Candice Owens Dismantles Ice Spice, Sexyy Red & the State of Hip-Hop Culture
Is the very fabric of African American culture unraveling before our eyes? This episode pulls no punches as we grapple with the complex and sensitive subject of our community's moral compass, where sensationalism and explicit content seem to permeate the airwaves. We discuss the sexualized messages from certain female rappers and don't shy away from the hard truths. We discuss Candace Owens' pointed critique of the cultural decline despite differences in political ideology. From respecting our ancestry to the reality of today's influences, we hold a mirror up to the actions and messages that corrode our spiritual and cultural integrity.
We also dive into the recent antics of Curtis Sliwa of the Guardian Angels and scrutinize the sensationalism surrounding their actions and the potential danger of their vigilantism.
Brothers and sisters, why y'all? It's one night, it's one night, it's one night, it's one night.
Speaker 2:It's one night. Give me a moment, would you, friend? I've never been up to a health life thoughts before. Welcome to the Only One Might podcast Barge around in Brooklyn Dray.
Speaker 3:Holding it down tonight. The guys are all right, I'm gonna get you. So yeah, man, I want to talk about what's happening with our people. What's going on with our Our folks Seeing some things that we don't like. There's a lot of stuff that we see as of late Interviews, that we've seen People like Kurt Franklin, you know we have A lot of these female rappers the ice spices and the sexy reds and things like that and the kind of you know make you think Are we really going into this Social decline, especially amongst our people?
Speaker 4:We're going backwards.
Speaker 3:A lot of our people are sitting in these interviews Just saying all type of outlandish stuff and doing all type of outlandish stuff on stage. You know we've had this conversation before you and I.
Speaker 4:It's been an ongoing conversation. Let's just say this also it's the disappointment that we have, like we're trying to find Good stuff where we can talk about African American people. We don't care, we talk good about stuff about any Group of people, but it seems like it's just so much stuff With us lately that's just so Destructive to our culture, our spiritual culture, destructive to Just regular culture. You know, things that we were raised upon, the rules and ethics that that are just no longer being Upheld, the ridiculous of the things that have been going on right now Church, just even in the Carnal sense of the word, our music or what used to be, you know, black music or soul music, stuff like that, the lack of creativity, the more emphasis on sex, it's just like ridiculous. This is like soft core pornography now.
Speaker 3:What is it is, and also not just in the presentation but in the actual lyrics itself. It doesn't have to make sense. The most raunchy, disgusting thing you can possibly say and put a beat behind it and everybody will love it.
Speaker 4:I was saying this years ago. It doesn't take a lot to make a hit these days, Like you just said. I said this years ago Just say something really nasty, Put a nice beat with it, and the most disrespectful thing you can say could say something disrespectful About God. Say something disrespectful About something sexual. That just totally degrade yourself and you'll have a number one hit 10th sweet day already.
Speaker 3:Candice on was actually they'd speak on this Now for all of y'all that's out here listening. Do we agree with everything that Candice on would say? Not at all.
Speaker 4:Not at all.
Speaker 3:But what happens is In these last couple of topics she was pretty much right In terms of she was saying that we're kind of like going backwards but we're going to get into that momentary Say a broken clock is right.
Speaker 3:Two times a day, Two times a day. You know what I mean. But if you're going to be a messenger, I mean that's questionable. Maybe it's the messenger that's saying it and it's like we automatically reject what she's saying because of past things, as she said. But if you know, Right is right and truth is truth.
Speaker 4:You got to respect it. The thing about Candice on is that I agree with her on a lot of things, you know. I mean because we actually are a lot of black people, are somewhat, have a conservative mind state and have conservative ideologies and our culture that we just hold to. The problem that I have with Candice on is Is that, you know, on the other side of it, she kind of throws out these Good rules and ethics and things like that and then she tells us, like Donald Trump is supposed to be our savior and that's where we have to. We have to draw the line at it's Republican party. And this Democratic party is equally Evil and destructive and I don't think it sells anybody a bill of goods, and I think that's the problem that I have.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I mean, and most people would agree. But, like I said, we'll get into that in a little bit. But we wanted to Also go back talk about Interview that Kirk Franklin had on Club Shaysha. In terms of you know, people who supposed to be Representing the church, supposed to be representing Christianity, like the new faces of this Thing is pretty much no Different than what you see in the world. You know, and this is a prime example Now on the Club Shaysha's Program, he talked about how he Crafts his songs and he does it naked. Why do you express that To another man? I have no idea.
Speaker 4:But um, he's going commando why he's writing church music songs.
Speaker 3:And his words and you guys will hear. It Is not one sock Is on his foot when he's sitting at his piano, at a certain piano, on a certain bench, and he's naked. He's expressing his to Shana Sharp. Now, there's some people that are still holding this thing Toes down, and one of them is this guy here, bishop Patrick Wooten. Now I've seen a couple of his videos when he's actually, you know, speaking against Homosexuality, things of that nature, just calling out wrong. Do I know all of Wooten's politics? Absolutely not. I'll say if the truth is the truth, I agree with the truth in this particular, in this particular space.
Speaker 4:We're not trying to promote him, no no, not talking about him. We don't know all of his ideology and what he believes in, but we're talking about this one particular topic that he's speaking on, and you know this is just Mantle this is just Mantle.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I said, we stumbled upon A couple of his clips and, again, like I said, so you know, everything is there. We're not promoting him. We don't go to his church, he's not our pastor or anything like that, so we're not promoting any of it, but we're just saying, in this particular space, right now, on this particular topic, what he touched on was actually correct. So what I want you guys to do Is just listen to this and he's going to give his take On what happened with the Kurt Franklin situation. So check this out.
Speaker 6:Kurt Franklin said this and I'm going to preach to him and I'm going to preach to Timothy, on Club Shashi.
Speaker 7:So many songs that have blessed people have been written, but naked Next question Really. But not one sock on. I strayed out the bed but if you come over to my house, don't sit on that piano bitch. Sit on that piano bitch. That piano bitch ain't had a number Cheeks on that piano bitch.
Speaker 6:For Jesus. Next question, Now number one. I failed to see what was so funny. What was so? Funny. What I would have said to a guy who would have said that to me is hey man, tmi brother. Hold on hold on. That's too much.
Speaker 4:I hate to stop him, man, because he's going to go the right way on this one man. But he's so right, man, he's so right. Who does that? What kind of Male does that to another male?
Speaker 3:When you feel comfortable. What about me? Says that this is a comfortable conversation to have with me.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I would take offense to.
Speaker 3:I would too.
Speaker 4:I would why would you feel so comfortable to speak to me in this kind of tone? You know, I mean yeah, yeah. And then Shannon's shots reaction was real crazy. Like he laughing like you said joke and it's funny. Like again, what's so funny about somebody talking to you like that? Yeah, you let it go, man.
Speaker 3:I just had to say yeah, I knew what you was going with it. That's why I was.
Speaker 6:Information. Hey brother, where you going with that? Am I right, doc? Just am I just hey, man, whoa what you saying.
Speaker 4:What you saying.
Speaker 6:And what preacher, what person who has any respect for the process of songwriting, writing songs for Jesus, his wife, family, for the ministry, for the process, what person would say such a thing and then say if you come to my house, don't sit on that piano stool what. You got to say something because this can't pass off as Alright. Okay, wouldn't you always say stuff? Why aren't you?
Speaker 3:and that's a good point to make right there. Why? Why are we not said and I'm glad that that was said, because why are we not saying anything about this?
Speaker 5:stuff.
Speaker 3:And look, you know, we use this platform for what we use it for in terms of bringing things like this to light and ask you the same question why is everybody not upset about this? You know certain topics we have. Why is everybody not upset about this?
Speaker 4:and lately you know if anybody's listening to our podcast lately it seems like we've been dealing with this stuff back to back for people disrespecting God and you know this is something that holds near and dear to our hearts and you got to say something like why, why do you, why do y'all just feel so comfortable, you know, just Talking about God, talking about the gospel, talking about spiritual music, and just being like just Nasty and disgusting, what? What makes you just feel so comfortable just talking about Spiritual things or just being disgusting? Even if that's something that you did or something like that, why even say it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, what makes you feel comfortable even discussing it?
Speaker 4:said. And then you know also, just, I mean, I've I've been done with Kurt Franklin a long time and every time I see his Kurt Franklin up on the stage somewhere he looked like a black woman and one of them old type business suits in Manhattan or something like that he's doing showing cleavage. He's a grown man, you got you usually got on a blazer with no shirt on. It's tight as all outdoors His stomach is out one part of it and the cleavage is out the top. And he got on pants. If he, that's so fine, that's so tight. If he, if he fought a bubble of roll down his leg.
Speaker 3:To is like if you watch his shows, he's always either jarring, grinding up on somebody or you know I mean Listen, man, if you just want to go ahead and do the thing, just stop making gospel music and go do the thing.
Speaker 3:You know, just all do what you're gonna do, man. I mean, he's, he's a habitual on step in terms of he's kind of like low-key speaking against the church. Oh, it's too many rules, you know, we have to loosen up a little bit. We got a be able to get out into the world and all that, and it's like.
Speaker 4:They think this is people who follow the Bible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, these are men of God. They think this. A lot of people are not speaking out against these things. You know, if you a believer like, you're getting rolled over.
Speaker 4:You know and by no means do I mean I'm able to speak, you know, for no minister or nothing. I'm nothing. I have no way of, you know, talking and defending these things. I'm just a simple person that believes in God to get upset when I see certain things like this, and that's, that's the only reason that we're even speaking. And this is just a man conversation. This ain't even us going to no spiritual or pulling out no scripture or nothing like that. It's just a man man conversation like why do y'all feel so comfortable with disrespecting our God?
Speaker 4:Yeah you know, I mean, and I can't even say your God no more, because the way I disrespect them and it can't be your God, right, it can't be the God you believe, it can't be the God of the Bible or the scriptures. You know, I mean, it's y'all. Y'all is just outrageous with it. What on, go ahead and put it. Finish playing the clip.
Speaker 6:See, it's things like that. I could never, not that, I was ever a big fan, but I could never buy a Record by someone who would say such a thing about his own music. Now, whether it's true or not, I'm sure there are songwriters that have done worse. I'm sure he's not the first one. That's not the point. They at least had the decency to not say it, At least Because my brother now, if I, if I put it on and listen to it now I got to think a thought that ain't natural for me to think but was he naked when he wrote that one?
Speaker 6:What do I care about? See, that's the devil, and I would like to believe out of conductor myself in such a manner where he would have known not to go there in the first place. It seemed like we're constantly lowering the bar.
Speaker 3:That's an important statement, yeah. In terms of not just this situation, but in terms of our people in general? Are we constantly lowering the bar? You know I mean we have.
Speaker 4:You know we've lost shame. There is no shame in in a lot of these black entertainers now. You know whatever they got to do to sell something if they got a, stick their finger in themselves on TV. If they got a shake, they butt on TV. If they got a, you know they got to slap their own mama. They'll do whatever they have to do in order to sell a record and like how far do you go and shaming yourself and disrespect.
Speaker 4:You know there's some some things that you know us growing up in the hood you know, way before we even followed church or anything like that you just held yourself to a certain ethic and a code because you said yourself my mom can't see this. You know my people can't see this, my friends can't see this. You know what I mean. So you didn't put yourself. I mean just certain ethics and codes that we go by. We said now we, you know this ain't going down like this. You know, no matter how much money is involved here, we're not going to lose our soul here. You know what I mean. It's sad.
Speaker 3:It is, it is. I'm going to round them off with him bringing this picture of little Nas X and Billy.
Speaker 4:Porter, it's another disgusting beast. Well, both of them is horrible. Both of them, yeah, both of them are horrible.
Speaker 3:And so this is him speaking about little Nas X and Billy Porter taking this really crazy picture.
Speaker 6:Show them the picture of Nas and that other guy. Now look at this. Now they're standing there with the Bible. That's the Bible Porter and little Nas. This is the black man for you. Look at him. Look at him. This is the black man. This is what this is what. Look at this With the Bible. Now you couldn't have paid him to stand there with the Quran.
Speaker 3:Another important fact, important. Another important fact and we've brought this, we've brought this up on several occasions on this show is that the stuff that they do that's disrespectful. They would never do it to anybody's other. You know religion. They would never do it to anybody else's culture. That culture wouldn't allow you to disrespect an entirety of a culture. If you had, say, there's several Jewish artists and actors and everything like that, it's only. But so far they want to go.
Speaker 4:You couldn't have paid them to stand there with no Quran. You couldn't have paid them to stand there with no nation the Islamic nation, the Islam symbol. You couldn't have got them to stand there with no 5% nation symbol. I mean any kind of symbol. I mean, I'm just talking about the local stuff that we know about, but I mean, if you're still there with some sort of star, David or something like that, I put it to you like this If Billy Porter and Nas X was holding a copy of Mind Conf and taking a picture with it.
Speaker 4:They'd be scared, they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4:They wouldn't do it they wouldn't do it. You couldn't have gave them millions of dollars to stand there and do it. Anything that you know when it comes to the disrespect of the God, of the Bible, or when it comes to black people, black people don't have no problem, white people don't have no problem, other ethnics don't have no problem Just totally disrespecting the Bible and the culture of black people. And it's because we, as black people, we accept this kind of stuff. And Billy Porter is a total disgrace and disgusting individual man. And this kid, nas X man, every time he gets the opportunity he does something to disrespect the Bible and God. You know what I mean? I don't even know. You know who makes people like this. You know what I mean the devil.
Speaker 3:I mean. Well, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 4:God makes all you means, but you know what I mean, but what kind of devil is in you to you know, to come up with this kind of thing? He's basically standing with almost like a like when he looks like a show girl or something like that.
Speaker 3:He got his thighs and cheeks showing pretty much. Look at another man who looks just as sweet as he does.
Speaker 3:Pearls and stuff like that Pearls and funny looking hair and feathers in their hairs. I mean, like, like he said, this is what black people is. Do you see white folks doing this? And I'm not saying it's in no term of, you know, having a racist bone out, Do you see? Let's look at any counterpart, white, Asian, whatever, If it, and this is just what. This is what I'm noticing, especially when you look at any of these events with these red carpets. You know you take a person like Billy Porter, All right. Billy Porter says he's a homosexual, All right.
Speaker 4:I know what you're saying.
Speaker 3:One of the kids, the guy from the big bang theory, let's just say that, the guy that played a show, he's a homosexual. But let me get this point on he's a homosexual. They show up to the same red carpet. Billy Porter will find a need to put on the most flowy as dress he can possibly do and twirl around on a red carpet. Meanwhile, Sheldon got on the tuxedo and, just like you know, hey man, that's a nice suit. Yeah, he gave. He's gay.
Speaker 4:But it is what you know. He's showing up dressed like you know, like he's supposed to be an award show. Yeah, and I'm not co-signing in any way.
Speaker 3:Any way, I don't care.
Speaker 4:Excuse me, I don't care how you dress because I don't co-sign that lifestyle at all. However, and this is what I said before and maybe I'm wrong and maybe you know you got, maybe you can correct me, maybe one of our listeners will correct me, but this is what I believe. You know, there are certain men in society or certain ethnic groups in society that look like manly men, african men, russian men, irish men, you know, and I think there's like such a something where it's like, constantly, we want to make black men look like this. Why is it always black men? You know what I mean and I think and I'm not saying this but I think society kind of views black men as like an alpha male or, you know, so-called alpha male. That's what they want to say, and I think it's important to like emasculate the most masculine, or what they perceive as the most masculine, in order to push this agenda.
Speaker 3:Well, if they can get, if they can get us to agree with, you know, homosexuality drag, cleaning, transsexuals, whatever it is, if they can get our people to shift to that narrative and say, all right, well, we accept it, we go with it, we go with it, you know, there goes the rest of the world.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and it's sad to say, because that's where it's going.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That's where it's going. A lot of black people that you see now are very accepting to this and again, this is another thing that's going on right now. There's a big movement right now with a lot of people saying, no, we're not good with it. You know what I mean. We we spiritual, we believe in God. This is not something that we believe in. You know what I mean. Nobody's telling nobody to go out and gay bash or stop you from working, because this is something that you do, or whatever the case may be. But, on the same token, what we're saying as of now is like yo, this is not what we agree with as far as lifestyle is concerned. We don't want this forced down our throats. We don't want, every time I turn on some sort of black movie, there's a gay representation in every black movie that I watch. You know what I mean Homosexual representation. There's not even black representation in every white movie that I watch. Yeah, you know what I mean. There's not even, you know, many different cultures and stuff like that that are not even represented in other movies and entertainment that you know I watch.
Speaker 4:So why is this always so prevalent? It's like sometimes you'll watch a movie right, and it's like, maybe, if it's nothing but a minute, they got to squeeze this in there and it has nothing to do with the actual show or the movie. It's just like I got to squeeze this in there, but you can't squeeze nothing in there about black lives matter. You can't squeeze nothing in there about the Palestinians being killed out on the Gaza Strip. You know what I mean? Anything, when you squeeze anything like that in there, then it's considered to be offensive and wrong. But this stuff is in everything, in everything, in everything. There's nothing that you. Sometimes I'm watching a movie. I'm like, oh, this is a great movie, I love it. And then all of a sudden, they squeezed that in there and I'm like what was the purpose of that? Right, what was the purpose of it? Man, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3:But uh, yeah, man, and people that are listening to this and you're thinking, oh well, these guys are just on here, just gay bash and whatever it's like. No, no, we just want you to see the agenda we want to see. We want to see you open your eyes to the fact that these things are being crammed on our throats to children Everything they can possibly listen to, sing your cartoons, listen to all this crazy stuff. It's just the fact that it seems very prevalent that you know our people are accepting of foolishness these days.
Speaker 4:Like I said, like I said sometimes before, you know if you're homosexual or if you're on the other side of this coin looking at things. And, uh, I'll say this when you're speaking to a person who believes in God, you're speaking to us. We have, you know, a script. We know a scripture that says that we can't strengthen the hand of evil doers. And I'm not trying to quote scripture and all this other stuff like that, God knows, I'm not trying to do that, but I say all that. I have to say that when we think about God, we think about God as something. Or we know God to be a spirit, we know him to be something that we can't even fathom our minds around and we believe that if we do wrong, or if we, you know, we co-sign something that's wrong, we believe that we can't get into heaven. We believe that, you know, if we do wrong, we'll go to hell, and all this other stuff like that.
Speaker 4:So when somebody is a Christian and they're telling you that they can't accept this kind of stuff, it's not about somebody hating you or wanting to destroy you or beat you up or, you know, talk down to you or anything like that. It's just that we can't do this. We want to go to heaven. We want to see God in peace. You know what I mean. So we certain things that we can't agree with. You know what I mean. Certain things in my lifestyle is wrong. You know what I mean. It might not it definitely ain't that but you know what I mean. We have to stay true to our code if we want to see God in peace. Man, and that's simply what it is. Man, it ain't about somebody just out here trying to just hurt somebody and all that other stuff like that you know, or say here and just get disrespectful on the internet or whatever like that. It's simply about we believe in God. That's it.
Speaker 3:That's it and all for this. We're going to move on, even to the sisters, because this even affects you. You know what I mean. And again, we talked about Candice Owens earlier in the show. Was, you know? Just to let you know? We're loading up on it and we pulled up a clip of Candice Owens.
Speaker 3:Now, to be honest with you again, do we agree with everything that Candice Owens say? No, you know what I mean, but certain things that is right, you got to. You got to go ahead and address that and put some light on it. So, as of the last couple of episodes of a show, she's kind of been going in the same direction, like, are we kind of lowering the bar? We, you know, are we seeing like a decline in society, a society falling down, when we have a lot of these females who are on, you know, instagram, a lot of stage performances and things like that, and Candice Owens, some of the most raunchiest, craziest stuff you know.
Speaker 3:Before in the show we spoke about both ice spice and sexy red.
Speaker 3:Since then, candice Owens has done a show about sexy red and you know, in the interest of time I won't get too much into that, but in that particular show she was talking about how sexy red had a baby shower at the time and the baby shower was just as raunchy. She was taking like pictures and had like a believe her baby daddy had on a mass and had his face on her butt, cheeks and stuff like this, and the girls were rapping and slapping each other on the behind. This is a baby shower. And so she was basically saying like yo, this is disgusting, all right, right, right.
Speaker 3:However, you know, I've seen a lot of comments. People was actually agreeing with it and saying, like yo, you know, as a black woman, I might not agree with everything that you say, but this is, you know, what you're saying here is right, so fast forward. If she had a picture of a sexy red in the hospital I don't know if she had just gave birth or whatever the case is, but the picture that she took in the hospital was crazy and she was saying, like you know, you just finished giving birth.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean. Again, are we falling as a society or we blowing the bar as black people, all right? And so she kind of pointed out that a purse, the person that is actually pushing this stuff out, that you know pushing out sexy rise music, is a black man. It's black man, it's a black man you know what I mean who's making millions of dollars off of this check and, to be honest with you, as she said to her credit, these are songs that he won't let his kids listen to.
Speaker 4:He looked like a square.
Speaker 3:Well, that's the thing. He grew up pretty affluent, you know what I mean. So you know it's not like he's straight in the hood and you know he pulled her out of the hood and they looked at this as a money making tool and I personally look at it as this is some type of thing to put out here to get, you know, a lot of young women off the square. You know what I mean. And so again, we're all goes back to what we was just talking about, because in society, where goes the women, so goes the men. Men do things to impress women, Women do things to get men. You know, in that regard, we all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3:Right. So if you see you know ratchet crap, then pretty much men is going to be attracted to ratchet crap, which kind of brings them down a couple of notches to you know what I mean? Watch anything that's on that deals with like loving hip hop and all that. Look out a minute. You know what I mean. Look out a minute.
Speaker 4:I said, like I told you before, man, like the edutainment. The edutainment, like I said, because, Carol, when you said the edutainment of black people, man, or the entertainment of black people, as of late man, it's just so discussed.
Speaker 4:The diet is bad you know, diet is horrible, man, Like if you ain't watching Love and Hip Hop or one of these ratchet TV shows or whatever case may be, the ratchet music is on you dancing or looking at these, which I consider to be. You know, they're not even talented man, it's almost like they're. It's like a race to say the most disgusting thing that you can say out of your mouth, and that's just what it is. It's like all I gotta do is find something nasty to say. You know what I mean Give it all you, you, you, you. It's not even. It's not even hip hop, no more. It's not even like you know poetry of words and stuff like that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:You know these young ladies here, man. They're actually nominated for Grammys. Being told this is like the most empowering thing they've ever written. You know what I mean? It's not like it's Langston Hughes. It's not like it's it's not Lauren Hill. It's not. It's not NDI. I remember we had this conversation. I said NDI. I read and made a song called God is Real.
Speaker 4:Yeah, god is Real, god is Real.
Speaker 3:But Ice Bison is nominated for Grammys, so only if she nominated for Grammys.
Speaker 4:though she's at the Super Bowl, sitting there with Taylor Swift, who will probably.
Speaker 3:I mean who knows, at the time of this recording, who? Knows, we'll probably never do a song with it. You know what I mean. Who knows that she won't? We'll probably never do a song with it.
Speaker 4:Probably won't never. But you know again because it probably messed up her own her. Who she is, you know. But she don't?
Speaker 4:I mean, she puts out music and stuff like that and I'm not a big follower of her any of them at all, really, to be honest with you. But I know, for when I did listen to the cycle of music, you know she was pretty much cookie cutter. You know what I mean. Keeping it somewhat clean. You know, and you know it's just sad man, that all words and ratchet are being held to. You know, like there are cream of a cream of the crop. Like you know Joe Biden, you know I think Cardi B was like I got him on speed dial. You know what I mean. He's talking to her. You know what I mean. Like you're talking to the ratchet of the ratchet and you know it doesn't make any sense to me, man. You know you mean to tell me anybody of some substance can't get to you, but these people can get to you. Sad man it is it is.
Speaker 3:So what I'm going to do is I'm going to play. This is Candace Owens talking about Ice Spice's song. Now the girl has a song called you Think you Might Fuck.
Speaker 4:This is a song that I believe is probably the most stupidest thing I've heard in the least last three or four weeks but yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there, man, they just putting it, putting the worst out. Yeah you could be right now. I'm telling you right now. There's about a thousand women in the studio right now thinking how I can get worse than this.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, and it's coming, it's coming.
Speaker 4:You just have to wait for it, thousands, I'll even go say millions, millions, millions.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, it's crazy. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to queue this up, but it's just like. This is where we are as a society, man, this is where we going with it. You know what I mean. And my question to y'all is, like yo, is she wrong? Is she wrong for saying it's wrong? You know what I mean. Do you not feel that it's the right name? Because, again, at a messenger, you know what I mean. Here's Candace Owen. She's talking about Ice Spice's song. Listen to this.
Speaker 5:If you thought it was absurd as absurd as I thought it was that they were trying to popularize this song think you the sh** part, despite it's obviously disgusting lyrics. Also, just me as a woman, the concept of you're sitting here talking about sh** partying. Where are your parents? Where is your boyfriend? Is this hot, is this sexy? And a lot of things are going through my mind. First, I just wanted to know how does one perform a song called think you the sh** part? How do you get up there and have the confidence to just be like I'm going to just talk about sh** partying up here and hope people like it? And here's an actual clip, because she recently did perform think you the sh** part of her performing it, in case you're curious, like me. I just have a curious mind. Take it away, ice Spice you ain't even a f**k.
Speaker 7:I keep going hard. I'm breaking their hearts like what Be quick, but I'm quicker.
Speaker 5:Be thick, but I'm thicker. And that, my friends, is how we're going to do it. We're just going to lean over with our butts and say you think you the sh**? You're not even the f**ker. That makes sense actually. That isn't as I imagined it, but like why else would she do anything else but bend over and put her a** in the air and talk about it? That makes sense actually. What doesn't make sense is the fact that she is performing at Spotify's best new artist event. In that clip, this is the best new artist, the best right. It's the best we have to offer in the West, the best we have to offer in Hollywood.
Speaker 3:when it comes to the music, I love to pull it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, we're saying that it's the best that we, as black people, have to offer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's what we're accepting. It's what we're accepting, man.
Speaker 4:We got to offer man, we're really messing with secular music and stuff like that, no more. But still again, like you're saying, at what point does this get? Like you know, like you said, even in the secular world, man, we're all so involved and gay and all of these people that made like songs that changed, you know their times and you know whatever like that. You know it's like what are we doing here?
Speaker 3:Here's the problem, man. What are we doing? Here's the problem. These people are influential. That's the problem. You know what I mean. And we might think it's real half-baking crazy, but to you know the kids that sit in the school like the situation that happened with Sexy Red they had to go to middle school, or you know and walks in the gym, just so happening for some reason, in the gym in the middle school they playing hip hop, by the way and she walks in, the kids going crazy, so much so they had to ask her to leave because they thought it might cause a riot, but the kids are going nuts.
Speaker 4:You know what I mean the sad thing is is who let her in the school.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 4:Who let her in the school. By the content of the music that you have, you should not be allowed to go into any school. The content of the music that you have. Did you ever see the video that was circulating?
Speaker 3:of the little kids in a birthday party that was singing the Sexy Red song. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Shaking the behinds and whatnot like that. That's what makes this disturbing you know what I mean this is what makes this disturbing yeah, but then again, like I said, man, we got this ain't just going on in music, man.
Speaker 4:You know I'm out in this world, man, and I speak to some of these women. Man, we're not just going on in music, we're not talking about people in our college educated. You would think that you know that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about college educated people, nurses, whatever. A lot of them got this ratchet mentality, man. A lot of them got this ratchet disgusting mentality, I mean, and not just African-American people, white folk too. You know different ethnic groups, man. It's like this ratchet mentality is everywhere, man, it's sad because, again, like you said, with women, man, once the women go, you know some social society. Yeah, that's, that's what it is Society, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3:So it's like, this is what you're willing to accept. And it was a certain point in time when it was like you know, you wouldn't want your girl doing something like this, you wouldn't want your girl talking like this.
Speaker 4:Listen, man. You know your mother gives you good and bad man. You know what I mean. Your father laid down the rules, but you know your mom has, and she's nursing you from day one. Your dad at work or whatever like that your mom is the one who's teaching you good and bad. You know what I mean and you know. If your mom can't teach you, you know if your mom, if your mom is teaching you this kind of stuff, where are you going from there Exactly when are?
Speaker 4:you going from there, If your mom, if your mom is getting laying it down to you like this, it's sad man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, very much so, all right. So, last but not least, we want to go into this very, very important part of this video of Curtis Slawa. You know, and if any of you don't know, that's not from the New York Metropolitan area. Curtis Slawa is the head of the Guardian Angels.
Speaker 4:Now, if you can.
Speaker 3:Drake, get the people to context on the Guardian Angels.
Speaker 4:I know they were formed in February 13th 1979. I mean, it was a group actually. You know, growing up in Brooklyn I've seen the Guardian Angels and when they originally started out man, they were some good brothers, man.
Speaker 4:They used to stop the drug dealers on the corner and stuff like that, telling them they come through helping old people, and stuff like that. They had some good stuff going on with them, man. But there were some things that happened with the Guardian Angels in the 80s and the 70s, whereas you know, I know they had gotten into a different couple of situations with the police and you know local people and ended up getting hurt and stuff like that, and then it went off into this stupid garbage that Curtis Slawa got going.
Speaker 3:There comes a dog on Clown Show at this point, yeah he's a clown man.
Speaker 4:You know, curtis Slawa is the saddest clown in New York City. Man, let me tell you something Well.
Speaker 3:Juliani is running a you know race. Right now, juliani's turning into a real ghoul.
Speaker 4:As messed up as Juliani is.
Speaker 3:You was right, Ghouliani. Call it what it is.
Speaker 4:Yeah, as messed up as he was, he was the mayor of New York City. And I'm not saying he was perfect, he was Curtis Sl the noted history of Curtis Slawa. Curtis Slawa is the original troll man. You know what I mean, way before trolling was. You know the thing? This is the original troll man. He's a. He's a. He's an attention whore man.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Yeah, didn't he get like stabbed at one point or shot something like that on cameras.
Speaker 4:So I think he faked this stabbing or something crazy yeah that's what I think.
Speaker 3:that's where the downfall came. I believe he had faked the stabbing or something it was something crazy like that.
Speaker 4:It had been done. Let me tell you, way before you did that, I'd seen a doc, a documentary in New York, with Curtis Slawa was running in. He had like 10 guardian angels and it was running in like crack houses and jacking up you know, stretched out crack heads and stuff like that. They already high laid out in the corner somewhere and he roughing up crack heads and stuff like that man Like this. Ain't the problem, curtis, throughout, you know this. The problem is the drugs, that they, the place where they got the drugs from. This is what the original guardian angels used to do. They used to run up on drug dealers, you know you, you going back to Boston, heads of people with crack heads and whatnot. Like that man, he's, he's always he's been, he's lost the sauce long time ago, man.
Speaker 4:So let's see what was a nut job man, I said it, you can quote me on it.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people that agree with you. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4:Even when you're watching this right here, what he's doing is WWF man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so they get you some contacts. He had a surrounded. He was on live with a Sean Hannity and, you know, claimed to have surrounded some man he think was a migrant. You know a live TV and what happens is they like giving this guy to work? Come to find out he's not even a migrant.
Speaker 4:He had a man's boy and he had a United States. He from the Bronx and here's the funny thing about it is migrant worker Curtis, still a half Italian, half Polish. Yeah, he's an immigrant.
Speaker 3:He's an immigrant.
Speaker 4:He's an immigrant, maybe born here in America, but by way of his family coming somewhere, you know, from some other country or something like that. I want to tell another day with migrant workers and stuff like that. Man, who are you to? You know it's crazy man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's really yeah, very crazy.
Speaker 4:You know that's the audacity of some Caucasian people in this country, man, they get to this country and they forget that they, their family, comes from some sort of. They came through the, came through Ellis Island or something like that, and now that they're here, they got, they got some sort of right to tell people who can be here and who can't. You know what I mean? That's very arrogant and you know, just crazy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is, it is All right.
Speaker 4:So this, this clip, here I'm just going to pretend right now Speaking on that. Giuliani, going back to him, he's another one that has that mentality. I remember I think it was in his book how he talked about his grandfather raised him selling fruit on the street and whatever like that, and put him through college First thing he do, because once he becomes mayor of New York, then he remove all the street vendors out of Harlem. You know what I mean. His father, the person that put him through school. So so, fruits and vegetables on the street, for what I understand. You know what I mean. And then now he wants to put the street vendor's out of work once he becomes mayor. That's ridiculous, and this is what I'm talking about. He they get to this point where they've been here in America for a little while and they think they are actually their lineage comes from America. You're an immigrant too. Yeah, you know, somebody in your family signed their name in Ellis Island somewhere.
Speaker 3:And probably changed your name. In the minute you signed them. They changed your name and everything else. You know what I?
Speaker 4:mean Probably, and they want. Well, they changed. Obviously they changed it back because it's Giuliani. But you know, at one time or another, even the Italians used to hide their name. They didn't want to be known as Italians because they would look down upon it at one time or another. You know what I mean. Yeah, now he got the right to look down on Mexican migrant workers. Are you crazy? It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3:It is All right. So listen, we're going to run this clip here from the young Turks. This is Curtis Lee was in his guardian angels beating up the so-called migrant worker. Check this out.
Speaker 1:Guys have just taken down one of the migrant guys right here on the corner 42nd and seventh. Can you pan the camera? They've taken over. They've taken over. He is out of control.
Speaker 4:Out of control. He's doing his Hulk Hogan. What you could do with the Hulk on the still word wild.
Speaker 6:All you right there.
Speaker 4:That's what he's doing right now, man. He's pumping people up like he's doing something special and a bunch of old weirdos is acting as guardian angels. Man, it's crazy.
Speaker 3:And you know this is 42nd Street. Now, people are not familiar with it that might be listening to this from a different city or something. You know 42nd Street, especially at night, is a very busy, very busy intersection. You know what I mean. It's a lot of people on the street and I, you know the guardian angels again or a vigilante group Right and so if you were in the middle of 42nd Street and at the time of that recording it was like 931pm when that was happening and you stomping this man out and you're not law enforcement, I mean because you and I beat some guy up in the middle of 42nd Street Video paper Just because he protesting is something that you're speaking against, man.
Speaker 4:Everybody in 42nd Street got somebody standing out there protesting Again. They're my Hebrew Israelites and everybody standing out there cursing at each other. In that conversation the 5% is and all other kind of people out there. Conscious community, everybody out there getting cursed out. You know standing on some soap box on.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, if you're just doing this because he's a migrant worker allegedly, you know what we found out now, fact that he wasn't, but it's just the fact that could you or I beat somebody up and have my man given commentary with a camera while we doing it and no cop shows up? It's crazy. It's a lot of little questionable holes in this one, and you know what's sad about this.
Speaker 4:The Guardian Angels initially started these brothers man.
Speaker 3:They were down street brothers, man Do you want some good one to clean up the.
Speaker 4:Hispanics. Hispanics and blacks, man, that were down riding the trains making sure people was all right. You know, and making sure you know. I remember one time another, when you saw a Guardian Angel on the train. You felt good. You know what I mean. Now, this goofy garbage that they got going here, I mean migrant workers, for real, for real. That's your stance now. Yeah. That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 4:Man, if you put them original brothers back, that original brothers in the Latinos back that was wearing them braids and stuff, like that man they probably wrote, they probably slap Curtis Lee Wildman Like what are you doing? Where did you take?
Speaker 3:this, Because to me this looks like a gang. You know, I put it to you like this.
Speaker 4:I put it to you like this I want disrespect again and say it's a gang.
Speaker 3:No, well, what I say when I say it looks like a gang is like if this was an actual gang that was just in the streets man hadn't at the time and whatever. If somebody in fact I put it to you like this If somebody stole your wallet and we caught the guy and we stomped the guy out again with the camera and your man giving commentary on live television you're going to jail man. You're going to jail, you're going to jail You're going to jail Finish playing it out.
Speaker 3:You know you haven't finished playing this out. This is crazy there.
Speaker 2:All right Now that was Sean Hannity's interview with Curtis Sleewa seal.
Speaker 4:I'm going to say this it looked like a setup.
Speaker 3:I was just thinking the exact same thing. It looked like I could be wrong. No Well, you know what I mean it looked crazy. They claim that the guy was a shoplifter allegedly you know what I mean and he was from the Bronx. This is what they say, but in all honesty, I don't think we see the guy. You know anything like that, so I'm with you. I think it's. This was kind of W? W, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:W W. Like just as you on the camera with Sean Hannity, all of a sudden somebody's back to acting up and now you're a pull of stunt where you're trying to. You know, trying to what do you call it? Apprehend them, restraining or whatever it may be. Yeah, I mean now you're trying to do this as of right now. Come on, man.
Speaker 3:You're a dick. Yeah, I mean. You know the end game is just to be fearful of these. You know these migrant workers is what they want you to come on and he a Republican from the Bronx.
Speaker 4:He ran with them brothers in the street down there in the 70s and the 80s and now he's a Republican man. And again, I don't have no dog in the fight either way. But let me tell you something. You black or Hispanic, you know, and you look at them, republican photos of the national was, the Republican national convention and all the other stuff like that, like people are like a raisin, a bowl of grits in it. You know it. Sometimes you just don't have to be a rocket science to say I shouldn't be a part of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah, check this out. No slow.
Speaker 1:The Curtis Sleeva.
Speaker 2:You just say it real quick so people don't know that you're mispronouncing it.
Speaker 2:Okay, great, okay. Founder of the Crime Prevention Vigilante Group, the Guardian Angels, which has been around for literally decades, and we'll get to their history in just a minute. Now they've been active in New York's surging migrant crisis and during that live interview on Fox News, members of his group accosted who they alleged was a shoplifting illegal immigrant. Now it turns out that wasn't the case. All right, so after Fox showed the group restraining the man, sleeva went back to give an update on the situation. So let's take a look at that.
Speaker 1:Well, he had been shoplifting first. The Guardian Angels spotted them, stopped them. He resisted and let's just say we gave him a little pain compliance. His mother back in Venezuela felt the vibrations. He's sucking concrete. The cops scraped them off the asphalt. He's on his way to jail.
Speaker 4:Yeah, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3:Some mean change in college. I hope.
Speaker 4:I hope I think we saw this earlier and you said something about Suena. I said I hope if they got a dollar left in them, that they, that he sue them for everything they got. But I don't think they got two nickels to rub together in the Guardian.
Speaker 3:Correction, correction, I mean, and they can probably use some law to say that, you know, like some Samaritan law, whatever the case is, but I actually think everybody should be arrested.
Speaker 4:Everybody.
Speaker 3:Everybody should be arrested.
Speaker 4:Everybody involved. Well, I think the guy did get arrested for some sort of disorderly crime.
Speaker 3:No, I think Curtis Lee wasn't. His goals need to be arrested.
Speaker 4:Oh no, I'm just saying yeah, yeah, yeah, they need to be arrested, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because if, again, if it was a group, I put it to you like this if it was a group of black teens, let's just go there with it. You know what I mean. Group of black teens. You know, be stop somebody.
Speaker 4:This has happened several times If you was a minister. And when I was standing there talking about church and just preaching, somebody started acting crazy and y'all start bombing on them right there you can go to jail.
Speaker 3:Yeah, everybody should be arrested for this one. You show me a law that doesn't. That says this is right. I mean you can restrain somebody if they did something wrong. I get that, but come on man, come on.
Speaker 4:I wouldn't trust Lee Wild with nothing, absolutely nothing. Yeah, I look at him like I look at him like the worst crackhead I've ever looked at my life. Man. I wouldn't trust Curtis Lee Wild with nothing, man, it's just a. It's been a dog and pony show ever since I, ever since the man was I don't know if he was always the head dude or whatever the case may be, because I remember just seeing brothers coming through the neighborhood that was guarding angels, you know, and I never seen Curtis Lee Wild until, I'm going to say, around the 80s. I know he got some interviews in back in the 70s and whatever case may be, but I never seen him, and me personally, until the late 80s when he started like trying to get like political offices and radio stations and that kind of thing.
Speaker 3:Well, lisa, remember Lisa Sui Wild used to be one of them. I guess she divorced him based upon the foolishness and went on to have a successful radio career. You know what I mean? Till his day, yeah, yeah, she denounced the foolishness. She beat soldiers and stuff Everybody back in New York. You remember the strict soldiers? I think she, I think she still do it, she still doing it, I think she still do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, man, she's more credible than he is.
Speaker 3:She is very much more credible than she, than he is. Man, you know what I mean, and so it just goes to show you dirty Dirty Her name up. That's what it is she got. She broke camp before it got too bad. You know what I mean. I can't be attached to this goal, man. I can't discuss it.
Speaker 4:Then he always stand in like he's some sort of statue or I ain't never seen Curtis Lee while even getting to a scuffle man. You know what I mean, like a real downright scuffle or heard about it man. You know he's a. He's a dust bucket man.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah. I can't stand people like that man. They're just like he's a. It's a tension hoist, he's an ambulance chaser man, Anything. You call Curtis Lee. Well, man, my history of just knowing New York city and watching the news with Curtis Lee was always been discussed, and so many talk shows with him on it. He's a, he's WWF.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's a dirtbag, but listen, all our, all our New Yorkers out there, this is for you. You know what I mean. If you, if you remember, like street soldiers and back when hot 97 was hot, you know real, real stuff, man. Man, just drop something in the comments, man, let us know you out there. If you have a certain age, you remember these things. You know what?
Speaker 4:I mean, I think she still does it, because what happens is, I think, um, you know, you know, obviously me in the New York, you know, man, this is an hour 97, but, um, you know, when you scroll through Facebook sometime, when these rappers get locked up and stuff like that, she's always, I think she still does that thing where she speaks on, like you know, those kind of high profile rap crimes and stuff like that. You know, and I could be wrong, but I think it is grocery.
Speaker 3:So yeah, yeah, I think it says um and 2016 and long running hot 97 show Street Soldiers with Lisa she. Her new name is Evans, by the way, Lisa Evans it was turned into a weekly TV show on Fox five in New York, so it does still come on the airs Friday night set, 1030 pm. Yeah, so she's. So she's still rocking after all these years. Man she was almost 70 years old man Still rocking.
Speaker 4:She needs some courage to go. She's had up under the rock or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, you get to a certain point and certain stride in life, man, you might want to take them for raise or before you have a heart attack, wrestling when this, this, this New York, now with these kids ain't playing man, you know. I mean, they don't know you.
Speaker 4:It used to be a little game, man. I remember as a kid man the Guardian Angels was for real man. You know they had the real brothers, at least the Brooklyn faction that I would. That I seen come through man, you know, I seen them. You know stuff, the drug dealers and stuff like that. And they didn't mind getting into some physical confrontation in the middle of the street, you know, because a lot of guard early guardian angels was into. You know, what do you want to say? Variety.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it isn't having a martial arts and stuff like that. Because I don't believe they carry weapons at all at all.
Speaker 4:I don't remember the metal car.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:So this is back then, where you know, I'm going to tell you back then, you know, the drug dealers, the cops, everybody would give you a fair one back then.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, man, I know it was cops that take off the badge and they say, all right, well, let's get it on right quick, you know because I'm not.
Speaker 3:I'm not understanding how they operate in this new New York. You know what I mean. How do you still do this in New New York? Hey, that's how I did your vigilante group.
Speaker 4:He's nothing but a Republican clown pawn man, whereas I can go out here, do this kind of goofy garbage and show in hand that he can get it on there and you know they can. You know raise that. You know, with that scariness vote that they like to get a fair model party. You know what I mean. That's it man. He's a bomb. He's a bomb man Been a long time bomb man. You know what I mean. I'm surprised, sean, sean Hannity.
Speaker 3:And I don't like it, but I'm surprised he was stooped this low. I'm not. I'm not surprised at all. I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 4:Honestly, it was the bottom of the Republican barrel. He's like the crevice of the bowl. You know, man, it's disgusting.
Speaker 3:I'm surprised by none of this man. All right, man, but we're going to get ready to wrap up, though you know what I mean? Crazy stuff, man. So look, man. Message to our people. Man, come on, we got to raise this bar back up and this is this is ridiculous. What we see is that we got to do better. Please, please. If you see this stuff, you know you got to speak out against it. You know this is, this is your culture on the line.
