I remember the hot mic moment and I remember Jesse in tears after Obama won. My thoughts were always that it was in part some ego that older nikkas have when a young nikka gets something they thought they should have gotten. It was probably more layers to it but I think that and ego was a huge part of it, but it was something that a little conversation and acknowledgement could have solved.

Why does it have to be a versus?

Why can’t they each have their value?

It was, Jesse was always about attention. He was like Umar before Umar.

This goes back to when MLK was assassinated and he did a interview a day later still wearing the blood soaked tshirt.

Jesse has been eating good off his friendship with Bush Jr
Their families are really close for some reason
