- 5:00Speaker 1: What's up meeting?
- 5:02Speaker 8: Good morning, MV josh aall the man, how y'all doing?
- 5:05Speaker 4: Hey girl, pease me me?
- 5:07Speaker 3: Good morning?
- 5:07Speaker 4: All right?
- 5:08Speaker 8: When we start this morning in Washington, where today was
- 5:10Speaker 8: supposed to be payday for federal workers, but with congress
- 5:14Speaker 8: seal deadlock, those checks are not coming. Meanwhile, frustration is
- 5:18Speaker 8: mounting as the pay fight hits another roadblock on Capitol
- 5:21Speaker 8: Hill and the Senate. They blocked three different bills yesterday,
- 5:25Speaker 8: one from Republicans and two from Democrats, all aimed at
- 5:29Speaker 8: making sure federal employees get paid while the shutdown drags
- 5:32Speaker 8: on in its fourth week, and Republican Senator Ron Johnson
- 5:36Speaker 8: of Wisconsin he pushed a bill to pay only essential
- 5:39Speaker 8: workers still required to work, so your air traffic controllers,
- 5:42Speaker 8: your TSA agents, your military personnel. That bill failled fifty
- 5:46Speaker 8: four to forty five. Democrats they blocked that plan, saying
- 5:50Speaker 8: it gave too much power to the White House Budget Office,
- 5:53Speaker 8: letting them decide who gets paid and who doesn't. Instead,
- 5:57Speaker 8: Democrats they offered two separate bills that would pay all
- 5:59Speaker 8: federal workers, including the seven hundred and fifty thousand who
- 6:03Speaker 8: have been furloughed and sent home without pay since October one.
- 6:07Speaker 8: That bill was introduced by Maryland Senator Chris ben Holland,
- 6:11Speaker 8: and it included a provision to stop the layoffs during
- 6:14Speaker 8: the shutdown. Then the second bill from Michigan Senator Gary
- 6:17Speaker 8: Peters would cover back pay from the start of the
- 6:19Speaker 8: shutdown through the day it would take effect. But Republicans
- 6:22Speaker 8: block those bills. Still, some lawmakers say they're working to
- 6:26Speaker 8: find a compromise. A few Democrats, including Senator John Offseth, Offseth,
- 6:32Speaker 8: Rafael Warnock and John Fetterman, they voted to advance the
- 6:36Speaker 8: Republican bill, saying that essential workers needed to be paid
- 6:40Speaker 8: even as negotiations continued. And while that debate continues over
- 6:44Speaker 8: who gets paid and who doesn't get paid, Trump says
- 6:46Speaker 8: he's found another way.
- 6:47Speaker 9: To make sure some workers get a pay check. Let's
- 6:50Speaker 9: listen to that.
- 6:51Speaker 10: Friend of mine talking about donors. A friend of mine,
- 6:53Speaker 10: a man that's great. I'm not going to use his
- 6:55Speaker 10: name unless he lets me do it.
- 6:57Speaker 4: He was.
- 6:58Speaker 10: He called us the other day and he said, I'd
- 6:59Speaker 10: like to contribute any short for you have because of
- 7:02Speaker 10: the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute personally, contribute any
- 7:07Speaker 10: short for you have with the military, because I love
- 7:10Speaker 10: the military and I love the country. And today he
- 7:13Speaker 10: sent us a check for one hundred and thirty million
- 7:17Speaker 10: dollars and that's going to go to the military.
- 7:19Speaker 5: Yeah, so where's the money like that? Where's the money?
- 7:23Speaker 5: I need my money now, I ain't you know, they
- 7:25Speaker 5: ain't got paid in weeks. Where's the money?
- 7:28Speaker 9: Yeah, well, we'll see what happens with that. He just
- 7:30Speaker 9: said that it was a personal donor. He did not
- 7:32Speaker 9: say any names.
- 7:33Speaker 8: There's been no word yet on if the military has
- 7:36Speaker 8: received that, so we'll continue to follow that. But today
- 7:38Speaker 8: mark's day twenty four of the government shutdown. Either side
- 7:42Speaker 8: has been able to reach a deal, and it's hundreds
- 7:44Speaker 8: of thousands of workers wait for their next paycheck. President
- 7:47Speaker 8: Trump is preparing to leave for Asia with no compromise
- 7:50Speaker 8: in sight.
- 7:51Speaker 5: So that's a great headline to follow though, Mimi, because
- 7:54Speaker 5: he announced that somebody gave him a check one hundred
- 7:56Speaker 5: and thirty million dollars in the military. Let's follow it
- 7:58Speaker 5: and see if he actually gives to the military, because
- 8:02Speaker 5: you know, he'll say something and then become a headline
- 8:04Speaker 5: and everybody will say, well, you know, Trump got one
- 8:06Speaker 5: hundred and thirty million dollars and gave it to the military.
- 8:08Speaker 5: I bet you they never get that money.
- 8:10Speaker 4: M h.
- 8:11Speaker 8: We'll see, We'll see what happens with that. We will
- 8:13Speaker 8: definitely continue to follow that. And President Trump says his
- 8:16Speaker 8: next move in his next move in on the war
- 8:20Speaker 8: on drugs could target people on land, not just at sea.
- 8:23Speaker 8: So he's calling the recent US military strikes on drug
- 8:27Speaker 8: smuggling boats a big success, saying that traffickers are now
- 8:31Speaker 8: moving more drugs on land and no longer on sea.
- 8:34Speaker 8: So he says that his team will brief Congress about
- 8:36Speaker 8: the plan. He doesn't think that they will need permission
- 8:39Speaker 8: to move forward on a formal declaration of war. So
- 8:42Speaker 8: President Trump, he's promising a tougher approach on the drug trade.
- 8:47Speaker 9: And let's listen to what he had to say.
- 8:49Speaker 10: Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a
- 8:52Speaker 10: declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people
- 8:56Speaker 10: that are bringing drugs into our country.
- 8:58Speaker 4: We're going to kill them.
- 9:00Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna be like dead dead.
- 9:03Speaker 6: But you know what they were saying, I mean, I
- 9:04Speaker 6: don't know how true this is because you know, people
- 9:06Speaker 6: are conspiracy theorists and all that other stuff. They were
- 9:09Speaker 6: saying that a lot of the boats that he was
- 9:12Speaker 6: actually hitting was fishermen boats, that they weren't actually.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Drugging a conspiracy.
- 9:15Speaker 1: That's true, though they said a bunch of them.
- 9:17Speaker 4: It just wasn't one about two. I don't know about
- 9:20Speaker 4: a bunch of them.
- 9:21Speaker 9: I heard about a couple too, but they're just saying.
- 9:23Speaker 8: And then there were two survivors, and so they were
- 9:26Speaker 8: sent to what I think it was Ecuador, Columbia, and
- 9:29Speaker 8: you know, so there's just there's a lot of there's
- 9:31Speaker 8: a lot going on. There was a one a woman
- 9:33Speaker 8: who said that her husband, who was a fisherman on
- 9:35Speaker 8: his way to work, was killed.
- 9:36Speaker 9: Until you know, Defense Secretary peithe Headseth.
- 9:39Speaker 8: He he's backing Trump up, saying that the military will
- 9:42Speaker 8: go after drug cartels the same way that we went
- 9:45Speaker 8: after terrorist groups.
- 9:46Speaker 9: Like al Qaeda. But not everyone is on board.
- 9:49Speaker 8: Lawmakers on both parties say they haven't been given clear
- 9:52Speaker 8: information on exactly what's happening, and leaders in Latin America
- 9:56Speaker 8: are calling the US strikes illegal and murder.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:00Speaker 8: Trump also he's taking aim at Columbia and Mexico, claiming
- 10:03Speaker 8: that both countries are run by drug cartels, something their
- 10:06Speaker 8: government strongly denies. And right now, it's it's really unclear
- 10:09Speaker 8: whether these land strikes could happen and what they will
- 10:13Speaker 8: look like. And so we'll see if Congress steps in
- 10:15Speaker 8: before things escalate any further.
- 10:17Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, Mimi.
- 10:19Speaker 9: Absolutely.

- 19:38Speaker 24: went down that big n b A. You know, the
- 19:40Speaker 24: Feds sweeping in on that alleged gambling, all the allegations
- 19:44Speaker 24: with uh, you know, all the guys Chauncey, Billups, Terry Roger,
- 19:47Speaker 24: Damon Jones.
- 19:48Speaker 11: We're gonna talk about it, all right.
- 19:49Speaker 6: We'll get into that. Next door moves to Breakfast Club
- 19:51Speaker 6: of Warre the Breakfast Club.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Lamie coming with straight fast.
- 19:59Speaker 4: She gets some new somebody that knows somebody.
- 20:02Speaker 11: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
- 20:05Speaker 4: She'd be having the latest on the.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Large the latest with Lauren La Rosa.
- 20:10Speaker 5: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
- 20:13Speaker 5: have a little bit of everything.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Well it's the Ladies on the Breakfast Club.
- 20:18Speaker 24: So yesterday there was a press conference held here in
- 20:21Speaker 24: New York City where the FEDS were able to break down.
- 20:25Speaker 24: FBI Director Cash Hotel along with the United States Attorney
- 20:29Speaker 24: broke down what this whole you know, big arrest around
- 20:32Speaker 24: some huge names in NBA, what it is and why
- 20:36Speaker 24: it's happening. And when I mentioned the names, I'm mentioning
- 20:39Speaker 24: Chauncey Billups, Terry Roger, and Damon Jones. Let's take a
- 20:42Speaker 24: listen to cash hotaeil on the background of this case
- 20:45Speaker 24: and what's actually happening.
- 20:46Speaker 20: Individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier
- 20:50Speaker 20: were taking into custody today. This is an illegal gambling
- 20:53Speaker 20: operation and sports rigging operation that spanned the.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Course of years.
- 20:57Speaker 20: The FBI let a coordinative takedown RUSS eleven States to
- 21:01Speaker 20: arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case, which
- 21:05Speaker 20: is very much ongoing. We also entered and executed a
- 21:10Speaker 20: system of justice against La Casinoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino,
- 21:15Speaker 20: Genevesi and Luchas crime families, chargers, and the arrests that
- 21:18Speaker 20: were taken down across this country range from wire fraud,
- 21:21Speaker 20: money laundering, extortion, robbery, illegal gambling. This work is also
- 21:25Speaker 20: representative of a colossal portion of the FBI's mandate to
- 21:29Speaker 20: keep America safe and to keep our entertainment industry fair
- 21:32Speaker 20: and secure. We're talking about tens of millions of dollars
- 21:35Speaker 20: in fraud and theft and robbery across a multi year investigation.
- 21:41Speaker 24: So what they're alleging is that the names that we
- 21:44Speaker 24: just mentioned allegedly teamed up with a bunch of other
- 21:47Speaker 24: individuals and different mafia families in two separate things that
- 21:52Speaker 24: they're indining for. So there is the sports betting side
- 21:54Speaker 24: of it, which has six defendants, and then there's the
- 21:56Speaker 24: illegal gambling or the rig poker game side of it,
- 21:58Speaker 24: which has thirty one defendants. Now they cross over because
- 22:01Speaker 24: they're alleging that Damon Jones, Eric Ernest and Shane Hennon
- 22:06Speaker 24: overlapped and charges somewhere within these two indictments that they have,
- 22:11Speaker 24: and what they're saying is that there would be these
- 22:14Speaker 24: on the power game side, there would be these illegal games,
- 22:16Speaker 24: they alleged that would be set up and you would
- 22:19Speaker 24: have these big names from the NBA and they would
- 22:21Speaker 24: be used as almost like something flashy to get these
- 22:24Speaker 24: people to come in and want to sit down and
- 22:25Speaker 24: play poker. And when the people would sit down, the
- 22:28Speaker 24: games would be super rigged, I mean like high tech
- 22:31Speaker 24: technology type of rigged. And we have audio about them
- 22:36Speaker 24: talking about the technology and how in depth that technology
- 22:38Speaker 24: was at those poker table.
- 22:39Speaker 11: Let's take a listen to number two.
- 22:42Speaker 2: The defendants used a variety of very sophisticated cheating technologies,
- 22:47Speaker 2: some of which were provided by other defendants in exchange
- 22:50Speaker 2: for a share of the profits from the scheme. For example,
- 22:54Speaker 2: they used off the shelf shuffling machines that had been
- 22:57Speaker 2: secretly altered in order to read the cards in the deck,
- 23:01Speaker 2: predict which player at the table had the best poker hands,
- 23:05Speaker 2: and relay that information to an off site operator. The
- 23:08Speaker 2: off site operator sent the information via cell phone back
- 23:13Speaker 2: to a co conspirator at the table, and that person
- 23:16Speaker 2: at the table was.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Known as the quarterback. The quarterback then.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Signaled secretly the information he had received from others to
- 23:25Speaker 2: others at the table and together they used that information
- 23:29Speaker 2: in order to win their games and to cheat the victims.
- 23:34Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 23:35Speaker 6: I guess what I was reading that Allegedly they was
- 23:38Speaker 6: saying that Chauncey Billips was using his influence to bring
- 23:40Speaker 6: people to play some of these games. And they said
- 23:42Speaker 6: through the cards they had some sunglasses that you could
- 23:45Speaker 6: actually see the what they had. So it's like if
- 23:48Speaker 6: you had a King King, you could see through the
- 23:50Speaker 6: sunglasses that that person had a King King.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Glasses to see the car.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, I guess how they did it.
- 23:57Speaker 6: It was whatever, if you had a King on the
- 24:00Speaker 6: back of a card, you could only see it through
- 24:02Speaker 6: the glass.
- 24:03Speaker 11: And even the shuffler. So we have that breakdown to
- 24:05Speaker 11: less's than a number. Faber, No, it was. It is extensive.
- 24:09Speaker 11: Let's take a listen.
- 24:10Speaker 2: These defendants perpetrated a scheme to defraud by betting on inside,
- 24:15Speaker 2: non public information about NBA athletes and teams. The non
- 24:19Speaker 2: public information included when specific players would be sitting out
- 24:23Speaker 2: future games or when they would pull themselves out early
- 24:27Speaker 2: for purported injuries or illnesses. They relied on corrupt individuals,
- 24:31Speaker 2: including Jones and Rosier. They also misused information to obtained
- 24:35Speaker 2: through long standing friendships that they had with NBA players
- 24:39Speaker 2: and coaches, and in at least one instance, they got
- 24:42Speaker 2: their information by threatening a current player porter because of
- 24:46Speaker 2: his pre existing gambling debts. Defendants used this non public
- 24:50Speaker 2: information to place hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraudulentfects,
- 24:54Speaker 2: mostly in the form of prop bets on individual player performance.
- 25:00Speaker 5: It's two different cases because I hear the mafia involved
- 25:02Speaker 5: in one of them, and then the other one sounds
- 25:04Speaker 5: like it's just NBA players.
- 25:05Speaker 4: Like that one just heard sound like it's just NBA players.
- 25:08Speaker 24: Yeah, So it's two different cases set, That's what I'm
- 25:09Speaker 24: saying in the beginning. So you have the sports betting
- 25:11Speaker 24: side of it, which is where they're alleging that, you know,
- 25:13Speaker 24: certain people would use inside information that wouldn't be public
- 25:17Speaker 24: information to help people go and bet and win the money. So,
- 25:19Speaker 24: for example, according to docs, they list co conspirator number eight,
- 25:23Speaker 24: and that is Billups. They say that one time he
- 25:27Speaker 24: mentioned to a better that they were he alleged that
- 25:29Speaker 24: he was going to rest some of his key players
- 25:32Speaker 24: in the matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The Better they say,
- 25:35Speaker 24: then allegedly took the information to another better and had
- 25:38Speaker 24: them place a wager on the Blazers losing, and Portland
- 25:42Speaker 24: did go on to lose to Chicago in that game.
- 25:44Speaker 24: And they say, although the fest didn't say in the
- 25:47Speaker 24: press conference, that Billips was involved in inside sports betting
- 25:51Speaker 24: conspiracies that resulted in certain wins.
- 25:54Speaker 11: Basically, like they can't connect it to together.
- 25:56Speaker 24: So Roger and the things that he was doing on
- 25:58Speaker 24: the sports betting side and billups, they're not connecting them,
- 26:00Speaker 24: but they're saying that they were happening, like both of
- 26:02Speaker 24: them were doing alleging both of them were doing these things.
- 26:05Speaker 6: But you said something that's that's very important too. I
- 26:07Speaker 6: don't think people remember, but you know, a couple of
- 26:09Speaker 6: years ago, you remember Porter was banned for doing that.
- 26:12Speaker 6: But they're saying that the crime families allegedly threatened Porter
- 26:16Speaker 6: to continue on.
- 26:17Speaker 11: Yeah, so they threatened him and Porter, you know.
- 26:20Speaker 6: Is Porter's brother from the New Jersey in place for
- 26:22Speaker 6: the Brooklyn Nets. Now it's his brother that has been
- 26:24Speaker 6: banned from the league for a while now.
- 26:25Speaker 24: Yeah, and they talk about They talked about that for
- 26:27Speaker 24: a little bit in a press conference too, because they
- 26:28Speaker 24: said that there were not even just with him. They
- 26:31Speaker 24: said that with other people, like some of the people
- 26:33Speaker 24: that lost their money they were they used intimidation these families,
- 26:36Speaker 24: intimidation and violence and different things to keep it concealed,
- 26:40Speaker 24: but also to keep people playing, because once you're in,
- 26:42Speaker 24: they want you in and they want you to keep
- 26:43Speaker 24: going because they're trying to win all this money.
- 26:46Speaker 5: I didn't know that Mafia still existed, like I was
- 26:48Speaker 5: thinking of, And is this a situation where they was
- 26:52Speaker 5: after the Mafia and the NBA players just happened to
- 26:55Speaker 5: be there, or were they all in cahoots together.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I don't.
- 27:00Speaker 11: I don't know. I can't really determine that from what
- 27:02Speaker 11: I saw.
- 27:03Speaker 24: I feel like certain things I read make me feel like, yes,
- 27:06Speaker 24: they were after the Mafia, and then the NBA players
- 27:08Speaker 24: came in, and then other stuff I read, it's like
- 27:10Speaker 24: this has been going on for a long time, allegedly
- 27:12Speaker 24: around the NBA, so there's always been eyes on this
- 27:14Speaker 24: and then this came up.
- 27:15Speaker 11: So I can't answer that indefinitely.
- 27:17Speaker 6: Nowin' front, if you ever been to a casino, I'll
- 27:19Speaker 6: be feeling like the casino be knowing on my car
- 27:20Speaker 6: sometimes too.
- 27:21Speaker 1: That's why I don't play games anymore.
- 27:23Speaker 4: Like sometimes you have a.
- 27:23Speaker 6: Black jacket and all of a sudden, I feel like
- 27:25Speaker 6: they push a button and now, all of a sudden
- 27:27Speaker 6: they got a black jack too.
- 27:28Speaker 5: No, no, I'm gonna tell you something, but I want
- 27:30Speaker 5: those glasses, okay, because I got a homegirl named Dion
- 27:34Speaker 5: and she be busting my ass and spade and I'm

- 29:21Speaker 3: Girls?
- 29:21Speaker 9: Me me good morning.
- 29:23Speaker 8: Well we start this hour with talk that is raising
- 29:25Speaker 8: eyebrows and a few constitutional questions. This morning, a former
- 29:29Speaker 8: Trump advisor Seve Bannon says the president's inner circle is
- 29:33Speaker 8: already planning for a third term in the White House now.
- 29:36Speaker 8: Bannon made the claim during an interview with The Economists
- 29:39Speaker 8: this week, saying he's certain that Trump will be president
- 29:42Speaker 8: in twenty twenty eight.
- 29:43Speaker 9: Let's listen to some of that exchange.
- 29:45Speaker 26: He's going to get a third term, so Trump twenty eight.
- 29:47Speaker 26: Trump is going to be president of twenty eight.
- 29:49Speaker 4: And people just sort to get accommodated with that.
- 29:51Speaker 26: So what about the twenty second of Edmund There's many
- 29:53Speaker 26: different alternatives. At the appropriate time will lay out what
- 29:56Speaker 26: the plan is. But there's a plan, and the country
- 29:58Speaker 26: needs him to be president.
- 29:59Speaker 17: Nice.
- 30:00Speaker 26: We have to finish what we started. Trump is a
- 30:03Speaker 26: vehicle of divine prophetence.
- 30:04Speaker 4: He's an instrument.
- 30:05Speaker 26: He's very imperfect, he's not churchy, not particularly religious, but
- 30:09Speaker 26: he's an instrument of divine well, and you could tell
- 30:12Speaker 26: this of how he's pulled this off. We need him
- 30:15Speaker 26: for at least one more term, right, and he'll get
- 30:18Speaker 26: that in twenty eight.
- 30:19Speaker 4: I hate that this conversation has been normalized.
- 30:21Speaker 5: I mean every time they have this conversation, I'm just like,
- 30:24Speaker 5: so just nobody cares about democracy anymore. And for everybody
- 30:27Speaker 5: who says things like what means Barack Obama can one
- 30:31Speaker 5: can run? I keep trying to tell y'all, if Trump
- 30:34Speaker 5: gets to run again for a third term, it doesn't
- 30:37Speaker 5: matter who he's running against.
- 30:39Speaker 4: The fight is already fixed.
- 30:41Speaker 9: Okay, definitely already fixed.
- 30:44Speaker 8: Constitutional experts say there's no real path for this to happen.
- 30:47Speaker 8: They say changing the constitution would take two thirds of
- 30:50Speaker 8: a vote in Congress or approval from two thirds of
- 30:53Speaker 8: US states, something that they say that is nearly impossible.
- 30:56Speaker 8: And another theory that's been floated having the vice president
- 30:59Speaker 8: in eight step down so that Trump could take over,
- 31:02Speaker 8: but that's also seen as legally shaky. You know, two terms,
- 31:07Speaker 8: like you said, Charlottage should mean two terms, but anything
- 31:11Speaker 8: else would be unconstitutional and could spark a major political crisis.
- 31:14Speaker 8: But we are in several major political crisis right now,
- 31:17Speaker 8: So who knows what the end will look like?
- 31:21Speaker 5: Well, what if he just refuses to leave in twenty
- 31:25Speaker 5: and twenty eight, you know, if he just refuses to
- 31:27Speaker 5: leave and then we find out how many of those
- 31:31Speaker 5: generals and admirals actually did pledge their loyalty to him
- 31:34Speaker 5: when they had that meeting with Pete hexf a couple
- 31:37Speaker 5: of weeks ago.
- 31:39Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, there's so many different possibilities.
- 31:42Speaker 8: So again, you're right, it's being normalized. But I think
- 31:45Speaker 8: that Trump, when he says he's going to do something
- 31:47Speaker 8: people should really pay attention, we tend to lop it off, like, oh,
- 31:50Speaker 8: that's impossible, but is it?
- 31:52Speaker 9: You know, So we'll continue to see what that looks like.
- 31:56Speaker 4: All right.
- 31:56Speaker 8: Well, Target is cutting jobs in what is being called
- 31:59Speaker 8: the big bus shake up the company has ever seen
- 32:02Speaker 8: in a decade now. The retailer announced its plans to
- 32:04Speaker 8: eliminate eighteen hundred corporate positions as it tries to jumpstart
- 32:09Speaker 8: growth after four years of sluggish sales. The cuts will
- 32:12Speaker 8: include about one thousand layoffs and another eight hundred jobs
- 32:15Speaker 8: that will not be filled, and that's roughly eight percent
- 32:17Speaker 8: of its reduction in workforce now affected employees will be
- 32:21Speaker 8: notified next week, and the layoffs come as Target faces
- 32:24Speaker 8: mounting challenges from declining store traffic and inventory issues to
- 32:29Speaker 8: a trop in stock value. Now shares have fallen about
- 32:32Speaker 8: sixty five percent since twenty twenty one, while competitors like
- 32:35Speaker 8: Walmart they have surged ahead and beyond pressures.
- 32:38Speaker 9: The business.
- 32:39Speaker 8: Target has also faced public boycotts we know that one
- 32:43Speaker 8: led by pastor Jamal.
- 32:45Speaker 9: Bryant, a forty day fast, which.
- 32:47Speaker 8: Happened earlier this year after the company scaled back diversity,
- 32:50Speaker 8: equity and inclusion programs. Now Target says that the job cuts,
- 32:54Speaker 8: though they will not affect store employees or workers in
- 32:57Speaker 8: its warehouse. The layoffs are only limited to Corforit positions,
- 33:01Speaker 8: they say. Those that will be losing their jobs, though,
- 33:03Speaker 8: will receive pay and benefits through January third, along with
- 33:07Speaker 8: several packages. So there's a lot of shakeups happening there. Yes,
- 33:13Speaker 8: But while one retailer is cutting back, another one is
- 33:17Speaker 8: making a comeback. Toys r Uss is reopening more than
- 33:21Speaker 8: thirty stores.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Across the seat.
- 33:23Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, just in time for the holidays.
- 33:27Speaker 8: This will include eight permanent flagship locations and more than
- 33:30Speaker 8: twenty temporary holiday locations. It's the latest revival for the
- 33:34Speaker 8: once dominant toy retailer, which filed for bankruptcy back in
- 33:38Speaker 8: twenty seventeen. They closed more than seven hundred stores nationwide
- 33:42Speaker 8: back there back then, but the brand has been slowly
- 33:45Speaker 8: rebuilding under a new ownership.
- 33:47Speaker 13: Now.
- 33:47Speaker 8: At his peak, back in the eighties and nineties, Toys
- 33:50Speaker 8: r Uss was the destination for kids inherents? Do you
- 33:53Speaker 8: guys remember this famous for its giant stores aisles.
- 33:57Speaker 7: Of toyses was so said when that store out of business,
- 34:00Speaker 7: I was so saying, my son was three years old. Yeah,
- 34:03Speaker 7: now I got a one year old, So now I
- 34:04Speaker 7: got a reason to go back.
- 34:05Speaker 3: I'm so everybody.
- 34:06Speaker 9: Absolutely, And what's that famous jingle?
- 34:08Speaker 11: Do y'all remember it?
- 34:09Speaker 9: I don't want to I want to grow up? Absolutely?
- 34:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:14Speaker 8: So the company is trying to bring back all that
- 34:17Speaker 8: nostalgia for kids these days. And so not only is
- 34:20Speaker 8: the nostalgia they said that the company will bring back,
- 34:22Speaker 8: it's gonna be the stores opening will bring seasonal jobs
- 34:25Speaker 8: and more full time positions.
- 34:26Speaker 4: So I don't know how that's gonna work.
- 34:28Speaker 5: I mean, they would almost have to make themselves like
- 34:31Speaker 5: a destination of bench space like it would have to
- 34:35Speaker 5: be things for the kids to do inside the store.
- 34:38Speaker 5: I don't know if just walking in the store and
- 34:40Speaker 5: walking down the aisle looksite kids anymore.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't think so seated. That's what
- 34:43Speaker 1: I was thinking. I was like, kids always want something
- 34:46Speaker 1: to do.
- 34:46Speaker 6: It's to the point now where kids be like, take
- 34:47Speaker 6: me to Target because that's where they have childs. But now,
- 34:51Speaker 6: like you said, they need places for kids to go
- 34:54Speaker 6: where kids can say, I want this, I see the
- 34:55Speaker 6: new toy, I want anurth thing, I want video games,
- 34:58Speaker 6: I want.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Arts to play pain And there's got to be something
- 35:00Speaker 5: for them to do, like when you take them to
- 35:02Speaker 5: like the American Dream Mall is stuff for kids to do.
- 35:06Speaker 4: That's what Toys r US needs.
- 35:07Speaker 1: But it's a toys the rust in American dream All
- 35:08Speaker 1: though it is no it is.
- 35:10Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah I didn't know that.
- 35:12Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 35:13Speaker 9: So I think you're right. I think both of you're right.
- 35:15Speaker 8: I know when I take my son to the store,
- 35:16Speaker 8: being able to walk down the aisle and try everything out,
- 35:19Speaker 8: because now you just order something from Amazon.
- 35:21Speaker 9: And it's there, but now you get to play with
- 35:23Speaker 9: each little thing. Yeah, I think they'll like that too,
- 35:25Speaker 9: you know. So all right, y'all, well that is your
- 35:29Speaker 9: front page news.

- 36:59Speaker 6: Ruben Vincent, what's up guys?
- 37:01Speaker 1: Feeling all as well?
- 37:02Speaker 18: Man?
- 37:03Speaker 5: I love seeing this because I always feel like the young,
- 37:07Speaker 5: younger lyricists need to get with the o G veteran producers,
- 37:10Speaker 5: like somebody like Knife and create magic. I don't think that,
- 37:15Speaker 5: and I could be wrong, but I don't think that
- 37:17Speaker 5: there's anybody that can, you know, do for a Ruben
- 37:19Speaker 5: what a knife could sound?
- 37:21Speaker 4: Wise? What you think, Rube? I agree?
- 37:23Speaker 1: Just being real, I mean, I don't think it's been
- 37:25Speaker 1: done on this level, you know what I mean.
- 37:27Speaker 27: I feel like, you know, there's been few folks that
- 37:29Speaker 27: might have deer records, but it's either sending the beats
- 37:32Speaker 27: off and then they over there. Like we really sat
- 37:34Speaker 27: in the studio with each other, you know what I mean.
- 37:36Speaker 27: It was I moved in the studio for six months,
- 37:38Speaker 27: sleeping on the couch. So it was like, you know,
- 37:40Speaker 27: he going to his crib, but I'll wake up, go
- 37:43Speaker 27: to the gym. He pull up at twelve o'clock and
- 37:44Speaker 27: we just really the synergy was there, you know what
- 37:47Speaker 27: I mean. So I think this is the first of
- 37:48Speaker 27: his conference.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Do you what do you have the time?
- 37:52Speaker 6: Because you're also a professor, Like when do you have
- 37:55Speaker 6: the time? I've seen nine so many times, and it
- 37:57Speaker 6: really never has to do with music. It's always I
- 37:59Speaker 6: matter speaking like.
- 38:00Speaker 4: That old basketball that's one two. Yeah, when do you
- 38:03Speaker 4: have the time?
- 38:03Speaker 20: Bro?
- 38:04Speaker 1: Man?
- 38:05Speaker 5: That's the beauty about living in North Carolina, dog Like
- 38:08Speaker 5: there's no rat race to run really, and so I
- 38:12Speaker 5: kind of you know, I teach twice a week. I
- 38:14Speaker 5: teach at Duke on Wednesdays and Wake Forest University on Thursdays,
- 38:18Speaker 5: and with outside of that, the rest of the week
- 38:20Speaker 5: is either comprised of doing stuff with basketball or just
- 38:23Speaker 5: making music, and so that's how I deal with it.
- 38:25Speaker 5: But I think the biggest thing between me and him
- 38:28Speaker 5: is what teaching has helped me do that too. Teaching
- 38:31Speaker 5: has helped me understand the next generation way more than
- 38:34Speaker 5: anybody else. Most people only deal with like seventeen eighteen
- 38:38Speaker 5: or eighteen nineteen, twenty year olds. That's like family members,
- 38:41Speaker 5: blah blah blah, and they use those people to like
- 38:44Speaker 5: put a blanket on how every eighteen year old acts me.
- 38:47Speaker 5: I've been looking at eighteen year olds and twenty two
- 38:50Speaker 5: year olds since what nineteen years now, this is my
- 38:54Speaker 5: nineteen year teacher. So an eighteen year old in two
- 38:56Speaker 5: thousand and six and an eighteen year old in twenty sixteen,
- 39:00Speaker 5: an eighteen year old twenty twenty five, them three different
- 39:02Speaker 5: eighteen year old of course, so I kind of look
- 39:04Speaker 5: at it that way. But the thing about me and
- 39:06Speaker 5: him is a lot of people don't think that this.
- 39:10Speaker 5: These two generations can't communicate well fact, and that's kind
- 39:15Speaker 5: of we debunked that with this. I mean even when
- 39:18Speaker 5: I first met him. That's how it's been. But we
- 39:20Speaker 5: kind of, you know, getting away as far as time. Yeah, man,
- 39:24Speaker 5: I just I'm just real focused la main No, I'm
- 39:26Speaker 5: just real focus on what I do, what I need
- 39:28Speaker 5: to do. I like serving the culture all the time.
- 39:31Speaker 5: And yeah, man, if I'm not helping the culture, then
- 39:35Speaker 5: I'm taking away from it. I feel like with hip
- 39:37Speaker 5: hop though, you know, young men like Ruben are trying
- 39:40Speaker 5: to do what y'all already did, So they got to
- 39:44Speaker 5: come to you for that sound.
- 39:45Speaker 4: You can't treat that.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Man.
- 39:46Speaker 5: I want to make an illmatic I want to make
- 39:47Speaker 5: something that sound like reasonable doubt.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I want to make something that sound like the First
- 39:51Speaker 4: Little Brother. I like, you got to come to the
- 39:53Speaker 4: people who did that then.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I think it's each one's teach one, you
- 39:57Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 39:57Speaker 27: And you know they talk about you know, they say
- 40:02Speaker 27: it didn't exist but the Willie Lynch letter. But you
- 40:04Speaker 27: know what I'm saying, it's real common to what really happens.
- 40:07Speaker 27: You know what I'm saying from breaking generations apart and
- 40:09Speaker 27: you know, separating us. But you know, I had my father.
- 40:12Speaker 27: We didn't live in the same house, but you know
- 40:14Speaker 27: he always used to pick me up on weekends. So
- 40:16Speaker 27: I know how to take a person's counsel, you know
- 40:19Speaker 27: what I mean. And I also too, is like I'm
- 40:21Speaker 27: a sponge, you know what I mean. So it's like
- 40:24Speaker 27: I'm willing to learn, you know what I mean where
- 40:25Speaker 27: I feel like you know, people, some people my age,
- 40:27Speaker 27: they'll be turned off and try to like, you know, cool,
- 40:30Speaker 27: but I think for me, it's just like I want
- 40:32Speaker 27: to know. And then also too, they were our age
- 40:35Speaker 27: when they were making the illmatics. They were our age
- 40:37Speaker 27: when they was making the reasonable doubts, you know what
- 40:38Speaker 27: I mean. They make it seem like now me being
- 40:40Speaker 27: twenty four and me being like having debt to my
- 40:43Speaker 27: lyrics or wisdom is like like whoa, you know what
- 40:46Speaker 27: I mean?
- 40:46Speaker 1: Like, oh you you sound like oh, but it's like yeah,
- 40:50Speaker 1: it's that right, yeah, right.
- 40:52Speaker 27: So it's like yo, like it's not uncommon, you know
- 40:55Speaker 27: what I mean, And it's only right that, you know,
- 40:57Speaker 27: you go tapping with the pioneers who've been there before,
- 41:00Speaker 27: because they the only ones they can tell you, you.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Know what I mean, You sitting and listen to somebody
- 41:03Speaker 1: who ain't never done it don't make no sense to me.
- 41:05Speaker 6: Is there a place for lyricists in this game to
- 41:08Speaker 6: be at the top of the game right. And the
- 41:10Speaker 6: reason I say that is you mentioned you mentioned Jay,
- 41:12Speaker 6: you mentioned Nows. You know, you could talk Park, you
- 41:15Speaker 6: can talk Big. They were lyricists, but they were top
- 41:18Speaker 6: and people respected them as being the top. You can
- 41:20Speaker 6: look at outcasts and even TI like they were top.
- 41:23Speaker 6: But now it seems like that lyricists they put in
- 41:25Speaker 6: a box.
- 41:26Speaker 5: You know, with our casts, man, we have to understand
- 41:28Speaker 5: what our casts. It took a couple of albums for
- 41:31Speaker 5: everybody to truly respect our cast.
- 41:33Speaker 1: Correct.
- 41:34Speaker 5: It wasn't from the South, I mean, Southern playerlistic Okay, okay,
- 41:37Speaker 5: you know what, having a source awards. Then at Aliens,
- 41:40Speaker 5: it wasn't until they got to a Quemini and stank
- 41:43Speaker 5: Conia that everybody was like, okay, you know what I mean.
- 41:47Speaker 5: But even with Big and JA, that's kind of where
- 41:50Speaker 5: hip hop was taking a turn. You know, before that
- 41:53Speaker 5: hip hop wasn't as commercial everywhere like whatever. But when
- 41:56Speaker 5: Big and J came, especially when Jay came along them
- 41:59Speaker 5: DMX and now we're looking at hip hop more people
- 42:02Speaker 5: that don't look like us as listening to hip hop
- 42:04Speaker 5: way more than ever, you know what I mean. So
- 42:06Speaker 5: that's kind of what that was. But I think it's
- 42:09Speaker 5: and I'm gonna say this, man, I just love and
- 42:12Speaker 5: I remember, I know we all do. Remember when the
- 42:17Speaker 5: culture was ours, we had our own validation points. If
- 42:22Speaker 5: you were on Rap City, you're on TV raps our
- 42:26Speaker 5: Senior Hall Show, Soul Trained, in the back of the
- 42:30Speaker 5: jet magazine, the albums, the singles they showed your house
- 42:34Speaker 5: in ebony if you were on those, the cover the
- 42:38Speaker 5: sauces Essence magazine. If you were in the hair salons,
- 42:44Speaker 5: the barbershop, the music, if you went outside with your
- 42:47Speaker 5: homies after church and played whatever you was listening to
- 42:49Speaker 5: the car. If you were in all those places one time,
- 42:52Speaker 5: that's validation enough.
- 42:54Speaker 4: You made it, you know what I mean.
- 42:57Speaker 5: And it's not trying to say I'm here. This is
- 43:01Speaker 5: one of the few last rites of patches, passages for
- 43:05Speaker 5: people y'all look like us. You know what I mean,
- 43:08Speaker 5: and you gotta come through here to be validated. We
- 43:12Speaker 5: need more of that, you know what I'm saying. Like
- 43:14Speaker 5: so when we say mainstream top of the game, this
- 43:18Speaker 5: is part of the top of the game right.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Here to me.
- 43:21Speaker 27: And I also feel like when you talk about lyricists,
- 43:25Speaker 27: I also feel like when you talk about lyricists, you
- 43:28Speaker 27: got to know how to make a song, you know
- 43:30Speaker 27: what I mean. And I think that's the biggest thing
- 43:32Speaker 27: with this album that people want to see from me.
- 43:34Speaker 27: Like we were just talking about it where it was like,
- 43:36Speaker 27: what was the turning point for you? Where a lot
- 43:38Speaker 27: of people we did listening on Friday and everybody was like, yo,
- 43:40Speaker 27: you really like showed your songwriting, you know on here,
- 43:43Speaker 27: like you have choruses and it's like now you could
- 43:46Speaker 27: tell you a lot of time it was just me
- 43:47Speaker 27: in the studio, you know what I mean by myself.
- 43:49Speaker 1: So I feel like a lot of the lyricists at
- 43:52Speaker 1: this time is still proving.
- 43:54Speaker 27: They trying to rap on their records and they're not
- 43:56Speaker 27: giving nothing that people can relate to or people can feel.
- 43:59Speaker 27: It's always I'm just trying to show you I can
- 44:01Speaker 27: do this crazy word play, like nah, I want to
- 44:03Speaker 27: make records that you're going to play Monday through Friday,
- 44:05Speaker 27: when you on the way to work, when you on
- 44:07Speaker 27: the way to school, you getting ready, you know what
- 44:09Speaker 27: I mean, or even for the before the party, you
- 44:11Speaker 27: know what I'm saying, or at the party, you.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Know what I mean.
- 44:13Speaker 27: And I think this album that was the example and
- 44:15Speaker 27: I feel like that's the only way lyricists can really
- 44:17Speaker 27: reach them heights is if they know how to make
- 44:19Speaker 27: a record.
- 44:19Speaker 6: They gotta be taught, right, Yeah, if you watch Nas
- 44:21Speaker 6: and Nas and tell you, I don't know if it's tragedy,
- 44:24Speaker 6: but taught them how to make a song like this
- 44:26Speaker 6: is the components to make a song. I love Big Biggest,
- 44:29Speaker 6: probably my favorite artist ever, him and Jay, But I
- 44:31Speaker 6: don't know. If Puff wasn't there, I don't know. If
- 44:33Speaker 6: Big knew how to make those type of songs and
- 44:36Speaker 6: how to break it would have been partying ball. But
- 44:39Speaker 6: Puff taught them like, no, you need to make a
- 44:41Speaker 6: song like this. You need a hook, you need this.
- 44:43Speaker 6: And I feel like that's what's missing a lot of
- 44:45Speaker 6: times in this game.
- 44:46Speaker 27: Kobe Bryant needed to Phil Jackson and that's my Phil
- 44:48Speaker 27: jack Dre Snoop needed Drake fact.
- 44:52Speaker 3: What is the creative process? Like, you know what's making
- 44:55Speaker 3: this project?
- 44:56Speaker 5: Making this project? Well, welcome home, Welcome home. I called
- 45:00Speaker 5: Ruben in a special place. Ruben came to me and said, man,
- 45:03Speaker 5: you seen the Lego movie. I said, I saw one
- 45:06Speaker 5: Forrad said yeah, for real and he said, man, I
- 45:09Speaker 5: ain't no Farrel was close to tribe like that that
- 45:11Speaker 5: he revered tribe called quest. I'm like, yeah, he said,
- 45:15Speaker 5: that's who I am. I come from that. I'm like yeah,
- 45:18Speaker 5: like I knew this whole time. I'm just letting him realize.
- 45:21Speaker 5: Like I you know, sometimes you have to step out
- 45:23Speaker 5: the way and let you figure it out on your own.
- 45:26Speaker 5: But then while we're recording it, we're recording, we thought
- 45:29Speaker 5: we was done. Rubu started following for somebody. Okay, okay,
- 45:35Speaker 5: all right, and so I'm coming in the studio. I'm
- 45:39Speaker 5: coming in the studio. You always got a kitchen where
- 45:41Speaker 5: they are, I'm coming in the studio.
- 45:43Speaker 4: He on the phone. He facetied me on the phone.
- 45:47Speaker 5: Comea at work, And I'm like, you know, but I
- 45:53Speaker 5: have to catch him where he is. So now all
- 45:55Speaker 5: my beats started to turn a certain way for him
- 45:57Speaker 5: to talk about what he wanted to talk about. That
- 45:59Speaker 5: he found somebody, and I thought that was amazing, which
- 46:02Speaker 5: something we talked about. There's nothing wrong with talking about
- 46:05Speaker 5: embracing black women on your project.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Yeah, young men, young men don't do that a lot.
- 46:09Speaker 27: And I think even the routine again, like right before,
- 46:13Speaker 27: like he said, he let me figure it out on
- 46:14Speaker 27: my own when I got when I first got my
- 46:16Speaker 27: deal with Rock and I was moving around, I was
- 46:19Speaker 27: in LA and then you know, I started to see
- 46:21Speaker 27: how weird the industry can get. And then you know
- 46:23Speaker 27: a lot of people was in my ear like you
- 46:25Speaker 27: need to make this type of record and this type
- 46:28Speaker 27: of record that don't necessarily fit who I am. So
- 46:30Speaker 27: when I watched the Lego movie, I was like, oh,
- 46:32Speaker 27: this is my tree. I come from the tree of tribe.
- 46:34Speaker 27: I come from the tree of Kanye West in his
- 46:37Speaker 27: early stages. I come from that tree. Okay, let me
- 46:40Speaker 27: navigate that and you know, study and really figure it out.
- 46:43Speaker 27: But then also too, my mom and like living in Charlotte.
- 46:47Speaker 27: You know my mom, she's an African mother. You know,
- 46:48Speaker 27: she's from Liberia. So she was always supportive of me.
- 46:51Speaker 27: But the industry started to change, money started to slow
- 46:54Speaker 27: up at a little bit, and she's like, yo, you
- 46:55Speaker 27: either got to go back to school or get a job.
- 46:57Speaker 27: And I was like, I ain't doing none of that,
- 46:59Speaker 27: you know what I mean. So our call Ninfe we
- 47:01Speaker 27: talked about it. He was like, yo, just come down
- 47:02Speaker 27: the Raleigh sleeping on sleeping on the couch for six months,
- 47:05Speaker 27: My routine was, I'll wake up, say my prayers, go
- 47:08Speaker 27: to the gym. By the time I get back from
- 47:10Speaker 27: the gym, I take a shower, cause we have a
- 47:11Speaker 27: shower at the studio, which is a blessing. Like there's
- 47:14Speaker 27: a lot of artists can't say they have a mentor
- 47:16Speaker 27: who has a whole studio that you don't got to
- 47:18Speaker 27: pay for studio time.
- 47:20Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take all advantage, you know what I mean.
- 47:22Speaker 4: You don't know if you don't have to pay for
- 47:23Speaker 4: it yet.
- 47:35Speaker 5: Nah.
- 47:35Speaker 27: But then after that, you know, like he'll probably get
- 47:39Speaker 27: to the studio around twelve o'clock and we will sit there,
- 47:41Speaker 27: we'll discuss talk about you know, what movies remind us
- 47:45Speaker 27: of home, what music videos that we are favorite rap
- 47:48Speaker 27: music videos.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Then were going through samples, you know what I mean.
- 47:51Speaker 27: So the way the studio is set up, Knife got
- 47:53Speaker 27: his beat room, and then we got the recording room,
- 47:55Speaker 27: and then we got the living area where I used
- 47:57Speaker 27: to sleep at. But Ninth will come in around twelve clock.
- 48:00Speaker 27: We'll sit there, chop it up, maybe watch some basketball,
- 48:03Speaker 27: watch some videos. He finds some samples, he make the beat.
- 48:06Speaker 27: I'm sitting there. He gonna he's all right, I'm gonna
- 48:08Speaker 27: drop it to the big computer. I'm gonna run to
- 48:10Speaker 27: the other room, accept it on the big computer.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Record.
- 48:14Speaker 27: Then he gonna be in there watching basketball. Thirty minutes later,
- 48:17Speaker 27: I come back around. I think I got something. I
- 48:19Speaker 27: got some Yeah, and then he'd come in there, hear
- 48:21Speaker 27: it and then do what he does.
- 48:23Speaker 4: As a producer and there what made you want to
- 48:25Speaker 4: work with him?
- 48:25Speaker 5: No, because I mean ninth, Because I'm sure it's a
- 48:28Speaker 5: million artists that come to you, especially.
- 48:32Speaker 6: I want to get with you.
- 48:33Speaker 4: I want to do Okay.
- 48:35Speaker 5: So I was on tour in Germany and had the
- 48:39Speaker 5: day off and somebody on I was doing to ask
- 48:42Speaker 5: the ninth on Twitter, and somebody said to me, So,
- 48:45Speaker 5: I ain't got no question.
- 48:46Speaker 4: It's this kid you need to listen to. I have
- 48:49Speaker 4: no dog in this fight. I don't know this. I
- 48:51Speaker 4: don't know this kid. And usually you know, I know
- 48:54Speaker 4: how it goes.
- 48:55Speaker 5: Some people want trying to get their family Mamazona.
- 48:59Speaker 4: But he did not know the dude was from Oko
- 49:02Speaker 4: and I never had been open.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:04Speaker 5: I was thirteen at the thirteen, and he sent me
- 49:07Speaker 5: the Lincoln. I listened to it. I was like, man,
- 49:09Speaker 5: and I think one of the rhymes, he said somethingbout
- 49:11Speaker 5: Coolgie Rapp and I'm like, hold on, bro, like this,
- 49:13Speaker 5: you're thirteen years old. So then I shot him an
- 49:16Speaker 5: inboxes on Twitter and I said, yo is this?
- 49:20Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, how you doing?
- 49:21Speaker 25: Man?
- 49:22Speaker 5: And I was like, hey, what's your parents like? And
- 49:26Speaker 5: so he put his mom on and I was like,
- 49:29Speaker 5: I'll be home in a couple of weeks. I got home,
- 49:32Speaker 5: they showed up with him and his mom showed up
- 49:33Speaker 5: at my studio. I wrapped him up. He's about this tall,
- 49:37Speaker 5: and I said, man, you want something to eat?
- 49:39Speaker 4: What you say?
- 49:41Speaker 1: I just want some pop tarts, some strawberry milk, and
- 49:43Speaker 1: some pizza. Thirteen year old diet.
- 49:46Speaker 4: Thirteen year old diet.
- 49:47Speaker 1: Literally.
- 49:48Speaker 5: But it kind of went from there. And the first
- 49:51Speaker 5: song we did was a song called Extraterrestrial. And I
- 49:53Speaker 5: looked at my president Cab, my man cash, I said, mayheir.
- 49:57Speaker 5: I said, man, he ain't breathing. He's just rapping. He's
- 49:59Speaker 5: not breathing.
- 50:00Speaker 4: And he did.
- 50:01Speaker 27: You did nine songs that weekend, three days. And later
- 50:04Speaker 27: it may be on a machine that I had never
- 50:06Speaker 27: touched before that it was different.
- 50:08Speaker 1: What was it that Lego movie?
- 50:10Speaker 6: No beforehand. So what put you on the tribe and
- 50:13Speaker 6: couji rap in that era of music, because that's to
- 50:16Speaker 6: see you playing fight in a biopicon. Oh yeah about
- 50:21Speaker 6: I would love to. I would love to.
- 50:23Speaker 27: So my father, you know again, both my parents are
- 50:26Speaker 27: from West Africa, Iberia, and when he came to the States,
- 50:30Speaker 27: he lived in New York for a little bit, and
- 50:32Speaker 27: he moved to North Carolina and met my mom, who
- 50:36Speaker 27: my mom, So to give a little bit of background,
- 50:38Speaker 27: like you're talking, I got to ask you. Yeah, I'm
- 50:44Speaker 27: pretty probably I got yeah, I probably got to ask him.
- 50:46Speaker 27: But he went from my My dad experienced the Library
- 50:50Speaker 27: and Civil War in the nineties, so he was a
- 50:52Speaker 27: refugee came to America still very young, while my mom
- 50:56Speaker 27: she got here when she was sixteen and lived in
- 50:58Speaker 27: the d n V before moving to Charlotte. Her dad
- 51:00Speaker 27: fought in the war, passed away in the war, all
- 51:02Speaker 27: of that. But when he came down a lot of
- 51:05Speaker 27: he said, in Africa they used to listen to a
- 51:07Speaker 27: lot of Tupac and Biggie during the war, and so
- 51:11Speaker 27: when he had when they had me, granted they had
- 51:13Speaker 27: like separated when I was born. They my dad always
- 51:16Speaker 27: used to pick me up on the weekends, and he
- 51:18Speaker 27: used to have a blue Cadillac and he'll drive me
- 51:20Speaker 27: around playing all lives on me, Ready to die, Blueprint,
- 51:23Speaker 27: get rich of trying. So I that was the way
- 51:26Speaker 27: me and my dad bonded when I was four years old.
- 51:29Speaker 27: So then by the time I was able to write.
- 51:32Speaker 27: I wrote my first rap when I was five years old,
- 51:35Speaker 27: and so I already had a little bit of knowledge.
- 51:38Speaker 27: And my dad gifted me late Registration when I was
- 51:40Speaker 27: six seven years old. So when those little moments were
- 51:45Speaker 27: like rabbit holes for me, because then by the time
- 51:47Speaker 27: I was like ten eleven, YouTube was available. So now
- 51:51Speaker 27: I'm looking up okay, late Registration, Okay, Blueprint Okay, reasonable
- 51:55Speaker 27: doubt Okay, then the recommended nas ill Madic. Then it's like,
- 51:58Speaker 27: oh Coogi rap, It's like oh Tribe call Quest, Midnight Marauders.
- 52:02Speaker 27: I just started going down a rabbit hole and just
- 52:05Speaker 27: became like super like just like floored with everything, you
- 52:09Speaker 27: know what I mean. So by the time I met Knife,
- 52:12Speaker 27: I was already like so knee deep into like what
- 52:15Speaker 27: I liked. And then also too around the same time
- 52:17Speaker 27: I was eleven twelve years old, Joey badass started emerging
- 52:20Speaker 27: on the scene, you know what I mean, and you
- 52:22Speaker 27: know what he was doing at the time, so you know,
- 52:24Speaker 27: I was just like it was Florida and I just
- 52:26Speaker 27: started to do my deep doves.
- 52:28Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you what artists I'm glad you said, Joey,
- 52:30Speaker 5: because what artists I guess for you from your generation
- 52:33Speaker 5: reminded you of.
- 52:34Speaker 27: That obviously, Joey, Kendrick, Lamar Cole, Earl Sweatshirt in the
- 52:41Speaker 27: early in the early times, still still to this time.
- 52:46Speaker 1: I was big on them, like super early, you.
- 52:48Speaker 27: Know what I mean, the wallets, like all of them,
- 52:51Speaker 27: like that that era, the blog era was like where
- 52:54Speaker 27: like I really died deep into like who they were.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Those were like the ones who raised me.
- 52:58Speaker 27: Outside of like the nineties, I want to see more
- 52:59Speaker 27: peop inspired by what ROBERTA.
- 53:01Speaker 4: Flack and Donnie had to wait talking about. It's the feeling.
- 53:04Speaker 4: It's called the feeling. It's called the.
- 53:07Speaker 5: Feeling, and that's where we try to do on this album.
- 53:11Speaker 5: It's create a feeling. It's like a lot of a
- 53:14Speaker 5: lot of music lacks that particular euphoric. The thing about
- 53:18Speaker 5: di Angelo man and which a lot of us was
- 53:20Speaker 5: raising the church. That feeling is not in music now,
- 53:25Speaker 5: and it doesn't mean it can't be there. Hip hop
- 53:28Speaker 5: and the feeling has got separated over time, which it
- 53:31Speaker 5: used to be like this because in the nineties hip
- 53:34Speaker 5: hop has samples in them that was the feeling, no
- 53:38Speaker 5: matter what the subject matter was on the top in fact,
- 53:40Speaker 5: so I think this just has to you know, that's
- 53:44Speaker 5: got that feel good man, Nothing wrong with that. And
- 53:46Speaker 5: then it's also how do you keep people's legacies alive?
- 53:48Speaker 18: Right?
- 53:48Speaker 4: Because I swear.
- 53:49Speaker 5: Since the Angelo died, you can just be out and
- 53:52Speaker 5: you'll hear somebody humming the d'angels Like I'm talking about humming.
- 53:55Speaker 4: I'm not talking about this, you hear I've been around
- 53:58Speaker 4: people and they just.
- 54:00Speaker 18: YO.
- 54:00Speaker 27: Last night, I was at the Odell show and as
- 54:02Speaker 27: soon as he got off, they played brown shots.
- 54:05Speaker 5: He said, old deals and yeah, for sure another one.
- 54:08Speaker 5: But my thing is, where is that when these people
- 54:10Speaker 5: are here, Like, how do you keep that alive? Is
- 54:13Speaker 5: it urban ac radio? Like what is it twelve o'clock
- 54:17Speaker 5: throwback mixed?
- 54:18Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 54:18Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 54:19Speaker 4: I mean, you know that's a that's a corporate conversation.
- 54:21Speaker 25: Man.
- 54:21Speaker 4: We can't hand on it.
- 54:22Speaker 26: But we can't talk no.
- 54:24Speaker 4: I mean, I'm saying, man, like, we got to bring
- 54:28Speaker 4: dj V.
- 54:29Speaker 5: We have to bring DJ's were the spokesman for the hood,
- 54:33Speaker 5: man or for black people on what was good and
- 54:35Speaker 5: what was not. Everybody ain't good, no right, just because
- 54:41Speaker 5: you made it, it ain't everybody's.
- 54:43Speaker 17: No.
- 54:44Speaker 5: Music is subjective, alight, cool. Everybody's DJs was supposed to
- 54:48Speaker 5: be the ones that told us what was good and
- 54:52Speaker 5: what was not. We trusted the dj It's been like
- 54:54Speaker 5: that since the beginning of hip hop, and so that's
- 54:57Speaker 5: what we need, man, And we can't. We can't get
- 55:00Speaker 5: a certain age and just say, man, I don't want
- 55:01Speaker 5: to hear that old stuff anymore. Other cultures don't do that, bro.
- 55:06Speaker 5: They don't take a special ed and throw them to
- 55:10Speaker 5: the back burner. Whoever the country version of Special Led is,
- 55:14Speaker 5: whoever the country version of Big Daddy Kane is, they
- 55:16Speaker 5: don't throw them to the back burner. We need to
- 55:19Speaker 5: make sure our legends are great and revered, just like
- 55:22Speaker 5: they do in the Grand Old Opera in Nashville. On
- 55:25Speaker 5: any other genre, the Rolling Stone is still rocking because
- 55:28Speaker 5: people are still going for us. It's out with the
- 55:31Speaker 5: old end, with the new that's a gene. That's the
- 55:34Speaker 5: thing about black people, because we're so creative. We just
- 55:37Speaker 5: we just onto the neck so fast. We cannot abandon
- 55:41Speaker 5: who got us here and who continues to still do music.
- 55:44Speaker 4: It's up to us. We cannot wait on anybody else
- 55:47Speaker 4: to do it but us.
- 55:47Speaker 1: BRO and they starting.
- 55:49Speaker 6: They're starting with the stations because growing up, no matter
- 55:52Speaker 6: what market you and it was always a classic rock station.
- 55:55Speaker 6: We're always going to have that. And we're starting to
- 55:57Speaker 6: get that now we are with you know, eighties and
- 56:00Speaker 6: nineties or you know, hip hop stations and things like that.
- 56:03Speaker 5: But the reality all urban adult contemporary stations have to
- 56:05Speaker 5: do is just update the playlist like old school now
- 56:08Speaker 5: is what we came up on in the nineties and
- 56:10Speaker 5: the early two thousands.
- 56:11Speaker 4: But they still playing and they should, but they playing
- 56:13Speaker 4: earth Wind and Fire and yeah.
- 56:15Speaker 1: Still That's what.
- 56:16Speaker 4: I'm glad that we do.
- 56:18Speaker 7: On Fridays, we do have pasts with Nowlog because Nahlo
- 56:20Speaker 7: Simona's put me on to you like that. She's how
- 56:22Speaker 7: I found you in O'Dell and a lot of other
- 56:25Speaker 7: artists that she has put me on with. So the
- 56:28Speaker 7: DJ's definitely you know, you got DJs with good hairs. Man,
- 56:31Speaker 7: it's like, look, you put your into the music and
- 56:33Speaker 7: these are the things that you feel are like kind
- 56:36Speaker 7: of rare.
- 56:37Speaker 3: She putting them out there every Friday. Like I said,
- 56:39Speaker 3: she put me on you and a lot of other people.
- 56:41Speaker 27: That I listen to you now, So you know, y'all
- 56:43Speaker 27: do a great job of that just having her on
- 56:45Speaker 27: Friday doing the past the ocs. And I think it
- 56:47Speaker 27: needs to be more because even like envy'all just saw
- 56:49Speaker 27: a video where you you were the first person to
- 56:51Speaker 27: play hit them.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Up, you know what I mean, And I feel like
- 56:54Speaker 1: that's just don't get you say that nobody else will
- 57:04Speaker 1: go against accepted it to.
- 57:10Speaker 6: And I tell you said, I got it from shot
- 57:12Speaker 6: money Excel. I used to put a lot and he
- 57:13Speaker 6: gave it to me, left the study, gave it to
- 57:15Speaker 6: his first Did you played?
- 57:16Speaker 1: Because I heard it was dirty, Harry, that definitely was.
- 57:21Speaker 27: Dirty dirty, but not like real talk, Like I just
- 57:25Speaker 27: feel like, you know you like again, she doesn't incredibly
- 57:29Speaker 27: with past the OX, but I feel like, you know,
- 57:31Speaker 27: we need to honor the young DJs and you know,
- 57:34Speaker 27: allowed him to have that space because you know they're
- 57:37Speaker 27: going to be the ones putting us on the music now,
- 57:39Speaker 27: you know what I mean, Just like you were a
- 57:41Speaker 27: who kid? You know, clue like you know, it's it
- 57:44Speaker 27: needs to continue again, each one, teach one, you know
- 57:47Speaker 27: what I mean.
- 57:47Speaker 5: So it's wild because now when you watch NF you know,
- 57:51Speaker 5: NFL games, you watch NBA games, when they go to commercial,
- 57:54Speaker 5: they playing like nothing but the g thing and Award Tour.
- 57:58Speaker 5: And I remember when Jalen Rose was, you know, the
- 58:00Speaker 5: NBA a commentator like I was. I wonder if Jalen
- 58:04Speaker 5: Rose got influence on what they playing when they go
- 58:05Speaker 5: to commercial, because they played Who Got the Props? One
- 58:07Speaker 5: day and I was like, wait a minute, bro, But
- 58:09Speaker 5: that's we are. I think Jimmy Fallon is a prime
- 58:14Speaker 5: example of where we are in the time continuing because
- 58:17Speaker 5: to have the be the Tonight Show hosts and your
- 58:20Speaker 5: band be the.
- 58:21Speaker 4: Roots tells you everything.
- 58:23Speaker 5: And he always says Black Thought's my favorite rapper, Tyler
- 58:26Speaker 5: Qualley is my second favorite rapper, and these were fifty
- 58:28Speaker 5: years old.
- 58:29Speaker 4: So I mean, I think we just need to do
- 58:31Speaker 4: more of that. Man. We just cannot abandoned our classics
- 58:33Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, I agree. If you don't have to
- 58:35Speaker 4: answer this, if you don't want to Okay, made the
- 58:38Speaker 4: Lord watch.
- 58:39Speaker 5: Okay, everybody wanted to know why knife One didn't participate
- 58:42Speaker 5: in the Little Brother document That's a long story. I
- 58:44Speaker 5: don't think we got that kind of time. But I
- 58:46Speaker 5: will say this man you talk about in the documentary, Yes, yeah,
- 58:49Speaker 5: that's a long story. But I will say this, and
- 58:52Speaker 5: sometimes people think I say something political reasons.
- 58:55Speaker 4: Y'all watched me for years. Both of y'all have watched
- 58:58Speaker 4: me for years.
- 58:59Speaker 5: I have never been a person to go online and
- 59:04Speaker 5: in public to try not to say that they did
- 59:07Speaker 5: that to me, but to deface and talk negative about
- 59:12Speaker 5: another man or woman. That's never been my things. Fact,
- 59:17Speaker 5: and that's their feeling. That's how they respect, and you
- 59:20Speaker 5: have to respect how they feel about everything or whatever.
- 59:23Speaker 5: But as far as their success, as far as that
- 59:26Speaker 5: we being a part of each other's history, I cannot
- 59:29Speaker 5: change that at all. Little Brother has our own children,
- 59:32Speaker 5: Kendrick Drake, Fat Cole, Big Sean Wiley, Ruben Vincent. We
- 59:38Speaker 5: got our own children right again, it's a story behind it,
- 59:42Speaker 5: but that's I believe in family business. Brow This is
- 59:46Speaker 5: how I was raised, that's how I am. And you
- 59:49Speaker 5: know we're at the age now I'm fifty years old. Bro,
- 59:52Speaker 5: y'all know how this goes.
- 59:53Speaker 25: Man.
- 59:53Speaker 5: We lose people every day, Bro, We're losing family members. Listen,
- 59:58Speaker 5: God bless them, brothers. Man, keep doing what they're doing.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: I think they are on tour right now. They got shows,
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: They're still doing shows. Fonte is incredibly talented, although we
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: may have disagreements or whatever, incredibly talented exactly.
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: I've seen Pogo from being one artist, one rapper, to
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: another rapper to the level that he is without without know,
- 1:00:20Speaker 5: without know Fante cole may will not be a Drake.
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: Fact Drake Drake completely one thousand percent. He says it
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: a million times, studied him, revered him, imitated him. Everything
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: we know about Drake rapping and singing is Fante Coleman Buddenden,
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: Fante Coman and but as my man. Yeah, but that again,
- 1:00:46Speaker 5: going back and listen, man, like that's how it is
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: with me. I got to keep moving, man. I didn't
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: see the documentary at all. I never watched it. I've
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: heard about it from everybody. But I got to keep
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: them moving, man. I cannot stay in that. We don't
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: have the time on this earth to stay in that space.
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: I got work to do.
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: This is my work now, I got other work to
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: do as well as my label Jammler.
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: That's what it is.
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: But again, saluting brothers man. God bless them brothers man.
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: That's how they feel to have they had the right
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: to express it. I didn't go online and say anything
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: about it. When it came out, I heard everything about it.
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: Blah blah blah.
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Difference of opinion and we move on.
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: What message are you too trying to send back to
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: the culture with welcome home that the feeling is not lost.
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: You can continue to give the feeling and there's not
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: a division between a generation. We are twenty five years apart.
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: This can work and music can be made with this.
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: That's the biggest thing I want to get across, man.
- 1:01:46Speaker 27: And I think for me, whether you are a NBA
- 1:01:49Speaker 27: young Boy, whether you are a Ruben Vincent, whether you
- 1:01:52Speaker 27: are a any other name that I can name right now,
- 1:01:57Speaker 27: show up as yourself, show up as your self and
- 1:02:00Speaker 27: perform at a high level. I ain't rapping to just
- 1:02:03Speaker 27: drive a Honda a Cord bro you know what I mean. Like,
- 1:02:06Speaker 27: but I'm gonna do it as myself. I ain't here
- 1:02:08Speaker 27: to compromise, none of that. But I am gonna be
- 1:02:11Speaker 27: one of the greatest of my generation. I'm gonna say
- 1:02:13Speaker 27: that that's just a favor, you know what I mean,
- 1:02:15Speaker 27: And I'm gonna do it being one hundred percent Ruben Vincent.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: I'm always Red Africa, I'm always Rep.
- 1:02:21Speaker 27: Charlotte, and I'm always Rep showing up as yourself and
- 1:02:24Speaker 27: that's exactly what this album is about.

- 1:03:00Speaker 4: Well, it's the leader.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: They're on the breakfast clubs.
- 1:03:02Speaker 24: Talk to me now out of this whole big NBA
- 1:03:06Speaker 24: Fred news that has been breaking over the last twenty
- 1:03:09Speaker 24: four hours. There's been some interesting conversations coming out of it.
- 1:03:13Speaker 24: So right now, what's happening is there are a ton
- 1:03:15Speaker 24: of people that feel like this is a political thing,
- 1:03:17Speaker 24: that this is Trump getting back at the NBA for
- 1:03:20Speaker 24: all of the civil rights activism that they did some
- 1:03:24Speaker 24: years ago.
- 1:03:24Speaker 11: One of the people who believe that is Steven A. Smith.
- 1:03:26Speaker 11: Let's say a listen to Stephen A on First Hit.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: How many times have I said Trump is coming? He's coming.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it on national television again.
- 1:03:34Speaker 28: Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl and all
- 1:03:37Speaker 28: of a sudden you hear in Ice is gonna be
- 1:03:39Speaker 28: there looking to engage in mass deportations. Remember, Trump has
- 1:03:43Speaker 28: a long, long history connected to the world of sports
- 1:03:46Speaker 28: because he had those casinos.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Way do you think folks wire coming after time?
- 1:03:50Speaker 28: Don't be surprised that the WNBA is next, because when
- 1:03:53Speaker 28: you've got all of these protests that have been going
- 1:03:56Speaker 28: out there and people that have been protesting against.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Them and what have you, this man it's coming.
- 1:04:00Speaker 28: Anybody that has been around him from the sports leagues
- 1:04:04Speaker 28: and the positions that people have taken, they are not
- 1:04:07Speaker 28: surprised at what's going on today. Are watching a press
- 1:04:11Speaker 28: conference with the director of the FBI.
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: Tell me when we've seen that.
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: Why why can't we just let things play out? Like,
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: you know, I'm not saying Stephen A is wrong. I
- 1:04:20Speaker 5: just think that one of our biggest problems is, you know,
- 1:04:22Speaker 5: we don't let things play out, like we all have
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: to talk about what we think and add our conspiracies
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: to things and hot takes like bad Bunny's not committing
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: the crime, and what the what is the NBA doing?
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: And I don't even know if the NBA players committed
- 1:04:35Speaker 5: the crime, but it seems like they're connected at least
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: to a crime.
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: But what what is the NBA got going on?
- 1:04:40Speaker 6: But not only that, didn't they say they've been they've
- 1:04:42Speaker 6: been actually watching them since like twenty nineteen, Yes, Trump
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: was out of office and they were still watching them.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, it's just weird to say.
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: That, what have the w NBA players done?
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: Like you know, always like like like I always say,
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: you know, you can't go after somebody if they don't
- 1:04:59Speaker 5: they're not giving you anything, you know, to go after
- 1:05:02Speaker 5: them for.
- 1:05:02Speaker 24: True, And I will say too, there's outside of just
- 1:05:05Speaker 24: a press conference that happened yesterday, there's actual like, there's
- 1:05:08Speaker 24: documents around this indictment, so you can go in and
- 1:05:10Speaker 24: read what led to what and why we're here. But
- 1:05:14Speaker 24: the NBA players are going to push back too, so
- 1:05:16Speaker 24: we have to wait to hear what their defenses will be.
- 1:05:17Speaker 24: Like if it's gonna play out, it's gonna take some
- 1:05:19Speaker 24: months for all the all of this to unfold.
- 1:05:21Speaker 11: Now, another real quick is Trump petty?
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: Yes it is Trump on a revenge tour.
- 1:05:26Speaker 5: Yes, but what that got to do with some of
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: these sports leagues are bad bunny performing at the Super Bowl?
- 1:05:32Speaker 25: I don't know.
- 1:05:32Speaker 22: Yeah.
- 1:05:33Speaker 24: Now, another person who spoke out about this with Shaq.
- 1:05:36Speaker 24: Shaq was on inside the NBA and he said that
- 1:05:39Speaker 24: he is ashamed.
- 1:05:41Speaker 18: Let's take a listen, unload the letter of the law
- 1:05:43Speaker 18: when it comes to gambling in sports gambling that I
- 1:05:46Speaker 18: don't want to sit up here like I'm some perfect
- 1:05:47Speaker 18: guy like I every now and then when I go
- 1:05:49Speaker 18: to Vegas, I'll play some crap. Never gambled at anybody's house.
- 1:05:52Speaker 18: Don't know anything about pokers. I don't know what they're
- 1:05:55Speaker 18: talking about. When it comes to the to the Chauncy wame.
- 1:05:57Speaker 18: But I know Chauncey. I know Damon very well, play
- 1:06:00Speaker 18: with Damon's I don't want to sit up here, but
- 1:06:02Speaker 18: I'm ashamed that that those guys will put their families
- 1:06:05Speaker 18: and their careers in jeopardy. That that's all saying in
- 1:06:08Speaker 18: the hood. All money ain't good money. So if you're
- 1:06:10Speaker 18: making nine million dollars and you're dealing a certain thing,
- 1:06:13Speaker 18: like how much more do you need? Especially if you
- 1:06:15Speaker 18: know you get caught, you can do jail time, lose
- 1:06:18Speaker 18: your career.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: They dropped the ball.
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: See once again, when I hear Shaq talk like that,
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: I think the same thing. Why can't we just let play,
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: let things play out like it? It just makes me
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: believe they know something because they're not even giving them
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt.
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: Just I'm ashamed of them. They put their families in jeopardy.
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: You're right, but I thought I thought it was I
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: thought it was innocent and they'll proven guilty.
- 1:06:38Speaker 11: Which is what they said most of the times at
- 1:06:39Speaker 11: the press conference as well.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: It's supposed to be innocent and to proven guilty.
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: But you know, the sad thing about it is, once
- 1:06:45Speaker 6: something gets depressed, once there's an indictment, whether it's right
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: or wrong, you start to lose everything, like immediately the
- 1:06:50Speaker 6: NBA said they suspended Chauncey Billips, suspended Rosia immediately.
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: Now understand that, though I.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Don't because unless there's proof to say that they are wrong.
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: Because let's say they did apps litally positively nothing wrong,
- 1:07:02Speaker 6: nothing at all. I lose my job, I lose my sponsorship,
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: I lose my endorsements, and I really did nothing wrong.
- 1:07:07Speaker 24: I don't know, but any indictment though in the documents,
- 1:07:10Speaker 24: I was mentioning that the you know, the government does
- 1:07:12Speaker 24: have to like say here is what led us here.
- 1:07:15Speaker 24: So like they say that they have text messages of
- 1:07:18Speaker 24: you know, different things happening, and like all of this
- 1:07:21Speaker 24: is not coming from anywhere, and that's.
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: What you want could explained something differently, that's how you
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: got awake, because it's not right.
- 1:07:27Speaker 11: Now that's appearing it two.
- 1:07:28Speaker 24: But I will say, we thought a lot was happening
- 1:07:31Speaker 24: with Diddy in the beginning of his federal and his
- 1:07:33Speaker 24: federal case, right, and then we got in court.
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: This is what y'all missing about the Chauncey Terry thing.
- 1:07:37Speaker 5: They were actually arrested in charge. If you're arrested in charge,
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: I can see why the corporation would suspend you.
- 1:07:44Speaker 6: But the sad thing about it is when you're arrested
- 1:07:46Speaker 6: in charge, you could be arrested in charge falsely, you
- 1:07:48Speaker 6: know what I mean? And you and I both know
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: what Like Chauncey Bullups, let's say they suspended him, there's
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: gonna be another coaching here that takes his job right,
- 1:07:56Speaker 6: and that the coach if he starts doing a job,
- 1:07:58Speaker 6: Charles ain't getting that job back, what I'm saying. And
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: he might know who's five seven million dollars a year
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: and then he.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: Comes back and be like, oh, not guilty.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: If he's not guilty, he'll probably still get paid his
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: contract though, because there's no moral clause.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: That by lady, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:08:11Speaker 24: Well, look, they got a lot of claims in this indictment,
- 1:08:14Speaker 24: and again it'll take some time, but it'll all play
- 1:08:16Speaker 24: out and we'll see what irons out is. Uh, you
- 1:08:19Speaker 24: know what the court believes is fact and not fact
- 1:08:21Speaker 24: and kind of what happens from there.
- 1:08:22Speaker 6: But also I think we need to have conversations. I
- 1:08:25Speaker 6: think a lot of people don't know that those backyard
- 1:08:27Speaker 6: poker games are legal. I think most people don't know
- 1:08:29Speaker 6: that I didn't know that, See I I don't think
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: most people do. I don't play pocals, so it's not
- 1:08:33Speaker 6: in my world, but most people don't know that that's illegal.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Really, no boast.
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: You only supposed to play pogam in Causino because it's taxes.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: Is you know you can you can know people are
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: not getting over on you with false.
- 1:08:44Speaker 24: Calls and stuff y'all to the FEDS are saying that
- 1:08:47Speaker 24: they have text messages and certain things, and they have
- 1:08:49Speaker 24: actual proof. So if I think people are just depending
- 1:08:51Speaker 24: on what they what they have right now, and it's
- 1:08:54Speaker 24: a short maybe it's it's too fast to say certain things,
- 1:08:56Speaker 24: but they're going off what they have right now.
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: But I know you don't play Polgrim, but do you
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: play polkem oh?
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: We played that last night?
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: Man Oh, okay, some Pokemon.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: That's why.
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: After the new Generation making said he a Pokemon.

- 1:18:07Speaker 4: Yeah, one more personal, Yes, good morning. Who's this?
- 1:18:10Speaker 12: Hey?
- 1:18:11Speaker 25: It's a girl Tea from Chelston, South Carolina.
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: Hey, what's up? Home? Team? Who you want to get
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: the biggest ya haut team?
- 1:18:17Speaker 25: I want to give it to all Americans. Right now
- 1:18:20Speaker 25: we are literally setting back you letting the government play
- 1:18:22Speaker 25: with us if they're going to shut down. I feel
- 1:18:25Speaker 25: like we need to shut down as well. Stop going
- 1:18:27Speaker 25: to work, stop paying bills is getting ridiculous, premiums are
- 1:18:31Speaker 25: going up and pay wages aren't going up. I feel
- 1:18:34Speaker 25: like we are the people have the power, and when
- 1:18:36Speaker 25: we open our eyes and realize that the gobl rate
- 1:18:39Speaker 25: won't have no nothing to do a back to submit
- 1:18:42Speaker 25: to us. That's just how I feel about it.
- 1:18:44Speaker 5: I do feel like we're past the point of political
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: solutions and it's going to take some type of national
- 1:18:49Speaker 5: strike in order to really, really, really really get this
- 1:18:53Speaker 5: government to act right I do.
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: I am starting to feel.
- 1:18:55Speaker 25: Like that, yes, like it's our everyday American paycheck that
- 1:19:00Speaker 25: keeps them in power, that keeps their bank account fuls.
- 1:19:03Speaker 25: If we as Americans literally saying hey, we are not
- 1:19:06Speaker 25: going to work, they will panic, they will go crazy.
- 1:19:11Speaker 17: Literally.
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: I think we got to start caring about the Constitution
- 1:19:14Speaker 5: the way we care about pop culture, because I think
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: about like the uproar.
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: There was when Jimmy Kimmel got removed.
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: And then everybody decided they was going to cancel their
- 1:19:22Speaker 5: Disney subscriptions, and then you know, the Disney stock prices
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: pummelted and all of a Sudden. Disney was like, oh nope,
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: you got to put them back on air. So maybe
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: we got to start caring about the Constitution and things
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: like healthcare and you know, government shut down. We gotta
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: start caring about things like that the way we care
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: about pop culture.
- 1:19:39Speaker 17: Yes, we definitely do.

- 1:21:16Speaker 29: and Mamrin Luther King. And the response to it, the
- 1:21:19Speaker 29: way that black people have responded to seeing these people
- 1:21:22Speaker 29: on the runway, knowing that this history wasn't that long
- 1:21:25Speaker 29: ago like they tried to tell us that it was.
- 1:21:28Speaker 29: Has been powerful man so actively black. The company that
- 1:21:32Speaker 29: I founded, we were built with the intention to uplift
- 1:21:35Speaker 29: and reinvest back into the black community. And uh, these
- 1:21:38Speaker 29: incredible legends have been supportive of the brand.

- 1:21:42Speaker 4: know man Cecid Williams. Right, y'all know this legends picture
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: right here that the brother drinking out of the white's
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: only water.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: Founder.
- 1:21:48Speaker 4: I always wanted to ask you.
- 1:21:49Speaker 5: Mister Williams, was it a spontaneous active rebellion or something
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: something you plan to do at the.
- 1:21:55Speaker 4: Statement It was a little bit of both.
- 1:21:57Speaker 22: I was thirsty, but oh so yeah, there was a
- 1:22:01Speaker 22: middle of the sunshine of the summer, you know, as
- 1:22:03Speaker 22: evident for my T shirt. But also this was not
- 1:22:07Speaker 22: the first time I did this. There were many other
- 1:22:10Speaker 22: times that I felt.
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: I wanted to do local.
- 1:22:14Speaker 22: Really, I was not satisfied with living in the status
- 1:22:18Speaker 22: quo in segregation. So this was something that I had
- 1:22:20Speaker 22: done many times and my mother warned me not to
- 1:22:22Speaker 22: do it anymore. But I did it again, and this time.
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: It was photographed.
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: Did you feel fear in that moment? I was your
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: fame stronger than your field? None what soever.
- 1:22:30Speaker 22: This is about fifteen twenty miles from Orangeburg and on
- 1:22:33Speaker 22: Highway twenty one and coming back from an assignment for
- 1:22:35Speaker 22: Jet magazine.
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: But I never sent this picture to Jet.
- 1:22:38Speaker 22: It was something that I held in the family, and
- 1:22:42Speaker 22: I knew I would get chewed out had I, you know,
- 1:22:45Speaker 22: given it.
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: To my mother and father to see. So I hid
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: it from them and never sent it to Jet either. Wow,
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: try they hit it. Maybe three or four years later.
- 1:22:55Speaker 22: I showed it to them conversation one Sunday afternoon, doing
- 1:22:59Speaker 22: at dinner. It kind of came out and then I
- 1:23:01Speaker 22: got chewed out.
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: What did that single act teach you about the power
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: of defiance in the faith of injustice?
- 1:23:09Speaker 22: Well, living in South Carolina, being a child of segregation,
- 1:23:12Speaker 22: it was something that we encountered all day long, from
- 1:23:14Speaker 22: birth to death. We in South Carolina during that period
- 1:23:18Speaker 22: of time felt again we were treated as subclass human beings,
- 1:23:24Speaker 22: not being able to go to a store and go
- 1:23:28Speaker 22: into a restroom, or go or drink get a drink
- 1:23:31Speaker 22: of water out of a fountain, or having to go
- 1:23:33Speaker 22: to a side window, or go into a movie theater
- 1:23:36Speaker 22: and having to sit in a separate place or not
- 1:23:39Speaker 22: at all. So but again one thing that I would
- 1:23:43Speaker 22: like to that's maybe out of characteristic of many southerns
- 1:23:47Speaker 22: There were many good white people at.
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: The time as well.
- 1:23:50Speaker 22: You can't just put a blanket statement against that all
- 1:23:54Speaker 22: people treated this. There were many good hearted white people
- 1:23:58Speaker 22: at the time, and they were friends with my family
- 1:24:01Speaker 22: and they helped support our family.
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: But it was some people in.
- 1:24:04Speaker 22: South Carolina again who lived by, who treated us as
- 1:24:07Speaker 22: a status quot not being able to do this or that.
- 1:24:10Speaker 6: So crazy to think about it, Like, you know, when
- 1:24:12Speaker 6: you have these conversations, we're really not that far removed
- 1:24:15Speaker 6: from that whole, right, That's what I'm saying, Like you
- 1:24:18Speaker 6: don't you don't really think about it, like you said earlier,
- 1:24:20Speaker 6: Like we're not far removed from racism, and even the
- 1:24:23Speaker 6: stories that my dad told me.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: I'm like, this is crazy. This is what fifty years ago,
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: sixty years.
- 1:24:27Speaker 5: I got got one of my aunts. She said, I
- 1:24:29Speaker 5: don't know nothing about no I don't know nothing about
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: no integration. Yeah she knew was segregating school, you know. Yeah,
- 1:24:34Speaker 5: we had we had ruby bridges, walked the wrong way
- 1:24:37Speaker 5: as well. And it was a powerful moment because everybody
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: remembers that picture six year old little girl being escorted
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: into school by federal marshals and Ruby just turned seventy one,
- 1:24:48Speaker 5: but you know, black on cracks, so she looks forty
- 1:24:50Speaker 5: five and she walks out on the runway. It made
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: it real to people like that same little girl in
- 1:24:55Speaker 5: that black and white photo is walking right here in
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: front of me. So that's that's the power of how
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: and having these individuals here with me, showing you know
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: how close we are to everything that we still fighting
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: to this day.
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: Do y'all hate you? I'm sorry, do y'all hate white people?
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you why.
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: When I talked to my dad, my dad has a
- 1:25:14Speaker 6: feeling towards white people, right, and I always joke and
- 1:25:17Speaker 6: I laugh about it. But then when he tells me
- 1:25:19Speaker 6: his history of him being in the military, and you know,
- 1:25:22Speaker 6: they're in the same barracks, but then when they go
- 1:25:23Speaker 6: get some food, it's white only, and his people in
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: the barracks they go get food, he can't. He talks
- 1:25:29Speaker 6: about the water fountain in the bathroom and all this
- 1:25:30Speaker 6: other stuff, and why he looks at white people the
- 1:25:32Speaker 6: way that he does, I understand it.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: So that's why I ask you the same.
- 1:25:37Speaker 22: Well that's brought to the forefront by Landy Smith, and
- 1:25:40Speaker 22: again the fashion show, in fact he labels a fashion show,
- 1:25:44Speaker 22: This is not a fashion show. Pictures like this are
- 1:25:47Speaker 22: just evidence of time and period we lived in America
- 1:25:51Speaker 22: that seemingly in today's society. Some people want to bring
- 1:25:55Speaker 22: it back, but it's long gone. But people like me
- 1:25:58Speaker 22: who would experienced this, and people that were on the
- 1:26:01Speaker 22: show that was put together by this amazing brother who
- 1:26:03Speaker 22: has brought forth to apparel that again has criss crossed
- 1:26:08Speaker 22: across America and being put into the hands of today's generation.
- 1:26:12Speaker 22: T shirts and other things that he makes, we're not
- 1:26:16Speaker 22: going to stand for again. Resegregating America is going to
- 1:26:20Speaker 22: be something that is long gone. And to answer your question,
- 1:26:23Speaker 22: there are again many many good white people. And again
- 1:26:27Speaker 22: there's a myth I think that all white people are bad.
- 1:26:30Speaker 5: Of course, I was think growing up in South Carolina
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: was such a mine because to your point, I grew
- 1:26:35Speaker 5: up around a lot of good white people, But then
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: we were also aware of the white people who treated
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: us like that is cool, like there's a certain places
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: you knew you weren't supposed to go. But then I
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: also had my white friend and Thomas and his family
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: who lived right by me, so it was a class thing.
- 1:26:47Speaker 5: So it's just it's just, I don't know, it's top kind.
- 1:26:49Speaker 19: Of different, but a tag team. But you first chairman,
- 1:26:53Speaker 19: friend Anton Junr. Honored to be here again. Count first
- 1:26:56Speaker 19: salute to his brother and his wife, his team. You
- 1:26:58Speaker 19: know what I'm saying, everything's political clue in the fashion
- 1:27:01Speaker 19: able to get this peel and the apple sauce, we
- 1:27:02Speaker 19: least type of discussions. It's a revolutionary. It's a misnomer
- 1:27:05Speaker 19: about like it's motivated how your moves, how we move.
- 1:27:08Speaker 19: It's a hatred for someone else, commandante uh or this
- 1:27:13Speaker 19: though Chakovar said, you know, a revolutionary no matter how
- 1:27:16Speaker 19: preposterous it may sound, it's got a boy the most
- 1:27:18Speaker 19: sincerereous sentiments of love. And I'm not saying this sort
- 1:27:20Speaker 19: of abstracts sort of way, but we're talking about the
- 1:27:22Speaker 19: work such organizations, the Black Panther Party. The motivation for
- 1:27:25Speaker 19: getting up with the first free breakfast programs, free busting programs,
- 1:27:28Speaker 19: survival programs was not directly at a hatred for anyone,
- 1:27:31Speaker 19: you know what I'm saying, But again, motivate for love
- 1:27:33Speaker 19: for people. But let me say this though, I think
- 1:27:35Speaker 19: all black people should get like a mass no Bel
- 1:27:38Speaker 19: Peace Prize, all of us. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:27:39Speaker 19: The fact that we ain't this on masks snapped out.
- 1:27:42Speaker 19: You know what I'm saying, you know, not to this iran,
- 1:27:44Speaker 19: that we ain't motivated at a hatred. But again, and
- 1:27:46Speaker 19: sometimes even though it's a reactionary response, it's kind of justified.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: But again, for the record, it's a motive got a
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: love for the people? You like to echo off.
- 1:27:55Speaker 30: I could Hi, I'm Frederica and hearing who was my husband?
- 1:27:59Speaker 30: And what came to mind when you even asked that
- 1:28:03Speaker 30: question was a quote from Hughie that said what motivates
- 1:28:07Speaker 30: people is not hatred, but.
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: It's love for other people.
- 1:28:11Speaker 30: So my mother was white, and she introduced me to
- 1:28:14Speaker 30: Hue because she was doing work with the Black Panther
- 1:28:17Speaker 30: Party and she was the only one that they trusted
- 1:28:20Speaker 30: to do the real estate work.
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: So I couldn't.
- 1:28:22Speaker 30: I did not grow up hating anyone, but what I
- 1:28:26Speaker 30: do hate is white supremacy and the impact on black community.
- 1:28:29Speaker 30: I actually hate that and the impacts of an impact
- 1:28:33Speaker 30: that has had on us. So again, as my brother
- 1:28:39Speaker 30: said so eloquently, as he always does, as he always does,
- 1:28:43Speaker 30: is that the Black Panther Party service was out of love,
- 1:28:48Speaker 30: out of love for black people, out of love for
- 1:28:50Speaker 30: oppressed people, and it wasn't it wasn't guided by hate.
- 1:28:54Speaker 30: So it's impossible for me to hate anybody.
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: Landy, why was it important to have these historical BLO
- 1:29:00Speaker 5: figures walk into Actively Black fashion show?
- 1:29:03Speaker 13: Yeah?
- 1:29:03Speaker 29: So one the tagline for Actively Black is there's greatness
- 1:29:06Speaker 29: in our DNA and very intentional about that because I
- 1:29:09Speaker 29: think over the centuries of oppression, subconsciously our people have accepted,
- 1:29:15Speaker 29: not I won't say accepted. Sometimes it seeks into our
- 1:29:18Speaker 29: subconscious that we are less than, not as good as
- 1:29:21Speaker 29: this is what has been told to us, this is
- 1:29:22Speaker 29: what has been preached to us for centuries.
- 1:29:25Speaker 4: I'm trying to rewrite that narrative.
- 1:29:26Speaker 29: I'm trying to deprogram and reprogram our own people to
- 1:29:29Speaker 29: understand that there's greatness in our DNA. There's literal greatness
- 1:29:33Speaker 29: in the DNA that walked on that runway. When you
- 1:29:36Speaker 29: see Malcolm and Martin's daughters walk on that runway together.
- 1:29:40Speaker 29: That DNA is something that has moved mountains, that has
- 1:29:45Speaker 29: changed lives, you know what I'm saying, And that exists
- 1:29:47Speaker 29: within all of us. So it was important for our
- 1:29:49Speaker 29: people to see that, to know that we are more
- 1:29:52Speaker 29: than just our trauma, you know what I mean. We
- 1:29:54Speaker 29: have so much greatness inside of us, and if we
- 1:29:56Speaker 29: start acting out of that greatness, that's how we can
- 1:29:59Speaker 29: change the for our community.
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: How difficult was it getting everybody in and how how
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: long did it take.
- 1:30:06Speaker 8: It?
- 1:30:08Speaker 4: It was stressful.
- 1:30:09Speaker 29: One there was a white supremacist who was killed by
- 1:30:13Speaker 29: another white man about a week before our show, and yeah, yeah,
- 1:30:19Speaker 29: and it sent some shockwaves through our plans because you're
- 1:30:25Speaker 29: talking about children of people who were assassinated, real political violence,
- 1:30:31Speaker 29: and so I had to reconvince Iliosa Shavaz and Doctor
- 1:30:35Speaker 29: King to still be a part of this show.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: There was some safety concerns.
- 1:30:38Speaker 29: We had to bring in three extra teams of security
- 1:30:41Speaker 29: just to make sure that they were secure because the
- 1:30:44Speaker 29: rhetoric was that there was going to be payback, which
- 1:30:46Speaker 29: never made sense to me because there was a white
- 1:30:48Speaker 29: man that killed them, you know what I mean. But
- 1:30:50Speaker 29: I think the reason why I was able to execute on.
- 1:30:53Speaker 29: That was the respect that I had paid to these
- 1:30:56Speaker 29: individuals before everyone you see up here, Doctor King, doctor
- 1:31:00Speaker 29: Iliosta Shabbaz. I went to them and asked them for
- 1:31:03Speaker 29: permission to put their family members on this gear. I
- 1:31:07Speaker 29: have licensing agreements with them so that when we sell apparel,
- 1:31:11Speaker 29: the Black Panther Party Museum gets money, Fred Hampton, the
- 1:31:14Speaker 29: Hampton House gets money.
- 1:31:15Speaker 4: Cecil Williams Museum gets.
- 1:31:17Speaker 29: Money, right the Sabbaz Center, the King Center actively black
- 1:31:21Speaker 29: pays them when we sell this merch. And so you know,
- 1:31:24Speaker 29: you can go on any market or any weekend and
- 1:31:26Speaker 29: you'll see a lot of us selling this stuff, not
- 1:31:29Speaker 29: realizing these people actually lost people in this struggle and
- 1:31:33Speaker 29: they weren't compensated right, And so I think I earned
- 1:31:36Speaker 29: a level of respect with them that when I made
- 1:31:38Speaker 29: that call and I asked them, can you walk on
- 1:31:40Speaker 29: this wrongway for me?
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: They answered the call. And I feel so humbled. I mean,
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: Doctor King.
- 1:31:45Speaker 29: When she arrived, she gave me a signed speech from
- 1:31:48Speaker 29: her father and she prayed with me, and I broke
- 1:31:50Speaker 29: down and cried, you know what I mean, Like her
- 1:31:52Speaker 29: schedule is crazy for her to move around her travel
- 1:31:55Speaker 29: schedule to be there for this show. It's something I'm
- 1:31:58Speaker 29: forever grateful to.
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: Did you have any concerns, security concerns at.
- 1:32:00Speaker 29: All, My man Cainan make sure we were we were
- 1:32:03Speaker 29: we were, we were, We were good with the security.
- 1:32:06Speaker 29: We weren't gonna let nobody even get close to touching
- 1:32:09Speaker 29: you know this royalty.
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:32:11Speaker 9: What does it mean to be actively black?
- 1:32:14Speaker 29: Oh that's such a layer question. And there's there's a
- 1:32:19Speaker 29: reason why I named it that you got to understand.
- 1:32:21Speaker 29: When I was starting to actively black. By the way,
- 1:32:23Speaker 29: we'll celebrate five years this Black Friday. We launched on
- 1:32:25Speaker 29: Black Friday twenty twenty. I had a lot of black
- 1:32:29Speaker 29: people tell me, don't name the company actively black. I
- 1:32:32Speaker 29: had black executives tell me, if you put black in
- 1:32:34Speaker 29: this name, it will not be successful.
- 1:32:38Speaker 4: And I realized that a lot of.
- 1:32:40Speaker 29: Them were speaking from a place of a fear of
- 1:32:44Speaker 29: working in corporate environments where they had to minimize who
- 1:32:46Speaker 29: they were and their identity. And so there's nothing passive
- 1:32:51Speaker 29: about what we have to do to uplift our people, right,
- 1:32:53Speaker 29: So it's a double entendre.
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: I want our people to be more healthy.
- 1:32:58Speaker 29: We do free mental health events, we do physical activations
- 1:33:04Speaker 29: where We're having people do yoga, sound back, meditation. We're
- 1:33:08Speaker 29: getting our people access to the things that they need
- 1:33:10Speaker 29: so that we can keep moving. That's the only way
- 1:33:12Speaker 29: the movement can keep going is if we're healthy enough
- 1:33:14Speaker 29: to keep moving. Right, So it's a double on time
- 1:33:16Speaker 29: where we're active, we're brand. You know, there's no reason
- 1:33:19Speaker 29: why we shouldn't have our own Nike. That's what actively
- 1:33:22Speaker 29: Black is when we build this multi billion dollar brand.
- 1:33:25Speaker 29: It's not for my personal wealth. It's for us to
- 1:33:29Speaker 29: uplift our people. Actively black dot com.
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: Hell I want, I want, I want a brother and
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: sister Fredericka give them the museum websites.

- 1:36:59Speaker 4: I like that, like that like that ad.
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Yeah, it does sound like some old Travis Scott the
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: sound effects and all that. That still sounds good.
- 1:37:08Speaker 4: It's like a little bit of Fenhoe.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: That's it sounds like.
- 1:37:13Speaker 18: Like it is.
- 1:37:14Speaker 4: It's a cool record. It just sounds like it should
- 1:37:16Speaker 4: have been out three.
- 1:37:16Speaker 31: But you know, he's an R and B singer and
- 1:37:19Speaker 31: it's called Hydraulics, so it's all in seam to sounds
- 1:37:23Speaker 31: a little.
