62
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,600

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: you're not calling rappers out, you are also saying you're

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: calling them out for what they're saying for what are

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: their influencing you get? You know what I'm saying, letting

66
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: them know their power of being an influence, Like why

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: did you take that route?

68
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: Man? Because all these rappers claim they believe in God.

69
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: You heard me.

70
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: So if you claim you believe in God, then you

71
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: gotta say, okay, I.

72
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: Believe God's word.

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 5: And God's word literally says in Proverbs eighteen and twenty one,

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: there's life and death in the power.

75
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: Of that tongue. You heard me.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: It is so the words that we speaking, the words

77
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: that were putting out there making songs be going platinum off.

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: Of going triple platinum off of these words.

79
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 5: If we glorifying murder, glorifying drug dealing, glorifying being a

80
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: trap of drilling, you heard me, glorifying disrespecting women, how

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 5: does that show that you truly believe in God? Like

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: how it's a direct contradiction. It ain't hip hop. I

83
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: call it hipocritical hop. And that's the name of my

84
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: new album, hippocritical hop. You heard me, because that's what

85
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 5: the industry to turn to.

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah at DC, Yeah, you know how the past did

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: somebody in what sweat?

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

89
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's why, brother, I mean, on this stage

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 5: right here, raise your hand. If you done lost the

Speaker 4: I got listen, y'all.

98
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 5: This ain't rare no more. This is the norm in

99
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: our community. And we became complicit with that being normal. Man, murder, destruction, death,

100
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 5: jail time. That shouldn't be normal, right, That shouldn't be normal.

101
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: So I'm in the hip hop to just say hey,

00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: I was in bad he that believe that believe that.

125
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,640

127
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 5: to teach them multiplication division and they having trouble learning

128
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,360

Speaker 5: So if I really want to make a difference in

134
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: this world, maybe I need to be in hip hop

135
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 5: and have the heart of a teacher. But the platform

136
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: of a rapper, you heard me, And that's when I

137
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: became d one and I.

141
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: it ain't no good, it's jib if I had to

142
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: make it by compromising all my morals. So the goal

143
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: was I gotta make it as a rapper, but I

144
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400

182
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: dude for so many years. I got so many text

183
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 5: messages of me putting people on to him before we

184
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,520

186
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 5: day because I saw he would make me laugh so hard.

187
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 5: But then also I knew I was like, dang, this

188
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: brother got a huge platform, and don't mind letting people know. Man,

189
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 5: I'm a believer. I'm gonna know that that right there.

190
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 5: I admire that type of stuff you feel.

191
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: So I think that's good that what you do.

192
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: Sorry to me, areut you. It's good because I feel

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 6: like with having these platforms, a lot of people don't

194
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 6: realize you hold a responsibility to a certain extent.

195
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you rappers.

196
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 5: Be trying to act like it ain't my responsibility to

197
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 5: raise your kids.

198
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: I just feed my family off of this.

199
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 5: What you don't realize is the words that you're putting

200
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: out there. Man, we can all remember lyrics from our

201
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 5: favorite rap song from fifteen years ago right now. That's

202
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: how powerful music is. I can't remember a sermon from

203
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: fifteen years ago. I can't remember nothing my teachers told

204
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: me like a heart to heart talk fifteen years ago.

205
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: But I could wrap every Lil Wayne lyric from the

206
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 5: Call to One, the Call to two, the Carter three,

207
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: the Black is Hot lights out. You hear me like,

208
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: music is powerful. So when rappers act like I ain't

209
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: got no responsibility, I'm just doing this to make money

210
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 5: and then I'm going to live my life, that's selfish,

211
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 5: right in my opinion.

212
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 7: So speaking of responsibility and startling back to your background

213
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 7: and education, could you tell us a little bit about

214
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 7: the class that you were teaching at university?

215
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

216
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're talking about the one I

217
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: teach now, yeah yeah yeah yeah. I thought, man, I

218
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 5: thought people really knew that. Like, I'm a teacher first

219
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 5: and foremost. So three years ago when I announced that

220
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: now I'm a college professor in addition to being a rapper,

221
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: a lot of people were surprised. But if you really

222
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 5: know my background, Like I told DC, I've been a

223
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 5: teacher since before all this, so not teaching on a

224
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: college level. They gave me the freedom to develop a class.

225
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 5: So the name of my class is the intersection of

226
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: hip hop and Social chain, Right, So my whole class

227
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: we talk about how hip hop can be used to

228
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: make the social conditions better in our community.

229
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: You feel me? So it's a bl We talked never

230
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: Wednesday though, yes, e ever Wednesday. It wasn't university. It's

231
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: in Boston.

232
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: That's fig.

233
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 5: I fly from Atlanta up to Boston every week teach

234
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 5: and that fly back down that FI.

235
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 4: That's amazing every week, don't yeats all right?

236
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 7: Talking about practice?

237
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: What you Yeah, we're trying to you know what I mean.

238
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 5: It's cool because I really got like I was just

239
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: grading homework before I came out here in my student

240
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 5: what he was saying, Yeah, I was in my hotel.

241
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 5: I was grading their assignment. The last assignment that I

242
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 5: gave him was on uh we watched the Lil Wayne

243
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 5: interview where he was talking about his mental health. Right,

244
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 5: he did an interview with uh what's dual name? And man,

245
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 5: you will at you or something like that. The supposed

246
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: to do so Lil Wayne did an interview talking about

247
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 5: mental health and talking about how he shot himself when

248
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 5: he was younger because of his mental health he was

249
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: dealing with. We watched that in my class and we

250
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 5: did a whole lesson on the state of mental health

251
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 5: inside of hip hop. They said that seventy three percent

252
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 5: of artists, rap and singers deal with mental health issues.

253
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: So that just go to show you that although we shining,

254
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: we got jewelry, we got money, we're getting booked, a

255
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: lot of people hurting on the inside in this industry.

256
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 5: So man, like, that's why I like to ask DC

257
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: when I see them, how you doing off the mic.

258
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: I don't care about I see your book, I see

259
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: your calendar.

260
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: That's great, But we got to care about each other

261
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 5: as people, man, absolutely, because a lot of us struggling

262
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 5: and mental.

263
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 6: Health is so important.

264
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 7: And I don't know why as a community we shy

265
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 7: away from going to therapy, especially our black men.

266
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm a firm believe that God

267
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: is the therapist, because with therapy, they'll.

268
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: Beat around the bush. Sometimes people need to get it out.

269
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: When you're not at the house speaking and getting it

270
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: out and talking to the most high about it. Then

271
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: you're never really getting it off your chest. This will

272
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: be the first time you ever actually said it to

273
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: someone and now you're hearing it. But then they'll be.

274
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: Like, so why did you think like that?

275
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: Then? What made you?

276
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 6: It?

277
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: Make you talk, it makes you get it out. Never

278
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: really find a solution. They help you find a solution.

279
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's true.

280
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: Wow.

281
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: I think it takes a lot of work.

282
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 6: But I think y'all being black men who may you know,

283
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: go to church or talk about mental health because they

284
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 6: don't even feel like there's a safe space to talk

285
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 6: about that. So I think y'all having a big platform

286
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 6: and just opening up the conversation, they'll know like, hey,

287
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 6: yes I pray, Yes I go to church, Yes I

288
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: care about mental health. Just getting the conversation started right

289
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 6: you step.

290
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 3: But see, it's the stigma of men is already strong.

291
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: So like how he said that, how you doing? We

292
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: tend to everybody know that, don't nobody care about your problems?

293
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: You need to already have it figured out. I think

294
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: men have to come have to come together as a

295
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: collective to have people they can go to who are

296
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: problems solvers. Yeah, like, hey, bro, how you feel about this.

297
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: I need to get it on my chair anyway, but

298
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: I need to make sure I'm thinking in the right direction.

299
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: You feel what I'm.

300
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: Saying, because it ain't more so like you you talking

301
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: to a therapist about it. A lot of men just

302
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: ain't got nobody to talk to Pete.

303
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, and I think a lot of black

304
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: men don't want to accept either that it's okay to

305
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 7: not be okay. I feel like y'all feel like y'all

306
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 7: always have to have it all together, and you.

307
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 5: Don't because if you feel weak, and if if the

308
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 5: wrong person see you in your in your time of weakness,

309
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 5: they'll never let you live that down. Some dudes, they

310
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: girls would throw that in their face. Boy, you was

311
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 5: crying when such and such happening. Boy you ain't that

312
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 5: you ain't and man, that stuff will stick with you forever.

313
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: But it's more so like being in the army.

314
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: We gotta be trained in condition to know that, okay,

315
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: there is a problem, but you have already been trained

316
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: to handle problems. So it's like being in the army.

317
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: You're trained that you may encounter a problem. You just

318
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: don't know when. Yeah, so you don't win two three months.

319
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: Oh it's nice because everything is looked under control until

320
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: the until happened. And then now you in the army, nigga,

321
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 3: it's time to use all the gadgets. That's so on

322
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 3: your your vest, your friends who are supposed to be

323
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: prayer warriors. Dude, you got my back. All right, let's

324
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: go together, let's pray together. Or that's Everything is an analogy,

325
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: but you break it down and you apply it how

326
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: you apply it.

327
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying.

328
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: We're all emotionally and spiritually going through a battle even

329
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: when we leave our house, so we must be attacked

330
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: for whatever war that we may encounter. We may come

331
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: back home and be like, oh, that was a good day.

332
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: It was just that day that nothing happened. What about

333
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: tomorrow when now this is when you're gonna have to

334
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: apply all the knowledge and everything, apply it because it

335
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: don't it don't feed no purpose if nothing.

336
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: Is going on.

337
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's real. That's see what I'm saying.

338
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 6: Phil has been like your biggest obstacle in getting your

339
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 6: message out there.

340
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: My eagle, really, yeah, my eagle.

341
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, because sometimes getting my message out there, I'm knowing

342
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: that I'll overthink stuff you feel me, I'll be in

343
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 5: my own head. I'll be like, man, I text such

344
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: and such to hop on the song. They ain't hit

345
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 5: me back. Man, they must not really rock with me. Man,

346
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 5: maybe what I'm doing ain't all that impactful after all.

347
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: Next thing, you know, I'll psych myself out of even

348
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 5: wanting to attempt to be the best version of me

349
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: that I can because I done told myself.

350
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: Now you just David Man, you heard me like, yo, you.

351
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: Little your little fifteen minutes of fame might be cooling

352
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: off now or da da da the devil will really

353
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: have me thinking I'm just averaging mediocre out cheer.

354
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: You heard me?

355
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 5: When God is like, boy, you chosen you, hear me

356
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: like your light shines so bright in other people eyes.

357
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: But if I'm looking for approval from the world constantly,

358
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: then every time I get that rejection, I'll be sitting

359
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: there like, dang, I'm not worthy of something. When God

360
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: is like, if you wasn't worthy, I wouldn't even allow

361
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 5: you to be on my gee. You feel me, and

362
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 5: you only got a limit your time down here, So

363
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: why are you gonna overthink all these little precious minute

364
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 5: you got or you're just gonna say it back.

365
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: That ain't a rejection, that's a redirection. You heard me.

366
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 5: Keep it moving, keep it going, keep it going, you

367
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 5: feel So that's just trying to get out my own

368
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: way with my ego.

369
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: And to add on.

370
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: Top of that, I think I also have to be

371
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: instilled in us that every thought that come across in

372
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: our head is not us. A lot of people don't

373
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: know what to decipher, like, oh, that's not me.

374
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Every time somebody thinks something crazy, they're like, why am.

375
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: I thinking that I must be crazy?

376
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: You're like, hey, look, you're gonna drive yourself right then,

377
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: because you have to let the spirit get in control.

378
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: That's not you.

379
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: And once you realize that ain't me, you will have

380
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: something to lean on when the trum's trying to kick in.

381
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: What what did y'all just catch this man saying every

382
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: voce we hear in our head that ain't even us.

383
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: You heard me?

384
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 3: That's powerful because the enemy play playground is confusion. So

385
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: when you confused, just like you said, when all I'm

386
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: hearing is the enemy was just it was only and

387
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: you were like, am I really?

388
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 4: Am I really? They're not fucking with me?

389
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: No, that is the enemy telling you stuff and you're

390
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: starting to believe it. Yeah, And once you start to

391
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: believe it, it becomes really a lot of us create false.

392
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 4: And narratives in our head. Is faith? Yeah, literally, all

393
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: them shit's faint, literally yo.

394
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one that's not official, the one that does

395
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: not coming from the most high.

396
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

397
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 6: May those are the thoughts that you don't need to

398
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 6: water and pay attention to. Now when you do have

399
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: your good thoughts, those are the ones you're supposed to

400
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 6: really nourish, and those are the seeds that are supposed

401
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 6: to go.

402
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 4: And the other thing is this. If it's not ego,

403
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: it's money.

404
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you this because there was a time

405
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: in my life where I was like, man, if I

406
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: could ever have one hundred thousand dollars, boy, like that'd

407
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 5: be crazy because nobody in my family ever had six

408
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 5: figures all there once.

409
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: So it made six figures right.

410
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 5: Then it's like you get there and you get that,

411
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 5: and then it'd be like, oh, this ain't nearly enough.

412
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: Hold on, man, we gotta we gotta bump this thing.

413
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 5: I need five hundred kick Bam, you hit that go man,

414
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 5: I need a am you heard me, bam. And you

415
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: realize that there's never a point if we don't get

416
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: our mind in check.

417
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: Money will always be.

418
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: Something where it's like, all right, I'm dangling this amount

419
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 5: over your head. You grind so hard to get to that,

420
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 5: and then it's like, oh, I done moved up here.

421
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: Now you know what I'm saying. Now I'm dangling that amount.

422
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 5: And if we allow money to be a destination that

423
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 5: we're chasing as opposed to a tool that we're using,

424
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 5: then we'll be slaves to that money for our entire life.

425
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: Literally.

426
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: And if you're a slave to money, then you serving money.

427
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 5: You can't be serving God. You can't have two masters.

428
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: And as black people, we always gonna have an excuse.

429
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: We always gonna be able to say, well, man, I

430
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 5: gotta get this bag because my family ain't never have it.

431
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 5: All of us got that excuse if we want to

432
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 5: say that. I don't think none of us came from

433
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 5: a silver spoon, right, But we got to get to

434
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: the point to where we say, I'm not gonna lean

435
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 5: on that as a crutch. I'm gonna realize that there's

436
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 5: a healthy, balanced way to be about my bag. But

437
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: the real bag, the real bag is building a generation.

438
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: You hear men.

439
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 5: That's what a real bad we need to be chased,

440
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: breaking down word.

441
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,280

00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: come from.

473
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,600

476
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: a new album that I'm dropping this called Hypocritical Hop,

477
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 5: So get ready for that too.

478
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,320

482
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 5: you see what I'm saying.

483
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 6: And I think it's good to see, Like I said,

484
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 6: black people just in general, man and woman use our

485
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: platform to spread positivity and for them to see somebody

486
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 6: who is in the position that you're in and still

487
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 6: speaking about God, mental health and all those positive things.

488
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 6: I think that's amazing what you're doing because a lot

489
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 6: of people are scared to talk about it because they

490
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 6: feel like it's not relatable or it's.

491
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 4: Not We're definitely relatable, not women that we got to

492
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: make it cool. We gotta make cool, and we got to.

493
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 5: Make people feel comfortable being themselves because I guarantee you

494
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: ninety nine percent of black people are not going home

495
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 5: at night and praying to the devil. I guarantee you

496
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: it or not you like most people are out here

497
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: like yeah, man, absolutely, I know that it is a

498
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 5: higher power.

499
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: Then whether or not they feel like, well, that's.

500
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 5: Jesus, that's okay, that's this that some people trying to

501
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 5: figure it out, but they can't figure it out if

502
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 5: they don't have real life examples they're showing them like, look, man,

503
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 5: I'm a believer and I'm confident about who I believe

504
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 5: in and what I believe in.

505
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 4: You feel me, so.

506
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 6: That that rights who has real influence and who don't.

507
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: And once you realize really live and who you.

508
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: Are and yourself and people reject you, then it's like

509
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 6: who really are you? Then?

510
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: And once like God got you can't nobody to stop you.

511
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 7: Be afright to use your platform to promote him and

512
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 7: to let people know what He's dead in your life.

513
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 5: Because if you know that God is truly the distributor

514
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: of the blessing, uh huh, then you're gonna be like man,
