  Speaker 2: How's it going man?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Pretty good? Adam, what's up?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Not much? What have you been up to since we
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: recorded last? Lots of lots of stuff.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Between and between our last recording, I've done four
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: more albums. That looking pretty busy.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm a whole new person since we
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: recorded last.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I literally just we stopped talking. I recorded four
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: albums and then it was just measically done.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And then now here we are two weeks later. Do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you get it? People at home?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We record these back to back, So that's that's what's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: actually happening here.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: We stay busy.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We are continuing through our countdown of the ten best
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: hip hop conspiracies. Again, just to make the criteria for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this list clear, these are just the ones I like
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the best. We didn't vote. I didn't ask the fans
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for their input. I didn't put up a poll. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just went with my gut and this is the list
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we came up with. I ended the last episode by
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: saying that the NICKI Minaj is actually jay z thing
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: might be my favorite conspiracy theory of these ten, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this first one we're going to talk about might also be.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Let me just lay it on you people at home,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Shakira and Pitbull predicted the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: MH three seventy. That's a pretty wild claim, right there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, can you when you say that when you go
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: through edding this episode, can you add the don dun du?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like I should. One of the reasons I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like this one so much is I fucking love Shakira.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: She is one of my fave musicians. I actually have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one of her albums coming today in the mail on vinyl.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: She Wolf very good album, check it out. Everybody Nice.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But the song in question, it's a pit Bull song.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Shakira is just on the chorus. She's completely innocent in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: all of this. Pit Bull is the one saying all
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the inflammatory stuff. The song is called Get It Started.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if I've ever listened to an
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: entire pit Bull song from beginning to end, so I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was not familiar with this.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: What's your stance on Pitbull? Dali?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I think if pit Bull and Shakira teamed up and
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: put out an album, They will be the Latin worlds
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: watched the Throne. They would have that shit on Lock.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. People do like pit Bull,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and he's mister Worldwide after all, so they like him globally.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Right. I'm not a fan, but if those two team up, man,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: they would sell some units.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I've never experienced someone who probably lives a cooler life
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: than I could ever hope to, but who I also like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: look at and I'm like, you fucking nerd? Like pit
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Bull seems like such a nerd. I don't know why.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He just he seems corny to me.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: He is, but he owns it. He makes He makes
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Award show music, that's true. Yeah, he makes the shit
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: you hate before the SP's come on. I mean that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: he got that on Locked. That's his lane. He owns it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I guess. I'm not a fan, but he's doing something,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So this song with Shakira, it's called Get It started,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: came out way back in twenty twelve, so a couple
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: years prior to the disappearance of That Flight, which it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: been a long time ago. Now it's twenty fourteen, so
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: seven years going on seven years. In twenty twelve, they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: put out this song includes lyrics like now it's off
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to Malaysia. So there's that, But that in and of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: itself is pretty meaningless. But then Pitbull adds stuff like
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: two passports, three cities, two countries in a day, which
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: sounds like a pit Bull line.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: That's his life.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sure, mister worldwide again. The three passports line
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: has been interpreted to be a reference to the stolen
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Austrian and Italian passports that were used by two Iranian
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: men who boarded MH three seventy and uh probably not.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I bet it's not. What would Pitbull's reasoning have been
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to tell people this was gonna happen.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I got something for this. No, all right, that makes sense. Okay,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: so if we check who wrote this song, right, if
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: it's someone other than Pitbull, because your songs usually have
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: what a couple of writers usually for a generic party song.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: So I say, the other guy put that in there,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and the other guy works with I don't know, the Illuminati,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and maybe you know that their whole code is before
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: they do some functionhit. This usually has to be spoken
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: or said to cover all credibility like, hey, we told you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: If you didn't pick up on it, and pitpulls are lyrics,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: then you just weren't looking hard enough. It's all far fetched.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: But I don't know. Maybe he didn't write that line.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So what does this mean? Just right then? There? It's hot?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, how many take take a guess at how many
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: songwriters around this song?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Eight?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It is actually eight? Yeah, holy shit, Armando Perez?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Who that is? Is that Pitbull? Is that his real name?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I think so, yes, that is Pitbull, Derell Babs, Chris Stevens,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Mark Kinchin, Sidney Sampson, DJ Buddha Shakira, and.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Someone who just calls themselves Developed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It was Developed. That's the guy that was the one.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: At first it wasn't sure, but when you said developed,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: he developed the whole plan. Gotcha.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Develop doesn't have a Wikipedia page.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Very mistakeous.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in some of those names. If there's samples on here,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: there's people might oh true, get songwriting credits. But still,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: who's Developed? That sounds like AI or something that's a company.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe they did it. Maybe they wrote that part.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That's the the government offshoot.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: What if they were trying to be a whistleblower.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We gotta let people know this is gonna happen, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I know just how to do it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Get Shakira and Pitbull in the room.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and get Developed make sure he's he's gotta be there.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So there's also the three cities part of that line
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that is claimed to represent the capital cities of Malaysia, China,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and Vietnam. And I was confused about that, so I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: looked into that a little more. And one of the theories
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: about flight MH three P seventy, well, this part's not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a theory. It was a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So there's your two capital cities. And one of the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: theories is that it was shot down over Vietnam. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that's the third capital in question, Hanoi, capital of Vietnam.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They also say the two countries could be Malaysia and Vietnam. Yeah,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they could be Canada in the United States. Also, who knows.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I fucking love Shakira though, so I'm glad I got
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to talk about her on this episode.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But this theory's nuts.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: The only west was work is if you work back,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: which you have to give me three other historic events.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Then we have to find out did other artists have
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: mention these events and songs have then measured the time
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: between the song lyric and it just take too much work,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: but it's possible. I guess if he is every is
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: not aleven and like ten rap songs alone before it happened.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated by musicians who seem like they predict
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: their own death in songs. Yeah, that's all, Like we
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: should do an episode about that. The Tupac one is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the best because he jumped on a Richie rich song
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and said, I've been shot and murdered. I can tell
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you how it happened word for word, And people are like,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: why do people think Tupac's still alive?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Shit? That is I match you video alone, the intro.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I mean it's literally high, it goes down, yeah to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: a degree. Yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't put it on the list, but Tupac is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: alive is actually kind of a compelling theory, just because,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like witness protection is a thing, we know it exists.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I just the only problem with that is no one
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: really went to jail. I don't think Hupac like cooperated
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in any investigations, So who knows Elvis definitely though.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man might be his own episode to Tupac went Alone.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: That's such a rabbit hole or shit with Tupac in Machavelli.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Now we're getting into some classics. Yeah, we're getting into
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the top four. And this is an oldie, but goodie.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Jay Z and Beyonce are Illuminati. Also, Beyonce is secretly Italian.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I'm still on the fence as to whether the Illuminati
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is even a real thing. I still think that's a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: government psyop, just meant to take attention away from just
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: how shitty the real government is.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't really need a fake.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Shadow government to fuck this country. We elect our government
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that fucks this country, right every few years.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. And here's the thing, though, you two things. One,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Jay Z and Beyonce are not i Lluminati because one,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: there are no black people in the Illuminati.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a surprise if there were.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Right, I don't care how powerful you are. Two, Michael
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Jackson was the most powerful entertainer where he lived. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: if Dearliminati, what the fuck do you think he was?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: What was he doing? Then? Like, you're not as powerful
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: as Mike, so he might got a little clout, but
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: they still have a boss. Jay Z Beyonce have bosses,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: they answered to. Mike had bosses, he answered to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I am convinced Michael Jackson was a spy and that's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: why he got away with all the kid touching because man,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: especially in the eighties and nineties, no one had access
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to world leaders like Michael Jackson because.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: He was just as true. He was everywhere.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: He was viewed as this like benevolent force for world peace.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So he would like he could walk up to any
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: world leader and they'd be like, Michael jaff Fuck, yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I want Michael Jackson in my country.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You kidding me.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: There's no way he didn't work with the United States
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: in some way to represent like he was an ambassador
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: pretty much.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's no way our intelligence agencies didn't pull
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: him aside after those or before those trips probably.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And be like, hey, write down what you see, tell
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: us when you get back.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah, there's no doubt they did.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was out there assassinating people. How fucking cool
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: would that be? Every kind of dope just going Munich
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: every fucking country goes to. They give him a list
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: of people he's got to hunt down before his show.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: That means Moonwalker's based on the true story. Then he
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: probably his power. He makes you dance to death. He
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: go out there killing fucking soldiers and making them dance
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: and they collapse.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Michael jack Sassin, that's the name of that show.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, he was the basis of Action Jackson. It's based
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: on Michael Jackson's life when he's not singing.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: There it is. That makes more sense.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: That's a Netflix series.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the whole jay Z Illuminati thing is
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: just because of that hand symbol that is a triangle.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: But he says diamond and people just take that and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: they're like, that man's in the Illuminati for sure.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: But you got from Diamond Dallas Page who did it first?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Well, Diamond Dallas Page was definitely in the Illuminati. I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't think there's any any dispute question. Probably was the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: head at some point. But yeah, it seems like it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: just it's that and also there's Rich and there's jay
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Z and Beyonce Rich like jay Z. I think what
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: became recently became the first billionaire rapper.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Was that dra first. Was it technically Drey's technically first
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: with beats?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, just being loaded man.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now again that goes back to Busy Bones saying, like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: even out the money, jay Z has sprinkling, been sprinkling
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: his music and imagery with Devil's Ship for a while now,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: so you can't really blame fans for running with that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: He says, the ship all the time. He mentions Masonic shit,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: He mentions freemates like he's if he's not, he's definitely
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: lean into it because that's yourselves. So he leads into it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's the thing, he could be a Freemason.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure all of them are to a degree.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people treat the idea that someone might be a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Freemason as I think freemasonry in general is treated weird.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: If like, I wouldn't mind doing like a series on freemasonry.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Because there's obviously.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: The conspiracy theory that Freemasons are like secretly trying to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: control the world and influence politics, and in this country,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: we know Freemasons exists. Chat Wild is a Freemason.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: For example, I actually write and I remember you said that,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: and actually, if you do do that, I like to
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: say something about that because I actually went through the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: process of becoming to Freemason. The last thing I didn't
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: do is sign the paperwork. I guess I say that
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: they have them come to my house while I stay
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: at the time and talk to every member of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: people my family, and I wasn't particularly cool with that
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: at the time, so I kind of game a little
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: soft pass. Yeah, but went to the whole the whole
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: rigma road of going to the temples, going through what
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I got to do and what they do and all
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: that stuff. But it's it is wild. It's very secretive,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: and they're very strict on not runny in mouth. Yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: they made that clear, made that very clear.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's that's why people get so freaked out when they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: find out, like us presidents are Freemasons, because Freemasonry it
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: requires this oath that is like listen, this is this
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is what you care about is Freemasonry. Everything else is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: after that, And people are like, well, how can you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: be the president?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And also, you know, no one likes secrets. People are
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: scared of secrets. Metawa group. No one likes secrets. They
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: wants to know everything because a secret is something nefarious.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Who knows, Like, there's obviously a chance that jay Z
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: could be a freemason, because we know freemasonry is a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: real thing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I mean comes with success. I think any level of success.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I mean you're definitely going to be offered or approached.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I mean it's just that's life, matter what position you're in.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: If at the top, someone's talking, someone's talking to you.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be like if someone walked up to you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: with an application for an American Express plumb card, you'd
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: be like, oh right, me, okay, yes, I didn't know
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: i'd attain such heights.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Same thing exactly, someone walks up.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And they're like, you want to be in the Illuminati,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: wanna be fast tracked into freemasonry?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Hell? Yeah? Like who who one of us would not
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: take the opportunity to advance in life such quickly? Yeah?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Thirty third degree? Oh my yes, please?
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I have to read, have to read, what memorize? What? Sure?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I get? How much?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's just that he's rich and he he does,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you know, talk about But again, a lot of people
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: use imagery like that because the other thing about Illuminati
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: imagery is it's all like the sun or an eye
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: or a triangle, and it's like you see that in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of ship there's this one conspiracy theory guy
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: out there on the internet named Isaac Weisshaalt.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He has a whole bunch of stuff about Illuminati symbols
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in Stanley Kubrick movies, and I hate it so much.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: For one thing, he's written like two books about it,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Like he's milking his audience for money.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Very clearly.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: He read I read of his stuff. Yeah he does. Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: he's he's selling a lot. He's trying to sell a
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: lot of UH supports.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He's not being honest because you can't talk about the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Stanley Kubrick Illuminati theory without mentioning that that theory started
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: in a comedy article on the internet.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: In like nineteen ninety five.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So up to that point, no one had even suggested
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: such a crazy thing. And it is a very crazy thing,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Like Stanley Kubrick movies don't have they have again, they
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: have symbols that are used by the Illuminati, or they're
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: purported to be used by the Illuminati, but I don't know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: They're used by a lot of a lot of groups.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Beyonce is super fucking rich too. She had
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that line in a song where she said, of course,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: shit goes down when there's a billion dollars on the elevator.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's a reference to the time she was on the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: elevator with jay Z and Solange and Solange was all
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: mad at jay Z and yelling at him, and uh yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars on the elevator. Six hundred and fifty
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: of it belonged to Salan.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: The other that's for the rest of them.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: That's funny along to Salon, which.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: When it comes down to pretty much, look, anyone at
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the top of their game is part of a secret group.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: That's just like all professions in the top you're part
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: of some kind of small group of special people. Period.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: So again I doubt again any black people are part
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: of the official four or five white guys who run
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the world. But they may be puppies of them. They're
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: just they're just entertainers. They have no power. It's just
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: all their image. They have bosses, they run nothing people.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: What if that what if that Beyonce song girls, Like
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: what if the chorus was like, who runs the world?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Eight white dudes in a room above the White House.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: It doesn't prop to say, it doesn't hit the saying,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: it doesn't slap.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, girls, meaning these eight.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Old white men on top of the exactly, that's what
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: they call their group. It's an evil acronym that means
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: government in real life.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Sucks GRLS runs the world.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: We cracked it. We cracked the case.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, a guy running for office in Illinois
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: named Bill Fowell made headlines when he posted a thread
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: on Twitter about how Beyonce and jay Z both support
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the Illuminati and how her Super Bowl performance included a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: bunch of Illuminati symbols. But all of his evidence was
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: just YouTube videos that had been out before. But what
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: was weird about this theory kind of re emerging in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen is where it eventually went.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: This time.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Instead of ending at jay Z and Beyonce are in
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the Illuminati, it went jay Z and Beyonce are in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the Illuminati. Also, Beyonce is not black. She is an
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Italian woman, which this is very weird, Like it's not
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: weird in oh, maybe this is true. It's just weird
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that this even happened.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I like that the second time he mentioned that they
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: were Illuminati, he tecked on this other little story detail,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: is right, jay Z Beyonce Luminati. Also Beyonce might be Italian.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: It's so random, like is that it's like wondy is
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: it's true?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And this rumor was started by an Instagram user named
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: jj W Webb who just left a comment on someone's post,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and this is what it said. You know, Beyonce isn't
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: black but a dark Italian. She fakes being black because
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: she was told by her producers, go black and you
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: will have greater audience appeal. I'm gonna stop you right there.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: That is contrary to everything we've ever heard about the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: music industry.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: It's not destroyed, be the opposite. That's backwards.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be more. Do you think
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you could pass for Italian? Because then then we're on
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to something that going to be a plus. Anyway, here's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: here's how the rest of the the quote goes. Her
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: real name is Anne Marie Lastrassi. You will soon find
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: out what I say is true. She Beyonce duped a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people. How embarrassed are you now? I can
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: answer that I'm not embarrassed at all. Like, even if
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: this turned out to be true, I didn't I didn't
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: plan it. The songs still slap even if she's Italian
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and not black. What's really happening here is they're tying
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this to the Black Lives Matter movement and saying, well,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter is obviously fake. This person who pushes
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it so much as Italian.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Here's a thing, wouldn't a real Beyonce have a more
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: real Italian name? Like I don't know, like Beyonce, Like,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: isn't her isn't her name was fiance? I don't know
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: if I should have voice, but wouldn't that be kind
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: of more.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That's a spicey Beyonce, Right, It just.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: You kind of go with that name that was your
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, it just seems like that's weird.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: No, And here's the thing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Anne Marie Lestrassi was a real person, is a real person,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and she was interviewed by the Route. And my favorite
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: thing about the interview is how it just starts with
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: some casual Italian racism.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I guess that bothered me. What was that about necessary?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And it's if you read the rest of the interview,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it seems like she was legitimately bothered by it because
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: she keeps saying like, oh, I'll think about it while
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: my sauce simmers, and like they're playing it like it's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: like it's them being funny back and forth. But I
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: feel like she was like, yeah, I fucking bathe an
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: olive oil, your piece of shit?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Can we get this over with?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Interview?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Here's how the interview starts. Thank you for taking the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: time to speak with us today. I'm sure you'd rather
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: be slicing garlic clothes into liquid thin pieces for a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: squad of goodfellas rather than talking about being mistaken for Beyonce.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Can I say the interview should stop right there, like Okay,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm out of here, Like what the fuck is this? Yeah?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That is such a weird, weird way to start an interview.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I was like someone asking me about I'm sorry to
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: bother you from frying your chickens. Can you talk to me?
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: That's bad?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: This was her response to that, ha ha, very funny.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: In reality, I've yelled he good more than I've ever
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: yelled that's a spice, see a meatball. Despite those stereotypes,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the interview is just her saying
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not Beyonce, I wish I was Beyonce. Beyonce is amazing,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and also uh, just peppering it all with references to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Italian food that seem like they are not being peppered
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in in a happy way.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I feel her first response she tried to play ball
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: in a way like I'll play with you this one time,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: but let's move on from that. Yeah, But in fact,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the guy just kept interview, just kept picking. It's real
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: condescending the utmost degree, like this was a point.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But I mean, good on them for tracking her down
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and doing the interview at least to.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Show that she's not Beyonce.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: But also, how do we know that did you interview
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Beyonce in this same room the root?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Did you? Did you hit her with the stereotypes leading
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: into the questions? If not, how do you know who
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you're talking to.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, see that's the problem. They're not as credible
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: as Yahoo Sports.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I even forgot to mention the source for that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: first example, the Shakira and Pitbull thing was from Yahoo Malaysia.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yahoo is the real mister worldwide.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: If you said Yahoo Malaysia Sports out of lost it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It's all fucking cricket, whatever, soccer, whatever people play in Malaysia.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming those two things.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Anne, Marie Lestrassi, it's very cute, like it's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: got to be a little flattering that people look at
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you and go, mmm, you're actually Beyonce.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But she doesn't look that much like Beyonce.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: They have like a similar skin tone and similar hair color,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: but beyond that, not really.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: It's just like an olive like an olive skin the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Italian woman.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's also Beyonce.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Right, a light skinned black woman.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So let's get off into another theory. Now we're really
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: really getting into the big stuff. There's all sorts of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: directions we could have gone with this next one who
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: killed Notaori's big who killed Tupac? But I want to
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: focus on one specific theory, which is that Sean P.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Diddy Combs is the one who sets Tupac up to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: be killed. And I hate this theory with all my
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: heart and soul because of how it came about. This
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: theory happened because at one point, Valletta Wallace filed a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: wrongful death civil suit against the LAPD. She was seeking
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars from the LAPD and to fight
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit, the LAPD reopened the case and handed it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: to this detective named Greg Carting. For one thing, I'm
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: sure they definitely did not say, here go investigate this
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in a way that exonerates us.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: They just said, hey, find what you can, I'm sure,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And he comes back with a theory that Sean Combs
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: put a one million dollar hit out on Tupac and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Suge Knight both and hired a crip named Dwayne Keithy D.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Davis to carry out the murders. And he claims Tupac
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: was actually killed by Orlando Anderson because of they pulled
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: up on the wrong side of the car or something.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: That's the guy Tupac's entourage beat down in the lobby
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: of the MGM Grand shortly before he died. And so
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: after all that happened, Suge Knight put out a hit
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on Notorius Big and that's why he died. And shortly
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: after Carden came to these conclusions. And despite all of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: these shocking revelations, the LAPD just immediately stopped the investigation
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and dropped the case because now they had been exonerated
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: by an investigation, and that kind of derailed Valletta Wallace's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: civil suit and now there won't even be financial justice
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: for her when it comes to the death of her son.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: One of the things that also makes me suspicious there
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: were so many attempts to make the movie that eventually
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: was City of Lies, which is about the other version
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of this theory, which is that the LAPD was very
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: involved in the death of Notorious Big, But all of
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the attempts to make that movie failed. But this theory,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the Greg Carting theory, was made into a USA Network
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: TV series before any version of the other story came out. Then,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: just like quietly, this year, Stars added City of Lies
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to their lineup, so you can go see City of
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Lies now, and it presents the alternative theory to what
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: happened to Notorious Big, and man, it's pretty compelling. It's
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a very convincing theory. It's also a theory that was
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: it forth by a former LAPD detective.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: This is two words, how convenient.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I hate about it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: No one has questioned that part that, oh, you finally,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: like you haven't come up with this theory at any
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: other point after all these years, because we're talking like
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: ten years after he died, You've had ten years to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: look into this, and now you're just conveniently coming up
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: with this theory that exonerates the LAPD entirely.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: It feels like they just came up with it just
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: to just to get their name out from just to
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: get them from involved in a situation. They just kind of, well,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: here's a theory. Yeah, this means we had nothing to
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: do with it. And you know what, both camps just
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: kind of got rid of each other. It's over case
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: close openings that case.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And they even in the USA series they like
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: bring up the other theory a little bit and they
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: just focus on one very small part and try to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: like really play it down as not being as important
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: as people make it out to be, which is that one.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Of the LAPD cops who was.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Accused of being involved in this, they raided his home
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and in his garage one he had a car that
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: looked identical to the car that the shooters in the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: notorious Big Case were in. It was a dark green
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Chevy and Palla. He also had a bunch of walkie talkies,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: which they think that's how the killers communicated was via
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: walkie talkie. And he had a shrine to Tupac in
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: his garage and all of that is treated as completely
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: inconsequential in the USA series, And like if you look
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: into there's like books, if you don't want to watch
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: City Elies because you like hate Johnny Depp or whatever.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: There's books about the theory. There's a lot out there.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It's Russell Poole's theory. Who was another LAPD detective.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: That's the first theory.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: One that landed on the theory that Notorious Big was
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: killed by LAPD officers who were also doing security work
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: for death row records and who were also members of
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the Bloods themselves, and all of that shit was true.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Like it's that's not even a question. There were a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: bunch of investigations they did determine that this group of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: cops were gang members. They were working for death row records,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they were stealing cocaine from evidence rooms and reselling it.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: If you look into the Rampart scandal, that's what it
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: all centers around, is the department that those cops worked for.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: So like, of course they fucking killed Notorious Big.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: They're cops. Who else is going to get away with it?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Like especially like that was that was even crazier than
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know, killing Tupac on the Vegas Strip was
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: pretty bold, like from an eyewitness standpoint, like there were
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of people around.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Right, But from a Tupac histories, from his record standpoint,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: it makes more sense. Yeah, you will figure he has
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: more enemies than Biggie was. You're like, oh, well, of
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: course Tupac was shot. Yeah, but Biggie was more like fuck,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Biggy was shot.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect that when it happened, Like I he
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like Tupac, like he had been shot
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a bunch of times before that. It was pretty clear
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: someone was after Tupac and they got him. But notorious
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Big I had thought at best he was gonna die
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of a heart attack at like twenty nine. I mean,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: he probably would have lived longer than that. Yeah, you
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: think he would have lost weight.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, I think, but in the early two thousands he
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: probably would have gotten to the fat of fat rappers
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: trying to slim down for the new the millennium. Yeah,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: being big is no good no more.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, after Big Pun died, that had to send
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: shockwaves through the fat rapper industry.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: You're right. Had he had lived through Big Pun's death,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: then he would have lost slot of weight.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you ever see pictures of Big Pun before
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: he gained all that weight?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: He was? Yeah, cold liked Yeah, he was. Yeah, he
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: looked like.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: A fucking NFL lineman, but one who is just like
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: all muscle instead of fat, like it was crazy person
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: all right, So yeah, I don't think Diddy. I just
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: don't see that for him, Like I've always taken like
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Sean Combs is a great business man, but in terms
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of an entertainer, he's one of those people who can
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: do everything, just he doesn't do any of it great.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't ride his own rhymes, but he
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: can deliver them adequately. Uh, he can dance. I think
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: he dancing might be the thing he's best.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: At, Like that's the only thing he does.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's as a producer, he's good at picking songs
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to just play in their entirety while people rap over them.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: But also yeah, he he doesn't make the beats himself,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: like he his a production team, but he has himself.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was that way like really early on.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Like it's not like he was like doctor Dre who
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: produced all of his own shit for years and then
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: then eventually got a production team, like right, I think
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Puff Daddy had one pretty much immediately.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: It always And I just.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Don't see him being the kind of guy who would
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: be criminal minded enough to like put a hit out
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: on someone. I mean, yeah, he beat Steve Stout with
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a champagne bottle, remember that.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was crazy and I.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Think it was because they had him nailed to a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: cross in the Knas video for Hate Me.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he thought it was disrespectful to Jesus, so he
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: went and did the Christian thing and beat Steve Stout
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: with a champagne bottle.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: And broke his arm.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Won it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, imagine trying to live that down if you're
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Steve Stout. Of all the people to get beat by,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: It's like when Axel Rose got punched by Tommy Hillfigure,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: which is still one shit, still one of the funniest
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: stories I've ever heard.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: In my life.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Was it because he thought the rumor that he'll figure
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: it was associated with the Kate.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: No, but there were those rumors.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: He was like talking shit to Tommy Hill Figure's girlfriend
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: and Tommy Hill Figure was like telling you, dude, stop,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get punched by Tommy Hill Figure if you don't.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: And sure enough, Axl Rose got punched by Tommy Hill Figure.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he punched him back, which is
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: because it would be one thing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: If the story was man Axl Rose got punched by
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Tommy Hill figure and then Axel Rose broke Tommy Hill
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: figures back over a barroom table, that would be one thing.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: But it's nope, just right, Axl Rose got punched and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: then probably just ran out of the room embarrassed.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Geez, you can't get punched by Tommy Hill figure.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Not not a good look.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: That is not rock and roll.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about another. There's another big one. Sugar
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Knight killed easy E with an aid's needle. This all
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: comes down to that Jimmy Kimmel interview that sug Knight gave.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: But just to give people some background if you're not
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: super familiar with the death of easy E. On March seventeenth,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, he announced to the world that he
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: had AIDS. March twenty sixth, he was dead, So nine
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: days later, it was about a month after he initially
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: found out that he had AIDS, full blown AIDS, so
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: he died pretty quick, and that's one of the reasons
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: some people around him believe he might have been murdered.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: That in the fact that he showed no signs or
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: symptoms like until right up before he died, which is
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: weird for someone with full blown AIDS.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Now, what's the question here? Is a question that should
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Night killed easy or is that easy E with somehow
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: that his death it self is conspiracy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's both.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: There's definitely a conspiracy or a belief among people who
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: were kind of close to him that something happened, like
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: he didn't just naturally die of aides, he was targeted
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: by someone and killed. Let me read this long ass quote.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It's from a rapper named BG Knockout, who is featured
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: on like the Easy E solo albums that came out
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: after he left NWA, which are just like universally fucking terrible.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: When he's disin Dre. That was a team when he
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: was disin Dre. He was hanging with them.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the song real motherfucking G's is about yeah, doctor
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Dre and BG Knockout was one of the other rappers
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: on that, And this is a quote from him. It's
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's kind of long, so bear with me, but this
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: basically runs down the theory. I believe in my heart
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: somebody did something to Eric, whether it was Jerry, whether
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: it was Tamika. I have yet to really know the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: truth about it, but for a person to have full
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: blown AIDS that quickly is suspicious. My little brother, his father,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: died from full blown AIDS from sharing a needle because
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: he was an addict. Now, I saw this man go
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: through these stages, from HIV to full blown AIDS. And
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: when you get a cold, any little thing like that,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: your whole immune system shuts down, so you have to
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: go into the hospital just to recover. Now, to be
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: around Eric for the last three years of his life,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and he never had an episode like this.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Never ever.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Something is strange, something is real odd, and then you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: gonna come out and tell me. When the man goes
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: in there for bronchitis, he comes out and you tell me,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: this man had full blown AIDS. And we've been to
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: New York, we've been to Chicago in below zero weather.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He never got sick. He never had an episode like
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: come on, bra, who are you kidding?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: So that's one part.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Of it is that no matter who did it, someone
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: actually killed Easy as opposed to him dying of AIDS naturally.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I always believe that Easy, that something did happen with
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: but I was always under to understand that did it
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: happen when he went to the White House.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe he shouldn't have had dinner with the president.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember a lot of his people were talking
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: about that. They told him to not to turn it
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: down invitation, but he was so proud he was invited.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: He went, I've always suspected that when he went to
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: that trip something went down in that White House.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: That could be too.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, if our next theory is correct, I could
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: see the government having a vested interest in keeping death
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: row records financially solvent by killing easy.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: But uh, he might have some aide soup.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're that's a little foreshadowing. We'll get to
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that one the other. The other part of this theory, though,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: is that Suge Knight is the one who killed him
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: with an aid's needle. And we all know the genesis
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: of this by now. Suge Knight went on an episode
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: of Jimmy Kimmel, seemed like he was just there to
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: talk about killing people, and uh he said this when
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel asked if Suge Knight was going to shoot him,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: which was very funny, he said, Uh, see, technology is
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: so high, so if you shoot some by you go
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to jail forever. You don't want to go to jail forever.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: They have a new thing out. They have the stuff
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: they call they get blood from somebody with aids and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: they shoot you with it. That's a slow death, the
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: easy thing, you know what I mean? For one thing
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't a slow death. So Sugar Knight got that part wrong.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: He died pretty quick. But I don't know. On the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: one hand, it's like, goddamn, sug that is bold, but
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: also it's almost too bold, like I don't know if
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you'd go on TV and be like easy, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I stuck him with an aid's needle.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: We were both at you know, the Chili's there in Torrents,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and I just happened to see him in line. I
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: had the aid's needle on me and boop. I don't
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: think Sugar Knight would admit to that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Now, you say he was so Johny Guazamo was also there.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: He was promoting a movie, and like you said, Sugar
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: was there promoting his latest murder. Yeah, I don't think
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: should did it, but I think he was in a
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: way dry snitching on the possibility of what happened. Easy. Yeah,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was meaning to him himself. I
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: think it's making a slave reference to the Easy thing
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: in a way like maybe Easy was murdered with ads
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Like I don't, I don't know. It's how you take it,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: But I don't think he himself would mention that he
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: killed Easy.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just there's how you take it, I guess.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: And also I looked into this a little more, and
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: this is a thing that has happened from time to time,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: but all of the uh and I don't mean Shugnight
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: killing people that happens all the time. I mean the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: AIDS needle thing. It generally involves either infected people using
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: their own blood to do it to someone, or someone
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: with access to tainted blood uses it to kill a
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: family member or something like. There's some really crazy stories
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: about like in one case, a father injected his kid
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: with AIDS blood.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I guess, assuming the kid would die and he'd get
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: like insurance money or something.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: But I found a really interesting detail in there that
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: makes me think this is not something you would use
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: as an assassination method. And that is that if you
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: get stuck with a needle like this, your chances of
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: contracting HIV that turns into full blown aids are like
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: one in two hundred. So if you're trying to eliminate
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: an enemy, are you gonna go with a method that
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is going to fail like one hundred and ninety nine
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: out of two hundred times? That seems very risky to me.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: You're missing a part. Yes, that is risky as not
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: totally accurate if you guarantee if you need that death.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: But if the victim is unlucky with their luck, like fuck,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I'm the one out of that two hundred, I know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I got it. I definitely got it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing with my luck.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I know, I got Yeah, and the government probably has
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: some algorithm they run the person through first. I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: that's gonna work on this motherfucker.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: That God's unlucky as shit.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I don't like, what if you did
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: this and they just magic Johnson things and like exercise
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the AIDS out of their body or whatever the fuck
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: he did, that's gonna be a bummer you're gonna have.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Then you're just gonna have to shoot him.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I guess, well, now, when you did the research on that,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: was that stat based on at the time of when
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: he made that statement or present day because it wouldn't
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: it be improved. Now you should have a better AI,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: now it should be better. Yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe there's just an app now in.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Order it like Uber just it's it's a drone.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, the drone. Yeah, man, drone assassinations. Those are
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: going to be such a thing. There's no way they won't.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Be fucked drones with a's needles.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I don't like that at all.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: We tried to, yeah, we I'm sure the American I'm
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: sure the American government wasn't involved at all. But someone
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: tried to kill Maduro with drone bombs in Venezuela. There's
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: video of him just looking up at them, like what
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the fuck is this?
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: And then they don't kill anyone. They failed, So wow.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. The one in two hundred thing
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: bothers me, But like, I would think you would just
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: use some of that like fancy Russian poison that they're
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: like you just like splash that on a person's face and.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: They're gonna explode.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, granted that's a little more noticeable than giving
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: someone AIDS.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: But now would would one in twenty five? Were you?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: One in twenty five is a little better but even then,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess guns aren't like one hundred percent effective,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: but they're pretty effective. Like in the history of presidents
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: who have been shot, Reagan is kind of the exception.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of times it works well.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Ford too, someone tried to shoot Gerald Ford and missed,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: but that didn't even count.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: She wasn't trying. She just pulled a gun and wanted attention.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: She didn't even recatch on a rye.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, she didn't listen.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: To Beatles songs backwards or anything. She probably did all
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: that shit.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. I do think Easy's.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Death is a little suspicious, but also if you look
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: into it there, it's not completely unheard of for a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: person to not have a ton of signs and symptoms
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: that they have full blown AIDS until right near the
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: very end, Like it's not it could have just been AIDS,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Like it's possible.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But like same thing with Bob Marley.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Like Bob Marley's death, there's always been some suggestions that
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: he was like given cancer somehow, And that's one of
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: those things where you suggest that and people are going
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: to get in the comments.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: And go, we don't have the technology to do that.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they're not going to tell you that
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: we have the technology to do that, but we might
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: have the technology to do that.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I always believe whenever we don't have technology or do something,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: and when we do have it, when we get it,
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: is when it's they moved on to better. We get
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: it when we do, you know what I mean? Or
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: was behind Well we don't have it, they have it,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: we have they got better.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's how drones were. I think we had
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: drones for a lot longer than the government led on,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and then eventually they're they're like, well, now we have
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: drones that are the size of flies, so we don't
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: have to tell anyone anything anymore.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Right, we got the big dumb ones, they got the
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: microscopy ones.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the effective ones. We have the fucking
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: KB toy store version.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Bob Marley's death was always weird to me, especially if
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you look into the time he got shot, because he
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: got he got shot once and survived. The people have
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned that maybe the CIA was involved, and the CIA
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: has always been like, no, we weren't involved. Yes, his
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: cameraman was in the CIA, but no, of course we
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: weren't involved, and that's real that the guy who filmed
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Bobby concert in Jamaica in seventy six was an actual
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: CIA agent. And they're like, what, Yeah, we were there
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: to protect him.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: No, you fucking were not. There's no way.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: He was moonlighting. He was moonlighting. He just also happened
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: to be moonlighting as Bob Min's camera.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: That's his passion. Once he really gets his first big break,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: he's going to quit the agency and just film rock concerts.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about this last theory.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: It's been one of the most fascinating theories to me
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time, and I finally found someone who
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: did a little deeper research into it. This theory dates
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: back to twenty twelve, and it is the theory that
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: record labels promoted gangs to rap because they owned stock
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in private prisons and they wanted to promote music that
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: would promote criminal behavior, which would then fill up those
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: private prisons. And there wasn't much information attached to this
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: when it first came out in twenty twelve. It was
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: literally just an email from an anonymous person who was like, Hey,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: this thing happened, And even then I was like, yeah,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: this sounds this sounds right. It actually started with a
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: company called Corrections Corporation of America in twenty twelve. They
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: reached out to all forty eight states, all forty eight
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the continental United States, and they were like, hey, we
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: want to buy your prisons. We want to buy all
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: your prisons and make them private prisons, as many prisons
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: as you want to sell us. But they had one stipulation,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: which was that here I will read it verbatim, an
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: assurance by the agency partner that the agency has a
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: sufficient inmate population to maintain a minimum ninety percent occupancy
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: rate over the term of the contract.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: That is evil.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: That is, I'm saying, we need these fucking prisons filled,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: which means you're either asking for more crime or for
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: more people to be arrested for things that aren't really
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: crimes and sent a prison for it, which good.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: None of that happens in the United States, right.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: This is even before this story popped up, this argument
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: was always something that was discussed even in the black community,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: like this is this is like barbershop talk, like this
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: is something this is the shout out our uncles and
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: cousins told us about, because they're the ones, you know,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: who saw a hip hop go from the Daisy age
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: just kind of took a big step backwards into just
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: black on black violence. Music went from peaceful hip hop
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: to just kind of get it just went the other
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: other way, and that that spread like wildfire. So we
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: were already kind of warned, we were kids that this
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: was going to happen.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: And it's not just that it went from peaceful rap.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: It was like black empowerment rap, like that's what like
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: the Jungle Brothers were all about that and they were
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: fucking huge.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: That's where a tribe.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Call Quis comes from native tongues and all.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was what was happening in rap at the time.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Was it wasn't just that the ReVibe of the music
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: was like uplifting and positive, but people were teaming up,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: like there weren't these like you would have beef, like
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: rappers would have problems with each other, but it would
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: be shit like ll Cool Jay and Cool Mod where
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: they would just release songs and then you see a
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: picture of them in Word Up magazine like shaking hands
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: and shit, and they're like, it's just music.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: It was always one on one. Yeah, it was always
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: one on one and outliars, and it wasn't really cruise.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: It was just one rapper another rapper, they said, they
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: piece and you you moved on.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and most of the conflict was about, uh, well
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: who's the better rapper and you're ripping off my style
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: like it was shit like that.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: It was never well.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking shoot you, like you can
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: get murdered over this, Like it never felt like it
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: was gonna get to that point back then. And yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: then gangster rap happened and it just shut all that
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: shit down. Like Tribe call Quest did fine, like they
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: they survived, did it pretty well, but only until like
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: ninety eight. But like Public Enemy, I feel like Public
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Enemy overnight went from the most revered group in rap
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: to like an afterthought because if you if you listen
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: to the music in our Message album, which being Public Enemy,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: it's spelled very weird, but I'm sure if you just
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: google it that way, it'll come up fucking rules. It's
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: a great album. It might be my favorite Public Enemy album.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't g funk, like, it wasn't slow. You
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: couldn't like listen to it in your car and vibe
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: out with a blunt and it was like anti drugs
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and shit, and man, people hated it.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: It was too bombastic too at the time, You're right,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: it was like it was too everything was chill. That's
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: how you're right. So that was it was too fast,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: too busy. Yeah, it's too loud.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: It's one of their wildest albums in terms of production,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: But that was that, Like, people need to dig into
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Public Enemies output after those first three albums, because they've
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: been a very interesting group this whole time. They've been
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: putting out albums the whole time. They're mostly really good,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and yeah, that was their whole vibe was these songs
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: are chaos. Like the first ice Cube album was produced
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: by the Bomb Squad, who produced most of the Public
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Enemy stuff, and that's why his album sounds nothing like
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: any other West Coast rap album at the time, and
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: none that came after it. Because even that, if you're
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: thinking about the government, like what did we eventually get
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: out of gangster rap? We got East Coast versus West
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Coast and people were like getting shot and killed, like
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Tupac and Notorious Big aren't the only people who died
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: in that. Like one of I think it was a
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: bad Boy Records employee got like beat to death over
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: that shit. And so now think about Ice Cube teaming
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: up with the Bomb Squad. That's the exact opposite of that. Like,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that's not what this government wants. They don't want, like
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: we've seen time and time again, this government doesn't want
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: black people organizing in any way that could become like
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: a nationwide thing. And that's where rap music was headed,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Like it was absolutely headed there, and then along came
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: gangster rap and it was all done. And for that
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: to have worked, there almost had to be some agreement
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: among record labels where they were like, okay, well we're
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: just not going to promote any other kind of rap
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: And that is what it became. Like Deaf Jam Records
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: like remember.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Boss, They like she was like one of def Jam's
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: biggest acts for a while.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: She sucked.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, they pushed the shit out of
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: her and did not promote Public Enemy at all after that.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many albums Public Enemy even had
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: on deaf Jam after that. That fourth one was on
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: deaf Jam, but beyond that, I don't even know. And yeah,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: maybe it was because of this meeting and what I
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: like about this particular article I found is someone did
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: actually dive into these connections, and it's like, you still
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: can't prove that this happened, but these connections are weird.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I'll link to this article in twenty thirteen, someone writing
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: under the name Homeboy sand Man, which that was such
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a big mistake people made in like the two thousands
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: and twenty tens. I was writing under like quirky aliases.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Because now it's like, who the fuck are you? I
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: would love to interview you, but who the fuck are
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: you homeboy Sandman? Am I gonna like he's probably on
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Twitter still using that name, but who knows what I'm
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: saying is I didn't check, but we'll link to the article,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and these connections he comes up were actually pretty compelling.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: The first thing to consider is that, according to a
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: PBS Frontline investigation, ninety percent of what Americans read, watch
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and listen to is controlled by six media companies. And
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: this was twenty thirteen, so that's probably an even smaller
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: number now. But either way, with a group that small,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be that hard to coordinate something like this,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Like there's still gonna be independent labels who are putting
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: out backpack wrap and shit.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: But for the most part.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have most of the country covered if you
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: just get those six controlling entities in the room and go,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: here's what we're doing. You all have to do it,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: or my friend in the CIA with the camera is
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: gonna shoot you with that camera. I know you think
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: that's not possible, but we have gun cameras now.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: And you said earlier the world is ran by g
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: I rls S. That's six letters. Yes, the girls, those
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: are the girls.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the girls. Came to this meeting.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: They rolled up and they told all these record execs,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: you have to push gangster rap. And so there's that
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: part where there's just this very small group of people
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: that control most of the media in the United States
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: and it's.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Still that way. So there's that.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: But then also this article brings up that, according to Bloomberg,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: the largest holder in Corrections Corporation of America is Vanguard
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Group Incorporated. And if you recall we mentioned Corrections Corporation
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: of America early on in this part where they're the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: company that wanted ninety percent occupancy in all of their
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: private prisons, and the largest holder in Corrections Corporation of
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: America is Vanguard Group. Incorporated, which is just one of
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: those companies that invests in anything that they think they
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: can make money from. And Vanguard is also the third
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: largest holder in Viacom and Time Warner. So right there
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: you have a connection in that Vanguard has a vested
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: financial interest in private prisons and in.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: The music business.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: But also they're only the third largest The largest holder
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: in Viacom and Time Warner was at the time a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: company called black Rock, which if you flash back to
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: the first episode, was the name of the company doctor
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Dre set up so he could make money off Burning Man.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Real full circle moment here, And black Rock was also
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the second largest holder in Corrections Corporation of America, second
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: only to Vanguard, and they were the largest stakeholder in
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Viacom in Time Warner at the time. And so all
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: of these companies do have vested interests in both music
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: and private prisons. So you still can't definitively prove it,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: but it's not that crazy. Like, for one thing, people
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: need to get over the idea that no one ever
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: does anything evil for money, like all the time, all
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: the time, like it's the biggest motivator for murder in
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the world, is money, Like if there's money involved, you
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: follow that money, you probably got the person who committed
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the murder. Like everyone knows that. And we know like
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: corporations start wars over money. If you look into fucking
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Halliburton and the Bush Cheney administration, money is such a
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: huge motivator. And if you look into the history of
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: what the American government has done to black people, this
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: is pretty par for the course. Like this is like,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: this is a thing, Like it sounds outlandish, but it's not.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Like a corrupt government is going to try and control
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: the media, and they're going to try and control the
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: media to accomplish the things they want to accomplish. And
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: we wanted to put black people in prison a whole
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: bunch in the eighties and nineties, and this might be
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: one way we fucking did that.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: This corporation have a stake in the correction facility, correctional
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: facilities and the music business. To them, it's like having
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: peanut butter and chocolate in both hands. Yeah, it's just
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: they had to put like for them, it's so perfect.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Why would they not combine to you, they will use
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: one hand to wash the other perfect.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like we did an episode about a jesse
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Ventura episode a conspiracy theory with jesse Ventura episode about
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: the golf oil spill, and that these companies both own
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: a large stake in the music industry and the private
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: prison industry. You could write it off as a coincidence, sure,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: but you also have to take into account how evil
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: these people are. And on that jesse Ventura episode, it
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: came up that about twelve days before the Golfo oil spill, Halliburton,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: who is alleged to have known that this tanker was
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: going to explode because they were doing maintenance work on it,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Halliburton just mysteriously bought a company that specialized in cleaning
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: up oil spills.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: And people are like.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Well, they clearly did that because they knew this was
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: gonna happen and they wanted to make money from this.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: And people are like, nah, come on, they wouldn't do.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: That, Halliburton.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: They're too busy starting un US to fied wars in
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: the Middle East to do that to the Gulf coast.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: And it's like, they would absolutely do all of that shit.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't doubt that Time Warner would fucking get
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people in a room and be like
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: here's how we're gonna make money putting black people in jail.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: If not that crazy, Like it's gonna be a hard
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: one to prove. I don't know if anyone will ever
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: prove it, but it doesn't sound.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Like that nuts.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: I would say I always heard it when I was little,
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: from older from older guys. And this is before this
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: even surfaced, so to anything, this just proved that point,
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Like they're like, we told you, told you, Yeah, they're
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: doing it. They're try some little.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Black boys to jail, and it worked.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: It's still working.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I should mention all of those connections we brought up
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: obviously are from an article from twenty thirteen, but I
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, go look into it now. I bet it
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: hasn't changed that much. I bet, if anything, it's fewer
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: people who own everything now. And that's it.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: That's our episode. Yeah, that is.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: That is the number one hip hop conspiracy of all time,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: as decided by me. But I think this is one
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: that you take pretty seriously too.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good. These are the things we've been kind
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: of watching involved in hip hop the past decade or so.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: The direction is going.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I will say, since the last episode, we have actually
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: confirmed that Nicki minaj is jay Z. So we need
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: to retract everything we said about that not being.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: That's all real. Go look it up. Yeah, that would
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: be so fucking factual.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Uh so, do we have anything to plug before we
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: get out of here? Thank you for doing these episodes.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks for having me. This is fun. These
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: are a tried and true conspiracies. None of them are true.
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: One's false. Yeah, I think that was the thing you
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: got to mention.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Do you have anything to plug before we get out
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: of here?
