Talib Kweli & JPEGMAFIA Talk Punk/Hip-Hop Connection, Kanye's Politics | People's Party Full Episode

[@uproxx]

Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe and rate the audio podcast on Apple and Spotify. Full timestamps below. APPLE: applepodcasts.com/peoplesparty SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/72bYFZBBZIwc7kdYUmRgFe TIMESTAMPS 2:01 -- JPEG talks about the unique titles of his projects, which are intentionally off-putting to weed out the people that most likely wouldn't vibe off his music, and also explains the origins of his rap name. 5:29 -- JPEG reflects on growing up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, then moving frequently with his Jamaican parents starting at age 13, finally choosing Baltimore as his home base. He also speaks on the culture shock of the outwards racism he experienced while living in the south, and gives his impartial take on gentrification. 13:22 -- JPEG and Talib reflect on Ice Cube's mega influence and impact on each of them and across the industry. As well as Cube's signature way of attacking racism in America from a street level, everyday approach. 17:00 -- JPEG and Talib discuss the punk/hip hop connection and the freedom, empowerment, and control that an artist feels once they've established a lasting legacy, using Lauryn Hill as an example. 25:47 -- Talib asks JPEG to elaborate on a paraphrased quote regarding withholding the judgement of Kanye West's backing of Donald Trump. JPEG also speaks on how profoundly honored he feels when he hears his idols acknowledge him and are fans of his music. 33:34 -- JPEG speaks on the deep love he has for his hometown of Baltimore. They also discuss it's history of being used as a political football, and pacifism vs. the necessary use of violence, and the combination of both to promote change. 48:18 -- JPEG feels forced to interrupt Talib before he begins quoting Nelson Mandela to apologize in advance if he throws up anytime during the interview, and moments later he apologizes once more. They go on to discuss battling online twitter racists, and the concept of "righteous anger". 53:58 -- JPEG reflects on his military background, joining at a time when he felt he had no other viable options. They also discuss Trump's relationship with the media, and JPEG expresses why he thinks he'll be elected for a second term. 1:04:50 -- JPEG breaks down in detail the analogy he uses of his records being his children. 1:07:53 -- Talib references JPEG's song "Thug Tears", and asks him about the stigma of black men crying, and showing vulnerability. 1:10:14 -- JPEG is asked if he is ready for the last two questions, while he ponders if he needs a reunion with the people's party trash can. Once the show is back on track he responds to prompting his white fans at his shows to trade out the n-word for "cracker" when rapping along with him during sets. 1:15:23 -- Talib closes the show with one of JPEG's most notable quotes about perseverance of aspiring artists on the steep uphill climb to achieving success.

[@bongfetus1614]

Mieli Stevens I kinda disagree with the people listing obvious gore classics in the replies. Like duh obviously a gruesome violent title would weed certain people out. I think if you look at a band like cannibal corpse, they had fun with the controversy and were obviously into horror themes and shit, it doesn't seem to me like those first bands were trying to intentionally gate-keep their music; though it did have that effect. Some of the other examples listed in the replies I would consider to be deliberate controversy, which just isn't genuine or interesting in my opinion. If you really wanna talk about gate keeping titles, you could site pretty much any counter culture shit ever. Mozart had a song called Lick Me in the Ass. I definitely see where y'all are coming from with the death metal examples, but also I think this type of this is everywhere in music

Only discovered JPEG recently but honestly he's become easily one of my favorites to the point where I, who usually just stays home and enjoys my cheap audiophile set up and hates crowds, want to see him live. Seeing him interact like this with Talib just felt so sincere and true, and as controversial as his opinions might be, I found myself aligning with them more than not. Was sad to see Hasanabi get banned as he was going to have Peggy on and I really wanted to know more about JPEG's political ideology, but this interview gave me not just that, but also a look into someone who seems like a really nice, genuine guy. All that while having a great time! Will definitely watch this one again and check our more of People's Party

Welcome to the party, we appreciate ya

[@mina_mozna]

Hey, this podcast was real as fuck; I have so much respect for Peggy, as he is honest, straightforward, really down to earth person, who also LIVES for the art and has so much respect for it. This was one of the most enlightening hour and a half of my life, if I'm being honest-

[@USMCLP]

23:50 This whole conversation reminds me of The Cure during 1982. Robert Smith was at his breaking point because of his depression, had a fight with his band mate Simon, and went straight back home in May. Then his father convinced and pressured him to finish the tour because thousands of fans had bought tickets to see the band. So he endured a few more weeks of shows before the tour ended in a huge mess on June 11.

[@umraansyed]

Wow that’s an awesome story. I love cure. 82 was pornography tour? Why’d he and Simon fight?! Lowl was still in the band at that point?

[@USMCLP]

@Umrann Syed Yeah man, Lol was still in the band. He was a bit of an observer watching their relationship deteriorate, although he had his own issues like his mother dying in 1981. The reason why they got into a fight was because Simon was pretty much, according to Robert; Becoming really arrogant and the stereotypical rock n’ roll archetype he hated. Could be because of the drugs, depression, or exhaustion from touring 1981 and recording Pornography, but that’s pretty much how it went down. Like they were at a bar in Strasbourg and Simon was berating this bartender over a drink, so Robert told him to shut up. Then he punched the shit out of Robert and they started going at it. Which was the climax of The Cure’s early days and led to Simon leaving the band for two years, and Robert Smith getting deeper involved with Siouxsie and the Banshees. Lol also stopped drumming, and switched to keyboards. In other words, everyone was a big mess by 1982.

That was the dopest interview I've ever seen!

[@MAandS]

[@lioh_mood]

I am from Argentina and I understand a little bit of English but I did not understand completely, beyond that I could understand and realize that this is the best and most honest interview I have ever heard, my blessings to these two huge artists. ☄ 💚☢ ☣ 🇦🇷

[@empthreeplayer]

[@Guante_de_arroz]

GRANDE PEGGY

[@UVERlupend]

Phenomenal interview. This was a pleasant surprise!!!!

[@mentalhermit]

Talib and Peggy have such a great chemistry. Such a great interview.

[@eliaskingdude]

the fact that he carries lyrical rhythm in the way he speaks, is evidential to how much heart and soul he puts into his music. I love this dude and his righteous anger.

[@divineworks8074]

The absolute best. Whhhhhyyyy did I miss until now. Guess I needed to see and hear it now. God's time!

[@Alief.Prophet]

TOOK LONG ENOUGH, DAMN

[@stephenbramucci9395]

[@Alief.Prophet]

@@stephenbramucci9395 anything Peggy is

[@AnbusKi]

This was such a dope interview.

[@natethehomosapien1497]

Peggy interviews are just 👌🏽👌🏽

[@Ali-vv2ic]

wow man i dont see interviewers doing this much research before hand thats so crazy. subscribed

[@y4wnd3r3]

17:50 Man I remember every day in middle school there were the kids freestyling over people drumming on the lunchroom tables with pencils. Hip hop is beautiful for the exact reason yall said. There's no price of admission, and anyone can show up with nothing more than a few bars. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

[@tadah21]

Jasmin has gotten so much better as a co-host she deserves credit for getting her joy taylor on if you don't know who that is she is only the best female co host in sports jasmin on her neck at this rate.👍

[@uproxx]

[@boimesa8190]

Debut album...?

[@leonardbrothers1012]

Kweli is my man 200 Grand, but he knows Lauryn is wrong for how she does her fans. She's wildin out. Lol. On another note, it would be dope to get DOOM on here one day.

[@MarkQuick0411]

Leonard Brothers It be a Doom Bot Lol

[@goldenboy140]

Ironically, Doom is also known for not showing up for shows lmao. He be sending random dudes instead of him

[@swing7wing]

Doom is probably not allowed in the USA anymore, so probably noy

[@jacobjaramillo3192]

I get his argument but that’ll just make people not want to buy tickets if you’re that inconsistent. Dont go on tour if you’re that unstable and unsure you can hold the responsibility of showing up.

[@DiceB]

Leonard Brothers yes Doom please

[@FatRonaldo]

This is a brilliant and very insightful conversation. Thank you brothers.

[@jimmigordon5498]
