WEBVTT - EP 143: Will out here slapping fools and Cali cutting the Reparation's check 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.840 We like to welcome you all to another episode that 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.080 Gangster Chronicles and the day we have sort of a takeover. 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.560 I have my boy glasses Malone and Peter from the 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:13.239 no Ceilings podcast Peter Boss, and I have my home 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.560 boyfriend of the show, Bick Court from the Holding Court podcast. 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:24.520 What's going on, Fellas? So we've been having this. I 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.000 think the whole country has been having this debate over 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.280 the past few days, and they call it the slap 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:36.159 herd around the world. Will Smith runs up on stage 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.080 during the oscars and slaps the taste out of Chris 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.240 Rock's mouth. I think Chris Rock handled like a gene. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.000 I think he was very professional dog because I don't 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.520 know me and Will would have probably been on stage 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.920 squadding though ain't know, probably to it. Under quote Wheels 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.480 ass absolutely him walking back to that seat like he 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.760 was y'alla saw me on his back firing on him. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.320 After I got over the initial snap shot up being 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.800 just slept and you imagine and my mom shout out 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.680 to Irene, my mom's down, and she gave you doing 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.320 her thing. My mom even called me right and she said, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.560 you know what, that wasn't a slap son. That was 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.679 a female dog slap. I see it's a mom. You 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.959 just said that Chris Rock got big slapt Is that 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.080 what you're saying? So my seven year old mama said 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.840 Chris that Chris Rock got big slap. I don't think 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.360 it was a bit slap, big bitch. Slapp is backhanded, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.479 that's what the back No, anytime, I would have rather 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.520 nigga come up and steal on me dog and slept. Yeah. Yeah, 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.440 it's it's always degrading and you know what I mean, 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.640 emasculating when you win a nigger to slap you. Yeah, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.960 that's that's never cool. Somebody slap you like that. Somebody 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.760 gotta die, Oh yeah, for sure. On the street level. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.880 On the street level, for sure, somebody slap you. You 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:01.680 you gotta take their life to justice. Yeah, as glasses 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.840 put it in proper context, you know, on the street 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:08.920 that's just how that that's how they goes. You can't 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.000 even fade the negative. Walk up and just think he 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.080 can slap you like you might like whooping right in 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.920 real time. But once you get finished whooping you, you 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.000 might have to you know what you might have to 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.920 part You gotta really beat the ship out of like 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.120 a lot I agree with Court because you really got 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.760 to kill that you got unfortunately, you know what I'm saying. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:38.320 But you know, you know you're still there still okay, Um, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.280 But you know, I mean my take on it, bro 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.360 is um. You know, I mean it was a I 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:48.080 guess a ignominious uh moment for the culture, you know 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.040 what I'm saying. But I think I don't think the 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.600 slap was about to slap. To be very honest with you, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.680 you know, I think there's several backstories and undercurrents. I 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.639 think what Will Smith was probably fighting against or slapping 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.680 was the narrative. I think that you know, he's allowed 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.239 Jada has allowed um the public, you know, has introduced 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.720 the public into their bare room, into their affairs, into 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.880 their relationship, and basically made him the poster child of emasculation. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.360 So I think that you know, that slap was really 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.960 about the narrative. I think that's what it was. I 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.960 think Chris Rock was collateral damage. I don't think it 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.760 was about Chris Rock. I don't think it was about 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.880 the joke. I think it was about the fact that 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.600 for the past couple of years Will Smith has been 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.640 the butt of jokes, you know, him and Jada. Um, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.240 he's been the poster child, like I said, for emasculation. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.920 So I think that on that very night and that moment, 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.320 he was fighting against that. He was like, Okay, y'all 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.120 think that I'm a punk, pussy bitch push over and 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.480 y'all just gonna say whatever to me or whatever to 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.760 my wife. And I think in that split second, that's 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.360 what that's what we witness. Now. I don't think it's 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.920 a disreputable moment. I don't think it's something that he 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.560 can't come back from. But you know, I think that 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.720 you know, it was what it was. I don't think 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.520 that we should make it bigger than what it is. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.040 It was too motherfucker's that know each other. Then people 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.280 know each other personally, they go back their families know 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.960 each other. Um. I wouldn't have responded like that, you 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.200 know what I mean. As much as I love my 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.360 my wife and actually I've done worse and behind disrespect them, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.159 my old lady. But in that in that moment, See, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.520 I had an O G tail me years ago. You 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.520 always offer a dude the way out, you know what 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.640 I'm saying, So you give him a little space to 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.720 try to make it right. Walking back before you just 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.359 you know what I'm saying, just crash out. But I 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.480 probably would have pulled him to the side and had 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.200 a conversation with him and you know, and and got 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.640 some understanding and some straighten and now if he didn't apologize, 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.760 you know, adequately, with a heart of contrition, if he 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.080 didn't you know, if he wasn't standing where I needed 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.720 him to stand, then at that point it would have 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.520 it would have did what it was gonna do, you 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.800 know what I mean. But I don't think the slap 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.840 was about the joke. I don't think it was about 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.679 Chris Rock. I think he was he was fighting that narrative. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.960 I agree with you because I was just telling Glasses 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.240 before we got on this podcast. I was telling him, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.080 I think that it's about it's a culmination of events 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.600 that take your place, like you said, over the last 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.960 few years, you know, and I think you know him 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.760 and Jada's bedroom antics that has been made publicly. You know, 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.479 obviously they are in some kind of relationship. They probably 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.400 possibly have opened or swinging relationship or whatever it is 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.560 they choose to do in their bid room and their business. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.760 But you have to know, when you were a public 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.400 figure like that dog. You can expect people to have 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.880 their opinion. You open yourself up. It's kind of you know, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.359 like them millions and billions of dollars that Will Smith 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.960 is making. They all come with a cost, you know. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.920 Whenever you're making money like that and you give your 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.680 life to the public, it comes with a cost. We 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.000 have to expect some blowback on stuff. And I think 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.440 that Will Smith has always been kind of looked at. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:03.280 It's the nice guy, right, He probably said, you know what, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.200 I'm tired of people looking at me like a little 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.039 bit his motherfucker's Because that's not the first time Will 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.760 Smith on stone on somebody in public. He popped some 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.080 little white dude over in Europe at an interview. Some 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.479 dude came prying up and kissed him. And I saw that. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.520 That's a little different though, o G. I mean, because 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.560 dude tried to kiss him. It was a little like 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.719 a little tap. It wasn't like how he did with 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.760 with Chris Rock, you know. But and he was probably 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.960 well within his right to do that because dude invaded 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.599 his personal space and tried to kiss him, you know 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.559 what I mean. But I think that But to your point, 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.440 what you were saying sorry, I didn't mean to cut 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.120 you off, but you're absolutely right. I think that Will 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.040 Smith has always been you know, so so obsequious with 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.440 with Hollywood and with you know, the establishment. He's always 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.680 kind of been fonding for their approval, you know what 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.640 I'm saying. And I think he set the standard of 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.800 being the squeaky clean, nice guy, clean cut guy, always smiling, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.640 you know, always kind of dancing. But you know, Will 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.680 still a man, He's still a human being. He's not infallible. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.320 So that's the guy, and that's the guy that's the 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.359 most dangerous the practice. The most dangerous dude was the 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.240 guy on the edge, because I think Chris Rock took 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.880 a slap for everybody that has done Will Smith. That 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.640 het like distrospected him in the kind of way. I 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.720 think that was his moment like I'm not putting up 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.720 with this ship no more, and I'm gonna slap the 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.400 shout of a motherfucker. Because if you saw the initial 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.480 response to that, like when the camera pianto him, he 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.040 was laughing along with everybody else. But then once I 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.040 saw his wife kind of make that look like this, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.040 I said, it's about to go down now, wife, has 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.520 let it be known that, hey, this dude disrespecting me, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.320 are you gonna do something about it? Because she's the 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.320 main one that has taken every chance. It seems like 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.600 every opportunity that she has to speak about their relationship, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.840 she makes Well look count like he's the weaker vessel 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.800 in the relationship. I mean he should have he should 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.239 have been put his foot down or put his foot 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.320 in her ass. I don't you know whichever one you 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.120 want to go with. But you know, Jada is definitely 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.120 the precipitating factor for a lot of this BS. I mean, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.400 would have left when you would a level of transparent parency. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.880 You have to understand, you open yourself up to a 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.160 bunch of bullshit, you know, and the comments social media, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.040 you know, you have to think a lot of the 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.720 commentary with them, you know, for the past couple of 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.160 years have become very you know, like vitriol, you know 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.880 what I'm saying, acrimonious and hateful, you know, and people 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.000 are still human, you know what I mean at the 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.640 end of the day. So and then you know, we 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.480 all gotta deal with and modulate all them emotions about Tupac, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.520 you know, he you know, she low key she didn't 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.360 already went on red table talks talking about he ain't 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.000 bangering her writer or something to that effect. Then you know, 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.920 you know that she she was in love with Tupac 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.559 and I think we all always wanted to be a badass, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.120 but he couldn't be that, or maybe I don't know. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.080 You know what I'm saying. Well, you think about the 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.400 whole premise of the Fresh Prince of Beller. He talks 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.800 about it. He got his ass both and his mom's 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.480 shipping out of Philly up in a little you know, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.280 Roger Field or whatever. So like Will Smith, that's this 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.360 moment that comes out and saying I would no longer 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:12.040 be the world's bitch. But you know what, to think 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.480 about it, you don't get no brownie points for slapping 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.320 Chris Rock. Chris Rock is almost think to your old man, 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.880 and he don't want no smoke because to think about it, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.120 if it was me up there, if it was Glasses 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.280 up there, if it was you know, the Rock, hell, 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.480 if it was Cat Williams up there, I doubt he 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.959 would have you know, swung on Cat and somebody who 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.600 you know gonna turn up and come back. Because you 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.520 gotta think of how adually he turned around and walked away. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.560 He knew it wasn't nothing coming. I don't know, I 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.080 think he would have did it to anybody, you think so. Yeah. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.360 But it's also like, I'm a huge fan of Chris Rock. 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.320 Chris Rock is an awesome though huge fan of Will 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:53.120 Smith says he was a fresh prince. But it's one 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.240 thing to make a joke right like mine. This has 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.200 kind of been a running thing, right since the first Oscars, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.040 would Chris Rock where he had that a lot of 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:05.480 choice things to say about Jada and Will boycotting the Oscar, 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.640 you know, a lot of them, the people from the 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.480 culture was boycotting Oscars because obviously they felt they were 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:15.040 mistreating black people. And he had a lot of choice 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.400 things to say. And I don't know if those things 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.120 were every you know result. So it's one thing that 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.760 said when somebody not in the audience, it's another thing 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.880 to say it. You know, you joke about my wife 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.200 in a really sensitive place in front of her, you 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.280 feel me. And even the laugh you're talking about it 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.000 was a condescending laugh, like you know what I mean, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.240 Like I'm a laugh but you know what I mean. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.320 It wasn't a laugh like, oh, I thought this was funny. 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.199 More or less, I'm just holding faced. So I think, Um, 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.320 I think we're starting to come into a world where 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.600 we really start to believe that people should not be 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.000 held accountable for what they say. Like, and that's my issue. 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.760 Like Chris Rock is a comedian, right, he's all time 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.800 great top five guy, especially my error growing up. Um, 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.920 But also I think most comedians know you could be 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.760 held accountable for what you say. And usually comedians and 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.520 R and B singers are usually the most feisty people, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.200 you mean, because they're used to being confronted about the 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.920 stuff they said. So for Chris to make that joke 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.880 about that man while he's sitting in the front to 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.640 make it about his wife while they're sitting in the 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.440 front row, you know, you gotta believe in your heart 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.200 it's only so many jokes you could tell about any 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.000 man and their wife. And me, for you joke about 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.040 my wife, we're gonna have a problem. So it's like, 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.040 if you joked about his wife, it just went the 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.440 wrong way. And I think Chris Rock kind of as 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.560 much as people don't believe this, I think Chris Rock 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.040 knew he was wrong, but then let's let me touch 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.640 on this a little bit too glasses. I mean, now 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.080 we have to you know, Chris Rock just recently came 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.520 out and he divulged that he's on the spectrum he 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.160 has aspergers. So you know Chris Rock, So with that 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.800 meaning that sometimes Chris Rock, you know, he struggles with 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.240 social cues. Sometimes he can't read the room against on 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.880 that bro because we're in a not in the society. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.160 We're in a place to where everybody has an excuse 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:17.240 for their actions. Oh, I have as Burgers. He's this, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.000 he's that, he has this kind of Steinfeld has aspergers. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.199 There's not a comedy ever made a million dollars it 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.920 doesn't have a diagnosabal psychician. Let me land on my point. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.000 Let me land on my point, because I'm gonna say something. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.839 Right with that being said, I think Chris Rock was 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.840 doing his job of being a comedian. We all know, 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.760 we all love comedy, right, you know, Peter is a 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.520 comedian itself. You prow up on stage, you may have 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.360 a you may if I sit in the front row 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.959 with my wife, I gotta kind of almost expect this 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.120 dude to say something crazy. You just hope he don't 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.560 go to for all the line, right, but this is 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.520 my thing, man us as black man. I was just 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.880 speaking on you know, shut Off a Black Effect, the 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.080 network that we owned, you know, Glass Shout the Dolly 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.280 and those guys. They had an opportunity last week to 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.240 speak to a room for the people of extinct people 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.840 in the podcast the World at Um Pop movement. They're 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.560 just now letting us start to speak and stuff like that. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.840 You know, I'm talking about black men, black people in general. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.040 We're starting to finally get our place in this thing, 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.920 right with the oscars. It's been a long time coming, man, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.679 that our artists are actors, actresses gettnowledged for the great 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.800 works that they were doing because twenty years ago they 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.199 weren't getting the knowledge. Shell ten years ago they won. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.560 It took us a long road to get to the 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.480 where we're at, man, and I just wish that he 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.520 would have handled it in a different way, because you 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.880 know what they say in their mind. I'm gonna tell you, Peter, 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.200 I know you white, so you probably privy to those 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.719 white secret discussions that you have to the side, you 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.120 know what I mean. Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.640 conversation was this, like damn I Will Smith came at right. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.320 Just imagine if we had fifty center Snoop Dogg here. 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.120 You follow what I'm saying. Nobody at the OSCARS is 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.480 saying wouldn't have handled it like that. That's what I'm saying. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.160 But listen, though, listen, and my thing is this. I'm 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.440 glad Will Smith didn't go to jail for this. I'm 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.040 glad Chris Rock didn't press charges. But court, please believe 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.160 had that been myself, glasses or you walk up on 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.880 stage and slept, then the l APD would have drugged 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.560 you out of there. They wouldn't have game a damn 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.120 about you being who you were. If he was nominated 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.480 you that got drug out and be able to press 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.280 charges on your Chris Rock would have declined to press charges. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.800 Guess what were we're picking up this case? Court is 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.760 going to jail. Yeah, we beat We be at the 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.280 County at Wayside right now with no bond. But but 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.880 but I think, honestly, I think I think our community 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.760 is being a little bit more ridiculous than like even 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.560 when I see it on the news and the wife 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.560 was talking about it, they understand like Chris Rock was 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.400 doing his job as a comedian and Will Smith was 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.240 doing his job as a husband and me again sometimes 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.360 and again at times like right, the life we live 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.400 on this street life right is a bit primitive. It's 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:13.640 pretty basic. It's basic, basic rules. So if you do 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.360 something to me in front of everybody, I gotta do 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.600 it to you in front of everybody, so you understand 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.360 because you didn't make the joke in private and private, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.160 maybe I'll let it go. I'm like, man, hey, don't 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.560 get at my wife like that. You have made this joke. 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.560 You didn't turn my wife into a joke in front 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.000 of all these people. I'm gonna slap the ship out 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.320 to you now. I'm not seeing me. Y'all have stolen him, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.920 so I probably would have win jail because I'm not 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.200 slapping on another grown man. I'm gonna fire ship up 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.800 for me. But again, it's one of those things where 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.920 I don't care which stage we have. And we gotta 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.040 stop talking about them too, dude, like they just two 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.000 black people. These is more time, more time, more time, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.520 million dollar men and me. They even though they're black, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:57.480 they is in another class of ship going up what 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.000 we think. I think they're almost be in their status. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.600 I mean, I don't. I'm talking about actual cash, fun worth. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.640 I'm talking about they got money. So my point is 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.120 if no, what I don't get is I hear a 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:10.960 lot of men like, oh, she looked at him and 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.120 he reacted. If you can't understand why a man would 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.000 defend his wife's honor, Like we are in a really 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.080 different place in the world, Like you know what I mean, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.760 Like if you thought for two seconds, feel me, Like 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.880 if we go to a comedy show, right, and you 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.040 gotta again, you gotta assess the risk. Right, if you 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.560 joke about certain people, you know what I mean, you 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.480 gotta assess that they might not think the joke is funny. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.560 And there is no vessel, whether hip hop or comedy 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.000 or nowhere, where you can just say what you want 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.680 to say and not be held accountable for it. It's 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.320 just not a realistic aspect. It's true, you exactly right. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.880 We live in a society to where everyone wants these 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.240 uh liberties and protections on certain stuff. I look at it, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.320 like we all know my son is an athlete, right, 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.159 my son being a high profile After this whole life, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.840 I've had to stand by a look at certain reporters 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.280 say stuff, certain reporters, you know what, um, certain opinions 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.159 or whatever like that. And my thing is this, I 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.280 don't mind someone stating an opinion or doing that, but 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.040 when it becomes personal to where it feels like it's 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.520 a personal attack on a kid or whoever it is, 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.840 nobody has that right to do that. And I'm gonna 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.560 tell you this, This may make this may force some 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.600 people to start thinking before they left, was ever in 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.359 their brain come out their mouth? They may have to 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.280 start existing this stuff and they are like, well, you 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.760 know what if I say this, man, I might look 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.439 around and get slept and then again. But then again, 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.520 O G. You have to figure man, all of that 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.239 is subjective to you know what I'm saying, Like, we 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.680 can't walk on eggshells. We can't expect comedians to walk 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.600 on eggshells because what's offensive to one person may not 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.680 be offensive to the other, you know what I mean. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.480 So I think that's that's very personal, that it is subjective, 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.440 so and even but but but even at that point, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.520 right court, because it's like, that's why we call comedians courageous. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.440 You know, That's why Dave Chappelle's last three for a podcast, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.560 they've used the term brave and courageous because we understand 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.560 you could be held accountable. Hell, you can't post what 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.480 you want on Instagram no more, and that's your platform 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:29.800 that you built on your own. Again, like the concept 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:34.119 of freedom of speech means you can't be legally and 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.639 that's not real right because we know about conspiracy. You 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.800 can say anything and they be like, well, you said it, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.399 so you're gonna prisit for just saying this. So even 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.119 that concept freedom of speech means you can't be what 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.720 the theory of it is, you can't be legally processful. 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.679 You can't legally be prosecuted for what you said. But 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.520 if you offend another human being, you know you may 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.800 have to be held accountable. Somebody may come to me 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.320 and be like, hey, what does that mean? Or like 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.320 in christians suation, I still love Chris and I still 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.119 love will feel me. I still look up to them 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.919 brothers and and and all the entertainment they provided their brilliousness. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.000 But you know, both of them did their job. That's 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.359 just how it goes sometimes. And as men, they could 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.720 come together at at at some expensive restaurant and satturday differences. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.520 Maybe they can go in the backyard and line it 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.280 up and they'll figure it out. But exactly for us 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.520 to be as a society looking crazy because a man 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:32.800 defended his wife's honor, we are in a different motherfucking time. 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.560 That man ended his wife's honor. This nigger insulted his 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:40.600 wife multiple times at the Oscars, multiple times a thousand jokes. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.760 It's sometimes the ship may not be funny. I might 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.720 not be. Yeah, it can go over board. And see 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.119 how long you think we've known each other, bro, how 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:56.800 many years you think you know? If it's a joke, dog, 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.240 I can take that. But when you get the joke 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.000 in about maybe a condition that my wife may have 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.280 or something like that, all I know is my wife's 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.000 feelings are hurt. At that point, I am damn should 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.240 go react if the person says something that it hurts 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.560 my wife. I think everybody on this panel was gonna 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.520 stand up and probably do the same thing that that 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.680 Chris Rock deal. We may not do that that time, 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.560 but I would have definitely had a conversation with Chris, 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.520 especially because I know they got history. Yeah they have, 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.000 they have a long history. Nothing and and and that's 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.960 my point, like, what if nobody knows the conversations they've 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.600 been having over the time since the last Oscars. You 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.240 feel me when all the coach was boycatting Oscars and 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.920 Chris was there, you feel me that again the depth 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.240
