Speaker 1: So here's the thing about fifty. Okay, we're a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks outside of the super Bowl. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: by the time this episode, the memes have kind of
Speaker 1: slowed down about fifty hanging upside down at the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and we've we're in a consensus that this was between
Speaker 1: this and Prince were the two greatest super Bowl performances
Speaker 1: of oh time. Uh, anyway to think about this? Okay,
Speaker 1: So get Richard diet Trying debuted at number one in
Speaker 1: the Billboard. To understand, it sold eight seventy two thousand
Speaker 1: copies in the first week, and in its second week
Speaker 1: it's sold an additional eighty two thousand copies. So it's
Speaker 1: like it was the best selling album of two thousand
Speaker 1: three and sold twelve million copies worldwide. So did his
Speaker 1: legendary status is solidified. He's also one of the funny
Speaker 1: ist humans in rap music. He's there's no problem being
Speaker 1: a troll. He loves memes, he's hilarious. And I'm saying
Speaker 1: that I'm recording this to day after the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I'm positive as these him hanging upside that it's
Speaker 1: the combo of him hanging upside down and being a
Speaker 1: surprise guest and looking like he put on a few
Speaker 1: paths like it just was like, you don't look we
Speaker 1: see you all the time. Why you look so plump,
Speaker 1: Like you don't look that plump when you was right
Speaker 1: side up. And so anyway, his his legendary status is solidified.
Speaker 1: It was already that he and if y'all following me
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I absolutely predicted that he was gonna be
Speaker 1: the surprise guest. I also thought Warring You was coming,
Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. The point
Speaker 1: is uh oh. Also, I just remember Warring You had
Speaker 1: already performed earlier for he performed on m Okay weekend. Anyway,
Speaker 1: besides the point, H fifty probably is totally okay with
Speaker 1: the upside down memes because he's and I don't know,
Speaker 1: because again you're hearing this in the future. I might
Speaker 1: be wrong. I may have to eat my words, but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's funny, like fifty laughs at himself.
Speaker 1: And you gotta understand, black culture we nothing we make
Speaker 1: fun of. If no one is safe. I think I've
Speaker 1: said this multiple times. No one is safe. Anyone can
Speaker 1: get it, like anyone can crack jogs hell y'all remember
Speaker 1: those means of snoop going around with him when his
Speaker 1: hair wrapped, his dreads wrapped up, talking about he looked
Speaker 1: like somebody auntie, like dope, no one's safe, Like we
Speaker 1: just we laugh. We know it's safe. Anyway. I bring
Speaker 1: up fifty because I want to talk about that. Actually,
Speaker 1: that debut album that Give Rich or Die Trying. It
Speaker 1: was a a ton of interludes on that record, back
Speaker 1: when interludes were a thing, and they were skits where
Speaker 1: he was making fun of jah Rule, like when I
Speaker 1: tell you he gotta send it like his first album,
Speaker 1: he's it's like he coming at Jaw like he would be.
Speaker 1: He would be playing a song and you'd hear him
Speaker 1: go where would I be with all? Yo? Like he
Speaker 1: was like, that's me, I'm singing with myself. So it
Speaker 1: was like job Rule featuring jaw Rule. It was because
Speaker 1: jaw was featuring singing choruses on everybody's records at that time. Now,
Speaker 1: y'all might be like, jah Rule is that the dude
Speaker 1: from five Fest? So he didn't meet himself over five Fest.
Speaker 1: But trust me, there was a time the Ja and
Speaker 1: Murder ec were the hottest things out and then g
Speaker 1: Unit at fifty cent came for it. Just all these
Speaker 1: skids were just coming at Job, and it was like
Speaker 1: at that point we couldn't take Job serious the way
Speaker 1: that Fifthy was getting at him. Just be like, who
Speaker 1: would I be with all? Yo? Are you always singing
Speaker 1: these courses? And you shouted to say and it was
Speaker 1: God to do it, God to do with it just
Speaker 1: came at Job. But the part that really blew my
Speaker 1: mind was fifty did the same thing. He sang raspy
Speaker 1: on the courses and was featured on everything. Use the
Speaker 1: window shop, man that you came by, nigger, use the
Speaker 1: window shop. How about I got the magic stick I want?
Speaker 1: I can hear time I hit the baddest chick you.
Speaker 1: He did the same thing. It was almost like fifty
Speaker 1: came at Job because he was planning on replacing Job.
Speaker 1: Now fast forward to the Super Bowl in guess who
Speaker 1: was hanging upside down? And guess who is a meme
Speaker 1: about a failed doomed to fail festival? Mm hmmm, hood politics.
Speaker 1: Let's go, what's up y'all? Uh again? This is a
Speaker 1: day after the Super Bowl. I'm recording this so I'm
Speaker 1: still on the Los Angeles High like I feel like
Speaker 1: I could walk on water. I feel like every crip
Speaker 1: in the in the country is like after seeing Snoop
Speaker 1: stand up there throwing up oh in the Thamsburg. I'm
Speaker 1: I know that y'all have probably gone through all this
Speaker 1: already by the time that you hear this, But U man,
Speaker 1: when they the tams Burger signed up there, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole room where we are screamed. I know that
Speaker 1: don't mean nothing to y'all, Like, but if you're not
Speaker 1: from here, don't mean nothing to you. But that moment, Dog,
Speaker 1: that TAM's Burger's moment, it's a it's a burger joining
Speaker 1: confidence anyway, It's like it's just greasy burger. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a few spots like that Troy's Golden Ox. You
Speaker 1: know if if you're familiar with my music that's from
Speaker 1: milet that the Golden Ox, you know. Anyway, I'm still
Speaker 1: on a high about that. But this is all besides
Speaker 1: the point I can't stress to you. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to like take y'all back to like the time
Speaker 1: when Nelly had Niga is putting band aids on their
Speaker 1: cheeks for cuts. They didn't have foods are walking around
Speaker 1: here pretending like they had St. Louis accents going and
Speaker 1: what's up on her? Very dirty? Like. I know that
Speaker 1: this look is gonna come back one day, because that's
Speaker 1: how that's how things are. I'm telling y'all, I I
Speaker 1: don't think that was a good season in fashion that
Speaker 1: you look. It might be nostalgic, but I thought we
Speaker 1: look ridiculous like during this time. So this is post
Speaker 1: Tupac preg unit, you know, this era, post Biggie. This
Speaker 1: era meant that there was somewhat of a vacuum, you know,
Speaker 1: and deaf Jam kind of feeled this. So DMX came
Speaker 1: in and filled this this hole and he was basically
Speaker 1: the top of the world at the time. And then
Speaker 1: this other New York brother that what tie his bandanna
Speaker 1: like Tupac. You know, he was nice and ripped up, look,
Speaker 1: real real thug, you know, who was obviously inspired by
Speaker 1: Pope like everybody else was, but he was a New Yorker.
Speaker 1: He hooked I was doing that earth Gotti and they
Speaker 1: started this whole thing called Murder Inc. And he had
Speaker 1: that natural rask Some people just have that natural raspy voice,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of looked like he was like
Speaker 1: a prettier d MX. That's kind of the way he
Speaker 1: seemed at first, right, a DMX that will that is
Speaker 1: willing to do pop music. Because then Rough Riders, you know,
Speaker 1: they had some hits like John Are you know DMX
Speaker 1: asked why he's why we treasure him the way that
Speaker 1: we do. He had some hits, but he was rough.
Speaker 1: He was also a member of probably one of the
Speaker 1: greatest like tours ever. It was d m X jay
Speaker 1: z In Wu Tang, who's one of the greatest. It
Speaker 1: was the first, like one of the first like hip
Speaker 1: hop international tool. Anyway, the point is d m X
Speaker 1: meant something in us and then job come in is
Speaker 1: ballhead kind of caramely New Yorker. That was like visually
Speaker 1: harkening back to pack and they the machine just got
Speaker 1: behind him and he had hits after hits after hits.
Speaker 1: This girl Ashanti, you know, like this is I mean,
Speaker 1: this is all heads stuff Like this is like when
Speaker 1: I say early two thousands, that's this is exactly what
Speaker 1: we're talking about this moment thousand, two thousand, one, two
Speaker 1: thousand two, like Air Force ones times and yeah, again,
Speaker 1: I can't stress how absurd we looked in our styles,
Speaker 1: but Job was everywhere key and since Fifty didn't feel him,
Speaker 1: Eminem didn't feel him, and there was there's some Eminem.
Speaker 1: This is like there's parts of them and Fifty and
Speaker 1: all their careers. They mix tape worlds that like are
Speaker 1: hilarious because they just be going at like m took
Speaker 1: out everybody's name ben Zino and I know you don't
Speaker 1: know who that is because you're not into what I'm into,
Speaker 1: and partically because him kind of ended him. There's this
Speaker 1: song if you go back and let listen, I'm y'all
Speaker 1: google Google the song Bully by Eminem. He's talking about
Speaker 1: IRV Gotti and Murder Inc And Job rule because they
Speaker 1: had a thing, right. The point is Job was ginormous,
Speaker 1: But there was something about Fifty that everybody knew, oh man,
Speaker 1: that he had that like that Jamaica Queen's but with
Speaker 1: the Harlem kind of like you know, Mace was the
Speaker 1: first dude to rap like he was sleeping, you know,
Speaker 1: even just make system and said, so Fifty kind of
Speaker 1: harkened back to that sleepy kind of like him. But
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's Jamaica Queen's drug dealer. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and he's a giant, like he was
Speaker 1: super yoked. He was also running around here with his
Speaker 1: shirt off, so down to dude pop music. But when
Speaker 1: you connect with Dre, because you know, you gotta remember,
Speaker 1: like this rival between the East Coast and the West
Speaker 1: Coast about landing superstars, it wasn't as like it wasn't
Speaker 1: a I mean, there was moments where it was like
Speaker 1: serious beef, but when you was making money, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, us like, it's more like a rivalry,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So like, and for Fifty
Speaker 1: to come to Dre, you got this East Coast and Niget,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, on this West Coast going aftermath,
Speaker 1: going shady aftermath is just again just a testament to
Speaker 1: to Dre. But too in the club, the it was
Speaker 1: like Fifty already had with the Green Lantern mixtapes. This
Speaker 1: is DJ Green Lantern. I'm gonna really getting the weeds here.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to make a point with y'all, is
Speaker 1: that the buzz around Fifty was it was already super
Speaker 1: high before Dre and them even messed with him, Like
Speaker 1: he was already like he already had New York streets
Speaker 1: on lock like he was. We were already buzzing about him.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It was just this hungry
Speaker 1: shooter um and you just knew, like, oh, this fool
Speaker 1: Heath gonna be a star. Then you put that Dre
Speaker 1: sauce on him, that that co sign from Dr Dre
Speaker 1: out of here. The run Fifty made or the the
Speaker 1: G Unit runs starting would get Richard dry die trying
Speaker 1: and you know Valentine's Day massacre and just all like
Speaker 1: even down to like him making a bet. This might
Speaker 1: be legendary for some of y'all. He made a bet
Speaker 1: with Kanye that when he dropped his album I think
Speaker 1: January was dropping graduation, that they were bet to like
Speaker 1: who would do better in the first week and Kanye one,
Speaker 1: which in some way it was like a torch passing
Speaker 1: and the other ways was just like Fifty was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care we sold records, Like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it don't matter, it's our third rd
Speaker 1: as what I was trying to do, because again, fifty
Speaker 1: just smart. You know, fifty owned Vitamin Water. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you noticed, but like either way, When fifty
Speaker 1: came in, it was like, if I'm gonna take top seed,
Speaker 1: if my money, if I'm gonna be the biggest bully
Speaker 1: on the block, that somebody gotta take out. I'm not
Speaker 1: taking out d m X. He's already legendary, and fifty like,
Speaker 1: I don't really do that. Everybody else on my team.
Speaker 1: M's on my team. You know. The Dre and Eminem
Speaker 1: went fifty fifty on fifty. That's a line in one
Speaker 1: of them sawing I'm telling you to google. They went
Speaker 1: on fifty, so shady aftermath into g UNIT records like
Speaker 1: this was, and then you know g Unit, you know,
Speaker 1: and then game came in and the game you get
Speaker 1: to Kendrick and the top dog entertainment gets us to now.
Speaker 1: But and knowing your lineage, like the choice was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: who do I take out? If I'm gonna if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be on the top, I gotta take out somebody
Speaker 1: who's on top of y'all. Rule fifty was like he corny,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him out. He corny, And at least
Speaker 1: that's the way he presented. And I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: in my opinion out here on the West, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Joab was carny to me, like, I mean, I can't
Speaker 1: take away from his hits, but it wasn't. I wasn't
Speaker 1: into that, you know what I'm saying, especially because he
Speaker 1: just like looked like he was just trying to be
Speaker 1: popped to me, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: was saying, I'm good. Anyway, Fifty took him out and
Speaker 1: then it wasn't until four albums later that I realized,
Speaker 1: oh wait, Fifty, he's doing what John did. He's just
Speaker 1: doing it better. But it's the same. It's the he
Speaker 1: just he took the whole format murdering g unit like
Speaker 1: you just you get the squad together, you got your boss.
Speaker 1: Order inks boss was that was IRV Gotti over here.
Speaker 1: They had dre you know what I'm saying, and you
Speaker 1: just the problem with murder Inc. Was all they had
Speaker 1: are they they had else was a shanty like there
Speaker 1: wasn't enough other shooters g un it. I mean Lloyd Banks,
Speaker 1: Lloyd Banks did numbers, you know what I'm saying, Tony Yo,
Speaker 1: I mean he got he went to prison. But that
Speaker 1: was dope. Young Buck was dope. And then to cap
Speaker 1: it off a game even though they had their their
Speaker 1: issues like g Unit, like he took a format and
Speaker 1: made it work to the points aware none of us noticed.
Speaker 1: Now let me add this, it's not to say that
Speaker 1: like you know, Mega Cruz was didn't some abready exist.
Speaker 1: You had you know, Native Tongue already, you know Harlem
Speaker 1: World with with Mason m you had you know, Junior Mafia,
Speaker 1: Like this is it's cruise and you just you put
Speaker 1: people out the same lunatics like it's a it's a
Speaker 1: way to that's how you do it, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I'm not saying that like it's an
Speaker 1: easy one to one because I mean it's it's a
Speaker 1: normal thing in the hip hop to like you know,
Speaker 1: one person get on and then you try to get
Speaker 1: everybody else on. But the similarities were just with this
Speaker 1: particular moment was pretty glaring. He just did what he
Speaker 1: just picked up where John left off, but did it better.
Speaker 1: It just didn't feel corty when fifty did it. It's
Speaker 1: the it was the weirdest thing, like calling me on front,
Speaker 1: I'll teach you how to stunt, like it just dun, dunt.
Speaker 1: It just didn't feel corny when fifty did it. But
Speaker 1: it's the same play. What this got to do with politics, y'all?
Speaker 1: Following the Governor de Santis, Man, listen, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: into the weeds here with a little bit of more
Speaker 1: evidence of of of what I think. But I think here,
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. Somebody like Trump just is again
Speaker 1: larger than life in their party. He got that party
Speaker 1: in a death grip. They nobody want to jump out
Speaker 1: of line. And if they do that, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a risk some people do they I mean what they
Speaker 1: centered Liz Shaney, like, you know, either way, a few
Speaker 1: people are broke. Old Pensy finally stood up and was like, listen,
Speaker 1: Mr Trump was wrong. And even with that, like, I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody got any doubt in their mind that
Speaker 1: Trump is most likely gonna be the Republican NET nominee
Speaker 1: despite all reasons why he shouldn't be. He gonna be
Speaker 1: because he on top right now. He just up. But
Speaker 1: what would make you think that all of the sudden
Speaker 1: ambition has left anybody else inside that party? You think
Speaker 1: they like that, You think these people have never You
Speaker 1: don't think Mike Pence has ever had presidential inklings. You
Speaker 1: don't think Governor abbott Out in Texas ain't thought about it.
Speaker 1: You don't think the Santos, you don't think these fools
Speaker 1: ain't thought about a run for office. They just know that,
Speaker 1: like God damn it, it's the wrong place at the
Speaker 1: wrong time, because this fool Trump got the party by
Speaker 1: the neck and kin and he's and it's crazy because
Speaker 1: he's able to swing it from the outside and just
Speaker 1: he just he got it. But that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: ambition disappears. So I say that rambling intro to say this,
Speaker 1: how do you possibly have a chance to even execute
Speaker 1: your ambition to dethrone him? You gotta do him the
Speaker 1: way fifty did John. You gotta become him a second break,
Speaker 1: all right? So what would be the game and what
Speaker 1: would lead me to think this? Now? Again it's a hell, Mary,
Speaker 1: I don't know how because I think in the head
Speaker 1: to head at this point between the Santos and Trump,
Speaker 1: he's to me it's like the closest chance of ever
Speaker 1: like actually having a shot. It's still like, uh, Trump,
Speaker 1: don't smoke you, you know what I'm saying. But you
Speaker 1: have everybody else that may have ambitions and you ain't.
Speaker 1: Nobody else got no shot as far as I'm concerned
Speaker 1: that being said, Like, I'm balancing this prediction with the
Speaker 1: fact that, like, no, we didn't think I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: predicted that, like fifty with dethrone Job, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I wouldn't have predicted that, Like Job's
Speaker 1: kind of a joke, like Lightweight, like low Ki is
Speaker 1: a joke. You know, I knew I wasn't really into it.
Speaker 1: Be granted, a lot of that joking this is because
Speaker 1: of like Firefest, But that being said, like I don't
Speaker 1: see him getting the credit and the relevance that fifty
Speaker 1: has seemed to continue to have, and I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: never predicted that. But back to Florida. So if we're
Speaker 1: gonna go with this motif like how fifty did jah,
Speaker 1: we need to look at like what Job did well?
Speaker 1: Was Okay? He was a lovable thug, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, with a with a raspy voice that could
Speaker 1: kind of keep you know, No, he had enough streets,
Speaker 1: but he had enough pretty boy in this. He was fit,
Speaker 1: you know, he's easy on the eyes, um, and he
Speaker 1: was everywhere, he was on everything, and he made this
Speaker 1: made us feel like you were buying into something bigger
Speaker 1: than what he is. So you look at that, you say,
Speaker 1: what is he doing? Well, I'm gonna do that. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna do it better. So and follow me here,
Speaker 1: what what did? What has Trump done? Well? Uh? You
Speaker 1: know he I mean, he's convinced the world to believe
Speaker 1: him no matter what he says. You know, he's he's
Speaker 1: great at myth making, right, controlling narratives. He knows how
Speaker 1: to weaponize all things for his favor. He plays the
Speaker 1: grievances in a way that it's just he's good at it.
Speaker 1: He can play the grievances, you know, to the point
Speaker 1: to where the a point by point facts about something.
Speaker 1: It don't no one gives it. It's you. You're you're
Speaker 1: scratching the itch the itch I need. And even if
Speaker 1: that itch is absurd, and even if the itches, even
Speaker 1: if the grievance is like as anyone with logic like
Speaker 1: kind of understands that, like, yo, this is a silly grievance.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Opinion on the grievance doesn't matter. Use
Speaker 1: it for your good, use it for your power. And
Speaker 1: that's something that Trump does well. He can control a narrative.
Speaker 1: He plays the grievances he presents. He presents in power.
Speaker 1: He talks in absolutes. You know, this is the greatest
Speaker 1: in the history of the country. Like he talks in absolutes,
Speaker 1: um and when it comes to that, But then he
Speaker 1: also uses things like many people are saying, A lot
Speaker 1: of people are saying, and it's like, well, it's this again,
Speaker 1: just this master of the language, because many and a
Speaker 1: lot it's like defined that what do you mean what
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying? Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: heard I guess they were saying that you know this
Speaker 1: and this. So it's just like that, I can't pin you.
Speaker 1: I can't pin you on where you get in this
Speaker 1: evidence Like he hadn't already moved on to something else,
Speaker 1: so you know what I'm saying, like, I can't you
Speaker 1: can't use put your finger on jello. It's amazing at it,
Speaker 1: And he could rally the troops. He's created a cult
Speaker 1: following in a way that every artist should wish they
Speaker 1: would be able to create that type of loyalty. That's
Speaker 1: this man made to where the dumbest ship This dude,
Speaker 1: dude don't even matter. Did y'all see about the flush
Speaker 1: and the papers down the toilet that he he was
Speaker 1: complaining about. Did y'all like this? So much happened y'all
Speaker 1: missed this. The man was complaining about the toilets in
Speaker 1: the White House. That day's low flush toilet, it's take
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen times and flushing, and he said, America
Speaker 1: complaining about that too. Little did we know? The report
Speaker 1: just came out that it was it wasn't flushing because
Speaker 1: of the documents in it. There was, it wasn't flushing
Speaker 1: because it was full of papers. This fool was flushing
Speaker 1: documents down the toilet, and I honestly think it's because
Speaker 1: Homie ain't no like he ain't no, he don't know
Speaker 1: this n went and got a box of presidential documents
Speaker 1: and took him back to mar Lago. I'm positive he
Speaker 1: thought those were souvenirs. I don't think it was as
Speaker 1: simple as he's high in evidence, like that's easy. I
Speaker 1: think this man, this man brain bakes so much that
Speaker 1: he don't he'd probably been flushing documents down the toilet
Speaker 1: four years. A little difference doesn't make it. Just it
Speaker 1: goes away and the toilet is not working. You just
Speaker 1: called somebody don't talk to the plumber that comes fixed
Speaker 1: the toilet that says, Mr Trump, your toilet was full
Speaker 1: of you're talking to the plumber that show up is
Speaker 1: talking to an assistant, a groundskeeper that says, yo, y'all
Speaker 1: know it's in the whole last ream of paper in
Speaker 1: your in your pipes. That's why your pipes don't work.
Speaker 1: You think that little assistant gonna go tell Mr. Trump
Speaker 1: circuit you gotta stop flushing paper now. It ain't gonna
Speaker 1: tell him nothing. So like I bet you this. It
Speaker 1: was like, that's just what it's like, because this is
Speaker 1: so absurd, but it do matter because y'all think it's
Speaker 1: gonna elect you for your candidate. Again, this is being
Speaker 1: pluging paper down the toilet like yeah, coo, y'all. This
Speaker 1: man took a box of souvenirs from the White House, like,
Speaker 1: you ain't niktos a government document. They're not yours. You can't.
Speaker 1: You don't get you don't. That's not how the ship work.
Speaker 1: But none of that matters because Trump is they got
Speaker 1: So if you do Santos uh, I keep calling him
Speaker 1: to Santos. His name is the Santist. Although I have
Speaker 1: a sneaking suspicion. I can't prove this that that the
Speaker 1: name is Santos. He's just trying to hide his up
Speaker 1: Latino on this, kind of like your boy Ted Cruz Raphael,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, that's your name, it's Ted,
Speaker 1: like whatever, and then Beto oh Roy trying to trying
Speaker 1: to add Latin to it. I think it's his toys anyway.
Speaker 1: So the game is you gotta like you're gonna do
Speaker 1: him like fifty did Job. You gotta essentially become him,
Speaker 1: but you've got to become a better version of him. Nigga,
Speaker 1: good luck, and you gotta do it your way, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh that's not to say that fifty is just a
Speaker 1: version of Job, but you're following a metaphor. Obviously fifties himself,
Speaker 1: but he's just nig I mean, he got to hang
Speaker 1: upside down in the super Bowl. Let anyway. So first step,
Speaker 1: and this is just from watching videos of De Santos talk,
Speaker 1: of De Santi's talk, like I would love for y'all
Speaker 1: when you've done with this, just go look at speeches.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like down to his gesturing, his voice inflections,
Speaker 1: the way that he's moving his hands, that it's it's
Speaker 1: Trumpian like you're doing you're doing and of of visual
Speaker 1: impression of him. And I don't know that. Man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's on purpose, but I I just
Speaker 1: know performance. I know in some ways some of that's like,
Speaker 1: you know, if y'all really looked at like if you
Speaker 1: were able to get ahold of my Yeah, no, none
Speaker 1: about this, but that rollodex of CDs you know from
Speaker 1: my childhood, and you were to piece together all the
Speaker 1: different wrap groups, punk groups, jazz and soul groups, if
Speaker 1: you were to piece it all together, you would you
Speaker 1: could be able to link and log my performance together.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, that's this is where PROP got that from,
Speaker 1: because that's who influenced me. So I think that there's
Speaker 1: a there's an innocence reality of that of like, yo,
Speaker 1: you just get influenced by what you're around. But then
Speaker 1: there's the part of you that's like, I'm actually trying
Speaker 1: to invoke this, you know, when I get on stage,
Speaker 1: you know, and I throw you know, my west Side
Speaker 1: w up, you know what I'm saying, put my elbows
Speaker 1: up and take a skip into a sea walk. I
Speaker 1: know what I'm invoking. Of course, yes, um, from l A.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm I'm from here,
Speaker 1: so this is a part of my influence. But I'm
Speaker 1: invoking something. I'm trying to invoke the power and legacy
Speaker 1: of what y'all saw at the super Bowl. I'm invoking that,
Speaker 1: and it's purposeful because I'm like, that's what y'all know,
Speaker 1: that's what y'all ride with. I'm clearly not as famous
Speaker 1: as them, so I'm trying to invoke stuff that reminds
Speaker 1: you with him nick it duh, right, And it's also
Speaker 1: like but it's also and that's my head, like I'm
Speaker 1: from l A. Like of course it that stuff impressed
Speaker 1: me the way that it impressed you. It changed my life,
Speaker 1: changed my life the way it changed our life. So
Speaker 1: there's there's some innocence to it, but there's also some
Speaker 1: tactical moves in here. I'm invoking that, right, So I'm
Speaker 1: watching Governor de Santos invoked, you know, he stays. Secondly,
Speaker 1: I can't speak to his voting record because he wasn't
Speaker 1: on my radar. He's not my governor. I can't speak
Speaker 1: to a lot of so I don't I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't speak in any sort of confidence
Speaker 1: about like where he's been. I mean, y'all could google that,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about what seems to me to be
Speaker 1: like bio mimicry. You know what I'm saying, Like it's
Speaker 1: fifty did ja. And the first is to go with
Speaker 1: kind of how he's handling the laws around the pandemic.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it. It looks as though he's
Speaker 1: playing against a lot of grievances. But I want to
Speaker 1: get to specifically where I'm like, Okay, he found his
Speaker 1: button and what's going to get him power and get
Speaker 1: him the headlines? Because it continues to work, and it's
Speaker 1: the critical race theory wars. It's working because I mean,
Speaker 1: my Little Last podcast is doing a show on it now.
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you listen to the show, you already
Speaker 1: know like the national dialogue around like critical race theory.
Speaker 1: He is one of the first governors to be like,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to teach a period. I'm down to
Speaker 1: band books. You're not gonna do this right now. Um.
Speaker 1: I got the story from CBS News about the debate
Speaker 1: over whether critical race theory is indoctrination and being taught
Speaker 1: in schools and I'm gonna quote this from the CBS
Speaker 1: news article that saw it, says, head of head of
Speaker 1: teachers union says critical race theory isn't taught in schools
Speaker 1: and vows to defend on his history. Now, granted this
Speaker 1: is one side, Mom, go ahead and read it for you, says.
Speaker 1: The debate over how race is taught in schools continues
Speaker 1: to be a hot button issues in many districts, and
Speaker 1: the president of America's largest teachers union is speaking out
Speaker 1: against the efforts to band critical race theory. In a speech, um,
Speaker 1: Randy uh Wine Garden, the head of the American Federation
Speaker 1: of Teachers, says critical race theory is not even taught
Speaker 1: in elementary schools, and she vowed to fight culture warriors
Speaker 1: who are bullying teachers. Now, I think in the episode
Speaker 1: before this one, if I know how to schedule wing,
Speaker 1: I talked about how sometimes terms can get stretched into
Speaker 1: a place to where they don't mean anything. And I
Speaker 1: can tell you with a hundred percent confidence, everything I
Speaker 1: know about other anything other than white people, happened outside
Speaker 1: of school or in college. I'm telling y'all, there wasn't
Speaker 1: a single rop. No one taught me anything about anything
Speaker 1: other than a white man's perspective. Even when we were
Speaker 1: doing world history, I remember we learned about medieval Japan
Speaker 1: in in seventh grade. I remember learned about medieval Japan
Speaker 1: and then you know different or the different empires of China.
Speaker 1: But they were taught still from a lens of European expansion.
Speaker 1: You're just telling me that like they just existed. I
Speaker 1: the only reason I knew anything about the history of
Speaker 1: black Latinos or or anybody else in America was because
Speaker 1: my father told me so black panther I knew because
Speaker 1: of what of movies. They didn't teach me that, nobody
Speaker 1: told No one taught this. I ain't know what the
Speaker 1: word met critical race theory until college. So the outrage
Speaker 1: I'm saying from my own perspective is like it's not happening,
Speaker 1: Like God, I don't understand what you're talking about. What
Speaker 1: you're saying is don't talk about racism period. And we're like, well,
Speaker 1: that's not critical race theory, nigga, that's just what the
Speaker 1: hell happened, And that's a different that's a different story.
Speaker 1: The Santo's got out in front was like, no, you're
Speaker 1: gonna stop washing and stuff down our kids. So and
Speaker 1: they's like, nigga washing what down your throats? You know what?
Speaker 1: That reminds me of? That reminds me of the whole Like,
Speaker 1: these immigrants are coming, and they're coming, these hordes, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna take your jobs. So you got somebody out
Speaker 1: there in callus Bell, Montana telling me that these Mexican
Speaker 1: immigrants are gonna come take their jobs. I'm like, have
Speaker 1: you ever seen a Mexican? What's the percentage of Mexicans
Speaker 1: up here in Callisville? There is no immigrant coming taking
Speaker 1: your job? The funk is you talking about? But it's
Speaker 1: the principalities of the thing they take it. It's it's
Speaker 1: the metaphorically speaking, they take. And this you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you hit that button. The big lie
Speaker 1: we talked about, the big lie. You hit that button.
Speaker 1: It is not real, but the principalities of the situation
Speaker 1: is real. You keep hitting that button and you know
Speaker 1: that's not true, but you keep hitting the button. Why, nigga?
Speaker 1: Because it works. Then your man Santos went so far
Speaker 1: as to say, which is I mean, it's the greatest.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so I'm impressed, my nigga, Like I'm impressed,
Speaker 1: my man said. On Tuesday, a bill backed by Florida
Speaker 1: Governor de Santists would prohibit public schools and private businesses
Speaker 1: from inflicting discomfort on white people during lessons and trainings
Speaker 1: about discrimination. It was approved by the State Education Committee
Speaker 1: um and its first hurdle and becoming a law. The
Speaker 1: bill asp one seemingly grew out of the conservative hysteria
Speaker 1: over a critical race theory, which, as a reminder, is
Speaker 1: an academic concept based on the idea that racism is
Speaker 1: not about individual people's prejudices, but about institution and policies.
Speaker 1: It does not, as the GOP lawmakers and its partners
Speaker 1: in the right wing media would want us to believe,
Speaker 1: teach us that all white people are racist, but y'all
Speaker 1: are though I'm just kidding. Uh, that's that's a joke.
Speaker 1: But if you want to unpack the joke, it's because racism,
Speaker 1: as this is saying, it's institutionalized. So even to participate
Speaker 1: in the institution, by definition of what we mean by racism,
Speaker 1: would mean that if you end up the institution, you're racist.
Speaker 1: You're participating in a racist system. But don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to split those hairs. Just like I
Speaker 1: might say that I'm a socialist, but nigga, I live
Speaker 1: in America. I'm a capitalist, like it, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. By participating in capitalism, I don't know to
Speaker 1: tell you I'm a capitalist. You know what what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: even even if I know something wrong with it. I
Speaker 1: know I'm not gonna price gouge. I know I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna like participating bad practices that continue to oppressed the poor.
Speaker 1: I know that, y'a. Also, I'm in the ocean. You
Speaker 1: gotta swim. The ocean is capitalism now. So the man's
Speaker 1: man's was like, I'm passing a law that's not gonna
Speaker 1: that's gonna make white people, you know, experience discomfort and
Speaker 1: for the group of people that call everybody snowflakes, and
Speaker 1: easily triggered this like y'all trying to burn books on
Speaker 1: some like Fahrenheit that that's probably the most like Fahrenheit
Speaker 1: forfit you want, that's one of the books they want
Speaker 1: us to burn. And I'm like, do y'all hear the
Speaker 1: irony in this? Like y'all don't even think you see
Speaker 1: the irony in this. The point is I'm not even
Speaker 1: worried about that. I'm saying, niggad, that's a play. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's a play that is so trumpy. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, to be on some like you can't make
Speaker 1: white people feel bad. It's I feel like it's a
Speaker 1: one upping, like you one up in this nigked You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to become some sort of hero
Speaker 1: to this group, to create this like fan base. You
Speaker 1: feel me, that's gonna help you ride into the position.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, nig a, good luck. You're gonna need a
Speaker 1: lot old dumbass laws passed if you're gonna really convince
Speaker 1: these people to back you instead of President Trump. I mean, nigga,
Speaker 1: good luck. But I can see what you're doing. Though
Speaker 1: I see your moves. How are you going to force
Speaker 1: that you can't say something that's gonna make somebody white uncomfortable? Like, nigga,
Speaker 1: have you seen a Karen? Do you know what makes
Speaker 1: white people uncomfortable? Everything? I don't know a very existence.
Speaker 1: By thinking like, it's it possible to not make y'all
Speaker 1: feel discomfort. Like obviously I'm speaking to gross generalities, but
Speaker 1: I'm like, niggas be walking their dogs fools, be minding
Speaker 1: their own business, having their own conversation, eating meals. Afghani
Speaker 1: family eating the meal, listening to music by their self
Speaker 1: on a local park, and Nigga's calling White Oak call
Speaker 1: to the post Leice talking about like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how to not make y'all feel discomfort. Somebody wearing her
Speaker 1: job because that's her religion, like her religions, says she
Speaker 1: needs to wear a hand cover you you're feeling discomfort, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the for do you want me
Speaker 1: to tell you? I don't know how we posted enforced this.
Speaker 1: I like it. The only way to enforce this, follow me,
Speaker 1: is for us to disappear. And you see the game.
Speaker 1: It's that's I mean, that's the game, all right, it's
Speaker 1: our fifty did job. At least to me, that's what
Speaker 1: that's the play he's doing because ambition. Don't disappear just
Speaker 1: because it's somebody on top. Matter of fact, I'll bet
Speaker 1: you it's people hellless salty that he taken up so
Speaker 1: much space. So one more thing to add, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is what happens. You record episodes live too early, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, then you get new information
Speaker 1: another whole fifty did Job metaphor was you know about
Speaker 1: the possibility of somebody like a De Santos being able
Speaker 1: to dethrone Donald Trump, Which I don't think it's necessarily possible,
Speaker 1: but maybe. But in that metaphor, if we're gonna continue
Speaker 1: it going on, then um, somebody that fifty or Job
Speaker 1: didn't calculate for who ended up dethroning them both. Kanye West.
Speaker 1: Nobody saw him coming, not even his own label. Nobody
Speaker 1: saw him coming, and he became the dude. So I
Speaker 1: guess in the comparison, it would say if the Santos
Speaker 1: is attempting to dethrone the Trump, which I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: see coming, just like we didn't see fifty d throne
Speaker 1: and jab somebody that neither wanted him accounted for. It's
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor, the Green She might take both day seats.
Speaker 1: Well the Santos. I hope you'll get rich or die,
Speaker 1: try and record do enough numbers, because uh, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna try to take on the ball sneak, you better
Speaker 1: get your weight up. But I think maybe getting your
Speaker 1: weight up means attempting to pass more racist laws hood politics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's here thing was recorded by ME Propaganda in East
Speaker 1: Low's Boil Heights, Los Angeles, California. This smug was mixed, edited, mastered,
Speaker 1: and scored by Matt Osowski. I can totally say his name, guys,
Speaker 1: it was it was a stick. He's won by Matt
Speaker 1: now again because he got into some legal situations with
Speaker 1: the name Headlights. Y'all know, common used to be called
Speaker 1: common sense. You know, tip t I was tipped sometimes
Speaker 1: it happened. Executive produced by the one and only Sophie
Speaker 1: Lectorman for a Cool Zone Media and the theme music
Speaker 1: by the one and only Gold Tips Gold Tips d
Speaker 1: J Shawn p So. Y'all just remember listen every time
