SLEEPING BEAUTY (EMTEE) DISGRACEFULLY LEANS INTO A DEEP SLEEP WHILE PERFORMING ON STAGE

What this episode is about

The content discusses the troubling behaviors of an artist, Emtee, as he performs while under the influence of substances like lean, leading to detrimental effects on his health and career. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, recognizing personal decline, and the necessity for change not just for the sake of others, but primarily for oneself, while acknowledging the artist's overall talent and impact on fans.

Key takeaways

• Addiction's allure often disguises itself as creativity; the truth? It's a creative coffin.
• You can only lean on substances so long; eventually, your body insists on a wake-up call.
• Thinking you're invincible can lead to a stroke—remember, even the strongest masks have cracks.
• Choose change for yourself first; health and creativity flourish when you prioritize your own well-being.
• The blend of drugs isn’t productivity; it’s just a slow fade from artistry to oblivion.

0:00 really just is like dirty in my opinion is dirty now. He went straight back to the lean eodine now. But look at yourself and be like I this is ghetto. This is ghetto. I'm better than this. I could make more money than this. You're going to have a stroke. You're going to have a stroke. This is inevitable. This is your fate. If you carry on like this, you're not cool. It's embarrassing.

0:51 I smoked a lot of weed. It didn't negatively affect me, but it did in a sense that I I depended on that so much. I lost sight of like reality

1:03 for me to also kind of step back and do away with with all these things was like, nah, people are getting too disrespectful now. I've reached a point where I'm just like, all right, it's time, you know. Um, I've been doing this for so long, you know. uh it's time for change. And also because the human body never speaks and says, "Hey, I've had enough." You might tell yourself that, you know, nothing is happening physically. When in actual fact, something is happening, but you just don't see it in plain sight type thing.

1:40 I'm a great artist when I'm on lean because of the lean. It makes me better when you are sleeping on stage. It doesn't make you better. And when you started, you weren't on that lean and you were better. So, you have to go back to that person. Go back and pluck that person and get rid of this demon now that is on your back, this monkey on your back. Cuz there's a problem. There's a mess. We could be chilling and having a vibe session, what have you, and we play one of MT's tracks or his songs. Everybody's going to be jamming.

2:13 No one's going to say, "Turn that off." No one. Not a single person. He's that good. But Satan is going to cut you off. Don't let him. And also, don't do it for your kids. Actually, they can be part of the reason why you let go of these shenanigans. Don't do it for them cuz you won't do it. Do it for you. Actually, I think that's the biggest reason anyone would give up anything that is detrimental to their health, their wealth, and just their person. Do it for you because you still have so much to give. You still have so much to live.

3:03 You're going to be leaning into the grave. How did he die? It was died because of And you're embarrassing your family and you're embarrassing yourself. You are not unlocked. You see, my [ __ ] don't dance. We just pull up our pants and do the rock away. No, mother. Lean back. Lean back. Lean [snorts] back. The jams of way back when. Lean back empty. They didn't mean literally. Lean back and fall asleep while you are performing. And you are under the glean.

4:29 Welcome back to What the [ __ ] People hold Apparently allegedly I I'm so disappointed, guys. I really like MT. I absolutely absolutely like MT and I like his music. I thought if hip hop would ever be revived in South Africa, it would be OMT. His music is so nice or his music from way back when was so good and I know that he still has it in him. It's just that that lean monster that has its clutches in him has gotten so bad. That guy collaps and he's going to have a stroke. I don't wish that on him but it's giving that you can only take so much lean which has codine it's like

7:04 You can only take it so long and be addicted to it. You know yourselves, guys. I know. I've done the research until it confulates your brain cuz those kind of medications are not supposed to be taken long term. Now, when you're mixing syrup, which has codine, and not all of them do, and then you mix it with isite or whatever cool drink that they mix it with for a prolonged period of time. If you read the packages of any medication, it says don't take it for longer than 10 days or so on and so forth. And if your symptoms or whatever still persists, go to the doctor.

7:51 Those are the warnings of over-the-counter medication. And we abuse them. We all do. We all do here and there. But some of us are just smarter not to go too far. But when it is accessible like that over the counter, you're going to have a problem. And the thing is about these medications with codine when you take them and you are taking them for their intended use. You're going to feel drowsy and then your body's going to start fighting whatever it's fighting when you're sleeping which I think is a great thing that is happening and what what but now when you are taking them and then the drowsiness comes about and you fight the drowsiness you're starting to get high you're going to have a problem. That's where the co-ependency of that medication comes in. Because once you start to fight the drowsiness and you don't sleep and go rest and let the medication do its thing and let your body fight whatever it's fighting,

9:00 you're going to like that feeling, that loopiness. That's how you get addicted. And I understand people like MT creatives and artists. I I understand where that kind of addiction can come from and wanting to have more. What happens is in their natural state they become a bit manicky, supercharged and the only way to bring themselves down without taking street drugs or so on or going on to like psych medication that is very strong and dangerous. They take over the counter medication. It actually slows their brains down just a bit.

9:50 Trust me, I know, right? Empty. I don't even want to fuckerize you, but I want to fuckerize you. There was a time when he was on some podcast and he said he was done with all of that nonsense. the marijuana now mixing marijuana and that it's worse cuz you are taking a depressant something that is going to make you drowsy and tired and then you are taking weed which also makes you drowsy and tired. System shuts down and then you don't go to sleep when you start to feel the tiredness. You let it kick in high and it's a different kind of high. It's a different kind of high from just weed. It's a different kind of high from just alcohol. It's a different kind of high from ice skating. It's different. And you think to yourself, good to know it's normal because it's over the counter medication. But you're doing it in excess and for a prolonged period of time. We are crashing out just like we are.

10:58 I feel bad for him because I like MT and I like his music and I know that he has it in him. He's actually really an interesting character, a great artist and his stuff is nice, but what he's doing to himself is not nice. It kind of makes you wonder what happened. Why is it what I'm saying? he's trying to normalize himself or is there something deeper? Cuz you think that these artists have it all figured out. They've got the performances, the gigs, whatever. Therefore, they've got the money. So, what's going on? Because if I'm watching you perform and you're sleeping on stage like he just recently did and it's not the first time, right? Are you really having fun?

11:47 Are you even enjoying your own craft? You're not. You can even hear him when he's not too high. When he speaks about his little stories and what have you, when he still he's not coherent, per se, but he's still there. He's still in there. He's still there. Unlike this recent performance, he's a funny guy and that's why his music is so nice. He's got that thing, but he's really just he's like dirty in my opinion. He's dirty now. Even if maybe some of you ladies out there thought, oh, you know, if you're into that kind of thing, he's not even that anymore. He's giving now.

12:45 I don't know what it would take for OMT to get his ish together, but I hope he does. I think he still has so much to offer, you know, and I will never [ __ ] on a person that is on iso or any other addiction. I feel like the it comes from somewhere. That's self-medicating because there's no way you can say I'm a great artist when I'm on lean because of the lean. It makes me better when you are sleeping on stage. It doesn't make you better. And when you started you weren't on that lean and you were better. So you have to go back to that person. Go back and pluck that person and get rid of this demon now that is on your back. this monkey on your back cuz there's a problem. There's a miss.

13:34 And in other interviews that I watched, he speaks about his children. Like I he his children know who he really is. He wants to do better for his kids. He stopped all the shenanigans because of these kids. It's like go back to that. Tap into that. I'm telling you that that's the one thing that will actually pull you out of addiction. apparently allegedly if you are but what I was witnessing it's getting lean look what happened to Lil Wayne how he plumped up just look at what happened to him in the beginning maybe that lean does help to make you right and slow or whatever but when you take it for too long you're going to crash out like you're crashing out people have paid to come and watch you perform Oh, people have faith in you because you did say that you quit all this stuff and now you're back on it. So quick, quick, quick. It seems like after he did the oneman show, he got the money cuz then it seemed like

14:39 you were strapped for cash and people were saying these things about him, right? You got the money and then you went straight back to the lean eodine. Now look at yourself and be like, I this is ghetto. This is I'm better than this. I could make more money than this. You're going to have a stroke. You're going to have a stroke. This is inevitable. This is your fate. If you carry on like this, you're not cool. It's embarrassing. And that people are paying to watch you still because your music is so old. I don't know if MT has any new music out, but his music is so old. Guys, I can play you a track right now. It will still be good. We'll all be jamming. We could be chilling and having a vibe session, what have you. And we play one of MT's tracks or his songs. Everybody's going to be jamming. No one's going to say, "Turn that off." No one. Not a single person. He's that good.

15:45 But Satan is going to cut you off. Don't let him. And also, don't do it for your kids, actually. They can be part of the reason why you let go of these shenanigans. Don't do it for them cuz you won't do it. Do it for you. Actually, I think that's the biggest reason anyone would give up anything that is detrimental to their health, their wealth, and just their person. do it for you because you still have so much to give. You still have so much to live. You're going to be leaning into the grave. How did he die? It was lean died because of something that was manufactured in a factory and you were human being a great specimen that was created in your mother's womb. It's embarrassing. It is for me. It's It's embarrassing to check out like that. It's embarrassing.

16:53 Something that was manufactured is going to take you out of here and away from those same kids that you were going on about. You do it for them. D. You need to love yourself more. And then there's people in the comment section saying, "No, he's not on any drugs. Come on. People are so sick." Lena actually because you guys like to do this kind of thing. Some of you you can see a person is deteriorating and then you say no it is not what you think. We know we've been in these spaces with these kind of people. We know. Stop doing that. You're not helping. You're not a good friend.

17:32 You're not a good supporter. You're not a good fan. you're bad because you would rather watch this person die than to say something about it. Something is wrong with some of you guys. I can't believe people were even saying it's not drugs. It's not codine is a drug and used in excess and over the recommended days. It's a problem. It's highly addictive. You know, you guys know somebody that is hooked on um cough syrup, adodals, allergics. You know, someone you wouldn't even tell that person, right? It's just a normal thing. It's not it's a problem that they can't face and fight themselves. And the more you say, "No, they fine. They'll be fine.

18:26 They're not going to be fine." I know who the hell put him on stage like that rather get your refunds. That other girl that was there that night was trying to hype him up like come on we got a dog trying to bring him back. He was finished. He needed a bed. He had to go and sleep. He couldn't fight the power of the codine at that point. Imagine how long he had been taking it. And it doesn't help you stay awake and pumped up for more gigs to come. Especially when you're mixing it with weed, it's not going to work. Trust me.

19:03 You have to go and sleep. You do. Leaping on stage. It's so embarrassing for such a young, talented, goodlooking young man. Like he's funny. It's embarrassing. Yo, I don't know if his very mama is his ex now or they're still maybe going through their things, but she's probably thinking, "Thank you, Jesus." If she's out of there, like this is boring. It becomes too much at some point. Like, it's too much now. It's giving vibes. They once asked him in an interview, um, do people call you una? He's like, no. Yes. That's what we see.

19:53 That's what we seeing. You You're going to take enough of that coding. You going to appear and act like maybe I don't know what they taking how they smoke it. M. Maybe it's one hit and then they in their locking stage. You can do it for a couple of hours hours and fight the sleep until you become like that. It's so embarrassing. And I hope you're going to get help because you are a great artist. That's it. Nobody can tell me otherwise. He really is great. He is so And you're embarrassing your family and you're embarrassing yourself.

20:40 You are. Get your [ __ ] together, bro. You have a chance. Get your [ __ ] together. People still believe in you defend and I won't defend you. I won't because unlike everybody else, I want you to do better. So you must hear it as it is. Get your [ __ ] together before you have a stroke cuz that's where it's going. is
