FREE GAME: ain't no love

you still gonna be down with me? Everybody's worried about that relationship always being transactional, like are you just here because what I can give you? You know what I'm saying? Is there really any love in the heart of the city you feel me? Are are you on some snoop? Like we don't love him house? You know what I'm saying, Like, tell me if you really really about me? Are you really a writer? When it go down? If you can't get what you want from me in my disposable, in

my interchangeable, all right? Is it? Is it some Beyonce situation where like don't you ever for second get the thinking he replace somebo you like how flat that mug was stick to rhyming and poetry problem and the podcast is pretty cool too, but please, man, you ain't hold that note, no paperbag? You feel me? Yeah? Anyway, joking around the point is the question is do y'all really love us? I want to give you a matrix to think about. Where the cast your most powerful weapon? You vote? Politics?

Free game, free game, three games, free games, free games, three game. Yo. So y'all, this another one of them free game episodes where I'm just trying to put you on in a way that says like, look, here's a way to think about this, and what I want to talk about is yeah, like I'm, I'm this is like the fourth episode where I'm talking about mid term elections because it's that important right now? You feel me? Uh, what's always important? But I really want you to, like man,

not not think about this. Most time people skip the midterms, and I hope you've been paying attention enough to understand that, Like, let me tell you what you can't afford to skip? You feel me? How many times have I said before, like it's really not these like the big four year presidential elections in a lot of ways that really affect you as much as you think it's these smaller ones, it's these more localized ones. It's these ones in between.

You feel me, like, those are the ones that actually really have to do with in a lot of ways. You know what, the way that the rubber meets the road. You know what I'm saying. Of course it's all connected. Of course I'm not saying I'm like every every election matters, I mean, down to your school board. But what I'm trying to say is like, don't just pay attention to the big ones. You feel me? So this midterm is like, this isn't an abstract just news thing. This is like legit,

like really close to your life. You with me? So I want to give you some things and ask you about, like, yo, do these people really love you? And I'm gonna get to a premise or a question I want you to ask yourself at the end, but I need to build a case to get there. Do y'all really love us? Is the question at hand. But first I want to talk about who the y'all is, right, and then how it works once you at the table, and then finally the ultimate question, which is the game I'm trying to

give y'all but I don't want to. I want to make you listen to the end like you, I mean, skip what am I talking about? Whatever the point is, I don't want to do to reveal to them whatever. I don't care. You don't use kids, so I say, I don't care. Sobody take your ball. You absolutely care anyway, way off topic. So look, obviously your boy leans left. I have never you ain't never heard come out of

my mouth that I'm a part of any particular political party. Right. Clearly, my positions, I mean are relatively progressive, you know, but progressive according to who like what I think. I've made this point before, like in in relation to what right.

So when we say things like right wing, left wing, you know, liberal, conservative, progressive, constitutionalists, like all these terms, and then sometimes you throw out terms like Marxists that like people are arguing like there's ain't nothing in America Marxists, like you ain't you need to do your homework, nothing

about us is Marxist. That means you don't know Marxist anyway, these terms, I think it's important to understand it in this this this is the number one thing in the or not the most important, but the first thing in in the order of things I've trying to communicate. Do you is that these names are how do I say this?

It's the cart before the horse, it's named after It's almost like you have all these particular issues, topics, whatever, views, and to be honest, every person and if you think about it, like who like, I'm not sure many of us neatly fit perfectly into any of these categories. It's

because the categories were drawing after. If you if you could picture a whole scattered plot of like I don't know, pennies or marbles or coins, right scattered all over a table, and then someone takes a piece of string and just like strings circles around certain ones of those coins and then calls that something you're following me. So what I'm saying is the label is put on after. So if you like, I'm a progressive, well that means blah blah

blah blah blah. But if somebody but if you say, well, yeah, I'm a progressive, and then they start laying out the progressive agenda and you're like, well, I don't know if I'll rock with all of this. Then you like, do I have to believe this? Because I'm calling myself. You know, you don't have to call yourself a progressive. You know what I'm saying. If you like, I actually do like kind of rock. I think institutions and traditions are important.

You know what I'm saying. It's like, oh, well you're a conservative, and it's like, well, I don't know, man, I feel like reproductive rights is super important. It's like, well, you're not a conservative, you think because the name was put on after like we for some for for for organizational purposes, because of how our brain work, we feel like we need to put names to of course, because again,

you gotta have something to check. You gotta have a box to check, right, they need to send you a ballot, so I mean I have to have a way to at least communicate. But the categories don't set the rules. The people in them set the rules, so you don't have to fit need And that's part of why, or that's mainly the main reason why you don't hear me ever say well I'm a Democrat or I'm a liberal, or I'm a socialist, or because it's like, yo, to me, this is a buffet like I could eat from. I'm

the citizen and I could eat from the buffet. I want to something like. It's like it's like if you order something, it's like going like, let me see if I can think of another comparison. It's like going to a restaurant that don't allow substitutes. Who know, this is the way that the chef like, so you're like, man, I'm not gonna eat here with a chef, Like really, I'm gonna remember I went to this one restaurant and uh, was it Indianapolis? I think it was Indianapolis. What's the

big city? It was Muncy. I was in Muncy, That's what it was. Was it Muncy? It might have been Indianapolis,

I don't remember. That was a long pause. Matt puts some music right there, so it don't seem so bad anyway, Um, I went to this restaurant and it was like what reminded me of a two thousand fourteen hipster restaurants to where it's like maybe thirteen, where it's like y'all still like y'all still doing like this is a deep cat cut, you'll still doing komm X slow pour overs as if like coffee specialty coffee technology hasn't advanced since the kimas

you know what I'm saying, Like it's like it's like that that first wave of third wave specialty coffee where they don't they don't have cream and sugar. If you come you come to the coffee shop, they're just like, you know, they don't have creaming sugar. It's like, oh, okay, you're undiscovered coffee, right apparent Okay, so you you invented especially you you you you you peris you feel me?

It was it was like one of the one of them spots where there was a time out here in l A, like if you went to a little hipster spot. It was like that. Right. Since then we've relaxed, yea saying, but this restaurant was still there. And then I remember I I we we ordered this thing, and I was like, my wife asked, yo, can we substitute the potatoes for sweet potatoes? That man said, now, we was like excuse me? He said, well, we think we see food as art and our our chef is is the artist and he

pieces things together. So no, you know, we we we don't allow substitutions because it's it's it's almost like offensive to the artist. Me and me and me and my wife looked at each other and it was like, fam, these as pancakes and waffles. This ain't a This ain't a Michelin Star restaurant. In which case we understand where there is no menu, there's you're giving a meal card that tells you your three courses. Okay, I understand that, But what is what? What in the two thousand twelve

is this is you? Are you okay? All right? You know what I'm saying. It's like, yo, you got gluten free. You got gluten free buns? No, they're brioche again. It's a part of the It's like, all right, I apparently y'all still standing for that out here. You know what I'm saying, You must be the only you must be the only spot in town because it is the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard in my life. Like you, oh,

you don't subs okay whatever? Right, So I will all that to say, it's not like you can't substitute the fries for sweet potato fries when it comes to like your your political views, like if you like listen, dude, like I rock with all this, but I don't really feel that like you can do that, Like you can you can switch out for a gluten free bud. You can. You could go with a turkey burger rather than a

beef like, you could do that. So if you like, you know, I like certain things that the left is saying, but some of this, some of this stuff is wold, then that's okay. Don't don't feel like you have to like follow the rules they're saying, Like, you can switch it out. So the categories came after, the names came after. The issues are the issues, right, Don't let none of

these people you know, running for office or anything. Don't let them convince you that you're not a good A B or c. If you don't hold to these particular topics you allowed to hold or whatever you want. You ain't gotta fit nobody's category. You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna take this really home as a black person, and it's the one that like I feel like, you know, we still almost like I shouldn't share this with job because this is some like in house stuff. So if

you're not black, don't listen to this part. Skip ahead. Yeah it's probably well, I don't know, you'll probably got your own versions of this. But I'm gonna talk about it in terms of black people, the diaspora of everybody pronounces that word different, diaspora, diaspora, diaspora, diaspora, everybody do. The point is, we are a wide, very diverse group of people that we just call black. I mean, y'all watched in Canto, right. You see that little boy when

he got his magic to see animals? He black as hell? That's I mean, trans Atlantic slave trade. We come Colombian too, you know what I'm saying. So, like, we're a very diverse group of people, and oftentimes because of the uniqueness of the experience experience of the like black American slave descendant, we were robbed of so much of our cultural identify irs that in some ways part of the byproduct of that is we start policing each other around those experiences,

Like we start putting rules around blackness. Right, Black people like certain sports. You know what I'm saying. You sound like this. You eat these kind of foods, you can you know which kind of like in a lot of ways. You know, if you come here, you Haitian, you believe in what I'm saying. You got different. You got bolton on cheese. You know what I'm saying, and you're buil up that you eat you feel me. It's like you ain't never had a college green ever in your life.

So you got here, you feel me? So like there's these a lot of times we have a way of putting rules around what it means to be black. Why it's hard to like look at like suburban black folks. You feel me that, Like, well, y'all ain't come from the struggle. So it's like, I don't know how black you are. These are things that I feel And you know, again there's there's disagreement among this that I feel is like detrimental too, And it's like, and we're selling us

self short. The black experience can be as diverse as the people in it, you know what I'm saying. So like, okay, so you come from the suburbs, you feel me. Okay, you and the anime, you know what I'm saying, Like you ain't never played a sport the day in life? You just big on that nerd culture, You on that, you on your you're on your loope fiasco. You feel me like just nerdy as hell, you know what I mean, Like you could do that, you know or South Massacada.

You know what I'm saying, the the you know o g like surfer snowboarder from like uh you know the X Games years. Like, I mean, he's a from Oceanside black surfer. You know what I mean? Does that make him any less black because he being the beach? You know what I'm saying, Well, clearly you never been a Madagas star. They surfers down there. You know I'm saying, clearly you ain't been in South Africa. Yeah, they surf

down there. Uh. Now, on the other hand, I think there's something to be said about, Yeah, having a type of experience that makes you feel like you need to actively work against the rest of us or disassociate with the things that are verifiably black. That's a different story. You know what I'm saying. That's that's some self hate type stuff. That's something different, you know what I'm saying.

But if you just in the anime. You in the anime, but you know, I don't need you to run around here saying well, like I don't bounce around like monkeys like like you other black guys, then I'm like, okay, NIGGI like time out, homie, Like that's dip. That's a different story. I probably shouldn't wade into these waters either because I'm thirteen years out of single and my wife

is Latina. But I have a very hard time when I hear Black men say stuff like I don't date black women, I don't like black women, you know what I'm saying, or like man I saw some of the most egregious like in this like Mano Sphere being like, don't mess with the schnique was I don't mess with the dark skin. I was like, Nigga, I'll bust you in your face. You know what I'm saying. Because that's that's different that self hate. If you're like I just I fell in love with who I fell in love with.

That's one thing. You like this, But to say that you don't like your own it's like, nigga, like, what's going on with you? That's you're actively working against us. That's a different story. You ain't gotta tear down your sisters because you're into something else, Like man, that's fraudulent. What what what the homely consciously called it sucker solidarity. That's some sucker solidarity where it's niggas on some suckers ship need to get together and feel better about themselves.

So they say sucker ship things like that. No, man, suckers ship, you can like have be you know what I'm saying, Like, look, you married an Asian woman. You married an Asian ament. Okay, dope, but if you that's who you marry, that's who you fell low with. But on some like because I don't date black like, come on, fan, that's some self hate. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about self hate. I'm talking about a

diversity of experiences. So all that to say, again, with your political categories, they were placed after you're allowed to eat from whatever table you want to eat from. That's point number one. Now let me tell you point number two after this break, all right, Kyle, welcome back. After I just paused for two seconds and you guys heard a ton of ads. Um, I don't oh no, man, I mean that's there's a lot of ads. But at least we're making my money back here. Come on, guys,

smugg and free this show eight free. I mean really okay again, off topic? Uh, what's my next point? Okay? Point number two is okay, the categories are for organizational purposes. Doesn't mean that you can't substitute the sweet potato fries for the regular fries. You know, you can't switch out a bun for pretzel to brios. You know, you can have your your different opinions. But once you get into position you voted your guy in, you said, Okay, well,

there's I agree enough about this person their platforms. You know, everybody ain't perfect, you know what I'm saying, and but I agree enough generally that like your your general I think that the general moral compass of this particular group is probably something that I would rock with. Okay, So if that's that's your position, cool, You know, it is what it is. It's the only system we got until we can think of another one that's the best one

we got. Or maybe not the best one is the only one we got, but either way, we hear, it's time to now do the act of governing in the art of politics, you know, getting legislation passed and things on the books and checks cut, you know, just doing the actual work. One would believe and hear how I'm phrasing this that you have to compromise because you have multiple views, like you're representing the entire so everybody obviously

don't agree. You have to compromise somewhere. Man, one of the saddest stories I think coming out right now is Man, He's like, they're superintendents that like across this country that are thinking about killing themselves, like contemplated suicide because you just can't make everyone happy. People think like, you know, if you if you send these kids home, you know, that's a death wish. You know what I'm saying, You're you're you're folding, I'm gonna you're you know what I'm saying.

Like people so like willing to lay their life down on the fact that like these kids have to be in class with no masks. Either that or I'm you know what I'm saying, Food's getting death you know, death threat of their house or the other way around, being like you're literally killed my child if you made them go to school, and then you got school, you got the school, the teacher's orgs striking, you're in a like it's a no win. Foods are like, I can't make

anyone happy. You have to compromise. There has to be a place somewhere if you're going if you are in charge. I just wrote a blog about some of my other work. It's called I did a difficult thing. I'm on the board of directors for a nonprofit that I can't get into the specifics of about the particular situation, but I had to do something I didn't want to do. And part of that blog is expressing the weight you feel when you actually hold the levels of power, when you

actually have that iss. Look, man, it's one thing for us to yell from outside, but when you actually sitting there and you know there's a body count no matter what you decide, and one of them, one of them numbers in that body count might be your own, either literally or your career, whatever the case. Maybe there's a body count no matter what you decide. You think real differently about how you choose. What if it's even possible

to compromise. I guess that's the point. The point I'm trying to make for point number two is compromises necessary until you meet somebody that won't. There are if you ain't been paying attention, there's some people that just they're not compromising. This is what we won't. And sometimes look when you when you're the one that's willing to be for lack of better term logical at least like reasonable about something. Sometimes you're the loser because if the person

across the table ain't reasonable. Listen, I'm from the city. I can't tell you about how many times I'm standing in front of these vatos and like the only way to communicate with this hot head is to tell him I will die for my backpack. Of course, I'm I gotta die from that's ridiculous. And this fool really don't want my backpack. There's nothing in it except for a US history book, a couple of spray cands, a half eaten sandwich. I got nothing, like you know what I'm saying, Like,

but it's the principality to the situation. I should go to walk down this guy a meet out. You know what I'm saying, Like, this is me Vidio, Like, look when you grow out and take something, man, some niggas is unreasonable and I'm like, look, bro, look it's your world. Hold me, like, fam I'm not a part of none of this. I ain't repping no like, I'm not a part of this. I remember one dude yelled out the window, Hey are you from me? God? You know It's like, nah,

I live right here. It's just if I reasonably tell you know, nigked, like you know the rules. If you ask me where I'm from and I don't bang and I don't bang my hood, not only do you lose respect for and I actually am from the set you, not only do you lose respect. So this faith I'm about to get is like merciless. As soon as I get back to the block, I'm gonna catch another faith from my own block. So you know, if I don't stack on you immediately, it's because I'm honestly it's civiliar,

Like I don't like they could be reasonable. You know, I'm saying, but if you're talking to somebody that's not reasonable, guess who in In some situations, the unreasonable one gets its way. Y'are acting like y'all like Donald Trump was reasonable? That is not reasonable? You feel me. He's still trying to give people to adjudicate the election. He trying to say, if you, if you, if that's not your platform for your two mid term niggad and I'm not riding for you.

And you could see some of these Republicans squirming over this, like uh, some of them squirming him. Someone was like whatever, whatever it takes they put on for the city. YEA, saying like you you might run into somebody that is unreasonable or that just will not compromise. And when you run into somebody that will even in politics, if you run into somebody that's like, yo, I thank the whole thing. I burned the whole ship down. It's not happening. And

then what do you do? Which brings me to this third point, like it's we're living through it right now with the Voting Rights Act, Foods is willing to tank the in the Democratic Party, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Within the party. It's Foods that are like, I'm just not I'm not doing it, so it's compromised. Do you have to compromise in politics? I mean no, if you're willing to tank at all, if you're that's serious about your position, even the people that put you in back

like it. There are some people that just will not bend. Now why they won't bend, I mean, that's all different story. It might be because there's some bad securings going on there. That again that's who business. We wasn't a part of that discussion, but you know they didn't they didn't made a deal off the table with somebody else or somebody got some dirt on them. Now I want to come out, you know what I'm saying. So there's a reason why they may not bend. But the point is some people

don't bend. And I'm asking you this is your game. I'm asking you like, yeah, I mean, are you cool with that? Like? Is that somebody you won't represent you that's not willing to compromise at all? Well, it depends on, which brings me to my third point, what they're willing to bend on. Let's take another break. So this last point I want to bring up, I think is specifically specially.

I can't think of any other adjective. It's so crucial, so important for I'm gonna say, because I can only speak from my own scan, I'm gonna say black voters because of what we're going through with this filibuster and this John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now I've done an episode about filibuster. You know, filibuster whose the history of filipbustering, right, and what particularly this Voters Act is kind of coming from.

And Republicans are astute in their in their chest to say that the Democrats are tying this to the January six insurrection, and that's a bad faith comparison because not They're like, yo, that's not fair. You you're trying to manufacture rage. And the Democrats are like, okay, let me

explain this logic to you. They believed the election was fraudulent because of a big lie like talked about last week, and therefore asked all of their representative to change the voting laws because these are the things that made the selection fraudulent. So the so, while they might be absolutely correct that you're tying this to rage, the Democrats are like, well, nigger, I mean, I mean follow the logic, like this is

what this is how we got here. Y'all thought, y'all trying to change our rights for voting because you think that's how we cheated, despite again any evidence otherwise. That's what that's what y'all believe. So of course we're tying it to this. So the question you have to ask yourself now here go to game, like, Yo, this message is so important. Whoever you brought to the two, whoever

you voted for it to come to the table. When you choose that person, your most powerful thing is you check in that box to the person or the people you wanted to go off this, Why, here's your game. You have to ask yourself, if comp if you want somebody reasonable, and if compromises so important, who are what are they willing to put on the altar for the

sake of compromise? For so for if I take Biden's entire platform, the legacy of his presidency, and I asked myself him and everybody that comes with his party, of all the things that you told me you were going to do on the campaign trail, of all the things you said you was gonna do. Right, if you run into somebody that's not willing to ben, not willing to compromise, who are you going to throw on the altar first? Who you gonna sacrifice first? Are you gonna sacrifice Black people?

Are you gonna sacrifice the things that we asked you to do for the sake of compromise so that you can get your other things together? You're following me. You just wanted to be the president that brought everybody together, the Party of reason, the Party of justice. So now that it comes down to, okay, here's what I'm asking

of you about protection for our voting rights. Now, I'm gonna link some some some pages for you to understand exactly what's in the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which has to do with you know, mail in ballots, uh, felons being able to vote, like and as a side note about felons being able to vote, the fact that they can't is proof that our justice is m doesn't believe in rehabilitation. Because if you believed in rehabilitation, once you do your time, I should be able to get

my rights back. But you don't believe in that clearly, or you let felons vote. So that's a justice issue. And we all know it's black and brown people for the most part affected by these things, you know what I'm saying. So all that to say, once you look into those things, what are you willing to let go? What are you like, I this is a nonstarter. We're getting this. Is it climate? Yeah, that's important. Is it your infrastructure? Yeah, that's important. Is it the things that

the black community asked of you? Are you gonna bend on that? I need to know when ship hits the fan, are you gonna sacrifice my issues, our issues on the altar of compromise? For the sake of your overall legacy. Because what I'm what I'm getting at is that's usually what happens there's black issues. Democrats are walking around here like they got the moral high ground out this mug and they're like, hey, we really need you guys to

come out to vote. We like, Nigga, we came, we went, we did vote, and we're like all right, but like what you're gonna do though, And they're like, well, we can't have you know, these hate mongering right wing in here. It's like yeah, no, yeah, okay, but cool. But what are y'all gonna do? And they're like, well, you know, black lives matter. It's like, nigga know, okay, so but what you're gonna do though, That's what I'm like, you got you gotta keep keeping on their neck, like what

you're gonna do though? You can't just keep riding on these sayings. You know what I'm saying, Your platform can't be we not them, you know, saying like put in work, put on now, I will never you will never hear me ever in my whole life ever, pit struggling minorities, you know, poor bipoc people against each other. I will never ever do that because that's self defeating. I'm not that. Like. If you know me, like I believe deeply in the

realities and the necessity of intersectionality. I absolutely but I'm I'm you call me what you want. I believe that that is cornerstone to all of our survival. So having said that, the Asian Hate Crime Bill went through, we still didn't get to George, Florida through. We were sacrificed that ain't no this to the Asian community. They understood the assignment and got the ship done. That first Native American senator, that sisterhood that got the the monument in

you talk protected and covered, she understood the assignment. That's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to get to the table, put on for yours, get your issues taken care of. I'm not dissing them. They understood the assignment. I'm talking about us. We know where we stand with conservatives because Mitch McConnell got on that thing and said nothing wrong with your voting rights and nobody taking that

from you. I don't understand what this laws for. It's like, Okay, Nick, I know where you wanted, I know where you stand the homies in Atlanta when Cliff all Right, he's and I don't know, and I'm saying the homies just as a general thing. But Cliff all Bright, he's he's from Black voters matter down there in Atlanta. When the President and the Vice President went down to Atlanta to talk about, you know, do some speeches about this act and about

changing the laws as filibus. So they was like, don't come here. You ain't good out here. Don't come here if you ain't got a plan, Nigga, don't. I don't want to hear nothing out your mouth unless it's one two and three. Nigga, you're gonna break this filibuster. You're gonna get this law passed or not. I don't want to hear nothing that you down to do that you open to, nigga, get the ship done. If you're not

gonna get it done, don't come. And in my mind, that's the type of energy I feel like this this alright, I feel like that's the type of energy we gotta have. We put you on. I'm speaking specifically right now to the black community. They get ask us we did this. We can't keep getting sacrificed on the altar of compromise, like our it's our communities issues. And then you know what they give us. They give us a quarter. They they oh, they give us my Angelo on the quarter.

This ain't no shade to my Angelo. She's an icon. Am I happy to see a black woman on the quarter. Yeah. You know what I'd love to see, though, serious talk about reparations. I'd love to see a serious talk about our writes to vote, about prison reform, about allowing felons that, I mean, thanks making Juneteenth the national holiday, Nikki, we celebrated it already. I mean, thank you, don't get me wrong. And it's no shade to the to the black people at the table. I've been trying to get this past

for a long time. Cool, thank you. You know. Sometimes I'll be telling my daughter, hey, baby, I need you to do the dishes by nine o'clock. That's your chores, all right, do the dishes by nine o'clock. I walk in the house is nine thirty dishes ain't done, and I'm like, what the hell, baby, And she's like, I cleaned my room and I'm like, great, well, look I swept the floor. Awesome, Hey, I vacuumed amazing. Great, and she all disappointed that I'm not happy that she did

those other things. And I'm like, fam, do the dishes by nine, and that's like I don't understand. I mean, artists is great, thank you. I sent you there to do the dishes and do the damn this what why you want me to be happy about this? And sometimes I feel like you gotta treat these politicians the same way I treat my child. We have to say, baby, listen, thank you so much for cleaning your room. I am proud of you for taking this initiative. And I need

you to do what I ask you to do. There's a reason why I asked you to do that specifically. I appreciate you going above and beyond, but I need you to do what I asked you to do. So here's my game, guys, here's the I think right now going into the mid terms, be willing to look for deep cut candidates because sometimes them deep cut candidates really

just shift the conversation. It makes those like um more big name candidates have to talk that talk, have to do the stuff because we're like, listen, you don't we don't have to send you the office. Oh yeah, you don't have to. I'm gonna use a white boy reference here. You know, in Momford and Sons one Autumn Grammys, they

were on an independent label. They weren't. They weren't on a major and that was a wake up call to the major labels because it was like, Oh, you mean somebody don't have to be with us too, when no, they don't. So you need to ask yourself, are my issues going to be what you sacrifice for the sake of getting the job done? And I don't know if you can stand for that, but I'm not sure I could let that ship ride. Hood politics, y'all. It's so hood right now, book politics, y'all. So hood yeah. This
