We are in a state of growth. Yeah. So shout out to all the new listeners, all the new viewers. Everybody has recently joined the patreon. A lot of people in the stream. Last night was first timers. And I know they had a ball. Cause we be having a ball on that stream. We be turned up now. I wanna say that it is Black History Month. It is so happy Black History Month. And in honor of Black History Month, every week we will be going through a Black History Month spotlight. This week I wanna spotlight pioneers of entire genres of music.
C
Okay.
B
And sub genres of music. So let's start with OG Sister Rosetta Tharp. Okay? There is no rock and roll without sister Rosetta Thar.
C
Speak on it.
B
But there's also no Elvis without that brother Chuck Berry show. You right? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Hey, man, listen. That boy Elvis was stealing from, man stole everything.
C
Everything he stole.
B
You know what I'm saying? He nothing but a hound dog. That's Rosetta Tharp, man. What we doing?
C
His dance moves was Chuck Berry.
B
That's all Chuck Berry, you know what I'm saying? He took the Rosetta Tharp Chuck Berry and tried to make himself the king of rock and roll. But there is no rock and roll without a black woman. Yeah. So shout out to long live the OG Sister Rosetta Tharp. Long live the OG Chuck Berry. And then let's get into the mother of grunge music. Tina Bell and her band, Bam Bam. So Seattle, Washington, you know, they're known for being the face and the pioneers of grunge music. But they made Kurt Cobain the face of it. I think it's Kurt Cobain and Alison Chains. Yes, but before those two groups came along, there was a band called Bam Bam with the lead singer and vocalist being Tina Bell, a black woman. Yes. And she actually took Kurt Cobain on the road with her. Yeah. So Kurt Cobain Got to see her, you know, pioneer this entire new sound, this new era of music. Yeah. And especially being in the the Northwest, where it's not like a lot of music coming out of the Northwest, you know, everybody trying to either get to LA or New York. This was big. And for her to be the face of it, she's an extreme minority out there, you understand what I'm saying? It's not really nigga weather going on in the Pacific Northwest, bro. You know what I'm saying? That's not nigga weather. No, it's not. No wonder it was so sad and depressing, you know what I mean? Because that's the type of vibes that give off a lot of overcast. Yeah, a lot of overcast. A lot of rain, you know what I'm saying? Great national parks up there, though.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
A lot of preservation. Great. Shout out to my brother. Shout out to Paul Stamets. Paul Stamets. He knew a lot about mushrooms. My. He being at Pacific Northwest.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
But back to the. Tina Bell basically pioneers the. The sub genre of grunge music. And of course, you know, they don't want a black woman being the face of any genre of music. So she's in the lineage of Cicero Zeta Tharp of not getting credit, but pioneering something. And so shout out to Tina Bell, the mother of grunge music. And then we get over here to the Midwest, where we at with it. We in Detroit. Hey. And we got some brothers over there, Bobby Dennis and David Hackney. A band called Death Cold Brothers. Them some cold Brothers. Now these brothers are the pioneers of what today is known as punk rock music. Some black. Some black boys. Yep. From Detroit, Michigan. Yeah. Black middle class. And they. They, you know, I'm saying they folks had to have some bread because they got them bottom drum sets, bottom guitar, bought all that. You know, this when Detroit was, you know what I'm saying?
C
It was at their factory, you know, going strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. GM going strong.
B
Carhartt was going crazy at the time. A lot of Detroit jackets.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
You know what I'm saying? Detroit was on fire, you know what I'm saying? A lot of gm, lot of General Motors cars, muscle cars. Yeah. A lot of Ford.
C
Gm.
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
It was a lot of that in the street.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
And these three brothers basically was in that guitar in that garage cooking some shit up. They was cooking and they cooked up what is known today as punk rock music. Now, if you are on the audio side of things, if you were listening to this on audio. You'll be able to hear this if you listening to this on YouTube. Sorry for you. Can't do it. We like to monetize our videos. You know what I'm saying? We like to monetize our videos, but we're going to play this song called Politician in My Eyes. Now this is. This is. These are young men that are critiquing the government even in the 70s. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So punk rock is anti government. How you grow up and live and you listen to this type of music and then you grow up and be a bootlooker is beyond me.
C
It's crazy.
B
But this is politician by my. Politician in my eyes by death.
A
As long as they get along Politicians in my eyes.
B
They could care less about you they.
A
Could care less about me as long.
B
As they at the end that they want to be they're always wearing smart.
D
Smiles I can't go with the style Politicians in my eyes.
E
Always trying to be slick when they tell us that us we're responsible for sending young men to die we have waited so long for someone to come along and collect our country Long but the wait's been too long.
B
Let's turn this up. All right, that's enough of that.
C
Detroit Rock city.
B
Detroit Rock city. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? That's Detroit. We in the D, baby. Yeah. This is before the buffs. Before the buffs. Before the buffs. Now we gonna stay in Detroit because this is also where you get underground dance music, which is known now as techno music.
C
Okay?
B
Techno is born in Detroit, Michigan. They was doing something different at Detroit.
C
Yeah.
B
Motown.
C
Motown.
B
Listen, listen, listen. And that's what they talked about. They was talking about how def wasn't properly promoted because they wanted every black artist to be a part of Motown. And even same thing with techno. It had to be underground because they wanted everything to be Motown. They had an idea of what black music was. Yeah, but black people created every fucking popular genre of American music, bruh. Of course, now I will give the whites credit for bootleg music. There's a lot of music coming out in support of the police lately in support of the president. Bootleg music is an original white genre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But other than that, we got techno, which is born in Detroit. And there are a band called Death and the birth of techno are both have documentaries. So we'll link those documentaries down here. They're documentaries that live here on YouTube along with one more. Okay. Cause we're Gonna go. We're gonna go across the. We'll go across the lakes to Chicago where a brother named Frankie Knuckles.
C
Oh, shit. Frankie Knuckles.
B
Frankie Nup. Births house music in Chicago's underground. Not only black gay scene, but black middle class scene. Okay? So there was a lot of tension in the streets with the rise of gang war and gang culture, okay, Due to the war on drugs and things like that, which made it difficult for young black gay people and young black middle class people to have a space that was for them. Because everything was kind of. Especially in the black neighborhoods and areas, everything was pretty much overrun and ruled by the gangs, right? So a brother named Frankie Knuckles, who was a DJ at the Loft in New York, opens up this spot called the Warehouse, and house music is born. Shout out to Frankie Knuckles. Shout out to niggas, man.
C
Frankie Knuckles.
B
Frankie Knuckles is the pioneer of what is known now as house music. And it was born in Chicago's underground scene where a lot of their mantras was no homophobia, no misogyny, no gang banging. We not doing that. We come in here to dance, we come to have a good time. And thus we get house music. So shout out to all these pioneers, Rosetta Tharp, Chuck Berry, Tina Bell Death, which is the brothers Bobby Dennis and David Hackney. Shout out Frankie Knuckles. And then shout out to the entire collective of people responsible for tech music, techno music in Detroit, Michigan. Shout out to black peoples. And this Black History Month spotlight. Ow. Now, look, I'm starting to kind of really get excited about doing this, you know, Black history. We ain't just gotta start, we ain't just gotta stop in February, right? Every day is black history.
C
Every goddamn day.
B
We might keep this black history spotlight going, man, but, you know, it's special that is happening during Black History Month because we need to go back and realize, like, not only how many things we pioneered and how many things started, but how many things were stolen from us just so we wouldn't be the face of it. Because if you make black people, if you give black people that credit, then your racism isn't justified. Yeah, you can't justify your racism. This is a lot of people's issue with, you know, this. This meme that Trump puts out about Barack and Michelle. Now, I don't. I did make a video about it, and I didn't want to make it seem like it didn't matter that he did that. Racism is always need to be addressed and spoken about. My thing is, we already know that he's a racist. And I see this as A deflection and as a distraction from what's going on in Epstein files. But I digress. A lot of his constituents are turning on him because of this. And it's because they like their racism to be subtle. They like some plausible deniability. Yeah. You know, they like the. They like dog whistles and things to be underground. Putting Obamas on top of monkeys and calling black people monkeys is a little on the nose for a lot of those covert races.
C
Yeah.
B
And the thing is, like, here's the thing. This is our fucking president. What a world we live in. What a time. This is the president. Right. Not only is he the president, he's damn near 80 years old. If he's not 80.
C
Yeah, he's shitting in the Oval Office.
B
Well, so there's a story about that. Have you heard the story? No. What's the story? So this isn't new, him not being able to control his bowels. They saying that he's been on in Pampers for. Since the 90s because he was on that island with a young man, and he asked the young man to put something in his posterior. Oh. And when the young man put it on his posterior, he kicked it. Donnie.
C
Up him up.
B
Send the files.
C
It's in the files.
B
It's in the files. Damn. Damn. That might be where he, you know, called Obama's monkey here.
C
Damn, Danny.
B
Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? But he's in there shitting all over himself, man. And this is our president. This is our commander in chief. Never before has the presidency just looked so goddamn ridiculous. He's 79 years old. He's putting out racist memes, shitting all over himself. The spray tan ain't hitting like it used to.
C
Nah, nah. Yeah. You know niggas got dementia. The ear dementias.
B
When I see it, the ear healed.
C
Yeah.
B
You know, he put some stims directed stem cells right to the ear that he was supposedly shot in. You know, there's a lot. There's a lot going on in that. In that White House. Yeah. But let's. Let's. Look, I will get to that later. Let's stick with music for a second.
C
Okay.
B
The fall off J. Cole. Now, I don't rush to just listen to things. Even at the time of this recording, it's only been out for two days, so I'm not rushing to make a final decision. I think that's a little tacky. It's kind of watering down the culture of hip hop, too. When you just listen to something one time or you listen and you haven't really digested music. You haven't really sat with it. You just like, oh, this is trash. Or this is a classic. There's two discs. I haven't even fully gotten through disc two yet, but through disc one and through what I've heard on disk two so far, this is a good album. He got some shit on there.
C
Good quality work.
B
Yeah. The Let out is Fire.
C
Yes.
B
The. The Blunt City Blue. The Blunt. I think it's called Blunt City Blues or something like that with Tim's In Future Cole got some shit on here. This is. This is a J. Cole album. Hold on. We back. But, yeah, man, this is a good album, bruh. I mean, so far, so good. I can't really judge it. I'm not gonna rank it. Y' all already ranking it with his other albums. It's been out two days. Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Even at the time this come out, it wouldn't even have been out a week yet. Like, we're diminishing the quality of hip hop by it coming out on a Friday night or late Thursday night, Friday morning, and then we judge it by Friday afternoon. Like, this is trash. This is it. Here's my thing. A lot of y' all have already made up your minds that you wasn't gonna like the album. You see what I'm saying? So he has a song on this, too, where he raps his life in reverse. But he also has a song on this, too, where he basically has a song called what if, where he basically creates a truce between big and pop. Yeah. You know, and. And, you know, maybe he just, you know, what is. What would have happened? What if they would have stayed alive? Where would hip hop be? That's hip hop. That's real hip hop shit. I mean, he's riding around in a Honda Civic selling CDs out the trunk. He's doing J. Cole shit. No features. Of course. I mean, he does have a feature from Tim's In Future, but, you know, when Tim's in future, get on your track. We just talking about a hit. We're just talking about. You know, we. We. We Billboards at this point. We talking Billboard.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
But it's a. So far, especially through this one. It's a great album. Everybody's gonna have their critiques about Cole because of the beef. But like I said before, if this is his last album, you can at least get a man a shot. His Die Hard is gonna always be down for him. But I feel like a lot of y' all in hip hop. Just writing this nigga off just to write him off. And I already told y' all this. Every J. Cole album is gonna have some of the best bars you ever heard and some of the corniest bars you ever heard. That's. That's Drake, That's J. Cole throughout his whole career. The. The unibrow, Unabomber, the mulatto. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what make him go in these directions, but I do appreciate the fact that he just keep doing it. Yeah, that's him. He know, but he gonna keep doing it. He gonna show up every time and be Jermaine, and you gotta love it. But, you know. You know, the thing is, is first listen. First listen. Reviews. You know, I could see you having a first impression, but you calling something garbage off the first listen. You calling something a classic off the first listen. Yeah, it's too extreme. Like, everybody just want to be first. Nobody cares about. Right? Nobody cares about being accurate. Nobody cares about, you know, like, you know, the integrity of journalism. Everybody just cares about being first. I just want to be the person that's first. Cause it's trending, and this might give me some likes. This might give me some views. This is going to give me some engagement. So I just say something. I ain't even listen to that. I guarantee you, y' all haven't listened to an hour and 14 minutes worth of music. They have not. I know you didn't, but it is what it is. Speaking of mulattos, The Cat man strikes again. The Cat Man. The Cat man is back, and he's selling his soul. God damn. Now. So Terence Crawford goes on the Pivot podcast, and for whatever reason with black athletes, whenever black athletes say they're done with something, everybody else wants to always talk to him about, well, what would it take to get you back in the room? Right? The man said he's retired. He left on top. And now the only thing everybody want to ask this man is like, well, would you come back for this? Would you come back for that? Instead of just like, you see what boxer do boxing does to people. Y' all want niggas to have the shakes like Muhammad Ali, greatest of all time, but in the end of his life, like, what a poor quality of life.
C
Yeah.
B
So, of course, Channing Crowder, among the many who wants to raise the question, there ain't. I'm. He says, I'm the type of person that thinks that there is a price on everything. Yeah. So 50 million, 75 million. $100 million won't get you back in the ring. Terence Crawford says, no, because now we talking about selling our souls. This nigga say. This nigga Channing Crowder say this. I don't want the universe to take this as a sign for me. I'm just reporting the news. Chandler Crowder says, For $100 million, you can have my soul. Hmm. The crowd goes silent.
C
I mean, silence. I mean, goddamn crickets. I mean goddamn crickets.
B
And then try to laugh it off. And then in the embarrassment of silence. And Terence Crawford says, well, that's you. Yeah. Now, we know your character.
C
We know your character.
B
Now. He says, sometimes you look at people and you say, damn, you ain't got no dignity. You ain't got no morals.
C
I think a soul.
B
You ever seen the meme with the dog? Yeah, that was him.
C
That was him.
B
Yeah. He's stuck on stupid. But it begs the question, what. What is the price of a soul? Because when we start talking about the soul of somebody, we're talking about their essence for eternity. $100 million after taxes is like 60. You didn't even get goddamn half your soul. Don't went to the irs, got a little piece of your soul over there. At the irs, everything ain't something to joke about. Yeah, joking about selling your soul is not particularly funny, which is why nobody in that room laughed. And then you left in the room stuck on stupid. But it was great for a clip.
C
Goddamn hell of a clip.
B
And like I said, one thing I know about the cat, man. They gonna make a great clip out of him, you know what I'm saying? He's always gonna give pivot a great clip. But the thing is, is that we seen this with Shannon Sharpe. You remember. Remember, for $50 million, I go to hell. Yeah, hilarious at the time. You end up coughing up damn near 50.
C
He went to hell, all right.
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
White girl took you to hell. White devil. The white devil. Goddamn white devil took you to hell. Every time. Every goddamn time. We gotta be careful with our words. We gotta watch what the fuck we say. Because essentially, there is no price to be put on the soul. Right? But there is a lot of people who want fame, fortune and validation more than they want eternal life, if you believe in that sort of thing, Right? So I would urge people to watch your words. You know what I'm saying? I think saying something like that on a. Put up a platform, expecting it to be a joke, and niggas don't laugh. How embarrassing.
C
Hurt your soul.
B
That hurt. Now, he felt his Soul.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. I bet he felt that motherfucker. Bet he felt that motherfucker jump. Yeah. Because like, that ain't no joke. Cause now. Cause now. Now we got the devil drafting up the contract. Come right over here. We think you need your own show. Yeah.
C
We know what it takes for you.
B
Yeah. Channel. We think you need your own show. Huh? What you doing up here with Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor, huh? Everybody's showing up to watch you. You know What? You're right.
C
$100 million.
B
$100 million, $100 million. Only thing we need in return is your eternal soul. Cats, as far as the eye can see, just cats. Cats everywhere.
C
The Cat man podcast.
B
The Cat man podcast. We got a river of milk flowing through them, too. Oh, man, watch yourself. Watch your words. So this weekend, I went up there to see Mandel in New York. He was taping his special. A lot of people don't know who the Mandel man is, but the Mandel man is hilarious. And when I tell you for the entire hour that he was on stage, niggas was cracking up, bruh. Something is wrong with that man. Bro, this man is so seriously funny. That's why now I'm excited to go to la, go out there and holler at a boy. Kev on stage. Yeah, that. That. I think it's called. What is it called? Grief sucks.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna be great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kev is hilarious.
B
First of all, Kev is funny. Yeah, I'm pulling. I'm hopping on the Delta. I don't even know what she said. Cause you born. Cause she born.
C
Yeah. Cause Frontier had no movies to watch.
B
Frontier. Frontier have nothing but silence and stadium seats.
C
That's it.
B
We couldn't complain because we ain't about to take it. Yeah, it was free. It was a free trip. Free trip. God damn. That's a tough five hours.
C
Yeah, my ass was hurting.
B
Yeah, I think it's more like three and a half in the air or something like that.
C
That was like, what in the air? How long was that to get to get to la?
B
It was like four and a half hours. Yeah. Four and a half.
C
Yeah.
B
That was a tough flight. Yeah. Even after you go to sleep and wake back up, you're still in the air. You're still in the air. You hurt?
C
Yeah. You hurt?
B
You're hurting. Frontier is 3 hour or less type vibe. 2 hours.
C
Let's go for a short flight.
B
Yeah. New York and back. I can see a Frontier to New York. Yeah. I can see a Frontier to Chicago, Yeah. I can't see the fronts here. Nowhere else, boy. Do not leave Atlanta and go west on that frontier. God damn. That's a real bus. That's a Airbus. That's an airbus. The people inviting me to come and see them do this tapings in like, early parts of their developing acts and things like that. Like Mandel in the. In his taping for his special, it's called the Dollar Sign. And showing up for Kev, for grief, sucks. For, you know, his tribute to his brother and just all the people he's lost throughout his life. And I can imagine that it's gonna be extremely moving but also equally as hilarious. But it's the power of, like, showing up for other people. This is that golden rule, right? You treat others the way you wanna be treated. Right? And I think sometimes we look at that as in terms of behavior, but the way I interpret that is in terms of action. The golden rule is I'mma show up for you. Because I know that there's going to be times in my life where I want people to show up for me.
C
Facts.
B
And it's an action, you know what I mean? It's not about convenience. It's not about getting something out the deal. It's about I was invited, I said, I go, I'm a show up. And I think that this is something I've learned over the course of this last year is how good it feels for people to show up for you. Yeah. Yeah. When people show up to our shows, they are excited to be there. They're enthusiastic. It breathes life into me, you know what I mean? That people have shown up for me. And so it's important for me to show up for other people. And I think that this is something we can carry throughout every aspect of our lives, is that we could truly treat people how we want to be treated. And we don't need to focus on the negatives of this thing. Cause oftentimes it's like, well, I treated people well and they treated me like shit. And it's like, that's them. Oftentimes we forget that life will hand you consequences in silence. Right? There's some people out here who are dealing with the consequences of actions that they probably done forgot about. You see what I'm saying? And you wondering, like, why ain't nothing going right for me or why don't nobody show up for me? It's all the times you didn't show up for others, or it's all the times that you fuck people over and you used People, and now there ain't nobody left in your world to use. And you wondering, well, why me? What did I do wrong? But you know that karma gonna catch up, bro. The karma gonna catch up. A lot of the reasons why, probably why they releasing the Epstein files and things like that at this time is very convenient that it's being released around the super bowl and the Winter Olympics and shit like that, right? It's very convenient, right. But it's also the law of karma, where it's like, if you admit to doing a thing, if you tell the truth about a thing, whether you do it consciously, subconsciously, or subtly by them putting it in movies, by them putting it in all these different things, they feel like it alleviates them from the karma. Cause it's like, technically, we told the truth. We said what we was doing. But to me, on a more micro scale, these things become very evident in how things play out in your life. I know for a fact there's just so many things I've done in my life for myself and others that hasn't been documented, that doesn't need to be documented. Because, you know, my checks and balances is with the universe. I leave it up to the universe to create the checks and balances for me. I don't need everything to be documented on film. I don't even get pictures. I went to see Mandalorian. I don't even think we took that picture, because I don't be going to places for that. If y' all knew how much this man been showing up for me in my life. You understand what I'm saying? Like, not only every Sunday, not every time we do a show before, this was a podcast, episodes and interviews that I go to where he. Not even on camera or saying anything, he still show up. I think that the power of showing up for people is an extension of that golden rule. And I think it's important because we see this now with LA Russell, right? He'll be. He's doing. He's probably actively right now performing with his band in the Bay Area. And he announced on the Breakfast Club that he signed the Roc Nation. And automatically, what does everybody do? Ah, you should have stayed independent. Ah, they got him. It's like, we only do this with our black ex. We only do this with our black entertainers. If this man has hustled his way to the super bowl from his garage independently, he created a pay what you will feature and is getting people to send him $11,000, $15,000 for an album. You don't Think this nigga know how to negotiate the terms of a contract that's working to his favor? Like, what are we talking about? What do we be talking about? You do realize, like every contract is not a bad deal. Yeah, there's a lot of good deals out there, a lot of good contracts. It's just that they fucking prey on people who are green and naive to the industry. And because that story is told more often than not, then we look at every contract as a bad deal. If he, first of all, he signed with Rock Nation, it's the same company he called out. Then he sits down with Jay Z. And obviously, well, in our interview, you'll see that he says that Jay wasn't even completely aware of the structure in the business they was presenting to him, which made him have to go look at the business like, well, what are we doing? Because now y' all giving us a bad rep in the street. But also it's like, you know, we supposed to be artists for it. Yeah, and sometimes Roc Nation. I don't. I think a lot of the Roc Nation deals are just management deals where they, they basically utilize their structure to get you the best deals, to distribute your music to the best place. But I don't think these are record deals. No, these are management deals. So we look at somebody and this is the thing that is disingenuous to me, but it's also like, you know, it's just very. It's like you gotta always be mindful of the anti blackness when it creep up. We see this young man hustling. We see this young man have literally created his own world over there. He never left the bank. He's doing all this out his backyard and hitting the road and doing different venues and stuff. He's always so for it with the people. He's always so for it with his working with other artists. He do hella features. He'll show up on your podcast as long as you putting in the work. And we assume that this person is gonna work all this time to get into a fucked up contract. Like now we diminishing the genius and the intelligence of this young man because of how you view things. You don't know the terms of this nigga contract, bro. But I can guarantee you somebody has been working as hard as he's been working. Didn't work all this way to sign a fucked up deal with a major. It just didn't happen like that. So we have to get to a place where we are respecting the intelligence, respecting the mind and respecting the integrity. Of these artists that are coming forth and building worlds independently. But understanding like, yeah, building shit independently is very expensive. You gotta pay for the production. You gotta pay for everything. I done did it. All of our first shows was independent. You gotta. If there's chairs that need to be rented, you gotta pay for chairs. We like people to eat when they come to our event. We gotta pay for the eat. We have staff. You gotta pay for the staff, you gotta pay for all the BTs. If there's equipment that's needed that you gotta rent, you gotta pay for that. You got to pay for the venue, you got to pay for merch. All the overhead, all the ins and outs, every little bit of production equipment down to the goddamn seats that people sitting they ass and you got to pay for. So, yeah, it may be better to just know that there's a company out there that's like. Like what we doing right now with the, with the, with the people who's partnering with us on our. On our first cousin's tour. We don't gotta worry about none of that. We gotta make sure these tickets get sold. We still gotta take care of our merch, and we gotta take care of getting ourselves to and from each show. But only thing we worry about is front end and back end. Very simple. That's a big burden off of the independent person. Because Shizlot got them 1099s. Nigga, If y' all knew how many invoices and 1099s I opened up this goddamn week, man, and head would spin. And I ain't. And I'm not doing it at the level that somebody like a little Russell is doing, where he's constantly putting on shows. I can't imagine what his goddamn taxes look like. But I'm just saying, I think that we need to have a little bit more consideration for the intelligence of others. Like, there's this idea that when I. When you get online and you start tweeting that you smarter than the person you talking about. But like he said, you ain't never bought no ticket, you ain't never bought no merch, you ain't never sold up to no show, you ain't buy no album. You don't know what you're talking about. And it's okay not to know what you're talking about. But the assumption is so pessimistic. The assumption is that, oh, he done fucked his career up. No, I'm pretty sure the Russell is smart enough to do something that's gonna enhance his career. Cause he Worked for it. He's not just gonna give it away. A person like that don't just give it away. I can't wait till y' all see, like, the first part of our conversation where we talked about. We talk about that. Creating worlds where every institution and every, like, fire little cultural quip that we had, including something like a rap city. Nigga sold that shit. They sold it all off. And now we, as millennials and elder Gen Z, people are like, left to, like, damn, well, shit, I guess we gotta reinstate these institutions. That's why we got the rap session. We trying to reinstate a rap city type vibe because it don't exist. And yeah, like, n could go do freestyles over beats with just incredible or, you know, go perform this song on the radar, but it doesn't have that cultural currency. It doesn't have that feel to it where it's like, damn. Even when it comes down to people you may not have heard about, you're not being introduced to nobody new. So trusting the independent artists, trusting these black artists to have integrity, trusting these black artists to do what's not only in the best interest for them, but in the best interest of their business and them maintaining their creative control and they not compromised. Everybody not trying to sell they soul. You know what I'm saying? Everybody ain't no cat, man. Some niggas got integrity and some niggas know what to do, what's best for the business. All right, we can take a quick little, brief little break, and then I'll be right back. We back. We back. Yeah, man. So, you know, we live in some interesting times that we do. You know, the world is burning. The world is burning, guys. But it's okay. Listen, the standard should be loud. The standard should be disgusted. The standard should be anger. The standard should be making motherfuckers who acting like what's going on ain't going on make them niggas uncomfortable. We should be talking about this. This is at all times. I seen a video of a dude at the airport and he was screaming like, the Epstein's files have been released. These motherfuckers are sick. They're harming women, they're harming children. And you niggas are just going to work. You got to catch a flight. You're going on like it's business as usual, but it's not business as usual. But the difference is, is like everything. Now, I said what I said last week and I talked about how the human trafficking and sex trafficking and, you know, the rape, the Murder of men, women and children is exactly how the west was built. This is Chattel Slavery 101. But I heard a young lady say on Tick Tock way more succinctly, everything that's happened in the mepscene's files is what's going on on the plantation every day. Boom. Full stop. I was trying to got down. I love it when a person like take my work and package it and bing, here we go. Everything that happened in them Epstein files, what's happening on that plantation every day. And so I don't want to diminish anything, right? Like I looked at some of the comments and people was like, well, the President being racist is still newsworthy. It is. It's not to me. It's just not new. We've been there. This man was racist. I mean his goddamn daddy is clan member slum lord. Very interesting things came out of those Epstein files that I've seen this week. One of the files says, and they refer to us as hip hop Blacks. They say the hip hop blacks are easily distracted by celebrities. I know that a lot of niggas gon watch the super bowl still right now, 2016. We said we was done with it because of the Colin Kaepernick situation. Somebody who kneeled in protest to police brutality and his brothers. The overwhelming black majority of black athletes did not stand with him in solidarity and those that did were quickly blacklisted and not hired again. So Colin wasn't the only person that lost a job because of his protest. But I find it just glaringly evident that people are not willing to give up the bread or the circus. They want to be fed, they want to be entertained. But the normal state of us should be discussed. The things that they're discussing in these files and even though like I said before, these are also things that were happening on the plantation, for them to be happening now and in secret and for us to know that this is not only the way our government operates, but these are crimes that the government covers up to maintain a structure. A structure ran through blackmail operations by the Mossad, by Israel that basically controls our US government in our everyday lives as US citizens while also funding a great quality of life for the residents of Israel. Now they're selling off New Gaza. They got all these futuristic plans after they committed a genocide against hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. The majority of those people being children. So there's no way that we could walk around on a day to day basis and act like this shit is normal. There's no way we can walk around on a day to day basis and still be trustworthy as a politician. There's no way that we could still be looking at what's going on. Seeing the COVID ups, seeing the collusion, seeing how both parties are working side by side to not only achieve a similar goal of power for themselves, control over the US population, But still be talking about midterms. Nigga, we need to be talking about guillotines, firing squads. We don't need to be talking about midterms. We need to be talking about guillotines. Call Carson at, figure out the streaming setup. Snatch a politician and get the guillotines active. Cause you can't vote this away. This is one of the very few times where you won't see me trying to rock the vote. I'm all for rocking the vote. I'm a big encourager. I'm a big advocate for local politics. I love for people to know who their local politicians are. So you could think locally, act globally. Big. Big on that. Not big on big government because I understand there's two wings, one bird is two sides to the same coin. It's two different parties. But. But they having a big party in the middle, big old party. And who knew at that party they will be eating people and raping children and covering it up. What's that? What's that? What's that term? What's that term? Whatever. I can't think of the term. Hold on one second. We see a lot of the Democratic Party operate with this weaponized incompetence. Now, let's not oversimplify what's going on in New York City. What's our. Mom. Donnie. Mom. Donnie. But things that these Democrats have been telling us for years, well, it just can't be done. Well, we have to raise funds. Bridges fixed it, fixed it again. I don't want to oversimplify it, but it's getting done. He's getting done the things that he promised in his campaign. He's getting things done. Things that are in favor for the everyday working class person who actually props up a city like New York. He just passed an executive order today that bans ICE from all public places. They can't go to schools, they can't go to churches, they can't go to private places of business. I mean, I think they can, but they can't go to anything that's publicly run, that's funded by public money, funded by taxpaying dollars. They can't be there now, I would say abolish them from the entire city. But, you know, we gotta work these things up. He's at least starting somewhere where niggas can't just go to the school and snatch up babies. Niggas can't go to the courthouse and snatch you out. What they need to be doing is putting the fucking police on there. The law enforcement, the actual people enforce the laws and not these rogue agents of fucking war. Agents of civil war that Trump got roaming the fucking streets all over America. Like, we can't get quiet about that either. Again, ICE doesn't need more funding. ICE doesn't need better training. ICE needs the guillotines. I'm sorry that it had to come to this, because this is what I've been thinking from day one. But they will kill you. These people are increasing the budgets for people to murder US Citizens. And niggas is in the streets talking about midterms now. Still vote, But I don't think waiting on the vote is getting their attention. But I think a nigga had separating from his body in the public.
E
Yeah.
B
I think seeing niggas in public with politician blood on their body, niggas might start getting the point. Niggas might start putting two and two together because a lot of weaponized incompetence that happens on the left where they just act like they. I can't. We can. We can't do it. I'm sorry, guys. We're trying our best. We can't do it. Zoron been in office for all the 90 days already getting done. You can do it. Shout out to the pre. Shout out to the mayor of Chicago. Shout out to the mayor of Baltimore. Shout out to mayor of Birmingham niggas that niggas that are getting shit done through social programs because they understand that social programs work for the society. And a lot of these big government niggas, they don't need an election. They don't need a campaign. What do they need, big cat?
C
The guillotine.
E
They need the guillotine.
B
Stop playing with these niggas. Get your black ass down to the gun range and learn how to maneuver with a weapon. Grip a motherfucking Glock, lick a motherfucking shot. United States of America. Listen to me right now. If you're not happy with your local politician, they making promises. They're voting to increase the funds on ice. Who's killing US Citizens? Politicians covering up, redacting names from out the Mepperstein files. Protecting child sex traffickers, child predators, human sex traffickers, cannibals and accessories to murder. Their Answer does not lie in your vote. The answer lies in your ability to let go of the rope on the Guillotine, nigga. Heads gotta roll, nigga. I'm sorry, man. I know that niggas might think this is a little extreme.
D
But why murder?
B
Good for them, bad for us? Why? Can anybody answer why? The time to be the bigger person has passed. Ain't no bigger people. Ain't no bigger people. Don't get no bigger than this. You understand what I'm saying, Big Cat?
C
Yeah.
B
So, yes, your vote does matter. Yes, the midterms are going to be crucial. But before those midterms, we need to set a new standard for politicians here in America. And it's not a better campaign. It's not showing up to the church on your campaign. It's not fundraising dollars. It's not promises. What is it, Big Cat?
C
The goddamn Guillotine.
B
The Guillotine. Bring it back. We can stream in 12k now, nigga. I wanna see the nigga's DNA separate from his goddamn body. Sick of the excuses. Sick of the games. Public executions, nigga. Public executions. The vote ain't enough. I got a vote for you. Vote. Guillotine. Vote. Firing squad. Heads will roll, nigga. That's my campaign promise. That's my. I'm running for office. The Guillotine. I ain't even using my government name. I'm using an alias. Guillotine, huh? Sharp Blades. Put these niggas back together by tearing them apart. Restore just politics in America. Because obviously niggas ain't getting it. What they need, Big Cat.
C
The Guillotine.
B
That's what they need. I don't think a campaign promise gonna get it no more. I don't think a picket sign in the front yard gonna get it no more. Huh? How about we put a guillotine in the front yard? It's a lot of. It's a lot of bullshit going on out here. Want the. Want to ride around with the campaign stickers on the side of the trucks and billboards? Nah. How about a. Hold your head in public like this? Hold a By the hair in public. What are you going to do for the US People? What are you going to do for the people? I'm holding your motherfucking head like this in public when I'm asking. Yeah, this is one of your motherfucking colleagues, bitch. It's one of your colleagues. We just. We just chopped his shit off. What are you going to do? And we gonna hold you accountable to these promises. Zoran, up there in New York City making shit happen. Day one, huh? Free childcare day one. You're gonna make your little promises, nigga. But remember, these are the consequences, huh? All right. Every black history. Yeah, for sure. Yes. I didn't really have nothing that was really going on. Yeah. You know, I just wanted to know that we need to get a little bit more serious about what we want out of a politician. They've been lying to people for too long. A lot of times you can't. The politician. The word politician is synonymous with liar. They're synonyms. I need them shits to start becoming antonyms.
C
Oh, imagine waking up saying a guillotine.
B
You free yours.
C
It's us mad guilty to your friend, y'.
B
All. It's your yard. You. You in a. Tightening up your tie. Get ready to lie to. Yeah, you go outside. All your constituents out there guillotine in the front yard. Oh. Tall, white and adjacent Voorhees mask out there ready to put you up under, huh? That's the red, white and the blue I'm looking for. Hey, come here. Come out so fast. Blood still blue.
C
God damn.
B
I mean, you gonna represent the people. You gotta represent the people. I want weapons style situations happening, huh? Chase a politician through the streets. Chase him through the streets. Chase them through the streets, nigga. Chase. Chase a politician through the streets. When you catch them, rip limb from limb and stream it in 4K. Put that on Twitch. W's in the chat.
C
W's in the chat.
B
W's in the motherfucking chat. Everybody put knives in the chat. Cut this head off.
C
Yo. Chase a politician through the streets.
B
Chasing through the streets. Rip from limb from limb. Oh, man. Woman, black, white and alike. I don't give a. If you ain't out here for the people you are covering up. You are protecting these pedophiles so you can try to make this the new normal. This ain't normal and not gonna act like this normal. Everybody should be disgusted. There's like. Like being anti the current government should be the norm. We should look down on citizens who trust these niggas. I think it's very. I think it's a fair assessment to judge for not being hit for the shock and the awe. I'm sick of it. I'm ready for the next level of it. No more shock and awe. Guns and ammo. Guillotine in your motherfucking front yard. You come out, you think this is a good day to lie? Your security already out there? We already took care of them. Yeah. It's earpiece is still attached to these the we ain't separate the ear. His head is separate from the body, but the earpiece is still attached. No more, no more security, no more safety. Then all the y' all want to happen in America, start happening. What you think, Big K? You think a politician might want to keep their promise?
C
You goddamn right.
B
They know they got them heads on the line.
C
Goddamn guillotine in your front yard.
B
What does everybody want? Hey, we'll be right back at this commercial break. We back Speaking of politicians, this Saturday's episode will be with Congresswoman Bree Woodson. Bree Woodson is running for Georgia's 12th district. And we sat down and had a brief conversation with her about her background and the need for more everyday people to run for politics. And not just the legacy politicians whose dad was in politics or they come from money. So politics is more of a power move for their last name than it is to serve a constituent of people. So Bri Woodson is an amazing person. Her background is amazing. She was also like a victim of sex trafficking that escaped that a victim of addiction who has went on to get her studies in psychology, specifically around the psychology of addiction. We talk more about that. I can read. Her campaign says, I'm Bri Woods. I'm running for congress in Georgia's 12th district to make sure every family has a fair shot, whether it's bringing home a paycheck that stretches, keeping a roof overhead, or knowing our kids are safe and supported in their schools. I'm not here to climb a political ladder. I'm here because I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, respects and works side by side with her constituents. So this is Bre Woodson. She is a real person. She is an amazing person. She does great things in her community. She cares about the 12th district of Georgia, where she comes from, and she has a real life that she lived outside of this. And you know, she's like really taking charge in the space of I gotta be the change I want to see. So if anybody gonna run for Congress, I'm gonna be the person that run for Congress. Cause this black woman is really gonna look out for her people. I believe that. And I don't even believe in politicians. What do I believe? Politicians need the guillotine. So shout out to Bri Woodson. She is our guest this Saturday. Tune in 10am Saturday. Bri Woodson now.

B
My oldest is on the spectrum. I'm a special education teacher. It's been really hard dealing with his tantrums. And he's a big ass kid, almost 7 and 100 pounds, but he's super smart. We have these fallouts with emotions like every other night. If you have any tips to share, I'd really appreciate it, fam. Love y' all to life and we love you. And guess where she commented on this from? Guess where she asked this advice from? Where? Patreon, $8. So check me out. Here's the thing. The oldest, my oldest specifically, for whatever reason, this ain't all kids. But the spectrum is enhanced when you got a big ass child. Cause Cohen is big as shit. And clearly on the spectrum. Kyron is diagnosed on the spectrum. The emotional fallouts really, really take off between like 5 and 10. It's a lot of emotional spats that you're gonna get when they toddlers, but when they start school, for whatever reason, they just have a tornado of emotions. So Kyrie used to do that. Kyro still, you know, he still will have these moments where he lacks control over his actions. But these are things you have to deal with head on. Just gotta deal with them head on. First of all, you know, intelligent ass kids understand accent actions have consequences. But also sometimes the impulsive nature of like these emotional outbursts, they just need a buffer and they need somebody to understand with them and not demonize the behavior, but a good talk through, you know, like, let's just say he has an emotional explosion, right? So long as he's not destroying. You know, I, I, I don't, I don't know how to advise everybody else. I know for me, big bear hug. Hey, hey. I got you. I'm here, I'm here. Let's calm down. Let's calm down. Sometimes in an intensified, because they don't like being restricted, but when they get to like getting like they're gonna break some shit, you just gotta break. Big bear hug. Hey. Your emotions are valid. You breaking shit in my house is not okay.
C
Break you son.
B
You know what I'm saying? But oftentimes after they do calm down, they leave so much room for conversation. And this Is also a time where you can ask them, like, what they're feeling. So then we can figure out what the trigger is. And, you know, we can't remove the trigger for life. That's just not. That's not how life works. It would be ideal, but it's just not realistic. But what we can do is address the trigger and figure out how to talk around it. Like, let's have a conversation about this. Why does it bother you? You know, the whys really matter. The whys. But every child is different. And I know that, like, it's not the easiest thing to deal with, but yeah, man, Godspeed to you. These children are fucking bundles of joy and they're precious, but they come with their own complex set of problems and issues. And, you know, not necessarily even just problems. It's just different. And so you gotta take different approaches. I would suggest asking a black professional, because I'm not a professional. I'm just a father of a child on the spectrum. But. Well, I guess that kind of does lend to some expertise. You know, I'm a very present parent. But in their calm when they. When these. When these children are calm, they are so receptive to new information. I would suggest, like, really in depth, long conversations, answering all the questions, but figuring out they want to. They will tell you what the trigger is. When they get to a space like, of calm, they will tell you what the trigger is. Just inquire about those things and everything is gonna be all right. Okay, we got two.
C
Okay.
B
Sleeping with the enemy. Oh, another husky. White people always ruin things.
C
Well, we know that.
B
Let's go.
C
Let's go sleep with the enemy.
B
Let's go sleep with the enemy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Sleeping with the enemy. All right. A big ice cup. Hey, Deontay. First of all, my dad put me onto the show a while ago, and I brushed it off. Shout out to dad.
C
Shout out to dad.
B
Shout out to your motherfucking father. Dad. Duke. Yeah, listen to him. Next time try to kill my father. All right. All right.
C
So let's get to it.
B
My father put me onto the show a while ago, and I brushed it off, But I finally listened a few days ago, and I immediately felt seen. So first, thank you for creating a space where people can be angry, confused, and honest without having to over explain themselves. My name is blank. I'm 23, mixed woman. I'm writing because I feel stuck, drained, and honestly embarrassed that I don't trust my own judgment anymore. My dad says I'm sleeping with the enemy. Straight up calls my partner the devil. And lately, that doesn't feel like an exaggeration. And that's scary. Damn. Gotta start listening to dad. Yeah. Pops knows, but he knows.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
My partner's 22, Mexican. We've known each other about six years. Officially together, almost two. And worked the same corporate job, same position, same managers, different locations, but frequently seen during work meetings and events. For months, I was basically living at his house, sleeping there every night, and it caused serious problems with my family. When I tried to be home more, he got pouty. Or said, you could spend the day there, but I need you with me every night. If I push back, it would all. It always came back to my past. Before we were official, I slept with someone while we were talking. I met up with an ex after he told me we weren't together because he hadn't officially asked me yet. That gets thrown in my face constantly, and it feels like I'm on a permanent probation. Like I owe him access to me to make up for. Well, there's a problem. Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Okay. So he told you that y' all weren't together, which means that you're single and sleeping with somebody while you single. Perfectly fine.
C
What's the issue?
B
Sounds like you're making an autonomous decision.
C
Yeah.
B
Sounds like this brother is controlling. He's also pressured me to move into an apartment with him and has argued that if I didn't, he'd leave me. Oof.
C
Well, let him go.
B
Yeah, it sounds like Pops knows what he's talking about.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Sounds like this nigga is the enemy. Yeah. One argument. One argument over. This got so intense and overwhelming that I completely lost control. I tried to hit him with my car. Oh, shit. I hate admitting that. And it scares me to even type it. Instead of running away or being alarmed, he told me that's what he wanted from me. He said he wanted me to be crazy for him. That moment hasn't left my mind. You have to get away from this.
C
You have to get out of there right now.
B
Yeah. This. Or maybe not, but this person. Yeah. This man is toxic.
C
We got them.
B
Cycle as. Yeah. Yeah. He's a psycho.
C
Yeah.
B
I want you to be crazy for me. He wants you to be out of control.
C
That's what it is.
B
That's what he's saying. I want to be able to be the person that makes you lose control. Because if he can make you lose control, then he can control you. There you go. Recently, I got a puppy. Before I even got her, he argued with Me and told me not to get it because it would change things between us. I thought the puppy would be good for my mental health and honestly, for me, so I got her. Anyway. Since then, he shut me out. Made me feel guilty. Constantly acts like I chose a dog over him. Keeps forcing this choice where it feels like it's either him or my puppy. And anytime I spend less with him because of her gets used against me. Yeah. You don't have to do this.
C
Yeah, get out of there.
B
Hey, let me tell you something. Look. Look right in the camera. You don't have to do this. Mm. Mm. You don't have to take this. This is not love. This is a person that wants to isolate you and control you. This is why he wants you. Oh, you can spend all day with your family, but you need to spend the night with me. He'll pressure you into moving to the apartment. He don't want you to have a companion and a fucking dog. A nigga that's jealous of a dog is just a dog him damn self. Yeah. You got to listen. I know you know, but you got to get up out of there. Yeah. Because the thing is, is that this just progresses. This progresses into violence. And unfortunately, a lot of times that violence progresses into the death of black women and the death of women in general. All the signs are there. This person's trying to isolate you so they can control you. This person wants to control you, and this person wants to be able to push the buttons of your emotions. He wants to be your pain and your healing. This is extremely toxic, and this is not going to end well for you. And it may take you some time to even recover from the type of shit he's doing. You are a grown woman. You should not be made to feel like you are in trouble with another adult. Okay? This not your parent. Snigger's not your dad. This person is trying to make you feel guilty about enjoying life outside of him. He wants to be the source of joy and the source of despair in your life. This person extremely controlling. This is not a good person to be with. This is not somebody who's ready for a relationship. This is somebody who needs a goddamn dog. Something he can tell to go to and fro and win. But this is not a person that's ready to be in a relationship with a grown woman.
C
Not at all.
B
Because you should not be made to feel like you're in trouble for any like, the. Is he talking about crazy? Ever heard punishing you for things like this is crazy. This is crazy. I know you know already, but you gotta act. You gotta get up out of here. I've had dreams of becoming a firefighter and later joining the Air Force. At first he supported me, but the closer I got, the more he threatened to leave me. Yes. Anytime that you are going to do something that is going to take you away from him, out of his presence, and. And amplify and accentuate your lifestyle, add on to the accolades that you're building for yourself, add onto your accomplishments, make you a better person, make you more success, make you more stable, and increase your individual stability where you don't need him. He's going to be threatened by that. He doesn't want that to happen for you. He wants to control you. He wants to put you in a cage and call it love. He said he doesn't want a partner who works long hours or isn't home every night. And he doesn't want kids with somebody who's always gone. It feels like I'm always asked to shrink my entire life so he can feel secure. Exactly. That is exactly what he's doing. Yeah. He constantly dismisses my experience as a black woman. He's called me racist for caring about my race, says he doesn't see color. He introduces me as Trinidadian instead of black. Even though I've explained how important my black identity is to me. He refused to understand that when I walk into a room with locks, I'm seen as a black woman first, no matter how he feels about it. You gotta leave this nigga. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, this sucks. This sucks. And a nigga that doesn't see color. Yeah. Yeah. Unless he's colorblind, that nigga's a racist. Probably. He probably has. He probably has an anti blackness within him as well, because. Yeah, bro, this just. Yeah. No. Hell no. When we were both up for the same promotion and I got it, he cried and told me I shouldn't take it because it belonged to him.
C
What the fuck?
B
Yeah. Yeah. This is where we at. He's told me I don't know how hard work and that he'll probably be fired soon. And that anything I have is because of my upbringing. My dad, my sister and my best friend all think he's jealous of me. And honestly, I don't know what other explanation there is. The worst part is I feel numb. I'm not even angry anymore. I'm indifferent. I feel detached, exhausted, and like I'm staying because it's easier than leaving. Especially since we work together. I feel like I can't fully walk away until I get a new job in some distance. And that makes me feel weak. Am I wrong for believing my dad and emotionally checking out? Or is this what it feels like when you stay too long and your body knows before your brain does? Much love, P. Everybody's right and you're right.
C
Yeah.
B
The body is right.
C
The mind is right.
B
The mind is right. The father is right. The sister, the best friend is right. Yeah. He hates you.
C
The goddamn dog is right.
B
The dog is right. This nigga needs the guillotine. He needs it, but in an emotional sense. Listen, fuck him and that job.
C
Yeah.
B
You could. You. You got promoted. Mm. I go to work and act like I ain't never seen this a day in my life. Just won't pay. And if he speak to you, contact HR and make his dream come true, your father is going to accept you with open arms because he's gonna be just happy that his baby girls away from a monster. Listen, we gotta go. Yeah. All right. We gotta get the ball rolling. We gotta get up out of here. Get up out of there. Yeah.
C
Asap.
B
Please.
C
God damn.
B
For your safety. Yes. For your emotional health, for your mental health. You gotta get away from this sneaker's horrible person. He's terrible. He's a piece of. Thank you. Take you a good year off of relationships. Focus on the things that you want to do. Pursue being a fighter. Fire. Pursue the Air Force. You are still extremely young. This is not the story of your life. This just the story of one relationship. You're gonna learn so much from this, and you're gonna be able to recognize red flags in your future relationships because of this. But you gotta get away from him. Okay? This is not. This is not like, maybe this is imperative that you leave this nigga alone because he's gonna. He's gonna try to fuck you up. Like, psychologically. He doesn't want you to love anything outside of him. He wants to control you. A nigga. You getting a promotion at your job and him not being happy, but telling you it belongs to him is enough. But everything else is even more. This nigga is. Yeah. He is not. He is not boyfriend material. And please don't get pregnant by him.
C
Oh, Lord.
B
But he said he don't want to have kids with her. He wants to convince her to shrink her life before he does. And then. And then I'm telling you what type of nigga he is. Once he gets you pregnant, he not gonna stop.
C
That's it.
B
Every time you look up, you're gonna Be pregnant with another baby Run, sister. Yes. White people always ruin things. The Art Edition. What's up, Deontay and big Ice Cup Cat. I left a voicemail about this, but I have ADHD and was calling off impulse, so y' all cut it because I was all over the place. I understand. I live in LA and. Oh, we. Oh. So, yeah, yeah, okay. I live in la and I recently went to Broad Museum. It's pronounced Broad, apparently, which is a pop art museum. And the only art with any real meaning or worth behind it was that of the black artist such as Jean Michel Basquiat. Brother, man, this semi confirmed. I believe that pop art, like the works of Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons, is only in existence to prop up white mediocrity in art spaces. I would love you guys thoughts on this. P.S. i'm thanking y' all for allowing me to put down the coon cannon by announcing that tour would eventually come to la. I don't want to show more examples of what the cannon could do. I hope the Michigan hair coach and the huskies in the Vice segment will be enough. And that Patreon ain't nothing but $8. So come on, y'. All. Yeah, shout out to the cousin, man. Shout out to my cousin with The Coon Cannon. $8, $8. Coon Cannon. Don't get shot down. Yeah, I mean, you know, art, film, music that we covered today. I will say this. I don't consider Nirvana to be a mediocre grunge group, but I will say that they were definitely propped up in place of Tina Bell and Bam Bam. So mediocrity, white mediocrity is always gonna be pushed to the forefront. Andy Warhol is a shit artist and a shit person. Yeah. At all our shows, I'd be like, on the count of three, say, fuck Andy Warhol. I be doing that shit all the time because I don't fuck with that nigga. Because what he did was not art. You know what I'm saying? What he did was just white nigga shit. Just. Are we gonna steal artists? We're gonna utilize the youth and the. The cultural relevance of this black artist to prop up me while I put out more bullshit. Just is what it is. Jeff Koons. I don't know, maybe I'm tweaking, but I kind of like Jeff Koons.
C
Kind of like Jeff Koons.
B
It's such a funny name, though. Yeah. I mean, I think the Blow Up. I think the Blow up doll as a sculpture is just kind of fire. I think it's fire. I wouldn't call Jeff Koons mediocre. I like his shit. I like. It's just me, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, he made the balloon dog as a sculpture like that shit hard. It's hard. But white mediocrity is a very relevant and prevalent thing. And, you know, so long as we don't document and push our narratives to the forefront, white mediocrity will all be pushed. I think black people, especially now, in a time like now, we have to be loud about mediocrity. That is mid. Okay, nigga, that sucks. Yeah, fuck that. Because oftentimes we're gonna give the credibility to the cool, you know what I mean? Back in the 90s, late 80s, early 90s, they had a little bit more control over the narratives. We got control now. Give us, us free shout out to everybody. That's enough for the day. Short and sweet on this episode. Yeah, just tight. 90 minutes. 90 minutes. Well, average. Well, I think that's.
C
That's average.
B
Yeah, that's pretty average. Just remember this today, if you're in politics and you walk out tomorrow morning, Monday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday morning, you dress to the nines, it's going to be a good day to lie. A lot of empty promises going to be made today. Just remember, any day now, you could be walking outside and in that front yard, it's going to be a structure. What's the name of the structure, BK the guillotine. It's going to be a guillotine in your front yard. The jail hasn't even sat on your hair yet, but the tie is tight. And we're gonna separate them hose. Guillotine, huh? Separate the head from the body. Donald Trump is obviously not doing so well medically, not doing so well mentally. Should not be a president. Should have never been elected. You care more about race being racist than you care about having a healthy democracy. You niggas care more about being racist than you care about having a good quality of life. You niggas don't want social programs because you don't want black people to have them. So you would rather suffer than just to see a black person get health care. But the entire state of Israel has used blackmail intelligence to control your government, all while living an abundant socialist lifestyle, communist lifestyle over there in Israel when don't gotta pay for healthcare or education. And they could just walk up to a person of color's house and say, this is my house now. It's a settler state, a seller state with advanced intelligence, spies Such as Jeffrey Epstein was compromised. A multitude of celebrities, politicians, CEOs. The even had Stephen King on this island. Stephen King of the hanger. Yes, I would like some pussy.
C
Stephen Hawkins. That's Stephen Hawkins, son.
B
My bad for putting that on you. Stephen King.
C
Stephen Kings.
B
I mean, he might be guilty there. He might be a weird. He might be there too. Weird.
C
Yeah, he might be there.
B
I'm gonna. I ain't gonna lie. I think Stephen King just sick as on his own.
C
Yeah, he just.
B
He's just writing.
C
Yeah, he just writes.
B
He's just writing books. Yeah.
C
Cabin in the Woods.
B
Yeah, he don't need cp. Yeah. Oh, man. There was a. There was a neo Nazi teenager that was found. He was planning to. He was planning a massacre on a church, more than likely a black church. And he was caught with photographs of children being sexually abused. The whites are sick. Let's go look at the whites and look at their history and just hold them all to account for it. Okay? From now on, when I see a white man, I'm gonna assume two things. This nigga likes children. Snigger's a human trafficker. You assume I'm a thug, you can call me a monkey. I'd rather be a thugged out monkey than a pedophile and a human trafficker. Let's just weigh these things out. Just weigh them out. Donald Trump being a racist is newsworthy, but it's not a newsworthy enough distraction to distract us from the fact that this nigga is a pedophile, child and human sex trafficker, an accessory to murder, and outright threatened children with murder if they were to say anything. He shits on himself, he's convicted. Convicted 34 times of felony counts. Sneakers. Piece of shit, terrible person. Okay, racist is just another attribute, baseline attribute for most white men. Racist. And the few white men that aren't racist aren't enough. So midterms are coming up and everybody wants to talk about increasing budgets for ice. ICE needs more training, Big Cat. What does ICE need?
C
The guillotine.
B
Before you start going on your motherfucking campaign, where your promises and your lies and your bullshit and your fake activism and you're fake out here helping feed the homeless and you're fake out here talking to the public in a church. And everything you do in your life is just fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. All lies all the time. You're weaponized incompetence. You're acting like you can't get shit done. Understand this. It ain't about a vote no more. Get elected. You cover up for corrupt politicians, you cover up and protect child sex traffickers, human traffickers, accessories to murder, and pedophiles and cannibals. You cover that up, you protect that. You don't gotta worry about the vote no more. What do they gotta worry about, Big Cat?
C
The goddamn guillotine.
B
From now on, we not gonna rock the boat. We not gonna rock the vote. We're gonna chop your head off your shoulders. You know what I'm saying? It's just hip hop. It's just. You know what I'm saying? It's just my. It's just raps, man. Turn me up, man. It's just rap. I just wanna rap, man. I just want to rap. Hey, man. Yeah.
E
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 teas get printed to me unless impeded. Matter of fact, that got me thinking back when Mr. Love was tending to his garden, schooling me to annuity before he grabbed his clubs to go golfing. And it's no coincidence that doe still had the caddy back when woods were still the best. Don't let me roll off course here, Georgie. Pops was dropping jams while I was lighting cigs. But you know, I too was listening with both ears. You see, that's the best that I can do. Wisdom is the application of nothing, knowledge. I was picking up what he was putting down, just wasn't applying it. I ain't denying it. Nah, maybe I was too busy trying to find the balance between religion and science. Trying to get to the bottom of everything while being the highest. Like a pilot's roots. Am I right, brother? Cause I was simultaneously relaying it through reason and rhyming that I had sought for us dissecting systems responsible for our imprisonment. The visionary with astigmatism and scar cording us. If love is blind, then what am I? You can't fight fate.
D
That's why.
B
Big Cat.
C
Yo, yo.
B
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. Oh, no, but I already booked me a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. How'd you do that? Zocdoc.com Ow.

Host: Deante’ Kyle
Co-host(s): Big Ice Cup Cat, others
Date: February 10, 2026
Main Theme:
Deante’ Kyle, joined by his crew, brings a raw, unfiltered, and humorous energy to a wide-ranging conversation about Black musical pioneers, current social and political events, viral moments, community support, and the urgent need for radical accountability from America’s politicians—culminating in a controversial and recurring motif: "the guillotine" as a metaphor (or not) for holding leaders accountable. The episode spotlights unsung Black innovators, critiques exploitation and racism in culture and politics, and leans deeply into both social commentary and entertaining advice segments.
Black History Month Spotlight: Deante’ pays homage to Black musicians who founded genres but were often erased or sidelined:
"That boy Elvis was stealing from, man stole everything… His dance moves was Chuck Berry.” (07:06)
“These three brothers… were in that garage cooking some shit up. They cooked up what is known today as punk rock music.” (10:31)
“Black people created every fucking popular genre of American music, bruh.” (13:33)
“There’s no rock and roll without a black woman. Yeah. So shout out to…I wanna spotlight pioneers of entire genres of music.” — Deante’, (06:44–06:55)
Documentaries for further viewing: Links promised for Death (punk) and techno origins. (13:33)
Discussion of new J. Cole album “The Fall Off”: Praising its quality and criticizing instant hot takes in hip-hop culture.
First-Look vs. Deep Engagement:
“We’re diminishing the quality of hip-hop by…then we judge it by Friday afternoon: ‘this is trash, this is it.’” (20:28)
On quick criticism:
“Everybody just wants to be first. Nobody cares about being accurate… the integrity of journalism.” (21:42)
“That nigga Channing Crowder say this…‘For $100 million, you can have my soul.’ Hmm. The crowd goes silent.” — Deante’ (25:15)
Reflection: “There is no price to be put on the soul. Right? But there is a lot of people who want fame, fortune and validation more than they want eternal life…” (27:04)
Riffing on Cat Man as a populist/clip source, and on Shannon Sharpe’s now-infamous ‘$50 million I’ll go to hell’ comment.
“Life will hand you consequences in silence. There’s some people out here who are dealing with the consequences of actions they probably done forgot about.” (31:48)
“If this man has hustled his way to the Super Bowl from his garage independently… you don’t think this nigga know how to negotiate the terms of a contract that’s working to his favor?” (35:00)
Release of Epstein files and the public’s muted reaction:
“Everything that happened in them Epstein files, what’s happening on that plantation every day.” (46:00–47:00)
Redefining accountability:
“A structure ran through blackmail operations by the Mossad, by Israel that basically controls our U.S. government...” (49:55)
Extreme frustration with “weaponized incompetence” among politicians (esp. Democrats):
“ICE doesn’t need more funding… They need the guillotines.” (52:43)
Recurring Call/Metaphor:
Satirical and literal edge: “Chase a politician through the streets. Rip limb from limb and stream it in 4K. Put that on Twitch. W's in the chat.” (59:20)
“You don’t have to take this. This is not love. … This progresses into violence. ...You are a grown woman. You should not be made to feel like you are in trouble with another adult. ..." (78:13–79:56) “For your safety, your emotional health, your mental health, you gotta get away from this ‘nigga’—he’s a piece of shit.” (83:24)
“Any day now, you could be walking outside and in that front yard, it’s going to be a structure...the guillotine.” (88:13)
“Black people created every fucking popular genre of American music, bruh.” (13:33)
“Everybody just want to be first. Nobody cares about being accurate.” (21:42)
“For $100 million, you can have my soul.” — Channing Crowder on Pivot Podcast (25:15)
“This is not love. This is a person that wants to isolate you and control you... a nigga that’s jealous of a dog is just a dog him damn self.” (78:13)
“We need to be talking about guillotines, firing squads. We don’t need to be talking about midterms.” (50:45)
“The guillotine!” (Repeated throughout, e.g. 54:57, 58:24, 94:54)
Deante’ and crew keep it raw, witty, often profane, and full of lethal humor. They blend authentic vulnerability, sharp historical knowledge, righteous anger, and streetwise perspective—always with a flair for turning Black pain, genius, and resilience into compelling, urgent radio.
If you only take one thing away:
“Any day now, you could be walking outside and in that front yard, it’s going to be a structure... the guillotine.” (88:13)
