Big, big, big, big money. He's the money. Mike's a walk on song should have been. Don't stop believing by journey. Oh dude, we love that song way too much, but listen, let's stop fucking around and come in a boar shit back again. It's been months when you get dark zero.zero, Dar. You never know what to expect.Danny.Danny pulling up on my family mother fucking right. Well, the fucking dude Danny sent, I mean, you were heading, and I don't know if everybody knows along with being motherfucking GI, Joe, and about that, a fucking super dad and a million other things. This mother fucker does. He's an incredible fuck photographer and great video of a great eye.And he was, he liked took off in between. When we last talked in him, he was really starting to kind of like engage and then we just lost sight of Danny. But all of a sudden, we started seeing him emerge on the digital world websites, a social immediately. You start seeing what this dude started, opening up a fucking can of fucking bad-ass shit.Wait a second. W w what did he emerge with, like, what is it fucking that whole modal inner city Moro, meek mill. I don't even know what you call there, riding with all the motor and the quads and everything fucking dropped in deep into that world. He'll tell you you've been bouncing from fucking Florida to fucking Philly, to fucking SF to New York.All the cities dude, like end it with these cats, representing soul assassin, cookies, and fucking capturing all this videos and photography. Correct. How did you come up? How did you come up with. Um, actually right after I did this, I had went to Florida with some friends and they introduced me to it. Cause I was, I just didn't want to be in the same lane as everybody else in our crew and everything.So, you know, I wanted to do my own thing and kind of branch off. Yeah. Even though it wasn't like part of our normal get down, you know what I mean? I seen something that was going to be bigger than people seeing over here. How did it, how did, how did it start out? Like a moon? When did you first, like in your mind, somebody come up and say, bro, you gotta check.No one of my friends at the time, she, uh, told me to come check this out. And I thought it was dope because I'm into extreme shit. So I've rode bikes before I did all that, I almost killed myself on our bikes. I was like, this is right up my alley. Let's go check it out. And I went out there and it was a wrap.After that you go out to check, you know, you talking about Florida. Okay. So when you go out to check something out, how do you, what, what gear do you bring with, are you bringing any gears? It's just, you know, I went out there and I had my camera there. But I just went out there and not knowing like, and it's different, like shooting action stuff is way different than, oh, I'm going to shoot this broad.That's half naked, like standing still, this is like, you have a moment to catch it and then it's gone. You can't replicate that scenario again in traffic live shit. Not like let's set up a whole thing. It's fucking at high speeds, dangerous oncoming traffic on top, all that. Right. So then let's, let's look at it.So it's kind of like it's, I mean, maybe it's a little bit like trying to capture nature. There's no redo it's whatever's happening right in front of you. Like hunts, kills audits, everything falls out. People wrecking, everything. I got all that kind of shit. Cops chasing us. Like every single thing that you could imagine.Uh, I've had it on camera. And how immersed is hip hop into that movement? Oh yeah. You'll see. In every music videos nowadays, it's huge. You'll see music videos. There's people on dirt bikes or these rappers that are, want to get dirt bikes and start doing shit. And, well, wait a second. Now, is it dirt bikes or is it rice rockets?No, no, no. We're talking dirt bikes.and four wheelers. Like how is that? Let me ask you this. How is it a hip hop, dirt bike? Would it be different or tricked out in a different way than a regular dirt bike or is it no, it's not even about the thereby being tricked out or nothing like that. It's about just your style, your riding, the vibe you bring, like everybody on a bike is literally on a bike to get away from shit.That's going on with. You know what I mean? So help me out a second here. All right. Dang. Cause I'm in, I'm in the world from the fashion standpoint or from the apparel standpoint industry, it's all our stuff, but at S so let's just say it was about 2011, maybe 2012, and I'm running, you know, sales marketing over at young and reckless.Right. And we engage in meek and we decide, we think at that point in time, that it's a good idea. We're just kind of being turned on to this whole Moto thing around 2012, but it's coming to us through meek mill where we know that it's in some other places, but there isn't a big face behind it, like meek was right.So we, we were like, you know, some of our guys were out there checking shit out, and then they came out here and brought their bikes. Chickpeas meat comes from Philly to LA and they have all their bikes fucking trucked over. Right. Zach goes to fifties quads and I throw out the idea to drama and D amen.Less. Cause we're going to do a shoot with him for young and records. I go, well, why don't we have a Stefan do the photo shoot and the video let's do it all. So we got to step on and we went out to the fucking dunes and fucking, we filmed this thing and I was blown away in real life. What that shit was when they mobbed out.And there was about, they had about 20 guys and 20 bikes. I mean, quad bikes, everything. And they were in LA and, uh, it was, the shoot was powerful, man. It had, it was dope, man, to see it, man, Steven did it got dope shit. And that's kinda how I got introduced. And that's what started introducing me to looking further into it and seeing.How this, this movement was spreading bro, and very deep and like the Northeast and some of the Southeast and super particular areas, you know, and how engage our, how many mashed hip hop was all this man, the hood, and like all that it's, it comes from that. We graduated from bikes, bicycles, you know, now the hood said, fuck it.We're going to get on a real bikes. Like that's the. Like we don't ride around on a bicycle bicycles, no more, this shit. We're 21, right? The smallest thing they're riding or those little fucking mini bikes. Right. Because I see those, I seen cruiser them that got him going 40 miles an hour yesterday, kids on the, on, in downtown LA where me and Mike been talking about doing something with cookies with them.I rode from downtown yesterday, all the way to, to Venice and fucking through sunset Melrose, everything. And there was a mini bike that was rocking with us the whole time. Really? Yeah. He was just, oh, we slowed down. We don't go fast because we're on quads. So we're just willing and. Yeah. Taking our time.We're not trying to speed Willie. And he was chilling. We'd have to stop a bunch just because it's gas. But after a while he was like, I might head back. We're like, yeah, cool. We were done babysitting running, but yeah, they're outside. Everybody's outside. And that's funny that you said the thing about meek, because one of my boys, one of my really good friends in the shit, he's a clutch, the bike star.He's he's from New York. Right. So me and him got super close. That's my boy clutch. Yeah. Clinton's from New York. Yeah. So there's and there's cliques within all of this shit. So that's what I heard. Yeah. So he's a bike star. So like they're their own click, like, so they got people all across America that they think that I wrapped them, wrap them that put them was for me.Right. It's like a hood, like right. They put them on now. They're whatever their name is. Club. Yeah, exactly. So name plus bikes are so. He's my boy. So he's like come out to New York, come out with me. Boom. He's like, all right, we're going to go do some show and ride that de. Pop up, fly to New York, hop in the car.He's got all kinds of weed for me. He's like here, what do you want? Whatever flavor you want. All right. Go to the mechanic. He's got phentenol Xanax, uh, nothing like that. So then we go, he's like, we're gonna go to the mechanic and leave your bag over there. I was like, all right, cool. Boom. We leave my bag.Don't even go to the house, hop on bikes and heads. Like heads-up really shit. Yeah. Fucking show up, bro. I didn't even sit down. I got hopped right on the bike and we rode all the way at the time. Square met up with meek mill, Jim Jones and all of them and rode through times square and all that shit with me within like hours of getting a fucking bad ass thing.Getting off of the fucking bike off the plane. I was on a bike with me. I was like, this shit is crazy. Mixer for going through times square. Like when you're going through times square like that, you're just like in awe, like, and everybody's there at times square to look, look at times square, but they're all looking at you and you're just like, that's the biggest stage that you, you know what I mean?Look at that shit, bro. It's crazy. I think it's dope, bro. Do you have a up for a camera on your bike so that you can. So you got like a, what? A golfer, like I'm like wondering no, wait, why you ask that? I've been wondering this whole time. What the fuck are you doing? Like, are you doing this shit? That's what, like, even my boy, one of our boys, the other day, we had a huge ride.I went through a huge here for MLK and had like hella bikes, probably a thousand bikes out here, riding with us right from across the nation. Like they came, right. So we're riding out there and we get off the bike and he's like, bro, how the fuck do you do. Because I literally have a camera set up for you to shoot with your right hand.Right. But the throttles on the right hand. So I'm on a quad too. So I use, I, Willie, I do everything too. So I'll fucking be riding, have my camera strapped around my neck, get in position, put my left hand across my body to grab that. And the whole time I'm shifting downshifting with my left foot, just engaging with the, you know what I mean, the gears without a clutch.And then I'm still leaning over lane down, like shooting pictures and doing all that shit at the same exact time, bad ass. So my boy. Bro. How the fuck do you usually people will be like, all right, we'll get a quad. I drive and you'll be on the back and you just shoot. Right, right. But I do it all by myself because, well, I got tired of fucking, I don't want to be a man on another man's back like that.Like, here's on the left side for it. You know what I mean? You could do well. Yeah. But, but, but do you think it changes the quality of your shots that you're engaged in activism? I probably miss some, but I make so many more than you miss a lot, but you know me, nobody can, right. Ain't nobody ain't told me shit.Ain't nobody shooting and doing that shit. Like. Doing the passenger word that I'm doing. Like, I don't give a fuck. Right. That's like some Vernor Hertzog shit, man. That's like, those are the types of documentarians that like get into the actual fucking thing and they're shooting it, directing it, you know, doing it and all that other stuff.Like yesterday, I, I wrote, I wrote, I didn't take my camera. Not nothing even my boys are like, man, west don't even want to fucking take pictures no more. He's just enjoying himself so much. And sometimes it's like the I'm not always out there just to take pictures. I want to go out there and to myself too, it just so happens.That that's what I do. But that's part of your, your lifestyle. Yeah. So you're working in, but you want to be able to put up the worksheet and your people and your shit. Yeah. And so when you go out to Florida and you're kind of, sort of being introduced to this and is that the time that you got hooked up with whoever.That was the time when I clocked in with started seeing this shit and building these relationships. And then once I got back over here, and it's weird though, because over there you see if I go over there right now, they're at the very beginning of their low-rider community really taken off now. So we're at the very beginning of our bike life stuff taken off.So it's like, I seen the exchange of culture starting to grow on both sides right now. Just, you know, I'll say I, because I've written quads all my life. Right. But I was like on a reservation or I was out in the sticks. So I wasn't. Doing anything in the…

All right, listen, that's true.Esteban, uh, the Cyprus tell us the high point of working on the Cypress hill documentary and exactly what are it, what is the subject matter besides Cypress? So what are you actually capturing? Yeah, man, I'd say the high point is finishing it. And, uh, um, what was the second part? What, what is it about all that it's about, uh, 30 years of their career?Um, you know, uh, in the beginning we tell a little bit of the story of where they all came from. Uh, Sen dog came from, uh Goolwa and then Bobo was a. He's Puerto Rican, but I think his family came from the east coast and landed here in LA mugs was from New York. Then he later on came to LA and be real, was born and raised here in LA.And then, uh, the way they all met up and how they did the group, you know, put the group together and shop the deal. And, you know, from there on, it was just, you know, like a snowball and when, so we're now in a new era of kind of like filmmaking, I think, where it's not right. So when Showtime time, or how did that project come together?Well, um, well, I've been, uh, trying to do this project for maybe 10 years and, uh, it took Ella originals to bring it back to me or bring it to me because, uh, you know, I think the homeys probably thought like, ah, Maybe I could do music videos, but maybe not, you know, pull together on a full, full feature movie.I know for a network. And so they had other people in mind and uh, other people working on it, but that didn't work out or those guys didn't come through. Right. So, uh, Ellie originals came out and, and they were like, Hey, what do you think about, you know, maybe you working on the document. I was like, you know, it sounds a good idea to me.Right. And, um, you know, just got right back right back to it. And, uh, it feels kind of like, um, my original idea would be to do like a four-part series. Like a Jimmy I've been in Dre did, uh, the defiant ones kind of like do that, but on the solar Sassons cause you know, we have, you know, so much, so many different people in our group, in our crew that.Uh, you know, there, there they're artists that are, you know, go, go through all the different forms of art from music to film, to, um, fashion and then art film and video. So we got people in all those different realms of art, and I thought it'd be cool to do a documentary from there. And then, because there wouldn't be enough time to tell all the stories, then we break it off and go into individual stories like Cypress hill, meaning cartoon, um, the house of pain, you know, like, uh, uh, the rest of the crew, you know, the, the dilated peoples and the funk dubious.And, you know, there's a chasing Cron, Don, you know, there's a lot of different, uh, you know, uh, there's James Khan, the hooligans with, uh, I mean, uh, Scottie con and Al you know, Scotty's James concert. Right. So, you know, that there's that big, uh, uh, you know, big, how would you say, uh, like they, they left a big mark in the film industry, right.In film and in TV. And then, uh, you know, they're calling alchemists one of the greatest producers alive, you know, those years. So yeah. You know, our crew goes deep into every different, uh, form of art. And, um, and I also got members that are kind of like part members from other groups. So you got these, like the Rizza you don't, or like their part soul Sassons kind of too, right?Yeah. I mean, you know, mugs did albums with pretty much everybody in, and he's done remixes for, you know, huge people and, uh, also too. Anyways, well that didn't work out, you know, doing it that way. So we, we went to, we did LA originals and so I feel kind of like, this is kind of like part two, but, you know, we're, we're moving up to right where I wanted to start.Right. But it's going, it's going the opposite way, but it's still, it's still delivering you a place that you're able to tell all the stories that you want to tell. Yeah. You're the one that can only tell those stories. You want to be able to get them out. This is heading that direction it's still on is I would say maybe more than 10 years that he's been talking about multiple documentaries, this in particular Cypress hill souls, but there's a bunch of things you've been talking about for a long time and, you know, but I think it's also jumaan if you were there, like maybe some of us are there, this is the ultimate example of.Letting go and not trying to force somebody to do something your way and to just back up, let go, and just continue doing your craft. Yeah. And eventually, you know, even with people that are close to you, sometimes they need to see it in different way to be receive it. You know? And I think what he's talking about is really what happened.Well, LA originals drops and people that he's, you know, two seconds from now are seeing him at different light, just because it's been brought to you through Netflix. Another thing that I want to kind of like point out is that Esteban's been focused on this thing for like decades. Right. And in, in, in, in w when you're sitting there like chilling with your friends and stuff and talking about bullshit project, Well, that's the one that's been focused on is almost a no brainer when you pitch it, you go like, well, what about a documentary about Cypress hill?Or what about LA originals? Meaning cartoon, right? That's a no brainer. Like you don't really no brainer now. No wait, but wait, but what I'm saying is, is that it's a no brainer even five years ago, really? For us. Yes. For us. Yes. But the point of the matter is, is that it's a project that anybody, it makes sense.And then, but Esteban's been on it for a long time. So what happens is I've experienced this even with just talking to U S Devonta, talking to people that are around us, I've experienced situations where people are like, all right, let's make this film tomorrow. Right. Right. And then, uh, Esteban's like, yeah, it doesn't necessarily work that way.Yes. Right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, there's people that have been in something maybe four or five, six years. Right. And they're frustrated because they want the thing made already. And it doesn't go like that all the time, man. I'm all the time. Mostly doesn't go that way. And so, and so I don't have a lot of experience with it.I know you step on that and I know you do because I've seen it time and time again, person just sees somebody on fricking Netflix or whatever, and they think like, oh, so we can just make that tomorrow. They don't realize the thing that hit Netflix is 10 years in the making 20 years or in the making. So that's the one, I mean, you've got a very, um, I would say crafted style about your persona and you don't, um, just stipulate, outrageously or yell necessarily.And people around, you got all these brilliant ideas that you've already thought of and tried to get them excited about 10 decades ago. And now they're coming to you. Like it's a new idea. How do you remain so Zen about it? Is it the facial hair that kind of has a Japanese twinge to it? Or how do you do it?Um, I would just say, I just keep it moving. You know, I get up every day, hit the sun on the ice and think about while I'm there. That's about an hour and a half, two hour, a little ritual I do every day. That's when I think about what I'm going to do for the rest of that day. Um, you know, of course I think about all the shit that I have coming in the future, but for the most part, I just think about today, you know, cause we all know, all we have is today, yesterday's gone.Tomorrow's not here yet. So I just focus on today and, and the bigger picture, but, um, you know, fucking there's, there's never enough time in the day for me, that's for sure. And uh, I got a lot of, you know, I was looking at this, I was looking at this, uh, at this trailer. From Elliot original started off as a project called Inc the movie.And I'm looking, uh, it was 15 years ago that we put that trailer up on the, uh, up on YouTube 15 years ago. Yeah. Hold on. That's whenthat's, when, uh, you know, that's when that's, when somebody put that up on YouTube, but that was when that was that late originals. Right. And, uh, the, uh, a friend of ours, Sebastian Ortega, the one who, uh, you know, locked in that deal, he came and he was like, Hey, man, I want to do, or I want to do ink, you know…

Welcome to the hard luck show. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you've tuned into the greatest show on earth. It's the hard luck show coming at you from the people.

Um, and the most extraordinary showrunner of them all Mr. Ryan shores. Yep. Hey.Schwartz morning guys, fellows. I'm trying, man, trying, you're trying you're doingis being handled Ali Baba and theUh, you already know what it is. All you on the visuals go, you know what I'll eat. That's the first time I saw you trying to do shit. He was, he was doing stick this time now, you know, it's funny. And somehow that made it not asking, right? Yeah. I just had a warmup. Yeah. Good. All right, good. You're doing cut on it.You're doing look at his face. Ali. Do you like those? Just spin on it with the women's spin on a Dick. Fuck. No comment. exactly what not to go. What road to go down. I ain't even go in there. He didn't deny it. He saidthat's the worst. I was like that, bro. You really lost it on that one. Nice. Okay. Let's do it. Sean's looking at me like where do we go from here? Motherfucker. Do something, motherfucker. What the fuck? I love awkward silence. I do too. It's so it's so. It's something people try to avoid. Like they try to move away from it.All right. Uh, shorts what's on tap. What are we doing? You're in charge of, you know, we can roll it out with the, uh, world war two. And the Eddie Carter that you were telling me about was that the gentleman's name? That Carter Eddie Carter. Yeah. That isn't related to Jimmy. No, but this guy is, his story is amazing too.Mom gave me a little, a little, a preview of it and uh, fucking blew my mind. Hey, um, so, so the really start this out really is to talk about black history month. That's what February is, right? Yup. Ollie, why don't you get on his mic, man? I do consider yourself African-American yeah, he does. He does. All right.So Ali, uh, is black history month. What do you understand about black? Sit down my brother. What do you understand about black history man? A month? It's time to celebrate a culture that has been suppressed from the get go. So it's a time for people who are in color to embrace who they are and be happy in their skin and not try to be any other race.Just like, be happy that you're you. But like, it would be cool if like everyone had their own month to celebrate. Like, I don't want to be like, oh, like just take all the shine. Like everyone should have that opportunity. Hey Ali, do you know how black history month got started? Can you just let me know?Okay. Uh, does anybody actually have any idea how black history month even got stuff? Schwartz and shaking his head, Sean. I mean, do you so black history month? Cause I, I didn't know. I looked it up because I wanted to know. Cause it seems like it feels like you just have these sort of politically quote unquote correct holidays that it seemed like the government put out to try to keep everybody cool and like not pissed off.Right. So I looked it up and it's not that in fact, what it is is black history month started out as black history week and black history week started because a guy who was black African-American went to Harvard. Wooden is his last. Wouldn't and he discovered in all the history books at Harvard that know nothing about black Americans contribution to this country history, anything was in any of the textbooks at Harvard.What year is this? We're talking like 19, early 1900. Right? So he's sitting there and he's thinking, and he starts the first, like African-American academic journal from Harvard. Right. And it's like, he reads through the history books and we're talking college level zero, mention about African-Americans contribution to history.And so he says, fuck it. And he said, we're going to start black history week. Now there had already been before the 19 hundreds, a tradition in the African-American community to celebrate, to celebrate the first week in February already. Does anybody know why? No, because. Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln both had birthdays in that first week.I think a Frederick, I think Frederick Douglas is Valentine's day 14th and what? No, no. I thought Lincoln's was like the 13th or something. It's like the eighth, I believe. Right. So African-Americans were like, that was a major change in our situation. It wasn't fixed. Right. But it was. So that week eventually right.Turned into an entire month as, as more and more folks started to push the idea and the whole cause of it was because, um, only one history was shining at the time of that white history. Well, two things about what you said is one, how many African-Americans were at Harvard or at any of the big universities at that time?That could even point out, oh shit. There's nothing in here. Black contribution to this country. Um, and so I think it's amazing that he did that, but also too, I think it's important for people to know it. Wasn't given black history month. Wasn't given out, you hear all these, maybe it's urban legend, like, okay, it's black history month because it's the shortest month in the year, right?That's a, that's a common joke in the comedy circles. Right. And the truth of the matter is, is it, and this is what really gets fucked up in these situations. Is that the common culture, common sense people, right. They think like, oh, this was dispensed from the government. Right. And it was dispensed out of some feeling of obligation to keep black and it's bullshit.Right, right. It was picked because Abraham Lincoln who fucking defeated the entire south and Emmy murdered motherfuckers, that's really what I wind up when grant did that March to the. Right. He burned crops, salted the earth and it was, it was to break the back of the Southern fuck faces. And I love the south, but I'm also saying a lot of those motherfuckers wanted to keep slavery and place.He's the reason why, uh, blacks, at least slavery ended right now. Frederick Douglas. I mean, dude, none of us talked about Frederick Douglas, that dude was born a slave and he tricked white people into teaching them English. He tricked him into teaching them how to read and write when it was illegal for black people, illegal for black people to read or write.And the whole reason is they didn't want black people reading because if they read, then they would read the Bible. Then they read about the Jews who fucking broke out of slavery. And that might lead to us losing a fucking dope ass system. This is American history. And that's the pur and that's the next, that's the next phase though, is that there's a movement like Morgan Freeman and other folks have said, well, I don't want to call it black history because it's really American history.It is American history. Yeah. It's not black history. The problem is is that if you do. Privilege that piece. It won't be acknowledged. It won't be acknowledged. That's the part that, that a lot of these conservative whites gloss over, that's the hidden power structure behind this dialogue. First, as soon as you say black, it goes into a certain column.Right. But the problem is, is if you don't say black, then the P goes into no column and it goes into zero column. Right. Uh, you would hear people, so that's kind of, you would hear people like, oh, well, black history month and why, why isn't there a white history month? Why isn't there, whatever. And you know, the argument and it's true that if you didn't have that, it wouldn't be at all.And like every other month is white history month or American history month without the inclusion of the African-American contribution. So then how does that, how do you think that plays into American when they are talking about just American history? They have the slaughter of the. And that's just American history.It, that is American history and it should be American history. And then you also have to go in. And so this is what I think personally, I think that it should be approached from, uh, from the angle of a disciplinary angle. For instance, if you were to say the history of automobiles, right. Or the history of gambling or the history of song or the history of America, right.All of that would fit under America, but it's still a category, but it doesn't mean that just because you put it into the category, it's separate and apart from America. Right. So if you said, I want to study heavy. Right. You wouldn't necessarily approach it and say, well, don't call it heavy metal. Cause now you're separating it from music.You would already understand that that's a subcategory of the general category of music. So in this case, the general category is American history. Sub category would be African-American history because you need that kind of detailed study in that little branch of the history in order to bring all those details to life.So that the general category of American history is actually more accurate, not better, not worse, accurate the true story. And so I think when you get bogged down into like the fighting about what, what should we call it and should it be the same and blah, blah, blah. I think there's a place for people to say it's American history, but then I think it makes sense from a, from a intellectual standpoint that you have to label certain things in order to feel.Uh, all of the details in order, but that's kind of what the fight is going on now. You know, a lot of Republicans and people on the right are saying, oh, we shouldn't burden our kids with the fact that there was slavery. Fuck. Or there was prejudice, all these things that, oh, you know, they're going to feel guilty or hate their country.No, they're going to have an appreciation and an understanding from where we were, where we're at now and the road that we can take to go. And you know, those same. I gotta say this. Like when I look at old pictures of slavery and read about it, and I look at the problems that I have today, it just like completely wipes out any little negative thing in my life.Like just comparing like my life to what used to be like, knowing about all that messed up stuff. It's like, it's pretty necessary to know. So you can realize like how far we came and like, damn like life ain't that bad. Like it could be a lot worse. I know about that stuff. You gotta know about it because you got to know it could be worse.You got to know about it, that what people consider golden ages of history, where actually rife with complete violence and injustice so that you don't get some fake ass idea that like, oh, it was all good before, you know, part of the power. People don't understand this, but in our Western thinking, we have a tendency to look back in a direction that everything was perfect.At some past point, there was a garden of Eden. There was no trouble. Adam was walking around naked, his vision was naked and they could do anything and they didn't have to work. And there was no menstruation. There was none of that. It was cool. It was. Now we live in this corrupted society and it's all fucked up.It's actually always been fucked up. That's the first point it's always been fucked up. It's always been corrupted. So in looking at that, I wanted to get that out to make sure that our audience and myself and us are aware that black history month started out because black history was not being taught.And it was only a week. And it was already a tradition of celebrating the fact that Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, right, were people who really advanced. I mean, you can talk all the bullshit you want. You can fucking say all this other stuff. Those are two guys that put their asses on the line.To advance a cause or a people in this country. And, and, and so I think that piece of it is super important and to really the politics of it should be taken out. There should be no question on, in anyone's plate that, uh, the true history of America should be taught to the citizens who are gonna inherit this country.Frederick Douglas, you said he tricked the wipey. Wouldn't teaching him how to read and white. So what did he do with that to help both by being, oh, so he didn't make black history month, but he did was he eventually got himself out of slavery at a time when slavery was still there and traveled through Europe and became emblematic of a guy that showed that African-Americans even see, this is the part that really hurts motherfuckers that are weak.Frederick Douglas showed. You can say, I'm not a man. And you can say that I'm not human and you can put me in jail. But through my own intellect, owls, outsmart you, and I'll make all pain. I'll get myself paid out of this thing. And I'll go on speaking tours throughout Europe and America as a free man.Yeah, he was the, I, I would say during that time, probably the most prominent and respected African-American, um, men, he came out of slavery. Think about, think about being you talk in this country. We all make a big hoopla about being a self-made man. People fucking waxed, you know, Elon Musk's car, because he was like, ah, I, I slept on beanbags and coded all night.Think about Frederick Douglas, what he had to overcome in terms of what he was labeled. The rules were all against him to eventually get to a place where he was free and was able to come and go and places. So Frederick D we could do an entire show. Frederick. Oh, that guy was a real hero. An American hero.I think we should for black history month, I think during this month let's let's do one. I'll do it. I'll do it. You could imagine how crazy it would be if he was living in this time period, like how he would be able to finesse. Cause like that knowledge he has, like, you can't take that away from him. Like when you said like, when you put chains on me, you calling whatever, like you can't change.Like my mom's. Yeah. But, but, but, but hold on a second. All right, but hold on. You're right. But I think a Frederick Douglas came here today. He'd be very disappointed. Oh yeah. Because nobody's working as hard as he did. That's exactly right. That's exactly fucking right. And like you're right. He. W figured out where the freedom is, it's in the mind, but our generations of folks have been so brainwashed by companies like apple, Microsoft fucking Coca-Cola,…

Do it shows I'm welcome. All right. I got lost. Where have you been? Oh man, three weeks, at least three weeks. The last time that we did a podcast, I want to get her a month. I think you've been living in about a hundred. I'm sure he, okay. I'm a little bit, I'm more confused than when we started talking to you.We also have covering as well. Oh yeah. The one and only the reoccurring, the greatest of all time, the one and only the never duplicated, never replicated. No man. The mountain, the legends. Mr.damn on me. I got the connection texting me right now. I'm letting him know I ain't going down.in the middle of all this, this motherfucker is like, how many do you want? How many do you need a trip? No, nothing. I got the connection. He's like, what the fuck, man? I haven't heard from you in two weeks. Like, you know, our camp, you, I don't know what it is. It's like, the way I respond is like, maybe not now, not now, but not today, but maybe not later either.Yeah, but, you know, put that on hold as a matter of fact, you know what, uh, and the dude needs some help, so I might help him. And I might not. Cause the last time I helped him, we both helped ourselves to a little bit. And you know, it was like, you know what, thank God, you know, I'm out of here by mistake. I didn't drive all the way over here to, uh, to, to, uh, to come over here and to judge shit, just to check in with the listener and let them know that, oh man, it's been rough, man.Uh, the 2022 is like a year that I would like to say that, uh, I wouldn't like to restart it or put it behind me because I learned from where I, where I'm at today and where I was yesterday and where I was last week to the following week to this week or whatever we go, we're going to, we're going to have to come in in front of me is the fact that man, I have to take life serious.Cause I've always told the listener that with the program that I run, that this follows me, you're on the menu, you know? And it's like, And death is something that I've been faced with this last few days. You know, it's like, you know, I'm, I'm the type of dude that, you know, if I, if I'm in, if I'm, if I'm doing anything, I'm doing it all the way, you know, I'm not just gonna fuck around and just go in and have a glass of Chardonnay.Yeah. You know, it's like my insight, whether or not I'm, I'm up here, like explaining anything of that nature, whether that happened or not. It's like, well, you just expressed that, that you got the connection texting you. Yeah. Well, the connection has been texting me for 58 years of my life. He might've been text texting me while I was in the fucking womb, you know?And it starts with that, you know, and then, you know, I just want to say, I thank God that I may be here today. I give all my, anything that has stayed, anything that you're going to hear today. I'm not going to get religious and I'm not going to get my, get a little bit spiritual on you. So if you're into some spirituality, spirituality, and the reasons why that I am sitting again, one more time in this seat this morning.And, uh, with the gentlemen that got me here to there, I'll just have to look at it like, oh, well, Smitty's fun to play with these fun, the crown, when he's fun to do a bunch of dumb shit with. But the fact of the matter is at the end of the day, he's also a real crazy. Yeah. You know, he got his ass over here and, you know, we're, we're, we're met with things in life that, um, that we're faced with everybody, not everybody in this room, man.I'm glad to be here. You know, I'm glad I was invited and I'm glad that I still have the opportunity to actually come and be here. Amongst all you gentlemen, not as a man, but as a true miracle in the eyes of know whatever you want to call it. You know, there's some people out there listening, you know, I got my boy, Mr.Cartoon. He might not like he approve of the word, the word God. And he might not approve of whatever, but he does the proven something that keeps him going. And that, that could be his job. It could be his whim, his wife, his children. And that's the, what things that, the important things that I needed to look at today, because I do have.That's very important to me in my life. And when I see my sons looking like they, ain't looking at me on the phone, on the little FaceTime and I see this kids eyes looking at me a little bit, like I've never seen that, right. It's I get away where I'm concerned about your dad. Like I'm a, as my mom, I'm going to turn 12 next month.And a, and I'm not that dumb. And I know you have a look on your face. Like you might be worried about something and for my son to worry about certain things today, when he's 11 years old and pinpoint shit that we could be, I'm only imagine that how would a child can pinpoint something of when they, of something that he sees in me that I'm, that I know I see in myself that he probably sees in myself and I'm just trying to figure shit out another day, but I did make it here this morning.And, uh, and I, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna take a few deep breaths, say a few little prayers because this, for the listener, I want you to know this is probably going to be, um, one of the hardest. You know, like just to be real, you know, it's like I made it and it was, um, yeah, I, I, you know, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you, you know, you face some fucking bullets and you've been dragged through the mud and you did a few, you know, you know, stairs penitentiary, you know, you've been faced with strikes, you've done this, you did that.You know, you know what the fuck to do. So like, you know, another, you know, like everybody's looking at it like, like, you know, you know, you, you're supposed to know, like, you need to just, we need to take you out in the alley and whip your ass a few times. That's how many times. You know, you need to think, you know what you're doing and you don't know what the fuck you're doing, man.Every time we leave, we, we, we put the reins in your hands to drive the horse, the horse fields off the track. And this happens time and time again. And I'm letting you know, like I'm not going to change nothing. There's only one thing I can change in that. And then if you think I'm going to change everything in a date year, two years, three years, six years, one day, two months, one more following moment.Fuck all that shit. All fucking man. But you know what? The fact of the matter is I made it here. I'm taking a lot of advice I'm doing, you know, but I'm not doing everything the way that I should be doing it. I'm doing it the way that I should be doing that guys of like this moment that I made it here and the listener that if you're out, down, I'm letting you know, man, if you're struggling, man, I get it.You know what? I'm going to let you know, you know, like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm open game, you know, you can get at me however you want. You know, I can get it. You know what I mean? I'm still back in the community. I don't stop. You're part of the community. You never left it, but I'm, I'm here, man. And I want to thank you to everybody.Whoever requested that they haven't heard, they haven't seen. You know, it's very important to me to know that I still hold some type of a, you know, a boundary to where I could come and, and express you. But this is probably going to be the most honest expression and that I have for you today, because I'm going to honestly come to this format and let you know that, um, yeah, my shit ain't together, you know, I I'm, you know who who's in actually come up here and go, Hey, everything's great.I got, oh, I got this going on. I got, they're going to have me. Everything's cool. Everything's smooth. Everything's got, you know, right. Not on any of that bullshit. No, man. It's like, I'm here to let you know that, um, what's going on with that giants man. Giants could come to the table, man. I'm a giant, you know, I come to the table and I'm gonna let you know that there's a giant second that, that have fought this thing, man, and have battled it and have, you know, actually stood strong on their own two feet and have one.But Smitty was telling me on the, over, on the way over here, right. When we got in the car, I go, look, man, we just, this could be a little bit, it's a little different way. We're going to have to go about this. We're going to have to get in there and we're going to have to let the listener know that, um, that, uh, everything isn't always going to be, what we're going to feel it's going to be.And that's always running to come with all these things that we're going to come and see all everything's cool. Everything's all right. Sometimes everything. Isn't all right, because part of what is, what would you tell him? I ain't gonna forget cause I fucking stroke. Please try to remember what you told me.Dig deep. You said something about, uh, What would you say? I'm glad you don't remember, because I don't even want to, I don't even know if he knows where he's at right now talking about no, no, no, bro. I didn't warn you about talking about shit, bro. I just told you straight out. You said something about when somebody hits a certain time when they do a, what it starts with an R read labs, what would you say the sentence?What was the sentence when you start relapsing too much or whatever, when you, you really forgot what you said, you said it like in the way that the program states the state of like the 12. You forgot the 12 steps to, well, let me let her know. Listen, I was really thinking was going to let them with the sky was going to park God.And could you forget that? Let me ask you a question. I think I kind of understand and I'm, and I'm not going to try to be disrespectful or anything about what's going on, but that's a hard one. I know it is. And it, and you first and foremost, I want to congratulate you for coming in. Yes, I thank you for coming because I, I want to say that you know how to show roles and all that other kind of stuff.And for you to come in is really in line with the spirit of what the show is, which is honesty, right? Uh, this is the one where like the listener could go look at this poor mother fucker sitting up there and he got guys emotions like this motherfucker, we got there's people out there that will actually take that.Cause they were working on the Eagle type of thing. Well that you don't care about. Anyway. Fuck. Those people hate me, bro. Believe me. It's a lot. I want them off the show. I'm even married to this man that runs the show there. Yeah, man. But I am going to ask you, I'm going to, I'm curious about this at what point and what do you think.Caused the car to go off the rails for you. I knew that I shouldn't see, and I know you tomorrow and I knew that question was like really coming. But if like, like if I, if I, if I, if I not to complicate any, any, he like to just be simple and to come straight, I feel it was a number of things. And if we, if we could start, like, if you really like, like in the, like for the listener, like let's start with the excuses.Cause we're gonna like use excuses to, for the reasons why, like, what am I sit up here and tell you what car would never ever w w the car, what, when did it ever go off the trail? Like, so if somebody does something in a manner to where they. Defeat the purpose of what we, it is that we were taught when we come into something which could be a 12 step program.We could be a Victor outreach church or whatever it is that we want to change in ourselves. What, what is the reasons why we get to a certain point in our time and all of a sudden, just because of everything we learned, like everything that, that I learned that I was taught to do, to keep myself, to keep me from being what I believe in, which is a zero tolerance policy situation that I preached so hard and, and go drastic measures to, to like, have people believe this certain things.And, and to like fully be honest, when I hit a podium and tell people everything that I'm seeing as a truth, and then not follow up to what ex exactly. I said, it's always, what was the reason why that, that you feel that it happened? One of the reasons why I feel that I've been is because I don't like to feel any fear.And let me tell you what I did look. So anyway, I got him to this dude, man. I know you guys are very familiar with them. I watched the interview. I know he's a brother. His name is Kevin. Something. He has black something enterprises on a stomach of Kevin Gates. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And I watched the interview with him the other night and I really like sat and I listened to this dude and everything he said, and basically this, this dude, Kevin Gates, dude, I listened to what he was saying as like those theories and all those concepts that he believed in.It like helped me for the night. Cause I needed something because something very bad was about to happen. And I was really, really, really, really. About to like, just do what I had got to a point to where I was like, this is not going to happen right now. And then it was really like, um, half of my brain was telling me, you know, that's not gonna, it's gonna happen because you're in a position to where you can just get it, let it happen.And you're going to let it happen. And I put this dude on and it prolonged anything from happening for a little while, but anyway, it kept me for a minute and I listened to him. I really listened hard, man. And it's like, It's like, I kind of feel I'm in a kind of a position. Like he has. It's like, I went through my life, he explained through the pain and the pain and all he really wants.And there's no T…

That's the first time I saw you trying to do shit. He was, he was doing stick this time now, you know, it's funny. And somehow that made it not asking, right? Yeah. I just had a warmup. Yeah. Good. All right, good. You're doing cut on it.You're doing look at his face. Ali. Do you like those? Just spin on it with the women's spin on a Dick. Fuck. No comment. exactly what not to go. What road to go down. I ain't even go in there. He didn't deny it. He saidthat's the worst. I was like that, bro. You really lost it on that one. Nice. Okay. Let's do it. Sean's looking at me like where do we go from here? Motherfucker. Do something, motherfucker. What the fuck? I love awkward silence. I do too. It's so it's so. It's something people try to avoid. Like they try to move away from it.All right. Uh, shorts what's on tap. What are we doing? You're in charge of, you know, we can roll it out with the, uh, world war two. And the Eddie Carter that you were telling me about was that the gentleman's name? That Carter Eddie Carter. Yeah. That isn't related to Jimmy. No, but this guy is, his story is amazing too.Mom gave me a little, a little, a preview of it and uh, fucking blew my mind. Hey, um, so, so the really start this out really is to talk about black history month. That's what February is, right? Yup. Ollie, why don't you get on his mic, man? I do consider yourself African-American yeah, he does. He does. All right.So Ali, uh, is black history month. What do you understand about black? Sit down my brother. What do you understand about black history man? A month? It's time to celebrate a culture that has been suppressed from the get go. So it's a time for people who are in color to embrace who they are and be happy in their skin and not try to be any other race.Just like, be happy that you're you. But like, it would be cool if like everyone had their own month to celebrate. Like, I don't want to be like, oh, like just take all the shine. Like everyone should have that opportunity. Hey Ali, do you know how black history month got started? Can you just let me know?Okay. Uh, does anybody actually have any idea how black history month even got stuff? Schwartz and shaking his head, Sean. I mean, do you so black history month? Cause I, I didn't know. I looked it up because I wanted to know. Cause it seems like it feels like you just have these sort of politically quote unquote correct holidays that it seemed like the government put out to try to keep everybody cool and like not pissed off.Right. So I looked it up and it's not that in fact, what it is is black history month started out as black history week and black history week started because a guy who was black African-American went to Harvard. Wooden is his last. Wouldn't and he discovered in all the history books at Harvard that know nothing about black Americans contribution to this country history, anything was in any of the textbooks at Harvard.What year is this? We're talking like 19, early 1900. Right? So he's sitting there and he's thinking, and he starts the first, like African-American academic journal from Harvard. Right. And it's like, he reads through the history books and we're talking college level zero, mention about African-Americans contribution to history.And so he says, fuck it. And he said, we're going to start black history week. Now there had already been before the 19 hundreds, a tradition in the African-American community to celebrate, to celebrate the first week in February already. Does anybody know why? No, because. Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln both had birthdays in that first week.I think a Frederick, I think Frederick Douglas is Valentine's day 14th and what? No, no. I thought Lincoln's was like the 13th or something. It's like the eighth, I believe. Right. So African-Americans were like, that was a major change in our situation. It wasn't fixed. Right. But it was. So that week eventually right.Turned into an entire month as, as more and more folks started to push the idea and the whole cause of it was because, um, only one history was shining at the time of that white history. Well, two things about what you said is one, how many African-Americans were at Harvard or at any of the big universities at that time?That could even point out, oh shit. There's nothing in here. Black contribution to this country. Um, and so I think it's amazing that he did that, but also too, I think it's important for people to know it. Wasn't given black history month. Wasn't given out, you hear all these, maybe it's urban legend, like, okay, it's black history month because it's the shortest month in the year, right?That's a, that's a common joke in the comedy circles. Right. And the truth of the matter is, is it, and this is what really gets fucked up in these situations. Is that the common culture, common sense people, right. They think like, oh, this was dispensed from the government. Right. And it was dispensed out of some feeling of obligation to keep black and it's bullshit.Right, right. It was picked because Abraham Lincoln who fucking defeated the entire south and Emmy murdered motherfuckers, that's really what I wind up when grant did that March to the. Right. He burned crops, salted the earth and it was, it was to break the back of the Southern fuck faces. And I love the south, but I'm also saying a lot of those motherfuckers wanted to keep slavery and place.He's the reason why, uh, blacks, at least slavery ended right now. Frederick Douglas. I mean, dude, none of us talked about Frederick Douglas, that dude was born a slave and he tricked white people into teaching them English. He tricked him into teaching them how to read and write when it was illegal for black people, illegal for black people to read or write.And the whole reason is they didn't want black people reading because if they read, then they would read the Bible. Then they read about the Jews who fucking broke out of slavery. And that might lead to us losing a fucking dope ass system. This is American history. And that's the pur and that's the next, that's the next phase though, is that there's a movement like Morgan Freeman and other folks have said, well, I don't want to call it black history because it's really American history.It is American history. Yeah. It's not black history. The problem is is that if you do. Privilege that piece. It won't be acknowledged. It won't be acknowledged. That's the part that, that a lot of these conservative whites gloss over, that's the hidden power structure behind this dialogue. First, as soon as you say black, it goes into a certain column.Right. But the problem is, is if you don't say black, then the P goes into no column and it goes into zero column. Right. Uh, you would hear people, so that's kind of, you would hear people like, oh, well, black history month and why, why isn't there a white history month? Why isn't there, whatever. And you know, the argument and it's true that if you didn't have that, it wouldn't be at all.And like every other month is white history month or American history month without the inclusion of the African-American contribution. So then how does that, how do you think that plays into American when they are talking about just American history? They have the slaughter of the. And that's just American history.It, that is American history and it should be American history. And then you also have to go in. And so this is what I think personally, I think that it should be approached from, uh, from the angle of a disciplinary angle. For instance, if you were to say the history of automobiles, right. Or the history of gambling or the history of song or the history of America, right.All of that would fit under America, but it's still a category, but it doesn't mean that just because you put it into the category, it's separate and apart from America. Right. So if you said, I want to study heavy. Right. You wouldn't necessarily approach it and say, well, don't call it heavy metal. Cause now you're separating it from music.You would already understand that that's a subcategory of the general category of music. So in this case, the general category is American history. Sub category would be African-American history because you need that kind of detailed study in that little branch of the history in order to bring all those details to life.So that the general category of American history is actually more accurate, not better, not worse, accurate the true story. And so I think when you get bogged down into like the fighting about what, what should we call it and should it be the same and blah, blah, blah. I think there's a place for people to say it's American history, but then I think it makes sense from a, from a intellectual standpoint that you have to label certain things in order to feel.Uh, all of the details in order, but that's kind of what the fight is going on now. You know, a lot of Republicans and people on the right are saying, oh, we shouldn't burden our kids with the fact that there was slavery. Fuck. Or there was prejudice, all these things that, oh, you know, they're going to feel guilty or hate their country.No, they're going to have an appreciation and an understanding from where we were, where we're at now and the road that we can take to go. And you know, those same. I gotta say this. Like when I look at old pictures of slavery and read about it, and I look at the problems that I have today, it just like completely wipes out any little negative thing in my life.Like just comparing like my life to what used to be like, knowing about all that messed up stuff. It's like, it's pretty necessary to know. So you can realize like how far we came and like, damn like life ain't that bad. Like it could be a lot worse. I know about that stuff. You gotta know about it because you got to know it could be worse.You got to know about it, that what people consider golden ages of history, where actually rife with complete violence and injustice so that you don't get some fake ass idea that like, oh, it was all good before, you know, part of the power. People don't understand this, but in our Western thinking, we have a tendency to look back in a direction that everything was perfect.At some past point, there was a garden of Eden. There was no trouble. Adam was walking around naked, his vision was naked and they could do anything and they didn't have to work. And there was no menstruation. There was none of that. It was cool. It was. Now we live in this corrupted society and it's all fucked up.It's actually always been fucked up. That's the first point it's always been fucked up. It's always been corrupted. So in looking at that, I wanted to get that out to make sure that our audience and myself and us are aware that black history month started out because black history was not being taught.And it was only a week. And it was already a tradition of celebrating the fact that Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, right, were people who really advanced. I mean, you can talk all the bullshit you want. You can fucking say all this other stuff. Those are two guys that put their asses on the line.To advance a cause or a people in this country. And, and, and so I think that piece of it is super important and to really the politics of it should be taken out. There should be no question on, in anyone's plate that, uh, the true history of America should be taught to the citizens who are gonna inherit this country.Frederick Douglas, you said he tricked the wipey. Wouldn't teaching him how to read and white. So what did he do with that to help both by being, oh, so he didn't make black history month, but he did was he eventually got himself out of slavery at a time when slavery was still there and traveled through Europe and became emblematic of a guy that showed that African-Americans even see, this is the part that really hurts motherfuckers that are weak.Frederick Douglas showed. You can say, I'm not a man. And you can say that I'm not human and you can put me in jail. But through my own intellect, owls, outsmart you, and I'll make all pain. I'll get myself paid out of this thing. And I'll go on speaking tours throughout Europe and America as a free man.Yeah, he was the, I, I would say during that time, probably the most prominent and respected African-American, um, men, he came out of slavery. Think about, think about being you talk in this country. We all make a big hoopla about being a self-made man. People fucking waxed, you know, Elon Musk's car, because he was like, ah, I, I slept on beanbags and coded all night.Think about Frederick Douglas, what he had to overcome in terms of what he was labeled. The rules were all against him to eventually get to a place where he was free and was able to come and go and places. So Frederick D we could do an entire show. Frederick. Oh, that guy was a real hero. An American hero.I think we should for black history month, I think during this month let's let's do one. I'll do it. I'll do it. You could imagine how crazy it would be if he was living in this time period, like how he would be able to finesse. Cause like that knowledge he has, like, you can't take that away from him. Like when you said like, when you put chains on me, you calling whatever, like you can't change.Like my mom's. Yeah. But, but, but, but hold on a second. All right, but hold on. You're right. But I think a Frederick Douglas came here today. He'd be very disappointed. Oh yeah. Because nobody's working as hard as he did. That's exactly right. That's exactly fucking right. And like you're right. He. W figured out where the freedom is, it's in the mind, but our generations of folks have been so brainwashed by companies like apple, Microsoft fucking Coca-Cola, all these jerk-off companies, Nike, ri…

Mr. D has not stopped laughing since he walked into this studio, bro. And look at Jeff. He said, Charlie, look at his about his slave.He try to keep it together, manage it yet. We had to give him, we had to get ready for the show, man. We can makelike that all the time. Be no problem. Oh dude. Are you kidding me? Dude. If I look at this versus something else, it turns into something that, oh me. Oh, it's a paranoid freak out for me, man. I can't even look at these loads. Paranoid freak out. Hey Mr. D now let's stop the bullshit. Let's cut right down to it.What's up? Who would he find? Bitches that are in your video, bro? Come on. What? Tell me about the video. Shit. Don't stop. I got to ask my manager that one, cause even with a book, we just picked up some ladies from Italian. You know what I mean? They're good. Good looking chocolate in there. Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.We had to, we had to get most, both of them all mixed up. You know, we have. Well close, man. Listen, listen, listen. I'm married. So it doesn't matter anymore, but I'll tell you right now when I go to Baskin-Robbins I ordered a double Dutch shot. You feel what I'm saying? Lose this chick right here. Uh, she's fine.Who's that? Rubbing her thighs. Hey look, Mr. D Mr. D right here. Okay. So, all right, hold on over there. Oh, that's Terminator. That's Terminator Terminator. He's making plans fucking around. Listen, let me tell you. First, uh, just so Mr. And Mrs. Earbuds can follow along. This is Mr. D's new shit. It's on YouTube. You can get it other places it's called shit.Don't stop it. Right. Okay. So now, unlike other fucking whack ass podcasts and bullshit, we got the actual artist here and the manager, we're going to fucking walk through this video motherfucker. I want to know what's the real. I wasn't ready for this shit.it's called hard luck. Not easy. So wait a second. So right now, dude, it looks like you're in like a bunker bro. And you're like, fucking you're fucking staring at a wall and it looks like a planet. Like, what was, did you get direction? Like what is the concept here, bro? Well, we were mainly targeting towards, uh, the whole idea as in like we're looking for the person, like we're directing this to, well, I initially didn't really target this to anybody because I actually wrote it for her homie that, um, his homeboy passed away on like around December.So it was when I wrote this. So, um, I kind of wrote it as like, for him to be all like, like, oh, it's a tribute for him. You know what I mean? So when this came about, I was kind of like, okay, like how can I manipulate it towards. Um, I'm angry. I'm, I'm sort of like, I'm looking for somebody in light, like this, these tier jobs I'm talking about, they're going to get, you know, what I mean events for.So we were kind of going for that, that idea, you know what I mean? Like, like, all right. We're we're, we're on the hunt. We're re how do you put it up? That's loaded guns loaded. It's like you're in there. Right. And then where's this film, cause it looks like you're like in a bunker and there's like monitors and all these fucking wires who designed the set for that.Uh, what was it called? I'm not sure what it's called, but we rented a studio then. And, uh, that's where we got all the footage from. Right. And then I'm like looking at it and it looks like somebody that's like, like, not really like FBI or CIA, but they're fucking looking on a man hunt. We got surveillance cameras everywhere, looking for people, spotting that one person we're going to.Yeah. Then you got like a fun bitch, fucking typing in your data entry for Columbia. Oh, because she looked like she's looking at it at that Porter Porter. No, watch this.the prop guns. That's a prop gun that looked like it. Seen some props. Hey bro. Do you see why this guy is going to be the supermax lookbook guy? Dude, look at the way he's looking at what is that? Is that a newsy or a Mac? Ten one? Is that? No, no, that's a Hosey right there. And you're looking at it. You're looking at the Uzi, like with a Debo you're like, motherfucker, this thing is going to be fucking blast.Did you hit weed before? After all of my scenes right there all, when I'm sober, I try to take my. Uh, visual appearance as serious as I can. Cause, you know, as I, as they say, like any movement with your eyes, like fluttering or anything, they'll notice it, you know? So that's why I try to take more precaution with that for an actor.All right. And who is working with props and making it real? How did you, what was your method for staring at this gun? Like a stone cold. That's easy. I just, I just kind of. Try to kick him my little flashback mode, right. Until like when I was going through my little things and my little molds, I tried to apply it to that.You know what I mean? As best as I could, you know what I mean? Yeah. I love that. So you like, so they call that sensory recall. That's what this fucking high-minded fucking actors over in Beverly Hills, they call it sensor. So you went back to some shit and you were like, only bring the shit to the front.I'm going to stare at this gun with some shit. I'm going to make a fucking killer. And that means dope, bro. All right. Okay. Now you're gonna have to explain this black. I got to tell you I got my attention right there. He's not lying. No, ain't no form of disrespect towards anybody now, but before her and juggle beaver man.So I knew as soon as I saw this, I go and I first, going to love this video. Oh, bro. I look at like a black woman like that. It's beautiful, but looking fierce, like she could fucking eat a kiss. You or cut you and I'm in bro. Oh man. I like that. Hey, they did that eight. Good bro. They did that. Ain't good. That ain't like the right side.That things always cleared a picture.it in on that one. And then it's like, he's like in a red room and now he's got, now you got to shotgun. Mr. D why do you have a shotgun and a, and a black chick? Well, the shotgun was actually, it was, it was just there, you know what I mean? Just to put it there, but. I actually try to, like, I that's actually my favorite gun to keep it real.You know what I mean? Cause it, it, it puts a hole in somebody, you know what I mean? You could walk through them, you know what I mean? Like that's type shit. You know what I mean? But with the female, I actually love that part. That shit was actually pretty tight. You know what I mean? Cause it shows that because one thing, a lot of people get wrong is that.People think that my type of people, like, you know what I mean? Like, as people who are coming from my area, we just like a certain race, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. That's what I'm trying to break. I'm trying to break those type of barriers. You know what I mean? Like trying to make everybody understand that it's more than just how people look, you know?Yeah, man. That's what the D stands for. And Mr. Lee dream, I also, you know what, man, and I think that is part of the reason. Uh, you're here on the show, man. It's just where, where you guys are, where your, where your thoughts, how, how you guys move and your vision, which Jeffrey, I get to spend more time talking with you actually.And then D but, uh, it seems you're just on it, man. It's just another thing that I think separates you from the pack. I think it was, you're not even really trying. It's just that that's you, that's you and, and it's, it's it defines it. I think it was just trying to reach goals to reach the mass. Right. And like equally, I think everybody in his role as equal the same era, same mouth or just different skins.Right. But inside we're all the same. But do you hear new music you're bound to like attract you're going to attract an audience? That's true. I don't mean to interrupt, but it definitely also feels like in some of our conversation, the current. Understanding of breaking a stereotype or a mole, right? Like, right.It's I mean, for me, it is, and I'm not trying to put that on you, but when we talk, we meet at that place of like an old stereotype and we're so much more than. A clown dancing around with his socks, pulled up in front of low riders, the old he's like, look, I love all these and that, but I think I know that we're so much more man.And, and I love it when I see things put out that really, I don't know, break that old. I think we are. I mean, now it's, you're talking about generations and generations, right? Like. I mean, we have attorneys, we have all types of like other careers paths that our people have gotten a hold of. Right. So we're not just those clouds of like, with the socks up and dancing around, likewith him. Like the way he speaks, the way he . He's good. Like, I mean, he has it, we just got to get it out there to the masses and then you're nodding your head. Yeah, no, I, I agree. I think it's right on. And I think that the fact that you guys focus on that and move that way. Genuinely we'll serve you so well, going forward in reaching the masses because there seems to be, as it should be many more conscious people these days and people that are actually, they can even digest the thought of somebody who is, is, is unique and don't speak to everybody.So I think it's. I think it is through, you know, and I think it's not it's you can't. I also cute. Can't go without at least acknowledging the fact that you guys like this, this cat rolls around with his older homeys. He's older homeys are about, um, professional business and they're, they're kind of like, you know, they're, they've got his back and the intentions are, are clear and, um, And a lot of guys don't have that.They don't have somebody out looking out for them. And if they do, are they really looking out for their best interests? And in this case, it's like, and he listens dude. Like he says, he able to take stuff in and listen and get out of his own way. And I think a lot of. Is maybe somebody getting out of their own fucking way.I think, I think I'm in a position where I put myself through, I guess all my life I've worked really hard. And then I really don't need a lot of stuff in life. Right. I got everything I need. So I just want to see him win at the end of the day. That's my goal is to see him win as long as he wins. I win. So I think as, as a big homie, I have to take that.I got to, got to take that to heart because I've seen so many homies fucking cracked out or whatever, out in the street. And we talked about, and then in the young homie, a bag of dope, you know, I mean, I'm not going to give him a fucking gun. Like I'm going to give him a fucking book and be like, Hey dog, what do you need to get your shit?Right. If I got to pay for college, then fuck it. I'll pay for college. I mean this guy's not just blowing smoke. These are what these guys are about, man. And that I'm not hearing enough of. Go ahead. Wait, wait, before you go. Just y'all. Fuck. Let me, let me fucking ask Mr. D you here, you've been sitting here and listening to the older folks.Talk about blah, blah. What's it like for you as an artist to hear the conversations going on around you and you sort of taking that in what's your. It's more to the point where I got to try to keep up to it. You know what I mean? Um, as in, I need to keep, uh, I need to keep myself aware that I have a certain responsibility and a certain goal that I have to help achieve, you know, cause I definitely didn't get here by myself, you know, cause I tell everybody around me every, every single time that I can at least, you know, that I, I pretty much always to everybody around me more than.The other way around, you know, cause it, it wouldn't, it wouldn't make sense for me to say that my ability of lyricism technically erupted all of this, you know what I mean? Like it's more as a positive thinking in a positive energy and the, uh, I want to say the ambition and the hopes that people have in each other is what got everybody here.You know what I mean? And that's what I feel like I got to make myself be aware every time I step up and step out into the. Excuse me. And I try to do anything right there, like destruction wise, you know what I mean? Like, and I try to…

    Show notes

    Your earbuds will watch “The Facts of Meth” when Big Luck’s, Ol’ Blue Eyes, Schwartz and Chumahan rip apart the bullshit on music and the huge catalog sell-offs by legacy artists and the question is: where the fuck is the new music? Find out Tech Corp’s plot to kill off new music, to create and milk the shit out of old music catalogs with the freezing power of nostalgia. Dogface? Stevie Nicks. Why does Chumahan hate the term “4-D Chess.” Chumahan’s invitation to send in Silly Shit to hluckshow@gmail.com. Are viral nostalgic fake-assed blowups choking out true blue grassroots new talent? OBE’s advice for new artists comes to light and Schwartz’s buddy Silly Puddy. OBE’s music crisis and whether the HLS Intro is too long.Transcript:Good morning and welcome to the hard luck.

And on soundShawn Lewis, social awkward damn dog, goodengineersfrom P E to the.And talking about gee, we got the Xtrordinair showrunner. Yay. Ordinary show runner run. The extraordinary show. Yes, what's up boy. What's up fellas. Oh man. When they say that's an extraordinary show because we had shorts on, he was touching the shit in the turns extraordinary. Cause that's true. Tell us the secret to your magic.Yes. It's just, you know, being a 85 year old man trapped in a 40 year old body. Uh, that's my secret man. The wisdom, the wisdom, the wisdom of ancient wisdom bang and with some more wisdom for you. Yeah. It'sAli on the visuals. You already know, know what time it is. All right. You guys, you heard it? Yup. Oh man, that pumps me up more than anything else in the entire world, just yelling. I was trying to come inside to the studio, get out of it. I got away from the dumpster and we got to go inside. Then you cut to here.You already dealt with the avid is Allie. It's your boy. It's your boy. I lik I just make demands, right. Cosmic. Right. Hey, tell us what's coming up in the, in the fashion weeks. What's on the, you're not, are you tell us, get predict, please predict I just released here. What I've done or like, no, no, no. You're a fashion Maven.Obviously the dreads prove that. And tell us, sir, please. If you will, where is fashion going in the next year? Digital everything is going cyber. So you gotta get on the way before it's too late. A lot of things are changing and, and IMTS and all sorts of block chains are really going crazy right now with the web three.So you just gotta take advantage of the tools that. Right now. All right. All right. So Hey, blockchains are going crazy. Real insight. Good. Going crazy. Speaking of, uh, new technologies and digital and all this fucking shit, that's coming down upon us while we're still in a social coma from COVID. One thing I've been thinking about is new music, new music, new music.It's fun. There's only a few people making good music. When you say that, Sean, I would say that I, as a matter of fact, it's funny, you mentioned it. Well, I'm glad I was glad, I'm glad you asked. So I'm reading the Atlantic today, this morning at like 4:45 AM. And, uh, I was looking at this article. It said that, um, 70% of all the U S music market is old shit like catalog.Right. Like, no one is listening to new music. How many artists have sold their fucking complete portfolio? I just saw that. What was it? Uh, some Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan. His whole fucking for how much? I don't know. Look it up. Look it up. Look it up. Uh, I've heard about Neil young, all a Spotify thing with them.Well, wait, let's go back. Okay. Let's go back to Sean's thing and then we'll pick up on the BA uh, Neil young. Go ahead, Sean. So nobody's listening to new music. Nobody. Yeah. This is why I'm always saying that. Fuck nostalgia. I'm sick of fucking the scholarship because it's killing us. But go ahead. Why? So let me read this quote.It says 200 most popular new tracks now regularly account for less than 5% of total streaming. Wow. Dang, believe that. Think about that top 200 shots that the top two new only account for 5% of total streams, that means it's virtually not penetrating anything, right? That means it's not doing anything.It's also because it's mostly. No, I'm not interested in looking at it. Right. Look at people ain't even interested in going there to listen to it. Okay. Just, I did just look this up. Bob Dylan's catalogs sold between two 50 and 300. 200, 2 50, 300 mil cash out for Bob Dylan on his fucking, all of his. And I guarantee you when that dude was down in the fucking village and he was fucking drinking coffee and doing Coke and all the other shit he was doing, he did not think in a million years that his body of work was going to wind up selling for 250 mil.I gotta be honest as much as that is, it seems low. Bob, Bob, Bob, doing as my point of view, is that like, if you're an artist nearing like sort of the end of your life, I mean, basically he's got retirement. Yeah. Why not? Cash? We just talked about just that cashed out on ESPN, on the games. Um, the, uh, um, football.Who cashed out EA sports gave fucking what's his name? Two 50, right? Same. Right. That was a cash out for sure. Right. Right. And I don't think that guy, when he was fucking a PE teacher ever thought his name. Would sell for two and is the type of thinking, and we're not going to get lost on that track, but that's the type of thinking where, when he's talking about blockchains and all this shit that you have no idea, right?Oh, that's going to be even, but the boss, Bruce Springsteen. Yeah. Five 50 for his catalog. That's more for Bruce Springsteen. Did that, dude. I mean, think about some of the iconic music that, that, listen, I'm not saying we're fans necessarily, but I'm just saying, if you think about middle America born in the USA, for sure.But also like on, when I lived in New York, like you always heard Bruce Springsteen on the radio and you always heard, uh, piano fucker. Oh my God. What the fuck? What the fuck is this? And he got fat. Oh my God. Billy Joel. Yeah, it's constant airplay on the radio has used them though. The people that are paying out these huge catalog fees, right?Yeah. Group that decides we're going to give Bruce Springsteen five 50. We're going to give Dylan two 50 upfront. Yeah. These companies to make an investment like that. They have to already know they're going to make a hundred times that off of the investment. I mean, what is a hundred times. Five 250 million, right?25 billion. So these groups are making investments of that size on that, like, to be able to deal out 250 million, right. They get what I'm saying. Like if they're pack these guys understand digitally, what's going to happen with that. And when they own it and every way they can squeeze it out and make a hundred times that do both those guys abuse, that will literally last forever.Forever, but yeah, but, but, but so going back to this and you know what, actually, Darren Craig talked to me about this, it's kind of, and he said, it's tripping me out. But what he's seen is is that a lot of major pieces of catalog from publishing houses, studios, and legacy celebrities are being purchased for enormous sums upfront money.Right. And he, he doesn't understand yet, but he thinks. There's something that everyone in tech has predicted that is going to mean that these things are going to be worth 10 times. That for some reason, well, now they are. What do you mean? Everyone starts listening to old music. I mean, these are worth way more than you would think they're worth, right?If we're not creating any new legacy of this, then we're going to have to lean on these old catalog. For the Mo the majority of our listening. Sure. Which means that, you know, investing, you know, 300 million into something isn't really all that big of an impact. Check this out. Stevie Nicks made a deal for a reported hundred million dollars with primary wave for her portion of publishing rights to some of her biggest hits of this means that the portion that listen her.That means that the studio or the producer who recorded it, whoever owns the masters, all that shit probably still has their piece. Uh, and it's only for like edge of 17 in landslide right now. Dog face. Yeah. He must've made that shit. Oh my God. So, so, so, so sit back for a second. Just think about this.Cause these guys are playing like four D chess. I hate that fucking term, but anyway, right. So I guarantee you that when you see some virus viral things and you go like, how come dog face? How did that, like, why did that blow up the way that it did? And it occurred with that music right to fucking Fleetwood Mac.How did that blow up? And then also at some point we're learning that Stevie Nicks is selling catalogs and it's adding to the nostalgia and updating the nostalgia. I guarantee you there's a connection there. Ah, dude, there's gotta be people playing everybody that they're, they're floating out and, and they're squeezing off new artist.Yeah, well, but artists are talking about that though. What do you mean artists are talking about how they can't get in and play. We got to pay to play, right? And they don't make these deals. They're not getting any of the streams where every that's been going on. Right. So look at it this way. If you're able to circulate in nostalgic track, you're able to extract more money out of one song and you don't have to deal with the artists.They're bullshit. The fucking whatever they're lawyers, they're Coke, they're bitches they're. You don't have to deal with none of that. You don't have to figure out how to pay the fucking writer and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You just take that one track. And if you can create a value in these nostalgic hits and you close off the new.You got way more control. It's a similar thing that's happening in film and television. One of the driving forces of animation and CGI is that please, dear God, please. There's some producer, right? Some PFAFFA producer would say fucking, just oily packages lined with gold. He's just make money, hand over fist.The one thing that sticks in his fucking cry is that he can't control Jack Nichols. Because the guy's a fucking star and he's got to pay Tom cruise prices. And who knows, if he's going to go off the rails, quit the production, hold it all up, all that bullshit. Right. But you got to deal with when you're dealing with a mega fucking blue chip star, that's a human being.The minute you can turn him into a cartoon, that's real enough that it looks real. He's never gonna be. He's never going to fucking join a union. He's never going to develop a weird Coke habit animate me. So let's, and let's, let's create this. Metaverse create movies without having to pay any humans. And we can fucking control costs like a motherfucker.And that's what's happening with music in nostalgia, in an audio version, freezing an artist. What they already created. And trying to milk the fuck out of that. So here's the next gig, if you want, if you want to ensure your legacy as a paid actor, start getting into voiceovers. Yeah. That's right. Start working on your, uh, You're imitation game.That's why my boy I'm telling you, he works a lot, bro. Silly putty, silly kid. Yeah. He works a lot, man. And, and uh, you know, makes decent coin doing it to decent Wayne. Hey, what? So, so the, so that's what I think, podcasts. This is what I've been trying to kind of flow out there is that right now it's a flood.Oh, yeah. So like, if you can build up the world and the characters and the, and the interpersonal dynamics and a following, and that the dah on a podcast situation, you are creating those audio gigs that you're talking about. What else. Okay. But, okay. So, so we got to that. So go on with the new music. What else is there to explore on this topic?I mean, there really isn't, I mean, it's just that like your numbers, that you were always tripping off those numbers. I was, uh, I was sort of at a crisis myself about, you know, I read some YouTube comment. Just like, you know, everybody chips off the, you know, why not trip off some YouTube comments? There was a comment on one of our, our videos.And it was saying that the, the interest too long. Yeah. Somebody said it's a waste of time. S 8 1 8. Yeah. And he said, and the intro's a waste of time. But then again, bro, I've heard other people say that they look forward to the intro cause they don't know half of the tracks that we're throwing up. And I know for me, like if I listened to a podcast, I kind of skipped the intro.It's like the same old shit. And I guess in a sense. What you're saying is right. Some people listen because they want to see what playing or whatever. Cause yeah, you're right. I didn't even think about that. I do the same fucking thing on podcasts. I listened to. I skip our own shit all through it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Yeah. But that's the type of people we are. Well, that's, that'd be where and the other thing I want you guys to remember is to just keep in mind. A lot of us amongst each other have commented about how sometimes the show just starts. And there's nothing, all of a sudden you're in the middle of a conversation.Right. We've all kind of weighed in and said, we liked that. And we play with that. Yeah. I personally, when we were rolling right into a conversation, I love that. I mean, I'm attached to it. Yeah. Introduction, because that's how we've been branded branded. And that's kind of what we were showing is you do an introduction.So I don't, but I think we keep them guessing, well, we live in a that's true, but we live in a society right now where intros are deemphasized. And think about this time they want, think about, think about this in shows, used to be for moot television shows. They used to be formerly. Right. They used to be, there was a guy, Mike post, Sean who's Mike postHe's a, I mean, he's a record producer, but he's also a composer and he did a bunch, bunch of, uh, interest for me was basically, yeah. Television shows. Right. And so like, you used to fuck you. Back in the day, like you would come on and watch small wonder, and it'd be like a whole fucking intro. Everybody trying to eat a sandwich or a taxi.Listen to that depressing music on the east coast facts alive. Right? You take a book, you take a bag and all that.The facts of math,right? That'sright. But now in the age of being. And, but, and also remember there were credits during that, so you'd know like, oh, okay. Who the stars are. There was no fast forward though. There was no fast food. There was no, you know what I mean? I've seen that game, bro, like, right. Nobody would ever watch that shit so different, bro.Now, when I do a show like a binge watching a show, I skip intro. They give you a button that says. I was one of the first one, and then I write it out. I'd skip it. I remember N…
