Let's count the bars about me versus the bars about y'all.
I will.
Is this another W freestyle?
It's not really about me, but now I can see where that gentleman was coming from now that I'm listening to y'all.
Honestly.
So y'all can play
around with your cut cast. What did you
call it? The cut cast. Whatever you said.
I'm not even listening to what you're saying. But while y'all
make that joke, just have the same
enthusiasm when it comes to those bars

right. They hit the head tops.
Real MC Tings.
Bars.

This is Cudi influence.
Cudi got some fire
angry R&B.

No, I just wanted to listen to the Cuddy.
We're trying to show you the family tree of things.
The DNA.
This is Party Next Door.
This is Cuddy Next Door.
One of the biggest acts in the world's act.
And who's his father?
Actually, I don't even feel like I want to hear y'all voice over parties.
So what'd y'all say?
No, no, go ahead, play.
Oh, okay.
I want to hear Cuddy's voice over that beat right there, actually.
He did this 10 years prior.

Tell the people your little inside joke that you guys are going to continue for the next three hours.
I've been saying on this podcast for years that Cudi is the reason for how music sounds now.
Let's get to the real shit, man.
Who's an atheist?

Former Israeli space security chief

How you was able to say
extraterrestrials but not Israeli?
Because, Maul, I'm an American.
Okay.
My bad.
These colors don't run.
Oh, my God.
These colors don't run.
Your man knew about it the whole time, Maul.
Of course aliens exist.
Who doesn't think that aliens exist?
No, but they're here.
They're chilling.
Actually, I think you owe Parks, Joe, myself, and I think the rest of the
room an apology. Yeah, that's true. You are not going to
storm Area 51 with us when we brought it up.
What was that, six months ago? Yeah.
I wasn't going either.
It was the WikiLeaks guy that said they don't exist.
He was doing all his hacking
and couldn't find no aliens. But Wikipedia, you
can do that on your own. Yeah, that's true.
No, aliens exist. Yeah.
Aliens exist. And they said that
we're just not ready for them.
Do you guys believe in portals?
Portals?
Like, do you believe
there's like hidden portals
in the world
that take you
other places
and other dimensions?
I do.
I'm a little,
I'm not saying it's impossible,
but I'm not sold on that.
I do.
You ever been to
Broadway Junction?
It's a weird.
Broadway Junction?
Yes, I have.
There's a portal
under the hood.
What was that shit called back in the day
when the dude traveled through time
and went into alternate universes as a different guy?
Back to the Future?
No.
Fuck it, carry on.
There was a real story of,

Light weight Cabo on them Mexico's a little idea, but I don't know about Mexico. Lightweight Cabo on them?
Mexico is a little tricky right now.
Has anything altered about
you guys' New Year's Eve plans

I was still down
with the orgy in Miami.
You sold?
You ain't looking.
No else at all?
Copy style, everyone on Reddit.
Joking.
Yeah, no plans other than
what we talked about.
And that wasn't tentative plans
Those weren't like
Concrete plans
Probably get drunk with my friends
That's always a good idea
Yeah
They closed indoor dining again so
I hate to be this guy
But
Boy do I feel the depression
In New York
Since I got back from Miami
Gotta take you back bro
Don't do that Corey
Don't laugh at me
You feel it
Cause everywhere else
It feels like people are out living
But you don't feel it When you are in it and don't leave it and you're conditioned
and you're here and it's only because when you got back from miami kid cuddy dropped
damn i didn't even think about it like that for us he was waiting for joe
that wasn't a joke joe he was waiting for joe depression is serious
they're gonna drag this kid cuddy thing absolutely i listened to the first
five and i like the she knows this that's probably my favorite out of the first five that i heard
she knows this was a good record internet i have nothing to offer pussy about this particular body
of work it is a body of work. I have no critique,
analyzation.
None?
I got nothing for you, man.
You mean like she knows this?
I see you bopping a little bit.
Didn't get a chance to really digest it.
Okay.
Here, here. Ah, one of those.
Didn't let it,
you know what I mean?
I got to sit with you.
Al just dropped.
Al just dropped, you guys.
It did just drop.
Come on, I can't come in here and-
When did you press play on the album, Joe?
In 12.01, I think.
I mean, if my recollection is right, I'm pretty sure that was 12.01, Cutty Nation.
Yeah.
Cutty Nation.
It was one after when you pressed play?
You an asshole.
I was waiting by the phone.
Yeah, I know.
True, me too.
Me too. And then you felt like
Wow now I understand
Where everyone got
Their style from
Right
I mean it's too early
It just dropped y'all
It did
It just came out
It did
That's what I told y'all
I heard the first time
Yeah we gotta give
Come on we gotta give
Our legends a fair shake
I heard Jack Harlow
I like Jack Harlow
I really enjoy Cuddy's
You've had no opinion
On this album at all
Gotta give our legends A fair shake man Can't just You can't be One of the music I like Jack Harlow. I really enjoy Cody's album. You've had no opinion on this album at all.
Got to give our legends a fair shake, man.
You can't be one of the music journalists that just rush out to have a take or an opinion
on something.
Sometimes you got to let things sit.
You bought it.
That's where I am now going on seven years of podcasting dominance.
You bought the album, right, because you support music.
I am.
I mean, quick seven.
You was there for some of that
you was there
you joined me
on the journey
if you're going to put on
some like melodic shit
I mean
Park's been there
I ain't even got a question
you didn't know about it
but why you ain't
hit the album though
he heard it
you had mad time
to hit the album
Cudi's shaking in his boot
got him shaking in his boots
did y'all hear it
y'all liked it
I listened to it
I liked it
especially the first half the second half got back into liked it? I listened to it. I liked it. Especially the first half.
The second half got back into his more spacey vibes,
which I get it, but it's not as much for me.
The first half sounded like early Cuddy to me.
I enjoyed it.
You did?
I enjoyed it, yes.
And I liked the spacey part.
I'm not big on the spacey part.
That's what we call it, the spacey part?
I like the spacey shit, but make it a bop, though,
which was the first half of the album.
No, I can appreciate that someone has been this sad for this long.
That's difficult.
That's difficult.
That's what you're late to.
You got to think about it.
Most artists, they'll be sad, and then they'll come in and it's like,
wow, I'm happy now.
I finally figured out who I am, and I no longer have those feelings,
and now let's talk about mental health.
No, he's still full-fledged depressed.
But, Hal, look at the titles of the tracks.
Beautiful Trip, Tequila Shots.
Joe could never.
Another Day.
That just sounds like a great title.
How are you depressed?
She knows this.
She always knows this.
Then you dive.
But then I'm damaged.
Then you get damaged.
Yeah, then it's heaven on earth.
Yeah, he jumped in the shallow end.
Oh, sad people.
That's the way it takes a turn.
September 16th is when she dumped him.
Joe's so mad he's not Mr. Solo Dolo.
Yeah, that's a fact
For the third time
But the first five
I like
She knows this
Out of the first five
I like the first five
I'm listening to it
I like a lot of the first
First half
I'm listening to it this weekend
But a lot of music came out though
Is it still on your phone
From when you purchased it
What is it about Cudi
That doesn't speak to your soul
That Joe speaks it
Yeah what is it Not This album Aside doesn't speak to your soul? That Joe speaks it?
Yeah, what is it?
Not this album aside.
I didn't say anything.
No, no, no.
In the past.
I purposely didn't say a thing.
No, no, no. In the past, you've spoken about you don't really vibe with Cudi's music like that.
Can we pull it out?
When I said that?
No, you can't pull it.
You said it.
I'm not going to say you said something that you didn't say.
I don't recall, man.
Oh, okay.
But you seem like you don't really vibe with his music. I don't recall. Okay. All right. I'm going to listen said it. I'm not going to say you said something that you didn't say. Don't recall, man. Oh, okay. But you seem like you don't really bother with the music.
I don't recall.
Okay.
All right.
I'm going to listen to it.
I'm going to give it a shot because I like Cudi, so I'm going to give it a shot.
Same.
I'm not as big a Cudi fan as some people are, but I'll listen to it.
I love his first album.
The stuff in between, not so much, but I enjoy this.
Yeah, man.
For me, it's just the right timing for Cud, man.
Well, I mean, there's validity to that.
I hate you so much.
Tell us about the right timing.
That's what it is for you.
You don't play Cuddy every time.
You're not going to the gym and playing Cuddy.
You're going for a peppy run.
Now, you know, Joe is just sad, and when he hears somebody else sad, he gets mad.
Yeah.
Yo, I just want to be clear.
You get mad at the sad.
Because y'all are going to get the Cud Hive to attack me,
and Joe hasn't said a word other than I got to check it out.
Why are you scared of the Cud Hive?
I'm scared of all the Hives parts.
I am too.
Some of the Hives are cool.
Some of the Hives are cool.
I don't want smoke with any of the Hives,
but are you guys done with your detailed Kid Cudi?
If no one else wants to talk about it, I guess so.
Album deep dives?
Well, like I said, I only heard the first five.
I was expecting Rory
To really come in here
And give it up
He seems like a good guy
Especially like
Almanier
Yeah but now he's trying
To downplay it
You know
Already?
You calling it?
Yeah I mean
Before I even heard it
Yeah
Yeah
Almanier
I'll get into the album
This weekend
Okay
But there's a lot of new music too.
There is.
There is.
This album I love.
Jack Harlow?
Yeah.
Sounds good.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Yeah.
I like it too.
Sounds real good.
I like Jungle Lil Baby.
He also trash.
Why?
Nope.
Because we not shitting on it?
You don't like Jack Harlow's album?
Did you hear it?
I didn't hear this one.
Oh, you didn't hear this one either?
Damn, you don't be hearing nothing.
I'm not going to either.
Why?
Why is that?
Because I have better things to do with my time in a pandemic.
Than listen to music?
Yep.
It's actually like the perfect thing to do in a pandemic.
Fly something out?
No, they want to tell me what to do in a pandemic.
Can y'all talk about Jack Harlow, please?
Oh, I like it.
It sounds just, like I said, I only listened to this one time, but it sounds good.
I thought he'd be super poppy, but he got him some pockets.
Harry Frog got a dope beat.
I thought his production was dope.
He's on two huge pop
singles right now.
I know what I'm saying. His music
isn't really... I've never listened to the rest of his music.
Don't jump into white-on-white crime.
Don't jump in. This is white-on-white
crime? White-on-white music debates.
White-on-white music?
I mean, he's no M.
Is he better than g easy
no album is good i with the album i with jack harlow every album that came out is good man no i wouldn't say that well i'm just talking about this week what came out that was bad
which which album didn't you like joe i just said every album that came out this week was good.
But you can't say that because you didn't hear every album.
And I can still say it.
All right, well, Jack Hall has a good album, though.
Sounds good.
Production is good.
He talking his shit on there.
I like it.
Yeah.
Shout out to Brady.
He got one on there.
I think Ye Ali wrote something on there with Chris Brown and Jack, too.
So shout out to Ye Ali.
I like that record.
Yeah.
He put out a project, Private Suite Suite 3 I didn't hear this one yet
shout out to everyone
in the industry
we have relationships with
I have no relationship
with Jack
I have no relationship
with Jack Harlow
I didn't say nothing
I didn't say a word
I don't know
I don't know Yael
I was an artist in person
so yeah sure
you got me there
no Yael is my nigga
but I didn't hear
I didn't hear the project yet
but I will check it out though
okay somehow Fetty snuck another album out and no one seems to know about it Yeah, I'll leave it to my nigga, but I didn't hear the project yet. But I will check it out, though. Okay.
Somehow, Fetty snuck another album out, and no one seems to know about it.
I had zero clue that Fetty was putting music out.
He's put out two projects this year, I think, and I don't think I've seen any human being talk about them.
And that's pretty crazy.
That's weird to me.
That's weird.
But why?
Why is it weird?
Fetty's run was what year?
I think,
what,
2015,
16,
somewhere in there?
Yeah,
15 would probably sound about right.
So it's been five years
since that
colossal run
that he had
of just covering Billboard
completely in like
10 fucking hits
in one year.
But yeah,
it hasn't been that way for,
I still feel bad about that.
I do.
Yeah,
me too.
A lot of the music that is popping now
and a lot of these artists that are popping now
are offsprings of Fetty.
And Kid Cudi.
I was saying it in the moment,
and boy, did I sound like the biggest nuthead hater
in the world in the moment.
It was a weird strategy.
But I was like, yo.
Oh, when they emptied the clip?
Yeah.
You didn't need to do that. But if you just get back to that time and music i sounded like the biggest hater in the world
joe well i mean streaming had started to completely take over at that time if you had
eight records right that you thought was that shit. And they were.
And you were right.
No way on God's green earth
are you putting all of those records out in a year.
I don't know.
Let me not say,
I don't know how somebody at 300 convinced him to do that
or did it without him really knowing what was going on.
But boy, did they rob him of an opportunity.
Well, I think a lot of those cases,
they were records that he was releasing just on SoundCloud
before he was even affiliated with 300. I'm not going to totally put this on 300 because I feel like Fetty put a lot of those cases, they were records that he was releasing just on SoundCloud before he was even affiliated with 300.
I'm not going to totally put this on 300 because I feel like Fetty put a lot of those out by himself.
Yeah.
Nah.
Not a lot of them.
A good majority of how many were on?
Yo, I hate doing this, but go to his IG.
Let me see the stream.
You know how they put their little numbers up for the year?
Oh.
He probably still.
They put their little numbers up. Look at you Oh. He probably still. They put their little numbers up.
Look at you.
No, but that's pretty good numbers.
Yeah.
319 million streams.
It's insane.
Yo, when actually now that y'all bring this up, when I think about the decade in review,
because I always go to that House of Balloons Take Care
era
what was that
2011
2010 to 2012
the Fetty era
is pretty high for me
yeah
he had a fucking run
yeah but I never
we never mentioned it
let's define an era
but we know the run
but that moment in time
encapsulated in hip hop
it was a year
meant a lot
it meant a lot for me
well my girl's from
patterson she like saw his ascension and shit and like his friends with his friends and all that
kind of thing so like maybe it's a bad judge but she still plays that music and i still like this
shit was banging like this was a hit record you know what it's similar to to me like it's kind
of similar to a boogie okay i can see that see that. Yeah, like A Boogie from the Bronx.
People saw him.
They saw the SoundCloud.
Stop it.
Go out of here.
No disrespect to A Boogie, but stop it.
No, I'm just saying it's similar.
He would die for one of those.
No, what I'm saying is in terms of...
He's had some big records.
And he's had a longer career.
He has not.
He has not had a track career.
I think Fetty would die for the A Boogie career.
No, no.
I'm just talking about...
I don't know that.
As far as just coming from SoundCloud and slowing up like that.
Sound-wise, to me, DaBaby would also be a correlation that I could make
because of the fact that Fetty's stuff was kind of more major key,
happy, bop sounding.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
No, I get that correlation for sure.
So you think, because I feel like Fetty now,
a lot of times artists will have this crazy year
and then the sound of music will change
and they'll no longer be relevant
because they don't make that sound of music.
Fetty now, all of the Trap Queen,
679, My Way, all in 2020 could live
and it would sound perfectly fine.
Do you think because he had to sustain
the amount of hits that he did at one time
is why he started to fizzle?
I found the perfect way.
Because this sound of music works now.
I'm going to reply to you.
I'm sorry, camera people.
That's my stomach.
I'm going to reply to that,
and I think I found the perfect way
to explain some of my issue with both
Fetty and Cuddy.
And that is that in this microwave era.
And before I say this point,
let me just say that being a fucking music critiquer or whatever you call
this shit,
boy,
is it a tough,
tough,
tough job in 2020?
Like it is.
It is. And I don't think that conversation has had enough either which is sensitive so much yeah it's a lot of music comes
out you can't hear it all the artists are sensitive well that's always there's only but so many
platforms that can and will discuss your shit like it's a tough time and this year particularly
has been difficult because and there hasn't been a lot of blockbuster
kind of releases.
A lot of good music, but no Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Beyonce, Jay.
None of the super duper duper duper stars put out music this year.
So it's been a weird year musically.
Yeah, the year's been dead.
I've been wanting to tell these fucks that tell me that we fell off.
I'm like, fam, no, y'all fell off.
The year's been trash.
It's dead. Podcasting is like a reactive type of thing yeah sometimes but listen back to my point
and i should in this in this microwave in this microwave era the part that never dawned on me
was now you only you get an even even more of a limited amount of time with your sound as opposed to back in the day where maybe you
would have had a longer run with your sound and style people catch up a lot quicker a lot
they fast they fast and and for me when that happens you have to guard against it yeah like
it's great to inspire and it's great for people to it's great to do that but you have to guard against it. Yeah. Like it's great to inspire and it's great for people to,
it's great to do that,
but you have to be prepared to take your sound and elevate it.
For sure.
I think of that a lot in terms of us with the podcast,
like in February,
we'll be going on seven years after our six year anniversary.
And it's like,
okay,
we've been doing this for X amount of time and we've been the best for x amount of time
that's not enough how do you improve on being the best for sure grow change or your style or
your sound and for me both of these gentlemen for different reasons seem to have let that get away
from them in this microwave ever. Because Rory's right.
The sound is still there.
Yeah.
How they are producing their sound may indeed still be the same.
It just don't sound the same for me today.
I felt Cudi's album, he kind of tapped into more current sonics.
At least on the first half.
From what I heard, I agree.
I felt like Cudi not went,
I can't say went
in the Travis Scott lane
because so much of
who Travis Scott is
as an artist
is because of Cudi.
I felt like he went
more in what his sound
has developed into.
But that's you,
in my opinion,
in your backpack bag.
How so?
Because you're right about that
if you get to the core of it.
But who's doing it better?
Oh, I mean, I think there's been plenty of artists you can say have taken a style and done it better than the person prior to that.
Well, that's why I'm telling you what my position is.
Because I would feel like a fool to come in here and say the things that I've said about Jhene Aiko and her last project.
about Jhene Aiko and her last project.
That whole argument I made
about that family tree
and some of your...
Some of your sons and daughters
are doing it.
Yeah.
Like, if I'm going to say that
about that beautiful woman,
then I ain't going to not say it
when I feel it about Cudi, too.
And I do.
You know what's unfair about that?
I do.
I do.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Cud Hive.
I think that on this album he...
And maybe...
Go ahead.
Why is that unfair?
That's super unfair.
I disagree with that on this album.
Because the person going through the door first is trying to figure the sound out.
It's a brand new thing.
They don't know what's going to work about it.
They don't know what people are going to gravitate to more, what they can change in it because
they have no point of reference.
So when you have someone like Cudi
that creates this sound,
yeah, you have people like Ye and Travis
and shit, damn near the moody R&B now
to figure out what is good about it,
what they like about it,
what they can evolve in that sound,
change that sound,
they know what works with that sound.
Yeah, it's not fair to the person that started it.
They don't have the same point of reference
as the person that comes after.
So what?
So what?
It's unfair to say
why didn't you develop
the sound so much more.
I invented the fucking sound.
These people took it
and realized what was
good and bad about it
and developed it.
That's how music works.
That's how anything works.
That's how sports works.
Not true.
Not true.
I don't believe that
because you created something
you're exempt
from improving upon it.
No, that's not what I said.
That's not what I said.
That's exactly what you said.
That's not what I said.
You said he created it.
So what?
I'll say a quick sidebar to break up you guys
bickering about what you said.
Part of the issue with that,
the argument of developing a sound and creating it,
is everyone has the same tools now.
Like talking about how back in the day
you had a longer time with your own sound, everyone has access has the same tools now like talking about how back in the day you had a longer time with your own sound everyone has access to the same exact shit
same drum sounds same output uh synth sounds same auto-tune plugins that's part of the reason why
how you're gonna use it is what makes you a great artist yeah of course i mean everyone has pro
tools but how you agree and do what it's not supposed to do but there's a lot of people
there's a lot of people that just fall into the,
okay, this is what people are doing.
I'm going to do this.
I just think there's more of a luxury
to take from a proven sound
and develop it and change it and grow it
and take it to the next level
than the person that has to come in
with just ground level,
I'm inventing something completely new
that has not been proven.
Yes, I think it's easier as the next person
to develop that sound
and that's the point
of the next person
is to take it to the next level.
For sure.
You want everything
to keep growing and developing.
No, that's your job too
is what I'm saying.
I get what you're saying.
You pass the baton
and the next man
should be able to improve upon it.
Yeah.
But more importantly though
I do believe
it's your responsibility as well
to keep elevating. Yeah. Absolutely. But I do believe it's your responsibility as well.
To keep elevating.
Yeah.
Absolutely, but at the same time, that's what artistry is about.
Yo, let me just tell you niggas out there, and I'm sorry, I'm on the cut.
Let me tell you, hey, you rappers out there, all of you, if you put the Travis Scott ad lib in your song, I am going to think about Travis Scott.
Yeah.
What the fuck is difficult about that?
I don't think I'm the bad guy for that.
No, not at all.
And if you make me think about Travis Scott, the bar is high.
Yeah, you better be better.
So what do you want me to do, Parks?
I'm going to put the nigga on.
You know that, Adlib. I know exactly what you're talking about.
You know that.
I know that a couple times.
Anytime I am.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Whatever the fuck that is. Are you talking about C You know that. Anytime I am. Okay. Yeah. Whatever the fuck
that is. Are you talking about Cudi? I'm like, oh.
I get it.
I understand. So, I mean,
it's just tough. It's tough
for me. And I don't want
that to come out like hate. So, it
forces me to come in here and try to
suppress certain shit, even though people are coming
here to hear me talk about certain shit. But fuck
y'all, man man that's how I feel
I would like to talk
to Fetty Wap
we need to talk to him
I would like to
I would like to see what
happened
I need to know
I don't need to talk to him
I know exactly what happened
well you're an artist
so you can
I know exactly what happened
was it an artistry thing
or
yes
it was an artist
remember I came here
and told y'all
listen
pump it up flew and then they wanted me to
make another album, but no.
No.
And that was me at a much lower level than what was happening with Fetty.
Fetty started dating a lot.
He was out a lot.
He was traveling a lot.
He was partying a lot.
He was spending a lot.
I'm not counting nobody's money but i'm looking at
what someone is doing with their time and no he did what all of us do at that age after some
success we tricking off we out of here we're not the same amount of energy is not exhausted or
invested into our craft without speaking to fetty or knowing anybody involved with fetty that is
where i stand on fetty but i'm loyal to fetty because of what involved with Fetty that is where I stand
on Fetty
but I'm loyal to Fetty
because of what he did
and where he did it
from New Jersey
absolutely
Patterson
he killed man
yeah
it's just always
interesting
when you think about it
and like I said
I didn't even know
he was putting out a project
and was just talking about him
not even two days ago
and I was like
he put out another album
this year
that was pretty good
no I know
but I'm more so like he...
Because when he dropped, his sound...
Shook the building.
Yeah, and it's like you don't really...
And it was only two years?
Yeah, not even.
So it's just kind of like, as a music lover, you just start to ask about, yo, what happened?
I could be wrong, but I think that at one point, he was maybe getting away from some of the crew and producers that he was working with at first but i think that he's gone
back i saw people's name shout out to people's on the new album and i'm not sure if they've been
working back together for a long time or what wasn't there some internal shit between him and
there may have been yeah monty's on the new album though okay good yeah i heard they back like the
crew was kind of i don't know to what extent But I heard you know
Back fucking with
Day ones and all of that
I would just be curious
If there was like some
Business shit that happened
Maybe with the crew
Or maybe with the label
Or the industry
Or something
Because
He does still make good music
Where's the disconnect
Right
You know what I'm saying
I'm not saying that
He's gonna have another run
Like Trap Queen
They gave that man
A three to five million dollar
Publishing check After record three Uh huh No I'm not saying that he's going to have another run like Trap Queen. They gave that man a $3 to $5 million publishing check after Record 3.
No, I'm not going to the studio.
No, don't send me a beat.
I'm out of here.
I'm gone.
He didn't even do a lot of features, if I recall, either.
$3 million?
My year one, the year and a half ago, I was on SoundCloud?
Right.
It's all.
Whatever.
Yeah.
I mean, I understand.
I understood that when all the babies started popping.
I understood.
No doubt.
Yeah, but that's unfortunate because, you know, it was something really, really good there.
Jersey, we need another one.
They took Fetty from us.
They took Albie from us.
God damn it, Jersey.
Nah, Fetty's still
around, so I hope that he can find some footing
in... I'm going to definitely get into this album
this weekend, though. For sure. Yeah, no, man.
Fetty's not still on 300, is he?
I doubt it. I don't think so. I could be wrong.
I highly doubt it.
Damn. Bring back
the days when we were locked into the same label
for five projects.
No. Lab labels will drop you
quick now he is on 300 still yep and rgf 300 and rgf and this is why artists want to shoot up
labels allegedly allegedly allegedly of course no fetty can't get that again from 300 because
300 got too much going on and meg
there's a lot of other people getting that attention now see so it don't matter if fetty
can make those same exact records because they wouldn't get the same exact attention yeah that's
what that's kind of what i was getting at with i wonder if it's a business thing right on the label
side it's slash industry side because he could i think that he's still capable of making good music
from what I've heard
from the two albums
he put out this year.
They might not be
super smash hit records,
but it's good quality music.
We are so East Coast.
We spent 20 minutes
on the new Fetty Wap album.
No,
we were talking about
that era
and how things have changed.
Much deeper conversation.
I know,
slid right over Travis Scott.
Did Travis Scott
drop something?
No,
no,
no.
Joe's a dick.
Did he?
Don't want to say dick.
No.
No.
No, he didn't.
Him and Post were quiet.
Oh, okay.
Tyler, the creator.
It's a few niggas that was just quiet.
I mean.
Joe, you are such an asshole.
Fact.
38 Special.
Frank Ocean was quiet, right? Yeah, he. In fact, Frank Ocean was quiet, right?
Yeah, he was quiet.
Frank?
Frank was quiet, right?
Frank's been quiet for a while.
To your point of saying
getting a three to five million
for a publishing check,
you'd be like,
nah, fuck that.
I'm not going to the studio.
I'm not doing none of that, right?
So if Cudi has a core fan base
that is over 100,000
every single time I go out,
why am I going to change my sound? But that's where C that's what that's what cody is i'm not saying right or
wrong i'm just a hypothetical thing taking it back to something i replied to 10 minutes ago so i'll
repeat myself just because you are the creator of a sound it's not the point does not mean that you
are not responsible for changing it also you're missing my point i'm saying if your core fanbase
just wants to hear this
from you, and I know I'm guaranteed
this amount of people every single time I
go out, this amount of money every single time I go out,
the fuck I'm changing shit for?
Just a hypothetical question I'm asking.
Alright, great. I like it.
There's so many artists that have done
incremental
adjustments
where they're not doing a whole set like how Drake changes or Kanye
changes like now I'm doing an EDM
album. Now I'm doing a whatever
world music
album like Drake does. There's artists that have
gradually just, they've stayed
consistent and they've stayed with their sound, but
tweaked the way they chop the sample
or perform the vocal
where it's an evolution. It doesn't feel like you're
stagnant
doing the same exact thing.
Well, sure.
That's what makes Kanye one of the greatest
because every album didn't sound the same
up until the past two.
I was saying, he does huge whole scale.
This one's all synthesizers.
This one is Jesus.
This is a rock album.
Kanye changes his entire life.
And then on top of that,
what does success look like for the other 95% of artists?
Because I don't want us to do this with Kanye
and Drake and Cole.
The rest of us
that are not on that
in that rarefied air
to another planet up there. What does
success look like today
in a pandemic with touring
dead like? I don't know.
Probably what we just said. You come out, you do
your consistent 100,000
that's very successful
yeah Cudi has
a core that is
it's a large core
that sounds great
if I'm independent
if I'm on a label
and the splits
are a little different
what does that
really do for me
yeah
I'm asking
and even if you're
independent like
you need
some supplemental
shit to go with
that 100,000
if I were independently
recording right this second
and relied on music to pay my bills,
there would be four projects in a year.
Yeah.
Even if they did 100,000 each
and you would have to have a fire merch game.
If they did 40,000 a piece,
I still make 1,500 a month from Rage.
If they did 40,000 a piece,
all of them,
I'm just saying just to get by through the year.
Everybody don't have the fire merch.
Everybody didn't have the fire merch.
Everybody didn't have the fire tour games.
Some of you niggas lying,
oh, we can't perform.
Nigga, you wasn't
performing before.
It was quiet.
You wasn't on no circuit.
I'm sick of some
of these niggas, man.
I'm just saying,
it's a lot to account for
out there.
You put 30 people
in SOBs.
That was your New York show.
There's a separate
conversation about how
the mega festivals were inflating a lot of people's tour shit but that's a whole deeper
yes that's a deeper but that's my other thing about critiquing music during a pandemic pandemic
pandemic whatever you want to call it it's like i there's not one musician out there that i want
to lend my voice to interrupting their flow right now.
I just don't think it's the time for that.
Like, even if, nigga, so what if you put out a bad album?
Hey, I was killing Paul George for his play in the bubble, but I get it if you're depressed
and you're away from pussy and everything.
And you got the badge as a result.
We're going to talk about that.
We're going to talk about that. They paid that man we're gonna talk about but what i'm saying
is what honestly so why doesn't cuddy get a pass for being depressed and not changing his sound
the fuck paul george not cuddy and i don't even like that point of him saying uh the creator
doesn't get any type of pass for that they're so do you feel that way about all early hip-hop
artists for not changing their sound even though they created the blueprint for what we use now?
Well, no, you interrupted me, but I was about to say, no, I'm not judging these niggas for putting out the mediocre albums during a pandemic when who knows where your engineer is, how you getting beats, who knows how involved your label is, how much money they giving you.
They putting all the onus and responsibility on the artist we gotta pay for everything now off the top you get 10 grand let's listen it's fucked up
out there it's real it's fucked up ideas so it puts me in a in an odd spot to come on here and
tell you what i think of music when truth be told i'm not listening to music that's how i am handling
you listen to old music no joe listen you listen to the music from the
people that make good music no listen it's my job to hear to hear things it's my job to hear things
but in terms of me listening to an album I gotta find the time in the house I gotta find the time
to get to the show I like yeah I gotta find the time to put the phone down like I just gotta find
the time now I don't know how the world got to that but that's. I got to find the time to put the phone down. Like, I just got to find the time now.
I don't know how the world
got to that,
but that's where I am.
Me, who loves music
like nothing else in this world,
I don't seem to have time
to listen to it.
We made this point
not too long ago
that now with shit
being like it is,
we run into what's familiar.
Like, I don't have time
to sort out and figure out
if you good or not in music
as a new artist.
I don't.
I'm with you on that.
I'm going to my people.
Rory coming here
and playing Jasmine Sullivan's Sleeper, guess what? I'm buying it. Hey, I like her. I like her. I don't. I'm with you on that. I'm going to my people. Rory coming in and playing Jasmine Sullivan's Sleeper.
Guess what?
I'm buying it.
Hey, I like her.
I like her.
I know her.
I enjoy her.
That's it.
These new niggas, I don't know.
Quanto Rondo canceling shows.
I ain't heard a song.
I don't know nothing.
That's what Rory's for in my life.
But he grew up, so now he don't tell me nothing either.
I have no idea what Quanto Rondo is.
That's my thing.
See?
See?
See?
No, I understand what you mean, but it's also-
It's rough, man.
It's rough.
You just don't trust a lot of these new acts.
I think that's what it is.
I don't trust the music business because I see all y'all shifting away from music.
Yeah.
The business.
Yeah.
Not the artists.
Unfortunately, we'd be the last ones to know some shit.
But they moving and shaking behind the scenes.
December right before Christmas.
Don't let them tell you
the industry locked down shit.
Niggas is moving
and I know it.
Can't tell you guys.
Can't tell you guys.
But niggas is,
I've been saying it for a year,
they lining up.
They lining up.
Chess, they moving around.
They setting up
for the next five years.
I don't know how that looks,
but it don't look
the greatest for artists.
Yeah.
That's sad, but it's the truth it's the truth
not not with the label system yeah and he want me to sit on the fucking shitty chatty house these
aspiring musicians that that want to get somewhere and love the craft i empathize because i remember
being a hey joe what should i do what's the nigga i don't know i hate this shit i can't tell you
what i'm gonna look like handing off some jaded
information i wouldn't know how to function in this shit today this shit is a mess it is it is
but the answer is work and keep working and figure do everything try everything on your masters
if you can if you can all of this shit is a fucking someone gives you a good a good situation
all this shit is a one in a 500 chance
of hitting a home run 500 feet out of park.
Facts.
Own your masters.
Or you could be the guy that gets a base hit
every single time, and that's okay, too.
Own your masters.
Pray that they become valuable one day,
because that's the part of the industry
you don't tell your oldies.
They go, oh, own your masters, own your masters.
Some of your niggas' masters ain't worth nothing.
Facts.
Have a blast.
Have a blast have a blast
with your ownership
and I would say
don't pray they
become worth something
make them worth something
yeah make them
worth something
and then
sell it
and hopefully
it affects the market
here somehow
ta-da
ta-da
there you go
well
that's the other thing
with these fucking
lying misleading words.
I got a long list of shit in 2021 that need to stop.
If I hear another one of you niggas tell me you got a partnership,
nobody wants to say it.
I've waited a year and a half for somebody to question it.
Niggas don't be having a partnership?
No, they ain't got no fucking partnership.
They're signed.
No, they be having partnership.
I know.
You partnered on the deal
though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, partner in the payment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, since you a partner,
you want to partner
in something.
I'm the prophet.
All right, what else came out?
38 Spesh.
38 Spesh.
38 Spesh.
38 Spesh.
Change the game again.
Again. Especially in Green Lantern

1995

EP or album

he has an album coming out
I think next week
Interstate 38
which is phenomenal
38 Spesh
I feel connected to you
because of the instrumentals
that you picked on this album.
I'll be honest with you.
You picked 10 of my favorite.
I have many of my favorite
beats of all time.
And it rhymed like
murderous drug dealer talk on it.
There's no way for me
to not like this.
Set up to like this.
This is great.
All I'm saying is,
wow,
now we can sell 16s and 24s
over our favorite beats?
Is that what they're saying?
Is that what they're...
You're doing the roaring thing now.
This is not though.
That's a joke thing.
Yeah.
But shout out to 38 Spesh.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I fuck with him.
He's had a great year
for a production standpoint.
God damn it it 38 Spesh
His album that's coming out
I think it's
Like I said
Next week or the week after
Is phenomenal
This is kind of just like
The warm up for it
Yeah he's one of the
He's one of the rappers
That I listen to a lot
And I'm like
He's
People are gonna start
Paying him some attention
Real real soon
Yeah
No they already are
He's building
But I mean like
On a different level
Yeah
You know what I mean
Like he's gonna start
Becoming a
Yo how do you build now Teach me No, they already are. He's building. But I mean like on a different level. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like he's going to start becoming a-
Yo, how do you build now?
Teach me.
Tell me about all this shit that has just gotten lost in the current-
How do you what build?
How do you build now?
Consistency, man.
Consistency is always key.
Staying consistent.
All right, well, give me what else is key.
Being good, for starters.
Special comes from our era, so he's got a little bit of a cheat code.
I think doing good business.
That's huge.
I'm naming all the shit niggas can't do.
Niggas are doing that good business.
Niggas are doing it.
Niggas that are successful are doing it.
You know what, Joe?
I'll give you one.
Get fucking lucky.
It's a little bit of luck.
Part of being good is being lucky. Yeah. Part of being good is being lucky.
Yeah.
Part of being good is being able to execute on the luck, unfortunately, that comes your way.
Take the opportunities and know what to do with the opportunities.
I'm just saying pure luck is involved in being good.
Oh, no, no.
But if the luck happens and you're not ready for it.
Hey, I just told Ian that right before I got here.
I said, hey,
for one person to make
$20 million,
a lot has to go right.
Absolutely.
I thought that broke.
Good business.
And I'm going to think that
when I get $20 million.
Good business.
Hey, a lot is going right
for that to occur.
Good business.
Shit ton.
Good business.
Good business.
Consistency.
Good talent.
Consistency. Hard work. And luck. And a. Consistency. Good talent. Consistency.
Hard work.
And luck.
And a little bit of luck.
And luck.
But be able to execute
when that luck comes through.
And also,
just working on
whatever it is
that you're trying to do.
Always try to get better
at what you're doing.
You know what I mean?
You can be a dope rapper,
but start to work
on your hooks more.
All right,
so give it to me right now.
I'm a new artist.
Let's walk through it.
God damn it.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I'm a brand new artist. Read the room. Know the climate. Know what's going on in the world. I'm a new artist. Let's walk through it. God damn it. Fuck it. Let's do it. I'm a brand new artist.
Read the room.
Know the climate.
Know what's going on in the world.
I went to the studio.
I made something that me
and every nigga in my hood
feels like it's a go.
I haven't played this for,
I haven't played this for somebody
and they didn't tell me
it's a go.
I think that's a mistake though.
I think that's a mistake.
I'm reading faces.
Sometimes your hood be wrong.
I'm reading faces.
I'm just saying everybody heard this
and they got the nod in their head.
I was looking on the low.
I invited some girls over, caught with the Bible.
You know what a shit nigga do when you're testing a record?
Don't do that, bro.
No, wait.
You got to be careful, though, because a lot of people do get inflated sense of fire by
playing it for people-
That know them personally.
That know them personally, but in a way that is... There's an art to playing shit for
people and getting an honest response out of them.
Yeah.
Sneaking it in, like you said.
Have a playlist.
Talk with Knife on the app about playing your music for people.
Yeah.
And how, yeah, you may want a certain response from a certain person,
but they're not even into that type of genre.
So you're just going to get the, oh, no, it's cool,
but it just ain't for me type thing.
You have to know exactly what type of audience you want this music to be for, and that's
the type of people that you need an opinion from.
So now you want people to identify their audience.
Yes.
It is tough.
It is tough.
But listen, okay, I got this record.
I did what I had to do, let people hear it.
I think it's fire.
Today, what do I do?
What do I do with this record?
It's mixed. it's mastered I
don't know nobody at radio I don't have a relationship at the streamers
SoundCloud no everything my whole career making this record you want me to just
put it out on soundcloud and then get back in the studio and do another one make another one and don't put it on just soundcloud put it on every single thing that exists I can see why niggas don't listen to niggas with experience. I would never do that.
You gonna keep holding that record that's fire in the world
and they gonna hear it?
Until I get another one.
No, that's...
Oh, and that's...
You're talking to the person's talent now.
Well, I'm talented.
So, I mean, that's...
Okay, so...
If you're talented,
you have another one.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
All right, no, no.
I was talking about Joe Budden,
but no.
I'm the new artist guy now.
I ain't so fast
to relinquish my record.
People gotta hear you. got to hear you.
People got to hear you.
For free?
Absolutely.
Oh, you niggas would fail.
You niggas would fail.
Write a song.
You have to put it on free and sale.
You have to put it every fucking week.
You have to do everything.
And then what?
And then what?
And then what?
Because maybe y'all got a plan.
And then what?
All right, I put my shit on SoundCloud.
Now what?
I'm watching numbers.
Oh, fuck you.
First of all, it doesn't cost you money
to put it on somewhere where you will gain money.
It's a different,
it's not like when you were selling mixtapes.
No, just give it to them for free in time.
Put it out.
You can put it on any streaming service.
You don't just have to put it on SoundCloud
to make it free.
Stop holding this music.
Y'all are talking about a holder.
Don't listen to us.
No, listen.
If you have a song, if you nice, put the music out to the world. Do not listen to us. No, listen. If you have a song, do not listen to us.
Put the music out.
The world will let you know if you good.
Joey, you kind of just went over when I said identifying your audience.
I think that's a first step because how you market things, especially as a new artist,
you should start with a smaller group to go after.
That's how you build.
We use the word build.
You start with the small group.
I think this is for this specific type of person so let me identify that type of person and i can market this a little
bit better because i know what they like and how they take music in is it is visuals is this a
record that needs a visual to put out spoken like a marketing guy that's very difficult to do for
the average human being by the way especially there's so many records that I get to mix
from people
and they're like,
yo,
I want it to sound like
Drake.
It's like,
you know that you sound like
you've like,
but,
but that
it doesn't take a morning.
You sound like Travis Scott
and that's not the same,
you know,
whatever.
When Joe is saying that
in this hypothetical scenario
that everybody in his hood
liked it,
you have to,
for the people you're playing it for, you have to figure out that type of person
i don't know if this is a machine or a person this is the one and only man i didn't i didn't
get to any answer in service yet man this is buck steezy man buck stallion this is joe button and
friends from the joe button podcast in the middle of a very important conversation. How are you doing?
I'm doing great, man. Doing great.
Hey, Buck. What up, Buck?
In 2007, I came to you because you wrote a song that a lot of people thought was a really great song, right?
That is correct. That is correct true i attempted to purchase that song
from you right yes yes or at least tried to open the conversation to do so right
me that's correct me needing a single at the moment thinking i had the right amount of
momentum to amplify what was a really really really good record you as an
aspiring act with this record that you thought was a smack that a lot of people thought was a smash
smash smash opted to hold on to the record right yeah that's how it kind of ended there was a few intangibles there we don't care about that i'm
only speaking to why as a new artist with this record that a lot of people thought was a smash
i'm trying to talk to i asked them all and the fellas here hey if i'm a brand new artist and i
got a record that we all think is a smash what's the first thing i should do they said i should
put it on soundcloud or the streamers i playing devil's advocate said
well if i'm a new act with with this one smash i would never do that because i wouldn't want to
let my record go and that got me to thinking about you but in the long run you never put that record
out did you i never put it out that's what happens that's why you can't hold on to shit especially
this and that's and that is what happens yeah That's why you can't hold on to shit. Especially in this. And that is what happens.
Yeah.
There's a lot of-
Put the fucking music out.
I hate when niggas have a record and everybody loves it.
Nah, I don't really know what I want to do.
Put the fucking music out, man.
You can blow it by putting it out too early without-
There's many ways of looking at that.
Sometimes when you get a-
A golden egg is a golden egg because it's made of gold and sometimes you just don't get another golden egg.
So if you just like if we want to reference Joe, right, and we look at a record such as Pump It Up, like we're being creative and putting our music.
Sometimes the reality of it is, is that sometimes you just cannot create another golden egg no matter how creative you
might think you are sometimes it just doesn't hit that way so like how pump it up was created
mind state i know even if it's wrong yeah he said right but that's what anything if you a
fucking little league baseball player you can't get a hit you're not on the fucking team anymore
and you know what's funny i said to buck back then you ain't got it you ain't
got it go try something else i said to buck back then about this record i said yo you're gonna
hold on to this record and the sound of music is gonna change and it's not gonna be the same
record anymore yeah and then that happened the sound changed but i only bring it up buck to tell you i think the sound is right back
yeah that sound from that record with tick tock and all this other dance crazy that's how this
shit works hey can i play some of that record you ain't doing that what the are you gonna do
the are you gonna do this ain't do nothing but collecting dust in your house all right listen
i don't even know where that right is. Yeah, you don't even
know the name of the record.
He's like,
yo, you got it?
Yo, you got it?
Yo, send it to me.
I said,
well, it took me
to the moon in 06.
Hey, Buck,
we love you, man.
I'll call you later.
Peace, Buck.
Yeah, I am gonna play
some of that record.
You have it?
Yeah, I have that.
Well, copyright it
in two minutes.
Copyright it where?
It's recorded.
It's copyrighted. Send it to yourself It's recorded. It's copyrighted.
Send it to yourself in the mail.
It's copyrighted.
Remember when they said
that was a copyright trick?
I am going to play
a little bit of this record.
Well, wait.
Before you play it,
Buck is my man.
I love him.
If it's trash,
can I say it's trash?
It ain't trash.
It's not what I asked you.
But wait, wait.
Time out.
Of course you can say it's trash
if it's trash.
But listen, remember,
this was in 06, 07.
Yeah, I know.
Do you have...
No, get your ears.
I know exactly what the sound was in 06 and 07. I know. No, get your ears.
I know exactly what the sound was in 06 and 07.
Yeah, absolutely.
Of course I remember that time.
Rory?
Absolutely.
All right.
Objectivity.
Absolutely.
I love it.
You've always looked for this to be your one.
Huh? You've always looked for one of these Bam!
You've always looked for one of these
As someone who's been there while you were looking
Man, this could work now
This could work now
Hold up
But forget about Buck for a minute, just listen
I know how to listen to a thing about you
The fans probably don't though
Girl, you turn me on Damn girl, you turn me on You not trying to turn me on I know how to do a demo. The fans probably don't though.
I ain't killing your arm. This shit is hard.
This is a very Jersey record. When I open up, you make me want to get my freak on. That's right. Make me think of things to sing.
Should do some things. It's a very Jersey record.
It's a very Jersey.
You'd have to.
I'm from Jersey.
No, no.
I'm just saying.
06 ears.
06 ears.
06 ears.
Girl, you turn me on.
On, on, on, on.
And demo ears.
Girl, you turn me on.
Listen to that like it's a reference.
Buck being your Quentin Miller is hilarious.
No, I get it.
It sounds good.
It sounds good.
I don't know if that would have worked for you, though.
In 06.
Shit.
Are you kidding me?
Listen to me.
If I get Buck voice or got Buck voice over this, I dig my.
But anyway, I only agree a couple of times.
A couple like that.
But no, you would have become a caricature of yourself.
That would have been bad in the long run.
Who?
Young Chris.
Okay.
Young Chris what?
Chris had a few.
I feel like that.
Joe had a record with Young Chris, I believe Frequency produced, that was kind of in that
lane.
That was a mid-2000s.
Spacey sound, 808.
But listen.
Trying to get a single sound.
If you hear what Buck said, that is the fear that most artists live with.
It's not that 5% that, no.
I've been talking about that as a producer.
I've held on to beats forever.
Like, oh, no, this one's got to have Ghostface on it.
It's got to have Nas on it.
What the fuck?
That's the dumbest shit in the fucking world.
Put that shit out.
You have to put the fucking music on.
Like you said, Joe, the sound changes.
The time changes.
The moment changes.
There's artists now who've recorded in January and want to put out their music because like you said, Joe, the sound changes, the time changes, the moment changes. There's artists now
who've recorded in January
and want to put out
their album in December
and they have to go back
and change that whole album
that they have recorded
in January
because it's already dated already.
It's not,
the year's not even over.
So you have to put the music,
you cannot sit on music
and just think that,
oh,
I'm going to wait.
Nah,
you're going to wait
and then that moment is gone
and now nobody even
want to hear that sound.
Now niggas are going to be
looking at you like
a nigga that just came home.
Plus, you can do it a fucking game.
That's the beautiful thing about art and being a creator is you can keep doing it.
I feel for artists right now.
Do it again.
I feel like so many artists have sat on their music in 2020 because they didn't want to put it out with the fear of the uncertainty of how it would be.
Up and coming artists?
Now this, I kind of disagree.
I might be with them on this.
You know, I actually agree with this take.
Established artist or?
You're either going to hold your album or over-release music.
I would roll with over-releasing.
I didn't finish.
I was saying I feel for them because they may have created.
Let's just move.
It's frustrating, I know.
I'm a kid.
I know.
It's fine.
And I'm in a bad mood today.
I feel for them because if they created something in January of 2020 thinking they were going
to put it out in June of 2020, they've been listening to the same record over and over.
And it may be an amazing record, but to them, it feels dated and they won't put it out in
2021 when it is time for them to release music.
So a lot of artists, I think, are going to be sitting on really good music and they'll
be sick of it. So they won't want to put it out that happens to artists a lot where
they they have something that may even be more than six months old it might be six years old
and they're like nah we can't do that this is old it's like no one else is not old to nobody else
right as long as it doesn't have like a uh timely you were chasing the super auto-tune vocal you
know in 2009 or you're not talking about trendy shit.
Or the snare drum.
You know what I mean?
There's certain shit that super dates a record.
Yeah.
Or super topical.
Yeah, if you're talking about super topical.
Punch lines that are like shit.
While we're in our music geeky bag.
This is nerdy.
I'm not mad at it on a Saturday, though.
I'm not mad at it.
I love nerd music.
While we're in this music geeky bag,
I have a few very short, brief announcements
for anyone that needs to hear them.
Damn, just that fast.
I thought this was going to be an announcement
of us making a diss track back for the Redditors.
I don't even know if I want to give light to that.
Even though he killed us.
Damn, what was y'all just talking about?
I had two really good important points.
Dated music.
Yeah, putting out music,
being scared to put it out
because it feels dated.
Oh, got it.
Buck Stallion being a hilarious name.
Two very quick...
Why you should have gave me that record?
Two very quick short announcements
for anyone who needs to hear this.
Wait, hold on.
Meg bit from Buck?
Buck the Stallion?
He is Buck the Stallion.
That's nasty.
Buck the. He was Buck Stallion. I know,
but that's, come on. And now here come Meg stealing his sauce.
And be talking about how she turned on.
Announcement number one. And he was the first
Stallion to get turned on.
Announcement number one
to anybody that needs to hear this.
Contracts are changing what if you don't know it you're somewhere you shouldn't be
hey i only know because i've seen a few and I can read them.
So I'm only pointing this out because Kanye said
whatever he said about the contracts
and contracts be fucking
all you niggas up
and none of us have ever seen
a legible contract.
I'm here to tell you
in the next few years
you should see shorter form
legible contracts.
Hit a round of applause for me. Well, you think that's happening?
It is happening. Oh, it's happening. It's starting to happen.
This is the very beginning. Very beginning. Very beginning. Normalize that.
Normalize that. That's one. Right. And two, really quick.
These seem like very obvious announcements, but for whoever needs to hear it, clout is not currency.
Repeat it with me. Clout is not currency. One more time for the road.
Clout is not currency. I see. Listen, when they say clout, because y'all fool me with the slang shit y'all be doing
like the gen zers and the kids y'all say clout and we think of clout chasing and we just think
of niggas seeking attention and trying to get cool but wait no it's the reinvention of the look
this is the re-emergence of doing something off the strength and for the look and for some of
you niggas affiliations and relationships are very important.
But y'all need to separate when to go that route and when to go this route.
And it's really pissing me off you A&Rs on that chatty house, some of you.
I'm glad I'm not going to happen anymore because I feel like those people are disgusting.
You niggas are fucking liars preying on the hopes and dreams of aspiring artists.
You fucking deadbeats.
One day I'm going to walk in there
and question y'all about
what the fuck you've A&R'd.
I'm bumping into A&Rs
who don't know what A&R stands for.
I'm bumping into A&Rs
who from morning to night
are telling me about what nigga,
are you in the office or nah?
Are you at work?
Did Craig Kalman call? Are you at work? Did Craig Kalman call?
Are you on salary?
Nigga, is your contract about up?
Who's the last guy you brought in here?
Like, tell the truth.
If A&R now, and I'm off on a tangent from clout being currency,
but if A&R now means, hey, just go to Twitter and Instagram
and check who
has the highest followers and then try to offer them some money you niggas are trash by pseudo
that's it well it should be you have to do a little bit of that like as someone who looks
for up-and-coming artists one of them niggas was in there one of them niggas was in there and ran
into the nigga he scammed oh well that's a whole
different conversation man shut up but i will say as someone who's looking for up-and-coming talent
you do want to see that they have some uh work ethic meaning they are building some shit on
their own i'm only fans ain't on you've been there this spot talent develop it nurture it i see what
you know sometimes give them the budget give them the good beats listen to the album yeah yeah i'll give them the beats
give them the beats now this isn't this isn't a direct uh chatty house anr thing but it is
connected to it can i read someone's bio from from the chatty house sure okay read this directly
supermodel i do it all high High fashion, runway, music, swimsuit, commercial,
sports, fitness, print.

She's like a little man.
What did any of that mean?
That's a madame.
No, that's facts.
You got to read through that.
She's just a little
Swiss Army knife.
That's what she is.
No, she's a madame.
That's facts right there.
She runs a brothel. Yeah, she's a little Swiss army knife. That's what she is. No, she's a madame. That's facts right there. She runs a brothel. Yeah, she's a little
Swiss army knife. Okay. From Switzerland, right?
Not in Rory. Not in Rory

You said she.
Well, I don't know if she identifies as that.
That's true. That is true.
She could be fluid. Good play. Speaking of
getting in women's business. It wasn't me.
And I'm not getting into it
because I went into it before and they tore me apart And I'm not getting into it because I went into it before
and they tore me apart
and I'm not doing it again.
But I do see what's going on
between blank and blank.
Oh.
If there's the potential
of something going on
between blank and blank.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I see it from behind the scenes.
Does it?
Okay.

The album.
Let's start off by saying, are you okay?
We saw your-
Oh, no.

We're going to keep watching that.
Yeah, man, it was a crazy situation, man.
You know, just me, I was actually on my way to shoot a, I got a new show called Just Me
and My Bacon, Egg, and Cheese, which is a YouTube show, which started with me just eating bacon, egg, and cheese outside of my house.
And we just watched the engagement.
So, you know, people was like, yo, stop interviewing your friends.
And, you know, so, you know, it kicked off.
You know, I did Jim Jones, D1 Pop, a couple of other people, you know, and Safari.
We don't need to hear about who else did the show.
And then, you know, we were shooting at different places, stores.
You know, Jim Jones shot at the crib.
You know, D-1 Pop, we shot at the corner store.
No, all right, okay.
So we was like, yo, on the move,
it's definitely give us a new scenery every time we do an interview.
All right, if you missed what he said so far,
Fresher has a new show that he created about eating bacon, egg, and cheese
with various celebrities, and he's filming in different locations.
Everything is great so far.
So, um, I was on my way to shoot.
So, um tells you that something ain't
great coming. But it also tells
you they're going to try to sneak it in
smooth. So, um, alright.
Let's keep listening. Um, one of my friends
I'm going to put his name up there. But, um,
he was going to shoot and, um,
the cameraman was taking a minute.
So, we just sitting outside vibing.
You know me, me head.

You know what vibing is.
Hey, no, no, no, no.
The cameraman was taking a while.

You know, about 40 minutes just chilling in the long story short.
Nah, nigga.
Somebody ran up behind me.
You know what I'm saying?
Ran up from behind.
And when I turned around, just four dudes with guns at me, you get what I'm saying?
On me.
You know, when I turned around, yo, with a key, boom, hit me in my face with the gun,
like gun butter me with the keys.
Then from there, it's a blur, you get what I'm saying?
When I got hit the first time, boom, with the gun, with the keys.
That's what I remember, the keys. That's true., the keys. The keys were already in the car though,
because I was, we didn't go nowhere, you feel me? So the keys in the car, we outside of the car,
and when I turn around, I see the four dudes with guns, they all masked up, and I got hit the first,
like, I mean, it was over from there, as far as like, my eye just instantly shut, you know what
I'm saying? So now I'm just guarding my face, you part. I'm just guarding my face. I'm like, damn, they about to lead me on this block right now.
So, you know, Russell to the floor with the keys.
Give me the belt.
Give me the money with the jewelry.
You know what I'm saying?
And my mind, like, it's just crazy.
So, when he asked me for my belt, I had a Gucci belt.
I went to reach for the belt.
Hit me again.
Boom, like, oh, nuts.
Like, they going to have to just take, you know what I'm saying?
I thought the part I was waiting for came already.
It all happened in about two minutes.

But it all happened in two minutes, but it seemed so long.

That's good advice.
With long lectures about how hungry the streets are.
I never even thought of it that way.

Fair, fair.
Yeah, that's when us 80s babies remember him.
Yeah.
So when I read that he passed, I instantly thought about No Holds Barred.
And as a kid, I was excited about Hulk Hogan doing a movie.
Of course.
I see how some of that shit worked on me as a kid. Yeah, it's all marketing with uh I forgot who I was with but I knows my brother's dad didn't took us and the
dude bot that was sitting right behind us before the movie started this was in
at Green Acres.
He didn't like something that my brother's dad did
and he invited him outside.
For a conversation?
No.
They was going to shoot the Dukes.
Okay.
At No Holds Barred.
No Holds Barred.
That's why I remember.
And by the way,
at Green Acres Mall,
perfect place for fisticuffs.
Absolutely.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I was like, I really hope my brother's dad got hands.
You can't watch your brother's dad get scrapped.
Then you got to go home and tell your brother.
It happened before the movie started?
Yeah.
Because back then, before the movie started was when it could get active.
Niggas throwing popcorn at you.
Listen.
Niggas cracking.
Hey, when the screen
says don't make noise everybody making noise that's anywhere where wherever we're here for
is not like if the club all the music stops and people just standing around that's when most of
the problems start it's a good point you gotta turn dj gotta turn the music on or the let out
yeah after the music is stopped exactly yo and when the movie come on and the movie theater
starts showing all the exits in a packed movie i'll be like i'm getting there before these niggas i'm getting to that door and that door before anything pops over here
yeah and rest in peace to anybody that lost their life when that fucking lunatic nigga went in batman
and started shooting man i think i think about that a lot on the movie theater yeah that was
yeah uh but back to tiny man uh how did Tiny pass? COVID symptoms is what the reports said.
All right, so they're not telling us.
No, not exactly.
Because that would have meant that, let me not assume, but I mean.
Well, he did have pre-existing conditions.
Well, he was battling COVID earlier this year, they said.
He had dealt with COVID.
He battled COVID earlier this year.
But they said recently, early this week, I think his manager, somebody said that he was experiencing some of the same type of symptoms that come with COVID.
Got worse quickly and couldn't breathe.
Felt very weak.
Supposed to work in a movie set last week and had to cancel due to his breathing difficulties.
Also canceled a Zoom appearance for a TV festival.
That's tough when you got to cancel Zoom.
Yeah.
You're going through it.
Yeah, that night is when Cohen says
friends and family tried to call
and check on him,
but their calls went on unanswered.
Damn.
Yeah, when I was...
Rest in peace, man.
Definitely rest in peace.
It's just tough to...
It's just tough.
No, staple in the culture.
Yeah.
Everybody know Debo
Yeah
Hell yeah
Yeah
Debo became like
An adjective
Like of just
Don't get Debo
Like the way
Ether became it
Like
Yeah
That's fucked up
With the COVID
Like you don't know
We still don't know
A lot of the long term
Consequences
Whether his death
Was a result of that
Or not
It's still scary
To be like
Damn this shit
Might kick back in In six months or eight months or something like that.
Yeah.
Biden says that 100 million Americans or some shit will take the vaccine in the first three months.
Joe Budden says not I.
I say I.
You won't be one of them.
Shoot that thing right in the damn arm.
Never.
You taking it?
Absolutely.
First day.
First day I can.
You a sick white boy.
No. No, I'm not. I'm trying to not be a sick white boy. You not it? Absolutely. First day. First day I can. You a sick white boy. No.
No, I'm not. I'm trying to not be a sick white boy.
You not sick. I know.
What the fuck are you talking about? You take a vaccine before you get sick. That's how they work.
For COVID? He is right there.
That's how vaccines work. You take them to
prevent you from getting sick.
It gotta feel good to be a white person and trust
the government. I'm not taking that shit.
That's gotta feel good. I'm jealous of that what's in it because parks is logical right now the vaccine
should come before you get sick and if i trust y'all come put it in me i eat food that i don't
know what the fuck is in i've done drugs i don't know what the fuck is in i've done fucking blow
with strangers in the lower east side you think i'm not gonna get a fucking vaccine only way to
do blow all of that stuff sounds better i mean i'm glad you're fair with it I will definitely do blow
with someone in Lower East Side
that I don't know
before I take this vaccine
without seeing what it does
to people
I'm not going to be
first in line
we're not going to be
first in line
I'm not even first in line
for the iPhone
I got to see what bugs
they have to work out
you getting a beta vaccine
no they're going to
they're giving to bad people
before they like
they're going to give it
to the old people
to see what happens
to the blacks
you saying
I didn't say that
to the blacks I hate I didn't say that to the blacks I'm not I just can't fuck with it my thing is it is people still
die and then you're from what you mean we have a flu shot we have a way less
people die from the flu I understand that but what I'm saying is what I'm
saying is over that why are we taking it you are you are you are the person who
does this with him I'm sorry No but I
That's why
But him saying
He wants to be the first one
To take it
Let's me know everything
About it
Can we stop to acknowledge
That Parks and Mall
Definitely have their own
Very unique relationship
Oh yeah
Alright good
As long as that's clear
No but him just saying that
Explains everything
Why
Like you just trust the government
But your man
Your man made this vaccine
You don't trust the government
You just said
First day you want to take it
The government did not make the vaccine Scientists made the vaccine Why should you don't trust the government you just said first day you want to take it the government did not make the vaccine
scientists made the vaccine
why should white people
not trust the government
no not always
get the fuck out of here
they definitely go hand in hand
they absolutely go hand in hand
they got 1000%
about what
why would white people
not trust the government
I don't trust the government
no I know a lot of white people
that don't trust the government
I don't trust the government
why
white people also
should trust the government
why
because they're so bad to us
because they stand for us I don't trust the government. Why? White people also shouldn't trust the government. Because they're so bad to us? Because they stand for us?
I don't trust the government.
I trust doctors and scientists.
Oh, shit.
I trust doctors and scientists,
not the government's doctors and scientists.
The government is not making the vaccine.
The scientists that work with the government
are making it.
That were hired directly by the Illuminati.
No, they're not.
What are you guys talking about?
You're just saying things that aren't true.
I saw it on YouTube.
Look at Fauci and look at Trump.
They're not developing the vaccine, youtube and latimer they're in
the room where it's developed i'm sure they're going to check on the fucking status of shit
photo op i'm just saying don't be the first i've seen enough csi to know don't be the first they
ain't got to develop it for somebody to walk back there and drop something in the vows
and a little secret serum smallpox came from the scientists, the
government.
Yeah, no.
They're going to
dump some oil in the
vaccine.
Yeah, no, no.
Hey, Madonna,
stock's going up.
Crypto, whatever
y'all be saying.
Crypto, invest now.
I can't fuck with that.
Bitcoin is right here.
The vaccine is coming.
I'm rich now.
Hey, it was only
$12.
Now it's $500.
Let me sell.
Shut the fuck up.
I'm so sick of it. Madonna, going up. Told you.. Shut the fuck up. I'm so sick of it.
Moderna going up. Told you.
I'm not. I can't fuck with that.
I hate you stock niggas. I'm not taking that.
I can't take that shit.
Moderna.
What?
What?
I don't do stocks.
But I would understand
why people would be investing in the companies that are making the vaccine.
Sebi said put some salt and pepper on some cucumbers
and eat three times a day.
I mean, that's the best way to eat cucumbers.
No, that's good.
Tomatoes are good like that too.
You ever just slice tomatoes and just put salt and pepper on them?
Absolutely.
Often.
Yeah, real good.
Listen, I saw Joe walk through COVID.
I'm cool.
If you can live through that, I'm going to be all right.
This the most unhealthy nigga I know.
This nigga don't drink water.
He don't eat no veggies.
Jamil.
This is irresponsible.
If you can survive that, my brother, I want to fight COVID.
I want to fight COVID today.
No, you don't.
If you walk through that, you walk through that shit without a scratch.
You came out clean on the other side of COVID.
I almost died in my house.
You ain't almost died, nigga.
Shit.
I'm going to be all right.
Fuck that.
Fuck that shot.
Get the fuck out of here.
I'm not taking that shit.
I never say that shit because I just don't want them to bring the clip up when I die of me saying that.
Whatever.
Of what?
That you're not taking it?
I'm not going to die from it.
I don't want them bringing up the clip of me saying I'm not taking that shit when I get COVID and die
so
yo
I need a safe
in my house
because that one night
did I tell y'all
that one night
that I did think
I was gonna die
there was some things
I didn't want anyone
to find
okay
and I was real tired
I didn't have a fucking thing
did you clear out
your search history
I'm in this stuff and shit
under my bed
I'm in there hiding shit under your bed. I'm in there hiding shit.
Under your bed?
They're not going to find it under your bed.
I'm psycho.
Well, they would if I'm dead.
Yeah, exactly.
All right.
Kid Cudi released his new album, Man on the Moon.
I hear a good segue coming.
Anybody that is taking the coronavirus vaccine definitely believes we landed on the moon. You're one of those people. I don't know if I believes we landed on the moon.
You're one of those people.
I don't know if I believe we landed on the moon.
Fam, we didn't land on the moon.
What are you talking about?
It's the moon.
We didn't go there.
It's right there.
Fam, we did not go to the moon.
It's a promo clip right here.
We're talking about the fucking moon.
You think we landed on Antarctica?
No. Fuck it, the earth is flat. Antarctica don't even exist. right here we're talking about the fucking moon you think we landed on antarctica no
fuck the earth is flat and arctic don't even exist that's iceland when you watch the discovery
channel i love i love the white man finding the one place that they didn't get to there's no
spices up there hey that's there still no there there wasn't any people of dark descent that would take over.
Why do whites ain't try that shit with the aliens?
No, we do best.
We lie and change history.
We ain't laying on the fucking moon, son.
I know that studio.
I've been to it in LA.
Let me report the news.
China.
China.
China.
China.
China releases images of its flag on the moon
as spacecraft carrying lunar rocks lifts off
that's a video game
that is a video game
it's not even a person
China is
it's a simile
China is prepared
to put gang gang gang
on the moon
like we did with Neil Armstrong
and Lance Armstrong
and BJ Armstrong
and the Livestrong bracelets.
Now,
what do you guys think about this?
Trying to land
a Range Rover on the moon?
I think it's great.
Range Rovers are great cars.
They handle well.
That's a Roomba.
They put a Roomba on the moon?
Wait, y'all really don't think
that Neil went to the moon?
Or are we joking?
Is it satire?
No, I know that studio set.
I've been to it.
I've shot there.
I think we did the Nicki podcast at that set.
Where they said they landed in the moon?
Yes.
That's CGI.
That wasn't CGI.
That was a white psych and a guy in a space suit.
What kind of camera is that?
That's a cartoon, man.
Look at the flames.
That's a cartoon.
This is a bad video game.
Video games look more realistic than this.
Yo, I'm still not off that Netflix doc.
I forgot the name of it
where they put a bunch of people
that wasn't real astronauts on the spaceship
and then it went up to the circle of the Earth.
There was only one person that wasn't.
The movie Armageddon?
You don't think Ben Affleck was a real...
Wait, that wasn't a documentary?
No.
You sure?
Yeah.
Everybody else was
astronaut scientists.
Bruce Willis could go
to the moon, bro.
No, I think that's wrong.
No, it was one teacher.
That was the first time
they were introducing
that program.
I thought there were
more people from
a regular job
that had to train.
No, only one of them
was a teacher.
Well, either way,
they watched the shit
go up and it blew up
and they had footage of it
and I was sad.
That's what this is making me think of.
Yeah, that's when Neil Armstrong was in that one.
He passed away in that crowd.
What would need to happen for you to agree to get on some man-made shit and head to the moon or Mars?
I'm not going to the fucking moon.
Or to circle the Earth.
No thanks.
I'm cool.
I fuck with the Earth.
I'm cool.
Yeah, I like it down here.
Earth ain't that bad.
Now, you can think about it
I get mad when the flight
Don't pull right up to the gate
And gotta spin around
In the sky for a little bit
The fuck I look like
Trying to circle the earth
Y'all don't remember
What happened to us
When we landed in Boston
And then kept flying
Oh yeah
I've been on so many flights
I was fucking terrified
Yeah something was on
A truck or something
Was on the runway
Fuck we landed in Boston
And then flew again.
Yeah, take off.
What was wrong?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
We literally hit the runway and then we went back up in the air and circled around Boston
and no one said anything over the speaker like that was normal.
I was also in a flight in Japan that like it was a monsoon.
It was monsoon season and it was monsooning and they don't really give a fuck.
So we just went anyway and we're like in the mountains.
So it went straight up in the air.
I thought I was going to die.
So you flew in a monsoon.
Correct.
This nigga's a daredevil.
That's why he's taking the vaccine.
He's going to take the vaccine.
But if you flew through a monsoon, a vaccine ain't shit.
That shit is nothing.
Nothing.
It's just nothing.
And it's from Asia.
Or you board.
Or you board.
You board the 12-15.
You're supposed to take off at 12-15. They don't you board the 12-15. It's supposed to take off at 12-15.
They don't take off at 12-15.
They come on and tell you you got to sit tight for the next two hours.
Don't tell you that the engine broke.
I hate that one, too.
Shouldn't they tell you when the engine is broke on the plane?
No, my favorite is when they tell you, hey, we went through our safety checklist and it's not safe.
But we're going to fix it.
No, get me off this plane.
They wait until you're on the plane to tell you this information.
Like you tell us in the gate so we can.
Sam, I'm going to get a honey, a Cinnabon.
Yeah.
I'm not just sitting here right now.
No, thank you.
But China's putting people on, on the moon.
Ta-da.
There we go.
Nobody's going on the moon.
That's hilarious to me. Kid Cudi has been to the moon. He you have it. Nobody's going on the moon. That's hilarious to me.
Kid Cudi's been to the moon.
He has.
Three times.
Yes.
I've eaten a bunch of mushrooms and went to the moon.
Debatable.
Okay.
One time for sure.
He influenced the moon.
No, he hit the moon once.
Could there be any other planets?
He got there one time.
He was successful one time.
Yeah. He was Apollo one time. Yeah.
He was Apollo 13 on some others.
Yeah.
I got some issues.
That was a good white joke
that went over your head.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah.
Shout out to Tom Hanks.
And Kid Cudi.
Cudi gonna whoop y'all ass, man.
I love Kid Cudi.
Yo.
All right.
It's Saturday,
so I'm just talking about you
that don't have nothing to do with nothing.
But when they was tearing Chet Hanks up a few weeks ago
I was like hey fam
if my dad was Tom Hanks
I would tell all y'all
to suck my dick
in Patois
you ever seen Forrest Gump?
He was on an island way longer than y'all.
My dad made Castaway.
What are you talking about?
Saving Private Ryan.
Big.
Movie you saved.
Nigga made Big good.
I thought Big was a great movie back in the day.
Anyway.
It was a great movie.
Yo, Saving Private Ryan.
The premise of that movie, I would have shot Tom Hanks.
You mean we are going to travel around and get murked just to save some guy because his brothers died?
I'm killing you, Tom Hanks.
Depremence of that movie is nuts.
But go ahead.
They do need new movie plots.
Because I have a thing with searching for movies, but not really to pick a good movie, but just to read the little paragraph about the movie.
Reb loves that, too.
They're all the same.
All the movies are the same. I'll sit there for an hour and read the paragraph read the little paragraph about the movie. They're all the same.
All the movies are the same.
I'll sit there for an hour and read the paragraph.
I don't like the paragraph. Show me the trailer.
I'm a trailer guy.
Yeah, but before the trailer comes,
the paragraph.
Yeah, but I don't know how to skip the paragraph.
I go right to the trailer. Oh, no, I can't give my trailer time.
Or I'll just dive into the movie.
I'm not a reader.
We've seen your work.
Give me the visuals.
We've seen your efforts.
At least I showed my work.
How do you say Israeli?
You know, he don't know where the subtitles icon is.
What are those?
I'm just going to watch this movie in Spanish.
All right, come on.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne did something that we have to tell people about.
He flew to Miami with a gold-plated pistol. He got taste. Hold on.
I can read this one. Rapper Lil Wayne pleads guilty
to gun charge. He flew to Miami with a
gold-plated pistol. Killed that headline.
One year after
flying to Miami in a chartered plane with
bags packed with gold-plated hand
guns, drugs, Rapper Lil Wayne pleaded
guilty Friday to possessing a firearm
as a formerly convicted
felon.
Well, at least he pled guilty.
They pulled up on the PJ?
Didn't blame Tammy.
And checked him?
Tammy could have packed his bag.
Tammy didn't do this one.
Damn.
That was you, Wayne.
I'm not going to get into Wayne business, but flying to Miami with Coke. You're a podcaster.
You've got to get into somebody's business.
Flying to Miami with Coke is a little ass backwards.
Just fly to Miami to get the Coke.
Or just hit Nori.
Snitch.
Coke champs.
Now that's a show.
Now that's a show.
Hey Nori, call me when you're ready for Coke champs.
You and your little drinks.
I was on about four Adderall and Duce sitting next to Crooked Eye on Drink Champs.
Oh, my God.
That was weird.
Terrible night.
I had no plan of going on Drink Champs.
I was in the parking lot.
Nori's like, you, come inside.
What's up?
Oh, it's a camera and a microphone.
Tell us what happened with Slaughterhouse.
Nori, I am on mad Adderall right now.
I think he may have said that on the episode.
And I have mixed it
with Dusay.
And I haven't eaten
in three days.
Because of the Adderall.
Yes.
My apologies to Rich Boy.
He's from Alabama,
not Atlanta.
I'm sorry.
I still got that nigga.
Fuck y'all.
We said that though.
I feel like this week
at least gave you that one.
We said that,
but some of the audience out there. I got Bone Crusher too and Pastor Troy. We said that, though. I feel like we at least gave you that one. We said that, but some of the audience out there.
I got Bone Crusher, too, and Pastor Troy.
Damn, Bone Crusher had that joint, though.
I'd have to think about that.
I got them both.
But you only had the one Bone Crusher, I think.
I feel like Bone Crusher has some features.
He can play what he like in the three off.
Play what you like.
I got them niggas.
Back to Wayne. I think you and Red Cafe
would be a good battle
Red Cafe is getting Joe
Red Cafe is getting Joe
he's not
you're not fucking with him
no listen
contrary to popular belief
I like Red
and I think Red got joints
the rest of the country
may not know that.
Absolutely.
But I know that.
There was an era in New York clubs where it was a whole red cafe set during the night.
No, red got joints.
Tell me about red.
I know.
I'm very aware of red cafe.
And I believe red cafe is writing for a lot of these artists, but I'm not going to get into it.
But if I get up to one red cafe, I think I could get them.
And I think I'd get up to one of them with my two.
Uh-huh.
Listen. No, I'm listening. cafe i think i could get him and i think i get up two on him with my two ah listen no you gotta deal with pumping up and clubbing that's your you're right no there's no denying the fuck i can't take
that from you joe fuck you mall what do y'all think about wayne selling his masters to universal for over, over, huh? Yo.
Hey, in 2021,
it's over for over.
It's over for over.
I don't want to hear that no more.
You want the 101.5?
Yeah, tell me what it is.
Okay.
I don't care how far over 100 it is.
He's underpaid.
Wayne's catalog is worth way more than that. I didn't realize,
Alex told me that in the article it said that he did so without consulting his lawyer.
Yeah, am I trying to pay that lawyer fee on my 100 mil?
Wait, what?
Wait.
No way.
Hold up, bro.
That may be highlighted.
Is that what's highlighted?
Don't joke through this.
Oh, wait.
There it is.
The Young Money boss has reportedly sold his masters to Universal Music Group for more
than $100 million.
According to some site I won't say, the lucrative deal happened in June
but was not made public until now
as part of a lawsuit from Wayne's former manager.
That doesn't say that he didn't meet with his attorney.
I don't even think that's possible.
Well, he's also being sued.
Well, he didn't meet with his manager, clearly.
He is suing Wayne for over $20 million,
claiming the rapper hired him in 2005
to help renegotiate his
deal with Birdman and Cash Money Wayne settled the Cash Money suit in May 2018 but Sweeney says he
only received a few payments from that settlement which was nowhere near what he believes he's owed
Sweeney also says that around the same time Wayne asked him to fire his longtime manager Cortez
all right I'm not doing the gossip stuff more More the business stuff. Alright, so Wayne signed a big
deal. Old management wants money.
This is a familiar story in hip-hop
happening yet again. I feel like we just covered this
last week, but what
do we think? You saying
Wayne is severely underpaid?
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
Going by his catalog, yes.
Going by his catalog, I would think yes.
Absolutely.
Without a doubt.
I would need to know what is exactly in Wayne's catalog that he has rights to sell.
Publishing?
Well, yeah, I don't know.
That's a good question because they could have been owning his pub too.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know that part's a good question because they could have been owning his pub too. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know that part.
I'd like to know it.
But off first glance, this sounds like Wayne is severely underpaid.
But it's too much of a chain to have to follow with Wayne.
Like my issue, you had all – I have an issue with that relationship
between Universal and Wayne.
But I'm shutting up.
So now you sold your shit to Universal who already had your shit.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know.
Yeah.
There's a lot of
tangled webs there.
Who owns what?
I bet I could untangle them too.
You getting your detective bag?
I won't.
I will not.
You've watched
a lot of Law and Order.
I have too much respect
for these entities
and these people.
But, and again,
like Moel said,
you get a hundred more so you get 100
million you get 100 million yeah what i'm gonna say 100 million hold me down for a little while
somebody has something coming soon with all of these catalogs for sure no there's a reason why
this is happening yeah they're gonna up the streaming prices by triple something's gonna
happen yeah it's definitely something this ain't just a coincidence that all these people are
selling all they shit and thinking it's a great idea to do it.
Well, no.
The coincidence isn't on who's selling.
It's who's buying.
Yeah, it's who's buying.
Yeah.
Yeah, because of course you're going to sell.
Well, I'm saying the market being open as is of this being a thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's probably some inside info that we're not privy to.
Yeah, I'm going to need a few mil for my masters, man.
Same.
This fucker. Yo Yo Maul's hilarious
I just turned to look at Joe
When he said he need a few mil
From his masters
I know that's why
I thought you're funny
Okay
See
Fam I don't
It's nothing here
But there's no tension here
I promise you bro
Just letting you know that
There's no tension here
But why you looking at me
When I said that
No because I thought you I thought it was something That was coming after that So I was waiting for you To get it to your shit That's all There's no tension there. But why are you looking at me when I said that? No, because I thought you,
I thought it was something
that was coming after that.
So I was waiting for you
to get it to your shit.
That's all.
That's why I just looked at you.
That was it.
Okay.
That's all.
Let's see how to break up.
This does suck
for the mixtape artist, though.
Yeah.
Like, if a bulk of your career,
Wayne obviously is not in this,
even though he was a huge part
of the mixtape shit.
He had albums.
These niggas just say shit
to try to make me feel bad.
Oh, boy.
Mixtape shit?
Yeah, no, it's tough for a person
that was in the mixtape era to sell their catalog.
I wonder if that includes their mixtape shit.
No, it can't.
Why not?
Because you don't own it.
You own the lyrics?
You can't sell your mixtape shit.
You could sell your lyrics.
Yeah, right.
Watch what I do with this fucking
dad-piff-a-loose-quarter tape in a couple seconds.
You got plans?
What? Why wouldn't he?
Catch me if you can, A-Rab.
Business going out, buddy.
What? It's a bandemic.
Right, right.
We got to keep this going. How to break
up Facebook.
Is that a movie title?
That's the title of this shit.
The government is making Facebook
fucking sell their shit from it.
Sell everything but Facebook.
They're trying to.
They're trying to.
We'll see.
We'll see if they're successful.
Why are they doing this?
Because it's a monopoly.
They should.
On Wednesday,
the Federal Trade Commission
filed a lawsuit against Facebook
alleging that the company
had engaged in illegal anti-competitive behaviors to sustain or social
to sustain a social media monopoly attorneys general from the fort from 46 states dc and guam
is that right guam yes a coalition that conducted an investigation in conjunction with the ftc
filed a separate suit making similar antitrust claims. The FTC is partly seeking to
force Facebook to sever its subsidiaries
Instagram,
which it acquired in 2012
for $1 billion, and WhatsApp,
which it acquired in 2014 for
$19 billion.
God damn, what's that sold for that
much more than Instagram?
WhatsApp is huge, bro.
I understand,
but 18 billion more?
That makes sense.
It's a huge, huge, huge national.
I just didn't know
the numbers attached to this stuff.
The suit will likely be contested
for years, you don't say,
and it's far from a foregone conclusion
that Facebook will actually
have to break it up.
But if the FTC
is ultimately successful,
how would Facebook go about
separating itself
from Instagram and WhatsApp
that's their job
I'm not
bothering myself
with that
I hope it happens
I'm conflicted
with this type of shit
you're conflicted
go ahead
I get it
I know
I've admitted that
millions of times
you need to tell me that Joe
sorry
no the government's
only doing this
not for our safety
they're doing it
because Amazon and Facebook are showing signs that they'll be more powerful than the government's only doing this not for our safety. They're doing it because Amazon and Facebook are showing signs that they'll be more powerful than the government.
No, the government does do this for our safety.
They're making a vaccine for us.
Oh, my bad.
The government isn't making the vaccine.
Yes, they are.
Yes, they are.
They aren't.
Yes, they are.
They aren't.
Okay.
Are they hiring the people to do it?
Okay.
No.
Scientists are doing it out of the good of their hearts.
Shut the fuck up. The scientists are doing it At the good of their hearts Shut the fuck up
The scientists are doing it
Because they're going to
Make a billion dollars off it
And the government
Is going to let them keep it
Right
They're going to tax it
Of course
Just the money
They're going to only
Tax the money off
They're going to find
Fauci in the trunk
Don't make me agree with them all
Because I hate agreeing
And I'll never agree with him
I'm telling you man
You see this shit
from a mile away.
Which day do you
think it'll happen?
Soon.
Soon.
You'll see.
Soon.
Don't worry about it.
I ain't fucking
with that vaccine,
I'll tell you that.
You fucking with Facebook?
I haven't been on
Facebook in years.
I don't know
what the fuck.
Yeah.
Shout out to Facebook.
And you have definitely
texted an international harlot
On WhatsApp
I'm sure
Oh for sure
Especially when you cross
International borders
Gotta say
That's how you do it
WhatsApp is the shit
Your international chicks
They'll be trying to hit you
At random points of the day
Like yo
Why is this not going over here
Cause you're over there
That's why
You ever had an international chick
12 hours away Hit you when she's super drunk And you're just like Waking up why. You ever had an international chick 12 hours away
hit you when she's super drunk
and you're just like
waking up for the day?
It's an awkward text conversation.
Like,
you're doing a lot.
I'm making coffee.
Yeah,
energy is not the same.
Really awkward explaining
that whole out of sight,
out of mind thing.
It's real.
Hey,
this bitch is here
like around me.
Like available,
trying to come over.
Psych.
Interesting to see what goes on with this. The government available, trying to come over and shit. Fuck. Interesting to see
what goes on with this.
The government has been
trying to divide
companies that monopolize
the internet for the last
few years and one day
they're going to figure
out how to do it
and hopefully I get
my hundred million
before that happens.
Because the government
is trying to monopolize
the internet and they're
pissed they didn't
get to it first.
And also because
these companies are
making trillions of
dollars off us.
And what is the government doing?
And what is Johnson & Johnson doing?
Selling baby oil.
What are they doing about this?
They should break up them, too.
I'm not saying that.
They should break up the Johnsons.
They're selling drugs.
Keep the Johnsons fucking separate.
One Johnson.
Johnson can't be together.
One Johnson.
Only one.
It's a monopoly on the Johnsons.
Not vaccines infested
with drugs and
cancer and baby powder.
Not Johnson & Johnson coming out
with a three-for-one vaccine.
And don't let them advertise on Facebook.
Shit is crazy, man.
Prayers to Lil Wayne in this case.
Yeah.
What do you say when you don't want to give prayers to something prayers oh even if you don't want to give them because here's the here's the thing with prayers
you don't really decide them so you can say whatever you don't have to actually do the
prayer that's why prayers is so such a cop out like like first of all you don't even know my
relationship bed and say little wayne relationship. You don't know my
relationship with God.
If I pray for it,
it's probably won't
come true.
I always think about
that too.
Like when you're on
the plane and the
people are praying
next to you,
like,
oh man,
I hope they're not
pieces of shit.
Look,
I'd hate to die
for your karma.
God is not answering
you,
buddy.
He sold you did last night
He might be a spiteful God
Oh you rang?
Oh it's you
Oh man
You gotta come clean in the air
And then when you land
Be the same piece of shit you always was
Niggas definitely do that
Pray before they take off
Soon as they land
Text a girl some nasty shit
and go,
I'm here.
Cannot wait.
You there, right?
You in the room?
They gave you the key?
Let's get crazy.
Yo, who told you that?
You've been pushing that.
No, no, no, no.
We're not going to let you
just keep throwing that line out.
Who told you let's get crazy?
He's pulling from real life.
Stop touching me
and tell me who told you
let's get crazy. Because I need to real life. Stop touching me and tell me who told you let's get crazy.
Because I need to know how you reacted.
Just like that.
You need to know.
How many years you live with me?
You need to know how I reacted to let's get crazy.
Okay.
He went crazy.
I know he went crazy.
No worries.
Joe grabbed about 40 candles. He's like, what? Come Okay. He went crazy. I know he went crazy. No worries. Joe grabbed about 40 candles.
He's like, what?
Come on.
He had a hotel.
I packed 40 candles.
Nah, your man went crazy.
Come on, let's talk about it.
Tossing it to our basketball analyst,
Maul.
Paul George somehow
signed an extension
that adds $190 million to his LA Clippers
contract. It was like $224 million or something
crazy. Yeah, $226 million.
$226 million for Paulie George.
$190 million.
Jesus Christ.
I want to call Kawhi Wright this
instant. Pay that man. Pay that black man.
I ain't mad at it.
I'm not mad at it.
I'm not in your front office.
I wouldn't have signed off on it, I'll tell you that one.
A quick update.
Jack Freeman just hit me and said that Face is doing well, waiting for a transplant still.
Scarface.
We asked on the last episode how Scarface is doing.
Glad he's doing okay.
Hope he gets that.
The transplant.
Yeah.
Thank you, Jack Freeman.
Our Houston insider. Now ask him how Paul George is doing Thank you, Jack Freeman. Yeah. Our Houston insider.
Now ask him how Paul George is doing.
Oh, he's 226.
He's great.
Yeah, word.
That just provided my entertainment for the rest of the basketball season, by the way.
See how that lives up?
Paul George got all that money?
I'm just watching Paul George all year.
That's it.
Not Austin Rivers?
I think, but I understand.
A few people
Were kind of surprised
They gave him that much
But
It's Paul George bro
He said he got back
With his trainer
That he was with
For the MVP season
Oh that'll do it
He never said
Why he left the trainer
From the MVP season
Yeah
I didn't hear that part
I was listening
Get into that backstory
Yeah
Creative differences
Just let us know
What happened
You know
In the last few years
Where y'all wasn't
Working out together
I know one thing.
We better see the results this season or I'm on your ass.
We better see it.
190.
You're not seeing it.
I think so.
Must be a great fucking trainer.
I think we're going to see it.
How much does the trainer make?
I'm going to see it if I'm watching the Lakers.
You're going to watch the Clippers.
Why?
It's the Clippers.
What does that mean? I'm just saying it's a good team. It's one of the best teams in the West. You have to watch the Clippers. Why? It's the Clippers. Maul loves the Clippers.
What does that mean?
No, I'm just saying it's a good team.
It's one of the best teams in the West.
You have to watch them.
I don't think they're one of the best teams in the West.
Come on, stop it.
They still do have Kawhi Leonard.
They're one of the best teams in the West.
I think they dropped a lot lower than wherever they were.
I'm not going to give a sports take right now,
but if I'm doing the teams in the West.
You don't think the Clippers is a top four team in the West?
No way.
No way on God's green earth. You are way. No way on God's green earth.
You are sick.
No way on God's green earth.
It's not that green anymore.
You're sick.
Well, who did they lose to last season?
They lost to the...
Denver?
Denver, yeah, to the Nuggets.
Denver is ahead of them, right?
Okay.
That's one.
The Los Angeles Lakers would be two.
That's definitely two. The Lakers Lakers would be two. Definitely two.
The Lakers are ahead of them, right?
Yeah, we said that too.
I'm not making the Dallas jump.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not going to be so fast to make the Utah jump, but somebody can make that argument.
Somebody would be wrong.
I don't think the Clippers can beat a healthy, you know, same line, a healthy Portland.
I'm not mad at that.
A healthy Portland.
That'll be a good series.
I want to watch that.
I got the Lakers,
the Nuggets,
and Portland
better than the Clippers
currently constructed.
They might do something.
That's three teams,
so the Clippers will be four.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That's all I'm saying, Joe.
Because the Rockets are done. Yeah. Spurs are done. There's Okay. That's all I'm saying, Joe.
Because the Rockets are done.
Yeah.
Spurs are done.
There's a team in the West I'm forgetting.
Oh, the Warriors.
We don't know
what they're looking for.
We don't really know.
Well, not now.
Not now.
Not now.
I'll take it back.
All right.
I mean, Steph Curry's still there.
All right, I'll take it back.
I'll take it back.
Listen, the NBA
or somebody related to the NBA
put out the NBA's
top 10 players.
Greek Freak was three.
Four was Luka.
This is the ESPN list I'm talking about.
I'll just read it to you.
Number one was LeBron James.
Two, Anthony Davis.
Three, Greek Freak.
Then Luka.
Then Kawhi.
Then KD.
Then Dame Lillard.
Then Steph.
Then Harden.
Then Jovich.
Nikolai.
That's the 10.
What do y'all think?
That's a sick-ass list.
I'm not rolling.
I said this last year off record.
I'll say it here.
For the next five years,
I don't think I want to hear Greek Freak's name in the same sentence with Luka.
I just don't.
That's fair.
That's fair.
I don't.
I know I maybe don't have enough to support that.
I do.
But I don't.
He's had good teams and good coaching and hasn't budged in the playoffs, so I can't put him. He got. But I don't. He's got a, he's had good teams and good coaching
and hasn't budged
in the playoffs.
So I can't put him.
He got to make a jump shot.
Giannis,
Giannis.
A 15 footer.
He got to win
some bigger games.
He'll do that
if he makes a jump shot.
He still doesn't know
how to play basketball.
That's just the bottom line
with Giannis.
He's athletic,
he's talented,
but he don't know
the game yet.
He don't know
how to win games yet.
Yeah, I can agree.
Luka is special because he's been playing professionally since he's probably 17, I think, something like that.
Yeah.
Oh, great.
So y'all told me I couldn't say this before, but maybe now I can say it.
Who was that Kings pick that went before everybody that was good?
Come on.
The Trae Young draft.
It would have to be...
The Luka Doncic draft.
Probably Bagley, I think.
Bagley.
Can I say it?
You went to Duke, right?
Can I say it now?
Yeah.
Now can I say it?
You can say it.
A little while ago, y'all told me.
Couldn't say.
It was too early to say it.
Sacramento is probably regretting the pick.
Can I say it now?
Oh, everybody's regretting not taking Luka.
There were mad other people.
Oh, this is Trey Young's draft.
This is Trey Young's draft.
Yeah.
Above Bagley.
Oh, yeah.
Am I hating?
No.
No.
I think that's pretty accurate.
Okay.
He's still young, though.
Still young.
Still young.
He's only 21.
He's only 21. And the Kings don't really have a lot going on. Oh, please. You hate Kevin Still young. He's only 21. He's only 21.
And the Kings don't really have a lot going on.
Oh, please.
You hate Kevin Knox, and he only 19.
Don't do that.
I don't hate Kevin Knox.
Oh, you speak badly about him.
You would know.
You was just talking about him like he was KD of New York.
Never that.
Yes, you were.
Never that.
He was like Knox off the bench.
He can hit the three.
KD is in New York.
Joe was pumping Kevin Knox.
All right, man.
Yo.
Lil Wayne did some shit.
Who's that dude Y'all drafted
Like he can dunk
He can though
Joe was real hype
Off the dunk
Off the dunk
Obi
That shit guy
Obi
He shot 41% from three
And he's from Brooklyn
And he's from New York
Okay we gonna see
What that shit look like
When Kyrie and KD
Throwing that shit
Off his forehead
And getting to the rack
They don't play each other
That much
Four times.
In the NBA season.
What's our man's percentage from three, Julius?
That's my guy, too.
But what's his percentage from three?
Because that's who he's battling.
He's not a three-point shooter.
He's a center, isn't he?
No, he's not a center.
He's losing that battle.
And by the way,
a three-point percentage in the A-10
in the NBA is a difference.
I wouldn't compare. Cut it out.
Cut it out.
No.
Y'all get hyped for y'all.
I didn't say nothing.
Always get hyped for their rookies.
He's talented, but no.
Listen, if I'm the 3-4
on the team and you go draft the 3-4,
all I'm saying is you got to look out for the dude.
That's all. You don't have to fuck with Julius. Don't do that.
But for you to say that he don't
even have to look the young kid's way.
You know what Julius averaged last year?
No. Okay. That's why you're talking like that.
And Julius Randle's more of a
big man, I think, than a wing.
I know he has a long range
game to some degree, but...
I fuck with Julius Randle, so I don't want to ever say something
that sounds like... He averaged 20 and 10 last year.
You've seen what Obie averaged, right?
You talking about college? Can you tell me?
So you don't know?
The Knicks played a college schedule.
The Knicks are a college team.
I don't know if the Knicks can...
Can they beat Kentucky?
Yes. Can they beat Alabama?
Yes. In football? Yes.
In football? No, the Knicks cannot beat Alabama in football.
Look at Obi Duncan.
Come on, man.
Get off of this.
I'm off of this.
All right, so listen.
Y'all want to address the smoke or not?
We had Al with two.
Don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
Look, then grab the aux.
Don't look at me.
He's all right.
Yeah, grab the aux then.
Grab the phone.
Yeah, let me hear the smoke y'all talking about.
Lock your windows. Close your doors. Grab the phone. Let me hear this smoke y'all talking about. Lock your windows.
Close your doors.
Park smalls.
I'm not sure that we have any choice but to retaliate.
We got to clap back?

I'm so glad that he's all right. And saying somebody's name and then they pop up in the news. I'm so glad

I mean, that's the one,
though, to set the move.
I think I would just
watch this by myself
and vibe out.
Okay.
Glass of wine, maybe.
Just something light, man.
Because what happens is
it's just like it's like super bowl
when you have a whole bunch of people over and get to talking and shit now you're missing the
battle i don't want to miss this i don't i want to pay a lot of attention i will say uh which one
was that that you have people at the crib brandy monica yeah we'll say that was fun though it was
fun but i couldn't really enjoy the music yeah you miss You miss it with too many people. It was a lot of yelling, a lot of bad singing over the music.
I couldn't vibe.
I forgot who I was watching Ross and Chains with, but boy, was that a party.
You know who you was watching Ross and Chains with.
I don't.
Why you keep doing that?
Look how fast Joe.
Look, Joe.

I don't know who I was watching it with.
Don't stop doing that to me, man.
Look at Keisha.
Yo, Keisha's winning this.
I'm sorry.
Mo, who you going to watch this with?
Myself, probably.
Not the young lady that maybe you took to dinner the other night?
No.
Rented out the whole top floor of Ruth's?
We're getting a dating life.
All the young ladies.
We're not going to dinner without that.
Oh, you are stupid.
Rory is so stupid.
Rented the whole top floor.
Never.
All the young ladies I'd like to watch it with don't live out here.
Can't be corny and have a FaceTime date during the versus battle, right?
That'd be pretty corny.
No, I'm not doing that.
Nah.
I'm hearing more and more women pop up with the whole,
apparently there's some feature on Netflix where you could schedule to watch it with somebody.
Yes, I saw that.
That's some super lonely shit.
Fam, don't ever say that dumb shit to me again if you're a girl.
That's some super lonely shit.
Hey, want to watch a movie with me tonight?
Sure.
Are you coming here?
No, we can set it up
On Netflix

The worst night of my life
Hell no
I'm doing that shit
Gotta talk to you
And pay attention
Yeah it's a lot
This is gonna be
A good one though
Look at the record
That Scream Man picked
Ashanti better not Play around When Last Night Come on Look at the record that Scream Man picked.
Ashanti better not play around when Last Night come on.
She better not.
I hope that Ashanti, because Ashanti been like that nigga for a long time.
I hope that she don't look at Keesh like some little sis just.
I don't think so.
No, hell no.
She don't.
I don't think Ashanti looks at Keesh Cole that way.
No.
At all.
Well, we will see. I hope Keesh Cole don't look at Ashanti that way.
Yeah.
I'm about to say that.
I think they both can be very well prepared for this.
You think Keisha would do that?
She wouldn't do that.
No, hell no.
Neither one of them would do that.
They're very aware of each other's records.
Being aware of somebody's records and looking at them like little bro, little sis is two
different things.
Yeah, but that would be a mistake on any artist's behalf.
You got to respect your opponent.
Mo, you have plans of an ambiance, maybe with the lights in your crew?
Yeah, you know, the lights is always there.
Okay, will the lights be alone?
I'll be there.
Will you and the lights be alone?
Yeah.
Okay.
Did you guys see that Pornhub is cracking down?
Look at Rory.
Look what you do to Pornhub, man.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's Bang Bros.
My bad.
No, I got Pornhub Premium, too.
Baller.
What are they cracking down on?
Just people posting shit, because a lot of people were saying that they were supporting
some nefarious sexual acts.
So Amazon and Visa said that we're going to pull out.
Oh, okay.
Wait, Amazon is an investor in porno?
What's the name of the fucking-
MasterCard.
MasterCard and Visa.
What's the name of the Keisha Cole and Monica song
that Monica played toward the end of her verses?
I don't recall.
Hey, look it up for me.
Look it up for me.
Yeah, trust.
Yeah.
Oh, man. Yeah, that. Yeah. Oh, man.
Yeah, that's my sleep of the day.
That's going to be tough to beat, too.
Mm.
Keisha's going to go the distance here.
She is.
All right, what else is important?
What else is important?
What else is important?
Come on, give it to me.
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
We didn't talk about.
Oh, go ahead.
I was talking about the Disney shit.
Disney Plus is increasing its price to $8 a month starting in march well what's the price now
maybe treating this shit like six it's a dollar dollar more
it's a lot of dollars it is so disney announced a whole slew of shit the other day to get people
really excited they have like nine different versions of Star Wars coming out.
Pull it up because I'm not trying to
rack my brain with all this shit
that I don't care about.
And rest in peace Darth Vader 2.
Oh yeah.
I forgot his name was...
Oh, the guy who plays Darth Vader?
Yeah.
Disney Plus will raise its US subscription price
by $1 in March,
bringing it to $8
a month, Disney said Thursday, as
it unleashed a flood of
news about its streaming services
at a four-hour event. Disney
laid out plans for as many as 20 new Marvel
and Star Wars series,
promised to let animation fans stream
animated fantasy Raya and the Last
Dragon the same day it hits theaters
for $30 extra
and revealed a new bundle that packages
ad-free Hulu with Disney
Plus and ESPN Plus for
$19 a month.
Wait, what was it? Hulu, ESPN
and Disney for $19? Yeah.
That's a good deal. Well, they offered a real
good deal before with
you can get, if you get Disney Plus you get Hulu free for a year or some shit like that and that was a real good deal. Well, they offered a real good deal before with you can get,
if you get Disney Plus, you get Hulu free for a year or some shit like that.
And that was a real good deal, too.
We'll see what happens.
Corey says the stock is shooting up.
He's a believer.
I believe it.
It's hard to not believe that Disney will succeed eventually.
I don't think that kids care about Star Wars.
They do.
I'm here to tell you that they do. That's like a culture yeah it's a huge culture i know you you need more i'm just taking my opinion i
know it's just my i get you i have nothing for your for your viewing yeah i have nothing to
support that right no what i'm saying is and what did you what do you say they had 86 million people
up there 86 million 87 million people.
Right on Disney.
That's amazing.
That's great.
That's great.
That's great.
That sounds about like
the number of people I expect
to rush to Disney Plus
when Star Wars and all this Marvel shit comes out.
That sounds like the right number.
And all the classic shit.
Don't forget that
because there's a lot of people
that tune in to watch all those.
I don't think the classics sustain you
for the next decade.
Maybe not the decade, no.
Where do you think their subscribers stand two years from now?
I think it'll go up significantly.
I think they probably got hampered a little bit by the pandemic as the rest of us did.
I just am one that I'm never betting against Disney, personally.
No, you can't bet against Disney. It wouldn't be a smart bet.
Yeah. They'll figure it out.
As they go along, they'll figure
it out. They'll start putting
original content on the platform.
When they figure it out, you can come down the hall
to HBO Max and tell me about it.
They figured it out already?
Listen,
I turned on HBO Max yesterday.
It seemed like they were celebrating.
It said, hey, here's a special episode of Euphoria.
Just take it.
Did you watch it?
Did you watch it?
I watched some of it.
I didn't watch it.
You would really like it.
I watched season one.
You talking about the new one or the season?
The new one.
Did you watch the season?
No.
I watched season one.
The season was good.
The special episode is phenomenal.
Yeah, it's a lot.
But that was some show-off shit when I saw it.
That episode was some show-off shit.
It was crazy.
It was just a conversation between-
Two addicts at the table in a diner.
Yeah, it was crazy.
You see a man on the gram letting you know Franklin almost here.
Oh, I saw that too.
I was about to say that.
Spring?
You see him letting you know Franklin is almost here.
That last season was one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen in my life.
I watched it three times.
That shit was crazy.
I'm ready.
I'm ready for Blockbuster anything to return.
That's a fact.
And Blockbuster movie rental should return.
Really?
You could use that.
Why not?
Nostalgic purposes, right? It's called HBO Max now. Yeah, that's exactly what it's called. you could use that why not nostalgic purposes right
it's called HBO Max
no
yeah
yeah that's exactly
what it's called
it's called Netflix
didn't they buy
Blockbuster
no I'm saying
all the Blockbuster movies
are on HBO Max
I know
I'm saying
back in the day
didn't Netflix
purchase
Blockbuster
that may be true
I'm not sure
I'm sure there's some truth to that
it is true
when Netflix was mailing the fucking DVDs to our house that was Blockbusters doing I think Netflix purchase blockbuster. That may be true. I'm not sure. I'm sure there's some truth to that. It is true.
When Netflix was mailing the fucking DVDs to our house, that was blockbusters doing, I think.
Maybe.
It's not pulling up, so fuck it.
What else is important?
What else is important?
Nothing?
Oh, Ringer, unions.
Huh?
Podcast unions?
Bill Simmons is union busting.
Really?
I didn't want to get them to see how
Zoom worked either.
Tell them how overtime works,
Bill.
Well, the Twitter site...
Hey, I got the fuck out of there!
A Twitter account called
Ringer Union broke down
how their pay structure is.
They said, during this work stoppage, we want to take a moment to highlight one of our biggest outstanding issues, compensation for the Ringer's hourly employees, a category that includes most of our editorial assistants, copy desk, video producers, and podcast producers.
At the Ringer, hourly employees are paid based amount per week.
The poors.
At the ringer, hourly employees are paid base amount per week.
The poors.
But rather than reflecting 40 hours of work,
peasants,
the base pay is calculated according to a 40-hour regular, in quotations,
Broke fucks. work.
Get a job.
Work at a lower hourly rate.
Sell drugs.
In 10 hours of overtime.
The lighting was bill.
Get a brick.
Hey, get to the stove
the fuck is you talking about
hey get some baggies nigga
melt the seal
put some ghosts on it
some cracky ass things
this nigga giving out some sick ass advice
what the hell is this
so it says hourly employees are unable
to file for additional pay until they've already logged in 50 hours of work, which is typically 40 hours.
What a crock of shit.
And should be, which is the norm.
The ringer calls itself a pay setup 50 hour guarantee.
But this guarantee is artificially suppresses overtime pay.
Hey, go be a waiter.
No, shit.
It might make more.
Boycott bill.
Boycott bill.
Boycott bill.
Boycott bill.
Alright, so a standard pay structure.
That nigga's ringing up you guys' salaries.
With his, what,
200 million? Whatever the fuck he got.
Yeah, that nigga's out ringing it up.
So a standard pay structure is $962 per week, which is 40 hours per week.
Oh, the peasantry.
Base pay is $24 an hour.
Overtime pay is $36 an hour.
I don't even want to read base pay in my contract.
No, base mean nothing.
Max me out.
What the ringer pay is.
Max me out.
Max me out. Max me out. What the ringer pay is. Max me out. Max me out.
Max me out, Don.
They are 40 hours plus the 10 hours of OT per week, which brings it to $17.50 as opposed to $24 an hour.
And their overtime pay is $26 as opposed to $36 an hour.
And I'm on a 50 hour work week. I wouldn't give you niggas a month's
worth of pod vids
for this nonsensical
garbage.
Are you kidding me?
That's tough. Boycott
Bill. Boycott
Bill. Everyone boycott
their jobs.
No, this is crazy. I'm joking around, of course.
You wouldn't know anything about Zoom, though. I'm joking around, of course. I mean, you wouldn't know anything about Zoom, though.
I'm joking around, of course,
but come on, man.
That's fucked up.
Come on.
That's fucked up.
Well.
The come on says it all.
Come on.
Come on, man.
I get it.
According to XXL,

head shit it's been a couple people's stories. I don't believe that story.

Yeah.
Did he die?
Yeah.
Yes, rest in peace.
Yeah.
Yes, he did.
And can we get Darth Vader's name so we can say it?
Here we go.
Dave Prowse.
Prowse was cast as Vader for his imposing physique,
even though the role was voiced by James Earl Jones.
I didn't know James Earl Jones was the voice.
What an important character.
No, I never knew that.
Couldn't hear it?
Use the black man, but don't show him.
Yeah, make the white man.
Put a black mask outfit on.
Put on a black costume, yeah.
These fucking whites.
Boycott Bill.

Boycott Bill.
New York City officially closing indoor dining Monday.
This Monday.

To try to save people
Everybody's abiding by the rules
Like you had indoor dining
All of these months
Everybody's abiding by the rules
You're wearing your mask If you have to go to the bathroom And all this other stupid shit And I'm trying to abide by the rules. You had an indoor diner all of these months. Everybody's abiding by the rules. You're wearing your
mask if you have to
go to the bathroom
and all this other
stupid shit.
And I'm trying to
abide by the rules
and fly young ladies
to me, but you're
making it tough now
because they don't
want to come to New
York when it's closed.
And I'm not that big
of an attraction to
get them here.
You need the indoor
diner?
I need the mint
coconut hookah.
This shit is stupid. No, I feel for the small businesses. Me too. I really feel for them. You need the indoor dining I need the The mint coconut hookah Yeah
This shit is stupid
Nah I feel for the small businesses
Me too
I really feel for them
And I think it's a little odd
When you close indoor dining
But you're allowed to have
Outdoor dining
That's technically inside
Yeah
It's stupid
It's what I've been saying
The whole time
We'll do indoor dining
As long as it's on the sidewalk
It's fucking stupid
All of this shit
Is contradicting
All of this shit
These restrictions are stupid
Like it's just bullshit Like it's a It's a fucking game It's not smart really I of this shit is contradicting. All of this shit. These restrictions are stupid.
Like, it's just bullshit.
Like, it's a fucking game.
I mean, I do think some of it is to cover their own ass to make it look like they're doing something. What the fuck we closing at 10 p.m. for?
Like, that's the only time you catch Corona is at 10 p.m.?
Well, they was doing that prior to the lockdown.
It's all contradictory, though.
That's all I'm saying.
This shit is stupid.
It's dumb.
It's dumb.
It's fucking dumb.
They need to find some financial stimulus for folks.
They just want to save lives, Moe.
No, they don't want to save lives.
That's not what they're trying to do.
Yeah, they are.
These niggas is playing with the money.
Somebody high up pissed somebody off, and now they're up there having a dick swinging
contest between Democrats and Republicans.
It's all fucking stupid.
This shit is dumb, man.
Bottom line.
Rest in peace to the 3,000 people we've lost a day for the past week.
No, for sure.
3,000 a day?
Yes.
Oh, that's why they're closing.
Correct.
The numbers are back up.
Very, very much.
Yeah, because my little spot that I was going to that would sneak me in, test me, and get me out,
they told me to get the fuck out of here.
It's lit in there now.

and again real happy that jeremiah is out and doing well. And rest in peace to Tiny. Tiny, reading that,
hearing the difficulties, it's tough.
It's tough.
I don't need to hear about what Dave
Portnoy has to say about this, because
I understand what he's going to say about this.
Kyrie said he's not
talking to the media.
Huh?
Kyrie said he's not talking to these pawns.
It's going to be a good NBA season
I feel him on that though
It's going to be lit this season
Hopefully
That's going to be a story all year
Kyrie not talking to the press
Because this is going to be shit to talk about
Oh yeah
I think he knows that
That whole LeBron shit
All the reporters want to ask him about that LeBron shit right now
He's just trying to avoid that
But when the season starts It'll be more basketball to talk about.
James Harden is in Houston not meeting up with none of the Rockets?
What do you mean?
Oh, no, he had to get tested first, right?
Oh.
I think he had to get tested.
It's like protocol first.
What's in, I mean, I'm sure it changes per player,
but what is the contract of having to speak to the media with the NBA?
It's just part of your obligation after every game.
But is there like a time limit?
I'm just curious how that works in a contract.
I'm just here so I don't get fined.
Yeah.
That's the best way to do it.
If you want to talk to them, you can just tell them that.
They can't say you didn't talk to the media.
Yeah. There's loopholes. But they probably did something in the context to where that's the thing now. You can just tell them that They can't say you didn't Talk to the media Yeah
There's loopholes
But they probably did something
In the context to where

Like she makin' it barely and my kids is eatin' rarely, man
I can't go on this way
Shit, I'm stressed out, gon' do it, I can't do it
If you put puppies in the oven, do that make them biscuits
Put hungry dogs in the kitchen, will they eat the kittens?
Do you hear me or you listen, is it big difference?
Do you catch the lines or the hooks, or is you still fishin'?
These a couple questions that I need to be answerin' answered like is these backwoods and we giving me cancer

Shit, it make me feel like young Kenneth
From the start I was finished
And how niggas start with a finish
And begin with an end
I can't go on this way
I'm stressed out, I can't take no more, man
I'm moving ass backwards with no floor
I feel asthmatic like
I feel beat, jogging, standing I'm ready to face tragedy My heart and the faith, I don't practice which with no fraud. Turn it down. Can you turn it down? I think Beans can beat Cam.
No.
That's the one.

Beans is in my personal top ten.
Dipset Anthem versus What We Do, What Wins.
Stop it.

I don't know.
I love Beans, but...
Beans is a tough out.
He is.
Oh, no.

But they gon' make it hard
As much as they could
That's why
That's why I hate them
And them crackers
Ain't nothing without paper
They look at us
There's nothing at all
Came too far
And I ain't going back
With for nothing
I ain't being distracted By nothing Midsome size to the kibbeh I ain't going backwards for nothing I ain't being distracted by nothing
Mid-dressage to the kibbeh, I ain't back up from nothing
Mom's still stressing
It ain't the kids, it's the bills stressing
She hold it down on her own
She held me down at the crib, hold me down while I'm gone
She held me down as a kid, hold me down while I'm grown
I can't go on this way
I choose not to fuse, not down on my own
Down off the streets
Running with the hottest label in the industry
The hottest label got a nigga lot of enemies
So now when I go in baseline
A nice size ratchet to throw in waistline
I gotta make mine
My bills ain't getting paid
Kids ain't situated
I can't go on this way
Y'all better make a decision before I
Shout out to Chris.

Oh,

What up?
That's lit.
Oh, when this hit my high school dorm room?
Hey!
Can you burn it down?. You burn it down?
Can you burn it down?
Yes. Simple fact, when I attack my quenches tired I'm attention to ride, every time online I'm faced with the scars beyond this front bar For me to put down my guard, I'm faced with a mirage
Breaking the gas with a 6-8 all day In and out with my paper soon to count the body
So mandatory my elevation, my lyrics like orientation So you could be more familiar with the ninja faces
We won't be basing nothing better than communication Known the damage and how deflammable like gas stations
Sorry I left that ass waitin'
No more procrastination, give up your fate
And get that ass shakin'
I'm bustin' and makin' motherfuckers panic
Don't take your life for granted, put that ass in the dirt
You swear the books was planted
My lyrics motivate the planet
It's similar to information
But thugged out, forgive me Janet
Who's in control? I'm activating your soul
You know the way the game's getting told
Yo, two years ago, a friend of mine
Told me Alize and Cristal blows your mind
Bear witness to the dopest fucking rhyme I flow
Taking off my coat, clearing my throat
I got my mind made up, come on
Get in, get into it
Tito, I'm excited bro
Look at this, listen to how Meb's voice just controls all of this Like, just tone and voice Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, Tito, protection so my fucking sacks won't leak cause nowadays shit's evading the x-rays
sending young motherfuckers to an early
grade I wonder if my terrifying tactics
is torturing them seashells my heart's as
cold as the country electrifying like
thunder I'm just too much rougher raw
with that motherfucking poisonous touch
I'm at MC with lyrics that's the fucking
Bombay you got tense deaths before instant
death like Bob Beck my rhymes I leave a mark on your mind
As the deadly bars spread to your head like sandpans
There's no escape, and I ain't blasting
I use my mental to assassinate assassins
For those asking to pose to laugh at raw maniacal villain
Laughter enhances the chances of the killer
Why is that? Cause smiling faces deceive
You best believe, till he sees I'm the deadliest disease
My quotes rip your throat and make it hard to breathe
Your whole camp's under siege, and I'm Jason Voorhees
And the heat of the night is when I defeat and ignite mics
My verbal snipe, your vocab on site
I'm out the cut, uncut, and raw with no flaws
For all saw my rhymes, hit and split the bricks on the wall
Should already have an idea about the superior sphere
The greater rhyme creator on both sides of the equator
I rock from here to there, to Philly and back To LA on the spot where I rock and bust like straps
As your views get overshadowed when you come in contact Beware, set, and prepare to end the verbal combat
Fuck you losers, why you fake jacks? I'm not your loser
I hit my stick in the with your man The Mr. Mefical from Staten Island
We'll be back after this mess, Daz, don't touch the deck.
Rarely do you see an MC out for justice.
Got my gunpowder and my musket.
Blah out.
Melons get swellings.
I paint mental pictures like Magellan.
Half of my clans repeat felons.
Niggas best protect they joints, the non-nickels.
Man, I stay on point like obstacles.
Now who wanna test the cow?
Then test the cow.
All up in your motherfucking mouth. Heck, Vanger, bookie Catch me on tour with Al Dougie
Method man's hold too tight, you can't pull me
Better take one and pass, or that's that ass
Your vital statistics are low when fallin' fast
Johnny Blaze out to get loot like Johnny Cash
Play a game of Russian Roulette and have a blast
Ay yo, lyrical gas, spittin' the criminal tactics
Non-believers get my dick and gin and two backwards
Let's face it, there's no replacement
Taste this mad underground basement
Shit I'm laced with
Avalanche on your whole camp when I'm splitted
Fuck Doctor Who spot bitch, don't get it twisted
I got connects like Federal Express
To get the fresh back of your blast
Your dogs can't fetch
Got the clear spot from the rear block
Two busts till every nigga teardrop
Men I fear not, hold your nose and blow out till your ears pop
Since your crew souped you to shift now you claim that your gear's locked
Whip, it's underground, cannabis I'm dangerous like John the Bomb Analyst
Slip MC's like keys, my degrees freeze consecutively like EPMD LPs
Click off a shot and hit your fan by mistake
So I erase the whole front row at the wake
I plan my escape in case J.R. Snake bust it
I'm the one pushing the hearse in the first place
Confidence for you shaky ass folks
Pump for Rockefeller for the day he got smoked
Choke off this antidote, got you all hit
Roast by my lyrical Billy Dee for the bomb cold
And I'm out. I am out.
Yo.
That record is that shit.
I didn't know where to cut it.
Nah, you can't cut that record off.
You can't cut it.
Especially with Red at the end.
And if Deck would have went, I'd let it keep going too.
Red at the end.
Man, man.
I think there's a version with the Inspector Deck verse at the end.
I think I've heard that somewhere on YouTube.
Yeah, I gotta find that again.
Cannabis was listening to that Redman verse eating eating his cereal, waiting on Beast from the East.
I know we had some nerdy hip-hop talk earlier, but if we get into Wu-Tang, the craziest part is how you found nine people with that unique voice.
All nine had such a different voice.
Yeah.
That's kind of nuts.
Yeah, it's insane.
It got them to stick together for at least a little while. Yeah. How you found nine people with different voices that all could rap. Yeah. That's kind of nuts. Yeah, it's insane. It got them to stick together for at least a little while.
Yeah.
How you found
now people with
different voices
that all could rap?
Yeah.
It's true.
I thought you were
going to give me
your version.
Yeah, man.
Come on.
I got to play yours.
Yo.
I know you're joking,
but I killed this.
I was actually,
I was really being serious. I thought you were going to have your this. I was really being serious.
I thought I was going to have one of your versions.
I killed this about taking care of another nigga's kid.
No, I'm not even trying to clown you.
That concept had never been done.
I thought that was dope when I heard that.
I was like, oh, no one's ever rapped about this.
This is kind of cool.
That's some weirdo shit, though.
Super weirdo.
It was great.
I feel like there's mad dudes that have gone through that exact situation.
One thousand percent, but I guess it's not cool to that have gone through that exact situation 1000% but I guess
it's not cool to rap
about
