Joe Rogan Experience #1382 - RZA & Donnell Rawlings

boom okay so now that i'm the producer of the donnell rawlings pod we already
established
they established that yes we've taken off the rizza sir thank you for being
here thank you i'm
gonna give him a a beat man he's gonna be uh yo you're gonna have music i'm i'm
gonna be hip-hop
from hip-hop royalty yo first off when you said that i'm saying i got a button
down too don't just
assume it's all hip-hop use that that was insulting you know not hip-hop i
would love any genre if you
have a vision or you see or even connected to this at all whatever you feel i
gotta feel it
and i'll make it work i think your idea of driving around talking is a great
one
i like when bill burry did a podcast doing that he basically did like these
little video things doing
that but driving with donnell is a great idea or even just you don't limit it
do whatever the
fuck you want one day you want to drive drive one day you want to sit in your
living room just talk
in your living room do that the day the day was a good day for me because i
knew it's coming to do
your show and i've been ducking the question and evading it for so long when i
see you i can't even
be real with you like i want to and i was like i said man i'm doing rogan in
two hours i gotta go
do a podcast what are you writing i was just writing podcasts because i don't i
know if he's doing a
podcast or a podcast pod pod i know so i'm just i'm just kind of you know i'm
just taking notes yeah
yeah yo yo it's just gonna be like it's just gonna me i wanted joe to stop
bullying me i didn't want
him to talk because every time i see him every time i see him so he'd be like
this we have a regular
conversation then he just started doing like this right i'm like this about to
hit me right
yo yo he said he said what's up with the podcast we're gonna shoot that to the
moon
oh come on man he started doing this yeah yeah it's that high school i'm just
trying to get him
enthusiastic you're too good you're too good to not have a podcast and i said
and i'm gonna tell you
i could go in front of thousands and thousands of people i ain't tripping off
that but it was just
something about me talking to myself talking to myself i never did that 44
minutes yes yeah
do you ever talk i never did that you know what you i gotta admit you gotta
talk to yourself but i
never did it but but you know what you gotta start bro let me say i gotta say
this yo yo no the real
talk today i've been talking to joe no i've been talking to joe about this for
five months we talk about
the people but his fans were talking about it and i ain't gonna front i was a
little nervous about it
and like i was like uh uh and then when i did it today when i finished it i
felt good as
son i mean i felt like this i was like oh it's about to be on it's on see we
just had to get moving
that's all you needed you just needed a launch who started they podcast off
with joe rogan producer
and arisa producer and jamie vernon doing the difficulties jamie was mad at me
at first though
jamie went trying to help me at all joe i was trying to call i'm trying to talk
like a white
person joe i'm talking like a white person yo i didn't want to throw the child
in he wanted me to
say it then right i was trying to figure it out and uh i said okay jamie
you're absolutely right i agree with you 100 but absolutely i said what can i
do to help me and you
we're gonna make it happen and we worked it out we worked it out he didn't want
to turn my internet
on he was like he didn't want to put me online or nothing son there's a couple
of companies that
offer like a turnkey sort of situation what is the one who does eric weinstein's
podcast and
it does you gotta google that they have like a service they have a company and
they're just they
they get all the ads for you and they take a certain percent and then they set
up a studio for
you you don't have to think about you just go in and be yourself we know it's
crazy um not that i'm
jumping on donnell's bandwagon right here you can do what's wrong with that you
know i'm not used to
that but let me just say yo um nah um maybe for the last few months since we
started the hulu the
american saga uh series people been pushing me to do a podcast right um they
would love listening to
you i end up not doing one but we have one for the show of course that kind of
does you know like after
the show go off you could go and listen and hear uh you know more inside
details of the story but
still during that process it was like you need to do a podcast whereas because
just the way you think
um you just need more people with that kind of thinking you know yeah so when
he just said does
he talk to us you know he don't talk to himself but then after he was finished
talking to himself for
44 minutes he felt a weight come off him i was but there's a scripture on that
bro what is it the
scripture is in the bhagavad-gita is that the koran no no no i don't know i don't
know i know the
koran is the koran all right i just need to know so the bhagavad-gita which
means the song of god
just put g-i-t-a gita the gita right it's actually the words of krishna and he
says contemplation
with yourself which is talking with yourself will take you further than praying
okay and if a man is not contemplating right if you're not whether you're doing
it verbally like
right now we're talking out loud we all got that voice in our head yeah you had
that voice it was
like yo i said i put the condom on and not you have that voice right and you
know if you listen to it or
you don't listen to it right but the bottom line is that according to krishna
it's that contemplation
that makes us better it's that reflection of what we did what we're gonna do
and and you and you
verbalize it even out loud i mean the spoken word it's even more powerful so
you get it out
that's how i felt but i'm telling part of it was like i was not letting joe
talk to me
i was like that man he's not doing that but i'm i'm glad i did it man did not
reach him yeah yeah you
got to do a podcast son you should i think look they get mad money too say you
can make money
the most important thing is that you have a voice like you're an interesting
guy if you did a podcast
it would be interesting there's a lot of people it's good to have a bunch of
different people
doing it from all different different styles of art different if a person is
already if a person has
already been interested people for what people want to want to keep getting
different pieces of you
how can you give it to them dude they'd love to hear you just talk about life
come on man that's a
that's a that's a that's a easy that's a no-brainer you're quoting the bhagavad-gita
it's you and duncan trussell the only people who quote the bhagavad-gita that's
hilarious i love
that oh that's an amazing book man that's what oppenheimer quoted when he uh
watched the first atomic
bomb blow off said i am become death destroyer of worlds so quote right from
the bhagavad-gita yeah
that's crazy yeah that's a that is a fascinating book man there's all sorts of
allusions to like
ufos and shit talk about well well the maharata which is a longer version yeah
so the bhagavad-gita
is about 700 verses that's taken out of the maharata which is one of the
longest it's not the longest
poem but it's in the top ten how do you say is it mahabarata how do you say it
yeah you might have
that b is in there i don't know if that b is silent you know yeah that's the
one with all these
i know i don't even know where's it got a silent b yeah that's what word has a
silent b i
never even know those words existed mahabarata a silent b there's something
like that that's got
a b in there that that b makes noise right but it's uh there's v manas in that
right where there's
flying crafts there's a bunch of weird that people throughout history tried to
figure out what the
are they talking about yeah and uh you know that ancient civilization was
measuring
what they call coppers every 35 000 years you know and they were saying you
know measuring coppers
yeah no like that's that's that's like k-a-p-p-a like kappa donna oh oh i got a
tendency to i i
would want to just make a disclaimer real quick i have a tendency to pronounce
words the way i
pronounce them i have a tendency to listen to understand the words where you
pronounce it
words are everything i love my so yo yo wait a minute can i say this real quick
i forgot this but i did my show earlier right sir joe said he never spit a 16
say oh you never spit a 16. no i
didn't i'm very white eight no no man he i didn't even know what he's talking
about i had to like go
over it tell him the bars you said you spent oh what i said hip-hop him he was
asking me about sugar
hill and i said yeah i remember that and then i started singing it i don't
think i was actually
about sugar hill i think we talked about it no no no i wish i could remember
exactly did me i think you
did we went to sugar here after a period of time yeah you asked me if i knew no
no this is what i said
you ever spit 16 you was like just what you told me joe you said i don't have
time to spit 16. no i
don't have any time to rap no you said i have much better things enjoy it you
said joe enjoy
listening to it i don't have time to do it joe you said i have much better
things to do my time
to the spit 16. i don't think that's what i said i'm pretty sure that's what
you said what i said was
i'm too busy to do one more thing and i like rap but i don't like to do it
maybe i would love it
but i'm not going to i don't have any time okay that's all it's not your thing
yeah yeah that's
all it means don't try to twist it how dare you i am the producer of your show
and you are
treating me like in a terrible manner misquoting edit it you're gonna edit it
out it's edit it's
edit this we were talking about how few white rappers ever actually make it
like the tiny percentage
in comparison the ones who try it like how many of them try it you got to think
there must be millions
and millions that have tried it right right like there's like a small handful
of guys well in all
reality it's a small handful period for pity rates anyway so so so that's true
too so if you look at the
ratio i'm a ratio guy so as we talk you'll see i'm always i'm always pulling
some numbers into things but
if you look at the ratio let's say one million white guys tried right five made
it
let's say 50 million blacks tried he's not me so so it's usually the ratio
right many more doing i
see what you're saying yeah makes sense but hip-hop let me just say something
about hip-hop because i
could say that right it's dead no i thought you made me nervous i was just
checking i was like you
killed it i don't care takashi tried to kill it but go ahead no the beautiful
thing is that hip-hop is
it's really okay i'm sorry no no it's all good i'm you know that's what i like
i like this this this
energy here but hip-hop is a pure american uh creation culture yeah it's like
it's like it's you know
people try to trace it nah man trace it right here yeah and when it was formed
right it's definitely
you know you know a lot of young black men you know you go back to uh cool hulk
and grandmaster flash
and and meldy mel and um spoonie g you know you can go back to the classes you
know grandmaster kaz
right but just within grandmaster kaz crew the cold crust brother you got charlie
chase right so you got the
spanish brothers there but then our first hip-hop songs that we love you know l
cool j rock the bells
oh guess who produced that rick rubin you got the white brother oh yeah we was
talking about that
so so the so the youth culture of america at that time right even with fab five
freddy going down
you know town to the cbgb crowd and all that and blondie and all these all
these things was melding from
our culture now whereas of course uh it's it's a dominantly a black expression
right it's you know
we could say we dominated the culture but it took angles from every other part
of new york
