00:00:02.068 --> 00:00:02.670
yo yo yo.

00:00:02.670 --> 00:00:04.759
Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the culture.

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:06.203
It's been a little minute.

00:00:06.203 --> 00:00:11.224
It's been probably what like a month, since we we done dropped something.

00:00:11.224 --> 00:00:12.246
The fuck are you doing?

00:00:12.246 --> 00:00:16.352
The y, the d, the I, the d.

00:00:16.352 --> 00:00:21.608
It's diddy, no diddy.

00:00:21.608 --> 00:00:25.042
No doubt we ain't talking about diddy today, though I know, shout out to the culture crew man staying loyal to us and being patient.

00:00:25.042 --> 00:00:25.522
You know we've had some.

00:00:25.522 --> 00:00:25.882
No Diddy, no Diddy.

00:00:25.882 --> 00:00:29.108
No doubt we ain't talking about Diddy today, though I know, shout out to the Culture Crew man staying loyal to us and being patient.

00:00:29.108 --> 00:00:33.534
You know we've had some things going on in our personal lives that prevented us from recording, but we're back.

00:00:38.904 --> 00:00:42.479
We're going to try to flood y'all with some content for the next few weeks.

00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.606
Check out the website thecultureone, and real quick, yo.

00:00:45.606 --> 00:00:52.972
I know a lot of people don't like to read these days, but for those of you who do, we got a blog on the website thecultureone.

00:00:52.972 --> 00:00:54.604
You know there's some content on there.

00:00:54.604 --> 00:00:55.966
There's some good articles that y'all can read.

00:00:55.966 --> 00:01:02.222
Again, for those that like to read, I don't know that many people that do like to read this generation doesn't fucking read anymore.

00:01:02.823 --> 00:01:07.207
That's not a ringing endorsement, it's for y'all that like to read or can't read.

00:01:07.787 --> 00:01:12.754
It's for the ones that like to read, because the ones that don't are just going to ignore that that public service announcement.

00:01:12.754 --> 00:01:13.254
You know what I mean?

00:01:13.254 --> 00:01:14.055
No, because I have this argument.

00:01:14.055 --> 00:01:14.796
It's called action.

00:01:15.055 --> 00:01:16.763
It's not that I have this argument with your sister.

00:01:16.763 --> 00:01:23.212
She likes to read, right, and I too, but I tell her, I've never, ever once in my entire life owned an ebook.

00:01:23.212 --> 00:01:25.953
I can't listen to a book, I have to read it.

00:01:26.435 --> 00:01:41.346
A lot of people I know don't read books, they just listen to them, that's it and they tell me to do that, and I'm like I don't feel right listening to it, because I, you know, like you're not going to learn the words, you're not going to expand your vocabulary by listening to somebody else pronounce words for you, like you have to look at it.

00:01:41.746 --> 00:01:58.852
I don't know, that's how I feel, like I gotta look at the words, see how it's spelled, see what kind of context is being used but maybe that's the idea in the path that you're missing that some of the things that you write, you should just do an audio file of it and just like do it that way lazy motherfuckers it might make it easy for us.

00:01:58.871 --> 00:02:00.621
So sometimes you want to hear it, and so on, so forth.

00:02:00.621 --> 00:02:07.394
It's like when someone's like, it's like when you're reading a horoscope and then someone's telling it to you like, yeah, this shit easier, dog it hits different?

00:02:07.941 --> 00:02:08.569
Yeah, like yo.

00:02:08.569 --> 00:02:12.927
So what's happening with my sun, moon rising, my G, like I ain't got to read through the shit, it just tells me.

00:02:12.927 --> 00:02:15.486
So that might be an opportunity for you.

00:02:15.486 --> 00:02:28.949
Like, sometimes, if it comes to your mind, like maybe just take your phone, say it and then like play it back, like, eh, I can type this out or I can just send it off like that, let people listen to it, never know alright, man.

00:02:28.990 --> 00:02:30.319
We're in April 2024.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.848
A lot of things has happened since the last time we came on.

00:02:32.848 --> 00:02:34.407
Cody finished his story.

00:02:34.407 --> 00:02:41.000
Shout out to the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes I'm wearing his daddy's t-shirt.

00:02:42.344 --> 00:02:46.487
The American Dream, daddy that's still not the greatest WrestleMania ever, though.

00:02:47.110 --> 00:02:47.591
Probably not.

00:02:47.591 --> 00:02:50.567
It's the best one in a long time.

00:02:52.181 --> 00:02:53.227
I wanted him to lose though.

00:02:55.241 --> 00:02:56.225
Because you like them, villains.

00:02:56.781 --> 00:02:58.487
No, I wanted him to lose and get it on Raw.

00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.664
You like the villain to win.

00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:01.919
No, I do like the villain to win.

00:03:03.243 --> 00:03:06.171
It's like 50 Cent said I watch Gangsta Flicks and root for the bad guy.

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.546
Turn it all in because the bad guy died.

00:03:08.546 --> 00:03:25.588
Bad guy died but I'd rather him won in that Raw Because I really want to piss those Philly fans off, because WrestleMania is for the casuals, the Raw after WrestleMania is for the hardcore fans.

00:03:25.588 --> 00:03:33.944
Those are the ones that come week to week, watch all the programming, go see like the road shows, the house shows, stuff like that.

00:03:33.944 --> 00:03:38.822
Those are the ones that deserve to have that moment, not that big ass stadium.

00:03:38.822 --> 00:03:56.770
And the problem is that because it's in a stadium, actually two people I know went to it and they said the way it is on TV it failed in comparison to how it sounded when those lights cut off and Tigger came on as loud as it sounded like that.

00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:58.883
They said it was worse, like you couldn't even hear.

00:03:58.883 --> 00:03:59.948
It was deafening.

00:03:59.948 --> 00:04:04.489
They said those lights cut out, they heard that gong and everyone just screamed at the top of their voice.

00:04:04.489 --> 00:04:08.325
You couldn't hear nothing.

00:04:08.325 --> 00:04:09.236
But the TV didn't get it ass through.

00:04:09.257 --> 00:04:15.509
But Monday I guess it was at Wells Fargo, I'm guessing smaller place, hardcore fans.

00:04:15.509 --> 00:04:21.107
I'd rather him capture the belt there in front of everybody and kind of go full with that.

00:04:21.107 --> 00:04:22.382
But was it good?

00:04:22.382 --> 00:04:28.247
I think every match night two was superior to night one.

00:04:28.247 --> 00:04:30.521
There's no doubt about it.

00:04:30.521 --> 00:04:42.509
But he got to finish the story and, with all the shit going on with them and Vince and his fuck shit, like y'all gotta go down a different path and I'm glad that it's this.

00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:50.802
There's only one thing I don't like about Cody you ever seen a cable guy?

00:04:51.586 --> 00:04:52.785
Yes, plenty of time.

00:04:53.281 --> 00:04:56.129
You know how he kind of like twerks like this.

00:04:56.129 --> 00:04:58.819
Cody does that and it irritates me.

00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.567
I know, but it's like.

00:05:01.588 --> 00:05:05.951
His mouth is always like funny because there's certain words he can't say.

00:05:05.951 --> 00:05:08.970
When he was talking to the Rock and the Rock said I'm going to come back and I'm going to come see you.

00:05:08.970 --> 00:05:12.629
And he told the Rock I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward.

00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:14.863
He couldn't even say the word I'm looking forward to it.

00:05:14.863 --> 00:05:18.365
But his dad spoke the same way.

00:05:19.569 --> 00:05:23.903
Right, but he was this big husky country southern dude.

00:05:23.903 --> 00:05:25.786
But he was this big husky country southern dude.

00:05:25.786 --> 00:05:27.286
Everything he's trying to have has some sauce on it.

00:05:27.286 --> 00:05:28.168
It didn't make a difference.

00:05:28.168 --> 00:05:30.790
Cody's trying to be professional, which is good.

00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:32.651
It fits what they're trying to do.

00:05:33.653 --> 00:05:41.084
Now I just want to see if he's going to carry the crown, because I know what you're saying about bad guys.

00:05:41.084 --> 00:05:50.367
But what Roman and him have been doing for the past two years, three years, is trade magnate fee, that storyline, the bloodline, everything that's went along with it, that title reign.

00:05:50.367 --> 00:05:54.488
Of course he wasn't going to break Sam Martinez or Hogan's.

00:05:54.488 --> 00:05:55.271
That's impossible.

00:05:55.271 --> 00:05:59.146
That's a different style of wrestling and no one wants to wrestle that long.

00:05:59.146 --> 00:06:05.206
No, but to have that storyline carry pretty much professional wrestling for the past three years, and now it's over.

00:06:05.206 --> 00:06:07.764
And I don't think it's over, it's just going to go a different route.

00:06:07.826 --> 00:06:19.459
But kudos to everybody across the board Rock, roman, cody, triple H, seth, seth gave his body.

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:23.565
Once Seth is here, I'll be like yo, cody, we gotta run that fair one.

00:06:23.565 --> 00:06:26.908
I'd have had your back for two months, bro.

00:06:26.908 --> 00:06:27.610
I've been beat up.

00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:32.363
You need to tie it immediately, son, asap, like we ain't doing no tournament.

00:06:32.363 --> 00:06:33.206
You give me a shot.

00:06:33.206 --> 00:06:34.127
I had your back.

00:06:34.127 --> 00:06:35.430
You owe me one.

00:06:35.430 --> 00:06:36.151
Here's my one.

00:06:36.151 --> 00:06:37.134
I'm cashing this in right now.

00:06:37.134 --> 00:06:39.302
That was a great cashing by Damian Pierce.

00:06:40.242 --> 00:06:42.024
Damian Priest, they mean priest, priest, priest.

00:06:42.024 --> 00:06:43.324
I said Pierce.

00:06:43.444 --> 00:06:43.985
On the interland.

00:06:43.985 --> 00:06:46.687
He's been dubbed the bisexual undertaker and he's running with that too.

00:06:46.687 --> 00:06:48.209
He sees the comments and he's like.

00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:48.850
You know what I mean.

00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:50.192
He's embracing that shit.

00:06:50.791 --> 00:06:52.093
Hey look man, is he bisexual?

00:06:52.774 --> 00:06:53.675
I don't know, I think he is, though.

00:06:54.334 --> 00:06:54.596
Why?

00:06:54.596 --> 00:06:56.096
Because we're making him dress up like that.

00:06:56.096 --> 00:07:02.470
That mean you're bisexual, just kind of?

00:07:02.490 --> 00:07:02.891
does he differ?

00:07:02.911 --> 00:07:06.677
I'm not saying that offensively it just sounds that way when you say it.

00:07:06.677 --> 00:07:13.762
I've learned not to call no man fruity or gay or anything else like that what about Diddy?

00:07:13.762 --> 00:07:16.404
You call Diddy fruity no, he's just the diddler.

00:07:16.404 --> 00:07:24.180
I don't even know what's going on with that the diddler diddle me this, like bruh, get the fuck with me.

00:07:24.201 --> 00:07:26.584
Sean Sean, move it, but that's the whole.

00:07:26.584 --> 00:07:28.586
Like, diddle me this, like bruh, get the fuck with me.

00:07:28.586 --> 00:07:29.586
Sean Sean, move it, but that's the whole.

00:07:29.586 --> 00:07:33.069
But with that situation right there, I don't really want to call nobody gay unless they are.

00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:40.036
I don't want to call anybody bisexual unless they are, because people like to say that shit and they think that the associative was that you know, as a perfect person's gay means they soft.

00:07:40.036 --> 00:07:42.083
Like nah, you got to remember you.

00:07:42.083 --> 00:07:44.973
Like nah, you gotta remember you're calling a grown man gay and that grown man still beat the shit out of you.

00:07:44.973 --> 00:07:48.903
Like, just cause they're gay, don't mean that all of a sudden they don't know how to fight.

00:07:48.903 --> 00:07:54.564
Matter of fact, if you're gay, you probably gotta fight more than most regular dudes have to cause someone all trying to test you because you gay.

00:07:54.564 --> 00:08:01.884
Therefore, nah, I don't know if he is inflexible and Damien Priest is like 6 foot 4 and 255 pounds.

00:08:01.884 --> 00:08:05.153
You're not the kind of dude you want to check some bullshit like that out your mouth.

00:08:05.153 --> 00:08:06.283
I wouldn't want to do that.

00:08:06.283 --> 00:08:08.728
But hey, mr Priest, nice to meet you.

00:08:08.728 --> 00:08:10.091
Boss, I want an autograph.

00:08:10.091 --> 00:08:11.464
Say congratulations on your win.

00:08:12.083 --> 00:08:15.649
And they had the whole Vignette's behind stage.

00:08:15.649 --> 00:08:17.642
He's talking to the press.

00:08:17.642 --> 00:08:21.872
Triple H hugs him, rock hugs him, taker hugs him.

00:08:21.872 --> 00:08:24.375
They all appreciate what he did.

00:08:24.375 --> 00:08:26.016
They think the world of God, they think he's good.

00:08:26.016 --> 00:08:29.406
Wasn't he like a security guard for them before?

00:08:30.733 --> 00:08:31.154
I think so.

00:08:31.942 --> 00:08:33.187
I swore it was like a first match.

00:08:33.187 --> 00:08:36.743
A long time ago he was one of the black shirt security dudes.

00:08:36.743 --> 00:08:38.802
Now he's a champ.

00:08:38.802 --> 00:08:39.445
He can't beat that.

00:08:39.445 --> 00:08:39.807
That's right.

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:44.663
Alright, man, let's move on to some more serious topics, because we did lose.

00:08:44.663 --> 00:08:55.461
We did lose two legendary, uh, figures, men, characters in the past year, in the past week rather, and I said legendary.

00:08:55.461 --> 00:09:04.548
Both of them are legendary, but for different reasons, and I'm gonna start off with the first one, and I'm talking about dj mr c, who suddenly passed away, radio DJ, out of Brooklyn.

00:09:04.548 --> 00:09:08.874
Our condolences to the family.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:16.102
I remember him from High 97, and recently he was on.

00:09:16.123 --> 00:09:16.663
The Block 94.7.

00:09:16.663 --> 00:09:20.532
The question I'm going to ask about Mr C is what is he going to be remembered for?

00:09:20.532 --> 00:09:21.453
What is his legacy?

00:09:21.453 --> 00:09:39.431
Is he going to be remembered for discovering Biggie, or is he going, gonna and I'm you know this is gonna sound fucked up, and again I don't mean no disrespect or is he gonna be known for that dj that got fired from hot 97 for solid because of, you know, getting caught soliciting transgender prostitutes on multiple occasions?

00:09:39.431 --> 00:09:44.248
You know, I'm saying it's a big thing.

00:09:44.248 --> 00:09:46.413
Does that tarnish his legacy in any way?

00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:50.826
No, no, no Because you don't have the story of Big without Mr C.

00:09:50.826 --> 00:10:16.303
Right, like Big, everything that you have about his history, everything about his life, everything regarding his career, mr C is such an integral part of it you can't be like no, they can't leave that part out, Because you don't have that without him, without that time he was a good DJ too.

00:10:16.464 --> 00:10:19.826
Aside from all the other ones, he was a good DJ, but he always played Biggie stuff.

00:10:19.826 --> 00:10:30.067
He always made sure to rep Biggie at the clubs, at the party, on the station you was always going to get a little Biggie medley, you know what I'm saying or he was going to introduce a new Biggie song.

00:10:30.067 --> 00:10:37.831
And for the longest time I always confused Mr C with Lil' C's how Junior Mafia.

00:10:37.831 --> 00:10:40.701
I don't know why, especially back in the day.

00:10:40.701 --> 00:10:43.966
You know, we didn't really have internet or nothing and I, you know, I didn't really.

00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:51.207
You didn't see a lot of pictures of either one, but they were always getting shouted out by biggie right on interviews and songs.

00:10:51.207 --> 00:10:55.000
He would always shout out little c's or mr c, and the names sound similar.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.046
So I always confused the two.

00:10:57.046 --> 00:10:58.068
I'm like which one is which?

00:10:58.068 --> 00:10:59.941
So little c's was from the junior mafia.

00:10:59.941 --> 00:11:06.437
That was his best friend and mr c was the dj that discovered him yes, two different.

00:11:06.758 --> 00:11:08.744
So c discovered big big discover.

00:11:08.744 --> 00:11:10.067
C's right.

00:11:10.067 --> 00:11:13.379
Right, I can see I could be a little bit of confusing through line.

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:23.068
Um, I think that the transgender, uh, the transsexual thing is one of the overblown things in hip-hop.

00:11:23.068 --> 00:11:27.307
Like we just get way too interested and excited talking about who the fuck?

00:11:27.307 --> 00:11:30.523
Somebody fucking Like I don't, I'm one of the people who just doesn't care.

00:11:30.523 --> 00:11:34.192
But I don't, it just always becomes a thing and I was always like.

00:11:34.192 --> 00:11:45.434
So Mr C likes transgender prostitutes, I, I don't care, like I don't care, I didn't really think about it, I just didn't.

00:11:45.434 --> 00:11:48.667
So the man like prostitutes it's a lot of people out here that like prostitutes.

00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:53.166
Man like transgender prostitutes it's a lot of people out here that probably like that too.

00:11:53.166 --> 00:11:54.284
But just don't say anything about it.

00:11:55.019 --> 00:12:01.063
He's having me a DJ on one of the highest rated stations in New York City, which makes me one of the highest rated radio stations in the world.

00:12:01.063 --> 00:12:02.647
So they know that.

00:12:02.647 --> 00:12:04.571
Everybody knows that Everyone makes a joke about it.

00:12:04.571 --> 00:12:06.053
He just didn't care.

00:12:06.053 --> 00:12:09.529
He always seemed like a really good DJ.

00:12:09.529 --> 00:12:12.768
He was the finisher, mr C.

00:12:12.768 --> 00:12:16.009
He always had that midday mix.

00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:17.785
He always was good at jazz.

00:12:17.785 --> 00:12:24.489
He was always professional, always really, really, really a great radio presence.

00:12:24.489 --> 00:12:35.005
I'm not saying he's integral to Hot 97, but he's integral to Hot 97 at that time Because, like I said, that morning show kept shifting.

00:12:35.005 --> 00:12:37.884
Was 11 of them there?

00:12:37.884 --> 00:12:40.284
Yeah, they was there for a while.

00:12:40.284 --> 00:12:43.304
Star and Buck Wilde was there for a while.

00:12:43.304 --> 00:12:48.769
They kept changing, but those DJs they stayed consistent yeah.

00:12:48.870 --> 00:12:53.065
Angie was there, but he was always the consistent one and he always had something good in him.

00:12:53.065 --> 00:12:59.306
And you know, the midday mix was kind of hard to hear At noon.

00:12:59.306 --> 00:13:02.062
Yeah, I'm at fourth period Mix at noon.

00:13:02.062 --> 00:13:04.089
I can't listen to this right now, but as you got older, you take a like.

00:13:04.089 --> 00:13:05.192
I'm at fourth period Mix that dude.

00:13:05.192 --> 00:13:05.914
Yeah, this is it now, but like.

00:13:05.914 --> 00:13:10.248
But as you got older, like you know, you take a lunch break around, then you listen to radio.

00:13:10.248 --> 00:13:10.850
You put that on.

00:13:10.850 --> 00:13:11.511
It's so wonderful.

00:13:11.511 --> 00:13:17.104
He was not like a a mixtape guy or I didn't, I didn't record.

00:13:17.144 --> 00:13:17.725
He wasn't.

00:13:17.764 --> 00:13:18.466
Clue.

00:13:18.466 --> 00:13:23.471
He wasn't one of the people where, like I need to record this or watch that.

00:13:23.471 --> 00:13:25.952
It was, like you know, when you had him on, you had a good time.

00:13:25.952 --> 00:13:29.277
So you know, rest in peace to Mr C, absolutely.

00:13:30.642 --> 00:13:42.352
Yep, and the other death that took place precisely this week, a couple of days ago actually, I'm talking about OJ Orenthal James Simpson.

00:13:45.208 --> 00:13:46.976
Yeah, the guy who looks eerily like my father.

00:13:46.976 --> 00:14:02.269
It was a polarizing figure and, you know, in the wake of of his death, I want to remember the the trial, right, the oj simpson trial, because you know, that trial exposed america's racial divide and it's 30 years later, it's almost to the day, 30 years later.

00:14:02.269 --> 00:14:05.876
Has anything changed, right?

00:14:05.876 --> 00:14:07.140
Has anything really changed?

00:14:07.140 --> 00:14:38.597
And I compare this to 9-11 and not because, you know, I'm not saying one was more tragic than the other, I'm just saying there's two memorable, historic and polarizing and sad events that transpired in American history that you remember, like you know exactly where you were at the time, right, like I could tell you exactly what was happening during 9-11, I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing and what was happening during the oj trial.

00:14:38.618 --> 00:14:51.965
It was 1994, it was may of 94 and I was 10 years old, and the only reason I remember precisely the dates is because the New York Knicks were in the NBA Finals against the Houston Rockets, right?

00:14:51.965 --> 00:14:54.750
So I'm watching, I'm 10 years old and I'm watching the NBA Finals.

00:14:54.750 --> 00:15:00.196
I'm watching Patrick Ewing having one of the best performances of his entire career and then they cut it off.

00:15:00.196 --> 00:15:11.561
They cut off the telecast to show us the high-speed chase between OJ and the white Bronco and the police Right, and it wasn't even really a high-speed chase between oj and the white bronco and the police right, and it wasn't even really a high-speed chase.

00:15:11.581 --> 00:15:13.025
High speed is a stretch yeah, it was.

00:15:13.046 --> 00:15:13.508
It was just a chase.

00:15:13.508 --> 00:15:20.322
They were just following him, a moderately paced follow right, like we're not breaking the speed limit at all right.

00:15:20.623 --> 00:15:22.813
Right, it was oj.

00:15:22.813 --> 00:15:23.796
He was getting away with shit.

00:15:23.796 --> 00:15:24.456
Was oj right?

00:15:24.456 --> 00:15:27.971
They wasn't throwing down no spikes on the ground.

00:15:27.971 --> 00:15:28.784
It wasn't trying to, you know, run him off the of the.

00:15:28.784 --> 00:15:29.224
They wasn't throwing down or spikes on the ground.

00:15:29.224 --> 00:15:30.725
They wasn't trying to run him off the road.

00:15:30.725 --> 00:15:31.730
They wasn't shooting at him.

00:15:31.730 --> 00:15:32.895
It was OJ.

00:15:32.895 --> 00:15:35.918
They was just following him, trying to figure out where he was going.

00:15:35.918 --> 00:15:38.956
Mr OJ, we need to have a word with you.

00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:41.558
He going to the crib, he going home?

00:15:41.558 --> 00:15:43.596
What the fuck man?

00:15:43.596 --> 00:15:45.932
The thing that I remember about that is that those people were quick.

00:15:45.932 --> 00:15:47.389
The thing that I remember about that is that those people were quick.

00:15:47.389 --> 00:15:52.071
Those people got in them bridges with run OJ, run in minutes boy.

00:15:52.071 --> 00:15:54.032
Oh he on the freeway, oh we're going.

00:15:54.032 --> 00:16:01.317
They got their marker like scribble that shit up right on the freeway, hold them signs, run the juice is loose, run OJ.

00:16:01.650 --> 00:16:19.600
I mean I'm hesitant to say rest in peace, right, because everything that's transpired if anything you know, rest in peace to the, to nicole, and no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're gonna do that all right.

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:20.604
Even in, even in death, people deserve dignity.

00:16:20.604 --> 00:16:24.333
Just saying rest in peace, because whatever pertained and followed before, this doesn't matter.

00:16:24.333 --> 00:16:26.958
You're gone now that's At this point.

00:16:26.958 --> 00:16:32.013
I hope you have peace from this point forward, wherever you may end up.

00:16:32.434 --> 00:16:37.048
A lot of people want to know if he confessed on his deathbed Shit.

00:16:37.067 --> 00:16:38.091
I ain't telling y'all nigga shit.

00:16:38.111 --> 00:16:39.256
Ain't nobody confessing shit.

00:16:39.649 --> 00:16:40.591
I ain't telling you shit when I'm alive.

00:16:40.591 --> 00:16:46.475
I'm telling you, when I'm dead, confess what, but why?

00:16:46.475 --> 00:16:47.216
You confess some shit.

00:16:47.216 --> 00:16:47.678
We already know.

00:16:50.750 --> 00:16:52.855
There was what, but I can confess some shit we already know there was a lawyer or something.

00:16:52.855 --> 00:17:08.434
I recently read that he said that he believes oj didn't physically do it himself but he was there, right like he either hired the person that did it they they mentioned some, it was some, some killer, some serial killer guy that had murdered a bunch of people before and they saying that you know, I guess he was cool with him or he knew him, or whatever he hired him.

00:17:08.434 --> 00:17:11.663
Whatever the case he had, he was there with him.

00:17:11.663 --> 00:17:16.682
And then oj got scared or you know there was a scuffle and oj cut his hand or something.

00:17:16.682 --> 00:17:17.832
So he ran out the door.

00:17:17.832 --> 00:17:18.914
He was like fuck this, I'm out.

00:17:19.537 --> 00:17:23.353
So he ain't actually stayed long enough to witness the actual murder.

00:17:23.353 --> 00:17:26.278
So in his mind oj believed that he didn't do it.

00:17:26.278 --> 00:17:26.939
Because he't do it?

00:17:26.939 --> 00:17:35.657
Because he was there at the beginning and then bailed and he wasn't physically there when the shit actually happened, so he ain't see the rest of the shit that transpired.

00:17:35.657 --> 00:17:42.914
So he technically and physically didn't do it himself, but he had a hand in it and I believe that.

00:17:43.810 --> 00:17:44.694
OJ killed them people.

00:17:44.694 --> 00:17:45.257
Let that shit go.

00:17:45.257 --> 00:17:46.811
I don't give a fuck what nobody talking about.

00:17:47.172 --> 00:17:48.693
I was going to ask you, so he did it.

00:17:48.693 --> 00:17:49.474
Did he do it or not?

00:17:49.796 --> 00:17:51.637
Hell yeah, we know OJ did that shit.

00:17:51.637 --> 00:17:55.303
We let that shit cook because the legal system is fucked against black people.

00:17:55.303 --> 00:17:58.210
We know OJ murdered people man, fuck all that.

00:17:58.230 --> 00:18:01.211
One of the reasons and that's why I posed the question has anything changed?

00:18:01.211 --> 00:18:04.634
30 has anything changed?

00:18:04.634 --> 00:18:10.939
Because we saw when the trial was going on it was a lengthy fucking trial and the news stations had the split screen Right.

00:18:10.939 --> 00:18:31.595
They had the split screens with the whites on one side waiting for the verdict and then they had the blacks on the other side waiting for the verdict and it was a complete contrast when the verdict was announced of not guilty, when they said not guilty, you see the white side all fucking distraught, crying, pissed off, and you see the side with all the black folks happy as hell.

00:18:31.595 --> 00:18:40.365
Right, and it wasn't even because they believed that he didn't do it or whatever, or, like you said, the injustices, but it was.

00:18:40.365 --> 00:18:48.683
If you remember, the rodney king shit had just happened not too long before that, where the four policemen fucked up rodney king and then got off.

00:18:49.410 --> 00:18:52.380
It's four people beating a man with a knife stick talking about he resists arrest.

00:18:53.270 --> 00:19:03.538
They fucked him up to within an inch of his life and then they had the cops on trial, all white of course, and they were all found not guilty, right.

00:19:03.538 --> 00:19:09.602
So the African-American community was up in arms, uproar, outraged.

00:19:09.602 --> 00:19:13.400
So I felt like, in a way, this OJ shit was like a payback.

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:14.142
Do you agree with that?

00:19:14.142 --> 00:19:15.652
This is how they felt.

00:19:15.652 --> 00:19:16.835
Like yo, this is just payback.

00:19:16.835 --> 00:19:29.000
Not that we condone what he did, not that we're saying he's innocent or not, but this is just a win against the police Because, also, remember, there was some racistass cops in the whole OJ shit.

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.018
Remember that shit, there was a cop using the N-word and shit like that.

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.778
Yeah, furman Furman, racist motherfucker, Is he saying some wild shit?

00:19:37.778 --> 00:19:42.321
Look, I always tell people ain't no fun, when the rabbit got the gun, it just ain't.

00:19:42.321 --> 00:19:47.078
You can go rabbit hunting all day, get that rabbit shotgun According to the dog pound.

00:19:47.098 --> 00:19:48.520
ain't no fun if my homies can't have none.

00:19:48.761 --> 00:19:49.743
Yeah, that's the story.

00:19:49.743 --> 00:19:57.998
We need to have a whole part about how the shit we used to listen to was just wild, like that's a whole story about running a train Like dog.

00:19:59.020 --> 00:20:07.655
But anyway, this was a victory for the African-American community against the legal system, the judicial system, the police.

00:20:07.655 --> 00:20:10.801
Brutality that was going on and still goes on today.

00:20:10.801 --> 00:20:12.104
You know what I mean.

00:20:12.104 --> 00:20:14.951
It's made it catch on more the racist.

00:20:14.951 --> 00:20:20.480
You know racism that was going on and still going on.

00:20:20.721 --> 00:20:21.321
It changed a lot.

00:20:21.321 --> 00:20:22.363
It changed television.

00:20:22.363 --> 00:20:25.698
Yes, 95 million people watched that slow ride.

00:20:25.698 --> 00:20:27.097
That's as many people that's watched the Super Bowl.

00:20:27.097 --> 00:20:28.489
Yes, that literally created many people that's watched the Super Bowl.

00:20:28.489 --> 00:20:31.698
Yes, that literally created almost like reality.

00:20:31.979 --> 00:20:32.400
TV shows.

00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.457
That was the beginning of reality TV.

00:20:34.576 --> 00:20:36.777
Yeah, and it's in a courtroom every day.

00:20:36.777 --> 00:20:43.398
You have no idea what they're talking about, but you would come home and watch them talk about legal jargon, all sorts of other kinds of stuff.

00:20:43.398 --> 00:20:47.505
This lawyer, that lawyer, judge Ito, no, clark Dar.

00:20:47.505 --> 00:20:50.307
This lawyer, that lawyer, judge Edo Clark Darvin all these people, people you never heard of.

00:20:50.307 --> 00:20:56.046
Now they become brand names, home names and they're lawyers shit.

00:20:56.046 --> 00:21:01.814
Honestly, that was the rise of the Kardashians.

00:21:01.814 --> 00:21:04.933
That's the first time I've ever heard of they pops Facts.

00:21:04.933 --> 00:21:08.454
Unless you were in LA, you didn't really know the Kardashians like that.

00:21:08.484 --> 00:21:10.451
30 years later, they're still getting asked about this.

00:21:10.652 --> 00:21:11.295
From that.

00:21:11.295 --> 00:21:16.476
We still want it if Khloe OJ Kid Facts.

00:21:16.476 --> 00:21:18.590
Even if the DNA test said no.

00:21:19.988 --> 00:21:37.534
There was a soap opera actor who recently called into the Michael Kay show because they were talking about this topic and he said that during that time his coworkers told him this is going to be the end of us, because they were switching off of the soap operas to show the OJ stuff, right, whether it was the trial or the cars or the car chase.

00:21:37.534 --> 00:21:41.835
And you know, the 80s and early 90s there was a lot of soap operas.

00:21:41.835 --> 00:21:44.713
There was like 10, 15, 18 soap operas on TV.

00:21:44.713 --> 00:21:46.809
Now there's only like what?

00:21:46.809 --> 00:21:51.472
Two or three, you know I remember, like General Hospital and Days of Our Lives and shit like that.

00:21:52.013 --> 00:21:52.535
The main one.

00:21:52.955 --> 00:21:55.378
The Classes of the Lair Right, but that's only like two or three of them.

00:21:55.823 --> 00:21:55.944
Right.

00:21:56.384 --> 00:22:00.813
There was a whole bunch of them back then, but now people are gravitating more towards the reality.

00:22:00.813 --> 00:22:08.430
Tv, right, you go around, follow the cameras are following people's lives and they sit down in front of it and they interview them.

00:22:08.430 --> 00:22:10.618
You know it's dumb shit, but that's what people are gravitating to.

00:22:10.618 --> 00:22:11.085
You know what I mean.

00:22:11.085 --> 00:22:12.676
It's reality-based.

00:22:12.676 --> 00:22:16.133
It's still bullshit and it's scripted and fake, but it's reality-based.

00:22:16.133 --> 00:22:18.428
It's quick dosages of shit.

00:22:18.428 --> 00:22:18.929
You know what I mean?

00:22:18.929 --> 00:22:19.970
Microwave era shit.

00:22:19.970 --> 00:22:24.637
Quick 20 30 minute episodes, you get your fix it's so popular with cheaper actors.

00:22:25.118 --> 00:22:26.125
Right, it's still scripted.

00:22:26.125 --> 00:22:28.112
We know how this is gonna end we know how right, but.

00:22:28.252 --> 00:22:33.078
But it makes you feel like you're seeing your, your, you know, a glimpse of somebody's real life.

00:22:33.078 --> 00:22:34.041
Right, correct?

00:22:34.483 --> 00:22:37.694
but it's not that, but that wasn't, but that's the whole thing.

00:22:37.694 --> 00:22:42.148
But that's the courtroom wasn't scripted like he's on trial for his life.

00:22:42.148 --> 00:22:45.457
These weren weren't actors, they were real professional lawyers.

00:22:45.457 --> 00:22:52.387
But the way they framed it, filmed it, cut it, it made it seem like it's more action packed than it.

00:22:52.387 --> 00:22:54.469
Is you ever been on jury duty?

00:22:55.231 --> 00:22:55.452
Yes.

00:22:56.025 --> 00:23:00.790
It's boring as fuck and it's not like you see on TV, it's dull as shit.

00:23:00.790 --> 00:23:04.006
They made that exciting for no good reason.

00:23:04.006 --> 00:23:04.566
Talk about legal terms.

00:23:04.566 --> 00:23:05.468
They made that exciting for no good reason.

00:23:05.468 --> 00:23:07.490
Talking about legal terms, they're bringing out the glove.

00:23:07.490 --> 00:23:23.417
They're talking about the blood marks, like okay, another influence trial that the OJ trial had on today's society period, we had zero fucking understanding or reasoning or idea of what DNA evidence is.

00:23:23.417 --> 00:23:24.424
Now everybody thinks everything involves DNA.

00:23:24.424 --> 00:23:25.694
The man got his car stolen Y' everything involves DNA.

00:23:25.694 --> 00:23:26.635
The man got his car stolen Y'all got DNA.

00:23:26.635 --> 00:23:28.568
The woman got her purse stolen Y'all get DNA.

00:23:28.568 --> 00:23:30.548
It doesn't work that way, goddammit.

00:23:30.548 --> 00:23:32.627
Dna is not a thing like that.

00:23:32.627 --> 00:23:34.086
We just like oh, we pop it on and off.

00:23:34.086 --> 00:23:34.648
We know who's killing it.

00:23:34.669 --> 00:23:35.633
Well, look at them fingerprints.

00:23:35.633 --> 00:23:38.347
You better go through that car and find a strand of hair.

00:23:38.750 --> 00:23:45.528
They introduced that Now, this, that now it's just going wild.

00:23:45.528 --> 00:23:46.050
Somebody steal your car.

00:23:46.050 --> 00:23:47.194
You asking did y'all check the car for fibers?

00:23:47.194 --> 00:23:48.097
Is there any other hair there besides mine?

00:23:48.097 --> 00:23:49.482
No, you don't got that kind of testing.

00:23:49.482 --> 00:23:51.368
But that brought that to the forefront.

00:23:51.368 --> 00:24:00.510
Where it's the thing now, where everything is now dna based, and it brought out the idea of, like, who are our heroes?

00:24:00.510 --> 00:24:05.400
Oj was a hero to a lot of people Right Before that shit happened.

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.648
He's one of the first black like sports.

00:24:07.669 --> 00:24:08.832
It was transcending.

00:24:08.832 --> 00:24:10.013
You know he crossed over.

00:24:10.013 --> 00:24:10.816
You know what I'm saying.

00:24:11.076 --> 00:24:11.877
The Hertz guy.

00:24:13.046 --> 00:24:19.891
Good looking African-American athlete, beloved by everybody, blacks and whites, clean cut guy, you know, could do no wrong actor.

00:24:19.891 --> 00:24:21.728
And then this shit happens actor.

00:24:21.728 --> 00:24:22.414
And then this shit happens.

00:24:22.414 --> 00:24:29.510
And then he puts together the fucking Avengers of lawyer squads, right With the Kardashian, with Shapiro, with Johnny Cochran.

00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:31.930
And what was the Jewish dude?

00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:33.204
There was one more Jewish dude.

00:24:33.204 --> 00:24:35.607
I think he's the only one that's still alive Alan Dershowitz.

00:24:35.607 --> 00:24:38.912
He's the only one alive, still right, everybody else died of that motherfucker.

00:24:38.912 --> 00:24:41.954
I might go broke, but I ain't going to jail, trust me.

00:24:41.954 --> 00:24:51.932
And it was strategic what Cochran was doing, because he made sure that, first of all, he made sure that the majority of the jurors were black.

00:24:51.932 --> 00:24:54.710
Right, there was only two white jurors.

00:24:56.153 --> 00:24:56.515
Only two.

00:24:56.515 --> 00:24:58.269
He knew how to weigh the scale.

00:24:58.744 --> 00:25:00.030
And those were the only two jurors.

00:25:00.030 --> 00:25:02.855
The two white ones were the only two that kept saying he's guilty.

00:25:02.855 --> 00:25:07.571
Every other juror, who was black, was like nope, not guilty, not guilty, not guilty.

00:25:07.571 --> 00:25:11.037
And that's why the trial was so long, because they couldn't convince the whites and they finally did.

00:25:11.037 --> 00:25:15.772
At the end, the whites got fucking tired of being, you know, hidden away in a hotel for several months.

00:25:15.772 --> 00:25:18.366
They're like fuck it, fine, not guilty, get us the fuck out of here.

00:25:18.366 --> 00:25:20.009
You know what I mean.

00:25:20.009 --> 00:25:21.771
Otherwise that trial would have still been going on today.

00:25:21.771 --> 00:25:22.373
Who the fuck knows?

00:25:22.874 --> 00:25:30.393
Honestly, it's the problem that you have with a situation like this, and that's the thing.

00:25:30.393 --> 00:25:37.174
Oj was moderately famous, not explicitly famous, moderately, like.

00:25:37.174 --> 00:25:41.355
You knew him, but it's because your parents knew him, because he was a great running back.

00:25:41.355 --> 00:25:43.836
Or your parents' parents knew him.

00:25:43.836 --> 00:25:43.845
No, let's go that way.

00:25:43.845 --> 00:25:44.849
Your parents' parents knew him because he was a great running back.

00:25:44.849 --> 00:25:46.335
Or your parents' parents knew him no, let's go that way.

00:25:46.335 --> 00:25:48.573
