It's his sound. Yeah. That's literally how he makes his music. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And if you listen like, there is clarity. Many nights. I ain't gonna lie. I ran that many nights. So many. I start the album. I start the album. I go repeat, run it back one more time. Many nights, I'm on that. I'm talking about that motherfucker so hard. And then you just keep going.

Nah, that ain't it. Man. Damn, bro. They got the. They ain't got. They ain't got the right effect because they got the pitch up like this, but they ain't got to pitch down. We need to pitch down like a. Want to sound like you. We got that. Yeah, that's the rain. Couldn't understand. Good. Classic. Yeah. That's the crazy. We don't. We touch that on special occasions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a. That's a sacred button over there. You know what I'm saying? But listen, I'm. I'm gonna tell y' all this G album. I don't. Nobody's gonna. No, respectfully, I already. I know how y' all is for real. So I know y' all not gonna try to put Gunna in that album of the year conversation. We know that. We gotta put Jid in there. That album is crazy. But also, I, I, I, I like clips as a group. Mm. Malley's needs his own award. Just verse of the year. Something. Yeah. Even his verse on Community. Yeah, Crazy. He. He like, listen, bruh, it's like they doing the Knowledge, too, though. No, they are. They doing the Knowledge. You dig what I'm saying? Man, Jig got him. Jig got him something, bro. He got an album. He got something special. And we could talk about. We don't even got to talk about that. The Community song. We could just. Even though he did take a shot at Kendrick. I mean, you thinking Pac. I'm thinking. He probably say, I'm thinking Dot. You know what I'm saying? What rhymes with that? And also, too, the big dog on the block getting shot. Even the biggest on the block getting shot. Yeah, we know what you're talking about. I like it. I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I love it. Good. Hip hop good. That's hip hop. Yeah, yeah. Good hip hop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Y' all thought the Dreamville. Well, you thought it was sweet over here. It ain't Nah. What's up with that boss, though? What happened? You ain't see, like, so Jared rolling out the album, everybody talking about Jid. And then he started going in the comments on Instagram talking about, Drake is one of the most amazing artists of all time. And all this like, bro, what you got going on? I don't. I don't know if Drake is paying these people or. I don't know, but it's sickening. They need to go see somebody. They need therapy. You see the Drop Top bitch, stop playing with me. Did you see he. Drake was in somewhere. He walking in the streets by himself at night. I mean, as he should. And he's using five different accents while recording. He just need to be true to his self as an actor, man. And everything's going to be okay if he would just like, Lean. I'm telling you, bro, y' all think it's playing. Y' all think I'm playing. Y' all think it's criticism also, too. Like, I don't want to keep using this nigga name, but it is what it is. It's too. It's too, like, prevalent in the hip hop conversation right now. But also, DJ Premiere Rock Marciano dropped. Oh, an album. I have yet to listen to it because I was listening to that new Young Nudie, that pde, that paradise you love. A good paradise. I love it. I love it. They bring their old Atlanta field back. I'm telling you, bro, look, regional music is making a comeback, and I love it. It has to. Regional music, regional lingo. It has. I go, yeah, Nudie. Yeah, hard nigga. I think the rap game would be so much better if we get. Listen. I mean, so we was talking about this, and then I was trying to pinpoint, like, when. When the music changed. So first of all, girl, listen to J I D. Gonna Young Nudie support Atlanta. We support in Atlanta first. You can go listen to DJ Premiere Rock Marciano if you so choose. You know what I'm saying? If. If you feel so inclined. But I'm. I'm thinking about this. I'm like, when did the. When did the sound change? We was at the table, and we was having dinner last night. We was discussing was the Migos, the mixtape, the yrn. Yrn. When they dropped that tape, everybody around the country started trying to do that triplet Atlanta sound. Yeah. And the triplet flow is three Six Mafia shit. It is. But the Migos came when they brought it back because there's nothing new under the sun. Everybody is just standing on each Other's shoulders at some point, you know what I'm saying? That's why I'm never going to listen to a nigga talk about sampling or soul samples. I'm never listening to any criticism about that. Also, again, for the 100th time, and I got 100 more in me. I don't want to hear white people's opinion on hip hop facts. Okay? So I'm actually like anti. Like I'm. If, when, when I'm. When I become the first billionaire podcaster, I'm gonna start paying. Oh, I'm getting the pages take down. I'm getting paid to take that. Me and the CEO of YouTube. What's his name? I can't remember his name. I got it, I got it right now. There he is. Neil Mohan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and Neil, we're getting your page taken down. Me and the Mohan, me and the Mohan. Me and Young Mo get your took down. Neil Mo, as soon as you give me a. As soon as you put out a hip hop opinion on like, your page is gone. Knock them off. Yeah, Neil, we got another cracker. Knock him off. Neil, get his page taken. But, But Deontay, he has 500, 000 subscribers. Is his name Narwhar? It ain't no art war if it ain't Narwha. Get him up out of here. Yeah. Doo doo loo doo. Mm. Hey, did the beat go off and then heat go off? Yeah, just every time you look at me and you just think about like talking about. Because I, I be hearing you talk, I be hearing, I'll be hearing the chatter what they be saying, how he get the platform. Hard work, grit, grind, determination. The people. The people. Yeah. We're held up by the people. We're the people's champ, brother. Ow. That coffee Getting coffee black got me. Coffee black got me. Got us geeked up right there. Play that young nudie. Yeah. East Atlanta zombies don't see it. Paradise. We just having fun, right? Yeah, we are. This is a good time. Today's, you know, today's a good day. We're celebrating, man. Yeah, we are. It's episode 80. 100K subscribers. Ow. We got something special coming. If you, if you in Atlanta. I'm telling you, you going, you going to eat good in these next few months because we going to do a lot more exclusive events right here in Atlanta. We ain't going to do too much talking about it. Just gonna do it. If you got, if you own the Patreon. This is another benefit of being on that Patreon, you gonna get everything first. So if all the Patreon people just buy all the tickets. It is what it is. It is what it is. It'll never hit the public. They deserve it. They deserve it. I mean, that's what it is. $8 gets you early access to everything. All the merch. Exclusive merch. And then early ticket sales. And we gonna give it to you for a week also, too. I'm thinking that we should start when we do guest episodes. We could roll it out on Patreon first. That'd be good. We'll do it like maybe 48, 72 hours on Patreon first. You know what I'm saying? Keep it. Keep it exclusive. A lot of good hip hop this week, man. It is 20, 25. It is August. It's been 20 years since Katrina. 20 years. 20 years. It don't feel like 20 years. This is when we start realizing how old we really are. Yeah. Because when Katrina happened, we was in. I was in 11th grade. I was in 11th. I was in 10th grade. I was in 10th grade. I was in 10th grade.05. And when we came to school, it's just New Orleans niggas. A bunch of niggas and dickies and polos and dreads. Yeah. Tattoos on their face. Young wild girls. Just. Just wow. Shorty's had the razor blade. And they mouth all types. Well, they just call this up the head hunters. Yeah, that's exactly what they used to call. And that's what they were. And they was. And that's exactly what they was doing. This one, I was just like, this one, I understood it was levels to, like, real. Yeah, yeah. We ain't all the same. No. Them, they're also too. It's like, just like went through, like, a actual catastrophe. They in survival mode. They in survival mode in a real way. In a real way. Not. It ain't the same. So. But I want to talk. You know, I started the Ryan Coogler documentary. I've seen a lot of clips. I've watched so many documentaries on Katrina. I've seen Katrina babies also, too. Knowing a lot of people that survived that. Like, if you in the south, you know, a lot of people that survived it so briefly, we could talk about. Me and Mecca and Jamila talked about this too, when I was on they podcast Unhinged Tomorrow, Slick with Plug. The impact that Katrina had on the south, like, literally changed the South. Yeah, it changed everything. It changed everything. It. It changed, bro. First of all, we got friends that we wouldn't have had otherwise. Yeah, no, we was just. I was just with Tyler yesterday. We known Tyler since 05. Yeah. When we was in Houston, we was with Dennis. We know Dennis since 05. Yeah. It's a lot of folks that we like, friends with and that have become a part of our lives that happen solely because of that. Because of Katrina. Because of Katrina. And, you know, I don't think there's a discussion about how, like. All right. Hot take, hot take, hot take. What's up? What's up? Lil Wayne doesn't become the. The sensation. He doesn't become the best rapper alive without Katrina. I can see. Because they spread them mixtapes out like gospel when they. When they was like, brother, we got the good news. Here's the suffix. Have you ever heard the suffix here? Listen to this. And we're like, damn. Yeah. I was like, I ain't never heard this. First of all, because we at this point, we only know Carter one. Yeah. And then we not hip to these mixtapes. We not that. Not in Atlanta. We not doing that. You know what I'm saying? So we know the Carter one. We rock with it. Yeah. But to us, it's like the hot boys. This Lil Wayne. Yeah. We not this little bro. Yeah. When we got a hold of that dedication one and that Carter one. I mean, that dedication one and that suffix. And then shortly after, we get dedication two, and then we get. It was something else. And then we get Carter two. Oh, when he dropped that Carter, too. My God, bro, listen. Carter 2 dropped 2006, right? Yeah. This a year after everybody here. So they already getting us, like, they getting us, right? Because we got these mixtapes. We living with these mixtapes. Yeah. So when Carter 2 dropped. Everybody all ears. And he delivered. He went the mob right off the rip. Yeah. No skips on that car, too. There's no skips on there. That's his best album. Yeah. For sure. For sure. Hands down. Absolutely. I don't want to hear nothing about no Carter 3. No, no. Hell no. I don't want to hear that over Carter, too. They're great. Everybody that says that to me is insane. They're criminally insane. Like, wow, bro, stop talking to me. Yeah. All right, now we. Now we mixing up the medicine. Yeah. Oh, now. Now we're gonna go to the top. We do real drugs now. Now we pot. Now we po. People from New Orleans brought those mixtapes far and wide. Yeah. If they didn't. If they didn't save. They couldn't save the house. I'm getting this little angst. They saved the mixtape. I got this mixtape. I was in a super dog with this cuff. Cradle the baby in the mixtape with me. They gonna hear this shit. I'm not losing the suffix. Yeah, but for real, though. And they brought them squad up tapes, too. But honestly, like, the impact that the Katrina had on the south, especially, like places like Alabama, Georgia, Texas. Yeah. Houston, definitely, you know, Mississippi. And also, too, like, a lesser known thing that's talked about is the impact that Katrina had on Mississippians that was displaced, lost so much. But because of optically how it affected New Orleans. Yeah, like, specifically. I mean, that is. This is also now in our generation. 9, 11 is the start of white skepticism towards the government. Yeah. Katrina was the same thing for black people. Katrina was our start of real skepticism about our government. No more trust, no more alliances. No more. Like, we not believe you niggas. Cause y' all left niggas out here to die. George Bush doesn't care about black people. Come on, Kanye. Come on, Kanye. I made him a legend, made him an icon. Michael Myers was shook, Shook. Chris Tucker ain't know what to say. Yeah. Hold on. Kevin not supposed to be back on me right now. Shit. What now? 504. They had to pivot real quick. 6, 5, 7, 2, 3, 4 eggs. And he said it with a straight face to the camera. And you could tell he was nervous because that's a courageous thing to do. He knew what that was. Everybody's watching. That was. This is the thing is. Is because of those things, it's hard for people to let go of Kanye. Yeah. But alas, gotta let him go. But it changed the culture of the South. You know, the Cajun cuisine, the Creole cuisine is so prevalent down here now. It is. Houston is prevalent. Yeah. You know, we learn about these second lines. We learn about so much. We learn so much about New Orleans and New Orleans culture also, too. Like, as fucking tough as they are, they some loving people, bro. They cool as hell. They the most gener. They the most genuinely generous and like, solid, loyal people that you ever gonna meet, bro. You get a friend from New Orleans, you got a friend from. You got a friend for life. I got friends that. I've had friends for 20 years. Because of that. Yeah. Because of that hurricane. But I think that also this is just colossal failure on behalf of our government to the point where it does look staged. There is. We've heard the stories in person about the Levy. Them people hearing explosions. Yeah. And this documentary actually brought that to light. Yeah. Then we also Know, like, how tragic the fucking Superdome was. That. That just a. That's a travesty. The. The women and children in that Superdome. That was insane. The things that was said to go on. And I. And believe. And I believe. I believe it. Inmates being let out, inmates being left to dead. Black men being shot down in the street by vigilantes. Yeah. The news. The way the news cover it. Survivors versus looters. This was. This was. You know, it set the stage for the gentrification of New Orleans facts. But also, like, yeah, bruh, they trying to get rid of N. They was trying to kill. Nah, it just is what it is. And they effectively did kill N. Yeah. Cause if he went to New Orleans before Katrina and after, it's two totally different places. I've never been to New Orleans before Katrina. Two totally different places. Fuck it. If a nigga was outside N. If a nigga was outside in 95, nigga, ain't that nigga a gangster? You heard soldier Slick. Yeah, yeah, read it. In week, we got soldier Slim out of that murder. Murder capital of the world of the United States of the United States is down there where it's really killing, killing. And also another thing we get from Katrina, New Orleans exposed. Yeah, we get to watch those documentaries. I was like, I don't want it. It's not a good thing. But you got the violence. You got some violence out of this. It was. A lot of violence came out of that because them niggas was in survival mode. I ain't gonna lie. If you was in the streets, they was coming to get you. They was coming to get you. Listen, bro, it just. It just exposed you to a different type of street. Like, them is different level street. These are. These are. When you think street. New Orleans, for sure. There's no hesitancy. Them was robbing and killing everything. Everything. If you had it. If they thought you had it, they was coming. They was coming to get. Because they. Because they look at. They look at Robin as a part of hustling. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, we got to get him. We got to get them. So it was like. And. And, yeah, bro, the violence that came with it was a little crazy, but, you know, good people. No, they good people. They not. If you in the street, you don't want to be in the streets with them. Nah. If you faking it in the streets and you playing around. Yeah, they make the niggas. You want to be in the street, not play with them because they coming to get you. They was whacking. Shit. Yes, unfortunately. You know what I'm saying? Unfortunately. But. But that's part of the story, but a reality, a real reality. All right. Come down here and turn the crock pot off or just put it on warm. But yeah, it was. You know, it's one of those things where like, man, that. That. That. It changed everything. Yeah. It changed the trajectory of our lives too, though. Yeah. Not only that. I got to say water you to every. I used to love saying that. My Big Charles, we play football. Big Charles. Big Charles. That's my. That's my guy. My boy Darren. Yeah, well, he used to say some. He used to say. They said. He used to say to the girl, Scully. Me, they be like, scully, man, I used to love that. That's some cool n. I'mma tell you story about Big Char. When we was playing football, his first game, you know, he played Chapel Hill. That was his first game with us. And they was talking about how Chapel Hill was built so they have to go to school with us. Big Charles took that personally. He was like, yo, can we spit on them? I said, yo, hey, wait a minute. Can we spit on him? I never thought about that. We never thought about that. That never ran across my mind. Spit on these. Oh, they didn't want to go to school with us. They rich. Can we spit on them? I said, oh, my God. You gotta think like they just lost everything. Lost everything. Them, he don't care. Them Big Charles don't care. I ain't gonna lie. Them was them. Caused a royal rumble at our school. What? The girls? More than anything. Yeah, yeah. Cause you gotta think the New Orleans girls came with their accent. They were snap. They were snatching. Listen, they were snatching us up. I for sure got snatched up. They wasn't playing. It didn't even take like three class sessions. All I heard, they would say, baby, oh, my God. What? And they got a FEMA check. Some of them. Some of them had their own apartments, like straight up. Yeah. In high school with their own cuz, you know, they were giving away apartments over there off Hospital Drive. They was what that called Creek Brook. Not what it's called. It's something right across from Kroger Twin. Something right across from Kroger, Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they done changed the name of that apartment so many times under new management every year. Apartment. But the. The shout out to Ryan Coogler for one man, just like always, you know, That's a. That's a man. He fun. He for and from this. Yeah. So he Shined light on it. I'm interested to see this new Jordan Peele film him. Marlon Wayans. Yeah. I think Marlon Wayans playing a villain is peak comedy. Comedic actors, when they get into like real serious roles, they be thriving, bro. They be thriving because underneath the jokes is some pain. It's seriousness under them jokes. There's some seriousness to it. I would suggest everybody go watch the Ryan Coogler documentary about Katrina is on Hulu. Yeah. All right. So there was a study that came out this week. There was an article that came out about a study into AI and how these companies are using AI to basically pull applications. And the study discovered that there are certain things that it looks for to throw out and it's extremely discriminatory. Discriminatory towards black applicants. Right. So you're like, you're not crazy. Yeah. You put in like 20 applications and you ain't getting no calls back and you ain't like nothing and you qualify and you, you meet all the requirements. You're not crazy. You're being discriminated against. Even in the face of techno technological revolution, white people will still be racist. We will train these bots to hate black people too. Right? That is insane, bro. That is sick. Toni Morrison said that racism is just more than anything, it's exhausting and it's a waste of time. And that is what it is. Because you have companies out here that could be thriving. You have black black people. I think black women specifically are out of 300,000 jobs. And the end then in the unemployment percentage has went up 7% for black people in general due to discriminatory practices and racism by using AI via AI. And you got people out here like thinking that they're doing something wrong and it's not, oh, we just gonna read your name. And you know, they probably have a database of names that they. If it ain't these names, throw it out. But then, you know, the, the identity thing, you're going to identify yourself as black and if you do, it's probably getting thrown out. And they using AI to scan all these things and to be discriminatory against black applicants, where it's like, now we talking about the most educated group of people by race and gender in this country can't find employment because you have trained the robots to be racist is wrong. White people are like parasites of progress, bro. It's parasitic. Like they would rather have under qualified or, or non qualified applicants just to have, just for them to be white. The music industry is going through that as well. They're they're folding. I've just seen Vince Staples talk about this, but a lot of people that come from the culture and, and that was in these different record labels kind of like controlling and running things and making sure that the artists are taken care of and that the right quality product, they don't folded them into each other and got rid of like 50 of the employment in, in these industries. A lot of them folded over into umg. And so it's like the, the, the things that are happening in this country day by day where even when you are overqualified, you can't find employment. And a lot of these jobs are like high level tech jobs, engineering jobs, and like motherfuckers went to school, motherfuckers spent their money, use their brain power. These are very wise and intelligent people. And there's gonna, this is, this is what's gonna happen. This is what I first see happening. People in other countries become skilled professionals, skilled like physicians, engineers. They become skilled in these high level professions and they come to America for the opportunity. And with the revolution that's going on on the big continent, Africa right now, where a lot of these countries are kicking the French out, are reclaiming state to their gold mines. I think they say something like, like Burkina Faso has made like $18 billion. Yeah. Since taking back their minds, how much money were y' all like siphoning? Oh, out of that economy, bro. Oh, they, they take money from Africa by the billions, bro. Bro, but, but if they've, if they've. In the last, they, let's just say six months ago, they reclaimed their gold mines and they've made $18 billion. What are y', all, what have they been taken from these people? I'm gonna tell you like this. 50 to 75 billion dollars a year. Every country in Africa should look like Dubai. Real shit. Every country in Africa. And, and the people should be living in reflection of that because they have all the resources. Yes, but I foresee, I think there's a couple of countries in Africa that have opened up. Kenya for one. But that's just what I know off the top of my head. I could research it, but there's a couple of countries in Africa that have opened up citizenship to black Americans and anybody affected by the diaspora. Now if we have these people over here who are going through their, their, their own rebuilding phase, they're going to need engineers. So don't be surprised when you start seeing black professionals in these African countries working and getting to a fucking bag. Because these people have a newfound wealth and A newfound structure. And they do it and they become dual citizens and they're going to go somewhere where they're going to be welcomed with open arms. You know, every story that I've heard about people visiting Africa is largely positive. Every place got their own problems and corruption. But the thing is, is that it's gonna, we're gonna start to see an exodus of like skilled professionals, especially if they not gonna be able to get a job here. Marcus Garvey would be proud. He would be. But I'm gonna tell you something else and something we've been pumping. Now, the CEO of Black Rock said this, so it doesn't sound good coming from him, all right? But he was like, AI is not going to take your plumbing job. AI can't take your welding job. AI can't take your electrician job. And AI seriously, can't really, really replace an engineer. But these skill trades that we always talk about you, that is a secure job. That's a real thing they want to talk about. They want to talk about AI and the advancement of technology taking over the cdl, the trucking industry. But public trust plays such a major part. People don't even like Waymo's cars. You think they gonna let you have a driverless 18 wheeler on the road? People are not gonna trust that. People are never gonna feel safe or comfortable with that. It could work. When you talking about like a yard dog or something like that, just parking trailers, staying on the property, but actually going out in the public, in the street, people are never gonna trust that. And all it's gonna take is one thing to go wrong for it to shut the whole thing down. And that one thing will happen pretty quick. So again, we need 550,000 plumbers and electricians. I think we need like a quarter million electricians and 550,000 plumbers. Half a million plumbers are needed. Go get a skilled trade, bro. We don't have the podcast without me having a skilled trade. That's just real. That's real. The CEO funded CDL funded all this. If you figuring out what you want to do and if you want to do content creation, I didn't get you the blueprint. If you got something to say, say it in the truck. Say it with your work vest on. Say it on your break if you got something to say. But go get that skilled trade so you can start getting some money. That's one thing. Now that you're going to face your own discrimination anywhere you go. If you black in America, expect some discrimination. Expect some Racism, expect all that, because these are industries that have large, largely tried to keep us out from it. But everybody, you know, they had a skilled trade. They get money. They take care of their families. My homie Pops is an electrician, Master electrician. They ain't never worried about no damn money. That boy never worried about no money ever. They've been living good since I known them. There in the. In the era of, like, ease and ease being seen as content creation, ease being seen as starting a podcast, he's being seen as anything that's outside of, like, physical or manual labor. I'm telling you, now is the time. Because a lot of y' all are using AI to replace your brain. Simple, simple, stupid tasks that you can figure out how to do on your own. You're using AI for. It's not going anywhere because it's been integrated into every tech space. Apple, Apple Intelligence, Gemini with Google, Grock with Twitter. They don't put your goddamn location on Instagram. Just. It's not going anywhere. And in the face of a technological revolution, white people will still choose to be racist. But that's not your problem. Your problem is you gotta keep going forward. You a divine person. You smart. You got the skills. You gonna find a place for you, for yourself to land. Okay, we gonna land somewhere, and you're gonna land on that motherfucking bag. We're gonna take a quick break because I have drinking so much coffee. Oh, that I want to smoke. What the fuck? We back. Hey, man, just look at it. Bask in it. Yeah, it's Black August. All right. We reading Asada. I ain't in a book club, but we reading Asada. We on that Black August. I just seen an interesting video. So, dude, just go through, like, the whole. What would happen if black women stopped buying beauty products for 30 days? Y' all crash markets internationally. Like, internationally. It seems like they're gearing up to start trying to do this September 1st. But can it. Can. Can it. Can it. Can it happen? Can it work? It can. It would take 30 days. It. Just go ahead and prepare yourself. You know what I'm saying? No, I'm not saying that. This is a lot of superficial women out here that's like. I'm not doing that for nobody. I'm not. You know what I'm saying? It's a majority rule. Yeah. You know, if. If 75 of black women participate in it. That's enough. That's enough. And I'm gonna be every last one. No, you're right. I'm just Saying, but it is a lot of supervision. Women. There's a lot of women that rely on the beauty industry for their jobs and shit too. Yeah. There's a lot of people that have never worn their natural hair to work, so it'd be revolutionary, to be honest. I seen a post in Brazil, they bringing the fro back. You know what they call the fro in Brazil? What? They call it black power. There you go. Tribalism is a deeply embedded human behavior. Historically, Europeans have taken advantage of those who embrace strangers with open arms. They look at it as a sign of weakness, naivety. They take advantage of them. When Columbus first encountered the indigenous people in America because of how generous and welcoming they were, he said these people would make perfect slaves. Servants. Servants, yeah. This is why the coon is so appealing to white people, right? Because they're always the last to know they're being taken advantage of. They're always the last to know they're being used. And they recognize it immediately. Right? Like, you know, I'm pretty sure they'll say, you know, in these spaces, you know, somebody like a Lawrence Taylor comes around and, you know, who cares if Trump trotted out Lawrence Taylor? That nigga used to smoke crack and used to. He's a pedophile. He's a fucking pedophile. Fuck Lawrence Taylor. Like. Like what, nigga? Fuck you. Fuck the blindside. Shout out to Michael Orr. White people, Europeans have a sociopathic code of conduct. So being used by them means nothing to them. And a token gets spent. Right. They'll use you for whatever you need to be used for. And you think that it's grace in its favor. You think it is assimilation. And once they've gotten all they can get out of you, they'll discard you and push you out to the side. They'll show you how they really feel about you. But it's tribalism, right? They're, you know, all groups. All groups participate in some form of tribalism. We see this in hood. I'm from this neighborhood. Fuck them niggas over there. You know what I'm saying, Woody? Woo woo. We see it with sports teams. Yeah. Oakland Raiders versus whoever. You know what I'm saying? We Raiders fans over here. You know what I'm saying? We Bills fans over here. And it gets to a point where some people take it so seriously, where they'll fight about the shit. Yeah. Even if they have no stake or advantage in it. You spend $80 on a jersey to fight another nigga who spent $80 on a jersey with another Name on the back of it. Nasty work. It's nasty work, but it's tribalism. It's a deeply embedded human behavior and it's become more of a embedded human behavior with the rise of tribal politics, their right versus the left. I am personally, my take on politics has always been there's two wings to one bird, it's two sides to a dirty coin. All of these different things. So I criticize government, I criticize the left a lot. Because the left and the left is typically the more progressive party, the party for people, things like that. At least that's how they prop themselves up to be anywhere where white people are in the space, there's racism. So I address it because that, that binary way of thinking is the way that most people think. So I can't come with my singular mindset of it's one big government and we shouldn't trust none of them. It should be dismantled because people don't want to hear that people are tribal. They're tribal about the red versus the blue gang banging. Extremely tribal behavior. We're from this neighborhood, you know what I'm saying? Fuck them niggas over there. Really, really, really, in a real way. And the necessity for having a tribe historically makes sense. And you see it online all the time when people hear the way I talk and they see the others that agree with them, what they say, I found my tribe, my tribe found my tribe. We, we want to belong to a group, you know, this is a deeply embedded human behavior that we can't do away with. But our tribalism is going to have to evolve into a moral standing, not an ideology, a moral standard about what we want for the people around us and what we want for the country that we live in. Right? When creators and companies are effective abusing rage bait. Right wing creators and companies very effective at using rage bait because it's easy to be ignorant. It's the intellectual path of least resistance. I don't necessarily need to appeal to those who will oppose this view. So Dunkin Donuts. America runs on Duncan. And then they start talking about genes, genetics. I got this tan from genetics that has nothing to do with coffee. It's a dog whistle. But who's doing the reports? If the demographic that brings me the most money is also the demographic that aligns with Maga, I appeal to them. So if I lose 15% of my business, but I gain a staunch support from these 75 to 85% of people who double down now. We only drink Dunkin. It's a W. And the people that are against it, the people who are gonna create content around it are gonna effectively spread my brand and my message more. It's rage bait. So did you see the new Dunkin Donuts ad? Dunkin Donuts said this. Dunkin Donuts said that. Dunkin Donuts said this. Dunkin Donuts did that. American Eagle did this. Sydney Sweeney said that. American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney. American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney, Dunkin Donuts, American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney sold. It's rage bait. It's a repost. It's a stitch. It's engagement. They use it. That gives people on the left something to talk about. Always playing defense on the left. Always, always reactionary. Nothing proactive. And it's because it's a. It's easy to be ignorant. It's the path of least resistance. Right? When, when you're anti intellectual. The easiest way to piss off intelligent people is to align yourself with groups that have been smited historically or take an opposing view on things that are objectively true. So how do you piss off intelligent people? Align yourself with Nazis? They've been smited historically. We know what they did. They participated in the genocide. Their leader is. Is deemed the most evil person of all time. Now he ain't got nothing on King Leopold. 20 million Africans. What. What's that country? What's the Congo? We know the Congo. What's the place that's famous for chocolate? It. Is it Norway? I don't think it's Norway. Look it up. Yeah, look at. We got technology. Belgium. Belgium. Ain't no cocoa trees in Belgium. None. So these people will align themselves with people that the groups that have been smited historically. Being a neo Nazi is a powerful thing. It's a freedom of speech to them right. Right wingers, red hat wearers, you know, staunch Republicans, racist. They think that being a contrarian is a being a free thinker. But it takes intelligence, it takes research, it takes empathy. In order to evolve as a human being, you need information. You need information that goes against whatever you currently think or maybe what. What you was taught. But intellectual path leads resistance. It's very easy to be ignorant. It's very easy to align yourself with groups that have been spied historically or to take an opposing view on things that are objectively true. You see this all the time. This is an easy way to piss off smart people. Take a fact and deny it as a fact. They say things like, I question the science. Do you understand what science is? Do you understand how many tests, how much research has to go into creating an objective fact? How many failed hypotheses into an objective fact? Astrophysicists have long said that there is no such thing as a retrograde. It doesn't spin backwards, it's just the angle that it takes. And, and with the human eye can see or what we've seen in through a telescope will give the illusion of it spinning backwards. But it really doesn't make sense for anything to just start spinning backwards because if it did start spinning backwards, it would change the direction that it goes in. And then also if something's going this way, it has to first slow down to start going in the opposite way. It just doesn't even make sense. But belief, belief is a very powerful thing. So, and this is not to piss off anybody that does astrology. I've been around people who like study astrology, who are really passionate about astrology, and you know, I've seen the, I've seen places where the truth can align in these things. I'm not a die hard, I don't take it as a fact. But it is a belief system, so to speak. And in belief is a much more powerful thing than a fact. If I believe something very hard to make me not believe it, even with evidence, because I want it to be true, I need it to be true. So what do they say about Mercury? Retrograde technology will start to fail. Communication gets difficult. If you believe that, then it will. So is it true or is it a mass delusion? If these people believe the racist rhetoric, so much so that they practice it on a daily basis, so much so that it goes into everything. They think about black people more than we think about ourselves. They think about the immigrants more than they think about themselves. Because we're not hung up on it. We live in rent free in people's minds. And, and, and is it racism or is it obsession? You dig? So then when you start arguing objectively true things with feelings and emotions, but in the same breath says this world has gotten too soft, I can't say nothing. You know, comedians say that, oh, you can't joke about nothing, you can't say nothing no more. You get canceled. Is it true or are you just not funny? Can you not say anything because people are too soft? Or do people require more respect than they used to? Are people loud about being respectful to their lifestyle, their choices, their way of thinking, their pronouns? They're this, they're that, right? Now last week we spoke about respectability, politics and policing, language tone, policing, and that being the downfall of left and white liberals. But the more, you know, the more you grow, the better you do and you put things in practice. And if people on the left or, you know, liberals would give people more grace and room to grow, we will see a more effective class of progressives, right? But this is a tribalism that we're up against on the other side, where this is a deeply embedded lifestyle and truth to these people. And I can. It's so in. Since ignorance is the intellectual path of least resistance, it's so much easier to find an ignorant motherfucker than there's a smart motherfucker. It's very easy. People discover this podcast and feel like, God damn it, the floodgates hip hop. And I've been looking for this everywhere, right? And it's because they are so effective at using rage bait, they effectively will say something that goes against objective truths, that goes against plights of progression. And so now, instead of the comments being flooded with overwhelming positivity and people that agree is flooded with people who disagree and them arguing with people who agree. It's going up because you're reposting it to cite your think piece. You're stitching it to cite a think piece. You're stitching it to react to it with the facts. And the originator of the post brings in all the profit. If it's a monetized post, which 9 out of 10 it is if I get everybody talking about Dunkin Donuts because we said some. Some shit that aligns with eugenics. But you've been talking about me all week. The more you talk about it, the more you see it. Now you see a Dunkin Donuts on every corner, whereas before that might have been in one of your blind spots. Now you know this American Eagle, where before that could have been in one of your blind spots. These people have a sociopathic code of conduct. They. They are only using you. American Eagle might not even believe in that shit, because this is the thing, okay? Is it purposeful and methodical? After market research, after figuring out the demographics of people and you understand that this is not going to affect your bottom line, because your bottom line isn't black people. Is it a genius marketing strategy to disrespect black people if black people are not your main source of income, if they're less than 5%, even less than 10%, but by disrespecting them, by disrespecting us, that you set the Internet on fire with think pieces, with reactions, with comments, with arguments, with boycotts, and the only way we know who we're boycotting and who we're mad about is if we mention their name. And you got my name circulating all over the Internet. And a good, A great publicist will tell you all publicity is good publicity. So is it a lack of awareness? Is it a lack of cultural consciousness? Or is it methodical and purposeful? Because they understand how reactive black people are, especially black creators. Especially black creators with a big platform. While you think you're doing something virtuous, your promotion, you're, you're, you're a marketing. You're a part of their marketing strategy. Now. Piss black people off, right? Piss liberals off. Is it time for people? If you are intelligent, if you are progressive, then you've studied and understand the ways of ignorant and regressive people. Is it time to use their strategies against them? And how do you do it effectively? There's, there's, there's a lot of us on our side of the Internet. Since my politics and my way of thinking aligns more with the left, that is how I'm seeing. And I'm fine with it. My politics are my own. My, My thoughts and theories towards the government are my own. Because whatever lens you see the world through is the lens you see me through. And that lens is black, nationalist, leftist. And I'm fine with it. It's fine. Why? What can be done? What strategies can we learn from their, from their strategy to benefit ourselves? How do you get the leftist? How do you get the progressive mentality out there more than the regressive one? Number one, you gotta stop reacting. It's a. At this point, shouldn't we be used to it? Gotta stop reacting to see what happens. We see what happens when we do react. They roll out more when they seen how. When they seen how reacted to the American Eagle. Dunkin Donuts was right next up in line. That's methodical. That's purpose. Because it's overwhelming negative reaction from the left about Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle. And then Dunkin Donas hits it right back. And now we got y' all arguing about something else there too. Intelligent people are too easy to distract, evidently. Because the easiest way to piss off an intelligent person is to align yourself with groups who have been smited historically or take an opposing view on things that are objectively true. Intellectuals hate contrarians. Intellectual people hate the ignorant. And the ignorant and the contrarian are always lining your ass up, setting your ass up for a reaction. And the only thing that matters on the Internet is engagement. Tick tock, Instagram. They not sifting through the comments. They're counting Numbers. They're not sifting through the likes. They're counting numbers and the likes and the comments and the shares equivalent to views. The more views, the better the RPM or the worse the rpm. Doesn't matter. You're still getting paid. We react people into riches and wealth. We react people into a bag. We respond by getting paid. Your silence is important. So two things. Can you. Do you have it in you not to react and to keep moving and to understand that their ignorance is business as usual, and their ignorance may be purposeful to get you to react? Do you have it in you to learn the ways that they get us to react, to get them to react and so that they spread your message? Or do we continue to be on the strings and be played like puppets? Oftentimes, I try not to react to these things. But a big part of being in the media space, especially now with the visibility we have, there's a there. There comes an overwhelming request. And, you know, I want to take my view on it and kind of like, at least, you know, do what I do. I want to break it down. I want to try to provide some nuance. And upon thinking about it, this is where I've landed. This is all purposeful. It's not an accident. Nobody's missing the mark. Navy wasn't an accident. You remember that. That's gonna get us demonetized. Bleep that out, Tristan. That's what happened last week. You know, I'd be dropping the hard R. We gotta stop dropping that hard R. All these things are purposeful. And it just dawned on me. I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, they be trying us on purpose because they know you're gonna react. They know you. And you're gonna run the comments up, you're gonna run the likes up, you're gonna post it. You want everybody to see your reaction, so you're gonna share it. Tricks, good tricks. Good tricks over there on the right. And the companies that align themselves with them actually create more loyal customers. Oh, yeah. America does run on Duncan, brother. I always liked American Eagle jeans. I love them. And. And when I'm wearing my American Eagle jeans, I like to have me a cup of Duncan, because America runs on Duncan. You see this red hat? I'll let you know everything you need to know about me, brother. I don't like you. I ain't gonna like you. Trump, greatest president of all time. You see these guns, brother? Oh, man. The biggest thing that we lack in this plight of progress is discipline. You can say what you want about these folks. That you don't agree with that are on the opposite side of the aisle. But in their practice, they are very disciplined. In their politics, they are very disciplined. Their ideology, they're very disciplined. They're loyal to it. They love it. They believe it. And belief is powerful. Belief is more powerful than a fact. So while you try to beat people over the head with facts, you have to understand that their ideology and their belief system is much more powerful than any literature that you could provide, any bulletin points that you have, any talking points, you have, any think piece, any rant. Their belief is more powerful. And if we will focus on our beliefs, if we will focus on our code of conduct, if we will focus on our mentality and our ideology and steps trying to spread it and just enforce it, we may see a lot. We may see change come a lot faster. So that goes back to your point. Would it work? Right when we mentioned the beauty supply, would it work? All we need is a majority. We don't need everybody. Stop trying to make everybody comply. It's never happened and it never will. All you need is a majority. That's democracy, right? Majority rules. So it don't matter who don't vote yes. Did you vote yes. If it's 10 of us and seven is ready to go, that's all we need. And if need be, we could beat the other three into conformity because that's what they do on their side. You can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools. You can steal the master's tools and build your own house. It'll dismantle itself. Historically, groups who think like this is a snake eating their own tail. We just said that everybody that said what I, when I mentioned, when we brought up that, that community, that all white community in Arkansas, everybody, everybody that knows anything about anything tells they're going to have internal conflict. And their internal conflict is going to be the downfall of it. Because tribalism, and a big part of tribalism is there needs to be a leader. There's going to be a power struggle there. Somebody's going to feel like they're not getting their just due. I built 10 houses. You only built five. Why are you the leader? You didn't build none. Why are you in charge? Somebody's going to feel undervalued. The focus in the attention that we're going to have to have to details. And the details is in recognizing when you're being targeted for attention. The name of the game is attention. Give it the right attention. The type of approach that they're taking in Memphis is the right attention. Sue these niggas. We're gonna get to some of these emails. But the type of attention that they require is not effective. It doesn't affect them at all. The type of attention we need to give it is the type of attention that they respect the legal route. They respect the courts because that's how they make their money. They respect the course because that's how they get things done through the courts, through the laws, the black and white. So are you going to continue to be reactionary or are you going to take if you want progress, you're going to have to be proactive. We'll be right back on this commercial break. We back. All right, let's do it, baby. I'm from Oklahoma City. I listened to your last hey, my name is Kayla. I'm from Oklahoma City. I listened to your last episode, episode 79, and I wanted to plug a book suggestion for those questioning what progressives is as far as like the whole political thing we was talking about. I would suggest two books esa by a white lady, unfortunately. But she her name is Robin d' Angelo and she wrote Right Fragility, White Fragility. And she wrote Nice White Racism and explains to people how dangerous the progressive is. Whereas they might parade around seeming like they want to help. They are dangerous because they always policing that don't matter. Like you said with a Feeny. They in the comments worried about her cousin, not the message and the people that's gonna die. So I just wanted to plug that. Love what y' all guys do, listen to y' all podcast every week, keep it up. Proud of y'. All. Hey now. Hey, hey. Appreciate that white fragility and nice white racism. We got the books. Hey, appreciate you, baby. Hey, yo, first and foremost, shout out to the grits and podcast your boy, man. Checking in from Warner Robin, Georgia. I want to check in this on a lighter topic. I support everything y' all doing and enlighten the black community, but I want to check in on the lighter topic. This probably for the Music Mondays, but I don't understand the whole Freddie Gibbs coming at currencies chick, man. And I try to detach from whatever the artists be having going on with their beefs and because I love music. But why the Freddie gotta keep jabbing that currency, man? This man one of the most consistent unproblematic rappers ever. And I say this just to this to spark the debate of whose catalog do y' all think wins currency or Freddie Gibbs? I I'M rocking with Spitter all day. But don't get me wrong, I don't with some of the Freddie gives me doing and saying. But that man don't miss either. Him and Alchemist is like Jordan and Scottie pimping my. But yeah, I just want to get y' all in light on that and. And shine some light on Currency as well. Because that man there do not miss. And his catalog is unmatched. But shout out to the Gritson Egg podcast. Love everything y' all doing. Beyonce, Kyle, Big Ice Cup. Love y', all, man. Keep doing everything y' all doing. Blessings. Hey, much love, baby. Appreciate you. All right, we can give you a quick breakdown of this. I' ma say this before we play this clip. We cannot ever. When we start talking about music and we start talking about ranking discographies and catalogs, we cannot put quantity over quality. Freddie Gibbs has the better body of work because even though he has less projects out, they are better quality more consistently. If you listen to Currency like I used to listen to Currency, especially in the deadpip days, Brad be putting out a lot of duds too. He put out a lot of projects that might got one or two good songs on it. Cause he just record and put it out so everything ain't gonna hit. When he. When he has shit that hits, it hits. When he put together and craft like really good albums like Stone Immaculate, it hits great projects like Smokey Robinson, it hits Drive In Theater shit hit. He got a lot of shit in there, you know, he got like shit like Cigarette Boats. He has a lot of good projects, but they also live amongst a lot of bad projects. And he makes all his money off Tornado, and that's his blueprint for independence. So he has to have a wealth of material to work with so he can keep his people fed. And they will feel like, you know, it's necessary to got down, keep coming to his shows and shit like that. So he gotta feed the streets, so we really can't even have a conversation. You see that? Can you see that? What happened? I had scratched my face. Oh, yeah. He was a little red mark right there. Yeah. It's not crazy, though. No, no, no. All right. But he gotta keep the streets fed. So as much as I love spittles and as much as I fuck with, you know, like, what he does as far as putting his music out and it become like constantly keeping us fed, like he just dropped the project. We can't put quantity over quality, you dig? So I got Gibbs. When we start talking discography you know, I'm going gangsta Gibbs, baby. We can't see another joint project on the horizon. I know you inspit you and spit it. Yeah. With a rapper. Like, you wouldn't do another joint project. No. Yeah. I mean, man, I definitely never do that with Spitter again. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'll do all love and respect, you know what I'm saying? It's just, you know, I don't with. Nah. That I don't with you, bro. You know what I'm saying? I don't with that at all. If I see that, I won't even speak to him. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because it's just like. It's like, you know, man, look, man, we can't tolerate no disrespect in this game, dog. Yeah. And a. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, we did. We did fatty. And I love that. I love. Great. I love that, man. That. That was crazy. Yeah. To this day, as a person. But when it comes to business, you a ass. You know what I'm saying? Like, and it ain't tighten up, man. Listen, my. I'm not about to go for the. In no kind of way possible. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. If I tell you you're about to do something, we gonna do it, brother. Like, I'm not, you know, I mean, I'm like, bro, okay, we're gonna do this together, bro. Let's do it. You know what I'm saying? So for a to, like, have you get alchemist to do an album, have you do artwork, get everything together, you know, like, my. This is my time. I'm gonna do a roll. I did the whole rollout for that face that didn't come. I picked. I did the COVID The whole idea was mine. That was like, yo, let's just rap on these alchemist bees and put out something. I was like, all right. The whole business was lackadaisical. And a asked me why I don't with currency. Because it's like, you. You know, you played me on something that I don't really, you know, on some business, you know what I mean? And. And I thought you was my friend. So as a friend, you should have been like, nah, bro, my bad. Well, it was none of that, you know what I'm saying? And a. And niggas would be like, oh, man, that's just how it bros is. He be high, I be high, I be drunk. Yeah. So don't give me that. Don't give me that. This. We was supposed to shoot videos. It wasn't one video. No videos at all, dog. The told me he was shooting one. I listen, I shot a piece of the video when I was on vacation in Dominican Republic. I was like, send your part. We gonna put it together. We got a song in there called Location Remote. Location Remote. Be like remote locations. Just stop texting back. Yeah, stop calling back. Damn. You know what I'm saying? Like. Like that. You know what I mean? And a. In the industry, expect for you to just go for that. Like, this is just the industry, bro. Nah, you think you too real for the industry. Yeah. That's why. So I. I mean, honestly, from his perspective, I feel I would understand why you would be upset. Yeah. Because I ain't all that ass and all that. Like, that's different. I don't got nothing to do with that. But what I'm saying is, if we, you know, these. Everybody is not from the Currency school of thought when it comes to making music. It's not just a recorded and put it out type. If that's how you like doing, that's how you like doing. There also has to be an understanding of how everybody else do. If I put together a project, I want to promote it. We didn't get no videos from Fetty also. We didn't get any promotion from Fetty. Fetty was like a thing you kind of had to discover low key. Like, if you. If you was. It wasn't tapped in with Currency or Freddie Gibbs at that point, it was no way for you to discover it. So then it doesn't even open itself up to new audiences. And I think, you know what I'm saying, like, I understand the frustration. Yeah. So I think, you know, and then Gibbs gonna always say what he feel about shit. He always gonna say, like, hey, I don't. With this person. I don't. With that person. It makes sense. I don't expect Currency to respond to this. I don't think he will. Nah, that ain't. It ain't even his style. He's just like, ah, whatever, man. Like, you said, be high. My name is Haley, I'm from St. Louis, and hey, y', all, My name is Haley, I'm from St. Louis, and I just want to say, shout out to y'. All. Okay? Y' all are doing the damn thing. And shout out to my homegirl, because when I asked for a new podcast baby, she delivered. Okay. The same way that y' all delivered me. Okay. The first episode that I watched was the war on drugs. And literally your perspective was life changing. Which brings me to my question. Are you interested at all in doing anything educational related for the kids, for the teachers, for the adults? You know, does any of that sound like it would tickle your fancy? Because if so, please let me know. My master's is in curriculum and instruction from the illustrious Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Yes. I love my hbcu and I love y'. All. Like real talk, it is refreshing to see one black men speak so highly of each other, speak so eloquently. The way you deliver information, it's engaging, it's real, it's authentic. And the world needs that. Okay? In all spaces, but definitely in education. So again, if you are interested, please let me know. And if not, just thank you for continuing to give it. For continuing to give us a great show each week, continuing to expand our minds and, yeah, giving us something to look forward to. Because I know I look forward to each one of y' all episodes. So thank y' all and have a great day. Ow. If you in elementary school right now, tell the teacher, I ain't standing on no lines. I'm definitely interested in the education space, but also too, like, I gotta keep the main thing. The main thing. So I feel like my educational space is here. And if we ever get to a point where it is curriculum, it'll be somewhere further along the line, further on down the line. I think right now it's like we got to focus on where we at, you know what I'm saying? And we do the knowledge where we at. And, you know, we keeping people fed with the education over here, but we definitely love the babies. And if we could help, if I could lend, you know, my presence or if I could speak at a school or something like that, I'm definitely interested in it. We got a couple of people that colleges and stuff that have reached out for me to speak, but they want me to do this for free. And men don't know. Men don't know about doing for free. You got a budget? Got a budget? Am I asking. My speaking fee ain't even crazy like that. So they be hearing the speaking fee, they'll be like, okay, yeah, bet. And then I'll never hear from them again. You know, they want to get it from the people that want to do it for free. I don't think institute. I don't. I'm. I'm never. I'm. I'm going to do. I will do free for individuals. I will do free for small businesses. I Do not do free for corporations and institutions. That is not it. That's not how we gonna get down. That's respect. If it was Wallow, y' all pay the Todd dollar. If it was Eric Thomas. What's his name? E.T. eric Thomas. If it was him, y' all pay him. Pay me the same way.

Yeah, deontay ain't that hard to spell. Nor say DeAndre Kyle and Big ice cup. Thank you for everything you do and the community you're building. Sending love from New York City. My problem is four years in the making after leaving one relationship that ended with me crashing out in an awful way. Just think alcohol and repressed anger. I entered another one around 2021 bad idea. This one was with a single mother who has dated rappers and was clearly looking for a financially stable man. She has adhd. I suffer from anxiety, depression and a bit too much smoking and drinking. At the time I. I was making well over 125k in digital media but squandering on with her I. E. Vacations we ubereats going out most low. No, most notably her beauty business. When I met her in late 2021, her business had a small brick and mortar location where she had a consistent clientele. Between then and now, she had a number of setbacks and that I've been there to support her for financially and emotionally. A bot space expansion. A botched space expansion complete with broken down walls, refloring sewage issue, multiple flaky tenants, associates bleeding her dry. The rent for that brick and mortar location falling behind due to lack of clients because of all the construction. Her dodging eviction by moving out. I couldn't be there for the move out as I was working and in atl visiting my parents and many more. Series of unfortunate events. Golly. As you'd imagine, trying to help and support her affected me. I lost my job twice due to inattentiveness with her, both times taking several months to get a new job. That is not her fault. It's your fault. You never. You gotta keep the main thing. The main thing? Yeah. The apartment we moved into a year after we met fell behind in rent because of my unemployment and her struggles. I started losing my community because the move relocated me from my support system. All the while we relied on my credit to get by, which fucked my finances up. And this omits being a stepfather figure for the first time to a girl whose biological father, who's now married with a new baby, sees his child's mother as a mistake from his past. I was in too deep like my cock fife. Mm. I admittedly have struggled. Have struggled with being a father figure, but have settled into it by de centering my feelings and. And being more receptive to a less authoritative style than my West Indian parents used on me. I've cooked and cleaned for the girl, dropped her off and picked her up from school and extracurriculars, watched that little girl's clothes, got her in the summer camp in Maine, hugged her when she was crying from her dad and mom, amongst many other things the father figure is supposed to do. We moved back to our old neighborhood after less than a year, but since then, the magic, which admittedly was fueled by bad credit decision, is gone. She took blaming. She took to blaming me for her business struggles, saying I didn't help her enough with marketing because I work in digital media and saying that we weren't living the lifestyle she wants. I take that second part to mean have disposable income to pour into her, her business, her daughter. She expressed frustration I'm not able to help her more financially and logistically. She felt like I let her get lazy by being so generous at the beginning of our relationship. I tend to agree, but just about the lazy part. I've seen her low for days on end, not doing shit but scroll her phone, smoke my weed. She's lost clients in work, being late or unresponsible because of her adhd. She keeps our place a mess and takes no interest in cleaning her chores minus the one time a month she can muster the wheel. She doesn't go grocery shopping. She doesn't pay anything towards our rent and utilities. So I miss the bills, the household logistics, everything. I haven't been able to save or pay off my debt. And I've been tired of her shit, too. We decided to split our households but stay together. That wasn't my idea. I'd have stayed and fought for our household. She wants to move her business into her daughter's old room and use the living room as her room. And now. And I have to now leave the apartment that I pay for. What my question is, am I right for feeling used? Yes. Yeah. Am I just a bitch ass nigga? Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Was I playing stepdaddy for nothing? Yeah. Am I wrong for being resentful of her? No. You say yeah. What is he wrong? Is he wrong for being resentful? He's not wrong. No. No. I'm moving out and debating on whether continue this, but the situation feels like a soft breakup. I don't do gray areas, Nigga, that is a soft breakup. She broke you down. Yeah. It's like a shotgun broke that thing all the way down, son. Jesus Christ. You. You, sir. Thanks for your help, fellas. Much love again from uptown New York City. Shout out to y' all for Lincoln with Mero. If you can do a Desus collab, the next logical step is a Bodega's boys reunion. My brother, my brother. You got fried, dried laid to the side, my nigga. He said she wants to use the living room for her room and daughter room for the business. He has to leave the apartment that he pays rent for. Man, ain't no way, bro. Yo, you got to drop your nuts and stop paying. Yeah. And let the chips fall where they're made. She is not your child and not your responsibility. Yeah, I'm not talking about the stepdaughter. I'm talking about that woman. Yeah, that woman ain't your fucking child. And then what are you taking the blame on any of this for? Nigga, it sound like you literally. You literally ruined your life trying to make sure her life was better, fool. And he went into a knowing, damn, what you gonna get no pussy or something like, what's up with you, cuz? First of all, the first line was she used to dating rappers, so you knew who you was dealing with when you got into the relationship. You got played big time. You got played something bad. She's smoking all my weed. She's smoking all my weed. She has adhd. That bitch is lazy, man. That bitch just wants you to pay for her lifestyle. And she got the business for the gram to make it look appealing. Your money is gonna make it look like she's making money off her business. When she just don't do shit but have a business. Yeah, you got played. If you keep paying the rent in a place you don't live. And you ain't married. Are you a fucking idiot? I hope your parents hear about this and start beating and slap you upside your motherfucking head. Bam. Ba Claude. Your Caribbean parents Six Ross clad Pussy clawed eggs Bumble Ross clad. Stephen.

Because obviously your dick don't make good decisions and your heart don't make none either. And I don't want to hear about your depression and anxiety. If you got depression anxiety, use some of the funds that you funded into this bitch business and go invest in your mental health. My nigga. Same way she want all this business, all this lifestyle. She couldn't. Went and got some fucking ADHD medication and been on top of her shit. She ain't got to do that because she got a fool. And everybody love a dummy.

I mean but honestly 125k in New York is. It's okay. It's better than zero. It's better than zero. It's better than falling behind on your rent. Well, it's better than ruining your credit for some puss. I bet you was paying for all that construction and too he was. God damn. Yeah, God damn. Another one bites the dust. Line of credit. Baby. This going to have a white next year. I'm switching over to milk. Yeah. Damn. Dr. Umar. Dr. Umar. These black queens snow bunny smell. Yeah, I'm gonna go play in the snow, baby. These they kids too.

My son wants his dad back home. What's up cousin Let a podcast. Been watching forever. Finally got the courage to write in. I guess I really don't know what to think. So I was with my BD for four years. We live together, we have two kids together. But I have a 12 year old that isn't his. He's a good man. He works, he provides, he does what's needed to do for the most part. But we never trusted each other. I don't care how we got. I don't know how we got this far. I guess I can say the kids but anyways, I went out Friday. We got into it earlier that day and this man punched me in my face five times and choked me. Clearly no self control. He let his emotions win. But my 5 year old noticed that all his dad's belongings are gone. And now he keeps crying, asking, asking me, crying, why can't his dad come home or back to our house? Or why did his dad leave? And I've been telling him because he hurt mommy. And he's like, how did he hurt you? What did my dad do? I don't know. I feel bad and I guess I'm asking how should I answer my son? Because kids are used to waking up and going to sleep with me and their dad. But I also want to consider my 12 year old's feelings because he walked in and seen me on the ground crying. So I talked to him the next day and he just felt anger. He felt he needed to do something to him for me. But he's a kid and he shouldn't even see this type of shit going on. Yeah, that's over with. That's a dangerous situation. First of all, first of all, you fucking around. This nigga kill your ass. He punched you in the face five times and choked you. If that nigga fuck around and kill you, who he gonna cry? Who your child gonna cry to? Then you need to keep it real with your child. Fuck that. Yeah, yeah. He created the situation where they have to be exposed to this. Right? That nigga punched me in my face five times and punched. First of all. Punching, punching. Your girl is crazy in the face. Yeah, this is over with. Yeah. Now shorty can't come back home.

Hey, Deontay, big ice cup cat. 24 year old woman from Louisiana. Almost 25. Why you telling us that? Why you saying you're almost 25? She grown woman. That frontal lobe getting developed. Yeah, yeah, bro, that coffee is crashing. And we finna do new music Monday. My dad has struggled with cocaine indention since before I was born. Damn, that's a long time to be doing cocaine. 30 plus years. She's 20. She might be 25. Yeah. As I've grown older, I started to see my parents as people. He's really disappointed me. While I was material spoiled, materially spoiled, growing up, jewelry, name brands, I spent most of my time home alone. The loneliness, along with being tossed between family members and experiencing homelessness in my first two years of high school, deeply impacted my Mental health. I'm in therapy now. Working through it. Good on you, sister. He raised me to take care of him, Cook, clean, manage the house, handle paperwork. And that responsibility has only grown as I've gotten older. It start to interfere with my personal life and relationships. We're gonna stop you right there. This is your father, not your child. This is your father. This is not your husband. Few years ago, he moved into my apartment, claiming he couldn't afford rent anymore. This is your father, not your husband. This is your father. This is not your son. I was taking care of him and his dog. He bought the dog too. Damn nigga bought the dog. Yo, niggas be nigging, bruh. Straight niggs. And it's like your daughter. So you done? This is abuse of power. For real? Yeah. While he barely contributed, he moved with me from February 2024 to June 2024. Helped me with nothing. I've had his dog since 2023. He finally left after I confronted him about money he owed me. A little effort he put to helping around the house. Since 19, I've had my own apartment, career at the post office and a car. But I've missed. I've let him mess up my credit and take too much space in my life. If I set boundaries, he calls me conditional manipulation. Meanwhile, he drives trucks, drinks heavily, does coke and lives check to check with no real bills. Even when I stayed at his house for six months, he charged me rent. Huh? Yo, niggas are ill, man. Let him and the cocaine go. Let him and the cocaine go live happily ever after. And the dog. And the dog. Yeah. Stop doing that. All right, all right, all right. One of our last interactions was him asking me to forge his physical paperwork for his cdl. Apparently his blood pressure was too high to pass the proper physical. In addition, he was between company and the day before he asked me to take him to the airport. He tells me he failed the home drug test so he can't take the flight, needs to borrow money and try his second choice. Which really infuriated me because how do you have money for coke? And why is it my responsibility to provide for your piss poor priorities? I goes to him and he swears I only deal with him when I want. Need something. Which is even crazier because I don't ask him for money. Quick note. If you were wondering where my mom was in all of this. See, this is what I like. Yeah, Context, good storytelling. There we go. If you wonder where my mom was in all this. The military. And remarried. She has. She had twins on December 6, 2007. Two days later, my dad had a daughter by another woman, a white lady. God damn it. The co do it. I went from being the only child to having three siblings in one week. Jesus Christ. I'm a. Cocaine's a hell of a tr. Yeah, mom popped out there too, for one. Yeah. All that to say. I haven't talked to him. I haven't talked to him in way too long. I miss him dearly. I love my dad. I don't know how to deal with him anymore. He's stuck in the past, refuses to take accountability, stop connecting with friends and family, and doesn't see how his actions have hurt me. Always saying he raised me as a single parent, which isn't fully true because I only live with him from kindergarten to fifth grade, ninth and 10th grade, but I was homeless with him. He even put my mom on child support when she joined the army. I feel guilty for resenting him, knowing he's lonely and his own family is fed up with him. I feel bad, but I'm exhausted. I'm really concerned about his health and well being. Do you have any advice? Well, the thing is, that's your parent and you love him, but there comes a point where people have to prove themselves to you. You've proven yourself to be a great and loyal daughter and at times play the role of his, of his woman. He raised you up to be his woman, you dig? The only thing y' all lack in your relationship is the sexual aspect. But he, he's raised you to serve him. And so now you feel guilty because you're not serving him. But, but he doesn't even serve himself. The only thing that he makes time for is his addiction. And though addiction is a disease and, and, and, and, and it is like, rampant, and it does take control of your life. There's only so much empathy you can have for that when it starts ruining your life. And his. His poor decisions have spilled over into your life and into your mental health. I, I would say outside of how much you miss him and you concern with him, look at the physical effects too, not just the emotional effect. How has your life gotten better since you've gotten him out of your life? Are you more stable? Do you. Are you. Are you able to maintain happiness for longer periods of time? Are you able to avoid disappointment for longer periods of time? Outside of your own personal things? Do you have somebody in your life that's siphoning your energy from you, siphoning your resources from you, putting more responsibility on you than you already have. Because the thing is, is like you've gained so much probably since he's been gone, but that is still your dad. And the fact that he's your dad, you should be concerned with him. Of course you're concerned with his health, but he's not concerned with his health. And we talking about an issue that existed with him before you were born. So it's not your responsibility to help him deal with the issue because rehab is clearly off the table. Acknowledging that he's an addict is clearly off the table. Instead of he's risking his livelihood for cocaine, he fell in piss test, he's missing out on jobs, he's losing jobs because he's prioritizing the drugs over everything else in his life, including you. So I would say keep doing what you're doing. I would say you're gonna have to love him from a distance. I and understand that when you call him to reach out and check on him, he is going to try to finesse his way back into your life. And he's an addict. And the only reason he's going to want to be around you is for what he can get from you. Don't live in a fantasy of what you want. Don't live in the. Don't live in this utopia of the ideal father and daughter relationship. You've had 25 years to realize that's not what it is. And you spent two of those years homeless. I don't like the mom in this situation either, though. Yeah. Cause where's she? Why is she absent from kindergarten to fifth grade? And you know the dad has a coke addiction. What the fuck? What you doing? Yeah. You ain't got no aunties, no granny. Yeah. Oh, no, man. There's some. There's some left out of this store. It's a lot of going on. Yeah. Yeah. But it's still a lot of missing. Yeah, because like, she remarried, she joined the military. But like December 2027, which means. And you was born in the year 2000. Yeah. And when she had the twins, you moved in with your dad because she had the twins seven years later, which means he was like second grade. So probably when you met your went to the military and remarried. Damn. She still got a responsibility to you too, though. Your daughter, like, can't be all about the twins. I don't know, man. I don't know. And then him having a baby with the white lady, Man, I ain't gonna lie. As bad as a hand as you've been dealt. I'm sorry. As bad as a hand as you've been dealt, you've managed to be able to take care of yourself and. And you was raised to be self sufficient but you had to take advantage of the. The things that serve you and stop using it to serve everybody else. Especially people that aren't giving you anything reciprocal back. Man, we wish you the best. Yeah, for sure. We wish you the best. God damn, daddy. The cocaine bell for real ending on that dope. Him and the dog. What kind of dog is it? Shut the up. Shut the up. What is wrong with you, nigga? I don't know what kind of dog is it? Yeah, no, we not doing that. We are not doing that. This. This girl suffered enough. You over here playing nigga. Yeah, I mean we just joke 30 minutes about somebody. It's different. It's different. It's different because she ain't tell us everything. Deshaun trying to at least give us a full picture. I mean, I guess because I ain't gonna lie. Not victim blaming you girls putting your hands on too. Yeah, well, maybe she did. Maybe he just reacted when they heard Hebrews.

Turn me up, man. It's just rap. I just want to rap. I just want to rap, man. We'll see y' all next week, man. Yeah. 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 that'll indeed turn into 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 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 roots, relaying it through reason and rhyming that I sought for us dissecting systems responsible for our imprisonment. The visionary with astigmatism in scarred courtiers. If love is blind, then what am I? You can't fight faith. That's why so.
