Why I just want to answer my question.
Come on.
We starting to pause right now.
All right.
What's the question?
What's the question?
Ice wants to know if NWA was killing people when they rapped.
And I don't remember that.
I can't recall.
And he's saying that in defense of the style of music that he likes.
NWA was running when I remember him.
Mad far. Hundreds of miles. Hundreds of miles that he likes. N.W.A. was running when I remember him. Mad far.
Hundreds of miles.
Hundreds of miles.
A hundred miles.
And it was running straight out of company, wasn't it?
Yeah, that's it.
Now, I could be off,
but you got to turn around and face someone to murder them.
Now, to that, you say what?
Your retort is what?
I don't have a retort.
All right.
You're being funny, so I'm going to let you get your house off.
I'm not being funny.
No, you are.
You are.
You familiar with N.W.A., so I don't have to go into that.
You know hardcore gangster rap.
No, I didn't look at it.
I didn't view it that way.
I viewed it as socially conscious music.
Cool.
You got it, Joe.
I'm telling their story.
Wait, N.W.A. wasn't socially conscious music?
Yes.
They were telling their story like you
said parks that's it you were telling ish that they got spot them got them they spotted they
spotted and got them spot to spot them got them ain't that what you said that's what you came in
you came in a room full of 40 year old men and said yo No, no, no. I'm talking to Parks. I'm talking to Parks. I'm talking to you, and I'm talking to Parks.
You came in a room full of 40-year-old men and said,
yo, they spotted and got it, spot them, got them.
It said who was spot them, got them.
You said, oh, you don't know?
That's not what I said, Joe.
What'd you say?
I was talking to someone off mic.
About spot them, got them.
About rappers that have gotten locked up in the last couple weeks or so.
Are you going to roll it out?
No.
There's no stage, so.
Fuck that.
They locking everybody up.
Do you roll loud?
No, I don't.
You don't do nothing loud.
No.
I like my music loud.
That's it.
The stage is gone at rolling loud.
It fell down.
The stage fell down.
Isn't that a good thing?
Isn't that a good thing that the stage fell before the show started?
Well, true.
True.
Oh, just randomly fell.
That would have been a catastrophe.
And the way that stage fell, I'm not sure.
It was literally.
Someone would have went down.
Yes.
A couple people.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Somebody's still going to go down.
A couple people.
Just a different way.
Just a different way. It's a different way.
Just not from the stage.
Maybe from the stage.
When is it?
Oh, my God, yeah.
When is it rolling out?
Right now.
Yeah?
Yeah, now.
That's crazy.
Shout out to anybody going to Miami for Rolling Loud.

Niggas went to the strip club the other night without me, huh?
Damn, niggas looked around when you said that.
Niggas start looking around. Now, the first night I called somebody up, said, yo, come hang out.
They was like, nah, I got to go hang with my white girl.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was on purpose.
That was a pun.
Yeah, that was good.
That was good.
Shut up, Park.
I've been scooting around everywhere.
Not only that, I've been fucking promoting the scooter.
They stopping me now.
You put some LEDs on that shit or something?
Nah, it comes like that.
Oh, that shit comes with all of that.
Comes like that.
That shit is crazy, right?
Now, I take the stroll.
No, I'm bankrupt, bankrupt.
I take the stroll now, and on the way back, they stop me.
They're like, yo, yo, no, I was looking into that.
And I stop them.
Put the kickstand down mad cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to tell you where to go.
You got authority now on the scooter.
You got a sales pitch?
Yeah, about four chicks that live up the hill.
Was down there eating with their kid.
I dabbed the kid up.
I know how to fuck them off.
You know how to get them?
I know how to fuck them off.
I get right to the game.
Oh, look at Elijah.
Come on, bring it in, buddy.
I'm up.
I'm broke.
You want some ice cream?
Oh, come on man
hey take a little
scoot along
here's my helmet
oh man
just don't go to
fifth gear
cause I should go 60
no this is what I
realized
while I was trying
to change the world
and this is just
a bit of advice
to anybody
out there
that needs it
preferably to women
on
women
on Instagram in your close friends
because i have some close friends that are women and they put me in their close friends for some
strange reason so i click it and i'm excited when it's green to click it yes that's what that's
where the the nice should be at yeah yeah yeah usually but it's normally something that is uh
that that is uh in an attempt to send some spite to someone that they're dating, dealing with, an ex, or something like that.
I usually find it to be the, that's where you get the ho shit.
Well, I correlate the ho shit to that, number one.
Or you put up some memes that's like the self-worth bullshit, yada, yada, yada memes.
you put up some memes that's like the self-worth bullshit, yada, yada, yada memes.
So I just thought I should tell everyone that if he's not in your close friends,
then you're just hoeing for self.
Like you're hoeing for you.
It's an ego boost for them.
Yeah.
The nigga can't see it. He can't see it.
He don't know what's going on.
Why they don't...
Maybe y'all...
Are y'all watching?
No.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I just want the logic
to be explained.
That's all.
Listen, maybe it's just my timeline.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is happening a lot.
I'm waiting for a self.
And I'm not starting here.
No worries.
You're expecting logic
from illogical people.
I say if you tough, just put the ex-nigga in there. Put him in your close friends. You're expecting logic from illogical people.
I say if you tough, just put the ex-nigga in there.
Put him in your close friends.
Put the ex in your close friends.
Yeah, whoever you trying to turn up, put him in there.
Now you wanted to get to him.
Yo, what's going on with you and Keisha?
Oh, no, I'm never doing that. No, I'm just saying that you want to subliminal shots.
What's going on with Keisha?
I don't know when Keisha erased all his pictures. That's what you know.
On the timeline.
I know what's going on.
All the pictures.
No, no, no.
Archive.
Just in case.
Just in case.
Archive.
Just in case.
Yeah.
Archive.
Come on.
I know you guys are super excited about Kanye West's return, right?
Give him a round of applause.
I'm a little excited.
I don't know about super.
I mean, I'm excited.
I heard some things.
It's a Jay-Z verse.
Of course.
That's my bag.
So you was good, right?
Hovengers version two.
That didn't went crazy.
Kanye West had a live listening party in Atlanta at a stadium.
Yeah.
At a football stadium.
There were 50,000 people there.
He had on all red.
He came out two hours late.
You're lying.
No, no, he did.
He did.
Easily.
Great.
It might have been over two hours.
Came out two hours late.
Stood there.
He might have had images projecting on the floor.
I thought it was dope.
It was super fly.
I thought everything about it was...
You can't take nothing away from Ye as far as doing some fly shit.
He's going to do some fly
shit. It was beautiful.
It was a sight to see.
I'm only going off clips.
I wasn't there to watch it.
I wasn't watching it live.
Where was it streaming? Apple.
Apple.
How would I know that? Right on the TV.
Someone sent me a commercial. There was a commercial during the finals
that they had.
I'm just saying.
Watching the finals.
And then all over
the socials and everything.
Even though I'm giving
the Bucks credit,
I'm here to give
the Bucks credit later,
just not right now.
Yeah, no,
I wouldn't have known that.
And I saw the whole timeline
talking about it.
Stupid me was like,
the album is going to come out
at midnight.
I'll wait,
but I forgot who we were talking about.
We're talking about Kanye West.
The album's coming out at midnight.
Why would he ever put an album out when he says he's going to put an album out?
What other artist could do this?
Could fill up a stadium.
Nobody.
And stand there and play his music.
Nobody.
Nobody.
I really don't think anybody could do that.
Nobody.
Like, they wouldn't leave.
Right.
Somebody else might fill it up
about an hour or so
of being late. Alright, we leaving.
See, Drake could do it.
Just them two.
Not, and just have
y'all cool with standing there waiting.
No type of opening DJ, no
music. You just sitting there in the dark.
Damn near. Nah.
I don't see okay a state
yay has a cult following you have to have a cult follow a pop cult following at that like
y'all gonna call me crazy i do think no not a stadium never mind i will say travis can do that
but not a state are drake and kanye becoming like like mercedes and bmw yes yeah
royal choice and when did that? Who's the sportier one?
When did that happen?
You know I'm old, so.
Yeah, that's why I'm looking at ice.
Yeah.
I would say.
Fuck.
I thought we were just about to have an amazing Kanye conversation and Drake came up two minutes into it.
I don't know if that's fair to either of them.
No, they asked who else could potentially pull it off and I think he could pull it off. That's the only reason. I don't know if that's fair to either of them. No, they asked who else could
potentially pull that off
and I think he could
pull it off.
That's the only reason.
I don't know when it
came up.
Sometime in the mid,
early 2000s.
It's always been like that,
though, right?
Nah, not always.
In hip hop?
Absolutely.
We're not about to go down
memory lane.
No, I'm just saying,
it's always two dudes
that are kind of at the top.
I would say they became
the one and two somewhere in the mid.
Maybe 2014, 15, somewhere in that range.
Which is interesting
that you say that, Ish, because when Kanye
played the whole record, the feeling
and the goosebumps I got was, wow,
one and two is together. And then I remembered,
wait, there's a whole
another one out there.
And according to Karen Sib sibyl they've made friends
drake and kanye oh good that's good this has been reported yes it is good because last part i said
i'd rather see them together right yep so i'm good i'm good i'm good i'm glad that happened
but back to this now this shit looked beautiful the album did not come out. Everybody who was anybody was there in Atlanta.
Mad musicians.
Kim Kardashian came.
The kids were there.
How did you think the music sounded?
I liked some of it.
Some of that I heard.
Yeah, a lot.
There was the one where he was talking about his father not leaving the family.
I thought that sounded pretty incredible.
The Lil Baby record sounded pretty great.
But a lot of it's hard to tell.
You know he's going to mix it three more times before it comes out anyway.
You know, hearing that shit and how clean it sounded
made me revisit our talk about who would get the stems,
Dre versus Kanye.
Okay.
If all the shit is going to sound like what he was playing there.
And that ain't even a final.
Definitely not.
That's no,
yeah.
I bet you I hate the final.
Probably.
Like don't demo-itis me with something that I think sounds amazing.
Right.
With no drums.
When Hov came in,
I could tell he was unmixed,
but I like loud,
unmixed kind of vocals.
EQ'd, but you could tell it wasn't leveled properly.
I like that.
I thought the new kids changed that about mixing.
Let me go to Parks.
Okay.
I thought they changed that about mixing where, hey, I know the traditional levels that everything should be, but I want this to be loud.
Turn it up.
Yeah.
Is that what's happening now or no?
With Ye or just in general? In in general with the sound of music?
Uh,
I think that there's definitely people are just kind of doing shit from the crib.
So I don't think it's a lack of intention.
I think it's a lack of probably technical.
I'm not saying,
I'm saying,
I think they're doing whatever the fuck they want.
I think they're doing whatever they can do to,
to some degree.
Yeah.
Capabilities.
I can't get this shit to be fucking compressed right,
so I'm just going to turn it up louder than everything else.
Got it.
Yeah.
That whole verse.
I didn't even hear that,
because I don't think they played it in the live shit.
Or if they did, I missed it.
Whoa.
I saw it floating around on Twitter,
but I didn't want to hear it like that.
No, no, no.
No, you kind of do want to hear it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The quality was pretty good. That's the way I heard it floating around on Twitter, but I didn't want to hear it like that. No, no, no. No, you kind of do want to hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The quality was pretty good.
That's the way I heard it.
I missed the second half of this entire-
I watched the whole show.
I don't think he played it at the stream.
I don't think.
I didn't know that.
So what?
There was more after the stream or something?
I have no idea.
I don't know.
Oh.
Maybe it was.
I just missed it. I don't have anywhere where I need to hear this what you mean like you would need to be on a spaceship. Nah. A good, clear Saturday night.
West Side Highway.
You would need to be in a stadium,
an arena somewhere.
What am I doing?
I need a good silence.
I need some subs.
A little drop time.
I will get evicted if I turn this on in my house.
At the level that you want to be at.
No, at the level I'm going to put it at.
Well, that's one and the same, Joe.
One and the same.
I'm not putting this at fucking inside voice level.
No, this has to be up.
No, I might buy a PA system for the backyard.
This nigga is crooning, I might go to jail tonight.
That's not for the low volume.
Nah.
I want to feel like it's loud when you might go.
I also might go to jail just for playing this.
Yeah.
There's a noise complaint coming.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
This is where I'm stuck.
A felonious noise complaint at that.
If this is his version of gospel, I'm glad that it's sinner gospel.
Yeah.
Sinner gospel is back.
When you're like, yeah, I know what the Bible's telling me to do, but fuck that.
See, like him.
Sinner.
Oh, sinner.
I thought you said center.
Although also maybe kind of center.
Sinner.
Like, he didn't pay the choir, and then now he's saying I might go to jail tonight.
Like, I think that's hard.
Well, praise be to God.
Yeah, praise be to God.
Amen, Walls.
Yo, that's crazy.
This music sounds great.
I don't know when it's coming.
I don't know anything.
Justin LaVoy might have been right.
Might have been right with all of these bullshit manufactured tweets these niggas are doing
out here.
I hate that nigga that said, man, if you don't knock it
the fuck off,
at least make this shit
look a little cooler
with all of these,
this promo.
That shit sounded alright, though.
I thought you were gonna
play Jay first.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I wanna hear that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's not letting you
get out of that.
Whoa, god damn.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
The whole verse, though.
Yeah, my bad.
I got you right now.
Here it is.
Ladies and gentlemen,
an ish premiere. He's here in home for the first time.
I need you in my phone.
You in your bed.
Can I go post my bell to you?
God in my cells.
That's my celly.
Made in the image of God.
That's a selfie.
He's cold.
Pray five times a day. So many felonies. That's a selfie. These chords. Pray five times a day.
So many felonies.
That's Mike D.
I'm gonna post my bell.
Lord, help me.
Hold up.
Johnny, I'm with your baby
when I touch back road.
Total stop all of that red cap
going home.
I need the CDQ.
This is ridiculous.
Not me with all of these sins.
Cast the stones.
This might be the return of the throne.
Throne.
Over.
And yeezus.
Like Moses.
And Jesus.
You're not in control of my thesis.
Oh, man.
Oh.
No, it's not.
No, no.
It's really about to get in there.
No, look.
That was the light Jab shit
The hooks and uppercuts
Was coming
They was coming right
The rest of it is there
Somewhere
Go find it
I don't want no smoke
But how does that sound
To you Ish
I need to hear that
With the subs
Sound like a brand new
10 family home
In a cul-de-sac
Right
I need to be about
6 Kodiaks deep Sm smoking with the sub on 10.
I'm ignoring the girl that's home when that comes on.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes you wonder about how she feels about the song.
No.
Not this time.
Not that one.
You can get out.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
She said the wrong thing.
She might have to leave.
You can get out.
Go down the street for a little while.
She might have to leave.
Oh, man. Dog, that's art right there. That can get out. Go down the street for a little while. She might have to leave. Oh, man.
Dog, that's art right there.
That shit sounded crazy.
Seriously.
Yeah.
The whole shit was art.
Like, him standing in the fucking all white, whatever that shit was.
That shit looked beautiful, man.
That shit was fly.
Fam, look at the menu.
Snicket.
Kanye is different, bro.
This is not.
I saw this go by.
This is not Kanye.
Kanye did not pick this menu. I didn't say he did. He had some. No, he. This is not. I saw this go viral. This is not Kanye. Kanye did not pick this menu.
I didn't say he did.
He had some.
No, he didn't have nothing.
He was mad busy with other things to do.
He's still mixing the album.
Yeah, the fucking arena put together.
Look, the little salty kettle corn.
Him and Mike Deidre in the green room finishing this shit up.
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan.
I wish they'd send this menu to United.
Nobody wants the vegan cookies and brownies for $45 on United.
Crispy chicken tenders for 50 bucks?
Shit, speak for yourself.
I'll take some crispy chicken tenders when I'm on United.
For $50?
No, that's way too high.
That's way too high, and I would never pay for that.
Oh, man. I forgot. My bad.. Oh, man.
I forgot.
My bad.
My bad, Joe.
Pardon me, guy.
My bad.
All right, what's the most
y'all have paid
for some chicken dinner?
$12.99.
Nah, I paid.
How many?
See, this is why we can't
never have people.
No, we gotta talk.
Y'all are fucking lying.
No, let's talk.
$45 for the brown. How many come in the O and O? So under no circumstance in the world See, this is all we can. Let's talk. Because y'all are fucking lying. No, let's talk. Come on.
How many come in the order?
So under no circumstance in the world that you could see,
would you pay $45 for-
A brownie?
Chicken tenders.
How many come in the order?
A brownie is $45, my nigga.
How many chicken tenders am I getting?
Six?
Six?
Six.
I'm not paying $50 for a chicken tender.
All right, me neither.
Me neither.
I don't know who came up with that.
I got $54.
That's crazy.
No matter how hungry I might be.
How good are the chicken tenders?
I got $54.
I'm sitting there in the dark waiting for yay for two hours.
I would have went through two or three servings of them.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm sitting here waiting two hours for somebody.
It's fine.
Yeah.
It's fine.
Even when you go to a basketball game on a norm, nigga.
Come on, let's talk about all the shit that they're saying out there, because they're
saying a lot of shit.
What are they saying?
What are they saying?
Well, there are theories going around about the J-Ye reunion.
There's some people angry.
What?
Oh, I'm tired of the internet, man.
There's some people, the internet.
They're exhausting. The internet is exhausting. I are some people, the internet. They're exhausting.
The internet is exhausting.
I did see some internet shit.
They're internetting.
Well, who's angry?
No, I saw something different
about the reunion.
What?
That once she left,
now him and me.
All right, so that's one of them.
I saw that one.
They said that once
the marriage was over,
Kanye got a whole verse.
Oh, my God.
You don't like that one? I don't like it.
I don't care for that. I want to hear
yours. Is there no truth to it?
How would we know? Because
as soon as a divorce happened or as soon as
headlines of separation happened
he got a verse. Could be coincidental.
But he's dropped through a couple of projects in the time
that they were married. Maybe he didn't ask for a verse
that time. He might not have asked them. This is my real album
coming out. Maybe it could be a coincidence.
They could have been kicking it for nine,
10 months for all we know.
Okay.
Okay, and then somebody else is saying that,
or a few people are saying that now that Kanye
is the wealthiest man in hip hop ever,
that Hov popped back up.
Oh, that's bullshit.
That one I can't roll with.
I'm not rolling with it either.
I just wanted to present it
to see what you guys thought.
Nah.
Sounds retarded.
Because Hov is also rich.
Retarded is offensive.
Hov.
Hov, you mean to offend?
Okay.
All right.
It's like saying...
Offense.
No, it's like saying...
The consensus was, yo, joe you took your shit off
youtube because they kicking your ass in the ratings like what are you talking like people
just say dumb shit and it's stuck well i mean i could see how somebody would i know i can't
i can't look i'm gonna cut you off i can't i't. I can't only because Kanye has had money. He's had money even when he said he was hemorrhaging.
And Hov has had money.
And has.
And has.
Both has and had.
And they love each other.
Bigger than that, who's to say who really got more money?
We don't fucking know.
Facts.
Kanye should have more money.
Yeah, he should.
If we're guessing.
If I'm guessing.
They both involved in a lot of shit other than music.
But my point is, when it comes to them two, money really doesn't matter.
I agree.
Because there's love there.
Yo, you got $400 million more than me.
Yeah, I don't care.
I'm going to the same strip club.
I'm tipping the same girl.
Yeah, no, it's fine.
I can't wait to get this project, man.
It just sounds like some type of Michelangelo art piece. Yeah, no, it's fine. I can't wait to get this project, man. It just sounds like some type of
Michelangelo art piece.
This is the most I've been excited for
a Ye project since
Pablo.
So now with all of this hype, I'll ask you guys the same question
I asked y'all last time. What do you think it sells?
Does this change
anything? What we saw, how beautiful it was?
How people came out, the hype,
the features on the album.
Lil Baby is on there. roddy is on there yeah uh chris brown said he's on there you know that's what i'm waiting for uh it was a fake kanye uh album going around that's the one
you sent me right yeah it's the one that was sent to me i mean but i send those knowing it's fake
right like i don't send it thinking it's real but here listen listen to some shit as we wait right um what was it it was old shit yeah just
it was sent to me and i it was sent to me by somebody super industry okay and i'm telling
him i'm like bro this is fake he's like nah man this came from kanye's manager or something
it's always fake dog this is fake it's first off something. It's always fake. Dog, this is fake.
First off, it's Kanye we dealing with.
It's like during the early... I was not done.
That's what I kept telling everybody.
Fam, there's no way this album...
This is Kanye we're talking about.
It might not be done when it comes out.
And I could just tell that how that fake album sounded
didn't sound like the zone that Kanye would be in currently.
I saw the track list.
It sounded like an old zone.
I saw the track list and said, fam, I've had four songs off of this in my unreleased Kanye
folder for two years.
Yeah, I didn't think he would.
This is not coming out.
Yeah, I didn't think he would start an album like that.
I didn't think that would be the sound of it.
No.
So we don't know when this is coming out.
Nah.
Nope.
I think it'll sell well, though.
I think it'll be in the high twos, maybe threes.
Shit.
Yeah, I'm in the threes now.
Put me over three.
I said 250 last week.
Your fans are so fickle.
Yup.
Yo, last week.
I don't know.
Deep predictions.
Nah, nah, nah.
But watch this.
So now, you didn't know what was coming.
You hadn't heard from him for a long time.
He gave niggas a bite.
Yeah.
And now niggas are starving.
So now, in my opinion opinion and guesstimation
he goes from 250 to maybe mid threes maybe high threes is there anything here for us to unpack
about long time friends who separate stop talking beef and then get back together love to see it
i think that uh is there anything to be said about when family goes through that?
Like, this should be
a good thing to see.
I want to see this more.
I said that about Drake and Ye.
This is amazing.
This is amazing to me
for mad reasons.
When it's real love involved,
yeah, you see that.
You know.
The grace involved, right?
You think no-ish?
I think that there are do's and don'ts.
And I say this often.
You guys have heard me say this.
I think once you cross certain lines, it's really, really, really hard to come back.
Even if love is there.
Because I think that love doesn't let you cross those lines.
And when you start talking about my wife and you start saying certain shit,
you kind of cross the line.
Maybe the love is gone.
I'm saying when the love is there.
But who said something about someone's wife?
Jay talked about a nigga when?
I don't know.
I don't remember that.
Not like a negative.
What did he say about it?
That was negative.
I don't recall.
I don't recall. Yes't recall yes he did but maybe
he did and i just forgot several times but okay but again i just think that once you do or say
certain shit it's hard for me personally to come back that's just my personal opinion i think you
talking about on the connie side no on a jay side so again if you say certain shit or if you do
certain shit it's hard for me to come back because if you loved me you think about like if you say certain shit or if you do certain shit it's hard for me to come back because
if you loved me you think about like if you speak and you fly off the cuff you can't you
know i'm saying but you putting shit out in the public or you writing some shit you got time to
think about that before you release it what if hypothetically he did say something about kim and
i don't recall it but maybe it happened. And now Kim and Ye
are separating
and what if maybe
Hov was right?
You disrespected me.
What if he was right though?
So?
Keep it to your fucking self.
Tell me in confidence.
Tell me in private.
Keep it to yourself.
And this is an ish hypothetical
because I don't really recall
this happening this way.
Not with Hov just running around talking about I don't really recall this happening this way. All right. Not with Hov just running around talking about...
I don't remember that.
I don't recall.
Kim, there was the rumor about Kanye didn't go to...
They didn't go to each other's weddings.
That was a big thing because of maybe...
And there were assumptions going around, right?
My house is not in order.
And it was a really big thing when kanye was speaking publicly uh
about the title and apple negotiations and the robbery thing when the robbery in paris
because kanye spoke out oh you didn't even check on yeah he spoke on that like he went on a few vintage Beanie Siegel style rants about Jove.
So I can understand loving somebody and saying, you know what?
That's what I was getting to my point about grace, right?
When it's truly love and you're speaking about people that are this powerful,
you're not going to ever wield your power that way to affect somebody because you love
them. Like, no matter what, I love you.
The worst I'll do is distance
myself from you and not speak to you.
But it happens sometimes.
You know, people get caught up in emotions, especially someone that's
got a history of doing that. Like,
yay. He might say some shit
off the cuff, and I'm friends, I've had friends like that.
They wild out.
And you mad at them
but maybe in a little time
you'll be like
oh you know what
that's just
that's just them
I understand
little cool off time
yeah
you know
they got to speak
down the line
and all that shit's in the past
yeah
girl is that how easy it is
sometimes
sometimes it is that easy
again you can say
what you want to say about me
right
you're my man
it's cool
say some shit but when you start bringing people's families right? You're my man, it's cool, say some shit,
but when you start
bringing people's families
and shit like that,
it's a different level to me.
Just my personal opinion.
I'm glad that
reconciliation is happening.
I'm glad that
there's the potential
of a Throne album
that was one of my
favorite albums
last decade.
Indeed.
And if it's going to sound
anything like this shit here,
that's a whole couple
people hitting me like
yo the way that you killed the frank ocean blonde album for not having drums you should hate this
kanye shit i want to tell that person that they have really poor ears and don't ever compare their
fucking ears to mine ever or their music taste to mine ever and also maybe we had we like it i actually like the blonde
album now but first of all your opinions may change and second of all i might like artist a
with no drums and i might not like artist b with no drums people gotta stop there's that
people have to stop thinking that like you said my opinion can change right yeah i didn't like
this today i like it tomorrow right that's fine or vice versa
and like you said yo this person did it didn't it didn't hit right it didn't resonate right with me
i'm off that but oh okay they did it that's fine you know it's okay to like what you want to like
stop crucifying people for for being liking what they want deeper Deeper than that, right? And I'll get geeky for two seconds.
When you get into the composing of music
and you really get into educating yourself about it,
like somebody had to, I forgot who it was,
somebody had to explain to me
how you could let the beat just rock.
Yeah.
And it's an important part of the composition though no words are being said
depending on how this is done this can be your bridge this could potentially be your chorus this
could be whatever you want depending on how it's done just the art of music sonics shit like that
right with kanye and the no drums thing yes no drums on the shit that i heard but there was
hard shit that hit yeah different yeah that shit hit yeah no drums i made an ugly face i don't know
what he did to those strings those sounds and whatever that hit was that came in it wasn't a
drum that took the place of a drum yeah sometimes something can bang without yeah man he bugged the
fuck out versus frank uh frank where it was more soft it was just that wasn't i was looking for
something to hit like nova can't hit but anyway enough of that uh look forward to kanye can't
wait to hear it i'm intrigued i'm back i'm back yeah i'm back all that shit i'm back and so that
back and that was my take On the numbers
What he just did
The other day
Bought niggas
That were on the fence
Like eh
They bought them back
Yeah
So I think his numbers
Go from 250
I said 250 to
Threes
Maybe
High threes
I started to come back
When he stopped
All that MAGA stuff
I said I started to have I said I would be back I started to have More compassion he stopped all that MAGA stuff. I said I would be back
I started to have
more compassion
for what he's been exposed to
and what he's gone through
and where his headspace might be.
But again,
people didn't know.
Which I always have
if it don't seem like
you're affecting
black people as a whole.
But people didn't know.
They were still on the fence.
Like, Parks and them said,
like, yo,
his last couple albums
have been there.
This shit right here
that he put out took niggas from A to O.
And again, back to the grace.
With someone like Kanye, who's obviously been going through a lot of shit,
I'm going to give you a little bit of grace.
And he's always going through a lot of shit.
I'm going to give you a little bit of grace.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I know you're not necessarily emotionally and, you know,
altogether there all the time.
So if you fuck up a couple times, man, it is what it is.
Wait, wait.
Wait, no, is this record?
Is he all right?
No, no, no.
This nigga's a serial killer, yo.
No, no.
Yo, he's stupid, yo.
No, we stupid?
What the fuck was that?
I've never seen no shit like that.
We took a small commercial break.
Fam.
I went to put some Visine in my eyes.
Need a little hydration.
Yeah.
Yo, this nigga so stupid.
Because I fucked my eye up the other night.
We won't talk about it.
But I put some Visine in my eye.
Literally.
You ain't shit. oh man that's funny dog that's funny i hate him i literally hey yo dog that was funny that was great i don't fuck with him that was great
that was your eye right so i'm putting the Visine in my eye And Ish says
Damn is that how you put Visine in
I'll show you a better way to do that
All I did was turn my head up
Open my eyes
No fam you like
You dropped it in my eye
That's what happens when you put something in your eye
You did that shit like a serial killer
Ish takes the Visine
Don't even move his head,
and just places a drip gently on both eyelashes.
Looking straight.
Looking straight ahead.
And this is, I don't think I've ever seen a more light-skinned act
in my entire life, ever.
No, that just took the whole cake.
Yo, hold up, hold up.
Dead ass.
Everybody here has put Vazine in their eyes.
It always runs.
You always got to do this shit.
He didn't even get no run.
Yo, look at this, man.
He's like a god.
Yo, where did you even learn that little trick?
East Orange?
No, that's not the hood.
I've been wearing contacts a long time.
And you know what happens?
Yeah, because I've been wearing contacts.
I thought this shit was naturally green.
They are an asshole.
Wait, I'm confused.
I can't see.
No, what color are your real eyes?
You feel like you've been lied to?
My contacts are clear, you jackass.
Anyway.
How do we know?
Not anyway.
How do we know?
You want me to take my eye out in front of you, too?
I'm just asking, how would someone know?
They wouldn't, right?
I just told you.
But outside of that,
that's what I be saying to girls.
They be like,
I know,
I just fucking told you,
dumbass.
That's how,
that never works.
I'm not scared to touch my eye.
So when niggas eyes be all twitchy,
I don't do that.
There was a little error in the hood
where niggas thought the color contacts
was getting it done
and you old enough to
have been in that era.
It's not in our hood.
Fuck out of here.
That was some Jersey City shit.
Stupid ass eyes.
I've never seen no shit like that
before in my life.
I'm a contact wearer too.
I've never seen no shit like that.
You could do that.
I could,
but I never thought
to do it like that.
No,
because he's a man.
Yo,
he looks straight at me.
Yeah,
what the fuck was that?
Martian shit.
Don't even believe me. Yo, don't do that again. Yo, don't Was that Martian shit Don't even believe
Don't do that again
Yo don't do that around me
Don't do that around me
No more
You're worried about what
Your fucking
Eye posture
Your eye movements
Man's got some strong eyes
This guy's crazy
Fam you can't touch
Your eye like that
I can yeah
So there it goes
You're strange
Anyway let's just Back to Kanye Back to Kanye Back to Kanye Fam, you can't touch your eye like that? I can, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so there it goes. You're strange. Yes, you do.
Anyway, let's just back to Kanye. Back to Kanye.
Back to Kanye.
All right, we don't know anything about Kanye.
No, we'll see what happens.
I feel like y'all got off the hook too easy with that whole unpacking the dissolving of friendships and the reuniting of friendships.
I feel like y'all skated by that one just with the generic, yeah, man, that's good when you love somebody.
I did.
That's what me and Park did.
Time heals all wounds.
I ain't trust it.
No, I ain't trust it.
You was like, fuck that.
Yeah, like,
it depends on what you do.
Fuck you.
I thought this was a great topic
because me and you stopped talking
and found our way back
to each other.
Yeah, well, I said, fuck you.
But again.
Yeah, but he's right
because I was sitting here
trying to think of how it happened,
how the reuniting happened, and it wasn't like deep.
Pulled up one day.
Enough time has passed.
It was some bullshit.
That was mad years.
That was some light-skinned shit we was on.
That's what happened.
We was on some light-skinned shit.
That was corny.
That's all it is.
That was years.
Time passed.
Y'all run into each other.
You don't even remember no more at that point.
It just, again, it depends on what you do. Yeah, I agree at that point yeah it just now again it depends on
what you do yeah you know i'm saying like it depends on what you do and then a lot of times
the the the the culprit right and i and i think this even with all types of relationships like
if a nigga do some bullshit to a girl right Niggas get on the arrogant shit and be like,
yo, come on, homie.
She shouldn't have been going through my phone anyway, right?
Right.
Nigga.
You got my sister on your phone.
That's not the big piece.
Like we overlook.
Apologies matter.
You shouldn't be on my phone.
I know.
That's a fact when I say it.
That's not me gaslighting her.
That's not me trying to offend her. That's not me trying to offend her.
That's definitely.
That's my phone and my property.
That is definitely the Exxon lights.
The argument can't start.
Look at you trying to trick me.
You tricking me.
Look at you tricking me.
I also agree that you should not go through each other's phones.
I'm not disagreeing.
And if we're going to have an argument about the findings in the phone,
it can't start at the findings in the phone.
It starts at you went through the phone.
My thing about the phone.
You can't.
You went through the phone to find something.
And I left it there for you like Chris Paul.
If you found something, it's your fault.
Like that was your intention.
Because if you went through the phone and didn't see nothing.
I'm so shocked that you're taking this stance.
Go ahead though. I'm here for it. I don't touch her phone. I'm so shocked that you taking this dance Go ahead though
I'm listening
I'm big on it
I'm here for it
I don't
I don't touch her phone
I'm not disagreeing
Don't touch my phone
Do not
I'm agreeing with you
What I'm saying is
And I'm about to pander my
I'm not pandering
I'm just giving
No you definitely pander
It's okay
It's okay
No you do
I'm about to just give validity
To what a lot of people say
Yo something was off
I felt something off So they I don't go through of people say. Yo, something was off. I felt something off.
So I don't go through phones.
Mr. Communication Man,
if something's off,
talk to me.
I agree.
I'm agreeing with everything
that's being said.
No, no, no.
No, pick a side.
Well, I'm on the side
of don't go on my phone.
Okay.
So don't tell me about
why they go on phones.
I know why they go on phones.
Something felt off. Who cares? The fuck are tell me about why they go on phones. I know why they go on phones. Something felt off.
Who cares?
The fuck are you talking about?
Fill it back up.
You're not the fucking decider
of what's in and off.
I hate the way
you come to decision making.
Who's agreeing to that?
No, no, no.
And now you get to remind me
about what you found
in the phone
for the rest of life, bitch?
Okay. Woman. Where's the jar because again this is gonna be the telltale it should be two jars put a red cup up there
something yeah we got yeah so that we know who's putting what in there i just don't see how women
don't find that as egregious of an act as it really is. Because they look at it as a casual thing.
They do.
Even if they don't find nothing.
No.
That's where my confusion comes in.
That's where the problem is because they look at it as because I found something.
It's justified.
Yeah.
They're unjustified to me.
Nah, yeah, nah.
I found something, so we're not talking about it.
Nah, it's the reverse.
I'm with you.
I agree.
I just saw that on uh american greed or
improper search if you go find some shit and then bring it to court and you and they book me for it
a whole shit out yeah you can't do that found with seven zillion keys if a nigga got the keys the
wrong way if the cop didn't follow protocol they throw that shit out hell yeah they throw that
shit out um all throw that shit out.
Off of phones and we're done with Kanye and we're done with reunite the
rekindling of friendships between men
because who knows how that happens.
Alright so moving right along.
Do we want to get geeky now?
Do we want to get geeky and nerdy?
We can do it. I don't even really classify this
as geeky and nerdy. I don't.
Because you're a geek and a nerd when it comes to this
It's not geeky and nerdy though
Really not
I don't even know what this is but go ahead
It's alien vs predator
We have alien wars
The monsters are beefing
You know what the aliens mean?
You know what alien is in terms of hip hop?
No
Alien people people that are from another place
when it comes to their ability with a pen or their brain.
And the Predators are?
It's the same thing.
Just another name for the same shit.
I'm just trying to be...
Because they battle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They battle.
So we going into Aliens?
Listen, man.
Lupe, Lupe, Lupe Fiasco
and Royce to 5'9".
Wait, somebody told me
he dropped the duh.
I'm keeping the duh.
Royce 5'9"?
Yeah, I don't like it.
Is Royce 5'9"?
No, I'm still a duh guy.
Oh, is that just for like
Royce, Royce, Royce 5'9".
Maybe he did change it.
That sounds pretty smooth.
Royce 5'9 and Maybe he did change it. That sounds pretty smooth. Royce 5'9".
And Lupe Fiasco are sending bars at one another.
Let me.
Listen.
I don't have any inside take here.
Any inside scoop.
I don't even know how to start it.
I do know how to start it.
I thought they was kicking it and laughing and joking.
And somebody got serious or something.
Lupe and Royce,
I never was really paying their feud any mind
because they do a podcast together,
or so I thought.
But Lupe and Royce did a podcast together.
I know because I heard a few episodes.
And in that,
you could see a contrast in their personalities.
But in a podcast, that's great.
Isn't that good?
That's great.
So though you heard rough spots in the podcast, maybe.
Well, I did.
But to me, I just chalked it up as the growing pains of you trying to do
a podcast
with somebody via Zoom
who you may or may not
have ever met before
and y'all are two
amazing MCs
and y'all are getting
to know one another
right?
that's all I ever
chalked that up to
I still chalk
has this
ended the podcast?
yes
no shit
I thought they were
just playing
see
I thought they were
playing
so wait this ain't just see what I mean I thought they were just playing. See? I thought they were playing. So wait, this ain't just...
See what I mean?
I thought they were just playing.
That's what...
And that's where this just gets a little confusing and interesting.
I never paid any mind because I always thought they were playing.
Yeah.
I thought whatever they were doing would be good for their podcast.
Right.
Even if they put raps out.
Yeah, I was getting ready to say, you know me, everything's a rollout.
I was getting ready to say this is a rollout.
And what a great rollout it would have been.
Yeah.
It wasn't until,
and I didn't speak to Royce at all on the phone about this,
I was just in the club one night.
It was like 1 a.m.
And then he sent me a text of a song.
And I put the thing to my ear while I'm in the club.
And by the beat, I could tell, uh-oh, I probably need to hear this.
And then he started rapping, and I'm in the club looking like a weirdo like this.
And I said, uh-oh, if he's sending me this at 1.30 in the morning
and it sounds like this, I got to get somewhere where I can hear it.
So when I leave, I'll get to that.
But when I left, I just went to bed.
And then when I woke up, there was a new song by Lupe out.
So I listened to it.
So I kind of heard Lupe first.
Okay.
I heard Royce first, but I didn't know that it was.
I heard a little jazz.
I heard a little bit of Royce, but I had no context.
Me either.
I heard Lupe first with some context that,
oh, there's a back and forth happening.
And because I'm an MC, I could tell that
this didn't sound podcasty now.
I thought it was still all for fun.
I got to say, Royce is way better
At breaking up a podcast
Than you
That's a way cooler way to do it
Hey Parks
Hey Parks on the road tonight
Parks on the road
Calling butter
You're right Parks
It is
That is a really fly way
To break up a podcast
I didn't even know that
Even while they were
dissing each other
or rapping toward one another
I still thought
the podcast was going
me too
I'm only saying it stopped
because I saw
a Lupe vid on YouTube
that said
nah I'm not doing that anymore
damn
that's not fun
I think it would be more fun
if they podded together still
again it depends on what you say you together still Again it depends on what you say
You can't
Listen
It depends on what you
Have you crossed the line?
I'm not kicking with you niggas
I'm using this word here
But I'm using it as slang
Purposely
Can't put two bad bitches in the room
These guys are two Martians
They're two aliens
I don't
Well I think both of them have said that they've never really met in real life.
They've just been fond of each other for different reasons from afar.
Now we're doing a pod.
You got viewpoints.
They oppose some of mine.
Starting to get to know you and your personality a little better.
See how you work.
See how you move.
I don't like certain shit.
I don't know. And this is all, I'm just freestyling. I don't like certain shit. Huh.
I don't know.
And this is all,
I'm just freestyling.
Yeah,
it makes sense.
I ain't spoke to these niggas.
It makes sense.
Like I know,
I know Lupe is Muslim.
So they,
they mentioned a little bit of stuff
in the freestyles about,
you know,
their difference in topics
on racism,
et cetera,
et cetera.
So,
Parks,
pull up the Lupe freestyle.
Like they mentioned a little bit.
You guys talk while I do this?
Listen, I think it's healthy.
I mean, I don't even know if I should be giving my opinion
because maybe I'm biased, but it's my podcast,
so I'm just going to give it up.
We want the second one, right?
The real one, the first one.
The real one. We want the real one because right? The real one. The first one. The real one.
We want the real one because you guys gave him a pass for that first one.
I apologize, man.
It was last minute.
All right, this is Lupe.
Let me ask for this in advance.
Steve Jobs, SLR 3 1⁄2.
Turn it up.
Turn it up.
Get some volume on this.
Yeah, this sounds good, man. Both the mixes are bad, I'm being precious. I think they did it themselves. It's cool.
Let's go to the low.
I'm not gonna play the whole thing Lollygaggers to poly matters that go over responses Get all layered and technical in they content
Press record
Then I bring the receipts
Lambda, lambda, lambda
I think that shit was sweet
I wish I could just kiss you on the cheek
Nerds have they hands in everything
Gangsters won't even touch the police
Won't you tell your niggas get back
Take some of them cool fullies and go and get some of my shit back
Stop this, stop this, stop this. Stop this.
Stop this.
Stop this.
I don't know if that was missed by the people listening or maybe I'm just get this all the way wrong.
But I think in listening to both of their disses, I get the some of the fundamental differences that they have and have been having.
Yeah.
You hear it?
Yeah, I do.
Again, I still thought it was all for play play.
Yeah, but it could start out play play and get real.
Like, Royce could say,
hey, you niggas is nerds
and y'all ain't never been cool
and be playing,
but be for real.
Yeah.
And then Lupe could say,
okay, well, yeah, you're tough and you a thug, then why you ain't go clean up your city yeah and then Lupe could say okay well yeah
you're tough
and you a thug
then why you ain't go
clean up your city
and blah blah blah
I think that
that difference of opinion
kind of started to come out
in podcasting
probably
probably yeah
he's sitting around kicking it
difference around
vaccination and stuff
like just differences
oh yeah
yeah yeah
that was a big one too
on a lot of
yeah
see and that's why you're
not supposed to kick it about like politics religion vaccine is in there now like certain
things that just you stay away from but fuck it here we are uh so no more podcast for these two
that's sad i want to i want to salute both of them for starting the podcast and doing as many episodes
as they did
Lupe did the same
on the YouTube vid I saw
and
this is one of those beats
where a lot of people
just gotta shut the fuck up
about it
because
this is different
yeah
this is two
two crafts
expert
swordsmen
yeah
this is
when it first happened
I thought it was
like you said
just a
exhibition match
you're a swordsman I'm a swordsman
cool let's go
I listened
late I didn't hear it when it first dropped
but I did listen and I know Royce's record
came out first
Royce didn't seem to be as aggressive
it seemed like
alright I'm going to show you what I can
little jabs here what I can do with the pin it seemed like, all right, I'm going to show you what I can, you know, little jabs here,
what I can do with the pen.
Yeah.
It seemed like Lupe was like,
now I'm going to let you know
how I really feel about you.
Yeah.
Like Lupe was more,
fuck you.
Yeah.
And is,
I could be wrong.
And it sounds like it was built up.
Is this the first time
we ever heard Lupe
like really bad
or somebody like this?
On a,
I'm not sure,
I don't know what he was doing
in Chicago,
you know, back in the day or whatever, but I don't know what he was doing in Chicago, you know,
back in the day or whatever,
but I don't remember ever him having like,
lyrical beef on records.
I've never heard one this direct.
Yeah.
So,
I mean,
I got to applaud Royce for bringing that out of him.
Yeah.
But what does that say though?
Does it say that Lupe's emotional right now?
I think he's,
They both may be.
All the arguments they've been having on Instagram about who's nice and who's not nice and all that shit, I think he's like, both may be. All the arguments they've been having on Instagram
about who's nice
and who's not nice
and all that shit,
I think he's like,
let me show you real quick.
Okay, so if they're
having a conversation
about who's the nicest
and Lupe says,
you so nice,
then go rap
and prove it.
And Royce goes to rap
and attempts to prove it.
He proved it.
And then you respond
dissing me.
Nah, the clip that I saw, Royce called him a bitch.
Oh, I didn't see that.
I didn't see that clip.
Yeah, Royce was like, something, something, something, bitch.
And, like, you can't.
Yeah, but what kind of bitch was it?
Bitch needs to know this.
No, it was a hard bitch.
It was a hard one.
Like, ch-ch-ch-ch.
The ch-ch-ch-ch was all the way in there?
Nah, big B.
Yeah, like, you know what I'm saying?
So, again, where we from, you start calling niggas bitches, it's a different ballgame. Like, the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch initially and then the conversation took a turn and then um royce was like nigga like something
something something he said see they joking they laughing everybody's laughing and joking
and then the conversation took a turn and that's where it got different everybody playing until
somebody oh this happened on young gurus live this was the other day yeah it was like oh man
yo for these guys to turn around and rap that quality of shit that fast.
Yeah.
These are dangerous, dangerous, dangerous men.
See, that's what I like.
I miss that.
Me too.
I miss that.
When I talk rap beef, I go back to you and Ran, where it was.
Here we go to the studio.
I'm talking about 70 plus bars, 100 bars, back to back in zero turnaround time.
Yeah.
See, somebody was like, yo, chill, chill.
Niggas was trying to calm it down.
Like, yo, chill.
Whoever that is
on the bottom left?
Mickey.
Oh, okay.
He was like,
chill, chill.
He was trying to stop it.
See, look,
he looks a little,
Lupe looks a little more aggressive.
Yeah, he's starting to get aggressive.
Lupe got his real feelings off
in his verse.
I'm telling you.
You can tell
this is some pent up shit I've been wanting to say to you for a minute. You've been pissing feelings off in his verse. I'm telling you. You can tell this is some pent up shit.
I've been wanting to say to you for a minute.
You've been pissing me off for a while.
Now that you jumped, I'm going to really tell you what I've been thinking for some time.
Roy's got the other face on a little bit.
All right, but what do we think about it?
I don't need a critical breakdown of the video as we live watch it.
In which facet? All of it. I'm happy need a critical breakdown of the video as we live watch it. In which facet?
All of it.
I'm happy they're going back and forth.
I love it.
And I would like for them to still be friends and do podcasts afterwards.
Hopefully, you know, they can get there.
I don't like it for that reason.
Were they friends?
Or whatever, you know.
Even if they wasn't friends, they should be able to come to a space where they could,
whatever their podcast was about, if it was about hip hop, if it was about life,
politics,
whatever the case may be.
There's all of the above.
The fact that it's no longer there
as a result of this,
I don't like it.
But if they were going to
just shoot at each other
in hip hop,
that would have been dope.
And then get right back
on the pod and get the pot
and shoot each other on the pod.
They got bodies your bitch has.
Yeah, that's different.
We might have so different,
like I said,
the vaccinations.
Doesn't matter.
No, it does matter.
It does.
Religion, all type of shit that I found out that we are just so opposite that I damn near don't like you.
I don't need to fuck that podcast at that point.
It's not about a podcast.
Like, I don't even want to share this platform with you no more.
It could get to that.
For sure.
I think that I had similar issues when the Trump shit was going on. Right?
It was people that I was friends with.
Yeah.
And their views on politics, my views on politics were different.
But if I have a conversation with you and you can convey your thoughts and you can articulate your points, well, we good.
If you just saying y'all voting for Trump because because... You gotta expound on that, fam.
Yeah.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, you gotta elaborate
on that a little bit more.
I can't imagine losing
no friends over that shit, really.
Nah, because when people
start talking bullshit,
the real feelings come out
as to why they are supporting you.
True.
Now we got an issue
when we have a problem.
And that I heard Royce say,
I heard him tell Dre,
like, yo, alright,
Lupe put his diss record out, but I don't have that type of venom inside of me for Lupe.
Like, I'd rather us take this energy and do something else.
Like, I don't have it in me to just hurl fucking hurtful things your way for the sake of a diss record.
Right.
Like, he said his record was a display.
Of lyrical ability.
And it was.
We was talking about rapping.
Yes, it was. And he rapped.
And I went to rap.
And in his words,
I went to check boxes.
And I checked a lot of boxes.
He said,
I'm not sure that Lupe
can check all of those boxes.
So now,
this put me in a conversation
with myself
that I never thought
I had to think about.
Like, who wins Royce versus Lupe?
So Parks hit me and said,
do you want me to say what you said?
Yeah, I said, why did he poke the bear?
You said, why did Royce poke the bear?
Royce.
I never heard Lupe jump out like that.
And he jumped out.
And I LOL'd,
because I understand what you're saying
but fuck that beer that's that's why he poked the beer sure you gotta because he's a beer
and no i'm a bazooka yeah i have no problem going to wake up any other beer over here if we're
talking about rapping and to joe's point that i always say and i ain't gonna bore
niggas with my my shit i gotta know that you cut like that i gotta know i gotta see it yeah lupe
is super super nice nice one of the nicest in the world no question but if i never saw you in combat
and i've seen royce too many times in combat. One of the best ever.
Then I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the guy that's been in combat.
Sure, sure.
Battle tested.
Battle tested.
I am.
And.
I also didn't realize that all this internal shit was, I didn't even realize it was real.
And I was listening with MC ears.
So I heard Lupe just more hostile than I'm
accustomed to hearing him.
Or more aggressive. No, definitely
playful. Definitely playful. But some of the
I'm listening with him C ears. So
some of the shit that he was saying, like,
it's not playful if you say, I wish
they would have took you instead of Biz.
There isn't a playful way that you could say
that. Royce also has a bar about Biz.
I don't remember. It wasn't as venomous as Lupe's.
His bar was about people preemptively saying that Biz had passed away.
Remember, like, they heard Biz had passed away a week or two before he really passed away.
You're right.
Royce hinted at that.
He wasn't talking, like, some serious shit about hoping a nigga's dying.
That was too much.
That was a lot.
That was a little extra.
So now you take it out of rapping for play play or for skill into some personal shit
when you wishing death upon me.
That's different to me.
And that's why I say Lupe's shit was personal.
Personal.
That was picked up.
I've been feeling a way about you
for a minute.
That ain't just,
oh, I heard your record.
Okay, let me write something
in response to that record.
Yeah.
I got some more shit
out in here.
Yeah, that's not right.
Don't do that to me.
I could agree with that.
Shut up, man.
I'm serious, though.
Nah, for real.
We chilling,
we kicking it,
we do a pod together,
we have admiration
for each other from far
or whatever.
Mm-mm. And then we having a friendly conversation about rap but you can see even in that conversation lupe got hot quicker
than royce royce was still laughing and that's what i'm saying he's still joking like you said
joe we chilling we kicking no you chilling you kicking it i'm not feeling you and i'm starting
to realize like yo i don't really like this nigga that's what happened
it's possible you can see it nah and when he talks about on the live i don't fuck with him
even the way he talked about like yo you're all the vaccine shit and your views on your
your neighborhood and all that that shit that me being around you for some time i'm starting to
see how you really think and i don't fuck with you like. At least it's like a mature beef. Yeah. Look at what they're beefing about.
Their vaccination.
Their vaccines.
My opinion on vaccines.
All of it's on shit.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Listen, come on.
Don't do that.
Why you won't play Roy's shit, Parks?
I will play Roy's shit.
It don't sound like it.
You sound like you think he poked a bear still.
Nah, shit.
Come on.
This shit was incredible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Turn it on. It's okay.
We're not gonna play the whole thing because these dudes is marching.
It's crazy. Shot six July. This beat is crazy.
Solidarity like that muscle we refuse to flex. That synergy that these niggas just refuse to
tap into in our disparity match our hustle we exude success attack us mentally that's that
energy kings get trapped into therefore i'm done promoting the dumb shit i'll put a hold of your
son while he holding your sun chips while you over there with a chip on your shoulder like
aren't there isn't there sun chips sunips is a brand, right? Yeah, some in the cabinet.
Yeah, I thought I wasn't crazy.
On the live.
They're fake healthy Doritos.
I know, but on the live stream that Mickey and Royce did in the aftermath of this,
and Mickey and Lupe are tight,
Mickey was like, yo, what did you mean by holding your son chips or put a hole in your son?
And Lupe in his song said, what are you talking about?
You would put a hole in my son.
Now, but to be fair, Royce's beginning, he's saying, I put a hole in your son while he's eating son chips.
I don't know if Lupe has a son.
He doesn't.
That's what I said. But if't know if Lupe has a son. He doesn't. That's what I said.
But if he did...
Well, if he did, I don't think...
Man, if I'm doing a diss record,
I can say I put a hole in your fucking son.
No, you can't.
Because now I can wish death upon you, nigga.
And I don't give a fuck about nothing else.
All right, well, now...
Yeah, don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
If I'm just doing a diss record showing off my penmanship, And if that nigga has a son. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.
If that nigga has a son, you do not
bring my son in any of this.
I don't give a fuck.
This is where Ish
may or may not
be too mature to discuss
rap beef, but
because you're right in
being mature.
No, y'all took Royce's side in saying that when Lupe said he wishes he died instead of biz I didn't like that it was going too far I agree with y'all
I don't know Lupe I'm saying but if he has a son what you for Royce to say I'll put a hole in your
son while eating sun chips that nigga went too
far but I'm saying
no I'm saying Lupe doesn't have a
son now so if I'm writing a rap
I can say
out of clever word play
100% you care sun chips
knowing that sun chips has
a chip that's all I'm saying I agree
with you now if I have a kid
and you say I'll kill your son
I may look at this differently
and that's what I'm saying
but in the heart of war man
Royce would not if Lupe has a son
Royce don't use that line if you've heard
Royce beef before
this is not a diss track
no it's not
I've heard of Royce diss track I'm not disagreeing
I'm saying that I don't know if Lupe had a son.
If he had a son, the gloves come off.
The too far conversation.
If he had a son, then the biz line is not too far.
Exactly.
That's what he should say.
And that is my point.
Fam, if we just did a pod together, you're going to tell me that I should leave instead of biz?
That's fair game?
No.
If.
Let's play on this shit, man. Yes, it's fair game? No. If, let's play on this shit, man.
Yes, it's fair game.
If.
I separate your body from soul.
Now your body is cold.
Spiral out of control.
Now you over there body odor is pungent.
People coming out of your body over.
Oh, shit.
Love that.
All the past neglectful positions.
These pussies put me in.
We them cool niggas bringing food, liquor, and foolies in.
They do all the yelling and accuse, nickel or bullion
Cruelty to MC's is intellectual vibrato
Run on full speed to hit niggas with the message like Wallo
I bleed mid-leaf, I greed mentally and sync with Neo and Stevie Sensory
I squeeze till this ego completely empty
I'm three-dimentary, now beat me MC's, I'm greed and envy
Carlito, watch me go, repo, y'all sweeties, Bentley
I skid-mock through these thoughts with an arse, commit larceny Yo, you said that you said Lupe cracked him.
I just think his was more dissy, I guess.
You said Lupe cracked him.
In terms of diss records, yes.
Diss records.
Not in terms of better song or quality of rapping.
Easily listenable song.
All of that goes to Royce.
I'm talking about diss record versus diss record.
Lupe cracked him.
But one wasn't a diss record.
That's why lupe wins
he starts dissing him and he got no see for me there's a difference between a diss and an address
well he addressed him he addressed him with the full zip code he tore his voice
he addressed him yo if we go have if we go have a talk it's the same thing
Si was saying
when I was talking
shit about him
he's like
go rap
like that's the
rapper way to fix it
go rap
and in the rap
you can address
but a diss
is what Lupe did
yes
so nah
we're not comparing
diss records
because
and also Lupe
wasn't a diss record
and Lupe went
yeah
Lupe went second
so he had a time
to hear this
and address everything
that he wanted to address
in this
hence the
Sun Chips bar
and all that like
you got an advantage
when you go second.
He didn't have one.
He didn't use it.
You know what I find
interesting?
Yeah he did.
And I'm shutting up.
Go ahead.
He didn't use it.
Who?
Lupe. Lupe shit was hard. He didn't use it. Who? Lupe.
No, Lupe's shit was hard.
Yeah.
It was hard.
It was hard.
It was hard.
I said that when I first heard it.
See, I heard it in reverse.
I heard Lupe first.
And then I heard Royce.
And my face scrunched up ten times more of Royce's shit than Lupe's.
Lupe went crazy.
But, and this is my unpopular opinion
and I'm shutting up
because everybody's going to say
I'm a fucking slut house groupie.
You're in the group.
No,
not really.
I guess.
Created the group.
And for as great
as these two dudes are,
like,
Royce just
is different.
Is different,
for sure.
No question.
Royce is different.
They both aliens
and they both Martians,
but
stop playing with me.
Stop.
I'm merciful still.
They're both aliens.
Even while you're saying all of this angry shit at me.
He didn't say it initially.
Huh?
This came out first.
No, no, no.
That don't matter.
You said it.
You said what you're saying, and now that I heard it,
even though I heard that.
Man, go ahead ahead man look go ahead
i don't think lupe went into his record trying to show how great of a wordsmith i am i agree
that's this is not a display of lyricism from lupe this is fuck you but that's more of a he
was playing but he was playing with some lyricism just to show you i can do this
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa and see that's where
I disagree
and that's where
I think
that's where I think
this is a little
and I'm shutting up
I keep saying that
let me just keep talking
fucking no
Lupe is king
lyrical miracle
right
he made murals
right
correct
I've seen Lupe
make a song
about the last supper
yes
like reading
across the fucking picture.
No, I want to hear some of that in your diss record.
If that's you.
After this coming out.
I'm emotional.
After that came out, yeah.
This came out first.
Yes.
Right.
Y'all missing the...
If I'm emotional and it's fuck you, I'm not doing all that.
And don't forget, he from Chicago.
That's what I'm saying.
Fuck you. But to Royce's point, that's lazy. And fans might love that. No, no, no. I'm not doing all that and don't forget he from Chicago I'm saying fuck you
but to Royce's point
that's lazy
and fans might love that
no no no
fans might love that
but that's the easiest thing
to do in the world
no not just that
the argument started about rap
they started arguing about rap
they didn't start arguing
about politics
they started arguing about rap
nigga I'll mop you up
no you niggas
nigga I'll whip your ass.
Now rap. Don't get on
a track and say, nigga, fuck you.
Get on a trap and rap. He did rap too.
No, but after I did all this, you gotta rap
better. He did not rap better.
He did not rap better.
It was also completely
different approaches. I don't think he
went in here with the intention to
out rap him. Well, he lost it.
If I'm Roy's,
this response,
and this is just me,
this response
wouldn't get a response
out of me.
Never.
Not after I did that.
Never.
Fair.
After I did that,
my conversation part
of this is done.
I think both of their
parts is done.
Even if the streets
say I lost.
I think both their parts
is done.
No, no, no.
Both their parts
do not have to be done. Because you still think Lu, no. Both their parts do not have to be done.
Because you still think
Lupe has to rap.
Huh?
You still think Lupe has to rap.
No, I think that Royce
is being merciful
and grace
and graciousness
and gracious.
That's what I think.
I think after this,
they're done.
I think the second that
a real live,
active rap
body fixer,

i'm talking about bro i've matured more up here i don't know i'm not sitting here doing this

That's all.
He might do it when it comes to a record.
I could be wrong.
If he was that mature.
I could be wrong, bro.
But I'm telling you, I don't think he's doing that anymore.
That's why he said, I'm done promoting this bullshit.
But you put it out first.
Just to show my pen.
Don't jab at me, nigga, if you don't want to fight.
Fam, are we dissing or are we rapping? All right, cool. That's fine if you don't want to fight. Fam, are we dissing
or are we rapping?
All right, cool.
That's fine.
I don't want to fight.
All right, you got it.
I walk away.
I walk away now.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't want to fight.
You got it.
I know what these hands do.
Go ahead.
Exactly.
That's why I'm not here no more.
I know.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
So what's wrong, Dad?
If I put my hands up
and I start throwing jabs at you,
nigga, you have entered
the ring to fight.
You don't know what that nigga hand game like.
You can't say, yo, I don't want a beef.
I'm talking about Ice's point.
Ice saying, yo, I don't think he want no beef.
No, you can't say that and then start fighting.
I never said I don't think he want no beef.
You said Royce today don't want no problems.
Fam, I didn't say that.
I never said those words.
I said Royce went into this showing, I'm going to show you, I didn't say that. I never said those words. I said Royce went into this
showing,
I'm going to show you
I can out rap you.
I'm going to show you
how nice I am with the pen.
Royce went into that.
Lupe did not return fire that way.
Royce said,
I'm not doing that bullshit with you.
This ain't what I came into this for.
I thought we was going to rap.
You don't want to rap?
Cool.
I'm off that negative bullshit.
That's what I said Royce is doing. That's why i don't see him doing nothing else with this and in the lupe vid like
i don't think they started a warranted a response i think i showed you how i get busy you didn't get
bit as busy as me done just we said the same thing there all All right, we're dancing in circles. It's okay. Just know.
Never mind.
I'm glad we got it.
I enjoy both records. Yeah, me too.
Me too.
I thought they both went crazy.
Whoever you play second probably won.
You know I'm Team Royce all day, but.
Oh, me too.
Me too.
But I enjoy a spar.
Like, I'm going to watch.
I'm going to watch.
I love Lupe.
Lupe's on my list of of one of them he's one
of them i've said it too many times i've said too many times people need to have him higher on lists
i like all that shit that he does and then he talks about and he did go crazy in this and i
like that he came out to came out to fight brace just decided to like go to like a different planet
he stopped rapping for the whole.
He took one little break.
There's a little semi-hook part, and it's just multi-syllable for seven minutes.
I heard it.
You could hear his voice go hoarse mid-song toward the end.
Yeah.
And that's when you're like, all right, man.
Yo, just go get some tea.
You can take a punch.
Sit down.
You can punch in.
Yeah, just chill.
Just sit down, chill. But that was his point. I know. I'm punch in. Yeah, just chill. Just sit down, chill.
But that was his point.
I know.
I'm just going to show you that I do this.
I love it.
I'm not here to sit here and do all this, I'll kill you, fuck you.
Yeah.
I can rap.
Right.
I thought we was rapping.
Right.
And then you come back with the shit Lupe comes back with.
For him to say that to Lupe, Royce is a monster, man.
That's what my text was about.
That's when you know. Yeah, that's when I's what my text was about that's when you know
that's what
yeah that's when
I stand on my shit
I know what
I know how I get it up
you niggas shouldn't
just be talking to Lupe
like that
I ain't gonna hold you
I don't want nobody
to mistake my take
here
about thinking
Royce is up
or Royce is nice
I don't think
nobody should say
Lupe name either
I advise against it
but there's a couple of people that if they said Lupe's name,
they ready for what comes with that.
And I think Royce is one of them people.
Oh, for sure.
So that's why I wasn't mad at it.
I love the way he.
That's that on that.
That's on period.
That's it.
That's it.
I enjoyed it.
I would like to see more, but if there's really like animosity between them.
I want to see more because there was too much animosity on Lupe's part. That's it. I enjoyed it. I would like to see more, but if there's really like animosity between them, I don't want to see more
because there was too much animosity on Lupe's part.
That's not,
we didn't,
we not rapping with that.
That's not rapping.
I'm just reading that shit.
Cause you said you read it
and you thought that.
From a diss record point of view-ish.
From a diss record point of view.
From a diss record point of view,
Lupe,
clean them.
Gotcha.
Rapping, different. of view from a diss record point of view lupe clean them gotcha rapping different well if my point was to prove i'm a better rapper and i rap better
proved it then i'm like i'm not getting back out the bed nope true that's what mickey fax said to
me on the live stream i saw you and uh three letter man and uh because i got because i did
get hard over rap beef. I get excited.
I really am into that.
I feel like I'm one of the last Mohicans.
Yeah.
Like, no, I truly, truly, truly love it.
If there were, like, a big three league where you could just get three rappers per team to just try to kill each other, not like Smack.
Right.
I mean, like, for real, I would do that shit.
So I got in the house.
I laid in the bed.
Them niggas was talking about rat beef.
I mean, I was glued to the phone.
Dudes that I know discussed.
Oh, my God.
And then there was dudes in the comments,
like Lloyd Banks is in the comments.
I'm laughing.
Oh, you saw me talking about rat beef with Banks?
Yeah.
I love my beef record.
But anyway, Mickey Vax was in there saying how he tore me apart
because I never responded.
Nah.
And just how people gauge beef and beef records
and who wins and who loses is just so different.
Like, there are people out there who feel like that,
who feel like, hey, if you don't respond, I get the dub.
No, no.
Mickey Facts, I wasn't never getting out of my bed for you. Like, it get the dub. No! No! Mickey Facts, I wasn't never getting
out of my bed for you.
It's left good.
You know what's funny about that?
That was exactly it.
That's the same thing that people say about
Drake.
I was just gonna say.
Stop clapping, old D-Man.
What are you doing
clapping
the clapping stopped already
I didn't
I kept
I kept it going
for the brother
we see
for the king
now what are you saying
that's the same thing
some people said about Drake
yeah
so it's like
you can't have it both ways
like the same people
you can
you're wrong
because you can
have it both ways
like I told Mickey Facts, there are levels to this.
Joe Budden is not getting out of bed for Mickey Facts.
No matter what.
Ever.
No matter what.
Even if he gave you.
If I do, it's because I feel like it.
It's not you will never dictate the move because there are levels.
Okay.
Drake dictates a move.
There's still levels.
The levels changed.
You got to be who you are
on both sides of it.
Drake put me in a song
and that's enough to get Joe out of bed.
Whatever I was doing,
I was in bed.
That's enough to get me off the airplane.
I got in the plane.
Land is playing right now.
I had so much respect for the man that I slept in the studio.
I remember, though.
You sure did.
That's the respect.
The fans said, oh, that nigga's a madman.
I said, oh, we can't play.
Bro, I remember.
We can't play.
So, yeah, when it's reversed, yeah and they can say game tore me up because i
never responded to what was that 900 bars a thousand bars i was playing on the middle of a
spade tournament i was in the middle of a spade tournament when that dropped you said game view
i'm trying to think that was close ish no listen what they want me to do first of all part of me dissing drake was knowing that he was
on tour and he'd be an idiot he couldn't he would be a fool if to spend his bus time talking to me
i could have did that 20 times as long as his tour was he didn't have no choice but to scream
my name for the tour from the stage tour which was a win for me at the time i got an album coming come on the end i wasn't a i was playing spades when game did that shit they turned that shit on
me i was cutting hearts i ain't i ain't have a heart in my hand they talk about yo you hear
what yo you hear what game do he's still going still going. I'm like, me too. Y'all shot. Me too.
You're not making your bid.
Lay that heart down.
I'm just saying, by the time he started doing all that,
it was like, yo, fam, it's enough now.
I'm not getting out of bed now.
You say that your brother beat me.
Arse, I'll take it.
There was no response. I wasn't getting out of bed. Not the rest of the shit. Now, you say that your brother beat me. All right, I'll take it. There was no response.
I wasn't getting out of bed.
Lil B, I took that.
I really take that one, because I didn't think that he had it in him.
I didn't think he had that in him.
But that would shock the world.
You're a nasty man, Joey.
But, hey, I was in bed when he dropped that.
And when I started to get dressed, because that's just my natural reaction,
I said, hold up, dog dog you can't go to the studio
you can't go diss Lil B
I don't even know
Lil B
he's the bass god
and you respect him
please
you don't want the hex
you do not want the hex
I want the bass god curse
I'm not dissing him
I said I don't know
just don't even say nothing
treat him like Candyman
yeah yeah
no no
we're laughing
you see what he did to Kevin Durant.
I got to move over now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He did something to Kevin Durant.
Ish playing around.
Oh, yeah.
Ish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just stop.
This is up.
Why you don't listen to him?
Nigga, he said it.
Just leave it alone, though.
Seriously.
All jokes aside.
Gotcha.
Yeah, we don't play with base cards.
We don't do it.
I don't.
You really don't know shit.
Ish don't know shit about nothing besides fucking
Home Depot
there was a nice debate
they was having
on the timeline
about some dude
who built a house
somewhere
I thought about Isht
I thought about Isht too
I was like
this is the perfect talk
for Isht to chime into
did you see the debate
no Isht didn't see nothing
some dude
some dude bought a house
in like a real
real real
hood hood hood block he bought a house in like a real, real, real hood, hood, hood block.
He bought the house for 71 grand.
Oh, I think I actually did see this.
There was some homeless people living in there.
The shit was all fucked up.
So he did a whole piece on how he purchased this place on what was the loan?
What was the loan?
A different type of loan.
Because his point was you could do this without needing all of this paperwork to get it approved from the bank.
I bought this for 71 grand.
He said,
I put 250 into it
and I'm selling it
for 500K.
He said,
I had to pay
some of the homeless people
to get out of there.
But this is what I did.
Look how beautiful
all of the rooms are.
I think his stance was
I'm invested in the hood.
And people were kind of
shooting at him saying...
No, they wasn't kind
to shoot at him. They wasn't kind to shoot that.
They got him the fuck out of here.
Oh, I didn't see enough of it.
No, they tore his ass apart
for putting the homeless people
in the street.
It was like the squatters, right?
Some shit he had to pay them
in order for them to leave.
What was he supposed to do?
They said this is...
Ish, ish.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Here comes the Republican.
That's the Republican Republican I'm joking
they called
they said he's
gentrifying the hood
he's part of the problem
and they said
you're not
you're not investing
in the hood
if the hood
can't live there
right
you're forcing the hood out
the hood can't live there
because you raised
the property value
now
ish
real estate
entrepreneur
connoisseur what do you think about this?
Educate.
I don't know nothing about this.
I don't buy houses.
Me neither.
First of all, both of y'all trying to bait me.
No, we're not, bro.
This is a real story.
We don't know.
This happened.
I know.
But y'all asking my opinion, knowing that I'm going to get them bums on.

I'm asking you a question.
Niggas.
You don't understand.
No way, people.
What the hell is he talking about?
People.
No way.
No, what are you talking about, Ish?
How is this? No, no, it is. It's you talking about is because he bought how is this
no no it is the same it's not the same what's the difference this house was just abandoned
and the homeless people were in there squatters rights we in here it belongs to the city blah
blah he bought it tried to kick him out they They wouldn't leave. He had to end up paying them.
And you saying... He paid them.
He paid them, yeah.
Paid them.
Bitch, I think you...
Take those muffins.
So what you think should have happened?
He should have bought the house for $71,000.
I'm not putting $250,000 into the house I bought for $70,000.
If that $250,000 gets you $500,000... Let's start there. If that $250,000 gets you $500,000... That $250,000 house I bought for $70,000. If that $250 gets you 500.
Let's start there.
If that $250 gets you 500.
That $250 ain't getting you 500.
If it gets you $400.
That's a nice little flip.
Hell yeah.
That's a nice little flip you're talking about, nigga.
I hear you talking.
And he listed it for $550, so he must know the neighborhood.
And it's going to be listed.
Might not.
Might not.
That shit might go.
I hear you talking. That nigga said that in Brooklyn before. That shit going to sit right there listed. gonna be listed I see the little home goods Mary put up
the first nigga in Jersey City said that down by the waterfall
oh that's the cheap floor too come on Ish
oh please
look at that molding can I break that
glass window get this shit out of here
that nigga gonna get 500
I bet you he do how we gonna find out Look at that molding. God, break that glass window. Get this shit out of here, man. And they're going to get $500. No, they ain't.
I bet you they do.
How are we going to find out?
I know.
I was about to say, I'm going to look it up.
You got to find the Zillow, man.
Someone send the Zillow link.
I'm going to look it up.
I bet you are.
You want to see what else is available on that block.
You out your mother.
All right, tell me the last time you bought a house and sold it for $700 X.
Educate me. Maybe I'm off
I can speak on
I've been sending
multiple
I've been sending
mad appraisers
to certain spots
I'll give you
an example
of a house
that somebody
I know just did
it wasn't my house
smart man
my nigga
they paid 220
put about a buck
$20 in it
And listed it for $515
Did they get $515?
Yeah
That sounds way more normal-ish
Than putting $250
Into something for $71
And selling for $5
The house for $71
Was in 10 times
Shittier condition
Than the house for $220
Fam This house is in a sewer It still says condition than a house for $220,000.
Fam, this house is in a sewer.
It still says they're all in for $320,000 and they selling it for $515,000.
So whether you paid the $220,000
and put $100,000 in it
or if you paid $100,000
and put the $220,000 in it,
your numbers are still the same.
Your profit margin is still the same.
You know better than me.
So help me out.
Let me ask you this one question
and then we can move on.
We're not a real estate podcast.
If I build some immaculate shit up and on the in the surrounding area is nothing but
little lunch boxes with crackheads running around that was a mistake with crackheads and shit running I could sell it for $5.15 You from Jersey City
Yes
You saw it
Happen
In front of your eyes
That's exactly what I said
That's exactly what I just said
Nigga
On Stegman today
On Ocean today
No no no no
You're wrong
That's not what happened
Well you're changing my example then
Cause now you're changing the lunch boxes
That's around
No
I'm about to go to Stegman
I'm about to go to Ocean I'm about to go some of the worst streets traditionally in jersey city
yes you agree with that yeah his house is over there today going for six and seven hundred
grand you're about to make me mad today why is why because the neighborhood now in jersey city
is commanding a different number why is the neighborhood neighborhood as
in surrounding blocks area why how does that happen see and that's my point so why you bring
up wegman and stegman and all that if the hasidic jews come take all of their fucking money and buy
everything surrounding knock it all down it's not what you said you said i said lunch boxes in
around not somebody come buy up the lunch boxes them up, and raise the property value of the whole neighborhood.
It's still crackheads running around the streets.
Well, that don't matter if we done built the whole fucking neighborhood up.
We're vacuuming the niggas right up.
But Joe, that's not what's happening over there.
But Joe.
I'm going to give you Newark, Dana. I'm a Newark guy But I'm going to give you Newark, then.
I'm a Newark guy.
I'm going to give you Newark.
The same thing happened in Newark, man.

Or y'all.
There's nobody I can talk to about stuff.
All right, come on.
I had some nice songs coming, but I'm a chill.
No, I'm sure no one can relate to this topic at all
when you're going to take your baby home and they ain't home.
Yo, the lights out around here?
Yo, dog.
How is you still in Miami?
This guy is stupid, yo.
Miss your flight?
Yeah, I'm the boss.
Stop, man.
I'm going to get fucked up.
All right, come on.
Listen, last podcast, I was a little harsh on the Bucs.
I was honest, but I was harsh.
I really felt like that.
I really felt like I didn't want to see all that green on the screen, right?
But we did that before the last game.
We did that before game six.
Yeah.
That was game six that the Bucs closed it out.
Yeah.
And actually, that was the same night.
Like, I went home and watched that game, and I got to be honest,
I was really impressed.
I was really impressed.
I didn't want the Bucs to win, but that's kind of why I was impressed.
They went out and got it.
They went and took it.
Yeah, they did. I thought Giannis
is 26, so he got
time to go get it, but he went and got it.
In the fashion he got it in, hitting 16 or
17 out of 19 free throws, like
seeing him work
through hardship in real time
was a thing of beauty.
And to see this team constructed
that way,
win in this fucking ugly, nasty-ass fashion.
But then when you get to looking at the guys on the team, I was happy for Drew Holiday.
I was happy for Bobby Portis, even though he was a Knick.
I hate to see Knicks succeed elsewhere,
but I was happy for him.
I was happy for P.J. Tucker.
P.J. Tucker, of course.
And that's just a great stat
to beat all of your
former teammates
on the way to the championship
yeah
Chris Middleton
a G League all star
like
nah fuck him
once you
once you started looking at the Bucks
and how they won it
no who they are
how far they had to come
out
like you
you kind of got to salute them
their team are underdogs yeah it salute them their team are underdogs
yeah it's true
their team are underdogs
and you love to see that
no super team
they didn't go out
and get
you know what I mean
another
bonafide all star
and they got it done
and you like to see
like
Giannis stayed
he stayed
yeah that's big
you don't usually
you know I ain't gonna chase one
nowhere else
I like the heart and shots
I liked all of that shit.
I also saw that it's the first time in history a black woman owner is an NBA champion.
That's beautiful.
I'm in around those guys.
Valerie Daniels Carter.
That's dope.
That's dope.
I just like seeing one team impose their will on another team.
And watching that last game, you was looking at Phoenix like they just not ready.
They not ready.
They don't want it.
They don't deserve it. They don't want it.
They don't deserve it.
They don't need it.
While I do still feel bad for Chris Paul, I do.
I really, really do.
I'm watching that defense.
The Bucs was playing.
Like to have Giannis and Chris Middleton guard the pick and roll,
the high – or Drew Holiday.
Like it was clamps up there.
It was clamps up there, at least in that game.
They was having a hard time, man.
Congratulations to Milwaukee, the Bucs, their fans.
I don't know why niggas take my hate so personally, man.
I just didn't want to see green on the screen.
It's a color thing.
Yeah.
It's color.
Isn't it always?
It's colorism.
It's American.
Don't agree.
Don't agree.
It's touchyy You're right
Yeah so do y'all have any
Any takes
Y'all got anything
Y'all want to say about the Bucs
The finals
The championship
What do you think
Congrats to them
I'm not surprised
Chris Paul dropped the ball
I told you so
I told you so
That's all I got
I told you so
You didn't tell us all
You didn't tell us all
A month ago you was
I was on board
And I got disappointed.
You killed Chris Paul, brother.
Everyone that's ever rooted for Chris Paul.
Parks wavers a lot.
I don't.
I was about to say.
You must be.
He does.
He forgets his own takes.
No.
Never.
A month and a half ago, you was Pauling.
I thought he was going to do it.
Now you're saying I told you so.
Even his Kanye-
Even a little bit of his Kanye take now,
I feel like was my take last Kanye album,
and he told me I was crazy.
Which one?
Whatever that Kanye album was.
The last album in that little EP run?
Whatever that bullshit he put out.
Yeah, that was a proper take.
I was saying that Kanye been putting out bullshit for a while,
and we all holding him up to an old standard
that he hadn't produced that for a while, i can hear that it's not him okay just running around taking
songs from people i.e designer i.e whoever else he took a song from nothing about that shit he
played last night sound like anything but kanye west even if there were other people there helping
of course there's always gonna be other people he's always had other people that are helping
i know but i want it to sound like Kanye West when it's finished.
Sure.
This, even the shit that for a second I might have said,
hmm, it's got a little Travis-y, but it sounds like yeah.
It don't sound like yay trying to be Travis, which is a different.
I can tell the difference anyway.
I'm not sure if anybody else can, but I can.
I can't wait.
I'm excited for it.
What?
I can't. But you can tell the difference anyway. You've got a lot of luxury in your ears. But that's what I'm about sure if anybody else can, but I can. I can't wait. I'm excited for it. What? I can't.
But you can tell the difference.
You got luxury in your ears.
But that's what I'm about to say.
In your area of expertise, you can tell the difference between how this house was built
and how that house was built.
No, no, no.
I understand.
Or the person that built this house was trying to do it like.
Was trying to save some money.
You know what I'm saying?
Was trying to cut some corners.
Definitely.
Also in sports news, kind of, sort of uh espn and maria taylor
part ways that's the politically correct way to say whatever went on behind the scenes that we
allegedly don't know about but when that audio got released of rachel nichols I didn't think that Maria Taylor's negotiation was going great.
And with ESPN's history, I didn't think they'd be jumping for joy to make sure
that...
Pay someone of color properly?
Yeah.
Like when Stephen A had to fight a little bit to get his 10, 12 million, it was
like, all right, dog.
If he got to fight... And he's on air his 10, 12 million. It was like, all right, dog. If he got to fight.
And he's on air all day, every day.
And he's everywhere on every show, radio, TV, linear.
Dog races.
You name it.
Yeah.
The Spelling Bee.
The UFC fight.
They be having this nigga doing everything.
NASCAR, seen him up there.
Stephen A does everything.
So he had to fight for his 10 to 12 million
while Greeny got
his 6 million
or whatever he got
by just doing
his daily show
let me not say just
because he's one of the best
no he's a monster
he's one of the best
and that's a 5 day a week
morning drive
we bringing ratings
you need this show
you need Get Up
and you need First Take
you need them both
but just more reasons
I didn't think Maria Taylor
would get this done
oh this is a great time
to throw back to why everybody got so up in arms about the
car daddy girls getting $60 million.
Shit like this.
See, when companies do things like this, it's because they want to make the mark.
They want to send out the message of, if the car daddy girls got $60 million,
not girls, and that's fucked
up uh if she got 60 million dollars is because spotify felt it important to showcase that this
young white podcast girl gets 60 million dollars when netflix gave dave chappelle his money it was
important for them to show that dave this black man, gets blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Right?
It's signaling.
Okay.
So this is more of that.
Hey, the Green Bay Packers just did it.
Actually, what a great example, Joe.
The Green Bay Packers just did to Aaron Rodgers exactly what Spotify did to me in our battle when they put out the press release that said, and this is what corporations do, that said,
we offered him an amazing contract.
That would have made him the highest paid player in the league.
That would have made him one of the highest podcasters ever paid.
And he turned it down.
Well, yeah, that's true.
But that don't address anything.
The Packers said, man, I was mad at the TV when I read it.
But then I was like, all right, I'm getting but then I was like alright I'm getting triggered so
maybe other people don't read this I just be wanting
people to be able to read through the tea leaves
yeah and at least the ESPN
sports analyst kind of
got it right with the whole
this is not really addressing Aaron Rodgers
his beef
oh so they did call that out
some of them okay that's good
start pointing the shit out.
But again, you control the media, so you control the narrative.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
They get an opportunity to control the narrative, and very few reporters would probably even say,
yeah, they threw more money to try and silence him, but you're not addressing my issues.
ESPN and Maria Taylor jointly announced today that after much discussion and agreement on a contract extension could not be reached as a result maria's last assignment for
espn was last night's nba uh finals telecast and this is a statement from jimmy pataro chairman of
espn and sports content maria's remarkable success speaks directly to her abilities and work ethic.
There's no doubt we will miss Maria,
but we remain determined to continue to build a deep and skilled talent roster that thoroughly reflects the athletes we cover and the fans we serve.
While she chose to pursue a new opportunity,
we are proud of the work we've done together.
And it's rumored that she will be headed to...
Damn it, I read it somewhere not
no not fs1 not fs1 cbs sports or one of those mbc yeah one of those mbc sports so i mean i'm sure
she got a better deal somewhere else she's great at what she does she's really good at what she does
and uh seemed to be clear in what she wanted from the market so i'm not never mad at that
niggas killed me for doing it but that that. Niggas killed me for doing it,
but that's fine.
Niggas killed me for everything.
I'm not mad at somebody
knowing exactly what they deserve
from the market
and what they should get.
Not if you're just making it up
out of the clear blue sky.
And refusing to settle for less.
Or just wanting to get away
from a company that has
questionable shit.
Maybe she got the same money
from NBC that she would've got
at ESPN,
but I don't have to deal with the bullshit they be on over here or or potentially somebody like
rachel nichols doris burke um whomever else is that fuck i'm never gonna mention women
people men mark jackson whomever are they're getting this amount of money we're doing the
same amount of work i want the same amount of money. We're doing the same amount of work. I want the same amount of money. And somebody might have said no.
And if we got the same task
and we have the same jobs
and we
same requirements
why can't I get what they're getting?
Somebody might have said no.
Yeah.
Well congratulations to Maria Taylor.
Absolutely.
She has a comment on her
on the situation as well.
It's all PC though.
Yeah, yeah.
This is publicist shit.
I'll read it anyway.
So thankful to Jimmy and all of my great uh teammates and friends at the sec network college game day
women's and men's college basketball and the nba countdown family the people who believed in me
encouraged me pushed me and lifted lifted me up words are inadequate to express my boundless
appreciation and i hope to make them proud.
End quote from Maria Taylor.
Round of applause.
And I hope she goes on and continue to do really, really, really great things.
While this round of applause is going,
I want to send a big shout out to friend of the show, Mikey Williams.
Mikey Williams just signed his, what's the little likeness, the likeness shit?
Contract, yeah.
This guy's not even a senior in high school.
I think he's actually about to be a junior in high school, Mikey Williams.
Scoring guard Mikey Williams won't be eligible for the NBA draft until 2024 and still has nearly two years to decide on college basketball or pro pathway.
Mind you, this kid is really popular on Instagram.
He's tough.
No, he's a monster.
And outside of that, he gets busy.
They love him, and he's well-loved.
He's nice.
He's marketable.
He's got over a million people on Instagram and all that shit.
He's one of the people that this NIL rule was built for.
Got it.
And he's the first prep high school star to capitalize.
This says Williams, a San Diego native who will attend Lake Norman Christian
in Huntersville, North Carolina, and will play for Vertical Academy,
has signed a deal with Excel Sports Management that Excel Vice President
Matt Davis said he believes will generate millions of dollars for this young man.
Well, there's no doubt about that, Matt Davis.
That is a fact.
No, he's popular, popular.
Like, high school basketball is more popular than college.
I've been saying I've been watching high school basketball
for the last few years now.
Yeah, like the high school kids are fucking stars.
Where do y'all be watching that?
ESPN.
Really?
They're covering high school basketball.
ESPN now?
For real?
Hell yeah.
I didn't know that.
Like, fam, they are packing out gyms around the country.
Like, this shit is big business.
Like, EYBL is their summer league.
It'd be like Braun.
Braun sending them down there now, as a matter of fact.
It'd be Braun, Chris Paul.
So you could go somewhere and see Kevin Durant just in there watching high school kids going crazy.
Like, the high school sports is big, big, big business, especially in basketball.
You had to assume that,
or at least I did,
that high school
and that summer camp,
summer league,
you know the high,
that they would know
or have a good idea
that the NIL shit
was coming down
before the rest of us.
Probably.
I assume that.
You hear the rumblings
when you're involved yeah and and that that
level of big business starts at the high school level so yeah i'm really happy i'm really happy
for mikey williams uh and i can't wait to see where he goes in uh in 2024 like he made a big
big big uh media splash when he said that he might consider going to HBCU.
And everybody went crazy.
I remember that.
And everybody went crazy.
He's a super popular dog.
And he's tough.
Tough, tough.
Yeah, he's tough.
Is that all I have in sports?
The NFL COVID thing we were just going to talk about.
The NFL, yes.
The NFL.
All right, so maybe you can intro this one.
Okay.
The NFL has announced, they've notified all 32 teams of their new COVID policy.
Okay.
And basically, if there is an outbreak on your team that causes you to be unable to play a game,
instead of all the rescheduling and everything,
you will lose the game.
It's a forfeit, and it will count.
So they're not doing no replays like they did last year.
They said if it can't be replayed in that same week,
then it's a forfeit and it's a loss.
Huh.
And it will count towards playoff seating.
So that loss could potentially keep you out the playoffs.
So there was a DeAndre Hopkins tweet that apparently was deleted saying that,
wow, now they're trying to force me into affecting my team in a negative way
or not contribute to the team because I don't want to get vaccinated.
And that should be a real concern.
Also, Minnesota's coach.
No, not coach, right? No, no, it's an assistant assistant yeah running back coach or something no is now no longer a member of the
viking staff and is reportedly all because the guy refused to take the covid vaccine uh dennison
recently affirmed his decision to not get the shots and with the nfl rules making it nearly
impossible for coaches to coach without them, he's now out in Minnesota.
So this looks like it's going to get interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because what do you do if you're in that spot as a player?
I don't want to get vaccinated.
This is my livelihood.
And this is the league's way.
We knew it was going to come to this.
This is the league's way of saying you got to get vaccinated.
Yeah.
Like they can't say that because they know they'll get
tied up and all kind of legal shit so what we're gonna do is make it hard for you and no and not
just that the shit that d hop i'm sorry guys the shit that d hop said was profound because now they
control the media they're gonna spin it and say basically you're not a team player if you don't
get vaccinated you don't give a fuck about the other two 53 dudes in your locker room the coaching staff blah blah blah blah blah so now
you're like the anti-team guy i mean that's not true yo fam i have the ability to think
about what's best for me and my family, even if it goes against popular opinion.
Correct.
That should be my right.
That doesn't mean I'm an anti-team guy.
That means I'm a pro-me guy.
Both can be true, though.
No, they can't.
Yeah, they can.
Because I'm not anti-team.
You can be pro-you, but that's not going to work over here.
But being pro-you, your decisions could make you anti-team.
Correct.
They said Nealon was anti-team so i mean
if we expect the same i'm coming to two a days i'm busting my ass in practice i'm doing all of
the appropriate things me and what i want to put in my body does not make me anti-team they are not
synonymous you can they shouldn't be synonymous yeah you can be anti-team and be selfish right
you could you could do both.
Not saying your reason for doing it is being anti-team. It sounds like a great way to circumvent the law.
Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing.
That's all I read from this.
Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing.
We can't tell you, hey, you better go get vaccinated or else.
Okay, so what we'll do is flip it.
So I don't want to argue that.
Let's not argue that.
Argue that because that is what's happening.
That's what's happening.
Let's take it to the next step.
I think it's wrong.
However, let's pretend that you guys are paid $10 to $15 million for a service.
And that is one of the stipulations of the service.
How do you feel?
How adamant are you about this?
I'm pro-vax, so I don't even know if I need to chime in here.
Yeah, don't.
No, no, no, that's not true because you could be pro-vax,
but you can be pro-right at the same time.
I am.
I am both.
So when I sign a contract, that stipulation is out of my contract, right?
So, again, my job and my service is to play football.
As long as I get on the field and I perform accordingly.
That's where it's not true.
No, that's not true.
That's where it's not true.
Because you can do off-field actions
that can affect you on the field
and you can actually lose that spot.
And I'm sure there's also...
Something you've done off-field.
I'm sure there's...
No.
I'm sure there's loopholes regarding personal health.
Yeah.
In the contract,
it states certain shit that you can and cannot do.
Code of conduct shit.
I'm sure all of that is in compliance with whatever business deals the NFL has with other vendors.
Exactly.
So, again, I'm just giving an example.
I don't know what these motherfuckers' contracts are before the people on the internet start going crazy.
What I'm saying is I don't think the two necessarily have to coincide.
You could have the flu.
They'll let your dumbass go out there and play football with the flu.
If you're willing to play, they'll let you play.
You can affect the nigga.
If you're a receiver, you can affect the quarterback.
You can affect the cornerback on the opposite team.
You can affect other motherfuckers with the flu.
Correct, but the flu is not deadly.
I'll risk you affecting anybody with the flu because of the bottom line dollar-wise on the game.
Which is why they're inserting the, hey, we're affecting the bottom line of the game business-wise with the COVID shit.
Because if it wasn't, then who cares?
Speaking of, let me ask a real ghetto question.
And don't judge me
I'm just asking
does anybody
and let me not say
did anybody else
because that means
that I thought it
isn't that ghetto
for that
NBA championship trophy
to come out
in that Louis Vuitton case
no
I didn't see it
no no no
Louis Vuitton has a joint venture deal
with the NBA
I know
I know
I get what you're saying
no they got Louis Vuitton
on the seats
I know I get it it I get what you're saying. No, they got Louis Vuitton on the seats and all that shit.
I know.
I get it.
I get it.
It's not ghetto.
It's not?
No.
If it was Cartier,
would you consider it ghetto?
Yes.
No, you wouldn't.
I hate when you do that.
I hate when you do that.
It's me.
You can ask me a question.
You know I'm going to
give you the answer.
I'm not saying it's ghetto
because it's Louis Vuitton.
What I'm saying would apply
if it
was whatever brand you're the nba if it was nike yeah only because this is our highest honor
nike is nike still and we're in business that would make sense maybe spalding i'm not mad at
louis i'm saying this is our highest honor we are are us the same way Louie's Louie.
Like, in brand world, we both here.
I just would feel like if I'm the NBA, that would diminish my shit.
I don't think that's ghetto any more than putting insurance companies on the jersey is ghetto.
See, I like that.
I thought that was innovative and forward thinking.
So is that.
They're both ads. That's ads, too. Yeah, they're both ads. I know. I understand that was innovative and forward thinking so is that they're both ads that's ads too
yeah they're both ads
I know and I would
I understand where you're coming from
it is an ad
and they have business dealings
do we need the ad
on our highest honor
this is our highest honor
if they paid the NBA
enough fucking money
I want my shit on here
which they did
which is why I'm shutting up
but I still don't like it look the NFL wasn't money. I want my shit on here. Which they did. Which is why I'm shutting up, but
I still don't like it.
The NFL wasn't beat
for the Armed Forces logo on every
fucking thing until we gave them $5 billion.
Say that one more time.
The NFL wasn't beat for that.
They get a whole month.
They get a whole month.
So the U.S. Armed Forces
is in bed with the NFL.
Yes.
And so now we give mad coverage to the Star Spangled Banner.
We give mad coverage to the jets flying overhead.
We give mad coverage to all of that shit.
It's an ad.
It's promo.
November is salute to service month.
Yeah, like it's promo.
Look, they got the camouflage shit.
November is Black History Month.
Every month is Black History Month, my nigga.
Which means?
I'm going to bail you out.
You my nigga.
No, that's what I meant.
November is Black History Month.
So again.
I'm telling you, it's the NFL.
No, don't tell me.
Again, if you have enough bread, I want my shit everywhere.
Tell Karl Malone about what the NFL want to do, nigga.
The fuck is wrong with you?
If I want LV on every seat in a stadium and I pay enough money, put it on there. I don't like it. I want you If I want If I want LV On every seat In the stadium
And I pay enough money
I don't like it
Put it on there
I don't like it
I don't like that
I don't like the ads
On the jerseys even though
So I'll take it
I'm gonna keep it real with you
That looks a little gaudy
But I hated that
They killed that
I don't like that shit
Do you know when they
First announced that idea
I thought it was gonna look like
The Jeff Hamilton jackets
Uh huh
Big ass
Shit all over the place
One of my shits
Damn
That was all our shits. Damn.
That was all our shits.
But I'm just saying,
when Adam Silver said,
yeah, we're going to start doing a cross-promoting
and let you buy a space
on a jersey,
I thought they was going
to just be capital.
Shit was going to look
like a NASCAR.
A NASCAR.
They were going to take
money from everywhere.
But I like how they did it.
One brand,
one sponsor,
per team,
got to be big enough
to even be here
you gotta be on that level
of play play
and I'm sure
they generated
so
much money
and I know
I know Louie paid a lot too
but
just feels ghetto to me
not like they be giving out
Louie towels
all that shit at the games now
wait
towel day is Louie's now
and I'm so stupid
because I'm saying
it feels ghetto I know that's because I'm saying it feels ghetto.
I know, that's crazy.
I'm saying it feels that way, but I am happy that Louie is now stepping in the way of, you know, branching out.
Fucking with Jay.
Nigga shit.
Fucking with Jay.
Yeah.
Nigga shit, yeah.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
I like it, man.
You know what mood I'm in.
But no, I was about to say, because look, I swear,
you took it out of my mouth
because another day you'll be like,
yo, they won't fuck with our shit.
They're making a conscious effort
to fuck with our shit.
You can't knock it
when they're making a conscious effort
to fuck with our shit.
I won't knock it.
Okay.
I just do think it looks good on me.
Could have given you a difference.
Y'all saw LeBron's. Could it give you a difference?
Y'all saw LeBron's first NBA player to get a Billy?
Yes. While we're here?
LeBron's reached a billion dollars in revenue.
Absolutely.
Let's meet tonight.
Absolutely.
He won't be the last.
Nah.
Oh, shit.
While we're on sports.
Take that, Mike.
The Cleveland baseball team has renamed their team.
The Guardians.
The Guardians.
The Cleveland Guardians. That's long overdue. Yeah. Oh, they're not the Indians team. The Guardians. The Guardians. The Cleveland Guardians.
That's long overdue.
Yeah.
Oh, they're not the Indians anymore.
Yeah.
Correct.
Okay.
You have to stop saying Indians.
I just did.
No, you said it.
That was the last time.
It's over.
That was it.
I promise.
This was long overdue.
I'm really happy about this.
Yeah, me too.
I didn't want them to address the-
Atlanta, you're next.
The Washington football team.
Atlanta, Falcons, Atlanta.
Braves.
Braves.
But I don't think the Braves is bad. No? Mmves. But I don't think the Braves is bad.
No?
Mm-mm.
I don't think the Braves is bad.
Indians is bad.
I don't think none of the Braves was Braves.
Not even David Justice?
No.
Greg Maddox?
David Justice, nah.
Schultz?
No.
Schultz was brave.
Yo, when I saw this come across the ticker about the Guardians,
I started trying to get into what the Yankees were.
But whatever they were, we leaving it.
We are not doing that.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That's a good one.
No, we're not doing that.
That's a good one.
We're keeping that one.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
No, that ain't racist no more.
No, nah.
Nah.
Yo, imagine having to come up with a new name for the Yankees.
But none of the Yankees weren't racist.
Thank the Lord.
He said, just imagine the Yankees.
Just imagine.
Of that.
Like the Redskins, the Indians.
Y'all, that's just racist shit.
Y'all wasn't swaggy.
The Yankees is kind of saucy.
Imagine having it.
We're not doing that.
It's certain teams.
You just have to leave the Cowboys
you gotta leave them all
the Yankees is saucy
it is what it is
sorry niggas
I gotta root for my guys
that's how you gotta feel
as a Cowboys fan right
as I said that's the other one
I don't think Cowboys
is intense enough
no we're saying
I don't think that at all
uh oh
uh oh
nevermind
I don't think that
you know the Cowboys is not racist yeah no it's not racist I don't think that at all. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Never mind. I don't think that.
The Cowboys is not racist?
Yeah.
No, it's not racist.
So that's good.
You think that's racist?
The name the Cowboys?
No.
The organization, however.
No.
I mean, we can move on.
We ran out of muffins. No, no, no.
There are no muffins here.
There's no muffins.
The NFL on a whole.
My bad.
Yo, you hear him?
He went to the NFL as a whole.
It's just no muffins here.
Let's move on.
There's no muffins.
We got to go to the supermarket.
That nigga tried to put some empty shit in the fucking.
He went to the NFL
as a whole
you looked at me
and asked me a question
cause that's your team
don't go to the NFL
as a whole
I asked you about the Ravens
the Roonies ain't racist
damn it
I know
I hear you
the Giants is racist
but the house
thank you
thank you
all of them
but we got Saquon
we got Zeke.
We drafted a nigga named Zeke.
That's how you know y'all racist.
That's how you know the Cowboys is racist.
What?
Y'all took a nigga named Zeke.
As opposed to Saquon.
Who just rubbed on his stomach.
Saquon.
And ate everything out of a cereal bowl.
That's who y'all drafted.
And y'all kept Sean Lee for 10 years after he couldn't play no more.
Y'all did a lot of racist shit over the years.
I ain't going to lie.
Word.
Yeah.
But I ain't going to say nothing about the Giants.
Who y'all ain't draft?
Dwayne Haskins, thank God.
Yo, relax.
That's not true.
He might have got busy then, nigga.
He's my quarterback.
And you was calling him a racist organization after that.
Shut up, you phony ass nigga.
Wait, Dwayne Haskins is on the Steelers?
Yes.
Oh, man. Didn't this girl just beat him up or some shit? them a racist organization after that. Shut up, you phony ass nigga. on the Steelers? Yes.
Didn't this girl just beat him up
and some shit?
Domestic violence
is not funny, Joe.
No, it's funny
when they whipping our ass.
No, no, no, no.
It's only funny
because she came out
and said,
nah, nah,
let him live.
She's a little bit
of a straight man.
She came out
and was like,
nah,
I ain't do some harm
if I ever get
attacked for some shit
I don't want the girl
to come out
and say nah
it ain't go like that
I'ma laugh you out
I wanna be the guy
to say
wait a second
I went to the class
that's a bad joke.
We should do that.
It's bad.
I know you could joke about niggas getting beat up.
Yeah, you could.
Nobody else.
Just us.
Just us.
And I'm only joking because they both said it didn't happen like that.
Teeth would knock.
Never mind.
Something happened.
Yeah, I think she knocked his tooth out, right?
Something happened.
Well, she couldn't have did none of that if his ass was practicing the art of football.
And by his last season, he shouldn't have had time to get beat up by—
That was last season.
Y'all like a problematic quarterback, man.
It's been out of the bathroom.
Y'all niggas on here waiting. Y'all niggas rooting for some toxic shit, man. That's a fact. I'm asking

My quarterback has
two Super Bowl
championships.
He can use all
the bathrooms.
So that means
he could what?
Use the bathroom
if he needs to use
He can do whatever
he want to do in the
bathroom.
He uses the bathroom
differently than we do.
I don't know what
he does in the bathroom.
He flushed different.
You knew what
he was doing.
He was never
charged with anything.
Oh wait,
this is not funny.
Stop playing. I don't know how I wait it's not funny come on it's not funny
it's not funny
I don't know how I support you
alright come on
just put a bleep
through all of it
the whole
the whole
40 minutes
no no no
just the Steelers part
let my Giants flourish
oh man
let us rock
we might be 11 and 6
oh shit
what's the new record
did they add it again
what's the shit I'm not gonna watch it y'all won might be 11 and 6. What's the new record? Did they add it to the game? Let's see.
I'm not even watching.
Y'all won't be 11 in anything.
Okay, so in my fantasy football league, we had our draft the other day.
Damn.
No, no, no.
Not the draft.
Our lottery to see who picks where.
Oh, that's dope.
The last three years, I've gotten the 11th pick.
That's a good pick though.
I like that pick.
Out of how many teams?
12 teams?
Out of his league?
12 teams.
Okay.
The rule in this league is
whoever gets the first pick
whatever pick you get
means you get to pick
where you want to pick.
Right.
So if you get the first pick you can pick where you want to pick. Right. So if you get the first pick,
you can pick where you want to pick.
I don't want the first pick.
I want to pick 10.
I want the 10th pick.
You now get 10.
The second pick goes there.
All right,
I know I want the first pick.
So that's how it goes.
What the fucking rule is that?
So I've been getting fucked the last three years with the 11th pick because
somebody always comes and says,
I want the 11th pick. and then i'm stuck with like
nine or some bullshit right not this year what'd you get the sixth pick it's not highest pick i've
ever gotten it's not bad you probably got the guy that the guy that picked you stayed at first. Fucking Ja Rule.
You can't escape this nigga.
Every year Ja Rule does something quirky,
we all laugh at him,
and he fucking ends up being the man.
Ja Rule.
Everybody has laptops.
I hate him.
This nigga was drafting with a notepad.
I've never seen him like that.
With a pencil?
No, yes.
Yes.
Ja Rule do shit like.
Get laughed out the room with his picks.
And then win.
Take the rookie kid.
You know what?
Round seven, I think Justin Jefferson might.
And I'm just freestyling it.
Yeah.
But.
And then that happened.
He might have got Mahomes in the ninth round his rookie year.
Like, he took some guy from the Patriots that nobody ever heard of
that had a good season, too.
We laughed him out of here, and he did great.
So, he had the first pick.
He stayed at one.
Kaiser had the second pick.
Moved to 10.
Okay.
Why would you intentionally move to 10?
I don't get that.
No, I don't get it? I don't get that. No, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Kaiser's thinking is after whoever the best running back is
or whoever the best player is, pretty fair value from 2 to 10.
2 and 10 are the same.
No, 2 and 11 are the same.
But they don't have to be.
2 and 11 are the same.
I understood the spot move.
If I can get the last of the great running backs at 10
and now get the double back on the snake from 10 instead of up front,
because up front you got to wait the whole.
I get it.
But anyway, long story a little less long, at six I moved.
You lying.
No.
Seven? Up. No. 12? 12. I moved you lying no up
no
12
3
stayed at 3
no 3 went to 2
ok
cause 2 is open now
4 didn't answer the phone
5 did some shit
so it was on me
I moved to 12
I like that
I see 12
I see 12
that's why I don't understand
that's why I said 12 I moved to 12 I get 10 that. I see 12. I see 12. That's why I don't understand 10. That's why I said 12.
I move to 12.
I get 10.
I kind of get it, but-
I get 10 because you get the better of the running back.
Double back.
At 12, there probably won't be a great running back there.
No.
You get a double back.
But I'm going to get great something else.
You might get a little Clyde Edwards-Solaire or some shit right there.
No way.
At 12, you could take Mahomes.
I'm saying this year's version of it.
Nah. Mahomes ain't going to be there at 12. You might get. At 12, you could take Mahomes. I'm saying this year's version of it. Nah.
Mahomes ain't gonna be there
at 12.
You might get
homeboy the Steelers.
I ain't taking Mahomes
anyway.
Crazy as hell.
At 12?
At 12,
you might take him,
yeah.
At 12,
you might take him.
Yeah,
at 12.
Bet you fucking might.
You come back with Mahomes
and the best running back
on the board at that point.
Ain't no running back
on the board at that point.
He might be the best
wide receiver on the board.
Or you get that
number one receiver,
number two receiver.
How many running backs
you think?
Ice won't be next to me
to make me take
Zach Erks
in the fourth round again.
He got a place to bat.
No, we both did bad.
That was us.
We had a bad draft.
That was a bad draft.
What was that boy
from Tennessee?
Oh, we left
fucking King Henry
on the board
for Le'Veon Bell.
Oh, Le'Veon fucking Bell.
That's what we did.
Two of us. Yeah. Yo, yo. I'm on the call. I'm on the board. Left him on the board. For Le'Veon Bell. For Le'Veon fucking Bell. God. That's what we did. Two of us.
Yeah.
Yo.
We put our heads together.
Yo.
I'm on the call.
I'm on the call.
They picking the balls.
Everybody on the call.
Like, Joe, where Ice at?
Please bring him back to the draft.
Please draft with him again.
That's what it was.
Yeah, no.
I know.
It was him.
It was Ja?
No.
It was everybody.
Kaiser.
And rapper. Everybody. They was all looking for you. But yeah, our draft is coming up soon. And I couldn't wait. I know it was him it was Ja no Kaiser it was everybody Kaiser and rapper
everybody
it was all looking for you
but yeah our draft
is coming up soon
and I couldn't wait
it seemed like every year
I lose I can't wait
for the draft
because I want to pick better
and then the draft
comes around
I have no idea who to pick
drafts are just fun

He put his life in his words.
Shine brighter than jewels.
Oh, man.
Man.
He put his life in his words.
Shine brighter than jewels.
To the point where you feel it's stronger than class.
First out of my board at midnight.
Once I saw Kanye West, what now?
This is Young Blue.
Somebody I spoke about on the last pod.
Then I found out he was in New York.
So I reached out so we could talk to him because I really like this project.
Oh no.
See if we can get Blue on the phone for a minute. Oh. Bad bitches rubbin' on my earlobes We pilin' up a robe, elbows He ain't in my salary cap Niggas say they gettin' money, but I'm callin' the cap
Oh, look what we done We took a bad situation and made it great
He got 20 years, it was drug-related And he took the plea deal, that goes to show you
Just how much the system hate us How come nobody congratulate us?
We make it out this long And we come from ducking, hunting round the drums
And the school says we treat us like we don't
That's why I'm in the hallway Eighth grade, I was trappin' in the hallway

I am.
Rolling loud, right?
Yeah.
You should be on top of the world right now.
Your album just dropped, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yo, what is it about John Legend's voice on intros?
Man, bro.
Do you subscribe to that?
Your intro sounds like you subscribe to, yo, it's not really an intro unless John Legend is singing about some godly shit in the background.
Yeah, nah, for sure, bro.
Like, that man, his voice just, he just brung the whole intro home to me like when I when I when I got
finished with the song I was like man I'll be John Legend on here I thought you'd be him just
sang a ballad on the end gotta have no verse no hook or nothing just just sang on the end
yeah I ended up making a habit it was ridiculous I copped as soon as it dropped and i was blown away when the intro
stopped and then you know the next thing i heard was you guessed it her the beautiful
sultry sounds of her how come y'all two keep making heat
how come you and her keep making heat like this
How come you and her keep making heat like this?
Man, we just, man, her just clicked.
You know, we just clicked.
We got in and we just, we both like creatives.
Like, we really like writers.
Like, we make our stuff quick.
And it was just like natural. Like, every time I get in with her, we make amazing music.
How old are you?
I'm 26.
You're only 26?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Wow.
How long you been on Empire?
How long I been doing music?
No, how long you been on Empire?
Oh, I just going on my second year.
Going on my second year.
So you kind of taking off like quick.
Real quick.
Yeah, but I've been on the label before, though.
Like, I've been on Columbia.
Like, I started off at Columbia.
Mm-hmm.
And, you know what I'm saying?
Then that situation worked out.
Then I went independent for a little bit.
And then I went to Empire.
So me and my man was just talking,
and he was surprised that you were on Empire
because you were steaming hot.
He thought you would have been on a major.
Was that a decision to not be on one?
Yeah.
I feel like when I was, like, after the Drake tour,
I had, like, a band war with, like, a lot of major labels,
and they was just kind of like
No, just throwing money in my face
Telling me like I couldn't be
Such and such like without amazing labor. I couldn't be like this big without amazing labor
That I really trying to scare me. Mm-hmm. Yeah guys, you know just coming every like
Really the same amount of money, but just said I could all my shit like I could you know They'd be independent be my own balls. I can have a freedom that I want to
Do what I want to do and then I would like normal though, you know guys enough and that was important to you
Yeah, it was a part for me
So it really I didn't want to put her wrong cuz you telling me like what I can only be
You know there but I child that kind of made me want to like
That kind of maybe you want to try to do it. You know there. Uh-huh
I had I really had to sacrifice like a couple a couple million
To you know said to the religion. Yeah, do it
Yeah to do it independent cuz they was trying to give me a little bit more,
but I ended up sacrificing less to get more.
It looks like the sacrifice is paying off.
Can you be careful at Rolling Loud, please?
Oh, no.
I'll be in my room, man.
I ain't going to the day I'm on.
To the day I'm on a show.
Yo, are you in a relationship?
Or are we moving around?

You know, I need to be nervous before you drop.
For real.
But wait, even with all the success that you've seen and the Drake record and all that, still
you had that nervousness, the goosebumps right before you dropped?
Yeah, I always do because I always try to, like,
come different on every album.
So you kind of just be, like, kind of scared, like,

Don't they know they have Ms. Lead? What's the value of their trust?
Don't they know they have this left?
What's the value of their trust?
Don't they know they have this left?
I done seen niggas change for the pettiest change
That's how you get the traded shots from a friendly exchange
Funny how the losses turn into plenty of gains
And how the crosses turn to crosses with chains, let me explain
Used to throw my nigga weed on the arm, keys to the doorway
What you wanna scheme on me for, though we was dogs, snake?
Fuck, I put trust over logic, he want the whores, want the clout
He don't hustle for profit, want the fawn, don't want the house
Just a couple of watches, peaked his flaws, it cost out
I juggled my options, he went from fucking up grams to a couple grand
Guess he had other plans, I'm still trying to understand
I always been reasonable, you know we done worked it out
I know what you working with and how long is your turnaround
I guess 20 plus, don't equate to a couple P's Reasonable, you know we done worked it out I know what you're working with and how long is your turnaround
I guess 20 plus, don't equate to a couple P's
Crazy, I gave you trust, you was trying to hustle me
Fuck you, nigga
Yo, what up, my nigga?
What up, dawg?
Shit, man, you remember them joints Times had last week?

Hell yeah, man, no cap
I ain't want my wife's
Alright, say less
Ayo, it took a lot of pain to show me that I was living blind
I done lost homies to see me as they finish line
Back to back shit, but my business you swim in mine
Shoutin' loyalty, but I guess you got a different kind
Slowly all the chaos grew
Went from rappin' to speakin' on me
But what that really say bout you?
Them niggas talk like broads, that's the way I knew
You in the way, go your way, that's not the way I do
Closest ones be the next that'll lurk
Feelin' like they entitled to have mine
But do less of the work
It's my fault, all the signs, all your faults I sled
Being unrealistic cause my heart too big
While I fly through the street and grind so we eat
You was trying to compete, I'm my seat
Made a stream of blood glide down your cheek
I should've crushed you, some disused friends for a hustle Nigga, fuck you Featuring Mussolini Pardon me
Wake up, bro
1-2, 1-2
Y'all be a little too emotional
And getting jealous
How about you save some of that feminine energy
For the women, fellas
As many zip codes as sick flows
It takes discipline and some patience to get dope, really
Not that penny-binching
I change the scenery at any minute
The top missing, call it bad beautician
You get around niggas acting different
That shit's triggering
For that space, I give you distance
Gangsta rapping, never lived it
Enjoy the fruits, but still got some sour spots
Dowel crop on Avon Avenue like a flower pot Feeling like a short man in a fucking tall
world Had a deep conversation with a Russian call
girl I ain't hop on no pubic to get my truth in
You do too much talking, nobody asks for your two cents
I ain't trying to build you fake Andy, man Bitches say my name in the mirror
Doing makeup like I'm Candy Man

Touch your chakras, Phantom of the Opera
