visually, it does not look uh like well made. 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:10.320 But uh like uh to pull this off, especially when you probably only had to shoot for less than three weeks. 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:24.399 Yeah, it's like uh you could brag about everyone who's in this movie because he picked, I'd say like people that will have careers, and also people just like we can just talk about it, but like uh some of the celebrities in this, they will, you know, just they'll have staying power. 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:24.960 Yeah. 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.080 And like this movie has three Academy Award winners in it. 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.840 It's such a random mix of actors and just people in general. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:39.759 Like to have Raquan in the same movie as Elijah Wood! Like, how random, you know? 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.440 How random is that? 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.240 And then uh who is this uh what was it? 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.600 The uh Brooke Shields? 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.240 It's Brooke Shields uh wearing like these the rattiest dreads. 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:58.799 With dreads, and and she's she's walking around with a little camera, and like every time they cut to her footage, you're like, oh, you could never use that in a fucking documentary. 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.440 Why is she even shooting a documentary like that didn't go anywhere, really? 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:18.720 And and so for for him, uh for her and Robert Down Jr., it does seem like they exist to shoehorn this idea that uh, you know, uh like white people are consuming hip-hop and like uh it it's it's such a different message that we kind of currently have. 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:26.159 Because like uh over the past decade, it's really been that white people are stealing, you know, uh culture and you know tradition. 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.799 And whereas before it it was black people are corrupting the white people with their hippety hop music. 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.200 That's right. 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:38.799 And uh, you know, just uh it it it it it's changed so much, and maybe actually we're changing back radically where it's just you know diversity's a bad thing. 00:10:39.120 --> 00:11:02.159 You know, I well who knows, man, but you know, but white folks, young white suburban kids are the biggest consumers of hip hop music and purchasers of hip-hop music, you know, and like if you go to like um you know, I've been to a bunch of Wu-Tang shows and stuff like that, and they have a bunch of white fans, man. 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:12.159 You know, they have everyone loves the Wu, but um white folks are notoriously some of the biggest financial supporters of rap music, you know. 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:19.360 And and uh here's the thing, also if the Rizer were in this, he'd be kind of like put coming this message, it's like, who do you think buys our records is making us rich? 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.159 All right, it's like we're mainstream now, we're in a video game, man. 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:22.480 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.679 It's like you think a lot of you know, just uh kids in the hood got PlayStations, yeah. 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.039 All right, it's like we are doing this to you know to make money off of these people. 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.120 They're they're buying it good, you know, and like uh also we're Wu Tang. 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.559 It's like we're inspired by just uh like Kung Fu movies. 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:52.559 Yeah, and it I I always do kind of think the reason probably they have such a uh I not as a white following, is they were also very relatable in that like uh really I especially especially for the resident, it's like man, he's the nerdiest dude, who's the coolest guy, right? 00:11:52.720 --> 00:12:08.960 Like, you know, just he he like you know absorbs other cultures, but also just uh like I I would say it's like uh as soon as they renamed themselves and they found like you know, just uh like I don't know their their clan, but their little tribe, it's like it gave them identity and like you know, so like that gave them power. 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.480 Before that, they were just you know being bullied around the neighborhood and stuff, you know. 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:21.519 And actually, so Raekwon and Ghostface are the only two people I would say in the group that would uh I don't know, scare me a little bit, you know, because of like you know, because of their affiliations. 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.960 The rest of them, I gotta say, it's like you know, they were they were a bunch of nerds to me. 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:25.519 Right, right. 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.559 Yeah, that's right. 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.039 Ghostface did make a little cameo in the film too. 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.200 And then you hear one of the kids say, Oh, is that Ghostface killer? 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.879 Okay, right now we're kind of noticing the skyline. 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:38.559 Yeah, you you kind of saw it. 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:45.679 It's like uh they didn't know that uh the Twin Towers were gonna be good dropping in two years, so like you don't even like uh like drop like focus on any of them. 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.480 Yeah, like this movie is true, and also like I said, 25 years. 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.000 No one tried to reclaim this movie as like, oh, we didn't know how good we had it. 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.879 This movie's just yeah, no one I have not heard anyone talk about this movie at all. 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.159 You know, it's uh it's a conundrum, you know. 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:14.159 This this film, I feel like there are some nuances that they were starting to scratch the surface of, but it's almost like there was so much going on, they didn't have a real chance to get deep enough into some things. 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:30.000 Like the concept of like these white kids wanting to

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.960 Accidentally in the movie, though. 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.440 I thought it was interesting too when they go to the wall and met the man that says Wu Tang. 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.200 He was like, Wu Tang, you know? 00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:48.640 And I was like, yo, they're not like I didn't know if they were supposed to be Wu Tang in the film, like they were playing similar type characters, right? 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.319 But I thought that was interesting that he shouted out the name of the crew. 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:59.759 Well, you know, it's so I I know um like uh Raekwon, they give him a different name and they're like referring to him as something else, but he's very much being himself. 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.960 Yes, definitely. 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.400 It's like um also I'm kind of glad that that's the uh that's the case. 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.880 I'm glad they don't have to act like you know other people. 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:16.160 It it it's it's interesting, they achieve success through hip-hop, but they don't want to continue to do that, or like it if they want to, it's uh it's purely for an artistic type. 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.000 Uh like uh uh let's use like a current example. 00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:27.359 Um uh right now, if uh if you want to have a career in anything else, you start in hip-hop, and this is like a very big white cultural appropriation thing. 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.680 So I'll think um post Malone, Jelly Roll, shoot man kid rock. 00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.200 All right, like uh guess what you do? 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:38.160 You start off in hip-hop because it's popular, you make a name for yourself, and then you segue into a country career. 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:39.279 Yeah, exactly. 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.680 And and so it's like that is that is culture appropriation, that is using black people. 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.519 Well, you that is earned. 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:56.079 Okay, it's it's different when it's a it's it's different when a kid likes something from a different culture, it's a different thing to uh make success off of it and then wildly change because you were never really that. 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:56.720 Exactly. 00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:57.599 There you go. 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:14.319 Even but even like someone like Kanye West, right, who has admitted, yo, I I I I was never really a backpacker, backpack rapper, but I I embodied that to get this fan base, you know, and then he broke off to do what the things that he would do. 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:21.039 If you were honest, I think he probably wanted uh like he would have been cool actually having like a band like Portiset or something like that. 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.720 He could have he would have loved that. 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.359 Yeah, like uh he was he would have been the drummer just to do it in NPC, and uh like that's the thing. 00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.839 Also, I have all my heroes let me down. 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.319 Like it's like Kanye West is a hero of mine. 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:32.880 Wow, okay. 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:35.839 So like that's it, it is embarrassing to have that. 00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:52.480 But like we're if we're gonna make a list of uh of like uh rappers that act now, the biggest one I can think of too is common, because I remember seeing on Chappelle Show Common Sense and Kanye West, and they were uh performing live the food, and I'm suddenly like, oh my god, I love this. 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:53.119 What is this?

for like evidence in uh like diluted peoples and stuff like that. 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.280 So makes a name for himself. 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.079 He also works at like a bunch of like games and stuff. 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.840 So like in Grand The Thought of Five, if you get into a car, you can listen to a radio station that is just Alchemist beats. 00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.800 Wow, man. 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.639 Yeah, Alchemist is dope. 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.800 He's dope, but that's a crazy connection. 00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.119 Uh the Alchemist broke ribs and collapsed along when Eminem's tour bus flipped. 00:34:59.440 --> 00:34:59.920 What? 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:06.320 Yeah, apparently they were on tour and like uh they hit some black ice and like uh you you're in the bus and no one's wearing seat belts. 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:15.599 So just every person starts like rolling on the side and stuff, and like something lands on him, and just you know, you'd like uh he uh had to go to the air because he couldn't put any air in it. 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:22.079 Crazy, just just nuts, and now I'm thinking about it, just uh so so uh Scott Conn probably could have been you know the next thing in hip hop. 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:40.079 Instead, he's like, I'm gonna be an actor, and it's fine, you know, just uh um that being said, also uh we were gonna uh list uh like um uh being that like um uh we're saying that for white, say like people that started hip hop, you can choose a different genre to like graduate to. 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:42.480 Yeah, it's a little different for black people, really. 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.119 Like uh and so like uh I can say a couple examples. 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:52.400 I would say like uh Beyonce going to country for an album is forgivable because she's kind of you know exhausted her acting career and stuff. 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.119 Who is this? 00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:54.960 Beyonce, okay, possibly, yeah. 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:59.360 And then for but she is from uh isn't she from uh Dallas? 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.000 She is? 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.480 Yeah, so that can be a country connection. 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.280 I'm not uh not f sliding against that. 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:07.440 Snoop Dogg also being Snoop Lion for an album. 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.800 Snoop Lion is wild. 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:10.079 That was out of pocket, but I think. 00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:15.360 It's also it's like, okay, so it's different for it's hard to jump to a you know different genre if you're going through this. 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.199 They get a lot of criticism for that. 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:24.000 Well, it's a uh yes, it's like if you're not gonna stick to your roots, then you know you've betrayed everyone who believed in you as uh as your story. 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:34.000 But it's like that for that, I do think the uh it's far more likely if you're uh uh like uh a rapper or something like that, you will graduate to acting instead. 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:39.920 Because it it really it's more consistent, less competitive right now, and also there's no record sales right now. 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.320 Right. 00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:49.760 So like uh it's it would actually probably be easier to get you know uh a spot on a show than it would be to you know like you know put out an album that would that you would make money from. 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.559 Like uh it's like also uh if you have like the best streaming song, you might not make any money off of it. 00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:54.880 Yeah. 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.079 Well, you know, Nas, for example, right? 00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:09.920 Nas, he's diversified his his cat his uh his catalog, you know, he's he has mass appeal, um, he's behind different tech type companies and things like that. 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:15.119 Nas is one of the people who I think has been able to diversify without much criticism. 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:27.920 And uh, you know, some others, uh no names are coming to my mind right now, but to to break off from rap and then go to country is is uh it's uh that's a that's a wild one right there. 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:38.079 Well and also uh is it uh country kind of your uh stripped down uh like uh version of rock, which uh really was stolen also from black people. 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.960 So maybe it's not that wild of a joke. 00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:52.159 Yeah, no, no, it's it it I I I'm guessing it truly isn't because I'm also I'm thinking it's like they don't want banjos up there, they kind of want to rock out, but there's no there's no uh market for rock music right now, really. 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:59.760 Like uh the market for rock music is classic, and so it's why the Rolling Stones can keep you know touring out there and selling you know tickets for like$50 a pop. 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.719 Like it's you know, it wanna go see Big Jagger do satisfaction, right? 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:13.920 You do whereas I I I don't know if uh like especially with the ticket uh master situation, I don't know if you could actually travel around and have like a regular audience, right? 00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:18.480 And so it's like you you actually want to like attract an older audience because they can pay for the tickets. 00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:19.280 There we go. 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:20.320 They got the budget. 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:23.440 Also, they're you know, they're probably not working uh you know the next morning. 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:28.880 Uh like uh it's there's the thing, as soon as it became 30, suddenly I'm like, oh man, I can stay up till that late. 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:29.840 Yeah, exactly. 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:31.519 I'm trying to be home by 10, bro. 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.920 I have things to do in the morning, just to eat, yeah. 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:40.639 So uh uh let's get down to

actually like a a little bit of rating uh on this movie, right? 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:46.800 So like uh I I do a one to ten rating, and my my thing is it's not whether or not this is a good movie or a bad movie. 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:50.159 Okay, it's more of like one is I'm never gonna watch it again. 00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:59.280 And ten means I'm either gonna watch it or and so like uh there's degrees to it, but like uh am I gonna watch this again or am I gonna try to show it to somebody? 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:05.280 Is there like uh culturally will this be relevant in any way that like I can I can see damn in the future? 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:12.559 Because it is the weirdest movie, and like uh if if you bring it up in a conversation, no one's gonna know what you're talking about. 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:16.000 And nobody that would be a weird reference, you know. 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:24.239 Uh I would probably say I would probably so zero is like I would never watch it again, or one's like I would never watch it again. 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:28.960 I'd probably be like, I'd probably hit it with a solid like three. 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.599 I'd probably do like a three. 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.000 Like, if I was teaching a class on diversity, shoot. 00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.800 This might actually I might show a clip. 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:39.199 Uh-huh. 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.639 Not the whole thing. 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:41.679 You know what I mean? 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:47.039 Like, I would show a clip, like, so we can talk about some of these ideas, you know? 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.880 Um sociology class, uh, a little clip of it, right? 00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:57.039 Um, but am I gonna be like, you know what I really want to see again? 00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:57.840 Probably not. 00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:11.119 Probably I'm not gonna be like, out of all the movies in the world we could watch, this one probably will not come to mind unless I'm with a particular group of people and I'm like, yo, y'all wanna see something really weird? 00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:14.000 I got this film, you know. 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.559 My guy, my guy Evan shared with me. 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.239 You never heard of this shit before, you know? 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:21.119 And guess what? 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.519 Ben Stiller's in it with Rae Kwan. 00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:25.360 You know? 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:27.679 Okay, um, uh, here's the thing. 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:32.800 We are watching uh having the movie just rolling behind us, and uh we we did just uh have the murder go on. 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:41.119 And it's the strangest thing where I can uh say I can't give advice to tall black men, but my thing is if a guy has a gun out of you, don't slowly amble towards them. 00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:41.840 Yeah, right. 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:49.039 Just like making yourself target actually, just you know especially a sketchy little
