I can't want to pop.
Knock it off, though.
I can't want to pop.
The people been saying you've been finding your groove a little bit like Stella.
They have been saying that.
I'm not making this up.
It's just Stella.
I don't like my vibe.
It be too loud, man.
Let me get back.
For real, I be listening.
You really be reading the comments.
I be listening back.
No, I listen back.
I listen back.
That's part of the gig.
You supposed to.
I'm going to start listening too.
I listen a little bit.
And then other niggas listen.
If you're not ready to devote yourself to the gig,
then why are we in the gig?
That's true.
Why are we in the gig?
That makes sense.
Let me tell you what I'm about to do.
Ian hit me this morning trying to have a sentimental talk.
I hate when people do that.
We record? Yeah. We're always recording because Parks is on his grizz hate when people do that. We record?
Yeah.
We're always recording
because Parks is on his grizzly.
That's right.
You heard?
That's right.
Happy New York Day 2.
Hey.
Happy New York Day.
We celebrating New York today.
Gunshot.
Talking to Ian this morning,
he's trying to have a sentimental moment with me.
Boy, do I hate that as a Virgo.
I hate when people try to have those.
Oh, it's disgusting.
It feels so yucky, like, when it's in person.
I only like it on a million little things, and this is us.
Oh, man.
I don't like that shit in person.
You got to tell Ian to play some weird acoustic vibey music in the background while he has the conversation.
So it taps into that.
Niggas all sitting in front of some artsy picture talking about, how about you, buddy?
Are you good?
How you doing for real?
But then I'm like, you know what?
No one ever asked that.
I'll just get what I say.
So if someone asks that, you have to appreciate it.
Especially me today with just where the world is.
So I appreciate it.
So I sit and ponder.
And I say, I'm good, man. Thanks. That's awesome is. So I appreciate it. So I sit and ponder. And I say, I'm good, man. Thanks.
That's awesome, man. I appreciate
you asking. But then
he doubled down. And he
said, nah, man, because
you know, if you're ever rougher,
if anything's ever going on, you know,
you can talk to me.
That's nice. That's dope.
So then I'm like, yeah, but
is that what it is? Maybe I'm like, yeah. It's called good friendship.
Oh, is that what it is?
Maybe I'm really toxic.
Why?
Why you look at it like that?
So then I, well, then I opened up to him.
And what I said to him was, Ian, I'm great.
But maybe that's the problem.
I'd be great.
Like,
I don't know when to not be great.
Like the world could be burning down and my,
my perspective on it.
I'm just going to come out feeling great.
So I said that to him and then I felt like he didn't understand.
Right.
So then I tried to find a different way to say it.
And I said,
all right,
let me put it to you like this. Plenty plenty of times I just want to fucking end this shit but I'm not so you keep going
like yeah what the fuck are we talking about you gotta keep going what how you feel you're
taking a shit or you get off the toilet the The gig is the gig. What you sign yourself up for, whatever you think your purpose is, your fate, blah, blah.
Now I'm on a rant.
But that's where I'm at with it.
It was a Bill Burr skit on that.
One of my favorite skits.
It was like, yo, I think about just ending this shit for the tiniest of reasons.
Like when my wife wants me to get extra shit from the store after I just left the store.
I went, oh, I should just go get hit by a bus and fucking get the fuck out of here.
But you can't do that.
So you go back to the store.
The end.
And it's mental health awareness month still because I said it.
Okay.
It's important.
It's important.
It is.
I just talked to y'all about PTSD.
What that stand for?
Podcasters that seem depressed.
Hey, yo, dog.
You know my teeth fucked up, man.
Fuck you did to your teeth?
He'll not eat pussy.
You're not supposed to use the teeth, ish.
Why do you use your teeth still to eat pussy?
Still.
Everybody did it once.
I'm about to say, don't do that, Parks.
I never used my teeth once. I swear to God say, don't do that, Parks. I never used my teeth
one time.
I swear to God, I did.
What the fuck

You got an overbite now.
Shut up.
So?
I've never used my teeth
in my life to eat no box.
You did?
No, I didn't, though.

Yo, see, and that's what I be saying when I'm in my house.
The new shit I'm on, because August Joe, in preparation for 41, is getting ready for 2022.
I'm in the house like, yo, I'm me.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, enough.
I've seen enough of niggas in Cabo.

At 1054 when you might have lied and said what was really going on.

All right, so let me talk now.
Joe's stance is when Ice and I say, yo, we going over there?
Nope.
Good luck.
Go by yourself.
I ain't never setting foot in there.
And he's been saying that for years.
Yeah.
So now he tries to put it on me saying,
yo, shit was lit.
But nope, you,
you pussy ass nigga,
stay over there.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm going by your advice
and what you're saying.
Yo, don't even tell me about it.
I had to remember who I be.
So you forgot who you was,
is what you say.
Yeah, man.
A merry hat.
You took who you was.
You forgot your little West Side knuckle game.
I know.
As soon as that shit got said, everybody got on a merry.
Merry everything.
West Side, go.
All your favorites.
Come on.
No, I'm saying you forgot your West Side knuckle game.
I forgot, man.
But I was getting to a point.
Well, I don't even remember my point.
I don't remember my point.
It was outside.
It was a hired gun out there.
I was happy to see a hired gun.
I like a hired gun.
I like,
and that,
back to niggas being toxic and sick.
Like, I like the gun
if you know what you're supposed to do
with the gun,
if we could just assure that part.
A professional.
Yeah. Yeah, you're only just a regular nigga with a gun cause he don't know
what to do he may not be professional but he
professional yeah you know what to do with it
yeah and then had me a blast
man nothing but love and respect in the streets
I mean and that's what I mean
about remember who I be I'm not trying to say
I'm Mike Tyson of course I'm saying
it's a lot of love and respect in the
streets man man round of love and respect in the streets, man.
Round of applause.
And then again, the fact that you won't show your face in these certain areas.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm by myself. I have my purse.
Niggas know what time it is.
The big one?
No, no, no. A little snub.
A little snub.
I told you what that was good for.
Something cozy
I told him
It was love
Love and respect
It ain't just a little baby that could do it
Look, Corey panicking
Last thing niggas need is me, Mr. Clumsy out there
Alright

Don't do that
You would be the one
I wouldn't shoot nobody but me

The way that they got Plaxico

You know what I mean?
Because you wanted to be tough for a second.
That's funny.
The very first time I ever brought a gun out the house.
And I'm starting this podcast.
What's when?
I was 16.
Okay.
And why didn't I?
I didn't need a gun, by the way.
Allegedly.
I didn't need any of this.
My mom didn't know I had a gun.
Why didn't I have a gun? But I had a gun. And this was the day. I didn't need any of this. My mom didn't know I had a gun. Well, I didn't have a gun,
but I had a gun,
and this was the day.
I'm going outside with this thing.
See what's going on.
See what's going on.
What pants you had on?
How many times you dropped it?
No, no, no.
It was tiny.
It was tiny.
I didn't drop it at all.
I didn't drop it.
And it was the wintertime,
so I had a coat on.
I listened to Nas.
Put my shit on the inside.
In the lining?
Yeah, yeah.
I listened to Nas, so I was lit. And I of the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I listened to Nas.
So I was lit.
And I went over to one of them tough blocks over there by Dunkin'.
It wasn't Dunkin', but before you get up to Dunkin', it was tough.
I had a little girl over there at the time, right?
And I went to hug one of the street niggas over there.
Older nigga.
And when I let him go, he said, yo, go put it back in the house.
Word up.
Good.
And I just listened.
I just went.
He wasn't one of the niggas that you question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just went.
I didn't even go to the girl's house.
I put it back.
And I didn't do that again.
You don't even know.
That nigga could have saved your life.
I didn't do that again.
I didn't do that again. I didn't do that again.

Well, yeah.
I mean, not like, you know.
I'm just saying.
If you bring a gun outside and you're not ready for that action and you did something dumb.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I had one on me and got up out the chair at the barber and the shit slid down here.
And I'm like, shit.
Everybody knew what it was.
I'm like, I'm going to holler at you niggas later.
Why don't you just get a different armor?
You limping out.
Or a holster.
You don't need to get a, yeah, Apple, because Apple don't make a holster.

Happy New York Day.
Hey.
By the time you're hearing this, the locks versus dip set would have already happened.
I'm going to have the time of my life.
But as of right now now where we are,
that's in the future,
so I can't talk about that,
but it's New York Day.
It is.
The energy's in the air.
It is.
And I've really loved how they've gone about
just going back and forth,
Styles and Jim and Cam and Sheik now
and just all of it.
I didn't see Sheik yet.
I just saw Styles and Jim. Yeah just all of it. I didn't see Chic yet. I just saw Styles
and Jim.
Yeah, it going crazy.
I just want the verses
at this point.
Yeah.
The banter is going to be epic.
Yeah.
Or it was epic.
This happened yesterday.
I'm just thinking Styles
is the best.
I'm picking the locks
but I'm rooting for Dipset.
I'm going Dipset. if I can do that in sports
I can do it in hip hop
now I'm about to say
I'm on the other end
you're rooting for
I'm rooting for the locks
you're rooting for the locks
but you picked the Dipset
got it
T-Blocks
all around the board
Dipset
like I'm 45
I can't not root for Dipset
And
Be born in
Harlem
I get it
Even though my mom would say
I wasn't born in Harlem
You lived in Harlem
You juked the system
And
You were at the hospital
In Midtown
For a second
Then you went back
To the projects
In Harlem
Same projects
Where Freaky Zeke's family is from Okay So I can't watch that and not root for niggas from the same projects too I mean I'm
rooting for Harlem in the like when I really started making music we were listening to Dipset
that's in my genes I fucked one girl from New Rochelle which was Yonkers to me. Maybe one girl in Yonkers, properly Yonkers,
and maybe one in Westchester.
Listen, I went to Yonkers that one time and never returned.
She didn't live on a nice block.
I got pretty good at knowing what neighborhood I was in,
even if I've never been in that neighborhood.
Where do we learn that?
Nigga, you grew up in the ghetto.
Mm-hmm.
You could spot some shit.
We learned that there?
Yes.
100%.
Nigga, I never went back
to that girl's house.
You could drop me off
in fucking Alabama.
I'ma be like,
that block right there?
You could tell.
It's going down over there.
It's hot.
Let me stay on this one.
Mm-hmm.
I'm chilling.
I don't want no sauce.
And I just feel like, eh like this is my own weird shit in my head i always feel like you just gotta be wherever you're supposed to be in the world at all times for the shit to go like it's
supposed to go and the second you veer off of that you just open yourself up to anything anything and we normally veer off of our
track because of women women sure women so that's always or just a stupid sense of adventure yeah
but if it's that happens sometimes when you're young at least when you're young but normally
when it's money even if it's money that, that might just still be you on your track.
And this is a bad decision or a decision based or rooted in the wrong things.
And it's part of your lesson.
And maybe you need that.
And you'll even avoid that for women.
Yeah, absolutely.
So no matter where you are in your fate, like women might get you off of you.
You talked about strip club earlier, right?
I was laughing, right?
Because I had a blast that night i had such a great time that she probably would
have enjoyed me coming to wherever her next workstation was the next night and if i had
such a blast there was a time where might have went you're the shoulder might have went to this
new hood hole in the wall that you got to learn security learn the hood niggas learn the gang
members learn the women learn what's going on and be fucking mortified anytime somebody looks at you
and goes on their phone and starts typing because that's what comes with that yep like it's a lot
she thinks she's just cute. You're not that cute.
Sometimes you go to wrong places just for the sense of adventure, though.
At least when I was young, I did.
Like, I would go to some shit just to roll with the crew.
No one did some bullshit over there.
You're white.
True.
No, no, no, no, no. No, it's not true.
No, no, I ain't going to excuse that.
My son called my son.
I called my son, my oldest son.
I called Trey a couple days ago.
Yo, I miss you.
What's going on?
He didn't.
Oh, FaceTime. I'm FaceTime king couple days ago. Yo, I miss you. What's going on? He didn't know FaceTime.
I'm FaceTime king.
When you old,
you don't even,
do they still only do mobile calls?
I don't even mobile call, niggas.
I'm FaceTiming anybody
but you, Android, man.
I'm FaceTiming.
So I FaceTimed my kid.
He looking all stupid in the face
in some unfamiliar background to me.
I'm like, yo, where you at?
He's like, oh.
Ah.
I can't really.
Yo, your spidey senses just went right up. I said, excuse me?
He said, I'm in Plainfield.
I said, how about this?
Call me when you're free.
No, no, no.
How about this?
You good?
You hang up the phone and you text me when you're free.
Oh, all right.
He told me it was good.
He told me it was good, but he wasn't in a place to speak freely to say,
and I know that.
I can see that.
So he gets out.
He calls me immediately.
Ten minutes later, he says, I've never been to Plainfield.
It's my first time.
I said, ah.
Ta-ta-ta.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
Hey, you've never been to Plainfield.
Well, what were you doing in Plainfield?
Roll with the crew.
Oh, my sorority sister.
Your dad ain't the one to even start this with.
Hey, that's fucked up when your kid got to get punished for who you are.
Hey, I don't give a not too fucks about your little sorority sister.
Fraternity, bro. Nigga, if you don't get your little ass fucks about your little sorority fraternity bro
but i didn't say that i said okay since you want to put those mouths on your car
let me let you know it's gonna be 25 cent a mile at the end of whatever oh but my point is they
just white people it's like it's being adventurous. Curious George. Curious George.
Or just some people invite you to some shit
you didn't know
what it was about to be.
To his point,
like he said,
sorority sister,
that's women.
It's women?
Yeah.
So I'm talking about
what Parks is saying,
oh, let's just be adventurous.
We don't do that.
I'm not talking about
just wandering through
some random shit.
I did.
I did.
Okay.
You ever had someone
invite you somewhere
and you're like,
yeah, fuck it, I'll come over there with you and then invite you somewhere? You're like, yeah, fuck it.
I'll come over there with you.
And then you get over there and be like.
See, Parks is talking normal because he's white.
There was a time when I had been in every abandoned building in Jersey City that existed.
I used to do the same in Elmira.
There was a time in Jersey City I had been in every single project that existed.
Just because I heard too many people talking about these projects, I had to go and see.
You wanted to go see.
I had to see for myself.
When it was Marion and Montgomery and I thought it was the same and it wasn't the same and I had to learn that the hard way.
Yeah, no, now I got to go down here.
Are you kidding me?
Where the hell is Marion?
Where these niggas live at?
Oh, yeah, you wild.
Yeah, no.
Oh, no, I laugh.
You on your own with that one.
No, you got it.
I'm just saying.
It was a short stay. You got the fuck got it I'm just saying it was a short stay
you got the fuck out of here
quick
it was a short stay
I know where I sit
in the tough party hierarchy
I think self awareness
is important as men
I ain't going down there
by myself
but at 40
I was just telling
this nigga the other day
I'm glad that at 40
well
until you start getting
hit in hip hop festival and all this bullshit I'm glad that at 40, well, until you start getting hit in hip hop festival
and all this bullshit,
I'm glad at 40,
you're just not supposed to fight anymore.
No, that's wrong.
At 40, fam?
You really shouldn't.
Yeah, you should not be fighting.
Somebody got to really just be fighting.
It really got to be some real crazy shit.
Yeah, what went on?
I'm trying to think.
Nah, a nigga could put your back in the corner where you got to fist him and sum up.
But nah, it's going to take a lot.
It should take a lot.
It takes a lot.
No, it ain't like it was in late teens, 20s.
It takes a lot.
Come on, what y'all want to talk about?
It's Wednesday.
We can talk about anything y'all want to talk about in the world.
Well, I haven't seen y'all since.
I mean, you said yours.
How was you guys' weekend?
It was cool.
What did I do?
We went bar hopping on Saturday.
That was cool.
I like bar hopping.
Brian and I, we hit like four or five spots.
And then I slept all day Sunday because I can't do it no more.
I learned that pretty quick.
You old.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your body starts to tell you, hey, check this out.
Yeah.
I didn't feel bad.
I didn't feel, like, drunk at the time.
But the next day, I was toast.
You'd be fucked up.
Toast.
Sit your ass down.
McDonald's in bed the next morning.
It ain't a quick recoup like it used to be.
I wasn't right until about 8 p.m.
This guy leaves out such important factors to things.
He leaves out such important details that just would make for amazing podcast content.
I don't know if he does it purposely, so I don't know if I can share.
No, you can share.
But why would you and Ian and Brian just be out on that?
Oh, because our women were on that show.
Hold on, let me finish.
You didn't want to share?
You didn't want to share, so let me drag it out now.
Now I'm going to make a thing of it.
Why?
Y'all just let these little, him, his tall, tall white bestie Brian, and Ian on a Saturday night together.
Hitting the streets.
Two of those dudes with fiancés.
Well, what do you know?
They were out of town.
Girls trip.
They were on a girl.
They were on their bachelorette party.
I think the world should know that. They were on a girl. They were on their bachelorette party. Oh, nice.
I think the world should know that.
They were in Tulum.
Tuluming.
So we're in Astoria?
Astorian.
They went to the loom?
They went to the loom, man.
Oh.
So now what do you think about his little guy's weekend that he had?
We didn't go to a strip bar, strip club.
I know.
I wish we would have.
Because Ian didn't call.
Why not?
I know when they on white boy shit,
because I don't get to call.
Well, you said that you were staying home all weekend,
so I didn't want to bother you.
Joe's never.
Look.
That's all I.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Call.
That just means I don't have nothing planned right now.
Let me answer one of the age-old questions in hip-hop.
Sometimes it's Uchiwale.
Sometimes it's one mic.
Like, I never understood where the diss is there.
Why do I?
I'm both of those.
I probably talked to you when I was one mic-ing.
Yeah, I'm just going to stay home, kick it, chill, chill.
You're going to hit me back on the kick-off knowledge.
Oh, he turned into Uchiwala.
Quick pass.
Out smiling in bitches' faces.
When you out smiling as a guy.
They got them teeth and don't know how to act.
You were happy as hell at the bar.
Nigga, I lost his mind.
Let me get out.
Oh, man.
What y'all want to talk about?
Oh, wait, no.
Parks was doing that?
Okay.
That was my weekend.
Oh, I was fucked up.
Oh, yeah, your mouth situation.
In the hospital?
You know, when I came Friday.
At home, probably.
No. I was Friday. At home, probably. No.
I was away.
I was... Bro, you want me to tell my story or not?
This nigga's so ignorant.
So, Friday I came, left the pod.
Me too.
I did some of that on Friday.
In reverse, hopefully.
I was nowhere to be found.
You think I wasn't going to come on a Friday?
Oh, you got me fucked up.
I might have put the lube in the microwave that night.
Heat it up a little bit.
Oh, she got warm hands.
I tried the Trojan Fifi thing, by the way.
What the fuck?
I tried the Trojan Fifi.
It was terrible.
The Trojan Fifi. I tried it. You're lying, dog. I tried it. You did not try thatifi. It was terrible. The Trojan Fifi.
I tried it.
You're lying, dog.
You did not try that thing.
It was terrible.
It was like jerking off with a condom on.
Yeah, she won, though.
Tulum.
Look what she left him to do.
Yeah, for real.
Yo, you tried that shit?
I tried it, yeah.
Oh, man.
Okay, moving on.
We don't even need the review.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Okay, moving on.
We don't even need the review.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Nah, I had to go to the dentist on Saturday and get the emergency surgery on my mouth.
Oh, shit.
Would you get a root canal?
They had to take two of them out.
Just tell us about the fun stuff from your weekend. There was no fun stuff, nigga.
I'm fucked up.
I had a fun weekend planned at the Governor's Island.
So you know you go to Governor's Island.
They got, this shit's dope too, actually.
Like the soccer field and all that shit?
No, no, no.
What else they got over there?
They got a whole bunch of tents and these little small houses.
You can rent them shits.
Shit is kind of dope.
Finally, we're going to talk about some houses.
He took it to tents.
That's how deep he got to get.
Yo, my tooth was fucked up.
I couldn't build a house,
so I built a tent.
Nah, but it was,
it was some dope shit.
Some romantic shit.
Okay.
That's dope, though.
Everybody got to be in by 10.
You over there on a Hudson.
That sounds not dope.
Yeah.
I got to be in by 10?
Nah, shit was dope.
Anyway. You sleep in the tent overnight? Yeah. Shit was super dope. Yeah. I got beat by a tent? Nah, shit was dope. Anyway.
You sleep in a tent overnight?
Yeah.
Shit was super dope.
It's like a tent tent?
In a tent tent.
They big as hell.
It ain't no little tent.
A tent.
It's a big ass two tents.
Nah, nah, nah.
A tent.
On the grass.
I'm just asking.
Shit is dope.
There are tents that be on the grass.
Yeah, they got shit.
Nah, he had it on his story.
It was a tent.
It was a light.
He had some movies downloaded on his Android It was a 10 It was a light He had some movies
Downloaded on his Android
That he was watching I think
Little grainy
But it got the job done
Right
Right
You downloaded some shit
What you watch
Dodgeball
I was like
Hey dawg
Look at this
Watching Dodgeball
What a great movie
this nigga so stupid
yo
nah but the shit is fire
trust me
nah I'ma trust you
while you was doing that
you had to hear
what I was spitting
yo
I was in there
going crazy
you was in your bag
yo you know
you get high
oh you know
you get high
it just be...
Yo, that's funny.
Some results?
Yeah, home and bed.
Nice.
Alone.
No, nice.
Safe and sound.
Yeah.
Okay, for the third time,
where does everyone want to start?
I think I'm going to stop
going to Star Wars 2, by the way,
while we're on the strip club stuff.
Why?
Why? You like the man in there. I know why'm going to stop going to Star Wars too, by the way. Why are we on the strip club stuff? Why? Why?
You like the man in there.
I know why, though.
And I agree with him.
I've been saying that for a long, long time.
I've been saying that for a long time.
You too hot in there?
No.
Too regular?
No.
I think that.
They need black women in there.
That's one.
And then number two, because the New York strip scene is so crazy,
the women in here really be bugging.
What you mean?
Like, just on a nice tip.
Like, they be mean as fuck.
Like, yo, fam, like, somebody's patronizing you.
Right.
Right?
If you throw a girl, let's just say you throw a girl $100, $200,
they look at you like.
That's it?
Yeah, like you brokey.
You are brokey.
Fam, somebody just gave you $200.
So what?
It's you using logic.
You know what?
You know where you at?
I agree.
Let me finish, though, Ice. If somebody, one guy, just comes in and throws you $200, you barely get a thank you in Starlink.
They look at you like
they got mean strippers
yeah like nigga that's all
you like fam
I just gave you $200
in 20 minutes
you know where you are
they not here for them games
if you broke
don't come here
I just want to see some black girls
I'm tired of it
I'm tired of it
that makes sense though
I'm tired of it
there's nothing but these
light skinned Spanish
I got it
I'm cool with most of them in there it's not a thing with me. That makes sense, though. I'm tired of it. It's nothing but these light-skinned Spanish. I got it. I'm cool with most of them in there.
It's not a thing with me.
That makes sense.
But enough now.
Like, every night is Latin night.
Every night is Spanish night, which is cool until I look around and see a bunch of niggas
that look like me throwing money in the air.
Well, if we're going to do that, yeah, then come and hire some of my homegirls with fat
asses.
I know a few.
That's true.
I feel you.
Yeah,
that's my take on it.
And then I went to the spot
over there.
You know how much it costs
to get $1,000?
How much?
$1,000.
Yeah.
Nah,
like nah.
Hey,
why y'all,
they laughing at me.
No,
I think they take like,
no,
because people don't know
where the $1,000 is.
No,
people don't know. So in Starlet's or any of the New York clubs. any other No, because people don't know. I don't get $1,000 out. No, people don't know.
So in Starlet's or any of the New York clubs.
Well, let's just say any other staff, man, because I don't want to see no Starlet's.
I am going to end up in Starlet's again at some point.
The New York spots.
That's home base.
When you get $1,000, they take 10 out of every 100.
So when you bust 1,000, you only get 900 back to throw.
Right.
So basically, they're charging you 10% to change your bread.
They're taking the money
out of the stripper's pockets.
They're charging you 30%
because they're only
going to give you the 900
and they're going to
charge you another 200.
But they're not charging me.
They're charging the strippers.
Because I'm going to
throw that money
at the strippers.
I'm not keeping the money.
No, no, no.
I understand what you're saying.
But should you decide
to go home with 500?
You ain't going home
with 500.
If you decide to pay your bill, you drunk, right?
So you take your money out.
Let's say you had $200 in drinks.
When you go to bust the $200, it's not $200.
And we're not starting with strip club education.
We are going to move on.
But let's say you go to the ATM.
Oh, no.
That's crazy.
And you get $200.
Now you paid fucking $20 or whatever it costs from the ATM. And that's. Oh, no, it's crazy. And you get $200. Now you paid fucking $20
or whatever it costs
from the ATM.
And that's not just thoughts.
I'm talking about anywhere.
And now you hand it to them
and they hand you one...
60 back.
180 back.
Yeah.
It felt good to get $1,000
for $1,000.
I'll tell you that one.
She was happy.
I left a car.
The ATM in that spot smacked me.
I left a couple hundred
in the L purse by mistake
There you go
No I'll hit her back
Next morning
I hear it
Yo
Yo
Answer the phone
I think I left a little something
She's like yeah
That was a tax
I'm like you know what
You got it
You got it
You got it
Alright so we all wanna start
We all wanna start
Let's pod
Let's get to it
30 minutes in, probably.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
We back.
What do you want me to do?
Come on.
What we got?
You're the GOAT.
You go ahead.
You can lead.
Okay, the baby got kicked off of 90 more festivals.
All of them.
Well, not all of them, but most of them.
You still got some?
Yeah, he still got some. Okay. Wait, not all of them, but most of them. You still got some? Yeah, he still got some.
Okay.
Wait, wait, stop.
Oh, we having that type of pod.
All right, let's get to it.
I didn't even know there were so many festivals,
but I have never been that successful to be invited to all these festivals,
one, and two, all of these festivals did not exist when I was active.
They have just a festival for everything.
They kick their baby off of anything, anywhere where a stage was.
I'm going to be honest.
I don't even know if he was on some of these.
It's like, this is some promo.
Yo, the baby is not performing here.
Fam, I never even heard of you.
I wasn't performing here anyway.
It was the rock and roll festival and shit.
Yeah.
I wasn't buying the ticket.
That's crazy.
The baby will not be here.
We know. That's crazy. But yeah, they kicking him off. That's crazy. The baby will not be here. We know.
That's crazy.
But yeah, they kicking him off.
That's unfortunate, man.
They kicking him off of everything to Ice's earlier little insider joke, except for one.
There's one that they haven't made any announcement about it at all.
They've been pretty quiet.
Which one was this?
And that would be Summer Jam.
Ah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, man.
Nigga, don't be shocked.
At what?
Yeah.
If you get kicked off of that?
Nah, he was just added to that one.
That's what their words were.
Yeah, that was a just add.
Their words was, and just added,
superstar,
by request.
On a date that he had
a different festival
and got kicked off of.
Oh, shit.
He turned us down.
He turned us down before,
but now.
And we getting him
for the low.
We getting him
for the low.
Hey, I'll tell you
who ain't kicking him off.
Hey.
Yeah.
He gonna be at Summer Jam
And he gonna let y'all have it
Canadian Roots Festival
He's gonna be there
Yo how you feel about that
Every time you talk
It's like my uncle just coming to see
What's the hot song
In the streets
How I feel about what part
Like about him
Getting kicked off
Do we feel some type of way
Times we live in man
You play that game
You win that prize
Or lose the prize
No I'm saying
You play stupid games
You win stupid prizes
So you know what
Jumped out on his leg
My fault
You know what has never select my fault you know what
has never failed
yo everybody out there
just put a hand up
in the air like this
right
ladies
Brooklyn
where Brooklyn at
when I say
wave your hands
in the air
and wave them
like you just don't care
all the ladies
in the house
say ho I need this Saturday to ruin a point this way alright that's Saturday in the air and wave them like you just don't care. All the ladies in the house say, hold the word.
I need this Saturday
to ruin a point this way.
All right,
that's Saturday.
Say fuck that.
Everyone in the back,
everyone in the back,
make noise.
Up top,
up top,
I see you up top.
Yo,
where area code you from out there?
Make money,
money,
make money.
Yo.
You can play it different.
There are some staples
that just have always worked.
Yeah.
Who got $50 in their pocket right now?
So I understand the criticism.
I understand the backlash.
And I understand why he's being removed from these festivals.
And I do understand why most of them, by and large,
have to go out and make these press releases.
And it's all part of the game.
It's part of the game.
It's unfortunate to see.
It's not unfortunate.
It's not unfortunate.
It's all dollars.
If you sign up to play the game and that's part of the game, that's part of the game.
If you sign up to play the game and you reap the fucking fruits and the benefits that come with the game,
then you have to play by the rules of
the game and they these are the rules of the game that's right many have been affected he will not
be the last to say something stupid into a microphone true he won't be the last person that
has had uh large amounts of fanfare that has had huge records. Like, everybody gets a turn. So. Seems that way, right?
Listen.
I get it.
I get it.
And then what happens is the people that, and I'll throw it to you, Ice, in a second.
But then what happens is you get this domino effect of black men that have been affected by either the system or some type of infrastructure.
That when these types of
injustices
happen, I'm saying injustice to
the men that feel like this is...
That's how they're seen.
They start speaking up for each other.
So you get Boosie now to say
something. Then you get T.I. to stand up and say something.
Then you get Tory to stand up and say something.
And then it just looks like you have a line
of men who have offended speaking up and say something. And then it just looks like you have a line of men who have offended
speaking up for each other.
It's not the best,
which doesn't help.
It don't,
it don't help.
And it's not the best picture.
I see where it comes from.
It's not the best picture for us,
but the optic.
Right.
So,
so,
and I'm in there.
No,
no,
unfortunately. Stay Right. So, so. And I'm in there. No, no. Stay right there. Unfortunately.
Stay there.
So, from all of their perspectives, right?
So, you offend one group of people.
Right?
Right.
Which should not be offended.
Be clear.
For sure.
Nobody should feel offended.
Sure.
Whatever the case may be.
Nobody should pay to be offended.
But.
That too. No, but. Cool. Y'all going to take a moral stance. should feel offended whatever the case may be nobody should pay to be offended but that's who
no but cool y'all gonna take a moral stance y'all gonna take a moral high ground from all these big
companies you take the moral high ground but then you can get on the stage and call black women
bitches hoes you can get on the stage talk about killing this nigga robbing this nigga and all
that other shit so where does that moral compass go when it's about us killing us?
The moral compass.
We don't even need to argue about this because this exact argument that Ish is saying,
and it's a valid question that a lot of people are asking,
was summed up between an academic's post and a Van Lathan response.
Academic says, these companies got to choose whether they are prioritizing the
art or morality because they all seem like hypocrites when they try and get on a high
horse canceling artists hip-hop is a genre filled with imperfect individuals telling stories why
even fuck with it if you want saints it's just weird how festivals are putting out these elaborate
statements about how much they
care about humanity and because of that can't have the baby on their show for what he said
pardon me yet 90 of the artists they pardon me yet 90 of the artists they book music is about
drugs and murder and it's totally fine to them a stamp points were made. Taken.
He said more.
Van Lathan says,
but that was the... Yeah, that was the gist.
And Van Lathan says
in a beautiful post,
Van Lathan says,
here's the hard truth.
The festival doesn't have a soul.
It's a corporate entity.
That means it's cool
with whatever the consumer
is cool with.
If we're all singing along to songs about misogyny, murder and malice,
then they figure it's cool to put it on stage. But when it's a but when a community has standards about how they'll be spoken to or about, like the LGBTQ LGBTQ plus community obviously does,
then the festival or corporate entity listens it affects
their ability to book other artists down the line and makes them vulnerable to boycotts etc if we
wanted festivals to not book artists that profited in black death we'd have to set a community
standard on what we accept we won't because by and large we like and understand the music
they will do what we do also stop backflipping to excuse bad behavior.
It just stunts growth.
End quote from Van Lathan.
Round of applause.
You got to clap it up.
That was Mars.
He smoked that.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
That ends that for me.
Nothing else to say there.
He's correct.
That's kind of what I was trying to say I'm seeing people say
moral ground
all they see is dollars and cents
that's it
they don't care about you
they don't care about your cause
they don't care about none of this
but it's still hypocritical when they release the statements
it's my job it may look they release the statements. You get what I'm saying? No, it's their job. It's my job.
I agree.
It may look nasty and feel nasty to some of us, but we know why they're doing that.
That's it.
Like, yo, this is dollars.
Somebody sat down in the boardroom and said, yo, check this out, man.
What's our exposure if we keep them on?
Indeed.
What's our exposure if we put them off?
Indeed.
If we take them off?
And they wave that.
It's their shit.
It's their shit.
If someone was working for your company and said
some shit that you didn't like. Listen, if
fucking
the sweet sister Tamika
Mallory was a gazillionaire
and she was giving people 50
million dollars for whatever cause
and they violated that
cause and she said, yo, I'm going to pull my 50 million back.
You would see pro-black everything
running around this bitch.
Again, it's about the money.
That's it.
If she wanted to give $50 million, $100 million to the next president's
blah, blah, blah fund and some shit that she found interesting,
they would find it interesting too.
So DaBaby apologized.
Let me at least pull that up before we close this topic.
He did attempt to give a proper apology.
I just don't know if it was received the way he intended.
It felt very PR-y.
Well, it was PR-y.
Yeah, so it wasn't intended.
And it was too late.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's where my issue is.
I don't think it was.
I'm not mad it was PR-y.
It wasn't a proper apology either.
Yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't proper.
He should get a different PR person.
No, But now
Whoever wrote this email
This apology
Shouldn't write another one
You wanna read it
Yeah let me read it
Social media moves so fast
That people wanna demolish you
Before you even have the opportunity
To grow
Educate
And learn from your mistakes
Stop right there Joe
Real quick
Stop right there
Right there
Stop right there
That's not how an apology starts
This is wrong already
No and he don't feel apologetic
because he doubled and tripled down
on what the fuck he said
you can't say
nah y'all ain't used to a stare at them nigga
I say that's right
I stand on mine
y'all ain't used to people
saying what they believe
he took that stance
for the better part of a week
and some change
poked his chest out at that
and now you turn around and say
social media moves so fast
you demolished me
before I could be educated
I see a lot of people out there and i'm this is this is just broad a broad and general view now a lot of
people out there call themselves stand-up niggas and have no sense of accountability at all and a
big part of apologizing i know because i've apologized quite a bit for just wrongs. I've been mad wrong.
Is acknowledging the wrong.
Taking full accountability of the part that you played in all the circumstances that now exist.
That don't lead with what social media is.
Yeah.
Or the other people.
We know what social media is,
and thank you for explaining the frequency in which it moves.
And not for nothing,
saying you're not educated on a topic is kind of a cop-out to me, too.
They tried to educate you.
They say they give you benefit of the doubt.
People came to you and tried to tell you why what you said and did was wrong.
That's education.
You said, fuck y'all.
And that's where I'm pulling back, and that's where I'm going to pull back, because education don't stop.
Yes, Ice, that's true. People tried to tell him, and and he didn't get it but when you get it is when you get it
hopefully he got it now the way this has played out makes many people feel like maybe he won't
or maybe he doesn't but let me finish the apology at least um move so fast you didn't have the
opportunity to grow educated as a man who has had to make his
own way from very difficult circumstances having people i know publicly working against me
knowing that what i needed was education on these topics and guidance uh has been challenging i
appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness who reached out to me privately to offer
wisdom education and resources that's what needed, and it was received.
I want to apologize to the LGBTQ plus community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made.
Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV, AIDS, and I know education on this is important.
Love to all. God bless. Signed, DaBaby.
He's a big enough artist where he never should have been replying to any of this on his own.
You leave that for me and the rest of us down here.
And even not for me anymore.
I would be all right.
You just got to have it for certain things.
I don't know about now.
Again, I think when you personally jump on Twitter and you personally jump on these social media platforms and you double and triple down personally, your apology can't come from blah, blah, blah PR at that point.
You get what I'm saying?
They want to hear it from you now.
There's overlap in what we're saying.
Well, yeah, when you make the mistake.
I'm talking about not compounding the mistake.
So you say it just initially.
Oh, initially.
Yeah, I agree.
The baby is the baby.
We know what he gross and I'm with y'all.
It is about money at the end of the day.
He should have never responded to any of it.
I agree.
That's a PR thing from the rip.
Correct.
Yeah.
But today, we have this need to be, we're so reactionary.
Everybody is so quick to react and respond and have an opinion and talk and bash and
cancel there's never any time for shit to just chill and things go through the proper protocol
and for him the proper protocol was not for him to be on his phone saying i'm cut like that i'm
built like that y'all just not used to seeing this. But when you are the leader of your
brand and when you are the... You know what I mean?
Like people working for you still at the end
of the day.
You calling the shots. Man, he got big
headed. He got big headed.
He thought, like you
said, I'm bigger
than them. Y'all could try that
shit. It's not going to work on me.
Until you lose a couple million and that's what happened
like you said
when we first talked about it
you said he's probably
damn near getting
a million in festival stage
something along those lines.
No he lost a lot.
So when you
when them L's start adding up
it's some straightening
real quick.
And I don't think
that we're hearing about
whatever he is responding to
and I'm being speculative
speculative right now
I think he's responding to the and I'm being speculative right now,
I think he's responding to the unheard L.
Yeah, what you mean?
He ain't apologizing and all this. These festivals are dropping him.
The Ls that were to come.
It's the calls that are coming saying the future shit
that has been compromised.
It ain't the festivals.
Again, this little seven, eight million
that you might have lost,
it might have hurt.
That's why he was saying,
yo fam,
fuck y'all.
There's probably people
on his team
that rely on some of these things.
They might not be as rich as him.
You know what I'm saying?
His managers,
his...
I don't even think it's that.
Nah,
there was some shit.
I'm with y'all.
There's probably some internal people
like yo fam,
you fucking up my shit too.
No,
I think it's the...
How many festivals?
Five,
six?
Okay, cool. I can live with that. But nigga, we touring again now. my shit, too. No, I think it's the... How many festivals? Five, six? Okay, cool.
I can live with that.
But, nigga, we touring again now.
When the man fame mathing.
See, that's the thing.
Let's talk about festivals for a minute.
Let's talk about festivals for a minute.
You talking six to eight months to book it.
Yeah.
So, we seeing the damage now in August, late July.
But his team has been working on this behind the scenes since Thanksgiving.
Since COVID.
Yeah, since COVID.
Because you know COVID canceled everything.
This very small window where we even allowed back outside.
Matter of fact, you're right.
This might be in the works for two years.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
We know there's waiting lists to performance some of these things.
Every artist in the world
Is out there trying to get it done
So there's a
There's a pecking order
And he was at the top
So for that window
To be just taken away now
All that money to be taken away
Cool
When the math ain't math
Then somebody else
Has to step up
Now
We going into the winter
So now
All these winter shows
All these potential
Stadiums and arenas
That you could be performing at, those options are in.
Well, shit might close again.
You got to apologize, nigga.
Yeah.
You have to apologize.
I don't give a fuck what you think.
You got to go apologize, nigga.
Oh, yeah.
The winter's coming, and you're going to be indoors, and you're not going to be getting booked.
You got to go apologize.
And that day comes, man, no matter how powerful you are or big you are or famous you are.
no matter how big you are, big you are,
famous you are like when the math ain't math.
And this is what's going to happen.
This is,
this is,
this is what's going to come from that.
Uh,
all right.
That's all I got on,
on,
on the baby.
What else?
What else y'all want to talk about?
Anything in the world,
anything,
anything in the world.
Ha ha.
I got one for you
just walk with me here
this is gonna circle back to my point about
just stand up nigga
and what it means to be
that and what that
exudes when you either are or aren't
that right all for the
baby topic
shout out to Nori shout out to drink
champs there's been clips circulating of his
beanie seagull interview i watched it was great i watched it and it was great yeah it was great
yeah phenomenal and it did great the numbers did great what a great it was just a great interview
and i love hearing from beans beans one of my favorite, right? But Nori's getting better at getting
people to open up. I know people have always opened up
there, but they're opening up a lot more. I saw T-Pain
do it recently, too. But in this particular
interview,
Nori asked him about the whole fallout
for real.
And to my surprise, he answered
it for real. No, I've heard him answer it a couple
times. It's not the first time he's
answered it. But in this interview interview he gave a lot more details and information that i had no idea about like i
didn't know that he pulled a gun on leo cohen neither oh i didn't know that either in this
interview he talks about how leo called him to the office to say hey you don't have a radio record
you need a radio record i need something for the radio and uh and beans like fuck the radio i got the streets blah blah blah and leo's like i'm not trying to
get you to be like mc hammer or nothing i don't even know if you could spell hammer like but i
need a radio record yeah and then beans pulled a gun out on leo cohen granted so we move on to
the court beans is in court in philadelphia
they they call you you know your people was in court hove is in court is the story
and when it was time for them to set bail or for him to be released or whatever they asked
hove if he would be responsible if you've ever been through this then you know how this goes
if he would be responsible in the event that he did something stupid
or flip bail or just anything.
I think they said specifically,
would you be responsible for his whereabouts or something.
Or his actions while he's on tour.
You're responsible for all of it.
We don't even get caught in semantics.
When you put your name on that, you're responsible for it all.
If that person missed a day to work,
you're the phone call that's being placed.
That's how that goes.
And Hov said no.
And that's how that escalated.
No, I heard it before.
But now that we're old,
how does that sound?
Different take now.
How does that sound?
I'm a little older.
Younger me.
I'm younger me.
I'm going to go last.
Younger me.
I'm like, damn, that's fucked up.
You should always go last.
Younger me is like, damn, that's fucked up.
Younger me is like, damn, that's fucked up.
That's supposed to be your man's et cetera.
Stop right there.
Let's go back to that.
And that's what I mean about stand-up niggas.
Beans has always been a stand-up nigga.
His ignorance in that moment or his misunderstanding or not having the information back then,
his perception of things led him to speak foul about a nigga that has done nothing but show up for him and give him opportunity.
And he went on to speak about that too.
This is not my take on this yeah he didn't get it you can't get it and he said i didn't understand
the business i didn't understand any of that i thought this was fam and that move just made me
feel like it wasn't fam so it's fuck niggas now and he put out the diss tracks and he did interviews
and he spoke mad foul on hove back then and everybody was surprised taking it back
and we didn't hear much from hove about it we never really hear much from hove about it unless
he gets to rapping it's always just whatever you niggas think think it and that's what it is but
then you grow up and you hear this and it's like wait dog that's why you was mad
that's why you dragged that nigga's name? It's two ways to look at it, right?
Was he supposed to?
No.
Was he supposed?
Again, it's two ways.
Adult me is, what is the other way to look at this?
I also like, we talked about the lyric,
I'm trying to give Bean some game or something like that.
He said, Bean's eye is trying to change you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just give you some game to make the transition.
And he was mad about that,
because he's like, yo, he never talked to me personally.
But then he was like, I realized that that was the game.
Now, it's two ways to look at it.
Yeah, I'm not going to speak to you personally.
This is the game.
That bar was the game.
It's two ways to look at it.
You are looking at it from a street guy's perspective.
Yeah.
Which is very narrow.
They're all street niggas.
And I don't say that.
No, no, I'm not saying. I don't say that. No, no.
I'm not saying.
I don't say that.
No, no.
I'm not saying.
I'm just saying that perspective, though, is looking at it through a...
It's a code of ethics.
Don't have to be.
Don't have to be.
Listen, it's a code of ethics.
So it's like...
The street nigga that you talking about.
Yeah.
So it's like saying, yo, I know I ain't commit the crime, right?
But am I going to go to court and tell them you committed the crime?
No.
I'm going to take it to trial. Right? That's what you bred and when you start playing that game that is what you
those the rules that you got to follow the same way you just brought up the rules for little baby
when you sign up that's what you sign up for the baby i mean the baby my bad that's what you're
signing up for right so if you're signing up to play the street game and you playing the street life and this is your code of ethics you got to walk by that code so for jay-z to say no i'm not beans is right in
that moment to look at him like yo you're supposed to be my big brother i don't give a fuck if you
got to get on the stand and lie for me you're supposed to do that let me finish dog secondly
now we in business we're not on the street no more
We are running
Multi-million dollar corporations
And I've been telling you
To calm your dumb ass down
And you haven't calmed
Your dumb ass down
Maybe you not
Gotta go sit up for a minute
You shot a nigga broad daylight
You gotta chill out
And I can't control you
Because I've been
Trying to control you
So when a judge tells me
Am I gonna take
The L for you
Fucking up again
Nah I can't because you need
to learn this lesson. So I see both sides
I wasn't picking a side I was saying I see
both sides. I don't even think it's
I need you to learn this lesson
it's like self preservation at that point
I can't control you. Bruh I can't
yo no I'm not I don't know
you're a loose cannon in certain sense I don't know
what you will do and I
don't have a guarantee that you won't go out there and do it.
No, you shot a nigga broad daylight.
You don't want him to come to the stand.
You might go out and finish the job.
I can't have you on the streets under my name.
That's a possibility.
See, for me,
there's no other way to look at it
than now, today.
Now.
Like, as an adult, in hindsight.
Correct.
And I'm glad that Beans has reassessed
all of that.
And, yeah, matured enough to bump into bump
into all that wealth of knowledge he didn't have to get that he still didn't have to get it he could
still be running around mad with the resentment and the anger and have bad words and smoke
thank god he didn't sound like that no and i was just happy he told a story where he said one of
his old heads from philly called him and chastised him and was like,
don't you put out another fucking diss record over a nigga that pulled your family from the gutter.
You better not put out another fucking diss record.
And he said he wouldn't talk to his old head.
And his old head set him straight.
And he was like, he made me get perspective.
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes a nigga you respect on a different level got to snatch you up and be yo watch your fucking tongue this man has done x y and z for you and
your family you owe him more than a diss record and he said that's what kind of set him straight
but he's told the story before i agree with everything he's saying i agree with that but
again beans back then you could understand how he feels like that because, again, you could be an 8.
You could be a 10.
I could be a 5.
My level of understanding is going to be at a 5.
I haven't had the experiences that you had yet.
I haven't had the experiences that you have yet.
You grew.
So now you're at an 8.
You're at a 10.
I'm still at a 5.
So I can only see from a 5's perspective.
And that's what I meant when I said narrow.
I wasn't calling him narrow-minded i'm just saying your window the way you see things is very very very
small i know what you mean you just applied that to all street niggas no i was stopping you
that's not what i was doing but oh okay yeah that's never mind that that's never mind so i
think he's grown now as a man as a father father. Clearly. You know what I'm saying? As a businessman, whatever the case may be.
So now his level of consciousness or his level of thinking may be higher.
Yeah.
So now he sees the situation differently.
Yeah, but it's always fucked up for the person that's mature.
Yeah.
Like, fuck, we can go back and forth and all this shit is cool.
Y'all all right.
But for the nigga that was mature the whole time while you maybe didn't get it,
and the nigga that may come from where you come from
but has learned not to handle things this way
and because I love you,
I can't even respond to some of this asinine shit
that's going on.
Out of love.
Just go ahead, man.
Dog, you just got a story where the nigga hugged you
and said, yo, take that back in the house.
Yeah.
You could have argued with him or ignored him.
Went to Shorty Crib, came out of Shorty Crib.
They sweeping niggas up.
They put you on the gate because you just coming down the stairs.
Well, that's the back story.
You, get your little ass on the gate too.
The back story, I've told this story here before.
I went to see that.
The only reason I did that with that gun, I went to see this girl and I guess one of her old niggas had cornered me on a dead-end block and niggas
had to come save me up out of there so next time i'm going that didn't say stop seeing a girl see
what i mean yeah see what i mean that said yo put your life in further risk what the yeah so i went
bad with a gun but anyway when i asked him why because I did ask uh why he gave me
a very thorough explanation that I won't be able to sum up here but in some of it was you don't
need it and it ain't for you that's for people that need it and when you have it and you don't
need it you might bump into somebody that need it and know you got it that's one two I'll take
this shit from you right now like it's difference between having and using it right you just got it. That's one. Two, I'll take this shit from you right now.
Like,
it's the difference
between having
and using it.
Right.
You just got it.
Nigga,
go home.
You ain't about
to shoot nobody out here.
Absolutely right.
Light bulbs.
Ding dong.
But even if you was,
still go home.
Yeah.
If Sunday,
you could,
because it's in.
But he knew me.
No,
I'm just saying.
He knew me.
He knew the girl.
He knew why I was here.
You here for a girl,
fam.
Like, be where you are because of what you're there to do.
The end.
Simple as that.
Sometimes you need people to just simplify things for you.
But back to this being shit, I'm processing this with 41-year-old brain.
Round of applause for making it to 41.
Take that, whatever teacher that was.
Why do we all have a teacher story
yeah I'm just processing this
with adult brain and
for the guy that was mature and understood
and just moved a certain way
out of love and took the brunt of it all
and rep got dirtied
and
sometimes
but again he was on a higher level back then
he was just on a higher level back then yeah that is a lot i really enjoyed this interview
if you haven't seen it check out beanie beanie seagull on uh drink champs on drink champs um
there was another interesting hip-hop take and we can talk music oh the nas track list came out
we'll get to that in a second. Another interesting hip-hop take.
Jemele Hill is back to shake the table.
On the Undisputed shit?
Yep.
That's all.
Yeah.
On the Barbershop, whatever it's called.
Yeah, Undisputed.
No.
What is it called?
The Shop.
I'm talking about something from the Barbershop.
That's all I'm about to say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jemele Hill said that at some point, Biggie and Pac have to be moved
out of everyone's top five.
Shook the table.
I like that Jemele Hill shakes the table.
She always does it.
Meek Mill agreed.
Oh man.
Her argument
was
hey, more people came out
they doing more things
the shit is evolved
they can't be there forever
people have improved
and then Meek
jumped in shaking his head
like yeah niggas got better
and I was agreeing
like yeah no
I don't think they should stay
in the top five forever either
I agree with that
but who's better than Biggie?
Oh.
Drake.
I'm not saying I agree with that, but you can certainly –
Drake has to be in somebody's top five.
You can make that argument.
Wayne.
A couple of them can be in –
Drake has to be in everybody's top five.
I get it.
What do you know?
It's an important conversation, though.
I get it.
Well, let's have it. I'm it. What do you know? It's an important conversation, though. I get it. Well, let's have it.
I'm asking.
I mean, I've heard a lot of people, you know, back when quote unquote mumble rap was happening,
starting trap rap and all that shit was happening.
People were saying, oh, it's not hip hop.
And certain OGs, I think Chuck D might have been one of them.
Preem might have been one of them.
He's like, no, that shit is all hip hop.
If you start defining hip hop by what was happening in 1992
or 1998,
it dies. Yeah, I agree.
Or, nigga, the shit that niggas was
doing in the 90s, somebody from 79
or 81 could say that's not hip-hop.
I've said this a lot. During that
era that you're speaking about, Parks, I said
we became our
parents. Like, for me,
I was N.W.A., Dre, Snoop, that right there.
My pops hated that shit.
It was like, yo, turn this noise off.
What the fuck are they talking about?
Right.
What are they doing to my records?
That was my dad.
My pops is, yo, you can't tell him nothing about KRS-One.
He think that is the greatest thing since Slice Break.
And we've become them.
When the next generation
start to come in
with their hip hop,
we sitting there
disrespecting it.
We're gatekeeping.
That shit.
I mean,
hip hop is going to continue
to grow and evolve.
Run DMC,
that shit was noise.
And I ain't going to lie,
prior to me doing this podcast,
all these little niggas was noise.
Yeah, because we fall in love with what we like.
I don't want to hear that shit.
Prior to this podcast, yeah, them niggas was noise.
What a lot of people do, they fall in love with their error.
Right.
You know, whatever that important error to them is,
and then they block out everything before it and everything after it.
This is hip-hop.
Yes.
It's what you know.
Whatever came out when you were 14 to 20.
Yeah, and you're defining years, so to speak.
That's hip-hop to you.
I'm still going to throw it back to my original question that I was left with.
Who's in a five?
Who's better than Biggie?
Nobody to me.
Well, Hov, you can certainly make that up.
But he's there already.
Yeah, he's there already yeah he's there already
I'm just sticking
with the argument of
hey mad new people
have come out
new things have been birthed
so the same old people
can't stay there
I agree with it
uh huh
you can make an argument
but who's better
I can see why
someone might say Kendrick
someone might say Drake
someone might say Wayans
you know
you have now run out of names
again but you can talk
on five jokes that's three out of five well Again, but you can talk on five jokes.
That's three out of five.
Well, no, because, see, and that's the point I'm making.
Yes, you're right.
That's three out of five.
But an argument could be made even for the short list of names that are there
to say they're not there.
There are no definitive answers.
Of course not.
It's all opinion, subjective.
Yeah, it's all opinion.
For a top five.
Yeah, but on a top five,
the people that are normally
in the top five
are there because they...
Yeah, but see, even...
It's hard to...
You gotta beat the champ.
That kind of bothers me too, Joe.
You gotta beat the champ.
It's hard to take
I'm gonna tell you
why that bothers me.
Oh, man.
Because I'll see a lot of people
who weren't even born
when Big and Pac were out
have them in their top.
Not saying they couldn't have went back and listened to these discographies and become fans of them.
They got ears.
I'm joking.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
But this is not what you grew up on.
There are certain names that I've seen people say and people that I know.
This ain't even who you listen to.
You're saying what you think is the right answer.
There's certain shit that's just,
you gotta say big.
You have to say Pac.
You have to say this.
You do this to me a lot,
and I try to correct you on it,
so I'll try it again.
What?
I'm never talking to or about
the people that don't know
nothing about him.
But, Joe.
You always include them.
I'm just saying in general.
Fuck them niggas. I'm speaking in general. fuck them niggas i'm speaking to them niggas i'm speaking in general i'm not loaning my brain to those people
i would never be talking to the people that wasn't born but you you wasn't there you don't know that
they can think what they want again i'm having an educated even for the people that know even that
though even that though you're asking for jamel's comment who's better yo
it's niggas that's 25 whatever that was not around for that era so yeah they got a valid
opinion on hip-hop i'm never that they do that's why i don't talk to them with us i'm not talking
to them and that's what i just said people where you grew up i laugh that's what you said at a 23
yo and i'm not mad at them don't take this as being angry at anything
disrespectful or nothing
yeah
I love all y'all
but this applies to everybody
we only have the time
that we was here
like
right
we only have
like
I was born in 80
I watched the 70s docs
I'm like oh they was wild
like
oh fuck
in the 60s
I go back and try to see
how my parents was moving
like I'm
weird like that
the niggas
that was born in 93 95 nah they wasn't there for a hundred miles and running it wasn't there for
ill-mannered they didn't get to live i don't hold it against them but i wouldn't have a conversation
with them like somebody that wasn't born without it talk about her statement would make sense though
her statement would prove true because there's a lot of people a lot of time has passed example i'll use myself i'm not putting krs or rakim in my top now there's people that was born
a couple years before me will say i'm crazy for that it's not who i grew up on the same thing goes
forward with these young niggas they don't care about the bigs in the pox because this is not who
they grew up on that's all i'm saying you're right and i'm saying that their opinion don't matter in a greatest of all time
conversation and why does yours because i have more time but the people before you have more
time and will say yo i don't have which is what i'm talking about those are the people that should
have the conversation that's all i would not be talking to the 24 25 26 year old about the greatest
of all time because their time is short flex was arguing with um flex was arguing with uh gilly i
think yeah right i don't know flex was arguing with gillian he said basically now oh yeah it
was all drake has surpassed jay as number one on that list he has a valid argument he has a very
valid whether we agree with i don't i will never agree with it or disagree. I would never agree with it.
I'm just saying,
whether we agree or disagree,
he has a valid argument.
Drake's body of work,
Drake's longevity,
Drake's consistency
has now put him
in a top five conversation.
I don't give a fuck
how you feel.
I was having an argument
in my backyard.
In all time.
One Saturday night.
He's in the top five
of people that made
music conversation.
So, again, as far as the hip-hop goals, now Drake gets to-
No, he's not.
What are you talking?
He's been on a fucking crazy run for 12 straight years.
I tried to ignore it.
I tried to ignore it.
And that is what I mean.
I tried to ignore it.
And that is what I mean.
And that is what I mean.
This is why I don't go to this guy's backyard.
Parks, what side did you take in that?
I think that you could make an argument that Drake is prolific as some of these other artists that we have had.
I could make an argument that that black curtain is white.
But I mean, what does that mean?
Parks, of all time?
Do you see how much, do you see the run?
You just not appreciating it because you're in the moment.
It's fine.
No, that's not true.
You know I appreciate the run.
That's not true.
You can name four or five artists.
See, this is what happens is when people get to a certain age,
they're not trying to hear a certain shit.
No, that's not true.
I'm not a closed-minded guy.
They're not trying to hear it.
That's fine.
That's what I said.
I'm going to stand on this opinion.
To a kid that's 18 years old?
And that's it.
To a kid that's 18 years old, Drake is Michael Jackson.
It is a lot of that.
It is a lot of that. You're not 18 that you're not 18 okay yeah you just did what i did what's up with you you said
you but you are doing what i'm saying you do when you get to a certain age you're not trying to hear
that shit but if you look at the numbers you look at listen to the music you look at the run his
fucking run is crazy like michael jackson's was he doesn't have a 40 year run i know what park
i'm not arguing what park is saying, by the way.
I'm not disagreeing what he's saying.
He's right.
He can't say it.
Somebody could argue it.
Yeah, I'm saying you can't say it.
Why?
Because you're too musically inclined and knowledgeable to say some shit like that.
You're a well-rounded music guy.
All right, let's go through it.
The Beatles.
Dre got more slaps than the Beatles.
The line worked.
I don't care.
He reconditioned everybody. So we're getting the Beatles out of here. He can't get Mike out of here. He can't get Prince out the Beatles. The line worked. I don't care. He reconditioned everybody.
So we're getting the Beatles out of here.
He can't get Mike out of here.
He can't get Prince out of here.
That's two.
Can't get Whitney Houston out of here.
That's three.
Stevie can't move.
Four.
Stevie doesn't budge.
Now, if you want to tell me that Drake is better than Marvin Gaye,
okay, I'll clap for you.
Luther?
I'm not saying that.
Hey, I'll clap for that, too.
But you're going to get resistance. I'm not saying... I'll clap for that too, but you're going to get resistance.
I'm not talking about
whose music I enjoy better.
I'm just saying
who has had
the greatest,
the greatest.
Who has had the most
fucking wins for...
Oh, he's talking about
his accolades.
Oh, okay.
And the music is good.
No, but you can't count numbers.
He's just talking about stats.
I'm talking about runs.
Yeah, numbers.
His run is as historic
as some of these other people.
Yeah, he's talking about numbers.
It's insane.
Can't argue numbers. I know. It's not just. Yeah, he's talking numbers. It's insane. Can't argue numbers.
I know.
It's not just numbers because we like his music, too.
It's not like he's making trash.
No, it's not like he's manufactured numbers.
Yeah, but what you're saying to define.
No, but see, again, when you bring in numbers, when the 70s, music may not have been accessible
like today.
That's why I don't have the talk.
It wasn't no streaming.
It wasn't no internet.
Motherfuckers in Obolachee, Alabama, some fucking where, they had transistor radios.
So you can't count numbers back then.
No, I'm with you.
Drake may not make somebody ever feel how Marvin Gaye made them feel.
Marvin Gaye might not make people feel the way that Drake made them feel.
That's a different thing.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Sam Cooke had to make them feel like that amidst segregation.
I understand the difference in eras and the...
I'm not saying that you don't.
All I'm saying is, for the other
artists that didn't have the streaming
and the streaming farms and Spotify's
and all of this stuff, they just had to deal with
whatever was going on in their era
and the people that
were impactful had to face
different things in a different era. So, I'm with you.
I'm with you on your Drake thing because Drake's
numbers today, you can't argue with it. So I'm with you. I'm with you on your Drake thing because Drake's numbers today,
you can't argue with it.
The facts are the facts.
He's top five rapper.
When you start getting into all time,
you just have to factor in
a lot more than accolades and numbers.
That's all.
But I'm not going to knock anybody
for arguing Drake.
I'm a Drake stan.
What do you want me to do?
No, Drake, top five rapper.
Guaranteed.
Drake will never replace Prince to me.
Ever.
Mike.
Mike.
Stevie.
That's three. Them three just ain't never going to budge at the top. Mike. Stevie. That's three.
Them three just ain't never going to budge at the top.
And then you can argue if you want.
Marvin is high for me.
Of course.
Bro, that's a lot of people.
Whitney's high for me because it's the greatest voice that has existed in my lifetime.
Of course.
I don't need numbers on her.
Right?
That's what I mean.
Like, just that voice.
Yeah.
That's all I need. Who else is on that list? There's some people on that list. Right? This is what I mean. Like, just that voice. Yeah. That's all I need.
Luther Vandross.
Who else is on that list?
There's some people on that list.
There's some people on that list.
The Beatles are there.
I don't count Elvis.
If you want to put Drake and Elvis and spot him down, I don't count Elvis, but shit.
Fuck Elvis.
I don't care about him.
Yeah.
Who else you want to get out of here?
I'm down.
Who else?
Who else?
Come on.
Who else did some fuckery?
Come on. Let's move on.
What else we got?
What else we got?
Oh, so y'all didn't...
All right, we unpacked that one.
I don't think it's but so many people better than Biggie,
and I think that the list is going to be short.
I think that Biggie and Ho over the two greatest rappers of all time,
Pac, also being in that conversation.
If y'all want to push Pac back on the list,
I won't fight with you about it.
No, no, no, no, no.
You can push Big back before you push Pac back.
And we won't get into that lifelong argument here.
All right, Nas, another GOAT, another great, another legend,
another one in a lot of people's top five of all time.
His track list is out.
Let me just read the features like Ice read them to me.
Oh, my God, you didn't tell me that was the name of the EPMD track.
EPMD 2.
Featuring Eminem and EPMD, A Boogie and YG,
Lauryn Hill, Charlie Wilson, Blast.
Round of applause for Blast.
That's dope, man.
Hit Boy.
And this is all executive produced by Nas and Hit Boy.
I'll give you some of the names because I'm getting excited off the track list,
which I'm totally against.
I hate doing that, but this is what I'm doing.
Yeah, no, I'm there.
There's some records on here that got me like, ah.
The pressure.
He's smoking this intro.
And track two?
Yeah.
Track two says Death Row East.
No phony love with fucking Charlie?
Oh, you went all the way down there.
I'm sorry.
I jumped out to me.
Track three is 40 side.
To bad side.
EPMD 2, Rare, YKTV.
You know the vibes.
Oh, man.
You know the vibes.
Yo, you know what's funny?
Store run.
Your mom said the floor mat that says that.
And she was like, yo, what does this mean?
Oh, my God.
Well, go ahead. That's pretty funny. This, what does this mean? Oh, my God. But go ahead.
That's pretty funny.
This track looks great.
It does.
It looks incredible.
He's coming off an incredible album.
I can't wait to hear this.
I know people are excited about the Kanye album that's supposed to drop this Friday.
But let me be the first to tell you, or maybe not.
That's not dropping on Friday.
Does anybody think that that's still happening on Friday?
Well, he's supposed to be doing another one of them shits, too.
I know.
He's supposed to be alive.
The nigga was putting on a spike jacket for three hours the other day.
And he's getting a 24-hour Cam Soda accompaniment, apparently.
It was offered.
I don't think that Kanye's album is dropping Friday.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it is.
Yeah, I don't know.
The Weeknd has got something coming on Friday.
I'm excited about that.
An album or a single that don't ask me why
single
I thought you had
a single dropping
well
Wednesday
if I'm not mistaken
I thought it was Friday
and today is Wednesday
I believe it
I'll be wrong
either way
I'm excited about
the knowledge album
no music
is there anything else
I need to be excited
about dropping on Friday
I'll do a single
you're right
Friday
I'm always right
you just keep talking
when I'm right
you ain't always right how many times I'm always right. You just keep talking when I'm right. You ain't always
right. How many times I don't be right?
You've been wrong a couple times.
Can we move on? We're not going to do that.
You've been wrong. Come on. Let's move on. What do y'all
want to talk about? Cowboys?
No.
No.
No.
I don't want to talk.
No. No. I said no.
Why y'all don't know what no means?
Hello.
Oh, my bad.
Hello.
So y'all know.
No, K-N-O-W.
What we got?
Also in that same shop interview, Meek was talking about getting his ass
bust in the studio by Dirk and Lil Baby.
Oh, yeah.
He said they gave him writer's block or something, right?
No, they broke him out of writer's block.
Out of writer's block.
Okay.
That one was really interesting to me.
Always will be, right?
He was talking about the change in his lifestyle.
Like he had a baby.
He was in the house, kid crying.
You're looking at fucking dirty pampers and you're just not around that energy.
And then you go get around the young boys that's outside, outside.
And they getting to it.
They getting to it. They busting your ass in there.
That was real shitty shit in that moment.
And then he went on to say, Khaled,
no, I'm used to doing nine songs
a day. And that's when my brain stopped
in a bit.
Like, wait a second.
And I believe him. I do believe him.
Or he might have been exaggerating
saying nine but if he was exaggerating it was up from six five yeah five five so i'm taking
him at his word put it to five yeah five fam you do five songs a day stop and just process that i
know a lot of people are not musicians so you really don't know what the fuck that means.
Five songs a day.
Let's get back to his number.
Nine songs a day is what you have to do today
to keep up with the demand?
Yeah.
And be an artist of that magnitude?
Oh.
And this is microwave junkies.
Today?
I heard they are studio junkies.
Man, if I'm going to get,
not me,
but you go get in the studio
with Baby and Dirk,
two little young niggas
that's outside and on fire
and they just get to cracking
your muffin with heat.
Now you got to keep up with that.
Like you have to deal
with a different beast today.
Meek might be the lyrical miracle nigga
of today one of them.
Some people I'm sure
look at him like that. Well, when he get next to, well, the baby's lyrical too nigga of today, one of them. Some people, I'm sure, look at him like that.
Well, when he get next to, well, the baby's lyrical, too.
I see what you mean, though.
But, yeah, like, that was a learning thing.
Learned his ass a good one in there.
Yeah.
My old comp.
I think having other MCs around, period, though, whether they're younger or not.
I think.
You were much more prolific as far as output when you were working with Slaughterhouse
than you were with, like, solo records. You would work on one record for as output when you were working with Slaughterhouse than you were with solo records.
You would work on one record for 12 hours when you did solo records.
When you were with Slaughterhouse, you might do three, four, five verses a day.
But then it's just a verse.
True.
But then you're only responsible for a verse.
But that's why.
If he's in the studio with Baby and Dirk, it sounds like he was probably only responsible for a verse, too.
Yeah, but that's just the thing.
That's why I probably, no, no probably probably about it that's why i feel my catalog
more than i do my slaughterhouse catalog i know the time energy effort feeling pain heartache
that went into all of that shit versus having to rhyme with just three spectacular mcs about
whatever like a lot of that shit i hate my performance. I ain't even mad at the niggas
that say Joe was whack.
What the fuck was I doing?
I wasn't doing what Joe wanted to do
at all times.
What Joe wanted to do is-
You can hear that a lot.
Yeah, you can hear it.
I can hear it.
Like, you know what Joe want to do.
That's playing his day on a track.
Knowing you know what you-
Yeah, yeah.
When I played that champion's verse
from Joel from the last part,
you'd know I was in the studio.
You'd know I was there.
You could just tell, right?
Damn, I had a point that I was getting to.
I don't mean it.
You're talking about the output of recording.
Oh, just about mass manufacturing versus the other day I was thinking
about this old spot in Jersey City.
It was Akbar's.
Akbar's was in the hood.
I used to go there because they had the best burger in the hood but they handmade the burger anytime you bought
that burger it would you could taste that the handmade-ness the love in it versus going to
mcdonald's or just somewhere else now some people when you taste the McDonald's burger
that could be your favorite
burger in the world
you might not have
the same appreciation
for that Akbar burger
for that homemade
it's just different
it's different
everything ain't for everybody
uh
yo think
think about that though
Meek
is young
he felt like the old head
in that bitch
he is the old head yeah he is the old head in that bitch. He is the old head.
Yeah.
You see what I'm saying?
He is the old head, though.
I know.
Because when you were 22, you looked at a 32 or four,
however old he is.
He 34 years old now, bro.
You are an old head.
That's crazy.
And he gets busy.
Yeah.
But to sit in there with them little niggas and say,
them little niggas was going, I can only imagine what, yeah.
Yo, before we leave this topic,
Lonzo Ball got traded to the Chicago Bulls
and Lil Durk, who Ice tells me
is in charge of handing out nicknames,
gave him the name Chance.
Lonzo Ball is the Chance.
There's two Chances in Chicago.
Did anybody let Durk know
that there is a The Chance already? Nah, that's just... From Chicago. Did anybody let Dirk know that there is a The Chance already from Chicago?
That's just Chance.
His name is Chance, not Dutch.
But he's The Chance.
No, he's not The Chance.
Lonzo is The Chance.
Well, no, he can't be.
What Dirk say, Jeremy?
Chance can't be The Chance now because you've named another Chance.
I bet you Chance won't speak up.
I bet you that fucking much.
Dirk, you my man.
Yo, Dirk, you are my man.
Man's man's, right? Let me be the
first to tell you.
Lonzo Ball's not the chance, man.
Oh, shit.
Dirk, Dirk, Dirk.
He's not the chance. He's Lonzo.
No, he the chance now.
He's Lonzo Ball. The second best ball. He's the second Chance. He's Lonzo. No, he the Chance now. He's Lonzo Ball.
When Devo come around and say something.
The second best ball.
He's the second best ball is what he is.
I don't know about that either.
He's balling.
Nah.
Yo, this nigga just want to argue about it.
All he want to do is pick fish.
Are you right?
How you figure?
It's not me that figures. Go ahead. Everyone figures argue about it. All he want to do is pick fish. Are you right? How you figure? It's not me that figures.
Go ahead.
Everyone figures this about you.
You figure this one.
Yo, this is funny.
Go ahead, man.
Fair.
Fair.
You just got to let that one go, yo.
No, he think I made that up.
No, no, no.
No.
Just leave that one alone.
Listen.
On this podcast,
and we're going to move on,
but we said Dirk's name,
so now my brain is just on,
and we're here now. I wanted to start this segment right about things that deserve more applause i think there's mad things that happen in hip-hop that are either overlooked or we are numb to
desensitized to or because it's such a fast-moving fast-paced culture
we don't really spend enough time with it so because i'm home alone when the dock is not on
my brain is thinking about some of this stuff i'll give you the first one for example
cardi b started in the strip club that's pretty big right cool a lot of women got their start
there i don't think that's the part that deserves more applause cardi b then landed on love and hip-hop and was the star of love and hip-hop even
though they didn't run plays for her the public may not know that but i do they didn't run plays
or have scenes for her she just stole the show and at the height of stealing the show in front of the largest audience that she ever had,
off mad success
and off,
I'm sure,
what included a pay raise,
she left.
Made an album.
Stopped, though.
Because in hindsight,
we know what she did next.
But she didn't know
she was going to do that.
Just to bet on yourself
to do that.
She stopped.
To leave the biggest audience you ever had to say nah one one season one legal bag maybe one and a half they might have begged her to come back and she popped in three episodes but she
left and it worked and we gloss over it we We glossed over that tough decision
that I'm sure she had to make.
I'm sure she had to explain that
to her family members,
Hennessy, her sister.
I don't think there was an offset
around at the time.
This is her on her own
and she did that.
Cool.
Put that to the side.
Know what my next one was
that deserved more applause
that everybody just glossed right over?
What'd you do last night?
You slept at home in bed with your girl?
You?
Home in bed with your girl?
You live with your girl,
slept at home in bed?
This nigga Dirk was home in bed with your girl.
I've been home in bed with my girl.
It's a real comforting feeling.
Of course.
Your girl's your girl
because you're allowed to be vulnerable around her.
Put your guard down, right?
Little spoon. He was home in bed with his girl and people broke in. your girl's your girl because you're allowed to be vulnerable around her put your guard down right little spoon
he was home in bed
with his girl
and people broke in
and he grabbed a gun
and gave his girl one
and shot them out the house
they were body and clod on him
and the news cycle
just continued
think about it
you're absolutely right
think about it
just think about it
just stop
that's great I didn't hear about that stop whatever you're doing and just think about it just think about it just stop stop whatever
you're doing
and just think about if that
happened to you I play that scene a lot
when I'm in the shower because that's when I feel most vulnerable
I feel like damn somebody
busts in here right now
look at me
how I clean my feet is so awkward
what you do awkward in the shower?
It's got to be something, right?
The feet, definitely.
When I get to clean them, there's no cool way to clean your feet.
Damn.
Complete dummy.
Yo, you want to talk about somebody having to drop on you?
If I'm cleaning my feet, yo, I'm at your mercy, dog.
You got it.
So I think about that a lot.
Fam, he went through that.
And then can... What? You can't even laugh. What the fuck. Fam, he went through that. And then can...
What?
You can't even laugh.
What the fuck?
Bitch, my tooth hurt.
And you're a podcaster with bad teeth.
This nigga can't talk.
Got halitosis.
What?
Yo, this nigga's talking about cleaning his feet.
No, but he right, though.
Like, yo, if somebody running on you while you cleaning your feet, you're done.
I be home. There's no Like, yo, if somebody running on you while you cleaning your feet, you're done. I be home.
There's no normal, like, you fucked.
I be home, and I keep red flag marks of the awkward shit that happened when I'm in the house,
and then I wonder if it happens to other men.
Sometimes I get out the shower.
Everything is related to the shower.
I get out the shower, dry off, go to the boxer brief draw, go put them on.
Sometimes you're in a rush and the leg don't go on.
The one leg don't go.
It's still a little sticky from the shower and shit.
No, you know you got one leg on.
You got to put the other one.
You get stuck in a little crap.
You get the hopsies.
You got to start jumping rope.
You do the hopsies.
Then you fall on the floor.
You're like, ah, stupid.
Ah.
I hit everything.
Only Joe will fall
and then I'm like
I don't fall
wait does that
does that happen
to other men
no you don't fall
I don't fall
but you hop around
but that don't feel good
no you feel like a dodo
well where's the
men's support group
to talk about
some of the positions
you just feel like a dodo
in like
to hop around
we have no
we have no safe space
let alone a support group.
Word.
Not just that.
We too cool to talk about you doing some dumb shit like that.
No, only my dumb ass is running around telling all the doofy shit.
Everybody else is just cool as cool as can be.
Yeah, that's funny.
Yeah, I can't believe that we just glossed over that as a culture.
If I did that, that would be my Al Bundy seven touchdowns at Polk High School game.
You would never hit an end to that.
Yeah.
You know why you don't hear about it with that?
No.
No, I don't.
You mean from him.
I'm blown away.
That's the whole point of this.
Why you're not hearing about it from him?
With the Dirk shit.
Yeah.
Because that's what they just live.
Oh, no.
He put it in a song.
Wait, wait, wait.
See, this is where...
I'm going to fuck Ice up, man.
Get out.
What?
Hey,
I played a little snippet
of a Dirk song
where he talked about it.
Yeah.
It was about four bars.
The hardest four bars
I ever heard in my life.
Oh, my God. Did he kill those four bars.
But you got to make it out that situation to have those four bars.
Is that an exchange?
Is that a transaction that most rappers are willing to make?
I say no.
No.
Hell no.
I say no.
He not a rapper first.
And that's the thing.
He reminds you on records, I'm a street nigga.
Is she a girlfriend?
What is she?
Fuck him. No, no, on records I'm a street nigga is she a girlfriend from what is she fuck him
no no no
I'm impressed by her
listen listen
why y'all tell me about him
she's so nice
that he is like
not here
I'm about to tell you
I'm gonna tell you
my stupid ass girls
I'm dead man
you gonna bust back
or nah
dog I'm about to tell you
for real
just like
like Dirk says
in his records
I'm a street nigga and I'm with whatever come with that.
I'm pretty sure for her to get that close to him, she's prepped.
Yes.
This is the life.
We sleep right here.
This thing is right here.
This is where it's at.
Mine is on my nightstand.
I know that.
I know many.
I know.
Yo, all them NBA niggas I'm sure is 90% from the free throw line in practice.
And we can all prep.
Y'all telling me about the prep?
Nah.
Cool that he prepped her.
See, and that's what I mean about.
It's different.
It's different.
So the fuck what that he prepped her?
She did it.
It was time for action.
Nigga, game time.
We prep them all the time before escape room.
Hey, they're going to extort the rules. We're going to start looking around. We're going to do this. We prep them all the time before escape room. Hey, they're going to extort the rules.
We're going to start looking around.
We're going to do this.
We prep them all the time and see them go wrong.
I don't care that he prepped her.
It worked.
And then everybody went back to work.
It's impressive.
It's impressive.
I get it.
I get it.
I didn't even pick up that one until you said it.
If nobody is going to give Dirk and Cardi a round of extra applause.
And Dirk's girl.
And her.
And India.
It's going to be Joe.
Nah, nah.
Cardi.
I think Cardi needs way more dozens of flowers.
My nigga, to do what she's, like, she's damn near a household name, dog.
My mother knows Cardi B. Ain't no damn near.'s, like, she's damn near a household name, dog. My mother knows
Cardi B.
Ain't no damn near.
So, yo,
that's amazing, my nigga.
And congratulations to her.
And people don't be
really giving her
the credit that she deserves.
And she's the first
to dance all night
stripping her suit.
You heard what she said, bro.
Again,
so to go from that
to mega stardom
is huge.
And we don't really
be giving her the props
that she deserves.
A-list.
Cardi gonna forever
get props from me.
Her little stripper clip
was energetic.
Like, they was the only girls in the strip club like that was really trying to dance and drip.
I was like, yeah, move.
You too hyper, ma.
She could always get credit from me.
Listen, you saying, Cardi, I'm not off?
Okay, let's try it like this.
If I'm in bed, let's try it a different way if I'm in bed watching
dateline tap my girl I look at this nigga and the little alarms you're going
ding ding I ain't expecting nobody and my girls get up and grab the gun after
wherever it is and run to the stairs and shoot them niggas out the house? How could I ever leave her?
Word.
No, that's it.
No, that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
But again, being with...
Fam, she can cheat.
Dog, they live a different life.
She can do whatever
she wants to do.
I might go out
and start some more trouble.
Knowing I got a rod over me.
Oh, my God.
Fuck it.
I would load her up like salt.
That was that movie?
Remember Puff said,
what Puff said?
Who was salt?
Salt.
It was salt, right?
Angelina Jolie.
Hey, you're fucking right.
She been in 90 of them.
Salt 90.
Remember Puff said,
yo,
your girl roll harder
than your niggas.
Like, literally.
That's crazy.
I mean,
they live a different type of life though, dog. Niggas is dying around them niggas, like literally. That's crazy. I mean, they live a different type of life though, dog.
Niggas is dying around them niggas every single day.
She gotta be prepped for that.
It ain't just about prep.
She's prepped for that.
These niggas is really living that shit, dog.
They are really in that.
She probably been in the gun range a zillion times.
And that would be a credit to her.
See, the gig is the gig.
If that's the gig, you devote yourself to it.
He could be the most street nigga in the world.
It's easy for her to say, all right, bae,
I'll be getting my lashes done over here.
I got a Manny Petty appointment.
I'll be at the spa.
I'll be with my girls.
I'll be over here.
Not living the life they live, though.
Not living the life they live.
I'm hitting the damn ground.
Yeah, yeah.
Need another one just because they still here, nigga.
Like, we lost so many motherfuckers over the last...
No, no, no, no, no.
Not still here.
Went to the studio the next day or something.
Hey, if it happened to me...
I don't take you out.
It's a regular day.
You ain't coming out?
How was your week?
Got some niggas off.
I wouldn't go to the studio.
These niggas...

He lit an incense.

All right.
Got to get more guns.
Call Esmeralda to clean up the shit house.
Wait.

I shouldn't joke
I apologize

when the news cycle
goes the other way
and I just see people
just continue about the day.
Like,
you got it.
Credit where credit's due.
I like it.
You got another one?
It's hard to top that, man.
We can think on it.
What do you want

Help him grow two inches
Huh?

Listen

You and your school

After you finish
Ish, I booked the appointment
With the little stretch instructor later

Never mind, man.
I told him he was going to book an appointment.
Fam, what's wrong?
You niggas is mad silly, dog.

So Big Sean said to it.
No, no, you said we got to address.
All right, Ice, tell me what's the funny.
All right, let's do it.
Well, not you.
Ice, tell me what's funny.
Why not me?
Because him and Corby are kiki-ing like schoolgirls.
I want to know if they get the joke.
I get the joke.
I get the joke.
All right, tell me what the joke is.
As you said, you just can't.
Bitch, Sean's chiropractor helped you grow two inches.
If you tell me about the stretch instructor lady, right?
Hey, we both dealing with people.
But if you tell me about the stretch instructor lady,
and she's fine and then I hit her up,
you can't
say, yo,
my man is going to hit you up
because that's passive aid.
What?
And y'all laughed at that.
The two of y'all laughed at that
Like that was kiki funny
Fam
I'm at Joe's house
I've been getting stretched out
I've been having mad problems
With my neck
Yo this nigga's a kid
I'm not laughing
I'm listening to you
I'm dead ass
I'm not laughing
You already had a fucking
Eddie Murphy moment in here
You were pouring me
Like it was funny
I'm lost at what's funny
I don't understand
Wait
Stop reprimanding us I'm not Dog what's funny. I don't understand. Wait. Yeah, stop reprimanding us.
I'm not.
Dog.
Joe says, yo, I hit the stretch lady up.
I said, I know.
I told her you was going to hit her.
You asked me to see if she does in-home visits.
You told me to call her and ask her.
I did.
What's the joke?
I'm totally lost.
Y'all niggas is real hard, dog.
That's offensive.
You can't offend people right now.
Yo, what did Big Sean do, man?
What?
He's had enough of us.
Come on, man.
That's y'all, man.
I don't want y'all talking about Big Sean.
I won't tell him about my stretch appointment again.
Is this a joke? I won't tell him about my stretch appointment again. Is this a joke?
I don't understand the joke.
All right, come on, Big Sean.
If I got it, I would laugh.
All right, come on.
Here's a new joke.
Big Sean said he grew two inches, just like Joe fucking said a few weeks ago, and y'all
all laughed at me.
How about that?
Now what y'all want to do?
Joe, you didn't call him.
Joe.
I'm not calling Big Sean if he got two inches taller.
Why?
I think that's compelling content.
All right.
Y'all want to play.
OK.
Let's see what's going on today.
Straight spine, that's how.
He definitely stole your shit.
He stole your shit he stole your shit
Joe I ain't gonna
yeah look
Big Sean says
how the fuck did I grow
two inches
chiropractor for a year
straight twice a week
that's how
straight spine
that's how
is Big Sean
listening to me
he kinda stole your shit
I ain't gonna
cause Joe been saying
forever that
his spine is curved
and that's why he's not.
How tall is he supposed to be?
6'4".
Let him tell us.
If I get 6'2".
No, 6'3".
If I get 6'3", then you really going to be telling the stretch lady.
Yo, he coming next week, too.
Yo, my man.
Yo, my man said he want to come next month. Nigga, she know.
I told her.
He scared us out of laughing.
We can't even laugh.
What else we got?
Yo, come on. What y'all think?
Yo, laugh me out the room. What do y'all think about
Big Sean? I don't think he grew two inches, man.
He still looks short to me.
Nigga Afro trying to be tall.
And why is that news?
It's funny because you keep saying that you really 6'3".
Yeah, that's why it's funny.
That's the only reason why.
You go from 5'9 to 6'3"?
Because of the chiropractor?
I'm not 5'9".
I'm not 5'9".
And if I was 5'9", then you would look real nuts letting the stretch lady know that your 5'9 And if I was 5'9 Then you would look real nut
Letting the stretch lady know
That your 5'9 man
Is coming through
Oh now I get what you said
That's what I did
You getting late and rusty man
That's what I did
Now that's the joke
I know but I didn't get the joke
Cause it didn't make no sense
Oh my god you getting old
Is that what I am
My bad I'm old Yo if you told her Your 5'9 dude was coming I know, but I didn't get the joke because it didn't make no sense. Oh, my God. You're getting old. Is that what I am?
I'm fine.
My bad.
I'm old. Yo, if you told her your 5'9 dude was coming, what's my name?
You gave me some whack name, too, right?
Let me hear your profile.
Come on.
Moving on.
Y'all don't care about Big Sean.
New York City will require vaccines for entry to restaurants and gyms.
Joke's on them.
The gym?
I'm not going to the gym.
That's never happening, but...
Man, I'm never going outside again
after this shit, bro.
Uber eats everything.
I'm not going to the restaurant.
I'm not going to the gym.
I'm going to the restaurant.
I'm not going nowhere.
Fuck y'all.
Y'all scared me straight.
I'm cool.
Listen how stupid we are.
Hey, I'm too scared
to go outside. I'm going to have this dirty
stranger nigga from outside
go get it and bring it to me.
Call for my straw.
Put extra hands on it. Call for my straw.
Hey, spit on his hands.
Bring me my food.
Put the little tape on the paper bag.
How come I keep telling them dudes
to leave it at the door and they keep ringing the bell? Because your's got to be safer. How come I keep telling them dudes to leave it at the door
and they keep ringing the bell?
Because your name is on your profile.
But why are you ringing the bell?
I just told you why.
No, these be dudes that don't know
nothing about Pump It Up,
Hoard Down, Joe, Jose,
Budon, Budden.
They just come.
They standing there waiting
to give me the burger.
And then I got to open the door
and be the big cat nigga
no you tipped through the app
you don't get no cash
yeah I already left the tip
the tip was already in there
yeah I said leave it
at the door nigga
I've had some
Uber drivers
and delivery drivers
be like
expecting extra tip
after I already tipped
in the app
yeah okay
that's not happening
and I tip well
so I'll be like huh
I don't like that
leave it at the door shit
because I went to sleep
oh wait
oh I didn't know we was gonna have fun door shit because I went to sleep. Oh, wait.
Oh, I didn't know we was going to have fun.
Y'all getting into some of my favorite topics.
This is one of my favorite topics.
When I'm in the hotel and I order breakfast or room service.
Oh, they bring it up?
And they bring it up and stare at me, stare at me as I write on the blank line.
And I take the time.
I take 30 minutes to see if gratuity was included. Bring out the calculator.
Yo, with my milk, bring a calculator up too.
You got to say some bullshit.
No, no, no.
What's 5% of 100?
No, I take 30 minutes to look and then ask.
Yo, is included already?
How much people be tipping you?
Yo, they be so sad.
Yo, they be so mad at me. Yo, what's a good tip? Yo, they be so sad. Yo, they be so mad at me.
Yo, what's a good tip?
Yo, they be so crushed when they have to tell me, yeah, yo, it's in there a little bit.
I'm like, oh.
All right.
Oh.
Good looking.
Why didn't you say that?
Good looking, Roscoe.
Good looking, Roscoe.
I don't even write one little blank line.
Hey, I do it bold.
No, they taught me to do it bold because if you do not,
they could write a tip in themselves and it would just be applied.
No, I write the word none.
I write none.
This nigga got me fucked up.
I was never putting tip on top of the tip.
But I'm a great tipper.
See, they jerk themselves when the grat is included.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Because I was going to lace you.
Nah, nah, nah.
But now, since you did it that way.
Some niggas ain't.
A lot of niggas don't tip good, bro.
I'm a great tipper.
No bullshit.
Nah, I tip well, too.
My great tipping probably will make up for at least five other.
All you need is a few great tippers.
It's true.
You shouldn't be relying on it.
Most people are bad tippers.
No, they are.
So you shouldn't rely on the bad tip.
You have to rely on the good tip.
The only time it makes sense for the gratuity as someone who worked in the restaurant industry,
to me, is when it's like a huge table because it's going to be chaos when the bill comes
and all that shit.
Motherfuckers turning to mathematicians.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yo, I only had the salad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, see? You right, but I and all that shit. Motherfuckers turning to mathematicians. Yo, I only had the salad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, see?
You right, but I'm against that too.
Put the gratuity on when it's won.
What?
That'll eliminate any confusion.
No, you're right. Just put it in.
There's nothing to add. There's nothing to worry about. It's in there.
When you get your check
and the taxes are taken, they don't pay no mind to what's taken
out.
Maybe you do.
But they're taking it out.
Your check is your check.
Shit was just on the gram this week.
It went viral.
This girl was reading the bill.
We so blown away with these little viral.
No, look.
This girl was reading the bill.
Yeah.
And she was like, talking about the gratuity.
Uh-huh.
I was like, could you, we didn't order this.
It was just this week dog it wasn't
funny but it was funny as shit that's always fine i mean if you've gone through that it's not funny
because you know all the headache that comes with that like when it's a big table and we all trying
to split the bill like the first move is nobody counts the drinks nobody ever counts the drink
no you drink that right that's your sprite right no and i'm the nigga no no i'm the nigga that
don't drink so when you start getting now you gotta be that guy no i mean i don't you gotta ain't on no cheap
shit but when niggas start getting six bottles of merlot and all this other shit glass be 40
dollars a glass right wine be 40 dollars a glass you like your dog well then on and on top of that
they include the grat a lot of people Skip over the grat
If it's 10 of y'all
And y'all all skip the grat
Alright we're $100 short
Right yeah
More than that
Yeah more than that
Definitely
More than that
Nigga you go to a $300 dinner
$3,000 dinner
$4,000 dinner
Nigga gratuity is $800
Nigga you ain't know
You out of
Rosemary potatoes Nigga
As the guy
That
Just pays
Cause that's who I am
Now to have some fun
I'll wait a little bit though
Make people sweat a little bit
See who gets up
And goes to the bathroom
All of a sudden
Just to watch behavior
I'm gonna pay it regardless
There ain't nothing wrong here
So you gonna pull that
Bank of America card out
I'm reading tweets right now
So let's just see
They just sit on the table Everybody look away start talking like they don't see the
because what i noticed is like i don't like to waste time so the part that bugs me well uh one
of my pet peeves is we all finished our meal we sit here talking now we talk for an hour or however
long we sit in there and then we ask for the check. And now they got to wait, and now we're sitting here waiting. When it's time to go, I like to go.
So my move typically is when everybody looks done and I ask,
is everyone done, I'll go find the waiter.
I go to him.
Here, here's my card.
I think people started noticing that.
So then that was it.
Yeah, they noticed that I would get up
before
and just sneak the card
and just
take care of it all
so it was just
a blast
until I
until I stopped
taking that little walk
until I just chilled out
you want another drink
yeah and then
shout out to the people
that they started
noticing I was doing that
and then they rushed to do it
now cause when you go with
people that are like minded
like yeah
now we're beefing over
Who fights
Now the beef is different
Yeah
No no I'm paying
No no I'm out
I'll find it
Take the car
Move your car
Does that impress you on a date
If a girl pays for this shit
I wanna pay
No I wanna pay
Cause I'm a guy
And I'm a gentleman
Right
But when chicks sincerely
Be like nah nah nah
Chill I got it
That impresses me.
It does.
That is sexy to me.
That's cute.
But I like for that to take, to occur in other areas.
I don't let them pay.
The mortgage?
No, no, no.
Handle the reservation.
Like, let me pay.
You handle the organization or whatever.
I like to see the teamwork.
No, I just think it's so.
I'm with you.
Don't like it.
Like again,
I'll wrestle you down and throw your card out the window
before I let you pay.
Right.
But I just think it's so
You gotta go back to Bank of America.
Get Luke's card.
You gotta call AMX
they sent him at 25.
Oh.
You a little stuck right there.
That was a stunt.
That was a stunt.
Stop your shit.
Big ish.
Anyway. That's just. Big ish. Anyway.
The biggest ish.
Big burr.
Come on, man.
Nigga, yo.

No, I ain't doing shit no more.
But you got the facts.
Yeah, I ain't doing shit no more.
Oh, yeah, that's where we were.
Yeah.
We can still catch it.
The world is different.
Nah, man, the world, that delta fucking everybody up.
I'm chilling.
They canceled over a thousand flights between Spirit and American Airlines.
They didn't say why.
It's rumored that it's a strike amongst the pilots.
Yeah, they said Spirit. there was someone in the airport actually stood up on top of some of the like a conveyor belt or something and was just shouting like yo
there's a video they walked out that's why there's no flights there's been a walkout and
they're not telling y'all huh like there's something else going on here and they just
not relaying the information to people.
And I've been seeing pictures and videos of spirit lines, like, just long.
People just standing there.
No movement, nothing going on.
It's like they have no workers here.
They walked out.
Yo, please, while we're on this topic, real quick.
That's crazy.
Fabio Foreign was on a jet, and he was talking to the pilot.
Can I let y'all hear it?
Oh, please.
Oh, yes, please.

But anyway, yeah, the airports are fucked up.
Flights are twisted.
Cases are going up.
I don't believe anything that I hear from anywhere.
You can trust nothing.
That's where I'm at.
Trust nothing.
That's my new statement.
Just trust nothing.
Nobody knows.
You don't know anything.
Just nobody knows.
My 40 years on earth,
I knew maybe three of y'all that got bronchitis.
In 40 years, nobody was running around saying, yo that got bronchitis in 40 years nobody was running around saying yo got
bronchitis now everybody has bronchitis and it's not just a regular bronchitis it's like

It's real shit.
New York is talking about
you'll need proof of vaccination
to be indoors anywhere.
I'm assuming most of the blue states
will follow that.
I'm sure.
Or that's in the works currently.
We knew this was coming.
Yeah.
Lockdown coming too.
I think another lockdown's coming.
Another lockdown is well on the way.
I don't think it's going to be a lockdown.
I think it's going to be
a lot of restrictions.
A lot of restrictions.
Yeah.
A lot of restrictions
will feel like lockdown
yeah
once they start to
stay at home orders
we've been through lockdown
they are lockdowns
in essence
you know what I'm saying
like they are lockdowns
in essence
and then
now they're saying that
even if you have it
I mean even if you have
been vaxxed
you can still pass it
you can still get it
you get what I'm saying
like so again
you really didn't alleviate nothing
we about to start
having to wear masks again
and the wild part is
this is the summer
no I'm still wearing my mask
we didn't get to the
maybe not as often as before
but
yeah like they're about to start
mandating it
think if you've been vaccinated
and you can still contract
and pass it
you need a mask nigga
yeah
you feel what I'm saying like that's the only thing that's going to stop you allegedly from not getting it and pass it, you need a mask, nigga. Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?
Like, that's the only thing that's going to stop you
allegedly from not getting it
is a mask.
I'm wearing a mask
because these niggas
is dirty and dingy still.
Yeah.
Like, I can see
the dinginess on y'all.
Like, when I'm out.
Learned a lot about people's
sanitary habits
in the last two years, so.
They dirty and dingy.
Nasty.
They don't want to hug you.
Don't cover their mouth.
No, get your fucking hands
off my cologne.
No bullshit.

Fist bump.
Fist bump.
Elbow.
It's a dub for the dab.
It's over for that.
I don't even punch your fist.
I hit your wrist like.
Oh my God.
New York City will require proof of vaccination to enter all restaurants,
fitness centers, and indoor entertainment venues, de Blasio says.
If you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in life.
You have to move to another planet immediately with all your belongings
and say goodbye to your parents.
Mars, that's why they're going there.
If you want to participate in our society fully, you've got to get vaccinated.
Yo, there's got to be some real money in here, man. We can't even participate in the society fully, you've got to get vaccinated. Yo, it's got to be some real money.
We can't even participate in the society.
The policy will take effect over the next few weeks. Got it. Thanks,
buddy. City's move comes as businesses
across corporate America begin
rolling out vaccine requirements for employees.
In some cases, yo, so the NFL's
going to have issue on their hands. Kirk Cousins don't want to take that
shit. I think they'll be alright.
A lot of people don't want to take it.
The quarterback depth chart don't say they'll be alright.
D-Hop don't want it?
Yeah, a lot of people don't want it.
I just don't think Kirk Cousins is the fucking
straw that broke the camel's back in the NFL.
In the Vikings
locker room, I'm sure that's a big issue.
Yeah.
Look at you demeaning Kirk Cousins.
Sorry, man. I'm not a big Kirk Cousins fan
See now wait
That's back to my things
That deserve
When Kirk Cousins won the Super Bowl
Things that deserve more applause
Kirk Cousins?
Yeah
Yeah
They franchised him
Seven years in a row
Kirk Cousins is a monster
And every year
He proved his worth
Enough to go get a hundred mil
From another team
Yes he did
I don't care if every
pass after that is an interception.
That's impressive.
Round of applause. He could be a bum.
You're not a bum.
But that feat, I'm just saying, if you like Parks
or if you think like Parks and you're like, fuck Kirk Cousins.
Cool. I'm with that.
But that's impressive, you don't think?
Sure.
Sounds a little haterish there, Parks.
What's up, man?
A little get out of my face-ish.
Kirk Cousins might have fucked one in.
Why are you just discounting?
You got a wild beef list.
I don't got no beef with Kirk Cousins.
No, I mean you're a good quarterback.
No, that was sassy.
And there's excellent black quarterbacks that don't get paid.
No, you have some sass on that.
I never thought you had sass for Kirk, but it's cool.
I think it's whatever.
You think he's stealing money?
Yeah.
You don't think he earned?
You don't think Colin Kaepernick's a better quarterback?
Throwing a ball?
Yes.
No.
He is.
I think he may be better in the right system.
Yeah, we would just compound things.
Just mad.
I just left it alone.
There's a mad complicated reason why Kaepernick is a bad example in this particular instance.
And y'all trying to steer us out?
No, no, no.
You're right.
I walk right away from that.
And I'm going to ask you this, and I'm walking away too.
You won't get me.
No, no.
How do you know if Kaepernick is a better quarterback than Kirk Cousins right now?
I'm talking about when Kirk Cousins got the big bag. He went crazy for that bag. No won't give it. No, no. How do you know if Kaepernick is a better quarterback than Kirk Cousins right now? I'm talking about when Kirk Cousins
got the big bag.
He went crazy for that bag.
No, he didn't.
Yes, he did.
No, he didn't.
Okay.
You got your mind.
I'm sorry.
We don't got to argue.
Yeah.
Chris Paul.
Enjoy over there.
Kirk Cousins.
Jeff Goldblum.
Who else is on the park?
Wahlberg. He definitely wants on Park? Wahlberg.
He definitely wants to go with Wahlberg.
Hey, I was going to get on Matt Damon's ass until I heard that story was fake,
but he lucky.
He lucky I did my due diligence.
Why would Matt Damon?
Nothing.
That's why you got to be careful.
Because some bullshit, not some bullshit,
but some entity put out a story that said Matt Damon just learned from his youngest daughter just taught him to stop using the F word.
Oh, yeah.
So that was fake.
I know it was fake.
No, I'm asking you that was fake.
Yeah.
I saw the story.
My research told me that it was fake.
Okay.
I did see that.
If it comes out to be real, don't come back to me like I'm fucking Trevor Noah.
I'm not.
But yeah,
they said Matt Damon was like,
yeah,
my daughter,
I used the F-bomb at a family dinner
and my daughter went to the room
and wrote a long diatribe about why that's bad
and now I know that that's bad.
And I read that shit.
I was like,
yo,
this better not be real.
Matt Damon better not be able.
Matt Damon wouldn't say that.
Even if that was true, he wouldn't say it.
Even if that was true, he knows better.
He would never say that publicly.
He knows better.
Yeah.
Yo, my daughter taught me to stop saying the ****.
I was never using it like ****.
Like, no, he wouldn't say that in an interview.
You're marking time stamps.
Because I wouldn't say it either.
All right, moving on.
LeBron really, yo, I have to make it to that Vegas Usher concert.
I have to go.
I know we're going to talk about LeBron right now,
but my take from watching everybody go to the Vegas Usher show is,
I have to go to Vegas, even if we've just fly,
I'm saying we, y'all don't do fly shit like that.
I want to fly to Vegas, even like on a,
look at this.
I want to fly to Vegas even if it's flying on a Sunday and go to the show on a Sunday night.
How do you not go to this?
You're right.
No, you're right.
I'll go.
This is one of the things we have to go to.
Or I have to go to.
Let me speak for myself as a fucking old man.

Oh LeBron pushed a fan
At the Usher show
Who cares?
The fan cares.
He's fighting the way.
Hey, I wish he pushed him harder.
Yeah, for real.
I'm mad the dude didn't fall.
Move.
Move.
Why are you running up on me and my wife with your phone out?
Move, dweeb.
Fucking dogs.
Move, you fucking dork.
Well within arm's reach of me and my wife.
If I could push you, you're too close to me.
Flat out.
With your phone in my face.
Literally, the nigga's phone was in his face.
Yeah.
This is not news for me.
I wish you would have pushed him harder.
Congratulations.
Shout out to LeBron.
Push the next dude to do it, too.
I'm with that.
What else?
What else do we have to get to?
Free agency, free agency, free agency-ish.
Lakers, how do you feel?
I feel great.
I'm feeling good.
All right. That's all right. We here. I think the moves we make have been great. Mm-ish. Lakers, how do you feel? I feel great. I'm feeling good. Alright!
We here. I think the moves we make have been
great. We need to get rid of
fucking
Marc Gasol. Nobody's going to take his deal.
And if we get rid of
Schroeder, Schroeder,
however you pronounce it, I think we're in great space.
You don't like Schroeder?
No. Not on the team. He don't want to be
there either. I like him as a basketball team. He don't want to be there either. I like him as a basketball player.
He don't want to be there.
And his game don't really flow well with LeBron.
Now we got Westbrook.
We don't need no fucking Schroeder.
Let me ask you this.
With Schroeder, because I read some things.
Wasn't it another player he had?
Like, he was having a little issue with?
Kuzma.
But he's gone now.
Kuzma's gone.
So,
with him being gone,
does the situation change?
He wants $100 million and we just picked up
Russell Westbrook.
Get the fuck off the state.
I holla.
I holla.
You and your fucking
stripe in your head
could go somewhere else.
It's a bunch of people
that need point guards.
Get the fuck out of here, dog.
They just got Carmelo, right?
Yeah, unfortunately.
You don't like that?
I like Melo as a basketball player.
I don't like him on the team, on the Laker team.
Why not?
He don't play defense.
We need defenders.
Okay.
Why are you looking around like somebody passed away or something?
Because I said some shit?
I don't know.
I like Mello there.
I like Mello as a person and as a basketball player.
I don't like him on the Lakers team as constructed.
What do you guys think about the happenings in free agency as a whole thus far?
Who do you think are the biggest winners, losers?
Now you got me saying Mike Greeney.
The biggest winner Loser
Give up your grades
Now I'm the biggest loser
Miami is cooking man
It gotta be them right now
Who'd they pick up?
Kyle Lowry and
PJ Tucker
I like that
They re-signed
Duncan Robinson
And they about to give
Jimmy Butler the max
They gave Jimmy Butler
Some money
Is Oladipo still in Miami? Oladipo played for Houston Robinson. And they about to give Jimmy Butler the max. They gave Jimmy Butler some money.
Is Oladipo still in Miami?
Oladipo played for Houston.
No, he does not-ish.
Houston traded him to Miami.
Really?
That was two years ago.
No, you're wrong.
It was last year. It might have been last year, but not two years ago.
Not two years ago. Not two years ago.
What else you think about free agency?
Oh, I like who the Knights picked up.
They got Patty Mills.
That's huge for them.
Huge, huge, huge for them.
And ain't pay him shit.
They gave him six mil.
He's a winner.
Have you watched the Olympic Games at all?
He been cooking them, right?
No, you seen Ricky Rubio go crazy last night?
Ricky Rubio just got traded too, right?
Yeah, you mad disrespectful.
Nigga's name is Ricky.
Yeah, my bad.
Marco Rubio.
That's a politician.
He just scored 38 points in an Olympic game.
See what I mean about things?
Put a bunch of lessons out there? Yo, Marco Rubio went crazy.
Rostro Johnson.
Who the hell, Barks?
Jesus.
Oh, man.
Yo, go back to whatever you was at.
You're screaming.
You about to get fired, man.
Joe just want to fire somebody.
No, Joe's fired enough people.
Yo, the Bulls got DeRozan.
They bugging now.
They got DeRozan and Lonzo.
That was a nice pick for them, though.
It is.
That's a nice one, two, three punch.
I want to know the signing trade they got DeRozan over there.
Look, the Bulls trying to be good now.
Yeah, they're not playing either.
No, they did a great job.
I like what Phoenix did a lot.
I do like what the Lakers did.
I'm not going to bash.
I think they need some more shooting, but I'm a living room coach.
What do I know?
Everybody's bashing the Knicks.
I don't see why.
I love everything that the Knicks did.
Months ago when they signed, not months ago, but a year ago when they signed everybody to these one-year deals and took a chance on people and all of them performed
on $5 million contracts.
Can't beat it.
You freed up mad space, but they still didn't.
Your plan worked, so now you got to commit to it.
But no, their plan was,
I'm going to give all these people just a little bit of bread.
They still didn't get the star player.
They opened up all that money so they can get a max contract and didn't get the guy
yet.
Yeah, but that's not, that don't mean it's over.
No, I didn't say that.
I know, but people keep shitting on the Knicks.
It's like, oh, you won't get a star.
Yo, in today's NBA, maybe the stars don't want to rush to the Knicks.
I'm okay with that.
You still got to build a team.
True.
So I love that they got their draft picks.
I love that they got their young core, their young talent, their veterans,
and they brought back the people that were successful.
And this is the first Knicks offseason where I'm even seeing most of the team return.
You have to send those type of culture vibrations out to the rest of the league
that if you succeed here, we'll pay you.
Versus what teams have always used the Knicks for to run it up, get leverage.
Yo, the Knicks going to pay me $70 million over what I'm worth,
and then they go get it back.
So I'm not mad at what the Knicks did, and I'm a real Knicks fan.
So I have seen that Fournier guy kill the Knicks for years.
He's a Knicks killer.
I like him.
He's a Knicks killer.
I like him.
If you hate him, he's a Knicks killer.
So, yeah, I'm not gonna kill him
And I'm gonna continue
To support the Knicks
And whatever they do man
Hopefully they're not finished
Maybe Reggie Jackson
Will come
They do still need a guard
They got a couple
Extra dollars to play with
Definitely a point
Huh
So if you think
The Clippers
Let nothing go
Y'all better get
With Drogic
No
But okay Drogic. No, but okay.
Drogic just was part of a big trade.
Nah, he didn't get traded.
He wrote a farewell letter to the Heat, even though they ain't ship him out yet.
But when they got Kyle Lowry, they said he wrote an emotional letter to the Heat.
Because he's in that trade.
No, not from what I heard.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm telling you.
Maybe I'm wrong. You're wrong you're wrong he's in that train
it's Kyle Lowry and Precious whatever his name
I mean Goran and Precious
yeah there it is
okay come on let's move on
what else we got
free agency we're done that was it
that was our extended deep dive
it's fine
totally fine
did you happen to witness any of Fleetnik?
No, but I heard about it.
I heard about it.
I saw the tweet saying there's just a bunch of dicks on there, so I signed off Twitter.
No, no.
The women was giving it up.
And then because women were giving it up, dudes started giving it up.
So why would I rush to the fleets?
I never check fleets.
I've never checked fleets in my life. I don't even know how checked fleets in my life because you have to use the official twitter app even when i went to the
fleets yesterday it's like oh all the ugly girls i follow is getting naked like i'm out i follow
you because you're funny you know i don't know what that shit is yeah yeah we old it was some
shit the kids were having fun. Fleets was,
just so I can give you
some information-ish.
Fleets was Twitter's version
of the Instagram stories.
Oh, I do know
what Fleets are then.
I didn't see those.
It was the exact same thing.
I have a very PC following.
Because you only follow
Large Professor and Alchemist.
So what happened...
They weren't shaking it up.
Because it didn't really
Catch the way Twitter wanted it to
They announced a couple weeks ago
That on August 3rd at midnight
They were removing fleets
From Twitter
Completely like just
Doing away with it
Gotcha
So people took yesterday as
Oh alright
I can wild out
Because
It's disappearing
Ain't nobody gonna see this shit no more
And it's gone
Yeah but then they wild out And and fleets didn't leave.
Yeah.
Twitter said, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
This is the most activity we've ever seen in fleets.
Yeah, maybe this wasn't a bad idea.
I did check the fleets, but I mean, that's not my thing.
I'm shocked that everybody else was fleeting.
I was shocked about that.
But I did.
Some of the people that I did see in there participating, I was shocked, because they're rathereting. I was shocked about that. But I did. Some of the people that I did see in there participating,
I was shocked because they're rather reserved.
I was just like, wow.
I was reading tweets.
Some of y'all left that was leaving the hammer in the fleets.
I didn't see none of that.
Dudes was leaving.
Me neither.
Let's go right past the dudes.
But it was stories.
It was dudes saying they was checking the fleets
to see what their arch nemesis was working with.
What the fuck?
Yo, this whole space is weird.
I don't even tweet anymore.
I don't even say good morning.
I don't even say good morning.
This is the weird times we living in on social media, bro.
It had to get weirder after the hipsters.
It got weirder after Tumblr
when everybody from Tumblr came over to Twitter.
And that was the change.
Yo, after every occurrence last decade, things got weirder.
Like, think about it.
I've spent so many years bashing the hipsters, but right after the hipsters was the Lils.
And I think now we're, the Lils is veterans now.
Yeah.
We're looking at what's after the Lils.
Post-Lils.
Yeah, spot them, rock them, jock him, and all this other shit.
So we got to deal with it.
Whatever we got here is from us.
It's from us.
That's kind of what I wanted to say to you.
It comes from us.
It's Jamel.
I hate it all.
It comes from us.
I didn't say it last part.
And I don't hate it all.
You kept telling me, like, how can I big up these rappers and then say, you know, there's a problem, et cetera.
But I'm pushing the music.
I'm promoting the music.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
To that, I wanted to say, well, you kind of do the same thing.
Because your favorite rapper, your goat is Hov.
And in that entire drug dealer era,
these little lost kids today
are just products of that.
They're the products of
their moms being sold crack,
their pops being locked up,
and them having to fend for themselves
in the streets.
So it's kind of like,
it's all a trickle-down effect, bruh.
Let me know when I can go.
You can go.
Jay-Z's talking about
selling drugs
these little kids are glorifying
killing other little kids
and keeping the score
there's a total difference
one is in
involving money
to get yourself out of
a fucked up situation
the other one is talking about
just killing quote unquote
ops
and keeping the score
fam it's stems from this the broken home talking about just killing quote unquote ops and keeping the score. Damn, it stems
from this. The broken
home. Yo, let me just
jump in and tell y'all both we have such a fun pod.
Oh, alright.
It's right at the end.
My fault. Y'all don't

of home. I was like, oh. Once that home come out. We ain't to do this. We don't have to do this. I can hear it bubbling. We don't have to do this. You let Ish get out of, um. I was like, um.

Yeah, all right.
Ooh.
Fun part.

Baby, tú extrañas como yo te toco
Recuerda
De tu cuerpo seillo, mami
Cada rincón, por dentro y por fuera Dile que volví tú de ti
Ya, ya, ya, ya Yo soy ese tacho de mami que no se te borra
Sin palomería, yo no bajo con cotorra Dile a toda esa que es mí siempre que tú piensa
Que cuando termine, cuando tope, no comienza
Ya, ya, ya, la comienza Y ahí, ah, ahí, ah
Cuando tú sientes la diferencia
Yo siempre te daba con consistencia
Dile que se retire, haga su diligencia
Porque Barbie, por ti
Pasártelo bien rico como te gusta a ti
Ponte en cuatro y te la saco como lo haces a ti
Te montaste en la jipeta y no tenía panty
Solo tengan, yes Que es imposible, que no me extrañes ¿Cómo lo hacías a ti? Te montaste en la Jeep A ti no tenía panty Solo te engañas
Qué imposible
Que no me extrañes
Los nuestros de años
No hay forma de que se dañen
Con él ni sudas
No hace falta ni que tú te bañes
Después te lo polvo
Conmigo a la sabana hay que botarla
Toalla pa' la nena pa' secarla
No quiero otra
Tú eres la que sabe sacarla Hoy vine pa' rescatarla So nasty
It's Volvi, Aventura and Bad Bunny

Royal Street, nigga, I'm your local drug deal
I'm having dinner with the bosses, I'm the plug to you niggas
Ain't worried about shit, phone rollin', uh, triple stack
I done took a lot of 50K, fuckin' get it back
We takin' shit, fuckin' old age We ain't givin' back, but I'll get your bitch back
When I bend it back We're tapped on the window, bentin' through the back
Puttin' checks on the niggas, hey now, we got bread now
We ain't gotta walk down no more I just send them down, uh, two shooters, uh
And they both got fifty rounds Drop a bean on your body, green beam on the guy
It'll be your bitch, walkin' back the scene to get your knock
Boy, don't leave no witness, shoot it off your pivot, ooh, ooh
Boy, I taste that bag, see the cash is vivid, ooh
Big dough business, I don't fuck with PPA
But I always get the ticket, ooh
Mind you fuck up broke niggas, I could never
Bitch I'm way too clever, blades hittin' up my cellular
I pay five grand, I'm young and change the weather
40 making back up, two shot push your head up
You can't get up, fuck it, we done kill her
Tied with Philly drillers
I sent a DM, said he gon gonna catch me till I go down.
Oh well, we gonna leave it in the streets.
Just don't tell.
That's Ops in the DM by Fatboy Lucci.
Look at Ish.

Or maybe it was just Ice.

We got it.
All right, you found it.
Where you found it at?
Lowe's.
This nigga was outside.
She was just playing the speakers.
Hand out his CD outside.
Oh, man.
All right.
I was trying to find.
What was I playing?
I don't remember.
I was getting up.
That's your car right there.

Ooh!
What up?
Yeah, this is my
outro vibe. Time I'm on.
I was mad. I played this early
when we was talking and I got mad that we was talking over it
So I cut it off
But I gotta play this again
You wasn't outside
Yo man
Nah
I wasn't
You wasn't outside
No
But I had this album
We know you had an older brother
There you go
This song made me wanna go outside
I was like what is the formula We know you had an older brother. There you go. We know. This song made me want to go outside.
I was like, what is the formula?
The rest of my life, I tried to concoct things.
Yo, keep us in your prayers.
Lord knows we need to be there.
Until the next time, I bid you adieu.
Farewell.
Adios.
Hasta la vista.
Arrivederci.
So long.
Goodbye. Life is a series of moments
It's like a mensage that only I can understand
But those who wanna comprehend
Will again be in the midst of the brother
Life is a series of moments and moments pass
So let's make this one last as if it's all that we have
Keep yourself in your prayers too
A lot of people just don't pray going to bed
And I mean if that's your bag cool, but shout out to those that do
Lastly the baddies are insecure the stagnant women want to travel and the closed-minded women want you to teach them things
Grabbing the proxy and get yourself straight migraines hurt
With that said we'll be back same time same place
Be safe out there.
Keep your head on the swivel.
And continue to get money.
What else is there to do?
Happy New York Day.
Shout out to the Locks.
Shout out to Dipset.
Shout out to Yonkers.
Shout out to Harlem.
I don't know who won, but I'm assuming it was the fans
