[00:02:10] Sometimes in the March, begin in April just depends

[00:02:13] But yeah, three to four months in

[00:02:15] Kind of like do a self check

[00:02:17] Spiritually, so when I say self check

[00:02:19] I'm talkin' about spiritually

[00:02:20] You know, are you serving in ministry?

[00:02:22] You know, are you trying to read your Bible everyday?

[00:02:24] Readin' in devotion?

[00:02:25] Are you, where's your prayer life at?

[00:02:40] Just check on them too as well

[00:02:41] So, yeah, yeah, it's about community

[00:02:43] That's why I say that halfway mark

[00:02:45] When I get to Easter Sunday, Resurrection Sunday

[00:02:48] I kinda have that like mindset of

[00:02:50] From a spiritual standpoint

[00:02:52] Making sure I'm good

[00:06:43] And this is your

[00:06:44] To Fix Faith

[00:06:45] At Sports Report

[00:06:46] We see college coaches

[00:06:47] On the sideline every week

[00:06:48] Coaching their players

[00:06:49] To do their best

[00:06:50] On the field

[00:06:51] Or the court

[00:06:52] But what does a coach

[00:06:53] And schedule look like

[00:06:54] On a day to day basis

[00:06:55] Especially why they are in season

[00:06:57] I had a chance to speak

[00:06:58] With Arizona Wildcats

[00:06:59] Women's volleyball coach

[00:07:00] Sharita Stubbs

[00:07:01] About just that

[00:07:02] And she took me through her day

[00:07:04] Which included

[00:07:05] Waking up before sunrise

[00:07:06] And spending time

[00:07:07] In the scriptures

[00:07:08] And also

[00:07:09] Praying with her family

[00:07:10] My alarm goes off at four

[00:07:11] But I'm pretty sure

[00:07:12] I'm up by three fifty-five

[00:07:13] I get up and

[00:07:14] Get myself cleaned up

[00:07:15] I read my scripture

[00:07:16] I go and start my coffee

[00:07:17] And I stretch a little bit

[00:07:18] And then I get up

[00:07:19] And I get up and

[00:07:20] Get myself cleaned up

[00:07:21] I read my scripture

[00:07:22] I stretch a little bit

[00:07:23] And then I get my coffee

[00:07:24] I say a prayer with my husband

[00:07:26] Before I leave

[00:07:27] And then I go and say a prayer

[00:07:28] With my son

[00:07:29] Because trust me

[00:07:30] He ain't up

[00:07:31] And then I go to my car

[00:07:33] And then I go

[00:07:34] And continue my devotion

[00:07:37] For the morning

[00:07:38] And then I go work out

[00:07:39] I go to F-45

[00:07:40] I do that for about

[00:07:41] Forty-five minutes

[00:07:42] Unless I'm doing a double

[00:07:43] So tomorrow will be a double

[00:07:45] And then I get in my car

[00:07:47] Again and then

[00:07:48] I'm listening to a book

[00:07:49] I love Audible

[00:07:50] I just finish

[00:07:51] Killin' JFK

[00:07:53] And that's for you, Mies

[00:07:55] And just listen to

[00:07:56] That whole ordeal

[00:07:57] I moved a little bit

[00:07:58] Further away from campus

[00:08:00] So I have about

[00:08:02] Twenty-five minutes

[00:08:03] In my car

[00:08:04] Two months from we're home

[00:08:05] So I'm able to

[00:08:06] Cover a lot of reading

[00:08:07] During that time

[00:08:08] And then I get to

[00:08:09] Work

[00:08:10] I go then

[00:08:11] And do

[00:08:12] I study Hebrew

[00:08:13] Because I want to

[00:08:14] Learn how to read the Bible

[00:08:15] In this original text

[00:08:16] And I walk for

[00:08:18] About three miles

[00:08:19] And I do my Hebrew work

[00:08:21] And learn words

[00:08:22] And do it a little bit

[00:08:23] Of French

[00:08:24] That was my minor in college

[00:08:25] And fascinated with that again

[00:08:26] So with that

[00:08:27] And then I go get cleaned up

[00:08:28] And I then have a staff meeting

[00:08:30] Then my players are in the

[00:08:32] Wait room

[00:08:33] And we're lifting

[00:08:34] And then we go to practice

[00:08:35] And that's true about

[00:08:36] And at the end of all of that

[00:08:38] So that's about

[00:08:39] Two and a half, three hours

[00:08:40] Just depending on

[00:08:41] Which day it is

[00:08:42] And then I come up

[00:08:43] To my office

[00:08:44] I have a breakfast

[00:08:45] A little bit

[00:08:46] Have a staff meeting again

[00:08:47] Just to talk about

[00:08:48] What's the place in practice

[00:08:49] And start formulating practice

[00:08:51] For the next day

[00:08:52] Watch, feel

[00:08:53] As well as do recruiting

[00:08:54] And then I'm

[00:08:55] In the office

[00:08:56] Depending on the day

[00:08:57] I'll stay here

[00:08:58] Till about six o'clock

[00:08:59] Depending on if I have

[00:09:00] Meetings or phone calls

[00:09:02] Or different engagements

[00:09:03] On campus

[00:09:04] I learned during COVID

[00:09:05] That you have to show

[00:09:06] Yourself valuable more than

[00:09:08] Just in your sport

[00:09:09] And so I try to get involved

[00:09:11] With different things within

[00:09:12] The athletic department

[00:09:13] And on campus

[00:09:14] And then I go pick up my son

[00:09:16] I get him on Mondays and Tuesdays

[00:09:18] Because he plays basketball

[00:09:20] And then Wednesdays

[00:09:22] Ask my day to go home

[00:09:23] And just hang out with my husband

[00:09:25] Watch movies or whatever it is

[00:09:27] That he wants to do

[00:09:29] And then typically Thursday

[00:09:30] You know, we travel and whatnot

[00:09:32] So that's pretty much that

[00:09:33] So you see Coach Stubbs

[00:09:34] Has a really, really busy day

[00:09:36] But you know what this

[00:09:37] Really reminds me of?

[00:09:38] It reminds me of a verse

[00:09:39] Found in Ephesians 5

[00:09:40] Versus 15 through 17

[00:09:42] Listen up it says this

[00:09:43] So be careful how you live

[00:09:45] Don't live like fools

[00:09:47] But like those who are wise

[00:09:49] Make the most of every opportunity

[00:09:51] In these evil days

[00:09:52] Don't act thoughtlessly

[00:09:54] But understand what the Lord

[00:09:56] Wants you to do again

[00:09:58] So be careful how you live

[00:09:59] Don't live like fools

[00:10:01] But like those who are wise

[00:10:03] Make the most of every opportunity

[00:10:05] In these evil days

[00:10:06] Don't act thoughtlessly

[00:10:07] But understand what the Lord

[00:10:09] Wants you to do

[00:10:10] New York Times bestselling

[00:10:11] Leadership author

[00:10:12] And speaker John Maxwell says

[00:10:14] In the Maxwell Leadership Bible

[00:10:16] That Paul in Ephesians

[00:10:18] Advises us to do these three things

[00:10:19] In those verses

[00:10:20] First, analyze our lifestyles

[00:10:22] Utilize the present

[00:10:24] And prioritize what is important

[00:10:27] Listen, every leader gets

[00:10:28] The same amount of time every day

[00:10:30] Okay, that's 24 hours in a day

[00:10:32] But not every leader

[00:10:33] Gets the same results

[00:10:35] If you're not happy

[00:10:36] Where you are in the faith

[00:10:37] Or your career

[00:10:38] Or other areas in your life

[00:10:40] It's time to do this one thing

[00:10:42] Examine yourself and take a look

[00:10:44] At how you're spending your 24 hours

[00:10:46] I'm Justin Adams

[00:10:47] And this has been your DeFix Faith in Sports Report

[00:11:35] Cause who's got four projects at once

[00:11:37] Who, like that

[00:11:38] I feel like he was telling somebody

[00:11:40] What you say about me?

[00:11:41] He said it was personal

[00:11:42] It felt personal

[00:11:43] It's like these little

[00:11:45] Don't think I rap for real, huh?

[00:11:47] No, right

[00:11:49] Without further ado

[00:11:50] You already know who rockin' with us man

[00:11:52] K. Joe in the middle, what up K. Joe

[00:11:53] What up, how y'all doing

[00:11:55] Dice, what's up

[00:11:56] Focus man, thank y'all for having me

[00:11:58] So first

[00:11:59] I gotta ask you

[00:12:00] Cause yeah, I can ask real hip hop questions

[00:12:02] With you, cause you were bad in the game

[00:12:04] Yeah, seriously

[00:12:06] You know, we celebrated 50 years of hip hop last year

[00:12:08] You know, we know that

[00:12:10] The genre has been around for 51 years now

[00:12:12] If you go into this year now

[00:12:14] What's that one thing that you think

[00:12:16] When you talk about the state of hip hop culture

[00:12:18] What do you think we are right now

[00:12:20] 51 years into the game

[00:12:22] You've been around, you've been around mainstream artists

[00:12:24] You've done your thing in the subgenre

[00:12:26] Of Christian hip hop

[00:12:27] What do you think we line up at

[00:12:29] When you talk about sonically

[00:12:31] The state of hip hop

[00:12:33] The culture all together

[00:12:34] That's a lot, but I know you got a lot to talk about

[00:12:37] Well, definitely man

[00:12:39] I'm a product of that

[00:12:41] I'm a product of

[00:12:43] And we've seen hip hop grow up

[00:12:45] You've seen people like Snoop

[00:12:47] That came in as a teenager or 19

[00:12:49] And actually become

[00:12:51] A man that has children

[00:12:53] And has, you know, children's children

[00:12:55] You know, and so

[00:12:57] You saw the maturity of it

[00:12:58] You saw it blend with other genres

[00:13:00] Country, R&B

[00:13:03] Techno, you saw other people

[00:13:05] You also saw people outside of the

[00:13:07] African American community

[00:13:09] And the Latino community

[00:13:11] Do hip hop, different people

[00:13:13] And so it spread

[00:13:14] It's a multi-billion dollar business

[00:13:17] I also feel like

[00:13:20] You know, it's a vent culture though

[00:13:23] And a lot of people come here to vent

[00:13:26] You know, when you

[00:13:28] When you want to let off

[00:13:29] You do hip hop

[00:13:30] When you want to do anything else

[00:13:32] Culturally or love music

[00:13:33] You do another genre

[00:13:35] Our genre is the only

[00:13:37] Genre of where you battle

[00:13:39] You ain't never seen two countries

[00:13:40] Battling each other, you know what I'm saying

[00:13:42] And so they want to see us

[00:13:44] They want to see us fight

[00:13:46] They want to see us, you know

[00:13:48] Kind of Django, Candy Land type of thing

[00:13:50] You know what I'm saying

[00:13:51] And so I felt like

[00:13:53] The power of

[00:13:55] Hip hop and the power of culture

[00:13:57] That we

[00:13:59] Just need to be in a state of

[00:14:01] Figuring out how to love one another

[00:14:02] A little bit more

[00:14:03] It's bread positivity

[00:14:05] Most of the times when you think hip hop

[00:14:07] You always thinking something negative

[00:14:09] You know, or we finna shoot somebody

[00:14:12] You know, that's the music that you go

[00:14:14] You ride to

[00:14:16] If you're getting ready to get in that mood

[00:14:18] To do something

[00:14:19] You ain't gonna put

[00:14:21] Surely Caesar on

[00:14:22] You gonna put on something that's gonna

[00:14:24] You know what I'm saying

[00:14:25] And so

[00:14:26] I just want

[00:14:27] I just want, especially for my kids

[00:14:29] For there to be an evolution of

[00:14:31] Love and positivity

[00:14:33] In it

[00:14:34] But

[00:14:35] To be honest with you man

[00:14:37] I don't know why it's like this

[00:14:40] But it seems like anything that's positive

[00:14:42] Is corny bro

[00:14:43] And we've gotten that

[00:14:45] Even in Christian hip hop

[00:14:47] You know the corny

[00:14:49] The corn ball type of whatever

[00:14:52] Nobody really wants to ride with the corn ball

[00:14:54] And the cool dude is always the dude

[00:14:56] That's in the mixture

[00:14:57] So it's like, you know

[00:14:59] How do we make it

[00:15:01] Both at the same time

[00:15:03] Where it's cool to talk about something positive

[00:15:06] You know, I'm a man that's married

[00:15:08] You know, and as a Christian artist

[00:15:10] Gospel artist

[00:15:11] I took the risk of talking about

[00:15:13] Love in my songs

[00:15:15] Talking about

[00:15:16] Holy Ghost Girl

[00:15:17] And it's frowned on

[00:15:19] And nobody talks about love

[00:15:21] Or talk about their women

[00:15:23] In the songs but you know

[00:15:24] Pastor you got two kids

[00:15:26] I know how you got them two kids

[00:15:28] So why we can't make music for it

[00:15:30] And if we can't talk about

[00:15:32] What you do to get them

[00:15:34] You know, if you're doing it

[00:15:36] Why can't you make music for it

[00:15:38] You know what I'm saying

[00:15:39] And so I kind of pushed

[00:15:41] Just the

[00:15:42] I guess I'm out of the box

[00:15:44] Out of the box

[00:15:45] To take more risk

[00:15:47] And to talk about more subjects

[00:15:49] Because I feel like the more that we talk about

[00:15:51] More subjects and put God in it

[00:15:53] You know the more that people consider God

[00:15:56] In certain things

[00:15:57] When you say sex

[00:15:58] Nobody considers God bro

[00:16:01] No, when you say stuff like that

[00:16:04] Nobody

[00:16:05] I'm praying for him

[00:16:06] I'm praying for him

[00:16:07] What's he gonna say?

[00:16:08] Because the Lord knows

[00:16:09] I'll be looking for my wife

[00:16:10] When I walk in the house

[00:16:12] I say listen

[00:16:13] Long day

[00:16:14] And God is pleased

[00:16:16] God is pleased with what we about to do

[00:16:18] God is pleased

[00:16:19] Hey, hey bro

[00:16:21] Ain't nothing like them angels floating

[00:16:23] At the top of the roof

[00:16:24] When you had a great night

[00:16:26] You understand what I'm talking about

[00:16:28] So why I can't talk about it

[00:16:30] You know what I'm saying

[00:16:31] Why the c**k can't talk about

[00:16:33] Right

[00:16:34] You know what I'm saying

[00:16:35] The first mandate before

[00:16:37] Before you read the word Jesus

[00:16:40] Holy f**k you

[00:16:41] Glory

[00:16:42] And all of those words

[00:16:43] The first mandate

[00:16:45] Before the 10 commandments

[00:16:47] The first mandate was to be fruitful

[00:16:49] And multiply

[00:16:50] And have dominion

[00:16:51] There is no way that you could be fruitful

[00:16:54] And multiply

[00:16:55] Without sexual contact

[00:16:57] You know what I'm saying

[00:16:58] And so God was saying

[00:16:59] Before y'all go and start

[00:17:01] Sacrificing animals

[00:17:03] Smash

[00:17:04] Yeah, yeah

[00:17:06] I'm still practicing

[00:17:07] I got 28 years

[00:17:09] 28 years in

[00:17:10] I'm still practicing

[00:17:11] I told him we still practicing

[00:17:12] I ain't got it right yet

[00:17:13] Listen

[00:17:14] I ain't got it right yet

[00:17:15] I'm gonna go back in the room

[00:17:16] Come on, come here

[00:17:17] Let me see what this word

[00:17:19] And everybody glorifies pimping

[00:17:21] Everybody glorifies

[00:17:22] Yeah

[00:17:23] Then with certain women

[00:17:24] You know but nobody

[00:17:25] Talks about in the kingdom

[00:17:27] You know

[00:17:29] Me and my wife celebrating

[00:17:30] 23 years this year

[00:17:31] Let's go

[00:17:32] How you stay with one woman

[00:17:35] When all these women

[00:17:36] Pulling on you

[00:17:37] Why is that not

[00:17:38] The bigger subject

[00:17:40] Man, divorce

[00:17:41] Being cheated on

[00:17:42] Destroyed marriages

[00:17:43] It's just a matter of time

[00:17:45] Destroyed marriages

[00:17:46] It destroys the neighborhoods

[00:17:48] It destroys churches

[00:17:49] Come on now

[00:17:50] It's up countries

[00:17:51] It causes wars

[00:17:52] Bro, why don't we talk about that more

[00:17:54] In our subject matter

[00:17:56] You know

[00:17:57] Like yeah

[00:17:58] That girl that's shouting by that dude

[00:18:00] Like they sleeping together

[00:18:01] Or hey

[00:18:02] He ain't in anyway

[00:18:03] But so

[00:18:04] It's good

[00:18:05] The subject matter of

[00:18:07] Pushing the envelope

[00:18:08] With music

[00:18:10] That's what I've always done

[00:18:12] I've always kind of

[00:18:13] Try to tell my life

[00:18:14] You said they done let them

[00:18:15] Christmas in the club

[00:18:16] Every song to me

[00:18:17] It's kind of like a story

[00:18:19] You know we actually live that

[00:18:20] Like the one thing

[00:18:22] We rented out

[00:18:23] Excuse me

[00:18:24] Club 112

[00:18:25] And had church

[00:18:27] In the hottest club in Atlanta

[00:18:29] And so that's what

[00:18:30] The song is about

[00:18:31] And so

[00:18:32] Most of the time man

[00:18:33] It's

[00:18:34] It's a

[00:18:35] You know it's real life for me

[00:18:37] This last situation

[00:18:39] Dropping on projects

[00:18:41] It's called they stole my computer

[00:18:43] That's the name of it

[00:18:45] And I went through a real

[00:18:47] Real weird

[00:18:49] Time when that happened

[00:18:51] I vent in my music

[00:18:53] You know so

[00:18:55] Every air condition has a vent

[00:18:57] You shut that vent off

[00:18:58] That unit goes

[00:18:59] It's gonna explode

[00:19:01] And it's gonna replace where I vent

[00:19:03] You know how I dealt with my mom's

[00:19:05] Death

[00:19:06] My dad's death

[00:19:07] You know

[00:19:08] Tough times in our lives

[00:19:10] But if I tell you

[00:19:11] What I'm talking about

[00:19:12] On certain songs

[00:19:13] You'll be like

[00:19:14] Oh

[00:19:15] You know

[00:19:16] Cause all of my songs are coded

[00:19:18] And so

[00:19:19] You know

[00:19:20] When my computer was stolen

[00:19:21] I had no place to vent

[00:19:23] And I

[00:19:24] My wife said

[00:19:25] That I was in shock

[00:19:26] For like three weeks

[00:19:27] Wow

[00:19:28] And just because I couldn't do music

[00:19:31] It wasn't

[00:19:33] You know

[00:19:34] I mean it was

[00:19:35] Because of what was on there

[00:19:37] But it was still

[00:19:38] Like I have no outlet

[00:19:40] You know

[00:19:41] And kind of panicked a little bit

[00:19:43] Um

[00:19:44] But when you

[00:19:46] I guess in panic mode or shock mode

[00:19:49] Everything to you is real

[00:19:52] Even though it's not real to everybody

[00:19:54] I was like

[00:19:55] Bro calm down

[00:19:56] Bro you got this

[00:19:57] It's like to you

[00:19:59] It's real

[00:20:00] And so

[00:20:01] The project is very very

[00:20:04] Uh

[00:20:05] I call it ghost written

[00:20:07] Um because

[00:20:08] I wrote a lot of that stuff

[00:20:10] And then went back

[00:20:11] And heard what God was saying

[00:20:13] And just broke down

[00:20:14] In tears man

[00:20:16] Cause a lot of the messages are to me

[00:20:19] You know

[00:20:20] Wow

[00:20:21] And it's uh

[00:20:22] So it's called they stole my computer

[00:20:23] Uh

[00:20:24] It's four different parts to it

[00:20:26] GodMD

[00:20:27] Um

[00:20:28] Kindle supremacy

[00:20:29] Uh

[00:20:30] The third one is called time machine

[00:20:32] The last one is I am I am

[00:20:33] And God

[00:20:34] GodMD is

[00:20:35] Is like

[00:20:36] Worship

[00:20:37] R&B

[00:20:38] Uh

[00:20:39] Chill music

[00:20:40] Uh

[00:20:41] You know

[00:20:42] And my story is in there

[00:20:44] You know and um

[00:20:46] You know when you follow me online

[00:20:48] I'll be I'll be telling you specifically

[00:20:50] What song means what

[00:20:52] And

[00:20:53] What I was going through

[00:20:55] When I wrote that song

[00:20:57] One of my most broken

[00:20:58] Places is a song called remember me

[00:21:01] Well I felt like God forgot me

[00:21:03] And I was

[00:21:04] And I was like

[00:21:05] I was like uh

[00:21:06] You know I

[00:21:07] I took it

[00:21:09] Took it to the story in the scriptures

[00:21:11] That when Jesus was hanging on the cross

[00:21:13] One man to the right one man to the left

[00:21:15] One dude mocked him and said

[00:21:17] Man if you the son of God

[00:21:19] Then

[00:21:20] Then keep yourself down

[00:21:22] And get us down

[00:21:23] So the other guy say

[00:21:24] Hey I believe you

[00:21:25] I believe you

[00:21:26] So when you get in your kingdom

[00:21:28] Please remember me

[00:21:29] And uh

[00:21:30] And at the end of that

[00:21:32] Story

[00:21:33] Uh Jesus always referred to

[00:21:35] You know uh

[00:21:36] Throughout the bible

[00:21:37] And throughout the New Testament

[00:21:38] Jesus always referred to

[00:21:40] To God as father

[00:21:43] But when he was dying

[00:21:45] He said my God my God

[00:21:47] Why have you forsaken me

[00:21:49] And it's like I don't feel you

[00:21:51] Where are you

[00:21:52] I did all of this for you

[00:21:53] And I don't feel you right now

[00:21:54] Where are you God

[00:21:55] And that's where I was on that song

[00:21:57] Like man I don't

[00:21:58] I don't feel you right now

[00:22:00] Uh where are you

[00:22:02] Remember me you forgot me

[00:22:04] And I know that a lot of people

[00:22:06] Have been in that place

[00:22:07] But I decided to bleed

[00:22:09] In front of everybody on this one

[00:22:11] Uh now Miss Dice

[00:22:13] I don't think I ever do that again

[00:22:15] I don't think I ever do

[00:22:17] A project where my pain is real time

[00:22:20] Most people come back and say

[00:22:22] Well 20 years ago I had a drinking problem

[00:22:24] And God brought me through

[00:22:26] Like I get off

[00:22:27] But this pain was real time

[00:22:29] I was trying to give it to people

[00:22:31] Uh raw because there's so many people that bleed

[00:22:34] Um uh you know and nobody knows

[00:22:37] That they're bleeding

[00:22:38] You know I had a friend of mine

[00:22:39] That take his life

[00:22:40] Uh you know a couple months ago

[00:22:42] And he was the happiest

[00:22:44] Most joyous dude

[00:22:46] Like what in the world

[00:22:48] Why would you

[00:22:49] You know and it's just crazy

[00:22:51] But you know that's the reality

[00:22:53] That we live in so that's

[00:22:54] That's the project

[00:22:55] The project is not just about that

[00:22:58] Um you know part 2 gets lit

[00:23:01] We get crazy in part 2

[00:23:04] You know uh part 3 is old school

[00:23:07] It's um I got Bootsy Collins on there

[00:23:12] I got um I got Kimberall on there

[00:23:15] I got Dottie Peoples on there

[00:23:18] But not the she ain't doing

[00:23:20] Onetime God she doing like a dog

[00:23:22] On DC Go Go record

[00:23:24] So it's all like out there

[00:23:27] You know what I'm saying?

[00:23:28] And so that's what I decided to just put

[00:23:31] Everything when my computer was stolen

[00:23:33] When I started getting some of the songs back

[00:23:35] Um I just decided to put it all out at once

[00:23:39] You know and so that's what we're

[00:23:41] First of all thank you for coming on here

[00:23:47] Um second of all I appreciate you sharing

[00:23:50] Everything you just shared

[00:23:51] But I have a question for you because

[00:23:53] Um when you're in Atlanta

[00:23:57] And if you grew up with you

[00:23:59] You know and you're in the same category

[00:24:01] As a Dietrich Haddon or a Tide Tribut

[00:24:03] And I was sitting there today trying to figure out

[00:24:04] Who you were and I was like it's like Smokey Robinson

[00:24:07] Okay so my question is

[00:24:11] Do you even know who you are?

[00:24:13] And I and I and I pose that because

[00:24:15] We if you're in ATL or you from ATL

[00:24:19] We watched you in every ministry capacity

[00:24:23] Which you your wife your kids going through

[00:24:26] You start your own ministry

[00:24:28] Up down so we see you serve so it's crazy

[00:24:30] Because you would see you serve in the church

[00:24:32] You see you serve on the street

[00:24:34] You would see you do music with whoever's in the trap

[00:24:38] And it was like it's almost unbelievable

[00:24:41] Because you make it look so easy

[00:24:43] You know what I'm saying like it's just very natural

[00:24:45] You know and and you are you are at Atlanta

[00:24:48] And and I can't compare you to R. Kelly anymore

[00:24:50] Because we already know what he was into

[00:24:52] But at a point in time it was like

[00:24:54] It was like this is who like it was just like

[00:24:57] It was unbelievable to see you go from

[00:25:00] A lot of adversity when I I mean from

[00:25:04] It's crazy and rest in power to your friend

[00:25:08] That life is is in heaven I'm sure

[00:25:10] But I'm sitting here like I'm sure

[00:25:12] Millions of people didn't kill

[00:25:14] Theyself because you did what you and I

[00:25:16] I'm just a I know because I was there

[00:25:18] You know what I'm saying like and I would

[00:25:20] Either be an audience you know what I'm saying

[00:25:22] Or maybe I would be in this at the same venue

[00:25:24] Or maybe maybe I went on stage before you

[00:25:27] And that's what I'm like do you even know

[00:25:30] Like like you know what I'm saying like it's it's it's crazy

[00:25:33] Like has God ever shown you this is the impact you're having

[00:25:36] Like you like you're impacting the world

[00:25:38] It's not just Atlanta you know what I mean

[00:25:41] That's a good that's a great question

[00:25:44] Um phenomenal question to be honest with you

[00:25:48] Because somebody asked me two or three days ago

[00:25:53] They said when did you know that you made it

[00:25:56] Right and I said uh I said man

[00:26:00] Uh when you swimming on the water

[00:26:05] You really don't know where you are

[00:26:07] Because you just you just swim and you stroke it

[00:26:09] And you don't know where you are

[00:26:11] Till you come up for air

[00:26:13] And most of the time you're coming up for air

[00:26:15] To keep going forward

[00:26:17] You have to go back to the shore to find out

[00:26:20] How far you've been swimming

[00:26:22] And sometimes you know you don't that's feeling far between

[00:26:25] Because you you you're still hustling

[00:26:28] And so I remember man uh my dad

[00:26:32] You know my dad passed in 2010 and 2009

[00:26:36] My wife and I we moved to this house

[00:26:39] And my dad does he did pools

[00:26:41] So I bought a house with a pool

[00:26:43] I wanted my dad to come check it out and fix it

[00:26:46] And do his thing and uh he checked the pool

[00:26:50] And all that and he um came in the house

[00:26:53] And he said boy you made it

[00:26:56] And I said to him I did

[00:27:01] Like he like yeah

[00:27:06] And at that moment

[00:27:09] I felt like I made it

[00:27:12] But I didn't I was working

[00:27:15] And man every project that I made

[00:27:18] Has been for somebody else

[00:27:20] Um 20 years my first project was called

[00:27:23] 20 years 3 months 2 of days

[00:27:25] That's the day I met my wife

[00:27:26] That's that's that's that type

[00:27:28] Uh password is when I understood Jesus

[00:27:32] A lot more so I called it password Jesus

[00:27:34] Um love Jones is my my oldest child

[00:27:38] My daughter you know and and so on

[00:27:40] And so forth every project was a person

[00:27:43] Uh the millionaire is my son

[00:27:45] God see this is my other son

[00:27:47] Just as my other son

[00:27:49] Uh my mom went home to be with the Lord

[00:27:51] I made a project called ghost

[00:27:53] And then I made a part uh that's from her

[00:27:56] Power I made in 22 uh 2020

[00:27:59] That was for my dad

[00:28:01] So I was making this project just to

[00:28:04] You know really to to vent and to help people

[00:28:08] You know with my music but I was just putting it out

[00:28:11] Because the original plan was to do EPs

[00:28:14] Not to do 61 songs

[00:28:16] I was trying to do five songs

[00:28:18] Four songs six songs and put them out

[00:28:21] I wasn't trying to do 61 songs at one time

[00:28:24] But when I put the project out

[00:28:27] It wasn't until I released

[00:28:29] I released the project

[00:28:31] And I was writing home from the release party

[00:28:35] And the Lord says

[00:28:37] You made this project for you

[00:28:40] And I just

[00:28:43] And he says if you if you invert some of the song or

[00:28:48] Or like you feel it's like you're writing songs

[00:28:51] For other people man yeah a person like this needs this

[00:28:54] A person like this needs this

[00:28:56] Then I try to put myself in different people's positions

[00:28:58] So I can minister to them through song

[00:29:00] And if I and the Lord said that this record is for you

[00:29:04] And I started to turn some of the songs around

[00:29:07] And I realized I've been writing to myself

[00:29:10] And it's like what in the world now

[00:29:14] I don't

[00:29:16] God did this one

[00:29:18] I don't know because so I'm going to start breaking them down

[00:29:23] So people can understand where I was

[00:29:28] When I wrote every song

[00:29:30] And because it was for me

[00:29:35] But it's going to hurt it's going to help other people

[00:29:37] It is the probably the dopest writing that God has ever done

[00:29:45] Because I write on the mic

[00:29:50] So I don't write on paper or in my phone

[00:29:53] I write I just think of it and say it

[00:29:55] Think of it and say it kind of like everybody doing right now

[00:29:58] Think of it and say it think of it and say it

[00:30:01] And then I go back

[00:30:03] And I'm like wow

[00:30:05] Like I wasn't I didn't know that I was saying that

[00:30:09] And then I didn't know I was saying that to me

[00:30:13] And so it's a song called I See You

[00:30:18] You know how can you serve a God that you can't see

[00:30:22] How can you serve a God you can't feel

[00:30:24] Well when I see the sun I see you

[00:30:26] When I see the moon I see you

[00:30:28] When I see the stars I see you

[00:30:30] I see you God and everything

[00:30:32] But it's not only I see you

[00:30:34] I mean I see you

[00:30:36] I'm in intensive care

[00:30:38] I'm in a broken place

[00:30:41] You know and so that's why I was writing

[00:30:43] When I felt like I was right

[00:30:44] But then God turned it and said

[00:30:46] Now it's for you

[00:30:47] And then he said from heaven

[00:30:49] I see you

[00:30:51] I see everything that you're going through

[00:30:53] I see what you've been through

[00:30:54] And I haven't left you

[00:30:56] I know you said remember me

[00:30:57] But Canton Jones I see you

[00:30:59] And so that is a three dimensional right

[00:31:05] I've never done anything that's crazy

[00:31:09] And so that is kind of what the project is about

[00:31:12] It's just God kind of speaking to people

[00:31:16] But he's speaking to me as well

[00:31:18] Listen Dicey came on here preaching today

[00:31:20] Listen the legendary K. Joe is on the line

[00:31:23] Don't touch that dial we're going to break

[00:31:25] We're coming right back with more Kent Jones

[00:31:27] Keep it locked you tune it to the fix

[00:31:29] And the fix is in

[00:31:31] Welcome back welcome back DJ Focus Dice Gamble

[00:31:33] We still got the super talented Kent Jones on with us

[00:31:36] And he preaching preaching

[00:31:38] How did you go about getting all these collaborations

[00:31:40] Like on this project cause like

[00:31:43] It feels like you touched every area of the church

[00:31:47] To your point

[00:31:48] No no no you did

[00:31:49] You did a great job

[00:31:50] So this is for everything

[00:31:52] The church mothers got a little something they can hum too

[00:31:54] And sing to

[00:31:55] Let's be very clear

[00:31:56] Shouts out to the usher board

[00:31:57] And the mamas of the church

[00:31:59] Cause they going to do their thing

[00:32:00] Then you got everything for the hip hop

[00:32:02] You know when you talk about Don Tino on here

[00:32:04] One case you on here

[00:32:05] Zay Tovan

[00:32:06] You spoke about the marriages

[00:32:08] How why was that so important

[00:32:10] To give that element of everything

[00:32:12] In this project

[00:32:13] And then where do you go from here

[00:32:15] Like I feel like you just set the bar so high Kent

[00:32:17] What you going to do next

[00:32:19] You're going to have to make three movies

[00:32:21] Man

[00:32:23] Man

[00:32:25] Uh

[00:32:26] Thanks

[00:32:27] If you look at the artwork

[00:32:31] It's a collage of me

[00:32:33] Different pictures

[00:32:34] This is the first artwork cause I'm real picky

[00:32:37] When it come to artwork that's going to be forever

[00:32:40] So it takes me forever to settle on

[00:32:43] Certain fonts and pictures

[00:32:45] And um

[00:32:47] This artwork

[00:32:49] I explained it to the guy through text

[00:32:52] I didn't even talk to him

[00:32:53] Cause I was on some way

[00:32:54] I was like man imma call you later

[00:32:56] It's basically go

[00:32:57] You know I see this and I see that

[00:32:59] And in the artwork he came back with

[00:33:02] Without me talking

[00:33:04] And it was

[00:33:07] The perfect thing that I had in my head

[00:33:09] But I was like how did you do that

[00:33:11] And when I talked to him

[00:33:13] He was just like man God gave it to me

[00:33:15] And so I realized at that point

[00:33:17] God's hands was on it

[00:33:19] So most of the

[00:33:21] The oldest beat

[00:33:23] Cause some of the tracks

[00:33:25] I got

[00:33:27] And when the computer was stolen

[00:33:29] I couldn't really get back to mix it

[00:33:31] So I just ran with the track that I had

[00:33:34] And to keep it authentic

[00:33:36] I just wanted to be like you know what

[00:33:38] I'm not going to remake the beat

[00:33:40] We're not going to change the beat

[00:33:42] I'm just going to use this beat

[00:33:44] And we're just going to rock with it as is

[00:33:46] This is a dumb story but I got to tell it

[00:33:49] The oldest beat on that

[00:33:52] Is the Dottie People's track

[00:33:54] So I made that track

[00:33:58] In 2018

[00:34:00] My mom passed

[00:34:02] And that was one of my event sessions

[00:34:04] And so

[00:34:06] The heart behind the time machine

[00:34:08] Which is part 3 with the old school

[00:34:10] Now there ain't no old school record

[00:34:12] What it is

[00:34:14] Is if my mom of them was teenagers

[00:34:17] And had

[00:34:20] Music like what we did for hip hop

[00:34:23] Make Christian hip hop

[00:34:25] If they had Christian funk

[00:34:27] Christian stuff

[00:34:29] What would it sound like

[00:34:31] If their music was redeemed

[00:34:33] And that's the heart behind it

[00:34:35] So it's not church music per se

[00:34:37] Or the church

[00:34:39] It is their era

[00:34:41] 60s, 70s, 80s

[00:34:43] Redeemed

[00:34:45] And so it is funky

[00:34:47] Like it got the swag on it

[00:34:49] So the first track

[00:34:51] The oldest track is the Dottie People's track

[00:34:53] Well I called Dottie

[00:34:55] I was afraid to call her to be honest with you

[00:34:57] And I got a great relationship with her

[00:34:59] I just didn't think that she would do something

[00:35:01] Outside of what she does

[00:35:03] But I was like

[00:35:05] I was like, I got something for you

[00:35:07] But it's different

[00:35:09] But I got something

[00:35:11] She said, alright

[00:35:13] She let her people listen to it

[00:35:15] I demoed it

[00:35:17] But I demoed it

[00:35:19] It sucked the way I demoed it

[00:35:21] I didn't get no girl to demo it

[00:35:23] So she was like

[00:35:25] I don't know

[00:35:27] And I was like just give me a try

[00:35:29] And then my deadline was coming up

[00:35:31] So I was like

[00:35:33] Well let me call

[00:35:35] Let me call Kimberrill to do it

[00:35:37] So when I called Kimberrill to do it

[00:35:39] When I called Kimberrill to do it

[00:35:41] Dottie People's called back

[00:35:43] After Kimberrill said

[00:35:45] She'll do it

[00:35:47] Dottie People's called back and said

[00:35:49] Okay, I'll do it

[00:35:51] So now I gotta find a song

[00:35:53] For Kimberrill

[00:35:55] So then I get a track

[00:35:57] I was like okay that's perfect for her

[00:35:59] Alright

[00:36:01] So we set the date

[00:36:03] Dottie People's is on the way to the studio

[00:36:05] Then she says

[00:36:07] Baby I can't make it today

[00:36:09] We're gonna have to change the date

[00:36:11] But I was like man I'm a deadline

[00:36:13] I'm gonna have to get

[00:36:15] Man let me call Darlene McCoy

[00:36:17] Call Darlene McCoy

[00:36:19] Darlene McCoy like

[00:36:21] I'll be there in an hour

[00:36:23] Let's work

[00:36:25] Darlene McCoy get

[00:36:27] 10 minutes from the studio

[00:36:29] And Dottie People's called back

[00:36:31] Dottie People's say baby I'll be there

[00:36:33] 10 minutes

[00:36:35] Oh my god

[00:36:37] So now

[00:36:39] I don't have a song for Darlene

[00:36:41] I don't have a song for Darlene

[00:36:43] So Darlene shows up

[00:36:45] In the studio

[00:36:47] Goes outside

[00:36:49] She had to do an interview

[00:36:51] Something she had to do on radio

[00:36:53] She goes outside

[00:36:55] And the Holy Spirit downloads

[00:36:57] The hook for her

[00:36:59] When she get there

[00:37:01] And by the time she's

[00:37:03] Ready to come back in the studio

[00:37:05] Dottie People's pulled up

[00:37:07] It's like 4 songs

[00:37:09] 4 songs paying by this Dottie People song

[00:37:11] It's crazy

[00:37:13] And so I record with Dottie People

[00:37:15] And then

[00:37:17] After that I do the song with Darlene McCoy

[00:37:19] Darlene

[00:37:21] The hook and if you listen to

[00:37:23] This song with Darlene McCoy

[00:37:25] It is

[00:37:27] A movie because

[00:37:29] We're recording

[00:37:31] I said

[00:37:33] God just told me to put your son on it

[00:37:35] So call your son

[00:37:37] And she said

[00:37:39] You know what I'm saying

[00:37:41] Champ is for his thing

[00:37:43] And champ kind of doing

[00:37:45] Mainstream he's doing his thing

[00:37:47] But I was like it's cool bro

[00:37:49] Like do your thing

[00:37:51] Come on just do your thing

[00:37:53] If you cuss I'ma take the words

[00:37:55] And make sure I bleep them out

[00:37:57] But I need your heart

[00:37:59] I need your heart

[00:38:01] I need your heart and so

[00:38:03] He starts rapping his heart

[00:38:05] Well he's on the phone

[00:38:07] He doesn't send me his part yet

[00:38:09] So now

[00:38:11] When we're going back into the studio to finish

[00:38:13] Darlene

[00:38:15] Now knows

[00:38:17] That my son is gonna be on this

[00:38:19] And I am having a conversation with my son

[00:38:21] The song is called You Gotta Be Holy

[00:38:23] And she starts off

[00:38:25] As Darlene McCoy

[00:38:27] In the middle of that song

[00:38:29] She starts

[00:38:31] She turns into mom

[00:38:33] And she is screaming out for him

[00:38:35] And it's

[00:38:37] Every time I tell the story it gives me chills

[00:38:39] She is screaming out for him in the studio

[00:38:41] She is almost like she's begging for his life

[00:38:43] Save him

[00:38:45] You know

[00:38:47] And you can hear all the ad-libs

[00:38:49] But she's crying, she drops the headphone

[00:38:51] I kept everything in there

[00:38:53] I was like uh-uh I'm keeping it all

[00:38:55] And she puts the headphones back on

[00:38:57] And starts going back in

[00:38:59] And I was like oh my god

[00:39:01] Well that song

[00:39:03] Champ is on the first verse, I'm on the second verse

[00:39:05] Champ represents me

[00:39:07] When I was at that age

[00:39:09] Cause that's the same thing I was telling my momma

[00:39:11] In second verse

[00:39:13] I'm talking to me

[00:39:15] 20 years earlier

[00:39:17] So it's like I'm talking to my son

[00:39:19] In the song and my mom is saying

[00:39:21] You gotta be holy cause that's what she used to say

[00:39:23] She called me in song

[00:39:25] You gotta be holy

[00:39:27] And so songs like that

[00:39:29] All of that

[00:39:31] Came from Dottie people

[00:39:33] Yup

[00:39:35] Wow

[00:39:37] Man in the trip about it

[00:39:39] Before the record dropped

[00:39:41] I sent Darlene and Champ

[00:39:43] The master just for them to check it out

[00:39:45] And they let their family listen to it

[00:39:47] And they went on a trip

[00:39:49] As a family

[00:39:51] To the cabin

[00:39:53] And

[00:39:55] Man

[00:39:57] Darlene said she went horseback riding

[00:39:59] And Champ went kayaking

[00:40:01] And the thing flipped over

[00:40:03] And he was

[00:40:05] He was drowning cause he was going

[00:40:07] And he couldn't get out

[00:40:09] Mercy

[00:40:11] He said

[00:40:13] The only thing he could hear

[00:40:15] Is his mom screaming on that track

[00:40:19] You gotta be holy

[00:40:21] Save him

[00:40:23] He's your man

[00:40:25] Oh my god and he say his cousin flipped him over

[00:40:27] At the last minute

[00:40:29] And I'm telling you I'm just like

[00:40:31] So you're talking about a movie

[00:40:33] Like every song

[00:40:35] Is a story in itself

[00:40:37] It's a dimensional record

[00:40:39] I don't know how to explain it

[00:40:41] But it has

[00:40:43] I call them rooms

[00:40:45] It's like man this

[00:40:47] This is rooms

[00:40:49] Like when you go in it's a whole story

[00:40:51] I'm not just writing to be writing

[00:40:53] These songs are rooms

[00:40:55] And so

[00:40:57] Like

[00:40:59] 61 songs take your time going through it

[00:41:01] Based off of your story

[00:41:03] It'll be a year

[00:41:05] It'll be a year

[00:41:07] It'll be a year for somebody to see with this

[00:41:09] Hey

[00:41:11] But you said where do I go after this

[00:41:13] Woo

[00:41:15] I'm finna drop again bro

[00:41:17] I ain't waiting

[00:41:19] We just can't take off it

[00:41:21] Like here's why

[00:41:23] Cause most of that record is

[00:41:25] Like I got songs that I

[00:41:27] That's old Kjo

[00:41:29] Vintage Kjo

[00:41:31] That I never released

[00:41:33] Maybe I couldn't clear a sample

[00:41:35] Or

[00:41:37] Couldn't get this business trade on this

[00:41:39] For some reason or another

[00:41:41] I got

[00:41:43] Probably 15 of those

[00:41:45] That's just ready to go, they're just sitting

[00:41:47] And then I'm working on a record

[00:41:49] With Zaytovan, like a whole Zaytovan

[00:41:51] Produced project

[00:41:53] So I'm not stopping

[00:41:55] Now I would say this

[00:41:57] I would say this

[00:41:59] The very aggressive Kjo

[00:42:01] Is

[00:42:03] Not all the way on this

[00:42:05] Like

[00:42:07] Kingdom supremacy

[00:42:09] Is part two

[00:42:11] On there a little bit

[00:42:13] We talk about song freaking believer

[00:42:15] And all that type of stuff

[00:42:17] But I didn't go real aggressive on this

[00:42:19] I was more archy on this project

[00:42:21] But for the next one

[00:42:23] I got a little things to say

[00:42:25] So

[00:42:27] I'm in

[00:42:29] I'm in your minds as well

[00:42:31] Especially on that Zaytovan project

[00:42:33] That better be Jesus and trap music all day

[00:42:35] I don't want to hear nothing else

[00:42:37] If it don't come out like that

[00:42:39] Were you okay?

[00:42:41] You and your brother we do it

[00:42:43] I need to know what was going on

[00:42:45] I'm trapped overdue

[00:42:47] But that's how I am

[00:42:49] I'm a moody musician

[00:42:51] I get in the mode of wanting to make techno

[00:42:53] And wanting to make different type of stuff

[00:42:55] That's just how I am

[00:42:57] But right now I'm trapped overdue

[00:42:59] I just want to do a lot of that

[00:43:01] So

[00:43:03] Later this year

[00:43:05] It's coming, I'ma let everybody sit with these other records for a while

[00:43:07] And then I'ma drop

[00:43:09] This year my goal is to

[00:43:11] We've already set gospel music history

[00:43:13] With the most songs released in one day

[00:43:15] And I'ma

[00:43:17] Congratulations to that

[00:43:19] I'ma push it up a little bit

[00:43:21] For the most songs released in one year

[00:43:23] Absolutely

[00:43:25] I do gotta ask you before we get you out of here man

[00:43:27] What's that one thing you're changing about

[00:43:29] Black church man

[00:43:31] Come on man cause I know you've been very vocal

[00:43:33] Why you do that

[00:43:35] Cause I don't know what he's coming back

[00:43:37] So I gotta ask

[00:43:39] I gotta ask, I don't know what he's coming back

[00:43:41] And I respect his opinion

[00:43:43] Come on and tell me

[00:43:45] We need to get the show called the Fix Dice

[00:43:47] We call it the Fix

[00:43:49] Get in number Black church in Georgia Focus

[00:43:51] I know

[00:43:53] And that's why I gotta ask

[00:43:55] Where do we need

[00:43:57] In your humble opinion

[00:43:59] You've been around a lot of bishops

[00:44:01] Pastors

[00:44:03] First circuits you didn't do it at all

[00:44:05] I'ma say no names

[00:44:07] Please be a

[00:44:09] Have a cat Williams spirit

[00:44:11] That's already known

[00:44:15] I already know

[00:44:17] I told him I got kicked out of two churches in Georgia

[00:44:19] I mean, what are we talking about

[00:44:21] Two, not one, two

[00:44:23] Uh

[00:44:25] Hmm

[00:44:27] So how we love on each other

[00:44:29] Is that a fair assessment

[00:44:31] Nah, nah, nah, nah

[00:44:33] I'ma do it like this

[00:44:35] I'ma do it like this

[00:44:37] Um, we are asked

[00:44:39] Not to judge

[00:44:41] Alright, that's the first thing that people say

[00:44:43] Don't judge, don't judge, don't judge

[00:44:45] Don't judge, don't judge, don't judge

[00:44:47] And the people that ask you

[00:44:49] Not to judge

[00:44:51] Are the main judgmental people

[00:44:53] That judge you

[00:44:55] Um, they judge

[00:44:57] How you worship, they judge

[00:44:59] Yeah

[00:45:01] So if a guy

[00:45:03] Or girl

[00:45:05] Is working on something

[00:45:07] Let's just say they're working on something

[00:45:12] Then don't judge

[00:45:14] Us

[00:45:16] For, you know

[00:45:18] I'm trying to do this thing as political as possible

[00:45:20] But

[00:45:22] If my mans is up there

[00:45:24] I'ma just keep it real, y'all can have the cleanness

[00:45:26] But if my man is up there

[00:45:28] Praising God

[00:45:30] Like a female

[00:45:32] Alright, and we're asked not to judge that

[00:45:34] And we don't judge

[00:45:36] We let everybody

[00:45:38] Kind of, you know, work his out

[00:45:40] That's probably what you, you know

[00:45:42] Your conversation with God and things that you've been through

[00:45:44] I ain't here to judge

[00:45:46] I'm just asking you not to judge me

[00:45:48] When I come up there

[00:45:50] Just don't judge me, I ain't judging y'all

[00:45:52] I ain't judging you, bro

[00:45:54] I got friends, great friends

[00:45:56] That go through that

[00:45:58] Like, like, bro, that's, you know

[00:46:00] I'm praying for you, but don't judge me

[00:46:02] When I come in there

[00:46:04] With my swag and how I praise God

[00:46:06] How you gonna judge me

[00:46:08] And you asking me not to judge you

[00:46:10] You know what I'm saying

[00:46:12] And so that's the whole thing

[00:46:14] Like, come on man

[00:46:16] That's the thing that everybody go to

[00:46:18] Well, don't judge

[00:46:20] But then don't judge me

[00:46:22] You know what I'm saying

[00:46:24] Like if they're gonna let you pray on Sunday morning

[00:46:26] Why they won't let me pray on Sunday morning

[00:46:28] No one that I'm struck

[00:46:30] What?

[00:46:32] And so the culture

[00:46:34] The African American culture is not represented in church

[00:46:36] The church is surrounded by hip hop

[00:46:38] When you get out of church

[00:46:40] I don't care what you say or do

[00:46:42] You are gonna run slap dab

[00:46:44] In the hip hop at the gas station

[00:46:46] At the grocery store

[00:46:48] Hip hop runs your neighborhood if you black

[00:46:50] That is just what it is

[00:46:52] Why not worship with that culture

[00:46:54] Why not worship with the culture that your church is in

[00:46:56] That's like being in

[00:46:58] Jamaica

[00:47:00] And not worshiping with Rege

[00:47:02] What if you go

[00:47:04] We're gonna worship with country in here

[00:47:06] Right

[00:47:08] You understand the culture that you're in

[00:47:10] And so we are so behind

[00:47:12] Because we are afraid

[00:47:14] You know I just got a big opinion about this

[00:47:16] A lot of times

[00:47:18] So hip hop guys

[00:47:20] Just don't let anything fly

[00:47:22] And we're gonna ask questions

[00:47:24] You know we're gonna pass the R

[00:47:26] I was good when you said that

[00:47:28] But can you explain this or I don't agree with that

[00:47:30] Man you know and brothers will

[00:47:32] Tell you that they don't agree

[00:47:34] And sometimes pastors don't like that

[00:47:38] Like and so sometimes the culture

[00:47:40] Is conducive

[00:47:42] For you know

[00:47:44] Everybody to agree

[00:47:46] You know one alpha

[00:47:48] And everybody else is

[00:47:50] That's not reality

[00:47:52] Right

[00:47:54] And also

[00:47:56] Help me bro

[00:47:58] If you know I'm trying to make something

[00:48:00] Help me pastor

[00:48:02] Don't be standoff if you got security

[00:48:04] But you calling me your spiritual son

[00:48:06] Like how can I be your son

[00:48:08] And I can't get to you

[00:48:10] Come on now

[00:48:12] What culture is that

[00:48:14] No

[00:48:16] The whole thing about

[00:48:18] The culture has to be represented on Sunday morning

[00:48:20] It is not

[00:48:22] It is not at all

[00:48:24] And the African American culture

[00:48:26] Is so

[00:48:28] Diverse

[00:48:30] And it's so creative

[00:48:32] But we don't represent in the

[00:48:34] Triple body

[00:48:36] But you should ask this question

[00:48:38] Yeah I should

[00:48:40] It's a mix state coming out of this too

[00:48:42] It's a mix state coming out of this

[00:48:44] It's a mix state

[00:48:46] It's a mix state for you

[00:48:48] Bro

[00:48:50] Bro

[00:48:52] The other part of this

[00:48:54] Man is we feel like

[00:48:56] We holy when we

[00:48:58] Start doing other people's culture

[00:49:02] When the song

[00:49:04] The more

[00:49:06] Non black you are

[00:49:08] The holier you become

[00:49:12] And that's just not cool

[00:49:14] That ain't cool to me

[00:49:16] You know what I'm saying

[00:49:18] I love

[00:49:20] All types of diversity

[00:49:22] I love white people

[00:49:24] I love it

[00:49:26] But man we have a culture

[00:49:28] And we can't just go to our culture

[00:49:30] When it's just negro spirituals

[00:49:32] Slavery and all

[00:49:34] That's the only time we black

[00:49:36] Is when we flame

[00:49:38] That's the only thing you remember about me

[00:49:40] You gotta understand that before I was a slave

[00:49:42] You get me

[00:49:44] Come on now

[00:49:46] Before that was slave

[00:49:48] Before that

[00:49:50] It's so in our churches man

[00:49:54] Sometimes when it's about the money

[00:49:56] The pastor trying to do the best thing

[00:49:58] To keep the lights on

[00:50:00] I understand that perspective too

[00:50:02] But you know

[00:50:04] There's a culture

[00:50:06] That's outside your church that you lock it out

[00:50:08] Because you don't allow them

[00:50:10] To express themselves or have an expression

[00:50:12] Of who they are

[00:50:14] On your stages

[00:50:16] And that's why they don't come to church

[00:50:18] Yo

[00:50:22] Well

[00:50:24] They didn't go on a cash app him

[00:50:26] He didn't gave every church

[00:50:28] The cheat code

[00:50:30] To what it is

[00:50:32] I mean I know

[00:50:34] Been there done that

[00:50:36] And it's unfortunate

[00:50:38] Especially when you're artists

[00:50:40] But it stems from your leaders

[00:50:42] Who are saying this is okay

[00:50:44] This is not okay

[00:50:46] Support this artist

[00:50:48] Are you serious? I'm out here serving

[00:50:50] I'm a linus

[00:50:52] What are we talking about

[00:50:54] I'm fooling the industry

[00:50:56] But you don't get the same love

[00:50:58] You can bring somebody

[00:51:00] Who was on billboard last week

[00:51:02] And push them

[00:51:04] You know what I'm saying

[00:51:06] And they have the same

[00:51:08] They had the same swag

[00:51:10] It just represents one side of our culture

[00:51:12] It doesn't represent all of the culture

[00:51:14] All of it though

[00:51:16] You're just representing one side of the culture

[00:51:18] Which we respect

[00:51:20] We respect it

[00:51:22] We get with them

[00:51:24] Like we do

[00:51:26] But I get with y'all

[00:51:28] I get with all of them

[00:51:30] And so

[00:51:32] I feel like just the boldness

[00:51:34] Of who... like pastor

[00:51:36] Let somebody rap on Sunday

[00:51:38] Which is easy

[00:51:40] All you gotta do is let him rap with the number 2

[00:51:42] With the number 3 choir

[00:51:44] Put him a robe on and just let him

[00:51:46] Rap in the middle of amazing grace

[00:51:48] And then that's the fulfillment of it

[00:51:50] You ain't gotta change the song

[00:51:52] Just let him rap in the middle of it

[00:51:54] Y'all got a live band

[00:51:56] Let him rap a couple bars in the middle

[00:51:58] Of something that y'all already do

[00:52:00] He ain't gotta do his new song

[00:52:02] That don't nobody know

[00:52:04] Let him rap in the middle of it

[00:52:06] And it shows the culture

[00:52:08] Or let him stand up there with the deacons

[00:52:10] When they praying and let them fumble over prayer

[00:52:12] But it shows a representation

[00:52:14] And a connection that you are at least

[00:52:16] Trying to connect with the communion

[00:52:18] Trying to connect

[00:52:20] These people ain't coming from overseas

[00:52:22] To come to your church

[00:52:24] They're coming from across the street

[00:52:26] Come on now

[00:52:28] You are in a hip hop

[00:52:30] Pastor

[00:52:32] But your church if you black

[00:52:34] You are

[00:52:36] In an African American

[00:52:38] Neighborhood

[00:52:40] Because if you were not

[00:52:42] Then your church would be empty

[00:52:44] Let me just keep it real

[00:52:46] Ain't no I'm saying

[00:52:48] Because if you're not doing

[00:52:50] Their culture

[00:52:52] Over there

[00:52:54] They leave it

[00:52:56] You could preach Jesus all you want to

[00:52:58] But if the culture of the church

[00:53:00] Is not what we like

[00:53:02] We gone

[00:53:04] We're the only ones that's compromising

[00:53:06] In my opinion

[00:53:08] Everybody got their opinion

[00:53:10] So you ask

[00:53:12] No no that's good

[00:53:14] We appreciate you coming through man

[00:56:12] Of slutty vegan

[00:56:14] And um I know she has multiple

[00:56:16] Locations um I know my first

[00:56:18] Introduction was her

[00:56:20] Restaurant in Atlanta

[00:56:22] That's the first one me and my wife went to

[00:56:24] Maybe five years ago

[00:56:26] I think it's about five years ago now

[00:56:28] Four or five years ago somewhere in the last

[00:56:30] Four to five years and uh my wife was like

[00:56:32] Come on I wanna everybody been talking about

[00:56:34] I wanna go I wanna go I wanna go

[00:56:36] And you know me Dice I'm like

[00:56:38] Babe I'm not I'm telling my wife baby

[00:56:40] I'm not going I'm not about to waste my time

[00:56:42] If I want some real soul food

[00:56:44] Cheese and and something else I'm like

[00:56:46] No no I want real mac and cheese I won't

[00:56:48] I won't what you say that I want somebody

[00:56:50] With a fluffy arm

[00:56:52] Wobble a little bit to make my

[00:56:54] I won't take that cheese that consistency

[00:56:56] Don't if I can't pull it back

[00:56:58] Before I put them on I don't want it so

[00:57:00] My wife finally talked neither to say

[00:57:02] My wife talked me into it y'all talk to the wife

[00:57:04] Said you know we talked about it in the summer

[00:57:06] And I'll be honest with you guys I actually enjoyed it

[00:57:08] I went to it um I had

[00:57:10] A meal and I actually enjoyed it

[00:57:12] And I was tripping that this was all

[00:57:14] Vegan in a sense so

[00:57:16] Yeah just you know I know

[00:57:18] I said a lot but I know you want to share

[00:57:20] Just in general you know the vegan

[00:57:22] Pinky called some of the history

[00:57:24] I know you know a lot of history on her

[00:57:26] As well as a lot of vegan restaurant

[00:57:28] Owners yeah

[00:57:30] Um I mean shout out to Pinky

[00:57:32] Doing her thing and we

[00:57:34] Like I said I think off air we had reported

[00:57:36] On her before like overcoming adversity

[00:57:38] Trying that restaurant

[00:57:40] In New York and not making it

[00:57:42] But not giving up on the dream you know

[00:57:44] Just relocating restarting

[00:57:46] And I think she realized

[00:57:48] I just need to get in the right community

[00:57:50] That understands what I'm saying

[00:57:52] And so like I was talking to you off air

[00:57:54] Um and the beautiful

[00:57:56] In Atlanta is a place

[00:57:58] That has always had vegan food

[00:58:00] But the one restaurant I really

[00:58:02] Wanted to bring up was soul vegetarian

[00:58:04] Focus and for me

[00:58:06] These are the restaurants

[00:58:08] That kicked off

[00:58:10] Veganism in Georgia

[00:58:12] In the south period like

[00:58:14] Soul vegetarian has been a business

[00:58:16] For like 40 to 50 years

[00:58:18] So

[00:58:20] I don't know like when people are

[00:58:22] Like oh the vegan is a thing

[00:58:24] It just became a thing in 2000

[00:58:26] No it's been a thing since 1970

[00:58:28] In Atlanta Georgia for sure

[00:58:30] Like from the Rastas

[00:58:32] Who like especially me you know

[00:58:34] I was on my Rastafari ism

[00:58:36] At one point and um

[00:58:38] You know when I would go to get my hair

[00:58:40] Locked up or twisted you know

[00:58:42] Like there's a huge community

[00:58:44] Of brothers and sisters who

[00:58:46] Which share with you you are what you eat

[00:58:48] You are what you eat

[00:58:50] Period you ain't gonna get away from that

[00:58:52] Whatever you're putting in your body

[00:58:54] Is affecting your body

[00:58:56] And so um man

[00:58:58] I grew my hair out focused all the way down

[00:59:00] My back in like five years

[00:59:02] Like switching my diet

[00:59:04] And so um I love all things

[00:59:06] Vegetarian but uh for me you know

[00:59:08] I'd much props to all of you

[00:59:10] Who came before pinky

[00:59:12] And Atlanta knows everything

[00:59:14] I'm talking about and I think pinky does as well

[00:59:16] Like there wouldn't even be an opportunity

[00:59:18] For her restaurants in Atlanta

[00:59:20] If there wasn't already a vegan community

[00:59:22] That wanted her food you understand what I'm saying

[00:59:26] Okay I was like

[00:59:28] Okay I'm like you know I'm at all there

[00:59:30] I'm like man you know I put some respect on atl

[00:59:32] We've been ahead of the game

[00:59:34] From a health perspective for a long time

[00:59:36] And I'm just grateful

[00:59:38] Cause I think I shared the story with you

[00:59:40] My doctor was the one who suggested

[00:59:42] A restart of

[00:59:44] Vegan cleanse when I was sick

[00:59:46] Morehouse doctor

[00:59:48] You know so it's like

[00:59:50] There has been an awareness in the African American

[00:59:52] Community there that food is

[00:59:54] Affecting your diabetic

[00:59:56] Response you know

[00:59:58] Food is affecting if you're

[01:00:00] Allergic to something food is affecting

[01:00:02] How you breathe out here

[01:00:04] You know if your food is

[01:00:06] It's feeding you

[01:00:08] So if you don't have any living food

[01:00:10] In you well

[01:00:12] You're probably gonna die sooner than you

[01:00:14] Should have should

[01:00:16] But yeah I love it man

[01:00:18] Shout out to all of you

[01:00:20] Go ahead

[01:00:22] No I was just gonna say you brought some key points

[01:00:24] And I think when you talk about from the health standpoint

[01:00:26] That you went on that plant based

[01:00:28] Diet vegan diet

[01:00:30] Why do you think so many people

[01:00:32] Do not want to embrace this

[01:00:34] This way or this diet to

[01:00:36] Do the reset cause to your point

[01:00:38] I've been on some not

[01:00:40] 100% vegan but more of

[01:00:42] Vegetable

[01:00:44] Like detoxes

[01:00:46] That I know has been very beneficial to me

[01:00:48] So yeah shout out to y'all who don't think

[01:00:50] Some of these detoxes and some of these cleanses work

[01:00:52] Just to back up with Dyson

[01:00:54] Yes they do you feel different

[01:00:56] You wake up different

[01:00:58] You have more energy

[01:01:00] Listen I even saw

[01:01:02] My wife

[01:01:04] The pupils in my eyes

[01:01:06] They were getting like more

[01:01:08] Color to them

[01:01:10] Sometimes they can be

[01:01:12] Different colors that make sense

[01:01:14] So yeah just in general

[01:01:16] I was like wow my skin

[01:01:18] Even my skin I was like wow my skin

[01:01:20] Shining a little bit I ain't even putting my shade butt all on

[01:01:22] My face and it's still shining

[01:01:24] Yeah well I mean whatever

[01:01:26] Even if it comes to your pores that's why when you see people

[01:01:28] To have really bad acne it's a gut issue

[01:01:30] Like you don't even have to

[01:01:32] Think about nothing

[01:01:34] It's a gut issue so if their skin is breaking out

[01:01:36] You can tell if somebody has

[01:01:38] Too much yeast in their system

[01:01:40] You can tell if somebody has not enough water

[01:01:42] You know how you know alligator skin

[01:01:44] Or your face starts to dry up

[01:01:46] Your legs start to dry up

[01:01:48] You can tell if somebody has something wrong

[01:01:50] With their kidneys their skin will start to yellow

[01:01:52] Or their eyes may start to yellow

[01:01:54] You know like so you can tell

[01:01:56] What a person is has going on the

[01:01:58] On the inside just by looking at their skin

[01:02:00] And what people don't understand

[01:02:02] Foguses that's your

[01:02:04] Largest organ like we try to

[01:02:06] Be dismissive and say okay well

[01:02:08] I put my deodorant on here

[01:02:10] I put my shade butter on here

[01:02:12] I put my lotion on here

[01:02:14] I put my chapstick on here it's all connected

[01:02:16] Because your skin is one big piece

[01:02:18] Of skin and it works together that's why

[01:02:20] Sometimes if you touch something

[01:02:22] Maybe you get it on your hand

[01:02:24] And your whole arm

[01:02:26] Or have allergic reaction because

[01:02:28] It's all connected so it'll just start traveling up

[01:02:30] Your arm and up your shoulder because it's all one piece

[01:02:32] Of skin so that's why

[01:02:34] It's important like I said in doing my detox

[01:02:36] When my doctor

[01:02:38] Shout out to her she's an African American female

[01:02:40] Doctor she was

[01:02:42] Explaining to me you need to switch up

[01:02:44] All of your products and I almost had a fit

[01:02:46] When she told me that you know but I was more

[01:02:48] Sick and I was like I'm willing to do

[01:02:50] Anything at this point so I switched to

[01:02:52] Dr. Bronner soap I switched to

[01:02:54] Castile soap I switched to a soap

[01:02:56] That I could actually eat if I

[01:02:58] And I wouldn't die you know like and I mean

[01:03:00] That like I wouldn't eat soap but if I swallowed

[01:03:02] It wouldn't kill me because it didn't have any formaldehyde

[01:03:04] And it didn't have any perfumes and

[01:03:06] It didn't have any you know it was made out

[01:03:08] Of cocoa butter and castor oil you know

[01:03:10] So it's like or olive oil

[01:03:12] You know things like the shea

[01:03:14] Butter you know you can cook with shea butter

[01:03:16] You can cook with coconut oil you can cook with castor

[01:03:18] Oil like these are things you could cook with

[01:03:20] And when I finally

[01:03:22] Got it and it clicked I was like

[01:03:24] Wow this is crazy like the whole time

[01:03:26] I've been putting all these different

[01:03:28] Soaps you know

[01:03:30] And I said it before if you flip a box

[01:03:32] Over and you don't know what all this is on

[01:03:34] The back you probably don't need to put it on

[01:03:36] You probably don't but we just

[01:03:38] Eat it or need to eat it

[01:03:40] Oh we don't need it but we're so lazy

[01:03:42] We would trust another man

[01:03:44] Or woman who don't even know us

[01:03:46] To feed us

[01:03:48] We trust another man or woman who

[01:03:50] They're not even in our house or in our shower

[01:03:52] To give us the soap to wash with

[01:03:54] And so as humans

[01:03:56] That's why I said we gotta stop blaming God

[01:03:58] When we get cancer you gotta stop doing that

[01:04:00] Like history shows like maybe

[01:04:02] My whole family has been using zest

[01:04:04] I'm only saying that because they got

[01:04:06] Thou matterhide in there so

[01:04:08] Maybe my whole family has been using

[01:04:10] A certain lotion for years

[01:04:12] My whole family is using the same product

[01:04:14] With the same toxin

[01:04:16] So now when I have a baby

[01:04:18] Who's allergic to something

[01:04:20] I don't get to blame God

[01:04:22] I get to blame myself because I'm like

[01:04:24] What have we been doing? Same thing with food

[01:04:26] And African Americans like if I'm eating

[01:04:28] Pick, feed, hog, muck, fried chicken

[01:04:30] And we've been doing this for 30 years

[01:04:32] And now my grandbaby got high cholesterol

[01:04:34] And I don't know why

[01:04:36] No you know why stop blaming the devil

[01:04:38] Don't do that we need to take a look at

[01:04:40] What we been doing for 30 years

[01:04:42] Oh we been feeding ourselves fat and grease

[01:04:44] For 30 years that's why we have a problem

[01:04:46] Breathing yes

[01:04:48] Don't blame God because God didn't make fried chicken

[01:04:50] You know what I'm saying

[01:04:52] So it is what it is

[01:04:54] But being a vegan is a good thing to do

[01:04:56] And here's the thing it's hard for everybody

[01:04:58] But if you ever get sick enough

[01:05:00] Shout out like I said to everybody who

[01:05:02] Just went vegan because they love the animals

[01:05:04] You know I actually walked into it

[01:05:06] Because I was sick sick

[01:05:08] And I was going in and out of the hospital

[01:05:10] And had to do a reset

[01:05:12] And then when we did the reset

[01:05:14] And this is the beautiful thing about the body

[01:05:16] When you give it what God made

[01:05:18] It actually course corrects

[01:05:20] It's like thank you

[01:05:22] I just wanted you to give me what I needed

[01:05:24] So I can grow and get the toxins out

[01:05:26] And actually give you the nutrients you need

[01:05:28] You know for your blood

[01:05:30] But you know what I'm saying so it's like

[01:05:32] Once you do that, like you said

[01:05:34] You feel better, you feel lighter

[01:05:36] And you feel like you're gonna get your blood

[01:05:38] And you feel better

[01:05:40] And then you have the blood that

[01:05:42] Gets out of the blood

[01:05:44] And you feel better

[01:05:46] And so it's like, yeah

[01:05:48] Whatever you are what you eat

[01:05:50] And on my rant you do have

[01:05:52] Some great restaurants that are black

[01:05:54] Owned in America

[01:05:56] Belmont Vegetarian Restaurant

[01:05:58] In Massachusetts

[01:06:00] New Vegan in Washington DC

[01:06:32] Now have, you know like you said

[01:06:34] Green sweet potatoes, macaroni cheese

[01:06:36] Bread, chicken

[01:06:38] I'm upset now too, now guys

[01:06:40] You ain't say none

[01:06:42] Cause you ain't say none about Ohio

[01:06:44] Ohio didn't make that list

[01:06:46] I ain't got nowhere in Ohio

[01:06:48] I ain't got one so that's what I'm trying to say

[01:06:50] I'm upset

[01:06:52] Come on now

[01:06:54] Come on now, y'all gotta be here and rest

[01:06:56] Y'all got everything over there

[01:06:58] I've been over there

[01:07:00] We got markets where we can go market

[01:07:02] So don't get the twisted

[01:07:04] You're right, now I just walked in my market

[01:07:06] That me and my wife go to

[01:07:08] We ain't never picked up a thing

[01:07:10] Y'all got everything

[01:07:12] Y'all had everything

[01:07:14] I had little spiral garlics

[01:07:16] Japanese yams

[01:07:18] Y'all got everything

[01:07:20] So I know there has to be one restaurant

[01:07:22] Making all that food somewhere

[01:07:24] I couldn't tell you

[01:07:26] Hold it, hold it

[01:07:28] We gotta go to a quick break

[01:07:30] We just highlighted some black trailblazers

[01:07:32] We're talking about a CEO

[01:07:34] Of a slutty vegan pinkie cold

[01:07:36] And just eating a vegan diet

[01:07:38] So keep it locked cause some of y'all need to be

[01:07:40] More healthy, you tune into the fix

[01:07:42] And the fix is in

[01:07:44] And we back, DJ Focus, Dice Gamble

[01:07:46] In the middle of this real talk conversation

[01:07:48] We just continued to highlight

[01:07:50] Some movies and shakers and trailblazers

[01:07:52] From our black community

[01:07:54] Our culture

[01:07:56] Listen, shout out to everybody who's trying to eat a little bit better

[01:07:58] Maybe you need to go on a vegan diet

[01:08:00] We're talking about

[01:08:02] The success of Pinkie Cold

[01:08:04] The owner CEO of Slutty Vegan

[01:08:06] And Dice, I was telling you off air

[01:08:08] My wife was really selling me

[01:08:10] On the go on in this place

[01:08:12] And I wasn't really for her

[01:08:14] She showed me, she went to the social media page

[01:08:16] And she showed me how people

[01:08:18] Were standing in line and why they were standing in line

[01:08:20] The entire crew from

[01:08:22] You know, the slutty vegan

[01:08:24] Was out there entertaining and taking orders

[01:08:26] All in the same way

[01:08:28] So that was kind of cool to me

[01:08:30] Pinkie realizing

[01:08:32] The impact that social media can have

[01:08:34] On influencing people

[01:08:36] To come to her restaurant

[01:08:38] Again, shout out to everybody

[01:08:40] That really understands what social media was actually made for

[01:08:42] It actually was made for

[01:08:44] To market your brand

[01:08:46] Market your businesses

[01:08:48] Not a lot of the other foodies we do on there

[01:08:50] So that right there sold me

[01:08:52] I was like, alright, alright, I go

[01:08:54] I told my wife, alright, you got me

[01:08:56] Cause she was like, come on, come on, I've been trying to go

[01:08:58] We here, we here four days

[01:09:00] You want to eat, I want to go somewhere

[01:09:02] Eat what I want to eat

[01:09:04] We wouldn't try it and again

[01:09:06] Like I say, it was amazing

[01:09:08] But again, using that social media

[01:09:10] As a presence to promote the business

[01:09:12] That was a selling point for me

[01:09:14] For me to even go so shout out to Pinkie

[01:09:16] And like I said, other CEOs

[01:09:18] Need to take advantage of social media

[01:09:20] And not some of the other ways that our culture do

[01:09:22] And it got me eating healthy

[01:09:24] For a day, I did it for a day

[01:09:26] Dice, I didn't say I did it all

[01:09:28] But I did it for a day

[01:09:30] I didn't even feel right eating nothing different after that

[01:09:32] Dice, I be honest with you, I ate that meal

[01:09:34] And I was like, I was, I felt convicted

[01:09:36] I wanted pizza later that night

[01:09:38] I was like, I ain't gonna get it

[01:09:40] I'm at least doing the right thing for this day

[01:09:45] Yeah, no

[01:09:49] Like I said, you have a lot of people

[01:09:51] Who realize that

[01:09:53] People like to be entertained

[01:09:55] Before my brother

[01:09:57] Who I was in comm unit with

[01:09:59] You know, the group that I used to be in

[01:10:01] In Georgia, he's

[01:10:03] In California, there was

[01:10:05] A truck idea

[01:10:07] That he had had for

[01:10:09] You know

[01:10:11] Us in California

[01:10:13] And then obviously this went

[01:10:15] You know, kind of sideways

[01:10:17] But same concept outside

[01:10:19] Different artists perform, having music

[01:10:21] It's pretty much just a mobile restaurant

[01:10:23] Same, you know, vegan food

[01:10:25] I had actually come up with a menu

[01:10:27] Focus on the whole nine

[01:10:29] I was supposed to be in Europe for 12 weeks

[01:10:31] In 2020, right before Covid happened

[01:10:33] To

[01:10:35] Go to chef school turns out

[01:10:37] And then boom that got snatched

[01:10:39] Away from me but

[01:10:41] There's a huge market for it

[01:10:43] Huge market for it

[01:10:45] Even now for vegan food

[01:10:47] Honestly, if these regular restaurants

[01:10:49] Would put more

[01:10:51] I can't say more vegan food on their menu

[01:10:53] But if you would add a few things

[01:10:55] To your menu, you would get more clientele

[01:10:57] Because everybody just doesn't eat the same anymore

[01:10:59] People are

[01:11:01] More aware of their health, you know

[01:11:03] That's why a slutty vegan is blowing up

[01:11:05] Because the older generation loves it

[01:11:07] Younger generation loves it

[01:11:09] And who doesn't love to be entertained

[01:11:11] While you're waiting on your food

[01:11:13] Yeah, that's real

[01:11:15] So, I think the world is changing

[01:11:17] In 2030, we have a lot of the green summits

[01:11:19] That kick in and

[01:11:21] For those of you who are not paying attention

[01:11:23] I may have to do a little report on the news

[01:11:25] About it just to keep you in the loop

[01:11:27] The goal is to get more people to have

[01:11:29] Urban gardens in their

[01:11:31] Space and I've been saying

[01:11:33] On the show quite often

[01:11:35] Like, y'all gonna have to start growing your food

[01:11:37] I mean I'm saying that but I'm saying it

[01:11:39] Because that is the goal

[01:11:41] China is leading and we get half of our food

[01:11:43] We do not know, so imagine if our relationship

[01:11:45] With China breaks

[01:11:47] Okay, so

[01:11:50] I'm just saying

[01:11:52] Over half of our food

[01:11:54] We do not grow here

[01:11:56] We exchange our grains and things like that

[01:11:58] But yeah, so you talk about

[01:12:00] When you're missing your strawberries and your blueberries

[01:12:02] You know, you're gonna be like, hmm

[01:12:04] I guess I gotta go grow mine, yeah

[01:12:06] I guess you do

[01:12:08] So we have to wake up as a community

[01:12:10] Understand, yes

[01:12:12] One, veganism, it's good for you

[01:12:14] It's really good for you

[01:12:16] And two, you should want to have more food

[01:12:18] On your plate, more food in your refrigerator

[01:12:20] More food in your kitchen that is living

[01:12:22] For your health benefit

[01:12:24] But also, you know

[01:12:26] One day you might actually have to have a vegan diet

[01:12:28] It might not even be the, it's your choice

[01:12:30] It might be that, you know

[01:12:32] The emissions and now we don't have

[01:12:34] Enough cows because, you know

[01:12:36] We gotta cut back on cows

[01:12:38] You know what I'm saying? This is a real

[01:12:40] Issue, so these guys that are doing

[01:12:42] The restaurants like a pinky and all that

[01:12:44] They're ahead of the game right now, they're like, yep

[01:12:46] I'm gonna go ahead and set up shop

[01:12:48] And give me a couple locations because one day

[01:12:50] You might have to eat here

[01:12:52] It might not even be an option if you want a steak

[01:12:54] It might be your $2,200 steak

[01:12:56] Instead of 20

[01:12:58] So

[01:13:00] That's real, yeah

[01:13:02] I think too as well

[01:13:04] Also too as well something you had

[01:13:06] You need to do when you talk about

[01:13:08] Eating more plant based

[01:13:10] Or just more vegetables and fruit

[01:13:12] Listen, produce is it

[01:13:14] It seems like produce is expensive diet

[01:13:16] Price can go on up, don't it?

[01:13:18] Yeah, it doesn't seem like the price can go on up

[01:13:20] I promise you, me and my wife just wouldn't got some stuff

[01:13:22] And we like, we spent $60

[01:13:24] We had two bags

[01:13:26] And they want a steak, a piece of chicken

[01:13:28] Or a piece of fish in there

[01:13:30] Oh yeah

[01:13:32] It's because people are not invested in their own

[01:13:34] Think about this, think about how many

[01:13:36] People in the world eat every, okay let's just say

[01:13:38] 8 billion people, let's just

[01:13:40] Put a number on it

[01:13:42] 8 billion people, they're either eating

[01:13:44] 1 to 6 meals a day

[01:13:46] How many of those people are farmers

[01:13:48] Or are growing their food, how many

[01:13:50] Yeah, that's real

[01:13:52] So yeah, if I'm a farmer and I'm out here all day

[01:13:54] Slaven away

[01:13:56] Tilling the soil and the land

[01:13:58] And I gotta pay all these taxes

[01:14:00] Cause y'all playing games with me about picking my food up

[01:14:02] And taking it to the grocery stores

[01:14:04] Yes, I gotta upcharge you now

[01:14:06] Because I'm out here and they're getting older too

[01:14:08] Because you don't have a lot of people, young farmers

[01:14:10] You know

[01:14:12] You just don't

[01:14:14] So shout out to all the farmers who are getting into the game

[01:14:16] Obviously we did the research

[01:14:18] We want a farm, we research

[01:14:20] We can get about 400k

[01:14:22] To get a farm in Georgia

[01:14:24] But 400k

[01:14:26] And you having a farm, that's not a lot of money

[01:14:28] No it's not

[01:14:30] It's not a lot of money

[01:14:32] You know by the time we flip that and turn that

[01:14:34] Every, yeah, all that fruit, vegetable, everything we sell

[01:14:36] We're gonna have to charge a decent price

[01:14:38] To even get half of our

[01:14:40] Money's back in

[01:14:42] We won't make any money that first year

[01:14:44] So yeah, as farmers

[01:14:46] They're gonna have, you have to charge

[01:14:48] And then everything else like I said is getting shipped from

[01:14:50] Another country

[01:14:52] So we, as people here in America

[01:14:54] Need to learn to grow our food

[01:14:56] Even if you're just doing peppers

[01:14:58] Tomatoes and greens

[01:15:00] Something simple and easy

[01:15:02] You can grow in the house

[01:15:04] They even have little grow boxes

[01:15:06] You can put them in your garage

[01:15:08] And just grow what you need to grow

[01:15:10] And then like you said focus

[01:15:12] I don't have to spend $60 on the basics

[01:15:14] Lettuce and kale, I got lettuce and kale at home

[01:15:16] You know what I'm saying? Lettuce and kale grow on my limeru upstairs

[01:15:18] So it's like, yeah I don't have to spend money on that

[01:15:20] Now if I want, you know

[01:15:22] I want some shrimp, I know I ain't going boating

[01:15:24] Okay

[01:15:26] I ain't going out here and getting no shrimp

[01:15:28] Okay, and for that

[01:15:30] Hey, let's see, you know what

[01:15:32] I actually thought about that

[01:15:34] I would actually want to do that

[01:15:36] That would probably be one of the most adventurous things I would want to do

[01:15:38] Like go out there

[01:15:40] Or one of those big fish boats

[01:15:42] Whatever, just like on one of those big fish boats

[01:15:44] Whether it be, you know, lobster

[01:15:46] Whether it be shrimp, whether it be fish, crab

[01:15:48] It didn't matter, like just to see that net

[01:15:50] That net with all that

[01:15:52] You know what I'm saying

[01:15:54] Oh my goodness

[01:15:56] I can hear the grease

[01:15:58] The grease frying in my house

[01:16:00] Yeah, shout out to the extra version

[01:16:02] Violet, the extra version

[01:16:04] Oh, yeah

[01:16:06] Olive oil, right? I feel that

[01:16:08] We saw saying something

[01:16:10] Whatever they gave

[01:16:12] I feel that though

[01:16:14] That's what I said, yes

[01:16:16] So we need to start growing stuff at home

[01:16:18] And I think we need to add more vegetables to our plate

[01:16:20] So yeah, shout out to all the

[01:16:22] Gravita restaurants out here

[01:16:24] Yep

[01:16:26] Listen, that's it for our RealReal

[01:16:28] We gotta go to a break, but don't touch that down

[01:16:30] We're coming right back with more

[01:17:06] Take my thoughts and give me yours

[01:17:08] Who is wiser than you?
