Vanessa GrigoriadisHOST
We know he was hip hop royalty, but he was, from the time he was a child, like this cherished child of these two Black Panthers, right? Like, who was he?
Jeff WeissGUEST
He was like Walt Whitman meets Jim Morrison meets Huey Newton for rap.
Jeff WeissGUEST
You know, he comes from Panther royalty, and he first comes out as a backup dancer for Digital Underground, then kind of becomes this legendary political rapper very early.
Jeff WeissGUEST
He has a song called Brenda's Got a Baby, which if you go back and listen to it if you've never heard it, it's this incredibly powerful song about a woman that throws her baby away into a trash heap, and then they find the baby, and i- it's like a really powerful song for, like, a teenager to have written, and that was his first big single.
NeekHOST
They didn't want to come on and something happened.
NeekHOST
Huey Newton came out there, kicked the door down and told them you going to get in out there and perform for these people.
NeekHOST
So they get out there and perform, right? They perform for 15 minutes.
JeffHOST
Ike stops the band and everybody
Colin KaepernickGUEST
So for me, I had to figure out how to be able to navigate these situations, these circumstances without really having a guide.
Colin KaepernickGUEST
And getting older and later in life and then being exposed to literature like Malcolm X and Baldwin and Fanon and Huey Newton and Angela Davis-
David RemnickHOST
Mm-hmm
Colin KaepernickGUEST
... like, getting a broader perspective helped put my experience growing up into context, but also helped put it in a broader context of a Black community and Black history that was important to get me to understand systems level thinking.
Colin KaepernickGUEST
that ultimately led to the moment of Take Any.
Colin KaepernickGUEST
One of the turning points there was reading the autobiography of Malcolm X, reading Frantz Fanon and Wretched of the Earth, Black Skin, White Mask, Huey Newton's Revolutionary Suicide, reading Angela Davis and going down this lineage of Black scholars and Black revolutionaries.
Colin KaepernickGUEST
that had a different vision for what the country could be and what it looked like for us to thrive.
Colin KaepernickGUEST
A lot of that history, I was not taught growing up.
Alison StewartHOST
Nice.
Roger Guenveur SmithGUEST
And that is the way that we have, you know, been capable of doing the body of work that we've done, which has been inspired by disparate spirits, from Christopher Columbus to Otto Frank, who was the father of Anne Frank, to Huey P. Newton, Frederick Douglass, um, Charles, uh, White, who was-
Alison StewartHOST
Mm-hmm
Roger Guenveur SmithGUEST
... a great artist, um, and on and on.
JeroneGUEST
Exactly.
JeroneGUEST
So, and, and, and this originates back- To socialists like Huey P. Newton.
JeroneGUEST
You know, we got Bobby Seale, we got Fred Hampton.
JeroneGUEST
You know, we got Martin Luther King, even Malcolm X, you know, spoke out against black folks who will appear one way, but when they get into a position of power, they're quickly able to change face and, and understand that sitting in this position frees them, but it doesn't free the rest of us.
JeroneGUEST
This is not a white movement.
JeroneGUEST
I wasn't radicalized by a Hasan Piker or, you know, some white progressives.
JeroneGUEST
I was radicalized by Huey P. Newton.
JeroneGUEST
I was, you know, brought to understand politics and how it's being constructed today, or even back then, against people, against people of color, even abroad.
Robert KalilHOST
And I think he
Rainetta JonesGUEST
grew up where Huey P Newton was from and the CIA and the government targeted that area.
Rainetta JonesGUEST
and turned all of the young boys into criminals in order to get them into the prison to test this weapon.
Rainetta JonesGUEST
So one of the things they used me for, besides stealing my eggs and undersea programs, and I'm going to show you, I think, how they're using me in space programs, right? With bleed through.

But still teddy bear sweaters, Betty low to the ground.

The hybrid of everything that come with ownin' a crown.
