Video Description:

Early in his political career, Bernie Sanders was foursquare against the two-party system, insisting that true change could NEVER come from within the Democratic Party. That messaging was quickly abandoned when Bernie himself ran for president in the Democratic Party primaries, only to be outmaneuvered and outright cheated out of the nomination by party insiders. Yet even though he now admits to the party’s duplicity and double-dealing, he continues to funnel revolutionary energy into the dead-end that is the Democratic Party

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Bernie’s illogical adherence to the two-party system.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video analyzes Bernie Sanders' perceived hypocrisy regarding his stance on the Democratic Party, contrasting his earlier criticisms with his current support.

Key Points:

• Bernie's Past Criticism: The video highlights Sanders' earlier stance against the two-party system, particularly the Democratic Party, arguing that real change couldn't come from within.
• Flip-Flop Allegation: The hosts accuse Sanders of abandoning his principles when he ran as a Democrat and subsequently supported Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden despite alleged unfair treatment by the party.
• Admission of Democratic Party Issues: The video emphasizes a clip where Sanders seemingly admits that the Democratic Party could be considered a threat to democracy due to unfair primary processes.
• Political Expediency: The hosts argue that Sanders' actions are driven by political self-interest and a desire to remain within the Democratic Party establishment, rather than a genuine commitment to his original ideals.
• Third Party Alternative: The video references Sanders' past support for a "rainbow coalition" outside the Democratic Party, questioning why he no longer advocates for such a movement.

Highlights:

• The core of the video revolves around a clip from Andrew Schultz's show where Bernie Sanders appears to agree that the Democratic Party could be seen as a threat to democracy.
• The hosts repeatedly accuse Sanders of being a "phony" and a "flip-flopper" for supporting the Democratic Party despite its flaws.
• The video criticizes Sanders' current efforts to support Democratic candidates like AOC, arguing that he is helping to prop up a system he once opposed.

It's a catchy song with a great beat, among other things...

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: Tim Dillon reacts to Kanye West's new song, focusing on the controversial "Hile Hitler" lyric in the chorus.

Key Points:

• Catchiness vs. Controversy: Dillon acknowledges the song's catchiness and artistic video but recognizes the controversy surrounding the "Hile Hitler" lyric. He admits to listening to the song repeatedly despite the controversial chorus.
• Dillon's Mother's Quote: He humorously recalls his mother's twisted version of "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all," replacing it with "If you don't have something nice to say, hyle Hitler."
• Deeper Meaning & Symbolism: Dillon suggests looking beyond the surface level and considering the potential deeper meaning or symbolism behind the lyric. He questions "What do you mean?" instead of just reacting to the words themselves.
• Musical Choice: Dillon proposes that the phrase "Hile Hitler" might be a musical choice due to its three-syllable structure fitting the song's rhythm, unlike alternatives like "love all people."
• Kanye's Children: Dillon briefly touches on Kanye's desire to have his children back and questions whether the other parent is necessarily a better influence.
• Del Taco Scenario: Dillon humorously describes a hypothetical situation where one is compelled to sing the chorus with a Del Taco employee, emphasizing the awkwardness and the need to participate in the moment despite disagreeing with the lyrics.

Highlights:

• Dillon's humorous and satirical take on the controversy.
• His suggestion that the lyric might be a musical choice rather than a purely ideological statement.
• The absurd scenario of being forced to sing the chorus at a drive-thru.

The Meaning Behind The Song: Peace Dream by Dave, Archive Link: https://archive.is/V9KqT

Archive Link: https://archive.is/iPk4T

“They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” is the lead single from Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s debut album Mecca and the Soul Brother. The song pays tribute to their friend Troy “Trouble T-Roy” Dixon, who was a back-up dancer for Heavy D & The Boyz when he died after an accidental fall following a show in 1990. He was 22 years old.

In a 2010 interview with XXL magazine commemorating the 20 year anniversary of Trouble T-Roy’s passing, CL Smooth talked about his process for writing the song:

"I wrote ’T.R.O.Y.‘ in '92 […] It had been in my head but I just couldn’t put it together and [one day] I wrote it right there in the studio and just recorded it. […] It just took me about an hour to write it, it was the last record [for the Mecca and the Soul Brother album]. […] My whole plight was to make the best record possible for people to like, for people to respect and know it’s genuine."

In a 2011 interview with Complex, Pete Rock talked about the creation of the track:

"I found the record [for the sample] when I was digging with Large Professor. I made the base of the beat at my house, and I finished the rest at his house using his SP-950. […] CL came up with the lyrics even before I came up with the beat. He didn’t have the beat [to write to]. He already had the song written. The beat made me emotional so I figured it would work. When the lyrics came together with the music, that was the match made in heaven. Thank God it matched the way it did. It was a great outcome."

The bassline and now-iconic saxophone riff were sampled from Tom Scott’s cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “Today.” The drums were sampled from James Brown’s “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud,” and the song’s intro was sampled from “When She Made Me Promise” by The Beginning of the End.

“T.R.O.Y.” topped Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks chart and reached #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song has become a hip-hop classic from the ‘90s boom bap/jazz rap era. It has been referenced by numerous artists, while also being featured on several “best of” lists, including The Source’s 100 Best Rap Singles of All Time as well as Rolling Stone ranking the song #12 on their list of the 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time and #430 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.^[[1] https://genius.com/Pete-rock-and-cl-smooth-they-reminisce-over-you-troy-lyrics]
