(02:22):
Welcome to the Zignity Zone of Disruption. The name is
Michael Rapport aka the Inflamed Ashkenazi aka the Raging Bullshitter
aka the Disruptive Warrior. The Iron Rapport Stereo Podcast is
coming live and direct from New York City. As you
could hear the beeping, the beeping back in the great
(02:44):
City of New York. Happy to be back. Had an
uneventful flight back to New York, thank goodness. And now
I'm here. I am here, back in New York. And
we are New York and wiggity. We love basket ball.
We're gonna tickety take it all. We are the New
(03:06):
York Knicks who are about to take on the New
York Knicks are about to take on, holy shit, the
Philadelphia seventy six ers. The last time we played the
Philadelphia seventy six ers in the playoffs, we swept them,
real nice and real proper. But that was oh so
long ago. Anyway, I'll get to that, get to a
(03:31):
bunch of things once again. I had to cancel my
shows in Royal Oak rescheduling. I promise, I promise, I
will make my way to Michigan.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
But I am at the Mohegan.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
The Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Unskinville, whatever the fuck that is.
I've got like this place has got five different pronunciations,
the twenty fifth, twenty sixth, and twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
At Mohegan Sun. And then I'm gonna even in.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Madison, Wisconsin, May second first shows already sold out. They
added a second show and then Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, May third.
I'm being Cincinnati the seventeenth and the eighteenth. All tickets,
all information is available at Michael Rapaportcomedy dot com. Migey
Michael Rapaport Comedy dot com. Had a good trip in
(04:25):
Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Good shows.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Shout out to everybody who came to the shows at
the Comedy Store. Shout out to everybody who came to
the shows.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
At Flappers. Not quite.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Spring spring weather as I would expect here in New York,
but it is playoff time, and what can I say,
There's a lot to talk about NBA playoffs. Got me fired,
got me fired up. I'm fired up on all fronts.
I am fired up on all fronts. The Knick start
(04:58):
their quest for an NBA championship this weekend versus their
arch rival Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Joel the Troell Embiid
his back. Although I don't expect them to make it
through this entire series. Joel Embiid unfortunately will get injured
(05:20):
and not make it through this entire series. But even
if Joel Embiid was with the Sixers this entire series,
the Knicks would beat their ass. So if Joel Embiid,
and I hope he stays healthy, I hope all players
on all teams always stay healthy. If Joel Embiid does
make it through the series, great, we're winning. Tyrese Maxi
(05:45):
will be flying around. Great, the Knicks are still winning.
Tobias Harris is far from one hundred percent. Not my
fucking problem. Kelly Ubray, Buddy Healed, will be firing. But
what has me most confused and fired up is that,
for some reason, the sportsbooks have the Sixers officially listed
(06:06):
as the favorite of the series, the seventh seed favored
over the second seed. Bet on that, if you know,
if you don't make any bets on anything, bet on
that the Knicks have a lot of motivation. Paul Reid
even went on Chandler Parsons Show and was giddy about
(06:26):
facing the Knicks over the Celtics word Miles Jordan play
that clip.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
But one of the news matchup.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Of course, that's the easier team, I guess, but you
know it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Big mistake, big mistake, big bulletin board material. Not to
mention that Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart got snubbed.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
By team.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You say this summer, the Knicks are ready for war.
I don't know how Jalen Brunson isn't on the Olympic team.
I know how Kyrie Irving isn't on the Olympic team,
which I'll get to that in a minute. But Jalen
Brunson ain't on the Olympic team. Fine, the Knicks are
winning this series. The Knicks are ready to rumble. They
(07:22):
have multiple seven footers they could throw at MBAD, who
again is hobbled. They squeaked by the fucking Miami heat
the other night. The Sixers have no one who contained JB.
Jalen Brunson. Bully ball bruntson Og is back and the
Knicks have three losses with him in the lineup. Most importantly,
the Knicks defense to offense is going to run the
(07:43):
fucking Sixers ragged. Madison Square Garden's gonna be going crazy.
New York's gonna be going crazy. I got the Knicks
winning in six games. I got the Knicks winning this
in six The next series that I want to talk
about is the Lakers the Nuggets. These two teams, remember
(08:05):
last year they met in the Western Conference Finals and
the Nuggets tossed the Lakers out of the playoffs with
relative ease, went on to win that Chicky Chip. Yes,
there's more confidence with the Lakers between Russell Ruie Reeves
(08:26):
having to go playing Denver Lebron. He's old, looks like
he's not. I'm sure he's in an incubator right now,
getting his blood levels ready to rumble. Anthony Davis if
they have any chance of beating the Joker in Denver,
Anthony Davis, Number one, you need to stay on the court.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This guy. There's always something wrong with this fucking guy.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But he needs to be at an MVP level, and
I don't think he can sustain an MVP level. I
got the Nuggets winning this series in five or six games, Okay,
that's my prediction. Put it on Wiggedy Wax and then
heading back to the East. The Pacers versus the Bucks,
(09:10):
the Freak, the freaky one, Giannis Anto Bakumbo, the Greek
Freak is going to miss the start of the series.
Pacers have put the Bucks in a blender with the
freak and without the Freak. It's going to take a
herk ullion effort from Dame Dollar to keep it close.
(09:31):
But I'm concerned about him. I'm concerned about the freak,
and I'm concerned about the Bucks. Usually the Bucks are
able to bully with size no Diddy, but now Indiana
can match that and counter with speed. I have the
Pacers winning this series in five or six games. Then
we go back to the West, the Clippers versus the Mavericks.
(09:54):
These teams don't like each other all right. The Clippers
have gotten the best of Lucas so far, especially in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
But uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The one concern for the Clippers is the health of
their best player, Kawhi Leonard being up in the air.
You never fucking know this time of year with Kawhi,
he always breaks down. Unfortunately, I don't know this is
gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If Kawhi can't play the entire fucking series, anything can happen.
The Maps have had their best defensive starting unit since
trading for PJ. Washington and Daniel Gafford. We love the Clippers,
we love Luka. We're rooting for the Clippers. But I
have to say, with Kyrie being hurt and Luca and
(10:46):
Kooki Kyrie, they're playing fucking good. They're playing good. I
gotta go with Denver Dallas. I'm sorry the Mavericks to
win this series. I think it's gonna be a good series,
and I think it's all be a fun series. But
I got to take the Mavericks, and I'm going to
take the Mavericks in I'm gonna take the Mavericks in seven,
and then back to the East Calves the Cleveland Cavaliers
(11:10):
versus the Orlando Magic. I don't know what to make
of Cleveland. On paper, this should be a Cleveland series.
It seems like this is a coaching mismatch. We know
the stars are Donovan Mitchell, Pallo ban Chano. Spider might
be out of Cleveland if the rumors are true. I
(11:31):
don't know Spider gonna Spider. There's gonna be a lot
of defense in this game.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Maverick. Did the Magic have a shot?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I like band Chanro, I like Franz Wagner and company,
but I'm gonna take Cleveland because they have more experience
and they have the Spider Man. To win this series,
I'm gonna take Cleveland. I'm gonna take Cleveland in seven,
and then the last series the Suns verse the Timberwolves.
I would love nothing more than the Timberwolves to bump
(12:00):
the fucking Suns. Kevin Durant is fucking bullshit right out
of the first fucking round. This is size versus shooting.
Minnesota got Karl Anthony Town's back. They call him the catman,
nas Reed and of course Anthony Edwards. There's gonna be
a fucking problem. This is gonna be a good series,
(12:24):
a lot of stars, a lot of scoring. But I
like the Timberwolves to find a way to beat the
shit out of the Suns in five I'm gonna say
six games. Turn out the fucking lights, Kevin Durant, you
fucked yourself once more? Do you fucked yourself once more?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Man, fuck, that'll be awesome. Imagine they get bumped in
five games. I'm gonna say six games. I'm gonna say
six games the Timberwolves bump Kevin Durant and the Phoenix
Suns and six fucking games. It's the NBA playoffs and listen.
I predicted in the last episode of the im Rappaport
(13:06):
Stereo podcast that the Bulls would handle the Hawks. I
was correct, that the Lakers would pluck the Pelicans and
that the Sixers would hold off the Heat.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I did that I did that, and me and the captains.
It's a group effort.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Me and the captains at captainpicks dot com the think
tank win three and one on our predictions.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
We only missed and I think I said, well, I
did my feelings. We only missed that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We thought the Warriors would take care of business. Turn
out the lights. Turn out the fucking lights. The party
is unfortunately over for Golden State. They gotta do something.
They can't come back with the same crew next year.
It looks like Clay will be elsewhere unless they bring
them back for nostalgia sake. The Warriors, they just they
(13:59):
got too much money on the books and they need
to start giving more minutes to the young guys and.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
See what they got.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But it was bonvoyage to the Golden State Warriors and
the Atlanta Hawks. We still have two sudden death games,
the Kings at the Pelicans and the Bulls first to heat.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Zion Williamson hurt again.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, Zion Williamson, He's unbelievable, but he doesn't dominate
a game. He's a dominant force, but he hasn't figured
out how to dominate a game. I don't know if
that makes sense. But I just feel like he's just
not I don't know, he just doesn't have that personality
to fuckingdominate and he should. He's big, he's explosive when
(14:41):
he's not hurt, but even when he's scoring forty points,
I don't know. There's just something about him. There's something
about him. Jimmy Butler also tweaked his MCL he's gonna
be out with Terry. Listen, the NBA is here. It
made my predictions. And as I said earlier, Kyrie Irving kooky.
(15:03):
Kyrie Irving was left off the Olympic basketball team. And
it's not about talent with you, Kyrie, we know your talent.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The reason why you were left off the Olympic team
is because these guys know you.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Grant Hill's a duke guy, Krushewsky, they know you. You
can't be going to the Olympics and possibly saying some
wacky shit, smoking something over there and Parry drinking something
there and Parry and next thing you know, you're posting
(15:38):
videos or saying some kookie shit.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right now, you're.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All passively aggressively smiling at the press conference. Miles Jordan
to play a little bit of KOOKI Kyrie talking about
why and what he thought about not being invited back
to the Olympic team.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I wish my brothers well and I just didn't fit
into this team, and I think the deliberation process was
a tough one. But again, I have nothing but respect
for those guys over at USA B. You know, at
this point in my career, I think my focus should
be on winning the championship and you know, in the summertime,
just going to support those guys when I get a chance.
(16:18):
But yeah, I grew up in a time too. I
wanted to say this. I grew up in a time
too where we actually had to try out for USA
B and we did meet up as a group and
as peers, and there was a mutual respect that we
earned from one another and trying out and then seeing
what five meshed well. So I think obviously the timing's
a little bit different, But yeah, I kind of missed
(16:38):
those days of just being able to get everybody together,
break bread and then compete against one another. And then
the deliberation process happens at the end of like the
four days and five day process. Even though people know
who's gonna be on the team, you know what I'm saying, so,
I just I missed that fun.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Part of it of just getting together.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
But I wish my brothers.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, that's on you, Kookie Kyrie. That is on you.
The reason why you're not on the Olympic team. We
know you're a talent. We can't have an international incident
with you representing the American squad during the Olympics. It's
playing and simple. It's playing and fucking simple. Podcast thirty
(17:36):
fucking years, thirty years since.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Probably my favorite. It's hard to say my favorite. It's
definitely top five favorite albums of all time. Illmatic Nas.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Illmatic Nas came out thirty years ago. It seems like
every every year, every anniversary of this record, we talk
about it. I've talked about this this album many times
on the Iron Rapport Stereo podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
This is a perfect, perfect album.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Came out nineteen ninety four, ten tracks, game changing record.
It's really nine tracks because the first track, Genesis is
them talking.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It's really nine songs.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Shout out to the Zebrahead soundtrack my first film, Zebrahead.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
This song Halftime.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Is in the opening scenes of the film that I
made my debut in.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Produced by Oliver Stone.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Zebrahead halftime by Naj was on the soundtrack for zebra
Head before Plint.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
I'll take you out my front, so then I start
the front. Mat of fact, I'll be on a manhunt.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton
of refall.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
That's like Malcolm X catching a chungle feeble King Poetic
too much flavor a major Atlanta at Brayful. I put
my number like a beja because I'm an ace one.
I faced the base forty side is the play status
getting the league race? Now wait another, don't say you
might be dead and now a nikehead, I would change
that excite defense. Ain't ain't a damn thaithe on a change.
(19:17):
I'm gonna perform a strange show to Mike Warmer on
the change. Now is why did you do it? You
know you got the mad fat through it when you're
from It's halftime of course.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
This album is produced by Q Tip Pete rock Large
pro Large Professor, the producer l E. S and shit,
I mean this is this is a perfect record. It's
a perfect record. And like I said, we talked about
this record many times. When I had Omar Epps.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We were on the.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Set of Higher Learning, Matter of Fact, Miles Jordan, Play
Me and Omar Epps talking about Illmatic and had how
Omar Epps, who I co starred with in Higher Learning,
iconic actor from Juice so Forth, om Apps everybody knows
Omar Aps play that and play Me and DJ Premiere
(20:10):
and Premiere talking about producing and working with Nas on
the thirtieth anniversary the thirtieth anniversary of the classic record
by Godson Nasir, Nas Jones, nas Escobar Play that for me,
(20:31):
Miles Jordan.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And I remember walking by your trailer.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I distinctly remember walking by your trailer and hearing aasy
on Life's a Bitch, and nobody was really fucking me.
It wasn't like we were like not cool, but it
was just kind of like we didn't really know each other.
Like you you had a bunch of people with you
in the trail, not a bunch of few people.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I go, Yo, what the fuck is that?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And and like somebody was like that's Nas, that's the
Allmatic shit. And I were like word and like they
were like, yeah, get the fuck out of here, Remy,
you know. But my question didn't to you is first,
how did you get that tape? I mean, the statutory
limits are fine to how did you get it? And like,
what do you remember about do you remember?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Like me, I remember, I remember all of this in detail.
So one of the you know, new deal John Singleton's
production company that they had called me up there. You know,
we're doing fittings or.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Right, So I walked by this office, right, and I
see a pile of cassettes, right, And I literally I
walked by this office and I see a blue cassette
and it said NADS on it, and.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I was like, yo, so I'm backtracked.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I said, Joe, that's the Nurse of Them and he was.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Like what, And I said, they just got this shit
sitting on the politics.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Like I felt like it was so disgustingly disrespectful, and
so I had to swipe that this was it had
to be like February or January.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
We knew it was coming, but you didn't hear any
of it.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
You didn't hear it, but you just heard a lot
of talk and excitements coming. So I get the cassette.
As soon as we get into it, leave that we're
listening and we're like, this is the NAS album And
it was the whole record. It was the whole our
heads exploded. We were I mean, that was rotation for
like until the album came out.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Believe that they had NAS's album, his first album, Illmatic,
on a pile of cassettes, like it was just discarded.
So I felt, you know, as hip hop our culture,
I had.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
To guard this thing.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yourself. Yeah, so you knew you were gonna do three
songs on the record.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Okay, So the second one was New New York State
of Mind. And that's when he came in, and uh,
we were just fishing through records, me and him, just
he just sitting there dropping. I'm just dropping the needle.
And I pulled up to Joe Chambers record and I
cleared this so I could say the name. You know,
I don't like to get all sample. We clear this
(23:01):
jokes Chambers. Everybody yes, and thumbing around.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And what's the first part? What's the jokes? Chambers? Simple
like a piano?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Okay. Yeah, So when we had heard that, because first
it goes down around.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
And then all of a sudden goes around. It just
breaks down all of a sudden. You know, if you
if you were just listening to that more around. He's
really noisy around. He would have been like, I skipping
the next record whatever, play for just a couple more seconds.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It just goes round around, it calms down, and we
both look at each other like, yo, wind that back.
No no no, no no no. He said, you can flip that.
I said, hold on, put in my my Myami, pat
he says, he said, watching me do it, he said,
I'm going there. So he's always it's just a little funny,
(24:02):
you know, just be and then all of a sudden,
you're playing now is doing that? You know so?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And when you're doing that, when you're making specifically like
New York City and you're hearing that and it sounding
like fucking ship.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But that's me just putting into the machine.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But you're you're clear, you have a clear set goal.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You're like, you know, like, but it has to sort
of go get it to get to something.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I call it experiment mode. That's what I call it.
I'm experimenting because it might not work. The only part
I already had rolling was the do you know the
part beginning when he's like, you know, it's time straight
out the fucking dunder the rep That part already had
(24:43):
but that's all I had, you.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Know, she just had that as a potential something.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I was like, I want I definitely. I'm very good
at knowing what temple I wanted to be, and I
was like, I already did represent that's more up temple,
But like I want to get one. Is just I
like slow beats. You know, just could I drive a lot?
I love driving and just blasting music. It's it's just
a thing. Sometimes I just like drive for hours and
(25:08):
just be by myself because you ride with somebody the
talk in the middle of it. It's like, oh, man,
enjoyed this. So I just rib about myself a lot
and just blast my music. So and not my music
that I make. I like listen to other people.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I got you, but so was that rhyme written? Was
his verses val you and then go ahead to then
what happens?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So then once I got the where I'm gonna catch it,
he's like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And he starts writing.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
He always sits at the desk, and I don't know.
I still haven't ask him. Why does he do this?
He starts doing this and maybe because while the music
is kind of loud in the room, I guess doing this,
you can hear yourself. Maybe I never even say, yo,
why do you do that? All the years I've known,
at least from the those albums, at least the first
three or three albums we worked on, he's always at
(25:55):
the front of the desk and just like like he's
wrapping into his hand. Next thing you know, he's ready
to cut the first verse. And once he cut the
first verse, he did in one take and one One
thing I love about it, which I've said in other interviews,
is I love how he's looking at the paper and
uh when he says straight out the fucking dune is
(26:17):
a rapper, fake niggas, don't don't make it back. I'm
getting ready to count him in, but he's not looking.
He goes, I don't know how to start this, and
you hear him say that rappers.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I'm gonna be flip him with the poke then the
moppie kicking musician.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It flipping composition.

here and the board is literally at an angle sideway,
so I'm that close to just if I'm sitting there
at the board, he's literally right here in the glass.
So I'm sitting there going too, you know, like, let's
go because I have a recording already.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's fucking dope.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah, because sometimes you get the best take from practicing it,
because if you practice it, sometimes you nail it, and
then when you're ready to do it now, you're doing
too much to make it exactly too cute, so you
don't get the same If you don't get the same feel,
And I'm more of a feel person. If they don't
feel right, I'm like, yo, let's cut it again. And nah,
I could do it again. I'm like, yo, I'm the coach.
(27:43):
I hear you I'm listening to you. It's not better
than that take.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Anyway, great record, great podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
If you didn't hear those full episodes Me and DJ Premiere,
that's fucking Gem after Jem after Jem, And if you
didn't hear Me and a man Omar Apps Jim after
Jim after Jem, thirty years of Illmatic, classic record podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
What else is going on?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Crazy fucking shit here in New York City, Columbia University,
Barnard College on the Upper West Side and up area,
just blow Harlem, beautiful campuses, a lot of history, overrun
by fake student freedom fighters. Yes, protesting is great. Yes,
(28:47):
protesting is something you can't do. Oh no, you can't
do it in Iran. The fucking hang you on a crane,
you disappear in Iran. Can't certainly can't do it in Ramala,
Judea Samaria, can't do it in Gaza. You could do
it all you want in democratic ran countries like Israel.
(29:15):
But the ship that I am seeing, the ship that
I am hearing at Columbia University, these motherfuckers are out
of their fucking trees. Miles Jordan play play a couple
of the clips I heard somebody.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Saying we are all Hamas.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I also heard some motherfuckers saying that the Jews should
remember October seventh and that there will be more and
more October seventh. Play those clips Miles Jordan's.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You're of us who.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
First of all, your little bitch, your little we're all
your Hamas, your little bitch. Really, and then this little
motherfucker talking about there's gonna be more and more October.
So I wish a motherfucker would say that to me,
there's gonna be more October seventh, not one, not two.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Really, we're going around, we're shooting. That's a threat.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Where you threaten to fuck me, threatening to rape me,
you're threatening to kill me, burn me alive. Fuck out
of here, Fuck out of here with your your face
is all wrapped up in scarves and shit. That ain't
a protest. That's a threat. You're Hamas. You're promising more
(30:43):
October seventh. That's a threat of violence. I don't know
how these motherfuckers aren't arrested or at least getting baseball
bat or punching the fucking face or a bottle thrown
at their fucking head.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
This shit is happening as I record this.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I am Rappaport Stereo podcas in New York City and
as of the recording of this irom rap Port Stereo podcast,
it is day one hundred and ninety six. I was
just at the Qatar Embassy in New York City with
a bunch of hostage families, a bunch of people protesting,
and as frustrating as an upsetting as these scumbags are
(31:20):
at Columbia University saying this kind of bullshit, how they're Hamas.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And all this filthy shit.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The most important thing is to not forget that it
is day one hundred and ninety six since the hostages
were taken. There are still one hundred and thirty three hostages,
six who are from New York. You're in Columbia protesting,
screaming at people, when there's New York, citizens of New York,
(31:55):
citizens of New Jersey. You support these scum bags. The
other day there was hearings in Congress about all the
anti Semitism in Colombia. On Colombia, you had the the
squad ilion Omar squad member ilion Omar grilling people with questions.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Play that clip.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
I think I wanted to get a clarification earlier. One
of my colleagues asked you, have you seen anti Muslim
protests on campus?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I have seen. We have had pro Israeli demonstrations on Canada.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
No, but just a protest that was against Muslims.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Have you seen one against the Arabs?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
No? I have not.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
Have you seen one against Palestinians?
Speaker 5 (32:46):
No, I have not.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Have you seen against one against Jewish people? Have you
seen a protest saying we are against Jewish people?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
No? I have I have.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Okay, thank thank you for that clarification. There has been
a rise in targeting and harassment against anti war protesters
because it's been pro war and anti war protesters, is
what it seems like.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Correct, correct there?
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And oops.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The next day I lean Omore's daughter who goes to Bornart.
She got suspended. Oops, bitch, conflict of interest much, bitch.
There was all this discussion about whether from the river
to the sea Palestine will be free, whether that's anti semitic,
it is anti semitic. The squad members, all of them, motherfuckers, AOC,
(33:42):
Cory Bush, the bald one, Jamal Bowman, they all voted
that that's not offensive, that it's not anti Semitic.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I could get more trouble for Colin. What's the bold
squad member?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
The girl I love when I'm asking questions and I'm
asking them to myself, Iona Presley, I could get in
more trouble for snapping on the squad. I guarantee you
I could hurt their feelings way more. Oh, you don't
get offended when people say from the river to the sea,
(34:21):
Palestine will be free, which you could twist it however
you want to twist it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You could spin it however you want to spin it.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That means you want the eradication of fucking Jews from Israel.
Fuck out of here, you Bell Peppernose, motherfucker bald ass
Iona Presley, Corey Bush looked like your breath smells like shit.
I bet you would get offended by that. Good your
daughter got suspended homeschool. These motherfuckers, she ain't going back
(34:49):
to Columbia. They're all camping out there with the same tents,
with the same face coverings because they're being paid by
the same motherfucker. You think these people that are out
they're protesting or doing it for the love of the game.
They're simply doing it for the love of the game.
Fuck No, fuck no. I guarantee you some of these
(35:10):
people are being paid. I guarantee you their tents were
paid for. They all go shopping at the same place.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Fuck out of here.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What a disgrace, a disaster for the fine institutions of
learning Columbia University and Barnard College.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
If your parents are spending money.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Watching you scream and yell at Jewish students, scream and
yell that you are Hamas flushing their money down the tubes.
In real fucking time, I would be like, you ain't
going back next yo, keep your tent because you're not
(35:55):
coming home. You certainly not going back to school wasting
and ips time with this hate fielled party. And you
might go microrap, why don't you go up there? I
might go up there. I might fucking go up there,
but I don't want to stir the pot. But I
might have to go up there.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I might have to go up there and show the
Jewish students some love. Motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
They're comfortable screaming at Jewish people, They're comfortable screaming anti
Semitic things. They're comfortable with all that shit. Fuck out
of here, Get the fuck off the campus, Get the
fuck out.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Of New York. Are you even from New York?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Your anti democracy, anti Western civilization, there's plenty of places
from you. Go to Ramalah, go to Iran, go to Lebanon.
You won't last a fucking afternoon cos play freedom fighting freaks.
(37:00):
It was another thing that was discussed at these hearings
that stuck out to me. They call it Ashkanazi ashka normal.
I can't even pronoun they make these things up. Oshka normativity,
Ashka Ashka normativity. This is basically that they think that
(37:24):
every single Ashganazi Jew and I'm Ashkenazi, I'm the inflamed Ashkanazi.
They think every Ashganazi Jew is shitting gold booyons and
a kazillionaire billionaire. And they discussed this on campus. Miles
Jordan play that clip as well.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Let me read to you how Ashka normativity is defined
by your uh, you seem to you don't know if
it comes from students or professor school, but Ashka normativity
is defined as a system of oppression that favors white
Jewish folks based on the assumption that all Jewish folks
are Ashkenazi or from Western Europe.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So do you do you have.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
A response to that definition of ashcan normativity.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Is it appropriate? This is handed out to your students
by other students.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It is not a product of the faculty of Columbia
University out to your students.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Obviously you allow this to be handed out to your students.
Is that appropriate?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
As I said, it is not a product of the
faculty or the administration. It is something that a group
of students produced. I don't necessarily I don't agree with it.
I think it's not very useful. I don't condone it.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
See now, what I want to start is Ashka, go
fuck yourself. I want to teach a class at Columbia
Barnard Hunter mit on Ashka, go fuck your self, and
the class will basically be about how Ashkar Nazi Jews
and old Jews should start telling people to go fuck themselves,
(39:05):
to go funk themselves, to go funk their mother or
their father, and go funk themselves.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
And if you aren't privileged.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Wave it in their face, tell them don't be jealous,
you're jealous, ass bitch. And if he ain't privileged, tell
them to go fuck themselves. Oshka, normalativity. Get the fuck
out of here. Anyway, Do not forget what all this
is about. Do not forget how this started. On October seventh,
Israel was attacked on October seventh, twelve hundred plus civilians
(39:38):
were raped, murdered, and kidnapped, and here we are, one
hundred and ninety six days later.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I'm done.

Michael Rapport aka the Inflamed Ashkenazi aka the Raging Bullshitter
aka the Disruptive Warrior. The Iron Rapport Stereo Podcast is
coming live and direct from New York City. As you
could hear the beeping, the beeping back in the great
(02:44):
City of New York. Happy to be back. Had an
uneventful flight back to New York, thank goodness. And now
I'm here. I am here, back in New York. And
we are New York and wiggity. We love basket ball.
We're gonna tickety take it all. We are the New
(03:06):
York Knicks who are about to take on the New
York Knicks are about to take on, holy shit, the
Philadelphia seventy six ers. The last time we played the
Philadelphia seventy six ers in the playoffs, we swept them,
real nice and real proper. But that was oh so
long ago. Anyway, I'll get to that, get to a
(03:31):
bunch of things once again. I had to cancel my
shows in Royal Oak rescheduling. I promise, I promise, I
will make my way to Michigan.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
But I am at the Mohegan.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
The Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Unskinville, whatever the fuck that is.
I've got like this place has got five different pronunciations,
the twenty fifth, twenty sixth, and twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
At Mohegan Sun. And then I'm gonna even in.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Madison, Wisconsin, May second first shows already sold out. They
added a second show and then Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, May third.
I'm being Cincinnati the seventeenth and the eighteenth. All tickets,
all information is available at Michael Rapaportcomedy dot com. Migey
Michael Rapaport Comedy dot com. Had a good trip in
(04:25):
Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Good shows.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Shout out to everybody who came to the shows at
the Comedy Store. Shout out to everybody who came to
the shows.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
At Flappers. Not quite.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Spring spring weather as I would expect here in New York,
but it is playoff time, and what can I say,
There's a lot to talk about NBA playoffs. Got me fired,
got me fired up. I'm fired up on all fronts.
I am fired up on all fronts. The Knick start
(04:58):
their quest for an NBA championship this weekend versus their
arch rival Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Joel the Troell Embiid
his back. Although I don't expect them to make it
through this entire series. Joel Embiid unfortunately will get injured
(05:20):
and not make it through this entire series. But even
if Joel Embiid was with the Sixers this entire series,
the Knicks would beat their ass. So if Joel Embiid,
and I hope he stays healthy, I hope all players
on all teams always stay healthy. If Joel Embiid does
make it through the series, great, we're winning. Tyrese Maxi
(05:45):
will be flying around. Great, the Knicks are still winning.
Tobias Harris is far from one hundred percent. Not my
fucking problem. Kelly Ubray, Buddy Healed, will be firing. But
what has me most confused and fired up is that,
for some reason, the sportsbooks have the Sixers officially listed
(06:06):
as the favorite of the series, the seventh seed favored
over the second seed. Bet on that, if you know,
if you don't make any bets on anything, bet on
that the Knicks have a lot of motivation. Paul Reid
even went on Chandler Parsons Show and was giddy about
(06:26):
facing the Knicks over the Celtics word Miles Jordan play
that clip.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
But one of the news matchup.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Of course, that's the easier team, I guess, but you
know it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Big mistake, big mistake, big bulletin board material. Not to
mention that Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart got snubbed.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
By team.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You say this summer, the Knicks are ready for war.
I don't know how Jalen Brunson isn't on the Olympic team.
I know how Kyrie Irving isn't on the Olympic team,
which I'll get to that in a minute. But Jalen
Brunson ain't on the Olympic team. Fine, the Knicks are
winning this series. The Knicks are ready to rumble. They
(07:22):
have multiple seven footers they could throw at MBAD, who
again is hobbled. They squeaked by the fucking Miami heat
the other night. The Sixers have no one who contained JB.
Jalen Brunson. Bully ball bruntson Og is back and the
Knicks have three losses with him in the lineup. Most importantly,
the Knicks defense to offense is going to run the
(07:43):
fucking Sixers ragged. Madison Square Garden's gonna be going crazy.
New York's gonna be going crazy. I got the Knicks
winning in six games. I got the Knicks winning this
in six The next series that I want to talk
about is the Lakers the Nuggets. These two teams, remember
(08:05):
last year they met in the Western Conference Finals and
the Nuggets tossed the Lakers out of the playoffs with
relative ease, went on to win that Chicky Chip. Yes,
there's more confidence with the Lakers between Russell Ruie Reeves
(08:26):
having to go playing Denver Lebron. He's old, looks like
he's not. I'm sure he's in an incubator right now,
getting his blood levels ready to rumble. Anthony Davis if
they have any chance of beating the Joker in Denver,
Anthony Davis, Number one, you need to stay on the court.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This guy. There's always something wrong with this fucking guy.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But he needs to be at an MVP level, and
I don't think he can sustain an MVP level. I
got the Nuggets winning this series in five or six games, Okay,
that's my prediction. Put it on Wiggedy Wax and then
heading back to the East. The Pacers versus the Bucks,
(09:10):
the Freak, the freaky one, Giannis Anto Bakumbo, the Greek
Freak is going to miss the start of the series.
Pacers have put the Bucks in a blender with the
freak and without the Freak. It's going to take a
herk ullion effort from Dame Dollar to keep it close.
(09:31):
But I'm concerned about him. I'm concerned about the freak,
and I'm concerned about the Bucks. Usually the Bucks are
able to bully with size no Diddy, but now Indiana
can match that and counter with speed. I have the
Pacers winning this series in five or six games. Then
we go back to the West, the Clippers versus the Mavericks.
(09:54):
These teams don't like each other all right. The Clippers
have gotten the best of Lucas so far, especially in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
But uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The one concern for the Clippers is the health of
their best player, Kawhi Leonard being up in the air.
You never fucking know this time of year with Kawhi,
he always breaks down. Unfortunately, I don't know this is
gonna be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If Kawhi can't play the entire fucking series, anything can happen.
The Maps have had their best defensive starting unit since
trading for PJ. Washington and Daniel Gafford. We love the Clippers,
we love Luka. We're rooting for the Clippers. But I
have to say, with Kyrie being hurt and Luca and
(10:46):
Kooki Kyrie, they're playing fucking good. They're playing good. I
gotta go with Denver Dallas. I'm sorry the Mavericks to
win this series. I think it's gonna be a good series,
and I think it's all be a fun series. But
I got to take the Mavericks, and I'm going to
take the Mavericks in I'm gonna take the Mavericks in seven,
and then back to the East Calves the Cleveland Cavaliers
(11:10):
versus the Orlando Magic. I don't know what to make
of Cleveland. On paper, this should be a Cleveland series.
It seems like this is a coaching mismatch. We know
the stars are Donovan Mitchell, Pallo ban Chano. Spider might
be out of Cleveland if the rumors are true. I
(11:31):
don't know Spider gonna Spider. There's gonna be a lot
of defense in this game.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Maverick. Did the Magic have a shot?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I like band Chanro, I like Franz Wagner and company,
but I'm gonna take Cleveland because they have more experience
and they have the Spider Man. To win this series,
I'm gonna take Cleveland. I'm gonna take Cleveland in seven,
and then the last series the Suns verse the Timberwolves.
I would love nothing more than the Timberwolves to bump
(12:00):
the fucking Suns. Kevin Durant is fucking bullshit right out
of the first fucking round. This is size versus shooting.
Minnesota got Karl Anthony Town's back. They call him the catman,
nas Reed and of course Anthony Edwards. There's gonna be
a fucking problem. This is gonna be a good series,
(12:24):
a lot of stars, a lot of scoring. But I
like the Timberwolves to find a way to beat the
shit out of the Suns in five I'm gonna say
six games. Turn out the fucking lights, Kevin Durant, you
fucked yourself once more? Do you fucked yourself once more?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Man, fuck, that'll be awesome. Imagine they get bumped in
five games. I'm gonna say six games. I'm gonna say
six games the Timberwolves bump Kevin Durant and the Phoenix
Suns and six fucking games. It's the NBA playoffs and listen.
I predicted in the last episode of the im Rappaport
(13:06):
Stereo podcast that the Bulls would handle the Hawks. I
was correct, that the Lakers would pluck the Pelicans and
that the Sixers would hold off the Heat.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I did that I did that, and me and the captains.
It's a group effort.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Me and the captains at captainpicks dot com the think
tank win three and one on our predictions.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
We only missed and I think I said, well, I
did my feelings. We only missed that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We thought the Warriors would take care of business. Turn
out the lights. Turn out the fucking lights. The party
is unfortunately over for Golden State. They gotta do something.
They can't come back with the same crew next year.
It looks like Clay will be elsewhere unless they bring
them back for nostalgia sake. The Warriors, they just they
(13:59):
got too much money on the books and they need
to start giving more minutes to the young guys and.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
See what they got.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But it was bonvoyage to the Golden State Warriors and
the Atlanta Hawks. We still have two sudden death games,
the Kings at the Pelicans and the Bulls first to heat.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Zion Williamson hurt again.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, Zion Williamson, He's unbelievable, but he doesn't dominate
a game. He's a dominant force, but he hasn't figured
out how to dominate a game. I don't know if
that makes sense. But I just feel like he's just
not I don't know, he just doesn't have that personality
to fuckingdominate and he should. He's big, he's explosive when
(14:41):
he's not hurt, but even when he's scoring forty points,
I don't know. There's just something about him. There's something
about him. Jimmy Butler also tweaked his MCL he's gonna
be out with Terry. Listen, the NBA is here. It
made my predictions. And as I said earlier, Kyrie Irving kooky.
(15:03):
Kyrie Irving was left off the Olympic basketball team. And
it's not about talent with you, Kyrie, we know your talent.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The reason why you were left off the Olympic team
is because these guys know you.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Grant Hill's a duke guy, Krushewsky, they know you. You
can't be going to the Olympics and possibly saying some
wacky shit, smoking something over there and Parry drinking something
there and Parry and next thing you know, you're posting
(15:38):
videos or saying some kookie shit.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right now, you're.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All passively aggressively smiling at the press conference. Miles Jordan
to play a little bit of KOOKI Kyrie talking about
why and what he thought about not being invited back
to the Olympic team.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I wish my brothers well and I just didn't fit
into this team, and I think the deliberation process was
a tough one. But again, I have nothing but respect
for those guys over at USA B. You know, at
this point in my career, I think my focus should
be on winning the championship and you know, in the summertime,
just going to support those guys when I get a chance.
(16:18):
But yeah, I grew up in a time too. I
wanted to say this. I grew up in a time
too where we actually had to try out for USA
B and we did meet up as a group and
as peers, and there was a mutual respect that we
earned from one another and trying out and then seeing
what five meshed well. So I think obviously the timing's
a little bit different, But yeah, I kind of missed
(16:38):
those days of just being able to get everybody together,
break bread and then compete against one another. And then
the deliberation process happens at the end of like the
four days and five day process. Even though people know
who's gonna be on the team, you know what I'm saying, so,
I just I missed that fun.

playing and simple. It's playing and fucking simple. Podcast thirty
(17:36):
fucking years, thirty years since.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Probably my favorite. It's hard to say my favorite. It's
definitely top five favorite albums of all time. Illmatic Nas.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Illmatic Nas came out thirty years ago. It seems like
every every year, every anniversary of this record, we talk
about it. I've talked about this this album many times
on the Iron Rapport Stereo podcast.

This is a perfect, perfect album.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Came out nineteen ninety four, ten tracks, game changing record.
It's really nine tracks because the first track, Genesis is
them talking.
Speaker 2 (18:27):

Shout out to the Zebrahead soundtrack my first film, Zebrahead.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
This song Halftime.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Is in the opening scenes of the film that I
made my debut in.

Zebrahead halftime by Naj was on the soundtrack for zebra
Head before Plint.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
I'll take you out my front, so then I start
the front. Mat of fact, I'll be on a manhunt.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton
of refall.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
That's like Malcolm X catching a chungle feeble King Poetic
too much flavor a major Atlanta at Brayful. I put
my number like a beja because I'm an ace one.
I faced the base forty side is the play status
getting the league race? Now wait another, don't say you
might be dead and now a nikehead, I would change
that excite defense. Ain't ain't a damn thaithe on a change.
(19:17):
I'm gonna perform a strange show to Mike Warmer on
the change. Now is why did you do it? You
know you got the mad fat through it when you're
from It's halftime of course.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
This album is produced by Q Tip Pete rock Large
pro Large Professor, the producer l E. S and shit,
I mean this is this is a perfect record. It's
a perfect record. And like I said, we talked about
this record many times. When I had Omar Epps.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We were on the.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Set of Higher Learning, Matter of Fact, Miles Jordan, Play
Me and Omar Epps talking about Illmatic and had how
Omar Epps, who I co starred with in Higher Learning,
iconic actor from Juice so Forth, om Apps everybody knows
Omar Aps play that and play Me and DJ Premiere
(20:10):
and Premiere talking about producing and working with Nas on
the thirtieth anniversary the thirtieth anniversary of the classic record
by Godson Nasir, Nas Jones, nas Escobar Play that for me,
(20:31):
Miles Jordan.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And I remember walking by your trailer.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I distinctly remember walking by your trailer and hearing aasy
on Life's a Bitch, and nobody was really fucking me.
It wasn't like we were like not cool, but it
was just kind of like we didn't really know each other.
Like you you had a bunch of people with you
in the trail, not a bunch of few people.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I go, Yo, what the fuck is that?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And and like somebody was like that's Nas, that's the
Allmatic shit. And I were like word and like they
were like, yeah, get the fuck out of here, Remy,
you know. But my question didn't to you is first,
how did you get that tape? I mean, the statutory
limits are fine to how did you get it? And like,
what do you remember about do you remember?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Like me, I remember, I remember all of this in detail.
So one of the you know, new deal John Singleton's
production company that they had called me up there. You know,
we're doing fittings or.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Right, So I walked by this office, right, and I
see a pile of cassettes, right, And I literally I
walked by this office and I see a blue cassette
and it said NADS on it, and.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I was like, yo, so I'm backtracked.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I said, Joe, that's the Nurse of Them and he was.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Like what, And I said, they just got this shit
sitting on the politics.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Like I felt like it was so disgustingly disrespectful, and
so I had to swipe that this was it had
to be like February or January.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
We knew it was coming, but you didn't hear any
of it.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
You didn't hear it, but you just heard a lot
of talk and excitements coming. So I get the cassette.
As soon as we get into it, leave that we're
listening and we're like, this is the NAS album And
it was the whole record. It was the whole our
heads exploded. We were I mean, that was rotation for
like until the album came out.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Believe that they had NAS's album, his first album, Illmatic,
on a pile of cassettes, like it was just discarded.
So I felt, you know, as hip hop our culture,
I had.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
To guard this thing.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yourself. Yeah, so you knew you were gonna do three
songs on the record.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Okay, So the second one was New New York State
of Mind. And that's when he came in, and uh,
we were just fishing through records, me and him, just
he just sitting there dropping. I'm just dropping the needle.
And I pulled up to Joe Chambers record and I
cleared this so I could say the name. You know,
I don't like to get all sample. We clear this
(23:01):
jokes Chambers. Everybody yes, and thumbing around.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And what's the first part? What's the jokes? Chambers? Simple
like a piano?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Okay. Yeah, So when we had heard that, because first
it goes down around.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
And then all of a sudden goes around. It just
breaks down all of a sudden. You know, if you
if you were just listening to that more around. He's
really noisy around. He would have been like, I skipping
the next record whatever, play for just a couple more seconds.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It just goes round around, it calms down, and we
both look at each other like, yo, wind that back.
No no no, no no no. He said, you can flip that.
I said, hold on, put in my my Myami, pat
he says, he said, watching me do it, he said,
I'm going there. So he's always it's just a little funny,
(24:02):
you know, just be and then all of a sudden,
you're playing now is doing that? You know so?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And when you're doing that, when you're making specifically like
New York City and you're hearing that and it sounding
like fucking ship.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But that's me just putting into the machine.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But you're you're clear, you have a clear set goal.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You're like, you know, like, but it has to sort
of go get it to get to something.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I call it experiment mode. That's what I call it.
I'm experimenting because it might not work. The only part
I already had rolling was the do you know the
part beginning when he's like, you know, it's time straight
out the fucking dunder the rep That part already had
(24:43):
but that's all I had, you.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Know, she just had that as a potential something.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I was like, I want I definitely. I'm very good
at knowing what temple I wanted to be, and I
was like, I already did represent that's more up temple,
But like I want to get one. Is just I
like slow beats. You know, just could I drive a lot?
I love driving and just blasting music. It's it's just
a thing. Sometimes I just like drive for hours and
(25:08):
just be by myself because you ride with somebody the
talk in the middle of it. It's like, oh, man,
enjoyed this. So I just rib about myself a lot
and just blast my music. So and not my music
that I make. I like listen to other people.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I got you, but so was that rhyme written? Was
his verses val you and then go ahead to then
what happens?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So then once I got the where I'm gonna catch it,
he's like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And he starts writing.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
He always sits at the desk, and I don't know.
I still haven't ask him. Why does he do this?
He starts doing this and maybe because while the music
is kind of loud in the room, I guess doing this,
you can hear yourself. Maybe I never even say, yo,
why do you do that? All the years I've known,
at least from the those albums, at least the first
three or three albums we worked on, he's always at
(25:55):
the front of the desk and just like like he's
wrapping into his hand. Next thing you know, he's ready
to cut the first verse. And once he cut the
first verse, he did in one take and one One
thing I love about it, which I've said in other interviews,
is I love how he's looking at the paper and
uh when he says straight out the fucking dune is
(26:17):
a rapper, fake niggas, don't don't make it back. I'm
getting ready to count him in, but he's not looking.
He goes, I don't know how to start this, and
you hear him say that rappers.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I'm gonna be flip him with the poke then the
moppie kicking musician.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It flipping composition.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Okay, I'm like small face sniffing, poking, holding a sixteen.
See what the pan I'm explained now, Pullet holes left
in my pet cos I'm shooting up with street close
hand me and nine and out the beat close.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Y'all know my stilo without the damn play.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I keep some he a jay and siting ben up
been the stand wait either on the corner, bet and
brands with the silo chips, laughing at face sex, trying
to sell some boken apps, ge pasket on quick Forever.
My niggas talk shit and reminiscing about the last time
to test.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yo, you know what I'm saying. My booth is right
here and the board is literally at an angle sideway,
so I'm that close to just if I'm sitting there
at the board, he's literally right here in the glass.
So I'm sitting there going too, you know, like, let's
go because I have a recording already.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's fucking dope.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah, because sometimes you get the best take from practicing it,
because if you practice it, sometimes you nail it, and
then when you're ready to do it now, you're doing
too much to make it exactly too cute, so you
don't get the same If you don't get the same feel,
And I'm more of a feel person. If they don't
feel right, I'm like, yo, let's cut it again. And nah,
I could do it again. I'm like, yo, I'm the coach.
(27:43):
I hear you I'm listening to you. It's not better
than that take.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Anyway, great record, great podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
If you didn't hear those full episodes Me and DJ Premiere,
that's fucking Gem after Jem after Jem, And if you
didn't hear Me and a man Omar Apps Jim after
Jim after Jem, thirty years of Illmatic, classic record podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
What else is going on?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Crazy fucking shit here in New York City, Columbia University,
Barnard College on the Upper West Side and up area,
just blow Harlem, beautiful campuses, a lot of history, overrun
by fake student freedom fighters. Yes, protesting is great. Yes,
(28:47):
protesting is something you can't do. Oh no, you can't
do it in Iran. The fucking hang you on a crane,
you disappear in Iran. Can't certainly can't do it in Ramala,
Judea Samaria, can't do it in Gaza. You could do
it all you want in democratic ran countries like Israel.
(29:15):
But the ship that I am seeing, the ship that
I am hearing at Columbia University, these motherfuckers are out
of their fucking trees. Miles Jordan play play a couple
of the clips I heard somebody.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Saying we are all Hamas.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I also heard some motherfuckers saying that the Jews should
remember October seventh and that there will be more and
more October seventh. Play those clips Miles Jordan's.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You're of us who.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
First of all, your little bitch, your little we're all
your Hamas, your little bitch. Really, and then this little
motherfucker talking about there's gonna be more and more October.
So I wish a motherfucker would say that to me,
there's gonna be more October seventh, not one, not two.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Really, we're going around, we're shooting. That's a threat.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Where you threaten to fuck me, threatening to rape me,
you're threatening to kill me, burn me alive. Fuck out
of here, Fuck out of here with your your face
is all wrapped up in scarves and shit. That ain't
a protest. That's a threat. You're Hamas. You're promising more
(30:43):
October seventh. That's a threat of violence. I don't know
how these motherfuckers aren't arrested or at least getting baseball
bat or punching the fucking face or a bottle thrown
at their fucking head.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
This shit is happening as I record this.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I am Rappaport Stereo podcas in New York City and
as of the recording of this irom rap Port Stereo podcast,
it is day one hundred and ninety six. I was
just at the Qatar Embassy in New York City with
a bunch of hostage families, a bunch of people protesting,
and as frustrating as an upsetting as these scumbags are
(31:20):
at Columbia University saying this kind of bullshit, how they're Hamas.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And all this filthy shit.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The most important thing is to not forget that it
is day one hundred and ninety six since the hostages
were taken. There are still one hundred and thirty three hostages,
six who are from New York. You're in Columbia protesting,
screaming at people, when there's New York, citizens of New York,
(31:55):
citizens of New Jersey. You support these scum bags. The
other day there was hearings in Congress about all the
anti Semitism in Colombia. On Colombia, you had the the
squad ilion Omar squad member ilion Omar grilling people with questions.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Play that clip.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
I think I wanted to get a clarification earlier. One
of my colleagues asked you, have you seen anti Muslim
protests on campus?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I have seen. We have had pro Israeli demonstrations on Canada.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
No, but just a protest that was against Muslims.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Have you seen one against the Arabs?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
No? I have not.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
Have you seen one against Palestinians?
Speaker 5 (32:46):
No, I have not.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Have you seen against one against Jewish people? Have you
seen a protest saying we are against Jewish people?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
No? I have I have.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Okay, thank thank you for that clarification. There has been
a rise in targeting and harassment against anti war protesters
because it's been pro war and anti war protesters, is
what it seems like.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Correct, correct there?
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And oops.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The next day I lean Omore's daughter who goes to Bornart.
She got suspended. Oops, bitch, conflict of interest much, bitch.
There was all this discussion about whether from the river
to the sea Palestine will be free, whether that's anti semitic,
it is anti semitic. The squad members, all of them, motherfuckers, AOC,
(33:42):
Cory Bush, the bald one, Jamal Bowman, they all voted
that that's not offensive, that it's not anti Semitic.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I could get more trouble for Colin. What's the bold
squad member?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
The girl I love when I'm asking questions and I'm
asking them to myself, Iona Presley, I could get in
more trouble for snapping on the squad. I guarantee you
I could hurt their feelings way more. Oh, you don't
get offended when people say from the river to the sea,
(34:21):
Palestine will be free, which you could twist it however
you want to twist it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You could spin it however you want to spin it.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That means you want the eradication of fucking Jews from Israel.
Fuck out of here, you Bell Peppernose, motherfucker bald ass
Iona Presley, Corey Bush looked like your breath smells like shit.
I bet you would get offended by that. Good your
daughter got suspended homeschool. These motherfuckers, she ain't going back
(34:49):
to Columbia. They're all camping out there with the same tents,
with the same face coverings because they're being paid by
the same motherfucker. You think these people that are out
they're protesting or doing it for the love of the game.
They're simply doing it for the love of the game.
Fuck No, fuck no. I guarantee you some of these
(35:10):
people are being paid. I guarantee you their tents were
paid for. They all go shopping at the same place.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Fuck out of here.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What a disgrace, a disaster for the fine institutions of
learning Columbia University and Barnard College.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
If your parents are spending money.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Watching you scream and yell at Jewish students, scream and
yell that you are Hamas flushing their money down the tubes.
In real fucking time, I would be like, you ain't
going back next yo, keep your tent because you're not
(35:55):
coming home. You certainly not going back to school wasting
and ips time with this hate fielled party. And you
might go microrap, why don't you go up there? I
might go up there. I might fucking go up there,
but I don't want to stir the pot. But I
might have to go up there.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I might have to go up there and show the
Jewish students some love. Motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
They're comfortable screaming at Jewish people, They're comfortable screaming anti
Semitic things. They're comfortable with all that shit. Fuck out
of here, Get the fuck off the campus, Get the
fuck out.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Of New York. Are you even from New York?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Your anti democracy, anti Western civilization, there's plenty of places
from you. Go to Ramalah, go to Iran, go to Lebanon.
You won't last a fucking afternoon cos play freedom fighting freaks.
(37:00):
It was another thing that was discussed at these hearings
that stuck out to me. They call it Ashkanazi ashka normal.
I can't even pronoun they make these things up. Oshka normativity,
Ashka Ashka normativity. This is basically that they think that
(37:24):
every single Ashganazi Jew and I'm Ashkenazi, I'm the inflamed Ashkanazi.
They think every Ashganazi Jew is shitting gold booyons and
a kazillionaire billionaire. And they discussed this on campus. Miles
Jordan play that clip as well.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Let me read to you how Ashka normativity is defined
by your uh, you seem to you don't know if
it comes from students or professor school, but Ashka normativity
is defined as a system of oppression that favors white
Jewish folks based on the assumption that all Jewish folks
are Ashkenazi or from Western Europe.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So do you do you have.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
A response to that definition of ashcan normativity.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Is it appropriate? This is handed out to your students
by other students.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It is not a product of the faculty of Columbia
University out to your students.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Obviously you allow this to be handed out to your students.
Is that appropriate?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
As I said, it is not a product of the
faculty or the administration. It is something that a group
of students produced. I don't necessarily I don't agree with it.
I think it's not very useful. I don't condone it.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
See now, what I want to start is Ashka, go
fuck yourself. I want to teach a class at Columbia
Barnard Hunter mit on Ashka, go fuck your self, and
the class will basically be about how Ashkar Nazi Jews
and old Jews should start telling people to go fuck themselves,
(39:05):
to go funk themselves, to go funk their mother or
their father, and go funk themselves.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
And if you aren't privileged.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Wave it in their face, tell them don't be jealous,
you're jealous, ass bitch. And if he ain't privileged, tell
them to go fuck themselves. Oshka, normalativity. Get the fuck
out of here. Anyway, Do not forget what all this
is about. Do not forget how this started. On October seventh,
Israel was attacked on October seventh, twelve hundred plus civilians
(39:38):
were raped, murdered, and kidnapped, and here we are, one
hundred and ninety six days later.
