If somebody wants to get, you know, line up with us and make a new theme song, you know, I think that'd be dope. It's time. It's time. We have some, I was thinking about I forget my man's name. You know what I mean? Riz. Okay, yeah. You know, I was just, that was going through my head yesterday. I like my truth, uncensored. My whole network is viral. Jersey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We we, you know, and that was a good conversation we had, man. Your boy had reposted it. Conor McGregor. Anna McGregor.

SPEAKER_01 1:29

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what's up.

SPEAKER_02 1:30

And now a lot of people look at us like it was a North Jersey, South Jersey, a beef. Not really. Even though I put the caption as that. It's just what we experience from our perspective, what we see from our perspective. There is a divide between North Jersey and South Jersey. But we're gonna do our best. We have been doing our best, bringing on people like Mike Nitty and others, Fad D, Rodney Jerkins. We brought them all on the podcast. And also my man Birch, Coach Birch, that does the other clothing line. Pure Blend. Make sure you check out uh Pure Blend, you know, apparel as well. So it's a lot of people in South Jersey we've been showing love to, man. And salute to them. And maybe we can, I was thinking about even maybe trying to get like Mike back on in person with the new aesthetic at some point. But we'll get there. We'll get there. You know what I mean? Don't tell him that.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

I looked at you and I said, oh shit. You already know. He's gonna be bringing down the door. But uh nah, and it ain't and it's and look, we're trying to bridge the gap. You know what I mean? Yes, we see that there's a divide between North and South Jersey, but that divide ain't gotta be with us. We we here to represent all of Jersey, yes. But we damn sure gonna show love to where we're from in South Jersey because we don't feel like it gets enough. But that being said, hey, North Jersey, we embrace you with open arms. We ain't we hey we turned down nobody from Jersey and we root everybody on from Jersey. And we've root we've interviewed plenty of uh brothers and sisters up north too. So salute to everybody, man. Jersey is what it is, Jersey.

SPEAKER_02 2:50

Definitely for sure. Let's move on, bro. Let me move on to with this one, man. All right, 50 Cent. Let's go to 50 Cent. Because he's now embroiled in a battle. And it's funny because we were talking, we did our little uh segment about 50 Cent, and we said the chickens could come home to roost for 50 Cent one day. Well, according to an exclusive all hip hop report from uh Greg Watkins, right, his ex is pretty much claiming that 50 Cent choked her back in the day, right? Now she said, right, that she claimed that 50 made her sign paperwork in a scuffle at Violator's management New York offices. Violator was working with the rapper at the time. When he looked at me and saw it that I signed Jane Doe, he grabbed me by the hair, dragged me to the other end of the office, pushed me to the floor, and started choking me, telling me that he would hurt me and embarrass me right there at the offices of Violator if I didn't sign. She wrote this in a sworn affidavit before the court. Now, 50 Cents, legal team obviously did deny this. Now they're embroiled in a battle now over a film contract. It's like a $1 million, you know, battle. Shanika Thompson. And you, I'm sure you've seen the her allegations and her videos over the years where she said a lot of things about 50. Even when 50 was going at Diddy, I think she has said something again. Yeah. Like, you know, uh, how could you be talking because of this? And I think this is the first child that looks exactly like 50's mom, right? And he don't really rock with the son, but these are the allegations, again. You know how we stand, no matter who it is, we just say, look, we don't know if it's true. Yeah. But it's just funny that he was coming at Diddy, but you got these type of allegations against you as well from your baby mom. What's your thoughts on this story coming uh exclusive from all hip hop.com?

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Well, again, starting it off by saying we don't know if it's true, we're gonna make sure that we give 50, like anybody else, the proper due diligence to make sure that we give it time for everything right to come out or everything true to come out before we go ahead and put our actual thought on on or opinion on it, right? So, but like you said, man, it's just you know what it tells me? It tells me that when he goes at Diddy and he goes at Jay-Z, and this is what we were just trying to allude to when we had took issue with it, it has actually nothing to do with the crime itself. He doesn't care about domestic violence, he didn't care about the freak-offs, he didn't care about the disgusting things that were getting thrown out. Right. He wanted to bring light on who it was being brought out on because he had a personal issue with X and Y and Z. So he, because he didn't like these people, threw their shit out there and their dirty laundry out there because this is just what 50 is. He's just a vindictive, just hating ass motherfucker when it comes to people he doesn't like, he doesn't care. Gloves off, you know what I mean? But and I know somebody got mad at me because I didn't quote it correctly, but I'm gonna misquote it again. If you live in a glass house, you didn't you shouldn't throw stones. If you got a glass jaw, nigga, watch your mouth. Don't throw stones at something when you know you got skeletons in your closet. Yeah because anything can come out, true or not, and then you sitting there dealing with this situation. So am I am I happy? Am I clapping ha ha 50 now? No, not at all. Not even close, right? I don't want to see him or anybody else go through anything. But it just goes to show you that sometimes that mindset in that ha ha moment can go right back on you, and you can't expect people to sit back, like, okay, we're gonna do it. But I guarantee you, 80% of the people are gonna be ready to fry you just as hot as they were, Diddy, just as hot as they were, Jay-Z. Yep. Just as funny as they were laughing at your jokes, and they were reposting your shit, and women were reposting your shit. Let this stick get some steam, and they'll be putting trying to burn your house down too. And that's all we were trying to say, man.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

That's it. That's it. Yeah, I think you nailed that one, man. That that's all that's always been our message. Even when we did the segment, when we were talking about a scene like him going at black people, everybody started so well, he went at this person, he went at this. That wasn't even a point. It was like he has a preoccupation. Like he might have said a couple things about somebody, white hair, they're okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

Give me my money back my Monday. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

Nutshit.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

Right.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

But like the way you're talking about documentaries, you talk about going all the way with people, that's totally different than a little poking and prying about, you know, saying a little meme or something on Instagram and Facebook. A documentary?

SPEAKER_00 7:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

Like this takes time. This is premeditated. A little, you know what I mean? That's that's the point we're making. You know, of course you're gonna be able to. I always say you, you know, there's always an exception to the rule, but you never throw the rule away for the exception. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 7:29

Talk about it.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

So, so yeah, this is we understand. This is why I can't understand why 50 is going at these guys. Even if you had a past beef, let it be that. Yeah. Because the same sword they knight you with is the same sword they good night you with. You know that, 50. You know that. So don't jump on the hate train when it's time to destroy these people, because you're trying to live by a certain moniker and you crush your enemies totally for their laws of power. I get it. But just know that now when the when the and ain't phone when the rabbit got the gun, this same power structure, because that's what it is, once they're ready to destroy you and get rid of you, and now this comes out, and now it's other people with fabricated stories come out because they looking for a bag, yeah. You're gonna be in the world of shit, and we're gonna be right here defending you.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

Like we always do with everybody. That's all we're saying. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

We ain't for the witch hunts, man. Go on, my bad. No, go ahead, go ahead. No, we ain't for the witch hunts. If you out here doing dirt, like, okay, even Diddy. Like we seen what he did in that hotel room, we never condoned it. That shit was ugly as hell. Yep. But how it was the the way they went about it, and you got feds jumping in and people trying to take away his life and freedom or something completely different than what he was actually being charged with or what he actually did. Nah, we ain't for that. And we'd like to be the same way with 50, but 50, you're gonna have to look yourself in the mirror and go, God damn, when you see the reaction that people are gonna have and they didn't love you like you thought they did, and the documentaries don't mean worth a shittin' anymore. And people are making docs on you because of the things you did to them. Oh, oh yeah. I'm not saying you deserved it, but a real moment in the mirror is gonna have to take place. Because no matter how much we defend you, you kind of brought a lot of this shit on yourself. So sucks, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Yeah, it definitely sucks. Let's move to the next one, Bobby Smurder. Did you see this dude? Bobby Smurder, talking about he'll smack Jay-Z. When I when I seen that, I'm like, yo, man, this guy has totally lost it.

unknown 9:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

From twerking to doing all types of weird shit. It's like, what did Jail do to you, dog? And if I'm not mistaken, didn't Jay-Z shot you out on a song? Oh, Bobby Smurder, anything you heard of. Trying to give you a little bit of credit. Now, I I don't get it with these dudes. It's like people do anything or say anything to get on shade room for a day, for an hour. How'd you read that situation?

SPEAKER_01 9:40

All that time spent in jail and all that real nigga shit he did, and I snitched nobody, came out of jail, and he's now known as a clown. You did all that shit. You were the realest motherfucker alive. We we want to put these people on such a pedestal for being the realist this and the realist that, and then they get out of jail and they get out from doing the realest shit ever, and they get no support, they got no love, they got no type of backing. Everybody just forgets about them, and they just corny, and this are the same people that was sitting there showing you love for doing this and now clowning you for doing X, Y, and Z. And all you're trying to do is look for attention. Slap It's just funny. It's he he is now one of the poster children for irrelevance. And we were worried. We were thinking, okay, once he gets out of jail, will he be able to get back on it? Well, he had a chance. He had a chance, and it didn't work out, and now he's sitting there in a pool of irrelevancy, ain't heard a song from that motherfucker in years, only heard one song from a period, and not unlike a lot of these rap people out here now, we know them more for what they say on a microphone than what they do in the goddamn booth. So, I mean, it's just it's just a point of irrelevancy. I love the fact that Jay-Z's damn near 60 years old, can get in a booth and rap and have a whole album, and it'd be more relevant than most of these motherfuckers' entire catalogs combined. And we still want to hear them actually do it. When you got these people that are just fresh off of it, we don't give a damn what they say. It just goes to show you that he's still the hottest, most relevant thing in hip-hop. That's why people want to hate on him. That's why people want to, that's why headlines go when his name shakes. And unfortunately, nobody will give a damn. And we're probably giving Bobby Smurda a lot more light than a lot of people will, even talking about it. But yeah, it just shows the relevancy that he's kind of fell to.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Yeah. Nah, yeah, absolutely correct, man. Absolutely correct. As I find this next one, I don't know why they changed my timeline like this, bro. I like to have a timeline where I can see everything. Yeah, it's much. Why we do that? Why I find that? I actually wanted to play this clip right here. Did you get a chance to see? Here we go. This it's a debate going around over this. You know, you ever heard of K Dot from Philly? Well, this guy, I forget exactly his name, but he does like interviews with like people that like on the streets that uh you know do drugs. Somebody show like a video of him like completely fizzed out. I'm trying to find it in my phone.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

K Dot.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Yeah, and a lot of people were I wanted to show you the video so you can get a good perspective on it. A lot of people's like, they shouldn't show him like this. Here it is, right here. Here go the video.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

I feel bad if I left you like this, bro.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

That's K dot.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Make sure you gotta end them with the sternum.

SPEAKER_02 12:43

Yeah, the uh was the Narcan.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's at that point where you need that, but at least sternum rope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go.

SPEAKER_02 12:49

But you know, the crazy part of oh, there's somebody here. Okay, you know the crazy part, they get mad. Some people get mad if you do that. Oh, yeah, they know. You know what I mean? They're like, God damn, you know what I mean? You done fucked up my high, but but nevertheless, where do you staying? Because a lot of people's like, yo, why the hell you do this?

SPEAKER_01 13:02

Yeah, I'm always gonna be like that. Get the goddamn camera out of his face. Yeah. I know that you got document and you got content, but not everything is content. Like, and in certain situations where you're trying to help him, like you, like you, oh you you good? This is what's going on right now. You good? Yeah, that'd be the last thing I'm thinking about doing, bro. Oh shit, this nigga fucked up. Yo, you good? Right, right. You good? Like, nah, if you're really in a situation where you're trying to serve and help, and you actually know this dude, I'm the last thing I'm thinking about is recording it. And one, I want to make sure the brother's alive. And two, let's get him to a point where he doesn't die, right? And then if I wanted to go back, like, and it may not get you the million of views you're looking for, but at least it'll keep your goddamn conscious and your soul real. People want to talk about selling their soul and shit. This is what I'm, this is what I this is what I believe it is. Like, you do you will do anything for a like, for a piece of attention, for some content. And it's like, bro, not everything needs to be documented. And I'm sure that that brother, if he ever sees that or ever knows, okay, I'm sure his family, if somebody that's close to him, don't want to see that shit on the internet. Right. They know what he's going through. I'm sure they they know what his situation is, but that don't mean they need to see it and then see a bunch of people commenting on the shit that don't know anything about it or don't have any right to even know it exists at all. So I'll never be a proponent of throwing cameras up in crisis and those types of situations. Some things, and in some situations, I think cameras are warranted and it's important to have certain things, but not every situation. And this is one of them, man. I I just I don't I don't want to see that, and I don't like seeing that.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Doesn't matter though that this guy, this is what he does though. Like this guy, he's not on interviews, he like documents like people in Kensington, he's in Camden. I think even in Lang City sometimes he gets people's stories. And here's why a lot of people are mad for one. They know he's out there, but recently there were like videos of him cleaning himself up. He had been sober, and they said he was he was working out, getting better. So now people's pissed, like, damn. Why even and I I agree with you. I'm just trying to, you know, I'm trying to play devil's advocate a little bit. Of course. Like, because the other guy, I'm sure the guy, I think his name is ATM something. ATM where he has like a whole channel with this stuff. I'm sure you're gonna have his explanation of why he did it. He probably said, This is what I do. I'm just trying to show, I'm documenting. No different than somebody in the war zone or like World Star. People get mad at him for showing fight, but this shit's happening. So it's the same kind of dichotomy. So so is there any excuse because this is what he does, and he's out there and he's like, damn, look, in your opinion.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

I'm not gonna condemn the brother for doing the kind of content he does. It's just not my thing. Like, it's just not my thing. I couldn't do it. I'm gonna always find it wrong. I'm always gonna disagree with it because I'm of the proponent that not everything needs to be seen on social media. And I'll ask you this. I'll ask him this. I can't ask you because you don't have the answer. But if his family asked you to take it down, if he got himself together and politely asked you to take it down, would you? Because now you don't have his consent. Or is it because you got this content and you let okay, I'm gonna give you another prime example. Let's say this motherfucker's at 500K on his way to a million, and his family hits you up and asks you to take it down. Or somebody close to him, or even he asked you to take it down. Would you take it down on the strength of I respect this person, I respect this human being, I'll take it down? Or damn, my analytics say this shit's at 750 now, it's on his way to a million. I know what I'm gonna get for that, I'm gonna keep it up. That's all I was saying.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

Yeah, I yeah, yeah. And I've seen a lot of people's like a lot of people's telling me, I'm not sure if it was the family, you know, but um, I won't want to see my family like that. Right. You know what I mean? Even if you know they out there, you know they out there, right? But don't make it that real for me. You know what I mean? That's that's kind of crazy. So yeah, it's just sad that him and a lot of other people are in that situation, you know what I mean, and probably enjoying it, probably loving every minute minute of it, but at the same time, it's agonizing for him. You know what I mean? So that that's the thing, man. So hopefully, hopefully, you know, he can get himself clean because a lot of people say he was the best in the city, at least one of the best in the city. Yeah, but he just got caught up out there, man. So yeah, I agree with everything you said, man.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

It's a couple it's plenty of NBA players, NFL player, rap star models, right in Kensington as we speak.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Yeah. It's sad. Yep. And they I heard they even give him stuff away for free. Yeah, they do. That's crazy. That's like a drug haven. Everything. Like they'll give you food, and you ain't gotta, you know what I mean? The drug. I I watched some of the guys' stories and people spending like two or three hundred dollars on drugs, like, damn. Could you imagine if you would take that and like if you got that hustle to get them drugs and shit, if you put that to something else to get yourself right and get going. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that and it's a trap. Once you're there, a lot of people ain't getting out. Yeah, man. You know what I mean? So that that's a shame. Like people coming from all over the world, bro.

SPEAKER_01 17:35

That's a scary place to go to, boy. You ever drive through? I'm sure you've driven through it many a times. I've driven through it many a times. It never gets easier. That shit is rough. Right. Driving through that shit. I'd rather drive through some, and I'd rather be through neither, but it's almost easier to drive through an unsafe neighborhood than to drive through that shit. Cause it's like and you don't feel like it's safety, it's just to look at the situation. It's like yo, this is my eye-opening.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

Yeah, it's crazy, man. Yeah, it's crazy. All right, I got a good top, and then we got one more after this, so we up out of here. Oh, this brother man, I don't even know if he's real nowadays, because they got AI people now. I don't know if you know that. Yeah. Like this, this that Jewish guy, he's AI, I heard. Like somebody made it. That gotta be saying all that shit. Oh, the white, yeah. He's AI, he's not even real.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

But I think this guy might be right. He looks real, but you can make like a whole AI character right now and have it out to like an influencer.

SPEAKER_01 18:21

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 18:22

It's crazy. You know what I mean? But you gotta hear what this guy's talking about. This is powerful. It's about music programming.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Environment. It's what they're listening to. It's the reason why some people keep crashing out. It is not just their environment, it's what they're listening to every single day. A recent study came out again showing how music influences behavior. But I don't think people really understand how deep that actually goes. Because music isn't just entertainment, it's repetition. And repetition is conditioning. And what you repeat eventually becomes normal. When you listen to credentials, real music all day, then stop the extreme. And not because you're a bad person, but because your brain is just what it is repeatedly. And what people don't think about it is you're not just conditioning yourself, you conditioning your children and everyone around it too. People listening to real music all day, they're one of what they grow up aggressively, and emotionally reactive, and otherwise a commercial behavior, because it's a dangerous risky is familiar. Even if they can grow up living in controls, let's make it stripes, let's take equal dangers, let them music, growing from the strip away, growing from the church, growth and dangerous, people wonder what they do is grow up thinking that children equals reality. It's because children equals step away. Music from reality, they absorb it. And it's because music is one of the most powerful teachers of culture. And the deep part is music, it doesn't just influence behavior, it influences identity. And if you think of one of the many people who grew up listening to Jay-Z, Gucci, Jay-Z, I'm not saying it's their fault, but a lot of us wanted to hustle or actually hustle because we were influenced by the lyrics and their music. I remember Jay-Z and one on one. One of the best albums ever in a man of players, I remember the impact it had culturally. And if you was growing up running that time, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Because if you listen to music repeatedly, you start seeing yourself in the lights now that you hear it. It's even more dangerous today. And I'm not saying it's right, but when I grow up, rappers rapped about selling drugs. Getting money, buying big homes, having cars, having jewelry. But today they primarily rapping about doing drugs and being drug abusers, being towards titles, bad, depressed. This heavily impacts the youth today. And it's why I personally really don't listen to crash and drug music. I definitely don't play it around children. Because you can't say you want peace while constantly feeding your mind chaos. You can't say you want discipline while steady feeding your mind impulsiveness, which is why I listen to instrumentals, inspirational music, jazz music, get money music. Because what you listen to quietly shapes the person that you become. And most people don't realize that music is one of the most consistent influences in your life. You might listen to music for two to four hours a day. That's more time than most people spend reading, learning, reading, or even thinking intentionally. So the question becomes if music is programming your mind, who is doing the programming? Because whether people realize it or not, you're not just choosing music, you're choosing influence. And what you listening to daily might be shaping your future more than you think.

SPEAKER_02 21:08

And this is that's crazy because it's the message that we've been putting out since we had this show. Yeah. The way you articulated those, bomb. You know what I mean? Unbelievable. And when you listen to that, it kind of shows you why we're probably one of the most important podcasts out here, bro. Because the message that we're putting out, like, yo, yeah, the music and the people that we call out and like, yo, hold on, hold on. We gotta say something about the sexy res, the Cardi B's, the drill, this and that. We we gotta we gotta put the message out there because as innocent as we think that it is, it ain't. Yeah, it's shaping their future, it's shaping their reality, bro. It's a real pro we shake it off like it's nothing, but it's a serious issue. And now we're starting to see that it pretty much shapes who we are. People don't want to be around black people like that, man. People love. At us, they want they're they'll take our money, they don't want to live around us, they get scared when they see us, they put us all in a box. And this is not primarily because of the music, but the music and the way that is, you know, what you know the reality that is shaping for us now. Yeah. You know, the sluts, the hoes. That's normal. That's what people think we are. Killers, robbers, murderers. That's what people think we are because of this nut-ass music and this industry and the people that push it. But what's your what's your thoughts, man, on that?

SPEAKER_01 22:28

It's a it's a million percent correct. And it was crazy because I've been doing like real life case studies in real time with this shit without even realizing I'm doing it. Like subconsciously, I'm doing it. And I'll give you an example like driving. I listen to a lot of sports talk radio and shit, right? For YouTube now. I'm driving, I'm listening to that. And I used to be heavy in music, but I really don't rock with the music today that I used to. So then I started just putting on old school RB music and things, reminiscing in the feelings and the mindset that it took me back to, the creativity and just the way that it opened my mind up different than even listening to a sports talk or mind-numbing or not listening to anything at all. How that music changed my whole dynamic for the day, the way I thought, the way I moved, and everything. So now I was like, all right, let me listen to certain different kinds of music when I work out and how that makes me feel, how that makes me move. And then I thought about, damn, I remember back when, you know what I mean, life was just rough. You know what I mean? Early 20s and stuff, and life was rough. And I used to love listening to Biggie and Pac, but in particular, Biggie, the first album, Ready to Die. That was my shit. I would always listen to Suicide. When I die, fuck it, I wanna go to hell. Because I'm a piece of shit. It ain't hard to fucking tell. And I would just go through it like damn, and I would think about how that made me feel. And I had to turn the shit off and stop doing it because I started becoming this took her to come to my reality. I was a piece of shit. I was cheating. My what girl probably does want to see me dead. She ain't gonna care. Like, whoa, no, nigga, that ain't the truth. That ain't the case. But in my mind, that's what it was going through. And this was Biggie back in 2000, and then the shit came out in '93. But this was back in 2000. So now you listen to these kids with the advance of social media and how that's hypnotically giving them a rhythm. And then you think about the music, and it ain't even real lyrics no more. It's more chants, and it's just more to get into your subconscious mind. And then you look at how they're moving. You look at the situation with Gucci and Pooh Shisty now. You got a whole generation of kids wearing shisty masks. You got a 50-year-old nigga and Uncle Murder getting mad at Gucci because he influenced an entire genre back in the day and wanting to sell drugs. So you're admitting the power of music, but then in the same breath, you'll have people in the comment section go, oh nigga, it's the parents' job. Oh, nigga, it's this. Oh, nah, there's this. Is it really? Because parents can do a phenomenal job. My parents did a great job, but I was still a piece of shit. It wasn't hard to fucking tell when I put those type of things in my mind. Then I go and I think about my son now, 18 years old, doing the things that he's doing, the great things that he's doing. I think about the music he listens to. Students in there listening to RB music or Michael Jackson, or if it is hip-hop, is Kendrick or somebody like that. He's not a Christian or somebody's faking to be something he's not. He had a kid out here living in this world, but the music is influencing him to do good things.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

You know what I mean? And I'm not going to apologize for it. I think it's great. But then you think about sexy rays and you think about the drill and how many millions of people, kids, male and female, are being affected by these things in these communities. And it sucks because not only are they listening to it, but their parents are listening to it, and their parents are walking and living in that life and trying to move in that life. And it's just, it's, he was a million percent correct. Think about I think about my generation in high school and how dipset. Not the greatest of rappers, but the trendset is that they were in the things they were saying. A million motherfuckers wanted to be like them. So it's it it what the dude, the brother said, was a million percent correct. Argue with your mama if you think it's not correct, and really think about how music and the type of music you've listened to, and the type of music your parents and your people around you have listened to, and how it they move and how it affects them. It was a million percent correct.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

You go put on some hip hop from like the 80s, from where we were born. The hip, the hip, the hip, hip hop, but you don't stop. Fight the power. Like all these, you know what I mean? Even listening to what a man, what a man, or my good man. Like how it kind of changed. Like how this shit started, like this shit was enlightening us. This shit was, you know, our freedom music. This shit could have freed us if it stayed on the same trajectory. And I think the powers that be kind of knew that. They did, and they started marketing and pushing and going into the ghettos and finding the people who were just talking about their experiences with the police and the stuff that was going on, which inherently is nothing wrong. But now you put these people on the mainstream now, and now people start wanting to be like these people. See, even when I was listening to Jeezy back in the day, I'm trying to sell some weed and little dumb shit like that, and listening to, you know, even the Jay-Z and shit, wanting to hustle, and you know, I got a thing for them big body Benzes, and you know, all this different shit. The wearing the Yankee hats and you know, just wanting to be these people. You know what I mean? So now the shit has especially the women, but the young boys too.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 26:59

And yes, the parents are in the house, and yes, the parents play a major role, but so do these artists. Guy like Lil Wayne, future. It's no coincidence that as soon as they start talking about Molly and Percocets and all that shit, now that shit explodes. Everybody wants to do it. That's the thing to do. Now you looking right in, oh my man got it. He got them. Okay, let me take some of them shits. Next thing you know you in a fucking whirlwind of fucking hell, while these dudes is lying about taking it, pushing propaganda from these record companies and shit, and and getting rich off the shit. Liquor companies get behind them, all types of companies get behind them because they know that they're influential. Nobody's coming to you, right, and giving you a deal, putting liquor on your table to sell if you're not influential. It's just not happening. Right. It's not happening. So they know exactly what it's doing. They don't give a fuck because look, I profit, I go and live in Tinsel Town somewhere, and these niggas better come nowhere around here because I'm gonna have security, I'm gonna have my gates 20 feet high, I'm gonna have cameras everywhere, and I have a security call to shoot show nigga ass down if you think about coming and inflicting that shit that we put on y'all on us. That's the way this shit goes at the end of the day. And you heard people say it. Lori Leo Cohen and others say it. Like they look at it like this. I got a liquor store, I got 20 liquor stores. They're gonna buy this shit anyway. You know what I mean? I'm gonna sell it. No different than a drug dealer. I'm selling crack. Oh, you're killing your people. Well, shit, they're gonna buy it anyway. I might as well get in that little funnel. They're gonna buy it from somebody. They're gonna buy from somebody, might as well sell it. So, so it's like, yo, we're in a serious situation in America. Serious. We take it too lightly. We do. We take this shit very way too lightly. And the music is one of the biggest reasons why. Nobody could argue that. You go, oh, the parents. Nah, the music, and in a way, would you say it is, would you say that Gucci man created the Pooh Shady? Yeah. Indirectly and or directly. He created the Pooch Eistie.

SPEAKER_01 28:59

Yeah, that whole era ushered in what you see right now. Without question. And maybe not him directly, but what if he influenced his dad who influenced Poosh Eistie? In whatever kind of way it was there. The the seeds were planted and it was there. And that was the danger of it. That was the danger of it back then, that was the danger of it now. And this is why you can't get mad at a Gucci for wanting to change his life because he probably seen no different than a drug dealer who plagued his community for years on end saying, I want to change and I want to be different. Now, has he ever came out publicly said it? No, should he? Hell yeah. But 100%. Yeah, you you grow and you learn. But yeah, the the era, the era that we came from and we kind of grew from spawned a lot of these crazy motherfuckers you see now, unfortunately. And then on top of what social media and then the own their own music themselves, and now Pooh Shaisty is his own entity and his own way of what's the word I'm looking for, uh shaping the youth and influencing the youth. Okay, okay. He's the he has his own wave of influence, and now he's sitting there like, okay, his influence has turned him into an even more monster because they're glorifying that monster shit. I have to live this persona. This is who I am. This is what's getting me the love and credit that I want so bad. And now he's sitting in jail again.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

Let me let me throw you a curveball on this one. Yes, sir. Let me close this out. What about the people that's gonna say, well, white people consume hip-hop, they listen to hip hop, other people listen to hip-hop too. How come they're not turning out like this? What would be a response? I'll give you mine if you want first. Go ahead. My response is this they have a different reality. Not all, but most they have a different family different family structures. Now, do some of them end up crash outs? Absolutely. You see them, but the majority don't because of the power system that's in place and the resources that they have around them. What family, you know, the way they're taught different things, how to do things. So they don't have to necessarily resort to going to sell drugs or resort to going to do illegal things because daddy owns this, or uncle owns this, or my daddy's friend and my daddy's friend is gonna get me a job here because all this stuff goes back to economics at the end of the day. These guys don't want to really be out there selling drugs like that for real, for real. But if that's the only thing that you have within arm's reach, and people don't always go that way. But if you take a kid with no parents, his mom on crack, right? You put him in the middle of the hoods of North America, and he's 13 years old. Everybody, anything that he sees that's successful is a drug dealer, right? And he's outside, his stomach's touching his back, he got nobody that loves him. Now he got this guy in the corner that's showing him love. That's his home, that's looking out for him, that's giving him some food, that's giving him some money. Like, yo, you wanna make money like me? You wanna wear this chain like I got? Wish this. Next thing you know you give him, fuck it, oh shit. I'm gonna make $200. I can pay my mom's bill, my mom needs this, and I can help. Come on, man. I'm not saying I'm making an excuse, but this is a social experiment that they did because they were us first in the country doing the crimes and doing this and doing that. But again, America's social order said, all right, we're gonna put this in place for them to do this. They ain't got our police force. This they can go do this, city hall jobs, we'll give them in unions, this and that. So now they're able to pick themselves up by their bootstraps with the help of the United States government. They chose us to be the permanent underclassmen. They chose us to be the people that's gonna be the underworld, the Lucky Lucianos, the John Gotti's, the Joey Marlinos, those guys at the bottom. That's who the that's who we are now. So can we get out of it? Yeah, we can. Yeah, but we're gonna have to we're gonna have to show some unity somewhere. That that would be my answer to why, like, you know, it's just different. Different culture, for one, they got different culture, yeah. They got different, you know, this ways of going about and moving through life that we lost in this country.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Yeah, and what I'd say to kind of extend on what you said is I think that when they listen to our music, they have a keen understanding of what their reality is and what it isn't. And they know it's no different than us listening to a country or a rock song. Yeah, it may be entertained by it.

SPEAKER_02 33:20

Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:20

But we know that and subconsciously that's not our reality because one, they don't look like us, they don't live in the same environments, they don't move like us. So when a a black, a white person can listen to a hip-hop song and it doesn't really affect them the same way, is because yeah, they're entertained by it. Yeah, they're uh uh intrigued by it because they're naturally intrigued by us as a people, regardless. Right. They also can go home and know that them selling the drugs or that drill, that's not a part of their actual reality. Right. Because they're going to a country concert with their parents in a in a big ass festival, or they're gonna go sit on a yacht or go, you know what I mean, or go to their family's two million dollar barbecue or whatever the case may be, look out, and they don't have to deal with these realities, but when they're in their house, they can go and cosplay something that isn't their actual reality. So, no, they're not gonna be influenced by it because their influence is their actual reality. And uh, when you look at us, it's like, okay, when we live in these situations, it was no different than uh we watching Power Rangers when we little. Yeah, we wanted to be the black dude. Why? Because it's the only black dude on, right? Or we want to or we want to watch American Gladiators and we find people we cool with, but we always kind of lean toward the brother because, or WWF, we lean toward the brother because even though they weren't the superstars, we liked them because we could relate to them. I don't think it's any different in music, and it just is what it is. Like they we can't sit back and go, I think it would be very lazy and very crazy to go, okay, well, it's not affecting white people. Yeah, but their shit ain't affecting us. So don't sit back and act as if what they're got going on when they listen to hip hop is anything remotely similar to what we got going on when we listen to the genre of music because it's us doing it to us.
