00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: A media big homie. What the lick read the first

00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: tapping Tap Tap tapping A twenty twenty six I am

00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: your host, which you should know by now. Your boy

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: is propaganda in the rap news. I just dropped a

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: single called Gash You Up. This record is ultimately about

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: manhood because, as you know and has been covered by

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: many a Cool Zone shows men are not okay. So

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: oh Daddy, go live incedan Rio. This is the twenty

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty six Predictions episode. Now a couple of caveats. As

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the year of our Lord twenty twenty six,

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the lesson we should have learned, probably twelve years ago

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: was don't make predictions in the era of Chirrump, and

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: I have definitely learned that lesson. But just just for funsies,

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: let me let me, let me, let me see what

15
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: the what the what what the tea leaves is talking about?

16
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: You know you understand talking about with the what the

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: Chicken Bones is doing. I'm I'm gonna work them roots

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: to see what's going on. You feel me, I'm gonna

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: go talk to the Lord, you know, put my head

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: in some stones, and I'm just I'm just mixing all

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff right now. Anyway, here we go. What

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: the lick read twenty twenty six predictions tap in with me.

23
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's start off with some pop culture stuff. Now,

24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm for show gonna rapid fire this joint because this

25
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: is a tap in and you know it ain't supposed

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: to be but ten twelve minutes long, So we're gonna

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: rapid fire them. First off, pop culture stuff. I think

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Dechi gonna get her get back now. And her tour

29
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: didn't do well because I think they just kind of

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: put her out there too early. Now she has been

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: putting in work, but all this weird internet stuff about

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: her being an industry plant, like, y'all remember what it is?

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: So what's up every black boy nees? Is it a

34
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: love that's doci? That was just her in her first album.

35
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: Then that didn't work out. She got picked up by

36
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Top Dog immediately took off because top Dog knows how

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: to launch out launch an artists. But the thing is, like,

38
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: you gotta play the dive bars to be able to

39
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: do the tours. You can't shoot all the way up.

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Just because you played these festivals don't mean you could

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: sell rooms. But I think she gonna get her get back.

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: She gonna put out some new music and it's gonna

43
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna show that like she really got that talent.

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: I think it's also in put out album news. I

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: think we're gonna finally get the fall off from Cole.

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: I think J Cole's album is gonna be incredible. I

47
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: think he just definitely took some time to let the

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: whole dust settled with Kendrick and Drake. I think he

49
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna give us. I think he's gonna come out spitting. Uh.

50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: It's just he's gonna have to kill all that that

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: tough guy talk because he's not that dude, and he

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: showed us he wasn't now. I think. Also, who gonna

53
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: put out an album is Nicki Minaj, and it is

54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: going to flop. I think she this album is not

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna do good. I think the barbs are gonna love her,

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: but that's about it. That album is going to flop

57
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: because she don'et she tried to cash in her cultural coin,

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: lied too early with the wrong group of people. She

59
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,279
Speaker 1: gonna learn what cash Pat Tail learned, which is like, uh,

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: you're just a nigga to them. Anyway, moving into politics,

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: I think the Dems are gonna fracture even worse right

62
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: and the Centrists leftists are. The Centrists are finna act

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: like they kind of been down with some of the

64
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: leftist stuff the whole time, especially as Zoram Mom Donnie

65
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: start winning some stuff. When his stuff start working, they

66
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna be like, that's what we was trying to say. Uh.

67
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: I think they gonna be beating down his door to

68
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: try to figure out how to get elected without saying

69
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: the stuff he be saying, and it is just gonna

70
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: make them look even that much most silly. My biggest prediction, however,

71
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 1: I didn't get to get out before it happened, which

72
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: was we was finishing the army to Venezuela. So we

73
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: go go ahead and let that one slide. Uh. Midterms

74
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: are happening this year. I think they gonna swing pretty

75
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: hard blue. I think Trump gonna mess around and announce

76
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: a third term, but I think he gonna do that

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: just to rile everybody up. I actually think he's going

78
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: to have a public health scare where some gonna go

79
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: so bad with him. I think, uh, and he ain't

80
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna admit it, but it's gonna be so obvious. But

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: he gonna be like it's fake news, even though we

82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: saw you collapse somehow. I think that's gonna happen because

83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Brea falling Asleep, it dog on television, boy Boy falling Asleep.

84
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to set up jd Vance

85
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: as next to Snapnext, and he gonna go up against

86
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: our very own Gavin Newsom just gonna be the Snoozes

87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: of Snoozefest with these slicked, black haired mirror images of

88
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: each other. Oh Man, think they're gonna try to set

89
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: themselves up as the new generation. But you gotta remember

90
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Gavin still a centrist. Now that being said, Gavin been

91
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: working hard on some pretty progressive programs out here in

92
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to make sure like I'm still with y'all,

93
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm still cool, I'm still cool. I don't know, though,

94
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: I think Margie Taylor Green ain't done. I think she's

95
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna pop her head in there somewhere. She's finna run

96
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: for something. I don't know what that is. I think

97
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: Pete had ass Hecksath gonna lose his job at some point.

98
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: I think that's happening this year. They definitely fire and

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Cash pat Tell like that. Nigga Finna lose his job.

100
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: You about to lose your job. You were about to

101
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: lose your job, right. I think the ice stuff gonna backfire.

102
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: I think Trump gonna take credits for repealing the tariffs.

103
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: I think he gonna repeal them tariffs and then gonna

104
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: front like it was his idea the whole time and

105
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: that he got what he wanted. Oh man, I think

106
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: RFK gonna have some issues because these kids finna get

107
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: really sick. I heard whooping cough is back my nigga

108
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: woofing cough. I think that's happening this year. I think

109
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: China fin a whoop our ass in tech. I really

110
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: think it's gonna come so clear that we backed the

111
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: wrong horse when it came to the future. We out

112
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: here holding on to dead dinosaurs. These people is in

113
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: space now. You know how? I know mainly by that

114
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: robot episode they made, which kind of proved to us

115
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: that we have never left the eighties weird science where

116
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: even when we get to make robots, we make them

117
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of try to look like hot girls. Because that

118
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Chinese robot was sauntering boy and was dragging a wagon.

119
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: That was absurd. That thing looked so real that They

120
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: had to have people take the back off so you

121
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: could see the wires, which is so hilarious to me

122
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: that meanwhile, Russia's who ain't finished off the war. That's

123
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: the other thing I'm finna say. He not the that

124
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: war ain't finna stop. Neither is the one in Israel. Nigga,

125
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the war's not stopping, okay, But that Russia robot still

126
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: walked like an eighty year old dude that got a

127
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: doodo and then fell over. I hope y'all saw that

128
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: last year. That was one of the funniest. I think

129
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: they covered it on the Daily Zeitgeist. That was one

130
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: of the funniest videos that happened all last year. All

131
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: that to say, China, Finn of clean our Clock on Tech,

132
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: we gonna step keep trying to hold on to the

133
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: fact that we make the best chips. But my nigga,

134
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: the information is out there. All you got to do

135
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: is figure it out. And who you think gonna figure

136
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: it out? Boy boy boy China. Obviously, the Monroe doctrine

137
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: is in full effect right now. I don't know what

138
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: country is next, but I can imagine the Greenland play

139
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: is still not off the table. I could totally see

140
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: Trump still trying to swoop back for that, because if

141
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: we're still talking about that good, good oil, then your

142
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: boy ain't playing around about bagging that oil. We'll find

143
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: out next month. But I think that turning point USA

144
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl thing is finna fly up, and finally, I

145
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: think Elon is gonna crash out. I don't know what

146
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: that crash out gonna be, but I am positive that

147
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: man finna crash out. I think his ego too big

148
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: to just fall off into the sunset and just sleep

149
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: in a bag of money. He gonna crash out, and

150
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited about how it's gonna be. I

151
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know what that crash out gonna be, but I

152
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get a full Elon Musk crash out because,

153
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: like I said, in the beginning of last year, you know,

154
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: he got hands, Eli got hands, So like I think

155
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: he's been do you know, Maga Witch is falling apart,

156
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: you know, and fracturing into the way that the Mongolian

157
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Empire fell apart when gangis con passed away. You know

158
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, It just breaks up into little fractions.

159
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: That's definitely happening right now. But I think Elon ain't

160
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna roll away into the sunset. Now. I am going

161
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: to save this and rerun this in December. Now again,

162
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: we know you feel me like this is just me

163
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: trying to read the lick. But in the air we

164
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: live in, man, you never know anyway. On a personal note,

165
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: at the beginning of twenty twenty five, I wrote this

166
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: thing that I heard on a podcast also on the

167
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: back of my studio, and this has been kind of

168
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: like the personal approach I've had in my personal life,

169
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: and I think I want to try to bring it

170
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: in the Hood Politics this year says you can be

171
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120

172
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,200

174
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the people that Babylon affects,

175
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I just want to be the safe harbor. I do

176
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: not want to be your rage, bab I do not

177
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: want to be the show that fuels all of your anger.
