[00:00:49] Speaker A: Greta the tittle tattle prattled on about the little metal bottle she spat a bit of spittle on the modern brittle cattle in a bitter battle. Hey, hey. Stop questioning my methods. [00:00:58] Speaker C: Okay? [00:00:58] Speaker A: Okay. I was chosen for this task for a very good reason. No. [00:01:04] Speaker B: You're down to mix with DJ High Star in the Ferrari of lamb trucks switching wild lanes Top down screaming knock them N. Then it all changed. Living ghetto fab like my brother named Paul Kane. Somewhere along the way I hate to say we lost shame Grown men peddling gossip of all things I remember when it was rapping a ball playing now the bread and butter is happening in parliament. Oh, man, your name's a big conversation. Max deals for Luka Doncic. Lobbing and eating grip commentating. If you master two skills either dick riding or hating. Just look around the hating and the dick riding is blatant. Tell Mama your ticket to finally lift out of her basement. It's found in one magical word in this engagement and nothing brings that like drama. You might wanna personally, I don't write comments. I write commas. Withdrawals from pictures to pin Draws the fall off they wanna know if this is the end all be all to this rap gang deep I'm a whole new breed for those that wonder who he think he is that thunder at night to wake up the sleepy head. Just when you thought that your boy was completely dead Walked out that tomb like Matthew said that Jesus did With the whole game in his shoulders not even straining I hold it I can spin around my fingers and bow it Guided by the angels. I noticed GO to Christopher Wallace and came in and wrote it first name Jermaine and his go it never once is famous. [00:02:26] Speaker A: All right, all right. [00:02:26] Speaker D: Hold on, hold on. [00:02:29] Speaker A: That's. That's weird. All right, all right. You gonna get me started early. [00:02:32] Speaker E: What's up, y'? All? [00:02:33] Speaker A: What's happening, everybody? What up, what up, what up, what up? What up? Welcome to another episode of Mandatory OT Mandatory overtime. Here to aim at mandatory overtime. Well, first and foremost, I'm your main man, DJ High Star in the place to be. But the aim here at mandatory overtime is for us to recalibrate our definition of manhood and what we define manhood as in our community and we do that through conversations with the community. The community is you guys. Everybody that's here. Simply audio journal of an 80s baby, a social experiment and consistency. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here listening to me for that. I appreciate y', all, okay? I really do. I really do. Don't confuse this with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair. So pull up a chair, like comment, subscribe, share, but most importantly, make some noise, y', all, because your man is here. You heard. Reporting live from the 704, Charlotte, America. What's happening, Charlotte? What up? What up? What we doing? What we doing? 704. [00:03:48] Speaker E: Like that. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Like that. And one thing I could tell you about the 704 this past week. When it's cold outside, you heard, because it's been a little nippy, a tit nippily, if you will. But nevertheless, Charlotte, rest of the world, I hope that everybody is good, Hope everybody is safe after this icy, icy weekend that we had on the east coast here in the States, through the south, you know, the south. And then it rose all the way up through the East Coast. Great weekend of football, I must say. Just give an early shout out to the Patriots and all of that. Like I said, important from Charlotte, America now had to pay a little top dollar for the flights for some of the staff because I got a Russian sound engineer, y', all, in a check one too. A check one too, man. So look, let's go to work. But what I was saying, congratulations to the Patriots. Sorry to Bill Belichick. It seems like I didn't mean to get into sports this early, but it seems like Bill Belichick is catching the bad end of the stick, if you will. For those that don't know, several years back, I want to say maybe four years now or so. Y' all can correct me, of course, in the email. Tom Brady, Bill Belichick parted ways. First it was Tom Brady leaving to go to Tampa Bay from New England from the Patriots. And Bill Belichick, he wasn't brought back. Robert Kraft and Tom Brady have both now have super bowl appearances post marriage, if you will. And Bill Belichick is somewhere in. Somewhere in Chapel Hill being use a freaky ass, you know what I mean? So the. Yeah, yeah. So that, you know, it looks like Bill Belichick didn't win out of the whole thing. It looks like Robert Kraft and Tom Brady kind of, you know, kind of one with that, I guess. But what's going on, y' All. What's up, what's up, what's happening? It's good to see everybody in the building or if you will have it. Have all you have you all join me. I just gotta remember this brotherly love for. For later on. I gotta ran it down, but I do want to do some revisions from last week's episode. I know I had to rush through last week because my sister was in town. I had to get her to the airport. So last week's episode, it may have seemed scattered, you know, to me, and maybe not y', all, but I appreciate everybody that did listen to it and tuned in. However. But this week I did want to make a revision because I was talking a little fast whenever I was referring or alluding to the podcast that I was on out there in Florence with, you know, with L. So DJ Blaze radio show podcast. Y' all know what time it is with them. And again, shout out to be easy and to L for having me on their show. I appreciate it. I'm still trying to get through our episode because again, listening back to my voice to just sound overpowering, kind of cringy, but nevertheless, I also was on Once Upon a Time in Music podcast, and that's with L and Cheryl Poison. Okay, okay. My black ass said Cheryl Noyes one time last week, and I corrected myself by the end of the episode, but I just wanted to give her her flowers because that's. That's my girl, man. That's. That's. That's cuz right there. So Cheryl Poison, y'. All. Not Cheryl Noise. If y' all heard that, that Freudian slip, if you will, last week, however, that's our revisions for the week. I wanted to go ahead and move forward. We're going to go ahead and go to some building wisdom. Y' all know what time it is with that. But let's see here. Let's go ahead. [00:08:02] Speaker B: What's today's mathematics, yo? No disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:08:05] Speaker C: 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. [00:08:25] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:08:26] Speaker C: Peace, God. [00:08:28] Speaker A: Awesome. [00:08:28] Speaker B: Through the knowledge. [00:08:30] Speaker A: I know you gonna dig this. All right, so taking a look here, I wanted to pull up a couple. So I want to introduce y' all to my other big bro or Pro fight bling lil E. Because I'll be sent. I'll be sharing some of his wisdom that he'd be sending as well. Let me see here. One that he sent today says, today, the land you walk will produce blessings. The sky above you will release favor, and the breeze around you will blow peace. Good morning. So you know a great good morning text from. From a dog. All right, this from Taz. It says, no matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up. That's tough. See here. All right, here's another one from Taz. Let time and space be on your side. This does not create distance. It only reveals truth. What's meant to be will be. Nothing is lost. Life is leading the way. Just trust. It's tough. I love that one. Let's see here. I want to go ahead and go to cousin Jerome, man, my dog, Cousin Jerome. Alright, so cousin Jerome sent us some wisdom. Let's see here. No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free. That's from Buddha. Profound. I'll say that again. No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free. Tough. Okay, this next one from cousin Jerome. Men can starve from a lack of self realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. And that's from Richard Wright. It's tough. It's tough. I've got one last one from Nelson Henderson here from cousin Jerome. It says, the true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit. That's profound. All right, let's. Let's unpack that real quick, y'. All. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit. So it speaks to me in a pseudo parent like realm or space where parents definitely want their children to be better than them. Some parents look at it like, oh, you're gonna take care of me when I get older, you know? Yeah, I'm raising a football player, a basketball player, they gonna take care of me. But some parents just listen, you be a doctor, you be a lawyer, do your thing. Just be better than where I was. I'm. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm comfortable. But you do your thing. And then also being a mentor or passing on knowledge and stuff like that, that involves a level of humility or whatnot, unselfishness where you have to give up some game, give up the wisdom, give up the jewels, and not expect the ROI on it necessarily or not expect to. You know, be able to benefit from it. So I love that quote, that last quote. That was tough as well. That was very tough. All right, so go ahead and move forward. I didn't necessarily have any videos for, for building wisdom this week, so we can go ahead and move forward here. So. All right, no emails or voicemails currently, so this would be a perfect time for me to go ahead and plug that to y'. All. If y' all do want to go ahead and engage with the show or whatnot, send us an email here. Mandatoryot704gmail.com Again, that's mandatory. Ot704gmail.com we'll be happy to read the email on air and go ahead and give you some feedback or whatnot. Also call a hotline, 7047-8170-1170-4781, 7011 and we'll make sure that that's played on air as well. Now, all of my partners, my family, friends on the side, they know if they have my personal number, you can shoot me an audio message and I'll play that as well on air. All right? But try to stick to the, you know, try to stick to the hotline. That's what it's there for. 704-781-7011. So real quickly, wanted to go ahead Alpha Lunch this week. Daniel Fast continues, y'. All. Daniel Fast continues for me. We got one more week. Got one more week. I know. I was listening to DJ Blaze radio show podcast. They got listeners that's emailing in, calling, worried about me and stuff like that. So I do want to let them know out there in Florence because I gotta write them this week. I didn't write last week. I'm good, y'. All. I'm good. All right. It's tough. It's a struggle. Little headache here, there. Okay. Haven't been light headed or woozy and none of that. But I, I'm good. I found like a little system, little regimen. You know, they say 21 days, you build a habit. So approaching that, 21 days, this has become the new normal for me. No dairy, no meat products, you know, no sugar, no processed foods. Okay. But nevertheless, some of the highlight meals have been udon noodles out of, like, Japanese spots. That's a whole wheat noodle. So I have been getting that. It's udon or udon noodles, I guess, however you pronounce it. I've told y' all already about the chipotle and the chipotle wrap that I've Done. But I've been. I've. I've pulled the slow cooker out with this cold weather that we've had, and I've done pinto beans and then also some red beans and rice as well. So that. I mean, that's. That. There's nothing to really unpack about that, y'. All. Okay. The next set of beans that I'll be doing is, like, some northern beans. So, you know, straight slow cooker vibes. However, Sunday, 6:00pM the fast comes to an end. It comes to. It comes to an end. But I do want, in all seriousness, communicate with y' all some of the, you know, the benefits and the things that I feel like I've gained from the fast. I'm down like £9, 9 to £10. Make some noise, y'. All. I'm saying actually looked on the scale today. I haven't been thinking to look, but also, blood pressure has been down as far as, like, health and all of that stuff. I had a doctor's visit scheduled already, but, you know, the fast came up and everything. And I was about a week into the fast. I went to my doctor's visit and everything was looking good. Okay, let's just get this together. It's maybe tmi, but I'm regular. All right? I'm just gonna keep it at that. I'm regular. Feels great to be regular. And I'm just walking around. Like, the inside feels lighter. So that adds clarity. Is similar to my room being cleaned. It's like any kind of excessive gas or cramps or anything like that, internally gastro problems that we go through that, you know, it. It does not contribute to a pleasant, you know, experience. In other words, like when you walking around and doing anything. So it feels good to be. To be alleviated of that and. And. And cleared of that. So I do take those benefits from the Daniel Fast and am very grateful and appreciative of the person. Thank you, rb, for inviting me to do it and challenging me to do it this year, but definitely grateful for the clarity that I've been granted and stuff like that. Been able to just focus a lot more. So I can. I can appreciate that now. While we did go out for lunch and talk about, you know, Daniel Fast and everything like that, there's also a segment that we normally have attached to that. Right. Real things heard at work. Now I wanted. I wanted us to go ahead and actually remix it a little bit this week. We're going to call it Real News reported at work. Ah, yeah. I'm Showing love. All right. Yeah. Pause. Oh, man. Yo. Because everybody knows I'm a member of. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Osaka Omega Sci Fi fraternity. [00:17:28] Speaker A: All right. So I do want to read this article. I gotta as I read it though. Yeah, I gotta bleep out a lot of stuff because protecting everything. Right. This thing that we're building protected myself legally. A lot of protection going on. So y' all here a little bit. Okay. So WCNC reports. All right. Just testing it out, but volunteer wrestling coach charged with child sex crimes. Yep, yep, yep. Real news reported at work y' all. Is facing multiple charges related to an alleged sexual relationship with a 14 year old students document show. All right. A volunteer wrestling coach at a middle school is facing multiple charges for alleged sexual misconduct with a student. Court record show discharged with two counts of statutory rape, two counts of sexual acts with a student and statutory sex offense with a student. According to an arrest report obtained by wcnc. Charlotte was serving as a volunteer wrestling coach at school. All right. Is being held under no bond. Prosecutors said in court that admitted to the encounters and told investigators he recorded them. Whoa. Let's see here. A judge ordered that he remain in custody as the case moves forward. According to the court documents, the alleged incidents took place in December while he was volunteering as a wrestling coach at school. Investigators say the alleged Victim was a 14 year old student at the school. When the police spoke to the defendant, he admitted that he did things, the prosecutor told the court. He also admitted to recording it and it takes a little time to go through a phone extraction. So the police are going through that. During the hearing, the judge cited recent changes in state law and said the charges are expected to move to Superior Court. As you know, recent changes of the law have set presumptive holds in certain situations. The judge said. This is a matter that I know is going to be bound over to Superior Court. Consequently, the court is going to leave the hold. In effect, court records show that reason has no prior criminal history. Authorities also confirmed that he was employed by the at the time of his arrest. The school district said is no longer a volunteer. Noting that the wrestling season has ended. His return is scheduled to return to court on February 10th. Charlotte has reached out to Honey Schools for a statement and. And that's the end of the article. This. Use a freaky ass life. Come on man. Life. We just again, I don't mean to say sour serendipity but we. We've talked plenty of times about sexual discipline and all of that on here. Some people that that can't be helped. Honestly Some people are just sick. Sick. My man recorded it. He's 21. I read the article because I know this. Okay. Worked with the. But I'll. I'll let y' all know. Also, he is the main inspiration for my random thought that young cannot dress and I hate young fashion. So I'll just say that, okay, I might let some. Some of y'. [00:21:21] Speaker F: All. [00:21:22] Speaker A: Young might be off the hook by now because he. His weird ass was the one that influenced that from me where I was like, you know what? I don't like the way that these dress. So. But nevertheless, always knew he was a weirdo. Okay. However, this is flagrant, my boy. Flagrant. Flagrant. Disgusting. Okay. Yeah, that. I don't have much else to say. Homie is disgusting. I feel bad for the victim. [00:21:55] Speaker E: Use a freaky ass anytime when it's. [00:21:58] Speaker A: That statutory stuff as well. Let's be clear, you know, the older person involved, a lot of times, most of the times are manipulating and. And, you know, so, yeah, the consent thing, all of that stuff, I'm. I'm not. Come on, y'. All. I'm not buying it. I'm not giving grace or anything like that for that. Crazy times we're living in. Let's just say that. Okay. Crazy times we're living in. That's real news reported at work. Yeah, that's just what's going on. All right, so I have some random thoughts that I did want to go through. See here? Let's go ahead and move forward and we'll talk about some random thoughts real quick. Got to know when to hold. Yeah, yeah. Know when to fold up. [00:22:49] Speaker E: DJs. [00:22:50] Speaker A: DJs know when to walk away. Know when to run. You gotta count your duck plates. When you touch the turntables. That means you're sound. You got to know when to hold, know when to fold. Down, boy. Know when to walk away. So. All right, so first I gotta give some. Oh. Gotta show some brotherly love to my brother, Big Cliff. What up, Big Cliff? How you doing, brother? Linked up with my brother, Big Cliff this past weekend. Excuse me. Not even really. This past weekend is my work week weekend. So it was this past Tuesday night and we went down to Fort Mill, South Carolina. We went to a free poker night in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Had ourselves a good old time playing some poker. Alright, why am I talking like that? Because that's how I felt when I walked into the bar. Felt like I should start talking like this. A lot of white folk, y' all know. It's all good, though. Of Course, you know what I'm saying? Comfy anywhere, right? But nevertheless, free Poker night. Had an awesome time out there. Essentially, you know, you get chips when you go in, similar to bingo night, but poker, but you get chips when you go in. Boom. You're playing the whole night. Whoever's the. Like, each person gets a bounty chip, a gold bounty chip, single bounty chip in addition to their chips. So whenever you go all in, if you game like, you know, with your chips or whatever, you go all in, you have to put your bounty chip out there, all right? Whenever the person wins the hand, or whoever wins that hand, they get that bounty chip as well. Whoever has the most bounty chips at the end of the night gets, like, a gift card or something like that. So, you know, very fly. Shout out to John's place out there in Fort Mill, showing us love. I had a great time. I bring all that up, though, because I lost, of course. Right? Yeah, I. I didn't fare too well. There's a lot of poker players out there that knew they thing and stuff like that. So that was the. The cool thing about it. You kind of identified different poker personalities and stuff while he was out there, but had a great time. I just didn't win anything at all. So. That's cool, though. Shout out to. [00:25:39] Speaker B: Show a. [00:25:40] Speaker A: In Fort Mill, South Carolina. That's my old stomping grounds by TK and everything like that. So that was cool. That was my first random thought. I kind of wanted to remix this segment as well, though, a little bit. And. Well, this part of the segment I want to call this, Instead of Random Thoughts, Random things heard on the Senate Floor. So my recent entertainment for myself with all of the chaos going on in the world and with our country primarily, is listening to Senate hearings and hearing these, you know, government officials pretty much looking to hold other government officials accountable, while the government officials that are being held accountable trying to figure out ways to wiggle out of the situation verbally, you know, and out, or try to talk over people and things like that. And the Senate, you know, hearing, the people that are giving the questions and stuff are like, yo, this is yes or no question. You're gonna answer it or not, like, yes or no. So I'm gonna go ahead and expand this segment of random thoughts to random things heard on the Senate floor. Okay, so let's go to the first one. Y' all give me one second here while I play these clips. [00:27:01] Speaker G: President Trump pardoned the former Honduran president after he was convicted of track trafficking roughly 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. Cocaine that contributed to the deaths of thousands of Americans year after year. Yet the president and his cabinet authorized a military operation to capture Nicolas Maduro in order to arrest him for virtually the same crime. So, yes or no? Because I have a bunch of questions here. To the best of your knowledge, was Hernandez convicted of trafficking approximately 400 tons of cocaine into the United States? [00:27:35] Speaker H: I'm not involved in the pardon process. I can tell you. [00:27:37] Speaker G: No, I'm just asking if he. [00:27:38] Speaker H: Yeah, but I don't do. Yes or no. That's. I don't play games. This is not a game show. [00:27:41] Speaker G: Do you know he was. Okay, so I'm just going to tell you. He. [00:27:44] Speaker H: So I can answer your question because I know what you're getting at, but go ahead. [00:27:46] Speaker G: Was convicted. [00:27:47] Speaker H: I know the president felt that he was unfairly treated. I can't. But I can't give you much insight because I'm not involved in the pardoning process. [00:27:55] Speaker G: President Trump. [00:27:57] Speaker A: All right, so that's the first one. See where I'm going with this? But that was secret Secretary of State Marco Rubio answering questions on the Senate regarding the Venezuelan operation where we captured Nicolas Maduro and. And his wife and brought them to the States to try them in court up in New York. So that was him. This is also Marco Rubio on this one. This is going to be a little segment that I continue and keep going as we are, you know, traversing these territories that, you know that we have not really seen these unprecedented territories as a nation. But here's the next clip right here, y'. All. [00:28:39] Speaker F: Here's what something the president said in Davos. I'm helping NATO until the last few days. When I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They're not here for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money. President repeatedly mistook Iceland for Greenland. Right. We're not mad at Iceland. They haven't cost us any money. The president just mistook the two countries for each other, correct? [00:29:09] Speaker H: Yeah, he meant to say Greenland. But I think we're all familiar with presidents that have verbal stumbles. We've had presidents like that before. Some made a lot more than this one. [00:29:17] Speaker F: Nice try. [00:29:18] Speaker A: Thanks. So that was Senator Tim Kaine talking to Marco Rubio. And. Excuse me, that was Senator Tim Kain talking to Marco Rubio. He's a senator out of Virginia. Democratic senator out of Virginia. And that exchange, I'm. I hate to say it, was way more entertaining than that, but it was very spirited. And Tim Kane was giving very valid, valid questions to Marco Rubio that he couldn't answer straight off. Straight up. And then Tim Kane gave some anecdotal information, like, hey, some of my constituents, families, you know, where some. Some of my Virginians were deployed out there. Like, I need answers because I gotta tell these families something when they're coming to me. So I thought that was very interesting, y', all, and I thought I may play it, but random things heard on the Senate floor, I suppose. Random things heard on the Senate floor. All right, so haven't done it. Get it off your chest in a minute. So we'll go ahead and do it. Get it off your chest, right? Let me see here. Let me work. [00:30:38] Speaker B: Please. Let me work. [00:30:40] Speaker A: So, all right. Last week, we went ahead and we showed love to Renee Good. Renee Nicole Good. Since then, an ICU nurse. ICU nurse that worked the va. I mean, it couldn't get more servanthood or servitude than this. He was killed or murdered by ICE agents. His name, Alex Preddy. And the two, Alex Pretty and Renee Nicole Goods. Murders on camera, captured on camera, have caused uproars, rightfully so, throughout the nation. So my main thing to get off my chest regarding all of this stuff is Keith Porter Jr. Yeah, I'll say it again. Keith Porter Jr. Keith Porter Jr. It's not no Dr. Umar or nothing like that that I'm doing right now, but we gotta say his name, Keith Porter Jr. Because it's being drowned out right now in mainstream media. They are, you know, fixated on Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretty. Rightfully so. These. These were civilians that were murdered in cold blood on camera. Alex Preddy was on. He had a gun on him. He was a. He was licensed to carry a licensed carrier. And then that started a whole narrative about if you should be bringing weapons to a protest or not. And this. Excuse me, this. Is. This. Is this the same government that this touted Kyle Rittenhouse around and. And giving him a podcast and fame and go fund me's and things like that, and shown him support that from the NRA on up? Where's the NRA right now? Where's the National Rifle association for Alex Preddy? Like, I thought that that transcended party lines. I didn't think that being a gun carrier was a party thing. But clearly, again, Alex Pretty doesn't get the same respect that Kyle Rittenhouse gets for protecting those that can't protect themselves. Alex Pretty was protecting woman right Our second episode. Our second episode, you know, ours specifically is protect black women. But still, Alex Pretty. He was coming to the defense of a woman that had been shoved down in the snow. And his reward for that was being murdered in cold blood. Canvas in the cold ice, in the cold snow out there. It's ridiculous and it's sickening. Of course. It makes my stomach turn. We still have what I've recognized several months ago as far as, like, the. I don't know if it's a pacification, if you will, or the numbing of all of this, like, shocking news that's coming to our feeder every day by having the late night, you know, carousel or the late night circuit. Talk about what's going on in a. In a humorous way or a comedic way. About 10 years ago, I used to do stand up and. And try my hand at stand up out here in the Charlotte area. And I stopped doing it when we were getting killed and murdered in cold blood. As far as we. I mean, black men and black women. Okay. Sonya Massey, Corinne Gaines, Sandra Bland. So I stopped doing comedy back then. It just. It didn't feel fun. It didn't feel. It didn't feel righteous at the time, if you will. And there's something about watching the monologues of these late night hosts and stuff as they're talking about these type of things. I understand that that's the most that they can do. Use their voice for power, provide comfort to those who are inundated with anxiety right now. However, something about it that doesn't feel righteous, just, you know, being honest. It's something about it that's, again, pacifying and not addressing it. So I just. I want to address it head on. I'm tired of running around and being scared to talk directly about these things and about the fascism that we're experiencing, about the police state that we're living in is ridiculous. Of course, I continue to lament that. Again, we can refer to black Love, the story of Radio Raheem. My piece on YouTube where I starts off by saying, I pledge obedience to the divided states of America, fearing that if I speak on the lies and the hate in America, I'll be just viewed as another guy that lies and hates on America. Like, and I'm not tooting my own horn or anything like that. When I write those type of lyrics or whenever I'm writing poetry or doing my art, I'm channeling something else. So. And I'm being dead ass serious with y', all, but. So I'm not even taking credit for those lyrics, but I knew at the time when I performed it and when I was recording it that it that it was going to be that it was going to live on, unfortunately. In other words, that it was going to be relevant 5 years, 10 years from the time that I was recording it. So again, I pledge obedience to the divided States of America. I pledge obedience to the divided States of America. It feels like exactly what we're doing every day now. So again, that is a get it off my chest moment. But even in, if y' all notice, even with me saying all of that just now, my get it off your chest moment, it still didn't address Keith Porter Jr. Like I mentioned, I wanted to say his name but also pay respect to him and his family as we of course pay respect to Renee Nicole Good Alex Preddy Keith Porter Jr. Was murdered right before the New Year by an off duty ICE agent. So let me see here. So the shooting occurred on New Year's Eve and this report comes from the Guardian Family and friends of a Los Angeles man who was killed by an off duty US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer over the holidays are urging local officials to arrest and prosecute the federal agent. Excuse me. Keith Porter Jr. A 43 year old father of two, was fatally shot by an ICE officer on New Year's Eve outside his apartment complex, according to LA and federal officials. An LA Police Department spokesperson said after the incident that Porter had fired gunshots into the air. A U S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the off duty immigration officer was forced to defensively use his weapon while responding to an active shooter. Much about the incident remains unclear. There's no footage of the shooting. Porter's family and local activists have argued that contrary to the DHS's portrayal of the events, Porter was not threatening anyone and was celebrating the New Year. Jamal Tucson, an LA attorney representing Porter's family, said Porter's actions possibly merited arrest or citation by the lapd. But the ICE agent who was not charged with local enforcement. Excuse me, the ICE agent who is not charged with local law enforcement duties, instead subjected him to a death sentence. Activists, local politicians and some celebrities have rallied around Porter's killing, with many of them voicing increasing concerns about ICE's aggressive raids and violent tactics in cities across the country. And the DHS's track record of making false and distorted claims about people they have accused of crimes and violence has fueled concerns that the government cannot be trusted to provide a truthful account of Porter's death. That part is real important. What they've the track record that they're setting for themselves, we can't trust anything that y' all are saying. Anyways, the article continues, those fears have only intensified in the wake of an ISIS officer's fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week. Goods killing sparked nationwide protests with the DHS calling her a domestic terrorist without evidence and Donald Trump insisting the officer Jonathan Ross fired in self defense as Good ran him over with her car. Footage, however, showed her car was turned away from so blah, blah, blah. And I'm not trying to diminish Renee Nicole Good's situation. We, we talked about it last week. But even this article, it steers back that way again. Organizers against produce brutality, including Black Lives Matter Los Angeles mobilized community members to testify at an LA Police Commission meeting on Tuesday demanding the LAPD disclose the name of the ICE officer who shot Porter and pursue criminal charges. So the. Okay, I'll be transparent. The, the shots in the air or the gunshots, that, I'm not gonna say it concerns me, but it's just the fact it gives them an out, if you will, or some, something to lean on heavily. We've seen them lean on less whenever it comes to justifying things like this. So I know that shooting in the air, you know, people are going to, people are going to use that, in other words, as the fulcrum of, of why this should have happened and why this did happen or whatnot. But ultimately, Keith Porter Jr. Should be alive, enjoying his family right now. Rest in peace to that brother. Want to show you brotherly love, show your family love and, and give all y' all our, you know, our love and, and prayers as well. Again, Keith Porter Jr. Y' all rest in peace. So let's see. All right, so wanted to go ahead and move forward and we're going to talk a little bit about J. Cole. What I wanted to do for y' all this week, though, as we talk about J. Cole, I wanted to play this clip from Carolina Sports Talk. It was, it was right after I came back from Dreamville Fest that year, that of 2024. So I wanted to go ahead and play this small clip here. All right, give me one second, y'. All. When it's cold outside. [00:41:39] Speaker D: Lamar Dot. But long story, last long. What are your thoughts? What did you feel about what he said there at Dreamville? Kind of apologizing for it and saying, yo, that was out of character from me. [00:41:50] Speaker E: I didn't have any issue with it. I actually, in the moment, kind of, you know, to myself, applauded it. [00:41:55] Speaker A: Or whatnot. [00:41:55] Speaker E: But also, I don't. It's like, I don't not understand why people are upset and in arms. I'm just disappointed that they are so invested emotionally and upset and in arms about his decision to do that. It's reflective of us as a culture because we do the same thing with football and basketball, where we're just bloodthirsty and we see these people or humans as commodities. And we always project what we want them to do or what we would do in the situation. We always project that upon the person. This guy, like I just mentioned, had 52,000 people showing nothing but pure love for him, singing his songs back to him. So in an apex of a moment like that, I can absolutely understand where he chose higher frequencies rather than low vibrations. And, oh, let's get it started. Because this is. This is rapid. [00:42:44] Speaker A: I gotta. [00:42:44] Speaker E: I'm gonna take somebody else's head off. Not to mention, when you think about some notable diss tracks and stuff from hip hop, because it is a competition sport, when you look at the gentlemen that have engaged and gotten the most flagrant or whatnot, because it gets personal, there's no way to avoid that in a rap battle. When you look at the gentlemen that have done some of the most scathing diss tracks, these gentlemen were about 24, 25, maybe 30 at the most, whenever they were doing this stuff. Cole is about 40, with a family. Again, not understand everybody. And when people do retort with the. Well, he said that he was number one. He shouldn't have been talking all that trash on First Person. Everything that he's done to a certain extent in his career, although it's been for him, has been for his fans and the people that rock with him. Quick story about J. Cole, of course, when he first came out, one of his notable organic, grassroots things that he did was A Dollar in a Dream tour. He's charging a dollar to his fans. He was going around in different cities, actually visiting the fans and going in their house, playing video games and, you know what I'm saying, And eating food, eating dinner with their family. So he always had an ear to what people were saying or what the criticisms were about him. [00:43:45] Speaker A: Right? [00:43:45] Speaker E: The critique. Everything that has been critiqued about him, he's followed suit and responded to. They said at first, yo, you don't. You produce all of your own stuff and you write and you do. It's kind of the rust effect. You do all your own stuff in house. [00:43:56] Speaker A: By J. Cole. Everything's by J. Cole. [00:43:57] Speaker E: Let's see what happens when you get different producers? He did that, smashed it. Okay? You, you just talk too much about college and stuff. You don't brag it. This is rap. You don't talk braggadociously enough. You don't really big yourself up and you don't. You know what I'm saying? He ended up doing that the last two years. You don't get on features. He got on all these features the last two years, embodied everyone. So everything that we have pushed him to do, he's done. And I think again when he realized the fruits of my labor are really in these people singing my song back to me, showing me nothing but love and it's all good energy. It's not my stake or my crown at number one because I slayed all these other rappers. My, my wealth is right here amongst these, these people that love me. [00:44:33] Speaker D: And at this point, what does he really have to prove to anybody and any and everything? He is who he is and he's. [00:44:38] Speaker A: Done it and said it. So. [00:44:39] Speaker E: And because here's the thing, you know, I'm DJ High Star. So my biggest thing is most of these people have not wrapped a Christmas gift, okay? Most of them have not sold a girl scout cookie and are the biggest mouths in this thing. Not to mention the, the reason that people really are mad if you pay attention is because it's taking food out of their mouth. J. Cole is fine, Kendrick is fine. Drake has been fine. All of them are fine. It's taking food out of bloggers mouths. It's taking food out of, you know, quote unquote hip hop journalists or whatever because you don't have. You got this news cycle to run. Guess what? By Friday it's going to be a little stale. By next Monday it's definitely going to. [00:45:13] Speaker A: Be an old story. [00:45:14] Speaker E: You feel what I'm saying? [00:45:14] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:45:15] Speaker D: Now, as you talk about old stories, I definitely want to pause before we. [00:45:18] Speaker B: Jump into the sports. [00:45:26] Speaker A: Shout out to Big Cliff. Shout out to Carolina Sports Talk, y'. All. That was just a sample. You know, we used to get Evergreen with our topics outside of sports and, and everything like that. But that was a little sample. Also. It was again directly after the Dreamville fest on in 2024. So I wanted to play that because those were my raw thoughts and stuff coming straight from Raleigh and, and everything before everything blew up with the battle and a couple things, a couple takeaways from what I was saying and from what Big Cliff was saying. But definitely I felt the bloodthirst, bloodthirsty nature of People. I don't want to have revisionist history about it, but people were definitely looking yo, nah, I can't wait to this track drop that track drop and stuff like that. Like hip hop was in a. In more of a boring place prior to. And people was looking for the big dogs to drop and, and talk. They. So you know, again, a lot of public pressure was. Was put out on all three of them to. To drop something, which they did. You know, Cole's offering was first. He was the first one to jump out there. It was convenient for him because he had Dreamville Fest coming up, so might delete later and drop the whole mixtape. And then had seven minute drill on it and everything. And then it led all the anticipation was leading up to that Friday. People had murmurs that Drake was there at Dreamville Fest and was going to make a surprise appearance and everything like that. There was word that Drake was behind the scenes and everything and that he ultimately didn't come out because Cole apologized. So I just wanted to play that again. That was the, the bloggers thing. I took away from that also. Again, I think everybody is entitled to their own decision making. Right. And we are just, I think zero in zeroing in on the decision that Cole made to apologize after he dropped the track that he dropped the seven minute drill. And we're just kind of hyper over analyzing it and, and being hypercritical with Cole with regards to that decision. At the end of the day, we like nobody, nobody died from the decision Cole made. Nobody was harmed from the decision Cole made. People feelings were hurt and people have this bible of hip hop rules that lives in their heads and they always want to give their opinion of why somebody's trash and things like that. The other thing that I pulled away from that when I was telling Big Cliff is most of these people haven't wrapped a Christmas gift. Most people have not even sold a Girl Scout cookie. To know anything about the music business and to. To put their two cents in and think that they're going to in some way have an influence on what these artists, these major recording artists are doing and what they do with their everyday lives is. Is laughable. So that, that was a big, A big, big takeaway from me. In that moment. I was, which I still am irked by. People that can't rap, that are talking about what J. Cole should say in his bars, people that can't sell music, that are talking about numbers and things like that. It just. It's annoying or whatnot. And yeah. So nevertheless shout out to Cole Shout out to Birthday Blizzard, the mixtape that he's dropped, hosted by DJ Clue. He's got four tracks on there where he's revisiting old beats, nostalgic beats, right? So real, real hip hop beats that he chose to rap over. So salute to him. I did want to play some of, you know, the mixtape for our high star bars this week, so I'll go ahead and I'll do that. But you know, I'm definitely anticipating 2626, anticipating the fall off coming and the album coming. Everybody remember as well KOD, the album KOD, the last track on their night, 1985, was titled in parentheses, the intro to the fall off. So let's just see how he ties all of that together. Very interested to see, but in the meantime, we dealing with a cold world, y'. All. You know what I'm saying that, I mean, he's gotten the engagement back going. Awesome business model with the falloff.com on there, all of his merch centered. He also has a community chat in there as well. He's selling in the digital on there and the vinyls as well. So awesome game planning strategy as always from jcole. I've seen the conversation also go around a little bit about if is Jcole hip hop, is he culture, like hip hop culture. And you know, the uncomfortable thing to say, of course, with him being mixed, him and Drake being mixed is just, you know, who's. Who shows themselves to be more culture, not necessarily more black, I guess, but just more comfortable in the culture. And I think this two different stories there of growing up hip hop with both Drake and J. Cole. I think J. Cole was allowed to be around it and experience it more, live in the hip hop worlds more. Right. Wear the clothes, be in different spots where hip hop music was being played, but also where hip hop culture was being curated. I believe that Drake was just able to listen to music, like listen to the music, everything. [00:51:08] Speaker E: All of the older footage that we. [00:51:09] Speaker A: See of Drake, it. It shows me that he was just able to have access to hip hop music, which is fine. But there, you know, that that does leave some voids in your experience through this thing of ours and, and through this culture. So, you know, just thought that was interesting that people compared the two this past week with that in some ways and you know, again, just seeing a lot of now there's no forgiving J. Cole for what he did and. And a lot of that type of narrative going on and going around. I just came here to defend J. Cole, defend real hip hop. Oh, Let the brother know that we definitely over here. Mandatory overtime. Appreciate the most recent offering the Blizzard Birthday Blizzard or whatnot. So I want to go ahead. We'll go ahead and move forward into our High Star bars before we get out of here. It's going to be a track off of Birthday Blizzard that we'll be playing. Let me see here. I think I want to go with 99 build. So yeah, let's go ahead and go. I mean, you know, we'll. We'll go into that for a little bit. [00:52:22] Speaker B: You're down to mix with DJ High Star. [00:52:26] Speaker A: Son, where'd you find this? Damn, son, where'd you find this? [00:53:02] Speaker B: Report on it. First play my album for the corpse in a hearse it's so loud the flow can make the rigor mortise on a mortal reverse these reckless trying to disrespect the Lord of the church get disconnected from your sources like the court at your birth from an alternate dimension I got lost inside of this one Now I'm walking around and looking for a portal that works but all of the perks around me make it harder to search the tormented poet I know I'm making more than I'm worth At one time my neck and wrist was happening so much ice you think I'm getting dudes deported to a border and turf these swear they doing numbers but it's more to the story you bust it down it's by the streams of kids ordering merch when hate us like a blessing in the form of a curse I've been anointed since a quarter water slaughter my thirst Songbirds want to swallow my girth I'm off the market if life was truly your movie God is the art department the only way of describing this way that I'm rhyming this picture Jeffrey Dahmer walking a carcass across the carpet the Marshall Parker the roster with all star offense Outside of the music I'm as cool as your water faucet I stay to myself I ain't talkative Y' all taught me not to have a heart to heart with a monster monster they all too heartless like the skeletons of these fellas locked in the closet I smelt it from the jump Cause it felt too awkward around it I fell back my dog in heaven pushing hellcats would tell you from the beginning I wonder how could I dodge it? The beef ain't real so it ain't no reason to squash it the game ain't neither so it's easy for me to pause it with one verse I disassemble narratives your theories get killed the murder weapon with superior skill selling drugs to your stereos you feel it feels like overdosing off a myriad of various pills you're not alone when you experience ethereal thrills Even niggas burning in hell when they hear me get chills I'm a 99 bill from the veil signing mighty fine deals this year's total was 95 nil so why do I still grind like I'm trying to retire? My mom's out the post office from St. John's to the league like I'm mohawkless I loaded a whole cartridge on foes who wholeheartedly oppose the chosen one that rose like the golden sun in the morning to give light to even those that shun raised from the flows radiate the globe melting snow on this frozen tundra known as the rap game that's been overcome with those are marketing plans facing randomly dissing and hating on the next man I understand imagine working hard as you can on this album you plan hoping it charges your brand but as soon as you drop it the world's ignoring again got you wondering why till you start to notice the trend drama enhances the attention brought to the fans on popular channels so you want to I hop on a band wagging a battle rapping and throwing shots in a jam I had my chance but I chopped it which means that my only options to do the opposite then hip hop is back jid should chop platinum anything less than that it means y' all capping.
