• 0:51
  Speaker 5: shizzle makes my heart smile. Yeah, yeah, what's popping from.
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: The lifestyle Specialist? Now the culture man, Why the switch?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: It's really the life our specialists. I just felt like
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: fucking with the algorithm. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: When I came the culture.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Because I just you know, I did a puff daddy
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: on accident. You know what I'm saying. I really feel
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: like where we are today, we need a culture man,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: we need a culture woman, We need culture. And I
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: just feel like I think I'm the best example in
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: our industry of like you know, from family to consistency
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: with my mentees and my people in general, I think
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: I show up the best way.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: And because you started a lifestyle.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Specialist question, no question, but a lot of.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: People started to take on that moniker no question.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Many it's a mini of a lifestyle specially that exists,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: and it's it's supposed to write that. The idea was
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: that you have these creative abilities, but you don't know
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: how to use them all the time. You don't know
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: how to direct the energy. So creating a lifestyle specialist
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: allowed you to kind of be in a playground of
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: sorts and define who you wanted to be versus being
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: judged for every mistake. And okay, I bought my head
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: this way, but it you can bump your head and
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: go to this thing and keep it moving. So I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: proud of everybody doing that thing that that that called
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: themselves affectionately a lifestyle specialist.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So you were the first person I saw making money
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: being yourself. But it was outside of radio I always saw.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I always looked up to people in the radio business.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: And then when I moved to Atlanta, permanently I kept
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: seeing Kenny Burns.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, damn.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I kept asking. I was like, he's on the radio.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It was like, nah, he by himself, how does that happen?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: But then I saw Gray Goose. I never I'll never forget.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: One time I'm changing Little Rari's Pamper Wow Pamper, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I see it's on ESPN. It goes to commercial and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I see Kenny Burns and the Gray Goose commercial.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: I remember that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, So you know, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: snaps for you for that, because what I'm saying is
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: easy to say it, Yeah, but it's hard to sell yourself. Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: and you're talking to someone who had to study you
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: because I came in the same way. Actually I couldn't.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get hired on the radio.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: You couldn't quite define what the energy was you had.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I went straight out to college from Tampa,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I had an internship, and I'm over here plying to
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the radio stations. I couldn't get in, So who do I?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: What do I?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And I kept saying, Oh, there's a there's a lane
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: right there, and I saw what you were doing. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: was coming. I mean you. The rest is history. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I was just saying for the audience that may not
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: know I was watching you. I was literally on my
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: iPhone taking notes. Okay, this is I says, this is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: what's going on with that. I got to figure out
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: my own way to do it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, And it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Took a while, but we got there, and then I
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: verged off a little bit. You kept me on track.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Burst off a couple more times.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: You kept me on track, but I felt like I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: had to do it my own way. I just say
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that to say you were the first person I saw
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: sell yourself and make money for being Kenny Burn, Like
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: that's your real name, Like my name is my name
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is Ferrari? Because I just loved that. I remember when
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I changed it from Sean to Ferrari. What are you doing?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like keep shawing, but you
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: get paid to be literally you, and.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: It takes time.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That's dope.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: But I think you're looking at yourself now. You all
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: are looking at yourself. You're like, I mean even I remember,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: meaning you know o ct at the radio stay.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: The first she didn't say anything.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: No, she was not a personality on radio.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I alwaysn't a person not on radio. But I was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to myself. People didn't know that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I've always seen you for exactly who.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: You were seek out stars.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really do, honestly, and thank you for that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: But I saw like when I worked with her, it
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: was like, wait, she way more talented. Because you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: if someone can take your voice and music and put
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: all the things around to make it a thing, they
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: got to be able to do it themselves. Like it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: just it's just a matter of time. And when I
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: put this whole thing together, y'all were the first two.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Sue that I was like, Yo,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: this is it just makes sense because each of y'all
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: had those qualities at that time. You know what I'm saying.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: You've been an amazing addition. You're you're hilarious by the way,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: appreciate it. But the whole point is that, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: we all start somewhere, you know what I mean. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: whole key is to start understood.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Going back to that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You know when Y was talking like you had the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Kenny Burns show, you know on YouTube?
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: I guess was it YouTube?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Well? I had, so fuck Reggie Rouse. I just want
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: to say that, Okay, oh uh fuck uh Ryan Cameron
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: for back then, for back then. I love Ryan, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: fuck Ryan back then because Ryan. The reason I got
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: into radio is because Ryan Cameron hated on me. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: the story goes, so, Frank Skid has always been like
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: me to you right, always saw my light. Always was
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: like Kenny Kenny, Kenny Kenny, you know, great great man.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And I wanted to get in radio because I was
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: doing the clubs. I had already had the energy without
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: the radio. I was party king like you know what
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. And I was like, let me get on
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the radio. And Alex big shot the agentertainer, he kept
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: up asking me to do it. You know what I'm saying.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: He's like, yo, go on the radio. Like I couldn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: do the live broadcast because I went on the radio, bustuoners.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I get on the twelve, the club went crazy. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: he's like, yo, if you could just so anybody. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: was like, you know what, let me just cause I
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: mean I had something to say. At the time, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: felt like culture was going in directions where I was leading,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: and so I felt like my messaging would have been great.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: So you know, I'm always premeditated with my offer. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I'm literally like, I'm gonna go get on radio, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I never get Frank tried to lay it up. Ryan
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Cameron said, not quote to many of people that came
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: back to me, why we let a non radio person
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: on radio, And right then and there, I was like,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: oh R. So I went and got with Mike Johnson. Oh.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I went out with Mike Johnson. We started be High
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: FM and we had the Kenny Byrne Show on Behive
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: FL and we were murdered. And I set it up
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: at two to six every day to go against Ryan
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: and we made so much noise. I think it was
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: eight months later Reggie came knocking. So that's like, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: a testament to to it, like if someone doesn't hear
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: you or doesn't believe you, got to create that shit.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: So we're in the world of media now that it
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: doesn't take a radio station, and you did this.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Back then when it was very it was more difficult.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: To a no podcast.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: There was no podcast and.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: To be honest with me shouting Mike Johnson although he
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: supports Trump, and I don't even today I think he
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: supports Trump, So fuck you too. Like but and I
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: love you. But the point I'm trying to make it,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: I don't understand you know what I mean, Like.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You came in swinging, you came in you know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love Ryan. I just but I wanted
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: to tell you how I felt at the time because
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: it was fucking everybody. And I think at some point
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: in your life if things aren't meeting the mark or
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: meeting what you work for and prepare for a fuck everybody.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm talking about because guess what I
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: say this all the time. When I show up, everybody
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: get in line. It's no, I'm not no gangster, no more.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I don't go through no gangster ship. But it's a
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: respect thing. It's like, how could you not fuck with
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: this guy? Like he puts everybody on, He shakes everything,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: and he was looking gives people opportunity he doesn't know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: He speaks to culture in a way that's enduring, you
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, or endearing right and enduring. But yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: so I just I didn't mean the bus shots early,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: but no, and.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: When you said let it up, you were co hosting
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the morning show, you know at that time.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: No, so no. When I got to your point when
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I got the gig eight months later, Frankskey said, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: only want Kenny hosting the morning show.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, he's but he didn't.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: He didn't really fuck with Ryan at the time either,
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: because there was you know, there was no I'm not
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: it's not a bad thing, but Ryan was the heir apparent,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: What I mean, Like he was next, he was next.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: And so it was a thing, right, But then it
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: was also too like nah, I fuck would dude, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: then me and Wanda hit. It all so crazy and
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I want to say, you.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Did sound amazing in the morning.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: I remember listening, and I want to say fifty two
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: weeks out of that year, I might have did ten weeks,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: like some unheard of and this is like my first
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: time on radio ever.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: You were coming there on our show too. I was
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: on Ryan camer.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Show, yes, because I was doing weekends, so everybody knows.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: That's why I had to.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Did Sundays Friday.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: He was already over one O three.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Sunday and remote Friday. But you did that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: You did the world famous compound, no question.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: But I named it the world Oh yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I said that in the previous thing. I will say,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: though you determined if I went out that night or
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: not really by the picture of your voice. Let me
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: know if it was empty or if it was packed.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And you know, back in the clubs, you know, me
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: and him went viral, well, all of us went viral. Uh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: they said, you know, people, a lot of people mad
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: at us. I had an argument with Jabar Cash with
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: my camera. I had argument with Jabar Cash. She was
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: mad at me. But I invited him to come on
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: the podcast and on the radio.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And don't side with haters. We don't, we don't sid
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I already talked to him about that. Will saw it
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: with hater No.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, I felt like the Atlanta nightlife was ruined. Yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Well, BT said that, But
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I said, I see both sides. Because there's no dance floor.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The dance floor is gone. That's in fact, you know
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Like, there's not even an option to dance.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So I just want to give some motherfuckers some options.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: If anyone's valid to say an opinion on night life,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: someone that's been in it for fifteen years and did
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it at the highest level like me, I can say.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: That you saw the end of an era in the
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: beginning of a newer I was there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: With your era.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I created my own, and then I blended in with
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the new guys and now they're the old Doug.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: You know, like, you don't like this music, you can't
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: possibly like this music, so you learn from me. So
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I'm like you saw the value of good music and
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: feeling women in the way.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: But I was stuck in a place where I'm big
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I'm big bro and little bro at the same time
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: because he ain't number thirty. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: He's with me, no facts, I get it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So he's with me.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But the way that I was with you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I agree. I don't know about the smoke. I mean,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: at least you didn't say bar because you know, no, no, no, no,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I know. I'm just saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Business right now, that relationship where we could curse each other.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, But I think, in all fairness to what you
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: were saying, right, I think when VIP sections came it
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: killed the club everywhere everywhere. You can't because it's no
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: VP at that point, right, it's just people. It's a
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: sports people trying to outdo each other having but see
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: that gout complacency involved in night life. You can't be
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: chilling in night life. You gotta be spirited. Like it
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: was almost like you know how, like a motherfucker be
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: getting ready to do the double Dutch. They was like,
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: all ship about to come on. It's about because even
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: when he said about coming to the club big shot,
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: the DJ Baby You. First of all, he's doing my
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: no or No Love part. He is the best DJ.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Like I'm talking about anybody I've ever and DJ Infamous
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: obviously an Ace and all my people. I loved them all,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: but DJ Baby You it's different. And because we did
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: we started doing the broadcast.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: When we was on the radio.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: If he's nobody in the club and it sounded like
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: four thousand people in the.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I would hear Kenny Burns say, what up? T what Like, Yo,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: it's litter there, I'm like.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: But that was also around the time the Late culture starting,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: right when people were coming to the club at twelve
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: and one and.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Who started that?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But compound had a dance floor. Compound had a dance floor,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: and then he opened up the area for people to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: come look at the VP. The vip was an experience
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: at the time.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: The stage.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You will literally come, you will go dance over there,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: or if you want to see who was who, you
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: will come over to the vip era and who's who
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: will be in that VP.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Are question, no question. And I love Alex and what
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: he did monetarily because it will never be done again.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: What he did. I mean, sixty something tables sold out,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: you know, I.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Remember, that's crazy.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: I remember seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars at the
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: bar nights, million dollar bar nights.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Like I remember the night.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I remember it because I had the liquor money, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about, and whatever I sponsored, I
• 13:23

• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I was the club guy, and I felt like, you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: just asserting myself in the power that I had.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: You guys had previous history.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: We've had history forever, but it's always been rocky, right,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: It's always been some issues on some level, you know
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: what I mean.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I felt like it was always like competition.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: First time the first time I met him in high school.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: You met Diddy in high school.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: When I was in high school in Washington, d C.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: I met Sean Comes. He went to Howard. It was
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: a street thing. I was in the street. We sixteen
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: years old. We had fake id's we in the club
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: popping moat. So he's like, who are y'all? You know
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying? And mind you He's at Howard. He's
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: back and forth from New York. He's going through his
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: whole thing. So I was just like, damn okay. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: learned about Mary j.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Blige.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: I learned about Joe said, all these people he was
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: working with, and then my industry father, who became my
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: industry I was under herrail through him like I saw
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: his world. Right. So long story short, fast forward freak
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Nick ninety four. We got into some gun play at
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: the world famous warehouse that used to be world famous
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: before it was originally the Phoenix, then became the Warehouse
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: before compound was the world famous and we had some
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: gun play with a fight, and so we've always had
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: like energy, you know what I mean. But that night
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: at the world famous compound, I had a billboard, Oh
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: no question, I was taunting him. I had a bill
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: board in front of Justice strategically.

• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Greg Goo's bottle. I had another one that the Gold Room. Uh.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: And then that night at the compound, I put my
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: booth in front of his see because you remember the
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: stage was in the stage, Alex started putting boots on
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: the floor, so I took the whole front. So every
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: time he said, we're like ahor and I promised you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I probably popped a hundred bottles that night just to
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: fuck with him, and so he was I never forget it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Walker got my money up. I can't read, and so
• 16:15

• 16:17
  Speaker 5: in my table double fisted with Greg Goose and it
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: was like.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: You light skinned motherfuckers hate he was doing viral. He
• 16:24

  Speaker 5: Yeah, well he was doing that prior to this.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was already was.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: He was going crazy on everybody that wasn't rock, which
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: was part of his tactic in which partly blew up
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: sar Rock. But anyway, it's legendary. It's in my documentary.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: It's Google of Boots.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: What matters most documentary, Yeah, coming out soon.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking of a film, you have a film series on
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Peacock Fight Night.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, September ninth.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, journalists journals talk about it. Yeah. Absolutely. September fifth,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Fight Night, The Million Dollar Heights comes out on Peacock.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: It is the story of Chicken Man, who was a
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: local hustler in Atlanta played he's played by Kevin Hart
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: in the late sixties early seventies. Actually happened in nineteen seventies,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: a heist died. There's a juxtaposition to the street life
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: that Chickenman was living with JD, who was the first
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: black detective in Atlanta, who's being played by Don Cheatle,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: and there's a dynamic relationship with them. There's a whole
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: lot of gangster ship that surrounds this, uh this fight night,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: right because Ali, fresh off the Dodger status, was fighting
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Corey and it was you know, he was the great
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: White hope back then, and it was at the Municipal
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Center here in Atlanta, and JD happened to be on
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the detail of Ali that night, and every gangster in
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: the world was coming to Atlanta. And there's one in
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: particular named Frank Molten who's from New York City who
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Sam Jackson plays, and then his henchman is Terrence Howard,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: who has a motherfucking perm and it's so called old
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: with this flip Pern. You never knew by the way,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: you needed Sam Jackson and Terance Howard in anything.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Terrence Howard retired from acting. No, no, that's what he said, retired.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: He did not. He showed up and showed out Harvey
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: in this thing. Lloyd Harvey's playing Lola Felana. Chloe Bailey's
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: in it, but you know, and crazy Taraji P. Hills.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I know, y'all connected.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: No, everybody had.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: A different idea for this at first, right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: So the project came to me Originally I heard about
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: it working with Dallas Austin and Dave Gates. And then
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: when I went to go launch VOW Television, I was
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: trying to find all the IP and all the stories
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I had ever heard that I wanted to do, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I was thinking about Fight Night because I'm like, you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: into that til Icebox got robbed a couple of years ago.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: That was the biggest heist in Georgia history, and that
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: was nineteen seventy, so it always stayed in my mind.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: I'm a seventies baby, like I have an affinity for
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the air style, music, fashion, et cetera. So I just
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: went to go find it, thought Dallas still had it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: He didn't have the life right. So I went and
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: found Jeff Keating through Dave Gates and we were locked
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: in and Will Packard saw the vision from the from
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: the door. We had a Universal had given us a
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: film and at first so we had a film project
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: at Universal. It didn't go through. We had a whack
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: ass script. And then ironically, Kevin Hart was coming out
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: with Uptown Saturday Night, which is based off of our story,
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: but you know, Uptown Saturday Night is the news clippings whatever.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: And so the fiftieth anniversary was coming up of the Fight,
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: and we did a podcast and the podcast went crazy
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and literally ignited all the interests. We'll call keV was like,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: you know, you want to do this with a since
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: you're not doing your projects, like absolutely, and then to
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: your point, we have every black superhero on the planet.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: We have Sam Jackson, Kevin Hart, to Rogi p Henson,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Terrence Howard, don She, We have sin Kwah Walls, Melvin
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Gregg who played man Boy, Miles Bullock who was on
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: BMF and was part of the We had had Chloe
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Bailey kilt It, Lori Harvey playing Lola Falana. We had
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: actions which this guy is unbelievable. Wait you see his
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: parent Do you see my afro? I'm playing you got afro?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That?
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm playing cat.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: That episode through there was real question is this is this?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Is this where you're at now? Is this where Kenny Burns,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the great Kenny Burns? Is this where another notch in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: your belt of the notch? I think it's just that
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make you feel bubbly inside, like, well.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Oh must it took? You know, I've been involved with
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: this project twelve years. Thirteen years, so it didn't long.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: That's a long time. But that's also a note for
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: people to understand. Sometimes it take a long time for
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: something to come to fruition, like that question. Pretty sure
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: you have been planning this that whole time.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: And had a lot of stuff going on while this
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: was still on the tables. I mean, we had a
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: feature at Universal that goes away. We've got a podcast
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: with iHeart Sus to deal with Peacock, right, So big
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: shot to Peacock in Universal obviously, But it's just a
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: testament to stand down, you know, for what you believe.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: And this is not a game of you know, get
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: discouraged and move on. I know this generation likes to
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: just throw it away and start over, you know what
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. But you got to stay down. If you
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: want to get down, and.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: This isn't your first you know, go at it as
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: far as film and television.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Because you gave Dame Dash the idea.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: For Paid in Full.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I actually gave him the script, introduced him to as
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: the original a z that wood Hare has played in
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: the movie, and took him down to John Street when
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: they were still on John Street. This is how far
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: I go back to.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: So you gave him the whole idea for Paid the Full.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: I introduced him too. Well, well what ended up being
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: wood Hairs. His character's name is Azy. He the one
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: got shot in the face. Yeah, so he was still alive. Still,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: it's still alive down met.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: But you didn't get any credit for that.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I didn't get any credit. And you know that was
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: more young and these are my I just want to roll.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I end up seeing them three or three years later
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: on Seventh Avenue.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: He's like, you're get in the car. I was like,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: where are we going.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: It's like we're going to the premiere and paying for
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I'm like bitch, you're supposed to call me for my role.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot of things you didn't get credit for.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Wait, did you even get a check from that?
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I ain't get on check either. I mean, I feel
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: like anything that's for you is for you. You just
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: gotta you know, pay your dues in a sense and
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: also learned. I mean, even with this project, I should have,
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: you know, been a lot higher on the ranking as
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: far as I'm concerned. But then you don't know the game.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: You gotta come on the movie Fight Night. Yeah, I mean,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I'm exactly producer. I'm called exactive producer, but i mean,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: like on a call sheet, Well, no, I'm on everything.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: He's everything.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: There's always levels, gotcha.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: There's a real packer level in this particular situation, Kenny
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Burns levels, gotcha. But you know, like you said.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: It's a fish out of water and you are learning
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: as you go.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: And that's what I want to encourage all entrepreneurs to do.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: You know, It's like you you have to be in
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: the game to play, and a lot of you want
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: to hold everything you know so tight, as if there's
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: nothing else for you to have, and that's just not
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: real life.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Real quick I just want to say, while we're on Rockefeller,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Dame Dash is going through a lot as far as
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: his rights being.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Taken, the stock that he owns, his ownership, yeah, the
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: stock in basically.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: He owes some money. Yeah, and he's trying to sell
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: his portion of Reasonable Doubt. And uh, it's sad, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: to be in a position, you know, where you are
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: now having to sell a piece of your legacy, right,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: because reasonable Doubt is have you know, a couple of
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: decades old, right, and it's a treasure. It's one of
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: the greatest rap albums from one of the greatest artists ever,
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: and you were a part of that. So I feel
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: bad that he's even in the position where he has to,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: you know, relinquish some type of asset or that type
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: of asset. Right. The other thing is I would they
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: had a better relationship so that he could go to
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: J and be like, Jay, look, I just want to
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: get rid of this bro. I need X, Y and Z.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: You know, Like, how easy is that? And why wouldn't
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Jay do it? I mean, he helps people he doesn't
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: even know out financially, right, And I'm sure a deep
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: down he would help, you know, And you think is ego.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Thing is ego. It's also the life you create for yourself,
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: right if you are out here, voice loud and you know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: saying all the things dam has said. I mean, how
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: can he not you know, catch some heat, you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: And like I said, I just feel bad because I
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: know them both, and I know his heart is gold,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, what he intends to do
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: is gold. Don't know Jay as well as I know
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Damon and Biggs. But anytime I've you know, been around Jay,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: you know, the last you know, since reasonable doubt, I've
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: only seen him be charitable. I've only seen him, you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: put on a culture in the most respectable way. So yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I just I hate to see. But that's why I
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: left Rockefeller too, because when they started to split, it
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: was no longer.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: You know, what was your actual position at I.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Was a vice president of Rockefeller and I was the
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: president of rock Music. So Nicole, ray Reil, Allen, Anthony,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Kanye West. At first they were all.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: You had the first version of Kanye West him, he
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: came in.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: I tried to sign Kanye when he when he was
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: with a group called the Go Getters. This was before Rockefeller.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Him GLC I forgot the other guy's name. But I've
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: been working with John Monopoly, don Cee, and Kanye since
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: I met my wife. Actually, I used to go hang

  Speaker 5: you know, just dealing with you know, real things. We're
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: in a very very different time and actually the episode
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: that just came out is uncharted territories. We all in
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: uncharted territories. We all are seeking new direction, new relationships,
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: trying new things, fulfilling you know, this new energy that
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: we've created for ourselves opportunities. So I just you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: I see that growing and being you know, part of
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: my legacy and probably the thing I end on. I'm
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: going to continue to make films and television. We're working
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: on some things. Big Shot to Will Packer, big Shot

  Speaker 1: On your podcast, you be real about whatever you say
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and you don't mind saying it. So I appreciate that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and being that it started in the pandemic. Another thing
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that started was a club quarantine.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, nice, Yes, listen, bro is the greatest damn show?
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 28:23

  Speaker 3: The greatest show on Earth. I see the happening.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: No, we've definitely said that. Okay, yeah, we definitely said that.

  Speaker 5: And I truly believe he and I are the greatest
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: show on Earth.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's y'all, y'all.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: But I just want to say this, y'all, like and
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: this is you know, you're a host, You're a host.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: You're a host, you're all in media, you understand the
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: value of people. Right. I've never in my life experienced
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: anything like Club Quarantine. I'm talking about literally, and I've
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: hosted before Club Quarantine, I hosted the Arenas Clubs. I've
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: done it all. But to do let's start with the
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: you know, Apollo Theater. I had never done Apollo there
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: prior to doing it with d I had never done
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: the Kennedy Center in my hometown of Washington, DC. The
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: first time my seventy five year old aunt saw me
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: host was at the fucking Kennedy Center with the live orchestra. Right,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: I've never hosted Carnegie Hall, Like these are venues where
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: black folk couldn't go in. So to have that energy,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. First of all, we already
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: had our thing, right Nis and Burns is going to
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: be forever, right, but to have his new movement honestly
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: take him and propel him to where it's propelled him.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: We're talking about the biggest DJ in the world. Prior
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: to that, he used to tell me I want to
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: be the biggest DJ in the world. And he literally
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: that happened. He was the most important DJ in the world, right,
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: So then you look at like life and then it's like, okay, cool,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: We're we're doing these legendary landmarks. We're doing, you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: all these amazing shows to tens of thousands of people
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: every time we show up in the city. So I
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: just want to give d as props man, because I
• 29:53

  Speaker 5: He deserves it because ain't gonna lie to you, bro, Like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: and you've been around DJs. You are a DJ. You
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: know you love music. Oh see, t you know how
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: impactful music could be. I've never met somebody to beat
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: when he's in like cans France. You know, we we
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: had club quarantines, the biggest party doing Canns lines right,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: and my first year was last year, not this year.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Y'all saw it on Instagram the last two years. But
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: when I tell you, nobody in there like being from there,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm talking about, and you got in
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: another country in the field. I mean, it's unbelievable, man,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: what we do together. You know, I talked to I
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: talked the best ship in the world. He plays the
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: best music in the world, like and it's just a vibe.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: So I just I love you, man, congrats on everything.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: And it's always good energy like I had my first
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: my first chance was to see him DJ was at
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Poppy last year and then this this past year for
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: the BT Awards. I was like, he actually a good dude,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: like he does. You know, some people, you know, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: could tell, like, man, this person is his ship that
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: they just got They just talented. But this, you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: d Nice is actually like a good person, good energy.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: And that was my first time being around him, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: you know, first impressions is everything.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: He's a great human man. And to know his story
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: when he does his documentary and you see where he
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: was mentally prior to the pandemic, man, it saved his
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: life too. When you see his documentary, his story, like
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you're going to be very inspired.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I question for you it was there ever any moment
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: in your career where you were just urg bruh, are
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: you kidding me? Last week?
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: No, I think it's I think it's something to be
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: said when you're an authentic being, right, when you're a
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: genuine person, and you don't get that authenticity or genuineness
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: from others. Right. So that's always been a problem for
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: me from the door. You know, you just you want
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: to give your all, your you leave with intent, You
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: show up for people, and then they don't show up
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: for you. You know. BT and I were talking prior
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: to It's like I got summons to a commercial the
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: other day, you know, talking about and it's like, well, damn,
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: I just text you about something. You know what sound like? Why?
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: You know? But it's weird like that. So you can't
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: take it personal, right, You can feel it, and I
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: suggest everybody always feel all the feelings. Know what disappointment, sadness,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: being hurt, know what that feels like. But you can't
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: really trip because this is not an industry for you
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: to enter not knowing that these motherfuckers ain't shit or
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: don't have no real intention on being your friend. So
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, disappointment is a part of the game.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't say there's you know, things that really turned
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: me up to the point where like, you know, I
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: mean you don't know, you know me long than anybody here,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: but like if you knew me in my twenties, I
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: smacked the ship out of the moll buck like just
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: because it's about respect. There's no social media. What happens
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: here stage here. No, I'm dead serious.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I'm dead serious. Whoever know me?
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: And the thing about it is is like you can't
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: you can't be that person at a certain age. You
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: can't fly off the handle. So you better learn how
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: to deal with disappointment. You better learn how to deal
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: with frustration. And it's gonna come from people close to you.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: It's gonna come from you know, family members.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: You just got to be able to pivot.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Man. Yeah, And that's a lot of times. And this
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: is why I feel sorry for y'all. I know you
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: was thirty, nigga, this is crazy. But your generation, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: but your generation, y'all get to see everything about your superhero.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: There's no mysterious nothing, there's no mistique. All the women
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: show you what they got, you ain't even got to
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: take it. So it's a weird place to be in
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: because then what is the actual genuineness of the relationship.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: I've seen you do this, I know you do this,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I know your habits, I know who you hang with,
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: I know where you be. I don't like none of
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: that shit, So like, is it taking affinity away? You
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, is it taking the respect away?
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: So it's just a weird place to be and we're
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: in weird times. That's why you don't see me doing
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of shit no more. I do the right shit,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: big black, temp pole black, excellent shit. I don't do
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: none of the nigga shit because the nigga shit needs
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: to die.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: And you stand on business with that. Another thing you're
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: doing is no ordinary love an event that you put.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: On quarterly fire.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you, thank you.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I actually called you about that one. I went out
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: my way and called you.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: No ordinary love is the way I feel about music,
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: the way I feel about you know, fashion, my people moments.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: You know, there's no ordinary love to those feelings. Like
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: it's not you know, I always tell my wife I
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: love you, but it's something more and then as you
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: saw it documentary, I came with the word respect. But
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: knowing they love for me is an o to I'm
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: not done right. I don't want to do it all
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: the time, but when I want to do it, I'm
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: gonna turn the fuck up. So the last knowing their love,
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: I bought a limb price from Oyster Hut. People were like,
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: what is this? Then they ate the food like this motherfucker.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: You know, you know it was a pool party.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: It was a pool party. You know. We had all
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: the sections and the things, and nobody wanted to leave.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: And big Shot the prong horn. They sponsored all the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: ordinary loves but shout to my l So it's just
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: a gathering of like minded individuals who like to have
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: a good motherfucking time.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: So what about Uncle Niar's Man?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: The best investment I ever made?
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Model Left of the house.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: You know, whole bunch.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: When I first told you all about that, keep those bottles.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: If they have the house on it, it's done. Okay,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: you have.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Yours, the brown and the white.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Brown in they thank you for telling me.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Now, No, I'm just saying that they're gonna be worth
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: some money because the new logo is the distillery logo
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: and the logos I gave you guys was the dan
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Call Farmhouse. Yeah, which was the house that Jack Daniels
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: came as an orphan and he learned how to make
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: whiskey for. But there's means amazing, man's uh, you know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: we just I think it was just evaluated one point
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: one billion. For everyone who thinks I'm an ambassador, I.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Am an owner. And what you say, oh.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's so wild because you know, I don't
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: be running around I don't have a one point one
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: billion dollars either, But.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I say that some people about to be calling you, but.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: I have a couple of hundred thousand shares. You could
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: do the math. We started seventy five cents, it's now
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: thirty something dogs. So so the thing is though, like
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: when you was thinking, went to his calculator. But the
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: thing is like when you think about like, you know
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Kenny Burns, you see him around these brands and for
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: so long, to even Rari's point earlier, it's like I
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: was making these other brands so and then billions came
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: through and I haven't consulted for another brand without ownership since.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: And you have a new spirit and African Spirit.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, African portfolio actually by ab Gin. There are four
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: different gins has take care of my mentees.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: That's my boy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we have Boosovaka, which we have four skews,
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: one here in the States and three abroad. And we
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: just introduced uh single agave which is in African agave,
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: which is is not from the region of tequila, so
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: it cannot be called tequila. But it's some of the
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: best tequila we ever tasted.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I want to try it. I'm a tequila love. I
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: love me some tequila.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: I got you say less.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how you're going to roll it out,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: because you're always doing something creative.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: No, these partners I have in this one, you know,
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: I on ten percent of that company. It ain't a
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: couple of hundred thousand shares, So let's hope this one
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: goes to one point one man, but also on tem
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: percent of Las Cream, the cor Haesian Creme Us inspired cream,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: the Corps my partners from Haiti, but they live in Montreal.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: But yeah, no, everybody's amazing these founders. Man. You know,
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: it's like faun. Faun is a fucking superhero, y'all. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: used to tell y'all about her, and I used to
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: tell you about the brand that you see all the stories.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: I would tell you how she's so dynamic and what
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: she's done for women in spirits and women in business
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: in general. She has a new book, Love and Whiskey.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: I suggest you all read it quickly. Super insightful. But yeah,
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: it's about having great partners, so I don't have to
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: be the end all be all. I don't have to
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: come up with all the marketing plans. Big shout to
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Demola and Chris. They are young geniuses. I mean not
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: only with the liquid in the bottle, of design of
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: the bottle, of how they're rolling it out, and then
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: bringing on people that I've you know, mentored and taught
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: like Heze and Arianna Marie who you all know, she's
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: on the team as well.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: They get it, man.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: They move cases were I think we're at fourteen thousand
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: cases for last year. We'll double that this year. And
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: if anybody knows anything about spirits, that's when you know
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: people come knocking.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: So I don't know nothing about spirit.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know a little bit. I know what
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you're talking about.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Forteen thousand cases, I don't know, But sound good de
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: Leon might not have done fourteen thousand cases with all
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: the marketing and support that they've.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Haund that people might come calling you to knock everybody's.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Phone. Don't stop ringing. It's just about making the right
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: decision how you want to play the game. Thanks.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: So, is Spirits still like a you know, just for
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the audience? Is it still like a booming business?
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Spirits is a very loocative business. It's like selling drugs.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the markup is.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Incredible because at one point we had, like the movement
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: he had with.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Those were movements that led the movement right. So if
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: those were the ones who got the favor first. You know,
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: what Puff deal with some Rock will arguably go down
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: in history. What you know fifty was doing was getting
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: his feet wet. He I don't think he did what
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Puff did. But now you have real founders that have
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: real stories to tell and passionate about serving, you know,
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: even like what spear Head Spirits with, you know, Ba
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: Singo and Vusa. We want to see Africa in every backbar,
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: like when you drink amarula that's not owned by a
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: black man in South African, but it's not owned by
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: you know, a black Man or black you.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Know, like Lebron with Lobos, Lebron.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: With Lobos, So you have other people in the game.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: So I think now, to your point and to your statement,
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: it is a movement, we have way more people with
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: you know, the right intent and the right kind of
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: idea of what to do in the business. I do
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: think it gets kind of congested when you got like
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: people making local sweet potato vodka and just and it's
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: cool and there's nothing wrong with that, but I think
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: it's like, you know, it clutters up the just like
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: Instagram on social media. Stop yeah, and if you if
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: you have a real story. But I feel, and I
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: don't know how you got it, but I feel all
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: around the world is congested with creatives from every industry
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: because now you're being shown that you can be this
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: successful right by looking at something, and that's false.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: It looks easy on TikTok, it looks easy.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: On I think anybody is feeling like whatever I got
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: to do not to go to work.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: That's and that's a fact. And that's because guess what
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: with these brands, you have to do. You have to work.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: You have to You don't see Kenny Burns not working
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: you don't see farm weave are not working. You don't
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: see people that you respect in business not working. I'm
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: always working, you know what I'm saying. And it's like
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: that's the problem. So when you have creative congestion, you
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: have fall off, right, Like you know, people talking about
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: influencers aren't necessarily no more well no, the word influencers
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: are necessarily. There's always going to be an influencer. There's
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: always going to be somebody leading the charge having the
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: connection being you know, the point person right.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: True definition of what that means exactly.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: But my thing is is, Kenny, if everybody is an influencer,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: who they influencing?
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the problem. You don't know. I mean, you
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: sound crazy to most people with it rings true in
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: my head. What you just said is so important because
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I don't think people understand what you're saying. I'm gonna
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: break it down. You have all these people that say
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: they're influencing something, right, and most of them might get
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: a chair on some way, but it's not because they
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: deserve the check. It's because they know somebody and not
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: because they have a super ordained talent. It's because they
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: know somebody, and that's the problem with this creative congestion
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: because back in the day it was order. You have
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: to you have to build your way up to something.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Therefore you couldn't be knocked off. How many people you
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: see to get knocked off weekly?
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Every week?
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: How many people have you seen in the last year
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: come and go. I'm talking about musically, I'm talking about everything, like,
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: it's not nothing sustainable.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: I can say. In the media space, I just say,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: like in the media space, you actually had to be
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: influential be in this space, and you have to start somewhere.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: You have your talk and you could just talk in
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: the camera and you just had some clips that can
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: go viral. If you think about the algorithm, the algorithm
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: doesn't even suggest you people are watching past thirty seconds, and.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: It's a lie. By the way, the algorithm is a lie.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: They pinpoint, they push traffic away, they push traffic to
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: if you don't buy, If you don't buy, they don't
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: show but the thing. And this is why I think
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, it's gonna go back
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: to real versus fake, because it's not sustainable. No one
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: can keep up this level of presentation and you're not
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: that you can't because you're gonna crash and burn. You're
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: gonna dumb out do something you weren't supposed to do.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: You're gonna try some ship, will pp be scared, you
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: will do something to try to keep up, and it's
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: just not going to be. It's not gonna work out
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: to your advantage.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Meta ruin the Internet.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I think they gave a lot of honestanding. But I
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: said they gave a lot of opportunity. It's what we're
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: doing with It's how we're crashing and burning. It's like
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: the music business. Everything gotta be misogynistic. Everything got to
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: be death. There's no feel good nothing, you know what
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, And that's why there is.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: We are. There is, but it's not. It's not magnified,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: like cities should be way bigger than she is. But
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the ladies talking about the things that's trending that gets
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: more attention.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Which she shouldn't because you respect her more than you
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: respect but.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Respect her more so that she should get magnified.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: Well, you should be you and people like you should
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: be the evangelist.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I think it should be more.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: Have you seen sexy red?
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Don't get me on that because you just get him.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: And Sexy red Yah. I have not seen her music, but.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: First of all, she has bops. I hate the representation,
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: you know, for for my black women. And I come
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: from the ghetto, and I don't believe you were ever
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: meant to stay in the ghetto. I don't believe your
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: mentality was ever meant to stay there. I don't believe
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: you should ever stay there because guess what, And I'm
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: talking about this version of the ghetto. Back in the day,
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: you took care of your ship in the hood. You
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: took care of your ship. You weren't, you know what
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: I mean. Like, I've seen people with four bedrooms in
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: the hood look better than four bedrooms in the penthouse,
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: just because of the way they took care of their surroundings.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: But we have this false sense of identity that we're
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: supposed to be fucked up and that if you don't
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: get money, you ain't shit. And that's all music is betraying.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: And she just happens to be one of the queens
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: of that era. And it's to me, it's unsettling because
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: when you got to double down. I don't know if
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: y'all saw that viral clip a NBA young Boy, Meek Mill.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: It was somebody else basically talking about how they were
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: push to be demonic. They were push to say it's
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: viral clip, it's a viral clip, and they were being pushed.
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: Now when I heard NBA young Boy, Cause y'all remember
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: when we were doing this, I used to go on
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: NB A young boy all the time, like why is
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: he retarded? Like I don't want him to be retarded?
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: But it's like you doubling down on it.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: He said.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: I was made to feel like I had to make
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: that type of music to get money. But guess what's
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: happening right now. It ain't about the art no more.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: It's about money.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: It's about the money.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: And so when you have you know, I don't know,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: y'all seen the clips of the Asian groups, you know,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: done don thin They had the groups and all the
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: and they trying to look like the black version or whatever,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: and it's likeakdancing. Yeah that right there, child, That was
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: That's a whole other episode. That wasn't even breakdancing. But
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: the point I'm trying to make is you see these
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: people identifying with the worst of us, and we still
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: running culture. So it's like, all right, it got to
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: be a setup. It can't be that this is art
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: and this is cool. Again, sexy makes bops. If she
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: could rap in the verses and had him hooks, do
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: you not think she had the same the same outcome.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: She probably make more money, She probably had more endorsements.
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: But don't nobody. Nobody's telling her that, you know what
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. Lotto, great example, Glo Rilla, great example rap
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: Like to me, they the hardest out Megan great example,
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: can really rap god talent.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, do I think.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: That the ticket needs to stop just for two weeks?
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, we just need but other than that, but
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: other than that, but because guess what, look at what
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: they did the Glorrilla. They tried to make her vixen,
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: and it was like, nah, yeah, glow top all that's
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: what you want from her, You don't want, you know
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: what I mean, sexy glow at the bet Awards on
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: some lips archer.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: That's not her.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: That's sexy red though, and that's that's representation of the hood.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Let me also, can we also give them time to
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: evolve because she's still extremely new.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: No, just my whole thing is and I know I'm
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: at the guy of collegists trying to see what's going
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: on with a box. I'm in the car smoking weed
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: with the baby in the back seat. I'm pregnant and
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: I'm looking for a baby daddy. We can't keep celebrating
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: this shiit.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: No, I got you. I agree. But I do think
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: in the hood, growing up in the hook is just
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I did too. People do evolve and change as they
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: get Oh so I think we should give her some time.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Are giving her time? I don't think. I don't think
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: that's gonna last for her to continue to keep rapping
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: about the exact same thing. I think.
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: I do believe I think rapping. I think you're talking
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: about that exact I'm not.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: Ain't talking about what she rapping about because again she
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: has bops. I'm gonna give you time to grow. THEO
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: be crazy. No, the box is crazy. But listen, if
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: you're living a certain thing that people are emulating, it's
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: like it's like me to you if I told you know,
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: let's be one hundred percent, I've been with you through
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: all your relationships. I mean, well, I want you through
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: your whole relation right. If I were going to be
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: a dirty dick nigga telling you to be a dirty
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: dick nigga. Do you think you would have been a
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: dirty dick nigga seeing me be successful? No, but I've
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: been married twenty five years. How are you pattering your life?
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Am I lying?
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: So?
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: The exactly that shit matters?
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Got you?
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: What my thing is? This why we can't hold labels
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: accountable because they fuel.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: You don't listen to the Kenny burn Show. I do
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: not say all the time.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: Let me also say, she has an audience and they
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: are literally buying when she's selling.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: No, exactly the bop is going to make her relevant.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: When she stops in the vaults, It's going to be
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: somebody else that takes that spot. But that's not a
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: spot that should be filled.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: There's a spot that should be destroyed, should be destroyed.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: It has to be like that.
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you what's Happeningtnately, I love you, I'm
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: with you. But this is why Donald Trump exists.
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: We'll be right back with more of The Baller Alert Show.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Baller Nation is the lifestyle Specialists aka the Culture Man,
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: Kenny Burns and Stay Tuned, Sexy Read and Donald Trump
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: are two peas. Think about what I'm saying. Donald Trump
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: in a political sphere can say whatever he wants. I mean,
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: he is committing political suicide in any other generation, I.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Agree with that.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: And how many fellas he's been convicted of I believe
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: thirty seven.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: No, he's not on a convicted failing. But he's saying.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: He's saying the ship that white men have been spearheading
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: this entire time, but not saying out loud.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Do you want to blame it?
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: He said, you want a white president.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: That's what he says.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: She's a bit, that is what he said, like he's
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: saying things to get your head knocked off. So my
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: point is the reason I say that to peas in
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: the pot is because when you look at the dysfunctionalism
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: of the world, if the former president of the United
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: States is saying whatever he wants and it's he said
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: yesterday that Kamala Harris took away Christmas, it's almost like unbelievable.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: There are people that will believe that.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: They don't believe it, and they will act on it.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: That's my point.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: But he said that though he said he said, I'm
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: someone who can do whatever and say whatever, and people are.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: He said he could go shoot someone in broad daylight.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: This is two years prior to actually enacting it in
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: Congress with the Supreme Court. I'm well enacted with Supreme
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: Court that new thing they just passed. You could do
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to do to somebody and don't get
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: it twisted. If the president of the United States has
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: that autonomy, it's coming for the for the police next.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: They're already doing it.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: But my thing is like, what do you not see
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: the disruption of the world as we know it. The
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: point of sexy in equating them to each other is
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: because if you don't care about life, that, if you
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: don't care about yourself, how are you supposed to care
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: about life? And then if you don't care about life,
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: you don't care about your child's life, you don't care
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: about your surrounding, you don't care about your mom and
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: them were talking about people not having Social Security one
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: day and that type of energy gonna.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Get you through. Know you're a crash and burn.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: So it's just I don't think people think it'd be like, yeah,
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: let's say have fun.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm oh shit, And.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think people want to think anymore.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: I think I think people are so messed up, you know, financially,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: that people don't want.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: To think anymore.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: People would rather, you know, use music, or use going
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: to the club, or use drinking every day.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: I say use drugs because people that don't want to
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: feel they are addicted to something. There's not a person
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: that is sober that doesn't want to live a life
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: of prosperity and possibility. If you fucking don't care about life,
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: you just want to be high. You want to supplement
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: whatever is burning this side of you. And I feel
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: for those type people because lot of people can't get
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: out their own way. But the people that know better
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: got to do better. To your point, the label's got
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: to do better. You know, I'm saying to celebrate something
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: that's so destructive. When did you ever think you would
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: see women as misogicistic as men have always been?
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Have you did?
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: I mean think about that.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: I never thought it's been almost an evolution.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: And then the corny motherfuckers, see this is how the
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: whole shit fucked up. Kanye West and them are responsible
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: for all this shit because you have frustrated nerves that
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: became superstars that downplayed all things they were taught because
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: that first girl he had that delta, the way he
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: loved his mom and how he showed up a college
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: dropouts who we need right now. But he turned into
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: the sex slave, fucking demonic, fucking whatever because he never
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: had that. See, somebody got pussy in high school. Don't
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: do that. Somebody that was cool play sports, had friends.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: They don't do that. But these Elon musk, all these
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: motherfuckers crashing and burning, they created worlds. They created with
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: what's the guy from Facebook on him? He created a
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: world because a girl wouldn't talk to him.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: He created the world.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: And so look at what we're dealing with. We're dealing
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: with the world right that was created by people who
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: have no real intention to be loyal to other people,
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: show compassion, show grace. They want to control, they want
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: to have power. They don't want to exist. They want
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: to be better than And when you got one hundred
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: and ninety billion.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Dollars, you did it.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Got when you got warm Buffett money, They souced money.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Zuckerberg, you don't have to
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: deal with nobody. So what happens the pawns in the game.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: Elon must don't care about none of you motherfuckers. If
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: you own a Tesla, you should sell it. I'm gonna
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: tell you why you should sell it. I bought a
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: Tesla one hundred five thousand dollars. The motherfucker dropped the
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: price to eighty five thousand dollars. Not only was I
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: gonna get rid of the car because there was no
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: value in the motherfucker. They offered me twenty six thousand.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: Now just bought a g Wagon twenty six thousand dollars.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: They end up give me thirty because I had a
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: rhino paint job. But the cowell worthshit. And so if

• 54:43
  Speaker 3: The fucking truth curiated world by him, The truth that.

  Speaker 5: you know, he says, well, you don't like what we do.
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: He's like, no, you're dangerous. Basically, you're not telling the truth.
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: You choose ideology over truth. The fuckings the real. It
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: is trump by fake. It's a world where you can
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: lie and and it becomes the truth. This is a problem.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: That's because guys, why, no one's counter it's no countermeasures
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: no more. Back in the hood, when you grew up
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: and you lie, big homie is gonna smack this ship
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: out you or beat you up, and you can't lie
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: no more. And you can't lie no more because lying
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: was a fucking it was a sin.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: It was a sin, you know what I'm saying.
• 55:35
  Speaker 5: But people lie every day, become the versions of themselves
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: they want to be through social and digital channels every day.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: It's scary, you.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Know, and nobody cares because people still running around here

  Speaker 6: It's better than yours.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Over here. Like y'all really in the competition.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: But think, but think about who they supporting, what you
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: support when you buy that test of truth, It's not
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: just about the truth. It's about who are you supporting,
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: who this money.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: Going, And that matters. You're right, bt, it matters.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: It matters.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: It's like we always get black people always get all
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: this money. Soon we get all this money, we're gonna
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: give the money to the person that's suppressing your own
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: cons This is why.
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: Black people should realize that true superpower. We control the algorithm.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Nothing happens in culture without us because ignorantly we spend
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: the most ignorant. Yes, we dying to put it on ignorantly.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: We are continuously proving it right.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: And they laugh every time. They be laughing too.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, think about the think about if I'm Elon Musk, right,
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: and I'm supporting this particular man, and I bought this
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: platform to tell all y'all to shut up, and I
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: could tell I.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: Can literally forty four billion dollars to do it.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: I can make all I can make all y'all voices
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: not be heard anymore. And then I put out a
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: truck and then all the black people that's rich it's
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: gonna support me, but I'm gonna suppress all your people
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: that ain't got the money that you got.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: And you know what else.
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: And I want to say this because we are under
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: eighty day. I think one of day to days now
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: to this election. Black men, you really hating on KAMMONA Hers.
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: Black women, you really hating on Kamma Hers. Let's put
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: politics aside. Anybody who serves for the majority of their
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: life think about what I'm saying. Graduates from Howard University,
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: goes into law, becomes the attorney General, becomes a senator,
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: then the vice president of the United States, and now
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: is about to be president of the United States. You
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: don't see wonderment in that impossibility in now I'm talking
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: about as a black person. And I know the majority
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: of it is Russian bots in my comments, but anytime
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: I post it be detailed informations. I got to go
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: to these people page and they follow me, and I'm like, well,
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: I know you know how I get down.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: You follow me.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: And it's not a thing of like policy or things
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: that would have you not vote for somebody. It's personal.
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: It's personal. She don't she ain't black, Oh no, she
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: said she was in there. Oh no, no, she don't.
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: She don't fuck with black exam.
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: Even though she's a lawyer.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: She don't.
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: She don't got no law degree. Huh, well, are you
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: reading what you're typing? So this is where we thoughtful
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: human beings got to show up for other thoughtful human beings.
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck about Democratic Party, Republican Party, Independent.
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: I want humans in place that I can relate to.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: I want humans in place that have the right ideas
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: for my community. I want humans in place that's not
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: gonna give everything to the rich and wealthy. That if
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: you make one hundred and eighty nine billion dollars you
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: could give away eighty billion dollars and solve every problem
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: we have in the United States and not miss the money.
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: But yet you're giving them tax breaks. You could take
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: money and take the buildings downtown in Atlanta, Georgia that
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: are vacant, staff them, put every homeless person in that motherfucker,
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: every mental person, give aid to every flow, and it
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: wouldn't cost you to me dollars. I'm just saying certain
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: things can happen in life. But yet we talk. We're
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: talking about a black woman who's highly educated. That's worthy
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: of the position. And you know we're throwing darts, were
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: throwing we shooting bullets punintended, like.

  Speaker 1: mind saying, you know what it is. And one thing
