53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,480

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: lists about who was the you know, the greatest or

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,160

Speaker 4: that we had grew up with, you know, so we

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: just felt that we had to take the route, you know,

59
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: of getting into that conversation, but we don't want to

60
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: get a stray from really, you know, of seeing and

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: letting y'all know what's going on in the in the streets,

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: in the communities to let's not let's not say streets,

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: but just what's going on in our communities.

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: Across the country because me and eight y'all go see

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: us in y'all city in twenty twenty four April, we

00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: would be in the ATA in Atlantic Georgia. More than

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400

Speaker 3: with Project Petra.

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: It would just be it would just be a little

71
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: silly of us not to focus on the communities and

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: what's going going on. Because outside of hip hop and

73
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: music and Hollywood and movies and all that shit. Like

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: I always say when I make records, I like to

75
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: represent for the for the struggle. Niggas still the nigga

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 4: that's still caught up in the shit. So sometimes we

77
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: gotta address that what's still going on in the communities,

78
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: because it's a lot of niggas that are still out

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,320

Speaker 4: of LA and Southern California and Northern California, West Coast, whatever.

81
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: But like I used to tell niggas, niggas was banging

82
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: everywhere I went.

Speaker 3: They're banging in Houston, Texas.

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: That's one thing. That's one thing we're gonna try to

86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: do too. You know, when we go into these towns

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: or these places, when we start hitting the road with

88

104
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: in LA or not just LA, but any place this

105
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: an urban area, you know, an urban inc live man

106
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: in our community. Man, it's hard to keep peace man,

107
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: with all the politics and everything's going on. Man, how

108
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: did you get into your line of work? Man?

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 6: Well, thank you very much and much love and respect

110
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 6: to you and brother A. You know, of course, one

111
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 6: of the catalysts that carried I speak collectively at this

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 6: very moment in regards to getting the efforts for a

113
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 6: piece during the peace treaty was his song that opened

114
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 6: up our radio show that stimulated the mindset of the

115
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 6: people because the music that he was playing was quite influential,

116
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 6: and it reached the consciousness of brothers in the streets

117
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 6: in such a way that you guys combined have touched

118
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 6: people in multiple ways that you will never know. So

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 6: when you get something like that and you get brothers

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 6: like yourself and him who were during that time that

121
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 6: was very critical for the survival of our race. You

122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 6: guys weren't beating the war drum because there's different rhythms,

123
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 6: and there's different music and different sounds and symbols and

124
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 6: colors that activate black people. Although black it's not a people,

125
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 6: it's a condition. So when you got a brother that

126
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 6: was singing in them tones and then dealing with crisis

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 6: in the streets, you know, and high places, you never

128
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: know who you influence. So right now today, although we

129
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 6: did the peace thing, you know, I've been to three

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty gang related funerals. I've buried little kids

131
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 6: in boxes this big when me and my brother had

132
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 6: to beat the Paul barri because no one showed up,

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 6: I've done over two hundred gang I say peace treaties

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 6: because at the time that was the operative word, like

135
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 6: the word narrative, is the operative word now, But at

136
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: that time peace was a word that was either escalation

137
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 6: or de escalation word.

138
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: And now ever since then, you.

139
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 6: Know, peace really mean if you look at the acronymys

140
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 6: powered education always correct errors, you know what I'm saying.

141
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 6: So once we get the power to education, we can

142
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 6: always correct the errors of our people. So what I

143
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: decided to do, by God's grace and his grace alone

144
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 6: and with the blessings of the people, God inspired me

145
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 6: to come up with a thing called the understanding, getting

146
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 6: in understanding Because youngsters today, they was born during wartime,

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 6: so they're not familiar with peace, you know what I'm saying.

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 6: They was born in the eighties or the late nineties.

149
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 6: We've been at war in America for over fifty for

150
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 6: thirty years now, you know. And I oftentimes tell people

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 6: it's like, it's a damn shame that I've lost more

152
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 6: friends on the Crenshaw Strip that they've lost in all

153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: the wars on the Gods.

154
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Strip, even up to this very day, you know what

155
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean.

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 6: I've been I've noticed that there's been fifteen thousand just

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: gang related funerals in Los Angeles alone, and some of

158
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 6: those people potential doctors, theologian, scientists, rappers, engineers, and philosophers.

159
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 6: So when people ask me what is it that you do,

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 6: I just want to set the reconstrate because there's a

161
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: lot of malarkey coming across the internet in regards to

162
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 6: the efforts and the image of black men and Los

163
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 6: Angeles in particular, which reflects around the world, and as

164
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 6: a result of that, they think that all of us

165
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 6: as wild ass niggas and rob and kill. Absolutely not emphatically, No,

166
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 6: that's not the case, because we got strong individuals like

167
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 6: yourself and eight that are personifying their image on a

168
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 6: balance level to be able to convey your message to

169
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: the hood and keep your license to operate, as well

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 6: as convey a.

171
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Message of hope and prosperity to the future.

172
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, man Wild And I couldn't have said that

173
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 3: more eloquently. He broke it down. And I think that's

174
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: important because one of the elements that you mentioned was

175
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: the music. And you know, I get a lot of

176
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: people asking me, why is the show called The Gangster Chronicles.

177
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: You don't bang and and this and that. No, it's

178
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: gangsters all across the world. You know, it's gangsters all

179
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: across the world. And when you start thinking about the

180
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: definition of a gangster, I think we've kind of minimalized that,

181
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: you know, because there are several things in a gangster.

182
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: It's gangster the brother that wake up every morning at

183
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: four o'clock when it's rain and cold. He don't feel

184
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: like it to go go to work because he gotta feed.

185
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: It's three or four kids in the house and you know,

186
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: put a roof over their head, and he gets up rain.

187
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: He'll sleep the snow and no despite how he's feeling physically.

188
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: That's gangster. The brother that comes out of prison and decides,

189
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna change my life and I'm opening up a barbershop.

190
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: That's gangster to me. Anyone that defives the eyes said

191
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: it forth in front of him is gangster. And when

192
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: you talk about the music like you just did, music

193
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: is a very spiritual thing, Yes, sir, it reaches our soul.

194
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, and I'm not going off, but this

195
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: is a parallelt what we talk about. You know, everybody's

196
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: been talking about scarfaces, tiny desk. You know how he

197
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: had the live instrumentation there and he was just spitting

198
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: the ghetto poetry. I don't even want to call a rap.

199
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 3: It was ghetto poetry, you know, and it just made

200
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: you feel a certain way because music is spiritual the

201
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: same way. Well, when you in church and service on Sunday,

202
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: how they get up there, they singing, man, and the

203
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 3: sisters get to slap, and they tambourines and they dance. Man,

204
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: It's an energy, and that energy can either be positive

205
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: or negative. If you're out there preaching destruction, it can

206
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: be negative. You're talking about a crucial period elite in

207
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: the late eighties early nineties, whenmusic was just going to

208
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: a different place. And see one thing that deal with

209
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: his music, as did a lot of other brothers, a

210
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: couple other brothers, a few special brothers. They not only

211
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: showed the pros and glorified it like okay, I'm getting

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: away out sold fifty chickens and I got away clean.

213
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: You know, killed a couple of police officer in the process.

214
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: He talks about the bad stuff that happen. I got smoked,

215
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: I got went to jail, this happened to home, he

216
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: got killed. How influential do you think music was?

217
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 6: Well to have someone and again not to just use

218
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 6: the brother as an example, but having someone like him.

219
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 6: You know, you have to speak to the people in

220
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 6: the language in which they understand, you know what I mean.

221
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 6: And at that time, the way that they were able

222
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 6: to convey their message of experiences based on living in Compton,

223
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: South Central and Watts, it had to come in such

224
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 6: a way that they can captivate the imagination of the

225
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 6: American people. So oftentimes his personal experience that he had

226
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 6: was conveyed through his music because that's what he was

227
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: told to do by his tribe from Tragnu, whatever tribe

228
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 6: that he's from. So when you get that type of

229
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: inspiration and then you going to those studios, you can

230
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: only if it ain't in you, it's not gonna come

231
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 6: out you you know what I mean. So at that time,

232
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: there was really no voice in South Central Watson, Compton,

233
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 6: you know, him and a couple other brothers that was

234
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 6: putting it down and they spoke of what they knew

235
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 6: at that time, and the beats represented that particular period

236
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 6: of time. Now fast forward to this day, you get

237
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff that's on the radio, but it

238
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 6: doesn't reflect growth and development or enlightenment, you see. And

239
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 6: there's no offense to them brothers because I don't do music.

240
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I do people. I do human beings. You know what

241
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

242
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 6: I could give a rabbit's ass about where you're from,

243
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 6: where you come from, and I'm definitely look at me closely.

244
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 6: I'm definitely not interested in your tough guy story. I

245
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 6: done ran with the Tony Bogars, the baby gangsters, the

246
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 6: whole gamut of real live brothers that accepted the challenge

247
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 6: to change, and I came out of old folksome level four.

248
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: I was in corkorand four house in Solano's Level four.

249
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 6: Old folksome up there in them yards with them brothers,

250
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 6: enlightening from them two twelves, that that blue note, that BGF.

251
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Car, stuff that you don't know nothing about.

252
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 6: So to all you youngsters out there thinking that this

253
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 6: is a tourist attraction and you're a tourists, then white

254
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 6: folks got something for you mine. So if you're not

255
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 6: familiar with the eat to E ratios, you know, your

256
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 6: earnings versus your economic income or the ETE ratio when

257
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 6: it comes to to like, for example, white people, for

258
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: every fifty dollars that we spend, they spend two hundred

259
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 6: on education. You know, see what I'm saying, so you

260
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 6: got to know the ratios in your own biological existence

261
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 6: and know to draw the line, because they say, what

262
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 6: is knowledge. Knowledge is to know the ledge of something

263
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 6: before you fall off. So today's youngsters, man, they just

264
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 6: need to be put in the right direction, because it's

265
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: really the crips and bloods and the lad a lot

266
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 6: of fuck with them all f thirteen's eight teen streets.

267
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 6: We done did pieces with them. I done did pieces

Speaker 6: hot Dog and them when the ventished shows name a

270
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 6: Negro or successful world worship, did eat Deity in Los

271
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 6: angles and not unfucked with them name of neighborhood because

272
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 6: there's no fear. I walked through the valley to Shadow

273
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 6: with death and fear no evil. I sold two thousand

274
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 6: gallons of PCP. My body burnt up from selling water.

275
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 6: I'm not no spring chicken. I just love black people

276
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 6: and poor people. Don't get it twisted. I was a

277
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 6: d number. I just happened to be the type of

278
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 6: nigga that got good hair and don't care about nothing.

279
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: But poor folks.

280
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 6: Because madea's at the bus stop shitting on herself. So

281
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 6: when they get to talking up. That's why I came

282
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 6: onto this show, because this show will saving more lives

283
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 6: and a cure for cancer.

284
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: So when I come on that, I wanted to.

285
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 6: Let the record reflect that his brothers out there like us.

286
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 6: That's really pushing the line. In Los Angeles, everything is

287
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 6: not foolishness and bullshit.

288
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: And that's what we tend to stray away from.

289
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I think.

290
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: The youth, you know, as far as the communities, the neighborhoods,

291
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: it's hard to try to reach, you know what I'm saying,

292
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: when the when the mind is young, my fascinating and

293
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: I don't even want to call it a fascination with

294
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: you know, claiming the hood.

295
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I grew up a normal kid.

296
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: In the beginning, I thought, I did you know, uh,

297
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: like I said, single moms in the house. You know,

298
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: I still had a connection with my pops. You know

299
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: a lot of people say when the home is fatherless,

300
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: that's when you.

301
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Can you know.

302
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: But I think my mom did a good job up

303
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: until those adolescent years when you know, sometimes teenagers get

304
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 4: naive to shit, or even though you're in a situation

305
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 4: where you middle class, you know, we I grew up

306
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: in Compton in Spooktown.

307
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Uh, moms worked.

308
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: Me and my older sister, But it just seems like

309
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: the neighborhood.

310
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Life is that was it.

311
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: You know, you have a lot of access like still

312
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: your son played football, my son played you football, got

313
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: trainers and all of this and that. But back then, yeah,

314
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: a lot of shit was n not affordable for a

315
00:16:52,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: single parent. Walking through the neighborhoods going to sh school

316
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: as a youth, you get me. You start seeing the signs,

317
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 4: cars pull up on you going to the bus stop

318
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: to school, dudes asking you where you're from. You know,

319
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: I guess it was the thought of unity for me.

320
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: It wasn't the all the red and blue rags and whatever.

321
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: It was a shit.

322
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: It's a gang of niggas over here like me. You

323
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: feel me. I don't see no, you know, you know,

324
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 4: not too many fathers around and carrying, you know, loving

325
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: family situations, and some of them might have been good,

326
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: But growing up in the hood is was our connection

327
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: to claim the neighborhood.

328
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: You feel me.

329
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: I had no intention of trying to become something else

330
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: at that time.

331
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: All I saw was.

332
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: Selling crack on coradon or and or hanging with the homies.

333
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: That was my family connection at home, everybody was on

334
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: their own shit, you get me. My sister did her

335
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: own thing. I was over here in the hood, moms

336
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 4: was working, You get me. So I think a lot

337
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 4: of youth today are looking for that.

338
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: You get me. That unity is what a lot.

339
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: Of motherfuckers, uh uh start claiming or relatives or cousins

340
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 4: who grow up in the neighborhood and that connection and shit.

341
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: But I don't think you know, we realize what that

342
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 4: in with that what you inherit when you start claiming

343
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: the neighborhood because you gonna see some shit, You're gonna

344
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 4: see some drugs, You're gonna see some niggas dying, You're

345
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 4: gonna get caught up in some shootouts or whatever. So uh,

346
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: not having opportunities to me is what you know, It

347
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: is what get a lot of young niggas to start

348
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 4: claiming the neighborhood or growing up into the culture of it.

349
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: You get me.

350
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: And when you living in Compton Long Beach La Watts

351
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 4: at that time, when I started claiming the hood in

352
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: the middle eighties and shit in the late eighties, that's it.

353
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 4: That shit was it. It was fascinating, and you know

354
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: what I'm saying it wasn't like, oh it wasn't.

355
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: It was nothing else. What else was we supposed to do?

356
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 3: You know what's funny about you seeing that in malite?

357
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: Maybe you could speak on this. You remember before Reagan

358
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 3: got in the office, we had all these programs after

359
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: school to where you can go to the gyms, the

360
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: local gyms and play basketball. You had a lot more parks.

361
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: You see brothers outside shooting hoop. You see had more

362
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: kids playing baseball. And it is just something because I

363
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: noticed that the other day. I was talking to one

364
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: of my homies from Compton, and I said, man, you

365
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: remember when we was kids. Man, that you can go

366
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: outside and see people playing at parks. You can go

367
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 3: up to the rec center. Everybody was headed to the

368
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: rec center to play basketball. They had something going on.

369
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: They had an activity. Some brothers was even able to

370
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: get jobs once they turned sixteen. I remember I couldn't wait.

371
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: I used to be on my mama's ass to fill

372
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: out my little paperwork to get a summer job. Right

373
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: because you had a little summer job. I think it

374
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 3: might have paid you two fifty over the summer. But

375
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: she was happy that you want to bost school clothes

376
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: with that money, and it kind of gave you some

377
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: purpose when you spent your own money on something, you know,

378
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: because I always I discovered I liked things, so I

379
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: always had me a little paper route. I cut grass,

380
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: shovel snow, whatever I could do to make some money.

381
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: But I had a mission. How big of an impact

382
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: do you think that was on the hood by them

383
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: cutting them programs up?

384
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 6: Well, it was very impactful to this in the sense

385
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: that I wrote for the Los Angeles I wrote several

386
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 6: hundred articles for them, and I wrote one of many articles,

387
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: one called.

388
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: Mama, why did you move on this block?

389
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 6: And basically it was giving you a scenario in which

390
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: like a lady moved from Texas and she moved to

391
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 6: say Santa Fe and Tucker, and she don't know that

392
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 6: it's the trees is beautiful, The school system looks nice.

393
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 6: But you put your son in that gang. You understand

394
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. You put your son in that gang,

395
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: and then when they get to that neighborhood. I don't

396
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 6: like to call the little brothers in gangs. I said,

397
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 6: for the purpose of conversation, but those are escalation words

398
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 6: for the police and the system to write checks and

399
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 6: cost the right people. So when you see brothers and sisters,

400
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: that's in these communities that they enjoy dwelling in, jumping

401
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 6: off like we grew up in the area where you

402
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 6: jump off the roof onto a pissy mattress and kissing, kissing,

403
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: spinding the bottle and all that. But these kids are

404
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 6: proud to be from the tribe that they're at. So

405
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 6: if you're from Santana Block, or from Sixties, or from

406
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 6: Faties or from Compton traged New to Spook Town, you're

407
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 6: proud of that area because that's what you know. So consequently,

408
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 6: your tribe has tribal issues with other tribes because we

409
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 6: grew up under the hospeclities, these colonizers as hot Feels

410
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 6: and McCoy's, you see what I'm saying. So when you

411
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 6: get a situation like that and then you throw deprivation

412
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 6: in there and lack of education, that's why it's important

413
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 6: to know what curriculum is taught in your kid's school

414
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 6: and who is the curriculum writer. He might have been

415
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: a Confederate. So the education that we receive in the

416
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: ghetto is different. In education, they get a West of supulvita.

417
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 6: So when you see these little brothers and sisters proud

418
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 6: of their neighborhood, like he said he was proud of

419
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 6: his name.

420
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: He enjoyed it.

421
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 6: That was his peer group if he had to go

422
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 6: to jury tribe, those are the people they said, we're

423
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 6: gonna judge you by a committee of peers that you're

424
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 6: familiar with. And that's what they're talking about. So they

425
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 6: take the pride out of that, and then you throw

426
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 6: a monkey wrench of confusion into this shit, and then

427
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 6: you start taking see Ronald Reagan and Oliver northol on

428
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 6: them bought crack cocaine to the neighborhood, oh for sure. Okay,

429
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 6: with the with the contrast and that Salvadorian brothers and

430
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 6: sisters and and and and and and built their space

431
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 6: shuttle off of that. We know it's principalities and spiritual

432
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 6: wickedness and high places. But as intellectual giants, we don't

433
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 6: have time to take people through the step states and

434
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 6: degrees of how we got to where we got to.

435
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Motherfucker, you know how we got it.

436
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: You put us here through slavery, You rape, robbed and

437
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 6: murdered us. You know what you did and were not

438
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 6: pointing no finger. We still got compassion for you. So

439
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 6: this ain't no save the people show. This is to

440
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 6: let you know that there's some strong entities walking in

441
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 6: these streets that protect and respect black women, that protect

442
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: and respect the neighborhood.

443
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: Because you know, let me tell you something, big steal

444
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: a gang member.

445
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 6: Just don't kill another gang member because you killed his homie.

446
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: It's deeper than that.

447
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 6: And as intellectual spiritual giants, if we dwelt deeper into it,

448
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: and see, wait a minute, because of blood, he killed

449
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 6: that nigga, because do kill somebody black, but it's categorized

450
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 6: as he was from the hood. No, but deep in

451
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 6: your mind you saying to yourself, man, you killed my

452
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 6: nego black. So that's why Couz killed blood because that's

453
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 6: his relatives. But we're not here to have a verbal

454
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 6: gymnastics about the conditions of our people.

455
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: You know where the fuck you left us.

456
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 6: We letting you know that pressure makes the best diamond,

457
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 6: so it can shed light on directions. And you got

458
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: gatekeepers like me that's at the door that's gonna make

459
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 6: sure I support everything black because black is not a people,

460
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 6: it's a condition.

461
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 3: As deep you know, I want to ask you, man,

462
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 3: because you are very well spoken and you do make

463
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: you did mention that you've done time in the system.

464
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: How were you when you got in the system.

465
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: I was twenty one with no phonies that went in

466
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 6: there for robbing the police station.

467
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: Hold on robbing the police station.

468
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I had a famous crime that I went went

469
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 6: to prison for and in the city of Los Angeles

470
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 6: on every news channel and all that kind of cook

471
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 6: PCP and shootouts. I ran with the name of Gower.

472
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 6: I know little Chimi and fuck with him. I don't

473
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 6: fuck with with Peter Cody and John Boy and white

474
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 6: Boy Buddy and you name it.

475
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: I done ran the gamut.

476
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: You talk about that PCP, man, that's almost like the

477
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: ghetto recipe in the family tradition. Man, that recipe has

478
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: passed down like by generations. Man, And this is funny.

479
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: It don't never escape the black community.

480
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: Well you know the acronym PCP. Stance.

481
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 6: Will please consider the plot. You know what I'm saying.

482
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: I done been looped off that shit from just smelling it.

483
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 6: But I don't really want to expound on that and

484
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 6: my shortcomings because I owe the community and an enormous

485
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 6: apology I'm the negro that's responsible for our people eating

486
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 6: out the trash. I'm the person that's responsible for our

487
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 6: kids not going to school because I participated in this

488
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 6: system and these oppressors foolishness, and I take this responsibility

489
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: for what I did, and on behalf of all my

490
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 6: homies that's not here, all my homies that can't speak

491
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: for themselves, and all their sons that's growing up with fathers,

492
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 6: and to the sisters that's been disrespected. On behalf of

493
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: all of us as players the pimpster, the ones that

494
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 6: made the sexy reds to us through the experience of

495
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 6: of of of having them involved in our lives.

496
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna apologize to.

497
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 6: The young homies for teaching this gang shit on behalf

498
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 6: of the brothers that's no longer.

499
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of people feel that our

500
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: culture and our music is a part of the destruction

501
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 4: of the youth. How you see niggas still gang banging

502
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: and claiming the hoods and all that. So you feel

503
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 4: responsible for starting that foundation of showing because do you

504
00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: feel like what you did talk the youth coming up

505
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 4: that same path to do it? Because we still got

506
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 4: niggas in the hood going to pin we still got

507
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: niggas selling shirms still and dope and claiming the hood

508
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: like it's the most important thing in the world.

509
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Well, what I take responsibility for.

510
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 6: And my verbal public apology was not an individual apology based.

511
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: On my own shortcomings.

512
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 6: It was an apology based on a collective group of

513
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 6: errors that we made as black men from South Central Wise, Comton, Pomona,

514
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: and beyond Chicago, that we bid into for the purpose

515
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 6: of survival. As an individual, I'm totally cognizant of the

516
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 6: fact that we have perpetuated this, this foolishness in Sutuay

517
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 6: that has come down to our children.

518
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: I can't control that.

519
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 6: That's America's job, okay, But I can identify with the

520
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 6: fact that there are people like ourselves who know that

521
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 6: one we take responsibility for the contributions that we made.

522
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 6: If I broke Miss Johnson's window and ran when I

523
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: was little Miss Johnson, I apologized to you. If I

524
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 6: sold dope to the community, and I know that I

525
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: sold dope and a bunch of other cats sold dope

526
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 6: and they didn't get a chance to say they apologize

527
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 6: that God first into the community. That's what I'm trying

528
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: to implement because it's gonna always go see black, everybody

529
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 6: that's black, its not your brother. It's a lot of

530
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: niggas doing stuff under the stolen identity, and then they

531
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 6: blaming it on black people. We're black, but it's a

532
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 6: lot of nigga foolishness that's outside has nothing to do

533
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 6: with us, oh love. So we have to start taking

534
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 6: responsibility and separating the two entities when it comes to

535
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 6: who's doing what, because us we're real men, We're really

536
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 6: trying to help our community. So when we start making

537
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 6: these apologies collectively as individuals and then taking responsibility for

538
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 6: the most minuscule amount of dirt that you did to

539
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 6: black people, it speaks collectively for us all. But as

540
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 6: far as the perpetuation of what's going on today, that's

541
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 6: America's problem is gentrification. See I wrote an article once

542
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: before called chemicals and Biological Weapons of mass Destruction hit

543
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 6: the Inner City to the President of the United States,

544
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 6: I wasn't talking about no bombs. I'm talking about that

545
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 6: crack cocaine, then big old pistols with them switches on there.

546
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: That HIV and that AIDS and all that shit. You

547
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying.

548
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 6: So there's a different approach when when the brother made

549
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: his record, it may not have been a direct apology

550
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: to the black community, but it was an enlightenment with

551
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 6: an apology attached because it enlightened people like myself. So

552
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 6: they'll never be a way for us to apologize for

553
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 6: the oppressor's bullshit. Like I tell a lot of youngsters,

554
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: they say, man, I live on Rosecran.

555
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 5: You do.

556
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 6: Well, who is General Rosecran? So we gotta teach our

557
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 6: children different. Oh God blood, I'm on I live on

558
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 6: Rose Grand. General Rose Grand was an oppressor. That's deep, man,

559
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: you see what I'm saying. Then they say, well, you know,

560
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 6: I drank Kor's beer with Chors, wasn't oppressor. Every oppressor

561
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 6: that was an oppressor got a beer named after them

562
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 6: on street Picco Payo. He was the first black Mexican

563
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: American a governor or something. So we have to give

564
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 6: our people different scenarios to let them know. The housing

565
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 6: projects was built by the best black architect that was

566
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 6: ever lived.

567
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: I forget his name, that built all the Hollywood shit.

568
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: A brother, that's not the stuff that they teach us.

569
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: They're not gonna teach you that They're not gonna tell

570
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 6: you who the Crenshaw family is. They're not gonna tell

571
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 6: you that the DWP is a private company not owned

572
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 6: by the state. They're not gonna tell you that. They're

573
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 6: not gonna tell you about how the black people and

574
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 6: Watts and the lad that's in the pipes underneath the water,

575
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 6: and how they got all the different gentrification going on there,

576
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 6: running the brothers out of them community.

577
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: They're not gonna tell you that.

578
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: You know what's deeper box you're seeing that, man, I

579
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: was coming from I was coming from Inglewood one day

580
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 3: and I was driving down a period with my wife

581
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: and I took a wrong turn. I was trying to

582
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: go visit one of my partners over there, and you

583
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 3: know how you turn up and the Watts, you can

584
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: get lost a little bit. I wound up on this

585
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: one street. Man. I kept driving because it wasn't no

586
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 3: way to get out I was. We had to come

587
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: to the end of the coda. Second turned around. I

588
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: saw a bunch of construction taking place, like new stuff

589
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: out there, man, Like they were building buildings over there.

590
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: And when I did go to my partner's house, that

591
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: house had been in their family for maybe two generations.

592
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: When his grandma first came from Tennessee. That's where she

593
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: bought at, right, And he was telling me, yeah, we

594
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: about to sell this some people and came over. Man,

595
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: they offered us seven hundred thousand at that time, which

596
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: is way over the value and everything. And I noticed

597
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: how they're shipping all the brothers and everybody out there

598
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: to the desert now and telling them you could take

599
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: your section. They didn go out to land cash.

600
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 4: And them caster Yeah, they tried to. I think they

601
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: tried to do something in Moreno Valley when they were

602
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: trying to tear down the projects and send everybody out

603
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: to there.

604
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: Well, what they're doing is now they're taking their land back.

605
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: That's prime real estate right there. You can see how

606
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: they cleaned up downtown. Downtown is actually a place worth visiting.

607
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: I remember when I first came to California in eighty eight,

608
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: eighty seven, it was like homeless central down there, you know, downtown.

609
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: But now you go down there, it's nice. You know,

610
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: my son got an apartment down there. Man, it's plush.

611
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: It's called gentrification.

612
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. But if you notice they shipping us out to

613
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: the desert now, buying houses from taking them from them

614
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: in some cases making them offers they can't refuse, right,

615
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: so they setting off their land man not really negotiating,

616
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: not knowledgeable about the whole process, But I said, what's

617
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: going on? So pretty soon you think about it. You

618
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: got the bounty hunters over there, You got grape streets

619
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: over there, right, all these neighborhoods man based on one location, right,

620
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: those locations may not be there in another ten years.

621
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: I think another two years, two you give it that soon.

622
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, because what happens is all the people that they're

623
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 6: running out of these areas.

624
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: Did they tear Jordan down here? They got new housing

625
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: over there. They toward criteria that you gotta get in one.

626
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 6: If your son get caught smoking weed or writing on

627
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 6: the wall being an adolescent, you're not there. And without

628
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: without even having to mention it, we know we not there.

629
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 6: It's a rap for that. Then brothers and sisters is

630
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 6: holding on and still trying to do things, my boy

631
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 6: Dow and his family, handing out food and whatnot. But

632
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 6: what happens is they move us out to these other

633
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 6: areas on the quake faults line with the earthquake line

634
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 6: is Fontana, San Bernardino that's where the earthquake the fault

635
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 6: line is, so they move us there. But by the

636
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 6: time we get to hypothetically speak in Fontana, if we

637
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 6: try to go to the next city over, Fontana then

638
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 6: called them and told them to raise the rent, so

639
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: they push us from here. Then we push out there

640
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 6: at thirteen hundred dollars a month, three bedroom, three bath,

641
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: and then the next city over, it's like, hey, the

642
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 6: Negroes is coming.

643
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: So then they raised the rent.

644
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 6: So that's what keeps our people in a perpetual homeless situation.

645
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 6: And if you're not, we'll see my crew and not

646
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 6: Daou and a bunch of other brothers. Even with Big U,

647
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 6: we went out there and bought land in Adelanto. A

648
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 6: lot of my partners from Swans. We bought land. Man

649
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 6: in the desert. Now you look up, they got the

650
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 6: bullet train coming, then they got the other train coming.

651
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: And I can show you on my phone right now

652
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 6: where a piece of land that I spent ten acres. See,

653
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 6: we have to be there's no simple solutions, big Brothers,

654
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 6: only intelligent choices. And one of the intelligent choices that

655
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 6: we have to make is to remember.

656
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: That a man with no land has no voice.

657
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 3: That's real talk. You dig.

658
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 6: And when our parents came out here from the plantation

659
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 6: and Jim Crow and all that, Grandpa got a nail

660
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 6: and a piece of wood and a plot and he

661
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 6: made something happen.

662
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: So but but it and you can put it in

663
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: the links.

664
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 6: We're gonna show where you can get land for two

665
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 6: hundred dollars down, no credit check, and buy it in

666
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 6: the desert.

667
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: We definitely need that link, brother, yes sir, because here's

668
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: what happened.

669
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna be very short withed not to be

670
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 6: a compulsive talker thinking, but I'm trying.

671
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 3: Got here. We need this information. It's important.

672
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 6: But you can get land for two hundred down, no money,

673
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 6: no credit check, no nothing. Right now, the land that

674
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 6: I spent for ten thousand for ten acres, that's nine

675
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 6: something thousand square feet. The average house is fifteen hundred

676
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 6: square feet, three bedroom, three bath, right, I can put

677
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 6: a water well on there. I can have eighteen horses

678
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 6: in some motion. All of America's wars, Israel's wars, Palestine

679
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 6: and Egypt, Africa, you name it. Everything is fought over

680
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 6: what land. Hoods has fought over what land? Cowboys and

681
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 6: Indians has fought over what land, and the only person.

682
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: That can make land is God.

683
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 6: So I'm telling young people today, don't go buy them

684
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 6: twenty six inch rims, play Boy.

685
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: You don't need no Rolex, you need a roller Dex.

686
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: But that's and I don't want to say immaturity, but

687
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 4: that's the mark of.

688
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 5: The youth and the situation of feeling important.

689
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 4: You get me if I got the rims, if I

690
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 4: got the motherfucking New Kicks, if I got the mother

691
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 4: for you know, what way do you reach the youth

692
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 4: if they've always been unreachable?

693
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: You lead by example, meaning that.

694
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 6: When you see the youth today, you don't come in

695
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 6: telling them what to do. You expound on the ideas

696
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 6: that they have because it's their turn. I'm not expecting

697
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: them to go back to the era when Foods is

698
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 6: riding up on beach cruisers with shotguns, blowing your head

699
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 6: off and riding off because they're in a different area.

700
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 6: So you gotta understand what thing about the youth today.

701
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 6: They got adult problems. They got light bills, phone bill

702
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 6: four hundred a month, Netflix bill four hundred a month.

703
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: Mama want them out the house.

704
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 6: They got grown folks bills it ain't like with me

705
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 6: and you was growing up a bowl of cereal in

706
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 6: the flinchstones and get your ass up for coming home late.

707
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 6: These kids got kiar bills, They got the rent eighteen

708
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 6: hundred a month. They got a baby at one steak

709
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 6: and the stow at vance is eighteen dollars. Let me

710
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 6: give you another perfect example. You go into Ralph Savan's

711
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 6: a superior. You see the people coming out. They add

712
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 6: of shape, they breathing hard. They fucked up.

713
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 5: On the walker.

714
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 6: They eye again, pajama pants on with the slides and

715
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 6: the shoes.

716
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: Young girls ain't getting the motown kick no more.

717
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 6: They learn how to have some dignity in practice class

718
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 6: distinction before you get on the stage. But then you

719
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 6: go to Whole Foods. Everybody got on due balance. Baby

720
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 6: right here jumping into Vovo smiling. They get brown paper

721
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 6: bags because then plastic bags is to hold all that

722
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 6: sugar that poison. You see the difference. Their mindset is different.

723
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 6: So we have to not give up hope and teach

724
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 6: our people what to do. By example, when you find

725
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 6: a dirty glass, you put a clean one beside it

726
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 6: to give them a choice, because we're gonna need that army,

727
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 6: your snotty.

728
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: Nose, trevoring in with them knuckles we need them, we

729
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: need them.

730
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 6: But if you look at that research that that Jewish

731
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: woman said it in front of their council the other day.

732
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 6: She said, the biggest threat to Israel and I got

733
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 6: a gang of Jewish brothers and sisters that disagree with this.

734
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: She said, the biggest threat to America to.

735
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 6: Israel is not a moss it is not Al Qaeda,

736
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 6: it ain't it ain't COVID. It is the young black

737
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 6: people in America. Look it up.

738
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: And she was in Burbank. She was in Israel's at

739
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: a council.

740
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 6: Where they got intellectual giants, social scientists, and that woman

741
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 6: stood up and you can google it right now and said,

742
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 6: the biggest threat to the state of to the country

743
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 6: of Israel, the state of Israel. People that we support

744
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 6: is us. You know why, because you've you busting that

745
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 6: window in Beverly Hills. They say you're doing home invasions,

746
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 6: you're snatching chains, because you're messing with their well being.

747
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: That's why we have to teach our children to eat to.

748
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 6: Eat ratios, economics versus earnings, education versus entertainment, and if

749
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 6: you don't give them a ratio. There's no common denominator

750
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 6: from the georg extrapolator draw from.

751
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 3: M You know what I see as the common denominator, Man,

752
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: it's poverty when you don't give a person a choice

753
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: or make them feel hopeless, and they have a feeling

754
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: of hopelessness.

755
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because's got excess.

756
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: Everybody don't have the mentality to.

757
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 5: Blunt change exact.

758
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: It's when you pour eight you can't see nothing. I remember,

759
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 3: I grew up on the east side of Cleveland, and

760
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 3: like you made a comment about La, La is very deceptive.

761
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: You got the palm trees. It's actually nice when you

762
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: come here. If you look at the average street in

763
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: South Central, it's a nice community compared to somewhere in Cleveland,

764
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: where you got a bunch of dirt plots, empty apartment

765
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 3: buildings with the windows boarded up, and then you no

766
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: bottles stuck in the ground. It's just different than my

767
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 3: right beat. It's a little different because you can see

768
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: the property right there, right. I had friends that would

769
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 3: stay in the apartment buildings, them abandoned buildings, they whole families,

770
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 3: extension cord out the window, going to the going to

771
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 3: the pole, and they in there just like they're supposed

772
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 3: to be there. All right, homie, I'll see you later,

773
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: he jumping off, moving the board.

774
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 5: And going on there is still crazy when.

775
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: You have it's the truth. I'm just being real, dug.

776
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 5: When you have no bullshit and you being.

777
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 3: You hopeless bro, and you don't have no money. And

778
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: this dude around the counter, man, your mama seeing you

779
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: there because she got a line of credit at the

780
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 3: liquor store a dog. And you'd see him open up

781
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: that door and lift that little tray up and he

782
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 3: got all the little bundles, and you get that thought

783
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 3: in your head. Man, my stomach growling, Man, my mama,

784
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 3: don't send me up here with this, you know, to

00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 3: get two dollars worth of blooney and the slice of

786
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: you know, some loaf of bread.

787
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: Hard times make bad choices, and.

788
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 3: You going there.

789
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 5: Man.

790
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: I remember the first time my book Somebody Dog, it

791
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 3: was because I was hungry and I got away with it.

792
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: So it made me go book Somebody again. And if

793
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: those didn't know, no booking is robbing. Somebody made me

794
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: go back.

795
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: Again and again and again to.

796
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: The man at the Delhi around the corner. His employee

797
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: called the police and they pulled up to my mama's house.

798
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 3: I remember they pulled up there like yesterday and they

799
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: said that, okay, which one of these kids is. I

800
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 3: was out there with my friends. Guess what he was

801
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: doing eating? We wouldn't. I wasn't stealing money. I was

802
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: stealing food, right, We out there eating, all me and homies,

803
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: just a big pile here. Y'all want something?

804
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: You want something?

805
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: We eating? Dude looked at me and said, no, what was

806
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: none of them? And he knew you know why, because

807
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 3: he knew my mama. And I thank God for that dude,

808
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: because if I would have winter, I'd have become indoctrinated

809
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: in the system at that time. If that dude shout

810
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: out to the homie Nick next Daily in Cleveland, he

811
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 3: gave me a break. A lot of people ain't giving

812
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 3: people passes because he understood. And he told me that day,

813
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: he said, listen, you know how they call you my friend,

814
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: my friend while you steal from me. I tried to

815
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: help you. I was poor too. You have to work,

816
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 3: and he gave me a job. Man. That was my

817
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: first job I had. I was in charge of the

818
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 3: that's when they had the pack man machines that went crazy,

819
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: you know packed man, you know the video games. I

820
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 3: was in charge of that little area, making sure it

821
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 3: didn't nobody else steal. I was sure like the pop bottles.

822
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 3: You know, pop bottles used to be a lot of money.

823
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 3: Had to spray the pop bottles down and sweep the store.

824
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: I got fired. I was a week dog, but it

825
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: gave me a sense of pride to where I learned.

826
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, man, it's way easier and

827
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: you feel better about yourself when you go earn something

828
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 3: for that. And I was stacked my money up and

829
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 3: I've always been that way since then. Unfortunately, my hustle

830
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: turned other things as I got you know when that

831
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: crack came, because you know, you saw the homies that

832
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: was fifteen buying cars and they was coming in them

833
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: fresh new Jordan's and all that stuff. You know, So

834
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 3: it changed a little bit later on. But we have

835
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: to create opportunities for our youth today, man, because if

836
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: we don't, all we could do all the talking in

837
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 3: the world and showing. But as long as they got

838
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 3: them Honger pains in their stomach and they feel hopeless, bro,

839
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 3: we go keep countil we go see a pattern of

840
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 3: the same shit going on and on again is repeating itself.

841
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: Do you attribute all the snatching and grabbing from the

842
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 4: stores and all the high extensive shit, do you attribute

843
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: that to honger pains or do you attribute that to

844
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 4: the fad of today?

845
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 3: A lot of that is just greed, I believe man,

846
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: And you know what, it's still hunger pains because and

847
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you talk about it. I'm gonna let

848
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: you say laying on this in a minute. But what

849
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: I see today with the kids, right and I don't

850
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: want to turn this into a thing where we talk

851
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: about the youth of the day, because they're not too

852
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 3: differ than what we was, right, But but what we

853
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 3: didn't have eight We didn't have these illusions of grandeur

854
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: on the television screen. Because these kids sit at home

855
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: and they look at their phones. Right now, information is

856
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: more accessible than this ever been in the history of

857
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: the human race. Probably right now you can literally go

858
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: in something, type in something in Google and it's gonna

859
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: give you the information. But that's not They not going

860
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 3: to go seek the knowledge that he's talking about. They

861
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 3: going there and they look at you know, not just

862
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 3: the music videos, but the movies, and they see these

863
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 3: brothers just balling, and it's a similar situation to how

864
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: it was when we grew up, except we saw the

865
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: dude in the corner, on the corner exactly like on

866
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 3: these but this time it's just ten times bigger, like

867
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 3: it's magnified a million times bigger, because now it's a

868
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: dude pulling up in the Rose Royce. He got a

869
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: bunch of jewelry on he got this. They want that.

870
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: They don't even want to skip to the point and

871
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 3: just getting the meal that.

872
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 4: I saw the hard work or too. My mom went

873
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 4: to work every day. My father went worked at General

874
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: Motors till he died.

875
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 5: But was that a hard worker?

876
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: But no.

877
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 4: And you know we was middle class. Like I said,

878
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 4: I grew up on Johnson Street. We wasn't rich, you

879
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 4: get me. We didn't have a fancy car and none

880
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 4: of that ship. But I saw the hard worker everybody,

881
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 4: you get me. My family, my mom's in them.

882
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: They came from.

883
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 4: Guffport, Mississippi. They had the hard work mentality hard I

884
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 4: saw the nigga down the street on Dayton's That's what

885
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 4: I'm the fucking center lines, the Nissangan trucks, the bugs

Speaker 3: Page ron with a beeper on, a nutfull of money

888
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 3: in this thing and a bad bitch.

889
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: That that is what attracted me to like.

890
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 4: And then yeah, I saw the hard struggle of moms

891
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: working nine to five every day and still at the

892
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 4: end of the day, shit was hard to pay man

893
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 4: all that thirding that she was doing. We living in

894
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 4: motherfucking Cerritos or Baldwin fucking he.

895
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 3: So you look at that as a waste of time.

896
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 4: Almost We we living in the block in Compton with

897

909
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: I call them optical illusions. I ain't just gonna say

913
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. It's an illusion, right. These kids

914
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 3: see these illusions, man, and they're impatient. They don't want

915
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: a way. You could tell it, kid, well, if you

916
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 3: work hard, maybe one day. No, they want it right now.

917
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: Instant gratification they want. We are in the age of

918
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: instant gratification. I believe it started with the microwave of

919
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: in the moment, man, because I remember I put a

920
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 3: burrita on the other and I had three hours. You're done.

921
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 3: I've been on start to death. You know, the little

922
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: cheap ass frozen burritos. You'll wait three hours for that motherfucker.

923
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 3: Later on, it was a minute later. You got your thing,

924
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 3: and then they put the drive throughs in the restaurant.

925
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 3: Can I take your order? They want that motherfucking shit

926
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 3: right now, dog, They want it right now, not yesterday,

927
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 3: not tomorrow, but right now.

928
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 6: Well, you're absolutely right on two fronts. And you guys

929
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 6: made some very valid points. Of course, we were raised

930
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 6: by OG's and not ig That's the first thing, definitely,

931
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 6: And the second thing is sometimes we have to really

932
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 6: point the finger at the hidden hand, the person that

933
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 6: hitting and hide the hand. And some of the problems

934
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 6: of black people today coming from the greatness that we

935
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 6: came because they only talk to us about our shortcoming, slavery,

936
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 6: getting your ass. Well, we took your shit, but our

937
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 6: history and our greatness supersedes civilization.

938
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: You know.

939
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 6: After God, then he put us. Then he put the sun, moon,

940
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 6: the stars and told him to bow down to the

941
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 6: black man. So because our children know that something deep

942
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 6: in their psyche tells them that they're royal, that they

943
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 6: deserve better, that they've been robbed, that that's your shit

944
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 6: that you know you can't get to it at the

945
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 6: homie down the block balling. It's deep in your fucking

946
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 6: psyche that's telling you. I'm not supposed to be poor,

947
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 6: because poverty is They say in the Koran that poverty

948
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 6: is worse than death. It's best to murder man than

949
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 6: to leave them in poverty. You dig, you know what

950
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So when you get these type of situations

951
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 6: where these kids is sitting back and they saying, my

952
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 6: daddy died, defeated, my grandma died, defeated. But Bob and

953
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 6: Bobby Hills High School. That punk motherfucker, he don't do shit,

954
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 6: he got everything. Fuck it, I'm a rebel like the slaves.

955
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 6: They would not turn it. So that's a rebellion. That's

956
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 6: America's fault. That's Biden's fault. Biden, you should have never

957
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 6: locked up. They daddy you and Bill Clinton with three strikes.

958
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris, you still got some of my homies doing

959
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 6: seventy five years of life in the Feds right now,

960
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 6: where you're up there smiling with that motherfucker oppressor and

961
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 6: our people dying on their feet. Okay, So we can't

962
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 6: just look at the kids, because the kids are the

963
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 6: one they gonna throw out there to say that's the problem.

964
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: See they did that.

965
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 6: They bust the window. Motherfucker. Do you know that that

966
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 6: sign that they got from Findy come from an African tribe?

967
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: Mmm?

968
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 6: Did you know them signs that they got for the most,

969
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 6: the biggest designer clothes they got, all them symbols come

970
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 6: either from an Indian or African tribe. You got Africans

971
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 6: with finny cutting, they face with razor.

972
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 3: We don't know that information, man, we don't have It's

973
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 3: like we don't have access to a lot of that

974
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: information to tell these kids they lineage because like you say,

975
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 3: all we hear about is the slavery, right, all we

976
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 3: hear about is the slavery. And they don't project positive

977
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 3: black images. Man, I'm gonna tell you aighten, you know this.

978
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 3: That's why I always act like I'm somebody's father when

979
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm up here. You don't never see me doing a

980
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 3: while now. And it's been to our detriment kind of

981
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 3: that we choose not to do the bullshit, right.

982
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: Definitely, you know it's been. You know, we can go.

983
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 3: We could probably make ten times more money man, by

984
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 3: doing the crazy, the silly shit. But I refuse to

985
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, I have some

986
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 3: individuals walking around the world my last name, he got

987
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 3: individuals walking around wearing his last name. The last thing

988
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 3: I would want somebody to do is man, that show daddy.

989
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 4: I just you know, we are looked at already as

990
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 4: in a negative light, especially when you come from the

991
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 4: walks of life we come from. It's my reason for

992
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 4: trying to be somewhat intelligent, articulate when you speak and

993
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 4: you answer questions, and you don't get involved with what's

994
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 4: popularized today as far as the internet and content and

995
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 4: the crazy shit, because like I said, we already looked

996
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 4: at as as on the on the wrong side of

997
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 4: the fence. So you gotta be able to show motherfuckers

998
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 4: that even though you come from that side of the tracks,

999
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 4: your your, your, your, your maturity shows that you know

1000
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 4: you can be able to avoid certain conflicts and mess

1001
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 4: and show people that we're not just the ignorant negroes

1002
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 4: that the paint the picture is painted.

1003
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: You get me.

1004
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 4: You niggas came from poverty and gang banging and selling

1005
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 4: drugs and whatever. Y'all should be involved with what you know.

1006
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 4: A lot of motherfuckers like to see the downfall of

1007
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: the black man. And the problem is a lot of

1008
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 4: it is a is a same color.

1009
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: You get me.

1010
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 4: I had to tell my homeboy one time because he

1011
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: likes watching the shows where you know, the bitches be

1012
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 4: fighting and the conflict and it's always shit cracking, and

1013
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,479
Speaker 4: and I'll be like, why are you interested in shit

1014
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 4: like that?

1015
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 5: Oh man, it's just so funny.

1016
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 4: And this Joe, you know, so and so got they

1017
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 4: ass whooped, and then these motherfuckers start fighting and won't

1018
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 4: you won't? I said, that's why motherfuckers put them shows

1019
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: on TV, because they sit up and go niggas of

1020
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 4: seeing niggas in bullshit.

1021
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 3: All the time, man and us painted in the most

1022
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 3: foolish light possible. This question for you, Malique, kind of

1023
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 3: maybe you can help me expound on this a little bit, right.

1024
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: I think I was talking to you eight and I

1025
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 3: noticed that with us as black men, right, I've noticed

1026
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: EAX generation seems like they're doing a little bit better

1027
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 3: than the previous, but not really because when you looked

1028
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 3: at a brother that was a certain age. If you

1029
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: looked at a brother in nineteen seventy five that was

1030
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 3: thirty years old, he carried itself a certain way. Right.

1031
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 3: It's like sometimes it's almost like our growth is stunning,

1032
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 3: because I see some of these brothers online and just

1033
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 3: some of these brothers in the streets. You know, they

1034
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 3: may be fifty years old, bro, but they got the

1035
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 3: mentality of like a sixteen year old. What do you

1036
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 3: attribute that to? It's like our growth has been stunned Somewhere.

1037
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 3: I see some of these brothers. And some of these

1038
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 3: brothers are guys that make pretty good livings, but they

1039
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 3: yet like fools.

1040
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 6: Well that's called buck breaking, and it's been around since

1041
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 6: the beginning of time. You see a decade car has

1042
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 6: got a king, a queen, the ace of spades, the joker.

1043
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 6: What position do you play amongst our people? You got

1044
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 6: a lot of jokers, You got a lot of queens,

1045
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 6: you got a lot of jacks.

1046
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: What position do you see? I play chess, but I.

1047
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 6: Play chess with all pawns on the table because I

1048
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 6: don't have time to play no games, and then I

1049
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 6: don't need no clock. So when you're dealing with a

1050
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 6: situation where you got brothers personifying that type of imagery

1051
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 6: and then coming back influencing our youth, that's by design.

1052
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 6: That's America. America never cleaned up the image of black people.

1053
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 6: They never gave them the two for example, and not

1054
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 6: to cut your wisdom, Wall Street, the most positive thing

1055
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 6: could have ever happened. But somehow or another, they infused

1056
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 6: some bullshit in there and fucked them off.

1057
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: The crips and bloods.

1058
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 6: They started out as something to protect Spook down from

1059
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 6: the white gangs. That was up in Huntington Beach called

1060
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 6: the Dirty Draws gang. See the first gang injunction was

1061
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 6: put on a Dirty Draws gang in Huntington Beach. A

1062
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 6: white child and no pun intended. But I speak from

1063
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 6: where I am. A white child walking down mail Rose,

1064
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 6: sagging with his pants hanging down, earrings.

1065
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: Over in tattoos. He's an aspiring rock star.

1066
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 6: But little Pooky local Pole ain't got no best but

1067
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 6: western surfplus clothes on shoes toward walking down Mailrose. He

1068
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 6: considered a gang bang of trying to steal something. When

1069
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 6: college's kids go in college at USC and USLA and

1070
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 6: they get drunk and drown their homeboy and all that,

1071
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 6: they have a safety net for them. But when Pooky

1072
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 6: get killed shot up at a party, he's going to

1073
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 6: the penitentiary. When the little Caucasian or oppressor shoot up

1074
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 6: a school, they always go and say, well, he was

1075
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 6: a good kid, and he always handcuffed in the front

1076
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 6: and they take him to McDonald's.

1077
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: But when little POOKI get in some trouble, his.

1078
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 6: Head slammed in the back of the car, his arms

1079
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 6: up like this, and they go take his brother and

1080
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 6: put him in the hole in the penitentiary and cut

1081
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 6: his mama ran off and cut him out the projects.

1082
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 6: You have to know systemically what's going on. There's no

1083
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 6: when you point one finger people, there's always four point

1084
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 6: at you. And our youth today have been misguided and

1085
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 6: it's just like a train at Christmas.

1086
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: You just learning how to work it.

1087
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 6: But then if you learn the centered on the track

1088
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 6: right and go a little bit slow and give just

1089
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 6: a little bit less juice, you can turn them corners.

1090
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: They just need a little bit more guidance.

1091
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 6: You got to teach him about people like George Soros, SoRs,

1092
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 6: who funds Black Lives matters, who funds the destruction of

1093
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 6: human beings, who's alive today. You have to teach him

1094
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 6: about cats like Epstein who forget him trying to have

1095
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 6: sex with young girls, You nasty bastard. But what about

1096
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 6: the Virgin Island suing you because of all the biological

1097
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 6: experiments that you were doing on black children and in

1098
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 6: Africa and the Virgin.

1099
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: And all them subsidiaries you set up.

1100
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 6: And what about your boy up there at the top,

1101
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 6: Mel Gibson, who's talking about whoop the whoopede woop is

1102
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 6: eating and having sex with babies and YadA YadA, YadA YadA.

1103
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 6: But then you turn around and they blame it on

1104
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 6: R Kelly and Pete Diddy.

1105
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: What is it? So you're saying shit rolls downhill, take

1106
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: the light off of them.

1107
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 3: But you go to camera too, say you know what

1108
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 3: that is to Malie. The chickens are coming home the

1109
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: roofs right now. A lot of these brothers like Diddy

1110
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 3: and not to get all into this stuff, but they

1111
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 3: thought they had a seat at the table at one time,

1112
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 3: and they are about to take the brunt of a

1113
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: lot of this stuff or either come up missing.

1114
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: Problem, beloved. I think it's more like we all been

1115
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: in the game. Yah, yeah, you have you have. The

1116
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: game will send you a bill.

1117
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 6: Like for me, only dated wealthy women for a long

1118
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 6: time because I sold black dick to Bary Black babies.

1119
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: That's the name of one of my books.

1120
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 6: Because every time I go turn the trick with old

1121
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 6: white bitch, I got to go get Shaquita some money because.

1122
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: Her son got killed. So I'm a whole you see

1123
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

1124
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 6: So my point is is that the game sends you

1125
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 6: a bill if you a player in the streets and

1126
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 6: you don't play bitches. Now you stuck in the last

1127
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 6: part of your life with a square bitch you can't stand.

1128
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 6: The game sends you a bill, Puffy, the game to

1129
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 6: send you a bill, pay it.

1130
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: The game sends everybody a bill. And last, but not least.

1131
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 6: And I reflect back to eight because I played his show,

1132
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 6: his radio stuff on the radio, his music. He was

1133
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 6: the first East Coast West coast prelude, we should have

1134
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 6: stopped it. Then he was the first one to try

1135
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 6: to with the DJ Quick and all that. If you

1136
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 6: think about it, that man went through hell trying to

1137
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 6: show that he can coexist with other people, trying to

1138
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 6: represent his tribe. Because back then you weren't able to

1139
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 6: just be crippled blood and just get away with it.

1140
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 6: Wasn't no cakewalks. Your motherfucking ass better be bout it

Speaker 6: about it. They culture in that uniform, You about it

00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 6: about it. So my point is this, I salute you.

1143
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 6: That's why I drove over here for sure, And I

1144

Speaker 6: salute you, and I salute the owner of this coin

1145
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 6: studio because he stayed down with black people and poor people.

1146
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 6: The owner of the studio, I assume is either Native

1147
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 6: American or Caucasian, and I ain't never seen him around

1148
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 6: nobody but black people.

1149
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:42,320

00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 3: Macca is a brother from out the ben the Pennanty.

1154
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 3: We would have him on the show. Actually, I wish

00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 3: you could have met him. Man, Macca is one of

1156
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 3: the most incredible individuals I've ever met in my life.

1157
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: That changed his circumstances. Man, and to fight the lass.

1158
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,480

Speaker 3: he got. He got some incredible stuff cracking man and

1160
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: brother actually invented the app. Not to get too.

1161
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Far the thing.

1162
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 3: Brother actually and took the same walks of life that

1163
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 3: we didea. It took the same walk of life that

1164
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 3: we did.

1165
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 6: He was you know why because the cream always rises

1166
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 6: to the topic. Still sure and pressure makes the best diamond.

1167
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 6: So it could shed light in all directions.

1168
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 3: Hey, man, you know, I want to ask you something, Man,

1169
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 3: when we talk about positive black images, Man, you had

1170
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: a show on A and E. Why didn't they continue

1171
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 3: doing that? Because this is the stuff that people need

1172
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 3: to hear.

1173
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 6: Because black unity and unity of poor people is a crime.

1174
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 6: You can find Kitty Porno. You can find black on

1175
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 6: black murders getting killed on selfie while you're on your

Speaker 6: piece maker la gang war segment on there.

1178
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Unity of black people is a crime.

1179
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 6: That's why you don't hear no public enemy no more

1180
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 6: in music of that nature, because anything that's gonna enlighten

1181
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 6: the masses goes against what they want.

1182
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: You done. Have been in the meetings, they tell you, look,

1183
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: we need some shoot them up bang bang music. But

1184
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: can I tell you this quick story, real fast.

1185
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh you got man, you man, you do your thing.

1186
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 6: Brother, I was in the pen. I was in the

1187
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 6: county jail, and a brother walked by. He was on

1188
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 6: his way to death row. He was a crip. I

1189
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 6: vaguely remember where he was from, but he was on

1190
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 6: swollen and I was a trustee in the hallway. And

1191
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 6: when the man walking, they yelled, the dead man walking,

1192
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 6: he's supposed to turn around. But because I worked up

1193
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 6: in high power, because I already had a high power

1194
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 6: K seventeen fifty for youngsters that don't know about that

1195
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 6: red wristband, you'll learn keep fucking around.

1196
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: The brother stopped and he said Malik, can I tell

1197
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: you a story?

1198
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 6: Now, mind, you're not supposed to talk to these people,

1199
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 6: but the deputies let them stop. He said, tell you

1200
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 6: a story to three minds. And I told the story

1201
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 6: that Jesse Jackson and my Nigga c Bone from five

1202
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 6: Dues Broadway bear witness that this is the truth.

1203
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: He said. I was in the store once before, and

1204
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: they sold mines.

1205
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 6: They had the White Mind, the Chinese Mind, and the

1206
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 6: Black Mind, and he.

1207
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Said, Malik.

1208
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 6: I walked in the store and I asked the man

1209
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 6: how much you want for the White Mind. He said, oh,

1210
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 6: for that one, Malik, I'll take a million dollars. I said, well,

1211
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 6: that's relativity inexpensive. Being at the White Mind invented the Constitution,

1212
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 6: got a lot of history uneath they belt. So I

1213
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 6: shopped some more in this store, and I ran across

1214
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 6: the section that sold the Chinese Mind. So I asked

1215
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 6: the man in the store. I said, excuse me, sir,

1216
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 6: what do you want for the Chinese Mind? He said, oh,

1217
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 6: for Malik, for that one, I'll take two million dollars.

1218
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 6: I said, well, that's relatively inexpensive. Being at the Chinese

1219
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 6: event at the art of war, gunpowder stings of that nature.

1220
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 6: So I shopped some more in this store, and I

1221
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 6: ran across the section that sold the black and brown mind.

1222
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 6: So I asked the man in the stower preferable be speaking.

1223
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 6: I wanted to get a black one because it fit

1224
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 6: better for me. I said, I what you want for

1225
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 6: that black mind? He said, oh, my leak for that one.

1226
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 3: For that leak, I'll.

1227
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Take twenty five million dollars.

1228
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 6: I said, you want a million for the white mine

1229
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 6: and their endeavor, two million for the Chinese mind and

1230
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 6: their endeavors and contributions. Why do you want so much

1231
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 6: for the black mind? He said, because the black mind

1232
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 6: hasn't been used as still in the box. Oh my god,

1233
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 6: mind is a terrible thing to waste. The game Gonna

1234
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 6: send you a bill.

1235
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that's what we're seeing now? Man? Retribution?

1236
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 3: Right now you've seen? Is this a lot of people

1237
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 3: that got healed to pay?

1238
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 6: Man, We are in the waiting room of the hereafter

1239
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 6: as black people and oppressed people, and we are here

1240
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 6: to usher in the fall of oppressures.

1241
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: That's it.

1242
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 6: God, First, family, and whatever you do, do not surrender

01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Exercise it you are American.

1246
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 6: You built the fork, the game of Chess, the street light,

1247
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 6: real quick.

1248
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: There was three people.

1249
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 6: Ford, Motor Dude, mister Diesel, and there was mister Carver.

1250
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 6: Mister Carver made all the body parts for the car,

1251
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 6: the body, the stick shift. He got one hundred and

1252
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 6: fifty thousand. I think a little bit of studies that

1253
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 6: they use some of his shit in NASA right now,

1254
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 6: going plants. Then mister Ford he built the engine. See

1255
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 6: Ford and Diesel and Carver the peanut man was all friends.

1256
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 6: And then mister Diesel built the diesel part of the engine.

1257
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 6: But the stick shift, steering wheel, the cheap pad that

1258
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 6: you use for your computer was invented by a black man.

1259
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 6: The super soaker. Well, he invented the battery for the

1260
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 6: PRIs that you drive today. He lives in Atlanta. The

1261
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 6: Game of Chess, the street light. The brother who invented

1262
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 6: the heart transplant, of the blood transfusion that died because

1263
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 6: he couldn't go to a Caucasian hospital when he.

1264
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Died of a heart issue.

1265
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 3: Ain't that deep man?

1266
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 6: The black man who invented the defibrillator. What contributions. Pressure

1267
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 6: makes the best diamondsaur can shed light in all direction.

1268
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: The game gonna shind you a bill. Man.

1269
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,919
Speaker 3: You know, I thoroughly enjoyed having you won, hear man,

1270
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: that's indeed, And I'm a holler at you later on, man,

1271
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 3: because yes, that you deliver, man, is what is needed

1272
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 3: right now, because me being a person that's in media

1273
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 3: right now, man, I get kind of like, I get

1274
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 3: really disgusted with a lot of the stuff that's out

1275
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 3: there right now. Man. And it's like, the more ignorance

1276
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 3: you are, the more you seem to be rewarded.

1277
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Exactly.

1278
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 6: But that's good because the more ignorant you are, the

1279
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 6: more the game gonna send you a bigger bill. Let

1280
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 6: them do what they do. Every atom do what it's

1281
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 6: supposed to do at his.

1282
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: A point in time. Nothing happens. Coincidentally, you let them

1283
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: do what they do. You just do what you do.

1284
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 6: You do what you do because they can't stop this frequency.

1285
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 6: If they could, they would. So when you get these,

1286
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 6: I call it the circus. Just look at the circus.

1287
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 6: Don't let it affect you. Y'all keep pushing this. That's

1288
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 6: what's important. Everything else is a distruction. I say it

1289
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 6: every time. We don't need to get caught up and

1290
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 6: all that. That's all verbal gymnastics and and and and

1291
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 6: and lip and tongue wrestling and and and verbal and

1292
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 6: mental gymnastics. Suspend yourself in the space darted from to

1293
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 6: infinity and think bigger. Example, Opressa sitting look at this

1294
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,919
Speaker 6: at the sun. Negro sitting look at the sun. I'm like, damn,

1295
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 6: it's hot. But got Opressa look at that sun and said, damn,

1296
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 6: I need to extrapolate some nuclear power from it. When

1297
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 6: the when NASA went to Africa, we of them countries

1298
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 6: and seeing our ancestors sitting on the mountain. They were

1299
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 6: sitting up on the mountain. They've been sitting there for

1300
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 6: about fifty thousand years. And NASA scientists walked up and said, hey,

1301
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 6: what are y'all looking at the star?

1302
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Serious? You know, serious like.

1303
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 6: The The ancestor turned to him and said, no, we're

1304
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 6: looking at the shadow star behind.

1305
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: Serious with their naked eye.

1306
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 3: That's deep. Man.

1307
01:07:54,240 --> 01:08:02,959
Speaker 6: They got NASA high tech equipment and they barely see serious.

1308
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 6: Our ancestors sitting there smoking that weed. They told a

1309
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 6: white man, we ain't looking as serious. Were looking at

1310
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 6: the shadow behind.

1311
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 3: Him, drop the mic and walk on. That's it, and
