post christmas because i learned a few things since this is our first episode back post christmas
i learned that tinsel is ghetto i swear i promise you i never knew that tinsel on the christmas
street like the spark The sparkly stuff.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a little.
It's a mess.
I don't know if it's ghetto, but it's a damn mess.
No, no, no.
Parks.
It's ghetto.
I went and talked to the blacks.
Yeah, that's old.
That went out years ago.
But I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah, that went out years ago.
I just figured that out, or I was just taught that.
I stopped utilizing it just because it's a fucking mess, but I didn't know it was ghetto.
Yeah, that went out years ago.
Yeah, but then I started looking around at the trees.
And you noticed it.
Oh, this is a thing.
Nobody does tinsel.
That's only my ghetto black ass.
Nobody does that no more.
I liked it.
It's a thing because now it's more about
lights and ornaments.
And I saw something online where they were saying actually now with Christmas trees, less Yeah, no. It's a thing because now it's more about lights and ornaments. Okay.
And I saw something online where they were saying,
actually now with Christmas trees, less is more.
Huh.
Yeah, that's the new thing. That's the trend?
Like the minimalist thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did a minimalist tree.
I did a huge tree, but it was minimally decorated.
Yeah.
And now it's just dead.
It's over?
It's been dead.
Yeah, see, that don't sound bad anymore.
Yeah, it's not bad.
The tree don't need to be overdone.
Yeah, no.
It's a lot of work.
But the women always want to overdo it.
She wanted to get all type of, I forgot what she called them,
the sachets that go around it and all that shit.
She wanted to dress it up.
I put a couple lights on it and called it a day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's how you do it.
Even when I went to my dad's to see his tree,
there was no tinsel there either.
No.
There was no tinsel on any tree that I saw.
Yeah, that went out a long time ago.
I think Cardi had some tinsel on her trees.
She had a whole forest in her trees. I mean, she wrapped good a long time ago. I think Cardi had some tinsel on her trees. She had a whole forest in her trees.
I mean, she rapped good.
See, I expect Cardi to rap.
That was my first
Christmas observation.
And my second one,
round of applause.
I said round of applause.
Here we go.
Yo, man.
The wives,
the wifeys,
and the baby mamas,
most of them them really stepped up
with the gifts this year.
That's what I noticed.
My fiance's always been
good with gifts
but she did a good job this year.
I got an air fryer.
Parks will not
miss the opportunity
to get pussy
from his fiance.
Am I the only one
that notices that?
That's the only place
he's getting it from.
He don't skip a beat.
That's how you keep the spice.
All right, Parks.
We're locked in the house.
You got to make things right.
Tell us how great she is.
She's awesome, man.
She's the best.
She's the best.
She's the best.
She got her a present for Christmas, really, because the air fryer's for her.
Yeah, that's a smart move.
That's gangster.
That's a smart move.
Well, that's what the real Gs do.
Yeah.
They get you the gift that they want.
That they can use as well.
Yeah.
And the air fryer is the greatest gift you can receive.
I've enjoyed it so far.
I did some wings.
I did some fries.
It's the greatest.
It's one of the greatest inventions in the last 50 years, easily.

Yeah.
That's funny, though. I thought about this when I went down with COVID.
And this is just odd.
Why does it hurt as a podcaster when you can't talk to the people?
Because that's what you do.
That is some real corny.
Yeah, I know the people want me to touch this one.
That is some real arrogant shit as a podcaster.
I feel him, though.

He was gonna cook this episode.
Yeah, he was ready.
He was loose.
I saw him pregame.
Yeah.

waiting outside of the box.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw him.
He was hitting everything.
Yeah, yeah, I saw him.
Oh, speaking of hitting everything,
I did see a clip,
and we're gonna start
this podcast soon,
but I saw a clip
of Steph Curry making,
I think it was 600,
600 three-pointers.
That baseline three.
He made it straight for like five minutes, and then he missed one.
I want to send that to my dad for his little Bob Cousy take.
Whoever the hell he was.
Cousy never did this.
Bill Bradley or whoever he was talking about.
Bill Bradley.
Bill Bradley.
Now, gratitude.
Post-Christmas, last part of the year,
they're going to make docs about this year one day.
Docs, movies.
They're going to make movies about this one day,
and I'm going to be in it.
You guys may be in it that's because this is gonna be one to tell our kids about and our grandkids about and well shit I'm already kind of talking to my kids about
it so yeah this is gonna be one of them uh a lot of people didn't make it not to get morbid
that's not what I'm here to do but I'm here to be thankful because a lot of people didn't make it not to get morbid. That's not what I'm here to do.
But I'm here to be thankful because a lot of people didn't make it.
And for at least a third of the year, I was saying to myself, boy, do I really just want to make it to the end of 2020 and see the next year.
So I'm thankful for all of that.
I want to shout out to the fellow podcasters.
I did that at the top.
But man, y'all really held it down this year.
Yeah.
Held it down and y'all continue to do so.
Elliot, BDoc goes without saying.
Nori, Gilly, Wallow.

Who am I missing?
There's more than I'm missing.

let him knock
this was a year of
you found out exactly
what you were made of
this year
facts
and what your people
are made of
yeah
it taught you
resilience
you know what I mean
dedication because podcasters what I mean Dedication
Because
Podcast is creators
I mean for us to
You know
Coming from February, March
When all of this started
We didn't know what was going on
What was happening
What the year was going to look like
You know it was like
They said it was going to be two weeks
Yeah
So it's like
I think we did a great job
At just pushing through
And finding a way to figure things out and being consistent.
And Roof Chris still won't put the tomahawk steak back on the menu.
Is that a COVID thing?
Yeah.
Well, a lot of restaurants aren't stocking a lot of stuff,
especially expensive items because they're not going to sell quick enough.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, they wasn't fully opening, so they wasn't going to have the full menu cost yeah I get it Yeah they wasn't They wasn't fully opening
So they wasn't going to
Have the full menu
It cost them more
Especially the time off
Yeah
But they got some other shit
And this is not an ad
No I get it
Yeah
But yeah a lot of our favorite things
That we've
Are used to doing
In places we're used to
Going around the city
Are no longer there
So it's
You know even going into 2020
Like I said
I'm grateful that we made it through
And that We're not out the woods yet though We're not out the woods yet But we also got to be careful Because we don't know So it's, you know, even going into 2020, like I said, I'm grateful that we made it through.
We're not out the woods yet, though.
We're not out the woods yet, but we also got to be careful because we don't know what we're going into.
Facts.
You know what I mean?
Because coming out of 2019.
I'm not sleeping on 2021.
No, no, no.
You can't.
I'm not just partying when the ball drops. No, no, you can't.
I mean, celebrate a year of making it and celebrate the year for the people that didn't make it and their honor and their memory.
But also just be more present in the moment too.
Yeah.
And be grateful for right now.
It's early for sleepers.
Did you guys watch soul or not sleepers?
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I heard it was great though.
It was really good.
Did we watch what?
Soul's Pixar movie on Disney+.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's really fucking good.
Yeah.
I heard it was.
I'm going gonna check it out
I heard that
part of it is being present
in the moment
got it
be more present man
be more present
be more present
that's what I learned
this shit
be more present
it's good to plan ahead
but definitely appreciate
right now
yeah
I had and beat COVID
my dad had
and beat COVID
then beat some hip replacement knee surgery shit like boy my dad
has been boy has he been just like a tough cookie these last few years um my mom is cool I bought
my mom's house like congratulations this year has been up and down. It's just been like a roller coaster of shit.
Like when you felt good. Well, for me anyway, when I felt good, I never felt the comfort in feeling good for too long.
Because then you get a phone call that a such and such just died and they sleep abruptly.
No, nobody knew nobody was ready for that., it's just been a lot of that.
Yeah.
So I come in here just, like, extremely grateful today.
Not just for me, but for y'all.
Yeah.
For the bro y'all play.
Everybody.
Shout out to the day ones and the first and last time listeners.
Shout out to the lovers, the haters.
Shout out to dude that's probably on Diss track 39
Now
But just
All of y'all
The memers
It's just a lot of y'all
So many important cogs
So many moving parts
And
Parts that are supposed
To not move
That have to go
But I just was telling this to you
Right
Why was I telling this to you?
Because I walked in to see the thing is pod
and was just grateful again.
That's what happened.
Because yeah, Mandy was trying to fucking
get to make all her millionaire jokes
because I was smiling in a good mood.
And I was like, yo, it's so not about that.
Like this position has been bestowed upon
us oh i'm about to get kind of a little randy but i'll stop like this position has been bestowed
upon us and i don't ever take it for granted so i've been in situations we've been in situations, we've been in situations where we had to deliver with nothing for nothing to nothing.
Right.
Yeah.
Like and did it because we loved it and was passionate about it.
So now for this to be working is so many different parts that have to be working together.
Yeah, absolutely.
In unison.
And when you see that happening man it's just like
a thing of joy to fucking watch it would have to be like they felt when they saw hamilton for the
first time like as a creator so yeah i'm excited about that i don't stop smiling about that and
especially ending the year yeah like all them fucking spotify episodes Ranting, raving, all bad business
Like fam, where we are
Where it looks like it's going
Shout out to the business that's about to occur
Some people don't feel too bad
About 2021
Because we've spent half of 2020 preparing for it
Almost all of 2020 preparing for it right almost all of 2020 yeah no i see uh
i see a lot more content i see a lot more presence from us i see a lot more impact i see
culture shifting and transformative business partnerships
and relationships being forged.
Even when I come in here and scream cash,
I'm not going to dick ride.
But yeah, it's thinking changing.
It's ideologies changing.
It's models changing.
It's, hey, you got to get creative in business
if you want to be in business with creatives.
And some of us are going to rep that and stand by it.
Even today with some of the shit we better talk about with the Reebok and all these.
There's shit going on.
Meek and Dirk and 21 and them niggas, they talking about, yo, where the Silicon Valley niggas at?
We need our own platform.
Conversation is changing.
Yeah.
And I'm just real happy
that I'm here to witness it, man.
That's the end of my little mini rant.
That's beautiful.
But shout out to the forward thinkers.
Yeah.
Shout out to the sheep.
Shout out to the wolves.
Shout out to everybody, man.
Yo, there's a place for everybody.
Everybody plays a part.
Everybody plays a part.
Yeah. That's a fact. everybody plays a part and shout out
more importantly shout out to uh shout out to the supporters man the listeners the fans like i i
learned so much and you know it sounds cliche but i've learned so much from the the listenership
and the fans and the supporters because you know we sit here and we do what we do because we love doing it
but when you start
to talk to the people
that follow it
and support it
you start to learn
how much it means to them
and how much energy
that they put into
just supporting it
and I don't think
people talk about that enough
yeah
recipes to the kid
Midnight Soul
that was a supporter
that took his life
earlier this year too
that just
came to my mind
you know what I mean
Things like that
People you talk to online
That put so much
Into what you do
And that love
What you do so much
They don't understand
How much that pushes us too
Yeah
Because we talk about that
When we take time off
We're like
Oh they gonna be pissed off
So they're in our thoughts
We think about them
With every move
That we make
With them in mind
Absolutely So shout out to The listeners and the supporters We love y'all We appreciate y'all They're in our thoughts. We think about them with every move that we make with them in mind. Absolutely.
So shout out to the listeners
and the supporters.
We love y'all.
We appreciate y'all.
And y'all play a bigger role
than y'all.
We saved their lives.
They kind of saved our lives
in a lot of ways.
Absolutely.
1000%.
Yeah.
Even the harsh critics.
Yeah, I love it.
I enjoy it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
All the memes.
Yeah, hilarious. It's part of it. It's part of it. It's all a part of it. I enjoy it. I love it. I love it. I love it. All the memes. Yeah.
Hilarious.
It's part of it.
It's part of it.
It's all a part of it.
Yeah, no.
No, it's true.
All right.
Now, with that said, what do y'all want to talk about?
Well, it was an interesting week of, I guess, online artists and a lot of things going on online and conversations being had.
I guess we can start there.
Online? Tell me, what happened?
Well, apparently
I was deep, deep, deep
in some client business.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Taking care of business.
Deep, deep in client business.
I believe Meek Mill
had an
episode on The chatty.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that was the other night.
That wasn't even over the weekend.
I think that was last night.
Oh, really?
Two nights ago now.
Yeah, two nights.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Yeah, I wasn't in there for all of it, so I can't say.
I just know.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
The chatty is growing.
I will say that.
There's a lot more people on there than there has been
oh no
it's growing
I told you
I don't want to hear
about that beta shit anymore
I'm damn near
at 300,000 followers
on there
that means that
there's probably
a million people
on there now
just that fast
yeah
but we saw that
we saw the slow burn
happening
the invite of the invite
of the invite
it's a domino effect
yeah and it feels different and that's the thing about that that that app feels different week to
week like yeah i know i know but i don't remember that happening with twitter and instagram and the
other apps so rapidly because we didn't yeah we didn't see twitter and Instagram grow. Well, it was different then because there wasn't...
We saw black Twitter get popular.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Twitter, like now we have Twitter to watch Clubhouse.
We had Facebook and MySpace, but it wasn't the same level of engagement.
Right.
So we couldn't comment on it and watch it and talk about it the same way we can now with Clubhouse.
I know that with some of this chatty house stuff that gets leaked off platform, it's judged differently on the other platforms. That's why I say it's tough for me to gauge this, because in that in that meek room, he might have been having a lot of real talk and real spill.
But only the click baitable shit or the moment, the one moment where he might have lashed out
only that stuff gets out or some of the shit where he's talking about maybe a name he probably
shouldn't have said like only that stuff gets out but in the room in the essence of that moment yeah
it might have been a lot of real useful information and i did chime in that room i got in there late
and they was dropped they was dropping it in there. They was giving it up.
It was great shit.
But again, I missed all the whatever the fun shit was supposed to be.
A lot of shit gets taken off context when you're not on the platform.
And that's even happened within Twitter itself,
where old Twitter conversations are being brought up out of context
and making people look terrible.
And some people are terrible.
But sometimes it was a context thing.
You know what I mean?
There were certain jokes and trending things
that people were saying.
There were awful, terrible things to say,
but at that time, it wasn't out of context.
Do you guys think that context comes back
next year and the year after?
God, no.
Because context has been dead.
It has.
I think it's going to die more.
I don't think so.
Well, you're such a fucking pessimist.
I'm just trying to tell you what I'm seeing and how I feel.
Because now you can literally be sitting, you're on an app, literally.
Because I say things get taken out of context on Twitter where it's words and you're reading it.
You can't hear how the person is saying it.
But now you can hear what I'm saying.
You hear me.
And that's still being taken out of context.
So now it's like, all right, so what are we doing now you're hearing me now you're hearing it
come out of my I'm telling you out of my mouth and you're still taking that out
of context people been taking audio out of context for hundreds of years this is
what I'm saying so I don't see it well I'm not trying to I know there's a
business and taking things out of context absolutely I don't think I don't
think that business is gonna die no. No, that's growing.
That's booming.
But for the rest of us
that don't participate in it,
I mean, we do our part
to keep it alive,
but it's a hard fight.
It just depends on
how far you take it
out of context.
When you get to canceling people
for things that are jokes
or taking extremely
out of context,
that's trash.
Yeah.
And I see more of that is all I'm saying. Yeah. Because like we said, it's business. Yeah. And I see more of that.
This is all I'm saying.
Yeah.
Because like we said,
it's business.
I feel like people are getting
a little tired of the cancel shit though.
No, no, no.
The cancel thing,
people are like,
shut up.
Unless it's something
absolutely insane.
That's different.
But for the most part,
I think we did get away from that.
We spoke about that
earlier in the year.
And I think we did a good job
of moving away from that. You cannot agree with somebody, but everything year and i think we did a good job of moving
away from that like you cannot agree with somebody but everything is not canceled exactly i mean
yeah that's all yeah and the gotcha culture same thing you know hey you said this last week
right this week i said this right all that shit yeah i guess there's a name for that on gotcha
culture gotcha culture yeah for sure yeah i changed my mind yeah exactly i'm saying something different
now yeah um while we're on chatty house the chatty house dominating the headlines yeah
i did it again this weekend and provided amazing compelling content for the internet
you working on your day off come on man a day after Christmas Joe Budden
strikes again
I saw you trending
and got a little nervous
I'm not gonna lie
I didn't get nervous
I was just
business as usual
there's always that
there's always that
that crew of friends
like
that's
from the trending
yeah
I'm the total opposite
I'm the total opposite friend
I see Joe Trend
and I laugh
mission accomplished
cause there's some people
they're just
their sensors
are just like
they're sensitive
to this type of stuff
some people got
publicist brain
some people are
a bit more worrisome
than others
some people have
bad anxiety
all was
all was amazing in the land of amazing in the land of the free.
Now, I was in Houston when all this occurred.
Oh, man.
You're enjoying a nice vacation.
Client business parks.
Right.
I did not have the luxury of vacaying.
Intense negotiations.
Don't violate your client privilege.
Come on, come on.
Yeah, I've got NDAs.
I've got NDAs all over the place.
Hey, add here, subscribe here,
sponsor, swipe up.
You know the routine.
Yeah, so I was out there
and as soon as I land and check in,
kill a few minutes, kill some time.
Oh, there's Youngberg in the room.
Let me go say what up to the homie
Right
Which is what you
Normally would do
Yeah I mean
I thought it was cool
Yeah
And it wasn't
It wasn't cool
It wasn't
Did you start to read the room
Not really
I tried to read the room
Yeah
I tried to read the room
He told me
Nah that room is over
That room closed
I mean I tried to
I pulled out all the tricks
yeah no
he said that room is over
it's a new room now
read this one
right
got it got it got it got it
that was funny
that was funny in the morning
in Houston
when I had a very important
client meeting coming up
I don't really know
what to say about it
because there's nothing
to say about it
like
yeah
I don't want to Joe it no I don't want about it because there's nothing to say about it. Like, I don't want to Joe it.
No.
I don't want to Joe this.
There's nothing to say, man.
Yeah, and it's okay to have, you know, you can disagree.
I think, and it's only with our culture, I think, that we feel like we can't disagree with each other.
And it just be that.
Like, it's just a disagreement.
Like, you read something
the wrong way and you took something out of context and you head back to that word
and that's not what it was and fine that's okay that you took that out of context and that's not
what i was doing that's not what i said it's not how i meant it but and you know it just in our
culture it seems like there's this thing of where it has to be a uh like a clash or a bump of heads where it's like
it's not even that type of energy though an altercation yeah it's like i'm not even it's
not that type of energy we can disagree it can even get loud you know but but it's like
i think that we it's important that more than ever to me personally as black men
more than ever to me personally as black men we just have to understand that it's okay for us to disagree it's okay for us to see things from different perspectives and point of views but
we have we always have to keep in mind and keep a certain level of respect certain level of just
like you know energy right let's just keep a certain level of energy because we come from a combative culture, number one.
We come from a competitive culture.
So it's like, but at all times,
I think respect and the right energy
has to stay in place
because once we do that,
we can sift through all the bullshit.
It has to stay in place
because I've been reporting on death all year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a problem with the country in general
not just our our culture hip-hop culture like people don't meet in the middle ever yeah right
it's you're wrong i'm right team this team that right right come on and i mean i did try to listen
with with uh an open mind and open ears and i have been seeing a few other whispers of,
you know,
with them calling Vlad
to the carpet
and academics to the carpet
on how they choose
to do media.
Mm-hmm.
I've seen a few
with my name
bunched in there.
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean,
I've sat back and said,
well,
is our podcast toxic
to the culture?
Like I do understand
when people say that.
Sure.
I just don't think
it's applicable
here or to me.
And if you do feel like
it is toxic
that's fine too
but it's a way
you express that.
Yeah.
It's a way you go about
just you know
talking to people
and just saying
yo listen I didn't agree with that.
And that's fine.
Like everybody, we're not going to say the right things.
Nobody's perfect.
We're not going to get it right every single time.
Don't make for a very boring universe.
And that's what I'm saying.
So it's okay to have your ups and downs and your disagreements and your agreements.
That's fine.
But I think it's more important now than ever because there's so much opportunity for us.
You know what I mean?
And it's like so many eyes and ears and like the world is watching our culture.
If we haven't learned anything through this pandemic, we've learned that hip hop culture saves the world.
Right.
So it's like it's important for us to just keep a certain level of integrity and respect in our culture, especially amongst each other.
You know what I mean? And that's my whole thing. keep a certain level of integrity and respect in our culture especially amongst each other you know
i mean and now and that's my whole thing like coming off of that it was just it was just a
certain level of energy that i was disappointed wasn't present at all times you know i'm saying
and now and that's just what i took for it i'm like i just didn't like the nice way to say that
you know i mean it was like i didn't like it i understand like if people don't agree with things
that said we can disagree forever. We have disagreed forever.
Sure.
But when you keep a certain level of energy and respect present at all times, you can get through anything.
And that's just my belief.
Well, one, I don't take I don't take this for granted.
I don't take I don't take.
The responsibility that comes with having a platform this large for granted.
It's a big responsibility.
a platform this large for granted mm-hmm it's a big response I think it would have been real easy to reply like I said with selfishness ego and pride in that
conversation and that would have served as a distraction to what the greater
goal is for me I can't speak for anybody else. Right, right. Right?
But when you take that ego and that selfishness
and that pride and all of that evil shit out of it,
and you're just grateful that the people
kind of have thrust you into this position,
because this wasn't me.
Like, I planned to do a pod.
I could have never foresaw this
happening this way right it could never be me the guy that spent the majority of
his career hated the majority of his career as the guy that they didn't want
to succeed I'm never gonna be arrogant enough to think that this was solely Joe's genius
that's why we're here no I was saying in a room earlier like I'm blessed to not be a worker and
to be a boss and an owner today because it means I'm not really answering to anybody
but the fans and the people because they are the people that bestowed this position
upon me and with that you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that you don't agree with
right you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that's awfully vague not the clearest in their
point you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that's a little more aggressive than you'd like them to be you're just gonna have to listen
to niggas right because it's niggas that put you in this spot i think i was just giving this speech
off mic a few weeks ago to rory saying listen some of the things that uh some people want to
beef about those aren't the things that joe will beef about for this exact reason.
Like, no, I'll let you know when we on high alert.
I'll let you know when danger seems imminent.
Like, I'll let you, I will let you know all of that.
There's no need for anybody to worry.
Like, there's proper protocol to go through when you feel that those things are happening.
But in just critiquing culture?
Right.
Yeah, no.
And critiquing culture is, again, there's going to be disagreements in that.
Of course. Because people are going to feel like, oh, no, I like that, or I didn't like that, or I agree with that, or I don't agree.
But again, the right energy.
Yeah, but you artists are going to have to learn how to go about those disagreements.
I'm just going to be frank with you.
There's been remnants lurking of black media versus artists beef brewing.
It's been brewing for a while.
is artists beef brewing it's been brewing for a while uh it's maybe come off as arrogance on some of media's part to say hey y'all need us like y'all can't really drop without us so we should
be respected in a way and when i hear that i get where they're coming from I don't really stand by it but I get
it but the flip side of that is the people that we hold at the highest of standards and the people
we support and the people that we champion they frown upon black media they frown upon black media. They frown upon doing it.
They somehow think they get to edit editorial.
They somehow think that they get to have a whole bunch of opinions
on shit that is not really present the other way around like media don't
get to call the rappers and say when we have an issue with something all we get to do is talk about
it like there's some things that go along with let me not get too randy right now but this has been brewing for a little bit i've heard the
breakfast club address it when that meg shit popped up i've heard ax said with a few different
niggas in terms of how they expect him to go about things and now we have this instance here with
somebody who just sounded a little uninformed having an issue with something that with a having an issue with something that
joe had an issue with i had an issue with how that yada interview went if that was what the
issue was about joe had an issue with it too by the way yeah that was my very first interview and
it was a better way to get that message across to the youth right i think i said that on here before
i don't think any i don't think i said anything in that conversation
that should have been a surprise to anybody i think i've spent when i take a long hard look
in the mirror i think i've spent a good amount of time on the wrong side of the generation uh
gap merging like i speak from a guy that's been on that side of maybe being angry at how hip-hop was evolving.
I don't think that's been me in a little while.
Like, y'all can tell me if I'm wrong.
No, I think that's not true.
I understand that being the reputation still.
Yeah, it's hard to shake.
Because on the internet, it's hard to shake certain things.
Also, getting back to the context, like, in the conversation that we had about the boom-bap thing,
like, sometimes you're just creating some shit to talk about and make some jokes about and laugh about and it gets
maybe it gets taken too far in our conversation maybe it gets taken out of context but sometimes
we're just doing shit to have a conversation man yeah i know but if you know where my heart
lied then you know i really never want to talk about any of you.
Like some of y'all weren't
here for the inception of this pod,
but that's how this pod was birthed.
It was birthed as a retired
rapper not even
knowing how to talk about this shit.
Not even caring enough,
not even understanding why this had to
go out, and it just grew that way.
So, yeah, sorry sorry now i'm here and
i gotta talk about shit i don't want to talk about yeah right sorry you guys yeah and again even
that's fine as long as the right energy and respect of course it's fine you of course it's
fine you would want to be you would want to be grateful hey when i first heard that hove was
about to be the president in Def Jam,
I got super excited that it was an artist now that might understand some shit
coming to be the president on the back end.
Like for me, I would be excited that there's an artist dude
that kind of understands some of the shit with artistry that can talk about it.
And still offer critique, but hopefully in a way that you can at least respect their opinion on.
You know what I'm saying?
In the past, people that were critiquing music
were rarely people that were creating music
or have created music.
So when they offered,
yo, this bar in here was trash
or whatever the fuck their little critique was,
it's like, who the fuck are you to talk about it?
Right.
But when there's people like Joe
or even myself that are active in music and we're offering
a critique, I feel like you should feel good about it in a way, even if it's a bad critique.
But not only that, and it's just something that I've spoken with Joe about personally,
it's always going to come across to other artists a certain way because no matter what,
Joe is an artist first.
True.
They still view him, like when Joe speaks
about other rappers
and their albums
and their songs
and he doesn't like them,
they're always going to go to,
well, nigga,
I didn't like your shit either.
Right.
That's fine.
That's fair.
You know what I'm saying?
Cool.
Sure.
But that's what it really is.
It's like people look at that
and that's what they know you for.
So they're always going to think
that when you say something
about an artist or somebody, it's from a disgruntled artist's point of view.
Yeah.
You understand?
It's not from a point of view of, no, I went through that and I don't want these other artists to go through that.
I want them to look out for this and be careful about how they go about doing this.
Because I did it.
I made those mistakes and I know what can happen as a result of that.
I also feel like sometimes our critiques, we understand what may have led to this situation happening.
Maybe that gets lost sometimes in translation.
Maybe sometimes we're completely wrong about what may have led to this song
not being as good or whatever it is.
But Joe, all of us that are on this podcast and work in the music business,
so sometimes we can be like, oh, man,
it seems like the label dropped the ball on this one,
or they hired the wrong guy to produce this one or mix this one,
or whatever it may be.
And we've been completely wrong on a lot of things.
That's the beauty in it.
That's what makes it what it is.
It's like we're wrong, we get more information,
we talk about it, and we move forward.
Man, what do you do when all of the black media says,
okay, we're not talking about you?
And then let people go back to talking to white media
that really doesn't care about the world.
Because it ain't but four of y'all
to get the white media you so preciously sought.
It's four of you.
And there's a reason that this podcast
wasn't predicated on doing interviews with artists,
which I tried to say nine times in that call too.
I don't speak to
artists. I don't even know
this shit that you're talking about. I talk
to niggas that I enjoy.
People that I like. There would never be a need
to diss them face-to-face.
I can't think of any artist
that we've ever had here that we didn't
fuck with.
Hey, that's a blessing.
Yeah.
It's a blessing that we're not in the business of having to speak to people that we may not want to speak to but thank god i know how to
go about that pretty well yeah and thank you for uh dying on that hill because it would be easy for
us to just become the interview podcast but we don't fam because who that be easy for us to just become the interview podcast, but we don't.
Fam, because that's enjoyable for who?
Right.
What interview out of 20 is enjoyable? We got to be cool with the publicists.
We got to be the promo run pod.
And this is no offense to anybody that does it.
No doubt.
There's value in everybody doing it.
Yeah, absolutely.
But what we do, it's just different. Yeah know i mean like it's just it's different and i think
that that's what makes it work is that people know that when somebody sits down with us it's
because oh they really fuck with them you know i mean they talk about them all the time and now
they're finally in the room and they're able to share some of the jokes and some of the with the
person that they talk about yeah and i think that's what makes it dope. But again, man, you know, I love this culture for many reasons.
I love the fact that we are so competitive.
Mm-hmm.
I think, again,
sometimes things go a little left with energy.
Yeah.
And even that is expected at times.
Sure.
But...
It's a passionate...
Absolutely.
Art is passionate.
Absolutely.
But at the same time,
present in the moment. Look at the year. year yeah look at everything we're going through if this doesn't change you this was a year of change
as far as i'm concerned yeah whether it be bad or good change it was a year of change
you have to change the way you go about things and the way you approach things
because at the end of the day it's what is it really about pick your greed your grievances
wisely exactly exactly yeah fam i have so much shit planned for 2021 yeah be careful we had a
lot planned for this year too facts you know i mean i know but all we can ever do is put ourselves
in the position to see if the universe will allow something. Absolutely. Like, we could plan, but we got to get to the spot.
We got to run the right route.
Absolutely.
For that ball to get there.
Right, right.
Even in regular years, it was the same apply.
You know, we had shit planned, but some shit happened.
Right.
You know, this year was obviously a much grander scale of that,
but we don't get to choose what happens in the world, unfortunately.
Right.
So we got to just adjust.
I finished this year, and I lost jobs.
Like, I'm doing so okay that it didn't really hit me
until the end of the year that I lost jobs.
Like, Love & Hip Hop had to actually stop recording mid-season,
no reunion, no nothing, no plan.
Just go home.
Here's your little cute navy blazer that you were wearing.
You really killed him in this one.
Watch your smirk.
Watch your smirk, Savon.
Rory not here.
Savon should be on Love and Hip Hop.
I got a clear view.
He ain't got no love.
Or hip hop.
Because you can't go in there and be the guy to get dumped.
Well, I did.
You made it the thing.
That's actually the best part of the show.
My sauce is all over the culture.
It's all over the culture.
Yeah, you made that hot.
But I lost that job.
Fucking revolt.
We had to stop filming.
Like, shit happened this year.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah.
It did.
But again, present in the moment.
Find new ways.
Present in the moment. Yeah, it did. Yeah. It did. But again, present in the moment. Find new ways. Present in the moment.
Present in the moment.
Oh, man.
I want to see what summer 2021 looks like.
Oh, man.
If this shit.
If this shit.
If they let us be.
If it's open.
Oh.
Greatest summer ever.
God willing, the vaccinations or whatever, maybe the shit dies down, whatever the fuck
happens.
Greatest summer ever.
It's going to be incredible.
The greatest summer ever.
I'm going on record right now saying that if the world is opening summer 2021, it is's gonna be Incredible The greatest summer ever I'm going on record right now
Saying that if the world
Is opening summer 2021
It is going to be
The greatest summer ever
Something else
The greatest summer ever
I'm never coming home
My nigga they
Oh baby
They gonna be letting
What
You wanna fuck right here
The amount of fucking
That's gonna happen
We might be locked down tomorrow
Like we can fuck right here
The amount of fucking
That's gonna happen
When the world opens back up. Greatest summer
ever. Oh, there's going to be cum everywhere.
Everywhere.
You're not going to want to touch nothing.
Nowhere.
That's hilarious. It's going to be great.
Yeah, it's going to be like
they're on a conveyor belt.
Yeah, absolutely.
In and out. Now, I don't think
that the world will be open this way in the summer.
But shit, if I catch it in the fall, fall 2021, same mix for me.
We here.
It don't matter if it happens in January of 2022.
Right.
People are going to be fucking.
It's going to be crazy.
It's going to be crazy.
It is.
Y'all think touring?
We still don't think touring's back this year, right?
I think certain venues and states.
Well, listen.
Atlanta, Miami, and Houston are up, up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I said certain venues and states.
Actually, all I've heard about Houston was how everybody's going to Houston for New Year's Eve.
And then I was like, well, shit, where y'all hearing this?
And then they told me oh it's
all atlanta niggas saying are we going to houston i'm saying all right so that's atlanta that's
houston and then the rest of the people saying yo miami is up for new year's eve and i'm like okay
this makes sense the three places that are open probably gonna be a little nuts yeah yeah i think
certain certain venues and states i think uh you'll be allowed
to perform i think also that even states like new york or california that may have had stricter or
currently going through stricter lockdowns will hopefully the vaccine is successful and properly
distributed or whatever and people take it whatever or if the trend of the coronavirus
kind of dying down in the summer was not just because of the lockdowns. Maybe it's because
of a weather thing, an outdoor thing.
I think we might see even places that
are locked down open up a little bit for the
summertime.
I see them saying
that the new strain of
COVID can potentially
blind you temporarily.
That's got to suck.
I mean, everything I've read
is that it's more transmissible, but not necessarily
more deadly or whatever.
So, still scary, no doubt.
Yeah. Cool.
This shit is going to continue to mutate.
If there's a chance that
a new strain
blinds you temporarily,
buddy,
all bets are off. You thought the little A new strain blinds you temporarily, buddy.
All bets are off.
You can still feel the taste.
You thought the little smell taste thing was bothersome.
Not seeing. Not being able to see.
For 37 minutes.
Out of the clear blue sky.
Yeah, that's scary.
That's scary.
They are killing Stevie Wonder for filing for divorce, by the way.
I haven't seen that.
I read so many stupid-ass comments about that.
I don't know if he's really fouling for divorce.
You know how much of a piece of shit you got to be for a blind man
to never want to see you again?
Yeah, the internet has to relax sometimes, man.
Like, you're a piece of shit.
Oh, my God.
I'm just like, damn, I didn't think about it like that.
But okay, I get it.
I didn't see this.
Yeah, the internet had a field day with that.
But I mean-
I would want to hear from Stevie Wonder as to why he's getting a divorce.
Like, what's wrong?
Listen, man.
Listen.
I get it.
That's Stevie, man.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, I get it.
That's Stevie, right?
Yeah.
It's run its course. It's over. Shit happens, yeah.'s like Stevie, right? Yeah. It's run its course.
It's over.
Shit happens.
Whether I can see or not, it's run its course.
If a new strain of COVID blinds you temporarily, I'm going to stay home.
After this trip.
How temporary is it?
After this next trip.
Yeah, how temporary?
Oh, I don't know.
A couple of minutes?
I don't care how long it is.
I'm not a fan.
Oh, I close my eyes for a couple minutes during the day anyway,
so it's okay.
I cannot see.
I expect to see some shit
when I open them back, though.
If I open up
and anything is just all white.
You're like, all right, all right, fam.
I'm ready to see again.
Yeah, sir.
Sorry, buddy.
That's scary, though.
What else is happening?
Oh, got it.
God, we got to put on
our whole Avenger cape.
Oh, yeah.
Do we?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe just you.
Okay.
You guys want to take some shit someone said out of context?
Let's do it.
Yeah, let's do it.
Jay-Z don't got 30 songs like that.
Okay, so Young Thug recently interviewed on Million Dollars Worth a Game
with Gillian Wallow and had a lot to say about a lot of things yeah
see niggas never come sit here and do that like when they just got word vomit right like we just
be at we had to push it out of pusha t like niggas never come in another thing about that label
they've been sucking dick whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa um do you want to hear it yeah
sales when you're talking about nothing we're talking about anthems we're talking about songs Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you want to hear it? Yeah.
We talking about anthems.
We talking about songs they know.
Like, when I perform, I got 30, 40 songs that the whole stadium going to know.
They going to know these motherfuckers.
All 30 songs.
Then that's some powerful shit.
Yes, sir.
There's not a lot of motherfuckers that can say that. Nigga, Jay-Z ain't got 30 songs like that.
But you did with the whole stadium for the same. You got a lot of motherfuckers That can say that Nigga Jay-Z ain't got 30 songs like that But you with the whole stadium for the same
He got a lot though
Yeah
I'm just saying like
I know he do
He probably got 50 of them bitches
I'm just saying
He walked that back pretty quick man
Yeah
Thug realized who he said
It was like
Wait
Jay-Z
Yeah I'm not talking about him
I'm just saying like somebody Whoever y'all think is the big dog, like they don't got the joints I got.
So I understand.
I get it.
How are we covering this?
The out of context way or with context?
Let's respect the artist.
Yeah.
Let's keep it in context.
Okay.
So in context, of course, he was just using Jay-Z as an example of a bigger act who you would assume would have those records that he's up there with them.
I know who he was talking about.
I won't say it, but I know exactly who Thug was talking about.
Oh, come on.
I know who he was talking about.
But I wouldn't say that because I'm not that type of guy.
I never tried to know who he was talking about until you just said that, and now I may have a name in mind.
Yeah, I think I know who he was.
I know exactly who he was talking about.
Would it possibly be that?
Well, I didn't even think that he might be talking about somebody.
No, he's talking about somebody.
For real?
Absolutely.
But why?
A New Yorker?
No.
Oh, okay.
Because it's been a talk amongst artists that I've been privy to be in a room and in studios with, and they've said the same thing about this artist.
Okay.
Shut up.
Absolutely.
Well, Thug later went on to say that he would do verses against Wayne.
Is that who you're talking about?
No.
Oh, that's who I thought you were talking about.
No.
And I mean, I don't need to say what I think about that.
I've already told y'all, when the artists drop who they feel they would want to go against,
that's the light they see themselves in.
And they got their own little history.
It's not my job to say how I think that battle would go.
I don't think we'll get it.
Right.
So I'm not going to waste time there.
And I'm not going to waste time on what I think Young Thug thinks about
Hov's catalog.
Because I'll be maturing and take him at face value.
Thug is very aware of Hov's catalog.
He walked it back immediately.
Yeah, yeah.
Because he wasn't talking about Jay.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
He was just trying to say.
It just came out wrong.
He was just trying to say, He just came out wrong. He was just trying to say like the artists
that are legendary
that y'all,
you know,
are your goats.
They don't have
the amount of bangers
in the anthems
like I do.
That's sometimes true.
Absolutely.
So the person
that you think
he's talking about
is a legendary person?
Yeah, for sure.
Absolutely.
Do you think that
Thug has enough joints
to go against whoever
you think he's talking about?
In a type of versus type of thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right, we got to actually...
I'd be curious to...
I think so.
I think Thug has a lot of versus,
a lot of features.
Oh, you're not talking about...
Not three stacks.
No way.
No. Oh, okay. No, no, not three stacks. No way. No.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no, no.
I'm just throwing shit at a wall.
And to go back to that,
I totally believe
that he does not know
any Andre 3000 records.
Because in speaking to
a lot of people from Atlanta,
Andre 3000 wasn't as
coveted and as praised
in Atlanta
by people from Atlanta
as he is for people outside of Atlanta.
I'm staying out of Atlanta business.
No, no, no.
This is a real thing.
I've heard this before.
Yeah, like a lot of...
I can't speak to it.
More influence in Atlanta
comes from Jeezy,
comes from Gucci,
than Andre G.
This is like honestly
and when I was speaking
to somebody about that
I said damn
I never really
looked at it like that
and he was like
absolutely
and I understand it
but it's just like
I just didn't understand
it coming from Thug
because he had to
have heard
the
I don't want to say
comparisons to
3000 but
the
damn we would love to hear you and 3000 on a joint together.
So in hearing that so much in Thug's career,
I would think that he would go and just do the,
do the knowledge on 3000's catalog.
But as far as him saying like he,
he didn't,
wasn't influenced and he wasn't,
I definitely can understand.
I can see him not being influenced.
I would find it hard to believe just because of how big of a,
it wasn't just like a niche hip-hop phenomenon.
Outkast was like a major fucking pop group.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I'm pretty sure my young nieces know words to Outkast songs
without being fans necessarily.
Right.
But I'm just saying in Atlanta,
the bigger influence
Came from guys like
Jeezy and Gucci
You know what I mean
It didn't come from
And Swag and Nieces
Come on don't do that
Yeah you know what I mean
Yeah give them some
Give them some credit
Yeah so I understand that
But um
I'm excited
They're putting this
While on Gilead
Putting this episode out
The full
Episode tonight
So
I'll check it out
And hear what else he had
because I'm pretty sure
this was the one that
this did what they wanted it to do.
For sure.
That statement,
that caption did
what it wanted them to do.
But it'll be interesting
to hear him go deeper into that.
You got to look to hear
who else.
What if he doesn't?
I'm saying it would be
interesting to hear it.
I'm not saying he will,
but it would be interesting
to hear what else was said
around that part of the conversation.
Yeah.
Has Young Thug ever gotten a whole verse?
No, I don't believe so.
No.
So why do we always stop the list
at Game and 2 Chainz?
Because they're the only two
that have publicly stated
that they want a verse
that haven't gotten a verse.
Yeah.
Young Thug has never publicly stated that.
And also, he's from a younger generation, so it's not as expected two chains in in in game got it yeah
got it all right um all right what else is in music uh jay stone confirms that nipsey has another
album that is definitely happening that was great to hear yeah um well i could have confirmed that one for you
yeah that was that was great just just getting confirmation from somebody real confirmation yeah
that was just that was just great to hear um and again man it's you know i'm i still you know every
time i hear nip and see pictures of him it's still so unbelievable man like it still is like
something that you know is just in the back
of your mind like damn you know i mean this was this this and we were together when this happened
when nipsey passed and it it it on tour yeah it really it really it speaks to someone
when you could see people who never met him, how affected they were by his passing.
Like,
and I think everyone was really,
really bothered by Nipsey's passing.
Absolutely.
So it's good to hear that more.
We'll get more of his work,
but we'll hear more of him.
I'm sure he has quite a bit in the stash.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All artists do,
honestly.
Yeah.
Hopefully it's not stuff that he wouldn't have wanted to come out.
You know what I mean?
But it's just good to have that.
For sure.
And it's good to be able to still feel that energy and hear him.
And again, man, you know, this is one of our brightest stars,
one of our rising legends that we lost way too soon.
Yeah.
So it's just good to know that we'll get to enjoy a lot more of his work.
Yeah. to know that we'll get to uh enjoy a lot more of his work yeah and selfishly i you know uh selfishly i just feel like nip worked enough to where you don't feel like this is something that's just
being thrown together oh no off of scraps that were sitting around these are the people that
yeah we're close to him that's why it feels that had intimate conversations that you know business
they know they're not going to mishandle this.
They're not going to, you know, disrespect his legacy and his art.
I think they'll handle it the right way and they'll present it to the people the way he probably would have wanted it to be presented to us.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Same.
That's the beauty of being independent and family-based in your business is that you have the right people handling your legacy for sure not some major
label it's out of touch right right just throw a lot of people on your shit yeah no no no and maybe
they just gotten a lot better with uh posthumous releases since dead wrong came out like because
i really enjoyed pop's album yeah well it's it's it's easier now even when they announced the
features i was scared like Like, oh, God.
Going to the studio, I mean, you were young enough to be pre-Pro Tools era,
or at least at the beginning of Pro Tools era.
It was a different thing going to the studio.
Like, now people just may record some shit here and there, whatever,
and you got a bunch of shit in the stash.
And back then, you went to the studio, recorded the song that you wrote,
and then you left.
You know what I mean?
Like, you weren't just hanging out.
You owned a studio. People were creating a lot more than they were wrote, and then you left. You know what I mean? You weren't just hanging out. You owned a studio.
People are creating a lot more than
they were then and recording a lot more.
Well, hopefully this comes
next year sometime.
J-Stone
has an album out now, so go check
that out. Shout out to J-Stone.
Shout out J-Stone, all money in.
I'm kind of missing

Checking out the guys
We miss y'all too man
Sure
Big time
Listen
More on this
Thug
Wants to battle Wayne i don't think that that
will occur but i've been wrong before how do y'all think that plays out
wayne is just too many years of records and music it's just way too much more To pull from Way too much more
I love Duggo but
Yeah
I think Wayne's
A lot for anybody to
Handle
Yeah
Just way too many
Hot boys ever
Early cash money
But if you're an artist
Do you want to punch up
Or do you want
The best match up for you
I learned from you Joe
You should punch up right
Absolutely punch up
You punch up You argue up You date up I was punching up, you argue up, you date up, you fuck up.
I was punching up.
I thought I was hitting niggas I was better than.
Always up.
All this time.
Damn it.
Always up.
Always up.
If you're going to cheat, cheat up.
Come on.
Stop.
If you're going to cheat.
Stop with this.
Yo, stop this.
Cheat up.
I know you're picking it up because Rory's gone.
I'm just saying.
No, no, no.
Stop this nonsense.
Listen, if you're going to cheat, make sure it's worth it.
Niggas don't cheat up. Niggas don't cheat.
Niggas don't.
And that's how niggas end up in bad positions.
You know what I mean?
You got this booger wolf leaking your news.
A what?
A booger wolf.
You know, the chick that you just like, yo, don't let nobody know we be smashing.
Like, you trash, but you got a fatty.
A booger wolf.
You know what I mean?
You run around with her.
Now she leaking all your text conversations And now Your beautiful queen Is at home
Like really
Like this is what you doing
Fellas
These fucking
Possessive women
Are
Claiming men
Faster than ever now
Yeah
Like there's an epidemic
There's something
Going on out there
Man
Where you talk for
A few days
Maybe a good
Nice weekend Of communication communication and they hit you
with this so what we doing and then they tell all their friends that they're dating you yeah
nigga you dating you ain't know no no no that's wrong no no it's not accurate that's wrong that's
so not wrong i mean that's so wrong it's not right listen when women find out I'm 39 with no kids, I'm just like prime meat.
I'm serious.
They're like, wait, no kids?
I'm like, nah.
They're on you?
They want to conquer you.
Bro, they be trying to sneak,
pull the rubber off.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
They want to complete the project.
No, no, no, no.
You caught them punching holes
through the rubber
while you were looking?
We not doing that.
Well, that's why I feel like such a high schooler having these talks but i've been thoroughly having
to explain hey no you meet somebody that's kicking it it's like the exchange of phone numbers yeah
but they're not acknowledging the kickin stage out there today i'm learning i'll keep this brief for uh the adults out there you exchange
numbers you're kicking it with somebody you see him a couple of times you enjoy each other
you're dating but dating is loose you can date mad people yes that's what dating is but today
they've made dating the exclusive term and talking the loose term see for me dating you date whoever you want and then when
you've narrowed down your choices that's the person you're talking to now talking is a bit
more exclusive there are more rules that come into play this is the precursor to relationship
everyone knows the person you're talking to not you talk because you're talking to mad people and
then you date this person it just doesn't make sense to me.
But I've been having that argument.
But listen, these possessive women are staking claim to men quickly.
I'm just warning you men out there for 2021.
Be careful.
Navigate properly. And I do appreciate the more aggressive vocal women that let you know exactly what they want.
I like, I appreciate that.
I hate you monsters
and the police.
No,
I appreciate that.
The police need to arrest you.
I appreciate that.
I need to make,
I need to make,
I'm going to start
making citizens arrests.
No,
you got to appreciate
when a woman is up front
and very forward
about what she needs.
Oh,
no,
that's rapey.
No,
but why you don't like that?
Because if I,
if I'm,
if,
now you're about to make me sound like that guy.
No, I just think it's more... I think it's better for both of us.
I'll let you know when I want to fuck
or if I want to fuck.
Okay.
If not, everything could just be cool
and calm and collective and passive.
You don't have to be so forward.
Okay.
You don't have to jump my bones.
You don't have to be aggressive.
It's annoying.
You talking about sexually or just... Any-ally. You don't like an aggressive my bones. You don't have to be aggressive. It's annoying. You talking about sexually or just?
Any, any-ally.
You don't like an aggressive woman sexually?
It depends.
It depends.
I don't like it if I'm knocked out sleeping and you just start yanking on my fucking.
I don't like you yanking on me at any juncture.
No, no.
Oh, no.
Yank on me like.
Then don't yank anything on me.
Some girls think they can't break the dick.
They can break the dick.
Yeah, no.
But yank on me when it's ready though.
Don't yank on me when it's preheating though. Like my shit preheating. Don't yank anything on me. Some girls think they can't break the dick. They can break the dick. Yeah, no, but yank on me when it's ready, though. Don't yank on me when it's preheating, though.
Like, my shit preheating.
Don't yank on my shit.
Yeah, no, I kind of just want to be left alone
until we both have established what we're trying to do.
But I'm talking about the women that are up front
about what they want from the situation.
Well, that's a lot of them now.
Yeah, but I'm just saying I respect that
because that is a conversation.
Yo, how tall are you and do you got monies?
Are you six foot six and do you have the monies?
That is a, yeah.
They're pretty direct about it now.
No, I absolutely respect that.
But it's hand in hand, direct conversation, direct deposit.
And they think they be hurting my feelings.
How tall are you, Joe?
Six, one.
Nah, you looking five, ten-ish.
Shut up.
Is she five, three?
Yeah. She's five, three. You looking five3", and you're looking 5'10". Bitch.
Yeah, I know.
I know a 5'7", nigga.
Broke your heart last year.
You was in shambles.
5'7", nigga. Rocked your whole world.
Fuck is you talking about with this app?
Alright, so yeah, I do think that Wayne
would get the best of Young Thug.
Of course, that's no disrespect to Thug.
Of course.
That's how I feel.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, I'm with you on that.
Love Thug.
Huge fan.
But it's just too much catalog to pull from.
Do we need to get into this?
There's a clip circulating.
I'm not sure where it's from, but it's Charlamagne talking about the Drake era and whether we're
in it or not still.
I got it.
talking about the drake era and whether we're in it or not still i got it i don't know how old or recent the clip is but let's play it anyway no it's recent because wayno said i just
don't know what what drake has given us so much music that i don't know if he has another gear
you know what i'm saying like we know we know kendrick has another gear he shows us that with
every project drake has given us so much i don't know if he has another gear so therefore i'm not looking forward to anything let me ask y'all a question are we
still in the drake era are is radio um such such such such a prehistoric form of of of medium
is radio such a prehistoric form of media that it hasn't changed the temperature to what's actually going on out
here in these streets i think that radio is a prehistoric form i've thought that for some time
now yeah i won't kill him i won't kill him like the net like the internet is if i try to understand
what he's saying i think i could see his point in there even though I disagree with it yeah I don't think
um I think he's talking about that era where the term the Drake stimulus package existed
we're like artists were going to Drake for that package to kind of home run or jumpstart their
career to the right start we've seen it in the verses yeah we've seen it we've seen it uh you
know when you could get a feature from Drake and it would kind of help your radio position
or your position on the chart.
Like, I think he means that era, the era of,
hey, you kind of had to align with Drake
to be able to coexist with Drake.
I think he's saying now you can coexist with Drake
and not align with him necessarily
or not be with him or go through him or you can just do it on your own.
His position is not stopping anyone else from existing.
That's what I think he was saying.
Okay.
Okay.
I don't think that was ever a thing.
I don't think Drake was ever stopping anyone from existing or.
Just Joe.
I think the stimulus.
Well, no, man, we disagree there because it's only we was naming the names off air. anyone from existing or just joe i think the stimulus well no me and maude we disagreed here
because it's only we was naming the names off air it ain't but 10 niggas that was existing
peacefully when drake was in the midst of his run it was 10 of them i feel like at any moment
in time there was 10 10 dudes though yeah and yeah but you know how many dudes there aren't
that's the that's the point but yeah but Joe, everybody can't be top tier though.
There are tiers.
There's tiers in the music industry.
You can exist here and then there's the ones
that exist here.
Like Drake is here.
There's different lanes.
Everybody else can eat here
but then when he drops,
it's still the same impact though
and it's still a such thing
as the Drake stimulus.
If you do want a verse
from Drake.
I do think Drake
has another gear,
potentially.
He's shifted gears.
I'm never going to say that.
Yeah, I'm never going to say it.
He still hasn't given us
a real full R&B project yet.
Or a real full rap project.
Exactly.
So those are two gears
right there we're talking about.
I mean, yes,
this is still,
the Drake era is not over.
He's still
top three biggest artists
in the world.
He was still named on a lot of lists
he probably had one of the
top selling albums this year
and it was an outtakes album
it was a B-Sides
I am
but it is
good to see other artists
grow
and
you know
because Drake didn't really
he wasn't
we talked about it
don't put
over
and my name
in the same sentence at all
when my B-Sides sell more than albums right and that's
that's the problem is the drake era over no it's this is don't put over nowhere near nothing i'm
doing while i'm still present unless it's the song over right yeah right then you're good no he's
drake is very much still this is his era yeah and i can't wait to see what happens with his project in January.
Yeah, me too. I want to see what it does.
I want to see what it sounds like. I've said that. I'm waiting.
And I'm waiting to see what the next era might be.
Not for nothing.
You don't think we already started seeing it with Roddy
and Baby?
Sure. But we'll see. You know, you gotta
wait and see at least a couple years of it before
we can fully
declare it someone else's era.
But there's definitely a bunch of people who promised to Meg would be in that conversation, too.
A lot of the females.
Cardi, if she continues putting out music.
Cardi settled her lawsuit with her previous manager.
Oh, that's good news.
Yes, let me hit the round of applause for queen cardi i'm sure that
was in the way of us receiving any music yeah that's a good point and i'm seeing some reports
that say that she's still negotiating that new contract with atlantic i don't know that to be
true or false but i could see all these things playing a part in why we haven't received music
from cardi yeah for sure because you don't want to sign a big deal and then your old manager who be true or false, but I could see all these things playing a part in why we haven't received music from Cardi.
Yeah, for sure, because you don't want to sign a big deal and then your old manager
who you dislike gets a chunk of it that you're not willing to give up, at least.
Yeah.
I don't know what the terms were with their settlement.
Yeah, and they're not going to tell us.
No.
Let's see.
Cardi filed a $30 million countersuit on April 2018.
Raphael sued Cardi for $10 million,
claiming that he had been frozen out of her career.
He alleged that he discovered Cardi and played an integral part in developing her music career and public image.
We've seen a lot of that from past managers.
The following July, Cardi filed a $30 million countersuit,
claiming that Shaft put barriers between Cardi and the people close to her
in an effort to maintain complete control over her
and dictated who she should and should not see romantically.
He called Shaft deceitful and disloyal and self-serving and controlling.
Either way, I'm glad they worked this out.
Yeah.
And I'm getting this from Pitchfork.
Shout out to Pitchfork.
And shout out to Cardi.
Great news.
Yeah, Bronx finest.
What else is out there that's super important?
Is there a Playboi Carti album dropping?
It dropped Friday.
What did it drop already?

Whatever happened, I hope that Iggy Azalea is all right.

yeah Master P and Baron Davis
are apparently in talk
to buy Reebok
for 2.4 billion dollars
that's amazing
big business
Adidas bought Reebok
in 2005
in an attempt to compete
with Nike in the US
but expectations
were not met
now they're looking to sell.
Sportswear brand has a pair of serious potential buyers
and rapper and businessman Percy Miller
and former NBA All-Star Baron Davis.
Baron Davis, who names just pops up
in all of this techie stuff all over the place.
Yeah, BD, he always got his hands in a lot of business.
He's got a lot going on.
That's dope.
Shout out to BD.
Shout out to Master P.
I hope this gets done.
That would be dope.
We were just singing his praises when they did the, what's the BET doc they did on him?
I don't remember what it was called.
It was a great series.
But how he did everything.
He was doing porn hotlines and selling hot fries and shit.
Like, he did everything.
And he had sneakers before, too, so.
Yeah.
This is a new form.
But that's a major.
This is a major.
Do you know Master P can't wait to get his hands on that Reebok thing?
Oh, yeah.
That would be amazing.
They still go open up the old No Limit Design Factory.
Yeah.
You remember those sneakers they called ugly?
Bring them back.
Get the graphic designer on the line.
Tell him we're back.
Yeah.
Big business.
That's huge.
That's huge.
Yeah, I could see that going real well.
But see what I mean?
Just different conversations, different faces at the table, different owners, different ideas.
Yes, you can team up with the rappers.
It's safe.
Right.
Again, hip-hop culture.
You can get with the retired rappers.
Especially when the rappers got a lot of money.
Yeah.
He'll make it happen.
If there's one thing
Master P is going to do
is make it happen.
I see what you did there.
Congratulations to Master P
and Baron Davis.
Yeah, let's hope
this deal gets done.

Why he work crazy like that
Julie's been working, man.
That whole, you know, the Knicks didn't go to the playoffs.
Obviously, they weren't in the bubble.
So, he was working out the whole time.
Like, you know, they had all that time off.
And he was really working.
But I'm just happy that it's coming together for him.
Because he's a talent, man.
It's a few pieces missing from the Knicks.
I wish they would give him a point guard that could shoot.
He just need a point guard that could shoot.
Space the floor a little bit.
But, yeah, man, he hooping.
Well, you don't think Elfriede Payton is getting it done?
Don't diss him.
No, no, I like him.
Just need more consistency.
That's all.
Got it.
More consistency.
Got it.
Listen, there's been a whole lot of you fucking.
Listen, I think that that little wine bar in the Barclays is cool too.
I keep saying it.
Listen, sometimes I was there at the Barclays for Dwayne Wade's last game when Carmelo took the fake shot.
I was hungry in the second half.
I went out.
They had a whole little kitchen kitchen area.
Food was great. I understand how the allure of the Barclays is making y'all get into your Nets to the Finals Nets championship bag.
They look pretty good.
But boy, have I been bumping into a lot of y'all.
And I sound like a hater.
Yeah.
Well, y'all think I'm a hater.
But I've been bumping into a lot of y'all that are on this bandwagon.
Yeah.
A lot of people got fed up with the Knicks and shifted bronze.
My dad keeps telling me about the, well, my dad was a,
I was a Nets fan when they was in the ABA.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a good one.
He's serving me up.
Yeah, that's a good one.
He's serving me up.
You ever seen the red and white ball?
He's telling me the Nets bench is like the star
of the Nets deepest team in the league, all this shit.
Yeah. Well. He said so much shit I had to go Google the Nets bench is like the starliest, deepest team in the league. All this shit. Yeah.
Well.
He said so much shit I had to go Google the Nets bench.
You know what I found on that fucking bench?
What'd you find?
Jeff Green.
He's a baller.
That's a few.
No, no, no.
Don't stop there.
Jeff Green is serviceable.
Yeah.
Karras Levert.
Stop, stop.
Don't give me the good names first.
I mean.
Let me do my list.
You want to start with the bad names.
Let me do my list.
My way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
The 15th man. They gave me. my list. Let me do my list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The 15th, man.
They gave me, who did I just name?
Jared Allen.
No, no, no, no.
Who did I just, just, just?
Oh, Jeff Green they gave me.
Serviceable.
Yeah.
They gave me Jared Allen.
Wanted to pump that up.
I see what you did there.
Jared Allen's all right.
I don't know why you don't say that.
He all right.
Alter a lot of shots at the paint.
Yeah, finishes.
Make you have to double pump the layup.
Finishes at the rim, yeah.
Got it.
Yeah.
Hey, then they told me about some guy named T. Prince.
Torian Prince?
And I was like, yo, they got Tyshawn Prince?
And they was like, nah, nah, it's Torian.
Torian Prince, yeah.
Oh. Yeah, all right. Torian Prince, yeah. Oh.
Yeah.
Torian Prince is all right.
Like, what you want on the bench?
Deadly bench.
You want all-stars on the bench?
Whoa.
Yeah.
Killer bench.
How will the league survive?
Nah, but name the rest of the bench.
Don't do that.
All right, then they told me about Karis LeVert.
OK.
Who's official and solid.
Yeah.
Shemit, solid. Yeah. Like him. Yeah. told me about carrots lavert okay who's a fish you in solid yeah uh shemit solid like them yeah then they told me about tempeh luwawa carrots and peas cap cabero carrots and corn
what not sorry buddy yeah tyler johnson there's some pieces on the bench reggie perry
rionendis kar Karrouks.
Sorry, buddy.
I'm sorry.
So I bring all this up to say Spencer Dinwiddie goes down.
Tragic injury.
He's gone for the year.
Tragic, tragic.
One of my favorite people.
I fuck with him in speedy recovery.
And this is fucked up because I was talking shit,
but I did want to see the Nets at full strength and see what they could do.
But now that this has occurred,
does this change anything for you bark
layers? A little bit. Spencer going down?
It changes some things.
Because when I spoke to my dad,
he lost that whole deepest bench in the league
tone that he had in his voice the day
before. That Spencer Dent
injury hurt the Nets.
It definitely did. But they still have a squad.
Yeah, they still have two of the best players at their position.
Karras, Levert, Schmidt.
The Nets are all right, man.
They got a nice squad.
They got a nice team.
They do.
They got a real nice team.
They do.
And I think they'll – I mean, obviously, they're a top –
talent-wise, a top four, three team in the East.
When you tell them you got Katie and Kyrie.
I mean talent wise
They might be number one
Yeah talent wise
Yeah right there
So
I mean
I think they'll be alright
They'll be alright
But the Spencer Dinwiddie injury
Definitely hurt
Their
Rotation
It definitely hurt
Their plans
For sure
Uh
Uh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Uh
Miami
Uh
Uh
South Beach Bringing the heat' the heat, uh
Sorry, I didn't mean to play a song that was representin' the Eastern Conference champs
Team that actually went to the finals
I thought you were talkin' about the Dolphins
No, no, let Will cook, let Will cook
Oh, and the Dolphins, look at y'all
Y'all not in yet, right?
No, but
Then shut up
Need a rest to spill, me and Charlie at the bar at y'all. Y'all not in yet, right? No, but. Shut up.
I need a rest to spill.
Me and Charlie at the bar running up a hotbed. I'm Tyler Hero.
Real steppers.
Duncan Robinson.
Huh?
Yeah.
A.B. Bradley is over there.
This is not a sports podcast, y'all.
It's not a sports podcast.
No, not at all.
Chris Nunn still there.
Drogic and numb.
I like him.
Come on, man.
What are we doing?
Miami, they're going to be right there again.
I don't know about the finals, but they'll be right there.
I don't think the Nets can beat up Miami.
That's my hot basketball take.
Put me on the record.
I'm still riding the Miami bandwagon.
I'm here.
What else is really important in sports?
I got my Julius apology out the way
uh i got my bold miami take out of the way haskins duane haskins
hurts to see it hurts to see it hurts to see it makes me look even dumber uh with my disbelief
that the giants picked daniel jones and that clip that Bleacher Report will not stop clipping of me. Bleacher
Report really likes that clip.
Shout out to Bleacher Report.
But yeah, I had a lot of dismay because we
went with Danny Dimes instead of
Dwayne Haskins and boy was I wrong.
Danny Dimes doesn't look that bad. Boy was I wrong.
Yes, it's... Dwayne Haskins
just looked like shit. He did. He didn't
look good and then he was wild
Off the field
He made it easy
For them to let him go
Yeah
Because you can not be playing well
But if you still
Your character
And you're working hard
Teams will keep you around
For sure
If there's someone that you want
In the locker room
You'll find a job
Yeah
What he was doing
He was partying with the hoes
Without his mask on
I think that's what it was
Yeah
Which is some bullshit Kind of But at the same time Yeah but he deserved it Yeah. What he was doing, he was partying with the hoes? I think so. Without his mask on? I think that's what it was, yeah, yeah.
Which is some bullshit, kind of, but at the same time.
Yeah, but he deserved it.
I think in the picture I saw, he made all the hoes wear a T-shirt with his jersey number on it.
That's swag.
They were wearing numbers.
You're fired.
Yo, put my jersey on.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry, buddy.
Complete some passes first, at least. Yeah, sorry. Yo, putting your jersey on all the, yeah. I'm sorry, buddy. Complete some passes first, at least.
Yeah, sorry.
Yo, putting your jersey on all the hoes in the spot is...
Yo, put this on.
Especially if the numbers ain't there.
Get your shit off, man.
The funny shit about this is you should have felt super good with your job security when the dude behind you is coming off 19 leg surgeries.
Yeah.
Like, you should have been able to secure this job.
Yeah.
This was your gig to have.
In the worst division in the world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, again, I know the organization probably didn't really fuck with him.
I remember those stories that came out at draft time.
Yeah, no doubt.
Yeah, that there was some disputes about the way they wanted to go.
But you can't stink it up like that.
You can't do that.
And let me not say that because Geno Smith still has a backup job.
But he had some moments where he flashed.
That's what's left of my sex life,
moments where I flash.
You have a little window right there you see.
Yeah, a little spurt.
So what you used to be.
A little spurt of where I'm serving him up.
Yeah, yeah.
You know you trash when you give it a forgive me dick and she don't forgive.
Yeah, yeah.
She keeps saying she can't.
You all right back there, huh?
Gave her the forgive me dick.
She's still holding a grudge.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, oh, shit, man.
She needs to work.
She feels even more strongly convicted in whatever the fuck you did.
Oh, no.
If it goes up afterwards, that's bad.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm at the age where I think I just lost the forgive me dick.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Sorry, buddy.
It's fine.
I probably still don't have it anymore.
I'm rich.
Yeah.
Fuck it.
I got different ways to forgive.
So come work for me.
Come better your life.
You got any content?
Hey, look, Savon want to hit that level so bad.
Savon want to call him up and say, yo, just come work for me.
That nigga would call his ex so fast.
Hey, that game be expensive.
Maybe you really want to get paid.
Watch yourself.
Watch yourself out there.
All right, what else needs to be said?
Yo, man, fuck.
Hold up, hold up, hold up, man.
Hold up.
Hard.
We just be wrong about shit,
and I'm the only one that want to come in here and talk about it.

Hey, even the dude that was supposed to lie about the report was like,
fam, what do you want me to do?
It's like the medical examiner was like, bro, he got it.
His head is bashed in.
Yeah, like, what do you want me to do?
All right, it was indecisive.
All right.
Man, Kofi, man.
Old Kofi's out of there.

Y'all liked it?
Great.
Yeah.
It was great, man.
They're crushing.
Yeah.
I love it.
They're making me feel
like such an idiot
for being so heavy
on undoing.
Do y'all feel like
this is going to be
something that's around
for a couple years?
I think it's a
mini-series, right?
Has to be.
They can't end this
after 10 or 11.
No.
I don't even care
if it ends bad.
They can't end this
after the 10th episode.
I agree.
I agree.
Let's see.
The miniseries is the wave now.
We might only be getting a mini.
Yeah, but there's so many ways this story can go and grow.
And they're exploring all of them.
Yeah.
It's moving, though.
There'll be a loophole every single time.
It's not dragging.
It's like, oh, damn, now.
That's what I like about this.
It's not dragging at all.
Now the grandma's involved.
And now the grandma knows the mayor. And oh, fuck, now. That's what I like about this. It's not dragging at all. Now the grandma's involved, and now the grandma knows the mayor, and oh, fuck.
Right.
Everyone's entangled.
Fam, I don't know what your honor's doing.
That whole little dinner with grandma and the investigator and my protege lawyer who
wants to crack this case.
Hey, fam.
And wants me to crack her case.
Yeah, dinner's over now.
Right.
That's the end of dinner.
Everybody head home. All right, y'all. Yeah. Will you put your coat? Yeah. Yeah, dinner's over now. Right. That's the end of dinner. Everybody head home.
All right, y'all.
Yeah.
Will you put your coat?
Yeah.
Yeah, these niggas is crazy,
but for the sake of the show.
Once Kofi died,
I was like, well,
okay, the dude that pled guilty
is dead now,
and that should be the end of...
But that one cop,
she's a digger.
Yeah.
She's a digger.
And the mom,
the grandma.
Yeah, yeah.
The grandma wants to help with the car.
Oh, man.
She's getting sticky.
Yeah.
Then they blew up the house.
Oh, yeah.
She got crazy.
We're just telling the whole episode, so if you haven't seen it, be sure to fast forward
through this entire little tidbit.
The main mob boss is such a good actor, too.
There's a lot of good acting, but he's killing it.
When he got up from the table mad, you could see the anger.
He was drunk walking because he was so mad.
That was good.
It's a great show.
They're crushing this, man.
Every Sunday, 10 p.m. or Saturday night if you have the Showtime app.
I drop Saturday night?
Yeah.
If you have the Showtime app.
I do.
There's a few people telling me that I might have missed the ball on the PowerBook thing
and I should go back and watch it.
It's actually not bad. It's not bad. Yo, the people are trying to sell me on that, man. They're telling me that I might have missed the ball on the PowerBook thing and I should go back and watch it. It's actually not bad.
It's not bad.
Yo, the people are trying to sell me on that, man.
They're telling me I need to go watch it.
Let me be clear.
It's not good.
It wasn't good, the little bit I saw.
But it's not bad.
I just, I watched.
That was bad.
That was pretty bad.
I watched some of the episode and I just can't get into Tariq selling dope on campus with
Travis Scott's on.
It's just like, all right, fam.
What are we doing?
With Rory. It was tough for me. What are we doing? With Rory.
It was tough for me.
What are we doing?
His partner.
It was tough for me, too, after seeing Ghost run a club, a laundromat.
I mean, listen, it's still terrible.
And kill people.
But it's still entertaining, I guess.
It's good terror, though.
Yeah.
It's good terror.
It's entertaining.
There's a lot of really bad acting still.
There's like a professor dude that's just really bad.
There's a lot of bad shit going on yeah but if i just got time to waste on certain shows like there's other
shows that i need to watch like i still have never seen mr robot i i just got uh i buckled i'm an
amazon guy when someone else is logging but i installed the app yeah yeah so i'm gonna i'm gonna

Fargo.
I got to start that.
I didn't see Fargo.
Well, you said you're not going back to Tenet?
I'm going to go back to it.
I just have to be really focused. I can't be looking at my phone.
You can't watch anything else when that movie is on.
And that's what it was.
That's what it was.
I was like, all right.
I put it on about seven times thinking I could do other things and was totally lost.
Okay, I got you.
But the eighth time when I just watched the movie, I couldn't believe that they was doing all of this shit.
All right.
I like it when the movie makes you put down the phone, though.
Sometimes it's like, that's my gauge.
Like, does this make me put this down?
So you just have to Lock in
That's what it is
I guess so
With Tenet
Did you see Tenet
I didn't see it
Okay okay
But Soul
I started off on the phone
That shit locked me in
Okay
That shit locked me in
I'm going to watch Tenet again

We get passionate when I open the cabinet
This ain't your average love
She ain't care if I had a buzz
Knew I would grow to be a boss
And do time, it's just a matter of
Maybe I love you cause you don't speak
Or is the time apart
Cause when we together it's so brief
Maybe I love you cause these cold streets
And regardless of the weather
When we together we both eat
I first met you back in 03
She approached me
Cause I was the one that brought her the groceries
Cocaine and water provoked me, to get back in touch with you
It was you I thought of most, sweetheart
And I know you wanted to go sometimes, cause of my abuse
I would beat on you as I wrote my rhymes, that's because I felt broke inside
And when you first got with me, you was empty, that shit hurt my pride
But I knew that I would build you up
Knew that it would take a million plus to help fill you up
And I knew that we would make it rich
