Then the 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: year started and I was trying to figure out stuff 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: with Terraform Colbrew, which I'm out of money, so I 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: don't know how much longer it's going to last, So 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: please buy merch. 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: There is Terraform. 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: Merch, and I'm still raising money to try to get 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: and by raise money, I mean saving my own because 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 2: luckily I don't owe anybody or praise Lord God Almighty, 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: I ain't in depth for Terrorform because only owe myself, 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: you know, which is still a lot of money. But 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: still anyway, so this show you're about to hear. The 17 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: reason I'm still playing it is because I still stand 18 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: by the ultimate point, for which you will see later. 19 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: The subject of this point is Nikki Haley. When I 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: recorded this, there were many more people to. 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: Be the nominee for the Republican Party. 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: I still we all nobody need to know Crystal Ball 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: to know that like it was going to be Trump. 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: Vivek was a side show Tim Scott didn't stand a chance. 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: And I've made some other points before about Nikki and 26 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: old Ron des Anthos. Anyway, a lot of things have changed. 27 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: One thing I would add now saying this is that 28 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: again I still stand by the point, but the little 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: bit of credit I was giving. 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: Her I now have to completely retract. 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: When on the first episode of this year, of this season, 32 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: I talked about how she admittedly how she admittedly admitted 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: you like that, how she admitted racism was real. I 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: was like, great, thank you, and that you experienced it. 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: The problem is she wouldn't go as far as to say, 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: as we still have a problem with racism. I get 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: it because of who your demographic is. You're still running 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: in a Republican primary, so you have to have your 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: head in the sand and pretend like nobody ever did 40 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: anything wrong. So I get that except for a communist, 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 2: that's that's the only evil. 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: I get it. 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: But then later on, not only did the sister say 44 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: we America doesn't have as racism problem, she went on 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: to say it never did outside of just how preposterously anyone, 46 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't care how racist you are, come on fam like, 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: now you're just being ridiculous but the thing about and 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 2: this is going to be for most of my listeners 49 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: not that hot of a take, but I think it 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: needs to be said. The dagger for me was, like 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: I said before, when she said her mama told her, 52 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 2: which might just be a coddle together story for the mic, 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: which I get, but just hey, your job's not to 54 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: show them how you're different, but how you're the same 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: fam That's that's assimilation. You're whitewashing yourself. You're trying to 56 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: fit in by shrinking who you are. While it sounds 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: great at first that like, yeah, you know you need 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: to show like, dude, like you cut me open, I'm 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: the same person. The signs that Martin Luther King carried 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: it for the sanitation boycotts, when the signs of said, 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: ain't I a man? Am I not a man? I'm 62 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: a man, like I'm a human just like you are. 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: Like those are important things to do, But that's not 64 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: what the way she meant the way that she was communicating. Now, 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: I can't get in her head, but I can get 66 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: in but I can hear the rest of the things 67 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: she's saying. What she communicating is I'm safe, you can 68 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: feel comfortable around you because I'll hide the things about 69 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: me that make you uncomfortable. I don't know if the 70 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: flag can get any MOPI root in that. And for 71 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: the record, your job ain't to show nobody nothing except 72 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: for to be yourself and expose them in you being 73 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: yourself to the beauty and the majesty and the humongousness 74 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: of the world that we're in. They should learn something. 75 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: You learning something, They should learn something. Remember in the 76 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm Not Black, I'm Oja episodes, I talked about the 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: one black man in the nineteen people charged in the 78 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: Rico case with Trump. How we as a community can 79 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: look at that man and be like, are you really surprised? 80 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: I think there are some things that can stretch to 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: the full diaspora of people that Season eight Chicken Nimroda like, 82 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: don't act like you didn't know you was bending yourself 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: into a pretzel. Vivec the same thing Tim Scott did, 84 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 2: Like y'all act there is no way in the world 85 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: you thought you was different. 86 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: You really thought them white people was gonna accept you. 87 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: At least Vivek had the nerve to not try to 88 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: hide his name like Nikki, that might be your nickname, 89 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: but Nikki yok Brown walks in the room first, And 90 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: why in the world would you think that that party 91 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: like people like listen, dog like when you're dealing with 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: folks that have already decided that eugenics is real and 93 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: something wrong with you based on your or that you 94 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: are different than them, based on your color. They've made 95 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: that thing that's not true true by your actions. Yes, 96 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: take a DNA test, do your your your twenty three 97 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: and meters, which I did, which I think is really interesting. Congratulations, 98 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: you're ninety nine point nine percent, just like every other human. 99 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: But social constructs in practice are real. We are treated 100 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: differently because of our skin. Why in the world would 101 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: you think you was any different? You really thought that 102 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: white people was gonna vote for you, You'd like, look, look, 103 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: you could sing they songs, You could wear their clothes, 104 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: you could you could change you addiction, Black people could 105 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: tell their sons don't ever wear no hoodies, you know, 106 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: always wear a suit, Speak clear, get an education. 107 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: You a nigga in a suit. 108 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: I just I don't know anyway, But on paper, she 109 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: they't black thought And this is and the reason and 110 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: part of the reason why I think so is because 111 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: she was actually down to act like she not different 112 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: than everybody else. All right, enough preamble, let's just ramble 113 00:05:44,360 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: now for politics. I am well aware that every world, 114 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: whatever little subworld you live in, has their versions of 115 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: the mainstream and underground motif the super popular and then 116 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: the super obscure. The more you are into and prefer 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: the indie underground version of something, usually the more annoying 118 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: you sound to the masses. Because there's a reason why 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: the big box number mainstream people is the fact that 120 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: they mainstream some of its money. Some of it's you know, marketing, 121 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: its resources, and others of it is because it just 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: appeals to more people. Listen, I watch Marvel movies. I'm sorry, 123 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. No obscure comic book lord, I don't know, 124 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: but I am well aware. These are a trillion dollar budget. 125 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: So the ones that can take their time to do 126 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: really specific, dope, niche incredible stuff, it's probably better. I'm 127 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: just not into it because I'm not gonna do the work. 128 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: I say this as a hypocrade because I'm like that 129 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: about coffee. I'm not pulling up to your little corner Starbucks. 130 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: That's corporate coffee. I want to find a dope shop 131 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: with the single origin Yuruga chef natural process, you know, 132 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: the honey process. I'm looking at your espresso machine. I'm 133 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: looking at the poor over ball. I'm judging if there's 134 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: like coffee grinds around the thing. I'm looking. I'm checking 135 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: all that. I want to see all that. I want 136 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: to know what scale you using. If somebody say to me, 137 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: all my favorite coffee is pizza coffee, I'm like, conversation's done. 138 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: But there's a reason why Pizza Starbucks is everywhere. Everybody 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: got that. You're gonna name me some band. I never 140 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: heard of the Stomping Elephants when I start talking about Inkybists, 141 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, I never heard of no damn stopping 142 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: Elephant And they might be a better band. They fan 143 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: base is never despite the talent they have, they fan 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: base is never going to match the fan base of Nickelback. 145 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: Matter of fact, the last number one rock song on 146 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: the Billboard Charts, last song that was a rock song 147 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: was a Nickelback song. 148 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 1: So it is what it is, y'all. 149 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: Yet, and still it's the Year of Our Lord two 150 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: thousand and twenty four, and still the only thing that 151 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: can parallel or even surpass. The polarization of our politics 152 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: is one question. 153 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: Top five dead or alive hood politics, y'all yo, good politics? 154 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: Rock all right, listen whether we talk in basketball or rappers, 155 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stick there because those are the things 156 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: that I know most about as to what I'm going 157 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: to take this show too. The top five argument of 158 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: many barbershops and barbecues and if you among black men 159 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 2: or just men in general, which I think we are 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: so funny about, Like the passion for which we speak 161 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: about these things is it's it's pretty funny. I've recently 162 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: seen my homegirl Britney. She was doing this stand up 163 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: and she was just talking about how man straight men 164 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: they just they're not really as straight as they think 165 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: they are. Because you could ask them about their wife 166 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, she's the greatest woman ever.

And I'm 273 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: gonna argue, when it comes to hip hop, there's really 274 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: the list is closed. Of the top five dead or alive, 275 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: it's MJ, poc Nah's and Big. 276 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: It's kind of unarguable. 277 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: Now, Listen, these are not my favorite rappers, nor do 278 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: I think are the best rappers, but they're inarguable. If 279 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: we're just gonna say top now, the question is are 280 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: they the best? Well, now we need a rule break. 281 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: We got to talk criteria. The next question would have 282 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: to be, well, what about the specificity. Now, let's get 283 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: nerdy here. Now, when it comes to hip hop, your 284 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: boy can get nerdy. The specific art of wrapping pockets 285 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: flow on TNDRAS topics. There are some things where the 286 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: Venn diagram is perfect. Somebody like jay Z. When you 287 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: go through his body of work, it's kind of like, 288 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: this is undeniable. And I'm saying this as like a 289 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: West Coast I believe the West. It's kind of undeniable. 290 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: And Marshall mathers eminem same thing, absolutely undeniable. There's not 291 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: a corner in the house of rap or hip hop 292 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: that he has not mastered. I just you he might 293 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: be a meme now you know, of course it can't 294 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: stand and pull it a hand seeing which out the 295 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: damn camp didn't I get it. He's a meme now. 296 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: But as the art of rap, I'm sorry, y'all. All 297 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: the way down to making radio sync like, there's there's 298 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: just nothing he can't do. Some people would think that 299 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: even my list of like the intangible, like not having 300 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: Snoop on it is sacrilegious, and that's that's. 301 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: A good argument. It's a good argument, but who do 302 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: you take off? 303 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: These are things that ruin group texts, But when it 304 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: gets down to the art of rap, the caviare of it. 305 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: You know, you could prefer a hot dog over a 306 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: Filet mignon, and you could make an excellent hot dog, 307 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: but a hot dog is not Filet Mignon. There are 308 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: rappers who are just chef's kiss elite, and it may 309 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: not be what you like. And a lot of these 310 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: brothers didn't really sell as many albums as the other guys. 311 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna quote jay Z truth be told, if skills sold, 312 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: I'd probably be lyrically a Tai lib Kwalie. Truthfully, I 313 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: want to rhyme like common sense, but I did five 314 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: mil I ain't been rhyming like common sense. 315 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I think Commic took that to heart and started making 316 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: some hits. 317 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 2: But anyway, the point I'm making is the skill doesn't 318 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: always equal the position as the top dog. 319 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: I wonder if y'all. 320 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: Could pick up where I'm going with this politically, and 321 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: then sometimes it does somebody like a Ludacris. Ludacris skill 322 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: wise is pretty untouchable, right, But I'm gonna start getting 323 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: a little more obscure for you. Fonte from a group 324 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: called Little Brother el Zi Lupe Fiasco. Come on, y'all, 325 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: boy can rap.

Simon says, you'll know what I'm 329 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: talking about. But who has strange enough become the de 330 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: facto figure of someone who is probably better than everybody, 331 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: but is never the choice. It's black thought of the roots. 332 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: He's probably the best if he really is, but he's 333 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: not our choice. I'm going to argue and prove to 334 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 2: you in this podcast that in this GOP race for 335 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: second place, we've seen this before, where probably the best choice, 336 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: even if you don't like them or not like I Listen, 337 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: I'm not a I'm not a fan of none of 338 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: these people I'm about to talk about, but within their 339 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: space there's a black thought, and I'm going to argue 340 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: within this new twenty twenty four GOP. 341 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: Race, that's Nicki Haley. Let me talk to you about it. 342 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 2: So, yeah, Nickie Haley, the black thought of the GOP 343 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: right now. But now listen, I'm not saying he is 344 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: like her or she is like him. I'm saying in 345 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: the sense that she's probably the most qualified out of 346 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: all these people, but she ain't gonna get it is, 347 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: at least as of now, what I think. You know, 348 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: I could be dead wrong. But look, I could be 349 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 2: dead wrong. But before we get into that little update 350 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: on what had happened, was so check this out, man, 351 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: here's what's going on. I just got back from a 352 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: three day board meeting with this org. I'm on the 353 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 2: board for a called Search for Common Ground. If you 354 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 2: know my history, you know that before I was on 355 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: a board for this org called Search or Common Ground, 356 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: I was on a board for this organization called Preemptive Love. 357 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: These are peace making organizations, which. 358 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: Are peace building is a little different than like humanitarian 359 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: or relief organizations. It's definitely both NGOs, and they both 360 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: do an element of humanitarian work. But when you're doing 361 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 2: peace building, these are like ten year processes because you're 362 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: going into conflict region understanding that conflict is inevitable, but 363 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: violence is a choice. 364 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: So if there are ways to create a. 365 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: Viable sustainable society that we're going to work towards that, 366 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: here's one thing I can tell you about the Common 367 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 2: Ground approach is that Piece is built at the speed 368 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: of trust, and the common Ground approach builds trust through cooperation, 369 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 2: yielding results that endure because they have widespread buy in. 370 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: They also have what's called a bottom up and top 371 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 2: down approach, which basically means you do grassroots and you 372 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 2: talk to the government, and change really only happens if 373 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: you're doing both, if it's from the streets and from 374 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: the offices, and they have access to both. It's pretty 375 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: forty year old organization started by a journalist. 376 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: It's pretty dope. 377 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 2: Common Grounds or their teams are ninety percent local, so 378 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: like they're in thirty three countries every place they are. Again, 379 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: the staff is ninety percent local, so you from these regions. 380 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 2: And again these are ten years progress. You know, Piece 381 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: is built at the speed of trust. 382 00:21:59,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 383 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: So, and here's one thing they say, like they have 384 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: this framework that they say, these are the five vital 385 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 2: signs of a healthy society. 386 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: Physical violence. 387 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: Do you feel safe when you walk down the street, 388 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 2: So like, do you feel safe when you walk down 389 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: the street. Okay, then we're doing good agency. Does what 390 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: you say matter or Do you feel like the system 391 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 2: is rigged? If you feel like the system is rigged, 392 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: you ain't. You ain't got no health polarization? Are you stuck? 393 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: Is there just a US versus them? In everything? Institutional legitimacy? 394 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: Can you trust the news? Do you trust the police? 395 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 2: And sustainable resourcing? Would you rather invest your tax dollars 396 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: in the prisons or youth empowerment programs? Where your money going? 397 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Do I trust my institution? Do I feel safe here? 398 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 2: Are the resources allocated fairly? Are my voices being heard? 399 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: Are there people being silenced? Or is there grace polarization? 400 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: If any of those things are there, then you don't 401 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 2: have a healthy society. Which alarm bell should be going 402 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: off in your own ear right now, because it's us fool. 403 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 2: We don't have a we don't have a viable society. Now, 404 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: we got debriefed on some different things they've done in 405 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 2: different areas of conflict. They were in me and mar 406 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 2: and they made a reality show over there about a 407 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: woman president. That's pretty crazy, and because you know, we 408 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: had a hard time with rape as a war weapon, right, 409 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: and there were no female females running for office, So 410 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: they started saying like how could we spark the imagination 411 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: of allowing like female voices to be heard. 412 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: That's one thing they did in other places. 413 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: I think it was Nigeria, they created a soccer tournament 414 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: with two feuding tribes. And again, now this wasn't Search's idea, 415 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: it was the locals idea, like what are ways we 416 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: can make we can spark dialogue among each other, you know. 417 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: And but ultimately they are in Israel and Palestine. We 418 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: got offices in the West Bank. We're working on relief 419 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: and peace talks and humanitarian a that's happening right there. 420 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: So you could trust that Chiboi prop is involved on 421 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: the ground with the ORG. I'm a part of action 422 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: trying to make this cease fire happen, right, I mean 423 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: across the world, Like you know, across the world, we're 424 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: all like, the shooting has to stop. 425 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: But the question is what's gonna happen after they stop? 426 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: And get this based on mountains of verifiable, studied and 427 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: peer reviewed evidence. Even if your attitude is you are 428 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: only in this for the safety and security of Israel, 429 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: let's just say you that, like you're not worry about 430 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: past Ida, you only hear for the safety of Israel. 431 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: What Israel is doing verifiably guarantees more terrorism. When you 432 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: just carpet bomb, when you respond with like a nation 433 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: nation's worth of army and destruction, you either solidify support 434 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: for the people you trying to eradicate or the group 435 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 2: you're trying to eradicate, or you just create more your 436 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: birth they're making, their actions are making to There is 437 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: so much evidence of this anyway. So that's where I 438 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 2: was right before Christmas, sitting down with like people in 439 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: the trenches, hearing from the streets what's going on and 440 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: how it can be involved. I'll drop a link as 441 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 2: to like our website and how you can support we 442 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: got I mean, we have a whole like merch store 443 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: that are products from Afghani and Iraqi refugees. You supporting 444 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 2: them directly, like we really in the trenches. You can 445 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: trust your boy props in the trenches. Now that's that. 446 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: Let's get to NICKI hate Nikki not being that girl name, 447 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: which is a little bit of what I don't like 448 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: about her. 449 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: Also, you know, saying or Ted. 450 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: Cruise, your name is Raphael Okay, at least at least 451 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: if a vaik is down to say his name, you 452 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: understand I'm talking about Nikki Bento. 453 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: Oh Rourke Betho, you're gonna go with that? Oh man, 454 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: he's so corny. 455 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: Okay, Now, the polls is talking if you could trust 456 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: the poles, just like you know when you hear stuff 457 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: like word on the street, like sometimes you could trust that, 458 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: sometimes you can't. I personally feel like it's almost like 459 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 2: a yop review. You have to feel really really strong 460 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: to leave a review, like you either really love it 461 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 2: or you really hate it. But most people just go 462 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: in there and get their stuff and me. 463 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: But we all read them. I just don't know how 464 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: effective they are. 465 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: But the poles are saying she putting a whooping on 466 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 2: Santos and everybody else, and by whooping, I still mean 467 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 2: they just racing for second place at least as of 468 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: right now, Like this is a fight for second, which 469 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: is already just funny. Now, of course anything can happen, 470 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: you never know, but as of this point, she's surgeon 471 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: in the poll. I think it's interesting to think about 472 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 2: why she is and have seen this before and that's 473 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: what the rest of this show is about. So Nimrita, 474 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: Nikki Rond, Juanna Hayley, which is what that sister's name 475 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: is you like rep your hood? Anyway, she plays a 476 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: very unique role, not a very unique role. Actually, her 477 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: role she plays is a role why why I brought 478 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: up black thought. It is a role that happens actually 479 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: in pretty much. I mean, we could go on forever 480 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: as to the role that she plays in almost all. 481 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Modern elections. 482 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: She is what's called the factional candidate, right, And what 483 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 2: that means is this the vocab I said I was 484 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: going to give you. A factional candidate is the type 485 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: of candidate that appeals to a very special faction of 486 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: the party that's dissatisfied with the front runner. So in 487 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 2: other words, it's the person that don't like mainstream everybody 488 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 2: like this person, but you can see your little crew 489 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 2: y'all into the obscure. 490 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: For us as rappers, it's. 491 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: Like, I mean, I get all the club, all the 492 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: mumble rap stuff, but we in the lyrics. 493 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: I wonte the lyrics. You know. 494 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: So when you have a person like a Kendrick or 495 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 2: a Cole who pops up and I'm like, that's a 496 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: lyrical rapper.

So who are these candidates? Bernie Sanders against Hillary. 516 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: Bernie was a true believer, like y'all remember that, Like 517 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: Bernie bros. Like that was like a thing. But he 518 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 2: moved the conversation. People like Ron Paul moved the conversation. 519 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: Jesse Jackson back when I was a baby. 520 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: That was a thing.

You understand. 522 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: I'm saying like he had like a real following among 523 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: like liberal Democrats, and Nicky nim Marita has moved into 524 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: this position. Now you would say to yourself, why the 525 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: hell would you do that? Or tell me a little 526 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: more about Nicky.

It's like helf this why, I'm like, 537 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, this ain't a Nikki fan. That 538 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: brown woman actually like she actually allowed I mean, you 539 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 2: you in South Carolina, so you gotta really be talking 540 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: that whiteness it to be the governor up there? No, 541 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: fam Like, there's some things about your collective experience that 542 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: some of the math ain't mathing with you. But that's 543 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: not that's why I'm not a fan. But that's not 544 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: what I'm talking about here. Yeah, that line you gotta 545 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: draw if you're trying to run for a Republican office, 546 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: where you got to be like, I've experienced racism, but 547 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: racism isn't real, Like. 548 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: I just don't. 549 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: I don't understand how you go do that, But that's 550 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: what they be trying to do. But she death did 551 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: the bare minimum and agreed that that Confederate flag had 552 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: no business hanging out in front of your stay office. 553 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: Good for you. 554 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: Then she became, you know, the ambassador to the UN 555 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: under the Trump administration, and in her defense, she ain't 556 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: really talk like Trump. I think in a lot of 557 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 2: ways she didn't. She represented what we would call a 558 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: neo conservative, which is a dying breed among the Republican Party, 559 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 2: which is again a question as to like, why would 560 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: you do that? It would be it's the equivalent of 561 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: me as prop still putting out records that are like lyrical. 562 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: Who listens to lyrical? And I'm like a lot of 563 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 2: people listen to lyrical And I still love the craft. 564 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: I still love it anyway. So the neo conservative that's 565 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: like the foreign policy hawk, the person that's like, we 566 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: still believe that we are a shining light on the hill. 567 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: It's our job to police the nation. 568 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: So we're rooting out communism and fascism everywhere across the world, 569 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: so anybody could get it. If there's anybody struggling who 570 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: need help. We ready to fight. Are we supposed be everywhere? 571 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: The ones that was like, we're gonna invade the rock, 572 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 2: We're gonna save Kuwait you feel me? Like that's that's 573 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 2: that neo conservative that's like, we got guns shit and 574 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: lower taxes and shoot guns. Of course, we're gonna send 575 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: money to Ukraine because Putin can suck it. We love Israel, 576 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: right like that neo conservative Trump Trump, them new Trump, 577 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: the new version and the new versions has taken over 578 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: that the Republican Party.

There's another percentage in that group that's like, uh, 668 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 2: I'm just I don't like this shit, but I'm scared 669 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 2: to say anything because I don't want to lose. And 670 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: then there's another percent that's like, uh, he's kind of 671 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: just our only choice and until we get there's a 672 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 2: lot of things I don't like about him, but until 673 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,439 Speaker 2: to convince me like that, like, show me somebody else 674 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 2: that could pull this shit off the way that we 675 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 2: need this shit pulled off, and I'll leave because like, 676 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,479 Speaker 2: I really don't like this nigga. He's just our best bet. 677 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 2: So even in that forty there's a percentage. Now there's 678 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 2: a twenty percent of the Republican Party that's like, like, 679 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,439 Speaker 2: we cannot stand this full and then there's the rest 680 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 2: of the forty percent that's like he's just annoying. But 681 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 2: the part that has blown my mind is that, like 682 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: the ninety one felonies hasn't changed nobody's mind. Like that's 683 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 2: the part to me that I'm like, y'all don't y'all 684 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 2: don't care that this he faced like sticking by go 685 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 2: to jail, Like y'all don't care. Now, the problem with 686 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 2: that he's just annoying people. One would think that they're 687 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 2: you could actually convince them. And what I would bet is, 688 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 2: again using the music thing, ask a jay Z fan, 689 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: do they like the roots? They're gonna be like, yeah, 690 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: of course I do, right, Like I mean, I mean, yeah, 691 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 2: you know, but if but Jay's married to Beyonce, nigga, 692 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 2: like if they come in in town, you're going to 693 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 2: that show, not gonna go to the root show you 694 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: going on. I get it. You could probably name way 695 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 2: more jay Z songs can than you can roots records. 696 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 2: Most people listen to more than one genre, more than 697 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 2: one artist, like you can like a. 698 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: Lot of artists. 699 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 2: But the point I'm making is the danger of what 700 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 2: she's playing is the more pragmatic, the more she leans 701 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 2: into the old school neo conservative hidden racism type shit, 702 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 2: the more she stops appealing to that extra forty, she 703 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: may chunk off a few of the twenties she might get. 704 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 2: And then you got the twenty independents. You got the 705 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 2: twenty percent of America that are independents that are like, uh, 706 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 2: there's a part of Republicans that they would call them 707 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 2: Biden curious where they like Okay, yeah, I mean I 708 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 2: like a little bit of what he'd be saying. And 709 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 2: it's just I can't stomach this Trump. I can't go 710 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 2: through four more years. It is their possibility. But then 711 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 2: there's the reality it is most of the country don't vote. 712 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: Like I said on the Yelp review, you gotta feel 713 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 2: real passionate to actually leave a review. Either you really 714 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 2: love it or you really hate it. But that is 715 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 2: not That's what I'm saying about the polls. You got 716 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 2: to feel really passionate about this. When you have to 717 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 2: call some sort of utility service or any customer service 718 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 2: line and they say, hey, will you stay on the 719 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 2: line for a five minute brief survey. 720 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: Nigga, No, even if I hated it or if I 721 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 1: loved it, No, I'm not to stay. I got shit 722 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: to do. 723 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 2: I'm not staying. That's most of America. There are so 724 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 2: many Americans that just don't vote. Why cause they disillusion 725 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: They like shit don't work. Everywhere on the. 726 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: News, especially if you're a Republican. 727 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 2: Everywhere all the news all you hear in is like, 728 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 2: well it's dumb, like it's it's already, it's already by it, 729 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 2: it's already Trump, Like what difference does it make? And 730 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 2: speaking of which, Yo, that's where Bernie messed up, and 731 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 2: where the Democrats are messing up right now, like they 732 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 2: have all these people come out and vote for Bernie, 733 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: like turned out all these young voters. 734 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: Think about this right now, the whole ceasefire situation. 735 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 2: Everybody under thirty who put Biden in office is like, my, nigga, 736 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 2: I don't understand. We didn't vote because we was like, 737 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 2: this is bullshit, but you sounded different what the you 738 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 2: were supposed to and you ain't delivered, So I'm not 739 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: coming out next year you want to vote for you again? 740 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 2: Forget it, bro, That's what they messed up. Maybe Nikki 741 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 2: can snatch them up because they was like, Nigga, Bernie 742 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 2: ain't do shit. Bernie ain't say nothing about the ceasefire 743 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: this nigga bien like, what the you just I don't 744 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 2: know whether you care about it or not. What she 745 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: is banking on is that chunk might actually come out 746 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 2: and vote, because again, they might be part of the party. 747 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 2: That's just like, I'm just I mean, she at least 748 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 2: she sounded reasonable. Again, I'm talking about they party. I 749 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 2: have found when people ask me, I have a lot 750 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 2: of friends that are in other musical genres. Like my 751 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 2: boy Chase Rice. He's a country singer, I believe it 752 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: or not. 753 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: A man. 754 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: Drew Halcom, you know Americana dude. He played in the 755 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 2: Macy's Day Parade. We every once in a while exchange playlists. 756 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 2: He knows Biggie, he knows Pac I'm gonna send him 757 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 2: Jay Dillar, I'm gonna send them Pharaoh I'm sending them 758 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 2: black thought, and what they come back and say is, 759 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 2: oh shit, this is an option. I thought I didn't 760 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: really like hip hop. 761 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: That's who she banking on. 762 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: And lastly, I'm gonna give you one more example of 763 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 2: why this might be a viable strategy. Maybe she may 764 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 2: not win, but why do it? Let me ask you this, 765 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: what does Diana Ross, Jimi Hendrix, Katie Perry, Snoop Dogg, Queen, Nicki, Minaj, Kiss, 766 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 2: Chuck Berry, Brian McKnight, j Any Depeche Mode, Beach Boys, 767 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 2: b York, Janis Joplin and Bob Marley have in common? 768 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 2: Oh in Tupac and Sia and Kiss and Abba. They've 769 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 2: never won Grammys. They've been nominated, they've never won. I 770 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: need you to hear me again. Diana Ross has never 771 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 2: won a Grammy. You can argue Bob Marley because he 772 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 2: died young, but Sea Swing from the Chandelier, Lady Chuck Berry, 773 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 2: the creator of rock and roll, Diana Ross, Journey never 774 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 2: won Grammys. Just because you're the favorite don't mean you 775 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 2: the best. These people on this list, they shaped music 776 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 2: and culture as we know it. What was the point 777 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 2: of Bernie Sanders. We're actually talking about universal health care. 778 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: Climate change is actually on is an issue. These people 779 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 2: change narratives in a way that just being the most 780 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 2: popular can't do. But if you have the off chance 781 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 2: that maybe you might get it, because all of them 782 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 2: were nominated, they just never won. I'm not in her office. 783 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 2: She might actually have a plan. I don't understand. But 784 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 2: sometimes people run just to force the conversation, or they're 785 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 2: banking on the next cycle, because remember, this is a 786 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 2: whole party strategy, it's not just that person. And then 787 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 2: when you talk about like Koch brother money, they world shaping. 788 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 2: That's the way they thinking. Or you might be betting 789 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 2: on the fact that again a lot of people just 790 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 2: not voting, and like maybe you could get in there. 791 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 2: The point is just because you in front, don't you 792 00:44:54,560 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 2: mean you the best soap. It's my argument. He is 793 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 2: the black thought of Republicans. This is no distant black 794 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: thought who is arguably. 795 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: One of the greatest, like argue, one of the greatest 796 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: rappers ever. 797 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: I'm just saying in their subgroup, she's actually the most 798 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 2: electable in the traditional sense because she even got Koch 799 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 2: Brother's money. 800 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: Like that's absurd, it's gross, but it's absurd. 801 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 2: She got it, So don't take my metaphor too far 802 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: talking about he called her black. Thought, that's inspecting, Like, no, nigga, 803 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 2: that's not what I'm saying. But I am saying just 804 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 2: because you the favorite.
