Speaker 1: The quest Left show is a production of iHeart Radio. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was going to avoid this question, So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Like I initially, I initially had so many musical questions,
Speaker 1: but because I didn't know you as a human being,
Speaker 1: I wanted to go through that route and just ask
Speaker 1: about your life as a human and a creator.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to close on.
Speaker 1: This last question, which is, how does it feel well
Speaker 1: to see something that you created, as in three words,
Speaker 1: that suddenly becomes all my It's like you you named
Speaker 1: this period like when we look at the time period
Speaker 1: when we speak of, uh, the Jim Crow period, when
Speaker 1: we speak of the civil rights period, when we speak
Speaker 1: of the reconstruction period, we will probably call the twenties.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know the word woke is
Speaker 1: going to to enter the lexicon when it comes to
Speaker 1: like describing it. What point did you realize, Holy shit,
Speaker 1: this like when I realized that, you know, white political
Speaker 1: pundits were now using it, when our enemies were using
Speaker 1: it especially I.
Speaker 2: Kept saying, right.
Speaker 1: But I kept saying, like God, I pray to Guy
Speaker 1: that Georgia like trademark that word so that it stays
Speaker 1: with her. When did you first coin the term was
Speaker 1: it when you were doing Master Teacher or like how
Speaker 1: did it?
Speaker 2: How did it come to be?
Speaker 3: It's so interesting, right because just even with Massive Teacher, right,
Speaker 3: like that song, like that was a day before I
Speaker 3: had a nervous breakdown, Like if I meant anything, I
Speaker 3: said it that day, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3: So like if I meant anything, if I was like
Speaker 3: about it, like so many times I be so cringey
Speaker 3: about that song because like of what would happen the
Speaker 3: day after I made that song, you know, and it
Speaker 3: and I think that that's something so beautiful because it's
Speaker 3: like when you mean something so much, anything can happen.
Speaker 3: When you're actually cheating yourself, anything can happen. And so
Speaker 3: the state of Walk came from me and Lakeisha Benjamin
Speaker 3: being in New York in school trying to figure out
Speaker 3: how we're gonna get it out through the music like
Speaker 3: Cold Trane and and like you know, getting it out
Speaker 3: through the music, finding language for what it is that
Speaker 3: we're experiencing, you know. And at that time, Lakeisha Benjamin, I,
Speaker 3: like you know, we were jam session mates, you know,
Speaker 3: because I decided to drop out of the jazz program
Speaker 3: to just go learn by just being put in the blender, you.
Speaker 4: Know, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but she graduated.
Speaker 5: I ain't graduate.
Speaker 3: So it was just like those things was just like
Speaker 3: it was wild because there were certain things that the
Speaker 3: composition teacher didn't know what to tell me what my
Speaker 3: chords were, and it was all types of weird stuff
Speaker 3: going on like that. I'm just sat in the stage
Speaker 3: for coming from a community as you well know, like
Speaker 3: being from Philly. You know what I'm saying, Gamble up,
Speaker 3: somebody got a coofy on. Like it's like it's like
Speaker 3: somebody got consciousness, you know what I'm saying. Oh, Jay's
Speaker 3: got animal rights songs, they got chugarhoy, they got branded.
Speaker 3: It's like they're going through the whole gamut of like
Speaker 3: every walk.
Speaker 4: A lot, you feel me.
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying it like because you're on my side,
Speaker 3: you feel me, decided to put you there. But like
Speaker 3: coming from the Mert Park where it's like like coming
Speaker 3: from the world stage, like my dad owned like a
Speaker 3: coop for every day of the year. Jazz or it's
Speaker 3: so called jazz right was never not an afrocentric expression
Speaker 3: in my whole life. It was always an afrocentric expression.
Speaker 3: It was always a diaspora, you know, a gem of
Speaker 3: the diaspora. It was never a question of is jazz
Speaker 3: even black. So when I go to school and they
Speaker 3: go like, jazz isn't black at all, I have to
Speaker 3: stand up and be like, sir, you lying. Children are
Speaker 3: from Japan and different parts of the world because they
Speaker 3: want to learn the truth. They're paying you to tell
Speaker 3: the truth, and now you're not telling the truth, so and.
Speaker 5: I have to tell you the truth.
Speaker 4: So it's like this was woke.
Speaker 3: Okay, this was the same thing as not pledging allegiance
Speaker 3: in school, you know, and like it was like the
Speaker 3: build up of that time at the time going to
Speaker 3: MARCHI again's occupation in Palestine as a child in elementary school,
Speaker 3: junior hi, you know, all of that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: like being politically active since birth, right, going like, well,
Speaker 3: how does this translate into tones? Right? So we're like
Speaker 3: talking and talking for like a long conversation like this one,
Speaker 3: but even longer. Yeah, like marathon conversation. I'm going to
Speaker 3: see her tomorrow, but we're trying to get to the
Speaker 3: bottom of it because it was like there is a
Speaker 3: translation for this and so but we couldn't get down
Speaker 3: to the bottom of it in the night, so Keisha,
Speaker 3: of course would be the first one to fall asleep,
Speaker 3: and then she'd be like, yo, I'm trying to stay woke.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm trying to stay woke, but I'm I'm
Speaker 5: passing out. I'm like, yo, I'll trying to stay woke.
Speaker 3: And for me, I was in the thing just as
Speaker 3: a visual I've been always been a visual artist. So
Speaker 3: what I would do is is somebody said something cool
Speaker 3: like it was like my it was like my visual
Speaker 3: Prince Paul, the way I could take a snapshot out
Speaker 3: of something I love so much, I write it on
Speaker 3: my clothes, just as like it's like I write on
Speaker 3: my clothes, or like if like my roommate say Dancy
Speaker 3: Dancy and I wrote it. I wrote my clothes Dancy Dancy,
Speaker 3: you know. And I remember she's like, heyo, you're making
Speaker 3: me cringe with that shit stopped that ship.
Speaker 5: I'm like no, no, like no, this is part of
Speaker 5: my thoughts, Like shut up, you're right.
Speaker 3: So it was like that's what it was. But I
Speaker 3: remember very vividly I wrote stay Woke with a kiddie
Speaker 3: marker on this old white t shirt, you know, and
Speaker 3: it was just right there over my heart, and I
Speaker 3: remember I wrote it as a reminder not to kill myself,
Speaker 3: you know. I wrote it as a reminder to like
Speaker 3: survive the day that, don't kill yourself yet you know,
Speaker 3: stay woke. Like yeah, it was definitely like during those moments,
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean. And just the sheer
Speaker 3: amount of volume in my lifetime of these black student
Speaker 3: union programs having their fundraising T shirts be saying stay woke,
Speaker 3: and it's like the NASA logo and they sample, like
Speaker 3: they sample and logos and then say stay woke. The
Speaker 3: amount of stay woke shirts, like even before the politicians
Speaker 3: did it, it was the student the students that did it,
Speaker 3: the black students. That when I saw that coming back
Speaker 3: at me, I said, whoa, it was real like there
Speaker 3: had been a transmission made, you know. And that's where
Speaker 3: I just have such a love for like being kind
Speaker 3: of person what concepts me more than me than like
Speaker 3: than exposure. You know, I care more about what people
Speaker 3: care about themselves. I care more about what people think
Speaker 3: about themselves than I do. What they think of me
Speaker 3: or if they know me. I want to know that
Speaker 3: if after I've been here on this planet, that they
Speaker 3: people have strived to know theirself more that they know
Speaker 3: who they are. They they value that they're special, that
Speaker 3: their uniqueness is intrinsic to the elevation of us coming
Speaker 3: together as a whole in a permanent, conscious, every day,
Speaker 3: every moment kind of way. Well, if you don't love yourself,
Speaker 3: you can't do that as a group, you know. So
Speaker 3: I care more about that, you know. So in that
Speaker 3: care when you see there's flashes of that kind of care,
Speaker 3: that just like thing and it really happens that way.
Speaker 3: It's wonderful. And then when people who are subscribed to
Speaker 3: whiteness as a religious spirit, you know, with the religious
Speaker 3: spirit of whiteness, when they say that they hate me,
Speaker 3: then I'm like, that means I'm doing everything right.
Speaker 4: This is great. You know.
Speaker 3: It's the new nigga where it's like they could say woke.
Speaker 3: They call somebody woke and wokeism is killing America. I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is one Like I love that like for me,
Speaker 3: because the deal is, you know what, for me, it
Speaker 3: was too for real mirrors Like yo, I got songs
Speaker 3: about Venezuela that's like, you know, seventeen years old, like
Speaker 3: you know, I really do. So I went through a
Speaker 3: lot of intimidation under like behind the radar. I went
Speaker 3: through a lot of different things like that, you know,
Speaker 3: but I still get small because I'm still alive. They
Speaker 3: can't do nothing to me, you know. So it's like
Speaker 3: going through those things, right when they say that, that
Speaker 3: verifies those things like yeah, yeah, you can't even hold
Speaker 3: that back. Oh I do scare you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And and the part that's scaries that there's more of
Speaker 3: me everywhere. There's more people who have taken creative licenses
Speaker 3: to be all of who they are, you know, and
Speaker 3: to not withhold their blackness for love, you know, not
Speaker 3: with their self love right, the love of themselves so
Speaker 3: that someone else can love them. Because now it's all
Speaker 3: following apart. It's like, you know, if everybody focus on
Speaker 3: loving themselves more than we wouldn't have this drama. People
Speaker 3: wouldn't be hurting other people. You do your personal growth exercise,
Speaker 3: you know, you figure out what's wrong with you. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, And sometimes you got to call
Speaker 3: for help and get to figure out what's wrong with you.
Speaker 3: But that's a way of loving yourself instead of hurting people.
Speaker 3: And so I just always hope that for me, woke
Speaker 3: mean to be undomesticated. You know, your awareness is undomesticated.
Speaker 3: You know, there's something of a bit wild and feral
Speaker 3: about you that hopes for good things.
Speaker 6: So I heard this clip of Georgia Animaldreaux and you're
Speaker 6: asking her about coining the term woke. Yeah, the turn
Speaker 6: has become so synonymous with our age and just how
Speaker 6: she feels about the scale that that's taken on and
Speaker 6: the story of the the original Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that answer, and you know, because I'll
Speaker 1: admit that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So oftentimes the gatekeeping issue of like this language.
Speaker 2: Of black folks, like once it enters the.
Speaker 4: Mainstream John for instance, Yeah, then.
Speaker 1: Suddling, it's over, Like it's over, you know, close the
Speaker 1: shop up. But now I feel like some sort of
Speaker 1: like renewed sense of purpose of keeping it in with purpose,
Speaker 1: you know, now that I know her definition of it,
Speaker 1: of it all and of course at its ugliest, currently
Speaker 1: being used as a way to weaponize or to describe,
Speaker 1: you know, I.
Speaker 2: Guess the coloquialism of just what we're supposed to.
Speaker 1: You know, you hear woke politics or you know, but.
Speaker 6: It's interesting too, because what when people are railing against
Speaker 6: woke politics, they're like railing against humanism. Yeah, liket, they're
Speaker 6: railing against caring about people who don't look like safe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a safe way.
Speaker 6: It's the new inward right. I mean what in word
Speaker 6: was for the nineties or whatever. Now it's like woke politics,
Speaker 6: which you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again hearing her describe what that means to
Speaker 1: her and how that like saved her life, like.
Speaker 4: Kind of literally saved their life.
Speaker 6: And I know Georgia personally, she talked in that clip
Speaker 6: about running around in the Myrt Park. I used to
Speaker 6: run around the Murt Park with her, Like we go
Speaker 6: back years and years and years. And when she said
Speaker 6: that about like she wrote that to like stay alive.
Speaker 6: She wrote that to give her fuel to not kill herself.
Speaker 6: Like I felt that so deeply because she's she's like
Speaker 6: that kind of person. Like you know, there are people
Speaker 6: in life that are just fireballs, like they are just
Speaker 6: made of energy from somewhere else and they don't belong
Speaker 6: here on this plane in this time. And a lot
Speaker 6: of times, like people like that, with that purity of spirit,
Speaker 6: they struggle to exist in this world. And it's amazing
Speaker 6: that in her challenge to stay connected to people, she
Speaker 6: comes up with a term like that, captures it and
Speaker 6: gives it to the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, she gets all the gratitude for
Speaker 1: me for that. And again, normally slang, especially now might
Speaker 1: only slang used to last.
Speaker 2: For two years.
Speaker 6: When's the last time you were at six seven? So well,
Speaker 6: I watch a lot of NBA basketball. So whenever they
Speaker 6: still doing that, whenever they cut to the to the
Speaker 6: little kids at the.
Speaker 4: Game, they they don't like, they don't, they don't know.
Speaker 6: It's like how they used to floss dance ten years
Speaker 6: ago just because they didn't know what else to do
Speaker 6: with their bodies. It's like that kind of thing. Now
Speaker 6: that's what they're It's a default. Got you Yeah, so
Speaker 6: for you, what does the term mean now?
Speaker 2: For you? Personally?
Speaker 6: I only see people saying it now in a negative connotation.
Speaker 6: I only see it on Twitter. I only see it
Speaker 6: like or hear it when somebody who I don't agree
Speaker 6: with is talking about politics or media like it's a
Speaker 6: terrible sort of claiming that they've made of It reminds
Speaker 6: me of like hotep, like that term used.
Speaker 2: To miss Chicago.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's Chicago. I first started hearing
Speaker 6: it in college. I went to Southern Illinois University, so
Speaker 6: it was people from Chicago, people from Saint Louis, but
Speaker 6: it was just a type of person like the hit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I remember Erica playing it for me maybe two
Speaker 1: months before the album came out, And you know, there's
Speaker 1: there's two parts of that song. It's a six to
Speaker 1: seven maybe six or seven minute song, and initially when
Speaker 1: she was playing it, like I was totally missing it
Speaker 1: because the first half of the song is just chaotic
Speaker 1: in its arrangement, like you know, Erica Georgia creative Partners
Speaker 1: like that whole creative circle.
Speaker 2: Yeah that that that that system.
Speaker 1: And of course the second half, which is just Erica
Speaker 1: James Poyson Blaw doing a slow down somba version of it,
Speaker 1: That's when I really like locked into it, yeah, and
Speaker 1: and then absorbed the song that way. It's you know,
Speaker 1: Master Teacher used to always that was like my favorite
Speaker 1: cut on that record. It's weird, like I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone has We're not mating people credit that song or
Speaker 1: Eric Abadu as the originator behind it.
Speaker 6: I mean, but it's much like six seven in that way,
Speaker 6: right where it's this cultural language that everybody's using, but
Speaker 6: nobody even questions where it came from most of the time.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think people know.
Speaker 1: I'm very slow in trying to not make it like
Speaker 1: the self congratulatory thing.
Speaker 4: All I do know is that.
Speaker 1: You know, it had a life of its own, like
Speaker 1: at the height of Okay players powers as far as
Speaker 1: the boards are concerned, like it lived there. And then,
Speaker 1: of course two thousand and six to two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight was around the time when people
Speaker 1: started migrating from Okay Player and just going to Twitter,
Speaker 1: which really starts the genesis of what we now turn.
Speaker 2: Black Twitter or whatever.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, once I saw used outside of the
Speaker 1: Okay Player circle, that's when even I was amazed that,
Speaker 1: like the viralness of it, because I just thought it
Speaker 1: was just inside speak that.
Speaker 6: But then and then the Childish Gambino song, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean, and that I think that really puts I.
Speaker 2: Totally forgot about that part.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, that put it in the stratosphere. And then
Speaker 6: everybody was like whatever that moment was, everybody glombed on
Speaker 6: to the term I feel like after.
Speaker 1: That, right, oh yeah, well then it got nashed on
Speaker 1: and then overused and whatnot. Do you find yourself using
Speaker 1: it ever and just your everyday talking vernacular?
Speaker 6: But I'm not sure I ever did, though. Do you
Speaker 6: feel like you have permission to use it or not? Well,
Speaker 6: I feel like if I'm using it, then I'm using
Speaker 6: it in that intentionally political way that sort of removed
Speaker 6: from the original meaning, Like like the original meaning was
Speaker 6: just kind of like stay away, stay aware, yeah, stay aware, right,
Speaker 6: you know, But like now it's got all of this,
Speaker 6: it's got different levels of culture all rolled into it now,
Speaker 6: so that when you say it, it now touches on
Speaker 6: the way that most people use it now, which is
Speaker 6: that negative connotation that political. So in this tug of war,
Speaker 6: should we try to hang on with all of our
Speaker 6: might or just like that's that's And that takes me
Speaker 6: back to the hotep thing where I remember I had
Speaker 6: an argument on Twitter with somebody.
Speaker 2: Someone call you a hotel.
Speaker 6: No, nobody eould call me a hotel. But I was
Speaker 6: arguing with somebody on Twitter. And this had to be
Speaker 6: like twenty eleven, twenty twelve or something like that, when
Speaker 6: it was first being introduced to me that some people
Speaker 6: within our community that had values that I didn't align
Speaker 6: with were calling themselves that like they were they were
Speaker 6: claiming the negative common connotation of it and calling themselves that.
Speaker 2: Do you know the origins of it?
Speaker 6: I don't know the actual I know how I first
Speaker 6: heard it, I don't know the actual origin.
Speaker 2: The first time I heard it common rhyme on it.
Speaker 4: On Ghetto Heaven, he said, hoole tep.
Speaker 1: That's the first time I heard it used in the
Speaker 1: second verse or the last verse of Ghetto Heaven. Actually,
Speaker 1: I thought he was just calling somebody a Hoe's Rasha's
Speaker 1: world famous for subliminal dishes.
Speaker 4: Back to this day, people don't know.
Speaker 1: I still when I see like seven or eight figures,
Speaker 1: if they don't respond negative to me, I'm like.
Speaker 6: Okay, you still have nothing. It went over your head,
Speaker 6: Like twenty seven years later, you still haven't listened to.
Speaker 1: Like Wanted for Chocoal the album, been like, hey wait
Speaker 1: a minute, but yeah, that's the first time I used it,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 6: And that was when that was when I was in
Speaker 6: undergrad and that's when people were using it very sincerely
Speaker 6: as a way for like afrocentric people to communicate with
Speaker 6: each other and like greet each other on the yard
Speaker 6: or at the coffee shop or at the open mic
Speaker 6: like and it was it was like a term that
Speaker 6: people were using to try to point back to, like
Speaker 6: our africanness.
Speaker 4: Right, it was seen as like, oh, this is cool, like.
Speaker 2: But then it almost leads into corniness.
Speaker 6: And because and and it's funny because the negative aspect
Speaker 6: of it, a negative way to look at it to me,
Speaker 6: is crystallized in Fonte's verse on Yo Yo, right, and
Speaker 6: he describes that that that coffee shop doing trying to
Speaker 6: stop him from eating bacon or is talk down to
Speaker 6: him morally and ethically, but he's still all about the
Speaker 6: holes or whatever.
Speaker 2: To me, it.
Speaker 6: Literally ended to me like, oh he fined. He didn't
Speaker 6: use the word, but he defined the whole TEP and
Speaker 6: the whole TEPS politics and the things that were negative
Speaker 6: around people using that term and what And it was
Speaker 6: really what women were trying to call out about people
Speaker 6: like that, right that they presented this sort of cultural uniform.
Speaker 6: They was on some bullshit.
Speaker 1: So WHOTEP is quasi an afrocentric hypocrite?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, it's afrocentric hypocrite.
Speaker 6: It's like a wolf in Sheep's clothing in some senses like.
Speaker 1: Like but not to be confused with well right now,
Speaker 1: like we have our own level of podcast bros who
Speaker 1: you know for the offering their word salad kind of.
Speaker 4: Gibbering manisphere right stuff.
Speaker 1: And but not coming in the name of a koofi
Speaker 1: or that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Damn. I just remember Jim Jones coined the term koofy smack,
Speaker 2: So I actually had to look on.
Speaker 1: Urban Dictionary to see what the proper so the original
Speaker 1: meaning derived from ancient Egyptian word meaning to be at
Speaker 1: peace or contentment, used as a greeting amongst.
Speaker 2: Black people since the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1: Even then, when Tarik said it, because I'm not well
Speaker 1: versed in Marvel DC comics thing, I thought he was
Speaker 1: just referring to some sort of character that I'd never
Speaker 1: heard of. So to Wreek somewhere in between a pretentious,
Speaker 1: a pretentious Afrocentric and the brainschild of the most dangerous
Speaker 1: man in comedy.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 6: But I say I bring up Potep just to answer
Speaker 6: your question because I was thinking about when I had
Speaker 6: an argument on Twitter, I was I was offended that
Speaker 6: people were trying to use the negative aspect of potep
Speaker 6: is like a term of endearment among themselves. Like basically
Speaker 6: that was like the death knell of the original meaning.
Speaker 6: Was these people who were like, yes, I am like that,
Speaker 6: call me hotel please, Like, oh, that's horrible. And I
Speaker 6: think we lost that fight, and now I'm thinking we're woke.
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know if we need to fight
Speaker 6: for the term. I don't know if we need to
Speaker 6: fight for I don't know if that's where our effort
Speaker 6: is best used, because culture and language is going to
Speaker 6: do what culture and language.
Speaker 4: Does, So we should just let it go and see
Speaker 4: what happens.
Speaker 2: I think, see if the body.
Speaker 6: I think we always have to strive for new ways
Speaker 6: to expressly by jack and sink.
Speaker 2: Into the water or hang on to the door.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, now that I truly know where.
Speaker 1: Georgia's heart is, i'd say, you know, I'm why should.
Speaker 2: We let it go?
Speaker 4: Like, well, does she want to fight for it?
Speaker 1: That's a good question, I'd I would wager that she's
Speaker 1: not concerned. Yeah, real artists aren't concerned of legacy things
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I'm certain for her at least it's weird. Man,
Speaker 1: people always want a piece of legacy and importance, but
Speaker 1: once it gets defined, then it could be a burden.
Speaker 1: Like I'm certain to this day, I'm almost certain that
Speaker 1: Illmatic as an album is more burdensome denias than it
Speaker 1: is a celebration of.
Speaker 2: A beautiful work of art.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like once you put something in the
Speaker 1: zegeist or whatever, like, it might make the individual that
Speaker 1: achieved that thing feel otherwise burdened because they either have
Speaker 1: to live up to it or that's only the thing
Speaker 1: that they're going to be associated with.
Speaker 4: It's a literal cultural weight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so to woke or not to woke. But I
Speaker 1: will say this much unlike the word death. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: you remember when Rick Rubin had the funeral for the
Speaker 1: word deaf.
Speaker 4: No, I don't remember that at all. Wait you don't
Speaker 4: remember this, No, I don't see.
Speaker 2: You have a little subtle.
Speaker 1: Ways of making me just want to Rick, because you
Speaker 1: do this age thing, what thing where it's like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we're like like minded once and then I'll say like,
Speaker 1: hey man, you remember da da da da da.
Speaker 2: And you're like, motherfucker. I wasn't of age yet.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I was of it. I
Speaker 1: don't know what year this happened. My first record was
Speaker 1: easy E all right, So that said Rick Ruben of course,
Speaker 1: pro prior to of Deaf Jam. He decided when he
Speaker 1: left Deaf Jam in eighty seven eighty eight he started
Speaker 1: Deaf American eighty nine to ninety and literally held a
Speaker 1: real funeral for the word death.
Speaker 6: That might have been a one time, a funeral for
Speaker 6: a word actually worked. That might have been a one time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I sort of felt some sort of way
Speaker 1: because again, it's hip hop.
Speaker 4: Slang, right, and who is he?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: But when I looked at the funeral, like it was
Speaker 1: a bunch of rock cats, like some of his Slayer
Speaker 1: friends some of the but like literally Rick Ruver is
Speaker 1: sitting in front with I think he uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like when you're mourning widow or whatever. Like yes, he
Speaker 1: had a veil on and all those things. So it's
Speaker 1: like cartoonishly over the top. So I didn't know how
Speaker 1: to feel about that. But yeah, so Deaf had a funeral,
Speaker 1: an actual funeral. Look it up, kids, But yeah, stay woke,
Speaker 1: stay woke.
Speaker 2: There you go. Quest Love Show is a production I
Speaker 2: Heeart Radio
