T.I. & Deante Kyle: Stop Celebrating Failure & Start Holding Ourselves Accountable

D.I.T. Cal and Big Cat reflect on the origins of their podcast, Gritzen Eggs, rooted in authenticity, community, and unfiltered dialogue about Black life, culture, and systemic challenges. They emphasize the need for critical thinking, grounded in research and personal experience, to understand how historical and social systems have oppressed Black people. Central to their view is the celebration of academic and personal success—particularly for Black youth—as a form of resistance against a culture that often overlooks or devalues such achievements. They critique the co-opting of terms like "woke," which have been weaponized by dominant institutions to marginalize Black voices and movements. Instead, they advocate for reclaiming Black knowledge, history, and self-worth—highlighting African heritage, pre-colonial civilizations, and the real historical presence of Africans in global development. The conversation stresses the importance of seeing Black people as whole, capable, and worthy of respect, not just as victims or stereotypes. Through personal stories, historical analysis, and cultural reflection, they call for a deeper, more honest conversation about power, identity, and progress—one that values truth, resilience, and the courage to speak up in the face of systemic bias.

excellent observation you know what I'm saying now I'm bragging the vision could I fall to beating you sleeping now it just it's just a natural press is the thing but yeah so then we can fare for it to the next part because you always like to skip that part because you like yeah you know I was holding you down you know you have me down up as it was uh yeah yeah right what yeah what cuz I was marketing the advertising you know I'm saying I ever tell you y'all boy straight this is a party oh shit and he like bro you better he hit me with some yeah like basically I said down I got a process

name cuz she she know everything we're listening it's a no in this for it's a no in this for I don't know I had been in this fight I remember this fight is she like I just got to film I'm like the film is right I'm on the way man shit can't you shit right on the call I also had the type of nigga that you got to keep on and stuff but hey look know where you can't get away it's the best thing to keep you on the street yeah you did yeah push and also to him rebellious like let me see how good she is yeah I'm gonna see it at least you'll later read terracotta my kick my ass I'm not trying to let me pay you a good job but you accidentally laughing like I was without pistol yeah I can't hit with a pistol a time yeah but anyway you know I stayed so and I'm not condoning he said I'm staying next to violence if you get in the views leave you just help I chose to stay you know yeah and I'm happy with my decision will y'all think about y'all background what was it about y'all background um that shaped your views of the world man I think naturally I grew up around folks that's a little critical of the system and critical of like the everyday life of black people especially like my mother very anti-street my dad chose to kind of go to straight and narrow cuz you know he got brothers and sisters and mama in the street and he grew up in that environment so tough that he wanted to get away from so the the way that they put a scope on it is not necessarily about demeaning them folks but setting it up like it's a system then it's a play and you know I'm always like I'd be outside they need to be doing two plus two that should make a foe and to me like this ain't no conspiracy but I also like not thinking about the history of the shit how it's stored I'm not thinking about none of these shit they think about and once you kind of like you keep going to the county and shit like that it's like but it shit really stupid man like cuz cuz I feel I'm very I think very highly of myself I know I'm smart I know I'm cares maybe I got the personality I do the same shit as y'all I just don't do it like y'all but then we all live it up in the same spot (laughs) No matter how good I think I am. But then it's like how's the smart nigga and the dumb nigga and the dumb nigga? I mean, we ain't the same spot. And so I think it was just a series of events of like, I really started interrogating the mentality as a people that I was around. And I was like, man, if I'ma say I'm smart, man, I gotta put the bullshit down. This is bullshit for real. And you know, that shit is gonna start with literature. So of course, like, first time you come across any nigga that's super woke, Muslim, 5% or anything, they gonna punch it right in my company. So I go, my company is by Alex Hayley. And that really shit, that's a great idea. It's a good starting point. And then shout out the air. So like his music was kind of tying into some of that shit too. That's why I was at with the music shit. And I was like, shit, I was just wanting no more. It's other shit out here to know. And the shit peaked my interest. It was way more than this bullshit. And I think once you just start literature, you start understand that Panther Party you start understanding the nation of Islam and they movement, civil rights movement. Then you go even further back, reconstruction. Then you go further back, the origin of slavery and religion. You just, you start uncovering a lot of shit. - It was a rebel. - You go down that rebel hug. And one thing I know about a rebel hug is if you ain't know if somebody else has been a number four, right? So shit, now just, I'ma go through the motherfuckin' until I come out on the other side. And I think for me, it's never been a thing of taking shit at face value is I'ma do the research. I'ma read the literature. I'ma listen to the lectures. I'ma take what me would make sense to me. I'ma take that person on this guard. 'Cause everybody, regardless of how astute they are, they always got a person stuck in the game. You know what I'm saying? So that's the same way I treated pastors when I was in church. I'ma listen to the sermon. I'ma take the things that make sense to me. And I'ma discard the risk. - That's the safe thing to do. - Yeah, and that's just, that been me since I was a little boy. - It makes sense. - So, you know, we got that in common with Pastor Posey, Rizm. - Yeah, yeah, man. - So Pastor Rizm, he used to preach a fire word. And my granny used to be like, "Cut, I only want to pay attention in church. I don't depend on that. I'm glad, but he's saying something. - He hard, but, you know what? - And you know what? - He get to go on, you like. - I respect that Pastor Rizm is so much because he was like, he was a true blue, like 100% pastor. And, you know, he didn't do that now. But, when it was time, right? And he never made no big deal about me being in church and then like that. We didn't know of that. But he did, you know, at the service, invite me to his office and say, "Son, you know, we appreciate you for coming. I'm just gonna tell you." We need to fix the AC unit. I know you swear, you can tell his heart and need some help with the AC unit. - Think it would. - I respected it. I respected it. - You know what I'm saying? You ain't trying to put on no extra shows. - And he ain't trying to handle you in front of everybody. - Anytime you was in church, even as a child, I never knew you was there until after church. - Ooh. - It wasn't nothing. We got Cliff here. We got T.I. in the building. It was never that, because it wasn't a show. Like, Pastor Rizm was true to what he was doing. He used to tell me, because I would always tell him, and he'd say, "Why you don't come?" My wife was like, "Where I will focus to be on the word. I don't want people to be turning around looking at me." He was like, "Man, we got a upstairs. Just go on. Just go on." - Definitely got a upstairs. - Go sit upstairs. - You can go on down, ain't nobody else. - Go sit upstairs and want nobody to know you yet. I say, "I think about it, man. I think about it." But that was, that's one of the parts that I truly respected, man. - He's solid, man. My grandmother, usher, motherboard of that church, for as long as I know, oxygen tank steel usher, passed away. He did the funeral, and officiate that thing. He, as I felt about no money. He was like, "She was a servant, bro." She was true to her service. - And he-- - While she was here, and I'm, who would have felt what I'd be to ask her about some money. He is an example that there are, even though the system of church or religion, the system may be built on business. - Mm-hmm. - But there are true participants who really do believe in what they do. - And they righteous, and they ain't hurting for nothing. - Right. - Like in a real way, that it is, it may go through problems, but that's why I'm critical of everything that I'm critical. I didn't see it done in a real way. - He may not have no bentley out though, but he ain't want no bent. - That's right. - He got the crisis. (laughing) - He cool. - He got the 300. - He got the 300. - He got the 300. - It's new though. - It's new. (laughing) - Real clean. (laughing) - You ain't never seen that pain, darling. - He can't get mad at you. - He can't but, but the thing is, he really took care of the people. - That's right. - So anytime I'm critical of Christianity, anytime I'm critical of the church, it's like bro, I grew up and seeing this shit in a real way. - You can't tell me and I ain't no way for it to be done. He look out for it to people. Out of the years I went though, I ain't never seen him calling nobody out. I ain't never seen him trying to embarrass nobody. - He ain't never seen none of that. - I ain't out of the bubble. - I ain't never seen nobody. I ain't never seen him tell nobody what they should be given. - No, he come with his word, that his interpretation of that Bible, that he tell you it came from God to him to y'all. - Like, and there's been death. And also too, like, and he time, he invite a guest pastor, you like man, man, man, look, man. Shout out to the collaboration, we're past the red man. - I didn't mean to get what I ain't never seen. I can't say that I don't think I've been in there when he had a get-pup, I could imagine how he would have had a get-pup. - So love, man. He was a stand-up, bro. Like, even, it's a big church too. Like, this ain't no. - I mean, it's just kind of big. - It probably about a thousand, a thousand, a thousand. - Yeah, the building, it ain't, it's wild, a wall. But you can, you know what I'm saying? - Man, yes. - But he know me personally, you know what I'm saying? And it's like, I ain't talk to this man like that, the man on my mama, bro, he know my grandma. But he, like, when he kind of talk to me, he talk to me like, on the same level, respect, he give everybody else. - Even as a kid. - You know he died, right? - Yeah. - Okay. - He died and he, I think is, I think his family is continuing on with the congregation, but that's a, that's a, that's a, - He had a giant, man. - That's what I'm talking about. It's a family in that particular area of, - Silver. - Silver. - Yeah, sorry about that area. - That silver here is area of Cleveland Avenue areas. I'm just saying, wow, I was more so talking about religion. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's an example, something that I can look to and say, that's how it's done if it's done. - For sure. - Absolutely. Rest in peace, pass the position. - And lonely, lonely, pass the rhythm. Hey, listen, you talk a lot about the fact that we celebrate Phil and not acknowledge success. How do you think he stopped doing that and set the right example? I think it's just perspective and change the energy, right? The same energy you'll give to quote unquote failure, right? Like we understand this system. We understand brothers are funnel into systems of oppression, right? Preschooled prison, pipeline, all these different things. At the end of the day, there is something to account for a decision making tool. And you come home from prison, I'm glad you home, but we ain't gonna get at the energy, if we ain't gonna get that same energy to a young man that call home with his degree. So I think it's flippin' it like, young man call home with a degree. That's a part of the, you call him prison? Hey, we gonna put you on with the program. There we go. - Yeah. Hey, your father's gonna come foot with you. Either way, but I think when we talk about the celebration, it's like, it's welcome home, but it's, I can't, I can't give the energy of like, welcome back, you know what I'm saying? I gotta give the angel, all right, it's time to get right. - Let's get the work, let's get the work, let's get the going. 'Cause then man over here just did four years in the college. - Right. - And that take discipline, that take research, that take sleepless nights, that take a certain amount of students to achieve a goal that is not guaranteed monetaristic sense. And the way a lot of people that have done got their degrees might not necessarily be practicing what they feel, especially not done. As you know what I'm saying? And they didn't incur a lot of debt. But I think if we want to continue seeing our people strive academically and things like that, that they should at least be encouraged and celebrate it on their way. Because, you know, people get discouraged when they don't feel like they folks fucking with them. - Yeah. And it's like, - That boat, but I would just be, I literally, oh, oh, oh, oh, both sad. I could see how people who come home from college fear that way. I could also see how people who stay silent and did their time with the crew and can't hold. - I, we have been out this boat since I was a two, 'cause like, if you held it down, and you were-- - Most of the parties in the world-- - They were, they were feet, they weren't-- - I was-- (laughing) - I was just being honest, bro. - Yeah. - The parties are way bigger for the world than way back. - Yeah. - It's just you. And you guys think about what it does to a child when he sees that So if a child see you come home from prison you can celebrate it more than your cousin then when the cops you come home And it's like well, he home now get a job. You got you got a degree You know young man could be going to get a trade. He should be encouraged. He should have the backing It shouldn't be A pattern of skytight ideas, but I saw a young women too. I think a young women are expected to be excellent And oftentimes not a knowledge for how many strives they make Oftentimes it's just so expected that I'm to be excellent That it's not a knowledge So it's like shit y'all ain't said y'all ain't through me now party y'all ain't said thank you But y'all know I'm up y'all know I make the good company y'all call me the enemy for money But not the second congratulations on the promotion. Yeah, you know, I'm saying because you know the way the way we mow Me and the women our community I can and like it's not like I don't understand both sides. I Understand the fear for young men Being out like you dealing with the police you dealing with other niggas in the street You know, I'm saying or even if you go out to the corporate well, you dealing with being the first You dealing with a certain level of discrimination if you hold your head to high So I think there's a healthy fear that predate any of this academic shit. This could be some Jim Crow Embedded in the system of how we raise our kids how we rear our kids. This should go all the way back to slavery Exactly, everything that is so I understand having a healthy fear And protecting the brute so to speak, but I think that There's a silent expectation that come from our women on the other side of that where they are making strides They're they're excellent in business. They excellent academics the greatest asset the earth has the alpha is a 100 100% so I think If when it's so expected that's even another aspect of like we need to acknowledge that too. I think because Of what the system is and how it target our men specifically That's why I focus is when they target is is what we put our focus and a lot of people in the shadows doing great work That's right or not being a knowledge and then when they When they say something about not being a knowledge to come off as bitter or in title or X Y and Z When it's like we could spread the love across the board and if we have an understanding of the system at this point We got to understand this is in versus mistakes You know, I'm saying when I went to go speak at crime I was talking to them about trades Down on them about it, but they know everything about the street. I said well if y'all know everything about the street And any decision you making the street is a decision Ain't nobody can nobody say you made a mistake Right, and nobody gonna say all my baby yo ass out there cutting up Yeah, if you make a mistake while you on this path to get this trade I could truly say it's a mistake and something to learn from and something to encourage you know Everything about this over here, then why the fuck you still doing? So now we talking about you trying to live up to a reputation of expectation or the influence of your peers And what they think about you is to the wish ambition But the ambition part of not but the instant gratification of that ambition to I want to get to you know My first car gonna be a head cat like that. I'm starting to get a Nissan get a hundred for it. Get a car You want to go ahead and get a car for a quarter and then you smack it out every time you get in it, but I think I think In the expectation of compounding All your success instead of just getting it quick. Yeah, and it looked good on Instagram, but that's just a picture Okay, perfect example, we in the studio with you the other night. Yeah It's don't nobody know That this Saturday night and we just ain't here kicking it. We listen to music. We this our first time really kicking it. Yeah Some of these snatch the video they posted all these comments going all these different ways all this video Oh, he ain't got the loss right here. Oh, they got him in there. They got the idea. They're not working on music Nigga, y'all don't know what's going on for real. So now you get guessing and that's what I'm I want to tell you no way, but I think the thing is is like we living in a in an idea of what we want things to be right? So I see the picture I'm a decide where that is based on what I want it to be and even if you tell me what it is I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say the answer. I got a monologue on the album that one I'm gonna say Could that will make sense to me, but I think the thing is a lot of it is instant gratification and I know The thing is I know niggas that have flicks for the ground right cuz they scammed and they close it's free All the cool thing or fake. It's another nigga by any code. I've seen rappers girl friends Coming out You know that shit mean something to us. It's because of validation. Yeah, and you need to be validated by something. It's a it's turn of validation As much as I have been when I told people to stop wearing Gucci When I said man don't wear Gucci and I said man They don't give a fuck about you why you went and I just you know Push my line with it. That's the most hate and like like how dare you tell us the nuts But that's the goal for a lot of people when they get success is to go straight to Gucci That's the first thing you can buy because the first area of luxury Gucci and the Mercedes-Benz I ain't got a lot of close guys some nice bags man coach making a comeback now coach. Okay, I'll start something with a start small Man fuck that shit man like fuck that shit, bro. That's shit. No, make you broke it though. You know, but I think and then I also people who weren't shit in high school and That's a fact though, they're trying to read live, you know, they're trying to buy man trying to talk. Yeah, yeah, they could be in high school in middle school It's over Don't get caught in your arrested development. Yeah, I'm trying to you know catch the past It's a fucking game when you was in them great. It's over. You dropped the page Yeah, right? We can't do that right now. Yeah, I said to man. I need you understand. It's okay to be great a little girl. Yeah, okay I don't think it's that I know that with the shit for real in high school There's everything they want in high school and shit what they went like they like that now It don't change their high school. That was the peak for Damn, homie and high school you was the man homie. I mean, but don't give me wrong There's one exception Two that's always except yeah, always I ran into my partner LeAnthony I went out me in LeAnthony. We was in door. We were to do he went to door with me in duck with me in my partner and LeAnthony did man him and he cures and get ready to come to school in a different car every And they had all the clothes and all you know, I mean they like they had I don't know what going over the head I just always imagine man, I'm thinking fell out man. I seen that nigga the other day and he still had it I think we need exception some things ain't concrete Outliers Outliers give you something to aspire to most truck drivers 99.9% of truck drivers can not say they have a successful podcast that allowed them to transition out So I also understand myself being out like right but I just don't you read the book? Um Read it while I was in the truck It'll be my downtime, but uh, I think you know, there always has to be exception So things and so concrete the things with that concrete nobody will try to do I think the goal ultimately is to sometimes be the exception, but I think how do you achieve that exception? You know, I'm saying if 99% of the people in your field die go to jail. Maybe We need to just try to have a different way You know, we got to switch that one up. Also, you know the 90s is over. It's over. They're in the It's surveillance everywhere If you ain't sale drugs when it matters then the whole to try to climb it's to get away with it Yeah, and if they got cameras everywhere. And I got niggas recording the crime. It might be time to chill on the crime. Recording the crime. Recording the crime. Recording the crime. Everything. To learn something is one thing, right? To read, observe, conclude, and retain certain information is one thing. To have the bravery to share that information regardless of the impact it could have on you or you for them. Like, where did that like what you like? That means you care about the people you're speaking to because you want to put them up on a game. Where did that come from? My mom and grandma, yeah. I think my mom was always like molding me that no matter what run you walk into, they speak a certain language, they move to a certain rhythm. You need to be able to adapt. My grandma would like, I mean, we put up at light. She had a guy there, man, they're hungry, man, some man. And I'm like, I don't know, grandma, you're just saying, hey, no, man, man, why would you get me all that? She said, I ain't got no money for what you want. You know what I'm talking about? She'll never be here. Their position here, you'll never be in that position. So for the shit you want, I ain't got the book for what he need. And for me, I was like, damn, this is my grandmother. My grandma really wasn't living in itself. But also the bravery part is like, but I went scared to try niggas when it was life or death, bro. Now we just talking intellectual, we're talking about where we come. What y'all going to do to me, bro? And also, too, let's talk about the idea of being a revolutionary. Let's talk about the idea of being a rapper. It's not even a one. I admire them guys. That was your push, though, for like, it was a push for sure. For some of you who care about the community, it take a lot of courage and bravery. And I think the thing gives is like, okay, this is me being honest, right? A lot of them guys met a demise. They was assassinated, they would kill by the whatever the case might be. They met the early to my trade. All these things. I didn't already risk that in street. I had dreams about this shit. I had dreams I was going to get killed in front of my mom and my little sister. And these is real current dreams to the point where it's like, God damn, this shit's going to happen in the day now. And as I'm transitioning out of this life and out of this mentality, I need to find something else to latch on to. And I want to figure out why I'm in this position and the people on the TV night and the people then I get to, okay, this is the rapper, but this the nigga that owned the label is you telling me you got a million dollars and it's the nigga that wrote the check. What the fuck? He got going on. Yeah. Who the fuck is Levi and why am I wearing his jeans? This this the type of I'm always been inquisitive like this. This type of shit that get me in trouble in school. I just want to know why, why, why, why, I never lost that child like shit. Like I always want to know why. As I go down that path and then I learn more about people like a Fred Hampton. Fred Hampton was like a bit inspiration because of how young he was. But also too his ability to understand different levels of this shit like a like a Kwame Terey understanding different levels of it. It's not, not, now that I understand the race game, now he's teaching me about the class game. And I'm learning different about it. Now that I learn more about the class, then I, Patrice Lemumba and I understand all this shit happening over there too. Oh, this a playbook. This a world wide playbook. We're in the same playbook. Oh, so then when the fuck did this start? I'm gonna just keep going, keep going. We have to do that every day. I'm content. Okay. So we have to do that. Nobody ever say what they got three cuts in it. Let me go get. Okay, but think about this. You gotta also think about a historical from a historical point of view. We can trace European history back nine thousand years. True. Everybody else who can go way beyond that. Right. Then we think about the climate and the way that humans live. Like human, just the basic necessities of human beings, food, shelter, water, everywhere outside of Europe, that shit is abundant. So I don't need to steal. I don't need to conquer. I don't need to be stingy. All I need to do is eat commune like we dance and we're making sound. We learn about the stars and shit. We learn that we observe in nature and learn the rhythm of that. We know what you can't eat, what you can't eat. We learning about the shit that is abundant to us. So like when you come, yeah, you're a little different. But I don't got no reason to thank you. I know sucka shit. Because we're gonna do sucka shit. We try it. We buy it. And we have no reason to want to go to another continent. We got everything we need. Cool. That's our spot. We got our own cousins who are hell this way. Everybody had their own shit. The same shit they would discover in Mesoamerica. The same shit they would discover in West Africa, East Africa and South America. People is already having their own cultures. They own intelligence. They had a history. Whether it be oral or written. And we gotta forget that a lot of the shit that we don't understand is either in that Vatican or been burnt down. So it's a lot of shit about humans. We don't know because of the fault too. What you think, ma'am? Musa Musa, his uncle Jesus, you know, lead Africa and go and choose the conqueror of it. This is the first time I look bro look I ain't got a lot of wind we just got fruits and weak nigga. We haven't even got money. We haven't got no care. But we gonna So crazy. We had a feeder camel. We never got to know that this year. But we haven't two more gold. Yeah, wait, you're on believe me. Yeah, it's a whole cart full of that shit and my research man from Monster Moosa. Of course they say he was the richest human being to ever walk the earth. For sure. I would they say now in my studies of the Bible the Bible teaches us this Solomon was the richest man ever walked the earth and you know I don't want to you know Play tip protect but just just in my studies of Monster Moosa. They say that in his in his voyage his pilgrimage because his uncle left That's how he became king. His uncle was king at his father had died. His uncle was king and his uncle left him I think as a teenager a young adult in his uncle told him he was going to find new land to you know to to to spread their rulership and after certain time Monster Moosa said that he was going to go and conquer the land and on that voyage that pilgrimage from from one place to the next he ended up in Spain and Monster Moosa became the only black person to room in Europe. And but but but that that's important but what I'm speaking about him and that Dynasty and then later to be the more but he wasn't he wasn't so as we understand it right like a lot of times people don't equate them together with Monster Moosa. They put that they put that history of so much of like making this man But that's why we would see this is and this is my point because when Monster Moosa's uncle left him and said he's going to find new land in my mind I could we never they never said where that land was yeah I feel like that was America hmm that would I feel like could be when Monster Moosa's uncle left him said he's going to find new land to rule and spread their king their rulership I feel like that was America yeah well there's there's a book and they keep in the day day day out they constantly speak about the Moors being in America before before before right this is how we but there's also paying I think that kind of with the man with the fears the Moors are prevalent in international trade are ready with America and there's a book called the first Americans were African there's a book called that this is you know like this where this is the thing is it's like when you got a natural resource where you don't have to conquer then it's nothing so this is the thing it's not a lack of curiosity we see that world we We want to see where that was. you know, but we also got the bridge. - If somebody could wanna know how deep it is. - I don't wanna know. - And also, once I figured out how some float on it, how can I get across to it? - But there's also a rich history of African circle never getting the planet. Period. This is African show up in every culture throughout there, or rated history, or written history. I think when you want to be the person that conquers everything, and you can control the narrative, 'cause you can control the media. - Then yeah, you gonna make it seem like it was you. - Yeah. - But it's a studious people, and you're gonna listen to Dr. John Henry Clark. - You gonna learn some facts? - True. Now, now, I was, I was saying that my point was, as Musa Musa traveled from Africa to Europe, there are many accounts documented, not only about how rich they were, but the caravan, they say, how rich they were in their, in their character, how they were, how they carried themselves. They weren't just like, oh yeah, I'm rich. So forth, you shit, I'm gonna behave. I'm gonna act as a car, so a stud, and they moved, which, you know, with such a love for themselves, and such so much self-respect. Man, they say that one piece of gold could feed a whole village, 'cause they moved with sovereignty. - And they were dropping shit over. - That fucking whole economy, I mean. (laughing) I know y'all training them, man, we cool on that, man. Y'all think it's on the gold standard now. - Wait, go. - Yeah. - Keep the change, it's crazy. - Keep the change. - Man, get you a brick of this shit, man. You a new, y'all a new people now. - You feel the same. - Look at me back and sit, man. Let's see how you doing. Yeah. - Go from that to, I, so Spain, Portugal, all that in the same area. - Yeah. - Okay, so that's where Massimosa ruled for, I think, with 200, 200 and a half, 200, 250, something like that. They ruled for a hundred plus years, and after they were no longer empowered, the Portuguese said, where did these people come from? (laughing) These people that had us, you know, saying that, that, that, that had us bound to them, whatever, like, under their thumbs, where did they come from? And that's when the slave trade started, 'cause they went back to fire people that could, that mirrored the image of the people that they were under for those hundreds of years. And that's when the slave trade. - Now these, this is a shit, man. - This shit, when I do my research, and I just kind of try to make shit, make sense to me. - Yeah, for sure. - Yeah me. - The envy of it makes sense though. The envy, the envy is nature of it makes sense, but also the historical fact of introducing hygienic practices in the midst of the black plague. So literally because y'all don't have a suicide system, y'all don't separate our animals from y'all, you know what I'm saying? Y'all don't understand about giant cross-contaminations. - Good. - It's also the way they end up ruling the world. Ain't that a mother like this. Shit, the more it's tried, the more the shit, the more it's implemented into European and Spanish culture. To save them from themselves is also the thing that they rejected and end up helping the rule the world. So it's also this thing of like, it's a hard hit in this, right? Y'all parts tell you, man, look, bro. You see, I got this, I got this going on. Like, I said, cars, man, you need to go sell cars, right? No, I mean, fuck that. I'm gonna go do this. You wanna do everything, obviously, 'cause ego and envy, I have you like, just motherfucking I know what they're talking about. I could figure it out my own way, right? But, you know. - I think a lot of the things, so I would tell you 'cause you talked about conspiracies and you being around people that you thought, or they had, they had perspectives that you took as conspiracies and you were like, "Man, I feel this is a real deal." I felt that way too. Back in the late 90s, man, I picked up a book called, "Behold the Pail Booth." - You still got it? - I mean, I've had a few copies, I love it. - But you still got the copy, the physical copy. But you still have it. Good, good, keep it, hold on to it, yeah, yeah. - And the shit I read in this book, when I was reading it, her thing I was saying was, "Man, this cap, man, I'm gonna send a cap." Come on, bro. From 98 to now, every fucking thing that I read in that book has come to pay. - Man, huh? - I'll type you a book, no, no, but I'll put this on. But the parable of the sound, don't you? - Parable of the sound? - Good. - That shit did take right now. - Mm-hmm. - Let me, I'm, I'm, I'm, it's the same way you feel about what you saying. - It's the same way you feel about it. - I'm, I'm gonna look her now, 'cause I don't wanna fuck her now. - Yeah, but why you do that? - I'll tape your butt, like, yeah, I had it right. - Okay. - Why you trying to all the time, I don't? - At first. - You talking about, I'll tape your spits. (laughing) - She a bad motherfucker. - She a bad motherfucker. - Yeah, I wanna know why you feel that, you know, it's, it's, it's not good to use the term, why you feel it? - Oh man, because the excess, the excess of the afternoon. - Ooh. - If I call you a whine, I'm not saying. - Say your name. - All right, but if I call you a whine, or a whine, they call you a young nigga too. - I don't believe in giving niggas access. And if I can say niggas, I'm gonna say niggas. - Ooh. - I don't need to short form it, I don't need to do anything. - And also too, it give me super predator vibes. - Demonizing. - What do you think, what do you think, when you see whine and what you think of young nigga, hanging outside, ski master, all these different things, it's the- - I'm gonna lie in the head and talk. - Not you, I'm telling you from what I see. - Uh, yeah. - How niggas, how- - Perception. - Perception, yeah, yeah. - Perception, right? 'Cause I say, young nigga, this is my young nigga. - Right, right, right. - But you saying whine, you mean something, you attaching an idea. - You can group them together. - Yeah, yeah. - And the thing is it gets to the point where you a car my son and a whine and he living, I'm called to say, he got straight A's, and he played a keyboard, the Trava, and Marty. You see what I'm saying? - Nah, if you can't say nigga, you just can't say nigga. If you can't say it, don't, I ain't shorting, I wouldn't, I ain't never say inward in my life. You sound saying so, no need. So I think the thing is, is the entry point. And it's not just, it's not just, you know, the typical is you giving people access to putting a label on some of this automatically negative and derogatory. But you also saying it without saying DYN, DYNs, DYNs, this could be a NN, this could be a MIX, this could be a white person. Just say nigga, if you know, it ain't acceptable for you to say nigga, then they're just showing itself for you to say whine. - It's like a steady baby. - Yeah, stay out of there. - Yeah. - Say young man. - Yeah, exactly. - But. - Yo fellow, I'm, listen, this thing about me. - I'm my antenna's is up for trickery. (laughing) - You're not gonna get one over on me. - You're gonna save like a motherfucker that just is similar to the Zaya. - Yeah, bro, I just think you're sitting. It's tricking, bro, I'm cool on the trickery, bro. Because then, 'cause you ain't never, 'cause keep the cheat out for you. - You didn't wanna say it? 'Cause I see that on, I see that young man giving his speech, he's a salutatorian in his school. - What is a salutatorian? - I don't know. (laughing) I know it's a guy that's a salutatorian. - And a salutatorian, I know the man's, I don't know. - But where's the salutatorian? - The brother up to the Valetik Tourist. - That's number two. - Yeah, that's number two. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I know. Valetik Tourian, salutatorian, that what I know. - I know this man is salutatorian. - That what I'm saying? - But I seen a comment. And the comments was like, all these non-black people talk about why he ends in education. - I see, yeah, I ain't fucking with him. - I ain't seen that. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm chronically. - I ain't, I've only seen black folks say why he ends. - Oh, what? - Listen, brother. - I've only seen that. - I ain't only seen black, but I ain't no social media though. - Yeah, when I was trying to tell you, brother. - I started, I got my birth in the TikTok world. - I got the fuck on in 2016. - Great for you, brother. - 'Cause I was chronic. (laughing) - I was like, I'm 10 dollars a day on him being, I'm in him more, fuck. But this thing, too, is like, if I'm making the observation in points, I need nowhere going on, especially, but also to just start to shit calm, and I got through the comments on. 'Cause I'm proud of you, young man. - Yeah. - I'm proud of, I'm proud of you. - And I'm like, brother, I love you. - I salute everything you, young niggas doing, is keeping you from breaking in my house. Thank you. - You heard, yeah. - Yeah, I mean, everything you're doing, keep doing it, to keep you from breaking in my house. I will with you, man, look. I'm going through the comments, and I see the theme. And then, you know, my son's, they play a video guy and so, I know how they be talking, when they in the chat's on and woo, woo, woo. And I keep saying the same comments, why isn't, oh, why isn't, it's a case now, woo, woo, woo, woo. And I click and I already pass in, and no, no black people saying this. - Ooh. - He's Hispanic, this is Indian, this is white person. I'm like, yeah, y'all gotta fuck up. y'all trying to bet those some true yeah we're gonna go on call this out now yeah for this shit even get catch fire we're gonna go on call them yeah and I know

so low so when you talked about like even how we hooked up to this shit I had a goddamn cannon camera that it's not a or a continual shot camera and then I got it look grainy and Sony focus that I was like all right they're gonna be to be calm we're gonna make the clip my fucking a camp but I need you to work in my work you go out every 20 right you know that why you know how I start I never been on camera right that's how I start because it's like it's out of necessity it was a slow it was a slow rollout yeah yeah you know I'm saying I went on camera for like a year that's what I didn't have a mic for like six months but why in the fuck would you want to be there it's not the fact that I wanted to be people demanded it who is big cat who does voice we keep him behind the camera what do you look like I had to kill my mother fuck itself he's still not I'm still not on now I'm still not the only time he showed up on camera is when we do shit like yeah right because it's like they might they might die man I'm saying we push up you with me but it's crazy though because people knew who I was without seeing me yeah working you know working the smooth man yeah working the smooth and I hear what I said about what you think about woke and I and why they why there's terms for the community I don't know I don't know I don't know all right I'm saying that was negative time what can be I I'm saying they co-opted yeah okay like whoa co-opted to meet me infiltrated yeah yeah it's all so the skies real boys and Alabama was a big thing what these young men was being accused of raping a white woman of course and they they're trying to railroad the boy defense it of course you know the same playbook over you know I said like this is the same playbook same playbook over you 57 fake man you need a plug and play like I put a mission like a motherfucker rainbow white one right down you got them through but it's fucked up but it's a reality let Belly was a musician that coined the time as he was taught he was making a song and kind of making a statement about the Scott's bird boy he said man y'all stay woke out of it and we talking about silver rights and this is a keep your eyes open like like watch out for the bullshit you know what I'm saying you're gonna be outside stay woke is in those sleep stay but stay woke you're gonna keep more yeah when we start talking about you can get the Africa from the Grand Canyon say what you can get the Africa from the Grand Canyon you know they won't you say get the Africa from the Grand Canyon you know shit like that man man man I'm telling you that when I say it can't you but wait a minute let's not just this that's not what I was going with it but they call it they call it no they call it no wait a minute let me circle back to that the reason why I say co-opt it is because anytime things were for the advancement of black people women or people of color they say this is a woke agenda when the reality is what was about black people being vigilant about their surroundings and any laws that try to pass that what undue our rights is about crazy yo awareness white people took that's it especially specifically white right when Republicans conservative Christian nationalists took this and said anything that got something to do with niggas is what anything that got something to do with advancement women is what anything that got something to do that with anybody that's not white straight and Christian smoke yeah it's specifically white straight men you did what I'm saying so because they all roll back they women's rights too reproductive right yeah you know what you sound saying so I'm talking about the co-opt of these words I'm not talking about what do you word me these is powerful words but these things are have a rich historical history of stay woke nigga like stay woke it's like 10 niggas stay black you know what I'm saying it's like it's like keep keep it real yeah stay dangerous it's it's in that vein you know what I'm saying D.I. are the same thing this is an attempt to meritocracy diversity equity and inclusion this is we're not just gonna keep the saying good old white system going of politics of business I'm gonna pass this job down to my son but we're gonna implement a practice but you're supposed to but you would make sure your son is adequate yeah we're talking about niggas I'll also be ready to fire him too you see what I'm saying this is not the this is not the different practice well I think D.I. don't think that it's necessarily it's it's in the name diversity equity and inclusion I don't think that it helped as many black people as black it does the number one benefit the first white women but it's the thing this is what I go back to the woke shit they're leaving trick they own people in a thing and it's shit about niggas when it's about them too you ain't niggas you ain't plan to trick your son fucking over there no yeah black people fucking him over as well yeah black people was actually like the fifth or sixth benefit of D.I. but it was an attempt at meritocracy where we're not just gonna have the the good old white system I'm passed the job down to whoever nicks in line I'm gonna go try to find the best person for the job this for the advancement of the job and for the people in a fit but I think all of the things that they're trying to put in place right now really just every day oh yeah oh yeah yeah you don't tighten a grip until it's start getting a little bit until you start like man panting muller yeah they are panting mulling yeah anytime people operate like they live in harmony together the nature of the white man but great question that's not it's not in nature of the white man but it's not in the nature I'm sorry I had to go my five percent bad I had to go my five percent of bad just it's not the nature of the white man brother to live in harmony it's not the nature but it's not a it's not a historical the harmonious people hey man what's it's happy that oh shit oh no let's circle back uh yeah yeah yeah when the whole tip niggas hijacked the word whoa you know then they started making outrageous claims outrageous claims it's niggas and told this is niggas brother listen he had built the big following and the y'all was the same bro he was telling niggas that there was major energy portals and and and Dallas Atlanta basically anywhere with niggas whatever they smoke hooker yeah yeah yeah that was the portal the god damn hooker that's how they open their mouth okay listen my nigga he gets your sex he gets your hooker if you got if you got hooker and don't hooker a repressado you are in a part of my brother yeah so listen he started telling niggas about these so listen I'm I'm tapped in with the thing because I'm like this this type of person I am even if I don't agree with you if people listen to you what the fuck is you talking about I watch his nigga live one day niggas greets you up six pack up he was he was first boy he started live no shirt no shirt no shirt oil oh god I'm watching this shit so he started shit off sound boy he getting niggas hip in the time he he working his big one the

So what I do believe is whatever they've told me ain't right. - It's not what-- - It can't be the whole truth. It ain't right, it ain't got to be a big ball, the spines, and all that old shit with these other shit, the spear, and it ain't got to be flat either. - I got a pint of this, the astrophysicist, and pretty much whatever he tell me, I believe it. - Yeah. - That's what he say. - The earth is mine. - Yeah. - But look, though. - He taught me about the leverage. - Yeah. - How else you explain the seasons night? - Huh? - How you explain all that? - Up and down, I mean, come on, bro. - Not up and down. - Up and down. - It's crazy. - I think he's cheating. - I listen. - He could be just as much up and down. - The earth spines, the earth spines, bro. - How about this? - The earth spines. - The head of fucking remote.

Which is, it's healthy to discuss. - It's human nature. - It is, it's human nature. - It's human nature. - It's human nature. - It's human nature. - It is. - It's land beyond. - It's not. - Okay, cool. - The earth flat. - The earth flat. - It's not flat. - Okay, cool. - I don't know, I don't know. - You can walk through the Grand Canyon and get the earth.

Whether this bitch round or flat. You still going to the mechanic. - I'm going to keep it around. - Keep it around. - Keep it around. - If you feel like-- - It's fine because we need to engage in curiosity. - I don't want-- - Yes. I think if you already have the answer. But if you already think you have the answer, you'll never find out. So I think it's healthy to engage in curiosity. I think it's more efficient to aim that curiosity is the things that we can actually affect change in our life. - That makes sense. - You worried about the earth flat. You don't know the county corner. (laughing) You don't know the sheriff. You don't know the mayor. - Fuck the earth, nigga. (laughing) What about the county? Yeah, let's start small.

And it's like, some of these things you can do are simple. If you know the steps to doing. And you telling me the moon is out of light. Well, I shut the fuck up. Shut up. - Okay, I would just throw some conspiracy theories out there. - I'm just throwing my, I'm just throwing my, I'm just throwing my, I'm just throwing my, I'm just throwing shit out there. - The firm of me. What about it? - True, false real fake. - How do you got started like in space? - Huh? - How did you get started like in space right now? - Well, I mean, it could be before the failure. - Well, they could be, they, they not passed the firm. They said like, they were before we get to the year to meet. - Before we get to the year to meet. - Before the year to meet. (laughing) - This is my third bro. - I think you're real. A lot of this shit brought down to, I don't care. (laughing) - Real. - Like, it is interesting to talk about. And then it's like, man, man. - What is the other one more? - It is. - But so, curiosity is a great thing though. Like, we need, first of all, anything. - It's in the fucking bag. - Do you remember, first of all, you was famous in this time. - Yeah. - 2010, the 2013. - You still think of famous. - You're still famous. This is the point I'm making. - A little less, but. (laughing) - Couldn't use it. (laughing) - That was out of the head. - I don't know what you're saying. You can't, you can't capitalize. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I can't, but listen. - I hope that's true. (laughing) - We might get either out of this conversation.

Kill the king, um, great, great, kill the king. We're looking forward to it, bro, but like, uh, you know, we appreciate you having us here. Uh, you know, it's a pleasure to have you. Yeah, man. You know, truly, truly inspiration. Thank you. It's, it's better that you write up the street. Yeah. We're going to reach out to you. But, man, you know, you are truly a story of perseverance. Thank you. I'm in resilience. Thank you. And you still here. Thank you. And you'll go out on top. And a lot of niggas can't say that. And listen, because you still outrepping me. Thank you. I appreciate you. You did. I appreciate it. I feel the need to say, thank you. Um, um, um, um, humble. I appreciate the kind word, but I must make you aware of the fact that the glory of this should go to God. I mean, like, if it were, could I try to put this shit up a long time ago, if it was not for the grace of God, listen, man. I would not be here, bro. Yeah. You know, I mean, the times I went out my way to fuck this shit up and God's purpose for me is what keeps me here. So I, I receive what you say, and I thank you, I do, but God did the reason. And I can't think of that. I ain't trying to be. Man, sorry. It's a God. And God, God in the way, he the way, man, um, we were talking about firearms. And I posed this question to most people who don't have an answer because they probably choose not to dive beneath the surface. The charge I was arrested for, if I'm not mistaken, I think it's a 922 G on the federal. If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong. Anyway, whatever that is, it was a possession of a firearm by a convicted fellow. Yeah. Now in my research and my studies, I have found that federal laws are based off of the gallows of the Constitution, no, Constitution, Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms. Those rights or that right is inalienable. You know what, inalienable means, it's okay if you don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my cool, okay, inalienable means it can't be taken away or given away. So, if the right to bear arms is an inalienable right, how are there so many people doing time because they had a firearm as a fellow? Well, not even that, here's the thing, you got a loophole that can say it is illegal to enslave a person unless they break the law. So, once this person breaks the law, they lose all of their rights because they are now a slave, everything you do post-slavery, the big slavery is having an F on you, they're felonies. This is stop your own voting rights, this is a dictate where you can be. So, you no longer require, you no longer have the rights to the Constitution. This is a loophole, you got to know, they love a loophole, great loophole, you know what I'm saying? But even inalienable in the Constitution, does it, it doesn't supersede felonies. How well, okay, so here's the thing, you know, all men are created equal. While I own a slave, that's a crazy one. Well, you know what I'm saying? So, I think anything that man makes is good for the goose, not necessarily good for the gander. And yeah, so, if you have a great lawyer who can articulate this, then yeah, you'll be seen to the highest extent of law. For lawyers, let me tell you some, the lawyers ain't able to argue this point because the lawyers have to, in order to practice law, they must pass the bar. The bar, it, it makes pretty much it says that they can't like fight against the secrets that they know or learn. Yeah, you know, we can get into like, black, you know, you have to get someone who has been disbarred, but still has the information. Yeah, because the thing is, is that at the end of the day, if you're not in the lineage of the people who wrote the Constitution, then you must subject to the Constitution. And what they willing to give and what they willing to take away, so yeah, so like, in Alien, Alien, but then they'll call you an alien. Amen. This has been a phenomenal discussion, man. I really love y'all, Paul, I think anybody out there, if you watching anybody's Paul, you need to go and get up the speed on grit and it because the shit, they bring you that. Absolutely, man.

(laughing) - Y'all ain't scared to get counseled at me. - No, man, they said-- - It's an antichrist. - Yeah, they don't call me the antichrist, bro. - What? - Uh, you know, I was talking about having reverence and acknowledging our ancestors that came before us and Niggas was like, they dead, they in hell. - Hell, hell. - Yeah, they said, you know, so, um, you know, that telling Niggas to stop being around their partners when they being weird with the girls. - Yeah. - You know what the girls is in? - You know, being aggressive, making the girls uncomfortable. - You know what they ain't never like, man, and some of my partners have done this, and you know what I'm saying? We don't have talks about it, and, you know, I don't know, let me, let me, let me, let me see what you're saying. Everybody got a partner in their crew. There's like this, and they may take this shit as far or not as far, but when the girl ain't digging them, they just get the actin' funny. - Man. - They get the actin', you know what I'm saying? - And before they fuck the vibe of Niggas, gotta be like, bruh, chill out, bro. - Chillin' won't you, bro. - And then point, you being like, bro, we, we, we, we, we. - Yeah, I saw, like, go for what you know, bro. Shout out for the fuckin' witch. - Yeah, you know what I'm sayin' there, you know what I'm sayin'? - It's plinin' more fuckin' out there. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And if this ain't the crew for you, this ain't the crew for you, sometimes you gotta hit, you gotta hit that wall. You gotta post it, you gotta barbed the head to the moon. It's night night, not my night. - But any time, what was the back leg? I don't understand what the back leg was. - You know, I used the word accountability, and you know. - I don't, you know. - Accountability, you didn't tell the woman to be accountable, did you? - No, I told Niggas to be. - I told you why, man, we have a problem with that. - Well, shit, yeah, bro, you'll be surprised because the way that I framed it is that, basically, you know, when women have apprehension with men, that they don't know, that's approaching them, they might be a little standoff in shit like that, because they have dealt with weird ass Niggas, and I was like, so you're accountable to that behavior. You're not responsible for it, but you're accountable to that in the way that she approaches you, stranger, and they go, I ain't accountable for nothing. They're gonna do it, they're gonna do it, it's like, you don't know words. So we gonna start there. - But we're doing it. - I ain't saying responsible. - You have to have a sister, a mom, a daughter. - Man, you talking, now we talking about logic. (laughing) Now we talking about common sense, and you know what I felt tell us, common sense ain't what. - So common. - You did what I was saying. I mean, but then at the end of the day, I think that everybody could live better in life if they just treated people how they wanted to be treated. - Yeah, but so then we talk about the fact- - They don't matter what, they mama, they daughter, they sister, they cause it to be treated. - I think on the surface, that's a very good thing. We don't account for how people, how shitty people treat themselves. So then they project that out to the world. So not only is expectation for people to treat me shitty, but I'm a true true shitty because I think you're gonna treat me shitty. 'Cause a lot of motherfuckers ain't, you know, a lot of people ain't out here loving themselves, or the lack of love is a projection of the real. So I'm gonna project on you whatever I feel being done to me. - That's true. And my research I found there are two emotions, love and fear, and you got all these other derivatives of love and fear, you know what I'm saying? - That's a love and fear gotta cause this picture. - I mean, you came good, well, well, well. - You need a healthy fear? - Well, you know, fear keep you sharp. - The God says there can be no up without down, no left, without right, no end, without out, no hat, without cold, no good, without bad. So there must be a balance. - So just like you got love, you got hate, you got fear, you got unfettered confidence. - Yeah. - You did what I'm saying, it's all a spectrum. - Then we can do this shit out. (laughing) I'm gonna let y'all go know what y'all day, man. I thank you all and here, expeditiously, we have some called the word of the day. Now the word of the day is usually a word that has been, it's thought of and dedicated to the guess of the discussion from the episode. And the word of the day dedicated to you guys is disconcerting, disconcerting. Disconcerting is someone whose actions or words upset the composure of others. (laughing) And I would say, some of Brisson's statements although accurate may be disconcerting to some with extreme insecurities. There we have it. That is the word of the day dedicated to my man. That part. Deontay, Big Cat, from Gritzenet, the part care, go check it out. And this has been, expeditiously. This is expeditiously, I am too. See ya, I am. (upbeat music)

Summary:

T. Cal and Big Cat reflect on the origins of their podcast, Gritzen Eggs, rooted in authenticity, community, and unfiltered dialogue about Black life, culture, and systemic challenges. They emphasize the need for critical thinking, grounded in research and personal experience, to understand how historical and social systems have oppressed Black people.

Central to their view is the celebration of academic and personal success—particularly for Black youth—as a form of resistance against a culture that often overlooks or devalues such achievements. They critique the co-opting of terms like "woke," which have been weaponized by dominant institutions to marginalize Black voices and movements. Instead, they advocate for reclaiming Black knowledge, history, and self-worth—highlighting African heritage, pre-colonial civilizations, and the real historical presence of Africans in global development.

The conversation stresses the importance of seeing Black people as whole, capable, and worthy of respect, not just as victims or stereotypes. Through personal stories, historical analysis, and cultural reflection, they call for a deeper, more honest conversation about power, identity, and progress—one that values truth, resilience, and the courage to speak up in the face of systemic bias.

It emphasizes that cultural awareness begins in early life, through family and community, and that understanding history—like the roots of African civilizations—helps people recognize their place in a broader global context.
