Thanks for best friend. I appreciate it, but I am doing for Special. I should. I should probably do it right, you are do like super Dude, I'm gonna do it

for the year is out. I'm gonna shoot it. The thing about it, I had shot one. I was gonna put it out. I shot it right before the pandemic, and then it became not relevant anymore. I'm so. I'm the type of comic that, like, I'm very current. So you have anything, I mean, if anything coming out, it has been so very current, like you know, a few

months current. So that's specially. I shot that in December of like nineteen oh yeah, and then sucking March there's a whole pandemic over I can't mean, but it's okay. People will still pay for it. I would have to put that out. You gotta be something later, but I have to do something on the pandemic. My material right now on what's going on in America right now is dope is Hype is the funniest ship. Like I think

you could do like a four hour special. I've seen you two hours and that time, I'm not gonna you. And you've been touring this whole pandemic. You haven't stopped anything, but no, no, no, we stopped from March to July kind of like went back in August, right, pandemic was like March and then we've started it. Like, I think the whole world is really waiting for you. You born in Los Angeles, went to Jersey. While who goes from and go to Jersey from the hot to the Clear

parents go there for my dad is from Jersey. Okay, well part of Jersey, Jersey City, I know, Jersey City make you feel that drive back. Jersey City is a nice school. It is right, it's Jersey City is right before you get over that bridge to New York. It's like right, there right? Was he close to the Lincoln or Hollington the world? I always thought it was strange that they claim Liberty the Statue of Liberty as New York, but it's really in Jersey. They always say, oh New York,

and oh yeah, it's an award. It's like New Jersey official New Jersey Warters, Jersey Warter. I didn't know that. I did not do in the Statue of Liberty? Was the Statue of Liberties owned by your friends friends from France? Who Rudy Gilbert's families, They're from France. Run they dropped it off from France? Did they come from friends Liberty? I didn't know that it was made. It was created in France. And the gift to the US, Yeah, motherfucker, yeah,

they owned that, Mike. They might represent it anything they want. So why was it a gift to like for Americans the latter man like? What was the gift? Was it given a gift like a symbol of peace piece after their revolution and donor our revolution and they helped us. I had no fucking idea, I'm said the Corson heard how about this? Seven regions of France represents the celebrations friends, I didn't know I did it this to your liberty?

Was the fucking was a French lady? And then uh, what is that called the Eiffel Tower is owned by? Was that a gift to the fun? I will see how that she got delivered? A gift from George Washington too?

Listen to my top five AfroB artists. Right, that's tough. It's gonna be tough. Your top five, and then we will go to arm who's to use night number one? Let's go, let's just pick five first, no particular order.

Obviously Bernard Boy obviously we're kid. Obviously, David because that's what everyone talks about. And then the other two that you think me and myself of course obviously I would. I would have to say m M from East Africa. You can put Diamond in there. You can put him in there, Diamond from Tanzania, you can kill him in there. Yeah, definitely top Uh we need more, right, Um, Casper and your vest South Africa. Um, there's millions. Ye, she's huge.

That's not twenty. I mean I'm just then because we had like seven then, but I've been naming all of them. You need to you gotta. You don't know any Chinese's friend Mike is Mike. You got to show him more. I know I didn't, you know, I don't. I haven't listened the tons in the GLA. Maybe I've heard this song. I didn't know who it was. Okay, it's it's a guy. Yeah, um you do you understand Swahili barely the state? I ain't heard that a girl? So have you heard it? Oh?

Keati is dope? Keatie is amazing? How about South Africa? Who name Casper? Here's a guy, he's a guy, he's a rapper. I think he's incredible. He's a dope performer. Is he better than the other guy that did that song? Re saying he's like that he had that boody hot song right now. He's vocalistic, vocalistic, way different vibe, way different vibe, way different. But I mean Casper does he does. I'm a piano too, but he's a rapper, so he does, and then he's a I don't know how to explain it. Casper.

Casper has performed on like sold out stadiums on his own seventy thousand people. Yeah. Everyone I'm mentioning is like done something pretty pretty? Um? Yeah, all of them? Because I mean you name those top three, I gotta think I'd come out of those top three between the video Whiskid Burnable it you think those are the top three after beat because they're definitely on the worldwide. I would have to say that. Then Brennard just got really I guess when nominated. He went a Grammy that she got

nominated one time and then she would finally wanted. Yeah he did win it this ship, right he won? He didn't win, Okay, So between Brenda Boy, David and whist Kid, those are the top three. I mean, did don't make a song every hour. He's probably making a song right now. You know. Brenda Boy I think came from like underground, and then Bull made his way to the top, and then whiz Kid has just like I mean, you know, he has just I mean, right now, let's narrow it down.

Let's just narrow it down. It's down to three, down to two. So let's let's take DAVIDO out. Okay, alright, and we're gonna be started the movement. Well, I mean no, well, no, no, stay out of this one because I don't I don't want, I don't want all right, so let's let's let's try to faked. Now. We got the yeah, we got Whiskid and the body song, right how the song the body, my body whatever? With the song is with Thames. I'm

gonna going back to what that's the biggest song right now? Honestly, like that that really is in the song of the moment. So if you want to talk about what's the biggest right now, it's Whiski period two years years, last year it was Berna. Right now, it's Wi. The year before that it was David because remember David had and then after that it was Berna because he had Yea and everything else. And then now it's definitely back to Whisky. So it'll be interesting to see who's next. But I'm trying.

I'm going back to the big because afrobeaks to me, you know, especially being introduced to like America. It just happened in last five years. You had a lot to do with it too. I mean I've played it and I showed love to Way. But between Joanna and if I think those were like those were they were competing, yes, yeah, you know, because any not right now, if you're going to any club, any hip hop club, they played Jouanna no Joanna. If those I think those two songs made

the breakout. Those two songs are probably the most problem be blew it up. But right now, like this this new song right now, this new one with Times is definitely the biggest with whisky. Yeah, definitely, of course. And it was so hot that of course just got on the remix and it remixing got on remix. What did What did you think about the song? The remix with Justin Do you like his verse? You know, I like it. I've never I've never really cared about Justin b Well,

I heard it. How do you feel about it? You like it? Okay? It kind of introduced the a lot of the other race because Justin gunn in bowl. See, it just helps the It reminds me of the reggae back in the nineties. Yeah, that happy vibe. It's a very peaceful place everything. I mean, I think I think what it is is like you know a lot of African music. I don't want to call it like escapism, but we like we need to escape our problems with music.

We need something to make us dance. We needed something that we forget about what you're going through and just come dance. That's the vibe. So that's the reason why you know, people don't really think about the Africias bestairs. Even there's a few songs that talk about the struggles like the one Techno did with the Another Month but whatever anyway, but I feel like whatever the just like what Nira did with the with that song, doing that, that whole thing with Nigerians going right. But even so

it's still up Temple. You'll still be dancing. You'll read dancing too your that's not political or even if you go far back, it's like Fella Cutie right, he was making politically, but you still definitely dance like that. Mike Duhy, he made one It's called nothing. I was talking about, dick, motherfucker. Mike, I thought you were talking about.
