I was a gang member, drug dealer and arrested more than 10 times finally going to Corcoran Prison called gladiator school in the early 90’s. Inside prison I read the Bible 3 times and hundreds of books mostly autobiographies, and those “books” are what started the change within me as inmates mocked me for not playing basketball, handball, etc… God spoke this world into existence by words and words are the most powerful things we have to bring about change!!!

Those prisoners don't care at all about Birdman. They're bored and there to "see what it do". The man who asked about literature and books was just calling out the BS flex they were all watching. Birdman was there to make a marketing video to satisfy his fans and financial backers.
Our culture has rejected the fact that education is highly correlated with income since the 70s. But don't worry yung blood, you'll be an NBA player or rapper.
What warden had the bright idea of bringing in a guy that would only reaffirm and encourage the same mindset that got the men locked up in the first place?
Whitlock I disagree with much of what you say but on this you’re spot on. I did 3 terms in prison and this is some of the dumbest blank I’ve ever heard in my life. I lived it it’s not cool at all to be ignorant. My record can be verified and if you ever want someone on to discuss this topic who lived it and agrees with you feel free to reach out it would be be a pleasure free of charge Bird man is a clown.
Birdman unlike most rappers has never been incarcerated. He’s completely oblivious to how important reading is to inmates. Most of them could probably teach him more than he can teach them.
Baby has never been incarcerated, in what world is that true?? Because in actual reality he definitely did time in prison, just like most of the people around him, but you’re obviously not from the city⚜️, because if you was you would know better.
Shameful. Utterly shameful. Everyone needs to stop listening to anyone with face tattoos, anyone "in the game", and anyone who's being puppeted out by the music industry. None of those types of people respect you or themselves, and the so-called Black community needs to stop lending these people ANY sort of credence and even more importantly STOP granting them access to our children!
True. It literally mirrors the government run school system. The rankings in these schools as far as reading and comprehension and math and science are mind numbing if you look at them and compare them to other countries, and NOT to mention how expensive it is per child on the taxpayer, but by all means, let's NOT do away with the department of education. It's working SOOOOOO well - and besides, too many people would lose out with the very popular teacher's union that has the Democratic Party in its left side pocket. America, 2024.
It's working just fine. THE SCHOOL 🏫🎒 TO PRISON ⛓️ PIPELINE. This is what the Powers that Be want and 🐔 Birdman is part of the plan... Why do you think they removed alot of the College and Trade School programs from Correctional Facilities. #13thAmendment They need an endless supply of Residents at Club D Block for cheap Labor.
For 1, Birdman don't have a criminal background but he's a criminal. Maybe since he never been to the pen, he was trying to get a understanding. We're making judgements off a short clip without knowing the outcome of that 1 interaction.
I don't doubt or argue against your opinion about Birdman, but I just feel the video clip of Birdman addressing the inmates was way too short to make assertions about Birdman's feelings about books. Not defending anyone though, but the clip was too short for me. Looked like what dishonest liberal media outlets do to make false assertions against their enemies
That's a lie some people change there life get GED and go to college traded school some of them will never change look at some of these guys on social media that have been to prison have changed there life because of read books and get a education
I'm waiting for Whitlock to retract his statement about Reese. You were so outspoken saying how overrated she is, but when she beats Clark's team straight up and carries the team on her back, not a peep. Eight double doubles in a row and counting. When Chennedy Carter got aggressively knocked down for the Sky, the players didn't overreact like everyone does for Clark. They realize that it's basketball and messages are constantly being sent. But since it was two black players involved, it isn't mentioned because it doesn't fit the narrative. How ironic your segment talks about media plants....LOLOLOL
LMFAO!! This is the funniest story ever. See, 2pac actually read a lot and would say which books he was reading. He would have gotten those prisoners some books.
😅😅😅 Young grasshopper building something and being crowned a gatekeeper by the zionist coin counting regime can both be true at the same time. Infact that's how it works.
It doesn’t matter because the people who actually listen to Birdman and look at him as inspiration can’t read anyway and are lost. So they’ll continue to be in prison
But what was the rest of what Birdman said? He says "no disrespect to reading books..." then the video cuts off. Presumably, Birdman offers some kind of additional perspective. I genuinely want to know what he says in response. The editing of this video seems disingenuous, like it was done by someone who has another agenda. While reading is great for mentally escaping the confines or prison for a while, what impact does it truly have on recidivism? My hunch is that there are there better levers to push, i.e. certain kinds of jobs/vocational training. Maybe that's what Birdman was going to drive at before the video "strangely" gets cut off.
I 100% agree with everything you said. The video purposely cut Birdman off in the middle of his thoughts. Possibly Birdman was going to offer legal training, drug rehab, or something else. This was extremely disingenuous.
What you read might inspire these young men to become writers. Reading is a vast expanse of opportunities. They could read and understand the functions of a car to become a mechanic. The written word has the power to project people forward. But when many seek to downgrade the expansion of the mind no amount of training is going to fix their issues.
so as it was told to me in a response to my critical comment on Jason's short apparently Birdman was telling them "books won't help you as well as my physical resources will" in the context of helping them all get out of jail. if true yeah Jason kinda got ahead of himself. He should consider retracting it for sure (if indeed that was the context).
But didn’t Birdman try to rephrase & but context on his statement before they cut the video? Come on Whitlock, don’t be disingenuous and that gullible for clout & views…play the whole clip ..🤷🏽♂️
Dont know were being sexually fluid remark comes from. I dont agree at all with his ignorant statement but to deny his hustle and work ethic is just ignorance
Jason I have to disagree with you saying he’s an industry plant, birdman has built an empire from scratch and he’s made hundreds of millions changes peoples lives for the better.
They should’ve been reading books earlier like in middle and high school. You done messed up your life now. Now focus on how to be a productive person if you make it back out. It takes you go to jail then ppl wanna find Jesus and pray to allah. Them books ain’t gonna help you now
Birdman is what we call a Hood Hero! Why? Because he’s not the example of the average American man making a positive come up ⬆️ from poverty. He is one in a billion. A drug dealer turned rapper turned CEO of a music label that was blessed with Lil Wayne, Drake, Juve, Nikki, BG and Turk… Also, Manny Fresh and the group he founded the Hot Boyz. He is not the norm most of us will have to work hard 😓 to be able to provide for our families.
It’s sad. If you don’t win the genetics lottery then sell drugs to make it to the top, destroying and killing just to get to the top to keep those around you down is just unfathomable to me. To keep someone in ignorance is just as sinful to me as killing, stealing, and destroying someone else. 😔

This is whats wrong with the Black ( young and old ) community, they rather listen to Birdman , than a scholar like Thomas Sowell

He def fucks men. He's confirmed that on stage. It's out there. No edit
I was in jail for a while and all I did was read it got me out of the awfulness. Birdman is wrong.
You are absolutely right about birdman
