IAGHY PT 2 SCOTUS Said "Go Ask Your Mother"

a lot of y'all to these classics. M of course it's a good number of you who already know this stuff. But do you know the song? Me myself and I. It's just me myself and I do. Oh hey, you know you got that, you got break it done, you got I mean, just so many classics, so many classics.

Backstory is they've been in this long legal battle with Tommy Boy, who wouldn't give up their masters, and just a really long, terrible, like nightmare scenario for the music industry, especially for some leaders like day Lot, who ain't never hurt nobody. I don't know nobody that don't love Daylight even listen. I got a lot of friends. I got a chance to do about three four shows with them. I'm like, these are the greatest humans who've made the

y'all who and YO genre. I don't know, y'all weirdos in the best way. I don't know what music y'all in? How could who could I compare this to their royalty? These three men created a whole sound my buddy, dude, mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I say what Just anyway, today their music finally hit streaming platforms, but it was a month after one of them actually passed away and all of hip hop really more or the loss of Plug two. So today it has just officially Daylight day.

So we've been streaming. If you follow me on any of my social media, you know I've been talking about Daylight all day. Matter of fact, look on terraform, cobrew dot com. Look, I'm gonna put a I'm gonna put a promo code Daylight on there. When this come out, tweet direct DM me y'all blasting some Daylight soul, and I'm gonna get y'all a promo code. You feel me, y'all With it. Listen, man, God, that's one of the beats that I'm singing all wrong. But anyway, man, you know,

the stakes is high. I say start with that. Steaks is High is the album that changed my life. You know, some people started with Daylight Soul is Dead. I was too young for three feet High and Rising, but Daylight Soul is Dead changed me. The grind Date has the song with MF. Doom also rest in pieces. So weird hearing this song knowing that they both passed away. Anyway, this is part two of I Ain't gonna hold you man,

I can't call it. We're gonna talk about what might possibly be the call that the Supreme Court makes over what to do with the Internet? Hook politics, y'all. You know Rocket to the break done, Break could done? One

two one two, Break could done? Yo. Actually, you know what this actually does kind of fit into the topic we're talking about, how like we still ain't figured out how to do the Internet because they listen, you take these og artists right who signed their deals pre streaming, right that have deals that say, you know, if you sell a certain amount, you get a certain percentage and then of their record sales. Right, But that was pre streaming. So a lot of labels went back and said, well,

your deal was for physical, you know, distribution. So when they upload these albums to streaming, they're like, we really don't owe you anything because streaming didn't exist. So since it wasn't marked inside of their deals. A lot of og artists like again who were who had deals that were they were they're called terrestrial distribution, which basically means it's physical right, they don't get no percentage or royalties off their streams because streams didn't exist. But you know

that shady because streams still transfer as record sales. They still own those are oh my masters, Like those are still those artists masters. And if you're telling me that certain amount of streams equals a certain amount of record sales and their deal was for record sales, then you owe these artists millions and millions of dollars. And my point is we still don't know how to do the Internet, which leads us to what we've been to talk about

right now. Okay, so last week I talked about YouTube being sued by the families of people who passed away in a terrorist attack in France. They're suing YouTube for aiding and abetting in radicalizing the people who carried out this terrorist terrorist attack in France. We talked about last week, like the laws that were set up to govern the Internet. I mean they were set in ninety six in the same way that music. You know, before we had streaming,

your deals looked a certain way. And then think about it like this, After streaming you had the advent of like the TikTok hit. You know, before streaming you had like the ringtone songs. You know what I'm saying, Like you had to redo all your deals because technology was moving faster than the law. You have to remember, the American government is not designed to be nimble. It's not designed to move as fast as culture and as technology designed.

It's all purpose designed to be slow, which is crazy if you think about it, because nothing else in our culture is designed to be slow, unless we talk about that barbecue, that slow cook, that drive, unless we talk about make it live, feel like making love. I'm sorry, y'all, I'm in such a good mood because I'm listening to daylight, so I've been listening in daylight all day. I apologize. I see y'all, goofy right now. Anyway, y'all really getting

a glimpse into my personality right now. Anyway, some stuff is just so hard to express, Like you know, you hate being like yo, you had to be there, but low key you kind of if man, if you just understood what was going on in culture and why, like the staying power of somebody like a Daylight Soul who's like transcended multiple generations of hip hop, Like they go so far back and so far forward, and they've been able to maintain such a relevancy and just how horrible

their label treated them for so long, and to finally get a victory right when one of them passed was just it's just such a story anyway. So the Internet was based on laws that was set in ninety six that was like you can't sue the utility company for the appliance you plug in, you know, you have to go to the content creator. Right, So some people believed it was because we want to see this internet flourish, we want to see it grow. Like again, our laws,

our government, they are just people. Institutions are made up of persons who have a desire to see certain things grow or shrink. You know. Sometimes they like to believe it's for altruistic reasons, you know, or sometimes it's nefarious. Sometimes we just disagree. But the point is the Internet was so new you couldn't imagine it, like how do you get like you there was no way for them to know this is where the internet was going. Like we said last week, nobody even thought you could sell

things on the internet. And I don't know what else we do on the internet besides buy stuff, stream songs and watch things. But you couldn't imagine that then, Like right now, think about think about things in your life that are absolutely normal, that are just regular regular. Your mind has been changed. I don't know if y'all remember the episode where I was giving y'all like reading assignments, and one of those books was called The Sacred Canopy.

And this is a perfect example of how that works. Where we make culture, then culture makes us right because now our brains can't think of think of stuff that like you couldn't even them in ninety six. That I don't know how we exist without it. I think one obviously, smartphones is one of those things because like you remember, if you were, you know, old enough to be sentient

in ninety six, you used to memorize phone numbers. I believe I my brain biologically cannot memorize a phone number anymore. The only number I know is mine and my wife's my daughter. Out of luck, I don't know anyone's phone number. And in ninety six I could ramble off dozens of them. You just you rapped. I'd like, I'm trying to remember, because Okay, so I was a latch key kid. Now

some of y'all, y'all, that might be really before your time. Mike, latch key kid meant that, like, by the time I left for school, was nobody at the house because every my sister was so much older than me, and my mama was already at work, and when I got home was nobody there. I would walked home, and my sister, again, she was so much older than me, she wouldn't get home till like four five o'clock in the evening. You know, I'm an elementary school kid. I'm home by two fifteen.

I'm just at the crib. You know, like I look, I came from. I'm from that generation. We You know, you made your own lunch, you walked, packed your own lunch, you walk to school, you walk home, you made your own snack. You're waiting for somebody to call home. But but since this is pre cell phone, I had to, like I had to call one of my parents at work to tell them I was home, so they knew

I was there, right, so I'd walk in. And I'm trying right now as I'm doing this in real time for the life of me, trying to remember my mom's work phone number. But I would. I could die elt in, have no idea, it's gone. Why can't any of us remember phone numbers because our phone remembers it like smartphones, I don't. I can't do it. It's made my brain different. I can't remember. You used to have to actually know where you were going, rather than just putting an address

into a device. I used to know where I was going. Now that's one thing. Like I'm just I'm from the city, so like it's very important you know where you are. Sometimes the maps don't read the hoods, the maps don't notice sets, so sometimes the map may say it's faster for you to cut down sixty seventh Street. I'm telling you right now, do not cut down sixty seven street. You know what I'm saying. So I definitely know where I am, because that was a means of surful case.

Just be following that blue dot down or wrong? Alie, you understand I'm talking about there? Like, what are you talking about? You're safe? This route is five minute faster. No, this route is eternally longer because I'm oda, So I had going down that anyway. Nobody knew that like the Internet was going to be where it was, you know, hindsights obviously, as you know. But now we're here, and the people deciding what the rules are for the Internet

didn't understand the Internet in ninety six either. So this is where we are. The question is who's liable and how do we go forward? And the point I kept making last week is that no matter what they decide, this is Lewis Lewis, it's gonna break the Internet in one way or another. So that being said, let's talk about some of the suggestions they made after this break. All Right, we're back. So I guess you know we're back because you hear my voice and probably the sound

came anyway. It's just stuff that podcasters say. Also side note, I just saw accordingly report. We're doing good man. You guys are sharing the joint keep sharing the joint. Maybe one day I'll actually make a dive from this, maybe get a couple of royalty Maybe I'll get a royalty check years up saying, you know these ads that y'all be hearing, that's that's paying back the advance your stokes. They paid me a base pay to be able to

take the time to do this. I ain't made no money sense yourself, So y'all keep threeving this I can, so I can make it into the black. You say, anyway, Internet, Internet, It's called recoupable costs. Here's where we are. You know. The Supreme Court was supposed with a situation and they was like, shit, I can't call it right. So their first suggestion was, well, this looked like this looked like a Congress situation. We think Congress need to pass a law.

That's our answer. Supreme Court basically was like, Uh, ask your mother. Listen, I'm a dad. Okay, let me tell you how many times this is what they first thought. Let me tell you how many times one of my child, one of my child, one of my cheering came to me and asked me a question. Now here's a thing. Not only am I, but daddy I'm a black daddy, and unfortunately, my default to anything they ask me is no, leave me alone. I don't know where this old crotchety

black man inside of me is. It's just I'm like, no, the first time they asked me something, First, I'm gonna look around and see if you're asking me for something in the presence of unfinished chores, Like listen. I know I'm a rapper, I know, listen, listen, listen, listen. I don't know what to tell you. An old black man somehow is climbing its way. I ain't got a gray hair on my body, but I tell you what, that

old black man is coming up out. So my first thought is like, I ain't a way you're asking me for anything in the presence of in his chores. So that's my first thought. So first thing is I'm gonna look around. Sometimes it's because I'm it's embarrassing, but I'm looking for a reason to say no. But most of the time what they're asking me is rather reasonable. I'm trying to break generational curses here. I'm trying to break

some habits. See generationally, that's what it did. So and because when you kind of got that black dass scenario. Your children don't ever want to come to you anyway. They're like, uh, he's just gonna say no. Look, I'm gonna asking something. He gonna give me a chore. Right. I hate it, but it's so true. So look, I'll be wanting my kids to come have fun. Now. I'm fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm hell of fun. Like I'm the one wrestling with him. I'm the one tickling with them.

I'm the one if we go to like a fair or an amusement part. My wife, you know, doctor Alma, she don't. She don't do roller coasters, you know. So for my older daughter, like it was me like I'm the one. I'm like you want to get on Yes, let's go get on it. You understand what I'm saying, Like I'm the one doing that. Now we paired off because it's not like we're not both fun. Because the

dock she got the sweet tooth. So if you ask if she go, if one of the kids be like I feel like ice cream, the dock is like absolutely, and she's immediately DoorDash ice cream. They're immediately hopping into the car like so she's y'all wants to donuts. I wants to donuts, like immediately they start with dessert because i'ma got the sweet tooth, you know, so we share the wealth. But most of the time, I because my kids don't talk to me the way they talk to

their mama. I don't know what they didn't dealt with. I don't know what they didn't figure it out. I don't know what law or rule has changed in our house right while I was away. You understand what I'm saying, because let's be real, I live in a queendom. It is a matriarchy in my house. The cat and the hamster are also women, like everything, and then we got all these plants, and apparently the plants of girls too.

I just like, I can't there's nothing. I am the only white crowso for miles, I'm saying, so sometimes I really don't be knowing the answer. Not only that, I'd be tired of being the one saying no. So they asked me something, I really don't have an answer. I'll be like asking mother because I don't know, or do I not want to decide. I look, I can't call it dad, Can I have a dessert? Asking mama? I don't look hey, what are we doing today? Asking Mama, Hey,

can I go to did you ask you? Mother? Like, because I just sounds like a mom decision to me, because I really don't have an answer. You feel me. I out gun and out man. Sometimes I walk in the house, I'm like, hey, uh, why you ain't do the dishes? She's like, Mom said, I don't have to do it? Like what excuse me? I'm listening, I'm dadding

up to. All I'm saying is basically the Supreme Court was like asking mother, right, Congress like, hold wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, don't you put that evil on us. We don't know what we're doing either. Don't you put that evil on me? Ricky Bobby, Congress like look and again, I can't stress this enough. Our governing system, it is purposely designed to be slow because you want to make sure that every voice is heard. At least that's the design. And it ain't what's happening

because of lobbying and other reasons. But millions of them gestures while money. You know what I'm trying to say. The point is, but the design is so that every voice is heard, that we were thoughtful about what we decide that the system of checks and balances are not, like we don't run ahead of ourselves. Make sure we're not making stuff that's like we're gonna have to veto later or undo later, although obviously we do it all

the time, you know what I'm saying. But the design is not it's not designed to move as fast as the tech world is, because again the tech world is new, like we've never seen nothing like this technology moving faster. Like you have to remember and like, and I know I sound like an old head, but like, like, please keep this in mind. From nineteen hundred to nineteen sixty,

we went from like horses to space. Fam Like, you have to look, if you look at like you look at the world in ten thousand BC, and then you look at the world in eight thousand BC, pretty much the same as the world in five thousand BC, as the world in two thousand BC. It's pretty much it's you guys, new niggas in charge. It's pretty like I it's pretty much just pretty much the same technologically speaking. Of course, there were some big things that the ancient

Romans came up with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to flatten all history. I'm just saying it moved a lot slower, just pretty much, just generally, if you lived in eighteen oh one and you lived in eighteen eighty, it's just you're it's just that London smelled like bodily feces because there was no sewage just for the whole

eighty years. Like it was pretty much the same. Well you get you get an extra wheel on your carriage, you know what I'm saying, Like it's the same, and then we go for we go from like that to space like in under one hundred years, so we'd like that world just got just changed. Our systems not designed

to keep up with that type of change. So the first suggestion was like, yo, Congress, Congress is like nigga, well, I don't know what to do, asking mother, your mother, like what now even your kids that is your child you arepare to. You need to give some guidance so that the next thought would be, well, what have other parents done? And as Congress thinks about what other parents have done, let's lay out the lay of the land here. It's like, first of all, let's we are both sides

of that. I'll agreed as something wrong, But like if nobody's happy. There's got to be something to happen. You have, like obviously, you know, the left leaning liberal sort of side is like, yo, they need some oversight, they need some regulations, right, and then you have these are broad strokes, you know, right side being like we need our freedom, you know what I'm saying, they need They're like, they need some oversight, but so that you would stop suppressing

conservative voices, you know what I'm saying. Like there are everybody's thinking that the other people are the problem, but actually don't understand the problem. It's like, look, look, look, look, look to me, this is the bleeding heart white NGO going into third world countries, going into the global South thinking they got an answer, thinking the answers this or the answers that, like Nikki, y'all not you're not forged these fires, y'all don't understand the layer of the land already.

You may have your solution that you think might work like this, but you won't understand how this stuff work right here. You know, it was a big thing with Tom Shoes. You know, I'm really I'm really going back to the early Yotts, you know what I'm saying, Tom shoes with the one for one thing. It's like, you buy a par of these dumb ass shoes, which I had a pair. I'm gonna keep it real. You know, I was hipster hop you know what I'm saying. I knew some folks that worked at Tom's. It was good folks,

you know. But you get a pair of them slippers and they send another pair of back to Africa, you know, or some sort of developing country, which is you know, by default, putting a shoemakers out of business in Africa. You understand what I'm saying. So like you just you pulling one level, you're creating this other problem. It's like, how do we solve this free speech situation? Because if you put this regulation in there, you're gonna say, again, who gets to be in charge of the regulatory body?

Who gets to set those rules? And when do you infringe on free speech? Niggas? Nobody knows? But here you let's ask some other parents. Let's ask some other folks like, well, what how did y'all what were some of y'all solutions? And the other parents they asked, was the EU talk about what they came up with? Next? So look, so here's what the EU did. They went the regulatory reporting

body situation. So when the EU, what you gotta do is you have to send in reports, like if you're if you're a big tech company, you have to you have to report to this regulatory body who can enact certain types of punishments if you don't step in when it was obvious you should have. Yeah, y'all following me, like where this board can look at this and be like, okay, look there's there was a problem brewing here. Y'all should have said something, you know, and they can and whatever

those punishments are. Listen, I'm not in the EU. Whatever those punishments are, you know, sometimes they're fine, sometimes they're shut down, whatever the case may be. You got to do that. Now, how could they do that over there? Well, one that that's not America. D ain't got the same less a fair economics we got. Da ain't got the same First Amendment, you know, a cult that we got right. But also think of it like this. You have regulatory bodies.

Your utilities companies have to report, right, you know, the LADWP, Department of Water and Power. They can't just be all willy nilly with this. They have to report what they do and are your power companies? They got to report? Why? Because those are utilities? Now, how could the you do this? It's because they believe the Internet is a utility. You're following me. They just fundamentally think of the Internet different again, they think of the Internet the way we think of

like cell phone service. Like it's Verizon, Like Verizon can't just do what they want. You know what I'm saying.

They have there's regulations you feel me? Right? So if America can't come up with its own laws or its own things, like by default, if you're a company, you're like, well, I don't want to have to report, like if all of y'all all got different laws, I'm just gonna like I just eventually what's gonna happen is the EU's laws if we don't come up with something, will be the laws for the Internet at least if you want to like be able to you know function you know or

I don't. I don't know. What I'm trying to say is we're off the map. You understand it might be by default because you know, again, you ain't trying to report to like seventeen different people just so you can do Yay, it's ridiculous. I need one set of laws right because it's it wouldn't be financially, the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze. Y'all understand what I'm saying here, I'm gonna leave space like you're answering me, did juice

ain't worth the squeeze? If America come up with these set of laws and you you're this, you're Google, and you like dog this like obeying y'all, stuff just don't make It's just not this money is I'm just like, you're taking money out of my mouth. Here. What they're gonna do, They're gonna move the company to the UK and we'll just report to them. I'm telling you, it's gonna break the internet. So if you do nothing, you know,

we keep having the same problems. We have blood beyond their shoulders, blood beyond their hands because we've been trying to like, look, we didn't try to tell y'all. We didn't even brought this whole thing, you know, up up to y'all. Like, who do you turn to if other than the Supreme Court? Right, Supreme Court do something? Companies leave the country. Don't even obey our laws because they like, your laws cost too much. We're gonna invade airs. Now,

you didn't broke our industry. And then let's just say you do come up with some sort of regulatory laws that like a tenable for these companies. Who gets to be in charge of those who writes the laws? Who who? Yeah, I don't know. Matter of fact, let me tell you something. You know, Old Mark zucks he suggested a panel to govern over the entirety of the Internet. Everybody laughed him out of this place because it's like so like a u n for the Internet. Money, Like He's like, yeah,

how do you decide who gets on it? It's like because you're a billionaire, you know how some people just money be doing that to you. You know the kid that got twenty dollars at the ice cream truck all of a sudden, he feels like he the maharaji. You feel me like nigga, just because you got twenty Your mama gave me twenty dollars on me. You like, who came by cool? Listen, if any of these tech people then show taught you something is that you cannot buy cool,

that's probably the next one. Because that's what I'm telling you That's what Elon experienced. And look, nigga, you can't buy cool homie. You can't buy it because you're still are weird though you feel me. Oh, marky Zunky came by cool homie. You can buy cool things. Came by cool. So why do you get to be in charge of A or the damn Internet your company? Big? I mean, you're smarter than anybody. I like, really, Uh, I can't call it. Ask your mother? So what did the Supreme

Court decide? They haven't. We ain't gonna know till June. That's like your mama being like, let me think about it. I can't call it, y'all, but I do know Steakes is high. You know, the stakes is high stream, daylight, soul politics. You know. I don't know why I ain't thought of this before, but you know you could use promo code hood forward fifteen percent off on terraform coldbrew dot com. Like I forgot I own that company and this is my pod, y'all, go ahead and punch it

promo code hood. If you're in the cold Brew, it gets cobrew, gonna get you some coffee. Yeah, Like, I can't believe, I ain't think it is still right now, yo, y'o. This thing right here was recorded by Me Propaganda and East Low Spoiled Heights, Los Angeles, California. This thing was mixed, edited, mastered, and scored by the one and the only Matt Olsowski. Y'all check out this fools music. I mean, it's incredible.
