1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,940 Yo, I like to welcome everybody back to a brand new episode of the Cognitive Collage 2 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:09,940 podcast. 3 00:00:09,940 --> 00:00:12,240 I am your host, Quentin Golden. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,240 My friends and family, they call me QG for short. 5 00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:21,960 And if you feel like that's what we are, you can call me that as well. 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,740 Man these past few weeks, or at least the past weeks, been crazy as shit. 7 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:33,840 So Drake is suing Kendrick for defamation over the Not Like Us song where he calls him 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,840 pedophile. 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,560 But it's really not so much a lawsuit, not chat at least. 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,440 It's a petition that has to be signed or get enough signatures to become a lawsuit. 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,920 He's also suing UMG, which is Universal Music Group, who he signed to. 12 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,200 Who Kendrick is also signed to as well. 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,560 And I think the suit is saying that UMG did behind the scenes, unfair practices to make 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,040 Not Like Us more popular than it actually was. 15 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,040 Bullshit. 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:18,640 Yo, I've heard this song played during a World Series for NBA games, NFL games, HBCUs. 17 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,160 There's hundreds of videos of fucking toddlers dancing to it, which they probably shouldn't 18 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,600 be listening to it, but no, it's organic. 19 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,720 It's a hit. 20 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,840 Like to be so, I don't even know if I want to call it arrogance, but I mean, it's nothing 21 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,720 really, it's a class aside ass. 22 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,920 I think that no way somebody could like something that goes against me. 23 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,640 But I didn't hear none of this shit, or wanting to look into the books and all this other 24 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,040 shit when he was doing all that shit with me. 25 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,040 No disclosure. 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,880 I'm not a Drake fan, but I'm not a Drake hater either. 27 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,880 I feel indifferent about him. 28 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,040 Like his music never really been to me. 29 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:11,080 I mean, I mean, it's cool, but you know, I don't happen to come like throwing some 30 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,200 Drake, but at the same time, like, damn, I can't even say I'm an old hit man. 31 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,280 This nigga's around the same age. 32 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,760 Like he's my generation. 33 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Like, yeah, no. 34 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,960 He just, I don't know, I get the appeal of him because I guess he used to make like vulnerable 35 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,080 music, which made him seem relatable. 36 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,720 It's shit that most, you know, rappers wasn't talking about because a lot of the times rap, 37 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:48,120 at least from a male perspective is really based in machismo, like bravado, tough guy 38 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,120 type of shit. 39 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,960 And he showed like another side so I could see the appeal and bitches like, so I get 40 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,520 it. 41 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:03,080 But then he got to the point where I can't say he got out of touch with reality because 42 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840 I mean, his surroundings became his reality. 43 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Like when you get treated, you know, in high regards, it's what you become accustomed to. 44 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,800 So he's been so used to running shit, I guess. 45 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,440 He oversaturated the market. 46 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,760 Like that's another really big misconception with Drake that I always hear about all these 47 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,160 people we help, respectively. 48 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,240 And again, this ain't about to be like, no fucking shit on Drake shit. 49 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,160 I just want to get the shit out the way. 50 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,600 You get with a person who already has an organic hit without you. 51 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,600 You can recognize as a hit. 52 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600 You do the remix. 53 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,080 So you say we should do a song together. 54 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,440 You take 100% of the publishing foot of song and you try to tell them, well, this is for 55 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,440 the look. 56 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,840 The song comes out against popular, utilize their style. 57 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,840 It was a song fades. 58 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 They reached back out. 59 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 I guess try to get a second song going and you just keep pushing. 60 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,360 But only niggas you haven't done that with was 21 Savage in like future. 61 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,280 But JB Blockboy, the Tutsi slide, all that shit. 62 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440 I watched the interviews where he's like, he reached out and he pretty much like changed 63 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,520 your number type of shit. 64 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Like, come on, okay. 65 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:26,400 But anyways, yeah, so he's attempting to get a lawsuit going. 66 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760 And I guess he's trying to take this stand like I'm doing this for all of us. 67 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,280 I'll make the sacrifice. 68 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,240 No, no, no, no. 69 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,680 This is going to do more harm than good for him. 70 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,720 It's going to show that all these number one hits and all that shit wasn't organic. 71 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,720 It was the machine. 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,880 But that that apart, that's applicable to any big major artists. 73 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 But it's the game. 74 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,680 It's the system. 75 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,480 But now when he felt like he got his ass kicked. 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,480 Now it's I'm exposure. 77 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Let's fuck out here. 78 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640 And more hip hop news. 79 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,520 I hate doing salacious shit. 80 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,120 Like, I don't know. 81 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,120 I hate having these type of conversations, but fuck it. 82 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,120 So when the D.C. 83 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,040 It was going on, I didn't really speak on it too much. 84 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080 Like, you know, people laughed and made that joke. 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:25,840 And some of the jokes was funny and someone was like, yeah, man, but I mean, I get it. 86 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,320 But if the things they alleged was true, it's victims out here. 87 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,880 Nobody's checking on them. 88 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,880 But the D.C. 89 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120 It was more so he was like drugging niggas at the party. 90 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,840 He was putting like, I don't know, like, actually, or whatever the equivalent to that 91 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,120 type of shit is. 92 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,440 And so like the baby or whatever the fuck. 93 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,880 It just come to light allegedly. 94 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960 That back in 2000, Jay Z. 95 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,120 As opposed to rape the 13 year old or some shit like that. 96 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,120 At least that's what this like lawyer, this lawyer is a legend. 97 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,240 So he's trying to like take Jay Z to court for like civil shit. 98 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:17,760 So and for those who don't know the difference between, you know, a civil suit and a criminal 99 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:27,200 like charge civil suit is not looking for is looking for monetary monetary compensation. 100 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,840 It's not looking to send nobody to jail. 101 00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,640 They want to get paid. 102 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,640 Criminal shit is, you know, we file these charges been filed against you. 103 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,800 You're going to do some level of jail time or there'll be some like there'll be some 104 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,000 kind of punishment for whatever your actions might have been. 105 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000 So Jay Z. 106 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,880 Has recently put out a statement and he countered it. 107 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,440 He goes, look, I've never done no bullshit like that. 108 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,440 And this isn't verbatim. 109 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,360 I'm pretty much like some horizon. 110 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:04,800 He was like, I'm I've never done any bullshit in that type of capacity ever. 111 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,360 So I'm not like these other celebrities, which is a direct quote and kind of a slighted 112 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,960 ditty, but I don't give a fuck. 113 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,960 You know what? 114 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,400 And he goes, uh, you know, if I did all these heinous things, why not try to take me to court 115 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,400 for trial? 116 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,000 Why not try to get me locked up? 117 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Because if I did these things, I deserve to be in jail. 118 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,280 So he's like, I'm going to fight this shit too. 119 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,960 For now, he said if the charges wasn't as serious as they are, this shit would actually 120 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360 be laughable to me. 121 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,880 So you know, it's in the early stages and we're going to see how it all plays out. 122 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,520 But I mean, Jay seemed confident and not to compare him to Diddy, but shit. 123 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Diddy seemed confident too. 124 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,360 So but diddy, she was more about the Cassie Cassie, like being our ass type of shit that 125 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,360 he was confident about. 126 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,400 I don't think he thought that party shit was going like leak out. 127 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,600 I don't get it. 128 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,600 I don't. 129 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,600 I don't understand any of it. 130 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,600 I don't get it. 131 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:09,280 First of all, those actions are redeemable, disgusting, fucking trash, regardless of who 132 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,280 do it. 133 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,520 My stance is my stance. 134 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,880 But oh, not even but I want to say that like I got a counter intention. 135 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:28,840 Like I'm trying to know what I can understand is you work so hard to attain a level of success, 136 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,480 a substantial level of success. 137 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,640 And this is what you do allegedly. 138 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,520 And this isn't like just, you know, towards rappers or entertainments of the black community. 139 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Like, I mean, I want to encompass this shit as a whole. 140 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,960 I'm talking like he's fucking white movie directors, these Jewish directors, these fucking 141 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,160 lawyers, judges, fucking political figures. 142 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Like, bro. 143 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,720 Why? 144 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,840 Life is short as it is. 145 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,320 And you niggas reached the point. 146 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,400 Monetarily, financially, you know what I mean? 147 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:17,280 Where the average person, the average person concern is having enough to pay your bills, 148 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,400 take care of your family, feed yourself. 149 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,640 And then if you're lucky, if you're lucky, you're a little bit of leisure type of shit 150 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:31,560 like vacations, you know, build your dream man cave or she shed or whatever the fuck 151 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:37,480 it is that you went to buy your dream car, whatever, a few of that luck. 152 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:45,360 These motherfuckers got enough money to fucking fund a small town like easily. 153 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,840 I'm talking hundreds of millions, billions in some cases. 154 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480 And this is what niggas do. 155 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920 I'm not a legend. 156 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,120 I don't get it. 157 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,080 And I'm speaking from the blue collar, nine to five worker perspective type of shit. 158 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Bro, if I was to hit the lottery. 159 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,360 I'm not doing no fucking weirdo extravagant shit or just

00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,760 I'm not doing none of that shit. 163 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,120 I'm gonna get me a nice house built from the ground up to all my specs. 164 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,840 And I want no mega mansion because the maintenance on that show alone is fucking astronomical. 165 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Maybe five bedroom, six bedrooms, maybe five bathrooms, about, I don't know, 5000 square 166 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,600 feet, which seems big, but like I want to finish basement. 167 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,200 I want to hurry down there where I can like watch my horror movies in peace. 168 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600 I want to set up a fucking industry level recording studio. 169 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,160 You know what I mean? 170

whoever's in my language. 179 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,160 Cause I don't currently have kids, but if I was to have kids, even if I don't, my nieces 180 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,000 nephews, whatever

That would be my goal with that level of money. 183 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,640 I'm not talking about some little fancy sneakers and shit, not designer shit. 184 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,520 I hate

fuck sells them. 204 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:39,680 That's another thing too. 205 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:45,120 I know I'm all over the place, but so I'm a person who does collect sneakers and I can 206 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,040 say this shit and it's 100% true. 207 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240 I'm not putting any sauce on it. 208 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360 I have 200 plus things. 209

I might catch some shit on clearance or I'll build a relationship with like, you know, 212 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,440 certain stores that I go to and they go, hey, though, such such come out next week, but 213 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,440 we're going to do a raffle for it. 214 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,840 So I go, yo, I'm a slouch of this 20 right now. 215 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,840 Make sure my tick report. 216 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,960 You know what I mean? 217 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,960 Allegedly. 218 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,960 And, you know, I get what I want. 219 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,680 At least, yeah, I get what I want, but I don't chase trends on it. 220 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,680 I have a shit. 221 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:31,840 But like these like, uh, indie sneakers shops or like boutiques, whatever the fuck you want 222 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,840 to call them. 223 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,840 Yo, they'll have a sneaker. 224 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,840 All right. 225 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,000 We fight even get into that. 226 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000 I'm clear. 227 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,440 Let's be clear that I'm clear. 228 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:47,480 The value of anything is the value that you personally place upon. 229 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,280 No matter what these sneakers are realistically that being made over in like Indonesia, whatever 230 00:13:52,280 --> 00:14:02,960 they're being manufactured at, they're, they're using about $10, $15 worth of material, maybe, 231 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,640 maybe 30 if I'm on the, on the extreme side. 232 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,880 And then they'll come in selling for 230, 260, 280. 233 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,160 And if you're unfortunate enough to get whatever limited amount that they supply to the stores, 234 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:24,640 which is by design, because it creates demand, the second, the second hand stores, you know, 235 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,760 uh, commission, sneakers shops, boutiques, whatever, they'll take that same sneaker that 236 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,440 was 220. 237 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,520 And because they know it's brand is hard to get, they'll charge you five and I don't 238 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,440 know. 239 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160 We be so thirsty for like validation type of shit. 240 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,920 So we'll, we'll pay that 500. 241 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,160 That's a fucking car payment. 242 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,360 That's a BG and E, which is Baltimore gas and electric for those who's not for Baltimore. 243 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:58,680 That's a BG and E bill plus your cable bill plus maybe your cell phone bill. 244 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:04,080 I mean, on a pair of shoes that most of these motherfuckers won't even wear. 245 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,120 They'll just display to be able to say they have. 246 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,360 It makes no sense. 247 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,120 And I was that guy for a while, where I would buy shit and not touch it. 248 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,480 But no, like as a lately, like, you're out there wearing all my sneakers. 249 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Like, I don't give a fuck how fancy it is, how ready I am. 250 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,240 I should. 251 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,720 So the sneaker marketplace is fucked up. 252 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,640 Jay Z done some bullshit potentially. 253 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,120 Rick is like a bitch because he lost the battle. 254 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:36,080 Like a bunch of bullshit and a real shit that's really going on. 255 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Like there's this guy. 256 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,320 Well, they say they have a suspect now. 257 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,160 He's like, I think in his early twenties and mid twenties or some shit. 258 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:52,160 He recently killed the CEO of like, I want to say it was like United Health Kid. 259 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,200 I'm probably should do more fact checking besides just jump on a fucking mic. 260 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760 I just use the style of this shit I don't care. 261 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,760 Check yourself. 262 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:06,640 But he did it at 6 a.m. in the morning and upper Manhattan. 263 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,520 Like I want to say like, maybe like, 50, 50, 60 streets, 50, 60 streets. 264 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,520 It closed the Times Square. 265 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,720 It's where people congregate. 266 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,320 And granted it was 6 in the morning. 267 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560 But the dude is like walking down the street and this is Valence Cameron. 268 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:24,520 This guy comes from behind the car, shoots him in his back three times, kills him. 269 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:31,480 And then from what I briefly read, the guy who did it knew he would be caught. 270 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,240 So he supposedly have a manifesto that's going to be released to the public at some point 271 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,640 first to read. 272 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,160 And they said the three bullets that he shot him with, they were words engraved on the 273 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,680 cases. 274 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,360 And I don't remember the words. 275 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,720 I'm kind of terrible at this shit. 276 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,880 I should probably research it more. 277 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,880 But fuck it. 278 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,880 I don't care. 279 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,600 Like I said, research stuff. 280 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,800 I had to see who was killed, his name was Brian Thompson. 281 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,120 And you know, I don't know anything about him. 282 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,600 Personally, I didn't know he existed until he died. 283 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,120 The irony. 284 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480 But like, I don't know. 285 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,680 I've been seeing a lot of people like make jokes about him being killed. 286 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,120 Like society is so wish you all she would that shit. 287 00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,480 But they go, yo, yo, you can't joke about the dead. 288 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,840 You can't speak on the dead. 289 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,840 But that's not true. 290 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,240 Mother fuckers do it all the time. 291 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,760 It's who socially acceptable to speak on or not speak on. 292 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,760 You know what I mean? 293 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,360 Because if I made a joke about, I don't know, Whitney Houston passing away or some shit 294 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,240 like that, which I wouldn't. 295 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,400 But if I did, hey, man, you can't say that about Whitney Houston. 296 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,400 Man, she's dead, man. 297 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,400 You can't speak on the dead like that. 298 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,920 All right, say it play. 299 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,040 But then if I turn around and talk shit about Hitler, like, yeah, man, that nigga deserve 300 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,040 to die. 301 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,040 Are you right? 302 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Yeah, I pick and choose. 303 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,520 It's either all bad or it's all good. 304 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,720 Oh, no. 305 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,720 Okay. 306 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,720 There's duality with everything. 307 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,200 You know what I mean? 308 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,840 If you ain't going to speak about, if you want to speak on the dead, you should be able 309 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,360 to do positive and negative because you need both. 310 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,040 Oh, you should have the ability to do both. 311 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,480 But society and society that you can't. 312 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:24,440 But like I said, they've been the rules for those they like, for shit they do to be acceptable. 313 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,040 And then, you know, man, I'm about to get into some more other shit. 314 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:37,920 But yeah, so I'm just watching people like make jokes about this doodle died. 315 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,600 Are they joking because he was rich and feel he deserved it or because they feel the United 316 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,880 States health care is so fucked up and that he somehow played a role in it being fucked 317 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,880 up. 318 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,880 You know, he could just be a figurehead. 319 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,880 You know what I mean? 320 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,880 Like he might not even embody all that shit. 321 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,200 Like that's another thing too that I think people don't really understand, especially 322 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:02,880 when it comes to like from a political in a political realm or in a corporate like sense. 323 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,400 It's rare that you have one person at the top who makes all the decisions. 324 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,400 It's usually like, you know, boards. 325 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,400 You know what I mean? 326 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,320 You go to boardroom as members of the board. 327 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,320 There's a collective vote. 328 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,160 But I think that typically happens if you allow your company to go public where like 329 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,000 other people can like have like vested entrance type of shit. 330 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,080 But if you're private, like like Mark Cuban, I mean, he owns he owns a lot of shit, but 331 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:39,840 he's most known for owning the Dallas Marics and being one of the founders of the CBCO 332 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Shark Tank. 333 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,120 But as far as the Dallas Marics go, I guess we'll be in the same vein of the Dallas Cowboys 334 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:51,040 with Jerry Jones, where you can just fucking, you know, you make all the rules, you have 335 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,400 all final say because you own it. 336 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,800 But if it's something like UnitedHealthcare, I'm sure he wasn't the guy. 337 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,440 And I could be wrong, but I would assume he wasn't the guy that stopped going, hey, make 338 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960 all prescriptions more expensive than normal. 339 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040 Hey, don't. 340 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:15,640 It maybe was, but maybe I should do more research, but I don't believe that to be the case. 341 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,640 And I don't know. 342 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,600 Some people like the laugh at his death is like crazy. 343 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,880 But then on the flip side, if it's a favorite musician or some kind of like public figure 344 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:34,280 to everybody, like have an affinity for and then like, all right, I want to say it's a 345 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,920 money go three months ago, it was like one of the singers from the group one direction. 346 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,800 Like, I don't know, he like killed the cells. 347 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,120 He shut off a balcony on vacation and killed the self. 348 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:50,120 But then later came out that I think he was like under the influence of some kind of like 349 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:51,120 control substance. 350 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,120 Like it could have been prescriptions. 351 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,600 It could have been straight up coke and meth. 352 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,200 So I don't know. 353 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,640 But you know, I would say people make jokes about that. 354 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,040 And he was like, Hey, hey, man, don't say that. 355 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,480 He was a bright young star. 356 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,480 Lost his life. 357 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,720 Which is probably true. 358 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,880 I don't know about one direction like that. 359 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,040 I mean, I know of that existence, but I never listen to one direction. 360 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,840 Maybe if I was like in Target or some shit, names like plans or shit, I ain't know it 361 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:23,440 was them, but I don't have one direction in my fucking Serato or my fucking Spotify 362 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,680 I've seen that shit. 363 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,840 But I saw people try to make a joke about them or about that guy from one directional 364 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,840 dot. 365 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,840 He said, Hey, he fell. 366 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,840 Guess which direction? 367 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,840 That's not funny. 368 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,840 That's funny. 369 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:43,800 But then the CEO who has like kids and a family and all his other shit, like their family 370 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:48,000 got to see the public like pretty much celebrating his nigga death. 371 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,280 And I'm pretty sure most motherfuckers didn't know who he was until he died. 372 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:58,720 Unless you worked in that like field or use some kind of like insurance like, you know, 373 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,440 employer, some shit, I don't know. 374 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,440 I don't know. 375 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,520 I think I hate the fucking false sense of morality that everybody has. 376 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520 It'd be bullshit. 377 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,520 You know what I mean? 378 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Like, awesome real shit for the most part. 379 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,240 It's all man for that. 380 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,480 So far, when I say that, I can mean all man for that self. 381 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,680 I mean, like group factions type of shit. 382 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,680 Like, I can't speak on other races and I'm never going to speak down on mine. 383 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,440 But you know, I'm going to just say this to us black people shit. 384 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Like we stick together when it's convenient. 385 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840 Not what we supposed to. 386 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,840 Like even when like shit happened and we ride and all that type of shit. 387 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,040 I've never understood the mindset of, yo, we going to tear out shit up. 388 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,040 Why? 389 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,760 The insurance companies ain't going to give niggas no payouts. 390 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,680 But I guess on the flip side, they go, man, most of these areas on black on, which is 391 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,640 an issue within itself. 392 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,480 But in the meantime, in between time, it's the niggas can change that. 393 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,640 That CVS, whatever convenience store you just burnt down. 394 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,840 What about the elderly people who live in that community who don't have a ride? 395 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:17,000 Who don't have a car, don't have a grandchild, a niece and nephew, a living child, who can 396 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,160 come take them to the store. 397 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,440 You just fucked them over. 398 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840 And why the motherfucker's with the power and the money. 399 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Them niggas stand back from a distance, watch us burn our shit down, shrug their shoulders 400 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:35,240 and then go to that safe communities and do all that shopping and sleep peacefully. 401 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,040 And I'm not advocating this ain't no fucking dog whistle. 402 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:45,240 This ain't no call to arms, but if it's some shit worth riding over, yo, go fuck up the 403 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,640 shit where they spend money. 404 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,360 One, it'll let them niggas know. 405 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,200 Yeah, this shit can happen to y'all too. 406 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,040 And two, make the government come out of pocket and repair that shit. 407 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,960 And if they spend enough money, they'll probably go, all right, we got to do some shit. 408 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,320 Like, we got to at least listen to that grievances. 409 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,840 But if you burn down a corner store, set some cars on fire where you live at, them niggas 410 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,680 don't give a fucking on the sector. 411 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,680 You got to think. 412 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:20,160 If we down, if we in West Baltimore and shit, we in Sandtown, we in Park Heights, we in Emerson 413 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,800 Village or East Baltimore, you on Greenmount, you up the hill, wherever the fuck you at. 414 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,280 You burn that shit up. 415 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240 And you think the niggas in Towson give a fuck? 416 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,480 You think the niggas in the Rundle Mills give a fuck? 417 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,480 Hell no. 418 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,000 The niggas in Columbia don't give a fuck. 419 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000 It don't affect them. 420 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000 It affect us. 421 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000 So I don't know. 422 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Like I said, like we stick together when it's convenient, not when it's necessary. 423 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,480 And also real shit we all we got. 424 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,240 You know what I mean? 425 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,840 And I ain't preaching like separatism because like I got my fucking to my family who's white, 426 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:04,960 who's Filipino, who's Dominican, all the fucking shades of fucking people that can exist, exist 427 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,560 within my family tree. 428 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,760 And I ain't talking about like four generations ago. 429 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760 No, I have cousins who are half Filipino and black. 430 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,120 I have cousins who have half white and black. 431 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:19,200 I have cousins who are half Dominican, but like, you know what I mean? 432 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:26,440 This ain't a fuck everybody with black people shit, but it's just like, yeah, we know what 433 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,440 we need to do. 434 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,160 And I think one of the biggest problems is like we've been programmed or some, excuse 435 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,520 me if this like term is out of place, but it's too many chiefs and not enough Indians. 436 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,040 It's too many niggas who want to be the head niggas in church. 437 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:51,800 Like, yo, sometimes we got to identify who the leader is and then follow suit. 438 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,520 One of the greatest quotes I've ever heard was in order to be an effective leader, you 439 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,240 have to first be an effective follower. 440 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,720 You got to know how to take rules and apply them. 441 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,040 So then when you're in the position to give out the rules, you know how to do it and you 442 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:14,680 can correct niggas who ain't doing it the right way, but this should sound too much 443 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,560 like, you know, some shit the government would disagree with or like tap my phone for some 444 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,560 shit. 445 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,240 So again, this is the conversational purposes only. 446 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,400 I'm just speaking my fucking mind. 447 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,320 I'm not, this is not a call to arms. 448 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,440 It's in a dog whistle or that shit. 449 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,920 But man, fuck the government nigga. 450 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,920 That's how I feel. 451 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,920 Yeah. 452 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,760 I mean, I understand the importance of it and I understand how it works and how it's 453 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,440 supposed to work. 454 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,640 And that motherfuckers effect is in it work. 455 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,200 It just doesn't work for us. 456 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,080 It's not that it can't. 457 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,080 It doesn't want to. 458 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:58,400 Like, oh man, I could really get into some shit. 459 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,320 I ain't doing all that. 460 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:11,480 I'm here for a good time, not a long time. 461 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:18,600 So with that being said, anybody who's hearing this, I hope whatever goals you're chasing, 462 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320 you get one step closer to achieving them goals. 463 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:27,040 If not obtaining a goal all together and keep in mind, once you attain whatever goal 464 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,600 that you set, you got to reset. 465 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,760 So all right, you wanted to be good at the violin. 466 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Now you are. 467 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,600 Don't wrestle in your laurels. 468 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,600 Like, pick a new goal, learn the guitar, learn whatever. 469 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,320 And you can apply that to anything. 470 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,760 Work for us, personal shit, trying to like build a talent, whatever. 471 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,840 Whatever you're chasing, continue to chase it. 472 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,440 Once you achieve it, don't settle. 473 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,440 Chase something new. 474 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,000 I hope everybody here is safe, productive. 475 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,000 I want everybody to see positive, put your best foot forward and live life, man. 476 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Peace.
