Deontay
No slim thugs around here. You gonna eat. You go about your business.
Big Ice Cup Cat
About your business.
Deontay
You choose to stay, that's on you. It's got to be a choice.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Got to be a choice.
Deontay
It's got to be consensual. It's a lot of uproar right now. I, I want to talk about this and I want to provide just a wee bit of nuance to this situation. So you've seen the Polo Oak Bluffs collection?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Deontay
Kind of highlighting like old black money, black wealth, Jack and Jills of the world. And I don't think the conversation is being had in the right way, which it never is. It's always a us versus them mentality. It's always, you know, poor people. We make shit lit in the hood and that translates to some type of national influence. We could say this about young DRO with polo, but young dro, there's levels to that polo shit, all right? And there always has been. The hood didn't get Ralph Lauren popping. He was popping already.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, he was already popping.
Deontay
He's been popping since the 80s. There was a whole movement in New York, the low life movement of niggas boosting polo.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And like rocking it on the streets. The thing is, is like we, you know, we discovered something that may have been out of our price range or tax bracket at the time. And we got it lit and we made it a thing amongst our community that was already a thing amongst other communities. And I think that we need to have the conversation about this right now. We can't keep having this conversation about, oh, I didn't grow up in the hood, so, you know. Or you would call me white if I articulate my words properly and all these things. But now they're Polo and Oak Bluffs. Wooty woo woo. Something that's always been in our circles, in our tax bracket, and it has been. Polo is a very like upper crust social circle thing. Right. Because it's technically boating and golf clothes. Niggas in the hood ain't boating or golfing.
Big Ice Cup Cat
No.
Deontay
You dig what I'm saying? So we wear it strictly for fashion and they have worn it for its intended purpose. But Ralph Lauren has always had these collaborations and you know, very tasteful guy as far as we can see. But they didn't need the hood to get popping. But they did get popping in the hood. And that did lend to some sort of like visibility within our community. But I think here's the thing. This doesn't need to continue to be like a line split between class, you know what I'm saying? We can't keep calling people out for not having to grow up in survival mode when we did. Those are symptoms of greater issues. Right. Because there would be a lot more of us in the Oak Bluffs, in the Martha's Vineyards, in the Jack and Jills had our communities not been destroyed.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Facts.
Deontay
So we have to understand we wouldn't have been, they wouldn't have been able to affect us with the war on drugs had they not destroyed our neighborhoods first. And of course there's always gonna be exceptions to every rule. So the people, the Oak Bluffs blacks is how they like viewing it. But the black people who have been and have had access to wealth and networking and connections and been a part of that top 1% financially, especially amongst the black community here in America, where you can probably directly tie their lineage back to some of these prominent black spaces in these black neighborhoods, you can also tie them to the D9, you know what I mean? And honestly, as much as I got damn criticize these folks just on the strength of this better than mentality, I would like to encourage everybody to just have some open arms for one another because I'm pretty sure that the people that are in those they created Jack and Jill because they understood that they're not gonna be able to assimilate to whiteness especially in the time being, they're not gonna be accepted and they was gonna be subjected to an extreme amount of racism. So with their money they created organizations for themselves. But there is an attitude, there is a mentality towards people who aren't so privileged and didn't get to grow up and go into those programs or, or into those social settings. And that attitude is carried out both ways. There's a black card revocation that go on in lower income communities where if you ain't grow up over here, then you not truly black enough. And then there's a looking down upon about people that didn't grow up with a certain level of like, what am I trying to say? Prosperity didn't grow up as prosperous and things like that. There needs to be a conversation to understand that like we're not against each other and we shouldn't be against each other. As a matter of fact, as people come up and as we get further and further away from the war on drugs, there are going to be a lot more people that have grown up in poverty but are ascending class. And they're gonna run into these people that have old money and they always had money, and they should be welcomed in with open arms. And if there is anything that could be done, it can be an exchange of traits, so to speak. Like, I shouldn't have to fully assimilate into whatever it is that you grew up on. And you're definitely not gonna assimilate to what I grew up on. But there can be some exchange of culture and experience that can strengthen both, you know what I'm saying? Because naturally, the person, somebody like a Jay Z is not gonna have the same experience as Blue Ivy, but he's putting her in position to have a different experience. When we was at the Tyler show, we seen Willow Smith in there, right? And she doesn't have the same experience that Jada and Will had and nor were her kids. But she's fast tracked into like these rooms and these networks where she's gonna have access to certain things. I don't think that. And I think that the Smith kids are like a great example of like publicly what black kids look like when they don't grow up in survival mode. Yeah, we call them niggas weird. We call them all these different things, but they have different experiences, right? But they're still black. We can't, we can't get to this place where like we'll say blackness is not a monolith, but then also like ostracize black people if they don't grow up in the struggle. The struggle is the thing that connected us. A lot of us. That struggle was not self imposed. It wasn't our idea to flood our neighborhoods with crack. It also wasn't our idea to burn down all of our prominent black neighborhoods. A lot more of us would be experiencing the D9, the jack and Jill, the Oak Bluff experience, had they not destroyed our communities. So I think that we need to stop looking at a way to like every situation that happens, we try to find a way to be divisive about it amongst one another. Are we not all black just because we don't all have the same experience? We're still all black and we don't have the same present experience. But rewind, rewind. Just go back 150 years. Ain't no, ain't no Oak Bluff blacks Then it's just all niggas. A lot of decisions were made. A lot of things happened since then. Since the abolishment of slavery and black people went all over this country. Great migration. We've all had different experiences. We all speak in different accents. And poverty is a very. Like, poverty is a glue, you know what I'm saying? Because we all digest the same products here. So the thing that's cheap here is cheap in California. The TV that we watch here, they're watching in California. We're going to have some same. We're going to have some cultural overlaps, we're gonna have some dietary overlaps, we're gonna have some religious overlaps that all aid in our experience as black people. That doesn't mean that that's the only experience. Even if it's the more common one. It's not the only one. And we can't box black people in like that. Now, me personally, I just don't have any. Like, I don't have a dog in a fight. I think it's beautiful to highlight black wealth and these families that have traditions of like, maintain money. And I know what our stances is on capitalism and black capitalism, things like that, but it's still beautiful. The people in the ads were beautiful. The way that they live their lives is beautiful. And I think that given the opportunity, all of us would aspire to put our kids in positions where they can live a life of like, opulence and networking and connections and having a faster track to success through not only like, wealth but nepotism and things like that. I mean, that is the goal. You don't want your kids to work as hard as you did. If my child comes up and he wants to be in media, I would hope that I've built enough connections to be able to put him in a position where he's successful in media. And if he fails, it's on his own accord, but it's not out of a lack of access. And I think that that's all that is. That just shows that this is generational access to wealth, to connections, not only in finance, but in education. And, you know, it's not a better than thing, right? It's okay. Because when we celebrate the hood, nobody, you know, I would hope that nobody sits back and be like, well, why they celebrating them? And I'm sure people do, but when they're celebrating Old Bluffs, we shouldn't be like, well, why they celebrating them? Just let them have a moment. You know what I'm saying? It's important for us to see every side of us in this country and that. That black money is a often quiet, quiet sector of our community. It's very quiet. It's not something that's showcased. Black luxury is not showcased in this country because they don't really want you to know it exists. And I think the thing is, it's all a part of the experience. And if we don't want to be a monolith, then we have to stop rejecting things when they aren't monolithic. So shout out to all the people involved. I mean, it looked amazing. It looked very good. I fuck with it. If you're not familiar with, like, you know, Polo and, you know, the purple labels and all these different things that he has, you can go look at HR Clothiers. You remember that the HR Renee, they had that shit on. We was having that shit on when they sent it to us. You know what I'm saying? But they sell similar things that are like, a little bit more like dandy, you know, black dandyism, prep type vibes. A lot of HBCU influence. Is HR clothiers or. Yeah, I think it's clothiers. I'll tag. We'll tag them, whatever. But it leads me into this idea about impact versus influence. And what is the influence that the black community often has on pop culture? When we talk about somebody like Young dro, do we consider that impact or does it consider influence now, in that case, where we're still talking about it 20 years later? It's definitely just impactful. It may be influential at the time, but a lot of people have a lot of influence that have no impact whatsoever. And then we have people that come along, they have such an impact that naturally creates an influence. I think what we're doing over here is less influence and more impact. Right. And. And maybe by proxy that it influences different things like, you know, research and, you know, nuance and critical thinking and just shifting the perspective. But Ralph. Ralph Lauren is a place of impact. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, his brand has been impactful and of course it has an influence. But some people solely have influence. And I was watching this movie, the Opus movie. It's made by a 24 and shit. And basically it's just about this musician who had like, all of this. Like he was supposedly just up there with Michael Jackson, you know, as a fictional character, whatever. I don't know what events they based that off of. I would probably have to do some more research. I just watched it and thought about it, but they brought all these different people, people they brought people from. They brought this influencer, they brought these journalists, and then they brought these paparazzi people and then they bought like some old, you know, like musicians that were connected to him at this time. Whole time he got like this compound out there in Utah and n live like four miles away from, four hours away from like the main road.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Jesus Christ.
Deontay
Crazy, crazy, crazy. So, yeah, and the thing, the interesting thing to me was like, when they got there, they took the phones and the influencer was like lost. You could tell she didn't know what to do even when it came to like, it took her a few days to even get acclimated to like interacting with people in a real way because her whole life is like on her phone. And I think about that in conjunction to like how we operate with people today, where you meet somebody who has such a, like, bubbly personality and they're so like upbeat and you know, they appear to be extremely cool and such a vibe online. And then you meet them in person and they're extremely standoffish and like kind of like reclusive and things like that. And one could say that it's like stuck up, right? Like they're, they're, they, they full of themselves or anything like that. But I think the reality is we don't realize like all of their interaction is happening through these phones. And maybe they don't know how to act when they're in person with people.
Big Ice Cup Cat
No, that's true.
Deontay
And furthermore, maybe they've always struggled with interacting with people in person, interpersonally and didn't really find theyself until they had some type of influence online.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And so I just think about this a lot. Like when you get enough and you on your phones, do you want to leave an impact or do you just want to influence? And oftentimes the influence is always going to be towards consumption and kind of furthering the agenda of these ad agencies and these advertisers and this capitalistic society, like, has relied on influence for a long time from celebrities. This is where we get. Now you remember these shows that we used to watch.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Talking about growing up?
Deontay
MTV Cribs.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Being. Being out there and seeing like, not only like how expensive those homes are, but like where they are and how they're like constructed. They're constructed to only have enough for the person that owns it.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Ain't no street parking. There ain't no. It's only enough for me. I spent $3 million to live up here and there's only enough for me.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's it.
Deontay
If I don't have. If you don't have a garage or if you don't have a driveway, which is very rare up there. Nobody has driveways. The only house that we really seen with driveways were the ones that were literally on cliffs. Yeah, you did what I'm saying, it got me thinking. Like, you know, just certain conversations we was having with certain people and they was like, oh, well, if you sign with this agency, this, you know, they probably own the house out there. So when you come out here, they just put you in that house. Oh, yeah. Okay. So that's all MTV Cribs is.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's it.
Deontay
Just a nigga showing off somebody else house. Yeah, they had somebody come in and decorate it. And they're selling you, Selling you a dream. Selling you a dream. Selling you the lifestyle of the rich and famous. But the famous aren't always rich.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Look at Redman.
Deontay
Okay, Red kept it real. Red kept it real.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And probably had one of the most memorable episodes, the best one. I don't remember any of the other episodes, to be quite honest.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's it.
Deontay
Only the Red man episode and the JD episode.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Oh, yeah, JD's.
Deontay
Cause he was on that Big Dog show.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, that's JD's. Yeah, you know, that's JD.
Deontay
Yeah, he. Nah, he was.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's him. Yeah, that's him. He's him.
Deontay
He's getting it in.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's jd.
Deontay
But I think the thing is, this is like the impact that that will have on you. What is the impact of it? The influences to the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Right. And even the people that were presenting these lifestyles weren't living them. But the impact that it has is to get the lower 99 cent something to strive towards. We used to watch shows about, like, these wealthy people and how they would spend all this money on yachts and shit like that. Shit like that used to come off VH1. Oh, did they even have one about Jeffrey Epstein? They did, yeah. Epstein went and bought a house. He was. Well, he was a school teacher or something like that.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, something like that.
Deontay
He just couldn't stay out the classroom, so he went and bought his own school and renovated it. Nigga spent $20 million on a New York City school and another $10 million renovating it. Like, bruh, that's how them niggas used to talk. That's how you used to talk. Yeah, we was like, oh, shit. N spent 30 M's. Yeah, at least that money but we 12 years out watching this shit.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And then you think about this. It's like we used to enjoy watching niggas like just throw money in our face.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, There was a certain mystique about it too.
Deontay
It was a mystique.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And we didn't really know who these people were. Like we didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was. I'm just like, you know they had that show today, it was like Russian oligarch.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Hey, yo, yo, who said, what's the name, sir?
Deontay
I don't know.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Say it again, say it again.
Deontay
Just give me a weird Russian name. Give me like a weird, give me like a weird Russian name. Like Vladimir. No, don't, don't say the P1, don't say the picture. Like Russian oligarch Vladimir. Yes. He's killed millions of children, but he also owns 1 million homes in America. It's like God damn how you own a million homes in America.
Big Ice Cup Cat
I get that.
Deontay
Yeah, I get that. Signed off on that CEO of BlackRock. I just hit you with one of them. This is not like they was like hiding that shit. Like we know what real money was in the early 2000s. We only knew what celebrities were.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
And celebrities were influencers for real money. But the impact that niggas have with real money is like poisoning your water supply.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Like real impact, real impact. Like and, and, and they up trillions. CEO of Dupont just see you through.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Punt is crazy.
Deontay
After killing, after killing 2500 in a small West Virginian town, now owns his own island. 220 million dollar yacht with a full 24 hour service line. Like, bro, what the are they talking about?
Big Ice Cup Cat
He's got too much money.
Deontay
They got so much money they just throw the killing in.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Deontay
After killing 2,500 children, it's like, what the fuck, what the fuck that got to do? What you mean he spent 220 million on a yacht? Niggas, forget all about the dead kid.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's real influence. Real impact, man.
Deontay
That's impact, bruh. That's impact. It's like the influences to get you away from it. But my thing is we wanna have an impact over influence. I don't want to influence, nigga, all the, the only thing I want you to buy maybe some of their merch. Definitely get on that Patreon. $8, you know what I'm saying? I ain't going to get on here hugging products and shit like that. You know these people that we know, these are black owned companies that we actually support. Like I actually drink this coffee, you know what I'm saying? We actually fire up these candles. You dig what I'm saying? Like we going to the Atlantic Comic Con. Like that's the thing. Understand like when we do have some sponsors and shit like that, we try and get some money too.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Shit, try to get some M's too.
Deontay
Try to get some money too. But I think the thing is you have to be very particular, meticulous. Nigga been doing this shit for three plus years now with no sponsors and no brand deals, no knitting. Like everything we did, we got out the muscle. So when them things come, just understand like, nigga been waiting it out. Nigga done said a note a hundred thousand times. I done said no to damn near everybody shit. So when we do just now we trying to get a little money, a little money, but ain't no, you know. Remember, the impact is always going to come first. The influence is secondary. When we think about these things like this though, you know, three these things, these three things are tied in these next three topics. When I say that black people would be experiencing a more opulent lifestyle had it not been for these people coming and destroying our neighborhoods. Then we got white people in Arkansas creating an all white town just in.
Big Ice Cup Cat
The middle of the woods.
Deontay
In the middle of the woods. No Jews, no niggers, no gays, no Mexicans, Just straight white folks. As God would have had it intended. Just a God's and God's country. Yeah, with God's people. All right. I, you know, actually have at it. Do you think when this fails, these people should be executed?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Oh, you think so?
Deontay
This is no different from, than seceding from society, right? Like, because it's not that we want to build a town for our white people. It's specific that we don't want anybody else that operates in this society here. This is a secession, right? We want to secede from society and create something that is for our own ideology. When how many fucking all white towns are there already in our cons, right? You feel me? How many sundown towns are there already in Arkansas? But these niggas are under the influence of MAGA and they think that people are coming to take the country from them. First of all, nigga, it ain't your country. You ain't rich, you poor. You're poor and white. So good. Go, go, go, go go. Get your doomsday on. Create your own white town. Execution was.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Execution was a little far.
Deontay
That was crazy. Yeah, I'm thinking about it now.
Big Ice Cup Cat
God damn, son.
Deontay
Nah, this got me thinking about like every time we did this, they came and destroyed it.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Nah, that's right.
Deontay
I will say this. I don't think they should be allowed back into society. Go. Go down with your ship. We shouldn't be buying their goods. We shouldn't be buying any of their services. Anything that they're gonna do to try to like create money. Because they're racist and they're racist. They're racial extremists. They're white supremacists. And they want to create their own town. And we're giving that national news. For what? Jubilee platforming fascists. For what? Sydney Sweeney with American Eagle doing Nazi propaganda. For what? And it's all layered. All of these things are connected. The same person that would live in that all white town would also be on Jubilee. Saying they're a fascist is also probably one of the biggest incels that lust after Sydney Sweeney. Cause she's a blonde, she's blond hair, blue eyed. And what is she saying? Genes determine so many traits. Hair color, eye color, bone structure. It's propaganda. It's Nazi propaganda from a company called American Eagle. So for one, I don't know. Do black people wear American Eagle?
Big Ice Cup Cat
You know, we used to back in the.
Deontay
To never wear it again. If I see you in an American Eagle, I'm gonna assume you're a Nazi. The best thing about Jubilee platforming all these fascists is that we can see them. Right? Because that's the type of racism I like.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Just in your face.
Deontay
Yeah, Just go ahead and say how you feel, man. Don't hide behind it. Don't hide behind all these euphemisms and all these excuses. Just come flat out and say I'm a fascist. I respect that way more. Come flat out and say I'm a racist and I don't want no niggas in my town instead of dancing around it. Nigga, why do I, why, why am I watching. Why am I watching videos of Donald Trump and AI video with Obama getting arrested and then the next headline is about this nigga's ankles. Just open the Epstein files. Yeah, you, you, you got mad pictures with him. I, I don't, I don't, I don't have no concerns about your health. That don't matter. What's in those files?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah. Did you hear what her name. Azalea Banks. What her name is?
Deontay
Yeah, Azalea Banks.
Big Ice Cup Cat
She said she, she's not surpri. She's happy that Donald Trump got some 15 year old or some shit. Like she said.
Tyler
Crazy.
Deontay
We have to stop listening Crazy.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It's crazy.
Deontay
You know when they say a broken clock is right twice a day? Sometimes we gotta throw the clock away.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Cause why you keeping a broken clock? Whole point of a clock is to tell time. If it don't tell time, it's useless. It's useless. Throw that shit away. Who gives a fuck? Azalea Banks say anything to stay relevant.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Just. She's one of those people that just like JPEG Mafia. Just like let the music speak for itself. Well, you know why the music can't speak for itself? Because it sucks ass. Okay? It's cheats. And the only thing keeping you relevant is incel. Rage bait. That's JPEG Mafia. All day. Incel. Scaring the hoes. Scaring them hoes. Shut up. Same thing in Brazilia. Banks. Just like you got roasted on Wild N Out and cried about it.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Didn't Russell Crowe spit in her face or some shit like that?
Big Ice Cup Cat
What?
Deontay
That's what she said.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Damn.
Deontay
See what I'm saying, son? Just get a little wicked over there.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Not Russell Crowe.
Deontay
Russell Crowe.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
The Gladiator.
Big Ice Cup Cat
The Australian.
Deontay
Yeah. Got my face, nigger.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Aborigine. They just hit you. All right. Big ice cup.
Deontay
Aborigine is crazy while I work. But we need in some form or fashion, right? This is the thing we do a lot of like outrage and complaining and. And Jubilee this, Jubilee that. Like, bruh, you should actually understand. Like they're putting faces and names on these people. It's 20 people versus this dude. And all of them are racist and fascist. That's 20 people that you have the name and face to. Those motherfuckers should be on wanted posters. Like something like it. Not wanted, but like, bruh. Believe these people when they tell you what they believe.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Sydney Sweeney came up off her tits. Real shit. Like her titties is the reason she's famous. Because early in her career she was willing to show em a lot of tits. A lot of tits. Great boobs. Nice racist tits right there.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Great knockers.
Deontay
Great American tits right there. Would have got hung for them titties.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Got hung for the hooters.
Deontay
Yeah. A lot of would. Sydney Swing would have been racking up in the 1940s. But it's intel. Like the. The incels are the people that look at her as the prototypical woman. Right. I just watched a movie with her. It was a pretty good movie. She was a. A heroin addict. She played a great heroin addict. All of these things are connected and they're all happening at once. Because the reality Is this, this country is nothing. Okay, I'm gonna say this. You could take 75% of the white people that live in this country are way tomorrow and you wouldn't miss anything because they don't contribute anything but hatred. We can keep like the lawyers and CEOs and, and probably not keep them, to be honest, a big part of the problem. Big parts of the problem. If you take away the population of black and people of color, this country is shit. And it will eat itself in a matter of 50 years because they would. Because white people love war. So think about what it would be. Think about what the lines would be drawn, right, if there's no people of color to fight and point the finger to, they're gonna start pointing the finger at each other because all they wanna do is kill. And it would be a civil war. Like I'm telling you tomorrow, if all the black people and all the people of color left this country and went back to their country, as they always say, even though this is our country, if we left and went back, they would just do what they did when they got here, fight amongst each other, you know what I'm saying? Niggas came over here to a new land and still had civil war, still had Boston Tea Party, still like they, they look, they can't help but to kill, they have to. They have to have war. And within probably five to ten years of us being gone, you would, they, you would think they would have a utopia. But they need war. And it would just be a civil war. Civil war between right and left or whatever the case might be. They'll find something new to fight about, you know what I'm saying? Who's really white and who's not and all this, you know, they'll find, they'll figure something out. Yeah, they always will find something. It'll probably be a war between blonde, blonde and brown hair. Blondes and brunettes probably. Yeah. Who got brown eyes? Who got blue eyes? They'll find something to discriminate against because they truly can't desire peace because they are descendants of criminals. Australia and America is like the two countries where like, the origin of it is overwhelmingly, like, originated by criminals. The British just gave us their worst. They don't like, damn, they can't be here. Send them niggas somewhere. There's new world out there, go find it and just go settle there type shit. But as these things get increasingly more like, frequent with this Nazi propaganda and people coming out as fascists and all these all white, these white towns popping up and things like that, because this is just the beginning of that. We should take note of this as a country. And those people should be left out of the country because they don't want to be here. You know what I'm saying? But they don't have nowhere to go back to, quote, unquote, like this. To them, this is it. Just like they want people to go back to their country when this is their country. So it's like. But those people should be, like, ostracized and exiled because if we did that with the Confederacy, we wouldn't be in this problem today. I feel like every person that was a warrior of the Confederate army, upon them losing, they should have just got rid of them. They should have executed all of them. It was already a war. All they did was take the mentality with us and find their way back into government. And there you have it. Trump 2025. So I don't know. I just really don't. I don't get offended by it because it's like, at least they're being honest. Yeah, I could respect honesty. I understand the impact that it can have on, like, children and people that are more susceptible. But, you know, back in the day, they was honest about how they felt about people of color and black people and women and Jews, and they was honest about it.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Which was, I think, why it was there was an effective fight against it because we knew exactly who we was fighting. These motherfuckers like to hide behind haircuts and politics now and won't just come straight up and say what it is, you know, they want to tell you they want immigrants to enter the country the right way. What is that?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
Because they'll never tell you what that is.
Big Ice Cup Cat
There's no such thing as that.
Deontay
It ain't not to them. They just don't want them here.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
So they jump through all these loops and hopes and they lie. I think that's the most despicable thing about you. You're already a racist and you're a liar. Tighten up. You got anything else, Big Cat?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Nah, man. Good man. Let's get into. We're getting some emails and stuff.
Deontay
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll be right back after this commercial break out. We back. All right. Getting some of these voicemails.

But I just want to let you know I got your message. You know what I'm saying? I got your message sent through the universe about, you know, shy people caring and we need to hear from them and all that jazz. So I just wanted to let you know I started my show and everything called I'm so Not Sorry Again, I'm so Not Sorry on YouTube. Go check me out. I got some of the same talking points and just me giving my philosophy to the world and my way of thinking, trying to help out my community. I do. Got a question. Did you.

We trying to build something for the community. I appreciate your time. I appreciate the alignment. Thank you.
Deontay
All right, that was Tyler, the philosopher.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Philosopher.
Deontay
I actually did fuck with electronica written testimony. But I will say this, as I visited it, as I've gotten older, that has aged. That's a. That aged very well.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It's a timepiece.
Deontay
It's a time piece for sure. When we was in New Orleans, I was listening to it because I don't know, you know what I'm saying? That's where that nigga from. I was like, let me run this while I'm out here. I think Eternal sunshine or spotless mind like that. Yes, sir, man. If you ain't. If you ain't a Jay Electronica fan, after hearing that, I don't know what to tell you. This is one of the people that have like very minimal productions out, very minimal, like tracks and records out. But for some reason, like, he just got that following because, like, he is on he God level rapper. He was outside of the courthouse when Diddy was on trial with two great names.
Big Ice Cup Cat
He's a mythical creature, son. Just showed up to the courthouse. Two great names.
Deontay
I'm here to support my brother. I was like, all right, well, that's. But he is a Rothschild.
Big Ice Cup Cat
He's not a Roth child. He had a baby by a rough child. Well, I guess he's a rough child.
Deontay
Exactly, exactly, exactly, exactly.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Well, I guess DNA, he's a rough child. Imagine that. From the third war Magnolia and the Roth had a baby.
Deontay
Did they even mean that?
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yo, how are they in the same space? Yo, that's crazy, though.
Deontay
Rap music, man.
Big Ice Cup Cat
You hear the story that mom be told about Jay Electronica. Say he was in Europe. Jay electronic would go to the studio. First of all, he picked him up in a. A Maybach. Drove about two hours outside of the city to like this farm. It's Jay Electronica in the studio, just in a form in the middle of nowhere.
Deontay
He just out there crazy out his mind. He's crazy. Nah, I think another thing we got, like, this is mental illness, you know what I'm saying? Nah, I ain't gonna lie. That's kind of fly.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It is.
Deontay
That's fly. That's fly. But like, where are we getting the food from? Where are we getting the Internet from?
Big Ice Cup Cat
They got it.
Deontay
They figured it out.
Big Ice Cup Cat
They figured it out.
Deontay
Shout out to J Electronica Got a Baby by Erica Badu.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Erica Badu and the Rothchild. That's a well, well balanced brother right there.
Deontay
Mythical pipe. All right, all right.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Mythical.
Deontay
Hey, yo, my bad.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Mythical pipe is insane.
Deontay
What? My bad, guys. Let's get to the last one.
Tyler

What we like. We always do. The knowledge. Yeah, we got a little mess going.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Deontay
All right.
Tyler
Whatever.
Deontay
Since Deontay said y' all want that juicy.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Deontay
I am here with my dilemma. I'll do a. I don't know what that mean. She said. She just said some shit. I don't know. Tl, semicolon, doctor up top and then the extra drama at the bottom. Y' all can include that. Or not. I need a nice way to say this shit long as fuck.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Jesus Christ.
Deontay
All right, we just gonna do two. So we gonna get through this crazy shit. Cause this is a lot.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It look like a lot.
Deontay
Good Lord, it's a lot. All right, hold on. Let me make the font a little bigger.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Jesus Christ.
Deontay
It's a lot. This is a novel.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, it's a Harry Potter book.
Deontay
I need a nice way to hopefully tell my roommate that I don't want to resign the lease with her because I want my own spot. Primarily because I am getting older. I find that I just want my own space, but a little bit because I'm having having a roommate is cramping my love life. I had a roommate before this one, and when I decided not to re sign with them, we basically stopped speaking after all the final bills had been settled. Which I was fine with, to be honest, as we were just acquaintances who happen to have the bunch. Happen to have a bunch of mutuals due to belonging to the same social club. So not speaking to him anymore isn't a hardship. But this roommate is an actual friend. And I prefer to save the friendship and my sanity and my sex life, if at all possible. Thing is, my current roommate has an eviction on her record due to some family crap and it's only from 2023, which will make it super hard for her to get a spot on her own. So me saying I don't want to keep this place anymore isn't just an annoyance, but will likely be an actual hardship for her. The Juicy I've had two, sometimes three jobs for most of my adult life. Because of that, I was always been able to live on my own once I finally left home. However, I started my master's degree program in fall 2023. Had to let my second job go in order to make that work. In addition to losing that extra income, the last apartment had raised the rent almost $100 a month while taking away amenities and handling a pest control issue extremely poorly. So when my lease was up I knew I wanted to leave, but I wasn't able to find anything reasonably priced and safe. So I got a roommate and we rented a house in a decent neighborhood. Got a roommate and rented a house in a decent neighborhood. That roommate was a white guy. This is juicy Very that roommate was a white guy who I knew through a social organization we both belong to most because he's polyamorous and I was dating two guys at the time we signed the lease. So I figured he wouldn't judge and wouldn't be extra and would be an extra safety net if when I decided to see anyone besides the guys I was already dating. Shun lady gets around.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Wait, is it a. Is it a woman or a man?
Deontay
I'm thinking this is a woman. Yeah, by the name I can tell it's a woman. We're not gonna put her name out there. All right, Long story short, the pros of him living there with pros of living with him vastly outweigh the cons. But the economy is still the economy. So I couldn't so I still couldn't afford to live alone. So I got another roommate. This one is a black woman who I knew better than my previous roommate. And also being a black woman, I felt confident that most of the cons of the previous roommate would be alleviated in that assessment. I was right. However, she comes with her own set of cons, mostly in the sense that her family takes advantage of her really bad. For example, my roommate has one child. Her baby daddy has shared custody every other weekend during the school year and every other week during the summer. Every time her daughter has gone to the baby daddy house, her 16 year old niece trying to come over there or her brother and sister in law are trying to pawn their younger kids off on her because the sister in law is pregnant and too tired. This is cramming my style because I am now in a relationship with a married couple and our agreement was that my partners, especially a man, wouldn't be over there while her daughter is home. But because of how her family takes advantage of her, even when her kid is gone, there are usually other kids in the house. Family taking advantage of her is also why she has an eviction on her record. She had her own place and her mom convinced her to pull with her parents and one of her brothers daddy died, lost such a. Jesus fucking Christ. This is a lot going on.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It's a lot, bro.
Deontay
Like, I think I'm straight.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, I think.
Deontay
Yeah, that's a lot. Too much. God damn. I mean I said juicy, not don't write me a book, man.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Wrote a novel.
Deontay
All right. We're moving along. We're moving right along. I don't even know or care how that ends so much. It's a lot. Write a book. My son's father gave up his rights.
Big Ice Cup Cat
That's what we like.
Deontay
He says. Yeah, and it's short. Right to the point.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Right to the point, baby.
Deontay
Hey Deontay, Big Ice cup writing you to you because I really love your podcast and I'm hoping you can help me out with something. 20 year old, 29 year old woman from New Jersey who has a 5 year old boy. I got his, his name is blank. Nickname is true. I got his middle name because he became the fact of my life. Oh shit. This is very real New Jersey.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah son yeah Real fact like Truth, baby.
Deontay
This is real Spill my nigga.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah yeah. Shout out to Truth, yeah Truth, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Deontay
I had to go through a lot of things during pregnancy and I decided two years after he was born to go to court. His father, a 36 year old man from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We tried to make things work but we couldn't get along. At their court hearing last January, he. He reached out to my lawyer and said he wanted to walk away. He signed his rights the same day. It was a very sad situation being alone for two and a half years. I met my now significant other, 24 year old man from Delaware. He's been amazing to me and my son. He's the only man my child knows. They have a really strong bond. You wouldn't even know he wasn't his biological father. As my son gets older, I'm worried about keeping anything from him about his biological father. We as a unit don't want to keep him in the Dark. But we also don't want to hurt him. I'm curious about how you would handle this situation. I come from a Christian background and his stepfather is newly converted Islam from Christianity. I'm not sure how we navigate the differences in our belief. I hope you helped me out. I really appreciate it. Well, there really isn't no differences in y' all beliefs besides how y' all practice them. I would say that Islam is a little bit more rigid in the rituals, so to speak.
Big Ice Cup Cat
It's a little bit more disciplined, a.
Deontay
Little bit more discipline to praying five times a day. Woody. Woo woo. But if you was to follow Christianity, it would be just as rigid and disciplined too. I would say this. You can never justify your actions by saying, I don't want to hurt the child. Okay? The child is gonna experience hurt in this life. Right. We're all gonna experience hurt. The thing that's gonna hurt worse is lying. You not keeping it real with him. You not coming clean and telling the truth about, like, who his dad is and things like that. And also, you could just let him know, like, look, your dad signed his rights away. He didn't want to be your father.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah. Just keep it truthful.
Deontay
It's gonna hurt him.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, but it might not, though, if the dude is stand up like that.
Deontay
But another dude stood that stand up, stand up dude. Like, hey, I mean, I stepped in. I'm your dad. Yeah. And your dad's decision not to be a part of your life wasn't had nothing to do with you. It had everything to do with him. You was a fucking baby.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
He didn't even know you well enough to make this about you. It was a decision that he had made on his own because he didn't want to step up to the plate and be a man. So, you know. But by keeping it from him, you definitely are running the risk of hurting him much worse than just being honest with him.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Just be truthful, man.
Deontay
Just be honest. Always be honest.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Got one more.
Deontay
Got one more. Fake ass. Conscious niggas.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Oh, shit.
Deontay
Hey, Deontay and biggest ice cup of cats. I hope the title caught your attention. It did.
Big Ice Cup Cat
We like it.
Deontay
Giving gratitude to everyone over there in contribution to the podcast. There is no POD like y'. Alls and y' all are just doing God's work. There's no other way to put it. Well, we appreciate that. Onto business. I want to get your POV and insight into who use spirituality and conscious talk to double down on their. And when I say I mean their piss poor ass Egos and personality. I'm dating right now, and I've actually ran into a lot of guys that listen to your pod. But every time we get into a con, a convo in light of, like, spirituality, belief, they're weird as personality, POV and egos always come out. I know it's not just men, but I'm talking specifically about niggas right now. I try to give these men grace, but that shit just gets really gets me hot when I run into niggas that think they're so woke because they learned something new spiritually and happen to resonate with it. Honestly, as I'm writing this, it's literally the same people who use religion to justify their awful behaviors and actions instead of holding themselves accountable. Anyway, I trust you and Cat's opinions deeply. I just want to hear y' all talk about this topic and have a conversation. There are a lot of men who are so cocky and egotistical because of this, and I just think that shit is harmful. Collectively, y' all are fam for real. Big love to y' all families. I definitely love to meet y' all one day and kick it. I can't put into words how much of a blessing this podcast is. Major love. It's only up from here. That's a fucking fact. A fact. Baby, listen. See do Umar going through it right now.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay
What he said. Trying to scam.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah.
Deontay

Big Ice Cup Cat
Yeah, cuz he got. He got his assets froze, his bank account froze.
Deontay
That's called fraud. Fraud. That only happens when you do fraud. Godamn it.
Tyler
Dr. Omar, man.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Well, here's the thing. Like, knowledge is such a. A powerful thing that it gives identity that didn't have identity before. So they see sisters elevating their minds, and they like, oh, I got to get in on this to get the sisters. But really, that's. That's where they hard. It's not pure intentions to be a knowledgeable person.
Deontay
Yeah. I think it's this thing of, like, feigning intelligence to capture somebody's attention or, like, you know, oh, this brother's actually smart. Like, but once you get past anything surface level, it's like they really don't know shit.
Big Ice Cup Cat
They don't know nothing. And that's when the ego and the real personality pop out. Because they don't know anything. They really don't have the knowledge.
Deontay
They ain't doing it.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Deontay
They was never doing enough.
Big Ice Cup Cat

Deontay
Can't trust that Kufy.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Don't trust that Kofi.
Deontay
Yo, you cannot trust that Koofy, man.
Big Ice Cup Cat
Nah.
Deontay
Yeah. Cause it can get. Here's the thing. This is why I talked about that when we talked about the esoteric stuff, is because niggas will try to use all these buzzwords and different things in order to like, scam and fuck over people. Which is why people don't like, when people say, like, grand rising and K. It's because, like, niggas that talk like that scamming.
Big Ice Cup Cat
