This is the turning. Hell yeah. For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls. and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man

and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

And we're the host of the Good Mom's Bad Choices Podcast, brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much. And women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribes. With guests like Corinne Steffens. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men.

And then me too happen. And then everybody else wanted to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade, and I called to ask how I was going. She was like, oh, dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school. And slumflower. What turns me on is when a man sends me money.

Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when the man sends me money. I'm like, oh my God, it's go time. You actually sent it? Listen to the Good Mom's Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect Podcast Network. The IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast. But shit, I know you're deep into the music game, but like, what started you? What was the motivation? Man, I feel like I see.

I started out doing poetry, to be honest. Okay. I used to do it, like, in Chicago, they have like this thing called Young Authors Projects, where every year when you were kid, you had to, like, make a book. Like, you had to make, like, a story about, like, niggas was writing about dinosaurs and shit like that.

And I was making little books of poems. I don't know why I was doing that, but I'd do like a book every year and it'd be like 10 poems in it. And they was really good. For me to be like six years old, they was pretty five. And I just kept doing that.

And then I feel like, It was around like third grade, second and third grade, I started listening, like, getting my own CDs and getting into hip hop and I was like, I'm gonna just rap and yeah, I don't know. I feel like most people have like a cool-ass origin story like, man, I was tired of being on the street. But I just genuinely like making rap. Like, that's just like my swag. I don't know. He was like, it was real, could I ask me about why I got this? I'm going to wait for.

I'm like, wait, wait, I hate a balloon sandwich. I couldn't take it, no, boo. No, you didn't grow up struggling and shit like that. No, I mean, I feel like it's a common, like, trope, you know, that it's like, it's like, music is one of the options. But it's like, in reality, it's a art form, like anything else. Like, there's people that are just really, really good at it.

You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not, it's not. just you know like I feel like us as black folks like we have our have like you know understanding of what is wrong what is like good you know art period but still in like creating like everybody everybody got funny friends but not everybody could do what y'all do you know what I'm saying it's like with it's like with rap it's like you know there's a story to tell that I feel like a lot of people want to hear but at the end of the day like how you tell it how your

voice sounds like your tone like You're like, it's an art for him, you know what I'm saying? I love it. That shit lit. Man, you'd be snapping on some music, though, man, for real. On some other shit. We was just listening to the action broussin, man. You really killed that fucking track, man, on the feature.

Oh, yeah. That's the hateful verse. Do people be, like, kind of like, scared the ass for a feature because they know you're gonna go crazy? I don't know, that's a good question. I feel like, I feel like when I get on songs, I try and like, I don't be trying to get on it, like, I'm gonna kill this nigga, right? Right, right.

I feel like I'll really just be doing what's most true to me on the track, and then how it comes out is just how it comes out. But I feel like I'm always down to collab with people, and I like to collaborate with artists that aren't always, like, necessarily just in rap, like, I'll be working with artists that make all types of different music and shit. music and shit. Who knew you had to work with that you ain't did one with you?

This show damn near be connected, motherfucker. That's my time. Yeah, tell it, nigga, tell it. Stevie Wonder, if you're listening right now. You know he watched this shit. Stevie Wonder does sing every episode of this show, man. You laughing. Stevie Wonder, do watch this shit.

It be me. It don't mean me. I just said, I want to work with Steve Wonder. I also want to work with... He watched this. This. Yes. He's seen a lot of these episodes.

Stevie Wonder. You know what I mean. Stop playing. I also want to work with. Y'all gonna fuck it up. I'm trying to really get this Stevie feature. Steve don't follow it. Stevie.

Yeah, Steve. I'm trying to get a track with, uh, with, damn, who's I just about to say? I don't know. You know who I want to work with that I haven't worked with yet? I'm cool with. but I just need some I just need some of their time. I'm trying to work with KDai, yo.

Word. I want to rap with KD, yeah. Kendry? What? Yeah. On TD, they know they fought with you. Those are my people. Make that word.

It's just always scheduled stuff. But I want to, I definitely would love to work with Kendrick. That'd be a fool. Would you want to already have something planned, or would you just be like, let's just start from scratch. I feel like I'd probably come to him with some tracks, like these are tracks, but I feel like Kendrick is such like a musical person. a musical person that he will want to like build something because he's like a i don't know he's

into a lot of different genres of music he's just a he's very art artistic but he'll fuck around and jump on all of them shit what's about what i'm gonna i'm gonna take y'all advice and bring seven tracks no sometimes you just have to say that shit if you know how this entertainment shit is niggins soon as they hear that be like nigger why you may say something that shit might have been motivated him like me for the beat played dude they go yeah yeah Fuck it. You give him the seven tracks and you come in and be like, bro, we can do it from scratch all angle. How you want to do it? I got music already. But we're going to start up. I'm just ready to work, bro. He probably got seven. He wants to get you on. No cap. It'd be like that sometimes. Not how you see me like scheduling. He probably won't do the same thing.

Yeah. I feel like it's probably like you're right. If I hit him up, I'll probably. I'm going to just say it's going to happen now. Right. Yeah. Do artists hit each other up or that's not a thing? Artists hit each other up. Artists also like change their numbers all the time. Artists also be not working on music sometimes, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like he just dropped the album so he probably don't got a track for me to get on, but I definitely got a track for him to get on.

So I'm gonna go with the seven tracks and be like, let's make something from scratch. And then if he'd be like, I'm not really trying to make done from scratch, I'm gonna be like, well, I got these seven tracks. See ya you got to play, my plan. You know what I'm saying? Right, and first I'm just say I got one track. So if he don't like that, I'll be like, I got another until I get to seven.

Yeah. He heard, he already know you got some track. I'm gonna hit him up tonight. Is this live? I mean, shit, it will be easy. We live right now. Your mother, it's old. If you watch it, it's it.

Right now. Speaking of the last, hey man, welcome back to the eight last time. Chair, the reference. We're hooking up this Kendrick Lamarck feature. Kendrick Lamar feature, like just speaking it into his sister. And Steve. And Steve. I beg he get one with Steve.

I ain't gonna be happy if I hit you and Steve. Alright, who else? One more. One more? One more feature. You gotta hit. Damn now I gotta use. That's like a third wish.

I'm gonna think of the right one. Reese just threw Ferrell out there. I was thinking of Farrell out of Adam. I just like hearing great music and people who do music together. it together. Right. You know who I want to work with? I know who I want to work with AP.

That's my homie. And for real. I want to work with Lauren Hill. I would definitely say that. I swear. If you listening to this, I would love to work with you. I swear. You were feeling to say that.

Before you said Stevie, I was going to say Lauren, but you know you got to allow a nigger to think. I swear. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. Please. Please. What I'm saying?

What, that'd be crazy. You ought to get Dyline on a track. Stop fucking playing, man. No, for real. Dylund can rap, man. I never said that he couldn't. I'm just saying, then you die line? All he needed somebody to bring him in the game again.

He did go crazy. I ain't know what he was saying, though, but he was going crazy. Making the baby. I mean, okay, fuck it. I know. We were dead talking about Dileland. We should come out with making a band. I ain't gonna make you go walk with no cheese cake, though.

You're trying to put a bed with you? You go walking in a pound cake, it's a red bell, but not no cheese. Oh, well, definitely. You put a band together? Yeah, I'm making the band. How many people in it? You got to be like, f-s, about the eyes,

because you got to even out. You know what I'm saying? That's a lot of motherfucker. No, that ain't. That's six opportunities. Are they a group or a band? See, they are a band. But one thing, a band got to understand.

There are six different instruments. Okay. You have to stand out regardless. So they're singing. They're singing and playing instruments. Whatever you're gonna bring to the band. Oh. You are a part of the band.

You got to play organ. You don't wanna fuck around there, man. You don't play piano, man. That's the same shit. I do not play piano. I do not play organ. That's piano. You ain't got to use the feet.

So the list is Lauren Hill, Steve Wonder and Kendra Lamar. Kendra Lamar. Oh, 3. That's five. Lauren Hill, Stevie Wonder, Kendra Lamont. All on one track. You don't know. You think that all right?

If that happens, that might, that might open up a portal of blackness. Blackness. That we have never seen just like a blackness portal open up. Yeah. All the ancestors walk out, we are here. For what the concept. Yeah, everybody, bye-bye. Yeah, yeah.

Now, that's been smooth track. We got to take it back. The career music is back in style for real. Because, like, music, you have no choice. If you just listen to music or listen to like the Pandora, you ever just catch songs you fuck with and you don't even know who the niggas is? You know, who they said? Man, I gotta go fuck with Shaw.

But who this is? They're gonna look at their monthly, they're monthly listeners. You're like, somebody listen to this, nigga? I just wasn't. But you gotta understand how deep the music game in, but that shit touching people, but real music, it'd come back in style.

When did it go out of staff? It went out a whole long time ago. What you mean? Long, long time ago. We had access to actually listen to, like, think about it with Spotify and all that. You gotta know about it. Right.

He had to live to go buy your favorite song. So you was only listening to what you bought, nigga. He hadn't know a subscription to go listen to everything. No, you didn't know you liked everything. I know, but now I got a free subscription. We're not free. I got a subscription. You're going to change this shit up.

I got a subscription, but every time I hear this and shit, I'd be like, well, I got to add that to the motherfucker. What? I can be a DJ. Yeah. What? I know some of music about that. That's where I'm saying, I think that's just a small fraction of the shit people really listen to.

Like you said, people listen to all kinds of shit. And it ain't, you're like, it's this dude. He'd make these videos, right? When he go around and he finds people who got headphones on and he asks him what they're listening to. Right. And then he'll play the song. And I'm like, why in the fuck are people listening to just cartoon intro songs and shit? You'd be surprised what next time you see this motherfucker was.

They're like, hey, what you're listening to? There's gonna be some shit you never expected. Beethoven's Symphony 119. It's the one everybody hates, but I like it. What the fuck? I didn't even go, I can listen to TDJ. You do? Surmins?

Like, he, it's, I don't know Spotify got, that nigga catalog. And it ain't anything here. He'll be other niggas in there too. I listen to TDJ's a lot on accident. He didn't talk, man. Because he, I feel like he'd be knowing what niggas be going through.

He'd be saying shit that don't, like, It ain't be like directly the niggins, but you can relate to every situation. Where you're just sitting there scrolling Facebook next thing? You know, T.D. Jake pop up. Don't text me back. I'll get used to it. Don't call my phone. I'll get used to you not being there.

See, when somebody gets used to you not being there. And then you'd be like, how does he know? That boy, that one. He's a kiddie for it. I'm like, oh, all right, Tidi. I know he ain't lying because he's sweating too hard. He's sweating to him. He got to be telling the truth.

He do be... That motherfucking man just sweating. I don't know. I see there's a lot of lights in his church, though. You know, he got a big-ass pulpit. And he goes from corner to the cone. Like, he walks and talk, he gets everybody in his congregation's busy. That might be swimming by the time he turned around.

You know. T.D. Jakes had some easies on. Really? I know T.D. Jake's a real cigarette now. He is. You ever see his Instagram pictures that'd be going on powerful. He'd be having them old-ed uncle's seen so. Killing these young boys.

Remember you had the Versailles shirt on and they put them on the picture with Amigo? No, no. That thing I went in fire, man. We got to get TD Jakes to come on the show, man. No cap. That'll be all right. TD! You got the car, OG.

He ain't got a zombie. They were like, can you make a zombie? I was like, yeah, I can make a zombie. Yeah, I can make a zombie. Yeah, we do that shit like five times. Don't worry. Y'all, y'all. I'm just trying y'all want me to do this.

Yeah, why we do this? Yeah, that shit was fun. I think we're for screen. Yeah, it was for screen. Man. You don't get that? You fuck with the shit? I do fuck with Agna.

It's a lot of, like, waiting and stuff, like, when you have to, I don't know. Yeah. It's a big game. I like, I like, I like behind the camera stuff. I like, like, cinematography, and I like, I like, I like direction. I feel like, the last time I did this movie show, I was, like, on a, I was in, like, a trailer for a long time, because, They'd be having to, like, change the set of where the cameras and stuff. I don't got the patience.

I don't think that's the problem. My only thing I hear when they keep knocking on my door when I'm in the trailer. You can hear him come up to step, because the steps got the... Bitch, what is it? You're just not on him, motherfucker, ten minutes, though. They need you for wardrobe. I'm in wardrobe. They say, you're about to change.

Into what, motherfucker, it's a hundred and ninety-eight degrees outside. Tell them to bring my clothes in here. Four minutes later. They want you all set. With the clothes you got on. We're what? I just thought you told you had to change. I love it, though.

We come with the game. They come knock on their door until you five minutes, 50 fucking time. I don't know what, I don't know what it is about the, it's like also like when you were a rapper or like a public face type shit, it's harder to, I feel like, I respect acting, like I respect like the idea of getting into a role and like making a movie dope. Yeah, and it's also like movies is like it's like a team sport like it's so many different departments making a movie happen So if you to act there you got to like go hard to like carry your weight So I want to do that but then if I'm chanced the rapper the whole time

So I like I like like like like character actors you know like I just had a vision of me chance the rapper Chance the actor nigger when you go into that mode just go into a whole not just be chance to act I could I could get there mentally mentally I could I could be chance to actor, but it's like my face. It was like, you said, it's like, my face is like very, like... You think your face can't change, niggins? That's what I want.

I don't want to, I just don't want like a starring role. I'll be like a niggot that just says a few things, like a mystical character that's like got all types of prosthetics on and shit. Say something that's inspirational and then disappear. And niggas, like, two years later, it was like, that was chance the rapper? He killed that shit. So you want to be like Professor Clumps and just say his speech. Sort of like Professor Clump.

Heavy prosthetics. Yeah, heavy prosthetics. He didn't want to be him. That was you is Thurgood Marshall. That's what I'm saying. Exactly. He's crazy. You played the hell out of Thurgood.

Like fully dive deep into a role, but it's Thurgood Marshall in a movie about somebody else. You know what I'm saying? Not the Thurgood Marshall movie. I got to be a nigga that just... Like he's just showed up in court and never did like that one scene. It's like, you gotta talk to the janitor. And then the janitor is me, but you don't know it's me. And then I inspire motherfuckerger.

message that message that person specific right yeah no I would actually kill that shit also if niggas is cast and director watching that you mr. clog I'll lean on me that was you chance so who are you now I'm trying to I'm trying to be in a movie also like where I'm like like a I don't want to say a bad guy you know I would love to be a villain in the movie yeah because I want to call the house I ain't gonna say you probably, I know you can. I just want to call the house and then they show that little scene where he'd be talking shit. You got to use that bogus accent.

Tell your boyfriend that I'm going to kill you and then just hang up. That's my shit. Yeah, I'll be the terrible motherfucker. Nick, we were just talking about, bro, Keanu Reed, the nigga who's playing John Witt. He don't say shit in none of his movie. He that man. He don't say nothing, bro. That nigga had a whole conversation with a lady at the coffee shop for about three minutes.

The nigga was like, alright. What the fuck? Wait, are you talking about the Matrix? Oh, wait. And John Wick. She was talking about that nigga dog, like how he can't care nobody in intercompton. She was like, that happened to you, John.

A nigga dropped some water. She said, a whole other speak. That nigga was like, all right. I was like, all right. What the fuck. Now, I'm fucking care to me, though. That nigga paid for all his action movie. Because he'd do all that shit for real.

And Ben Diesel. I don't know. I don't know about that. Who? I don't know about... He's gonna be talking about... He'll be speaking about you and none of them fast and furious. That's what I'm saying.

He doesn't like, you're in the car. You're like, where'd they get in the car? No, they always get him some bullshit to say. Be some shit that fuck the whole move here. You remember I'm fast in the furious? That man got dead-ass serious and looked over his shoulder and flexed his muscles and said, I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Who the fucking...

Most to hear some bullshit like that. This shit been good the whole time. What did he say, love? I live my life a quarter mile at a time. How fuck does that even mean, man? Fats and the fears didn't get ridiculous. I like the first one they were stealing shit and, you know, just on a hope and a prayer.

Now these motherfuckers out of space. I ain't gonna like, they're gonna start, ain't like Tyree say help to answer fear. He did, man. Hey, half-assety, baby, boy, shit. They did the little racing and you had that purple car? Y'all can stop playing with home. No cap.

I'm mad as hell at Tyreece. Why? Because he ain't never did Baby Boy two, three, and four. No cap. We want to see Baker Boy, that shit has so much potential. Him and Yvette get back together. They son is a fucking all-around athlete. A nigga, a cold-ed football player and a basketball player,

and he run track. running track too. Jody then got the business booming. He didn't went from clothes to like work outfits and shit. Not him in Melbourne done blew the lawn service up. They tight and get money. Man, that shit could have been. Man, no, they mama then opened up a beauty supply store too.

And she sells juices at the other side. What about the lights did, Nick? Man, that nigga, you're talking about his partner? They're permanent. Oh man, this nigga here doesn't start the youth football program with sleep dog. Got the hood and the snoop done linked up. Oh man, he's no way with the internet.

All them same young niggas that they knocked out in the park. All of them niggas got D1 football office after that. Man. He talked about all the things he knocked out at the floor. Then Pete, old boy who was staying with his mama, hey, he ended up having a baby with an old girl. His son, like, 14, the coldest little rapper, and they little part of California.

Then in three, then in three, like his son go off to college, but it's still like it go back to Jody and then he started remembering who he was and then like it's a love story. Kind of like some why did I get married type shit and then he found out she was cheating the whole time. It's crazy. So do Yvette give us that cry that she did in the car? He don't love me no more. Do we get that same cry? Yeah, there's no. She's cold and it ain't about all that crying and shit.

Now she's more like cooking. from Empire. Her feelings didn't get hard. She's a woman's scorn. Right. You know, and once a good girl's gone bad. What about the auntie that stayed in the house with Petit?

She'd have moved Atlanta. She'd have moved in Atlanta. Right. She out of her. Okay, bitch. It's supposed to be a series is all I'm saying. I mean, I'm not a writer, but I got ideas. I like it.

I'm used to like way more like trauma and, like, conflict and pain in the movie. It sounds like everybody was good. No, I'm just saying, black people, we didn't evolve. Yeah, I like that movie a lot. With your poems like that, though? Well, I'm trying to remember, like, what my poems was about. I felt like they was like, I don't even know what I was making poetry about.

They weren't dark, though. They was like. It was just rap, but just quiet. They was like, is that poetry quiet rap? Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, basically. I feel like they was like love poems and like, Little shit about like you know what you write I think they was rap some of the poems was about how good I was and making poems

Which is basically what rap is so I feel like it was like I was making some I don't know also I was like seven years old like seven don't even try to remember But did like the snap you know when you saw you about snapping that wasn't that wasn't kind of thing It was like written down poetry it wasn't slams like it was like poetry. I was a little boy Yeah I mean that's their part you don't give a fucking be reading off a paper remember Is there the same shit? You said motherfuckers was reading that? That's my right.

A six-year-old wrote this. It's gonna get real deep. I go to sleep when you wake up. Poetry is really deep, though. If you can be... Poetry, portrait. I think... Portrait ain't nothing about motivational speeches.

Most of it ain't deep. It's just said in the atmosphere where shit is supposed to be... Serious. You know. Some of that shit do be deep, though. Some of it don't. Man, some of this shit don't be like some knots, some fake deep shit.

Oh, they'll come out and be like, Peace and blessings to the room, all the kings and queens. I wrote this piece, it's unfinished, but it's something I just want to try out tonight. Is that all right? I said, is that all right with you? Black man, it's time for us to make a stand. We can do what the black woman can't. We got to hold down these sisters, not hold down these sisters.

Be better misters, be better brothers. protect each other from the others. Ooh, from the others. That's an unfinished piece. Y'all can get that on my CD, though. I got the whole version. I'm selling my CD tonight. You want it.

You ain't never got a CD of poems. Oh, man. CD full of poems. So it's a track with another poem on it? Oh, brother, brother, that's the beautiful part about it. Half of it is my poetry, and the other half is my album. album. Yes, yeah.

You flip it over, it's the album, then the poetry. It's two sides of CDs. Yeah, you see, that's why we're letting. There's no label on it. You can see right here in the middle. It's just the center of it. All my history. I got my MySpace, my Instagram, Facebook, everything.

It's all under the same name. It's all under the same name. Mystic Blue. You got to spell it out. Mystic Blue. It's M-Y-S-T-I-Q-U-E Blue. It's B-L-E-W. E W-W.

Uh-huh. Mystic Blue. Mystic Blue. On everything. SoundCloud. Reddit. Fortran. All that.

That's stupid in here. No. What inspired? That one line, and one more niggie try to stop me. There'll be some dread-haid, niggas in your lobby. I felt like that was personal.

Yeah. No, I was just, it was, I was going through a lot of things. At that time, I was trying to book a lot of, like, festivals. I was, like, kind of coming up out of a space of like acid rap, which my second mixtape, was kind of like the point where,

shit, that's an album though, I'll take it. It was a, it was a, it was a time where like I was looking for deals, right? Like 2012, like, yeah, like, in the middle of 2012, I just dropped like a mixtape about me being suspended from high school. And so I was like, that was around the time that Keith came out, dirt came out, a lot of people like was flocking and Chicago, like, different labels were looking to sign people. So I started taking meetings around that time, right after I dropped my first tape.

And then, right before I dropped ASRAP, it was, like, costing a lot of money for the lawyers to, like, look, for, it was really one lawyer. But for them to look at contracts, I was just like, this shit's not feeling right. I'm paying a nigga to say no to people. So, like, I'm just stop getting contracts. So I told them, don't send me anything else, I dropped my mixtap. So I dropped ASAWRab. And at that time, I was on, I was opening up for Mac Miller. And once my tape dropped,

I was being like in front of these people, I'm a P-M-P-M-P-Boy. It, like, you know, it took me up in a different direction. I wasn't really, you know, trying to sign at that time. And so when I was making coloring book and when I was about to drop coloring book, it was like, you know, I was just running into, like, little weird political shit,

like with, like, shows I was supposed to headline or, you know, TV spots or, you know, trying to get features back. and I felt like it was kind of just on some, like, I didn't sign the motherfucker, so that I was, like, trying to just tweak them. So I just made the song on some, like, funny shit wasn't, like, a direct threat to anybody that I met,

but it was really just, like, some, like, I don't know, some empowerment shit. It just felt good to sing that shit, too, like, for a long time. And then for that shit to, like, go number one at radio, for that shit to win a Grammy, like, yeah. Yeah. Oh, my fucking. I felt good, though.

That Grammy shit, though, man. Yeah, man. Grammy, though. Yeah, man. It's not Grammy name and name. Winner. Winning. Three time.

Three time. So Grammy won, so that's where they come from. This was just me saying, speaking shit into existence. No, I feel like it was a, it was a crazy time. Also like when the Grammy shit was going on because it was such a big conversation with when I dropped Asterap because it was like it was like some low-key like cultural shit like it wasn't as big as coloring book or anything like that but like on some like underground and like people in college like it was like a thing that was like traveling on some real like fan shit and there wasn't really nothing in the market like at all you know straight fan driven not even like wheat paste in or like street team shit but just niggas was listening to the tape and after came out, I got approached by different people telling me that if I had sold the project, if I put it, you know, for, like, even if I just sold one copy, if I set up like an IRSC code

that I could get nominated because the Grammys didn't, wasn't nominating people unless they sold that shit. And I was on my mixtape shit. So I end up saying no to that shit and not selling it. And then when I did coloring book, it was like a part of like my whole, you know, You know, I was like, no, I was like, fuck them. They gotta change for me. You know what I'm saying? And I fuck them, because I still wanna win more at Grammys. Yeah, I'm like, I'm trying to do this shit

specifically my way, and so that, you know, Colour book end up being the first, you know, mixtape to win a Grammy, first project that wasn't so, you know, no physical copies. First mixtape to win a Grammy, man. So they changed the rules, I think, in like, that's September. Like, like, so my project came out in May, I would say, like, six months after they did that. But it was like a whole thing where, like, you know, people that work for me and, like, people

that knew the situation that happened when ASRAP was like, you should just make some, make some CDs and just sell the CDs. Like, just so, like you say, like, just like, so that you can make sure that you get, that you're work could get recognized this time. And I think just like the way I be operating and thinking about everything I do in music, like I'm always trying to like figure out ways to do it different, to like create more space for us because I know as artists, like especially musicians, like we want people to experience our music in different ways. We want people to experience our music for different reasons, sometimes money's not the

thing, sometimes we just want to share art with people and shit. And so I'm always like trying to figure out different ways. ways that I could like directly connect with the people that's trying to that need to hear that music you know what I'm saying so like put that shit out for free put it out on SoundCloud put it out on you know on a streaming service at the time that shit wasn't even really like that like it wasn't really on Spotify Apple music and all that shit they were all like kind of like in a war trying to get you know niggas to subscribe to that shit so it's like capitalize on that time and just still be an artist and be in your artistry and like make what you want to make

but like capitalize on the moment and make sure as many people can get it as possible, you know? That's lit. Licked, nigga. That was a lot. You just got to let that type of information just sit for a second.

You really just put them up on some game. Like to go through that whole process. Look at the outcome. Because a lot of people don't want to do the free, the free situation. There's nothing to the consumer to buy it to listen to it. For free. Look how fast a motherfucker

listen to it for free version of no spending $5.99. trying to listen to your shit. Oh, for real. And we still Grammy nominated. I'm so appreciate it. Ooh, that they can fuck the game, Rob. Yeah, you gotta take a chance with this shit, man. Damn!

And the crazy part about those platforms are still there. Yeah. That's the crazy part about it. I think this shit gonna still just keep evolving, y'all. Like, that's what I was gonna ask you, like, after going through that, like, what's your method now? Like everybody, you wanna hold another level, you're out the stratosphere, bro.

Like even if you stay independent, you still have already reached the motherfucking shit. Yeah, it's like, I think like my, what I've been trying to do is figure out ways to like tap directly to like somebody that's like, because that's what, that's what it's like, I think it is for all artists is like, you get told to like try and blanket people in,

try and like get like the, you know, cast a wide net and like, you know, go to spaces that are like, big public spaces like late night TV or like on the radio or, you know, whatever, to like, but it's like stuff like this, like this is y'all own show where y'all got your direct fans, right? And it's like when you, excuse me, use stuff like that, when you like, I just did something with the last track

with the highs and the lows, I did something where like, I found like an old mailing list of like, from years ago, like my OG fans, just people that, just like bought a sticker or something on my website just like random emails and sent them the track like the day before it came out on some like direct messages were like a little like you know personalized voice note to them just like yo I fuck with y'all they went on here yeah and it's like people love that shit they love to get something that's just for them and like feel like they in conversation with an artist because artists are high communicators that's like a comedian or a

writer or a painter like we're high level communicators and like we can communicate different emotions, different situations, and like the most beautiful or funny or like, or like, you know, just cool ways. And so when a fan feels like not only can they hear you, but they feel like they in conversation with you, it's like, that's how you got that forever, bond. That's how you have, like, somebody that, you know, stay supporting you. Yeah. Man, you say you were trying to book the festivals and shit, and then you did all of them. Like, now we're going to do our own. That's what we're talking about.

We're going to Africa. You see what you're going to do that. There, I can't fucking wait. I'm staying right by you, though. We are. Look, look, all right, so look, that's how it is. I'm going to walk a little bit. I know me. I'm going to start walking.

Oh, it's going to be, it's going to be like a, it's such a crazy thing to experience because I feel like when you're going out there, even, like, some people just trying, like, I don't know, it's like a distance that's just like there. It feels like it's so hard to get there. And like, I feel like most of the people in this room, how many people here have been to the continent? Anybody been to Africa? It's a few.

These, my friends, they just came back from Africa with me. Put your hands down. No, I'm just saying it's like a thing where I didn't go until January this year and I've been traveling forever. I tour everywhere. Like, I've been everywhere. Australia, New Zealand, Asia, South America, Central America, all over Europe.

And small markets, too. And that's not, it's like by design. like they want like when you you start to come up they like this where the money is this is where we want to send you this is where you're going this is you got a lot of fans here but i'm telling you joe when you get off the plane as a as a person of your stature yo like your fans are there and they was there before you was on while now like we have like we have real connection because it's it's it's culture it's like that that shit transcends you know what i'm saying and so like we have this like this needed connection even not for just

just artists just for people like Ghana is a country that was like literally founded on global blackness and like the idea that we all supposed to be you know connected like when they president like into colonial rule and stuff like he like made it up like a basically like the country's mission statement to have a free Africa and connect all the people of the diaspora so it's like when you go there it's because it's founded on that because this is the this the one country with like they white house has an Office of Diaspora and Affairs. Like, it's like a thing where they want,

they're so hard to explain, so much information. But they want you to come, they want to help you, they want to, like, they want connection. And like, that's what we all need globally,

not just like Americans there, but like, you know, people in the islands, people in South America. It's black people everywhere. Like, literally everywhere. And so it's like, this is like a,

I think a crucial time, just like in the climates in every space, like any place, that you look in the world black people like we're in need of something and at least like connecting i feel like it's going to give us a better sense of what we need and a better community to get it done so trying to get as many motherfuckers to pull up as many ganans that already live there to pull up like it's going to be it's it's going to be one of those like that's one of those

i can't fucking wait you feel me let me know so i can plan it out of the scale of next year January 6, yes, 20, 20, 23. I might have to miss this one. What about the next one? January 6th, you go, where are you going to be on January 6? Oh, no, I think I got some shit, fuck, man. All right, don't say that on the camera. Be like, yeah, nigga, pull up to Africa.

We're going to pull up, me, the shit, niggum. We're going to fucking beat up. I'm going to make a video. I'm going to feed out. No, we got all the Canadians. What are they called Canadians? Gagnans. Ghanans.

I don't want to call it a Canadian. Gannians. Not Canadians. Canadians. Canaanians? Come on. Nick, I didn't know about Canadians and shit. Now all the Canadians is gonna watch this shit and be like, fuck us, huh?

You don't know about the Canadians? Ghanaians. All the Ghanians pull up. Those are the people from Ghana who live in Canada. The Canadians. I don't know. I'm trying. It's gonna be one of those, though.

It's going up January 6th at Black Star Square. Hey man, what Barack Obama been up to? I don't know, man. You're talking to me? Yeah, I don't be seeing Barack Obama. Like, Trance. That's not even a good one. That's not even good for Obama.

Bro, I do it all the way though. You like Tim digging in the Tobin. Do it all the way. Like, do like 10 words of Brock. Oh, you're going to do the Barack. You don't feel like I'm confident now. My mama told me I'm doing good. All right, hold up.

Chance? Tracts. I heard the rap. I didn't know that you was Grammy nominated. No, Grammy won three times. Uh, is that a good? That's good. All right, all right. Mama, you laugh! No, that's a good brand impression.

Yuki Anna Reeves' impression that was good as fun though. That's it was all right. All right. Before you know, that nigga, Holliday, going crazy. But he killed that nigga, that intercontinental. Boy, I said, oh, he's with this shit. Said, no, John, don't kill him in the intercontinental. It's funny watching him do anything after he did Bill and Ted.

Oh, yeah. Bill and Ted was the stupidest motherfuckers. I only got seen that movie. I know that shit was way before your time. Was they time traveling in that? I'm traveling in that movie. Yep. They had Bill and Ted Excellent Adventures.

I think that's, or I saw what it was called, like, Bogus Journey or something. They had, like, two or three of them. Yeah. Bill and Ted. Bill and Ted. That was probably when he realized I just need to do all action movies. That's the crazy thing about it. It's just been the same motherfuckers for, like, the last 30 years, man.

They got budget for that shit, though. Think about how much wind capacity you got for them. How many movies can people do before? This shit ain't believable no more, like you said, though. Like, this nigga, again. Like, sometimes you just do some shit so good. You can't really do shit else. But you know how many people in the world?

Like, Terminator is Terminator in everything. He got a Terminator crowd. And love to see this nigga terminate some shit. That's real. He's the Terminator or a kindergarten cop. Damn, I used to love him. That's some of his best work right there. Oh, my God.

I forgot about that shit. That's something of his best work right there. Kian Reed, man. I fuck with that. They didn't make good shit like that anymore. Like kindergarten cop? Yeah. For my heart podcasts and RICOCOPunch, this is The Turning, River Road.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man? And in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the predator. pray. And then he became the prey.

If you like witty women, then this is your tribes. With guests like Corinne Steffens. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happened. And then everybody else wanted to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade, and I called to ask how I was going. She was like,

All they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school. And slumflower. What turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when the man sends me money. I'm like, oh my God, it's go time. You actually sent it? Listen to the Good Mom's Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

That movie was fucked up. His wife was a prostitute. Everybody was trying to fuck Jessica Rebecca. The humans was trying to fuck all the cartoons wanted to fucker.

Come on, man. Why a cartooned these big tinnies and a fat ass? The finest bitch in the cartoon, even the real police officer, like, I'm just saying, we grew up on a whole different type of bullshit. Your generation grew up with some babies chasing reptile and shit. Ooh, okay, come on, man. Yeah, I like redgrass. I know, man. Oh, I put a real red and recess.

This guy turned to a satellite, tell him exactly where it is. Michael Jordan put this suit on and he could fly. Bo Jackson put his suit on, he fucking turned super strength. He could run through the walls and shit like juggernaut. It was crazy. We grew up of Kim Possible, my wife. I don't tell you. Like, you hear me?

Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter, doesn't matter where. It doesn't matter where. You hear me. Oh, you're trying to act like we didn't have shit that was better than that.

If you're talking about a cold-ass theme song, that would never be a theme song better than Alvin in the Chipmunks, nigger. That nigga, him and his brother sung their own theme song. Three little black dudes who lived with a white man who had that pay. What was you talking about? And he knew that they had talent

because they were the best singers in their whole fucking state and Dave let them do their thing. They had motherfucking customized t-shirt with matching hats and their shoes, matched the t-shirt. Albert had the red one with the acre he was the lead singer.

And then Simon, that was his brother who was smart. And then Theodore, he was talented as hell and could play the fuck out some instruments, but he was shot. He liked to eat, and he was fed and insecure about his wife. Little fur, nigga, that you all those tunes, they were crazy. Where the chipmunks, niggas? That shit used to go crazy.

Alvin, Simeon, they had some dishes. Dido? Nugge, nudge, nitty. Nigger, they needed behind the music. They probably was this close to signing the Motown. No cover. They was going to pick up where the Jackson 5 left off. And y'all don't know.

Remember the girls, it was Brittany. And the other girls, they was the girl version of Alvin and the chipmunks. Y'all don't know. You're gonna be talking to me. I fought with at a maniac, my boy, you tripped. Animaniac. Annamaniac. Y'all's, we wrecked your shit.

No, you don't know. All that sighty shit, add that shit up. That Darkwing Duck? Oh, Cowles. Darkwing Duck was a fool. They had the theme song, Joe. Okay, so you're gonna bring up Darkwing Duck. Oh, that mystery.

Darkwing Duck, um, um, um, dun, turn, thun, who's bad? What? Dogwing Duck. That one, that was a little. That's on there somewhere? Now is the perfect task to acknowledge, though, that launch pad was the hardest working duck out of all of them ducks.

Launchpad was on like four, five shows, man. He was on duck tails, too. He was on duck tails. You're right. And he did a few guest appearances on, the old, the shit with the two chip, with the two chipmast that was detectives. Chip and Dell.

Chippin' Dell. Rescue Rangers, he was on tailspin. Hell yeah. He was, lunchpad was on. was on everything. Shout it with the goat. Real. Shout out to Uncle Scrooge.

He was trying to teach us financial freedom way back then. Kept telling him the motherfucker. Y'all don't need nothing. The fuck are you talking about? Stop trying to feed every goddamn about it. Nick, Uncle Scrooge might do some shit like fly to India by his goddamn self to get all the gold out of cave.

He don't even know his nephew them to snuck on the plane and helped him. old time. We had some fucked-up cartoons, man. Inspect the gadget. What about the other one, running, Stippy? Really Stimpy? Beavis and Butt-Head. They were on cocaine. I ain't fucked with South Park. To this day, I can't get this shit.

I don't know why. I can't get me that shit. Well, that's some of the funniest shit ever. I can't do it. That shit's just stupid as fuck. The little boy kill itself every show. Every time, then he comes back to life. Like that? That ain't how this shit go. Why these kids think they can come back?

Because it's all right. They say they come back all the time. That ain't how that shit go, go, nigga. Man, time's done changed. You got to watch with your kid looking at on Denny Channel. I remember we used to watch motherfucking Looney Tunes and shit. Bugs Bunny used to do all kind of shit now that I know as an adult was fucked up to see as a kid. What he do?

Man, Bugs Bunny used to do shit like jump out the hole, stick two fingers in the hole, and stretch the hole and move the hole and shit. Like I ain't know what he was doing until you've never seen that episode of that niggas jumping the hole and move the hole Or he'll just like boo and stretch the hole I'm like man that's some different type of shit and why he used two fingers What that means what he used to do shit like like he'll see it later like a girl rabbit or something shit and he'll just like throw the cowboy hat on roll the cigarette real quick like why does this nigga get so much swag so fast? Right He was a swar-bad nigga, man. We were slow back then, too, man. We watched Tommy Jerry, these niggins ain't saying shit.

We were watching these motherfuck around the house. All day. We just sitting there, but he ain't gonna never kill that mouth. Did he ever catch that mouth? He caught that mouse every fucking episode. That's how much you forget that this shit was all the trick. That nigga caught that mouse three, four, five times an episode. All he had to do was eat that nigga.

He didn't ever want to. It wasn't about that. What was the mouth cook? Bro, sometimes it just be beef. You ever had just like, it's like brothers. Right. It's like, Nick, I ain't gonna kill you, but I show you that. I take it there and then I'm gonna let you go,

but it's still on-site beef. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? With my own sight, I'm on your head. Right, and then I think they had a little agreement, like made the people think that it was more than one mouse. Mm. You feel me?

He made it. He made it. Exactly. But that nigga was smarter than you think it was. Like think of the shit that the cat was doing when he wasn't chasing the mouse. This nigga was sitting in the chair reading the newspaper and shit.

That guy though, he was trying to see like, I ain't stand you, but really I'm thinking about you the entire time. Right. So he's like, they come outside. I'm reading my newspaper. But these cartoons had a message though. Right.

Like Tom and Jared just was just showing you like no matter what the fuck you do in life, somebody's still gonna be on your ass. Never get comfortable. Right. That was the message in that one. Pai Pipey, the Sailor Man. Now that shit was so powerful.

Right. Because think about this shit. He fucking with Oliver every episode. Right. Every episode, he got it in the beginning, right? Every one. To this other nigga come around. Then Oliver get to acting brand new.

Right. Like, everything, she loved his new nigga, right? He just walked on the old old wall. She loved his nigga, he's bigger than Popeye. He looked stronger than Papa, right, right. So he's just to pull off the strength. Right. Then he wants some of that pussy.

As soon as he get up by herself, he started kissing on the neck, what's he say? Oh, Popeye. What Popeye's stupid-ass do? Always. What do you say? Always. Running his dumb-ass up there.

Guess what he did? Guess what he get every time he run up there? What? Oh, that fucking, oh, the other nigger put him in a terrible position. Beat him up, though. The other nigger fucking, I know, he don't just beat him up. He beat him up first, and then he do some shit like tie him up in a railroad with a bow on his chest. Right.

Puppa, can't do shit. Pappell is fucked the shit out of him. Oliver watched the whole thing. Turned her nose up and left with this nigga anyway. Damn it, indeed. That nigga got to use the bottom of his pipe to cut the spinach over and then suck you through it. Go over there and beat the shit out this nigga. Why do Popeye fight this nigga every day without spinach?

No one he can't whoop this nigga without spinach. If he tried to feel like he don't need the spinach. Man, that nigga wish he didn't eat that spinach. Go over there every time and don't eat that spinach and get his ass tore the fuck up. That's a dude. I'm through fucking with them cartoons though, man. What you look? Yeah, go ahead.

Hey man, I don't know if you still in here, but we're just chilling in the trap today with chance to grab for getting out of mind. You know what I'm talking about the ups and the downs. Mostly the ups. That shit gotta feel good, man. To do shit your way and still win, though. That's exactly why we keep this show right here going.

You want some pieces or something? I'm straight. You don't eat this regular shit. I don't understand, my nigga. If I want to drink it too, I won't. No, I just look at it kind of different, because I would eat it. pizza and it was dominoes but I wasn't gonna actually say I told that

niggins don't eat no godfam damn as the nigga eats dominoes no they came in with 12 dominoes cases I was like I'm like these niggas love bro anybody who'll tell you no you're not doing a podcast for real if you know I have no piece on set no you got to I mean that's the official food of podcast yeah Evo buss no who these is right here came out dominoes motherfucker this ain't domino's you crazy's hell oh they number oh I told you no I mean, we convinced Domino's, though, on the shit. My connection.

I didn't shit, Domino, y'all gotta keep putting pieces for black folks in the black box. Yeah, that's a little bit of design. Yeah, man. Y'all going kind of crazy. It takes a little there. Domino's was the first job that got me out of saw. Take a little bit there.

Domino, I take everything back I say. You can think of first sponsor? No, I said one. That's the first job that actually got me out of poverty. You ever have a job where you ain't broke no more? That was the first job I had where I wouldn't broke no more. So I'm always fuck with Domino's the long way. I used to work with...

We fucked with Domino's for real. No, it wasn't that they was there for me. They provided an opportunity and that's what really showed me how to expand my hustle. Because it's like the jobs, the jobs, like the way that they break down, it's like you can make as much money as you want to. It's all in about your need and desire. Because once I figured that part out, I was a fucking dog. I was a dog because I was like, you mean to tell me I can write my own...

I'll have been driving that selling me man I tell anybody who got some sense of where you live at to go deliver some pieces because you can make a hell of money every stop you go to you always say hey no it's smoking or something no and it's one of them jobs where ain't nobody on your ass because you're going all the time you go in there and deal with them folks for five 10 minutes at a time then you right back outside with it and then you can come back when the fuck you want to it ain't like a piece man we're getting robbed like but you got be like have some like sauce on you a nigga like oh no I don't ride her he'll cool

that's the thing about the fucking piece of community you think they don't know where all the robberies and shit be happening there let the motherfucking get robbed the dude the nigga who delivered a piece of like hey we ain't coming over there meet me up the street at the gas station I'm not coming over there no fuck I used you be a call your a hey yeah this delivery drop y'all got any dogs, niggas outside?

I sold dope and then I just started liking it.

I didn't just say a dope cause I want to go out here and say it no motherfucking dope. He got the worst excuses about this dope shit. What I do with this crap, man? That's the fuck. The fuck is this, man? You taste a little, this shit's bad funny, man. Man, this is crazy, man. Right here touching this shit, man, I want to play ball, man. Now, when you think about that shit,

that takes some nerves or still, brother, sell. Crackers, you have to deal with crack heads. And most of them motherfuckers look like monsters. Like the type of shit that I would see when I close my eyes at night, it would give me nightmare. When the motherfuckin' trying to hang you that dirty-ass crack money and you see that open, you know the money. Ugh! You didn't bleed, fucking.

Why are you bleeding? Why are you bleeding? You ain't pulled my tooth out, give me fat or I'm pulling my fuck out right now. No, fuck no. Now, I'm gonna stole copper. Man. You need to go strip a whole house out. I'm all copper.

That shit, they know they be doing, they be resetting that copper, bro. I'm thinking about giving the copy bitch. Don't. Don't. Because you know when people be rehabbing houses and shit, they always try to put the cop in last, because motherfuckers will come in there and still are all shit.

He ended up having a fleet of ships and used them like to start a cargo company that made trade from the U.S. to the islands, to the

continent and eventually he started like making passenger trips so like taking people you know that were trained in different trades around and like creating like a network of black folks like from from all over and shit and then in 1922 the US government framed him for mail fraud and deported him they shut down this star load but his but the shipping company was was like iconic to a lot of people because they would see these big ships coming in the they would see like people from all over the world and you know they were niggas on their boat like yeah you know what I'm saying Marcus sent this bitch oh black black

When you go, like people go to work and they start doing too much shit, you know what I'm saying, trying to help out. That's where you get fucked up at. Because once they see that you can do this shit, sure you're always gonna be short-hand. Nick, if you come to work and you're doing too much, if you're fucking cook, and then you're trying to take orders too, they're gonna put your ass in there by yourself.

Do your fucking job. See, they didn't try me like that. They just fire me. I can see it. They like, oh, little butter on the fry and take an order? Yeah, this is your lad. That ain't my wife. You got it.

You had some hating-ass job. That one I'm trying to tell. It wasn't that I was trying to get to the boss. I was just trying to be great. Like, you won't be stacked home.

You gotta lie on one day, but like, hey, look, at least on Thursday, I can't be, I'm not available from three to five. Act like you got something else to do, man. Don't be just desperate as fuck on these applications. They can smell desperation.

I thought they said answer to the most honest you can be. No. Why would I say I'm busy on Thursday? And I can be making money with them. them on Thursday. I'm not busy. You can work, you can negotiate that later on. They just ain't a hard. Because they might just interview you just to see why you ain't available Thursday.

You could just come over there. Oh, well, shit, I build boats too. See, he ain't had it been tempted. The best job I ever had, though, I was working at this steakhouse, right? That shit was way down in the woods. And we used to get the work like an hour early. They told you, like, they'd be here at six. And then you get there at six.

and then everybody's just getting hot so we can start working at eight I'm like this is strange they ain't never gave a fuck they had one real job they taught me how to make a cream bruleado I don't want to talk about it is a secret because the shit I had to go through to learn it it ain't worth just telling motherfuckers for free it's an experience yeah me my boy you ever had a job bro I'll have some some random like me no cream brule Now we're a rap.
