When he came and said that, I was like, I think we're going to leave.
Yo, we never really talk about that stuff.
Like some of the hardships you go through as a podcaster, and that's been prevalent.
That's been really prevalent on my mind this week as I've been getting barked on by some people on my network and Savant.
But boy, some of the decisions that you have to make to get where you have to go.
And that one, boy, did they try to rape us early, huh?
Very early.

try to rob us what did they try to put us in a 720 deal if you want to continue to use the studio

like all right man fuck y'all why didall. Why did the engineer or whoever he was
think that we were ever going to pay?
Wow, man.
Maybe we should have paid him.

Pro Tools crashed.
Why did that engineer ever think
somebody was paying $1,000
for him to record a podcast?
He tried it.
He saw the vision of where podcasts
and where it was going.
Hey, Duke, look at your life now.
He could be doing just fine.

he was a shanti before you came and you walked in he was like i think it was keisha well you

pants man we argued about this what i did not argue with you and you will not get me to argue
with you this podcast either keisha cole did ke Cole things. She did exactly what I expected her to do, and I loved everything about it.
And I'm here to talk about it.
What's up?
Yeah, we're here to talk about it.
What's up, man?
Come on.
First of all, the ladies look great.
They did.
They both look great.
They both look spectacular.
They were a month and 47 minutes late, but they look great.
One of them wasn't.
Yeah.
Listen, I don't mind them being late.
One of them wasn't last night.
One of them made us wait
an hour the other one made us wait for a few months no month and a half i don't think that's
five weeks but okay had to be five weeks it's supposed to happen december 19th here we are
about a month later one of them made us wait a month it's fine it's fine it's fine wasn't
wasn't keisha she was sick yesterday too yeah overall
what did you guys think
of this
before we get into our debate
as far as the
entire verses
yeah just every
I mean
this particular verses
I think we got spoiled
with the
both of them
in the studio
same room
just the aesthetics
were different
I think we were just
used to seeing that
and we got comfortable
seeing them
seeing the artists in the same room.
So that was a little different.
But the audio wasn't bad.
It wasn't not much of a delay.
Yeah.
So you could tell that they made sure that they had it as right as they could
being in separate venues.
They had Keisha's mic way too loud.
Yeah, I was going to say.
The mics wasn't it.
They could have EQ'd them a little something,
maybe a little reverb or something, make them sound like singers.
Yeah.
But overall, the performance was a little underwhelming.
I think the fact that we had waited so long, the anticipation was high.
But the performance was a little underwhelming.
I don't know if it's because of the split rooms or whatever.
I can't speak to that, but it was just a little underwhelming for me.
I won't use the word underwhelming, but I understand your position.
I briefly thought about that for a second as well,
but I chopped it up to this event taking place on a Thursday night.
Now, the other times this was supposed to happen, it was a Saturday.
Saturday would have been better.
And both of the Saturdays that this was scheduled for, I had big shit popping.
Same.
I had a kickback plan.
Women were excited.
They were hype.
It was food.
It was food coming.
Hors d'oeuvres and shit.
Yeah.
Finger foods and shit.
But on a Thursday night,
that's not really the vibe.
Niggas got to work in the morning.
Traffic is back in New York.
People are actually looking
like they have places to go.
Yeah.
So,
yeah,
Thursday night,
I wasn't going to feel that.
I saw a lot of people complaining about the time that Keisha showed up.
No complaints from me.
Every single Versus has started 45 minutes to an hour late.
That's true.
All of them.
I don't mind.
Since their Apple deal.
So I'm not putting that on Keisha.
I don't mind the time.
If you're going to be late, give me aj that didn't just put his itunes on shuffle
that was some of the worst djing i've ever heard in my life valid completely valid he was all over
i don't want to do that i'm not gonna do that because i don't know what the djs had to deal
with behind the scenes okay that's fair so i don't want to just totally shit on the job that someone
did i know the fat joe record came on a lot. I appreciated that.
Ashanti sat down and she was sitting there pretty early running through some of her earlier records,
records that she wasn't going to play.
I couldn't understand that, but...
It was a little weird.
Weird is one way to look at it.
It could also be perceived as...
It could be perceived a way.
I won't i won't i
won't say what because i don't want people to accuse me as to trying to start shit because
i'm not well i believe the dj was just playing those records because she even looked surprised
on certain ones it didn't look like a plan to me i think ashanti was probably asked to get
on the screen just to like yeah she was ready obviously first so it was like everyone was on
twitter saying yo what the fuck where they at yeah so i think they just kind of did an audible and Ashanti went in there just to entertain people.
Which also could be putting Ashanti at a disadvantage.
For sure.
Like, you want me to sit on, we're supposed to do this together.
You want me to sit out here alone with however million people watching and I'm supposed to just do what?
Burn.
So that's a disadvantage for Ashanti, but, you know,
she came out and she was professional and she sat there until she held it
down, like she said, until Keisha was ready.
She didn't have to do that.
All class.
Yeah, she didn't have to do that.
But, you know, we appreciated that because we definitely was looking at
chairs and candles and Doritos for about 57 minutes.
Yeah.
So Keisha Cole comes out and let's get right to the scoring of this thing.
How did you gentlemen have it scored? Let's go through the rounds. Let's do scores at the end. Yeah. So Keisha Cole comes out and let's get right to the scoring of this thing. How did you gentlemen
have it scored?
Let's go through the rounds.
Let's do scores at the end.
Okay.
Got it.
Round one.
Keisha,
I changed my mind.
Ashanti,
happy.
That's a point to Ashanti.
That's a point to Ashanti.
Yeah.
Now,
but Keisha set it off.
All right,
hold on,
hold on,
hold on.
Because I don't like the way
y'all just,
that was like a quick, y'all didn't even think about that
I don't need to
Okay
Happy's a big record
I changed my mind
Is not fucking with Happy at all
No
It was a nice start
I changed my mind
Is a
I love
It's a great record
I love that record
It's not fucking with Happy though
Happy is
So you said Ashanti won her first round
Yes
Okay cool
I had it like that too
I thought y'all said
Keisha won her first round Happy is One of Ashanti's bigger and better records.
I thought you said Keisha won.
My bad.
I said Keisha won.
The first round?
No.
I said she won the battle.
Oh, okay.
I don't have Keisha winning.
I changed my mind versus Happy.
But what I will say, I loved the strategy.
I like that as a starting record. Coming out with a big record? I like coming out with a big record. Then like that as a starting record.
Coming out with a big record.
I like coming out with a big record,
then she followed with a big record,
then she followed with a big record,
then she followed with a big record.
Yeah.
That was different for me,
watching somebody start out with their strongest records.
And I enjoyed that more.
It caused Ashanti to maybe call an audible
that she didn't plan for, one.
And two, it left the suspense at the end of the movie for me.
Too many times we see people just skate through the first 10, 12 joints.
And now we know the songs that are left.
And then it's like, okay.
The only thing about that, though, is it kind of ran out of gas in the last two rounds a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, Ashanti had mesmerized, but it did get a little underwhelming towards the end.
Yeah.
See, but I even loved, I loved that, too, mesmerized, but it did get a little underwhelming towards the end.
See, but I even loved, I loved that too, if I'm being honest with you.
I loved that Keisha won the rounds to me that she was supposed to win, and the rounds that she probably wasn't going to win, she didn't even fight.
She didn't even play a record for Foolish.
She did, but here's the last song in the album I put out in 08.
I mean, but a lot of the time, your biggest record i love that we joke all the time about how we should that should
happen but we never see him do it that's true so for her to actually do it fuck foolish here nigga
you win now next but i feel like i did like that that didn't happen mesmerized she shanti got that
point at the end but by that point she wasn't about to catch Keisha by
my score.
Your score was wrong.
All right, well, let's keep going.
Round two, Keisha Cole, I should have cheated.
Is Shanti the way that I love you?
Keisha.
Keisha.
1-1.
Yes.
Yeah.
Round three, Keisha Cole, enough of love featuring Wayne.
Shanti, don't love me.
Don't leave me alone. Yeah. I got a Love Me. Don't Leave Me Alone.
Yeah.
I got Ashanti.
Same.
2-1, Ashanti.
I did not give Don't Leave Me Alone to Ashanti.
Okay.
That's fine.
I gave that to Keisha Cole.
Mm-hmm.
2-1, Keisha.
In your book, okay.
Round four.
Yeah, mine.
Round four, Shoulda Let You Go
Versus Rock With You
Rock With You is a point
Whenever it comes on
Yeah
2-2
I have a 3-1
Keisha
Alright I have a 2-2
Keisha Cole
I Remember
Versus Southside
Southside
I have a 4-1
I love Southside
Keisha Cole gets that point
But I think I'm taking
I Remember
Keisha Cole gets that point I have it 3-2 4-1. Keisha Cole gets that point. I love Southside, but I think I'm taking out Remembrance. Keisha Cole gets that point.
I have it 3-2.
4-1.
Round six.
Last night versus Ain't It Funny Remix.
I give that point to Keisha Cole again.
Ashanti.
I'm giving Ashanti Ain't It Funny Remix.
So now we're going into...
You asked me for my score, I'm just telling you.
And we can go over it.
Everybody can give their own scores.
Maul has this at 5-1
That's hilarious
Yeah, so do I
Round seven
Cards right
Cards right featuring Tupac
5-2
Keisha wins that round
Keisha, sure
I didn't want to award points
To anyone in this round
Yeah
That's how you was feeling?
Yeah, but Keisha gets that point
I gave her that
Round eight
I did too
Love versus rain on me A lot of people gave it to Keisha gets that point I gave her that Round 8 I did too Love vs. Rain on me
A lot of people gave it to Keisha with love
I gave it to Ashanti with rain on me
6-2 on my book
Keisha Cole trust and believe vs. down for you
Score 1
7-2
Score 1 for
What you want
Score 1 for Ashanti
I got Ashanti there
I have Ashanti there too
7-2 Ashanti on my book round 10, which finishes the first half, is You've Changed versus Runaway.
Keisha.
Keisha.
Seven, three.
Six, four.
In my book.
Okay.
Six, four, Keisha in your book.
Six, four, Keisha.
Seven, three, Ashanti.
After 10 rounds.
So now, let's discuss after the 10.
Sure.
Yeah, because 11 is very debatable.
I don't think that Keisha Cole should have been up going into the second 10.
She wasn't.
Well, she wasn't in my book.
But in your book, she was.
She was for me.
I'm only talking about me.
Y'all can speak about y'alls.
Mm-hmm.
But there were some points.
When Keisha played her Pac record record before Ashanti played a record
I just gave her the point until she played a record and then I said oh no the same thing
happened on um uh right before that uh no no stop stop stop stop stop uh enough of love and don't
leave me alone same thing happened there for me Who doesn't know that I recorded a podcast today?
Who has the gall?
South Side I love, but that's just not beating I Remember.
I've been talking about I Remember here for weeks.
I don't think you had to pull a bigger record out against I Remember.
I love South Side.
I just don't think Ashanti took the points that she should have taken.
I think she kind of slept some.
But I also don't think that she planned on Keisha playing all of her big records in the first half.
It looked like she may have called two or three audibles.
It looked like she had a game plan that she was going to stick to no matter what
until Keisha's biggest record started coming on.
It was like, all right, we're not going to let you do that.
I felt like Timberland and Swizz had something to do with this list.
Like, too many of the records went too well against each other.
It seemed very planned to me in a good way.
I don't know if there was awkwardness.
They both played their bigger records in round four type shit.
That seems planned to me.
The Pac shit at the same time.
Two really big samples on what?
Round 10.
Very well-known samples against each other.
I felt like they did these matchups purposely. Big samples on what? Round 10. Very well-known samples against each other.
I felt like they did these matchups purposely.
They wouldn't have put that Keisha record against Foolish.
They wouldn't have done that.
They wouldn't have put that Keisha record against Mesmerize.
They wouldn't have done it.
There's certain things they wouldn't have done.
But that was the only two, I felt. And I think Keisha just wanted to play her record at the end.
And the Foolish joint, yeah, she just had to throw that point away but other than that I thought they
were really good matchups that could have went either way in a lot of places with the bigger
records in the early rounds which we haven't seen in versus round 11 is probably the most difficult
uh round for me in the entire battle which is baby versus heaven sent which I gave to Keisha Cole
I'm giving it a tie I saw a lot of scorecards floating around with ties.
Man up.
Man up.
You know what?
I'll give it to Keisha because I like Heaven Sent more.
But I can see why people would score that for Baby.
Me too.
But I just like Heaven Sent more.
I'll play Heaven Sent before I play Baby.
I'm pussy.
I had a tie there.
Yeah.
Oh, come on with a tie, you guys. I prefer Heaven Sent, but that Baby. I'm pussy. I had a tie there. Yeah. Oh, come on with a tie, you guys.
I prefer Heaven Sent, but that's a tie to me.
Yeah.
Ashanti, only you.
I'll give it to Keisha then.
Keisha, brand new.
One of my favorite Keisha Cole records.
But again, I'll be honest, it seemed like Keisha was ready to give the point away whenever
only you came on.
You're not going to go against seven with just anything.
You're not.
No.
I have an eight for Ashanti at this point.
So now, mind you, now I've given Ashanti the, wait.
No, Ashanti got round 12.
So I've already given Keisha two of the first three rounds
in the second half, and I had her up going into it.
But cool, we keep going.
Where we at? Round 13?
13, yeah.
What's love,
Ja Rule and Ashanti
versus trust featuring Monica?
Ashanti.
Ashanti.
Never the case.
I have Ashanti winning that,
but...
Never the case.
Considering it was just a hook.
Never the case.
Never the case.
You like what's love
more than you like trust?
I don't.
Cut it out.
I don't.
You do. I don't. I'm out. I don't. You do.
I don't.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling the four of you I don't.
And I know y'all are joking around the par.
Rory, no, I don't like What's Love better than this song.
If y'all just, you tell that.
I know.
I like What's Love.
And listen, even if I did, let me play along.
Even if I did, my fear going into the battle was exactly what happened like Fat Joe
wasn't there John wasn't there that record today sounds and she didn't need to be there
she's on the record she's on the second verse of the record that record is a hit when the first
verse and the hook is on what What's Love is a huge hit.
But if they're not there and we're going to only hear the hook, the bridge, and then the hook again, and it goes off, you want me to give that point to Ashanti?
I'm sorry.
I cannot.
Well, we're going off records.
She's on the record.
I'm not.
Which record do you like better?
Well, for me, it's both.
It's Keisha for both
Okay but that's
That's contradictory
To anything you've scored
In the other
Verses
Where
I've seen you give a point
To somebody that just did a hook
Who?
Probably in the 2 Chainz battle
Almost every battle
There was a hook
Pain, T-Pain I'm sure you did
First of all a hook is a major part
of liking a record
yo can I just tell y'all
I'm not upset
that she only did the hook
I'm upset
that only the hook played
there was a couple times
that they did that
there was a couple times
where they played
a little bit of verse
or the verse
and that's how they should do it
there was no verse
he should let
Dwayne's entire verse go
the hook came on the bridge go. The hook came on,
the bridge came on,
the hook came on, and it went off.
I, Joe Budden,
cannot give that point to
A'shawn. I'm not doing it. And I wouldn't do it.
You're not giving it to her based on the way she played the record or the record?
Well, I'm not giving it to her based on both.
But I'm saying I was just going along with y'all's
theory for a little bit. Where we
at? Where we at? 14.
A fucking travesty. See, this But I'm saying I was just going along with y'all's theory for a little bit. Okay. Where we at? Where we at? 14. 14.
A fucking travesty.
See, this is where I can't give points on hooks.
A fucking travesty.
Why?
Because the Tamiya one was the one.
Absolutely.
I mean, we all know that.
But Ashanti has a-
But what?
She has a rendition of that.
But this be my little tiny issue with Ashanti.
There's no issue with Ashanti. But be my little tiny issue with Ashanti. There's no issue with Ashanti.
But this is my tiny issue with Ashanti.
If it's good enough that you just wrote the record, then play the record.
Well, she didn't write.
That was a Tamir song.
Did she write that for Tamir, the original So Into You?
No.
Yeah, that's why I also couldn't.
You play your J-Lo records, but you wrote them.
I'm totally cool with that.
But I'm going back to what's love.
Why not play the song?
I wrote this song.
I don't care who put it.
Hey, the fucking, why not play the J-Lo record, the original one?
Like, y'all been beefing about this record for years, and you wrote it.
Play her version.
Or maybe she wasn't allowed to, so who knows?
Yeah, I don't know.
Who knows about that?
Because Keisha Cole allegedly was not allowed to play who knows yeah who knows about that because keisha
cole allegedly was not allowed to play i just wanted to be over oh really because that record
never came on yeah and it's a point but it's fine let's keep going uh where we at 14 into you
versus i've changed keisha uh i've changed featuring keisha Carson's Jaheim record. That's another point that I was ready to give Ashanti.
I can't give her that based off what came on.
That wasn't it.
It didn't sound like it.
And you played the,
the intro came on and then the hook looped eight times and it went off.
What do y'all want me to do?
I wasn't listening to the
versus format i was thinking just thinking about the entire record me too see i well no i gotta
listen to what's playing because sometimes they jazz up their tv tracks in this shit yeah and
ashanti did that earlier i saw i've seen her live so I know how she jazzes up the TV tracks.
She did it.
Remember she said the Mike Jackson 5
sample's expensive,
whatever,
she started talking
about this shit,
cool.
I couldn't do that.
Again,
I scored for Keisha.
Girl in the movies
versus Give It Up To Me.
Keisha.
Keisha.
Keisha is the answer.
Yeah,
but see where it's getting scary?
Mesmerize versus Let It Go.
I give it to Mesmerize, Ashanti.
Foolish, Ashanti is getting it.
Round 18 is The Way That I Love You versus You Complete Me.
Ashanti.
19, Don't Let Me. Yeah, Ashanti swe don't let me
Yeah Ashanti
Ashanti sweeps the rest of the way
Okay so
But by that point
In my score
It's too late to catch her
No way
I just gave Ashanti
I just gave Keisha Cole
Six in the first ten
And
And five
And Ashanti won the last four
I gave
I know but
Keisha won the first
The five of the first six
In the second half to me.
No.
Which one did she lose?
Well, you had her losing what's love.
Yeah.
What else did you have her losing here?
Go back to it?
I had 11-9 Ashanti.
And I had 11-9 Keisha.
11-9 Ashanti.
I had 11-9 Keisha.
I'm hearing a lot of 11-9 either way.
I also told y'all, if this battle is close at all, I give it9 Keisha I'm hearing a lot of 11-9 either way I also told y'all
If this battle is close at all
I give it to Keisha
Now let me talk about my personal
My personal biasness
Because that exists here
But not because I favor one artist
More than the other
They both were instrumental to me
They both fire
It's something to be said
For artists Who just shows up as the instrument and does it
y'all have to know that i always feel a sore spot in my heart for that person the person that's
forced to do it without the backing without the label without this without that i just have to
do it and when the label leaves i just got to keep doing it I just have to do it. And when the label leaves, I just got to keep doing it. I just got to do it.
Fuck it.
Just my voice, my pen.
That's it.
There's no fancy features.
There's no cosign.
There's no big to-do.
I don't have makeup.
I'm not the prettiest girl.
Everybody don't want to fuck me.
I'm not saying she's not.
I'm just saying.
Keisha Cole has a lot of big features.
She was on the major, wasn't she?
Yeah.
Yeah, she was on the major.
And she had a nice run.
The people that love Keisha Cole can tell when the support left.
She was a Kanye feature.
Yeah.
What?
We can tell when the support left.
That's all I'm saying.
Sure.
I would say the same for Ashanti, potentially, though.
I was just going to say, yeah.
It happened with Ashanti.
She just didn't stay as active as Keisha tried to after that happened.
And I don't put Ashanti in that boat,
to be honest with you.
Yes, that happened to Ashanti.
But Ashanti was afforded the world
upon arrival when she signed
because of the crew, because of the camp,
because of the money they had,
because of their standing in Def Jam.
She spent a lot of years writing.
Yeah, let's not take away from her work there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not talking about the work there.
She's put in.
I'm talking about the other side now.
She helped build that.
That monster that she signed into,
she helped build by writing a lot of those records
that got Murder, Inc. to that spot.
So when she became that solo artist,
she had built Murder, Inc. quietly with Ja.
It wasn't like, let's just sign this pretty girl,
and because we have this machine behind us,
she'll be successful.
No, she helped build that machine.
I agree.
Okay.
I'm going to say that Murder, Inc. got the deal that they got
when they got it off the strength of Irv.
Sure.
Of course.
And that's it.
Now, now, now.
I'm talking about the actual roster.
Not about the relationships.
Now, what Irv does after he gets the deal, he's Irv still, so he's going to go find a genius to help build it up.
Irv is a genius.
And that's what happened.
So Ashanti is in the studio with geniuses.
True.
There's something to be said for that to me.
I know how it is to record without those geniuses.
I just think that—
You know how it is to record without geniuses.
Sure.
You don't.
You've been around geniuses.
You don't, really. You geniuses you don't really you
surrounded by really talented people when you get your mix on you've never just gone in there and
just been forced to come out with something and for me sure man is that tough yeah that's tough
so i just have i have a spot for not just keisha but anybody that is in that boat a long time ago
on youtube i had but i, but I can't-
Wait, let me just get this point out real quick.
And then you can go ahead.
A long time ago on YouTube, I had this exact same argument.
I picked the wrong artist, but I had the argument.
It was Rihanna versus Keisha Cole.
And I picked Keisha Cole at the time.
Because of the same thing I'm saying now.
Homegrown talent.
And when the manufactured shit goes away,
the homegrown talent should be able to sustain
and you can get talent from them at any point.
Now, Rihanna's a unicorn, so that was wrong.
You should pick Rihanna.
But I still can't say that because that murder ain't-
But everything I said then is applicable for me here.
No way.
For me.
I'm only talking about for me.
Ashanti created that murder ain't sound that we love.
She was in those rooms for a reason.
She was in those rooms for a reason she was in those rooms for a reason
she had
she had people around her
for a reason
I fight that
but
logically I'll retort that
I don't want to seem like
we killing any of them
the culture one
listen
Ja Rule Put It On Me
existed before Ashanti
was on murder ink
so I can't totally say that
listen you made Jay Z
make another one
but Ashanti was the staple of creating that Murder, Inc.
R&B, hip-hop, fusion shit that we love Murder, Inc. for.
Then make it again.
Because that's what I say.
That's how I handle what you're saying.
I know y'all joking me because I'm retired.
If this mic comes on, I could rap probably.
I could probably do it.
Find the mic.
If that is true, I would like to see that because there's been attempts to come and it don't sound like the sauce.
But we have to factor in what happened with Murder, Inc. with their case.
That kind of just crippled them at their peak.
And, you know, 50-wise, really killed them.
But a lot of that had to do with the case they were going through.
And that was Ashanti in the middle of her fucking peak.
That's a tough thing to try to go.
And then try to get out of that deal that has to do with a criminal fucking act
is really difficult to be like, well, I guess I'll just put out music now.
You are absolutely right, Rory.
That's not easy.
But what I saw last night was carryover of some things.
Ashanti, like Maul said, was so classy.
She was very stationary.
She knew how to sit.
She knew how to posture.
She knew when to talk.
She knew when to be confused by OT Genesis
hey who is this
is she okay
check on that over there
I don't know him
I don't know him
what are they doing
I'm a star
and that's going to get
to my next one
that is really
ghetto
over there
did y'all see it
on his face
yes I did
she knew how to talk
to her sound man
without alerting people
that there was an issue she knew how to keep it going she knew how to talk to her sound man without letting people alerting people that
yeah there was an issue she knew how to keep it going she knew how to keep it cute and classy
maybe when she didn't feel like it like ashanti she's a pro to me looked like somebody that was
training to go against the beyonces and uh you know where you know the ashanti bag. That's carried over. Look at her.
Keisha looks the exact opposite, and my hood ass is always going to get to that.
I love the person that you can tell something's wrong.
It just is relatable to me.
I love the person that, yo, my mic is fucked up.
I'm not going out there.
Like, Joe likes that. I can see how it angered other people.
But for me me going through
what you have to go through as an artist no y'all suck my dick i don't care i don't care
but with that that's what it looked like to me and i loved all that bay area shit give it to me
they told me i was i was disrespecting new york i wasn't with, I wasn't riding with the coast. Yo, y'all got crazy to me.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Wait till they hear this.
The suck might tell what they gonna do.
Ready in common.
Oh, please.
You could never go to Glencoe.
Yo, my music taste ain't dictated
off of y'all fucking sheep.
Wait, let me make myself clear.
I think y'all know my music taste
ain't dictated off of the sheep.
I know how programming
and conditioning works.
Mm-hmm.
Nobody was ever conditioned to like Keisha Cole more than Ashanti.
Mm-hmm.
No, I know how this goes.
But, man, I want to thank both of them because it was great.
They were beautiful.
I had a blast.
Yeah, they look great.
They look great.
Keisha pulled some joints out.
There were some joints she left off the table.
I think she proved her point man i think everything that i said going into this which was i think her discography
is there's a little more meat in there i heard that no you didn't it sounded like that 1000
no you did keisha lawson it's okay i'm telling you about my what my brain did i know when them
album when them early album cuts came on, that was every woman's joint.
Mm-hmm.
When it came out,
just wasn't,
that wasn't it last night.
I feel you.
Wasn't it last night?
Yeah.
But nonetheless,
it was beautiful.
Thank you to those
beautiful ladies.
Yeah.
I think they squashing
the rumors of Travis Scott
and Future,
so we just jumped the gun.
Yeah.
We just jumped the gun there,
but that's fine.
And you guys still have
the same take on that?
What's that?
That that's a fair matchup?
Oh, yeah.
I wanted y'all to think
about that a little bit.
Pox life.
You downloaded that
right after it went off.
Everybody know about
Pox life.
Get the fuck out of here.
Give me a speech
before Pox life comes on.
I mean, she told you about it, though.
Ashanti turned down a hook for you or something?
Hmm.
Okay.
Do it sound like I have some type of underlying issue with Ashanti?
Yes.
I'm just passionate about music, not people.
The people can...
No, but you're passionate about...
The people can change places.
Not Ashanti's music.
Passionate about Keisha's music.
I love Ashanti's music.
Okay.
I was just asking.
Fam, Ashanti is... Ashanti's music Okay I was just asking Fam Ashanti is
Ashanti's Ashanti man
So her joints is her joints
But
The same
I'm not gonna let niggas kill Mace
For having a
A kinda short discog
Because there's greats
With just short discog
Of course
I think Ashanti is a great
With a short discog
Okay
That's it
That's fair
But only you
Rain on me,
baby, there's joints in there.
But 20, you just can hear where it gets thin.
And I heard it get thin for Keisha twice.
But even then, I thought it was plant.
Okay.
Listen, Ashanti just performed everything better to me.
So outside of me having her win,
yeah, if you just print out the song list we
wouldn't need to do verses performance matters to me yeah ashanti performed everything better
than keisha cole i'm sorry the mic was fucked up for keisha because she was really singing
but that's a factor for me i'm sorry i'm with you like i'm with you that's partly it's partially
her dj or whoever sound guy is they're loading the music too much and putting her mic too high
it's only when she started to sing,
like the mix went bad.
This is a performance.
It started out with producers just playing records back and forth.
That's cool.
This was,
they're performing now with this verse.
Yeah, but even now,
I don't put much stock in that
because you have soundcheck.
True.
See, I fall on the opposite side
of what y'all are saying.
If I'm Keisha Cole
and I've watched every songstress
get up on verses
and sing their song and it'd be beautiful
then yeah I'm gonna get a little irk now that I have to sit down and y'all are telling me I can't
move and y'all are following the the whatever their little framing shit is that they're doing
because you got sick when you wasn't like I would have I would have answered I would I'm a singer
yeah but that's not my voice goes it's not because the sound was fucked up.
But I heard the amazing ability through the fucked up sound.
Everybody else said it sounded like shit.
I'll take your word for it.
But yeah, I would be angry if as a singer, I can't stand up.
I can't sing out loud.
That's my bag.
I would be mad about it.
Just for the record, Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight sat down the entire time.
No, they didn't.
And Brandi and Monica sat for some of it, too.
But no, I agree.
The free range to move around as a singer,
yeah, you would want that.
They stood up and had a sing-off.
They stood up and had a sing-off.
Listen, I'd have probably enjoyed it better
if they were in the same place,
and Keisha might have felt a little better if they were in the same place and Keisha might have felt a little better
if they were in the same place
that's valid
oh yeah that I'm not
yeah that's all
I wouldn't argue that at all
and don't ever bring up
two of the greatest
in the fucking world
no I'm just saying
we can't make excuses
if you're a singer
you can sing
Patty LaBelle can sing
underwater
yeah but that
when you're a singer
you can do that
that's all I'm saying.
I've got a whole list of singers that can't.
When you can sing.
I have a list of singers who can't do that.
They're not really singers then.
It's a difference.
Just know it's a difference.
That's all I'm saying.
You're talking about gods and mortals.
You're talking about gods and mortals.
No, I'm talking about singers and not singers.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Pac's life.
My life?
That was your shit?
Did Ashanti write Hail Mary?
I don't think so.
Scream Man checked that one.
To live and die in L.A.
Scream Man, don't check that one.
To live and die in L.A.
Hey, Scream Man.
Don't check that one either.
Let's see if Ashanti's pin was on To Live and Die in L.A.
Holy shit!
What happened?
Against all odds.
I think I heard some Ashanti harmonies on that one.
No, that wasn't her.
I missed the random hood chick that would sing on classic rap records.
We don't know where any of them are.
Nah.
They were usually out of key.
It was great.
I think we know where all of them are.
The internet found every one of them.
They found...
Oh, excuse me.
Who used to sing
on these records?
Where my guy Rel at?
I have no idea
where Rel's at.
Probably somewhere
right in our head.
We know where Lil Mo is.
No, I'm not talking
about the ones
that we know
that had solo careers.
Oh, the hood shit.
She wasn't even credited.
I'm talking about
some of our favorite
90s records
from rappers.
Where's Sakitha?
Yeah, we don't know who was singing on a lot of those records.
They didn't go on to have budding solo careers.
Parks didn't allow credits to be released back then?
Parks, where were the credits in the 90s?
Where was title?
They stick a U2 with that shit.
Somebody tell Parks that Spotify has credits.
They do, but they're not full credits at all.
It's just a songwriter.
Tell us. Talk your shit, bro. not full credits at all. Take, take, tell, tell,
talk your shit,
pan to the camera.
Talk your shit.
Look.
That was,
that was his pan.

Heavens was a violent place.
It was. I walked by
it frequently while violence was happening
like i'm just trying to go get q-tips there was bodies littered outside heavens i almost got me
and ish killed that night like killed really god has saved my life on so many occasions
the inauguration
what you don't remember when we missed just getting shot by about 30 seconds in front of
heavens and they killed that dude out front we was parked where the murder happened yeah like 30 seconds we we missed that damn
sometimes just walking up steinway like you have to be careful about what the commotion is and what
to be nosy with sometimes i tap hell sometimes i tap the security there's a big crowd across
street i tap the security in front a big crowd across you i tap the
security in front of melody like hey man what's going on out there yeah man just dude just drove
by shot this whole shit up so that dude over there that's laying down yeah he's dead that that's
yeah yeah that's how i learned some interesting nights over here that's how i learned that uh
and this is stupid to say that this is how you learned this, but that situation is how I learned that
when you die, your dick gets
hard.
Huh. I might have to fact check that one.
No, it's a fact. You can Google it.
It's a blood rush thing.
You die and your dick is hard. They never showed you that
on Law and Order. I've heard that people
shit themselves. But dude that was laying there on Steinway
and they kept walking by him, rest in
peace to dude too because that was a horrible,
horrible night.
That was bad.
Yeah.
That was bad.
That went from Starlets
to Steinway.
So you saw a dead body
and you noticed
he had a stiffy?
Is that what you're telling me?
I didn't want to ask it.
Like fuck all this,
fuck all this other shit
you're talking about right now.
Is that where you're going
with this story?
Because you say,
yo, dude on Steinway,
rest in peace,
but you know,
and then you went somewhere else.
Like if you're telling me you saw a dead body and noticed that this nigga had a woody, me, dude, don't stop me, rest in peace, but you know, and then you went somewhere else.
You telling me you saw a dead body
and noticed that
this nigga had a woody,
me and you
going to go outside
and shoot the fish
right now
is all I'm saying.
He said,
that was a tragedy,
but Duke is packing.
That's what I'm saying.
And Rory keeps
trying to make you get it.
No, no, no, no, no.
And Park stinks
the three of us again.
I'm not trying to make
anybody nothing
that they're not.
I'm asking,
No, I didn't notice
his hard dick
as he was laying there
deceased. It sounded like that's where you were going saying it sounded like that well when the EMT when the ambulance and all that shit
came I did ask why he's naked okay cuz they stripped him naked and in them
telling the story of why why he was naked they say yeah and people keep
walking by cuz dick is hard and that's what happens
when you die.
Your dick is hard.
I was like, all right,
I learned something.
Thank you, security guy
who knows what happens
when people die.
I didn't know that.
Was he coming out
of a strip club?
Nah, you know what they said?
Oh, that's what you said?
That was a great shot.
He might have thought
he had action.
You know what I'm saying?
Niggas came and pushed
his shit back. That's fucked up, man. He on his way to he had action. You know what I'm saying? Niggas came and pushed his shit.
That's fucked up, man.
He on his way to get some action.
You know what I mean?
Just pop the blue boy inside the spot. Just pop the Nami.
You pop the Nami.
You didn't flag a thing.
You like that, right?
You like more made a little funny funny, huh?
I'm just saying that's a wild story, man.
That's a wild story.
I never heard that before.
Y'all are nuts. Yeah. I'm just, you know, wild story that's a wild story I never heard that before y'all are nuts yeah
I'm just you know
trying to clear up the story
that's all
I mean
dude was in
dude was in the strip club
looking like he was
having a good night
I guess something happened
with a dude
something happened
you want to leave the spot
he left the spot
went to another spot
got followed
to the other spot and nigga just went right in the spot. He left the spot, went to another spot, got followed to the other spot,
and nigga just went right in the spot with it on him and got busy.
Damn.
Damn.
What happens if the snow log opens?
Like as soon as he parked the car.
Neither is the hookah spot that just happened in front of him
because this wasn't happening.
We're already talking about a different dead body.
Oh, okay.
But that's what I'm saying.
In the summertime, and let me not bring down the value of Steinway.
We're not going over there. Support local businesses businesses it's a classic block yeah for real them killers were so hype when amazon was coming
it was all like yo why did amazon choose virginia
hey i'll tell you why there's only been 20 bodies in the past month over here.
No, you keep your property value the same.
Now raising your shit so you can buy weapons.
Yeah, you definitely had to plan out your late night bodega runs.
Like, ooh, 2 o'clock on a Friday.
Killers ain't out yet.
They're still getting drunk.
There's a couple times when they came early.
The same way the same way
I have stories about
trying to sell drugs
and just recognizing
that it wasn't for me
I have those same stories
about shooting guns
not for you
man this is loud
yeah
what the fuck is this
my hand is still vibrating
what the fuck is this
ow
yes
whoa
that thing is hot
piping oh my god What the fuck is this? Ow. Yes. Whoa. That thing is hot.
Piping.
Oh my God.
Wow, these movies are lying.
Right.
You know you can't. I need two hands for this shit.
You shouldn't be a shooter when it's not getting where it was supposed to go in the sky.
What?
You miss the sky?
I can't hit the moon.
Wait.
Missing the whole sky. What was your New Year's Eve like?
Honestly, back in the day,
and I remember somebody that was more equipped
with weapons than me.
I bought a gun one time, allegedly,
and I showed him the gun.
I thought it was pretty
because I thought his weapons were pretty bad.
It's like art
and he said oh man that thing is beautiful
you bust that thing yet?
and I was like
I never even thought of that
wait
you never thought about shooting a gun?
never crossed your mind
I should check this bad boy
I went right up
to the roof
no more gun for me the inauguration I should check this bad boy. I went right up to the roof. Oh, it was over.
I was like, all right, no more guns for me.
Yeah.
The inauguration.
Yes.
That's why niggas stole guns from me before.
But it's like, you know what?
He probably is going to use it.
Probably has some use for it.
Yeah, he probably needs that.
And I don't.
The inauguration.
Jennifer Lopez was there.
Alex Rodriguez was there. The
Obamas were there.
Sounds like a couples night. The
Clintons were there.
Georgie Duff. You are
going to trigger them all here, but keep going.
Listen, man. It's not
fun. That was Antifa?
That was Antifa at the inauguration.
If you ask more, Obama is part of it.
Why does they keep inviting J-Lo to do things where you have to be strong?
I mean, there's other options.
I love J-Lo.
She's from the Bronx.
She's one of our finest treasures out of the city.
But it's like, why do they keep trying to display her vocal ability?
There's other,
there's just better options.
I don't have an answer.
There's just better options
is all I'm saying.
There's probably a couple
different ways you can jump.
There's better vocals out there.
You are going hard
for Ashanti today.
Oh.
Whoa.
Well, not for nothing.
That topic is over, Mark.
I love J-Lo,
but it's just like,
you should be a very strong vocalist when you're singing at the inauguration is all I'm saying.
J-Lo is a performer.
We want to see you perform, dance, sing.
She's a performer.
She's a performer.
So you wasn't feeling the vocals?
No.
And I love J-Lo, but just stop hiring her to do these things where you have to display her vocal ability.
That's not her strong suit, T?
Yeah, that's not her strong suit? That's not her strong,
yeah, that's not her strong hand.
That's all I'm saying.
She looked great.
She looked amazing.
Of course.
Always.
You just got to get better,
some better vocalists to do these type of engagements
is all.
So you're saying
women are to be seen
and not heard?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
That's not what I'm suggesting.
I think you're saying J-Lo.
Just shut up.
Only J-Lo
should be seen and not heard.
I'm just saying
we should play to people's strength
and not their weaknesses.
So you're saying J-Lo was fired
when she started performing?
No, just play to people's strengths.
That's all.
Get somebody up there that's vocally strong.
Like Garth Brooks.
Hey.
He actually did good.
Hey, I'm not mad at Garth.
You know what I mean?
Now I think about it,
Trump maybe did have a point.
Chrisette Michelle can really sing.
I'm sorry?
I mean...
Maybe Trump is a better A&R than Biden.
He has a better ear?
Oh, my God.
Did Crescent Michelle agree to that money?
Yes, she did.
Listen, all the legend.
She said she didn't.
I don't know.
She did.
She took that $250,000 right away.
I don't know you guys.
Yes, she did.
Absolutely.
Shout out to Crescent. I didn't know the guys. Yes, she did. Oh, shout out to Corsette.
I didn't know the inauguration was something that I was supposed to be watching until everybody
that was calling and texting was like, yo, I'm watching inauguration.
So I was like, all right, I'll cut it on.
Yeah, it was a full day.
I didn't realize it was a full day event like that.
My mom got real spicy with me when I said, no, I'm not watching.
Why did they do that?
Got really mad at me.
Yeah.
I was like, I'll catch the highlights.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't need to watch this.
I wanted to just see.
I wasn't really watching for the inauguration,
but I was watching to see them escort Donnie Don out the White House
when they pulled out the little miniature red carpet,
put it in the back of the White House, like seven dudes out there sad.
Yeah.
Poor Joe Exotic, man.
He thought he was coming home?
Why?
They say he had a limo out there.
Yeah. You writing it down right?
A little flag, flaggy flag?
It was a stretch hummer or some shit.
He said he has hair and makeup done in prison, which I'll leave my thoughts.
Yo, pull up what Joe Exotic said when he didn't get released.
Because he thought he was alerting us that the Don doesn't care about us.
Fam, you can't think that the Don is releasing you and then when it don't happen, you come to tell us he don't care.
No, we was telling you.
Imagine getting your hair and makeup done to get out of prison and then you don't.
And now you sitting in the day room with hair and makeup looking like a snack.
You're just fine in prison now.
You fucked. You need to get out. That's how fine in prison now. You fucked.
You need to get out.
That's how my exes that wanted to leave felt.
Always takes it there.
I understand.
They was getting all done up to break up.
Where you going?
Come on, let's work it out.
I love you.
I love you still.
Do we ever get into the breakup photo shoot?
I love you still.
In the two months that we wasn't on the best terms,
all the bitches I met, They don't compare to you
So I'm back
I'm back
That's great when you learn
That the new bitches
Don't compare to the bitch
You fucked it up with
Come here pumpkin
Come here stinkums
Did the breakout photo shoot
Work on you
That'd be working
That shit works
That shit works
It's effective
Why do they do that?
Well,
from what I've heard,
they say they just
feel really down
and they need a confidence
booster for themselves.
They need a bunch of dudes
to like them.
Just to show that
I feel pretty again.
See what you can't play?
A bunch of dudes
to inbox them,
yo,
I'll smash them cakes.
See what you can't play?
You can't play with me like that
because I'll come off that shit.
Like,
if enough niggas
is liking you,
I'll get home like,
woo, woo, woo. Joe Exotic was saying something. All right, see. Like, if enough niggas is liking you, I'll get home like, whoo, whoo, whoo.
Joe Exotic was saying something.
All right, I was too.
All right, this is Joe Exotic.
I was too innocent and too gay.
All right, bro, you're staring at me, so come on, let's get to it.
What's up?
What do you want to say?
Get your shit up.
You be getting off to dudes liking your chick?
1,000%.
I like when my woman is desirable to people.
I like that. Okay. I don't like a partner that's not desirable to people. I like that.
I don't like a partner that's not desirable to people.
That's reasonable.
Do you?
No.
I like a partner that's desirable to me.
Yo, let's stop.
No more hip-hop talk.
Come on.
Joe Exotic wasn't hip-hop.
Okay, go ahead.
He wasn't?
He had an album.
He put an album out.
He had merch.
That is true.
He had merch. He had true. He had merch.
He had merch.
He had merch.
I was looking for one of them teams.
No, Griselda versus Joe Exotic.
Who are you taking?
I was looking for a Joe Exotic.
Oh, we're getting a Griselda next.
I'm glad you said that.
Come on, Rory, unpack this.
You like a woman to be desirable to you.
Explain that to me.
I think that kind of goes without saying.
I would like to desire my partner.
Of course.
I think what Rory is saying is that it's kind of weird that you, Joe,
get off from guys liking your girl.
And your people.
Anybody.
Oh, okay.
Not just guys.
If my partner is desirable and turns heads.
You want a woman that's attractive.
That turns me on.
I think that's kind of normal.
You might have worded it in a way that was a little weird.
Being attracted
to women that are deemed
attractive to other people. But I think what Rory is saying
to me is a myth. That's the only reason
I paused right there. I don't think men
believe. I want you to be desirable
to me. And me only. I don't believe that
men are trained that way.
To me only, of course not. I don't
think I have the
most eclectic taste
that I think only I find this woman attractive.
Of course I'm sure other people find her attractive. Oh, you're just making fun of me
because it turns me on. Yes.
No, of course. Because there's chicks
that most people
think are the super baddest chicks in the world that aren't
my taste. So I don't get off because a bunch of dudes
like that girl that got horrible surgery right like that's just not for me i don't
get off because other dudes like her right you got it right got it no of course i'm sure all women
that we've dated or date are attractive to more than just us
and that's why i'm here that's that's how I got here to this take
that y'all might think is weird
because I've dealt with the girl
when you walk in
ain't nobody pay you
no mind at all
pay her not an inch of attention
hey Joe what's up man
go ahead man
just go ahead
hey Joe
just go ahead
hey Joe
hey Joe
if you want to use the bathroom
for two hours
you can
anybody gonna do
nothing to your girl
anybody gonna talk to her
try to pass her a number
on a paper towel
nothing none of the stuff that niggas do she will she will be just fine if
you leave her there for hours and that'd be the girl that you leave for hours and come back and
say you left me for hours bitch you wasn't gonna do nothing these niggas don't want you he's a real
lot dope boys in here you ain't got enough he's dead he's ain't the fake dope boys those are real
niggas bitch you got a little way to go. You were safe.
All right, I was too innocent and too gay to deserve a pardon from Trump.
Say you're quoting somebody.
I'm trying to help you, bro.
Yeah, that transition was a little... It was a crazy transition.
I'm doing it as a friend.
These are Joe Exotic's words, not Joe Button's words.
Who's also exotic.
And innocent and gay.
Now you read it.
You read it now.
I don't want to read it no more.
I'm done.
I was way too innocent and too gay in capital letters to deserve a pardon from Trump.
I only matter to Don Jr.
By the way, sick sentence.
When he needed to make a comment about me to boost his social media posts.
Boy, were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for equal
justice. His corrupt friends all
come first. Wasn't Joe Exotic
didn't he go to jail for trying to set up
a murder? I believe that was. That's a little
different than you know I sold some weed.
And also like shooting a bunch of animals. I think
there was some animal abuse.
Sorry gays. You can't get this one.
Yeah. Yeah the gays. You can't get this one. Yeah.
Yeah, the gays can get a lot, but.
Not Joe Exotic's freedom?
Not Joe Exotic. Not killing animals.
No.
Why did he think he was coming out, though?
And why did he think that Don actually cared about whatever he was talking about?
Well, he seems like they're kind of in the same.
Don said, I mean, not Don.
Joe Exotic was seeing Snoop put a call.
And he's like, you know what, man? I'm calling, too. If Snoop put a call and he's like you know what man
I'm calling too
if Snoop calling
fuck
let me call my man Don
Joe Exotic
doggy style
you gotta sit up
you gotta go sit that one out
Joe Exotic
gotta sit that one out
but now explain it to me
Wayne wasn't in jail
I mean maybe Joe Biden
might get him out
he had caught the
whatchamacallit
gun charge recently
but he wasn't in jail
no
so see I'm stupid
so when you tell me pardon,
I think you're letting somebody out of jail.
But you get rid of the case.
I guess so. Remember he took a plea right away
and everyone's like, oh wow, okay. That's
kind of crazy. He said guilty immediately.
Because he had this plan
already. He talked to Don Don.
Yeah. But according to Wayne's
lawyer, he did not talk
to Donald Trump to get pardoned.
All right.
And a lawyer has never lied.
No, no.
Or a rapper.
Or the president.
Or a Republican.
Also, Wayne came out and was like, okay.
You putting two and two together now?
He did a verse for me for free.
No doubt.
I love Wayne.
If there's something to be said about him, then Noriego or one of the other podcasts,
I'm sure, will do an amazing job covering it.
Elliot Academic.
Somebody will.
Yeah, get to it.
My Trump partner, Kodak Black,
and Kwame Kilpatrick in Detroit.
There's a few names up there
that we may recognize.
Listen, man.
Ghost should try to stay alive.
What? He would have been all right. listen man Ghost should try to stay alive what?
he would have been a height Ghost
he could have let him off the hook
you know Trump
would get pardoned
pardon Ghost
yeah
they say Ghost was so happy
when he was with Angela
he was running around the street
dancing on
phone poles
I think it was miserable at home Angelo, he was running around the street, dancing on phone poles.
I think it was miserable at home.
Yeah, when you go back and really get into power.
I got to watch at least season one again.
He was so happy to bump into her in a club.
Yeah.
It's his high school love.
Thought Tasha went to fuck the driver.
Yo, have you fucked my driver, fam...
Don't do soul like that.
I'm about to say,
soul back there. Soul back there blaming your queen.
Right?
Why is blaming so funny?
Blaming is funny. Blaming is funny.
Oh, Joe, coming around the corner now.
Right here.
No, no, no.
Ten minutes.
Yeah, he hit me yesterday.
I'm praying.
Yeah, I know.
I'm praying.
I'm praying.
You're lucky I got no pussy around, god damn it.
I heard somewhere that part of the reason Power came to an abrupt ending, even though
it wasn't abrupt, it was five really successful seasons, is that Amari had, there was some
tension between him and Courtney.
Courtney?
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know how true that is
and I'm not one to gossip.
Sometimes.
Yeah, I love gossip.
Yeah.
I do.
Look at Tasha.
Harlot.
All right,
so I don't have anything
to say about the inauguration.
I watched it.
I watched Trump leave.
Beautiful.
J-Lo, beautiful.
Lady Gaga, beautiful,
beautiful outfit. Gaga kills. Gaga kills anytime she shows up somewhere. That's true. I watched Trump leave. Beautiful. J-Lo, beautiful. Lady Gaga, beautiful, beautiful outfit.
Tom Hanks, beautiful.
Gaga kills.
Gaga kills anytime she shows up somewhere.
That's true.
I'm on to Gaga.
Gaga has made her way to my White Hall of Fame.
Sure.
She's up there.
Yeah.
She's there.
She's solid.
She's there for me.
She does a good job.
And she got into her little Juilliard bag, got into her opera.
The pace kept changing.
The tone.
Gaga's real
like she's the real deal
she's legit
for sure
and I maybe
wasn't so aware of that
when she was the biggest artist
in the world
well she was doing dance music
so you don't necessarily
translate that to
she's the real deal
but she
but if you hear her records
you know her records
yeah
oh no I know
yeah
right
that's that shit that's the shit Yeah. Right?
That's that shit.
That's the shit.
Hey, when that song was out, what year was that?
Probably 2010, maybe.
Somehow they were still, oh yeah, Slaughterhouse. They were trying to get me to, I was at award shows still somehow.
And that was Slaughterhouse.
Yeah, that was Slaughterhouse. Yeah, that was Slaughterhouse.
We was at award shows
and when Lady Gaga came,
like, they pushed
the A-listers out the way
is what I'm trying to say.
That's Gaga.
That's Gaga coming.
Same thing they do
when Rihanna comes now.
Like, it's some of them
where you A-listers have to move.
Sorry, Slaughterhouse.
There's not enough room here.
Yeah, you guys can go
get a beverage now.
But I don't even like how y'all praising this white
woman and tearing down J-Lo, but that's cool.
Well, Gaga
can sing.
I thought you were about to say, and tearing down
slaughterhouse, but... No, we
can tear you guys down.
That's fine.
You tore them down.
I did not tear them down.
I'm about to say, what are you talking about?
I didn't.
Okay.
I had a really great time watching the inaugurations, whatever it's called.
Sure.
The inauguration, awesome, wonderful, cool.
Listen, y'all want to talk about everything but Griselda.
Look, all of a sudden.
Let's talk about it.
Talk about it then.
You are inside.
Give it to me.
It's trolling.
That's all it is.
He's done this before.
Yeah.
It's just trolling.
It's a lie.
Has he?
I don't believe that for one second.
That's a lie.
I didn't know.
Stop it, man.
Peg, I'm on your way as a troller.
Call one of the niggas and let me hear them say I'm trolling.
He's trolling.
He's done this before.
This is just him fucking around.
Like, nigga,
we not like the rest of these niggas.
We not beefing.
Like, we're family for real.
He's just having fun on the internet.
Them niggas ain't beefing, man.
He's done this before.
This is nothing new.
He's done this before.
Trust me on that.
They're legitimately family.
Yeah.
Trust me on this.
This is trolling. They're not beefing. What me on that. They're legitimately family. Yeah. Trust me on this. This is trolling.
They're not beefing.
What does that mean?
I've definitely beefed my family.
Yeah, I don't understand.
What is Parks talking about?
No, no, no.
But they're not beefing.
This is him just fucking with the fans.
They're not beefing.
You can see a lot of people, even in the comments,
is like, yo, y'all really feeding into this.
He does this a lot.
Okay. See? James Harden didn't get it. Stop tro really feeding into this. He does this a lot. Okay.
See?
James Harden didn't get it.
Thank you.
James Harden's sad.
Well,
Maul is their publicist
and you can never really
take a publicist's
statement for real.
No,
you just,
you can just tell
when certain shit
is just like,
all right.
Okay,
so my new question is
then why doesn't he stop?
Because he's not
just affecting
the people
that you're trying
to get it to affect.
Like now,
there are fans of yours
that are confused.
Yeah, but most of the fans
know he's trolling
is what I'm saying.
Some may be like,
what really?
So what is the point
in confusing 15%
of your fans?
I'm not saying
it's a point.
I just don't get it.
He's just probably like,
yo, y'all really think
that we beefing about,
what is there to beef about? Like we all do and all things. Come on, we'll stop that. I'm just saying like, yo, y'all really think that we beefing about, what is there to beef about?
Like, we all doing our thing.
Well, there's always.
Now, come on, Moe.
Stop that.
I'm just saying, with them, they're all successful.
They're all putting out music whenever they want.
We've seen the most successful groups beef.
I'm not talking about them, but there's many reasons why a group would beef.
Yeah, when things aren't.
So when you troll that way.
Yeah, but when you feel like, but most beefs happen in groups when someone feels like I'm not able to create
or I can't put out shit
when I want,
I can't do this,
I can't,
they don't have that problem.
These niggas drop
whenever they want to drop.
Like,
what would they be beefing about?
You could still have
internal problems with your family.
You can,
absolutely.
Not music related.
And I'm sure they have
internal problems,
but it's nothing like
I'm not Griselda
and I don't fuck with them
and they don't fuck with me.
it's not that sweet.
We watched Q-Tip and fife rest
in peace publicly beef and they they consider themselves family they knew each other since
they were in kindergarten i watched public enemy public uh publicly beef yeah but we know why they
i watch mad groups publicly beef is all i'm saying you know we didn't know we didn't know
what you're saying this and i'm reading this i could read it through those eyes i could read it
and see it as trolling but what i'm saying is why cause that reading this. I could read it through those eyes. I could read it and see it as trolling.
But what I'm saying is,
why cause that state of confusion
for the people that will be fooled that way?
I didn't know that until you said that.
Well, if you followed him, he's done this.
Conway has done this before.
And to your question,
these days and ages,
yeah, this type of shit is what people want.
Do you know how much those guys like wrestling?
Yes, I do. So you know how much those guys like wrestling? Yes, I do.
So you're saying they're pulling from
the old wrestling playbook.
I mean, it seems that way to some degree.
This is the type of shit fans like in music now, man.
Alright, let's say I'm subscribing
to what y'all are saying.
What data shows me that this is effective?
But I don't think
everything is done to be effective.
161 quote tweets.
2,000 likes.
Yeah, like,
I don't think he's doing this for data or to
work. I think he was just doing it fucking with the fans.
Yeah, he's just on his Twitter. It worked, so he kept going.
Yeah, y'all think that we beefing? What the fuck are we beefing about?
I don't like it.
No, but you ain't gotta like it. I don't even like fake beefing.
But this is, this isn you This isn't current though
This is what
Five days ago
That's current
Six days ago
That's current
That's not current online
Word
Online time
On your timeline
Six days ago is not current
If a nigga shot at you
Five days ago
You have current beef
That's not on the timeline
No no no
That's real life
You're in a beef currently
Yeah yeah but that's not
You shouldn't come pod
You should go
They might bust through this window.
Yeah, but that's like you trying to kill me.
You can't shoot someone on a timeline.
Yeah, no.
I'm talking about just fucking with the fans on the internet.
All right.
You guys got it.
Yeah.
You guys got it.
Bullshit.
Glad to see that you're trolling and none of this is serious.
That's the important part.
But Conway has two amazing artists that he's working with, though.
That's going to be a problem.
That's a fact.
Love the Genius and Jay Skis are super talented.
Super, super talented.
I'm really excited to hear more of their stuff.
But yeah, this is just troll.
Got it.
Does somebody want to catch me up to date with the Danny Lay debacle or nah?
Seems like they dug up an old tweet or something.
No, she put out a song, I believe.
No, not an old tweet.
Don't try to old tweet it.
Oh, I thought it was an old tweet they found. You know she put out a song, I believe. Yeah, not an old tweet. Don't try to old tweet it. Oh, I thought it was
an old tweet they found.
You know, that's what they do now.
Oh, Danny Lee's comments
are being flooded with backlash
over her new song, Yellow Bone.
That's what he want.
Oh.
So they're beefing over preference.
That's always one of those.
People can have preferences.
You can, but you can't say it.
Why not?
Because you can't.
You can't say what your preference is?
Nope.
Oh, okay.
I see people do it
all the time,
every day.
Shouldn't.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Why I can't make a song
for my light-skinned baddies.
Also say you're quoting someone.

When there are millions of songs
Speaking on all types Why y'all so sensitive and take it personal
god damn and i agree with her because of colorism yeah but she's not saying that in a way black and
brown light-skinned girls are prettier than she's not saying that it's not what she's saying

Well, you're a fan, aren't you?
I like Dany Lee too.
I didn't hear it.
Okay.
Not rapping.
Oh, she's rapping on the song.
I don't know.
Joe is a fucking idiot.
I'm not a fan of her rapping.
She rapping on the song?
I don't know.
Just say you didn't hear the fucking record, man. I said that. Okay, yeah. I didn't hear it. But I'm saying a fan of her rap, but she having a song? I don't know. Just say you didn't hear the fucking record, man.
I said that.
Okay, yeah, no, I didn't hear it.
But I'm saying I wouldn't assume that she was singing the lyrics that were in question.
And even if those are the lyrics you're singing, I'm not listening to it.
Yellow Bone, that's what he want?
Yeah.
What is the problem with that?
Play the song.
Let's hear it.
Maybe the cadence changes it.
Maybe the beat got hit at the baseline?
Yeah, man, let's see how she said it. Maybe she did sing it. Well, she's hear it. Maybe the cadence changes it. Maybe the beat got hit at the baseline? Yeah, man.
Let's see how she said it.
Maybe she did sing it.
Well, she's a singer, right?
I believe so.
She raps too, though.
Yes.
She's one of the hybriders.
Oh, okay.
Sing rap.
She's hybridy.
I don't know if I ever heard her rap.
Yeah, she's rapping on her song.
Is it called Yellowbone?
Yeah, I guess it's called.
You named it, that nigga.
Dying to name something Yellow Bone in honor of you.
You're not yellow.
I'm orange.
Yellow Bone is what he loves.
Turn this off.
Turn this off.
Yeah, no, I'm cool.
See, I know the records from Danny Lay that I should fuck with.
The first half of Danny Lay's album, I really fuck with.
The second she start getting into this, it's not my bag.
It's not for me.
Let her do her teeny bopper shit.
Yeah.
Oh, that's my Danny Lay take, I guess.
Okay.

The Longshoremen
Specifically Union 1233 A shout out Because they are essential workers and a lot of them listen to you down here.
And I'm still waiting on my title at the Joe Budden Network.
I was going to ignore this text altogether and just see him at the next family reunion.
But since we're in a family conversation, I figured this was the right thing to do.
So shout out to the Longshoremen.
Of course. My dad was one once. A do. So shout out to the Longshoremen. Of course.
My dad was one once.
A Longshoreman?
I just learned what it was.
What's that union?
When my brother got high.
That's a union, right?
It's a union.
Yeah.
What do they do?
I didn't know they unionized, but they'd be-
Longshoremen would have to unionize.
No.
Yeah.
I didn't know that they did that, but you work on ships and shit.
Oh, okay. Oh, this is a specific. Oh, okay.
Oh, this is a specific union.
Oh, there are different unions
depending on where you are
in the country.
I'm sure.
Okay, got it, got it, got it.
Yeah, but I just learned
what a longshoreman was, period,
when he got this job.
They work in the water.
Yeah, like you,
on ships, unload ships.
The boats, the ships.
Unload ships.
All that shit.
I'm sure I'll get all that.

Shoreman.
The longshore.
Yeah.
Or are they long?
Is everyone tall?
You know what?
Are we all gay?
Anyways.
I had no idea.
Listen.
I did not know.
On Patreon, I will call my father and he can break everything down.
Rory, we're not going to Patreon.
Or are we?
A thought bubble.
Jinkies. jinkies wait a second that might be an idea
jinkies i only hand out gems so throughout my career when my business when my first and second
business accountants robbed me and when my label execs and label heads abandoned me and
went somewhere else i gave uh my publisher my mom's address because i had been robbed too much
so i wanted all my royalty checks and my pub checks to go and my and an accountant for me to
look at it to go to my mom's house so i can see it so i can see it quarterly i mean was it that's
why i brought it up think about it it. So I was getting robbed.
My career, I got signed in, what, 2002?
Are you saying Miss Faye robbed you too?
Album came out in 03, so I got robbed maybe 04, 04, and maybe 06, I went and said, you
know what?
Changed his address.
Gave my mom's address.
So quarterly, for about 15 years, things have gone to my mom's house.
But I ain't really lived there, allegedly.
Right.
So now what's happening?
She's going through all your shit.
Tell me if that's smart now.
So I just got a text from my mom.
A check came in.
That's great news.
She sent me a picture of the check.
Underneath it says, woohoo.
Yo, moms are the greatest.
Hey, underneath it says Woohoo
I said
LMAO
Good
Cause I'm broke
And then she said
Oh you can have some of it
That's cool Miss Faye
Some of it
And I said
You're too kind
Now I'm gonna talk shit about you on the pod
And she said
There's a processing
fee.
Yeah. Real shit.
This was a good one too. Pump It Up must have
been ringing at Christmas.
This is a little higher
than the $2,500 that normally
comes every quarter.
So no, it's bad, Rory, because
and I'll wrap this up. The one time I went to change it
She was waiting for the check to come
Okay
And when it didn't come
She was like
Yo man
Call up there
Yeah yeah
See what's going on
Send me the number
If you ain't gonna call
Let me see what's up
Let me take
Cause all my
All my shit go to my mom now
You have to rethink that
Is all I'm saying
All my shit goes to my mom
All of it
Y'all are losers
No I didn't have that I should have For all this time I've been mad at you About accounting Yeah You have to rethink that is all I'm saying. All my shit goes to my mom. All of it. Y'all are losers.
No, I didn't have that talk. I should have done it for all this time.
I've been mad at you about accounting.
Yeah.
Maybe it was my mom this whole time.
Y'all are crazy.
All this talk you're doing, I'm like, I've been there.
All right.
It's always been that way for me.
My mom opened my shit.
She opened my shit one time, right?
So I knew she opened it because I said,
stop opening my stuff.
Just because I'm having a scent, they don't mean you can open it.
She's like, shit.
Exactly.
So she's like, all right, I'm not going to open it no more.
My mom opened all my mail.
The whole shit was wrinkled.
She tried to glue it back after she opened it.
She tried to put it back.
I said, yo, I know you've been in here.
Look at this shit.
No, I can't hide no money problems from my mom.
She texted me a screenshot of my mail and said,
you, sir, are being audited by the federal government.
You, sir, are in trouble.
You should go handle this.
That's funny.
That's moms, though.
No, you got to keep everything.
Moms is going to always be in your business.
They're always going to pop up at your house.
You're just always going to be their baby.
That's it.
She got the music money.
You ain't touching one pod penny money.
That's what you think.
No, no, no, I'm lying.
Yeah, I know.
None of what I'm saying is true.
No, no, trust me.
I'm with you on that.
And then it's mom.
You can't tell mom no, so.
Well, then that's the other thing.
I mean, if we're just going to get transparent here,
and this is not our Thursday episode.
Oh, wait, what Thursday episode?
Were we together yesterday?
Ooh.
Jinkies.
Jinkies.
Y'all so dumb.
Wait, what was I about to say to Del?
Something funny.
Something about your mom.
Yesterday, yesterday.
One pod bench.
I don't remember.
She's only getting the pump it up money, not the pod money. right you know yes that's that's a lie well what were the splits oh that's
what i was gonna say so you got to be careful with that spotify deal came along i thought i was
balling when i thought i was balling i did the things that all of my drug dealer friends and
royce the five nine said they would do at some
point for their family. I always hear Royce
say, yo, I'm buying my dad a
post office or just some shit
so he don't have to work in the post office no more.
But that's a real thing for rappers, you know.
I just don't think he's going to
buy his father a post office.
But it triggers me when white people laugh about
some black
impoverished aspirations i'm talking about
a job buying some white
you didn't you didn't inherit that
i just had to be born wait your father's not a judge parks has restaurants i don't yes you do
why are you still here with us Parks owns four dive bars
Yeah get the fuck out of here
No Joe you're good at narratives
I was laughing at the sentence
That you said he was gonna buy
A post office
I don't even think you can do that
You can franchise like a UPS
And they have like a pickup spot
Really
Oh UPS yeah
Nevermind
Yeah
Well when the Spotify money
Was rolling in
Somehow
Somehow I was conned
Into giving my parents

Just live.
That's dope.
But it's not dope.
Well, it is dope.
But you can't readjust those things when they happen.
So when Spotify left, I mean, I couldn't go back and say, yo, this is what happened to your parents.
You're getting into motion?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because they kept trying to gas me like, yo, I know what you're doing.

Get some water. Talk to your trainer. You're out of breath. We got No, go sit in the corner. Get some water.

You performed at the Barclays
Left
At the same.
That's enough.
That's enough.
Yeah.
That's enough.
That's when it's really the shit, though.
That's when you just hit different.
Makes more sense.
Fam, what?
Yeah.
Look, he's still there.
Yo, fam.
What a guy.
No doubt.
Shout out to Rowdy.
Absolutely.
Welcome home.
So I finished the Tiger Woods doc.
Me too.
Really good documentary.
It's been a hard sell In my household
So I gotta watch it
By myself sometime
Why?
Why would that be a hard sell?
Tiger Woods doc
Really?
It's not really about sports
Oh yeah
Oh well
It's hard to convince a woman
That a documentary
About an athlete
Is not about sports
Gotcha
And a cheater
Rim
Come on Rim
Women look past all his greatness.
Women are fucking, oh my God.
Yeah, but he won 70 world titles.
I don't care.
He's literally done something that no one has ever done.
I don't care.
Yeah, but he was 35 when he did it, so.
Did you see him birdie that hole?
He's allowed to fuck that girl.
Oh my God.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
So break it down.
I don't care about spoilers.
I don't think there's really spoilers.
I think I...
He just didn't know how to cheat.
That's what you got from the doc?
You mean when you call in the voicemail and say,
hey, this is Tiger Woods.
Can you delete my number out of your phone?
Because I've been cheating.
He fell asleep and left his phone.
No, no, no.
Out in the open.
Yeah.
See?
See, I can't say nothing because Joe has witnessed me fall asleep with my phone on my chest.
And you ain't with no majors.
And brought a hurricane into his living room.
Yeah, you wasn't even home when that happened.
So imagine what they'll do when they're home.
I'm just saying, watching it, I had a different view
and appreciation of
what you have to go through
with stage parents.
Is that the right term?
Yeah.
I touched on that briefly.
Yeah.
Pause.
But the cheating part,
like, he liked her.
Well, that's what really
makes it cheating.
No, but he didn't.
He liked all of them. He gave all of them the same line. It was the same shit. But see, that's the really makes it cheating. No, but he didn't. He liked all of them.
He gave all of them the same line.
But see, that's the thing.
It was painted like Tiger Woods was a womanizing sex addict.
Aren't we all?
No.
I'm joking.
And I didn't get that from him.
If I have stage parents and I'm sheltered my whole fucking life
and you're not allowing me to do anything,
and then I become the man and it works.
I'm fucking.
And now you're not in my, dad is not in my corner anymore.
Actually, dad passed away.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
And I'm going to cut you off.
His father could not defend himself, but his father's friend talking about Tiger's father around him.
Just grabbing a bunch of chicks.
They had a little duck off spot,
and Tiger watched his dad fuck mad bitches.
Oh, so he's a chip off the old block.
He watched it as a child.
He's his father's son.
Bam.
Tiger Woods went to Lotus or Cheetah or Up and Down.
He went to Griffin.
Or one of the clubs.
Tiger did not go to Up and Down.
It was Griffin.
It looked like Up and Down when they showed it.
No, it was Griffin.
But Up and Down wasn't there. Was it Griffin, really? It was Griffin. Tiger looked like up and down when they showed it. No, it was Griffin. But up and down wasn't it?
Was it Griffin really?
It was Griffin.
Tiger was in Griffin?
Yeah.
I must have missed one Griffin night then.
I'm just saying he goes there a man long ago,
bags the young lady,
uses her number not even 10 minutes after he gets it,
and starts a relationship.
I'm never home.
Meet me in Orlando.
My wife don't know but so much,
and I can't speak to her.
Ladies, that's the recipe for cheating.
Why do women always act like cheating is just like,
oh my God, how could you do that?
There's mad reasons I did that.
I've been trying to talk to you in this house for fucking years.
I can't.
I'm the world's biggest athlete everywhere but in this house.

By the way
I'm not giving Shorty that credit
I'm giving it to Tiger
Exactly
Tiger knew it
He was getting his

He was getting his shit off
Cause that line Never hit the same when I say it in the house.
Like, yo, I made everyday struggle.
You know.
I cannot podcast without you.
They don't care about that.
They didn't care about that.
Thank God.
Yeah.
Word.
But wait.
Not just he liked her.
She liked him, too.
Of course she did.
He's the fucking biggest
golf player that ever walked the planet.
Absolutely.
She liked him. I would go to Orlando
for Tiger. I saw him
sitting by himself and I was like, oh, that's Tiger Woods.
I just wanted to go check on him. I bet you
did want to go check on him.
Her heart could have been in the right place.
Trying to change a Black Kings lineage. Get out of here, Rory.
What? I just said I would of here, Rory. What?
I just said I would fly to Orlando for Tiger.
What are you talking about?
He wouldn't date you.
No, I know.
He wouldn't.
He's not your type.
He likes him blonde.
Wait.
Hey, I can change for him.
He still tried.
Change your ways.
He tried to cover it up with his wife, right?
Like any other man would.
Yeah.
Regular.
Look, there's something that's about to come out.
Yo, it's not real. But wait. He covered it with the side. He did it the way all of us would. Yeah. Regular. Look, there's something that's about to come out, yo.
It's not real.
But wait, he covered it with the side.
He did it the way all of us would do it.
Yeah, he got on the phone with it.
He hit the side.
Listen, if she calls, you know what time it is.
They had the call.
They discussed this.
Yeah, they talked.
She held it down for him.
He went to show his wife the phone.
Here, look.
And that's how it happened.
If you don't feel that as a man, if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack.
Your girl loves to say, hey, let me play a game on your phone.
Hey, let me see that picture we took the other day.
No, you child.
Hey, I'll send it to your phone.
Yeah.
I'm going to send a picture to your phone.
You check it out.
What are the odds he gives her the phone and then shorty is hitting to see if he's okay?
Yeah.
And now you got to dig more. you got to dig more if that happened and when you dig more 90 more white girls come out
but they all are sad well it's they're not mad it's not been that yo i love did him i love did

There's no dance floor in Griffin.
No.
They don't serve food in Griffin.

The one thing that was missing.
I'm going out to meet my side girl and her crew.
Oh.
The one thing to me that was missing.
I like her crew's friends way more than your friends.
You don't even have friends.

When he had time for.
When did he have a crew?
What do you mean?
I mean, he became.
Homegirl was his only friend.
Like his dad said, once he became, you know, he started becoming a man.
It was kind of like he removed his dad out of his life.
Like he started having a social life away from, he wasn't, he was a man.
So what I'm saying is.
He did the same thing Aaron Hernandez did.
He went to the neighbor's house up the street and had a pajama party for the next five years.
No, no, no, no.
He had to, he didn't have any of, even if it's fellow golfers, if it's fellow athletes, if it's...
He just didn't have anybody around him that would tell him, like, fam, if you're going to...
You're the biggest...
You're one of the biggest figures in the world.
Not just golfers.
You're one of the biggest, most notable faces on the planet.
If you're going to cheat, don't have the cheating phone in the house.
Leave it at the golf...

I still have to watch all of it.
Fargo.
I saw this last night, just the trailer for season three of Gamora, and was like, I don't know if I'm prepared for this.
I've been waiting years for this.
Maybe two years.
It's been a while. I don't know how long it's been.
It's been a while.
And now that it's here, I've already been home feeling like I don't have enough time to catch up On the TV shows That Same Like for life

Of the season two actually
It took me a week
To watch two episodes
Of Tiger
Yo I didn't
The last episode
Of Your Honor
Not through with it yet
Like
So how the fuck
I'm gonna do this now
That's my shit
Look at this now
Oh my
Oh come on
This is one of
The few shows That I actually enjoy.
Because you have to have the subtitles on that, obviously.
Yeah, yeah.
But this is one of the few shows that I actually enjoy the subtitles.
I like subtitles.
I put subtitles on with English TV sometimes.
I had to have subtitles on with Peaky Blinders because the accent was too heavy.
Do y'all think beautiful coffins are a waste of money?
Yes.
Why?
Beautiful coffins?
Because it's gone in the ground anyway?
Yeah.
I mean, for me personally, give me the cheap shit.
But I mean, if someone wants a fancy one, God bless.
I'm cool.
Put me in a box.
When we went to the-
Don't put me in the dirt.
That's a beautiful-
Burn me up.
That is a beautiful-
Scatter me about.
Whatever this is, it's beautiful.
That's crazy.
That's a beautiful right there.
Yeah, that's crazy.
When my grandfather was dying, rest in peace, Willie Button, the greatest.
When he was dying, that's when I found out just how much caskets cost.
Yeah.
That's also when I found out they had used caskets at Costco's.
Wait, how does that work exactly?
You go on Costco's.com?
No, no.
Type in used caskets.
Where do you procure the used?
They use it for the funeral.
Then they take them out of it, put them in just a regular box.
A regular wood box.
No, it's actually a common, common thing.
I'm sure.
That's fly.
Well, dying is expensive.
Funerals are expensive, for sure.
Dying is expensive here.
Yeah.
That's why I'd be so, not I'd be scared, but I've heard horror stories of people dying abroad.
Uh-huh. So not I'd be scared, but I've heard horror stories of people dying abroad and just some of the some of the rules and legalities when transporting a body from one place to another place.
You have to deal with the different laws and they bang you over the head.
I'm sure it's expensive and not everybody has it.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
I'm thinking if I die somewhere, man, the living people can fly where I had an accident.
Leave me there.
No shipping me around.
Leave me in London.
That's the one flight I'm not going to be happy when I land.
Oh, long flight.
Yeah, I didn't mean to do that.
That was totally a mistake.
I'm not that insensitive.
Yeah.
Turn this commercial off because I want to try to find time to watch this.
I just wanted to let the people know that Gamora's back.
That's my shit.
What else do we got that is important?
Let me see.
Let me see.
Rest in peace to Hank Aaron.
Oh.
That's where I was going next.
Yes.
Rest in peace to the legend.
Died at 86 years old.
I'm sure they haven't told us how yet.
Sleep?
Good. Died peacefully in his sleep. All right. And there's, you know, the internet is going to internet this. I'm sure they haven't told us how yet. Sleep?
Good.
Die peacefully in his sleep.
All right.
And there's, you know, the internet is going to internet.
There's things going around because he just received the COVID vaccine six days ago.
And then he passed today.
So, you know, the internet is going. Don't do that.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that.
That's what the internet.
I'm just saying, you know, the internet is going to internet.
I am urging, listen, while we have Fauci on and I'm conflicted, I don't think I'm taking it, but I certainly urge both my parents to take it.
Yeah.
And anybody else that's over 60.
Yeah.
Or if you have a compromised immune system or if your family members have a compromised immune system or.
Hank Aaron, 86, this is a long, beautiful life.
It's sad because you never want to lose one of our heroes this way,
but it's even sadder because it instantly brought me back to Kobe's passing
late January this time last year.
I was like, no, don't start this again.
Don't you go taking our black sports icons away.
Rest in peace to Hank Aaron.
Yes, absolutely.
Prayers, love, and condolences to his friends, family, and loved ones.
And thank you. Thank you for his contributions to not just sports,
just to our culture, our people,
and everything that he had to endure and fight for and withstand
so that we can freely go to ballparks and watch games and stuff like that
and even play.
Yeah, no, he's a legend for sure.
We had the two-hour mark.
I tried to breeze by this topic, but fuck it, I'll ask you.
Did y'all hear about them trying to kill my baby over Usher cover?
Snow Allegra?
Did you remind me? I didn't see it. No, I didn Usher cover. Snow Allegra. She did You Remind Me.
I didn't see it.
No, I didn't hear it.
I'm shocked I missed it.
Was it not up to par?
She didn't do a good job?
It was a different vibe.
It was a different vibe.
I would expect that, though.
It was different.
I would expect that.
Yeah, but she probably tried.
The internet probably thinks she tried to do too much jazz mataz
or tried to make too different.
But she's kind of a jazz singer.
Yeah, I know. A little bit. I know. They probably think she tried to do too much jazz mataz or tried to make but she's kind of a jazz singer yeah i know a little bit i know they probably think she tried to do too much with this
but i mean with a record that big just doing the cover is pointless like yeah if you're not
gonna jazz it up and again i haven't heard this i could hate it i don't know but i it's just very
you have to jazz up that type of shit. It's a fucking classic record.
If you're not going to do it differently,
why bother doing the cover?
Yeah.
Because that,
that the original,
you remind me is just a whole different vibe from what snow is anyway.
True.
So she would have to change it to make it live the way she lives.
Or you can leave it alone.
Well,
that's always an option.
Or you can leave it alone.
That's true. Like you're not forced into doing it. But if always an option. Or you can leave it alone. That's true.
Like you're not forced
into doing it.
But if you love the song
and you're a great singer
like she is,
I could see why
you might want to cover it.
And also back to what
we were talking about
with adapting to the times
of being an artist
during quarantine and corona.
Gotta get some content out there.
I can't perform.
I gotta shoot some shit.
I'm not ready
to put out new music,
but I gotta feed my fans. But I love you remind me, so I'll put that out. Shout out
to Snowman. Whatever the location this is, it's amazing where they shot this. She could
have shot this in Sweet Chicken. She would look beautiful. Look at that. That's not bad.
That's Staten Island, right? Yeah, That's the river between Bayonne and Staten Island
That's the Verrazano River
The Verrazano River
What else do we have to talk about?
Anything funny?
Y'all gonna be so mad
When I move to Austin, Texas
Oh wait a minute
Of course there's something funny
Austin's a great city
I feel you
Tommy is fighting Natalie Nunn
Huh?
Wait what?
What's Tommy?
Tommy from Love and Hip Hop.
Oh, Tommy.
Oh, Tommy is going to beat her ass.
He's fighting Natalie Nunn.
Why?
Wait, is this like a sanctioned fight?
Oh, it's like a celebrity boxing kind of situation.
Who you got?
What is this, a joke?
Tommy has a, she has an ankle monitor.
I saw Tommy at the Mondrian in Miami
And almost had smoke
She almost fucked me up
I had to clear things up
She was like
Yo you said something
Before with Moanin
I was like nah Tommy
I never even been on
Love Hip Hop Atlanta
I never even did that one
That wasn't even
Yeah yeah yeah
I fuck with Tommy
And I don't really fuck
With Natalie Nunn
So that'll be great
Okay
Are you gonna tune in
I didn't know you had
Beef with her
I didn't know you had Beef with Natalie Nunn, so that'll be great. Okay. Are you going to tune in? I didn't know you had beef with her.
I didn't know you had beef with Natalie Nunn.
I did.
Only Joe, man.
Prodigy Natalie Nunn.
Look at the range.
It's a wild list. You got range, man.
I got to give you that.
It's a wild list.
When is this fight?
I won't be watching. I don to give you that. It's a wild list. When is this fight?
I won't be watching.
I don't know if you guys have been... Well, let's see how it goes.
What?
I'm throwing a party.
Yeah, fuck what you're talking about.
Tommy's like Conor McGregor for me.
That's my CTV.
I feel like it'll be a quick fight.
This is becoming a big trend.
I don't know if y'all have been paying attention.
I have.
I mean, it's not...
Some aren't really celebrities,
but this boxing shit bag that's happening,
this is going to become a thing.
It better stop.
It only takes one or two people
to show people
a new way to get money
before everyone else attempts it.
How do you think podcasting
got so big?
Just stop.
Brandon, celebrity boxing shit
has been a thing,
but the bag's getting heavier.
Somebody's going to get hurt.
Somebody already got hurt. No, but somebody's going to get hurt. Somebody already got hurt.
No, but somebody's going to get really hurt.
You want to talk to Nate?
Don't play with this shit.
This is not something to just, let's go out there and just do this.
This is you getting punched in your face.
Yeah, but that's okay.
Okay.
Like getting punched in the face is only a big deal to niggas who can't take getting punched in the face.
Or never have been punched in the face. A lot of people think they can take getting punched in the face Is only a big deal To niggas who can't take Getting punched in the face Right Or never have been punched
A lot of people think
They can take getting punched in the face
I'm pretty sure Nate
Thought he could get
He could take that
My thing is boxing
Play football
You know
He thought he was ready
For that type of shit
Fighting and boxing
Are not the same thing
That's all
I'm getting at
So when you get in there
With somebody that
Even if they're not the best
At boxing
But have experience in boxing You you're going to lose.
It's going to be bad for you.
I don't care how many bar fights you won.
It's an art and a sport in that ring.
It's different.
You're going to lose.
Somebody said, nah, this ain't it.
Go ahead and sign up for that three-on-three tournament with Ice Cube, brother.
That's sound advice.
I would take that over.
You're pretty good at basketball.
We've seen that.
I am going to watch
if Elo decides to do this.
They haven't announced
an opponent fam yet right?
I don't think so.
But listen
I like Lamar's strategy here
if that's really not
how he give it up
in the ring.
I'm supporting
I might fake like I can't
fight for the promo vids.
I'm supporting Lamar
unless he's fighting like Michael Beasley or somebody. I might fake like I can't fight for the promo vids I'm supporting Lamar Odom
Unless he's fighting like Michael Beasley
Or somebody
Why'd you land on Beasley?
Because Michael Beasley was
Going to check out the game when he let Cat know
How he felt
He wasn't even in the game
Cat was just trying to inbath
I'll fuck you up
When I get back in the. I'll fuck you up.
Dude, when I get back in the game,
I'm fucking you up.
I'm subbing out now.
Oh, man.
Shout out to Michael Beasley, man.
I don't think I have nothing else that's imperative to get to.
Let's see.
Drake pushed back.
We killed Bitcoin.
Dave Chappelle has COVID.
I saw that, Yeah, yeah.
And they had pictures with him with Rogan.
I think Elon Musk was chilling.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was a lot of...
This one confused me when I read it.
Which quickly, by the way, this is going to sound real ignorant.
Then don't say it.
It's more asking.
You have a choice.
Elon Musk became the richest man in the world the other day over Jeff Bezos
yeah they're going back and forth
what does
Elon Musk sell
cause I've only seen like
50 Teslas in my life
oh you gotta get out more
spaceships
I don't know what he does
that's the one
I saw he had a flamethrower
and I like when he talks
spaceships are really fucking expensive
and then he built
a subway in LA
that I can't ride.
Yeah.
Spaceships is what I'm just talking.
I have no idea what he does.
I'm telling you.
I just know he's rich.
Have you heard of Mars?
I have.
He owns a lot of.
Remember that was a candy bars.
He owns a plan.
He owns Mars.
Yeah.
Okay.
He made it.
$188 billion.
Mars is the new Bitcoin.
And he's going to make sure Rory V gets there.
Gets to Mars.
Safely. You know, Rory,
he ain't never going to try to think of a name.
Rory VI. I already got my name.
Rory VII. The eighth Rory.
What's your name?
Let me hear. I'm telling you.
Buttercup? The name
of his child?
Buttercup? No. his child Buttercup No
Maybe a dog
Listen
The fact that Joe thinks
His chin is so safe
In this living room
Is beyond me
Tell him how you feel Rory
Get your shit on
I'm gonna let his chin know
Yo and I learned in a fight
That my chin wasn't glass
First time he found
If you can take one
First time he found
Uh oh
Still intact
Throw him up Uh-oh. Still intact.
Throw him up.
Joe got hit in the shin. Oh, buddy.
I ain't fall.
Joe got hit in the shin.
He said, oh, yeah.
Now it's a fight.
That was it.
I don't even know what a glass joy is.
Like, I know what it is because we said it to people.
But that's when your shit gets shattered.
Yeah, yeah.
But I've seen someone get their jaw broken in a fight
and still whoop his ass with a broken jaw.
Oh, yeah, that happens.
So your jaw could be glass and still.
Y'all talking about jaw.
I fucking closed the fridge too hard the other day
and my hand was hurting.
I'm talking about a facial feature.
I'm like, I'm not fighting.
I ain't hurting my hands no more.
No.
All right.
Elon Musk is rich.
All right.
Go you.
Oh, yeah.
The COVID thing.
Chappelle, COVID.
Dave Chappelle has COVID
and that was confusing to me
because the one celebrity
I heard that was taking
every precaution
to not catch COVID
was Dave Chappelle.
But he was doing it in Ohio
under his rules. He went to Austin for a gig, I understand COVID was Dave Chappelle. But he was doing it in Ohio under his rules.
He went to Austin for a gig, I understand.
And we don't know what they was doing.
Right.
In Ohio, he was being great with the Chappelle.
Where does it say that he-
Which I can't wait for that Netflix special to come out.
No, but it didn't say that he went to Austin.
This happened in Austin, Texas.
Where does it say that?
I don't know where.
I just know for a fact it was.
I've seen the- Where can I see that? I don't know where. I just know for a fact it was. I've seen the-
Where can I see that?
On CNN.
That's what I'm saying.
Fantastic Banner, his remaining show.
His remaining.
See, what I read, it sounded like he had a tour coming he had to cancel.
Was he actively on the tour?
It wasn't a tour.
No, he was doing a-
Nobody's on tour.
A residency of some sort.
A run.
Yeah, but only in Austin because Austin right now
is a big stand up
comedy town
yeah but it's Dave
so Dave can't pop up
and do one show
I know I'm saying
a residency at
oh a stationary run
yes
he did a stationary run
yeah no
that's what a residency is
and Elon Musk was there
I think he was in that picture
yeah he was and Joe Rogan was there and I think he was in that picture. Yeah, he was.
And Joe Rogan was there.
And Grimes.
All right, so a bunch of rich people chilling.
Wait, they were playing Grime music?
That's his wife, Musk's wife.
We got sleepers. Should we edit that?
I mean, we got sleepers.
Just let me know.
It's good.
Why have to edit Grime music?
We love Grime.
I'll find a sleeper. Just trying to help. We don't have to. Listen. Just trying me know. It's good. Why have that in Grime? We love Grime. I'll find a sleeper.
Just trying to help.
We don't have to.
Listen.
Just trying to help.
I hope everyone's health in this photo is doing okay.
Oh, this looks like a COVID picture.
It does have that COVID vibe.
Where's the COVID filter?
All of them look like they have COVID here.
It looks like they got something else, too.
That's true.
Boy, Joe Rogan's gaining weight.
I see why he ain't standing up in that little spaceship. All right, go ahead. Go ahead. got something else, too. That's true. Boy, Joe Rogan's gaining weight. I see why he ain't standing up
in that little spaceship.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Hey, Rogan.
Give him two weeks in the gym.
Rogan, I think you look great.
Give Joe two weeks in the gym.

How I put a roof
On your throat, make you see what I see
That Poobie is a star, he don't need TV

On site with my side chick
Getting domain, spending domain
Main clueless like Stacey Dash

shouts to my guy K-Forest
alright we'll play something off this new
Pharaoh Munch and 13 album
this is Amnesia produced by me and
Pharaoh
Dyrus Jones
out now
out now
Mark Spichato
guitar I'm out now, Magnuson Day for Exorcism, Mark Smochato on guitar I woke up to a blinding light in my face, next where am I?
An attractive nurse replied, I see you
I retracted my first response
Contemplated my retort then
Thought to myself, okay, I see you too
Philosophical sergeant, war monkey, Caesar
I was seized and suffered head trauma
Now I suffer from seizures, wrote
Off cue in the palm of my hand
It's a contingency plan
Just to remember how to greet you
Amnesia
I'm sorry, what's your name again? Off cue, old man, no game, my memory slips
So I sip Hennessy quick to remember my own nostalgia
Rappers get on my nerves, fibromyalgia
The methamphetamines mean I'm a Methodist recorder
A Methodist with attention deficit disorder
So please can you forgive me if these words I never said
And trust me that they're there but they get stuck inside my head when I say
The sweetness of your charm
I'd never let go again
If I could hold you in my arms
I love you, love you
I love you, love you
So if sleep is the cousin of death then
Naturally naps are the nephew's anarkolepsy
Which will inevitably destroy your agility
When being sedentary becomes the sun of senility
It's becoming virtually impossible to cope
When I gargle with the lotion and brush my teeth with the soap
Scoop, how I left my cell in the refrigerator
My brain used to contain about a thousand gigs of data, now I'm watching new Al Pacino flicks screaming
Attica, Attica, vexed on the floor doing stretches for my sciatica, wide awake, staring at late
night, watching the roots perform like, wait, it's not Alex Haley in Africa, fragment of
thoughts on a non-linear thread, beautiful sentiments get deferredred after the blends So please can you forgive me if these words
are never said But trust me that they're there but they
get stuck inside my head when I say
Even when I lost I hear The sweetness of your charm I'd never let go again
If I could hold you in my arms
I love you, love you
I love you, love you I'm not a fool, I'm a chicken
There's another minute of guitar solo there,
but that's Pharoah Munch in 13 and Misha.
Hey, shut up.
We're recording.
That sounded great, Park.
Shout out to Pharoah.
I can't wait to listen to the album.
Congrats to you too, Parks.
Thank you.
That sounded really, really good.
Thank you. I appreciate it. And mute our mics from when that wasah. I can't wait to listen to the album. Congrats to you too, Parks. Thank you. That sounded really, really good. Thank you.
I appreciate it.
And mute our mics from when that was playing
because I don't think any of that shit.
That was a real good sleeper segment.
Rory, move your tiny MacBook over some.
The little one.
I didn't know the little laptop took up so much space.
He's 13 inches.
Move the seven inch over.
I didn't even know they made a seven inch.
Move your chin over.
Why doesn't Rory want to go? Rory Move your chin over. Why does Rory say fine?
I'm walking out first.
They're just trying to lie on you?
Yeah, man.
They'll be waiting out there.
Get the fuck out of here.
Oh, man.
Good part.
Good part.
I hate when I feel like there was something I meant to say that I forgot to say.
I don't remember now.
We'll be back Tuesdayuesday or will we you never know on the jbp god willing yes we will be yeah
god willing yes we will be and you bitch ass if something happened to me y'all still come to work
yeah we have to show right but what are y'all doing next Thursday?
Should we get up and kick it?
No music.
Oh, he turned your shit down.
I did the fade out for you.
That was your fade out?
All right, got it.
That's the original fade out.
Yeah.
Just the button.
Lower the volume slowly.
Right.
Man, what did you do here?
Where's the thing I'm going to do?
I'm helping people enjoy music, TV shows, and podcasts.
What is this?
I never even heard this.
What's happening?
What am I listening to?
I don't know.
What is that noise?
Is that Spotify?
Does it hack me?
Rory.
You put Spotify on his computer and it loots away?
Rory.
I'm lining Joe with Spotify.
Rory, don't put Spotify on my laptop.
Y'all saw Palmface when I said Spotify?
He almost had a conniption.
Hey, I love you guys.
Everybody's mad at Spotify.
While we're at it.
I saved that to the very, very end so you guys wouldn't call me a bitter ex.
Why are they mad?
They're mad at the ads.
All that stuff that we were ahead of the beef with.
They're mad.
They're just ad raping you.
Yeah.
Gross.
Well, that part,
and there was another article about Anchor
and their participation in some of the ads and how it's been an epic fail all that shit that
them niggas were saying to me for two years about ads it was an ad fight for two years ads is gonna
be that that's gonna be the fight in podcasting for the next few years and either on a thursday
episode or a saturday episode i'm gonna address it one day like the same way we was talking about
uh the first studio we recorded at
when they tried to rob us.
One day I'm going to come in
and just tell the story
of everybody trying to rob us.
Like what some of these people
were talking about
with like the video.
Yeah.
That was another big thing too
with the video over there
on Spotify.
There was an article
coming out on that.
But it's like,
listen, if you're a podcaster and you don't care about the user experience then are you a podcaster
like that's joe's question because it's like we could all make video and fucking give it away for
10 cent on the dollar and if we all do that then the new value of your video is 10 cent for a dollar
we'll get into this thursday or saturday or something like that not at the end of this episode
it's too valuable
and with that said
is there anything
we're forgetting
rest in peace to Hank Aaron
one more again
of course
rest in peace to Kobe Bryant
one more again
yeah it's coming up
yeah
that's gonna be tough
it is
it is
I hope the media
honors Vanessa's wishes
she doesn't want any
images of the crash to air that day so I'm hoping that the media does that and
respects that well considering there's a lawsuit against the helicopter company
maybe that wouldn't happen and that would be classless anyway and I believe
there was a lawsuit against the cops yeah that gave that to the media.
Shit, I would just wish the media would not post that, period.
Right.
Like, to begin with. Even if it's not a beloved hero.
Period, yes.
Like, don't post people that are dead.
Crashes.
Like, I don't.
Yeah.
No, man.
I knew all bets were off when the nigga sold King Bond's autopsy photo.
Yeah.
You ever think about that I think like for all the all of for your work for all of the effort that you put
into who you who you be right your identity your namesake like then when
you die yeah but that's a little different
With that situation
Because of things that happened
While
He was alive
Things that were said
So that you know
It was a lot of people
That just had animosity
And envy
And hate in their hearts
For him so
The coroner?
That's just a real fear
How people treat you
When you're not here
To speak for yourself Right Yeah It's scary to me That's like a different That's not a real fear, man, how people treat you when you're not here to speak for yourself.
Right.
Yeah.
It's scary to me.
Mm-hmm.
That's like a different.
It's not so much to me.
I don't really care.
Get your shit off.
Not going to bother me one bit.
I know what happened.
I know what time it is.
The people that I love know what time it is.
Well, that's how I'm going to feel.
That's how I expect to feel when in this situation.
Like in the afterlife somewhere.
I don't give a fuck what you niggas saying.
It's only depressing.
It's only depressing when you are alive and you think about that.
And you're like,
man,
I'm repped for some of y'all,
man.
I mean,
Joe,
I see it when I'm alive and I don't care.
Like y'all can get y'all shit off.
I don't,
I know what the truth is.
I know my loved ones know what the truth is.
They know who I am.
I don't give a fuck but it's
still it's still about it's still about your loved ones though because they have they're the ones
that's still here to have to deal with that have to hear that have to see those things oh they just
have respect for the family so that's why i have respect for the family that's my point is a
separate point yeah but i agree yeah you shouldn't do any of that shit no you shouldn't sell an
autopsy photo when a family is grieving like right posted
on the fucking internet you fucking weirdos yeah and then i just be hearing the stories of like
people that find out about some of the horrific deaths of people they love through the internet
it's just uh yo even back to your honor i was thinking thinking that with those 911 calls of the parents listening to their kid die.
I'm like, yeah, this is just it's tough to try to deal with that type of shit.
Yeah.
Like the Internet shouldn't give you that.
Right.
That should be your decision.
But when I was.
You're right, Rory.
And I was thinking about that the past week
too because the internet for me has been like beautiful but all of the things that I find to
be most beautiful in life can quickly turn into the most horrific thing that you've ever seen
like the internet is one and now why was I thinking about this? Oh, above and below.
That's why, because I'm an elements guy.
Earth, wind, fire, snow, all of that fucking shit.
But like, under the sea, I was watching some doc.
Under the sea is so beautiful.
It's also the scariest thing in the world.
Emotion is terrifying.
I look up at the sky every morning.
I post a picture of just the landscape.
Rory calls it corny.
I agree with him, but I do it anyway.
And when I don't do it, Rory... No, I call it corny, I agree with him But I do it anyway, and when I don't do it Rory
No I call it corny because you called me corny for doing it
For so long
I'm returning the favor
My view is probably 8 grand better than yours
That's why I was calling it yours
It's not bad
I'm talking about my view now
The joint you used to clown me when I used to do
From my high rise
That's where you are now?
The big balcony?
The big big big one no well that's why i'm at now but it started when i did in journal square when i was on the fucking floor
of a thousand looking at the entire tri-state yeah oh he's posting it again no but it was far though
it was nice you fam you got some nerve that view is and my view was fucking insane. I forgot why I even brought this up.
Looking at the sky.
Oh, when I don't post it,
like people hit me.
My mom hit me and said,
yo, send me a picture of just the skyline today.
Like I didn't know that did something for people, honestly.
Yeah.
I just didn't know is all I'm saying.
Have you guys watched Surviving Death on Netflix?
And we can end right here.
No.
Surviving Death? No. This conversation just end right here. No. Surviving Death?
No.
This conversation just
reminded me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Really good.
Check it out.
I didn't like that
and I didn't continue
watching it
because they survived.
I cut it on
and I'm like,
what the fuck
do I want to hear
from this guy for
if he lived?
Wouldn't be much of a story
if he was dead.
Because he saw,
yeah,
because he saw, so he saw death. saw death it's fucking really it's really interesting
i'll check it out their perspectives were insane i have to find it insane i mean in a good way like
it was nuts to hear these same common things that happen to people that have near-death experiences
or die and come back to life i meant for show's sake not in life um still haven't seen
one night in miami still haven't seen american sinner i think one night in miami is gonna be
that movie that they uh you know those movies we had to watch in elementary school i think it's
gonna become one of those.
It's going to become part of the curriculum.
I haven't seen it, but I would love if all those people in that movie would be part of it.
Yeah, the closest we get to this is, nowadays, is Meek and Drake and them and Bahamas.
All right, man.
That was funny.
It was.
That was a good one.
Come on.
All right.
