Speaker 1 (00:02):
All media.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, can't stress this enough. I'm black as hell
and have been my whole life. And if you've been
black your whole life, you've been going to church.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Now. Lucky for me, Praise the Lord God Almighty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I was in a church where the old folks like that,
we liked hip hop, like that, we was dancing, we
was in the graffiti. They was like, look, you can
as if you could rap every rap song and you
know your Bible.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's great. You got good balance.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Just you know, we don't want you to be swung
all the way one way, and you know not that
that's the most enlightened position, but it taught me that,
like yo, all things in balance, you know what I'm saying.
That being said, I hope your social media feed is
(00:57):
in good balance. A balance of witnessing these what can
only be described as Civil War reenactments at MacArthur Park,
which was the dumbest thing I ever seen, which I'll
probably talk about on Monday, balance with fun things like oh,
I don't know, whatever fandom or stage of life you into,
(01:19):
Like if you're in the unk phase, maybe you've seen
some like home gardening ads like I don't know, birding
something that balances out the chaos. And maybe what happened
to you is on your feed somehow.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
An Indonesian little.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Boy just floating on the top of a boat or
a farming as the young folks say, just took over
your feed and you like this the smothe shit I
ever seen with you? All Right, First of all, if
(02:04):
you know somebody younger than twenty five, you could ask
them what the hell are farming is? I'm sure you
could use context clues if you know about the little
TikTok video I'm talking about, which if you was an adult,
you saw it on Instagram reels like a grown up
and this little boy at preteen on the front of
(02:27):
this long boat while everybody was rowing, just saucing, just
sauten up on the rhythm of the guys rowing, and
just the sauciest kid just bouncing on beat with the rhythm,
(02:49):
looks over it at the crowd and scopes them like
just the coldest little thing that has taken over the
American social media TikTok spear and just had its little
fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Now it hopes to do two times in a row.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Some feel good stories on the tap in it's again
to try to offer some balance. But let's talk about
little homie because he's got a name. The boy's name
is Ryan Akron Dikka age eleven. Now I am clearly
(03:27):
saying his name all wrong because I, in fact am
not Indonesia. But he also go by a nickname called
the Reaper. Now let me tell you about what you
was looking at. It's this race, or this event called
Paku Jalord. It's a longboat race which takes place annually
(03:50):
in some Mantra, Indonesia. Nigga a festival that goes back
to the sixteen hundreds. They celebrating their ancestors.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
These boat are called jalures, right, and they're crafted from
whole tree trunks and they used to be used to
transport agricultural goods like bananas and sugar cane. And some
of these boats are long enough to carry about sixty people. Now,
this is more like an inner mural. Listen, this is
(04:19):
the Hoods Park day kickball game like.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
We do all the time in the hood. Right.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's an inner village competition, right, And it took place
my Nigga in the seventeen hundreds. Okay, And despite a
slump during the Japanese occupation during World War Two. It's
continued to grow and now it's used as like an
independent celebration from the Netherlands because white people just can't
(04:51):
get enough of colonizing brown folk. Right now, this little kid,
the Reaper is one of the famous people.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Now check this out. The position that he has.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
If you notice all these boats had this is called
in a knock culty, right, and their roles is to
entertain also but to energize the team. So it's kind
of like a you know, the caller lift lift, left, right,
left right, so he the conductor. So he's there to
(05:25):
like bring good fortune aka or.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
A farm for everybody out there.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Now, so much so that everybody thought this shit was
so fired that it became some sort of a TikTok
trend to try to dance like the Reaper and set
up your own little things. Now, why would I do
this as a tap in? I do this as a
tap in to remind you all Americans that you not
(05:52):
the only people with saus I need you to go
back to the fact that this is a four hundred
year tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I remember one in a commercial about Tahen saying America's
new favorite seasoning. I'm like nigga ta heen ta heen yo,
the new favorite seasoning. I remember an article saying one
time that I remember it was a BuzzFeed article that
a food that could a meat that could feed the
(06:20):
world and stop a lot of climate change we just
discovered and if the world would switch to this meat,
we would all be Okay, do you know what the
meat was?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Nigga goat? You just discovering goat? Goat? Do you the planet?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
We all eat that already, Everybody that got melon and
already eat goat? What the fuck is you talking about?
I guess my point in this is that there's flavor
all over the world. The world is so amazing and
has been dope the whole time. That little boat float
(07:02):
thing y'all the sixteen hundreds, let me put you on
the Victor Valverde. Okay, while American top forty stations really
only rotate between twenty songs, the rest of the world
been cooking some of the dopest music.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I know a lot of y'all don't have to tell
y'all because y'all into K pop and such like that,
But I gotta be honest with you, k pop just
sound like American pop with Korean words, So you you
still go into another country looking for a burger joint.
I'm saying, get involved in their culture. Let me tell
y'all about my favorite song, El Mayor de los Rhanas. Okay,
(07:44):
I wish I could play the shit in this, but
I can't be cause they'll pull it off immediately. But
the point I'm trying to make is Homie got one
of the sauciest songs out right now, the uniqueness of
his voice. What they're doing, because this is what they doing,
these is young folks. They taking no kore like the
nautical music because it's really just gangster rap. Let me
be real with you, right, it's nautical music, corridos, This
(08:07):
kids from Sinaloa. He putting all his own traditional sort
of guitar on it, modernizing it and just putting some
of the dopest music out. You ain't got to know
the words. It's saucy, although I will say the slang
el Mayor delos Ranas is such a dope thing. So
(08:28):
rana is a frog, right, So la major dess is
like I'm the king. I'm the king of the frogs, right,
Why would you call somebody a frog? Well, you remember
what I was talking about, people feeling froggy, right, So
the frogs for the for the, for the, for the,
for the cartellers in them that stay slang for like
(08:50):
the crash out boys, like the boys, it's gonna pull
up and pop out on you pop. The niggas hopping out,
the vans, them the rhanas because they feel froggy, so
they jump and I'm the King of Rhinas Like, what
a dope flex. But you gotta be a You gotta
be willing to let yourself understand that it's dope shit
happening everywhere. So while the destructions of our institutions is happening,
(09:14):
I hope that you continue to expose yourself to things
across the world that are dope as hell. Indonesian boat
kid or farming practice in the tradition that has existed
longer than our country has existed.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I appreciate you breaking into our zeigeist now.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I hope this little nigga makes some money and maybe
Jamie can get a translator and have them on sixteen
Minutes of Fame. You know what I'm talking about, Little
Honey Got sauce yon as i as
All media.
