Published Aug 17, 2023, 10:00 AM

Listen to this inspiring conversation between rap legends D.O.C and Killer Mike cohosted by Tezlyn Figaro at Astute Gentlemen Barber and Cigar Lounge in Dallas, Texas. 

Yeah, don't want to ask your question.

Let's just keep it real straight shot with no Chase, I'm gonna get a little bit rougher.

Wait.

I'm here for those who really believe in the American process, all of us Street Shot no Chase with your girl Chessel figure out on the Black Effect podcasting that well, thank you everybody for being here. We want to get this conversation with Killer Mike started. I know d O C will be leading you know, the discussion podcasts, brothers will hear the barbershop.

Thank you everybody.

Dallas will come and stand up for Dallas. Give yourself around, BEFO. Sup will be in the building, a place I still call home.

Yeah, a little high holy right now, so appreciate it.

Before so before I give it to you, guys, I did just want to ask this question Mike, just so we kind of set the tone when we talked about, you know, what could we do for those.

That don't know.

Killer Mike and I work together on a Bernie Sanders campaign, you know, all over the country. And this was in twenty fifteen, before people knew who Bernie Sanders was. People would say I would have to say, you know, the one with the gray hair, and this is that, you know, literally when nobody knew him, a very small African American outreach team on the national level, Killer Mike was one of the surrogates there. We had a chance to meet and work with each other and really push the line what I call to really get people not to get necessarily behind Bernie Sanders, but to get behind policy that we.

Felt, you know, was important service for real.

Now y'all want to see somebody check the secret service, Killer Mike.

That's what I said. That is my brother from another mother.

So college, yeah, college camp. They just forget what they were.

Yeah, yeah, So I fell in love with him and his beautiful wife, Cliche in the building, who I absolutely loved.

The couple's goals do everything together.

But I did want to When I said, Mike, what can we do or what can I do to really elevate this album and the message of the album, he says, since let's just do like we do on a campaign trail, Let's go to barbershops and have conversations with Mike. It wasn't about, you know, a big crowd or a certain amount.

It was just really important that it was a barbershop.

The first question, and then everybody else, can you know, chime in from here?

Why the barbershop?

To me, that's the safest place for black men to talk, you know what I mean?

We we actually I've had organizations come here because I always my wife and I always franchise barbershops called the slash shop.

We all, we all.

And what I found is that if you want to win a mayor oil exaction year.

You're gonna take you but to the barber shops and do the shop and strip clubs too. To be honest, if you want black men to know about health, whether it's cardiovascular, whether it's mental health, the easiest way to do it because.

The safest place is a barbershop.

You know, brothers won't talk to their wives, won't talk to each other, that work, theyn't getting a barbershop. They discussed everything I learn there in ny Ussey from mental illness of prostate council day. You know, they came through my shops talking about it. So for whatever reason, they feels safe. And since I was a little boy, I've learned things. I've never went to the barber shop, and I learned something, you know what I'm saying. Even if whether it's just getting the good weed that they can't do that at my barbershop. So I just said that, you know, whether it was a campaign trailer, even in discussion with my record, I just wanted to go with black men that felt safe to be black mens. What better place and then just work the class mean people. A lot of times when we say black men, we don't realize were talking about truly just a worker class.

You know. You know I saw and Charleston I was did Charleston, South Carolina.

Brother came up to the white boy with the braves Calbol so I knew I liked them already.

We chilling the same baseball team and he said, man, I'm just full like wasn't Apple?

And I identify with every single thing on the ALP, you know, from shed Tears to Slummer to Motherless, get all.

In them and that's our ultimately all I want to ever do.

That's right, that's important. Uh from my perspective, uhh. To the racism really almost as nothing to do with coming and everything.

Yeah, this country definitely a classes.

It's just easy to identify because it's you know, we were a cornerstone and making this country because we were prelated, but they used, they used, they used half used, and we'll use poor white Yeah they have, and we'll use poor Latinos.

You know, this country, this country thrives off that, you know in some in some way.

Once we get our all ship together, we'll figure out solidarity on a broader basis.

Why Fred Hafton was trying.

To right, that's right by the way. I want to my boy Jeff and Stute allowing us to come int the more music there because it's we talk all the time in them.

Yeah, so that when someone test called me this perfect spot didn't get these conversations started.

Uh, and we thanked them, grateful that you showed up.

We we've been spending your records since you know, and it has that classic where there's a there is there's the Atlanta that see how I lived in Atlanta ninety five through ninety nine.

Soone freaking it was spreading.

You was right with us. But there was a sound.

And the closest thing I could describe, Uh, it's just Dungeon family. There's a sound that came.

From those men that is embodied in some of this work that you have to me back to when Bath was great.

I mean.

Yeah, No matter what the.

Subject was, the soul came from the souls. You know.

They were a mentor rego with Ray and sleeping with me. A story about Courtais Mayfield. Like I tell people that, I said, you could take the same sample the four different Southern cities and get a different sound.

And that's what's beautiful about the South.

When they used to just pass ou as the region to the people in New York and now they they didn't make no distinsions between Dallas.

And Houston or Atlanta the worst land.

But we know if you take the Courtis Mayfield sample, but Atlanta taking Dallas, taking to Houston taking the mefis take it. Bam, You're gonna get different sounds and you feel the same sumple. So I really was Ray Murray when we first started recording record, Michael, he came in and told me acause like here at the and my an r is just one of my best friends, like a brother to me. He said, all right, essentially, y'all got do two things. He said, this gotta be distinctly something. It cannot be a hype. Asked to this Southern record, and he said, and then they gotta be his cohesive at the chronic and he walked out and so and we sat.

There like what the.

Like this niggas told we have to match the Southerners of Outcast Goodie moll balling and k and then yup, you gotta be you gotta be this cohesive a the chrodate and I hope that I hope that we've achieved a golden Yeah, yes, sir, And.

If you had, you had the perfect team to do that, because they're perfectly suited like it. It's uh back back in that gap and in that time period. From my perspective, that's what the sound was because I you know, I did my point in the sound, so I knew I related to it because I touched it because it was nigga and it was all sudden, you know. And uh, you know, I'm really close to to uh Atlanta. I love and learn us so much because I spent some very formative years.

Yeah.

When you mean when y'all was there, I'm here thinking about mc greed was there too?

Was there?

Power had opened? Who tanks story? You guys.

The beautiful part about Atlanta is it's one of the cities where you ain't got to be from there. To be from there, and I just got to come and contribute. Ye, and it accepts, you know, it's excepting all My grandmother came in nineteen fifteen, my grandfather that got there in nineteen forty. They neighborhoods got built in forty six, to call your heights. I grew up all black neighborhood, all black uncleave. You know, different people made different amounts of money, So you just got to run around. All My heroes and dealers look like.

Me in mind.

People that what I love about Atlanta's black folks from all over the world come there and contribute to the culture. It really is a black culture in which is multi layered, you know what I mean, It's diverse, and I'm just I'm proud to be a product of the city and proud to be a product of the era of music where you know, again, like you know, people taking a joke and say, oh, man, you're a legend. You know all that, you know the mess that gives you to try to dismiss you because you had such a profound impact on my life in terms of mark I literally told my partner will and have my mouth. I said, man, I said, you know, I said the next album. I said, Man, you know my goal? He said what I said, Man, I ain't gonna cuss. Gotta do it like doc with no curve bord.

It's hard. I like me to such a profound influence that that.

I'm just like I remember finding out you some doubt and it just because again at the time, we was just a regional in New York LA. Finding out that one of the biggest you know, because the end up you ain't Q meant everything. Finding out on you. You wanted the contributor to thread, the writer, the help shape up. Man, you don't know what it did for us. It gave us a sense of pride, sensor I can DoSM. That's why I'm pried to be with you today.

Give it up, Give it up, legend.

I don't you know you? To me, you are You're just You're a bar that's to be met, and I appreciate trying to meeting.

I give off, you know, but I understand now, I got this documentary and I'm trying to get out in the streets and in this documentary, which was a cathartic experience for me. But I understand now is none of it was me in the person place, and then all these things started with a prayer and that I'm still living in that prayer, and now is the time that the manifestations in that prayer.

Like guard give of our own relition, and I'm gonna.

Get ready to like, yo, do you know what he did when he made me? You know, he said, I'm gonna make me a cold, little arrogant one. Can't talk that talk because when I need him to talk for me, I'm gonna need him to be that. And so I'm trying to.

Find my way back to that after that, after that accident, she knows has a ball so to take a lot of you know, But like I said, and I'm had this conversation many times.

We just found him seeing y'all the order.

And this goes back three or four or five years ago when I had my first son and trying to get my particulars in order.

Seeing you man or on.

The web really put you on and so into into going back to these communities. They're making a real difference. I'm talking about not just to that service. I'm talking about beyond the politicals of conversation.

I'm talking I just go do it.

Got my brother from down here when I got to address a brother man because it's Januar, I'm enter tame. But I understand my man asked Charles the white ut god god. He said, full of hot, full of yeah, yeah, yeah, and absolutely I have human bodies, not eight degrees on, full.

Of how they are.

Once was a time where I was an actual.

Organizer on the ground who she was to and I got lucky enough to get the lottery and get to live the life I want to. And now I'm a mobilizer like a Doctor king and it's last year's was a mobilizer.

SCLC did a.

Great job organizing the first and by the time Snick came along them young kids is really organized.

Yeah.

When Doctor Kingdom would do what come and they helped mobilize and get those trials together. So I absolutely understand you know his notion for saying that, But I just like to let the brother know that I absolutely do work on the ground. But I'm hyper vocal, so you may never see me giving no money to whatever organizations you may know identify. But I just want to let the brother know if he checks with the Georgia Used Bill program, which take the children from fourteen to twenty four gives them a trade, gets some high school diplomas and gets them on the path out of bullshit and then to work for us to build families so our daughters that have men to marry, our daughters to know how to do things on they all around the trades absolutely support that with money and with time. And also Next Level Boys Academy which steers boys away from exorbit sentences and boys that petty beefs getting them together that. So there are two organizations in particularly, I'm really very strong is another. You know, I was started by Homie that was a sixty, but he started the program that makes sure kids and teachers have what they need. So I just wanted him to know that he's an organization. So I'm still full of hot there, I absolutely am. But those three organizations are ones that I support, and I love you to support it and support his organization. hYP you know, I don't know what they're doing locally, but I hope they're doing something because I heard an interview by him and it was compelling because I understood we a lot of life.

Really we just.

Heartbroken organized because when you're organizing and you expect the legions to be behind you, I remember I'm saying he was fighting against the police brutality, and my heart went out in his inter before he said he looked.

Around, he was byself.

You know, you thought that people are gonna be with him, and oftentimes our people so beat down and they never seen organizer.

Know So I just want to know.

I understand everything you do, and I understand why you talk shit while you're ridly cue because that's what our people vibrate at little level. But I understand you're leading people into a better pathway. So if I need to be the butt of a joke or the muse or some agitation, I don't mind being that because I understand what it is to be as traded organizer, and I wish him followed success.

I heard that.

To meet.

Yeah, he funny his hell and it's nigga fosson. Now I don't know who's gonna fight. I saig runnup over. He's gonna be flushing. But I respect anyone passion enough about the community. This challenge people who are considered giants, and I accept my challenge. But I'm working hype of open Nigga ain't gona never get no money out of me in no city because I'm not in your city.

But if you come to.

Atlanta, ride around whoever you ride around with, besides who you ride around.

With, and you ask about me, you can see I actually do work on the ground.

I'd be in the schools in the daytime with Greg Street, and then I be helping the mamas in the strip.

Club at night.

That's right.

I'm going to continue to do what I've been doing. But I want to tell people who get criticized, don't be so quick to holler back. Just keep doing the work.

You know.

I saw Tession do the work on the ground for years and years and years, and people not pay her the attention she deserved. So I started yelling anybody who was listening, whether it was Charllenage and daughter or whether it was politicians, because I was determined revolt to somebody's gonna hear.

You, because she's doing new work.

To look at people like attorney being from all that nigga making money. He's a lawyer that I went to law school to make money.

Actual didn't right, But he's.

The one that got their sister who steals were stolen. He's got scrammed that money back.

So you need everybody. My grandparents. You don't talk.

My grandfather's fascian like you the pearlair. My grandmother's a very dark one. Why not be just brown woman? He loved him death. But my grandfather helped me understand. You know, when Harriet came, you know, youven niggas in the house and let folks tho folks is come into you know. I met people that were revolutionaries in a state uniform fout police officers and they let a little boy go. You know, I've seen people who I thought they'd give a damn about black folks because they were conservative whatever we but every Sunday they was the ones leading leading feet in the homeless at the church.

You know.

So I just understand that that you know, there's gonna be many pastor freedom. I gotta be on the same bus. But I'm gonna see you when I.

Get That's exactly right.

Poor most us off or in the stace.

If we could judge anybody know, so many paths that God created for people to walk down.

And that's his and this is yours and this is my you know, and I.

Respect your brother. Anybody doing the work, I respect you if you if you just do the work you just now.

I don't want to go to none of the fans because I don't know what's gonna happen.

A yeah, but I respect what he doing.

It's past and how he's trying to get up to these days.

Nothing else. He's created discussion and all of us. That's all of this. But if you know you're not gonna agree with that, but just discussion is crazy.

After after you get angry and your fellows get roughle, what are you gonna do. That's that's why I think, like you know, people talk. One of my best rids, like a brother than me, is t We opened the restaurant together now called Banking Sef. My wife and Crystal led led the way on. You know, make sure to get open. I think it about sixty ninety days away from opening. That's gonna bring at least forty to fifty jobs to that community. It's gonna make sure the community if we grew up here and sold dunk rights on that street, that community now is the family gonna be as a coming. It used to be a takeout, Go get your big box of chicken. They ain't gonna be able to sit with your family, sit on the rooftop. You ain't got to go forty minutes to Buckhead. You don't have to go twenty minutes down to the South. I ain't gonna right down in your own community. So right down the street, right in front of the k out everybody, you still dope at. Tim built one hundred and forty three affordable.

House, Yes he did.

And my thing is, Jill. If you don't talk about the day, it's like when I tell you about a woman. Now, if you're gonna talk about the two times I fucked up in there, come home, you got to talk about the other three hundred and.

Sixty three days I.

Live right, three days, two days I fucked up, that's right.

But the another three hundred and sixty three to my wife, they laughed, and we had to save my home on dice and the sun and beat me up, you know, but we have to. We have to give each other grace. That's also you know I give and our actual grace. If my grandfather told me, you know, don't embarrass yourself, take care of you and your sisters. Don't embarrass me and your mama's name, and don't ebrriage black folks. And if you fuck up, apologize.

And I have one room with my crew.

I said, we fucked up, we apologize and then and you get forgiven. And we never talked about it that. It's that something because if you keep talking about just reopening wanting the black folks, sometimes we get to reopening, apologize, how can we make it right?

And then we make it right and we just keep going.

Yeah, all day. I wanted to ask you a question. Man, I've been listening to your music for a long time. Yes, you know, and this this album for me, listening to the album definitely shows the change in you. You know, So when you when you sat down and thought about that, what were you What was your thought process?

I think I've always done it.

I don't think it's bessarire a change, but you started fully met fully accepting.

Me in that maturation. You know. He was my first album, manster You know is the record Mama how on on the sell Crack No More?

I was a drug deal a lot I wanted to I was like, these niggas don't kill me, like Nigga Gotta dropped out of more House. And I thought at first of all I got into more House, they didn't think that ship out I'd have dropped out pursue music, ended up pursuing fourteen pounds a week. When I got my man big bus saving, I said, hey, nigga, he was gonna be a drug.

Dealer on a rap. What the fuck is you gonna want?

So I've been on my path, but what I had to understand is that until you fully except you, the world ain't gonna help you. And I I stopped chasing. I stopped chasing whatever sound was popular. I stopped chasing what I think people would want. I got with a team of people that really believe in who I was, and over the last decade, I've been a runner Jewel best rapp group for the world going to day of my figure. So my focus was I learned to discipline myself, focus on making run the Jewels for this should be.

And what Tobe did was give me an opportunity to toorrow that.

Like the girl I convinced to drop out of nursing school at the nurse my ass at fourteen days, I was like, I'm feeling, oh, like damn, this is it. And not only is this it, I got these solo demos and shit out and did and I've never introduced the world to me and know me in proxy to outcasts ignor me in proxy and my boy T how they know me in proxy to my.

Rap partner LP and run the Jews that they never met Michael.

And when I came out of that man, I was just like, Yeah, I really gonna introduce people to who I am so they can get an explanation, understand why I am because I feel like I feel like black people would get it. I and I didn't understand, but I did start to understanding. Working class people period are gonna get it. And I just wanted to make sure before I got out of here that people knew who I was.

Absolutely.

So I have a question asked you about the Michael albums.

It's a self titled yeah, and it's your life yeah, track to track you marriage or so.

Yeah. Question is being that transparent? Yeah? I just I feel there's not a question, it's a statement.

I really feel like you set the ball high for a lot of rappers nowadays, faith feel like they have to, you know, put on airs or.

Live up to an image.

So with the Michael album you gave us transparency from beginning from.

Track one to the ending. Yeah.

So how does how do you feel with this body of your work after you put it out to the masses, Because twenty eight years ago your your your co part Andre three thousand said, the South got something to say.

Yeah you still think the voice is still loud in the same Yeah, we because we saw we sold out first. You don't ship. They don't just ride horses in Houston. I'm here two miles horse far myself all black horse farm. The kids, you know, like we we have. But they think we about Cady calls.

They think then we are They think we just about strip pluzz and we all but man, we helped shape the craft of West Coast music. We we we we still ride around all horses still were still on the farm. My great brand fans about nineteen fort eight. So what I wanted to show people is that that there is there's layers that you kill off of black Basket living in black Mail hood. You know, we all not defined by Yankees, Captain Timberland Boots. We all not defined by La cap and Dickie suit. We want Dickie suits in the South. But it was because we was gay back. It was because our granddaddy worked at the fucking mechanic shop. So you got them by my granddaddy. The blue Diggie suit. Shit, I'm gonna give me a blue Dickie suit. You have on some joints, you know what I mean. So you know, I remember one of the most valuable thing you've wearing my high school was the green Dishey suit. Cause that was so that you couldn't get them anywhere else, you know what I'm saying. So you'll see a sixty year old kid or a twenty five dollar dig suit outfigure you got one hundred and fifty dollars bucks on which of Clark Waller beef. And that's how he let you know I got some money.

Just you know what I'm saying, Just like old be and yold me.

You grand daddy might your granddaddy might have on a flannel shirt, but that watch ain't inexpensive.

So I learned just the subities of who we are valuable. So for me, the South is always gonna have something to say.

Fifty folks center African Americans living in the South. Like the book The Devil you Know by Charles Bloke, implores us to go back to the South. You know, if places like Dallas we have not only an economic advantage.

We have a political advantage in our numbers.

Used Dallas used Houston, use Orlando used Tampa, used chawfter Atlanta burming hair. Use these places as fortresses. Like I said through the speech, half people like half people don't. When I was telling that speech that when I did the speech in Atlanta in twenty, I was drinking Moett, smoking weed with Noriega in front of the bank Head Zeprad truck, and my buddy Tell said, well, a male called me and said she wants to come up here because it looks like the riots might pivot left.

Now, if they pivot left, they pivot directly into our neighbors.

You're not gonna let them pivot, right, because that's why they're sure the buildings at the court prices all right.

But if they pivot left, they burned down the neighborhoods we grew up in.

So I said what she called them, right, wand blah, I'm not going nowhere right And an hour later he said, well, man, you know after average man, He said, man, if you don't go, aint going, and then he just pulled a club. I'm just like, God, damn it. You know, it's like when you're probably saying, hey, we riding, I gotta go to that. I end up going and speaking. But I told people it's our duty not to burn down our own house in a time of angle, but to be a fortification in times of organized because I feel like there's certain places where we dominate and he can apply more power if we do a Teseslin Figuraro is doing it, going in places, teaching people how to win local offices. And then so what's the purpose of teaching people how to win a local office. It's certain people so angry with Michael on the second time around he didn't support someone.

On the campaign. Did they forget that?

I was instrut remembering getting Keisha las Volunte elected before her for same re elected. Our current mayor, Andre Dickens elected, John Alsoff elected and war Not elected twice.

But what is that matter? Our mayor cares about affordable house It's getting impossible for time work class.

People live what they are. I've seen Europe souse. I've been around the world four five times.

In Europe.

If you work at the city in Paris, you live twenty minutes outside the city. I don't want to see our cities become that and our grandmama still allays onto them. So what I'm saying, so how do we keep that? You keep that by getting state representatives elected. They can take their ass to DC and say, sending that federal money funding down here, And what happens board home housing projects which has got torn down with shady low live. Now it's about to be a mixed income community in which you can.

Buy a home or rental home. And what does that set? What good did that sit make? Michael?

Well, that makes it if you got to rich folks, black folks living right next to work class white folks, you got better schools.

Because how your taxes being paid by? Then well I'm a product of that. Nigga. That ain't no theory. That's Collyer Heights Elementary, Frederick Douglas High School, more House College output. A nigga like me, Nigga like me, help you, let healthy help win elections.

This money comes down and now you get to reinentrofy the same community and you get to replicate the same things. But it's a process. It don't just happen like a Lincoln magic. It happens when you support.

People like teds and say this is how you run and this is how you win.

It happens once you get those people elected to call them a task and say that money's coming, that money better find his way. You just stop on boards me And if you don't know, you're not clear state you have to do that. Find somebody who is. And do they tell you to do?

You know?

For me, I say, I give it time. You can be angry with me for the moves I make. And that's five the time of tale I met with the Republican Covenant. Everybody lost their goddamn man, nigga, I pay tentions. I'm never gonna get my money in a white man and not talk to them gave money. Thisation I had with them was around trade schools, a leading a pathway to trade schools, in particular for African American voice is where are going to pologize the same?

Well? Not well? Mike? What?

What?

What does that mean?

That means that this year he signed into law the return of the Hawk Scholarship. The Host Scholarship gives kids with a B average, not an A not an A plus, not a a B average free tuition for state schools, including trades.

School So now all the little boys who were coming to me. What I need to do. I want to be an engineer.

Noah, Now let's let's let's let's we get to signed off engineering school. But let's make sure you know how to build a studio. It makes you you know carpentry, plumbing, and electricity, you know what I mean. Now, all these boys got a chance go to school to pool. My nephew, you's got a chance go to pool for free. But if I wouldn't have never met with the man, ain't been a part of the saying, hey, you gotta do this, you gotta do this. Would he have done it? Now, don't win every argument with him. I call him and said, please don't sign and met with him in this administration, Please.

Don't sign in the law of gang.

It has been billed. He signed into the bill. I told mommy, I disagree with it. I understand public fear. So what I gotta do Now I gotta run around and talk about fifteen to twenty prosecutors. You have the option not to use this bill to prosecute this young man. This is the next level boys academy. Let's at least give them an opportunity to do that.

So that what does that matter?

That matters because this white Republican govern saw a project called Project Pinnacle, started by African American Democrat judge named Rosha Jackson, who I've known since I was a child. She starts the Pinnacle program. You coming to her court first time, getting in trouble, bullshit, crazy shit, assault drug. She said, I'm going to give you a year to clean your shit up. After that year we'll reevaluate. If so, we'll wipe it exposure. You'll be okay. That program is so successful in the Cab County that our white Republican governor then found another Democratic woman in miss I Lei. Miss I Lee starts the Georgia Georgia Public Defenders Foundation, which I'm on the board of. And now this thing mirrors the Pinnacle program. So what was working in the county is now statewide. Think if I don't have a relationship with those two black Democratic women and that one white Republican man, does the Whope scholarship get signed again?

Does the Pinnacle program getting made into a state program?

So I'll take the lastest these, Lord, no, I say it dancing he let me get rich, stuffing around doors.

I'll take the lastes. But on the very person no level.

I can't take your criticism if you don't live in the State of George, live in Atlanta, if you're not doing the work.

And I think that's what a lot of.

Times before we get so excited and we headlines, we have to understand that The most the most magic thing about this album to me was it got a chance to show you that I'm the product of the work of other people who poured into my cup, so that when my cup running th over and got a hole in it, were not losing water, is pouring in the open. And after I die, that's all I want to be like a grandmama funeral, my grandma. You the thought that Nigga died. That was important, but it was so packed me.

I didn't realize my sisters like we didn't realize.

She was so connected, but she was just she was just one active woman on her street. She said, activism starts on your street.
