Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't want no new grease, chicken. Don't give me no... No, where's the old grease? Some niggas be calling me ghetto for having the grease in the old joint. I need the old grease. You have to have the old grease. Yeah. I know, but that's one of the things that the new kids, the new generation kids, the
Starting point is 00:00:21 people that was just born, they saying that we was bugging out. For keeping the grease? Nah, you know them you know them you know them little kids be having studies to back they shit, right? They telling you who died from the old grease.
Starting point is 00:00:38 They telling you all the cholesterol that's up. They might even have a vegan version of the old grease. Yo, I'm letting y'all know from the rip. I feel like I ain't potted in about a year. Yeah, for real. I used to say I ain't like this whole, damn, every couple days we write back. I miss this shit.
Starting point is 00:00:58 That's what happens. That every couple days shit is important. I don't really understand. I do understand why, because potting costs. But potting once a week do kind of feel like it don't feel like cheating.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Yeah. I feel like cheating. I'm a pod once a week. I'm going to give myself a Friday off. Yo, shut up. I'm telling you my thought process in my head.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Because that can happen. But y'all used to pot once a week, right? Yeah, a million moves feels like forever ago. A really long time ago. A really long time ago. How long the pods used to be? Same shit. They've always been kind of long.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah, this shit had to be like three, four hours. Never four, but they've always been. We've hit four, actually for actually we have hit four before but that's when you know you pod and they be happy as hell when they see oh my god a four-hour pod is lit and that and that's and that's where you get tricky in your pod career because all potters no potter starts out saying i got three hours in the tuck form nobody starts out saying that everybody starts out with i got three hours in the tuck for him nobody starts out saying that everybody starts out with i got an hour do an hour yeah i got 90 then when money came in they got even shorter i got 30 minutes 45 minutes for a 10 episode order of a season i'm gonna do one season a year when money came and it got real tricky so we what the hell do you even pot about for 30 minutes? When money came in.
Starting point is 00:02:25 One topic. I was about to say, one topic. One topic. When money came in, that's when we did two a week. I remember that. That's when y'all started. Spotify wanted us to do two a week. In a moment of transparency, I was scared to death.
Starting point is 00:02:39 I was scared to death about that. That was one of them fork in the road moments. You could say no, because you put a lot of stress on the team, on the audience, on you banking on a lot to go right. Doing that twice a week. Like you could fizzle out.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Now you got to stay hot, double the hotness. Stress. Yeah. But we did it and it worked. And they still didn't give us a bonus in september you want to talk about stress and pressure me and ish coming in knowing what the pod has been having to keep up from two people that's not potting at all to twice a week that was pressure yeah that's hard to jump
Starting point is 00:03:20 into that's a lot salute to y'all y'all'all. A lot of people, fans included, don't really realize that shit was pressure. Especially the way I got the phone call. I didn't even know he wanted me to pie. Nah, I got a different respect for it. I used to just think it was shooting the shit. Yeah, nah. Which in technicality, it is just shooting the shit. It's barbershop talk.
Starting point is 00:03:41 It's different. No, it's not. I don't even call it shooting the shit No it is initially Right If you had to just come up here Once or twice It's really shooting the shit
Starting point is 00:03:50 Right Now when you gotta come here Twice a week You got And you doing Patreon shit Yeah Right Two three times a week
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah You gotta keep coming up With fresh topics Fresh relevant shit Yep To entertain the masses That shit is different And you gotta be funny That's not shit You gotta be entertain the masses, that shit is different. And you got to be funny.
Starting point is 00:04:05 You got to be responsible. You got to know what the fuck you're talking about. That shit is not shooting shit. It's just a lot of talking, period. Original thought. No, it's not. It's a lot of original thought.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's not shooting shit. So again, if you had to come up here once or twice, it's shooting shit. Right. Right? If you got to come up here
Starting point is 00:04:20 on a twice a week basis and then when you factor in Patreon, four or five times a week, that shit ain't shooting the shit no more. No. The shit has been shot. And you have to have something to say. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I know. Like, because everybody now is just talking into a microphone. Like you have to have, everyone has to find their way of disrupting. And when you look out there, that's what's happening. People are choosing different methods to go about that. We just be working, niggas. We work. The other good thing is we all like to talk to each other anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the cameras off, we can sit in here and talk shit for two, three hours. We do. We'll get here, and before we start, we done sat and talked for hours. Actually, conversations be funnier and better off mic, a lot of them. And some of the great part about y'all being kind of novices is y'all keep a hot take in the talk. Y'all keep something in the talk that I know the person y'all talking about is listening. I know that they listen faithfully.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And they're going to be upset. And I know how their emotional palate works and y'all niggas be nah I hated him forever nah he been trash nah I always tell people he's trash always like no I don't see

I'm coming out and confessing, man.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I'm just getting right to it. No, Joe Biden. Parks. Parks. What's that? What's that? Parks. This is the mistake I made, Parks. And I think people make this mistake a lot in life.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And your wedding really put that in the mirror for me, right? When people are like fixtures in your life, like Parks is a fixture in my life. When people are fixtures in your life, sometimes you might only see them as the fixture that they are in your life. Mm-hmm. I get it. Which is great if that person is important to you and you are important to me. Thank you. So, and the fixture that you are has always been like a really important fixture.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's the fucking engineer. Like, what are you talking about? You're going to see me when I'm down. You're going to see me when I'm are you talking about you're gonna see me when i'm down you can see me when i'm fucked up you see when i'm in the studio you're just gonna it's a brotherhood there in the rapper engineer relationship that we don't explore enough right but moving on from that at parks's wedding that was able to go away from me that was able to go away from me. Whatever I knew him, know him as, our relationship, I went in there as a complete stranger to the Parks... The other side. Chronology.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Right? So I get there, and Parks is a fucking cool white guy. He's cool when he's drunk. Just cool. And some people might think that he's just cool because he'd be with niggas. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:17:52 No. He's just cool. But anyway, I get there and Parks is one of the first people I see. He looks cool as a fan. I'm confused. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Am I off here? I tap him. Hey, man. wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Am I off here? I tap him.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Hey, man. What you doing out here? He said, nah, bro. That's her I got to hide. I'm chilling. Man, Parks was there like he was a fucking man. Wow. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Let her stress. I'm with my friends. Sam, I pull up. Parks is standing with a couple of his peoples. Like, he was a guest at the wedding. Like us. Yeah, man. Tall, though. But tall. You seen him.
Starting point is 00:18:36 He was hovering over all of his guests looking down on us like, ha ha. We were celebrating. It was like a beautiful fucking moment. We was chilling out. Cool. Right? But this is the Joe experience at the Parks wedding. Not about him right now.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I'm watching all the people. Now, Parks people's deer on time is Elmira's. Now, mind you, I had a beautiful drive up. It's nice. Did you go through the polka dots and all that? I did. I think I did. I think I did. That's right. Whatever route we went through, I was awake the whole time.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It was beautiful and nice, scenic, peaceful, and I'm a car ride dude. I'm a road trip dude. I had a little bag. This was a vibe.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Put the music on and that was the end of that. But we got there, right? Park's out there. It's fucking beautiful. In my experience, I'm seeing all these white people. All these white people.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Everybody's cool. Cool white people all these white people everybody's cool cool white people but as the night progressed i get to profiling the people i had no truth profound to people i'm in the wedding what'd you want me to lie no no you didn't do it go ahead you tell i'll fucking tell it profiling people at the wedding you got to do it at the wedding hey if i'm seeing two younger white guys that look like they was in music at one point oh those are the guy that parks was in a band with at some point in his life i could guess that that. I could just guess and see. Hey, the one dude over there that I thought might have been a little crazy, I was like, oh, OK.
Starting point is 00:20:09 That's the childhood crazy friend. I know that. I know that. I know this person. Everybody has this person. Yeah. So it was good to see familiarity in our chronology. Chronologies.
Starting point is 00:20:25 That's what I'm trying to say. It was good to see, and that's what hip-hop does. So now I'm emotional. Because this fucking white boy has the same story, and I'm seeing it on full display at a wedding. Oh, look at this nigga's fucking outfit. Oh, yeah, you was the third best rapper in the crew, nigga. I can tell.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I'm in there having a blast in my head, right? But at some point, as the night is going on, as the night is going on, before the wedding, after the wedding, I'll get into my fucking stories, but it's not about that. It's about the stories I was getting. It's about the stories I was getting. It kept coming up to me, thanking me like I did something. I ain't do nothing, but it was the humility it was that
Starting point is 00:21:07 same humility that exists in you and they was all just gracious two two of them niggas i was trying to run away from they was following me all around super cool guy shout out to them we smoked a cigarette together but as i was running away I was cornered by this white girl. She had me trapped, blocked away in front of me. I said, fuck. I tried to escape. She said, Joe, hi. I'm such and such. I don't know any of your music.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I don't know any hip hop music. I don't know anything about your life at all. And I'm gay. I don't even want to dig from you. But I listened to the podcast and you helped me. And I can't help but imagine how many people you and Parks and the rest of the guys and everybody up there helps people throughout the world like me this little white girl from elmira who's in the lgbtq community that's not too familiar with you but i listen to you and something resonates i listen to y'all and though yes a group of guys she gives me that whole spiel thug tears I'm like, that work? Nah.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Nah. I guess I see what you're saying. That was the heat. It was sweating a little bit. Why she did that shit? Why did she do that? Don't do that, man. Now I'm crying right in front of the dudes I was trying
Starting point is 00:22:40 to escape. But I'm crying and it was a lot of those conversations there, right, but I'm crying. And it was a lot of those conversations there. Right. And I'm looking at people look at you with their respect and their admiration. And they're all just so extremely happy for you. And this is before we even get to the fact that everyone thinks you actually found the partner that's perfect for you. We didn't even get to that yet.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Like, this is amazing to me watching this shit in full effect at this fucking wedding that I thought I didn't want to go to, but now I don't want to leave. Now we got a problem. That's how I feel. Now we got a problem. I ain't not leaving this shit. At one point, these Spanish chicks are going to start talking to niggas in here. Hey, at some point, this music is going to come on. These drinks is going to kick in.
Starting point is 00:23:21 That patrol going to kick in. Guess what, buddy? I ain't the only one enjoying these little meatballs. At some point, they just going to get full, feeling good. And sure enough, that is what happened. But I mean, just to be able to see. I don't want to get too much. I don't even want to cry here.
Starting point is 00:23:38 But to be able to see the role that you played in everyone's life from Elmira that was at your wedding from parents to sisters to nieces to it's like like I was even crying in like my little brother's 13 like they coming up that age them niggas know my birthday now hey dad we're gonna get a birthday gift like we're there in the family yeah so when your family is like hey i'm park's niece but you're grown like you understand like hold up parks ain't just mixing records dog whoa uh-uh and then the same things i'm going through like now you kind of going through so at the end of the night i'm doing all of this observing and i'm gonna shut up because i want to hear from you at some point even though you should not even talk you should be free to just fucking scrub your knees today surprise you even here but anyway uh damn what was i just about to say
Starting point is 00:24:30 you said the end of the night you was observing everything and your correlation to your own life oh end of the night or no not the end of the night but toward the end of my stay the parks come sit down with me it's one of the older white guys we was chilling preem is drunk at this point it's a blast in here I ain't even get into why this was such a blast but it's just a blast so far and Parks sit down and we just get to talking and we just get to having

I like the order of the speeches. The first best man got up there and said, I was born with Parks. He was born together. That's my brother. That's the end. Born six days apart. No, what I heard, I heard him say, y'all don't have to say nothing else.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Salute! You got it, dog. And then he left and then Brian gets up there and starts talking about yeah when parts got to new york it was lit like oh it's covered birth new york yeah past present so now i'm stuck thinking about how this dude this tall white dude from elmira could have gotten to New York and lost. Yeah. And failed and fell flat on your fucking face like most people do.
Starting point is 00:29:31 We see him come to New York and do it. We see him go to L.A. and do it. We see niggas think they ready for prime time and get to the big city. And it ain't quite that. You're not really him yet. Right. Got me to how I felt about Parks when I met him. I hated Parks.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Wasn't the best engineer for me. But learned from a dude that was ill. He got ill. Then the clientele got ill. And maybe the money didn't get ill yet. But who I'm working with got iller and iller. And now I got my own artist and that got iller and iller. Oh, shit, the pod worked out. I'm on the mic here.
Starting point is 00:30:04 We iller and iller. Oh shit, the pod worked out. I'm on a mic here. We iller and iller. And now everything's ill. Dope. It's a beautiful thing. That's dope. It's beautiful when it's true. It's beautiful when that's really the essence of it. Like social media been around.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I got the alert the other day. Felt like a piece of shit told me I've been on Instagram like 10 years now or some shit. Or almost 10 years. I got the alert the other day. Felt like a piece of shit told me I've been on Instagram like 10 years now or some shit. Or almost 10 years. I was like, cool. Twitter, I knew I was there
Starting point is 00:30:30 from the start. But when I was an Instagram grandfather, that was a hell of a shit. But my point is, it's been there long enough. Many of us have, we've been there
Starting point is 00:30:40 when it was weird to meet women there. Yeah. We've been there for follow trains, titty Tuesdays. We was there when it was weird to meet women there. Yeah. We've been there for follow trains, titty Tuesdays. We was there when all of us was ignorant and stupid. A lot of y'all try to act like y'all wasn't there
Starting point is 00:30:53 for that part. I seen did you. A lot of y'all made friends, lost friends, niggas went to jail, niggas killed niggas, niggas scammed. In a 10-year sample size, we've all watched each other is what i'm saying that's what i'm saying we've watched each other
Starting point is 00:31:11 so to watch that movie and it be from somebody that you was there with and that you love and that you care about and that you respect and that you know respects the craft and the culture and just everything has added respect and just value to all of this different shit that I've inserted him into. Like you've been inserted. Like you've been inserted. Like you've been inserted. Like everybody in Video Village has kind of been inserted at some way, one or the other.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Eric's saying, no, he'll still be working all this time later. He's still trying to leave. See all that shit we had to do for him back there, make it pretty? The guy had to split the screen, give him his own little space. They had to treat him. Now they're going to Durant treatment back there. God damn it. But I'm just saying, that's what I was stuck with at this wedding.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I spoke to Park's parents, more of the same.. I spoke to Park's parents more of the same. Everybody I spoke to, they're more of the same. Like what else could be said? Now I'm looking for a wedding. Somebody need a wedding to go. Somebody better get a wedding poppet. Now I'm the wedding hopper.
Starting point is 00:32:19 That did it. Why was Lord finesse? And that was full circle for me, by the way, Lord finesse, the person that kind of taught me how to rap his name is dutch that's lucky's brother uh and lucky is darian's brother darian was murdered i rapped about it and blood on the wall and dutch i might have never rhymed about but i love you rest in peace dutch favorite rapper was lord finesse okay so of course my intro to music is fucking digging in the crates of Laura Finesse.
Starting point is 00:32:48 That's why it's funny that Ian and Preem and that whole shit and this and this and Parks and that was his. It's all funny. Like, do that. So that's what I was sitting there with at the table eating the meatballs when Laura Finesse was getting ready to DJ. But it was a scary moment for me because I love Lord Finesse. And I know that's fam and premiums here. Maybe this is a fam hire. Maybe you about to get up there
Starting point is 00:33:12 and fucking big L me to death. Nah. No, sir. No, sir. Buddy. He's small. They're just musicians, bro. Bro.
Starting point is 00:33:21 No, I'm stupid. And they old. I was stupid, too. And I'm stupid. No, no. And I'm stupid. Me, I was stupid too and I'm stupid and I'm stupid me too I didn't expect that I wasn't ready for that
Starting point is 00:33:29 but all them niggas could do that hold on Biz Markie rest in peace D-Nice all of them they get up there
Starting point is 00:33:35 they get the Q-tip we were still inside look look we were still inside but I didn't know cause Lord Finesse to me was just always one of the greatest rappers ever
Starting point is 00:33:43 I didn't expect that I never said D-Nice was one of the greatest rappers ever. That's the monster. I didn't expect that. I didn't put him. I never said D-Nice was one of the greatest rappers ever. Right. I never said that. Bam, we still inside eating, and he's just starting. Right. The three of us, we just, yo.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Nah, he, yo. Yo, yo, wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Wait, wait, wait. Like, he was just going. Dance floor was empty. Nobody was out there yet. Well, nobody paying no mind.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah. Everyone was still eating. I paused my meatball. And he's killing it off the rip. Yeah. Wasn't nobody paying no mind. Yeah. Everyone was sleeping. I paused my meatball. And he's killing it off the rip. Yeah. It wasn't a warm up. All right, let me try. No, he came out the gate.
Starting point is 00:34:11 No, I looked at the side and thought the opener was on. I said, oh shit, the opener about to whip Finesse ass. Yo, but this opener is making it hard for Finesse. But that was Finesse. No opener. I got this. It don't matter. Nobody's on dance floor.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I got this. And he smoked it. He smoked it. I'm going to make y'all get out of here. No, and that's what happened. I'm going I got this. It don't matter. Nobody's on dance floor. I got this. And he smoked it. He smoked it. I'm going to make y'all get out of here. No, and that's what happened. I'm going to make y'all get out of here. And they got out there. No, I'm not going to say they.
Starting point is 00:34:32 We got out there. Round of applause for the job that Lloyd Finesse did. The job that DJ Camille did. Yeah, and Preem started getting on the mic and doing his Preem thing. Yeah, he emceed the reception. And I don't think I ever saw that. I never. Yeah, that was crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:45 That was ill. He was killing it, though. Yeah, he wasceed the reception. And I don't think I ever saw that. I never. Yeah, that was crazy. That was ill. He was killing it, though. Yeah, he was. He brought a different energy. Automatic. I mean, the music was already killing. Bro, that was... But then you get Preem up there talking shit,
Starting point is 00:34:53 and it was... You seen Finesse DJ before? Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure Parks has. Yeah. But this is my thing with Preem, even, and maybe I'm just overanalyzing Virgo. I know Preem to be Prem.
Starting point is 00:35:06 So my entire life Prem has been Prem. He's been great. My brain is already structured to say this person is great at everything. Got it. And Prem is in hip hop.
Starting point is 00:35:21 So Prem, when I'm hearing you on Illmatic, okay, I get it. I'm hearing you on Ready to Die. I get, when I'm hearing you on Illmatic, okay, I get it. I'm hearing you on Ready to Die, I get it. I'm hearing you on all my favorite albums. So I get that side of you. And that's where I know you to be great. Here, I saw Preem be a 50-year-old man that off the turntables and off of a beat machine watch how i control this to people who have no idea who i am probably like they don't know my greatness that was the
Starting point is 00:35:57 ill part that was the ill part like he made he left an impression it was the 60 70 year olds 60, 70-year-olds while Preem was rocking, smiling, toasting. He went over to him, danced with him. His suit was sweating at one point. This was a different function. No, he really controlled that crowd.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I hope I'm saying this to the... I don't even give a fuck if y'all understand, but I hope I'm painting this so that you just understand. But if you've been to a wedding, like a good one with like one of your good good people you should have made these these note these realizations had these feelings come up that it was deep for me it was deep for me it really had me sitting there questioning my fucking failed
Starting point is 00:36:38 relationship history like wow wow nah that'll do it. That'll do it. A good wedding? A good... With two people like that seem like, yo, they just super duper happy? Oh, come on. You be looking at yourself like, I'm a fucking nutball. I'm a failure.

Even that was perfect. You ought to get your ass cracked. No doubt. But it wasn't. But see, Elmira, South Park fans, a three-hour drive. No, that's nothing.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I'm out. If I could get the deal three hours this way, I'm there. I know what some people up here are dealing with, that booked weddings and now the COVID and the waiting list and the back order and blah, blah, blah, blah. I know what's going on. So if you could drive that way, if it's close enough for your people to get to. That wasn't too far.
Starting point is 00:42:29 It still felt like we was away. And it's an airport there. So if people like Finesse flew in, like certain people flew in. To where, Rochester? No, Elmira. There's an airport there. Delta and all that. So she couldn't have flown.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Talk to you later. It ain't the most shit to go direct, but you can get there. Nah, that shit was different, bro. If I was there with a girl, that would have been a different experience. That was a lot of fun. That would have been set up the way it was supposed to be, but listen, that was terrific. I didn't leave the after party until about 3 in the morning, and they were still rocking. He was up until 6.
Starting point is 00:43:04 At this point in the pod I'm certain that the listeners are saying yo dawg Joe and Ice shut the fuck up if the groom is right there nah I like hearing it from y'all

Starting point is 00:44:10 Because how do the atheists think the star, who made a star? Like, I just have really simple questions for these atheist niggas. They believe in the Big Bang. What Big Bang made a star? The star blew up. It was just an explosion out of nowhere. Who made the explosion? No, it just happened.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Who made the things that made something explode? It all goes back to something. I agree with you. Why they won't go to the origin of something? They swear it was the Muslims. Come on, Corey.
Starting point is 00:44:38 I'm going to talk to his ass off. All right, come on, back to this wedding. Where was we at in the wedding? Oh, man. I was just...
Starting point is 00:44:46 I'm blown away. Yeah, I was blown away. I'm blown away, and now I need to be at another wedding. We had a blast. Someone has to get married. Someone has to find love. And do it right. Spend the money.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Do what you got to do. Set the vibe. Set the vibe. You see what Shorty said. She doesn't want that type. She don't want a big wedding. And Joe's like, nah, fuck that. You got to have a wedding.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I got to talk to your girl. Nah, he wants to talk to her to change her mind. Because he wants another wedding to go to. It's a lot of work doing a big wedding. I'm not going to lie. But it was totally worth it. She don't want it. It was totally worth it.
Starting point is 00:45:13 So I'm glad she don't want it. I think I'm getting cool enough with your girl to be like an influential force in the relationship. That's my favorite. Yo, that's not your favorite shit? No, it's not. Like, when you can say something, and it might I mean, it might sway something. Look at this nigga, yo.

No, you get that, you get that joy and yo i seen um i seen oh but the point of me bringing it up was to say the fact that for parks to be able to be celebrated in the now by all of his right i get to see it they don't have to imagine nothing they get to see it like for me and then i'll get off of this mushy stuff i don't want to make nobody cry i'm here to pause today i told you i felt like i've been a while um my brain i just been stuck at home with my own thoughts and i don't think that's fear to me
Starting point is 00:50:10 like i have to tell y'all some of the stuff i've been thinking um but yeah back to being that that age group in the like when you're turning the escalators going up the family tree, right? Granddad left you up. Son's getting older kids. Right. So, so you get that moment when like, I watched my mom take care of her mom on the way out, like show up,
Starting point is 00:50:34 like show up soldier style. Fuck hospice could be there. I'm near 24, seven, her network of people showing up, holding that down. I watched my dad do the same thing with my granddad. Then why am I bringing this up right now? you started talking about how uh your family oh wait wait the family tree the family tree uh the escalator the escalator right so you watch those things and you hope to only be strong
Starting point is 00:50:59 enough to emulate it right because they held it down like you hope to be at a place in life where you can be that person when it's your turn yeah so maybe when that starts to come a little earlier it could get spooky if you follow me like do you follow what i'm saying a thousand percent yeah yes like i watched my dad kick in for his dad i'm sure he was doing it the whole time. But toward the end, I really saw it kick into overdrive. Like, did it. Like, oh, shit. This is real shit. Like, can I do that?
Starting point is 00:51:34 Can I drop? Will I be at a point in life where I'll be able to drop everything in my life? Because you'll want to do that, of course. Of course. But will you be able to? They just did it. I think you would. Of course.
Starting point is 00:51:44 But now, look, Park sits down at the end of the wedding and says, yo, I could envision this in Elmira. And that can happen in the foreseeable future for parents. And that time has come. I'm doing shit for my mom. We fighting over fucking toilets to buy and all types of, you know what's going on over there. But it's like, I'm there.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I never envisioned that. Like I bought my dad a car two years ago, like for his brother, never envisioned like your time, your time, your time. You going up, buddy.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It's your time. So while that's beautiful and it should be celebrated, it can be scary. I want to highlight that for you. Super scary. That's the scariest part of life right now. Like I'm looking at Parks. Parks is married.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yeah. Word. Nigga, we old. No, no, you're not feeling it. You're not feeling it. No, I'm just saying, but that's a progression. At the wedding, right? And I didn't see Rim too much, nor did I want to really speak to Rim too much.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Like, on wedding day, like. Do your thing. I'm trying to stay out the the bride's way she was the opposite though because i we spoke to her a lot i know y'all don't dick she was really cool yeah yeah like she but that's your job though like you got to make everybody feel comfortable and show your ground around and she she changed she was like, yo, this is my third fit. She just kept running around saying,
Starting point is 00:53:06 yo, I'm a whole ass wife now. I was like, yo, you got that. Well, that's where I was getting to. The one little interaction I had when I was going to the meatballs again
Starting point is 00:53:16 for like the... We fucked the meatballs and the shrimp up. Chris gets busy. Yeah, I was on Chris' dick when he introduced me at the end of the night. Yo, this is the guy
Starting point is 00:53:22 that made the meatballs. I was like, whoa. Take some head. What the fuck? The meatballs, it's not real head. Anyway, but fucking, so I see Rem. And I looked, and I don't know what to say to a girl. Just got married.
Starting point is 00:53:37 You're fucking in bliss. You're happy. You're in love. I'm a piece of shit alone. I say, hey. How is it? How you feel? that's what i could muster up and she said dog i'm a whole ass wife she was so chill i'm a whole ass wife i was like yo you got no you right you're right salute right what that what else needed to be said? Nothing. That was it. That's it. That's all the women be wanting, yo.
Starting point is 00:54:06 That. Small shit. It's small, but it encapsulates a lot. A lot. It's weighted. It's weighted. That's weighted. Yo, I'm a whole wife.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It's weighted to the women community. Man, Rim told me to change your name, which I did, and I sent it to you. She's like, yo, save him under Rim's husband. Oh, I got to do to now. Your name in my phone, save him under Rem's husband. Oh, I got to do it to him now. Your name in my phone is Rem's husband now. You know it. I'm sorry. She was like, send it to him.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Mr. Rem. That's it now. Sorry. That's it. It has to be this way. But you knew it was coming. I'm cool with that. One other person, yo, Rem's mom.

Yeah, he was. He was knocking shit over. He was getting angles and shit. Yeah, he was clumsy up there. Nah, he was actually kind of smooth. He was on his photographer bag. He was taking it serious. Because I felt the way. I've done that for too many exes

I was like, I could probably FaceTime or Zoom. I was like, I don't want to do that. I want to not hear what y'all saying. You know what I mean? I had to be here. But I'm not all that here.
Starting point is 01:00:50 But I'm here. I didn't even see you. All I see is like a floating crown. I see an orange aura and a crown. Why is that fucking crown levitating like over his head? That's just the alcohol from the past week still hovering over my body. Yeah, you cut your curls. Floating.

He said, la, la, la, wait till I get my money right. He got it right. He got it right. I know. No, but he was there for the struggle, so he could do it. He could talk about it. That's dope. No, nigga,
Starting point is 01:02:30 you stepped into money. You can't keep saying it. You came in when it was up. You stepped into a tax problem. I'm talking. Nigga. Nigga. Hey, wait.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Hey, whenever y'all want to talk about that, y'all can too. Go ahead. Get to it. Get to it. Get to it. Nigga, no, I looked up some shit. No, you don't have to look at me. I have been in this position long enough that I know the head crack when it come now.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I didn't know. I'm cool with the head crack now. I don't know. Because the head crack coming means that you're doing something right in America. Because the head crack coming means that you're doing something right in America. Now, you don't like the system and the infrastructure that America has set up because you learned to scam every step of the way. But see. But you get it.
Starting point is 01:03:13 All right. So when you've been known to look for your little loopholes and scam your way through it. I'm not even listening. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not even listening. No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Listen to what I'm saying. I know what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Go ahead. I'm going to let you finish because I'm going to step on that shit like a. I don't even step on ro, no, no, no, no, no. Listen to what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. Go ahead. I'm going to let you finish because I'm going to step on that shit like a... I don't even step on roaches. I love roaches. Just hear me out. Hear me out. I'm talking about me when... I love roaches.
Starting point is 01:03:35 When I'm... When you used to... I just don't want to live with them. When you used to looking for... I moved off the block where the roaches could come from the hole. Like, wait, why do y'all have a ton of mad ways to get in my kitchen? I'm leaving. Listen, this is what I'm... I didn't a ton of mad ways to get in my kitchen? I'm leaving. I didn't kill all of them.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I left. This is what I'm saying. Y'all got it. Yeah, y'all have it. Every spring, the ants just line up and dance in the house. It's like,
Starting point is 01:03:56 all right, I'm out. Go ahead, Ice. When you're used to looking forward to tax season because you know, you're getting your little refunds. You know all of that's coming. But then then you start to learn what's about to happen hey pal welcome yeah it's like oh wait wait wait what you mean oh that little earned income credit ain't working none of that shit nothing your
Starting point is 01:04:21 little eica working no more. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, I didn't know that is what I meant. That's what I was trying to say. You're used to looking forward to taxis. I can claim this. We up. We lit. No, we not lit.
Starting point is 01:04:36 La, la, la, la, la. Wait till I get my taxes. Well, and that's why I like ICE coming to that realization, right? Because, and we moving on from this. Ish. Capitalist. Capitalist. You can't even spell capitalist without ish.
Starting point is 01:04:49 I didn't even say nothing about anything. Capitalish. That's dope. My man plays. But listen, this is why I'm glad you're saying that, Ice. Because your story, for me, I was going to step on it and say, you don't start. Your story don't start there.
Starting point is 01:05:02 It starts at, no, I'm happy. No, I'm content. No, no, no, I'm happy. No, I am content. No, no, no, I'm fine in life. See what them four months are doing? No, no, no, no, no. My life is perfectly fine. Everything in my life is set up the way I want it to be. Hey, guess what?
Starting point is 01:05:17 If I never make another dollar, then I'm going to be. Now, wait. Let me push back real quick. I was wrong. That's a hell of a back real quick i was wrong got it got it cheers cheers cheers all right so i don't have nothing else to say to you, but I'll talk to some of the other people out there. Let me push back. One of the problems with the whole capitalist versus the non-capitalist, right?
Starting point is 01:05:55 And I'm using the word capitalist loosely, of course. But the people on the money side, the money and the ice side, I'm happy and I'm content versus now I got to get out of here and get it. The common misconception is some of the people on the content side look at'm happy and I'm content versus nah, I gotta get out of here and get it. The common misconception is some of the people on the content side
Starting point is 01:06:07 look at the people that's chasing the bag and think that you're chasing a bag to be happy. They think that oh, you're a little too obsessed or concerned with the bag. You're missing something inside. And while that
Starting point is 01:06:24 might be true most times. While that might be true a lot of the times, I're missing something inside. And while that might be true most times. Sometimes it is. While that might be true a lot of the times. I'm never saying that. It's true a lot of times. But the times where it's not, there's some people that just learn, oh, when you get money, they take it. When you get money, you don't have enough money.
Starting point is 01:06:45 You need more. And saying yes, yes, you always need more. And that's the problem. That's the trap. That's the hamster wheel. So the niggas that was on the side of,
Starting point is 01:06:57 no, I'm happy, I'm cool. Y'all was getting money at the end of the tax return. Y'all was toasting, throwing it up. Nigga, it was crab legs. We lit. Shh. We got the receipts. Those crab legs was for a business meeting.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Fucking monster. Corporate somebody. Hey, hey, hey. But anyway, yeah. So I'm all for that. Listen, we got a lot to get to. We have a lot to get to. Y'all got to fill me in because I wasn't paying no mind to nothing.
Starting point is 01:07:23 I didn't even look at my phone for fucking six straight days. You said new music came out. I wouldn't know. Well, I was listening to Lord Finesse mashup come together with some shit that sounded crazy. Well, while you had an epic, phenomenal event happening, the music world also had an epic, phenomenal event happening. I got to it a little late. We've been waiting a long time.
Starting point is 01:07:48 And finally, lick a shot, thank God, we finally got the Silk Sonic album. They dropped it on Friday. Unbeknownst to the fans, they didn't say a word. They didn't have a single. Silk Sonic just dropped. Only one problem.
Starting point is 01:08:17 It's January 2023 or whatever they said. No, no. It wasn't Silk Sonic. It wasn't Silk Sonic. That's what he talking about. I know what he meant. Oh, I see what you're doing. I see what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It wasn't Silk Sonic. Who was it then, Joe? What's up? But it was Silky. What's up? I'm here to talk during the day. Let's talk. Let's get to it.
Starting point is 01:08:39 So who dropped? It wasn't Silk Sonic. Silk Sonic. Cotton Sonic. Polyester Sonic. Silk Sonic. Cotton Sonic. Polyester Sonic. Give me something that ain't silky but it's still kind of... Cashmere Sonic.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Silky Cashmere something dropped. Something dropped. Something dropped and when I played it, I said, oh shit. Silky Sonic dropped. Now, a big part of that, I was heading to Park's wedding, and for me, this album ended with a song called Wedding Cake.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And it's a pretty fly wedding song if you're playing and fucking the head off of your wife at some point. Like, if you really plan on really going crazy. It's not one of them lovey dubby jesse power baby it's you this ain't that this is todd dollar sign and divisions version of i'm gonna fuck you like a wagon keg or whatever they you know they're doing something stupid like that i'll play it for you but i'm listening to this project and i'll get i'll get away from my silk sonic joke i listened to the whole thing front to back, top to bottom.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I like it. It grew on me as I continued to listen to it. They had a lot of songs where I felt like I needed to make up with some women in my life. And by the time I got to the end, I said, wait a minute, man. Division, who they don't ever get the biggest push from labels. They don't. Both albums, I think, phenomenal. But they don't ever really get the push they need,
Starting point is 01:10:08 the budget they need, the looks, the vids they need, the awards show. You know all the things that R&B people need? Yeah. Ty Dolla, he's more of a mystery man. Because he's gotten some of the looks. Like, he does EDM. He's been on the Calvin Harris joints.
Starting point is 01:10:32 He's been on the slow Tiana Taylor joints. He's been on everything. He's been with the rappers. He's been with the singers. He's been on everything. And his last album, well, the album that starts with L.A., and that album was great.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Phenomenal album. But we're still waiting for his moment and that's where it's weird with him because he's had all the moments. But we're still waiting for his solo isolated
Starting point is 01:10:57 moment of I'm here and I'm that dude even though we all know it. Can he do that? I think so. Ty Dolla listen you can eat hot sauce alone. No, what I mean by that is,
Starting point is 01:11:10 and I think he even tapped into that with that last album by naming it featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Yeah, I think he continues to play on that because it's what's been fruitful for him. But if Ty Dolla $ign got the support from a label that Bruno Mars mars got it could look different he got to give us bruno mars music i can argue that his bag is crazy i don't think i need to give you bruno mars music for you to give me bruno mars attention i'm just saying he's had you look at the album
Starting point is 01:11:43 your girl not you, of course. It's a girl out there giving her man the same attention even though the last nigga fucked her a lot better. You don't need to give the same... You don't need to give the... Have the same thing to receive the same thing is all I'm saying. I'm not comparing them musically.
Starting point is 01:12:01 But from a label standpoint... If you're a label... If Ty Dolla gets the attention, and he gets attention, and if he got the attention that her got. But again, look at the names you mentioned
Starting point is 01:12:13 and look what they doing. He not doing that. Do you think he can't? I don't know. And that's where we'll stop that one because you either fall on the side of you think he can't or you think he can. But this is not about that.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Maybe the label don't think he can. Maybe. I don't know. Actually, I'm going to see one of them tomorrow and I'll ask about it. But these two got together and dropped this project and it all sounds great. me to wonder what their project would look like if they got a third of the attention or budget or marketing or audience or plays or playlists that silk sonic get this is like the hood silk sonic this is our ghetto this is our ghetto silk. Remember I kept coming here saying Silk Sonic just sounds so clean and pristine? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:13:08 This sounds dirty clean. Okay. Like, listen. Oh, can't listen because I didn't do the thing with you. Listen. Let me turn it off. No beat is dropped. No nothing is dropped.
Starting point is 01:13:29 But they took that sample, only the beginning of that Freak Me. What does that Freak Me do? Freak Me. Freak Me. But only the beginning and made it dirty from rip. From rip.

So who going to come say, yo, the bar is high? No, the bar is high. The bar is high.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Clearly the album isn't done yet. So. Correct. We were all way wrong with that. No, we wasn't. I came in here and told y'all the album wasn't done. Well, no, but when we first heard in, you know, until the last couple of weeks, we said, if these two got together, the album's been done. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Oh, yeah. We were wrong there. Yeah. Your skate told me that. Yeah, you did say that. You said, if that's the single, this album's been done. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we were wrong there. Yeah, you said that. Yeah, Skate told me that. Yeah, you did say that. You said, if that's the single, this album's not done yet. So listen, shout out to Division. Shout out to Ty Dolla $ign.
Starting point is 01:19:33 That album is incredible. Shout out to y'all, right? So then we move right along. SZA sneaking, she's sneaking music out through SoundCloud. Ah. She's doing that thing. Maybe that's why. She's sneaking music out Through SoundCloud She's doing that thing She's doing that She's doing that thing Yeah you know the thing they do
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah it is The thing that the greats do They got the secret SoundCloud They give you a record That sounds like it's the best record They ever made And that's a throw away Like their new album
Starting point is 01:20:00 It wasn't from like her official SoundCloud It was like a burner account No this was a hidden Secret SoundCloud right there I would place't from her official SoundCloud page? It was like a burner account? No, this was a hidden secret SoundCloud right there. It's her SoundCloud because she has it linked in her Instagram bio. It's hers.
Starting point is 01:20:13 But I'm not telling you to go look. I'm not promoting it. I'm just, if you look, you'll catch it. It's one of those. Is it still there?
Starting point is 01:20:21 They take it down. No, it's still there. It's still there. It's still there. I could play some of it, but I'm afraid. I don't want them to. No, no. But when people do this on SoundCloud, that's what they do it for.
Starting point is 01:20:33 I'm just telling you so you understand the math and the science behind it. They do it for what? SoundCloud is the place where whatever's not going on my album, whatever I'm not clearing, because they can come for you now, but just not on SoundCloud is the place where whatever's not going on my album, whatever I'm not clearing, because they can come for you now, but just not on SoundCloud today. Okay. There's no monetization. All the Jaquese freestyles over LMA shit can live on SoundCloud.
Starting point is 01:20:57 The label can't call and say, take this off of SoundCloud. Fam, there's a Chris Brown leak page that I'm sure is him or someone there and it's like 60 records and they just keep uploading. Yeah, so you have to... But it's only SoundCloud. That's the only place that you can do it without facing the repercussions from the labels. Remember the Instagram? They cutting me off of playing music. The labels have it
Starting point is 01:21:17 regulated. It's a monopoly. It's over for that. So this is the only place you can do that. But you rip the songs. You put them in your iTunes and that's that. But these these songs sound great they're leading me to believe that scissors close like i said i was wrong on the early august but scissors close and everything that we hear sounds super amazing and i'm and i want to celebrate people taking their time with albums right because when it sounds like you took your time it's incredible which leads me to cleo soul i know a lot of y'all don't know about cleo so we talked about it earlier let me tell you what cleo soul let me tell you what i what i normally do
Starting point is 01:22:00 uh i went by all her shit. That quick? Hell yeah. That shit sounded incredible. Nah, it sounded good. It sounded dope. It's just nothing. That's not for you? Really?
Starting point is 01:22:13 He's slowly changing. That's crazy. I don't see how you could not like what I heard. Ice Girl is way cooler than him. You probably have been missing the signs that I've been giving. Shout out to your girl, man. When Ice is fired from this podcast, I've got to ask his girl if she'll come. She'll come and be the fucking seat.
Starting point is 01:22:37 We've got to shift him, trade him out. She's awesome, his girl. But what am I saying? What am I saying? What am I saying? What am I saying? Oh, when we do Cleo Soul, because nobody ever heard of Cleo Soul, when I'm in the house, I just do this randomly.
Starting point is 01:22:50 I just put it on. It has never, ever, ever failed. This is on that old project I was telling you about. And you just let it rock. And by the time this gets to minute two or whatever, I'll speed it up. The beat rocks. Girls that really could fuck love when the beat rocks and it's sexy in the front. Let me break this down for you.
Starting point is 01:23:09 This beat is rocking in the front. It sound like Sade was there when it was being produced. There go the strings. Those strings come in. Hey, the girls that could really fuck, they getting ready to fuck. It's that little bongo. The bass line and the bongo. That's fucking music.
Starting point is 01:23:23 They know something is coming. This is tutelage. I'm not lying to y'all out there. And she let this rock for a little second. So I'm going to let it rock for a little second. I'm on my music appreciation. That shit is beautiful. She's bugging.
Starting point is 01:23:43 I'm going to buy it. Before a voice even't even come on Hey, your company should've asked you who's this by now And before you can answer, a beautiful, sultry voice comes in and does this Cold wounds It don't lose Oh, my Yo, see, this why the music business is crazy.
Starting point is 01:24:07 Like, for... I've heard three songs. She should be somebody's household name. Hell yeah. You get what I'm saying? Like, that would discourage me. Well, this is why the music business is tough. That would discourage me.
Starting point is 01:24:17 It's tough. It's a tough game. It is. Well, listen, so this is on the whole album. I'm just introducing the vibe because this woman is amazing, and I don't hear enough people talking about it. Look.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Hey, yo, you get some little want to be sophisticated thing, come up in here with a nice shoe on. Yeah. You're gonna tell me Will you keep me safe When I'm gone I almost feel like I be getting premonition sometimes. Like I be feeling like I fucking got like powers. Like I could see something before it happened. Before that, because I don't be knowing what album's dropping.
Starting point is 01:25:10 No more. I knew that Ty Dolla and them niggas was dropping. Cool. But then Friday got here. No, around Wednesday got here. And I said, damn, you know who I've really been thinking about? Cleo Soul. Like why she won't drop again?
Starting point is 01:25:23 And then she dropped like a secret album. Cool. A lot of pressure because your first effort was amazing and then she's pregnant on the cover and she's one of them artists that you know she like really writes her life and stuff so now i'm thinking all right she about to beat me down with like loving motherly shit she's not pregnant oh no it's a baby it's a baby it's a, it's a baby. It's a baby. It's a baby. I knew I was getting a baby from somewhere. But listen. If I
Starting point is 01:25:51 can Just listen real quick, though. I'm here to celebrate this amazing woman because she just keeps putting out really cohesive albums. It was easier to run This is only 12 songs. It's an hour just keeps putting out really cohesive albums.
Starting point is 01:26:08 This is only 12 songs. It's an hour and 10 minutes long. But some of the songs are seven minutes and they change two and three times. The music keeps changing. That's real musicianship. Yeah, I'm just saying that's real. Yeah. You don't get that no more.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get that no more. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get that. This is... Not today. You can tell when people take their time with the food. You have to be hungry waiting on somebody to cook you like that. Yeah, that shit been up in a long time. They be like, relax.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Let me do what I'm doing. But let me let this rock so the people kind of understand what I'm saying. My vibe from the West. Oh. rock so the people kind of understand what I'm saying my vibe from the West Oh rather be Oh you boys tell what a big bridge your hook is coming you can tell oh do you ever look at yourself and see the truth in your you gotta cry with somebody cry with your loved one. Oh my god Is it hot for you to do? This is the best RV music of them. Yo, it's incredible 15 years
Starting point is 01:27:24 I don't know the last yeah like this it's incredible like nora jones slash shy day slash yeah and but and i'm i'm spending time on her because her name is not mentioned with the people that they should be mentioning that's what i just said and they not tying her boots so far it's a lot of them way the marketing is working and but they had a couple joints and they pretty and they cute and they Got a nice feature But for the songsters is that's just out there dolo holding it down effort after effort This is what redacted redacted and redacted think they doing yeah, yes. Yeah. Yeah redacted, redacted, and redacted think they do it. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Redacted.
Starting point is 01:28:05 Yeah. I'm going to let this rock for a little bit, but if you just listen to the album. This shit sounds ridiculous. This is dope. Like, this is my bag, right? Like, this shit sounds crazy. It's proper use of instruments. It's proper use of the choir. Her voice is an instrument.
Starting point is 01:28:22 I don't know who produced what The writing The words But this is exactly What happened on her last album Now I think the name was Inflow Let me double check that Yeah
Starting point is 01:28:32 Is this the same Oh Inflow is the producer's name What's his name Inflow Of this Yeah Both of her albums

You could tell that you locked in with somebody on the sound, man. It's a whole ass band. They got everyone's shit listed. You know what I'm saying? The guitarist, the keyboard, congo, everybody getting the credit.
Starting point is 01:28:54 Which I also shout out to her for putting all the credits in there. That's beautiful. All right, I'm going to stop riding. Clint, hold up. What is it hard for you to do? Come on, son. Fill me up. Oh.

Starting point is 01:29:40 All right. Is it hard for you to say? We have, we have. I can't. I can't. Give her the budget. Nah, that's Chade's daughter. Give her the budget.
Starting point is 01:29:58 I don't know how old Cleo Soul is. I don't know if you listen to us, Cleo Soul. We got to talk to you, man. You snuck out that fucking When I'm'm in your arms roses 31 your whole last project i ain't seen an interview i ain't seen a tiny desk i ain't seen a the colors performance you know when they do it i haven't seen anything and this is a travesty in music word something is violent player that was just doing all that. Yeah, something is terribly off with that. I heard three songs and said, yo, fam, this is a problem in music.
Starting point is 01:30:31 Yeah. And that's why I don't like that entertainment. She doesn't have access to them looks. Like, her label is something that she co-founded on her own. Man, all you need is the people. No, but she don't have. That's somebody's job. At some bigger label management company, whatever the case may be,
Starting point is 01:30:45 that's somebody's job is to find her. Yeah, okay. And fucking under a rock in South Dakota somewhere and bring her to the masses. Or the fucked up part, watch her be right in Brooklyn. Yeah, probably. In the Bronx. In a chopped cheese or something.
Starting point is 01:30:59 She be like, all right, wait a minute. She's from London. Oh. They don't play over there. They going crazy over there yo my understanding of london no i was watching i was up watching somebody because a lot of people are it's holiday now so and then holiday uh it's holiday so people are doing the trips they go to london spain
Starting point is 01:31:23 italy greece whatever they're trips they go to London Spain Italy Greece whatever they doing they've seen some Spain so I'm seeing I've been seeing Spain I've seen since you said it once you said that
Starting point is 01:31:31 I was just going to say it I've been seeing it it's a lot of Spain well when I was asking y'all we just not cultured enough to know but I was asking y'all and I did receive the answer
Starting point is 01:31:39 it's holiday that's why I didn't know but so that's why we're seeing all this and I'm seeing a lot more London than I'm used to. And London in the nighttime is beautiful. London is beautiful, but it look more like a Dubai London now.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Now you land in Dubai and could just feel the money that's present. No, London got bread. I don't know how you land in Dubai and feel the money. London got a lot of money. Well, you know how when you walk in certain Bayonne delis, they feel like more money than some of the other ones, like a cat's. I got to make it to London, man. I got to get back out there and touch the city.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. You know. I'm sorry. That pastrami. Well, yes, Ice. When you land in Dubai, Dubai looked like future Vegas. It looked like Vegas in 2050.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Well, we in 2020. It just looked like future Vegas. But Cleo Soul, I would love to speak to you. I'm going to DM you. Respectfully. I'm normally weird about stuff like that, but I'm going to DM this young lady because enough is enough. This album is phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:32:45 That shit is something different. If you don't have it, stream it. Like I said, just me seeing her sign to her own label. Them niggas sleep together at the same house. Like they got it. Yeah, yeah. Like the whole band just living one big ass something. That shit's something amazing.
Starting point is 01:33:02 Yo, when people do the seven minute song, um, and then start switching shit up, changing shit. You're not doing it for the, the music is going different. You know what I'm saying? Like,
Starting point is 01:33:15 you don't have a cut off. Like, these drum niggas just got in they bag. Everybody's just moving. That shit sound live. It was just jamming. It was like, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:22 let's keep all that shit. Yeah. Let me ask you a question. Cause i hear y'all saying she should be getting more looks and stuff and for what i just read about her she's signed to her own label okay that's fire which is very fire yeah i'm listening it's kind of supporting the argument that the labels have like you need us to get there because you putting out this fire nobody's getting it you're not getting any looks stop right there but stop right there her man from london might be that she might be the shit in london the word there changes the whole sentence and i keep having that
Starting point is 01:33:55 talk with like the up-and-coming artists all of you artists out there have to start being real intentional with what you want because y'all out there just saying really vague shit and it's too many avenues it's too much money it's too much shit to do so you're like how do i get in the door nigga what door what door do you want to be where are you trying to be make your own what so when you say well i said that because he said she should be a household name that's why i asked that question he's like she's making such good music she should be a household name but that's stop right there and ish has a point that he was gonna make but i want to stop the microwave brain people because they hear savvy people like y'all start having this talk and that's where we start making the mistake of judging artists that's on their first second album they're nowhere near where
Starting point is 01:34:43 they're gonna land correct they're going to land. Correct. Like, you got to let niggas figure it out. So, if she has a point, then he's going to make it. But who's to say that she won't be the... We never saw... I never saw Adele doing what Adele did when she did it. Like, I don't think none of us over here did.
Starting point is 01:34:57 Maybe over there, they was like, all she got to do is hit the States. All she got to do is hit the States. Yo, there's so many artists today, because now I be in the car grooving to a lot of shit that's not from America. I used to fuck with
Starting point is 01:35:09 the Craig Davis shit back in the day and when he hit America with that Fill Me In and all of that, that nigga was already fucking Michael Jackson over there.
Starting point is 01:35:18 You get what I'm saying? Like he was already that dude three, four albums in before he ever touched ground here. Then he came here and left. One little album, one little album ground here then he came here and left one little
Starting point is 01:35:27 album one little album and actually and left i'm giving it i'm giving i'm giving my order of albums and music to y'all wrong i bought ty doll in them scrolled down a few more albums and clicked on some shit just clicked on it right what happened oh yeah this is what i clicked on actually no see shit like this is why i love Fridays. I just clicked on this. This is an EP. I never heard of these people. But it was grooving, right? So as it was grooving, when I hit the little sample thing,
Starting point is 01:36:13 I said, I want to hear more, right? And when I went to hear more, who did they have there? You fucking guessed it. Wifey. Wifey. Music wifey wifey music wifey was there brandy popping up places so shit fucking you know i'm buying it you know i'm buying it let me ask you let me see what the fuck all right go ahead give it to me because you said you were scrolling so what makes you click that you've never heard of them. Like, what stood out?
Starting point is 01:36:46 Was it the cover? Was it a name? Cover, the name. I check the category of music it is. I look at the time length. Like, I look at your presentation. Because there's an artist out there listening that wants to know how I get on the radar. Well, what's your name?
Starting point is 01:37:04 Let's start with what's your name. By the time I had to get a record deal, I was in front of a record contract, and I didn't have a name. So I said, oh, I'm Joe Budden. I couldn't be Mouse. I didn't want to be known as Mouse. I can't record as Mouse.
Starting point is 01:37:16 And the street niggas I was with hated Mouse. I was trying to explain it to them. They had fucking weapons. Fucking Mouse is out of here. All right, you got it. And Joe Budden. So name is first And if you If you think about that
Starting point is 01:37:27 A lot of the kids today They're creative with the name Yeah They picked that up They got that That's why That's why that Lil That's why that Lil
Starting point is 01:37:35 Was so popular Yeah Because they saw The Lil Wayne probably Really set the stage And for them And for those kids You talking about
Starting point is 01:37:43 Today That group of kids They get into the hair They get into. And for those kids you're talking about today, that group of kids, they get into the hair, they get into the colors, how they're dressed. They do it. But back to them, after we get to your name, I'm looking at your artwork. Album artwork, extremely important still. I credit the new kids and Kanye and a few other people.
Starting point is 01:38:01 Y'all changed that game. Griselda, salute to y'all. Some of y'all just take it way more serious than I ever did. It wasn't until All Love Lost that fucking Rory found the artist and was like, let's do an art piece. And I loved that cover.
Starting point is 01:38:15 And as a result, for part of it, I loved that album. Like, the cover led to the album. It led to, it was important. So the cover, I'm looking at two black girls. I'm clicking this and then i see brandy no purchase oh yeah see no yeah i'm i'm buying this and then i learned oh shit they're not from here all right i just asked because there's people that would want to know no
Starting point is 01:38:34 that's a good that's a great point yeah that's good things that was a great question pick out great question is very important like as someone who's been buying records for a long time like i'm buying the fire album cover i don't even need to know necessarily what's on it. Like, that's something I look for. Artwork is so important to me that I actually change the artwork. Y'all know that. Yeah. I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:38:53 I don't want to see this. Right. And while they're getting all educational, let me get silly for a little bit. Rock on. Everybody's getting BBLs out there. Everybody has ass. They all get in the same fucking shape.
Starting point is 01:39:08 Right? A lot of you dudes is getting fooled because it's like doofy chicks. They not used to being fine. So they only look fine in the picture.

Not for nothing. You might have invented this. The table be shaking. You might have invented this.

Starting point is 01:40:24 Yo tell the truth. Was that ass real or fake? I don't remember that. Like fans. Yeah. And I didn't quite understand. I didn't understand. Message boards,
Starting point is 01:40:34 I was everywhere. I didn't know that that was, but when I was in Suze early, a few of the get money chicks in Suze, they beat all y'all to it. Yeah. They beat all of y'all To it
Starting point is 01:40:45 And got the work done So I was confused When I bagged my first chick That got her ass done I just thought her ass was fat And then we had sex And it wasn't ass It wasn't ass
Starting point is 01:40:54 In the way it was supposed to It was the early version of this Or the cheaper version It's the beta And I'm asking I'm back there I see what you did She's a beta ass
Starting point is 01:41:03 I am Yeah I'm back there Fucking the beta version. Ain't no rippling. I'm smacking. It got a different sound. Now I'm confused back there. A little deep sound to it. Man, I got to tap the bit.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Shit sound like a Spalding? Yo, you from Mars? I got to lean over. Is it me? Or is something different back? Nigga. And that's when they was lying. No.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Oh. Well, let me get out and come and get out of this shit. She from Bayonne. Yeah. But so yeah, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. I'm a part of that. But listen, so I'm here with a solution.
Starting point is 01:41:47 Because everybody got a BBL And they all got the same ass And some of them is doofy And some of them is not You don't know how to separate the two You gotta turn reggae on Reggae, Afro Beach Gotta fuck a Haitian You see who could do like that
Starting point is 01:41:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah You know the parties You know the real The parties The basement parties The wall parties Those the wall parties. Those parties, they did it right. They like, hey, even our girls that don't got no ass,
Starting point is 01:42:13 they get busy. They get busy in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So all you do is start turning this shit on. See, I want them to shake asses. You'll find something out. When this come on, it's a BBL check.
Starting point is 01:42:28 It's a test. What's shaking? What's not shaking? Also, let's appreciate, why is Brandy's voice beautiful on everything? Wait. I was listening to this shit saying, how's Brandy on here? I love this song. I'm just waiting for Brandy.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Don't worry. We getting it. I wasn't here to listen and be like, this sounds like Brandy should be on here. Brandy's like hot sauce now, too. It's a computer. It's a robot. This is AI. I'm not worried, no I know the chorus I won't stay tough on whatever I'll live your life forever, love is first Heart has been through my heart I'm not worried, no I know the chorus
Starting point is 01:43:17 I'm not worried, no I know the chorus Heart is on me, my heart is on me I'm not worried, it, run it, run it, run it. Here you go. I'm trying to get it wrong. Yo, white girl, they jamming this. This will be another heartbreak song. It goes. Somebody's gonna go find me.
Starting point is 01:43:35 And this is the shit, because I be f***ing. I don't deal with those things. That's a joke. It's a joke. Anyway. That shit sound nice. I like that. It's hard. This project is hard. Anyway That shit sound nice I like that It's hard This project is hard
Starting point is 01:43:47 I've heard the name T.Y. Savage Never heard of any music T.Y. Savage T.Y. Savage Alright I've been Slightly educated A little bit here
Starting point is 01:43:56 T.Y. Savage is one person See I looked at the album See why the album cover's important Yeah I saw two people On the album cover I saw Water and Gary. Gotti, thank you.
Starting point is 01:44:09 T.Y. Savage, apparently she's already a big deal in Nigeria. She's like the deal. See, but that's why this is one of my favorite times in music. If you don't focus on the things that you hate in music, you find some of the things you love. I see a lot of, there's been a lot of cross country, crossover action. And I like that here.
Starting point is 01:44:28 That would make sense. Why Nas and Brandy and them are on the album too. Yeah. Because the bigger artists, they travel. I'm going to tell you. So you, you touched down in Ghana somewhere and you hearing this dope ass sound.
Starting point is 01:44:40 You're like, who is that? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You, you might even seek them out. And if they big out there. Exactly. You know, it's like, there exactly you know it's like I see what's but this is where it's beautiful if you're a music lover like if there's marketing on this I missed it
Starting point is 01:44:52 I'm not in Nigeria so I don't know I'm only relying on the sound of the music and it's good music over here see the music is good music is universal wherever it is yeah but for a long time, America was stubborn. I was just getting you to talk about that. Americans have been stubborn. Still.
Starting point is 01:45:10 We still are. We easing up, though, it seems. I think so. To an extent. We still feel like if it don't blow over here, we don't really care. Like, it takes an artist like this
Starting point is 01:45:23 to blow up over here for us to say, yo, there it go. Even like this to blow up over here even even like with reggae and shit it's artists that are huge in reggae we might not never see them or they oh they'll make a little bit of commercial success here but they popping in london correct they popping in europe they popping in other places i think what you what you're addressing ice is a little different from what i'm addressing. And you're right. New York. America has always been stubborn that way.
Starting point is 01:45:48 Some of, some of a lot of America is like, I ain't really accepting it. If it didn't pop here. That was why, uh, Wayne and dipset was such a big deal back then. Right. But I think your take is.
Starting point is 01:46:01 While true. Some of some, some, a lot of America didn't have a choice like it was forced and I think that's been taking place for a decade Drake kicked that door open I hate to always bring things back to him but he changed a lot y'all had to deal with the fact that he was from Canada
Starting point is 01:46:19 we didn't like it he was from Canada, he was Jewish he was acting, he was cute. Your girl liked him. And all he kept saying was, yo, when my album drops, your girl is going to buy it and your brother. We had to deal with that. And once he kicked in the door, here comes The Weeknd. Here comes Party. Here comes Division.
Starting point is 01:46:39 Here comes Sabrina Claudio. Here comes, and I know all of them because I listen to all of them. It's a lot more. Here comes, damn, what's the fucking girl that I love? Oh, Snow. Here comes Snow. Here comes, there's plenty of them. Azeon's not from over here.
Starting point is 01:46:58 Like, there's mad at them. It's been all decade of them running the show. Go a little bit further. And the stubborn Americans have had to say oh that's that's oh wow oh y'all did it it's here like that's the best essence song of the summer Wizkid
Starting point is 01:47:15 song was on his album in October when that came out here comes stubborn America gotta wait to the summer I won't enjoy it till I can go outside shut up you can go back further than that. I know. I'm Justin Bieber.
Starting point is 01:47:28 The Biebs, it's a lot of them. It was a lot of them. When the international superstars. Amy Winehouse, rest in peace. Amy Winehouse,
Starting point is 01:47:35 the London rappers. It's been a thing. So even this now. And I think the internet changed a lot of that too. That did. It did. The internet changed
Starting point is 01:47:43 a lot of it because before you were hearing what was almost local or maybe regional. The internet changed it. The internet put the world right here. For the consumer. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, but I'm talking about the music business as a whole.
Starting point is 01:47:57 And when you do that, you got to deal with the consumers and you got to deal with the people that's controlling it. The people that's controlling it, when Napster and all that shit, the question started to be, okay, how do we not only gain control but increase market share? And they wouldn't tell us in America. We wouldn't know in America that four years ago or six years ago, Spotify's whole purpose was India. Let's tackle India in 2021.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Because if we get India, then we have this population. They're a big ass piece of the world. We encapsulate that into the streaming shit. Nobody, when you're looking at numbers, numbers is numbers. We don't see people. We don't see companies. We don't see countries. It's just numbers. Dumb numbers don't say what's happening in America. Dumb numbers don't say
Starting point is 01:48:39 what's happening over here unless you hit advanced and you get to the searching. But numbers is numbers. That was the big fight with the labels for a long time hey dog what's my international numbers what did i sell over there why y'all keep y'all sending me over here to talk to fucking tim westwood every every album drop the fans love me over here hey what i'm doing over here hey london ain't even the only other market. Right. Oh, there's more markets to sell to when they love us there. See, if we don't know that, if we don't have the information, if we can't look and say, oh, shit, Joe Budden has 100,000 people in Africa that keep asking to see me.
Starting point is 01:49:21 That probably means I could do 10 shows with 2,000 people. If I get 3% of those people, when we got the information, the power was in our hands. So yeah, on a consumer standpoint, oh, we got the internet, so I'm privy. But on the other side, it was, oh no,
Starting point is 01:49:33 we need all the markets here. America's not enough. America's not enough. If we all fighting for it, then we need more. We got to be the dominant people. Hey, the History app, the History Channel app,
Starting point is 01:49:44 this is how America was birthed. We got to get over there first. And we have to populate and we have to build. And that's what they're doing. Everywhere. Anytime there's some new... That's what China's doing now. Anytime there's some new undiscovered area... I know, and I think they won't tell us how much China kicking some ass.
Starting point is 01:49:59 No, it's not that they won't tell us. China won't tell us. No, no, no. We can't even see what China's doing. China tell us. China tell us. My whole family got COVID. What the it's not that they won't tell us. China won't tell us. No, no, no. We can't even see what China's doing. China tell us. China tell us. My whole family got COVID. What the fuck are you talking about? Fam, I'm not. Fam what?
Starting point is 01:50:13 It's time to revisit some of that Trump shit. Yo, it's good. Oh, no. Hey, you need to. I'm talking about financial. It's time to revisit the loony shit. Oh, okay. Never mind. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:50:21 All right. All right. COVID ain't come from fucking Jersey City. Oh, my God. I don. All right. All right. COVID ain't come from fucking Jersey City. Oh, my God. I don't know where it came from. I know America had a loony up there that was acting loony. So I wrote off everything he said as loony. No, I have to.
Starting point is 01:50:34 And he was up there saying shit that America ain't want to say. Hey, China. China. And I was like, damn, man. That's fucked up. You keep that shit up. But wait a minute, though. But the more you get to digging now.
Starting point is 01:50:45 Anyway, we're not talking about the vaccine right now. Nah, but we just in life. And you bought up Spotify. Spotify is not an American-based company. Right? So they already in tune with international markets. To them, America is an international market. Right.
Starting point is 01:51:00 You get what I'm saying? So they already know. It's motherfuckers moving waves over here. We don't know that because we so arrogant yo we so stubborn like when you go to fucking monaco when you go to fucking all them other countries they make us look like peons right but on tv we the shit everybody else starving on tv we the shit to us here because it's american tv right yeah it's propaganda it's the same shit It's the same shit how I've heard. I don't know how true this is.
Starting point is 01:51:27 We're shown pictures of shit going on overseas that's not really happening that way. Yeah. So we'll think one way, and it don't necessarily be that. And we'll push our political agenda. And they said, yo, even with the most recent shit that's been going on, people posting shit from over there. Yo, dog, I don't know what y'all looking at. We straight. Yeah, it's not what y'all think.
Starting point is 01:51:49 Allegedly. Yeah, we straight. But back to the financial piece. Excuse me. Even back in the day, right, when we was little, we used to be seeing the Ethiopians with the big stomachs and the flies on their face. Right. Yo, mad people from Ethiopia never experienced that. We thought them niggas was over there starving,
Starting point is 01:52:08 niggas over there with 30-foot ceilings in their house. No. No. I was very young and said, well, who's taping? Like, why are you asking me in my living room? For 37-cent a day. I got a male something over there there and it's a nigga with a camera just taping a kid with flies oh what are you doing but no that's what they were showing us
Starting point is 01:52:32 so we got this depiction like i had that same thought when they showed rescue dog i mean dogs and when they do the shelters i don't know this cat is dying and i'm like well pick it up fucking take him to some cat litter fucking tell him he's going to be on the TV and you paid for this commercial you're exploiting that
Starting point is 01:52:49 and you're exploiting the cat that's dying motherfuckers be getting money overseas we just haven't tapped into the markets so again Nas is Nas
Starting point is 01:52:57 you know what I'm saying Nas is international big business man he probably got mad investments in Africa you going to Africa these niggas popping over there
Starting point is 01:53:06 so now yo where they at let me let me seek them out and get a joint with them you know what I'm saying and they probably already a fan of Nas's
Starting point is 01:53:13 so the two just make a marriage you get what I'm saying I forget which I want to see yo what did I say no no real international shit I remember there were acts
Starting point is 01:53:24 that could not sell I don't even want to call them legacy acts but acts from the 90s rap artists that could not book a show
Starting point is 01:53:33 in America to save their life making millions of dollars overseas killing overseas Dale DeFonke homo sapiens killing niggas overseas
Starting point is 01:53:40 but try to book try to book a show in your country you can't sell 100 tickets. So yeah, it's much bigger than us. I let you say Delta, Funky Homo Sapien. No, he was making mad
Starting point is 01:53:53 bread. You ain't thinkin' about it up over there? Shout out to Hieroglyphics. Let us do the music. You can't do that. You can't do that no more. It's the statute of limitations. You can't. They thinking
Starting point is 01:54:09 you calling homos something. They don't even know what you saying. You gotta get a cancel. Yo, you never pumped it up over there? I pumped it up every way there was to pump it up. That's why I be in trouble now. You could have made a couple million over there and pumped it up. Nah.
Starting point is 01:54:28 You ain't want to go. My rate wasn't like... All right. What about Dell? Now, come on. Let's move on. Let's move on. It ain't time to slow down.
Starting point is 01:54:39 It's heavyweight wars. It's Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, it sure is. It's Star Wars time. Heavyweight wars. Joe's been waiting. Yeah, yeah, it sure is. It's Star Wars time. Heavyweight wars. Joe's been waiting. I've been home because we took a pod off. All of y'all were podding, and I watched, listening.
Starting point is 01:54:57 All of y'all are trash. You're all trash. Y'all didn't say shit. I left it there by the rim for weeks nobody said nothing so i've been home all this time saying wait this nigga's acting like this he's leaking drake's address while a gospel album is coming out kind of should be arrested man Nobody asked themselves this Let's start this from the top Tippity tippity tippity tippity tippity top
Starting point is 01:55:32 Cole wasn't scared of none of y'all At all At all Of none of y'all At all He knew y'all was coming He knew y'all been working He knew y'all was beefing
Starting point is 01:55:41 He didn't fucking care I don't care Fuck y'all I'm out of here He didn't care And wait Got one't care. Fuck y'all. I'm out of here. He didn't care. And, and wait. Got one of the best tapes of the year. Wait.
Starting point is 01:55:48 Still. And ain't do none of this fuck shit. Nothing. I gave you a date. I gave you a date and dropped the album. I haven't seen or heard a thing since. And disappeared. But no, no, that ain't.
Starting point is 01:55:59 No. Well, yeah. But in my story, Cole was home bored. See, that's the part y'all be missing. These super titan MC niggas be home bored. Em was home bored and signed Slaughterhouse to fuck around. Hey, you niggas come rap over here. I ain't doing shit.
Starting point is 01:56:18 Get my juices flowing. Right? So Cole was home. Called every rapper you know. Said, yo, we in Atlanta this weekend. Come through.
Starting point is 01:56:28 They all came. Yeah. Everybody. They all rapped. He put an album out. And I knew that he was in there taking everyone's superpowers. Because that's what happens
Starting point is 01:56:39 when you that great. You can't help it. I'm great. If you niggas do something great around me, I'm going to make it greater. And he came out. No, he didn't come out. I'm great. If you niggas do something great around me, I'm going to make it greater. And he came out. No, he didn't come out. He went and joined the basketball team. He joined the basketball team.
Starting point is 01:56:52 He put a sneaker out. Then he came back. Then he came back. Then he did something else. I think they hung his jersey up somewhere. He did something else wild. He did something wild. It probably happened in North Carolina too. But but right you got to start with him he didn't care i told y'all he didn't care and y'all be trying to act like y'all don't see that he didn't care he didn't give two fucks about none of you niggas he got it out the way and it's still hard still one of the
Starting point is 01:57:15 best albums of the year now fall back and wait fall back and wait i didn't have kanye inserting himself into this mix i only had had Cole, Kendrick, and Drake, but that's poor of me because Kanye is in there. I just thought he was out busy. But when you up that magnitude and shit Rocky at home, and you get
Starting point is 01:57:37 a divorce, and the money's making money, and I move to Wisconsin, and I'm looking for the peace, it's quiet, that nigga wouldn't called Slaughterhouse. He called Benny. He called Royce. He called the locks. He called everybody he could call
Starting point is 01:57:50 to get out here. And now he's got something. Insert Kanye in the race. Fine. I wish we could find the old clip of the first year of this pod, second year of this pod, and me fucking telling more,
Starting point is 01:58:03 hey, these guys don't like each other, man. They hate each other. He said, no, they got they got a song together i said all right we'll talk about later kanye comes out and we think he found jesus he found the lord he's doing arenas he made the album the album sounds better than the last few albums and then people start calling my phone saying hey dog why do you think Kanye it keeps doing these live stadium listening parties and not putting his album out and then I got to stare at the phone and say money don't bother me about this if I had an album that I could just pop up in a city and generate over a million dollars in less than two hours, I'm going to do it a few times. I'm not rushing to put this out.
Starting point is 01:58:51 I wouldn't be shocked if he pop up in fucking Boston next week. Hey, all y'all, come listen to this. It's money. It's all money. It's all money. It's all money. You think? I know.
Starting point is 01:59:00 It's all money. It's all money. It's for nothing else. But it's beautiful art. Man, we just talked It's for nothing else. But it's beautiful art. Man, we just talked about who could sell out a stadium tour. Beautiful art. Right? He's low-key running a stadium tour.
Starting point is 01:59:13 Of live art. Right. Of something that's not out. Like you said, live art. There's a concept, there's a theory floating around on the internet that says, hey, is Kanye's album out already and we don't know it is he debuting or finally tackling his idea of live art that he tried to do with uh pablo pablo with our life of pablo is has he mastered his growing album where we just get to watch it and hear it grow and be
Starting point is 01:59:38 developed and we can go and we can see it but it ain't out and it'll never be out and i won't dismiss it because in the nft world and all of this shit artists are about to start artisan on y'all yeah they are last year not last year last decade we was all crying together saying the music is being devalued and we didn't know where it was going and where could it go we've seen a track we've seen c tape cd streaming streaming has to be the end right it's never the fucking end it's never the end it's never the end so if he did that would you blame him nope i might not hell no i don't i might not blame him in that same theory that's floating around they saying that the first one he was in all red cause he was in hell and now, and the fire was on the screen.
Starting point is 02:00:27 Yeah. Uh, and then he was in black, which is a purgatory purgatory purgatory. And he ascended at the end. And then in the next one, he'll be in white and it's happening. You know,
Starting point is 02:00:35 Kanye is in all that, all that. So all of that's cool. When the artistic see, and I figured Kanye out now can't trick me no more dog i'm sick like you i got you nigga i got you that nigga brain is weird i got his ass because you can't really tell you can't tell with him but i think artistic genius when that's happening, it's him.
Starting point is 02:01:08 Absolutely. At his truest form. When he doing shit that we've never seen before, musically and visually. I agree. I think he's really him. It's him. But the market and all. I don't get off until I start seeing things It's him. But the market and all I don't get off until I
Starting point is 02:01:26 start seeing things that's off. And when I say off, I don't mean nuts or off center. I mean things that are not aligned with that artistic genius.
Starting point is 02:01:37 Prime example. Don't debate me on it. I'm giving you my opinion. It's my podcast. I'm here to do it. When Kanye called the locks after verses to
Starting point is 02:01:43 come do the song, that scared me. Why you say that? Because it's not him. It's not the artistic thing that you've been on. Somebody might have influenced you to do that. Because I came in here after the Versus and said, the Lox been the Lox. Yeah. And you are, don't well me.
Starting point is 02:02:00 I don't care what nobody else think. I'm not saying what nobody else think. I'm giving you some more information. Give it to me. Styles has worked on this album already. I don't care what nobody else think. I'm not saying what nobody else think. I'm giving you some more information. Give it to me. Styles has worked on this album already. I know for a fact. Prior to that, he's wrote for other shit on the album. I don't care.
Starting point is 02:02:13 I'm just saying. So he has worked with the lot to an extent. I don't care. Now they're back after verses on a private jet with vocals on a Jay Electronica song where I don't even want to hear Jay Electronica. And like, no. I'm telling you what I thought. Off. You said it that day.
Starting point is 02:02:32 Off. Or very on. If you're talking about changing the way that we deliver music and it's a live music experience, it's growing, a growing music thing. No, he's talking about the Kanye. I understand. I understand exactly what he's saying.
Starting point is 02:02:44 Well, if we isolate that, yeah, but I ain't done. Okay. I think that's brilliant if that's what you're doing. Cool. Let's add more now. It's living. Yeah, which is the genius part. It could be.
Starting point is 02:02:56 That's the genius part. I ain't thinking about it. This is happening right now. But let's keep it going. But let's keep it going. It's like podcasting in music form. I understand. No, I ain't thinking about it.
Starting point is 02:03:03 That's fire. It's like podcasting in music form. Nah, I ain't think about it. That's fire. It's fire alone. But here are a list of things that happened before that and after. Justin LaVoy was Kanye West's spokesperson. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 02:03:16 I'm going to repeat it for you. I know. Justin LaVoy was Kanye West's spokesperson. Mm-hmm. I believe Kanye West to have saved Adidas.
Starting point is 02:03:26 Okay. Yes. Whatever they're saying about him and Gap, I believe it. Whatever he did for Def Jam and Universal, I believe it. What he did for music, I believe it.
Starting point is 02:03:39 He's the same guy that debuted videos on the sides of buildings across the country. You can't trick me. You don't have that type of brain to even think of something like that. He ran on stage and took Taylor Swift's shit from her.
Starting point is 02:03:59 So did. He did. He told Michael Myers, shut the fuck up and diss the president. All I'm saying is Justin LaVoy was speaking for this person. And I came in here and told y'all
Starting point is 02:04:15 what I thought about it. I didn't expound because my brain is weird. Niggas don't really agree with me on anything. But that was really that don't align with the artistic genius they don't it don't for me for me i'm not debating it think what you want right let's keep going then consequence popped up and said we looking for drake and i said holy I came in here and said it again. I came in here and said, up, up, up, up. You're going to get bow, bow.
Starting point is 02:04:49 You're going to get bow, bow. Leave him alone. Right? But that was worrisome to me because he ain't doing that on his own. Kanye ain't tweeting that on his own. He got support in that. He's not just going to run out and do that. He got support in that.
Starting point is 02:05:02 That was Kanye. We using Justin LaVoy. We using Consequence. Wait, Kanye is looking for Drake off the Justin LaVoy. It didn't make sense. It didn't make sense. Then, Con's tweeted again.
Starting point is 02:05:19 Joe was worried. I only ain't really worried because I heard some part of the album and it all sounds great. But the actions, the actions tell me some ain't right but then karen civil tweeted hey they friends and karen's an insider so karen say it i'm inclined to believe it. But even when she said that, I said, I don't believe it. Because what happens with two people that's that big, that one time maybe envied each other and hated each other
Starting point is 02:05:54 or admired each other or respected each other, we could beef and then get together and play nice, but I'm still trying to crack your muffin. So even if they piece it up, even if there is a song coming, I don't know, maybe. Even if that competition between them two
Starting point is 02:06:11 will never cease to exist. It's going to be there. No matter what. Right? Yeah, sure. And now we have an address leak. Wait, you jumped.
Starting point is 02:06:24 Oh, sorry. Because before we got the address leak. Wait, you jumped. Oh, sorry. Because before we got the address leak, we got the verse. That's what prompted the address leak? The verse on Trippie Redd's record. See, I don't, see, and this is where I'm going to shut up. Because they're going to say I got my OVO cape on. I don't care about that verse. You were bugging before this verse.
Starting point is 02:06:41 You were, but I'm just giving you a timeline. You was looking for me before this. Oh, is a timeline but i'm not highlighting this because i'm not highlighting drake's part in my head drake has been chilling the one time the petty scorpio nigga is chilling the only other person that could fuck with him while he's chilling in this type of manner big brother type manner pop right back out and get to fucking with Duke? Let me tell you about Drake's year. The heart went away in his head. It's gone.
Starting point is 02:07:12 It got to grow back in. He said it. He had COVID. He said that. He broke his leg. He said that. Nigga was wheelchairing around the house. His album's supposed to be out in December.
Starting point is 02:07:24 It's not. Life and health happened. Correct. And now my whole team is scientists. It's a big project. We've been telling y'all for years here that when they let people outside, the labels are going to release the big projects. So I'm sure they made them.
Starting point is 02:07:39 Hey, no, dog. You back. Get out of here. He been trying to give us EPs,Ps projects and leaks shot a video in Marcy nigga went to Marcy this has been his year and the first time the biggest artist
Starting point is 02:07:51 in the world pop out that I admired and loved he right at me so here come Drake on Trippy Red he say it
Starting point is 02:08:02 yo my shit is set in stone. That's it. There's nothing more to say. It's not a diss. No, no, not a diss. It's not disrespectful. It's talking to the fans. It's the same thing all the greats have done. They take in the real-time events.
Starting point is 02:08:16 They see what you're saying. They come back. A hove popped on the record set. You're calling me a camel, but I'm through the... You know what he said. We see what you're saying is what he's saying. Right? All Drake said was, I'm too the, you know, you know what he said. We see what you're saying is what he's saying. Right. All Drake said was,
Starting point is 02:08:26 I'm too big of an artist. It's not as simple as you trying to, and you know it. Cause you was that big of an artist too. You know that this is set in stone. I can't move it. Even if I wanted to move it and play with you, I mean,
Starting point is 02:08:40 clearing sample, we got this guy, the label need me here. We need this month to show like that like it's not about you kanye and kanye knows that but he making it look like there's some type of i got some type of thing going on i don't need a theory i've seen this movie the same movie from universal these niggas is on the same label yeah i said that i said they can't trick me they can't trick me we know said the real winner here is. They can't trick me. We know who the real winner is.
Starting point is 02:09:05 They was going to win anyway. They trying to win more. Right. It's American greed. They was going to win. It's Kanye and Drake. Of course. It's American greed.
Starting point is 02:09:14 They want to win more. Hey, when 50 and Kanye was dropping, I was like, oh, they both going to win. It wasn't enough for them. Needed more. Got to finish one of them. If I take what Karen said as some truth. She's wrong. But just, this is
Starting point is 02:09:29 my theory. You gave your thoughts. Like I said, I have two theories on this. One is, I don't know if y'all remember Rockefeller movie, Death of a Dynasty? We do. Okay. The movie pitted them against each other the entire movie all for them to kind of like joint
Starting point is 02:09:45 drop and was like haha we pulled the wool over all y'all's we really cool go out and cop all that shit that's theory one like this is a wrestling fans call it a work where we've pretending there's something here it's not we cool this is just to gear everybody up get all y'all something to talk about so we can come out theory two is Kanye really does want a showdown again
Starting point is 02:10:14 yeah a showdown with Drake and I trace it back to that line he made on the record on the EP he dropped. He says, this one, numero uno, hot one hundo, it didn't come with a bundle. So it's like if Kanye's jigging the system with the bundle shit I told you about before, I'm running up the numbers.
Starting point is 02:10:41 I could kind of get a little head on him. Now if we drop, and I can... All you're going to do is make me push it back. Because I'm going to get mad. You're playing with me a certain way, and I can't play back. But if you make me mad enough, I'm going to add songs. See, you know, check my credit score. My last two albums, I've added some songs.
Starting point is 02:11:03 That whole double disc shit was probably done in the last week. He said that. The whole shit was, I'm on your head, you dead, my eyes red, blood shed. Like, yeah, he was talking to you. The whole album. So if you make me mad enough, I'm going to add some music. See, that's my- And I'm going to push this back.
Starting point is 02:11:17 And you go stand on your own. Get out there in the street. Because when I come, I'm coming. I'm coming. And my focus is not you. See, that's the other thing where I kind of, it got to be more to this. Because Kanye, this is the same nigga that had you tripping when he just sent you a purple emoji in the DM. You was out here on the ledge.
Starting point is 02:11:37 And that, there is stuff that we don't know about. This beef has gone so far up. How are you looking for him, though, is what I'm saying. How are you looking for him, though, is what I'm saying. How are you looking for him? Huh? How are you looking for the one that had you? You was bugged. You thought sicko mode.
Starting point is 02:11:52 Yo, Saint is on the right. He's talking about like you was losing your mind. My wife unfollowed me, followed you. You was talking about see Chris Jenner. I beeped twice and I waved. Stop. You live up the street. mansion overlook your man you talking about my pool i see your security out there i ain't even got security that's around my house 24 7 like what i'm saying is our brains won't even come to think
Starting point is 02:12:17 of the types of beef that these two have gotten into you hear what he's saying yay's pool is nice mine's just bigger is all i'm saying what type of petty scorpio shit like what do you what are you talking about but you know what he's talking about yo i keep seeing y'all at that pool down there it's cool it ain't enough but i'm going i'm going like listen drake's address is out it's been out like you could google it you can find it the dude's house is a monument out there you probably probably can't miss it, right? But it's not about that. The dude that mixed my first single is putting out my address. I know y'all can find it.
Starting point is 02:12:55 It's out. It's the fact that he's doing it. Kanye West. That shit ain't cool. It's not even that it's not cool It's like dude you are You look thirsty at this point That's how you look
Starting point is 02:13:09 Yeah it looks nuts to me It looks corny and he looks nuts Especially It's like you are begging for my attention Yeah And I know This is like the ex that You ghosted
Starting point is 02:13:19 You cut out You don't say nothing to her And she's just doing whatever she could do Yeah To get you to acknowledge her Yeah But this is why I'm mad at, this is where I get mad at, yeah, I'm not mad at him, but
Starting point is 02:13:29 back to what I just said about T.Y. Savage, we just relied on the music. Kanye, the music is there now. It ain't like before where you might have needed to do some of them things. You got it now. Why now to get it more like i'm he's looking at he sees something
Starting point is 02:13:50 some niggas be a little mental yo no no no and don't let me get even deeper here because i'm scatterbrained come on this is the frank ocean shit happened apple couldn't do this shit no more. And I think that affected Drake. Drake was the one. Drake was the Apple guy. Put my shit out over here. We got a radio station over here.
Starting point is 02:14:12 And that stopped, right? And I ain't talk to nobody. And that stopped. And now Kanye is working in conjunction with Apple for these streams and these shows. I think that there's numbers that somebody's looking at that probably has something to do with some of these pushbacks. Some of them. Hey, the more you do this.
Starting point is 02:14:32 You see, Apple was the first people. They put out the sign the next day. Oh, shit. This is the stream more than anything ever streamed before on Apple. Really? I doubt it. I don't believe you. I don't believe you.
Starting point is 02:14:41 Sorry, Apple. Don't shadow man me. I love y'all. Y'all know the vibe. But I don't believe that for a fucking second. Don't shadow man me. I love y'all. Y'all know the vibe. But I don't believe that for a fucking second. It's a marketing statement. To me. That's how I took it.
Starting point is 02:14:50 When you make that type of marketing statement, you are invested differently. There you go. You invested differently. Now you talking. So now, is this Kanye versus Drake only? And Drake just left there? Not just left, but... I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 02:15:08 I'm just asking the questions. No, you're right, though. I'm asking him. I'm here to pot. He's moved. Drake has moved from Apple. He got the radio station over at... Sirius or whatever it is.
Starting point is 02:15:19 Sirius. Yeah. You got... Now you're over here now. So now we align with the next person you know the real you know the real short way you know the real short winded way
Starting point is 02:15:33 to say everything that I just said that petty ass Scorpio laugh that he did Drake dropped the fucking address Drake tapes himself. Laughing. No, but it wasn't just a laugh.
Starting point is 02:15:48 That's not true. That was not just a laugh. Supervilla laugh. That was the laugh like, you mother, you going to make me. And when I do it, I don't want to hear shit. See, this is, this is, all right. And that's it. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 02:16:02 And I'm all for this because it ain't no music. One more piece. I ain't no gossip. One more piece. I ain't no gossip. One more piece. It's not even about gossip. Process it. I just don't understand from whether it be Ye, his camp, whoever, okay? When the whole Pusha shit happened, we knew who Drake didn't give a fuck about Pusha T like that.
Starting point is 02:16:19 He was dissing Kanye. Yeah. Kanye then, I don't want nothing to do with it allegedly reached out to somebody to squash it and all of this why are you picking with him this is what I just don't understand of all the people
Starting point is 02:16:36 you know what you didn't want him to say you know it there was something there that you felt he could have said that would have rocked you to the core. So you had to hurry up and, yo. Don't ask me. I think there's a lot that could be said.
Starting point is 02:16:52 I think it is, too. That ain't being said, but it been hinted around. Yes. Same, but that ain't my place to say either. So I'm not saying. But I do think it's a lot of that. I'm going back to what you saying nothing
Starting point is 02:17:06 I ain't saying shit on here y'all know who no nothing no I don't know and shut up why would you what's wrong with you
Starting point is 02:17:13 anyway but no I'm just saying if I'm why do you pick with him do not bark up that tree that tree will fall on you well to Kanye
Starting point is 02:17:23 to Kanye cause rap this megastar shit for me is still scissors paper rock like styles make fights i think that kanye inspired drake but kanye is a weird drake now so if drake want to pow pow i think it'll be an effective pow pow i don't think drake is afraid of kanye i don't all. I think all of them know that Cole just didn't give a fuck about any of them. And now the boogeyman is here. That is true. There's only one boogeyman. That is true.
Starting point is 02:17:54 Candyman. Yeah. See how it just got quiet? Yeah. Candyman is here. See, they playing. They slapboxing. Right.
Starting point is 02:18:04 Candyman has emerged there's a wolf in the woods they looking at the wrong there's a wolf in the woods they heard that shit yeah oh shit it been a dude
Starting point is 02:18:13 it's a stone cold killer on the loose yeah that been quiet yeah for years uh huh and
Starting point is 02:18:22 it's his final album on a very monumental imprint in hip-hop. They've done everything right this entire time. He shut shit down with a fucking Windows 3.1 fucking folder emoji. He don't play. He's not for play play. With some text in it. He's not for play play.
Starting point is 02:18:40 And that's why I need for Kanye to move out of the way. Because you're lying. You're lying. It's not you and Drake. It's not. It's Kendrick Drake. And I'm tired of people jumping in and stopping us from getting Kendrick Drake for a fucking decade. It always gives one of them an out.
Starting point is 02:19:06 Every time Drake looked like he getting ready, Kendrick want to go win the Pulitzer Prize or some shit. No, I can't rap no more. No, no, no, I can't rap. Your turn, your turn. I'm an author. I'm whatever. Drake get ready to beef,
Starting point is 02:19:19 Kendrick go and duck himself in like the Rap Hall of Fame or some shit. No, no, on my time. On my time, buddy my time i'm busy crafting masterpieces yeah and then when kendrick come out he like don't really try to acknowledge drake only he come out and diss everybody he's letting all y'all know because he don't care right so i'm looking for that it's kendrick drake kanye move justin laboe move. Consequence move again. You guys have to stop. Drop the album.
Starting point is 02:19:48 Make the money. You do over 300, I'm guessing. And it's a really good album. And then go be the artistic genius. Sell the Gap jackets. Do all it. We love you. You back.
Starting point is 02:19:59 You know we forgiving. We ain't thinking nothing about none of that MAGA shit. Give us throne. Like, this is what I love. We ain't thinking nothing about none of that MAGA shit Give us Throne This is what I love Now if you looking close at the music people You can see what they about to do
Starting point is 02:20:10 The next 3, 4, 5 years You can shape it out now if you want to Throne is coming at some point Go give us all that shit But this boy right here now That's a lot to deal with He not coming to play with you Hey Cole here's your album.
Starting point is 02:20:26 Every word. It's cute. Memorized it. Cute. Yeah, he memorized it. He said, oh, he's doing that flow now. Watch. He got those features.
Starting point is 02:20:37 Wait till I write fucking neon electricity. You know some weird name. Kendrick. It's fucking funny. I don't know when he's coming, but I know he's inserting himself. I was a year early on that. I knew they was coming. He's inserting himself in this. And Drake, you better look at him.
Starting point is 02:20:52 Don't you look the other way. I don't care what Pusha T do. I don't care what Yaconyé do. And I don't care what Justin Laboye say to you. When Kendrick come out and say, what could Kendrick Ponce, he gonna dis a lover boy. He gonna diss a lover boy? No, he gonna, yeah. He gonna diss a lover boy.
Starting point is 02:21:07 It's gonna be something. It's gonna be something. Interwoven. The only lover boy is when I was in the gang, the Crips raised me and they shot me. It was like, oh, shit. Oh, nah, he a different lover boy. Yo, Kendrick, I'm waiting.
Starting point is 02:21:22 Word. And the bullshit about Kendrick coming as the boogeyman is scissors coming too they have their two acts coming
Starting point is 02:21:34 with heat and we haven't heard J-Rock or Schoolboy in a while so well Rock just dropped a couple years ago he's not this is what you said
Starting point is 02:21:41 a couple years ago no but I'm saying you know how when you last time you heard an Absol album it's been a while too that's what I'm saying not this is what you said a couple years ago no but I'm saying you know how when you last time you heard an Absol album it's been a while too that's what I'm saying they move like that
Starting point is 02:21:49 you get an album you disappear for three years four years and then the next one's up like that's just that's how they've been moving let me read this Kendrick Lamar note
Starting point is 02:21:56 cause some of y'all don't trust me y'all don't believe what I'm saying I'm gonna prove it to you oh yeah he talking all through here though Kendrick says
Starting point is 02:22:04 I spend most of my... Yo, he's stupid. You stop there. Like, anytime that the bad guy is bad enough, he always start with, like, the beginning of time. Like, where he started the demonizing of shit. Like, look,
Starting point is 02:22:28 I spent most of my days. We ain't heard from him in six years. I spent most of my days with fleeting thoughts. I can leave out this podcast right now. I could walk out. I could walk out. This podcast is over. Kendrick Lamar has been spending his days with fleeting thoughts
Starting point is 02:22:45 i know what fleeting means but i'll continue to read writing listening and collecting old beach cruisers the morning rides uh keep me on the hill of silence writing listening period yeah yeah let's get in period period and collecting cars he's just trying to throw us off there we don't care about the morning rides keep me on a hill of he's talking come on now no he's talking
Starting point is 02:23:11 come on Joe see I see this too I know what that's like listen next line I always say something he says I go months without a phone
Starting point is 02:23:20 come on months kill a moon yup I kill you know ish hold on hold on is. Kill a moon. Yup. I kill. You know, Ish. Yo, the last.
Starting point is 02:23:25 Hold on, hold on, Ish. Kill a moon. Take you to sports. Yo, LeBron getting his zero dark 30. Right? That's what we talking about. I go months without a phone. I'm off the grid.
Starting point is 02:23:37 I'm going to do you worse than that. When LeBron say that, he go face the same opponent for a seven game series. Kendrick is saying, saying yo i haven't touched my phone in nine months but last time i did i heard your bullshit song and i saw you doing bullshit and that's the last memory i have look love loss and grief have disturbed my comfort zone i was comfortable but y'all niggas got on my nerves. But the glimmers of God speak through my music and family. The glimmers of God.
Starting point is 02:24:16 I didn't even know God had glimmers. You never listened to a Kendrick album. Come on, man. While the world around me evolves evolves i reflect on what matters most the life in which my words will land next oh this helps me crazy i don't hear what he's saying some poetic shirt he has a headache his head is pounding right now if i'm thinking of this shit. He better go take the whole bottle of ibuprofen. As I produce my final TDE album,
Starting point is 02:24:49 I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The struggles, the success, and most importantly, the brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dog as a vessel for candid creators as I continue to pursue my life's calling. There's beauty in completion and always faith in the unknown. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I've prayed for you all. See you soon enough.
Starting point is 02:25:15 Now I don't know about y'all. Period. I take see you soon enough as a threat. That's threat level red right there. All of that was a threat. Even him praying for us. I pray for you all. Why are you praying for me, dog?
Starting point is 02:25:28 It's like telling me to be safe. Nigga, I'm safe. Don't tell me to be safe. Yo, that was, I'll open up the floor. Candyman's coming. Ladies and gentlemen. Listen, this is me putting y'all on notice. That's all it is.
Starting point is 02:25:48 Yo, I seen it. I heard it. I'm on the way. And I'll read this from Punch as well. Punch says it's funny when things change because most of the time we automatically assume it's something negative, especially in this business. It's rarely seen as growth. Growth is a great thing and it's essential for life. Life happens in stages and life happens in stages stages and this particular stage is almost complete. Kendrick is a generational artist who has accomplished so much and has contributed immensely to this thing we call hip-hop. Yeah, let me look at y'all. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 02:26:23 It's only right for him to continue to evolve and build his own business and brand how he sees fit. In fact, we encourage it. We want each and every artist we work with at TDE to build and grow and be self-sufficient. That's the whole point. Also, please remember that this is family and will always continue to be so. Album coming soon. LOL. Interesting LOL. In parentheses.
Starting point is 02:26:50 After that beautiful beautiful beautiful speech and they both dropped this at the same time same day kendrick has the science meetings that drake has too with his team like this is plant his next year is plant it's plant to a t is cemented it can't move well this has been in talks like there's been rumors and mumblings for over a year about this because Kendrick and Dave Freelance launched something. Yeah, the website. Yeah, the PG line.
Starting point is 02:27:11 And they were like, well, what is it? Is it his own company? Is it his own, like, no one knows what it is still. We still don't know fully what's going on. Right.
Starting point is 02:27:19 So it's been little rumblings like, oh, is he leaving TDE? Like, is he retiring? What's going on? We don't know. There's been rumblings with Kendrick and the TDE thing. I've also heard rumblings like oh is he leaving tde like is he retiring what's going on we've been rumblings with kendrick and the tde thing i've also heard rumblings with meek and ross there's a lot of rumblings that out of respect we just yeah never touch but you hear the rumble you do hear them yeah oh i'll cut you off no no i'm just saying like he he to your point he has his plan
Starting point is 02:27:42 his next year couple years are set in stone for him what he wants to do you know and hey look if they say it's all good we gotta shut up and applaud that i mean they had a hell of a run man if kendrick and drake make us wait till 2030 to get whatever the fuck they about to do like in terms of addressing each other because this has to come i'm telling you something i've been saying a few years they have to address each other it ain't gonna keep being what do you think it's gonna you think it's gonna really happen why would they do it though because you have to you have to it's hip-hop you have is not i know i know i know i know i know the two niggas at the tell me a time and where it hasn't happened where the two dudes at the top don't talk to each other. They have to.
Starting point is 02:28:25 They have to. You can't just keep poetic justice. You can't just keep I love bad bitches on the fucking prom. Y'all keep bumping into each other. Like y'all avoid each other because y'all operate in different spaces, but y'all keep bumping into each other artistically
Starting point is 02:28:37 because y'all are that great. You cannot do it. That Kendrick shit, that control verse, I don't know that he was talking to anybody. That was a trick maybe. All these other niggas got mad. Me included.
Starting point is 02:28:49 Nigga, shut up. Hey, hey. I wish he would have just texted me. Yo, I ain't talking to you, nigga. I don't care nothing about you. Fucking loser. He should have said, like, if Kendrick get on his shit, this is, it has to happen. It has to happen.
Starting point is 02:29:03 I don't think so. They told me the same thing about you and Drake. See, and this is why I say it has to happen too because the top the top has to look like the personalities at the top.
Starting point is 02:29:16 Kendrick can play all the scoy shit he want. He is an animal. Yes. Yeah, we know that. A threat to society. But in the personalities
Starting point is 02:29:24 of the individuals Drake is petty. But in the personalities of the individuals Drake is petty. Drake gonna fuck your girlfriend from 6th grade. He probably would. To prove a point today. Kendrick might come from something else. I know. So it's a clash. I'm not gonna feed into it. You need two people to tango.
Starting point is 02:29:39 You need two people to argue. And this is where the Joe Budden theory comes into play. Y'all are right. Until now. TDE's moving. Which means they can't silence me no more. They're getting out of the way.
Starting point is 02:30:00 No punch. No top. The mystery that comes with how they run things. The influence. The big brother. The yo chill. The fab. The whole calling fab to say, yo, don't go to the studio.
Starting point is 02:30:16 That part. That part has been there. And it's leaving now. React. Y'all don't care about that part. No, it's a possibility but everything in the world is a possibility i want you to foresight with me foresight he might be a different type of nigga street nigga like man i'm not dealing with that it's a possibility i don't know him i'm just
Starting point is 02:30:35 saying it's a possibility i spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts writing listening and collecting old beach cruisers the morning rides keep me on a hill of silence i go months without a phone love loss and grief have disturbed my peace, you bitch-ass niggas. But the glimmers of God keep me from destroying you because I can crush you with my hands whenever I feel like it. It's what he's saying.
Starting point is 02:30:54 And if time ain't there to stop it, there will be a clash. And I'm shutting up. Let's move on. Maybe so. Let's move on. Yeah, we can move on. But maybe.
Starting point is 02:31:04 I don't know I think he's evolved to a point where it's not in the game y'all stop it I don't want to see no Drake push a T
Starting point is 02:31:13 nothing stop adding push a T to group chats that I don't think Drake is even in I don't want to see none of that shit
Starting point is 02:31:19 all of the beef that y'all got trying to get round to with the recycle shit I don't want to see Tori and Cassidy again. It's over. Sorry. Nicky, Cardi, all of the big ones, we got them. They over.
Starting point is 02:31:29 There's only one left. Lupe Roy, sorry. Move it. There's one beef remaining. And we need it. Do not rob us of it. And when I say beef, I don't mean like violence. Yeah, I know. You want to hear the two titans go at it.
Starting point is 02:31:46 But then, in this climate, it might not stop at music. No, we talking about Drake and Kendrick. No, no, that's good. That's just music. That's just music. All right. Do I have any more music takes for y'all? I don't.
Starting point is 02:32:02 I've been giving it to you today. I don't. You got something? to you today i don't you got something let me just check and make sure i'm oh day uh dame lillard i'm i'm not gonna talk about it because i'm coming in here with a whole segment to appreciate dame lillard okay okay dame lillard dropped the album album's great dame lillard debuted a new sneaker. Dan Lillard scored 41 points at the Weber State reunion game. He just been bugging living life. And that's my thing in my 40s now. I'm looking at the dudes that's living.
Starting point is 02:32:34 They just living. They're just having a good time out there. Oh, I do have a music tape. They make 40s and 50s look real good. I totally forgot. I have a music tape. For that boy to be canceled, that entire Summer Jam crowd was rocking with the baby.
Starting point is 02:32:50 Summer Jam, yeah, we have to talk about it. We do have to talk about it. Who can't? But he not canceled to them. I'm just telling you. You get what I'm saying? Like, he not canceled to them. We knew they wasn't taking him off that stage. And I saw why.
Starting point is 02:33:04 Why? Tell us. He has records, and they loved him out there. He came on. He had a video shouting out Hot 97, thanking them for willing to step out while everybody else was canceling them. All right. And now that you saw that video, react.
Starting point is 02:33:22 Let's get right to it. Let's cut through okay summer jam happened it was sunday the baby performed it was rain a lot of people performed it looked like a real amazing time hot 97 summer jam how y'all avoid those weather problems every year man kudos to y'all hats off to y'all the stage looked great uh a lot of old older veteran mcs grace in the stage that made me feel good. But you got to, that got to feed off of that versus energy.
Starting point is 02:33:47 So I like that. When that energy is out there, you got to follow the energy. That's how it works, right? And they performers. And they were performing. But a few weeks before, we were saying that the one place
Starting point is 02:34:00 that has not canceled the baby at a festival is Hot 97 Summer Jam. and we chuckled to each other we said we had a lot of behind the scenes jokes and talks and i'll just give it to you because i'm not here to play games today what was implied was man can i 97 afford to not let the baby perform there like the baby's huge I know they're going through something, but maybe they're forced to stand by him. That was the undertone. And then Summer Jam happens.
Starting point is 02:34:32 Beautiful event. The baby plays a video piece in the front, apologizing yet again, saying that he had a long talk with Hot 97 before they booked him. He made himself clear to them they felt confident
Starting point is 02:34:46 and they were gonna support they were gonna move forward and then he did the show but when he said that I rethought my entire stance I rethought the jokes and I had a deeper talk with myself
Starting point is 02:34:58 and I said Hot 97 home of hip hop in New York did we need that And I didn't even know it Are they setting a tone They should've Yeah
Starting point is 02:35:09 That's deep We ain't think about that Not at all We ain't think about that Not at all We done And if we gonna beef about Cancel culture
Starting point is 02:35:17 The way we do And the fake power That they swear they have Then we gotta acknowledge Some of the people That stand by you in hip-hop. See, because when you say hip-hop, you kind of got to stand by some things.
Starting point is 02:35:31 I know that he's that big to where, you know, he got the gays, he got everybody, so they could just get him the fuck out of here. But when you're not that big, and you're just in hip-hop, you got to stand by some things. Your favorite artist has done something, said something,
Starting point is 02:35:47 horrible lyrics, shot something, fucking distant from his family, used a weapon, committed a crime. Like you sign up for whatever you sign up for. I want to applaud Hot 97 for standing by the baby. I do.
Starting point is 02:36:00 Because if they don't, who will? I agree. The train keeps going. Well, I asked myself that, and then I felt even more proud that it was New York. See, New York is a melting pot. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 02:36:12 Right. New York kind of has to make the statement. New York has to say, hey, fam, you know, like, I got to preface everything with, yo, I love the LGBTQ community. New York don't have to do that, because New York is that. New York is that't have to do that because New York is that. New York is that. New York is this.
Starting point is 02:36:28 New York is that. New York is everything. So you kind of have to be in support of and hear everybody. And when I looked at it like that, I'm real glad that they stood by him. I'm not condoning what he said and what he did. Mm-hmm. But we ain't trying to end him. He ain't dead.
Starting point is 02:36:45 No, especially a young black kid. We all make mistakes. His are just on the camera. And his just came after the fame. And get scrutiny. You know what I'm saying? He didn't know. And where he come from,
Starting point is 02:36:59 he might not have picked that up. And that's kind of why y'all like him. Because of where he come from and his story and his road travel. So you don't get to judge the information that he has or doesn't have when he makes a mistake. I mean, did he kill? Well, that's a different story. But I'm just saying you have to appreciate the companies. Because this ain't even about DaBaby right now.
Starting point is 02:37:19 For me, it's about Hot. Yeah. Hot 97 did what the fuck they had to do. I'm sure they might have had a little bit of sponsor pushback they could they got pushback i'm sure they got all that and they still stood with them yeah they still rocked out with them that was big i gotta point it out because i just like how i like how they did that fam that's summer jam show it was good i think this who's the headliner i don't know a boogie Oh okay Everybody look good The Summer Jam show Started at about 5.30
Starting point is 02:37:47 It ended at 1 That don't usually Like that was In the rain In the rain Pouring down rain They usually shut it down Once it starts raining
Starting point is 02:37:56 No Yo they got the worst luck With rain right Yeah Every year Every year But this year was funny Because it's not normally
Starting point is 02:38:03 In August Like I be thinking I think the weather gods have them lined up for June. They still caught them on a random day in August. Now I got you. You're not leaving this rain. But they had Cardi. They had Offset. They had fucking.
Starting point is 02:38:16 Migos, Meek. Bobby Shmurda, Rowdy. The Rough Riders tribute that Swiss pulled up. Swiss. That was great. I mean, the Rough Riders. The DMX tribute Excuse me
Starting point is 02:38:25 He had The Locks came out Busta Fat Joe and Remy And he said X don't like people Performing his songs So they didn't do any X records
Starting point is 02:38:34 They you know Play a little bit But not perform the song It was It was a great tribute man Fat Joe out M.O.P Yeah M.O.P
Starting point is 02:38:43 Brim Lil' Kim Lil' Kim Lil' Kim It was just good It looked and felt like New York I guess that was another reason I was real proud That they handled it like New York
Starting point is 02:38:51 CJ brought Wu-Tang out Oh yeah? Yeah What's the correlation there? Staten Island Oh he's from Staten Island Okay That's dope
Starting point is 02:38:59 Without Raygos and Meff They went through some records That's dope Yeah I'm gonna watch this It looked like a nice veteran showing up. It was Matt Allhead. It was Matt Allhead. I like to see that.
Starting point is 02:39:09 And see the Allheads get into the stage show back. See, that's what I was going to say. They really be performing. Again, and we saw it in the verses. Young kids sell tickets. We saw it in the verses. Yo, the locks really know how to perform, yo. Like, little things.
Starting point is 02:39:23 When Kim came out and performed, she was a little windy. Jada picks up immediately. He's finishing lines for her. You know, when Wu-Tang comes out, the mic that Meth had, I guess that was the third mic, that's like a, it's very low. Like, the locks peep that. They switching mics. Yeah, they was.
Starting point is 02:39:41 Soon as somebody, yo, your mic low, in the middle of your verse, here, take this one. Like, it's just little tricks that you don't be in the game. They locks with singing niggas whole verses for them. Like, Styles P was like,
Starting point is 02:39:52 yo, when he was fucking with Cam, remember him and Cam was kicking each other on the chair and all that? Jada sung his whole verse. Oh, yeah. We didn't even really notice it because that's how
Starting point is 02:40:01 fluid them niggas move. Brings out the Isley Brothers to perform one of X's favorite records. This was ill. This was an ill show. Like, Hot 97. They caught this.
Starting point is 02:40:11 They definitely caught this. I'm going to watch this. I'm mad I missed it. I got home, and I didn't even know it was on. I just saw somebody tweet it was on Tidal. I was like, oh, shit. It's been like a real complete weekend of learning things about myself and others through music. I was watching the Hot 97
Starting point is 02:40:28 shit Meek came out. He did Dreams and Nightmares. Really big song for him. I never thought about it before. But I think that's a love song. Yeah, that's definitely your brain
Starting point is 02:40:44 working on its own. I think it's a love song. Listen's definitely your brain working on its own i think it's a love song uh listen to the lyrics listen to this this is what i learned about myself i really like girls that know the words to dreams and nightmares okay you do too i know and you don't know it no i know i know i do i'm thinking about all our jersey girls nights all all the strip club nights, and I'm thinking about just the last time I was in a strip club and Dreams and Nightmares came on. I looked around at the girls that knew the words. I like them. Dreams and Nightmares came on in the after party
Starting point is 02:41:16 and turned that entire house upside down. Yep. When you lock eyes with one of them, as they are rapping the song. They be As they are rapping They be hyper though They be hyper They get hyper as the song progresses In the front It's a love song still
Starting point is 02:41:33 You look at each other in the club You both drinking You both start telling each other About what you prayed for Y'all used to pray for times like We gonna get back She cheated on you That's when you said Hold up wait a minute Y'all used to pray for times like this. We gonna get back. No. She cheated on you.
Starting point is 02:41:48 That's when you said, hold up, wait a minute. What the fuck is she talking about? Yo, you know why it's funny? Look. You lock eyes with her. Now you're talking about your prayers together. You're talking about the grind. Y'all came up together, right?
Starting point is 02:42:03 I'm not gonna drag this out. It's funny because Meek talks about parking seven different cars in this song and you locked eyes with her and she's rapping along i double parked a phantom and you're looking at her and she looked great but you like you know bitches can't park like she's lying now so she double parked what she didn't do what he did. Whatever he said in the song, he parked like eight different cars. Phantom's so big, can't even fit in the parking spot. That was the first way.
Starting point is 02:42:30 He parked another car. I parked on this nigga's grass. Girls say the same thing about a Civic. I have to pee. Yo, my mic off. No, it's perfectly fine. Your voice sounds better than I've ever heard you sound. Nice, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:42:51 I ain't turning your mic off. If you haven't checked out Summer Jam, even if it was a title stream of Summer Jam, check it out, man. They did good. Yeah, they really did. And our hats off to them because to put on this type of show this many years in a row like to have to reinvent redefine get people out under bad
