Speaker 1: That's what's up.
Speaker 2: Family.
Speaker 1: It's your girl Sami ka Z Mallory, and.
Speaker 3: It's your boy, my son, and we are your.
Speaker 1: Host of street politicians, the place where the streets and
Speaker 1: politics me. What's my son, Lennon?
Speaker 3: How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm very tired today because I'm on vacation again and
Speaker 1: it's the month of August. It's supposed to be my
Speaker 1: rejuvenation month to get ready for people coming back in
Speaker 1: the fall. And I've worked almost I will not say
Speaker 1: every because that would be exaggeration, but I might as
Speaker 1: well have been working every day and some days really
Speaker 1: hard during my vacation, and I'm actually resenting it because
Speaker 1: it's over.
Speaker 3: I mean, what is really hard? You know? What does
Speaker 3: that actually mean?
Speaker 1: It means things like I don't want to be doing anything,
Speaker 1: and then I have to travel somewhere and I got
Speaker 1: to talk. I don't want to get my makeup done,
Speaker 1: but I have to so I can travel to the
Speaker 1: place to do the thing. Then when I get back
Speaker 1: from the place, I have to do tape a show,
Speaker 1: do two interviews. Right then. It means Linda calls me
Speaker 1: and she has no boundary about a vacation, although she
Speaker 1: tries she really does. But she calls me and says, Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it later, but I just want to
Speaker 1: tell you these sixteen thousand things. It looks like Janice,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be on vacation and she's sitting here
Speaker 1: trying to say it's a new season and we need
Speaker 1: to do this, and need to organize this, and this,
Speaker 1: that and the third. It looks like responding to emails.
Speaker 1: It's too much like there's no curious vacation.
Speaker 3: Okay, it seems like you had a vacation. But cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, but did you see me work during the time
Speaker 1: when I was on vacation.
Speaker 4: There was there were there were periodic works. You're hearing it,
Speaker 4: but we cool.
Speaker 3: I know, I get it.
Speaker 1: You don't even know what a vacation is, so therefore
Speaker 1: it's you don't you you don't even understand. Then you
Speaker 1: don't even you really don't know. It's sad for you.
Speaker 1: Vacation is supposed to mean that for an x amount
Speaker 1: of days, you just turn off everything and just focus
Speaker 1: on self care. I've not had that. I've had two
Speaker 1: days here and in the day he is supposed to
Speaker 1: be a month. I was supposed to come back in
Speaker 1: September like.
Speaker 3: Who okay, right, yeah, I don't even know the concept
Speaker 3: through that. Now.
Speaker 1: The sad part is you don't even really care. See
Speaker 1: that's that's that's worse than not.
Speaker 3: My life is not set up like that.
Speaker 4: If I, if I, if I have like vacation for
Speaker 4: a month, everything around me with crumbled.
Speaker 3: It would literally just for I'm just being honest.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 1: But no, no, it's designed to make you feel that way,
Speaker 1: and it's actually not true. No no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I'm telling you you that is not true.
Speaker 1: You believe that because it's got anyway, Let's go on
Speaker 1: to the topics because that's not true. But that's what
Speaker 1: that the rat race is designed to make you feel
Speaker 1: that as soon as you step away, even for thirty days,
Speaker 1: that ever, when you come back, it's going to be
Speaker 1: like like a disaster. It's not true because there are
Speaker 1: systems in place, at least at until freedom, where things
Speaker 1: are still rolling regardless of whether we show up or not.
Speaker 4: That's not But that's why Linda calls you in this
Speaker 4: in the mode because it ain't rolling, right, shit, don't
Speaker 4: be rolling like it just be like and sometimes you
Speaker 4: need a little the role. So if we literally took
Speaker 4: thirty days off from like the work that we do
Speaker 4: is not like, it's not it's not of vacation. It's
Speaker 4: just not it's not realistic.
Speaker 1: We want you to know this as we move on
Speaker 1: to our topics of the day, that you also will
Speaker 1: come to me like a back in hell or out
Speaker 1: of hell, saying we have to I need you to
Speaker 1: focus on such statistic. But I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Because sensitive ship that you don't know. It's not like
Speaker 3: you forgot that.
Speaker 4: It's not because we have an event that we've been
Speaker 4: trying to plan and now we got to push you
Speaker 4: back to another month. It was supposed to be in August,
Speaker 4: now we push you to September. Now we're saying it's
Speaker 4: gonna be October.
Speaker 1: I don't think it should happen into November. So I'm
Speaker 1: in I'm definitely not the person you want to talk
Speaker 1: to November.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 1: I just saying to you that for the next two months,
Speaker 1: you basically are going to be physically living in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: dealing with Daniel Cameron, and you talking about doing something
Speaker 1: major in New York City.
Speaker 3: Let's move on this one day. We could go back
Speaker 3: one day and do it.
Speaker 1: Not about the going back, it's about this is why
Speaker 1: I keep having the same art. And I realized that
Speaker 1: men especially don't always understand this, especially when you work
Speaker 1: with women who deal with day to day details. Okay,
Speaker 1: not all men, some men. The details of getting to
Speaker 1: the day that you're talking about requires the phone to
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about planning four things at once, which
Speaker 1: means the phone is ringing now twenty four hours a
Speaker 1: day because the people for your event want to start
Speaker 1: calling at ten o'clock at night. The other people it's
Speaker 1: too much things, It's too much thing. Y'all people are workaholics.
Speaker 1: Y'all need help. Y'all need to go to a program.
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of people out here who are
Speaker 1: listening to this who need to go to a program
Speaker 1: for work a non I mean work of hot halics.
Speaker 1: There needs to be therapy specifically designed for movement people,
Speaker 1: people who are leaders and activists, to learn how to
Speaker 1: sit down. That's all I have to say. So it's
Speaker 1: the sixtieth anniversary of the March on Washington, which was
Speaker 1: another time when people were working themselves to death. But
Speaker 1: the March happened sixty years ago where doctor King made
Speaker 1: an incredible, impactful, memorable, forever ever ever speech that people
Speaker 1: will just never will never forget it. You know, it's
Speaker 1: always going to be etched in our minds that day
Speaker 1: when he spoke, in two hundred and fifty thousand people
Speaker 1: were on the mall in Washington, DC under the tagline
Speaker 1: of jobs and freedom. They were fighting for jobs and freedom.
Speaker 1: Sixty years ago, we're still fighting the same fight. They
Speaker 1: claimed the Biden administration that there's more jobs in the
Speaker 1: economy than ever before and that this president is going
Speaker 1: to go down in history for bringing back jobs. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say there are no jobs, because if
Speaker 1: you want a job, there are certain there's jobs. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying there's not, but the types of jobs that
Speaker 1: people need to live successfully and to feel free, financially free.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who are looking for
Speaker 1: those jobs and they are not finding Okay, so you
Speaker 1: know that there needs to be some conversation about that. However,
Speaker 1: I will say that you know there's.
Speaker 4: Build because at the end of the day, right like
Speaker 4: a company can only hire with a certain amount of people, right, Like,
Speaker 4: what do you do to create jobs.
Speaker 3: That are not there.
Speaker 1: Well, technology is taking away a lot of jobs. So
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying that. But that's my point that
Speaker 1: I'm making that you could go get a job to
Speaker 1: flip a burger, which is fine. You can get a
Speaker 1: sanitation job probably right. You could get jobs that It's
Speaker 1: very rare that they can take make technology take over
Speaker 1: the entire thing. I mean, they do have some in
Speaker 1: other countries McDonald's and others that are surviving literally without
Speaker 1: having maybe one employee to open up. But everything else
Speaker 1: is technology. But that still a lot of places are
Speaker 1: still gonna want humans to oversee the.
Speaker 4: Projects because once some because I'm thinking, like what it
Speaker 4: would be a disaster if you got a completely you know.
Speaker 3: Store ran by computers.
Speaker 1: And today that is, if there isn't one.
Speaker 4: Right like somebody you make it my food and you
Speaker 4: put the wrong ship and everything to start glitching like that.
Speaker 3: Shit could be a disaster and it could completely.
Speaker 1: I don't think so it probably can. They probably men
Speaker 1: from wherever they're sitting, they can shut it.
Speaker 3: Down, I hope.
Speaker 1: So you see what I'm saying, because the system. The
Speaker 1: one thing about technology is that if you tell it cheeseburger,
Speaker 1: Swiss cheese, tomatoes, mustard. It's going to do exactly that.
Speaker 3: Until until it messes up. Then until it does it.
Speaker 4: Like you think about we computers, like because we we
Speaker 4: we we intake it in.
Speaker 3: The computer was made by you.
Speaker 4: So the fact that you can go crazy with the computer,
Speaker 4: the computer can go crazy too.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: You know many times computers that fucked up the glitch
Speaker 4: in all type of ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you put too much faith for that computer you want.
Speaker 1: No, Oh, it's not because it's going to be less
Speaker 1: likely to feel Let's just put it that way. But
Speaker 1: the point is to get back to the original thing
Speaker 1: that we were discussing, is that the March in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty three where doctor King delivered that I Have a
Speaker 1: Dream speech, the famous I Have a Dream speech was
Speaker 1: about jobs and freedom, and freedom means so many different things.
Speaker 1: So obviously during that time they were in the midst
Speaker 1: of a civil rights battle. They were in the midst
Speaker 1: of so many different battles, still dealing with or at
Speaker 1: that time, dealing with police accountability or police brutality, dealing
Speaker 1: with racism, dealing with white supremacy, all of that. So
Speaker 1: jobs in freedom, it was like the economic peace, and
Speaker 1: then all the social justice causes all sort of like
Speaker 1: mixed up together. And so still today it's a continuation.
Speaker 1: It's not the end of or even a new beginning,
Speaker 1: because there is not, there's never been a completion of
Speaker 1: the things that they were fighting for that they went
Speaker 1: to the mall by those large numbers four in sixty
Speaker 1: in sixty, and so here we are commemorating a powerful occasion.
Speaker 1: And the reason why, one of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: would say it was extremely powerful is because the diversity
Speaker 1: of individuals involved in that march too, you know, all
Speaker 1: those that came together because they were in a real struggle.
Speaker 1: And through that movement there were winds. You know, there
Speaker 1: were winds, there were strides made, and so you know,
Speaker 1: it was a powerful occasion. And here we are again
Speaker 1: commemorating it. And but one thing I will say that
Speaker 1: most people don't talk about is that women were not
Speaker 1: allowed to speak. I believe Mahelia Jackson was the only
Speaker 1: person on the program, only woman on the program, and
Speaker 1: she was there as not an entertainer, even though yes
Speaker 1: she was it was for song, but still she was
Speaker 1: so much more to the movement. I mean, she was
Speaker 1: doctor King's friend, you know, she was there, you know,
Speaker 1: rooting him on from the sideline. So she was the
Speaker 1: only woman that was on the program. No other woman
Speaker 1: was allowed to speak. And so you know, I want
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to Reverend William Barber, who
Speaker 1: actually is a part of the sixtieth anniversary. He had
Speaker 1: a program whereas all women speaking, all women you know
Speaker 1: who are delivering a sort of keynote addresses or put
Speaker 1: a part of a program just to make sure that
Speaker 1: women are celebrated. And we really show the progression even
Speaker 1: with that of how women are in very important leadership
Speaker 1: roles within a movement. So that's the deal on the
Speaker 1: sixtieth anniversary. More work to be done, but we must
Speaker 1: always remember.
Speaker 4: Always remember man, shout out to doctor King. He's one
Speaker 4: of my you know, he's one of my icons that
Speaker 4: I have on my wall I look at daily, you know,
Speaker 4: if you don't know, I have pictures on my walls of.
Speaker 3: Civil rights leaders, activists.
Speaker 4: Who in their mug shots, you know, and and for me,
Speaker 4: it just shows a lot of our civil rights leaders
Speaker 4: were criminalized and for nothing act you know, and some
Speaker 4: of them actually I got I got Malcolm Little's picture
Speaker 4: here for when he was actually you know, outside, so
Speaker 4: it's different, you know, variations and you know of different leaders.
Speaker 4: But just shout out to the march on Washington. You know,
Speaker 4: it's set up precedence. You know, it inspired a lot
Speaker 4: of us. You know the speech that doctor King made
Speaker 4: that day, you know, historical, legendary, and it gave us
Speaker 4: a lot to look forward to.
Speaker 3: It gave us a lot to aspire to. So I
Speaker 3: just want to show what a serious cause, serious cause, man,
Speaker 3: jobs and freedom.
Speaker 4: We still need jobs and freedom. But at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, we still marching for the same shit. Man,
Speaker 4: We're still fighting for the same ship. And it's like,
Speaker 4: I don't know sometimes I don't.
Speaker 1: Know the battle though. The battle is long. The battle
Speaker 1: for freedom is long. It's not a short And they
Speaker 1: and and and it took us So what do they say?
Speaker 1: It took us so many? Uh what it's a it's
Speaker 1: a certain kind of statement. But the point is that
Speaker 1: we it took a long time to get to where
Speaker 1: we are. There's no way that it will be unraveled overnight.
Speaker 1: Is it a shame? Certainly? Both should we also understand
Speaker 1: that the system is designed to keep us fighting, and
Speaker 1: we have to. You can't drop the ball. While there
Speaker 1: are other people who are trying to carve new paths
Speaker 1: and new lanes, some people have to be there. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like if there's a fire in the house,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a group that comes in just to
Speaker 1: stop the fire, just to stop the fire. Then they're
Speaker 1: new clean up people, and then they're folks who think
Speaker 1: about what do you do in terms of building a
Speaker 1: new house, tearing it down, rebuilding, remodeling, reshaping. There's also
Speaker 1: a group of people that come in and try to
Speaker 1: find housing and care for the people who are displaced
Speaker 1: because of the fire. So it's so many elements and
Speaker 1: movements are just the same. And speaking of fires, no
Speaker 1: pun intended. But the shooting situation, the mass shooting thing,
Speaker 1: it is on the rise. Again, not to say that
Speaker 1: it really stopped, because a lot of times we don't
Speaker 1: hear about mass shootings, especially if one or two people
Speaker 1: would shot. And of course in our communities every day
Speaker 1: there are mass shootings where people black folks, brown folks,
Speaker 1: people who look like us are being shot and or
Speaker 1: shooting people, and that we classify that in the mass
Speaker 1: shooting department. However, when we talk about colleges and now
Speaker 1: the Dollar General, you know, stores, grocery stores, that it is,
Speaker 1: it is. It is hard wrenching, right, God bless all
Speaker 1: domestic is domestic terrorism. It's heart wrenching to know that
Speaker 1: people sending their kids to school are struggling scared because
Speaker 1: even in the last few hours, we learned that there
Speaker 1: was an active shooting happening at the University of North
Speaker 1: Carolina Chapel Hill where one person was shot and it
Speaker 1: still was active, having checked it to see if more
Speaker 1: people were shot. And that's just days after the Dollar
Speaker 1: General shooting, where that shooter, a man with swartzika's on
Speaker 1: his rifle, went to a college. First, he tried to
Speaker 1: get on the HBCU campus and when he couldn't get
Speaker 1: on the campus and he was sent away by a
Speaker 1: security guard, he continued on to the Dollar General because
Speaker 1: in his mind that day he was going to kill
Speaker 1: some blacks, some niggers. As I'm sure they said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they said that he hates he hates black people, right,
Speaker 3: and it's.
Speaker 4: Very danger and it's very it's sad, but there are
Speaker 4: so many people who will argue that racism is not
Speaker 4: in America. They're literally black people there's literally black people
Speaker 4: that when you try to tell them and they say, oh,
Speaker 4: you're race baiting. You know, you're just trying to create something.
Speaker 4: It's not really that big little problem. There's no racism here,
Speaker 4: you know, and all this shit, and it's just.
Speaker 3: Like where do y'all be at? Like for real? Like
Speaker 3: what planet are you from?
Speaker 4: Like I want to go there because I dare shouldn't
Speaker 4: want to be You think I want to talk about race?
Speaker 4: You think I want to be around people that hate
Speaker 4: me and want to kill me. And I got to
Speaker 4: understand of doing things intentionally to try to, you know,
Speaker 4: make sure that my life is harder and try to
Speaker 4: stop me from progressing and stopping my family. And you
Speaker 4: think I want to be around that shit, Like for
Speaker 4: what how does it benefit? I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4: I want to be able to say, Yo, shit is happening. Man,
Speaker 4: shout out to my guy Jalen Brown. Man, Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 4: You know he just played in the Big Three. James
Speaker 4: Brown is the highest paid NBA player right now, like
Speaker 4: being at the contract and he went paid in qes
Speaker 4: thing for free. You know what, that's the ship we
Speaker 4: gotta do. Like I want to see ice cube bro.
Speaker 4: I call him cute. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: that's what I like.
Speaker 1: People don't know who you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Ice ice Cube. You know the Big Three,
Speaker 4: the Ice qbe has the Big Three. And you know,
Speaker 4: he's been doing a lot of interviews lately talking about
Speaker 4: how certain entities are trying to block him from from
Speaker 4: getting money. And you know they've actually been back during
Speaker 4: him doing a lot of shit, you know, So that
Speaker 4: this was big to see James Brown step up and
Speaker 4: support his brother, you know, and and it's just you know, but.
Speaker 1: Keep that energy across the board. That's what we want
Speaker 1: to see. That's what we want to see. That's what
Speaker 1: we like to see.
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown, did he give the hbc US this week?
Speaker 1: Didn't give the hus If people people are doing things.
Speaker 3: It's not like it.
Speaker 4: And I don't like that. We wanted to the negative
Speaker 4: like that. I don't like it like we want to.
Speaker 1: We want to say, if Dinny and Young Miami go
Speaker 1: out and they you know, look funny in the face,
Speaker 1: well no, I'm talking about no, because let me tell
Speaker 1: you something that's not even good enough. Okay, what you
Speaker 1: just said is there? That's their fun that's their that's
Speaker 1: the good ship. Right. They go out and they act bad,
Speaker 1: the haters they'll either ignore and or slander that. What
Speaker 1: they love is if they go out somewhere and it
Speaker 1: looks like she got an attitude, they all over that.
Speaker 3: St st said, man, find you something to do, he said.
Speaker 1: He is. But let me just tell you this, my son.
Speaker 1: Even if they're not fine, it's.
Speaker 3: Not your badness about that. It's not.
Speaker 1: Impacting your life.
Speaker 4: And it's not like they come and to talk to
Speaker 4: you about it and they coming forward. They want to
Speaker 4: give you information about their personal life and you taking it. Now,
Speaker 4: that's something that if you if you if you make
Speaker 4: your life public and you come to me about your
Speaker 4: personal public life and you tell me and I listen,
Speaker 4: and then I have, you know, my critiques or I
Speaker 4: have my my judgment of it, then that's something that
Speaker 4: you're giving me. But y'all judging people life or gossip,
Speaker 4: and y'all want to be a people life so bad
Speaker 4: that y'all gossip. It's just stupid man, gossip about the
Speaker 4: positive niggas is out there showing a million dollar check. Look,
Speaker 4: I'm giving you gossip about that. That's some shit. That
Speaker 4: we could gossip about.
Speaker 3: I want to hear that. I want to walk around and.
Speaker 4: Be like, Yo, did you hear some such did this
Speaker 4: to help this person? You hear they gave money to
Speaker 4: do this. You hear they opened this like make that
Speaker 4: the gossip.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's really unfortunate. Uh, really unfortunate, Like
Speaker 1: I can't even tell.
Speaker 4: And another shout out to Cam and Mace. Man, they
Speaker 4: just got I heard they got a twenty million dollar
Speaker 4: deal for their new podcast. Yes it is what it is.
Speaker 4: See and these is my brothers, like seeing growing you
Speaker 4: know in that era, Mace being my close friend can
Speaker 4: be a friend of mine, and knowing what they went
Speaker 4: through to see them get back to this level and
Speaker 4: they was once best friends, and to just see how
Speaker 4: they reconciled that and they went and got the bag.
Speaker 3: I love it, man, I love it, man.
Speaker 4: That's what I don't that much. That's that's what they said.
Speaker 4: Twenty minute and they just I heard they Antonio Brown.
Speaker 4: They signed Antonio Brown.
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be.
Speaker 4: Entertaining, you know, a b gonna go in there and
Speaker 4: talk crazy, So that's gonna be entertainment. So shout out
Speaker 4: to them, man, I'm gonna promote positivity.
Speaker 3: People just doing the right thing. I love it. Keep going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well promotion. That brings me to my thought of
Speaker 1: the day. You know, Trump raised seven point one million
Speaker 1: dollars after that mugshot photo went viral. He did seven
Speaker 1: point one million dollars, and it almost makes me feel
Speaker 1: like unpopular opinion. Just leave him alone, Like, if you
Speaker 1: can't put him in jail, for sure, please leave him alone.
Speaker 1: And even if you put him in jail, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure like that might turn into a thing. It's just
Speaker 1: basically it's given. Leave Trump alone. Stop talking to him,
Speaker 1: just leave him alone, just stop.
Speaker 3: Just leave him because I hear you, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It means that they're not gonna do nothing most time.
Speaker 1: Is he going to jail? Because if not, and all
Speaker 1: of this is just.
Speaker 3: Because people charge now, so.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, well listen, I'm with the people that have
Speaker 1: said and I get the difference. I understand that when
Speaker 1: you are accused of murder, you're accused of of of
Speaker 1: of calling shots I guess on people and getting them killed,
Speaker 1: which we don't know that any of that is true.
Speaker 1: But these are the allegations that they have against young thugs.
Speaker 1: So I get that. It is very different from saying
Speaker 1: that he made a phone call, because it's because because
Speaker 1: I know some people will say, oh, no, Trump is
Speaker 1: killing people too, because what about January sixth, But that's
Speaker 1: not the Georgia situation. In Georgia, he is accused of
Speaker 1: election interference by getting on the phone and calling this
Speaker 1: guy the other attorney general or not even a state's
Speaker 1: attorney or state's department, whatever the position is, and trying
Speaker 1: to get that man to mess up the numbers in
Speaker 1: his favor right, And then other people got involved. There
Speaker 1: was intimidation of a woman where some guy would try
Speaker 1: to go to her house or whatever to try to
Speaker 1: intimidate her to say that she, you know, that she
Speaker 1: had committed some type of election fraud. I mean, people
Speaker 1: went through shit like that. The hearing that Congress did
Speaker 1: where they allowed the election workers who were harassed by
Speaker 1: Trump's fans and people fanatics, those people really really seriously
Speaker 1: went through hell, like their lives were changed forever. They
Speaker 1: don't want to live at home, They felt nervous. So
Speaker 1: all of that was terrible. It's terrible. He should be
Speaker 1: in jail for it, All of them should be in
Speaker 1: jail for it. However, I can understand what they will say. Well,
Speaker 1: in this other situation, young thug is accused of all
Speaker 1: these different things. But yeah, he is just an accused.
Speaker 1: And how come Trump could get a twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: bail and young thug can't and leave the jail within
Speaker 1: probably less than an hour.
Speaker 4: Well maybe it's the same reason that the black man
Speaker 4: that's part of the Rico case can't get a bail.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: But it's like, when you say that, is that real?
Speaker 1: Like is that real? This is why people think we
Speaker 1: just be talking racist.
Speaker 4: No, they said it, it's on it's sting. They said
Speaker 4: the man was denied bail. The black man been accused
Speaker 4: has been denied bail.
Speaker 1: No, I know that, But y'all trying to say it's
Speaker 1: because he's black.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he just happened to be black, and
Speaker 4: he just happened to begin deny bail when everybody else
Speaker 4: got a bail. So explain to me, make it make
Speaker 4: sense to me. I want to know what the difference is.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, this is why people don't take
Speaker 1: y'all seriously. Why what do they say is the reason
Speaker 1: why he can't get the bill he did.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the reason is.
Speaker 4: Okay, So if you're telling me the top person at
Speaker 4: the top, your the person who literally was trying to the.
Speaker 1: One who orchestrated the whole ship. Yeah, but what did
Speaker 1: they sending a black man to do?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: We should look it up. We should look it up
Speaker 1: because maybe because I'm I, some of this stuff got
Speaker 1: to make sense, because if what you're saying, it is
Speaker 1: just like I haven't paid attention. I see you at
Speaker 1: testing posting and talking about it, but I haven't paid attention,
Speaker 1: so I don't know the details. I just saw a
Speaker 1: post on both of y'all pages, and what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that I'm laughing but it's not funny. But what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that I need that not to be
Speaker 1: the reason. I need not to be that it's because
Speaker 1: he's black, y'ad is some stuff gotta make better sense
Speaker 1: to me. I'm just not going with y'all. I can't.
Speaker 1: I just can't.
Speaker 3: Are you looking it.
Speaker 1: Up to see what's charged? Because it's just gotta be.
Speaker 1: It can't be that just because the man is black.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be I need something more, because that's not
Speaker 1: y'all is that's not I'm just telling you listen.
Speaker 3: I wait.
Speaker 1: But but to my point, my thought of the day is,
Speaker 1: perhaps if you're not gonna he really ain't going to jail,
Speaker 1: please leave Trump alone because it is getting it's getting
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. He's raising more
Speaker 1: money than racist are coming out of everywhere. You got
Speaker 1: black people that's losing their mind too, starting to be
Speaker 1: tricked into thinking that maybe maybe, oh, it's a conspiracy
Speaker 1: against Trump. Trump is the conspiracy. He himself is a
Speaker 1: walking conspirator. I don't even know if that's a word,
Speaker 1: but he is. The actual conspiracy is him.
Speaker 2: Bruh.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the truth. We'll find it and maybe
Speaker 1: after our guest comes on we could talk about it again,
Speaker 1: because I'm just trying to understand.
Speaker 3: Harrison Floyd Black voices for Trump terrible.
Speaker 1: Okay, when we.
Speaker 4: On September sixth, he can't he said he can't afford anything.
Speaker 1: Oh he ain't got now seen that that's because he's black.
Speaker 1: Because they raised money for Giuliani the other day. They
Speaker 1: had a fundraiser for Giuliani to get his money together
Speaker 1: so he could go fight his legal battles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can fight with Trump.
Speaker 1: But some white women said that they that she I
Speaker 1: think she's she's even indicted or is a part of
Speaker 1: the case somehow, And they said that, oh, Trump know that.
Speaker 1: Trump them said they ain't given her nothing. Well, you
Speaker 1: know they don't fuck with black women.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gonna roll like a women. Man.
Speaker 1: You know those people are not going to do shit.
Speaker 1: The black woman too. She they going down with this
Speaker 1: man to the end because you know what they're banking
Speaker 1: on that they won't go to jail. And if they
Speaker 1: don't go to jail and they come out on the
Speaker 1: other side of this unscathed, y'all. Y'all don't even know
Speaker 1: what's about to happen. You don't know the level of corruption.
Speaker 1: It's already fucked up and it's already corrupt. But when
Speaker 1: they get away with this, if god hopefully not, but
Speaker 1: if they did, when they come back, they're gonna be unhare.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think Fanny is that dumb to
Speaker 4: foul discharge knowing she ain't got no evidence to do.
Speaker 1: Fanny, don't prosecute police officers the way that she should.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how intelligent in whatever she is,
Speaker 1: but they are police officers in Georgia in her jurisdiction
Speaker 1: that need to be tried for egregious behavior against people
Speaker 1: citizens that have not been tried. And so you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not I ain't too sold on Fanny. I do think, yes,
Speaker 1: we need to ensure that Trump's ass and his cronies
Speaker 1: experience the lashing of the system that they have participated in,
Speaker 1: and you know, and the and the I just use
Speaker 1: the word corruption. I mean, they are just they are criminals.
Speaker 1: They're evil criminals, and they should have absolutely face the music.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, Fanny, it's so many contradictions to
Speaker 1: everything that it's like hard to even have a conversation
Speaker 1: these days. I find myself getting ready to start talking
Speaker 1: and I just be like, you get it, because then
Speaker 1: you gotta because then people come back to you and
Speaker 1: ask for the young thug question and you like don't
Speaker 1: have an answer for that. You left the like you've
Speaker 1: left the podcast because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm done, because I can't. I can't.
Speaker 4: I can't even entertain the fact your Trump is an
Speaker 4: anomalated me. I like listening to people in the hood
Speaker 4: talk about Trump. But I get what it is. I
Speaker 4: get what they identify, right, We THEYD identify with the underdog,
Speaker 4: and they identify what you know, people.
Speaker 1: Think he's the underdog.
Speaker 3: He's not in mind. He's he's in his mind. He's
Speaker 3: fighting a system, right, because they say he's not a politician.
Speaker 3: So this is what they say. They said, Trump is
Speaker 3: not a politician. He don't do politics.
Speaker 4: So he's he's unveiling, you know, the dirty tricks of politics,
Speaker 4: and he's saying it to us. You know, in layman's terms,
Speaker 4: he's one of us, and he just got into politics
Speaker 4: and he don't really give a fuck about politics, right,
Speaker 4: And I agree with that. But he's a criminal, right,
Speaker 4: So what happens is he's not an underdog, right, He's
Speaker 4: a criminal that figured out I can get into the system, right,
Speaker 4: and I can maneuver and manipulate and make money off
Speaker 4: the system to figure out how I can benefit. I
Speaker 4: could control these people's minds. I know how to act
Speaker 4: on TV. I know how to make money. I know
Speaker 4: all of this shit.
Speaker 2: He was on TV.
Speaker 1: I mean I showed that, but that was like a game.
Speaker 1: So he's not an actor, No.
Speaker 3: But he was on You're Fired. He was on the ship,
Speaker 3: so he was on TV.
Speaker 4: He was a TV personality, so people know him from
Speaker 4: he's entertaining. He knows how to do all that shit.
Speaker 4: He just took the same strategy to the White House, right,
Speaker 4: So what happens is he knows that the average person
Speaker 4: do hip hop and all of the shit, people will
Speaker 4: attracted to Trump because he had money, right period, do
Speaker 4: a hip hop song, you like, y'all want money like Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Speaker 4: So he knew he had that. So he knows that, oh,
Speaker 4: most of the people just attracted to money. So what
Speaker 4: he does is very just like what the PPP people say,
Speaker 4: Oh he gave people PPP.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna give y'all how much money you need.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw it to you. I know you.
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna spend it, and I also know
Speaker 4: that you're gonna do a legal shit to get it right.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna throw the money away and you're gonna
Speaker 4: go to jail.
Speaker 1: So I got a strategy illegal stuff, Like what are
Speaker 1: you talking about?
Speaker 4: I'm explaining to you is them niggas. You know what
Speaker 4: I mean, niggas going to jail? For PPP because they
Speaker 4: they filed them paperwork and the ship was wrong and
Speaker 4: they stole. You know what I mean, Black niggas is
Speaker 4: fucked up. You know how much many niggas got you
Speaker 4: know how many you know how many black people got
Speaker 4: them PvP loans, got a couple of fifty sixty thousand
Speaker 4: and never had five dollars. And now they've turned to
Speaker 4: a life of crime because they can't get that life back.
Speaker 4: So ultimately he destroyed the mind in the community and said,
Speaker 4: oh and this is strategy, like give him that. They
Speaker 4: gonna go back to jail. We're gonna we're gonna put
Speaker 4: these Supreme Court justice in order. Crime is gonna uptick.
Speaker 4: We're gonna lock everybody back up again, and we're gonna
Speaker 4: keep going. We're not gonna give them positions. We're not
Speaker 4: gonna give him no power. We're not hiring no black
Speaker 4: people to be able to change no laws. We're not
Speaker 4: putting them in no cabinet, We're not putting no black
Speaker 4: personal Hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you want us to partner Lil Wayne, You
Speaker 3: want us to park it up? Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 4: The hip hop community gonna say, we fuck with Trump,
Speaker 4: We fuck with Trump. Is is shit that don't matter
Speaker 4: to him. He like that ship that you argue about,
Speaker 4: don't matter give them that. You just don't give them power.
Speaker 4: As long as you don't give them power and position,
Speaker 4: give them a couple of dollars, that's all they gonna
Speaker 4: cheer for you every time that shit runs out that
Speaker 4: little bit of money. They can't create generational well because
Speaker 4: we ain't give him nothing to create generational wealth. Were
Speaker 4: not putting nobody black in no position and do nothing.
Speaker 4: Of course, give him a couple of dollars. You know,
Speaker 4: they call us liquid money anyway. They know the money
Speaker 4: in our community ain't gonna go through our community with
Speaker 4: so many times, So why give a nigga money with
Speaker 4: no plane, no strategy or anything. He's gonna spend the
Speaker 4: money on sneakers, is going back into the economy. Then
Speaker 4: he gonna start committing crimes because they need to keep
Speaker 4: up with their lifestyle.
Speaker 1: And a majority of black people mice on. What you
Speaker 1: mean it's not the guest is on, so we should.
Speaker 3: You mean it's not the majority the hood.
Speaker 4: This is why crime is at a PPP. Commit turned
Speaker 4: up the crime rate in our communities one hundred percent, right,
Speaker 4: They gave niggas in these communities.
Speaker 3: That never happened niggas well, this is what we call
Speaker 3: each other. They they gave.
Speaker 4: They gave people in the community money that never had
Speaker 4: it dime before. They spent fifty and sixty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: on chains and sneakers.
Speaker 1: Okay, our guest is on, So we're gonna circle back
Speaker 1: to this conversation because I hear you, but I just
Speaker 1: think you need to we need to revisit.
Speaker 3: I'm outside, so I'm just telling you, really, I.
Speaker 1: Know, but that's not the majority of black people that
Speaker 1: got PPP loans in the hood.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the majority of black people. I
Speaker 3: can't speak.
Speaker 2: I'm talking.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's get to our guest who was
Speaker 1: joining us today.
Speaker 4: That's well, as we always do. We got one of
Speaker 4: our friends on here. It's like my little brother man.

Speaker 4: teenager man with a big mam mark that was bigger
Speaker 4: than him.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, rapping outside.
Speaker 4: I used to call home when I was locked up,
Speaker 4: and he used to wrap on the phone for me
Speaker 4: for like thirty forty minutes, and at that point.
Speaker 3: I knew he was just one.
Speaker 4: Of those those artists that was really talented and had
Speaker 4: the ears and the hearts of the street and understood
Speaker 4: the culture and understood exactly how to explain life. There's
Speaker 4: not too many lyricists that I respect, man, but Bado
Speaker 4: has always been one of those. Man. So we're gonna
Speaker 4: bring to the stage my brother, my little brother. The
Speaker 4: man was sub king, what up?
Speaker 2: Huh? I ain't nothing, man, you know, I.
Speaker 3: See you out here, working man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of shit.
Speaker 3: You know, we can curse, right, curse man, you can
Speaker 3: curse his Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a lot of shit going on, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. A lot of a lot of things
Speaker 5: about the drop soon, you know. So just focused, that's all.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, tell tell him where you're from, Harlem,
Speaker 4: tell him how you started.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, up there from uptown Linux save Crime
Speaker 5: Square for y'all that don't know.
Speaker 2: On forty second between Linox and Seventh Man.
Speaker 5: You know, I grew up just watching, you know, I
Speaker 5: was fortunate enough to live in the area of of stars, man,
Speaker 5: like you know, from Camron and Mace, the Big l you.
Speaker 2: Know, resc of Keeves, hud six, MaTx B, you know,
Speaker 2: J Mills.
Speaker 5: Head even to the Battle Stars, some loaded lucks head Ice,
Speaker 5: you know, Forty cow Man, Charlie Clips, you know, the
Speaker 5: list goes on, man, and I know I'm missing people. Man,
Speaker 5: I hate this part, you know, Loan, Like you know,
Speaker 5: I was just fortunate to grow up watching them, watching
Speaker 5: every you know, watching all them slims and just you know,
Speaker 5: try to follow the steps.
Speaker 1: How did you get like, so we're because I know
Speaker 1: you have a very strong relationship with Cameron, but how
Speaker 1: did you sort of get in the mix? What was
Speaker 1: your process to getting into artist stream?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: J Mills is my best friend, so I kind of
Speaker 5: like rolled with him, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 5: he was signed to Want to Blow, which they started
Speaker 5: getting Lady Deals and I was just you.
Speaker 2: Know, just running with him and and then just.
Speaker 5: From from there on it just when I got to
Speaker 5: meet you know, Caled mice Maids, you know, I got
Speaker 5: to be a you know, other stars that was that
Speaker 5: was also you know, a roller coaster. So when things
Speaker 5: was like getting quiet fast for me, just so happened
Speaker 5: Cam had stepped back on the scene.
Speaker 2: So when Cam stepped back on the scene.
Speaker 5: I had reached out to some people close to him,
Speaker 5: gave him my demo.
Speaker 2: You know, he fucked with it.
Speaker 5: He grabbed me up like the next like in the
Speaker 5: next two days, and I never left.
Speaker 1: It's just what stories we don't really we don't always hear,
Speaker 1: or maybe we don't appreciate the amount of support because
Speaker 1: the way in which the world tries to portray just
Speaker 1: black folks in general and or and especially in entertainment,
Speaker 1: it's like nobody helps one another. But that's like really
Speaker 1: not true. I've heard so many positive stories from artists,
Speaker 1: from my son from now here on one from you
Speaker 1: about Cameron, where people actually did lend the help in
Speaker 1: hand and try to bring another person up in the industry.
Speaker 2: I mean, because you know, I leave my ego at
Speaker 2: the door.
Speaker 5: That's for you know, very humble, you know how uh
Speaker 5: you know, I come in, I come in and learn,
Speaker 5: I observe, you know, I don't really I don't talk
Speaker 5: over no one. I listen, you know, And with Cam
Speaker 5: I'm you know, I'm lifting it because he did.
Speaker 2: It, you know what I'm saying. So it's no it's
Speaker 2: no reason for me to like to speak over with
Speaker 2: him from just learning.
Speaker 5: So but that's why that's how I am with most
Speaker 5: artists that done did it, you know, and I try
Speaker 5: to scow the ones is coming up under me same way.
Speaker 3: That's one thing I will say.
Speaker 4: Manvada has always been like a student of the game,
Speaker 4: very you know, and always paid attention. Whenever I talked
Speaker 4: I would home, he'd be on the phone, he'd be
Speaker 4: asking questions. He was always attentive. And then when I
Speaker 4: came home, he still had that energy, you know. So
Speaker 4: why should you know, take off and come out with
Speaker 4: them big singles and them big hits. I wasn't surprised,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, because the talent was there
Speaker 4: any and he paid attention, you know. So talk about
Speaker 4: talk about that, talk about talk about like the seriousness
Speaker 4: is because being in the industry, you know how it
Speaker 4: is to be hot and then kind of just phizzle
Speaker 4: and then you gotta find your way.
Speaker 3: Back, you know, and just now, what what what is
Speaker 3: that process?
Speaker 4: Being like at the top and you the hottest nigga
Speaker 4: and then it's just like, oh shit, I gotta find
Speaker 4: my way back because you know, challenged it, but you
Speaker 4: just gotta find your way back. To talk about that
Speaker 4: process from now, how does the mentality that.
Speaker 5: Takes man Listen, you gotta have a strong one, that's
Speaker 5: for one, you know, because you know when I first
Speaker 5: when I got with Cam and we started coming out.
Speaker 5: You know, but at first when I got with Cam,
Speaker 5: it wasn't really trying to like lititize shit like that,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Like, we had to like work,
Speaker 5: you know, it didn't come easy work, So we had
Speaker 5: to go to the streets. So we started putting out
Speaker 5: a trilogy of mix of mixtapes, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: boss and ball bosses.
Speaker 2: So that's what kind of grab.
Speaker 5: Once the streets started talking, then the radio, then the
Speaker 5: DJs w and the radio started wanting the tracks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: That's when Flex started asking them for the tracks, so
Speaker 5: we give them the Flex And then that's when he
Speaker 5: started making movies. So you know, everything is good. When
Speaker 5: you up, you know, everybody want to fuck with you.
Speaker 5: You know, I found myself hanging around other celebs, you know,
Speaker 5: on a daily basis, is anything cool? You know, didn't
Speaker 5: want things. You know, once that road coast to go down,
Speaker 5: it's like, you know, people disappear, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But you know, you just stay focused.
Speaker 5: But you know, the main thing is stick to your
Speaker 5: script and I and I didn't do that, you know.
Speaker 5: I started trying to follow what was going on. You
Speaker 5: know how people what was what was now?
Speaker 3: So this was now.
Speaker 5: But that's just because I'm a student of the game.
Speaker 5: I still love the game. So it's like playing ball.
Speaker 5: You see new moves, you want to start doing new moves.
Speaker 5: You know, I love a gang, so I'm trying to
Speaker 5: I'm fucking with all types of flows, you know. But
Speaker 5: it wasn't hitting. It wasn't hitting, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So so you went to your original.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I went back to my original. That's when the
Speaker 5: Hated came out. I did with eaves, you know, and
Speaker 5: that's that's that's me, you know. So it was just
Speaker 5: a free style, you know. Next thing, you know, Daint
Speaker 5: got thirty million views, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 5: it was like, you know, I performed that when I
Speaker 5: when I when people bring me out or I go
Speaker 5: on stage now you know, and they know work for world.
Speaker 5: So that just shows you that the real always gonna win,
Speaker 5: even like for example, the flex you know flex freestyles.
Speaker 2: A lot of everybody freestyle is nice.
Speaker 5: But when Mike went up there and spit that real
Speaker 5: that shit got what I mean views like, that's one
Speaker 5: of the number one you feel me. So that just
Speaker 5: shows you that niggas always respect the real you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I just went back, you know, I just stuck
Speaker 2: to the script.
Speaker 4: So, so what you what are you working on now?
Speaker 4: I heard a couple of things, but I want you
Speaker 4: to like, what are you working on now?
Speaker 2: Ship?
Speaker 5: I'm working on Actually, I'm working on my tape with
Speaker 5: thirty eight Specs producing it.
Speaker 3: You know, I love it.
Speaker 5: That's crazy hear that? Oh man, that's crazy. I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna lie. This might be one of my best albums man,
Speaker 5: for real, because the concepts is very you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm talking about a lot of shit. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. I'm not just rapping like i'll
Speaker 5: normally do about the streets. Of course, the street's gonna
Speaker 5: be in it, but you know, it's a lot of
Speaker 5: like you know, the niggas meant to health, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, a lot of mental health issues out here, man.
Speaker 5: You know, I think everybody every man done went through that.
Speaker 5: You know, I surely went through it. You know because
Speaker 5: being in this game, you know what I'm saying, being
Speaker 5: in this game and just the thing we call life,
Speaker 5: every man go through it.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's it's just real a lot of storytelling.
Speaker 2: And you know. Then I got a an.
Speaker 5: Album with East that I'm working on as well, the
Speaker 5: album with Banks. You know, we we we had knocked
Speaker 5: out a few joints, but we're gonna get back to
Speaker 5: it to you know, wrap that up. And then I'm
Speaker 5: also on what the Mary J Block singles M Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh that has not been released.
Speaker 5: Nah, only Flex got it, so you know you're here
Speaker 5: flex play it. But that's you know, you do only want.
Speaker 5: It's called Believe in Love, So it's dope. We shot
Speaker 5: the video on Capri, so wonderful.
Speaker 1: So I had so many questions came to mind. One
Speaker 1: thing when you talked about the authenticity, you know, because
Speaker 1: oftentimes we have an audience of people who are listening
Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure it out, right, that's everywhere
Speaker 1: we all have these people, you know that listen to us.
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out what to do to get
Speaker 1: their music career, and I think that all things are
Speaker 1: sort of us. It's pretty much. It all crosses over,
Speaker 1: like just because you're talking about music, but there might
Speaker 1: be somebody that's working on you know, development of business
Speaker 1: and authenticity is so important. You start off with a
Speaker 1: good product, then you change the product because you want
Speaker 1: to fit whatever the new culture is. Then it goes
Speaker 1: flat because people like that old hair gel the one
Speaker 1: you're created. But evolution is important. You can't stagnant. So
Speaker 1: how do you fare in that conversation of like, yes,
Speaker 1: evolved without losing yourself in the process.
Speaker 5: Your surroundings. You know, sometimes you gotta changed surround us,
Speaker 5: you know. So I had to evolve from my day one.
Speaker 5: Is not all my day one, but something that was
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say was stuff, but just wasn't believing
Speaker 5: the vision like I was, you know, and you know,
Speaker 5: shout out to my you know, my brother Jed, you know,
Speaker 5: he believed it day one. So when things so when
Speaker 5: things got stagnant, he was dead to you know, to
Speaker 5: help me pick it up. Like, nah, we're gonna keep
Speaker 5: going even you know, we're gonna keep going, We're gonna
Speaker 5: keep pushing. So we just kept pushing the long run,
Speaker 5: and you know, things start happening. So you know, I
Speaker 5: just tell people like, don't follow leave. You know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Believe in your dream. If you got a vision,
Speaker 5: you know, and you gotta go for your vision, man,
Speaker 5: you know, because you know, you know one of your
Speaker 5: friends to easy tell you, man, fuck that ship, and
Speaker 5: you're gonna say fuck that ship.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Most most niggas, most niggas from the streets or it
Speaker 5: takes one of their niggas.
Speaker 2: To not be on it and then they lacking it.
Speaker 5: You know, Like for once I seen I seen a
Speaker 5: post for one of my guys from the hood that
Speaker 5: felt like committed suicide man because he's like, yo, nobody
Speaker 5: support his dreams. Like you know he's not all that lyrically,
Speaker 5: but still that's your dream. Go with your dream, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. But you know how guys in
Speaker 5: the hood is and he ain't nice.
Speaker 2: Niggas is like.
Speaker 5: It's just not supporting it. But you don't have to
Speaker 5: be nice to make it clear.
Speaker 4: Day always talent, don't work hard, don't work hard shit
Speaker 4: most definitely, most definitely, you know, so.
Speaker 5: I really want to tell him like, nah, man, fuck
Speaker 5: niggas man. Just keep going, keep going. Trust me from regards,
Speaker 5: see you working, keeping rewarding.
Speaker 1: Before you ask your question, I just want to get
Speaker 1: my second question out. You talked about mental health. I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, like, what are some of the
Speaker 1: social issues happening in our society, especially looking in New
Speaker 1: York City, you know, and just in the areas that
Speaker 1: you travel to that really concern you. Like that's really
Speaker 1: coming through in your music. I know you said mental health,
Speaker 1: but are there other issues that you would say you're addressing.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm gonna start addressing politics. Move you know,
Speaker 5: that's a new thing for me, you know, shout out
Speaker 5: to jay Z. I'll listen to uh Tom have me
Speaker 5: listening to some some j albums for four four and
Speaker 5: I see how he'd be really, you know, he's really
Speaker 5: pressed on the politics if you understand what he's talking about.
Speaker 5: You know sometimes but that's that was always hold. But
Speaker 5: talk about things people don't know of. You got to
Speaker 5: do your research, bo though. You know, that's my goal
Speaker 5: to start really talking about what's going on in the world,
Speaker 5: you know, start current events, you know, you know.
Speaker 4: You know it's I love the evolution, and that's what
Speaker 4: it is for me. It's evolutionist. It's still like like
Speaker 4: she said, it's being you, but just evolving like still
Speaker 4: I'm still me, and it still has the street you
Speaker 4: know energy because that's where we come from and we
Speaker 4: come from. So but we gotta be able to if we,
Speaker 4: if we when you get older, you gotta start teaching
Speaker 4: a little bit, right, you gotta. If a nigga talking
Speaker 4: to you, if you're O g supposed to og and
Speaker 4: a young nigga talking to you and he can't get
Speaker 4: no jewels from you, the how benefit you can't You're
Speaker 4: not you're not supposed to fit in with the young,
Speaker 4: supposed to stand out they see. So your music has
Speaker 4: to evolve. It gotta still be current and it gotta
Speaker 4: still be relevant.
Speaker 3: But it got evolved to where it shows growth, you know,
Speaker 3: growing as a man.
Speaker 4: So I think that's that's what that's the next stage
Speaker 4: for you, man, and I love it.
Speaker 5: You know, just you know, explain it to them and
Speaker 5: uh in that's all they really just need to explain
Speaker 5: that they you know, they all.
Speaker 4: We know exactly, you know how to talk to ship,
Speaker 4: they talk exactly. And that brings down to it. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying tell all the time is like
Speaker 4: when I do the fact that I do civil rights work, right,
Speaker 4: I come to the hood and tell niggo, this is
Speaker 4: what we need to be doing in the hood. And
Speaker 4: that's why it makes it relevantcause niggas, Oh, Mike's doing this.
Speaker 4: So when I have a conversation with him, it's different
Speaker 4: than somebody else, you know, coming from just coming from
Speaker 4: college and all that with his suit, telling them why
Speaker 4: we need to be in politics and why we need
Speaker 4: to fight for blacks and all that, because they can
Speaker 4: relate to me because they know I'm comfort where they
Speaker 4: come from. So that's why that's why we're the most
Speaker 4: credible messages we got.

Speaker 5: mix too as well.

Speaker 4: You's come in the projects. I'm listening, just understanding. I
Speaker 4: know how special is man. I got me ands supposed

Speaker 3: I'm ready.
Speaker 2: You know, we all do.
Speaker 3: I'm back outside. Man.
Speaker 1: My thoughts that he wasn't feeling inspired lately, But it looks.
Speaker 3: I went to when I went to the was you
Speaker 3: at Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 5: No it wasn't. I was in Caprie. I know it
Speaker 5: was fun. I seen I watched it on YouTube.
Speaker 3: That energy is like, okay, now I'm rapping again. I
Speaker 3: want to rap again.
Speaker 4: I felt that energy when you're surrounded by that type
Speaker 4: of you know, that energy and seeing those type of
Speaker 4: artists and seeing everybody and just looking out their mind.
Speaker 3: Now now I feel like I got some.
Speaker 2: Real hip hop, real hip hop. You know that.
Speaker 5: That That's that's what keeps me going because you know,
Speaker 5: we we real hip hop has man so you know,
Speaker 5: all that other ship is cool too. Don't get twisted,
Speaker 5: but you know, we actually we think before we write.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. We actually we keep rapping.
Speaker 1: The fiftieth anniversary, that was gonna be my question that
Speaker 1: might already kind of messed it up. But with the
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of hip hop gone, you know, it has
Speaker 1: passed fifty years. Now we're working on the next fifty years.
Speaker 1: Where do you want to see the industry go? You know,
Speaker 1: what do you want to see happen? You talked about
Speaker 1: more connection between the issues, the politics, and the people
Speaker 1: because it's some problems out here. Like I try to
Speaker 1: listen to the music, things is kind of wayward. The
Speaker 1: women are very, very very what y'all say they are.
Speaker 1: It's a term you use and over sexualize the young
Speaker 1: guys between the drugs and the pills and the this
Speaker 1: and the that, and not saying that it's not. Some
Speaker 1: of it is good music. We like it, we bump
Speaker 1: to it. But we are in a space where I
Speaker 1: feel like we're losing the messaging that used to be there.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that we're gonna have to shut
Speaker 5: down Instagram. Well, you know, because it's like everybody's just
Speaker 5: following what's going on in Instagram and they found the ignorance,
Speaker 5: you know, the all they see is the jury, the cause,
Speaker 5: the money, the lifestyle. So so now when you get
Speaker 5: when you get with a with a with a woman
Speaker 5: with a female, that's all she wants, you know. She
Speaker 5: just want to sit in the seat with the double
Speaker 5: law and the head rest, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So she could be like this will take the picture,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like, that's what's going on now.
Speaker 5: It's not real though, it's not real. None of it
Speaker 5: is real. I mean, of course it's Celes whatever, but
Speaker 5: half of that's not real. It's just what looks good
Speaker 5: for Instagram. So we need to take a break from
Speaker 5: Instagram and get back to reality, you know. And that's
Speaker 5: that's that's the that's the first thing. That's the first thing.
Speaker 5: And because like I said, you know, like I watched
Speaker 5: mice paid on a politics you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: a lot of people do, but not everybody, meaning the youth.
Speaker 5: The youth is not watching that at all. You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. The youp is watching drills. They're going
Speaker 5: on YouTube and you hear these stories of you know,
Speaker 5: like killing killing someone is a trend.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: You kill someone, you rap about it, you sell records
Speaker 5: because it's only because it's real. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: it's real. Person, go on YouTube and watch your whole story.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest. I didn't know a lot about
Speaker 5: the Chicago Drills team. I went on YouTube, I watched it,
Speaker 5: and I was I was like, damn, they really out
Speaker 5: there playing tag with bullets with real bullets.
Speaker 2: So it made it made me listen to the State
Speaker 2: music more.
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, like now everybody's
Speaker 5: doing from Philly to New York, it's that the trend
Speaker 5: is becoming larger than life.
Speaker 1: And you know, dying. That's the problem. Our communities are
Speaker 1: are are suffering greatly because there is incentive, as my
Speaker 1: son says all the time, to push violence and drugs,
Speaker 1: like the drugs that these kids are using. I know,
Speaker 1: we always use drugs like people use drugs, but they
Speaker 1: are under the heavy influence. Like the way they smoke.
Speaker 1: We I don't know what kind of weed they smoke
Speaker 1: because when we was young, two or three poles and
Speaker 1: and we had you tripping, you was like good for
Speaker 1: the rest of the day. They smoking all day long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand. That's why I quit.
Speaker 5: I haven't smoked, Like I might smoke a little in
Speaker 5: the studio, but outside in the world, I don't smoke
Speaker 5: because I get tired.
Speaker 2: I'm bugging out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I'm bugging out because it's so strong now, so.
Speaker 2: Off the rip, like you know what I'm saying. Like
Speaker 2: you hear that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So you know, I fell back from it. But it's
Speaker 5: legal now, so it's no telling.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Then they might have fentanol in it. I saw I'm
Speaker 1: telling my song earlier today that I saw a post
Speaker 1: from Stefante Clark, which is the brother of a young
Speaker 1: man by the name of Stefan Clark who was killed
Speaker 1: by police in the backyard of his grandparents' house in California.
Speaker 2: They heard that, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's doing some his brother's young brother's doing
Speaker 1: some great work. And he had a post up today
Speaker 1: that said that ninety seven percent of the drugs on
Speaker 1: the street are fake they have fentanyl in it, ninety
Speaker 1: seven percent. Now, I don't know where he got that from,
Speaker 1: but it sounds about right because the way in which
Speaker 1: like the addiction to whatever they're using is completely different
Speaker 1: today than it was in the past.
Speaker 5: You know what said, it's exposing I loved ones, you know,
Speaker 5: like who may have a cousin or a close friend.
Speaker 5: Even though that was even shooting, you know that, you
Speaker 5: know they died. Were like, damn, what happened? Come to
Speaker 5: find out form fedos, like, oh man.
Speaker 2: He was shooting? How we we?
Speaker 5: I ain't know that, you know, like I ain't know
Speaker 5: uh Omar Fluire was shooting.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I didn't know.
Speaker 5: My friend, you know from from from my hud was
Speaker 5: shooting like a lot, my fird. You know, it's a
Speaker 5: lot of people that was being exposed, you know, and
Speaker 5: that wasn't I just asked.

Speaker 1: was in the Fujis or not the Foojies.
Speaker 2: Tho oh she ad three six mathfield.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly damn.
Speaker 2: And and and.
Speaker 5: That all leads to us saying, like, damn, we don't
Speaker 5: know what they was going through. Mental issues, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, a.
Speaker 4: Lot of these a lot of people is over Medican
Speaker 4: because they deal on mental health and they don't want
Speaker 4: to do reality.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: These these young kids, you know, are dealing with levels
Speaker 4: of trauma and bullshit.
Speaker 3: When you watch that Internet all day and you just.

Speaker 4: I want to hear rap. I wanted people to rap again, man,
Speaker 4: So shout out to Bato, you know, and what what
Speaker 4: that kind of brings me to my thought of the day,
Speaker 4: my thought of the day.
Speaker 1: You they need to be not trying instead of here
Speaker 1: say that the people took the p P loans and
Speaker 1: went and bought sneakers, and.
Speaker 3: You want to you want to bring that back because I'm.
Speaker 1: Telling you that that's a small fraction.
Speaker 3: I believe and I do.
Speaker 1: That's not true.
Speaker 4: What I'm trying to tell you is this there I'm
Speaker 4: talking about in our communities, in the inner city communities
Speaker 4: and the projects, in the poor communities, they are not
Speaker 4: I can't think of one or two people that took
Speaker 4: the p p P loans right that didn't have nothing,
Speaker 4: that was doing illegally getting PPP loans, because ninety percent
Speaker 4: of them this was illegally getting PPP loans that went
Speaker 4: open the business.
Speaker 3: There's no new businesses inside the hood. The niggas that
Speaker 3: was driving around and rented cars, they got.
Speaker 1: Out in the hood. They in their house, they got
Speaker 1: T shirt businesses, they have, they have bit glossed, they
Speaker 1: have they have online.
Speaker 3: Listen, we're having this conversation every day in the hood.
Speaker 4: The dudes who was outside with thirty thousand dollars chains,
Speaker 4: they had new sniggers on every day they went and
Speaker 4: brought cars. The cars done got repulled, the cars is gone.
Speaker 3: They don't got nothing.
Speaker 4: So what happened is in order to try to keep
Speaker 4: up with that lifestyle, they invested in crime. They trying
Speaker 4: to rob niggas, They trying to stick you up. This
Speaker 4: is a fact.
Speaker 3: This ain't some shit. I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4: I think I'm telling you that the come ups wasn't
Speaker 4: they wasn't me. If you give me one hundred and
Speaker 4: two hundred thousand dollars, I'm sitting here, I'm putting down
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: How is this you gonna turn it to a million?
Speaker 4: I'm not spending it on nothing right, And this is
Speaker 4: what I was trying to explain to you Trump. And
Speaker 4: in the comp they understand that they call black people
Speaker 4: liquid money. They our money.
Speaker 3: Does not circulate in our community.
Speaker 4: This is a fact. These are facts. So if I'm
Speaker 4: a politician, I mean, we are doing better. You know,
Speaker 4: we're learning, we're growing, you know a little bit at
Speaker 4: a time. But I'm talking about when you give money
Speaker 4: to people who just like if you look at most
Speaker 4: of the the athletes, most of these athletes be rich,
Speaker 4: they get their million, couple of million dollars, they be
Speaker 4: poor within three or four years of leaving the league.
Speaker 3: They gotta get regular job. They have not invested the
Speaker 3: money and they know that.
Speaker 4: So if you give and these people got financial advisors,
Speaker 4: they got all this shit. So if you give Jojo
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars in the hood and he going to
Speaker 4: spend it, it's gone. And once he done got a
Speaker 4: lifestyle that he's trying to live up to. Only thing
Speaker 4: he got after that is crime. He ain't going back
Speaker 4: to fifteen hours an hour.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Time to have conversations with
Speaker 3: these kids, and.
Speaker 4: You tell them to get a job, They're like, yo,
Speaker 4: ain't working for fifteen dollars an hour, man twenty nine.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: You crazy?
Speaker 4: Because they touched some of that PPP money. You know this,
Speaker 4: these kids, that's what That's what fucked them up. So
Speaker 4: what I'm trying to say is trumping them understood that
Speaker 4: he understood you could give them the money. They gonna
Speaker 4: spinishit back. It's gonna flourish the economy. Some of them
Speaker 4: gonna do some illegal shit. Some of them ain't supposed
Speaker 4: to get it. We can lock them up. We got
Speaker 4: throwing these judges in. We're gonna make stricter the laws.
Speaker 3: He told them. That's why he told me.
Speaker 4: They talked about they want to fucking kill drug dealers.
Speaker 4: They want to fucking them, give them the death penalty right.
Speaker 4: They want to do all because they understand. We understand
Speaker 4: we put you in a position to where you're gonna
Speaker 4: try your hand in drugs. You're gonna try your hand
Speaker 4: in crime. You're gonna have these guns, You're gonna do
Speaker 4: all this shit. We know that, So we set up
Speaker 4: the mechanism to lock your as up after we gave
Speaker 4: you these PPP lows and know that you ain't gonna
Speaker 4: have no way to get no money again.
Speaker 3: You're gonna go to crime. We're gonna lock you up.
Speaker 4: And then what I was trying to explain, So I said,
Speaker 4: nick y'all, y'all want to celebrate that, but the reality
Speaker 4: is he understands that as long as I don't put.
Speaker 3: Black people in power.
Speaker 4: I said, how many black people did Trump put in
Speaker 4: power in his four years that he gave power to
Speaker 4: to be able to change laws, to be able to
Speaker 4: change structure, to get resources. Where's the black people that
Speaker 4: he put in And I'm not a Joe bidenfair, I
Speaker 4: don't give a fuck about none of these present.
Speaker 1: Actually they're gonna say, they're gonna say, well, what did
Speaker 1: well see, I'm not gonna let people do that because
Speaker 1: they because.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, we literally know black people that
Speaker 4: by didn't happen.
Speaker 1: They did nothing but that. But but but these courts
Speaker 1: across the nation where they had to have to put
Speaker 1: maybe and there's been a lot of black women, but
Speaker 1: let's not even talk about black women. Just trying not
Speaker 1: to allow the conservatives to take over the courts all
Speaker 1: across the board. Oh I bet you, I bet you.
Speaker 1: If you look at that record, you will see the
Speaker 1: difference in the conservative judges versus more liberal judges, if
Speaker 1: you will, Like people is talking a bunch of bullshit,
Speaker 1: and it's so sad. It's just like, well, whatever that
Speaker 1: was yesterday or whatever day telling us about the cotton
Speaker 1: picking for three hundred dollars, that Joe Biden has jobs
Speaker 1: now where only black people can pick cotton something dumb like, no,
Speaker 1: it's not true, it's not I said.
Speaker 4: I said, they said three hundred dollars an hour. I said,
Speaker 4: where is the job? I will pick cotton for three
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. Where's it at I'm gonna give me a job.
Speaker 4: I'm shigning up three hundred dollars an hour. Shit, I'm
Speaker 4: be on it for good three months, every day, seven
Speaker 4: days a week.
Speaker 1: I have to this show.
Speaker 4: Was a day, three hundred dollars an hour for three
Speaker 4: months straight.
Speaker 3: I'm putting that that's a nice little nest egg. That's right.
Speaker 1: You don't know when to stop working anywhere.
Speaker 3: All that because we need to get money. But I
Speaker 3: don't get it. Is this.
Speaker 4: It's people so much right when I showed Diddy giving
Speaker 4: a million dollars to the HBCUs and there were so
Speaker 4: many people that, oh, that ain't ships a.
Speaker 1: Tax right off, but it's one million more than they had.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying this at the HBCU that don't get
Speaker 1: no resources.
Speaker 3: Listen, you know what.
Speaker 4: I don't get is why everybody's gonna just write the
Speaker 4: tax off right because it's one million dollars, it's nothing,
Speaker 4: that's a tax right off. Why don't you go give
Speaker 4: your fifty dollars is a tax right off? Why don't
Speaker 4: the nigga that got two hundred million go give his
Speaker 4: his million that? Why why don't we all just get
Speaker 4: the tax right off? Because we need to be supporting
Speaker 4: each other. So why if you could say, allin not
Speaker 4: it is a tax writ or won't you do that
Speaker 4: and get the tax right off? Why everybody don't just
Speaker 4: get the tax right off? Because everybody don't give a fuck.
Speaker 4: That's what I wanted to understand, And I don't understand
Speaker 4: why people don't get that if I care enough to
Speaker 4: invest my money in something that I can get a
Speaker 4: tax right off to too, I actually can't.
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna get a tax right off. Why do
Speaker 3: I do it? Why do y'all want to criticize?
Speaker 4: Why do y'all want to criticize somebody's doing something when
Speaker 4: you're doing nothing? Oh, get you the tax right off?
Speaker 4: I want everybody to get the tax right off to
Speaker 4: the HBC.
Speaker 1: True, that's true. Okay, that is true. Shout out to
Speaker 1: my girl, Mimi, Mimi Kay. This is her lip gloss
Speaker 1: that I wear and it's clear, but because of my
Speaker 1: pink other stuff and made it look a little pink.
Speaker 1: But it's actually a clear lip boss that's really good.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have the white line all the time,
Speaker 1: so you know that's it's super cool. Anyway, here's the thing, right,
Speaker 1: here's a bunch of places that he could get the
Speaker 1: tax right off to. He could give it to the
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club, he could give it to all
Speaker 1: types of stuff. But he's choosing to get his tax
Speaker 1: right off, which, like you said, is a mutual benefit
Speaker 1: to an HBCU where black students don't have resources. So
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and by and by
Speaker 1: the way, by the way, by the way, these people
Speaker 1: went to HBCU, some of them, that's probably saying, why
Speaker 1: it's just a tax right off and they don't give
Speaker 1: their contributions to keep their schools going. So people are
Speaker 1: just full of shit. That's what it's called.
Speaker 4: That's what That's what the bottom line is. Everybody has
Speaker 4: excuse for somebody else's good deed, right. Oh the only
Speaker 4: do you know what the dude said to me, I said,
Speaker 4: I was talking mo.
Speaker 3: I said, Yo, I don't really care about Biden or Trump.
Speaker 4: I don't do a fuck about that, but I know
Speaker 4: that pretty much Biden has one of the has hired
Speaker 4: probably the most black people in administration that I've seen. Now,
Speaker 4: maybe there's been one that has done more, but I
Speaker 4: have never seen more black people in no administration ever
Speaker 4: in the history of the presidency. I've never seen it.
Speaker 4: And then you know what the dude said. He said,
Speaker 4: he's just doing that because he wants us to get
Speaker 4: on his side.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, that's what you suppose. You always say your
Speaker 1: thing every election where they say they panda and you
Speaker 1: say panda to me, that's like, that's like, that's like
Speaker 1: a friend of mine seeing a guy taking me out,
Speaker 1: buying me things, doing nice things. Manage. Oh, he's just
Speaker 1: trying to get some coats. Yeah, that's how you did it.
Speaker 4: That's what you're supposed to do. It's the whole job
Speaker 4: to court me. You're supposed to court me and do
Speaker 4: the things I want done that you want done.
Speaker 1: And the problem is will you maintain it?
Speaker 3: But which is not even that?
Speaker 4: The thing is this, once I've once I've decided that
Speaker 4: you've earned my vote, that means you already done enough
Speaker 4: for me to take the step. So the minute that
Speaker 4: you stop maintaining that, I don't give you no more
Speaker 4: of whatever it is that you want for me. You
Speaker 4: understand I'm saying. So, of course, your job is to
Speaker 4: do the ship that I need you to do. Like right,
Speaker 4: if you're working for me and you do it, okay, boy,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pay you the minute you stop doing the
Speaker 4: ship that I want done? Did I find you like
Speaker 4: that's part of it, that's part of the process. You're
Speaker 4: supposed to pay it. You're suppanta do all the ship
Speaker 4: that I want you to do so that I get
Speaker 4: on your side. That shit blew my mind. I'm like, so,
Speaker 4: what is he supposed to do? Not do the ship
Speaker 4: that I want and still expect me to be on
Speaker 4: this side? Like I want to understand what are y'all
Speaker 4: going for? Y'all love y'all don't want to vote for
Speaker 4: the people or put people in office that do the
Speaker 4: ship that you want them to do so that they
Speaker 4: can get you on they side. I'm funk saying. I'm
Speaker 4: not talking about don't just say what I want you
Speaker 4: to say. I'm talking about do what I want you
Speaker 4: to do, do the ship that I want you to do.
Speaker 4: That's how you get somebody's vote. But I digress, man.
Speaker 4: You know people, it's people, crazy people. It's crazy people,
Speaker 4: and that they're gonna be what they be, man, And
Speaker 4: you be on.
Speaker 1: There talking to folks that I wouldn't give them, and
Speaker 1: you be talking to people to harry and tell them
Speaker 1: and with a shot souse.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's just I really just be wanting to understand
Speaker 4: what they be saying, because it be.
Speaker 1: Like, no, you don't you understand. That's not what it is.
Speaker 1: It's not that you want to understand what they be saying.
Speaker 1: You be wanting them to understand what you're what you're saying.
Speaker 1: That's what makes you insane to convince someone who is
Speaker 1: paid or and or a volunteer to assist them that
Speaker 1: never ever wants to hear your truth or understand anything
Speaker 1: you say.
Speaker 4: What I want to do is get somebody who is
Speaker 4: saying something to actually hear what they're saying, right, because
Speaker 4: when they say shit that don't make sense, I often
Speaker 4: repeat it and say, so is this what you're saying
Speaker 4: so they can listen and be like and their offen.
Speaker 4: So no, that's not what I'm saying' saying No, that's
Speaker 4: exactly what you're saying. Well, I didn't then say what
Speaker 4: you say some shit that makes sense? Stop saying shit
Speaker 4: that makes absolutely zero sense. That's it.
