What I want to play is something true.

It's your girl Jaz Tyler.

Jazz West says, boom, doc said it, and you better believe it.

The destruction

of black

people.

I'm sure I tried to told you.

You better believe it.

If you are just not joining us, we are going through decades of music, the soundtrack to America, right?

A lot of our every generation has had artists and music that has been projected onto the masses of the people to explain what it is that we're dealing with and the conditions that we're living in.

And we've went through each decade and ended up in the late 2000s.

Now we're around drill time, right?

This is 2000 between 2015 to even now.

Right because I think still music is still around but when it first started it was so heavy Right the baseline the vibration of the beat All of that it was extremely heavy the content the the lyrics everything that they were talking about and I call it serial killer music.

That's that's what I refer to it as Again, I'm not perfect

Some of them beats I like but because I am the age that I am I have to protect my doorway so I no longer listen to it But I understand again the setup of it all when drill music became a factor so what I was stating before the break was that During this time of 2015 after the whole perks and lean was introduced They began to feminize the black men who were music artists

And then after that happened, they went and placed military artillery in their hands.

So now you got a young rapper walking around with piercings on their face with the AK in a purse at the same time.

Make it make sense?

In a purse.

And a purse at the same time, right?

And we started to see so many of these hip hop rap artists, young black men under the age of 25 dying.

being killed, not knowing that the insurance companies, that the record labels took insurance policies out on them.

Took and helped them create the beef, helped them start the beef, helped them finish the beef.

They sent somebody to put the bug in their ear.

You should make this type of music.

This is your environment, whatever the case may be.

Then they end up getting into it and now they gone.

And now the insurance company gets paid not only off of the insurance, I'm sorry, the record labels get paid off of not only the insurance, but the royalties, the masters, the catalog, right?

Now they sitting on, now they got a bankroll.

Now they're fully capitalizing not only off of our people being slaves, meaning going to prison, but also with them being deceased.

When you look at the music industry today, I Can't say that everybody is like this before the most part we just went from 1970 to 2026 in Every generation that we have spoken about Has been set up by government entities and again when we go back to

This policy and legislation about Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, I was talking about that and how it correlated with music being made about pimping during this time.

It states that they expanded the U.S.

strategy to combat sex trafficking and labor trafficking through a holistic, multi-agency approach.

That was already happening.

All they did was just finally admitted publicly.

But prior to that, it was a multi agency approach, FBI, CIA, informants, CIS, local police department, government officials, elected officials, any type of agency you can think of, they reached out to form a task force.

They reached out to form a task force specifically for the music industry.

Right So now you have artists who are Describing a lifestyle and they're trying they sit in interviews and try to Not endorse the lifestyle Right But here's here's something that's interesting.

This is now we're moving into accountability who's responsible

Is the artist responsible?

Is the producer responsible?

Is the label responsible?

Who is responsible?

If a corporation markets that image because it's profitable, does the corporation inherit any responsibility for what it normalizes?

Meaning that if these labels are pushing,

These artists, to make certain type of music, should they be charged with third party?

Should they be included inside of whatever indictment, whatever comes along with it because they were a part of it?

Obviously, we know that that won't happen.

But should there be accountability for the record labels?

And and this is this is not me saying I agree with the statement This is me saying asking y'all how do y'all feel about it a 3 3 2 1 2 1 0 1 7 should record labels be held accountable for helping market and push a certain type of music obviously The first person is gonna say it's a freedom of speech they can make well.

Guess what?

Not so much if the artists are going to court and they're playing their music in court

using it against them during their indictment.

Jazz West said 100%, all of them are responsible.

All of them are indeed responsible.

At some point, there has to be, so let me break it down for y'all.

When you first start doing music and you come from a certain environment, you're going to make certain type of music we all have, even me.

I was making music for the streets when I was in the streets.

And it took Rico Love to say, why are you rapping about this?

You 18, 17, 18 talking about this, this, this, this, this.

Make some soft music.

Still did it anyways to a certain degree.

And then it took for Derek Williams to happen.

And it took for me to step back and look at my people and say, I don't want no parts of this.

I can't be involved with making this type of music because I'm in the community.

What do I look like?

And even if I wasn't, I have to help myself accountable.

Because what I want to put out there, I have to be conscious of that.

Have to be conscious of what I put out there.

They're making this music because it's a reflection of where we come from.

Right?

Here's the issue that I have now.

When you first start making music cool, I get it We understand that the conditions of our people has not changed for some it has because obviously we've grown To have our own and become successful, but when it comes to the masses of the people being oppressed We're still oppressed as a people We're still dealing with the same things we've been dealing with

So by the time you reach a point where you are self you have self-aware awareness And you understand right from wrong you understand that hey dick I don't like when people make excuses as if they don't have outs Everybody has out everybody has a choice I'm never I'm never going to knock anybody

Because I can't pay your bills.

I can't feed your children.

So you got to get it how you live but if the goal is to keep our people in a state of Emergency you can I don't want to be a part of that I Don't want to be a part of it because I've watched this happen throughout the years.

I've set back Research did study it.

You could see it flat out in your face.

Whoever don't You know agree.

Hey

If you don't apply, let it fly.

But as someone who has been a part of this industry, at some point, you have to decide which side of the fence you are on.

Are you going to be on the side of the fence that continues to push the music that is causing our young people to do what they do?

Or are you going to be on the side of the fence where you say, hey, I want to have I want to self express and make the music that I want to make.

And I'm gonna still do it, but I can't do it in that manner.

Now, the crazy thing is, we didn't sit here for two, almost three hours and talked about how they set up NWA, how they set up Tupac Shakur, how they set up, you know, and again, I'm not just specifically saying specific artists.

I'm talking about one artist from each generation who publicly, you seen what they did.

The FBI sent NWA that letter.

The vice president called Pock out at a press conference.

Then they come out with the 1994 crime bill.

Then they come out with the human trafficking bill in 2000.

Then the artists start making music about Pimpin' in 2003.

Then they begin to make music about Hustlin' in 2005.

And that's when the big indictment started rolling out.

BMF, all of these people end up getting indicted.

Then you go to 2012, they talking about Lane and Perks.

And you're moving to drill music, and now they feminizing the black man and making him wear dresses and paint his nails while running around with a person at AK.

Putting life insurance policies on them, helping them learn how to die.

And there's still going to be somebody who says, it's just music.

Well, if it was just music, we wouldn't be where we are.

Let's talk about it a 3 3 2 1 2 1 0 1 7 we got to go to break the question I have for you is if a corporation Markets the image that these artists are pushing and profit off of it.

Does that corporation inherit any responsibility for what it normalizes?

It should grow jazz Tyler 1 on 1.7 the

to 2 p.m.

Special thanks to Educators Credit Union, American Family Insurance, Milwaukee Public Schools, Artists Working in Education,

City of Milwaukee, DC, WS, Abcorpcorp and Ascension.

Thank you so much for tuning in.

Listen, if you are just joining us today, we are talking about the soundtrack of America, right?

And we don't mean the white picket fishes, country music and all of that.

We're talking about the hardcore truth and facts.

We spent this entire show going from generation to generation from the 70s, all the way until now when it comes to the music industry and how artists have been set up by government entities, specifically multi-agency such as CIA, FBI, local police departments, elected officials, all of the above based off of the music that they were making.

So just to recap really quickly.

The 70s, you know, we all know what was going down then.

We transitioned out of that type of music to gangster rap and to hip hop, which was nothing more than them expressing what was happening in their community.

They then became a target.

The FBI sent NWA a letter telling them, a cease and desist letter telling them that they can no longer make music.

Talking about harming police officers, even though police officers was harming us around the country.

They told them that they couldn't perform, right?

In 1994, you see Eric Wright rest in peace, gone.

Or 95.

1990, 91-92, the vice president goes on a press conference to attack Tupac Shakur about him and the way he referenced women in his music.

Then all of a sudden he gets framed for a false allegation and go to prison and Then 1994 they come out with the crime bill mass incarceration So everything we was learning and everything that we was doing from the 80s They about to make us pay for that.

They about to remove a whole generation that won't be released for another 30 years

Now that whole generation is gone.

When Park was in Milwaukee?

That was 1991.

So after that, they began to lean more into the hustler mentality a little bit.

Early 2000s, they dropped the human trafficking bill.

The Landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 laid the groundwork for the federal response to human trafficking.

In the years since, Congress has built on this foundation honing and expanding the U.S.

strategy to combat sex trafficking and labor trafficking through a holistic, multi-agency approach.

What does that mean?

Okay, they dropped this in 2000, 2003, 50 Cent come out with PIMP, then Luda come out with...

I got old and pimping all over the world.

All these artists are making music about pimping.

And now they're sending them away for human trafficking.

Meanwhile, there's a whole real human trafficking ring over at Epstein's Island.

And hip hop has taken a fall for that, whether they was involved or not.

Then you move from that to the hustle area.

Everybody selling dope.

Everybody out here getting to it.

Now them indictments.

Rico charges started to come into effect a little bit more.

Then we reached 2012.

Now we're talking about lean and perks.

Now everybody high as a kite, right?

What's the pattern?

The pattern is always drugs.

It starts with drugs.

Everybody high off.

Lean in perks.

Now you got the artists who are painting the nails, wearing purses and carrying AKs at the same time.

Then we lean over into.

The drill music era.

And they begin to.

In my opinion, my personal opinion.

Drop off military.

Artillery in certain cities such as Chicago And then nicknamed the city after Iraq during a time where Iraq was in a war So they are basically saying hey, we are declaring this state State of war On top of the drill music on top of the perks on top of the lean whole time

The record labels are taking insurance policies out on their artists.

And they're sending.

I'm a firm believer in who sent you.

They're sending people.

Amen.

We should do this.

We should make this type of music.

We should, you know what I'm saying?

Ops.

All of that.

And our young artists start dying, being killed.

And the insurance money, the record labels start collecting the insurance funds.

So they say, hey, not only did they collect the insurance funds, they get in the royalties and the masters too.

The family ain't getting nothing.

Not your family in court while you laid on the ground trying to fight for your estate.

Hey, you ain't selling records?

Don't worry about it.

We gonna get it about you one way or another.

And now we are here.

Now we are in a society where the young people, the artists they look up to are all of these things combined.

Gangsters, feminine, emotionally unintelligent, high as a kite, numb to murdering and death.

They don't have no social skills.

And a lot of them went through something during the pandemic.

When you remove a child from his natural environment, meaning other children and have them sitting in a home on a computer for a year, anybody, they're gonna lack in social skills.

Then you up, you enhance the streaming, you enhance social media.

You force in everybody to stay on their phones so that they can pay attention to whatever the new trend is and follow suit.

Don't forget, they started using rap lyrics in the courtroom, right?

They have always set us up when it comes to hip hop in the rap industry.

They've always set us up.

They have always put us in

situations to where we start to brainwash the masses of the people with the music without us subconsciously understanding the words and lyrics that's coming off of our tongue.

Life and death lies in the power of the tongue.

You don't believe me?

What you listen to matters and you know it matters.

Put on some Frankie Beverly in maze.

and watch how you feel.

Happy feelings.

Put on some King Von or some, you know, whatever artist and look and see how you feel.

And you can't tell me that it's not going to affect your mood.

Not only do it affect your mood, it affects your driving.

Y'all have been in car and one of y'all someone come on, you just start accidentally speeding out of nowhere.

Swerve left, swerve right, that boozy come on, you swerve, you doing all kind of stuff you normally wouldn't do.

What you listen to matters, what you watch matters, what you say matters, what you hear, all of that stuff matters.

So now they have forced this younger generation to become so addicted to technology and social media because that is how they're able to deliver the message.

That's how they're able to push whatever agenda that they have and it's working.

is working on a completely different level.

Jazz West says, this is an awful combination.

Exactly.

It is.

It is.

And we all are guilty of listening to certain type of music.

Again, this is not me shaming anybody.

Right?

This is me saying, hey, I was a part of that when I used to do music.

But I held myself accountable.

I held myself accountable because I had a bigger responsibility.

I would rather utilize my voice to impact and empower people than to send them off, because that's exactly what's happening.

Our people have been sent off for too many years, and they got it construed.

They like to compare and contrast.

Back in the day, y'all was doing, y'all was rapping about killing, we was reporting live from the trenches, man.

We was telling the world what we were going through because we didn't have a voice anymore They had got rid of every political black leader that we had Assassinated all of them to silence us and then we had the courage to create the gangster rap in the hip-hop and say hold on a minute now We gonna say something.

Oh You is all right keep talking.

We're just going to

infiltrate the entire culture.

We're gonna infiltrate it all.

So again, throughout history of music, government entities has always put our people in a position to be trapped, to either die or go to, they've been sending us off and blaming us for it in the process.

We gotta go to break.

When we come back, I want to hear from you.

833-212-1017.

Should record labels be responsible for the consequences that comes from the music that these artists make today?

It should grow Jazz Tyler 101.7 to

Follow me the Jazzy effect jazzy I E E F F E C T hit me up Facebook Jasmine Tyler Listen, we had a great conversation today

Jasmine West says low key that three six mafia and project Pat Boosie webby Earl Kanye early Kanye common killer cam bone thugs Alcaz Wayne Nikki.

I'm telling you Again, we all are guilty of it, right?

We're talking about the soundtrack to America not country music, but the real America America KKK Throughout the decades from the 70s all the way up until now the music industry has been

a way for our people, specifically people to express what was going on not only in their lives, but our communities.

And every time we had a generation that chose to stand up and say something after they have dismantled the movement, the Black Power Movement, the Civil Rights Movement and assassinated our leaders, we began to put this stuff in music.

And then they said, hey, hold on.

a minute.

You Negroes are getting y'all puffing up your chest a little bit too much.

We're gonna have to go ahead and create this uh send this FBI letter out for cease and desist.

Create this 1994 crime bill to lock y'all up.

And then we're gonna turn around and create other laws and force the artists to make these laws so that we can send all of y'all to jail and make money off of you being a slave in jail.

and then make money off of your royalties in the music that you have, and your family ain't gonna get nothing.

We got a caller on the line, Ben, from the north side, are you there?

Yeah, I want you to reframe your question just so I can make sure I'm answering what you're asking.

My question is, should record labels be responsible for the consequences that comes with rap artists making the music that they make?

My response would be not no not accountable ultimately accountable.

They provide the Incentive for people to want to possibly make stuff.

That's not maybe the most positive stuff in exchange for a dollar But you can you have the freedom to express your you know Whatever your viewpoint is in the life you experience you can express it and however you choose but if we're if you're willing to

Create images that will be detrimental to your community.

That's not the company's issue.

That's you as an artist issue and You don't have to take the money

That's not that's where I'm gonna agree with you on you.

Don't have to take the money whatsoever But part of what you said the reason why I asked that is because a lot of the private prisons have shares in these Music labels and what happens is especially when they used to have artist development

They will have sessions where they have producers, writers, so on and so on.

They say, hey, we should make this type of music where they give them the tools they need in order to self-destruct so that they can make money off of it.

But you use the term self-destruct.

You have a freedom of choice.

And everything that you can make a dollar off of, yeah, it could enrich you, but it doesn't mean every dollar ain't a good dollar.

And so you got to...

They create the mechanism and it's exploitation and they hope, you know, it's twofold.

I'm gonna make money off of your efforts.

Absolutely.

People will buy your stuff.

And at the same time, maybe it puts the community at a greater disadvantage, which benefits, you know, different communities.

You have the choice.

You have to make the choice.

Am I going to do what's best for my community or am I going to sell out for the dollar?

Because it comes down to selfishness and community consciousness.

Absolutely.

Thank you so much, Ben.

I agree.

Thank you so much for tapping in with us.

Just to kind of, you know, add to what he said, the comfort context purposes.

In the music industry, there are some situations where you don't have a choice.

And if you know, you know.

Once you sign that contract, no matter what you thought it was, it ain't about the beat.

And the record labels will.

Tell you what you should and shouldn't make what you should they can't you can record 50 60 70 songs You can say I want to put out 70 17 if they don't agree with it they won't They are making the decisions on what songs go on to the album they are making this it the decisions on the writing the producing as far as

how they wanted to be if they have a certain agenda.

If the goal is to get the prisons full, then we're going to assist with making sure that y'all make the music that we need y'all to make.

And again, to his point, you do have a choice, but sometimes you don't.

And again, if you know, you know.

There are some instances in the industry situations where once you win, there is no out.

And you're gonna have to play whatever game it is or you it's gonna be lights out Me personally I believe that There should be some accountability but to Ben's point they can't capitalize off of our pain if we don't sell out They cannot capitalize off of our pain

if we don't add fuel to the fire.

At some point, you have to make a decision, right?

You have to make a decision what side of the fence are you on?

Shout out to the chat.

What's up, Marty?

Marty said, little baby future, Tupac Dre.

It don't stop.

My other elephant says, so they have artist development, but no school development.

Come on now.

Come on, let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it.

Yes.

And it's so crazy now because I come from an era where you cannot have no type of play in the industry unless you really had talent.

Now anybody can wake up and decide that they want to rap or they want this image, even if they not.

And the labels are going to say, oh yeah, we want to make another.

Percocet, lean, sipping, money making, pushing, having sex with multiple people at the same time.

Yeah.

Let's go ahead and increase the STD rates.

Let's go ahead and increase death.

Let's go ahead and increase people going to prison.

Let's go ahead and increase the disruption between black women and black men relationship wise.

And that person is saying, Oh, sign me up.

Yeah, sign me up cuz I'm tired of living like this These are the same people who got you living in the conditions that you're living in.

Hello These are the same people who have been oppressing you, right?

Just because they throwing money don't mean that they still not capitalizing off of your pain

It's some artists I can't even listen to because I know them labels and took out life insurance policies on them boys and got them off.

It's heartbreaking.

Like we can't we have to begin to have these conversations because I am so tired.

I am so tired of hearing.

People complain about the music today and the state of the youth not knowing that this is a part of the reason why they aren't just like y'all Y'all was running around here when Juvenile was, huh?

That shoot with that big-bodied Benz, huh?

That shoot that can't keep old lady cuz you keep smashing her friends, huh?

Y'all run around here with Reeboks and Gebowls GZ come out Don't Ben a snowman

Everybody at school with snowman t-shirts on Easy eating them come out everybody got wave new voles.

You can't tell me that music has not influenced every single generation You can't tell me And now our babies are running around with tight jeans nails painted in a gap in a purse

Listen, they run around here looking like do offload out dirty shit.

Piss tighter than mines with rhinestones up the butt.

But they, but they go, they gonna take a life at the same, in the same breath.

This is what we have come to.

This is, and for the people that say it's just music, it's our fault.

Yes, it is our fault.

and we have to be better, but you still have to give grace because the amount of work and strategy that went into programming our people to be in the mind frames that we're in on top of the things that was given to us for disabilities, for us to have these disabilities, the oppression, the conditioning of our people.

For so many years, this wasn't something they just made up overnight.

It took years.

They put a plan years, hundreds of years ago.

They put a plan into place that is still in effect.

And for some odd reason, black people, we give everybody else slack but us.

For some odd reason, we think in 50 years or 100 years that we're all going to unlearn and relearn.

No, no, no.

And we most definitely...

are not in the position to not have grace for our people when we keep endorsing BS like serial killer music and everything else that's being played out here.

Don't talk about the youth if you don't want to be a part of responsibility.

If you don't want to be a part of the solution.

You gotta choose.

Again, I'm guilty of it.

I still listen.

Man, what?

Thub motivation 101.

You better believe it.

You better believe it.

Period.

In rotation, baby.

But guess what?

I'm old enough.

The baby's not.

They don't know that half of these artists don't really drink, lean, and pop pills.

They don't know that.

They don't know the history and how.

We have been set up continuously when it comes to the music industry.

Because nobody is telling them.

Instead, people is telling them, go sign that deal.

Go get your mama out the hood and sign that deal.

Baby, you signed your life away.

Let's talk about it.

W.S.

A.B.

Coracor and Ascension.

And tap in M.K.E.

So, for those who are just joining us, welcome back to

Tap in, we had an amazing conversation about the music industry over the decades and about how government entities plays a huge part in the setup, all of the above.

Shout out to the chat.

Shout out to the text line.

Angela Erby says, there are so many songs about minors and old rock music or whatever is called, but I don't recall any of those white men getting arrested or charged.

Me either, right?

Their favorite Elvis was one of them.

He married a 14 year old girl.

They've never been held accountable.

Why?

Because they are a part of what's happening.

They've created what's happening, right?

It went from worst to worst, sir.

Come on now.

Hank P Hank says to my understanding the industry wanted gangster music to take over and replace public enemy and fight the power movement because they were educating black folks one one and was scared of revolution I wholeheartedly believe that exactly that's pretty much what I said in a nutshell earlier The minds of the masses of the people were being transformed and every time we rise up they do something so

because they assassinated all of our leaders, the Black Power movement, the Black Panther movement, the Civil Rights movement to send a message.

By the time we rose up in music, the banging, all of that was out.

It was like, hold on.

This is a little different.

They ain't passive or none of that stuff.

We got to approach it differently.

They hit us with these crime bills and human trafficking bills.

After they didn't told these artists to make music about pimping, make music about selling drugs, so on and so on.

Angela Erby says, record labels should be accountable, held accountable for what they knowingly enable, promote and profit from.

I wholeheartedly believe it because guess what?

If this is any other corporation, let's say you have a BMO Harris bank and someone comes in there and slips and fall.

Do you think that the manager is going to be responsible or the person who cleaned it?

Absolutely not BMO Harris is going to be responsible the corporation overall So why is it that the record labels get a slap on the wrist?

Why is it that when they decide what songs go on the album how they want to push and market it that?

They don't have any responsibility in the consequences

She also said that so when you say sometimes there is no out that sounds like a game America's the biggest game Yes, indeed in the music industry everyone is expandable Fortunately and unfortunately The chat every Shelton said Empire records if you know you know

Um, thank you so much.

You killed it today.

Jazz.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate you.

Mother Elephant says, I will never forgive them for what they did to MJ and Pocke.

Never.

Me neither.

We go on.

And, and speaking of it, we're going through it right now.

30 years later, we are in the middle of the two Pocke murder trial.

We never thought we'd see the day and everybody is blowing past it like it's just a normal day.

and it's not, because what happened to him is much bigger than just a simple, there was a fight broken out inside of the casino.

If you truly think that that's what that was, after knowing too that he was the first major artist, first major artist to be assassinated.

It's almost like they made him the poster boy to send in an example of what was coming next because look how many other artists We've lost along the way due to The influence of the music industry There are so many people responsible For the deaths of artists and people they've influenced right

The crazy thing is I remember, I don't know if y'all remember in the 90s where somebody was, this guy in Atlanta was trying to sue Pac because he said his lyrics made him commit a crime.

And somehow you can actually take an artist to court for that.

But you can't take a record label exec to court for endorsing and promoting this.

Make it make sense?

Make it make sense.

My other elephant says you're right They got the wrong one same with Nipsey then again some of us are easily manipulated we are Because we believe everything the media tells us It is actually sickening how many people are so comfortable with Being a part of the problem and not the solution as an educator select for those who

are not familiar.

During the day, I actually teach music.

I used to be, I am an artist.

I don't, I'm not an active artist, but been in the industry since I was 15.

Not just Milwaukee industry, but the industry worldwide, the music industry overall.

And currently during the day, I teach at Howard Fuller High School.

I teach students how to rap, sing, engineer, make beats, use instruments, podcasts, DJ, all of that.

And the reason why I enjoy doing what I do is because I want to make sure that they are not taking advantage of Right luckily we live in a world where you don't necessarily have to sign a record deal now If you streaming and you doing what you want to do You know the main reason why people are signing it now because they want fame They don't want the money they want fame But my job based off of the things that I've been through

is to make sure I protect these babies, make sure they're not taking advantage of while trying to pursue their dreams based off of the gift that God gave them, right?

Everybody can't shoot a basketball.

Everybody can't throw a football.

Some of us, all we know how to do is make music, and we shouldn't be penalized for that.

We shouldn't be oppressed for that.

That's a natural gift that has been in our bloodline for thousands of years.

That's who we are.

When my call to action is make a choice start protecting your doorways start paying attention man Stop being a part of the problem Stop being a part of the problem.

They've been setting us up in a music industry.

They said Billie Holiday up that was in the 50s Got to do better.

Thank y'all so much for tapping in with me today.

Truth Nation, it's your girl Jazz Tyler.

You are officially tapped in.

Hey, check this out.

If you are just now joining us.

You have officially tapped into the Friday kickback and we are doing the soundtrack of America every half hour is a decade We just got up about the 80s.

We were talking about the war on drugs The violence right all of the street politicians who were reporting directly from the streets What was going on so much to the point where?

NWA received a letter from the FBI

Telling them that they could no longer say certain things in their music pretty much telling them they did not have the right to voice To use their voice use their voice and I was explaining that once this is where where things changed in

music

once Once they were able to dictate how we get to

make our music based off of how much money we were being paid.

That is when hip hop changed, right?

That is when hip hop changed.

And it wasn't a payout because we were talented.

It was a payout to be quiet.

It was a payout to say, hey, if you are going to make this music and report to the streets, you're going to do it in a way.

where you can get people to do what you do so that we can lock them up.

We need it done in a way where we can capitalize off of it, right?

That brings me to the 90s.

Rodney King, the L.A.

Uprising, the Violence, the 1994 Crime Bill, Expanded Incarceration, Biden, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, hello, while Black television, hip hop and R&B,

was exploding culturally, right?

So by the time we reached the 90s, things changed.

We had options.

We had shows where black people got to be families, professionals.

They could be weird, wealthy, working class, young, old, everything, right?

This is also the decade of the Rodney King beaten.

That happened in 1992 during the LA uprising.

The violent crime debate

Dominates politics the 1994 crime bill became law incarceration expanded Some neighborhoods are still carrying the damage of the crack era right and somehow the music is holding all of it So when we go back to the 90s and we think about some of the artists that we had who were creating music who were creating the

soundtrack to our lives right um Earlier on it seemed as if it became more I say like the late 80s when guy and certain people started to come out with the new jack swing going into the 90s it was more you know Dance music it was a variety of different music But we did have a lot of party music where people just wanted to you know have a good have a good time Then you still had some artists

like Pac, like Nas, KRS-1, different people who were speaking directly from the streets.

And during this time, this is the aftermath of the war on drugs.

This is during mass incarceration.

This is during the invention of welfare.

This is during when the housing

These change and they started to remove the black man from the household This is where a lot of the movies that started to be made were a reflection of the music the hip-hop Music that was being made in the 80s right the minister society and boys in the hood and all of the above However, there was a balance.

We still had again the TV shows different world and the Bill Cosby and all of that but this is where

They implemented law, right?

So they say hey We're reporting from the streets in the 80s.

This is what we see.

We don't care.

We standing up da da da da All right, cool.

I Want y'all to right this is what the government telling telling us as a people with our culture and our music keep on I want y'all to I want y'all to keep you know fighting back against what we're doing to you

And we gonna like y'all black asses up.

And what they did was create the 1994 crime bill.

And that's when mass incarceration came into effect.

So now all of the people who were proud to represent artists that stood up for them and spoke their truth and also spoke their life because they could relate to it.

Now they have to be careful because they became they became targets They didn't even have to do anything.

You just be black and be a man and get locked up So much to the point that Pac Made I get around and all the other songs and the vice president called him out The vice president went on national TV and called him out about his cities they were

Stumping all over his CDs so on and so on.

I remember the clip from From the NWA movie And they had bought all of those CDs and they was pretty much damaging it and easy.

He was like It don't matter.

They bought it.

We still got paid All these white people buying our music just to stomp on it and tell other people not to listen to it.

Guess what?

We still got paid, right?

Which is hilarious because it's the truth back then you have to still you have to physically go in the store to purchase the music So y'all y'all way out of y'all way to purchase the music just to destroy it Which actually did didn't do anything but We started to hear records like after that happened where they caught him out We started to hear records like keep your head up.

We talked about war on drugs and

you know, Brenda's Got a Baby, which was based off of a true story.

And even some of the music that K.R.S.

One and Oz made as well.

And things change.

That was a defining moment.

The moment with NWA and the FBI, the letter being sent to them was a defining moment.

Those two moments specifically was a hardcore message sent to not just black men, but our culture overall.

They were telling us, A, you don't have a voice.

Actually, you do have a voice, but we get to dictate what that sounds like, right?

And if you keep on utilizing your voices to move the masses of the people who can relate to what is really happening in your community, we are going to put you in jail.

Or are we going to kill you?

One or the other?

But that's what's going to happen.

And the hip hop industry became political.

Very, very political.

So much to the point where I'm almost positive.

They had to sign artists who were willing to play the game, meaning.

There is no way like you got to be.

You can say something here and there, but you got to do it in a safe way.

And if you're not willing to is going to be a problem.

Because at the end of the day, the goal was for them to capitalize off of the pain of our people.

What started out as us reporting what was happening, right?

In case anybody was wondering, hey, this is what's happening to us.

This is what they did to us.

They had to figure out a way to put fear in us so that we wouldn't become rebels and that we would stop utilizing our music in that manner because people was really waking people up.

When you go back to the 80s and 90s, think about it.

If you were born or you grew up during that time, think about the climate of the city.

When you heard NWA, when you heard, you know, arrested development, when you heard Tupac Shakur, when you heard different artists who were standing up speaking, think about the climate, not just the music, but the climate of this city, the climate of the music industry, the climate of this country.

It was so much happening.

And it was so many people who were aware.

This is pre-social media.

I'm not talking in a marketing stance.

I'm talking in a point of us lacking social skills.

This is pre-social media, right?

This is pre-ADD, ADHD, and, you know, ABCD, all of the above.

Whatever it is that they want to diagnose us with, this is pre-all of that.

where people actually had their brain cells and was emotionally intelligent and understood no matter if they was banging or if they was a school teacher, we all had a common goal and that was for black people to live a certain way and for black people to have a certain type of freedom and be able to express ourself.

And that changed.

And they had to figure out a way to capitalize off of it.

Shout out to the chat.

Jazz West says absolutely pay to be quiet the Ron Taylor says from PM dawn I listen PM dawn is so underrated MC Hammer.

We went to public enemy NWA She said you talking what I've been telling since 2008 exactly man I Truly love your show today.

Thank you ma.

Shout out to my mom in the chat.

Um, but yes

This is where things took a turn.

This is where things became very political.

This is where things started to feel a little bit different.

And after, I say like, right before Pac got murdered, assassinated, because remind you, that was them sending a message on a completely different level.

And despite what anybody got to say, we know exactly why they did it.

Right?

When that happened, if you look at the timeline of music, that's when certain music started to be pushed to the masses of the people.

That's when certain images started to be pushed to the masses of the people.

And if you notice, nobody got loud enough anymore.

There wasn't any artist that was standing that hard.

There was a shift.

And we're going to talk about it when we come back from break.

Do not touch that dial.

It's your girl, Jazz Tyler.

101.7 is truth.

101.7 is truth.

It's your girl, Jazz Tyler.

Listen!

If you are just not joining us, we are going through decades of music, the soundtrack of America, and pointing out the flaws as it pertains to the setup.

The setup of music, right?

How it went from our people utilizing their voice, their God-given talent, and their platform to report live on what was happening in our communities.

This is the 60s, 50s, 60s, 70s.

Then moving into the 80s to where hip hop and gangster rap started as a way to say, listen, y'all can't silence us.

This is what's happening.

And then moving along to the 90s to where penalty started to happen, right?

You got vice presidents calling out artists and demanding that they not make the music that they made.

You have artists being assassinated, hip hop artists.

You have the 1994 crime bill, right?

All of these things started to take place.

So in the 90s, politics started to take over the music industry in a different kind of way because they did.

And again, these are not hardcore facts.

This is just my analogy of it, right?

As someone who was in the industry, who have done music and been around it.

as well as the movement and the people.

This is the things that people don't see, right?

These are the things that people may talk about in private, but we need to have these conversations out loud so that we can break down what is happening with our babies and the music that they currently listen to and the influence of it.

But once politics began to take over hip-hop in the music industry, it started to become a setup.

So much to the point where it was like, hey, they're not listening.

They're gonna do what they want to do.

They keep making the music.

So let's figure out a way to capitalize off of it and do it in a sense where we benefit from it.

That's always the case when it comes to those entities, right?

So the 2000s is when hip hop becomes an enormous global business.

The hustler isn't just a character anymore.

The hustler becomes a brand.

This is where we go into This is where we going to pimp language, right in that culture and at almost the same moment federal law was changing how America defines and prosecute human trafficking So what happens when the law is saying exploitation is a serious crime while entertainment can make pieces of that same?

Emergy look glamorous

What do I mean?

What are you talking about jazz?

What are you talking about?

Okay, let's dive into it The federal trafficking victims protection act was enacted in the year of 2000 It created a major federal framework around preventing trafficking prosecuting traffickers and protecting victims Now think about what else was happening culturally around that same time hip-hop

was becoming one of the biggest business in entertainment.

The hustler image was selling.

The pimp language, the pimp fashion, the pimp images are showing up in records, videos, movies, televisions, even in ways that people who had nothing to do with the street life started repeating it, right?

So now all of a sudden you got, not to mention, oh, I forgot about this.

The hip-hop police, so in the early 2000s, it was revealed that the New York Police Department, NYPD, and other federal agencies maintained a covert rap intelligence unit.

This unit actively monitored artists and tracked the travel of high-profile hip-hop artists under the inception.

that record labels were operating as fronts for a street gang.

So basically they started to target all of the hip hop and rap artists who were becoming businessmen, creating record labels and then signing their record labels to the bigger record labels, right?

These are the guys that's like, hey, I know we're artists or I am an artist.

I want to do this.

I got the bread to do it.

Cool.

We about to make some music.

And we're about to do it in a way where we can live the life that we want to live.

Also, in the 2000s, there was a massive spike in prosecutors introducing rap lyrics into criminal proceedings.

Rather than being treated as fictional or metaphorical, lyrics were presented to juries as literal, right?

Literal confessions.

To establish intent or character.

So when people say and this is from this is from article from Harvard University So people thought that this was new when it happened to young Doug.

No, this been happening this been happening So fast forward we're in the early 2000s and Y'all at home watching a rap city in a basement BTM TV all of the above right and Then you see all of these songs

The PIMP by 50 cents I even believed Ti was making everybody pimping all over the world by Ludacris Everybody was was pushing this culture Everybody Everybody was pushing this culture when 50 cent made PIMP

He made this at the same time that they were enforcing human trafficking laws when little Chris made pimpin all over the world He was making this at the same time that they were enforcing human trafficking laws when ti made Let's get away and all the other music about you know pimp tight and all it is they were creating a human trafficking laws Let's let's take a listen to a song from that time

All right,

so they made it cool.

Hello.

They made it cool for everybody to want to walk around and mind you.

I'm 38.

So at this time, I was in high school.

So we talk about the music that our children listen to now and the things that they're saying.

But imagine your child walking around talking about their pimp or that they got, I got O's.

I got O's in different area code.

pimping all over the world, right?

These are the songs that if you were in high school in the early 2000s, we were singing these songs verbatim.

We were singing these songs verbatim, right?

And then what happened?

You get hit with the human trafficking bill at the same time that this music is being created.

You can't tell me that is not a setup You cannot tell me that is not a setup This is what they was pushing so you got FBI hitting up NWA in in the 1980s saying that they can't make music about harming the police Although the police can not make music, but they can take our lives and nobody's doing nothing about it They send NWA a letter saying

Ceasenda says you can't perform this song in the middle of Rodney King getting his lights beat out of him.

In the 90s, they saying you can't make music calling women out of their name.

And then Pock said, OK, cool, I'm going to make keep your head up.

And they still went on.

The vice president still went and did a press conference.

Right.

That was a direct target.

So.

What year did Eric Wright die 1994?

What year did Tupac Shakur die 1996 and these are two entities who were targeted by the FBI because of the type of music that they made and Because of what it was doing to the masses of the people So now you got the mass incarceration bill now you got politics involved in hip-hop so much to the point where there's nothing that

They can do about it, but attempt to capitalize off of it.

Okay, cool.

Going to the 2000s.

Have them make this type of music, right?

And the setup is because when you look at the year that the human trafficking laws were created during this time, it was before this type of music came out.

Not to say it wasn't out before, but I'm talking about this specific generation of music.

So the law came out and then you had pimping all over the world.

I got O's in different area cause I don't know what you heard about me.

I'm a PIMP You got all these artists all the record labels pushing these artists to talk about pimping And then they start getting hit with the human trafficking laws So they're utilizing the music and the culture to push people to live this lifestyle

and then turn around and lock them up because they're gonna get paid.

This is the name of the game.

Man, what?

The name, take that, take that.

That's what he's saying now too.

Take that, take that.

This is the name of the game and they're still doing it and it started in the 2000s.

Make them create these laws.

Make them make this type of music.

Lock they black butt up when they make this music so we can make money off of them in prison in out of prison We gonna make money off your music off your royalties off your masters And we gonna make money physically out off of you because we're going to lock you up for making the music that you made Even though we told your record label to tell you to make the music set up Set up I don't think y'all hear me and now y'all running around like

Why these kids this?

Yeah, because all they listen to is NBA young boy.

Only for him to have the money to go to the clinicians he need and come out and say, my therapist said that I need to change my life or other artists.

Yeah, I don't even really smoke or drink.

I just make music like that.

But guess what your babies do?

Because those are the artists that they listen to.

This is still happening.

It's just packaged up.

in a different way.

Let's continue this conversation.

We'll become back from break.

It should grow jazz.

Tyler 101.7 is true.

Yo, why is Jada Kiss as hard as it gets?

Why is the industry designed to keep the artists in debt?

And why them dudes ain't ridin' if they party or set?

Truth Nation!

Thank you all so much for tuning in.

If you are just now joining us, we are going through decades of music and how it pertains to being the soundtrack of America.

Each generation of music gives us information on what it is that us the people are going through, right?

And we spent the past hour and a half talking about the 60s, the 70s, 80s, so on and so on.

And now we are pulling up to the year of 2000.

So before we went to break, I was tapping into just laying out the foundation of what it looks like and how certain government entities targeted the hip hop music industry in order to not only capitalize off of our people, but to put them put us in a position to where we could potentially be penalized for.

expressing ourselves or for indulging in certain activities.

So I was saying that the year 2000 is when things change drastically.

So you have the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.

The Landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 laid the groundwork for the federal response to human trafficking.

In the years since, Congress has built on this foundation, honing and expanding the U.S.

strategy to combat sex trafficking and labor trafficking through a holistic, multi-agency approach.

Polaris works with allies to shape, support and share innovative state, federal and local laws.

and policies that are driven by data based on survivor experience and focused on expanded accountability for sex and labor trafficking.

There is one thing that I want you all to pay attention to, and that is the multi-agency approach.

What that means is for artists specifically, and this is still happening today, but for artists specifically, they were sending in

multiple government agencies to target them based on the music that they were making.

But here's the cold setup.

The setup is, this bill comes out.

And then you have, because remember, the record label, the private prisons have shares inside of the record labels.

The setup is, all right, we're gonna put out this Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.

to help people who are being human trafficked and who are part of human trafficking and We're gonna go back to the record label and say hey, we want you to make this song Make this song and even if the label didn't directly tell them to they put them in rooms or put them Somebody had a conversation.

Somebody sparked the idea.

Sometimes the devil don't come knocking at your door Sometimes he gonna send somebody to you who sent you who said

You hop off who that woman?

Somebody sent somebody.

To tell these artists to make music surrounding pimping.

All while there was a bill out to protect people who was considered as being a part of human traffic.

They make the music.

And then you began to see people go to jail, right?

And if they don't go to jail,

is because more than likely they were biting the bullet, conforming, doing whatever it is.

You know how crazy and freaky this industry can be, right?

They probably were a part of it.

Not to mention, that's a whole different topic, but not to mention, this whole time that this is happening, there was actually real human traffic and happening on Epstein's Island.

Are y'all paying attention to the set up?

I mean, it's not funny.

I'm laughing because it's mind boggling.

It's like it's similar to someone in the streets who said somebody else self or something that they didn't do.

Damn.

The private prisons have shares and stakes inside of the record labels.

They then tell.

Grab these artists.

Mold them to be who they want them to be.

Tell them to make this specific music.

Lock them up.

Have them brainwash the masters of the people.

Lock them up and lock up the people that they was brainwashing.

Make money physically off of them because we all know prison is slavery.

So while they're in prison, they're making money off of them.

And while they're in prison, their music is still selling.

And now they own the masters of royalties.

They own their name.

They have life insurance policies on these artists.

So they're making money every which way.

So they're creating these laws for the artist to take the fall.

Meanwhile, there's a whole island called Epstein Island.

Not to say, because I don't know, I can't vouch for certain artists.

I don't know what they was doing if they really was in that life.

But what I can say is, there was a whole island, a whole island that really was partaking in this.

And they use hip hop as the frontman.

They use music as the front So 2000s is here and you got the human trafficking laws you got the Pimpin music being pushed out.

Okay, cool by the time we get to 2005 That slows down and now we're into strictly hustle mode now we're into Everybody getting to it, right?

Everybody is a hustler

I'm talking getting it.

And this is at the height of BMF.

This is at the height of all types of street organizations, right?

And I was becoming a full circle again.

Okay, cool.

Now we're about to start taking their lyrics and using it against them again.

So everything that they're talking about, we're going to take that information and use it in court.

And we're running around here thinking everybody's at this time and I'm telling you all this too because remember, I'm an artist.

I entered this industry at 15 years old.

I've been around all of it.

Everything I'm talking about, I've been around it.

I've been around it.

I've seen it with my own eyes as far as

how they chose to dissect this industry and pick it apart.

Now we're in the late 2000s and now they're taking people music and using it against them to lock them up to create indictments and all of the all of everything.

Now everybody hustling, everybody grinding, everybody getting to it.

That's the culture now, right?

So we leave out of the hustlers culture and then the diamond started going and we get to 2010 no Yeah, 2010 to like 2015 And can any of y'all any of y'all tell me what artists?

Like was popping at that time.

I can future Future streets calling mixtape

I'm guilty of it.

I was in my early 20s.

It was cracking.

All the music he was putting, I was cracking.

But this is when we started to see Lean.

This is where we started to hear artists talking about Lean, popping perks.

They been popping X, but now they pushing the perks in the Lean.

Not only is they pushing that, they're pushing hustle too.

So you go from the...

pimping with the human trafficking laws to the hustling.

And now they're using rap lyrics as indictment.

And by the time you get to 2012, they're talking about lean and pills.

And it's coming from artists who has never used drugs in their life.

Come

on.

Right?

Now now this is the new culture everybody they say I can't understand the music that they make it Why they singing why they sounding like that cuz they high as hell they high Ain't nothing changed, but the lyrics the artist from back in the day was hot too.

Yeah, I know y'all

seen

that Oh

The difference is, they were singing about substance.

During this time, they were singing about perks.

Lean, all of the above.

Dirty Sprite, ain't never drunk lean, nothing in their life.

Didn't even do drugs, but they pushing it to us.

And again, to each his own, we all have a freedom of speech.

You can say whatever you want, right?

But know that it comes with something.

So now you start to see everybody write everybody rapping in the club right around a hustling They drink and lean they pop and perks they doing all of the above and they put it in a music Talking about having three sums and everybody Smashing everybody and then you look up in what is the AIDS rate?

What is the STD?

Right?

This is what this is what our people are pushing into music.

I'm just

I'm, hey, don't shoot the messenger.

I'm just trying to get you out of understand.

I'm not being biased or trying to be hypocritical and say that these people shouldn't make this type of music or whatever because I've contributed to making certain type of music, which is why I don't know more.

I chose at that time in 2011 to say, I don't want to make this music no more because I can't be out here in the community telling my people not to make, not to do this, but I'm kicking this to them.

And I understand that everybody is willing to do that, and that's fine.

But I had to make that choice.

We are talking about the soundtrack of our lives, the soundtrack to America, music, and how it was set up by government entities.

This is your girl, Jazz Tyler, 101.7 of

Truth.

Dip it on some scissors.

Dip, dip it on some, dip, dip it on some scissors.

Dip, dip it on some, dip, dip it on some scissors.

Dip, dip it on some,

dip, dip it on some scissors.

Dip, dip it on some, dip, dip it on some scissors.

Dip, dip it on some, dip, dip it on some scissors.

Don't judge me, right?

If you are just not joining us, we are going through decades of the music industry, the soundtrack to our lives and the soundtrack to America KKK, okay?

And how the music industry and the government entities set up artists utilizing the music industry.

Shout out to the chat.

The Ron Taylor said so the gang life that they affiliated themselves with East Coast and West Coast had nothing to do with their deaths That always told me just because it's a setup don't mean you have to fall for it Absolutely.

It has something to do with it, right?

But and you're right the second part just because it's a setup don't mean you have to fall for it So this is where the grace come in at the grace come in because you have to think about

The masses of the people the state of mind that they were in during these times The state of mind everybody when you hungry you broke literally when you're literally literally hungry and broke You mad y'all mad when it's 90 degrees outside.

You don't want to be bothered letting all hungry and broke yet anybody can get it When you living in poverty it becomes easy to be angry and to react because

You don't have nothing to lose.

And again, it don't mean that you have to fall for it, but it goes back to it.

The conditions of our people being oppressed is not our fault.

What is our fault is that we're not paying attention enough to what's happening or if we are, we just don't care.

That's the problem.

We're laying out the entire setup from the start to the to now.

They've been setting us up this whole time and I ain't telling y'all nothing.

Y'all don't know.

So now we're in the year 2012 everybody's pushing perk in perks and lean Right now everybody named mama high off cough syrup and liquor Everybody popping perks.

They walking around like zombies.

This is when the zombie type of identity started And then we fast forward to 2015 to 2020

and you begin to see the emasculation of black men on a completely different level.

Now the artists are wearing dresses, now they are wearing purses, now they are painting their nails, and we're not talking about the alphabet community, we're not talking about someone's sexuality, we're talking about them feminizing black men who were artists to make a statement.

Because when you look at it, they were not dressing like this every day.

They just forced them to take a photo shoot In this attire So now they're sending another message, hey Y'all been rising up for so many years y'all y'all making all this gangster music Y'all calling the government out in the 90s Y'all hustling in the 2000s and y'all pimping All right cool

I'm about to make you my bee.

Go ahead and put this purse on.

Go ahead and paint them nails.

Go ahead and get them bedazzled earrings and piercings on your face.

Go ahead and wear these dresses and skirts.

In Young Thug's defense, he said he had to wear the dress to hide the gun.

You know what, Z?

I've been around some real ones my whole life and they ain't never had to wear a dress to hide

a

gun.

Okay.

Not even an AK?

They ain't never had to wear a dress to hide a gun.

For real.

They did all of this.

Okay, cool.

I'm about to make you mine.

And they completely feminized black men who were representation of the ghetto, the hood, the struggle.

Then they started to go and grab people who they know they can mold, right?

So there used to be a time where the streets dictated the music.

The music did not dictate the streets.

Now you have artists who are trying to be in the streets that's never been in the streets, not knowing Negro.

They was doing music to get out the streets and you trying to run back to it and then wonder why you end up in jail.

So they don't know all of this stuff they becoming more feminine Not by nature not because this is who they are but because they are being forced to for the agenda and the propaganda at hand So now we have them all During the 1990s the mass incarceration during this time so many people

Family members, fathers, uncles, brothers was taken away, which means that we are a whole generation has been removed.

They didn't get out until 2015.

They went in in 1995.

Now they're coming back into society under the cold that they was under when they left in a society where there is no longer a cold.

in society where they have to deal with young black men who are being feminized by the music industry.

And then you wonder why they can't get alone.

Two different generations, two different clothes, two different types of men.

You have a male and a man.

Now everything is all discombobulated.

So they're wearing the dresses and they're doing all of it.

They pop into perks.

They're doing all of this stuff.

Then 2018 2017 I said hey, let's create drill music Let's create drill music right

Let's take an artist from Chicago and let's make this type of music and start calling Chicago shy rack and then we're going to drop off some military weapons in the alley when everybody sleep at night and made and go and rest them a lot wash them kill each other and then go pick them up another setup So we was all riding around what we was listening to

Z

This is what we riding around.

Everybody in eight cars in 2018, after, you know, the gangster rap in the 80s, then the 90s, the president's coming out, then the mass incarceration, then in 2000, it's the pimping and the hustling, then it's the lean and so on.

And now by the time we reach 2018, it's drill

music.

But y'all hear it, right?

Y'all hear it.

This is the start of drill music.

This is the start of, so now they're saying I, we didn't, basically we didn't took, we didn't took these music, young music artists, made them feminine and gangsters at the same time.

So now, pew pew.

Brothers what you say?

Now you expected to walk down the street and see somebody like if you black you know what I mean, man You know when somebody just got out so 2015 everybody that went in under the mass incarceration law the 1994 crime bill they out a hard body, right?

From their head to their shoes they hard body ten toes

And you mixing them into a society with a whole bunch of young black rappers wearing person's painting nails and carrying an AK at the same time.

Talk about confused, right?

So now you got the drill music in effect.

Chief Keep come out, all these artists come out.

I'm sorry, Chief Keep was out before 2018, but you know what I mean.

All this type of music come out.
