00:00:35.600When they talk about we need to protect black culture, this is the number one.
00:00:39.820This is how you prove that black culture in America promotes degeneracy.
00:00:43.400Because when a black person becomes more affluent, when they put on a suit, when they get a good job, when they speak correctly, you're speaking white.
00:00:53.840When they talk about keeping black culture black in those affluent areas, like as a lawyer, as a doctor, they mean they want a doctor who's also sagging.
00:01:01.980They want a doctor who's still banging and throwing up signs.
00:01:06.340I mean, I agree that there's a lot of stuff within hip hop culture that is kind of negative for sure.
00:01:26.580But you listen to the music, and I'm like, oh, this is all murder.
00:01:28.960Yeah, well, if you watch, like, a Lil Durk interview, you get a very different side of him.
00:01:32.780Whereas he's going to magnify the stuff that is, you know, violent or controversial in the music because he knows that that will work in the music.
00:01:40.880And it feels like the only stuff that he holds back on is the stuff that he thinks will literally, like, get him in trouble in a courtroom.
00:03:01.440So when you don't listen to that or, like, if you just listen to the Quran, for example, you're going to feel better.
00:03:05.980Your spirit's going to be more protected.
00:03:08.120But I grew up listening to extremely violent, extremely misogynistic hip-hop.
00:03:13.620And I would be lying if I said it didn't affect me in ways that probably I wouldn't want for my kid.
00:03:19.600But at the same time, I mean, they are, it's popular because it's providing, like, a gritty, very real perspective on the life that they grew up in.
00:03:28.040And I think that's, you know, that's what people are going to Lil Durk for, right?
00:03:57.440SoundCloud rap was, like, primarily dudes who had never really done anything violent and definitely weren't, like, from the streets or in gangs or whatever, rapping, saying that they're going to pull up and shoot you or whatever.
00:04:09.020And then that really, like, diminished and made way for, like, the situation we're in now, where a huge percentage of the most popular hip-hop is dudes who really, really are from that environment.
00:04:20.580I just interviewed a dude who killed two people and he got off on both of them for self-defense.
00:04:24.620What did he, what does he have to bring to the table?
00:04:56.680It's the same thing, like, when a girl becomes addicted to a murder documentary, it's because they like to feel that excitement of, like, putting themselves in that situation.
00:05:06.220That's not something, just because it's real doesn't mean it's good.
00:05:08.880Just because it's out there doesn't mean that it needs to be something that you put into your mind and put into your soul.
00:05:13.240Like, yes, it exists, but, like, what new information did you learn?
00:05:17.560Okay, there's people that kill people.
00:05:18.960You are kind of, like, making me realize that I should probably dwell on why I enjoy extremely gangster hip-hop a little bit more because just accepting that because it sounds good doesn't seem like a good enough reason to continue to listen to it for the rest of my life.
00:05:36.400I listen to rap all the time where I'm just like, oh, how would I ever explain that lyric to my kid?
00:05:52.420It sounds good, but I listen to a whole lot of Red, and that's, like, a demonic album, like, rapping about murder, murder, murder, murder all the time.
00:05:57.880I was listening to it, and then afterwards, you're just in a weird headspace.
00:06:00.540Next time you listen to, like, violent murder music, just, like, think about, analyze where your head is at afterwards.
00:06:06.200Is it, like, in a, like, you know what?
00:07:45.900When he was just having rappers on stream and just doing degenerate stuff, like people were smoking weed and rappers were talking about gangbanging murder, nobody canceled him.
00:07:54.040When he says there's two genders, which everybody knows is true, when he has Andrew Tate on, which everybody knows he's innocent, then people are like, oh, you're...
00:08:02.040Once he starts getting to the truth and trying to figure things out, it's like, what's going on?
00:08:06.160When he asks a question about, like, wait, is this good?
00:08:44.060Probably a very small percentage of rappers are actual murderers.
00:08:47.020But, you know, if he's sitting there with a Polo G or, you know, whoever, it's like, you know, he's getting, like, a very, like, cool, chill, humble version of them.
00:08:56.220If anything, that's something I realized through Aiden and some of these other guys, Jideon, whatever, is that, like, these are dudes who...
00:09:05.160They're just concerned with entertainment.
00:09:07.260And that audience is 10 or 20 or 50 times bigger than the audience for people who are, like, really, really focused on one specific style of music.
00:09:16.860Yeah, so it works really well together.
00:09:19.460But when you start becoming, like, when you're not just a goofy guy like Aiden was a couple years ago, and then you're, like, asking questions and, you know, pissing people off because you're telling the truth,
00:09:28.740then that entertainment dude can't associate with you because it blows the whole spot up.
00:09:32.700Then they start asking questions, like, wait, what are you really talking about in your music?
00:09:35.860Are you actually promoting anything good?
00:09:38.940They're like, I just want to smoke weed and promote my album.
00:09:40.620But you've got to be more careful on stream because I saw you and Zerka hollering at those girls, and then you realized they were underage.
