WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480
Hey, what's up people? It's your boy Quincy Murdoch

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.339
with another episode of Not Just Music Podcast.

00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.880
I hope everybody is doing well. Let's get straight

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.859
to it, man, because I seen this news and I had

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:22.019
to jump up and I had to say something to this,

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.879
man, because Not Just Music Podcast, we've always

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.679
tried to inspire. Most importantly, we've tried

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.159
to inspire our own people. We've always tried

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.020
to make it popular to love black and love being

00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:43.439
black. We've always tried to uplift our community.

00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.000
And not saying we're racist or we select, but

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.640
we're black African -American men. So, of course,

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.520
black is important to us. Well, me, it is. And

00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.600
I'm sure my co -hosts, we take pride in it. we

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.000
started doing black history topics on our show

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.719
because we noticed nobody really is doing that

00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.840
nobody is really representing black i'm saying

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.500
nobody is really uplifting black nowadays if

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.760
anything it's always down in black it's always

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.659
tarnishing black black is looked down upon in

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:29.180
the media our black men are under scrutiny every

00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:32.459
time we slip up or mess up even if it's not something

00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:37.099
we done we're crucified for it so i've always

00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:39.599
been the type to be if i see everybody going

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.459
against something i'll be that one person to

00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:46.280
stand up against all of the powers not just music

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.340
podcast that's what you gotta say we tell the

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:51.519
truth our slogan is well we keep it real and

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.920
honest always so you have to realize Anytime

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.879
that you're telling the truth, anytime that you're

00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.299
speaking truth, you're going to get hated for

00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:05.859
it. From the Caucasians to the Mexicans to all

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.479
the other races, even from your own black people.

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.439
And the message, the uplifting beef for the black

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.360
folks. So it's like this going into my topic,

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:22.740
because if you haven't heard the BET. hip hop

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:26.219
awards and soul train awards are no longer being

00:02:26.219 --> 00:02:31.240
presented. And somebody has spoken out and made

00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.500
a statement. Statement says, I would say that

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.120
is less about them being no longer a more about

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.199
our team having to re re imagine them for the

00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.199
changing media landscape that we find ourselves

00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.009
in. I think. What we're going to see are more

00:02:51.009 --> 00:02:54.189
people taking franchises and saying this might

00:02:54.189 --> 00:02:59.110
have started on Lanier TV television. But now

00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:02.409
I'm going to move it to another space. Do I move

00:03:02.409 --> 00:03:05.250
it to streaming or do I move it to another platform?

00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:09.310
So for BET, we have suspended the Soul Train

00:03:09.310 --> 00:03:13.289
and Hip Hop Awards show. But we have a team that's

00:03:13.289 --> 00:03:15.750
actively thinking about where those award shows

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:19.669
might best. Live as media climate continues to

00:03:19.669 --> 00:03:25.030
evolve. They aren't gone. And we all still have

00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:29.750
NAACP Image Awards and Stellars Awards. Let me

00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:36.270
cut in. So basically, translation. Translation.

00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:43.990
We done sold our black culture to the white man,

00:03:44.129 --> 00:03:47.939
basically. We done sold out. to the man basically

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:54.400
we done sold out and the way it's two views i

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.719
have on this the first view is it's obvious they're

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.939
trying to erase black it's obvious this world

00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:06.580
is trying to erase black culture black history

00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:13.039
anything empowering to us anything positive about

00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.639
us that celebrates us They're trying to eliminate.

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.740
That's clear. I'm saying from the high to the

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:23.360
low, across the board, they're trying to eliminate

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.819
Black. And this is why I feel us as Black people,

00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:32.740
we need to cherish what we have a little bit

00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:35.860
more. We have to respect what we have a little

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:39.000
bit more. We have to appreciate what we have

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.160
a little bit more. We have to appreciate each

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.310
and every one another, our Black folks. A little

00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:49.910
bit more. We have to show love to our own kind

00:04:49.910 --> 00:04:52.689
a little bit more because this is demonstration

00:04:52.689 --> 00:04:56.649
to if we don't take care of ours, if we don't

00:04:56.649 --> 00:05:00.569
love ours, don't expect them to care about ours,

00:05:00.629 --> 00:05:04.870
love ours. You get what I'm saying? Don't expect

00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:08.810
them to see our point of view when we can't see

00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:12.569
our point of view. We fighting every day. Our

00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:15.430
own brothers, our own sisters, our own mothers.

00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:21.230
Our own fathers, own friends. And it's a value

00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:25.629
of self -hate, I feel. We don't know ourselves.

00:05:25.730 --> 00:05:28.709
We don't know our true identity. And we're going,

00:05:28.850 --> 00:05:34.470
the white man's job is to confuse you. That's

00:05:34.470 --> 00:05:37.089
the white man's job, is to confuse you and have

00:05:37.089 --> 00:05:39.850
you wondering who you really are. Have you not

00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:42.870
knowing who you are as a strong black queen,

00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:46.199
a black king. That you are. So they want you

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.819
to be thrown off. And the black history that

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:54.240
I taught of this is like it's our past ancestors

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.860
and civil rights leaders fought for all of this

00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:02.040
freedom of speech. Right. It was a time where

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.420
we couldn't even eat in the same restaurants

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:07.819
as white people. It's a time where we couldn't

00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:11.779
even vote. It's a time where we wasn't even celebrated.

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.980
I'm saying black was looked down upon. And it's

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:19.180
like when we get these things, we don't appreciate

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:23.100
them. For one, we won't attend them. We won't

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:25.459
appreciate our brothers and sisters business.

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:32.019
We won't support their events. I'm saying anything

00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:34.379
they got going on, we don't support each other.

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:38.220
We talk down about it. We talk down about each

00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.420
other's business, whatever they got going on.

00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:45.810
The outsiders are looking in. It's like, wow,

00:06:46.029 --> 00:06:49.069
these niggas. That's how they I'm sorry to say

00:06:49.069 --> 00:06:51.430
it. These niggas can't even get along with each

00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:55.069
other. And that's where it makes it easy for

00:06:55.069 --> 00:06:59.029
them to just slide on in. And take what we got.

00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:02.629
And we don't even see it coming because we don't

00:07:02.629 --> 00:07:07.089
see the bigger picture. We're distracted by the

00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:10.709
real purpose, the real enemy. We think the enemy

00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:16.079
is. Our brother and sister. We think that's the

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.920
problem. We think that's the oppressor. Our brother

00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.639
and sister, but no, it's them. It's the other

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:27.060
races. It's the other races outside that are

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:29.500
the oppressors, are the ones trying to destroy

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:31.980
us, the ones trying to corrupt our minds, the

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:35.500
ones trying to confuse us. Because the less it

00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:39.079
is of us, the better they are. And they know

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.620
that. So this is why I say they're trying to

00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:45.120
eliminate everything representing black culture,

00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.259
black people, period. You know what I'm saying?

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:55.620
And it's sad, man, because how much Martin Luther

00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:59.980
King, Malcolm X's, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman's,

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.639
how all of these people. and more Black Panthers,

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.800
how all these organizations and people fought

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.199
so hard for us to be in this position to where

00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.480
we were free and where we were celebrated and

00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.120
we were on a platform that, you know, that we

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.699
didn't have back then. Now we have that platform.

00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.959
What I'm doing right now, speaking out, this

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.180
wasn't a such thing back in the day. You would

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:33.909
be killed. This was speaking your opinion. And

00:08:33.909 --> 00:08:37.389
that's why when I grab this mic, when I get in

00:08:37.389 --> 00:08:40.190
front of these cameras, I take everything that

00:08:40.190 --> 00:08:43.690
I say serious because a voice is powerful. And

00:08:43.690 --> 00:08:48.629
the one thing they want, and it's sad. The other

00:08:48.629 --> 00:08:54.970
races, even your own kind, they fear truth. You

00:08:54.970 --> 00:08:56.830
know what I'm saying? And they want to eliminate

00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:59.779
people like me. They want to eliminate people

00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:02.799
like DeJuan. They want to eliminate anybody like

00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.200
me with a voice that's going to speak out, that's

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.580
going to be real, talk the real and tell the

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:11.679
truth. And that's what they fear. They fear people

00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.259
like me. And that's why I come under a lot of

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:17.360
scrutiny. I come under a lot of hate. And a lot

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.580
of people take it as like, I think I'm bigger,

00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:22.000
I'm better. You know what I'm saying? Just when

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.360
I'm speaking truth, just when I'm trying to educate

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.250
my people. I educate the people, but mainly educate

00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:32.629
my people. And people got to realize these are

00:09:32.629 --> 00:09:36.250
life experiences for me. I go through every day

00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:39.269
just like everybody else. The difference is I

00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:45.250
use my voice and pray that my voice and my message

00:09:45.250 --> 00:09:48.350
will touch the world. Because at the end of the

00:09:48.350 --> 00:09:51.289
day, it's about making this a better world for

00:09:51.289 --> 00:09:55.539
all. That's my goal. I just want it to be a better

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:59.559
world for all. Where we can all reap the rewards.

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:03.820
Where we can all be celebrated. Where we can

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:06.580
all be glorified. Where we can all be equal.

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:12.460
Equal. Equal. Like I said, I can't talk right

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:16.299
now. But I want to get to that point. And maybe

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:20.320
I'm crazy for thinking that way. But if I'm crazy.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.480
For believing what I believe in and standing

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.820
on what I stand on ten toes. I'm crazy, I guess,

00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:31.059
because that's just me. I know what I face. I

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:33.960
know what I have been through. And it's the challenges.

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.259
It's the life lessons. It's the struggles. All

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:42.659
that mixed up into why Quincy Murdoch, Hugh,

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:46.019
stands for what he stands for and does what he

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:51.029
does so passionately and won't stop. And is relentless

00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:56.929
with it. Because at the end of the day. I'm trying

00:10:56.929 --> 00:11:00.070
to save our souls. And I'm trying to save a culture.

00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:05.269
I'm trying to save. What matters to me. And that's

00:11:05.269 --> 00:11:10.850
the black culture. Most importantly. So. Don't

00:11:10.850 --> 00:11:13.590
let this episode. Go over your heads. This is

00:11:13.590 --> 00:11:16.529
a message to my black individuals. Start loving

00:11:16.529 --> 00:11:20.129
yourself. Start loving your neighbor. Start loving

00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:24.750
your brother and sister. Start appreciating things.

00:11:26.470 --> 00:11:28.870
Because sometimes when we don't appreciate them,

00:11:28.889 --> 00:11:32.269
guess what? BET Hip Hop Awards and the Soul Train

00:11:32.269 --> 00:11:36.029
Awards, they get taken away. And at the end of

00:11:36.029 --> 00:11:38.850
the day, it's, oh, we gave it to you. Y 'all

00:11:38.850 --> 00:11:42.789
had it. We had it, but what did we do with it?

00:11:43.330 --> 00:11:47.250
Ask yourself that. What did we do with it? When

00:11:47.250 --> 00:11:50.940
you have it, The easy part is getting it. The

00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:53.340
hardest part is keeping it because you got to

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:56.000
nurture it like a baby. You got to feed it for

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.799
it to grow and be healthy. Whatever you feed

00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.620
into a baby, I'm saying you can't just treat

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:05.440
a baby bad and expect it to live and grow and

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.100
be strong. You have to feed it with the proper
