new surroundings. For the time being, we will return back

But in the meantime, this is where he's at and
this is what we're doing. This is okay, this is
(01:18):
a very special episode.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, very special episode. We finally got a guest. Okay,
somebody returned our calls and that that's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And you're gonna love this guest. That stop that stop

on with you?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Man? I'm great, I'm good, And I always want to
remind everybody to like and subscribe to the to the podcast,
whether you view us or or listen to us. It's
about Kid and Play and how we view the hip
hop culture, how we uh we love it and we
(01:58):
try to uplift it, and we have a little couple
of different uh views on it. You know, Play links
to veer toward the classic side of hip hop, which
is a great which is a great, a great way
to look at things.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Basically, I just speak on basically, I just speak on
what I know, what.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, I'm curious. I'm curious, so I lean toward
some of the newer artists and you know, just what
they're saying because we're all in this thing together, and
I think that, you know, we think that's important that
that the old school or the classic school recognize and celebrates.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And it's where the two meet each other. There's no
verses here. It's where the two meet each Other's where
the new school meets Hey, new school, would you like
to meet classics? Classics? Let me introduce you to some
possible future classics, and we find out that we have
more in common than we thought we knew. And all
it takes is a conversation. So Kid and I are
(03:03):
your glorified mediators so to speak, moderators, so to speak,
not media moderators, all.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Right, and on that note, excuse me. On that note,
we always like to start with a song of the day.
Each one of us likes to put forth a song
of the day that it inspires us that maybe you'd
like to listen to and check out. Mine is on
the New School tip. I just saw this video the
(03:31):
other day, heard the song, caught the video. It's Megan
the Stallion, who's very hot right now, very very popular,
one of one of the most popular female rappers out
and there's a lot of them. You know, you've got
You've got Megan, You've got Cardie, you've got a Lotto,
(03:51):
You've got Gloilla, you've got City girls. There's never been
more really great or or you know female rappers that
are really doing well for themselves. So this is a
joint she got. It's called Boa. And the reason why
it really caught my eye was I could imagine, I
(04:14):
could imagine listen listen Brouh and Paul video man pause
total total pause. Like most of the video is is
she's blurried. She's blurred because she she ain't got nothing on.
She's you know what I'm saying. So so I'm like,
(04:34):
I'm listening, but I'm watching.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So maybe it was half the video and half the thing.
But this is the thing. And I will say this
on a serious note, these ladies can rap there. There's
never been. Look, we came up in a in an
era where there weren't allowed of female rapp so we
(05:00):
had to revere the ones we had. So we love
Salt and Pepper and we love Queen Latifah, and we
love MC light and we love money Love. But you know,
I think the playing field has expanded. So that's my joint.
Schied Megan Stallion. She's everywhere. You never there. Watch the video.
(05:20):
She's mad blurry and that's what that's.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I've never heard that before. Anybody tells you to watch
something because it's mad blurry. You know what I'm saying
that that's that's the first. But anyway, it's funny. You
should mention this topic, which yours would include a female artist.
I could go back further than the ones you've mentioned,
and one of those you mentioned is my pick for
(05:45):
the day. But we go back as far as Shah Rock,
we go back as far as Sparky d go back
as far as the US Girls, and and and and
so many more. There wasn't a lot, like you said, uh,
the playing field or the attendances a lot you know
today and they're doing it thing. But my who I
have on my list today the place classics is our
(06:09):
sisters Salt and Pepper, and shout out to Spinderella as well.
But it's my mic. Sounds nice by Salt and Pepper,
produced by our dude, Herbie the love Bug, and it
was done in nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Look at that picture, man, that's crazy, man. Now the
reason that's the original, Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's what the first Spinderella that's not with the Spindy
we know d d Roper to be e Zach Big
shout out to our husband Q. But the reason why
I picked this one was everyone knows, or maybe motion
know if you know your history. The first record that
Salton Pepper came out with they were called SuperNature, and
the record they came out was show Stopper, which was
(06:54):
an answer to Dougie Fresh and Slick Ricks The show
Now some people as a big record is that was
in New York, Philly, Jersey tri state area. Most naysayers
would have considered that a fluke, like yeah, you know,
they did a record off of it, already established beat
(07:14):
and a hit record, what else could it be? But
when they came out with this joint my Mic Sounds Nice,
this was exceptional for a couple of reasons. Number one
had showed that they could wrap number two. It used
Grover Washington Junior's Mister Magic joint, which was a favorite
in the clubs, you know, or rather as far as
(07:37):
hip hop goes over them taking a phrase my mic
sounds nice, check one, my mic sounds nice? Check two?
Are you ready? It demanded attention because the phrase alone,
the track alone was something that was definitely brought attention
to hip hoppers that, like, you know what, maybe there's
(07:58):
more to these sisters than them just being on the
bandwagon of an already established hit record. So my joint
is my Mic Sounds Nice by Salt and Pepper, produced
by our friend and producer as well, Herbie Lovebuggain was
done in nineteen eighty six and this was on Next
Plateau Records. That's when this came out. So that's my
(08:20):
classic joint for this episode today.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I got you. I got you very well said, well said.
So we're gonna keep it moving because we got a
really big show for you today.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So we're gonna move it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We we're gonna move it up to you know this,
it's all the people are talking, all the streets, so whispering.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And the mail and the mail is always all the
mail is snailing, snail mail.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It was always either right, this is say less or
doing the most say less what we got on this one. Okay,
so let me let me break this down real quick.
Now we all knowing love Lil Wayne. He's one of
the great rappers weaze of his generation. And apparently Little
(09:06):
Wayne's old rhyme book like rhymes that he wrote like
we used to do. You know, I got rhyme books
you had, We had rhyme books. That's what we did.
We didn't read it off the phone. I couldn't come
off the dome like jay Z.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, it's not the reason not to mention when we
did it, there was no cell phones, not like not
like the ones we dot today that fai it was
the brick bl and you could not read anything on
those phones.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, not on the brick. But all right, so this
is the thing. Lil Wayne's old rhyme book came up.
Came up in found in a car, some car he
left it in that used to belong to somebody from
Cash Money Records. Okay, look looking right at it. Apparently
(09:54):
this rhyme book is up for sale for five million dollars.
What right now the key is this or one of
the keys is Okay, rhyme book. That's very important. I mean,
like I said, it's it's something that we all did.
But I think at some point Wayne had a reputation
(10:16):
like he doesn't write his rhymes, like like he just
you know, like kind of like what jay Z does
or or I think I think even Biggie did it too,
you know, like they could just could just formulate it
in their head and then uh you know and then
recite it. So there's a little disconnect. Or maybe that's
how he used to uh create, you know, write it down,
(10:40):
and now he doesn't do that anymore, and also does
is he entitled to the rhyme book? Can he get
it back. Does he have to buy it back? Should
should somebody who owns it give it back? You know,
is it a value? Do you care? Well?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think it could be. It's not like he can't
afford it. I don't know if he should be spending
that much money on his own piece. But being the
type of I've never met him before, but from what
I've gathered and the way he has evolved, I can
see him maybe getting it at a reasonable price in
(11:22):
order for it to be maybe donated to a museum
or where it can benefit someone in some kind of
way that I can see it. But it wouldn't still
be considered his property.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know that that's a that's a great question
we needed, we need we might need a lawyer for that, Like.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well, maybe our next guests can be able to help
us with that, now that I think about it, you
know what I'm saying. I mean, I believe he do
more school or something like. But yeah, I think that's
an interesting question. And it's what a series of events
that took place for it to end up in this
kind of city situation, which is amazing because I know,
(12:02):
and we discussed it on another show that either has
aired already or will air. In regards to the fact
of him, Jay Z and a couple of others, there
was this time where it was quite something for rappers
of his stature and skills that they didn't write anything down.
(12:23):
It was all off the dome, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, I mean that's that's yeah to me. That that
part was always kind of amazing to me, you know
what I mean. And maybe that's just how hip hop
or rappers have evolved, you know what I mean. It's
almost like how athletes have evolved, Like, you know, yeah,
you get you get better and better. But yeah, I
(12:45):
always felt like I always felt like I had to
write it down and then memorize it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
But you can't beat up on yourself too bad because
it's not like those type of rap skills existed prior
to or you. And then now that puts you in
a position to feel a certain type of way about
how you go about doing what you do, how you
do it. It was always like that because we all went
to school. Anything you were going to recite, remember to
(13:14):
beget it with create it was gonna involve a notebook,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Process, it's a process and everybody has, and everybody has
their own process, speak in a process. I think it's
time for us to reveal somebody special that we have
that we have on the show.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I agree, and I don't mind asking him this question
before we let him go. So, you know, ladies and gentlemen,
our next segment, which is called next on the mic,
which is really literal, we have a very special guest,
and that special guest is a friend to many. He's
a blessing to many. Let's just call it for what
(13:55):
it is. And ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our guest
and friend, Pastor Jamal Bryant.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Hey, family, how's everybody? Let me say this to y'all
before we go into anything. I am so angry.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
This is not an in person podcast.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I feel cheated. Death to Zoom, Death to Zoom, death
extream yard. I wanted everybody to build.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't. I can't even take a picture. People gonna
think it's AI. That is photo shot.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Hey man, don't don't blame it on our hearts, you know,
blame it on the budget.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But anyway, thank you all for having me.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Honest, we will definitely, we will definitely have you back.
No offans a bunch about it, because you know, one
of the things you're known for, pastor is your attire.
So come on, man, we can't just show them a
f you know.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Listen, I put on my Easter outfit because I thought
I was in House party four.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was getting heavy after house Monday fifteen. Right now,
But anyway, how were you doing? And how is everything?
How is the family? How is everything?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Everything is moving along.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I'm coming to you all alive outside of the DNC
where people are getting synergized and mobilized for November.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
So it's a great time to be alive.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Isn't it an exciting time of what? I had a
chance to watch some things last night on TV that
I know we all know what I'm talking about. I
don't know when this is going to air, so I
won't you know, date it, But it's just amazing to
see that it isn't so bad or so how would
you how would you describe it? Prior to two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You know, not a.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lotbody was excited. We were just going on, We were
going on with the flow. It was it was loyalty.
It was death by loyal.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Which is important, which is important, But to your point,
if the if the goal is not going to be
met and there's another option, then we have to make.
These are hard decisions and sometimes people feelings are gonna
get hurt. Yes, and certain people have to be uplifted
(16:16):
and rise to the occasion. Right, So yeah, we you know,
if you if you're on the left, we're sure better
than we were a month ago.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well like what someone say one time, they said we
were going to vote that way because we had to.
Now we're glad we're voting that way because we want to.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, it's a grown up moment that is countercultural
to hip hop because we were having people to vote
on policy and not personality.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, so we said, forget.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
How we talks, forget that he's stumbling going into the planet.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Vote for your future.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now we got somebody who dropping bobs, somebody who's articulating,
somebody who's casting vision, somebody who is showing us a
brighter way, and somebody that we can actually point to
our daughters and say that this is achievable.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
There is an elegance in class in that a whole
lot of women is not a whole lot of ladies.
And so if the only thing they can find wrong
with is how she laughs.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well, you know it's great because you're not. Your relationship
to this whole thing we're talking about is not just
you going up to the voting booth and voting. Your participation,
your contribution, your ministry in it is a lot deeper
than that. So would you please be so kind to
share with us your project five five five? Please?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yes, But you are the professor, So I want to
give contexts to five five five on why it is
that I am here. When doctor King was leading the
civil rights movement, nobody asked Chris what did the Dell
Findex think about Vietnam? Nobody was asking Temptations what they
thought about Edmund Pettis Bridge. I am living in a
(18:08):
place I say it with shame that this is the
very first time entertainers are more influential than preachers.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So you mean we could come to a new audition.
Now we can walk up to the new edition and
act new addition.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yes, yes, So I am on this podcast as a preacher.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Can you imagine that I'm on the podcast as a
preacher to get.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
The word out to a demographic drum roll that don't
go to church, that has righteous convictions, but don't believe
in organized religion. And so five y five is our
real grassroots effort that every person would register five people
(18:50):
to vote, that we would get five people within our
orbit to register.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Here it is to be pole watchers that we are are.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Asking every person to get five churches in your community
to make sure that you give us.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Your busses and your bans.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
On election day, Desmond two two said something Chris that
messed me up. He said, how many black churches would
be alive if poor people had to vote every year
whether they get to stay open?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And so I think when we get to this election,
I think that the church has really got to step up.
But it is not again on personality, it's on policy.
How many of our churches are talking about Project twenty
twenty five, how many understand what DEI means? How many
we doing the electric slide backwards, that they banning books,
(19:44):
that they are defunding HBCUs. And so I know we
hear all the time just the most important election of
our lifetime, but this time it really is and we've
really got to go through it. When you go through
Project twenty twenty five, I know it has become viral
in social media. But I'm going to just throw out
to the listeners just five points that are so critical.
(20:07):
Number one, if you go to public school, when you
turn eighteen, you are automatically enlisted in the military. But
if you in private Christian school, you get to opt out.
The majority of our people are in public school. Number two,
they want to enlarge the death penalty. Now, these are
(20:29):
the same people at the Heritage Foundation that says they
pro life, But who does the death penalty impact black
and brown people? Number three, because I'm on here with
three black men, they want to raise the age of retirement.
Black men die earlier than any other demographic in the nation.
(20:51):
So if they raise that retirement age, brothers is going
to croak out before they can cash out. Number four,
they want to dismantle Medicaid, Medicare, social Security. The average
black man, who is seven years older than everybody in
this podcast. The average black man seven years older than
Inybouyd in this podcast, only goes to the doctor when
(21:13):
they go to the emergency room. Number five very critical,
very critical, is that they want to defund every every
college that teaches black history.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
If you teach.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Black history, then you are no longer eligible to receive
federal funds. I got to give you all the hood translation,
I got five on it. So these are the five
reasons why it is that you got to vote, and
I got to add to it. Don't just vote at
the top of the ticket. You got to vote all
the way down. Some of the stuff the black community
(21:49):
has never focused on. Who's going on the school board,
who's the counter commissioner, who lives? Often says something that
mess me up a act of revolutionary service, y'all ain't
gonna be ready for it.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Getting Nick Ross to show up for jewelry duty. I'm guilty.
Soon as I get that notice, I'm trying to get out.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
We don't even realize how it is impacting our community
and how it's impacting the fate of those who are
coming behind us.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Wow, wow ya, you dropped like mad bombs.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We gotta at least start getting in our budget sound effects.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Who but this and every pastor everything you said was
so so on point and so crucial. And you know
you're you're in that environment right now. The energy in
Chicago must be must be pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
It's I'm believable, It's energetic, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Watching it at home and and I feel so feel
bad that I'm not there because you know what I mean,
But I I feel it coming through the television, every speaker,
every you know what I mean. You know what I mean?
It was? Is it? Is it? Are you feeling it
that way?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Listen? It's Essence Festival me towed with Homecoming. It's uh majority.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can't even get in and okay, and all of
that's still on steroids and stuff. Yeah, so, you know,
speak about a small world. As I was watching it
aggressively last night, talk about a small world and talk
about a house party. I saw our friend and director
of House Party on stage, Reggie Hudland, you know, and
(23:38):
I looked up on Yeah, I looked up on Google
that he produced the film that's going to play before
Vice President Harris speaks on Thursday. Because I'm wondering knowing Reggie,
he's been known to produce these type of events, but
long and behol I caught him and I was like, Wow,
(23:59):
that's really really special. But can you tell us about
the Jam for Justice tour as well?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, the Jam for Justice We're going to here it
is again five Cities. Eric Ababdua is rolling with us.
Uh be rolling with us. Uh is gonna be heartfelt.
We're going to into five major cities. If you want information, listeners,
as you go to Jamal Bryant dot org, Jamal bryan
dot org, drop your email and I'm gonna eat blass
(24:27):
to you your beats. But Charlotte is the next city
coming up. Detroit is coming up. But we're going to
the five major swing states to galvanize the vote. I
got to tell you all this why so important in
the ten swing states.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Y'all ain't gonna believe.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It's ten million eligible unregistered black people.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'll say.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Million eligible unregistered black people.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And so we're going into those swing states and really
we're go want to go tell it on the mountain.
Get everybody mobilized, get the students mobilized. In some states,
returning citizens mobilized, the disenfranchised. And the number one group
that is not looked at for elections, they're the least polled,
(25:17):
is black men.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I am a citizen of Georgia. If black men had.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Gone to the polls, Stacey Abrams would have been the
governor there. You can get black men to participate in
this process.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I think that we can change the game.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, before we go on onto other topics, could you
please share with our listeners how they can get more
information about you know, and to support as well.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, thank you, Thank you. Ask that every person go
to Jamal Bryant dot org.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
J A M A L B R y A N
T dot org, drop either your email or your phone
number and I'll send out to you within forty eight
hours everything about project five five five as well as
the Jam for Justice tour, so you'll know what cities
were coming to and how you can participate. If you
also go to that site, I got a link where
(26:11):
you'll be able to go and register about it no
matter what state you live in.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Can pretty much Yeah, what what's what's it like working
with g Z on a project like this? And I
know he's a Georgia native as well, but you know,
you know what I'm saying. I mean, I don't I
don't know the man. I know his music, I enjoy
his music, and he has his his vibe is you know,
(26:39):
it's kind of it's kind of hardcore. Some may call it.
You know, he might be categorized as as gangster rap,
but obviously he cares and if you've aligned yourself with him,
they must they must be something to that.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yes, and people are I mean listen, yes, people are
saying that Atlanta is the new Hollywood. I think Atlanta
is the new Harlem Renaissance where artists are really.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Leading the forefront.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So if you look at again Ti Killer, Mike Yeezy
coming through, they are really walking through the red sea
with people in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Gives mad love.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And I want to be aligned with black men who
were doing some amazing things. So I see them really
as a grassroots activist. I don't see him as the
snowman because I want to keep my church, so I
don't see him as the snow has melted.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
He's a new man in Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, every center has a pass and every saint has
a future, so you know the other way around. Forgive me,
I butchered that up a little bit. Well how about
do it go ahead, kid?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, I got I got one last question, and I
would say this, we were told and we want to
congratulate you on your engagement.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I'm speaking for myself and I think for play
that may not have been as successful in relationships like
you know, I got a friend of mine, but I'm
getting ready to go to a wedding. He's getting married
for the third time. Like, is there can you? Can
(28:25):
you inspire Yes, people that may not have been successful
previously that this is my there may be Are they
that there may be success in the future.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
No, Love is not like milk. It doesn't have an
expiration to day.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And the good thing is one of my favorite quotes
kid is love is the only thing everybody has been
hurt by, but everybody still uh. And so I think
that you got to get to a place where you
don't sack rice love for company, that you don't sacrifice
(29:06):
or exchange love for masseuse, but that you find out
really what's gonna make you better, what's gonna push you behind.
Every successful man is a tired woman who pushed you there.
So I'm glad that I found the right person to
helped get me there. I'm sending y'all invitations if you
don't just feel like coming to answer me.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
At the respect, just coming, Like I got suits. I
got suits for the dying to be worn. So please
give me a reason to try and try and hang
out with you. But you know, this show is everything
hip hop in regards to where new school meets the
classic school. And you know, we know, I believe by
your swag and we've met. We seem to run each
(29:46):
other in airports every once in a while in the airport. Yes,
let me ask you a question. What's the first hip
hop record you ever heard? If you don't remember, what's
one that comes to mind? That Nurse one? I remember, Hey,
that made you feel a certain type of way that
you'll never forget. What record would that be?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
An artists, This is my answer is gonna be probably
different than anybody you all ever ever asked. But the
first one I remember was Angie Juice Jones. I saw
you Walking in the rain.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What yo?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
That is the very first.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Song that you mean?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The part where he walks up on it want was
the flat Glaster and the whole du.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yes, that's the first song that I remember.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yo, this dude, Yo. First of all, that song is
so classic the video if you remember, Hey, Hey, come
on in, I got take that coat off, I got
some hot Oh yeah, that's is the first one closed
(30:54):
your mouth because you cold busted.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
So I mean, does having a relationship with God and
through our Lord to save in Jesus Christ, can there
be Like one of the things that I get confronted
with is people will put be quick to put me
in a box, which I won't allow them to in
regards to the fact that you cannot have a life,
you cannot put things in their proper perspectives. In regards
(31:20):
to a culture that I cannot deny because God literally
used hip hop to save my life, and what won't
And when I say, when I do my speaking engagements
and stuff, I'll act a sobering question. What won't God
use to save somebody? And what would you say to that?
What is your thoughts in regards to those who may
be critical or judgmental in regards to them growing up
(31:43):
in religion instead of an intimate relationship with Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah, yeah, that love has no perfection.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
When you talk about the crucifixion of Christ, it is
called the passion of Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
The passion of Christ is the cross.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
And then it amazing, kid that when we think of
passion we think of the satin sheets and scented candles
and very white music.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
But the picture of love that Christ.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Models is nails and whips and a crown of thorns.
Love is never perfection. So we love our kids when
they mess up. We love our kids when they're disrespectful.
We love our kids when they break the rules that
we upset, but we still love them. People project perfection.
(32:30):
That is law, but it is not love. Somebody who
loves you doesn't need rules. And so when I really
love you, I don't have to tell you come home tonight.
Your love for me is gonna make you come home
at a reasonable time to choose in Tony Braxton. But
I think that you got to understand. Yeah, you got
to understand that love is always ever expanded, as ever evolving.
(32:53):
And what we saw as love when you were twenty
five is not what you saw it as forty five.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Because your need for love is now different.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
And so at twenty five you're looking at who look
good with you.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
After fifty five, kid, we got to figure out who
can I trust to take me to the doctors.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
What to get this hippy place?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Who's gonna take me to get this hippy place.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You start looking at stuff differently on what love looks
like when you begin seeing a caregiver.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
My mother said to my sister years ago, be careful.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
That you don't fall in love with a taker because
you are a giver, and because if you fall in
love with a taker, a taker will have no limits,
and a giver don't even realize that they're being used.
And so when you look at love through that prism
that I'm giving myself to somebody who is not trying
to take from me but appreciates what it is that
(33:52):
I'm yielding, it's a completely dizzying experience.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
That's why the two of.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Y'all need to be in my wedding and give a
toast for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You don't want you don't want play to get the
toes be up there for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Oh man, listen, I know how to put the court
out of that, Mike. I'm gonna port the court out
of it.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Mi. Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Wow that was that was deep. But anyway, okay, y'all,
thank y'all. All right, man, thank you so very much, pastor,
And again, can you just for the last time tell
them the information to reach you in regards to what
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Go to jamal Brod dot org so you can in
fact get all of the information about Project twenty twenty five,
as well as you can register the boat and figure
out what is our strategy to counter it and get
the dates for jams for justice.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Five five five peace Peace. That was pretty cool, k
I D yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Man. We actually had a guest that was like, awesome.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We've had guests before. My goodness.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You know we need we need more.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Anyway, I guess it's about that time. Man, It's time
for a very special part of the show that I
like to share being an aspiring filmmaker and documentarian in
regards to what films over the years and will continue
to inspire me, give me inspiration, encouragement, give me ideas
(35:24):
without stealing any ideas. But it's called the playlists and
what I want, yes, what I want to share. And
this one is really out of I know, stereotypically I
would people would think I'm going to it and what
I've shared in the past usually black films, black filmmakers.
But if anyone was to ever ask me what is
my favorite film of all time? My favorite film of
(35:48):
all time was done by At the time when this
film was made, he was just coming out of receiving
all kinds of awards coming out of students.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Of your favorite film of all time, all time, all time?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We get this film. It's called Citizen Kane. It was
done in nineteen forty one, written by Herman J. Mackawitz
and Austin Wells and John Houseman, directed by Austin Wells,
and this was the film that everybody was anticipating, like, Okay,
what is this kid got?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Is you the real deal?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
And this film, the story alone is incredible. Some people
feel it was based or inspired in part by William
Randolph Hearst, who was the publishing person. I mean, this guy,
the money in the wealth, the money and the wealth
that this man had was bananas, but off of a
(36:43):
publishing empire. But that's the rumor. But basically, one of
the other reasons why I love this film so much
was that Austin Wells created things to do this film
that wasn't existing in filmmaking, Like for existence. He created
a lens where normally you would only be able to
(37:04):
keep one person in focus. What he had an engineer
do or glassmaker do was put two different separating two
different lenses, cutting them in half, taking those two halves together,
creating one lens so that one person in the back
ground would stay and focus and the person in front
(37:27):
and the foreground would be and focus both of them
as well. If you ever watched this movie and you
see two people in this shot where they're both in focus,
person in the background and the person in the foreground,
look between them. You'll see a slight blur and that's
where the cut took place. He also wanted a certain
(37:47):
angle from the floor up to catch certain angles. Impossible
to do because there was a floor. He had his
set people dig a hole in the floor so that
the camera person could take their big, old camera, but
it wasn't small at that time. Be in the floor
in a ditch in the floor to get this angle
that was unheard of at that time. So just from
(38:09):
what he invented, the storyline, everything.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
You have to research. You have done quite a bit
of research.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Oh I'm not new to this, I'm true to this.
But yes, that is my list on today's on the
list of my playlist on today's episode. The Citizen Kane
nineteen forty one, directed by Orson Wells.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, all right, that's heavy, I get it. I could tell.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I could tell.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
No, I've actually seen that movie. It's a great it's
a great movie. It's a great movie. It's kind of like,
you know, it's like orson Wells, It's like when your
best work was your first work. Yeah, yeah, he never
he never, he never reached that. You know what I mean, Well,
(38:58):
you know what forgives you shot was a three pointer.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Forgive me His student film that got him so much
accolades to pay attention to this film was War the Worlds.
It was something he did that that was a radio
in radio, That's what I'm saying. The radio where he
actually people really thought Aliens was invading New Jersey and
(39:22):
his and the fact of his imagination warned him that
this this prestige or this all this attention that he
got in Hollywood and stuff. But yeah, I actually have
a collector's item of the actual VHS, the script with
all the notes to it, all of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
But yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Stalking, all right, stop kidding, stop all right? So yeah,
so let's let's let's move on to just kidding and
on just kidding today. You know, we'd like to take
the temperature of the public and hear what they're kind
of saying and doing. Are are an old friend and
(40:02):
uh and a guy that we're big fans of, bun
b Bun Bee. Yes, sir from Texas, from Point Arthur, Texas.
He has come out on a limb and said that
Houston has better food than Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't know the
difference between a club and a restaurant. Uh oh, now
(40:27):
you know. Now we know that that bunbe he's he
he has Trillburgers.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yes he does.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I haven't gotten there yet, matter.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Me neither.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yeah, but we we we certainly look forward to that.
And we've also been We've been to Houston many, many,
many times, and we've been to Atlanta many, many, many,
many many times. Is there anything to what he's saying?
I mean, they're both great Southern cities. They both have
great food. I don't know what makes one better than
the than the other. And they're both cities that have
(41:01):
a lot of black owned businesses, black owned, you know,
culinary businesses. So I don't know, I don't know how you.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I think this is the perfect time to ask the listeners, Hey,
send us let us know this can be something, because
Lord knows, we do hit Atlanta and Houston. They show
us love our shows and stuff. But we will make
it our business to visit whoever they recommend, and let's
(41:31):
see what we come up with.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, you know one place that that I used
to go to in Houston, and our friend, you know,
our friend Leslie Leslie Wyatt shot out, he would take
me to the turkey leg hut. You ever been to
the leg hut?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
No, I have not. I don't eat meat anymore, just fish.
So that's what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Very very popular turkey legs, like them big ones look
like the Flintstones, I.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Mean, Brontosaurus burgers and.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
All right. But another point is this, and this is
something I remember from back in the days, back when
I used to go to strip clubs. I don't go
to strip clubs anymore that much, but it was.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
The time you've been banded. I don't go there anymore
that much.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Post But back in the days when we used to go,
one of the things that really uh stuck out to me,
particularly the atl strip clubs, was the food was like
really good, like really like you could get like shrimping grits,
and there's a and there's a butt right here.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Well, maybe that's what he's talking about when he's asking
the difference between a club and a restaurant, because maybe
what takes place in their club was restaurant level type
food in the club, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
And I'm telling you there were places like that or
you know you could get you could get some good food.
At Magic City, you could get some good food. You know,
at the Playboy Palace you could get some good you
know what I mean. I mean, I know it sounds
kind of weird, but that's that's that's how it was.
So you know, I'm not sure, but you know, listeners,
(43:22):
viewers tap in. You know what, who's got better food? Houston,
Agetown or Piece up Atown down?
Speaker 1 (43:31):

(01:58):
try to uplift it, and we have a little couple
of different uh views on it. You know, Play links
to veer toward the classic side of hip hop, which
is a great which is a great, a great way
to look at things.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Basically, I just speak on basically, I just speak on
what I know, what.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, I'm curious. I'm curious, so I lean toward
some of the newer artists and you know, just what
they're saying because we're all in this thing together, and
I think that, you know, we think that's important that
that the old school or the classic school recognize and celebrates.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And it's where the two meet each other. There's no
verses here. It's where the two meet each Other's where
the new school meets Hey, new school, would you like
to meet classics? Classics? Let me introduce you to some
possible future classics, and we find out that we have
more in common than we thought we knew. And all
it takes is a conversation. So Kid and I are
(03:03):
your glorified mediators so to speak, moderators, so to speak,
not media moderators, all.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Right, and on that note, excuse me. On that note,
we always like to start with a song of the day.
Each one of us likes to put forth a song
of the day that it inspires us that maybe you'd
like to listen to and check out. Mine is on
the New School tip. I just saw this video the
(03:31):
other day, heard the song, caught the video. It's Megan
the Stallion, who's very hot right now, very very popular,
one of one of the most popular female rappers out
and there's a lot of them. You know, you've got
You've got Megan, You've got Cardie, you've got a Lotto,
(03:51):
You've got Gloilla, you've got City girls. There's never been
more really great or or you know female rappers that
are really doing well for themselves. So this is a
joint she got. It's called Boa. And the reason why
it really caught my eye was I could imagine, I
(04:14):
could imagine listen listen Brouh and Paul video man pause
total total pause. Like most of the video is is
she's blurried. She's blurred because she she ain't got nothing on.
She's you know what I'm saying. So so I'm like,
(04:34):
I'm listening, but I'm watching.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So maybe it was half the video and half the thing.
But this is the thing. And I will say this
on a serious note, these ladies can rap there. There's
never been. Look, we came up in a in an
era where there weren't allowed of female rapp so we
(05:00):
had to revere the ones we had. So we love
Salt and Pepper and we love Queen Latifah, and we
love MC light and we love money Love. But you know,
I think the playing field has expanded. So that's my joint.
Schied Megan Stallion. She's everywhere. You never there. Watch the video.
(05:20):
She's mad blurry and that's what that's.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I've never heard that before. Anybody tells you to watch
something because it's mad blurry. You know what I'm saying
that that's that's the first. But anyway, it's funny. You
should mention this topic, which yours would include a female artist.
I could go back further than the ones you've mentioned,
and one of those you mentioned is my pick for
(05:45):
the day. But we go back as far as Shah Rock,
we go back as far as Sparky d go back
as far as the US Girls, and and and and
so many more. There wasn't a lot, like you said, uh,
the playing field or the attendances a lot you know
today and they're doing it thing. But my who I
have on my list today the place classics is our
(06:09):
sisters Salt and Pepper, and shout out to Spinderella as well.
But it's my mic. Sounds nice by Salt and Pepper,
produced by our dude, Herbie the love Bug, and it
was done in nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Look at that picture, man, that's crazy, man. Now the
reason that's the original, Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's what the first Spinderella that's not with the Spindy
we know d d Roper to be e Zach Big
shout out to our husband Q. But the reason why
I picked this one was everyone knows, or maybe motion
know if you know your history. The first record that
Salton Pepper came out with they were called SuperNature, and
the record they came out was show Stopper, which was
(06:54):
an answer to Dougie Fresh and Slick Ricks The show
Now some people as a big record is that was
in New York, Philly, Jersey tri state area. Most naysayers
would have considered that a fluke, like yeah, you know,
they did a record off of it, already established beat
(07:14):
and a hit record, what else could it be? But
when they came out with this joint my Mic Sounds Nice,
this was exceptional for a couple of reasons. Number one
had showed that they could wrap number two. It used
Grover Washington Junior's Mister Magic joint, which was a favorite
in the clubs, you know, or rather as far as
(07:37):
hip hop goes over them taking a phrase my mic
sounds nice, check one, my mic sounds nice? Check two?
Are you ready? It demanded attention because the phrase alone,
the track alone was something that was definitely brought attention
to hip hoppers that, like, you know what, maybe there's
(07:58):
more to these sisters than them just being on the
bandwagon of an already established hit record. So my joint
is my Mic Sounds Nice by Salt and Pepper, produced
by our friend and producer as well, Herbie Lovebuggain was
done in nineteen eighty six and this was on Next
Plateau Records. That's when this came out. So that's my
(08:20):
classic joint for this episode today.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I got you. I got you very well said, well said.
So we're gonna keep it moving because we got a
really big show for you today.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So we're gonna move it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We we're gonna move it up to you know this,
it's all the people are talking, all the streets, so whispering.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And the mail and the mail is always all the
mail is snailing, snail mail.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It was always either right, this is say less or
doing the most say less what we got on this one. Okay,
so let me let me break this down real quick.
Now we all knowing love Lil Wayne. He's one of
the great rappers weaze of his generation. And apparently Little
(09:06):
Wayne's old rhyme book like rhymes that he wrote like
we used to do. You know, I got rhyme books
you had, We had rhyme books. That's what we did.
We didn't read it off the phone. I couldn't come
off the dome like jay Z.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, it's not the reason not to mention when we
did it, there was no cell phones, not like not
like the ones we dot today that fai it was
the brick bl and you could not read anything on
those phones.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, not on the brick. But all right, so this
is the thing. Lil Wayne's old rhyme book came up.
Came up in found in a car, some car he
left it in that used to belong to somebody from
Cash Money Records. Okay, look looking right at it. Apparently
(09:54):
this rhyme book is up for sale for five million dollars.
What right now the key is this or one of
the keys is Okay, rhyme book. That's very important. I mean,
like I said, it's it's something that we all did.
But I think at some point Wayne had a reputation
(10:16):
like he doesn't write his rhymes, like like he just
you know, like kind of like what jay Z does
or or I think I think even Biggie did it too,
you know, like they could just could just formulate it
in their head and then uh you know and then
recite it. So there's a little disconnect. Or maybe that's
how he used to uh create, you know, write it down,
(10:40):
and now he doesn't do that anymore, and also does
is he entitled to the rhyme book? Can he get
it back. Does he have to buy it back? Should
should somebody who owns it give it back? You know,
is it a value? Do you care? Well?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think it could be. It's not like he can't
afford it. I don't know if he should be spending
that much money on his own piece. But being the
type of I've never met him before, but from what
I've gathered and the way he has evolved, I can
see him maybe getting it at a reasonable price in
(11:22):
order for it to be maybe donated to a museum
or where it can benefit someone in some kind of
way that I can see it. But it wouldn't still
be considered his property.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know that that's a that's a great question
we needed, we need we might need a lawyer for that, Like.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well, maybe our next guests can be able to help
us with that, now that I think about it, you
know what I'm saying. I mean, I believe he do
more school or something like. But yeah, I think that's
an interesting question. And it's what a series of events
that took place for it to end up in this
kind of city situation, which is amazing because I know,
(12:02):
and we discussed it on another show that either has
aired already or will air. In regards to the fact
of him, Jay Z and a couple of others, there
was this time where it was quite something for rappers
of his stature and skills that they didn't write anything down.
(12:23):
It was all off the dome, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, I mean that's that's yeah to me. That that
part was always kind of amazing to me, you know
what I mean. And maybe that's just how hip hop
or rappers have evolved, you know what I mean. It's
almost like how athletes have evolved, Like, you know, yeah,
you get you get better and better. But yeah, I
(12:45):
always felt like I always felt like I had to
write it down and then memorize it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
But you can't beat up on yourself too bad because
it's not like those type of rap skills existed prior
to or you. And then now that puts you in
a position to feel a certain type of way about
how you go about doing what you do, how you
do it. It was always like that because we all went
to school. Anything you were going to recite, remember to
(13:14):
beget it with create it was gonna involve a notebook,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Process, it's a process and everybody has, and everybody has
their own process, speak in a process. I think it's
time for us to reveal somebody special that we have
that we have on the show.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I agree, and I don't mind asking him this question
before we let him go. So, you know, ladies and gentlemen,
our next segment, which is called next on the mic,
which is really literal, we have a very special guest,
and that special guest is a friend to many. He's
a blessing to many. Let's just call it for what
(13:55):
it is. And ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our guest
and friend, Pastor Jamal Bryant.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Hey, family, how's everybody? Let me say this to y'all
before we go into anything. I am so angry.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
This is not an in person podcast.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I feel cheated. Death to Zoom, Death to Zoom, death
extream yard. I wanted everybody to build.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't. I can't even take a picture. People gonna
think it's AI. That is photo shot.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Hey man, don't don't blame it on our hearts, you know,
blame it on the budget.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But anyway, thank you all for having me.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Honest, we will definitely, we will definitely have you back.
No offans a bunch about it, because you know, one
of the things you're known for, pastor is your attire.
So come on, man, we can't just show them a
f you know.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Listen, I put on my Easter outfit because I thought
I was in House party four.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was getting heavy after house Monday fifteen. Right now,
But anyway, how were you doing? And how is everything?
How is the family? How is everything?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Everything is moving along.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I'm coming to you all alive outside of the DNC
where people are getting synergized and mobilized for November.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
So it's a great time to be alive.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Isn't it an exciting time of what? I had a
chance to watch some things last night on TV that
I know we all know what I'm talking about. I
don't know when this is going to air, so I
won't you know, date it, But it's just amazing to
see that it isn't so bad or so how would
you how would you describe it? Prior to two weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You know, not a.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lotbody was excited. We were just going on, We were
going on with the flow. It was it was loyalty.
It was death by loyal.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Which is important, which is important, But to your point,
if the if the goal is not going to be
met and there's another option, then we have to make.
These are hard decisions and sometimes people feelings are gonna
get hurt. Yes, and certain people have to be uplifted
(16:16):
and rise to the occasion. Right, So yeah, we you know,
if you if you're on the left, we're sure better
than we were a month ago.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well like what someone say one time, they said we
were going to vote that way because we had to.
Now we're glad we're voting that way because we want to.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, it's a grown up moment that is countercultural
to hip hop because we were having people to vote
on policy and not personality.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, so we said, forget.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
How we talks, forget that he's stumbling going into the planet.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Vote for your future.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now we got somebody who dropping bobs, somebody who's articulating,
somebody who's casting vision, somebody who is showing us a
brighter way, and somebody that we can actually point to
our daughters and say that this is achievable.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
There is an elegance in class in that a whole
lot of women is not a whole lot of ladies.
And so if the only thing they can find wrong
with is how she laughs.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well, you know it's great because you're not. Your relationship
to this whole thing we're talking about is not just
you going up to the voting booth and voting. Your participation,
your contribution, your ministry in it is a lot deeper
than that. So would you please be so kind to
share with us your project five five five? Please?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yes, But you are the professor, So I want to
give contexts to five five five on why it is
that I am here. When doctor King was leading the
civil rights movement, nobody asked Chris what did the Dell
Findex think about Vietnam? Nobody was asking Temptations what they
thought about Edmund Pettis Bridge. I am living in a
(18:08):
place I say it with shame that this is the
very first time entertainers are more influential than preachers.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So you mean we could come to a new audition.
Now we can walk up to the new edition and
act new addition.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yes, yes, So I am on this podcast as a preacher.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Can you imagine that I'm on the podcast as a
preacher to get.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
The word out to a demographic drum roll that don't
go to church, that has righteous convictions, but don't believe
in organized religion. And so five y five is our
real grassroots effort that every person would register five people
(18:50):
to vote, that we would get five people within our
orbit to register.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Here it is to be pole watchers that we are are.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Asking every person to get five churches in your community
to make sure that you give us.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Your busses and your bans.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
On election day, Desmond two two said something Chris that
messed me up. He said, how many black churches would
be alive if poor people had to vote every year
whether they get to stay open?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And so I think when we get to this election,
I think that the church has really got to step up.
But it is not again on personality, it's on policy.
How many of our churches are talking about Project twenty
twenty five, how many understand what DEI means? How many
we doing the electric slide backwards, that they banning books,
(19:44):
that they are defunding HBCUs. And so I know we
hear all the time just the most important election of
our lifetime, but this time it really is and we've
really got to go through it. When you go through
Project twenty twenty five, I know it has become viral
in social media. But I'm going to just throw out
to the listeners just five points that are so critical.
(20:07):
Number one, if you go to public school, when you
turn eighteen, you are automatically enlisted in the military. But
if you in private Christian school, you get to opt out.
The majority of our people are in public school. Number two,
they want to enlarge the death penalty. Now, these are
(20:29):
the same people at the Heritage Foundation that says they
pro life, But who does the death penalty impact black
and brown people? Number three, because I'm on here with
three black men, they want to raise the age of retirement.
Black men die earlier than any other demographic in the nation.
(20:51):
So if they raise that retirement age, brothers is going
to croak out before they can cash out. Number four,
they want to dismantle Medicaid, Medicare, social Security. The average
black man, who is seven years older than everybody in
this podcast. The average black man seven years older than
Inybouyd in this podcast, only goes to the doctor when
(21:13):
they go to the emergency room. Number five very critical,
very critical, is that they want to defund every every
college that teaches black history.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
If you teach.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Black history, then you are no longer eligible to receive
federal funds. I got to give you all the hood translation,
I got five on it. So these are the five
reasons why it is that you got to vote, and
I got to add to it. Don't just vote at
the top of the ticket. You got to vote all
the way down. Some of the stuff the black community
(21:49):
has never focused on. Who's going on the school board,
who's the counter commissioner, who lives? Often says something that
mess me up a act of revolutionary service, y'all ain't
gonna be ready for it.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Getting Nick Ross to show up for jewelry duty. I'm guilty.
Soon as I get that notice, I'm trying to get out.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
We don't even realize how it is impacting our community
and how it's impacting the fate of those who are
coming behind us.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Wow, wow ya, you dropped like mad bombs.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We gotta at least start getting in our budget sound effects.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Who but this and every pastor everything you said was
so so on point and so crucial. And you know
you're you're in that environment right now. The energy in
Chicago must be must be pretty amazing.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
It's I'm believable, It's energetic, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Watching it at home and and I feel so feel
bad that I'm not there because you know what I mean,
But I I feel it coming through the television, every speaker,
every you know what I mean. You know what I mean?
It was? Is it? Is it? Are you feeling it
that way?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Listen? It's Essence Festival me towed with Homecoming. It's uh majority.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can't even get in and okay, and all of
that's still on steroids and stuff. Yeah, so, you know,
speak about a small world. As I was watching it
aggressively last night, talk about a small world and talk
about a house party. I saw our friend and director
of House Party on stage, Reggie Hudland, you know, and
(23:38):
I looked up on Yeah, I looked up on Google
that he produced the film that's going to play before
Vice President Harris speaks on Thursday. Because I'm wondering knowing Reggie,
he's been known to produce these type of events, but
long and behol I caught him and I was like, Wow,
(23:59):
that's really really special. But can you tell us about
the Jam for Justice tour as well?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, the Jam for Justice We're going to here it
is again five Cities. Eric Ababdua is rolling with us.
Uh be rolling with us. Uh is gonna be heartfelt.
We're going to into five major cities. If you want information, listeners,
as you go to Jamal Bryant dot org, Jamal bryan
dot org, drop your email and I'm gonna eat blass
(24:27):
to you your beats. But Charlotte is the next city
coming up. Detroit is coming up. But we're going to
the five major swing states to galvanize the vote. I
got to tell you all this why so important in
the ten swing states.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Y'all ain't gonna believe.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
It's ten million eligible unregistered black people.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'll say.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Million eligible unregistered black people.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And so we're going into those swing states and really
we're go want to go tell it on the mountain.
Get everybody mobilized, get the students mobilized. In some states,
returning citizens mobilized, the disenfranchised. And the number one group
that is not looked at for elections, they're the least polled,
(25:17):
is black men.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I am a citizen of Georgia. If black men had.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Gone to the polls, Stacey Abrams would have been the
governor there. You can get black men to participate in
this process.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I think that we can change the game.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, before we go on onto other topics, could you
please share with our listeners how they can get more
information about you know, and to support as well.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, thank you, Thank you. Ask that every person go
to Jamal Bryant dot org.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
J A M A L B R y A N
T dot org, drop either your email or your phone
number and I'll send out to you within forty eight
hours everything about project five five five as well as
the Jam for Justice tour, so you'll know what cities
were coming to and how you can participate. If you
also go to that site, I got a link where
(26:11):
you'll be able to go and register about it no
matter what state you live in.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Can pretty much Yeah, what what's what's it like working
with g Z on a project like this? And I
know he's a Georgia native as well, but you know,
you know what I'm saying. I mean, I don't I
don't know the man. I know his music, I enjoy
his music, and he has his his vibe is you know,
(26:39):
it's kind of it's kind of hardcore. Some may call it.
You know, he might be categorized as as gangster rap,
but obviously he cares and if you've aligned yourself with him,
they must they must be something to that.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yes, and people are I mean listen, yes, people are
saying that Atlanta is the new Hollywood. I think Atlanta
is the new Harlem Renaissance where artists are really.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Leading the forefront.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So if you look at again Ti Killer, Mike Yeezy
coming through, they are really walking through the red sea
with people in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Gives mad love.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And I want to be aligned with black men who
were doing some amazing things. So I see them really
as a grassroots activist. I don't see him as the
snowman because I want to keep my church, so I
don't see him as the snow has melted.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
He's a new man in Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, every center has a pass and every saint has
a future, so you know the other way around. Forgive me,
I butchered that up a little bit. Well how about
do it go ahead, kid?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, I got I got one last question, and I
would say this, we were told and we want to
congratulate you on your engagement.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I'm speaking for myself and I think for play
that may not have been as successful in relationships like
you know, I got a friend of mine, but I'm
getting ready to go to a wedding. He's getting married
for the third time. Like, is there can you? Can
(28:25):
you inspire Yes, people that may not have been successful
previously that this is my there may be Are they
that there may be success in the future.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
No, Love is not like milk. It doesn't have an
expiration to day.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
And the good thing is one of my favorite quotes
kid is love is the only thing everybody has been
hurt by, but everybody still uh. And so I think
that you got to get to a place where you
don't sack rice love for company, that you don't sacrifice
(29:06):
or exchange love for masseuse, but that you find out
really what's gonna make you better, what's gonna push you behind.
Every successful man is a tired woman who pushed you there.
So I'm glad that I found the right person to
helped get me there. I'm sending y'all invitations if you
don't just feel like coming to answer me.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
At the respect, just coming, Like I got suits. I
got suits for the dying to be worn. So please
give me a reason to try and try and hang
out with you. But you know, this show is everything
hip hop in regards to where new school meets the
classic school. And you know, we know, I believe by
your swag and we've met. We seem to run each
(29:46):
other in airports every once in a while in the airport. Yes,
let me ask you a question. What's the first hip
hop record you ever heard? If you don't remember, what's
one that comes to mind? That Nurse one? I remember, Hey,
that made you feel a certain type of way that
you'll never forget. What record would that be?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
An artists, This is my answer is gonna be probably
different than anybody you all ever ever asked. But the
first one I remember was Angie Juice Jones. I saw
you Walking in the rain.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What yo?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
That is the very first.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Song that you mean?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The part where he walks up on it want was
the flat Glaster and the whole du.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yes, that's the first song that I remember.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yo, this dude, Yo. First of all, that song is
so classic the video if you remember, Hey, Hey, come
on in, I got take that coat off, I got
some hot Oh yeah, that's is the first one closed
(30:54):
your mouth because you cold busted.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
So I mean, does having a relationship with God and
through our Lord to save in Jesus Christ, can there
be Like one of the things that I get confronted
with is people will put be quick to put me
in a box, which I won't allow them to in
regards to the fact that you cannot have a life,
you cannot put things in their proper perspectives. In regards
(31:20):
to a culture that I cannot deny because God literally
used hip hop to save my life, and what won't
And when I say, when I do my speaking engagements
and stuff, I'll act a sobering question. What won't God
use to save somebody? And what would you say to that?
What is your thoughts in regards to those who may
be critical or judgmental in regards to them growing up
(31:43):
in religion instead of an intimate relationship with Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah, yeah, that love has no perfection.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
When you talk about the crucifixion of Christ, it is
called the passion of Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
The passion of Christ is the cross.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
And then it amazing, kid that when we think of
passion we think of the satin sheets and scented candles
and very white music.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
But the picture of love that Christ.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Models is nails and whips and a crown of thorns.
Love is never perfection. So we love our kids when
they mess up. We love our kids when they're disrespectful.
We love our kids when they break the rules that
we upset, but we still love them. People project perfection.
(32:30):
That is law, but it is not love. Somebody who
loves you doesn't need rules. And so when I really
love you, I don't have to tell you come home tonight.
Your love for me is gonna make you come home
at a reasonable time to choose in Tony Braxton. But
I think that you got to understand. Yeah, you got
to understand that love is always ever expanded, as ever evolving.
(32:53):
And what we saw as love when you were twenty
five is not what you saw it as forty five.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Because your need for love is now different.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
And so at twenty five you're looking at who look
good with you.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
After fifty five, kid, we got to figure out who
can I trust to take me to the doctors.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
What to get this hippy place?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Who's gonna take me to get this hippy place.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You start looking at stuff differently on what love looks
like when you begin seeing a caregiver.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
My mother said to my sister years ago, be careful.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
That you don't fall in love with a taker because
you are a giver, and because if you fall in
love with a taker, a taker will have no limits,
and a giver don't even realize that they're being used.
And so when you look at love through that prism
that I'm giving myself to somebody who is not trying
to take from me but appreciates what it is that
(33:52):
I'm yielding, it's a completely dizzying experience.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
That's why the two of.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Y'all need to be in my wedding and give a
toast for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You don't want you don't want play to get the
toes be up there for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Oh man, listen, I know how to put the court
out of that, Mike. I'm gonna port the court out
of it.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Mi. Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Wow that was that was deep. But anyway, okay, y'all,
thank y'all. All right, man, thank you so very much, pastor,
And again, can you just for the last time tell
them the information to reach you in regards to what
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Go to jamal Brod dot org so you can in
fact get all of the information about Project twenty twenty five,
as well as you can register the boat and figure
out what is our strategy to counter it and get
the dates for jams for justice.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Five five five peace Peace. That was pretty cool, k
I D yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Man. We actually had a guest that was like, awesome.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We've had guests before. My goodness.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You know we need we need more.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Anyway, I guess it's about that time. Man, It's time
for a very special part of the show that I
like to share being an aspiring filmmaker and documentarian in
regards to what films over the years and will continue
to inspire me, give me inspiration, encouragement, give me ideas
(35:24):
without stealing any ideas. But it's called the playlists and
what I want, yes, what I want to share. And
this one is really out of I know, stereotypically I
would people would think I'm going to it and what
I've shared in the past usually black films, black filmmakers.
But if anyone was to ever ask me what is
my favorite film of all time? My favorite film of
(35:48):
all time was done by At the time when this
film was made, he was just coming out of receiving
all kinds of awards coming out of students.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Of your favorite film of all time, all time, all time?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We get this film. It's called Citizen Kane. It was
done in nineteen forty one, written by Herman J. Mackawitz
and Austin Wells and John Houseman, directed by Austin Wells,
and this was the film that everybody was anticipating, like, Okay,
what is this kid got?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Is you the real deal?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
And this film, the story alone is incredible. Some people
feel it was based or inspired in part by William
Randolph Hearst, who was the publishing person. I mean, this guy,
the money in the wealth, the money and the wealth
that this man had was bananas, but off of a
(36:43):
publishing empire. But that's the rumor. But basically, one of
the other reasons why I love this film so much
was that Austin Wells created things to do this film
that wasn't existing in filmmaking, Like for existence. He created
a lens where normally you would only be able to
(37:04):
keep one person in focus. What he had an engineer
do or glassmaker do was put two different separating two
different lenses, cutting them in half, taking those two halves together,
creating one lens so that one person in the back
ground would stay and focus and the person in front
(37:27):
and the foreground would be and focus both of them
as well. If you ever watched this movie and you
see two people in this shot where they're both in focus,
person in the background and the person in the foreground,
look between them. You'll see a slight blur and that's
where the cut took place. He also wanted a certain
(37:47):
angle from the floor up to catch certain angles. Impossible
to do because there was a floor. He had his
set people dig a hole in the floor so that
the camera person could take their big, old camera, but
it wasn't small at that time. Be in the floor
in a ditch in the floor to get this angle
that was unheard of at that time. So just from
(38:09):
what he invented, the storyline, everything.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
You have to research. You have done quite a bit
of research.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Oh I'm not new to this, I'm true to this.
But yes, that is my list on today's on the
list of my playlist on today's episode. The Citizen Kane
nineteen forty one, directed by Orson Wells.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, all right, that's heavy, I get it. I could tell.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I could tell.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
No, I've actually seen that movie. It's a great it's
a great movie. It's a great movie. It's kind of like,
you know, it's like orson Wells, It's like when your
best work was your first work. Yeah, yeah, he never
he never, he never reached that. You know what I mean, Well,
(38:58):
you know what forgives you shot was a three pointer.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Forgive me His student film that got him so much
accolades to pay attention to this film was War the Worlds.
It was something he did that that was a radio
in radio, That's what I'm saying. The radio where he
actually people really thought Aliens was invading New Jersey and
(39:22):
his and the fact of his imagination warned him that
this this prestige or this all this attention that he
got in Hollywood and stuff. But yeah, I actually have
a collector's item of the actual VHS, the script with
all the notes to it, all of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
But yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Stalking, all right, stop kidding, stop all right? So yeah,
so let's let's let's move on to just kidding and
on just kidding today. You know, we'd like to take
the temperature of the public and hear what they're kind
of saying and doing. Are are an old friend and
(40:02):
uh and a guy that we're big fans of, bun
b Bun Bee. Yes, sir from Texas, from Point Arthur, Texas.
He has come out on a limb and said that
Houston has better food than Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't know the
difference between a club and a restaurant. Uh oh, now
(40:27):
you know. Now we know that that bunbe he's he
he has Trillburgers.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yes he does.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I haven't gotten there yet, matter.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Me neither.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yeah, but we we we certainly look forward to that.
And we've also been We've been to Houston many, many,
many times, and we've been to Atlanta many, many, many,
many many times. Is there anything to what he's saying?
I mean, they're both great Southern cities. They both have
great food. I don't know what makes one better than
the than the other. And they're both cities that have
(41:01):
a lot of black owned businesses, black owned, you know,
culinary businesses. So I don't know, I don't know how you.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I think this is the perfect time to ask the listeners, Hey,
send us let us know this can be something, because
Lord knows, we do hit Atlanta and Houston. They show
us love our shows and stuff. But we will make
it our business to visit whoever they recommend, and let's
(41:31):
see what we come up with.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, you know one place that that I used
to go to in Houston, and our friend, you know,
our friend Leslie Leslie Wyatt shot out, he would take
me to the turkey leg hut. You ever been to
the leg hut?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
No, I have not. I don't eat meat anymore, just fish.
So that's what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Very very popular turkey legs, like them big ones look
like the Flintstones, I.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Mean, Brontosaurus burgers and.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
All right. But another point is this, and this is
something I remember from back in the days, back when
I used to go to strip clubs. I don't go
to strip clubs anymore that much, but it was.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
The time you've been banded. I don't go there anymore
that much.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Post But back in the days when we used to go,
one of the things that really uh stuck out to me,
particularly the atl strip clubs, was the food was like
really good, like really like you could get like shrimping grits,
and there's a and there's a butt right here.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Well, maybe that's what he's talking about when he's asking
the difference between a club and a restaurant, because maybe
what takes place in their club was restaurant level type
food in the club, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
And I'm telling you there were places like that or
you know you could get you could get some good food.
At Magic City, you could get some good food. You know,
at the Playboy Palace you could get some good you
know what I mean. I mean, I know it sounds
kind of weird, but that's that's that's how it was.
So you know, I'm not sure, but you know, listeners,
(43:22):
viewers tap in. You know what, who's got better food? Houston,
Agetown or Piece up Atown down?
