WEBVTT - Disturb The Peace

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Up Sides Team, You're listening to The Daily Game, the

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>James Baldwin is the source of this quote today as

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>an activist and author, Baldwin is known for fighting for

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>civil and gay rights. Its quote fits his mo artists

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>are here to disturb the piece, absolutely absolutely. Now you

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>have two different kinds of artists. You have artists that

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>make art that just come from the heart with their

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>ideas and their influences and what they see in life.

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Then you have a different kind of artists who will

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>go in the museum see what people like and then

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>try to emulate that. It's like me listening to a

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>record on the radio. Everyone likes it, and then I

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>try to copy it. Those aren't artists. Those are emula.

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Those are people that are copying. But a real, true

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>artist is coming from the heart. And I believe anything

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>from the heart will be controversial because its opinion. It's

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a viewpoint, and someone will always have a counterviewpoint. So

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>if you really are saying about something, it will disturb

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the peace. Some artists are more controversial and more opinionated

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and more radical than others, and they set out to

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>disturb the peace. I know myself, NWA Public Enemy. We

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>set out to disturb the peace because we weren't happy

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>with the peace. The piece was black people having injustices

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>put upon us police brutality, and a lot of other

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>social indignities that were going on in our lives. So

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to shake that shit up. So fuck your peace.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna make it uncomfortable for you, at least long

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>enough for you to listen. I think what we did

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>help change the world because a lot of the things

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we sung about, young white kids understood for the first time.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>They may not have got it from the history books,

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>but they got it from me, a public Enemy or Kars,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and they said, you know what, these black kids ain't

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>mad at us. They're mad at things. They're mad at

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>issues that dad, mom, I think they're fucked up. I

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>think this is in just and we were able to

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>change the world together. So when James Baldwin says an

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>artist's job artists are here to disturb the peace, I

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>absolutely totally agree with him. And if you're an artist

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're not disrupting the piece, you're basically doing what

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>we call pop.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>You're tempting to be popular.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And in the world of music, where you'll have the

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Bob Marley's, or you'll have the Jimmy Hendrix's, or you'll

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>have the Chuck D's, there's a different level of respect

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that goes to those who broke the rules versus those

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>who fell in line. It's a whole different level of

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>respect goes out to some of the great blues players

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that went up against racism and segregation and those people

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>that fought those battles. Different level of respect than someone

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>who's just making a pop record to get on the

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>radio and ain't really moving nothing.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.519
<v Speaker 2>If you're a real artist, you should be disturbing the piece.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Another thing I could say about it is you don't

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>necessarily got to disturb the piece with your music as

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>much as with your personality. One of the great people

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I heard and I always been a fan of, was

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>David Bowie who really sent the bullet right through the

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>head of MTV back in the day when he talked

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to them about playing black people on their station.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>And if you haven't ever heard it.

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>You should go to YouTube and google David Bowie MTV

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.119
<v Speaker 1>interview and he disturbed the piece and therefore people respect

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>him that much more for having a stance about what's

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>right and wrong than any music you make.

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>So you know, being.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>About something does help a lot. This has been another

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 1>ice cold fact from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that your art

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>can change the world.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:23.840
