Speaker 1: All media. You know, sometimes you just wake up and
Speaker 1: choose violence. There are so many sayings that have because
Speaker 1: of the Internet and specifically black Twitter, which will be
Speaker 1: the content of the episode following this one. But wake
Speaker 1: it up and choose violence again as a as a
Speaker 1: black saying that you know where we say what we
Speaker 1: mean most of the time, we choose peace. To stay
Speaker 1: on point and again follow follow, follow the way that
Speaker 1: our slang works. This is very important because it's all connected.
Speaker 1: You stay woke. I know, y'at installed the term. But
Speaker 1: what we mean by that is aware of the ways
Speaker 1: that you are being oppressed, Like don't fall asleep at
Speaker 1: the wheel the way the white people say, just let
Speaker 1: somebody else steer the ship. Like you got to stay awake.
Speaker 1: You got to know what's happening around you. Stay aware,
Speaker 1: stay informed, and you stay on point. You be about
Speaker 1: your paper, you be about your business. You understand. So
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff we talk about is we
Speaker 1: mean to be like yo, you stay on mission, like
Speaker 1: you don't let nobody shake you off mission. Don't let
Speaker 1: these people's foolishness detract you from the goal, from the mission,
Speaker 1: from the elevation. You do stuff for the culture, for
Speaker 1: the family you know, and you choose peace. You choose that.
Speaker 1: But sometimes, as Kendrick say, you got to pop out
Speaker 1: and show niggas these sayings, these ways we have as
Speaker 1: a black community, they're all connected. We understand them all
Speaker 1: because they all come from the same cultural experience. So
Speaker 1: all of our phrases, they're connected, but they're connected by
Speaker 1: the connected tissue of our shared experience of our culture.
Speaker 1: I hope this is making sense to you. These are
Speaker 1: things that you just I don't if you were like
Speaker 1: us again, like Kendrick said, I would not have to
Speaker 1: explain these things because you would just know. And it's
Speaker 1: not This isn't a slight, this is just a reality.
Speaker 1: There are ways. Again, this is going to be this
Speaker 1: part of it. I should probably say for again the
Speaker 1: next week about black Twitter. But it's for context for
Speaker 1: you to understand that, like listen, we are. The way
Speaker 1: we communicate in a lot of ways is we can
Speaker 1: be deeply serious about very unserious things and be dead
Speaker 1: serious about really unseerious stuff and never lose sight as
Speaker 1: to which is what and how they're both happening at
Speaker 1: the same time, and we truly understand which is which
Speaker 1: and nobody's confused. But if you aren't confused, we understand.
Speaker 1: I tweeted this once and one of the homegirls was like, man,
Speaker 1: my sister's daughter's hamster died. And MY response was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: who did the body? I don't have time to explain
Speaker 1: to you why that is so funny, but everybody black
Speaker 1: would get it. Now. The reason I do this preamble
Speaker 1: is because I want to do a couple episodes around Juneteenth,
Speaker 1: you know, which is at this point coming up about blackness.
Speaker 1: I think that especially with the celebration of Juneteenth. I
Speaker 1: think that, like, I can't believe I haven't done a
Speaker 1: full episode on what Juneteenth is already anyway. I guess
Speaker 1: partially because realizing like I needed to know who my
Speaker 1: audience was, and it was just like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of not black people listening. So I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that y'all y'all really know
Speaker 1: what's you know. I gotta got there's some things I
Speaker 1: gotta say to you, you know. I mean sometimes I explain
Speaker 1: stuff that's black just out of solidarity with other black people,
Speaker 1: where I'm just like, dude, like this is crazy, right,
Speaker 1: It's so fun Other times, I'm like realizing that, like,
Speaker 1: oh you you don't know this about our culture. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let me let me lay it out for you.
Speaker 1: So this is me laying it out and also celebrating
Speaker 1: It's both blackness. But there's something special about twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four that for some reason we have decided as a
Speaker 1: culture and a community that we just have time this year.
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? Oh, we got time
Speaker 1: this year? Like again, usually you don't wake up and
Speaker 1: choose violence. You got to be on your mission and
Speaker 1: you ain't got time for no foolishness on time to
Speaker 1: be messy. Messiness is for the weekend, like we you know,
Speaker 1: we'll do that later. Like if you just gonna be
Speaker 1: messy with us right now, I got stuff to do
Speaker 1: on time for your foolishness. This year, however, for some reason,
Speaker 1: we all decided that we got time, and that has
Speaker 1: manifested itself in ways for which we have duckt with
Speaker 1: things in house. There were things we needed to talk
Speaker 1: about amongst ourselves, and then there was some foolishness that
Speaker 1: we were just done dealing with. Now. My theory is
Speaker 1: there might be something to the fact that I think
Speaker 1: as black Americans. We just understand the reality of our
Speaker 1: two presidential options and prepping ourselves for the four years
Speaker 1: we about to experience. And there was foolishness that we
Speaker 1: stood for early on. Then we ain't realize the depth
Speaker 1: for which the Caucasidy was gonna show itself. I think
Speaker 1: we was a little unprepared for that. Unprepared in the
Speaker 1: sense that we thought that y'all had some sense there
Speaker 1: might have been the semblance of progress. Maybe we was,
Speaker 1: maybe things were not like they used to be. Maybe
Speaker 1: there was, and then the white lash happened. We was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: it's what we knew. We were hoping it was something else,
Speaker 1: but now it's what we knew. And it just seems
Speaker 1: like this year we decided, you know what, we got time,
Speaker 1: We're gonna deal with this. We said what we said,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get this work. So today, at the six
Speaker 1: month mark of the year, I think it's time to
Speaker 1: reflect on and look forward to how black people have
Speaker 1: decided in twenty twenty four. We got time politics, y'all. Now,
Speaker 1: before we get into this, let me hit y'all with
Speaker 1: the weekly roundup of Well see, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: this bull look is like this bullook is like this
Speaker 1: all right, So it's like this, you know, the Hunter
Speaker 1: Biden case jumps off and I shouldn't be smiling because
Speaker 1: the testimony went out and essentially Hunter just ratchet like
Speaker 1: he was sad about his brother, and the niggas started
Speaker 1: to do a crack like it's not funny. Okay, the
Speaker 1: man got himself a gun, got yourself a gun and
Speaker 1: had it for eleven days till his girl threw it out.
Speaker 1: Apparently it was never loaded, and he, according to this case,
Speaker 1: lied about being on drugs and illegally got a gun.
Speaker 1: Now according to the defense, he had a signed paper
Speaker 1: that he had gone through rehab and he was supposedly
Speaker 1: sober at the time, right that, and then you know,
Speaker 1: relapsed after But either way, dog y'all they done dragged.
Speaker 1: They brought his ex girl out, his brother's girl out,
Speaker 1: his kids out, being like, nah, homie brother had problems,
Speaker 1: and they was like, look, you said it in your
Speaker 1: own book, you had problems. You gotta you gotta, you
Speaker 1: gotta run this fade big dog now poem, it's not funny.
Speaker 1: And I don't feel bad for nobody rich kid, but
Speaker 1: like I do feel bad in the sense that he like, damn,
Speaker 1: I don't I done mess this up with my daddy?
Speaker 1: Like guys, okay, okay. Now, normally in cases like this,
Speaker 1: people bring up the gun charge as far as like
Speaker 1: you illegally attained a gun when that gun was involved
Speaker 1: in some other crime, like if that gun had a
Speaker 1: body on it, if that gun was involved in some
Speaker 1: sort of robbery or something, if some sort of crime
Speaker 1: was admitted on the gun. So usually just add this
Speaker 1: thing to you add this type of charge to the
Speaker 1: dockative charges that are already there, to just kind of
Speaker 1: like you know, up the anti ad desassage to the tacos.
Speaker 1: Usually this type of charge ain't the thing. But usually
Speaker 1: were not talking about the president's son, you feel me.
Speaker 1: And not only that, we talking about the president the
Speaker 1: current president's son brought with a federal case, you know,
Speaker 1: said when his daddy in charge? You feel me. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot going on right here. This, I mean,
Speaker 1: you could read this however you want. This could be
Speaker 1: a sacrificial like this could be like a sacrificial lamb,
Speaker 1: like I gotta throw my son to the wolves. This
Speaker 1: could be you know, because in any other case, like
Speaker 1: you look at Trump, Trump at a way of like
Speaker 1: getting awed. He either get the stuff thrown out or
Speaker 1: or get the joint delayed till February thirtieth. You feel
Speaker 1: me like he figured out how to get out of
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and it just kind of it just
Speaker 1: kind of to me seemed like Biden is your run
Speaker 1: of them or Hunter Biden, your run of this, your
Speaker 1: run of the mill rich kids, you know who ain't
Speaker 1: figure out how to hit the lick as good as
Speaker 1: the other rich kids because the trumping them kids, they
Speaker 1: didn't figure out how to use they richness. He just
Speaker 1: keep messing up. And in his defense it might be
Speaker 1: honestly because when he lost his brother, he just lost
Speaker 1: his mind. I don't know next. Look like Israel got
Speaker 1: faux hostages. They got faux hostages back, that's beautiful. Were
Speaker 1: glad that y'all home and shot two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: people on the way out were like, come on, fail
Speaker 1: got dog man? You what do you? Oh? I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to just you had your you had
Speaker 1: your hostages, dude, like just you had him like you
Speaker 1: they're home once you shooting for never mind? And lastly,
Speaker 1: old Biden, you know, one of the first episodes I've
Speaker 1: done on the iHeart was called Joe Biden from Long Beach,
Speaker 1: which got me in a little bit in trouble with
Speaker 1: some actual like gang members because they was like you
Speaker 1: saying here crip and I'm like, I could see how
Speaker 1: you would say that, because most Long Beach, if you
Speaker 1: black cripping. What I'm saying is he is no different
Speaker 1: than Trump, just saying it nicer. And what you find
Speaker 1: out about a lot of like like take like a
Speaker 1: Vince Staples, like there's no question about his certification. Take
Speaker 1: a Snoop Dazz. These are some of the like they're
Speaker 1: the most likable dudes. They're just super likable, intelligent, fun
Speaker 1: loving guys that are murderers like you can't like there's
Speaker 1: no question about the gang banging in like they're not
Speaker 1: safe men, they're just chilling, like you know. So what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is like, don't don't let the fact that
Speaker 1: they chilling fool you, like you know. So, what Joe
Speaker 1: is doing at the border with his new immigration policy
Speaker 1: is the weirdest. It's there's there is no difference in
Speaker 1: his new policy. Then what Trump would say, The only
Speaker 1: difference is he not calling him vermit, but the policy is, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop accepting any asylum seekers and we're gonna
Speaker 1: send y'all back within the next four days because we
Speaker 1: got too many of you. Y'all gotta stay out of here.
Speaker 1: We don't know what to do with you. You gotta
Speaker 1: go like we're not accepted, No more asylums. What that's
Speaker 1: what Trump says. No, it's different, niggas the same anyway.
Speaker 1: We'll unpack that much later. Now, let's get to this
Speaker 1: story blackness, all right, Like I said, this is a
Speaker 1: reflection on the past six months where we are the
Speaker 1: state of the blackness address, if you will, and just
Speaker 1: with the Queen, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett with her dropping to
Speaker 1: call this alliteration just cooking Marjorie Taylor, green, bleach, blonde,
Speaker 1: bad built, butch body, just which I can't even say
Speaker 1: without laughing. First of all, it's the perfect example of
Speaker 1: us being unserious and serious at the same time. That's
Speaker 1: that moment which we will build to by the end
Speaker 1: of this episode, is exactly what I mean. Her display
Speaker 1: of the sophistication, the sophistic ratchetness of what it means
Speaker 1: to be a black professional and why I will say
Speaker 1: and shout on the rooftop that our double consciousness, bi
Speaker 1: cultural understanding of what it means to be professional, how
Speaker 1: we can speak the King's tongue, how to play respectability politics,
Speaker 1: and how to not be one to be played with
Speaker 1: because we are from where we're from and we said
Speaker 1: what we said. How that is displayed in this one
Speaker 1: clip is again my foundational premise, which is we are
Speaker 1: more equipped than anyone else in this world to do
Speaker 1: the jobs that we do. Because this was perfect. It
Speaker 1: was again black people showing you, Oh we got time.
Speaker 1: I'm done with all this. I got time today. So
Speaker 1: it's going to culminate with that. But what I want
Speaker 1: to start rewind the clock back to a couple moments
Speaker 1: in this year that has just made me realize, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we just decided this year that we got time. So
Speaker 1: let's start first with how the year started Club Shay
Speaker 1: Shay and Kat Williams. Okay, the year kicked off with
Speaker 1: a bang with this interview from comedian Kat Williams, who
Speaker 1: just now released aid Netflix comedy special which I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lie to you kind of mid wasn't as funny as
Speaker 1: I was hoping it would be. That being said this
Speaker 1: interview was one of the funniest things I've ever heard
Speaker 1: ever in my life because Kat decided he was gonna
Speaker 1: spill all the tea. To understand why this is so
Speaker 1: important is you kind of have to understand who Shannon
Speaker 1: Sharp is and what he represents to us as a culture. Now.
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp former NFL player, then he was a sports
Speaker 1: NFL commentator. He started his his YouTube podcast called Club Shasha.
Speaker 1: He's got cognac in it. It's listened to us called
Speaker 1: Sha She. Now, black people are very it's a very
Speaker 1: normal like other Latinos will call the cardino, a very
Speaker 1: normal cardino that you would give our our children where
Speaker 1: we just say they names twice you cut their names
Speaker 1: Kai Kai Sha she Like, that's a normal thing that
Speaker 1: we do with our children. It's just it's a it's
Speaker 1: a term of en bearing again a kadino, like if
Speaker 1: you speak Spanish like there's no the translation is not direct.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean when I say it's
Speaker 1: a cardigno. Right, So, and y'all you know white people
Speaker 1: should make fun of it with like booboo like okay,
Speaker 1: but y'all don't understand like booboo like calling our kids
Speaker 1: stuff like that. First of all, boobo is is doodoo
Speaker 1: like it's but it's also a pet now is anyway,
Speaker 1: It's complicated, so saysha is already a throwback to just
Speaker 1: very just blackness. Shannon's sharp in the way that he enunciates,
Speaker 1: the way that he articulates his facial expressions, the points
Speaker 1: he makes, even the depth of knowledge that he has
Speaker 1: about things. But yet it's said in such a country manner,
Speaker 1: is he's collectively our uncle because it's so authentic. He's
Speaker 1: actually very well informed, very curious, knows what he's doing,
Speaker 1: super professional, but he never lost. And I don't know
Speaker 1: him well enough to know, but everybody else that knows
Speaker 1: him says, no, that's real. That's really him. The you
Speaker 1: know him with him would have black and mild and
Speaker 1: some and some crown royal in it and you know,
Speaker 1: slapping spades, playing Domino, sipping kangyac like he is. This
Speaker 1: is our uncle, all of it, like everything was so
Speaker 1: so his character, not in a derogatory term, but just
Speaker 1: in the person with the persona, the person we're seeing
Speaker 1: on the screen, whether it's authentic to him or not,
Speaker 1: which again I believe it is. He is so familiar
Speaker 1: to us. That's unk. He unk, like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like unk is obviously short for uncle, which
Speaker 1: is just again it's a it's a term of respect
Speaker 1: we give to older Black men who aren't necessarily our fathers,
Speaker 1: right or not, like the in between, like a big
Speaker 1: homie or a big cousin, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like a big homy a lot of times is a
Speaker 1: little closer to your age. But like your unk, like
Speaker 1: he a little older, you know what I'm saying. Like
Speaker 1: you know, a few years ago, it would be like
Speaker 1: the dude with the you know, with the bluetooth with
Speaker 1: the with the funny looking bluetooth in his ear, like
Speaker 1: he just oh heay, what's up, Chuck? Like the Spice
Speaker 1: Adams character. Like now that person has gotten a little older,
Speaker 1: a little more older, like our unks now are again
Speaker 1: more like Shannon Sharp. They little more style, They got
Speaker 1: a little they don't dress like seven, you feel me,
Speaker 1: like they dress the way he dressed. He a little younger,
Speaker 1: He still be outside, he still be courtside, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But like y'all seeing them clips where
Speaker 1: he looked back at homeboy, that really wanted to, wanted
Speaker 1: to smoke with him, where he like, I'm still willing
Speaker 1: to I'll dance with you, young boys. I'm still willing
Speaker 1: to get down. Like my knees are still okay. You
Speaker 1: know the old heads, like the Spice Adams characters, they
Speaker 1: needs don't they needs ain't working, you know, you spraying
Speaker 1: the juke on. These boys are still in the club
Speaker 1: a little older than us. So that's Unk. You feel
Speaker 1: me right that the girls they bringing around probably got it,
Speaker 1: got grown children, you all saying, and maybe like a
Speaker 1: one or two year old grand baby, but mama still
Speaker 1: Grandma's still bad. She's still kind of young. You know,
Speaker 1: she's still bad. She's still out party. That's who Unk
Speaker 1: bring around. Like, so he already that to us. And
Speaker 1: then you add in Kat Williams. Now Kat Williams a
Speaker 1: legendary black comic, but he little odd. He always has
Speaker 1: been a little odd. He decided to absolutely evisc a
Speaker 1: rate every other black comic short of a fuel. And
Speaker 1: he was like, you gonna not disrespect Bernie Max's name.
Speaker 1: You gonna not disrespect D. L. Hugeley's name, because he
Speaker 1: like they put in the work. But he's like, I
Speaker 1: want all the smoke. I ain't got no respect for
Speaker 1: no Steve Harvey, for no, said the entertainer. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that Kevin Hart's to industry plan, like he just lit
Speaker 1: everybody up. And then he then he talked about Faison Love,
Speaker 1: which was gave us the quote of what I thought
Speaker 1: was gonna be the quote of the year where he
Speaker 1: said nobody knew that you know a minor was coming yet.
Speaker 1: But at the time when he said you have a
Speaker 1: strange alliance with losers and that is not like you,
Speaker 1: he was talking about the fact that like Faison, who
Speaker 1: played Big Worm and Friday, has never had no specials
Speaker 1: and just never that he because he's his point is,
Speaker 1: demand's not that funny. This happened and he was making
Speaker 1: all these kind of like wild, outlandish claims, and then
Speaker 1: video started surfacing where he was basically saying and said,
Speaker 1: been stealing jokes this whole time. He stole the whole
Speaker 1: show from Mark Curry, who we all loved, from a
Speaker 1: show called Hang Him On, Mister Cooper. And then all
Speaker 1: these clips of Sandy Entertainer actually ripping off jokes, and
Speaker 1: it was like wow, like wait a minute, none of
Speaker 1: us ever thought of that. And then he's making claims
Speaker 1: about him being able to run like a four point
Speaker 1: four forty yard dash, and then the video come out
Speaker 1: like that man really running that fast, and it was
Speaker 1: like nobody like just he wanted all. He came in
Speaker 1: hot and up couldn't keep up with him. So it
Speaker 1: set the tone for the entire year. And sometimes like
Speaker 1: people say, like people have been saying this all like
Speaker 1: again in the black spaces, like yo, we blaming this
Speaker 1: whole year on Cat Williams. Cat Williams was like, I'm
Speaker 1: spilling all the tea. I'm ready to be messy. Kat
Speaker 1: decided he had time and he's out, and I will
Speaker 1: argue this. He definitely set the tone for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. Now I can't blame everything else him,
Speaker 1: but I tell you what, that was prophetic. We should
Speaker 1: have known this year black people have decided we got
Speaker 1: time and we're gonna deal with our own here. There
Speaker 1: needed to be a reckoning with that. Now what he
Speaker 1: said about Kevin Hart, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: that part of the industry, but I do know that
Speaker 1: we was like, yo, this is a much better way
Speaker 1: of starting this year than we expected to or you know,
Speaker 1: because We're like, look a potential for January sixth, Part two,
Speaker 1: an electric Boogooroo January sixth. The potential is here. So
Speaker 1: we was already on edge, and I think that that
Speaker 1: might be a part of why we was like, all right, look, no,
Speaker 1: we're not playing around. So Kat Williams set us off.
Speaker 1: The next thing was Sean p Diddy, Puffy Combs, my gog. Next,
Speaker 1: all right, we're back. Let me back up a second
Speaker 1: to the Me Too movement. Now, remember, first of all,
Speaker 1: me too movement black woman who first coined the phrase.
Speaker 1: Just make sure let's remember that, because again blackness. The
Speaker 1: discussion among my world was the fact that me too
Speaker 1: hadn't touched hip hop yet, and when it does, my lord.
Speaker 1: That was you know, around the time that yeah, like
Speaker 1: me Too first kicked out, kicked off with the you know,
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein and came with everybody that you know, dropped off,
Speaker 1: the Matt Lowers of the world, all this stuff that
Speaker 1: was about powerful white dudes in corporate situations, you know,
Speaker 1: Bill Cosby of course, R Kelly, of course. But those
Speaker 1: were ones that like, yeah, we kind of already knew
Speaker 1: that's blackness, but I hadn't hitten hip hop. Yet one
Speaker 1: could argue that like R Kelly, but R Kelly as
Speaker 1: an R and B singer that's not specifically hip hop influence,
Speaker 1: is not hip hop okay. But because of the way
Speaker 1: that misogyny has played such a huge role in rap
Speaker 1: music and the history of how black women have bore
Speaker 1: the brunt of the emotional and spiritual heavy lifting within
Speaker 1: the black community, have been the first to protect black men,
Speaker 1: most of the time to their own detriment. Don't I
Speaker 1: try not to get into the battle of the sexes,
Speaker 1: but it's just that's just a reality. This isn't to
Speaker 1: drag black men. Listen, that's not what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: talking specifically about the experience of black women, whether we're
Speaker 1: look in that Megan thee Stallion situation, which the reality is,
Speaker 1: the more that we understand about kind of what happened,
Speaker 1: she she lied, of course out front, but she lied
Speaker 1: to protect Tory as in Tory Lanes, because she knows,
Speaker 1: like all black women in Memoriam, that if you turn
Speaker 1: black men over to them white people, they not gonna
Speaker 1: show them no mercy. And Megan from the streets, so like,
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't you don't snitch on the homies.
Speaker 1: You deal with it in house. Right, this point I'm
Speaker 1: making as far as like the historical precedents and trauma
Speaker 1: of saying, if we pop off about about these black men,
Speaker 1: they're gonna lynch him. They're gonna deal with this in
Speaker 1: a way that's gonna cause more damage to our community.
Speaker 1: So a lot of times black women in hopes to
Speaker 1: protect our children, to protect our community, and even to
Speaker 1: protect them is like they they take on, They take
Speaker 1: on a lot of the suffering. Also, we get so
Speaker 1: beat up as black men when we go outside by
Speaker 1: this dominant white culture, this white supremacist culture. We get
Speaker 1: beat up. By the time we go home, we ain't
Speaker 1: got nothing left and who's nursing us to health? And
Speaker 1: a lot of times taking the brunt of us not
Speaker 1: being able to express ourselves fully when we outside, Like
Speaker 1: we we I'm saying we because I'm talking about black men.
Speaker 1: We take it out on our ladies, super you know, fraudulent,
Speaker 1: coming at them sideways, finding our manliness, our masculinity, in
Speaker 1: our violence and in our sexual prowess. Like this is
Speaker 1: just this is just historical Black experience. This is kind
Speaker 1: of just what it's been like this is one of
Speaker 1: our maladies. Now, of course I'm speaking in a type
Speaker 1: of generality, but understand that like these are some of
Speaker 1: the pieces of trauma and PTSD that kind of sits
Speaker 1: in our bones and sits in our community. That being said,
Speaker 1: when we make our music, there is an understanding a
Speaker 1: lot of times that, look, we just out here that
Speaker 1: the music is the escapes. Sometimes it's the expression of
Speaker 1: what we're going through, and other times it's the escape
Speaker 1: or the hope of what we wish we were going through.
Speaker 1: Like when you take like the old school early hip
Speaker 1: hop rappers that were like Shaddy cooped the vial back then,
Speaker 1: they back cooped the vial. It's like, you don't these
Speaker 1: brothers lived in the projects, they didn't have they were
Speaker 1: driving O Coop the Vill's nigga. They was on the bus,
Speaker 1: the gold chains and all that stuff like this is
Speaker 1: us finding ways to find value. We understood in that
Speaker 1: sense that like yo, black men was a part of this.
Speaker 1: Now black women expressing their sexuality and there they're expressing themselves,
Speaker 1: whether it's twerking or the booty shaking and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Like back down South, they used to call it pussy popping.
Speaker 1: That was just the name. That was just what it
Speaker 1: was called, right, you know, And then he turned into
Speaker 1: the term twerk. But like black women expressing themselves, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's salt and pepper being like very sexualized for
Speaker 1: jj FAD, like they expressed themselves just like everybody else does.
Speaker 1: And that was again an understanding in hip hop. But
Speaker 1: then we started then it got weird because there was
Speaker 1: still a type of misogyny in the concept of hip hop.
Speaker 1: Bitches ain't shit but hose and tricks, right, like not
Speaker 1: saying suck that deck, it ain't no fun if the
Speaker 1: hummies came, have none and girls singing along. Now granted
Speaker 1: with an understanding that like you bet, and I wish
Speaker 1: Nigga would say that to me, like you bet, not
Speaker 1: actually ever say that to me? Yeah, like the fact
Speaker 1: that like Rhap City just put an album out and
Speaker 1: she's like, look, let me tell you why I'm not
Speaker 1: in your top five argument, it's because I don't have
Speaker 1: a dick. We make weird like everybody else. There are
Speaker 1: other there seventy cents to the dollar in hip hop,
Speaker 1: like women who are rapping, like why is why isn't
Speaker 1: Latifa Lil Kim, Foxy Brown MC light. Why are they
Speaker 1: not in the arguments for Mount Rushmore's. You know, people
Speaker 1: talking about Nikki now Nikki owe her career to little Kim, Like,
Speaker 1: let's be real, there would be no Megans, there would
Speaker 1: be none of that. It would be no Cardi B's
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for somebody like a little Kim. And
Speaker 1: then you take Rhap City. Who for me? I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know nobody rapping like Rhap City right now?
Speaker 1: Like there's again she The argument is she is right,
Speaker 1: she should be in the top five. We still have
Speaker 1: a problem with massogy, We still have a problem with patriarchy.
Speaker 1: We still don't understand this. That being said, it was
Speaker 1: understood and kind of like nobody's saying the quiet thing
Speaker 1: out loud. I feel like Charlommage and the God may
Speaker 1: have brought this up once that like wait till Me
Speaker 1: Two hits the hip hop community. It's because the music industry,
Speaker 1: specifically in hip hop, it is some weird, weird stuff
Speaker 1: that goes on, and a lot of it has to
Speaker 1: do with in my mind power. Before I get to that,
Speaker 1: there was an interview with IRV Gotti or No with
Speaker 1: Ashanti about IRV Gotti, you know over at Murder Inc.
Speaker 1: And some of this just horrible things he would say
Speaker 1: to her, like I made every nigga in the world.
Speaker 1: Won't a fuck you mind? I made you not even
Speaker 1: that cute, like just trash, just just things you would
Speaker 1: never say to a person, like unless you're a pimp.
Speaker 1: And then some of these niggas since they were kingmakers,
Speaker 1: just like Harvey Weinstein and them, like they were untouchable.
Speaker 1: You couldn't there was nothing you could say because if
Speaker 1: they blacklisted you, you was done. But finally somebody spoke
Speaker 1: of and it was Cassie p Ditty's girl, who was
Speaker 1: first of all, twenty years younger than him. So there's
Speaker 1: that right. But that being said, Cassie brought the indictment.
Speaker 1: But in the indictment, it brought a cascade of so
Speaker 1: many other things to the point to which Diddy's house
Speaker 1: was raided. Now this happened again at because black people
Speaker 1: decided we had time today. This happened at the same
Speaker 1: time that Beyonce dropped the Country out and we was
Speaker 1: like listen country black too, I'm tired of letting you
Speaker 1: yell because we got tired this year. I'm tired of
Speaker 1: letting y'all think that this your music. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's black too. Beyonce said, I'm reclaiming my time for
Speaker 1: all of us country music. Black do your homework. I
Speaker 1: got time. I'm making an album and I'm proven to
Speaker 1: y'all that's not your music. And look, Higo, one hundred
Speaker 1: other black country artists for you to check out who
Speaker 1: been putting in work. I'm here for them. This is
Speaker 1: all happening while we realizing what's going on with p Diddy,
Speaker 1: that that man was whooping her tail. And what was
Speaker 1: so interesting about that is like Diddy, he was the
Speaker 1: worst kept secret. Everybody knew this, you just don't say
Speaker 1: nothing about it. Black people decided they had time this year.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Somewhere in the spirit, like we heard
Speaker 1: the spirit talking, Ezekio saw the wheel my nigga man,
Speaker 1: that is a black church reference. What was the church reference?
Speaker 1: But like Ekyo Ezekio saw the whel way up in
Speaker 1: the middle of the air, Ezekielo saw the whel way
Speaker 1: in the middle of the air. If you know, you
Speaker 1: know now in this moment, it was not only what
Speaker 1: he was doing to her, but what was happening in
Speaker 1: his relationship to other young rappers, whether it was Meek
Speaker 1: Mill Usher. So now the rumors started started just going
Speaker 1: all over the place where Diddy was either making them
Speaker 1: commit sexual acts or they were like for him to watch,
Speaker 1: or he was actually doing it to them. It was
Speaker 1: understood that Diddy got cameras all over his house. And
Speaker 1: the understanding is he got cameras all over his house.
Speaker 1: Be so that nobody talks because I got you on camera.
Speaker 1: Now I'm telling you this story firsthand from one of
Speaker 1: my homies. I was there, so firsthand from his story.
Speaker 1: You'd be at one of his parties, somebody tap you
Speaker 1: on the shoulder and it's like, hey, it's probably you
Speaker 1: might want to go ahead and leave now. And as
Speaker 1: you seeing who coming in, that's your clue, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should probably bounce on me like this stuff and
Speaker 1: like thank God for that food. That's like, look, it's
Speaker 1: time for you to go because things got real hectic
Speaker 1: after that. Now inside of that indictment is that I
Speaker 1: mean there's photos of like you know, being like making
Speaker 1: young men force their penetration on other men, like all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff that was happening. It was like Nate
Speaker 1: was like curing itself because again, if you were in
Speaker 1: the music industry, you knew all this. You knew that
Speaker 1: these were the type of things that he did, But
Speaker 1: what we didn't know was what he was keeping quiet
Speaker 1: about his girl. Then CNN decided to be the shade rule, Like,
Speaker 1: it's so crazy, CNN, I like, I couldn't believe this.
Speaker 1: I saw a comedian just talk about this. Wait, what's
Speaker 1: the home girl name? Hold on, y'all, Monika Sanders, that's
Speaker 1: her name. She was like, listen. CNN decided that y'all
Speaker 1: don't watch the news anyway, y'all don't care about stuff
Speaker 1: that really that really go on, so we might as
Speaker 1: well show you the TMZ of it all. Just let's
Speaker 1: get messy. She was like, they own some nigga shit,
Speaker 1: which is hilarious because it's kind of true. Why is
Speaker 1: Diddy on CNN? And then as a bonus for all
Speaker 1: of us real ones, somebody messed up and booked Cameron
Speaker 1: to come talk about this thing. And apparently y'all forgot
Speaker 1: about Cameron on Bill O'Reilly, but they put her up
Speaker 1: against a black commentator on CNN that was like, and
Speaker 1: camera does what he does? He don't. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's the most so hard. Look y'all gotta go look
Speaker 1: at this clip of Cameron On. See it there he
Speaker 1: in Vegas City, like you know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't speak on like, I don't really
Speaker 1: know Diddy, So I wasn't even there. I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: like did you? Because the lady was like, yo, is
Speaker 1: this the Diddy you recognize? And He's like, got it.
Speaker 1: I ain't zoomed into the photo to see if I
Speaker 1: recognize him this Diddy. I mean, you know, I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't condone none of them actions, but all that
Speaker 1: like other stuff like I don't I wasn't there. He
Speaker 1: ain't doing I don't know that stuff. I don't know
Speaker 1: Diddy like that. She was like, were you was there
Speaker 1: a reputation around the industry about his behavior. He's like,
Speaker 1: are you really hanging with Diddy like that? Then he
Speaker 1: SIPs this Oh my god, he SIPs this alixir that
Speaker 1: like in New York that's like a thing you go
Speaker 1: get these like little like tincture, little juices that you
Speaker 1: would sip, and he goes, I'm sorry, I'm about to
Speaker 1: get some cheeks later, So I gotta, I gotta, I
Speaker 1: gotta sift this. And then he's like, yo, who's the
Speaker 1: talent agent? Why you got me on here? Speaking on Diddy?
Speaker 1: Just in it a disaster. But but it's so Cameron.
Speaker 1: That's how he be. He forget about Bill O'Reilly. Oh
Speaker 1: you mad, Oh you mad, you big mad. That's where
Speaker 1: we got that from, you, mad bro. It was Cameron
Speaker 1: on the Bill O'Reilly show. Oh my god, just greatness
Speaker 1: they got because let me back up. There was footage
Speaker 1: from a hotel where Diddy grossly abuses this young lady.
Speaker 1: She's trying to leave her hotel room. She's at the elevator.
Speaker 1: He follows her in a towel, no less, just nasty work,
Speaker 1: grabs her by the head, throws her down, kicks her,
Speaker 1: grabs her back. Just horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, this inexcusable.
Speaker 1: There's time where he sits down, he throws something at her.
Speaker 1: Nasty work, diabolical in a towel. Just hell is your problem?
Speaker 1: The word is he had paid that hotel fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to make sure that that don't go out. It
Speaker 1: got out. CNN got it. I don't know how they
Speaker 1: got it. But they got it and then they aired it.
Speaker 1: It was just funny because we were like, I was like,
Speaker 1: of all the people to get this in the air.
Speaker 1: It CNN, y'all supposed to be. I thought, y'all was
Speaker 1: the serious stuff. This is we're doing now we shade
Speaker 1: room now right, which is hilarious, But the brud needed
Speaker 1: to be aired out. It's been going on too long.
Speaker 1: Black people decided this year we got time now. He
Speaker 1: the next day puts up his apology. That was hard because,
Speaker 1: first of all, in his defense, he owned it all.
Speaker 1: There's no excuse. Well, I mean, what could you do.
Speaker 1: I mean you could be like Trump and be like
Speaker 1: that wasn't me, or it was y'all. Don't got the
Speaker 1: whole picture. You didn't see the whole situation. He was like, nah,
Speaker 1: that's inexcusable. There was no I was wrong. I was
Speaker 1: the darkest place I've ever been and essentially like, well,
Speaker 1: of course I tried to cover it up because it
Speaker 1: was dirty work and I'm ashamed, and yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: want it to get out because it would destroy me
Speaker 1: and it's embarrassing and it's wrong and I'm wrong. He
Speaker 1: said he's gone to therapy since and tried to make
Speaker 1: himself a better person, which you could discuss amongst yourselves
Speaker 1: how you feel about that. Maybe he did. I don't
Speaker 1: know him personally, and maybe it was like this was
Speaker 1: a dark moment. I just don't know personally how you
Speaker 1: can get to those moments. Aren't just isolated, like you
Speaker 1: build to that type of violence. It happens. Like my
Speaker 1: mom used to say, it's the little foxes. It's the
Speaker 1: little things. You know, you don't pull them little weeds earlier.
Speaker 1: You don't deal with them little things before they become
Speaker 1: big things, and then little things. Is the commentary that
Speaker 1: I want to talk to y'all about as somebody who
Speaker 1: understands politics and you being from the hood, you know,
Speaker 1: there's some people, and I think this was a prime
Speaker 1: example of that. They get off on power. Now him
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the gay stuff. I'm calling it
Speaker 1: that because I'm trying to speak hood. That's not what
Speaker 1: I mean by it. But follow me has converted the
Speaker 1: term pause to no ditty. So if you say something like, oh, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I was banging that fool hard no didty like you're
Speaker 1: it's it's a homophobic phrase. Pause is already homophobic. It's
Speaker 1: when you say something that sounds like, you know, sexual
Speaker 1: towards another man, you're supposed to be like pause, which
Speaker 1: is a visual which is a verbal representation of what'supposed
Speaker 1: what was supposed to be happening visually. That's where pause
Speaker 1: kind of came from. It's like when you accidentally say like, nah,
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, they want me to cut
Speaker 1: my message in half and give you the six inch,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna shove the whole foot long down your throat.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to like stop and look at each other
Speaker 1: with like big eyes, which is like pause, Like wait
Speaker 1: what I just say? Did that sound gay? So pause
Speaker 1: is already that. So now that's been and I think
Speaker 1: Mace coined it, which is its own funniness to be
Speaker 1: like nah, no ditty. So that's the homophobicness that's in
Speaker 1: our culture already. But sit that aside, okay, because it
Speaker 1: sucks that that's the one thing that niggas really got
Speaker 1: mad about was the gayness, not all the other stuff.
Speaker 1: The gayness. But now that the video came out, it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, fellas, like we really got to like this
Speaker 1: some bullshit. And in our defense, the general understanding of
Speaker 1: course this isn't the case with everything. If you like
Speaker 1: a real nigga, like I keep saying nigga because IM
Speaker 1: trying to get y'all to understand the way we talk
Speaker 1: like among our neighborhoods. A real man don't put their
Speaker 1: hands on no female stuff like that gets you. That
Speaker 1: gets you packed out, Like you don't put your hands
Speaker 1: on no female, like you're not a man. It's just
Speaker 1: so like there are certain things you don't you don't
Speaker 1: you don't touch no kids, and you don't hit no
Speaker 1: female like you just we just don't accept that. But
Speaker 1: the point I'm getting to here is niggas being like,
Speaker 1: oh if you just gay, you gay nigga, like you
Speaker 1: just on the gates, like just just you know, all
Speaker 1: the nigga gay. You know what I'm saying, Like why
Speaker 1: you front? Like, look, nigga, you gay? You gay? It's like, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand what's going on here. It's
Speaker 1: power some people. And understand this for your politics because
Speaker 1: if you understand this about people and about a person
Speaker 1: you talk to, you, then you can understand they moves
Speaker 1: and what they doing. You get off on power. So
Speaker 1: if you know you hold a person's career in your
Speaker 1: hands that you can make or break them. Then it's
Speaker 1: just it's almost erotic. It's like it's an arousal to
Speaker 1: flex that power because at that level of celebrity, you
Speaker 1: have essentially had sex with every prom queen in every city.
Speaker 1: You've had sex with every beauty pageant winner across the world.
Speaker 1: You've there is no there is no box you haven't visited.
Speaker 1: So it's like a beautiful woman just doesn't do it
Speaker 1: for you no more. Like it's the law of diminishing
Speaker 1: returns a lot of times with these people like it
Speaker 1: don't do it, Like there's what's the drive? The drive
Speaker 1: was to be famous. I'm already famous, okay. The drive
Speaker 1: was to bag the baddest chick. I've bagged the baddest
Speaker 1: chick and everything. What else is there? What else is it? Money?
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to spend the amount of money
Speaker 1: that I have now, I'll never be able to do it.
Speaker 1: Stuff don't get you off no more. And what gets
Speaker 1: him off is power is telling a young man who
Speaker 1: produced an amazing track that like, I'm not gonna put
Speaker 1: it out unless you suck my homeboys, dick, and I
Speaker 1: just want to watch it happen because I get off
Speaker 1: not on not on the homo eroticism, but on the power.
Speaker 1: Dudes get off on power, on the fact that I
Speaker 1: can say what I want to say to you and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do nothing because you know I'm a
Speaker 1: shot caller. You know I'll run the business, you know.
Speaker 1: So that turns them on because like, how why would
Speaker 1: you put your hands on somebody you love, especially especially
Speaker 1: if you're a strong man on a young female, Why
Speaker 1: would you date somebody that much younger than you? It's power?
Speaker 1: Power to why else? Because that's what turns That's what
Speaker 1: he enjoys. I'm not saying he did he because I
Speaker 1: don't know him, But I'm saying this is the type
Speaker 1: of behavior that that displays when people what they love
Speaker 1: is not the job. It's not that. What they get
Speaker 1: off on is power. And when you understand people like that,
Speaker 1: what makes them, what drives them crazy is when they
Speaker 1: lose power, is when they can't con troll the situation.
Speaker 1: When you become ungovernable, they could be mad all they
Speaker 1: won't like. Listen, if I'm in a room, I write
Speaker 1: a dope hug for somebody and he say Hey, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna do this, you know what I'm saying, unless
Speaker 1: you diddle this dude's booty. I'm gonna unplug my laptop
Speaker 1: and leave. And it's fine, it's okay if I'm not
Speaker 1: a start black lists me. I don't need this. So
Speaker 1: when you remove their oxygen tank of power, when they
Speaker 1: when they see that they don't have it, either they
Speaker 1: either black list you, block you off, or it makes
Speaker 1: them freakishly angry and they lose it. If Cassie left,
Speaker 1: he would lose power, and he desperately because no, we're
Speaker 1: still not talking about why Shine is in prison. All
Speaker 1: go do your googles power. So when you understand that
Speaker 1: about your politics, about what's happening across the world, about
Speaker 1: your Benjamin net and Yahoo's about all these different things happening,
Speaker 1: Like when people just they it's power. That's the drug,
Speaker 1: that's the aphrodijiac. So when I had to tell one
Speaker 1: of these ogs, I was in this conversation with like
Speaker 1: one of these all heads, and I was like, look, nigga,
Speaker 1: it's not I'm not I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's necessarily gay. First of all, there's such thing as bisexual,
Speaker 1: which blew this old hands mind. It was like wait,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, nigga, that's a thing you could
Speaker 1: be attracted to both because to the old head, if
Speaker 1: you like men's booties, you gay. That's just it to them.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you can like a lot. But my
Speaker 1: argument is he's not attracted to booties or titties. He's
Speaker 1: attracted to power. That's what gets him off. And then
Speaker 1: after we explained it, he was like, dang, yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it because dudes go to jail. How do you
Speaker 1: when you're raping another man in jail? It's not because
Speaker 1: it's you're expressing dominant and Black people was done dealing
Speaker 1: with this. We needed the nature to heal itself. It's
Speaker 1: too much at stake right now for y'all to be active. Christy.
Speaker 1: The next person that had time this year, which I
Speaker 1: don't need to get too deep into, is Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 1: We've already done a three episode, no four episodes about
Speaker 1: how again the culture decided we had time this. Okay, Listen,
Speaker 1: why I say this year was the year was because
Speaker 1: you have to remember, this is a ten to twelve
Speaker 1: year feud and apparently it involved the entirety of rap music. Everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody had a problem with Drake. The only person that
Speaker 1: ever say something slightly nice was twenty one Savage and
Speaker 1: what he said was like, man, I'm friends with both
Speaker 1: of them, which is when you are like, that's the
Speaker 1: reality when you family with everybody, like, that's your stance
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be to where you like, look, man, like,
Speaker 1: this ain't my fight. I'm friends with both of them.
Speaker 1: I hope they work it out, you know, and you
Speaker 1: could be truthful like Drake do some sideway stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't know Kendrick the way I know Drake. I hope
Speaker 1: they could work it out and it worked out. We
Speaker 1: have successfully identified what we mean by a culture vulture,
Speaker 1: by a colonizer, and we decided this year we just
Speaker 1: not gonna stand for it. You're not gonna causeplay And
Speaker 1: that's so crazy that like that's essentially what happened. It
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you know what, we got time this year.
Speaker 1: I'm addressing the cos player, I'm addressing the colonizer. Were
Speaker 1: kicking this ship out of the culture and Drake has
Speaker 1: become jaw Rule. Apparently we had time this year. Now
Speaker 1: we'll see how Drake comes back. Maybe we'll see what
Speaker 1: he does. I don't I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: how this turns out. I'm just saying this is a
Speaker 1: midyear reflection. And lastly, which is what made me decide
Speaker 1: to do this whole show, was the bleach blonde, bad built,
Speaker 1: butch body. Next. Okay, now, in a moment that would
Speaker 1: probably go down in black Twitter history, were it still
Speaker 1: a thing if Elon didn't break the app, I mean
Speaker 1: this would this would be like at the level of
Speaker 1: Meet Me in Temecula the Nigga Navy, which was really
Speaker 1: my favorite. Yeah, that was probably my favorite Black Twitter moment.
Speaker 1: This would go on in there. Do you guys know
Speaker 1: what the House Oversight Committee is? It's actually very important
Speaker 1: to the messiness of his story and why black people
Speaker 1: finally decided they had time and how that is completely
Speaker 1: manifested in Sweet Sister Jasmine. So when you become a
Speaker 1: congressman congresswoman and you join, when you join the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives, you got you have to join. You don't
Speaker 1: just get to be there. You got to join a clique.
Speaker 1: You have to join a committee you know, which I'm
Speaker 1: calling a click that serves on that serves different roles
Speaker 1: in the government for the actual use of goverment. Like
Speaker 1: that's what your job description is. You got to join
Speaker 1: a particular committee. So it's like that's the particular clique
Speaker 1: that you work with. It's like, look your group project, right,
Speaker 1: so there's the finance one. You know. Then you know
Speaker 1: they have you've heard things like like the Black Caucus
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. That's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I'm talking specifically about being in the House of Representatives
Speaker 1: or a congress person. This one is called the House
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, and the Oversight Committee their job is it's
Speaker 1: is exactly how it sounds. This is supposed to be
Speaker 1: for accountability among each other. Right, They provide oversight for
Speaker 1: the actions of elected officials and task force that have
Speaker 1: been put together, right, So they're a panel. So whenever
Speaker 1: you're seeing fools get grilled by like you see on
Speaker 1: the news, when you're seeing fools get grilled by the Congress,
Speaker 1: it's it's this. They put together subpoenas. They're able to say, Yo,
Speaker 1: you need to come in. You need to testify as
Speaker 1: to like, you know, what the hell was going on,
Speaker 1: Like you need to tell us what happened was and
Speaker 1: what your thinking was for why this was happening. Some
Speaker 1: of the more historical ones was around you know, the
Speaker 1: nine to eleven attacks, right, somebody had to talk to
Speaker 1: what was going on with like the avou Grand prison,
Speaker 1: Like how were there any leaks? Did anybody know what
Speaker 1: was going on? Stuff around Hurricane Katrina? Like why is
Speaker 1: there why did FEMA move so slowly? Like tell us,
Speaker 1: tell us what happened here? Right, So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things. Wwe was investigated by them, Like so you
Speaker 1: just we just need to know if it's a national situation,
Speaker 1: is there really a case here? And we could subpoena
Speaker 1: people to come talk to the government to just for
Speaker 1: us to know the people Michael Cohen had to sit
Speaker 1: in front of this is the Senate, this is the
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee for us to know, like how do
Speaker 1: we keep all this stuff accountable? Like now, like everything else,
Speaker 1: it's become freakishly partisan. If you can, as your party
Speaker 1: control who's in charge of what in the committee, then
Speaker 1: you get to pick the cases and how those come.
Speaker 1: Now right now, the majority in the Oversight Committee is Republican.
Speaker 1: The guy that sits as the chair is a man
Speaker 1: named James Comer from Kentucky. Who really a substitute teacher
Speaker 1: looking head ass like bruhs just everything he feels like
Speaker 1: he's he got dad jokes just like right out on
Speaker 1: the tip of his tongue at all times. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save the roaster for later anyway. Oh, another thing
Speaker 1: I could say too about the the Senate or the
Speaker 1: House Overside Committee is like on the sixteenth of May,
Speaker 1: so this just happened, right, they are holding Attorney General
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply
Speaker 1: with any subpoena issued by the Committee of Always. So
Speaker 1: this just happened. So they get the right to do
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like, Yo, we subpoenaed you. You saying no
Speaker 1: about it? Like we get to hold you in content,
Speaker 1: which is what this meeting we're about to talk about now.
Speaker 1: The meeting got off late because a lot of the
Speaker 1: old Trump heads was up in New York trying to
Speaker 1: defend you know, his Cheeto sell in his situation today
Speaker 1: was up in New York. The rest of the homies
Speaker 1: was on this City House I keep calling it Senate,
Speaker 1: this House Overside Committee, talking about can we hold Merrick
Speaker 1: Garland and content? So you're supposed to go back and
Speaker 1: forth about like are we down with this? Now? Enter
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, if you know her, which you should,
Speaker 1: I mean, she is a fully she's the fully evolved
Speaker 1: pokemon of white woman privilege. Like she's the I'm sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: she is the avatar of this. She worked the system
Speaker 1: to the system work for her because I really honestly
Speaker 1: don't really know what she believes or feels. I just
Speaker 1: know she's the queen of the wild. Takes extreme maga
Speaker 1: republican like to the point of where what she say
Speaker 1: don't make sense, like this ain't even conservative, this is
Speaker 1: just like I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: She has very little decorum because if you and this
Speaker 1: is just factual, because if you go back to the
Speaker 1: last two State of the Union's address, she booing, she
Speaker 1: popping off, she's interrupting the dude like just she pop
Speaker 1: off at all times. She's looking for the hot takes.
Speaker 1: She's always looking for a zinger. A lot of times
Speaker 1: she'd be incredibly conspiracy theory pilled, but she pop off
Speaker 1: because she got the back end of the big hommy
Speaker 1: y'all know what I mean by the big humpy and
Speaker 1: people a lot of times let hers lid because she
Speaker 1: famous like she's I mean, she's hot right now. She's like,
Speaker 1: let's be real, like in the world, she hot right now,
Speaker 1: and she's been hot for a while. Remember the whole
Speaker 1: fifty DIDJA thing I talked about a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and I was like, none of y'all counted for Margie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green. The girl knows how to get a headline
Speaker 1: and how how she does this is in these meetings
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be rather boring and procedural. She
Speaker 1: pops off, it's been real late they at this meeting,
Speaker 1: and she continue to interrupt the meeting, asking questions that
Speaker 1: really ain't got nothing to do what we talking about?
Speaker 1: So she out of nowhere asked this question of the
Speaker 1: of the panel, are any of the Democrats employing Judge
Speaker 1: Marshan's daughter? Who is Judge Marshan? Doesn't matter for the story,
Speaker 1: because it don't matter for the hearing either. Now you
Speaker 1: hear what obviously is a black woman, which which you
Speaker 1: can safely assume is Jasmine Crockett off camera because this
Speaker 1: is all this is all recorded, because it has to be,
Speaker 1: so it's off camera. You hear what is clearly a
Speaker 1: black woman, say please tell me what this has to
Speaker 1: do with Mary Garland essentially like hefa, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you talking about? And then you hear which is
Speaker 1: the funniest the second funniest thing in this clip is
Speaker 1: you hear James Comer. Remember I told you substitute your
Speaker 1: head ass? Like goes is she a porn star? Like? What?
Speaker 1: And people is all like is she advising her? What? Like?
Speaker 1: What is she talking about? Like you can hear the
Speaker 1: sound of blackness being like, what is this? What do
Speaker 1: you know what we're here for? Does she know what
Speaker 1: we're here for? Like, just like can you believe us? Half? Like,
Speaker 1: what is you talking about? So, but she's on mike
Speaker 1: because it's just like, what's happening right now? What? So
Speaker 1: that was strike one. So then Marjorie pops off with
Speaker 1: her finger, Oh, oh you know, do we know what
Speaker 1: you do? You know what you're here for? She goes, no,
Speaker 1: do you know what you're here for? Then she makes
Speaker 1: her fatal mistake. I think your fake eyelashes is getting
Speaker 1: in the way. And then that's when the gavel hits
Speaker 1: old order Order Order, So they like, mister chairman, can
Speaker 1: you get a hold of your community. Can you get
Speaker 1: your girl? Because she talking out her neck and the
Speaker 1: whole room's like, oh, like yo, what is why are
Speaker 1: you popping off? And Marjorie real proud of herself, like
Speaker 1: oh boom roasted, like she proud of herself at this moment.
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny watching all the clerks come and wild.
Speaker 1: The guy that's supposed to be in charge, he needed
Speaker 1: to check the playbook, like wait, can you are you
Speaker 1: allowed to say this? Can you talk like that? Do
Speaker 1: we need to strike this? I wait? What are the
Speaker 1: rules right now? Like the nigga confused cuz cause he like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what we supposed to do right now?
Speaker 1: What right? And then the whole girl, the hall girl,
Speaker 1: Jenny from the block, you know what I'm saying. The
Speaker 1: hall girl AOC is like hot, jumps in and is like, yo, hey,
Speaker 1: do we got like a point of order? Like yo,
Speaker 1: do we got a point of order? And then one
Speaker 1: white boy kind of steps in and he's asking about
Speaker 1: financing stuff, which really was him trying to get his
Speaker 1: bars off too, and AOC you hear her in the
Speaker 1: back like, yo, that's that's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. She goes,
Speaker 1: you know what, Actually, I have a point of order,
Speaker 1: like a person who actually understands how the rules work.
Speaker 1: She finally started talking. She was like, listen, I removed.
Speaker 1: My point of order is that the parliamentarian strikes the
Speaker 1: words of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green because that is disgusting.
Speaker 1: You not allowed to talk about somebody's body like this, man,
Speaker 1: strike this from the record. She like, that's absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1: Marley Treyley Treen popping off like, oh are your feelings hurt?
Speaker 1: All like just completely out of pocket. But again, stay
Speaker 1: with me. Now. Most of the time, we ain't got
Speaker 1: time for none of this. So when she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: are your feelings hurt, Ao was like, oh girl, baby, girl,
Speaker 1: Like basically like, girl, you listen. If you only knew
Speaker 1: I just did this show. This is a side note,
Speaker 1: but it's very important. I just did this this show
Speaker 1: at Joseph Harp Correctional Facility prison at Okay See performed
Speaker 1: out there, and I was talking to the brus about
Speaker 1: about having inner piece, about like what's going on in
Speaker 1: your own head and that you know, you deserve to
Speaker 1: have that type of piece and whatever work you gotta do. Man,
Speaker 1: I encourage you to do that work right, to get
Speaker 1: that piece inside your head, because a lot of times
Speaker 1: people see us and they think, and especially you, because
Speaker 1: y'all are here, they think y'all crazy. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you only know what I tell you if you like,
Speaker 1: you don't know what I don't say, Like if y'all knew,
Speaker 1: if y'all knew what I was keeping on myself, oh baby,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. You don't know half of the crazy. So essentially,
Speaker 1: what AOC is saying is like, oh, baby, girl, oh
Speaker 1: if you only knew how much I hold back, like
Speaker 1: and look and right now, who she was talking who
Speaker 1: who Marjorie was talking about was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She
Speaker 1: was talking about her black woman, young black lady. She
Speaker 1: was talking about her. But AOC jumps in and was like, hell,
Speaker 1: oh hell no, right, and the white boys still can't
Speaker 1: figure out how to get ordered right, which is so
Speaker 1: funny to me. But again, none of them can control Marjorie.
Speaker 1: She do whatever she won't. But yeah, AOC like, listen, baby,
Speaker 1: don't even play, like, don't play with me. You have
Speaker 1: to understand for a person of color, if a woman
Speaker 1: of color, I'm gonna say specifically black or Latina if
Speaker 1: she say don't play with me right, you need to stop.
Speaker 1: Kendrick had a song on Damn that said stop playing
Speaker 1: with me for I turn you to a song he's
Speaker 1: talking about Drake, stop playing with me. That for black people,
Speaker 1: that's your last warning. When white people say you're on
Speaker 1: thin ice bucko, that is the black version of that
Speaker 1: stop playing with me. That means you understand what it means.
Speaker 1: So Ao's like, hey, don't play right. So somebody seconds
Speaker 1: the motion that like I second the motion that those
Speaker 1: words are struck, and the people running it is still confused.
Speaker 1: That's the funniest part. They looking at documents like wait,
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do? How do we do
Speaker 1: this right? They have lost all control of this. Mug
Speaker 1: AOC is like, I'm not having it. That is unacceptable.
Speaker 1: We're striking that. That is no way in the world
Speaker 1: that's going in the record. But they're like, but they
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it. So they're like, oh okay,
Speaker 1: So they get the director. The leaders get the director.
Speaker 1: It's like, do you agree to strike your words from
Speaker 1: the record. Margie Taylor Green was like, I get like,
Speaker 1: I still have four minutes of twenty second, which, as
Speaker 1: a side note, was like, nigga, you've been talking this
Speaker 1: whole time and none of it has been your time,
Speaker 1: So what are you talking about? Right, But forget that part.
Speaker 1: She goes, yeah, yeah, I agree to strike it. AOC's like,
Speaker 1: you need to apologize, you're out of line, and she's like,
Speaker 1: I ain't apologizing, Like no, if they could cuss, it
Speaker 1: had been like, no, bitch, you need to apologize. Like
Speaker 1: I can hear those words in there. It's not happening
Speaker 1: there because somebody trying to be a professional. And then
Speaker 1: Margie Taylor was like, why don't you debate me? AOC
Speaker 1: was like, it's evan and you ain't got the intelligence
Speaker 1: for that. And so this is all happening while while
Speaker 1: the White boys is still trying to get ordered. Hey,
Speaker 1: like I haven't even recognized you, blah blah blah. Right,
Speaker 1: so all this has happening. They don't know how to work,
Speaker 1: they don't know how the laws work, they don't know
Speaker 1: the rules. It's too confusing. We never been in this situation.
Speaker 1: So he finally's like, okay, okay, everybody, okay, calm down, miscreen.
Speaker 1: We got two points of order. Everybody popping off. We
Speaker 1: want to strike AOC's word. We want to strike margitar.
Speaker 1: We got two points order, y'all. It's like, okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: every I called down, everybody, everybod shout up, shut uphut up,
Speaker 1: shut and shut up. Do you agree humanimously to strike
Speaker 1: your words, Margie Taylor Green? Yes, but I'm not apologizing
Speaker 1: these people be heard off words. He's like, ma'am, oh
Speaker 1: my god, do you agree to just strike the word?
Speaker 1: That's all I need from you, and then here go
Speaker 1: to order. We're gonna do this. Then we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you. You're gonna agree to this, and we're gonna give you
Speaker 1: four minutes. She's like, okay, word. Then you hear Jasmine
Speaker 1: speak up, which I bet you, y'all listen, if I
Speaker 1: could only have been sitting next to her at this time,
Speaker 1: let me tell you how hard we be laughing right now.
Speaker 1: So she says, my request for you right now is
Speaker 1: to just take a second and do your googles about
Speaker 1: miss Jasmine's bona fides, to just know how unbelievably intelligent
Speaker 1: this woman is. Now, okay, I have a point of order.
Speaker 1: They was like, who this jazz? Okay? Miss Crockett. She said,
Speaker 1: I just need some clarity. I just want to know
Speaker 1: if if someone were to start talking about a bleach blonde,
Speaker 1: bad built, butch body, that that would be a point
Speaker 1: of contention, Like, am I allowed to say that Jake's
Speaker 1: cobrag a what? Now? Listen, First of all, the alliteration
Speaker 1: number two. It's an alliteration that was probably off the
Speaker 1: head that she probably just thought of right there. Like
Speaker 1: because the asylum that black people was raised in, if
Speaker 1: there's anything we do well is we're gonna roast the
Speaker 1: hell out of you. You have no chances when it
Speaker 1: comes to getting roasted with us. We are just too
Speaker 1: good at this. This is our You have to understand
Speaker 1: the way we was because we get it from every angle.
Speaker 1: You get roasted from your cousins younger than you, You
Speaker 1: get roasted from your mama, your aunties, your uncles, your granddaddy,
Speaker 1: your grandma, every We we know how to clap back.
Speaker 1: There is never a situation where I'm not gonna figure
Speaker 1: out a way to clap back at you. We are
Speaker 1: too good at this. And again, what I keep trying
Speaker 1: to say to you when we say because AOC started it, like,
Speaker 1: don't play is you don't understand what I'm not saying
Speaker 1: to you. You have no idea because of the angry
Speaker 1: black woman thing. It's the same thing that happens as
Speaker 1: an angry black man because of that's that stereotype. The
Speaker 1: amount of control we have to have, the amount of
Speaker 1: biting of tongue because when you get to pop off
Speaker 1: as much as you want, but when I defend myself
Speaker 1: or when I pop off, I'm an angry black person.
Speaker 1: But sometimes we got time. Sometimes it's time for you
Speaker 1: to learn a lesson. You remember the fade in the water,
Speaker 1: the Montgomery, Alabama situation. We had time that day. There
Speaker 1: are times that we have time that is like, no,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is gonna stop today. You're gonna
Speaker 1: stop playing with me. So that's what seriously has happening.
Speaker 1: But she does it. Like I said, how black we
Speaker 1: could be very unserious about serious things and be serious
Speaker 1: about it. So what she gonna say is like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you got an issue with my eyelasses. You don't understand
Speaker 1: how hot I could get on your girl. I could
Speaker 1: cook you so bad right now. You don't even know
Speaker 1: like there was a be missing obviously, because we know
Speaker 1: how to control ourselves, but your little tail if we're
Speaker 1: gonna start talking about bodies, and they were like, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: you're out of Like She's like, look, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to understand cause she gets to talk about she gets
Speaker 1: to talk about eyelashes. I just want to know what's
Speaker 1: appropriate or not cuz if so, so do I need
Speaker 1: to apologize. So I should apologize about that? Right? Is
Speaker 1: that the decorum? Is that what we're doing here. So
Speaker 1: essentially it's like listen, ma'am, And this is the lesson
Speaker 1: that I cannot tell you how often in every household,
Speaker 1: if you a real one and you got children, you've
Speaker 1: had to tell your younglings. Do not dish out what
Speaker 1: you cannot take. If you can't take it, don't give it,
Speaker 1: because oh I'm a serve it full for you. So
Speaker 1: do not dish out what you can't take. Black people decided.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm about done with you. You coming into
Speaker 1: my playing field right now. You not allowed to pop
Speaker 1: off no more because if you pop off again, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna roast you even worse. You think I'm worried about
Speaker 1: these white boys, ma'am, stop playing with me. And you
Speaker 1: see the senator sitting next to sitting next to James Covert,
Speaker 1: trying not to laugh, laugh, ho, this is amazing. But
Speaker 1: then the white lady gets to The white lady get
Speaker 1: to be like listen, calm down, calm down. She get
Speaker 1: to call us the angry one, and she's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, you want to smoke. Trying to get some clarification.
Speaker 1: Can we talk like this? Is we allowed to because
Speaker 1: you wouldn't apologizing. You don't think you're wrong. So I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to understand if this where we go, and
Speaker 1: if we're gonna get down, we're gonna get in. And
Speaker 1: again the white boys done lost control, and Margie Screen's
Speaker 1: still popping off, like calm down, I can't hear you
Speaker 1: of your anger. She's still popping off about AOC. And
Speaker 1: then AOC come back and like, hold up, I move
Speaker 1: to strike her words a second time because of the
Speaker 1: derogatory thing she's saying about a second person. Listen, black
Speaker 1: and brown unity out this mug. That's how we roll, y'all. Listen,
Speaker 1: we got time this year, so they can't even get
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And AOC gotta explain the rules to
Speaker 1: the guy that's supposed to be a charge. She's like, listen,
Speaker 1: I know you saying that she recognized for her four
Speaker 1: minutes and twenty seconds. The problem is she can't talk
Speaker 1: yet because you don't know the rules. There is a
Speaker 1: motion to strike her words the second ones. She's still
Speaker 1: popping off about me. That needs to get struck before
Speaker 1: you can recognize her. You have to acknowledge this. How
Speaker 1: why am I explaining the rules to you? Usually you
Speaker 1: just let pettiness be pettiness because we keep our eyes
Speaker 1: on the prize. But sometimes you gotta pop out and
Speaker 1: show me. We got time this year and it's only
Speaker 1: this is only June, and I cannot be more proud
Speaker 1: how these black and brown women are showing up. So
Speaker 1: let's just see, man. I hope hopefully we keep this
Speaker 1: same energy. You know, this is the look. I love it.
Speaker 1: We got time this year politics, y'all. All right, now,
