Was it In Krumah who was in the band? I'm not sure I feel like it was In Krumah was in the band Well, like One of the niggas who fucking set him up Or some shit like that too For real? Yeah And so, but like my point is is that like You gotta have outlets Like Rattles Like for me And niggas have always had outlets The Panthers had a band Yeah Like Malcolm was in the photography and shit And nigga always had a camera around his neck like But people always have these like one These very, you know Niggas want to talk about monolithics All that shit They reduce niggas, man Nigga, they reduce activists And organizers to these monoliths Like you're supposed to only do this one thing Yeah For your whole life And if you do anything outside of it Then you're not who you say you are Yeah And that's why I'm like Fuck that Niggas is just regular people You feel me? Like when you think about Regular people are fucking multi-dimensional But people put activists on this fucking Organizers on this weird pedestal Like niggas ain't just regular people You feel me nigga? Like Like in a post Niggas don't, you know what I mean? Yeah, in a post colonial world Nigga, we're still going to be making music We're still going to be playing sports We're still going to be make Newspapers and shit are still going to exist It's just we will now be We will have We have a collective ownership of these things Exactly But we won't be exploiting anymore But like niggas, if we bear arms and all get freed tomorrow I hope that I can still record a podcast on a Thursday And that's one thing I do I've been doing like I fuck a lot of reflection and shit And just really trying to reflect on like What is like my values? What do I want to be doing? And making sure I'm always in alignment With myself And I was really reflecting on my damn In a post revolution You know what I mean? Like In a revolutionary society After all this shit has gone on my damn I would actually be doing the same I would want to do the same thing I'm doing right now That's the goal Is telling stories through podcasting Teaching people History Like all those things Music Exactly All these things I would want to be doing on my damn All right I'm living in my alignment You know what I mean? Yeah, so for any of the folks that's Doing movement work Whatever work you're doing Shit, even if you're not quote-on-quote Contributing to the movement In the ways that people have Limited movement work too But like Ref, you Whatever you do I think it's important that you find Some type of creative outlet Some type of healing space Like whatever that just like allows You to get what you need to feel alive I recommend that for all people in the podcast That's as much as it has been A place for political education And community building It's also been an outlet that I really value And I appreciate the people who support our Patreon That you know gives us the space That gives us the financial support To make this a priority in our lives That's it And that's why I try to pay it for it That's why a lot of them Especially because of capitalism It's like you're forced to work Nine to five do all these things You know what I'm saying? And you can't do the things you focus on But Patreon allows us You feel me? To pay our bills, bruh And to support and focus on the shit that we want to do You know what I'm saying? That shit is hella big So if you're into Patreon, tap in If you are Patreon Appreciate the support Especially in a time where You know we're on the verge of another Depression, great depression You know where there's a lot of economic uncertainty Because of these capitalist motherfucking pigs So While you know Elon Musk becomes the richest Richest man in the world Richest man in the world While Jeff Bezos continues to make millions And all the non-white billionaires who I do Now I know that it continues to exploit Bro, these motherfuckers are not Poor folks Fuck all y'all And more wealthy under this pandemic Like that's why That nigga Fred Hampton Jr. He'd be calling that shit a pandemic By yes, a pandemic But a lot of this shit is planned out To a T Because these niggas is getting rich And it's not They're not rich I mean, they're already rich They're getting more and more and more wealth It's not about luck It's not If there's one thing we learned about capitalism Like you can It's a well-oiled machine You can predict what's gonna happen next Period So all these motherfuckers again More and more wealth It's a huge money grab going on You know So it's like Yeah, we have this vaccine That was supposed to be what operational warps be And they're letting literally Literally they're letting vaccines expire That it's supposed to help stop this pandemic They're doing that shit on purpose They're doing that shit on purpose Without a doubt Like I said, bro Like this shit is so predictable It's so fucking predictable So anything we're seeing right now is Planned Planned Some of these niggas But New Year 2021 Well, we got a You know, before we dive into the new year for us Both from like the content creation side And all the working shit We definitely wanted to use this Today's episode as an opportunity To kind of reflect on the year that Hella Black had Even as we like I think about revamping The the YouTube shit Like that happened in the middle of a fucking In the middle of the uprisings And like the pandemic and shit, right? In the middle of when we was organizing And yeah So like so much of the stuff has just been Kind of not repetitive But what's the fuck I've been having trouble finding my words all day today And now I'm just drawing a blank But It's just three o'clock and I've already had like Fucking six meetings But things become so routine You know that it's kind of hard to look back And like you just all be going through this episode You're going to get this guest We're going to send out the Zoom link You're going to edit it We're going to upload it to Patreon That like things just become repetitive as fucking out The downside of Things being repetitive is Each moment starts to lose its uniqueness If you let it And so that's why I was so excited to do this Because like even as I was reviewing the questions Like the outline and shit I'm like oh This chance This has a chance for me to like Really look back And think about what we've done this year Yeah Which is why Sometimes you can forget all the shit you did Bruh And you're damn near a racial work In the name of doing more work Or at least you know not giving yourself Like the credit type shit You know at least looking at like damn Man niggas accomplish this this year And that's what we're going to accomplish this next year You feel me That's how we're going to keep moving Yep But Yeah well it's A lot of A lot of dope shit That's coming out Yeah Definitely excited for For 2021 But looking back at Looking back at this year What is your top three episodes Top three episodes First one Definitely message to the people That was one that It was just very raw Organic I don't even know if we had an outline for it But this was at the height of the Rebellion going on After the murders of Breonna Taylor And George Floyd I don't know We just decided to record And really just gave out hella tactics So message to the people was for show mine I was at my top one just because of like I fucked with it just on the pure tactical level Like you know giving niggas game about protests Giving niggas game about how the police work at protests How they try to kettle you and shit And that was also an episode that did really well too In terms of numbers even though that's you know Not how I'm judging What my favorite episode is That was a solid one though I enjoyed that one Yeah we was just talking about shit Now I don't even think it was that long But it was like 35-40 minutes maybe And niggas just went in That was my top one What was your top one I mean you should just do all three now I'm gonna do my third Yeah Then the myth of black buying power With Dr. Jared Ball I like that episode because it's just always like It's like an evergreen shit It's always going to be relevant Because these black capitalists It's always going to try and co-opt the movement So that episode you know I think that that's an important episode To tap back in so he wrote a book around Around the myth of black buying power And basically you know it just talks about Damn near after every time there's a murder All these you know black capitalists Is like oh we need to bank black Oh we need to buy black Like bro that ain't gonna stop White supremacy that ain't gonna stop Seller colonialism and ain't gonna stop the violence That we face all the time You know niggas want to talk about all these new ownership groups for Reebok That ain't finna do shit for the material needs of our people bro It's finna do good for a selected few It's finna do good It's like It ain't you can't recycle the black dollar The black dollar don't fucking exist nigga The black it's just this Yeah So tapping with that episode Talks about you know Just how people try to use black capitalism As a way to co-opt movements That's episode 62 Yeah And then the other one was Revolutionary violence and pan-Africanism With my nigga Q When I was just a good conversation with a lot of game It was actually damn near hell Like it was dope looking back like On all these episodes I'm like damn we recorded a lot of shit Like they just kind of like almost gasped Ourselves in the sense I'm like damn Like we didn't even do that many episodes I'm like bro we did hell of a shit Like when I be looking at Patreon and be like Damn we gotta get some shit out like this I'm like well shit if they This shit as a as it stands exists as a syllabus Like if you chose to go back You know I'm saying like even one listen isn't an isn't enough You can listen to an episode one time and it not be enough Listen to two times and it not be enough Like if you really sit up there and listen to this shit that be happening For on most of the episodes I ain't gonna say all of our shit is just fire But I'm saying like We I think yeah I fall under that category of fucking like Not really looking at the impact of the work and all that it entails Yeah for sure Yeah because even for myself like You know I was giving a talk on abolition And uh I went back and listened to the Merriam Cop episode I'm like and that helped like give me another refresher I'm like damn we always need refreshers Yeah You feel me it's like you could study this shit study this shit study Should be you always got to go back and restudy it That's how you know I think that's the element from like the I don't know if it's the co-opting of Political education but like people think that like you're supposed to read these books One time and then like you get it Or you post to hear this theory one or two times and then you get it And I think that the concept of learning has just been so Fucked up You know it's capitalism. It's so fucked up. I mean that that's like very capitalist learning system Oh, you got a first grade. Okay. You know what first grade you got a second grade. Okay. You know what second grade And that's how people have approached radical political education and I like bro like Nico we need to do a better job of reposting our episodes like a Tap in with this as opposed and that's I think that's media does that too right like both of us having type of journalistic and music backgrounds, you know, it's like always on to the next thing and it's like No, my negative job listen to what we were talking about To fully understand and to retain this in a way that will allow in a shift in consciousness and a shift in practices you have to You have to read this shit over and over and over again Like we had even the books that I that I when I'm trying to develop My shit. It's like I'm reading a book from this person But like they're all saying the same things in different ways and you got to be able to Drive that shit home Thousand percent and you always got to go back. It's like You know, I view books and youtube speeches and old, you know archives Like that's like a revolutionary bible to me type of shit like I'll go back like I'm about to give a speaking engagement I'm gonna go listen to Kwame Turei for an hour I'm gonna listen to the same lecture three times Just to make sure that shit is falling through me when I go speak You know, I mean, so I think that should is it's super important It's to to be always be revisiting this shit because you you know, you can't forget it It's like writing you feel me all we all learn cursive But who's the last time you use cursive it might take you a little bit Longer to remember how to write in cursive in shit like that It's like a language if you don't use a language, you're gonna lose it facts, you know facts Same with this radical shit if you ain't always immersed in it But uh, yeah, what was your top episodes? uh, I think For I will put the one the most recent ones that we did as I'll lump those two together both are kind of like interviews last testimonial type shits. Um Yeah, we did record that last year, huh? Yeah, yeah, we just dropped it. We just dropped it. We dropped yours more recently, but we recorded those last year. Um and I think It was just a really dope opportunity for people to Get to know us And I think once you really get to understand somebody you can see how they ended up where they were Uh, and I think it was really dope to like dive into our family history And the places that You know the places and people with moments that impacted who we were that Have as a you know result led to who we are today. Yeah, so there goes. I will like lump those two together um It's fucking hard to choose. I know it's only But that shit was hard. I was legit like scrolling through the catalog. I'm like writing one down Which yeah, my my another favorite one was one we did with Dilo um, you know The fire camp the fire camps and mass incarceration Um, I think it was so dope. That was such an organic episode Yeah, like I enjoyed that shit. So it was one of our longer ones two that she was like two hours That's when I know we catching a vibe, you know, I'm saying when I'm just get hella long Um, and not to say that we don't really get to vibe with other people But you know, sometimes we're on like time crunches and now it's one of the ones We weren't on a time crunch like we had just had some free time And we we got to we got to bang that one out But I enjoyed and it was also like a follow-up conversation. Yeah, that you had, you know, that was saucy as well it was like It was having a conversation at dinner and it just so happened to turn to a podcast episode and You know Dilo and Ryan are really close But he probably don't remember the first time I met him was over the phone You feel me like on a fucking three-way call with Ryan With him and Ryan and Adam, which is hella wild. So like that's like to know that like That's how my first interaction I first show probably saw him as a kid and shit, you know But like I was busy fucking me and Keenan Renault was fucking around, you know, but For someone who've I've been been able to develop a relationship with over the last, you know Three or four years since he'd been home and for us like really break bread And dive into that conversation and get to know him more and his experiences I really valued that one and then I was going to say a Q1 But I'm gonna go with Jim's episode Because that's that's somebody me and Jim have a lot of talks and and We text each other and send each other different documentaries that we think we should watch or different little interviews that we that we think We need to be looking at And so I'm that's someone who I've gotten hella books and nigga ain't read them yet. I ain't gonna say he's not gonna never read them But he ain't read them yet. And so Next time I got sick I didn't really bought this nigga books He filled me in just like I don't even know if he still has them up like this, but that's You you get to see like I mean this is you know who checked me on this shit was Ty actually Because I think I was saying something about a houses person Being like taking advantage of and not being able to speak on Day situations. I mean he was like nah nigga, they be knowing exactly what the fuck going on You feel bad to kind of check myself and so Like that's something I know that we've checked ourselves on Over the last few months is like bro We don't have to get these big thought leaders on our podcast to talk about this shit Niggas around the corners niggas in our own in our actual community who could Attest to what the fuck is going on. They might not be using hella buzz words They're gonna be able to tell you about it might not even be on twitter You know they're gonna be able to tell you about surveillance You know I'm saying like Even when I got sales talking to my nigga josh and he was like, yeah, bro We need somewhere we got our own sovereignty and we got complete control over ourselves We get to govern ourselves. We get to protect ourselves. We get to control the means of distribution Da-da-da. I'm like nigga. You told my pan africanism. You feel me nigga might not know the word But he knew he was describing it. You feel me? So I'm like, all right This and that gym episode the gym between gym and dealer like that shit drove home the importance of just We always talked about Representation or like passing the mic and giving platforms to people and it's like that's what I want to do on this pot And I think for so long we kind of Both consciously and subconsciously felt the need to like turn the bigger voices to get people to listen to what we got to say You know, because if it's like, oh, we got the homie so-and-so you know People it's playing a game of fucking media and you know, celebrity culture Like are people going to be more prone to listen to mary and caba? Rightfully so talk about the need for prisons to be abolished Or are they going to be more prone to listen to this nigga dealer who just spent 10 talk about it? You know, like I don't know mary more probably like y'all should talk to this nigga But the the masses as a result of celebrity culture are going to lean towards Miriam because of her platform and the work that she's done, rightfully so, right? But it's just I think I want to do a better job of Passing the mic to niggas who you know Can't they can provide context and they can provide value to the conversations just Because it might not be the way that you wanted to happen, but their lived experience is valuable enough Yeah, nah, I think We kind of feel fill into that reactionary shit They're like, you know what I mean? Like of having oh, we have to have the the the best thought leader quote-unquote, you know what I mean and That's not the case at all. Yeah, those people are important and they offer a lot of contributions to the work Thousand percent, but the people also, you know directly affected and experience it day in and day out, bro They they know what the fuck going on. Oh, yeah You know, I mean most definitely. Yeah, and so those are those are my My top I think as we continue like thinking about this like kind of year and review shit. I think what would be valuable for folks Then maybe it might be people who trying to start their own shit, you know, their own podcast They own whatever As independent content creators I think it'd be dope if we talked about what some of our setbacks were Yeah, from last year. Yeah Shit, I mean consistency always hard, you know, I think you know setbacks oftentimes is A result of my opinion for us. It's a result of having have what others should go on outside of the podcast So naturally it's all you gonna have to adjust enough Hello black is the one thing you can adjust type shit usually which is for us like, okay We can always push this back because it's our shit type shit It get the back burner sometimes, you know, I mean so I would say Yeah that combined with a lot of uh, you know We experienced a lot of surveillance over the summer You know what I mean a lot of different Yeah, it's a lot of shit a lot of surveillance Um from speaking that protest and helicopter's falling to polleys not going to people's doors and shit You know, I think a lot of those things can impact the way The amount of space you have to record a show Yeah, you know what I mean, let's do and then also to me. So I'm immersed in organizing like at one point in coville. We was outside three days a week feeding people You feel me? It was what almost a thousand meals a week. We was giving up really outside too Like while still working and niggas had a nine to five But you know like yes, so I think that the setbacks was a result Of doing other work that is very important. You know, so I think someone said like oh, it's damn Very hella hard to have a podcast if you're organizing You're like damn it's real hard to write a book if you organize shit like that It's like yeah, it is but it's possible. It's possible. I'm saying but it is just hella hard there are some people who Like and I understand I understand that critique that that's also a way to jab at niggas like we know You're not doing no work on the side. You feel me like a lot of these niggas all they do Is the podcast and take a space via talking and for some we understand right like context is important some people because of Abilities or whatever are This is their only option which I commend but those aren't the people who on online acting like that's the most important Part of work and making themselves be hella visible on that right like that critique is real Like how you got this time to take up all this space and to organize, right? Which so I understand that but for us Niggas do actually damn near You know be on the verge of mental breakdowns on the verge of physical fatigue on the verge of burnout as a result of You know living in one of the most expensive cities In the states as a result of Being committed to the work Like that shit really do take a take a toll on niggas and force you to make decisions at any given moment Especially when we talk about this being a vessel of self-care and creative expression, right and self-expression Like sometimes we literally have to choose what's best for us What we've got to choose was best for the community and for the the organization the people over was best for us That's not exclusive to us my nigga Like, you know, that's just what come with niggas know what they sign up for Niggas know what they sign up for but I'm just saying like that's literally one of the setbacks It's having to constantly make that decision like as you're gonna put self And not self of like personal gain but like self of like what you actually need to maintain and keep going further over Showing up for You know Your people yeah Whether that people be the people you're serving or you know the the folks that you know comrades and the people that you've committed You know to doing this work with yeah And I think also niggas been producing a whole other show outside of this too Yeah, you know some multiple jobs multiple responsibilities That's the worst part about this shit is I had if I If I stopped doing like I could I could easily stop doing a job But not only will my quality of life be impacted You know the people who I support via Whatever money I'm lucky enough to earn on an any given month will be will be impacted You know, so like that's the shit that again Forces niggas to other people you're working with that is getting money from same shit you getting money from Yeah, so that's where like making a decision on the podcast shit fucks up too because it's like well shit I got to do this other work But then I need to do this work so that niggas can keep getting money from patreon I was talking to ann about that because that's why they kind of Are like stepping away from from twitter and patreon being like having that being forced to create like capitalism just puts It just makes everything harder. Yeah, like it makes everything harder, but Yeah, that's been a setback as having to choose so much, but I think now You know, both of us have gotten really good at like scheduling And while the work hasn't cut back at least now we're a lot more organized and we have some help in different areas Right, like even with the organization building our roles there and like going on the team Going on the team for hella black. Exactly. So I think We growing yeah, I wear things were a setback. I see us making Clear clear changes like we decided like, okay, we need to have this schedule for recording to make shit work And here, you know, it's only seven days into the month, but we stuck to I ever be days 11 days into the book. Yeah We already went over. What are we most excited for it's speaking to like guests and people we had on Who is someone you want to get back on the show? probably san cofa q Those are definitely two folks who want to get back on the show Yeah, I want to get jim back on and just see like did he read those books? And have a book review with jim like really dive into some more analysis you feel me Who else would I want to get all Left as always. Yeah left always just like damn near give it at this point.

She just texted me She just takes me we gotta get her back on Who else? Gotta get dust on I haven't had that thing going We gotta get kelly on. Oh, yeah We gotta get a bunch of folks from coral damn near We did the fucking like pbo. Was that last year? No, that was 2019 probably It's just kind of mashed up at some point. We're gonna have some fire guests for y'all. Yeah, we're gonna have a lot of good content so patreon.com So I said watch and patrons. I want to hear what y'all favorite episode What y'all top three was too. So go to our patreon Drop a comment You know, let us know what y'all favorite episodes were Fuck with us, man And then we got to get um Should we I mean we sent them to some pbl kind of year review shit, right? Yeah For those who've been following That's on social media. You got to see us do a year in review for people's programs people's breakfast Oakland We did damn near we're like well, we should have updated the stats because That slideshow stats that we sent over was like three weeks Prior to to the year ending. So also nigga for hella black, bro. We was in the top 100 podcast Yeah, we didn't even say that top 100 on society and culture For apple podcast higher Spotify top 150 You know, if it's all got that liberal shit at the top, but you know, we we coming for niggas this year, man Full court full court press. But yeah People's programs. We did a lot of a lot of shit. Um a lot of shit that we Like had planned out to even to change in the name Like it was always a goal to make it people's programs We were always under people's programs. We was always under people's programs like behind the close scenes. Yeah But you know transitioning our name from people's breakfast Oakland, which is always, you know, still exists, but Changing our name to people's programs To encompass all the different survival programs that we're building out Append in revolution, you know, so we got what the garden Community education program bail legal support, you know, so we're doing multiple programs You feel me multiple programs and uh continuing to build out new ones That, you know, support our people pending revolution, you know, and this this is the process of revolution too is creating that alternative to this state you feel me we one of the few Yeah, we're one of the few black groups in Oakland that is actually, you know Black radicals and that is actually independent of the state. Yeah As much as we can be, you know, as we and so Yeah, I'm excited bro. Like we we build out some some new infrastructure. We learned a lot uh so much So much of the organizing I fight this year as much was Proactive a lot of it might have been reactive. Um, and it was so much We kind of just had to figure out why we were going and that's why I'm excited. Like it was a big learning year for myself Uh, I think that's the truth for much of core team and probably all of our volunteers it was for show a big learning year and so now I'm excited to just implement what we've learned and continue to To develop new programs continue to be more efficient more effective and and really Uh turn Oakland to a place That can lead by example of what it looks like for people To invest in one another to protect one another and provide the resources that we need to move from a state of survival To thriving I'm really excited and I I know I'm I'm committed to that I feel the group is committed as well We did with january 20,000 meals 500 plus pairs of shoes Backpacks for students come on. 9000 plus hygiene packs backpacks for students like prayer clothes all this shit And so thank you to everybody that supported us the shit would not be possible 18,000 mass 18 out of mask Oakland. Yeah And Sam another thing I want to I know it's you know, it's hard to remember everybody to be supporting our shit Uh, it's hard as fuck Getting so just if anyone's we have if there's anyone that we didn't leave out on purpose.
