Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another edition of hood politics.

Speaker 1: put on the hood today is who I would like

8

Speaker 1: to call my blood gang twin Atlanta counterpart Mr and

Speaker 1: Misho Baraka. Y'all make some noise for a me show.

Speaker 1: Say what's up? Show? Hey? What up? What out block?

00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: Cause I'm out here, I'm out here. I'm out here,

12
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: set tripping homie. You out here Southwestern except not southwest,

Speaker 1: here just trying, you know what I'm saying. Keep the

15
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: callie live out here in Georgia. You me and you

16
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: ain't lost your accent. I love it because hey, you

17
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: know it took. It takes a while for me to

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: get in a groove of things. But first of all,

19
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: let me say I'm excited, man, thank you for having me.

20
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure just to be able to pontificate

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: the deep things of the world with you, bro, Yes,

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: you are the then diagram of what makes this show tick.

23
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: The idea is some of us have had the chance

24
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: to traverse so many different sort of like educational levels,

25
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: socioeconomic levels, like social stratifications. If you believe in these constructs,

26
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: whether you believe it or not, there there you know. Um,

27
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: but being able to say, look, this is where I

28
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: come from, and in this I've gained an understanding of

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: how the world sort of functions. And then you saw

30
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: again the idea of where we got this from parallels

31
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: when you go into sort of dominant culture spaces and

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: you're like, oh word, that's just this right, and and

33
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: the hope of this pod our listeners know. Uh, but again,

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: since it's our first season, I want to keep reiterating, like, um,

35
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the idea is translating, right, is saying not whether this

36
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: is good or bad. We're not giving commentary, We're not

37
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: passing judgment on other stuff. We're just saying, here's a

38
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: way to understand what you're looking at. Yeah. So, and

39
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: as the show goes, we're gonna give our hood vocabulary.

40
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna have our discussion on what's happening in politics,

41
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and then sort of like Get shows take on our

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: this particular episode, Get Shows take on what do you

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: think about it? And how how we could work this out? Right,

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: But all feuds that are expressed by Shobaraca are supported

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: by propagandas. Want to put that up there. We are

46
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: in one agreement, no matter what he says, no matter

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: what I say. All right, let's go, let's test this car.

48
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Let's test this car. I know both of us, right,

49
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: If I were to say secure the bag? What am

50
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: I saying? Hey, what what decade am I end? So

51
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: if it's if it's we're at this decade, if just

52
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: get to make that money. You know what I'm saying,

53
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: that's true. You know what I'm saying back in the

54
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: day was get the gap, the cheese, get the chada, right,

55
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: all of it. We're all saying the same thing. Yeah.

56
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Uh now we're gonna call it the bloomberg. You know

57
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Get the bloomberg where you can burn

58
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: money on stuff you know you're not gonna win. You

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: just and it don't affect you at all. You're just like,

60
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I just wanted to try, right, off right.

61
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do it. I just wanted to

62
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: just shift the conversation just expir I have that much

63
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: power and privilege. I just want to just just to

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: to put a dent in time and just go forward,

65
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: go back to my life. Yeah, because I ain't heard

66
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: nothing from since the ROHNA came out, you know, six

67
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: on a million dollars on some commercials. You could have

68
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: cured this whole thing. A little cobba cup. He could

69
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: have built a bubble. He could have built he probably

70
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: already did anyway, So secure the bag, get to chat

71
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: to get the guap we're talking about, like money, take

72
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: care of the money in using your antennas. If we're

73
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna prioritize, we're gonna triage the priorities, uh, wrapping your hood,

74
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: keeping it real, securing the bag, whatever the case may be.

75
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Where do you think in the level of importance getting

76
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the chedda securing the bag is and in relation to

77
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: all things you're asking me? If we're again we're talking hood,

78
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: this is hood politics. We talk oh bro hood politics.

79
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Getting it's probably up there man, you guys, So now

80
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: this is interesting. I love the way this show is

81
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: proposition and me to have to think not in the

82
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: what am I trying to say? Not in a and

83
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: like in my contemporary church, yeah not like now. Yeah,

84
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, if I was still around my homies

85
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: right now and I'm mature, but I didn't have the

86
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: type of resources I would say the priority, would you know,

87
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: would be one it's it's it's almost like one B

88
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: one as family. It's it's should people, right, it should people.

89
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: And then one B is like we're gonna get We're

90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna get this money because and it's it's sometimes it's synonymous,

91
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: like taking care of my family is to get the bag.

92
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: You see, this is why we do this exactly it

93
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: there's a weird sort of sort of one one and

94
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: then one A exactly what you're saying to where it's

95
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: just like there's sometimes these two things are synonymous. In

96
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: the hood. For y'all listeners who've been following us for

97
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: a while, I mean it's only been five shows, but

98
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: if you've been following us for a while, five just

99
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Hood Politics shows. When Bamboo was talking about like what

100
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: your hood means as far as like your identity and like, yo,

101
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: this is really when we say this is our family,

102
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand this is our family, yea,

103
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: and there is there is no difference, right, So this

104
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: like individualism in the sense of like I'm getting rich

105
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: from myself somewhere in the gangst the mentality is like

106
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: me getting wealthy helps everyone, not absolutely yeah, yeah, and

107
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: it's distorted and incorrect, but well it's and and I

108
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: love the you know you you've always I think you've

109
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: you've you've done a good job of using your you know,

110
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: your your education and your art and exposing how certain

111
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: concepts in one setting can be looked at is detrimental,

112
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: but as as something that is um noble and another

113
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: and this very thing, right is is sometimes applauded in

114
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the more corporate capitalistic frame um spaces, so because people

115
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: will will do whatever it takes to get the money

116
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: in those settings in a legal way, and they're applauded

117
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: and they're promoted and they're giving board positions. But you

118
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: take somebody who does the same activity and a context

119
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: where they may have to partial perpetuate some illegal activities.

120
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Then their thugs and the gangsters and the criminals, right,

121
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and they're using the same principles. They're like they're using

122
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: the same ethic work ethic. Right, they're saying that the

123
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: only thing that's gonna stop me from getting this money

124
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: is uh, well, nothing's gonna stop me from getting this money.

125
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: And there's only a few people that I won't violate

126
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: in order to support this this this goal. And in

127
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: the same way, there are people who wear suits and

128
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: ties and who makes some very important decisions in our

129
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: country who will only consider not violating those people who

130
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: are closest to them in order to shoot their go

131
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: It's like you're reading my notes and I'm again I'm

132
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna remind everybody every guest comes in blind. They have

133
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: no idea what I'm talking about. Yeah, show up, my lion.

134
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: You had no idea, not no you. I said, what

135
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: are we gonna talk about? He's like, nah, man. I

136
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: was like, I need you to come in blind because

137
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: it's proof of it's proof of concept. You already got it.

138
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: You already know what you already know. Like, I don't

139
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: have to prep you because you already know. Yeah. So

140
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: so this, yeah, this this like when when you look

141
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: at the same principle in a different context. And and

142
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: I'd even challenge the idea of like what is legal

143
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: because that's fluid also, right, you know, and the type

144
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: of legality, so you have like blue collar crimes, white

145
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: collar crimes, and evasion is still a crime, you know

146
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, right, finding corporate loopholes like and then

147
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: there's then there's something that's interesting to me to where

148
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: it's like maybe something is a isn't a crime, it

149
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: just sucks right where it's just like that's just a

150
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: whack thing to do. So for instance, uh, I was talking,

151
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: So I have a podcast as well, which yes you do,

152
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: which that plugable. Soon you'll be on uh that particular

153
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: show are you You're on it, but we'll be releasing

154
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: an episode either way. That's not the point. The point

155
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: is yesterday my crew and I we were talking about um.

156
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Recently there were individuals who bought up eighteen thousand bottles

157
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: of sanitizer in Tennessee and they tried to they bought

158
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: it up and then they tried to resell it, but

159
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: they were probably scalaging and they were selling it for

160
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: like sixty to eighty dollars for a bottle of sanitizer.

161
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Now if we look at Amazon shut them down. Yeah.

162
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Amazon was like no, because we're not having it now

163
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: that's very legal. They can do what they can leave that,

164
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: But to your point, like that sucks in a lot

165
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: of ways because there are some people who are running

166
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: around here who don't have eighty dollars of discretionary income

167
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: to buy a bottle of sanitizer, right, and so for them,

168
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: these are these are some folks who are left out

169
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: of the market because somebody has monopolized the market. And

170
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: what it's this, it's in a in a way, it's

171
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: genius capitalism. And I think in some ways with folks

172
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: like you and I have to begin to wrestle with

173
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: if we believe that capitalism maybe one of the alternatives

174
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: to alleviate poverty, we it can't be the capitalism in

175
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: which we're operating in now, right. There has to be

176
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: a more benevolent or more charitable capitalism, yes, that free

177
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: market capitalism. See I always I've been saying I've been

178
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: saying this for a while. I've been trying to put it,

179
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: put words to it, but of force the sentiment. But

180
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I finally got words to it. It's like I would

181
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: be a libertarian, like a left wing libertarian, if there

182
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: was no such thing as racism or price couching, those

183
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: those these things greed, I would be a libertarian, you

184
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, right because I can't think of because,

185
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: like you said, the free market says supply and demand

186
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: right where it's just like, yo, I'll charge what y'all

187
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: will pay. You understand I'm saying, So like if you won't,

188
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, am I wrong? If you're willing to pay

189
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: for it, there's you need hand sanitizer. I got hand sanitizing.

190
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: You'll pay what, you know what I'm saying. But all

191
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: of us, intrinsically, like you said, you just we feel

192
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that whether that's legal or not, that sucks. You understand,

193
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: we need this in that sense. A regulatory body that said,

194
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: which was in this this scenario, Amazon was like, fat,

195
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: you can't, like you can't do that right And I

196
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: can't think of in case y'all don't know. Both of

197
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: us on this pod are black, So I can't think

198
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: of any right I have in my in this country

199
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that didn't come from government intervention. A regulatory force had

200
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: to come in and say, hey, listen, African Africans are humans,

201
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: right like you can't. So it's it's just like you said,

202
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: like for us to just say, like this idea of

203
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: just this free market economy, Like if humans were not

204
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: falling individuals, I would be like hell yeah, but like

205
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: we just can't. I just can't trust an unchecked economy

206
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: to treat us fairly. I would be a total libertarian

207
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for racism. So you nailed it. So

208
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: you nailed it. It's the idea that like secure in

209
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 1: the bag, uh for me and mine, whether something is

210
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: gray or grayly um illegal or explicitly illegal, or frowned

211
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: upon or celebrated oftentimes depends on your social intersection and

212
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: where you are in your position existing and living in

213
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: that exact space with the rona. Bro, did you know

214
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: that this is this is this is this is deep.

215
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: This is an interesting time, my friend. Yes, here's so.

216
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. First of all, you know, the

217
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: World Health Organization had um plenty of test kids and

218
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: we turned them down. Oh I did not know that. Yeah,

219
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: we could have had this uh weeks ago. We could

220
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: have had all the test kids we needed weeks ago.

221
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: So what was the reason, What was the reason for

222
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: turning to down? It is just that they didn't think

223
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: it was gonna be necessary or just like well, this

224
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: is what I want to talk to you about. Yeah,

225
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: take take a guess as to why anyone would turn

226
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: down test kids. Well, all things that make no sense,

227
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: all things that that befuddling to me and and and

228
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: puzzling to me ultimately leads back to the our administration

229
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: and the people who run our administration totally. So it

230
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: has to be for some reason that our administration has

231
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: some ridiculous reason to why it wasn't necessary. Maybe they

232
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: felt it came from China. I don't know. Here's the thing.

233
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: What do you think we talked about right now? We

234
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: talked about the you're in the bag money, There we

235
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: go money, So here we go. That was a twelve

236
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: week delay. Right now, there's a company called Oscar Health

237
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: that's developing a test kit. Right guess who wants oscar health?

238
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: Tell me Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner owns oh Oscar Health.

239
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: So I don't need yourys because I'm trying to make

240
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: up my secure the bag right now. Now. You can

241
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: call that whatever you want. It depends on your social location.

242
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's illegal, maybe that sucks, or maybe they

243
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: just secure in the bag. I mean, and this so

244
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: that this is where now, man, this is so I

245
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: think for me, there's a difference. There's ethical business, there's

246
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: ethical practices, and then there's there's there's securing the bag

247
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: um in securing the bag, there's always people. Very seldomly

248
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: will will people not consider their own selfish interest and

249
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: taking advantage of opportunity right or or season and opportunity.

250
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: I think we think about history, A lot of people

251
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: have gotten rich during because of wars. Uh. And I'm

252
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: not talking about those folks who are in wars. I'm

253
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: talking about people who took advantage of property, took advantage

254
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: of insurances policies, who have taken advantage of declining markets,

255
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: and they had the capital to invest in something. When

256
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the markets began to stabilize, our wars began to cease,

257
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: they made money off of those decisions they made. And

258
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, and so this is another kind of like

259
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: wartime issue or scenario where it's like you know what

260
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: things are going to Yeah, things are going to decline,

261
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: people are gonna be hitting on falling on bad times.

262
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Those people with money, they seize an opportunity. It's like

263
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: a wounded animal in the in the in the in

264
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: the jungle, right, and this is where it takes. This

265
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: is where it takes some sort of social apter. I

266
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: just I just don't know, like it's religious foundations it

267
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: could be, or it just an understanding of a common

268
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: good to where it's like I just can't take advantage

269
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: of the most vulnerable people in this situation from my

270
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: own selfish benefit. Yes, common good. Yeah, that's not even

271
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: it though, that's not even the main bag being secured

272
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: right now. Oh gosh, you got more, gets worse, gets worse.

273
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: So there's a company in Berlin, Okay, in Berlin, Germany

274
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: name cure Vac, and they have the most promising coronavirus vaccine.

275
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: You you're following me, I'm following you right, and if

276
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: you if you've been following the news in any way,

277
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical companies is no different than the narcotic companies.

278
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: This is this is populo Escobar, y'all all, just Escobar.

279
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: Just you know what I'm saying. Just some of y'all

280
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: get the selling stores, others got the selling streets. This

281
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: is just it's just drugs, right in the hope. With drugs. Unfortunately,

282
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: as far as the business side securing the bag is,

283
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: you need more customers, right, and you need repeat customers, right.

284
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: So that's just it's just it's it's drug dealing. So

285
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: so cure Vac isn't is a firm in Germany and

286
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: they had the most promising vaccine. Does that seem like,

287
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: in a pandemic an unbelievable bag to secure, right if

288
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: you got the most So our president was in the

289
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: business of trying to persuade this German company to give

290
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: exclusive rights to the United States to only sell this

291
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: vaccine to the un United States, right, it's the global pandemic.

292
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, yo, why don't you just sell that

293
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: to us only? Right? And then the German government got

294
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: involved and they was basically like, nigga, what the what

295
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: nigga No, no, guys, we can't allow this. Okay, had

296
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: a vaccine, Big Homie came in, Big Homie came through.

297
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: Was like, nah, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta square

298
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: to this LP right. Oh lord right. So so the

299
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: US official, the US like ambassador to Germany, was like, listen, man,

300
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: that story is not your your playing. It's widely overplayed.

301
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: That's not what's happening, right, which, of course, of course

302
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: that's what you should say, but a German Health ministry spokesman,

303
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: confirming the quote of the newspaper that said, the German

304
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: government is very interested in ensuring that the vaccines and

305
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: active substances against the new coronavirus are developed in Germany

306
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: and Europe, right and in in this regard, the government

307
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: is in intensive exchange with the company of Kurevak, right,

308
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: which they and they're basically and the owner of Curevak

309
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: is like, look, dude, I'm trying to make this for everybody, right,

310
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: like I y'all tripping right um, And the company says

311
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: that they rejects the current rumors of like this accusition,

312
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: like nobody's right, nobody's gonna buy us, okay, right, we

313
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: want to help people not just uh, regionally, but across

314
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: the whole world. And they said it would be glad

315
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: if they could achieve this through my long term investments

316
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: out of Germany. So essentially he's saying, full, I'm not

317
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: finn to sell it just to you, but that don't

318
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: mean I'm not for sale, right right, right, right, right right? Yeah.

319
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: So what what makes this so interesting to me is

320
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: one would think in a global pandemic, like I don't

321
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: how anybody's talking about money. Well, I hear you. I

322
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: just I'm not as I'm not so naive to think

323
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: that everybody is so is altruistic, right, I think about

324
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: I think about I definitely think about activism. There are

325
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: some people who are genuinely called to activism, and those

326
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: folks are folks who are just willing to die there

327
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, folks who tend to not be wealthy. But

328
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: I think what our problem is as folks who, as

329
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: you said earlier in your introduction of me operating different

330
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: ven diagrams, we have there's a piece of us who

331
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: have activism is in US, and we have a bit

332
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: of entrepreneurship in US, right, and we operate in entrepreneurs

333
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: spaces with with hopefully most of the times, with the

334
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: heart of altruism is like, yeah, i want to make

335
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: as much money as possible, but also I'm not going

336
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: to sell my soul. The thing that we have to

337
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: understand is everybody doesn't operate like this. Is how people

338
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: become extremely wealthy Black folks as well Black people too,

339
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: for instance. And this is there's this is not apple

340
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: to apples, but a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure

341
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: you are up abreast on all the information about Within

342
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: a week period, Calice wrought an opted about the Neptunes

343
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: and how she felt like she was exploited through her

344
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: record deal. Mace went on a Instagram rent about Patty Right,

345
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: and then recently MEGANA. Stallion has talked about how she

346
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: feels like her. This is interesting, right, because what we

347
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: were constantly talking about as as African Americans are black

348
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: folks in America is that there are systems in place

349
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: that keep us from thriving and building wealth. But these

350
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: are all black individuals who are and there, and the

351
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: accusation is that these African Americans are creating oppressive structures

352
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: that are keeping other black people down, other Black people down. Yes,

353
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: the way that our process this is like it's it's

354
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: not always family doesn't matter. It's when you begin to

355
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: operating systems, it don't matter. Anybody can get it. Anybody

356
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: will get it. That's the part that blows my mind.

357
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: Anybody just get it. It's just when the when the

358
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: bag is in danger, anybody ever and so and so

359
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: the way I even think about this is like, man,

360
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: it breaks my heart on a global level that yeah,

361
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: these individuals are thinking about I have this product. I'm

362
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: also willing to sell this product, but I don't want

363
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: to be I don't want it to be monopolized. I

364
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know if it's any different from us on a

365
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: micro level. When we're thinking about samples, right, it's like,

366
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: isn't music for everybody? But guess what I nigga come

367
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: around trying to sample my music. I'm like, hold on,

368
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: bro hold on, how many records? You say? Okay, exactly,

369
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on you want to But

370
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: I recognized it's not like a death situations, so it's

371
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: not the same, you know. But yeah, but we also

372
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: got to understand that even though um, everybody's trying to

373
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: an expectation of currency and revenue that people expect to

374
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: come into their house, You and I have a certain

375
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: budget in order to make our house operate and function.

376
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: These companies in some way, they have an excess of money,

377
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: but some of them are thinking, like, the only way

378
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: that we can function is by continuing to sell our product,

379
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: and if we just give away everything, then we may

380
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: not be able to operate in a way that we should.

381
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Now I'm not trying to say that with the decisions

382
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: that they're making are legitimate. I'm just saying, like I

383
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: do think we can't oversimplify things in a way, nor

384
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: do we, nor can we the same social framework that

385
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: we have on them. Yeah, not only that, there's a

386
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: cost of goods, right, So when I think about, like

387
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: why a shirt that I'm selling you, like, it's a

388
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: T shirt, but why does it cost fifty dollars? Well,

389
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to ethics. I need to price my shirts,

390
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: you do one because I moved away. I moved to

391
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: ethnically sourced shirts, you know what I'm saying. So, like,

392
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: so these shirts are ethnically sourced, right, I gotta pay

393
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: my web brows, my web host, I gotta pay the

394
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: shipping program, and I gotta make a little money. And

395
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the shirt itself costs more because it's ethnically sourced. So

396
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I would love to give you this shirt, yeah,

397
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: but it cost me thirty dollars, you know what I'm saying.

398
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: So there's a reality of like you blow that up

399
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: to a corporation to where there's like, okay, there was

400
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: this is like six hundred million dollars in research and

401
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: staff and stuff like that, in patents and stuff like

402
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: that that like yo, I mean, yeah, it's gonna save

403
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: the world, but it also bankrupted me, you know what

404
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Um, so there's yeah, there's like this weird

405
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: like you know, dichotomy of this, which is just like

406
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: the same reason why track was invented, because coach cost

407
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: so much, You're said, I'm saying, right, So, so all

408
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: I figured out a way to make to get that

409
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: same product cheaper and make more for it and I

410
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: get return customers. You understand what I'm saying. Did maybe

411
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about it differently, right, absolutely, bro. I

412
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: have a friend who works in AIDS research and she's, uh,

413
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: she used to work with the cdd CDC and she

414
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: did a lot of work in Ethiopia and South Africa.

415
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: She was telling me about, um a couple of years ago,

416
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: how in South Africa they were and I'm and this,

417
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mess up the story a little bit because

418
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, years ago, but basically South Africa they were

419
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: using a drug that was copied written by a company

420
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: in America, and so but this drug was saving lives

421
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: of HIV patients in Africa, changing not only changing the

422
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: lives of individuals, but decreasing the transmission rate of HIV

423
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: and AIDS and changing not only a nation but a continent. Right, Basically,

424
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: this company in America sued suit the good Lord to

425
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Lord the South African I think it was government or

426
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: and saying you have to cease and desist in using

427
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: our our our medicine. And I'm so wed to think

428
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: about that's crazy to me. It's crazy to me to say, damn,

429
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: like you guys don't see the benefit and and and

430
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: and this product being used to change, to ship change

431
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: and shape this uh, this particular nation to save lives

432
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: because not even yeah, not even opportunity, Like I like

433
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: the idea like obviously showing me well, I know, I know,

434
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: me mean hell of progressive, you know what I'm saying,

435
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: uh in certain ways, right, So like the idea that like, okay,

436
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: but there's an asterisk next to my progressiveness because I'm like,

437
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: I I don't want to have this idea that like

438
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: the problem of all of the world is them, so

439
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: if you just fix them. Right, So for the progressive,

440
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: the problem of the world is the corporation, you know

441
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, but corporations are people. The part

442
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: in me that blows my mind is like how did

443
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: that corporation not why is there not a person on

444
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: the other end of that phone that sent that season

445
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: desist letter that says, hey, look guys, uh, okay, we

446
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: do own this, but is there a way we can

447
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: figure this out, because like, it cost us a lot

448
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: to make this, so so let's like figure something out.

449
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: It's great that people are coming alive at the same time,

450
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: like Loki, like I'm in the whole seven seven million

451
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: dollars see what I'm saying, so and part yeah, yeah,

452
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: excellent point. And to get even more nuanced, let's just hypothetically,

453
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: let's say that there was somebody, let's say that the

454
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: company on multiple times, was like, we're gonna be lenient,

455
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna be lenient with you guys, and uh, but

456
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: they've reached out to this you know whoever. These individuals

457
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: were in South Africa and they were like, hey, we've

458
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: tried to work out something and you guys are just

459
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: blatantly disrespecting our agreement and so now we have to

460
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: cease and desist the situation, and so now we look

461
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: like the bad guy, you know what I mean? Like,

462
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: so these are these are the situations that you know,

463
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: it depending on who tells the story or spends it,

464
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: it looks it looks unfavorable to a certain particular party,

465
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: and so these are it's just man, this is why

466
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: business right, this is why business and transaction is murky

467
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: in the first place. And uh, I'm no communists, but

468
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: I also recognize no matter what institution we were, like

469
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: whatever whatever structure we institute within our our society to

470
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: your point, where individuals who have selfish interests and we're

471
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to corrupt that thing. Yes, so,

472
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: but this is why. So it's just gangbanging. Like at

473
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm just like, this is

474
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: just like absolutely, that's why it makes sense. That's why

475
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me. That's why I'm like, I

476
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm looking at, y'all. A gangbanging bang is

477
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: good on so many levels. Gangbanging in the less on

478
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: a community level. When you think about p T A.

479
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: S and school like school like that's a gang banging too.

480
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: Like you got a bunch of mothers who walking in

481
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: a space and say, hey, we need this or somebody's

482
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna lose their job. It's like work, y'all just came

483
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: in here like you've been a fix this playground exactly,

484
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: or you're losing your job, or I don't like the

485
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: fact that this is a real situation. I know of

486
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: a school. Um, there's a gentleman who gives a lot

487
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: of money to a particular school. His son is a

488
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: quarterback of the team. His son is not even nowhere

489
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: near the best quarterback on that particular team. But guess who.

490
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: Guess who gets Guess who start? Guess who gets who?

491
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: You don't start, but guess who gets a lot of

492
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: playing time on this particular team with another kid whose

493
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: son or another kid who happens to be African American

494
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: and his parents aren't his wealthy. But the moment this

495
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: this kid stops getting snaps, guess whose money probably gonna

496
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: stop flip funding this particular school. You gotta get that

497
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: bad back. And so this is what I'm saying. This

498
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: gang banging happens on so many different levels. You yeah,

499
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: strong on, folks, right, and uh money speaks and into

500
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: the to the whole price gall ging and the formaceutical

501
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: It's at the point it's like, how do we take

502
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: the power and the resources that we have and not

503
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: just say what's most beneficial for me, But how can

504
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: I help other folks as well? You wrapped it up gloriously.

505
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: I can have this conversation with you all day, every day. Bro,

506
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Look, Hey, do you got

Speaker 1: their eyes were watching. It's my first single and our

511
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: my first solo song in three years. And uh yeah, man, y'all,

512
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: y'all check it out, y'all buy my my new album.

513
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: I dropped a new album called Nothing but a Word

514
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: with my boy. And you know what I'm saying, Let

515
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: me let me let me brag on Show right quick.

516
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Like I always felt like Show was, like I joked

517
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: about being a twin, but I think there was so

518
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: many times that like we've been separate from each other,

519
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: thinking the same things and not knowing we were thinking

520
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: the same things, and then just watching out beating beating

521
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: somebody to the punches. It's a little too competitive, but

522
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: that's what was happening. But there were, yeah, but there

523
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: were times that he would be saying things and one

524
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: of those things that Show did being like, um, so

525
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: far ahead of the wave, like we talked about last

526
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: week with with Derek and again I got it from Merse.

527
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's hard to wipe ride the wave and

528
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: you're ahead of it, you know what I'm saying. So,

529
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: like the thing with Show is like Show was the

530
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: first to put a cuss word on a Christian rap song.

531
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Show, You know what I'm saying, Like, Uh,

532
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: Show as far as like Christian rap, as far as

533
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: ah as an infrastructure. You know what I'm saying. Um,

534
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Show was first to be like, man, I don't think

535
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: this system is working for us. You know, Show has

536
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: always thought five, six, seven steps ahead of everyone. So

537
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: when you listen to his music and what he's trying

538
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: to do, and um, it's amazing. Show is also a

539
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: two trillion percent artists, so this is never on time

540
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: and he's the hardest person I've ever toured with ever.

541
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, we can't get anything done, but good lord,

542
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: this guy's brilliant. Hey man, I'm trying to break that cycle.
