Joe Budden Podcast, episode 118.
I am your host, Joe Budden.
Across from me is Rory.
To his left is Maul.
Unfortunately, we are on a time crunch today because I'm making moves out there. I'm getting out of here.
Getting out of here on you niggas. I'm taking jobs. Corporate Joe.
You are corporate Joe.
I'm aligning myself with these corporate companies. I don't care. I don't care what y'all say.
Wearing white button-ups to the top.
Yeah. You know, I'm thinking those things are meant to be
worn to the top or i just don't feel cool with it unbuttoned anymore it depends the shirt i just
feel better that was a nicer shirt than it looked i was a little mad about i gotta send it back to
and i saw you were wearing sins jeans oh yeah i got a lot of compliments on my jeans and i will
tell you guys before you make jokes i I do plan on buying one more pair
of those jeans.
Listen, man.
Those ball make.
Just wear them
at red carpets.
All right, listen.
Don't wear them like
in the backyard.
Let me tell you how phony I am.
Tell me why
those jeans are bad
in hip hop again.
Remind me.
Maul, now hold up.
Before I do this,
and this is totally off track
of what I wanted to talk about,
Rory, but whatever.
Maul was one of the first Guys that
Of my friends
That was on the tight
Sweatpants wave
And boy I killed you
For a long time
Yeah you did
Maul is more stylish than me
Everybody's more stylish than me
But what's wrong with these jeans?
The ones you had on?
Yeah the tight ones
The like spandexy ones
And they are made
With some spandex
Everything you just said
Is just wrong
They were like jeggings
They weren't
They weren't even tight jeans
They were
They were something
But I wasn't mad at the jeans
They're really comfortable
Number one
And number two
You can really move in them
That was what I was checking for
If I couldn't be mobile
In them
On a red carpet
I didn't want to wear them
And they look pretty good
Which was foreshadowing
For events
Not foreshadowing I've been telling foreshadowing. I've been telling
complex and academics
for about a month and a half
that at the BET Awards, that's
where everybody tries to get tough.
Really, any awards, that's not the
Grammys. That's where everybody's a
tough guy. What do y'all think about
Safari?
I don't want to call that a jump because I was born
before 1990.
Well, I was born in 1990 and I don't think it was a jump the word jump is alarming if you were born at a certain time
once uh once safari's man hopped in it was a fair fight it was two on two
somebody told me that they didn't think safari was able to see his man i don't think down there
fighting oh you're rolling with that too no no i'm sayingari was able to see his man i don't think down there fighting oh you're
rolling with that too no no i'm saying right at the beginning when his man first hopped in i'm
never leaving my man ever i'm never ever under any circumstance leaving my man i don't care that's me
not leaving my man you're not fighting by yourself while i'm down the block making sure my jewelry is
on no was that his man's though was that ever confirmed or was it just a good Samaritan because he was by himself
He walked out. He was by himself good Samaritan. What's the merit? What's the merit? Is that good?
You know what though that nigga didn't look small
Yeah, and safaris not small
But then again homeboy that said it on Safari Is not small either These was a bunch of
Big niggas fighting
Yeah but I mean
It's
I don't know man
That whole situation
Is just corny to me
Fighting
No not fighting
Fighting isn't corny
I mean what you fighting for
Is corny
But I mean if that
You know
In talking to people
I don't know if that was
Actually sent from Meek
Like if he green lighted that Or not But if he did I don't know if that was actually sent from Meek. Like, if he green-lighted that or not.
But if he did, I think that's corny.
And I fuck with Meek heavy, but I don't think that was corny.
Only because Safaree been asking for the one-on-one for so long.
But what was the last time you saw a fair fight?
Maul.
Or a one-on-one.
No, it's cool.
If you're not going to give a nigga the one-on-one, cool.
Yeah, but don't jump a nigga.
Like, don't send niggas to...
So what should you do?
Nigga, leave it alone. If you don't want the one-on-one, why are you don't send niggas to... So what should you do? Nigga, leave it alone.
If you don't want the one-on-one,
why are you going to send niggas to jump somebody?
Nah, I'm all...
That's not really the case.
So you cool with a nigga just sending niggas to jump somebody
if he been asking you for the one-on-one?
I don't want to say that this has anything to do with Meek
because Meek's on probation or parole.
Yeah, like, I don't believe it.
So I'm going to speak hypothetically here.
If I'm Meek, and if I'm gonna speak Hypothetically here If I'm meek
And if I'm on probation
Or parole
And if the parole officer
Is a hard ass
Like the rumors were saying
Nah
It's shown that way
Through his case
Then
And I have a beef with somebody
And I'm high profile enough
To have
My uh My hometown goons with me,
and a nigga's been talking shit online for the past two years saying it's going to be violence when he sees me.
What should happen, Mo?
You from the Bronx or uptown?
I don't really know where you're from.
I don't know much about you.
Nothing should happen.
I would leave it alone
at BET weekend
in LA
when there's a million
cameras around
and everyone's watching
nothing should happen
if you saying all of that
nothing should happen
how old are you?
I'm 35
alright
should nothing happen
if you're 25
nothing should happen
period
with what you just said
being paperwork
you're on probation
all of this other shit
like if your niggas is with you yo no they said somehow some way it comes back there was a
rumor that they allegedly said it on quentin miller right they said it on beans clearly that's
not what they rolling with they're not rolling under that that model that you're talking about
they're setting it on niggas.
That's what's happening.
The chasers are chasing niggas, yeah.
So if I'm Safari, why the fuck am I standing around outside talking to DJ Self?
Why is Safari-
What do you mean?
It's BET week and everybody's standing outside somewhere.
Mo, what's up with you, man?
What do you mean?
He was on his way to an event.
It was outside of an event.
Cars was pulling up. That was where the cars- That was his way to an event. It was outside of an event. Cause was pulling up.
That was where the cause,
that was the drop off point where he was.
Maul,
if he has been threatening meek for,
for two years,
a year,
however long it's been is what I'm saying.
And now it's BET weekend and you know,
these niggas are here and you are too deep.
Why are you stationary anywhere?
Well, it looked like, like I said, it was the drop-off point or the pickup point
for whatever event they was at.
Why is he at an event?
So he can't be at an event?
Too deep?
I mean, yeah.
Come on, Maul.
Why not?
Come on, Maul.
Come on, Maul.
I don't know why you're acting sophisticated today.
What you mean?
Come on, Maul.
Why you can't be at an event too deep?
That's not how to move, Maul.
That's not how to move, Maul. That's not how to move, Maul.
If that's how he wants to move,
I'm saying I wouldn't move like that.
That is not how he should be moving
is what we are saying.
But you're saying why?
I'm agreeing with you.
I don't condone violence.
I'm not with none of that.
I'm with none of that.
I don't agree how either side's moved
in that situation.
If it had something to do with Meek.
I don't agree with either side.
Meek went in the club to take fucking pictures and with meek i don't agree with either meek went
in the club to take fucking pictures and chill yeah don't ask don't act like a celebrity rapper
or anyone has not been arrested or got sued or in trouble for something that their security did
or their mans in them i would be afraid of that so i would be afraid of safari uh telling the
police well he said it on camera he said meek's just jump me Which is like Telling the police by the way
Because the police
Are on Instagram
That goes back to what I'm saying
With all this new
This new age shit man
It's like
Niggas that happens
That's why I'm saying
You can't do that
In BET weekend
No matter what
But my thing is
If that happens
Why are you getting
Right on social media with it
And the way that camera
Was stationed
It looked to
He caught Safari
At the perfect time
Then panned over to Meeks Then panned right over To the jump It looked like That camera was stationed, it looked too, he caught Safari at the perfect time, then panned over to Meek, then panned right over to the jump.
It looked like that camera was set there, which is also a little weird.
There was a report that there was an incident with A$AP Rocky at the awards.
Yeah, I heard one tweet maybe.
But details didn't come out about that.
And A$AP looked amazing at the awards.
So how badly could he
have been attacked
or whatever the word was there.
Who's beefing with ASAP?
He don't bother nobody.
I don't know that.
There's violent clips
of ASAP walking around.
Oh no, I know that.
I'm just saying
Rocky in particular.
And then it was me.
And then it was me.
No, it was Chris Brown too.
Well, it was me first. Yeah. And then it was Chris Brown. And it was me. No, it was Chris Brown, too. Well, it was me first.
Yeah.
And then it was Chris Brown.
And Chris had to defend the light skins.
You know what, Maul?
Fucking the Meek Safari shit.
Remember when we was in the club and I was trying to fight J.R. Smith?
And then you stopped me, but I was saying it was about principle.
And then you were saying, but it's going to look like it's over a girl.
That is the same exact thing with Meek and fucking
Meek
and homeboy Safari
and
Chris Brown
and
well no
that's just about a girl
I was about to say
I don't know what principle
you're talking about
with that one
that's 100%
that's just about a girl
Chris
I mean
but Chris was chilling
I don't even know
nothing about that
I don't have too much
no but that's why
I'm glad that video came out with Chris just leaning on the floor.
Chris was chillin', taking pictures with fans.
But he doing what he was supposed to do.
Like, I'm not, listen, man.
I'm not about to sit here and act.
But why was anybody rowdy then?
It was the entourages.
Do that shit, man.
It's always the entourages, man.
Which, like I said, they're responsible for their entourage.
You got to know who to move with.
Because a lot of people will smack somebody for you just to show you that they're rolling for their entourage You gotta know who to move with Cause a lot of people Will smack somebody for you
Just to show you
That they're rolling for you
Which ends up being dumb
And worse for you
In that situation
Like you gotta roll with smart goons
Not ones that you know
Will just pop off
Right
Cause when you just
Oh oh that's the person
That was talking shit on Twitter
Let me smack him
To show this dude
That I can roll with him
And now you gotta
It's stupid
It's normally the entourage
But why
Yo it's only with us, though, man.
It's only in our, like, you know what I mean?
Like, this doesn't happen, like you said, at other award shows.
It's only us, man.
It's only with hip-hop.
No.
Hip-hop?
No.
These R&B motherfuckers be beefing, too.
But they don't get staticky like that, though.
Yeah, but hip-hop typically comes from an environment where that happens.
That's some real R&B niggas. No, I hip hop typically comes from an environment where that happens.
I'm talking about
more like in the pop world
when I'm thinking about
niggas wilding at awards
and shit like Taylor Swift
and Katy Perry.
It's only,
it's like we got so much,
we just got so much
animosity in hip hop.
Like niggas is extra sensitive.
Yo, did this nigga
go and get baptized
while I was going to something?
Why the fuck is this nigga
so holy today?
What are you talking about?
No, it's real shit.
We just extra sensitive in hip hop now
You can't say nothing to nobody
Niggas is mad
Like what era
Did niggas grow up in
Like I grew up in an era
We go outside
Niggas is snapping
On each other
Talking shit
That's part of it
Like if you got sensitive
When niggas is on the block
Snapping
And you got like real mad
You was a clown forever
Niggas like
Oh yeah see a clown
That's true
You know what I'm saying
So I come from that
My shit was popping off
At the Source Awards
it may have been
over a different
it was like
over serious shit though
that was over serious shit
from the Source Awards
I take full responsibility
for how weird
my generation is
but at the same time
I'd like to say
we don't know how
a lot of the 90s rappers
would have acted
if they had social media
no I always say that
I always say that
like if Pac had
Instagram or Twitter, Big had...
A lot of people wouldn't have came off so cool if they had social media.
I get that.
But I'm talking about more so, like, it's just when you try to talk to some of these,
like, new era rappers now, like, and you say something slightly, like, that they might
take the wrong way.
And it's, like, it's extra, like, they want it to be beef. And it's like, it's extra like, they want it to be beef.
And it's like, fam, nobody even came at you.
Like, what is all the sensitive shit about?
It's ego, because everyone retweets it
and everyone has a comment about it.
I can't get used to that, man.
I'm sorry.
That shit is crazy to me.
It is trash.
But the time you talk about
where you can go outside and crack on your friends
and niggas not get sensitive,
that was a very long time ago.
This is a very new and different generation.
I get that, man.
There's still circles.
I have a question.
I have a question sort of in this topic,
and I was forced to think about this over the weekend.
Where do or did all the newer generation kids learn how to fight?
On Worldstar.
Looking at Worldstar clips.
I know that sounds like a silly question
But if you're glued to your monitor
Or your phone
Or your computer
And you're not really going outside very much
Then where are you learning how to fight?
On Worldstar
Looking at Worldstar
Older brothers in your house?
I don't know
I think I can take
Two and a half of Migos by myself
Yeah? But I'm a little arrogant two and a half of Migos by myself.
Yeah.
But I'm a little arrogant.
I'm not familiar with them. This is also the gun era, by the way.
Everyone got a Draco.
They don't want to fight.
So that's what everybody's telling me about Migos.
Apparently, everybody views Migos as very tough guys.
I must not be that familiar with their music.
I still look at them like the kids.
How old are they?
Probably 25.
25.
Somewhere in that realm.
Yeah, that's kids.
You're a kid.
You're 25.
So they've inherited a yachty beef toward me.
But what is the yachty beef, though?
I'm not sure, Mo.
It's different times with me.
So if we're going to talk about it, let's talk about the whole thing.
Was there a conversation before the interview started?
Well, in the morning.
Because I'm going off academics timeline.
Academics is one of the biggest pussies I've ever seen in my entire life.
He should never comment on anything that has to do with physicality.
But we knew that already.
I don't fault him for being a pussy when you know he's a pussy
well you gotta stop talking sometimes
when you're a pussy
is what I'm saying
I've been saying that
and Charlamagne killed me
for saying that
I agree
I agree
there's nothing wrong with being a pussy
but you gotta be pussy
to the corner sometimes
just shut up
but
no I had a conversation with
with P
who manages or has some affiliation with he's part of QC But Now I had a conversation With With P Who manages
Or has some affiliation
With
He's part of QC
Which is in charge
Of Migos
And Yachty
Together
Quick question
How old is Academics?
27
27
With some arrested development
Okay
Clearly
Okay
So I
So he's
He's responsible for Migos
And Yachty I'm not sure I can't Migos and Yachty
I can't tell you what Yachty's beef is honestly
I think he dislikes the way that his likeness is spoken about on the show
Even after he's been on the show
But to me I never really ever want to talk about him ever
I don't care
I don't care about him
But my thing is
Because after Yachty did
the interview with y'all,
I kind of liked him as a person.
Me too. I didn't know much about him before. Me too.
So I don't understand where the
issue would be coming from after that interview.
But then his album came out and
the narrative was he didn't do well.
Okay. And then
academics got up there talking about how he
didn't do well. Okay.
And then they put out the guy P on Instagram,
put out the long Instagram post talking about how they made $13 million
in 16 months or whatever.
And that was confusing to me because I'm like,
if you've made this amount of money,
then why the fuck do you care about this shit?
About the sales.
Yeah, why do you care?
Why are you even paying this shit any fucking attention?
I will never get that part but i'm sure that the target uh brand manager is not
watching everyday struggle thinking maybe we should yeah but so academics did that homeboy
post that so for me that lets me know how yadi and his camp are feeling about the show and what is said on the show.
Academics want to still, he's still, like, bright-eyed.
So he still want to text Yachty and, like, be friends and, you know,
he want to do all of that.
So now that that has stopped, that's what I'm assuming Yachty's beef is.
I'm assuming.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But anyway, the morning of, I need some socks.
I go to the mall.
I see the dude, Pete.
Pete says, yo, I need y'all to lay up off a yachtie.
Okay.
I say.
He was walking hand in hand in the Beverly Center?
No, we were in, what was that store I got those socks from?
Overpriced dress socks, by the way.
But anyway, no, it was a store.
So he said, lay up off a yachtie.
You know my memory's bad. So I say, do I know you?
He says, yeah, you know me.
I need y'all to lay up off Yachty.
We have a conversation.
At the end of it, I give him my word and say, you know,
I never want to talk about Yachty.
We're agreeable here.
So, yes, great.
Kudos.
And that was the end of that.
But I had been having behind-the-scenes conversations with Complex just about interviewing Migos, period.
Why would anybody want to interview migos i've never seen a good migos interview in my entire life ever well they have a reputation of not giving great interviews but that's my fucking
point but they're still from a media i don't give a fuck i'm telling you why other people would give
a fuck oh no i know why migos oh no i know know why they're very popular they make great music you're at the BET Awards
I'm not of that ilk
you're dressed well
I'm not of that
I'm not from that
I'm sorry
but you're a media man
yeah you're a media guy now
which means what?
which means you have to
accept certain things
no the fuck
that's where you got
media man fucked up
no I do not
well what's your
what's your new
hat that you're wearing
no I do not ever have to talk to fucking Migos.
If the show requires that they want Migos on, you do.
It would behoove you to do so.
Well, I did.
And clearly it did.
I did, but only because we're at the right carpet.
That's what I just said, Joe.
That's exactly it.
It's the BET Awards.
He's not saying have it to Migos.
Well, and they wanted to talk to Migos.
Okay.
So cool. Right. Talk to fucking Migos. I don't care. I don't have any plans to it to Migos. Well, and they wanted to talk to Migos. Okay. So cool.
Right.
Talk to fucking Migos.
I don't care.
I don't have any plans to talk to Migos.
So Migos get up there and they shady from the jump.
They ain't dapping niggas.
They got attitudes.
Right.
Really?
This is what y'all wanted to fucking interview?
Mm-hmm.
They gonna come up here and give us their fucking ass kiss?
But cool.
All right.
Can I stop you right there just for a second?
That's their personalities from what I've seen.
You have done press runs, and your attitude sometimes is not the best.
Do you see where they're coming from?
I think that's where the problem is with you.
See, you don't know how to because you're an artist too, right?
So you don't, it's like that's why people feel a way towards you when you say certain things in your interviews now with artists, because they looking at you like, nigga, you are artists.
You sat in this chair and I'm in like, you know how we feel about this media shit and how the shit can come across.
People hold you to a different. It's like, come on, my nigga.
And I don't know if Migos is that way at all, but I'm saying, could you understand as someone that has done that in the past how they could feel that way?
Like I gotta sit down, I gotta answer
how I feel about the awards, whatever, whatever.
And then again, you're an artist, you know. Well first of all,
Migos is bigger than I've ever been. Of course.
So I was confused as to why
they were even doing interviews in the first place.
Well it's the BET Awards.
They're performing, everyone does a quick
little interview on the, for the most part.
There was a lot of people At the awards
That did not
That skipped the interviews
All the niggas you would think
Would skip them
Skipped them
They had a lot to do
With the awards
So I think
It was fine
I mean that's a moot point
They did the fucking interview
They wanted to do the interview
But I wasn't going to say a word to them
I gave it to Academics
Who's bright eyed
And has never been
In this environment
On this red carpet
Dealing with this type of commotion
Academics is ignoring the producers. They're
screaming to wrap it up. He's doing all types of shit.
And then in the middle of the interview...
How much wasn't on there? Obviously it was
Ellis. It was a lot of it.
How did the interview begin?
It was more than that.
It definitely looked like it was coming.
It was much more.
It was much more awkwardness.
It was much more
tension. In the middle of the interview the gentleman that I spoke to in the morning intervenes to say,
and me and Joe, he don't know what's being said in the interview.
He just jumps in.
Yeah, me and Joe had a talk this morning.
All that Yachty shit is dead.
Huh?
That wasn't.
That was a little odd to just bring up.
Nah.
I mean, well, yeah, you're right.
I did say that the Yachty shit.
I'm never saying nothing about Yachty.
But the energy is a little different now.
Now I'm putting that with the mall.
Now I'm putting that with Migos has come up.
I'm putting that with Yachty storming by, looking mad, not saying hi back to academics.
You're just putting all this shit together.
And I'm putting complex And academics
Wanting to interview
These niggas so fucking bad
That I never wanted to talk to
In the fucking first place
Now I'm sitting here
And I gotta stare at these
Fucking accessories
And fucking shiny shirts
Is that what you're telling me?
Because I've decided
To change my career course?
Suck my dick
That's what comes with it
Hell no
No, no
That ain't the way
That I do my media
I don't want to talk To nobody that don't want to sit there.
No.
But that happens, though.
No, it's not going to happen is what I'm saying.
That happened.
Past tense on a red carpet.
Future reference.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, all that complex academics being giddy-eyed,
just wanting to talk to people that's famous just for the simple fact they're famous?
No.
Nah, sorry, Maul.
No, I mean, I hear you, but I'm just saying there's certain things you have to accept as this new media guy.
How do you filter that moving forward?
Because there were people that you guys had great interviews with.
And I feel like y'all could have had a great interview out of that.
Well, we got a great interview out of it.
No, you got a great moment out of that well we got a great interview out of it no you got a great
you got a great moment out of that in in in my world oh no that's a great interview that's a
great interview that moment that time that encapsulated space that's a great interview
that was about as great as we was gonna get from these niggas who don't want to talk in the first
place yeah i can see that but i'm saying, I think a lot of artists,
they look at you because you are an artist.
So they're like, come on, though.
You know how it is.
Some days you might not be going through some real shit behind the scenes.
You don't flex it down in the first place.
Yeah, but that's not the case.
These niggas just inherited a beef from a nigga
that I don't even listen to or know anything about.
And I still don't understand what the beef is.
I think Yachty walked away from that looking really good.
Yeah, but when you don't sell maybe like you were projected to, then—
So they're trying to equate that to the interview?
No, I mean, that's just me speculating.
Oh, God, man, you can't—that would be just not smart for them to speculate that.
I'm saying, like you're saying, nothing has happened since he came up and did the interview.
Nothing happened since then, except for academics talking about the numbers.
So I have to assume that whatever his problem is, it's related to academics talking about the numbers so i have to assume that whatever
his problem is it's related to academics talking about the numbers or the numbers period i don't
care enough about it to continue to discuss it well how'd the whole shit get diffused because
obviously it cut off with the cool it didn't get diffused they they came over complexes editing
team is amazing homeboy in a little blue and white shirt that looked like he trying to get
aggressive with me is getting aggressive with our producer Lyric
I saw him elbow
He's pulling away from her like he about to do something
My hand is up saying
They saying yo what's good
What's really good what's going on
Nothing
Yo what's up what's your problem
Nothing
What you want to do
Nothing
So then Pete comes over he storms over It's just a bunch of it's just aggressive action So then Pete comes over
He storms over
It's just a bunch of
It's just aggressive actioning
Then Pete comes over
Yo yo what's going on
I keep saying nothing
I keep saying nothing
See you know what it is man
Pete we just
What?
It's just
The cameras are on
Yeah
But that's my point
I'm not with all that I just seen this nigga in the mall In the morning People just don't. What? It's just. The cameras are on. Yeah. But that's my point.
I'm not with all that.
I just seen this nigga in the mall in the morning with my fucking basketball shorts on.
If it's something, tell me it's something early.
Don't come with it on the carpet with the cops.
I'm not with all of that.
I'm not with it.
I'm not with all of the posturing for cameras.
That's not me.
It's never been me. I do not care that y'all are superstars.
I don't.
No, I get that. The young niggas are saying I'm a hater. I do not care that y'all are superstars. I don't. No, I get that.
The young niggas are saying I'm a hater.
I'm tired of that narrative too.
Well, I mean, it's going to come across that way.
Yeah, but it shouldn't.
I fuck with Uzi.
I fuck with Ray Schremer.
I fuck with Vince.
Who else?
It's only the...
Who do I not fuck with?
No, but the funny shit is...
Triple X I fuck with even though he keep running around doing stupid shit.
But when the clip is fucking one minute and it's you getting up, dropping a mic and going, No, but the funny shit is- Triple X I fuck with even though he keep running around doing stupid shit.
But when the clip is fucking one minute and it's you getting up, dropping a mic, and going,
what the fuck?
People, you got to look at perception.
Joe's hating again.
It's going to come across like that.
After the Yachty shit. Joe's hating again.
When has Joe ever cared about how it comes across?
No, it's not about you caring.
I'm just telling you how it's going to come across.
You mentioned that everyone's saying you're a hater.
The funny shit is, I may be be wrong But I think You fuck with me
Goes to him
I do
Yeah so I didn't
I just didn't understand that
That whole shit was weird
They're inheriting a beef
They're young niggas
It's fine
They weigh about 400
It's definitely not beef
It's not beef
Tension
Yeah it's just
Tension
I guess
Yeah cause we have to say that
Cause people are misusing words
Jump
When you say jump
It's alarming
So I want them to find
A different word
That was an attempt jump
It was a scuffle It was neither of those it wasn't a scuffle it was fisticuffs yeah
it was like it was words that's all it was it was something it was funny made for great gifts though
yeah uh i didn't like the way the beat went about the uh i know it wasn't a prodigy tribute
uh i was saying i was upset because i
think it would because it's rap music it would have been really easy to get a bunch of rappers
together to do a tribute you don't got to make sure they sound alike you don't there doesn't
be choreography no one has to play an instrument you could have got a bunch of people and did a
quick prodigy tribute pretty easy here's my thing though Prodigy passed away It was unexpected I don't know
I mean you know how
These awards shows are
Yeah timing
Timing
Everything is
But it wasn't like
When Michael had passed
And it's like
Alright we gotta be
Very careful about
Who we allow to do
A Michael Jackson tribute
You could've just got
Some legends
And spit some
Prodigy verses
All on stage together
You can't just alter
The time though
Yeah it's an awards show
So I'm going to give...
There was some shit
they could have cut
for Prodigy, in my opinion.
I know how it is with these shows.
Well, he just died
like less than a week ago, right?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It was like real close.
Unfortunately, who else
is going to do it?
Unfortunately, who else?
What other award show
is going to do that?
They'll do it at the Hip Hop Awards
in October.
When is that?
October.
Yeah, I think that's when it'll happen.
They'll do it there. The Grammys in october when is that october yeah i think that's when it'll happen they'll do it there the grammys will acknowledge it they won't do a tribute but
they won't do a tribute but they'll acknowledge it kendrick acknowledging it was was it for me
on at the awards every just every time you see kendrick or hear him talk like at one of those
types of big events it just reeks of hip-hop the outfit looked like hip-hop
the hair back looked like hip-hop and he was the only nigga that was going to go up there in the
midst of all of his glory and say prodigy taught me this this album taught me this young people
this is why prodigy is important nobody else was going to do that yeah kendrick always seems to say
say the right things.
I believe him.
Yeah.
I believe that's why he's in the space that he's in because I think that's the feeling from a lot of the older heads in hip-hop.
They look at him and say, he's hip-hop.
I mean, it resonates in his music, too.
It sounds like 2017, but you can tell where it came from. He follows the culture.
He grew up.
This is what he was born to do. He follows the culture. He grew up like this was his,
this is what he was born to do.
Yeah, I agree.
I was very happy that P and I were able to settle our differences
before he passed so unexpectedly.
Speaking of unexpected passings,
so I got caught up on Power last night
and that was rough seeing charlie murphy
the whole episode yeah that made it a little a little that changed my experience a little bit
yeah we had sort of uh some of the images that had came out uh when they was filming and that um
me too i forgot about him yeah it was rough to see him was one of the security guards skinny
one of the ceos and knowing the outcome One of the COs. And knowing the outcome,
it was certainly
a rough thing to watch.
But I was glad I saw him.
I was glad it was there.
Rest in peace,
Charlie Murphy.
Even with him being sick
and looking like that,
it was still
Charlie Murphy
in every essence
of how he was speaking,
how he was acting.
His spirit was certainly
100%.
Yeah, he was still Charlie.
Even though his body
may not have been.
Right.
One day I want to have that.
I keep saying that, that I want to have that conversation on the podcast about y'all beliefs on what happens after you die.
I keep saying that, and I never get back to it.
It's an odd follow-up to the Migos beef, but yeah, if we want to go there.
Were we still on the Migos beef?
It's not a beef.
I'm joking.
Yeah, it's not a beef.'m joking Yeah it's not a beef
It was funny though
That shit was
I didn't know what was going on
My phone just started
My phone just started blowing up
I fell asleep early
I went to sleep
Niggas started hitting me like
Yo is this real?
Is it fake?
It looks like a spoof
I'm like fam
I don't know
What y'all talking about
I woke up to a series of text messages In order of how people received information because I was asleep.
So it started with, yo, amigos, just beat the shit out of Joe on the red carpet is the first thing I see.
Look how shit just gets like.
Then I keep scrolling.
It's like, oh, nah, nah, I guess they just got into like words or whatever.
And then it was like, yo, look at the fucking clip.
Joe just stormed off.
It was just an interesting way to see how people get news. I was uh I was in my hotel
Safe from harm eating lasagna. No you was hiding when Irv or that
When Irv from brunch bounce text me
And he said yo you okay?
See yeah, I'm doing I'm doing all, I'm good, man. Thanks.
Checking in, bro.
Yeah, that's awesome of Irv.
Thanks.
While he's out there doing whatever he's doing to think of me.
And then my mom hits me and she says, those boys tried to hurt you.
I said, what are you talking about?
And then she didn't hit me back.
And then I got like six different texts saying, yo, what's good?
Are you all right?
All right, all right.
Wait a minute now.
I didn't know where all of this shit was coming from.
And I still couldn't find it for the first 10 minutes.
That shit.
I didn't know what was going on.
I was in the club.
Rumors spread quick.
Yeah.
Yeah, Ma called me at 2 a.m.
I think I would have been in the fucking hospital already by the time you called.
Thanks.
I'll be you. You in L.A., I'm in New York.
It's a three-hour difference.
I was in the club watching A.I. walk around with 17 chains on.
Ma didn't even ask me if I was okay.
He just started, like, the conversation normal.
I started laughing because I had watched the clip.
So I just called you.
I'm like, man, what are you doing?
That clip was funny, though.
What's great is it's so regular with rumors and just your antics that our group chat didn't even talk.
Yeah.
Like, no one in the group chat said shit.
That's funny.
It's like Joe just being Joe.
Another Joe day, man.
The whole time I was talking about it, but the fucking eight people that are really friends with him in our group chat didn't say a word.
Not a word.
I just called him.
Once I watched it, I said, all right, let me call this nigga and see what's going on.
He picked up, you. I'm like, I said, all right, let me call this nigga and see what's going on. He picked up.
You.

Fake Ralph sounds like Ralph, kind of.
No, no, no.

Luke James is great as Johnny.
Listen, the new edition series was dope.
They did a great job.
But come on, man. Enough is enough. But you got to understand, the New Edition series was dope. They did a great job. But come on, man.
Enough is enough.
But you gotta understand,
it was BET,
BET Awards,
BET did the movie,
it was successful.
Dog,
I feel like we've,
I feel like this shit
comes on every day.
We have not stopped
hearing about New Edition
since that shit aired.
If it was whack,
I'd be mad,
but it was good.
I tried to slander
the fake DeVoe
and all the girls killed me.
They wouldn't let me do it.
Now I know the nigga name.
It's Keith Powers and shit.
That's how you know
chicks is hoes, man.
When they start knowing
somebody's whole name.
We're going to get into
our chicks is hoes
in two minutes.
Let's do it now.
Listen, I purposely,
like, okay, so.
What happened?
So you weren't here.
So it was a lot of shit
going on in the city
this weekend
because the NBA Awards was yesterday.
Yeah, the Thoughts was watching ESPN.
So all of the hoopers was in town.
So, you know, I go out.
Oh, the draft.
Yeah.
The big three shit.
I go out Saturday.
Was that Saturday?
No, Sunday.
I go out Sunday.
So let me just see what's going on in the city, man.
I just want to sit back and just look at everything.
And it's amazing how once women find out that all the athletes are in town,
it's like I really just sat back and was just looking like,
look at this shit, man.
What were you seeing?
What wasn't I seeing?
I mean, Chick's trying to jump on AI back still.
He ain't played in the NBA in I don't know how long.
He Iverson, though.
That's AI.
Come on, man.
It's different.
Come on, man.
Listen, I've been one of the gentlemen in the same club as prime Allen Iverson
trying to bag women.
Oh, no, prime Allen Iverson. to bag women. Oh, no, prime Allen Iverson.
It was difficult.
No, yeah.
No.
It might have been impossible.
AI and them fucking BMF niggas, I'm telling you.
AI is a legend on and off the court.
And it was the same time.
AI is a legend on and off the court.
Like, the shit he was doing, and this is without social media when he was doing it.
I can only imagine.
I could definitely steal his bitches now, though.
Who?
I don't think so, bro.
No?
I just saw it Sunday, man.
That allure is still there.
No, I know that, but I'm saying now it's not impossible to share a girl with, I don't know,
I'm just saying, I think now, what?
Oh, no.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Definitely not.
Definitely not.
Back then, you wasn't sharing.
I mean, but that's how it is now. Everybody's sharing the same girl. Well, I'm faithful. Yeah, no, no, no. Definitely not. Definitely not. Back then, you wasn't sharing. I mean, but that's how it is now.
Everybody's sharing the same girls.
Well, I'm faithful.
I'm not sharing anyone.
Whenever I talk about guys sharing, I'm excluding you from that.
I'm excluding me.
I'm just saying, like, guys, and that's why there'd be so much fake beef and tension between
niggas.
It's all over females.
Because all y'all niggas got money, so y'all not beefing over money.
Anytime you see athletes beefing with each other, don't fuck with that nigga it's definitely a female behind that
one thousand percent can't be from basketball you know that's really no that's really really
corny right but what i will say is it's kind of dope because that's the only time it puts us back in our animalistic habitat no man that ain't
dope you can't be you can't be beefing over no no chick that's with every nigga if we were in the
jungle and our species weren't so sophisticated we would be beefing over those types of things
what i'm saying is as as genders when women fight about certain shit amongst women
and when men fight
about certain shit,
I just think it's cute.
But it is corny
to fight over a girl.
But niggas love having
the part in the phrase
pause everything.
It's a very old phrase.
I didn't just make this up.
But niggas love having
the whose dick is bigger contest.
Niggas love doing that.
That shit is corny, man.
It's super corny.
I don't partake in those types of shit. It's super corny. And I'm looking at chicks standing at the tables with niggas. doing that That shit is corny man It's super corny I don't partake in those types of shit
It's super corny
And like I'm looking at chicks
Standing at the tables with niggas
I'm like you was just with this nigga last month
Now wait a minute now
If I start telling you some of these
These groupie stories
No I can only
They sharing at least seven niggas
They sharing at least seven
More than that
I can name seven off the rip
I would never
but
it's a lot of these niggas
sharing the same holes
and I just be a little
I be a little perturbed
because
they don't be the cutest
of hoes
I say that all the time
the times are different man
I keep telling niggas
these IG honeys in person
look like
the rappers must share
the same
regular
build a body bitches
for the past
fucking ten years.
Same three.
I don't know how in-depth you gentlemen would like to get here.
Which brings us to the pool party.
It was quite a few of those at the pool party.
Just a little different in the light.
As far as women that have been shared or what they look like in real life?
Yeah, just what they look like.
No, just looks.
And they probably being shared. I mean, I don't know.. Yeah, just what they look like. No, just looks. And they probably being shared.
I mean, I don't know.
It's none of my business.
But, yeah, just looks.
A lot of them look a little funny in the light.
Yeah, but we, I mean, I'll be trying to.
That shit don't shock me no more.
Yeah, I was just going to say that.
Like, I've been saying that.
I've been saying that.
I'm not shell-shocked when I see a chick on IG.
I just laugh now.
Now it's just comedy for me.
Like, I'm not even surprised anymore. I just laugh now. Now it's just comedy for me. I'm not even surprised anymore.
I just brag about our part
and I just laugh at the people
that brag about fucking those girls
and then I see them in real life.
That's what I laugh at.
I laugh at the niggas that be online
really going crazy over these chicks.
Wait, time out.
Do niggas still brag about fucking women?
Yes, niggas do that.
What?
I haven't heard that in a while.

Super sunny all day I'm glad it rained. Now that I think about it, because it would have been way too hectic if it was like super hot, super sunny all day.
I'm glad, too.
It definitely gave me the exact way that I want to go about doing the next one.

Asad.
I'm rolling with Asad going to be a legend.
Yeah, we talking about LeVar Ball.
Nah, Asad going to be a legend.
Watch.
I'm telling you.
It's all he knows.
What do you mean going to be?
Well, he already is.
But what I'm saying is.
Asad is the big homie.
When he starts like really speaking and I'm telling you, it's going to be.
We're going to be like, Khaled really prepared him for this.
And you know what?
I'm making jokes about how Asad was moving, but don't get it fucked up.
Khaled was moving similarly.
That's a word, right?
Similarly.
I don't like how I say it.
My fucking lisp.
He was moving kind of in the same vein as that, him fucking Lenny.
Is Khaled, like, the biggest, one of the biggest?
Yeah. He just is. yeah what is khaled khaled is the he's an artist he's the he's he's he's an executive and an artist in every sense of the word yeah he's an executive and artist
khaled might be the ambassador of hip-hop right now to the world honestly I think he's that figure now You know We never have this talk
And I won't have it now
As you have it
He's the Farrakhan of hip hop
At some point
When I'm
When I have more
Courage
We'll have the conversation
I'm not
I'm not having it now
But
Somewhere along the line
I feel like Clue should have been
somewhere in that realm.
I can see why you said that.
I can see why you said that.
How many albums Clue put out on Rockefeller?
Two?
I think two.
The first one was real big.
Why did he stop that?
Oh, the Rockefeller shit.
Yeah.
So why not go get
another deal if you clue?
I should talk to Clue
about that.
Yeah, I want to say.
He should do a podcast.
That'd be great to have Clue.
He keep texting me
to come do his
fucking radio show.
I'm not coming up, dear.
Well, you don't rap anymore.
I don't rap.
I ain't rapping.
I heard somebody
that sounds like you
on the new Slaughterhouse.
I know, and I went
in the fucking studio because I love Royce andlaughterhouse I know And I went in the fucking studio
Because I love Royce
And Royce's family
I went in the studio
To do that shit
I hated that hour
In the studio
I was like wow
It didn't sound like it
Is this how I was living
It sounded great
I wouldn't know
My ear was off
I was in there
Looking at Ian
Saying listen man
I don't know
I don't know how that sounded
The verse was alright
Ian nodding
Saying this shit is crazy
I'm like that doesn't help me
You saying it's hard
So that's how I felt about that
You dissed Bryson Siller
Nah
Bryson's my guy
Bryson's my guy
Give him a little shot
Slim Jimmy's my guy now
Fuck with him
Ray Strum is my favorite group now
Especially after that
Migos incident
I seen you not
I seen you not keep that same energy
With Ray Strum
Yeah I'm mad phony
You are
I'm mad phony I'm are. I'm mad phony.
I'm thinking it's hard.
I like Slim Jimmy.
Maybe more than
Sway Lee now.
Yeah?
I heard an interesting
story about, and I'm
not going to talk about
it here, but I heard
about exactly how much
that unforgettable
record ended up
costing.
How much was it?
I'm not going to say,
but I'll keep it a
buck with y'all.
I don't know if I would have purchased it at that price.
Yeah?
Well, I wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway.
This is a big record, though.
I'm asking y'all because y'all have some experience in the industry.
How much money y'all think that record brings back?
That's a different time. In a bigger y'all think that record brings back? That's a different time.
In a bigger picture
or just what that record brings?
That record,
that one record,
how many millions of dollars
come back from this record?
It's going to be streamed mostly,
so I don't even know
if we can talk millions over on that.
This is a good question.
I'd like to start asking people this.
It's a different time, man, with music, like the way you put music out.
Okay, I'll ask you all this.
In the bigger picture, does that record bring you back millions?
Probably.
No, that record is bringing back millions.
Yeah, no, that's for sure.
I'm saying strictly off just the record.
I'm looking at a paycheck from just this record, not what it does.
I'm talking about what it does. Shows, either of that. Just that record, I don't record, not what it does. I'm talking about what it shows either of that.
Just that record.
I don't know what's doing millions.
I'm talking about what it does.
That's his lead single.
It's a huge single.
His album drops next month.
Niggas is buying that song.
And I think more niggas is buying that album because of that song.
You're getting more shows because of that song.
You're doing a lot more because of that song. Whatever is bringing is in a million somewhere so i'll change my question i'll ask
y'all this what is the most that y'all would pay for that record
and i know this conversation is probably too savvy for the fans because they don't be knowing what records cost or don't cost anyway.
But records nowadays don't cost very much.
Right.
Especially when everyone's friends.
Yeah, if they cost anything.
We'll come back to that.
I seem to have stumped you guys.
Yeah, that's a tough question.
All right, we'll come back to it.
What else do we have?
Which means we won't come back to it.
Oh, while I was listening
to the Khaled album, I started thinking,
which, all right, Travis Scott is one of my favorite new rappers,
artists, if you will.
I like Travis a lot.
I'm with you on that.
Here comes the Travis Scott diss.
Here comes Travis Scott diss.
But I'm nervous.
I'm nervous for Travis.
I think he's doing a little too much.
I feel like every album has the Travis record.
On Khaled's album, he's all over that shit.
Is Travis putting his sound out there too much, too quick?
Travis is hot.
I don't think so.
That nigga's hot.
You don't think he's just, he's on every, as he should be.
Because his shit is great.
He's very talented.
His shows are amazing.
I just think, is he putting that sound out way too,
I'm not saying be Kid Cudi and disappear With your sound and then come back every year or so
But I feel like
There's not an album he's not on
The fucking Khaled album is Travis Scott
That nigga's hot
I mean that's what happens when you
I don't think he's oversaturating himself
If that's what you're asking
Is he in that direction though? If he keeps up doing this
Is that too much of Travis?
Cause his sound is unique to
him like he created that he's the holder of that he can do what he wants with it but if you do it
too much and give it to everybody we like are we now making that not his sound anymore all right
time out i don't think he's the sole holder of that sound i like the travis sound from kanye
sometimes i like the travis sound with rihanna. I like the Travis sound with SZA.
Well, that was the least Travis-y
thing he's done. I'm just
freestyling right now, so that's where my list stops.
Those are the people I like
to hear Travis' sound from. I don't
think it's awkward when Rihanna sounds like that.
But he is kind of a lot of places.
Because when he's on albums, it's literally
like, alright, we know Travis
wrote and recorded and made the beat by himself and then played it for the artist and the artist is like, all right, we know Travis wrote and recorded
and made the beat by himself and then played it for the artist,
and the artist is like, all right, let me get on it.
It never feels like a collab.
They just take a Travis record.
And his ad-libs throughout the whole record
and a beat from him, yeah.
I get what you're saying.
I just don't know if he keeps up at this pace.
I just think, of course, me not knowing how to make beats
should tell someone how to make beats, but I would just pull back a little bit. I don't think if he keeps up at this pace. I just think, of course, me not knowing how to make beats should tell someone how to make beats.
But I would just pull back a little bit.
I don't think he's burned out yet.
Yeah, I don't think he's nowhere near that.
I understand what you're saying.
I'm saying is he at the starting point of doing so?
Name some shit he's not on, man.
And it's all hot.
I'm not saying it's whack because it's all great.
But when you're hot, you're in high demand.
That's part of the game.
I think he's above that tier where he doesn't need to do that.
I think he's so talented that he doesn't need to be on everyone's project.
Listen, that's meant to keep relevant.
I don't think he needs to do that.
I see what you're saying.
Be more picky with who you give a feature to.
Even if it isn't a super popular person.
You're up there.
Those are your peers
you're not really need to do that right now i can agree with that i was in the studio with berg
a few days that nigga wiz got a record wiz always got record yeah i'm about to say
wiz keep a record every time you think wiz don't got a record, he comes back with a record. Wiz got a mean, like, girl record.
Jeremiah's, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
And Atlantic is up there figuring out what to do.
Man, I might take a label job one day.
These niggas don't know what they're doing.
But you'd have to work with Migos if you take the Atlantic job.
Migos on Atlantic?
I don't know.
I'm just making shit up.
I'm not working with Migos, by take the Atlantic trip? Migos on the Atlantic? I don't know. I'm just making shit up. I'm not working with Migos
by the way.
Why not?
Migos is dope, man.
And you like Migos.
They wouldn't mesh well.
I don't think
Joe knows how to tell
them
personality-wise.
Talk about Dracos.
I mean,
wait, wait,
are you speaking about
doing a joint with them
or like working
as an executive?
Yeah, like executive.
How many artists
get along with executives?
Artists don't get along
with most executives.
That doesn't matter.
I think we're entering
an era of new age media
and new age executives, though.
So I think whatever
used to be done
as an executive
or as a media personality,
I think it's about to change.
Well, not about to,
I'm going to change it
on the media side.
I'm not conducting interviews
like these niggas.
I'm not doing it.
Nope.
Look how fast
I get right back
to being mad at some shit.
I love being mad.
That's what the new edition
shit taught me.
I love being mad.
Do you like being mad?
Yeah,
I'm never happy.
I'm happy when I'm not happy.
What else is there?
Speaking of labels,
Chance apologized
to Dr. Dre in the aftermath.
Oh, back to you, Rory.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, Rory.
Yes, yes, yes, Rory.
I'm Nadeska today?
Yes, yes, yes.
You are Nadeska.
We are here with you, Back to Chance Independent Man.
Okay.
Let me ask you, why is this happening?
Now, do you want me to give you how I want to spin it?
Or do you want to give me the truth?
I could not wait to get in front of Rory to ask him,
why is Aftermath and Dre the only person that he is apologetic toward?
I'm going to give you my spin answer.
And then I'll give you the
real answer let's do it out of all those labels well down they might can I speak
good Trey is the only one while he was had a partnership with Interscope it was
his label that he started amongst just artists and he was an artist so while he
wasn't independent he was probably the closest thing to independent at that
time so that was their apology.
But in actuality, of course, Chance wants to continue to work with Apple.
Jimmy Iovine has a lot to do with Apple.
So let me go apologize to Jimmy Iovine's best friend.
I said he wants to continue to work with Apple.
Does not make him any less independent.
Doesn't make him any less independent.
I'm agreeing.
He has relationships with people.
So let me save face.
I'm agreeing.
Let me save face
and apologize.
All right,
but this is my point
and this is me
digging deeper pause.
He's about to
sign off, man.
That was a very
in-depth apology.
That was a lot of tweets,
my nigga.
It was.
That wasn't just the,
that wasn't the just, yo, I had a quick talk with Iveen.
It felt the way, let me get this off right quick.
Right.
That was, hey, my utmost sincerity.
Yo, I was, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking there, Jimmy and Dre.
The apology was more than the event.
Yeah, man.
So that's what I'm reading into there.
Somebody really, he stopped some business somewhere that's affecting things.
Even if you're independent, you got to keep your relationships with people.
And Chance is great.
Clearly.
Chance is great.
He did body the apology.
Yeah.
It was a way, when I was reading it, I was saying, damn, if I were in his position, I would not have bodied this apology this way.
Well, Chance is saying he's very much pro-artist, and Dre is an artist more than he is a label in that instance.
He's right.
So I think that's what he's apologizing for.
He is absolutely correct there.
But I think Chance is a student of the culture.
Absolutely.
I don't think that Chance was without this knowledge when he did this act in the first place.
So now you're telling us about some information that I'm of the belief you already had.
But that's fine because you got to do it.
I'm not mad.
You got to do it.
Oh, no, no.
He bought it.
It was great.
Artistic expression.
I was so proud
I was happy as a fuck
diss everybody
but
you kinda can't
diss Dre
yes
you cannot
if there is
one person
that you can't
diss
yeah
Dre is
listen
when you do it
with
you
NWA
Snoop M50 Kendrick.
Nothing more to say.
Throw some Pac in there as well.
Wow.
That ends this for me.
Yeah, you can't do that.
Chance, in-depth apology.
Yeah.
Who has a better resume than that?
Than Dre?
Oh, I think it's not even a debate at all.
Dre's been around forever.
Dre, Hov, and Puff with the most impressive resumes in hip-hop, right?
And I think the Forbes list kind of indicates that.
But with Dre dominating eras, of course Puff and Hov have clearly dominated eras. Dre has dominated way more eras. Dre has eras. Of course, Puff and Hov have clearly
dominated eras.
Dre has dominated way more eras.
Forever.
Even when Puff and
Hov were
dominating, Dre was right there too.
So let's talk about domination for a minute.
The rapper from Queens?
No, not domination.
How's domination doing? He's in jail.
Still? I think he gotination. All right. How's Domination doing? He's in jail. Still?
I think he got 20 years.
Okay.
Really?
That's the last I saw.
I don't know if he got an appeal or something.
Don't quote me.
Dom was wilding, though.
Niggas was wilding.
All right.
No, not that Domination.
Hold your head, Domination, though, if you're in jail.
I don't know.
your head domination though if you're in jail i don't know um i was thinking of all of the major cities that uh comprise hip-hop that hip-hop is comprised of it's just really chicago atlanta
la new york if you don't say Houston, then you're wrong.
That's six.
Toronto.
Not counting them yet.
They're dominating too, but I'm only talking about over here.
Well, not hip-hop.
I'm talking about... They're dominating music.
Oh, we count Toronto as the U.S.?
No.
But we're just talking about Toronto.
Even though their sound is dominating the U.S.
Yeah, no, we can't count them as U.S., but their sound is dominating.
All right, so let's say Toronto.
That's seven.
Why is there only music
coming from seven places,
really?
That's not true.
That's just where
a majority of it is.
With the internet now,
there's mad,
there's a lot of rappers
I don't know where the fuck
they from or heard of
where they're from.
I know,
but it seems the major
labels only market
or target the major cities
for some reason. And the rest of the places are target the major cities for some reason
and the rest of the places
are left to fend
for themselves
amongst SoundCloud
and Spotify
but it makes sense
even more now
with the internet
because I can go
to all these cities
where a majority
of the people are
and then the rest
of the people
see it on the internet
did we read the article
about Spotify
thugging everybody out
I didn't know
I read the one
about Apple
about giving us
our fucking podcast
numbers though
but tell me about Spotify they're thugging everybody out out? I didn't know. I read the one about Apple about giving us our fucking podcast numbers though.
Tell me about Spotify.
They're thugging everybody out.
Spotify is thugging out. They're thugging out
the labels. There's an article running around.
I forgot where I read it and I'm on a time crunch
so I'm not about to look for it. But
if you do your research,
they're thugging these fucking labels out, man.
These streaming services.
Music is going to be in a very interesting place in a few years.
Less than five.
It's going to be very fun to watch.
That's all I had there.
Streaming Hov album on Friday.
Predictions?
I think it's a classic already.
I think it's going to be a personal Jay-Z album. I don't think it's going to be as stunting as Magna Carta was. I think it's gonna be A personal Jay-Z album I don't think it's gonna be
As
Stunting as
Magna Carta was
I think it's gonna be personal
Finally some
Old head rap
I'm waiting
Yeah I think
I think this is gonna be like
I don't think
This is like for real
Hip hop
Niggas
I think
Cause Hovind
He's in that space
Where he's gonna make
He can make any music he wants
That he likes
And that's the music he likes.
Man, if I'm just going off the names that nigga was saying on Twitter,
he kind of wilding.
Oh, yeah.
He thanked the songwriters.
First of all, congrats to him being invited to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
And then, you know, well, thanking everybody that inspired him.
And if I'm going off of that list that was a real hip
hoppy yeah list but he uh you know people was having fun with the thing on twitter because
they was like a whole tweeting that definitely was not whole tweeting that number one i saw you
tweet that that was listen man listen did you see what those periods and that was like did you see
the punctuation in those tweets?
If that was Hov. I 100% think that was Hov, by the way.
No.
Hell no.
Someone who's texted with Hov, please at me.
Tell me if that's how he types.
That was Tata?
No, man.
That was Jay Brown.
Well, first of all.
I think that was either Kaiser or John Manelli.
Man, if you don't shut the fuck up.
I think it was Kaiser.
I'm telling you, man. Kaiser. That is not. That don't think it was Kaiser. I'm telling you, man.
Kaiser.
That is not.
That was not Kaiser, Maul.
I'm telling you, man.

No.
Or Lenny.
Shit.
Okay.
Lenny, John Manelli.
So the next day.
I could see John Manelli.
Industry plug.
I went to go see the bad boy shit, and I saw Lenny there.
And this was the night after.
And I went and I said
Thank you Lenny for
Mentioning my friend
In Hov's
Twitter rant
Lenny didn't find that shit funny
At all
That motherfucker didn't even
Crack a smile at me
Lenny's kind of funny sometimes though
Nah that's my guy

Lenny's a really good guy
Those tweets were hilarious
That was Hov man

So it's still like
Whoever it was
It was still coming from Hov
Damn it
Hov was definitely
Gunning off the names
But he was not
No Hov was not tweeting that
I think that was Hov
No man
But I don't
Cause he did that
Twitter rant shit before
When it was really Elliot Wilson
That was a joke
I think it just was
And he wasn't typing like that.
So why all of a sudden
is he typing?
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
It's not Hov, man.
That was not Hov, man.
That punctuation was too crazy, man.
And Hov...
He doesn't write shit, though.
What?
He doesn't write shit, though.
He knows how to...
Hov don't know how to write.
You crazy as fuck.
He's in the Songwriter Hall of Fame.
Yeah, all top of the dome.
He knows where punctuate...
a period goes in a sentence, man.
Don't do that, man.
Hov don't write shit down.
How could he not?
Twitter, we not going to know what to do.
If he did the audio text into Twitter, it would have been fine.
But he was typing for the first time.
No, but listen, man.
Those punctuation marks were all over.
If that was Hov, he was in trouble.
And he was trying to send us Morse code and let us know.
Let us know that, listen, they got Hov. Send the bag, man. He to send us Morse code and let us know let us know
that listen
they got Hov
send the bag man
he was tweeting
in Morse code
did you see that shit
that punctuation
was crazy
there was definitely
some double entendres
in there
and we didn't even know
I just think you're hating
I'm not hating
did he ever call you mouse
or was that
just the first time
he never called me
anything

It was your boss.

Anytime Hov called me, it was a diss.
Man, he say, yes, mouse, you too.
Button.
Ha ha.
Look, you hating.
I'm not hating.
You want to be the only nigga cool with Hov.
I'm just saying that wasn't him tweeting.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying he didn't say it.
I'm not saying he didn't say it. I'm not saying he didn't say it.
Why can't other people be cool with Hov too?
People can be cool with Hov.
What the fuck you talking about?
I'm saying.
So let me be cool with Hov.
Don't tell me I'm cool with Lenny S now.
Listen, Jay was not sitting there tweeting that.
That's all I'm saying.
But he was giving off, I believe it was him giving off those names.
Man, back to you, Nadeska.

Yo how you feel about the draft?
We ain't speak about that man
About your Knicks
Your beloved Knicks
Listen
Phil
As much as I hate him
Why you looking at me like that though?
What's up with you?
I'm asking you a question
We haven't kicked it
No
We just kicking it
We just catching up
No I'm not trying to kick it.
Okay.
Phil, I hate Phil, but he has drafted a good European.
So maybe I'll give him a chance here.
But I was upset when you have Smith Jr. and Monk on the board at that time.
Like when he drafted Porzingis, those two weren't available.
Rory, listen.
So it was okay.
The draft is all about taking the best player available.
I'm aware.
He was not the best player available. I'm aware. He was not the best player available.
I'm definitely aware.
Okay.
I have been screaming Smith Jr. since we got the eighth pick.
That's not even my biggest beef.
I like Smith Jr.
I like Monk.
But I get taking a 6'5 nigga with a 7'1.
You got to be able to guard the perimeter.
I understand that part.
My thing is Phil ain't going to be there in two years. That's my thing. And this kid won't be ready for guard the perimeter. I understand. I understand that part. My thing is, Phil ain't going to be there
in two years.
No.
That's my thing.
And this kid won't be ready
for another two years.
So you're drafting,
I don't know that
because they said that
about Porzingis too
when that nigga came in
kind of effective.
Yeah, but Porzingis
is a seven-footer with skill.
This kid is a dime a dozen
guards in the league.
I'm not going to say that yet.
Okay.
I'm not saying that yet.
You'll see it.
Where have you seen this kid?
When you went to France, nigga.
Let's hear it.
What the fuck is Maul talking about?
That's exactly my point.
Yeah, but you ain't seen enough to be able to say this kid ain't in it
and he needs two or three years.
But as a guard in the league, that's like the toughest position right now.
You know how many guards, like great guards in the NBA right now?
Yeah, which is why I understand Phil wanting to draft that guard.
I don't have to see that kid, and I know he's not better than Dennis Smith Jr.
Or Malik Monk.
I know that.
Now.
Right now.
He's not.
That's all I'm saying.
The draft is all about taking the best player available.
I think that those players that you mentioned have higher ceilings.
I do. That's all I'm saying, bro. But I have that those players that you mentioned have higher ceilings. I do.
That's all I'm saying, bro.
But I have nothing to base that off of, so I'm waiting to get more information.
I'm waiting to see Frank Nicolina.
Nicolit.
I don't know.
I don't know his name.
Well, congrats to Russ on winning MVP.
I think we all kind of knew he was going to win.
Yeah, I did.
Did you guys watch the NBA awards?
No, I don't even like the idea.
Yeah, I think it's kind of cheesy.
Yeah, it's a little wack.
I gave it about three minutes
and had to turn it off.
They're trying to get shit
popping like that.
I understand they're trying
to market.
Drake is a great host, though.
You got to get Drake
to host more shit.
He's funny.
He's a good host.
But that's why he's going
to always get those type of things
because he's well-spoken.
He has humor.
He has that humor
that those type of gigs call for.
I think he did a great job. I didn't see a lot of it but the scene certain clips I saw the clips this morning
yeah Drake dropped three records and the needle didn't move at all I like I like what he did to
the freaking you record that's the only one I like I don't think the one with Metro and Quavo is for
me so I'm not going to comment on it it cuz I don't particularly like that music to begin with but the other record Signs
throw away more life record I've heard that Drake record a bunch of times I
didn't hear it again I like that Drake record but I didn't need it again I like
it too but in Colin Kaepernick Kaepernick announces retirement Louis Vuitton better
giving Drake the bag for that they want Drake is getting a bag for it yeah like
Drake is the bag yeah as soon as he walks in he ain have given Drake the bag for that. Drake is getting a bag for it. Drake is the bag.
Yeah.
As soon as he walks in, he ain't talking unless it's a bag.
Yeah, that's the bag.
He's not texting if it ain't the bag.
Yeah, but back to what I was saying, Kaepernick.
He announced retirement?
I didn't know that.
Yeah, he's retiring.
He still doesn't have a...
That was another thing I was a little upset at the BET Awards.
That he wasn't a presenter or just somebody involved in the award show?
For all the flack
he's taken, right?
Yeah, I thought that would be
a good thing of BET to do.
So do y'all think
it's good to be woke
or you should be careful
where you're woke at?
Because he's woke, clearly.
It depends what your intentions are
and your goals are.
But see,
this is the thing
I don't like about sports
because they did the same thing
to Chris Jackson,
Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf.
He was actually standing for the national anthem.
He was just praying his Muslim prayer during the national anthem.
And they ousted him.
He was still, to me, he's one of the greatest guards that ever played the game.
That's 100% true.
But a lot of people don't know about that because of the way the NBA just ousted him and blackballed him as a result of him just saying the Muslim prayer during the national anthem.
See, this is another one of those conversations that I don't think we have enough time to get into.
But we do know who sports is ran by.
No, yeah, I get that.
We don't really seem to care just because we really like sports.
But this is not really a revelation to me anyway.
Yeah, but it's just. You can't be woke in the nfl especially not the nfl not there we pay you too good boy yeah but yeah we don't got
enough time to get to that this is a whole that's a whole that is my point but it's very telling
that this gentleman i just wish that more black athletes spoke out in support of Kaepernick.
Let me just say that.
We ain't got to go too deep into it, but I wish that that happened.
Well, again, me outside looking in, but I just think a lot of them see what happened to him
and naturally are a little nervous to do so.
They can't kick all of us out.
They can't do it.
It's impossible.
There won't be no league.
But they will never have to.
But that's what I'm saying. All of us ain't do it. It's impossible. There won't be no league. But they will never have to. But that's what I'm saying.
All of us ain't about that.
That's the problem.
That's what I think the problem is.
Mo, that's the problem everywhere.
I'm just saying that that's the problem.
I'm not saying it's not a problem everywhere.
That's the problem.
Like, more black athletes should be supporting Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick did get a really huge check, right?
Yeah.
He got $100 million, I think.
I don't know if it was guaranteed, but I don't think he'll be hurting anytime soon.
No, no.
My thing is, when you blackballed, that's different.
That's not really his that he's donating.
When you blackballed, though, from the league, you blackballed from all league activities.
He can't go and he's not getting a fucking announcer job.
Shut up.
Hell no.
If they won't let him play, you think they don't give him an announcer job?
He can't even go anywhere and really, like, represent the NFL.
No.
Honestly.
Them old white men, they handled that shit quickly.
Expediently.
I do want to say that I did listen to the SZA album, finally.
What are your thoughts?
Great album.
Bodied her performance, man.
Great album.
It's so great when people sound like their record.
I was nervous for her because they fucked up the whole intro and the whole shit.
And I was like, damn, that's probably going to get her out her whole mind.
Not at all.
She got out there and did the damn thing.
I saw her on the carpet, gave her a big hug and kiss, was real happy for her.
Shout out to SZA. Yeah, her on the carpet, gave her a big hug and kiss, was real happy for her. Shout out to SZA.
Yeah,
that album was crazy.
Maul's homegirl,
what was that?
I saw one tweet about
Azealia Banks saying that
SZA stole her style
or someone said that.
I don't know if she said,
I just saw a tweet about that.
That's Maul,
I was just trying to get to the source.
That's Maul's homegirl.
My homegirl.
That's my homegirl.
Okay. You heard that was my girl. It was Wikipedia, man. My homegirl. That's my homegirl. I wanted to go to... Okay.
You heard that was my girl.
It was Wikipedia, man.
Okay.
Okay.
Can't listen to that.
I hear you.
We haven't spoken since her volume two came out, speaking of women in R&B.
We haven't spoken since the picture of her came out.
Yo, they was marketing this girl in such a way that I thought she was just ugly and unattractive.
So did I.
Boy, were we wrong. Yeah. she was just ugly and unattractive. Boy, were we wrong.
She is not ugly and unattractive.
She's very, very
attractive, actually.
Somebody that tells me
they write with her was in the same hotel
as me. I'm going to
believe him just because he was on his way to the concert.
It doesn't take much to fool me.
Did he have a Roc Nation head on?
No, I don't think he did
But uh
Don't believe him
He says he writes with her
We exchange information
I was really happy about that
Cause I'm a huge fan of her work
God damn
I don't even know if I have a sleeper for the week
If you would've said one more word to Migos
You would've been asleep for the week
Spades
Two in a? Spades.
Two in a possible.
Spades.
Two in a possible.
That's funny.
Joe,
that might be one of the funniest things you've ever said.
How long you thought about that?
I'm trying to tell you something.
I think.
Two in a possible.
That's the only thing in a jump.
First of all,
that's a weak ass hand.
First of all,
is it real spades?
Let's just say that.
If you yell out,
you're like,
two in a possible.
Nigga's like, we going blind. We going blind. hand first of all is it real spades let's just say that if you yell out you're two and a possible
two and a possible first of all real niggas ain't never going blind so fix your spade game
that's the thing about a jump you only got to take one or two down with you
well how many are there man i was staring at blouses and hair
and bike belts.
Some very nice shit.
They were very sharply dressed,
though, I will say that.
Dressed like sin.
They were sharply dressed.
Quavo's little
Crash Bandicoot chain
was kind of hard.
I don't even like jewelry like that.
They some stylish dudes, man.
They got their own...
They are stylish
and they are talented.
I'm talking shit, of course,
but they are talented
and they are stylish.
The funny shit to me was,
of course, they always dressed that way,
but when the Entourage goon came into frame,
he was dressed just as nice and identical to them.
Oh, the fourth Migo.
Yeah.
Yeah, the guy that was tough with lyric.
He was going to be the first nigga on the floor.
All right.
What's next?

But it was a great
Great intro

Russ' album Still sounds dope Still She still Yeah His album On the way here It's not beating Rick Ross' intro yet, but it was a great, great intro. I was shocked at how dope.
Ross' album still sounds dope.
Still.
Still.
She still, yeah. I'm listening to Apple's album on the way here.
I don't want that to get lost in the mix.
I haven't seen the Can't Stop, Won't Stop, Puffy shit.
Oh, speaking of great projects, Ray J and Chris Brown put out a dope project.
Yeah.
I'm going on record and saying that.
That shit is really good.
That's what the group chat said.
I've heard good things about it and I'm a big fan
of Chris Brown and Ray J.
I mean,
I'm not a blood
so I don't relate
to too much of it
but it sounds amazing.
I wish Chris Brown
and Al Merriam
would come out.
He got some joints on there.
Shout out to Royce, man.
Bar exam four is out.
Yep.
Alright.
Royce is racing still.
Super hard.
I don't know if I've heard
anyone rap that way.
Yo, listen,
Royce is, listen, man.
He's approaching that conversation.
Shit, we had it on.
No, we, I mean, because we just know.
I'm talking about, it's going to become a more broad, general conversation on people.
Royce Da 5'9 is crazy.
I feel bad for the person at Rap Genius That had to Put all that shit On Rap Genius
And type it
Royce is different
Yeah
Shout out to Royce
But I think all the niggas
That's different
Kinda recognize Royce
As being different
Oh yeah
Those that know know
That's all that it
That's all it really matters to me
I don't care what the
Those that know know
What the untrained
Fucking ear thinks
Yeah
Outside of Charlie Murphy power Any thoughts on the first episode? Those that know, know. What the untrained fucking ear thinks. Yeah.
Outside of Charlie Murphy, Power, any thoughts on the first episode?
Power is one of the shows I can't even grade them until five episodes in.
The old white man is very intriguing to me.
How so?
The jail.
In jail. Oh, the guy that we're interviewing.
Yeah, he was there for a reason.
He wasn't just there.
And I liked him.
I liked his new character.
Whatever he's about to do, whatever fuck shit's about to happen with him, I want to know.
I think, why am I blanking?
Because I don't go to court often.
The new lawyer against the fucking.
Oh, yeah, the new guy.
The Asian guy, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Something might happen to him. I don't know if he gonna make it
To too many court sessions
Yeah he's too efficient
He's too good at his job
He's a little too condescending
I think for Ghost
To just let him keep rocking
Yeah
Here's my spoiler
Homeboy to kill Greg
Is 100% killing the Asian guy
That's happening
Sorry
Yeah I can kind of see that
Yeah that The way they be looking at, I can kind of see that.
Yeah, that nigga be dead. The way they be looking at each other
is kind of like,
your mother.
That nigga walk through this.
No, no.
What are you doing here
as the commanding?
Yeah, that nigga gonna kill him
episode three.
As much as I like Jay Pharoah
or whatever,
I just can't see Turtle
being the lawyer.
It's just tough for me.
That's the only casting
that I'm like,
eh, he's doing well,
but I just see Turtle
against Turtle. He's forever gonna be Turtle. He's just Turtle. Forever.'s the only casting That I'm like Eh he's doing well But I just see Turtle Against
He's forever gonna be Turtle
He's just Turtle
Forever
He's done a lot of shit
Since Entourage
But I was just
Such an Entourage fan
I like him as Proctor
And I've never seen
One episode of the Entourage
It's a good series
I don't know if it's for you
But it's a good series
You've never seen
An episode of Entourage?
It's one of my favorite
Series ever
You don't even wanna
Begin to know
The series that I have
Not seen one episode of
I thought you would have seen Entourage.
Joe just saw The Wire like six months ago.
The only time I ever even needed to reference Entourage is when I was dissing Saigon because I heard he was on Entourage.
Other than that, I had no interest in watching an Entourage.
You would like that show, though.
Why?
I don't think he would.
I know the type of shows he of show He likes fucking weird crime shit
That show is not
Sophisticated enough for me
It's a great show though
I don't need to just see
Niggas running around
As an entourage
I was the entourage
I'm not
But it's not
Niggas in LA
You're so stuck on the word
He famous
His niggas
It was more shit going on
Than that though
It's why they wildin' in LA
Nah it was about
It was about the movie.
That nigga crew is crazy.
See?
That's not what the show
is about.
I've never heard you try
to be so surface before.
You usually try to dig deep
and like it's doping it.
But no, no, no.
I'm only being silly right now
because when Entourage
was at its,
was in its pinnacle,
I asked niggas,
you know I asked,
I said,
what is this show about?
And that's what they told me.
They said it was a guy
who moved to LA
and I was like,
uh,
I'll pass on that one.
It's about the movie business.
It's all just,
it's an in-depth look
at all the parts
of the movie business.
It's just surrounded
by these four people.
Alright,
so let me ask y'all this.
Like Jeremy Piven in that
is one of the greatest
TV characters ever
as Ari Gold. Ever. Yeah, I one of the greatest TV characters Ever As Ari Gold
Ever
Yeah I hear a lot of people
Talk about this Ari Gold person
Yeah
He needs his
Ari needs his own show
Shit yeah
A spin off of Ari
Would've been great
I don't think
Entourage is as famous
As niggas say
Then why'd the movie flop?
Uh
Did it flop?
I didn't even
It flopped
It was down for 30 minutes
It flopped
Niggas killed it
It flopped in the sense of They asked every. It flopped. Niggas killed it.
It flopped in the sense of...
They asked every celebrity to come...
Yeah.
It was a lot surrounding it.
But only because I think you can only fit...
See, the series is like an hour every week.
No, it's half hour.
Half hour?
It's only half hour.
Okay, half hour every week, right?
But mad episodes.
Yeah, so it's like the movie,
you got to try to do all of that in maybe an hour.
Is it worth going back to is my question.
The movie?
No, no, no, no, no.
The series.
The series?
Like I went back to The Wire.
I didn't see The Wire when it was on.
Yeah, it's worth it.
I saw that.
But you got to go in with the mind state of what, like,
because I know you go into shows in crime mode investigative.
It's just a cool show to watch.
Like you got to relax and watch it.
That's cool.
Now you're not at the edge of your seat when you're watching it.
I like The Rock's show. Ballers? That's cool Now you're not at the edge Of your seat When you're watching it I like the Rocks show
Ballers
That's like a cool show
To just watch
Okay
That's like the same vein
Go back to Entourage then
Yeah
But I knew going in
The movie was just going
To be a longer episode
I wasn't going in like
Alright they about to kill this
I knew what it was gonna be
And I think everyone else did
We were just happy
To see Entourage again
I'm not going
Because they weren't
Doing another season
So they might as well
Just try a movie
I'm not going to watch
Pac's movie I haven't seen it yet Yeah I haven't seen it I'm not going to see it But I'm not gonna say I'm not going because they weren't doing another season so they might as well just try a movie I'm not going to watch Pac's movie
I haven't seen it yet
yeah I haven't seen it
I'm not going to see it
but I'm not going to say
I'm not going to see it
I just haven't
felt like going out
I'm not going to the
movies to see it
if I turn my TV on
and somehow it's on
one of my fucking apps
then fine
I'll watch it
other than that
nah
I'm cool
I'm not doing that
shit it did really well
it just got really bad reviews
I don't care about LeVar Ball
Wrestling
Now him running into the ring
One of the funnier things
I've seen
Maul you know
How you feel about the Lakers pick?
I don't feel about the Lakers pick
You the only person I know
That don't like that pick
By the way
I just don't think
Lonzo Ball is going to be that good
He can play
Don't get me wrong he can play
I've watched him he can definitely play ball but I just think that I would have went with Dennis
Smith Jr. at two because I don't think that I don't think that Lonzo Ball is better than D'Angelo
Russell so oh that's what I was about to ask you who will have the better NBA career which is a
different question actually who will have the better NBA career? Which is a different question, actually. Who will have the better NBA career, D'Angelo Russell or Lonzo Ball?
And why?
I think D'Angelo Russell is going to do really well in Brooklyn
because they're going to give him the team.
And I think D'Angelo, he shoots it better than Lonzo.
He passes just as well.
If that whole recording shit didn't happen with
D'Angelo, because when you look at his numbers, his numbers
were great. But if that shit doesn't
happen, I don't even think that the Lakers even think about
moving him. It's back to how to move
when you can't record your teammates in the locker room.
I totally get that, and I stand by
that, but I don't... Lonzo
Ball's not head and
heels better than D'Angelo. He might be
a little more athletic, maybe, but aside from that.
I also don't think that's why that guy was in the rest of the office.
He comes in with more box office.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
That's the thing.
That's what I'm not.
It's Los Angeles.
The Knicks have box office.
They're going to sell out every game no matter if they're winning, losing,
because it's New York City.
It's in the middle of Manhattan.
People just go to the Garden and watch a game.
I don't want that to happen to the Lakers.
I don't want just box office.
I want to win.
LA's always been that, though.
They've always had that guy.
But we're a winning organization, though.
I know, but they've always had that individual that's brought a lot of attention.
Of course, it's usually come from how they played.
But it translates into winning.
But D'Angelo Russell wasn't that Lonzo Ball could be that. I want all Knick fans to black out the 41 Garden games next year
in the event that James Dolan does something really stupid.
Yeah.
I've been saying that.
If they traded Porzingis like the reports were saying,
I'm not paying you no mind.
Okay.
He won't be a Knick next year.
Because you were telling me, and you were wrong,
you were telling me that after this year, he's a free agent.
That's not true.
It's the next two years.
It's this year and the next year.
And for me, that changes things because Phil is done at that time too.
So if Phil is getting the fuck out of here,
then I think that changes things with Porzingis.
After this year, they can match.
And they're matching.
You know they're matching.
Come on.
You think that Porzingis will be a Nick this season?
I absolutely think he will be. This season? Yeahingas will be a Nick this season I absolutely think he will be this season
yeah
he'll be a Nick this season
100%
he's a Nick the next two seasons
anything they would've done
would've been before the draft
the next two seasons
he's a Nick
after that
no idea
and it's really gonna hurt my heart
when he leaves
cause that nigga really is a unicorn
um
did we cover everything
I think so
cause I gotta get the fuck out of Dodge
I'm on Philly radio
all week this week
all week
being today
tomorrow and Friday
for y'all.
But yeah we're going
to have a good time
out there.

No, I don't think I've said that once, if you rewind the tape.
Oh.
All right, fine.

That's Devin the Dude, Are You Going My Way, off Acoustic Levitation.
That whole album is of that type of music.
Oh, so I'm going to buy it because that was really enjoyable.
I feel like Devin the Dude has been making enjoyable music my whole life.
I'm a huge Devin the Dude fan.
This is already one of my favorite albums of his.
I'm going to play a song by Tank just because I keep playing this song
and I feel like when Tank drops
new music, I'm the only one that knows.
Tank is great, too.
He is great, but when he drops
these Lucy type of tracks, he don't really
care who catch it or not.
He just put it out and go
on about his business. So this is called When We
and this is
not off anything.
I just bumped into it
because I'm a Tank fan.
When we
I like it when you lose it
I like it when you go there I like it when you go there
I like the way you use it I like that you don't play fair
