Yo, yo, yo, today's episode is sponsored by hydro neat hydration, electrolyte packets. Welcome to Episode 85 of the culture was good. And I'm all right. There's some things to talk about today that these guests share what isn't like $4 now?
00:00:15.449 --> 00:00:19.079
Sure, like 396. I said, Well, fine, I was gas coming to them
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:36.509
telling people for like a year, matter of fact, by for the election, before Biden even won, I was telling people like, Yo, gas is gonna go up to $4 this is what always happens. Obviously, the Russia shitting happen and helping but I called the shit like years ago, I was like, Yeah, we're gonna get $4. Again, as soon as the election is over, this is going to start going up.
00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:59.039
But anyway, man is give a shout out to a coach or crew, man, I just want to tell them, we appreciate them. We couldn't be doing this without them. And I want to let them know that I hear them. And I'm saying when they when they come to me, or they come to us with suggestions or critiques or advice or whatever, I listen, I hear them.
00:00:53.909 --> 00:01:13.409
And recently, it was brought to my attention that we haven't reviewed any albums. And the bar exam recently. It was also brought to my attention that we haven't done and Is that racist segment. So look, first of all, there's been there's been more important shit to talk about.
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:44.250
Yeah, we've been talking about here the last you know, like month, and I felt that it hasn't been any any albums that have been noteworthy. Until now, though. So I did hear Yeah, and I was gonna do this anyway, this week, because the Conway album came out last week. And you know, I like to give it a week, at least for us to really listen to it. So we're going to review the Conway album on this episode. And as far as the Is that racist segment, I felt like we've been doing it for a whole month, the last whole month has been about racism between the Joe Rogan shit right? Between you know, politics
00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:49.109
between all types of women talking about racism or black history month so
00:01:49.109 --> 00:02:00.810
I'm saying it was black history month that we spent every episode talking about racism, so you know, but yeah, technically we didn't do it Is that racist segment, but something happened this week.
00:01:56.790 --> 00:02:07.950
That, you know, deserves to be on Is that racist? So we're going to do that. And I think also people was missing angels voice, you know, when he was coming on, say, Is that racist?
00:02:05.549 --> 00:02:07.950
I think that's what it was, too.
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:40.500
But anyway, yeah, I hear ya. And I just want to tell you, you know, I appreciate y'all we couldn't be doing this without our culture, cruise last patrons. And I don't want you to, you know, don't hesitate to ever hit us up with suggestions, ideas, whatever I want. I want to make you know, your experience as a patron as pleasant as possible. And that being said, it was one of our patrons birthdays this week, so shout out to Grand Kaiser. His birthday was March 2.

Congratulations. I know how old he is not putting out a job like that. Absolutely. Another year
00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:48.449
life is a blender.
00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:48.449

00:02:48.780 --> 00:03:15.330
So if you're in the Central Florida area, you can check out Eric's cleaning services they doing good things out there. So happy birthday to my man. And there's also give a shout out to the black hair week. He's well he's one of our VIP patrons shout out. But yo where you want to start man we got we got the bar exam. We got the Is that racist? We got I want to talk a little bit about Kanye just a little bit you know, I don't like spending too much time on dude. Not talking about the game a little bit.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.330
As in the basketball game or as in the RAM rapper.
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:31.439
Give me a longer drink champion of you. Yeah, but just a little piece of it. Some he said it for fucking hours, man. I just want to talk about the one thing he said. We can go ahead and jump on Kanye. Everyone else here so why not?
00:03:31.680 --> 00:04:02.009
Okay, well, I guess this is both I guess both of these stories is coming in. Because the game it has to do with Kanye as well. When he went on drink Sampson, he said that they did more for him in two weeks than Dr. Dre ever did in his entire career. I mean, is that blasphemy? Because he put out the documentary on the DRE and that's a classic album. I feel like he's biting the hand that fed him before. And he's not feeding him anymore, but He fed them before. Put them on and shit
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.479
here today. So with that easy phone, what it what it can really do for him.
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:14.849
And that easy song was was for him just dissin Skeet, aka Pete Davidson sort of videos. It was funny.
00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:16.769
Yeah, pick him up.
00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:23.009
But yeah, you know, I think he helped produce his latest album. He's easily you know, he's hoping them on there.
00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:50.459
I don't know. But then check this out. Then 50 cent 50 cent tweets. You know, a picture of that comment of the picture of game and Kanye and games comment. And the 50s Like he's like huh what's what happened here? So he put in game actually responded to fit he's like, last time you did this with me. Do you in a clothing got put in a casket with the entire group and you went into television? I like power and shit. Leave it alone.
00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:56.430
I'm back outside. Fit the respondent today. Good. I don't think he wants to smoke with the game anymore.
00:04:57.779 --> 00:04:59.970
He do. I just don't think he cares. Now
00:05:00.598 --> 00:05:03.749
gaming really relevant more than 50 is still making money. So
00:05:04.348 --> 00:05:14.158
that's the point. And that's the point where, if I'm going to disagree with game was going to be about that, because Dr. Dre helped a lot of people.
00:05:10.468 --> 00:05:19.468
He did. But he gave a lot of them and starts, which is true.
00:05:14.158 --> 00:05:32.428
But after that, they kind of went upon and develop their own thing. All like all the people you saw on stage with Dre at Superbowl, Snoop started off, did his own thing. 50 started off, did his own thing and started off with his own thing.
00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:42.509
It's not like, you know, Dre has been fully producing over the past 20 years. It's he had their sporadic it's how his life is, but he's got into other interests and things like that.
00:05:39.988 --> 00:06:04.379
It's not his job to help anybody's career show job fix your shit. Not Drake, Drake, Drake. Drake is the greatest starting off point. Like if you have a Dr. Dre produce album, that means everybody's going to listen. But after that, y'all I'm thinking, I'm thinking I'm going to think out loud. Has there been? No, because at the dogs out, Dre wasn't really around, because of everything because he was an aftermath at the time.
00:06:04.738 --> 00:06:10.649
But I think Eminem is like the only person that Dre has really like held his hand all the way to the top, you know, I'm saying, but it's
00:06:10.649 --> 00:06:15.720
really the only the first two albums and after that empty, like going back to where we fit to just the first time.
00:06:16.230 --> 00:06:26.370
But they're also dripping, they all made their own way in the end period. They all did. So to say that Connie did the most of your career in the past week.
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:54.660
And this past year is that it didn't Dre did his entire that seems. You seem super disingenuous. Like it's just a shot at Dre Like, it wasn't my job to handhold through this entire time. As a matter of fact, as I said outside of him, he didn't really hold nobody's in. I mean, he would produce a track here and there. But he wasn't doing albums for people anymore. He's past that shit. He still is people still waiting for his album to drop. So that's just not going to be but for gaming to come out and say the thing about Kanye and I'm just not understanding all this.
00:06:54.930 --> 00:07:00.240
Aligning with Kanye. Game got to relax. But what were you going to say about Kanye?
00:07:00.749 --> 00:07:13.588
I just want to talk about his. I just want to talk about his Kim light girlfriend. his new girlfriend Cheney Jones. I'm calling her Kim light. Because she's like a clone of Kim, but just younger
00:07:14.730 --> 00:07:15.540
Xerox looks
00:07:16.649 --> 00:07:30.420
like he like yeah, I'm gonna fucking get me a younger version of Kim and I'm walking around with her. So he's already had two girlfriends after Kim, who was the one chick that was real brief. And she was like, Yeah, I love them. We were just having fun. Jones or whatever.
00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:34.230
That the actress to x No, no Jones, who he's with now.
00:07:34.379 --> 00:07:34.889
Fox
00:07:35.009 --> 00:07:38.310
five Julia. Julia Fox.
00:07:35.009 --> 00:07:44.790
Thank you, Julia Fox, who was younger than Kim. And now he's with Cheney Jones who's even younger than that. How does Jakey bagging the shorties well?
00:07:45.209 --> 00:07:56.910
Or is he just a come up for these for these chicks? I'll be seen with him a little bit. I'll come on some magazines. People are start interviewing me. And that's it. And then we could go our separate ways. And I'm already catapulted to the next level.
00:07:58.050 --> 00:08:12.060
They won't be to come up. They keep going on like this. Because like I said, it's Hmm. There's actually a deeper conversation to have. But that's having. I'm guessing you didn't watch Part D. But it depends on if you watch Part Three of the Netflix thing of
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.819
genius. I did not watch Part Three yet,
00:08:14.910 --> 00:08:18.629
then we can't have it.
00:08:14.910 --> 00:08:42.029
Because you'll see it. You see, like, I want to delve into his career. Afterwards, his struggles with mental health, so on so forth, you get it, but that's why I stated before when we're talking about it, it is dope. But like, everyone kept like saying like, I didn't see it as a hero's origin story. I think that's the origin of the villain. Like at this point, when this thing happens, it only becomes worse. And this is just proof matter. Like
00:08:42.029 --> 00:08:46.139
anagen. Right? Like anagen he starts off you love a lovable character.
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:59.429
You get it like just you just cannot escape the dark side. Now, I don't want to get too personal. And if you don't want to ask this question, that's fine. But and God knows I do not want this. I'm so God.
00:08:56.009 --> 00:09:06.840
This is me asking a question not pushing into Universal. Just take it as is. If you left your wife, or if your wife left you would you date a duplicate of your wife?
00:09:07.169 --> 00:09:09.059
Probably not. No. Right?
00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:18.029
It seems hella weird. I can see she has some similarities to her. But if you kind of looked at her and squinted your eyes, you see Kim?
00:09:14.669 --> 00:09:21.059
Yeah, but I don't know if the personality is the same. I know.
00:09:18.029 --> 00:09:21.059
She's saying I have no idea.
00:09:21.570 --> 00:09:23.820
There's just hella weird that of all the people in the world.
00:09:24.029 --> 00:10:13.169
Again, you're trying us you're pretty famous. You can date a lot of people, a lot of people in your field a lot of people in your, your status or so and so forth. So you can have them you can definitely make them shouldn't be a problem should be easy work your yay, not a problem. But you did a duplicate of your wife and then the way that you keep saying you want her back but everything that you're doing is the reverse of what it would take to get the person you're supposed to love back. Like I know I keep saying that. Please go and fuck him up because I believe that like he like yeah, that's the whole thing he seems more obsessed with Pete and he does with his wife. Also, he keeps talking about his peak. In a video he puts Pete like, the woman you want back like should probably take the time to give the effort to do so condition here and it.
00:10:13.980 --> 00:11:04.169
And the way he's acting tours in a way you send me threatening notes other said, you're making songs about beating up a boyfriend. And if you watch at least the first two parts of the genius documentary, nothing about Kanye scream stuff. So where are all these other ships coming from? I do not backpacker de Saint you. Right and that's fine. That's cool. And people love that about him. Like every every nigga ain't got to be hard. It's fine. It's, you can be a regular ass person. I wouldn't, I wouldn't never even call you a square. Like you just you live in your life and you're doing whatever you're doing. But the thing that all of a sudden someone's gonna be like, I'm this nice guy was so nice. Um, I'm just talking about No, you got to get more security. Come on. That's not enough. That's not you. You saw the whole thing we kind of use weird like I like I have literally no reason to buy it simply to listen to that fucking album. I'm sorry. As a matter of fact that you like rap two, off the top of your head, what is commies most memorable verse that you can remember.
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:23.460
I mean, my favorite Kanye favorite Kanye song is falls down. And I just like the very last part where he says we're all subconscious. I'm just the first to admit it. I thought that was my ROI. When I first heard that, and that's like the one line that stands out to me the most out of his whole catalogue.
00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:42.149
And that and that, that level of clarity is the thing that people are missing now. But this is not that met the whole thing. Kinda is a good rapper. I think it is why he thinks you'd be like the greatest. But like I said, it's not one of God. Like over your head, you can think of the best verse you can better versus just shooting your brain.
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.149
Like,
00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:47.549
I know, he'd been a lot of just little lines here and there like that line. And then the one from braces walks where he goes.
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:53.340
And if this take away from my spins, which will probably take away from my hands, and I hope to take away from my sins
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.149
that bring a day that I dreamed about. Next time I'm in the club. Everybody
00:11:57.690 --> 00:12:03.330
uses water. That's the water that stands out from NASA and to me. And that's it. Those are two lines that stand out to me his old catalog.
00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:48.929
And we all got a pair of rapids we all got our favorite lines, we all got our favorite verses verses all got our favorite tracks. And what we get is always like a touch of this the touch that touch of this touching that, but there's not one near verse that comes to mind. We're like, Yeah, that's that's the one ever and like it's not doubt his ability as a rapper not definite down his ability as a producer. But even I think that she struggled a bit recently we talked about it was Alan before. That's not the same guy. And we're applauding and we're giving credit to someone who's not the same guy. So calling this guy genius, which he probably is, but we sold them on a shit for so long, but now he's just getting lazy about it and not giving us shit that we need. I'm sorry, I love his music. I'm not buying a fucking$200 stem player. Just to hear one raggedy ass out. That's still not fully out there yet.
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:56.129
I'm good brother. But yes, you know what, you're absolutely right. We have spent exactly too many minutes talking about this.
00:12:56.850 --> 00:12:58.110
So let's go ahead and move forward.
00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:09.179
I like one last thing I like how he ended the video where it says everybody lived happily happily ever after except for skeet and he said Just kidding he's fine. Fucking cloud when
00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:14.159
it all kind of gets my like Matt was saying your
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.750
thing is ski his foot is easy to find bro he's out here.
00:13:18.750 --> 00:13:23.820
He's in New York. He goes to every knick game he said right courtside next to Chris Rock.
00:13:21.389 --> 00:13:23.820
You can see him you know
00:13:24.750 --> 00:13:39.690
it's not like he's out here. Hi. He had not at all like he just walked around Soho with a hot dog man he lives in his life right like if you're talking to a list if you really want to get at him he right there but to stop saying shit about me. You're not saying that about you? You got no concerns?
00:13:39.720 --> 00:14:01.860
I have a fuck Kanye. Or yay, whatever. Hey, I just wanted to mention real quickly we talked about books before and audio books you said you never like actually heard the audiobook. Right? Well, we just got we just partnered up with Audible is just affiliate affiliate partnership with Audible. Okay, you know, they powered by Amazon. They got like 200,000 audiobooks on there. I mean, the last book I read was The Will Smith shit.
00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:05.190
But I actually read read that they got books galore.
00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:08.399
Yeah. Which one? The Will Smith?
00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:11.730
Like I actually read it wasn't audio, but you can listen to it.
00:14:08.429 --> 00:14:13.379

While you're driving to work you can pop it on and see if you like listening
00:14:34.110 --> 00:14:40.559

You fuck with books. Like you mean I like reading?
00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:43.919
Yeah, like reading books.

Because I'm too busy listening to our podcast and others back. See. Trying to kind of keep this just trying to get your role in touch with anyway,
00:14:53.129 --> 00:15:06.929
this is some books in the audible trial.com/to coach. Yes, but let's get into this. Is that racist? No, this is reverse racism.
00:15:09.419 --> 00:15:11.789
thing, but I don't know, because
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:26.100
let me tell you what happened. Okay. So I took to Twitter, I told you about the blog I wrote, I only have one blog post up. And it's about, you know, Afro Latinos embracing their blackness and their, you know, African roots and stuff like that. I read
00:15:26.129 --> 00:15:30.750
Thank you. Would you thought about it? I think it was well written. It was short. Too long.
00:15:30.750 --> 00:15:33.809
You know, I mean, I want people because I know people don't read in today's generation.
00:15:34.589 --> 00:15:38.609
No, because they have audiobooks. Just due to verbal part. Oh,
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:51.360
hey, speaking of that, I did that exclusive for the patrons. So sign up, you get exclusive shit like that, just for the coach or crew. I recited it for them, and the Patreon so yeah, go to our Patreon page.
00:15:48.570 --> 00:15:53.639
And you can hear me recite the fucking block to you. You're welcome.
00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:58.409
Do you want me to you want to write it? me read it to my voice. His voice is better.
00:15:56.070 --> 00:16:29.159
We all do that. We could do that. The next one. They were Afro Latinas, like anti black like shut the fuck up Afro Latinas. I said then I go on like that. But no, I thought I thought was well written. I think you took your time with it. I think it wasn't something that you threw together. I think you actually thought like, I think you thought about it. I think that the conversation that we've had, that you've had with, like family members or so and so forth, like it's something about it like, but you're really down and you're black, the fact that so it's kind of interesting. So yeah, I don't get I really did.
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:29.159
Because when we
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:36.659
go you know, we've got these little family nights, and we're going over the old ass pictures that we found. And I'm like, damn, this is a really you know, this person look black.
00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:39.389
And I mean, this person's brown.
00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:44.519
This was all types of people in the shit. And as you get older, you start realizing like, oh, we you know, we're fuckin Africans.
00:16:46.529 --> 00:17:01.799
And we don't embrace this. If you have pictured like some dude named Reggie lay hold up. Who is this like? blackest fuck, like as you're like, oh, man, like we need to get to the root to this problem. Some off?
00:17:02.370 --> 00:17:04.980
Like, did you have a good credit? Do you have a good credit score?
00:17:06.029 --> 00:17:07.799
Is your credit Mulgrew right now?
00:17:07.828 --> 00:17:11.098
My shit is about 700 Hey, good, man. That's
00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:15.539
good. I'm on the clock.
00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:20.880
You know what's weird? Because when you were a kid, and when even when you're in college, you get your first job. You don't give a fuck about credit, all you get older.
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:29.670
I'm already thinking about my son's credit, I'm trying to figure out what should I could put in his name to help him build credit already. Don't do that, well, I'm not gonna, you
00:17:30.179 --> 00:18:04.048
know, I'll teach you a secret. I'll teach you how to help him. Okay, get a credit card, we're like a 500 island, right, but put him as the assignee on it. Okay. So he won't, so to ask for his name, social security number, so he'll be added to it, but he's never going to use it. So basically, he's attached to like your school. So he's building up credit on that one card. So basically, if you bought like, you know, like, act like you might link your Netflix bill every month, you pay it off. So therefore, you have a positive history of credit payments sold before for a very long time.
00:18:04.499 --> 00:18:14.278
Like so once he actually does apply for his own, he's already had like, he already has a history because it has been signed to that card. And then like I said, he doesn't have any negative things on it, anything else like that, so she'd be fine.
00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:18.059
Damn, this is this is good information, write this down.
00:18:18.450 --> 00:19:08.519
I'm a wealth of good information. I tell a lot of parents that like when your kid turned like like 1213 years old, just get it get a secured credit card for a small amount, whatever, like let's say even$1,000 Just assign one thing to it automatically that gets auto paid every month. So therefore like their names on it and your names on it, but that's the only thing and their credit history that's assigned to it. They'll never miss a payment though they're sure that they've already established credit for X amount of years so if they get to college and so on and so forth. If they want to apply there and get like student loans stuff like that they have a better rate because they already have an established credit line well credit history and rely met the credit history will already be established. Therefore someone to come time for loans they'll probably get lower rates because they don't need to cosign anything else like that they are responsible and looking at credit.
00:19:09.059 --> 00:19:11.609
What about for a four year old like my son angel?
00:19:12.269 --> 00:19:21.539
I got worried about that yet but I wouldn't worry about it now. Cuz he's 18 years old. He got 14 years of credit they don't want oh what would you boy
00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:24.089
a minute Yeah, let me see.
00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:26.970
Let me see your birth certificate be 35
00:19:27.000 --> 00:20:46.859
pay stubs any see some pay stubs from W twos I need to see your birth chart would they would you born the sign and everything else like that? But people be tripping because people don't know how to handle credit responsibly, I think but that's a lesson that you had to learn I had to learn a lot of people had to learn because I think when some people get it and I think that's partially our fault because when we're young we get credit cards like Man fuck that I'm paying it we get phones you're like man fuck that company I'm not paying them back so on so forth not know all the shit come together. They're like you know I want to get a car you want apartment we want this and XYZ Anyway, let me check my credit score like 520. That's a high number. It's really mad mathematically, like numerically Sure, but you're supposed to be like, I guess me like six ATS looks like 650. And above it probably about right. So you got to build all that shit up and you got all these other people here running scans with you and shit like I can clean up your credit and so on and so forth, just do the job zones, which is smart in some cases, like if you have if you can handle it, you can take all your credit card debt and everything else and put into one loan, they've cut a check, you pay everybody off, and you pay off that one thing, but you gotta still gotta be responsible with the cards and stuff that you have. Because just because you're paying them off, you don't clip and another thing, don't ever close a credit card account. If you don't use a ship, it's open for 45 Never ever, because it lowers your it lowers your credit history time.
00:20:44.220 --> 00:21:00.569
So if you got one open and you never use it, you pay $10 A month towards it. Just fucking keep it established credit lengthens your credit history time to know even if you had it for 20 years, you barely fucking use it, you still had it, you handle it responsibly. But don't ever close an account just let
00:21:00.569 --> 00:21:14.789
it begin of the consolidation like me. And wifey recently did this shit, bro, we took all our bills, we took out one loan and paid off all the bills we have. And we're actually in because the interest rates was high on all the other ships combined. We're actually saving money, like $300 a month.
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:17.579
And we only got that one bill and our credit went up. That's
00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:37.349
the point of a consolidation loan. That's the whole point. You put everything into that could that has a lower rate than all the other shit combined, all the other sheets paid off, but not other shit, you pay it off. Like if it's credit card, something that you got to handle that shit responsibly. That means if we go on bathroom shift, we're doing it out, we got to make sure we got two hours to pay that bitch off when it's due. That's it.
00:21:33.809 --> 00:21:47.640
People do consolidation loans, and then they still go back to the same like spending habits like you can't do that. The whole point of it is to tighten a fuckup not you got to tighten up, get squared away. I won't take no trips, no shit like that, but I'll just be smart about it.
00:21:47.878 --> 00:21:56.519
When does this become a finance episode, we could do the whole episode just on this topic whenever you want to spend money on how to improve the credit.
00:21:54.509 --> 00:21:56.519
Hey,
00:21:56.549 --> 00:23:06.359
whenever you want, man I try. I myself am fiscally responsible. I do it. I did it on purpose. And my credit fucked up when I got my first car. I wanted to get it in there, the rate was so high, it didn't make any sense. Had to get some old beater car which held itself together for a while but then I got blown under control. I started understanding like credit to debt ratio, a lot of things in regards to it. And when I got the next car, I still remember like the car got now I remember walking into the dealership, I did all the stuff, all the all the research and check my scores and so on and so forth. Actually had my my car was already pre financed. And when they sent me now, like, we got offers from the six banks and so on and so forth, blah, blah, like we can get you for this, this amount of month, and this for this amount of money and this this amount of money, but which would like to go with like, I don't have to go into your book, like what do you mean? Like, all go through finance, hold on, and I show them the thing on the phone, like, okay, they took the code in the back and like Hey, you're good. You're good to go like, Yeah, fucking do that. And then when I'm talking about my car, like they break, like, we have to run their credit score, like I know, because I'm black, but a little bit. It's fine. I knew like I knew I had to take a little bump in the credit score.
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:39.660
Yeah, I knew I had to run it Danny ran it it was like you know cuz like cuz people don't understand this is a credit score for home lending this a credit score for auto is different scales on it like your, your car credit score's is really high it's like, like 830 like Wow, really like yeah, like well, you know, we can you finance for $25,000 we can get to this car, like how much is it? Like 7375? Like, I can afford that is it? Well, you could take out a loan in regards to definitely no, no, no, no, but I didn't know how to kind of bind power until actually realizing put my shit in order.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.059
A lot of people believe in that shit on stuff you can't do that.
00:23:42.059 --> 00:24:02.490
Gotta be responsible. That's just like I'm, your credit score is like your word. Like, I gotta see how you trustworthy. And if you can't, if you might be saying you got this shit and money but that your credit goes to some different than you know you're lying to me. You got to hold your word. So you shut off on time do the responsible thing. Like say if you ever want to have an episode to talk about finance? We could do that. It's not a problem.
00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:07.920
Yeah, we could fucking bring some experts in here to talk to them about the ship.
00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:07.920
Absolutely. I'm
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:23.279
tired of being broke man. I'm sorry, man. I'm like I'm not and I have no shame to anybody who does because everybody got to do it. I got to survive, but I'm past foodstuff phase in my life. If I gotta go back then to me that desperate and had to do what I had to do but I'm past that
00:24:24.299 --> 00:25:10.109
dope. But we got sidetracked. Let's take a quick break and when we come back we do this is that racist?

00:26:14.549 --> 00:26:34.740
They represent a culture to represent the culture podcast I checked us out man Is that racist? So going back to the blog post that I did on your check that out on the culture dot one and then talk about Afro with
00:26:34.740 --> 00:26:40.410
my shotglass we're gonna have a running bit every time he said I'm just gonna take me a shot. Not today but next week like
00:26:40.439 --> 00:26:46.229
Yeah, the one coach that that one is the blog is on there, Afro Latinos need to embrace their blackness correct.
00:26:47.068 --> 00:26:49.949
So I went on Twitter, and I you know, I'm just promoting them.
00:26:50.459 --> 00:26:52.769
Anybody wants to go read this?
00:26:50.459 --> 00:26:57.419
And I don't want to say this gentleman's name. We both know who he is. You already know who I'm talking about. We've mentioned him enough on hand.
00:26:57.419 --> 00:27:02.068
He's been getting mad. Okay. He responds. You ready for this?
00:27:02.128 --> 00:27:03.358
And you tell me this is fucked up.
00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:07.769
I'm listening. I'm listening. That's why That's why I block the camera cuz I was going to clear my mind here
00:27:07.769 --> 00:27:22.680
went on Twitter. And I'm like, yo, go check out the blog, you know, Afro Latinos need to embrace their blackness. This gentleman responds, just be Latin. We're good on the black side without the band Wagoner's?
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:22.680
So then I go that sounds racist.
00:27:23.849 --> 00:27:41.609
And he goes, unpopular opinion black people scientifically can't be racist. And you alluded to that before I've heard this before. But can you be reverse racist? Who said just be Latin we're good on the black side without the bandwagon errs? That mean, that's a
00:27:41.609 --> 00:28:02.670
weird statement all unto itself. I mean, people should embrace their heritage embrace who they are. You Afro Latino and you and you accept yourself as Afro Latina. Like, you're, I want to say that you're accepting yourself as Afro Latino, but you're starting to understand that there are some there's a huge uniqueness about your family history.
00:28:02.670 --> 00:29:00.809
There's, um, there's some nuance that's required. It's not just, it's not just not just all Latin all day Latin game I not that. I like it, especially when when you're African American, especially in this country, like your because of the history of slavery, your your bloodline is probably tainted anyway. So you're the black African American, like I said, it's the whole depending upon how you put yourself, but I'm not going to put anybody else down for trying to understand their roots and where they come from, what I mean, the only tricky part I have about that is when people like they do that, and all of a sudden, like, Hey, man, I'm Afro Latina, I can say, No, you can't stop that. And I think it's part of like it literally kind of like, what the show is titled The culture. You can be Afro Latino, but your culture is going to be directly impacted in the environment that you're raising, right? You can be you can be Afro Latino. Yes. But if, if you were raised in a home that gently prepared meals that were of Spanish descent, or of Latin American descent, so
00:29:00.809 --> 00:29:03.450
we apologize and say rice and beans. No, no, no,
00:29:03.450 --> 00:29:06.839
not that. Like, yeah, what's it? What's the, um, what's the porch?
00:29:06.869 --> 00:29:09.119
Are we making a new fire?
00:29:09.210 --> 00:30:01.529
Are we gonna say, right? Fuck that important for now. Fracking, but you grew up in a household that spoke Spanish, everything about your culture is specifically geared towards that. That's fine. But it doesn't negate the other aspects of your life. Other members of your family that are a baby of Caribbean descent are of African American descent, if you want to get in touch with that site to get a fuller picture of yourself. Yes, you should do so. But you're not picking aside you're not jumping on the bandwagon. You're choosing your point and your purpose. Like I know that I am Latino, yes. But there are certain things about my life that I would like to know and understand better and that is outside of my culture. And those people that are family members, I would like to know more about them, where they came from so and so forth. So I think get a better understanding of myself.
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:07.589
So nobody wants to play the favorite that just seems weird the whole bandwagon shit. Like, what's it we're cool over here?
00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:53.700
No, we're not because we're pack of mixed people all into ourselves. Just historically like if, if your family family, family family family were brought up here on the trend, transatlantic slave trade, you're going to be blended with Cuba and you're going to be blended with Haitian you're going to be blended with African because that's the route that thing so you're gonna be blended with white or whatever. Because of the no the sexual assaults and rapes of slave masters at that time. So the whole thing that act like disappear, racist of nothing that seems weird to me, and trying to denigrate anybody else just seems unbecoming. You don't need to do that as Medpac you don't even need an opinion. Just be like, you're cool with that. That's fine. But everybody has their own. Now. I'm always the black guy talking about the racist thing. I'm the scientifically proven part is the weird part.
00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:56.910
Because there's not like, I need a pure research paper for him.
00:30:57.509 --> 00:30:58.079
Or her to
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:13.289
act like I like I get the idea of, you know, the oppressed can't be the oppressor type of shit. That's the that's the mentality when he says that, like, well, we can't be racist, because we're the ones that you know, we're being discriminated against historically. Correct.
00:31:09.990 --> 00:31:19.319
But you could be reverse racist, if you know, I'm saying, we had a whole episode about you questioning whether you hate white people or not. That's, that's a form of racism.
00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:47.549
No. And the thing is, I think, I think you can be biased. Like, because because racism is a contract. It's not an actual no sound where it's not an actual thing. It's like, racism is basically like the laws, the the implementations that are created to keep a particular race below, I guess, the standard or whatever, there's a more direct definition to it. Like you can actually look it up. Can you be biased?
00:31:47.549 --> 00:31:52.349
Yeah. But the whole thing is like, when people say like, black people can't be racist.
00:31:50.190 --> 00:31:54.420
Yes, it can. Just like Latin people can be racist, like Chinese people can be racist.
00:31:54.809 --> 00:32:49.799
Anybody who is in the minority who has been held down by the majority, they're going to have certain particular feelings and opinions built upon things that's going to affect them in their everyday lives. So they're going to state and you do these certain things. As a matter of fact, like when people talk about racism and everything else like that, they say that other people can't, like, part of us that's impossible. Like you had to learn it from somewhere. And to learn it from like a, you know, a racist source to kind of demean you and put you down and everything to that degree to try to say that it doesn't exist, or we can't be we are it just that you just don't use the same terminology. We're biased, not racist, but it's two peas in the same pod, just come from a different person. If you're from the majority. You look down somebody is racist, but if in the minority, you can do that as bias. Still same hurtful shit, but depends on your view of it.
00:32:46.109 --> 00:32:58.500
I guess you could say, alright, well, we love racism. It's not racist. It's just bias. But everybody treat each other respect or get beat up, like kinda gonna happen when Pete finds us.
00:33:00.269 --> 00:33:03.869
You know, let's get into this bar exam, the bar exam.
00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:09.089
Let's review this Conway album, called God don't make mistakes.
00:33:09.630 --> 00:33:12.000
He didn't know this album. I mean, I thought it was a fire album.
00:33:13.410 --> 00:33:15.690
I've been telling you about car we for the longest man just
00:33:15.690 --> 00:33:18.509
Grizelda in general. And he's not even in the memorial.
00:33:18.509 --> 00:33:21.960
You say he wasn't? Then you leave. Yeah. But you know, whatever.
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.829
For now. For now. We'll see. Everybody come home again.
00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:31.589
But coming home again.
00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:31.589
Alright. First song. Lock Load.
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.809
That one is featuring beanie
00:33:33.809 --> 00:33:37.859
Segal. It's a dope, dope. It was so good to hear beanie.
00:33:37.950 --> 00:33:38.819
It's a dope track.
00:33:39.390 --> 00:33:48.420
We're have beanie been yo. You didn't know that beanie was talking. Where he been like that raspy. He'd been trying to get it like that he had I think beans that he
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.299
said Did he have something wrong his throat.
00:33:51.750 --> 00:34:20.070
But he's got shot a couple years ago, he lost one of his lungs. That's why like when he's rapping he's not that growling was more like it's, it's good to hear him and hear him back outside. I don't know if it's like a going to be a completion or you're going to hear more from them. But I was when I saw that was the first lead off. I'm like, that's a good get as a matter of fact, that's kind of one of the most impressive things about this album. Like if you're a hip hop head, you know who Conway is.
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:21.929
For him to be who he is. It's a lot of it's a lot of heavy hitters on this album.
00:34:22.170 --> 00:34:38.789
Facts. I was really surprised. The second song is my favorite song on the ship called tear gas. And it's featuring Rick Ross and it's featuring new Wayne and just for future reference, because for the for the end of the year we do our verses of the year type of shit.
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:47.460
Little Wayne's verse on this song is a candidate for me for varsity yet. already put that person aside. I already put that aside is a nomination for varsity. Yeah.
00:34:47.489 --> 00:35:01.800
Wait, wait got you on the hook. We got I told you we got you on the hook. I'm like when you hear that shit. But yo, Wayne doing what Wayne does. I mean, what do you expect? He's the greatest rapper I love.
00:34:57.659 --> 00:35:05.369
Relax. I'd hit no argument. I didn't hit the ball second right saying Relax. Relax. You sure?
00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:06.480
Oh boy.
00:35:06.869 --> 00:35:10.079
I'm not prepared to say he's the best rapper on the planet like that.
00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:11.460
Is he better than Kanye?
00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:14.820
I mean, technically Oh, you
00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:16.590
better Yeah, he
00:35:16.590 --> 00:35:21.539
is. Yeah, of course he is.
00:35:16.590 --> 00:35:25.320
Let's move on. Title number three. Piano love. This one's produced by the alchemist.
00:35:26.369 --> 00:35:27.570
Alchemist is on the ship.
00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:31.619
Yeah, alchemist produced magic because he's a dude.
00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:42.329
So right off the bat. I was like, Oh, this album is gonna be diverse. Mm hmm. Then the next song is drum work. And actually got Kyla versus who's the featured on J ski.
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:46.739
I think the I think a person name is from looking at probably seven the genius.
00:35:46.829 --> 00:35:51.510
Yeah, and then J skis. Dis easier. Seven The genius but they if they spell it funny,
00:35:52.170 --> 00:35:56.250
right? I hate when it was good. cute names, man. But it's I mean, it's a wrap thing.
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:00.570
But I was dope. Isn't that a female? Genius?
00:36:01.349 --> 00:36:05.969
I think so. I'm 90% Certain Oh, as a matter of fact, hold up
00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:29.159
versus vs. vs. Dope on that. Then the fifth song is wow chapters and hip boys. Talk about your boy tip. Yo, but hit boy is producing on and yo hit boys not missing a lot.
00:36:29.730 --> 00:36:44.369
It wasn't hit boy. He's been on the run. But it's different. Because we grew up in a time where we made like producer stars hit boys. Not that hip was like our producer in this fire. Like, honestly, I didn't I don't even know what his voice sounds like.
00:36:44.789 --> 00:36:47.610
Like I don't even want it.
00:36:44.789 --> 00:36:53.130
I don't even want not doing shit with nobody else but hit boy now. Because the last couple of things I did we hit boys just classic shifts.
00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:55.889
I don't think NAS is going to unless it's DJ Premier.
00:36:55.889 --> 00:36:57.780
I don't want him to work with nobody else but headboard.
00:36:58.530 --> 00:37:30.360
I don't think he I don't think he needs to work with Premier now. No, I honestly don't like I think that, um, what knives and hit boy has right now is just something that's cooking. And if that so leave it alone. And right now like they put up some very good albums. But I mean, I don't wanna speak on knives about this one's gonna hit boy like he just he's been in a row. He's been doing it for a while. Like it was extremely good at this producing cit. And this is a good track right here. But before I play it or play a little bit of it, you want to say something about tip because I know that's your man's in him.
00:37:30.869 --> 00:37:38.429
Nah, I'm just mad that Mikey she ain't know who tip was. He thought we was talking about he know he thought we was talking about we thought we talked about
00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:40.829
some apple
00:37:42.059 --> 00:37:42.809
he saw he was talking about
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:02.969
you know what I hate about tip man on saying that, like, he might as like spend a lot of time read the dictionary big guy. Not that,
00:38:02.969 --> 00:38:07.110
you know, that's how he talks. That's his vocabulary, but you can't hate him because he talks the way he talks.
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:15.119
Like, like these big words used to be a little bit too aggressive or too slow to shut down use cat dog head rat.
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.519
Just simple shit. Like, that's not TF but you still got to weigh up there. Right
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:29.280
and that intimidates a lot of people. That's probably why a lot of people don't mention him when they talk about you know, some of the illness especially some of the illness from the South because of his vocabulary.
00:38:26.070 --> 00:38:29.280
I think that intimidates people.
00:38:29.789 --> 00:38:32.969
Yeah. extensive vocabulary. Let the man cook man.
00:38:33.150 --> 00:38:39.360
I know. I know here I did adversity, but it luda when I forget. He smoked yeah boots.
00:38:39.420 --> 00:38:41.099
Luda definitely has more hits. That's the thing.
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:46.949
Louis smokers Fuck.
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:49.920
God, he smoked it. But that's the crazy thing about Tip Tip.
00:38:46.949 --> 00:38:58.289
Like, I want to see 50 bucks like see the big in your state back. Run to the back again again to you. Let's go to kick us out. And he already told you get off the tip of his dick. So come on,
00:38:58.349 --> 00:38:59.099
on the same song he
00:38:59.099 --> 00:39:03.179
was on. Exactly like yeah, like you don't want that smokey. No better. Hi. So
00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:05.219
tip guy the problem.
00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:05.909
That's a dope song number six was guilty.
00:39:06.630 --> 00:39:08.940
I like the songs my favorite song that really? Yeah.
00:39:09.030 --> 00:39:25.079
Okay, good. I mean, it's talking about the whole shit. He went through like, you know, being shot and being shot getting Bell's Palsy and everything else like that surviving. This kid dying and everything like, yeah, it's who he is like, and it's it's concise. Two minutes and 20 seconds. It gets to the point.
00:39:25.320 --> 00:40:00.570
Like no no fast beat productions like knowledge just spit and let get us off and like, Yeah, I like this kind of way. I like it when the artist is honest about themselves. But because it we've said thing about Kanye the whole thing. him talking about his insecurities and God and so on and so forth. I think a lot of people like this is kind of the the reason why people have to pack so much. There's this this is unflinching honesty about who he is. I can't stand Bitches love business. I love my mama, a bang and big his wife. So don't believe them to say that for the purposes that he had, right?
00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:17.639
Whatever. But it's a duality But he was honest about both parts whenever someone when they get in that rat bag and people do that people love it that's why you love DMX so much because you knew when he was rapping there was no lion there was no front and what he was doing and when you know he just kind of dropped this like this confessional piece in the middle of an album like I fucks with that heavy Absolutely.
00:40:18.179 --> 00:40:23.639
The next song is the Grizelda song basically John Woo flick featuring Benny the butcher and west side
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:39.449
I think I may like it but like just just play it and the whole thing is that they the three dudes from Buffalo like people forget that buffalo in New York like like not part of like, Buffalo nobody reps buffalo just the bills
00:40:41.369 --> 00:40:42.239
I'm sorry to hear
00:40:43.619 --> 00:41:16.739
that can hurt me I felt like he was talking to me know when the thing about these cats is to how old is these cats? Are they in the 20s? Are they in the 30s late because they have an old soul? They don't rap like none of the dudes from today you know I'm saying they still remind me of 90 dudes.
00:41:17.429 --> 00:41:19.889
I think the fact when you go through it like a hard life
00:41:21.510 --> 00:41:23.820
they're not mumbling they're not talking stupid shit.
00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:27.030
You know? I mean, they talk about like they it's boom bap shit.
00:41:27.750 --> 00:41:39.989
So Conway is 40 Binney is 37 lives so they're not he they are age. Right. And Westside is 3937 39 era they grew up listening to the show.
00:41:38.340 --> 00:41:49.469
We listened. We grew up listening. Yes, yeah. And it but but the difference is that it had and still influences what they are now and they can do it for this generation.
00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:53.789
Plus they relatively new in the game too. You know, I'm saying they came out kinda kind of late.
