right now, they're really making andthey're not just holding me down, they're

(03:05):
putting pressure on everybody else, youknow what I'm saying, Like, and
it's a few more people I wantto complain because look, I ain't saying
nothing about what BAT did yet,and I'm big, like, Nah,
they're on my radar, but Idon't want to put them on my radar
because the guy that went to Woodsonwith me, Tyler Perry, the being
there from uptown right, he ownsBT. So that's one reason why I
wouldn't say nothing. But damn y'allmiscash money. What happened with that?

(03:29):
Right? Right? And they barelyhad just a little bit of pe on
that. Yeah, Like, wewe where the gatekeepers for hip hop,
That's right. The only time you'veever seen two powerhouse labels that made millions
and millions of dollars kept a majorityof their publishing ever. Yeah, like

(03:50):
and change the dynamics of how hiphop was digested in America. Unapologetic young
black men wearing they white teas andreads, doing what they did right,
goals in their mouth, and nottrying to sound as if we were from
New York or the West Coast.We did out in the wallance talk and
we did what we did, andhundreds of rappers across America for the next

(04:15):
two decades emulated the Hot Boys orthe members of the Hot Boys, or
members of Cash Money or members ofNo Limits. Yeah, I mean,
they'll tell you. And how doyou not include us? I don't get
it. I don't you know whatshowed how to make money? The younger
generation will defend us. I've gotto say this, the younger generation,
these cats who grew up whose parentslistened to our music, who they grew

(04:38):
up around listening listening to their parentsplayoffs music. This younger generation, and
I'm giving them credit they actually goout there and fight for us because it's
a lot of these young cats that'sputting their music out that got our DNA
in it, and that's what keepsus alive. So I give them props.
But I also say, damn,won't y'all recognize that the youth is

(04:58):
paying attention to us? Won't y'allthe catsous in charge the Katsuo running things.
Wan't y'all recognized the exampling our music, they're using our music, they're
remaking our songs, and y'all don'tgive us credit for it. I just
don't get that, right. Youyourself one of the biggest singles in the
history of American music. Yes,we'll back that ass up. Yes,

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
