Starting point is 00:01:44 don't mean we're not making some more Black History. I'm trying to tell you. You get what I'm saying, D.C. Youngflat. Now, we've been calling our studio the trap since we got over here. But we didn't brought some legends through it. We didn't brought some ball players. Some actors, some movies stars, some artists, some artists. Some damn servers.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Bruh. But today. What with that? We're getting black as hell today. Hold up. Put all up. Before you do anything, make sure if you got some black in the closet, go put it off. Go put it on.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm talking about. This is how black we're about to get, D.C. I'm talking about Vaseline as lotion black. I'm talking about hair conditioner as lotion black. You hear me? I'm talking about the whole summer at your grandma house. You hear me? I want the blue.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Freeze pops over, black. You know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about so black when you have to tell your brother, hey, your dad outside, that's how black we get. I'm talking about so black, don't mind them roaches. They live here, black, you know what? I'm talking about so black, what you mean on fire? Get my goddamn check.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Hey, bruh. I'm talking about so black, check ends in the light on, but that means it's still running. Oh, I'm talking about you got some ribs, black, but you need some ties black. Yes, up. Now, today. What we're doing?
Starting point is 00:02:58 We're switching up the whole game plan. Talk about shit. Bro, we got a whole son of a revolutionary wife up and up and up with us, bro. And we're comedians. Open the crime, man. We be bullshitting all the time. But we're bringing some real shit today, bro. They got this movie out right now that's based on his father's life.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Judas and the Black Messiah. We have none other than Fraybhamden Jr. Oh! Don't hit the music yet. No, wait, wait. That's what we know him at. Uh-huh. But the people who know him for real,
Starting point is 00:03:36 uh-huh. Call him the chairman. The chairman! Now hit the music. I ain't boy, shit. Hold up, O.G. I can't do like that. Ah. Hold up, got to do the thing, but we just talk to this.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Yeah, sir. You're gonna talk. You're gonna talk. Them, them your people? My comrades, we're my comrades, we're talking so black. We're talking about chain gangs and alias names. You hear me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Talk your shit, oh, yeah. Welcome to the 85 South Show. It's an honor to be here, brothers. That's an honor and pleasure to have. That's honor to hand. You, O.G., you're brave. Hey, right. I'm gonna be here, man.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yes, sir. Before we even get into it, how you feel? Hey, it's the saying to Chairman Fred Hampton, we say, say, we're too proletary and revolutionary intoxicated to be astronomically intoxicated to be astronomically intimidated. And what that means, the plain name is turns. We have the people, man.
Starting point is 00:04:31 It's a phenomenal time. You know what I'm saying? I mean, the type of conversation, the type of discussion is happening. You know, it's intense. I don't want to go too far here, but just even with the release of the trailer, the movie, you know what I'm saying? It's up to ante on conversations that we've been having for quite some time. A lot of people, you know, fearful to have them, or they've been in the sort of, quote-unquote, coded sort of way.
Starting point is 00:04:52 So, again, I'm charged up. Right. Before we even talk about the movie, let's talk about the movie. about the movie, let's talk about the process. You know, I know people, a lot of people have approached the family about buying the rights and telling this story. But like, what was the atmosphere leading up to this?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Did you feel like this is the right, this is right? This is how I want this to be seen. Or like, what was the family's overall consensus before the movie was even? Right on. I'm glad you prefaced that way. Because a lot of times, you know, cats get it twisted. Because we say, you know, the streets make the music.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Music don't make the streets. Dog, wide the tail, tail, white the dog. So before the movie, there has been the consistent, you know, struggle going on. Though a lot of times people have been approaching us saying, man, I've seen the movie, so how can we get, you know, how can we start the struggle back? We say, hold on, get your lay pass. This has been going on for quite some time. Some mistakes in my mind and my heart, I'm probably about 12 years old,
Starting point is 00:05:46 and we were approached me and my mother. And this is one, and I emphasize one, one of the times of which our gas was cut off at our house, Chicago Winter. And it was a book proposal. However, it raised one of the police up as the protagonists and putting the police in a good light. And her principal position that she took, Akua and Jerry, we call her Mother Kua,
Starting point is 00:06:09 forming was Deborah Johnson. And I remember asking her about 12 years old, she said, well, if this happens, does that translate, he'd get turned back on in the house? And she took a principal position, she said, it's a no-go. And even against contested conditions where other people that may have been in the Black Panther Party,
Starting point is 00:06:25 Panther Party and I distinguished those that were in the Black Panther from those that are Black Panthers. Even with family members, say, you know, man, go, is what the youngster's called now, chase the bag. She said, no, go. And so this isn't the first time that, even before the butler, Forrest Whitaker, Antoine Fuqua, different people was talking about this, so I just want to preface it, you know, put in the context. So fast forward to what we are right now. You know, we had got word through the Gravemind. There was some discussion about doing a project on Chairman Fred. So in many, So I think was, okay, here we go again.
Starting point is 00:06:57 They're not going to get through the vetting process. And we studied it. There are various scripts brought to us. If you Google, you can actually see some of the initial titles that were proposed, and the narrative was incorrect. So before I even brought it to my mother, Comrade, not just in a subjective way, this isn't my mother. She resides on our advisory board of our organization
Starting point is 00:07:20 of Black Panther Party Cubs. Before bringing it to her, we wanted to vet it. In other words, cut the fat off the meat. See, if we're going to barbecue a meal, do what it is. So we went through the process and, you know what I'm saying, back and forth, back and forth, you know what I'm saying? You know, we finally sat down at the Hampton House, that's the house which Chairman Fred grew up in.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And we talked to script writers, producers, you know, Shaka King, Will Burson, Ryan Kuglup, his wife, Zensi, Charles King, Macro. That's who worked in conjunction with Warner Brothers. So it was like a tug and pull process. And the deal is, in so many cases, the movie industry, the music industry, our schools, every, you know what I'm saying, the foreign merchants in our community.
Starting point is 00:08:09 It's like they come through in our community, you know what, with a position, like, this has gonna go, that's it. And deal is, you know what I'm saying, when they come to this legacy, you know what I'm saying? A legacy is more important in our life. A legacy is more important than our life because we got a certain amount of time
Starting point is 00:08:23 to physically be here. but legacy service as a template or prototype, how we're going to move forward. So again, we back and forth and finally get to the stage where we're at right now. It was, you know, it was a lot of struggles, principal struggles, you know what I'm saying? On the set, I still wake up at nighttime right now,
Starting point is 00:08:37 jumping up, cut, stop, you know what I'm saying? But no regrets. And I just got worried now about some of the awards and the nominations and, you know, acknowledgement. But that the deal is something that all parties involved, you know what I'm saying, from the cast, Daniel Kulia, Dominique Fishback,
Starting point is 00:08:56 the other, Algae, audience, and LeKeefe Stan for others. And even on the soundtrack, Brother Raq Kim and others, man, you know what I'm saying? Their position was, well, let's make sure, you know what I'm saying, that the family is respected.
Starting point is 00:09:08 We're real big about respect, you know what I'm saying? I come up in Chicago, a city of structure. And in fact, Chicago was one of the last cities that the government was able to bring crack cocaine in. They had to, you know, kill Fluggy Stokes and lock up Chief Malik for him, you know, Jeff Ford, for it because it's checks and balances you know so you just can move a certain way
Starting point is 00:09:27 and I'm held accountable so even with the initial proposal with the script there were certain other entities other organizations other individuals that were not respected and like people say man why are you tripping about other organizations but like the ecosystem the balance you know what I know we're dealing with the generation lot of people deal with subjectivity in other words all they see is how they view but I'm real big you know what I'm real big about respect and so it was a lot of tug and pull to get to the stage in the game yeah So what's it like having to, like you said, wake up every day and defend that legacy
Starting point is 00:10:01 or try to further it, push it, preserve it? Not only defend it, but also bring light to others. Right, because a lot of, like this movie brought a lot of light. It's a generation of kids that don't know. They don't know. Even the shit they said in the movie is just a piece of it, the G-rated version, the part that they comfortable enough to talk about. They don't know how raw this real situation in.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Real talk. They don't know what this means. Real talk. Let me go with the latter part of what you just asked. You know what I'm saying about, and that's something that I don't, a lot of people really, like, a lot of cats ask me, you say, why I don't know about Chairman Fred, why I don't know about the black people in the part? I said, are you really, are you really, do you really want to answer to that? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:43 Because, one, it's, it's embarrassing, being oppressed. It's embarrassing that our community, you know what I'm saying. We're so terrorized. that we're terrified of even acknowledging it. You know what I'm saying? We try to jive ourselves. We try to use euphemisms. The system gives us us univism.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Other communities, other people, they have the advantage and disadvantage of what we call an acknowledged war. The knowledge war is like in Nazi Germany. They say terms, they acknowledge that under the tenure of the Fuhrer, Adolf Fiddler, administered propaganda,
Starting point is 00:11:15 global, that they created the ghettos. The script has been flipped to make us that we created the ghettos, it's not community. Other communities, they used charge like propaganda bombs. They acknowledge their political prisoners. Our community, we don't know about the Mumia Abu Jamal's, Sunday out of college, Richelso, Kim McGee's, the C-Num,
Starting point is 00:11:33 your brother, sister down the street, political prisoners. So that's embarrassing. And so the next logical question is why we don't know about this here. And, you know, even family members are some of the people who depicted in the movie, who didn't know about the contributions.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It's set in the breaking process that happen to our people. The way the Chairman Fred, the way the defense got to Mara Clark, the way they were assassinated, now stress that term, assassinated, it was strategic. It was images of Chicago police bringing his body out. You know what I'm saying? Around the 4.35 in the morning, they were chanting, chairman of afraid is dead. Similar to the, during the era of shallow slavery. A pregnant sister would run away from a plantation. They just didn't go out there and kill her. They went and got her. Brought her back. Brought her back. Real talk, bro. You brought her back still a stomach open in front of the masses of people scompton
Starting point is 00:12:23 fetus of death this is still terror to terror the terror by the masses horror to horror for the mass it broke generations to come it was a time in South Korea I forgot who's under whose tenure it was but they would say you would lock you up you thought you's gonna get out it's an aunt we're gonna hold you for your child and your grandchild the weed up out of you the position three generations three generations and people pass down trauma and also people pass down punkism, you know what I'm saying? Don't do that, don't ask that question.
Starting point is 00:12:51 You know what I'm saying? It's not even thought about. And a lot of our people also do we don't anything that we're worthy of being assassinated. Now even with this script, you know, things that you take for granted. You see, like the term, chairman, we struggled for that. When I was in Ireland, with the delegation,
Starting point is 00:13:06 with the free woman, Abu Jamal, with Minister of confrontation, Pam Africa, Ramone Africa, this is the move organization. This is a lot of people think the government, the United States, that just dropped a bomb in Libya. They're like, I can't believe the government dropped the bomb. Not knowing about 1985. Fairly. May 13th, come on, man. May 13, 1985, when the U.S.
Starting point is 00:13:23 government, he was a Negro, Wilson Good, to drop a bomb on our people, on our community, on the move family. So to put that in context, up to the ante, to call that question, to put in this, we said, the political context, you know what I'm saying? We're told, don't talk about that, you know what I'm saying, don't you acknowledge that. And I think with the alcohol is anonymous, they said when the first step in addressing the problem, recognized that you got a problem, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:46 Sonsu says in the out of war, the cardinal principle of warfare is know thyself and know thy enemy. That's the first step. You said, before you move forward, know thyself and know thy enemy. So back to the heart of the question, it's a blessing and it's a burden.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I'm not going to romanticize this, man. You know, I've been in school suspended for just writing about Chairman Fred. You know what I'm saying? I've been placed in isolation for having articles about who Chairman Fred is, you know what I'm saying? And this is something that, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:15 other entities, other organizations, other walks of life have a quote-unquote luxury to talk about it. At the funeral services for Stanley Tuckie Williams, co-founded the Crips, when he had left and we went down to Lamarra Park, I had said something to the effect that Tuckie Williams had grew up in the climate like I grew up in,
Starting point is 00:14:33 deprived of an organization such as the Black Panther Party. What the only, quote, unquote, option has given to us is to become a Boy Scout or a Bangor. I said, never again on my watch. You know what I'm saying? Now let's your cup of tea, so beer, But this is, like, I'm a situation one time. The sister, she had just come from Haiti.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And so cats were hustling on her porch, out east, south-east of Chicago. So she had contacted us. We went out there, and we had dealt with it. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to leave it at that. You know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:15:03 We dealt with it. So she said, I can't really figure you out. She said, you read books, you knowledgeable, but she said, what are you at? It's a political thug or whatever. Even two parts. The podcast can't understand. Like that came someone to Tupac.
Starting point is 00:15:15 They can't understand. I love for the people. My mother said, my mother said, Tupac needed an organization. The organization needed Tupac. You know what I'm saying? In the Black Panther Party was an organization that turned the communities into classroom.
Starting point is 00:15:27 They're just engaging with Chairman Frey called intellectual masturbation. In other words, it's a whole bunch of walking talk. You know what I'm saying, in theory. Lail cats are told me they want to join our organization, the Black Panther Party Cubs. They said, okay, this ain't no YouTube sensation. It just ain't no talk. You gotta go do a certain amount of what we call Cub community service.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You got a certain amount of what we call Cub community service. You got to serve the people. You've got to make mistakes. You've got to tie a theory into practice. Because a lot of people engage in what we call uncontested conditions. In other words, they say stuff, it's like a shadow boxer. A shadow boxer said, man, I'm a champ. You ain't got in the ring with nobody.
Starting point is 00:15:57 A lot of cats tell me, man, I ain't never told them to the police, man. I said, shit, police never asked you nothing. You know what I'm saying? With us, our membership is contested, you know what I'm saying? And like, we're going, we're going, we're going, it's some vegetation being planted right now. now, even with this clamor, the coronavirus. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:16 Even right now, they're talking about who's out in Mexico. A lot of people see it as an advantage that the Biden administration is taking these children from Mexico, you know what I'm saying, and holding them in these different homes. But it's produced a different type of Mexicano community, you know what I'm saying? Those who are no parents, you know what I'm saying? And we want to have real talk. No, under George Bush Jr.'s tenure, they said one time in Iraq,
Starting point is 00:16:40 over 78% of the population was under 17 years old. And you got a whole generation that don't know what happened before them. A breeding ground for reactionaries. In our country, there's a lot of kids a reactionary. They don't know what happened before, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:55 See, one of our matches for our organization is we're the great-grandchildren of Garvey, the offspring of Malcolm, and the Culls of Panthers. We don't think this is no new dynamic about us being oppressed. Even before this, even now,
Starting point is 00:17:10 We're in a client we call Reactionary Clowning. Prior to this, look at the faces a lot of them young brothers and sisters, the police rat up on them. They'd be literally shocked. The police don't, you're getting down on, I can't believe the police shot my son and my daughter's 15-10. This is what they do.
Starting point is 00:17:26 The birth, see, you're going to let me get the birth of something. The slave, the birth of the police with slave patrols. That's what it was created for us. You know what I'm saying? See, sellout is one of the most overused terms in our community. And I came to a man, son said, sold us. They sold you out.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Through the door, that's what it was about. You know what I'm saying? If you go, it's not telling you had to question yourself, what was in you, or better it, what was not in you, that you went for certain things. If you go to the pet store, you got, you know what I'm saying, you go buy a goldfish, you bring it back, you throw a leash on it, and you say, I wonder why this motherfucking dog, why they're barking.
Starting point is 00:18:02 It's a goldfish. You know what I'm saying? It's a, it's a movie on OJ Simpson. The kid who grew up with him, talked about. He said, man, we were children in grammar school. He said, man, the superintendent, they take us down. We're shooting dice in the bathroom. They took us down to the office.
Starting point is 00:18:17 He said, the superintendent, he's leaving. OJ is a child, walked out with him. He said, where are you going? He said, he left the students, his colleagues with it in the office. He'd go with him. Bob Hobbit, speaking, I think, at UCLA, he showed, all the stuff that's going
Starting point is 00:18:33 to all the uprises that's happening all over the country. And he showed you, OJ was at that time. time. This week has been consistently, you know what I'm going to? He will never connect it to the community. You know what I'm saying? And this is not when we come in with a react, when I mean by reactionary, like you come in, uh, watching the Freddy or Jason movie, part seven in the middle of the movie like, man, why they beating up Jason? Do you know the, do you know the history of this motherfucker? Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? So the deal is, we come with an objective analysis,
Starting point is 00:18:59 not, you know what I'm saying? You never hear me say the police killed my daddy. You never hear me say that. You do hear me say the United States government assassinating the chairman fred that's object that's the objective reality you know what i tell when the police killed people in chicago and in another color house community they approach no families they say look stay away from hampton stay away from black panther party cubs here's your organization here's your artist that's going to do a song for you they give it to them you what i'm saying and people say chairman how do you know which uncle going to sell out how you know which mother they're going to put on the tv i said i study my own family i don't cut no corn you know what you're saying is we
Starting point is 00:19:34 Chairman Mousie Towns say combat liberalism. And I tell when we come in, so we don't relate to, this is a term we refer to as culture, nationalism. Well, I would say, you know, we're all black people come together, get your dashikis and your green juice. We don't relate to that. We use a philosophical tool known as
Starting point is 00:19:50 dialectical materialism. What that means is we use common sense and logic. You know what I'm saying? Say, man, what's the emo with this person? You know what I'm saying? Not just, regardless of what their color is, see, Kimio Song in Korea, North Korea. He up to the United States said,
Starting point is 00:20:06 no, those in South Korea, they rhyme with you. They ran with the Yankees. In Vietnam, Ho Chi men, you know what I'm saying? Ho Chi men, the Gia, they said, man, hold on. We're not on Vietnamese people, there's different interests. In the Black Panther Party, they up the ante, they heightening their contradictions, you know what I'm saying? And it's a reason why I can't even know who
Starting point is 00:20:22 Chairman Fred is. It's a reason why I can't know who authored the Rainbow Coalition. It was Chairman Fred who authored the Rainbow Coalition. You know what I'm saying? There's a soundtrack on the Judas and Black Messiah with Rod Kim told him, he says, This is who authored the Rainbow Coalition. A lot of people thought Jackson did.
Starting point is 00:20:37 To Reverend Jackson. You know what I'm saying? Because the states say they can't stop it, co-opted. Watered down. Change it, makes something to be. Chairman Frey, in the city of Chicago, was, it remains to be one of the top segregated cities in the country. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:50 He dealt with the race and the class contradiction. So I just want to deal with the race question. You know what I'm saying? So we don't cut no corners. We don't care whether it be Uncle Sam or Sambo. The Green or Negro, whoever it is, whoever your last name is, whatever your religion is, we don't cut no corners.
Starting point is 00:21:04 He up there and who he took to which meetings. He studied that. Chairman Fras, the Revolution is a scientific art that must be perfected. It wasn't based on this is my homie. This is my friend, you know what I'm saying? He took the young patriots, a group of poor whites from Appalachian Mountains.
Starting point is 00:21:21 They were so reactionary to the time they wear Confederate flags in their jackets. The doctor said, man, don't talk to the racist white people. He was a realist. See, the organization question is a phenomenon in Chicago. Minister UEP Newton, the visionary of the Black Panther Party, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, along with Dele Chapman, Bobby Seale.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You've been envisioned that. He said, power. Power is the ability to define phenomena and make it act and desire matter. Power is the ability to define phenomena and make it act and desire matter. What is a phenomenon? Phenomenal is an unusual event that could be scientifically explained. Case in point. Reverend Nett Turner was a realist.
Starting point is 00:21:59 He put his in to the ground. He said, what's phenomenal? As a serving of people. He said, what is phenomenal with these cats? The church. And obviously, oh, this is not our religion, you know, so we come from America. He said, okay, in the meantime, between time,
Starting point is 00:22:11 I'm gonna deal with the real world. You know what I'm saying? Cause we relate to another saying, we say, God created Africans in America made niggas. We say the mayor and the machine manufactured Shirek. So Reverend Natch Turner said, okay, D, this is a phenomenon. Praise the Lord, passed admonition. Harriet Tubman put her ear to the ground,
Starting point is 00:22:31 seen what they call a Negro spirituals. It was a phenomenon. She defined it. So, okay, I'm gonna work this number. When the sun went out, I'm even by the water. Use that. In Chicago, Chairman Fred put his in to the ground. He said, I'm gonna define it.
Starting point is 00:22:45 This ain't nothing new about us having organizations. He defined it and said, let me win certain points of unity. He politicized the formerly known devil disciples. When they came up public, said, we now renounced something known as a black disciples due to the political education we see him Chairman Fred Black Panther Party. You've seen the Black Stone Rangers
Starting point is 00:23:00 take more of a nationalist and stand because of Black Peachton Nation. He was even able to flip the script as the FBI. This is a document. It's a book called Up on Madison, Down on 17th Street by John L. Rice. Where the FBI had told the vice laws, they'd get him 16th Street. If they stopped the Black Panther Party for open the free medical center on 16th Street. Now, a lot of the kids say, I can't believe that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Why would the government do this? If you believe the government, the mayor, the police, who want to stop crime in your community, you believe Don King want to stop boxing. It's done by design. So he subsequently warned the vice laws to work at the Free Medical Center. Even by the government's own records, that was what they call a record load. They called black one black crime. And even, it's comedy.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Let's talk about comedy. Because I times people have, they think politics is just something separate, detached from the community. It was an atmosphere that up to any. It was a different type of athlete. It wasn't fight about that fight to get us another quarterback on the field. The script was flipped. The script was flipped. The script was flip.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Well, athletes say, I'm out of it. How could I support the movement? It wasn't flip. It wasn't vice versa. when you fight to give me a job, mom and Ali taking those stams with you line with the people, you know what I'm saying? It was an atmosphere where the anie was up.
Starting point is 00:24:07 You know what I'm saying? With James Brown, who had a totally different song playing there first, real talk. H-R-Rap Brown, you know, it's a crime in anybody in Atlanta in particular to know who that is. Who's kidnapped out from West to West End who's locked up right now, known as Emil Jimil Alameen. Who's just, they told me, the document was going blind
Starting point is 00:24:26 right as we speak. A-R-R-Rown, literally drove down with James Brown. Man, you better go back in the studio with that garbage, you know what I came back out to him, black and I'm proud. He couldn't have pulled that stuff they pulled it on in the Rocky movie with the red one way of new draws
Starting point is 00:24:36 until we live in America. You know what I'm saying? It was a climb with Marvin Gaye was it would go against Barry Gordon's and I'm going to put this song at what's going on, whether you like it or not. It was a climber. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Realty. Malva Gay, real tone. This would make these cats stick out. Why do you think like in the hip-hop industry? You know what makes Nipsey Hustle in Park unique, you know what I'm saying? This ain't a one-night stand in this politics.
Starting point is 00:25:00 It transcends in the racing, you know what I'm saying? When I first man, Nipsey, Huss, we were backstage around 2011, 2012, Sacramento. I'm a little distance from them. I see the chain, I said, down, I say, here we go again. I'm thinking it's the time, the white Jesus was a big thing. So I get closer, whoa, whoa, hold on, this ain't, this is something different. It's Malcolm X on this chain. I said, man, you're familiar with Chairman Fred Hampton?
Starting point is 00:25:28 He said, Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr. What type of man would I be if I know who Chairman Fredhampton was? This politics does. This shit I could... This is cold in the Jenny Craig commercial. You know what I'm saying? The before and after. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:40 It ups the anarchy. That's why he had to assassinate 21-year-old Chairman Fred. That's why they had to come up the Black Panther Party of everything, including the kitchen scene. Real talk. Because it's up the ante. See, it's between a war and a revolution. A war is two occupying armies. They suit up and they boot up and they get out and they get out.
Starting point is 00:25:57 A revolution, when you gain the mass and participation, the masses of the masses of, the people. It was a different type of a prostitute under the whole chie men in Jop in Vietnam. Prostitutes in Vietnam it was different of a bumbo bee. The Vietnamese would take the bumbo bees and train them come out of bamboo sticks with American soldiers to know if they were shooting that bees or the Vietnamese. The prostitutes would say yeah I'm taking the American soldiers to bed I guarantee he won't get up in the morning. It was a different dynamic you know what I'm saying it was a climb in the 60s where the enemy was up where you
Starting point is 00:26:26 see when the Sada's a crew was on when she was underground on the run people they call scorched earth, spray paint. A solid, you're welcome to come out here. It was a climate where William Thoreau sent in civil disobedience. Where the people said, in the unjust society, the only place for a just man, I'm going to paraphrase, a just man or a just woman, was prison. We were clear. It was a climate where you didn't say terms like, when somebody said, man, you heard a little Joe got locked up? You wouldn't have no reaction and response like, what do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:26:55 You was clear. You're going to say the road to the police, there's an occupancy. Ain't a wall of George, no, ain't a wall of guns and the war on gangs. It's a war on us. As Minister European News said, if we don't fight back in me, to find nothing less than reactionary suicide. It's climbing right now. This movie, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:10 This is, this is not a panacea. This is not an end all. However, look at the type of discussions that's happening now. Look at, I was showing this kid the other day in the studio. He's doing what you call up a bunch of intellectual masturbation. Well, the movie should have said this, the movie should say it there. They didn't say, man, it wasn't no cloak and dagger figure. They're telling you point directly.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Jagger Hoover. You know what I'm in the Billy Holiday movie last night. You know what I'm saying? The different dynamics is showing you how it's impacts our everyday life. That turned quarantine pro-counted intelligence program, not an organization say, just pull yourself out of the bootstraps. The only do what we do, we ain't remember, but nobody else. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:27:49 That's nonsense. It's a war being weighs on us. See, you impact it. You know what I'm saying? You can't have a discussion. Like, a lot of other black organizations, other people can't understand when we go through. You know what I'm saying? See, Billy Holliday had a different dynamic, the Ella Fitzgerald.
Starting point is 00:28:04 You know what I'm saying? She wasn't targeted because of no dope. See, you put in context of dope. That was common back then. But she was targeted because of her position, her stance. You know what I'm saying? The Black Panther Party just faded away because they had issues with gender. You're talking about an organization.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Then at that time, where people didn't know if Pat, you know, what Pat Nixon was, that was, that was right? Richard Millhouse, Nix's wife. They didn't even know if she could even, she was even able to speak. I mean, literally. The Black Panther Party had women in leadership. Deborah Johnson, that wasn't just Chairman Frey's wife.
Starting point is 00:28:36 That was his comrade. She was ranking file. Remember the finance committee, Lieutenant Barber Sanky, the Finance Committee. Nipsey Hustle, excuse me, Nipsey Russell, excuse me, Nipsey Russell. The community, Nipsey Russell. I told, matter of if I told Nifty Hustle about this here,
Starting point is 00:28:52 Mr. Russell made a joke about this. He said, my mother. My mother to be. He said she's about seven months pregnant. He can't add it on to some, you know, tied into it. So even comedy is political. He Nipsey Russell said, he'd come this late.
Starting point is 00:29:05 She's seven and a half months pregnant. She walked on, she comes to meet them after the show. She got these bullets, these bandoliers across her chest. He said, she told him I donated to some money to the Black Panther Party. I didn't give no money, I ain't given no money for no guns. He said, by went the next day and put an envelope on the door for the Black Panther Party Free Breakfast Program. Tell me about that free breakfast program, because that's one of the
Starting point is 00:29:23 because that's one of the most notable things than knowing from. You were actually there as a, you know. The free breakfast program, and it was in the, it was one of the genius, it was one of the genius programs of the Black Panther Party. Politics is like real estate, time, like even
Starting point is 00:29:41 to hit you in the morning, to hit you, like, you hear a different story about our people, like Malcolm X would impact him in sixth grade. The hit certain, like, our community, like, you know, So, first of all, let me preface with this. We damaged goods, all of us, our people, we damage goods. But a lot of people don't understand who damaged them.
Starting point is 00:30:00 You know what I'm saying? A lot of people think black men done it, black woman done it. I know who the damage is. I know what the, when I go to speak players, oh, here he comes. You're from blame the government, blame the system. And we do.
Starting point is 00:30:11 And we do. This, everything you tie into, it got pig hoof prints on it somewhere, believe me. The Burface program, The time they put out for the people. You come in there, it was a program for the people. The Black Panther Party seemed that our children in particular were going to school and their graves were not up to par.
Starting point is 00:30:30 They had to call for no current commission, no study. You know what I'm saying? And then people say, man, anybody that's going to school that's hungry, it's hard to do an addition problem. It's hard to do something to my nouns and, you know what I'm saying, pronouns. They just didn't do it where, say, oh, that's, you know, man, it's wrong with the system doing it. They put programs. And it wasn't programs like engaging, they're going to save you.
Starting point is 00:30:54 They put the programs out, and the people themselves would come on and start supporting and engaging the program. Chairman, you see, Stephen Biko, on the view, Stephen Biko was in a black conscience movement. In fact, it's a movie called Cryer Freedom, Desair Washington portrays him. Stephen Friott. Stephen Biko says black people in particular must distinguish intelligence from the ability to articulate. Big difference. Do that again with that? Black people in particular. must grasp the ability
Starting point is 00:31:20 to distinguish intelligence from the ability to articulate. What that means is, a lot of the time they give our community a whole bunch of intellectual monkeys through a bunch of fancy words and terms, but there ain't no common sense to it. The people are very intelligent.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Chairman Fred said the Black Panther Party have a free breakfast program. The police pull up on them. They say, hey, are you for capitalism? So say, whoa, whoa, no, no. Chairman Fred's said, that's not cool. Police say, what about socialism? So I said, you know what? I really can't debate with those words and terms.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And then police said, what about this free breakfast program? So let's say, this was feeding my babies. If you attend domestic, we'll blow your brains out. You know what I'm saying? The people are very intelligent. But after we get intelligence mixed up with the ability to articulate, you can't black people to play free breakfast program. The only prerequisite, the only criteria was that you're hungry.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Everybody says, why are your last name different than your day's last name? You know what I'm saying? None of that was necessary. Osala Shakur, talking about her book, Osama, it was a young brother in the breakfast program, he was stuffed with some pancakes in Harlem, in the Harlem branch in his pocket. And she said,
Starting point is 00:32:25 little brother, you can never steal from this. This is your program. You know what I'm saying? See, we up the end, it's the difference between rioting and rebellion, stealing and liberating. See, terms are important. So it wasn't no charity, and for you know, the people started running these programs. You know what I'm saying? We are our own liberals. A lot of
Starting point is 00:32:42 organizations, not an individual to tell you, they'll come back and check in with them. See, Minister Eupinu said there's a difference to a revolutionary and a hero. A hero does something. You say, wow, that's crazy. I can't do that because, you know what I'm saying? But a revolutionary, say, man, I can relate to that.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I can pick it up. And that assists with our security. Because they say, man, we knock him up. It's going on and on. You know what I'm saying? Smokey the Barrett. Then you know why Smokey tells you when he sees you passing through.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Remember, please. Careful, it's the least that you can do. It's what you desire. Don't play with matches. Don't play with fire. After 80 years of learning his wildfire prevention tips, Smokey Bear lives within us all. Learn more at smokybear.com.

Starting point is 00:33:45 It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England,
Starting point is 00:34:15 or you go to Hong Kong. Those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

Starting point is 00:35:13 and found the shrimp to make it to the other side. My dad was shot and killed in his house. Yes, he was a drug dealer. Yes, he was a confidential informant, but he wasn't shot on a street corner. He wasn't shot in the middle of a drug deal. He was shot in his house unarmed. Pretty Private isn't just a podcast.

Tune in on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Right, so let me ask you about the movie a little bit. Before we even, you know, get into it, what are some of the things that you saw them do right with the movie?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Hmm. Or some of the parts that you were impressed by. You know, we had a lot of struggles. Let me say this. There was some, like even something, and there were certain things that could not be said because we didn't have a time and space. Because I would say, couldn't this movie tell us
Starting point is 00:36:19 all what the Black Panther Party was? I said, you can't put no shark in no fish tank. You know what I'm saying? This is a movie. And also, in the movie industry, they call a period piece. You know, period piece, you know, everything got beyond point from what Coca-Cola can you have around,
Starting point is 00:36:35 you know what, there'd be a period of time. Also, this is what we call a relevant piece. In other words, we still are dealing with these issues. We still have Jerry Odinger Dunnigan, prison number, C-1-8-58-9, still locked up, directly impacted by William O'Neill. We still have Brother Griggs, who was electric shot by William O'Neill, the agent of a coup d'all. Still, the verdict is not out.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And also, William O'Neill was not the only Asian McIntyre tour. So you've got to be real careful in how we bring out a certain contradiction. You know what I'm saying? So it was certain, let's go at the meeting. We had to put the certain things to say, hold on, that organization, the actual organization could not be depicted because the movie would be incapable of expressing the details of that meeting.
Starting point is 00:37:26 And I recall saying, you know, at the particular meeting that some, you can't keep in mind that we impacted by this system and with a sister going in at that meeting, you know what I'm saying, with the party, it can be like a front to this other organization. So, you know, Niger and others,
Starting point is 00:37:44 Charles and other, Ryan, we sat down, Chaka, we're all versus, we back and forth. And subsequently, that part played out.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And I'm glad about that. I'm glad that stayed with it. Because something, I didn't tell my mother one time, I said, you know what? Maybe me and you are kind of subjective. Things that I take for granted,
Starting point is 00:38:03 that people know or have examples of, they don't know. A lot of you have never seen the gender contradiction. Men and women work together without having a relationship. It's mind-blowing to me. You know what I'm saying? See, in Revolution, you might have to be in a foxhole with a sister. You know what I'm saying? And you can see it with the state.
Starting point is 00:38:22 You see, like, you watch movies called Blue Blood. The TV shows are called Blue Blood. You don't, you see the police say, okay, you're riding in a patrol car with that person. Nothing, your mind doesn't automatically go to, oh, they fooling around. when it comes to our people we cannot even fathom a structured organization dealing with each other
Starting point is 00:38:40 you know what I'm saying? Structurally You know what I'm saying? With a principle So that was one of the good points You know what I'm saying? Also Like one of the chester was shooting out through the window with the police With that scene we actually had back and forth About because initially you had us shoot
Starting point is 00:38:54 the first you know what I'm saying We said hold on it came Because man you the first name for the black panda party Was the black panther party for self-defense Right That's important to put in context Because see, when the police beat you, they're trained to say stop resistant. You'd be confused.
Starting point is 00:39:08 You're like, damn, he beat me down. You know what I'm saying? That's illegal. But the politics of it, they say stop resisting. On their door, I say, serve and protect, you know, I know I just seen them with their knee on the neck of this George Floyd. I know I've seen Derek Chauvin killing this man. But the serving with tech kind of confuses me.
Starting point is 00:39:29 You know what I'm saying? See, everything is political. you know what I'm saying not just is the schools and you if you Google if you Google say police killed somebody you'll be you can't find it you will say you can find um George Floyd passed away as a result of so you know you know what I'm saying it's never saying straight up murdering it's weird you know what I'm saying it impacts you differently you know what I'm saying now you can find a little G killed such such you know you find that you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:39:57 so it impacts you how you even view the police you know what I'm saying so even the imagery of showing that the police were attacking a party. You had three major shooting attacks on the Black Panther Party headquarters in 1969. That scene was depicting July 31st, 19669. Chairman Fred was locked up at that time. And the Chicago police was attacking the Black Panther Party headquarters. They would come in, they would burn the breakfast program supplies, you name it. But that attack, it's important to put out that they were attacked. And people say, it doesn't make a big difference. It does make a big difference. It does make a big difference. difference.
Starting point is 00:40:32 You know what I'm saying? They were defending themselves. Spurge and Jake Winners. That's who Chip and Fred want to be named after them. Defending themselves. So we think we're just reactionary, you know what I'm saying? And you want to be corrected about this whole discussion. Anything that we do, even if we think it's reactionary.
Starting point is 00:40:48 We, like people say, man, I know you tripping, man, police kids, your daddy. No, they, this system, they drew first blood. It put a gun on my mother's stomach. That's the prenatural care I got. One of no Dr. Steffatford School placed on me. The prenatural care I get was Chicago. can i get was chicago police department revolved with places on her stomach this first of all all black people should get a uh uh uh what you call this is a weapon no no no no
Starting point is 00:41:09 no weapon no no what they call now about um they call it award they um they say um so uh novel peace prize all black people should get Nobel peace prize the fact that we ain't snapped out of you know just this same man we just didn't snap me real talk you said it's come through the monse man they did Nobel Peace Prize right you know what I'm saying so to put it a historical context, but also this is an organization that they get up in the morning and I figure out how are we going to shoot out the police? They got in the morning, how are we going to feed at least 3,500 children
Starting point is 00:41:38 in the week in Chicago? How do Mr. Doc Satchel? How can we get the ambulance working the free medical center? How are we going to do the sick of anemia testing? That was the motivation for the program. You know what I'm saying? They were attacked and they defended themselves as death of the health, Ronald Doc Satchel said. Yeah, we are armed.
Starting point is 00:41:55 We are armed propaganda unit. And see, a lot of bogus counterfeit individuals, they jump up. They romanticized revolution. See, leather jacks and berets or whatever, you know what I'm saying? See, Minister UEPN said that we must even politicize the gun. What makes our gun different to the police gun? We had a situation in Flint, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:42:13 So we're from the people with the water, the chemical biological warfare in the water. We designated our troops to go down there, the Black Panther Party Cove Caravan. That's what it was called. Before they went down there, we had a political education. In fact, our deputy field boss, that's who they had the delegation down there. When we got down there, we had the water. Now, National Guard, they have more water than us. But what made our water different than National Guard?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Like we said, we don't make it different. Why don't we get water? Now, the politics. So National Guard, let's get your name, let's get this here. And later on, you've seen the warrants coming down for people tomorrow with your immigration status. If you had a warrant. You know what I'm saying? See, everything is political.
Starting point is 00:42:50 We gave the water, man, you need water. No strings attached. Huh? No strings attached. Right. It's political. The breakfast program. See, lots of them to say, I don't hear a political.
Starting point is 00:43:00 little stuff. Unicle. See, under I got a saying in the 60s, niggas needed Nixon. Nixon helped force catch to come to grips with the politics. See, under the climate of John F. Kennedy, the same John F. Kennedy, the same President John of Kennedy
Starting point is 00:43:16 that was at the end of that movie, that Billy Holiday movie. Give it an award to the FBI agent that attacked Billy Holliday. The same John F. Kennedy that had, was responsible army tanks going through south side of Chicago. on Detroit, Michigan. Same John F. Kennedy on this tenure there was assassinations him after assassinations
Starting point is 00:43:35 on him on Commer, Dr. F. Castro. Same John F. Kennedy was the response to the Peace Court, but it was a class peace. The same John F. Kennedy that told his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, you authorized for the wiretap on Dr. King. Mix and pulled the covers off, said, man, did this hit, man, campaign for law and on, it's going down. You know what I'm saying? So that's, lots of, we're in a client we call a reactionary claming now.
Starting point is 00:43:59 We can't at least acknowledge it. Like you're under Trump administration. I ain't pushing for no Trump thing. But it was acknowledgement. Police pull you over, you know what? I think you, because I didn't have a degree. Well, I'm a Virgo. No, Trump's not all, black, you're black.
Starting point is 00:44:13 We're in Puerto Rico. We threw the toilet, he said, all you're saying to me. So these contradictions, a lot of people can come to them under reactionary terms, you know what I'm saying? In the Vanguard party, you gotta be considered. We had a chapter down here in Atlanta, about 20 years ago. Black Party Cubs.
Starting point is 00:44:28 for different reasons you had to be pulled back timing you know what I'm saying like a relationship you're like man that was a good sister I wish I could be a little more mature
Starting point is 00:44:37 you could have worked it out so the clam see our organization the Black Panther Party Cubs we like the last call for alcohol people who they're here late on when it's
Starting point is 00:44:47 they're going to drink chopped in champagne but they say at the end when they're pulling their back to up and say man who is that they said what's them can's been serving y'all
Starting point is 00:44:56 all the time when it's not popular It was not fashionable. Tell me about the Hampton House. The Hampton House. That's a childhood on, which, well, before he was chairman, the house he grew up in. That's the house in, you know what I'm saying, we didn't found his coat there. That's the house in which, um, across the street is the elementary school, Irvin Elementary
Starting point is 00:45:16 School that he went to. We, you know, saying, we had to go do damage control. Before we fought to take the Hampton House on, I was in West Oakland. It's ironic, the brother just walked in. He said, from Oakland. He said, from Oakland. He said, he said, he said, West Oakland. That was significantly he said that.
Starting point is 00:45:32 That was the area where Minister Eupon, the heart, the first black into the heart of the headquarters is that. That's where the government salted the earth. That's what they pushed the drugs at. You know what I'm saying? The West House of Chicago, they put, they flushed it there, you know what I'm saying, in the Hampton House. They tried it with the Hampton.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I tried to put certain cats into the hustle. We had to go clean house. We said, man, not on my watch. The children went to the school at Irvin. A lot of children didn't even know who Chairman Fred was. And one time, the principal was related to some members of the Black Panther Party. Okay, they're gonna, why they don't know?
Starting point is 00:46:03 We heightened the consciousness of them cats. It was jokes made about the children. They said, man, they gotta get different shirt sizes. They chest start being. They said, man, we go, they were debating with each other. Is that the desk that he sat in? It changed the atmosphere. We had the park, then the Chairman Fred Hampton Park,
Starting point is 00:46:18 down the street, you know what I'm saying? Our programs, the Triple Cs, children, community and cubs, you come to free the food right there. You know what I was it? We correlate it to the Black Panther Party Free Breakfast Program. Free Amal Radio, we have every Wednesday. It's hosted by me, Chairman Frampton, Jr., and Lady of Rage.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Some of y'all probably know it's Baby Dee on Friday. Every Wednesday, tune in, every Wednesday, free on all radio. What about say it again? Free Amal Radio. Hose about Chairman Freehampton, Jr., Lady Rage, Baby D, Robin Allen. This every wind, 6.30 p.m. You can Google, pull it up. Ask Siri about it, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:47 So this is every Wednesday like clockwork. These are programs are coming right up out to Hampton House. This is significant. This is the, see, locations. are significant. It was strategic when Napoleon came through Egypt. He said, there 21 guns slew. Not that nose of their spinks. You know what I'm saying? The house
Starting point is 00:47:04 that was, this is the house of which he grew up in. So it's, it's, it's a morale build, you know what I'm saying? I sit there, to this day sometime. We brainstormed, you know what I'm saying? And we didn't get all, like, it was a cat, it's a TWL, the world's finest. They were young, they were into with each other out there.
Starting point is 00:47:21 They want to do a video shoot. I said, all right. Come on, we're talking, we've been in a studio out there right now. It's come to the Hapton House. They came, they called it a Vortex, one of the coldest days in Chicago history. I said, now we're going to the Cook County Jail and we're going to meet these cats. You know what I'm saying? They met the cats coming out of jail.
Starting point is 00:47:39 That's their video. The world's fine. It's called Free Amall. You know what I'm saying? I'll acknowledge I get some forces here with me today, too, because we deal for some all walks of life. Right. You know what I'm saying? It's a video.
Starting point is 00:47:51 It's not something we got free them all too. My nephew, Don P. You know, so we got a video shoot right there at the Hampton House. You know what I'm saying? The brother Robert Money, Chairman Love Movement because, see, a lot of cats be like, man, the revolution, everybody gets to suit them booted and just everybody, what they call the quote-unquote conscious community.
Starting point is 00:48:08 No, we did the people. You know what I'm saying? Like, wacko flock here came to Chicago one time, so I walked up to him. He said, whoa, whoa, he said, I heard you be here. He said, I heard you coming. He said, one second. So the brother behind him, you say, man,
Starting point is 00:48:20 this one years back. He said, this is the brother right here. So the brother came in something big deep, man. You know, they told me you'll be approaching because this thing we can call the code of culture. Black Panther Party cut a code, we owe cats accountable. We said too many of us and sing, same things for cats we told us, bling, bling.
Starting point is 00:48:34 You know what I said? We, on dayspelled block part, that's us on the stage. I ain't shouting on my homie, I'm talking to my political prisoners. You know, go check it out, you know what I'm saying? We owe, every, no, nothing more. We get the education ethic. Making a school, making a class project, talking about political, Muay-A-Bu-Jumal,
Starting point is 00:48:49 told me what I'm saying, an intoxication, a San Francisco, you know what I'm saying? We say, the Harriet Tubman cone. What that mean? You get out of jail? Reach back for others who are a captain. So then big deal, we're talking. He said, man, there's a joint called Adronis in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:49:04 So we had the joint that night. He said, man, he said, Chairman, how you be going backstage and doing what you did for artists? I said, I just can't drink no aquafina water, man. I got to deal with the good, the bad, and the ugly. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people deal with set conditions. They did with Robert Rules of Order. That's how you have a meeting.
Starting point is 00:49:21 You know, they came to say chairman. Because they have been state trained, state-made. state made you know what I'm locked up and joined this audience asked me is your organization sanctioned I said no I'm proud about it you know saying stop you don't you don't upset me because I won't run for officers in Chicago I said they can't make me they can't break me you know what I'm chairman Fred Hampton see that's it's empowering burn you burn that debt in the Irish Republican Army she said I remember this iron she's bad from the United States she's the IRA

She said, I remember Minister of Health, Doc Satchel. See, he was the Minister of Health, not because the CDC said it. Black Panther Party said it, you know what I'm saying? He was a chairman of the Black Panther Party, not because of Mayor Dedy said it. The people said, Deborah Johnson was his wife, his comrade. See, a lot of people came later on to Oliver Stone said,
Starting point is 00:50:13 man, you think the government killed Kennedy? Yeah, I think so. Malcolm told you when they first went down who did it. But I said, we can't believe it until the, you know what I said? Before this movie came out, my plan was. was give me a white puppet and go on tour and just started saying listen man so kessie man you heard what that puppy said dude we can't believe nothing you know what I'm saying this movie has helped the conversation man right yeah so I was telling the guy
Starting point is 00:50:37 I know I got tired okay let's make sure I mentioned a couple cats bro I don't want to cut you off but that's what I was saying I want to get some more you're gonna curfew I just wanted to get some more your reactions yes sir actual film yeah before we bring some I got yes sir I'm with you it's all it's all love so love you know you brought the family. Can I add some black popper? I ain't seen the movie yet. You know what I ain't seen it?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Stop an interview. I ain't seen the movie yet. Okay, man. God damn, I got some questions. Go check it out before they banned it. Listen, man. I bought it. I ain't seen it.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Go see, listen, man, listen. What we did is we put some Panther Cove political pills in the alpha sauce. It's certain things that we put in that. You know what I'm saying? Here you see, wherever in that tunnel was going on the tour, the lady on the platform. lady on the plantation her brother said man hold on man dude stop what did you let the dude go speak around for right she said he just pre-preaching a good word he said no there's a different
Starting point is 00:51:33 dynamics going on here right you know what I'm saying this so you look at the after effect you know what I'm saying this this is this is a guy who's a guy named marie 10 next to my mother house we stay in and most joining my life we stayed there this guy knew me since I'm three years old he would it'll be issues with him and his lady at the at the at the house they stayed next door. They didn't get into it, police come over there, but all you hear the police on their walkie talkies. You're about the Hampton house.
Starting point is 00:52:00 You don't be afraid of where he's he at? And I would tell you, I said, man, listen, man, this is not about you? Why do you think 15 police cars probably for a domestic case with you? Oh man, they know I don't play, you know what? Flatten himself. It really, the target was this here.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It took this movie film and finally, said, man, I see why you would ban me from the block. You know what I'm saying? I said, man, you're a security risk, Jack. You know what I'm saying? This client, a lot of people don't even know the dangers that they do, you know what I'm saying? See, it's an arrogance. I have no problem with ignorance. We have an issue with arrogance and ignorance. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people deal with subjectivity. The world revolves around them. We did with dialectical materialism. Your actions impact other people's actions. This movie is a man, man, catch, it's certain things that's in there. This character's all this and that. One brother called me, say, well, I wish the movie would have talked about Chairman Fred's International Impact. I see, man, I say, let's be, let's have an honest discussion, bro.
Starting point is 00:52:56 You're the same one. You do independent movies in Chicago. On your own volition, you did a whole movie about President Obama. When I ask you to do a snippet about Chairman Frey, you said, man, I ain't touching that. Let's be upfront about this here. You know what, you know what, this ain't no safe subject, man. It's a reason. We know what to talk about in school.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Let's be up front of us. We know what I'm saying? We know what I'm saying? So it's certain things we got to put in there. I can't even see it coming, you know what I'm gonna deal with all them. Last time I was up here a few months back. Just kept up here, a black youngster. He comes, he'd go downstairs, so I can't, I'm in some of the gas studio.
Starting point is 00:53:34 He said, Chairman Fred, you're going down there? There's no doubt about it. Cut the smoking air thing. You know what I'm saying? I'm studying the people. I'm a servant of the people. It ain't about me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:53:44 Now, you ask a woman, what she'll do what she'd do for a child, you should give a different answer. What I would do what I do for the people? You don't what I'm saying, a different dynamic. So we get out now. You see? That's all 2021. I put that political pill in there.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Like that said, man, you're dealing with this. This is it, man. Before I got back to Chicago that night, then Yelston said, man, call it. Man, chairman, we heard that. Because men as you read as people do not read as much we would like for them to read. So we can be innovative with our tactics. You know what I'm saying? See, Larkas gets stuff laid out there to them.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Here you go. Bam, this is your organization. That's your funding. That's this. You nine to five. You get in, you clock out. out not us not us do it ever surprise you when like the newer rappers of the younger generation of rappers reach out to you to get some game on an album or
Starting point is 00:54:30 give you a slot on the tape or whatever like that I'm encouraged by because the deal is it's a climate because the deal is that fear has been passed down with it's a climate where I even let's go with that for example let's go to the scenario I just laid out to you the movement has been given a white eye It's been given, it's been told, like an elitism, like, you can't, if you do this, you can't involve in the struggle. You kept, like, Yonster, the situation. I just sitting down on me about five minutes, he said, you know what, man, I don't even
Starting point is 00:54:59 gonna smoke around you at first. He said, man, but you, you, you, you want us, you're the people, man. This is what he said. And so we pulled a piece of idea with Fakes, forming on Scarface, Ghetto Boys, pulled it up. It's a piece called Never, remix. He said, man. That shit so hard. You see, you see the remix?
Starting point is 00:55:14 Yeah, yeah. You see it? That last Scarface album that he did. But you see the remix of me, M.D.? I ain't seen that one. Oh yeah, but check it out. Check it out. Take the remix to me and did.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Gosh, I'm gonna fuck with it. So Black Johnson said, he said, oh, what you're doing? You were speaking on that? I said, no, no, no, I'm spending. He said, all, he'll do it with me then. So I said, you said, no word, get the pen and the peon and tie it in. You know what I'm saying? Because the deal is, there's not people looking for gift rap revolution.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Perfect allies, you know what I'm saying? But we, see, we, like a gardener. We study the ground. You know what I'm saying? The term sees the time. I'm like, okay, lock and low, go. It's moves that we had planned to do that here initially. I went through the process.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Likas, they thought they knew what the Black Panther Party was. You can't tell the smart cat, nothing. So I know, I know on a week hour before we're pulling in town, oh, man, they're counseled this event. So I'm used to it. I don't take it personal. So on a pivot, stick and move. That's how we moved.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Lodickett is used to be in the Caesar's palace, referees rules and regulations this is like they don't know rules and regulations us they come in there 4 3rd in the morning blasting
Starting point is 00:56:22 they put sick and all knockout drools inside the Kool-Aid they put Asian vocal tours a lot of cats are in the other arenas it's okay this is legal
Starting point is 00:56:31 we're gonna do this we're gonna lock you up you'll say you have a bail bar man they ain't dealing like that with us man that's that's a reality so I pivot
Starting point is 00:56:40 I stick the move I hit my office was my office the streets I touched down with my brother's name. Scapegoat. You want to plan for me and him to meet. Shout out to Scapego.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Shout out to Scapego. I touched down with him. I touch down with him. I touch down with these justice at Morris Brown College. He's going to do an event there. A lot of cats like, man, hold on. Where you at, man? This event.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Damn, we get down. I want to fight for the luxury to have that space in the arena. We can move on turns. But a lot of times people ask me, how many members do you have in your organization? I say, shh. Not a time to pay on how many people with police
Starting point is 00:57:12 that are murdered. People get involved in struggle one three ways. Inspiration, aspiration, and desperation. See, you're a Field Marshal George Jackson. Field Marshal George Jackson, born in the West Side of Chicago. For now, it was mandatory you get locked up. You ain't know who this was. Field Master for the Black Panther Party.

We said, walked him in the courtroom, get down. That's what he referencing. I'm sure you heard of Angela Davis.

McGee is still locked up right now as we speak, one of the longs your political prisoners. William Christmas, John McLean, held captive. They gunned
Starting point is 00:58:52 Johnson down. They referred to him as a young man child. You're going to say it was a different definition. It's August 7, 1970. August 21st, 1971, field marshal George Jackson and San Quentin was assassinating in San Quentin Prison Yard. Go put up the funeral service from Fieldmont's George Jackson.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Minister Yu-E came up in there, he said, man, Chairman Bobby Seale, Mr. Uri Pee knew and say, man, Fieldman George Jackson, don't bring no flowers, bring shotguns in my funeral. This man, they still talk about him in the prison, the prison records right now. This was, you referred to the Stumper Ground San Quentin. This should be mandatory. See, I told the Johnson one time, so y'all got all these Luchiano and Al Capone. I could go for it if you had nothing else. I'm doing real models.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm no role models. Real people that come from our community, man. You know what I can relate to us, man? He was giving a sentence for one to life for a person action. They said this cat was doing 10,000 push-shoulding, been solid. When this cat hit, man, man,

You know, and I was talking to earlier, even in Yonston, when I speak, I remember when I speak, I was trying to hold my hands down because it was like in second nature to move my hands.
Starting point is 01:03:58 And I've seen footage of him, Chairman Fred speaking, moving his hands. I said, oh, man, it's the business. And, you know, but I was deprived, it was a, I said, I've been suspended from school for just talking about him, you know what I'm saying? And I had a, I was a proud of the political assessment, analysis, what happened to the black power movement? And I people say, well, the movement just died away.

Starting point is 01:10:18 I'm in Chicago, and I got a big event 420, week day, my birthday party and the award for the chairman of the day in Chicago. 420? Yeah, so I got to stay safe and get back, so no disrespect. No, good love, bro. My people I go back and cancel the show they're killed. You're in love, bro. You're good.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Welcome to the trail. You two guys, I mean, funny as hell. I love you, bro. You got good spirits. Okay, man, you're doing great job. Keep up the good work. Thank you. We appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:10:50 For the people throughout the first time I met him, no, I go up in. I can tap in with individuals if they're for the people. Right. First time I bump up here at both. When I, for my first week, I'll be out there with me. Yeah. Over there with more. Yup, and more.
Starting point is 01:11:02 And there's been since then. You see, the thing with the song, I mean the chairman did, see, I know in this day of times, it ain't what you say is how you're saying. So with you, when you're trying to be conscious or get them a history or something, you got to say it a certain way or they're going to shun it. So I try to put it in the way, put it in the way where I can explain the history I can explain exactly what happened with the chairman on the September 169 and explain George Jackson the
Starting point is 01:11:26 field master George Jackson Jonathan Jackson the minister who he knew mention all these names Marcus Garvey all these names that I mentioned in his home but put it in the way where they can understand and that's what I said on like I said the chair said we need to see the visual to them now the vision when you see what I'm saying and it's fast on the screen you can see the people I'm talking about it it's sinking in a little different you kind of understand what but like he said ain't nobody means no bull's name so I know I got to use my voice to recent youth in recent George,
Starting point is 01:11:51 because everybody ain't talking about that. Sometimes it ain't cool. What's right ain't cool sometimes. So we got about being cool. At this age of time, what's going on right now, that's why I went on when I was behind the wall and the chairman told me this, the movie, I already know what he'd been through and what he'd go through,
Starting point is 01:12:05 how many hours of sleep he'd lose and what type of fight he's doing every day. So I ain't got no choice but to get in the ring with him. The worst thing to do is go to war with some soldiers that don't know what we're fighting for. So I'm trying to give him the knowledge and let him know what the fight is and what we're fighting for. How are you gonna go to war?
Starting point is 01:12:18 With some individual, They don't even know what we're fighting for. You just get on the front line with me and just going, and you don't even know what the aim is, what the target is. You ain't got no knowledge. So I try to give them the knowledge
Starting point is 01:12:25 and implement that in my song. So they're like, man, see that, okay, now again. Because a lot of the stories have been walking up on me, like, man, bro, I didn't know who I looked up, woo, woo, I didn't know he did that. But you can't get mad at him. If you never brought it to him
Starting point is 01:12:37 or taught him that, how they're supposed to know it. So I made sure when I was behind the wall, I took enough time as I can to give it to the youth or give it to somebody and prevent them running the same brick walls I did. You know what I? You did, right.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Like, you found a way to relay the message in a way that they would get it. Exactly. You see what I'm saying? You said the wrong way they don't get it, they don't want to hear it. It's conscious rap. So I gave it to him to him where it's constant,
Starting point is 01:13:01 but it's like gangster, but whoa, oh, he's saying this, but I'm sliding it in, so I don't lose, I gotta keep him around. Right, you know, people go and look up. What he just said? What he just said? What he just said? Put that panther cup political peel in the apple sauce.
Starting point is 01:13:13 The apple sauce peel he told about. Mm-hmm. That's up. He said, he said, I was a story. He'd been putting that in me, so I was a story. He encouraged me out once a day. All color calls nobody. Telling nobody.
Starting point is 01:13:23 But I think that's the way everybody just keeps- Structure. We need structure. See, we got to compare liberalism, man. See, structure, we hate structure.
