 You're not gonna buy this for me. You're a little pandemic, man. I met all the criteria. Man, you got the paperwork. You got a legit company. You ain't scamming. They gonna give it to you. You be clean. Hey, man. It's all a blow. Welcome back to the 85's house show. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's time to take a whole other direction in here today, man, because, you know, we got a very special guest in the trap with us. Got the sage burn. Yeah, man. Send the sage with the sage. You know, you got to set the atmosphere a little bit. I feel like I'm just gonna let the sage burn a little bit before I even tell him who we got in here with us today, man. No, because I want everything to just hit just right. A little bit more? All right, man. A little bit more? Cool. Yeah. Say what? All right, dude. Cleans. What'd you say? Yeah. All right. I can't hear you, though. All right, man. Very special guest. We got to do it. Man, got one of them smart brothers in here with us, man. Almost one of them smart brothers. Who done figured this shit out, man? Talking to him from the other side, man. You know? Entrepreneur. Come on. I just want to make up something. I feel like he's in touch with the information. Contact resources. Hmm. He may possess all those things. Always talking. Some good shit, man. I've seen a lot of his videos online. People have been hitting the comments and telling us we need to have this brother stop through the trap. He's doing some phenomenal things in the community. Also, teaching people about wealth and, you know, being financially responsible. Come on. Crypto markets. Metaverses. Social media. Mogul. The list could go on and on, man. We got none other than the brother 19 keys and everything. Appreciate y'all having me, man. At least most of the stuff that you do. I mean, I do a lot of different things. I know. You understand me? I definitely try to guide us in the right direction specifically for the moment. You understand me? And making sure that we're not left behind. Man, we love and appreciate that, man. Keep doing your thing. Appreciate it. Like what you're doing is really impacting people in a real way. See what I'm saying? No, it's a blessing. That's your impact. It's the same. It's some evil spirits leaving. You feel me? I don't even know what the hell that was, bro. I'm just the phone dropping. Somebody on that phone ain't living right. It's a lot of people on the phone ain't living right. That's probably the biggest issue. You understand me? Yeah. Oh, God, make it hard for people to live right, bro. Everything at your disposal. Man, I think that... They want you to have everything that you don't need. Technology made a lot of people dumber because they no longer rely on themselves. You feel me? You would imagine because we got phones and technology that we would be more productive. You know, but you're not going to be able to define a direct correlation between the amount of smart technology and the amount of productive statistics that you see in the world. I mean, if you give a dumb person a smart phone, they're still a dumb person. Absolutely. The phone was smart to begin with, really. It's all dependent on who operating it. You know what I'm saying? That's a fact. If you take the average person that lit a day and you dropped them off a hundred years ago, they won't have no skills to survive. You understand me? No value. So everybody thinks because you live in, you know, an advanced time because we got advanced technology, don't actually make you advance. You understand me? Yeah. Like, I think about that sometime, I play that in my head, like, damn, you dropped me off two, three hundred years ago. What skills would I have? What could I actually invent? Like, what knowledge I got of today I can take back in and do something with because then I can, like, measure what my actual core value is. I wouldn't be able to do shit probably a fisherman or something. Nothing but bad shit. Nothing but bad shit. No, I mean shit. Selling dope like a motherfucker. What's this? It's called crack, baby. You feel the love, this? You have to know how to crack. It's legal! It's legal, baby! Right, right. It's all that cocaine you snortin' making your nose hurt. You can beat the man to make a Coca-Cola. Come on, man. Stupid. Two, three hundred years ago. Yeah, but I would, yeah. You would be... Couldn't live in the seventeen hundreds, man. He wouldn't know how to hunt. He wouldn't know how to gather. Oh, now there's a black man for sure. Hell no. I'd rather go to the future than the past. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, you could probably go up in the wrong period of time. It's over for you. I'd take a gamble on that future with you, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Send me forward. Uh-uh. You just drop somebody in the past. You might end up a slave. But then you can go further back. I go back to the past a little bit. My end up in some noble society as a black person, so. I want to go back just a little bit. No, no. I think Martin Luther King and the Hill just one Gucci main mix, hey. No. So they're going to lose all hope for the future. No, no. Martin, listen to this. Stay wheel chainin'. What's up? Nah. Nah, nah. Nah, it was stupid. Nah. August 7th. Y'all been waitin'. Y'all been sayin' when we comin' to L.A. The magic, the magic. Johnson and them used to play it. It's the Lake Show. The Lake Show. Don't play that on the motorway. It ain't the Lake Show. It's the 85 South Show, though. Let's see what I'm sayin'. My fuckin' describing to me some shit are the impossible burger or some shit. No, he said shit is impossible. It ain't meat, but it look like meat. It taste like meat, it feel like meat. I said, Nick, it sound like you describing the deal, though. I don't want none of that. August 7th. Your ticket's still good if you bought them the first time. Yeah, yeah. We can swap it out. That's how we do it. You know what I'm mean? It's your girl Tray and Nicole. And Dallas. We comin' to see y'all on July 30th, and we turnin' up. Period. I ain't from Dallas, but I do, Tom Boogie. Hey! I'm from Dallas. Out there, period. And we are turnin' up. I can't wait. I'm so excited. Yes. I love Dallas. I love Dallas. I feel like y'all gon' show us a good time. We gon' turn up. We gon' have a good time. It's me. So July 30th, we are at Echo Lounge at Music Hall. The show starts at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6. I'm telling y'all, get there on time because we have some special guests coming through. Yes. It's gon' be so lit. Let me tell y'all. We got the new merch. We gon' have these shirts on sale. Period. If you ain't never been to a Pourmines show, you ain't never had a good time. So make sure y'all get y'all tickets. Go to www.pourmines.com and we'll see y'all July 30th. Period. Man, give our audience a brief introduction of, you know, who 19 Keys is. Man, peace to the family out there. I go by 19 Keys because it represents the way that I unlock minds. You understand me? Okay. But I consider myself to be a thought leader. You know, a leader amongst leaders, you know, oftentimes, I'm in front of the scenes, but I'm a lot of times behind the scenes, giving somebody some knowledge on how to move in the right direction. You know, whether it's celebrities, whether it's other influencers or peers that have platforms and also teaching us how to utilize our collective power. What is the right direction? It depends on what context. But the right direction is always the good. To do good. You understand me? For yourself and for others. I think you can take that as a general and you place that over every action. Then you can be like, all right, am I doing good to myself and I'm doing good to somebody else? That's the right direction. That's really one of the greatest ways to measure somebody's intelligence is their ability to choose the right direction. You understand me? And ability to be able to choose to be with the right people. You understand me? That's true intelligence. And that's why a lot of people have issues with family, with friends, with, you know, making the right decisions for themselves. What's my purpose? What's my direction? Where should I go? What should I do? Right. If they had that particular ability, most people, like it's not that successful people often time on the smartest in the world, they know they have a great ability to know how to choose the right direction. You know, what they should do and what they shouldn't do. Who they should be with, who they shouldn't be with. And that puts them in the right room, setting them up in the right situations. So therefore they can win more. It's all about the wins, man. K and D, I had taken a loss. Especially because you lack intelligence with all this technology available. No, that's a fact. Like, you know, you can, it's okay to make mistakes. You know, often time they're avoidable, but to consistently make avoidable mistakes that represent that you're slow. You can't keep hitting the same wall, man. Expecting different results. Especially not in today's time. Like, I feel like what we at right now, like, we can look at any point of what we want to do, whether we want to achieve wealth, whether we want power. There is a way that we can do it, but just not individually. Right. Right, so, I gotta pay this, my son phone bill. It's about collective intelligence. He just hit me bad. I was damn in the middle of sending it. No, that's a good father to that right there. You're making a good decision. You know what I mean? So, for me, man, as I try to teach people in, you know, poor man, whatever direction, it's simply just getting them to choose like for a black man, I'm gonna get you to choose to be powerful. I'm gonna get you to choose to be intelligent. I'm gonna get you to choose, you know, your higher self rather than your lower self from every decision you make. It ain't saying you gotta be 100% perfect. You feel me? But if you can choose the right decision more times than you choose the wrong one, you're gonna find your life going in a better direction. Right. You feel me? But the average person just don't know who they are, and that's probably one of the bigger issues that exist. And what did you find the knowledge to know who you are? I grew up, you know, luckily I had parents that taught me I was a God at a young age. You know, my mom and my pops, they both converted into Islam and the nation of Islam when I was younger. And, you know, growing up in that particular type of paradigm, it gave me instructions on who I was. Like, I'm a God. I live in a devil's world. This is what you go out of the deal with. Now, don't get me wrong. I lost the path a couple of different times growing up in Oakland and St. Louis. You go get into some things. But I found it again because I had a platform. You understand me? I had a basis I can always go back. So I really, I like to give a lot of credit to my parents because, you know, without that foundation, when I did get lost, I may not have had the tools to find myself again. You understand me? Because when you're going the wrong direction, when you've been told the right direction, all you got to do is go back to that foundation like, damn, I know I'm going the wrong way. This ain't even the way I was taught. You understand me? So picking that back up said, nah, I want to utilize my skillsets and my strength in a capacity where I want to reach my highest height, my potential. Like, I'm boy-shitting on myself. If I don't take myself from here to here, you understand me? Like, every man got to figure out a way to live in their edge. Like, you can just think about, and this is an easy way to calculate whether you live in there. Sometimes you think to yourself, like, damn, I could be doing more. Damn, I could be at a higher position. Damn, if I actually just focus, discipline, organize, then I can find myself in a much better place. Because that's yourself letting you know, like, it's way more to you than what you're actually doing. You understand me? And we don't know if they respect men who ain't living at their highest level in their highest caliber. Thanks. You understand me? We're judging my brother to be doing way more, but boy-shitting on life right now. And you can't put that in somebody. They got to figure that out for themselves. Then they got to readjust. So, like, for yourself, when you know you can be hired, you can have more money, better social status, have more impact and influence, you will kick yourself. Because you already know you must not be living towards that vision and that goal. And so every day that you will try to distract yourself from that voice to drown it out, or you go do something that's actually going to make that side of yourself happy, like, yo, all right, we committed to it. We getting there now. And so it don't matter if you take losses along the way, as long as you're going in the right direction. It's real dope shit. That's all I do. Try to stay going in the right direction. You know? It's so easy to avoid bullshit. But people choose it. It's easy for some people. It's hard for some people. Yeah, but some people think they're the exception. Some people think the bullshit's fine now. Yeah. I mean, because you're always in the environments where the bullshit at. Environment's stronger than nature. So it's like, if I'm in the hood and I know what goes down in the hood, then most likely it's going to happen to me. Who the shit? Who the shit? You feel me? But we already know it, but we still expose ourselves to it. You feel me? Because for the most part, we just don't know how to control ourself and change our environment. Man, the damn sage didn't win out, man. Now it ain't deep no more, bro. I knew once the sage went out, man, it's going to start bullshit. Nah, man, y'all got a lot of people right here, man. They say during recession and hard times, people try to, like, oftentimes they start binge drinking. They, uh, play games too much. You understand me? They start binge watching TV shows. Specifically, man, like, we got a hard time dealing with our emotions and stress. So we going to do everything to distract us from accountability. You understand me? And we deal with these times the worst. So I like the fact that y'all show Switch It Up because somebody may have just jumped on here at one time because, man, I rock with 85. They keep me going. Damn, this one time they had bro on there. He really gave me some game that transitioned my life. Right. People tell us that type of stuff all the time, man. That's what we do it for real. That's why exactly we... That's the power of black media, though, for real, too. That's why we try to have a wide range of people on the show, man. Just so people can, like you said, form their own opinion. Yeah. Come up with your own concepts because you never know who they going to hear from. But just think before we had, like, the ability to create our own media, we had to listen to watch everything that they just gagged us. Right. You understand me? No ability to project your own thought out there. Like, even I was listening to the game talking about how the fact when he was going through his contract disputes and shit, like, he didn't have a platform to go on social media and voice it and get the people on this side. Like, that didn't exist. Like, our generation got that ability. It could have came to the trap. Definitely. And it should. And every black celebrity that's out there and somebody that got influenced, they should all come to every one of these media sites. So, that's what you're supposed to do. Did you see that Nori Yeager from the Drake Champs called out the black celebrities for not supporting the black media they know? They know some bullshit, man. You know, once they get a part of that bourgeoisie crowd, man, they start to follow in line. But they don't even understand. We plugged in to the niggas. And it's more popular on this side. Hell, yeah. But we plugged in to, like, last time I counted, like, 1,300 communities, separate entities. Yeah. But look at it, though. So, let's say I seen LeBron say he's going to pick, basically, a podcast to go on, whether it's he or somebody else. I hit him up and told him to come to the trap. Come on, man. Yeah, LeBron better. He need to come. You know, I do high-level conversations, so, you know, we be going all over different universes and shit in our conversation to go on. Different universes and shit? Yeah. So, I had Billy Carson on. You know, we was talking about multiple dimensions. Right. You know, and ancient civilizations, a multitude of different things. I had my bro, Blue Pill on. That's when we went deep in. You know, people believe in astrology and chakras and things of that nature, so. Right. I tried to have a wide variety of different subjects and topics at the same time, because, you know, we need high-level conversations. Like, we don't value intelligence at all in our culture. You don't think so? No, I ask, so who... Give me the top five smartest people, smartest black men in the world. Top five smartest black men in the world? Yeah, top five smartest black men fast. Shit, Tyler Perry. Um... Johnston. Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. And that black dude that invented them super-soaked water guns. See, that's my proof right there. That fine? That's your fine? That's your fine? Yeah. We don't know who the smartest black... It's them two little kids. Tyler Perry, bro. It's them two kids. Who the little kids? They had outstanding IQ. They way smarter than them. That's why I tell you, man. They're like 30 now. They not even kids no more. These old ladies. These old ladies. These old ladies. Every couple years we dropped their memes and we proud of them, too. All the people that I named found a way to finesse the system. But you said smartest, though. That's smart. You gotta be smart to figure out how they figured this shit out. So let's say you compare... Let's make smart in a area. Who the smartest five white men? Shit, I have no idea. John Lennon. Ellen DeGeneres. I like this list. Mike Myers. Austin Powers. Adam Sandler. How many left? Bill Ge... Oh, Jeff Bezos. Johnny motherfucking Depp. Can we beat his case? Nah, so in real life, though. Let's say... We talk about, like, we don't even really have a measure on what we were great at, what makes you the smartest in the first place. I think they're just doing, like... IQ, pure... Let's say impact. You understand me? If you're talking white guys, then most people go look at Elon Musk. No, fuck that. Before that was Elon Musk. It was Steve Jobs. It was Bill Gates. Bill Gates held them for a long time. Bill Gates was first and then Steve Jobs. But see how you got actually nine entertainers that you can go towards when you actually look the smartest in their culture for real? It's not even necessarily that they were the smartest. They just had the best idea. What makes it the best idea? My point is, is that when we think about the top, we think about the most popular in our culture. We don't really think about the most intelligent. I think it's because we have to look at it from a different perspective on being black, because it's already hard as fuck, right? I think the ultimate goal was to get this paper. Fuck the accomplishment. The ultimate goal was to get to the paper. What were we going to do with the money? We've been getting money, let's be honest. Who is we? Black people think that we're going to all be together. That's why we're losing. It ain't no us. I think we like the idea because we know that our collective intelligence is the only way to get there. But the reality of it is on a daily basis we don't believe in that. If we believed in it truly, we would make it happen. That's the thing about it. We can say that about a lot of hypothetical shit. But who is this we that we're talking about? We as black people are like all of us as a group. Not those that agree to the collective idea. Everybody don't agree to it. That's what I'm saying. Like I'm good. I'm straight. Y'all worried about this black shit. We're doing good over here. We get money. We don't give a fuck about that. Let's see, even another culture that don't have to consistently think about Chinese, Jewish, right, white or whatever. They already have it within a culture ways for them to collectively succeed. We only have ways for us to collectively fail. You understand me? Which is completely different. So the idea, like I always talk about creating a new culture because our current culture is with a failure culture. We don't know how to win. And we don't know how to win together. See, there's a lot of people winning in the culture. Yeah, individually, but individual wins don't mean nothing. For hell, that's how all the other groups of people that you're saying are winning. You don't never hear white people come out and say, oh, they're making white people look bad. But Chinese people say, you're making Asian people look bad. Because they run the world already. They run the world banks for our education. That's because they don't let themselves be classified as a group. Like all the white people that we named, right? They don't give a fuck about what other white people is doing. Because they have the privilege to not care because they already run the shit. Because they don't have to save an entire race of people. They could just do their thing and be successful by themselves and just be like, happenstance be white. Those at the top do think about, like right now, they're going into a population decline. They think about maintaining that. That's why they goddamn commit terrorist acts. Because they don't ever want to be number two. They don't want to be the minority. They fight against that every single day as a collective. That's the reason they keep niggas down because they know if I get out your way, y'all go win. Hey, you win. You understand me? If we stop collectively creating all of these systems and agendas to lock, kill black men, to grade them, separate the families, we can't allow black men and women to come together. Y'all focus? It's no way to stop y'all. So you got to think about that. Naturally, we're attracted to each other, but they keep putting shit in the way to wedges against each other. They wouldn't have done that if they know if I just left y'all alone, y'all would win. But anytime we've been left alone to our own devices, and fast, you understand me? So that's why they had to destroy every single black town. They destroyed every single group that's created because they know if we just leave y'all alone, y'all got messiahs, y'all got generals, y'all got builders, y'all gonna win. So they make sure that they interest as a group is protected by keeping ours down and keeping us separate. That's the way it works. Like, the greatest collective group will be the unabiliased Muhammad, accomplishment-wise in America. The most influential man ever in America. So if I'm a great intelligence, I'm gonna do it by influence and impact, you understand me? And your ability to create sound solutions and be effective. So we don't have too many ways where we measure like, damn, who's the most intelligent because when we think about problems, we put out the most popular, not the smartest person that can actually solve a problem. So therefore, we never hear the voice of someone in a room just the person that's popping the most. That's a matter of opinion, though. Everybody gonna have their own answer to that question? If we got a problem that definitely deals with engineering, I'm gonna bring an engineering scientist. I'm not about to bring Oprah or Beyoncé to talk about it. You understand me? So I don't want to bring the most popular, I'm gonna bring the most qualified. Shit, I'm bringing Oprah and Beyoncé because they're gonna bring all the top scientists out to that shit. But why not just put the top scientists and make that the person that's gonna solve it? How we gonna find them? Somebody gotta be connected. They already educated. You think if Oprah don't promote this shit, the top people ain't coming? When was the last time we had a scientist in the culture that was like, I... When I say we, when we do like... That's what I'm saying. I use the word we a lot because I'm a rock of black people. And so I consider all y'all we. And you know, we, first of all, if that's the case, we have to establish we first. Like, where the fuck are we? We gonna get together to make a collective decision. It's a we whether or not we want it to be a we because they can look at us as a we. That's what I'm saying. We don't have a we. There is a we. Because the moment we come up with a we, it's still like, we ain't going to work tomorrow. It's still gonna be some n***a like, shit. It's all new. Fuck we. We not together, but they done put us together. N***a, ain't no we. It's just us. No, don't be telling them, hey. Ain't no we yet. Who they get the vote? Who they get the vote? We need y'all to vote. Y'all. Yeah. See? Because they calling us we. They to put the we on us. But then once they let us vote, let us vote, then we find out. And vote, yeah. Amen. We didn't say that. We also don't need everybody. Like, I'm not talking about all 45 million black people. I ain't trying to save everybody. Just those who collectively. It won't happen like that. The only way it happened like you, when you want to go save a people, you don't go to the people, you go to the leaders of the people. You understand me? You go to the people that got their attention and their influence and you get them to change the direction. We don't listen to nobody. We listen to the most popular. We listen to the motherfuckers if it's the wrong shit. If every black media channel decided to say, okay, every once in a while we're going to sprinkle something about financial literacy on there. We don't start reprogramming the people whether they want to or not, because it's going to be so popular and we just go follow what's popular. We've been failed by everybody. Black and white. Now you're saying we. We. Black people as a whole. The black community. People with black and brown skin. People who had black mothers. I think it is. When I say black, I ain't even really talking about skin. I'm talking about those who share the same ideas and values. You understand me? Because there's a lot of people who may share the same skin color but don't share the same ideas on what's progress. Nobody does. And I feel like that's what's keeping the whole community so stagnant. Because we don't have a collective agreement of what that vision looks like. That I agree to. Let's think about how long it took the Constitution. It took them to lock you into a room and white men came together and they wrote a Constitution for everybody so that they can win over time. And it's never going to change. And so if you look at a blueprint that's already successful, it means that if you implement the same thing, they're already showing you how to win. But who's defining the success? I think statistics. When you look at impact, when we look at how many black men get locked up with our black families generating, how many products do we own? Gross domestic product? What are we actually producing? What's our education level? You can start to look at statistics and be like, okay, they're improving. You understand me? Because if we got 1.6 trillion spending power, we ain't got a problem getting money. We got a problem putting money somewhere where it's productive. We got a problem producing things because everybody else utilizes our spending power. Because we buying up, they shit because they producing something. We not producing, we just spending. It means that if the influence now is, yo, alright, everybody can keep talking about designing brands, but what we talk about just designing our own brands, right? Well, we making our water bottles, we making our draws, we making our soap, we making everything that's essential, products, and then we buy from ourselves. There's no way you can't lose. You become a prosumer, you produce what you consume. You understand me? You keep it in-house. But everybody else they market to us to look how much money we got. We got more money than the whole continent in Africa. So that means that it's a mindset shift that happens, and that ain't gonna happen until the influence shifts where it's like, alright, collectively if you got 5% of people that's only influencing people in a good direction, the other 95 is the ones who pushing them over. So inside the, the courtier, the we, we fighting against each other because I'm trying to cite for attention from you because you putting them in the wrong direction. I'm trying to get them in the right direction. Shit, now I gotta fight my own brother and sister just to keep us in line. So it ain't gonna happen until the dominant influence is like, alright, this what we doing. And it ain't gotta happen in no corny way. It can just be embedded in there subtly of messages because that's how it happened to us. Somebody go sprinkle some seeds in there. Everybody getting high and drunk. Now, damn, breast it or something real. Then the next time you run into some person, man breast it the same thing. It must be a sign. It must start repetitiously putting it in somebody head planting the seed. So it's not impossible but we gotta work as a collective intelligence. And then like I said it don't take everybody. It can take a group of 24, 48 people that got enough influence that can move the whole courtier. Mmm. I don't know. I'm telling you, I don't, I don't it's too many, it's too many holes in that plan. I ain't gonna get a full proof plan on here, but it's too many holes I'm just saying the reality I don't think we're gonna be able to get everybody on the same plan Phil. But you don't need everybody. We ain't gonna be able to get the information now quick enough. Hell, when was the black pal with me shit. I wouldn't know Facebook. I for fact know you can find 24 or 48 people to show up. It ain't gonna be for everybody. Some people just gonna have to get influenced by the people we bring. Plus, our courtiers ran by money. So, we put our money together. We go buy people that don't want to be a part of it anyway. See, somebody gonna steal the money. We didn't try that shit 470, 810. Well, we tried that. Every time somebody steal the money. But that's a fear of money. Every time we put some money together, somebody steal the money. That black life matter, they just stole the money. Oh, that wasn't real. They just stole all the money. That wasn't real. Y'all don't want to talk about it. See, that's not a problem. We don't never talk about shit. It was a power move. It was some black folks who stole some money from some black folks. What was ever they ain't gone? I don't know. Exactly. Chid about that crib. So, exactly so. Cribs. Everybody gave money to a car but they never told you what they was gonna do with the money. They bought a crib. They told us they was finna get some money. So, they were successful. They shoulda came out looking. We bought the crib. Thanks for the money. Every time we tried to do something. But they never said, we gonna start creating banks and schools and mental health clinics and they said none of that. People assumed they was gonna do that. You really think they were gonna help? People didn't know it was a group. You thought it was a phrase? No, I never thought that Black Lives Matter was gonna help at all. But education go always help. Because education allow people better options to make better decisions. Absolutely every time. Man, we're talking about a system that's ran by white people. You already see how they treat you when you get a degree from an HBCU. You're not about to get no corporate job. HBCUs ain't really black though. Look at all these colleges that's not about to let you in. What high school did you go to? The black people. Well, they didn't recognize that. It's skill base, not degree base. What you mean skill base? I'm not gonna educate you to get a degree. I'm gonna educate you to get a skill. Like right now, if you teach the average black man or woman coding, they gonna be able to get a job and or create their own business. That's where the system gonna come right back in the place. Or you can create your own business. You don't need a job. But at the same time, I know for a fact what the internet did is it made it to where you personally don't even have to know who you are. They can't even discriminate against you. But people ain't really caring right now if you got the skills they're hiring. Most people ain't got no skills. Like, the top degrees we go to we go on to African American studies and psychology. The top paying degree is engineering. So everybody that's flooding into schools ain't even getting the highest paying degrees when they get out, so they ain't got no skill sets to do nothing. So it's a bunch of educated, unskilled people that went into debt without a skill set to even pay off the debt. They don't represent me. They ever said they did. No, I'm just saying. It just sounds like a long list of complaints about what niggas ain't doing. The solution was the skills. They made the choice to go to school and go to, you know, to be a social worker. They did that goofing shit. They done paid $90,000 for a degree that made $40,000 a year. They do shit like this. That don't mean we fucked up as black people. I never said it did, but we just never knew how to make the right decision because off the time we was doing it because that's all we knew. That's what the family told us. That's what's going to make the family proud. Somebody got us living through them. You feel me? So therefore, we thought we were just in place. By telling them to get the wisdom and figure it out, shit, we already in debt. That's it. But that's the game, though. You have to look at this whole scheme of what America is from the inside out, and once you get to a certain level, it ain't even about colors no more. It's about money. So once you figure out one system, then you've got a whole another set of problems to figure out. Absolutely. So that's why I say if you use the money, you can buy what you want in America. Even if you do use the money to buy what you want in America, where you going to take it? You go globally and in America. Like, I still want to, like, America still ours. Like, we've been here forever. You know what I'm saying? America don't belong to nobody no more. This is what I'm saying. In the future, in the metaverse, don't nobody own shit. No, nobody ever own shit. It's owned by corporate. America. Exactly. I mean, those who own it, you got to go to UK and you got to go to the Pope on America. See, that's what I'm saying. That's what's going on right now. They starting to show you who really run this shit. I mean, it's been that way for, you know, a few hundred years or a thousand years or so. But look at the way that they can just instantly cut some shit off. At the same time, that shit was created by some frail white boys with an idea. And that's what still got me. I'm just the type of person that will never believe or generate, or there's not going to be a generation that generates an idea that rules the world. Because they was the same folks that got together with an idea, implementing it and now they run the world. So for me to believe that means that I've just effectively, they became God and I'm their slave. You understand me? Like, there's something in the black man that won't even allow him to consistently believe that I've been conquered forever. You understand me? That's the thing that they try to consistently suppress. You understand me? That belief in self, black man focused, he gon' do anything. When I'm focused on my solutions, how to get us together, I start figuring out the whole machinations, how they did it, how the system worked, how to create my own. You understand me? And eventually, while they fighting all the wars, we gon' find the cracks and build our own. But it has to consistently be tilted into the minds like nah, this shit ain't over. See, that's the thing about it. You said that black men are gods and kings, right? When have any gods and kings ever thought to join up? If everybody's a god and a king, it's just gon' be a bunch of gods and kings. You give what I'm saying? Like, these are individual entities. You have a nation of times where you're like the... The 85s. Oh. The idea is that you have people under the same gods. You understand me? Collectively believing in the same thing for a collective vision. But that's the thing about it. There is no collective vision. So that's the goal, the vision that everybody adhere to. It ain't gon' happen. Because like you said, you a god, you a god, you a god, you a god. So if we all different gods, we gon' move godly, right? But it ain't never gon' be like, okay, us as gods, we agree to this. We won't use our powers on each other. It'll never happen. Why not? I mean, not in what you call me. Not in the Christian Bible, man. Right. Yeah, no, but as we already got the same enemy, we really got the same goal, we just don't sit at the same table. But we don't, though. Because listen. And not everybody, so you focus on the people who don't have the same goal. Your goal might be to reach the people. Your goal might be to reach the people. His goal might be to become a trillionette. So y'all gon', your morals and your principles about how you gon' go about this shit gon' be totally different. Yeah, if you build in with people who don't have the same goals. Okay. If you build on people who got the same mission, the same vision and the same values, y'all go in the same direction. Okay, that's what I'm saying. So as black people, the black community, as a whole, right? We can all collectively agree that it's fucked up, right? But when it's time to sit down and figure out why it's fucked up, everybody got a thousand ideas of why it's fucked up. Some people gon' get up and say, fuck that, give us our land and we want to go back to work in the field like we used to and grow our own shit. So, yeah.

They're super simple. That's really the best model. Everybody, they vote. 10% of the people say they ain't rockin' with it. Another 15%, they say they won't go do something else. Another 50% fell off. We come down to it. We got 19% left. We rockin' with those. We go build with whoever want to go. You understand me? I think the idea of trying to build with people ain't got the same mission, vision, and values is where you lose. That's why I don't need everybody. We go. There's always going to be some soldiers. Always going to be some suckers. You go build with the soldiers and lead the suckers. That's how it's got to be. But see, we've been some confused for so long, man. Y'all got some water? Oh, there ain't water. Hold on. There's all kind of shit in here. Just falling out. No, man, I'm not debating you. I'm just being objective. Oh, mind it, man. I need a little objective opinion. You know, we talk shit like this at the barbershop and shit like that. Well, look, the niggas came from the earth, then. Why ain't no moon? You see what I'm saying? What is the moon? The moon is white. At night, though, they wouldn't even let us have night. They had to throw a white moon up there in the black sky of the night. Right? Wrong. No, I'm just fucking around. Welcome to the trap, bro. Oh, man, I appreciate it. You gotta keep you on your toes, man. Oh, yeah, I stay on the hoax. So what else we got going on, man? I seen you on the Marvel show, man. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was watching you. Yeah, make some noise for me. Yeah, shout out how it got, man. He a movie star, bro. Nah, we working on it. What you got in the worst mess? Uh... It's a little kids movie. I think that shot a while ago, I don't know. You know, I don't never know when stuff drops. So I do it and try to forget about it. Come on, man. You should do it. Yeah. You should do it. I want to play, like, a black man with the ability to just change anybody's mind. And I can read minds and stuff. Oh, shit. Yeah. That shit is scary, you know. Yeah, so I start just figuring out ways to change the whole world. I start going big. I stay low. I stay private. Nobody know about it. You understand me? I'm in my hood and I'm just running things. What's the first thing you'll do to change the world? First thing, it depends on what part of the world I want to change, because that's very... No, it's the world. It's the whole world. But the world is just a collective of ideas and people and shit. Like, what about the world I want to change? I want black people to get money. So... And you talking about in my movie sense that shit, right? You know what I'm saying? You was like, I want all the black people in the world to get some money. And then you look around and don't shit change and then you're like, why is shit different? You're like, niggas had money the whole time. Mm-hmm. Yeah, now, we've been having money. I think we just don't have self-knowledge and education. You understand me? Some people chose the money over that shit. Yeah. And that's why they did dumb shit with the money, because they ain't had no knowledge for it. You know what I'm saying? It'll have to be educating us to a higher degree. If... If right now, all black people got reparations, we're going to soon lose it and give it back to them folks, because we don't know what to do with the money. You understand me? Because we don't buy a bunch of shit. Yeah. Huh? Yeah. We don't buy up everything. We don't live, because all we know how to do is spend. We don't know how to produce. That wouldn't necessarily be the wrong thing, though. You got to hurry up and spend it with the money, right? All niggas be straight everywhere we go. They only accept the Bitcoin. They don't even fuck with cash no more. By the time we all get our money shit, they're going to be the mood on to some other shit. We only take buffalo niggas now, pal. We going by land. We going to make connections with other countries. You feel me? Like, Africans need like people right now. You saw that shit where you gunned it. We swiped over Africans and we make hell, and that's part, like, a today on me knowing what to do with the money. You understand me? They got resources, but oftentimes they don't even know how to take advantage of the resources, and they own back yard. So that's why they always had the Chinese, always had white folks coming in there. You understand me? Pulling they resources, giving them pennies on the dollar, and then shipping it off to make billions. So, like, if you take the intelligentsia of the black community, those who are educated, and go over to Africa and make deals with the different countries, different presidents, you can go build over there. It's right right now. You understand me? Jack Dorsey, he building over there. A bunch of people building in Africa, because they know, number one, African population about the double, right? They got the youngest population over there. They got all of them tech geniuses, and we not really looking at Africa as a source for the future. You feel me? But if we did, that's where all of the new, I feel like the trillionaires in the next billion, billionaires, going to be created in Africa. And it's hella land to build on. Like, it's just we don't have that in our imagination. Like, I really believe in being able to give us certain thoughts, and certain ideas, and certain visions. And everybody ain't going to do it, but it's going to be a small percentage of us that really take that and run with it. You understand me? And if you can impart that wisdom on a few, then you change the world. Not right now, but over time. Because sometimes we want shit done in such a short amount of time, but you never go see those results. But the fuck the part is we're going to actually get to see the world change in our lifetime. Shit, I seen it change a couple of times. This ain't the world I grew up in when I was just young. Everything changed. Hell, yeah. All the men want to be women, all the women want to be men. Not all, though. It's a big change. Not all, but land I got a lot. You feel me? So for me, I didn't see the dynamics change, even principles in the streets. Everything didn't change, though. Yeah. You feel me? Technology didn't change the world. We didn't have what we got now, today. Back then. Like, the world has changed so drastically. And sometimes we don't even look around to see how much has changed. So we don't even take advantage of all the changes and the resources. Because if you really stop like, damn, I'm living in the best time to do whatever I want to. Because I got more access than just about all of my ancestors had at any point in time. Information, media, money, people. Like, if I really sit down and you got ideas you can do whatever you want to. But it's more so just the lack of good ideas and execution that people had. It ain't a lack of resources. That's why, you know, what we do with the financial literacy, I call it the financial liberation movement. You know, by teaching people financial literacy and educating them, now you give them the options to change their life in a different direction. Because a lot of people just be stuck and don't know where to go. So it's like, alright. Number one, let me even tell you how to deal with yourself. Because before I'm gonna teach you how to deal with money, I'm gonna teach you how to deal with your mind. You understand me? Because that's where all your issues from money come from. You don't know how to stop spending. You got insecurities. You don't love yourself. You understand me? You do all of these different things and then if I can help build that and help you get to know yourself, you stop spending because of your insecurities or your issues. Now I actually can save. I can fast from things. I can stop when I want to do something. But most people ain't got control over theyself. If I ask the average person right now stop smoking. Stop drinking it tomorrow. They gonna say, I can do that. But if they try to, they be back smoking and drinking tomorrow. So who has control over you if you don't have control over yourself? You understand me? And so it's really getting people to see themselves and giving them tools to be able to stop fast, which detox from all of that shit that you got going on in your life and then you start correcting yourself from there. And I ain't saying do that shit overnight but I'm saying that specifically for men when I be talking like this, it's like it ain't about it being easy. It's about you going and doing the hard thing because that's what's gonna make you a man. You understand me? If you really grade yourself by them details and you consider yourself to be a man, you have to stop that's not easy. Acting like it was just acting like that. I'm saying that you a man drop your nuts and get it done. If not, then be happy with the consistent life of a sucker. But I think that, you know, we got that ability sometimes we just need somebody to talk to us. You feel me? And we're under mother, under father, under brother, under sister. We ain't really got that family energy no more. You feel me? And that family energy, we got principal, we got value. Everybody live by this. This is the code of the family. There ain't no codes, no structure. So everybody just trying to figure out life as they go and they just fell in everywhere. You feel me? Families don't work together like they used to, you know, just, you know, for a lot of reasons. No, I love my family. They ain't got stable. But that's the thing about it. It never got bad. It's just like it's been. It's been the same story for the whole time. We always, family actually was solid. Like during the whole time of slavery family stuck together still. You understand me? Really gonna get up all the way to the point of welfare state government start breaking up men and women and family started dispersing, which means that we went through that whole entire time of slavery eons of history and it didn't get to government programs of welfare that started to break up black men and women. So when we really simply look at it it ain't that hard to fix it. Black men gotta get money again. You feel me? And then start doing the right thing with it. But we just can't, for the most part, can't be dependent on. So a woman becomes independent when a man can't be dependent on. That's just a simple formula. You understand me? And now they can't go together. She can't depend on you. You understand me? Because you're not dependable and she's independent. So she depends on no one. So who's she going to at the end of the night? So it's just switching those dynamics in. You know that's the conversation I like to have with the culture. The plot twist is she going home. She got a nigger. They meeting over there. She independent. Not by herself. Independent don't mean single. No, that's a fact. Amen. We'll be single at some point in time. That shit don't never lie. I learned this about women. If you don't physically say the words that like y'all together like boy, like I'm your boyfriend. We are this. We are in a, if you don't say that verbally. You can get away with not treating. Then y'all are not together in their relationship. It's a verbal contract. We still believe it, even though you don't say it because when you act it, because nowadays men will act apart as the boyfriend, the husband, all of that. And a woman going to make an assumption is what we is. So her feelings going to be caught up in it as if in the way that she assumed. It's only the assumption until she get like if you get caught, then she going to say, oh, I thought we were together. But if you catch her and dumb shit, it's going to be we were never together. That's the insurance. On the flip side, she has a dude who's going to say the same thing. Like I never said we was together. But that just makes you sound like more of a terrible man. But as a woman and she says it. But it's the same thing. It's like, oh well you were leading yourself on because I never agreed to these terms. She's going to say it just like that too. They called with it like that. You think you just approach them using logical sense. Hell no. Women ain't based on logic. I never do that. And you know I don't even say women. I say the feminine energy ain't based on logic. Which is completely different. So when you try to approach anything with a woman just based on rational and logical thought you go lose every time. Even if you write an argument you going straight with logic you go lose. You got to go with feeling. That's right. You got to let go with your feelings. You can't be like this is what you did. You got to say this is how I felt about it. About what you did. No matter. You got to speak about your feelings. They don't care about how nothing made you feel man. It's about how they felt. And what you did you weren't supposed to have no feelings. Right. Because anytime you get to do some shit she be like boy please after all the shit you did it's a cold world man. I think all men should just stop trying to figure women out completely. Fuck it. It's going to deal with them when they feel like dealing with us and we're just going to leave that shit secret like it's been. We need to really stop wasting time trying to figure out women. It's not. What the figuring out you're wrong. You're going to understand your woman but you got to make peace. I think feminine energy masculine energy for the most part we do the same shit over and over. People ain't that complicated. We like to think shit complicated but we don't like to accept what we already know as men. But trying to figure it out detail by detail you go lose every time. Right. You just got to understand this is feminine energy it's how I move. You understand me I'm masculine it's how I think. You feel me then when you put them two together it ain't really much to figure out. You just got to act accordingly. Amen. Just leave them ladies alone. Deal with your woman. That's the best advice I can give you. Don't try to figure women out. There's too much there's too much shit in the game when it comes to that. But I also think that's probably one of our biggest issues like. Man don't understand themselves women don't understand themselves. I understand me. I got a cool it take a long time though. Like. The older you get the more you learn about yourself and what triggers you and what you don't want and the people you like and you know when it's time to get out of there. It just take a long gas time to come up with a complete list of who you are as a man. And just you know you get to a certain age where you start to know yourself better right and I think it's black men we think that you know we have the luxury of you know pick that shit that ain't me like there are certain parts of life that you can't skip certain things have to happen and your journey in the manhood like you ain't gonna be a complete man until you don't get your heart broke or some shit like that or really been in a real relationship and then you can go back and reflect and see where you were wrong what you could have did better but then it's like where you weren't wrong things that you can decisions that you make that you can live with that's the biggest part about being a man having people look at your decisions if you can be comfortable with them and face the consequences that come with them that's that's what being a man is probably not to around 35 like a man stops thinking selfishly for the most part you understand me so like relationships before that almost doing the fail sometime just because you don't really know how to stop not just thinking about yourself and start thinking about the other person empathetically man don't know how feelings work until you get your fucking feelings hurt put that on the shirt you don't even know that shit you don't even know what the fuck that shit feel like somebody do it you on you you ain't got a lot of emotional experience though like when we young we just we skip over feelings we'll have them that's what I'm saying we like that's our developmental delay no you have them you don't act you don't use them though you have them then somebody ignore some bullshit happen and then you ice cold you you hey hey this one girl did I'm finna I'm hard on these hoes I'm iceberg slim out here I mean should I want to talk to tap into my feelings you understand me lose I was taught you know rise above emotions but once you get to understanding it because you ain't gonna really be able to appreciate understand women until you tap into that side of yourself as well yeah don't rise above it that's the thing about it though once you understand that those feelings are there you got to walk straight through that shit that's the only way it's gonna work that's what I'm saying you can't cut the corner some things in life you just got to do I believe in rising above it just in the fact that your emotions don't rule you you understand them yeah some of that shit you got but like the consequences of those emotions you have to face that shit that's a fact but you got to feel yourself rather than try to suppress it you know that's where you get a lot of you know I hate the word but toxic behavior you understand me where it's like I don't really know how I'm feeling I'm gonna skip that and you just start acting out you understand me nah I'm gonna take full inventory of who I am what I feel because I ain't gonna be afraid of no emotion that come up it ain't gonna control me it ain't gonna rule me you understand me but I'm gonna feel it because if I don't then that's saying I'm afraid of myself anything you surprised gonna come up eventually did this shit just turn into black man therapy or something yeah man some real mental health talk I mean you know me and my bros we were talking about that earlier it's like just the idea that men never uh when you're younger you don't have conversations around how you feel you understand me and how you can see that shit exactly that's the whole that's where to go to but at the same time is one of the most masculine things because that's a man logically dealing with shit you understand me it's like it's easy to go fight somebody but to have conflict resolution and communicate that's masculine the feminine is the latter not dealing with it you understand me so we was never talked that yo we sit down as a council of men and we actually talk about things that's masculine in hell yeah we used to do that after the fact yeah usually having too late that's why when you see grown men talk especially in older age they able to sit down they able to articulate they can break things down they can talk about all matters of things and get through it but when you young if you ain't got a father in your life that can really train you through that you ain't gonna never pick it up and my brother and father they the most masculine man I ever known so they definitely talk about it so I imitated them so it took me years to understand that I ever even had a feminine side you understand me and what that actually meant and that didn't pertain to women it just pertain to balance the energies with them myself which was a completely different conversation then once you able to balance that out then you really got all the power you want to as a man you understand me and that's why I draw creatively from that's why I draw my leadership from that's why I draw my intellect I'm able to pull from both sides and understand myself and I just don't lie to myself if I'm fucked up in the area then I'm gonna look in the mirror and I'm gonna own that until I can control it and let it go you understand me I'm not go nah that ain't me I rather see myself who I am so I can change into the person and I feel like I should be that changes always always good growth part of the evolution yeah so wish y'all next phase in life like do you ever you ever think about like alright I think about my future self right so like in 10 years what I'm gonna be wearing the way I'm gonna feel the way I'm gonna dress I'm gonna be on a whole another level you understand me so do you ever stop and have that vision on where you think about your future still be me a little bit fatter I'm gonna be on a boat just out in the middle of the

oh I mean but you feel me I'm gonna always keep it real with him you know they found a nigga that did it anyway no they was cool with it they followed the platform you still got the other guy's number he did it no nobody can do it but me but no he asked me he said so and he said it in his accent but it was like man I really follow you man I need you to help me get my power you understand me I said I can't help you with no white power you understand me I can't be responsible for that and he respected it damn but I still gave him some solid advice I made this man you didn't mean it I still gave him some solid advice on his life you feel me and I think the energy I gave him changed his life cool club is playing after this beats wise of the going to the bank wouldn't give you the black part but the white part has always been in you that's not my responsibility that's funny oh yeah man whatever we want to talk about I mean the crown that you know I was originally inspired by the unaboyed Lodge Mohammed you understand me and I wanted to merge like higher consciousness with the streets so originally I had it on bandanas this was a more advanced one right here that you see but normally we had a bandanas and I used to go around the world and I crowned people all around the world you understand me in the streets and I went and it was just a process where you know kind of giving them affirmation as I'm doing it you know some good energy and people would make that it became like a pilgrimage people would come all over and they wanted to get crowned you understand me and I wanted something that like if you look at the paisley print of the bandana that represented gang culture like if you look at colors it'll help people spread gang culture oh man I put on this I'm gang so I'm like damn what do we have as an opposite effect we got something that you tap into your higher self so I'll make sure that we always got them tied up in the back just so it's always that connection you understand me to the streets and now when I see people and they wear it sometimes they meet with each other and we call it crown society where it's just those around the world who crown themselves and representation of knowing who you are what you stand for what you believe you feel me and it's solid because when people meet they got the crown on them they know that they tapped into similar frequencies you feel me and so we build like that because I wanted to create something that even when I'm going down somewhere and I see somebody with the crown no that's my folks you feel me we all tapped into that same energy when we talk about weed that was my weed you understand me I can't I can't deal with everybody but that was my weed those who tapped in right and so I always did you know fashion and just knew how to design things with creativity and DAPIDAN just followed me so you know I'm officially a fashion icon in that area man that don't mean shit he only followed 185 people you feel me and I want to you can't take that you can't take that away act as if it did act as if it did act as if it did you feel me you feel me this will happen for real this will happen for real he was doing a collaboration right with Gap and he sold out like maybe I think 10,000 hoodies so I put out a video giving an idea on how this would have went better if you made it to NFT because you would have got royalties on it if you would put it out there right everybody tagging some people like men doing them need your help right a week later that's exactly what they do then a week later after that Dan followed me tapped in he could have followed you the week before I didn't know he was going to do your idea I ain't getting no money off of him but I'm going to use it for cloud free game no I ain't going to stop that I don't feel like nobody on me but that don't mean I can't press play and say that that's something I did but you really believe that Dapper Dan following you makes you a fashion icon that's just him weighing his opinion on it that's all you feel me you ain't a fashion icon I'm just fucking with you you know we don't talk too much keep doing your thing I'm up there but you know even with the NFTs and stuff it's really not even just the NFTs it's just the whole blockchain and web 3 yeah I bought some I made some money on some I sold a lot as well you understand me I sell ones like I got the crowns they spend everybody who buy these they unlock a physical crown like it also can double as like a membership to an event or something or a discount or special merch so now I know how many people that's in that community that really locked rock with me like if 85 self show got they on NFT right the 85ers you know exactly how many people in there how many people spending where they at in the world they all in the community they speaking with each other in the discord that's building out your whole business foundation them people are locked in with each other on the grid I mean you going that room yo we bought to be in Chicago it's already 30,000 people in Chicago room you drop the ticket link in there it's sold you ain't never got to post it on Instagram because you got the community in a central place where you can communicate with them if you go on Instagram you drop a post maybe 3 to 4% of people go tap in so you got to send it through email you got to try to hit them through text you got to consistently try to put it out there so enough people see it they click the link and buy but the idea web 3 is that when we not asking Instagram to be the middle man we want to be able to own that audience and own that digital identity that's on there you understand me and put the internet on the blockchain so we don't have to go through nobody else for our own influence like it's crazy when you really think about Instagram like everybody creates content for Instagram Instagram keeps 100% of the proceeds you understand me the idea web 3 is that when you make your own content you get to sell it and you get to get paid right if somebody wants to throw an ad on there then that means that you now getting paid for that if somebody is sharing your content and let's say like if I got something viral and everybody use it as a real for their voice right now they getting paid for that let's say a million people didn't utilize my real my IP but I don't get paid because I dropped it on the platform and I don't own it so the idea web 3 is that nah everything you make everything you create you own it so when it gets monetized you get paid so like I start talking about NFTs because I just figured it was a good way that people can increase their business models and create communities out of it they had nothing to do with no 8 pictures none of that shit it's about the technology itself and what do it do you feel me and so like the whole web 3 space I feel like that's the space that if black people really educate themselves on you got the opportunity to create billionaires multi-millionaires now like if your children that's interested in gaming they can sit down and actually learn how to create their own guy it ain't even that hard but it's like we just got to know like I said we'll go back to intelligence making decisions in the right direction like most people don't know what they child job in the future will be 60 to 80 percent of the jobs ain't even been created they will have to be created out there imagination but for the most part it's like when you look at where the future going the asian so I studied this when we talk about wealth standards like if you look at the asian wealth standard one of the areas is utilize education family right and they always go to the top sectors and they jump in those top sectors the highest paid sectors and that's where they get their education in and whatever is coming next so if blockchain go being it gets with all our children jumping into blockchain so when blockchain pop up guess what who get paid we do guess what we selling that to your children right and then the cycle continues to go and that's how they were able to consistently grow and build and build and that's why China number one in the world now mmm well there you have it folks yeah it's all the game put that shit together black people coming up don't worry no we don't know where I mean listen we had a lot of ills that we took along the way getting here so it's like we talk about all the just black people stuff but at the end of the day we've been through a lot before this moment yeah it's all good though we coming hard we got good people like myself yourself and other people that go consistently put out things that's going to help people make better decisions drop your social media so they can catch up with you oh man they can find me at 19 underscore keys 19 underscore that's on IG on YouTube you plug in 19 keys that go to high level conversations we lock in there where you know we talk about health we talk about wealth aliens and shit sometimes we drop something in there we keep it entertaining I had to go back and re-list that's part of our best episode we only for that particular podcast we've been out like 60 days you understand me but all the episodes hit past six figures to seven figures on those so we're killing the game keep doing your own fucking thing man I know this is your first time in the trap don't let it be your last time man this was fun yeah yeah everybody come kick it just open discussion talk about whatever we want to that's how it goes to be what you say cat that's the one with Billy Carson man we went deep that one just hit two million a day man people loving that that's a cool classic yeah I mean I wanted ideas we talked about that you know we are the aliens you understand me like black folks if there was going to be some aliens I don't think about little green man a little great man I think about black people up there piloting ships and it was something that was done on the science channel where they basically did a study where if it was going to be aliens and we was to live out in space those who got darker skin can actually deal with the radiation more you understand me so aliens will have to be dark skinned they'll have to be heavy melanated then when there being no gravity the way you go come out the uterus you're not going to squeeze then you're going to be less dense because there's no gravity so you're going to be skinny so it's going to be skinny black people with big hairs in space so if I'm thinking about UFOs I'm thinking that skinny black people with big hairs up there piloting pulling down coming to see what we talking about but then when they come down here they say they were great it was great it could have been a space suit I don't claim to be an alien expert but I just think that I don't think of it in the terms of like some reptilian aliens I think in the terms like these are just people with advanced technology they probably look just like niggas they just got some little gills about it in the years and they ain't got no reason to come visit it it's probably humans that weren't born on earth from slave ship to mother ship that concept more so was talking about you know we start off on a slave ship where we don't own nothing and we own by everything you understand me when we talking about we don't own nothing that slave ship credit that's the systems the institutions everything in America and then the next stage of that once you get educated you go towards ownership you understand me you want to stop renting you want to get you a house but it also goes towards emotional ownership where you take accountability and ownership over all things of your life so you start to mature from slave ship to ownership then when you really get advanced you go from owning that emotion to controlling it like it ain't even mine no more but I have control over it you understand me I rule it and that's rulership and then it's like I don't even own these assets but I control them so you own nothing but you control everything so therefore you move on into rulership and then that final frontier is like with black people we get enlightenment and consciousness where we ain't worry about money we ain't worry about none of those things we get to literally just plan our imagination and that's where we live above things and we own that mother ship so that concept is something I utilize to teach us to kind of like put a vision in where we need to go but some people on the mother's farm on the slave ship some people on ownership some people on rulership but you got to make it our way to the mother ship if you want to get out of here big facts 19 keys man Clay need to show you they'll win 85 stop show we have this deal let's take a picture let's take a picture
