00:00This is interesting, you know as we're talking about very serious matters around the world
00:04There is something that I think we can say certainly relatively is much more trivial and yet yet
00:10Ray J thinks it would have changed the sex tape would have changed the world the world that world that is Ray J's take on
00:17his
00:18Famous sex tape with Kim Kardashian. He was on Club Shea Shea with Shannon sharp
00:23and I thought this is a
00:26Great question that Shannon asked he was speaking about the Kardashian family and how the tape affected their
00:34Success Ray J made it global rate. They took it to a whole different level
00:39How different?
00:41Are their lives?
00:43minus this tape
00:47That's a crazy question man, I think more of the question is how different would we all be
00:53How different with this whole thing be how different with the industry be how different with the wheel roll
01:01Everything would be different. We would all be different probably more people to be going to college and you know
01:07I'm saying getting an education and be successful
01:09There might not be any only fans and all the things like that other opportunities like that
01:14So, I mean, are we a part of the cure? Are we a part of the disease?
01:17I don't know. All I know is I'm just trying to make it right. Ah
01:23I will say there are elements of it that I agree with but we'll get it
01:26Look, he is correct about the the only fans thing like without the sex tape definitely like spurred like make your own
01:33Triple X content at home type of thing and that's certainly more popular now than ever
01:37so he's definitely right on that in terms of like all the other stuff like oh like would more kids be in college today if
01:43It wasn't for us and the larger
01:45Implications honestly, who knows I think he's just trolling and joking around but what he sort of is also hinting at here
01:50Which is interesting is where would the world be today without Kim Kardashian? That's really what is
01:56Part of this question because he's saying no Shannon wanted to know how the Kardashians themselves are different
02:01How would they be different?
02:03But well, no Shannon wanted to know would the Kardashians be the Kardashians without the sex and I actually think what I think it's a
02:09Fair question. I think what Ray J is saying overall is that
02:13When he says for instance that more people would be going to college. I don't think that's a crazy thing
02:17Oh, come on. His point is that because of the rise of the Kardashians you have now a job
02:23Social media influencer. Where do you think people got the idea to be social media influencers?
02:29That's that's what the Kardashians were. It's not influence. I know right? It's not this and that's because
02:35Because the sex tape is what led to the car. Okay. Well, then again that pop fair
02:38So it but it but but it goes to the heart of would the Kardashians be where they are or be anything public?
02:45Without that sex tape and I think that he's Eric West right and he's and Ray J
02:49I think he's basically saying he just he just took it all over the world
02:52In a way in a way he he tipped his hat to the Kardashians, right?
02:55He's saying that all of these things changed and I don't I don't agree with all of them
03:00But said and I'm part of it and I'm half of it. Yes. He's definitely part of it
03:04Unfortunately, we don't have the butterfly effect available for us
03:07We can go back and change things and see how it affects the future
03:10But I think Ray J is mostly on to something that the Kardashians would not be who they are without that sex tape
03:15Maybe we wouldn't be who we are without that sex. You'd be wearing different clothing right now
03:20Completely different outfit. I'd be like this hoarding
03:23Right. Yeah, I'd be totally different completely different thing
03:27Hi, it's Connor from Boston, Massachusetts
03:29Listen, it's bold for Ray J to say he paved the path for anything let alone inspired only fans
03:35But this video did make the Kardashians famous and it did in giant inspire a generation of untalented people to
03:42Try and get famous from posting naked content on the internet, which I think both helps and harms the culture depending on how good they look
03:48Naked that's fair
03:50But here's the thing. Here's the thing when you when you were dismissing Ray J
03:54Clearly you haven't heard that song. Have you I choose I try not to listen to Ray J
04:01We're not gonna say
04:03By the way, I I think my
04:06Only fans would happen anyway, because of course it would because much like life porn finds a way and by the way
04:12Wasn't Paris Hilton's first?
04:13It was but Paris Hilton was already famous and was I understand that but I think it would have led the way to only fans
04:19Anyway, because it was a huge huge seller
