I listen to the Black Guy Who Tips Podcast because Rodin Karen are hard.

There's a racial component to the issue of success. There's no two ways about it. There's one way about it.

In my theory, especially with those successes that we cherish in Black music, I feel like the common denominator as a late is that a lot of Black artists take between three to 18 years to put out a new record.

Why does it take that long when Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robertson need to eight months? And James Brown need less than that.

And the two years it used to take Slice Stone was considered an eternity. I don't think it's an accident.

Making things is a psychological process and delay is a common form of self-sabotage. Why would you sabotage yourself as a Black artist?

I can't speak for everyone, but I think there's a strong strain of survivor's guilt if you come from a place of poverty or cultural dedecuity from a place where you're disadvantaged when you're growing up.

Suddenly in the blink of an eye, your life changes and not because you were forced to fit into a system necessarily, but because you were being yourself. Why did that happen? What would make you so lucky? When this happens there's lots of guilt.

A good example would be Alinaverson. How do you emerge from poverty and obscurity in the prominence? How do you squander so much money as such a young age?

And how do you think of yourself as you're going through that entire process? I used to think about how Black artists treated their audiences and to see it as cool when they seemed not to respect the process.

When Miles Davis used to perform, he would turn his back on the audience. His whole persona was a constant middle finger at society.

But when I started digging deeper, I found that people, even Miles, a genius several times over, wanted to reject the public before the public rejected them.

I can name seven or eight artists who overthinking, talk themselves out of the situation.

And Mike Rebiglius, don't think twice one of seven creatives in a comedy troupe played by Keegan Michael Key has offered the chance to appear on Saturday Night Live as show.

The movie doesn't show him struggling with race exactly. He's a fairly white black guy within the comedy world. But he definitely struggles with survivors guilt partly because his girlfriend played by Jillian Jacobs is one of the members of the troupe that he's leaving behind.

And remember, these things are subjective. What makes one person better than their community? When you elevate one above the group, what are the results? Do you grasp the once in a lifetime opportunity or do you throw away out of guilt?

Hey, welcome to the black outtests pie catch your host Rod. We're live on a Tuesday, right? Do some pie catching the finals on our 10th stitch of pie dramatic search the black outtests.

Leave us five star views. The official weapon of the show is an unofficial sport is a bullet ball extreme or is it a Wednesday? I think it's a Wednesday. I think I said Tuesday, but it's really Wednesday.

Sorry guys, there's a lot of stuff going on here. Taken Glee, we may get interrupted during the show. Just letting you guys know, okay, continuing our ghetto ways. This may be episode. I have to stop in the middle of the show because I got furniture delivered. We got new new section on the item and all this stuff and that's in the cool. That's cool. Yes. But they don't take the old one, which I didn't realize.

They didn't tell us. So I had to like call 1-800-Junk, just get them to come and pick up the old and see how much they got charges. But I got to conduct all this business during the middle of the show possibly if they show up. So, you know, I may have to get a phone call a step away. And then I just want to let everybody know if you're a brup jump in the pie cast later. That's what it is. That's what's happening. And if you don't hear a brup jump, that just means I did great editing or they didn't come. And if you're alive, then I'll play some extra music for you guys.

Yeah, I got extra party. And while I negotiate this business, but keeping it a long line of blackness, just I have to let you guys know.

Let's all know up for it. Maybe one of those episodes. Right, right. One of the ghetto episodes. Why do y'all listen?
