White lives matter doesn't exist. Where's the white lives matter? Where's the white lives Matter crowd? When it was black lives matter, it was white lives matter. It was all lives matter. Where are the all lives matter people? Where's the outrage? The only outrage I'm seeing is from white left leftist women online. White leftist people in general. And then that outrage turns to finger pointing that black people aren't being loud enough. I seen a tweet. Okay, black people, you've proved your point. Now can you come help out? That's not any way to start a conversation. Ah, you think darkness is your ally. I was born in it, molded by it. Black people, you've made your point. What are you talking about? How about an apology? Do y' all ever think to do that? No. Because white people don't know how to apologize. Because they don't see anything that they've done as wrong. If this is the crossroads, we come to the point now you're gonna make it seem like it's us causing and creating division while you stood by and watch us get murdered from 2014 to 2020. Jesus. Jesus. You couldn't go a week without seeing one of us get killed on tv. And we had to internalize that pain. How many times did the Rodney King play take? Play over and over in the 90s. Propaganda is a real thing. They play cops non stop during the 90s, and it makes every black person look like a criminal. So when we tell you that black people are coming in our neighborhoods and killing us, shit, you must deserve it. Well, you know, black people are criminals, right? So because you trust your media, because the media always has your best interest, because painted white people in a benevolent light, it's good for the power structure because it makes you look at criminals as somebody who has to wear a ski mask and not a white man in a suit, when the biggest criminal that ever walked America way back then and still now is a white man in a motherfucking suit. Gun nuts, right? Second Amendment gun nuts says it's my right to have a firearm just in case the government gets tyrannical. Hmm. Well, guess what, nigga? It's getting very tyrannical. It's been very tyrannical. You don't think that black people Experience tyranny in this country. What the fuck do you think Jim Crow was? Is it not tyrannical to enact a chemical warfare on one race and subset of people and completely destroy the infrastructure of all their neighborhoods, the business practices of all their neighborhood? No, it's not tyrannical because it doesn't affect me. The NRA loves to poke their head out when we start talking about gun reform because children are constantly being murdered in schools. But a cop can shoot you point blank range in the face as an act of tyranny. And the NRA is silent. I'm just saying, maybe black people aren't so crazy. Maybe black people are tired of fighting everybody's fight and our fight alone. Starting movements just so you can co op them. And then the movement dies. The left is okay with violence so long as the victim isn't white. And now that the victim is white, you realize, oh, they're coming for everybody. But to start as they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. We talking about the Haitians. That's how it starts. It starts as, or it reads as Somali care. Adoption fraud. The ringleader's a white woman. The star says, they're taking our jobs. None of you niggas want to work on a farm. You don't want to harvest crops. You don't want to clean toilets. You don't want to work in a hotel. You don't want to drive in this gig economy. You don't want to be an Uber Eats driver. You don't want the jobs that migrants have. But that's how it starts. And it ends with a white woman getting shot in the face by a federal agent who doesn't have the authority to enforce the law. It's literally in his name that this is about immigration. What did that white woman have to do with immigration? It starts when an off duty federal agent murders Keith Porter and it's not his job to enforce the law. It stops. And then it starts. And it starts all over again. The most sinister, insidious people that have ever walked this earth, and especially here in these Americas, this, these United States of America, have been Caucasian men that simultaneously convince you it's everybody else. When they come for women's reproductive rights, well, they go ahead and tell you they don't give a fuck about women, don't give a fuck about you, but you never thought it would end in that type of violence. You always thought you was exempt from it. Nobody is exempt from fascism 2026. There needs to be more collective practicing about what we give our money and our attention to. You got white women on TikTok asking to join the Panthers, seeing us as their protectors while simultaneously historically seeing us as their predator. You can't make this shit up. This is what we were saying about this shit is a mental illness. This in and of itself is. Is out of control because already think you're a savage. They don't think you should be there. They're actively protesting your existence in their space while you protest their existence in your space because their existence in your space is seeking to harm you. So you fear the message that's already prevalent. You send the message that you will protect them. If they would have beat that nigga to death, shit would have changed. I'm telling you what I know. You need to be able to identify what season you are in. And you have to understand the idea of being in a season because you're expecting growth and you are in the midst of a freezing winter. You don't want it to be winter, but it is. You have to understand the season you're in. I have been in some places who. I've been in some dark, bitter winters, and I will return to a dark, bitter winter because I understand the rhythm of nature and I'm not afraid to be in sync with nature in an unnatural world. You have to reclaim the rhythm of nature. You have to reflect on the things that you see going on outside, because that's what really matters. Billboards don't grow out the ground. They have to be placed there. So while you may want your life to be a billboard, that's a manufactured spot. You are a tree. The tree isn't dead until it falls. And even when it falls, it still nurtures. Everything around can become shelter for an animal that lives on the ground, it puts back into the soil on the earth. So. And. And it also adds to the root system that it was once a part of. But because we're so disconnected with nature in this unnatural world, we've gotten out of tune, we've gotten out of rhythm, we've gotten out of sync. And we want things to happen in the winter that we know can only happen in the spring. I wish you all the best. Whatever you do, do it for self and do it for your own sexual. Not sexual, matter of fact, do it for yours. Do it. You get a divorce anyway. Cat do it. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I was gonna say self gratification, but that too. Shit, some sexual gratification may be what you need, you know what I'm saying? You might need a little sexual healing come for you. And they be trying to say. Cause your mother is biologically white. Like that's supposed to hurt your feelings. My nigga. What's your mom's your doctor? My name. What's her name? Oh, my mama. Yeah. Nah, not my adopted mama. No, no, no. My mama. Okay, I'm sorry, Denise. My bad. Ms. Denise. Yeah. Black lady from Thomaston, Georgia. Listen, Brad. No, no, no, no. I want to say this. I want to say this. No, I want to say this. All right. She raised you. Yeah. Black lady. She got me at two days old. Exactly. Stop coming for my boy. He was raised by a black woman from the Southern. They don't care. I don't give a. They gotta make me a tether. Oh, they even try to cycle. Yo, you, son. Yo, you FBA come for me. I'm from here.
C
I'm black.
A
What's up? Born in Grady, Georgia. Red Clay. Come see me. She wants. What you wanna do? I'm on the black. What you want to do? Niggas?
C
Fuck you.
A
Niggas. Yeah. You can't find a loophole with this nigga. They don't need context. And every. Like, the context is clear, but you can remove the context so you can make my statement about what you want it to be about. Yeah, that's a lack of intelligence, for one. And it's also a sign of cult behavior and manipulation. Yeah, you just hear FBA and you go, that's just like Christians hear Jesus. And they go, yeah, you know, it's just like this is like, all lives matter here. Black lives matter. And they go, yeah. And speaking of all lives matter, we're not gonna. All lives matter. Black History Month. We're not gonna do that. Black History Month originated from Negro History week, established in February 1926, by historian Carter G. Woodson and the association for the Study of African American Life and History to coincide with the birthdays and of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, it expanded to a full month in 1976, officially recognized by President Gerald Ford. Now, let me. Now let's take it a step forward. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black history month in 1976, urging Americans to seize the opportunity to honor the too often neglected accomplishments of black Americans. Full stop. We're not gonna be ahistorical. We're not gonna erase our contribution. We're not gonna erase our bloodshed. We're not gonna erase the things that we built. We're not gonna. All lives matter. This shit. When we talk about the Haitian Revolution, niggas, Don't be like, well, there was American revolts. We don't do that. We don't do that. We let you have your moment. We'll let you be centered. For the next 28 days, black Americans will be centered, period, point blank. Okay? Not doing no remixes. Diddy's locked up, but the remix is over.
B
All right?

So as soon as I see a nigga do one of these. Oh, you know what it was? Oh, shit. We know what he doing talking to his people.

Yeah, I pay a to be a parent if I was in Illuminati. Give it all up. Because we doing these book shows. It's like. I mean, we not doing a mixer after, man. My man, Big Cabin doing his thing on the ones and twos. Yeah, we gotta make you the dj. Yeah, we gotta make you the host. Yeah, he did his thing. Hey, look, he wanted DJ in Minneapolis, but he did host the show. He had the crowd turn. Okay. We never seen no ass shaking at the grits and eggs before the mix. Before the mix, before the mixes, before the mix, before the knowledge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Normally shake ass, post not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pre knowledge. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? It was pre knowledge. Pre. Pre movements. You know what I'm saying? Pre knowledge. Posterior movements was going on. And I just heard the crowd roaring. I was like, oh, they eating this up. They like that. I didn't know what was going on. You know what's going on? So they showed me a video. I was like, hey.
B
Oh, hey.
A
Okay, Big cat. All right. Shorty crawled on the stage. I said, oh, shit. Shorty rolled on the stage. Yeah. Janet Jackson. Either way. And I was like, yeah. But then I was like, man, you know, I'm nervous for my friend. Cause he ain't never did this shit before. And, you know, it's like a learning curve. And we got on that fucking stream the other night. And first of all, yeah. Shout out to you. I appreciate you. That was. I mean, you got in the bag. Appreciate you.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
You expanded the bag.
C
Yeah.
A
You know what I'm saying? The bag was looking a little slim before. Yeah, you're about to duff pull out. Yeah,
C
yeah.
A
Bought that Duff out. You? That Duff out. You know, Jack Harlow. Oh. Dropped an album called Monica. I haven't listened to it. Me neither. I'm not going to listen to it. I haven't listened to anything before that either. I've never listened. Let's keep it on this. I mean, we're gonna be honest. Yeah. You know. Yeah, whatever. So Monica, my knicker gets on an interview with two white boys and says, yeah, throughout the process of making this album, I got blacker. Oh, oh, okay. So I get it. We're trying to be funny guys. I don't find that shit funny. I think the thing about jokes, you know, you know, at its core level, somebody has to laugh. So if it's not funny. And what is it they calling the man? He. He on the COVID dressed like. They called him Yakub Kweli. Yakub Kweli is nuts. Yakub Kweli. Shout out to him. I think Yakub Kweli, they got a nice ring to it, though, Is the thing that really made me lose my mind. I was like, okay, I'm with this. They had a few names for him, so we can. Let me see if I can find some of these names. Okay. Music Stole Child. I seen that one. Yakub Kweli, Charlie Kirk Franklin. Yo, Old Dirty Alabaster. Hey, yo, Old Dirty Alabaster's crazy. De la stole, de la stole. Kkk, Carl Thomas. Hey, yo, the Anglo Saxon niggas is nuts.
C
Yo.
A
Niggas is nuts. D' Angelo Saxon. D' Angelo Saxon is crazy. Shout out to Michael B. Jordan, man. A deserving Oscar. But, you know, Delroy Lindo losing to Sean Penn is crazy. Sean Penn. Now, I will say this. I'm not on the board with the thing is, is like one battle after another. I like the fucking breakdowns of the film more than I like the film. The film was okay. It was all right. Mm. Sean Penn's character really just fell for the white trickery, you know what I'm saying? His fetish for black women is what ultimately kept him out of the white supremacy club that he was so desperate to try to get in. And they knocked him off in the end. But that shit was not comparable to Delroy Lindo's performance in center. Not only that, just the scene in the car. Yes. Was enough. That was it. But again, meet white mediocrity for the win. Marty supreme is a movie about a. That is a con artist that believes he's going to be the best ping pong player in the world. It's 2026. That means in 2025, some niggas got together and said, let's make a movie about ping pong, nigga. Fuck that nigga and that fucking paddle. Yeah, we built a world power without getting any of the credit while making majority of the contributions. And we don't want to assimilate into whiteness. That's why y' all don't like us all. Y' all are out here on a campaign to kiss white people's ass globally. That's why y' all try to degrade and disrespect us because y' all see our culture as the antithesis of whiteness. Because it is. And y' all are willing to trade in y' all culture at the drop of a hat for white acceptance. And they're never gonna accept you. Y' all hate us because we thrived in the midst of colonialism to the point where we made way for you to be able to come over here and thrive too, just so you could degrade us a lot of people of color. Cause don't call me no fucking person of color, nigga. Fuck that. That's for coons. You know what I'm saying? You got your curry coons.
B
Yeah.
A
You know what I'm saying? You got your ramen coons, A lot of coons. Like your Caribbean coons, Got your oxtail coons, got your Congo coons, Oxtail coons, Oxtail coons.

Hey, Jolof. Capo. Shout out to my Brazilian. Shout out to all the Brazilian real out there in Brazil, you know what I'm saying? A lot of coons in the fas. Hopefully not. Hopefully I keeping it real out there, you know what I'm saying? New York City, listen to me right now. If I ever had to cash in the clout coin. Oh boy, oh my. Oh, oh my. Oh boy, am I clashing in my clout coins. I don't never use the clout coins, but we. We going to bring them out. We need. It's hard to yell when the back browse is in your mouth. We're gonna bring them clout coins. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, man, we're gonna cash them hoses. We need to catch. I don't give a. Yeah. If I ever had to cash the clout coin in for anything, it's this. It's this. Yeah, nigga. Let's talk about accountability in our community, because here's the thing about it is nobody is louder on either side than we are about ourselves. Nobody is gonna be louder about our flaws. Nobody's gonna be louder about calling ourselves out. Nobody is gonna be louder about pointing out things when we fall short than our community. So I think oftentimes the mentality is that we're always out to tear each other down, but the reality is we are the only ones who hold each other accountable publicly. And it's because we've been lied on so much publicly. We've been. You know, there's so much propaganda that ruins our public image that we don't have anything to be ashamed about, especially when the majority of our history in this country is built off of people lying about us and who we are. To justify their wrongdoing of us in our community, they utilize media and propaganda every time they come in to burn down one of our thriving black communities. They use media and propaganda to justify the war on drugs, to justify Jim Crow, to justify damn near any. Any situation where they are brutalizing or defaming us and attacking our character. They will use media to justify, and they will be loud about it. And we have always been in a position where we feel like we have to defend ourselves. And on the other side of that coin, nobody is louder about the love that we have for one another. Nobody's gonna celebrate us louder. Nobody's gonna. Nobody's gonna show up for our wins before we do so. The black community, by and large, is always in support of itself, always fighting to control the narrative in our community. When someone is always trying to push a narrative or control their narrative about who we are and how we operate and just what our essence is as people. Now, other communities holding themselves accountable publicly is a fairly new concept. We've seen this, you know, a couple months ago with the Asian community. My bad. My false. Yeah, my bad cat. You know what I'm saying? He's supposed to be working. He want to scroll on Instagram. I was doing research on a 2 Chain episode. Yeah, They are raping and impregnating children in these facilities. These people are supposed to be the enforcers, you know, they supposed to be protecting our borders. What part of protecting the borders does pedophilia play? Yeah, what part of protecting the border is that? What part does that play? And how is that beneficial to our. To our government or border? No, this is the practice of middle management doing with upper management. And the owners. Do the owners rape and impregnate young people? Not young people, children. The owners of this country. Sex traffic children. The owners of this country harass, murder, defame, demean migrant communities in order to take advantage of them, the people they employ. Even in the military. The military nigga come out and say, oh, man, I can't be deployed to a country with all those caramel colored women. I won't be able to control myself. And we know that our military has engaged with the rape of many of Middle Eastern women. We know that when white men engage in war, that's what they do is they rape and pillage. How are we even funding ICE when this is their behavior if it's not within the guidelines of how this government operates? Larry June had this song I used to listen to all the time. 60 days. And he was like, a lot can change in 60 days. Yeah. And I, you know, I was living by that. Like I wanted. I would just focus on the next 60 days. The next 60 days. And before you look, you look up, it's been 365 days and everything done changed. Yeah. So I just want to encourage everybody out there to just focus on the next 60. You know what I'm saying? Focus on the quarter. Don't try to focus on the year. Because I wasn't thinking about no year. First of all. I was scared as fuck. That's the thing a lot of people don't know. It was times I would be texting Kevin on stage, like, man, you ever feel like you ever just wake up scared as fuck that it's all going to go away? He's like, all the time. It's part of it. It's not traditional. Yeah. And it's extremely vulnerable. Especially like having a public image, you know, that can be a little fickle. People decide to change on you, bro. People. If people wake up tomorrow and be like, fuck you, then that is what it is. Yeah. So I think that, you know, in the moment that we living in right now, I'm just grateful we're going to take advantage of these opportunities. We're going to save our money. You Know what I'm saying? We ain't going to just blow it. No, I ain't going to do that. We ain't rappers, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Got to be very strategical with this. Got to be very, very strategic. Came to play around with because you got a blowing shit, and then God going to show you you don't wanna be back in that truck, baby. Hey, man, I definitely wanna be back in the airport, man. One thing about me, baby, I ain't trying to be on them 18 wheels no more. Ain't trying to be outside. But you know, this thing is, this is a pursuit that is gonna breed opportunity, man. And I think anytime you are in your purpose, and you'll know it when you're in it. Cause you'll see it. Like, I'm gonna tell y' all how I knew this was it is because I had been trying that rapping shit for years. And no matter how good I was at it or how good people thought I was, that shit wasn't clicking. It wasn't moving the needle. Soon as I started content creation, my shit started taking off. That's how you know. Cause you need to see results. You know what I'm saying? If you're doing something all the time, all the time, you've been doing your something for years, you haven't seen any results. And you got to be real with yourself about what those results are. If you ain't seeing no results, man, it might be time to pack it up. You know what I'm saying? That's just real. If you've been making music for years and years and years, you ain't had, like, no viral clip. No. No videos over 10,000 views, no videos over 25,000 views, man. It might be time to pack it up, baby. And I ain't gonna say the trade. I'm just saying use your creative pursuit in a different way. Maybe you're not using your voice the right way. I wasn't using my voice the right way. You know, I wanted to use my voice and music, but that was too limited. That ain't what my ancestors said. They said, nah, nah, baby, nah, baby. We gonna go. We're gonna go and speak for this community. Yeah. We're gonna go address America and it's evil. You know what I'm saying? We're gonna go talk about. Do you think your ancestors clash. Keep putting a lot of cream in the streets? Oh, Do your ancestors. Yeah. God damn. I think. I think. Yeah. Shut up. Cracker know what you talking about. Tell them to develop the land. Yeah, shut up, cracker. Always trying to develop some. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Just start the podcast. I like it. I like the raps. Shut up, cracker. But they Scottish though, so they kind of cool. They cool. They Scottish. They cool, cool. That's where I get that. Drinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Goddamn Scottish side. Drinking beer, drinking liquor. Every now and then I be wanting to throw a kill though. Yeah. It's kind of crazy how much life can change in just one summer. Last summer looked completely different than this one for me. These days, everything I do is centered around my kids and making sure they're taken care of. Not just today, but years from now. Becoming a parent changes the way you think. You stop thinking only about what's happening today and start thinking about what if something happens tomorrow and you want to know that your family is protected no matter what life throws your way.

You know what's funny? We spend so much time taking care of everything else in our lives. Work, family, bills, travel, all that. But somehow taking care of ourselves always ends up at the bottom of the list. And for me, especially how much I'm on the road these days, it's easy to keep saying, I'll book that appointment next week. And then next week turns into next month, next month turn into next year. What makes it even worse is trying to Find a new doctor, you got to figure out who's in network, who's actually accepting patients, who has decent reviews.

Shout out, shout out to all the warehouse workers. That's. That's tired of it. That's sick of it. Look, Buddy said all you had to do is pay us a living wage. Now we're looking at about a warehouse that have about 1.2 miles of square footage and 20 employees. That's what got. And no sprinkler system. Now, I will say this. People keep talking about insurance. That's a fire coat violation. It is. And if you in violation, they not even insure that because you ain't insured. Huh? You ain't. You ain't take the proper steps to insure it. Now I'll say this. They may not be able to get no insurance for that, even though they have the evidence, because they didn't take the proper precautions for something like that happening. Secondly, they say they have $500 million worth of product in that building. Now, let me tell you something about $500 million worth of product and 20 employees. You tell me you can't pay them folks. You telling me with $500 million worth of rotating product. Rotating product. It's not just standalone. It's not just inventory. It's rotating. It's paper towels and toilet paper that's getting up out of here, moving. Yeah, yeah. So you telling me probably 90 day rotation of product and you can't pay them folks? You couldn't give them a 85k a year? A 90k a year? Yeah. Easy, easy. It's like among 20 employees. Yeah. It's like, eh, Let me tell you something about them 20 employees. They never gonna leave that job. They gonna show up faithfully. What? Every day I'm making 90 racks at the spot. Yeah. Riding a Fortland. Yeah. And I'm just carrying paper products. This is light, light work. This is greed, man. Greed is expensive. So shout out to my brother. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to my man. Shout out to the fireman. Yeah. Fireman, Lil Wayne.

Okay, that invented vanilla ice cream. I can believe that. Yeah, man. Know what to do with a bean, man. Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Speaking of. You know, nigga, George Washington Carver was doing a lot with peanuts, bro. Yeah, he was doing the absolute most the. You can do so much with a peanut. That was his bag, son. A peanut. Listen, my. It's not. It's not. It's very rare in life that find their passions. Yeah, he found his or. Purpose. Yeah, but that was turning the peanut every which way but loose. I gotta. I got a theory of why shot. It was autistic. No. Oh, no. You know, they say what they did to Joe Washington Carver, right? They say they castrated him, so he lost his nuts, so he utilized nuts to his advantage. Oh. What? Just saying. It's intrusive thought. Well, speaking of intrusive thought, Nuts, man, that podcast came and went. God damn it. Came and went. Damn it came and went. Damn, man. You know, dip your toe in some other shit, man. You know what I'm saying? Can we leave for a minute to come back? Hell, yeah, I think so. I don't know. Look, man, I think we could do. I think we could do a. Take a month, maybe two.

You gotta give. This is the art of war, man. But 48 lost power. And the people. People go crazy. Hey, man, give y' all a chance to see what y' all missing, man. Cause, look, I'm telling you, when we. When we step away from the game, y' all gonna realize, like, damn, this podcast ain't really hitting on it. No nothing, man. Ain't really talking about that. No, no, for real. Well, I mean, you know, unless I'm. For those who like to be entertained, they got a lot to choose from. Yeah, but wait, hold on. Did you see that say that Get Rich and Not Die Trying is not a classic album.
C
So.
A
So here's the thing. We are at the first point in history where we have more bots on the Internet than humans. It wasn't the bot. It was a human that said this. No, no, no, no. At least not what I'm saying.
C
Okay?
A
We are at the. The point where there are more bots on the Internet than humans, which means that the bots are going to start influencing human behavior. And that's all that is, because. What the. How old was this person? Well, I think it was Roy, Mario, whichever one is which. Who? Roy, Rory and Mom. Yeah, Rory, Them, bro. I'm tired of them, bro. Hey, man, look, bro. Y' all are horrible, bruh. Man, listen, bruh, this is the same that said Drake was a better rapper than Black thought, bro. Like, come on, bro, stop talking. Yeah, man, stop talking to them. That. That, you know, that is how they keep themselves real. Yeah, just saying.
C
Dumb.
A
Just saying any goddamn thing, anything he could think of that like, come on, bro. Come on, bro. I was like, get Richard die trying. It's. It's. It's. First of all, not only is it classic, it's the greatest debut album in hip hop history. Yes. Period. For sure. Period. Point blank. And I don't want to hear no arguments about it. Gonna be very hard to come by a plethora of content that's going to feed you intellectually. For the most part. The content that you be digesting is stuff that you feel like you need to correct, and it's a headache. And if. And the thing is, this shit is set up to infuriate smart people, while dumb people just are having a great time. They're just having a good time. So you're going to have to ignore that natural impulse to respond or correct people, and you're gonna have to learn how to just hit. Not interested. Because if a person is as stupid as some of these, like, tweets and some of these threads that I see, if they're that dumb to say that, it ain't no saving them with a response. I just want to rap.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
A
They say without the proper labor, faith don't stand a chance. I put my faith in faith and stand on fertile land I planted seeds Adeline deed turning the trees before rest in peace Tease get printed to me.
