Episode Transcript

[00:00:03] Speaker A: Y. Yo, what up, bro? Y' all stand for O.T. yeah. Nah, get that bread, bro. Y' all gotta stay for O.T. listen up, workers. Overtime is mandatory this weekend. No excuses. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Please let me work. Let me work. Please let me. I'm a member of os like that Omega sci fi fraternity. Greta the tittle tattle prattled on about the little metal bottle. [00:00:43] Speaker A: She spat a bit of spittle on the modern brittle cattle in a bitter battle. Hey, hey. [00:00:47] Speaker B: Stop questioning my methods, okay? [00:00:49] Speaker A: I was chosen for this task for a very good reason. No, she chose herself. Blood collar men don't care if you look for them. They didn't spend 2012 hours in steel toe boots, survive three energy drinks in a gas station, breakfast in 100 degree heat for your opinion. You tell a blue collar man, not everyone likes you. He'd be like, good. Less people asking for my help on Saturday. They don't need strangers to like them. They need their wife to think they're funny, their kids to be safe, and their truck to start. On the first try, you could tell a blue collar man people are talking about you. And he'd be like, okay, are they going to help me unload this trailer or what? The thing about them is they will move mountains for people that they love. But outside that circle, good luck. They're not losing sleep over opinions of people they wouldn't call if they had a flat tire. And honestly, there's something kind of refreshing about a person who would rather be respected than liked. [00:01:49] Speaker B: Why you. World is such a. And when I say this world, I mean it. I don't mean an ideal sense. I mean, in everyday, every little thing you do, it's such a gimme, gimme, gimme. Everybody back off.

Step, step, step, crush, crush, crush. That's how it all is. And it's like nobody ever stopped. Just. You know, I feel like instead of us just being like, slavery's bad, slavery's there. Bad whitey, bad whitey. I mean, all right, let's stop that. And everybody's smart enough to know that. I. I mean, we've been slighted and we want ours. And I don't mean by like hours, 40 acres and a mule. Cause we passed that. But we need help. I mean, for us to be on our own two feet. Us meaning youth or us meaning black people. Whatever you want to take it for. For us to Be on our own two feet we do need help because we have been here, we have been a good friend. If you want to make it a relationship type thing we have been there and now we deserve our payback. It's like you got a friend that you don't definitely look upon.

Dallas WW NBA team is the Dallas Wings, if I'm not mistaken. I said the Dallas Sky. It's the Chicago. Scott. I want no disrespect to the W, all right? Because they doing anything. They bringing in money. They getting money. No disrespect to the W at all. But it's the Chicago sky and the Dallas Wings. However, Paige Beckers, like I said, and Paige Beckers and AZ Fudd, they're both from the Dallas Wings. So, yeah, just had to correct that from last week. Quick revision. There may be another revision or two. I'm not sure. But, yeah, we'll see. Salute again. To be easy, of course, sending in that email last week. Appreciate you. My bad. Now, if you guys want to send an email, do an early engagement plug here, but feel free to email us at mandatoryot704gmail.com again, it's mandatoryot704mail.com and we'll read your email on air.

And say, hey, you know, make sure you do that now. Listen, what I'm looking forward to in the near future, very near future, is we're going to be. We're going to be starting up a video portion of this thing. I don't know how it's going to look yet if I'm gonna, You know, because I'm gonna definitely get a video part of the episodes going. But I think we might do some live stuff. Still doing some research on what's going on with. Still doing research on what's going on with the. What do you call it, like, playing music or licensing and stuff like that. If I. If I stream. Not sure how that exactly works. Anybody out there that got a little bit more information on how that works, feel free to reach out. I appreciate you, but. Yeah. So in an effort or in the spirit of that, that will be kind of mo to a lot of on screen things, streaming and stuff like that. Make sure y' all lock in that phone number, because that phone number is going to be the same number that we use to take. Take callers, you know, and everything like that whenever we're streaming live. So just be on the lookout for that mandatory overtime, you know what I'm saying? But, yeah. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Salute. [00:12:53] Speaker A: Salute. Let's see here. Do I want to get started? Why not? No time. I can the present. So let's go ahead and get started on some wisdom. Come here, P.R. [00:13:03] Speaker B: what's today's mathematics? Yo, no disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:13:07] Speaker A: Build. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Destroy. The build is to elevate the mentalities of self and those around self to add positive energy to every nation. To build, you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation, and add on to the highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher. A supreme harmony. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:13:28] Speaker B: Peace, God. Do the knowledge. I know you gonna dig this. [00:13:34] Speaker A: All right, so first and foremost, I know this ain't like, really building wisdom, but salute. One more time to my little cuz Makai graduating from the army today or like from boot camp, whatever their process is. He's down there in Fort Ben in Georgia, but salute, my brother. I love you. Congratulations, and I'm proud of you. Go ahead and get to a little bit of wisdom. Mixmaster T dropped some wisdom in here today, so we'll be reading that in a little bit. See here? It's from Bling. A little bit of wisdom from the church. Of course, the Chase Monday said, God is the source of all wisdom. When we walk in his wisdom. We will experience his blessings in every area of our lives. Salute. Salute. Shout out. Thank you for that Bling. And then win some Wednesday. Encouragement comes from Psalms 46:1. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. So as you move through this day, remember that God is with you every step of the way, no matter what challenges you may face today. His strength is greater than your weaknesses, and his help is always right on time. Trust him to guide you, to strengthen you, to and. And carry you through this day. Salute. I appreciate that, bling. Thank you, my brother. Let's see here. I want to go ahead and see Taz drop something in the group. So, brother Taz, what's up down in Chucktown? What's happening? Let's see here. Oh, I like this one. Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have. Love that. It's tough. Let's see here. [00:15:20] Speaker B: And. [00:15:20] Speaker A: And to make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care. I love that. I absolutely love that. Absolutely love that. That's tough. All right, let's look for Cousin Jerome. You know we can't. Cousin Jerome ain't gonna let us down. All right, so let's see here. Cousin Jerome on Monday, sent for it is in giving that we receive. Tough. That's Francis of Assisi that said that. And then he also sent. We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing. Sounds like that's right up my alley, y'. [00:16:03] Speaker B: All. [00:16:03] Speaker A: That's by George Bernard Shaw. Let's see. Excuse me. The New York accent came out a little bit in that. That's by George Bernard Shaw. George Bernard Shore, but yeah, so. And then next one is here by Eugene Delacroix on behalf of Cousin Jerome, the artist who aims at perfection and everything achieves it in nothing. Yo, ain't that the truth, Baby Ruth? I'd be trying to tell. Never mind. I ain't gonna allow nobody out. You know what I'm saying? [00:16:35] Speaker B: Because. [00:16:35] Speaker A: Because dope digitals might get mad, but I'd be telling my friends that. I love that. Let me read that quote again. Salute, Cousin Jerome. I appreciate that. Hold on. Let's see here. The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing. Tough. Super tough. All right, man. Shout out, man. All right. I appreciate y'. All every. And then we're gonna also bring up fresh off the presses from Mixmaster T this morning. I don't know why I'm doing that. Okay, so here we go. He. He sent the text and said, is something. Here's some words of wisdom or something to stay woke about. So let's go ahead and play this here. I believe it's kind of long, but we'll play a little bit of it. It says Trump was wrong about everything. [00:17:36] Speaker B: It should say, you are wrong about everything. Thanks so much for mentioning me. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Your hat says Trump was wrong about everything. [00:17:42] Speaker B: It should say, you are wrong about everything. That's adorable. [00:17:45] Speaker A: All right, the board is clear. The board is clear. [00:17:57] Speaker B: Burn In 2025, deported multiple children, one of whom was born in New Orleans and had brain cancer. Donald Trump got the pro life, Bible thumping Republican Party to say, yes, we want more of that. As a matter of fact, send Gregory Bevino down here to harass more people. So I have no doubt in my mind that the map's gonna pass if y' all can give us less than zero seats. You would do it. Y' all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights act was harmful to white people, that it caused reverse racism. RFK said that black children are overfilled on antidepressants and that they need to be re parented on different farms. All of them. Pete Hegseth constantly brings Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to give a prayer service. Doug Wilson is the same pastor that said that slave owners were on strong spiritual ground. I don't have no belief in, no morality on anybody that follows Donald Trump. If you wasn't with this map, you wouldn't be underneath this president. You wouldn't be in your party. You would stand up, you would stand against it, you would speak out about it. So as far as I'm concerned, if you here as one of these Trump Republicans, you already showed us who you are, you showed us what you want to do. And I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y' all are in a death spiral. That's why y' all have have to redistrict. That's why y' all have to cheat. That's why Trump got to go to Texas and say he entitled to five more seats. It's because y' all know what y' all doing is abhorrent. We letting our people die in Iran based on false pretense that Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent say it ain't real. Y' all okay with all that. So I'm positive y' all gonna be okay with the maps. But the beautiful thing is the children that y' all have made. And the people that's younger than y' all don't support none of this racism. [00:19:57] Speaker A: So salute. Salute. I gotta cut the brothers wisdom because we gotta show the gets you. But, yeah, salute to this brother. I believe he's in Louisiana or in Texas. They're talking about redistricting or redrawing, you know, a political map out there. But points was definitely made. Wisdom. All right. And something to stay woke about again. Appreciate you, Mixmaster T. All right, you heard. Listen, man, one week from now, I can't. I can't say all of this stuff on here. You know what I'm saying? People from my job listening. Listen, man, one week from now. Yeah, one week from now. You heard. Salute to everybody, though, with the building wisdom, let's go ahead and move forward. I did have a couple of random thoughts I wanted to. To spark some engagement out there. I need from y' all the top three air. Follow me now. The top three air activities. Air that men do around their ladies. Okay, we're talking about air basketball. All right. Shadow boxing, air guitar, air drums. Y' all let me know out there. All right. Just to a. Just a fun little engagement exercise. Now, I personally feel like air air hooping is definitely at the top, especially in the black community. All right. We do a lot of moves around playoff time, too, but air basketball is probably definitely number one. I caught myself practicing my baseball swing the other day. So, you know, air baseball or air batting practice has always been one that I've seen for people that love softball and love baseball. You never even. You never see any, like, air track or shadow track. I mean, I guess some. Some will practice to relay, like stick, stick, stick, partner left. But, you know, some people practice that or kind of practice their little stretching or their. Or their form a little bit, but you don't see that shadow boxing vibes. Now your air guitar, air drums have kind of matured to a. For me, at least to an air DJ controller, where if I'm hearing music out and about, I might do some scratching on my air turntables. Just, you know, being. Being honest. So y' all let me know, though. Let me know what some of y' all top three to five air activities or silly activities, whether you at home by yourself, Dolly, or, you know, with your significant other or whatnot, and feel comfortable enough to do it around them. Just. Yeah, I mean, let your boy know. I was just a conversation I had the other day I was interested in. Yeah. So salute. I want to go ahead and move forward. I wanted to actually bring up something that I brought up a couple weeks back with regards to gta. I wanted to go over the timeline for Grand Theft Auto at least while we early in the show. Right. But we'll go ahead and talk about that a little bit. So bear with me one moment here while we pull this up. Let's see here. Place this on hold. Give me one second. All right, so this will be with a little bit of assistance from an article from Radio Times, but it simply just says GTA games in order talk about the release in the story timeline because those seem to be or are two different things like the story timeline and then the release of the different games. So start off in 1997, released to PC, PS1 and Game Boy Color, Grand Theft Auto, the original game. I have some memories of that PS1 game. We'll talk about that in a minute. But then Grand Theft Auto London 1969 was released in 1999 to PC and to PlayStation 1. Grand Theft Auto London 1960, 61 was also released that year in 1999 to PC and the PlayStation 1. And then Grand Theft Auto 2 came out in 1999, was released to PC, PlayStation 1, Dreamcast and Game Boy Color. Now Dreamcast that definitely started to introduce some of these different games like Taxi Driver, some of those, some of those different graphics. But nevertheless the, the bees knees after Grand Theft Auto 2 dropped 1999, you know, I mean, Dreamcast, Game Boy, Color, PCPS1. Y' all know what time it was after that, right? Come on, man. 2001, where were you? Grand Theft Auto 3 drops okay for PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Mac operating system, Android. Well, this, these, you know, come later of course, but Android, iOS and Fire operating system, it has, you know, versions for all of those, you know, supports all of those platforms or whatnot. So Grand Theft Auto 3 was kind of the introduction for a lot of people. It's had a 3D version and had there, sorry, real hip hop, hip hop, hip hop. But the radio, whatnot, the radio station, you can go through and, and change your. I don't know if you could change the station back then on Grand Theft Auto 3 or if it was just different stuff that was coming on. I think you could, I think there was a couple different stations, but nevertheless, let's keep it moving. So Grand Theft Auto 3 drops in 2001. 2002, Grand Theft Auto Vice City drops. They was on a roll right then. Y' all just saying if you was a Grand Theft Auto fan, it was almost like albums dropping every year. So Grand Theft Auto Vice city drops in 2002. That gives you the. Y', all, forgive me, but the. The Miami vibes, right? The 80s Miami vibes or whatnot. That drops a PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox. And of course it has for Mac operating system, Android, iOS and Fire operating system. Then 2004 comes, which is my senior year in high school in Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas drops as for PC, PlayStation 2 and having a option for PlayStation 3, of course, Xbox, Xbox360, Mac operating system, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and the Oculus Quest 2. So those were all there again. And we had that available, right? San Andreas gave us the Cali. A lot of the desert out there. I want to say a mix between Cali and Vegas, because it gave us the. The desert. A lot of desert. Grand Theft Auto advance, that was released 2004 for Game Boy Advance, Grand Theft Auto Liberty city stories in 2005. That was for your PSP handheld, but they had it for PS2, PS3. It was unavailable. Android, iOS and Fire operating system. So that was more the Liberty Stories. I remember kind of more of. It was like a mobile game. And then again Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories. Now, mind you, I'm at Claflin at this time. That was released in 2006. It's released for the PSP, PS2 and PS3. It was unavailable for the PS3. So Vice City stories. And then Grand Theft Auto 4 drops. Grand Theft Auto 4 drops. 2008, the PC, the PS3 and the Xbox. 360. Grand Theft Auto 4, the Lost and Damned dropped in 2009. Grand Theft Auto China wars to drop the 2009 as well. Then we have just a bunch of different versions of Grand Theft Auto 4. Right? So another Grand Theft Auto 4 drop drops. Whereas the Ballad of Gay Tony, that's in a different version of. I. I don't know about nine of them versions. But then another magnum opus, Rockstar drops with Grand Theft Auto 5 in 2013. They dropped that for PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox series. So that brought it to another level. And then Grand Theft that was, you know, brought us really 10 years into the making of where we are today. And then over 10 years in Grand Theft Auto, the trilogy dropped in 2021, the definitive edition, I believe that that just included a bunch of the different Grand Theft Auto worlds. And then bringing us to 2026, where Grand Theft Auto 6 will be dropping for Xbox Series XS and PS5. So we will have that. I know that was a lot right there. I appreciate y' all staying with me and staying patient. Again, the important detail to note is that Rockstar doesn't consider the 2D, 3D and high definition timelines to be canon to one another. So as such, we have separated them into three corresponding timelines so that you could play them in chronological order. So the Grand Theft Auto 2D timeline, you would play Grand Theft Auto London 1961, then of course the Grand Theft Auto London 1969 and move forward to the original Grand Theft Auto, that 2D Grand Theft Auto, and then play Grand Theft Auto 2. All right, if we playing the 3D timeline for Grand Theft Auto, you'll play Grand Theft Auto Vice City stories first. Again, that's the 80s vibes, then going on the Grand Theft Auto Vice City. So Vice City stories will kind of give you the back stories for a lot of that stuff. And then moving forward to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, which takes place in the early 90s on the west coast again out in Cali. Let's see here. Then moving forward to Grand Theft Auto Liberty Stories, which gives you the background of those stories. For Liberty City, you have Grand Theft Auto advance, then Grand Theft Auto 3, where you're introduced to Liberty City, and then they got a high definition timeline from Grand Theft Auto as well. But nevertheless, y' all see what time it is. It's a. It's a great time to be again, I guess a Grand Theft Auto fan. I don't know. They still got pre orders going on. Still trying to work it out where I'll be prepared whenever it drops that I'll have my, you know, I'll have my copy or whatnot. I have my subscription now, I guess. Let's move forward to this real quick. It's gonna be with. Regarding my weekend at Yankee Stadium. Where'd you come from? My weekend at Yankee Stadium. Cut my head, chopped the. Did the lamb chops. I don't know. Have y' all been hearing Dame, is it? I don't know what emotion that I have from hearing Dame talking so disparagingly about Jay. If it's like disappointment or exhaustion, you know, am I exasperated by the whole situation and just tired. But Dame, he's been finding every little thing to try to bring up about Jay Z to try to evoke a response. I wanted to play this Target Freestyle, or they're calling it the Target Freestyle is one of his. I think he performed it on the first night of the weekend. And I wanted to kind of talk about it a second for a second. So Give us one second. Let me go ahead and pull it up. Tori has a video out on this by the way as well, so definitely subscribe to the brother Torre on YouTube. He has a great video explaining kind of my feelings toward the freestyle as well. But. But we're gonna go ahead and pray, play the Jay Z freestyle from the first night of his Yankee Stadium shows and then go from there. Yeah, I sold out. Yeah, I did sell out. Three nights I sold Yankee Stadium. Aim don't miss that Target. [00:32:46] Speaker B: No exclusive. They only doing what Apple Walmart did. You shopping at Amazon or you boycott? You posting on Instagram. [00:32:56] Speaker A: That's meta. Boy, stop it. [00:32:58] Speaker B: Y' all know Google owns YouTube. You picking and choosing the politicking as usual. [00:33:06] Speaker A: All right, now that that air horn was out there, that wasn't me they did. Nowadays it's a battle. They run out of characters. Had to bring back up Cap again. Buddy took a check. [00:33:18] Speaker B: I ain't even mad at him. [00:33:20] Speaker A: But along with that check gotta sign a non disparagement. I'm the one they can't control. Y' all better be glad as him. I'm the one they can't control. [00:33:36] Speaker B: You better be glad. Him half a billion back in the community. [00:33:40] Speaker A: That's just good math for him. I don't listen to Twitter activists. They type and I laugh at them. [00:33:46] Speaker B: There's really no comparison. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Y' all check my stats again. I'm bringing folks home to their family. [00:33:51] Speaker B: Laws get passed to him. You could like it or not. We don't do no ass kissing ex drug dealer. You might not like the packaging, but my presence is the present and my gift is rapid. Oh, they say I sold out. [00:34:06] Speaker A: Okay, all right, all right, all right. I don't do. We get both like you get the and so people out there saying it's not their favorite Jay Z freestyle, right? And then he's of course done this or made this a thing that to. To really spit a freestyle in the middle of a sold out show or whatever like that. That like that alone is a feat in itself. However, gotta hold your feet to the fire on some. Come on, Jake. Like first of all, let me see here. Because I played it on the other freestyle and it's like. I think it's the B sides freestyle where you say like you see how they do? See how they do. Mike Brown and Freddie Gray, right? What he said. But we done with choking. We go and turn style. I'm not your token or whatever. It's like certain things, certain things. It just reminds me of why I'm not idolizing homie. You heard? [00:35:15] Speaker B: You heard. [00:35:15] Speaker A: I could do a hell of an impression of homie, and I kind of noticed his mannerisms, and I appreciate a lot of the work and the art that he's put out there, but it'd be certain things that he'd be saying where I'd be like, scratching my head a little bit. Now, mind you, he could just be. And I'm not making any excuses for him, but a victim of. A victim of the game or the system that we call capitalism. Now, there's no. Again, no excuses for him. However, I don't believe in none of these. This is gonna come and save us y', all anytime soon. So that's where I'll package it at. Like, I don't hold him in no high regard, and I don't think that he's holier than thou. I think this is a brother that seen squalor and. And struggle in Brooklyn and then found a way to. To get him and his family up out of that. I just pray that I'm more selfless. I mean, and again, listen, he's talking about bringing people home from the Fed, changing laws and stuff. So he has done plenty for the community and stuff like that. But it just brings you back to the age old argument of is, are there any ethical billionaires out there? What system is it that we're living in? And stuff like that. So with Jay starting off the freestyle the way they did, they say I'm a target, it's a target. Oh. Or I said that I sell out. And I did sell out. I sold Yankee Stadium the hell out. Like, okay, bro, let's stop deflecting. Okay? Let's address was, you know, what you're being addressed for. Like, all of that. All of that stuff was sidestepping. In other words, so I gotta hold Jay's feet to the fire with that, you know? Okay, so this is from the B side, this from the B side freestyle. And this is similar to some of the lines that he was saying in his target freestyle. Listen. Listen to this, y'. All. I don't take no checks. I take my respect. Pharrell even told me to go with the safest bet. Jimmy Iovine offered a safety net Google. Excuse me, my fault, y'. All. Jimmy Ivine offered the safety net Google dangled around the crazy check. I feel like YouTube is the biggest culprit. The niggas pay you a 10 for what you see. Supposed to get no die for equal pay, right? You know, when I work, I Ain't your slave, right? You know, I ain't shucking and jiving like, you know what he said. You know I ain't shucking and jiving and high fiving. You know, this ain't back in the days, right? But I could. But I can't tell. Like the way they killed Freddie Gray, right? Shot down Mike Brown, how they did Trey, right? So that part right there was like, yo, Jay is shouting out these names and keeping these names alive. And then the next line, and this is artistic, you know, freedom. But the next line, let them. He said, but I can't. Y' all just listen to this. But I can't tell. Like the way they killed Freddie. Excuse me? But I can't tell, like the way they killed Freddie Gray, right? Shot down Mike Brown. How they did Trey, right? Let them continue choking. We gonna turn style. I ain't your token. Now, granted, in the moment, when is hearing that for the first time, we. [00:38:43] Speaker B: Oh, [00:38:47] Speaker A: what do you say? What do you say? But when you break that down, what do you what? Let them continue choking. We going to turn style. I ain't your token. And, you know, anyways, y' all feel me? It's not no disappointment with Jay, but I do got to hold his feet to the fight. I ain't got to keep it honest around here. I wasn't feeling that. And that goes into me playing that Tupac interview at the beginning of the show. It also goes to my point from last couple weeks about music being black people's superpower, of course. And also my point with Ms. Lauryn Hill when she was on that BET stage, and the humanity that she displayed consistently displays in wanting to see our people do better and get better. And it's not to say that Jay doesn't want to see that, but I gotta stop making excuses. And like, for. For different things. Like, granted, it's. I asked the question several, several, several over times ago. Several, several episodes ago. And it is, would you prefer to be considered an entrepreneur or a capitalist? And I'll even go further, further to say a successful entrepreneur or a capitalist. A successful capitalist. Which one would you prefer the title of? And that's the purpose for me asking that question. Entrepreneur has more of a community connotation to me, more of a community building, group economics type of word association than capitalist. Whereas selfishness and greed and those are the words that I think of whenever I think of capitalists. So, you know, again, I just asked that question and put that question out there to the community or whatnot. It's My, you know, one of my few things that critiques that I would have with regards to Jay Z. Now, as far as the show goes though, as far as I'm trying to think if I should play the Dame Hate, but I'm not even gonna really give that any light right now unless we're going to be laughing at it. But as far as the show goes in the rollout, Immaculate. All right. Immaculate. I definitely shout out to my twin. So I was there vicariously. My twin sister was up there. But the pop ups with the merch, I saw like a little vendor village or a merch village as well that they had outside of there. But the pop up situation where it looked like a train station and had all this stuff in there, that's just a great way to celebrate yourself, honestly. And he mentioned a couple weeks ago in an interview that he's going on offense. So this is what that looks like. You know, this is simply what that looks like. The, the pop ups again, the like the whole JZ30 experience. In other words, he had New York on fire this past weekend. So people went to, you know, there was all three shows to go to. You had a reasonable doubt show, a blue print show, I believe, blueprint show, and then also extra inning show where he bought out a lot of guests and stuff like that. Some highlights from the weekend that I saw. Definitely Blue Ivy playing the piano for feeling it super tough. Right. You know, Beyonce coming out there, of course, a lot of his reconciliation over the years that he does. I can appreciate that. So seeing Jazzo on the stage, everything like that. Now listen, like, let's stop. There was before I played Dane because I. I am going to play it now. Now that I think about it, I am going to play this hate from Dane Bass. But before I play that though, you have to understand there was a video released with Dame. Oh my gosh. It was released on Dame Dash's page. First of all. Oh, I didn't get my. Yeah, it was released on his page and he's. It's an AI thing of him running on the stage while Jay Z's performing and he. He's running on the stage and then he gets caught up by law enforcement, which has on the back of their law enforcement jackets, child support enforcement or something like that. It. Again, it's. It's weird. It kind of. I don't know, It's. It's very weird. I'm gonna play it real quick, but this is totally AI horrible. This is like scary what Dame Dash has become. Why is he even. But anyways, it said like, oh, my gosh, that's horrible. Now I want to find. I'm trying to find a interview just recently that he did. Oh, first, here's the roots picnic. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Everything was terrible. No one wants to dress like that. No one wants to look like a broccoli face with. With a. Mixed with a goat or. Or. Or goofy. No one wants to do that. Jay was aspirational. People wanted to be like him. So, Jay, at Yankee Stadium, I'm giving you an order. Cut that hair off. I want you to get a Caesar. I want you to wear the baseball hat to the side some Thames. But we want to see the old j. We don't want to see this version of you, bro. [00:44:39] Speaker A: You know, Dame, we don't want to see this version of you. What are you talking about? Dame, we don't want to see this version of you, bro. Now I will say Jay Z, he cut the hair, right? He popped out in the crew. But Dame Dash still has something to say with regards to that. I gotta find this. I. I have to find this short. But let me see here. Just give me one quick second, and I'm gonna pull up what Dame said about this. So before I play this, I just want to say a quick prayer to the Lord that I never get to these levels of hate in my life. Please continue to bless me with gratitude, Lord, that I never have be blinded and so just covered and saturated in this type of hate that it. It comes off and emits this type of energy. All right? Amen. But let me go ahead and play this. All right? This is Dame talking. Following Jay Z's Yankee Stadium shows the [00:45:47] Speaker B: obvious that the hair thing really with him because he had, you know, a scripted Beyonce in his hair twice. First of all, my girl doesn't ever cut my hair. You got to get a shape up. I'm not getting no haircut in the bleachers with no mirrors. Like, who does that? So why is it that you keep flexing this girl like, we know that's your girl. God damn, we know she's your girl. That's been what it's been the whole time? It's okay. You with Beyonce, I bet she cut your hair. She touches you and all that. It doesn't look real. Pause. It just looks cringe because it's so unnatural. It would have been better in a barbershop, but we don't even go to the barbershop. We always have a barber come to us. You know what I mean? [00:46:28] Speaker A: I don't even Know why I'm playing the applause? The thing is because it's so baffling. But he said, he says a bunch of things. First you wanted him to get his hair cut. Then the fact that he got his wife to cut his hair in the stands. A problem or whatnot that he says admits. We don't go to barber shops. We have people come and cut, you know, our hair for us or whatever. It just. Again, why is it bothering you so much, D? He was like. He was like, we already know that's your girl. Damn. I mean, come on. [00:47:04] Speaker B: Damn. [00:47:09] Speaker A: So, no, that is. It's just hilarious. It's. It's hilarious. But at the same time, it is sad to see the downfall of some of the New York titans of hip hop and where. Where they. Where they are 30 years later. I will say, physically speaking, Jay Z looks amazing as far as, you know, skin looking great, looks in shape, physically fit, all of that. Very healthy as he. As he typically looks. But, you know, yeah, I had to play that hate real quick from. From Dame because it's. It's unbased. It's. It's crazy. It's crazy. And it looks like. Okay, yeah, it looked like way no way. No. Just dropped a video that's titled Dame Dash reaches his final level of hate for Jay Z. Salute to Wayne. Oh, brotherly love to Wayno. Y' all check out his video on YouTube, please. But I can't believe some of this stuff. I can't believe that we're living in the now with this stuff happening. This is crazy. Okay, gather myself, man. Gather myself. But yeah, so, yeah, I. I don't even have no salute to give with that stuff. Like the. Just as a recap real quick for the Yankee Stadium shows, I, you know, wish I was in a position to. To do so or to do that. Like as far as going patronize the show and go to the show. Just wasn't able to this time around. Right. At the same time, no salute also to J. Cole. He kicked off the fall off tour here in Charlotte and then Chris Brown and Usher, they definitely had kicked off their tour. So they was out in D.C. i believe, this past weekend. Salute to them as well, certainly. So, you know, I just had to bring that up. It's. It's looking kind of it. Yeah, that looks crazy. That looks crazy. Dane. I don't know what else to say with that. That looks crazy. I'm trying to go over a couple of other things. I think we are going to have some high star bars this week. Let Me see here. As a matter of fact, what I'll do is this week we're going to continue the. I'll continue the second and third verse of Changes Fly High Style bars for the week and whatnot. So, see, I'll have to get this together. Hold on real quick, y'. [00:49:38] Speaker B: All. [00:49:38] Speaker A: Give me one. Thank you for joining us for our newest installment of Classical High Star Wars. So this week comes from the poet laureate Tupac Amaru Shakur. Right. We've already heard the first stanza of his poetic work, Changes, but we'll finish with the second and third stanzas. I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to racist. We under. I wonder what it takes to make this one better place. Let's erased. Let's erase the wasted. Take the evil out the people. They'll be acting right. Cause both black and white are smoking crack tonight. And the only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real. Time to heal each other. And although it seems heaven sent. We ain't ready to see a black president. Little did you know, Tupac, it ain't a secret. Don't conceal the fact. The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacks. But some things will never change. Try to show another way. But you staying in the dope game now, now tell me what's a mother to do? Being real don't appeal to the brother. And you, you gotta operate the easy way. I made a G today. But you made it in the sleazy way. Selling crack to the kids, I gotta get paid. Well, hey, that's the way it is. That's just the way it is. It's time for us as a people to start making some changes. Let's change the way we eat. Let's change the way we live. And let's change the way we treat each other. You see, the old way wasn't working. So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive. And still I see no changes. Can a brother get a little peace? It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East. Instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on drugs. So the police can bother me. And I never did a crime I'd have to do. But now I'm back with the facts. Giving it back to you. Don't let them jack you up. Back you up. Crack you up and pimp smack you up. You gotta learn to hold your own. They get jealous when you see. When they see you with your Mobile phone to this day saying, but tell the cops they can't touch this. I don't trust this. When they try to rush, I bust this. That's the sound of my tool? You say it ain't cool. My mama didn't raise no fool. And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped? And I never get to lay back. Cause I always gotta worry about the paybacks. Some punks that I roughed up way back. Coming back after all these years, that's the way it is. Salute to the brother, Tupac Amaru Shakur. Salute my brother. Appreciate you. So, yeah, we're gonna show love. Show love. I star Classical bar. Classical High Star Bars is back. You heard? Salute again. Thank you, Tupac. I actually performed that. I'll give that story another day for another time. Reb's heard it enough. But anyways, we're gonna go ahead and move forward. I guess I'll go ahead and move forward to brotherly love.
