I guess let's start in London. 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: Let's start. Let's start with the London situation. Yeah, London 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: some some level of positivity first and you know, for 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: anybody I wasn't aware. We went to Royal Alcohol in 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: London myself Troy uh nineteen keys Ian Dunlap, Wall Street Trapper, 44 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 4: Trisha Brett MG, a mortgage guy except the mortgage guy 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 4: from London to B D Stevens. So many different people. 46 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: I don't want to figure anybody's name, but so many 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: different people. And you know, it was a historic event. 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: Royal Alcohol, one of the most prestigious venues in the world. 49 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 4: You know, sold out over four thousand people in in 50 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 4: in London. Crazy at sphere. It felt like a show. 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 4: No no musical performance, no celebrities, just education people. It's 52 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 4: just it was just an amazing experience. So first and 53 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: foremost I wanted to think everybody in London for showing 54 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: us so much hospitality, so much love shots and everybody 55 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 4: from America that came over and you know, we was 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: just talking about that. 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: Man. 58 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 4: It's just like, you know, that was just a moment 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 4: in time, and it's just crazy that, you know, no 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: blog site or no otheration at mass has picked that 61 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: story up, because that's not normal. 62 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: You know, we think of the world alcohol. 63 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: That's where the Queen spoke, that's where you know the 64 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: Beatles played, that's where Adele sayings, that's where you know 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: jay Z performed. So this is the equivalent of like 66 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: Carnegie Hall, but even bigger. It's hard to give it 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: a comparison in America. So for us from America to 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: come over there, it has never been done before in 69 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: history of Europe, for the whole entire continent, there's never 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: been anything done like that from foreigners or from people 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 4: from the country to have financial literacy. 72 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: Pack. 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: It's just it's never actually been done in the history 74 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: of the continent. So for that to happen for the 75 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: first time ever for the history of the continent, and 76 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: for that to happen, you know, you're a you're a 77 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 4: you're thinking of colbinize white people. So the first time 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: that has ever happened in the whole entire history of 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 4: the continent was black people from America. It's a little 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: disheartening that nobody has picked this story up. 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's very tail tale. It's very tell 82 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: tale because you know, walking on that stage and you know, 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 2: when I walked on stage, you know, we had a 84 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: grand entrance, a grand deal's entrance. But when you walk 85 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: on that stage, man, and the way that it's like 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: a fishball, right, and you feel very personally, you feel 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: very connected to the crowd, and it felt like, you know, 88 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: I can imagine the gladiator walking into a coliseum, right, 89 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: and you ful feel that energy that suckle the energy 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: of all of the people around you. The only thing 91 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: I could do when I walked out of there of 92 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: screaming people that is in the audience was put my 93 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: hands up and embrace it. That's what it gave me, 94 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: the energy, and I just embraced the energy. And then 95 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: I turned that into a fist because I felt like 96 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: this was about me embracing it. Then I put the 97 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: fist up and it was about the people. And you know, 98 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: I think, I wonder if part of it is that 99 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: we don't know how to report good news in our culture. 100 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: I think that the machine of media is completely an 101 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: arm of negativity and entertainment that we don't know how 102 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: to report good news and our culture whatsoever. So if 103 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: one of us does something bad, it is blocked, it 104 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: is recording, it's streamed, it's shared, it's politicized. People put 105 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: all of their comments on it, celebrities we didn't even 106 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 2: know news. Everybody has an opinion on it. They share 107 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: it that it's on a front page, to post it, 108 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: to engage in their fans and commentary about it. It's 109 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: everywhere it's viral, And so I said, like, if you're 110 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: not sharing the good, I don't give a fuck about 111 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: your opinion on the bat, Like you invalidate your total 112 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: existence of anything you have to say one hundred percent. 113 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: And as black media specifically, you invalidate your platform if 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: your platform is not to share good news in the culture, 115 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: Like what else do you have your platform for? So 116 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: you have to think about it, like ask yourself, why 117 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: are these people building platforms if it's not to share 118 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: the type of news, particularly like this, And it's not 119 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: that don't say that they don't know about it. We're 120 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: very hard to ignore. We're very hard to ignore. We're everywhere, 121 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: you know. But what happens is is that during these 122 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: particular times, I think one of the greatest quotes is 123 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: that what you say your words in your silence will 124 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: both be judged. Like I want you all to think 125 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: about that. Your words in your silence will be judged 126 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: during these times. When you are silent during acts of injustice, 127 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: you're judged by that right. And then when you speak 128 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: against things that are good or on cold, when you're 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: being off cold, you judge by that as well. So 130 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: the people will be looking at these platforms, and you 131 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: don't want history to record that you were silent right 132 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: as we were manifesting these things to be brought into reality, 133 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: because that's violence. Silence is violence. It's saying that we 134 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: don't want nobody to know about y'all. It's like blocking 135 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: a person. It's like trying to shadow ban them. They're saying, 136 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: And no, I know y'all doing good, and I can't 137 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: think of a single bad thing that y'all done as 138 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: far as how the impact is going directly towards these 139 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: young men and women out here, and y'all doing exactly 140 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: what we want y'all to do. But I can't use 141 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: my platform to support y'all. Why So I'm not going 142 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: to tally a guess that's too why I'm gonna let 143 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: y'all think about that. Why. What is the spirit? What 144 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: is the spirit of our people? What is the spirit 145 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: of some of the people that's here watching. What is 146 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: the spirit that we have for each other? When we 147 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: have all of the passion when something negative happens, none 148 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: of the passion when something good happens. 149 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 4: And that's true, and it's responsibility and it's not just 150 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 4: you know, you can't look at pages. It's like these 151 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: are just Instagram pages. They're media outlets. Meet their media 152 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 4: outlets because nobody's reading new pagers, nobody's listening to the news. 153 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 4: But they are going to Shadle, they are going to 154 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: Spiritual World Word, they are going to academics pages. So 155 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: these are actual media outlets. So with a media outlet 156 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: comes responsibility. And my thing is like, you can want, 157 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 4: but you have to look yourself in the mirror. Wand 158 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: the only thing that you're publishing is celebrity gossip and negativity. 159 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I understand that that's what people are interested in, 160 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 4: but why not have some level of alternative narrative because that. 161 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: We prove that this people interested in as well. 162 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. So that's what I'm saying. 163 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 4: Why don't you just have an alternative narrative because it's 164 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 4: obviously people aren't interested in that as well, and you 165 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 4: are not helping by continuously posting things that are not beneficial. 166 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: It's nonsense. And you keep posting the same things and 167 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 4: shout out to like little UZI verbs. I'm a big 168 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 4: fan of his, but how is he goes viral for 169 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 4: dancing on top of a car and I see every 170 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: every outlet post in that. 171 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: But how that helpful? And how is that beneficial? 172 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: Mm hm, And you can't And that to me says 173 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: that you can't have any critic sism towards the youth 174 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: and any of their antics and actions. If you don't 175 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: promote anything inspiring right in a way to where they 176 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 2: can follow it, that's a consequence that can help them 177 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: better themselves. So if you only promote the things that 178 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: are negative, and then you look out in the world 179 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: say why these you don't mean killing each other?

If you don't do that, then you're perpetuating 186 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: the things that you complain about. So you literally are 187 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: are an opt You are part of the problem.

Like I said, it doesn't have to be 218 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 4: one hundred percent of the programming from every single blog 219 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: or Instagram page, but at least that fifteen percent of 220 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: programming that's beneficial, right, And this goes for all of 221 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 4: the blogs, all of the Instagram pages, all of the 222 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 4: influencers that's putting up content, because you keep putting up 223 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: the same content and it's not beneficial and it's harmful. 224 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: And the thing about it is that we keep we 225 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: always try to like like Toray shot to him, but 226 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: he put up up about how hip hop music is 227 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 4: not the reason of crime, and I'm like, yeah, it 228 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 4: kind of is, like at some point we gotta be honest, right, Like, yeah, 229 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: of course, poverty, of course all that. But to say 230 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 4: that music is not something that is not harmful is 231 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 4: a lie. It's actually been extremely harmful and the majority 232 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 4: of it is not beneficial. And the majority of the 233 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: of the influencers that on social media are not beneficial. 234 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 4: When we're just hearing about celebrity gossip and this person 235 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 4: cheated on this person and Nick Cannon is having his 236 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 4: thirteenth child. How is that beneficial? How is Nick Cannon 237 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 4: having his thirteenth child beneficial to your life? 238 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: So I don't know, how is that? How is that 239 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: something that's going to be beneficial? 240 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: How is that something that is going to be inspirational 241 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: or something that a young boy is going to look at? 242 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: And the spider that I'm not knock connected shout out 243 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 4: to him, salute whatever he wants to do. But what 244 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: I'm saying is that why why are you publicizing every 245 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: single time he's having each child? 246 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: And I think that the reality of it is is 247 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: that we know our power and the family and the 248 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: brother Dion says something key, you know, we prove that 249 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: we don't need them, right. And you know when me 250 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 2: and you talk, were always talking about the solutions to 251 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 2: these things, and we're talking about how if you create 252 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: a blog culture around what we do right, it helps 253 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: influence and it helps validate right, this new courture that 254 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: we represent right because one hundred percent, music is the 255 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: soundtrack that influences people. Music is the most influential thing 256 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: on the planet. Earth, right, Because people listen to music 257 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: over and over and over. It's hypnotizing, right, it's the 258 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: soundtrack when a person want to go kill somebody, they're 259 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: literally put on a type of music to put themselves 260 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: in the moved to condition them so that they can 261 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: go out there and commit a crime. Right. So we 262 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: know the reality of it is that you got to 263 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: change the frequency because the dominant frequency wins. If the 264 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: dominant frequency is that of a death culture, a destructive curture, right, 265 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: then therefore that's the frequency that people, especially that are 266 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: highly influenced, that are impoverished environments, that's the one that 267 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: they ride in on. 268 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: Right. 269 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: But if their environment is immersed in education and knowledge 270 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: and inspiration, then it forces them to have a different 271 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: outcome because that's all they know. Right. We are people 272 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: that just get programmed, and we are very emotional people, 273 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: and it's easy to program people through they motions. So 274 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: we can make a list of who is the top 275 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: one hundred most influential people within our culture in our media, 276 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: and if you go to them, you say, well, listen, 277 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: here's a solid program we really want to push. Right, 278 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: what these brothers is doing. Look, they had ten thousand 279 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: people here. Look, they had five thousand people. Could y'all 280 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: help them get into fifty thousand people? Could y'all help 281 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: them reach five hundred million people? Like if you really care? 282 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: Now they got to say yes or no. But we 283 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: got to start putting that out there so people know. 284 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: They say, well, listen, man, we brought the program to 285 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: the people that y'all consider to be on cod that 286 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: y'all consider to be a part of the culture. But 287 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: the reality of it is, they denied us. They said 288 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: they don't fuck with us. They said that this don't 289 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: make enough money. They said that this doesn't directly go 290 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: with their business plan. So we had we can't look 291 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: at everybody, and that's why I look at the difference 292 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: between race and ethnicity. Everybody may be you may be 293 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: an African origin, you may be a black man melanated. 294 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: But do we have the same ethnic background. Do we 295 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: have the same of faith and belief system on where 296 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: we actually want the curture to go? Do we speak 297 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: the same lifeanguage? So we get confused a lot because 298 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: you look like me, but you don't think like me. 299 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: Our values is not the same. So there's a lot 300 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: of people and that when we see a lot of 301 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: people speaking out on things that are counter to what 302 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: we think would be on cold to a good culture. 303 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: It is because they have a completely different ethnic background. 304 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: They believes are different, so they shouldn't even be qualified 305 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: to even speak. They should not give the credit of 306 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: saying that that's a black business. It's not not the 307 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: type of what we're talking about. When I said I 308 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: look at a brother like Rashad and he want to 309 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: use all his time to educate people, I see a 310 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: brother like him five huney when he use always time 311 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: to educate people, Adams good energy, all the time to 312 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: execute people. That's a completely different ethnic group inside the 313 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: black culture, right than somebody who uses all they time 314 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: to talk about how I came from the hood. I 315 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: just want to kill niggas and rob him and take 316 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: the bitch. 317 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 4: WOULDNA say said, see niggas in black. They goes a 318 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 4: loud difference, It goes down and at some point we 319 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 4: got to have a real conversation like Shana Alex, he 320 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 4: just put Jamaica just being volunt At some point we 321 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 4: got to have some level of responsibility what we're endorsing 322 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 4: and what and they got to be opposition. We got 323 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: to draw opposition from shit that's detrimental and harmful. And 324 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 4: you said something that was very key a long time ago. 325 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: You was like, you know, the rappers, a lot of 326 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 4: they always say like, this is just my environment. Well 327 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: put it how you put it, because I don't even 328 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 4: want to I don't want to misquote your But. 329 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 2: It's one thing to reflect your environment, it's a it's 330 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: another thing to reflect what you want to see in 331 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: the environment. Right. So you have your reflections and then 332 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: you have your aspirations.

But it's 378 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 4: it's it's it's so many things to unpack from this situation. 379 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 4: First of all, So like I said, first of all, 380 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 4: rest in peace to him, and you know, prayers to 381 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 4: his family.

You're gonna look at 388 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: what are the things these things have in common? You 389 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: start looking for common threads, right, and so we don't 390 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 2: take responsibility and accountability whatsoever in this culture. We're gonna cry, 391 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna say we need to do better, We're gonna 392 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: say we need to change. But you know, any good detectives, right, 393 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: is going to start looking for connections. What are these 394 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: things have in common? Right? And the music is the 395 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: most you know, connecting force that these things have in common, 396 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 2: the influence, the vibration, the frequency, the lyrics. So if 397 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 2: these type of rappers, you know, we see that consider 398 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: themselves to be street, consider themselves to be gangster, consider 399 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: themselves to talk about a particular type of lifestyle. If 400 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 2: these are the brothers that's being taken out the most, right, 401 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: then and we know that there's a common now in 402 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 2: theres a thread of things that need to change, because 403 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: I see, I've seen all of the names I was 404 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: on there talking about. They don't want rappers to be 405 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: taken down for their lyrics in court. And I believe that, yes, 406 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: you should have a certain artistic integrity. But if the 407 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: reality of it is, we know niggas be talking about 408 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: shit that they be doing in their lyrics, and they 409 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: want to brag about put niggas in a pack, They 410 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: talk about putt niggas in a pack. Then they go 411 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: out there and rap about it, and somebody mother got 412 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 2: to hear that over and over and over, and we 413 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: as a coach are supposed to stand up behind that shit. 414 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: You niggas is demons. But let's be honest, if you 415 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: killed my child and you rapped about it, then somebody 416 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: gonna want to murder you. Like that has to happen. 417 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: So when we stand up in front of that right 418 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: and we be like, nah, we got to stand up 419 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 2: for that. What about lyric reform? Right? What about changing 420 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 2: the things that you rap about? How you gonna talk 421 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: about killing niggas and then tell the coach, y'all need 422 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 2: to stand up. I should have my right to talk 423 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: about niggas that I killed, or talk about crimes that 424 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: my homie done did, or like, we gotta come on, now, 425 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: that's a strategy. We gotta make a fun difference. So 426 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 2: if you niggas really care, right, then that means that 427 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: you would change your way so that you would get 428 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: caught up in the same thing niggas know not to 429 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: snitch on themselves. I'm from Oakland and I grew up 430 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, so I know the streets very well. 431 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: You understand me. I understand that niggas shuldn't be wrapping 432 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: up out their crimes. That's not hard to do. We 433 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 2: see niggas getting caught up for ricos. So the problem 434 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: is is though you know, the activist community will support 435 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 2: that and push that right, but we don't get that 436 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: same support on the side where we're pushing out the 437 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: cure for this issues in these problems. But I think 438 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: that what we need to change is to say that 439 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: we can be heavy on the activist side, because the 440 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: activism is just moving people, showing them what the problem 441 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 2: is is activating them. But sometimes we got to make 442 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: sure that our activists are pushing towards supporting the solutions 443 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 2: as well. Because if I get killed, man, I'm on 444 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: everybody page. Man, y'all marching for me. But as I 445 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: live and breathe and make decisions that are good, and 446 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: we bring people together and educate them so that we 447 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 2: can destroy the crime rates, destroy the poverty rates, so 448 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: that they don't get to the point where niggas are 449 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: killing each other because they have more options because they're educated. Right, 450 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: there's no support for that. So what I start to 451 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: see is like you get so caught up in a 452 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: system that you can actually help change it, so you 453 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: become another arm of it. And what we do is 454 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: because we're so independent and we realize that ain't nobody 455 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: is coming behind young black men educating and they ain't 456 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 2: propping this up, like this shit ain't the most important 457 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: work in the world when you can get three thousand 458 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: plus people all the way across season, the most prestigious 459 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 2: event in the world, and y'all want to act like 460 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: that's a normal shit. But the nigga have a throng 461 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: talking about niggas and bitches that become a hit or 462 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: he talk about Megan Stallion and the lyric. All of 463 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: a sudden, everybody need to talk about that shit. Come on, man, like, 464 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: how low are we? And then we mad that other 465 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 2: people treat us like we divide it? Obviously we are. 466 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: I'm just saying like to me, I'm just I got 467 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: so much common sense. I could take this ship to 468 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: the bank, you understand me, and get paid off of it, 469 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: like it just don't make no sense to me. 470 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 4: I mean, the good points the lyric re form thing 471 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 4: is is brilliant because it's like, yeah, you keep fighting 472 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 4: for these things, and you keep chating, You'll let them 473 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 4: stay whatever they want. And and it's like, you know, 474 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 4: prison reform, and like Cary he said, but you're not 475 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 4: what you're rapping about things that's gonna get you into prison. 476 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: And that's not a shot at meat milk, because I 477 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 4: rock with meat milk, but that's just in general for 478 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 4: rap artists. And it's like at some level, like we're 479 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 4: not We're not gonna have no level of intelligence at all, 480 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 4: Like how is this intelligent? How is it intelligent to 481 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: keep rapping about killing people and taking drugs and taking 482 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 4: prescription court medicine and putting tattoos in your on your face, 483 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 4: and how is that intelligent? 484 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 3: And how is that?

Sometimes you 489 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 4: gotta smack a child, you gotta spink them, and you 490 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 4: got to discipline them, like yo, bro, like this is 491 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 4: not what we're doing, Like this is really it's really 492 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 4: not because it's not working, and and it keeps happening, 493 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 4: and it keeps happening.

It's not 497 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: even so much blame. It's looking at the interconnectivity of 498 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: how these things get pushed out.

Jay Cole drop a 503 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: hot line of hot bar all the fucking time and 504 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: it should go you understand me. So it's like this, 505 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 2: you're telling me that this is actually this is actually monetizable, 506 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: like niggas is buying it, this is profitable to do. 507 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: So how come that's not what's being pushed by the 508 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: record labels. 509 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 4: Because the crazy thing is the most successful artists in 510 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 4: the world. Rap artists in the world right now are Drake, 511 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: Jake Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. 512 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 3: None of them are gangster Drake. 513 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 4: Every once in a while Drake might, but nobody really 514 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 4: looks at Drake's not like no gangs believe It's like 515 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: the most successful business model is anti it's anti dad. 516 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. All of these guys are presentable. 517 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 3: All of these guys. 518 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 4: None of these guys are rapping about, you know, just 519 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 4: taking drugs twenty four to seven. None of these guys 520 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 4: is rapping about killing people twenty four to seven. 521 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 3: And they at the top, they at them mount rushmore. 522 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: The situation. So, if the most successful business model is 523 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: something that is productive on a certain level, why wouldn't 524 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: that be the blueprint? 525 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: Bro That's because because P and B can get killed 526 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: and robbed as a rapper, being g can make a 527 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: song on how to rob a rapper? We don't have 528 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: no accountability in this culture whatsoever. We don't really care. 529 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 4: That was something that was and iracka why imagine person. 530 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 4: We interviewed him for a revolt. But some things is right, 531 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 4: some things is wrong. That's wrong. Why would you make 532 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 4: a song called how to Rob a rapper one week 533 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: after a rapper got killed, even if the song was 534 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 4: recorded six months ago, even if that's not what you're 535 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 4: talking about, insensitive to his family, and it's it is 536 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 4: you trying to say how to rapper when you yourself 537 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 4: are a rapper. 538 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: Just imagine, imagine if see this, this is what we 539 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: have to understand. Imagine if a Jewish Man was killed 540 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: and then you made a song with how to how 541 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: to rob a Jewish Man, the whole their community will 542 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: be an uproar against that. Our community has to care, 543 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: that's why. And so when we don't show we care 544 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: and we forget about it, you understand me, then we're 545 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: complicit in it as well. And this ain't about yg 546 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: but it's just more so about how we're hypocritical when 547 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: it comes to us morning one thing and then celebrating 548 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: the very thing that kills me. And so it's one 549 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: of the quotes, my favorite quotes to think about the 550 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: culture is that we had died before we give up 551 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 2: the thing that kills us. 552 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the whole and the whole thing is just 553 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 3: checking in. 554 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 4: You're only making people that check in that look like you. 555 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: You're not telling nobody. You're not telling Italian man to 556 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 4: check in. You're not telling the Jewish man to check in. 557 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 4: Because when the Jewish man comes in, he said, and 558 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 4: he's your landlord, and he says you better have my 559 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 4: money at the end of the month where you're getting 560 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 4: kicked out, you're gonna rob a black. 561 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 3: Man to give him your money. 562 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: That's a fact that we were bullied in our culture. 563 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: There ain't no gang it ain't no There are no 564 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: gangster rappers.

But 668 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 2: if you talk about killing each other, shit, we're reward 669 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: you by putting an add on that shit so you 670 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 2: can get paid. So we can influence the same destructive 671 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: culture to buy into our products. We all know the 672 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 2: business model. It's a business model of death and destruction. 673 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: So we got to create a different business model to 674 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 2: be like, how do we monetize doing good? And that's 675 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 2: what we do. We monetize doing good. So the more 676 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: success that we have, the better the world is. Because 677 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 2: it's a representation that we're actually selling this Like a 678 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 2: person selling vitamins. Well, if this man is selling billions 679 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 2: and vitamins, that means that the world is getting healthier. 680 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: That's what we're doing. Though. We're selling health in life 681 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 2: and construction to our people, in education and enlightenment and 682 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: options in business strategy and wealth, you know, in structure 683 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 2: and set up. We're not selling death and destruction to nobody. 684 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: So that means that you should pray that we become 685 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: more successful because it's a representation that we got a 686 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,479 Speaker 2: better future coming about that we put in our money 687 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 2: where what our heart is and our spirit and where 688 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: our mind is. So that's why I get frustrated. And 689 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: I'll be like y'all exactly, y'all think y'all can take 690 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 2: this for granted and complain ain't about the issue that 691 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 2: don't make no sense. That's like a person's complaining about 692 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 2: a virus the whole time, and think of like, yo, 693 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 2: I got a cure to be like, nah, bro, we're 694 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 2: talking about the virus right now, but what about. 695 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 3: The cured door. 696 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 2: Nobody want to talk about this, don't you know? This 697 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 2: is how we get rid of the virus. And everybody 698 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 2: want to talk about the problem, and everybody wants to 699 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: ignore the solution. 700 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 4: And with the solution, Yeah right, yeah, absolutely right, yeah, 701 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 4: absolutely right. 702 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the state of culture. Kyrie. 703 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 2: Oh, my brother. 704 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 4: Good good friend of yours. I met him. I met him, 705 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 4: I spent a couple of hours with him. I know 706 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 4: he follows her your leisure. He's been tapped in with 707 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 4: us for a while. And I'm not saying, I'm like 708 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 4: his best friend. I met him one time. But meeting 709 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 4: him and having a conversation about hip hop and about 710 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 4: you know, sports and about so much different stuff. 711 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 3: And to me, to do. 712 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 4: Person somebody that really, you know, struck me as somebody 713 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 4: that's just really into receipt even information and gaining information. 714 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 4: That's the that's the vibe that I got from him. 715 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 4: A good dude to me. So where are we at 716 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 4: with this Kyrie Urban situation? 717 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: That's my brother, man. I love my brother. You know, 718 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: there's a saying I seen my brother law posts. He say, 719 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: we criticize in private and we praise in public. That's 720 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 2: the code, right, So I want to give praise to 721 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 2: my brother first, Kyrie Irving for being on an active 722 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: campaign and journey to find himself boldly in front of 723 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: the world. You know how hard that is to to 724 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: have a platform with millions of people are judging you 725 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 2: on a consistent daily basis, and at the same time 726 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 2: you're utilizing your platform while you know, sacrificing yourself and 727 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: losing hundreds of millions of dollars because he lost one 728 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars, he said, standing up for what he 729 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: believed was his beliefs during the COVID height right by 730 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 2: not taking a ya. So, first of all, I want 731 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 2: to respect the brother for standing on integrity. You understand me, 732 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 2: And I think that that's a thousand percent important and 733 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: that has to be recognizing the history and the lineage 734 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 2: of the good brother Kyrie Irvan. You understand me, and 735 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 2: you know there's not too many people and the entertainment 736 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 2: in the sports world that stand for anything anymore. Right 737 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 2: we sing Shaq, Charles Barkley, Kareem abdua Elijah line have 738 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 2: all been weaponized against a young black man growing up 739 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: in the same game that it made them famous. And 740 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: instead of I imagine reaching out and having personal conversations 741 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 2: with him and trying to help give him mentorship and 742 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: give him guidance, right, instead, they go on public platforms, right, 743 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 2: and they do the master's bidding. Right. They want to 744 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: talk about it. They want to call him names, right, 745 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,439 Speaker 2: they wanted to mean his talent and his opportunity. That's 746 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: so disrespectful, right, that's disrespectful to all black people in 747 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: his word, disrespectful to all older men who's supposed to 748 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 2: give constructive The brother only thirty years old in the 749 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 2: sixties and the thing that you can go on there 750 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: is criticized and called the man out his name to 751 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 2: where his son and his daughter and people of that 752 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: nature or his wife is going to have to hear that. 753 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 2: It's so disrespectful number one, And it's the most off 754 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: cold thing in a culture that can possibly happen. So 755 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: there needs to be a conversation with them, brothers number 756 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 2: one right about their behavior, right, that's completely anti black 757 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 2: and number two with brother Curry and anybody else, you know, 758 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 2: because I think the most dangerous thing is that, you know, 759 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: we can't continue to allow bullying to become a norm 760 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 2: in our curture so that they can utilize that to 761 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: spread fear and everybody else to stay in their place, 762 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: right number one. I don't think he made any mistakes 763 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 2: per se as far as him sharing content that he 764 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 2: said that he watched or he wanted to watch, because 765 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: we all do that, right. I watched millions of movies 766 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 2: or thousands rather, and I don't have to explain to 767 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 2: anybody what I agree with or whether I disagree with things. 768 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: I think what we can do as a people is 769 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 2: that when we are ready to speak, we have the 770 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 2: ability to defend our truth. And we're only ready to 771 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: speak when we have the ability and the thoughtfulness to 772 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 2: defend that truth. And then we have to make sure 773 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 2: that we are an active council with people that will 774 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 2: allow us to gain the best thought leadership so that 775 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 2: when we are in front of the world, we can 776 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: speak with a clear representation of our peers' mind. Right, 777 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: we know as a people, as a brother that's listening 778 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 2: and actively engaging to understand him. Right when I listened 779 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 2: to his press conference, I hear the brother actively explaining 780 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 2: himself very clearly, and everybody else understood what he was 781 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 2: saying and what he meant. So this is no longer 782 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 2: about him being clarified and what that meant. Now it's 783 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 2: about them punishing him. Now, it's about they're weakening his position. 784 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: Now there's about saying that, come on, none of the 785 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 2: other you other niggas in the NBA beding I ever 786 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: think about being like, no Kyrie Irving, We're gonna show 787 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: you understand me. And so for any of us to 788 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 2: participate in that, right, it's dangerous. And one last thing 789 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: is that there's this movie called Goodbye Uncle Tom that 790 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 2: everybody should watch, and there's this scene in the movie. 791 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: And in the scene, there's this slave in the slave 792 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 2: house and he's getting neutered. They're cutting off his boss 793 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: and the rest of the slaves. They're standing around and 794 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 2: they're laughing. They're laughing, and the narrator's the pseudo documentary 795 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 2: he's explaining, he said, you know, they're not particularly laughing 796 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 2: because they are you know, enjoyed, but they're laughing to 797 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: cover up the pain, hoping that they don't be next, understand, 798 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 2: And I think that that's what's happening, and it's a 799 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 2: bug breaking process, right, And the rest of them are 800 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 2: actively campaigning on the side of Rome so that they 801 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 2: don't be next, because they're doing it completely out of fear, 802 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 2: and so that we as a people can allow, you know, 803 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 2: any I'm gonna just say any white man to actively 804 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 2: admonish a black man on TV, because this is America. 805 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 2: Nobody has been treated worse than black men and women 806 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: in America. Nobody. And that's not even an argument that 807 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 2: any people on this planet Earth can make. So when 808 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 2: we look at the statistical challenges that black men face 809 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 2: from a mental health standpoint, that we face, from a 810 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 2: gun violent standpoint that we face from a disease standpoint, 811 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 2: from a prison population standpoint, from a poverty standpoint. The 812 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 2: most important topics in America is fixing the issues with 813 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 2: black men. So you're talking about men of privilege and 814 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 2: power that are owners of institutions and corporations that have 815 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars, utilizing their power to go 816 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 2: on TV and ad monish your young man that utilize 817 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 2: his talent and says that I am actively in a 818 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 2: search to find myself because of what somebody else's ancestors 819 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: did was ropping and robbing me of my own history 820 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 2: from our people because of slavery. So if there was 821 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 2: a people that understood that the most you would imagine 822 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 2: the sympathy that the Jewish community wants, then they should 823 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: they should act with some sort of empathy. They should 824 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 2: act with an actor sympathy, and they should open up 825 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 2: a line of communication. But that's not what it's about. 826 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 2: It's about a pure attack, and it's about capitalists. It's 827 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 2: about people that are at the top right making examples 828 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 2: of people inside these franchises and these organizations. And so 829 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 2: I believe that it's a very dangerous demonstration of what 830 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 2: we're seeing right now. And I know that a lot 831 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 2: of us lack the ability to, you know, give thoughtful commentary, 832 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 2: which means that we should just shut up.

And I think that it's disrespectful. 878 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: And like I said, specifically to the young man that 879 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 2: see that, like the example that they setting to young 880 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 2: men that see that, they're seeing a grown man talk 881 00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 2: shit about for a lot of these young men who 882 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 2: they idol, who they wear those they wear his shoes, 883 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 2: and they love Kyrie Irving, and you will get on 884 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 2: there and call him an idiot. It's the same thing 885 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 2: when Obama went on TV and he called Kanye jackass. 886 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 2: You understand me, Like that's and whether he say it 887 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 2: was supposed to be seen or not, like, this is 888 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 2: not good demonstration, right from these men who's supposed to 889 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 2: be in these positions. They're supposed to be highly intelligent, right, 890 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 2: that are a deck of millionaires, right, they have influence 891 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 2: that will reach millions of people. If you believe that 892 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 2: the reason that you're saying is because he not utilized 893 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 2: his platform correctly, because he has influence, then how you're 894 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 2: going to go out and do the exact same thing 895 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 2: when you know that there's a lot of violence in 896 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 2: the street, and the first thing you go do is 897 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 2: speak violently against your brother, even how you use your 898 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: platform correctly. 899 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 4: But even Obama had enough, had enough where with Thor 900 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 4: because if you remember when he said that that was 901 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 4: kind of off the record, he was, but then and 902 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 4: they put it out there, at least he knew he 903 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 4: had enough common sense to say, don't put that out there. Charles, Like, 904 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 4: these dudes is going on like this is premeditative and 905 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 4: doing this. 906 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 2: It's not like charge we know Charles Barkley ain't never 907 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: on the right side of history. 908 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 4: They doing for no reason, I think. But once again, 909 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 4: this is this goes back to we have to point 910 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 4: to blame it ourselves because we give too much influence 911 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:23,240 Speaker 4: and too much power to athletes and musicians. As black people, 912 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 4: we have Charles Barkley don't need to have no influence, 913 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 4: Charles Barky don't need to have a voice because he's 914 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 4: never anything that's He's never said anything that has been productive. 915 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 4: Never in life, he's never said anything that's been productive. 916 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 4: Why is he Why does he have a voice? 917 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: But see, that's the same thing with politicians. A lot 918 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 2: of times is that politicians is not We don't vote 919 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 2: for politicians based on their intelligence, right, And this is 920 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 2: the one of the primary things that is an issue 921 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,240 Speaker 2: fundamentally with society is that we're not picking people based 922 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 2: on thatity to solve a problem whatsoever. Right, otherwise Biden 923 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 2: will not be president. Biden is represents, you know, a 924 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 2: very old white man who did not intelligently provide discords 925 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 2: and intellect that says that you are the best candidate. 926 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 2: And it's the same thing when we looking at our 927 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 2: culture and our people. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever from 928 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 2: an intellectual standpoint where you represent somebody who should have 929 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 2: a voice on political issues. You don't know anything about 930 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 2: political science, you don't have some high level IQ, you 931 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 2: haven't passed the test, you haven't showed an example whatsoever. 932 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 2: So we got to start looking at who are actually 933 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 2: qualified in the culture for our people to speak. Right. 934 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 2: So what's the point of saying that yo, y'all need 935 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 2: to go get an education if the people that are 936 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 2: most educated, right, are not the ones that represent us? 937 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 2: And what's the point of that. 938 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 4: They do is so disrespectful, Like even even when they 939 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 4: try to prop up a black leader, it's herschel Walker 940 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 4: is running herschel Walker about to herschel Walker, he's sounding 941 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 4: crazy out here right now.

So it's like to say 1002 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 4: that people are not interested in it. That's not actually true. 1003 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 4: It's not actually true because when you can drop a 1004 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 4: conversation for four hours, three and a half hours, talking 1005 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 4: about you know, metaphysics and biology and history, all of 1006 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:42,280 Speaker 4: these different extraterrestrial activity, and you know three million people 1007 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 4: watch it, Well, somebody's watching it. 1008 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, people are people three and a half man. 1009 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:50,879 Speaker 3: So where where these people? 1010 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 4: If people are not interested in your least have one 1011 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 4: point two million followers on Instagram and for us to 1012 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 4: have fourteen thousand people that investment, some four thousand people 1013 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 4: in London. 1014 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 3: Somebody's interested.

There's not a billionaire that's in our culture 1021 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 2: that did that before. Deca millionaire. There's nobody that did 1022 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 2: this before. This is the first time in history. You 1023 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 2: got to understand what that represents. Like, y'all know, we 1024 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 2: in a different kind of time. Where black men can 1025 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 2: literally go fly over to London, you understand me, and 1026 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 2: shift the whole culture, Like y'all know how raw that is. 1027 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 2: We don't have a blog culture to be talking about 1028 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: it all day like this is not talked abottom of 1029 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 2: the news all day long, so we don't understand how 1030 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 2: important that is.

That's what they call their national anthem. 1071 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 3: Google it so when we. 1072 00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 4: Switched the national anthem to the Black National way talking 1073 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 4: the hardest and came out with that flat It was 1074 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 4: so disrespectful. 1075 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 3: Bro, that's so crazy. 1076 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was wild.

So they actually had to pay 1094 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,880 Speaker 2: of men's of dollars in their legal fees and everything, 1095 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,879 Speaker 2: but they they and it was overturned, but they didn't 1096 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 2: honor it, right, which is is crazy. But anyway, it 1097 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 2: just represented an extension and I just felt like, you know, 1098 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 2: we was really making the accessors proud coming out there 1099 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 2: doing that, and just felt like we was doing something 1100 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 2: way bigger than ourselves, you know what I'm saying, Like 1101 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 2: we was a representation, you know, for the world to see. 1102 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 2: And that's why I want people to really understand that, like, 1103 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,280 Speaker 2: this is not this is not something that just happens 1104 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 2: in the world. This is not just something that you book. 1105 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 2: People actually got to show up, people actually got to care. Right, 1106 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 2: this is this is this is from years and years 1107 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,279 Speaker 2: worth of work and putting in work every single day. Right. 1108 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 2: This is not just you know, people came to a concert, 1109 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 2: but at the same time, we created something new where 1110 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 2: this can replace, right entertainment because it was it was 1111 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,719 Speaker 2: inspiring and it was entertaining, but it was so valuable 1112 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 2: that you can literally come there and get information real 1113 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 2: quick on a Saturday night and change your life and 1114 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 2: go back home. But if you go to a concert, 1115 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 2: you go listen to the music you turned up, you 1116 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,560 Speaker 2: go back home. Life is the same so now we're 1117 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 2: creating these opportunities where we're injecting value you understand me 1118 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 2: into these households, but people are interacting with it and 1119 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 2: taking a budget that they normally have for entertainment, and 1120 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 2: they're changing their habits because we know for a fact 1121 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 2: the habits of the culture need to change. So for me, 1122 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 2: experiencing that was different than even experiencing you know, invest 1123 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 2: Fest in Atlanta, because invest Fest in Atlanta was like 1124 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,919 Speaker 2: three days, but this was like you know, quick curture shock, right. 1125 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 2: And now I can see people saying that, damn, instead 1126 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 2: of me picking this concert, I'm about to go to 1127 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 2: yel in them concert, I'm about to go to invest Fest, 1128 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 2: you understand. Y'all get to have a good time. I 1129 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 2: get to enjoy myself, I get to learn something right like, 1130 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 2: And if we did that habitually over time for years, 1131 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 2: where would we be at? Because if we take all 1132 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 2: the money that we spend in noough disrespect to the artists, 1133 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 2: because y'all, y'all can always collaborate with us. But if 1134 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 2: we if we look at all the money that we 1135 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 2: spend on you know, entertainment and going to concerts the 1136 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 2: same way, we can go watch a movie, right, shout 1137 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 2: out to Wakanda. But what's the difference If all black 1138 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 2: people in America watch high level conversations versus Wakanda, you 1139 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 2: actually go get some value from the high level conversation. 1140 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 2: You may be inspired by Wakanda, but the value of 1141 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 2: actually getting an education is what we need. It's a 1142 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 2: different level. So we just got to look at like 1143 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 2: we have a one point five trans spending power. So 1144 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 2: it's not about us particularly making more money, but it's 1145 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 2: how our habits are aligned with our spending so that 1146 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 2: we can change it into investing in ourselves and that 1147 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 2: changes the culture overnight, just what we get attention to. 1148 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 4: And the thing about it is that our culture is 1149 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 4: still new. It's in its emphasy stages. Like we don't 1150 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 4: have thousands of years of hundreds of years. We got 1151 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 4: like one hundred and fifty years of course, like hip 1152 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 4: hop just started fifty years ago. This is the fiftieth 1153 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 4: anniversary of hip hop. Like we just so they have 1154 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 4: to say, we have opportunities to create.
