The ssment of the 58 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: Titanic Center Distress single like the Thing is the size 59 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: of Sean Diddy Puffy Combs cannot be understated. 60 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: Now. 61 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: I watched the first episode with one of my homeboys 62 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: from Guatemala who is an actor, but he did not 63 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: grow up here and doesn't really know the effects of this, 64 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: and he was trying to understand, like why would anyone 65 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: stick around for this? And we were just like Bro Harvey, 66 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: like Harvey Weinstein like, think about I love this year 67 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: being the this these last few decades being a reckoning 68 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: for sleeves balls right, the person at this size an unfathomable, 69 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: outsized reach, a mogul, like he can truly say a mogul. 70 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: But since day one, whether we're talking about Kanye or 71 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, the hubris, the in destructibility continues to 72 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: be the cat for these people's downfall. Now, I don't 73 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: know when that's happening with Trump, but I tell you 74 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: what everybody else we talk about, the Mount Rushmore or 75 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: as I saw on the internet, the Mount Touch Moore Ha, 76 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: the r Kelly's of the world, Weinstein's, the Epstein's, and 77 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: the Ditties, the Mount truck touch Bore eventually becomes a downfall. Now, 78 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: most Black people are very long suffering. We are long 79 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: suffering for the reason of institutionalized racism. The thing is, 80 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: we understand what other black people had to go through, 81 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: the hurdles they had to jump over to get to 82 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: the stage that they're at. So whenever there's accusations that 83 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: come out, there's allegations that come out about somebody black, 84 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: our first inclination is to side eye it. We want 85 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: to protect because we have not as many options for 86 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: heroes as everybody else does. I was also watching the 87 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy documentary, and there's always this idea that, like 88 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: with with with black megastars, it's like a single file line, 89 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: like you can't like you can't have two in the 90 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: same world, which is what was so interesting about a 91 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: puffy and a sugar night during this era. But anyway, 92 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: I am digressing because I'm so excited about this thing. 93 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: The two things that I want to tap in with 94 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: y'all with is helping y'all understand politically socially. 95 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: Here's what I here's what I realized. 96 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: About black people, specifically Black Americans as Ditty became unfortunately 97 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: the shorthand for homophobia, like I'm not gonna do that, 98 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: no Diddy, it seemed like that was the one thing 99 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: we was ready to crack jokes about, but either we 100 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: were really of all the stuff that we knew about him, 101 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, the baby oil. We could laugh about all that, 102 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: like all that was funny to us, even though we 103 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: knew it was gross, right because it was like the 104 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: worst kept secret. What changed all of us was watching 105 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: this bittery and if you followed black culture, we like, 106 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: put this man up under the jail. I saw one 107 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: that said we need to stab him with a silver 108 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: dildo in his heart. 109 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: We're still funny, but you know what it is. 110 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: We cannot abide by you doing your own folks dirty. 111 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: You had little Homie that produced that last record that 112 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: say he woke up sore without any idea as to 113 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: what happened to him. Oh my gosh, it's rape. Guys 114 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: like that's rape. But I saw another black commentary that 115 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: was just like, you double fucked him because after all that, 116 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you still ain't paying. It made the conversation on Hot 117 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: ninety seven when de Lux, that is, Styles p and 118 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Jadakiss were on the radio yelling at Puffy and Puffy 119 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: being like, nah, I mean you know what I'm saying, like, 120 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: come to the office. 121 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: You ain't got to get on the radio all that. 122 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: Y'all not finna do it. So he was like, Nigga, 123 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: we made a hit. You don't get You're not paying us. 124 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: You're not paying us. Here's a spoiler alert three two one. 125 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: It's revealed in this episode that when Biggie wanted his 126 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: for Biggie's funeral, he took royalties from Biggie's albums to 127 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: pay for it. Biggie paid for his own funeral, just diabolical. 128 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: So you're just seeing person after person talk about how 129 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: did he double fucked him? And if there's one thing 130 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: that black people just will will joke, we we got 131 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: all kind of jokes about Bill Cosby. We know you 132 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: know we're done with you, will crack jokes about you, 133 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: will ignore you. But whenever we're just like, nah, nigga, 134 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: keep him, keep that nigga in jail. There's very few 135 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: people that reach that, one of which is Bill Cosby, 136 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: the other of which is Diddy. And it's because these 137 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: are your day ones. You did your day ones very dirty, 138 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: and Black people just don't abide by that. And the 139 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: second thing I realized in this was how angry I 140 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: got an episode two. You know what that tells me 141 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: we're still not healed from the death of Biggie and Tupac. 142 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: It's also like this international gas lighting, because all of 143 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: us kind of felt like maybe, but then to see 144 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: it all laid out, it's a It's an interesting thing 145 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: to think about, like the state of the African Americans, 146 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: psyche and what when we consider somebody precious and we're 147 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: taken from us too soon. Now we understood somebody like 148 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: a Jimmy Hendrix, he destroyed himself. We understood that he 149 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: was a rare talent. But that acid them drugs. We 150 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: understand that that's a different story, that's a different type 151 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: of tragedy. 152 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: But if you think about the way that. 153 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: We mourned around even like Nipsey Hustle, Nipsey was somebody 154 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: that was making a change, but we understood he was 155 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: a street dude. You lived by the sword, died by 156 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: the sword. We understood what was happening right there that 157 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: at some point that was going to catch up. But 158 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: with these two particular people, what they meant to us, 159 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: the way for which they handled themselves, the fact of 160 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: seeing that they were at one point friends, and what like, 161 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: how did this fall apart? 162 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 2: Is this real? Did he really have a part of it? 163 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: The way that Biggie kept being like listen, I love 164 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: pac The fact that Biggie did not respond to hit 165 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: him up is like yo, Like there were things that 166 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: were brewing in and to think about the vacuum that 167 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: created in mentorship of young artists, of young black men. 168 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 2: We weren't really healed from that. 169 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: I think I realized that we're still not over this, 170 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: and that's also part of why I think we like 171 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: put this man up under the jail.
