They just brought it out of me, man. That's the year, man, that nigga Pop. You got to have Andre Taylor on. I'm telling you that, nigga, Pac. I don't tell her, man, I need too pot. But why you don't know Andre Taylor, George is straight? Oh, hell, yeah. I'm not too familiar with, bro.

What? What, see, now, now I'm taken away from the game. You didn't just lost, you didn't ever watch American film? American Pimp. Are you talking about the Darsky and a guy? No, the one that said, we're playing for big stakes. So I come in, my host, he's going to break all these niggins that the one. Where they from?

From Oakland. That's why I'm questioning your history at this point. Andre what? This is institutional knowledge. Gordresne. Andre Taylor. What's his real name? Andre Taylor.

I don't know that. But you should, you never watch American Pell? No. See, this is the problem with the new. You got to get your game and your history right. Go back and watch American Pell. And they don't fucking out there. You're all the way back.

Watch Pelt so hold down. So it would be fine. Bro, the Mac? No, this is a real-life documentary. Oh, so they followed. Came out in like 0-1-2. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it just only was that all the niggas on there.

No, he wasn't in front of him. They had Phil for Slam. He was promo from there. It was hell of it before I'm wondering. Yeah, but so. So. I love it when you watch. But fast forward, though, Andre Taylor, who has passed some of the most

aggressive police reform in the country in Seattle, Washington. So I had them as one of my co-hosts on. heads on 10. I'm telling you want somebody sit and talk about that politics and that pimping that shit. Because he got into politics and he was a pen first. He did time over being a pen. But ain't too many niggas in America. That's what niggas should have did. Right, but it's the same

shit. That's what I'm trying to. You was doing it. You just didn't know how to be organized. I realized me being a comedian, I realized like, damn hell of pips gonna be comedians. Right. Because all you doing is giving gang. Right. And making it funny. Well, I know that's my style. I don't know about. Well, some things ain't funny them, but I understand. They ain't nothing funny about their money. But maybe you had to joke your way through the game. Well, you probably had joke your way to the game.

Nah, I'm not a pimp. I'm a player. Oh, okay. I'm a player. Yeah. A player got a little bit of pimp in it, though. Of course. For sure.

For sure. You got to switching your feet up and doing all the time. That's our culture. That's like no more. Yeah. You go out for a little more. No more. No more.

I don't want to be no pimp. That's a stressful-ass life. Right. I don't got the energy to be a pimp. I got this. Besides, if chasing your ass around. Right. This is the life.

I got to encourage them because I try to get niggins understand their natural qualities is the same thing when you said I could do a bitchy to TDJ so I can do with council no that's fine it's the same thing me you tell me about you no I don't never look at what somebody do and think you can do it that mean that they do it well if it looks so easy they think you can do it that that means that they doing that shit to the man that's what is that's when you get real good at some shit yeah I'm telling you fucking do shit. I'm telling you that the game you got it. Because Pippet

looked like it's easy and it looks for it. But until you really start to participate. It looks like on the outside. Outside looking at it. It just looked like you tell the hell of bitches what to do. They bring you money back. And you wear a hell of jewelry. That's one money ninth of the shit.

You got to do it. Yeah, I'm going to say. That's just a look. But that's just like in elected position. It look good. You think it's whatever, but you got to be people. The mom's daddy. School board, this, dad, everything falls on you.

If you're a same thing. If you are, real pimp, you can't do nothing else besides pithing if you're a real pimp. I'm not talking about you pipping on the side. That's, pippin ain't the action. Pippin is the job. So if you're a pimp, you can do anything,

nigga, you can be a pimp and get a job for the city and pimp your way in a never got anything to do shit for you. You're right, but that's my way through comedy. Exactly. Nobody. It was a good way on the weekends and has that a hell of holes. Yeah.

This thing will cut your head Monday through Friday. Yeah, but see the heck could. was just out of love with the game. It ain't like he needed that thuddy. Hell no. But most, most preachers were why he got to purring this.

I mean, again, it's still game. Yes. It's still, again, the same speech pattern. Me, you, us, tell you a little bit about me. You'll tell you a little bit about you. You tell you how me and you're going to get this money. Yeah. So whether it's pimping me.

Because God never pimp. That's the way. He made a bastard. Yeah. He found the whole board. It was like God had a little face. Well, he was just making anybody ordained. He was just picking anybody.

He was like, man, give me some of the voice. Give me some pimps. Give me some holes. Give me all along. Then he reformed them. Right. And made him good people. But that's literally what Jesus did.

Like he literally wouldn't talk. Who else? But a pimp can get somebody to follow you and walk on water. It's the same thing. It's the same talk. It's the same. I'm going to revive you. When a pimp go see a bitch down,

hey, baby, you're looking, you're looking fucked up. You're looking like you got this. You're like, come with me. You got a nod and you together. We can get this done. That's the same thing the past is do. I'm a woman of God. Me and you together and get this done.

Same thing politician do. Me and you together, I just need your own little donation. It might be the weed, but the way that y'all put in the house. I don't know if it's just the weed, but the Bible and the pepper in the pepper shit. It's the same thing. I'm bad. Because now that I'm thinking about it, like Jesus did, used to be around the gangst and the hole. He was.

That's what the wheel. And I'm no hose. They believe you, bitch. When they ever see you do it, like, For sure. Bitch, I can walk on water. Okay, Dad. This way.

You know, that's, yeah. And who, and who? And he said, bitch, I'm going to take you to the sanitary. You were saying, hey, sanitary. You know, all right. You were selling dreams. It's the same.

It's the same thing. And when they talk to him, and the way they believe them. That's why, Mayor Madeline is the bottom of all bottles. She believed him. Oh, look, before you get deep in your pamp bag, you're going to go sit up

for you're walking. I'm about to get them. I'm about to bring you back. Okay. We're pretending like I'm walking in? Yeah, we're not pretending than you are. Okay, I'm really walking in.

This ain't got nothing to do with me. I'm just a spectator-competitor at this point. Yeah, now you see, I just said a lot Now I'm about to keep back And let them do what they do Because I can't put you up on everything Sometimes you gotta let people Tell the world

That you're just telling us How all of that shit is similar to pimping It is Politics, all of that And I knew that But I didn't know they knew that Right right right Right

Yeah Because if you ain't pimping You're probably someone being somebody. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you ain't selling it, you're getting sold. Come on now. Yeah. That's it.

I'm talking about. Yeah. How y'all been, first of all? Welcome to the 85th South show. I see y'all got good wine. Good wine. Get instant. We like to get incense for the company.

We get the good incense. Yeah, good. Hell of good. The candles and shit, burning. Good teeth. We're just about the to talk. Good company. Real black today.

How did you come up with Mr. Do-Doo-O-Daw? Oh, man, you know, to be honest, man, when I was in high school, my man, K.R. used to give everybody nicknames, and I played in high school, I was on everything. I was in the computer club. I played baseball. I played basketball. I was in the future business leaders of America. Me, too. Word. Yeah. Yeah, man. And one day I'm running down the hallway, and he sticks out his hand to give me a pound. My hands are full. I don't give him a pound. And he goes, damn. And my real name is Dupre. And then for short, they called me due. So he was like, damn, dude, you can't get me a pound. I'm like, yo, I'm late for baseball practice.

He was like, baseball practice. He's like, man, dude, you do everything in this school. He's like, there he go. Do it all do. You're making cars, everything. Four years old, a nigga under the car. This nigga do everything. This nigga play video games, fix cars, sell we, pimp.

Right, right. Every day. I was doing it off. Like, what do you need? You know what I mean? The next day, I was in the hallway battling somebody rhyming. And he comes down the whole, the middle of the steps, like the movie. And I must have been tearing the frame out of this dude.

And he's like, that's my dude, do it all dude. And then the whole school just started calling me doing all. That's saucy. That's awesome. Because that mean you really worked for your name. Yeah, you know. That's that era. You know, just to make of your own name.

You have to really do it all for a nigger to call you do it all. the call you do it all. Now I think this call, I do it all. You ain't did shit. They make up shit on Instagram. They make a shit on Instagram. It was a time where receipts matters. Yeah. Yeah. The time where receipts matter. It named the nose ownership. Yeah. You know what I mean? So

you know, I was owning what I was doing and then my people gave me that name. So that's why I really accepted it. But you got to be careful of the monica you choose too because then you got to do all of that stuff. Like that's why I'd be trying not to name, you know, people be having these regular labels and kill everybody in the house records.

Then they go to jail. When people do like shit, I was thinking like, in my mind, it's a nigga somewhere in America who's going to hear that and be like, why are you bringing us up? We ain't fuck with nobody, brus. They keep our name and they're motherfucking mouth, bro, kill everybody in the house record. We, we're for children. Yeah. See, I ain't in this, bro.

I ain't did, bro. Bro, went on the show and put my shit. You live. If he's beat, just. Say that man. It's probably some old niggas name do it all. And they probably mad at you. Yeah, nah.

I mean, like... You ever met another dude on? Yeah, I met a dude named DJ Do It All. You know what I mean? From when I approached him about the name, you know, back in the 90s, we always had an internet like that. So we would approach people. And he said he was just inspired by me.

So, you know... You can't beat him up after that. No. You already know. You know, they showed up with a bunch of niggas. Yo, what's still with your names? My name is doing all, yo. Yo, dude, you're going to let this nigga take your names?

Your birth names, you? And then I didn't say, I'm inspired by you. Speaking, speaking of names, this is totally impromptu. My brother, Killer Mike, he just FaceTime. My, Kill and Kill and Kill, Adam. What's the word? Hey, y'all got my Cincinnati out here in the studio. Hey, man, when are you going to bring the Grams on the 85 South show?

Hey, man, you fuck around, get me? Trying to put that three or four, man. All right, bet. We'll let you get to what you're getting to, though, bro. Mix a little good to see you guys. Mike, Mike, what up, Kay? I see you working, Kay. I see you working, Kay.

I can't announce on the 85 South, though. No, you can't. Make us three or four more, man. Bring us three and four more. I had to include, my brother, we ever time at the hip-hop caucus, our politics meet, you know, the streets, the whole nine hip-hop. So we're holding it down for you.

She's a gangster. Man, I'm a gangster for real. Oh, she's definitely, ain't. She's been to call Andre 3,000 next. Hey, that's what's up, baby. We got your line. Thank you so much, peace. Love you, baby.

I had to answer that, y'all. Yeah, we had to bring Killer Mike in the conversation. Yeah, yeah. What we're talking about is a hip-hop. The congressional, first time that hip-hop has actually made it to Congress, the congressional and hip-hop power and justice task force. And so Killer Mike's a part of it Do it all the part of us

Yes, heavy on the task Is it all black people? Yes, so far as all black people That sounds like the police Yeah The black middle police It sounds like the police She's the task force part

Me and you are oh shit The niggas coming. No, but hey Would you let them know We really coming though Oh, I like that It's different It's different

It's not just focused on the policy It's important to have policy But one of the things I'll talk about We push the line in politics until something happens, it's important to be heavy on the task. That's right. So when we talk about task, I'm talking about Willie D who's a part of it. We're doing us. Shout out

Willie D. Doing a dispute resolution training in a couple of weeks. We're talking about we'll do it all, and my son is doing, we'll drill the hill. So we're heavy on the task. It's not just the policy. You know, fight for this law and push this law. No, it's important to show, which is why Killamike is also part of it. How local

politics meets the federal level and how you can get shit done without having to wait, you know, on other people to make it happen. We have the power in hip-hop. We have the power in entertainment. And we just come together like, man, get the shit, like we're talking about with the game. Nobody had to let us in the door at the game, bust that shit down. So we take that same mentality, whether it's gang banging, whether it's pimping, whether it's in the streets, whether it's rapping. You take that same mentality, same organizing mentality and bring it to

the community. That's right. That's how you get shit done. It's literally the same mentality. Hell yeah. Yeah. My mom. My politics trickles down anyway, right? Like from the people, it. It's, it's It trickles down to the community anyway. The community makes it move, man. Yeah, but they get the short end of the stick when it comes to that. By the time it trickle down, it ain't even shit really left. No, but that's because you're starting to trickle wrong.

See, again, y'all going to try to, can I talk game? Please, please. You know, my own. I just want to just talk some game. I just want to know why they call me the hood with. It's true. No, you're starting with the plug. You're going and ass on the plug way in Mexico.

Nigel down, trickle down. That's Congress. You go talk to that nigga on the corner. The one that's going to bust. it down and pass it over. You're talking to the wrong people. It ain't trickling down. A councilman is trickling. That's exactly it. So the reason why I brought my good brother

here to councilmen, when you look at who has the power, which is why Killamike talks about this all the time, it's not Congress. It's not Trump. It's not Biden. It's not your congressional federal, you know, representatives, which is all due respect. Shout out to Representative Bowman who started this. But the real power, the

real work, just like in the streets, who going to give you that ounce? Who going to give you that key? How are you going to bust that shit down? Who has more importance. The one on the block or the one in Mexico? Who has the most influence? So it's not that it don't trickle down. You just don't know where to go get to work. And you don't know how to bust that shit down and give it to

everybody. You know what I'm saying? People, niggas is eating. You're just knocking on the wrong door. Me? In general. I'm going to see, you know. What's the mind? You're going to be watching it. You don't know what a trickle at, man.

She told your head. But explain it. Like, what your budget is, why it's important that you have a real hip-hop artist for real, as a real sitting councilman and how much power he has in just this position along besides the president. And that shit don't trick it down. Y'all just not. It trickles up. It definitely trickles up, you know. I mean, even today, right before I came to the A, man, we were dealing with budget. And I'm a new councilman, right? So July 1st, it would be two years for me. That's a counselor. Hold-up. You know what I mean? Yeah, come out to look.

And I can talk about sure? You're doing all you. You're talking about it. Please talk about it. Hey, man, you know, I'm the first myself in a hip-top artist to ever win me. You know, back to the United States of America.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And back in... A real hip-hop art. You know, some dick said they're running and say they rap. Right, you're a real hip-hip-up. And salute to all my brothers who ran and didn't win

because they have the opportunity to win, you know what I mean? From Luke to... Scarface. With Scarface last week. Willie D we got some people trying to really make a difference

but in 1992 in Orlando Florida I see my brother Kirby over there with me he was with me we was with Tupac Shakur right you remember the time we was with Park right curb and Pock told me like we're 20 years old at this time right so he's telling me

like we actually we almost got into a fight first right so yeah because y'all's with Tupac yeah that's sound like y'all's going to fight but but Pock man I miss him so much because he came in my room, man, and he was talking about what we need to do in our communities. I never heard no 20-year-old talking about stuff like this. He had a blunt behind one ear, Newport behind the other. He had two 40s in his hand, handed me one. And that's when

you could smoke in the hotel rooms back then. You know, and he was just like, yo, we got to create nonprofit organizations in our community. He said, don't move where you're from. You know, I'm from New Jersey, you know. I got two other members in my group. One live in Miami in a beautiful home and my other MC partner I live in Northern California, palm trees all around his crib. I live in my hood in one of the buildings that, you know, that I'm actually invested in, but I'm still in my hood.

So all of the things Park asked me, I mean, back then I did. I didn't move from my crib. He also said that, you know, with all of the things that he said, we might want to become legislators. I didn't know what he almost ain't know what legislation was. You know, and I was like, legislators, man, we rappers. What you're talking about, Poc? And he just, you know, if you knew Pock, he was just real adamant about stuff.

And he was like, no, he was like, if the way, if we want to change laws, if we want to make laws, then we have to become legislators. Because if we don't, the laws will be made for us and not by us. And that's what we're doing. And when Tess, I'm literally getting to the eight of day coming out of a special counsel meeting and we're talking about budgets. And what I learned in these two years is that if you don't put it in the budget, it's probably not going to happen for the people.

Like the money rules everything, you know what I mean? And the power that you have as a legislator, as an elected official, you get to listen to the people, talk to the people, see what the needs are, and then put that into the budget so that you can make change of the course of that year, you know. And if it's not in the budget, it's probably not going to happen. You know, answer everything. That'd be a hard-in-ish t-shirts. Yeah. It's not going to happen. Hey, just, hey, look, there's not. We're going to make the women everyone. That's not. That's what happened. And just put doing all that in the bottom of it. Hey, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. We can make that. Just put doing it on the bottom of it. No, we're going to make

That the campaign slow. If it's not in the budget, it's probably not going to want to happen. Is that what they're going to tell the women, baby? I was just about to do it, but it just wasn't in the budget. They should win in the budget. That's not. That shit fits in life. Yeah.

That's not in the budget, man. It's probably not. That's so hard. I can't wait to say it's somebody. You can't wait. Anybody free up. Anything got to do it. Anything they got to do.

This is. Even saying it too hard, like, look, I ain't even my budget. Stop asking me that, niggins. Not, like, you know, it's not that I don't have it. It just ain't in the budget. You said I ain't got it, but it just ain't in the budget. But you know, you got it. Right, and I ain't never got it.

You tell me, it ain't in your budget. Come on, nigga, you know you got it. We just start counting you up. Look at them rims on your car. No, because it worked you either way to like if a nigga get it or you got. Right. Hey, my nigga, if it's not in the budget, it's probably. You're not going to happen.

Huh? You let them go over your head. That's a plan of shit. Yeah, how do you get it in the budget? That's the question. How do you get it in the budget? Now, see, we might need... You know, I'm about to get me...

I'm trying to get you back to that. You know, break the fire. Hey, the business is on. No, you know, we got to go that now. I hate the job to put the baby in the money. Man, we got to put the people. I don't encourage you. I just showed him that.

It's a way, baby. It is for you, baby. But she's not that you've got to hear it in the context, it is, that's the prep trick. That's really, get in the vice. Well, if you listen, bitch, I'm just, I'm telling you. You're doing too much talking, start walking. Yeah. He can't give a way, but you got two heads.

You know, we don't get it. You know, we don't do more listening than you do in Thomas. Now, see, at this point, you got, I'm sure, no, shit. It's like the stock market, you know what I mean? You want to try and go. That's going to doghust, baby. They listen to the what they're talking. That's hilarious.

That's literally what politicians do with and preachers. How do you get the money? Yeah. But how do you get in the budget? What's the importance of the involvement to make sure, hey, man, I need you to set that to the side? Well, the council has power, right? They have the authority to say what is the needs of the people because the people tell them what they mean, right? And a truth.

Say that one more time. The people, the people tell the politicians. the elected official what they need. And when they tell them what they need, the politician, the elected official, has to verify that that is what it is. Let's take street paving, right? So we had a conversation today in our council chambers where one of our council members went off because he said, my roads are crumbling. And the people are complaining about flat tires and their rims and you know if you got those flywips and you busts on a tire every now and then you're going to complain to somebody that matters and and then just when people come into your town

I had a friend coming to my uh my town from Germany and he was like man this road feel like I'm on a roller coaster you don't want to hear that when you were part of the power right so now you have to go to the BA who's the business administrator you have to go to the administration and tell them I need this to happen. And then when they tell you things like, well, we have to deal with DOT, Department of Transportation from the state level, federal level, and wait for them to give us grants, that's not acceptable. You know, so then you lobby, you advocate, you fight for them to give you more monies for your community because the people are telling you we need Avenue A to be clean and smooth because it's tearing our cars up. So now you fight for that. You fight for that money. And

then, you know, when they tell you stuff like, well, that room won't be fixed until we get grant money into 2025. That's not acceptable. What about if you're like, well, I got some chicken for me. I got, I made some money myself and the community and we all want to put it in on the shit. It doesn't work like that. No, you utilize, you utilize your power by saying, I need this, I need you to pay for this desk, this table right here, right? And if they don't want to do it, they have other things that they need to vote on. They have other things that they need to pass. So you're going, you parlay. So can I translate that to the game?

I just want to make sure why they call me the hood whisper. Shout out to Charlemagne, God. And shout out to Andre Taylor Gorgeous Ray, aka Gordesry from Oakland. I just want to put the game in your life. Oh, Mama, put that stand on my brain. So can we just put it? I don't want to disrespect nobody against the Pimp game, but just let me just take what he just said.

So they said, the people control what they want. He said, they tell them, I need this, I need that. So the Pimp got 10, 12 women. I need shoes. I need clothes. I need this. I need to I need a good house. I need to be able to do what I need to do in order to handle my business. One reason why Heidi Flies won the colds in the game, she empowered women.

She didn't have to beat up on them. She didn't have to take all their money. She said, you know what you got that? Take your money, do what you need to. I'm going to empower you. As long as you have what you need, I'm going to have what I need. So then when Heidi Flies going to, the client, whatever you want to call it, I got the hat is because they need this.

That's right. They need this. So as long as you putting, as long as the women are holding down their daddy or their mom or whatever it is, I got the hat is because they can't work without it. They can't work without good clothes. They can't work without looking fly. I need their hair done. I need this.

I need that. That's the same thing when you talk about constituents. You just don't understand you have the power as a constituent as a voter to say, I need this, this, this, this, this. It's the same thing in gangbanging. A real OG going to take care of his hood. A real OG going to make sure y'all got everything y'all need. A lot of these celebrities are buying the gangbanging, I ain't going to say no name. But some of them to be buying the gang bang.

I ain't going to say no name. But we know what they are. They main role coming. in and they, oh, he ain't official. He ain't, no killer. Everybody got a role. So even when you come in the gang banging, hey, we need to make sure you got money on the table.

We need to make sure you need to make sure that. And then that constituency, that power that keeps him strong, that keeps him in office, that's how he's able to get shit done. If you're not loud behind him and supporting behind him, like shout out to Eric Mays in Flint, Michigan. Shout out to the brother. Y'all probably seeing some of his virus, the committee, the councilman. Rest and peace to Eric Mays, the councilman that was going off.

on white people all the time. You probably seen some videos weren't viral. They say, how do that? Because the people behind me. Yeah. That makes a difference. When you have the people behind you, like the Verizon commercial, I can do whatever I want this motherfucker. Because they vote me in, not you. That's why people relate, why Trump, why he's able to have 91 convictions, why he's able to do whatever you want to do. The people are behind him. It's not that we don't have the motivation. It's not that we don't have the dedication or the desire. It's just we're not taking our mentality and seeing that it is organizing. No different in gang banging, no different in the game, no different in a man to go get women at the club.

No different than women that know how to get niggas to buy bags and cars and all that. It's about organizing, having the mentality of making sure you're keeping whoever need to be strong in the front and take care of the back. That's his responsibility. Make sure you take care of everybody. You ain't taking care of everybody. We're going to go get chokes. We can handle like some what, some gagsons are some what? Yeah.

She chose me. What they say in the Mac? Yeah, the bitch chose me. Is that what they said in the Mac? Yes, Lord. That's what happens in politics. Hey, she chose me. She said she wanted to come on this side because I got something better to offer.

So it's his job to make sure everybody getting paid. And my job is making sure they cut that check. What's happening with making sure this nonprofit getting taken care of? What's having to make sure 85-7 got a budget? That's fast. The power y'all got on this platform. If mayors and governors and councilmen and whoever ain't cutting, y'all no check, we got a problem. We got a problem then.

We got a problem then. You got a fucking issue. That shit matters. That's real. Not right though, yeah.

And here's Heather with the weather. Well, it's beautiful out there, sunny and 75, almost a little chilly in the shade. Now, let's get a read on the inside of your car. It is hot. You've only been parked a short time and it's already 99 degrees in there. Let's not leave children in the back seat while running errands. It only takes a few minutes for their body temperatures to rise and that could be fatal. Cars get hot, fast, and can be deadly. Never leave

a child in a car. A message from NHTSA and the ad council. That's real. Right. They need to get in touch with me, but you know what? If it's not in the budget. Probably. This is probably not going to happen. Don't make me fucking get the talking with money to stenture. I don't got long. You got real institutions for the people. No, for real. You got real distinctions. You got millions of people to tack me into this platform.

So that's why it's important for rappers to try to probably try to transition. Because they got the influence. It's basically saying somebody got to have some influence to get this money. What's important like any other role? So push the line. My logo has somebody pushing the P, the U, the S, the H. our brother killer Mike talks about this all the time I don't need you being involved

and going up thinking you can talk to Congress and trying to break laws down and all that types of things we just need you to do let's just talk about the street we need you to just be the muscle just be the muscle and let me I got a hundred nays behind me we can either do this like this or we can do this like that putting people in a position

to actually know actually do this work for real matters it's important everybody got how to roll one of the problems I have with a lot of hip hop artists exception to him is they want to do it all, literally. Other than him, punitive. They want to be the rapper.

They want to be the legislator. They want to be the council. They want to be whatever, all those different things. Put your, like Killer Mike say, he got the mobilization. I don't have a platform that you guys have. I never will unless I decided to get up

and turn around and do 360 every time. I was going to say. I was right, right? So I don't have a platform. So support people like me that's going to make sure you have what you need. It's going to make sure you have the organizers. We brought 300 people to Atlanta.

Mobilizers and organized. That's another peak. That's it. Say it again. Mobilize and organized. Man, what? Yeah. Where you fit in?

Yeah. It matters. I'm a mobilizing. Yeah, that's it. I'm going to run. That's it. That's it. Mobilize and get them lined up.

And then the bottom's going to do. She's going to organize. Yeah. Hey, say, you need to do this, do that, do this and this and that. Can I pop this game? I don't want to. No, please, pop it. When you pop it, don't stop it.

I'm talking about TV going on. It's the same thing. It's mobilizing. It's the same thing. And there's no disrespect to anybody that take offense, but this is just where I come from. I can only speak from what I know. This is not what I read or what I heard.

This is literally from a lifestyle I come from. So when we figure out how to do that and support the person best in position to do what they do, whether it's a muscle or the hustle, whatever it is. You need that and any gangbanking. You need muscle, you need money. Every day is shooting everybody. Everybody don't have money.

Some people are money in the game. Some people would... That's why they say you need to have money. Right. So know your position. So I need the rappers. the please you don't have a platform homie, you got the platform

but once you get them, who's going to train them? I have a master's in adult education. I train these for real, for real on how to really run, how to really win, how to really be an operator, how to really hold somebody accountable. They better hope I'll get across these hip-hop black people. I'm telling him me straight up, hey, they got five million people, what y'all going to do?

Y'all who ain't going to write this check or we're going to start organizing against you? And that's what Pop told me, too, in that hotel room. He said, if we got a million people that buy our records, we can turn those million buyers of records of hip hop records into millions

of voters, into millions of followers. And this is before, you know, likes and, see, we got to make a follow for niggas to follow that. But we have to realize and understand our power like Ted is talking about. I tell people all the time, you got Sean over there

in Belize, you know, a leader of the opposition party, he's the first in the world because he wanted Belize the year that I lost, you know. And I'm the first in America. But let's realize that. I tell people, even though you're not from North New Jersey when I'm an elected official, it doesn't matter. Utilize me from our culture with New Jersey. Come get property. Come utilize our blueprints, our platforms, and then take it back to your city, take it back to your state. Let's mobilize and then let's organize so we can take over

as a culture because if 85 South has 5 million people watching them, then we can, then 85 South can get a check. Huge. Well, what you mean? Dick Good.

You know what I mean? By more money. My president, y'all telling us, they don't want us money from everywhere. I need my federal funds. I need my state funds. Right. I need my Georgia lottery

funds. I need all my funds. They owe me some, at least them, some new balance and stuff. I'm going to give you an example. Shagging wings and slum, you talking about five million. I'm like,

so I'm going to give you an example of power of the people, right? So I'm campaigning 2021. I won in 2022. And I go down this block in Newark, New Jersey called Pine Grove, right?

It's a lady on the block. A Haitian lady, they call her the mother of the block or the mayor of the block. I put a, lawn signs. Now, most of my hood doesn't have lawns, but this one area has lawns. I put lawn

signs down through the entire area. I forgot maybe, let's say, five houses. So I said, I'm going to come back tomorrow, give the five houses, the lawn signs. I feel like I got this area. Locked down. I come back with the five lawn signs the next day.

All my lawn signs are gone. Oh, I'm like, oh, shit, the opting came through here. Hell, yeah. You know, I mean and took my signs down and they took over. I go and she's like, no, we're with you, but I need something. She took all of the, she had every neighbor, every resident take down the signs. So I said, why did you have to take down the signs? She said, because I have some

things that are unanswered. The people. So she took, she had all of the residents take down my signs until they got what they needed. They had some requests. They wanted to meet the mayor. They wanted to us to promise certain things around the area to get rid of a house that has some drug dealing on it, to rip down this house, ripped down this tree. Little things when you think about it. But the power of them say, we're not voting for you. We're not supporting you until you sit with us and do these demands. And then when we did that, all of the signs went back up.

And it's not a lot of people. This is what I want people to understand. Because we have a, we just need to all get on board. That's it, about 20 people. It's not about everybody. If you look at the word, for those who studied a word, it wasn't about 10,000 in Gideon's arms. It's about 300.

That's why I was focused on 300. You don't need a bunch of people. More niggas spend more time saying, we just need everybody on board. We need everybody on board. No, you don't. I've watched LA come to Oklahoma City, starred hoods with two nigs.

Yeah, that's like seven. With five, five and ten nigs. Like, yeah, that's it. All it take is one or two line pushing. Yeah. One or two to say, this is how we're going to move, this is how it's going to go, and watch them follow. You know anything about the word. We can have this conversation from the word to the streets or whatever.

You watch the word. Moses didn't need everybody on board. It was only one Moses. Everybody didn't go to them outside. I think only one Moses did that. So when he was able to have a conversation to organize the people, that's organizing, to say, no, we're going to go ahead and go to the Promise Lane. Who those don't like it, Dove?

Who those who want to go and follow, are we going? So it's that same mentality. Instead of waiting on everybody else to get on board, you get on board. Like he just said, about 20 people. people, when you look at your local races, this is why I focus on local races, and you look at the average person that gets elected, you're talking about sometimes

1,100 votes, 1,500 votes, I shout out to MCA, and I tell him all the time, nigg, why don't you run for Compton Mayor? Compton Mayor had less than 10,000 vote. You can't get 10,000? I know MCA can get 10,000 people. We can go, we got, you got five generations on to you.

Instead of just, which I appreciate what he does with his football team. I appreciate that. Like, shout out to hey, but now I'm trying to get you the whole budget. you know shout out to big you doing what he doing but shout out we want the whole budget we want the councilman at the tape when you talk about who how many councilmen sit on your nine nine did you hear that nine people got to make a decision niggas talking about people in congress with you got 435 plus members all you need is the majority right and you need you try you spend spending all this time talking about what congress ain't doing it trickle down and don't trickle down because you're waiting on one person to have a vision to convince 300 some of them because they're going to never fuck with you. And it ain't their job to fuck with you. Their job is the push the

line for their game. Boy, that's some shit right here. You just told all the crips that they got enough crips to have a fucking awesome. But this is facts. I'm the only, man, I got

Regina Hill on food. No, seriously. I'm dead serious. I've gotten people elected. Shout out to Regina Hill, arrested 21 times. I got elected. So I'm telling you, yeah, shout out. She ran against seven people. Been elected three times ever since.

I'm telling you real fact because I know how to win. I've worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign. I'm doing the wrong shit. Basically is what they tell you. I'm going to flip this into a whole red, white, and blue shirt. I'm getting in there. I'm taking the hush money. I'm taking the kickback money.

And I'm going to make sure that they come through the hood. God damn. But can I say, sir? You don't have to. No, this is what I'm trying to tell you. If you look at Mary and Barry, I encourage people. Let me be. Let me say, no, you ain't got to be.

This is where I'm here to let you know to say today. I'm like the eclipse, Nick. I ain't around but every 45 years. Yeah, okay. Look, can he say? I'm around like up on the ground. You're ready? They really came to gas us up.

Yeah. No, I'm telling you. No, it's dead serious. I'm like when the sun and moon align. It don't happen every now, man, nigga. So take notes. What I'm trying to say, you don't have to take the hush. Like, even though we're joking.

You don't have to take. because you don't have to do it. When you look at Mary and Barry, go watch the nine lives of Mary and Barry. Besides the holes, besides the crack, besides the bullshit. That's right. Besides the hole. All of that. He was able to stay in office because you were behind him. When you know your power, it's over with it. But also, you have to hold him accountable. So we're talking about the game. You say you were going to get my head on it. What's happening? You said I was going to get a person happening. What's that? Yeah. Where are we at with?

But you know how good you got to be at being a man if you get caught smoking, crack and get elected again? Right. Right. He was in there making shit happen. Because he was going. He took care. Money's gone, but he's still going to do everything we said. Can I tell you? Can I tell you don't give you real game?

I got to pop up on 85 self every now and then. You do? The reason why, no, it's important. For real. The reason why he was successful, he took niggas from the pen and gave him jobs through his pride program. He did what I did. When Virginia Hill, when they said ain't no way you can win. They said you, they said you, there was a racist tunnel in times.

They said you got a bad background. You ain't ever, you know, we went to nigs and hood nigs with felons. Yeah. I know you can't vote, but can your baby mama vote? Yeah. Can your mama vote? Can you get us on board? This felon is just like you.

When she get in, she'll understand how you move. So when you got people behind you, you can go and make those demands and say, my people need this, this, this, this. As long as the people are behind. So there is a dual responsibility. It's my responsibility to make sure I organize and make sure you got who you need at the post. It's his responsibility to make sure you do it. you know. That ain't no difference in a dope game.

You give me this, I'm going to bust this shit down. The shit better be right. Do you feel like our community support that enough? We don't know it enough. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know. Yeah, that's true.

It's the lack of information. It's the lack of information. Once nays know how to move. Information can change. It changes it all. Yeah. Information rule of nation rules. It changes at all.

And when people get upset, why you just talk about the hood? Why are you just talk about dope? We're more than that. I know that. I got multiple degrees. I'm in the civil documentary or the attorney Benjamin Cromp.

I wrote with the elite. but what I know that's the most powerful is the hood because the hood going to run through a wall the hood

going to do what need to be done that's who they fear they fear my conversation to the brother that never realized

well shout out to the homies in L.A., when you realize in 1992 y'all turned L.A. upside down.

Right. You brought a whole peace treaty together they can't do that shit right down in the United States and Israel. That's power

knowing that you have that type of power and then go to the mayor and say hey what's happening we in Englewood But you got this soapy center you just build up. We need about 50 contracts straight up.

When you're having that conversation, it's just niggas don't know. They don't know that conversation needs to have. Ain't no different than what the mafia do. We just haven't been organized on that level to really understand. And just for they know, we ain't talking about nothing illegal. I ain't talking about nothing illegal. We got to take no motherfucking hush money. We got five thousand niggas.

No, they tell them niggas. We're a hush money. We're going to shut up and do it our way. You know what I'm saying? That's how you go. Just then cut them a hush money off. You didn't tell me that. on me all these chick.

I'm thinking they own me some mushrooms. They do. But we're going to get loud. See, that's the difference. We're going to get loud on these motherfuckers. You got to push somebody out. Like,

yeah, we got to get loud about the right shit. We get loud. Yeah. But we ain't loud about the whole bunch of ignorance shit. We got to be like, we got to start moving on the shit. Like, she'll be looking like it's about to happen. And everybody's like, shit. You know what I'm saying?

We need to act first. Right. Like, we don't need to wait to some shit. Be proactive. You got to be poor. But it's just. organized that. It's just 85 South giving. We've been trying to

shout up. We were trying to get me on for like the last year. I'm not trying to be famous and this and that. I'm doing what God called me to do. By working with you, by working with the Brefts Club, or we're going to do it all, but working with a deal with me. I'm saying, just seeing just a couple of niggas my way. Just seeing just

a couple of nays my way. And so we can ask you. You sound like a real hood nigga. You know, I got the shit. Just said me. I'm going to work with you. I'm ready to work with you. And his peers. And his parents. It's pure, my license plate, pure. You didn't think I knew that lingo, did you?

You didn't think I knew that lingo. They keep on testing me on the lingo. See, I got, I knew that lady's shit, period. I'm just trying to. It's true. Like, when you think about it, right, the money is already there. Yeah. Like, because when you get billion-dollar budgets,

sometimes it's just moving the money around. Like, let's take Newark, for instance, New Jersey, we have, when everybody was talking about defunding the police, you know, and police was fighting. against the cities, don't defund us. What we did is we didn't defund the police. We said, all right, you have a community budget, right? You have a budget that is community service. So we're going to take 5% of that budget. And in our city, that's $17 million. Right? So if you take $17 million and you give it to nonprofit organizations who's been doing the work for free,

like shout out to my son, you know, more time, shout out to, you know, a program, shout out to, you know, Colisha Waynefield Hill. Shout out to one hood. You take felons. If you put $100,000 in a felon pocket and tell him, all I need you to do is do to work. What do you think they're going to do? They're going to do to work like it's a million dollars you gave them, right?

So we took money, $17 million, and we spread it around, around people who were felons, people, you know, we, so we have certain areas that you can't go into if you come from City Hall. We have certain areas. A.k.A. check-in. Right, check in. Right, right, right. Check it.

They keep it on top. Right. So even if you film movies in certain hood, you got to check in. Tap in. Tap in. So we have, we have felons that we tell him, our mayor, man, shout out of Rajjay, Baraka. He would tell him, look, I need the murder rate to drop in this area. So they might not get paid for the first year, but they'll go into the area and say, we're going to

to reduce the rate. So if it's five people that got murdered in that area, seven people that got murdered in that area, after one year, after six months, if it drops from that rate, if it drops from five to three, if it drops from seven to four, that shows.

No, no, no. That's true. Like a business, a nigga, don't smoke a nigga for a year and a half and deal. No, but you're talking big homies, though, the big bro. Right. So, see, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. It matters. It met, again. Who's going to.

it made it just no difference in the penitentiary when you got the car who's in charge of the car who's the shot caller right i remember oz did a fictional episode about it but it was very real when they were trying to reduce the murder rate in the penitentiary right if i'm trying to do so i'm talking these little things on court i'm talking to the shot call you're going to slow it down so they're going to slow it down so that's why uh with a d and i're doing conflict resolution right Trauma for us a Supreme Court Conflour resolution on a civil appellate. So when you talk about convoluta, the hobbies keep shit in line. It ain't no long time. It's just simple. We're going to get this money.

When you look at why people are gang-manging, why they're involved in the streets, it's because of what? Poverty, money. So when you take care of the hood and you say, man, instead of doing this, instead of shooting your brother, instead of whatever,

I'm going to give you a job. I'm going to give you money. I'm going to give you an opportunity to stop this shit. When you're doing that, then you're solving the problem because they're really just looking for a check. So it ain't no long.

time. It is how are we organizing behind it? How are we moving people forward? When you, I'll just tell you, 1992, when the peace treaty happened, a lot of reason why that shit fell apart is because the money that was promised to Jim Brown, the money that was promised to those nonprofits and money that was supposed to get trickled down, never made it to the hood. Same thing that happened with George Ford in 2020. These companies said they were going to give over $100 billion or million to take care of black folks. Make sure we're on St. Pedro. And they never did it. But when I'm saying, Hey, as a senior advisor for the George Roy family, what's up, what's up with the money? And niggas ain't behind me and they ain't saying, what's up with the money, what's up the money? Then ain't nobody going to get no money. So it's important that the mobilization, I try to tell me about me, you can have a money, you can have all the shine

and do whatever. Just to ask you to the homebripe. You can make an example of money. She's trying to help you get the money, well. But she's exactly right because in Newark, the crime rate has been the lowest, it has been in 60. years. That's because we got the felons and all of them doing the work.

Right. Before that, they didn't know who to talk to. Yeah, for real. They didn't know who to talk to. So his connection matters. Yeah, that should do. They didn't know who to talk to. If I say, where are you going to check in in Detroit? Who know the answer? You're like, everybody got to know like who is who. So when you don't have

us at the table, which is why this hip hop task force is important. Right. I'm not talking about these motherfuck just on campaign trails. Oh, I know hip hop and I listen to it. No, nigga who really lived this shit. Yeah. When you don't have the right people at the table to know who to talk to, how to move, to really make a difference, that's why it doesn't trickle down. It's trickling. It just ain't trickling. It's trickling like mother. But it got to, it got to. And can I say something just right quick about the movies? Because you said, just like in the movies, you made a statement, something about movies. And I want to say this because you guys are entertainment. I'm not just talking about hip-hop. I'm even talking about entertainment, period. I talk about Tooby a lot. And I want to shout this out to all Tooby directors and shout out. Yeah, shout out to me.

Shout out to Tubby. Shout out to Glenn Tattoo Man Page. Like really doing his thing. Tattoo Man. That's the nigga behind Toby? No, that's a, he's not behind the media. Tattoo Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I've got to be able to day. Oh, good. Shout on Tattoo Man. Yeah, shout out to him. I fuck a brat. Yeah, you can do it one million bucks. Yes, he can.

Shout out to him. One thing I'm always telling about is, y'all got to get organized, though. I'm looking at Detroit. Literally Detroit. In Atlanta's on the couple. Y'all running this shit. Why y'all not organized?

See, as an organizer, I'd be like, man, niggas y'all should be running. I was looking at one of the actors saying, hey, y'all, make sure y'all at Tubeby, let them know to release my film. Like, nigga, we're doing this on Instagram? We got millions of motherfuckers behind y'all. This ain't no big and no tubby.

This is going in the door. Hey, what's happening? We're breathing. Because it took you too long to get here. Now you need to introduce the world to the organizers. The organizer. Man, I'm trying to get nigg. on board. It's no way, and let me

give you this game, same way they did with Fox. Same way they did. Remember when YouTube was paying everybody? Natives getting paid off YouTube during the pandemic. How they trick niggas in the, oh, you got to do, Nick, do four, five, a six, nays, they're getting money. There's some people, y'all don't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They owe us another. Right. But remember, look what happened last year. They dropped it 90%. They did the same shit. They do the black people every time. Yeah, they did the same shit every time. What you mean? They dropped the revenue 90%. They told everybody, hey, y'all come in. Remember everybody was

there's some people y'all don't have in the show that y'all should have me on when y'all had some of these viral sensations. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I just need you to repeat one thing. Yeah. Just slow it down. Yeah. Tell them what percentage they dropped the revenue? 90%. So you're saying YouTube dropped the revenue 90%.

So we would only make sense to like have your own app and control your own media, right? Right. Welcome back to the 85 South Carolina. Right. They drew. So this is... See, they wouldn't believe it if I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But this is the game. Why y'all don't do that? Yeah, no, this is the game and this is how it works. So YouTube hyped your ass up. Yeah. Every nigga thought they... All you got to do is just upload four, five, six things.

Because they realized it was an opportunity everybody was at home. So everybody was a comedian. Everybody got a skit. Everybody got a podcast. Then podcast Macdon dropped since then, though. See, now we can see who really, really about this shit. When they were crazy.

One more time. You're going crazy. You know what you're going to do this shit? Let me say this real quick, man. Because I don't think people get it. Like, Tess is an official. Like, I'm in politics, right? And you don't know what an elected official is, a councilman,

or whatever that position is until you actually become it. Right? She is what, policy makers? She is what elected officials wish for. Forget the hip-hop for a minute. she is multi-six figures without hip-hop in the political world that's wrong but she is saying I am making myself available to the culture of hip-hop we don't get that right and and I understand because even when I first ran people were

looking at me saying I have some people to say I said why you didn't support me when I first ran they said do I was just trying to make sure you wasn't doing a mace playing the game that nigger a fool that's what they're talking no disrespect respect to me I'm just telling you

what was told to me I was trying to make sure you weren't doing a mace right now that they know I'm official they're reaching out now eight years later but I'm telling you

do not please culture of hip hop the people who sell millions of records the people who are multi-millionaires the people who really need things for their community. Please do not sleep on Tesla Figueroa. I'm

telling you, and I'm saying that because I would hire her for any of my campaigns. It's really it's gangster. When you running, this is a... Yeah, it's some gaster shit. No, I mean, the Irish created this voting system and all of that, this

politics stuff hundreds of years ago, right? They were involved in all of that type of stuff. We have our very own, I mean, they call it a hood whisperer and all it, but I don't want to make it a joke. I mean, we have some wine, you know, I mean, some aroma in the air, we good, 85 South is an issue, but I don't want us to lose focus on whom we really have sitting on this couch. Can I give you a test? Thank you so much, brother, but I just believe in us for real.

And when I talk about real receipts and how important the hood is, so I was the national, racial justice director for Bernie Sanders in 2015. This is when nobody knew who Bernie Sanders was. They was like, who's Bernie Sanders? The one with the gray and he did it. Oh, okay. I remember my ex-husband, he dropped me off at the airport like, man, you just wasting your time. Like, and I just believe they sent me

to Michigan. And I was the only one, the only of the national black staff was like 12 of us. You know, they worked on the national level. I was the only black one. I got a baby in fourth grade. I'm going home one weekend to see her. Next weekend, my mother's dying of cancer, so I'm going back and forth.

It was when I got my iPhone for the very first time so I could FaceTime to see my mother, you know, on the daily basis. So when we're talking about organized with Bernie Sanders, going to see my mom who was dying in cancer, about six months to live, also taking care of my baby. It was in fifth grade. I went to Flint. I just want you to know how powerful the hood is. Went to Flint. Now, this is when Hillary Clinton had Detroit all on lock. Everybody said, ain't no way she got Detroit on lock.

All black people go for Hillary Clinton, ain't no problem. I'm working for Bernie Sanders. Okay. So I said, you know what I'm going to do? This is where that street mentality. I'm just going to outskirts. Now, how many niggas did this on that? Shout out to Ice Q to Rope vacation day.

So many niggas and took over so many hoods. While you over here doing this, we're over here doing that. It's the same mentality. I said, let me go on and go to Flint in a minute. They just taking advantage because we got Detroit. Yeah, same thing. Went to Flint. Drop me off.

Let me drop me off in the hood. Let me go holl of barbershops, whatever. Met Daniel Green. Daniel Green. Hey, can you bring me about four or five people to me, Bernie Sanders? Now, Bernie Sanders had never, people say he's never, you ain't never seen anyone with no black people. And Vermont is probably less than 10%, 5% black people. So they had never seen Bernie Sanders with a black person.

I'm going to get Daniel Green. Come on, Dale Green. Three, four people come in the room. Bernie Sanders took a picture of Daniel Green, took a picture hugging her. For the first time, Bernie Sanders was shown sympathetic. The cameraman just happened, which is why the camera is so important. The cameraman just happened to show him in an empathetic way. Everybody always said Bernie Sanders don't show no emotion.

He don't never do this He don't never cry He just be stuck Yeah he'd be stuck He got the greatest and greener Yes And he said He told the New York Times

I just don't do that But for that very moment You got You were able to see empathy They took that commercial Ran that commercial All through Michigan That one commercial

With Daniel Green And we were able to flip That state By 2% Historic vote That's nice Now this is what Bernie Sanders Fucked up

You didn't continue The relationship with Daniel Green See, I'm going to continue to relationship with Daniel Greene. Y'all just came and y'all came and y'all moved on. What he didn't know is Daniel Green got so inspired that she became a state board. That's right. She started serving on the school board.

You didn't know that because you just thought, let's just come in and take pigeons and keep on moving. I stayed in contact with Daniel. That's how I met Eric Mays. That's why when Eric Mays died before it hit the media, yeah, before I hit the media, Daniel Green's called, hey, Eric Mays is no longer with it. When you keep those relations eight years in the game, when we were able, I'm senior public policy advisor for attorney. Crump. When it was time to go Sue Flatt? No, no, no, we're not speaking

past. Let's not speak past that I got. Come on, man. I mean, Attorney Crump, like, black and brown issues he's fought for and continues to fight for when it comes to civil cases and she is the advisor for him.

Like, I give what you saying? What's here? I thought there's more to go with the title. I thought it was longer. Yeah, no problem. Well, I do a lot of doing. I do a lot.

In his documentary, civil, I'm the only one with a speaking that they capture speaking, which was impromptu, around the 20-minute mark. They follow him for two years. And the director that directed Michelle Obama's becoming. She was his director, and I was the only one they called on, like, they was like, this speech got to go in. But shout out to him. But the point, what I'm trying to say is when I was there organizing for Bernie Sanders,

I was like, hey, y'all, y'all got that water crisis, you got that problem with that. Make sure they come over here and let's get this paper to two or three years after that over $600 million loss of victory in Flint. The point is when you stay connected to the people, when you're able to say, let me show you how to move this,

how to bust this down, how to get this. It ain't just this. Then we bust this shit down by four, five, six, seven ways. So you can have power. It ain't the hush money. It ain't Trump's people offer me. I tell that story all the time. Michael Cohen, the one who flipped on Trump?

The one who flipped on Trump? The one who flipped on Trump? First time they ever seen me on Fox News. because I'm one of the few A Foxx. I'm one of the bads. Let's be clear about that. Anybody looked at a, and the fine. Just going to clear.

But definitely one of the best. When it comes to debating white supremacists head up, I'm one of them ones. But when you talk, when I got off the stage for the very first time, Michael Cohen said, this was in 2015, I'll make you rich, I'll make you famous. Just come on the Trump team. And I said, no, I'm cool.

Before Candazones was Candizons, when she was a Democrat, they offered that bag to me. When she was a Democrat. Can I say it again? I said, well, she was a Democrat. They offered that bag to me. I'm on 560 to 100 times every year for the last nine years straight. So, Camry's got a bag.

If a baby is giggling in the back, seat, they're probably happy. If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be

deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave. The message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. My community, there's no much like that. Yeah, no, that's real. No, I mean, you cross her leg. Do you like this with your foot? She got a bag.

No question. Well, what they do is they uplift you like how I'd be begging and get on the next platform. Come on, let me give you five minutes. They make sure she's in position. They make sure. I ain't no disrespect to her. Hey, I know what it is. They make sure she's in position.

They make sure she get the views. They make sure people look to her. They make sure they put the muscle behind her hustle. That's right. Why? Because it regurgitates their message. She's a messenger for what they believe in. Of course.

So when she did a documentary against George Floyd, did a whole documentary on the daily caller and got the funding for it, got the support for it, got everything to say, no, this man was just a dope dealer. What nobody trying to put money behind me as a senior advisor for George Floyd's family? That's right. So who going to speak on George Floyd's behalf?

Who going to say, no, I mean, this is what it is. Who going to do that? But it requires this. platform. Like, I need y'all, for real. We need each other shit. Yeah, for real. Like, I feel for that joke on this. There's always something that you must get jacked. Where to check it?

Because I don't work for the Democrat Party. I'll blast their motherfucking party. I'll blast out Bernie Sanders. You're racial. You got racial problems on your. I sued the Bernie Sanders movement for anti-black discrimination. And call them out plenty of times. So it ain't black first. And shout out the number of New Jersey

for putting George Floyd on the steps of their front porch. We put the statue of George Floyd on the steps of City Hall on the bench and it was given to us that's dope you know so we have a statue in the city of Newark with George Floyd

sitting on the bench in front of City Hall. Now let me tell you some game just as a side note because we want the statue but let me tell you what I actually did. When change.org that'd be asking y'all to sign this petition do all of this when change.org said you know what we need your permission to put a

what you call it when they do the like the picture of you and the like the hologram. Yeah, like the hologram. Oh, the hologram.

So they called, they said, we need permission. This is why I'm sure how this game work. We need permission to do George Floyd hologram. No problem. Which y'all got for the George Floyd Foundation though. That's right.

Which y'all got for the George Floyd Foundation? Because change.org has raised plenty money on black folks. Y'all stay giving at this position. y'all stay asking us to do this so what I want to know is one when y'all unveiled the hologram

in Virginia I need George Floyd family name number two I didn't make sure y'all writing that motherfucking check it ain't just going to be about no statutes in hologram we need that paper we need that paper and guess what changed like or this so if you go watch civil and you go watch that documentary you fast forward

to the 20 minute mark you'll see me that was in Virginia at the change dot org I demanded that you bring the family there it ain't just about y'all And then when they put us in a crappy-ass hotel room, man, the price, yesterday's price ain't today's price. Man, we got to, that shit got to get real serious. So they wrote a six-figure check. And not only did they write a six-figure check to the George Floyd Foundation, that was the first time they ever gave money to a black family.

That they raised all this money. And they created an entire program off of that. So if you're not having nobody say, hey, what's happening, honey? We need no, all these holograms should sound good. Yeah, and we need a residual. That's it. That's it. So it's nothing wrong with having that conversation.

So if y'all gets behind people like a can again, I'll knock the hustle. No. Do what you do, baby. Hey, do what you do. But we have to have our platform supporting me, too. Ain't no money in this for me. Trust me. We need to find out where the fuck that Black Lives Matter money going to?

For real, no, real talk. Where did it go? Where did it go, ain't it? Huh? There's a little bit up the rush to say. I mean, what did you go right now? No, hey. I've been wronged that.

I didn't have you. Hey, man. Where you know where we went to Louis Vuitton And redrobin He's got some diamonds and shit Vacation credit cards No, that's real talk Yeah, no real talk

Where all the stolen money goes Yeah, I mean, we're gonna recognize our power man Realize our power that we have 85 South has a power That they haven't probably tapped into yet Well y'all can come here anytime y'all want to I'm put on the record I'm here to do the news once in a month I'm relocating to Atlanta.

I just want us to know. I'm going to give me an apartment out of this. Don't tell me. No, I just want us to know. Tupac said, We got a whole news desk and you need to come down. Man, I'll come to this. Man, I'll be dropping this shit.

In a way, people understand it. Tupac said, if you give me 10 years, I have my own political party. That's the fact. He said that. And I was recruited by him. Yeah, he said that. And the crazy thing, no, I can see. You know, what's bugged out for me is that when I say that,

I never have the person in the person. a room that was actually with me with him that night and I got my frat brother over there who's from Duvall County Jacksonville you know what I mean like he was literally with me that night so it's bugged out because when I usually tell a story he's not around I'm in Jersey you know he's in Lardo Georgia but to see him sitting here when I say that it's different because for me it just reconfirms like nah this was real you know what I mean

like we're mammas for real so man that's dope that's a real shit sometimes people can see things for you that you can't see like just saw you as leaders

and somebody who you know put the bill for the change but he said it though he said he said I want you to do it in Newark I want Trest to do it in East Orange I want common to do it in Chicago I'm going to do it in Oakland

Oakland on the step me I'm gonna do it in Baltimore Nicky the Oakland would have accepted that nigga right there as a little baby but I don't know if anybody has any children that's 18 or 20 or whatever

but I don't know if you're 18 or 20 year old was talking like that man was talking that he was right no man hold on before Martin Luther King was before Maca Max

when Pop was talking about shit way ahead of his time way ahead his time I consider myself his wife he was gay I do hell yeah I'm like He probably was

He was married He was immobilizing So he had gay Yeah He was in Baltimore Oakland He was in New York He was a mobilizer

That's what I'm trying Yeah He's in Jersey Yeah That's why all Shut out to the outlaws Man You know

That's why most of the outlaws Are they from Jersey Yeah No That's right When he said Did he pop the police In Atlanta?

Yes He was a motorcycle When he said No When he I started my group Concree groups You know

When you talk about the Rose Group in Concord, which is from Pock. When he said, me and my girlfriend, even though she's talking of the girl, I'm the girlfriend. They just get me the muscle, put me in the room. She hears the girlfriend. So we can have a conversation so they can know, no, I mean, well, how are we going to do it?

This is how the mafia do it. Again, it's not illegal. It's nothing we're going out of turn. It's just simply saying this ain't just jokes and views. No, it's not. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm different. Contact 85-time show, man. Hit up Lose, man. Send the check. I'm telling you, let's mobilize, mobilized, that's for real. I'm going to do the right shit with the money. Right. It's not just going to be some money.

No, we get loud. You are the gangster in charge, not the way or the way around. You run this shit. One thing about politicians, they need people in the room. And now we have to be a whole bunch of people in the room. I just need a couple hundred people. There don't even, that's what people, that's the part of the guy. Just give me.

You're in your best guy. That's it. That's it. I just want y'all to know what y'all have, how powerful it is. Even if niggas is wrong, loud and wrong. You know, a lot of people get us sick. They don't know what they're talking about. They don't know.

That's all right. Just saying with me. Let's talk about it. Yeah, we'll figure this shit out. Because you got your own opinion. I talked to a lot of black conservatives. Like, you believe in what you believe. If you really pay attention.

Who are you calling a black concern? A lot of people are black conservatives. Oh, don't be, see, you got to talk to them. When you saw shit like that. I look at me. When you look at the majority, I look that way. Because they're going to like, yeah, you're a black conservative.

No, fuck I'm not. No, no, no, no. Let me tell you why if you grew up in the South. There's a difference between conservative and Republican. Republican is how you vote. Conservative is how you think. So when we talk about, and that's the difference people got to understand. When you talk about conservative values,

when I look at my grandmother, who didn't believe in abortions, didn't believe in same-sex marriage, grew up in the Midwest, who didn't believe, who believed in charity, but wasn't to give you shit. She tells me, hey, you got to sit on your own bottle. You should have managed your money. You should, that was the worst thing. As a t-shirt, but she ain't got no problem. Yeah, but she ain't got no problem given to the food pantry.

I'm going to get this. But you, you're going to make sure you know how to sit on your own bottle. Those are conservative values. Give to charity, but she votes a Democrat. I tell her time, Grandma, you're really a Republican. but because of the way the parties have been set up she votes Democrat

so when I say black people have a lot of conservative values I'm talking about our value system especially in the South what we believe is important I tell things out to every rap is a conservative you believe in 2A you're bust a nigga down you believe in carry

your own shit you believe in your own money I ride around and I get it is mine I spend it that's a Republican value yeah right it is right clearly they love the 7th Amendment that's it that's it that's it Man, when you look at all the, first time I met

Shown. I'm thinking like shit, I might be wrong. No, I'm saying, but when you have the wrong voice. Yeah, no, seriously, I lean more towards left and I just right. No, seriously, every rapper is. When I lean more towards left because of our social connection to the hood. We want to make sure to the poor is taking care of. Everything you ever got dope, want to make sure, let me make sure they got turkeys, make sure they got this, make sure they got that. So that's our liberal position. But when you look at just like, entrepreneurs, When we look at how do I get my money? I won U.S. Department of Congress last year for entrepreneur of the year.

When I look at how are we getting this money? How are we moving? Who want to pay more taxes? I want to pay less taxes. When I look at the homies who got weed dispensary and saying, man, they're killing me on the taxes. That's a Republican conversation. That's not a Democrat conversation. So we just have to know, like, where are we and remove party aside and have the conversation on what best serves us?

If you're going to give licenses a nigga to run legal weed dispense, dispensaries, then make sure we're taxing people correctly so they don't go back in the pen for the shit they could be doing legal. Shalda Requin and Charlene the God. I know Charlotte don't like to say his name a lot. But in Jake in Newark, who Ma was intricate in making sure that they have a nice dispensary lounge in our city. I need to be. I need that.

Once they started sending these checks in, I'm going to need somewhere to get together with my people and then discuss policy. No, that's facts, though. And I'm not being in touch with the people. That's facts, though, those real. I mean, we're joking and all of that, but everything that says is talking about. Y'all about to start getting calls with me once in a thing. And then I'm calling her with the two-bock-planning-old.

I was just thinking. That's shit you say about the money. They do want me money, Tass. I get all the motherfuckers who watch your shit behind you. What you want to do? Yeah. no real talk like they owe you for real for real I need you to help me get it man I'm here to do it and you can do all of that though

you can still rap and do all of that absolutely no Trump still got 91 charges right we ain't changed I got to tap your in with Mr. Fadman man we ain't changed it for no money I just came on for tour with uh Farside and onyx and nonfiction right into a meeting talking about the budget for the biggest city in the state of New Jersey. That's hard. That's hard. That's awesome. That's hip hop.

But that is derived from conversations with people like Tupac Shakur and other people, Tesla Figaroa. Like, this is what we are. We are not just one thing. Right. We can be the 85 South show and then we can be in the mayor's office on Monday morning. No, y'all just turned to us up. This is the 85 South community service police.

Acadvention Center This isn't a show no more I'm going back to Cali This is a hard issue Man This is the actuation center The name of the business Like real tall

Man we know I'm sitting Joe knows and shit All that white lady that we know What's it on? Let me show you how impactful this is So y'all may have heard So I do the front page news On The Breakfast Club

I did the front page news During the time That Trump had is indictment me. Shout out to NV. Injust. Shout out to NVINJS. Chat out of just later. I want you know how I'm packed what this is. You have the first president of the United States be on trial right now.

On trial. Juror number five. They said, where do you get your nose? She said, TikTok, Google, and sometimes the breakfast club. Y'all know how motherfucking power that is. Now, y'all, when I do my Instagram lives, they didn't hear that.

They didn't hear that. Do you know that's in the history books? You have the first time ever You're number five Five is not one of my favorite numbers now They didn't know that though They didn't know when I do live When I do my Instagram live

Everybody who follow me I always say put a five in the chat If you hear me Put a five in the chat if you hear me Put a five in the chat if you hear me That was confirmation Maybe I got you five on it I got five on it's what the song said didn't it

Yeah It said I got five on it Y'all didn't get that though Let me say one time Let me say I got five You said I got five like this Kind of like this Kind of like 85.

Like 85. We're talking numbers. We're talking numbers. We're talking to the book of numbers. Can I preach this game, too? I'm going to talk to. Can I preach this game too? The children of a man, nigger, they said,

jury number five, they didn't even understand how powerful five was. You know, my fingers moving like this. Man, it's so, man, it's so powerful. They didn't even get it. It went over your head. It went over your head. So 10 years ago when I said, the days of using hip hop is a political fundraising gimmick

without accountability to heal the story the hip-hop tells is over. So, although you thought she was just saying something, you thought it was just enough. I understand how to lower work. I understand that it's 10 commandments for a reason. I understand that 10 is complete and 5 is halfway.

We got more to do. Can I go ahead? I'll put on my preacher in this morning. Can I put on my preacher? Yeah, man, they didn't get it. Well, I said we got more to do. Gerald number 5 had a lot of power in it. It's power in the word.

So it could have been anybody. My brother been the 14th, they had up the 5. But could it have been anybody since? It's 12 jurors. Why did the Lord pick five? Why did they say, what did you listen to? I listened to the breakfast club news. Oh, okay.

Not nobody else? Come on the breakfast club. Nobody else. So you mean when you in the morning? Who did? Who did the breakfast club? I think I do. I think I did at least in the 91.

Wait, whoa, whoa. I think I did. I think she knew it. Yeah. Play with God if you want to. See, that was because I was going through a really tough time. And jury number five popped up. on there and said, I got you.

Don't worry about just like when you wanted to Mount Sinai because I was on Matt Sina. I meant off social media for fucking weeks. Run out your resume. Yeah, I'm just telling you. I go to Mount Sinai

every now and there. So people say, why are you off social media? Because I'm on Mount Sinai. I'm trying to figure out what it is. I don't know what it is. I need to go up and figure it out. Ten Commandments, I'm going to write it.

Go down, get upset. Get frustrated with niggas though the taverns down. Sound like a little completion or something. Sound like a little bit of completion. So when jury number five stepped in the building and said the breakfast club, And they said, oh, it's okay, we don't want to assume you're anywhere, but that's confirmation for me.

Because we have way through. Hip-hop is the pop culture. Yeah, that is true. That man is real. I'm telling you. Well, the fuck do be having their eye on us. Man. Eye on us.

They, what? We are the way things move. 85 South is hip-hop. For sure. Tesla Figuero is hip-hop. Do it all is hip-hop. They watch us. Now we are politics.

They're watching us. And it's the scariest thing in the world. But you have to push the line As long as you have people behind you You can do anything Anything out of all just I'm serious I go back to that New York is the largest

I just got to put Pianning that again The largest city in the country Out of millions of jurors Millions that they could have chosen How did I select you for this moment? How was it you This moment, this hour, this time

And to assign you to this number It's about people People that follow me on IG, no. That's my thing I always say. If y'all with me, if I got a witness in the house, put five in the chat. That's right. I'm known for that. So, to add on everybody, I select you for this moment.

It got to be something. It got to be something bigger than just. Entertainment is important. Galvanizing our community is important. Definitely. Everything we do is important, but I want you to take that entertainment and not have to beg to me. Just going back to that. They reduced it, they reduced the 90%.

What do you think about to happen? to tubi. You think they're going to let you knickers keep making this paper? Yeah, yeah. In about a year or two? Tudibir rocking. Yeah, they're rocking there. But they're about to text knickers. So I'm trying to tell directors, come on, let's get organized. And let me

say this, because I know people, I got to say this and thank y'all for giving me the time. Right now, people joke a lot about Tugie. You know, always bloopers, always bullshit, always this. What I'm trying to tell people, it's good stuff. You need understand, too, put niggas work. That's right. People are taking direct,

becoming directors becoming producers I'm trying to do my shit getting better if Tyler Perry had when he's first started the nigga we've been on because Tubeby says

yeah Tubeby saying we ain't waiting on Hollywood nigga you ain't gonna keep gay keeping we're gonna get up here we're gonna make this paper I gotta stress this because I'm really trying

to get directors to fuck with me because what you need to understand is when you have that type of power they will be cutting your ass out in a year or two I'm looking at nigs now hey hashtag Tubby let them let them know

to put it on They don't give them the fuck about your hashtag. We need to be organized coming and say, Nick, we'll shut this bitch down. We got 20 million views between these three this director, that director, all the truth will shut this bitch down. You either going to release this shit or nothing. When you ain't coming in with that kind of power,

when it's time for the streaming, because they're going to drop that shit too. Again, shout out to Congressman Goldman on the hip-hop task force. One of the policies that he's pushing is the streaming policy. Rappers getting paid 0.003%. of your stream. You ain't even getting a penny for that shit. Why y'all not organized

and having a conversation? We can't get a penny. You can't get a penny? When you can't get a penny? When we're not organized and say, niggas this or nothing? Is this or nothing? To be y'all should be really saying,

no, we got collective and not everybody. Just two or three. It don't take everybody. Two or three. Say, hey, we got 50 million your motherfuck. You are going to release this shit. We want our shit guaranteed

or return for the next 10 years. That's why Fox News, people don't understand, why Fox News is so powerful because they negotiated a deal with every cable distributor. That's what people don't know. Even when you say, I want to support FAC News. You know, you got to support it. If you got cable, $2 is going to Fox News. They didn't negotiate like MSNBC. They didn't negotiate like CNN.

Fox News is the most profitable in the number one news outlet in the country. People say, oh, how are they number one? Only old people watch them. No, they beat out ESPN and Nickelode. Damn, for real. Yes, there are the number one basic cable, not including your premium channels. They are number one and have been for the last decade. Because they negotiated a deal that needers don't even know how to negotiate.

It's not that we don't know. You just don't know that the door is over there. It's not that we don't have to smart so we don't know how to do it. Why y'all nigs ain't negotiating with two? Why don't I say for the next 20 years? We need to make sure these number one series, we get into because I know y'all going to switch it up just like you did with YouTube. Yeah.

These are the conversations that we should be having. Y'all are in entertainment. Y'all are hanging before we do this, trust me, they will make a specialized deal just for you, just like they do everybody. They make it just for you. But if you're not organized, and you think the only thing you do is hashtag,

y'all ain't too. These motherfuckers don't get a fuck about you adding them and no comments section. It's the organization. We do need the comment section, but you need somebody else in the caucus that's having a conversation to say you're going to either do this or you ain't.

Every gang bang, every territory beef, everything that you see in a pen to chase your street up, it was a conversation first. And somebody didn't do what they were supposed to do. And now we got to get with it. So the key is the conversation. And then what is the consequence? If niggas ain't willing to pull the consequence and say, we'll shut this shit down like the Tea Party did, like the Trumpas did, we don't have no power. And that's what we're fucking up at that.

Right. Niggas ain't willing to say, ah. But that's because they don't have. Right. But see, that's what I'm a scratch like boys in the hood. Yeah. And you're going to jump in a car, you're not. Right.

But that's what I'm saying. It's not that people like, I use the boys in the hood analogy all the time. Look at Trey. Trey set up there and did all this swinging at the air. Got some ass off of it. Got real sympathy for those. I'm just saying he did all that swinging at the air. We did not ride out.

Went against his daddy, jumped in the car, but it was time to bus. That niggins said, let me on out the car. Ain't nothing wrong with Trey, though. We need Trey. At school, though. Right. But we don't need that nigga in the car at all.

Right. And all. Why was you even in the car? Why was you even in the car? This is what I said about when you say shrapher. But we need them. We need them at more house, though. But what don't need them in the car?

Right. This goes to your point when you say your rappers get more involved. Yes. But I do need you to know your role. So if I'm getting in the car, me. No, Jay Cole ain't want no beef.

Yeah. It ain't a right. Great rapper. Stay your ass. I advocate for that. I advocate for that. Stay where you in. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He comes from that West Coast, so he wanted the action. Right, and it's important. I'm a Jay Cole fan. Yeah. But you need to. He didn't want to ride in the car.

Right. And that's important. If I tell you, man, I'm ready to bus. Or how you know? Because I'm United States Air Force, M60. Gunning, I'm qualified on the M60, on the M16, on a long rocket on a 9 millimeter. I bus. We don't want no confused.

Did y'all hear that? I'm in my security, please. I think I bust. Yeah, so we ain't got to be confused about, like, what's what? It ain't just. I drove our bus if I had to check Well then they show me what's happening Because I'm qualified on all that shit

Everybody got to know they roll We ain't mad at Trey But see this is why I want y'all know the danger Of having Trey in the car with you See, having a nigger like Trey going to either tell on you Or he's going to get somebody killed Because you wasn't ready for that action

One of the two options One of the two options You wasn't ready for that action Are you going to tell? That's why when Ice Cube looked at them For those of them while the kids White Boys and Hood go back and watch it It's a message in that

When he said let me out An ice cube looked at him like Nick we knew you weren't about that shit. You got to not get confused. This is impolity. Don't get it. But it's awful for letting that nigger ride with us. No, but we don't know. Let that nigger not get in the car.

But we don't know. We don't know. Now, I do Trey was a fucking square. Right. Well, you knew that thing is supposed to be in the car. But most people don't know because Trey had on the costume. He had on the costume. This is why when niggas dies

and you got niggas swore at the funeral and the phone costume, he had the shirt on with the blood on. He did all the swinging at the air. Who did all that jumping out windows and shit Politicians They wear costumes You got to know the difference

The police got me costumes Man You got a different A hood you got on your costume That's it He had a custom on So surely I'm thinking That's his best friend

He got blood on him He saw he dies Shurdy this nigga gonna ride Surely He's not He's swung in air He got some ass off of

And he'll off him For the shit You know we love him A nigga's sympathy So hey And they this thing They made it because that nigga had a daddy got out of the car. I don't like that.

Yeah, but no, but it was meant for him to get out of the car. And it also was meant for Ice Cube to do what he did. It was meant for Ice Cube to die. They said that somebody had to die at the cross. It was meant for all of those things to happen. My thing will push the line these nigger, know your road, like in the hood. OGs, B, G's, YG. Know your role.

If your job is to put graffiti in the hood. Ain't nothing wrong with that. All I need you do is graffiti in our community. It's not wrong with that, bro. It's OGs. that don't know they OG. These things are not even embracing being an OG.

Right, but that's where the organizing comes in. I'm trying to play the part that wasn't written for you on a screen. Right. But it is. That's true.

That's all it is. But I believe there are some OGs. It is. It's just a few. Shout out to my big homie killer boy. Shout out to Taco. What I'm saying, there are some OG.

It is. It ain't going to be everybody. I ain't looking for everybody. Okay. I see where you're going on. I'm looking for 200. I'm looking for 500. I'm looking for 5.

I don't need, hey, like a pill. Two, three, four, one. You're not looking for a hundred holes. Listen, who won't a hundred holes? Four is a solid one. Who want, man? Yeah.

I know what you're talking about. Hey, first of all, any good pimp on how to govern. The quality, this is what Andre Taylor told me. He said, you got to know how to govern that shit. Man, I don't know. Everybody, did I hit the homeless spitz? Come on. Answer, Taylor said, anybody, it ain't about a hundred holes.

You hit it right now. It ain't about 100 holes. It's about 10 good ones. It's about five good ones. Andre Taylor said, we just talked about this last week. Gorgeous drake. He said, the problem. He's a lot of men, shut out to him.

He said a lot of men don't know how to govern. This is government we're talking about. We got to stop talking about everybody ain't with it. Set out to the Vietnamese community, no disrespect. But you see Nail shop, nail shop, nail shop, hair shop, here, shop. You don't never see them having no meeting or no conversation on a podcast. We all got to get together. Uh-uh.

They got their own shit individually. And you live three of them in the same party. And you compete with each other and make each other better. Nika, you did that, you're going to buy or I'm going by. You can compete with each other, make each other better. The problem is they having a motherfucking meet. Saying, we're going to take over this whole hood. The home block.

And sitting back laughing at nags. Why, we sit up talking about everybody got to get on a second. No, nigga, it's safe for everybody. This is for the few and the chosen. That's some real shit. You know what? You just went crazy. No, that's for real.

She went crazy. Yeah, no, nigga. You went on, you're in the way, Nick. So, I talked to my son, Tamika. Shout out to, until free time. Yeah. Yeah. Shut out to them.

We got two different ways we organize. They talk about accomplices. You know, we need, oh, no, allies. We need good allies. We need good allies. I ran the ally group. That was when they were my company in Orlando. Want to come to this policy?

Now, I want a motherfucking ally. I want an accomplice, nigga. Put your fingerprints on the motherfucking shit. Because when we go, when we go... Touch this ratchet with. Yeah, me. Touch your shit with me, bitch. Allies, you think of shut up too much for me.

One minute you're over here and that's where that. Now, we're going in together. We're going in together. We finish. That's it. No, now hold this shit with me. Because there's something about the investment that an accomplice has. There's something about being in the foxhole, I guess, because I was trained one man up, one man down.

It's something about being in the foxhole with me that makes me comfortable. If we ain't doing it together, then I ain't doing it, because I don't trust your motherfucking ass. But allies are important. You do need allies. That just ain't my role. So, Tamika, my son, do that very well. Kill a Mike do that very well. Let's get allies.

But I'm the motherfuckers than going to be talking about the conference. You in it or you ain't in it? Because all the other shit. Run your life. You can't go on no yard. Y'all say whatever on social media. Y'all let anybody come, say whatever they want to say. Nigger, let's run down the receipts.

It ain't a penitentiary in the world. You can't go to that running down your receipts. You can't. You can't go to any penitentiary and walk on the yard and say, hey, nigga, I got a good idea. Wait a minute, hold up. Where are you from? Where are you from? And who did you come under?

And, nigga, show me your paperwork. Yeah, show me your paperwork. We have to be like that in politics. It ain't just me saying I know how to organize. No, me, let's talk about the 20, 30, 40. You got the shit behind it. Let's talk about the races under my belt. Let's talk about flipping a statement.

Let's talk about doing this shit. Let's talk about organizing the hood. Let's talk about it for real. It ain't just good enough to talk, baby. We got to get out this motherfucking talking. That's bad. We got to get to this real, this 90s grimy shit, where it mattered what somebody did.

I don't talk about hip hop because I say I'm hip hop or I'm cool. A lot of these pun, there's no disrespect. But my counterparts who sit around and put their hat to the back, man, you ain't ever been in no function. you ain't ever been put on you ain't to be on she's just back at you

she'd be on you know all you need is a bucket hat too almost right push my pearls

this shit matter though and it ain't no disrespect to my counterparts but man sis I see you home me like you ain't really

what it is for real and it matters and I want you to in that space that you are. Like I need you in that space is, get with me. But at the end of the day, shout out to Sylvia Nunn. The founder, the founders of Pyru, who are doing

great things in non-profit. Who really out of Sylvia? Sat out to Sylvia none. Wow. Shout out to Sylvia. Man, that's the home girl. When you can highlight those stories and say, man, they went from Piru to Politics and actually be invited at the function.

That's a part of that book. Man, Pyru to Politics. How better Does that get, I mean, it doesn't get any better. But you see, you see Paroo from Cali to New Jersey. Right. Shout out Sylvia, man. Yeah. Real tough.

And that's the big home girl. So, yeah. Look, we're going to have to make this a 10-part series. This y'all's off. I'm just going on and on, y'all. I'm sorry. You're going to sit up. We've been waiting on y'all to come through.

We're going to have to make this quarterly or what? No, I told me, I'm moving to Atlanta. I'm going to come back often. We're getting in a park. But I got to be at the news that, hey, This is what I need y'all to know. This is, this, this is this. This is just what my calling is.

It ain't, I've lost way more than I've gained. Because when you don't take one side of the other, I either take a full Democrat side, get paid for that, or take a full Republican side, get paid for that. I've been riding in the middle for a long time. And she's official, y'all. I've been riding in the middle for a long time. That's clear.

This is the most important. I'm a part of Blake Fick Podcast Network. Yep, yep, y'all. Yeah, for a reason. It's important that. entertainment is tapped in it's important if I'm sitting down with you it's important I'm too horrible to say let me tell you how this pussy makes with politics oh Lord let's have this conversation I've been twisting my ankle a lot

shall we talk about it before we need to go back no that we got it before we need to be a whole episode yeah and they said the sister was like what you mean is politics the pussy Oh man, let me just show it. Let me show it. Man, it's the most powerful thing in the world. And then you have the women in the audience like, yeah, yeah, that's right. No, for real.

It's real. You got to sell it to tell it. Once you get, man. You got to sell it to tell it. Man, it's so wet-in-or. Yeah. Your desire has been a real fast. It's messers across.

Right, no. So how do we make that connection? Or they're like, can you come on and talk about Possett? Girl, I can show you how this whole thing. How this whole thing, from the dating, the cord, the fucking, the side chick, the wet spot, how all this shit is politics. It is.

Gaster Chronicles, another one of our podcast made. Let me come on and tell you how the electoral colleges, the OGs, the Ys, the B. Let me break down the Englewood family so you can understand the electoral college. Let me come to 85th, tell you to know, hey, Atlanta ain't just, we ain't just talking. It's one of the most powerful. It's the only state that has flipped,

that is literally a battleground with black people control. And more importantly, hip hop. You are in the center, no other state. When you talk about who could, that's why I was glad that Hershawaker came so close. I don't even see the game with that. I was glad because it let you know, you're going to have to come fuck with Atlanta. That's right. You ain't just get just passover niggas in Georgia.

Yeah, you can't do that. But see, but what they didn't get, though, guess what? Atlanta's the, this is where we, hip hop actually runs shit. Because when you look at Atlanta and you look at everything the brothers are doing and entertainment is doing in Atlanta, y'all truly run this shit so now that they put you in one of the early states i'll give you all their game later and georgia's one of the early states so that mean you get to flip that they literally giving you a key to flip and you don't even know it they say it's going to be

iowa i mean i'm sorry uh south carolina first all black this is the new early vote and i'm saying this and i'm going to get on the early vote the early bowl is what matters so you have south carolina first i won my election probably because of early vote. Shout out to Monaco Cruz because I won my early vote I mean I won my vote because of early vote. So the new

so just so y'all know the new what they're trying to get is the new early both states. South Carolina first black Jim Clyburn third New Hampshire New Hampshire no yeah second New Hampshire third Georgia coming to mix

second I'm sorry New Hampshire and Nevada Georgia coming to me. That means you get to flip it. That means say, hey, I know Jim Clyburn picked XYZ, but when he gets a three though, we decide if it's going to be what he say or what somebody else say. The third place is the better.

Not necessarily the first. It's the third. Because the third get to say y'all say y'all's going. Right, and then the fourth is Michigan. So when you talk about the early states, not everybody else's voting. I want y'all know. It ain't about everybody.

It's only about four, five states that really run this shit for real. And Georgia's at the center of it. about being intentional. And you guys are at the center of it. This is the only state that has four counties that are black that have flipped. Blue red, blue red. Bloods. Left crib, blood cribs. Left side crips, they held a flag on the left. Right side bloods. Hold a flag on the right. Republican right, red. Democrats, blue, left. Left right. It is literally bloods and crips. And Georgia is the only state that has black power that can do that.

and Atlanta, which is the hip-hop mecca forward to south. So this is where your voice actually matters. This is where what T.I. say and Killa Mike and what y'all say? This is where this shit matters. So you have money to, you have movement, real motion to say,

it's going to be this or it ain't going to be that. We just have some for these three or four things. If we ain't getting these three, four things, and we know 10 ain't going to happen, but we want these three or four things. And they want I counsel people to be on board, when I may to be on board. If you organize around this, I know y'all are national, platform but you're still in Atlanta

so at the end of day y'all got Georgia at your hands literally and that's what people come to you and say what can we do to help it ain't about no motherfucking hush money it's about loud nigga you either gonna do this a cold till their last time turning down my husband there ain't there be no fucking hushmoney

you don't stop seeing that shit because the loud money is so much better the loud money is so much better don't try to sweetening the deals Y'all, I'm sweet to this. Hey, can we break it down on some game? Hush money being changed. Hold on.

Somebody just found a lawsuit the other day. Well, we ain't going to make that. If I tell you, I'm going to get you $5 million to be quiet. And she said, I think I'm going to go to the media. What's you going on for? No, I'm going to the media. That ain't enough to shit. That's right.

I think you just took it. I don't mean literal. No, but I mean literally, though. But I mean, I wouldn't fuck with it. But the hush money so much, the whole money is so much better. The loud money is better. When they are afraid of what. you're gonna say it how you gonna move people that money so much better for most of what I'm

what I'm saying is it sound fucked up bit white people show the money you're gonna trust that I'm nervous exactly but they sound like the setup all right they're putting this up on you got it's absolutely but they're even white people's black people too you have the power well I look fuck hypothetical money it's all hypothetical to the community. No, that's the episode. No. What's the same to be?

I just want our conversation to be about, it's not about paying me to shut up. Right. It's about paying me because I'm going to talk loud and you need to make sure you ain't on my list. Absolutely. That's the bottom line. If you're on my list, then it is.

Like all the other cultures. That's right. Every other motherfucking culture, everybody. This is going to be an installment one. Y'all might start coming back. Next time y'all come, we're about some podium set up in this bitch.

We're back. We're here. Well, we're dead. I definitely appreciate it. It's y'all first time stopping through the 80s time show but don't let it

be the last. I hope you learn some. I hope you listening. I hope you listening. And to all you motherfuckers who owe me money, you do what you do to make it right.

Let's do it on. Y'all close. Because if it ain't in the budget, what? Yes, well. Because if it ain't in the budget, you're probably, you're going to have it,

I don't want to live. We're out of talking that for Calais. We're not to get you to the same table, but I don't know that was long, y'all. No, we're good. Now, hello, before you do it, I see, symbol, I see. Oh, this table is hip-hop. Everybody got to understand it.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. For My Heart Podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road.
