and you are getting outkast.> outkast became rap's beatles because we found both but particularly, andre becoming more obsessed with a kind of adventurous landscape of music. >> serious hip-hop already knew about outkast. but then, they have this song called "hey ya." it's barely a hip-hop song, really. i'm not sure what it is, but it's got this kind of frothy, '60s vibe. it sounds like something motown might have put out when they were doing a song of young america. next thing you know, everyone is singing this one line, shake it like a polaroid picture. polaroid was the instant camera and the picture came out. and for some strange reason, as the image was -- was forming, people would do this. they would shake it, as if that was going to make it happen faster. so, he says that line in the song and, suddenly, everyone's doing that. and you have this cultural moment that everybody feels a need to be part of. then, you know you really tap into something, and that's what outkast did. move at your own pace. you can e

i hate to quote outkast twice in one show. just kidding, as you might know, ezra, or not.pply that to the filibuster. there may have been a time, let's grant the argument that there may have been a time after it was abused to stop civil rights, but before it was so common that it became a simple majority requirement that it did encourage comity with those members. but i think what you have written about literally for over a decade and many others have identified, that's not the case anymore. it has no constructive purpose. you go back far enough, it was racist. you go towards now, it doesn't do anything for bipartisanship. and it's not a permanent part of the constitution. so not unlike andre 3000's view of love, maybe the filibuster doesn't need to be forever. >> the fill bust shore obviously be gone. i'll say a couple of things about this. one, people like to say the filibuster encourages compromise. to that there is a very simple about ojection from jonathan shade at "new york" magazine. if you think the filibuster encourages compromise, look around. we have more filibu

and our job to work this metaphor more is to do as outkast and shake it like a polaroid picture, let it come fully into view and proceed based on what the evidence very clearly tells us. we can have fairness standards in the media. we do not have to live in terrorist conditions on our own soil. we have that responsibility to our citizens to do it. and we've really got to think in this country about how to regulate. and i know i'm talking on a media outlet, but that doesn't mean that we're not responsible for two people for the messages that we put out. and folks have died here. these people said -- these are the same set of people who said blue lyes matter and beat us into the ground and then participated in the killing and assaulting and maiming of police officers. there is something nefarious going on, and it's our job to do something about it as a country, to be held accountable. >> i'm only keeping it moving because of our next special guest, but brittney cooper coming through every which way, from the insights to the bars. thank you tonight. michael stays with us. here is the ne

imagine today somebody booing outkast? at that time they were and he said, i have something to say.to ask, a lot of hip-hop artists lent their time and to this race. we grew up in this space. >> but look-- >> i will take that all day. we age different. thank you. but i will say, when it comes to lyrics of hip-hop, like, in our 40 os we're not popping bottles at the club, ludacris, i have a groun daughter, sending my daughter to college. real life. when it comes to lyrics of hip-hop, some of the misogyny, negative remarks against black were women and colorism, when do we demand the lyrics of hop hop catch up with the times and be a part of the political discourse? it always was, a vehicle for social injustice. where do you stand on that? >> i'm a big fan of tupac. probably one of my favorite ever. before his time he was a reserves lucienary, he was raised that way. a lot of us aren't. we are trying to get out of situations and get along with the people we love. along that journey, you take your bad habits with you. you know, but when you understand that your suspicion not as an artis
