This is the realization I've come to.

Let's just start with some...
This is not misogynistic.
My favorite body type is dying.
It's over.
Oh, no.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
Why are you doing that?
Yes, it is.
I mean, they making songs about it
because it sound cool in the verse,
but they not living it.
It's over.
They not living the thick life no more?
Because she thick.

lipo marking your neck,
your arm. Hey, move it all.
The thighs are leaving.
Do y'all hear me? Y'all don't hear me?
No, you need to. We need thighs.
But thighs can't really leave.
I think where they messed up at-
Thighs are leaving.
They messed up because when they went and started buying the asses,
they wasn't buying the thighs.
So it was like, can you buy thighs?
You can buy anything now.
You can get in proportion.
You can buy a little blackhead if you know.
That's Madonna.
You know them.
Who want to buy a little kid?
Yo, nah.
Yeah, you need that little thigh crease.
That thigh crease is the shit.
You need a thigh.

When can a guy leave? Think about it.
I mean... When is it okay?
You're not allowed to leave and still...
What was the example I brought up?
I mean, if she cheated, I suppose that would be a valid reason.
No.
That wouldn't be a valid reason.
No?
If you're a real nigga.
Especially if you've cheated.
If you're a real nigga, you're never going to catch her cheating.
That's true.
That's also true.
Women are good at that shit.
No. And if you really... are good at that shit. No.
And if you're real, you're ignoring your girl.
True.
That's the excuse.
I didn't feel loved.
I don't know what you do on a day-to-day.
Yeah, I can't.
Damn.
You can't leave.

respect thing every time a dip set record came on he was canvassing the crowd and he was shaking
his head in disappointment. It wasn't hitting
like that. And he would speak out loud and say,
oh, it's not hitting the same.
And I'd say, stop, Ice. But was I wrong?
No, you wasn't. You wasn't
even there. When I got to the strip club, they was
doing a dip set shit, and Ice was looking at me like,
this shit don't even sound right.
But look at the reaction.
Nah, you're right. They did a dip
set set in the strip club. Dip set sets used to go up in the club. Anywhere. Nah, you're right. Like, the reaction was... They did a dip set set in the strip club.

Dip set and Jeezy set used to be my favorite sets in the club.
Because I was fighting it.
Like, he said it mad times.
You know Ice is ignorant.

As dudes in relationships, it used to be cool to look.
And now you can't even do that.

that I was upper echelon again
I don't even know
how to say echelon
is it echelon escalon nigga don't even know how to say echelon. Is it echelon?
Escalon?
Don't do that.
You know what it was.
Bullshit you was on.
Just going to leave my man downstairs.
If I'm with Angie, is that upper echelon?
You're with Angie, Mary, Adrian.
Stop.
We're not doing that.
And Elizabeth.
You're not with Angie in Beverly Hills.
You're with Angie and Elizabeth. You're not with Angie and Beverly Hills. You're with Angie and Elizabeth.
I'm with Angie, who is one of my probably only real friends I have in this industry.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
No, no, I agree with you.
Mary didn't text me and say, yo, I'm pulling up.
I didn't say you did.
Oh, that's just that picture.
That wasn't me.
It was a lot of other motherfuckers over there.
No, again.
You know why I like this narrative?
Because every time we go to these funks, I don't leave my house. If it ain't the strip club. If we take strip clubs off the planet, I don't go this narrative because every time we go to these fun I don't leave my house
if it ain't the strip
if we take strip clubs
off the planet
I don't go nowhere
you don't go nowhere
right
so the one time
I step out
it was super mixy
yeah but I be trying
to stand in a corner
I be in a cut
I'ma give you the truth
there was this big ass
industrial fan shit
right
like to keep all
keep the whole balcony
area cool
Joe went and stood
damn near behind the fan.
Y'all know how I'm going to do any time I'm in one of these events.
We know that.
But energy.
I attract people.
They just come over to me.
Even the Mary Angie picture that I was cropped out of.
When they was taking that pic, I went to hide behind a fan.
And Angie said, no, just one pic, man.
I mean, you and Maryary just one just one just one
and i got in there i said all right fine and i looked stupid in the pic then they cropped me
out the pic i was laughing stock of the internet but it was like i'm not here to take pictures
no you definitely wasn't here to be mixing it was even a couple times i seen people ask you
for a picture you put the mask back on yeah i was just happy to be out i was just happy to be
outside right but by the time we got to that next function,
which was beautiful, private little after get-together pool party shit.
One of the homies or family or something like that?
Of somebody else.
But yeah, it was a beautiful, beautiful home.
Real good vibes.
So this is why ice is funny.
See, and this is why I don't like, don't call me up, Archelon, again.
We pull up.
It's beautiful out there.
Mad cars, mad people, but people that look like about things.
Yeah.
It wasn't.
People look busy, active, into whatever they're doing.
That's why I love New York, because most people in New York, if you just watch them on the street, they busy doing whatever they doing.
They ain't looking around.
That's what it was.
We get in there,
beautiful blue pool.
Beautiful blue pool.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful fucking,
I don't even know what you call them.
Shit's the fucking law.
The cabanas.
The cabanas.
They had a bunch of them.
Cabanas.
Why don't cabanas just add sexiness to anything?
I told Joe,
I said,
yo,
damn,
they tried to take a page out of your book.
I was like,
but they ain't got no fire.
They ain't got no fire? Oh, no, no, no.
Joe said, you see all of this?
There's going to be some fire. Fire's coming.
He's like, there's some fire coming. This is my bag.
Fire's on the way. Fire's showing up in an hour.
They went around. They rolled out the fire.
Lighting up fire. Everywhere.
This is happening. Shit that I didn't even know
you could light. Look, I know the nigga
texted me, like, yo, I said, yo, I was looking up there.
He said, eh, ain't nothing really crazy.
There's no fire.
45 minutes later, I seen belly dancers.
Yeah, I don't know where that came from.
I didn't know the belly dancers was coming out.
They came out the house.
We was like, yo, there's belly dancers?
Fam, it wasn't my function.
I'm just sitting here enjoying the vibe.
It was three belly dancers walk out the house.
Enjoying the army.
But this is why Ice is funny.
Fool was amazing.
The DJ, when we walked in
was a violinist.
So he was playing
your favorite rap instrumental
and violining
the music and the words.
It was a dude or that girl?
It was a dude.
It was a dude.
It was a dude.
And was killing it.
Yeah. A bunch of songs. It was a dude. And was killing it. Yeah.
A bunch of songs.
A bunch of songs that you love.
Like hip hop records.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A bunch of people around this beautiful ambiance.
Beautiful women.
It's a few celebrities.
Just a nice pace here.
And Ice goes to the bar.
He gets his little glass of whatever he gets.
Pino Grigio.
Walks back over to my upper echelon, as he calls it.
A nice rosé.
Puts his pinky up and says,
Wow, I love this
violinist.
You're from
Newark, sir. See, but I don't do that
to my friends. So I just looked at him and said,
Isn't he marvelous?
Then did a little toast with the glasses.
Isn't he? I ain't never seen
no shit like that. That was dopest foot.
It's remarkable some of the composition.
That's what I said to him.
I've never seen it. But in my head
as I'm looking at Ice toast
with Angie and Mary.
I said,
Ice,
you like
back in blood
and killer music
you don't like
violins
you don't like
classy
beautiful
impactful
like
Ice was in there
putting on his
best little

I seen him

hood niggas start

Put his hand on my shoulder.
He's like, yo, Joe.

Anyway, so you got an artist.
That's a hilarious thing to say.
So you know about that?
Oh, so you know then.
Oh, you know.
So you got an artist, and he's talking to me about the artist,
but in clubs and shit, you got to get close to talk.
So sometimes niggas be touching you.
Touching your shoulder.
It's touching.
So we trying to leave.
It's a bunch of people trying to leave.
This nigga is touching me.
Open your ear and shit.
Yeah, this nigga is touching, touching me.
But it's cool.
Go ahead and touch me.
I ain't fucked in a while.
Go ahead.
Get your shit off.
I'm in here.
Thank you.
I'm in here looking sexy as can be I mean
Waiso was paying attention to me
Waiso as he's talking about his artist
somewhere in there
he just threw out
some words
cause you know I'm trans right
and then he kept going
but I ain't leave that
get on point you're lying And then he kept going. But I ain't leave that.
Say, Bob, get on point.
You're lying.
But you're saying, see, and this is the problem.
You're saying get on point. You're lying.
I wasn't mad or uncomfortable because, you know me, I'm an ally.
I love all that shit.
Go ahead, get your shit off.
Rub my belly button.
Have a blast.
Look at this. All ahead. Get your shit off. Rub my belly button. Have a blast. Look at this.
All right.
But I left.
I got to bat it.
Once I start doing the science, I put two and two together.
I did this little Floyd show.
Might be two minus two in this particular case.
Whoa.
Wait. might be two minus two in this particular case but as I'm leaving I said to myself
see
and that's why
you can't go out
yeah that's why
you stay on his home
this trend nigga
trying to fucking bag me
in the club
trying to thumb you
don't do that
don't do that
that's my man though
he got you with the thumb move.
He did your move.
I'm just saying.
Oh, man.
You wouldn't have recognized.
I wouldn't have recognized him.
Time out.
This is what I don't understand.
I didn't bring this up for you to be angry.
Now I could be you doing all the time.
All right.
Yeah, but when you do it, you're about to offend like a whole group of people.
No, no, no.
Don't get us canceled.
Tell about he was your ex's ex.
He was a girl.
No.
When he was her ex.
I didn't put that together until later.
She was dating girls.
See.
So there's two plus two.
But when he came up to me. There's two plus two. Yeah, there's two plus two. He wasn't a girl. Gotcha. He was dating girls. But when he came up to me,
he wasn't a girl.
He was trans.
That's what I'm saying. You did
the math. You carried the one.
But people like me shouldn't be left to do
the math because I need
things simplified for me.
I'm saying to be educated, idiots.
I get it. All right.
I get it.
We're the idiots.
We're the idiots.
Oh, man.
I just paused.
I don't even know that.
Oh, man.
I was trying to get educational.
I get it. That's all I was trying to do. It's a thin line today, though. You was trying to get educational. I get it.
That's all I was trying to do.
It's a thin line today, though.
You just got to be careful.
I know, but does that mean to avoid the lines altogether because they're thin?
Rather safe than sorry?
To me, yeah.
I'll avoid the line completely.
It's a shame.
It is.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you can't even really.
Well, how do you get educated if you just avoid some shit altogether?
Can I be honest real quick?
I don't think they care if you're educated or not.
They don't want you.
Yo, you don't speak on it, period.
Certain people.
I got it.
That's it.
You don't talk about it.
Okay.
All right.
I understand.
Listen, we got a legend to pay our respects to.
Rest in peace, Chucky Thompson.
I'm in a round of applause.
One of the greatest.
One of the GOATs.
Legendary.
Iconic.
This guy's discog.
It's ridiculous.
Different.
Different.
He's got all of them.
They're all his.
Yeah.
He's a monster.
I'll just read some for the people that
might not be familiar. Usher, Thank You,
Big Big Papa,
Marry My Life,
the album. The whole thing.
The My Life album and the
My Way album.
What was the My Way album? Was it My Way?
My Way is Usher. The whole Usher. It's called
My Way though. Yes, My Way. That was the one
before 87. The Faith album, You Used to Love Me. Look, Mariah Boyz called My Way, though. Yes, My Way. That was the one before 87. The Faith album.
You used to love me.
Look, Mariah Boyz, The Men, One Sweet Day, Brian McKnight on the down low.
So For Real, Faith Evans, Mary.
It's all there.
Big, Ice Cube, Nas, One Mic.
Actually, yeah, Nas, One Mic.
Yeah, you got to go to One Mic.
Nas, One Mic.
And just the outpouring of love from the entire industry.
All of the greats, all the legends.
Again, Questlove.
I won't read anything that Questlove had to say because it's too personal.
He personalizes things amazingly.
He really is.
He does.
He's great at that.
Yo.
But they, they, they.
He is great.
I saw the interview when he was talking about him and Nas doing One Mic.
Uh-huh.
And he said they was in the studio like drawing a blank,
and then they went to what song gets you.
Right.
Right?
And it's intense, but it's calm.
And they start talking about Phil Collins, Heat of the Night.
In the air.
I mean, in the air tonight, my bad.
And that was like the inspiration for One Mic.
And he said how they just got to it was just crazy.
Yeah.
Chuckie Thompson Who
Played everything
Self taught
Just a part of so many different classics
I didn't even bother to find out
How he passed
It wasn't important to me
How old was he?
53 years old
53 years old
Super young
Great loss for the entire music community.
Prayers, thoughts, condolences to his fans, family, and friends, of course.
How you make some of the greatest hip-hop records and R&B records is just amazing.
All I need is one mic.
That's all I need.
All I need is one mic. All right, I i need all i need is all i need all i need all right i'm gonna turn it off before i get sad but it was here like in the air tonight like that
yeah yeah the feel that's that's dope capture the feel that shit is amazing was just great to see
so many so many legends and greats pay their respect and honor honor the right way honor
chucky the way he was supposed to be honored uh for his home going
uh and that's that that's that on that man chucky thompson rest in peace we love you thank you
thank you thank you that's the biggest thing yes a thank you yeah like wow that's what quest was
saying he was saying he was coming off his first album uh didn't do great he wasn't feeling great
about himself.
And Chucky, who was having all the success in the world,
reached out to him to program some drums on a record.
And he was blown away that he even knew who Questlove was.
And he said that Biggie fucking told me everything about the roots, album cuts.
And, you know, just, I always say you never know who's listening.
Like, you can make music for a certain demo but that
don't mean that those are the only people that are listening that's right like for biggie to just
ring off mad album cuts from the roots and introduce like that that funneling of energy
the first album too which was not a big success you know yeah rest in peace rest in peace chucky
thompson this leads me to this leads me me to something that I've been meaning to talk about for a few weeks here.
Social media disappearances.
When you disappear from social media.
All together.
Everywhere.
Like completely going dark.
Delete pages or just stop posting content?
Both.
Oh, okay.
Both.
Deleting pages. No longer posting content, not a tweet, not a picture, not a gamer tag.
Like, there are so many different ways via the internet to keep up with people, right?
Like, that's one of the great things about the internet is that it could just act as a big group text.
Yeah.
Like, people that you
don't speak to every day you kind of know that they're all right you could check on them at your
own free will and just know that they're doing well but sometimes and and for me i realized how
important all that phone social media stuff was when uh uh a store at the stolen phone thing when the new york court told me that a stolen phone is grand
larceny because of all the important information that's in the phone right really yes it's it's
too much now people are storing their credit cards all i should everything everything is in the phone
so it's a it's a real charge now, no matter what the,
you could have paid $800, $700 for your phone.
And that was grand larceny.
It had to be over $1,000.
But it didn't matter that it wasn't because it was too important.
Right.
And that was a few years ago.
That was early, the beginning of the decade.
So your phone and social media and all that stuff became really important.
A few times where I stood before a judge,
the prosecutor was going
to social media he was pulling up tweets and just things that's what really drove it home to me how
important that stuff was right and then you have shows like this is us and then you have shows like
a million little things where on on a million little things season one episode one is the white guy at work doing work his secretary steps out for a second
comes back and he jumps over the balcony and he kills himself
oh yeah and the person that he was calling his best friend the black guy he didn't answer the
phone because he was in the middle of trying to kill himself. Swallowing pills. His wife didn't know. That led
to a whole string of events, right?
So now let's circle this back to social media
disappearing acts. What do they mean?
Like, for me
they're triggering.
For women, they just assume you got pregnant.
For men and women
they mean two different things.
If you're not a celebrity
where you do the whole
i'm deleting shit and i could put it back up in 30 days my instagram page is back i'm laying low
for me and all of that rollout gimmick shit when you're like a real person dealing with real things
and you just go away completely am i the only one that pays that type of stuff any mind
is that like but i'm not a big social media dude so I wouldn't even know
That's not you
Yeah because you're
from a generation
where it's just different
Niggas your age
they don't maneuver that way
but today
you know we say all the time
you put everything
on social media
you put what you eat
where you go
your friends
how you feeling
what you're doing
what you're listening to
what you're watching
everything
everything
so when you go away
it's like your journal
so completely
I got people
that I don't speak to
but I feel like if they want to know how I'm doing,
I make it easy to find out.
Yeah.
Agreed.
True.
So when people disappear from social media,
I'm not talking about celebrities,
but when just normal people disappear,
it could mean...
A bunch of things.
Yeah.
It could mean...
Yeah, but I go to one place.
I go to one place first.
And you know what, Joe?
I go to one place first.
Go ahead, Isaac.
It would also depend on
how active said person was
on social media, too.
But if it's a person...
Like, if Ish disappeared
on social media right now,
I'm already there.
So you wouldn't know.
You wouldn't really...
You know, if I disappear
completely on social media, people are going to right like yo you all right like i've
had that happen i haven't tweeted in two weeks and i'll get a text yo fam just i ain't seen you
on the timeline you good i'll get a dm that'll yo like it'll notify me yo you good just check
yeah but if i reach out to you in that dark period because i felt like that let me go dark for a minute it's too much on online just chill out a little bit but if somebody yeah
recently but if somebody reaches out i'll let them know i'm alive yeah like i realize i've
i've taken an avenue away of support or a way for people to check on me but when let's say you
disappear and then i reach out and you don't say nothing.
That should, that's kind of a... That's an alarm.
And maybe everything about what I'm saying right now is selfish because it's still thinking about me.
Yeah.
It's still thinking about...
Yes and no.
Yes and no.
Nah, I don't think so.
But it's true.
Because you can still be thinking about that person.
Like, yo, I'm not reaching out for me.
Especially if you might know someone that
maybe has some depression
issues or something like that.
At the end of the summer parks, and I'm
certain that there's a stat somewhere to back this up,
everybody has depression issues.
Yeah.
At the end of
summer, depression,
they spike. They go up.
Really? Yeah. I thought around the holidays. Well, that. Really? Yeah. I thought around the holidays.
Well, that too. That too.
I thought around the holidays.
In the summer, holidays, for sure,
for sure. Both of those things exist. So what I'm saying
now, we're at the end of summer.
I assume people will be going
through things. See, I look forward to the fall.
Like, the fall's my favorite season.
So I can't wait for this hot shit to be over.
Jazz Fly, may she rest in peace.
When she transitioned, nobody knew a word.
Nobody knew nothing.
That shit just shocked the industry.
For me, I wasn't.
I was like, huh?
You left with all of those thoughts.
Like, damn, could I have done more?
Could I have reached out?
What could I have?
But when people are ready to go, they out.
They just go.
I had a friend of mine, a friend of mine purposely transitioned recently.
I don't even say suicide.
I don't use that term.
A friend of mine purposely transitioned maybe a month ago, two months ago. I don't use that term. A friend of mine purposely transitioned
maybe a month ago,
two months ago.
I didn't tell nobody.
Wasn't for me to say.
That's one of those
private types of,
you know.
But when it happens,
the people closest feel like,
well, shit,
I might have missed something.
Feel like shit.
Yeah.
You take it hard on yourself like, damn, maybe I could have done something. Such feel like shit. Yeah. I might have... You take it hard on yourself like,
damn, maybe I could have done something.
Such and such did reach out to me
saying they was going through something.
Uh-huh.
But I didn't pay it much mind.
It wasn't like serious to me.
And then...
Everybody going through their own shit, right?
Like when you start having kids and work and mortgages and bills and you just running, dog, it's times where I forget to call my mom.
You know what I'm saying?
It's times where I'll be like, oh, shit, I ain't speak to my mother in a couple days.
Like, what the fuck are you doing?
You know what I'm saying?
So stuff like that, life takes over.
I don't play like that.
No.
I got to talk to my mom every single day. So stuff like that, life takes over. I don't play like that. No.
I got to talk to my mom every single day.
This morning, she ain't answer the phone, and I blew that motherfucker.
She's at a funeral.
Yeah, no.
And I felt that way.
I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
But no, we need to start the day this way.
No, again, so again, life oftentimes takes over, right?
And so because you don't really know what somebody's going through it's not that you're minimalizing them it's just like your life is kicking my ass and i'm gonna get to him when i get to him and you
forget well that's why i was making a joke earlier about y'all about y'all going that's me and then
you just summed me up like literally i'm dealing with a lot more yeah i just this morning on my
way to your house i was like damn i ain't spoke to my grandmother in like three days.
That's not me.
So I talked to her the way up.
But I'm highlighting this stuff because like I said earlier, he had to come on here talking to podcast for his queen to say, oh shit, man, he's making some good points.
He might need a break.
He might need some help.
He might need blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I keep talking about how I'm envious of y'all because y'all come shoot the shit and then go home to unload or have somebody that could download off you.
Like, that's needed.
Niggas is just going home and getting in bed and turning on Netflix and they stuck with their fucking thoughts.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
And everybody thoughts ain't the greatest.
That's true.
So, I see a few niggas
That have magically disappeared
So
For me
Right
When I see
Especially with girls
Right
When girls disappear
Eight times out of ten
It's a dude involved
Like
Cause a lot of times
When girls get in relationships
Or pregnancy
When girls get in relationships
They just
Shut out
Like I'll curse my female friends out Like yo fam Fuck is your problem Cause they'll hit you Or pregnancy. When girls get in relationships, they just shut out.
Like, I'll curse my female friends out.
Like, yo, fam, fuck is your problem?
Because they'll hit you when a relationship is over and be like,
what up, homie?
You're like, fam, don't do that.
Like, we sincerely friends.
We not fucking holla at a nigga.
Like, yo, you good?
How's your daughter?
How's your family?
Like, that's sincere friendship.
Even if you got a man, you should still check in on the nigga that you really are friends with right so i'll attribute it to that when it comes to my female friends like most times they get a dude dudes be kind of insecure they go under the radar
but with men i i check on my niggas you know i'm saying like i'll just shoot yo what up nigga you
good everything all right boom boom boom like i ain't speak to you in a couple weeks like i i routinely check on my
friends and i think that i'm open enough that if some shit is really troubling you you could let
me know well there's the other side there's the other side like moneybag yo has a lyric and he
says i tell everybody i'm good because what you're to do if I'm not? That's exactly what I was about to say, Ish.
And that's like meaning, yo.
It's not true, yo.
A lot before, a lot of, like you just said, Ish, people are dealing with life.
I know, but that's the keep trucking mentality.
Yeah, it's like, yo, my issue ain't going to stop the next man.
I got to keep going.
I agree.
I got people depending on me.
That's how I feel, right?
Like, we don't have a choice but to be good.
Keep it moving.
Even if you're not good, you still don't have a choice but to be good even if you're not good you still don't
have a choice but to be good and and and everybody's not as strong as you and real quick some niggas
need advice some niggas need a release some niggas need to get that whatever they carrying
off their chest onto another person but the key is is somebody that may be able to help you in
any way whether it just be some words of encouragement.
A lot of times, especially today,
men, people just want to know your business.
No, yeah, true.
So it's like if you're dealing with something
and you go, you know, you vent,
or whatever the case may be,
they ain't really listening to help you out.
They listening because as soon as they hang up the phone,
they about to call or tell.
Exactly.
So a lot of people become more reserved and you keep more shit inside and again with men we've been
taught as men that any vulnerability is a weakness that's right right just how people raise their kids
my nigga like if a little boy falls on the ground he scratches his knee little girl falls on the
ground and scratches their knee they They get two totally different treatments.
The little boy is told,
yo, get up, boy.
You better not cry.
Take it like a man.
So we,
now after you 30 years of hearing
take it like a man,
you start playing sports when you're young.
You better not show no weakness,
no vulnerability playing sports.
It's funny, Bernie Mac's daughter
was just doing an interview
talking about his harsh style of parenting.
But just because he was parenting back then.
He was an old head, yeah.
And she was telling this story that was real uncomfortable to hear today about her going to school.
She was young, grade school, and getting in some shit with a guy.
And the guy punched her in the face.
And she went home to confide in her dad like oh my god i'm fucked
and bernie mack said what a lot of parents back then said yeah if you don't go back to school
and fuck him up pick up something and bust his ass in the head yeah then i'm gonna fuck you up
yeah and i felt the way listening to that today and rest in peace bernie mack uh another golden
legend i felt the way in the story but this was
her story and this was
her and the point she was
trying to make was
pardon me the point she was trying to make was
she
lived with shit because of how that
was handled
like
you deal with your own shit
you gotta deal with your own shit I can't dog. You got to deal with your own shit.
That's what that means.
I can't tell my dad this happened.
He's going to tell me, yo, go back and deal with it.
Fuck out of here.
Shake it off.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I got to deal.
And you take that into adulthood where whatever fall on me, I got to deal with it.
I don't have nobody that's going to lighten the load.
The person that's supposed to be your refuge is telling you yeah to a dude i could see like
because old school parents is like that especially black this is my fault i did this i started this
podcast this serious on this hundred degree it's cool it's all right no but i just thought it's
important it's a necessary it's a necessary it's the end of the summer i'm seeing people actively
disappear that i love and i'm worried about and they're running.
And I know how that feels because I be home in bed dealing with my brain alone.
So it just hurt.
It bothers me.
And I know what it could result to.
But I think disappearing from social media is very healthy.
There's no value in this shit.
It's healthy if it's healthy.
It's healthy if it's healthy.
It's healthy if it's healthy.'s healthy if it's healthy it's healthy
if it's healthy
true
if it's not healthy
then
it's not healthy
like
your body is your body
right
so some things about your body
will never change
like conditioning
and the things that it needs
and if you don't drink water
for a certain amount of time
some shit is gonna happen
yeah
for addicts
the second that you get off
of whatever you are
now it's withdrawal time.
Your body was used to, Ian going through it now with cigarettes.
Right.
You quit the cigarettes, nigga, your lungs and your body got to learn this new way.
We got to get all this cough to phlegm, all of this.
Your body is bodying.
Yeah.
Why did I bring this up?
Social media.
Social media, yeah.
If we're used to waking up social media from dusk till dawn.
It is an addiction point, too.
Oh, it is.
Because it is.
And it's designed to be that way.
Yep.
Yeah.
At another time, we'll talk about who designed the internet.
That's like a deep dive conversation.
Well, social media, particularly.
Yeah.
But yeah, if you're used to it, then you can't even picture a life without it.
Like, your body, mind, soul, spirit might not function the same without it, just like with anything else.
The only time I really get breaks from this shit or back in the day was when I lost my phone.
Like, the universe had to force me into realizing how peaceful it was when I lost the phone.
That panic left.
You know the panic you feel?
And that shit felt good for something
to not have that type of control over you.
That's why we're going to kick the cigarettes
because after you eat, you got to rush over.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We don't need something to have control over you like that.
Sunday, I'm going to find what I'm wearing to your way.
Oh, you and I, I'm saying you can walk Sunday.
Yes.
You can walk for half a Saturday.
I went out. I took pictures
in my phone. So, listen.
So, I'm talking about...
This nigga was out of it.
We're serious still. Alright, fine.
Alright, we're being serious.
They don't like when I joke through serious times.
I just be trying to balance it. Go ahead.
I know. But, I get
in the car and I realize, oh shit, I left
my phone.
Yo, that was like the freest I've ever felt.
And it was only for like two hours.
But not having to check it, just nothing.
Nothing.
Like no access.
If you need me, if it's an emergency, I'm with Shorty, call her.
Like my family, you know what I'm saying?
Everybody, call her.
Not for nothing, that's what I really love about the fucking watch, is that you can't
do shit on it, but someone can still call you or text you, so you can still remain in
contact.
See, I have this.
I don't even have the cellular plan.
Oh, I got a cellular.
I took it off.
I mean, I have the watch, but I don't pay for it, for the cellular plan.
I like having the cellular, because I'd be leaving my phone upstairs, or in the fucking
other basement, or whatever, and just go about my day.
I'll be here, and I'll check in in six, eight yeah see what's going on and the other thing but if there's
an emergency i'm here and and the other thing um about going dark social media and addiction
i'm so addicted to opening twitter on my phone that when i do those times when i take those
breaks i have to actually delete the app because my finger on the unlock goes right there.
And now I catch myself open,
I put another app in its place,
just to like trick my brain.
That's crazy.
Yeah, it's like automatic.
That's learned behavior.
I swipe up, and then I tap right there
where the TweetLogix app usually is.
It was designed that way.
Yeah.
Yo, that's crazy.
Nah, I mean, the social media shit is this.
No, no, I'm outstanding.
I'm just out of here.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we good.
That's what I'm going to do.
Now, you can still make your point.
You're going to make it over outstanding.
No, no, no.
This shit is just, it's literally an addiction.
Like, yo, dog, you'll grab your phone and check social media before you pray when you
wake up. Like, cold still in your eyes, breath st check social media before you pray when you wake up.
Like cold still in your eyes, breath stinking, the whole shit.
You might wake up thirsty as hell and still go for your phone first.
Literally go for your phone.
Four in the morning, five in the morning, you got to go pee, you'll be looking at your phone.
That's nuts, fam.
Yeah.
I've started turning my phone off at the end of the night.
Well, I have mine on automatic.
I leave it in the other room, turn it off. I have mine on automatic. I know you want to, I'm leaving the other room,
turn it off.
I have the automatic,
like I have my bedtime
and everything set to the phone.
I have my shit, yeah,
I have that too.
So at 10, 15 every night,
it shuts everything off.
Yeah.
So even if my phone,
you text me, whatever,
call me,
I'm not,
my phone's not lighting up.
Uh-huh.
So at least that much
because I sleep in the dark.
Right.
So at least I don't have that
lighting up just distracting you all night.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know who needs to hear this, but I love you.
Word.
I'm here if you need to kick it, you know what I mean?
And if I'm not fine, somebody you're comfortable with kicking it with,
you're important.
Because that's the other thing I realized.
Like, when some of the people you used to speak into pull the disappearing act,
you don't even have the surrounding phone numbers to make sure they're okay.
I don't have your girl's number, your mom's number, your dad, your cousin, any of your brother.
Nobody.
Come on, man.
All I know is you.
Come on, let's do better. How are you, y'all? And then, like you say, even if you do have the numbers, you reach out to this person,
you might, now they're nervous.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you just don't know.
Like, it's so much with that.
Thank you.
Mic check, mic check. I'm so excited.
Mic check, mic check.
All right.
I did think that was important.
Yeah, it is.
That was great.
All right.
What else we got going on?
What else we got going on?
What's happening?
How we feeling?
Which I want unpacked.
Which I want to kick it about.
New York City will be getting a new governor.
Well, New York will be getting a new governor.
Oh, we are serious stuff today.
We are here today.
JVP.
Nigga went right to Cuomo.
Can we wait on this?
I mean.
Is there something else to talk about?
What's up?
Get the serious stuff out the way.
Let's see.
It's all serious.
That don't got to be serious.
No, that's serious.
He's out of here.
Yeah.
He's done.
Ain't too much of a deep dive.
No. It could be. it could be it could be fam last year they were saying cuomo for president i think those two things literally i think those
two things are directly related i totally agree last year dog think 12 months motherfuckers were
saying he's the best shit since sliced bread cuomo for president that's all you saw was mad signs
and he's out of here now.
I was one of them.
I let it slip off my tongue for a second.
I like him and his brother.
He was doing a good job of providing some type of leadership.
Solace for New York.
Yeah.
He was definitely that.
And I think that he was relatable.
Right?
He sounded like a New Yorker. Yeah, he sounded like a New Yorker.
Yeah, he sounded like a New York dude.
Yeah.
Just sounded like one of the homies.
Yeah.
They got him out of here.
Yeah.
Like, it's not much of a deep dive
on the result.
Right.
They got him out of here.
And that's important to note
because he was fighting it.
He was fighting it tooth and nail.
Yeah, he was.
He fought it in the resignation.
He fought it as hard.
Yeah, he fought it in the resignation too.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did. He wanted to make his case felt. Yeah, he fought it in the resignation too. Yeah, he did.
He wanted to make his case felt.
Listen, I don't have the range to know
why this is actually coming about.
Some people are saying this is orchestrated.
Some people are saying that he's still going to have,
he's still going to have a place in the political world.
I don't know.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Cuomo resigns following finding
he sexually harassed 11 women. He got on TV and said, I didn't do none I don't know. Cuomo resigns following finding he sexually harassed 11 women.
He got on TV and said, I didn't do none of that.
Yeah.
I think I saw one quote that said, I didn't harass them.
I'm just Italian or something.
See, I don't even know if he said that.
I don't know about that.
From what I heard, he's basically saying, like, yo, I'm going to step aside because I'm more of a distraction to what's going on.
Like the world needs to get back.
I don't want to be a distraction.
The COVID shit is jumping back on people's asses.
So me being here is more of a distraction and a hindrance than a help.
But be clear, I ain't do this shit.
That's what I'm saying.
He fought this all the way to there.
Yeah, like I'm not.
I'm not copping to that.
And lost if he was resigning, right?
Yes.
Yes.
I wouldn't even say that.
And I think that's what he was trying to say.
Like, yo, I'm not copping to it.
I'm going to just step aside because it's bigger issues and I don't want to be a distraction.
I want y'all to be able to govern and do some other shit and get to more pressing shit.
Again, COVID is coming back and it's not even a winter it's not even a fall word and covid is coming back but but ish if the goal
was to get him removed in some way oh then he lost he lost then he lost i agree you get what
i'm saying he lost because they got him out of here let me read this on august 3rd state attorney
general leticia james announced the results of an investigation into allegations made against the governor by women who worked for or alongside Cuomo.
According to James, the report revealed a deeply disturbing yet clear picture in which the governor sexually harassed multiple women, many of whom were young women, by engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging and by making inappropriate comments.
Let's stop right there.
If the powers that be are at play here,
then we'll save that for another time on this topic of accountability.
If he did that, then yeah, it's time to resign.
You can't just continue to move up in the ranks
if this is how you're behaving yourself.
None of us will know, but clearly here they say
they conducted an independent investigation.
Unfortunately, I'm familiar with those a little bit.
And you get findings from them.
And what they found is there's a pattern.
Or enough that a case can be proven.
Something was going on.
Enough that a case can be proven.
Now, if that's what happened, happened yeah you're a hindrance and a
distraction to whatever the main objective
and goal is and it's time to step
down and when you see your brother
you see fucking his brother on TV looking stressed out
they attacking him now
so you gotta step down Cuomo gotta
go and Ish is right
it was Cuomo for president
and
this is the result of it.
But the same thing with Tori.
At the top of the year, it was Tori on live.
He was king of the world.
It was Drake pictures.
Then it was, eh.
He's trying his best to cook through it, but yeah.
I don't have anything to say about this.
I was shocked to see him on CNN with the breaking news,
doing the breaking news conference.
And my heart goes out to the victims in this case.
My heart goes out to the women.
Don't do it.
No, just what I was shocked at, he still didn't cop to it.
Like, that part kind of got me.
Why?
Was he supposed to cop to it? If he did it. Let's just say he didn't cop to it. Like, that part kind of got me. Why? Was he supposed to cop to it?
If he did it.
Let's just say he didn't, though.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, I don't want to discredit anybody's story.
I don't want to sound...
The accusation is enough.
I mean, and that's the taboo conversation.
That's the elephant in the room.
None of us was there.
We don't know.
We don't have facts we don't we can't
everybody's just speculating unless you
you know have knowledge or intel
right but other than that the accusation is
enough you can't tell somebody how they feel it's
enough to detract
opportunities
employers
network it's just enough it's nasty no
man wants that on them at all
indeed and you never ever ever
escape it like this is gonna follow him till he dies of course and my thing is i want to be very
i want to be clear sensitive and careful to not let
to keep this in its proper perspective because we're're men, right? So we're juggling a few things.
One of them, and I'm trying here,
I'm trying, and I ain't even the guy that should try,
but I'll try it.
One of them is this wheelhouse,
where there are men in and of power and money
that are running around acting a fucking fool.
As men, we see them niggas sometimes.
Yeah, 100%.
Niggas look like goofy, doofy, thirsty niggas.
And we talk to women.
We have women friends.
We know they get uncomfortable.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
All of that's a real thing.
Yes.
So you got to be sensitive to all of that.
There's plenty of women involved here
that maybe were fucking traumatized even seeing him on the screen if this happened this way yes
for me that conversation is to be kept totally away from the conversation that many men turn it
into which is can't say it's different yo do you think
that's crazy
it's different
alright
now
it's different
do you think it's crazy
we can't even have
the conversation
I'm gonna have it
in a few months
no I'm just saying
oh
but that
we are in a place
where
you can't even have
the what if conversation
well like I said earlier
some of these sensitive topics
with the real thin line
better off just staying away yeah you just gotta stay away from hey maybe you can hop over what if conversation? Well, like I said earlier, some of these sensitive topics with the real thin line,
you better off just staying away. Yeah,
you just gotta stay away from it.
Hey,
maybe you could hop over
the third rail,
but it's the third rail.
You touch it,
or that's your ass.
You maybe could hop over
the fucking barbed wire fence.
But it's a barbed wire fence.
But it's a barbed wire fence.
So I get it.
And if it touches you.
And there's a gate over there.
Yeah,
that's shaz.
Yeah,
and there's niggas with rifles
in the lighthouse.
Yeah,
a lot of times it's best
to just leave certain topics alone.
I agree.
Especially today.
I agree.
I just looked at you
and said no.
Can't agree.
Yeah, yeah.
We can't agree.
We can't discuss it now,
but we can't agree
on the topic
that we are talking about.
Not this.
No, no, no.
Very different.
Very different.
I'm not talking about that.
We can't agree on the topic that'm not talking about we can't agree
on the topic that we are talking about but then where do you because the women won't address that
no so if the men and the women won't address it it gets swept under the rug you can't leave that
alone you cannot no it becomes it becomes a festering problem it festers and it grows and
it grows and it grows and then you get a powder keg that we have now going on in society yeah because now if you come to a point
where an accusation i'm not talking about this an accusation is enough fuck facts if you if you say well wait let's
wait for the facts
you want to be
accusation free
you are
victim blaming
there's a lot of terms
they use now
yeah yeah
no believe
believe women
believe like
so I'm
to blindly believe
it puts you
in such a spot
where it's like
you know what
I can't play with it
dog
can't play with it
Kobe Bryant's case.
Right?
Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant.
Always.
The greater.
The GOAT.
It's one of them.
Right?
Kobe Bryant's case.
They said that
they knew
they didn't have enough
evidence to even
get out of grand jury.
Uh-huh.
But they kept it
moving along
because that city
was making so much money
that they just milked it like all
the hotels were sold out all the restaurants were sold out all that shit was sold out so i'm
deviating off track but the girl was lying and they knew she was lying and they still persecuted
this nigga in the media for a better part of a month listen maybe it's irresponsible of us to even call her a liar no no but to bring
up this topic in reference to a starting with cuomo what's going on there true because people
have a hard time differentiating yeah what we're saying well they'll create a narrative yeah they'll
create a narrative so listen my heart goes out to all of the victims in this cuomo case all of them
all the victims period like just even the victims
that haven't been able to get that to come forward and have their day like just everybody yeah because
it's a lot of this shit it ain't just him it's it's a lot of going on it has been going on since
the beginning of history if you are a powerful man in any country in the world, anywhere in the world, whether it's Africa, Asia.
Women were a commodity.
Powerful people do powerful shit.
Women too.
Again, I'm keeping this conversation separate
from you nasty asses out there
that are just targeting men
that wanted nothing but the best for you.
It's very different.
It is.
They could look the same.
Very different talks
we don't get there
what else we got
I don't know
y'all got every
serious
y'all
I said it's a hundred degrees
outside
and you introduced
two of them
somber Sammy
you got something
got a serious one over there
I've been asking you
since we walking

alright here we go here's something fun
platonic women friends
platonic women friends Platonic women friends
As I was even thinking
About the topic
I'm reminded that
The other day
I made a long mental list
Of all the people
That I show up for
Don't do that
Don't make a list
If you're a man
Don't
Cause you realize
It's a lot of motherfuckers
Don't
I should never feel
Bad
Might not show up for you.
I should always be showered with love,
is how I feel,
but that's narcissism and gaslighting
is what they tell me.
Niggas wanting love is gaslighting.
Appreciation.
It's not our time right now.
We want to get acknowledged.
Nah, don't do that.
I'm getting fucking killed from bitches
that like they steak well done.
I got to fucking go to sleep.
All right, man.
That's a deal breaker, by the way.
Platonic what?
What?
Steak well done steak?
Yeah, no, fuck.
That's not happening.
No, you want to fuck her, though.
The head is too far for you to walk away at this point.
You can't.
Hey, you like that burn shit
go ahead
but suck this
when you're done
get this bone
and now look at Ish
who is the bone
in filet
platonic friends
platonic women friends
I have many of them
do you
yeah
do you Ish do you Ice yes I have quite a them. Do you? Yeah.
Do you-ish?
Do you ice?
Yes, I have quite a few.
Have you ever tried to put yourself in the mind of your platonic woman friend?
In what?
Like, what do you mean?
What I mean is, she's your platonic woman friend.
I mean, she comes over and hangs, and y'all have a blast, and then she leaves.
And if she has a bunch of friends, guy friends like this,
that means she's popping up around guy circle group,
friend groups,
listening to all the shady shit that guys do,
none of them trying it on her,
and then she goes home to bed.
While that sounds like fun,
and that sounds healthy,
is that fun and healthy for her?
I mean, if she knows she's a whore.
None of her guy friends want to fuck her.
Damn, I sound like a caveman even saying that.
Hey, it's not my thoughts.
Entertainment purposes only.
What they used to say on the mixtapes,
for promotional use only.
For promotional use only.
We're just promoting.
That's not depressing.
If you go get around all your girlfriends and none of them ever try to shoot a shot at you at all,
it would be depressing the other way around.
It's a little different. It's not a gender thing.
What's the difference?
It's a little different for guys and girls because men are a little more barbaric.
Predatory.
Yeah, like, again, girls got a little koof with their shit.
I disagree with that.
But that's a Patreon episode.
No.
Women are way more fucking that than men.
Not as overt.
It is.
It's just the only guy that knows is the guy that she's doing it to.
I know, but again, they-
Men is just shooting at their specialty move to all the chicks.
Hey, whatever closes the deal, we shooting at the 900 of them.
Yeah.
So again, if you the 901 and the niggas ain't trying to shoot at you, you feeling some sort of way.
It's only seven other niggas that know about this magic sauce that you doing.
Damn.
And I know them seven niggas.
We be in the club together.
That's better, though.
I be dapping these dudes up.
That's better.
If you're the-
They be saying to me, what you doing?
You leave here and snickering.
The Eskimo brother game, we won't get into it. that's better. If you're the... They be saying to me, what you doing? You leave here and snickering. You know,
the Eskimo brother game,
we won't get into it.
But it's a deeper level
that we never address.
I agree.
The friendships.
No, no.
No, it is.
It's true.
The friendships.
Oh, this is great.
I'll come by and move on.
Cool, a nigga's like...
Let's move on.
I just threw that out there.
Just throwing it out.
Hey, I'm just throwing shit out there.
That's it.
Come on, moving along.
White people.
Why do they keep asking white people their showering habits?
White celebrities in particular.
Because I don't think they shower all the time.
And they're proving a point.
My people are dirty.
Dogs.
I mean, I heard a couple say that they don't even wash their legs in the shower.
That's old.
That's old.
No, but they said it.
But when they said it, it was new for black people.
Like, oh, the whites aren't washing their legs.
They took everything but showers.
They took everything but bathing properly.
Oh, shit.
Why people don't wash their legs in the shower?
I wash my legs. And feet. No, who said something recently? Everyone. Why people don't wash their legs in the show? I wash my legs.
And feet.
No, who said something recently?
Everyone.
All of them.
No, they keep asking them.
Yeah.
I think it was Aquaman.
He said, I shower.
Because I shower daily.
Some shit like that.
Why is that news?
Yeah, I don't understand.
Wait, who?
Aquaman?
Yeah.
I don't think we know you shower daily.
You Aquaman. That's what he we know you shower daily you Aquaman

you trying to trick me right now with brain stuff
Stephen A tried that shit this morning
he was trying to get on Michael Thomas from the Saints the receiver who opted to do the surgery
close to the season for me when I watch that it clearly says fuck you to the Saints it does yeah
all of the analysts are saying but how could he why would he why would he so Stephen A starts with
Michael Thomas gets got a hundred100 million contract over five years,
60 of which were guaranteed.
Then he goes into his dialogue about how the nerve of him.
And I'm on my living room couch saying,
well, the Call Me Daddy girl's got $60 million for three,
or the one girl, $60 million for three years.
What are we saying to Michael Thomas?
Right, why is it the nerve of him? For three years. Mm-hmm. What are we saying to Michael Thomas? Right.
Why is it the nerve of him?
I could tell you why, but.
Don't.
Not right now.
Tell me later.
Tell me in my ear.
Tell me.
We don't want honesty on the mic.
Yeah.
We don't want that type of honesty.
Michael Thomas, I watched him.
90% of their offense goes to him.
Correct.
And he's getting 60 million guaranteed.
I fully expect him
to wake up one day, Rich as fuck
and say, hey. I'm good.
No.
I can miss this year. I'm good.
Nah.
I don't like that. Remember how homeboy felt
when the Falcons,
somebody had one of them good tight ends lining up
every season. The Saints. The Saints.
Jimmy Graham.
They had that nigga lining up a receiver.
100 snaps out of 100.
You try to get paid for receiver snaps.

All right.
All right.
More seriousness.
Serious show.
Serious show.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is it not?
Tell me how it's not.
Because I don't believe it.
All right.
Well, you're just ignorant.
Okay.
This is happening now.
And this is Barry Hank and this is uh barry hankerson of black ground
his catalog that has been away from music and streaming for close to 20 years
is making its return to streaming and he also has an empire deal for his black rock black ground
music catalog which consists of early timberland magoo shit early tank shit that's why
that first album two classic two classic tank joints uh we're not out there who else is jojo
tony early turn tony braxton and the crown jewel of his collection alia
alia now for many many many years there's been a dispute
between Aaliyah's family
and him
about releasing the music
how it's to be released
when it's to be released
so forth and so on
I mind my business
on those types of things
but now
today
August 20th
is when this is happening
I'm rolling
one in a million
August 20th 2021 one this is happening? I'm rolling. One in a million is coming. August 20th, 2021.
One in a million.
Hit streaming to release his follow-up
Romeo Must Die soundtrack.
It's on September 3rd.
And are you that somebody?
I care for you.
And the ultimate Aaliyah will become accessible
on October 8th.
And her self-titled album is September 10th.
And what?
The Aaliyah album, the self-titled one,
is September 10th. I wonder what the thought process is to album, the self-titled one is September 10th.
What are the thought processes to stagger them like that?
Try to get number ones every time?
Yes.
Okay.
Or you don't want to flood everybody at the same time.
But why not stagger more then?
Whatever.
I'm not supporting none of this shit.
Sorry.
And that's where I differ from most fans.
Most fans, fans are fans because you're giving them what they want.
That's kind of what I said about Possemas albums.
Fans just want it.
Fans just want it.
They don't really care how they got it.
And that's where I land here with the Aaliyah catalog,
the earlier Tank and Tony classic material.
Would you support the non-Aaliyah catalog if he releases all that stuff?
I'm not supporting any of it.
Okay.
I'm not supporting him.
Got it.
I'm not supporting him.
Is there a reason why you're not supporting him?
I was about to ask that.
I watched the JoJo doc.
That's why.
Oh, I didn't watch that one.
I didn't.
I told y'all to watch that doc.
Maybe not y'all.
Watch the JoJo doc.
watch the jojo doc and jojo talks about being 9 10 11 12 13 talented signing a deal and then having all of her rights revoked not similar to britney spears but not far from it to me
and she's been fighting for her rights as an early child star up until adulthood which she
recently just she re-recorded all her earlier works.
Same as Taylor Swift.
So she's publicly now saying,
hey, this is not supporting me.
If you want to support me, listen to the
re-recordings that I did.
The earlier Tank projects, I'm a huge
Tank fan. So I know they're not on
streaming. And I know he went to court.
I also know
Tony Braxton went to court. And this article that I read says Timberland and Mag he went to court i also know tony braxton went to court and this article that i read
says timberland and magoo went to court and i take all of that info and put it with what i know
about alia's history and her child starness yeah and that gives me a very clear picture of who
barry hankerson is and the type of music industry that he comes from. It's an industry that I fight
every minute to do away with.
The predatory one.
I fight my entire life
is where we are today,
there's progress being made
in doing away with
one person owning the rights
to your music.
Hey, we about to talk about
De La Soul next.
They gotta take shit back.
Yeah, after 30, 40 fucking years
and all types of fights
and public support
and lawyer fees
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Unpaid royalties.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Most importantly.
Yeah, we gonna get to that.
But I don't support
the music industry
where one person now
just owns the rights
to all of our favorite acts.
And guess what?
All the musicians that I love, they ain't never rock with that neither.
Yeah, but.
Sam Crook.
Hold on.
Prince.
Give it to me.
Two things.
It is business for a lot of these cats.
And we just talked about.
It's not business if you approaching 10, 11, and 12 years.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
We just talked about when Michael Jackson was out buying rights and shit like that.
Like, this is, certain people play that game.
And you say the same thing.
You say, yo, have you signed a contract?
Yeah.
You gotta rock with the contract.
You didn't read your contract.
Get somebody, get a lawyer, read your contract.
Know what you're giving up in your contract.
A lot of people don't and deal with it later.
I think y'all are introducing points that for me are not relevant.
At different times, if you listen to me long enough, you'll hear me support both sides.
Exactly.
But because I understand the position of the struggling artist that has to take the opportunity in front of him no matter what.
And we'll work on getting out of the fuck later.
Like I understand that.
I also understand the executive that put all his money up and has to get it back somehow. and will work on getting out of the fuck later. Like, I understand that.
I also understand the executive that put all his money up and has to get it back somehow.
So depending on the situation,
because contract details are so minuscule,
everybody's situation can be different.
Depending on the situation depends on my take.
Okay.
It's not fair.
It's not fair.
What do you mean?
You can't say, yo, the contract is binding for this particular person
and then say, yo, but the contract is some fuck shit over here
for this particular person.
Different contracts.
I'm saying that.
Different contracts, but you negotiate that.
You still negotiate that.
You still negotiate that.
The overall underlying.
A 14-year-old could not have done that.
Somebody had to.
She had a guardian or something.
Then that's not okay.
Then stop.
I watched Law & Order enough to know that Olivia be trying to talk to fucking underage people without the parents sometime.
What do you think?
That don't happen in music?
You ain't think anything.
Okay.
No, no, no.
Wait, stop, stop.
You think everything in music is so by the books?
No, but Aaliyah can't sign that contract at 11 years old and it be binding. I don't care who talked to her. Wade stop stop You think everything in music Is so by the books No but
Aaliyah can't sign that contract
At 11 years old
And it be binding
I don't care
Who talked to her
She surely cannot
I don't care
She has a parent or guardian
That is gonna
Legally bind
Exactly
It is void
And if it is signed by
So yeah
He could go talk to her
Or whoever could say whatever
Her word don't mean shit
Because she's a kid
Exactly
Some adult gotta sign off on that
Exactly
That don't make that okay for me.
Britney's dad signed off on a lot of shit, and here we are.
Like, that means nothing to me.
It's a different circumstance.
No, it's not.
People's parents and music, unless you come from music,
you don't know shit about no fucking music.
So you go get a lawyer.
I want you to keep the same exact stance when them niggas bring that puff shit up.
I want you to keep the same exact stance when niggas talk about puff fucking people.
You're not making sense.
How?
Because I'm very clearly stating my position, which is I understand both.
No, you're wavering at your position at your convenience.
I'm a waver when you interrupt me.
That's not what I'm doing.
So gain an understanding of what I'm saying.
Now let's talk about it.
Let's talk about mace.
Go ahead.
Let's talk about mace.
I came in here and said, I don't know.
That was my position on Mace and Puff.
The internet says I just came for Puff.
But that was my same position with P and Migos.
Like, my position is going to be that sometimes.
Y'all keep adding all these other facts.
I'm saying every one of this nigga's artists was a kid.
Y'all could say cool.
You're wrong.
I don't.
Tony Braxton wasn't a kid. Timberland Magoo was not a kid y'all could say cool you're wrong i don't tony braxton wasn't
a kid timbaland was not kids tank wasn't a fucking kid you're taking you're saying alia and jojo are
kids the rest of them niggas is not kids okay so the rest of the adults later on went to court
okay to say we have a problem with with the way that this man goes about business okay
so what's confusing about me saying-
As did Puffs artists.
They went to court to try and get their shit back.
Who went to court?
Mace.
Deluxe.
When did Mace go to court?
I don't know.
I got the date in my pocket.
Then Google it.
Keep going.
We will pause and wait.
We can keep going. I don't remember a mace court proceeding
i remember mace retiring and going to church when somebody gave him money to produce music
that's what i remember i could be off but this is factual stuff so we could google it
all i'm saying is if everyone if every last one of your hearts has a problem, I can see through it.
Hey, I'm not telling none of y'all what to see through this.
Some fans just need the music.
Nah, just need it.
Some fans don't care.
I'm not talking about the pub shit.
I'm talking about with him.
If everybody has a problem with it, he might have gave them all bad contracts
but you know what they signed those contracts they didn't have a lawyer look over and say yo
you're getting fucked i don't know whatever happened we don't know we but what we know is
he gave them a contract they signed the contract and then they regretted the contract those are
the things we know for every artist he's ever come and come.
Yeah, it could be every single artist he's ever met.
So now what are you telling me?
That these artists didn't do their due diligence.
If he fucking everybody over,
somebody got to look up and say,
whoa, let's read through this.
Let's double check this.
Something ain't right.
I got it.
I'm glad that y'all have
your opinion this guy's history is well known throughout the industry think what the fuck you
want i'm telling you why i feel how i feel about him and my stance on streaming and robbing artists
especially predator predatory and when you go about in a predatory way underage artists that's
never going to change that's never going to change i'm not telling y'all to change your minds have a
blast i got one in a million already yeah i got I got all this shit, so I don't care.
I got the old Tank stuff.
I got the old Tony.
I got the I'm Mr. R&B.
I got it all.
But don't disappear and then pop back up selling niggas music.
And niggas is still around, some of them, if you was lucky to still be here.
No, don't do that.
It's a case-by-case basis for me.
You got everybody
cataloged
that you kept
all the time
and now niggas
can't get paid
hey niggas already
don't get paid
from streaming
now you're not
getting paid
cause you don't own
none of the shit
that you make to stream
like
why is the case
tell me Mike
everyone's shit is different
everyone's situation
is different
huh
go ahead
everyone's situation
is different
in the example of
De La Soul which we'll get
into next they the record label didn't do their due diligence and clear the samples which is why
they're holding the contract over their heads that's the label fucking up gotcha in uh a
situation like taylor swift with scooter i don't know the full details of it but he paid for all
the shit to to get produced he owned it legally. I'm not going to just give it to you.
I understand that.
Even pub shit with Mace.
I went and read that up.
Yo, Mace is saying y'all offered to buy it back for two mil.
I'm a businessman.
I'm not selling you anything back for two mil.
Nigga.
That don't mean that I'm with kids getting robbed.
Just because you made me the offer of two mil
don't mean it was a fair market offer.
We talked about this shit.
I don't have to accept it.
We talked about this shit where Dame tried to buy,
sell off his original piece of Rockefeller.
And he said Hov tried to buy it off of him first.
He didn't like the offer.
So I'm going to go sell it myself.
Indeed.
Just because an offer made, I don't have to take it.
That don't mean it's a fair offer. It's not a fair offer. I don't have to accept it. You might think I'm going to go sell it myself. Indeed. Just because an offer made, I don't have to take it. That don't mean it's a fair offer.
It's not a fair offer.
I don't have to accept it.
You might think I'm desperate and you could just give me whatever.
No, you might think it's fair.
I don't think it's fair.
Exactly.
If you want to buy my house for 100 grand, I don't think my house is worth 100 grand.
I want 200 grand.
I understand.
I don't have to sell it to you.
So that's my only thing with the puff situation.
After reading more into it, again, you sign this contract.
And then there's some other shit I heard which i ain't gonna get into but you sign this contract just because you you disappeared and
then you come back and say i want to make an offer to buy my shit off fam fuck out of here i know
come come to me with 50 million so my point in that situation is cool if that's gonna be your
stance that you signed a contract these are the legally binding terms of this agreement. Uh-huh.
That's it.
Right?
Uh-huh.
You can't say.
No.
No, yes, it is.
That's my opinion.
Yes, it is.
You can't say, yo, for tanking them, it's bullshit.
It's you putting words in our mouth.
I'm talking myself.
I know, but you're.
You can't say, yo, for tanking them, the contract is some bullshit.
But for these niggas, it's not.
You can't say that.
You can't say, yo, he fucked. Everything that we're saying in response to you isas it's not. You can't say that. You can't say
yo he fucked
Everything that we're saying
in response to you
is that it's circumstantial.
I know.
And you keep saying
it's not.
The circumstances are
what particular person
is doing the fuckery.
That's the circumstance.
No.
No it's what's being done.
That's not true.
Okay.
I'm not taking
Diddy's side
in that
but I'm just talking about
the Mace situation.
It's what's done
how it's done within the verbiage of the contract. I'm not talking about Mace. I'm not taking Diddy's side in that, but I'm just talking about the Mace situation. It's what's done, how it's done, within the verbiage of the contract.
I'm not talking about Mace.
I'm not talking about, I'm talking about Puff has had a bunch of artists on his labels that have complained.
A bunch.
It hasn't just been Mace.
But it's been a bunch.
Yes, that is true.
So again, using Joe's standard, now when you got a bunch of niggas up under you that are complaining,
where there's smoke, there's fire.
So why the fuck do we see the smoke and the fire for this guy,
but we don't see it for everybody?
Bitch, I've never in my life said when there's smoke, there's fire.
No, I did.
I don't say that.
I did.
But you saying that contradicts me saying that it's all circumstantial.
You keep using Puff as the blanket example. I was just using him as an example.
There's other motherfuckers in the industry that are doing fuck shit.
I was just using him.
Use one of them.
Don't use one of the people who they can prove their value to the project.
How you know he couldn't do that?
I'm not saying that he couldn't.
He didn't.
He didn't.
He didn't prove his value.
Not to the artists.
They all took him to court. Joe, you sound crazy right now value? Not to the artist. They all took him to court.
Joe, you sound crazy right now. What does that mean?
Just because they took him to court?
You sound crazy right now.
Got it.
You sound nuts.
What does that mean?
Just because they took him to court?
No, I sound like I have 16 albums and mad music negotiations on the model.
No, but common sense has nothing to do with music sense.
So that may sound nuts to other people.
Common sense has nothing to do with music sense.
So what sounds nuts about what I'm saying this year?
So you're saying that the artist took him to court,
so that means he didn't have a value on their project?
That's not what I fucking said.
That is exactly what you just said.
No, the fuck it's not.
So at any point that you want to actually listen to what the fuck I'm saying,
so you can stop just arguing the point.
No, I didn't.
I said to the artist.
You did, though.
Then let me talk, then.
You did, though.
Go ahead.
Are you done?
I'm done.
I said to the artist, no, he let me talk then you did though go ahead are you done i'm done i
said to the artist no he didn't prove his value to them because every one of them took him to court
did they win that is what i said to them no they didn't no he didn't prove that i'm not talking
about to you or me or fez or what's really happening to the artist that he worked with
no he didn't prove his value to them they all wanted him far the fuck away for years for years forever no that's not the same with puff no it's not the
same with all these other niggas you want to keep bringing up that's your opinion that's all i'm
talking about it's just my opinion i know so when i bring up my opinion you interject no you keep
changing my words but go ahead i i use the analogy I said where there's smoke There's fire
No you didn't say that
I was paraphrasing
And you said
No I ain't say that
I ain't say that
No you didn't say that
I said that
His contracts are complicated
The verbiage changes
And once you sign them
It is binding
Period
That's all I'm saying
Fucking point blank
That's all I'm
In every situation
Once you sign them it's binding
Once you sign it
It's binding
So whether you're getting fucked
It's unfortunate that you're getting fucked
They don't need us to explain it.
It's binding.
Contracts are binding.
And I can't get with the predatory on child shit because, like we said, a child can't sign a contract.
I agree.
Okay, let me make myself clear.
At no point am I asking y'all what y'all think.
The music industry is predatory to Joe.
There's nothing that y'all can say here to change my mind.
I agree with you on that.
I'm agreeing.
The end.
I agree.
I agree. Take whatever you want. Hey, it's okay to change my mind. I agree with you on that. I'm agreeing with you. I agree. I agree.
Take whatever you want
from,
hey,
it's okay to fuck the kid.
It's okay.
You signed it.
I don't care.
I'm telling y'all
my experience
and every experience
that I read
when it comes to
predatory shit,
this falls under predatory.
I'm not arguing
with this binding.
Yeah,
it's binding.
They signed it.
No,
this is predatory.
So the fuck what?
They signed it.
I'm with you. I'm agreeing with that. We all agree with that. Wait, wait, it's binding. They signed it. No, this is predatory. So the fuck what? They signed it. I'm with you.
I'm agreeing with that.
We all agree with that.
Wait, wait, wait, but slow down.
And my stance on that don't change because I'm on the artistic side.
If you have a bad contract, me, Joe, I'm telling you, Joe Budden practices.
Not anybody else.
Me.
If there's a contract you don't like, rip it up.
Because if you're an artist, let me talk up because if you're an artist let me talk because
if you're an artist you kind of got to be happy you your job and how you deliver you have to feel
good about the morale if you value it see i'm an artist so i value that something wrong let's talk
about let's do it over everybody ain't like No. That's where these situations come from.
Because most artists don't know all that's in the contract.
Most.
Correct.
Like, y'all arguing me about shit that's standard.
90% of them don't know.
But you know what happens in the next year?
In the next two years?
They find out.
Yep.
They find out.
Or when they go try to do something and realize they can't and when they
find out they take the necessary course of action to try to change things mustard just did an
interview he was talking to gilly and he said listen man it's growing pains everybody got to
get fucked and you got to learn from it now you might not agree with that but in this business
i talk about a music sat all the time there it is unfortunately that is our music sat we are agreeing you're gonna come
in and get fucked yep how do you deal with getting fucked i'm not listening to none of this shit
amazing music by artists i love i buy my album still same i create my playlist still these little robbing thuggery stick up with no gun
games that some of these old execs is playing this this ideology is over with is all i'm saying
i'm not attacking him he can be the most bad hey ish to your point everything he did worked
so you can't attack everything he did is standard back then i I know. That was the face of music.
Hey, we about to move into De La Soul,
and from there we gonna talk about Puff starting a label.
My issue is,
all you niggas that did fuck shit back in the day as the standard,
I ain't mad.
It ain't the standard now.
Correct.
I agree.
You can't make it the standard now.
I don't care about this.
Nah, this ain't how we do things, Barry Hankerson.
Today, you cut your deal
with Ghazi
you do whatever
you gotta do
fat in that pocket
it's yours
you created it
but today
niggas ain't championing that
niggas mad at me
cause they think
I robbed somebody
I'm not disagreeing
they not
that's not where we at
that's not where we at today
watch the JoJo doc
and tell me
you signed it.
It's binding.
And if you could do that, then I'm going to give you a pound.
Because you an ill nigga.
Watch the Britney doc and tell me she signed it.
It's binding.
It's different.
My passion for this is different.
I feel for it differently than y'all going to feel about it.
Britney is a different situation.
Because that was court ordered.
You understand what I'm saying?
The court ordered her father to have control of her shit.
It's a different situation than a record label fucking her.
It's a different situation.
Oh, I just pay attention to the word binding.
Because once things are binding, they're binding.
Binding for me don't change when it's a record label.
If the court says something, it's binding.
Right, but she wasn't in contract with her father.
They just put him there.
They made him the executor of her shit.
Which is why my issue is with the word binding.
But again, when we are in agreement,
if Parks and I are in agreement,
Parks is a man, I'm a man.
He has his due diligence to do.
He could go hire his own attorney and look over it.
I could go hire my own attorney and look over it.
I gave you an opportunity to do your due diligence.
If you signed it, you signed it.
If you got fucked, you got fucked.
I'm not saying it's cool
for somebody to fuck anybody in business.
I'm not saying that at all.
Bro, we talk about this all the time
when we play Monopoly.
True.
Every time.
True.
When we do a deal,
we do a co-op deal,
we laying it all out.
Why?
Because that one thing you don't lay out,
you getting fucked.
Opens up a door
for a loophole.
And that's what happens.
And you learn from it.
Yep.
I done been fucked
by you in a deal.
I ain't really been fucked
by you in a deal.
I don't do that.
But you learn from it.
Yeah.
So you start trying
to lay all that shit
out in them 60 seconds.
Exactly.
And that's why I take pride
in like saying
I'm not in the music
business to people.
Like when they're trying
to give me music,
it feels like I'm saying a bad thing.
But for me, I'm so proud.
Some of this shit is so stupid.
This is stupid to me.
What is?
This.
All of this.
And this is common, normal practice.
I just think it's desperation.
I think it's just desperation.
You're a broke person.
Well, that's why it's predatory is because music targets desperate people.
But it's no different than these car lots.
I agree with you.
All of that shit is the same.
I'm not saying it's not predatory.
I'm saying that it is predatory across the board.
Yes.
And across the board.
You look for people who don't know better and get them to sign a fucked up payday loan.
All of this shit.
You look for people in fucked up positions.
There you go.
And you give them something up front.
They don't know what they're giving you.
No.
It's all predatory.
They don't care.
At that point, I don't care.
Just give me this, what I want right here.
I'm not thinking about the future until I realize, oh shit, I am fucked.
The credit card with the 30% interest, it allows me to buy some shit today.
Today.
I don't know what it's going to cost me.
That's all I care about is getting my shit today.
And then later on, you're going to crack me over my head with the fees and the interest and all that other shit.
But I don't care about that.
You can buy a $10,000 car with a 27% interest rate on it.
Indeed.
So, again, it's all bullshit.
But, again, it's just how the cost of doing business and our generation.
Right.
And it's knowing and not knowing.
That's what it is.
Yeah, education.
That's all. It all boils down to knowing and not knowing. That's what it is. Yeah, education. That's all.
It's all balls down to knowing and not knowing.
Your due diligence.
I'm not agreeing with this.
I'm just saying your due diligence, it's just that.
It's yours to do.
Exactly.
So you'll listen to Aaliyah's stuff.
If I was a streaming person and I wanted to hear it, absolutely.
Again, because again, I just look at it.
You can't pick and choose.
Yeah.
You can't pick and choose when you're on the side of the fuckery.
Yeah, but if you're picking, like he said, if you're picking, he's fucking somebody,
he's fucking somebody, he's fucking somebody, and he's fucking somebody.
He just wearing a condom. Well, this actually kind of goes back to the accusation versus the reality thing like we talked about in uh the no no no no no because this is
different because we have contracts right you get what i'm saying like hey if i did something
illegal or if i did something take me to court and win it right show it but that's not always
the case either because now i got more money than you i could tie you up my attorneys is
better than yours.
I could drag you in court for three or four years
till you run broke.
Also true.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I heard Donald Trump,
one of his contractors,
say basically they was like,
yo, take this settlement or not.
And said, yo, we got in-house counsel.
You got to hire an attorney.
We'll drag this shit so long that even if you win,
your attorney's going to get all the money.
You're going to get less than what we give you in the settlement.
My little brother just sued his former job
and got some big-name attorney to represent him.
And when he told me about this shit, I was like, bro, you're not going to win this.
He sent me the letter that his attorney sent to me.
He was like, listen, the attorney was talking king shit.
Yo, look, just settle because I'm going to tie y'all up in court for at least three
years i'm gonna tell you now they're telling and they settled when they looked at it like
shit he's right he's like i'm gonna tie you up in court for the next three years and it's gonna
cost you about and gave him a number and or you could just settle or you could just settle and
my brother called me he's like yo I won I'm like oh shit
you won or you settled
well he got some money
oh yeah
so they settled
so again
it's big bank
take a little bank
yeah
often times
a lot
and not just the music business
no no
no we talking about in general
yeah
entertainment
and a bunch of different entities
on enemies of the state
uh
Sadak
you don't say on enemies I'm thinking you talking about Will Smith no and a bunch of different entities. On enemies of the state, Sadak.
You don't say.
On enemies... I'm thinking you're talking about Will Smith.
I'm never talking about Will Smith,
by the way.
On enemies of the state,
it's Sadak about a kid and his parents.
They were targeted by the U.S. government
over the QAnon,
just some secret files,
the dark, dark web.
That the little kid had. And the family had to move to Russia, then they moved over here
and then they was looking like it was espionage.
It was all big shit, but at the end he settled.
Spoiler alert. The little boy.
He settled. But he was saying,
I ain't doing any of that. But I mean,
if a jury heard all the shit that they
was about to say,
I'm out of here.
Same thing that Grant said.
Right?
What are you going to do?
Can we talk about that for a minute?
Because that interview is going to come out this week.
I can't wait.
And I really can't wait.
What do you do?
They control the media.
They control what you hear, what you don't hear. We can't talk about Grant yet. What. What do you do? They control the media. They control what you hear,
what you don't hear.
We can't talk about Grant yet, though.
What the fuck do you do?
You are fighting an entity
that's unbeatable.
I don't want to talk about Grant.
I want to talk about
fucking Ghostface Killer
being in his basement
and nobody being none the wiser
and looking like total idiots
and buffoons
having to talk about
our top 20,
top 30,
top 10, whatever, in front
of Ghostface and not knowing that that was Ghostface because he had a mask on and he
was slimmer.
We should have really kept the shit running.
We should have kept it running.
That was amazing.
Like, he sat down.
He sat down and we just jumped in there and just started.
Yeah.
And we still didn't know it was him.
No, I knew it was him.
I didn't know it was him.
The nigga dapped me up and said, Ghost.
And I'm like, I ain't.
Like, I knew it was him. We started. I know Mad Nigga The nigga dapped me up and said, Ghost. I'm like, I ain't. Like, I knew it was him.
I know Mad Nigga's name, Ghost.
Yeah, like.
Watch Power.
That don't tell me nothing.
No, I heard his voice.
When I heard his voice, I knew it was him.
I didn't know it was him until.
Yeah, but you hearing his voice don't mean nothing to us.
Like, you build the houses.
You recognize that was Ghostface.
All right, cool.
Parks.
We should.
Yeah.
No, Parks.
We should be alerted
Parks really
Parks is
Parks is standing there like
We should be alerted
No
Parks is outside
If Ghostface is coming to your house
You should know
You should know
I have a red carpet somewhere
That I can roll out
Yeah
With a W on it
Yeah
Like that
Yeah
No that was
That was crazy
That was crazy
Nah but That was great I felt like No, that was crazy. That was crazy.
Nah, but that was great. I felt like shit the rest of the night.
That's crazy.
Nah, that was great, though.
Nah, that was super great.
Nah, that was great, man.
That was great.
It's telling that we argue like that all the time.
We haven't had an argument in a long time, though.
We haven't played Monopoly in a long time.
But tell them why we haven't played Monopoly in a long time.
So what else we got, man?
I'm not doing this shit, man.
Yo, it's over?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
Like, officially.
Yeah.
It's over.
Yeah, four-time champ.
Me.
It's over.
Four in a row.
Even Mike didn't do that.
He went to play baseball for a minute.
Yeah, you got to tell them.
Yeah, fans, don't be alarmed.
Ish is my arguing friend.
We do that casually, quick, and get right back to friendship.
No, let me just tell y'all.
Yeah, it's fine.
They do this shit.
It's fine.
Just to argue.
We yell.
We laugh.
It be shit that-
I love that about us.
I don't even think they be as passionate about it.
I need that.
I need that in one friend.
And you're that friend.
You two niggas are...
They just build houses
and go argue with me
about the music contrast.
God damn it.
Imagine me coming,
that's the wrong molding.
No.
You cannot build
a bathroom like that.
What are you doing?
You can't put them cabinets
up there.
You can't glue that there.
Just imagine that.
I think it would smack
the shit out of me.
Anyway.
Daylight Soul, man.
Daylight Soul.
Gotta give them
the flowers, man.
No, no, no, no.
I don't have to get
them the flowers first.
First, I can address
these fucking cocksuckers
that said I'm coming
in here to cry about this.
They said I'm coming
in here to give them
some tears.
You got tears of joy
queued up? I'll get it queued up if you guys get to give them some tears. You got tears of joy queued up?
I don't get it queued up if you guys get to talking.
Go ahead.
I get why they would say that.
Why?
You were sad, bro.
You cried.
You shed tears over the news when it first hit.
Yeah, but don't make the joke if y'all not going to believe that that's who I am.
See?
Don't make that joke.
Don't make the joke.
Oh, you cried over De La Soul.
Okay. that joke don't make the joke oh you cried over de la soul okay yes the person that cried over
de la soul who i've never met their contracts on tv that person is probably not going to de la soul
not that guy and if he is Darn good actor
And most of y'all know
I didn't get my daredevil role
When I tried out
I tried to get some acting gigs
They gave them all to Drake
Fucking Joey Badass
Who else?
Fucking Yachty's getting
Everybody getting them but me
I ain't that great of actor
Joey Badass killing them
Daylight
So I don't watch this show
So I don't know
It's good actually
You haven't watched it yet know. It's good, actually. This shit is...
You haven't watched it yet?
No.
It's not a doc.
Well.
Or and they're not
cocaine cowboys.
They shooting out.
They selling cocaine.
It might be.
Y'all don't have luxury eyes.
Oh, man.
He want to see 200 bricks.
He don't want to see 20.
No, I saw 200 bricks.
I saw power.
I've seen Kanan.
I've seen Scarface.
I've seen all the interpretations of the guys handling the drugs and what they have to deal with.
I mean, how many times you going to just keep repackaging something for me?
I am going to watch BMF.
But I don't care about how Kanan grew up.
I don't care.
It's good so far.
It's good.
Everybody says it's good.
But they told me the last one
was about Tariq
nah it wasn't that good
that shit was alright
it was okay
it wasn't bad
there was no bad acting in there
that's what made that bad
I root for 50 Cent
because
I like where he's going
and what he's doing
and I know what he has to
I know the challenges
I think I know
some of the challenges
that he has to come across
and I root for that
but
outside of that
like I'm happy for life
got picked up by a different network like I just for that. But outside of that, like, I'm happy For Life got picked up
by a different network.
I just like his business.
I thought they would.
I like his business.
IMDB picked it up.
Well, that's the thing.
You don't have to.
If I make For Life and we do two successful seasons on ABC
and ABC says, hey, we good on y'all, this is the ownership games.
Back to the Barry Hankerson conversation.
Hey, I own For Life.
There's 30 million other networks
and places that this could go and live
and we're going to continue this
and that's just that on that.
So I do look forward to BMF.
But De La Soul.
Two years after the decades-long feud
between De La Soul
and their former label Tommy Boy Records
went very public,
a resolution appears to,
let me cut this music off, A resolution appears to have been reached.
And if the report is accurate, which we've heard from De La Soul it is now, it officially
puts the plugs in control of their own legacy.
Talib Kweli surfaced with the scoop after years of being taken advantage of by the recording
industry in the worst possible ways.
De La Soul now owns all of the rights to their masters and is in full control of the amazing music
that they have created.
Round of applause for De La Soul.
Another group that has stuck together
and not been a part of no messy shit.
And this is why, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
We talked about that.
Yeah.
And that's why I fight with you
they signed whatever
they signed in 89
at some point
the artist should get
the right to
fight back
at some point
it don't have to be
the next year
the next year
but it shouldn't take
De La Soul
30 to 35
40 years
to renegotiate
a proper contract
it shouldn't have
took me 20 years
to get out of
my publishing deal
they recouped
in year one off Pump It Up.
Like, why do you need the other 19?
I signed it, so I won't argue with y'all, but I'm fighting.
I'm fighting.
I'm with artists fighting when it's right.
Now, you got to live with the results if you do.
If you're fighting somebody that adds a lot of value to your situation,
now they're magically gone and you never caught another lick again then sorry what we all got to live with de la soul i couldn't
be more happy for y'all i'm not gonna cry i did that already but i couldn't be more happy for y'all
unfortunately for me that's half the battle it's half the battle good for you round of applause
again now you young fucking stupid ignorant
fucks out there now what are y'all gonna do now what are y'all gonna do niggas gonna stop talking
to me about my hip-hop how i move in hip-hop what i do my views my plans my mood nah now what y'all
gonna do fans yeah now what hey go support appropriate coming off the barry hankerson Now what y'all going to do? Fans. Yeah. Now what?
Hey.
Go support.
Appropriate coming off the Barry Hankerson conversation.
Show it.
Y'all going to stream De La Soul?
Are y'all going to listen to De La Soul?
Who, the kids?
Anybody.
No, just the fans in general.
Everybody that has so much to say.
The streaming people.
New fight now.
You got your shit back.
You'll make the two pennies that we make from streaming.
I ain't doing too much rejoicing.
Great for them.
That's three niggas it's great for.
Too many artists. Too many the the the fight probably i probably won't be alive to see
the end of the fight between the artists and the machines but boy rage in the machine has never felt
more truthful than today congratulations to de la soul and the fight continues hopefully the fans
stream their shit listen to their shit,
learn their shit, appreciate their shit,
find out why for so many old heads this was an important conversation.
Find out why so many of us stopped in our tracks.
And I expect that disconnect to be large
because even in talking about the Lox Dipset verses,
the disconnect was large.
It was a lot of y'all that was kids when Dipset large. It was a lot of y'all
that was kids
when dip set was out
and a lot of y'all
that damn near wasn't born
when the locks was out.
What the fuck am I
talking to you niggas
about anything for?
About day loss.
Any,
yeah,
exactly.
Exactly.
Shit was the late 80s.
What the fuck am I
talking to y'all
about Saturday for?
You niggas never skated
without falling.
They never skated,
nigga.
They never skated.
Think about that. Without falling. No, they never skated without falling? They never skated, nigga. They never skated. Think about that.
Without falling.
No, they never skated.
Yo, this nigga's a retard.
You can't say that.
That's offensive.
I mean, we've offended
everybody this past time.
It's totally fine.
And moving on, again,
congratulations to De La Soul.
We love you.
Job well done by the people
with our cries for help.
Yeah, beautiful thing to see.
And I'm sure somehow in here, hey, Tommy boy, toodles to you.
Indeed.
Toodles to you.
Next podcast, I'm coming in here to ask how Billboard came up with their little list.
Which list?
Yeah, which one?
That little 20 top power players, whatever the fuck they was talking about.
Oh, that's politics.
You know that.
Yeah, but I wish everything Billboard puts out, they would say. Oh, that's politics. You know that. Yeah, but I wish everything
Billboard puts out, they would say, yo, it's politics
in this. Yeah. They say it by saying
this is our list.
I'm going to say it next podcast by asking
some questions that I think the Billboard
committee maybe should have asked to themselves.
I thought of something.
I'm not doing it now because we later in our
broadcast. But Billboard...
See, that's why I love being retired.
No.
That right there.
Love being self-employed.
No, not true.
No, no, no.
But being retired.
Retired.
I don't have to keep the relationship with Billboard.
There's plenty of rappers that are self-employed.
But they can't say, Billboard, what the fuck are you doing?
Nope.
Because they got to play that game.
Because they still got to play that game.
Yeah.
I like, ain't no song. Ain't got to talk to you niggas about it. I don't got the fuck are you doing? Nope. Because they got to play that game. They still got to play that game. I like, ain't no song.
Ain't got to talk to you niggas about it.
I don't got to talk to you niggas.
I can tell you, I think that's fuck shit.
It's like what the retired athletes doing.
When they get up there and start talking they shit.
Like, yo, I'm not in the game.
I ain't got to play nice with none of y'all.
Got you.
They put Tom Brady in the Hall of Fame.
We're not staying there, but I watched that shit and felt like he should have had a double-breasted jacket.
Wait, time out.
What?
You mean Peyton Manning.
Oh, one of them.
They put one of them niggas in there.
I'm like, Tom Brady just won the Super Bowl.
You think Peyton washed his legs?
One of them niggas in there.
Yo, what are you doing?
I'm like, huh?
They put somebody in there.
What the fuck?
Do you think he washed his legs? One of the niggas in there. Yo, what are you doing? I'm like, huh? He put somebody in there. What the fuck? Do you think he washed his legs?
I meant Peyton Manning, but Tom Brady said he was going to the ceremony to make sure
that Peyton Manning was retired.
I thought that was cute.
That's dope.
I thought that was pretty cute.
That's dope.
And Peyton Manning has never said the wrong thing ever still.
Nah, he don't flex.
He don't flex.
Still.
Facts.
Him, Beyonce, The Rock play. Still. Facts. Him,
Beyonce,
The Rock.
Usher. Usher.
Those are my three.
Usher too.
What,
that never says
anything incorrect?
Never.
Never.
Never,
ever.
You don't even know
nothing about these niggas.
The people that are like
global phenomenons.
We don't know nothing about it. I don't know
how The Rock drinks his coffee.
Kendrick might be in that conversation too.
Mad of him. There's a few of them.
He is. He keeps that level
of mysticism. Some people
want to be in front of the camera.
Let's not just brush over that.
What?
Did you say mysticism?
I ain't gonna lie.
It's the proper word.
Now, hold up, man.
No bullshit.
I sat here, man.
Nah, nah, that's him.
Nah, that's him.
He studied.
It's really him.
Nah, nah, you studied.
You read.
Nah, it's you.
You read.
Nah, it's you.
That nigga reading audio books.
He's reading audio books.
That nigga said mysticism.
But look, ain't stumbling nothing.
He said that shit like a record.
And it kept going.
Nah, nah.
Let's highlight that.
What's wrong with you, nigga?
How you even spell that?
That's black excellence.
Nah, that's not black excellence.
That nigga a white girl taught him that shit.
And she used that shit on that argument.
I'm tired of your mysticism.
I'm sick of this mysticism argument I'm tired of your mysticism I'm sick of this mysticism I'm tired of it
yo yo
yo
that's funny though
alright
did he announce
did he announce his plans
to launch an R&B only label
he says we can own the genre
because we damn sure
don't own hip hop right now
yikes big facts huge I'm biased Says we can own the genre because we damn sure don't own hip hop right now.
Yikes.
Big facts.
Huge.
I'm biased.
Y'all talk.
No, I think that's dope.
When he says that we don't own hip hop, does he mean bad boy?
No, I think he means like the ownership.
Okay.
Like, I don't know.
You know, music ain't really my bag, but who owns the labels?
Not us. The record companies, not the labels, the companies. He's saying that artists don't know. Music ain't really my bag, but who owns the labels? Not us.
The record companies, not the labels.
The companies.
Italians. He's saying that artists don't own music.
Multinationals.
He's saying that artists, and T-Pain just went on a similar rant.
He said that last year, music was responsible for like, and I'm not, don't quote me right
now.
I'm freestyling.
He said something.
17 billion.
Yeah, it was only 17 billion, exactly.
And he said that the artists made 12% of that.
All artists.
That's crazy.
All.
Every genre, every artist, there's a gazillion artists.
The artists made 12% of that.
That is insane, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, sick.
Because of binding contracts.
Mm-hmm.
I'm not, nah, fuck that.
Yo.
But, okay. I wouldn't have thought it was that small of a percentage.
I thought it was smaller.
I thought that was too big.
I thought 12 was high.
Diddy says, and I'm not signing
any artists because if you know better, you do
better. I'm doing 50-50 partnerships
with pure transparency. That's the
thing. Clap it up. The new label
is so that we can's the thing. Clap it up. The new label. Okay, clap it up.
The new label is so that we can own the genre.
We don't own hip-hop right now.
We have a chance to.
And I'm going to make sure that we own R&B.
End quote.
Oh, he goes on to say, I'm making a classic.
This album will be the first release since 2015.
Make a money, Mitch.
Mixtape.
Love Era has already turned over a new leaf for the end of the year
and Chucky Thompson
was working on this project
he was working on
a Puff project
that's dropping in September
I've been saying for weeks
how I'm super excited
about that
one thing for Puff
if there's one thing
he knows how to do
no no no
Puff has an ear for music
that is parallel
he gonna make an album.
You're going to make some shit.
Yo, that nigga could take us,
well, take Joe out,
us three in here
and have us in a group
and that shit will come out all right.
No bullshit.
That nigga has an ear for music
like no other.
Everything.
Be like day 17.
Which day would you be?
Day nine. Day 1, nigga.
Day 1. I see what you did.
I like that. That's your new rap name now.
Day 1. Day 1.
Fuck Day 1 doing?
Shut the fuck up.
Yo, if you introduce yourself
as Day 1, I might snuff you.
Yo, no, boy, you deserve it.
You deserve it.
Yo.
Yo, shout out to Puff.
Shout out to this label.
Can't wait to see the arms be accented that way.
What I like about this, and like he said in his statement, if you know better, you do better.
I love the acknowledgement part there.
I was going to touch on that.
Like, listen, I did arguably some whatever.
Whatever you want to call it.
I know better, and I'm going to do better starting now.
I'm doing 50-50 partnerships with Pure Transparency.
Like, that right there alone is, he should get another clap for that, man.
Yeah, he should hit the little button thing.
I do.
But when people do right, I'm all for it.
Right to wrongs.
Dog, you said $17 billion, and only 12% went to the artist.
Across all genres of music.
All music, period.
I just feel like any time you get a chance to play this song, you should play it.
Yeah. Yeah. period. I just feel like anytime you get a chance to play this song you should play it. Standing by my opinion
that Dre might have
a long day
if Puff get out of bed.
I'm standing by it.
I stand by it.
I'm standing with you.
Fuck you talking about,
nigga.
It ain't many with us on that.
Yeah, it's not.
It's not many with us on that.
You're bugging.
I'm telling you something. Who them? The rest of them. It's just me and you really over here. Yeah, it's not. It's not many with us on that. You're bugging. I'm telling you something.
Who them?
The rest of them.
It's just me and you really over here.
Don't look at Parks.
Don't look at us.
Don't look at...
What the fuck are you looking at him for?
I'm asking his opinion.
Oh, okay.
Puff has a long day with Dre.
That's a slugfest, man.
Puff coming in with some punches.
No doubt.
Oh, all right now.
All right now.
I almost want to say something to make the West Coast mad.
I think Puff might pass.
I'll be right there.
Hey, yo, Puff.
I've learned my lesson.
We'll believe it.
This is my belief.
I've learned my lesson.
So I ain't jumping out saying who going to mop nobody up.
You're not disrespecting Puff.
No, but I'm not going to disrespect Dre.
I'm not disrespecting Dre.
Dre is Dre.
But to say he'll get mopped and all of that?
Nobody said that.
Nobody said mop.
What'd you say?
What was you just saying?
Joe said Dre would have a long day.
Dre would have a long day.
I think they both have a long day.
Dre got a pack of lunch.
That ain't no easy win. If he wins. I don't think it's an easy win on either side. I think Dre has a pack a lunch. I think they both have a long day. Dre got to pack a lunch. That ain't no easy win.
If he wins.
I don't think it's an easy win on either side.
I think Dre has a longer day.
I think Dre has a longer day, too.
He might not get no sleep.
I think he takes more Tylenol than Buff.
That day.
I don't know about that.
Yeah, I agree.
I know y'all don't.
And I'm not never going to disrespect either one of them, nigga, so I'm shutting up.
I'm minding my business.
They both are who they are.
I know, but one has R&B in their wheelhouse and one don't really.
And that's what separates it for me.
They could both be hip-hop heavyweights, but
Jodeci gonna come on at some point.
And you gonna play Nate Dogg.
Different vibe. And that 112
is gonna hit. Yeah, different vibe.
The total is gonna hit.
Or Jodeci
come on and he go play some hard shit.
Because we've seen that happen.
We've seen, it's who dictates the narrative.
You can go that bag.
My bag is deeper here.
I'm not letting you get me out of this.
And I'm going to hard record classic anthem you upside your fucking head.
Yeah, I was thinking about this this morning, off of this Puff Dre shit.
Dipset, Bobby Brown, and Ne-Yo, and Teddy Riley.
I can't believe it went that way for him.
Neo didn't get mopped.
And Fabulous, for me.
I can't believe that one still.
Neo ain't getting mopped.
Oh, and Fab.
No, Neo got mopped.
No, not to me.
No, no, no.
Neo got mopped.
Not to me.
Only to you.
No, no, no.
You go.
I have that.
It was clear.
It was clear. We watched it together. Did we? I didn't watch have that clear it was clear we watched it together

The niggas I be thinking have more hits
and more flash and pizzazz.
They got it.
They just don't present it well.
They be getting smacked around, boys.
Again, I've learned.
We know they catalogs But
The matchup matters

Like Keith Sweat was up there Looking like he was In the gym that trip out of New York fucking stressful. Now the presentation matters.
Like, Keith Sweat was up there looking like he was
in the gym that two hours

That's a nice way to put it.
Keith Sweat looked like he just fucked your aunt.
Came out there swaggy-licious.
Now your aunt opened off him.

He did.
He said.
No, I know what he did.
What do you mean, why did this happen? We know why it happened.
No, no, no. This also happened.
Tell me the Dua Lipa rollout.
What she... What Dua
did. What happens when
the original is... What Dua
starts upticking and the remix
drops it, like drops down in
the chart, they switch it.
This has happened
to someone else
I believe it was
Nikki was taken off
of a credit
and it wasn't
people got upset
and they explained why
it's like yo
the original is doing better
than the remix is
so we switch it out
Ice
shut the fuck up
I'm telling you
what the explanation says
Ice
you're a fucking
what do they call it
you're an apologist
for something
I didn't apologize.
Anytime the word, no, but when the word apologist is behind something,
oh, buddy, just turn your Wi-Fi off.
Ice, this Dua Lipa song is five years old.
Nigga, shut up.
Shut up.
No, I'm telling you what they said, not me.
They are liars.
Definitely liars.
He offended the gays.
Dua fucked a girl, so she's not with it.
The end.
Hey, somebody else took him off a record.
Somebody else took him off some shit.
Who was it?
I don't know.
Who else took him off?
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, Kanye.
Kanye took himself off of the-
No, he pulled the song off.
He pulled the song off of some shit I never heard. I don't listen to none of Kanye. Kanye took himself off of the- No, he pulled the song off of DSPs. Pulled the song off of some shit I never heard.
I don't listen to none of you niggas.
It was the remix.
I don't care what y'all are pulling off.
To which one?
Na Na Na.
With 2 Chainz.
I didn't even know a Na Na Na song was out.
See?
He pulled it off DSPs.
The only Na Na I know is Ill Na Na.
There's a new Ill.
Is there Ill or Na Na?
Ill or Na Na?
Nah, they took Na Na off.
They said Na to Na Na.
All right, took it off.
Yeah, he pulled that off DSPs.
Wow.
Wow, you heard what he said.
That's my problem with streaming, though.
Not for nothing.
Oh, tell us.
Stream that pie, nigga.
No, I'm going to tell you.
No, move.
For real.
It's important.
Listen up.
That's my problem with streaming, though, is if I have this record downloaded in my phone from a DSP,
and then you decide, yo, I don't want this song out no more for whatever reason.
Oh.
Now, that record is now pulled away. I don't have that anymore. I can't listen to the out no more For whatever reason Oh Now That record is now pulled away
I don't have that anymore
I can't listen to the song anymore
It's over
You're borrowing the song
Yeah
You're renting music
That's my beef with streaming
You don't own this music
You're not
Yo I got this downloaded on my phone
No
You are renting songs
I'm paying
Each of you streaming platforms
For what you allow me
To listen to
Yeah there was that thing Where if you weren't Wasn't hooked up to wifi Each of you streaming platforms for what you allow me to listen to.
Yeah, there was that thing where if you wasn't hooked up to Wi-Fi,
you couldn't even stream a song.
Yeah.
They put a whole lot of roadblocks.
I was trying to Insta Live over the weekend and just jam out,
play some music with the people.
They cut that shit off 90 times.
They cut your Insta Live?
They're going to cut your Insta Live.
Hey.
They're going to cut your Insta Live.
You can't play music.
I put the little thing, hey, I don't own any of this stuff.
I tried to talk over it.
It didn't matter.
They cut that shit right off.
Really?
That's where we are now, man.
It's a new age monopoly going on, yeah, with music.
That's why this ownership talk is important, because of what you can do with ownership.
That's why.
So they own it.
They do what they want.
That's that on that uh my advice
to people and i'm gonna say this until i'm blue in the face and i will continue to say this buy
your music build your libraries man because yo when they decide no this record is gone when they
decide they stop doing shit for the look how about that well everything i used to saying is right
i'm adding to that style y'all
stop doing shit for the look like what you mean i get it but if who the fuck is dualipa to talk
about the baby anything i am positive that the label damn near begged the baby to jump on one
of these dualipa records to get some oh probably promotion marketing hood shit none of these dualipa
records even sound like the baby should be on it but but it's marketing. It's the game. If you play the game, it's the game.
And now here you go.
Because it was just the game, it's get him off my song.
Get him off my song.
Oh, my God.
I don't want to do it with this person.
Oh, my God.
And I understand that because she's an advocate.
But that might not even be Dua Lipa, though.
Well, she's saying it from her Twitter, from her everything.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Versus who's the other little clout-chasing white girl I used to say was clout-chasing?
Miley Cyrus, who said, hey, I'm a part of that community.
He was ignorant.
We need to speak to him.
Let's educate him.
Hey, reach out to me if you want to kick it.
That's what she said.
That's dope.
Yeah, I like that.
Super dope.
I didn't know she said that.
That's dope.
She said that.
She said that.
And that's that on that.
Moving on.
Moving.
Moving right along.
Is there anything else we need to touch here? Pause.
Yo, I don't know who needs to hear this.
Kanye's not dropping anything on August 15th.
Or 16th
or 17th.
August. Yeah.
He ain't dropping nothing in August.
What'd you think about this
Don C and Chubb's
little back and forth? I see what they're doing now.
Now I understand Khan's tweet a little more.
I understand Karen's comment a little more.
And I see what's going on here.
I see what's going on.
Can I say it?
Say it.
Everything's a rollout.
Now these two dudes I could see feeling like they could use each other.
Because these are two of the most we could use them dudes that we have.
Kanye's a Drake fan. Drake's a a kanye fan like i get it i don't think either one of them needs it but i do think that they wanted to be friends with each other past their disputes so i'm happy to see
it but the writing's on the wall i don't know who's on whose album i don't know if drake is
on kanye's album or kanye is on drake's album or Kanye is on Drake's album or both.
Or both.
Or both.
Or both.
No, both are on each other's albums.
Both of these albums don't have a single.
Maybe at some point the single for both albums
features both artists.
Allegedly, the single for Kanye's album
is the Weeknd and Lil Baby record.
I read somewhere that it actually came out in Japan
whether it be by mistake or what it was on
it was available to purchase in Japan
but I can see Drake hopping on there and smoking all of them
Weekend, Baby, Kanye, anybody on there
I can see them doing that
LeBron is saying
certified lover boy is coming soon
people my brother ain't fucking around
too many people have told us
this is coming soon
I think this is coming soon.
I think this is coming soon.
And I don't think Kanye is dropping until it does.
That little cartoon that's floating around, I believe it. That shit was hilarious.
That's hilarious.
And I believe it.
I believe it.
So we'll see, man.
Hopefully we continue to receive really good music for the summer.
Summer's flying by.
The music not so much.
Summer's gone. It's over. It's over. Just for the summer. Summer's flying by. The music not so much. Summer's gone.
It's over.
It's over.
It's over.
All this other shit, do you think Drake will roll it out or he'll just drop some unknown
shit?
He's been rolling out for a few years.
I think it's time now.
It's time.
It's going to come.
Okay.
They at the last phase of whatever the rollout is.
I mean, do you think it'll be a, hey, my album is out Friday type of rollout or we're going to give you a date?
Yeah.
No, he did all that already.
He didn't give us a date.
He still did everything else.
He went to Dodger Stadium.
He went to the projects.
He put an EP out.
He put an unreleased album out.
He made his friends tweet.
He showed us pictures in studio.
He broke his arm, rehabbed himself, came back.
The Raptors won a chip.
He's finished with his side he's
all of the side ventures he put cologne out he put a candle out the sneakers just came he fucked
the last 30 girls he thought of it's you know oh shit how's she doing i'm gonna fuck her that's
like there's no more it's a light music is coming nowga put out a fucking kick. Y'all want to talk about it?
Shit's horrible.
That's it.
That's our take.
That's it.
We ain't got to talk about that.
Like I said, the funny thing from that came because that picture went up.
Don C called it plan B or something.
And then Chubb said, yo, see us outside.
With the middle finger.
I don't get it.
They can put those.
Them shits look like they from Kohl's.
The Kohl's Nikes.
Them shits is the fucking Marshalls Nikes.
It's disgusting.
No, it was the TJ Maxx's.
Them shits look like.
Them shits look like the joints my mom's be like,
yo, what you thinking?
Yeah, don't laugh.
Word.
That's exactly what they look like.
The Coles joints.
Oh, man. Them shits terrible.
If I give this nigga a fucking private jet
and he hand me these bum ass sneakers back,
I will throw this shit in his face.
Look, just that fast
Joe fucked up

Dennis Schroeder we'll talk about on Patreon.
He's in the middle of negotiating them with the Celtics for the mid-level exception.
And he turned down $84 million from the Lakers when they tried to extend him
because he wanted a honey, right?
Yep.
He didn't know Westbrook was coming.
Nope.
Had he known Westbrook was going to come to the Lakers,
he probably took it.
Stoopy, though.
Stoopy, though.
Yo, $84 million.
Now you got to settle for the mid-level exception?
Yeah, get that nine.

Yo, you ain't shit.

Stay away from low-quality conversations with low-quality people.
That's what I got for you, man.

Take your time.
Baby, don't you rush a thing.

Anyway
And life is a series of moments
And moments pass
So let's make this one last
As if it's all we have

The baddies are insecure
The stagnant women wanna travel And the stagnant women want to travel and
the closed-minded women want you to teach them things grab an ib propane enjoy your headache
