• 1:26
  Speaker 4: No, we don't, man, So I'm going to include you
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: in the conversation. The clip still didn't go viral. We
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: were talking just amongst each other, and I said, good
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: content never goes viral. We were talking about I did
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: a I looked at the camera and I said, shout
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: out to all the people in great relationships. Shout out
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: to the men and women who communicate effectively. I shout
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: out to all the co parents who communicate effectively. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I said, share this post like and guess what.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It didn't go nowhere.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: You want to know why because it's not triggering. It's
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: not going to trigger the person. It's boring it's simplest,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: it's good, it's healthy, it's healthy. They don't want to
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: hear or see that, my boy. They want to see conflict, yep.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: They want to see opposition, yep.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: They want to see why you don't go to the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: strip club?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Correct, And they want to make it seem like I'm wrong,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: for bro, Ain't nobody gonna convince me that, first of all,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you believe in God.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Of course you believe in God. Sure, yeah, okay.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Ain't nobody gonna convince me that God is pleased with
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: an industry where women get paid to take their clothes
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: off and get naked, and to where we've incentivize them
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll give you a job, but you got to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: get naked for this job.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So all the things that the Bible speaks against, like promiscurity,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: like lust, like trying to be as pure as possible.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So this goes against all of that stuff, right, But
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: this is supposed to be okay with us because we
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: say no, that's part of our culture. Man, Ain't nobody
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: gonna convince me that that's okay?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Let alone. This brother said it off camera. He said, man,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was in New Orleans loving the food.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The only thing is I was with the wife and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the kids, and when we walk down the strip, he
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: talked about Bourbon Street up man, I see people hitting
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the crack.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Pipe and all that. He didn't want his kids exposed
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So when you try to take this strip club culture
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that we know first of all is wrong, but second
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of all, it's for adults.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: If anything right, it's legal. But then when you try
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to take that and co brand.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That with an NBA game where kids are gonna be at,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I know that anybody in their right mind is like, hey,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you got to call a spade a spade. That's going
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a little too far, y'all trying to co brand this
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: with an NBA game to where seven year olds or
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: like Miami.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: What's Magic City? What are those hoodies saying? Can you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: explain Magic City to me?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: That's not the time and the place for that type
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff, and for me to speak out against it,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and people act like I'm doing something wrong to the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: point where they're making distracks, people making threats.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: People serious. You'll never make me feel wrong about speaking
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of fools right well, now, I.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Will definitely admit my ignorance to that. Until I watched
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: you in Banks interview, and I said, Okay, you got
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: a point, and that makes sense. And I said, yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: because me as an adult, I worked in that vicinity
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: for a very long time. It's not my preference to
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: go there now. And that's my personal preference that I
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: don't even go. I barely go because I'm married. Now.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: This is probably gonna clip up too, but I'm just saying,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: like I don't have the I don't want to you
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: you don't have the desire to go. I don't want
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to be there because I'm happy with the person I with,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: So I don't want to see anything.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This needs to go viral.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: It's not gonna go viral.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: This needs to go viral.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: I said that last time.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It's it's not gonna go because I'm.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Saying I'm happy with some of that with so I
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: don't want to be around that. I actually, this will
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: sound crazy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I went viral.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I actually did go viral about this, but it was
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: viral in the negative way. I said, I hang around
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a lot of my married friends. I don't really socialize
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: with a lot of myself with friends like I used to.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: We don't really have nothing in common. All the comments
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: were going crazy, Bro, they was killing me. Oh, so
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: you're trying to tell me you don't hang out with you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I hang out with my single friends,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: just not for a long time. Yeah, man, I'm gonna
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: hang out with my married friends. We got something in common.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: And I said, from what I see, and that's normal
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: to hang out with people that you have stuff in common.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Win because sometimes you all grow certain friends.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: BT was in my wedding, my boy Jay rocking. There
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: is in my wedding. They're not married. I don't hang
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: out with them all the time. That doesn't mean I
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: don't like you and I don't rock with you. Found
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: but if you get married, guess what, you're gonna be
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: at the house all the time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: That's just what it is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But that's just my preference, sir. If you don't like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: my preference, it's cool.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: People want to make you feel guilty for having it, but.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't feel guilty. And then my wife was in
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: the comments, and then it looked like she was kind
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: of like consumed what I was like, Babe, just don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: worry about it. But I just hate sometimes how the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: voice of the many that will say on it with
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the ignorance a lot of people don't accept their ignorance
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: because that word is a bad connotation. Yep, me personally,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I accept my ignorance because I want to become a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: better person every day that I wake up. That's me
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: personally as a person, that is my spirit as a person.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I want to be a better person every day. But
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I do know that my flaws are I curse really bad,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: and I'm working on that. I do things like go
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to therapy and I'm working like my wife is very spiritual, right,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: and we got a lot of personal things that we
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: work on as a relationship and as a marriage. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I still believe in and stand on what I say.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: But I ain't gonna lie. I as a DJ and
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: as a host, was in that culture, the strip clubs,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: And until I really sat down and watched you a
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Banks interview, I said, okay, d one as a point.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Wow, That's why I don't mind having these sit downs
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: with you all, because I understand that communication leads to unification.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: There's some people don't want to communicate for the sake
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of unifying. Nowadays, people are just looking for a conflict
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that you go conflict, So some people want to communicate
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: only to enhance the level of conflict that exists. And
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I have discernment that allows me to see that, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it's like, okay.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It triggers something in the brain. I think when you
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: are sparring with somebody in a negative way, because an
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: uplifting conversation doesn't do that to me. I mean, it
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: does the opposite to me. So a negative banter bothers me,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: a positive banter makes me feel great. It seems like
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: on social media the negative stuff is.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Well when the people on social media just ignorant. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: I learned that a long time. But they wouldn't say
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: that to you in person. They wouldn't even talk to
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: you in person social media would even talk to.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: A person that type what they type. Would not say
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that to you if they were right in front of you.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Most people wouldn't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: There's some people who would, because very small because they
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: are like, hey, I want to go viral. Some people
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: wake up on a daily basis and say I want
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to go viral because they feel as if going viral
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: will get them closer to feeling like they're doing something
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: positive with their life. Some people literally have no identity,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: they have no purpose that they're connected to. So all
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they look at is like, well, it seems as if
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: negativity and controversy goes viral online, So let me try
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to put myself in that mix. And then if I
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: go viral, maybe I'll feel different because on a daily basis,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I don't wake up and feel great about myself. So
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: for me, I hate that it comes across like oh,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: d one, you're calling out things. It's like, my goal
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: is to call in everyone, right, My goal is to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: call us in and to say, Ferrari, you are working
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in the strip club, DJing in the strip club.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Brother.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Think about it like this, the same convo I had
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with Bank. It's like, what if I would have just
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: had to have that one on one with you and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: if you would have been like ded? A light bulb
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: just went off in my head because of what we
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: talked about. Now I see your perspective and I understand it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe we do need to grow and evolve past what
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: became normal for us for so long. That is the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: difficult part is people don't want to grow. They just
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: want to be entertained by a show. And when you
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: think about what.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: That means people, right, yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So if people don't want to grow, but they
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: want to be entertained by a show. They lets you know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I may be wasting my time if I communicate with
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: certain people. Yeah, and so for me, part of this
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: is to try to identify, like where is the soil
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: at that's actually fertile, to where if I plant seeds
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: on this soil. If I have these type of conversations,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: me feeling like something edifying is gonna come from this,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the audience that's watching this feeling like dang, people might
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: actually sit back and say, hmm, because of what they
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: talked about, I'm gonna move differently moving forward. That's the goal, bro.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: This ain't about just going viral.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I'm already successful, by the grace of God. I'm already
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in a position where people say, you're trying to chase clout.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you about clout. They try to use
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the word clout because they feel like it has a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: negative connotation. So if somebody calls you a clout chaser,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, yeah, he's not doing this for the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: same reason everybody else is doing it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: We're all doing this for attention.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: If not, turn the cameras off, turn the microphones off,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: let's just talk as men. We're all on the Internet
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: recording ourselves, hitting upload on Instagram and on YouTube, clipping
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: stuff up for attention. But what are you seeking to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: do with that attention and what is the goal of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that attention that you're seeking? You feel me the goal
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of the attention that I'm seeking on a daily basis
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: from the fifteen albums I put out in my music career,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just drop My fifteenth one called The Shift. The goal
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of my music, the goal of my content online is
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to bring people closer to the Lord, to allow people
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to see we could do it our way or we
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: could do it God's way. And from the beginning of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: time it's been like, hey, we got our own flesh
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and our own temptations, and if we go down that road,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: we could be successful, we could make money, but we're
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: gonna miss out on the actual purpose that we were
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: created for. You can't accomplish your life's purpose without being
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: connected to your creator. So being successful ain't the end
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: goal for me. It's like, no, the devil could make
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you successful, But my goal is, let's connect with God.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Let's understand what version of us God would like to see,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and let's do our best to fight against temptation to
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: fight against our flaws and the ways that the world
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: wants us to go, and let's become the version of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: ourselves that God meant for us to be.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's my goal, bro.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So yes, I want attention around that type of message, absolutely,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But when people make it seem like, oh, you just
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: chasing clout, that's why you're calling this out.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: No, Bro, I didn't have to be a rapper.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Dog.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I graduated college. I was a successful middle school teacher
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: coaching basketball. I became a rapper because I'm like, man.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I do remember seeing the early versions. Yes, bro, you
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: being a teacher, Yes, Bro, I remember that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I was like, wait, our culture makes you feel wrong
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: for doing the right thing and makes you feel.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Right for doing the wrong thing. That ain't hip hop.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: That's hipocritical hop. That's the most backward stuff in the world.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, we need some voices that's gonna be
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: able to restore the dignity to this art farm that
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: we say we love so much and to the black community.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: How can you say you love black people but you're
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: champion the things that celebrate the genocide of black people,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: murdering ourselves, doing drugs, selling dope, disrespecting women, and we
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: champion these things. And you claim you love black people,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: you might as well call yourself an uncle town. You
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: might as well call yourself a white supremacist even though
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you got brown skin.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Straight up. That's how I feel though. And people act like, oh,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you're so controversial. How in the world is me saying
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this controversial? Brother? What we talking about?
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Because it's not many of you, That's why it sounds contrable.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: And what you have is what very few people have.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: You have the gift of galvanizing people. You can get
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: people to believe. Most people don't have that in them.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: What called me? What you want?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Bro? Just call me a man of God at the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: end of it. You just call me a man of God.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Because at the end of the day, Bro, I know
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: for a fact that I got to make a choice.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Do I want to be popular with the people or
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: do I want God to say I approve of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: life that you lived while you were.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Down there on earth. I don't know how long I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: got here, man, for sure. With that being said, it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: eight billion people in this world about to be ten
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years. That give me a headache to.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Think about how they impress all them. You feel me,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: They moved the gold post. This the definition of real.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: This the definition of successful. This is the definite.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Man. That's a headache to try to impress all of y'all, Sona, I'm.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Gonna please some of y'all along the way, but trust
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and believe that it's while I was more focused on
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: what to do to please God.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And it's just that simple.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And I think that's a life worthy of living, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: that's a path worthy of emulating for people.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You feel me.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Now, everybody's not gonna like a lot of things that
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: people say in general. What I do want to ask
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: you is, what's you and JD's issue?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You and Jermaine Dupree?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: What like?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: What borderline beef do y'all got? Man?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Tell JD high lambing man. My cell phone number is
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: sitting in his DM right now. I have nothing against
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that man.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I love JD.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: He's he's super talented. You know what I'm saying. Nice guy.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: He has an issue with me publicly speaking out and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: opposing things that he publicly promotes.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And he took it personal when he saw me do
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that for the first time. I see him doing it,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm giving you the answer. Right, this ain't meant
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to be no viral clip, So it's gonna be a
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: little long winded. He's doing a national press tour to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: promote the Magic City documentary that he played a role in.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: He executive produced it, or he played some prominent role
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in it. When I see this and I see one
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: of the interviews he did and he's bragging on he
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: spent ten thousand dollars in the strip club every week
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: for the last twenty years, you know what I mean.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I do the math on that, and I'm like, so you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Spent this many million in the strip club and you're
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: proud of that, you know what I'm saying. And I'm
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: seeing that, and I know how stuff goes bro when
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: it's coming from a legend and when it's being pushed
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: in a way that's like, that's cool. There are young,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: impressionable minds that think like that's the standard of what
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: being a real to look like.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, That's the standard of.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: What coolness and success really looks like. And I'm just like,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that's the problem is we set a standard that's based
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: on making money but having a low moral compass. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: that's what we call black excellence. That's what that's what
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: we content with in our community. Loan as you making money,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it don't matter what the moral compass is. It don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: matter which foolish messages you're promoting.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: We're content with that.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: So I spoke out against that, and I'm like, Yo,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: this is a shame because you know what, if you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: can push you publicly, I can oppose it publicly.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: That's all. He had a problem. He had He had
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a he had a problem with that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: As soon as I posted something publicly opposing what he
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: was pushing, jumped in my DM. Right, I'm taking y'all,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: giving y'all to play by play. He jumps in my DM, man,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I support your message. Da da da You know, like, oh,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you just coming to the same thing, making it seem
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like I'm just chasing cloud and all this type of stuff.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm explaining to him, brother, before I was one
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of y'all, Before I was a rap, a rapper, you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm a man of God.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I was a middle school teacher. I am here to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: make this world a better place.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I am using rap, I am using this industry and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: this platform to push out a message that I know
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: God will.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Be pleased with.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Do you really think God is pleased with this type
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: of behavior from us? I get left on scene right
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: at that point. Then it's like, yo, by the way,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: here's my cell phone number. High at me any time, bro,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Like for real. I get left on scene, and as
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: fate would have it, I'm talking to somebody about this convo.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: They was like, oh, jd oh, he gonna be at
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: this event that's going on tomorrow night. You know what
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, You want to go see him? I'm like, bet,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm not the dude that's pulling up on something. Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: let's go pull up on him and type of energy.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I don't have a bone of that in my body.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like yes, because then I could see the brother
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: and he could see like, oh, d One is moving
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: out of love. Man, d One don't have no malicious intentions.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So I went showed enough he's at the event. I
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: seeing we both standing on stage, I go dap him off.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I put my arm around him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I talked to him in his ear, you know, the
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: music was loud, just letting him know like it ain't
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: nothing malicious that I'm meaning when I say this stuff,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and it was cool, and it was cool after that,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it was cool until it wasn't cool.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Then it's like, here we go the Magic City stuff.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I speak my mind on the Magic City stuff, right,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I'm opposed to Magic City night at a Atlanta Hawk's gang,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I speak my mind on that. There's different people in
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the city. They know who they are who feel played
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: by my opinion on that, so they make distracks about me.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Dis tracks lead to making threads. They gonna kill me
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: with their Draco's and they gonna shoot me up and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: da da da crashing out over a strip club. You
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: hear me, And as this is happening, JD, you liking
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: these posts? Well, man talking about taking my life? Oh
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you liking that post?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Do you want it? Just a like you shouldn't take
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it serious. This man talking about killing me and you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: liking that post?
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: And you a legend.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And I know how important it is to me when
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: a Jada Kiss likes my post of me rapping, or
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: when many fresh or somebody likes my post. That feel
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: good to you as an artist, because that's a co
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: sign from a big dog.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I see that, I'm like, here you go again with
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: this old passive aggressive co signing some stuff that that
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: that that's implying negativity towards me. But in this instance
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it gets it gets extra serious. So I see that
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, I don't feel that, and so
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I speak out on that, and I guess he felt like, oh,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: here go d one calling me out again.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Brother, don't don't.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Don't be the person who initiates something. But then when
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I respond to what's been initiated, you sitting there like, WHOA,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I ain't do nothing. You know. I play basketball my
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: whole life, brother, I know what it is when I
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: elbow somebody and then when they come and push me back,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: and I look at the.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Ref like, Ralph, you saw that push. You saw that push?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: No, we saw that elbow first. The camera's gonna you
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So that's all that is, bro,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And it's just like left call the spade a spade.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't, brother, I don't have no problem with JD
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in real life.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: It's just that people have a problem with me being
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: in the same industry as them and having a different
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: viewpoint from them when it comes to what they're trying
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to push versus what I'm pushing. Sometimes those things are
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: gonna clash, and we can peacefully coexist with that. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: got songs with people who push messages that I am
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: opposed to. Oftentimes. That doesn't mean we can't work together,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: find I'm a ground. That doesn't mean that we can't
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: agree to disagree in certain instances. But it don't have
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to be this stuff to where all of a sudden
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: it's like I'm your, I'm your, your your app or
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: something like that. I seen him post something underneath Ray
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Daniel's post saying, tell his niggas keep my name out
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: of his mouth because I made a joke. Brother, I
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: made a joke. I said, yeah, we should shut all
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the strip clubs down. I'm serious about that, right. I
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: got a new song that's out today, Cause shoot.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Them shut the strip clubs down, all of them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: You want them to shut You want them to shut
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: all the slave quarters down, all the plantations, all of them.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: We can't just keep some of the safe slave plantations.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: That's how I feel.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: You had some slaves who after a while they mind
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: got walked to their where to where they was like.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I love being here. Massa love me, master, give me food, Master,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: give me a place to sleep.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So when somebody coming along like say, y'all, I'm telling you,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: it's more to life than being a slave, they might
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: be like, some ma of these women love being in here. Brother,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: let's go, let's for a million dollars cash up right
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: now and go to every first grade classroom in Atlanta
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and ask them, young ladies what they want to be
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: when they grow up.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: None of them a gonna say I want to be
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a stripper, none of them.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Eventually they get to a place where they're financially desperate
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: or to where their self confidence is low, and they
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: look around them and say, well, what are people being
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: celebrated for. Oh, this girl lit and it seemed like
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: they love her for her titties, for her body, year man,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and how good she could work. God just so happened
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to give me some breast and some booty. And I
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: know how to work too. Maybe that makes sense. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: they look like they make fast money because I see
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: documentaries come out about it, and I hear the rappers
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: praise these type of women. So when I see this
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: and when I know that this is what's going on,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: it's just like, Yeah, Bro, I feel like we should
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: shut them down. And on Ray DOWNI you'll show shout
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: out to Ray Downe's big shout out to Ray. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: made a joke and I said, man, let's shut all
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the strip clubs down because Jermaine dupri can give all
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the former strippers a job because he always bragged on
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: how much he's spend in the strip club. So just
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: spend that same money giving these strippers a job now
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to not have the strip that's all I said. That's lighthearted.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So I got mad. You never had Magic City Wings.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Here you go talk about you talk about you going
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to the strip club for the wings. How that sound?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: How that sound?
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: How that sound?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Bro?
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Ignorant? I mean I have done that?
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, hey yeah, hey why as black people?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: You're right, I don't see nobody in this room that's
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: not black, even behind that Curt look at him, talk
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: about the wings, the wings?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Say it right?
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: No he no, he with you?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: This is all I want to ask, why are we
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: so afraid to call out negativity in the black community.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: We're all afraid to call out negativity. Why.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I also think we're conditioned to not see certain things
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: as negative as negative? So, for example, the connotation in
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: my head for a strip club and the culture wasn't
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: negative for me, because you like.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Making money off of it, Yeah, and because you looked
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: at it as empower into the women.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't look at it as empowering. It looked like
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I looked at it as normal.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Normal.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: That was like a normal thing to do growing up.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: It's like being in the hood, Like you think the
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: hood is normal until you become an adult and you said.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Normal.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I grew up in South Florida, so very multicultural, until
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I came to Atlanta and saw black people that had money.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: I never saw that before growing up.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact, I met my wife and she lived
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: in a nice, all black neighborhood. Never saw that before
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: in my life. The first time I moved into an
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: all black neighborhood where everybody had money was when I
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: met her. We lived together, and it still bothered me
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: for a very long time because I kept saying, Wow,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: everybody in here is cool. Like the neighborhood I live
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: in now, we have a group chat and everyone's black.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: If a car comes down in the neighborhood, that don't
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: nobody know. And this is something that I grew up
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: thinking what is normal? So just to come back to
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: a strip club and making fast money. Growing up, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: saw that as normal, almost like growing up you think
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: the police are not your friends. It's almost the same
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: thing because we're the minority. Right when you leave Atlanta,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: New Orleans, DC, Jackson, Mississippi, the world is Houston, Wakanda, Bro.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact, we are not normal to a lot
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: of people when we leave these little areas where we're
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: affluent in. Again, I didn't grow up in Atlanta, but
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: my wife did, so she didn't. She didn't understand growing
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: up in Florida. Florida is very racist, bro, even right
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: now in twenty twenty six. And keep in mind, as
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: soon as you leave Atlanta, it's very racist.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: So in Georgia.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: In Georgia, yeah, towns you can't go to in Georgia.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: So and the crazy thing is, I don't want to
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: keep it too long because we got a gift for you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: But to answer your question, strip clubs the culture that's normal.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: That was normal to me until I watched you in
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Big Bank. I'm forty three. Wow, I'm forty three, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I thought everything was normal until you and Bank sat
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: down and I saw your perspective. But I'm ignorant enough
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: to admit that. You admit that, but yes, okay, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I also know most people got other things going on.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: That's the last thing in their mind because think about it,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: they can't even afford to go to the strip club
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: because you got to have the bank roll to get
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: in there. Because I know the culture because I've been
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: part of it. No person doesn't even go to the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: strip club.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's more so an industry thing.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: And a fantasy. So someone if it has to be
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: someone's if you see a normal person the strip clubs
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: their birthday, it's somebody themselfing that got a divorce, It's
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: somebody that got cheated on Nigga wan with their friends
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: that have a good time. It's some corporate guys that
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: was like, oh, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, I need to see
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: some big, boody black girls. Never seen that before. I'm white,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I've never seen that before. So if you're in Atlanta
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: and Houston, it's a little different. But that's what I'm saying.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It is so ingrained in our brains. It's normal. And
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: this clip ain't gonna go viral either, even though I
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: broke it down.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, perfectly.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because the truth doesn't go far. Yeah, the truth
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: doesn't go hard.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like I don't feel defeated by feeling like
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the truth can't go far.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's harder for the truth to go far.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Because you have to continue to consistently push it, like you.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Gotta or you gotta have the saxophone background. So maybe
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: that's what we'll do with this clip.
• 26:47
