What’s good yo? This week we cryin’[br]havoc with Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.

0:00:20.360,0:00:24.780
In the 1st century BC, Julius[br]Caesar and his army just cruised back to Rome

0:00:24.789,0:00:29.230
after bitch-slappin his rival Pompey. And[br]now he and his entourage ragin through the

0:00:29.230,0:00:34.539
streets to celebrate. It’s all poppin bottles[br]and smokin kush til some Soothsayer calls

0:00:34.539,0:00:39.319
our boy out and say “You best Beware the[br]Ides of March, yo” but Caesar just shakes

0:00:39.319,0:00:42.139
that hater off and rolls another fatty.

0:00:42.139,0:00:46.600
Later some busta named Cassius[br]conversatin with Brutus, Caesar’s main brutha

0:00:46.600,0:00:51.229
from another motha. And Cassius be all like[br]“Caesar gonna become king and he ain’t

0:00:51.229,0:00:56.510
even all dat. Dat fool’s got to go. You[br]feel me?” Brutus dig, but he ain’t happy

0:00:56.510,0:01:00.600
bout it. Caesar’s his boy, but he don’t[br]want no tyrants messin with the Roman peeps.

0:01:00.600,0:01:04.790
So he crew up with the cause and the sh**[br]goes DOWN March 15th.

0:01:04.790,0:01:08.859
That day, Caesar bout to leave the[br]crib when his biddy Calpurnia say “baby

0:01:08.859,0:01:13.570
don’t go. I seen some sh** and just KNOW[br]something whack gonna happen.” He like “oh

0:01:13.570,0:01:18.299
sh** word?” But when one of Cassisius’s[br]thugz roll up, he convinces Caesar his bitch

0:01:18.299,0:01:23.020
be trippin, and then say “if you whipped[br]like dat, you can stay home instead of lettin’

0:01:23.020,0:01:27.619
us crown you King. Caesar be like “Hold[br]up brotha. Don’t be like dat. Let’s do

0:01:27.619,0:01:27.950
this.”

0:01:27.950,0:01:32.060
As soon as they reach the spot, all[br]dem traitors whip out their blades and SHANK

0:01:32.060,0:01:37.859
his ass. When Caesar sees his bro Brutus join[br]in, he say “ Aw sh** you too man?” Then

0:01:37.859,0:01:39.609
BAM dat fool dead.

0:01:39.609,0:01:43.630
At Caesar’s funeral, Brutus try[br]sweet-talkin the Romans by tellin em that

0:01:43.630,0:01:48.979
killin Caesar was a FAVOR to Rome. And at[br]first, erryone believe him. But Caesar’s

0:01:48.979,0:01:53.509
boy Antony ain’t havin none of dat. He rocks[br]the mic and makes all of Caesar’s killers

0:01:53.509,0:01:58.759
look like real assholes. Next thing you know,[br]the Roman people be burning down houses and

0:01:58.759,0:02:01.710
kick Brutus and Cassius to the curb.

0:02:01.710,0:02:05.729
So Antony, Octavius Caesar, and some rich[br]playboy Lepidus start

0:02:05.729,0:02:09.720
raisin a swoel army to stomp dem backstabbin’[br]snitches.

0:02:09.720,0:02:11.100
snitches get stiches

0:02:11.100,0:02:14.980
sh** goes HAM at the battle of[br]Philippi, where brothas screamin “187”

0:02:14.989,0:02:20.019
on the reg. Then Cassius thinks he see one[br]of his homeboys Titinius get captured, gets

0:02:20.019,0:02:25.849
all torn-up and kills himself. But turns out[br]ol Titty just fine, but can’t handle Cassius

0:02:25.849,0:02:29.440
bein dead, so he decide to take dat long dirt[br]nap too.

0:02:29.440,0:02:33.140
When Brutus’s army gets straight[br]WRECKED, he decide he gonna stack one more

0:02:33.140,0:02:39.140
body- his own. Then Antony roll up to Brutus’s[br]body and pours one out for our boy sayin he

0:02:39.140,0:02:44.010
was the most legit Roman of them all, cuz[br]unlike the rest of dem backstabbin rats, Brutus

0:02:44.010,0:02:46.610
was actin for the good of the hood.

0:02:49.920,0:02:53.040
Now if yo bitch-ass thinkin’ you[br]readin’ straight history up in here, you

0:02:53.049,0:02:58.540
best check yo-self. Cuz da bard wasn’t trippin[br]bout historical accuracy, B. Matter of fact,

0:02:58.540,0:03:01.250
some of the details he pulled right out of[br]his ass-

0:03:01.250,0:03:05.250
For example, in the play ol JC[br]can’t hear sh** out of one ear. And even

0:03:05.250,0:03:09.730
though dat ain’t the way it was, Willy Shakes[br]slangin dat detail to symbolize that although

0:03:09.730,0:03:14.540
he can hear all the righteous things people[br]say bout him, fool is COMPLETELY DEAF to all

0:03:14.540,0:03:16.680
the warnings that his boys bout to cross him.

0:03:25.790,0:03:29.430
And that’s part of what makes dis[br]play a tragedy: Caesar’s head is so damn

0:03:29.430,0:03:33.840
big that he thinkin he should rock the crown[br]even though it ain’t rightfully his. Caesar

0:03:33.840,0:03:39.590
think he so hard dat ain’t nobody can touch[br]him- so he don’t listen to nobody: his wife,

0:03:39.590,0:03:43.379
da soothsayer- and dat’s why his arrogant[br]ass ends up in dirt.

0:03:43.379,0:03:46.799
Cuz like Cicero say, people only[br]hear what they wanna hear-

0:03:54.820,0:03:58.500
And speakin of hearin’, listen up,[br]son. Even though the play is called Julius

0:03:58.500,0:04:05.500
Caesar, fool gets iced just half way through.[br]Some scholas think that this play is really about Brutus and he the real tragic hero

0:04:06.230,0:04:10.049
Ain’t no doubt that he wanted to put his[br]boy Caesar six feet deep.

0:04:10.049,0:04:14.060
But unlike Cassius, who just a[br]jealous playa-hater, Brutus was tryin to create

0:04:14.060,0:04:19.329
a free Rome with no Tyrants. So as much as[br]it hurt Brutus to backstab his realest homie,

0:04:19.329,0:04:23.730
that wasn’t his tragic flaw. His biggest[br]mistake. Naw blood. It was rollin w the wrong

0:04:23.730,0:04:24.230
crew.
