Yo.
I'd like to welcome everybody back to the Brandy Webisode.
The Cognitive Collage Park, and it's time for your host, Wayne Golden.
The Friends and Family, they call me QG for short.
And if you feel like that's what we becoming, you can call me that too.
Ah man, I'm in amazing mood, I can't even lie.
Last night the Super Bowl went down.
Philadelphia Eagles versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Neva won was my favorite team, I'm a Ravens guy obviously.
But when the Eagles pulled it out, I was beyond happy like, man listen.
That wasn't even the game.
That shit was belt to S from whistle to whistle.
I think the score was like 44 to 20 or some shit like that.
Something in that range.
And it wasn't competitive, not at all.
Pass from the home, multiple picks, sacks seven times, fumbles.
Like, eagles beat the ass.
What I will give the Chiefs though is they like maintain 6-1 buckly,
but they couldn't do shit with Jaylen Hurts like, Jaylen Hurts to me, I'm sorry.
He was just getting outside the pocket, scramming, finding the open receivers.
That Brevely shove shit on the one yard line is virtually unstoppable.
Philly Mike got the best offensive and defensive lines in the world,
most real shit.
But I'm elated.
Nick Wright, who I usually fuck with, because he's a pro LeBron guy like I am,
he make valid points, but for some reason he has like the strong dislike for,
I won't even call it dislike, like it's beyond the critique of like LeMond Jax and type of shit.
And I get it.
My home's AFC, LeMond's an AFC, so he rhymes for his guy.
And if I want to make my, you know what I mean, my favorite player look like he's the best,
I'm going to downplay other players around him.
So that's the only time I really can't fuck with Nick Wright.
But watching him today on First Things First with Chris Russo, like he was so humble,
like you can see the, just he was sick to his fucking stomach and you can see it, but that was amazing.
But the biggest highlight of the game for me was the Kendrick Lamar halftime show.
Fucking massive.
It was just, now, you know, I'm a person who's performed on like stages in front of crowds and shit.
Like, you know, there's a certain level of like mental, mental fortitude you have to have, breath control.
You know what I mean, you'll want to stand there in one spot and look, you know what I mean?
You got to like play to the crowd and shit.
That's some hard shit to do.
Especially in his situation because one, you live to like your TV so you can't curse.
You got to edit your words as you say it because like a lot of this shit with the rap shit, I guess music in general, like it's almost like muscle memory.
So like, if you used to say in these particular words in the same pattern every time, it's kind of hard to break that pattern.
You know what I mean?
It was executed flawless.
Like the stage was made to look like a PlayStation controller.
But like, he had Uncle Sam out there, like telling him what he can and can't do while performing.
And he happened to get Samuel L. Jackson of all people to play Uncle Sam fucking to chef's kiss.
Like it was just, bro, he went crazy.
And I like how he kept trying to, he kept teasing like, did not like us, not like us type of shit.
He was like, I want to play that favorite song.
And like the female backgrounds go, didn't do it.
And he was like, but you know, they're probably soon and they play, they play like a half a beat of like, they just played a hit of croak.
So he goes, no, I'm not going, I can't do it.
As a matter of fact, ladies, help me out. We're going to slow down. He went to the song, Luther would like, SZA, which was like fire was clean.
And then he did like another song with him and SZA.
Then he did man in the garden fire.
And then at the end, he was just like, or towards the end, he did like, what do you say?
Oh, I forgot how like he set it up.
They're going to, but then when that not like us beat dropped, must have done a beat.
Hopefully, what crazy.
Pearl going nuts.
So he does that.
Something like, all right, he probably going to cut it short before it gets to the hell.
No, he's strutting and dancing.
He walked me walking across the camera.
He snickered, whips his head around, looks directly in the camera through the most evil smile ever seen in my life.
Say, Drake, I hear you like I'm young.
Nega on TV.
You're going to ever go to sell block one.
Any woman talk to him and they love just make sure you had your little sister from myself.
Oh, God.
So then he gets to the certified lover boy certified petter.
Ah, you know what I mean?
So he cut it off.
So we are like, why you trolling like, ain't you tired?
Trying to strike a chord and it's probably in the crowd said, amen, crazy insanity.
Fucking insanity.
And then right after that, he ends the set with TV off.
He bring mustard out there.
They go crazy.
And then as like, as he finished the first verse, he start walking away.
He act like he's digging in his pocket.
He points his hand at the camera like it's a remote and says turn your TV off.
All the lights go out.
And then in the crowd, you can see it like lit up and license a game over.
Yeah, fuck that.
Bro, this is probably the most masterful ass whipping and hip hop history.
Like fucking insanity is crazy.
It was fire, bro.
Super fire.
Shout out to Kendrick Lamar.
Shout out to the whole PG Lane.
It's so much that I'm leaving out from like the jewelry war was significant.
Like the things that Samuel was saying was significant.
Like it was just, bro, it was crazy.
It was deep.
It was, that she was a piece of art.
It's not to just walk from side to side to, you know, from one side of the stage to other side of the stage.
Just reciting your shit.
No, it was odd.
Everything had intention.
Everything was purposeful.
And I saw a lot of people, I don't know what they were expecting, but they would say,
I don't get it.
This ain't the best performance I've ever seen.
Just like, yo, it's fucking short sighted ass niggas.
But to each his own.
But for me and, you know, the people that I engage with, where we look at things on the deeper level,
like this shit was impeccable.
It was impeccable.
Once again, man, shout out to that brother, man.
He just, he might be the best of all time.
Not solely off of this, but just his entire body of work, the things to speak on how he's able to convey the message,
his beat selection is just.
Masterful.
He's definitely my top three.
My top three is probably, it's M for sure.
It's M, it's Kendrick and Nas.
For me, don't get me wrong.
There's a ton of rappers like I love, like I love Cameron.
I love Lou Payne.
I love Beanie Seagal.
Like, you know what I mean?
I love Scarface.
Like, it's a bunch of niggas that I, that I fuck with.
I think it's absolutely fine.
But if I'm going upper, upper, upper echelon, like go level shit, it's Kendrick M and Nas for me.
Man.
So, man, I got that out the way, but I just had to get out the way.
It was just amazing, bro.
Like, I'll be honest, there's way to talk about another podcast on your own podcast,
but I'm so looking forward to the Joe Button podcast, to hear that, hear that takes on it.
It won't alter mine, whether it's positive or negative.
Mine, my stance is my stance.
Like, I think this is one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever saw.
Definitely the most masterful ass whipping of all times on some hip hop shit.
But I am intrigued to know, like, what that stance is.
What else is going on?
Oh, so, Saturday, they released the metallic Jordan 5s and shit.
So, where I live at, there's like a sneaker store, not too far from, but like, it's in the cut.
There's a main sneaker store near me, but there's a secondary one that most people don't go to,
because whenever I go in there, it might be one person that most, two people in most type of shit.
So, I was in there like, it was, I think, Thursday night.
And I was talking to one of the guys in the store.
I was like, yo, y'all getting the metallic 5s?
I was like, yeah, man, you know, no raffles, none of that type of shit.
It's first come, first served.
I'm like, all right.
And then, like, I'm off on the weekends and shit.
I work Monday, Friday type of shit.
So, like, I get up early on Saturday.
I'm about to go up there and just get them.
But I was just like, you know what?
I got other important shit to focus on.
Like, I'm going to actually fall back from these.
If I get them, I'm going to get them.
But any day I put out my mind, I don't really think about it.
It's probably like three, four hours later.
I'm on social media, just like scrolling this shit.
And like, I see, it was like, I don't know what store it was in.
It might have been like a downtown locker room, but maybe not.
I'm not sure what store it was, but a bunch of niggas showed up to get them.
They ran out of, it was some kind of dispute over past me.
Niggas get the, they get the like scuffing and that.
They go scuffle what shit they fighting.
Somebody pull out a gun, pop one of the niggas.
Whole store going to a fucking frenzy.
It's like, damn, y'all niggas really crashed like that
for some fucking shoes.
Crazy.
But I'm not justifying it.
But you know, when, when you born and raised and the type of
atmosphere is that we born and raised, then it's not really much to look forward to.
It's not really much that we hold valuable, that we feel like give us value.
And I know from like the outside looking in and she's like, oh, it's just a pair of shoes.
But for, you know, niggas in the hood, it's a little more than that.
It's like, you know, when you go your whole life, feeling like you have not, you know what I mean?
And then when you're able to finally obtain something that make you feel on the same level as like, you know,
maybe people that you admire or, you know what I mean?
Or that you look up to or whatever the case may be.
So for the outside looking in, it's like, oh, it's just a pair of sneakers.
But for some people, it's like, it's validation.
Like, damn.
You know what I mean?
Shit ain't perfect, but shit at least I got these.
It's something to be happy about.
It's something to build off.
Like for most people, they get to get through like your day to day.
Like you got to search for like those small victims.
You know what I mean?
And that can be whatever you consider to be a victim.
Like, you know, getting on work on time or setting like a small goal.
Like, all right, when I get up, I'm going to work off for 30 minutes.
I'm a fucking take a shower.
I'm a cook breakfast.
Just small goals.
But as you achieve those and whatever timeframe you set for yourself,
like it sets a mindset for the day.
Like, damn, I really got all that shit done.
And now you just feel like you can enjoy the day because the things that you set out to achieve, you achieve.
You know what I mean?
And that, like I said, it's a small victory.
So, damn, bro, if I get these pair of shoes, one, does it change my life?
No.
Does it make me happy as a person?
Overall, probably not.
And the midst of all these cloudy skies, these might just be a silver lining.
And I might only be happy about it for like a fucking hour,
but shit, at least I got that hour.
You know what I mean?
So, again, it's not to justify the actions that niggas took over something as simple as a pair of shoes,
but, you know, for some people, it's not shoes.
It's much deeper than that.
So, I remember, like, my father said a quote one time,
he goes, you'll envy a man with nice shoes until you meet a man with no feet.
When I was younger, I didn't know what that shit meant.
But essentially, what he was saying was, hey, man, whatever you got, be happy with it.
Be appreciative of whatever it is that you got.
Is it the best of the best?
No.
But it can always be worse.
So, when you look down at, like, your scuff sneakers and you see a nigger walking by with a pair of fresh metallic fives.
Damn, man.
Shit, I want your hat down.
And then as he walked by, you turn the wall down the street,
and then here comes somebody coming down the street in a wheelchair with their leg missing.
And I said, damn, I wouldn't trade these scuff sneakers for his position.
You know what I mean?
So, try to be gracious on what you got, what you have, you know what I mean?
But I don't know.
I think it was sad.
It's a mess.
Like, again, not just to find, but I can kind of understand the mindset that would make you want to be that aggressive.
But at the same time, it's just like, bro, what are we doing this for?
You're in the crowded place.
Everybody got cell phones to the storage self has cameras.
Like, so what are you going to shoot a nigger and then go home taking that and put on your new shoes and go to the cell phone?
Well, you about to attempt to murder a mass slaughter, discharging the firearm and the public police, public endangerment.
Like, they're going to rack that shit up on you for like some shit that probably took 30 seconds in totality.
So shit that only costs about 200 bucks might cost you the next 20, 30, 40 years.
And you still ain't going to get the way of them fucking shoes.
It's nuts, man.
Oh, yeah.
Trump was at the game yesterday looking fucking orange as ever.
They got that nigger like, it was at one point somebody said something in reference to him and Carl started boring.
Got the fuck about it.
Plus, like, he was he was rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.
He essentially like, I want to go with the winners, you know, like the winners.
Patrick, my home is a good guy.
Travis tells me, like, all right, he don't know the bullshit.
He just knew it was in the bag.
So that nigga probably don't know shit about football.
He just figured these niggas do winners.
I'm a winner.
So they got they start getting that fucking monkey flip.
The niggas just stomped out.
Patrick, my home's literally had tears in his fucking eyes.
Grown ass, man, making millions in nigga.
You didn't won three championships.
All right.
This nigga is on the sideline.
Literally crying.
Not I'm not saying crying in a figurative way like he was wanting.
No, this nigga had fucking tears in his eyes.
This nigga had his bottom lip poked out, quivering like it was quivering like a fucking tub.
He over there hugging people like, I'm sorry, man, I'm just hurt right now.
Are you a bitch?
Bitch ass.
Travis Kelsey got with I thought it was Taylor Swift on some real shit.
But now that he fuck with Taylor Swift, this nigga is he started rocking like the white nigga bangs and shit.
The nigga went and his hair like Sean from Boy Meets World and shit.
When he was fucking with the black business, nigga had feeds with the shape up.
But I will give him this though.
I remember like some interview was talking to Travis Kelsey and he had a feed and he was just like,
so what is that called like the Kelsey cut?
He goes, what?
A fate?
They go, yeah.
He goes, no, this is not singing.
Bro, have you never been around black people?
So that much had to give him like, all right, I'll fucks with that.
Yeah, fucking can't see the cheese, man.
Ravens from life.
Shout to the U.S. though.
Filly Basics like our cousin.
Filly and DC is like Baltimore cousins.
Funny enough, Baltimore niggas and Filly niggas, they act exactly the same way.
I swear to God, it's rolled up new balance to fucking chinhead like the houses to structure the city looks like the row houses look just like if you go to a Philly street.
And then you go to a Baltimore street on the west side of the east side.
It looks exactly like Philly.
The only difference is like the shape of the street signs also real shit.
It's really got that street sound like the little hump in the middle at the top.
And now shit is just like a long rectangle type of shit.
Shout to my DC niggas too though.
I fucked with DC.
I fucked with Filly too.
I never understood that like why Baltimore DC has so much tension.
But you know, if you really take a look throughout history, like people go, man, it's black on black crime.
Well, yeah, you tend to fucking get into it the motherfuckers that's closest to you.
Niggas wouldn't be here Baltimore gone, man, when I see that nigga from Nebraska, I wouldn't have fucked with you ever seen him.
So they goes black and black crime.
Yes, Asian on Asian crime is Hispanic on Hispanic crime is white on white crime.
Like, but on some like, you know, manipulation type of shit, they're going to like highlight the black on black shit.
Like that shit ain't everywhere.
Like, you know, the police so afraid to black people so quick to put their guns on them.
The number one killer police is fucking white males between the ages of 20 and like 35 or some shit.
Because in them niggas minds, they go, this is my daddy's country.
This is my granddaddy country.
You gonna pull me over just because I'm drunk swerving in between lanes.
And they will pull that gun out and shoot the shit out the cop.
But they think he'll go to court and they'll be like, well, we got a factor in his upbringing.
He grew up on a farm and his dad used to drink.
It's like, all right, we're going to give him 20 years.
Killed the nigga.
He only get 20 years.
Black nigga.
Oh, bro, this nigga, the cop try to shoot him, stumble while he's trying to shoot him, end up shooting the fucking self.
And they go get that black nigga likes who didn't get shot.
I didn't even touch the gun.
Yeah.
But at the same time, if you didn't fucking get in the lane without signaling, he would never have to pull you over.
It's a domino effect and they will give that nigga life.
But again, this is some real shit.
My kid probably 15, 16, grandma brought him like a PlayStation three or some shit.
This is like years ago.
And she took it back.
He's acting up in school.
This nigga wasn't got an axe and chopped her to fucking pieces.
They put him in a mental institute until he was like 22 or 23.
That thing is just out and about somewhere right now.
Whole fools eating grapes and shit.
Well, you clearly had a mental problem.
The video game is addicted.
We got to believe the video games for this.
All right.
Kid down in Florida.
He's playing wrestling with his next or neighbor.
Next to a neighbor.
This kid was actually like on the spectrum type of shit.
So, you know, he was in all that.
Playing with the kid, they wrestling in the midst of it.
He does like a wrestling move on the kid.
The kid ended up dying.
It wasn't purpose.
It wasn't on purpose.
They didn't affect in his mental health.
They didn't affect in anything.
They gave him life without parole.
He's mentally challenged and he was like 14 or 15 and they charged him as an adult.
And the kid who took the fucking ex from out the shed, walked up the steps,
wait to grab him.
I was sleep.
Chopped in the fucking head and took a hit off.
Then their hands, then their arms, then their legs, then their feet.
Oh, no, man.
It's the video games.
But that's America.
Well, no, that's not America.
That's the United States.
That's another thing I want to get away from.
We are the United States of America.
We are not America.
The continent that we live on is America.
You have North America, which consists of Canada, the United States, Mexico.
You have South America continent that consists of Brazil, Costa Rica,
you know what I mean?
Colombia.
It's all South America.
But it's all America.
Because of the continent.
You know what I mean?
So, like, I say that to say, let's use this analogy.
So we'll substitute the continent for a state.
We'll substitute the country for a city.
So if a person go, oh, you from, you know what I mean?
You from California.
All right.
So you must be from LA.
No.
I'm from, you know, LA.
Well, it's all still California.
No.
I'm probably confusing you, Niggas.
Long story short, the United States is, it is what it is.
So, whatever.
But I love it at the same time.
But at the same time, it's inflation going on.
A fucking card in the eggs is eight fucking dollars.
And that's for the, that's for the dozen.
If you get the card in the eggs that has like the additional half a dozen,
where it's like 18 eggs instead of 12,
then it's just 10, 11 fucking dollars.
And San
The utility companies are hiking their prices up.
So some protestant shit going on for that,
like try to get that shit stabilized.
Judge finally stepped in a federal judge and said that
Trump administration had no right to freeze the federal government.
But like I said, it goes back to what I was saying earlier.
But like I said, it was like, it was like, it was like.
The old nigga don't say nothing back.
So he goes, oh, he must got earphones in.
I ain't tripping.
He come back downstairs.
We about to have this little meeting and shit.
So all the engineers and man, he goes,
he start looking around.
He goes, hey, where's the older dude?
So they was like, huh?
Yeah, older dude.
He's up in the mechanical room with a clipboard.
He had glasses on, white hair, slick back,
and everybody in the room face like,
just look like what the fuck type of shit.
I'm new here myself.
I've only been here like a few weeks longer than the new kids.
So like, I'm just confused looking around for this nigga too.
So they totally just switched the subject.
We get back to talking about whatever projects
is coming up all this other shit.
So then after the meeting is done, walking down the hallway,
so a guy who's been here for a while, he goes, hey, man,
why did you say that?
So the young boys just like, oh, because I saw him upstairs.
He goes, what mechanical room are you in?
He's like, I was in the one to build the next house.
So the dude, he's a Colombian guy.
He just started doing the cross shit from his forehead
to his stomach and shoulder to shoulder.
He's doing that repeatedly in San Hel, Marais,
and speaking in Spanish, some other shit.
So now I'm intrigued.
I go, why are you doing all that?
He goes, look, man, there used to be an engineer who
used to work here.
He found out that he was terminally ill with cancer.
And so the job was trying to not let him go,
but he was like, just stay at home.
We're going to pay you full wage regardless.
Just spend your time with your family.
And he said, all right, thank you.
I appreciate you.
He shook everybody's hand.
Then he went upstairs to the mechanical room
and went out onto the roof and then
jumped off the building and killed himself.
So when the guy told me that, I was like, oh, shit.
He goes, no, it's real.
He tells me the guy name, which I won't say, out of respect.
So I look it up.
Yeah, that shit happened.
That's a real thing.
I said, oh, shit.
The fucked up part is the young nigga don't even
believe in ghosts.
I do.
So the next day, I'm up in the mechanical room and shit.
I turn the lights out.
I'm just walking around the fucking mechanical room
in the dark, hoping to see this fucking ghost.
Nothing.
But anyways, I'm going to keep pursuing that because that
shit was crazy.
Like, oh, shit.
My hair's standing up thinking about that shit.
That's crazy.
But anyways, that's been my past week.
So whatever's here in this, man, I hope you stay safe.
Hope you stay positive.
Stay productive.
Whatever goal you chase and I hope you achieve it.
If you don't achieve it, you get one step closer to achieving
it.
But if you happen to achieve it, you know what I mean?
Don't rest on your laurels.
Set a new goal and then pursue it.
And out of everything I said today,
if you were feeling it, if you wasn't feeling it,
if you agree, if you disagree, hit me up on Instagram
at QGMusic.
That's QGMUSIC on Instagram.
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me if you fuck with it.
Tell me if you don't fuck with it.
Yeah.
Man, it's a good time, man.
Not a long time.
So with that being said, peace.
