Hey everyone, welcome to the latest episode of Hammer Time Podcast. This episode is me and Lin here to chat. Hello everyone.
Before we officially start recording this episode, let me say a few words to the new listeners. Because recently, I and Lao Lin have also discovered some new listeners. Especially, every time Lao Lin releases a new show on Douban, or if there is a new broadcast, we both will find a lot of new fans. And then, this fan,
I can see that many of you have been talking about the show since 2019, 2020. I want to say a few more words. Actually, I don't think this show is very clear from 2019 to 2020. I think I was pretty childish at that time.
I think it's been five years since I started this show. I think I was young when I first started this show. At that time, I didn't have many ideas. But people are going to grow up. In the past few years, I think my opinions and my position have changed.
So I just want to tell the new listeners that if you listen to some shows from the 19th and 20th years, it can only represent my point of view at that time. In these years, I may have become different. But even though I sometimes feel very childish in those shows, I still want to keep it and don't want to delete it. If I delete it, I think I lost the part I once thought about.
I think this is very normal. Because I think that between 20 and 30 years old, your life changes and experiences are actually very different. At this time, there are many views that you see as vague, naive and contradictory. I think these are very important parts of the growth stage. It's also very common.
Sometimes when I see the audience going back to the 2019 show, I feel a little bit sad. You know? I just thought, I was pretty stupid at that time, but I still don't have the courage to listen to old shows. Because I think there are some things in old shows that I feel a little uncomfortable listening to myself. You know? Not really. It's okay. I think you...
Because I've been thinking about this recently. You said that we... Actually, from the time of 2019, Lin has been my partner. And until now, in these years, Lin has made a big change in me. It's not just about the choice of listening to music and the starting point from the perspective of the point of view. In fact, many opinions on music, including some opinions on this industry, some analysis of social problems, in these years, we have actually changed more or less.
Yes, definitely. So the old show can only represent our own time, especially me. Because I was quite high-spirited in 2019. I felt a little bit self-sacrificing. At that time, some opinions may make you feel a little uncomfortable. So I just want to say that I can only represent myself at that time. It's okay. It's all fine.
I'm also very grateful that everyone is watching this show. I don't know where this source came from, but I saw a lot of new subscribers. On the one hand, I'm very happy, but on the other hand, I'm also worried. Because if you listen to old shows from the beginning, you will feel that it is a bit different from my current image. It's okay. I actually think I've changed a lot in recent years.
Especially since the second year, I think this podcast is starting to be more stable since the second year. I really thought about what I should do in this podcast since the second year. And what kind of direction should I be in? What kind of attitude should I have? Or what kind of idea should I share with you? These things I like. Before that, I was really naive in many ways. What did you see? I just said what I saw.
I think
We don't trust you.
Because before, the two of them had some issues. This time they are very active in the album. Future and Drake are also very active. The biggest point is that there is a song.
Because when they released the album, no one knew who was going to sing it. And then that song came out with Drake. And then the band was so popular that they gave it to both Drake and... J.Cole. J.Cole. Yeah, they both gave it to them. Mainly because of this. And then Rick Rose sang it in the album. And then... Anyway, it was a success. Including...
We still don't trust you.
And Drake is also... His song was released today, right? Yes. He also responded a few hours ago. Oh, last week... No, not last week. It was the song that was responded by J.Cole a few days ago. Was it last week? I forgot. Anyway, J.Cole came out in the middle and responded to it. But the song caused some counter-effects. It's also... Very long. It was last week. Yes.
Very awkward. And then Draco, well, later on, he said it was too awkward. He's already removed the song. Yeah. And then Yaya, Drake, is now, today, also making a response. And then Rosé made a second response. So this is still a space for development. Let's see.
We've been watching Lezi recently and we're so happy. Yeah, it's fun. I think it's pretty good. I haven't heard this one. The funniest thing is that at first, Yaya and I had a good relationship, but then we all turned our backs on each other. All because of women. I thought Future and I had a good relationship, but they also had a fight because of their ex-girlfriend's affair.
um
It's funny. I think Rick Ross's song was funny a few hours before the release. He said it well. Yeah, it's funny. I feel like Rick Ross is always easy to brag about. This is obviously a joke. He said two big lines and then scolded one. It's also because of ex-girlfriend.

Very interesting. But I don't hate Bif. I don't hate him. Although I think Drake is annoying. But I think Yaya is actually pretty good. Right? Look at him. Right. We're not saying we hate him. Look at Yaya. She even had a abdominal surgery.
This is an example for other men. You know, you want to please women. You want to be a sex god. You just lead yourself well. Don't let us women do BBL for you one day. Do breast surgery for you. You men should also roll up. Do a abdominal surgery. Do some enlargement surgery. See the body, right? You should also please us. I hope all men are rolled up.
反正他这个也不是什么血海深仇那种感觉,就是娱乐性挺强的,挺好的。 支持男人做腹肌手术和增大手术。 挺逗的,挺逗的。 我看最近希望阿石哥哥,因为这事还连发好几个,好几期在讲这事呢。
Of course, because this is really fun. And the connection is very wide. Wang Qingshi has always been quite unappreciative of Yaya. It's just fun. I think Yaya also found a lot of people to think about where Yali is. It's pretty amazing, it's fun to think about it anyway. Provided us with a lot of material. Yes, that's right.
其实这个真的不太算是 underground hip-hop 那个类别的。 对对对。 但是就是因为那个时候是经常把他们就一块给说了, 所以就是我也写在那个列的那个里边。
嗯嗯嗯然后我回头想了一下其实嗯的酷可以聊的还挺多的而且也是因为老林的推荐我又好好听了一下的酷我觉得嗯可以说的可以值得讨论非常多而且尤其是在当下就是整个这个环境里面嘛为什么我们还需要再回顾一下的酷以及他的主脑 boost riley 他创作的这些作品其实我觉得是对我们现在的生活情况和这个
社会现状是有一些启发和反思性的。 对,反正说的那些事儿都是长久以来存在的问题吧, 在今天也依然适用嘛。 对,你会看到的酷,它是来自于奥克兰, 然后因为这个地域的话,他们的风格其实就是,
very western, very easy to sing but the content they talk about is very political and has a strong political propaganda purpose. Bush said his music is for political propaganda. Because he is very, there is no cover, he said I am a communist, we are a communist singing group. Yes, he said this
其实还行吧,我觉得他意识形态上的那个倒也没有说特别
um
It's not that important. I think it's important. Especially in the early days, they mentioned more. But later, it's still mainly about their lives and their movements. It's very sharp. Big Brother thought a lot. Lao Lin's evaluation of the main character, the key character, Boots Riley is "a rare black-and-white descendant of the few." You see, this description is very good.
Yes, the influence of the Black Panther is quite obvious. Yes. Anyway, for Auckland, there are several cultural sources. The Black Panther is a piece of cake. Yes. You see, this is the most interesting thing. First of all, when I mention Auckland, I think of some local music styles that you will think of in your mind. For example, their street culture.
But there are also the cool groups that use strong narrative to express their criticism of the reality of society. They also say that they are a communist. This is actually rare in the hip-hop community.
Because many rappers will sing about race issues, social issues, criticism of capitalism, etc. in music. But almost no one says I'm a communist. I believe in communism. Right? Yes. So The Cool and Boots Riley are very unique. But they are not really...
-
-
I want to talk about the main character of The Cool, Boots Riley. In 2023, the director wrote a new drama called I'm a Virgo. It translates to Chinese, which is very straightforward, I'm a Virgo. This drama is actually set as a absurd, ironic fantasy drama. Lin hasn't watched it yet, but I've been telling Lin about the plot during the process.
其实就是 Booz Riley 的这个风格非常明显 而且我其实是觉得自从那个 Donal Glover 亚特兰大开始收获好评之后 其实黑人创作者尤其是在影视方面 电影啊剧集这方面的这些
The creators of Black Hollywood have actually started to let go. They will think that the space will be very large. They explore this type of story. Then they talk about these deeper excavations of these meanings. In fact, there are some recent years that you will see more. The fantasy and absurdity of I'm a Virgo is also a little bit similar to the kind of
It's a very absurd plot because the main character he designed is a 13-inch giant. A black giant. He's about four meters tall. Four meters or so. A very, very big guy. He's been in the Amazon series. The first two episodes were very, very good.
So I have high expectations for this song But after the date, he was a little discouraged Because I feel that Boots Reddy has a lot of things to say
And you have to talk about your many key political ideas. And you want to say to the people that we have to unite and resist this capitalist society. This is a bit too big. You put it in this life of giants. It's a bit incomplete.
导致到后面其实就是有一些泄气,而且它里边有一些角色,它本身是可以刻画得非常丰满的,但是到最后就比较脸谱化了,这个是让我觉得有点欠缺,但是前两集真的讲得非常好。
Because black people are very huge, 4 meters tall, such a huge object. It is actually a metaphor. White people have always been afraid of black people. They think black people are very primitive and animalistic. So we set up this character in this play to be more exaggerated. It's a character that makes you look like
um
走出外面的世界,偷偷在家里养他,就是由于他们曾经给他讲了很多关于黑人 在这个美洲大陆上,每隔一段时间就有一个黑人巨人,然后被白人杀掉,然后他其实我感觉他是有这么一段历史,然后想要延续到当今社会 2023 年,但是其实这条线后来就断了
You can actually see that Bruce Lee wants to talk a lot. Even in this play, he also made another very strange animation film. This animation film also has a lot of strange director's favorite techniques.
It's a story with a plot. And this story can drive people crazy. In this episode, he revealed a lot of the truth of the world. And then everyone couldn't stand it after watching it. They started to doubt it. Like this kind of thing is very messy. You can't tell him in a 9th or 8th episode. Unless you say this is a very long story. You can divide it into several seasons. But Bruce Reilly himself said, I don't want to continue.
So I think everyone is interested in this drama. And there are a lot of awesome settings in it. It's not actually wasted in the end. You know, it's a waste. Yes, including the heroine. She is a very fast and super-capable person. This is also a waste. I think the most bloody thing is this four-meter-high giant and this fast heroine. Their first bed scene is
Because when I first heard that the male lead was 13 inches tall, my first reaction was "How long is this dick?" And this question was also asked in the first episode. In the end, I was looking forward to how Boots Riley would show this absurd sex scene. Later, he gave an explanation. If you want to know, keep watching. Good.
So you see, Boots Riley's brain is also a bit of a psycho. He will put a lot of absurd fantasy stories into his own political propaganda. And then, if I say The Cool, you may still feel a little unfamiliar. But the movie "Sorry to Bother You" in 2018, I believe many people who don't know who The Cool is, or who Boots Riley is, must have seen this movie.
I didn't know The Cool when I watched this movie in 2018. I only knew it later. The original creator and the original production of the album are both Boots Riley. Then I connected these two things together. Lin also watched Sorry to Bother You a while ago. Yes, I knew it when it first came out. But I didn't watch it. But I still think it's pretty good.
It's not like a director who turns into a singer and a director who takes the film out. The story is very complete. It's a bit of a mess and a bit of humor.
We can talk about this movie in 2018. Yes, we can talk about it later. We can talk about it according to the order of the album. The Cool's three main members are the first one, which is Bustrali, who we just mentioned repeatedly. And there was a rapper called E-Rock in the early days. And there was a DJ who was a very cool and tough big sister, Pam, Pam's Functuous.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rest in peace also died a while ago. Oh, I just remembered a news. Who died last night? Who died of Organized Noise? Rico, right? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not that old. I don't know why. It's a pity. I suddenly thought of this because we were talking about being a fan. Yeah, there's a chance. Yeah, let's talk about it when there's a chance.
It was already 1993 when they first released their first album. But they knew each other pretty early. Riley, did you say that they also met in a university protest? They were all activists. At that time, they might have been established a few years earlier than when they first released their album.
它那个以前你想出张专辑挺费劲的。 反正就是你能感觉到他们是那个, 因为如果你熟悉 8889 年或者 90 年代初的那个嘻哈场景的话, 就那个时候有很多讨论这个政治题材的这个团体啊。 对对。 就是有名字说的也有, 就是说其实就政治上挺强的, 你就是说人民公敌啊, another way 啊。
Mm-hmm.
The first album was released in 1993, "Kill My Landlord" You said that the title is very obvious, it has a very intense claim. Yes, the first one was released a little late, because in 1993, political topics were not very popular.
But they didn't have the style of the time. They didn't have the style of the time. If you are familiar with the trend of that time, it's not very popular.
Their first album was released in 1993 at Wild Peach. The first two albums were all released at Wild Peach. This company is also very sad. This is a legendary company. But most people who signed up for this company have a bad ending. Because of various reasons. First of all, what did this company do?
Lord Finesse
还有再往后还有什么 OC, World Life, Ultra Magnetic MC 的最后一张,那个四骑士也而且公司出的。
But the management of this company is not very good. It caused a lot of legendary albums. Not only in the past, you can say that its aesthetic was too superior or something. But after that, their set of resources were bought and sold several times.
um
Anyway, they have a good taste in music, so they signed The Cook. I personally think that the first album was better than the previous ones. It's more mature and rich. They used a lot of instruments. Yes, because at that time, the West Coast was already starting to be G-Funk. Yes, so they were actually...
当年审美就比较另类了,和那个西海岸主流的那种风格。 你看 93 年 Doggy Style 都出了嘛。 对对对,93 年真的是非常精彩的一年,我发现。 对对对,所以他们放在 93 年就有点,你知道吧,有点不太对劲。 93 年的时候,西海岸有 Snoop Dogg 这些人,然后东海岸 WooTang。
Yeah, that's the facts. Yeah.
You can feel that their style is more like the Golden Age style, but it's very rich. And the song is very long, because there are many musical performances. You can tell that they are still improving. But at that time, you need a full-length album to make it. It means that when you make this thing, the direction of the era has changed a bit.
And the first one is pretty straightforward. It's a bit of a promotional feel. It's normal. Most people's first album is young and vigorous. The words you've been holding on to for half a life are all in the first album.
The first song, especially the first song, Dig It, although it is also a masterpiece, but it is not as good as the one after it. Because it is too straightforward. I can understand Riley or other members. First of all, they are very active in social movements. They often participate in some workers' strike, protest, and parade activities.
If they want to make a song together, first of all, the music must have a strong position to express. The first sentence is "Read the Communist Manifesto". You see, when this sentence comes out, you will feel that you are like this. It's actually easy to set you up, you know? Then what he said is not so awesome. Because you see, in the first song, he quoted all the names of some great people.
Including Che Guevara, the hero of communism. Even our big cat in China, you know? I'm shocked to see the name of the big cat in China. But I also think it's reasonable. You said at that time, whether it was the black newspaper party, their own internal members, holding a red envelope book, studying Chinese communism or something,
For example, I admire Lao Mao, Da Mao, etc. As a Chinese, I'm not willing to take on the role of a Chinese when I listen to these songs. Because you know, this regime lives on this land. The oppression brought by this regime is actually another matter. So I'm very difficult to judge. First of all, when I saw this lyrics, I was actually a little bit "eh".
I just don't want to listen to it, you know? Especially in the first song, you see Of course, he has his own heroes of the black people The first president after the independence of Canada
I don't know how to pronounce it. I can't. He has a great admiration for these people. He hopes to use these communist idols and heroes to make people realize that we have a strong political agenda. We have a communist ideal. We are a hip-hop group from Auckland.
It's mainly to give you a head start. It's a role to show your identity. Yes, and look at this time, everyone is green and big.
It's normal to think like that. Although I said... Like what Lin said, he said it was too straightforward. He wouldn't say that when the story develops, he would want to build a story and use some of my high-level narrative skills to tell me what my point of view is. This is a progress from the beginning. But the first chapter is straightforward. It's more like a slogan. Yes, it's actually a slogan.
They've always been a big white-talk style. I know you didn't mean that. But the writing skills and the insight into the story are deeper. The first slogan is stronger.
But they have been making it a big hit. Similar to STS Cube. So this is actually pretty good. I like it. Especially when we were young, we could only understand this kind of music. So it's pretty good. I've always liked this kind of music. Because you want more people to
The content is very rich. It's a creative direction that goes into the content. And Di also likes it. Yes, we all think that. At that time, Di said he liked The Cove very much. He read the words and said it was very cool.
You see, Di is the first one to ghost. If you listen to his own two albums, they are all like this. A earlier one, Waiting for the End of the World. And then there's the one a few years later. I haven't listened to that one. There's another one in the later period. It's called Going Out. You forgot what you did.
No, I think it's called "Going Out Right" The first one is called "Waiting for My Kiss" You can search it on the internet Anyway, when you listen to his style, you will feel that he is a deep-seated, sleek, snuff dog type of person
They are all stories. But the cool one is really unexpected. Because we don't know if he doesn't say it. So it's interesting. But after he said it, you will feel that it's really interesting. It feels like he is absorbing the perspective. Absolutely. Waiting for my kids. Which platform do you hear it on now?
It seems that there are fans on Bilibili, not fans, but friends who sent it. I don't know if it's a fan. This album beat is also made by you, right? Yes, I made it. There is a song that talks about how a person starts his day. What is the name of that song? He just talks about Mr. White-face or Mr. Scum.
Yes, you did a great job with the beat. I was thinking about the beat in the album, "Eat the Old Man" or "Wait for the Child" at first. It was very good. But I couldn't hear it in any other channels. I remember you were on "Shrimp" at that time. Yes, we were.
This song is the most highly rated song. I can still remember that song. There's also Bilibili. I found out that someone was on it. If you're interested, you can listen to it. It's authorized to be on it.
It doesn't matter. If you want to listen to it, you can send me a message. I can send it to you. Sometimes someone asks for my medicine and I send it to them. Because now the shrimp rice is gone and the internet is off the shelf, so it's not very convenient.
You see, it's really that song about a normal person's day and then some of his visions and thoughts You think about it now and it's really cool. It's a common sense, isn't it?
Yes, it's a story telling style. I like this kind of story telling style. Yes, and it's very interesting. You know, I'm just joking with you. Sometimes I think this kind of story is very interesting. And then suddenly give you a joke. It's quite Beijing people.

He just wants to tell you that you have to realize that you are still being suppressed by this system. That's how I feel. You see, this view was actually almost never said in the early 90s. At that time, everyone was actually quite strong, quite angry. But I think he has some
The point is that you shouldn't start in the 90s. You shouldn't think that you see that black people have succeeded and so on. You think that this is a very happy result. But in fact, first of all, as a black person, you are not really able to get the respect and freedom you want in this society. Why is it called not yet free? In fact, you can't escape from this system.
I think it's rare to see this kind of view at that time. Because we were thinking about whether there was a very powerful country machine or the white superior to suppress us. We don't want to be afraid, we want to unite, we want to resist the enemy. But you see, Riley actually thought about this.
He thought it was still very detailed. He is actually more detailed than the previous generation. After all, it's been 93 years. It's still improving. Of course, you see a lot of materials about the black newspaper party. Or you look at some of their core figures. You will actually find that this point of view is already very much at that time.
And in music, he doesn't really show his talent in the music industry. I think that's interesting. And Riley,
She has been actively participating in social movements since she was very young. Although she is self-sacrificing, she was not interested in this at first. She went there for the sake of making money. But you see, she went to participate in an event about workers' strike and the union. Then she started to have political awakening. Isn't that good? Yes, it's good.
So you think this person is very lively, very active. You ask him why he feels so about politics at first. I started to do it for the sake of women. I have no girlfriend. I saw that beautiful girls went to the union gathering. I also want to go. Then I heard it and found that people are very reasonable. Then I will continue to go on. It's very lively.
嗯,没错。

Including Rosa Parks, her first move was "I don't want to give up on white people" and caused such a big impact. You said your individual strength is indeed very small, but we all realize the problem. We start to unite and do what we can do. If we have to be firm in our own attitude, it can actually bring about change. I think Riley has always been able to speak for herself.

Is it really possible for us to refuse to buy? He has a very big dream, that is, we want to live in a commune. We want to build a commune. For a Chinese who grew up in this environment, you will think it's ridiculous. But this big brother can actually say it himself. There is also a very interesting contrast.
In the release of "I'm a Virgo" in 2023, Hollywood was under a huge strike. So the story about the pressure on people and labor force from the capital groups can also be compared to the strike movement in Hollywood. I remember one of the hosts said, "You insisted on resisting capitalism so strongly, but you still cooperated with Amazon."
Then Riley said, I think first of all, I want everyone to hear my voice. You see. Yes, yes. It's not that kind of voice.

因为我前一阵为了准备这节目 我也把好多歌的歌词又看了一遍
I remember there was a funny line in this song. It said, "The small shops that sell alcohol on the streets now, they don't sell alcohol anymore. They sell people's bottles." It's really awesome. It's like this. You listen to it and you want to walk up.
This song is also good. There are actually a lot of songs in the back. There are basically no songs with the same content. There are about the police, the police violence in the community, including some of his understanding of N-word. All good. This content is still quite rich. Then after the first one, we will talk about the 1994 genocide in juice. This is my favorite one.
This one is really good. I think if you just heard us say "To My Landlord", you will feel a little heavy, some are too direct, and you are not interested in it. I think you can start from the second one. Because the second narrative has reached a new height and is more rich. And he discussed many more profound issues.
Yes, yes, yes. The second one is also good. The first one is also good. The second one is really good. Especially the second one, you listen to it, you will feel that this is also the atmosphere of Auckland. Yes, that's right. It's a combination of the roads of Auckland.
It's a bit like the songs from Spice One and E-40. They have a very exaggerated bass and a very Auckland style. We have a few songs that we want to talk about. The first one is Fat Cat's Bigger Fish.
You have to combine this with music video. What is the story he tells? Riley is an ordinary person, even a very bottom-level scumbag. Thief, right. Thief, and then all kinds of girls. He talks about his day-to-day life.
He said, "I should steal something today." I went to the street and I turned around. Then you see the video thinking, "I stole this person's wallet. I stole this person's something." You feel this kind of life of little kids. Then the second half of this song, he said he got into a very high-class, a very private, rich party. Then go to be a waiter.
Then he heard that a person from Chicago, a president of Coca-Cola, was talking to the mayor about some of the grand plans for the city government.
And then they said that we need to make this area into a public project housing project. And then let these people at the bottom, let them do whatever they want. And then through the media and the police, completely isolate this place into a very chaotic area. What are we going to do next? What's mentioned in it? Some presidents of Wanbao Road. And what kind of political transactions are there? This song, it...
Actually, he just finished the story in a smooth and straightforward way. But what does he want to tell you?
It actually shows a very absurd social reality. As a person who is a little bit of a bottom of society, I live a day to live and a day to count. I am living such a life. But there is another very grand plan. It affects the whole society and the world where I live. This confrontation makes me feel very scared. It shows this absurdity.
Yes, that's right. He feels like he's on top when he's playing the thief and the little devil. Yes. But actually, he...
foreign
It's like being shot by someone. Yes, it's his narrative. He didn't say that Zheng Ke was a fool. Zheng Ke was just using you. It's all a conspiracy. He just told such a story. Yes, it's not a slogan. He didn't say a slogan. He just put the conversation between the two of them. Just so flat and straight to rap out. It's improved. Yes, and then this story has been put to the present. I think it's all very meaningful.
Yes, it's always been like this. It's always been like this. And he also joined another organization called Occupy. Occupy seems to be based mainly in California. I remember it seems to be. Occupy has a slogan that we are 99% of the world.
嗯 That is to say, the division of wealth and power in this world is 99% of the world's 1% rule. You don't think that you make some money, you have some social status, you think you are the so-called middle class. You think your class can rise up, how do you think you are higher than this working class. You think you are not a blue collar, you are a white collar elf, you are holding wealth and so on. But the people who hold wealth and power are always the 1%

It's almost 10 o'clock, see I got a baller lit for property So I slip my medium sloppily And promenade out to take up a collection I got game like I read the directions I'm wishing that I had an automobile As I feel the cold wind rush past
But let me state that I'm a hustler for real. So you know I got the stolen bus pass. Just as the bus pulls up and I step to the river. This old lady look like she drank a 40 or 50. I see my old school partner say his brother got popped. Pay my respects. Can you ring the bell? We came to my stop. The street light reflects off the piss on the ground. Which reflects off the hamburger sign that turns round. Which reflects off the chrome of the
which reflects off the fact that I'm broke. Now what the fuck is new? I need new. I spot the motherfucker in the tweet suit. I'm in his ass quicker than a kid from a grease boot. He's up slow in the street. Catelli was suspicious by the way he slid his feet. Didn't want to fuck up the come up. So I smile with my eyes set. Hey,
How's it hanging, guy? Bumped into his shoulder, but he passed with no reaction. Damn, this motherfucker had hella Andrew Jacksons. I'm a thief of pickpocket, give a fuck what you call it. Used to call him fat cats, I just call him Wallace. Getting federal ain't just a clepto. Mastercard and visa, I gladly accept those. Sneaky motherfucker with a scam, know how to pull it. Got a mirror in my pocket, but that won't stop no bullets. The story just begun, but you already know. Ain't no need to get down, shit, I'm already low. Get down, get down, get down.
My footsteps echo in the darkness My teeth clench tight like a fist in a cold sharp mist I look down and I hear my stomach growling Step to Burger King to attack it like it's Shaolin I never pay for shit that I can get by doing dirt Linger to the girl cashier and start to flirt All up in her face and her breath was like murder Damn this shit I do for a free hamburger Well you got my number, you gonna call me tonight? It depends, it's them burgers attached to a price I'm just kidding, I'ma call, even write you love letters Thanks for the burgers, I'ma hook me up with a Dr. Pepper That's cool
on some ice. Yeah, and some fries would be hella nice. Damn, my manager is coming. Play it off, okay? Have a nice day. I'm about to hear it anyway. I use people's before they use me. Cause you could get got by an Uzi over OZ. That's what an OG told me. Got to find some place warm and cozy to eat the vittles that I just got. Came to an underground parking lot. This
This place is good as any, fuck it, it's all good. Walked in, found a car, hopped and sat up on the hood. Ate my burger, threw back my cola. Somebody said, hey, it was a rent-a-pig, I thought it was a roller. Want me to call the cops, I don't want them to see me. Looked down, saw that I was sitting on a Lamborghini. It was Roses, Ferraris, and Jags by the dozen. A building door opened, damn, it was my cousin. Getting off of work, dressed up, no lie. Tux, cover button, and a black bow tie. I was like, hey, who is it? Me. Oh, what's up, man?
Alright, I'm ready.
♪ Get down, get down, get down ♪
Fresh dressed like a million bucks. I'll be the flyest motherfucker in the Afro winter tux. My arm is at a right angle up silver tray in my hand. May I interest you in some caviar, ma'am? My eye shoots round the room there and here. Notice in the diamonds in the chandelier. Background Barry Manilow, Copa Cabana, and a strong ass scent of stogies from Havana. What an old place where a brother might been. Snobby old ladies drinking champagne with rich white men. All right then, let's begin this. Nights like this
This is good for business, five minutes in the mix, notice several different clicks talking, giggling and shit, but one motherfucker give me twits, and everybody else jacking, throttling, found out later he on Coca-Cola bottling, talking to a black man, who's he confuse me looking hella bougie, ass all tight and sadiddy, recognize him as the mayor of my city, who treats young black men like Frank Nitti, Mr. Coke said to Mr. Mayor, you know we got a process like Ice-T's hair, we put up the funds for your election campaign, and oh um, way to
Waiter, can you bring the champagne? Our real estate funds, there's opportunities arousing to make some condos out of low-income housing. Immediately, we need some media heat to say that gangs run the street and then we bring in the police fleet. Harass and beat everybody till they look inebriated. When we buy the land, motherfuckers will appear.
The most interesting part is that the next song is a sequel
Donald Trump.
对,是三个富翁就是,你看他其实加好多设定,就是你感觉他现在用的设定其实他都用到那个 Sorry to bother you,这个歌就是讲那个三个富翁那个他们学黑人说唱的事儿。
全是吹自己,特别牛逼的,反正就是一个幽默。 我记得,我忘了前两个人都是谁了, 反正前俩都是那种,就是美国人所谓的那种 old money, 你知道吗? 说话一股白人味儿。 对,就是搞什么石油啊,就是那一类的,靠那一类发财的。 然后到第三个上来是川普。 牙买家口音。 一顿抓,对,一顿抓嘎。 然后抓完了,那几个人都走了。

让你的那种受到那种冲击和感慨,它完全是跟这种普通的大白话结合起来,会让你更加的感受很深切。 对,都特别直接嘛。 首先是基于这个种族歧视这个历史嘛,就是说很多倾向于执行死刑的人都是黑人。
Black people will have a higher chance of committing suicide. And then he talks about his uncle, when he was committing suicide, for example, sitting on that chair, and then he tied him up, and then he poisoned him. It's like this. It's actually very painful. Yes, yes. There are a few songs in the middle. I remember they're all pretty, how do I say it? It's pretty heavy. Yes. Yes.
um
But the music is good. And there are some fixed characters in all of his albums. For example, we are going to talk about Rippleman. Rippleman is actually a fixed guest. Rippleman appears in this one. In the next one, Rippleman is with Dale.

嗯。

那个歌就这个角度这个好像我没看别人说过他这张第二张里的这个歌唱的也就是挺挺挺有意思的那个是一种戏谑的那种对那种感觉
It's pretty fun. Yes, all of his music is not a heavy beat. It's not like he's going to tell you a sad story. First of all, the style of Auckland is very relaxed. And then you feel
Right.
It's a bit of a absurd. Yes, but this kind of thing is not in NWA or Ice Cube. Because they are a very angry and hardcore feeling. Actually, there is no such thing as Ice Cube in NWA. There is Ice T. Yes, Ice T is there. Yes, but Ice T is not as detailed as Ice T.
嗯。

Don't expect to get some snitch from me. From my mouth, you can only get beautiful luck. It's not particularly funny.
I forgot, it seems like it's a saying, but it's a very deep impression. How can this line sound so funny from your mouth? It's really funny. It's really fun. E-rock is also very amazing. He participated in these two albums, and when he finished, he quit. He went to work. He really went to work as a worker after he quit. Yes, yes, yes.
I only found out about it after the interview. It's a pretty good job. I went to work. These two albums were released in 1993 and 1994 on Wild Pitch. They were their early albums. After they were released, one of the rappers, E-Raw, quit.
It's 1998, "Steal This Album" Yes, it's been 4 years since the middle of the year. From 1994 to 1998, it's been a long time. You can imagine that the entire hip-hop industry is completely different. Yes. Yes, they... After 1998, this was in a... Maybe it was a relatively small local company. I think Dog Day also released some other rap songs. It's a bit of a hood style. Yes, but it's not a big company.
Think about the time line of 1998, and compare the music of that period. The music of the era of "The Cool" is really out of the market. That's right. In 1998, DMX...
已经那一路的已经出来了,就翻了好几番了。 德库他这个风格,我觉得还是延续了黄金时代的那种后期的那种叙事啊, 他们那个讲述的那种风格,大白话的风格。 当然他每一张,我觉得他音乐都在变化, 他的观察也都在变化。 但是就是其实你和当年的...
The most mainstream music is still very different. Yes, in 1998, it was all bad boy. Bad boy, yes, you want to die, all of them are closed. Yes, right? It seems that nothing has happened in 1998. Yes, this album has a masterpiece.
大名曲就是 Me and Jesus the Pimp in the 79 Granada Last Night. 对。 这首歌应该是你提到的酷,就必然会提到的一首歌。 对对对,七分钟。 他讲的是一个什么故事呢? 就是我的爸爸是一个皮条客,他叫 Jesus,然后他的 pimp 的这个名字叫 Jesus,然后我的妈妈是他的头号妓女。 对,他爸...

Father figure.
Although he hates this person, he learned a lot of skills from this person. This person has a great influence on him. His life has a great influence on his life. After he picked him up, he killed him in one place. He took revenge on his mother.
But the narrative he talked about is actually very skillful. Before and after. Yes. About the culture of the Pithalka, which we discussed before the broadcast, you can also listen to it. Then I also wrote a newsletter. When we are discussing the topic of Pithalka, we try not to judge it with a single moral view. We have to consider that
the reason why this happened, the background of the community, and the history of the identity of black people. These are actually very complicated. Then why this song can become the coolest or the most representative song that reflects Riley's writing skills? It not only mentions, for example, I am in an environment of Auckland, talking about the culture of the pick-up line,
In this context, he also talks about some problems that we women have in the black community. Not only the problems of class oppression, but also the problems of race conflict. He also talks about the oppression of women's gender. He actually talks about all of these.
So this song has many different perspectives. Even Boots Riley, why is he mentioned in this song often in the future, is also a social criticism concept mentioned by him to the black people.
Intersectionality.
I really want to talk about this song because when we were talking about underground hiphop with Ash, we also talked about a reverse example. The reverse example is the song "Dance with the Devil" by Immortal Technique. I think it's interesting to compare these two songs. Why do we feel that this song is so stupid when we listen to "Dance with the Devil"?
The style of the narrative is completely different for these two people. For example, in Dance with the Devil,
Many people still think this song is awesome. This is their point of view. I don't think this song is awesome. I was thinking the other day. Dance with the Devil. If you have listened to our last talk, you will know. The protagonist is also a very poor family. And his mother is also a drug addict. And he and his brothers
In one of the events, he killed his mother. Then he found out that this was his mother. Did he commit suicide or something? He told such a story. Yes. I later compared the story of Boots Riley and Jesus Petalka. I found that there is a very big difference between the two.
Boots Rally, when he was writing these stories, first of all, as we just mentioned, he was always writing with very daily conversations. But these daily conversations sometimes make you feel... make you feel that it's a very clever place. He said that our family is very poor, and then the billboard is on the table, and then it's like a table decoration, something like that. You think it's a clever thing. And then there's his kind of conversation.
-
And you will feel very depressed But Dance With The Devil is a little too intentional, you know? It's like I set up a story and I said a bunch of things in front of me Then there is a reversal of the story Oh, the person who was in the wheel is my mother Then I killed myself He deliberately made up such a miserable story Very very deliberate Then the middle is talking about that bunch of nonsense It's like talking
Do you understand what I mean? So
Why we are so concerned about Dance with the Devil is because you were not understanding music at the beginning or you were lacking in your own life experience. You were at this age and you thought Dance with the Devil was a very good story. It's a very complete story. And then it has a very big reversal at the end. It finally shows us the cruelty and helplessness of the people living on the bottom. Yes, that's right. It's a state of panic. Yes, and then you found out that
如果你自己的生活精力的增加 你听音乐你这个阅历的增加 你耳朵一直在受到训练 你就会发现那种东西 它其实还是非常的肤浅 或者浮于表面 再一个就是它很假
I'm not saying that Booth Rayleigh's story is real. In my opinion, authentic means that I think you're very real. It doesn't mean that I believe this thing has happened. It means that we live in the same environment. I know these things are actually possible. These things may be false.
But I have similar stories around me. I grew up in such an environment. I see such things happen every day. So you are authentic. That doesn't mean that there is really such a Peter, called Jesus. Then he has a head to you. What happened to my son? But I'm not saying he's real. But that's what the devil is. He also wants to say that this is a real story that happened on the street. But he has a good intention. His design is too strong.
Yes, it's a little too deliberate. Yes, very deliberate. And then you will feel that there are many white people who are very woke. They often express their sympathy for the black community. When I understand your pain, I often quote these things. It's like saying, "I've heard this song. I know you black people are really hard. How to show myself. I seem to be able to empathize with your pain." This makes me feel a little bit of a mental state.
You know? Yes, it's still relatively small. Anyway, the song written by Immortal Technique is also relatively small. But this Boots is obviously very old-fashioned. This song is the same as any of your previous two albums. You can clearly feel that the skills are already next level. Compared to the previous ones. He even bought some Geng in it. What is that Microsoft and Macintosh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, it's amazing. I think this song is not dependent on the reverse. First of all, this story is not dependent on the reverse. Because you basically know what it will be like. When you listen to the first half, it gradually unfolds. It's still vividly described. It's more real, I think. Yes. It's more...
It's simple, I think. No problem. It's sincere and simple. And this song also influenced a writer to come up with a book based on this story background. It's called "Too Beautiful for Words" by Monique W. Morris. This novel was published in 2001. Of course, it's also a fictional novel. But the story background is based on this song. And the author also likes Riley very much.
So, actually, the techniques he wrote on Wikipedia, including his way of narrating, are actually inspiring for many literary creators. Including his underground activities and magazines, which are all using the same words he expressed in his songs. The lyrics themselves are actually better for calling people.

Well, he was smiling like a watch as he rolled up the horticulture ignited and said I hope the vapors don't assault you what I replied denied But it makes him weeding hot. He said was not looking down like he agreed a lot or said we need a plot I could plotlessly to spot pop the nickel

me and jesus the pimp in 79 granada last night
City lights from far away can make you drop your jaw. Sparkling light sequence on the transvestite at Mardi Gras. There's beauty in the cracks of the cement. When I was five, I hopped over them wherever we went to prevent whatever it was that could break my mama's back. Little did I know that it would roll up in a Cadillac. And matter of fact, she couldn't see him like a cataract. And on the track, she went from beautiful to battle-axe and backstabbed.
And back at home, she would cry into her pillow Vomit in the commode, I was six years old I would crawl into her lap and we would hug and hold Never knew how she was suffering from my food and clothes She asked me what I thought of Jesus when he broke off some bread I said he missing an arm and he seemed like a pee-pee head She said don't cut and my teeth to go bruh And get ready for bed and the toilet to flush With tears in mama's eyes I was her everything Before she went out on the stroll she tucked me into bed and said You're a child of God
You're just too beautiful for words.
I see the red and white lights as the ambulance flies Reminds me of midnight in a dope fiend's eyes And my nine year old self is paramedics leave Left to bawl my eyes out on the neighbor's sleeve To give illustrations that are clear and clean I'll take you two hours back before the scene Early in the morning when the sun starts to creep When the birds start to chirp and crack heads go to sleep My uncle's coming in I heard her keys go clink Wearing nothing but pumps, bikini and fake mink Even though she's surfin' fifty dollars a pound
Hardly had enough of rent after Jesus recalc That day the landlady got a rip before he got his knock Slam mama's head against the front boat lock Then the pimple one arm done harm Reached back and plowed into her head like a thorn
Never saw the ax locked in the back, I was cussing Heard the black flap between the head crack percussion And body blows, her body from bolo's to the spine I was hysterically crying, all she could do was whine She didn't even have the strength to say "I love you boo" But I said it to her, and she knew that I knew She was dead by the time the ambulance got on the case But I never will forget the plastic hand stuck in her face Stopped at the intersection to ask Jesus 'bout directions "Scolda Frisco, I got very friendly vocal inflections"
MacArthur to continue and fly. Me and Jesus, the pimp in a 79 Granada last night.
And besides this masterpiece, I and Lin also have a song to mention, which is Underdogs. Underdogs is because I listened to the podcast I recommended to you before, which is the podcast of Both Eyes, which is not too much to talk about. This song is really based on a true story, a true story that happened to him, a good buddy. Yes, yes, yes.
He was raised by a family of people who were good to him. One day, he cheated on his dad for money. He wanted to scold the guy who wrote the song. The more he thought about it, the more he got into the guy. He wrote this song. How can I say?
Underdogs is about the people living in the same community as them. The poor, the helpless, the people living in the poverty. This song is indeed very addictive. I have to say. It's really addictive. And it's very... What did you say? Riley, when he was telling the real story, he was so tired. He couldn't say anything.
I heard this story before.
And I believe that there are many similar real events. Yes, definitely. I told you before that I had a friend who grew up in the street area of Atlanta. The story he told me at that time was that he had a hair. And this hair didn't go to school. And he was always on the street, stealing and stealing. Their street area was very messy. And then my friend
Um
I was staying at his place for a while. His mom couldn't stand him and wanted to kick him out. She also wanted to pay rent with his friend. She said I couldn't stay here and eat and drink. One day, this friend brought back a lot of cash. My friend was like, "Where did you get so much money?" He said he had just robbed a shop.
The police took him away from their house in less than a while. This happened for real. Although I didn't have any personal experience, when my friend told me this,
I was really shocked because you think about it, how can we encounter such a thing in the environment we grew up in? Yes, yes, yes, yes. And then when we were thinking about it, I really didn't want everyone to have this kind of moral high point of view. Say, no matter how poor you are, it's because you don't work hard. You work hard, so what? So what? Are you going to rob a bank? Are you going to rob a store? He actually
When this kind of situation happens to a person, you just can't judge him. Because he was already helpless at that time, and had no choice. If a person wants to eat, he might as well go to the street and be a homeless man. Otherwise, if I still have some self-esteem, I think I might want to use my very childish way to get some recognition for myself. I might really just grab a bank and go to the store.
Of course, I think everyone can't live for others. So this kind of thing can't be criticized. Yes, when I heard this story, it really had a big impact on me. So I believe that a real story like this, it even happens every day now. It's always happening. Yes, of course. When we were young, the first thing we heard was that
Because you are being educated that you are poor because you don't work hard. Or it's actually a relatively early period. But we used to be, for example, I can't say we, I'm just through these people's music. I realized that it wasn't really that way. So these things have a big impact on me. Yeah.
I remember Boots Riley was so upset during the interview with Boca that he couldn't say anything. He said that his friend cheated on his dad's money. But this is a real story of my childhood. I grew up with him and I love him very much. His death made me feel sad. And this man himself did this. It's a tragedy. You shouldn't criticize him. It's actually a very, very big tragedy. And it can happen to anyone. That's right.
So he has a different perspective and that shows that he is a very thoughtful person. And in this album, there is also the sequel we just talked about, "Ripple Man: Sins For You". Dale, with his role as Ripple Man, he is determined to ruin your life.
对,假扮那个是什么送披萨的,然后把老太太的电视给说了。 对。 太逗了。 是。
This one, there's another song I like, it's Cars and Shoes. It's a very easy song. It has a very broken car, and it has all kinds of problems. It's also very fun. It's like, if my car is broken, it's better than you wearing shoes. It's better than you wearing legs. It's funny. A lot of that is very interesting.
You can't describe the music in this album. It's still the same style as the one in "Wandering". But it's not the same style as the one in "Wandering" in 1998. It's just that he keeps on using his own style. There are a lot of funk and the main thing is that the band is playing.
But when they make music, they don't make it for you like... Especially for the good producers in the East China Sea, they don't make it for you like... What is it? Cutting music? That's really awesome. But when Boots makes music, his own style is... It feels like a big piece, a smooth band performance. But it's very nice. He never threw the melody away. Right.
I think this album is more mature and balanced. The title of this album is also very interesting. "Steal This Album" was released for the first time. In 2017, it was remixed and added some bonus tracks.
So this album is called "Steal This Double Album" and the title is obviously from Abbie Hoffman. Abbie Hoffman is a very representative figure in the anti-cultural movement in the United States. She once published a book called "Steal This Book".
This book is actually about the same as Boots. Although I didn't finish reading it, if you are very interested in anti-cultural movements, you will see some political claims of these rebellious young intellectuals in the United States at this time.

Oh
to fight against the commercial system. I can understand that. Because when we buy a disc, we are often fooled by the seller. Because he set the price, and you have no choice. You can only spend money to buy what you want. But you have to follow him and reach a balance.
I didn't expect you to have this side of you, Lin. I always understand. I always look at this title and I always... Then you can't steal it. No, this is not about standing on the absolute side of justice.
It was all gray in the beginning. You said how much he said and how much I paid, then I was screwed. So everyone understands, otherwise this angle. I am this angle. It's a balance.
We're not saying that we just buy it randomly, we're just taking some measures when necessary. You're just a big fish. Yes, that's the feeling. It's always this kind of feeling. No matter how big the fish is, there's always a fat cat staring at you. No choice.
Okay, after this one, the next one is the one from 2001, Party Music. This one is the most controversial one. But the controversy is its original cover. The cover of this album has been changed. If you are abroad or in some countries,
The official version of the album is actually a person holding a wine glass. But the original cover is Bruce Riley and Pam standing in front of the city mall building. They are playing with you. The city mall building in the background is on fire. This album was released before 9/11. Yes, the cover design is
He's not trying to cover it up. He's just a creative person. But I didn't expect it to be a prophecy. I think this is too fucking amazing. This is because he's... This is not just him. That...
I think it's a very similar song to the original song of J.R.R. The Damager.
If you see my original cover, you will definitely be connected to the conspiracy theory. You will definitely think that this is a conspiracy. You will definitely think, "What the hell are you doing?" This is too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too... too...
But it was just a burden. It was just a burden. This is probably the most famous thing in their entire career. Yes, the most famous thing.
I think the music is a bit weird. From their own system, it's also their own style. It's still the style of funk bands. But the whole direction is a bit strange. It's not hip-hop. Many of their styles are not hip-hop. It's similar to a funk-based...
It's a great song for dancing. And he shouted out... I can't say he shouted out slogans. It's not really slogans. But it's a song that can really show off the atmosphere. It can really encourage people. I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't seem like a big deal. But it's a song that's really good for people who are rebelling. Yeah. It's a great song for playing the piano.
There are some songs that remind me of Outkast, Stankonia, and other strange songs that are influenced by P-Funk. But The Coup didn't do it as bouncy as Outkast. It's a very cool feeling. They did it a little bit like a one-man show. It's quite interesting.
This masterpiece should be a way to kill a CEO in 5 million ways. Yes. This song, anyway, you can probably understand what I just described when you listen to this song. That's how to say this.
This kind of revolutionary song that is particularly funk and suitable for dancing. And this character is also able to... You will find that he is in all the songs and stories in the album. These characters are all concentrated in the movie "Sorry to Bother You". That's right. It's a very big deal. I feel like you've given him a lot of things he thought about before.
It's like a story. Yes, it's like a story in a movie. That's right. This song also caused some dissatisfaction from the politicians. Actually, all their songs can make the politicians angry. Yes, you can use it. You can use it to make a controversy. Yes, like "Ride the Fence". There is a song in this album that I want to talk about. It clearly expresses
共和党是傻逼 你们民主党有没有好到哪里去 就是说他有一个强烈的观点啊 就是除了说他是一个共产主义者之外 还有一个他是对美国现在的这个民主体制 他有很强烈的批评 就是觉得他所有选举的这个人 无论他代表了哪个党都是傻逼 都没办法让我们真正的生活变得更好 因为他们全都是利益 还有集团的一个棋子
Yes, you can't change your internal pattern. Yes, from the title, right fence means you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right, you are left and right and right, you are left and right, you are left and right and right, you are left and right and right, you are left and right and right, you
It's not like you can get a good result by choosing one. Even in our current situation, if both sides are idiots, both sides are shit, we choose a slightly less stinky one. This is actually not a solution, because they are all evil. Strongly calling everyone, we just want to protest, we just want to rise up. We have to rebel. Yes, we just have to rebel. Have to rise up.
The lyrics are also very interesting. Very interesting. I think all of his songs are interesting to watch. This song is especially suitable for those who are doing big work, protesting, protesting. You know? It's quite a good song. It's a very good song. Especially it can bring the atmosphere.
Yeah, that's right.

I think it's a rock band. You can think of it that way. They also released some songs. There is also a song that is a cover of M.I.A's Paper Plane. It's a remake. Yes, it's a remake. Because I have no good impression of Rage Against The Machine, so I probably just listened to it. Anyway, I think it's...
You can't say that RATM is bad. Because those people, including the level of his singing, his musical skills are also quite high. But it's still too positive. It's more like one-sided. Yes, he must have played better than Boots Riley in The Cool.
And this guy, he also has a rap/rock combination with Track D and B-Roll. It's a bit of a "err" feeling. It doesn't feel very good. We can't say it's smooth. We always use the word "smooth" but the direction is a bit too strong. There is another famous song in this album, Pork and Beef.
Oh, yeah, that's quite a name. Yeah. There are a few others. But the people who launched these books, like T. Cash and Dead Price, were more political back then. T. Cash was also from Auckland, if I remember correctly.
Yes, it's Oakland. He was in a relationship with Paris. Yes, he was in a relationship with Paris. He was also in a relationship with Paris at that time. The people from North Africa. There are several slow songs that are also quite good. It's a very specific feeling. I think the aesthetic is a bit strange. Anyway, you can't listen to hip-hop. But if you want to say that it is still a unique work, it is also well done.
That's how it feels. So you didn't pay much attention to the cool songs since 2001? You mainly listened to the first few albums? Yes, this was actually the last one I listened to. And I listened to "Bigger Weapon" because I wanted to do this show. But I found "Bigger Weapon" to be really good. I quite like that one.
I've only listened to Party Music for many years. In 2006, Pick a Bigger Weapon was also a big hit. My Favorite Mutiny. Does this song have a Taliban praise? Yes, it has a Taliban praise and Black Thoughts.
Talib Kweli, really, his own set of things is very unsuitable. It's reflected in this song. The beat is very good, but it's not as good as you said. He was a little over it at that time. I think Talib Kweli may be a little bit after Beautiful Struggle. It's not too salty. It's not too salty after 2004 and 2005. Yes, the beat is really good. It's also very positive, but it's not as sharp as before. He mainly
Left Love Fuck
I'm not a revolutionary promoter. I just live a good life every day. And then wait for the revolution. Oh, no, he said...
He said that I just live a good life every day and try to make the revolution come faster. But he won't go to light that fire. That kind of feeling. That's probably what I mean. It's funny. It's just this kind of feeling. It's not the same as before. And then this one, I still have a song. What is it? Ice Breath Killers is also very fun. Mindfuck is also pretty good. Mindfuck is also pretty good. I'll talk about Ice Breath Killers first.
The last song is a little bit similar to the one with Rayleigh and the other guy. It's like a fast food restaurant. They're talking about work.
Your kiss too much ass.
So the next song is about kissing someone's ass and saying that he has a product to help you get rid of the bad breath. What is he trying to say? He wants to say that you need to realize that you are constantly
讨好别人并不能改变你认识的处境 说现在你需要的就是清醒过来 然后他也是举了一样个例子 有什么奴隶一停止 KISS 他的主人的 S 他就起来反抗 然后就是哪儿哪儿闹革命什么的事 然后他就说 他其实想说的是这个角度 你知道吧 就是说你应该是起来抗争 而不是 KISS S
But then he said, I remember it very well, he said, "Someone used to think that you would be bold when you drink, but now I'm going to give you this product and it's not the same as wine. I want you to be sober, not to be bold." It's similar to this feeling. Wow, it's pretty awesome, pretty profound.
-
It's pretty awesome. Yeah, this is already the fifth one. So I think what's rare is that although he keeps talking about the core issues in every album, he always brings you new ways of expressing himself. That's right. There are always new perspectives. I think it's pretty awesome. Especially now, in 2006, I want to say "Love Love Fuck".
Actually it's a kind of sarcasm, like a kind of psychological chicken soup, like "leave love" or something like that. It's a very delicate way of life, or a kind of psychological chicken soup. This lyrics is actually a kind of sarcasm towards your ideology. It's very silly.
真正的真相或者虽然是说像你刚才说的,我也并不是说我自己就是一个掌握真相的人,我是比你们看的都透彻,但是呢,我自己首先我要过好我自己的日子,我意识到我现在生活的问题在哪里,这个其实很容易让普通人联系起来,就是因为你看他到这个年纪其实也不小了。
肯定也是經歷了生活當中各種各樣的困難 沒辦法再像第一張專輯的時候 血氣方剛跟你在喊口號 那我們現在還能做什麼 我並不是讓你放棄
First of all, you still have to live your life well, but you should always be vigilant and clear-minded. Yes, you have to have a sense of consciousness. Yes, you see, it's quite in line with my current state of life. I'm not saying that I've given up or that I've lost the principles I used to have. What I want to say is that my transformation is that I realized that I have to do what I can control.
但是我是有很多我自己坚持的一些信念,我是从来都没有放弃过的。 这个其实是一个经历了很多生活,然后得到了很多经验教训的人,能告诉你的一些真是非常非常朴实的一些教诲,并不是跟你在那喷大道理的那种教诲。 对对对。
Hello.
Some confuse ass breath with strong halitosis It's been hundreds of years since the first diagnosis By the African doctor Mwangi Masoi Known in the states as Mr. Thomas' boy He found that preventing this affliction was lost With the mention of the phrase "ahm yassabas" When that phrase was uttered many stomachs would wrench Some jumped in the Atlantic to escape the stench He noted ass breath came from kissing ass a lot To be the boss's night normal like Lancelot But the Masoi years later, before he was hanged, developed pills with
the taste of lemon meringue made from ground gunpowder of Haitian slaves and sweat from Seminoles who just wouldn't behave. We tested first on young nap from the Turner Plantation. Then sent a batch off to the French-speaking nation. It should also be noted a bottle of it was found in the clenched dead hand of the white John Brown. Every time it went round, new people would find it. They would take debt
put it in and grind it in Russia, Africa, Asia too mouth say tongue make the flavors new in Cuba the people make new shit mix of this peel that is on the FDA shit list they say it's not recommended to take before dinner with supervisors, presidents, or such type sinners take this peel and say what you wish you said it hardens backbones they might wish you dead and it's not to be confused with courage juice which we drank in chains and we still ain't loose
These pills really should be taken in groups 'Cause ass breath motherfuckers move with troops MLK took half a pill, procrastinated Once he took a whole pill, they assassinated Take ass breath killers to really get down Wherever rocks, fire, and struggle are found When it's time to speak up and you can't make a sound Take the pills that'll make you kick the king in his crown Take ass breath killers to really get down Wherever rocks, fire, and struggle are found Dr. Masur is ass breath killers
I'll listen to it again later. Older brother is still older brother.
It's great. The music is also very nice. It's still that funk thing. It's really nice. You see, like Talib Kweli, he finally became an old B. But Riley, he is a close old brother. This is the difference between an old brother and an old B. That's right. Everyone is different. Yes. But I think their old brother is really better than the ones later.
The so-called conscious is still different. They are more clear. I think the old brothers actually ate the suffering of life. There are many people behind him, you said it makes sense. It's really good to hear.
Sorry to Bother You
Sorry to Bother You, this album has a background. When he released this album, Boots Riley had completed the script for the movie. But he didn't find any investment at that time. Or because of the real reason, he couldn't make this movie. So he released this album with the core theme of this movie. I listened to this album a while ago. This is only one of the famous songs.
The guillotine! Yes, the guillotine. And this song also makes me... At first, I was a little hesitant about making a special episode of "The Cool" because I didn't know what to say. But after listening to "The guillotine", I think I still have to make another special episode. Because this song is also very moving to me.
You say it. It's very mentionable. It's already at a peak. That is to say, those of you who are above power, those of you who are suppressing us, no matter what you have, we have a head-butting platform. And it has a historical background. It includes a lot of people who used to resist the power. The head-butting platform is actually a very straightforward idea.
And this song is very, very emotional. It actually makes you feel very burning when you listen to it. The video was also shot by a group of people on the street. The first time I saw it was Pam, who was quite old, and she was shaking her head and shivering. I said, "I promise you." It's also a rebel song, especially for the rebel scene. Yes.
This song is all about that style. It's a little too much about that style. Other songs are just... You can't stand this kind of song even if you listen to a whole chapter. Yes, it's not very good. It's mainly for the movie. I think. That's right. There is a certain functionality. Yes. I really don't listen to this song much. I think that song is the best. The rest is fine.
The other songs are as good as the previous one. There is a slow version, but the overall song is too much. Anyway, this one's aesthetic is very strange. Because this one has been released in Anti. Actually, the last one is also. Is the last one Anti? Yes, it is also Mu Zhi Ming. It was all Mu Zhi Ming since the middle of the 00s. But this one is obviously more strange.
Yes, that's right. But I can hear it. I don't know if there is such a thing. It's similar. Maybe not. So why is it worth mentioning that you can't find the second one? Yes, they are. And they took too long to make it. Each one is different. So it's amazing. Then we can continue to talk about this movie "Sorry to Bother You".
I just said that when Bruce Reilly released this album, the script for the movie was already written. Why did it only start to be released in 2018? It was shot in 2017 in Auckland. The reason is that I needed to find someone to invest in it and make it work. And he also made a lot of changes. I shared a fun fact with Lin a few days ago.
Although he is a forecaster, I don't think he has any super powers to predict what will happen. But he really can predict what will happen because he has seen through many problems.
For example, if you have watched the movie Sorry to Bother You, you will be impressed by the company's name, Worry Free. Worry Free was created in a family harmony and a state of work where everyone lives happily. What is the company promoting for you? You sign a contract with me.
-
-
And then Worryfree, this company, in the movie, it has a lot of this kind of very ironic, funny, warm-hearted promotional ads. And then later revealed that the CEO of the top of the company who does telemarketing is also the actual control of Worryfree. Yes, they are all in one company. Yes, they are all in one company. And then these black bosses, in order to insanely, extremely suppress the labor of each person,
-
Later on, someone asked him, "You were really writing this script during Obama's time?" He said yes. At that time, Trump didn't have any news about the election, nor did he have the slogan of MAGA. Riley wrote the slogan of Worry Free, which was "Make America Great Again". When it was about to be released in 2018, he thought...
This is too controversial. He's not saying that I don't dare to criticize Trump. He's saying that he thinks that America Great Again has become a strong bond between Trump and the United States. Yes, it's closed. It's closed. He can't continue to use it. But when I saw this story, I was really shocked. It's really awesome. So I think this old man
可能真的就是已經想得非常的具體,想得非常透徹。 He may have thought very thoroughly and thought very thoroughly. 他一步一步的都在做鋪墊。 He is doing the floor work step by step. 然後你會你感覺他做的這些事情是有預言性質的。 And then you will feel that what he did was a pre-planned one. 但其實這一切都是水到渠成,順理成章。 But in fact, all of this is a water-to-water process.
Yes.
In this scene, I feel like the main character is the one who kicked the person who boosted him out. Right. The one who was working for the ordinary people. He was also working for the ordinary people many years ago. His girlfriend was an artist. And his colleague from the company in Korea was the one who organized the event. So it feels like he was the one who kicked out the person with the different identity.
It's interesting. It shows her thinking in different fields. When the movie first came out in 2018, I didn't know who Riley was. I didn't know The Cool either.
I was actually going to watch it with La Kiss because La Kiss has a lot of popularity in the Netherlands. I think La Kiss is definitely worth watching. When I was watching it, I didn't think much about it.
I think a black person can use such a white-and-white tone to succeed. Then he saw the capitalist society, the capital's exploitation of one's own labor, I think it's very ironic. I might have thought of this at that time, but I went to see it again a few days ago, and there are a lot of details that are worth recalling. You say it. I also made fun of you. I said,
Cash Green, his name is also very interesting. Cash is Green, Cash is actually Muhammad Ali's name. And then he was called Cash by his close friends. Cash Green, he himself is also a strong desire for money. Such a meaning. And then many black people, he also likes to call himself Cash. Cash is suspecting that he is being beaten. When he is about to become a horse, his ex-girlfriend, at that time he was still an ex-girlfriend.
The first thing he was worried about was whether his chin had become bigger. He let his front mouth look at his chin and see if his chin had become bigger. His wife was very curious. If you suspect that you have become a horse, why don't you let me see if your nostrils have become bigger? What's interesting is that this detail reflects the self-esteem of a man.
Yes, and there are many scenes where he turns into a horse and he throws his big chicken bowl around. It's very funny. I didn't notice it when I first saw it. There are many details, including the gong he buried in the interview.
So I feel that in this movie, he has put the political stance he wanted to express in the music, the characters he wanted to portray, and all of his stories, all of them are reflected in this movie. Yes, it feels very complete. It's not like a movie that suddenly got a name and was made.
Yeah, and it's very similar to his usual style. Yeah, it's very retro. This movie has won many awards from independent film associations. Although it's not recognized as mainstream, the commentators are crazy about it. Maybe they didn't think of targeting mainstream. Yeah, it's good. It's really good. The movie is good.
The setting of the screen was very easy to switch between black and white. It was also emphasized in many movies. I realized that there were some characteristics of black people. For example, your accent.
你的一些潜思造句什么的,其实是在职场中是会让你被视为是低人一等的。
If you want to be respected and recognized by other white people, you have to slowly turn yourself into a white person. I saw a lot of comedy in the past, and a lot of black actors were imitating this. It's not that Boots Riley was the first to propose this thing. I found out later that this thing is called code switch.
Why is it called code switch? It means that in one environment, I need to use this way of expression to communicate with you. In another environment, I need to use another way. Black people have their own way of survival. This is called code switch.
And Code Switch is also a program of NPR. And then this is also very obvious. Code Switch is about the minority. We are facing this, walking into this real life. We must switch to a completely new language system and our way of thinking. And then Saturday Night Live has a lot of sketches. There will also be such a small point. All very interesting.
没错。 这个确实是我觉得可能尤其是在美国生活的人应该都能有多少一些感触吧。
We can't really understand the feelings of the haters, but you've seen a lot of people, just to get into the group of people in the company, you see them doing some changes very deliberately. It's like that. Yeah. Yeah. He's mainly in there, he's there for...
-
都是一樣的。 對,他後來就是這角色還就是跟他女朋友吵架的時候說, 你覺得你做的是一種非常單純的藝術, 但其實你也只不過是想把你藝術作品賣給那些白人, 有錢人而已。 不是。 就有一句話就是說, 你在這個資本主義社會之下, 你沒有什麼事情是單純道德的。 對,這肯定也是他自己的反思吧, 因為我相信 The Cool 的聽眾也有很多就是為了這個, 為了...
Right.
Oh!
你当时看那个片段是不是也惊呆了? 我当时看那个时候我是太吓人了。 主要是你没想到他会用这么一种方式 把这个梗给那个抖出来吗? 我觉得对对。
You're a black man, you must know how to rap.
"Rap, can you sing a song for us?" "Come on, sing a song for us!" Then they made the white people crazy. They don't care about what you sing. What is the flow you use? What is the word you use? What is your story? What is your singing ability? You sing what I expect and understand about you. Satisfy her impression. Although there were many such rumors, during 2018, I think it was still
It's very ironic. Yes, many people have done this before. But it's not the same thing. But I think some ideas are worth being used again in different times. Because it has different meanings. It's not a problem. It doesn't have to be the first person to do it. The first person doesn't have to do it right. So this...
I think the original song is not that important. But yeah, that's it. It's interesting.
In the movie, she talks about her mixed feelings with Emma Virgo. I always think that Emma Virgo has a very strong political stance. She is a lesbian. She has a superpower.
capitalism is about how to destroy your individuality, how to suppress you. It's telling you with a very shallow reason, but it's very convincing. It can immediately let you enter my perspective, let me take you to experience how this world works, where is the evil of capitalism? In this consumerist society, how is the individual powerless? There is no way to stand up and work hard for your real life. It's such a set of things.
I'm a Virgo
This is very similar to the characteristics of many black people's civil rights leaders. First of all, these black people's civil rights leaders don't necessarily have to talk about something very profound with my people. I just want to use big white words. I want to tell you that we need to unite. Where is the problem of our world? You must stand up and resist. You need to fight.
These words that are very encouraging and can call on the people are not deep words. Yes, that's right. This is the level of a leader. Yes, and then you will think that Booth Riley is a very influential storyteller. Just like Malcolm X or other members of the Black Panther Party, like Bobby Seale. The most prominent thing about them is their personal charm.

And the characteristics of the characters. I think it's a combination of the characteristics of the leaders of the Black People's Rights Movement. It's also a characteristic of the people of that era.

意识形态的这个东西 强烈的就比如说反资本主义 然后共产主义理想 然后希望去跟更多的人民去对话 来自于他和他朋友的一次经历嘛 就是他和他朋友被那个白警察 pover 了 他的朋友就开始跟警察说 那个警察也只不过是在为这个暴力的国家机器在执行而已 你不要以为你有多牛逼 然后把那个警察给说哭了
So these people are very talented in speech. They are very demanding. That's right. They are quite good. Yes. And then, when I listen to the cool music, I actually have some more updated ideas. You should know that before, I was a little bit against political position and political opinion. Because I always think that he is in class.
But The Cool actually opened a new perspective for me. Music can be like The Cool. And I don't need to say that because it is a music with very strong political propaganda information, I will oppose it. In Emerald Virgo, there is also a classic anti-fascist character. This anti-fascist character is very, very full at the beginning. He created a super hero comic. Then this comic finally went viral. And then later,
and became a very awesome big company, a giant company. It controls American cultural output.
When they were deciding the next episode of the comic, they were having a meeting and the other people said, "Don't you think this story is very much like propaganda?" And the big rep said, "I'm going to treat comics as propaganda because any kind of cultural product is propaganda. There's nothing that can escape political propaganda."
Especially in America. Yes, do you think the music you hear is pure music? There is no pure music. Any music has political propaganda. Any cultural product, whether it's a movie, novel, or comic, it has political propaganda. These things have to affect your thinking, your awareness, and your ideology.
So don't tell me that there is something simple that can remove political propaganda. I just want to make comics into political propaganda. I just want to make my music into political propaganda. You are his personal thought. Yes. Then this big villain was suddenly changed. I have a dream. So I said that this play, you can watch the previous two episodes. The drama is amazing. I was relieved afterwards.
I'll check it out later. I haven't seen it yet. Anyway, it's on Amazon. Yeah. The cool is still worth listening to. Yes. Especially this one. After this, the big white flowers. This kind of
还是越来越少了,我还是对这种大白话说道理的挺有好感的。 而且 Riley 确实他影响了很多人嘛,我昨天给你分享的那个也是,就是有很多小孩他们在年轻的时候听到了 The Cool 的音乐,他们自己真的最后就成为一个社会活动家了。
Yes, this kind of influence will definitely happen. And you can't imagine the effect. Even if it's very little, even if there are not many people who will mention it. Or you see that Amazon has a new drama, you may not think of it as cool or Riley. But as Riley said, the most important thing is to let the people hear it first.
I was just about to say that Occupy seems to be another social organization that Rally has joined. Their slogan is "Serve the People". This game is about the people. Yes, that's about it. So I recommend everyone to listen to it.
I also listened to them again for this show. I found it's pretty good. It's different from others. I think there's almost no music like this in this environment. Yes, and there are many things.
Very humorous. This is rare. Humorous and sincere. Yes, this really depends on personal charm, I found. Yes, that is to say, can you hear a lot of things? Not bad. Okay, then we will talk about it here.
Thank you for listening to us for so long. If you are interested, please follow the order of our program and listen to "The Cool" and feel the beauty of Bruce Riley. That's right. Thank you.
I just spit the dope lines, I don't snort 'em. Tear the boss, call police to escort 'em. You don't write all them lies, you just quote 'em. Get offline, plug into this model. No, you can't outvote 'em, the rules are still golden. Only Jews we holdin's if we guardin' our scrotum. If you press the ear to the turf that is stolen, you can hear the sound of limitations exploding. Please sir, may we have another portion? We're children of the beast that dodged the abortion. Neck plate firm, tune the floor in the portion. We'll shut your shit down, don't call it a game.
We call it exhaustion, caution, we're coming for your head. So call the feds and get files and shreds. Every textbook red said bring you the bread. But guess what, we got you instead. We got the guillotine, guillotine, the guillotine, the guillotine. Let's keep it down with the words. I'll keep it to tell the truth.
