Look, listening back to last week's episode, first and foremost, we've completed 24 hours. Officially, 24 hours of overtime. Excuse me. Again, that chance. Episode three, it's broken three different segments, but we put in the work. All right, 24 hours of overtime completed. Next milestone will be 40 hours of overtime. All right? Put in that work. Secondly, how should we do this? How should we start this, y'? All? How should we start this? Like this. Yo, I just want to say, first of all, Don't make me get nasty. Don't make me up. Okay? So let's make some noise real quick. Spring 2006, Line Omega Side 5 Fraternity Incorporated at Claflin University Lambda Sigma Chapter. Okay? That would happen to be my chapter in my line. I turned 20, 20 years in the frat on March 3rd, y' all so definitely want to salute you. Know what I'm saying? All my brothers. I guess I'll bleep out your last name. But my brother, my lb, Al Sawdo. All right. My Trey Obina Glock. All right, George. All right. Had. Excuse me. Farai Mamuka. All right. And Ronnie Williams, and of course, myself, DJ Hot Style. We go with Jerome. Desert Eagle, you heard. So salute. Shout out to my line, y' all boys, man. Happy 20 years. All right. All right. I would tone that down a little bit. You know, I gotta tone that down a little bit because I'm a member [00:05:19] Speaker C: of OS Omega Sci Fi fraternity, so I gotta represent. [00:05:24] Speaker A: All right. Moving forward, though, again, last week's episode, listening to it, and toward the end. It wasn't toward the end, was it? Toward the end? I was probably when I was reading the email from Rebuild, listening back and stuff like that, and just want to make it clear my stance on everything regarding foundational black and where I'm at with who I am. I'm staying 10 toes on who I am. And I've also, again, grown up and come up in the diaspora, if you will, out in Queens, New York, is a potpourri of culture. So I have love for all of my Caribbean and African brothers and sisters. Just wanted to make. Bring awareness to some of the flagrancy that we receive. In other words, whenever I was reading Ari B's email and we were alluding to that stuff, so I was listening back and thought that maybe I should address it. You know, Revisions is a perfect time to address those type of things. So that's, you know, where we're. We're at with that. Outside of that, I enjoyed the episode tremendously. I did have to relax a little bit. Okay. Another thing to address. Blood pressure raised a little bit. All right. Not. Not exclusively from that episode, per se, but we'll be transparent and send out some early brotherly love here. So. Love. So our. All of our servicemen and service women that are, you know, preparing to go to combat for this country, we just wanted to show love. [00:07:18] Speaker C: It don't show nothing. [00:07:19] Speaker A: It don't cost nothing to show a. So we just wanted to show love to y', all. Certainly. All right. I got some family and stuff like that that's enlisted, so that may have contributed to some of some of my health issues as far as BP wise. Right. So black men, let's go ahead and definitely get checked out there, make sure that we're on top of this stuff. But I'm trying to regulate my blood pressure. You know, a man woo signs and a lot and all of that relaxing, staying away from social media. And I want to feed myself too much of everything going on. Of course, if you guys are not aware, but we are in conflict right now. So, you know, it's been. It's been a rough time. I mean, we prepared for this here. I believe with this community just kind of with, you know, some of our talking points and stuff. Maybe perhaps not a war like environment, but we're prepared for. For it. Again, you know, righteous. We stand in your righteousness. That's all I have to say. I hope that's not confusing anyone, but, you know, prayers again and immense love to all of our servicemen and women. I was going to hold that for our brotherly love segment. That's at the end of the episode. That so? Yeah, we're not doing all of that officially. It'll cost nothing to show, You know, for this nation and for the Constitution. Let me just say that and be clear with that. All right, so let's go ahead and while we're here, we'll go ahead and move forward here. Let me see. [00:09:17] Speaker C: Is that Prince McKee? [00:09:18] Speaker A: Come here, Prince. What's today's mathematics, yo? [00:09:22] Speaker D: No disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. Build, destroy the builders. 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 of supreme harmony. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:09:45] Speaker D: Peace, God. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Come on, sir. [00:09:47] Speaker C: Do the knowledge. [00:09:49] Speaker A: I know you gonna dig this. All right, so let's take a look here. What we got this week. I got a couple of texts from actually the bros. Definitely shout out to Taz, brotherly love To Taz, brotherly love to Bling Lil E. Let me see here. Start off here with a quote from Taz. The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind. I love that awesome, awesome quote. That reminds me of conversation that I've had this past week with my brother. Brotherly love to Madison out there. What up, bruh? Hold on. Because it's my dog too. He heard. I believe he heard the most recent episode, but he's also been going through just life changing events. And he reminded me over the phone of the prayer of serenity. And if you know, if you all are familiar with that or not. Let's see here. So, yeah, he reiterated with me the prayer of serenity, of course, which is, God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change, the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. So that was a reminder to me, certainly, of that. What's has this quote there. The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind. Like, let me control what I can control and remain calm. Right. So a couple others from cousin Jerome here. We got. Okay, this one is from Martha Graham. Great dancers are not great because of their technique. They are great because of their passion. All right, and also this one comes from The Bible, Corinthians 13, verses 4, 4 through 5. But very, very appropriate. Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast, is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. Thank you so much for that, cousin Jerome. All right. It's very appropriate, again, as we see a lot of things that are the antithesis, if you will, of love out here. So just be aware. Be aware. Keep your head on a swivel. You know what I'm saying? But thank you again, cousin Jerome. Thank you, Chaz Bling, everybody else. Appreciate y'. All. I know Sock. He's got some. Some wisdom. I'm gonna allow him to share that with us next week. Here. Let's see here. All right, wanted to go ahead and move forward, finish the building wisdom. Want to move forward. We don't have any emails or any voicemails this week, so perfect time to plug it, though. So if you'd like to email the show, definitely make sure that you email the show. Mandatory ot704gmail.com Mandatory ot704gmail.com We'll read the email on air, of course, show love and respond. And then also, if you just want to call up, leave a random voicemail. 704-781-7011 is the number. 704-781-7012 is the number to make sure you do that and also make sure you follow us on social media at mandatory ot. Okay. Appreciate y' all moving forward, though. Little out for lunch segment this week. Wanted to go ahead and get into that, all that jazz. I've been kind of minding. Well, I don't know. I ain't been minding my business at work. There is a couple random things at work. I got to start jotting those down. Get better at that. But as far as this week out for lunch segment, it's two separate things we wanted to go ahead and isolate or highlight. Okay. First, raising canes down in Rock Hill, South Carolina. All right, Raising canes. Shout out to y'. All. I salute if you haven't had raising canes before. Similar thing. Zaxby's sands the wings. Okay, hold on. I gotta get the boom ready. Yeah, we're like. We're running. Zaxby's sands the wings. Okay. Huh? Anybody? Huh? This guy over here. Huh? Okay. But yeah, Zaxby's without wings. Got toes, vibes, coleslaw, fries. So that's essentially what raising canes is. They've got their own signature sauce as well. Culture around raising canes. So putting that up there in Rock Hill, that was a big deal. Just came away with the. They've got different size boxes of how many tenders and how much side you get. And I think we got like, the Kainiac box or like some kind of big box, right? Six tenders in it, fries and all that stuff. Anyways, I digress. That was the first part. First half of our Alpha lunch segment. Second half, Ari B. She. She did. She did a thing. If I had to. If I had to present conjecture. Excuse me. If I had to present conjecture to how she prepared this, first of all, was crispy Brussels. All right, y', all. So with the crispy Brussels, let's just. Let's give it up for that. First and foremost, because I. I air fryer, more than likely. I'm sorry, I don't Reb. I just want to share this with the community, but air fryer, more than likely, the way that it was crisp up, but there was mushrooms and garlic and onions. Do they want to say, yo, chef's kiss. Chef's kiss. I don't. I wanted. Like, it would have been disrespectful, but I wanted to ask, yo, did you purchase this at Longhorn and package it as if you cooked it? You heard? You heard. That's what I. I was prepared to do that, but I didn't want to disrespect. I didn't want to disrespect. So salute. Definitely salute to Reb. Appreciate those Brussels. How you did those, please. Let's run that back. Let's do that again. But, yeah, let's. Let's go to work. You know, it's enough dancing around. If y' all know me outside of defending knowledge, if you will, or defending intelligence, intellect, I also got to defend hip hop, hip hop. So let's go ahead and see if we can tackle this responsibly. Okay? So Saha to Prince. I need you to come to my office. Real quick, brother. All right, we gotta try to handle this civilly, try to speak some sense. Give me one moment here. Yeah, Saha, Come holla at me, big dog. All right, all right. So Saha tweets out on February 11th. I grew up in an era where your lyricists were from the streets. Now it's a bunch of straight A students who dropped out of college, they sophomore year to be rappers. You can tell they don't have any life experiences, they're just good with words. All right, so that's one. The conversation continued a little bit here where Saha goes. I'm cool with a couple college dropout rappers, but I miss when authentic lyrics like Jay Z, Nas, dmx, Ti Outkast, etc were mainstream and not just kids who were just good in literature class. Yay. Was the original, not as all the main street rappers, mainstream rappers these days. Goes back to last week, of course. Does this need to be said? Does this need to be said now and does this need to be said now by me? No, no and no. But again it's, I think it's short sighted and lazy. It's a argument that I feel I, I kind of see where he was attempting to go with his argument. But it falls short because you have intellects all through every era of hip hop and you have people that have champion. I'm not, not to say that he's not championing intelligence, but we have to get out of our heads that street means one thing, I think, or that when we're eluding the street, what are we really talking about? Are we talking urban, are we talking our community like our neighborhoods that we grew up in the hood? Are we saying that or are we saying like the trenches? And it's always like street is indicative of committing crimes or having crimes in a proximity close to you. And that's not, that's not what hip hop is, that's not what rap is like. Yes, there was, there was things going around adjacent. You had your drug dealers, you had your robbers or your stick up kids, you had all of these different things happening, fights even. But all of those were elements that were happening around. The culture is not necessary pieces or keystones of the culture that made it up. So again I think it's a short sighted statement from Sahai. And then it gets, it gets, see here it gets surgical with some of the comments of course, but people are talking about, they took, you know, his statement right then and there and took the college part, started talking about, excuse me, college. So let's see here Glasses Malone has been famous and on the record for defining hip hop as street open. Excuse me, street urban culture personified through the elements. So he's saying, like, hip hop without street urban culture is just pop music. Every time that Glasses words it like that, it's always again, like an undertone of. Of like street. Where. What do you mean? You know exactly what the streets like. What, what hours had to be put in outside necessarily to be a part of that. Right. One of the comments says street urban culture sounds way better than the streets. My belief is it's five elements to this thing of ours. I get the recent tug of war. I don't get why it isn't being settled over rhythm, words over wax. I like that comment. Again, it focuses back on the elements. And let me see here, there's a couple more comments where, see here, we're going to slide over the artists that completed their formative years at performing schools. Yes. So we're just going to slide all over all of the artists that completed their formative years at performing schools from the mid-60s up to now. You know, so those performing arts schools included your Jay Z's and DMXs and outcasts as Outcasts. As he mentioned, he's in high school. And a lot of those. Those gentlemen. Some of those gentlemen dropped out, but a lot of them graduated. Now, we do have the level of college students that I wanted to discuss. Public Enemy, I believe they went to school in Long Island. Chuck D and Flavor Flav. No, no, they went to Adelaide University, Adelphi University, epmd, Eric Paris, Megan Dallas. They went to school and went to college. De La Soul Tribe Called Quest. But more recently, you know, you've got different artists that. Excuse me, that also went to school and went to college. Let me see here. Killer Mike, Big Crit. Give me one second here. All right, Guru, he went to Morehouse College. Let me see here. Also Guru. He was the first black man that was appointed to the Boston Municipal Court of Massachusetts. Grew up, of course, in the best schools out in Boston. DJ Premier came up to New York from Houston. So that's where Gangstar formed again from that Boston, Houston connection in New York, however, he was a college graduate. So salute to to him again, Killer Mike. Let me get some other names, because Rick Ross, I know he went to Albany State. I want to say. I want to get some of these names. Hold on, this is important. All right, this is a short list because I didn't have time to do all of the research, of course, but you got Plies. Of course, he attended the University of Central Florida. I believe he attended sometime did some time at Miami University. You know, of course they had diddy with Howard University, where he did some time there. Dropped out. But let's not even talk about that. Let's talk about rappers. Right, see here. Kanye, Chicago State University, dropped out. You know, of course he mentioned Kanye. Ice Cube went to college. David Banner went to Southern University. Ludicrous. Attended Georgia State University. Childish Gambino went to nyu. Maybe proven his point with Childish Gambino. Okay, but two chains, Virginia State University. All right. With the degree as well. Of course. J. Cole, who was target, was St. John's Megan thee, stallion, Texas Southern. But again, if we go old school, you've got your. Let's. Let's talk Rick Ross. I think, like I said, that was Albany State. But between attending college and promoting college, it was something that, you know, higher education was still something that I believe would strive for. And I just. Again, I don't see. I don't like that. The message that Sahai is sending with that and the polarization that it makes, unnecessarily, it polarizes the game unnecessarily and pits, quote, unquote, intellectuals against street dudes or college students versus street dudes. So it's a fight. That's his oldest time, y'. All. You look at school days, the movie school days, Lawrence Fishburne, his character, and they running up on, you know, the guys while they at the chicken spot or whatnot. Like, yeah, it's. It's corny. It's corny and it's very divisive. But yeah, while I saying that again, Rick Ross played football, Albany State University. So college and attending college. Although I understand where size coming from as far as hip hop, granting opportunities to guys that were high school dropouts, right? There's people. The point is that hip hop granted opportunity to those that were nice, period. All right? It wasn't about streets are not street. This. That is always a level or barrier of entry on talent and spitting and being nice. So can you compel or rock the crowd? Oh, my boy, my bruh, Sauce Money, one of the illest street rappers out Rockefeller, he went to Benedict University. Bone Crusher went to Benedict. All right, so all of that college and college kids, it make. Make it seem like Saha saying that college kids ruin hip hop or he misses the hip hop where college kids wasn't running things or something. And it's a. It's a poor, poor message to send out, period. That's all. So. Yes, I get that together again, brother. You was. You were spitting. You were spitting against J. Cole. You had some fire bars, some high star bars. We may get into those a little bit later. You know, I want to show you some love. But that was. That was Basura, man. The take was Basura. And it was very irresponsible as a take, bro. That's all I'm saying. All right, random thought. I wanted to move forward with this random thought for y'. All. Hold on, Let me see here. We got what we got. What we got. Oh, see, I know the. There's a famous quote out there. The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled. So I recently run across a post where it said, like, the greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that it didn't exist. Or. Yeah. That it didn't exist. He didn't exist. And so the. The quote itself, it was. It was extended. So it said the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. But he's real. Sorry, should clarify that. I'm sorry. The greatest trick in the world is convincing. The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Yet. He is real. Oh, He is real. But anyways, just wanted to drop that little nugget as some random. Not random. Random thoughts. Random thoughts. Just think about it. Random, random. All right. He is real. Ah. No comments out there. Okay. All right, just checking. Just shacking. Just checking. Salute again to all of our brothers and sisters. I didn't even get none of the rap sisters that have gone to school, Saha. But again, you disrespecting the whole populace of the rap community, and that's, you know, it's just uncalled for. It's unnecessary. So salute to all of the rappers and artists that have matriculated in some sort of higher education, you know, whether it's past high school or post tertiary. All right, shout out to y'. All. Is it that time? I mean, about 30 minutes. I don't know how I was gonna approach this or how I'm going to approach this. We're in rapper college, showing respect type of area right now. There is a rapper whose parents attended Saint Augs University in Raleigh, North Carolina. All right? Dreamville Fest a few years ago in Raleigh, my frat brother and myself at the time, my frat brother was the president restoring Saint August University back from losing accreditation and going through different financial issues and stuff. Restoring that school at university back to grace. All right? And that Dreamville Fest. He asked the alumni, the esteemed alumni if they could talk to their son about him getting on stage, right? And offering some money, giving out some scholarship money from Saint Augs. All right? My. My frat brother did that. Okay? Promoted higher education. What the does Yachty come around and do on the last day of Black History Month, y'? All this out here talking crazy about Sugar Hill Gang. Come on, man. What's wrong with you, man? What's wrong with you? First and foremost, I want to say and give my bias out there, all right? Deaf Squads, Sugar Hill. Excuse me, Death Squads, Rappers Delight, Deaf Squad says Eric Sermon, Red man, and Keith Murray. Deaf Squad's Rappers Delight was the. One of my first rap songs I fell in love with. All right? It's got to be around 1996, 1997. But talking about word for word, learned the whole thing. So this is a direct interpolation of Rappers Delight by Sugar Hill Gang. So they were, you know, they were just flipping the. The lyrics and making it modern at that time. So the things that Yachty's saying, if y' all haven't heard, you've been under a rock. I'm not really replaying or giving any credence to what he did in Black History Month. But he was on Cosmic Kev, the white man's platform, and he essentially said that what Rappers Delight and Sugar Hill Gang were spitting was nonsense. Let's just isolate that right there. Because he was. He was all over the place with his point. Let's isolate that right there. He highlighted the hip hop. The hibbit did the hibbit did the hip hip hoppy don't stop Rocket to the bang bang boogie set up, jumps the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie DB and he thinks that that wasn't saying anything. Yeah, Tripping. Yes. What are we talking about? Yeah, what are we talking about, first of all? Now, that element, though, that's to rock the crowd, all right? That's the element to rock the crowd that's in the bridge. But even with that being in the bridge, people that think that that's mumble or that he's just saying gibberish right there. That's not gibberish. I said a hip hop. A hippie. The hippie do the hip hip hoppy. You don't stop Rocket to the bang bang boogie. Up jumps the boogie to the rhythm of the boogity beat. Come on. And then goes right into a rap where they're enunciating clearly. A clear narrative in a story, Right? So what are we talking? Matter of fact? Not even a story, but an allegory. So you got a beginning, middle, and end and a message throughout the story that you can pull from it. And you saying that that was nonsense. Are we really kidding? Do. Do I need to break down those lyrics for y'? All? I'm saying not. Not even for y'. All. I don't even mean to disrespect the community. But for somebody like. Like. Like Yachty, do I have to break down the lyrics of that song? Why do you. Why do they got to catch the stray, is my question? Like, stay in your lane, Yachty. Yachty. Yachty's whack to me. I'm gonna just go ahead and say that. Let's go ahead and get that out the way. All right, he's whack bars wise. He peaked at the J. Cole song. All right? You peaked at the J. Cole song in the. In the Drake jumbotron popping ish. Popping joint. All right? You peek there, bro, but you whack bars are whack. Your freestyle was whack. You sound like Stewie from Mad tv. Shut up. Sound corny, man. You mumbling. You talking about how to make a phone. Cause I ain't got to do it on my own. Shut up, man. So anyways, yeah, I just. Again, it's back to the defense of real hip hop. I just don't like the way Yachty snubbed his nose at everything that came before him. This irresponsible is not the way that you. That's just not the way that. That you become a student and a steward of. Of your craft or of your industry. Something that's afforded you a life that you couldn't have imagined. So, yeah, man, like, shame on. Shame on Yachty with that. With that take. I just. Again, I'm gonna do this. Hold on. All right, so I. And I. I don't want to harp on this, but we gotta show homage, because this was wild, yo. And he. And he pissed me off. Yeah, I'll just be real with y', all, so. All right, so again, let's read. Let's revisit the bridge, all right? Or the chorus, rather. I said a hip hop. Okay? The name of the thing that we do, brother. All right. What's wrong with you, brother? Hip is so that we stay current with everything. Hop is the movement. All right? I said a hip hop. The hippie hippie to the hip, hip hop. And you don't stop the rocking. You don't stop the rocking to the Bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat now what you hear is not so I'm going to say this stuff fast, okay? Because I don't want to spend all your time on this real quick. But consider this kind of high star bars for the week as well. Excuse me, y' all, consider this high star boss for the week as well. All right? I know you gonna dig this. Now what you hear is not and if you home, you could wrap this along now what you hear is not a test I'm rapping to the beat it's just me, the groove and my friends we're gonna try to move your feet Now I am the wonder mic and I like to say hello A to the black, to the white to the red, to the brown and the purple and yellow but first I got shout out to Cheryl Poison, because if she's out there listening right now, I noticed she's spitting this word for word. But anyways. But first I gotta bang bang the. Excuse me. I got a bang bang the boogie to the boogie Set up jumps the boogie to the bang bang boogie let's rock you don't stop Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock. Well, so far you heard my voice, but I brought two friends along. And next on the mic is my man Hank. Come on, Hank, sing that song, RP Hank. But see, you gotta also understand the story behind the song Rappers Delight. That's why it was so egregious that Yachty chose this, because it is not. It's the first recorded, you know, commercial song, if you will, of hip hop. But hip hop had been around for about seven years up to that point, okay, on, like, on a radar or on somebody's radar. So in New York, in the Bronx or whatnot, or in Queens, it was already popping in the 70s. But right there, late at the break of the 80s decade, in 79, they recorded it and sold it. That was a game changer. Okay, so anyways, you got these three dudes, pizza shop workers and. And taxi drivers or whatever. And yes, we gonna make a rap group, sign them to a horrible deal. But anyways. All right, so now, Hank, what you got to say? Hank, check it out. All right, before Hank, let's just hear what Grandmaster Cass has to say about this real quick. Y' all hold on. Let's see what he has to say about this. [00:39:09] Speaker E: For real. [00:39:10] Speaker C: I'm gonna say it the way I made it up. I'm C, A, S, A and O, V A and the rest is Fly I got a PhD in mixology of that fact you can't deny I don't rock the mic or play my jams like others don't that is true so listen, let me tell you who I am and what he do well, I'm six foot one and I'm loads of fun and I dress to the teeth you say I got more clothes than a pimp Got hoes than a dress so casually I got bodyguards got two big jaws of that show nut ain't the whack I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac I got a business crib in which I live with carpet Walter Walls I got a color TV so I can see the next play basketball. [00:40:04] Speaker A: All right, so slow hip hop history. That was Grandmaster Kaz. His version of. It's really his response at the time. He had to defend himself because Big Bang Hank stole his rhymes and used it on the track Rappers Delight. So again, if we're going through Big Bank Hanks verse, y' all heard you. You see how Grandmaster Cass was kind of singing it at the beginning? Ca yes A N O V A and the rest is fly. So again he said, like the thing that Big bank kind of switched up a little bit. You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously. I got bodyguards. I got two big cars that definitely ain't the whack. I got a Lincoln Continental and the sunroof Cadillac. Yachty's trying to clown like the cadence and everything like that. But these guys got more musical, you know what I'm saying? Study in them and musical knowledge than. Than a lot of it. All right? So again, I got a color TV so I can see the Knicks play basketball. Hear me talking about checkbooks, credit cards.

Now I'm feeling the highs, you feeling the lows. The beast start getting into your toes. You start popping your fingers and what? Stomping your feet, moving your body to you and then bang. Now let's take a pause real quick and let's give some love. Audio journal of an 80s, baby. First of all, see, I watched out there. Let's give some love to Chic Good times. Huh? What? Huh? Who was outside? I wasn't. By the time I was outside or riding in my dad's car, that song had already been out for a decade or so. But shout out to Chic Good time. All right. Stomping your fingers and snapping your feet. Moving your body to the short side. Beating and dang. Start doing the freak, I said right out of your seat. Start throwing your hands right in the air. You rock into the rhythm. Shake your derriere. These are all clear words. Rocket to the beat without a care with a sure shot MCs for the affair. Now I'm not as tall as the rest of the game. But I rap to the beat just the same. Describes itself for the ladies. I got a little face, a pair of brown eyes. All I hear to do with ladies is hypnotized singing on and on and on, on and on A beat don't stop until the break of dawn. I sing on and on and on, on and on. Like a hot ready to pop that pop that pop dibble dibble pop the pop pop. You don't dare stop. If there was any line, Yachty, you could have chose that one, brother. All right. Where we was popped up. Pop pop. You don't dare stop. Come up. But see you not even you not even versed enough in this song, my brother, to pick out the. I mean, the gibberish that would have stood tall in your argument. You couldn't even do that because. Because it's too much substance in here, brother. All right, Now, I guess by now you can take a hunch and find that I am the baby of the bunch. But that's okay. I still keep it in stride. Because all I'm here to do is just to Wiggle your behind Singing on and on and on on and on all right, listen, I'm gonna freak you here. I'm gonna freak you there. I'm gonna freak you out of this atmosphere Move you out of this atmosphere I want like Master G, Wonder Mike Wonder Mike kicked it Wonder Mike yeah, Skippity Bebop Bebop Scooby Doo well, guess what, America, we love you.

Said a macaroni sour the peas or mush and the chicken it tastes like. Come on, y', all, this is a narrative, so that's enough. Review of Rap Is Delight, y'. All. I was just really upset with Yachty with that. But that's enough of the review. Y' all get it. Y' all see, we here to defend. All right, but remember how the song ends. But baby Bubble, we're still friends, all right? And there was a couple different stories in there, but just do your research next time. And stop. Yeah, stop. Just stop. Oh, I'm gonna get a front. Yeah, man. 15 minute version one. They was just spitting, spitting bars, man. Something Yachty could never do, man. I mean, I'm trying a rapper. And I made him want a pastor. And they always remember, some people in this world are so poor, all they have is their money. All right? You out there, you got the concrete boys with you looking like your backup singers. And I don't see where the growth is. They, they, they're around you, but you're the person that's speaking in all the interviews. Every time that you speak, you speak with a matter of factness, like, you are the oracle, bro. Just want you to add some humility to that, to that hubris. Balance out that hubris and that ego. My boy, my boy. My brother, my brother, my brother. Yeah, man, balance that out, bro. It's not a good look. All right, so that was Yachty and Saha. I don't know rappers. Y' all been kind of on one this week. So, Yachty, that Just had to go through that for you real quick, brother. Random thought, though. We, again, of course, we are somewhat in conflict right now internationally and as we are domestically. We are. We have our Department of Homeland Secretary, Christy Noem, that has taken the stand and had to answer questions and come before Congress to answer questions with regards to her handling of the Department of Homeland Security. Different funds, taxpayer funds that have been using, used to purchase major jets and things like that. So I want to keep us abreast and aware of that. Frankly speaking again, we protect in peace, protecting mental health. I didn't want to play the clips from the hearing because it's a lot more of the same. A lot more of things that'll get you frustrated. Where these grown ups. Right? These are grown people, right? It's grown. Cannot answer questions that are posed to them. They can't. They can't without jumping on the defensive. Okay. Showing their guilt by doing so, but jumping on the defensive, deflecting, insulting the people that are asking them questions, doing everything and avoiding every question that is ass to them intentionally and doing something else. So I'm not going to play any of those clips. Right? It's. It's really a lot of the same. Y' all can research it. Her last name is Gnome. N like Nancy, O E M like Mary. And a lot of their choices that they made with the big beautiful bill, quote, unquote, whatever, that's the name of it. But a lot of choices that they made was to approve for massive spending in the Department of Homeland Security and also different contracts that were gained by her family as well. She was under oath and would not answer directly to these questions because she knows that she's caught red handed with a lot of these things. Again, I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated beyond belief with all this stuff. I want to see action, whether that be people locked up or whatever. Right. Hurt. I. I don't care at this point. But nevertheless, yeah, because I won't talk too much about that. But I did want to bring up a random thought with y' all real quick. I wanted to express a moment of grace, if you will. I don't know if it's grace. I. I feel indifferent about. I don't. I don't feel any different about it. I don't want to feel. I don't feel indifferent about her. I kind of have a soft spot in my heart, y'. All. For the. [00:50:47] Speaker B: Mr. Chair. Point of order. [00:50:51] Speaker A: Who's. Who's. It's me, Ms. Crockett. [00:50:54] Speaker B: I'm just curious. Just to better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities. Correct? [00:51:06] Speaker A: What now, [00:51:09] Speaker B: Chairman? I make a. I make a motion to strike those words. [00:51:12] Speaker A: I don't think that's a part of it. [00:51:14] Speaker B: I'm trying to find clarification on what quality. Motion to strike. We're not gonna. We're not gonna do this. Look, you guys. [00:51:23] Speaker A: So, yeah, if y' all didn't remember who Marjorie Taylor Greene was, she was the Karen I got into. Desmond Crockett. She threw some insults at Jasmine Crockett. First, I'm not gonna really engage in what the direct insults was. I'm not. Because I wouldn't be accurate. I don't think. I think it may have been about her hair or something. It was. It was towards Jasmine Crockett personal attack. And Jasmine Crockett retorted with that. And ever since then, Marjorie Taylor Greene, she had been like, kind of labeled or stamped as kind of the Karen of the Republicans. Like, all right, we see where she's at with everything. But since. Since something's happened where Marjorie has gotten an epiphany with that epiphany, she. She kind of sees, I'm not going to say the error of her ways, but it seems as if, you know, the president has labeled her a tree, a traitor, and she just wants justice for, I don't know, victims of rape and sexual assault and trafficking. Like, is that so? [00:52:38] Speaker C: Let me work. [00:52:39] Speaker A: Is that so hard? Please, let me work too much to ask for. So while she's doing that, she's being vilified by the Republicans as a traitor to their party. Do we see how problematic this dumbass government is, though? Do we see how problematic it is where you're considered treasonous or. Or it's a traitor, like offense if you go against a party of your nation. So again, two wings on a crooked ass bird. Okay, Y' all hear me clear? Two wings. But nevertheless, I don't know how she could have been considered a traitor going against the Republicans when she was defending the Constitution and defending Americans. At the end of the day, and I'll be frank with y', all, her going against the grain, again, it has garnered her favor with me, those. Those verbal back and forth joustings or whatever like that with Jasmine Crockett, we could leave it at that. You know, again, those verbal personal attacks. I don't want to be Marjorie Taylor Greene's best friend, but I do have grace for her and empathy for the position that she's in, she's on an island by herself, honestly, because it, you know, Democrats don't seem to embracing of her because of how polarizing she was when she was with the Republicans. However, this is the issue again. This is the problem. Why do we have two different like these, these forces being so polarizing, fighting for control of the country where we should all be kind of looking to live harmoniously. But nevertheless, I just wanted to say salute to Marjorie Taylor Greene for living in your truth, standing on principle and doing your best to defend, putting your life on the line to defend these victims. Because that any member of Congress, that's truly what you're doing. Especially at these moments, any of those Republican white members, the Congress or senators, they go against the grain and you go against the regime, you're putting your life in danger. Okay? Just want everybody to understand that. All right, now before we get out of here, I do want to this is kind of a mix between a commercial and High Star Bars this week. All right, Saha, you got booted out. You're gonna have to wait, my brother. All right. It's not all about you, brother. Sorry, not this week. Let's see here. If I could find the okay, I'm going to play these High Star bars for the week is from my guy, Rainy Ohio. He's a member of what's Mero's podcast. Not 7pm in Brooklyn, but the other one, Victory Light. Victory Light podcast with Mero. So I'm gonna go ahead and play this Hostile bars. It's also NBA. Could serve as an NBA commercial as well. So let's go ahead and get into it. [00:56:10] Speaker E: Why so many jalens in the NBA? I think it's way too many jalens in the NBA. Went to sleep and it was 10 jalen's in the NBA. Woke up and now it's 30 jalens in the NBA. We got jalen Smith on the Bulls and Jaylen with a wide playing for the Timberwolves. Think it's a joke, but I'm actually earnest. Tell the truth. That ain't even really scratching the surface. 607 players on a court playing 16 teams. Got a player named Jaylen and it's really two Jaylens on three teams. That's got to be like 50% of the league in the crib trying to figure what it all really means. I know they mama raised them like my son is my king and I could probably recognize them all by facial and I wouldn't be surprised if they was all Biracial look. Why so many jalens in the NBA? I think it's way too many jalens in the NBA. Went to sleep and it was 30 jalens in the NBA. Woke up and now it's 80 jalens. [00:56:58] Speaker A: Detroit. What up, though? [00:56:59] Speaker E: We got Jaylen Hood up on the Lakers, Wilson on the nets. Jalen Smith is on the Pacers. Can't forget Jalen Durant is on the Pistons. Another Jalen out of Sacramento where the kings bridges Harris. Williams on the Thunder about a place. Betsy on where the next one finna come from. My money on New York, the Chicago cities with the most white baby mamas far as I know. And the NFL is even more insane. Dude, you ever seen Jalen Hurst and Speedy in the same room? Next draft, more Jalen's in a fold. And it's all thanks to the legendary Jalen Rose. But it's already way too many jalens in the NBA. Why so many jalens in the NBA? Went to sleep on 600 jalens in the NBA. Now the whole league is Jaylin in the NBA. [00:57:38] Speaker D: NBA. [00:57:44] Speaker A: So salute, salute once again, thank you, Rainy for the highest balls of the week. To answer the question, though, I don't know why there's so many Jalens in the NBA. We played the Thunder last night. The Knicks. We lost. We lost. It was a close game, but we lost. And the. The Thunder got two Jalen Williams on there. Like two Jalen Williams. That's as wild to me. That's wild to me. So, yeah, let's go ahead and move forward. We're gonna go ahead and look to get out of here. Before we do, make sure we show love, D. That sure, man. So definitely wanted to show love out there to Sock. Big Sock. Yo, my brother from another. You know what I'm saying? Salute. Salute. Hold on, let me get my. Hold on. Boom. All right.

All right, see, I'll make sure y' all hit us up. But. And, you know, we'll. We'll make sure that we read it on air, discuss it, and have a good time on air. But in the meantime, I want to end us with something with supreme faith that's in God. This is a prayer that's straight from the heart. May the ego and the hubris never break us apart. And from one brother to another, I just want to say I love you. All right. I appreciate y', all, man, and thank you for kicking it with us. Another hour of mandatory overtime. Peace.
