I'm Fresh and you are now listening to the Breaks podcast. These are
highlights from our Saturday night hip-hop show on KUTX 98.9 in Austin,
Texas. My co-host Confucius Jones and I are native Austinites and we love
talking to hip-hop, Texas hip-hop, hip-hop history, and what's going on
right now. And just so you know, the opinions expressed in the podcast
are our own and do not necessarily reflect the position of KUTX in
Austin, Texas.
We here to talk over the airwaves. No matter where you're from or where
you stay. 98.9 you in the place to be. Wake up, wake up, wake up this is
the Breaks. You could be anywhere but you ain't. So let's proceed with
the wave. 98.9 You in the place to be wake up wake up wake this is the
Breaks.
The Grammys.
The Grammys, yeah.
One of our producers, Elizabeth
McQueen, had a Grammy, viewing
party at her house.
She did.
Her husband has five Grammys.
Yeah, he's a Grammy.
He's a Grammy Award winner.
Like the. Not the certificate.
We're talking like the actual
record.
He's he got he got so many Grammys.
They changed shape over time.
Like hundred dollar bills.
Yeah. Benjamin Franklin had to
smile, and now he just big on it.
If any of you follow us on social
media, you saw us taking pictures
with them. The things heavy too,
boy.
Yeah. Like the the one they hand out
now, you know, things, things
could hurt you.
Things heavy, man, but.
Yeah. So let me start off.
What what was your, thoughts
on the Grammys?
What did you like and what didn't
you like?
My thoughts on the Grammys?
Man, I'm an award show guy,
so I enjoy the pageantry of
award shows. So I thought the
Grammys, the show itself was
great.
I don't think it's too many, like
bad Grammys.
I see what it was when the show
itself, which is like, I this was
real lackluster.
I like the performances.
I like most of the performance.
Most of the show was performance.
Yeah, I like to perform.
I think Travis Scott's
performance, like, really fit the
Grammys setting.
I didn't realize he yelled out,
"y'all slept on me me ten times"
because he lost ten times.
Oh, I didn't realize that either,
but alright.
Travis, we could have a
conversation, but I'm not going to
do that right now. What I didn't
like was I still don't like that
like, best rap album is not
televised.
Yeah, that's still weird.
Is is only weird to me because rap
is the number one genre in the
world, and you won't even televise
the Best Rap album
category like just that category.
I don't need the best rap song
collab and all of that, but like the
best rap album
and it was handed out at like before
and like, like at the
beginning of the show, before the
show even started. Like we found out
that Killer Mike had one.
Before the show.
Before the show even started.
What's not weird but kind of more
frustrating is that they use rap to
promote the show.
Like, oh, performances from, you
know, Kendrick Lamar.
Travis Scott.
Yeah, but you don't show the rap
that's all about this. At least the
rap album category.
Rap like at least
best rap album.
Yeah, that that's weird because
it's not like other genres like they
represent best country album.
They presented the best.
R&B Album
Or -
The best R&B song, I think.
Well, the one thing that SZA got was
Best Contemporary.
Well, I don't know if she won Best
Contemporary R&B album.
I don't understand that with best
R&B album, but I think she got
best single or something like that.
That was the one that was presented
on TV.
Yeah, she won for best
R&B song. That's what they show on
TV.
Yeah.
Yeah, she. So she got three.
She got pop duo, group
performance, Ghost & Machine
and she got one for urban
contemporary album S.O.S..
Yeah. She was nominated for album of
the year, song of the year, record
of the year.
R&B performance.
Yeah. And she didn't win any major
awards. She got that Beyoncé
treatment.
I think she's the next one
to get that Beyonce treatment.
She going to get all the other
awards. But the major ones
that she's going to continue to get
snubbed.
What didn't you like about it?
Well you mentioned.
Yeah, that was it. It was just like
just not televising, like at
least the Best Rap album
award. I think you can fit that
into like the television
presentation.
You don't have to cut a show.
You don't have to cut a performance
or anything or cut giving somebody
else a televised award.
But just like, come on, bruh.
Best country. They got CMAs.
I - there's an argument
for rap, too.
Yeah. We don't really have a rap
award.
The BET Hip-Hop Awards.
You got that one?
Yes.
What do you mean.
It's in the name.
No, but it's like CMA's
like, I don't
want to say that sounds kind of off
putting. Like more but more
prestigious than the
BET Hip Hop Awards.
Is it?
You got to dress up to go to CMA's, bruh.
I mean rappers
Ain't nobody dress up for BET Awards.
I guess I get what you sayin, I guess.
I guess I get what you're saying, I
guess.
Well, also, CMA's has been around
longer.
Is treated a little more.
Regal. Yeah, yeah.
And. Yeah. And I've heard all this
like Kay Michelle say that it means
a lot to them to be nominated for a
CMA, because that's a hard genre to
get into.
There were more wins that made sense
this year than in previous years.
We've talked about that.
I thought so.
Grammys having a bad habit
of not
attaching itself to the right
moments in culture.
My favorite part was Jay-Z when he
won the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.
I heard a theory about that, but go
ahead.
But you know, he got up there and
started basically pointing out the
fact that his wife has more Grammys
than anybody else.
Beyonce has 32 Grammys, and she's
never won any of the major category
awards. Like, album of the year.
Album of the year, record of the year, song
of the year.
The last Black woman to win
for album of the year was Lauryn
Hill Miseducation.
That was what, '99?
It was 25 years ago.
So you have to think about the
Grammys is basically saying in 25
years there's not been one album
by a Black woman that deserves to be
album of the year.
I mean, only 11 Black artists have
won in the 66 years
of the Grammys.
Stevie Wonder has got like, four of
them. So.
And so I think Taylor Swift holds
the record for the most album of the
year wins, which is
wild to think about it because in 25 years
there has been, after
Lauryn Hill, there's Beyonce has put
out multiple albums.
Alicia Keys has come, hers come
out.
It's been quite a few.
Yeah. In 25 years you know a quarter
of a century.
So I agree with Jay-Z's point on
that.
Y'all can get mad at me if you want to.
Not a fan of Miley Cyrus.
Who's going to get mad at you?
Well, I know people were like, oh,
she just put on a great performance.
I said, that old off brand Tina
Turner performance, she did?
Ain't nobody want to see that! Also,
I don't think she's that talented.
So that I mean
granted, shoutout to her for getting
her first Grammy.
I thought she'd been had them.
I thought she had been won, too.
I thought she got one for like,
wrecking ball or something.
But I didn't forget when she was
cosplaying as a rapper.
I don't I have not forgotten that
either.
Turn around and said rap was bad, so
I don't look at you.
I remember that vividly.
Running around with Juicy J and Mike
WiLL.
I don't care about her doing Hannah
Montana. I don't know that.
I don't think Miley Cyrus is that
talented.
She got a quarter of her dance
talent.
I also
more or less I definitely would move
by Joni Mitchell getting rolled out
there like professor X.
So.
I understand that Joni Mitchell is a
huge, you know, legendary folk
artist. Cool. But,
yeah, Joni Mitchell used to wear
Blackface. Now, I know that Twitter
found this out during the award
ceremony, but I had heard about it
in passing because one of those
things like word? I don't really care about Joni Mitchell.
I think I saw.
We were talking about before the show,
I saw like the pictures, but I
assumed that that was like
an SNL sketch because I, I saw the
pictures. I always saw the pictures
and just never anything behind
what the picture would be,
I guess. Man, SNL would do something
like that man.
Especially back in the 80s when they
were all coked out of their minds.
They would do something like that.
Well, I never heard the story behind
the pictures and I so I didn't know
it was Joni Mitchell.
And then
Twitter became Twitter and,
and let's you know, they oh,
I'll celebrate this woman, but.
She's gonna call us the N-word and
everything.
Yeah. In the 70s, like you were
walking around in Blackface, talking
about how she can relate to
like she she, she understands.
They could relate. And she has the
mind or the soul of a Black man and
was calling Muhammad Ali the N-word
and. Yeah, like, yo,
bro. Well.
She said she was going to call him
the n-word but she didn't, which was
probably a good idea.
I have quotes.
There we go.
I got, I got the receipts.
And I quote Joni Mitchell,
"I really feel an affinity because
I have experience being a Black
guy on several occasions."
I want to know what Joni
Mitchell was doing in her life,
where she had the experience
of a Black man in America.
What was you doing because you was
walking around in Blackface?
Like that's the thing, man.
You know what? Never mind.
Because if I say this is going to go
into a whole nother controversy
territory, does she have the right
to call herself whatever she wants?
No comment about this one.
That's going to open up some things,
and I'm sure people are going to
hear like, no, we got to strike
that, strike that from the record.
So I don't just keep my mouth
shut.
It's just funny that it said that
she was inspired to start doing that
because she ran into a Black guy in
New York, and so.
But who did she run
into? It made her start dressing
like a Black caricature from the
70s. That's what she's dressing like
and Black people like Joni Mitchell.
We like Joni Mitchell.
It's just that part of her musical
history is kind of tucked away.
If this was a lot, man, it just
was it just it wasn't
shocking to find out, but
it just was a lot to kind of like
unpack. And I think.
I see her.
Like, you see them trotting
her out there the way that they did
and celebrating her like this.
And I say this to my point what you
identify with isn't a problem.
Just don't be disrespectful.
That's the problem.
You're just disrespectful about it.
By dressing up, saying you identify
with the Black man and dressing like
a pimp from the 70s, isn't that
that's that's disrespectful.
And if you identify as a Black man,
you should know the trauma of
dressing up in Blackface.
Yeah.
So. And why?
That's not cool.
Shoutout Joni Mitchell.
I guess we shouting her out.
I didn't see it because I didn't get
to the party in time, but I did see
the clip online. Tracy Chapman
performed.
Yeah, with Luke Combs, that was
that was probably one of my favorite
performances of the night.
It was funny. People on Twitter were
trying to, you know, trying to dress
down how she looked like, oh, look
at her. She's up there with jeans on
and like a dress shirt.
Somebody said that it's custom Gucci.
Tracy Chapman ain't broke, now.
calm down.
That's what I will be.
I don't want that, man.
You know, that's a whole nother
topic for a whole nother day.
Like, look how she's dressed.
She's toned down. Like first of all,
Tracy Chapman always dressed like
that. It's a custom Gucci
shirt she got on.
It's kind of her, like, aesthetic.
Yeah. I'm saying yeah,
Y'all expect her to come out there
with a Gucci monogram suit on.
Yeah, facts.
I think she got what first Black
woman to get a CMA, you know.
Yeah.
Like Luke Combs redid the song.
Bro. Yeah. Wow.
That was dope to see out there.
It was, it was.
She looks great.
She does, man. Oh, she looked great.
Sounded great.
SZA didn't win like I said for album
of the year, which was wild because
that's one of the bigger albums of.
But she lost to Taylor Swift and
Taylor Swift is you know
I'm not in the group of people who
doesn't like Taylor Swift.
I understand Taylor Swift is
insanely talented.
I do, and insanely popular.
And when she wins, I'm not one of
like, she don't deserve it, I wrote
it. Taylor Swift is take out your
bias. Taylor Swift is huge and
she's talented.
I will say this about Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift, if you're listening.
This is the last year you're going
to announce an album when you win
and act like you were surprised that
you won that award.
This is the last year you're getting
it off. This is the last year you
get in like you can't do that.
Three. Next year you can't do that
three years in a row. You cannot do
three years in a row.
The only reason why people feel
away, understandably, is
because Taylor Swift, being as good
as she is at what she does,
being a generational talent like she
is, has gotten
so many accolades, well deserved
accolades. But Beyonce does not get
those same accolades and she is
definitely a once in a lifetime
generational talent.
You said it on Twitter.
Something I thought was very important
is that.
You know when back beat Beyonce, I
think it was four one for lemonade.
It was.
Yeah. Renaissance.
I think it was.
Yeah, I think it was because I think
lemonade was a day.
They'll beat her. That's what they
say.
What did she have to do to get it?
Yeah.
And people were like, you know,
trying to find Beck's. And he had a
few jams on their whole album was
good. And you said, didn't Beyonce
have to go back and have a few
songs? But Beyonce had to have a
whole album.
Full of good. Yeah. Somebody made a
Twitter post and like, not hey
or anything, but you know, I think
Beyonce is talented.
I mean, I'm paraphrasing here, but
basically saying, you know, does she
really have an entire album of hits
that is deserving of winning album,
mini album of the year?
My response was stupid argument.
Y'all can't name a song from,
let alone the single or a hit
from Beck's that is.
Still getting played consistently.
Y'all can't name a song
from that album.
Y'all can't name a song from Jon
Batiste, but Beyonce
has to have an entire album worth
of hits, which she has.
She has.
I don't know if y'all heard lemonade,
if y'all hurt Renaissance Beyonce's
self-titled.
I'm out. I'm sorry that came off
there.
But she hasn't entire she has
several albums where a full
run of hits, but she
has to live up to that standard, but
nobody else does.
Yeah, I remember you did the,
unpopular opinion about Single
Ladies being the biggest song in the
last 40 years.
What a.
Year.
That album didn't get album of the
year. So.
Like, I.
Like, I'm all like, what
is she? She had a song that
took the world by storm
and she couldn't get
album, would you?
And the album was great.
It ain't like it was a track.
Like that was the only song on
the album that was good.
Like the album was great.
Come on man, come on man, it's wild.
But you know, it's the Grammys.
And at the end of the day with
Drake, salmon, Jay-Z say it still
rings true that this
doesn't define your legacy.
It adds to it.
There's a respect level two.
That's why I like Jay-Z.
Even though we boycott it, we still
watch it on TV.
But we have to be careful
expecting award shows to always
get it right.
We talk all mass about Lauryn Hill,
but Lauryn Hill deserved that
because that album was, you know, it
was yeah.
I'm never take that away.
But it just sucks that there's times
where, you know, the Grammys still
gets it wrong, but that's just what
it is. You know, we know Beyonce
so well you
know.
Yeah I mean you know music.
What do your dreams look like
wow. Question.
Very business oriented these days.
You a day I'm like,
so let's say I'm an artist
and we've talked about this before,
but it's always good to bring it up
again.
I say I'm an artist, right?
And I want to submit my music to
you.
What is the best way to do it
to me?
If you're submitting music to
me, I would say the best way
you can reach out to me.
I don't mind people reaching out to
me via social media, whether
Instagram, Twitter, or
Facebook. Honestly, if you reach out
to me on Facebook, it's going to
take a while for me to see that.
Yeah.
But if you reach out to me.
One. Introduce yourself.
Don't assume that I know you.
Don't hit me where you're okay.
Yo, we need to work.
What? Say? Who are you
by? Introduce yourself
and ask the question that you want
to know.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the whole
people talking to you in a way,
because they think you look like
them. They can talk to you in any
kind of way. Yeah.
You know, I got to talk about we got
the stupid DM from somebody.
Just insult us.
Yes, yes.
And then guilt us into listening
to their music.
A gentleman reached out to us
and kicked off the message with
insults. Insults?
Granite.
Old man.
But I'm sure he was trying to be
funny. Well, he thought he was being
funny.
But you don't know me, bruh.
You don't know me. So don't leave
with the insult and then insinuate
if we care about Black music and
not, we will listen to your music.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa. Don't you ever.
Don't you ever.
I'm saying this for anybody.
Don't you ever in your life.
Insinuate, insinuate.
That if I care
about anything they got to do with
Black people, then I will support
you or listen to you.
Don't you ever in your life fix you?
Nobody.
Nobody ever in your life.
Fix your mouth.
Mouth. Tongue.
Teeth. Nothing.
Vocal chords to
insinuate anything like that to
me, man.
Because you will not like the person
that you see when I see you in
person.
I promise you, you will not like the
person you see you don't have.
I will, I do that no more.
It was a very bold approach.
Whatever comes after bold, it was
that.
I was hoping that
the music was going to be so
good that the insult
would.
With an approach like that, you
would assume I was like this.
This has to be like the next kings
of the morning.
And when I tell you it was nowhere
close, like, bro, you should get
handed just off the waste of my
time.
You know, I thought that too.
Like when I read what he sent me, I
was like, oh, this guy got to be the
next James Fat Leroy or somebody.
This got to be something in here.
Now, granted, I know dude probably,
you know, has his friends tell him
he's great. He thinks it's great.
It's fine, but it sucks.
Imma take this one. By this point.
I didn't listen at all because.
Your approach was horrible.
And we've talked to the other artist
about this. Talk to me afresh,
the same way you would talk to a
white man who you think has power,
because I know y'all not hit them
up. Europe.
What's up bro? Hit me up.
Let's talk this business.
Hey, yo, we need to link up.
Why?
For what? Now?
Granted, here's what I respect.
Bro's for it. Their management once
told me.
I think I told you the same thing.
That where he comes from.
In order to establish a business
relationship, there has to be.
In L.A. at least it usually involves
some type of, like, business lunch
or something. Yeah.
Let's go out, get something to eat.
Let's talk about some things.
I really like that in Austin, you
can send an email, DM and
get somebody's attention to kind of
move, which is cool.
But I don't don't talk to
us like we're friends.
I am not your friend.
I hate the whole we should do
business together thing, because
what business do you have to give
me? That would help me because my
mind goes to how much am I making
off this?
Because if if my business involved
solely on trying to propel
you and you can't even approach
me the right way, then I don't want
to be bothered that.
And when I hear,
you know, we need to do something,
we need to collab. We need to do
something together. My mind goes to,
what are you providing me in my
entity that I don't already
have myself or can't get on my own?
Yeah.
Like money is
cool, money is great.
But it's a lot of y'all going
to flip out when I say it is money.
Don't move me just because
you say I can make money that don't
move my feet, that don't
make me perk up and be like, oh
yeah, let's talk more.
I'm sorry bro. Money.
Like, yeah, money is great.
Having money. You need money.
Well, money. Don't move me like
that, man. And I think it move a lot
of y'all. Y'all assume it moves
everybody else the same way it
moves. You know man, how
it is what we you want to collab
on to work on.
How is that going to push the needle
for me just as much as
is pushing it for you.
Because if you get more than I'm
getting out of it, then
I ain't worth nothing. To me.
That's the point that always bothers
me is that
there's never a conversation.
Well, there's very rarely a
conversation that involves
an equal exchange of
opportunities.
It's never like a hey, bro, I
talked to this person in Chicago
that Trump put on a show, would ask
an artist, I told him to talk to you
guys.
I want to collab with y'all on this
so we can make the best of this.
It's always like, man, I don't have
any resources and I need you
guys to give it to me.
Or the resources you have.
I already have.
And my thing is, we're not saying
we're not trying to deter anybody
from reaching out to us because we
don't. We know not everybody has
the same connections we do.
We're just saying that just make
sure that if you're if you're not
bringing much to the table, make
sure everything is all the way put
together. I can't walk into a bank
and say, I need $5,000.
And and they be like, for what?
I just cause, like, that's not how
it works.
The 50,000, bro.
Like, I know a bank has money,
so me telling them to give me money
is not going to move them.
They need to know a reason.
Why do we need to give you this
money?
They need to see the plan when they
expect to get their return
on the investment, because that's
essentially what the $50,000 loan
would be.
Exactly. And so that's how I
would suggest to artists when you
reaching out to us, like ask
yourself clearly,
these guys, whether they deal me
or not, is still going to be them.
So how can I present this in a way
that makes sense for everybody?
Because a lot of times dudes try to
sell their own hype, which
I'm probably honestly, most of the
hype doesn't equal our brand,
how massive our brand
has gotten.
And I'm saying massive, like we just
Breakfast Club or anything, just in
terms of what we bring
to the table.
So it's a lot of like when I
go to Sixth Street, they don't all
the deejays know me, bro.
I know all the details.
Sorry, that that that's not the flex
you think it is.
So are you telling me you got a six
dude, every day? That's all I'm
hearing.
Because I know most of what the
owners of six. You look like.
They look like you.
To piggyback off that, I hear that a
lot, too. And all the deejays in
town know most of the deejays.
Oh, all the deejays over there.
They know me to deejay, like you
say, the DJ, the you know me, I
know them two.
But that doesn't move the needle.
Are they playing?
You move
the needle for me.
Well, are they playing?
Yeah. They know you.
Or are they spinning your music down
there? My favorite oh six.
Is I know he'll yellow.
Let me text him right now bro.
Like what are you. What are you telling
me? Right.
I don't know if you're telling me.
Yes, I know him.
No grip.
Okay.
All right.
What are you telling me here.
Bro grip in the VIP section of the
Don Toliver. So.
And we chop it up.
Like, what do we.
I'm so confused here.
But when it comes to
that album.
You have it.
Connections. Connections, man.
Connection. Amen.
It's not what you know who you know,
man.
I've been here all my life, okay?
Hey, man, prove me wrong once.
What?
You know who you know, man, but.
Oh, that ass.
I knew I should watch that damn
shoe.
Like, when you
like. You say we are saying these
things to deter you from reaching
out.
I want you out of.
Reach out just once again.
Do a professionally. Go ahead.
Yeah, that's basically what I was
saying. We we were saying is so you
can have a bit of frame of mind of
when you're reaching out what
will elicit.
A response from us, a good response
and don't expect
a response like right away.
We are busy.
We do have things to do here
at station and in life,
but when you approach us
and you reach out to us,
have some professional decorum about
it. No, don't jump in my.
It's a DM.
That don't mean you don't have to
have some professionalism with it.
No, I'm not responding to you.
If you jump in and talk about some.
You're ale.
What's poppin bro?
What?
I don't even have one.
I don't know you, so I'm not
responding to it the way that
you think I'm going to respond to
it.
I wouldn't be mad at people if they
just, you know, even DMs saying
like, hey, what's the best way for
me to get my music to you?
I get that a lot.
And I respond to that because you at
least came in a manner
that is more respectable
than your.
Because I get that a lot too.
And that's annoying. And I slot and
I delete. Yes.
Yeah.
Because no yeah
I don't. Yeah.
And also trying to tell us that
you're the biggest thing the city
has ever seen is not going to move
us either.
I because you know, how many times a
week I.
Hear that say I get that at least
once or twice a week.
I mean, I.
And like I said, it's not to deter
anybody. I like submissions I to
submissions.
And I will say
the most unfortunate part
is a lot of the submissions I get
that are, you know, sent in well,
or they follow the instructions we
have on the breaks Gmail,
I mean, from out of town.
And it's very disheartening because
it's like, damn, I really want to
like push this.
And, you know, but they don't live
here. Like there's one guy, man.
I put him into a playlist one week.
We played in one time all the way in
Florida. That's like, I can't I
even, you know, wrote it back.
I said, you ever gonna come to Austin
sometime? He's like, well, you know,
I don't have any money.
And I want to make it for South By,
but I don't know, I'm like, I.
I mean, I applaud the effort.
Like you said, we did hear it and we
did play it on our playlist,
so I applaud that.
But yeah, I do.
I look at submissions a lot of times
the most professional, structured
emails are people
who are not from here or people who
have a publicist or work
or are paying a publicist agency,
a PR agency that is sending out
the music for them.
Yeah. Like, you know, I don't expect
every artist here in the city of
Austin to have a publicist
or be working with a publicist, but
man, you can construct the email
properly.
There is a way to do that
is templates.
Yeah.
Oh, well that's all. That's all.
I'm asking for a little professional
decorum and like,
make sure your,
your song file, you send the song
file one and make sure
it's named properly, meaning
make sure the right.
If I get volume two.
Master your man name, make.
Sure that artist name, the right
artist name is on there and the
correct song title, because whoever
name is on that file or whatever the
name of that song. You.
That's how we putting it down, bruh.
Yeah, boy. And then how we going to
read it on air that part.
But I mean keep sending ma'am just
once again make sure the approach is
professional because we're always
going be professional with you.
So we ask you do the same.
Stick around for more after this
quick break.
Hip hop facts. Time.
Hip hop facts, man.
All right, you want to go first?
Let me go first.
You go first.
Elgin, genuine
is really.
I had to remember.
Realize what you talking?
Urgently rename was Elgin Lumpkin,
named after Elgin Baylor, the famous
L.A. Laker, according
to Gilbert Arenas.
Did you? I got your hands.
So apparently he said give arena
said he and some other NBA players
with a club one night.
And Ginuwine was in there and
Ginuwine was buying bottles for a
different section just to show
respect, like, hey, you know
that bottle? Obviously the bottle
over there.
He said he sent a bottle to an NBA
player who remains nameless
and NBA player took offense to it
and kind of was, you know, like
making gestures of genuine, genuine,
kind made gestures better.
Yo bro. Like what's up?
And they said, Ginuwine. I walked
over there getting ready to say he
couldn't hear what's being said.
But next thing you know Ginuwine.
What do you say? Clearly something
was say it and he.
Popped him in the face.
8250 right?
So I mean, I didn't I said, don't
let the dancing and singing fool
you.
That's all.
People did not follow from the DMV
area.
Well, all of them quoted him saying
hey yo, he from PG County, man, we
all play about it. I your man, he
said. And I said the same thing you
said. Don't let the dancing and
singing fool you make fun and
then you want to been around some
people.
Yeah, man.
Hey, man, you know, I said, man,
look.
He's.
Not from a he from on.
He not from a nice part of PG
County.
Man there.
Maryland man popped
him in the face. Man
at me like that, man.
All right.
Me I spilled this Roswell.
This man's name all wrong.
Well, first fact is.
Charlie Wilson.
Some people say I'll call him Uncle
Charlie.
Charlie Wilson.
Charlie wasn't the frontman of the
band yet. Band
album says that Bobby
Brown's hit single
I wanna Rock with you was
originally written for him.
Yeah. By Babyface.
Yeah, he said Babyface wrote.
A rewrite to the shopping song.
Right?
He said baby baby was written by
Babyface.
But he said when he originally
heard it, it didn't sound away that
it ended up sounding with Bobby
Brown.
I could.
See that. Which I like it.
Like, he was like, I can see it in.
And I would imagine he did, because
Bobby Brown and Charlie Wilson are
two different types, two different
types of singers and styles of
singing.
So I would imagine you would have to
tailor it to who is
going to sing the song.
Yeah, but
Charlie Wilson said it.
He didn't necessarily turn the song
down. I guess, like you said, Larry
was just out there shopping songs,
and I guess Louis
went back to Babyface saying he
like, yeah, he didn't.
He didn't like the song. He didn't
want the song. So Charlie Wilson
tha they called
the riff between the Babyface for
like 25 years.
He said he saw Babyface, that
Babyface would talk to him and
he figured it was good because of
that. So but now him and Babyface
are cool and I think they finally
had the understanding they like, oh
no man, I heard the song.
I just never got a chance to respond
and say it like I wanted to, because
Charlie was like, I like the song.
It would have been a good song.
I just didn't get a chance to, like,
actually respond and say that I
wanted the song. So like, yeah, I
wonder what it would have sounded
like with Charlie Wilson or what
that version sounded like.
I think that one, they were still
in the mid to late 80s.
Gabby was still kind of and.
It was just they were still doing
pushing their music.
I don't know what Charlie Wilson's,
drug addiction kicked in though.
I know he talks in depth about that.
So I'm saying, Jim, maybe I don't
know if he's if at that time was
using right mental status.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. By Bragg.
You did stopping.
You top job.
Yeah.
Don't be cool.
He didn't. He didn't say Bobby Brown
didn't do a great job.
Bobby Crew was one of the greatest
on behalf of the world.
When Whitney Houston ran around.
Height of her mind talking about he
was the king of R&B, I didn't argue.
I said right there, you know.
Have you heard? Don't be cruel.
And my art was agree strongly as
well.
Amen.
Look.
Who was that sick with?
Roxanne Blunt with Jamie Foxx.
On my knees.
Right.
My second fact, Devin
Sauer.
You know that. He's.
He's an actor. He was in Founders
Nation. The first one.
The main character.
Oh, yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
So apparently Doctor Dre was a huge
fan of that movie, right?
Which is why Devin Soule ended up
being the main character in the Stan
video for Eminem.
Okay, okay, okay.
That's what's up. That's what's up.
I didn't know his name was Devin
Soule, or I did and didn't
realize it, but.
I know now because I wrote it down.
But if you ask me, we got a who?
Yeah.
Idle hands, which I like.
I like idle hands, like Jessica
Alba.
Like her first big movie.
And, Seth Green, who's in a lot more
stuff that we realized.
Yes.
Yes, he was around a lot.
I mean, people stand by me.
That's the first thing I remember
with me.
What? What do you. That.
He was in it, right? Yeah.
The first the one that came on TV.
He was on that. He was in it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I remember.
He said great, but a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
Even like it was just around
in a lot of places. Man.
He shot Devil Sound, man.
He was in stabbing.
You never thought I was going to go
on.
And where my next fight
involves Tupac, the late, great
Tupac.
I saw an old interview with him
in, Bill Bellamy
and Bill Bellamy asked him, like,
how did, like, his first shows go?
Like, how did you adjust to, like,
doing shows like some of your
first shows? And Tupac was like
you talking about with Digital
Underground or my first show solo
was because Tupac was like
Digital Underground.
They were fun. You know, we did a
lot of stuff that you can't do even
at this point in the night.
He was like, we did a lot of stuff
on stage that you can't do right
now. And I was like, you definitely
do a lot of stuff they was doing on
stage today.
You know?
But he was like his first set of
solo shows as
a solo artist.
You know, his first real big show.
He tried to like, you know, be
bragging and boast about it.
And he's like, I invited Janet
Jackson out. So I took this as this
was when they were shooting Poetic
Justice.
You know.
Black. And he was like, this is
before, like, keep
your head up. And I get around,
like, really took off.
Like, I invited Jan and I thought it
was going to be out there. Like, she
got really like she got, like she
going to enjoy the show.
And he was like, with five people in
the crowd.
He said his first big solo show,
it was five people in
the audience. And he was like, Janet
was there looking around and she
just left.
Then he's like, a month later
is when the songs hit, like,
I Get around and Keep Your Head Up.
And that's when he really took off.
They'd be like, that, man.
I remember, bumby told a story some
like of the Pepsi when they first
came out. You'd be gay.
And they were like, yeah, we just signed.
We're about to go back and take some
do the show. This was like 20.
People did it.
Never mind.
Yeah.
So my last fact is, Austin
based friend of the show may
lack.
Had to me.
Latin great singer, I believe.
At one point her manager
was down with score more.
Yeah, let's go more.
Started here in Austin
before she was a singer.
I think me a lot has a years, a
little mixed up, but that's not for
me to really to judge or decide.
Before she was a singer.
May. Lastly, she was running social
media for Score More.
And then she decided to start
singing around 2012.
Then she's where she is now.
Great factory that's not been out.
Yeah, that was a lot.
I'm sorry. I was like, you should.
I should have let you go.
That I should have told you what the
score was. We can set that up.
Yeah.
That's the day I
told everybody was. I made it.
And had I had it take me on, I would
have been mad at you.
What?
That's wild.
My only killer, Mike, snores.
I was behind him at the Wendy's on
sixth Street. Once it's out by.
You know, I told him I liked that
Cupid freestyle.
He was like, oh, wow. Because I
could probably, like, I didn't even
do that freestyle.
Like, I do.
A great freestyle.
I'm digging into crates.
I'm a listener.
List. Amen. Like I've been.
I have some grind time.
Reb gang gang gang gang.
Yeah, I mean grind town gang.
Bang bang bang.
Red.
What you doing? When they was right,
I put ribbon, but that's a whole
other story.
She was on that album a lot.
Yeah, I forget what it's covered.
But anyway.
Yeah. When did he.
What did he rebel a bad.
But.
Yeah. Hip hop.
That was all the hip hop facts.
Unpopular opinion time with fresh
himself.
So.
Unpopular opinion, man.
This was inspired by a movie I
watched this past week.
What movie?
Die.
The Austin area rapper died.
Sent me a clip of a movie
called havoc.
Came out 2005.
It stars Anne
Hathaway.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
He's been a lot of stuff to.
Channing Tatum, some stuff that
you don't need to mention, like this
movie.
And, Mike Vogel.
It's about these
suburban L.A.
kids coming from well-to-do,
rather rich families, and they just
get bored with their teenage life
and start to engulf themselves into
the street life
of East L.A..
And it's a it's
the a rather unknown independent
film.
In the clip I saw.
They had the whole lingo,
I guess, what they would call a
quote unquote urban lingo.
You know, they were wearing the
baggy clothes, sagging their pants
and all of it.
It was hilarious.
When I saw the clip.
I was like, yo, what is that like?
Is that Channing Tatum?
Is that Anne Hathaway?
I was like, oh, I gotta watch this.
Early in the movie, Anne Hathaway
saying in word from saying in two
parts, how do you want it?
She said it twice.
I was like, hey, yo, what
is this?
Then I realized it was Joseph
Gordon-Levitt with this horrible
voice that he was using in
oh my God.
Channing Tatum barely had Aladdin,
and you only had like, maybe
three lines in the entire movie
in the collective, probably like ten
minutes on screen.
But it was crazy and it got me
thinking about something later on in
the movie.
And Hathaway is
engulfed with this East L.A.
Hispanic gang right
now, 16th Street.
And she's in this hotel, this motel
room with them.
And I don't know if they were
playing Yahtzee, shooting dice or
what.
They had a.
Cup and like seven dice, and I was
like, they playing Yahtzee?
I had the Waze character I was off
at, like, you know, how do we
be down with the crew?
How do we be down with your crew out
of you? How do we do this?
And.
The do tell a will know how
to do it the way that all the women
that you see here like get down with
it. And it was a sexual act.
It was a sexual act.
We'll get into details about it
when they go into the room.
That's what you start with the date.
They go into the room and then
whatever transpire, everything that
transpires transpires.
And you do.
See a popular opinion.
I'm getting to it to do tells
the news.
Trailer.
And to do to Anne Hathaway's
character is I don't know where you
belong, but it's not here.
Like whatever it is that you think
you got, you don't like, you don't
have it and you don't really have
real. You got everything that you
think this is from
music and from TV.
I have to say The Last Dance.
And then I got it.
And that's what inspired
my unpopular opinion that
music and film
does, in fact, influence
someone's.
Mindstate in everyday
life and how they live their life.
I'm not saying it inspires
every single person that listens to
a rap song or a country song, or
sees an action packed movie,
and they can go out and be
terminated. I'm not saying it.
I'm not saying that every single
person who sits down to play GTA
v, they can live the life of GTA,
but.
However, there are some
people.
Who see that, who hear the music,
who see the movies, who play
the video games and think,
I could do that.
Let's see. Real fun.
And that's all that they thinking it
is, is fun
and that they see that.
And so I could go out, do that and
then don't ever really be happening.
And then like in the movie,
they end up in a very real
situation where
there are very real consequences.
Like she ended up being arrested for
crack, like being out running
around with little 16th Street
Gangster and being locked up and
her parents being infuriated.
And like I say, she came from these
very well-to-do home
and everybody
was trying to figure out like, why
are you doing this?
Another part of the movie was it was
this other character, and he was
kind of making a documentary.
Well, I think like a class or
something.
And he was filming all
of these and.
When Channing Tatum
juggles character Mike
Vogel's character, find out what
happened to a head that was kicked
in a frantic little motel room.
Do they want to be big gangsters and
grab guns?
And Eddie going looking for these
East L.A. gangbangers?
And that's what's started really
getting real.
And like I said, it got me thinking.
You see on internet about all of
these kids who come
from suburbia and
they come from these world to do
two parent income households
living a nice life.
But for some reason they
are fascinated with and want to
live this life of someone
who comes from
a not so great area or a not so
great side of town, that people that
come from living in housing projects
and from low income side of town,
and people who live a street life
not because they thought it's
cool, but because it's out of a
necessity.
Because and this is how I eat.
I didn't chew and wake up one day
just say, oh man, I had to be.
I had to be a drug dealer.
This is something that was thrusted
upon them in a circumstance
they call for.
Or they at least Dean call
for it. And you have these kids
who listen to the rap music
and who watch these movies, listen
to.
The rap.
Music and indie
and know how they sound.
But you have these kids who listen
to the music and watch the movies
and think that, like that, life
is so engulfing and cool
to be a part of
and then try to be a part of it all
up until something
real transpires.
And now they don't want to be a
part, and now they realize they
don't want to be a part of that.
But at the end of the day, they
get to run back to their regular
life that they was living like
nothing ever happened.
Like, you spoke about Miley Cyrus
and a lot of white artists, they
stand next to the rappers.
They want to do all the rap rap
artist things.
They want to wear all the jewelry.
They want to stand
in the video, they want to work with
the rap producers.
But as soon as something gets
too real or the album didn't sell
the way they want it to sell, or
they start being looked at a certain
way, they run away from it and
they go right back to being
whatever it was they were before.
We've seen it with Miley Cyrus,
we've seen it with Post Malone
saying, if you really want to feel
something, don't listen to rap
music. You got to listen to somebody
like Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's great,
but don't tell me rap music doesn't
invoke any type of feeling.
We've seen Justin Bieber do it.
He wouldn't hang around twist no
more. Twist got arrested
and beat up the.
Audience starts
with it.
But you see it happen
in real life.
And you see these kids
from suburbia and not just white
kids as Black kids and Hispanic
kids. They grow up in very well to
do neighborhoods, but they
all of a sudden get engulfed in
think that this lifestyle,
this certain lifestyle is so fun
and, you know, I'm bored over
here. I'ma go over here and slum it,
or I'm like, I could be a gangster.
I can be out there in the streets.
And you go out there playing in the
streets, they going to play right
back with you. And you're not going
to like the way that the game goes.
But they have the privilege of
being able to run back to
this nice, safe suburban
neighborhood.
In his mind. Part of the p.
Washed our rambling.
I live for it.
I think if
you watch a movie or listen to a
song and influence
you to make bad decisions, you're a
straight up idiot.
I don't disagree, but it happens.
I think people just need to take
responsibility. I did it cause I
wanted to.
I don't think it influenced people
as much as people think.
I just think that when it does
happen, it's so extreme.
Then it becomes like this singular
thing. I'm always careful to say
stuff like that, but then you start
saying like, see the laws, Tucker.
And like.
You know, like rap music is
destroying the youth.
I don't think rap music.
Got about Elvis Presley shaking his
hands was destroying the youth.
Wow.
So I
don't think that.
If you know me, you know I don't
have fur.
I'm one of the furthest ones from
believing that rap music is
destroying the youth.
I do, however, think that
certain people like you say, yeah,
they hear and they are idiots
and won't admit that they're idiots,
but I think they listen to it and
think they like this lifestyle seem
so enticing that
I could do that, man.
I could go out there and beat it and
it won't. Nothing ever happened.
And then something ends up
happening.
And now you got to deal with those
consequences.
When it influences something good.
People kind of brush it under the
rug when it's bad.
It's this other thing, and I.
I kind of put it into the same
category of when people say
that, oh, rap artist
rapping about violence
is shows their character.
Like, I know a lot of older people
think that Black or white, whatever.
I'm sure I know some.
But nobody says Denzel
is being ultra violent. He's made
three equal out of movies, and he
killed 100 people in the last one.
That's very violently.
Yeah, that was very bad. I liked
movie very bad.
But, I just don't like the
argument that it influenced me.
I'm not saying you're saying that,
but I know people who really, like,
lean into that. Like, especially me
as a DJ, places
where they're like, hey, man, you
got to be careful playing song to
talk about killing us that N-word,
because it makes Black people get,
you know, violent.
Like what? Racist?
Yes. Very racist.
That's racist.
And so I'm always like,
man, I've been so many plays and
seen fights break out to whatever
kind of music. And it's funny that
people always equate violence to rap
music when there's so much footage
of rock fest and just people
losing their minds.
But yeah, I don't, I don't know, I
just feel like people
who watch that kind of stuff are
getting influenced by we're going to
get it. They were just looking for a
reason. They were going to do it
anyway.
I can agree with that.
I, I just don't discount
the influence that that was
something that they saw in whether
they were going to do it or not.
They saw that any kind of
help pushed him toward making that
final decision or whatever.
Idiots. So.
And now
let's get informed on the
current events of the
week.
Here is confusion.
Reads the.
News. News time.
Yes, yes, yes.
I was looking at the news this
morning. It helped me avoid traffic.
Going somewhere this morning.
Oh, look at that.
People. I don't know why you watch
the news. You're an idiot.
Whether.
I enjoy knowing things
that are happening.
Supreme court is now listening to
arguments about Trump's eligibility
on the Colorado
ballot because they took him off for
inciting an insurrection.
So I'm guessing Trump is going into
this thinking, you know, I point, I
live here, I'm good. But I
you know, it's.
Not how it works.
Especially when the Supreme Court
realizes we're gonna be here longer.
You also we outlive the president.
So apparently, Chief Justice
Roberts is signaling some skepticism
over arguments from Trump's
challengers.
Do I think that they will
they will uphold Colorado's
decision. No, I think to reverse it
partially. I'm on the side of they
should only because I'm all for
Trump losing the old fashioned way.
The way he lost last time just
having less votes.
So we'll see how that plays out.
Nikki Haley came in last place
in the Nevada primary.
It's a nonbinding primary, but
the person who won the Republican
primary in Nevada was none of
these candidates.
Well, people selected that did.
They did Nikki Haley.
It also didn't feature President
Donald Trump. He wasn't on that
ballot.
Wait wait.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait.
Wait wait.
They select all of those people
selected none of these
candidates.
Yeah.
Basically, Trump wasn't ordinary.
Trump was kind of his bypass.
You know, like that. I understand
why there's no book.
It's not a binding primary.
Who cares?
Nikki Haley was on Saturday Night
Live this past Saturday.
Now, you don't say that tonight.
But one last, she opened the,
opening.
No, she did the cold open.
That's what I call it. Cold.
They were mimicking a town hall with
her asking Trump questions.
Not a fan of that.
I'm trying to normalize.
I understand said our lives, things
like we always dive into politics.
But I tried that when Trump was
running in the. You end up
regretting it.
So I'm a fan of keeping certain
people away from.
Big platforms, but they go off.
Do you, do you?
Speaking of things that shouldn't
happen. Coke has a new flavor.
Again?
Yes. Coat spice.
Zero sugar raspberry.
Look at me. They come out every
other six months with a zero sugar,
zero calorie diet drink.
Yeah, it, it's trying
to appeal to younger drinkers.
What I say, and I've been saying it
for years. We're going to realize in
like 50 years that soda's probably
one of the leading cause of cancer,
because there's no healthy qualities
about soda in any way, shape or
form.
The same way people thought cigarets
were cool back in the 50s.
They realized, wait a minute.
So a lot of cancer going around
here. These kill from
my my lung. So Black.
Oh, that's going to be sold at some
point. So I think Coke
knows that like this is really
first of all, let's just be honest
here people.
If you think Coke is any part
healthy, you're just clearly
delusional.
Hot Coke can take the corrosion of
a battery, a car battery.
So what's that?
What is inside your body?
What you think it's doing?
So I think Coke try to realize like,
yeah, we're going to end up losing
the youth at some point.
Let's make a new hip flavor.
Because lord knows when you're
thirsty you ask yourself,
Does Coke everything new out?
Yeah.
No coke in a smile.
Marketing campaign.
Bingo.
Bingo. Say, man, you came in the
time when we had to invent a machine
with the big buttons on it.
We're like somebody said when you
came out of the machine, it's not
like it was shooting at you.
So.
Du du du.
Du du du du du du. Like hot.
Dog.
Where's the soda? Coming out.
Somebody shooting it. Reload!
No!
You okay?
Oh. This one.
All this for a soda?
And anytime I go to the vending
machines, I never saw all the new
options. Like, now I'm going to have
to be great, bro. I'm not having
anything.
I'm here for what? I know.
Jimbo doesn't.
So good luck on that one.
Coke. I'm all for it, man.
I mean, I guess, but like I said,
every six months they come out with
something with zero sugar or zero
calories or.
No, no like they
are. They got this just like a new
Diet Coke.
They got like eight of those.
Oh, what was that?
Was the new Coke they dropped.
What was that? Yeah.
New girl, like New Coke.
And it was like, that was like zero
sugar. Oh, like half a half the
calories in, like, bro, is this.
Yeah. I was just taking Diet Coke
and just put a different label.
Oh, it's like when they do,
some cigarets. The supposed to be,
like, healthier, not menthols.
It's.
I have no idea which is on a
cigaret.
I forgot what it's called me because
I don't smoke cigarets, obviously,
but it's something they try to
advertise. Like it's healthier, like
bro. Still cigarets.
The cigarets.
Right?
I know people who have, like, issues
with their sugar that they can't say
no to soda.
Sorry, blue. I got zero sugar Coke.
I'm like, just don't drink soda.
Yeah, like, how about you just stop
doing that?
It is an addiction.
Caffeine is a drug is an addiction.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know some people
that have been fighting it and
finally, you know, able to like
I'm cool, man. I don't really need a
soda.
You take a while, you
drink it every day.
This is the only time I try to bring
them this person, but they just an
idiot. So I've got to dive into it.
Christian rock.
Oh my God.
I have every iteration of
her name muted on Twitter.
Same, same.
It's not even close.
Like hashtags.
Name everything.
Yeah, I don't want your name spelled
together. Name cell spirit I got
Sean and Chris muted I don't want
to see none of that.
But I got to get into Amanda's news.
So recently she was on Instagram
lavish. She said that the
Palestinians are going to what
they're going through because they
don't believe in Jesus.
So that's why it's happening, right?
Like all of them people bowing down
with their carpets that's on the
floor. They're praying down to God.
They said to worship his son, to
accept his son first, and
then they making big palaces out of
it, like they really standing and
sticking behind it like they made
laws about their religion.
She also added, Where Jesus was
born, that they over there believe
in something that totally have
nothing to do with them because I
seen videos where they pray that
there's cockroaches and infested
with what is God trying to tell us?
oh. My goodness.
I'm sorry bro.
I mean, you did. I get it two weeks
in a row. I'm gonna get this off.
You're an idiot. That's fair.
That is fair.
She's an idiot.
Whatever side you on with this
Israel and Palestine conflict.
Please, God, don't ask for anything
else.
I knew she wasn't bright.
I mean, she has a whole man's face
tattooed on her.
Cheek, but I didn't know
that she was the dullest highlighter
in the box.
Like the dried, the
the most dried up doll.
You don't have to show up his knife
to draw. She's the spoon.
Like it's like
that goes to the candlestick.
When that Dave Chappelle famously
said about you, I rule 911.
Who gives a F what Keyshawn thinks?
Why y'all ask her about anything?
Why do I care what she thinks about
the Palestine, Palestinian and
Israeli?
I wouldn't ask for directions up the
street, let alone about a conflict
in the Middle East.
Are you.
Crazy?
How to make Kool-Aid?
They don't worship you.
You know, if you want a good
biblical, you don't get tattoos,
right? Especially if somebody's face
on your cheek and on your throat.
Man, don't get me started.
You don't get biblical, you know?
You know, no Islamic people
believe in Jesus, too, right?
You know, he mentioned in the
garage.
More than he is.
But like.
Man, don't get me started.
Oh my goodness.
Idiot.
Speaking of people who don't seem to
be that smart, the Republicans,
you know, this whole thing I talked
about this last week, the border
crisis.
They originally
submitted a proposal that
Biden eventually got behind
one of the most far
right border proposals
in recent history.
Biden got behind it
super strict.
But what ended up happening was.
Donald Trump got wind of this and
told Republicans shut that down
because I'm not trying to have this
bad get a wind when I'm trying to
run for reelection.
So some Republicans torched
their own bill when it came time to
vote for it.
They are going to get something that
they want it. And he said,
hey, yo, he can't get one win while
I'm running.
Yep.
And they put it in the trash can, he
said.
Yeah. Some dummy
Republicans I.
Had to win like you had.
That's that's literally like
being on the fast break in a
basketball game, having the.
Fans go back for three points,
having a.
Clear break away. Dougie, I was
saying no, no no no no no, back up,
back up, back up to the three.
Back up to half court.
And you go and you go back to the
three point line of defense.
Had now has time to get back in
center Steph Curry.
Steph Curry it.
Yes. And it basically says what
happened is what's funny is in my
opinion Biden gets a win no matter
what. Because if you torpedo it
which they did, then back and say
look I, I get this, I was out
before. Y'all have been on my butt
about the border foot since I got
here.
And I'm giving y'all and in and
saying, okay, look, I'll blast
what you're asking for.
But then I shut it down.
But I also had they pass it through.
He can say, well, look, I didn't.
I'm strictly on the border anybody's
ever been. I can use this against
me. But, you know, like I said, the
GOP is so loyal to Trump is it's.
Yeah, it's funny because there was,
Senator Lankford on the House
floor said it. He said, we can not
do this because if Biden would get a
win, he said verbatim.
So see, that's where loyalty
is detrimental.
Yeah. That's when loyalty being
so loyal to somebody is
just detrimental.
You had to win.
And like you said, nobody can say,
oh, well I was there, I was I
was for it. I was going to sign it.
We was there we you y'all had to
win.
And then y'all y'all torched you.
Also, the Republicans were trying to
impeach the guy that's over the
border Patrol.
I forgot his name.
I forgot the name of the title, too.
That's my fault. I should look that
up. But they were planning to
impeach him because they expected
that Democrats would have all the
votes to block him.
But the one vote Democrats needed
Senator Al Green from
Texas, who was having surgery that
day, who they thought would not be
there. They wheelchair his ass right
on in there. Take that vote.
Stealing no
show to.
That that.
Every no I know, man.
But, yeah, they with him in there.
He was able take the vote.
Mike Johnson, the speaker of the
House, said, you know, we just
anticipate that all the Democrats
would be there, which in turn,
Hakeem Jeffries, who the Senate
minority leader, say it ain't
no job to be there, not
to say no injury report.
Would you like to.
See us when.
You got there? You going to be
there.
Saying, quote, we ain't got to tell
you what witness is going.
To be. Exactly.
So that impeachment didn't go
through because Republicans can't
get they still get Nancy Pelosi got
on TV and said, don't be on the
floor if you ain't got the votes.
That's how this work.
Is.
Not seen. Schoolhouse Rock.
Let.
People have it.
Yeah. And then finally, Mo'Nique was
on stage with Shannon Sharpe.
I didn't even change the name.
Yeah, it's weird, but it wasn't as
controversial as people made it out
to be. A lot of stuff she said she'd
already said before calling out
Tyler Perry for messing up career
and her grievances with Oprah.
I agree with you on the sense of
over bring it. You bring it on.
My brother, who? You know, there's
some things to me as a child.
I don't think that's cool.
And then you bring my mom and dad on
there, like, come on, you do a lot
over
that. Tyler Perry's never been the
allegations.
But yeah, you know, I understand
Monique's point of view more so now
than I did in the past, saying
I do think, like, she still had
issues with D.L. Hughley did that.
You know, she was supposed be the
headliner here, the headliner,
whatever.
I just don't agree with that because
she brought his child, you know, to
drag my family to come wherever you
want to be. You got it.
You know, this don't have nothing to
do with them.
You know, try to use my child's
trauma as a way that.
Yeah, that was me.
That was low.
But I'm a fan of hers, and I
understand she's coming from what
her point of view?
The Janet shop is actually a really
good interviewer. Charlamagne to God
also apologize Mo'Nique for give a
Donkey's day years ago saying he'd
fully understand the situation,
but it was good interview.
Like I said, I was begging people
give him credit for that. He had a
country accent that he can't
interview, but he's he's better than
DJ envy.
Like you say on it.
I understand Monique's point of view
more now than before,
and I do a lot of I do think, like
she said, only a lot of people just
looked at it like, yeah, this is a
great message and a great sentiment
that you pushing, but we just
don't want to hear from you.
Yeah. And I think that's just really
what it is, is
sometimes you just don't want to
hear something from certain people
and.
What can you do? Right?
And when he has a, you know, flowers
and everything. But you know it was
good interview. I appreciate it and
it changes job because everybody
thought, oh well you can't say that.
No, my friends, you go,
there you go. We get it, chance.
You know people I'm trying to he
just she's like, you should get over
a Tyler Perry on.
He said I know Monet not coming over
here.
See daddy, come right here, bro.
Definitely.
No, you maybe get Tyler, but.
Even a maybe.
Well, Kevin, I got him.
Kevin. How can it be for Jake?
Well, Kevin Hart doesn't have
anybody else coming on a disparaging
here.
So big facts.
