  Speaker 1: what Real Sick does is he freestyle rap, but he
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: raped battles against other mcs out there around the world.

  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Bro? Thanks for having me on the show.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it of course, brother of course, and I will
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: start by saying this anytime anybody asks me about when
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the threshold will be crossed as to when South Asians
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: will be in the mainstream space and hip hop. I say,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? We already have somebody his
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: name is Real Sick. He's doing it at that level
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: on the mainstream space, at that highest level in his
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: discipline and hip hop. And here we have you on
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the air with us. What do you think about that?
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Beah? That's yeah, man, Like representation has always been super
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: important to me. That's why my name is even Real Sick.
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: Right, So like.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: A being out here in any kind of way to
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: where I can make anybody that relates to me in
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: any way, whether it's my attitude about hip hop, whether
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: it's the way I look, whether it's my religion, whatever
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: it is, if I could eat them any kind of pride,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, for seeing me in the
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: battle rap space, in the mainstream space, however you categorize it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: You know, that's my mission, you know what I mean.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: So it's super dope to hear that it's working.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a bunch of kids out there
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that are listening in today that are thinking themselves. Man,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: this is one cool cat. How did he get into this?
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, from the perspective of telling us the story,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: what is the story? How did this happen? How did
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you pick up a microphone and enter this battle cage
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of hip hop?
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's everything connects from the way I was
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: raised right into hip hop. So I'm funjob b, I'm sick.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: I was going and raised in Jersey and Punjabi culture
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: is sick. Culture is already very me musical, right, Punjabi
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: music is running the industry right now. Right, even in
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: sikki or kurdu grun sab or scripture is written in music. Right,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: you walk into any six temple, you're gonna hear music.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: The gurdle grun sab rhymes right. So music is already
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: in my dna, and I just needed a kind of
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: connection to it being born and raised in Jersey or
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: the Punjabi music at the time when I was like
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: eight years old didn't connect to me, right, Like dadubkado kid,
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: that's not going to hit a eight year old, right.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: But like, but when I first heard hip hop, it
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: was I heard shook ones by Mop Deep right. And
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: also at this time, you know, nine to eleven had
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: just happened. So if you looked anything like me, it
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: was lit for you, you know what I mean. So
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I'm already in a back against the wall kind of mentality,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: you know, even just growing up sick, the warrior, saint
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: soldier mentality was already there. And when I heard hip hop,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: it was the first time where words and lyrics became
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: visual to me. Right, I could envision when Prodigy said
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: lock you in your face, that your brain with your
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: nose bone, right, it was like a funny it's it's
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: you know, I could I visualize that, like, oh shit,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: you could do that my dad? Can I curse my
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: fat carry? Yeah? But but yeah, it was the first
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: time words like like connected directly to my brain and
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: that form of expression, just that that connection was made.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: And then also the bridge between sick key and hip
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: hop is not a hard bridge to draw. You know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: we have a lot of similar themes. If I was
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: to tell you which one I'm describing, and I talk
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: about giving a voice to the voiceless, fighting against depression,
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: be a saint and a soldier, all that stuff, it
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: sounds like I could be describing hip hop or sicky right.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Like it's a.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: It's a pretty easy bridge to draw right there too.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: So when that connection was made, I got, you know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: obsessed with hip hop and just learning. I was born
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: in ninety four. The time I'm talking about right now
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: is like two thousand and three. I was like eight
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: years old. I wrote my first rhyme. I got introduced
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: to LimeWire, right, So now I'm I'm researching, you know, musicologist,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: right yeah, yeah, yeah, So like I'm you know, I
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: heard Eminem and then I see Eminem give a speech
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: and he was naming all the mcs that inspired him,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: and he said jay Z and Nas and and then
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I go to a Nas album. Oh he got a
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: song with kolg Rap. Let me check out cool g Rap.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: And then and then Dad goes into Big Daddy Kane
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: and Pop and Biggie and Big L and Big Pun.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: And I did my hip hop history, you know what
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: I mean. I learned who Cool Herk was and Cedric Ave.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: I learned about ll cool J and Trench from Naughty
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: by Nature, Red Man, Message Man, everybody like I had
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: to do that, right so while and then it's also
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: like when I where I grew up, I was also
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: everybody I was around I also was given the idea
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: you know, basically you got to show respect to when
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: you walk through a hood, you got to show respect.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: So it's the same thing with with rap, right. And
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: then yeah, the art form and then the idea of
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: rappers back in the day, it was a lot different
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: than how people portrayed today. But a rapper was an
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: example of discipline, you know what I mean. Back in
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: the days, it was like like the vibe you got
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: when a rapper walked in the room was the same
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: as when like a usc fighter or a boxer walked
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: into the rap right, something to where it's like this person,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: whatever they do, you could tell they put in hours,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: they're dedicated to a craft.
• 33:48
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: And that's the idea of a rapper that I got
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: introduced to, right. And one of the things you had
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: the idea of a rapper was a Swiss army knife.
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: You could rap fast, wrap, slow, rap with punchlines, tell
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: a story, make a love song, make a club song, perform,
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and battling was just one of the things
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: you had to do if you were a rapper.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: You know, Tom went on, Yeah, exactly as time.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Went on, you know, people started separating the two, and
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: then you started getting people that were just battle rappers
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: or just studio rappers, right, or just freestylers. But you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: everybody before like two thousand and three did everything, you know,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and that idea of a rapper is what I got
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: introduced to it. And then battling, you know, just happened.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: It was just one of the things that I was like,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: I need to as I'm showing myself and you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: going places in Ciphering and Jersey, and people are finding
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: out I rap, and obviously I'm the only sick they've
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: ever seen rap, let alone, the only South Asian they've
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: ever seen rap. Right, So they were like, oh yeah,
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: the Indian kid, Yeah he raps, he raps. And then
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: now I have to be crazy, you know what I mean,
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Like they're the extra pressure there because there's no example
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: for the people around me at the time of somebody
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: that looks.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Like, let's talk about this this point right here. You're
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: in one of the most fiercest environments socially you can
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: find out there. Hey man, the battle rap environment. It's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: like all yes, you know, all bets are off, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and now you're in a position where you put yourself
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: there with an identity. It's clearly unique. Nobody looks like you,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Nobody has your background, nobody has the tattoos and the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: stories and the turbine and all that right to where
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that's drenched in our history. And for you to go
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: forward and actually have to represent I know that people
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: test that. They they ask you about it, They pushed,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they pushed the line a little bit on that. They
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: may even get offensive at certain times. My question to
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you is how do you handle that? And let's for
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: me when I see that every time you have addressed
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that moment, you've done it with such class and such
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: dignity for the culture and man. That must take so
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: much discipline for sure.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: But you know it comes with the territory, right If
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: you know, if if there's a white guy that tries
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: of taekwondo, he's going to stand out, right, he's in
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: a He's in something that people normally don't look like him,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: right are doing so hip hop is a black art form.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sick, so I'm.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Going to stick out. So it's part of the territory.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: If I'm battling somebody, you know it's going to come up.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: It's a Alison in the room again. Another reason I
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: put sick in my name, right, Like, when I was
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: growing up, nobody around me knew what.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: A sick was.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I was the only kid in my school with a
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: with a turbin on, right, So like it wasn't like
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: the other South Asians who maybe were able to assimilate,
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: you know, if they didn't, you know, weren't comfortable with
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: standing out or whatever the case may be. I'm standing
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: out amongst South Asians and amongst Americans, you know, so
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: I have to kind of accept you know, why try
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: to fit in if you're a standout, right, So, I know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: walking into hip hop the same way, it's kind of
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: it's just a prideful thing to where I'm like, look,
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to be anything I'm not. I'm not
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: putting on the front. This is me, this is who
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: I am. Do your worst, but I get to respond,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And it's also battle rap.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: There's a camaraderie there with competition. It's kind of like
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: you know sometimes when you get in a fight with
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: your friends, you got you become closer after that, right,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: So it's kind of the same way. You'll you'll have yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: you'll have you'll have these you know, UFC fighters will
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: beat the crap out of each other and then you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: shake hands.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: So that's what I get that, Yeah, and to be
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and to be honest.
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: The best part. Another another thing that I see working,
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: which is letting me know, you know, spreading, spreading uh
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: news about my identity is working. Is after the battle,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: my opponent will always be like, you know, beautiful religion. Man,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: I didn't know about it, you know what I mean?
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: And now like, uh, for example, I had a battle
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: in Canada and uh what they came out shout out
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: to Yeah everybody, Yeah, and everybody calls me sick in
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: battle Rap, right, just sick. They're like, yo, what's up? Sick?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: And everybody that's walking by me, Yo, sick? What up? Sick?
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: What up? He's like, Yo. It's so dope to see
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: people just stay sick. The word sick is in the
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: ether now, you know what I mean. Growing up, it
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: wasn't that common. So just to see that, it's like
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: and now somebody that's a fan of battle Rap, if
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: they come across another sick, they'll be like, oh are
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: you are you sick?
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: I know, because a battle Rapp where I watch, et cetera,
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: et cetera. You know what I mean. So it had
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: its pro it's more more pros than cons. The cons
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: are obviously people you know, diverting things that might be
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: in the religious text or trying to use it against
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: you or disrespecting it or whatever. But people never really
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: go super you know, crazy like that. And then again, you,
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: like you said, I get a chance to respond, so
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: you know, I get.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: To defend it in the right way too, Yes, sir,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you do. I man, I have a lot of respect
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: for you, I really do, because of how you handle
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: yourself and how you do that and for you to
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: be out there and let's just call it kind of
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: like the culture you know, out there and representing our
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: culture and doing it in the way that you do. Man,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: it's super commendable. And I wanted to give you a
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: big shout out on the air about that.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of love and respect from us
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: for what you do out there in the culture. And
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: so thank you, thank you, man, Thank you. I appreciate Listen, brother,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: before I let you go here, and as you guys know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to real sick here. One last question. You know,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: one thing that people forget about you is, after all,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: you are a recording artist. And yeah, the battleground of
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: being in the world of battle rhyme is one thing,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, as a recording artist,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that the true heart of what you're doing out there
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and the work that you're doing going forward is something
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that you are really putting a lot of passion into.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Tell us about this last album that you put out
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: back in late twenty and twenty five, and what are
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the plans they're going forward. Yeah.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: So, like I said, you know, when I got introduced
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: the idea of a rapper, of somebody that did everything right.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: So I've always made music. Battle rap is just the
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: first thing that really really popped off for me. It
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: gave me a lot of notoriety. But music has always
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: been a passion of mind. I've always been making music.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: Music is in my DNA, right. So I finally started
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: releasing more music last year. I dropped the album. It's
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: more of an EP kind of, but it's just a project.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: I guess you call it. I don't know the terms
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: I but uh, it's called Six Thoughts. It's a good
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: eight songs, a lot of versatility, on there basically since
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: people know me from battle rap. I know my fan
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: base likes watching transition with them and show them and
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: that or see how many people like listening to me rap. Right,
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: it's a different it's a different thing that you have
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: to maneuver when it comes from battle rapping and making music.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: And then so I'm kind of just right now the
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: stage of my career that I am with music is
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: kind of just showing versatility, showing songwriting skills, showing I
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: could do both right basically, and kind of also bringing
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: some of that battle rap energy into song format in
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: a way to where it meshes and it's a it's
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: a perfect connection rather than you know, a lot of
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: battle rappers will mess up because they'll try to battle
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: on a song and it.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Doesn't work, you know what I mean, different balgains.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, music is what feelings sound like, right, So it's
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: kind of like that's what that's what my goal with
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: music is. And you know, I've been quietly working on
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff that around mid June to late June,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going to start releasing a lot. Music is kind
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: of the next focus for me because I've battled everybody,
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: you know, luckily that I've wanted to battle all my favorites,
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: you know, Disaster, Arsenal, Charlie, Clips from Nitty Tayrok, you
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: name that. I've battled everybody the greatest in battle Rap.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Think I'm one of the best.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: And that's that's I agree, you know.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: And because that part is accomplished, now I want to
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: go to you know, the goal is that if you're
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: naming the top ten and my name is in there,
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: it doesn't sound crazy. And I am blessed enough to
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: where that got into battle Rap to where people can
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: name their favorites and if my name is there, people
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: will be like, yeah, he's Stipe. Now the goal is
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: when people say, yeah, Tupac, Biggy, Eminem, Jay z Real,
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: Sick Nas, whatever, and it sounds like it makes sense,
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. That's the that's the next goal.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: And you know, being a rapper, being an MC the
• 43:11

• 44:06
  Speaker 5: me and him. Were always trying to get some work

  Speaker 5: in and we finally came across a beat with this
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: as a sample, a rung it but empty sample in it.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: And it was also, you know, me putting this on
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: my project with the fan base that I have is
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: kind of like I'm introducing them to you know, the
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: culture and stuff. So this was kind of okay. This
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: inspired me to kind of write the attitude of being
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: as sick growing up where I grew up right back
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: against the wall mentality, that kind of stuff, and also
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: trying to evoke that kind of the warrior saint soldier
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: attitude that I have as a sick that we're all
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: brought up as right so, but doing it in a
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: hip hop way, right. So that's kind of the idea
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: of what this song is again shout out the Big
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Bird and it's a dope, you know, storytelling kind of record,
• 44:58

  Speaker 3: meaning that we had to strike reason being we is
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: a people dream to be at the fight bleeding for

  Speaker 3: believing if freedom no traumatic sight, every sacrifices a bragging
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: right in the after life.

• 57:23
  Speaker 1: conversation with real sick today and I wanted to give
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: you my closing remarks on my thoughts of the conversation today.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you something started a hip hop
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: group in the late nineties called Karmacy. You guys probably
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: know this, And I'll tell you what we never did.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: We never stepped into a battle rap cipher, not because
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: we couldn't write, because we knew that what would happen
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: the second we walked in. The whole point of battle
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: rap is to find the thing about you that you're carrying,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: your identity, your family, your culture, your difference, and take
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: it apart in front of a crowd that came specifically
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: to watch you get taken apart for it. That was
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: the room, and the room hasn't gotten any softer in
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: the last twenty years, twenty five years since I was there.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: It's gotten harsher. The Internet, the cameras, the leagues, the audiences,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: the vote, it's all more brutal now than it ever
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: was then. And into that room walks real Sick, wearing
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: a turban, with his faith on his chest, with no
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: part of himself sanded down to make the moment easier
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: on him. And what does he do? He wins the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: respect of that room. He turns the thing that they
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: thought would be a disadvantage into the thing that nobody
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: could take from him. He actually gives every young South
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Asian kid who was ever made to feel less than
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: for who they are a blueprint they didn't have before.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: He takes the part of himself somebody else wanted to
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: mock and turns it into the part somebody else has
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: to honor. That isn't a rapper, that's a hero. Real
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Sick is a modern day superhero and his cape isn't
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: about rap. His cape is about identity. We owe him flowers,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: our community does all of us. He took our battle
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: face first by himself in the harshest arena of this
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: society puts in front of any artist an he won.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Kudos to him, respect to him today on this show,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: the man himself sat down with me and I enjoyed it.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Great conversation. Tonight, go listen to his work, Go watch
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: some of his videos, and tell a kid in your
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: life what he just showed them was possible. See tomorrow,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: everybody
