So here's the thing about fifty. Okay,

0:04

we're a couple of weeks outside of the super Bowl. I'm

0:06

pretty sure by the time this episode,

0:08

the memes have kind of slowed down about

0:10

fifty hanging upside down at the super

0:13

Bowl, and we've

0:16

we're in a consensus that this

0:18

was between this and Prince

0:20

were the two greatest super Bowl

0:22

performances of oh

0:25

time. Uh,

0:28

anyway to think about this? Okay, So get

0:30

Richard diet Trying debuted

0:32

at number one in

0:34

the Billboard. To understand, it sold eight seventy

0:37

two thousand copies in the

0:39

first week, and in its second week it's sold

0:41

an additional eighty

0:43

two thousand copies. So it's like it was the best

0:46

selling album of two thousand three and

0:48

sold twelve million copies

0:50

worldwide. So did

0:54

his legendary status is solidified.

0:57

He's also one of

0:59

the funny ist humans in

1:02

rap music. He's there's

1:04

no problem being a troll. He loves memes,

1:07

he's hilarious. And I'm

1:09

saying that I'm recording this to day after the super

1:11

Bowl, and I'm positive as these him

1:14

hanging upside that it's the combo of him hanging

1:16

upside down and

1:18

being a surprise guest and looking

1:21

like he put on a few paths like it just was like, you

1:23

don't look we see you all the time. Why you

1:25

look so plump, Like you don't look that plump when

1:27

you was right side up. And so anyway,

1:30

his his legendary status is solidified.

1:33

It was already that he and if y'all

1:35

following me on Twitter, I absolutely predicted

1:37

that he was gonna be the surprise guest. I also thought

1:39

Warring You was coming, but you know, it

1:41

is what it is. The point is uh

1:47

oh. Also, I just remember Warring

1:49

You had already performed earlier

1:51

for he performed

1:53

on m Okay weekend.

1:56

Anyway, besides the point, H

2:01

fifty probably is totally

2:03

okay with the upside down memes

2:06

because he's and I don't know, because again

2:08

you're hearing this in the future. I might be wrong. I

2:10

may have to eat my words, but I'm pretty sure he's

2:13

funny, like fifty laughs at himself.

2:15

And you gotta understand, black culture we nothing

2:18

we make fun of. If no one is safe.

2:21

I think I've said this multiple times.

2:24

No one is safe. Anyone

2:26

can get it, like anyone can crack

2:28

jogs hell y'all remember

2:30

those means of snoop going around with

2:33

him when his hair wrapped, his dreads wrapped up,

2:35

talking about he looked like somebody auntie, like

2:37

dope, no one's safe, Like we just we

2:41

laugh. We know it's safe. Anyway.

2:45

I bring up fifty because I

2:48

want to talk about that. Actually,

2:51

that debut album that Give Rich or Die Trying.

2:53

It was a a ton

2:55

of interludes on

2:58

that record,

3:01

back when interludes were a thing, and

3:04

they were skits where he was making

3:07

fun of jah Rule, like when

3:09

I tell you he gotta send it like his first album,

3:12

he's it's like he

3:14

coming at Jaw like he

3:16

would be. He would be playing a song and you'd hear

3:18

him go where would I be with all? Yo? Like

3:22

he was like, that's me,

3:25

I'm singing with myself. So it was like job

3:27

Rule featuring jaw Rule. It

3:29

was because jaw was featuring singing

3:31

choruses on everybody's records

3:34

at that time. Now,

3:37

y'all might be like, jah Rule

3:40

is that the dude from five Fest? So

3:43

he didn't meet himself over five Fest.

3:45

But trust me, there was

3:47

a time the

3:50

Ja and Murder ec were the

3:52

hottest things out and

3:54

then g Unit at fifty

3:57

cent came for it. Just

4:02

all these skids were just coming at Job, and it

4:04

was like at that point we couldn't take Job serious

4:08

the way that Fifthy was getting at him. Just

4:10

be like, who would I be with all? Yo? Are

4:13

you always singing these courses? And you shouted to

4:15

say and it was God

4:17

to do it, God to do with it

4:20

just came at Job. But

4:22

the part that really blew my mind was

4:25

fifty did the same thing. He sang

4:28

raspy on the courses and was

4:30

featured on everything. Use

4:33

the window shop, man

4:36

that you came by, nigger,

4:38

use the window shop. How

4:40

about I got the magic stick

4:43

I want? I can

4:45

hear time I hit the baddest

4:47

chick you. He did the same thing. It

4:50

was almost like fifty

4:53

came at Job because he was

4:55

planning on replacing Job. Now

4:58

fast forward to the Super Bowl in guess

5:02

who was hanging upside down? And guess

5:04

who is a meme about

5:06

a failed doomed

5:08

to fail festival? Mm

5:11

hmmm, hood politics.

5:13

Let's go, what's

5:38

up y'all? Uh again?

5:41

This is a day after the Super Bowl. I'm recording this so I'm

5:43

still on the Los Angeles High like I feel like

5:45

I could walk on water. I feel like every crip in the

5:47

in the country is like after

5:49

seeing Snoop stand up there throwing up oh in

5:51

the Thamsburg. I'm I know that y'all

5:54

have probably gone through all this already by

5:56

the time that you hear this, But U

5:59

man, when they the tams Burger signed up there,

6:01

you know, the whole room where we are screamed. I know that

6:03

don't mean nothing to y'all, Like, but if you're

6:05

not from here, don't mean nothing to you. But that

6:07

moment, Dog, that TAM's Burger's moment,

6:10

it's a it's a burger joining confidence anyway,

6:12

It's like it's

6:14

just greasy burger. You know. Uh,

6:16

there's a few spots like that Troy's Golden

6:20

Ox. You know if if you're familiar with my music

6:22

that's from milet that the Golden Ox,

6:25

you know. Anyway, I'm

6:27

still on a high about that. But this is all besides

6:29

the point I can't

6:31

stress to you. I

6:33

don't know how to like take

6:36

y'all back to like the time when

6:42

Nelly had Niga

6:44

is putting band aids on their cheeks for

6:48

cuts. They didn't have foods

6:50

are walking around here pretending like they had St.

6:53

Louis accents going and what's up on her? Very

6:55

dirty? Like. I

6:59

know that this look is gonna come back one day,

7:01

because that's how that's how things are.

7:04

I'm telling y'all, I I

7:06

don't think that was a good season in fashion

7:09

that you look. It might be nostalgic,

7:12

but I thought we look

7:14

ridiculous like during this time. So

7:18

this is post

7:20

Tupac preg unit,

7:24

you know, this era,

7:28

post Biggie. This era meant

7:31

that there was somewhat of a vacuum,

7:34

you know, and deaf Jam kind of feeled this. So DMX

7:38

came in and filled this this hole

7:40

and he was basically the top

7:42

of the world at the time. And

7:45

then this

7:49

other New York brother that what

7:52

tie his bandanna like Tupac. You

7:55

know, he was nice and ripped up, look, real

7:57

real thug, you

8:00

know, who was obviously inspired

8:02

by Pope like everybody else was, but

8:05

he was a New Yorker. He

8:07

hooked I was doing that earth Gotti and they started

8:09

this whole thing called Murder Inc. And

8:13

he had that natural rask Some people

8:15

just have that natural raspy voice, and

8:17

it just kind of looked like he was like a

8:20

prettier d MX. That's kind of the way

8:22

he seemed at first, right,

8:25

a DMX that will that is willing

8:27

to do pop music. Because

8:29

then Rough Riders, you

8:32

know, they had some hits like John

8:34

Are you know DMX asked why he's

8:36

why we treasure him the way that we do. He

8:39

had some hits, but he was rough.

8:42

He was also a member of probably one of the greatest

8:44

like tours ever.

8:47

It was d m X jay

8:49

z In Wu Tang, who's

8:52

one of the greatest. It was the first, like one

8:54

of the first like hip hop international

8:57

tool. Anyway, the point is d

8:59

m X meant something in us and then job come in is

9:01

ballhead kind of caramely

9:04

New Yorker. That

9:06

was like visually

9:09

harkening back to pack and

9:12

they the machine just got behind

9:15

him and he had hits

9:17

after hits after hits. This girl Ashanti,

9:19

you know, like this is I mean, this is all heads stuff

9:22

Like this is like when I say early

9:24

two thousands, that's this is exactly what we're

9:26

talking about this moment thousand,

9:28

two thousand, one, two thousand two, like Air

9:30

Force ones times and

9:33

yeah, again, I can't

9:35

stress how absurd we looked in our

9:37

styles, but Job was everywhere

9:41

key and since Fifty didn't

9:43

feel him, Eminem didn't feel

9:45

him, and there was there's some Eminem. This

9:48

is like there's parts

9:50

of them and Fifty and all their careers. They mix

9:52

tape worlds that like are hilarious

9:55

because they just be going at like m took out everybody's

9:58

name ben Zino and I know you don't know who that is

10:00

because you're not into what I'm into,

10:03

and partically because him kind

10:05

of ended him. There's this song

10:08

if you go back and let listen, I'm y'all google

10:10

Google the song Bully by Eminem.

10:13

He's talking about IRV Gotti and Murder Inc And Job

10:16

rule because they had a thing, right. The

10:18

point is Job was

10:21

ginormous, But there was something

10:23

about Fifty that everybody

10:25

knew, oh man, that

10:28

he had that like that

10:30

Jamaica Queen's but with the

10:32

Harlem kind of like you know, Mace

10:35

was the first dude to rap like he was sleeping, you

10:37

know, even just make system and said,

10:40

so Fifty kind of harkened back to

10:42

that sleepy kind of like him.

10:44

But he's you know, he's Jamaica Queen's drug

10:47

dealer. You know what I'm saying, and he's a giant,

10:49

like he was super yoked. He was also

10:52

running around here with his shirt off, so down

10:54

to dude pop music. But when you connect with Dre,

10:57

because you know, you gotta remember, like this

10:59

rival between the East Coast and the West Coast

11:01

about landing superstars, it wasn't as

11:03

like it wasn't a I mean, there was moments

11:05

where it was like serious beef, but

11:08

when you was making money, you know what I'm saying,

11:10

us like, it's more like a rivalry, you know what I'm saying.

11:13

So like, and for Fifty

11:15

to come to Dre, you got

11:17

this East Coast and Niget, you know what I'm saying, on this

11:19

West Coast going aftermath, going shady

11:21

aftermath is just again just a

11:24

testament to to Dre. But too

11:27

in the club, the it

11:29

was like Fifty already had

11:32

with the Green Lantern mixtapes. This is DJ Green

11:34

Lantern. I'm gonna really getting the weeds here. But I'm trying

11:36

to make a point with y'all, is that the

11:38

buzz around Fifty was

11:41

it was already super

11:44

high before Dre and them even

11:46

messed with him, Like he was already

11:48

like he already had New York streets

11:50

on lock like he was. We were already

11:52

buzzing about him. You know what I'm saying. It was just this

11:55

hungry shooter um and you

11:57

just knew, like, oh, this fool Heath gonna

11:59

be a star. Then you put that Dre sauce

12:02

on him, that that co sign from

12:04

Dr Dre out of here. The

12:07

run Fifty made or

12:09

the the G Unit runs starting would get Richard

12:11

dry die trying and you know Valentine's

12:14

Day massacre and just all like even

12:16

down to like him making a bet. This might be

12:18

legendary for some of y'all. He made a bet with Kanye

12:21

that when he dropped his album I think

12:23

January was dropping graduation, that they were bet

12:25

to like who would do better in the first

12:27

week and Kanye one, which

12:30

in some way it was like a torch passing and

12:32

the other ways was just like Fifty was like, I don't

12:34

care we sold records, Like you

12:36

know what I'm saying, Like it don't matter, it's our third rd as what

12:38

I was trying to do, because again, fifty

12:41

just smart. You know, fifty owned Vitamin Water. I don't

12:43

know if you noticed, but like either way,

12:46

When fifty came in, it

12:48

was like, if I'm gonna take top seed,

12:50

if my money, if I'm gonna be the biggest bully on the

12:52

block, that somebody gotta take out. I'm not taking

12:55

out d m X. He's already legendary,

12:58

and fifty like, I don't really do that. Everybody

13:01

else on my team. M's on my team.

13:03

You know. The Dre and Eminem

13:06

went fifty fifty on fifty. That's a line

13:08

in one of them sawing I'm telling you to google. They went

13:11

on fifty, so shady aftermath into

13:14

g UNIT records like this was, and

13:16

then you know g Unit, you know, and then game

13:18

came in and the game you get

13:20

to Kendrick and the top dog entertainment gets

13:22

us to now. But and knowing your lineage,

13:25

like the choice was like, Okay,

13:27

who do I take out? If

13:29

I'm gonna if I'm gonna be on the top, I gotta

13:31

take out somebody who's on top of y'all.

13:34

Rule fifty was like he corny,

13:36

I'm gonna take him out. He corny, And

13:38

at least that's the way he presented. And

13:41

I mean, I mean,

13:43

in my opinion out here on the West, I'm like, yeah,

13:46

Joab was carny to me, like, I mean, I

13:48

can't take away from his hits, but it wasn't. I

13:51

wasn't into that, you know what I'm saying, especially because

13:53

he just like looked like he was just trying

13:55

to be popped to me, you know what I'm saying. So I was saying, I'm

13:57

good. Anyway, Fifty took him

13:59

out and then it wasn't until four

14:02

albums later that I realized, oh

14:04

wait, Fifty,

14:07

he's doing what

14:10

John did. He's

14:12

just doing it better. But it's the

14:14

same. It's the he

14:16

just he took the whole format murdering

14:19

g unit like you just you get the squad

14:22

together, you got your boss. Order

14:24

inks boss was that was IRV Gotti

14:27

over here. They had dre

14:29

you know what I'm saying, and you just

14:32

the problem with murder Inc. Was all they had

14:34

are they they had else was a shanty like

14:36

there wasn't enough other shooters g

14:38

un it. I mean Lloyd

14:41

Banks, Lloyd Banks did numbers, you know what I'm saying,

14:43

Tony Yo, I mean he got he went to prison.

14:46

But that was dope. Young

14:48

Buck was dope. And then to

14:51

cap it off a game even though they had their their

14:53

issues like g Unit, like

14:55

he took a format and made

14:58

it work to the points aware

15:00

none of us noticed. Now

15:04

let me add this, it's not to say that like you

15:06

know, Mega Cruz was didn't some abready exist.

15:08

You had you know, Native Tongue already,

15:11

you know Harlem World with with Mason m

15:13

you had you know, Junior Mafia, Like this

15:15

is it's cruise and you

15:17

just you put people out the same lunatics like it's

15:20

a it's a way to that's

15:22

how you do it, you know what I'm saying. So I'm not saying

15:24

that like it's

15:27

an easy one to one because

15:30

I mean it's it's a normal thing in the hip hop to

15:32

like you know, one person get on and then you try to get

15:34

everybody else on. But the similarities

15:36

were just with this particular moment

15:39

was pretty glaring. He

15:41

just did what he just picked up

15:43

where John left off, but

15:46

did it better. It just didn't feel

15:48

corty when fifty did it. It's the it was

15:51

the weirdest thing, like calling

15:53

me on front, I'll teach you how to stunt,

15:55

like it just dun, dunt.

15:58

It just didn't feel corny when fifty

16:01

did it. But it's the same

16:04

play. What

16:07

this got to do with politics, y'all?

16:09

Following the Governor de Santis, Man,

16:14

listen, I'm

16:17

gonna get into the weeds here with a little bit of

16:19

more evidence of of of what I think. But

16:21

I think here, here's here's the thing.

16:25

Somebody like Trump just is

16:27

again larger than life

16:30

in their party. He got that party in

16:32

a death grip. They nobody

16:35

want to jump out of line. And if they

16:37

do that, I mean, it's a risk some people

16:39

do they I mean what they centered Liz Shaney,

16:41

like, you know, either way,

16:44

a few people are broke. Old Pensy finally

16:46

stood up and was like, listen, Mr Trump was

16:48

wrong. And even

16:52

with that, like, I don't think anybody

16:54

got any doubt in their mind that

16:58

Trump is most likely gonna be the

17:00

Republican NET nominee

17:04

despite all reasons why

17:07

he shouldn't be. He gonna be

17:10

because he on top right now. He just up.

17:13

But what would make you think that all

17:15

of the sudden ambition has

17:17

left anybody else

17:20

inside that party? You think they like that,

17:23

You think these people have never You don't think

17:25

Mike Pence has ever had presidential

17:29

inklings. You don't

17:31

think Governor abbott Out in Texas ain't thought

17:33

about it. You don't think the Santos,

17:36

you don't think these fools ain't thought about

17:38

a run for office. They just know

17:41

that, like God damn it, it's

17:43

the wrong place at the wrong time, because

17:46

this fool Trump got

17:48

the party by the neck and

17:52

kin and he's and it's crazy because

17:54

he's able to swing it from the outside and

17:56

just he just he got it. But

18:00

that doesn't mean that ambition

18:02

disappears. So I

18:06

say that rambling intro to say this, how

18:09

do you possibly

18:13

have a chance to even

18:15

execute your ambition to

18:17

dethrone him? You gotta

18:20

do him the way fifty did John. You

18:22

gotta become him a second

18:25

break, all

19:14

right? So what would be the game and what

19:16

would lead me to think this? Now? Again it's

19:18

a hell, Mary, I don't know how because

19:20

I think in the head to head at this point between

19:23

the Santos and Trump, he's to me it's

19:25

like the closest chance of ever like actually

19:28

having a shot. It's still like,

19:30

uh, Trump, don't smoke you, you

19:33

know what I'm saying. But

19:35

you have everybody else that may have ambitions

19:37

and you ain't. Nobody else got no shot

19:39

as far as I'm concerned that being said,

19:43

Like, I'm balancing this prediction with

19:45

the fact that, like, no, we didn't

19:47

think I wouldn't have predicted that,

19:49

like fifty with dethrone

19:52

Job, you know what I'm saying, Like

19:54

I wouldn't have predicted that,

19:57

Like Job's kind of

19:59

a joke, like

20:01

Lightweight, like low Ki is a joke. You

20:03

know, I knew I wasn't really into it. Be

20:06

granted, a lot of that joking this is because of

20:08

like Firefest, But

20:12

that being said, like I don't see him

20:14

getting the

20:16

credit and the relevance that fifty

20:18

has seemed to continue

20:21

to have, and

20:24

I wouldn't have never predicted that. But

20:27

back to Florida. So if we're gonna

20:29

go with this motif like how fifty did

20:31

jah, we need to look at like what

20:34

Job did well? Was Okay?

20:36

He was a lovable thug, you

20:38

know what I'm saying, with a with a raspy

20:40

voice that could kind of keep you know, No,

20:43

he had enough streets, but he had enough pretty boy

20:45

in this. He was fit, you know, he's easy on the

20:47

eyes, um, and he was everywhere,

20:49

he was on everything, and he made this

20:52

made us feel like you were buying into something bigger

20:54

than what he is. So you look

20:56

at that, you say, what is he doing? Well, I'm

20:59

gonna do that. I'm just gonna

21:01

do it better. So and

21:04

follow me here, what what

21:06

did? What has Trump done? Well? Uh?

21:11

You know he I mean, he's convinced the world

21:14

to believe him no

21:16

matter what he says. You know, he's he's

21:18

great at myth making, right, controlling

21:20

narratives. He knows how to weaponize

21:23

all things for his favor. He

21:26

plays the grievances in

21:28

a way that it's

21:31

just he's good at it. He can play

21:33

the grievances, you know, to the point

21:35

to where the a

21:37

point by point facts about

21:40

something. It don't no one gives it.

21:42

It's you. You're you're

21:44

scratching the itch the

21:46

itch I need. And even if that itch is absurd,

21:49

and even if the itches, even if the

21:51

grievance is like as

21:54

anyone with logic like kind of understands

21:57

that, like, yo, this is a silly grievance. It doesn't

21:59

matter. Opinion on the grievance doesn't matter. Use

22:02

it for your good, use it for your power.

22:04

And that's something that Trump does

22:06

well. He can control a narrative. He plays

22:08

the grievances he presents. He presents

22:11

in power. He talks in absolutes. You

22:13

know, this is the greatest in the history

22:15

of the country. Like he talks in absolutes, um

22:18

and when it comes to that, But then

22:21

he also uses things like many people are saying,

22:23

A lot of people are saying, and it's like, well,

22:25

it's this again, just this master of the language,

22:28

because many and a lot it's like defined that what do

22:30

you mean what a lot of people are saying? Well, I mean I

22:32

heard I guess they were saying that you

22:35

know this and this. So it's just like that,

22:37

I can't pin you. I can't pin you on

22:40

where you get in this evidence Like he

22:42

hadn't already moved on to something else, so

22:45

you know what I'm saying, like, I can't you

22:48

can't use put your finger on jello. It's

22:50

amazing at it, And he could rally

22:52

the troops. He's

22:54

created a cult following

22:57

in a way that every artist should wish

23:00

they would be able to create that type of loyalty.

23:02

That's this man made to where the dumbest

23:05

ship This dude, dude don't even matter. Did

23:08

y'all see about the flush and the papers

23:10

down the toilet that he he was complaining

23:12

about. Did y'all like this? So much happened

23:15

y'all missed this. The man was

23:17

complaining about the

23:19

toilets in the White House. That

23:21

day's low flush toilet, it's take ten or

23:24

fifteen times and flushing, and he said, America complaining

23:26

about that too. Little did we know?

23:29

The report just came out that

23:31

it was it wasn't flushing

23:33

because of the documents in it. There was, it

23:35

wasn't flushing because it was full of papers. This

23:37

fool was flushing documents down

23:39

the toilet, and I honestly think

23:42

it's because Homie ain't no like

23:45

he ain't no, he

23:47

don't know this n went and got

23:49

a box of presidential

23:51

documents and took him back to mar Lago. I'm

23:54

positive he thought those were souvenirs.

23:56

I don't think it was as simple

23:59

as he's high in evidence, like that's

24:01

easy. I think this man, this

24:05

man brain bakes so

24:07

much that he don't he'd probably been flushing documents

24:09

down the toilet four years.

24:13

A little difference doesn't make it. Just it goes

24:15

away and the toilet is not working.

24:18

You just called somebody don't talk to the plumber that comes

24:20

fixed the toilet that says, Mr Trump, your

24:22

toilet was full of you're talking to the

24:25

plumber that show up is talking to an assistant,

24:28

a groundskeeper that says, yo,

24:31

y'all know it's in the whole last ream

24:34

of paper in your in

24:36

your pipes. That's why your pipes don't work. You

24:38

think that little assistant gonna go tell Mr.

24:40

Trump circuit you gotta stop flushing paper now. It

24:42

ain't gonna tell him nothing. So

24:45

like I bet you this. It was like, that's just what

24:47

it's like, because this

24:50

is so absurd, but it do matter

24:52

because y'all think it's gonna elect you for

24:55

your candidate. Again, this

24:59

is being pluging paper down the toilet

25:01

like yeah, coo, y'all. This man took

25:03

a box of souvenirs from the White House,

25:05

like, you ain't niktos a government

25:08

document. They're not yours. You

25:10

can't. You don't get you don't. That's

25:12

not how the ship work.

25:15

But none of that matters because Trump

25:18

is they got So if you do Santos

25:22

uh, I keep calling him to Santos.

25:24

His name is the Santist. Although I

25:27

have a sneaking suspicion. I can't prove

25:29

this that that the name is Santos. He's just

25:31

trying to hide his up Latino

25:33

on this, kind of like your boy Ted Cruz

25:37

Raphael, you know what I'm saying, that's your name,

25:39

it's Ted, like whatever,

25:42

and then Beto oh Roy trying

25:45

to trying to add Latin to it.

25:48

I think it's his toys anyway.

25:52

So the game is you gotta like you're

25:54

gonna do him like fifty did Job. You gotta essentially

25:57

become him, but you've got to become a better version

25:59

of him. Nigga, good luck, and you

26:01

gotta do it your way, you know. Uh

26:05

that's not to say that fifty is just a version

26:08

of Job, but you're

26:10

following a metaphor. Obviously fifties himself,

26:12

but he's just nig I mean, he

26:15

got to hang upside down in the super Bowl. Let

26:18

anyway. So first step, and

26:21

this is just from watching videos of

26:23

De Santos talk, of De Santi's talk, like I would

26:25

love for y'all when you've done with this, just go look

26:27

at speeches. I

26:31

mean it's like down to his gesturing, his

26:34

voice inflections, the way that he's

26:36

moving his hands, that

26:39

it's it's Trumpian like

26:41

you're doing you're doing and of

26:44

of visual impression of him.

26:48

And I don't know that. Man, I don't know if it's on purpose,

26:50

but I I just know performance.

26:52

I know in some ways some of that's

26:54

like, you know, if y'all really looked at

26:57

like if you were able to get ahold of

26:59

my Yeah, no, none about this,

27:01

but that rollodex of CDs you

27:04

know from my childhood, and you

27:06

were to piece together all

27:08

the different wrap groups, punk

27:10

groups, jazz and soul groups, if you were

27:12

to piece it all together, you would you could

27:14

be able to link and log my performance

27:16

together. You'd be like, that's this is where PROP

27:19

got that from, because that's who influenced

27:21

me. So I think that there's a there's

27:23

an innocence reality of that of like,

27:25

yo, you just get influenced by

27:28

what you're around. But then there's the part of

27:30

you that's like, I'm actually trying to invoke

27:33

this, you know, when I get on stage, you

27:36

know, and I throw you know, my west Side

27:38

w up, you know what I'm saying, put

27:40

my elbows up and take a skip into a sea

27:43

walk. I know what I'm invoking. Of

27:45

course, yes, um, from l A. You

27:47

know what I'm saying, Like, I'm I'm from here, so this

27:50

is a part of my influence. But I'm invoking something.

27:52

I'm trying to invoke the

27:54

power and legacy of what y'all saw

27:56

at the super Bowl. I'm invoking that, and

27:58

it's purposeful because I'm like, that's

28:00

what y'all know, that's what y'all ride with. I'm

28:03

clearly not as famous as them, so I'm

28:05

trying to invoke stuff that reminds you

28:07

with him nick it duh, right, And

28:09

it's also like but it's also and

28:13

that's my head, like I'm from l A. Like of

28:15

course it that stuff impressed

28:17

me the way that it impressed you. It changed my life,

28:20

changed my life the way it changed our life. So there's there's

28:22

some innocence to it, but there's also some

28:26

tactical moves in here. I'm invoking that, right,

28:30

So I'm watching Governor de Santos invoked,

28:32

you know, he stays. Secondly,

29:09

I can't speak to his

29:13

voting record because

29:16

he wasn't on my radar. He's not my governor. I can't

29:18

speak to a lot of so I don't I don't know, you

29:20

know, I can't speak in any sort of

29:22

confidence about like where he's been. I mean,

29:24

y'all could google that, but I'm talking about

29:28

what seems to me to

29:30

be like bio

29:33

mimicry. You know what I'm saying, Like

29:36

it's fifty did ja. And

29:38

the first is to go with kind of how he's

29:40

handling the

29:42

laws around the pandemic. You know, it's

29:45

it's it. It looks

29:47

as though he's playing against a

29:50

lot of grievances. But I want to get to specifically

29:53

where I'm like, Okay, he found

29:56

his button and what's going

29:58

to get him power

30:01

and get him the headlines? Because

30:03

it continues to work, and

30:06

it's the critical

30:08

race theory wars. It's

30:11

working because

30:14

I mean, my Little Last podcast is doing

30:16

a show on it now.

30:21

I'm sure if you listen to the show, you already

30:23

know like the national

30:25

dialogue around like critical

30:28

race theory. He is one

30:30

of the first governors to be like, you're

30:32

not allowed to teach a period. I'm

30:35

down to band books. You're

30:37

not gonna do this right now.

30:40

Um. I got the story from CBS

30:43

News about the debate

30:46

over whether critical race

30:48

theory is indoctrination

30:51

and being taught in schools

30:53

and I'm gonna quote this from the

30:55

CBS news article that saw it, says,

30:58

head of head of teachers union says critical

31:00

race theory isn't taught in schools and

31:02

vows to defend on his history.

31:04

Now, granted this is one side, Mom, go ahead

31:07

and read it for you, says. The debate over how race is

31:09

taught in schools continues

31:11

to be a hot button issues in many districts,

31:14

and the president of America's largest

31:16

teachers union is speaking out against the

31:18

efforts to band critical race theory. In

31:20

a speech, um, Randy

31:23

uh Wine Garden, the

31:25

head of the American Federation of Teachers,

31:27

says critical race theory is not even taught in elementary

31:30

schools, and she vowed to fight

31:33

culture warriors who are bullying

31:36

teachers. Now, I think in the episode

31:38

before this one, if

31:40

I know how to schedule wing, I talked about how sometimes

31:42

terms can get stretched into a place to where they

31:44

don't mean anything. And

31:47

I can tell you with a hundred percent confidence,

31:49

everything I know about other anything

31:51

other than white people, happened outside of school

31:55

or in college. I'm telling y'all,

31:58

there wasn't a single rop.

32:02

No one taught me anything

32:05

about anything other than a white man's

32:07

perspective. Even when

32:09

we were doing world history,

32:11

I remember we learned about medieval

32:14

Japan in in seventh grade.

32:16

I remember learned about medieval Japan and then

32:18

you know different or the different

32:20

empires of China.

32:24

But they were taught still from a lens

32:28

of European expansion.

32:31

You're just telling me that like they just existed.

32:34

I the only reason

32:37

I knew anything about the history of

32:39

black Latinos or or anybody

32:41

else in America was because my father

32:43

told me so black panther I

32:46

knew because of what of

32:48

movies. They didn't teach me that,

32:50

nobody told No one taught this.

32:53

I ain't know what the word met critical

32:55

race theory until college. So

32:58

the outrage I'm saying

33:00

from my own perspective is like it's

33:03

not happening, Like God,

33:05

I don't understand what you're talking about. What

33:08

you're saying is don't talk about

33:10

racism period. And

33:12

we're like, well, that's not critical race theory, nigga,

33:15

that's just what the hell happened, And

33:17

that's a different that's a different

33:19

story. The Santo's got out in front

33:22

was like, no, you're gonna stop washing and stuff

33:24

down our kids. So and they's like, nigga washing

33:26

what down your throats? You know what? That reminds

33:28

me of? That reminds me of the whole

33:30

Like, these immigrants are coming, and

33:32

they're coming, these hordes, and they're gonna take your

33:35

jobs. So you got

33:37

somebody out there in callus Bell, Montana

33:39

telling me that these

33:42

Mexican immigrants are gonna come take their

33:44

jobs. I'm like, have you ever seen a Mexican?

33:46

What's the percentage of Mexicans up here

33:48

in Callisville? There is no immigrant

33:50

coming taking your job? The funk is

33:53

you talking about? But it's the principalities

33:55

of the thing they take it. It's it's the metaphorically

33:59

speaking, they take. And this you know what I'm saying. So you hit

34:01

that button. The big lie we talked

34:03

about, the big lie. You hit that button. It is

34:05

not real, but the principalities

34:08

of the situation is real. You keep hitting

34:10

that button and you know that's not true, but

34:13

you keep hitting the button. Why, nigga?

34:15

Because it works. Then your man

34:17

Santos went so far

34:19

as to say, which

34:22

is I mean, it's the greatest. I'm

34:24

like, I'm so I'm impressed,

34:27

my nigga, Like I'm impressed, my

34:29

man said. On Tuesday,

34:31

a bill backed by Florida Governor de Santists

34:34

would prohibit public schools and private

34:36

businesses from inflicting discomfort

34:38

on white people during lessons and trainings

34:41

about discrimination. It was approved

34:44

by the State Education

34:46

Committee um and its first hurdle

34:48

and becoming a law. The bill asp

34:50

one seemingly grew out of the conservative

34:53

hysteria over a critical race theory,

34:55

which, as a reminder, is

34:57

an academic concept based on the

35:00

idea that racism is not about individual

35:02

people's prejudices, but about institution

35:04

and policies. It does not, as

35:07

the GOP lawmakers and its partners

35:09

in the right wing media would want us to believe,

35:12

teach us that all white people are

35:14

racist, but y'all are though I'm just kidding.

35:16

Uh, that's that's a joke. But

35:19

if you want to unpack the joke, it's because

35:22

racism, as this is saying, it's

35:24

institutionalized. So even

35:26

to participate in the institution,

35:29

by definition of what we mean by racism,

35:32

would mean that if you end up the institution,

35:34

you're racist. You're participating in a racist

35:37

system. But don't worry about that. I'm

35:39

not here to split those hairs. Just like

35:42

I might say that I'm a socialist, but nigga,

35:44

I live in America. I'm a capitalist, like

35:46

it, it is what it is. By participating

35:49

in capitalism, I don't know to tell

35:51

you I'm a capitalist. You know what what I'm saying, even even if I

35:53

know something wrong with it. I know I'm

35:55

not gonna price gouge. I know I'm not gonna like participating

35:58

bad practices that continue to oppressed

36:00

the poor. I know that, y'a. Also, I'm

36:03

in the ocean. You gotta swim. The ocean

36:05

is capitalism now. So the man's man's

36:07

was like, I'm passing a law that's not gonna that's gonna

36:10

make white people, you know, experience discomfort

36:13

and for the group of people that call everybody

36:15

snowflakes, and easily triggered

36:17

this like y'all trying to burn books on

36:20

some like Fahrenheit that that's probably

36:22

the most like Fahrenheit forfit you want, that's

36:24

one of the books they want us to burn. And I'm like, do y'all

36:26

hear the irony in this? Like y'all don't

36:28

even think you see the irony in this. The point

36:31

is I'm not even worried about that. I'm saying,

36:33

niggad, that's a play. I'm like, that's

36:35

a play that is so trumpy.

36:38

You know what I'm saying, to be on some like

36:41

you can't make white people feel bad. It's

36:43

I feel like it's a one upping, like

36:45

you one up in this nigked You

36:47

know what I'm saying, to become some sort of hero

36:50

to this group, to create this like fan

36:53

base. You feel me, that's gonna

36:55

help you ride into the position. I'm saying,

36:57

nig a, good luck. You're gonna need a lot

37:00

old dumbass laws passed

37:02

if you're gonna really convince these people to

37:04

back you instead of President Trump.

37:06

I mean, nigga, good luck. But I can see

37:08

what you're doing. Though I see

37:10

your moves. How

37:13

are you going to force that you

37:16

can't say something that's gonna make somebody white uncomfortable?

37:19

Like, nigga, have you seen a Karen? Do

37:21

you know what makes white people uncomfortable? Everything?

37:27

I don't know a

37:31

very existence. By thinking like, it's

37:34

it possible to not make y'all feel discomfort.

37:37

Like obviously

37:39

I'm speaking to gross generalities, but

37:41

I'm like, niggas be

37:43

walking their dogs fools,

37:46

be minding their own business, having their

37:48

own conversation, eating meals.

37:51

Afghani family eating the meal,

37:53

listening to music by their self

37:56

on a local park, and Nigga's

37:58

calling White Oak call to the post

38:00

Leice talking about like, I don't know how to not

38:02

make y'all feel discomfort. Somebody

38:06

wearing her job because

38:08

that's her religion, like

38:10

her religions, says she needs to wear a hand cover

38:13

you you're feeling discomfort, like,

38:16

I don't know what the for

38:19

do you want me to tell you? I don't

38:21

know how we posted enforced this. I

38:24

like it. The only way to

38:26

enforce this, follow me, is for us to disappear.

38:29

And you see the game. It's

38:32

that's I mean, that's the game, all

38:35

right, it's our fifty

38:38

did job. At least to me,

38:40

that's what that's the play he's doing because ambition.

38:42

Don't disappear just because it's somebody on top.

38:45

Matter of fact, I'll

38:48

bet you it's people hellless salty that he

38:50

taken up so much space. So

38:54

one more thing to add, Uh,

38:57

this is what happens. You record episodes live too early,

38:59

you know what I'm saying, Like, then you get new information another

39:03

whole fifty did Job metaphor was you

39:05

know about the possibility of somebody like a De

39:07

Santos being able to dethrone Donald Trump,

39:09

Which I don't think it's necessarily possible, but

39:11

maybe. But

39:13

in that metaphor, if we're gonna continue it going

39:16

on, then um, somebody

39:18

that fifty or Job didn't calculate

39:20

for who ended

39:22

up dethroning them both. Kanye

39:26

West. Nobody saw

39:28

him coming, not even his own

39:30

label. Nobody saw him coming,

39:35

and he became the dude.

39:39

So I guess in the comparison, it would say

39:42

if the Santos is attempting

39:45

to dethrone the Trump,

39:47

which I don't necessarily see coming, just

39:51

like we didn't see fifty d throne and jab somebody

39:55

that neither wanted him accounted for. It's

39:59

Marjorie Taylor, the Green She

40:02

might take both day seats. Well

40:04

the Santos. I hope you'll get rich or die,

40:06

try and record do enough numbers,

40:09

because uh, if

40:12

you're gonna try to take on the ball sneak, you better

40:14

get your weight up. But I think maybe getting

40:16

your weight up means attempting to

40:18

pass more racist laws hood

40:21

politics. Yeah,

40:33

that's here thing was recorded by ME Propaganda

40:36

40:38

40:41

40:46

40:48

was a stick. He's won by Matt now again

40:50

because he got into some legal situations

40:52

40:55

to be called common sense. You know, tip t I

40:57
