- 0:00FBA's steady talking [music] about what
- 0:01they built. What y'all build? Y'all
- 0:03ain't built [ __ ]
- 0:04>> It's called America. This man woke up,
- 0:06put on a camera based on technology my
- 0:08ancestors created, sitting in a land
- 0:10that my ancestors built, talking about
- 0:12what did we build? Bro, you can't even
- 0:13hold on to your magazine.
- 0:16So, when I was in my 20s, I heard a
- 0:18record from Marshall Mathers and he
- 0:20said, "I don't want to be like this. I
- 0:22don't want to hurt nobody's feelings,
- 0:24but I'm just being real when I say
- 0:26nobody wants to hear their grandfather
- 0:28rap." And again, I don't have no beef
- 0:30with Ray Benzino, but Benzino been out
- 0:32here crashing out, y'all. All that beef
- 0:34and all that
- 0:34>> Black people and foundational black
- 0:36Americans are the most patriotic in
- 0:38America.
- 0:39>> You hold hold up. Hold up. First of all,
- 0:42why is it that All right, first of all,
- 0:43let's clear this up. If you're a black
- 0:45person and you consider yourself a
- 0:46patriot, then I then then you lost
- 0:48already. You all [ __ ] up in the head.
- 0:50>> First of all, let's just stop it right
- 0:51there for a minute. Hi Ray, come to the
- 0:53front of the class. Let Let the doc talk
- 0:55to you for a minute. I need to have a
- 0:56conversation with you, sir. First of
- 0:58all, why do you have a rubber sock on
- 1:01your head? That, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:02is not a tin foil durag. I mean, I think
- 1:04flowers are beautiful. I'm not going to
- 1:05sleep with them. Anyway, moving on. Ray
- 1:07Benzino sit up here and said, "If you
- 1:09consider yourself a patriot, there's
- 1:11something wrong in your head." No,
- 1:12there's something wrong with your head,
- 1:13sir. It's just directly on your
- 1:15shoulders because you don't have a neck.
- 1:16>> You are gay.
- 1:17>> Anyway, secondly, you are a high yellow
- 1:20capitalist. Do I Do I need to direct
- 1:21your attention to the Source magazine,
- 1:23sir? Do I need to direct your attention
- 1:24to Love & Hip Hop? That is capitalism.
- 1:26You have made your bones. Your daughter,
- 1:28Coi Leray, is a result of American
- 1:30capitalism. Sir, I'mma need you to take
- 1:33your hefty shoulders and your tiny legs
- 1:34and sit your ass down somewhere. What
- 1:36are you talking about? He's Cape Verdean
- 1:39and Puerto Rican? That explains this.
- 1:41>> Oh my god.
- 1:42>> Why are you gay? You are gay. Why are
- 1:44you gay? You are gay. You are gay. Why
- 1:46are you gay? You are gay. Why are you
- 1:48gay? You are gay. You are gay.
- 1:50>> The n-n-n-n-n-n talking division? Shut
- 1:53your yellow ass up. Anyway, let me let
- 1:55him finish.
- 1:55>> That's number one. How the [ __ ] are you
- 1:57going to consider yourself a patriot?
- 1:59>> We're here for so long in America and
- 2:01actually built what a lot of immigrants
- 2:04enjoy today.
- 2:05>> And second of all, why is it that the
- 2:07founda- FBA foundational black Americans
- 2:10are only attacking black people?
- 2:13>> Stop. Let me stop.
- 2:14>> That is a lie. We're going to have a Let
- 2:15me Mhm. Mhm.
- 2:16Ladies and gentlemen, hold on. I don't
- 2:17even remember my pressure points. I'm
- 2:19taking my headphones off. Ray Benzino,
- 2:21if you're illegal, you need to get the
- 2:22hell up out of my land.
- 2:26I don't care if you're an illegal
- 2:28Ukrainian. I don't care if you're an
- 2:30illegal Canadian. I don't care if you're
- 2:31an illegal franc. I don't care if you
- 2:34are an illegal Brit. If you are in my
- 2:36country illegally, you have got to get
- 2:39the fork out, you raggedy [ __ ]
- 2:42>> What are you talking The foundational
- 2:44black Americans, they don't need to
- 2:46attack black people.
- 2:47>> No, we do not attack black people. We
- 2:49respond in kind to disrespect and you
- 2:52trying to have squatter's rights in a
- 2:54land that you did not bleed on.
- 2:55>> Why are you gay?
- 2:56>> Uh let's let's let's cut out the black
- 2:58immigrants for now. I'm talking about
- 3:00foundational black Americans and
- 3:02foundational white Americans. So
- 3:03>> I still don't even understand who the
- 3:05[ __ ] they are and what they stand for.
- 3:07We're talking about
- 3:08>> I don't understand how somebody with
- 3:09such level of intelligence all of a
- 3:11sudden can be so willfully obtuse. He
- 3:13knows exactly what we're talking about.
- 3:16When is the last time, I'm not being
- 3:18disrespectful, I'm asking cuz maybe I
- 3:20missed it. When the last time Benzino
- 3:22had a hit? Maybe y'all didn't hear me in
- 3:24the in the chat. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:25I'm asking for clarity's sake. When is
- 3:28the last time Ray Benzino had a hit?
- 3:31Think about it.
- 3:34>> [music]
- 3:35>> A few said Benzino's last hit was one in
- 3:36the chamber 1990 No, no, no, cuz he had
- 3:38the one with Mario Winans. We're going
- 3:39to throw the party and rock the party
- 3:42and freak the party. Did you
- 3:43I I can't remember the song cuz it it
- 3:45was trash, but it was a hit. I I I'll
- 3:47give credit where credit is due. Big J,
- 3:49sir, come to the front of the class. He
- 3:51said on Love & Hip Hop when Althea
- 3:53slapped him, that was his last hit."
- 3:55>> [music]
- 3:57>> Somebody find TT. Somebody find TT cuz
- 3:59we need to slap some sense into Benzino.
- 4:01>> Got the people that only recognize their
- 4:04lineage to slavery, but anything before
- 4:06that didn't happen.
- 4:07>> I can trace my ancestry back to the
- 4:091670s and if I'm mathematically correct,
- 4:12that means that my people were on this
- 4:15land on paper at least 100 years before
- 4:18Chris Bosh took a bullet. Before the
- 4:21United States of America became We the
- 4:23People of the United States in order to
- 4:24form a more perfect union, establish
- 4:26justice, ensure domestic tranquility,
- 4:28provide for the common defense, promote
- 4:29the general welfare, etc., etc., etc.
- 4:33That means this land is my land. It is
- 4:36not your land. You're a musty tether
- 4:40from New York Island. You are irrelevant
- 4:43and you're just talking. This land was
- 4:47made for me, not you.
- 4:50>> [music]
- 4:52>> Ladies and gentlemen, I know it don't
- 4:53look like it cuz it looks like I'm
- 4:54seated, but I promise you I'm always
- 4:56going to stand on lineage business and
- 4:57Ray Benzino is on the list. Roll it.
- 5:00>> Those in the I mean, these people I'm
- 5:02we're not It's not America's job, right,
- 5:04to take care of someone's child and
- 5:06mother from another country. That's that
- 5:08country's job, okay?
- 5:09>> All y'all are doing is just creating
- 5:11more
- 5:12um If this son [ __ ] says division, he
- 5:15better The next word out of this musty,
- 5:18dusty, high-yellow, liver-spotted
- 5:21tether's mouth better not be division.
- 5:23>> Device, like
- 5:28>> He says device? No
- 5:30Ray Benzino,
- 5:32my foundational black American Ray Khan
- 5:34head earbuds are a device, okay?
- 5:37My iPhone with my beautiful dead
- 5:39brother's picture on it is a device um
- 5:42cuz he doesn't understand words cuz I
- 5:44understand English probably ain't his
- 5:45first language. You mean divisive or
- 5:49specifically you mean division,
- 5:52but you're the idiot. I don't know, for
- 5:55the life of me, Jamel, why
- 5:58they believe foundational black
- 5:59Americans are the Avengers. I keep
- 6:01telling people we are not a record
- 6:04label, we are not a crew, we are not a
- 6:06clique, we are not a gang. We are a
- 6:09lineage. That's that's at least one too
- 6:11many syllables for for a Benzino. This
- 6:13man literally just said, "Y'all creating
- 6:15more device." Cooketh smuggle the
- 6:18premise, divided. As usual, Dave, you
- 6:20not being a monolith like you supposed
- 6:22to. I will never be monolithic. No.
- 6:24>> [clears throat]
- 6:25>> Look, if you wrong, you wrong, and I'm
- 6:27going to stand on lineage business,
- 6:29period, point blank. First of all, don't
- 6:31do that to the Teenage Mutant Ninja
- 6:32Turtles. This is an elderly mutant
- 6:36dum-dum tether. Elderly mutant dum-dum
- 6:38tether. Ugly man with no neck. Tether
- 6:41power. He's the world's most ugly tether
- 6:43man. He's really hit. He's a mutant with
- 6:46a mic, and he is gay. When Benzino's
- 6:49mouth attacks, this FBA ain't taking no
- 6:53slack. The hell?
- 6:55He does look like Krang. He really does.
- 6:57But this is why it's so important to be
- 6:59on code. I don't have to like you.
- 7:00What's up with his cheeks? Pause.
- 7:03This man is stupid. This man is
- 7:05intellectually [ __ ] This man had
- 7:08one teacher in high school, rode a short
- 7:10bus in and and had a helmet. That's why
- 7:11he puts that dag on rubber diving sock
- 7:14on his head. That's not a durag. And
- 7:16then why is it so loose? It's like he's
- 7:18trying to get back to his troll roots.
- 7:20Does he have a jewel in his belly
- 7:22button? Is he a troll? Cuz he damn sure
- 7:24ain't treasure.
- 7:25I'm trying to understand. This man is as
- 7:27unseasoned and unimportant as day-old
- 7:30white bread. He's got mold on his face.
- 7:33I'm sorry, those are liver spots. I'm
- 7:35sorry, who told Mr. Burns we wanted his
- 7:36opinion? I don't understand where the
- 7:38hell he gets off right now. Why are we
- 7:40doing this? Cooker said even the Botox
- 7:43failed.
- 7:44>> [music]
- 7:46>> What is Benzino?
- 7:49This is why you're a trivia question.
- 7:50This is why you are the butt of so many
- 7:52hip-hop jokes, sir. Elderly mutant ninja
- 7:54tethers, bootlickers with no damn sense,
- 7:57tether power. I hate you so much. He
- 7:59reminds me of Damon Dash when his teeth
- 8:00fell out. At least Damon's foundational.
- 8:04>> [music]
- 8:05>> What are we talking about? This man is
- 8:08living proof that old women back in the
- 8:1050s or whenever his mama was born,
- 8:11respect to his mama, should have
- 8:13swallowed.
- 8:14>> Who the [ __ ] are y'all?
- 8:16>> Oh my god.
- 8:19>> Bro.
- 8:20>> I'm about to shoot my producer. I keep
- 8:21telling y'all I don't watch these videos
- 8:23ahead of time. I come in, Joe is
- 8:25prepped. Shout out big biggest shout out
- 8:27to Neff.
- 8:31So I don't see these videos ahead of
- 8:32time, so my reactions are fresh. That
- 8:34way I'm reacting with you, you're
- 8:36reacting with me, we're all seeing this
- 8:38BS at the same time. Why does this man
- 8:41continue to take his shirt off? I've
- 8:43lost well over 360 lb, but I have loose
- 8:45skin, that's why I don't take my shirt
- 8:46off. But the second I get the rest of
- 8:48this loose skin cut off, and let me
- 8:49explain to y'all something, my first
- 8:51surgery was painful. The first 2 weeks
- 8:53after I got the first paniculectomy, it
- 8:56was painful for like 2 weeks. After that
- 8:58I was cool. But I got to get another
- 9:00paniculectomy and I got to get the loose
- 9:03skin off of my legs. Pain.
- 9:05Not looking forward to it, but it's got
- 9:07to happen. Until it happens, I'm not
- 9:09taking my shirt off. But he damn sure
- 9:11didn't take that condom off the top of
- 9:13his head. Why does he have a reservoir
- 9:15tip at the top of that condom he's
- 9:17wearing? You are gay. Ladies and
- 9:18gentlemen,
- 9:19I I haven't had to wear a condom in
- 9:21almost 2 decades, but
- 9:23What what what why does Why does he have
- 9:27a reservoir tip? This man sits up here
- 9:29looking like you'll get a taco bell. Me
- 9:31and my said I had to stop what I was
- 9:32doing. Did you say a jewel in his belly
- 9:33button? Yeah, cuz he looks like an
- 9:34untreasured troll.
- 9:36>> You are gay.
- 9:36>> What what what going on here? Shyfire
- 9:38said, "I just ate breakfast while seeing
- 9:40that assault of the senses." How do you
- 9:42think I feel right now? I'm having a
- 9:43meeting with my team after this cuz this
- 9:45I need some warnings when I have to look
- 9:48at elderly nakedness. This man looks
- 9:50like old Chris.
- 9:53You know that old man with the liver
- 9:54spots from Family Guy? That's what he
- 9:55looks like. FY gang, bro, are you a
- 9:57comedian or are you a real black
- 9:59activist? What's the substance? [ __ ] I
- 10:02never claimed to be a black activist.
- 10:04I'm a foundational black American who
- 10:05stands on business. I have done
- 10:07stand-up. I have written jokes for some
- 10:08of your favorites. I'm a Laugh House
- 10:10original. I predate Kevin Hart. Ask him.
- 10:12So, I am very much allowed to make any
- 10:16joke I want to. I am not the national
- 10:18news. If you don't like it, [ __ ] ass,
- 10:20do something about it. If you don't like
- 10:22it, why are you here? And and more
- 10:23importantly, my question to you, quite
- 10:25frankly, is this. Why are you gay?
- 10:28Where is the substance? The substance is
- 10:30at the meeting of my thighs teabagging
- 10:33your mom. That's where the substance is.
- 10:34You don't even have the balls, you
- 10:36raggedy [ __ ] to put your profile
- 10:39picture up because we know that you look
- 10:42like road kill meets a [ __ ] You look
- 10:45like a pregnant wildebeest with AIDS.
- 10:47You look like somebody who walked around
- 10:50with a swollen belly begging for a bag
- 10:52of rice from Sally Struthers with a fly
- 10:53in his eye. That's what you look like.
- 10:55So, I wouldn't put my picture up, too,
- 10:57if I looked like your ugly ass. And
- 10:58that's how I know you're a tether
- 11:00because everybody knows that we laugh to
- 11:02keep from crying, and I make these jokes
- 11:04because I help people get through their
- 11:05day, and I also give them information
- 11:08that the mainstream media tries to hide
- 11:09from them. What are you doing, FYF gang
- 11:12906? What gang are you from? The Get
- 11:14Along Gang? The Bussy Gang? What gang
- 11:17are you a part of, sir? And if you got
- 11:19so much to say, why don't you come up
- 11:20here and say it? I dare you. I double
- 11:23dog dare you. But see, you won't because
- 11:25you are made of bitchery. Sir, you are
- 11:27the reason that Tim Wells in Minnesota
- 11:29put tampons in the men's room. That's
- 11:31you. You could probably win every single
- 11:33season of RuPaul's Drag Race. That's
- 11:34you. You probably walk with a switch and
- 11:36you probably have stirrups on your
- 11:38sweatpants, you raggedy [ __ ] You a
- 11:40gay. No, are you comedian? First of all,
- 11:42I'm not your [ __ ] bro. You don't know
- 11:44me. I don't hang around with pregnant
- 11:45wildebeests. You got any other smartass
- 11:47questions cuz I ain't see you bring your
- 11:48[ __ ] ass up here yet. There's the link,
- 11:50but you won't come. Just like your
- 11:52woman.
- 11:53If you got one. Or you probably got
- 11:55somebody who identifies as a woman whose
- 11:57real birth name on his birth certificate
- 11:59was Trevor. Cuz here's a fun fact,
- 12:01nobody wants you. Nobody knows you. I
- 12:03can smell the [ __ ] on you from here.
- 12:05Let me explain something to you. Dwayne
- 12:07Carter the second famously said
- 12:09something that I am going to quote. I
- 12:11ain't never ran from a tether and I damn
- 12:13sure ain't about to pick the day to
- 12:15start running. Where you though? In my
- 12:17comments like a little [ __ ] boy
- 12:20you old they/them half a homo looking
- 12:22ass. You probably think Benzino sexy.
- 12:23You probably go
- 12:26That's you right now. This probably
- 12:27turns you on. Man looking like a shaved
- 12:29Wookie. Mr. Spock around the ears,
- 12:31Quagmire around the jaws, and a goddamn
- 12:34body suit around the face. I'm not the
- 12:36one you [ __ ] with, homie. I promise you.
- 12:38Keep trying not to cuss, but there's
- 12:40always one up in here. Oh, sweet chuck
- 12:42ass. Probably got a collection of clear
- 12:43heels that would make strippers jealous.
- 12:45I'm not him. I'm him. You will never, on
- 12:48your best day, come close to the things
- 12:50I forgot I accomplished. So, if I want
- 12:52to spend my time making jokes, who are
- 12:55you? I I know what it is. Hold on. I
- 12:56know what I know what your problem is. I

- 13:02going to help you out cuz right now
- 13:04you're upset. So, I'm going to help you
- 13:06out. I'm going to sign a copy of the
- 13:07real black agenda for your [ __ ] I'm

- 13:32I know has a a chain of barbecue joints.
- 13:34He's a friend of mine. His name is Dave
- 13:36Anderson. Other than him, I need you to
- 13:37pipe down, fix your pink panty thong,
- 13:40adjust your tampons that you got shoved
- 13:42up your bussy hole, and let grown ass
- 13:44men show you what masculinity looks
- 13:46like. Are Are we good now? Or does
- 13:48somebody else want something? Okay,
- 13:49cool. So, I'm going to get back to my
- 13:50show. This dog faced gremlin is sitting
- 13:53up here talking about we didn't build
- 13:54anything. We built the very land upon
- 13:56which you stand, you shaved boiled Ewok
- 13:59looking thing. Bro, you couldn't even
- 14:00hold on to your magazine. What have we
- 14:02built? Everything. We built the very
- 14:05genre of music which is how we built all
- 14:06American genres of music that you tried
- 14:09to get on and you let a white man flame
- 14:11you giving your own album five mics. The
- 14:13only mics you've ever had is in the in
- 14:15your [ __ ] sessions behind closed
- 14:17doors. And everybody knows, allegedly,
- 14:18supposedly, for entertainment purposes
- 14:20only. Sitting at the crib behind your
- 14:21computer, y'all ain't built a
- 14:23[ __ ] thing. The term mother
- 14:24[ __ ]
- 14:25comes from the fact that our former
- 14:27enslavers would put bags on our heads
- 14:30and make us procreate with our own
- 14:32relatives. Thus, the term mother
- 14:35You would know that if you read Dr.
- 14:36Frances Cress Welsing, but we know you
- 14:38haven't read the Isis papers. Hell, I
- 14:39don't even think you can read. We're not
- 14:40going to do this. This man is trash. He
- 14:42has been trash. His raps are trash. His
- 14:45magazine is trash. I'm sorry, it's not
- 14:46even his magazine. It ain't been his
- 14:47magazine in almost 20 years.
- 14:50>> [music]
- 14:51>> How do you have time to lecture
- 14:53foundational black Americans when you
- 14:54can't even keep the business that you
- 14:56allegedly built? And didn't you build
- 14:58that business with a white man? Oh,
- 14:59okay, cool.
- 15:03Yes. And it it's it's not AAVE anymore.
- 15:06It's FBAVE.
- 15:07>> The people that built it were Africans
- 15:10that came over to this land. After
- 15:11[ __ ] thing.
- 15:13The people that built it were Africans
- 15:16that came over to this land. After
- 15:17>> Point of correction, Ray. Less than 3%
- 15:20of the transatlantic slave trade came
- 15:21here. So, between 300,000 and 400,000
- 15:24people, you know a lot of us were
- 15:25already here. I suggest you read They
- 15:27Came Before Columbus by Dr. Ivan Van
- 15:29Sertima, and then I need you to read
- 15:31Lerone Bennett Jr.'s Before the
- 15:32Mayflower. Then, I need you to just look
- 15:35around. And then there is another book.
- 15:38Unlike Ray Benzino, I have a library, so
- 15:40I read. There is a book by a man named
- 15:43Roy Beck called Back of the Hiring Line.
- 15:45You should read it. It's a really good
- 15:46book. And basically what it does is it
- 15:48breaks down the Ellis Island myth. You
- 15:50know, "Oh, they just came over here
- 15:51because they wanted a better
- 15:52opportunity." No, the dominant society
- 15:54wanted to create a situation where they
- 15:57got rid or outpaced the most skilled
- 16:01laborers on the face of the planet,
- 16:03which were foundational Black Americans.
- 16:04So, they went and got the Italians, they
- 16:06went and got the Irish, they went and
- 16:09got poor Brits. So, what are we talking
- 16:11about? I am not going to stand idly by
- 16:14while these people try to take credit
- 16:16for who we are.
