1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, yo, yo yo yo. 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: What's up, y'all. I'm back. It's been a while. Let 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: me explain. Okay, if you don't know, this is her politics. 4 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: My name is propaganda. This is politics with prop Here's 5 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: where I've been. I've been writing a book, I've been 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: finishing an album, and it's a global pandemic. So attempting 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: to parent during all of these things while at the 8 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: same time producing content. And if you know, The Red Couch, 9 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the sister podcast of this that this podcast grew out of, 10 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: is currently in season. So for my own health and workload, 11 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: I put this aside for a second. If we don't 12 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: know what this is. Is built on the idea that 13 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: if you understood gang life or survived eighth grade, you 14 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: understand geo politics, because after all, politics is just gang 15 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: banging in nice suits. Also, the second thing that's been 16 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: going on with her politics is we are in negotiations 17 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: with a much larger network. So that's super exciting, which 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: means that like will be bringing this thing coming at you, 19 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: smoking hot all the time, probably weekly very soon. You know, 20 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: I just needed to make sure that you know the 21 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: bag was secured. As I taught y'all, and that you 22 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: know I can not just secure the bag for myself 23 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: but pay my dog Matta Sawski still can't pronounce his 24 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: name to gore and mix and master. It's a lot 25 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: that goes into making podcasts. Anyway, No guests today. Moving forward, 26 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: there probably will only be guests a few times, but 27 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: most likely it'll be more just like me, just giving 28 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: y'all to business about a certain topic. So you're ready 29 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: to dive in, here we go. Ether. So anybody's been 30 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: around hip hop for a while in their early two thousands, 31 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: you understand that ether has become a verb. I think 32 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: I may have speaked spoken of this before, where it 33 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: is an action of what you do well. Ether has 34 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: an origin, and the origin is Ether is a song 35 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: by Nas Do your googles. If he's not in your 36 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: top five, I don't think you really love hip hop. 37 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: And Ether actually was a dis track. Now, there's a 38 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: long history and hip hop of a diss track, right. 39 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: It's a song that specifically a diss towards a certain person, crew, coast, 40 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. And you you you you 41 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: started making those when y'all start beefing. It came out 42 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: of the longer history of battle rapping Um, which also 43 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: came out of a longer history of the Sound Clash. 44 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, in the sound Clash actually goes all the 45 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: way back to Jamaica. But I'm going too far right now, 46 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: this is too hip hop Nerdery Nas was dissing jay Z. 47 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Jay Z hove as y'all may know him. You know 48 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: Bay and Jay y'all y'all know the the final version 49 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: of jay Z. The younger jay Z was one of 50 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: many New York rappers who put out some classic records 51 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: and obviously changed hip hop as we know it and 52 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: aged very well. But anyway, Nas was dissing jay Z. 53 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: There was a time that them two beefed and jay 54 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: had put out a number of tracks, a number well, 55 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: first of all, it was a verse and this verse 56 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: from this song called Takeover, and it was pretty it 57 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: was pretty raw, like he he he kind of. He 58 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: came in nos tough knowing how hip hop works, Like 59 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: the importance of being the King of New York is 60 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: just like because that's where hip hop sort of not 61 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: sort of, that's where hip hop originated from. Like, being 62 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: the King of New York was something very important. As 63 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: an MC, you had to be the king of New York. Really, 64 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the king of New York for a long time was Biggie, 65 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: right uh. And then after Biggie passed there was almost 66 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: like a mad scramble for the top of the food 67 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: chain and the as far as the lyricists were concerned, 68 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: it was always always belonging to Nos only a lot 69 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: of Nos had a string of duds and his albums, 70 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: there's a few albums that were just terrible, but his 71 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: first record, Illmatic, was so good that it overshadowed the 72 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: duds that he had after that. Anyway, we could argue, 73 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: and we do all the time. Ether was probably the 74 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: greatest dis track of all time. It's the greatest haymaker 75 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: anyone has ever thrown. Because you have to remember, Nas 76 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: was playing from behind. Jay Z was becoming. Like I said, 77 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: he was poised to be the top of the food chain. 78 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: As far as lyricists were concerned, people that just liked 79 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: underground hip hop, it belonged to Nos. Jay Z was 80 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: a commercial rapper, right, But as far as the public 81 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: was concerned, Jay was the top of the food chain. 82 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: To take a shot at him was very brave, right, 83 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: But in the in the in the hard and soul 84 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: of hip hop. Anyone can get it. When you're battling, 85 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: anyone can get it. So we like to say that 86 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: NAS through the greatest haymaker of all time. People still 87 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: argue who won that battle, Jay or Nas. I like 88 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: to say it like this, Nas won the battle, but 89 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: j won the war because Jay went on on to 90 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: become the hope that we all know of, right and Nas, 91 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you as hard to admit this 92 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: as like a hip hop guy, but like he didn't 93 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: age as well as Jay Um as far as making music, style, 94 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: growth and stuff like that, but he's This is not 95 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: to take anything away from Nas. Eventually they've squashed it, 96 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: moved on. Everything's fine. But since then ether became a 97 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: verb for when you honestly take somebody out with like 98 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: a really powerful disc of powerful some bars. Right. So 99 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: battle making distracks is a part of the bigger culture 100 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: of battle rapping right in hip hop. More recent examples 101 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: of this is the Drake and Meek Mill battle, you know, 102 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, the back to back songs and me kind 103 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: of like stumbling. I mean, he fumbled bad his response, 104 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: but again everything works out. Everybody starts, you know, making records. 105 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: There was one that was pretty funny, like the J 106 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: Cole and the Cannabis one. Cannabis is like a legendary 107 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: battle rapper, but that's all he does. It came at cold, 108 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: which was like, I don't know, I don't know why 109 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: you're doing why you're coming at cold. It's not it's 110 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: not the move. But battle rapping wasn't always just making 111 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: dis tracks. It's usually a head to head thing. That's 112 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: the history where it's like head to head. You guys 113 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: just kind of like you know, you you you trade 114 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: bars even though the bars are they're just wrap lines 115 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: or couplets if you will, it's you know, it's a 116 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: music measure. We just call them bars. The best example 117 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: I think some of y'all may know of it is 118 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: like sort of the U R L, The Grind Times, 119 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: or of course the movie eight Mile. You know this eminiminiuminium. 120 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, of course you can't stand it making a 121 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: hand seeing which up the damn cabinet? Right, you know, 122 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: be rabbit, you know what I'm saying. Lose yourself, right, 123 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: you know? So that scene underground when it's like a 124 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: crowd of people and you you're supposed to wrap off 125 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: the head, you know, meaning you're supposed to freeze style. 126 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: You don't really get to research the person you're battling 127 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: because it's more like a tournament, you know. You whoever 128 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: signs up, and that's the culture I came from. You 129 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: get there, everybody signs up, and it's like single elimination. 130 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: You get thirty seconds. The DJ throws on a beat. 131 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: You guys have to wrap on the same beat, and 132 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: you gotta come up with the bars right there to 133 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: serve that fool, right. And it's equal parts style and 134 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: finesse and and punch lines. And you know, the punch 135 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: lines are like the knockout punch is the part that 136 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: makes the crowd go oh. But it can't just be 137 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: punch lines, you know what I'm saying, Like, you gotta 138 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: have some style in finesse. You've gotta still be rapping, 139 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's gotta rhyme, it's 140 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: gotta be on beat, you gotta be clever. It's the 141 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: crowd engagement, you know, But it can't be so styled 142 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: that there's no punch lines. And then it's like he 143 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: just wrapped a verse that's not interesting. So there's really 144 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: all art form to it, right, And some of the 145 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: strategies you would do is you would get your whole 146 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: crew on the stage, you know, to like hype you up, 147 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: gas you up. You know, you have people in the audience. 148 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like the home court advantage thing, 149 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: like if you got a whole crew behind you, a 150 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: lot of times they cheerleading, you know, and anytime you 151 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: say some of the silliest bar even if it's not 152 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: that hard, but if you got a whole crew of 153 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: people being like, oh, that's the hardest you ever heard, right, 154 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: then you just create this frenzy. Even if you're not 155 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: that much better, you still create this frenzy. Now, the 156 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: new style of battle rapping is a little different. These 157 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: young dudes, like I like to call myself like I'm 158 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: like an OS one. I'm like an iPhone one battle rapper. 159 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: These dudes are like you know, the iPhone twelves. They 160 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: just they just move different. They get it's three minutes around, 161 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: you get three rounds and these dudes have had two 162 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: months to research each other. And there's like actual money involved, 163 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Like you could have a career, you feel me being 164 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: a battle rapper. You just write the three minute verses 165 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: about this person who are all in this like league, 166 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: if you will, And you get to know these people's 167 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: track records and history and stuff like that, and then 168 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: people you sell tickets to come see it. For us, 169 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: it was three corners or just weekly events. You're wrapping 170 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: in front of the same people every time. You know 171 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, except for whoever else might show up. 172 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: So this is totally different. So you get to do 173 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: your research. You're doing homework. So if you get to 174 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: research doing homework, you're memorizing these raps. You gotta come 175 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: with it. You gotta be fumbling those verses, and you 176 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: had three weeks to play these things. Your little knockout 177 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: punch is better be hard. But you gotta have strategy. 178 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: You can't bring out all your big guns in the 179 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: first round. But at the same time, you gotta establish 180 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: who's boss in the first round. You gotta try to 181 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: win the crowd over. You should have your crew there right, 182 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: who's already on your side? You feel me? And then 183 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: I saw you want the battle now. There's sort of 184 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: a trope among hip hop and it's battle Rappers usually 185 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: can't write song. The greatest example of that as cannabis. 186 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: He just you can't write a song. You don't. They 187 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: don't make hits. Battle rappers don't make hits. That that's 188 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: what was so unique about the Jay and Nas and 189 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: even the Drake and Meek Mill battle is like, well, 190 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: these guys write songs like they make and make hits 191 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: for them to come down and just like I had 192 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: to say, come down. I don't mean like condescend, but 193 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean that, like, come to this part of hip hop, 194 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: to where you're just writing dis tracks for each other. 195 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: It is like, dang, okay, boys got bars. That's dope, 196 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's why, as much as 197 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: I want to dismiss Drake Um as a meme of himself, 198 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: when it comes down to, like the boy got bars, 199 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: the boy can write, you know, and I'm sorry, man, 200 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: stuff is catchy anyway. The consensus is they don't write songs. 201 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: So just because you a battle doesn't necessarily mean you're 202 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: the better artist. The opposite is also true. Just because 203 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: you lost the battle doesn't mean you're the worst artist. 204 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of ways to approach this, so 205 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: a battle doesn't necessarily settle. It's almost like in basketball, 206 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: you play one on one with somebody. That don't mean 207 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: you're the better player. Because basketball is a team sport. 208 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of different things that go 209 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: into being able to play basketball. Just because somebody beat 210 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: you one on one don't mean they're the better ball player. 211 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: You should be asking what the hell am I talking about? 212 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: And remember this is about politics. I am talking about 213 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: running campaigns. Y'all. We are in the throws. There's only 214 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: a few weeks left of the presidential election. Now, before 215 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: we go further, let me say this about an election. 216 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: I think it's important to remember at the end of 217 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: the day, when you cast your vote, mostly probably have 218 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: already voted, because that's just the statistics of America. But 219 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: but if you haven't cast your vote just yet, here's 220 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: the thing I want you to think about. I know 221 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: when I went, when I got my ballot, one thing 222 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: that I thought that was very interesting and telling was 223 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: that the presidential election, like the voting, the vote to 224 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: cast for the ballot for the president was the last 225 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: one on page six. So for six other pages, they 226 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: were all kinds of other things. There was California propositions. 227 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: There were local elections, their city elections, their state elections, 228 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: there's Congress, there's district all kinds of other things that 229 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: actually affect me directly. So as much attention that we 230 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: in the culture, the media, or whatever the case may be, 231 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: give to the one big one, understand there are so 232 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: many other ways to affect change. There's so many other 233 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: things to vote on. So I just thought it was 234 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: very telling and a beautiful metaphor for the apart type 235 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: of importance that you really need to place on the 236 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: totality of your ballot and not just the last dot 237 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: on the last page. Having said that, let's get into it. 238 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: We are at the battle rap stage. You gotta start 239 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: throwing This is first of all, it starts off with, 240 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: let me just make my case as to why I'm 241 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: your dude. That's that's them dropping their albums, they dropping 242 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: the mix tapes. I'm the guy, and another guy's dropping 243 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: mix tapes. I'm the guy. No, I'm the guy. No, 244 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm the guy. But somebody got to be the king 245 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: of the and sometimes in hip hop that plays along 246 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: lines of the coast, who's the king of the West. Well, 247 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's easy, it's Kendrick Lamar. I don't understand 248 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: why anybody else would ask any other question, who's the 249 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: King of New York. I don't know. That's not where 250 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: culture is at right now. You I mean that that 251 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: could actually King of New York could go to anybody, 252 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: is astop mob whatever? Right I don't know. We've sent 253 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: the West has sent their champion. Maybe New York is 254 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: not the one we're talking about. Actually, you know hip 255 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: hops in the South right now, it's I mean, is 256 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: it coming out of Atlanta? Is it coming out of Houston? 257 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: One could argue the King of New York right now 258 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: is Cardi B You feel me? What could argue the 259 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: King of the South right now is Megan the Stallion. 260 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: You understand what I'm talking about. You gotta send your champion. 261 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: But when you send your champion, your champion gotta be 262 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: prepared for whatever this is. The other people gonna say, 263 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: so you bring your bar now. Just like with most 264 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: of hip hop, at the end of a battle, it's fine. 265 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: We're all friends. You know, Drake and Meek have done 266 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: songs together. Jay and Nas you know they've done songs together. 267 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: They worked together. Even the versus battles on Instagram through 268 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: this quarantine, they're not really battles. They're just bringing their 269 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: hits and ultimately the culture wins. Like there's no real 270 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: winners and losers in that situation. I don't know if 271 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: you saw the Brandy and Monica one. I mean, look, dude, 272 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: who one was us? We just got our groove on 273 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: during that time. Then they did the d m X 274 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: and and and and Snoop. Listen, I'm gonna say Snoop 275 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: won that. But the winner was the culture there early 276 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: on there was little John and t Pain. You're just 277 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: playing hits. The winner is the culture, right. Ultimately, that's 278 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be. The winners the culture. So 279 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: when you think about president your elections, the winner should 280 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: be the culture. Right. That's just not where we are 281 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: right now. This on some Biggie Tupac. Somebody might die 282 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: out this book. This would hate the same, right. So 283 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: when you walk into what we set up presidential debates 284 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: as they're supposed to be, the winner is supposed to 285 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: be us. You bring your champion, you bring your best bars. 286 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: Maybe you maybe you're throwing eat maybe you're throwing you know, 287 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: heymakers at the opponent, the opponent throwing hay makers back. 288 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, to win us 289 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: the culture. Right, But that's if you understand how they's 290 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: supposed to go. Clear that's not where we are right now. 291 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: Right now, foods is getting personal one of the things 292 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: in hip hop culture too, and and especially with battling. 293 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be able to let this person say 294 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: the worst things about you, and you can't get out 295 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: your skin, you can't get out your comfort. You gotta 296 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: be able to handle it. You can't get violent, and 297 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: you can't you can't take that stuff personal. You gotta 298 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: be able to just take it on the chin and 299 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: not let this person wrap You gotta let them get 300 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: their bars off. You gotta be okay, because it's fine. 301 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: Once they get their bars off, you get your bars off, 302 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: and whoever got the best bars win, right. You can't 303 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: be interrupting fools. That's not how it works. Clearly, that's 304 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: not where we are right now. We're in this season 305 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: that people like to call the October Surprise, and if 306 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: you remember it back in two thousand sixteen, the October Surprise, 307 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: it was two October Surprises, which was again, these were 308 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: these were the greatest hay makers, These were the dis track. 309 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be able to take them and punch back. 310 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: The October surprise for Trump was the Access Hollywood tapes. 311 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: This was the hay maker. US just supposed to take 312 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: you out, right, and it was a punch boy. However, 313 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: the punch back towards you know, miss Hillary Clinton was 314 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: her email. Whether one was worse than the other doesn't matter. 315 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: You gotta get the crowd involved. And if you ask me, 316 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: Trump got the crowd involved via Russia. That boy, that 317 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: boy has some goons in the audience. You feel me. 318 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: You had some people, some cheerleaders that was like, yo, 319 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: did you see that? That was crazy? You see them emails. 320 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: If you get the crowd involved, it don't matter, right 321 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: because some of y'all might be thinking logical like that. 322 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. It just I mean, I don't understand 323 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: what these emails proved. Right a matter of fact, if 324 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: you remember, the Homie Comy came back and was like, yeah, 325 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: the emails didn't really prove much. It's just you know, 326 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't really a thing.

It's 354 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: going down. The October survise towards Trump was his seven 355 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars in Texas. The man paid seven 356 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars in Texas. And then when they asked 357 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: him again, it was like, yo, you that's it. He 358 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: was like, no, that's not true. Then they pressed them 359 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: a little more and I was like, Yo, what's up 360 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: with this four hundred million dollars you owe? Who you 361 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: owe that too? Wait? What's up with that? He's like, 362 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: that ain't true. They was like, yo, four hundred million 363 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: dollars to look, man, I'm looking at you. I'm looking 364 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: at the papers right now. What's up with this four 365 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars? Who you owe this too? He was like, Yo, no, 366 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: you know what, it's really not that much man, it's 367 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: it's it's secured. So this was him trying to defend 368 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: himself from these bars right from this time, Yeah, it's 369 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: all good. It's like, man, who do you owe this? 370 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: To answer the question, who you owe this? To me, 371 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: and you have you've been following the hood if you 372 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: know the hood rules. He owed that money to the 373 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: big homies, big homies who put him on. Somebody fronted 374 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: him to work, and he got to pay it back. 375 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: I got my guesses as to who fronted him to work. 376 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: I think you got your guesses as to who fronted 377 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: him to work. Because if politics is just gang banging 378 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: in nice suits, homie, you know who fronted him to 379 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: work was the crimlin because thinking for hunting million dollars 380 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: to rush in now this is all speculation. I don't know, 381 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: but my aunt tenders telling me, I kind of maybe 382 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: know who this thing. I owe this money too, because 383 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: you can't be talking trash towards people you owe money to. 384 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: My grandmama used to say, as long as somebody owe 385 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: you money, you never brought ooka because every dollar Trump 386 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: made belong to Russia. Uh maybe, So that's the October surprised. Now, 387 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: the October surprise towards Biden was supposed to be this laptop, 388 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: these text messages. And now now remember Trump started a 389 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: long time ago. We're going after Hunter and Barisma and 390 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: this oil company out there. That's Hella crooked let me 391 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: back y'all up for a little bit. Hunter Biden, while 392 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was Vice president, got this job with this 393 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: company in the Ukraine called Barizma. Now Ukraine is notoriously crooked, right, 394 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: Remember when you're dealing with goons, whether it's Russia or Ukraine, 395 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: every they all gangsters. So there's really no there's no 396 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: good guys in this scenario. You're just say what I'm saying, 397 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: nobody good in this Everybody has dirty. Right, So Barisma 398 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: us got an inside person inside of the Ukrainian government 399 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: right to make sure that, just like the mob here, 400 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: to make sure that all their contracts go through with 401 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: no hitch. Right, That's just how it worked over there, supposedly. 402 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: Now we don't know this stuff. Supposedly Biden get wind 403 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: to all this, he hits these fools up and he's going, Yo, 404 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: what's up with all this? Look, man, y'all asking for 405 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: aid from us. But like big homie, you got this 406 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: like prosecutor, you got all this like this your company crooked. 407 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: You got this prosecutor that's clearly on the pay. Like, 408 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: y'all gotta get rid of this, dude, So we're not 409 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: sending your money Ukraine like, man, you can't tell us 410 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: what to do because he's like, okay, cool, well, you know, 411 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: we'll do whatever you want. We're just not sending you 412 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: this money. They was like, well, secure the bag low 413 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: and behold they got rid of this prosecutor. Prosecutor gets 414 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: out Ukraine. Dude goes telling Trump, Yo, we only got 415 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: rid of that dude because Biden told us to. But 416 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: you know what, that dude was going to prosecute uh hunter, 417 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: Biden and this whole company for all the stuff he's doing. 418 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: So I think, by the hell, this money up because 419 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: we was gonna go get his son. Don't it. Don't 420 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: it sound like gangbanging? So Trump was like, yo, hold up, 421 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: that's why. That's why y'all gotta wait. Hold on. How 422 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: come nobody's investigating this? That sounds crooked as hell right now. 423 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: This is why this is an advantageous to Trump is 424 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: because Trump had to wear with all to understand that 425 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: eventually Biden is probably gonna be the candidate coming up. 426 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: So I need to make sure that this dude got 427 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: some dirt on him. Y'all know he's shady. He you know, 428 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: man ain't no man ain't no angel I know I 429 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: ain't no saint, but neither this nigger. You understand I'm saying. So, 430 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: that's what he was trying to do right there, This 431 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: and this nig ain't no saint either. Look at his 432 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: old crackhead son is basically what he's trying to say, 433 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: crooked as everybody else. Right, So that so so, so 434 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: you gotta back up from there. There's zero evidence that 435 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: the reason Joe Biden held this money up to get 436 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: this prosecutor removed was because he was about to prosecute 437 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: his son. That's there's no evidence of that, right, that's speculation. 438 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they all gangsters. The point is, 439 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: we don't know that, and we can't prove it a 440 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: matter of fact. What we can prove is that the 441 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: whole system is corrupt right now, whether Joe knew that 442 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: or not, or Joe had anything to do with that corruption. You, 443 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: I mean you, we don't know. You know what I'm saying, 444 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: like you can't. We can only spay. We just know. 445 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: My antennas. I'm be real with y'all. My antennas is 446 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: like I mean, I mean, Joe ain't no sat You 447 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: feel me, there's probably something in there, but it only 448 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: rise to high crimes and treason, just like Trump, oh 449 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: and the Kremlin four n million dollars before he was 450 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: a resident. Don't raise the high crimes and treason, you 451 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you just you made a deal, y'all, 452 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: was moving money. Is what happened. Fast forward to now, 453 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani gets ahold of this laptop you understand I'm saying, 454 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: and releases the content of this laptop that is supposed 455 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: to be the spoken gun that says Yo, Biden knew 456 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: about all this stuff and was involved with his crackhead 457 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: son right doing a lot of these shady works. So 458 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: all this stuff, uh that we knew that we were 459 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: trying to tell y'all during Trump's impeachment. That's like why 460 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: y'all worried about me. This fool is the one doing 461 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: the actual crimes. According to Rudy Giuliani, This laptop supposed 462 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: to prove all that. But we saw the content of 463 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: the laptop, and the content of the laptop that we've 464 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: seen so far is these text messages between Joe and 465 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: his son. And if you read these messages, it's just 466 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: it's a loving father while his son is in the 467 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: depths of his depression about getting caught up in some 468 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: ship he wasn't able to handle right, mainly being strong 469 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: out on cocaine and him saying, Yo, I know I 470 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: might be messing up your your chances with election. Man, 471 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm such a funk up man, and and 472 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: his daddy being like, son, I love you, I need you. 473 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: Only don't worry about me. Man. You worry about getting clean, 474 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: you worry about rehab. That's all that it's about for you. 475 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: It's just these messages of his loving father. So I'm 476 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: thinking this, if you're making a distract about Joe Biden, 477 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: all the things you could say, Hell, call him boring, 478 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: call him, calling him on them, Joe baracker yours said, 479 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: like saying that you ain't nothing. But you ain't nothing 480 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: but like like a j v Obama Like there's so 481 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: many things you could say about him. You ain't got 482 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: no plans. On a matter of fact, you was the 483 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: last choice of your party. Your party wanted Bernie because 484 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: your party wanted Elizabeth Warren. You feel me, you had 485 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: to get this black lady on your team because ain't 486 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: nobody want you.

I saw a speech 503 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: with Barack Obama in Philadelphia, Brock getting his bars off. 504 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: He like, Yo, a pandemic would be hard for everybody. 505 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, anybody who was the president. This 506 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: would be hard for y'all. He was like Korea found 507 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: they first case the same day America did. Korea only 508 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: got one percent of the death we got per capita. FAM, 509 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: you failing, Like that's a bar. He was like, I 510 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: don't understand what Trump talking about with jobs. We was 511 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: on the incline the whole time. Family, I brought back 512 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: the car companies. What are you talking about? You here 513 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: for for American manufacturing. I brought back the car companies. 514 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: I handed you a great economy. Barrock was like, Fam, 515 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: you feel to be the first president since Herbert Hoover, 516 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: my nigga to not increase jobs. You you're gonna have to. 517 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna be the first president since Herbert Hoover, my 518 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: nigga wind Herbert who president? Exactly. That's what he's trying 519 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: to say. Those are bars. Now, whether they're true or not, 520 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: whether you can it depends on how you bend the statistics. 521 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: But the point is, there's so many receipts you could 522 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: pull out and be like, FAM. One of the greatest things, 523 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: one of the greatest bars Obama got off was like, Yo, 524 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: this isn't a reality show. It's reality and we have 525 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: all suffered from President Trump not taking this job serious. 526 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: It's like, yo, you could tweet from your bed and 527 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: watch Fox News. If you won't do He's like, I'm 528 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Another bar Trump tried to get 529 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: off was if Joe Biden gets elected, he's gonna listen 530 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: to scientists. What wait, that's a diss bro. That's not 531 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: a fami, that's not a diss that's not a disk fool. 532 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: But what Yes, Yes, he gonna listen. Yes, there's experts, 533 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna listen to a Come on, there's so many 534 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: things you could say about Joe Biden, like work, come over, 535 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: then get your bars off. Here's my thoughts. My thought is, 536 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: I think he's just counting on his crew. Trump is 537 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: counting on his crew to start being in the crowd going, 538 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: oh did you see that? You hear that? Did you 539 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: hear that? You know how I know because it ran 540 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: just sin thousands and thousands and thousands of emails to 541 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: anybody signed up as a registered Democrat and the email said, yo, 542 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: we're a right wing Republicans and if you vote Democrat, 543 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: we will come find you. Here's your name and address. 544 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: I ran did it. It was like they got he 545 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: got a squad. Trump got Trump got cheerleaders, He got 546 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: a squad. Out there. He counted on his squad. He's like, 547 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to have bars because a little, a 548 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: little bit, I gotta get amplified by the people in 549 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: the room. You feel me. I got this, I got 550 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: this loyal following that even if my bars is weak, 551 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: it don't matter. My following hypes me up. He count 552 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: on it. I mean, we'll see. And he's such a boss. 553 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: He got the GOP scared. Now here's here's my last prediction. 554 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: It's funny how people that were like die hard meat 555 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: fans really started wavering when Drake was throwing them bones, like, 556 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, don't mean me cool. I guess you know 557 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Maybe I ain't know, and they really 558 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: right with them anyway, you know what I'm saying, saying like, 559 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: I have this feeling about the GOP because this is 560 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: how always work when the boss gets taken out. The 561 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: question is do you go down with the boss or 562 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: do you try to figure out who's gonna be the 563 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: next boss and get yourself nice and cozy to keep 564 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: yourself safe. My thoughts is the latter. I'm thinking if 565 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: old Trumpy Trump loses, these foods gonna come out the 566 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: woodworks talking about you know, Loki. I really never really 567 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: rolled with him anyway. I mean, I'm just thinking, man, like, 568 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: you know what, just let me be around. I'm gonna 569 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: be a check on Joe. But yeah, let's let's get 570 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: the party back to center, back to where we wanted 571 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: it to be. I never really rolled with Trump anyway, 572 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: Like what all of a sudden, you wasn't really feeling him. 573 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: That's that's what happening right now, all of a sudden, 574 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what's gonna happen. I mean, Mark, I look, look, 575 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: I know gangbanging, and I know what happens when the 576 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: boss gets gets taken out. Either go down with the 577 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: boss and you never get seen again, or you are 578 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: just to secure your own position, you tell me anyway. 579 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: So I just thought i'd give y'all this special episode.
