So I got a couple of people who I respect so much my my folks is in here my man, Wano Was good. It was good. What's up, y'all, man? And Nila is here. I don't I can't see it. Can you hear I can hear and see you Okay, I can see Nila too. All right, it must be my Wi-Fi then but um, have y'all seen Schultz's special Yeah, I saw it You so what'd you think I did I need your your honest opinion. Um Well, I only watched I think it was I don't is it an episode I watched like the first episode of it and then um, I didn't go into anything else But it was the kind of like the same shit he does on YouTube like I thought it was pretty cool But I'll tell you I like that when he talks about a bunch of various topics It seemed a little bit different than the YouTube one I don't know if how they recorded it and that but like it's pretty much the same thing he does on YouTube But I thought it was dope. Yeah, just longer Nila Nila ain't seen nothing now what what do you Oh, you don't support white people Well, listen the reason I wanted y'all here today, I mean for a number of reasons a bunch of things that we can talk about But um, I was really thinking about like People's hip hop list, you know, I'm saying like this is the end of the year where you know Everybody comes out with their best albums of the year list or their best artists of the year and you know our good brother B dot um the B stands for bias He put out he put out his list. I don't have his list in front of me right now Anybody got his list? Yeah And the thing I'm not upset at B dodge list Now B dot is one of those people that I literally talk to every day because because of the because of the group chat And I'm not mad at B dodge list because it's his list But there's one thing I want all of us To start doing when we make our list Just say that this is our favorite albums of the year or say that this is our Favorite artists of the year. I think when you cast blanket statements and you say this is the best album of the year Or this is the best artist of the year. That's where the problems come in personally, okay, there So so b dot put uh mvp 10 best rappers of 2020 freddy gibbs number one Conway the machine number two Benny the butcher number three rust number four big Sean number five little baby number six Nas number seven drake number eight little Wayne number nine stove god cook number 10 His criteria is based on skill performance in presence. Nyla. What do you think I'll start with you? um Yeah, the fact that he got little baby at number six is disrespectful when little baby's easily top three and not three And not two either. I really don't like the fact that he got Conway the machine as number two It doesn't even make any sense Based on skill performance and presence I don't really understand. I guess performance and presence for half of these artists and I never even heard of I never even heard I see you never heard I'm I started listening first. I'm like this this can't be right because it's artists on here. I never even heard of um, I am happy that rust is on there that's fair drake All right Wayne Let's talk about Wayne actually No, no, because I really love little Wayne little Wayne's a goat But the rest of Wayne verse that I heard from him in years years Is the verse that he did with freddy gibbs like the feature he gave jack harlow was trash He's been giving out mad trash features. So the fact that Wayne is on this top 10 lists, I mean, I guess I think a lot of this is just out of respect because Those are his friends and he grew Wayne oh, what do you think my brother? So all right, so the list I'm not mad other than stove. I've been hearing I heard about stove god prior to him being on the list Like somebody sent me his project. I still haven't got a chance to listen to it But I respect everybody that's on this list now My biggest problem would be that on this list is where little baby is at. I think like foot like in 2020 For you to have little baby six or when anything I'm talking about anything regarding music right now, especially rap Is ridiculous. I think that freddy gibbs. That's a good place. I think that all these people deserve Well, I don't know if they deserve the certain spaces, but like conway. I feel like conway Yeah, as far as skill, he's one of the best But like nyla said performance and presence and when we was on clubhouse I kept saying that to be that like What do you mean about performance and presence because if we talking about presence little baby has The biggest presence in hip-hop Like I feel like he said presence was relevancy. That's what he told me That's what I'm saying relevancy like and so this is my problem that I have where you know, I feel like New york gets this cloud that we don't love or respect the south specifically at lana and that's bullshit. Like I love Y'all don't respect nothing except new york That's bullshit because I've been in a bubble way before corona It has but I will tell you for myself I'm a person who has my family's from fanville, north carolina I got cousins that live all on a lander The foot for where I found out about three six my field was my home girl had cousins in Memphis used to come back with the tapes So when I see little baby in a space like that, I'm like nah, yeah, niggas is bugging I felt like little baby should have been nominated for a Grammy only because That would make other people who are biased give him his respect as a rapper because he has the best rap album to me I feel like he has the best rapping album because it covers everything um Now I feel like little wane shouldn't be on the list. I I feel like certain artists like I feel like Drake shouldn't be on the list and that's not not no slight the Drake But I feel like Drake took a year Honestly, even him dropping that tape the nigga took a year off. He still took a year off Demo is just really not a great tape like it's not It's not but I just feel like like him I feel like nah shouldn't be I feel like if we're gonna make these lists These lists should be for what's current Which not just young, you know, I mean because I don't want to exclude the niggas as older But like it should be what's coming across the board and I feel like Freddie give should be on there. I even feel like rush should be on there I feel like Conway. Yeah, because he dropped a great album But it's little Dirk should be on this list polo G should be on this list You know I'm saying I feel like polo G is one of the most slept on young niggas out here You know, I mean like he should be on this list.   Dot if it's just based on skill just rapping Totally understand everybody that's on that list But when you talk about presence and you tell me that presence means Relevancy there's no way you can have a 2020 list without the baby There's no way. Yes. There's no way you can have a 2020 list without make the stallion Right, there's no way you can have a 2020 list where like you said low baby Is anything other than in the top two and there's no way you can have a 2020 list without roddy rich That's impossible. It's impossible if it's based on skill performance in presence If you're being objective now, like I said, if it's your favorite list Your list is gonna look like b. Dot. I would like for b. Dot to explain him. So based off of his You know measurements because performance wise like what performance did drake wane um Stove god, I still don't even know who he is like what performance did they do like max performances was everywhere her youtube stuff The bet performance the graduation stuff like there's artists out here really being creative And they didn't even make the list Well, he's not even talking about that kind of performance.  He dropped this album He dropped his album because the box was hot for months prior The box was like one of the biggest record to me It's still the biggest record of 2020 But it's like because the pandemic happened people forgot that roddy rich actually dropped the great body of work It performed it but he not he not saying it like that, but it performed very well It was everywhere. He had one of the biggest records. He had one of the biggest presents Shit not even the box. What's the other drink? Um Ballin With with dj muster even though it's dj muster's record. That should still held 2020 down So it's like how does roddy rich not make a record and I feel like I will not make a listen I feel like a lot of people will put him to the side because he dropped this album the first week of december That makes no sense to me. Why is b-dots criteria different than all award shows every award show if your album comes out in december they will Uh reward you the very like the next year Like because it's a cutoff day right? It's a cutoff day with the baby Actually roddy rich's album won't be eligible until the next grammy's if i'm not mistaken That's crazy because look but think about this, right? I mean just growing up every year when jz dropped in december Shit everybody wrote his album into the next summer like absolutely Like his his album came out in the in the fourth quarter to hold down the next year until the next fourth quarter So I just don't get how hit roddy rich is not considered for anything Compared to when jz well not that jz still not dropping out but compared to back then we processed music so much faster Not only just music though. We passed. We processed news. We processed Like just everything so much faster.  Yeah, he is They was already getting at him about that already. So, you know It's definitely gonna happen But but I don't want to pick apart be that's what I want to ask y'all is because I don't have best artists I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't have favorite artists of 2020. I just do albums.  Hmm um I say I started off a little babies album my turn um 21 savage, you know, uh Same savage mode two same. Yeah, savage mode two.  I think the the baby did better on a deluxe. I like little uzi's deluxe as the The uh eternal take deluxe. I like the deluxe more than I like the actual eternal take um Him And see that's the other thing too. A lot of those albums you polo g. I haven't listened to Go uzi. I haven't listened to somebody a little dirt. I didn't hear a little dirks album Right, how you hear these out shall I mean? I'm saying I haven't even heard these projects But that's why that's another thing too. How can you really give an objective opinion about these albums? And say what is the best if you didn't listen to everything you'd have to listen to everything to give that opinion I know beat that ain't listen to all of them Well, he says and I quote I listen to more rap music than the average person. So He lives and dies from what decade Also, I got it the conways album too conways album from king to god The album is hard like I feel like the album is really hard. Um, it's a lot You know, it's crazy. It's hard for me to even remember how many albums come out because so many come out so fast Like I I really be having to look back like oh that was this year Yeah For me, I really really loved number one little baby album. I love cash page album I loved uh coilo rays mixtape. I loved spillage village love that project. Um, I love I like smenos. She already decided mixtape Uh, what else did I listen to a lot? I don't know once I pick my faves. I just kind of keep them in rotation type thing Yeah, I see what I'm saying like once again. I listen to spillage village because of nila. They dope. No, that's And spillage village. Yeah They dope But I didn't hear a lot of those projects that she named and that's what that goes back to what I said We got to stop saying what we Are generalizing and this is the best and just say this is my favorite. These are my top I gotta I can't leave without mentioning. We we can't leave it out. Meet the meet the wu two is my favorite Yeah But pop smoke and I feel like pop smoke, you know, unfortunately He passed away, but I told I said is to be that too like I don't think there's no list You could put out and deny his presence even with him leave him being gone Like his presence is everywhere to where you see in kids in africa. We're walking You know what I'm saying? So Every guy in girl went and got the braids Like The pop braids The pop smoke braids And he's sold a lot of records. Yeah weakens album too. I think he gives out Like selling records just the fact that like he passed away in the controversy on his album artwork Like the fact that it was like a general population involved in the process of his album being done like says a lot Just pop this pop smoke Is that album is successful if if he doesn't tragically get killed if it's still a successful As it was I don't I honestly I don't think it is I I I not think to me he was my favorite new artist. I don't think it is Of course deaf brings more attention to whatever's going on, you know King vaughn passed away and got a million followers the next week. You know what I'm saying after he passed JD said it's the best Get better promotion get better promotion But um I don't think it performs the same way, but I it is what it is and I just can't negate the influence And people might get at me for saying this but I feel like for the kids in new york, that's this generation is big I feel like The impact that he had like the impact biggie died when I was like 13 going on 14 And that was everything to us in the parties Summertime cookouts everything and I feel like pop smokes presence for these kids of today is the same as biggie's was I think album sales wise maybe it wouldn't have been as successful But for him it it just would have been like another pinnacle Like he would have kept brawn because he was definitely next to blow Yeah, I mean he was doing a lot of stuff. He started in that um at that eddy hung movie charity Yeah, like he was getting all the Yeah Eddie hung movie boogie that's coming out, you know pop smoke starting that I got I got a roll in that too That's I mean that's the only reason I knew he was in it because when I shot for it like a while ago He was he was what you roll you acting that strong Yeah, who you playing?  I don't I don't want to give it away. I don't want to give it away. I'm not playing myself though I'll tell you that the movie is about basketball. You're not mistaken Well, no, no, what can you see shall be doing with basketball? I'm definitely not a player. I'm definitely not a player, but you can be a bird You can get a little birdie roll off.   Like, um, they haven't had that in a while Like like cardi might have been the last one. Um, probably nicky before her, but let's be real They don't get behind women the way they don't I feel like new york can't get behind him neither and I feel like I feel like Boogie was a champion for us, but I feel like as far as the city They didn't get behind him the way he should like, you know It wasn't a movement You know, I mean that whole woo thing and every like it's a movement. I don't know I don't know.  It felt like a movement to me But it wasn't it wasn't I say as impactful as pop smoke because like I said people was trying to dress like pop talk like pop You know do everything he had the full effects It's actually woo Wednesday right now too, you know Really? Yeah, no, that's what the kids that's what the meme kids call it every day They call every Wednesday. They call it woo Wednesday.  I thought that project was dope Royce the 5 9 allegory Little baby my turn and y'all motherfuckers really sleeping on the city girl city on Okay, I'm telling you right now If the if the streets was open and it wasn't a pandemic the city girls would be the hottest Rap group period and the hottest female rappers out I'm gonna talk about big Sean diamond. I gotta talk about city girls. So city girls project. Yes was good But in and it still didn't well even though we're in a pandemic one and then two It's something about when the city girls come on in the club. It's like the whole energy shifts Like everyone who wasn't dancing starts dancing. It's it's crazy.  They were against the rap, right?  City girls music is definitely It's definitely like made for outside and outside only like you you have to experience it Like you have to experience it. I do agree like like when a music come on It does make like the lady that's she's trying to pass the bar test. She's gonna be acting up that night She's gonna be going on And I feel sorry for them because they didn't get to experience that like jt just came home So she ain't get the experience being on the road Tarn she ain't get to experience hearing her records in the club in that way Because they had some joints on city on lock that would have went off this So They should got like they should got a leak too though Remember like they should have got leaked like a like a week early or like a few days early So that hurt them a little bit as well. I don't believe about leaking in 2020. How does something leak in 2020 now? They put that Somebody forced that somebody somebody in the team put that out. I think so Maybe maybe but getting back to big Sean's album because people are saying that this is big Sean's best album Do you think this is big Sean's best album? No, no, it's not his best album. It's good though. It's really good, but it's not his best It's good, but yes, what would y'all say is his best album because to me I feel like this album I feel like big Sean makes the same type of albums every album His best album to me was the one that had a biggie than me on there What was that dog side? Dog side paradise. Yeah outside paradise. That's that's to me. That's the best body of work It is I think that's his best body of work. I think it's his most honest body of work as well I feel like One thing about his music is definitely always honest like this project is very honest also I like where he's at You know, I can grown.  I feel like big Sean still doesn't have his like force. He'll drive or his championship interest Hmm Yeah, I don't I don't well. I think dog dog side paradise. I think that that was like the close To me, that was kind of receipt.  We got to accept that as well You know, I mean Even when we say that way, though, what do we mean when we say that because I think sometimes you got to appreciate where you are You know what I mean? I think sometimes you look at drake You look at Kendrick you look at Cole and you say I want that kind of success But that may not be the success that that that's destined for you But what's wrong with being big Sean? What's wrong with being yla consistently gold artists? Nothing's nothing wrong at all. I'm just saying it's like when we think about a moment I think it's a lot of factors that leads into Meeks championships. There's a lot of things that leads into drinks. Take care. It's a lot of things that leads into Kendrick's um Damn or even a good kid mad city.   He's dangerous. He's a long time.  Absolutely, you know what I'm saying?  Yeah Cole got rings, but I mean I don't call one of the greatest He's one of the things I don't put him on the level of Drake and Kendrick I don't even put Drake on the level of Kendrick, but You don't put you don't put Cole on it You don't put Cole on the level of Drake and Kendrick. Why not? Not not skill wise Like his music you had to listen Cole's dope Now Cole could rap Cole could rap Cole is amazing. I just think like and I'm not saying anything I'm not taking anything away from him. He's a hall of fame all star All I'm simply saying is it's a difference between what a Kendrick does And what everybody else does to me But guess what some people may say that about Drake Some people might put Drake the way I hold Kendrick and say everybody else is after him But my point was saying that is those two guys are such goats that they make everybody else look almost normal You know what I mean? I get what you're going on Charles Barkley looks normal compared to a micro jordan It's hard to say. I ain't a lot.  Yeah The last year so but but if you think about that right think about all of the great players that are first Ballot hall of famous who never got rings because Michael Jordan existed in that era. Yeah Let's talk about Scottie Pippin Scottie Pippin is absolutely positively a top 50 greatest player of all time He's incredible Michael Jordan probably doesn't do what he does without Scottie Pippin Scottie Pippin don't even get his just do because he played next to the greatest of all time And I think guys like big Sean suffer from Being in that era when you gotta play with Drake's and the Cole's and the Kendrick's That's all it don't make it don't make Sean away a while a any less whack. I mean any less dope They're dope. They're not wack at all. Yeah, why late like Like what Nyla said like a while a while is so special and I feel like a lot of times His him being so passionate comes off.  Yo, it's disgusting. Like while he is one I think he's one of the best drop the EP this year too. That was tough Right on time. It was on point about like the um police brutality.  You're right. You're right. You're right. You know, I mean Drake doesn't have a great atmosphere with it But he's from that class for sure.  Okay.

I feel like he's overrated a lot of shit I do I really believe In reason flame So so this is a thing like I don't like all right I understand that it's a whole class of emo kids that like Was in a dark place and all that shit and his music means the best to them and For for the first man on the moon like when that shit came out that shit was hard Like I was sleeping on him then I feel like it's a classic and all that but as far as his skill set and all of that after they I think that he gets I'll like I think he'd get a lot of credit for shit that I don't know man I just don't think he's as good as people make him out to be and he's talented I'm not saying the nigga not talented But I just feel like they be putting him on this pedestal that I don't think he's on me personally I don't I don't I don't think it has to do with his skill set though I think I think it's for what you just said it's the way he makes people feel like he provides the soundtrack And you know for those emotions that a lot of people may be going through you know what I mean Yeah, I mean that's that's cool. But like when we talking about we we compare like this is the thing man We compare people based on how good they are that's just what we debate about like we We compare people based on is this nigga better than him or is he as good as him? You know what I'm saying? Unfortunately people get wrapped up into Shit like you just said with Big Sean But I feel like with Cuddy I feel like he's good But I feel like a lot of the shit that the way that they perceive him to be like to me It's just not the same for me and it just might be That's not like you miss the curb. Sometimes you just miss the feeling that somebody get Like how people love Travis Scott and the whole rodeo thing. I missed it.  That was everything and I wasn't See, I wasn't I wasn't an emo kid, but I felt it I fussed with him But now in recent years it's kind of like how I said earlier with Wayne like Wayne drop. It's like all right like okay Like I understand what he built but like when Cuddy dropped his first album I was like 26 and I'm saying when he dropped his first album like It's it was it was great that album his first album is great I'm just talking about like everything post that Is not and I'm not just saying it have to be that in order for him to be good I'm just saying like the way that people be praising him is like this god of whatever I don't Like I don't consider him even though he's in that time frame. I don't consider his competitions like cold drape Sean and them I don't even I mean that That's the thing. I don't think you compare Cuddy to nobody like I understand what wayno's saying But I don't think people look at Cuddy and hold him in that high regard because of his Skill set. I really think it's because of what he talks about What's the content of his music and the way he makes people feel? You know what I mean? Like when somebody gives you that soundtrack to whatever it is You may be going through man. You love them in a different way Like Not the greatest singer in the world, but man, he provided the soundtrack for heartbreak I did I was riding the man on the moon too, and I've been kind of depressed the past couple days too So when I was listening to the man on the moon yesterday, I was loving it that beautiful trip The shit tequila shots. I'm a tequila drinker. I had some tequila last night The city got on it called damaged. I like I like I like the vibe of it Or because that makes a difference too. That makes my heart That makes a difference. I was over. I was over Look, so All right Around this time when Cuddy dropped this first album I was totally against that whole like I didn't understand traumas and depression.   Yeah, right.   I'd be depressed over. I'm gonna listen to jeezy before I listen to jeezy has got me sometimes You feel me like jeezy got my man my man my man is in is in the feds and I'm doing whatever I can and put a couple dollars on his books. That's that's my depression how I've dealt with it So I I get where Cuddy comes from but how is delivered for me is not the same I'm actually not mad at that statement at all. You know, there's different types of ways that people want to go about handling things I feel like, you know, shaman's very evolved You know when it comes to like Like that, so we don't mind putting on a Cuddy and connecting Whereas I feel like the average black man is going to do the same thing.  It's like more of a facing it Where Other artists is more of a just making you feel better like keep it pushing But I I mean I I do think that um I think Cuddy's one of those people who don't get his his his his fly was the way he should I think he does from the general public The general he does from the general public they love him like I got I mean in the game like in media and all that shit in the media like like they should He should be on that three headed monster, right when you talk about Cole I mean he was in one but you gotta remember like so when we talk about Cole Kendrick and Drake think about the consistency And in their runs, I think that's Uh-huh But yeah, but remember cutting at that time too, he also was very vocal about his um Problems that he was facing with drugs and all of that while he wasn't so as so focused on on music It's just oppression. So like I ain't knocking him at all I think that the niggas one of the most talented dudes that would do it But at the same time I I think that it goes into the run you have because end of the day bro niggas just want music You know now we start getting into people's lives and all that but we really just want the music So it's like when we say all right, he did this one and it's spaced out in between there man Then he does another one Three hot album every 10 year average ain't you know what I'm saying I'm with you.  None of that Kendrick is giving y'all these albums And that's it. But every time he dropped he never dropped something that make niggas say oh, nah, I ain't like Every album that he's dropped has done something like you remember that time Every time that he's put out an album you remember exactly where you were where you heard it How it was affecting people at the shows how it was infected in the media like every time and he's four for four if you ask me He's four for four in the pimple butterfly is the second best album of the last decade And the first was my beautiful dark twisted fantasy about kanya.   No, no pun intended, but like everything he said is still relevant today even though it's a four year old That's how butterfly is Yes, I know it's just damn just sounds better to me damn. Signically.  We'll try 100% because that was a that that was a black Anthem which we didn't get a lot of this year by the way But you thought we would have based off the year that we just had Don't don't sleep on bigger picture by little baby, man And you know I gotta mention this because we talking about black anthems. I was As a cold fan. No cold one of my favorites ever in life to do it Don't do it I was so I loved jaco. I went to st. John's because of jaco I love jaco But songs he dropped this year all disappointed me in the little Responses he did with no name even more disappointment Then I was even more disappointed in no name's response because it's like why would you disjake cold? Why wouldn't you just take that opportunity to make yourself look good and show off your skills get your your skillset and Educate the people because that's what you was complaining about them that educated Yeah, I'm not mad at koto. Um, I get what you're saying is a as a Just a fan of his his music. The reason I'm not mad at him is because he's a man at the end of the day And this is a diff this has been a difficult year for a lot of people and I think it's so easy id post like yo I'm hype thinking it's about to be something to get me through it like a high for hours Like I remember my trump won presidency. I'm feeling disappointed. Shit.  It's like, you know what?   I think that's the unfair expectations that artists have sometimes though Because like like cold might have just he might have been in a crib with the ps5 early and just wanted to chill The press like the rest of us Anxiety like the rest of us.  I don't feel like being the voice right now No, but the funny thing of all this is like when baby made bigger picture It was so many people that was going crazy or cold and kendrick like y'all let this nigga do with y'all Like they was wild and I feel like it's just a little bit of fear because while You know, they didn't make they make songs about the black plight and our struggle and everything we've gone through Every time and they get when the bat signal goes up and they don't want to put that suit on every time And that's a fact and and also to what you're saying We know and I want everybody to think about this going and going into 2021 because I already see a lot of y'all setting yourself up for failure Approach 2021 with no expectations Don't have any expectations. Don't have any expectations in people Don't have any expectations in the world. Don't have any expectations for society Just show up every day and be the best you do the best you can If you go into 2021 with that 2021 is going to be my year 2021 is going to be the best year ever 2021 is going to be better than 2020.  Just say this is going to be my best year Well, what's wrong with come on, man Like you gotta think about this shit, right?      Kendrick should be at the protest. Why? His songs are playing and guess what I want Kendrick in the studio working on the songs for this protest Because ain't nothing ain't nothing going nowhere.  I want Kendrick in the studio Charlemagne if there's never any other artists that I ever felt more hopeful about like I'd be good Like I go through shit and I'd be like, I'd be like Kendrick, please say something like I ain't going for I really be in a crib like like damn. I wish I could just hear with this nigga things right now So like when it comes to his music, that's one person that I'm I don't Exactly need him to jump in on everything that's going on but I need something from him because that You know why you feel that way because he's thoughtful Yeah, because he actually takes the time to craft Soundtracks for whatever it is that we're going through. So when somebody's that thoughtful, you gotta give them time to think They can't think if you telling them that they need to be front-line at the goddamn protest.   Okay, but um Yeah, I mean I'll go to the subject Oh, I was gonna say are you looking forward to Drake's new project? No I forgot about you wait Why not um For all the same reasons that we're the for all the same reasons we love kendrick kendrick Kendrick makes us wait kendrick gives us Something to look forward to kendrick, you know takes his time You would be interested in this lover boy tape I just don't know what what drake has given us so much music that I don't know if he has another gear You know what I'm saying like we know we know kendrick has another gear He shows us that with every project drake has given us so much. I don't know if he has another gear So therefore I'm not looking forward to anything I'm I'm looking forward to it. I just don't know That's the thing.    Are we still in the drake era? R is radio? Such such such such a prehistoric form of of medium Is radio such a prehistoric form of media that it hasn't changed the temperature to what's actually going on out here in these streets We in the little baby era Really really still love drink the same but they still really really love the migos because Though I think i'm over. I don't know if it's because I I hear all the time because of the feel that i'm in, but um What what feeling you in nila radio Now what exactly that's what I mean when I say Radio I'm a and i'm just saying i'm a radio guy nila's a radio girl All i'm simply saying is radio and we have these conversations all the time They haven't caught up to what's actually going on in the screech yet So they still haven't turned they haven't changed the temperature So it's say it still feels like we're in a drake era. I don't think we're in a drake era I don't think we've been in a drake era for the past three years And that's why I want to ask like y'all said earlier like the list you uh way No, I think you said like not shouldn't even be on there It's like are we going to get to the point where like the drakes to make the cove They shouldn't even be on there and we focus on you know the new class the little babies the um low dirks Like you saying I think I I think now is just a little bit harder for like the like before I feel like The radio is we're really complimented young up-and-coming artists. So it's like, you know now I feel like Once a artist gets to a certain place.   You know, I think that These artists have forced radio to jump into what they're doing and by the time radio gets this kind of late That's why like DSPs is such a big thing. The kids are not the kids is dictating what they want to hear I mean the DSP still kind of dictate with the playlist But like the kids can go say nah, I'm not listening that I'm gonna put this on like for me I grew up. I had to wait So like I had to wait all day to hear some of my favorite songs listening to the radio Now kids could just say this is what I want to hear at that time And I feel like the radio needs to follow a little bit with the DSPs do because that's how you Not a little bit not a little bit a lot. Yeah, I mean every week every week new song should be put in the rotation That's the fact every like literally every week. That's the fact probably every Said there's so much new music to come out and then music get hot on different platforms now Like a song could be viral on tiktok a song could be viral on twitter a song could be viral on instagram Then you got was actually hot in the club Then you got by regions like was hot in chicago was hot in atlanta It's it's so much it's so many pockets that it'll be hard do that So I think we would just have to figure out how to I don't know So nala it should be easier than ever nowadays the reason it should be easier than ever is because we have actual numbers Right, you have analytics.   They're not driving. They're not listening to the radio Well, well, I mean not that they listen in the radio, but I think that like Like here's the thing in business kids things is hot. You really want to hear baby shark?  I think that like For kids not kids dictate what where business is geared to like the kids Always dictate with the next thing to come and I feel like you know In in seats in radio and even I'm I'm in the music industry in executive seats There needs to be a more transparency with younger people You know I'm saying like when I look at when I when I look back and I see like how Irv Goddy when he had murder ink or dame dash when he had rocker fella or dny when they had rock when they had rough riders They were young guys in the game I I feel like there's not enough There's not enough people champion or they people feel like you got to reach this certain level For them to not get out they see but put you in a seat under them There's too much like there's not enough mentorship.  I'm a person of media So if I don't get that experience at that when I'm 28, I might not be in a seat. I'm at 38 You know I'm saying so I think it needs to be just a little bit more, you know While while I climb the climb the ladder I'm bringing so my question I guess would be like where were they where were the as they bringing us up Because it's only so much room. Where are they gonna go? No, it's mad. It's wild bread. It's why niggas don't want to come up off that bread. It's mad bread. Like You gotta start making well my focus charlemakers. I got some I want to add to that I just want to I just think like, you know, there's all of these seats, right? Or all of these positions that were made 50 years ago and it's still the same seats and it's still you gotta start making new positions You gotta start coming up with shit because Nyla You're I met you coming up going to the radio station, right?   No, you're not just a dj. You know I'm saying like for me I do media, but I'm also a music executive at a at a major label There's not one name for that.  Angie not going nowhere. Chloe not going nowhere. All right, let me think Nobody's using their instagram. Hey, uh, do you mind if I every wednesday I do an interview on your instagram live? Okay, cool And that's that's how I got on so definitely gotta create your own job, but I As far as like I think what you're saying about the mentorship thing is right I think I've been blessing it because I got people like charlotte like angie like thea But a lot of people don't even have that access to even get to the door Yeah, I mean it's so I mean everything y'all saying is absolutely correct right because I'm a person that believes um There are no gatekeepers anymore because there are no gates, right? But there are still gatekeepers You know what I mean? But the problem with the gatekeepers is The gatekeepers aren't letting the right people in because the gatekeepers don't even know what the qualifications are to be inside You know what I'm saying the gatekeepers are still using old blueprints and they're still using old metrics So when these new people come in that should absolutely be on the inside and absolutely be the new gatekeeper standing there right alongside of you You're still looking down on them because of your old perception Yes, yes, but then there's also a lot of new gatekeepers that ain't even valid in any way Just out here But how do you get valid now like you don't get valid till you get the experience What makes you valid like I like I'm the type of person I validate every I I feel like everybody's opinion is valid If it's a good opinion like I'm just listening to what somebody says when I hear way no way no Way no is just as sharp Now as he was 10 years ago when I heard him a shit change That's why I'm like, yo damn way no, let's go. Let's go talk shop. Let's go talk shop right about this You know what I mean? So it's just like you have to hear people like What validates you other than having strong opinions? Well, I think you know another thing is is like For me being in a space I'm in and in space that you're in is being able to see shit and people that they might not see in themselves You know, um, like I I feel like That's another thing when it comes to this generation This generation is the I ain't doing it. If I ain't getting paid.  I don't need this job I could go do something else and the thing is I feel like there's this People want to skip the grind too much. I feel like it's too many people that really want to skip the grind You know, I mean like the the grind I tweeted this one day I said like you can't you can't skip the skip the grind If you if you do eventually you have to start over and so many people took the wrong thing from it Oh, it's nothing wrong with starting over. I'm not saying it's nothing wrong with starting over I'm saying that like if you try to skip the grind and you think you're gonna go into this space You're eventually gonna have to go through the process of what it takes to get in that space Now, I also don't think that getting into these spaces should be as difficult as it is I feel like, you know, a lot of people got to get over their egos and try to not hold people in a certain space to say Well, oh nila.   So that's why it's like Valid to me.  You know what I mean so many people are I just based off All types of other just extra things when really at the core of it, you know, it's about the music Right Yes, if you hear somebody and you can tell that person knows what they're talking about To me that's that person's opinion is valid. I get nila's absolutely right.  That's why I just No, everybody, you know, everybody is immediate. You know everybody That was the gift in the curse of me ending up on a platform because it was like when I got there I never viewed myself as being there But like everybody felt like I was in like a lot of people that I've been doing doing this shit for years Felt like I was invalid and I didn't deserve to be in a certain position but like They'll come up with the most outrageous Reasons why they should be in the seat and I just think that like getting in the certain spaces It's a it's of course has something to do with being valid But also how you position yourself a lot of people don't think about that like positioning yourself You know, I mean if you if you're able to get in the rooms Getting around the right people and and presenting something that's another thing Everybody a lot of people want to do shit, but don't got nothing to present They just feel like yo, I got an opinion. You know, I mean like you should have me on there. All right, like Right Well, that's what that's all fault though. That's all fault because we make this shit look easy You know what I'm saying and people are like you talk about the process That's why shameless plug my first book black privilege I got a chapter called put the weed in the bag Because it goes back to belly when them two kids were sitting there with Nas and DMX They was like we want to go out there and get money and X was like no Motherfucker put the weed in the bag first people always want to skip the process But they don't know way no used to manage artists They don't know way no used to intern at Rockefeller You know I'm saying they don't know Nila used to intern at power 105 They don't know Nila used to be Angie's assistant. They think that y'all just came out of nowhere And now y'all got these positions and y'all get the motherfucking talk and you know people care about what y'all say No y'all earn that Y'all earn that by the work y'all was putting in and and also the way no to your point with about ego man.  He was like it's time for me to step away Because I just don't know how to age this shit And that to me was I salute him on that. I don't I don't I don't necessarily know I don't necessarily think he should have walked away because he has such expertise But that's when you bring in the people around you and as y'all said create positions for them Right to keep you sharp Absolutely simple as that simple as that like I don't I don't I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily say he should have walked away But just the fact that he had the way with all because so many people can't be honest with themselves about that Shit, well and just simply say man.    Like, you know, I mean like certain certain slang of words But I stay around like younger people just to learn But I think the biggest problem is that People in my age are older or even a little bit younger than me feel like once you reach a certain place You can't no longer young learn from the youth.  I believe the children of future teach them well and let them lead the way like that's a real ass Wouldn't you use the niggas? How you mean who said it? I could think I could think too fast, but would he used to say that?  You know saying I feel like that's the game The game is full the game when it comes to the money and the positions is full of a bunch of people sitting And see it's like these young niggas don't know nothing until they do and then all you try to do is Hire them so that you can control And that's why the young niggas don't respect exactly.  You should have embraced them from the start. I was telling knowledge the other day I love music.   I got three kids.  I can't keep up with it So how do I cut through the noise? Nila What's hot? What should I be listening to? Right? You know what I mean?   Um, let's take a break And come back. I want to talk about a couple more things. Um Before before we get out of here.

But it's like She's become A star now You know me she's getting mentioned in beyond state records and all of these different artists want to put her On her albums. I think she was on ti's album this year and gz's album. So it's just like, you know Salute to salute to mika for doing the work I don't need kendrick lamar to be on the front lines when we have people who actually Do that work and people who actually do that work.  They should be celebrated just like definitely get her flowers in the world is there? She's definitely um Music penetrates differently. That's all I'm saying but we do need those voices to represent us and speak Absolutely, right now. I want to talk to y'all about what everybody thought was going to happen on. Um Again Listen, I love black people You know what I'm saying? I love us and I love that we're so optimistic and I love that You know, we're always looking for ways to get out of bad situations Have things gotten so bad for black people that now we're hoping for superpowers No, it's been that bad.    I'm not at first. I was looking at I'm like, okay That's a funny joke. You know the great uh the great conjunction is happening.   You know what I mean?   That's what we did with this superpower. Shit.   Oh I why couldn't it be looked at as another type of power like why does it have to be about getting Invisible and or something like that like why couldn't be like embracing your Like new mental health or I don't know like why can't I? Because it wasn't rooted in that it wasn't rooted I couldn't change it that way because of superpower I'm gonna just have a positive mindset that day that I know the universe is on my side like Yeah, like no, listen, that's that's a consolation prize.  So let me feel better about it.  It's in all of the books. It's in the bible.   I'm just saying like you could just twist it around for december 21st.  That's a fact. Listen. All I'm simply saying is you don't need um Things like the great conjunction To believe that you have some extraordinary Ability to change your circumstance.  What's the portion of our brain that's not used? We got the like a lot a lot here pretty That's not used right? It's like what's the percentage? It's a crazy percentage That you be like damn if I can figure out how to use all of that Yeah, I want to say it's 75, but I'm not sure I know it's something crazy that you think like damn.  All right, all you got to do is start making better choices You start making better choices in your life.   Yeah, it's a it's a very very difficult task But I promise you when you change the when you change the way you look at things the things you look at will change I promise you that you know what I mean like I promise you like I love being From where I'm from because being where I'm from Put things inside of me that made me be able to see the world from a different from a different view than others You know what I'm saying sometimes when you see the world only through the lens of privilege Are you see the world?  Absolutely. So so so that's that's that's all I would encourage people to do man Because I don't want nobody to be disappointed as so many kids are going to be uh tomorrow when Christmas comes You know what I mean?   Because you just want your parents to be able to pay the rent You you didn't been a victim two three times as a child You just want your parents to be able to pay the motherfucker rent So you writing out this list you turn it into Santa Claus and then somebody tells you oh Well, you didn't get what you want because you weren't nice You didn't you imagine what that does to your self-esteem Yo, I like Yo, I never believed in Santa so I don't really know And my mom told me that it was Santa but then it would be like her handwriting on on the present So I just was Pickering up everything so I never really believed in it one and then two I don't think it's something that I would pass down because if I'm spinning my heart or I'm running on it You won't know who really loved you this week. I paid for it. That's what I was like The thing that killed me what Christmas was It was like this is after I found out because I don't I don't celebrate Christmas due to my religion But besides that it was like it was one time. I was around like 14 years old my mom We had like we had moved out the the projects.  What what what Christmas and I just was like, you know I don't knock people who do that Did that lead you to selling crack?   I just was like I it didn't matter to me. What matter is that we just was family Yeah, that's the loot that's the loot your mother for keeping it keeping it 100 man Because that whole reason for the season stuff.    I grew up Jehovah Witness. So I never celebrated Christmas and we was poor It was already poor. So I never felt the poorness aspect of it only because I just knew we were Jehovah witnesses So I never was tripping, you know what I'm saying only time I ever got mad about it was fourth grade when Miss Freeman who was a devil to this day?  No Jesus don't even care about Christmas because y'all don't really care about Jesus on Christmas When have y'all mentioned have y'all mentioned Jesus at all this week? Let me tell you it's so funny Well, I got so many questions again. It's so funny, right? Just speaking about Jesus We all everybody believes that Jesus is black, but have you ever met a black person named Jesus before?  That's what I'm saying.  Yo Jada little baby Quavo and sweetie gonna have all a lot of people in they feelings because a lot of people gonna be thinking that that's how they should Should be not knowing that these niggas is rich beyond belief Quavo got sweetie a bitly I saw I saw that this morning and then yesterday I saw quavo got himself a made-back truck Then the other day I saw sweetie buy herself a private jet.  It's about the reason for the season They need to keep it real what you like when old mom did and just tell you straight up like look We just can't afford to do it. Yeah, listen, you just gonna do it.  Um I think that's it unless it is there's anything else y'all want to discuss Not really we talked about today y'all taking the vaccine I gotta know a few niggas that get it I got those niggas that get it and watch them over six months before I do it. I don't know I can't I can't just jump into the fire yet, man, because I never took no bag I don't I never took no flu shot and none of that in my life Not saying that All right Yeah, I got the chickenpox when I was a kid. You only get that once though But it's like when it's not one white my full guy every white doctor I know every white doctor I know since september has told me don't take the covid-19 I promise you Because I feel like this is conspiracy theory I promise you I tell no they didn't say don't take it They just said just don't take it until like next summer or something Don't take the one that comes out in the fall and the one that gets made available to the public in march April they was telling like when I first got my first covid test when we came back in the city Um when to because we had to go into the studio that day when I announced the black effect Like we had to do a covid test and the guy that gave me the covid test He was a doctor. He was like don't When if the vaccine comes out this fall don't even think about messing with it till next summer I was about to say this is like the first batch of playstation files like they don't buy the first batch because they got bugs in I worked the bug out last friday I'm not gonna say the doctor's name because this is one of my doctors and I don't know if I'm even supposed to be revealing This she she she shaves my corns right because I got a corn on my right pinky toe And so like every six months I got to go get a shot in it and get a shaved off because I don't want to have the surgery Not for a corn I just try to go get a shave So I wouldn't got a shave last week and she said the same thing. She said she said lennard You're not going to get that vaccine.  Did you see that lady that took it and passed out? I did and they and they said that wasn't because of the vaccine the hell it wasn't I don't know Then I was I was I was reading about that they were saying like that's one of the side effects of some vaccines vaccines Do do that to people at times. I'm like, I've never heard that in my life. I've never heard somebody say they took a vaccine and they fainted Say what I don't know man. He might that I don't know man, did he We don't know oh, I saw this you saw this what it was like the vaccine was the syringe was empty Yeah, it's just like but you know what that you know, I said they buy didn't take it Because remember that shit when when obama was in flint and he faked like he sipped the water Did you see that? Oh, that was yeah Yeah, I remember that exactly like I don't know man.  I agree. That's what I said I'll see a left border thriving just fine. That's what it looked like to me. Nila.

Yeah, I went to linux and I'm gonna get shot to the shooting range Yeah, it's my everything I'm like Nala, you know, it's so crazy about linux though when you was walking through there, right? Because every time I go there I'll be in there by myself. It's mad police a lot It's a lot of police everybody told they told me that the violence is happening in those malls because a lot of the Other malls stores got shut down So therefore everybody Is coming to those two malls in Atlanta like, you know, it never it never used to be like that There was a mall where certain people used to go to And now that those stores are closed everybody has to come to these two particular malls I think it's linux and I forgot the other one, but they said that's what's causing like a lot of the problems But it was jam packed and the lines was dumb.

directs the enforcement of Earl Homer Cummings, head of the Department of Justice. Of this, one branch is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the G-Men. This is a Bureau of Scientific Crime Detection, new, modern, up to the minute, in action day and night. The FBI never sleeps. The G-Men have become a legend. So what's the mystery behind their badge? There's heroism, we know that. The memory of special agents who have given their lives to their duty. To them, and to their families, this picture is dedicated. Soldiers in war while the world is at peace, the victorious war that the G-Men have waged against organized crime. What mystery is there behind that triumph of law? Let's see. Let's ask J. Edgar Hoover, who as a young attorney became in 1924 director of the G-Men. There is nothing mysterious about the manner in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation works. Its formula is a simple one. Intensive training, carefully investigated, and highly efficient personnel, plus rigid requirements in regard to conduct, intelligence, and integrity. A special agent must be a good marksman and have the courage to shoot it out with the most venomous of public enemies. He must know how to take fingerprints and what to do with them afterwards. He must know that no clue, no matter how seemingly unimportant, can be overlooked. He must have constantly before him the fact that science is a bulwark of criminal investigation. And he must realize that no case ever ends for the Federal Bureau of Investigation until it is solved and closed with the conviction of the guilty or the acquittal of the innocent. FBI, Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. And there's the war map. Pins tagged with the names of special agents and placed where the agents are. Mr. Charlton, I think it's going to be necessary to enlarge the detail of agents of Little Rock, Arkansas. So consequently, I think we will have to transfer two agents from St. Louis into Little Rock, selecting Agent Bush, Agent Hardy for that detail. All right, then. And we'll have to assess, I think, possibly Agent Jones into Mel Pazzo if he's finished his special assignment at present time. He has finished that assignment, Mr. Hoover, but I might suggest Agent Montgomery and the Los Angeles office for that detail. I think that's an excellent selection. Have him be sent by Air Transportation. The nerve center of the FBI, the kidnap switchboard. Day and night, it waits for the alarm in kidnapping and other dangerous crimes. Here, the word flashed in the famous snatching cases. Urshel, Bremer, Weierhauser, calls that set the G-Men on the trail. And the telephone number, if you should ever need it is National 7117. This is National 7117. Just one moment, I'll connect you with Mr. Hoover. From here, Headquarters controls the army of G-Men, the teletype, absolutely secret communication, directing the work of the 37 field divisions of the FBI, in touch likewise with hundreds of police departments everywhere. Over this teletype were sent the orders in the Hunter Dillinger, Babyface Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, the Dr. Carpher's mob, and those other notorious public enemies. Now the fingerprints, but don't think that the G-Men deal entirely with crime, not in this scene, for this is fingerprinting that's ordinary routine in everyday life. People record their prints and their children's too for protection. Citizens like John D. Rockefeller Jr. 1,000 sets like these come in each day. No connection with the criminal records. A section far removed from crime. Suppose there's a tornado, there may be lost children needing identification. Unidentified bodies are recovered in any natural disaster. Each year, 200,000 people disappear. 3,000 unknown a year are buried in Potter's fields. Their amnesia cases, loss of memory. All these could be instantly identified by fingerprints which remain unchanged throughout life. Now the criminal records. Here they receive fingerprint inquiries from local police authorities at the rate of 4,000 a day. Somebody arrested somewhere. What's his record? Is he a fugitive from justice? His fingerprints are sent to the FBI. The experts conduct a search. The prints sent in are in all 10 fingers. They are searched against 10 finger records. There are more than 6 and 1 half million sets of these on file, so classified that the right one can be identified in less than three minutes. There it is, under the magnifying glass it matches. That man's record will be sent to the local police. He's an old offender and can't deny it. A machine can make the search. The fingerprints that we are trying to match have certain characteristics. The mechanism is adjusted accordingly. This adjustment will pick out a punch card perforated to represent the fingerprint characteristics we are looking for, 100 times as fast as any clerk. Here's the card. The punch mark corresponds to a fingerprint card in the file, so we select that one. We match it and we can't miss. Our fingers have designs of loops, quarrels, and lines like a tent.  The chance of a mistake is one in an undecillion. The figure one followed by 36 ciphers. This man is wanted from mercy. The FBI fingerprint service identifies an average of 500 fugitives from justice a month. The service is free to the police everywhere. The police can take a 10 finger record of a prisoner, but at the scene of a crime, you may find only one print or a part of one. Here in this single fingerprint file are classified the prints of individual fingers of 15,000 dangerous criminals, bank robbers, kidnappers, racketeers. When a single finger impression is found at the scene of a crime, it's checked against thieves. The original clue in the Kansas City Massacre and the Bremmer kidnapping was a single fingerprint. Women criminals, 400,000 of them. Notorious female crooks and gangster malls more deadly than the male. In completeness, the moniker filed criminal nicknames. This solves crimes. Mama cat looks like. Here's where the crime record closes with a full stop. Full stop for these criminals, dead ones. Here you'll find notorious names that made evil headlines of crime. Some public enemies were sent to prison by the GMN. Others are here in this file. Here brought to Chicago recaptured after he had escaped from Lima, Ohio. Taken to Crown Point, Indiana, the Lake County Jail to be tried for the murder of a policeman. Desperate public enemy now rises to fame as an underworld hero. Arrogant, that expression in his eyes. The welcome accorded to a vicious man killer. In spite of all this guard, he escaped once more using the sheriff's car. By driving this stolen car across the Indiana State Line, Chicago, he violated a federal law for the first time and that put the GMN on his trail. This led to the raid of Little Bohemia, that Dillinger mob hid away in this Wisconsin resort. These dogs gave the alarm when the federal agents closed in at night. A gun battle and special agent, W. Carter Baum, was shot and killed by the thrice parole babyface Nelson. John Hamilton, Dillinger Aid, wounded, he later died. And that set the wheels of justice grinding with a vengeance. Half a million of these wanted notices went far and wide. They got him outside this motion picture theater, wild excitement. Dillinger killed by federal agents commanded by Inspector Samuel Cowley, assisted by East Chicago Indiana police. The belongings of public enemy number one, three men couldn't carry Dillinger's collection of deadly weapons seized at various places. He had this automatic in hand when killed. His fingerprints, the infallible sign. He spent $5,000 to have them altered with acid, but it failed. 300 points of similarity remained. His face made over, but the G men recognized him. The eyes and the shape of his head tagged in the morgue. Dillinger's pal, babyface Nelson, murderer of Agent Baum. He was driving with gangster chase. A gun battle with special agents, Hollis and Cowley. Cowley who trapped Dillinger and both G men were killed. Nelson, mortally wounded, 17 wounds. The G men sprayed him with bullets as they lay dying. Oklahoma City telephoned National 7117 and that began the wide ramifications of the urchelle kidnap case. The wealthy oil man snatched. From Denver, Colorado was brought Albert Bates who was tried along with his fellow mobster Harvey Bailey. They are identified by Mrs. Urchelle in open court. She is pointing out Bates. The investigation covered 23 states. Before a federal judge, oil man Urchelle also identifies Bates. And Bates and Bailey are sentenced for life. Afterward, a plane brings machine gun Kelly and his wife Catherine from Memphis, Tennessee. Less than 90 days after the kidnapping, 15 were convicted, six get life. Before the judge, machine gun Kelly and his woman get theirs. Of the $200,000 in ransom, paid 123,000 was recovered and returned. Bates, Bailey and Kelly and Alcatraz. When machine gun Kelly was captured, he begged. G men don't shoot, meaning government men and the name G men flashed in the news. In St. Paul, Edward G. Brammer was kidnapped by the Barker-Karpus mob. The trail led to this cottage at Lake Weir at Oklahoma, Florida. There was a desperate four hour gun battle. Maul Barker, mother and leader of bandits was killed with her gangster son Fred. Maul Barker was firing one of those machine guns when she died. Here in New Orleans, Alvin Karpus was captured with J. Edgar Hoover directing after a nationwide search. Karpus was afraid of fingerprints. Here's the G man record. He had the tips of his fingers sliced by a knife. No use. His fingerprint characteristics identified him just the same. He had his face lifted, his ears clipped, but look at his eyes, same old creepy. This ransom letter was turned over to the FBI. Nine year old George Weirhauser kidnapped. They made him sign the back of the envelope as identification to his parents. The G men made a searching study of this elaborate kidnap message. He gave a list of the size of the bills to be paid in the ransom money, $200,000. Sign, egoist, egoist. The money was paid and that was the clue in the case. The FBI has a nationwide system of hunting down kidnap cash. The G men made up a list of their own. Washington presses drowned out hundreds of thousands of these. They circularized the nation banks, stores and filling stations, any place where money might be spent. The kidnap boy was returned on June 1st and arrests were made on June 8th. Quick work. And the trail led to Salt Lake City where in this five and 10, one of the bills on the list was changed to buy this cigarette case. And swiftly an airplane was taking Harman Whaley and his wife to Tacoma for trial.  William Mayer and once more the trail of the ransom money, that list of kidnap bills. He had to spend the money and couldn't do it without putting the G men on his trail. At this California hotel, he was registered as B.E. Cole. Once more of the plane ride. The FBI is air mining. That's why these cases were polished off so swiftly. Mayen had $37,000 of the ransom money and gets 60 years. And so grinds the machinery of the law at the FBI. These are bank robbers. The G men protect more than 14,000 banks. They have reduced bank robberies by 75%. Let's see how all of this is done. First it's selection, picking the right man. To become a G man you must be between 25 and 35 years old. All lawyers are expert accountants. There are myriads of applications, but only one applicant in a thousand is chosen. Each receives three and a half months of intensive training before he tackles a job. Physical training for a special agent must be fit. The FBI training is not only for G men. Police officers from select communities in the United States take the FBI course in Washington. There in the Jiu Jitsu class may be a law officer from anywhere. Their FBI graduates in 81 police departments that represent the law for 66 million people. The law library for legal study by the agents and by the FBI police academy students. Planning array, the art of attacking a gangster stronghold, how to take cover, battle strategy in the war against crime. Each field division has this complete equipment, handcuffs, leg irons, high powered glasses, search lights, receptacles for evidence, fingerprint kits, cameras. The G men have killed only nine public enemies, but these were the most dangerous, the deadliest of killers gone in hand. Others surrender through fear because the FBI policy is always to have its G men better armed than the underworld, to have better weapons and to use them better. The agents must qualify every 30 days as marksmen to be ready for new Dillingers, new babyface Nelson. Machine gun sharp shooting from a fast moving car. This is what happened to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in a battle with local officers in Washington. And the targets might be gangsters.  The G men at the scene of murder, an experimental case at the crime detection laboratory. The victim affectionately known as Oscar. A typical set of clues, everything placed in cellophane to keep it in original condition. The murderous weapon never touched by hand, so as not to obliterate fingerprints. The FBI students in solving the murder of Oscar find a partly eaten apple.  Everything is examined for these telltale marks. And there, up pops fingerprints made by Oscar or the killer. Here's where we'll find out. The scientific crime busting laboratory, where sleuthing is done by ultra-modern technology. The great period of G men scientific crime detection began in 1934 when Congress, at the request of the attorney general, enacted a series of crime bills placing interstate crimes such as kidnapping, bank robbery, extortion and transportation of stolen goods under federal jurisdiction. That made crime detection a national science. Now with convictions in 97% of the cases, the FBI has brought to trial, not including the murder of dear old Oscar. On that gun are fingerprints. They will convict the killer. This is the G man science, which has helped in the conviction of more than 11,000 federal offenders during the last three years. There are fingerprints on the glass to cleanse the conviction. The FBI costs $5 million a year while the amount of fines, savings and recoveries of property exceeds $35 million a year. And now the telltale fingerprints enlarged 400 times on a screen for the detailed study and comparison in avenging the cruel murder of Oscar. Remember that half eaten apple? Teeth marks in it. They use moulage to study that. Moulage is a kind of paste that heartens and makes a perfect reproduction of objects. John Hamilton, brains of the Dillinger gang shot by the G men, died later and was buried by the mob in corrosive lie. When the G men found the body, it could only be identified by his teeth and dental work. Teeth mean much to the skilled investigators. The footprint at the scene of the crime, reproduced by a plaster cast. This might be the mark left by any one of the 12,000 murderers who kill each year in the United States. They do this same thing with the marks of tire trays. Then the plaster cast is matched with FBI blueprints of every known tire tread design. Moulage reproduction is so perfect, you can hardly tell the copy from the original. There's cunning murder in the 45 automatic which was made into a machine gun for babyface Nelson. The cast of a hand might keep the record of a scar so perfect that you can take fingerprints from it. The handwriting expert tells us, if you write, you are caught. And here we find how far the work of the G man reaches out beyond gangs, robbery and murder. The FBI is responsible for investigations under 75 federal statutes from antitrust laws to espionage from bank frauds to treason, crimes on Indian reservations to bankruptcy. You can't disguise your handwriting. You can try, but you won't fool the G man. The evidence in a real case, a pair of trousers, they were sent to the FBI by the sheriff at Wachula, Florida. A powerful vacuum extracts the dust from the cloth. Will this match with the soil at the scene of the murder? If it does, it will prove that the man who wore those trousers was at the scene of the murder. The dust is examined by a microscopic. It appears through a petrographical microscope with polarized light. And this scientific laboratory service is available without cost to every police department of this nation. Hula, Florida murder case. This was a critical clue, a stain on the trousers. Was it human blood? The chemical solvent is filtered through and transfers the substance of the stain to filter paper, which is put through a cunning chemical test. The FBI laboratory is equipped to analyze any substance that may be found at the scene of a crime. The chemical test for blood by applying a few drops of colorless benzidine and hydrogen peroxide. This will detect blood diluted as much as one part in 300,000. Even laundering does not remove the trace of blood from cloth. If that's blood, the chemical reaction will form a vivid blue, it does. The experts testify and the murderer is sentenced to electrocution. One of these four knives was used to cut a screen. This was evidence in the burglary of a government office. The knife that cut the screen will have in its edge minute particles of the sink and copper of the screen wire. The invisible particles on the knife are burned in an electric arc. The light emitted is passed through prisms and forms a spectrum. Spectrographic analysis. Astronomers use it to analyze the stars. G-men use it to detect crime. The light shows the characteristic lines of sink and copper, proving that the knife cut the screen and that the owner of the knife is guilty. Gangster guns, each with a murderous history. The .45 caliber revolver carried by Alvin Carpets. A gangster's gun seized, and it may have fired a bullet found in the victim's body. Pretty boy Floyd's gun. He didn't notch it. He notched his watch charm 10 times. Here's how the G-men proved that a certain bullet was fired from a certain gun. You can shoot a bullet in the cotton and it will retain the gun barrel markings. These are studied by ballistics experts. Scratches and striations as individual-ass finger prints. This is a comparison microscope. The eyepiece brings the two bullets into juxtaposition and matches exactly those markings and striations. When the criminal fires a shot, the gun marks the bullet as if he had written his name on it. So here's the handwriting on the bullet, an open page for the G-men to read. The light that shines in the gun, the helixometer, a powerful electric bolt no bigger than a grain of wheat. It reveals the story within the gun barrel when it was fired last. You can tell even who owned it and the pocket in which it was carried by the tiny bits of lint from claw. Yes, the science that has hunted down all those public enemies and solved every one of those notorious kidnappings. There's no crime that cannot be solved. The firing pin that hits the cartridge can reveal a criminal. And firing pins launch the fire by the way the menace of organized crime. Rain or shine, the special agents are ready for combat with public enemies. They're to shoot and shoot straight. We need an America today in law enforcement. The elimination of politics from law enforcement, emphasis on efficiency, and cooperation between police agencies. We should all be concerned with but one goal, the eradication of crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is as close to you as your nearest telephone. It seeks to be your protector in all matters within its jurisdiction. It belongs to you. That means, gangsters, you can't get away with it.


Good morning. Welcome to the Chief of Staff and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force International Honor Roll Induction Ceremony. I'm Major Reeves, your emcee for today's event. Each year, Air University provides professional military and continuing education to over 250 international officers and senior enlisted leaders. Our partner nation sent only their best, as witnessed by the 41 Air University alumni being inducted today. Including international partners in our professional military education programs enhances coalition operations and interoperability and provides valuable regional perspectives from our partners and allies. In short, our shared experiences in education are foundational to partnerships based on trust and common goals. Today's ceremony recognizes the success of 41 Air University alumni whose achievements serve as inspiration to current and future Air University graduates. This is the first International Honor Roll Ceremony to recognize senior enlisted leaders who have attained the position of Chief Master Sergeant of their Air Force or higher. Recognizing our international enlisted partners alongside our international officers emphasizes the importance of a professional enlisted core and the value of a United Officer and enlisted command team. The names of the outstanding officers and enlisted honored today will be permanently enshrined here in the International Airmen Room. This year's ceremony also marks the induction of Air University alumni from three countries never before represented in the International Honor Roll. Lithuania, Montenegro, and Suriname. Please allow me to introduce our distinguished guests and hold your applause until all introductions have been made. We welcome General Brown's wife, Mrs. Shereen Brown. Commander in President Air University, Lieutenant General and Mrs. James Hecker, and Command Chief Air University Chief Master Sergeant Randy Kwiatkowski. Assistant Deputy Commander, 9th Air Force, Major General Clark Quinn, and Command Chief 9th Air Force Chief Master Sergeant John Storms. Vice Commander in the Air University Commander, LeMay Center, Major General and Mrs. William Holt. Commander, 12th Air Force, Major General Barry Cornish. Mobilization Assistant to the Director of Strategy, Plans, and Programs of the Pacific Air Force's Brigadier General Robert Vanhoy. Command Chief, United States Air Forces in Europe and United States Air Force Africa, Chief Master Sergeant Benjamin Headin. Finally, we would like to welcome all Commanders, Command Chiefs, and Commandants in attendance. We are honored by your presence here today. Now we will introduce our host for today's ceremony. Chief of Staff, United States Air Force General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Joanne S. Bass. Ladies and gentlemen, General Charles Q. Brown, Jr. Good morning, and as I think about the relationships that I've been able to make over my 37 years of service, I'm reminded of an old African proverb. It says, if you want to go fast, go alone. You want to go far, go together. As the world continues to grow more complex and complicated and uncertain, I'm certain that our Air Forces can work and go together so we can fly, fight, and win air power anytime, anywhere. I want to thank you for this great opportunity to spend time with you today. And congratulations to all of our inductees to the International Honor Roll. As was mentioned by the narrator, this marks a major milestone. The fact that we were able to induct our largest class, the fact that we are bringing together alumni and recognizing alumni from 551 from 102 countries. And it's interesting as you look at the wall here, as the United States Air Force this year celebrates its 75th anniversary. On the far corner here, it starts in 1947, and that's when the United States Air Force came about. It takes us all the way to today with this great display that for the first time we have here at Maxwell. We'll also have an opportunity to recognize the induction of our first senior enlisted members. And again, more than ever, it's all about relationships. It's a collaboration that's important for all of us as we work together to solve some very complex problems. And we look at how we work together, not only for our own individual national security, but how we work together as allies and partners. As doing that, we must go together. And so as you think about the emerging complexity, it is all about allies and partners. It's about working together, and that is really our competitive edge. It secures our common interests and promotes shared values. It's based on, and I will tell you from my own experience, I've spent a number of years, particularly all my time as a general officer, working with allies and partners. Working in positions that were either overseas, around the world, having time in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Indo-Pacific. And what I've found with each one of those, it is how important those relationships are. And how the military relationships around the world, no matter how complex the role is, the military relationships are always rock solid. And I really think about the aspect, as we all came here at different ranks, Maxwell, or Maxwell Gunter, and coming here to university. And who would have thought a number of years later that each one of us would rise to these positions to include myself? Having spent time here at Air Command and Staff College, and a couple of my classmates, one of my classmates, unfortunately, is a little under the weather. General Asutsu from Japan was my Air Command and Staff College classmate. A previous Oman Air Chief was my Air Command and Staff College classmate. And the current Chief of Space Operations for the U.S. Space Force was also my Air Command and Staff College classmate. So, I think that the message there is, you never know who you're going to be sitting next to in a class. At some point it's going to be somebody. And it's really insightful today that we have a chance to recognize some outstanding leaders from around the world who've had a chance to spend some time here at Maxwell. To build those relationships, because the relationships really do matter. I believe success takes help, failure you can do alone. And that's a quote I use quite often. And I think for each one of us, the reason why we've been successful is not only the experience we had here at Maxwell, but it's experiences we've had throughout our respective careers and the relationships we've built to make us successful. But I also want to recognize that our families do have a large part in this and have a large vote and allow us all to be successful for those of us that wear the uniform. So it's really opportunities like this where we have this international honor roll that are so important. And it helps us to reflect on how we got to where we are, but also how we think about developing the next generation of leaders that will come behind us. And so I very much again want to congratulate all the inductees today. It's a very, very proud day for Maxwell, for our United States Air Force, but I would also say for Air Forces around the world. And congratulations to each one of you, to each of you and to your Air Forces for some outstanding work and your dedications of, years of dedication to service. Thank you so much and congratulations. Good morning. Hello. Mahaba. Ahoy. Tada. Did I say it right? Hello. Labas. Gruetzi. Nihao. And from my hometown. Aloha. Did everybody get that one? Okay, good. Well, wonderful. It is truly an honor and so exciting to be here with you all today. It's very exciting to be here with our distinguished guests, but more importantly to look out in the audience and see the family members and the colleagues and everybody who's here to be able to support our inductees. Biggest congratulations to each of you as our inductees for being here for this year's honor roll. It is a big deal. And the best part about this is you don't have to take any tests while you're here during this time. So you've just heard from my boss, General Brown. You also had an opportunity to listen to General Hecker last night when he spoke about strategic competition. So honestly, they've said it all in my opinion. The one thing that I could do if I can just share a few thoughts about the strength of our militaries, if you will. You know, we talk about the strength of our militaries and our militaries are strong. They're disciplined. They're organized. They're innovative. They are adaptive. And that is all because of the people, specifically because of the people. It is true that our people are our most competitive advantage over any adversary that we might have. I often share with our airmen that it doesn't matter how many F-35s we have or how many B-21s or what the new ISR platform is, if we don't have the right people or if we don't have the right talent, then none of that ever matters. And so I'm so excited to stand before you today as a leader of the United States Air Force, but more importantly excited because today we are honoring and inducting seven of my teammates and seven senior enlisted leaders, seven Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force equivalents in our partner nations, and that is a big deal. And it will be because of the leadership of those seven to include their partnership with you as commanders that your air forces will remain strong, adaptive, collaborative, disciplined. It'll be because of that. So I'm thrilled to call each and every one of you my wingmen. I'm thrilled to call many of you my friends. And I'm thrilled to partner with you as we continue to guide and influence our air forces into the next century at a time such as this. So with that, congratulations again, and let's get on with the rest of the show. Thank you, Chief Bassett, General Brown. Will you both please come to the front and we'll begin inducting our inductees into the International Honor Roll.

happiness study will assist me to participate actively in research programmes and to affect student learning positively. And it has also equipped me with knowledge that is required of me in order to be suitable for academic environment. My ambition is to become one of the leading faculty member in the leading university in Nigeria and in Africa. For all institutions that deals with water, IHE DEFT is the best. the knowledge in class and the knowledge in the field trip cannot be acquired in any other institution so far. If you want to become a better professional, IHE is the best.


If you could bet on one Cleveland team to win a championship first, who's gonna do it? The Guardians, Cubs. I'd say the Cubs. We just got to fight a Mitchell, you know? Not a Mitchell, he's a dog. He's gonna put up numbers this year, I'm excited. Cubs. Why? Darius, Garland, MVP. Evan Mobley, second place.
