Episode Transcript

(00:00):
So, uh, baby, wesaw the movie one night in Miami.
Yeah, we had a good movie. Run Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown,
Sam Cook, and who else MalcolmX. Okay, babe, what would
have been added if Martin Luther KingJr. Was there? Go, Yeah,

(00:24):
I think that that would have actuallybeen a really good addition because he's
different. Well, of course hewould have come in. I think the
True Battle, Okay, So ifyou haven't seen it, Malcolm X is
battling with Sam Cook. Sam Cook, who was from the Son of the

(00:44):
South, has this huge following,beautiful voice, He's got this audience.
Malcolm X's seeing him h entrance audienceswith with no microphone and no music to
back him up, just you know, a rhythm in his voice. Right,
So Malcolm X wants him to usehis voice to help further the cause
of the black man and woman.Right. So that's that struggle. So

(01:07):
I think that it would have comein great like if Martin had been there
and Malcolm and he would have pulledMalcolm X up on the fact that you
know, well, I'm living inthe South, I'm in the belly of
the beast, I'm getting arrested.I just read he was arrested like twenty
something times, and this is theonly way because we can't we're out gunned,

(01:27):
and we have to have a sortof, you know, an image
so that people can when the nationalnews media sees this in California, they
can see, oh, they're sittingdown and people are beating the hell out
of them and turning the water hoseson and they feel for them, and
that's when we see change. SoI think they were just added another level

(01:48):
of conflict. And it's weird tothink, but he would have been right
in that group. You know,Malcolm is killed in what sixty four?
I think Martin in sixty eight.This was that time. But the beauty
about that movie was the fact thathistorically it happened like they were all friends.
They were all together at least forone night in Miami. Their pictures

(02:10):
to document this. This is likefour kings in different sectors of life making
these these are game changers, andso that's what made it special. But
outside of that, I feel youthat would have been if you could have
added somebody that would have been thatwould have been cool. And I think
it's amazing their ages. They werein their you know, twenties, and

(02:30):
their thirties and just young and dynamic. And so many times now for some
reason, I hear rappers or actorsor young people say something and they'll be
like, I'm young. It's likewhat, Like what are you talking about?
Like like who says that? ButI've heard it a lot though,
you know when you almost like whenyou when they're kind of someone kind of

(02:51):
points out that they maybe this ormaybe higher standard or something, and they'll
be like, I'm young. Ididn't know about that. And then you
think about the Fred Hampton's and theand the Mark Clarks who were assassinated in
their twenties, and the Malcolm Xesand and the JML Jesus Christ in the
thirties, thirty three years old.I mean, you can do a lot.
You can do a lot, SoI'm not buying it when you I'm

(03:15):
it's like, but great movie.If you haven't seen it, great movie.
Please check it out.
