Not funk that with your 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:14.560 low glasses Malone, Dr Martin Luther King. You start saying 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.040 preaching non vollies. Oh they need him gone. They start 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.160 they start preaching they didn't kill him when he was 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.840 non they was cool. He started talking about that coin. Yeah, 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.680 listening when he said that we're coming for our checked 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:37.000 that Nigga Dave's was number women right, so women who um? 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:42.920 Women who um? It's like like the culture of women 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.239 right now. It's not selling your pussy right there, not 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.440 saying let's go on, let's go on the strow and 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.800 prostitute ourselves or let's go the only fans. It's like, 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:55.680 if you want to funk with me, if you want 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.800 to get this pussy, then a birking bag is required. Unbelievable. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.720 So so it's not quite prostitution, right, but it's like 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:09.720 using your sexuality as it's a weapon. So so so 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:16.480 Cardi b gives insight into into that culture of women that's, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.800 you know, using what they got to get what they want. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.440 She's she's the She's the realization of all Players Club, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.679 the Players Club dream She's like, uh, what's the lady 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:31.360 name Ronnie? Ronnie? She's Ronnie as a rapper. Yeah, now 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.559 you never chipped off rapping Ronnie Cardi b Is, that's 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:41.480 rap rapping Ronnie. That's what the big name should have been. No, no, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.560 you're gonna talk about whatever. This was good, Yeah, this 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.039 was good. Yeah, this it's on. But this was good 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.040 enough to where you should have it, Like Cardi b 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.840 Is Ronnie from the Players Club, wrapping Ronnie. She just 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.160 don't you think that she just sells like this false 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.640 reality of what what you could actually She's like, more, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.720 it's less likely that you will ever become anything remotely 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.880 or successful as her. It's like, it's like this false 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.160 idea of what you could potentially be if you are 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.680 more provocative, or if you get twenty inch nails, still 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.760 let on nails, like um, you know, thirty different wigs 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:25.160 and talking like you're retarded. It's like, yeah, it works, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:31.200 because do that again that. I want to if she 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.120 I really just want to know if she really talks 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.480 like seven, because I'm just wondering how else that do 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.120 with that? That's a fucking naturalist dialect. I think I 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.720 think it's a total insult to sisters. I don't think 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.480 she really a sister though, so exactly, but they really do. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:54.519 I think she's an emulation of a sister. But if 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.079 we you know, if sisters would act like her, where 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.880 do they end up at? They think they're gonna end 0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:07.600 up what I'll said already. So let's but she she's 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:13.680 hoping that she's his last. That's all. It's just the last. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.200 I mean, it got to be some truth. So and 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.240 that's the thing, right because I understand where you're coming from. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.240 Right now, hip hop is taking a huge blow in 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.919 kind of the conscious or away community of like, oh, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.600 you guys are selling something that's unobtainable, or you're selling violence, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.720 and it's like, no, people are selling reality. And I 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.840 understand it's not the reality that you want to per se, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.440 you know, you want to be shown, but it's very 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.400 much the reality. So I've always said, why are you 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.280 mad at the reflection versus being mad at the mirror? Like, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.560 excuse me, why are you mad at the reflection not 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.320 what it's reflecting? Like you have to be worried. You 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.920 can't be upset at Cardi B if everybody you know paid, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.560 not the strip clubs if that's literally a job where 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.800 people is actually making a thousand dollars a week, two 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.040 thousand dollars a week. It ain't like there's a lot 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.640 of you know, um jobs. There's there's not a lot 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.080 of career that you can earn a livable wage. And 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.800 you're going to these clubs in the South and those 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.320 girls are really earning eight hundred to twollars a week. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.320 Some of them, you know, are going crazy, but the 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.960 average salary is probably somewhere between eight hundred bucks. That's 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.520 really great money. That was a long term thought. Again, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.080 you're talking to somebody who's operating in desperate mode, so 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.920 they can't see that far. All they know is if 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.040 they get in two thousand dollars a week and they 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.320 could drive a bins, that's success. Because America as a 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.719 whole has put success status on products. But we're promoting 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.800 that now though to the youth though, So the issue 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.160 I got with it, you know, do your ship, bitch, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.640 you know what I mean. I don't give a funk. 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:03.400 But the problem is now the kids is hearing this 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.760 and seeing this ship at a high ass rate, to 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.920 the point where now you got kids all they want 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.920 they wanted to know if I could figure out how 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.280 to do this and do that, like them from from 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.440 the mag the Stallions, the Cardi B's and ship it. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.520 They don't even have a grip on nothing. They're not 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.160 even trying to do nothing else no more, man, they do. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.280 When we was coming up, I remember, just I remember 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.000 literally like the girls to me was like those are 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.000 the ones we was looking to. Hey can you write 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.960 my paper? Hey? Can you do this for me? Hey? 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.719 You know, they was like a whole different level of smart. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.400 Even if we was all smart, but we looked at 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.640 the girls, they was all smart, like Okay, can you 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.280 help me with the Spanish test? Can you do it? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.479 Like now the ship that's being promoted by these brods, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.760 the I don't trust the little girls don't tests? Man, Man, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.440 you know these these little motherfucker's they won't. They won't 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.680 views too. They're not even thinking about schooling. They not 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.920 even think about educating themselves no more, you know what 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.040 I mean. So I'm just my problem with the whole movement. 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.039 It ain't that you're doing it, but it's like you 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.120 ain't targeting just that those people, you know, you're targeting 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:20.000 the babies and them babies and they they very easily influenced. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.240 You gotta understand, right, And and that's the tough out right, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.560 because that's true. The reality is why is that more 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:31.880 attractive and other things? It's promoted more. I don't even 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.480 think it's promoted more. I think you on your so 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.479 so it's on your radio, So them sound waves is 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.480 going in your head, programming, programming your head, you know 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.520 what I mean? Micro waves and sound waves is it 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.880 that people can't you can't control. So that's the type 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.599 of ship that while you sleep. Sometimes if you got 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.520 on ESPN, you might wake up on some sports ship. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.520 But let's say if you're listening to the radio at 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.279 most hour a day, that ain't how that's going. No. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.800 I think what we're talking about the social media. But 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.400 and you gotta realize why are people attracted to it? This? 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:08.200 This is something we really gotta one being a doctor, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.840 because it's not algorithms. Literally, you can put a teacher 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.800 and uh Cardi be next to each other, right, and 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.040 the Cardi b is a more attractive looking figure, right 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:23.320 because it seems exotic, wild, it's different. So again it's 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.280 one of those things where I think it's more of 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.000 a bad reflection on society that they don't treat the 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.960 teachers the way they should. But that's what it is. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.840 So but that's what I'm saying. Up for me is 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.320 still the promotion of it, you know what I mean, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.720 Because I mean, it'll be tough to promote a teacher 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.239 on the Honda court. But that's the thing. You're not trying. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.880 You you're not even But that's the problem. You need 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.520 to be making sure that that that that teacher don't 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.040 have to drive a Honda court. So again, it's not again, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.200 it's not on the culture itself, but you need to 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.120 be magnifying teachers anyway. They're not even magnifying teacher. They 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.160 don't even get think about it. Why would you want 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.440 to be a teacher? Right, especially coming from you, because 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:08.880 it's like, right, Doc, this ain't bothering white people. Right. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.080 I'm not saying white people don't have some influence. I'm 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.360 saying white girls are not growing up like I want 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.600 to be a stripper. Right there, witness is success in 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.080 their own house. As soon as they saying I want 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.880 to get paid off the strippers. If they're saying anything 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.880 like like like like sure, like like what's that? What's 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.000 that you sent me something today. You literally just sent 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.480 me something today. What the dude is getting Spotify? Yeah, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.440 I don't want to. They're getting taught to get paid 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.320 off with other motherfucker's They do that ignor ship. They 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.920 like that ignorance ship. Yeah yeah, figure out how to 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.040 be the one over that. Yeah. This this is a 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.920 convenienced business today. Convenience is the most popular business. Uber 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.600 owns no cars or don't nobody drivers work for Uber, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.320 yet they hook people up with cars with people that 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.320 need to ride. They make money. Spotify has created an 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.160 outlet that's in your phone where they don't make money 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:00.679 or they don't care to. It's in the music. So 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.360 they hook people up that make music with people that 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.000 need to listen to music. They hook him up and 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.920 get paid for it. So again it's the convenience business. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.800 And again it's like the first point and the point 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.839 I was trying to make on both is this is 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.040 a bad reflection on humanity at this point where everything 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:20.040 is starting to be the creature comfort or convenience. How 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.960 comfortable conveniance is right where fast Foods was the beginning 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.080 of it that we saw at the Fastest page, right 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.440 where you know, you you don't even want a good 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.679 hamburger at home, the more you rather go to McDonald's 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:35.040 because it seems faster. But it doesn't. But it doesn't. Um, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.240 it doesn't say chiate you though, you know what I mean. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.040 So it's kind of like even when we're talking about 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.240 the Cardi bes she's selling the fantasy, right, Oh it's 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:45.960 I don't know if it's a fantasy. I mean something 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.040 for most of us. When you think about Cinderella, that's 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.040 a fantasy. But you have a lot of young girls 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.640 still are trying to attain this cinderetdal life. Right, finding 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.880 the prince and you know that he has a big 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.640 castle and he rescues her, gives us this lifestyle and 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.680 right or Barbie. But still, Cardi, do you represent something 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.160 more identifiable to a lot of young urban girls. But 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.800 you gotta understand right where we why? Why the woman 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.600 that come from where we come from? Right? Hold up glasses, malone, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.520 no seilings, Uncle, moot dr Hoodie for me. They have 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.880 a new podcast, Muddy Waters y'all make sure y'all check 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:32.280 that out. Man, Christmas to y'all, Oh you're back to you? Yeah, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.000 But so you gotta ask, like what about our reality 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.800 in those places make us desire a fantasy? Okay, but 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.040 even though if we go back to the fast food 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.000 like all that still to me. They go to promotion 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:50.120 because McDonald's was promoted on on on commercials and stuff 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.320 like that. So you're selling this in my head, man, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.400 I'm loving it. I need it, you know what I mean. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.959 Motherfucker's is going to McDonald's just off commercials and then 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.760 you're gonna test some ship out and then you're gonna 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.640 like ship you know, it is what it is. It's 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.120 like social pressure too. It's like you've been at school 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.720 and everybody got McDonald's. Right, you might have a bomb 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.600 that you that you made home. It may taste way better. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.959 But if everybody's eat the big back and the large 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.800 fry and they're talking about that, then you feel left 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.040 out with the promotion of the bag with the m 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.640 on it. But again again, it's like women today with 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.360 their bodies. Yeah right, they're not really so the lie 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.960 is they're cutting their bodies up like they're doing that 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.600 to look someway. They know they're not gonna look that way. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.160 But what it is, you don't look like Kim Kardashian 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.000 Kim Kardashian don't look like Kim Kardashian. But what's funny 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.960 to me is I think that's what it takes to 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.839 get a man or to get a husband, even though 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.720 she didn't went through thirty of them and that's not working. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.920 But they don't care. They don't care because they promote her. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.520 But it's not just promotion. I know. I'm not saying 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.640 it's just because because I'm gonna tell you why it's 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.839 not promotion. Like we could talk about promoting violence and 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.800 how it's affecting our community, it's not affecting the white community. Again, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.800 if we don't deal with why our community is traumatized 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.520 and and trying to avoid reality so much that they're 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.800 literally altering reality as much as they can as much 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.280 as they can consistently funck promotion. Why don't nobody want 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.800 to be a teacher because it doesn't scream success, because 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:29.600 it's not a successful profession. If in the capitalist society 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:35.920 currency it's who is successful. If taking trips is what 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.600 success is. If all of these made up realities, even 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.000 though vacation is the biggest joke in the world, because 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.800 it becomes a false sense of reality of a life 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.000 you're not living, versus trying to fix your everyday life. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.480 We are always trying to avoid reality when you come 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.520 from where we come from because of oppression. That that's 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.839 what it comes back to, right, And the other thing 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.360 is the reason why it doesn't bother white people's because 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.760 our values are completely different, Our upbringings are so different 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.920 when you're coming up, usually in a white family. And 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.840 I'm gonna just say this for the majority, is not 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.360 for all. Is they value being a teacher, a doctor, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.520 They value going to school and higher education. They value 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.480 it and have that is a currency to them, and 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.880 they're very proud of that. Like my son's a surgeon. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.960 He's even if you're rich monetarily, if you're a rapper, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.760 they ain't gonna want to introduce you to Uncle Herbert 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.400 that owns din't like oh my sons. But again that's 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.440 even a little tricky, right, because white people don't value teachers. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.480 That's why teachers are underpaid. They do value surgeons because 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:44.720 again in the capitalist society, somebody is making grand is different. Um, 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.880 But you can be a professor, like I'm a professor 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:52.719 as well. These are not regular professions like these are 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.360 like the tip of the iceberg, of of of of 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.760 excuse me, of of what do you call the medicine. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.200 Like a surgeon is big big dog on campus in 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.240 the in the field of teaching, a professor is a 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.800 big dog on campus. These ain't like math teacher of 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.400 the sixth grade. But they don't make a lot of 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.880 money though either. Like you know, I was trying to 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.160 get a job at s C and I swear it 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.720 was still only trying to pay maybe eighty grand a years. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.960 In today where everything is inflated, that's like making twenty almost. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.840 And I'm gonna just say basically, and so that's why 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.120 I say it goes back to the value system. They 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.840 value education first, right, usually they value that, and that's 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:40.400 what it's been taught generationally. We sometimes our families aren't 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.560 um putting that as a as a primary value because 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.960 we're starting from how to eat. But I'm still gonna 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.960 go back to the promotion. I don't give a funk. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.240 I came back off. I came back pedal off of 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.560 it because even when I think about when I was 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.320 a kid in the eighties coming up, you know what 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.120 I mean, at the end of the day, when we 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.840 see we'll see in our neighborhoods. The dope man or whatever. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.920 They don't have to promote that, okay, but listen to 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.480 sow down my brother. They didn't have to, but they did. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.680 So this is what happened. We see it, and we 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.240 was interested like them, Okay, this is the guy with 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.880 the bread. Then what they do. They allowed and I 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.200 don't give a fun how much controversy in w a 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.520 cause and all this, but they allowed them to come 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.880 out with dope Man and all this ship to where 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.360 Yeah that that Yeah, so now we see that. And 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.520 then they they doubled down on it and made sure 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.640 it was on the radio in our heads all the time. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.640 So now it's in the radio in the heads all 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.840 the time. But they we don't got no songs about 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.520 no doctors. We've got no songs about no doctors. Bro, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.200 we don't got no songs that's going viral or whatever 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.800 the funk they want to call it, that's mainstream about 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.440 no doctors. We don't got no songs that's in here 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.920 telling you to be a surgeon. We don't got no 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.920 songs that's telling us to do to be a teacher. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.520 We just got no songs telling us to do this 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.280 ship with all the songs we got. It's telling us 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:08.800 to kill each other. Be dope, dope people, be rappers, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.160 b NFL athletes or some ship. None of them is 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:19.400 promoting nothing else. In our minds, we're already down, like 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.960 you would say, we are already in poverty. We're already 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.600 in certain ship. We're already seeing it right, actually seeing it. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.920 Able to touch these niggers, were able to touch them up. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.440 But I'm saying, even before promotion, if the only success 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:36.239 you see, remember how we're talking about viewing success, true oppression, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.640 true racism, is exercised economically all other ship, and they 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.400 ain't calling is a joke, man, causing a joke. Violence 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.000 is a joke. Economically is the problem because when you 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.200 get some economics, nicks can't do anything to you. Right, 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.920 So it's all economically. So if you put somebody in 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.680 their most primitive place, right that they're fighting on basic 0:16:55.160 --> 0:17:00.320 needs of life, right, ruf lights, heat, food. If you 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.240 walk outside and you see somebody that has the whole, 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.679 your whole two or three years worth of rent in 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.960 one car, he has a year worth of rent and 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.640 food in one chain. Again success, right, it's right outside 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.080 your house back to the point Dr Hoodie was saying, 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.840 at the end of the day, they walk outside where 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.280 they're from and see successful people in other ways. So 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.760 it also goes back to where we live when we 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.959 are successful doctors, where we are successful because we're not 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.520 in those communities based off of fear or whatever else 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.840 we think it's gonna happen. There's no success is always 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.160 right outside your door. You don't gotta turn on the radio. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.760 I saw n W A Dope Man before n W 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.640 A Dope Man put out the song. I knew who 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.240 that nigga was because that nigga had a foe in 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:56.760 eighty six when I was six. But it's necessary, you know. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.760 But but then you're saying that, and that's cool too. 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:01.840 But then when you look even see you can go 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.280 in what what what? What's that? Uh? Just cross a 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:10.359 hundred in Tims Street. See see that still was music 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.399 back then. That was music back then. That's being promoted. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.920 But I think, but again, I don't think whose responsibility 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.480 is to provide that exposure and to provide the outlet 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:33.159 for But then there's white people provided for themselves. So 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.040 if I've been saying this for years, the only thing 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.919 white people is wrong with us is not apologizing for 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.719 slavery and not paying people reparations because you owe the money. 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.639 It was free labor. You owe the money. If somebody 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.679 works for you, you owe example, it's not free. You 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.000 know it's wrong to have free labor. You admit it is, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.160 Admit it's wrong, and pay the people you owe. Now. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.159 The second part, right, is the black elite separating themselves 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.639 from the black people that are struggling because if you 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.399 only again, let's let's say you turn off the radio. 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.600 Let's say there's no radio. Let's say there's no music. 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.159 Let's say there's no videos. What they're talking about is 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.280 outside you don't gotta hear it. Glamourais you don't gotta 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.600 hear dope man in the song nig as soon as 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.280 you walk outside, I've seen g ray I've seen g 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.800 ray in at eighty seven five point though in eight 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:31.879 seven with Daton hunted spokes shining. You catch my eyes. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.399 This nigga got an eighty seven and eighty selm. But 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.679 they was promoting that nigga to do that ship before 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.400 you was even borne. Do you feel do you guys 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.760 feel that there's some kind of social responsibility that these 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.800 are rappers have for our No, I feel like it's 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.160 not the rappers. I feel like the rappers are doing 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.360 what they're supposed to do. I feel like Dr Hoodie 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.720 isn't doing what she's supposed to do. I feel like 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.159 Uncle Muke is not doing what he's supposed to do 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.159 because the dope dealers is doing their job. Like, if 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.359 you want to get some money, this way, I'm having 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.199 it now. Doctor Hoodie is Doctor Hoodie living on the 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.000 same block or nigger next door, his mom own dope 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.480 and he like, I need to find a way to 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.520 to be successful. So who can I see successful? Okay, 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.960 my time, I worked five years at the level four 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.680 not not definitely not what I mean, definitely not what 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:31.520 I'm saying. If we the thing that makes the white 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.159 community different is success is at all levels. Right, So 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.400 even if they did have a white drug dealer, he's 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.919 gonna live in the same community as a teacher and 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.800 the doctor. Everybody lives on the same against the gate 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.280 ball because see, see what they have trained us to 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.679 think is our best move is to when we Yeah, 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.399 it's all exposed their kids to success in thirty seven 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.639 different ways. Mind you, they don't. They're not trying to 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:00.880 figure out how to eat dinner. The heat is not off, 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.320 their mama's not on crack. Nothing that's happening. Then the 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.360 next thing, even when we are in the hood with 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.760 these these same kids, is back to what you're saying, 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:16.080 you're seeing us because I you know, I'm still in 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.720 the facilities with the lockdown with the youngsters that's fucked 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.640 up and any mama's didn't neglected them and all that ship. 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.520 At the end of the day, they're still seeing us. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.040 They're not seeing us still as successful, no matter what 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.040 we're doing, no matter, no matter. Yeah they're not because 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.840 it ain't they're not. They' nobody else. Ain't nobody talking 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.400 about what we do? But it's not. It's not talking 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.960 about it, right, it's not. That's not the truth. The 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.639 truth is it's not in those communities. And if it is, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.840 they're not coming outside to tell Nobody else is there. 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.200 I've never grew up with a teacher. I lived in 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.560 in a nice part of Compton wats Is Watch, but 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.280 I didn't live in the projects but content right, I 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.399 lived in the forums. I didn't know one person I 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.640 was a teacher. The only person I knew was a nurse, 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.480 was my mama. I don't know a bunch of other 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:05.120 And that's an influent you know, black community and counter 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.680 that's not even like a funked up you know, it's 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.280 still drugs and some gang stuff, but it's it's some 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.520 cash over the different levels of success. I learned about 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.080 farming earlie, I learned about ranching earlier. I learned about 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.720 horse and because it was right in view and they 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:22.240 still get down like that. Remember it wasn't on TV. 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.199 You gotta remember rap wasn't on TV in the eighties 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.560 and rap music was radio on eighties. It ain't about 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.400 to rap. I see, I didn't say rap music. I'm 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.280 talking about music period though, just like I say that, 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.399 you know, just cross a hundred and that's just one 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.200
