We 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: figured it'd be a little bit more impactful that way 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: if we drop it there today, we're gonna be talking 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: about the heel turn as it were for ice Cube 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: and fifty Cent, as they both caused a little bit 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: of a stir last week by endorsing or at least 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: expressing a willingness to work with the Trump administration on 39 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: things A lot of people were mad about it, a 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: lot of people had a lot to say, and we're 41 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: going to talk about it. We're also going to talk 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: about the role the black celebrities playing the right wings 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: efforts to peel Black voters. Will also have a music 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: discussion as well. I gotta push back a little bit 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: on the framing that right wing are trying to peel 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: Black voters, because I know that we do sort sort 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: of vote as like a democratic black but if you 48 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: can only vote for one party, are truly free. I'm 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: not talking about voters from where just assumed democratic monolith. 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: We'll not even peel black voters, but peel and suppress 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: Black voters. Like, Yeah, the suppression attempts are interesting and 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: concerning for sure. I mean I feel like I feel 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: like a part of political organizing is making connections with 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: titan ces on racial class, union membership, gender identity, sexuality, lines, 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: immigration status, and so they're just connecting with some people 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: that they perceive, even if in factually to be their 57 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: base in the sense of like men love Trump, Black 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: men love Trump. Unemployment numbers went up under Obama, which 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: they love to tout, and so like black the you know, 60 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: black people have done better under Trump than anyone else. 61 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: They just think they're just connecting with black people because 62 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: they don't see why black people wouldn't vote for them. 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm in no way coming from it from like a 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: standpoint of black people aren't allowed to be right wing 65 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: or aren't allowed to vote Trump right right wing or 66 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, so we've talked, but we've talked previously 67 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: in this show about the right wing technancies of hip hop, 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: and that though we has left us try to sort 69 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: of like look at the policy connections to hip hop 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: from someone of a US of lens. There is ultimately, 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: like with regards to the Second Amendment, with regards to 72 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: like gender roles, with regards to xenophobia and homophobia, a 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: very much conservative strain through line in a lot of 74 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: mainstream hip hop in particular. And so I think to 75 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: sort of make this this, I think the recent controversies 76 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: around public black figures like ice Cube, UM, I hope 77 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: they illuminate that connection. And I'm happy about two and 78 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: especially in the fifty cent situation has but you know what, 79 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: like that's what we're gonna get into it today. So um, 80 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: let's actually fill everybody in on the whole on the 81 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: whole topic. Over the last weekend, some change hip hop 82 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: artists ice Cube Famous Rapper both made the headlines when 83 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: they each respectively endorsed or express approval of the Trump 84 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: administration's policy, specifically in the form of tax and the 85 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: Black Agenda. For ice Cube, now, last week the Trump campaign, 86 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: a Trump campaign official, seemingly out of the blue, thanked 87 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Ice Cube for helping with the Trump administration or being 88 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: at least being open to working with them on implementing 89 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: the rappers proposed Contract with Black America. And I just 90 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: honestly feel like this is a massive failure of the 91 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Biden campaign, which I think has advertisements on the show. 92 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be real, because like if you had offered, 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: if you had offered reparations, if you had offered a 94 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: federal job guarantee, if you had offered like reverse redlining, 95 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: or like assuming this package to the form of community 96 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: development block grants to black communities, like people there, this 97 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened. Well, there's more to this, there's more 98 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: to the story. It wouldn't have to get that out 99 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: of the way because me off so ice Cube put 100 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: out the c w b A, the Contract with Black 101 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: America and uh for or while, you know, when this 102 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: Trump official thanked them for a little bit, people thought 103 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: that it was like a troll or a trick, and 104 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: no one was really sure what was going on. But 105 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: later on ice Cube himself confirmed it with a tweet 106 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: he said, facts, I put out the c w b A. 107 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Both parties contacted me. DEM said we'll address the c 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: w b A after the election. Trump campaign made some 109 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the 110 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: c w b A. And that's that fucking ship. I'm 111 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: so I'm so sorry because it's like, okay, we just 112 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: need your votes for now, and we promise we'll get 113 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: to this. We'll get to your issues once we win. 114 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: Like I think back to I recently finished reading We've 115 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: Got People by Ryan Grimm and which he talks about 116 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: UM during the fight for marriage equality UM and you 117 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: know during Obama uh for a selection campaign or it 118 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: might have been his re election twos, I can't remember which, 119 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: but he was like actively according LGBTQ constituency is UM 120 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: while also talking about how he believes marriages between a 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: man and a woman. He had a pastor who is 122 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: very like pro um like traditional views of marriage. I think, 123 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: like fucking speak at his swearing like you know, prey 124 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: to sparing it or some sh it, and like they 125 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: used Obama, um, like Obama saying that he believes in 126 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: civil unions but marriages between a man and a woman 127 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: on robo calls when they were trying to repeal same 128 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: sex marriage in California, like, hey, Obama doesn't stand for 129 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: gay marriage, so vote no on prop whatever. And so 130 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: after all that, you know, it gets back trying to 131 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: court LGBTQ constituencies to like get back in the good 132 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: graces and then for years nothing, you know, for years 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: nothing for for us, nothing, you know, no marriage quality. Um, 134 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, all the ship with like uh case in 135 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: the military, like is going back and forth.

And then they still don't. But 140 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: so like if our ice cube and I did this, yeah, 141 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: i'd be like Trump campaign, I agree with, I agree, 142 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that this has to be 143 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: an endorsement of Democrats or a defense of Democrats are 144 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Biden in order to critique somebody getting ruised by the 145 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: Trump campaign. Because the thing is everything that you like, 146 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: the superficiality of courting the vote is all present in 147 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: everything that the Trump campaign is going on. Like as 148 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: we'll go through, you'll see that it's like there are 149 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: things that are in the c W b A that 150 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: we just know for a fact that it's like the 151 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: Trump the Trump administration is like diabatrically opposed to. But 152 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: we'll get into that they don't even take us seriously 153 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: enough to pretend like they're going to do stuff for us. 154 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: So this is the Democrats don't even take it seriously 155 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: enough to pretend like they're going to do so all 156 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying is if somebody is truly last week. Don't 157 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: get me wrong, but like what the fun if somebody 158 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: is un ironically just in their heart believes no man 159 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: like Trump is telling the truth, like this is real? 160 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Like this is I mean, I know that he's been 161 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: president for three and a half years and they haven't 162 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: done shipped, and they've been hanging with Nazis and been 163 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: have like been actively antagtagonistic towards marginalized people. But you 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: know what, I believe this like this is this is 165 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: the real ship. Then by all means, I think you know, 166 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: mago Away, you know, if like you truly live. But 167 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: if you don't really believe that, then I just don't 168 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: understand how you could fall for it. Like being critical 169 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: of the Democrats, like, oh, the Democrats didn't do this outreach, 170 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: the Democrats didn't do this. I want the Democrats to 171 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: do that, or whatever political party you want to do it, 172 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: that's fine. But the Trump administration in particular, it's like 173 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: want man, you know what I'm saying. But um, but 174 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden put on his platform next week, then 175 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: we're going to nationalize all energy production. They say he's pandering, 176 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: and that would literally wouldn't believe him, but I would 177 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: be like fucking stoked to vote for him because at 178 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: least acknowledge my fucking existence and acknowledge the deep existential 179 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: dread that I fear every morning when I wake up 180 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: and think about our planet burning to ash. But alwayst like, oh, 181 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: we acknowledge me, all right, okay, so the thing so 182 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I get it. Would would you describe the Joe Biden 183 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: campaign as being run in as being absent and unacknowledging 184 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: of the black community or black people. They want our votes, 185 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: they don't want to do ship for us? What the 186 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: fund is Trump doing. So what I'm saying is if 187 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: that if somebody was like, Yo, they want our votes, 188 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: they don't want to do it for I'm not voting. 189 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't agree still, but I got it, you know 190 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: what I mean. If somebody's like, they don't want my vote, 191 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: they don't want to do ship for us, so let's 192 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: vote for the nazis no, no something for you, and 193 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: that something is tossed us into a fucking furnace. Look, 194 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: if they had the chance, they would bring back Jim 195 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Crow because let me tell you something, people, right, the 196 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: Republican endgame is apartheide. That's what they're going for. They're 197 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: going for minority rule. They want to control the courts. 198 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: They want to fuck the country so bad from like 199 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: the structural level, that it doesn't matter how much they're outnumbered, 200 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how progressive the country really is. That 201 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: they just have total control. You do not have to 202 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: be a Democrat to be able to look at the 203 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: situation and and see that. In my opinion, I don't 204 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: think you have to be a democrat or a liberal 205 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: to look at the situation and realize that. And if 206 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: you are leftist, I mean, I'm just not understanding, Like 207 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I was with you. I canvass for Bernie, 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: I did that little bit of the work. At what 209 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: point for anybody in the Bernie or bus crowd did 210 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: like you read in a pamphlet or some ship. Hey guys, 211 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: do you know what the alternative the better alternatives to 212 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: this is nazis? It's just what the funk are people 213 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: talking about? I just don't understand how you're not looking 214 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: at how people are looking at it from like, uh, 215 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: what is going to give us more freedom of movement? 216 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: Because if you think that these Trump motherfucker's are gonna 217 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: like sit at the table and negotiate with people, they 218 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: damn sure aren't. That's why they're doing all this ship 219 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: twenty five days before the election happens. That's like, you 220 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean that right there is a dead 221 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: giver if they if they were talking about this a 222 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: year ago. You know what I'm saying, Like, how how 223 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: how much woulden doubt of what I'm saying be if 224 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: like now, yo, like Trump has been on this black 225 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: agenda for like a year. It's like, oh, okay, well, 226 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean they've been going at it. It didn't take 227 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: pull numbers being in the tank. It didn't take him 228 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: lagging behind and it'll in the election by you know, 229 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: like major points. It didn't take Covid ruining the country 230 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: and changing the dynamic of how the race was supposed 231 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: to play out. He just did it because it was 232 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: on his mind. So it's just like, I don't understand 233 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: how the critique can be on one end where it's like, oh, man, 234 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats did the Democrats didn't do. The Democrats are 235 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: supposed to do better because we think we don't let 236 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: the Republicans aren't honest and aren't acting in good faith 237 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: on virtually everything, to the point where it's like I 238 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: don't even feel any hesitation to just say that as 239 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, See we know that, but ice 240 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: Cube doesn't. And that's not his because he's older than 241 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: both of us, and he's more connected than both of us, 242 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: and I mean this all led to um in in 243 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: the weeks afterwards, ice Cube doubled and tripled down, and 244 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: he's talked about it, and I'm not even I'm not 245 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: gonna like mischaracterize it because you know, all of his 246 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: critique of the Democrat Party are all on point. Is 247 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: it's nothing unlike things that you've heard Mariah say just now. 248 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: But you know he'd gotten he had an interview with 249 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: Roland Martin and it was kind of a disaster, you 250 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it was obvious he was 251 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: a bit out of his depth in terms of like 252 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: knowing even what Trump's policies were and stuff like that. Now, Trump, 253 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, they have a proposal which um is 254 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: called the Platinum Plan because the Bling Bling Plan must 255 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: not have been available, so they went with the Platinum Plan, 256 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: and it allegedly promises opportunity, security, prosperity, and fairness for 257 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: the black community. Um So, in this the Trump Plan, 258 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: we've got a promise of three million new jobs for 259 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: the black community, creating five hundred thousand new black owned businesses, 260 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: increase access to capital and black communities by almost five 261 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars, safe urban neighborhoods with the highest policing standards. YadA, YadA, YadA, 262 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: da dada. But it's interesting, I guess interesting to me, 263 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: given Ice cubes previous views on the cops. You're right, 264 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: I was thinking that too. I mean, if you see 265 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: any footage of the Trump rallies now, they're like flying 266 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the American flag right next to the Blue line flag. 267 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: So I guess it's love the police. I mean, both 268 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: parties are like, we support our law enforcements. So I 269 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: guess if you're dealing with equivalent like sanceis why not 270 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: go with the people that are like, we're willing to 271 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: like throw you a fucking bone. But do you But 272 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, like that is to be honest, 273 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't understand how anyone can think that, Well, that's 274 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: too fucking bad, like like no, for real, Like so 275 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: you're telling me that you're looking at the Republicans and 276 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, Trump wants to throw us a bone. 277 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just seeing how I'm seeing how I'm saying. 278 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: I see how I got that. Well. I think that 279 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: if ice Cube feels that that's genuine, then I feel 280 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: that the Nigerian Prince could probably scam ice Cube out 281 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: of some ship too. And I feel that like, uh, 282 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner salesman could probably sell him a broken vacuum 283 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: cleaner as well, and it used car salesman could sell 284 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: him a shitty car that doesn't work, Like I mean, 285 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: it's just it's all like a con. So it's not 286 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: even really something that I'm that I I personally am 287 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: taking serious. Like I think that Trump lies through his teeth. Like, 288 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: for example, in the Ice Cubes contract with Contract with 289 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: Black America, there's this part right here where it says 290 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,479 Speaker 1: mandatory civil rights and anti racism classes and all elementary 291 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: schools black scholars will write the textbooks and curriculum adopted 292 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: for these classes. That's one of the things that ice 293 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Cube wants. Trump literally had a full two hour press 294 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: conference to pretty much say fuck anti racism, Fuck you niggas, 295 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: talking about how they he was against that that very thing. 296 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: So when ice Cube talked with Trump or when ice 297 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: Cube met with Trump, did he ask Trump about that? 298 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: You know, like, like, did did he ask Trump about like, hey, 299 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: what what what is up with the fine people on 300 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: both sides ship? Like what did he ask Trump about 301 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: stand back and stand by with the proud boys? Did 302 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: he ask Trump about the migrants that are locked in 303 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: the cages? You know what I'm saying. It irks me out, 304 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: especially with like rappers and rock stars when they're like 305 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: cozy with any politicians, because I feel like, if you're 306 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: really like a rock star like that, I don't think 307 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: like a really mainstream politicians should feel comfortable like talking 308 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: with you, because you're probably gonna ask them some ship 309 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: that they're not gonna feel comfortable answering, and we can 310 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: hedge everything with saying, oh, both sides are fucked out. 311 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: I agree, But there's never been a politician that's more 312 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: embodied that to me than Donald Trump. You know what 313 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like Donald Trump should only want to be 314 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: around far right, fringe media figures that are gonna lavish 315 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: praise on him and tell him everything he wants to hear, 316 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: because anybody who's real is not gonna be able to 317 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: have like a regular conversation with him about ship. So 318 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: you know, you you're hearing the pain in the voice 319 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: of somebody who really really was like a huge Ice 320 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: Cube fan and right now, I'll always be a fan 321 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: of his music and what it you know, what it 322 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: did for me, But this is disappointing, not even from 323 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: a political and it's just like, damn, like you were 324 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: able to fall for that. That's how I feel. But 325 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: I look at all Trump So I look, literally look 326 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: at all Trump supporters that work. That's it, you know, 327 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, they're all being con to a certain degree, 328 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: and the maggots are going crazy online over it. Um 329 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: there's a picture that was photoshop with a fifty cent 330 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: nice cube wearing Trump hats, and Eric Trump tweeted it 331 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: out like a dumb fuck. So, um, fifty cents situation 332 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: was a bit more. I think it's a less nuanced situation. 333 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's serious. So as for 334 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: fifty cities watching the news and heard about Biden's tax 335 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: plan and proposed an increase of taxes on people making 336 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: more than four New thousand ills a year, he responded 337 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: with the treat tweet, what the fuck vote for Trump? 338 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm out for New York. The Knicks never win anyway. 339 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't care that Trump doesn't like black people. Are 340 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: you out of your fucking mind? Yeah? So, I mean, yeah, 341 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: that sounds like a troll to me. To like, I mean, 342 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: it sounds like fifty cent doing some friendship. Whether or 343 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: not it's a situation you should be playing around with 344 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: when you have millions of followers, I don't know, but 345 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how serious he Isn't that. I mean, 346 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm not super will versed in Biden's tax policy. I 347 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: am not a tax expert in general. But I feel 348 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: like even millionaires, even even ice Cube, even like all 349 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: of the movie stars we love and rock stars whatever, 350 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: like we're still all getting screwed by the people that 351 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: like ohn Sony, that own Microsoft, that own Spotify, that 352 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: own Netflix, like the folks at the like the top, 353 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: top top, Like I hate that this happened. I guess 354 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say because like Hiftes is closer to 355 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: being at my level than he is to being Jeff Bezos. 356 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Like we're on the same team ultimately, But does fifty 357 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: cent consider himself on the same team. That's what I'm saying. 358 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: I'll even ask you this. I would say that there's 359 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: like millions of Americans who definitely aren't on the Jeff 360 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: Bezos team, but they think that they will be. And 361 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: that's the problem. Yeah, I think fifty cent would probably 362 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: be one if if this is like a serious sentiment, 363 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: that would put fifty cent in that category of like no, man, 364 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm rich, and it's like, yo, you're rich. 365 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: But like when people say eat the rich. They're not 366 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: talking about rappers. Are you're talking about Lebron We ain't 367 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: talking about David Levato, ain't talking about Chris Pratt. We 368 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: are talking about We're talking about people at the very 369 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: top that run the whole ship. That the reason why 370 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: isn't as rich as he could be because they're taking 371 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: a cut on his contract when put album on. Motherfucker's 372 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: whose names you don't know, who you never saw in 373 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: a music video, That's who we're talking about. UM would 374 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: like it kind of brings up like another question of 375 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: black celebrity, Black celebrities playing this role just in politics 376 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: in general, because like I feel, you know what else 377 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: is like a sheer good away at how much of 378 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: a rus this is? I feel like if this was 379 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: some serious ship, Like if it was some serious ship, 380 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: if Trump is Trump and it's like, y'all see me, 381 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: I'm Trump on the mic. You know what I'm saying. 382 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: But that's that's my that's my character. Like you don't 383 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking behind closed doors and ship like that, 384 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: because I actively think about the black community every day. 385 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Let's just say that's what it is. I think that 386 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: this Platinum plan would have involved like actual serious people. 387 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: And this is no disrespect to ice Cube in the 388 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: fifty cents of the world ship like that, but maybe 389 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: it would have been. Hey, the Trump campaign reached out 390 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: to Cornell West, you know what I mean? The Trump 391 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: campaign reached out to Tissy Coats. That's not what happened. 392 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: They're reaching out to rappers in boxers, you know what 393 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying. In in Kanye West, that's who they're That's 394 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: who they're getting like, because that's Trump is like that 395 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: sort of old school in New York racists where it's like, 396 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: oh no, those are the good ones, you know what 397 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: I mean. The I like basketball players, wouldn't let them 398 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: date my daughter, but you know that's a good one. 399 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: I like that one. So shit, I'm black and COVID 400 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: and it's just got my blood pressure up. You wanna 401 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: talk about some music, Okay? Let's that's some music quick. Okay. 402 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: So for the music discussion today, given that we're talking 403 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: about rappers turned Republican are working with the Republicans, We're 404 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna examine just some lines and a couple of songs 405 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: or two just kind of dealing with that sentiment, you know, 406 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: lines that kind of stand out as having sort of 407 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: a conservative bend to them. You know, it's gonna kind 408 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: of be a light one because we had that whole 409 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: episode on abortion where we found abortion lines, so you 410 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: could pretty much consider any of those anti abortion lines 411 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: from that episode would probably fit in this. And my 412 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: ass is gonna find something progressive about it because I 413 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: just can't help up progressive eyes hip hop because I 414 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: want so desperately far our culture to be the bank 415 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: pard of like revolution. That again I said, I wanted 416 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: that's really for our culture to be the Vancord revolution, 417 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: even what it isn't. Well, Um, the first track we've 418 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: We've mentioned this line briefly before in another episode, but 419 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: it's from the DJ Khaled song I'm on One, and 420 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: it's from the Drake verse. Let's listen to this line. 421 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: All I care about his money in the city and 422 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm from Mamma sipp And all I care about his 423 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: money and the city that I'm from Heresy. Hey, I 424 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: care about my city, Go Savannah saying O Athens too, 425 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: I love you. I love everybody, but no, no, it's 426 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: I think that every all the intentions of the line 427 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: were completely pure. If you can say that, I believe 428 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: it's true. I don't. I don't think there's anything nefarious 429 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: in the line and show like that. I'm just talking 430 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: about the sentiment of those words. All I care about 431 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: is money in the city that I'm from. I remember 432 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: when the song came out and I heard that just 433 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: I couldn't help thinking it was like, damn, yo, this 434 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: song is hot. If I was like thirteen. I mean, 435 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: you hear a lot of whack ship in hip hop, 436 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: and you hear, especially when you're like a real like 437 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: kid listener, you hear a lot of like you know, 438 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: messages and values and stuff that you probably are getting 439 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: exposed to too early or whatever the argument is for it. 440 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: But it's like, I think about the person that I 441 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: am now, in the beliefs that I have, and I 442 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: just think, like if my favorite rapper was telling me, yo, money, money, money, 443 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: something about money, get that paper, Get that paper, and 444 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: it is you know, the song is kind of the epitome. 445 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: That line is kind of the epitome of a sentiment 446 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: that's always been around in hip hop. But I guess 447 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: there's something about how soul full in real it is 448 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: a good job on Aubrey and making making that just 449 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: feel so so real, but for real, not just that line, 450 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: lines like it and other sentiments. You know, you have 451 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: to wonder what what type of value system it's shaping 452 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: in people, if any you know, maybe it's maybe it 453 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: is just entertainment. I just think about I'm gonna get 454 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: roasted for this so hard. I'm sounding I'm sounding like 455 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: a fucking Trump supporter. But both parties are capitalists. Neither 456 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: Democratic party or neither major party nominee wants to overthrow capitalism. 457 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: Is not going to overthrow capitalism. I care about his money, like, 458 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: of course. Like that's not even a Republican that's not 459 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: even a Republican line. That's an American line. True, of course, 460 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: But you know, again, it's just let's not make false equivalences. 461 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: If capitalism was cocaine, then Democrats have a bad coke 462 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: habin and Republicans are smoking all of the crack. Okay, 463 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: what if Baron Trump as he gets older, he discovers 464 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: SoundCloud and starts making SoundCloud. Little Nick doesn't have no SoundCloud, 465 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: isn't he like he's like fourteen or fifteen? Yeah, SoundCloud? 466 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: I know. So I'm saying, let's say he discovers and 467 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: he's like yo, I was meant to be a rapper, 468 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: and like Baron Trump is making like rap songs, He's like, 469 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: all I care about his money in the city that 470 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm from, doesn't it hit different or no? I think 471 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: that I have slight more tolerance for black capitals on 472 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: the white capital. So yes, it hits different, um, but 473 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: both have to be abolished. Though, all right, there you go. 474 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about, Like by no means make 475 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: my ship any sort of like endorsement or like I'm 476 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: not drinking the kool aid. I'm not on Team Blue 477 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: as it were. But you know, I'm not working with 478 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: the Nazis, man, Like, That's pretty much what it make 479 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: very clear in this episode that I also am not 480 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: working with the Nazis. You know, there's like shades of 481 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: grain what I'm saying that might be concerning this and listeners, 482 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: I am not. They know you though you've done You've 483 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: done too much work for anybody to its interm with 484 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: that and hilarious, and it came out that I was 485 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: it's like this whole time, just like I know where 486 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: it's coming college prisons. Also, Hail Hiller, what the thing 487 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: is I don't want I don't like getting in in 488 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: discussions like this and dismissing how people feel, you know 489 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, or like acting like, yo, my way 490 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: is right, in your way is wrong. It's just not 491 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: I just think you're wrong, and I think I'm right, 492 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it's not like I 493 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 1: don't think that it's ridiculous for people to make these 494 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: points and stuff like that. And it's just I find 495 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: as I guess someone who you know, I guess, you know, 496 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: I consider myself to be, you know, a leftist and 497 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: ship and it's like I find myself having conversations and 498 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: it's just like the people who are really in that 499 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: NA the Democrats are sucked up. The Democrats are sucked up. 500 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: The Democrats are sucked up. It's like, yo, we all 501 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: know that, but like, are you seeing that ship over there? 502 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: And it's almost like they treat it like it's ridiculous 503 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: for you to bring that up, you know. It's like, no, 504 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: I think I think you can fairly say that one 505 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: side's worse, you know, I don't think that's that's controversial. 506 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: Also saying that I'm not like saying it, but like 507 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean it. Um the next one that the next 508 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: one talking about is the jay Z song The Story 509 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: of o J. Now that's not it's not that it's 510 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: not that the song is promoting Republican values. There's just 511 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: it's just there's just something about it overall that just 512 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: has like a feeling like, yeah, nigga, who are you 513 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: talking to?

I mean, niggas 520 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: is out here. They need like job training and G E. 521 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: D s and ship And you're talking about flipping fucking buildings. 522 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: There's nothing inherently wrong with like black people behind land. 523 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: I think that's great. I think we should. Um, I 524 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: am skeptical of like when people are like, oh, we 525 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: need you know, to invest in black homeownership are like 526 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: land acquisition to like build generational wealth where it's like 527 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: I want a world where like generational wealth doesn't matter anymore. 528 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: And so it's like, okay, buying your whole block to 529 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: transform it. It's kind of cool. But then being like, 530 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: want to buy my whole block because it's worth four 531 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: meal right now and in twenty years of worthy five 532 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: And then what isn't that called gentrification? Buy your whole block? 533 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: Let everybody. He didn't say whether or not it's gonna 534 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: keep let everyone keep living there. If I could, if 535 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: I were the Tsar of Athens, if I had a 536 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars, I would just buy my whole district and 537 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: just let all the people who have generationally lived here 538 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: just like everybody gets to have a house and you 539 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: don't have to pay mortgage and you're good. So I 540 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: think the end goal, I mean, he does say. And 541 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: the thing is he says, oh, in like a couple 542 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: of years is gonna be worth twenty five meal. So 543 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: he's looking at it as an like an asset for 544 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: himself rather than thinking about acquiring land for the sustenance 545 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: of the community. But I feel like there's a colonel 546 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: in there where you can twist it be like that's 547 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: not totally bad. It's not it's not really bout and 548 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's mad parts of the song that are like, 549 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, good point. I'm just I'm just saying there's 550 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: a sentiment to it. And we we've talked about this before, 551 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: that like black capitalist thing where it's like, Yo, what's 552 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: really gonna fix it is if there's more black billionaires. 553 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Now, don't get me wrong, 554 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: if I got to choose between a black billionaire and 555 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: a white billionaire, actually a black billionaire, but that is well, 556 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: at least just in my opinion, that's not ultimately the goal, 557 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, we're not gonna like 558 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: things aren't gonna be solved if like the corporate boardrooms 559 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: are just diverse, but they're still doing all their fucking 560 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: grubby corporate ship. You know what I'm saying, Like that 561 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: doesn't help anything. The last line is from Pastor Mace. 562 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: His hit song Feels So Good Back in the Day 563 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: is on that that Rush Hour soundtrack. But he had 564 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: this line that and this is this kind of scarred 565 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: me when I was a Kid's always gonna stick with me, 566 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: but it'll be talking funny people show. Now there's like 567 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: a whole there's a whole song before that you have 568 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: to hear. But I remember my older brother who was 569 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: like seventeen eighteen at the time, and I remember one 570 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: time we were watching the video and that line habit, 571 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: and my older brother was like, Yo, he's gonna make 572 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: a lot of motherfucker's bad at him with that lie. 573 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: Just something about the way he said. He was like, Yo, 574 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: that is not cool. Like I've heard a lot of 575 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: rappers brag about money before, but your fuck you, what 576 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: the is up with that? I mean, I was reflecting 577 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: on the fact that when we talk about like republican bars, 578 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: all of the examples you come up with are essentially 579 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: capitalist bars. That's because that's mine, I mean. And then 580 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: we did did the episode on like abortion, there's plenty 581 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: of abortion raps, w pro gun wraps, and so it's 582 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: just interesting that, like, it's interesting to me that they're 583 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: they're seen as the hyper capitalist corporatist party. Though again, 584 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: I feel like that I would say, I would say 585 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: that that's it is then, I mean, it's kind of 586 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: not scientific to just be like, Yo, every reference to 587 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: money that I've heard in hip hop is like, you know, 588 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: akin to their right wing agenda. You know, it's not 589 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: really like that it's it's all just it's all just games. 590 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: But I do think that when I do have that 591 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: feeling about the about hip hop not being as progressive 592 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: as we might think it is, it does stem from 593 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: that aspect of it, the materialism, the consumerism aspect of it, 594 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: the fact that hip hop is so in bed with 595 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: corporate America and that it's almost like that that was 596 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: the goal, Like you know, when when Nike started doing 597 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: in reebok and stuff started doing like deals with rappers 598 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: like Yo, like hip hop made it, you know what 599 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Like we're officially that ship. And that's dope 600 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,959 Speaker 1: because a lot of people are eaten and that's dope. 601 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: But I just wonder culturally, if we'll look back in 602 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: fifty years, you know what I mean, when there's some 603 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: whole when there's some new thing that's dominating and hip 604 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: hop isn't that thing, but we're just looking back at it. 605 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: Are we gonna look at that turn when hip hop 606 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: went so mainstream that it was just like this with 607 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: corporate America is not gonna be like a good decision 608 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: that we made that we embrace that as like a culture. 609 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: I think that an era when hip hop is no 610 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: longer the like primary genre of music within the mainstream. 611 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 1: I like to believe that it also be an era 612 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: where capitalism no longer dominants, and so it'll be an 613 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: interesting time capsule of the ideology of their well MEANOK, 614 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: back on it. We'll look back on it like, oh, 615 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: it's so cute. We used to think that kind of stuff. Yeah, no, 616 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: for real, I wonder what, um, I wonder what just 617 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: full scale not ironic like socialist hip hop sounds like. Well, 618 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: hopefully in the upcoming episodes we can explore them. I mean, 619 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: I like to believe my hip hop, but particularly within 620 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: the recent months, has become very badly socialists. I talked 621 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: about joining the d s A, talk about general strikes, 622 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: boycotting Amazon, Like, I don't know if I might be 623 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: the only socialist rapper I know, though, I don't know 624 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: if I've ever made a reference to buying something in 625 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: a rap song. I'm really trying to think of a 626 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: moment in any of my songs that I said I 627 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: bought this, or you know what I mean, Like I 628 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: talk about having bad money sometimes. I talked about having 629 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: bad money sometimes just because it's fun and easy. Yeah, 630 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: but I always wondered that, like what if I was 631 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: in a different subgenre of hip hop, Like, like what 632 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: if I wrapped about diamonds. You can imagine how ill 633 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: my punch lines would be about diamonds if I was, Like, 634 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: it's never too late to reinvent yourself and hopefully in 635 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: your oultra bars this week you maybe can drop something 636 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: gems Well, ladies and gentlemen.
