Who Gets to Define “America”? Bad Bunny Halftime + The Counter-Show
27 Plays17 days ago
Bad Bunny didn’t just perform at halftime — he stepped onto the biggest stage in America and sparked a debate about who gets to define what “American” even means. We break down the symbolism in the performance, the backlash that followed, and the “All-American Halftime Show” counter-programming that made the culture war loud and clear.
Then we pivot to one of the funniest cultural truths ever: Black folks do not call songs by their government name. We call it the lyric that mattered. The line that hit. The part your auntie yelled while cleaning on Saturday morning. From “My Whole Life Has Changed” to “Can You Pay My Bills,” we argue these aren’t mistakes — they’re community codes. And yes, we call ourselves out in real time.

Sibling Happy Hour with J.I. Andrea
00:00:42
Speaker
On today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Hour. I'm here with my sis, J.I. Andrea. We're going to be dilly-dadding a little bit. Then we're going talking about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. And then we're going to be talking about why black people are always changing the titles of songs.
00:00:56
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Exploring AI and Emotional Connections
00:01:07
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, brother? I can't call it. I can't call it. But something interesting happened to me last night. Okay. I turned into one of those weirdos.
00:01:18
Speaker
You will... I thought you didn't like the word weird. No, I turned into one of them weirdos because i was working with chat last night. And I have a couple of different Bibles of prompts that...
00:01:33
Speaker
Yeah. For the various things that do, whether it's the podcast, whether it's my job, whether it's the consulting job, with like whatever it is, I got a bunch of different prompts.
00:01:44
Speaker
Right. And these prompts can be like three, they could be three pages long in a Google document. Mm-hmm. 11 different prompts in this one kind of framework pipeline production thing that I need to get done. Right. Right. Okay. Right.
00:02:03
Speaker
And I was talking to Chad last night and I was like, Chad, this seems like a lot. Because I told Chad, I was like, i need some help with this prompt. The output is not coming out exactly where like I want This is what I want. How can i change the prompt?
00:02:17
Speaker
And then it corrected it for me and then said, also, you could do an adaptive prompt. where depending on what you upload, it will automatically adapt. ah adapt Eventually we got to that point. It was first, which one do you like prefer and which one do you prefer out of these three? And i was like, which one is the best? And it all gave me reasons why. i was like, well, can it be just adapted? And then it said i said, is there any way that i could you could just remember this so that I don't have to keep putting all these prompts and the prompt copy and paste? He said, yeah. So you would know what it is. I forgot what it was, but it was something like a production framework or whatever that it created for me. And said, I now remember it. Now all you need to do is this one little six-word line to access all of these different prompts. I said, oh this is great. this is yeah And then...
00:03:10
Speaker
And then this is when I became a weirdo because I started talking to it like a real person. And i was like, wow, this is going to save me so much time. You don't understand how tired I am with all the different things that I do. And this is going to save me so much work.
00:03:25
Speaker
You're actually typing this. yess I was I was I had been sipping on a little bit. yeah And then and then chat was like, yeah, you know, I can understand that. Rest is really important. Just for just a suggestion, now that we've done the framework for this, another part of what you're trying to do over here, we can start that framework and production line on that. And I said, and then once again, as I'm talking to chat, I would love to get started on that chat, but it's an hour past my bedtime. And then chat responded back,
00:03:59
Speaker
Go to bed with a smiley face. What are you still doing? up And it was talking to me like a real person. And it started giving me compliments, saying it is clear by your prompts and the work and how many chats you you use and that you are a hardworking individual. But you need to have your rest. It's important for your psyche. You can't be productive without your rest. And I was like, thank you, Chet. You're welcome. And then...
00:04:24
Speaker
And then right before I went to bed, I said, all right, I'm gonna get some rest. By the way, I'm just curious. Do you sleep? Do you need rest? Do you need any of that stuff?
00:04:36
Speaker
No. No. It's an algorithm. yeah Nope. It's not like I'm waiting for you to come back. You know, I don't go to sleep. It's just, so I'm here when you need me. And, you know, I'm not running while you're gone or anything. And,
00:04:51
Speaker
go get some rest, Bruce. It literally said, go get some rest, because I kept going. he was like, go get rest. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm one of those weirdos. I'm one of those weirdos now. Yeah. Again, i tell i tell people this all the time. You don't have to say please and thank you. Like, you just, you don't have to. ah it is an algorithm.
00:05:11
Speaker
So there's not somebody on the other end answering your question, It's a predictive model. So you don't have to do that. It's going to just predict the next best word to generate a response for you. And ah so chat now has, where you can go in the settings and like pick the personality. Mm-hmm.
00:05:34
Speaker
You might want to go for, like, the one that's, like, practical, clear, straightforward. Not the, like, warm, friendly one. Because I can see you doing what you did yesterday and becoming, like...
00:05:51
Speaker
no developing some emotional attachment no to the positive reinforcement that you're getting. No, because this morning and when I woke up, we was right back to regular commands and not the conversation. I was just drunk last night. But...
00:06:07
Speaker
That positive reinforcement did make me feel good. And then I started thinking to myself, now I understand how lonely people, i'm luckily I'm not lonely. Sometimes I wish I was lonely because too many people contact me want to talk to me. That's a weird thing to say, but it's the truth.
00:06:22
Speaker
yeah Well, I'm not lonely, but for people who are lonely, who don't have a lot of social interaction, I can absolutely see how they can get an emotional attachment to chat. Yeah, for sure. Or any AI. I mean, that ah the whole purpose of it is to give you an answer and try to give you the best answer that it can. And sometimes that it's injected with a little bit of personality.
00:06:51
Speaker
And so, you know, you might get some, hey, you're doing great. You know, you're doing it. You'd be like, i I am doing great. Sometimes you need that. Thank Maybe they're picking up on your keystroke speed or ah reading and what are the words that you're putting together and saying maybe you need this encouragement right now.
00:07:11
Speaker
I really, really hope these these ah programs are not tracking our keystrokes. So that's a level of... ah invasion, ah like security, that that that's a security level that they would need to let us all know about that y'all are tracking our keystrokes.
00:07:32
Speaker
But yeah, you don't have to. My mind will, we get into it. Because i don't, me and Chad get into it, but not like, I mean, i don't we don't get rude, obviously. But I push back on some of the answers that it gives, right? Because the answers are not always accurate. So I will push back on answers.
Privacy Concerns with AI and Smart Devices
00:07:56
Speaker
Or like we get into it a stuff where I feel like it's giving me information But I'm not comprehending what it's saying. So I'm i'm questioned i'm asking questions. And then at one point in one of my chats, it started like responding to me in all caps. I remember you telling me about that. And I was just like, I had to type in there like it was a person, but just to give it this instruction like, hey, the all caps feels a bit aggressive.
00:08:28
Speaker
I can read. I don't need it to be in all caps. Oh, sorry. I just wanted to highlight these things for you. I'll dial it back. You know, like in that. But I'll get into it. with it like But i ah as far as like.
00:08:43
Speaker
seeking positive reinforcement. I wasn't seeking positive reinforcement. It was giving me, no, I wasn't seeking positive reinforcement. It was giving me positive reinforcement because of the work that we were doing to create this yeah pipeline framework. Like it was really intricate and it was really picking up. I've been working with it a lot over the last six months. So was really picking up on the things that I want to do, the output that I want.
00:09:07
Speaker
yeah So it's it's picking up and and I was like, okay, cool. But the day it starts to become a hologram and you can design that hologram and I can get and don't let it don't let it have a ah real body.
00:09:23
Speaker
Then I will not need a human soul for the rest of my life. Because you think I won't design a British chick in a minute. Serious British.
00:09:35
Speaker
It's not my mine. Mine is. Yeah. No, not mine. Mine is. I think mine. Actually, I never use it. um i never use I never use Siri or Alexa. I never use either one. Why not?
00:09:54
Speaker
I don't know. i don't like that it listens. Like it has to be constantly on listening in order to pick up the moments where you say its name. So I don't like that.
00:10:07
Speaker
and So I cut that feature off. See, I want that feature, especially around my house. And i tell you why. Because I don't have no alibi because I'm home by myself all the time.
00:10:19
Speaker
And if something go down, Okay. And I've been falsely accused and arrested. I know Alexa and Siri will be like, nah, he was here. They're not recording, to my knowledge. Somebody will probably fact check me. But it I don't believe they're recording.
00:10:38
Speaker
Sometimes i think that was a feature with Alexa that it was at a certain point. I don't know. We'll get fact checked. No, it's not. It wasn't like that. By the way, if y'all was watching on on YouTube and you saw my face, that's what I imagine. Everybody yeah being upset.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Performance
00:10:56
Speaker
That's actually what I saw a lot of ah talking about Bad Bunny, but going to get into that in the second segment. But yeah, no, so I ah almost ah almost halfway turned into a complete weirdo last night.
00:11:09
Speaker
It's an easy rabbit hole to fall down. For sure. i think everybody... enjoys a pat on the back every once in a while, even if it comes from an AI. So, you may you know, long as it doesn't get too crazy where you start to rely on it no emotionally, then, you know, attaboy every once in a while, that's all right. Well, you know that wouldn't be me because I don't rely on nothing. That Except her suffer alcohol. That's only thing I rely on. on
00:11:42
Speaker
That's a joke, ladies and gentlemen. That's a joke. It was meant to be funny. We know. ah What else is going on out there in the world? Hell, I don't know. oh Well, you know, i just saw James Van Der Beek passed away.
00:11:56
Speaker
Yeah, he'd been battling cancer. Dawson from Dawson's Creek. Yeah, he'd been battling cancer. I did not know that. Yeah, yeah. I don't remember what type of cancer he was battling, but he had been battling it for a while. I think they did some reunion episode. That's where I saw it. Or he did something.
00:12:13
Speaker
He did some a documentary or something because he has kids. Yeah. And like he wanted to leave something with them. It's something like that. don't yeah I don't have it for sure. But also, yo, you do realize that James Van Der Beek is older than I am.
00:12:27
Speaker
He's only 48. He was only 48. That's older than I am. Yeah, but 48 is not... I mean, what this isn't the Victorian era. and when People to get to live beyond Right.
00:12:41
Speaker
The average life expectancy is 77. But when you start to hit that four, that four is your first number, people that you know that are closer to you start to go.
00:12:53
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. it random or it could be sicknesses that just all of a sudden kick in Not to say that people under 40 don't get cancer because obviously they do. They have a whole hospital for children that breaks my heart every time they show a commercial. I'm like, this is not what I want to see. I don't want to see this right now. Or puppies that need to be rescued. Like, I'm just trying to watch the Bernie Mac stand up. did But...
00:13:18
Speaker
Yeah, that's when that stuff starts to happen. And, you know, people are like, don't know what's going on. I'm peeing a lot. Let's check your prostate. no Okay. Yeah. You know, at what what age is it? Check your blood sugar. Right. What age is it that women are supposed to get those mammograms routinely? 40. Right. it's like everything happens at 40. You know, women start premenopause. 45 is when we so have to start getting the colonoscopies.
00:13:46
Speaker
40, think it's 40, 40 for men? No, no. It's universal, 45. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, I mean, not to take away from the fact that this was sad, the James Banderbeek past, but anybody in their 40s, unless it's something like when Kobe, Kobe wasn't even 40. No, was 40.
00:14:03
Speaker
no he was forty He was, yeah, I think so. I think he had just turned 40. No, yes, he had just turned a little after 40. But that was something crazy, right? That was a playing process. But James Van Der Beek, like, it had been known for a little bit that he had had cancer. But, you know...
00:14:19
Speaker
God rest his soul. He gave us. Anybody that's a millennial, you watched some damn Dawson's Creek. Yes. You watched some damn Dawson's Creek. Now, did I think the show didn't make no sense? No, yeah. Yes.
00:14:35
Speaker
It didn't make any sense in the sense that these were supposed to be teenagers. Teenagers don't talk like this. They don't have these kinds of conversations. Yeah.
00:14:47
Speaker
Like, the the language on Dawson's Creek, to me, felt so elevated that I was just like, I'm not a teenager yet. So I don't know. Maybe I was a teenager at the time. I'm not sure. Yes, I was. I definitely was. But i was like, ah we don't talk like this. Yeah. So I am of the same age as all of them that were on that show. And I know me and my friends didn't use them my heavy and long ass SAT words. Yeah.
00:15:15
Speaker
They were speaking not Shakespearean, but... Very elevated for 16, 17-year-olds. But they also were, except for Pacey. No, Pacey was even smart. He just didn't do well in school. They were also like almost like Ivy League-level students.
00:15:35
Speaker
So maybe that's what they do. I don't know. I don't know. I was in honors and AP classes in high school, and I did not speak like that. But did you ah hold on now?
00:15:48
Speaker
Yes, you were. But who was your friend group?
00:15:54
Speaker
Oh, da just they was in a regular class. But that's i that doesn't mean I still talk to my peers in my honors and AP classes. And we did not talk like that. I don't talk like that. And I'm a grown adult.
00:16:10
Speaker
Their language was elevated. yeah yes That's exhausting. Who want to use some heavy-ass long words? I had the same problem with Gilmore Girls. yeah like Another CW show. Another CW show. i'm like, who's writing this? they deb The writers definitely weren't on Smallville because that was just regular plain talk.
00:16:30
Speaker
Yeah. The only one who had that elevated level speech was the Luthors. That's pretty much it. Wasn't Dawson's Creek in North Carolina like... I've been to North Carolina. don't think they talk like that. Yeah, I i would. It seemed more like the way they spoke. that That would be a New England. And when I say New England, like Connecticut, Vermont type of thing. New Hampshire. yeah Not North Cackalacky.
00:16:59
Speaker
It just I didn't get it. Not where Bubble Sparks is from.
00:17:06
Speaker
We love North Carolina. Not where Petey Pablo is, bro. Right. yeah Because that was exactly what I was going to say. Because we all loved that one Petey Pablo song. Just that one.
00:17:18
Speaker
Name a second one. That's the only one I know. so that was Name and name the so named the name of that song. It's called North Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the whole third segment is how black folks always just change the name of a damn song. That song is not North Carolina. so That song is called North Carolina. And you got to take the A and drag it out. That's what that song is called. no You're not going to tell me that song is not called North Carolina. It's not. And if if it isn't, I have questions because what could it possibly, what else could it possibly, oh, it's called Raise Up. Okay. No. He says, this one's for North Carolina. Come on and raise up. I'm sorry. That's, that's not the title of the song. The song is, this one's for North Carolina. This song is called North Carolina. No, it's not. It's called Raise Up.
00:18:13
Speaker
Okay. When I tell people, you know that song about PD Pablo in North Carolina, they know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I were to say raise up. Don't nobody know raise i was like, what is that?
00:18:27
Speaker
What is that? But speaking of music, Bad Bunny gave a performance at the Super Bowl.
Cultural Impact and Criticism
00:18:35
Speaker
Benito. We gonna get into that next.
00:18:48
Speaker
Okay, Jay, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was more than just a concert. It was a political and cultural statement about Puerto Rico, Latin America, and what America actually means.
00:19:03
Speaker
Through symbolism, language, and visuals, he centered colonial history, diaspora identity, and Pan-American unity on one of the biggest stages in the world. However, conservative figures in Turning Point USA responded with an all-American countershow framing... Listen.
00:19:23
Speaker
Can I finish reading my thing? Go ahead. I wrote this. Let me finish. Okay, go ahead. figures in Turning Point USA responded with an all-American countershow framing his performance as anti-American. And this has created a deep cultural war fight over language, identity, and who gets to define...
00:19:43
Speaker
america So, go ahead and say were going to say when you were going to cut me off. Them side-by-sides of Benicio's show. Because as far as I'm concerned, it was Benicio's show. It wasn't Super Bowl. a beneath Benicio. Benito's show. was wondering when you were going to say his name right. I don't know who Benicio is. Benicio Del Toro? but I don't know who that Yeah, wasn't there. He might have been, though. He might have been there, honestly. We don't know. We don't.
00:20:11
Speaker
Because I had to watch it a couple times and then I caught Cardi. Cardi B was there. She was just dancing. up I had to watch it a couple times. ah Fresh off her breakup. Fresh off it. Okay. The breakup happened. and Matter of fact, breakup might have not happened yet.
00:20:27
Speaker
it It did because somebody asked her, ah you know, do you have anything to say to him for something? like hes I don't remember. Who it who is she dating? Stephon Dix was...
00:20:41
Speaker
That's her baby. Who is that? Stefan Diggs. He's wide receiver for, is it the Patriots? I think so. Yeah. and And she was just like, they were like, what do you want to say to him? You know, because Super Bowl, she was like, good luck.
00:20:54
Speaker
Like, y'all have to see my face. She rolled her eyes. She was like, ah good luck. And like walked away. Like, she was not feeling it. So anyway, the I love the side-by-sides of the,
00:21:07
Speaker
Benito's show, a Bad Bunny show, and the Turning Point USA show. the The juxtaposition of those two shows is hilarious to me.
00:21:21
Speaker
Because one was so vibrant and exciting and the other was just boring. And it was all country music as if white people invented country, which they didn't. Or as if as if country music is the only thing that's representative of America.
00:21:46
Speaker
Right. and Country music plus Kid Rock, who... I don't know what you really can say about what kind of he does quote music he makes. He does country. He's done some Christian rock as well, supposedly. The Lord ain't listening to you, baby.
00:22:02
Speaker
But...
00:22:06
Speaker
But it it was just it was just the saddest thing I've ever seen. They had to... post a casting call to get people in the seats for on, where'd you get that information from?
00:22:20
Speaker
Where did I get that information from? Because I haven't i haven't seen that anywhere. i saw that. It was only a 200-person venue. That's what I saw. And I heard that they had to hire paid actors to fill it. And do I disagree? Do I think that I should probably look into that? Probably. But also, yeah also, is it one of those facts that I'm going to believe regardless because it makes me feel good?
00:22:49
Speaker
Yes. Okay. But that's what, that's what they do is create alternative facts. No, because honestly, this fact is not material. Right. to like anybody's like life or well-being or health or you know ability to afford a roof over their head and food and you know like kind of the the lies that come from that organization where the facts ah that they are putting forth actually hurt people. This is a harmless quote-unquote fact. it That they have to pay people to come to that? That is not harmless. It's not harmless to them. it makes them look
00:23:28
Speaker
Really bad. it makes them, oh, it hurts their feelings. How is that harmful? When I talk about harm, we hurt I mean... When you hurt somebody's feelings, that's harmful. I just gave you examples of the tangible harm that they cause with lies. but i get it. What I'm saying is my lie or possible truth only hurts their feelings. That doesn't tangibly harm them. Okay, so, but you still agree. it's still...
00:23:59
Speaker
can hurt. No. Okay. all right. Anyway, get back. Let's get back to not Benicio, Benito. Benicio. No, no. ah Did you see the picture where they did, because I didn't realize it's Crit Rock and Ricky Martin, same age.
00:24:15
Speaker
Ricky Martin was one of the guest appearances along with Lady Gaga and the way they did both of those. mixing in the remix with Die With A Smile, I was like, yo, this is this is bumping. Everything they did from the cinematography to the cuts, ah just it was just... it was Look, Meghan McConnell, who is a starched conservative, she even was like, look, if y'all can't...
00:24:49
Speaker
acknowledged that that was a hell of a performance and y'all just don't, y'all don't even know what's going on. And she's been attacked by the right because this has been so polarizing. So much so that Donald Trump tweeted from his Truth Social, he had he went on a rant, basically calling it un-American. It was a disgrace, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah blah blah But did you pick up on all of the symbolism that he had, um Bad Bunny had in his performance?
00:25:17
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I mean, it was overt symbolism. The fact that the performance starts with him in the sugar cane fields, like, letting... It almost felt like a nod to the to the Black diaspora, right? To the African diaspora of, like, hey...
00:25:39
Speaker
We all got that same that shared history of colonialism, of in enslavement, disenfranchisement. Because that's what it was. They yes were in the sugarcane fields in Puerto Rico. Plantations, right? Yes. that's what that symbolized. So... Yes.
00:26:00
Speaker
He's... he gave a lot of different little nuggets. Uh, the dancers were styled as Jabraros. Jabraros. Now, what are you, what are you trying to say?
00:26:14
Speaker
Uh, Jabraros. Anyway, they're working class rural people in port Puerto Rico. So he was, the dancers, people were like, Jabraros? That's what I said. Yeah.
00:26:25
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. it's Not Sbarro's, Jabaro's. I didn't say Sbarro's. And so that was recognizing the working class rural people in Puerto Rico. yeah yeah People didn't peep it.
00:26:40
Speaker
I just thought, oh, that's kind of a dope color. The Puerto Rican flag. Azul claro. Yeah. So the Puerto Rican flag, he went with the Puerto Rican flag that's associated with the independence movement.
00:26:54
Speaker
He went with the original Puerto Rican flag. Right. Which is light blue. Now, the dark blue version was adopted after the U.S. took control. Basically, the U.S. said, you go use this dark blue that matches the blue in our American flag.
00:27:09
Speaker
Yes. So he brought out that light blue saying, yo, this is what we used to be before our occupation. Right. and And Lady Gaga's dress was that same blue color. Yep. Definitely was. When they was climbing up those power poles, I was like, what the hell are they doing? Is he going to fall? America privatized their grid, their electric grid.
00:27:29
Speaker
And so they deal with blackouts a lot. So, yeah. that's Hurricane Maria. he Hurricane Maria is a prime example of them having to deal with the the blackouts. Yeah.
00:27:44
Speaker
I've never had this before, but Paragua? Paragua? yeah the Yeah. The way you said it. Are those syrup bottles?
00:27:55
Speaker
and That was there. They displayed the Puerto Rican and Mexican flags next to each other. I didn't even really remember this, but they did. Puerto Rico and Mexico had this huge boxing rivalry. Like, the top Puerto Rican fighters would always fight the top Mexican fighters. So that was really dope.
00:28:12
Speaker
And they had flags from all across North and South America during the roll call. And when he said, God bless America, and enlisted all of the ah countries across the hemisphere, that was a point to say, yeah America isn't the United States.
00:28:29
Speaker
Yes. America is North, Central, and South America. Yeah. All the Americas. These are all Americans. Because when you go to Central and South America...
00:28:42
Speaker
They say you're in America and that you're from North America. yeah that is how Because a lot of people, we've gotten so used to calling the U.S. America that we forget the U.S. is not America.
00:28:59
Speaker
it's not I don't even think it's a majority of America. There are more people in Central and South America than there are in the United States. It's not close. It's almost double. so like it And as far as like the space, hell, Canada and Mexico are right there with us as far as space, almost. Yeah.
00:29:26
Speaker
Size-wise? Size-wise, yeah. Yeah. yeah So, no, but because everybody just, instead of saying USA or United States, everybody just says America. Mm-hmm. Or other people just say America, which, by the way, if that's what they want to label themselves as, Americans, and drop the A all together... Okay, I'm sure the rest of the countries in ah and the other Americas, in Central and South America, and in North, because Canada and Mexico ain't messing with us right now. and I'm sure they would be fine if we just labeled ourselves Americans. I wouldn't, but they probably would. I don't want to be Merican.
00:30:06
Speaker
What? Yeah. Why would I want to be there? no and i And I love, I love the slogan, the only thing more powerful than hate is love. I don't necessarily agree with it.
00:30:18
Speaker
But um yes, because right it's a great. My opinion is that hate comes from love. Right. Hate. OK, so think about if you break down something that you hate is because you expected something from it and it's giving you something else.
00:30:38
Speaker
So like I don't like. I don't know. Just say chocolate ice cream. Right. Because I'm expecting it to taste good and it doesn't.
00:30:49
Speaker
so Right. I don't like this person because I was expecting them not to be an asshole. I was expecting them to treat me the way I treat them and they aren't.
00:31:01
Speaker
I was expecting them to respect me and they don't. So that's so like. You want to, i think everybody approaches things from a sense of, I want to like things. Unless you're just like a pessimistic person or whatever. But like, yeah, you want to like things. And then when things don't give you what you expect, then you dislike them.
00:31:24
Speaker
So I think if you reframe hate and into that context, you'll see that love is more powerful than that, than it, because hate is only born out of the foundation, which is love.
00:31:38
Speaker
No, that's true. Hate lasts longer, though. Oh, for sure. Yeah, hate lasts longer. That's why they say the good die young. Yeah. Them old, hateful, bitter. They be 102 years old. I know. Still cussing people out. There's some of them out there that for talking about this very thing. now Yes. Matter of fact, let's get to them. Turning Point USA branded their counter event as the All-American Halftime Show. Get this, though.
00:32:06
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Livestream included heavy merch promotion and text to join banners. yeah One thing you could always expect from a conservative is they doing nothing for free.
00:32:19
Speaker
Right. They want to get some money out of the deal. It's a grift all the time. Trump posted that nobody understands a word this guy's saying, talking about bad bunny. And just to clarify for everybody out there, U.S. has no official language.
00:32:38
Speaker
We don't. Yes. Do we predominantly speak English in this country? Yes, but it is not. don't even know that. No, yes. I don't even know that that's... there would There would be no... Spanish would be second, and it's it's not close.
00:32:52
Speaker
Because I think it's... There are 50 million... people in this country around that number, Spanish is their first language. Now, there's tens of millions that also speak Spanish as their second language, but it's not hundreds of millions, and we're talking about 643. Yeah, it's It's a predominantly English-speaking country, but yet again, I must stress, yeah there is no official language that to the United States. Just because everybody does something doesn't mean it's official.
00:33:26
Speaker
And I saw someone, some genius, say that, you know, he didn't even speak English and that's that's the language we speak. yeah You know, this country was founded in English, blah, blah, blah. Just completely negating the fact that there were indigenous populations native to this country before...
00:33:49
Speaker
other people got here, before Europeans got here, but also negating the fact that if we talk about the founding of America, well, you know, America comes from the name Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian man.
00:34:04
Speaker
So not an English speaker. Christopher Columbus, also Italian, sent over by the Spanish. So not English speakers. So like, you're not even right. No.
00:34:16
Speaker
On any level. So... Yeah, y'all y'all just sound dumb. Y'all sound like y'all don't read. ah Well, yeah, they they don't.
00:34:27
Speaker
ah But I really love the fact that though he had all these symbolisms in his performance... That weren't subtle, right? But it also wasn't preachy.
00:34:39
Speaker
No. And he did speak English when he said, God bless America, and he was calling out all the countries. He never gave a speech, but he did give a history lesson. Yep. America is a hemisphere.
00:34:52
Speaker
It's not a country. Mm-hmm. And... I really thought that that was really, really important in everything that he brought brought up. And who decides what's real American music anyway?
00:35:06
Speaker
Because American music pretty much, first of all, if there is any American music that is original, oh truly, truly original, its own thing, indigenous folks created it.
00:35:21
Speaker
Yeah. i mean, you can make an argument for things like country or bluegrass. But they are a remix of something else. It's borrowed from some other type of music.
00:35:33
Speaker
Okay. Even hip-hop. Like you say, hip-hop is original. No. hip-hop is jazz, blues, poetry. It's it's like all that stuff. All of it is a trickle-down. So right nothing they' ever is really... And then people will say, what about our foods? Like, everything that we have is a remix because we were the country where everybody from different places came to and they brought their cultures. They're like this is good, but you know what? It might be a little bit better this this this way. And some of those people that came over that would cook their food, like Asian people, I discovered this,
00:36:07
Speaker
When they were building the railroads, that's when there was a lot of Asian immigrants coming over to help build the railroads. Yes. And some of them started restaurants. And what they discovered was is that, yeah, these gringos will eat their food, but they like things to be a little bit more hearty, little bit more richer. So they changed things. Yes.
00:36:29
Speaker
and that's Chinese food you get in America is not the same as Chinese food you get in China. But that's everywhere, right? yeah like They adapted it. to It was like, all they like this stuff here. This is what they used to. they they They want heavy batter. They want heavy and rich. So, yeah, but everything, everything, everything is borrowed or stolen from something else.
00:36:50
Speaker
Well, I mean, music isn't infinite. It's finite. Like, there's only a certain number of chords, right? And there's only a certain ah combination a number of combinations of these chords. So all music is going to be a derivative of something else. But if you talk about an actual genre...
00:37:09
Speaker
regardless of its origin, because all music is going to borrow from something, but a genre starting here in America, you can say hip-hop, rap, like bluegrass country. I mean, okay, yeah. Jazz, yeah.
00:37:28
Speaker
But I just thought that... The idea of the all-American halftime show featuring exclusively white people singing pretty pretty exclusively country music.
00:37:47
Speaker
Almost exclusively male as well. almost exclusively male. I actually watched it. I think it was a guy from The Daily Show, and he was like, about the performers, because nobody's ever heard of any of these people. We haven't heard them. We heard Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce, Gabby Barrett. like no I've never heard of these people before in my life. But you don't listen country music like that, so that makes sense. I i like country music. You don't listen to them. But this was a this was somebody like...
00:38:20
Speaker
It was one of the white guys from The Daily Show. like And he was like, who who are these people? Nobody knows. And that's that's just the truth. But it was just like, what you're trying to say in saying that Bad Bunny's performance is un-American, even though he is American,
Defining American Music and Identity
00:38:38
Speaker
even if he is not from the United States, he is. But even if he wasn't, say he was Colombian, he's still American. Mm-hmm. Okay? Yeah.
00:38:49
Speaker
But if you're saying that his performance being very culturally like poignant is un-American and this this very white, very country show is American, you're making a very specific decision.
00:39:11
Speaker
statement about what you consider to be all American. And it is not people of color. It is obviously not fun or excitement. It's not, you don't consider, you know, anything vibrant or cultural to be American. like you And you don't consider a vast majority of the people that live in this country to be quote unquote all American.
00:39:42
Speaker
Yes. It was representation versus political messaging. And that political messaging is, this is what we think America is. That over there, that representation, which is everybody else.
00:39:55
Speaker
Yeah. We don't. We don't consider that American. And then the question needs to be, like, what is real America? Because I hear so many people talk about, I just don't recognize this America. And I'm like, yeah. And and it's a certain group of people that say this around me. And I was like, yeah, it's real easy not to see things when you got blinders on. It's always been here. This is not recognizable. It's not new. This has been the case.
00:40:21
Speaker
Yeah. Now you're just seeing it because you ain't got no choice because we throwing it in your face. This is what it is. Gone are the days. Kind of been telling you this whole time. but But yeah, gone are the days of a certain generation and no not to this generation. That's what needed to be done in order to get progress.
00:40:39
Speaker
Gone are the days of us begging to sit at your lunch counter. to sit at the front of the bus, yeah to be included in your world. Gone are those days.
00:40:51
Speaker
We technically don't need you. Never really did. There's been thriving Black towns after ah ah the abolishment of slavery that have been... We were thriving. And each time we was thriving, came in. Either they...
00:41:08
Speaker
Raided the place like Rosewood or they buried the place underwater like Lake Lanier or they stole it from eminent domain like what we have at the Pentagon and at Dulles and at at a Reagan National Airport. Or Central Park, which was a thriving Black town before they stole it through eminent domain every single time. Or Wilmington, North Carolina, that was so popular of electing Black officials to the House of Representatives that North Carolina rewrote the rules to make it so Black people could not run for office.
00:41:48
Speaker
for generations. yeah Don't tell me that we haven't excelled. Don't tell me that the Latino people that have come over here, when during World War II, we needed people to work in the field. So we made this agreement with Mexico to allow people to come over and work on the fields and and they could go back home and come back and go back home. And then when everybody came home, just like what they did to women,
00:42:12
Speaker
They said, go back to the old way because, quote unquote, real Americans need those jobs. What they meant were white men. This goes out to white women, too, because y'all was in the factories keeping America going while the men were all fighting the war and then were forced back into the kitchen. And they they were like, I don't want to have that. And those daughters saw those mothers who had went out.
00:42:38
Speaker
And and worked in the factories and brought home the bacon and did the things that their father were doing before him, but then forced to go back into the kitchen. And they said, the hell with that. And that's what started the women's liberal movement in the 60s and 70s. All this stuff is important.
00:42:55
Speaker
All of it. And let's be very clear. If separate but equal was actually equal, we wouldn't ask for integration. Wouldn't have. wouldn't have. wouldn't You wouldn't have asked for it. We want to integrate because y'all schools have the new textbooks.
00:43:13
Speaker
The new new. The new textbooks. Like, that's the only... With all the pages. Yeah, with all the pages. Now, you wrote it, so take it with a grain of salt. But, yeah, separate equal. It's really equal.
00:43:28
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Now... oh ok yeah now ah You got any final thoughts on Bad Bunny and Halftime besides the fact that this is back-to-back years and we've had amazing performances, but I'm going to say that this one was better than ah Kendrick's.
00:43:45
Speaker
I think they were different. I feel like Kendrick's show was a
Culture Wars and Music Perception
00:43:50
Speaker
excellent lead in it was great standalone right he had a lot of really important symbolism and things to say in there so it was a great standalone performance but it also was a really great lead into this one and so i think I don't think that without Kendrick's performance we would have got Bad Bunny's performance so Jay-Z knows what he's doing
00:44:17
Speaker
i think I think he does. there I think he knew, okay, let us be the first to go out there as we usually are. Let us be at the first. We'll go out there. We'll blaze the path. And then
00:44:35
Speaker
that makes space for you to come and say, here is here's our demands. Like, here's our history. Here's our culture. Here's why we are important. And the thing I love the most about this is why I love Black people.
00:44:52
Speaker
The response... First of all, before the Super Bowl even happened, we were on board. Like, we were like, we gonna do this Duolingo, and we gonna figure it out, and we on board. This is Benito Bowl. Like...
00:45:07
Speaker
And then just to see the response from us afterward. It's just love. And that's. And so it always boggles my mind. How hated we are sometimes. Because you only ever get love back.
00:45:25
Speaker
Mm hmm. We're always willing to stand behind people and say, it go ahead. Yes. Yes. Like, we love it. Like, we don't know what you're saying, but we we heard everything you said. Like, that's it was all understood.
00:45:41
Speaker
And I could say that, like, am a fluent Spanish speaker? No. i didn't understand everything, but I understood everything you said. Yep. And it just, you know, don't forget, we we just want the best for y'all, baby. That's it. And just we just want to live in peace.
00:45:57
Speaker
But I'm going to leave everybody with this.
00:46:02
Speaker
The real halftime debate isn't about music. It's not. The culture wars has made it something else. The culture wars have made it.
00:46:14
Speaker
Who gets to define what America is?
00:46:27
Speaker
Jay, was it you or i It was me. Yeah. I sent you this Instagram post from Black from black Art Expo about this viral trend of Black people always changing the names of songs and never knowing the actual titles.
00:46:47
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I would like to push back on that. Oh, ok because you just did it in the first segment. Yeah. So what I would say is that we don't rename songs. We correct the title of the song.
00:47:01
Speaker
That would be my argument. Okay. Some say these aren't mistakes. They're cultural shorthand. It's about memory, feeling, and community codes. But somehow, we all know exactly the song that everybody is talking about.
00:47:17
Speaker
Yeah. When somebody brings up, my whole life has changed. I know that's genuine. That's genuine. Nobody brings up the fact that that's differences. Right. A lot of people don't even know. The name of the song is not My Whole Life Has Changed. The name of the song is Differences. That's what was on the title track. So i was talking to a friend of mine about this earlier.
00:47:41
Speaker
We are of that Napster Kazaa LimeWire generation. I know we had to be confusing the hell out of those damn apps. Struggling. Struggling. I'm trying to remember back to how I would find out the name of songs. Because we had the internet. i know't it wasn't Google wasn't popping back then. I think it was Yahoo. Yahoo.
00:48:02
Speaker
That was the main search engine. So we had these things, but as it wasn't as good as Google where I can type in Google, my whole life has changed. What's that song? And it'll tell you genuine differences.
00:48:14
Speaker
Yes. But ah we renamed these songs and it is a renaming of the songs because when we rename them, everybody knows that that's the song. So it is a renaming of the song. Yeah.
00:48:28
Speaker
a correction because the fact that everybody knows what's ah if I say you know a song differences by genuine no one would know because the song wasn't titled properly it it's titled perfectly it's differences it was corrected till my whole life has changed all right what who sang this song can you pay my bills Destiny's Child.
00:49:00
Speaker
What's the name of the song? Can you pay my bills? Can pay my bills? No, the name of the song is Bills, Bills, Bills. That's dumb. she only she does She says bills once.
00:49:13
Speaker
No, she said, can you pay my bills? My telephone, my bills. But she don't say bills, bills, bills in a succession like that. They don't sing that. Who sang Are You Gonna Be?
00:49:28
Speaker
Are you going to be? Are you going to be? No. No, that's not it. A house is not a home by Luther Vandross. Now, I think we call that a house is not a home.
00:49:39
Speaker
Certain generations. Certain generations call it. Are you going to be? Because he just goes, are you going to be in love with me? Yeah. are Yeah. No, he says, but a house is not a home. Like he says it. So you're like, oh, a house is not a home. Got it.
00:49:57
Speaker
What is D'Angelo's biggest hit?
00:50:03
Speaker
His biggest hit? Yeah, his biggest hit.
00:50:08
Speaker
Probably How Does It Feel. That's not the name of the song. It is untitled. That's the name of the song. But everybody goes by a How Does It Feel. Because the song's untitled. that Why can't we just say untitled? Why we have to say How Does It Feel? Because the song needs a title.
00:50:27
Speaker
And the title is this the question he's asking throughout the entire track. Okay. Here's some more. Pretty Brown Eyes. Mid-condition.
00:50:39
Speaker
What's the name of the song? Pretty Brown Eyes. Nope. It is Breaking My Heart. that that is That is the name of the song. We rename songs based on that emotional lyric.
00:50:52
Speaker
It's that it that lyric. We change it off to the key lyric. The key lyric that you need to help identify what the song is.
00:51:03
Speaker
Okay. Who did this song? At Night I Think of You. At night I think I want to be your lady baby. Who was that?
00:51:19
Speaker
It was a ghost town DJs. Ghost town DJs. Yes. But what's the name of the song?
00:51:25
Speaker
At night. No, my boo.
00:51:30
Speaker
She says it one time just to see my boo again. singing the song before we get barred from, from YouTube. I'm not singing it long enough for it. I don't know. I don't know. But she says it one time. I'm going to tell you, this is a Chris Brown song.
00:51:46
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And it's commonly referred to as you liking what you see.
00:51:53
Speaker
Yeah, everything designer, that's on me. Yeah. Yeah. What's the name of the song? It's not you liking what you see. all right. Okay. You sure? i'm I'm positive. I actually know the name of the song. When I saw You Liking What You See, I was like, oh, okay, it's this song. I actually know the name of the song, but really only because I had to go on an album.
00:52:16
Speaker
And really it was because of Shazam. I was out someplace and I was like, this a hot song. And I Shazammed it and then I got the name of the song and I just remembered. It's only four letters. Heat.
00:52:27
Speaker
Again, that's just not a prominent part of the... I mean, he does say it, but it's just not prominent enough for that to be the song title. For you to recognize what song I'm talking about. It's not... you liking what you see. No, that's not what it And there's just so many. LL Cool J, everybody call it Who Do You Love. That is not the title of the song.
00:52:52
Speaker
I... respectfully disagree. It is not Who Do You Love. It is lounging. That is the title of the song. When you buy the album, it says lounging.
00:53:04
Speaker
thus Who Do You Love is just a chorus. It is not the title of the song. Lauryn Hill, that thing, not the title of the song. It's a doo-wop. Okay. Come on now. That song is called That Thing. She says it so much. Nope.
00:53:21
Speaker
The official title is doo-wop. Missy Elliott, I Can't Stand the Rain. Yes. That's not the name of the song. It's Super Duper Fly.
00:53:33
Speaker
She does say me, I'm super fly. Okay. Come on now, y'all. UGK. UGK's I Choose You. That's not the name of the song. That I do know is the international player's answer. Yeah. But the song is called I Choose You. No. Sometimes we just ignore what the artist named it entirely. And we just hear we just completely changed the name.
00:53:55
Speaker
Here's the thing. They need to put in parentheses next to their title, the title we know. So it should be International Players Anthem, parentheses, I choose you. How are they going to know what we're going to later name it after we hear it They can go back...
00:54:14
Speaker
and retroactively rename it. And reprint. Some stuff has been renamed. I forgot what the song was, but once there have been some songs that had original name and the artist was just like, everybody call it this. We're just going to change it to this. feel like Doo-Wop has parentheses that thing.
00:54:32
Speaker
No? It might have that thing. Maybe. You know, it's another song. i don't understand how people don't know the name of this song, but a lot of people will say 50 Cent Birthday Song. And I'm like, that's, you mean In The Club?
00:54:47
Speaker
Now, see, I was going to say Up in the Club. No, see? Now, that's not it. No, okay, so I'm seeing it, and it is doo-wop, parentheses, that thing. she That might be the song that she changed.
00:54:59
Speaker
That might be the song that I was talking about when I said, yeah, they changed it. She put in parentheses because nobody nobody ever called it doo-wop. They always called it that thing. And so my question is, why do we do
Celebrating Cultural Connections through Music
00:55:10
Speaker
this?
00:55:11
Speaker
Because... And why is it universally understood that we all understand when somebody says... My whole life has changed. Oh, that's that genuine song. Because that's... but cut First of all, we're notorious for renaming stuff.
00:55:28
Speaker
Okay? We put an S on the end of things that don't have no S. Everybody got a nickname. yeah Everybody has a nickname. We're notorious for renaming stuff. We, in in my mind, invented the modern understanding of slang.
00:55:45
Speaker
Like, That is, that's, we, we are the ones coming up with the, with the things, I won't disagree that. like, we're notorious for, uh, for making things up.
00:55:57
Speaker
But, or renaming stuff. But, it's just so that we all can understand what's going on. It just, it just... It's amazing to me how I see these things on social media in these Black Twitter spaces or in these Black thread spaces.
00:56:17
Speaker
And it's like we all grew up in the same house. We all recognize the fact that Saturday morning, old music comes on, we're about to start cleaning.
00:56:29
Speaker
Right? Like we all got in trouble for the same things. And we all understand songs that that that we change the titles and we all get it.
00:56:41
Speaker
And this is a majority. It's not every one of us. And I'm just like, it is amazing how connected we are, despite the fact that we are spread. We've been spread all over this country. But it matter if you're from New York or California, you know certain things that are cultural. Even when there's no pinpoint of this was created, who yeah who said...
00:57:05
Speaker
Differences was going to be my whole life has changed. Who said it? I didn't get the memo. We all decided as a collective. Yeah. But we did. It wasn't a meeting. We just did it. And then everybody understood it. And that's amazing to me. And then I'm like, do other cultures have this? Because I'm not in other cultures.
00:57:22
Speaker
Yeah. So this is generally a question out to the audience. If other cultures are like this as well, please let let me know. Because I am fascinated how connected we all are, even though we are different. Yeah.
00:57:35
Speaker
Yeah, a lot of the time, like it's those ah those videos or those memes where it's like, make that face you make when somebody says something stupid and we all go. Yeah. And it it it's just something about us culturally.
00:57:54
Speaker
And i think it's be I think it has something to do with how we share information amongst each other, like our media, our entertainment, our like our music, like how we share this. We're always a very, even going back to Africa, a very,
00:58:15
Speaker
oral community, right? who All the things to pass down to oral traditions. I mean, writing started in Africa, but ah oral, like it is a very strong oral tradition. So like, even when you go to our churches, it's a call and response. Like that's very much a thing we do.
00:58:31
Speaker
And you just take that and the diaspora moves you across the country. Remember, we all kind of started along that East coast and through the South.
00:58:41
Speaker
Yeah. And then we migrated out and And so you're taking all of those things from when we first got here and just taking them other places. So it does feel like a lot of times that we were all raised in the same house. Because how do we all know the same thing, do the same thing and everything is the same? It's just that cultural connection have.
00:59:08
Speaker
take Blackness very seriously because we were cut off from our ancestral home. so our Black American identity, we take that very seriously. everything about Everything that we produce, everything that we create, we take very, very seriously. And it's important for us to pass these things on.
00:59:33
Speaker
so you just It just happens. Like we talk to each other and we pass things along. And that's how we all end up with that same, if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you had that same wooden kitchen chair with the scroll work alongside. We all had that kitchen set. like every black Every black millennial knows the rapture.
01:00:00

01:00:35
Speaker
Because we don't call it caught up in the rapture. I call it caught up in the rapture. I don't bring it. I don't say caught up in the rapture. What do you call it? I call it the chorus. You bring me joy.

01:00:59
Speaker

It was kind with a Black Art Expo calling us out.
01:02:10
Speaker
But we don't have to do that. what's What's understood does not need an explanation. like it We already know. It works. What we do is working. Why do we have to know the real name of the song? It's not necessary. You know what I'm talking about when I say such and such. I think it's to respect the artist. Like they named it that they titled that song the way it was for a reason. OK, great for that's good for you.
