Speaker 2Uh, y'all watch this Diddy doc.
That being with me, I.
Speaker 1Was definitely wanting to come into this thing and talk more about head ass hegseth and when murder turns into a video game, which is a very serious thing.
That will probably be something I'll talk about next week.
Speaker 2But y'all, we had to pause for the cause.
Speaker 1I wanted to save this topic for the state of the Blackness, which will still be a part of it because it's a part of the blackness.
Speaker 2But guys, did y'all watch this thing?
Speaker 1Here's the thing, this this doc is number one in fifty countries.
Look, if you have not seen this yet, there might be some spoilers.
I'm gonna do my best to not give y'all no spoilers and just talk more about, like why I feel like this is important to us politically as to tap in Now, Sean Puffy Combs is responsible for two decades of black music.
There is no denying that, right, some of the greatest club hits at all time.
Now keep in mind me as myself, I'm gonna be a little transparent, little background to build up as to like why I think this is important to talk about it.
Speaker 2A couple takeaways.
Speaker 1I come from backpack battle rap, true school underground.
If it's on the radio, you're a sellout type head ass.
You know, put truly incense stuck behind my ear, Chake rivera book rolled up in your back pocket, jumping into the circle talking about telekinesis and Quasar's type beat.
You know what I'm saying, Like I come from that type of hip hop.
So at this time I thought Diddy was the anti Christ that you are destroying hip hop sansa crag Mac, because Flavor in Year was one of the greatest boy one of the greatest songs ever who got the fleeve to come down but dozit to keep buzzing that the fact when it wasn't.
And then when they did the Flavor in Year remix that had bust the rhymes l O cool j on it and Biggie because here the song started to go.
At some point, go look up Flavor in Year, Craig Mac, just like you and a Blair the body kicked Flair Flavor better child matter than the Madthood.
I bet you my federal I got the data anyway, Very ninety nine nineteen ninety five raps.
But the remix Biggie opens it up with the same pattern.
When he was like, you know, just like you're in a blab.
He was like, ligas, so get more butt than as Tray the fair one, get rid of you, the fast way ski mask Way for Hammers from the Coat Dog Anyway, And then jay Z had it was the s Dot Carter collection.
This is this is one of the greatest eras the mixtape era, the who Kid, the Green Lantern eras of hip hop.
So jay Z had a mixtape where he did that line too.
He took that beat and he did his own remix of a remix ski masks Way for Hammers from the Coat.
It's say no handgun it Shit'll sink a boat anyone in the Atlantic.
The ssment of the Titanic Center Distress single like the Thing is the size of Sean Diddy Puffy Combs cannot be understated.
Speaker 2Now.
Speaker 1I watched the first episode with one of my homeboys from Guatemala who is an actor, but he did not grow up here and doesn't really know the effects of this, and he was trying to understand, like why would anyone stick around for this?
And we were just like Bro Harvey, like Harvey Weinstein like, think about I love this year being the this these last few decades being a reckoning for sleeves balls right, the person at this size an unfathomable, outsized reach, a mogul, like he can truly say a mogul.
But since day one, whether we're talking about Kanye or President Donald Trump, the hubris, the in destructibility continues to be the cat for these people's downfall.
Now, I don't know when that's happening with Trump, but I tell you what everybody else we talk about, the Mount Rushmore or as I saw on the internet, the Mount Touch Moore Ha, the r Kelly's of the world, Weinstein's, the Epstein's, and the Ditties, the Mount truck touch Bore eventually becomes a downfall.
Now, most Black people are very long suffering.
We are long suffering for the reason of institutionalized racism.
The thing is, we understand what other black people had to go through, the hurdles they had to jump over to get to the stage that they're at.
So whenever there's accusations that come out, there's allegations that come out about somebody black, our first inclination is to side eye it.
We want to protect because we have not as many options for heroes as everybody else does.
I was also watching the Eddie Murphy documentary, and there's always this idea that, like with with with black megastars, it's like a single file line, like you can't like you can't have two in the same world, which is what was so interesting about a puffy and a sugar night during this era.
But anyway, I am digressing because I'm so excited about this thing.
The two things that I want to tap in with y'all with is helping y'all understand politically socially.
Speaker 2Here's what I here's what I realized.
Speaker 1About black people, specifically Black Americans as Ditty became unfortunately the shorthand for homophobia, like I'm not gonna do that, no Diddy, it seemed like that was the one thing we was ready to crack jokes about, but either we were really of all the stuff that we knew about him, you know, the baby oil.
We could laugh about all that, like all that was funny to us, even though we knew it was gross, right because it was like the worst kept secret.
What changed all of us was watching this bittery and if you followed black culture, we like, put this man up under the jail.
I saw one that said we need to stab him with a silver dildo in his heart.
Speaker 2We're still funny, but you know what it is.
Speaker 1We cannot abide by you doing your own folks dirty.
You had little Homie that produced that last record that say he woke up sore without any idea as to what happened to him.
Oh my gosh, it's rape.
Guys like that's rape.
But I saw another black commentary that was just like, you double fucked him because after all that, you still ain't paying.
It made the conversation on Hot ninety seven when de Lux, that is, Styles p and Jadakiss were on the radio yelling at Puffy and Puffy being like, nah, I mean you know what I'm saying, like, come to the office.
Speaker 2You ain't got to get on the radio all that.
Speaker 1Y'all not finna do it.
So he was like, Nigga, we made a hit.
You don't get You're not paying us.
You're not paying us.
Here's a spoiler alert three two one.
It's revealed in this episode that when Biggie wanted his for Biggie's funeral, he took royalties from Biggie's albums to pay for it.
Biggie paid for his own funeral, just diabolical.
So you're just seeing person after person talk about how did he double fucked him?
And if there's one thing that black people just will will joke, we we got all kind of jokes about Bill Cosby.
We know you know we're done with you, will crack jokes about you, will ignore you.
But whenever we're just like, nah, nigga, keep him, keep that nigga in jail.
There's very few people that reach that, one of which is Bill Cosby, the other of which is Diddy.
And it's because these are your day ones.
You did your day ones very dirty, and Black people just don't abide by that.
And the second thing I realized in this was how angry I got an episode two.
You know what that tells me we're still not healed from the death of Biggie and Tupac.
It's also like this international gas lighting, because all of us kind of felt like maybe, but then to see it all laid out, it's a It's an interesting thing to think about, like the state of the African Americans, psyche and what when we consider somebody precious and we're taken from us too soon.
Now we understood somebody like a Jimmy Hendrix, he destroyed himself.
We understood that he was a rare talent.
But that acid them drugs.
We understand that that's a different story, that's a different type of tragedy.
Speaker 2But if you think about the way that.
Speaker 1We mourned around even like Nipsey Hustle, Nipsey was somebody that was making a change, but we understood he was a street dude.
You lived by the sword, died by the sword.
We understood what was happening right there that at some point that was going to catch up.
But with these two particular people, what they meant to us, the way for which they handled themselves, the fact of seeing that they were at one point friends, and what like, how did this fall apart?
Speaker 2Is this real?
Did he really have a part of it?
Speaker 1The way that Biggie kept being like listen, I love pac The fact that Biggie did not respond to hit him up is like yo, Like there were things that were brewing in and to think about the vacuum that created in mentorship of young artists, of young black men.
Speaker 2We weren't really healed from that.
Speaker 1I think I realized that we're still not over this, and that's also part of why I think we like put this man up under the jail.
And then finally there's I really think that this is fifty cents magnum opus, because we already knew he was a legendary troll.
But just the icing on the cake.
Do you know how this man got the footage?
Speaker 2You know?
Speaker 1And it's confirmed by Variety the hubrist of somebody like Diddy to record the to hire a film crew to do to follow him and record the last five days before he goes on trial is just legendary arrogance.
And you know did he never paid the guy for all that footage?
So guess who bought the footage?
I think the troll of the century goes to mister Curtis Jackson.
Anyway, more of the story.
We will never stand for you not doing right by your own people.
You can't do your own folks.
You did your man's wrong.
That's your folks, that's your day.
That's how you treat your day ones.
Oh then I can't mess with you.
I mean, I know, I know it's gangsters right now that are like yo, We'll try to get you to snitch on your boys, and then if you snitch on your boys, be like, oh, I can never work.
Speaker 2With you because you're down to smitch snitch on your boys.
Speaker 1There's no like there are things that are just full stop for us, and I feel like Diddy is all of them.
Speaker 2Pay your peoples.
Speaker 1Don't be raping people and whatever you do, don't have any involvement in the murder of Biggie and Tupac tap being with me, y'all, don't the b
