Speaker 1 (00:02):
Al Zone Media. All right, it's the most wonderful time
of the year for podcasters in that season of the
time of the year is rerun time. Oh yes, especially
if you do like a weekly good lord, a daily podcast.
(00:24):
Got dog, so glad I could run a rerun. So
the rerun we're running is the State of the Blackness,
Part one, because next week will be the full year
State of the Blackness, because it's been quite a year
for black people anyway. It is to Malay season. So
(00:49):
I am going to leave this recording office, this little
in the back of the crib where I record the pod,
and I am going to gorge myself on to my
list because I'm in Los Angeles and my wife is
(01:13):
from Mexico.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Deuces.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You know, sometimes you just wake up and choose violence.
There are so many sayings that have because of the
Internet and specifically black Twitter, which will be the content
of the episode following this one. But wake it up
(01:52):
and choose violence again as a black saying that you
know where we say what we mean most of the time,
we choose peace to stay on point and again follow follow,
follow the way that our slang works. This is very
important because it's all connected you stay woke. I know
y'all Inn stole the term, but what we mean by
(02:13):
that is aware of the ways that you are being oppressed,
Like don't fall asleep at the wheel the way the
white people say, just let somebody else steer the ship.
Like you got to stay awake. You gotta know what's
happening around you. Stay aware, stay informed, and you stay
on point. You be about your paper, you be about
your business. You understand. So a lot of the stuff
we talk about is we mean to be like yo,
(02:33):
you stay on mission, like you don't let nobody shake
you off mission. Don't let these people's foolishness detract you
from the goal, from the mission, from the elevation. You
do stuff for the culture, for the family, you know,
and you choose peace. You choose that. But sometimes, as
Kendrick say, you got to pop out and show niggas
these sayings, these ways we have as a black community,
(02:57):
they're all connected. We understand them all because they all
from the same cultural experience. So all of our phrases,
they're connected, but they're connected by the connected tissue of
our shared experience of our culture. I hope this is
makeing sense to you. These are things that you just
I don't if you if you are like us again,
like Kendrick said, I would not have to explain these
(03:18):
things because you would just know. And it's not This
isn't a slight, this is just a reality. There are ways. Again,
this is gonna be this part I'm gonna I should
probably say for again the next week about black Twitter.
But it's for context for you to understand that, like listen,
we are. The way we communicate in a lot of
ways is we can be deeply serious about very unserious
(03:39):
things and be dead serious about really unseerious stuff and
never lose sight as to which is what and how
they're both happening at the same time, and we truly
understand which is which, and nobody's confused. But if you
aren't confused, we understand. I tweeted this once and on
(04:00):
my own girls was like, man, my my sister's daughter's
hamster died. And my response was like, oh man, who
did the body? I don't have time to explain to
you why that is so funny, but everybody black would
get it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
The reason I do this preamble is because I want
to do a couple episodes around Juneteenth, you know, which
is at this point coming up about blackness. I think that,
especially with the celebration of Juneteenth. I think that, like,
I can't believe I haven't done a full episode on
what Juneteenth is already anyway. I guess partially because realizing
(04:38):
like I needed to know who my audience was, and
it was just like there's a lot of not black
people listening. So I was like, Oh, we need to
make sure that y'all, y'all really know what's you know.
I gotta I gotta some things I gotta say to you,
you know. I mean, sometimes I explain stuff that's black
just out of solidarity with other black people, where I'm
just like, dude, like this is crazy, right, it's so fun.
Other times I'm like realizing that, like, oh, you you
(04:58):
don't know this about our culture. Okay, so let me
lay it out for you. So this is me laying
it out and also celebrating It's both blackness. But there's
something special about twenty twenty four that for some reason
we have decided as a culture and a community that
we just have time this year. What do I mean
by that, Oh, we got time this year? Like again,
(05:20):
usually you don't wake up and choose violence. You got
to be on your mission and you ain't got time
for no foolishness. On time to be messy. Messiness is
for the weekend, like we you know, we'll do that later.
Like if you just gonna be messy us right now,
I got stuff to do on time for your foolishness.
This year, however, for some reason, we all decided that
we got time, and that has manifested itself in ways
(05:46):
for which we have ducked with things in house. There
were things we needed to talk about amongst ourselves, and
then there was some foolishness that we were just done
dealing with.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
My theory is there might be something to the fact
that I think, as Black Americans we just understand the
reality of our two presidential options and prepping ourselves for
the four years we about to experience, and there was
foolishness that we stood for early on. Then we ain't
realize the depth for which the Caucasidy was gonna show itself.
I think we was a little unprepared for that. Unprepared
(06:18):
in the sense that we thought that y'all had some
sense there might have been the semblance of progress. Maybe
we was maybe things were not like they used to be.
Maybe there was, and then the white lash happened. We
was like, oh, oh, it's what we knew. We were
hoping it was something else, but noah, it's what we knew.
(06:38):
And it just seems like this year we decided, you
know what, we got time, We're gonna deal with this.
We said what we said, you're gonna get this work.
So today, at the six month mark of the year,
I think it's time to reflect on and look forward
to how black people have decided in twenty twenty four.
We got time the politics, y'all. Now, before we get
(07:10):
into this, let me hit y'all to with the weekly
roundup of We'll see it's.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Kind of like this bull look is like this.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Bull look is like this all right, So it's like this,
you know, the Hunter Biden case jumps off and I
shouldn't be smiling because the testimony went out and essentially.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hunter just ratchet like he.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Was sad about his brother, and the niggas started to
do a crack like it's not funny. Okay, the man
got himself a gun, got yourself a gun, and and
had it for eleven days till this girl threw it out.
Apparently it was never loaded, and he, according to this case,
(08:10):
lied about being on drugs and illegally got a gun. Now,
according to the defense, he had a signed paper that
he had gone through rehab and he was supposedly sober
at the time, right that, and then you know, relapsed after.
But either way, dog, y'all, they done dragged. They brought
(08:32):
his ex girl out, his brother's girl out, his kids out,
being like, nah, homie bro had problems, and they was like, look,
you said it in your own book, you had problems.
You gotta you gotta, you gotta run this fade big
dog now.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Poem, it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And I don't feel bad for nobody rich kid, but
like I do feel bad. It's that he like, damn
I Dodn't I done mess this up with my daddy?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Like guys, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Now, Normally in cases like this, people bring up the
gun charge as far as like you illegally attained a
gun when that gun was involved in some other crime,
like if that gun had a body on it, if
that gun was involved in some sort of robbery or something,
(09:34):
if some sort of crime was admitted on the gun.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So usually just add this thing to you add this.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Type of charge to the docative charges that are already
there to just kind of like you know, up the
anti ad the sassa to the tacos. Usually this type
of charge ain't the thing. But usually we not talking
about the president's son, you feel me. And not only that,
we talk about the president the current president's son brought
(10:01):
with a federal case.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You know what I'm saying, when his daddy in charge.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You feel me. So it's a lot going on right here. This,
I mean, you could read this however you want. This
could be a sacrificial like this could be like a
sacrificial lamb, like I gotta throw my son to the wolves.
This could be you know because in any other case,
like you look at Trump, Trump out of way of
like getting all he either get the stuff thrown out
(10:29):
or or get the joint delayed till February thirtieth, You
feel me like he figured out how to get out
of all this stuff, and it just kind of it
just kind of to me seemed like Biden is your
run of them or Hunter Biden, your runn of this,
your run of the mill rich kids you know who
(10:55):
ain't figure out how to hit the lick as good
as the other rich kids, because the Trump and didn't
is they didn't figure out how to use their richness.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You you just keep.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Messing up and if and in his defense, it might
be honestly because when he lost his brother, he just
lost his mind. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Next.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Look like Israel got fux hostages, they got full hostages back,
that's beautiful. Were glad that y'all home and it shot
two hundred and seventy People on the way out were like.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Come on, fail got dog man? You what do you.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I don't even know how to just.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You had your You had your hostages, dude, like just
you had them like you their home once you shooting
for never mind. And lastly, old Biden. You know, one
of the first episodes I've done on iHeart was called
(12:06):
Joe Biden from Long Beach, which got me in a
little bit in trouble with some actual like gang members
because they was like, you saying, here crip And I'm like,
I could see how you would say that, because most
Long Beach, if you black cripping. What I'm saying is
he is no different than Trump, just saying it nicer
(12:31):
and what you find out about a lot of like
like take like a Vince Staples, like there's no question
about his certification. Take a Snoop Dazz. These are some
of the Like they're the most likable dudes. They're just
(12:51):
super likable, intelligent, fun loving guys that are murderers. Like
you can't like, there is no question about the gang
banging in like they're not safe men, they're just chilling.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Like you know.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So what I'm saying is like, don't don't let the
fact that they chilling fool you, like you know. So,
what Joe is doing at the border with his new
immigration policy is the weirdest. It's there's there is no
(13:27):
difference in his new policy. Then what Trump would say,
The only difference is he not calling him vermit. But
the policy is, Hey, we're gonna stop accepting any asylum
seekers and we're gonna send y'all back within the next
four days because we got too many of you. Y'all
(13:49):
gotta stay out of here. We don't know what to
do with you. You gotta go, like, we're not accepted,
no more asylums. Ye what, that's what Trump says, No,
it's different, niggas the same anyway, we'll unpack that much later.
Now let's get to this story.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Blackness, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like I said, this is a reflection on the past
six months where we are the state of the blackness
address if you will, and just with the Queen, Congresswoman
Jasmine Crockett with her dropping to call this alliteration just cooking,
Marjorie Taylor, green bleach, blonde, bad built, butch body just
(14:54):
out which I can't even say it without laughing. First
of all, it's the perfect example of us being unserious
and serious at the same time. That moment, which we
will build to by the end of this episode, is
exactly what I mean. Her display of the sophistication, the
sophistic ratchetness of what it means to be a black
(15:15):
professional and why I will say and shout on the
rooftop that our double consciousness by cultural understanding of what
it means to be professional, how we can speak the
king's tongue, how to play respectability politics, and how to
not be one to be played with because we are
(15:37):
from where we're from and we said what we said.
How that is displayed in this one clip is again
my foundational premise, which is we are more equipped than
anyone else in this world to do the jobs that
we do.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Because this was perfect.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
It was again black people showing you, oh we got time.
I'm done with all this. I got time. So it's
gonna culminate with that. But what I want to start
rewind the clock back to a couple moments in this
year that has just made me realize, like, yeah, we
just decided this year that we got time. So let's
start first with how the year started. Club Sha Sha
(16:17):
and Kat Williams. Okay, the year kicked off with a
bang with this interview from comedian Kat Williams, who just
now released a Netflix comedy special which I'm gonna lie
to you kind of mid wasn't as funny as I
was hoping it would be. That being said, this interview
was one of the funniest things I've ever heard ever
in my life because Kat decided he was going to
spill all the tea. To understand why this is so
(16:40):
important is you kind of have to understand who Shannon
Sharp is and what he represents to us as a culture. Now.
Shannon Sharp former NFL player, then he was a sports
NFL commentator. He started his YouTube podcast called Club sha sha.
He's got cognac in it. It's listened to us called
sha sha. Now, black people are very it's a very
(17:01):
normal like other Latinos will call the cardino, a very
normal cardino that you would give our our children, where
we just say they names twice you cut their names.
Kai Kai says, like, that's a normal thing that we
do with our children. It's just it's a it's a
term of envieriment again, a cardinho, like if you speak Spanish,
like there's no the translation is not direct, but you
(17:22):
know what I mean when I say it's a cardigno. Right, So,
and y'all, you know, white people should make fun of
it with like honey booboo like okay, but y'all don't
understand like bubo like calling our kids stuff like that.
First of all, bubo is is doodoo like it's but
it's also a petna is anyway, it's complicated, so Saysha
is already a throwback to just very just blackness. Shannon
(17:43):
is sharp in the way that he enunciates, the way
that he articulates his facial expressions, the points he makes,
even the depth of knowledge that he has about things.
But yet it's said in such a country manner. Is
he's collectively our uncle because it's so authentic. He's actually
(18:07):
very well informed, very curious, knows what he's doing, super professional.
But he never lost. And and I don't know him
well enough to know, but everybody else that knows him says, no,
that's real. That's really him. The you know him with
him would have black and mild and some and some
crown royal in it in you know, slapping spades, playing domino,
siping cognac like he is. This is our uncle, all
(18:30):
of it, like everything was so so his character, not
in a derogatory term, but just in the person with
the persona the person we're seeing on the screen, whether
it's authentic to him or not, which again I believe
it is. He is so familiar to us. That's unk.
He unk, like you know what I'm saying, Like unk
is obviously short for uncle, which is just again it's
(18:52):
a it's a term of respect we give to older
black men who aren't necessarily our fathers, right or not,
like the in between, like a big homie or a
big cousin, you know what I'm saying, Like a big homye.
A lot of times is a little closer to your age,
but like your unk, like he a little older, you
know what I'm saying. Like you know a few years ago,
it would be like the dude with the you know,
with the bluetooth with the with the funny looking bluetooth
(19:14):
in his ear, like he just oh, heah, what's up, chuck,
Like the Spice Adams character. Like now that person has
gotten a little older, a little more older. Like our
unks now are again more like Shannon Sharp. They little
more style, They got a little They don't dress like seventies,
you feel me, Like they dress the way he dressed.
He a little younger. He still be outside, he still
be courtside, you know what I'm saying. But like y'all
seen them clips where he looked back at homeboy that
(19:35):
really wanted to wanted to smoke with him where he like,
I'm still willing to. I'll dance with you, young boys.
I'm still willing to get down. Like my knees are
still okay. You know. The old heads, like the Spice
Adams characters, they needs don't they needs ain't working, you
know you spraying the juke on. These boys are still
in the club a little older than us. So that's unk.
You feel me right that the girls they bringing around
(19:58):
probably got a got grown children, you all saying, and
maybe like a one or two year old grand baby.
But mama still Grandma's still bad. She's still kind of young.
You know, she's still bad. She's still out party. That's
who unck bring around. Like, so he already that to us.
And then you add in Kat Williams. Now Kat Williams
a legendary black comic, but he loved odd. He always
(20:21):
has been a little odd. He decided to absolutely eviscerate
every other black comic short of a fuel and he
was like, you gonna not disrespect Bernie Max's name. You
gonna not disrespect D. L. Hugeley's name because he like
they put in the work. But he's like, I want
all the smoke. I ain't got no respect for no,
(20:42):
Steve Harvey, for no, said the entertainer. I'm saying that
Kevin Hart's an industry plan. Like he just lit everybody up.
And then then he talked about faise on Love, which
was gave us the quote of what I thought was
gonna be the quote of the year, where he said
nobody knew that you know a minor was coming yet,
but at the time when he said you have a
strange alliance with losers and that is not like you,
(21:06):
he was talking about the fact that like Faisan who
played Big Worm and Friday has never had no specials
and just never that he because he's his point is
the man's not that funny.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This happened and he was.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Making all these kind of like wild outlandish claims, and
then video started surfacing where he was basically saying said
being stealing jokes this whole time. He stole the whole
show from Mark Curry, who we all loved, from Michelle
called Hagem and mister Cooper, and then all these clips
of said the entertainer actually ripping off jokes and it
(21:41):
was like wow, like wait a minute, none of us
ever thought of that. And then he's making claims about
him being able to run like a four point four
forty yard dash, and then the video come out like
that man really running that fast, and it was like
nobody like just he wanted all. He came hot and
(22:01):
Uck couldn't keep up with him. So it set the
tone for the entire year. And sometimes like people say,
like people say this all like again in the black spaces, like, yo,
we blaming this whole year on Cat Williams. Cat Williams
was like, I'm spilling all the tea. I'm ready to
be messy. Kat decided he had time and he's out,
and I will argue this. He definitely set the tone
(22:23):
for the rest of the year. Now, I can't blame
everything else on him, but I tell you what, that
was prophetic. We should have known this year black people
have decided we got time and we're gonna deal with
our own here. There needed to be a reckoning with that.
Now what he said about Kevin Hart, I don't know.
I'm not I don't know that part of the industry,
but I do know that we was like, yo, this
(22:46):
is a much better way of starting this year than
we expected to or you know, cause were like, look,
there a potential for January sixth, Part two, an electric
Boogoaloo January sixth. The potential is here. So he was
already on edge, and I think that that might be
a part of why we was like, all right, look, no,
we're not playing around. So Kat Williams set us off.
(23:07):
The next thing was Sean p Diddy, Puffy Combs, my
GoF next, all right, we're back. Let me back up
(23:43):
a second to the me too movement. Now, remember, first
of all, me too movement black woman who first coined
the phrase. Just make sure let's remember that, because again blackness.
The discussion among my world was the fact that me
(24:04):
too hadn't touched hip hop yet. And when it does,
my lord, that was you know, around the time that yeah,
like me to first kicked out, kicked off with the
you know, Harvey Weinstein and came with everybody that you know,
dropped off, the Matt Lawers of the world, all this
stuff that was about powerful white dudes in corporate situations,
(24:26):
you know, Bill Cosby, of course, R Kelly, of course.
But those were ones that like, yeah, we kind of
already knew that's blackness, but I hadn't hitten hip hop yet.
One could argue that like R Kelly, but R Kelly
A's an R and B singer that's not specifically hip
hop influence, is not hip hop okay. But because of
the way that misogyny has played such a huge role
(24:48):
in rap music and the history of how black women
have bore the brunt of the the emotional and spiritual
heavy lifting within the black community have been the first
(25:09):
to protect black men, most of the time to their
own detriment. Don't. I try not to get into the
battle of the sexes. But it's just that's just the reality.
This isn't to drag black men. Listen, that's not what
I'm saying. I'm talking specifically about the experience of black women,
whether we're looking at Megan thee Stallion situation, which the
(25:30):
reality is, the more that we understand about kind of
what happened, she lied, of course out front, but she
lied to protect Tory as in Tory Lanes, because she knows,
like all black women in Memoriam, that if you turn
black men over to them white people, they not gonna
(25:50):
show them no mercy. And Megan from the streets, so
like you know, you just don't. You don't snitch on
the homies. You deal with it in house.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
This point I'm making as far or is like the
historical precedence and trauma of saying if we pop off
about about these black men, they're gonna lynch him. They're
gonna deal with this in a way that's gonna cause
more damage to our community. So a lot of times
black women in hopes to protect our children, to protect
(26:20):
our community, and even to protect them is like they
they take on, they take on a lot of the suffering. Also,
we get so beat up as black men when we
go outside by this dominant white culture, this white supremacist culture.
We get beat up. By the time we go home,
we ain't got nothing left, and who's nursing us to
health and a lot of times taking up brunt of
(26:41):
us not being able to express ourselves fully when we outside,
like we we I'm saying we because I'm talking about
black men. We take it out on our ladies, super
you know, fraudulent, coming at them sideways, finding our our manliness,
our masculinity, in our violence and in our sexual prowess.
Like this is just this is just historical Black experience.
(27:03):
This is kind of just what it's been like. This
is one of our maladies. Now, of course I'm speaking
in a type of generality, but understand that like these
are some of the pieces of trauma and PTSD that
kind of sits in our bones and sits in our community.
That being said, when we make our music, there is
an understanding a lot of times that look, we just
(27:24):
out here that the music is the escape. Sometimes it's
the expression of what we're going through, and other times
it's the escape or the hope of what we wish
we were going through. Like when you take like the
old school early hip hop rappers that were like Shaddy
Coop the Vial back then lay Back Coop the Vial,
it's like, you don't these brothers lived in the projects.
(27:44):
They didn't have they were driving o Coop the Vill's nigga.
They was on the bus, the gold chains and all
that stuff like this is us finding ways to find value.
We understood in that sense that like Yo Black Memo
was a part of this. Nowack women expressing their sexuality
and and they're they're expressing themselves, whether it's twerking or
(28:06):
the booty shaking and stuff like that. Like back down South,
they used to call it pussy popping. That was just
a name, that was just what it was called, right,
you know, and then he turned into the term twert
But like black women expressing themselves, you know, whether it's
salt and pepper being like very sexualized for jj fad like,
they expressed themselves just like everybody else does. And that
was again an understanding in hip hop. But then we
(28:28):
started then It got weird because there was still a
type of misogyny in the concept of hip hop. Bitches
ain't shit but hose and tricks, right, like not send
suck that deck, It ain't no fun if the hommies
came ha none and girls singing along now, granted with
an understanding that like you bet, and I wish nigga
(28:48):
would say that to me, like you bet, not actually
ever say that to me? Yeah, like the fact that
like Rhap City just put an album out and she's like, look,
let me tell you why I'm not in your top
five argument. It's because I don't have we make we'd
like everybody else. There are other they're seventy cents to
the dollar in hip hop, like women who are rapping,
Like why why isn't Latifa, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown MC light,
(29:14):
Why are they not in the arguments for Mount Rushmoorris.
You know people talking about Nikki now NICKI owe her
career to Little Kim, Like, let's be real, there would
be no Megan's, there would be none of that. It
would be no Cardi B's if it wasn't for somebody
like a Little Kim.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And then you take rhaps City.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Who for me, I'm like, oh, I don't know nobody
rapping like rhap City right now. Like there's again she
The argument is she is right, she should be in
the top five. We still have a problem with Massogi.
We still have a problem with patriarchy. We still don't
understand this. That being said, it was understood and kind
of like nobody's saying the quiet thing out loud. I
(29:49):
feel like Charlamage and the God may have brought this
up once that like wait till Me two hits the
hip hop community. It's because the music industry, specifically in
hip hop, it's some weird, weird stuff that goes on,
and a lot of it has to do with in
my mind power. Before I get to that, there was
(30:10):
an interview with IRV Gotti or no, with Ashanti about
IRV Gotti, you know, over at Murder Inc. And some
of this just horrible things he would say to her,
like I made every nigga in the world. Won't a
fuck you mind? I made you You're not even that cute,
like just trash, just just things you would never say
to a person, like unless you're a pimp. And then
some of these niggas since they were kingmakers, just like
(30:31):
Harvey Weinstein and them, like they were untouchable. You couldn't
there was nothing you could say because if they blacklisted you,
you was done. But finally somebody spoke of and it
was Cassie p Ditty's girl, who was, first of all,
is twenty years younger than him, So there's that right.
But that being said, Cassie brought the indictment. But in
(30:51):
the indictment, it brought a cascade of so many other
things to the point to which Diddy's house was rated.
Now this happened again because black people decided we had
time today. This happened at the same time that Beyonce
dropped the country out and we was like, listen country
black too.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I'm tired of letting you, y'all because we got.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Tired this year. I'm tired of letting y'all think that
this your music. No, no, no, no, no, that's black too.
Beyonce said, I'm reclaiming my time for all of us
country music. Black do your homework. I got time. I'm
making an album and I'm proving to y'all that's not
your music. And look, Higo, one hundred other black country
(31:36):
artists for you to check out who been putting in work.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I'm here for them.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
This is all happening while we realizing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
With p Diddy, that that man was whooping her tail.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And what was so interesting about that is, like Diddy,
he was the worst kept secret. Everybody knew this, you
just don't say nothing about it. Black people decided they
had time this year. I don't know, it's somewhere in
the spirit, like we heard the spirit talking. Ezekio saw
the wheel my nigga man, that is a Black church reference.
What was the church reference? But like Ekyo Ezekielo saw
the wheel way up in the middle of the air.
(32:10):
Ezekiel saw the wheel way in the middle of the air.
If you know, you know now in this moment, it
was not only what he was doing to her, but
what was happening in his relationship to other young rappers,
whether it was Meek Mill Usher. So now the rumors
(32:31):
started started just going all over the place where Diddy
was either making them commit sexual acts or they were
like for him to watch, or he was actually doing
it to them. It was understood that Diddy got cameras
all over his house, and the understanding is he got
cameras all over his house, be so that nobody talks
because I got you on camera. Now, I'm telling you
(32:52):
this story firsthand from one of my homies. I was there,
so firsthand from his story. You'd be at one of
his parties, somebody tap you on the shoulder and it's like, hey,
it's probably you might want to go ahead and leave now.
And as you seeing who coming in, that's your clue, like, yeah,
we should probably bounce on me.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Like this stuff and like thank God for that food.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's like, look, it's time for you to go, because
things got real hectic after that. Now inside of that
indictment is now, I mean there's photos of like you know,
being like making young men force their penetration on other men,
like all kind of stuff that was happening. It was
like nature was like curing itself. Because again, if you
were in the music industry, you knew all this. You
knew that these were the type of things that he did.
(33:34):
But what we didn't know was what he was keeping
quiet about his girl. Then CNN decided to be the
shade rule, Like it's so crazy, CNN, I like, I
couldn't believe this. I saw a comedian just talk about this.
What wait, what's the home girl name? Hold on, y'all,
Monika Sanders, that's her name. She was like, listen, CNN
decided that y'all don't watch the news anyway, y'all don't
(33:56):
care about stuff that really that really go on, so
we might as well show you TMZ of it all.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Just let's get messy.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
She was like, they on some nigga shit, which is
hilarious because it's kind of true.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Why is Diddy on CNN?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And then, as a bonus for all of us real ones,
somebody messed up and booked Cameron.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
To come talk about this thing.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
And apparently y'all forgot about Cameron on Bill O'Reilly, but
they put her up against a black commentator on CNN.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
That was like, and Camron does what he does?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He don't, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
God, he's the most so hard. Look y'all gotta go
look at this clip of Cameron on.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
See it there he in Vegas City? Like you know
what I'm saying, Like, you know, I don't speak on Like,
I don't really know Diddy, so I wasn't even there.
I was talking about like did you Because the lady
was like, yo, Is this the Diddy you recognize? And
he's like, got here, I ain't zoomed into the photo
to see if I recognize him this Diddy? I mean no,
(35:00):
I you know, I don't condone none of them actions,
but all that like other stuff like I don't I
wasn't there. He ain't doude. I don't know that stuff.
I don't know Diddy like that. She was like, were
you was there a reputation around the industry about his behavior.
He's like, are you really hang with Diddy like that?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Then he SIPs this.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Oh my god, he SIPs this alixir that like in
New York that's like a thing you go get these
like little like uh tincture, little juices that you would sip,
and he goes, I'm sorry, I'm about to get some
cheeks later, so I gotta I gotta, I gotta siff this.
And then he's like, yo, who's the talent agent? Why
(35:41):
you got me on here? Speaking on Diddy?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Just in it a.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Disaster, But but it's so Cameron.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
That's how he be. He forget him on bill o'readdy?
Oh you mad?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Oh you mad? You big mad? That's where we got
that from, you mad bro? It was Cameron on the
bill O'Reilly show. Oh my god, just greatness they got
because let me back up. There was footage from a
hotel where Diddy grossly abuses this young lady. She's trying
to leave her hotel room. She's at the elevator. He
(36:18):
follows her in a towel, no less, just nasty work,
grabs her by the head, throws her down, kicks her,
grabs her back.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Just horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Horrible, this inexcusable. There's time where he sits down, he
throws something at her. Nasty work, diabolical in a towel.
Just hell is your problem? The word is he had
paid that hotel fifty thousand dollars to make sure that
that don't go out. It got out. CNN got it.
I don't know how they got it, but they got it,
and then they aired it. It was just funny because
(36:49):
we were like, I was like, of all the people
to get this in the air, it CNN y'all supposed
to be.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I thought, y'all was.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The serious stuff this is we're doing now we shave
room right, which is hilarious, but the brud needed to
be aired out. It's been going on too long. Black
people decided this year we got time now. He the
next day puts up his apology. That was hard because,
first of all, in his defense, he owned it all.
(37:17):
There's no excuse. Well, I mean, what could you do.
I mean you could be like Trump and be like
that wasn't me, or it y'all don't got the whole picture.
You didn't see the whole situation. He was like, nah,
that's inexcusable. There was nothing I was wrong. I was
the darkest place I've ever been, and essentially like, well,
of course I tried to cover it up because it
was dirty work and I'm ashamed, and yeah, I didn't
want it to get out because it would destroy me
(37:38):
and it's embarrassing and it's wrong and I'm wrong. He
said he's gone to therapy since and tried to make
himself a better person, which you could discuss amongst yourselves
how you feel about that. Maybe he did. I don't
know him personally, and maybe it was like this was
a dark moment. I just don't know personally how you
can get to those moments. Aren't just isolated, like you
(38:01):
build to that type of violence. It happens like my
mom used to say, it's the little foxes. It's the
little things. You know, you don't pull them little weeds earlier.
You don't deal with them little things before they become
big things, and then little things. Is the commentary that
I want to talk to y'all about. As somebody who
understands politics and you being from the hood, you know,
there's some people and I think this was a prime
(38:22):
example of that. They get off on power. Now him
doing a lot of the gay stuff. I'm calling it
that because I'm trying to speak hood. That's not what
I mean by it. But follow me has converted the
term pause to no didty. So if you say something like, oh, yeah, man,
I was banging that fool hard no diddy like you're
it's it's a homophobic phrase. Pause is already homophobic. It's
(38:45):
when you say something that sounds like, you know, sexual
towards another man. You're supposed to be like pause, which
is a visual which is a verbal representation of what's
supposed what was supposed to be happening visually. That's where
pause kind of came from. It's like when you accidentally
say like, nah, I get it. You know, they want
me to cut my message in half and give you
the six inch, but I'm gonna shove the whole foot
long down your throat. You're supposed to like stop and
(39:06):
look at each other with like big eyes, which is
like pause, Like wait what I just say? Did that
sound gay? So pause? Is already that? So now that's
been and I think Mace coined it, which is its
own funniness to be like nah no Diddy. So that's
the homophobicness that's in our culture already. But sit that aside, okay,
because it sucks that. That's the one thing that niggas
really got mad about was the gayness, not all the
(39:29):
other stuff. The gayness. But now that the video came out,
it's like, all right, fellas, like we really got it,
like this some bullshit and in our defense the general understanding,
of course, this isn't the case with everything. If you
like a real nigga, like I keep saying nigga because
I'm trying to get you'll understand the way we talk
like among our neighborhoods, A real man don't put their
(39:49):
hands on no female stuff like that gets you. That
gets you packed out, like you don't put your hands
on no female like you're not a man. It's just
so like there are certain things you don't You don't
touch no kids, and you don't hit no female like
you just we just don't accept that. But the point
I'm getting to here is niggas being like, oh if
(40:10):
you just gay, you gay nigga, like you just on
the gates, like just just you know, all a nigga gay?
You know what I'm saying, Like why you front? Like look, nigga,
you gay?
Speaker 4 (40:17):
You gay?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's like, listen, I don't think you understand what's going
on here. It's power some people. And understand this for
your politics because if you understand this about people and
about a person you talk to, you understand, then you
can understand they moves and what they doing. You get
off on power. So if you know you hold a
person's career in your hands, that you can make or
(40:40):
break them, then it's just it's almost erotic. It's like
it's an arousal to flex that power. Because at that
level of celebrity, you have essentially had sex with every
prom queen in every city. You've had sex with every
beauty pageant winner across the world. You' there is no there,
(41:05):
There is no box you haven't visited. So it's like
a beautiful woman just doesn't do it for you no more.
Like it's the law of diminishing returns a lot of
times with these people like it, don't do it, Like,
there's what's the drive? The drive was to be famous.
I'm already famous, okay. The driver was to bag the
baddest chick. I've bagged the baddest chick and everything, Like
what else is there? What else is it? Money? I'll
never be able to spend the amount of money that
(41:27):
I have now, I'll never be able to do it.
Stuff don't get you off no more. And what gets
them off is power is telling a young man who
produced an amazing track that like, I'm not gonna put
it out unless you suck my homeboys, Dick, and I
just want to watch it happen because I get off
not on not on the homo eroticism, but on the power.
Dudes get off on power, on the fact that I
can say what I want to say to you and
(41:48):
you're not gonna do nothing because you know I'm a
shot caller. You know I'll run the business, you know.
So that turns them on because like, how why would
you put your hands on somebody you love, especially especially
if you're a strong man on a young fee. Why
would you date somebody that much younger than you. It's power?
Power to why else? Because that's what turns that's what
he enjoys. I'm not saying he did he because I
(42:10):
don't know him, But I'm saying this is the type
of behavior that that displays when people what they love
is not the job, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
What they get off on is power.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
And when you understand people like that, what makes them,
what drives them crazy is when they lose power, is
when they can't control the situation. When you become ungovernable,
they can be mad all they won't like. Listen, if
I'm in a room, I write a dope hug for
somebody and he say, hey, we're not gonna do this.
You know what I'm saying, Unless you diddle this dude's booty,
I'm gonna unplug my laptop and leave. And it's fine.
(42:42):
It's okay if I'm not a start black lists me.
I don't need this. So when you remove their oxygen
tank of power, when they when they see that they
don't have it, they either they either black list, you
block you off, or it makes them freakishly angry and
they lose it. If Cassie left, he would lose power,
and he desperately because no, we're still not talking about
(43:04):
why Shine is in prison.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
All go do your googles.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Power. So when you understand that about your politics, about
what's happening across the world, about your Benjamin Nett and
Yahoo's about all these different things happening, like when people
just it's power. That's the drug, that's the aphrodijiac. So
when I had to tell one of these OG's, I
was in this conversation with like one of these all heads,
(43:28):
and I was like, look, nigga, it's not I'm not
I don't think. I don't think he's necessarily gay. First
of all, there's such thing as bisexual, which blew this
all hands mind. It was like, wait, I'm like, yes, nigga,
that's a thing you could be attracted to both. Because
to the old head, if you like men's booties, you gay.
That's just it to them. But I'm like, you can
(43:49):
like a lot. But my argument is he's not attracted
to booties or titties.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
He's attracted to power.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
That's what gets in oflved and then after we explained it,
he was like, dang, yeah, I get it because dudes
go to jail. How do you when you're raping another
man in jail? It's not because you're expressing dominant and
black people. Was done dealing with this. We needed the
nature to heal itself. It's too much at stake right
(44:16):
now for y'all to be active crazy. The next person
that had time this year, which I don't need to
get too deep into, is Kendrick Lamar. We've already done
a three episode, now four episodes about how again it
called to deciding we had time. It's okay, listen. Why
I say this year was the year was because you
(44:37):
have to remember, this is a ten to twelve year
feud and apparently it involved the entirety of rap music. Everybody.
Everybody had a problem with Drake. The only person that
ever says something slightly nice was twenty one Savage and
what he said was like, man, I'm friends with both
of them, which is when you are like, that's the reality.
When you family with everybody like that's your stance you're
(44:59):
supposed to be. You like, look, man, like this ain't
my fight. I'm friends with both of them. I hope
they work it out, you know, and you could be
truthful like Drake do some sideway stuff. I don't know
Kendrick the way I know Drake. I hope they could
work it out and it worked out. We have successfully
identified what we mean by a culture vulture, by a colonizer,
and we decided this year we just not gonna stand
(45:20):
for it. You're not gonna cosplay. And that's so crazy
that like that's essentially what happened. It was like, Okay,
you know what, we got time this year. I'm addressing
the cosplayer, I'm addressing the colonizer. We kicking this shit
out of the culture. And Drake has become jaw Rule.
Apparently we had time this year. Now we'll see how
Drake comes back. Maybe we'll see what he does.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
I don't know how this turns out. I'm just saying
this is a midyear reflection. And lastly, which is what
made me decide to do this whole show, was the
bleach blonde, bad built butcher body next. Okay, now, in
(46:30):
a moment that would probably go down in black Twitter history,
were it still a thing, if Elon didn't break the app.
I mean, this would this would be like at the
level of Meet Me in Temecula the Nigga Navy, which
was really my favorite. Yeah, that was probably my favorite
black Twitter moment. This would go on in there. Do
(46:52):
you guys know what the House Oversight Committee is? It's
actually very important to the messiness of the story and
why black people finally decided to add and how that
is completely manifested in Sweet Sister Jasmine. So when you
become a congressman, congresswoman and you join, when you join
the House of Representatives, you you have to join. You
(47:14):
don't just get to be there. You got to join
a clique. You have to join a committee you know,
which I'm calling a click that serves on that serves
different roles in the government for the actual use of goverment.
Like that's what your job description is. You got to
join a particular committee. So it's like that's the particular
clique that you work with. It's like, look your group project, right,
So there's the finance one. You know. Then you know
(47:35):
they have you've you've heard things like like the Black
Caucus and stuff like that. That's not what I'm talking
about I'm talking specifically about being in the House of
Representatives or a congress person. This one is called the
House Oversight Committee, and the Oversight Committee. Their job is
it's is exactly how it sounds. This is supposed to
be for accountability among each other. Right, they provide oversight
(47:59):
for the actions of elected officials and task force that
have been put together, right, So they're a panel. So
whenever you're seeing fools get grilled by like you seen
on the news, when you're seeing fools get grilled by
the Congress, it's it's this They put together subpoenas. They're
(48:23):
able to say, Yo, you need to come in. You
need to testify as to like you know, what the
hell was going on? Like you need to tell us
what happened was and what your thinking was for why
this was happening. Some of the more historical ones was
around you know, the nine to eleven attacks, right, somebody
had to talk to what was going on with like
(48:44):
the Abu Grand prison, Like how were there any leaks?
Did anybody know what was going on? Stuff around Hurricane Katrina?
Like why is there why did FEMA move so slowly?
Like tell us, tell us what happened here, right, So
there's a lot of things wwe was investigated by them,
Like so you just we just need to know if
(49:05):
it's a national situation, is there really a case here?
And we could subpoena people to come talk to the
government to just for us to know the people Michael
Cohen had to sit in front of this is the Senate,
this is the House Oversight Committee for us to know,
like how do we keep all this stuff accountable? Like now,
like everything else, it's become freakishly partisan. If you can,
(49:29):
as your party control who's in charge of what in
the committee, then you get to pick the cases and
how those come now right now, the majority in the
Oversight Committee is Republican. The guy that sits as the
chair is a man named James Comer from Kentucky who
(49:50):
really a substitute teacher, looking head ass like bruhs just
everything he feels like he's he got dad jokes just
like right out on the tip of his tongue at
all times. But I'm gonna save the roaster for later anyway. Oh,
another thing I could say too about the the Senate
(50:11):
or the House Overside Committee is like on the sixteenth
of May, like so this just happened, right, They are
holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for
refusal to comply with any subpoena issued by the Committee
of Oversights.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
So this just happened. So they get the right to.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Do stuff like that, like, Yo, we subpoenaed you. You saying
no about it? Like we get to hold you in content,
which is what this meeting we're about to talk about. Now.
The meeting got off late because a lot of the
old Trump heads was up in New York trying to
defend you know, his cheeto seal in his situation. So
they was up in New York. The rest of the
homies was on this City House I keep calling it Senate,
(50:49):
this House Overside committee, talking about can we hold Merrick
Garland in content? So you're supposed to go back and
forth about like are we down with this? Now? Enter
Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, if you know her, which you should,
I mean, she is a fully she's the fully evolved
pokemon of white woman privilege. Like she's the I'm sorry, guys,
(51:15):
she is the avatar of this. She worked the system
to the system work for her because I really, honestly
don't really know what she believes or feels. I just
know she's the queen of the wild takes extreme maga Republican,
like to the point of where what she say don't
make sense, like this ain't even conservative, this is just like,
(51:36):
I don't even know what you're talking about. She has
very little decorum because if you and this is just factual,
because if you go back to the last two State
of the Union's address, she booing, she popping off, she's
interrupting the dude, like just she pop off at all times.
She's looking for the hot takes. She's always looking for
(51:58):
a zinger. A lot of times she be incredibly conspiracy
theory pilled, but she pop off because she got the
back end of the big Homy y'all know what I
mean by the big hom and people a lot of
times let hers live because she famous like she's I mean,
she's hot right now. She's like, let's be real, like
in the world, she hot right now, and she's been
hot for a while. Remember the whole fifty dig ya
(52:19):
thing I talked about a long time ago, and I
was like, none of y'all counted for Margie Taylor Green,
the girl knows how to get a headline, and how
she does this is in these meetings that are supposed
to be rather boring and procedural. She pops off, it's
been real late they at this meeting, and she continue
to interrupt the meeting, asking questions that really ain't got
nothing to do what we talking about? So she out
(52:41):
of nowhere asked this question of the panel, are any
of the Democrats employing Judge Marshaan's daughter? Who is Judge
Marshaan doesn't matter for the story because it don't matter
for the hearing either. Now you hear what obviously is
a black woman, which which you can safely assume is
Jasmine Crockett off camera because this is all this is
(53:02):
all recorded because it has to be so it's off camera.
You hear what is clearly a black woman say, please
tell me what this has to do with with Mary Garland,
essentially like half of what the hell are you talking about?
And then you hear, which is the funniest one of
the second funniest thing in this clip, is you hear
(53:23):
James Comer. Remember I told you substitute teacher head ass
like goes? Is she a porn star?
Speaker 3 (53:30):
Like what and people it's all like is he advising it?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
What is she talking about? Like you can hear the
sound of blackness being like, what is this bitch?
Speaker 2 (53:41):
What?
Speaker 1 (53:41):
What do you know what we're here for? Does she
know what we're here for?
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Like just like can you believe this?
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Half? Like what is you talking about? So, but she's
on mike because it's just like, what's happening right now? What?
So that was strike one. So then Marjorie pops off
with her finger. Oh, oh you know, do we know
what you do? You know what you're here for? She goes, no,
do you know what you're here for? Then she makes
her fatal mistake. I think your fake eyelashes is getting
in the way. And then that's when the gavel hits
(54:09):
old order Order Order, So they like, mister chairman, can
you get a hold of your community?
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Can you get your girl? Because she talking out.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
Her neck and the whole room's like, oh, like, yo,
what is why are you popping off? And Marjorie real
proud of herself, like oh boom roasted, like she proud
of herself at this moment.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
It's kind of funny watching.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
All the clerks come and wild the guy that's supposed
to be in charge.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
He needed to check the playbook.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Like wait, can you are you allowed to say this?
Can you talk like that? Do we need to strike this?
I wait, what are the rules right now? Like the
nigga confused cuz cause he like, I don't know what
we supposed to do right now?
Speaker 4 (54:51):
What? Right?
Speaker 1 (54:52):
And then the whole girl, the hall girl, Jenny from
the block, you know what I'm saying. The hall girl,
AOC is like hot, jumps in and is like, yo, hey,
do we got.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Like a point of order?
Speaker 1 (55:03):
Like? Yo, do we got a point of order? And
then one white boy kind of steps in and he's
asking about finance and stuff, which really was him trying
to get his bars off too, and AOC you hear
her in the back like, yo, that's that's disgusting. It's
absolutely disgusting. She goes, you know what, actually, I have
a point of order like a person who actually understand
how the rules work. She finally started talking. She was like, listen,
(55:24):
I removed my point of order is that the parliamentarian
strikes the words of Congresswoman Marjor Taylor Green because that
is disgusting. You not allowed to talk about somebody's body
like this man strike this from the record. She like,
that's absolutely disgusting, Marley Treyley Treen popping off like oh
are your feelings hurt?
Speaker 3 (55:42):
All like just completely out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
But again, stay with me now, most of the time
we ain't got time for none of this. So when
she's like, oh are your feelings hurt? Ao was like,
oh girl, baby, girl, Like basically like, girl, you listen,
if you only knew I just did this show. This
is a side note, but it's very important. I just
did this this show at Joseph Harp Correctional Facility President Okay,
(56:08):
see performed out there, and I was talking to the
brus about about having inner piece, about like what's going
on in your own head and that you know you
deserve to have that type of piece and whatever work
you gotta do, man, I encourage you to do that
work right to get that piece inside your head because
a lot of times people see us and they think,
and especially you, because y'all are here, they think y'all crazy.
And I'm like, you only know what I tell you
(56:31):
if you like you don't know what I don't say,
Like if y'all knew, if y'all knew what I was
keeping on myself. Oh baby, you wouldn't. You don't know
half of the crazy. So essentially, what AOC is saying
is like, oh, baby girl, oh if you only knew
how much I hold back. Like look and right now,
(56:53):
who she was talking who who Margie was talking about
was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She was talking about her black woman,
young black lady. She was talking about her. But AOC
jumps in and was like, hell, oh hell no, right,
and the white boys still can't figure out how to
get ordered right, which is so funny to me. But again,
(57:13):
none of them can control Marjorie. She do whatever she won't.
But yeah, AOC like, listen, baby, don't even play like,
don't play with me. You have to understand for a
person of color, if a woman of color, I'm gonna
say specifically black or Latina, if she say don't play
with me, right, you need to stop. Kendrick had a
song on Damn that said stop playing with me for
(57:33):
I turn you to a song he's talking about Drake,
stop playing with me. That for black people, that's your
last warning when when white people say you're on thin
ice bucko that's that is the black version of that.
Stop playing with me. That means you understand what it means.
So Ao's like, hey, don't play right. So somebody seconds
(57:56):
the motion that like I second the motion that those
words are struck, and the people running it is still confused.
That's the funniest part. They looking at documents like, wait,
what are we supposed to do? How do we do
this right? They have lost all control of this. Mug
Alc is like, I'm not having it. That is unacceptable.
We're striking that. That is no way in the world
(58:17):
that's going in the record. But they're like, but they
don't know how to do it. So they're like, oh okay,
So they get the director. The leaders get the directors
like do you agree to strike your words from the record?
Margie Taylor Green was like I get like, I still
have four minutes of twenty second, which, as a side note,
was like, nigga, you've been talking this whole time and
none of it has been your time, so what are
you talking about? Right?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
But forget that part.
Speaker 1 (58:39):
She goes, yeah, yeah, I agree to strike it. ALC's like,
you need to apologize you were out of line, and
she's like I ain't apologizing, Like no, if they could cuss,
it had been like, no, bitch, you need to apologize,
Like I can hear those words in there. It's not
happening there because somebody trying to be a professional. And
then Margie Taylor.
Speaker 3 (58:58):
Was like, why don't you debate me?
Speaker 1 (59:00):
AOC was like, uh, it's evan and you ain't got
the intelligence for that, like and they, and so this
is all happening while while the white boys is still
trying to get ordered. Hey, like I haven't even recognized you.
Speaker 4 (59:10):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
Right, so all this has happening. They don't know how
to work. They don't know how the laws work, they
don't know the rules. It's too confusing. We never been
in this situation. So he finally he's like, okay, okay, everybody, okay,
calm down, misscreen, we got two points of order. Everybody
popping off. We want to strike AOC's word. We wanna
stark margin tar. We got two points of order, y'ata.
It's like, okay, everybody, every dight calmed down. Everybody, everybody
(59:31):
shut up, shut up, shut up, shut u shut up.
Do you agree humanimously to strike your words Margie Taylor Green. Yes,
but I'm not apologizing these people be heard off words.
He's like, ma'am, oh my god, do you agree to
just strike the word? That's all I need from you,
and then here go to order.
Speaker 3 (59:45):
We're gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (59:46):
Then we're gonna give you. You're gonna agree to this,
and we're gonna give you four minutes. She's like, okay, word.
Then you hear Jasmine speak up, which I bet you
y'all listen, if I could only have been sitting next
to her at this time, let me tell you how
hard we be laughing right now. So she says, my
request for you right now is to just take a
second and do your googles about miss Jasmine Bona Fides
(01:00:11):
to just know how unbelievably intelligent this woman is. Now, okay,
I have a point of order. They was like, who
this jazz? Okay, Miss Crockett, she said, I just need
some clarity. I just want to know if someone were
to start talking about a bleach blonde, bad built, butch body,
(01:00:33):
that that would be a point of contention, Like, am
I allowed to say that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Jake's cobra go?
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
But what now?
Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Listen, First of all, the alliteration number two. It's an
alliteration that was probably off the head that she probably
just thought of right there like that. Because the asylum
that black people was raised in. If there's anything we
do well, is we gonna roast the hell out of you.
You have no chances when it comes to getting roasted
(01:01:09):
with us. We are just too good at this. This
is our You have to understand the way we was
because we get it from every angle. You get roasted
from your cousins younger than you, You get roasted from
your mama, your aunties, your uncles, your granddaddy, your grandma.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Every We we know how to clap back.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
There is never a situation where I'm not gonna figure
out a way to clap back at you.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
We are too good at this.
Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
And again, what I keep trying to say to you
when we say because AOC started it like don't play,
is you don't understand what I'm not saying to you.
You have no idea because of the angry black woman thing.
It's the same thing that happens as an angry black
man because of that's that stereotype. The amount of control
we have to have, the amount of biting of tongue
(01:01:57):
because when you get to pop off as much you want,
but when I defend myself or when I pop off,
I'm an angry black person. But sometimes we got time.
Sometimes it's time for you to learn a lesson. You
remember the fade in the water, the Montgomery, Alabama situation.
We had time that day. There are times that we
have time that is like, no, you know what this
(01:02:19):
is gonna stop today. You gonna you're gonna stop playing
with me. So that's what seriously has happening. But she
does it. Like I said, how black we can be
very unserious about serious things and be serious about it.
So what she gonna say is like, Okay, you got
an issue with my eyelashes. You don't understand how hot
I could get on your girl. I could cook you
(01:02:40):
so bad right now. You don't even know like there
was a be missing obviously, because we know how to
control ourselves.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
But your little tail. If we're gonna start talking about bodies,
and they were like whoa whoa you out of?
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Like she's like, look, I'm just trying to understand cause
she gets to talk about she gets to talk about eyelashes.
I just want to know what's appropriate or not cauz,
So do I need to apologize? So I should apologize
about that? Right?
Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Is that the decorum? Is that what we're doing here?
Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
So essentially it's like, listen, ma'am. And this is the
lesson that I cannot tell you how often in every household,
if you a real one and you got children, you've
had to tell your younglings. Do not dish out what
you cannot take. If you can't take it, don't give it,
(01:03:30):
because oh I'm a serve it full for you. So
do not dish out what you can't take. Black people decided.
You know, I'm about done with you. You coming into
my playing field right now. You not allowed to pop
off no more because if you pop off again, I'm
gonna roast you even worse. You think I'm worried about
these white boys, ma'am, stop playing with me. And you
(01:03:53):
see the senator sitting next to.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Sitting next to James Cover.
Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
Trying not to laugh, laugh, ho, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
But then the white lady gets to the white lady
get to be like listen, calm down, calm down. She
get to call us the angry one, and she's like no, no, no, no, no,
you want to smoke, trying to get some clarification. Can
we talk like this is we allowed to because you
wasn't apologizing. You don't think you're wrong. So I'm just
trying to understand if this where we go and if
we're gonna get down, we're gonna get am and again
(01:04:30):
the white boys the lost control and Margie Screen is
still popping off like calm down, I can't hear you
of your anger. She's still popping off about AOC and
then AOC come back and like, hold up. I moved
to strike her words a second time because of the
derogatory thing she's saying about a second person. Listen, black
and brown unity out this mug.
Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
That's how we roll, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Listen, we got time this year, so they can't even
get the whole thing. And AOC gotta explain the rules
to the guy that's supposed to be a charge. She's like, listen,
I know you saying that she recognized for her four
minutes and twenty seconds. The problem is she can't talk
yet because you don't know the rules. There is a
motion to strike her words the second ones. She's still
popping off about me that needs to get struck before
(01:05:14):
you can recognize her.
Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
You have to acknowledge this. How come? Why am I
explaining the rules to you?
Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Usually you just let pettiness be pettiness because we keep
our eyes on the prize. But sometimes you gotta pop
out and show me. We got time this year and
it's only this is only June, and I cannot be
more proud. How these black and brown women are showing up.
So let's just see man. Hope hopefully we keep this
(01:05:40):
same energy. You know, this is the look.
Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
We got time this year politics. Y'all. All right, now,
don't you hit stop on this pod. You better listen

These people is not smarter than you. We'll see y'all
next week.
Al Zone Media. All right, it's the most wonderful time
of the year for podcasters in that season of the
time of the year is rerun time. Oh yes, especially
if you do like a weekly good lord, a daily podcast.
(00:24):
Got dog, so glad I could run a rerun. So
the rerun we're running is the State of the Blackness,
Part one, because next week will be the full year
State of the Blackness, because it's been quite a year
for black people anyway. It is to Malay season. So
(00:49):
I am going to leave this recording office, this little
in the back of the crib where I record the pod,
and I am going to gorge myself on to my
list because I'm in Los Angeles and my wife is
(01:13):
from Mexico.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Deuces.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You know, sometimes you just wake up and choose violence.
There are so many sayings that have because of the
Internet and specifically black Twitter, which will be the content
of the episode following this one. But wake it up
(01:52):
and choose violence again as a black saying that you
know where we say what we mean most of the time,
we choose peace to stay on point and again follow follow,
follow the way that our slang works. This is very
important because it's all connected you stay woke. I know
y'all Inn stole the term, but what we mean by
(02:13):
that is aware of the ways that you are being oppressed,
Like don't fall asleep at the wheel the way the
white people say, just let somebody else steer the ship.
Like you got to stay awake. You gotta know what's
happening around you. Stay aware, stay informed, and you stay
on point. You be about your paper, you be about
your business. You understand. So a lot of the stuff
we talk about is we mean to be like yo,
(02:33):
you stay on mission, like you don't let nobody shake
you off mission. Don't let these people's foolishness detract you
from the goal, from the mission, from the elevation. You
do stuff for the culture, for the family, you know,
and you choose peace. You choose that. But sometimes, as
Kendrick say, you got to pop out and show niggas
these sayings, these ways we have as a black community,
(02:57):
they're all connected. We understand them all because they all
from the same cultural experience. So all of our phrases,
they're connected, but they're connected by the connected tissue of
our shared experience of our culture. I hope this is
makeing sense to you. These are things that you just
I don't if you if you are like us again,
like Kendrick said, I would not have to explain these
(03:18):
things because you would just know. And it's not This
isn't a slight, this is just a reality. There are ways. Again,
this is gonna be this part I'm gonna I should
probably say for again the next week about black Twitter.
But it's for context for you to understand that, like listen,
we are. The way we communicate in a lot of
ways is we can be deeply serious about very unserious
(03:39):
things and be dead serious about really unseerious stuff and
never lose sight as to which is what and how
they're both happening at the same time, and we truly
understand which is which, and nobody's confused. But if you
aren't confused, we understand. I tweeted this once and on
(04:00):
my own girls was like, man, my my sister's daughter's
hamster died. And my response was like, oh man, who
did the body? I don't have time to explain to
you why that is so funny, but everybody black would
get it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
The reason I do this preamble is because I want
to do a couple episodes around Juneteenth, you know, which
is at this point coming up about blackness. I think that,
especially with the celebration of Juneteenth. I think that, like,
I can't believe I haven't done a full episode on
what Juneteenth is already anyway. I guess partially because realizing
(04:38):
like I needed to know who my audience was, and
it was just like there's a lot of not black
people listening. So I was like, Oh, we need to
make sure that y'all, y'all really know what's you know.
I gotta I gotta some things I gotta say to you,
you know. I mean, sometimes I explain stuff that's black
just out of solidarity with other black people, where I'm
just like, dude, like this is crazy, right, it's so fun.
Other times I'm like realizing that, like, oh, you you
(04:58):
don't know this about our culture. Okay, so let me
lay it out for you. So this is me laying
it out and also celebrating It's both blackness. But there's
something special about twenty twenty four that for some reason
we have decided as a culture and a community that
we just have time this year. What do I mean
by that, Oh, we got time this year? Like again,
(05:20):
usually you don't wake up and choose violence. You got
to be on your mission and you ain't got time
for no foolishness. On time to be messy. Messiness is
for the weekend, like we you know, we'll do that later.
Like if you just gonna be messy us right now,
I got stuff to do on time for your foolishness.
This year, however, for some reason, we all decided that
we got time, and that has manifested itself in ways
(05:46):
for which we have ducked with things in house. There
were things we needed to talk about amongst ourselves, and
then there was some foolishness that we were just done
dealing with.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
My theory is there might be something to the fact
that I think, as Black Americans we just understand the
reality of our two presidential options and prepping ourselves for
the four years we about to experience, and there was
foolishness that we stood for early on. Then we ain't
realize the depth for which the Caucasidy was gonna show itself.
I think we was a little unprepared for that. Unprepared
(06:18):
in the sense that we thought that y'all had some
sense there might have been the semblance of progress. Maybe
we was maybe things were not like they used to be.
Maybe there was, and then the white lash happened. We
was like, oh, oh, it's what we knew. We were
hoping it was something else, but noah, it's what we knew.
(06:38):
And it just seems like this year we decided, you
know what, we got time, We're gonna deal with this.
We said what we said, you're gonna get this work.
So today, at the six month mark of the year,
I think it's time to reflect on and look forward
to how black people have decided in twenty twenty four.
We got time the politics, y'all. Now, before we get
(07:10):
into this, let me hit y'all to with the weekly
roundup of We'll see it's.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Kind of like this bull look is like this.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Bull look is like this all right, So it's like this,
you know, the Hunter Biden case jumps off and I
shouldn't be smiling because the testimony went out and essentially.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Hunter just ratchet like he.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Was sad about his brother, and the niggas started to
do a crack like it's not funny. Okay, the man
got himself a gun, got yourself a gun, and and
had it for eleven days till this girl threw it out.
Apparently it was never loaded, and he, according to this case,
(08:10):
lied about being on drugs and illegally got a gun. Now,
according to the defense, he had a signed paper that
he had gone through rehab and he was supposedly sober
at the time, right that, and then you know, relapsed after.
But either way, dog, y'all, they done dragged. They brought
(08:32):
his ex girl out, his brother's girl out, his kids out,
being like, nah, homie bro had problems, and they was like, look,
you said it in your own book, you had problems.
You gotta you gotta, you gotta run this fade big
dog now.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Poem, it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And I don't feel bad for nobody rich kid, but
like I do feel bad. It's that he like, damn
I Dodn't I done mess this up with my daddy?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Like guys, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Now, Normally in cases like this, people bring up the
gun charge as far as like you illegally attained a
gun when that gun was involved in some other crime,
like if that gun had a body on it, if
that gun was involved in some sort of robbery or something,
(09:34):
if some sort of crime was admitted on the gun.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So usually just add this thing to you add this.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Type of charge to the docative charges that are already
there to just kind of like you know, up the
anti ad the sassa to the tacos. Usually this type
of charge ain't the thing. But usually we not talking
about the president's son, you feel me. And not only that,
we talk about the president the current president's son brought
(10:01):
with a federal case.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You know what I'm saying, when his daddy in charge.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You feel me. So it's a lot going on right here. This,
I mean, you could read this however you want. This
could be a sacrificial like this could be like a
sacrificial lamb, like I gotta throw my son to the wolves.
This could be you know because in any other case,
like you look at Trump, Trump out of way of
like getting all he either get the stuff thrown out
(10:29):
or or get the joint delayed till February thirtieth, You
feel me like he figured out how to get out
of all this stuff, and it just kind of it
just kind of to me seemed like Biden is your
run of them or Hunter Biden, your runn of this,
your run of the mill rich kids you know who
(10:55):
ain't figure out how to hit the lick as good
as the other rich kids, because the Trump and didn't
is they didn't figure out how to use their richness.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You you just keep.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Messing up and if and in his defense, it might
be honestly because when he lost his brother, he just
lost his mind. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Next.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Look like Israel got fux hostages, they got full hostages back,
that's beautiful. Were glad that y'all home and it shot
two hundred and seventy People on the way out were like.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Come on, fail got dog man? You what do you.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I don't even know how to just.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You had your You had your hostages, dude, like just
you had them like you their home once you shooting
for never mind. And lastly, old Biden. You know, one
of the first episodes I've done on iHeart was called
(12:06):
Joe Biden from Long Beach, which got me in a
little bit in trouble with some actual like gang members
because they was like, you saying, here crip And I'm like,
I could see how you would say that, because most
Long Beach, if you black cripping. What I'm saying is
he is no different than Trump, just saying it nicer
(12:31):
and what you find out about a lot of like
like take like a Vince Staples, like there's no question
about his certification. Take a Snoop Dazz. These are some
of the Like they're the most likable dudes. They're just
(12:51):
super likable, intelligent, fun loving guys that are murderers. Like
you can't like, there is no question about the gang
banging in like they're not safe men, they're just chilling.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Like you know.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So what I'm saying is like, don't don't let the
fact that they chilling fool you, like you know. So,
what Joe is doing at the border with his new
immigration policy is the weirdest. It's there's there is no
(13:27):
difference in his new policy. Then what Trump would say,
The only difference is he not calling him vermit. But
the policy is, Hey, we're gonna stop accepting any asylum
seekers and we're gonna send y'all back within the next
four days because we got too many of you. Y'all
(13:49):
gotta stay out of here. We don't know what to
do with you. You gotta go, like, we're not accepted,
no more asylums. Ye what, that's what Trump says, No,
it's different, niggas the same anyway, we'll unpack that much later.
Now let's get to this story.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Blackness, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like I said, this is a reflection on the past
six months where we are the state of the blackness
address if you will, and just with the Queen, Congresswoman
Jasmine Crockett with her dropping to call this alliteration just cooking,
Marjorie Taylor, green bleach, blonde, bad built, butch body just
(14:54):
out which I can't even say it without laughing. First
of all, it's the perfect example of us being unserious
and serious at the same time. That moment, which we
will build to by the end of this episode, is
exactly what I mean. Her display of the sophistication, the
sophistic ratchetness of what it means to be a black
(15:15):
professional and why I will say and shout on the
rooftop that our double consciousness by cultural understanding of what
it means to be professional, how we can speak the
king's tongue, how to play respectability politics, and how to
not be one to be played with because we are
(15:37):
from where we're from and we said what we said.
How that is displayed in this one clip is again
my foundational premise, which is we are more equipped than
anyone else in this world to do the jobs that
we do.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Because this was perfect.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
It was again black people showing you, oh we got time.
I'm done with all this. I got time. So it's
gonna culminate with that. But what I want to start
rewind the clock back to a couple moments in this
year that has just made me realize, like, yeah, we
just decided this year that we got time. So let's
start first with how the year started. Club Sha Sha
(16:17):
and Kat Williams. Okay, the year kicked off with a
bang with this interview from comedian Kat Williams, who just
now released a Netflix comedy special which I'm gonna lie
to you kind of mid wasn't as funny as I
was hoping it would be. That being said, this interview
was one of the funniest things I've ever heard ever
in my life because Kat decided he was going to
spill all the tea. To understand why this is so
(16:40):
important is you kind of have to understand who Shannon
Sharp is and what he represents to us as a culture. Now.
Shannon Sharp former NFL player, then he was a sports
NFL commentator. He started his YouTube podcast called Club sha sha.
He's got cognac in it. It's listened to us called
sha sha. Now, black people are very it's a very
(17:01):
normal like other Latinos will call the cardino, a very
normal cardino that you would give our our children, where
we just say they names twice you cut their names.
Kai Kai says, like, that's a normal thing that we
do with our children. It's just it's a it's a
term of envieriment again, a cardinho, like if you speak Spanish,
like there's no the translation is not direct, but you
(17:22):
know what I mean when I say it's a cardigno. Right, So,
and y'all, you know, white people should make fun of
it with like honey booboo like okay, but y'all don't
understand like bubo like calling our kids stuff like that.
First of all, bubo is is doodoo like it's but
it's also a petna is anyway, it's complicated, so Saysha
is already a throwback to just very just blackness. Shannon
(17:43):
is sharp in the way that he enunciates, the way
that he articulates his facial expressions, the points he makes,
even the depth of knowledge that he has about things.
But yet it's said in such a country manner. Is
he's collectively our uncle because it's so authentic. He's actually
(18:07):
very well informed, very curious, knows what he's doing, super professional.
But he never lost. And and I don't know him
well enough to know, but everybody else that knows him says, no,
that's real. That's really him. The you know him with
him would have black and mild and some and some
crown royal in it in you know, slapping spades, playing domino,
siping cognac like he is. This is our uncle, all
(18:30):
of it, like everything was so so his character, not
in a derogatory term, but just in the person with
the persona the person we're seeing on the screen, whether
it's authentic to him or not, which again I believe
it is. He is so familiar to us. That's unk.
He unk, like you know what I'm saying, Like unk
is obviously short for uncle, which is just again it's
(18:52):
a it's a term of respect we give to older
black men who aren't necessarily our fathers, right or not,
like the in between, like a big homie or a
big cousin, you know what I'm saying, Like a big homye.
A lot of times is a little closer to your age,
but like your unk, like he a little older, you
know what I'm saying. Like you know a few years ago,
it would be like the dude with the you know,
with the bluetooth with the with the funny looking bluetooth
(19:14):
in his ear, like he just oh, heah, what's up, chuck,
Like the Spice Adams character. Like now that person has
gotten a little older, a little more older. Like our
unks now are again more like Shannon Sharp. They little
more style, They got a little They don't dress like seventies,
you feel me, Like they dress the way he dressed.
He a little younger. He still be outside, he still
be courtside, you know what I'm saying. But like y'all
seen them clips where he looked back at homeboy that
(19:35):
really wanted to wanted to smoke with him where he like,
I'm still willing to. I'll dance with you, young boys.
I'm still willing to get down. Like my knees are
still okay. You know. The old heads, like the Spice
Adams characters, they needs don't they needs ain't working, you
know you spraying the juke on. These boys are still
in the club a little older than us. So that's unk.
You feel me right that the girls they bringing around
(19:58):
probably got a got grown children, you all saying, and
maybe like a one or two year old grand baby.
But mama still Grandma's still bad. She's still kind of young.
You know, she's still bad. She's still out party. That's
who unck bring around. Like, so he already that to us.
And then you add in Kat Williams. Now Kat Williams
a legendary black comic, but he loved odd. He always
(20:21):
has been a little odd. He decided to absolutely eviscerate
every other black comic short of a fuel and he
was like, you gonna not disrespect Bernie Max's name. You
gonna not disrespect D. L. Hugeley's name because he like
they put in the work. But he's like, I want
all the smoke. I ain't got no respect for no,
(20:42):
Steve Harvey, for no, said the entertainer. I'm saying that
Kevin Hart's an industry plan. Like he just lit everybody up.
And then then he talked about faise on Love, which
was gave us the quote of what I thought was
gonna be the quote of the year, where he said
nobody knew that you know a minor was coming yet,
but at the time when he said you have a
strange alliance with losers and that is not like you,
(21:06):
he was talking about the fact that like Faisan who
played Big Worm and Friday has never had no specials
and just never that he because he's his point is
the man's not that funny.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This happened and he was.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Making all these kind of like wild outlandish claims, and
then video started surfacing where he was basically saying said
being stealing jokes this whole time. He stole the whole
show from Mark Curry, who we all loved, from Michelle
called Hagem and mister Cooper, and then all these clips
of said the entertainer actually ripping off jokes and it
(21:41):
was like wow, like wait a minute, none of us
ever thought of that. And then he's making claims about
him being able to run like a four point four
forty yard dash, and then the video come out like
that man really running that fast, and it was like
nobody like just he wanted all. He came hot and
(22:01):
Uck couldn't keep up with him. So it set the
tone for the entire year. And sometimes like people say,
like people say this all like again in the black spaces, like, yo,
we blaming this whole year on Cat Williams. Cat Williams
was like, I'm spilling all the tea. I'm ready to
be messy. Kat decided he had time and he's out,
and I will argue this. He definitely set the tone
(22:23):
for the rest of the year. Now, I can't blame
everything else on him, but I tell you what, that
was prophetic. We should have known this year black people
have decided we got time and we're gonna deal with
our own here. There needed to be a reckoning with that.
Now what he said about Kevin Hart, I don't know.
I'm not I don't know that part of the industry,
but I do know that we was like, yo, this
(22:46):
is a much better way of starting this year than
we expected to or you know, cause were like, look,
there a potential for January sixth, Part two, an electric
Boogoaloo January sixth. The potential is here. So he was
already on edge, and I think that that might be
a part of why we was like, all right, look, no,
we're not playing around. So Kat Williams set us off.
(23:07):
The next thing was Sean p Diddy, Puffy Combs, my
GoF next, all right, we're back. Let me back up
(23:43):
a second to the me too movement. Now, remember, first
of all, me too movement black woman who first coined
the phrase. Just make sure let's remember that, because again blackness.
The discussion among my world was the fact that me
(24:04):
too hadn't touched hip hop yet. And when it does,
my lord, that was you know, around the time that yeah,
like me to first kicked out, kicked off with the
you know, Harvey Weinstein and came with everybody that you know,
dropped off, the Matt Lawers of the world, all this
stuff that was about powerful white dudes in corporate situations,
(24:26):
you know, Bill Cosby, of course, R Kelly, of course.
But those were ones that like, yeah, we kind of
already knew that's blackness, but I hadn't hitten hip hop yet.
One could argue that like R Kelly, but R Kelly
A's an R and B singer that's not specifically hip
hop influence, is not hip hop okay. But because of
the way that misogyny has played such a huge role
(24:48):
in rap music and the history of how black women
have bore the brunt of the the emotional and spiritual
heavy lifting within the black community have been the first
(25:09):
to protect black men, most of the time to their
own detriment. Don't. I try not to get into the
battle of the sexes. But it's just that's just the reality.
This isn't to drag black men. Listen, that's not what
I'm saying. I'm talking specifically about the experience of black women,
whether we're looking at Megan thee Stallion situation, which the
(25:30):
reality is, the more that we understand about kind of
what happened, she lied, of course out front, but she
lied to protect Tory as in Tory Lanes, because she knows,
like all black women in Memoriam, that if you turn
black men over to them white people, they not gonna
(25:50):
show them no mercy. And Megan from the streets, so
like you know, you just don't. You don't snitch on
the homies. You deal with it in house.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
This point I'm making as far or is like the
historical precedence and trauma of saying if we pop off
about about these black men, they're gonna lynch him. They're
gonna deal with this in a way that's gonna cause
more damage to our community. So a lot of times
black women in hopes to protect our children, to protect
(26:20):
our community, and even to protect them is like they
they take on, they take on a lot of the suffering. Also,
we get so beat up as black men when we
go outside by this dominant white culture, this white supremacist culture.
We get beat up. By the time we go home,
we ain't got nothing left, and who's nursing us to
health and a lot of times taking up brunt of
(26:41):
us not being able to express ourselves fully when we outside,
like we we I'm saying we because I'm talking about
black men. We take it out on our ladies, super
you know, fraudulent, coming at them sideways, finding our our manliness,
our masculinity, in our violence and in our sexual prowess.
Like this is just this is just historical Black experience.
(27:03):
This is kind of just what it's been like. This
is one of our maladies. Now, of course I'm speaking
in a type of generality, but understand that like these
are some of the pieces of trauma and PTSD that
kind of sits in our bones and sits in our community.
That being said, when we make our music, there is
an understanding a lot of times that look, we just
(27:24):
out here that the music is the escape. Sometimes it's
the expression of what we're going through, and other times
it's the escape or the hope of what we wish
we were going through. Like when you take like the
old school early hip hop rappers that were like Shaddy
Coop the Vial back then lay Back Coop the Vial,
it's like, you don't these brothers lived in the projects.
(27:44):
They didn't have they were driving o Coop the Vill's nigga.
They was on the bus, the gold chains and all
that stuff like this is us finding ways to find value.
We understood in that sense that like Yo Black Memo
was a part of this. Nowack women expressing their sexuality
and and they're they're expressing themselves, whether it's twerking or
(28:06):
the booty shaking and stuff like that. Like back down South,
they used to call it pussy popping. That was just
a name, that was just what it was called, right,
you know, and then he turned into the term twert
But like black women expressing themselves, you know, whether it's
salt and pepper being like very sexualized for jj fad like,
they expressed themselves just like everybody else does. And that
was again an understanding in hip hop. But then we
(28:28):
started then It got weird because there was still a
type of misogyny in the concept of hip hop. Bitches
ain't shit but hose and tricks, right, like not send
suck that deck, It ain't no fun if the hommies
came ha none and girls singing along now, granted with
an understanding that like you bet, and I wish nigga
(28:48):
would say that to me, like you bet, not actually
ever say that to me? Yeah, like the fact that
like Rhap City just put an album out and she's like, look,
let me tell you why I'm not in your top
five argument. It's because I don't have we make we'd
like everybody else. There are other they're seventy cents to
the dollar in hip hop, like women who are rapping,
Like why why isn't Latifa, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown MC light,
(29:14):
Why are they not in the arguments for Mount Rushmoorris.
You know people talking about Nikki now NICKI owe her
career to Little Kim, Like, let's be real, there would
be no Megan's, there would be none of that. It
would be no Cardi B's if it wasn't for somebody
like a Little Kim.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And then you take rhaps City.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Who for me, I'm like, oh, I don't know nobody
rapping like rhap City right now. Like there's again she
The argument is she is right, she should be in
the top five. We still have a problem with Massogi.
We still have a problem with patriarchy. We still don't
understand this. That being said, it was understood and kind
of like nobody's saying the quiet thing out loud. I
(29:49):
feel like Charlamage and the God may have brought this
up once that like wait till Me two hits the
hip hop community. It's because the music industry, specifically in
hip hop, it's some weird, weird stuff that goes on,
and a lot of it has to do with in
my mind power. Before I get to that, there was
(30:10):
an interview with IRV Gotti or no, with Ashanti about
IRV Gotti, you know, over at Murder Inc. And some
of this just horrible things he would say to her,
like I made every nigga in the world. Won't a
fuck you mind? I made you You're not even that cute,
like just trash, just just things you would never say
to a person, like unless you're a pimp. And then
some of these niggas since they were kingmakers, just like
(30:31):
Harvey Weinstein and them, like they were untouchable. You couldn't
there was nothing you could say because if they blacklisted you,
you was done. But finally somebody spoke of and it
was Cassie p Ditty's girl, who was, first of all,
is twenty years younger than him, So there's that right.
But that being said, Cassie brought the indictment. But in
(30:51):
the indictment, it brought a cascade of so many other
things to the point to which Diddy's house was rated.
Now this happened again because black people decided we had
time today. This happened at the same time that Beyonce
dropped the country out and we was like, listen country
black too.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I'm tired of letting you, y'all because we got.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Tired this year. I'm tired of letting y'all think that
this your music. No, no, no, no, no, that's black too.
Beyonce said, I'm reclaiming my time for all of us
country music. Black do your homework. I got time. I'm
making an album and I'm proving to y'all that's not
your music. And look, Higo, one hundred other black country
(31:36):
artists for you to check out who been putting in work.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I'm here for them.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
This is all happening while we realizing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
With p Diddy, that that man was whooping her tail.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And what was so interesting about that is, like Diddy,
he was the worst kept secret. Everybody knew this, you
just don't say nothing about it. Black people decided they
had time this year. I don't know, it's somewhere in
the spirit, like we heard the spirit talking. Ezekio saw
the wheel my nigga man, that is a Black church reference.
What was the church reference? But like Ekyo Ezekielo saw
the wheel way up in the middle of the air.
(32:10):
Ezekiel saw the wheel way in the middle of the air.
If you know, you know now in this moment, it
was not only what he was doing to her, but
what was happening in his relationship to other young rappers,
whether it was Meek Mill Usher. So now the rumors
(32:31):
started started just going all over the place where Diddy
was either making them commit sexual acts or they were
like for him to watch, or he was actually doing
it to them. It was understood that Diddy got cameras
all over his house, and the understanding is he got
cameras all over his house, be so that nobody talks
because I got you on camera. Now, I'm telling you
(32:52):
this story firsthand from one of my homies. I was there,
so firsthand from his story. You'd be at one of
his parties, somebody tap you on the shoulder and it's like, hey,
it's probably you might want to go ahead and leave now.
And as you seeing who coming in, that's your clue, like, yeah,
we should probably bounce on me.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Like this stuff and like thank God for that food.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's like, look, it's time for you to go, because
things got real hectic after that. Now inside of that
indictment is now, I mean there's photos of like you know,
being like making young men force their penetration on other men,
like all kind of stuff that was happening. It was
like nature was like curing itself. Because again, if you
were in the music industry, you knew all this. You
knew that these were the type of things that he did.
(33:34):
But what we didn't know was what he was keeping
quiet about his girl. Then CNN decided to be the
shade rule, Like it's so crazy, CNN, I like, I
couldn't believe this. I saw a comedian just talk about this.
What wait, what's the home girl name? Hold on, y'all,
Monika Sanders, that's her name. She was like, listen, CNN
decided that y'all don't watch the news anyway, y'all don't
(33:56):
care about stuff that really that really go on, so
we might as well show you TMZ of it all.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Just let's get messy.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
She was like, they on some nigga shit, which is
hilarious because it's kind of true.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Why is Diddy on CNN?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And then, as a bonus for all of us real ones,
somebody messed up and booked Cameron.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
To come talk about this thing.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
And apparently y'all forgot about Cameron on Bill O'Reilly, but
they put her up against a black commentator on CNN.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
That was like, and Camron does what he does?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He don't, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
God, he's the most so hard. Look y'all gotta go
look at this clip of Cameron on.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
See it there he in Vegas City? Like you know
what I'm saying, Like, you know, I don't speak on Like,
I don't really know Diddy, so I wasn't even there.
I was talking about like did you Because the lady
was like, yo, Is this the Diddy you recognize? And
he's like, got here, I ain't zoomed into the photo
to see if I recognize him this Diddy? I mean no,
(35:00):
I you know, I don't condone none of them actions,
but all that like other stuff like I don't I
wasn't there. He ain't doude. I don't know that stuff.
I don't know Diddy like that. She was like, were
you was there a reputation around the industry about his behavior.
He's like, are you really hang with Diddy like that?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Then he SIPs this.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Oh my god, he SIPs this alixir that like in
New York that's like a thing you go get these
like little like uh tincture, little juices that you would sip,
and he goes, I'm sorry, I'm about to get some
cheeks later, so I gotta I gotta, I gotta siff this.
And then he's like, yo, who's the talent agent? Why
(35:41):
you got me on here? Speaking on Diddy?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Just in it a.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Disaster, But but it's so Cameron.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
That's how he be. He forget him on bill o'readdy?
Oh you mad?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Oh you mad? You big mad? That's where we got
that from, you mad bro? It was Cameron on the
bill O'Reilly show. Oh my god, just greatness they got
because let me back up. There was footage from a
hotel where Diddy grossly abuses this young lady. She's trying
to leave her hotel room. She's at the elevator. He
(36:18):
follows her in a towel, no less, just nasty work,
grabs her by the head, throws her down, kicks her,
grabs her back.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Just horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Horrible, this inexcusable. There's time where he sits down, he
throws something at her. Nasty work, diabolical in a towel.
Just hell is your problem? The word is he had
paid that hotel fifty thousand dollars to make sure that
that don't go out. It got out. CNN got it.
I don't know how they got it, but they got it,
and then they aired it. It was just funny because
(36:49):
we were like, I was like, of all the people
to get this in the air, it CNN y'all supposed
to be.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I thought, y'all was.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The serious stuff this is we're doing now we shave
room right, which is hilarious, but the brud needed to
be aired out. It's been going on too long. Black
people decided this year we got time now. He the
next day puts up his apology. That was hard because,
first of all, in his defense, he owned it all.
(37:17):
There's no excuse. Well, I mean, what could you do.
I mean you could be like Trump and be like
that wasn't me, or it y'all don't got the whole picture.
You didn't see the whole situation. He was like, nah,
that's inexcusable. There was nothing I was wrong. I was
the darkest place I've ever been, and essentially like, well,
of course I tried to cover it up because it
was dirty work and I'm ashamed, and yeah, I didn't
want it to get out because it would destroy me
(37:38):
and it's embarrassing and it's wrong and I'm wrong. He
said he's gone to therapy since and tried to make
himself a better person, which you could discuss amongst yourselves
how you feel about that. Maybe he did. I don't
know him personally, and maybe it was like this was
a dark moment. I just don't know personally how you
can get to those moments. Aren't just isolated, like you
(38:01):
build to that type of violence. It happens like my
mom used to say, it's the little foxes. It's the
little things. You know, you don't pull them little weeds earlier.
You don't deal with them little things before they become
big things, and then little things. Is the commentary that
I want to talk to y'all about. As somebody who
understands politics and you being from the hood, you know,
there's some people and I think this was a prime
(38:22):
example of that. They get off on power. Now him
doing a lot of the gay stuff. I'm calling it
that because I'm trying to speak hood. That's not what
I mean by it. But follow me has converted the
term pause to no didty. So if you say something like, oh, yeah, man,
I was banging that fool hard no diddy like you're
it's it's a homophobic phrase. Pause is already homophobic. It's
(38:45):
when you say something that sounds like, you know, sexual
towards another man. You're supposed to be like pause, which
is a visual which is a verbal representation of what's
supposed what was supposed to be happening visually. That's where
pause kind of came from. It's like when you accidentally
say like, nah, I get it. You know, they want
me to cut my message in half and give you
the six inch, but I'm gonna shove the whole foot
long down your throat. You're supposed to like stop and
(39:06):
look at each other with like big eyes, which is
like pause, Like wait what I just say? Did that
sound gay? So pause? Is already that? So now that's
been and I think Mace coined it, which is its
own funniness to be like nah no Diddy. So that's
the homophobicness that's in our culture already. But sit that aside, okay,
because it sucks that. That's the one thing that niggas
really got mad about was the gayness, not all the
(39:29):
other stuff. The gayness. But now that the video came out,
it's like, all right, fellas, like we really got it,
like this some bullshit and in our defense the general understanding,
of course, this isn't the case with everything. If you
like a real nigga, like I keep saying nigga because
I'm trying to get you'll understand the way we talk
like among our neighborhoods, A real man don't put their
(39:49):
hands on no female stuff like that gets you. That
gets you packed out, like you don't put your hands
on no female like you're not a man. It's just
so like there are certain things you don't You don't
touch no kids, and you don't hit no female like
you just we just don't accept that. But the point
I'm getting to here is niggas being like, oh if
(40:10):
you just gay, you gay nigga, like you just on
the gates, like just just you know, all a nigga gay?
You know what I'm saying, Like why you front? Like look, nigga,
you gay?
Speaker 4 (40:17):
You gay?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's like, listen, I don't think you understand what's going
on here. It's power some people. And understand this for
your politics because if you understand this about people and
about a person you talk to, you understand, then you
can understand they moves and what they doing. You get
off on power. So if you know you hold a
person's career in your hands, that you can make or
(40:40):
break them, then it's just it's almost erotic. It's like
it's an arousal to flex that power. Because at that
level of celebrity, you have essentially had sex with every
prom queen in every city. You've had sex with every
beauty pageant winner across the world. You' there is no there,
(41:05):
There is no box you haven't visited. So it's like
a beautiful woman just doesn't do it for you no more.
Like it's the law of diminishing returns a lot of
times with these people like it, don't do it, Like,
there's what's the drive? The drive was to be famous.
I'm already famous, okay. The driver was to bag the
baddest chick. I've bagged the baddest chick and everything, Like
what else is there? What else is it? Money? I'll
never be able to spend the amount of money that
(41:27):
I have now, I'll never be able to do it.
Stuff don't get you off no more. And what gets
them off is power is telling a young man who
produced an amazing track that like, I'm not gonna put
it out unless you suck my homeboys, Dick, and I
just want to watch it happen because I get off
not on not on the homo eroticism, but on the power.
Dudes get off on power, on the fact that I
can say what I want to say to you and
(41:48):
you're not gonna do nothing because you know I'm a
shot caller. You know I'll run the business, you know.
So that turns them on because like, how why would
you put your hands on somebody you love, especially especially
if you're a strong man on a young fee. Why
would you date somebody that much younger than you. It's power?
Power to why else? Because that's what turns that's what
he enjoys. I'm not saying he did he because I
(42:10):
don't know him, But I'm saying this is the type
of behavior that that displays when people what they love
is not the job, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
What they get off on is power.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
And when you understand people like that, what makes them,
what drives them crazy is when they lose power, is
when they can't control the situation. When you become ungovernable,
they can be mad all they won't like. Listen, if
I'm in a room, I write a dope hug for
somebody and he say, hey, we're not gonna do this.
You know what I'm saying, Unless you diddle this dude's booty,
I'm gonna unplug my laptop and leave. And it's fine.
(42:42):
It's okay if I'm not a start black lists me.
I don't need this. So when you remove their oxygen
tank of power, when they when they see that they
don't have it, they either they either black list, you
block you off, or it makes them freakishly angry and
they lose it. If Cassie left, he would lose power,
and he desperately because no, we're still not talking about
(43:04):
why Shine is in prison.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
All go do your googles.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Power. So when you understand that about your politics, about
what's happening across the world, about your Benjamin Nett and
Yahoo's about all these different things happening, like when people
just it's power. That's the drug, that's the aphrodijiac. So
when I had to tell one of these OG's, I
was in this conversation with like one of these all heads,
(43:28):
and I was like, look, nigga, it's not I'm not
I don't think. I don't think he's necessarily gay. First
of all, there's such thing as bisexual, which blew this
all hands mind. It was like, wait, I'm like, yes, nigga,
that's a thing you could be attracted to both. Because
to the old head, if you like men's booties, you gay.
That's just it to them. But I'm like, you can
(43:49):
like a lot. But my argument is he's not attracted
to booties or titties.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
He's attracted to power.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
That's what gets in oflved and then after we explained it,
he was like, dang, yeah, I get it because dudes
go to jail. How do you when you're raping another
man in jail? It's not because you're expressing dominant and
black people. Was done dealing with this. We needed the
nature to heal itself. It's too much at stake right
(44:16):
now for y'all to be active crazy. The next person
that had time this year, which I don't need to
get too deep into, is Kendrick Lamar. We've already done
a three episode, now four episodes about how again it
called to deciding we had time. It's okay, listen. Why
I say this year was the year was because you
(44:37):
have to remember, this is a ten to twelve year
feud and apparently it involved the entirety of rap music. Everybody.
Everybody had a problem with Drake. The only person that
ever says something slightly nice was twenty one Savage and
what he said was like, man, I'm friends with both
of them, which is when you are like, that's the reality.
When you family with everybody like that's your stance you're
(44:59):
supposed to be. You like, look, man, like this ain't
my fight. I'm friends with both of them. I hope
they work it out, you know, and you could be
truthful like Drake do some sideway stuff. I don't know
Kendrick the way I know Drake. I hope they could
work it out and it worked out. We have successfully
identified what we mean by a culture vulture, by a colonizer,
and we decided this year we just not gonna stand
(45:20):
for it. You're not gonna cosplay. And that's so crazy
that like that's essentially what happened. It was like, Okay,
you know what, we got time this year. I'm addressing
the cosplayer, I'm addressing the colonizer. We kicking this shit
out of the culture. And Drake has become jaw Rule.
Apparently we had time this year. Now we'll see how
Drake comes back. Maybe we'll see what he does.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
I don't know how this turns out. I'm just saying
this is a midyear reflection. And lastly, which is what
made me decide to do this whole show, was the
bleach blonde, bad built butcher body next. Okay, now, in
(46:30):
a moment that would probably go down in black Twitter history,
were it still a thing, if Elon didn't break the app.
I mean, this would this would be like at the
level of Meet Me in Temecula the Nigga Navy, which
was really my favorite. Yeah, that was probably my favorite
black Twitter moment. This would go on in there. Do
(46:52):
you guys know what the House Oversight Committee is? It's
actually very important to the messiness of the story and
why black people finally decided to add and how that
is completely manifested in Sweet Sister Jasmine. So when you
become a congressman, congresswoman and you join, when you join
the House of Representatives, you you have to join. You
(47:14):
don't just get to be there. You got to join
a clique. You have to join a committee you know,
which I'm calling a click that serves on that serves
different roles in the government for the actual use of goverment.
Like that's what your job description is. You got to
join a particular committee. So it's like that's the particular
clique that you work with. It's like, look your group project, right,
So there's the finance one. You know. Then you know
(47:35):
they have you've you've heard things like like the Black
Caucus and stuff like that. That's not what I'm talking
about I'm talking specifically about being in the House of
Representatives or a congress person. This one is called the
House Oversight Committee, and the Oversight Committee. Their job is
it's is exactly how it sounds. This is supposed to
be for accountability among each other. Right, they provide oversight
(47:59):
for the actions of elected officials and task force that
have been put together, right, So they're a panel. So
whenever you're seeing fools get grilled by like you seen
on the news, when you're seeing fools get grilled by
the Congress, it's it's this They put together subpoenas. They're
(48:23):
able to say, Yo, you need to come in. You
need to testify as to like you know, what the
hell was going on? Like you need to tell us
what happened was and what your thinking was for why
this was happening. Some of the more historical ones was
around you know, the nine to eleven attacks, right, somebody
had to talk to what was going on with like
(48:44):
the Abu Grand prison, Like how were there any leaks?
Did anybody know what was going on? Stuff around Hurricane Katrina?
Like why is there why did FEMA move so slowly?
Like tell us, tell us what happened here, right, So
there's a lot of things wwe was investigated by them,
Like so you just we just need to know if
(49:05):
it's a national situation, is there really a case here?
And we could subpoena people to come talk to the
government to just for us to know the people Michael
Cohen had to sit in front of this is the Senate,
this is the House Oversight Committee for us to know,
like how do we keep all this stuff accountable? Like now,
like everything else, it's become freakishly partisan. If you can,
(49:29):
as your party control who's in charge of what in
the committee, then you get to pick the cases and
how those come now right now, the majority in the
Oversight Committee is Republican. The guy that sits as the
chair is a man named James Comer from Kentucky who
(49:50):
really a substitute teacher, looking head ass like bruhs just
everything he feels like he's he got dad jokes just
like right out on the tip of his tongue at
all times. But I'm gonna save the roaster for later anyway. Oh,
another thing I could say too about the the Senate
(50:11):
or the House Overside Committee is like on the sixteenth
of May, like so this just happened, right, They are
holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for
refusal to comply with any subpoena issued by the Committee
of Oversights.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
So this just happened. So they get the right to.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Do stuff like that, like, Yo, we subpoenaed you. You saying
no about it? Like we get to hold you in content,
which is what this meeting we're about to talk about. Now.
The meeting got off late because a lot of the
old Trump heads was up in New York trying to
defend you know, his cheeto seal in his situation. So
they was up in New York. The rest of the
homies was on this City House I keep calling it Senate,
(50:49):
this House Overside committee, talking about can we hold Merrick
Garland in content? So you're supposed to go back and
forth about like are we down with this? Now? Enter
Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, if you know her, which you should,
I mean, she is a fully she's the fully evolved
pokemon of white woman privilege. Like she's the I'm sorry, guys,
(51:15):
she is the avatar of this. She worked the system
to the system work for her because I really, honestly
don't really know what she believes or feels. I just
know she's the queen of the wild takes extreme maga Republican,
like to the point of where what she say don't
make sense, like this ain't even conservative, this is just like,
(51:36):
I don't even know what you're talking about. She has
very little decorum because if you and this is just factual,
because if you go back to the last two State
of the Union's address, she booing, she popping off, she's
interrupting the dude, like just she pop off at all times.
She's looking for the hot takes. She's always looking for
(51:58):
a zinger. A lot of times she be incredibly conspiracy
theory pilled, but she pop off because she got the
back end of the big Homy y'all know what I
mean by the big hom and people a lot of
times let hers live because she famous like she's I mean,
she's hot right now. She's like, let's be real, like
in the world, she hot right now, and she's been
hot for a while. Remember the whole fifty dig ya
(52:19):
thing I talked about a long time ago, and I
was like, none of y'all counted for Margie Taylor Green,
the girl knows how to get a headline, and how
she does this is in these meetings that are supposed
to be rather boring and procedural. She pops off, it's
been real late they at this meeting, and she continue
to interrupt the meeting, asking questions that really ain't got
nothing to do what we talking about? So she out
(52:41):
of nowhere asked this question of the panel, are any
of the Democrats employing Judge Marshaan's daughter? Who is Judge
Marshaan doesn't matter for the story because it don't matter
for the hearing either. Now you hear what obviously is
a black woman, which which you can safely assume is
Jasmine Crockett off camera because this is all this is
(53:02):
all recorded because it has to be so it's off camera.
You hear what is clearly a black woman say, please
tell me what this has to do with with Mary Garland,
essentially like half of what the hell are you talking about?
And then you hear, which is the funniest one of
the second funniest thing in this clip, is you hear
(53:23):
James Comer. Remember I told you substitute teacher head ass
like goes? Is she a porn star?
Speaker 3 (53:30):
Like what and people it's all like is he advising it?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
What is she talking about? Like you can hear the
sound of blackness being like, what is this bitch?
Speaker 2 (53:41):
What?
Speaker 1 (53:41):
What do you know what we're here for? Does she
know what we're here for?
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Like just like can you believe this?
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Half? Like what is you talking about? So, but she's
on mike because it's just like, what's happening right now? What?
So that was strike one. So then Marjorie pops off
with her finger. Oh, oh you know, do we know
what you do? You know what you're here for? She goes, no,
do you know what you're here for? Then she makes
her fatal mistake. I think your fake eyelashes is getting
in the way. And then that's when the gavel hits
(54:09):
old order Order Order, So they like, mister chairman, can
you get a hold of your community?
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Can you get your girl? Because she talking out.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
Her neck and the whole room's like, oh, like, yo,
what is why are you popping off? And Marjorie real
proud of herself, like oh boom roasted, like she proud
of herself at this moment.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
It's kind of funny watching.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
All the clerks come and wild the guy that's supposed
to be in charge.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
He needed to check the playbook.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Like wait, can you are you allowed to say this?
Can you talk like that? Do we need to strike this?
I wait, what are the rules right now? Like the
nigga confused cuz cause he like, I don't know what
we supposed to do right now?
Speaker 4 (54:51):
What? Right?
Speaker 1 (54:52):
And then the whole girl, the hall girl, Jenny from
the block, you know what I'm saying. The hall girl,
AOC is like hot, jumps in and is like, yo, hey,
do we got.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Like a point of order?
Speaker 1 (55:03):
Like? Yo, do we got a point of order? And
then one white boy kind of steps in and he's
asking about finance and stuff, which really was him trying
to get his bars off too, and AOC you hear
her in the back like, yo, that's that's disgusting. It's
absolutely disgusting. She goes, you know what, actually, I have
a point of order like a person who actually understand
how the rules work. She finally started talking. She was like, listen,
(55:24):
I removed my point of order is that the parliamentarian
strikes the words of Congresswoman Marjor Taylor Green because that
is disgusting. You not allowed to talk about somebody's body
like this man strike this from the record. She like,
that's absolutely disgusting, Marley Treyley Treen popping off like oh
are your feelings hurt?
Speaker 3 (55:42):
All like just completely out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
But again, stay with me now, most of the time
we ain't got time for none of this. So when
she's like, oh are your feelings hurt? Ao was like,
oh girl, baby, girl, Like basically like, girl, you listen,
if you only knew I just did this show. This
is a side note, but it's very important. I just
did this this show at Joseph Harp Correctional Facility President Okay,
(56:08):
see performed out there, and I was talking to the
brus about about having inner piece, about like what's going
on in your own head and that you know you
deserve to have that type of piece and whatever work
you gotta do, man, I encourage you to do that
work right to get that piece inside your head because
a lot of times people see us and they think,
and especially you, because y'all are here, they think y'all crazy.
And I'm like, you only know what I tell you
(56:31):
if you like you don't know what I don't say,
Like if y'all knew, if y'all knew what I was
keeping on myself. Oh baby, you wouldn't. You don't know
half of the crazy. So essentially, what AOC is saying
is like, oh, baby girl, oh if you only knew
how much I hold back. Like look and right now,
(56:53):
who she was talking who who Margie was talking about
was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She was talking about her black woman,
young black lady. She was talking about her. But AOC
jumps in and was like, hell, oh hell no, right,
and the white boys still can't figure out how to
get ordered right, which is so funny to me. But again,
(57:13):
none of them can control Marjorie. She do whatever she won't.
But yeah, AOC like, listen, baby, don't even play like,
don't play with me. You have to understand for a
person of color, if a woman of color, I'm gonna
say specifically black or Latina, if she say don't play
with me, right, you need to stop. Kendrick had a
song on Damn that said stop playing with me for
(57:33):
I turn you to a song he's talking about Drake,
stop playing with me. That for black people, that's your
last warning when when white people say you're on thin
ice bucko that's that is the black version of that.
Stop playing with me. That means you understand what it means.
So Ao's like, hey, don't play right. So somebody seconds
(57:56):
the motion that like I second the motion that those
words are struck, and the people running it is still confused.
That's the funniest part. They looking at documents like, wait,
what are we supposed to do? How do we do
this right? They have lost all control of this. Mug
Alc is like, I'm not having it. That is unacceptable.
We're striking that. That is no way in the world
(58:17):
that's going in the record. But they're like, but they
don't know how to do it. So they're like, oh okay,
So they get the director. The leaders get the directors
like do you agree to strike your words from the record?
Margie Taylor Green was like I get like, I still
have four minutes of twenty second, which, as a side note,
was like, nigga, you've been talking this whole time and
none of it has been your time, so what are
you talking about? Right?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
But forget that part.
Speaker 1 (58:39):
She goes, yeah, yeah, I agree to strike it. ALC's like,
you need to apologize you were out of line, and
she's like I ain't apologizing, Like no, if they could cuss,
it had been like, no, bitch, you need to apologize,
Like I can hear those words in there. It's not
happening there because somebody trying to be a professional. And
then Margie Taylor.
Speaker 3 (58:58):
Was like, why don't you debate me?
Speaker 1 (59:00):
AOC was like, uh, it's evan and you ain't got
the intelligence for that, like and they, and so this
is all happening while while the white boys is still
trying to get ordered. Hey, like I haven't even recognized you.
Speaker 4 (59:10):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
Right, so all this has happening. They don't know how
to work. They don't know how the laws work, they
don't know the rules. It's too confusing. We never been
in this situation. So he finally he's like, okay, okay, everybody, okay,
calm down, misscreen, we got two points of order. Everybody
popping off. We want to strike AOC's word. We wanna
stark margin tar. We got two points of order, y'ata.
It's like, okay, everybody, every dight calmed down. Everybody, everybody
(59:31):
shut up, shut up, shut up, shut u shut up.
Do you agree humanimously to strike your words Margie Taylor Green. Yes,
but I'm not apologizing these people be heard off words.
He's like, ma'am, oh my god, do you agree to
just strike the word? That's all I need from you,
and then here go to order.
Speaker 3 (59:45):
We're gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (59:46):
Then we're gonna give you. You're gonna agree to this,
and we're gonna give you four minutes. She's like, okay, word.
Then you hear Jasmine speak up, which I bet you
y'all listen, if I could only have been sitting next
to her at this time, let me tell you how
hard we be laughing right now. So she says, my
request for you right now is to just take a
second and do your googles about miss Jasmine Bona Fides
(01:00:11):
to just know how unbelievably intelligent this woman is. Now, okay,
I have a point of order. They was like, who
this jazz? Okay, Miss Crockett, she said, I just need
some clarity. I just want to know if someone were
to start talking about a bleach blonde, bad built, butch body,
(01:00:33):
that that would be a point of contention, Like, am
I allowed to say that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Jake's cobra go?
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
But what now?
Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Listen, First of all, the alliteration number two. It's an
alliteration that was probably off the head that she probably
just thought of right there like that. Because the asylum
that black people was raised in. If there's anything we
do well, is we gonna roast the hell out of you.
You have no chances when it comes to getting roasted
(01:01:09):
with us. We are just too good at this. This
is our You have to understand the way we was
because we get it from every angle. You get roasted
from your cousins younger than you, You get roasted from
your mama, your aunties, your uncles, your granddaddy, your grandma.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Every We we know how to clap back.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
There is never a situation where I'm not gonna figure
out a way to clap back at you.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
We are too good at this.
Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
And again, what I keep trying to say to you
when we say because AOC started it like don't play,
is you don't understand what I'm not saying to you.
You have no idea because of the angry black woman thing.
It's the same thing that happens as an angry black
man because of that's that stereotype. The amount of control
we have to have, the amount of biting of tongue
(01:01:57):
because when you get to pop off as much you want,
but when I defend myself or when I pop off,
I'm an angry black person. But sometimes we got time.
Sometimes it's time for you to learn a lesson. You
remember the fade in the water, the Montgomery, Alabama situation.
We had time that day. There are times that we
have time that is like, no, you know what this
(01:02:19):
is gonna stop today. You gonna you're gonna stop playing
with me. So that's what seriously has happening. But she
does it. Like I said, how black we can be
very unserious about serious things and be serious about it.
So what she gonna say is like, Okay, you got
an issue with my eyelashes. You don't understand how hot
I could get on your girl. I could cook you
(01:02:40):
so bad right now. You don't even know like there
was a be missing obviously, because we know how to
control ourselves.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
But your little tail. If we're gonna start talking about bodies,
and they were like whoa whoa you out of?
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Like she's like, look, I'm just trying to understand cause
she gets to talk about she gets to talk about eyelashes.
I just want to know what's appropriate or not cauz,
So do I need to apologize? So I should apologize
about that? Right?
Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Is that the decorum? Is that what we're doing here?
Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
So essentially it's like, listen, ma'am. And this is the
lesson that I cannot tell you how often in every household,
if you a real one and you got children, you've
had to tell your younglings. Do not dish out what
you cannot take. If you can't take it, don't give it,
(01:03:30):
because oh I'm a serve it full for you. So
do not dish out what you can't take. Black people decided.
You know, I'm about done with you. You coming into
my playing field right now. You not allowed to pop
off no more because if you pop off again, I'm
gonna roast you even worse. You think I'm worried about
these white boys, ma'am, stop playing with me. And you
(01:03:53):
see the senator sitting next to.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Sitting next to James Cover.
Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
Trying not to laugh, laugh, ho, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
But then the white lady gets to the white lady
get to be like listen, calm down, calm down. She
get to call us the angry one, and she's like no, no, no, no, no,
you want to smoke, trying to get some clarification. Can
we talk like this is we allowed to because you
wasn't apologizing. You don't think you're wrong. So I'm just
trying to understand if this where we go and if
we're gonna get down, we're gonna get am and again
(01:04:30):
the white boys the lost control and Margie Screen is
still popping off like calm down, I can't hear you
of your anger. She's still popping off about AOC and
then AOC come back and like, hold up. I moved
to strike her words a second time because of the
derogatory thing she's saying about a second person. Listen, black
and brown unity out this mug.
Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
That's how we roll, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Listen, we got time this year, so they can't even
get the whole thing. And AOC gotta explain the rules
to the guy that's supposed to be a charge. She's like, listen,
I know you saying that she recognized for her four
minutes and twenty seconds. The problem is she can't talk
yet because you don't know the rules. There is a
motion to strike her words the second ones. She's still
popping off about me that needs to get struck before
