I'm a channeler.
I tap into the higher frequencies and they channel through me into this world.
Straight up.
And it happens because I allow it to happen.
I expect it to happen.
I’m aware of it and I’m just connected on a higher level and a divine level.
just the way the instruments were sounding, I was like, “Yo Kirk you got to give me
these types of drums.
The juicy joints.
Don't sample nothing but just do it like this type of feel.”
You know what I’m sayin’
I put the three k’s in america, you know what that’s for.
The super corrupted side of the country.
a kid came up to me, this really small kid, he was probably 7,8 and he was like, “Joey
I heard your new song.
Three Ks, two As in AmeriKKKa,” and that just keeps playing in my head.
Like, “Wow.
That kid is going to forever grow up and know that America because of me.”
I was binge watching a whole bunch of Doctor Umar Johnson speeches.
Not only Umar Johnson but Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey.
Marcus Garvey has a quote where he says, “Everything you do today that is worthwhile, while inspire
others to act at some future time.”
I’ve always wanted to do music but when I was going to highschool, I had a musical
partner that I made music with.
We know our paths were going to separate because we wouldn’t get accepted into the same high
school so we decided to pursue different dreams.
So he pursued football and I went to pursue acting.
but I knew that if I chase music, then school will start to decline, the acting thing will
start to decline because I had to keep my grades up for that.
I was just like, “Yo, fuck it.
This is my now or never moment right now.”
that’s when my destiny rerouted.
Damn, obama is out of presidency, I guess I can finally talk about this.
putting President Barack Obama in office for black people was of course a good thing but
what it did to us, our political selves, it put us to sleep because a lot of black people
was like, “Ok my president is black, let me turn my back.
Let me not worry about what’s going on over there.”
And not only that it was almost like, “Look.
You got a black president now.
You ain’t got nothing else to worry about.”
But still there is racism in America.
There is still systematic prejudice.
There is still stereotypes existing all over the country.
You know, I won’t be fooled.
Just because you gave me a black president, don’t mean that all our problems are resolved.
Don't mean that our history is erased.
That’s how I feel about it.
Donald Trump line is self explanatory.
My last name is Scott.
I googled Scott.
It’s a Scottish name.
That comes from a type of Scottish slave owner, somewhere down the line in my family bloodline.
That ain’t my for real family name.
I know that.
I googled my other family name which is Virginie, that’s a French name.
So that comes from a French slave owner.
And it makes sense because my mom’s side is from St. Lucia.
They speak broken French.
That shit open my eyes like crazy.
I’m like “Damn, we still got the last names of our slave owners.”
The ghetto are not just bad because their bad.
They’re bad because they have no other options.
You ever look a project--and this is something I got from the OG, RZA and his book--you look
at the project, everything is right there so those people don’t got to leave.
That’s why they call it a project experiment.
You got the project, you got the laundromat across the street, you got the school down
the block, you got the corner stores, you got the grocery store, right there too and
you know what else?
You know what completes the whole shit?
You got the prison.
You got the precinct right there.
You know what I mean?
So...
I can’t remember who’s quote this but I’m going to go with Karl Marx.
And the quote reads, “Religion is the opiate of the people.”
one of the most prominent convos, I’ve ever had with my mom was when I was about 7 or
8 years old and we were just driving through, like my neighborhood, I was in the backseat,
she’s driving, just me and my mom in the car, were’ driving past a whole different
churches.
You know how Brooklyn is.
You got the pentecostal church here and the catholic church here.
And so I Just asked my mom, “What religion are we?” because I know I got the girl with
the hijab in my class.
I got...
I’m trying to figure out what are we.
And my mom told me the best thing she could have possibly told me.
She said, We’re non denominational.
That means we don't’ have a religion but we believe in God.”And that kept my mind
open at an early age.
I think the first thing that we can do is, going to the United Nations and presenting
our problems to the world.
We can’t present our problems in front of this country because this country knows what
it has done to us.
