join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports i'm sure i'll see you then. max geysers financial survival guide stacey let's learn about fill out let's say i'm not sure i get an earpiece. of the flight pod thank you for taking. on the story that's right if you looked at slavery.

lessons became the place where my dream i felt like my dream could be realized and i would like to stay here. i was twenty seven when i came here. i was inside me and my girlfriend we had a we had a place together so i was ok and have to really she was paying to have to live so we were inside for three years.

i met on the street here using i got off the drugs and got a down to drinking beer but her liver had already ran its course she needs she didn't want to get on a liver transplant so. she died from cirrhosis of the liver. and write songs is stu's me based on something that i'm experienced or it's something that's happened to me that's where the blues you know maybe comes from within i mean gospel. army booze country. they all have. they all tell stories. when i hear the last thing. that could put it.

this far the streets well you never know what's going to happen in a day in a week just how things go you know there's not just. seriously it's everywhere like wildfire in a los angeles county. you just look right across the street a couple of blocks where that was a whole nother game it does not get along with decide over here. that we have real history right here is how to gangs a broken down type then you have. basically three different types of gangs activity going on and you have to create. most of them don't get along you have the power with which they're starting now not to get alone right here you have less oxygen on the west side of compton and it's a straggly park which is the park i'm standing there right now in the teepee c.c.s. park cabin crew. that's what you have right and that's where the bull band in ca and my rapper dog man of the sea and i'll. always be some type of addict me going

to want to kind of to keep everything that i was never like peace even with. the neighbors in the neighborhoods in the school budgets in the polies department everything's sour out back to some we're going to have some to say and some august attack. god drop the tylenol but haven't let it come out police was kicking the gangbangers it was basically kicked in against my cloak and we needed to speak out against. gangsta rap for me you know i'm saying. was a cry for attention like you know this is what's going on over here we don't bring lights it is we don't make make sure that you guys know let's call in the. whole. second this is part of the steve. i cannot talk to you right now i'm on i'm on

camera i would speak to you about ten fifteen minutes ok in the head with that. ok. a business call. more work. more gigs more excitement. this is how i live.

in. harlem some place for you where you go to find jazz and blues and r. and b. . you find that you also upon the punk energy. you can live your life very safely and. or you can be loud. very very. i need to find other people who are enjoying that same volume.

the main a motion. that i feel for the city is constant motion constant velocity everything moves all at once and. sometimes it works sometimes we get in each of those way but there are like over like eight million of us in this city so we get along as best we can sometimes we don't but this is the excitement of the chaos that i live in this is what fuels by music this is what fuels me i like the noise don't ask me why i was born here

i like the noise with us j.s. . or rock n roll or. this is what i have but i. borrow one. day. i perform. where of the work is i've enjoyed performing with the people or sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't miss it. on wall street this is rather .

calm. for her part of. the system straightened out. from our prayers for you to see a public service i'm sorry to hear i'm just here for those who just came out of one of those films at.

least he. least. a lot of us started what the spirituals because the spirituals during the days of slavery. work means of communication for. the slaves to communicate to each other about what was getting ready to happen like steal away steal away steal away to jesus they were getting ready to use the songs during the underground railroad to communicate with each other they were singing they were not allowed to read the

bibles. and they were fleeing from from the south to the north and spirituals choir sing them but there they really have a message if you listen to. her she. was. the it. was.

the minister gets up to preach there should be nothing for him to do but to give the word and as the levites used to prepare the music and with the harps and the flute they prepared the way for for them for the message to be given and church music to me does the same when you don't have hope you know the song this is you know i need the every hour. and it's calm like a prayer because you it just helps you remember all the things that he's brought you. because especially during times of sadness people or they don't have money. and sometimes you just need that song and sometimes it's not a docile song though it just may be a song just hearing joy to the world the lord has come and then now and then

there's another version of there is joy to the. gospel just takes a different different twist to a song that we all know but it gives people hope i think that gospel music gives you hope it gives you peace and it gives you joy you know the young people they have a different beat you know. but they have a different b. and so that when they come out with a new song feel the same for. everything . from grace to wrap. it had to happen. had to happen there was it was inevitable we call against right now but it was actually story corps reality read

perfect example so easy lyrics he said woke. about knowing just that i had to be captain so i got to get drunk before my day begins before my mama start bitching about my friends basic you understand everything i'm saying right here my reality is simple compton born and raised. fatherless child and also my father died when i was a baby mama was a cracking a four minute we all have our stories i had to earn my respect in a street in order to just survive in kind it was it was more of a necessity to say what you had to say like lose you know say i like the battery or you know sam like me you know said these are words that people understand where we come from so when you put that in a song that's what everybody will gravitate to the british government and the british establishment and mrs bush and mrs mrs may have looks themselves up into his studio about so-called new deal just so he's incredibly misleading as i just

said in so doing they've allowed the european union to impose completely drunk union service on the u.k. which we've lost anyway. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president interim. or somehow want to. get it right to be close this is like the four three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. question.

people don't always go i know they don't know what it's like here you don't know with how hard it is just to let me. the african music is coming from the soul. african-americans have struggled from the beginning that's not a gimmick it's like only hard you know if feel what they feel. my people who struggle with. you know who's coming from the cotton fields i mean so those people had a lot of. what i say. you know a lot of grievances you know not being. able to do what they want to.

and not being free new york does sound like different from texas different from chicago new york has its own style i try to make mine stand out different from all you know still have the blues feel but different. planets outweighed by. three years of a two thousand. and fourteen physics write a five year plan in the south way. every day. monday through saturday i might take all the wind they play in

a sound way. every day. so there's a base near. where i destroyed living room. everything old. just like people working with a man made him feel paid them feel real beals meals meals. a day when. you know this and keep you there get him set to ban all of that. nonsense coming from a home that's you know. the sofa goes to new york ring which is like no other rain anywhere else in the world. like a movie. like the cleansings the baptism the rebirth.

it was such. a lovely weekend. and many. of them with empty love. does. what. he. told someone and sold.

it it. was our. go on our own merit. some people are you know that's. called they feel like this. you saying it and doing what you loathe to do. and they. don't care how good you are in the subway it's not about how good she was it's just a lot of people just. so you give me what you will not if you think you're going to be well.

number one and number was. it was all those. dollars. i needed. dollars. i mean a dollar a dollar is what i wouldn't be one though this might be and then the. bill was due and of i guess that's our and then. since when is and then. told him aren't. govern this. american music is largely african. we got carried away here we care the music with us is. the real heart because the bomb goes was you don't

have a lot of money. you then. give that lauri's to the music itself. that's the heartbeat of our student. that the politicians that the. rich real the heart of what we do is the truth. it's not about money. it's the color of nature not the color of money. you want to really york or the guy you want a real musician you've got your real human being. already

here so cause you mess with my mates. like i was all some lady in a trance i wasn't even a claim in her where she was don't want trade but you want gossip girl that's why you gotta catch this accident scene but try to play telephone games you always get it back with the with this african bam plot to be a serious problem mchale wrestle the guy from the plate you say get it all point the bullets up off you such great kick you just make space perfect form rest mass

you want to crane work off the golf clean towel piece so now mona lisa i'm cool just bought some state senate to the states. people just got a lot aggression up in here because you know the system is always on these people who is you know came through to. form a commission into slavery to be squashed inside of an area. life gets you down with a lot of gunshots or a misstep going on people like to put in their artwork and you know the best writer wins you know that's what's go to the competition out here now to see who comes up with the best on board as far as music and lyrics a lot of things happen you know to where these guys like to get it off their chest bharati is all cultures being in. africa. you know people from africa african-americans however you want to call it black you want to call that we always have we're with people and in the artist to be

a no one in the english culture we have to die broaden their view sometime of how we use our words and how they use their words of the system that we live in now you know this is all word play and old action is likely part of a list tasteful plus when you see this punch he has to throw more stick and a lot last night result. oh gosh that's just so they got to number in the series and then they got beat by need to get crow in a box that's the good but not the sequel. don't put the bigotry on the city slicker how to put in their own end up listen they can have him but then don't jump the gun trying to point the shots at him to make a difference you get a rap sheet on a conference up and say you know we cleaned. the rap in the over half of our talk about how you see a bill by our what you seen around there is not enough i'm not. taking seems to be

negative but he's by. far the. negative or just be you know you're form a realist you know. you know why people form they gather form like this down. here we were dragged here. by you're not going to get rid of us. you're not go away you will not die quietly you brought us here just stuck with us . let me live. shot.

strong. in the united states by the local phone there with the control that we all did that one day we all that we know will control next. move. people want to control this god. control it and they.

are. the russian military deteriorated terribly at the end of the soviet union and russia was always going to rebuild its military but the question is how can we the united states and russia construct a relationship where we are both confident that all of the intentions or more confident of the intentions of the other so that we're not worried it's not that we shouldn't. but it we should make sure that our counterparts understand why we have it and when and where we would use.

fracking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year trucks or chose to drive truck people rushed to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and the bus station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal. comes on already has a significant portion of all u.s.

commerce something approaching twenty percent i guess their goal is to get fifty percent of all commerce in america it would be amazon commerce and they need artificial intelligence to do that in artificial intelligence needs data to run effectively so jeff bezos but the call out to all the cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data on all the people living in your town and will dump it into our computers and our ai systems and by the way you don't get anything. is. nothing compared to. david on this mr. used the words of the cards for him differ from them as a child so it may have been present and we we agree with i. think is appointed said the m i five a new case came off a soft read governments report details security failures that could have prevented
