Charlamagne tha God

Like that was... mind-blowing to me. And I was like, oh, okay, God, I see exactly what you're doing. Kendrick Lamar, you listen to his album, Mr. Morale and the Big Stepper. He's talking about, yo, his wife is on this thing. Yo, you really need to go seek some therapy. He's got this song on there called Father Time, where he talks about his issues with his dad. Men don't talk about that.

You know, it's always when it comes to daddy issues, you think women. But no, the daddy issues that you have as a man are real, too. So it's like I knew we were beyond ready for these conversations because these conversations were already happening in our community. They were just being done in secret. When I put out that book, Shook One, it came out in 2018.

And I remember it was the week of Thanksgiving, 2018. I'm home in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and my dad calls me. And my dad is like, yo, man, I just finished reading your book, Shook One. And he goes, you know, your cousin just committed suicide. My cousin's 25 years old, young man, tried to complete suicide four times. And he was like, he used to do a lot of odd jobs with my father.

And my father was like, yeah, man, between that and your book, I just wanted to tell you, man, you know, I was going to therapy two and three times a week and I tried to commit suicide 30 plus years ago. And, you know, I was on 10 to 12 different medications for my mental health. And I'm like, I never knew any of this.

And so I remember asking my mom, like, mom, did you know dad was dealing with all of this? And my mom was like, I thought he was just playing crazy to get a check. Right. But he really was dealing with his own issues. And he never told me this. But imagine if he would have told me this when I was young. I would have knew what those panic attacks were.

I would have knew what those bouts of depression were. But he never, ever told me any of those things. So I think our community has always been ready for these conversations. Hip hop community, the black community, it just takes somebody to have the courage to speak them.

Conversations with other people. I always credit folks like Neil Brennan, my young guy, Pete Davidson, who's been going to therapy for a long time. Women in my life like Debbie Brown, who was just an amazing spiritual leader, has been a longtime friend of mine for almost 20 years. These were people who I always heard having these conversations. And when I was Thank you. Thank you.
