So it's like, think about it, man, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.840 think about this, y'all really think about this. You can't 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.120 name too many things. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.960 That's connected with hip hop, that has something positive to. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.400 Say about hip hop, think about it. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.640 Rappers don't like rappers, hip hop blogs don't like rappers, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.720 Like don't know, it's crazy. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.640 Most people in the world don't like rappers no more. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.720 It's like it has turned in on itself and our 0:02:58.800 --> 0:02:59.880 people have allowed that. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.840 So for you all to stay who you are, man 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:09.000 and to be successful, to have big TVs wheat time. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.800 Let me want you all to know I'm proud of y'all. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.679 Yeah, So look, I want to start this off right 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:18.919 because even though like your household name and a worldwide 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.320 figure and your philanthropy like eminently precede you, there may 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.280 be some people out there that aren't. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.640 Familiar with your background and where you come from. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.960 So I want you to just talk about how it 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.680 was like growing up in Jackson as a black boy, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.320 black man, because I know a lot of people have 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.200 seen like different movies like Mississippi Burnings and you know, 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520 the likes of that sort, but they don't really know 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.560 what it was actually like to be down there and 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.200 experience that in real time. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.880 Being in Mississippi was probably the most beautiful thing that 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:53.720 could have happened to me. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.320 In my life. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.520 One thing that I tell people all the time, My 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.440 favorite type of white person on this planet is a 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.240 white person from Mississippi. All I ever wanted from anybody, black, white, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.640 alien is the truth. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.400 Can I say, fuck? Of course is the truth. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.080 And so like in Mississippi, if a white boy don't 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.640 like you, he'll try to kill you. If the white 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.920 boy like you, he'll die for you. So at least 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.120 you know where you're staying. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.039 Like, if a white boy in the hood in Mississippi, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.320 you know he staying though it ain't no question, and 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.480 there's certain lines that you don't go across. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.359 And I would rather that then you sit next to 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.520 a white boy for forty years and then they soaking 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.279 your pinsion up and then you were retired and you 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.000 don't have no money and he's just smiling in your 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.920 face for forty years. So like, Mississippi was the most 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.599 beautiful thing in the world because it gave me this 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.440 harsh truth that some people, especially some white people, didn't 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.159 see until Trump, you know what I'm saying. Like I remember, 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.480 I remember, I remember being on CNN and this white 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.520 lady was talking and she was like, yeah, it's been 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.360 a bad couple of months, and I was like, man, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.760 it's been about five hundred for blood folks, about five 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:11.480 hundred years. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.680 Yeah, it's been a five hundred done for us. And 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.800 she was like, oh, that's about it that way, you know. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.920 So for me, Mississippi was beautiful. Mississippi taught me about 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.640 all the things that people front on. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:24.440 About the South. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.279 People talk all of that stuff, but they want more land, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.120 they want healthy food. Look at how they're playing with 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.520 our food. You feel what I'm saying. Now, people want 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.919 to be in Mississippi. They want to be in South Carolina. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.320 They want to move to Tosa, Oklahoma. You know what 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.120 I'm saying. They want to move like like they give 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.760 us these wrong pictures about Africa, but that's what every 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.000 continent on this planet is trying to move in and 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520 trying to co op all of the places where our 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.120 people are indigenous, where the most sun is and the 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.120 most land, the healthiest people to find women. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.880 You know what I'm saying, what say like the woman? 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.400 You know? Yeah, And so it's like Mississippi and fair 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.360 Cohn told me it's like Mississippi is you even look 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.880 at the Mississippi River running, it's like now river in 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.280 Africa like that's the closest thing that you can get 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.080 to the motherland. And so you know that's going to 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:24.880 be the place that's going to be the that's going 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.320 to be co opted the most. You know, That's why 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.359 I look at, you know, Mississippi and South Carolina as 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.680 those places. And if you think about if you think 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.960 about the Civil War, if the other folks would have 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.279 won the Civil War, Mississippi would have probably been you know, 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.400 Jackson probably would have been in l a And you 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.640 know New York or what the East coast would have 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.479 been considered as would have been in South Carolina. And 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:55.320 if you look at the two main slave ports. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.760 That's what I was just getting ready to say. So 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.720 and from an ancestral standpoint, yeah right. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.320 And so you know, for me, unless your parents came 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.640 from the islands, you got to give it up to that. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.880 Yes, you got to give it up to that. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.000 And I'm so proud that God gave me an opportunity, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.760 especially being someone who cares about black people the way 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.760 that I care about them. And I'll tell you all this, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.440 I had to realize something and it's almost to the 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.480 contrary what we talked about before, but I think it's 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:31.040 important for me to say, if our people knew how 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.840 to treat us, and I'm speaking about Big Facts and 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.600 David Banner, right, if they knew how to treat us, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.640 then nine times out of ten, they would know how 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.760 to treat themselves. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.040 And if they knew how to treat themselves, and they 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:41.920 wouldn't need us. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.400 So a lot of times we get upset because our 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.480 people don't understand. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.760 But that's why we were sit and that is part 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:49.360 of our job. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.400 But not to the point where we put our lives 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.960 in our legacy and detriment. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.080 I learned that from you, sir. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:00.679 Yes, I gotta they gotta start with us. We we 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.080 love our people, We love the people, but you gotta 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.760 take care of yourself when you want to be here. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.320 You play Jesus and wonder why you always end up 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.440 on the cross. It ain't your job to say the world. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:11.680 You're just supposed to get a message. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:18.160 Yeah, yeah, this point, at this point, at this point, man, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.520 you know what, we like to pop it on Big 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.760 Facts too. So before we get there, man, let them know, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.840 like obviously you had massive amounts of hit records, you 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.080 know what I'm saying, Like hit records from a production standpoint, 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:35.040 I think, yeah, massive, you know what I'm saying. You 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.320 you you've been on the big screen killing it. You 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.599 know what I'm saying, A war worthy you know what 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:49.200 I'm saying. But but but you know, for everything that 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.559 all of us have accomplished here, Like it's like when 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.199 you wake up now, like what drives you? 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.320 Like, what's your sense of purpose?

I was always under the drumm machine. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.400 I was always hustling. Nobody ever noticed this.

Yeah, you know, And because. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.720 These successful people will play that game with you and 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.079 smile in front of you, but that shit don't feel good. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:43.000 You know. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.920 I didn't have a sustainable relationship, couldn't. I was always 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.920 in the studio or on set. And we got to think, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.040 when you shoot movies, you. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.959 Live in you know, maybe in Arizona for. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.040 Two months, when I'm in New York for two months, 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.760 in New Zealand's for two or three months, depending on 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.000 how big the production she needs, right right, and then. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.079 Still trying to learn that shit at the same time, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.400 because we don't we don't. We don't understand the business 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.880 of the game. So having to learn the business by 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:10.760 a million. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.080 Dollar mistakes and you know, bro, I was homeless, I 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.959 was sleeping in my van when I got my did 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.960 so having to learn that shit at the same time, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.360 you got to watch that accountant and accounting when it 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.640 is with the lawyer, and the lawyer is playing with 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.200 management and they all running you in circles. And now 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.560 we don't have sustainable we don't have sustainable so called fame. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.920 So it ain't like you're gonna get another opportunity at 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.960 that level to make that mistake the same way, so 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.920 you can even take advantage of it. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.320 Yeah, you know, so it's not it's one thing you 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.079 just said you were saying about just like playing the 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.520 scene and everything. It kind of I'll be having my 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.720 mixed opinions about the whole lebron thing and his son, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.320 like let your son kind of do his own thing. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.520 But do you do you think that that's how we 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.960 should do it, maybe more as black people that just 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.440 put our seeds straight in position nevative nevotism as they 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:04.800 call it. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.160 Yeah, well, hell yeah, hell yeah, because every other race 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.200 of people do it well. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:12.640 It's so funny how they keep it. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.480 No, I'm just saying, that's how they keep it right, 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.600 that's how they keep it back, pass it down. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.079 You trained for this, This is what I do. Is 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.600 that handicapping them? I guess that that was my mindset 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:30.120 at first. You have to do what's in our jeans. Yeah, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.920 I don't think like me personally, not not a cunt. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:33.680 I'm sorry. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:38.040 I don't necessarily look at it as a handicap, but 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.520 I do see where it could be viewed as. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.480 What's the word I'm looking for, Like I. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.120 Don't want to say, not giving them a chance to 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.760 choose their own destiny, but it's kind of like like 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.360 not allowing them to be free. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.000 Part part of black people's problem is we give ignorant 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.040 people too many choices. Yep, Like you know, they don't 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.400 fucking know nothing. You don't know what you do is 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.600 because what ends up having think about all of us. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:10.679 My dad, my. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:16.400 Dad was he was the meanest motherfucker on this planet. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.920 Ninety eight percent of the stuff my dad told me 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.360 it was true, Thank you. He just didn't understand how 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.360 so much shit but everything I said. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:27.880 People ask me all the time, if you could talk 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.840 to your dad, what would you tell him? 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.479 And I would either tell him you right or I'm sorry. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.120 Fuck like all of that knowledge, all of that information, 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.720 we usually don't start listening until we about their age, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.200 and then we pissed it all the way all that. See, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.880 that's what America tries to get us to do. If 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.840 that's the case, then the president would be younger. See 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.600 America lets us do certain things so that we can 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:53.880 stay in these boxes. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.440 But they don't do that. In the army, they don't 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.040 do that. And the things that mean the. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.120 Most to them, We'll Smith said it the best. He 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.720 said that it is my job, he said. He said, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.440 it's my job to He said, I am the boat. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.000 My child is the arrow. It is my job to 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.600 point my child in the right direction. Now, as my 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:18.080 child gets older, they have the power to wield the wind, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.440 and the wind can take them where they want to go. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.240 But I even think about my dad in music. It's 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.400 like my dad didn't my dad said, boy, you should 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.840 be a banker. But I was reading on in the 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.360 third grade. I was reading on a junior level, I 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.480 mean a junior college level. When I was in kindergarten, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.720 I could count to a million, like easy. And so 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.640 my dad was like, you're smart, you should be a banker. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.480 But he didn't understand. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.800 Until I brought a seventy thousand dollars check home. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:52.440 From from an independent distributor, and until my mama told him, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.800 like that boy, make ten dollars a CD. 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.400 He get a CDs for a dollar. He staid on it. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.200 He made said I was selling at the time, like 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.880 seven in the eight to nine see these an hour? 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.640 Yeah, my mom she did the numbers for my dad 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.400 and showed my dad he made more money than you. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.040 He was like careal. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:09.040 And so when I. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.200 Brought that seventy thousand dollars check home, that's what my 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:16.240 dad told me. My dad literally said this, what the 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.040 fuck are you doing? Why are you standing there? I 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.560 was like, what do you mean? He was like, you 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.480 make this much money rapping? Why fuck you ain't wrapping? 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.080 Now? 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:24.960 Dad? 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:33.680 Serious? And that's the same video day he told me. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.760 He was like, I don't even know if I shouldn't 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.840 do this music shit no more, it don't make sense monetary. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:43.200 I can sit in my house doing something all right, love, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:44.560 and people. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.120 Just want to watch me do it. You'd be a 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.200 fool if you fucking didn't. So. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.960 So, so to answer your question directly, if we have 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.920 the opportunity to put out children, think about this. If 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.040 we if we start here right, and we make it here, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.600 but we get an opportunity to put our children or 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.199 at least allow them to start here, why would they 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.840 want to do something else when they already are right 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:17.000 here right. The problem is, and I actually researched this, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.200 I did research on this. The problem is is that 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.159 we take the pain from our children. The pain is 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.440 what made all of us who we are, every one 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.560 of us. You don't take the pain away from the children, 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:36.119 you take danger from them. And that's difference. Like I 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.480 was just watching this Kenny and Kenny Smith was talking 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.679 about one of the biggest families that's in plumbing. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.360 Before any of. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.480 The children can get any of the higher level money, 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.440 they got to be a plumber first, and the father 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.320 told them, you need to know every aspect of plumbing 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.879 so that if anything happened then you know how to 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.679 do it. If if the perumpan go out in our bathroom, right. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.000 Now, you know how to at least do that. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.240 So what you do is you don't take the pain 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.120 they gotta go through the ship and if they're too 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.720 lazy to go through the pain, then fuck their little ass. 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.920 They deserve it something it ain't for them. I told 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.000 you knew me. Even if it's my child. If you 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.080 a lazy fuck, you deserve Your sister gonna get it then, 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.720 or some other kid got deserved. We'll just put something 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.680 in the contract that said that some of the money 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.560 gotta revert back to your children and hopefully they won't 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:35.400 be lazy fucks. Is that a little you don't take 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:36.119 the pain out there? 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:41.600 What they said in the Bible, spared the rod quickly Virginia, yep, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.600 spared a rock quick quicken the child to the grave, 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.000 or spared the rod in what spoiled the child? 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.520 Yep, you gotta put that rod on. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:55.679 Then that's round upon the day when you when you're 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.640 just saying, like even even Tho I said, like your kid, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.680 it's a number you'll he can call and say you 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.359 you mentionally abusing. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:08.639 Them like pole, come pick your ass up and you 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.960 get your little ass in them.

Differently today, man. 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.439 The kids are different because we allow other people to 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.000 raise at you see, she think about this. 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.640 We are we are some we are we are. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.919 Some few people on this planet who allow the same people. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.080 I say this, and I say this about religion, I 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:29.320 say this about business. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.640 They didn't want you on earth. Why would they give 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:33.440 you the key to heaven? 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.120 The number the thing that makes a powerful America is family. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.680 So while why would they let you build a good family. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.960 They get everything in slavery to keep you away from 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.280 a family. That is the main thing that they did. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.919 So why would they let you really raise your kids? 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:50.440 Yeah? 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:55.080 Right, so if you if you, if your kid depends 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.879 more on the system than they do on you, And 0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:59.199 who controls your children? 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.200 The system? 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.360 This ship not hard what the system is though?

It's 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.000 that's one of the reasons why they don't want us 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:56.399 to read certain books. 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:57.720 They don't want. 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.199 Us like, how are you going to tell us? I 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.040 never understand, and you're tricking me into it. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.840 Again, y'all. 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:13.760 I told him, come on here. No, but but he 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:15.600 said that's important to him, which is important. 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.680 But no, it's government found look at what they did 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.800 to Malcolm and Martin. It's one of the things that 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.120 we have to start learning. And it's the same thing 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:29.480 with cops killing black kids. Until we convince our people 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:30.960 that it's a systemic problem. 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:33.320 We take everything by case. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.440 Oh this is the case. This is just a case. No, 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.600 this ship is happening together, this is fier. 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.960 Well, right, But what. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.200 I'll tell y'all is this, man, I am at a 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.760 point in my life where I don't even think about 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.680 white people. I don't I don't think about nothing but us. 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.960 We spend so much time focused on other people that 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:55.760 all we got to do. 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.720 Just think about this. I say this all the time. 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:02.639 If everybody right now that tuned in the Big Facts 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.200 went to David Batta dot com right now and about anything, 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.560 I got something from one dollar to two hundred and fifty. 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.879 If everybody how many followers, y'all get about approximately. 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.879 A couple hundred thousand social med But collectively, damn there 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:17.720 a million collective. 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.600 So if everybody paid one dollar, I can make a 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.360 movie with a million dollars. If everybody about the guidbox, 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.400 that's two hundred and fifty, that's two hundred fifty dollars 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.080 to get how much money that is collective? Really a 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.320 collective movement of people who are just not free loading. 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.159 Most people just want our information, and we got to 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.520 go to sponsors in order to get our money. But 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.360 you getting it directly from us. How damn people want 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:44.760 music and you give all of your money to Spotify. 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.760 I spent one point five million dollars. 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.280 On positive rap music.

They get ay money that they get, they 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.480 money to Apple, and think about it, we give them 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.400 to tech companies. I wouldn't even be as emotional if 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.119 we would give it to music companies. 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:05.360 Most of these. 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.720 Companies, music is the last thing that they care about. 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.280 Go on Apple page, that's the less and that's the 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.399 thing black folks care about the most. And if you're 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.840 gonna give your money to people who don't give the 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:20.720 fuck you say, music is the thing that they care 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:25.680 about the least, think about it.

We give our constituency to 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.160 people who treat us more like elite white men. 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.920 What you think about artists selling their catalogs then, like 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:46.760 selling like cashing up? 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:47.680 I don't. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.639 I don't really care, Like to be honest with you, 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.000 I don't care about what no other person does. 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.560 Like to me, that's so cagy.

I 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.080 knew that if I with the fame that I could 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.840 get the money. Money ain't never been no problem to me, 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.200 like money like leaves on trees. That's why I dressed 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:35.600 the way that I do. That's why I act the 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.919 way that I do. I can be free because I 0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:40.400 know how to go and get money.

The list of history books that they try 0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:13.600 to get out of schools, Oh yeah, bro, Oh it's bad. 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:17.760 And we're worried about beef on the internet, though it's 0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.520 still gonna be on the internet, of Yeah, but. 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.800 You know, like in schools, it's it's a part of well, 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:26.520 previously it's been a part of the total curriculum of. 0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.080 The history of the United States. 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:32.240 But what they're trying to do is basically whitewash that 0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:37.200 particular section of the history so that it doesn't it's 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:42.000 not taught as curriculums, so that people younger than whatever 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.520 age that has already graduated and all that kind of stuff. 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:48.680 Aren't aware of the ship that we've been through previously. Cool, 0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:51.040 they're trying to what we don't understand. 0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:54.240 Niggas were created, We did not come off those boats, 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.919 so we as indigenous people were not niggas. Niggas were 0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:00.280 experiment that white people would have never thought that would 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:00.639 have worked. 0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:04.200 So good missions is just like crackers, bro. It ain't 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:05.800 nothing but ignorant motherfuckers, bro. 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.800 And in our cases, it's not ignorance because we chose 0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.359 to it's ignorance because it was kept away from us. 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.639 You would hang from a tree if you knew how 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:13.960 to read. 0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.119 You feel what I'm saying, because knowledge is knowledge and 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:18.800 knowledge is true freedom. 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.840 If we knew how to escape, we would have a 0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:23.679 lot of times we didn't escape is we didn't know 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.960 the grounds if we knew how. And that's the thing 0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:30.879 about all of the shit music contracts. I love it. 0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.840 You are a slave to what the fuck you don't know. 0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:35.879 So if you don't know. 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:38.280 That the reason why black people act that way got 0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:39.920 a lot to do with other people and not you, 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.480 then maybe you wouldn't act like that if you knew 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.480 that medicine, and and and and and and mathematics was 0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:48.920 created by black folks. You wouldn't think that ship was hard. 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.280 You created mathematics, So how fuck is it hard? 0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.880 You built pyramids? How the fuck is it hard? 0:28:55.240 --> 0:29:05.760 Mact you know them big old facts said, hey, so 0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.520 let me ask you something. And I heard you quoting 0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.000 out the babble? So how accurate do you think the 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:12.640 Bible is if it came from them too? 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.320 Man, I'm not gonna get off of the black folks 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.840 in the Bible. Use sir. I'm learning. 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:20.800 Something. 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:27.880 Nikes living alone, don't talk about to figure it out. 0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:30.000 I'm going to tell you this, thoff, Go ahead, I 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:33.840 would tell you. 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.560 How Why would you trust a man that didn't love 0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:38.720 you on earth to giving you kit to heaven? Why 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:43.200 would you trust the youngest race on this planet about God? 0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.640 We were the one that talked them about monothis just 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:50.160 in the like why would we If you are going 0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.200 to say that you something, then if you care about God. 0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.720 God is supposed to be the thing that matters the most, 0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.480 then why don't you go and read the original script 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:01.640 and not how they translate. White people have never touched 0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.040 anything on this planet and not corrupted, and they will 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.040 tell you that history shows you that their history shows 0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:10.240 you anyway they touched you, they have totally decimated the 0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:15.200 culture of those people. So you come from God, directly 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:19.560 from God, if even even from a biblical standpoint. 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:20.440 When they were. 0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.800 Looking for Jesus, they went to find Jesus in the 0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:26.640 middle of a bunch of black folks. So Jesus looked 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.560 like you. So why would you go to a white 0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:31.440 person to find out something that you are. I'm not 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.160 saying that Christianity is not the way. That's not my place. 0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.680 But what I will say is that God is omnipotent. 0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:39.960 God is everything. How dare you let somebody who have 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:42.200 taken everything from you give you the. 0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:47.200 Key to God? And I will say this. I love 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:48.080 what Jimmy tells. 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:57.239 You to as think about this. You think about this. 0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:04.000 Black people in this earth. Indigenous people ran this earth. 0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:07.720 Whatever you want to say, we are mores. We argue 0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:11.040 over the things that don't matter. H like whatever we 0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.200 are asking, whatever you say we are, we ran this 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:19.240 whole earth as soon as we came in contact with 0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.360 whatever that they say. 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:27.080 That we believe in. Yea, Historically we did this. Yes, 0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:31.400 So I think that Jesus pain to direct you. 0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:36.480 So if you stay in a constant feeling of pain, 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:38.920 and let's start telling you to move in a different 0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:42.680 fucking direction. But I don't blame people tell you will 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:47.440 go to hell forever. God made you a sentient thinking being, 0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:52.720 so God wants you to challenge him or her or it, 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:54.640 or he'll be like a fucking dog. 0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:58.680 Wouldn't be no need. You'll just be programmed like a computer. 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.000 But like it ain't right and it don't feel right. 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.720 I'll show y'all this and then I'm gonna move on. Yeah, 0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:07.200 because I got a question I need to ask you. 0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:07.720 Watch it? 0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:11.719 Follow up to that when kids when little of the kids, 0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:18.400 I believe that the closest thing to God children, you know, 0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:22.800 And I'm just asking the question. I'm I'm David Better's 0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.360 not answer this. I've just asked what do children do 0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:26.240 when they go to children? 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:36.600 Right? And what else man closer to done? So why 0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.800 wouldn't that pay attention? Well? Then whatever, I'm not saying nothing. 0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:45.560 I said, what's the question? Follow up another question? A 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:51.280 fight out on peacock to then yes, yeah, make sure 0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:52.840 y'all go get that. 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.080 I'm gonna say, like when you think we come from 0:32:56.120 --> 0:33:00.960 originally like just people, humanity, where do you think humanity 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:01.440 go for us? 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.840 So this is what I think, This is my opinion. 0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:09.360 I think that we all came from one place that's 0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:10.560 closest to the sun. 0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:21.000 And as we wandered away from that place, the further 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:24.600 we went towards cold areas. 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:25.920 Think about it, we evolved. 0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:31.320 God made us to eva, so that's when we started mutaking, 0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.040 you know. And the further that we got away from 0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:37.680 that place, depending on how far it was away from 0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:38.360 the sun. 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:42.440 That's how our body adjusted to survive. 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.240 So I really think that we are the original people. 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.760 And I'm not saying then something else didn't happen. 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:52.480 You know. I read up and study on an a 0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:56.280 Naki and different stuff like that, but I have different perspectives. 0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:59.000 But just if we're keeping it here and not bringing 0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:00.960 in any other thing. 0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:06.040 Just the further that we got away from whatever we 0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.520 consider the motherland is the further we got away from 0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:08.920 the sun. 0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:12.920 Further we got away from good land, good things, good people. 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.440 The more harsh the environment became, the more harsh we 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:17.480 became as a people. 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:18.759 Think about it. 0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:21.719 The people that like, if you study people, you take 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:25.600 away the emotions. Most of these people who are the 0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.200 most treacherous. 0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:30.040 They live in the cold, so they ain't got. 0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:32.920 Time to play with you if they don't, if they 0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:36.600 don't plant at a certain times. 0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:42.600 Serious even right here in America, the coldest places, it's 0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:43.760 cold for real. 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:48.719 They gotta get it most like like like like fight 0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:50.280 Nick Grandmama for some money. 0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:52.640 Sell it. Just need to hear that. 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:56.440 But what I'm saying is is that you know, we 0:34:56.440 --> 0:35:02.839 we evolved and to a certain degree, I guess we 0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:07.360 were sessed in certain ways. So that that's just my my, my, 0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:11.160 my personal opinion. I'm a studyer. I continue I continue 0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.600 to study. But what what I do want to say 0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:17.120 is that we just got to find a way to 0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:18.920 get back together. I don't think there's gonna be a 0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.520 cool by y'all moment. I think you got too many 0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:23.759 types of black people. I actually want to write a 0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.759 book about it. If you really look look at we 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:30.240 get emotional. But this is America is a lot closer 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:32.640 to the plantation than you think it is. It's a 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:34.839 lot of house niggas. I didn't know it was such 0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:37.520 a thing as a yard niggas that was right between. 0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:43.919 You know, look at't quite made into the house. 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.960 It's a little bit better than the field. And you 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.600 look at you look at the music business. Niggas are 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:51.880 basically brown sand niggas. 0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:55.880 They're not light sanding niggas or dark skann niggas. 0:35:56.120 --> 0:36:01.640 Yeah, I'm so still you ain't. 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.719 Quite that executive still out here, which you're not necessarily. 0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:10.359 Up like most of this ship. 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:14.080 Bro, we were fighting to be up under people that 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:15.000 we don't have to be. 0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:19.120 Like. We got there, y'all and we just really fuck 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:19.759 with each other. 0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.239 Think about just us sitting down talking even though it's fun, 0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:24.759 big facts, it's for the show. 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.319 Look at how much came out just right here. Yeah, 0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:32.200 you know, I mean if they still hurt some of 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.880 the other things that I'm doing I want to do. 0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:42.200 I mean, all right, you gotta be yourself? Is it? 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:43.920 You know what I'm saying. How hard is it to 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:45.640 try to wear a hat that you can't fit? 0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:48.080 You know what I'm saying, Like, basically you know how 0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:49.959 you feel and it's really burning through your soul. 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:51.360 You don't want to say it because of things you 0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:53.520 got going on. How hard is that to do for you? 0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:56.959 It's hard because I've done it over and over again. 0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.400 I built myself up, built myself up, and ran my 0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:01.960 fucking mouth and told now, and people don't help you 0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:02.759 build it back up. 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.640 Yeah, talk all that shit. What it is you want? 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.000 They better go talk that ship that they feel so 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:11.120 they everybody want Jesus, they don't want it. 0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:12.719 They don't want I think the story. 0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.960 Of Jesus was Jesus came down to show you how 0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:15.760 to bury your cross. 0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:16.360 I'm gonna do it. 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.120 I'm gonna come in the same way that you come in, 0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:19.799 the same way. I'm gonna show you how to walk 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.120 on water. Remember with the meal walking on water with Jesus. 0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.000 And they started down and they started. 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.520 To do they did what they start saying it right, Jesus, 0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:29.480 I'm gonna come down here and show you. Black kids 0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:32.360 in America are our across the bill. Ain't nobody else's 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:35.359 across the bill. Ain't no politicians gonna save you. There 0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.000 ain't no one pill that's gonna help you get out 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:38.920 there and bear that cross. 0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:41.960 The truths. You have to get out there and do 0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:43.960 it yourself. You feel what I'm saying. 0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:47.440 So like what I believe, man, is that it's a 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.600 lot of times I realize God didn't tell me to 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:51.480 save nobody. 0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:54.200 It's God, John, God's supposed to save you. I'm just 0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:55.800 supposed to get a message to keep you moving. 0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:00.520 If I continuously have a harvest, and I tell people 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:02.880 this all the time, if I had one piece of 0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:05.239 bread and I gave everybody in this room a piece 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:09.799 of bread, right, I'm gonna be pissed off tomorrow. But 0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:14.120 if I'm selfish and build my bread up and create 0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:17.880 a bread store, go and start being selfish enough to 0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:21.480 go on harvest and plant and then build it up, 0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:25.560 then I can give with the love and the grace 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:27.560 of God. But you have to be selfish for a 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.239 long time to build it up. Well, you can get 0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:31.440 to that point. 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.840 Our ego make us feel like we actually can save people. 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:38.680 Think about this, bro consistently for the last fifteen or 0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:39.880 the last ten years. 0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:44.680 I've given my whole life to just helping people. That's it. 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:47.760 And I use music to get me in a position 0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.040 where I can help people. And then I give everything 0:38:51.280 --> 0:38:53.400 and I'm by myself and have to build it up myself. 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.600 We didn't have these conversations, you know me, motherfucker ain't 0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:58.799 came and checked on me when I was down when 0:38:58.800 --> 0:38:59.759 I was fucked up. 0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:01.160 No matter how much I. 0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:04.800 Don't help hundreds of thousands of people, ain't nobody fucking 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:07.799 help me when I was down. So if God keeps 0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:11.440 showing you how people will do you, then I'm the 0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:12.920 fucking food to continue going. 0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:15.719 Down that road. And I can't pray, I can't ask 0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:17.200 God and already reveal to me. 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.000 I'm the fucking food. Y'all in the food from taking 0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.440 from me because I keep giving. Then nobody telling me 0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.799 to do that shit. And I started noticing when it's 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:27.960 some revolutionary shit, when it's time to get some shit 0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:30.680 popping in, they come and get Davey to better. I 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:34.200 gotta their specific friend who makes millions and millions of dollars. 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:35.880 And I had to tell him. I was like, bro, 0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:37.279 call me when Disney called me. 0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:39.440 You don't just got to call me when it's time 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:43.399 to get out on the streets. But people, people know and. 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:45.480 Think about it, even our people. 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:48.440 We know who to go to, who really stand for, 0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:50.880 and who gonna show up in our neighborhoods when we 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:53.600 need them too. But when it's time to give, when 0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:56.239 the people got projects, we don't give with that same 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:58.520 energy that we run and ask them for help with 0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:01.799 we don't, damn and until we start putting it. 0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.200 On the everyday ordinary men. 0:40:03.400 --> 0:40:06.200 It ain't no football player's fault. It ain't no basketball 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.040 players fault. It ain't no politician's fault. It is our 0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:13.000 fault as a collective and into the everyday average person 0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:17.399 who realizes their responsibility. It's easy for you to tell 0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:19.920 this man who's sitting over here on big facts that 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:22.359 he should get half of his check for something, but 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.600 you got fifty, see it, you gonna give a fucking quarter. 0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:29.919 Malcolm Mark, we just talked about that, Hueyt p Knew 0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:30.880 name them all. 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:33.840 I think about it. 0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:37.280 Let all the people suffer, then we let their family suffer. 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:41.320 This situation even more intensive. Being from the South, do 0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:42.440 you think to amplifize it? 0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:52.080 Yeah, it does only because even because we still have 0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:57.440 those thought processes on us. You know, even if you 0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:00.799 look at hip hop the way that people look at 0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.839 rappers and who the dopest rappers, they ain't really got 0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:05.040 nothing to do with lyrics. 0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:06.680 That really got to do addiction. 0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:11.759 The more you speak like an English white man, the 0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:15.839 the better that you control the way that you use 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:16.440 your addiction. 0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.400 It is how they look at you as as adult rapper. 0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:23.920 How the fuck?

Hand 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:08.640 the fucking hand so little. 0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:12.080 I have a question about a situation that was brought 0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:16.680 to my attention, like earlier this year, being that you 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.600 are from Jackson and like from that area, what is 0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:24.319 your take on the two hundred and fifteen bodies that 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:27.800 turned up behind the prison in Hines County. 0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:33.800 Like those those type of questions are hard to answer, 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.040 and they're hard to answer because. 0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:39.319 I don't care where it is. 0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:42.840 If it's two hundred and fifty black bodies, dead people, 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.919 you know I care, right, everybody knows the answer that if. 0:43:45.840 --> 0:43:47.880 You know me, you are you already know the answer. 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:51.040 And what ends up happening is is you have to 0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:54.000 be careful what you say, because now, especially when I 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.600 say with in hip hop news. People are looking for 0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.400 you to say one thing to get a small sound 0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:00.160 bite from. 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.120 Right, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be sitting. 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:03.880 The reason why I'm sitting here is because you know 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:06.600 I care, and the fact that it's from Mississippi or 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:07.799 happening in Mississippi. 0:44:08.040 --> 0:44:10.000 I got a tattooed on my back. I care a 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:11.200 thousand more. 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:16.160 But the problem is is what is the everyday average 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.040 person willing to do right? 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.080 Because every time I run and put. 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.160 Myself on that cross and say let's go, let's go. 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.280 But real revolution comes from the street. 0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:29.200 Up right. The only thing that we're supposed to be 0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:31.560 is a mouthpiece for what the streets really feel. 0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.319 And the streets have access to us and give us opportunity. 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.799 And the way that they show us that they care 0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.640 is they are constituents with us. And so we are 0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:43.680 going to make sure that you're powerful so that when 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:46.920 we need you, then we can use you. But we 0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:48.839 don't do that no more. Now these needs will leave 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:55.919 you out here. Man that you get crucipiety.

And then you turn around saying doing 0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:26.080 so I. 0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:29.000 Got a cap. If I don't cap some you ain't. 0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:30.960 Gonna know what the fuck I'm doing because I've always 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:32.359 decided what the ship did I do? 0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:34.160 But then you turn around be like, well, I'm the 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:36.400 reason why this happened, and the reason why this happened. 0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:38.640 I'm the reason why, and think about this. We talked 0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:42.359 about this from high school. Dog, have I not been 0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:45.960 the same person? I was revolutionary high school.

Because 0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:53.319 I wouldn't wear a tie. I said, don't you think 0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.120 there's been enough brokes around black folks? 0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:55.319 Now? 0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:05.960 Let what at that video? Cut the music?

Betweenty two inch rims don't blissen, 0:46:25.160 --> 0:46:29.560 I said, And it was crazy because Roma song said 0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.439 this was the dopest line of the year. They said, 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:35.279 I'm from a place where a flag means more than me. 0:46:36.280 --> 0:46:38.040 I didn't even mean it to be that dope, but 0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:40.719 not from older I look at the. 0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:43.040 Young men and be like, fuck, that's hard. At ship. 0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:47.360 I'm from a place where flag means more than the 0:46:47.480 --> 0:46:48.520 Confederate flag. 0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:51.560 You know that means racism. And I'm at a point 0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:54.799 in my life now, white boy, what is Confederate flag? 0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:58.400 That's because if you think about it, that there is 0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.040 another aspect as as a pertains. 0:47:00.800 --> 0:47:03.399 To their coach. Yeah, put it on the truck, put 0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:06.520 it on your draws. But that ship means death to me. 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.440 And so if you're gonna use it as a simple 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:13.480 a symbol of a synthesis of people of a conglomerate 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.800 of people. That ship means death to me, it means racism, 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:19.360 It means slavery to me. It shouldn't be a state flag. 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:24.280 It shouldn't represent nothing but your racist why you personal believes, Yes, exactly. 0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:25.879 And I ain't got no problem because if I want 0:47:25.920 --> 0:47:28.600 to wear my red, black and green right right, that 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:30.360 shouldn't be a problem. And I'm gonna tell you what 0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.200 happened when I started making those flags for the boxes. 0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:35.080 I don't know what I would do if I saw 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:38.160 a white boy burn my flatter. So I say, if 0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:40.440 I want them to respect my flag, and with my 0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:43.960 flag stands on even though their flag, my flag doesn't 0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:47.480 directly affect them, we haven't done anything in them, but 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:50.840 still I have to give a human that type of respect. 0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:53.719 Just keep your shit over there in your yarn. That's 0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:54.319 all I am. 0:47:57.760 --> 0:47:59.400 To a certain extent. But what else do you want 0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:01.719 to I don't want anything else.

But they don't 0:57:09.920 --> 0:57:12.919 allow you to see two debates? What if the Green 0:57:13.040 --> 0:57:14.680 Party got the fucking real player? 0:57:15.560 --> 0:57:16.920 But we don't research. 0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:20.880 And if we really want to do something about politics, 0:57:21.160 --> 0:57:23.120 why don't we find somebody. 0:57:22.720 --> 0:57:26.960 To be like? Okay, I really really I really really 0:57:27.080 --> 0:57:29.600 like big Chree.

I say about music, but let's raise Creed. 0:57:43.200 --> 0:57:45.240 That's rais him in a way, and you come from 0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:46.200 our environment. 0:57:46.400 --> 0:57:49.120 It's some politicians, not all of them. Some just don't 0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:49.640 know no better. 0:57:49.680 --> 0:57:52.120 They've never been broken so they don't really know how 0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:58.880 understand what these. 0:57:57.160 --> 0:57:59.240 So why not if we really care about this? 0:57:59.360 --> 0:58:02.360 Black pople are so vested all of a sudden in politics, 0:58:03.040 --> 0:58:04.160 why not build. 0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:08.480 Your own person and get behind them.

I say that after election, 0:58:24.880 --> 0:58:26.320 I don't care what you think about me. 0:58:26.560 --> 0:58:28.800 Just stay and make sure that you tune in to 0:58:33.120 --> 0:58:38.080 should we keep that support roll boys and message? But 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:40.720 all that, all that is the answer to your question. 0:58:40.920 --> 0:58:43.760 Like you said, what is the system? All of this 0:58:43.960 --> 0:58:44.520 is the system. 0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:44.720 Now. 0:58:45.240 --> 0:58:48.840 Music industry has a system, Politics has a system. America 0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:52.200 has a system. It's various systems within one system, and 0:58:52.360 --> 0:59:00.480 they are created. You said they killed Missouri, slip anywhere. 0:59:04.760 --> 0:59:08.160 No, But I will tell y'all man, it's it's it's 0:59:08.240 --> 0:59:11.240 a harsh reality man, to to to be a black 0:59:11.320 --> 0:59:14.800 man in America that care. You know. That's what I 0:59:14.960 --> 0:59:17.960 realized is that I thought, coming from the streets, coming 0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:19.680 from an environment that I came from. 0:59:20.320 --> 0:59:21.800 I really thought that I didn't giving. 0:59:21.640 --> 0:59:25.240 Fuck, And when I got money, it gave me the 0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:28.160 space to see how much I really do care. I 0:59:28.280 --> 0:59:30.960 love black people with everything that I got in my body. 0:59:32.040 --> 0:59:35.720 I know where I'm from everything in my body. And 0:59:35.840 --> 0:59:37.680 what I had to realize is that. 0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:41.040 My my therapist told me this. 0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:43.240 My therapist said, you're always talking about the people, the 0:59:43.320 --> 0:59:46.720 people people, he said, with you the people you black. 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:49.680 I realized I don't treat myself with. 0:59:51.200 --> 0:59:53.680 And part of what I do is I projected on 0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:56.240 other people and try to help other people to make 0:59:56.320 --> 0:59:57.920 me feel better about myself. 0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:02.200 And the real people treat you the way you treat yourself. 1:00:02.600 --> 1:00:05.440 You think about the rappers who treat people like shit, 1:00:06.440 --> 1:00:08.240 like dog shit ain't got the ones. 1:00:08.320 --> 1:00:11.240 We play their music the most. Some of their music 1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:14.200 is dope, but most of it is more of a mentality. 1:00:14.920 --> 1:00:17.840 I got bore to you, you ain't shit. They really 1:00:17.920 --> 1:00:20.800 treat me like white people treat you elite white people. 1:00:21.040 --> 1:00:24.000 Think about this and and I got a little bit 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:28.160 of myself. But think about how most entertainments that are black, 1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:32.560 they don't even sell themselves. They sell an elite white car. 1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:37.560 Elite white clothes. I want to know you, I want 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:39.920 to know what's inside of you. But they sell you 1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:41.600 everything but themselves. 1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:43.720 And I figured out I figured that out was doing 1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:46.680 I found that I was doing the same shit. Think 1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:50.080 about it. As a woman, people usually treat you the 1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:51.600 same way you treat yourself. 1:00:52.320 --> 1:00:55.440 Whatever you insecure about, that's what they key in on 1:00:56.480 --> 1:00:57.880 if you don't take no shit. 1:00:58.040 --> 1:00:59.680 I know some women who. 1:00:59.800 --> 1:01:02.440 Saw one of the most dog ass motherfuckers on this planet. 1:01:02.520 --> 1:01:04.880 When she walks into the room because she don't take 1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:06.560 that ship, she get the utmost. 1:01:06.240 --> 1:01:09.640 Respect, right. So so, so the thing is is that 1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:12.760 we as a people, we gotta treat each other better. 1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:15.280 We gotta be kinder the stuff that we do. 1:01:15.480 --> 1:01:18.560 Bro, me and this man sometimes out of nowhere, Man, 1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:21.520 I call him and be like, Bro, as it pertains 1:01:21.560 --> 1:01:21.760 to be. 1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:26.280 In a father.

That's what 1:03:58.240 --> 1:04:03.240 I tell people all time. No matter how conscious I am, niggas, bitches, 1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:07.640 drug dealers, killers, they put me on. That's why I 1:04:07.840 --> 1:04:10.360 never turned my nose up to the streets ever, no 1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:13.000 matter how conscious that I get, have you noticed no 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:14.760 matter how mad I did black. 1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:18.320 People, I always say, we never separate myself, no matter 1:04:18.400 --> 1:04:21.880 how smart, how much money I got, because conscious people 1:04:21.960 --> 1:04:25.720 didn't put me on rippity rappity rapperty niggas. As much 1:04:25.760 --> 1:04:28.080 as I like rippanty rapping all the time of niggas 1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:29.280 don't fuck with me, no. 1:04:29.360 --> 1:04:32.520 Matter how dope my song is, no matter how dope. 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:36.160 Death of the pop Star, no matter how dope, no 1:04:36.240 --> 1:04:37.960 matter how dope did God box. 1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:42.080 Here's people were listening to like Pimp and might get you. 1:04:42.480 --> 1:04:47.320 That's why I hear playing girl pushy with talk all 1:04:47.400 --> 1:04:48.280 that ship they want to. 1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:52.840 I lost money every time I did positive music. Every 1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:58.320 time you tell me that spent that much money on 1:04:58.440 --> 1:05:02.800 themself on the positive. But what I know is at 1:05:02.920 --> 1:05:06.520 least I can say that I try right. But not easy. 1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:08.800 It's easy for you to make them the records though 1:05:08.920 --> 1:05:13.840 like not the country acting the other acts. That's see Washington, 1:05:13.960 --> 1:05:14.560 you don't like this. 1:05:15.840 --> 1:05:19.720 People don't understand all this shit is simple. The reason why. 1:05:21.640 --> 1:05:27.360 Lower vibrational ship or not so smart ship sales, it's 1:05:27.440 --> 1:05:29.280 because there are more people who. 1:05:29.200 --> 1:05:33.080 Are going to kindergarten then there have been that graduation 1:05:33.120 --> 1:05:41.480 from twelve rights even less people who have a doctorate, right, 1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:48.040 but even the doctor listening. So what we have to 1:05:48.200 --> 1:05:49.920 understand is, and it's. 1:05:49.840 --> 1:05:52.320 No different than Malcolms, some people want to be smart 1:05:52.960 --> 1:05:56.640 for the sake of being smart. If you notice, Malcolm 1:05:56.760 --> 1:05:59.400 X had one of the greatest commands on the English 1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:02.920 language and he never said anything the average man couldn't understand, 1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:05.720 because are you trying to show me that you're smart 1:06:05.800 --> 1:06:07.320 or are you trying to get me to understand? 1:06:08.560 --> 1:06:11.840 So that means sometimes I have to dip back off 1:06:12.000 --> 1:06:14.439 into some ship that I don't like, bro. 1:06:14.600 --> 1:06:19.880 It it bothers me at a spiritual level. Reginia, how 1:06:19.920 --> 1:06:22.840 many months have how many years have I had? The godbox? 1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:30.520 Two five years old? It's gonna come as long as 1:06:30.600 --> 1:06:36.240 she known that that ships so fucking hood come out 1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:36.800 the problem. 1:06:36.840 --> 1:06:39.680 But the problem is is I know what people want. 1:06:40.320 --> 1:06:43.200 I got a really good friend of mine in DC who. 1:06:43.160 --> 1:06:46.720 He having the same problem with with with with with food. 1:06:47.960 --> 1:06:51.240 Like he cooks fried food, that's what he's known for, 1:06:52.080 --> 1:06:54.920 but he eats now that he's been conscious now he 1:06:55.000 --> 1:06:57.720 don't eat like that. But he know what people want. 1:06:58.680 --> 1:07:01.600 And that's the difference. Man, like an internal contelation. Yeah, 1:07:02.160 --> 1:07:04.080 probably eating them up to sell that ship. You know 1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:05.400 that should eat you up to sell it. 1:07:05.680 --> 1:07:07.800 Yeah, Like I couldn't get a restaurant right now and 1:07:07.840 --> 1:07:09.720 see it like so, I couldn't even do it. Even 1:07:09.760 --> 1:07:11.760 though I know how to cook that ship, I couldn't. 1:07:11.760 --> 1:07:13.280 I would have to try to sell it begging through it. 1:07:14.400 --> 1:07:16.520 I'm saying something that resonates with your speaker. 1:07:17.200 --> 1:07:17.880 I couldn't do it. 1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:19.880 Or you want to be able to sleep at night, 1:07:20.400 --> 1:07:23.320 that's why you got, bro, And I was one of them. 1:07:23.880 --> 1:07:25.920 All this damn money. My cousin used to say it 1:07:25.960 --> 1:07:28.440 all the time, Bro, you got marbles and calls and 1:07:28.560 --> 1:07:32.200 billions of dollars, Why you ain't sleeping because that ship 1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:34.920 don't do nothing for your soul? But I would say 1:07:34.920 --> 1:07:38.479 I'd much rather figure it out with some money. Than fact, 1:07:39.000 --> 1:07:42.280 I'm just figured out in the house. 1:07:44.040 --> 1:07:45.560 In my van like I was before. 1:07:46.600 --> 1:07:49.440 But but Bro, I'll tell you this man, and I 1:07:49.520 --> 1:07:54.280 say it to everybody. When I started back sleeping, I 1:07:54.320 --> 1:07:56.880 would have paid any of your money money, bro, to 1:07:57.040 --> 1:08:00.880 just get it. I'll sleep in an hour to night 1:08:01.800 --> 1:08:04.120 and to beat his house out and can't Georgia, Bro, 1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:07.440 I was living on top of a mountain, literally on 1:08:07.560 --> 1:08:08.280 top of the mountain. 1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:12.240 Couldn't shoot it up, you know. So I always say, Bro, 1:08:12.440 --> 1:08:15.600 there's a way for you to get money, bro, And 1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:16.719 it agree with your spear. 1:08:17.720 --> 1:08:20.200 But the reason why it don't affect some people and 1:08:20.439 --> 1:08:23.240 it affects others is because some people never have a spill. 1:08:24.040 --> 1:08:26.080 Like you just said about him, no matter what he 1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:29.160 did in the streets, in his heart, he was still 1:08:29.280 --> 1:08:32.240 a good person. And what money gave him an opportunity 1:08:32.400 --> 1:08:35.559 to do. It's to find that when you ain't got 1:08:35.640 --> 1:08:40.599 no money, he can't find, You can't find. And they 1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:44.799 know that we're animals before with anything, you're going to somebody, Right. 1:08:48.479 --> 1:08:49.200 We make some money. 1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:54.519 What's the money? What's the money plays? That's a good question. 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:57.240 What's the money plays? What's the money plays? 1:08:57.280 --> 1:09:00.240 Right now? I want to be a superhero.

She said, because I was watching the 1:09:18.640 --> 1:09:22.679 just since and I didn't see him. Like some science 1:09:22.760 --> 1:09:25.439 fiction is them preparing us for a future, and they 1:09:25.520 --> 1:09:26.640 usually don't have us an it. 1:09:27.439 --> 1:09:34.800 Mr, Right, now watch this, I'm gonna go even further. 1:09:35.920 --> 1:09:42.559 What Superman, what few superman power y'all know kills him? 1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:48.519 But the Superman is few by the sun?

It wasn't 1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:45.439 for y'all. 1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:49.479 But I actually waited to come on the show because 1:13:50.479 --> 1:13:52.680 I really didn't know what I wanted to say. For 1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:55.720 a while, I had lost myself I know really what 1:13:55.840 --> 1:13:58.920 my basis was. And the more because then I had 1:13:58.960 --> 1:14:02.120 getting so much Like no lot think about this, man, 1:14:02.560 --> 1:14:04.880 Think about how we talked about this in the beginning 1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:08.360 of the show. People don't talk about the level of producer. 1:14:08.479 --> 1:14:12.080 I am bro produced Quincy Jones before. People don't talk 1:14:12.160 --> 1:14:12.479 about this. 1:14:13.000 --> 1:14:15.200 Why you think? Why you think that? What do you think? 1:14:17.200 --> 1:14:20.920 I think sometimes when you got people like let's say, 1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:24.439 I think there's no way for you to talk about 1:14:24.439 --> 1:14:26.120 the top five and not put ice cub in. 1:14:27.400 --> 1:14:29.040 I just think there's no way for you to do that. 1:14:29.360 --> 1:14:32.880 Like that dude with from one coat comment one coach 1:14:33.400 --> 1:14:36.160 all the way to another coach got the get got 1:14:36.200 --> 1:14:40.040 their producers, then they comped that ship again like right, 1:14:40.200 --> 1:14:42.479 Like what I think what happens with black folks is 1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:43.280 when they see that you. 1:14:43.400 --> 1:14:46.519 All right and other ship. I ever give a Greare example. Damn, 1:14:46.520 --> 1:14:48.400 I ain't never thought about how the fun. 1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:54.080 Is outcast considered one of the top artists any GNA 1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:57.080 know music, and you don't say they're the best rapping 1:14:57.160 --> 1:14:59.599 up they got be your best rap that you considered 1:14:59.640 --> 1:15:03.160 them to be the best rock country and all that 1:15:03.320 --> 1:15:03.960 kind of ship. 1:15:05.320 --> 1:15:13.960 The rappers. This snub is and then you're just gonna 1:15:14.120 --> 1:15:17.840 not say that he not his first. That don't make sense. 1:15:18.080 --> 1:15:22.600 But anyway, so I look at it from the standpoint 1:15:22.960 --> 1:15:25.840 of people see that I got so much other ship 1:15:25.960 --> 1:15:29.760 going on, or he'll be all right. But what I 1:15:29.920 --> 1:15:33.760 noticed as Southerner is we two knights. We never really 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:38.160 want to took our spot. Were too time like the 1:15:38.240 --> 1:15:41.639 West Coast when it took this ship, like, we still 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:46.800 don't have that proper film depiction yet of what we do. 1:15:47.200 --> 1:15:48.800 Right now, I'm gonna tell you what I think it 1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:51.880 is about Southern niggas. Bring niggas just feel like sho, 1:15:52.000 --> 1:15:54.080 we can just get our paper. They don't want to 1:15:54.120 --> 1:15:56.680 get into the politics the other side of you know 1:15:56.720 --> 1:15:57.920 what I'm saying, this ship comes from. 1:15:58.160 --> 1:16:00.600 They started up north. Where's that we got it. 1:16:00.640 --> 1:16:02.840 We're finna milk the money out this shit, you know 1:16:02.880 --> 1:16:05.040 what I'm saying, even though we could have took it 1:16:05.200 --> 1:16:07.439 like took it. But every time a nigga try to 1:16:07.439 --> 1:16:09.120 do that, we see what they do and they crucify 1:16:09.160 --> 1:16:10.320 any niggas at the top. 1:16:10.640 --> 1:16:13.200 But the truth is to go back to history. Bro, 1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:18.560 it's us where James Brown from. Bro Like like like 1:16:18.720 --> 1:16:20.880 like people talk all that. Like I even go from 1:16:20.880 --> 1:16:22.120 a hip hop perspective, bro. 1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:27.040 Like when you ask most people favorite hip hip hop producer, 1:16:27.760 --> 1:16:28.559 they used to say. 1:16:28.479 --> 1:16:35.639 Primo, Right, Primo can pray you from Texas? Please step 1:16:35.640 --> 1:16:39.080 across that, bro. Like, if you look at yourself, your 1:16:39.160 --> 1:16:42.040 samples are here. It goes back to show you how 1:16:42.120 --> 1:16:45.040 God work. We're just talking about God. The history. 1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:46.120 Bro. 1:16:46.600 --> 1:16:50.800 Your people are from here, Bro, your people and we 1:16:50.960 --> 1:16:53.280 are from here, So there's no way that you can't 1:16:53.320 --> 1:16:57.200 skip past your grandpast. Harlem is the South, Bro. I 1:16:57.320 --> 1:17:00.840 lived in Harlem for six years. That's us. That's where 1:17:00.840 --> 1:17:02.920 the black people went to. That's the reason why they happen. 1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:05.560 There's so much style, they got so much crazy, Like, 1:17:05.680 --> 1:17:08.360 that's what people, That's what I pep. 1:17:08.680 --> 1:17:10.240 That's why I love Hall of Them so much. When 1:17:10.240 --> 1:17:12.040 I when I went to Hall Them all my homies 1:17:12.080 --> 1:17:13.320 from New York, it was like, wa, won't you go 1:17:13.479 --> 1:17:16.200 nowhere else? Because because this feel like Mississippi. 1:17:17.640 --> 1:17:21.920 I feel like Mississippi to me, and so like we 1:17:22.760 --> 1:17:25.080 part of our problem is we don't know our history. 1:17:25.120 --> 1:17:27.320 That's why Fight Night was so important to me, bro, 1:17:28.200 --> 1:17:30.960 Like when you see how important the Number Runners were, 1:17:31.600 --> 1:17:34.320 the Don't Dealers weren't to Atlanta being what they are. 1:17:34.760 --> 1:17:37.720 But but you can have white folks and they'll give 1:17:37.760 --> 1:17:40.600 you their scarfaces and their giant gotties and all of 1:17:40.680 --> 1:17:41.519 these different people. 1:17:41.920 --> 1:17:46.760 But we throw away our history, go away out of history. 1:17:46.760 --> 1:17:49.880 As soon as white people say that, they man, come on, 1:17:50.120 --> 1:17:54.080 bro that if you look even about the history of 1:17:54.120 --> 1:17:56.400 Martin Luther King. I was sitting out in front of 1:17:57.960 --> 1:18:01.479 pretty kid grabbed me and say, I know you love history. 1:18:01.920 --> 1:18:03.960 He set me down in. 1:18:04.040 --> 1:18:07.840 Front of a Citizens Trust's bank on Martin Luther King's 1:18:07.880 --> 1:18:09.560 that when you talked to some of the ogs. 1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.000 Yeah, and he told me his story. But that was 1:18:12.080 --> 1:18:12.960 so powerful, Bro. 1:18:14.080 --> 1:18:15.760 I don't even know if it's my place to say 1:18:16.000 --> 1:18:18.280 it was so powerful, but he was like that og 1:18:18.439 --> 1:18:19.519 sent me down there like better. 1:18:20.320 --> 1:18:22.080 You ever noticed that Martin Luther. 1:18:22.040 --> 1:18:25.519 King outside of his church never talked or spoke in 1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:28.280 Lma like he did Birmingham and the other places. 1:18:28.360 --> 1:18:31.439 You ever noticed that? And did you you know why? 1:18:32.000 --> 1:18:35.679 Because the streets told him, Bro, you're talking to integration shit. 1:18:36.600 --> 1:18:40.760 The Atlanta clubs was so popping that white folks came 1:18:40.840 --> 1:18:42.400 to the black clubs in Atlanta. 1:18:42.920 --> 1:18:46.160 It was so poppy in the black businesses was so popping. 1:18:46.560 --> 1:18:47.599 We didn't need them. 1:18:48.360 --> 1:18:50.439 So they told mart you kid, you could talk that 1:18:50.560 --> 1:18:52.799 integration shit anywhere you want. 1:18:52.680 --> 1:18:56.519 To, you can't talk it here. He did whatever you 1:18:56.560 --> 1:18:57.599 wanted to do in his church. 1:18:58.240 --> 1:19:01.040 But outside of that he didn't speak because the street's 1:19:01.080 --> 1:19:03.200 told him that we will protect right, we can take 1:19:03.280 --> 1:19:05.400 care of you, and you can't talk that shit. 1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:08.960 You're gonna kill the black mood. And Martin Luther King 1:19:09.080 --> 1:19:10.559 didn't notice it. You right before he. 1:19:10.720 --> 1:19:15.280 Died, well, he told Harry Belafonte, I think I've integrated my. 1:19:15.360 --> 1:19:18.760 People into a burning town. Yes, yes, so all you 1:19:18.880 --> 1:19:21.840 gotta do. The problem is that we don't study, we 1:19:21.920 --> 1:19:23.879 don't care nothing about our history. 1:19:24.000 --> 1:19:24.080 Bro. 1:19:25.160 --> 1:19:28.600 I will say this, there is no way in the 1:19:28.840 --> 1:19:32.120 hell you should go to any of these towns where 1:19:32.160 --> 1:19:37.040 you got legacy artists and not here history.

Of course you're here, run DMC, 1:19:53.200 --> 1:19:55.800 you're here on New York. It should be the same 1:19:56.560 --> 1:19:59.920 in the South. The way that you go to Mississippi 1:19:59.920 --> 1:20:01.760 and I hear no David batter at all. 1:20:02.240 --> 1:20:04.880 That you come to Georgia and I hear no Little John, 1:20:05.080 --> 1:20:08.240 no pastor Troy, no outcasts, no usher. 1:20:09.080 --> 1:20:10.160 You understand what I'm saying. 1:20:10.880 --> 1:20:13.600 We we they have beat history out of us so 1:20:13.800 --> 1:20:17.240 much that from a cellular level, there are certain things 1:20:17.320 --> 1:20:21.200 that we don't like that we have trauma towards because 1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:22.120 of the payment. 1:20:23.400 --> 1:20:25.360 Mind, I mean, my female. 1:20:26.600 --> 1:20:31.840 Big.

That's the 1:22:37.720 --> 1:22:41.040 reason why I love these kids, even from a revolutionary standpoint. 1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:43.000 Look at what these kids do that we didn't do. 1:22:43.479 --> 1:22:45.200 These kids don't talk about the white man. 1:22:45.280 --> 1:22:45.800 The white man. 1:22:45.880 --> 1:22:51.640 The kids say, no, John done that work at a 1:22:52.280 --> 1:22:55.800 Flipping Pancakes on fifty two sixty Bird Street. 1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:57.120 That's where that motherfucker work at. 1:22:57.240 --> 1:22:59.920 Let's go get him and his job.

We 1:23:05.120 --> 1:23:07.080 understand that there is a systemic problem. 1:23:07.320 --> 1:23:09.439 We talked about that and if there is a system, 1:23:09.680 --> 1:23:12.160 but let's find out who exactly are those people that 1:23:12.320 --> 1:23:16.040 go after they because we'll go after each other. Motherfucker, 1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:17.960 step on your shoes, don't bring your dope back. We're 1:23:17.960 --> 1:23:20.800 going directly to his house. So why don't we go 1:23:20.880 --> 1:23:24.280 to their house? And it was funny, and white comedians 1:23:24.280 --> 1:23:26.200 said it a couple of days ago. He was like, 1:23:26.840 --> 1:23:30.240 he was like, you know, this is something harsh to say, 1:23:30.760 --> 1:23:34.160 he said, but slavery was kind of neat, and everybody 1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:37.080 was like why there was like white people. I mean, 1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:40.000 black people are so much faster than us. They would 1:23:40.040 --> 1:23:41.960 have took off and ran and we wouldn't have been 1:23:41.960 --> 1:23:44.200 able to catch them.

They couldn't turned around and 1:23:47.720 --> 1:23:51.840 beat our ass. The fact that we control them was 1:23:51.960 --> 1:23:52.479 sort of need. 1:23:52.960 --> 1:23:55.280 And if you take all the emotions away from that, 1:23:55.720 --> 1:23:58.240 we now have the ability to wake the fuck up. 1:23:59.240 --> 1:24:00.920 I say the same think about our diet. 1:24:01.200 --> 1:24:03.160 You ain't no fucking slave no more.

I'm going to do what I 1:26:13.560 --> 1:26:15.240 was supposed to do, and that may mean that I 1:26:15.320 --> 1:26:17.160 have to step away from some of the things that 1:26:17.240 --> 1:26:20.280 I'm passionate about in order to get what I know 1:26:20.439 --> 1:26:24.360 that I deserve. But I appreciate y'all for giving me 1:26:24.439 --> 1:26:26.920 the opportunity to speak my mind open door. 1:26:26.960 --> 1:26:30.120 Because one thing that I am and John Henrick Clark 1:26:30.200 --> 1:26:32.360 said this one of the ways, one of the ways 1:26:32.400 --> 1:26:34.880 that we can be free or get free. It's just 1:26:35.000 --> 1:26:38.080 acting like me free, the fact that I can come 1:26:38.160 --> 1:26:39.960 here and even if we don't agree with each other, 1:26:40.040 --> 1:26:42.519 that you at least let me say my piece and 1:26:43.080 --> 1:26:45.960 entertain my thought process thought or. 1:26:45.920 --> 1:26:48.160 At least let me get it out. That's originally what 1:26:48.439 --> 1:26:51.160 my podcast was supposed to be. What in Virgamia like 1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:53.040 if it's supposed to be to be a place like 1:26:53.600 --> 1:26:55.000 if a star got in trouble. 1:26:55.680 --> 1:26:57.639 We may not agree with you, but come at least 1:26:57.680 --> 1:26:59.120 you can get your statements out here. 1:27:00.280 --> 1:27:03.439 Bro. When they set Chris Brown up on Good Morning America, Bro, 1:27:03.600 --> 1:27:05.559 that was one of the most vicious things I ever 1:27:05.720 --> 1:27:07.000 said the song in my life. 1:27:07.320 --> 1:27:12.120 That wasn't right. It wasn't And I don't believe that 1:27:12.320 --> 1:27:14.680 people have many places where they can come and just 1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:15.600 be themselves. 1:27:16.200 --> 1:27:19.280 And I'm gonna say this, you know, and I mean this, 1:27:19.400 --> 1:27:21.000 and I'm not just going to fight back to fight 1:27:21.320 --> 1:27:24.920 because of what it did for me. But you know, 1:27:25.240 --> 1:27:27.880 they try to get us to play pips, hustlers and 1:27:27.960 --> 1:27:30.559 dope dealers and all that kind of shit movies because 1:27:30.600 --> 1:27:34.040 they think that we're gonna make these people characters, character. 1:27:33.800 --> 1:27:36.120 Tips and of our coach. 1:27:36.320 --> 1:27:39.479 But it is my responsibility because I come from that ship, 1:27:39.800 --> 1:27:43.679 is to give them humanity. One thing about most people 1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:46.080 felt good about mostly, but they knew he wasn't. 1:27:45.880 --> 1:27:52.479 A fucking joke. Beach. That's my cousin. For a fucking rip. 1:27:53.080 --> 1:27:56.479 He said that all get it up. You get from 1:27:57.360 --> 1:27:59.720 back to see they trying to play us with all 1:27:59.800 --> 1:28:02.559 this power, and that motherfucker me all the time. Most 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:04.519 of the killers that I know the coolest niggas in 1:28:04.560 --> 1:28:07.519 the world, except they go from one to one meal, 1:28:08.520 --> 1:28:10.640 and it ain't no fucking middle ground point. It is 1:28:10.840 --> 1:28:14.479 my responsibility because I love culching so much that if 1:28:14.560 --> 1:28:17.000 I'm gonna play the pimp. That's the reason why people 1:28:17.040 --> 1:28:20.720 felt mostly so fucking much, is because I am going 1:28:20.800 --> 1:28:24.000 to give my people humanity or I'm not gonna do 1:28:24.160 --> 1:28:25.400 this shit, y'all. 1:28:25.439 --> 1:28:27.479 I'm gonna leave y'all with this. This shit hurt me 1:28:27.640 --> 1:28:28.040 so bad. 1:28:29.120 --> 1:28:33.880 Although I come from that environment, it's still my responsibility 1:28:33.960 --> 1:28:34.400 to study. 1:28:34.720 --> 1:28:37.720 Do you agree, yes, sir? Right, So I went and. 1:28:37.840 --> 1:28:42.400 Researched some of the most notorious pimps, especially some from 1:28:42.439 --> 1:28:45.479 the Midwest, because that's where my character was from, right, y'all. 1:28:45.520 --> 1:28:47.400 This shit hurt me so bad, bro, and I don't 1:28:47.400 --> 1:28:51.360 get emotional much, but this made me emotions. They asked him, 1:28:52.760 --> 1:28:53.280 what did. 1:28:53.280 --> 1:28:56.439 You want to be when you were a child? Guess 1:28:56.479 --> 1:28:59.080 what we say? He said? They wanted to be a 1:28:59.160 --> 1:29:05.240 gyminust looking sit for me. You know what that meant? 1:29:06.320 --> 1:29:09.360 I thought he would have wanted to be a football player, 1:29:09.840 --> 1:29:14.560 a dope dealer, something aggressive. There was so much disparity 1:29:14.640 --> 1:29:17.639 in his motherfucking neighborhood that it went from him wanting 1:29:17.680 --> 1:29:21.679 to be a gymnast to a fucking pipop. Hey ship, 1:29:21.800 --> 1:29:26.120 I said to me, I don't that's a bro that's 1:29:26.160 --> 1:29:26.680 it hurt me. 1:29:28.800 --> 1:29:32.080 He wanted to be a gymnast, flip around and leotarde 1:29:32.160 --> 1:29:33.320 for the rest of his life. 1:29:33.439 --> 1:29:37.360 He wanted to play, but that serious put it in 1:29:37.439 --> 1:29:40.240 my package. Yeah, bigs, I ain't playing. 1:29:40.280 --> 1:29:45.160 I keep that man, and so it is my responsibility 1:29:45.240 --> 1:29:50.280 to show the humanity in him, to show the fucking humanity. 1:29:50.439 --> 1:29:53.040 That's my fucking job as an actor.

The motherfuckers who 1:30:33.160 --> 1:30:37.400 do stay. We rob them smart motherfuckers. We call them nerves. 1:30:38.240 --> 1:30:40.960 We treat them like shit, and he ain't get mad 1:30:40.960 --> 1:30:45.479 when the motherfucker don't come back in the neighborhoods.

What's the fine line of going 1:34:09.360 --> 1:34:12.640 back but protectingself? What's the fine line from David Battle the. 1:34:12.680 --> 1:34:16.439 Spirit of discernment? Like I had to realize that, man, 1:34:16.600 --> 1:34:21.479 sometimes people are just hurt. It ain't person A lot 1:34:21.520 --> 1:34:23.599 of times when you're dealing with people in the hood, 1:34:23.760 --> 1:34:26.400 it ain't that big dislike you, but you are a 1:34:26.520 --> 1:34:28.800 mirror to show them what they don't feel like they 1:34:28.880 --> 1:34:32.160 can do. And like, if y'all know this, man, I 1:34:32.479 --> 1:34:34.280 was never the type of rapper to wear a whole 1:34:34.360 --> 1:34:36.680 bunch of I don't wear my jewelry out unless I'm 1:34:36.720 --> 1:34:37.760 going to shine. 1:34:37.840 --> 1:34:40.360 On mother another motherfucker. That got what I guess. 1:34:41.600 --> 1:34:43.240 And I'm at that point in my life where I 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:45.400 can have some nice ship. When I was coming up 1:34:45.439 --> 1:34:48.439 in the trenches, I was out that mother fuck. 1:34:48.479 --> 1:34:51.040 I'm hungry. I like David Banner. He cool and ship. 1:34:54.960 --> 1:35:03.160 If I was a guy. That's why I never like, 1:35:03.680 --> 1:35:06.240 you haven't noticed me, but I never do. I understand 1:35:06.320 --> 1:35:09.439 the club longer that hour. I never get a motherfucker 1:35:09.600 --> 1:35:13.439 enough time to get drunk, not just drunk, but if 1:35:13.479 --> 1:35:16.920 you are smart, strategic. So I've never given the motherfucker 1:35:17.000 --> 1:35:20.880 enough time. Oh yeah, Okay, I got that on me. 1:35:21.040 --> 1:35:25.840 I was a dog, but that didn't line.

I know a lot of my contemporaries 1:35:47.960 --> 1:35:50.800 don't like me, and they don't like me because if 1:35:50.880 --> 1:35:55.439 David Banner becomes popular, then etiquette and morals means something. 1:35:56.240 --> 1:35:58.960 That's the thing that they don't show or they don't 1:35:59.000 --> 1:36:03.679 talk about what and NIXI, these were people who who. 1:36:03.640 --> 1:36:06.519 Honor meant something, Your word miant something. 1:36:07.040 --> 1:36:09.840 And so if NISI becomes the most powerful motherfucker that 1:36:10.000 --> 1:36:12.439 you can't treat women any kind of way that you 1:36:12.560 --> 1:36:15.240 want to.

That 1:37:50.840 --> 1:37:54.479 is the reason why I say it closing. If y'all 1:37:54.560 --> 1:37:54.920 ever know. 1:37:55.400 --> 1:37:57.840 All the stuff that I did with trading, all the 1:37:57.880 --> 1:38:03.240 stuff that I did, bruh, it was maybe ninth wonder 1:38:03.880 --> 1:38:06.559 Erica Badu Tyler quality. 1:38:08.120 --> 1:38:10.320 The rest of it was all gangsters. 1:38:11.800 --> 1:38:16.280 Like there's somebody in particular who probably the stops the 1:38:16.320 --> 1:38:20.799 second favorite gangster rapper.

It 1:40:20.720 --> 1:40:22.120 was because we didn't know what we would do. 1:40:22.880 --> 1:40:25.200 We didn't add lawyers that were from the city and 1:40:25.320 --> 1:40:27.720 marketing company. We had to figure that shit out. So 1:40:27.840 --> 1:40:30.320 we're trying to hold this shit up if you businessmen 1:40:30.600 --> 1:40:33.760 and rappers and do the beats and tour and every 1:40:33.800 --> 1:40:36.880 fucking thing else.

Schnoop was the only other person 1:40:39.760 --> 1:40:42.200 I ever heard talk about that that was our fault. 1:40:42.280 --> 1:40:45.519 So the kids put themselves on them, so why should 1:40:45.520 --> 1:40:48.080 they fuck with us. We didn't do nothing to pull 1:40:48.160 --> 1:40:50.840 them upp. So all I can do is be here 1:40:51.320 --> 1:40:54.559 and be an example.
