Starting point is 00:23:18 Didn't really like the slotting of it. Yeah, I hated the slotting. I loved the slotting of it. I know, and we'll find out your reason shortly. I hated the slotting. I loved the slotting of it. I know, and we'll find out your reason shortly. I hated the slotting. That should have been Saturday. Yeah, they had their big Super Cat performance on Saturday. They made a big weekend out of it.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Hopefully it was profitable. I thought Super Cat was opening up for them. No. Yeah. I realize that, obviously. Ice, why did you love the slotting? Tell us now, actually, so we can... Yeah, let's get your bullshit out of the way.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Let's get you right out the way at the top. At the top. It gave me a reason to not watch. And, let's get your bullshit out of the way. Let's get you right out the way at the top. At the top. It gave me a reason to not watch. And you was nodding your head to nice and smooth. Well, I knew I wasn't watching, but I didn't want to just come in and say I did nothing and not watch. But you schedule it at the same time Steeler football is on. Oh, great.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Now I got an excuse. Damn, I'm mad. I didn't know the versus was happening because I was watching the Steeler game. I missed it. So y'all tell me how it was because I didn't see it Cause I was watching The Steeler game I missed it So So y'all tell me how it was Cause I didn't see it I was watching Steeler game It was fucking beautiful
Starting point is 00:24:09 You wouldn't have wanted To see it anyway Well I would have wanted To see it had I known If the Steelers wasn't Playing at that time Hey shut up You didn't want to see it
Starting point is 00:24:16 This is hip hop Hip hop royalty right here And this is why I grilled him like that At the top of the bar It's hip hop royalty here Okay I didn't see it
Starting point is 00:24:24 It wasn't Dirk versus... Dirk is not doing the versus. ESTG. But if he did, you would have stopped that Steelers game. What? You would have stopped that Steelers game. So would everyone else. You would have stopped that Steelers game.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And they would have said, Najee who? And they would have said, Najee who? You know what's funny? Y'all putting a lot of pressure on Dirk to perform. You, academics, there's a few of y'all. What do you mean? I'm not putting pressure on Dirk. Y'all putting a lot of pressure on him to put up.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Jordan numbers, Kobe numbers. Real early. No. Y'all. Not me. Fans will do it, won't they? But anyway, come on. We're not talking about that right now.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah, because not me. Kane, KRS-One, Sunday evening, I'm freezing my ass off outside, dying to get out of there. And I'm like, fam, I could just go home and watch Kane and KRS- Karis one I did miss the first 20 minutes I missed it missed the first 20 minutes um and by the time I got it on see the opening is my favorite part to see because it tells me it tells me what I need to know I need to see the energy I need to see how we're introduced the opening songs your first exchange publicly I know y'all been talking behind the scenes but publicly
Starting point is 00:25:26 who's gonna stick to the script who's not that's what I like to see so I missed that so by the time I clicked it it was pandemonium already that roof had already exploded off of that building
Starting point is 00:25:37 so what do you do you retract your statement a little bit well yeah by default I have to by default default, I have to. By default, I have to. He said KRS-One was going to mop him up.
Starting point is 00:25:50 No, his statement was, why is this even happening? Because remember, he kept playing the why, why, why. I mean, I still think KRS-One. You said you think KRS-One? Yeah, I think KRS-One. It was close.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But Kane showed out. It was close. Yo, you rappers are trying... I'm going to shut up because I got killed last time I said it. But boy, the rappers are doing their best to kill Bo Taker. They're doing their best to do it. Who did it now? Everybody.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Nah. We all to blame. Okay. We all to blame. But it's all of us. Really, them Southern niggas too. He's getting that money, nigga. What you talking about?
Starting point is 00:26:26 No, no. Couldn't do that before. They're going through it. But anyway, go ahead. Anyway, no, I think it was a little more. I said that because of the Fat Joe vest. I know. Oh, nigga, Fat Joe be looking like heaven.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yeah, that nigga looking amazing. But that's why Bottega's dope, because if you don't know what it is, you just don't know what it is. No. I just know what it is, so I keep seeing it. Like, that was the first thing I said when I opened Versus. I said, look at Big Daddy Kane. God damn. I got a question for you.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Bottega down. Look at the hat. Look at it. He's a little clean. Big Daddy Kane looked like that shit. Yeah. And immediately, I was impressed and just smiling. My teeth was showing.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Joe, question. You said you're seeing botega you're interrupting hip-hop yes i am you said you're seeing botega kind of everywhere now do you think it's a situation where like like you know if you buy a new car and then you start to recognize the car everywhere no not you because you don't see your car but i'm just saying it's you don't see botega like that in the general public either but I'm saying he might be seeing it more because he started wearing it more
Starting point is 00:27:27 true so now you're in the Bottega store now you're recognizing more Bottega doesn't necessarily mean people are now jumping on it you're just recognizing it more that's what I was asking or do you think
Starting point is 00:27:38 they're jumping on it afterwards and I'm not saying because they misconstrued it last time I said it and they thought I was saying that I was responsible for the wave of Bottega. And that's not what I was saying. My what I'd be talking about is moving the goalposts. So I'll see some shit where and niggas will say, oh, my God, that's horrible and corny.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And then I'll see the rest of hip hop do the same thing and get applauded. That's what I kind of was talking about. Oh, okay. Back then. But now, no, I don't believe that because I know women who was on Bottega early and they mad. They tight.
Starting point is 00:28:13 They like, now. What are we going to do now? Everybody know what it is. It's kind of blah, blah. Before it was like, I would try to show somebody some shit and if they didn't recognize it, it was like, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:28:24 That's how it go with all this shit though. Until it. Like, I don't know about that. That's how it go with all this shit though. Until it's popping, they don't give a fuck about it. See, that's the phony shit though. Because if it's ugly, it's ugly. I don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:28:33 if this shit costs $70,000. That shit ain't popping if it ain't popping. Ish. There is no ugly. In my opinion. If it's popping or is it not popping?
Starting point is 00:28:42 There is no ugly. That's a clean suit that Big Daddy Gang got on. Mm-hmm. But that same suit. White, pink, and no ugly on it. That's a clean suit that Big Daddy Kane got on. But that same suit. White, pink, and red. Even that. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Example. A person that they don't like right now has that same suit on. They don't think that that's fire. I disagree. I'm telling you, we see it. I don't want to continue to speak about fashion when Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One just took place. But, Big Daddy Kane's fashion
Starting point is 00:29:07 is one of the first things I noticed and KRS-One fashion was one of the first things I noticed because that's how KRS-One has looked any time I've ever seen it.
Starting point is 00:29:15 It was true to form. No, it was true to form for both of them. It was KRS-One. Yeah, exactly. Graffiti on the t-shirt. True to form. Big Daddy Kane
Starting point is 00:29:22 was the suave, killing you style suit, silk suits with the rope chain. And KRS-One was the epitome of street hip hop. Right. The second thing I took away from me, and I'll toss it to you two gentlemen shortly, but the hip hop is oozing out of my soul. I can't contain myself. I stopped hearing the beats early in my viewing.
Starting point is 00:29:48 That's how much of a clinic I thought those two were putting on. Yeah. I knew the beats. Of course I know the beats. Right, right, right. And I'm not here to get into, I wasn't going to let my consumer ears trick me into, hey, how does this beat sound now?
Starting point is 00:30:06 What are they doing now? I didn't want to get into all that. Their breath control up there, both of them, their showmanship, MCing, their ability to MC. That building was packed. It was packed. And they did it different ways, too. KRS-One started falling off toward the end.
Starting point is 00:30:24 No, KRS was just doing more crowd interaction shit Which as a viewer watching it on Instagram Or something like that You don't really hear it But I'm sure at the show It was much doper It was probably But then Kane was up there
Starting point is 00:30:34 As far as breath control He was clean Getting through all his verses All the fast shit All the fast shit Yeah yeah 120 BPM the whole time Bad boy do a show
Starting point is 00:30:43 Good to go also He was doing all of that. Yeah. And telling us. Right. Hey, man, I know they killed these BPMs. They don't do this no more, but this is how you do this. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And then it's like, whoa. And then I'm in the comments. I'm seeing Pusha T. I'm seeing all of the dudes out there. But really, as I'm watching Kane, for me, the first person I thought of was Hov, of course. Of course. The first person I thought of. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And then I just go down the family tree. And then with KRS-One, damn, who the fuck did I think of? Oh, he was hugging Busta Rhymes. He was hugging Busta Rhymes. He was just hugging some of the OGs, same with Kane. And I'm like, well, yeah, these are the OGs. These are the OGs. Look how the OGs are looking at the OGs.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I like to see that. That's dope. I love to see that. That's lineage. And they went up there and showed exactly why, even still, all of these years later. I was just impressed. This is the first time I wasn't going,
Starting point is 00:31:42 I wasn't hearing the verses. I was not hearing the verses. I was not hearing the verses. It was a show. I was too busy learning. Oh, yeah. I wasn't thinking about this one beat that one. At all. At all.
Starting point is 00:31:51 At all. They was asking me, how do you think it went? I know you said this, but you seen what happened? I can't tell you. Right. Because I was engulfed, engaged. I was being taught. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:03 None of, I was being too grateful nothing in my life damn near is possible if these two dudes don't go do that so while it wasn't many of us watching on instagram like when i was there was 110 of us i watched it for a little bit because i had to go do some family shit so i wanted to still watch it so i was on an ig it 110,000 of us in there. But boy, the quality of those people and just the appreciation and even in the building when they was doing the call and response
Starting point is 00:32:31 and the crowd was, it was just electric for me. Yeah. It was, and this was the first time that I had the option to, that they showed me the thing, the thing I'm a jiggy wear,
Starting point is 00:32:42 they wanted me to pay. Because I did try to turn it on on the fight app. I paid. The Triller fight app. I watched it on Triller. I watched it on Triller. I didn't have to pay.
Starting point is 00:32:51 No, I paid. I think it was $3 or something. $2.99. Yeah. $2.99. It was a real good price. I paid. I paid.
Starting point is 00:32:57 I paid that. I paid. The Triller was free still, I think. I didn't pay nothing. You might have been on IG with us. Huh? You might have been on IG with us huh you might have been on IG with us
Starting point is 00:33:06 no I was on Triller on the laptop oh see I've never tried it on the laptop yeah me too overall just a real electric experience for me all the features
Starting point is 00:33:16 that came out all of that shit was dope yo this was hip this was hip hop history again for someone like me I didn't see what features
Starting point is 00:33:23 like I didn't even know Dots FX came out Nice Crew came out oh that's features? Dots FX came out. Nice Groove came out. Oh, that's why you. Okay. Who else came out? Channel Live did.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Channel Live came out. Buckshot. Buckshot Shorty came out. I saw Roxanne Shante got up there for a little minute. Oh, yeah. The whole minus Cool G. Juice Groove came out. That was the only thing that was disappointing. It was like, damn there for a little minute. Oh, yeah. The whole, well, minus Cool G, Juice Group came out. That was the only thing that was disappointing. It was like, damn, Cool G didn't come out, dog.
Starting point is 00:33:50 For the symphony? Cool G rap? They said Cool G rap. They tried to get Cool G rap for both people, but he declined. Yeah. Master Ace came out. Master G. Craig G came out.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It was somebody else in that, in the symphony. But it still was a rap hip hop clinic. It was like a show. Like if you paid to go to this it was almost like going to a concert. You got a concert. Absolutely like going to a concert. You got a concert.
Starting point is 00:34:12 And Kid Capri was DJing in Scratch so the DJing was fucking top notch. doing a little back and forth shit. Okay. I lost my mind
Starting point is 00:34:20 when Nice and Smooth came out. I lost my mind when Nice and Smooth came out. And then looking when nice and smooth came out and then looking at smooth b i thought i thought i thought jay-z again like i just thought things today at 40 that i would have never i wasn't able to think back then like just that presence yeah and just being aura all of these guys had to be the lyrical guy at that time. Yeah. Like, niggas wasn't playing with Smooth B. I tweeted it.
Starting point is 00:34:48 People wasn't playing with Smooth B's pen back then. My young brain knew that. He was the guy. And as I grew up, that never changed. Same with Kane. Like, when you have to be the guy. Fam. That guy.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Big Daddy Kane told him. that guy Big Daddy Kane told him he said something about the Juice crew wanted him to shoot at KRS and he lucky I spared him he said some little slick shit they were saying little slick shit back and forth
Starting point is 00:35:16 which kept the verses energy but at the end of the day it was a hip hop show it was like a classic hip hop show they were telling stories about how Kane helped KRS move I told you the story I said it was a hip-hop show it was like a classic hip-hop show yeah they were telling stories about how they uh can't help krs moving oh then i told you the story i said it on a pod you said a couple weeks ago he told that story he said yo my very first apartment outside my mother's crib miss melody rest in peace and krs1 helped me move my couch my tv my bed into that spot so while they were shooting each other there, there was genuine love and camaraderie.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Respect, love, and camaraderie for each other that you could just see. Cool G Rap would be the outlier. Right? I was mad that he didn't come there. I'm not going to lie. You know he in my tops. You know that nigga's in my tops.
Starting point is 00:35:59 He in everybody's top. Yeah. He in everybody's top. You know what I mean? But nah, this was dope. Red Alert came out. Yeah, it was dope. It was came out. Yeah, that was dope. It was dope.
Starting point is 00:36:07 But, again, a lot of these young cats don't even know none of this. The whole B-Boy Rock City crew. They don't know what that is. Oh, my God. They don't know what that is. Hey, come on, man. They don't know what that is. Red Alert, damn near 70, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:20 It saddens me that the, and I, not to be the old guy, what did Neil DeGrasse call me the guy stuck in the cave. Damn. You lying. God.
Starting point is 00:36:31 He science dissed you. Word. You Neanderthal ass nigga. You fucking cave dweller. Light a fire
Starting point is 00:36:39 you dumb motherfucker. Yo why is that so funny? You ain't even evolved yet. Yo coming from the smartest nigga on this planet that's funny. That's why that so funny? You ain't even evolved yet. Yo, coming from the smartest nigga on this planet, there's money, nigga. That's why that's funny.
Starting point is 00:36:49 You fucking me, man. Because now what you going to say? What you going to say? Nothing. Nothing. You Star Trek. Tell me why I am. Yo, Star Trek.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Tell me why I am, Neil. Okay, Captain Kirk. And he did tell me, but I still disagree with what he said. Fuck that shit, man. That's funny. Damn, you forgot what I was saying man
Starting point is 00:37:05 you all stupid he said the nigga called you a cave before that he was talking about red alert and crazy legs oh it sad
Starting point is 00:37:13 it saddens me that the newer the newer generation and the younger kids fuck not having appreciation cause they missed it
Starting point is 00:37:23 they didn't go back I'm not gonna be that cave man but it saddens missed it they didn't go back I'm not going to be that cave man but it saddens me that they don't at least speak more to having gratitude that this pathway exists because of some of these people
Starting point is 00:37:36 that that's true but some are predecessors is that their fault? I don't care my brain didn't even get that I'm not assessing blame I don't know I don't know I'm not assessing blame I don't know
Starting point is 00:37:45 I don't know I'm just saying How I feel And it just Saddens me I think I damn near was brought to tears Watching this shit
Starting point is 00:37:53 I'm sure What the fuck do I do What do you do Without Them Them And those two KRS-One said it too
Starting point is 00:38:03 He said yo It wasn't that many jokers It was him Rakim Rakim Big Daddy Kane And Slick Rick Is the four that he named
Starting point is 00:38:11 I think he said Cool G too I don't think so But Cool G is one of them Cool G rap Undoubtedly It's one of them
Starting point is 00:38:19 But Again dog And Cool G rap came out later He came later But When I was in Elementary school These niggas wasn't playing. Right. So again, fam, nothing takes, there's no Jay-Z without them.
Starting point is 00:38:32 There's no DMX without them. As I old you are, I didn't even have to remember that Coogee Rap came later. You said that. You are old. He did. I know he did. Oh, okay. When you say that.
Starting point is 00:38:41 But boy, you old. Yo, fam, these niggas was got. You knew that off the, you was there. Yo, you hear. Oh, okay. When you say that. But now, yo, fam, these niggas was got. You knew that off the, you was there. Yo, you hear him? You right. He was at the Coconut Spice. Yo, he's so stupid, yo. I think if I wrote the riches.
Starting point is 00:38:53 That nigga is correct. That nigga was got in school. I was. Yo, you was there for Cool G's rollout. I was. That's ridiculous, but go ahead. Go ahead, man. But anyway, nah, dog, like, you Like you gotta think As far as hip hop is going
Starting point is 00:39:05 Like Jay Z's a billionaire Kanye West's a billionaire Right There's none of that Without these niggas No doubt Look at the path That hip hop has
Starting point is 00:39:11 Paved Right For just black entrepreneurs Right Like that's something We take lightly But hip hop is opening The door for a lot
Starting point is 00:39:20 Of black wealth Man hip hop has become A global force But for I'm just saying But for blacks Like urban blacks That wouldn't have had for a lot of black wealth. Man, hip-hop has become a global force. I'm just saying, but for blacks, like urban blacks that wouldn't have had potentially another way to make no bread, hip-hop is that vice for a lot of niggas. And that's why it...
Starting point is 00:39:34 I agree. Like, that's amazing, my nigga. Like, you gotta applaud these niggas. And that's why it saddens me because look at all the things that had to happen for some of our legends to be appreciated correctly or get a bag swiss gotta get with timberland and they gotta go get with apple and then wait till that deal is up and then go get with trilla they need to come up with this
Starting point is 00:39:57 amazing concept i like the show proof of concept that was dope and now we're here well that's kind of what i was saying and now we're here when Yeah, it was. Well, that's kind of what I was saying, Joe. And now we're here. When I asked you- Boy, that's some bullshit. When I asked you, is it their fault? It takes something like this here to kind of teach this to the kids. Because somebody young have no idea, and where would they learn it from? I got you, though.
Starting point is 00:40:18 But once you get engulfed in the culture, right? It's like, again, Charles Barkley and them. When I tell you them niggas worship the Bill Russell's they worship the dr. J's like they pay homage to them like that's they dad right and that's dope when you hear Shaq talk to them Shaq calls the mister he like that's one is the Russian removed ish I'm talking about but let's not know when you go from I'm talking about like a rookie today hip-hop was bad for some of us, man.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Word. I didn't have to be the guy to say it. No, it's true. But I thought it as I was watching the places. So what I'm saying is, once you become a part of hip hop, in my opinion, you got to go listen to old hip hop rappers. That's how you get sharper. I disagree with that.
Starting point is 00:41:02 They don't have to do that. And they won't do that. But what I'm saying is, once you become a part of an ever-evolving hip-hop because that's important the hip-hop that let's say i start rapping today the hip-hop today drake is your og drake is an og correct so which is why you hear these young dudes say wayne future drake are the that's the beginning to their pinnacle you give them saying they don't know anything before that so that's why I say is it their fault because where are they gonna learn it from how are they even gonna know to go look up Big Daddy Kane you don't there's no there's not
Starting point is 00:41:36 no there's no hip-hop like library there's no hip-hop encyclopedia there's no where do they go to if someone wanted to become a fully a full student of the game if they looked up big daddy kane i'd be mad that they didn't look up clark kent like that wouldn't you get what i'm saying satisfy me you you wouldn't well it's just saying but that's for the djs to do i agree with ice and and what y'all are discussing but what i get from what is she saying which i agree with even though he didn't say it is i just feel there should be some type of responsibility to be had by by the participants i agree with y'all but i'm saying if let's i'm gonna use myself if i was to come in if i'm a young dude trying to come in and rap where how do you begin to even research it you know what i'm saying like ice they're the they're the tech generation youtube
Starting point is 00:42:23 got everything i'm saying it wrong. There's no lane for them to just go and say, yo, we know this came from this, from this, from this, from this, from this. But when you start saying 50 greatest basketball players. You start saying where they're influenced by, that's where they go. These cats go to Wayne. These cats go to Drake. So that's why I said it took something like this here to teach them. We didn't have this before.
Starting point is 00:42:49 So it took verses. It was a walk down memory lane. Again, a lot of these kids wasn't even born. Look at the crowd. This was such a thing. Oh, no, you seen the old heads in the crowd. Word for word. I'm talking about old white boys in the crowd word for word like going crazy multi-syllable
Starting point is 00:43:07 yo going crazy i seen girls in the crowd bro work mouth in every single word i know but you saw it in a militant fashion it was militant and that speaks to the crowd control that speaks to what they were doing from the stage that That's what was emanating. If that's the word I'm looking for, that was from them. Look at this. That crowd.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Even Buckshot is an old head to these niggas. I know, that's why it was beautiful. And he paying homage bowing down to them niggas. You got to. This shit is amazing.
Starting point is 00:43:39 You got to. I agree. Which is why I didn't hear none of that. Versus what? Versus who? But again, I didn't hear none of that Versus what? Versus who? I don't care Like they been saying
Starting point is 00:43:50 This is a celebration This is a true celebration right here This is niggas getting That's what Versus kind of turned into Niggas getting they flowers When a young person watch this This is a history lesson for you In real time.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Like, these niggas was, yo, bro. Like y'all said. My bad. I didn't mean to cut you off. Like you said, you're seeing Pusha T. You're seeing cats that the younger cats do know in the comments blown away. It's like, okay, these are who they looked up to. This is a- Well, the crazy shit, too, is a lot of these guys, Pusha T, Kanye, Hov, if you go back
Starting point is 00:44:29 and listen to Kane and Chris records, you'll hear mad bars that people reused and recycled and flipped into some new shit. They do. The whole shit. Watching that shit. They do. You damn near could rap half of it and never have heard the song. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Because it'd be a whole punchline, a whole chorus, a whole something that they took from that's true one of kane's shit you are just such a journey for me man just and even again i keep saying in what what i think today versus what i thought then look at fat joe amazed like we all should be but anyway fucking uh like when when i get the job done came on uh kane boy was i happy to hear that song right but when that song came out me as a fucking nine year old or how old i was at that time i was just jamming and i was like oh shit, Kane's on the radio. I'm jamming. Awesome, I love Kane. He should be there. Today, I hear an act trying to get a single out. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:45:38 That's what I hear today. Definitely. And then I come to greater understand what his plight was. All of them. Back then. All of them. As a lyrical guy trying to get a radio single out with no internet, no whatever. It was funny.
Starting point is 00:45:58 It's you versus Rakim. It's you versus G-Rap. KLS1. It's you versus Slick Rick. Hey,Rap K-R-S-1 It's you versus Slick Rick Hey Hey the greatest Adventures of Slick Rick Just dropped
Starting point is 00:46:08 That's a hard thing Your move Your move That's what I be Thinking about When that happens Cause I be joking around Just from my era
Starting point is 00:46:18 With like It was funny too Speaking of eras When he said something To the effect of You had an album out I only had a single out. You had more money.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I could only I could only drink Heinekens back then. But like that thought process it doesn't really work like that anymore. A single might be you might be more
Starting point is 00:46:35 financially popular than the album. Times have changed. Yeah. Totally. And he probably didn't get his
Starting point is 00:46:42 advance money yet. Right. He was on cold chill. He probably wasn't even really advance money yet right he's on cold chill you gotta think about that he's like yo no we was having drinks but i wasn't on hennessy yet because he was like yo you was a hennessy nigga he's like no no no not yet i was still drinking heineken's i ain't had no money like that's crazy the nostalgia that they you know what i mean that they shared that shit was crazy the history what those eyes have seen who they look up to like my brain just going down a rabbit hole my brain goes down a rabbit hole when dudes when when that's happening it's bonnie g and i was real glad that
Starting point is 00:47:17 i saw this i was real glad that i was wrong about whatever i said going into it i was whatever i said going into it thank god I said going into it, thank God I was wrong and thank God I was stupid enough to be wrong and not even think about the fucking, the awe that I would just be in and just the lessons and just the gratitude with that space. That feeling that took
Starting point is 00:47:38 over me, I'm going to shut up because I don't think so many of y'all shared that with me. But it's something. It's a lot to do though. Don't get it fucked up. Thereall share that with me. But it's something. It's a lot to do, though. Don't get it fucked up. There's a lot. There's a lot to do.
Starting point is 00:47:49 No, there are. I'm just saying. But he a rapper. You get what I'm saying? Like, I'm not going to look at it in the same capacity that he going to look at it because I don't rap. I'm just a fan of music, and I was outside
Starting point is 00:48:00 when these niggas was running around. So he looking at it differently, though. It's like, nigga raps. So again, they paved the way for every rapper today. Yeah. Literally. Like, no, not. No, you're not exaggerating.
Starting point is 00:48:14 I'm talking about literally. They paved the way for every single rapper today. The rappers today can't out-wrap them that way. No, they can't. I was with rappers. With that control. I was with rappers. Some of control. I was with rappers. Some of my people in Elmira
Starting point is 00:48:26 were watching this shit and they were just like, bro, he's going crazy. Kane's going crazy. You know, Kane went crazy. He went nuts. And they didn't necessarily, nor did I necessarily grow up on it.
Starting point is 00:48:33 We went back to certain shit, but. And that's where I was wrong coming into it. Bro. Because coming into it, I was thinking about records and songs. Right. And some people are just greater
Starting point is 00:48:43 than their catalog could ever display and that's what they was killing they was like yo like people that are my age on Twitter on Instagram was like yo Kane about to get busy in here like Jokers would his aura was that of Jay Z he's really him
Starting point is 00:48:59 like his aura was like Jay Z if you had to compare him to somebody he was yesteryear's Jay-Z. Right? As far as stardom. Like, he was a superstar. And that, you get points for that. Like, you can't discredit that.
Starting point is 00:49:15 You know what I mean? Like, I don't care what he up there saying, you can't discredit that. And that nigga was a rapper, rapper, bro. All the technical and lyrics. All of that fat. Yeah yeah yeah now i'm you know what now from this point moving forward and i knew this already but you're gonna shut up thank god you get to have things reaffirmed for you from this point moving forward i will assume anyone that is locked in my top 15 of all time to farewell in these.
Starting point is 00:49:46 The end. Yeah. Because they made it to your top 15 for a reason. Right. They're there. They're there. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:49:53 That's it. Like, we don't need to keep being surprised that Jadakiss keeps popping up and being him. Right, right. Why do we keep getting,
Starting point is 00:50:02 oh shit, he's a murderer. No. No, no no He been there Day in the life This is him Day in the life I mean we can even kinda
Starting point is 00:50:10 I don't wanna put him In that top 15 realm But he close If he any close No, I'm just saying Even when we went to go see Ja Like niggas really forgot What Ja was doing
Starting point is 00:50:20 In the early 2000s Until he got up on that stage And he was like See And that's what made me love Versus I forgot that that right there i forgot and we were there right we were there and it was like i forgot i forgot that when vita ran out on that stage and them niggas went nuts you're like i forgot that yeah he got that effects came out but that's crazy think about that oh i had a cd store tape store that was right down the block from my school.
Starting point is 00:50:46 And the same way now, every Friday, I just browse through shit that I have no idea what it is. That's what I did in the record store. Yeah, every Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Back then. Every Tuesday. Every Tuesday. Well, I did it every day just because I didn't know nothing about when things dropped. I just went in there to peek around and things.
Starting point is 00:51:01 My high school, I was going on Tuesday, every single Tuesday. What the hell is this? Buy one CD, go with the homies. They get some other shit. You know, you get the tape because you can record tapes back there. You record the tape.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Or you don't have enough. You got enough for one CD and one tape. You don't have enough for two CDs. No, it wasn't no CDs when I was a kid. We was tapes. And you put the little stuff in the top. When Dance FX came out, I, as a young boy, went and bought batteries for my boom box and took it outside. What was that shit called?
Starting point is 00:51:31 Straight Up Suicide? That was the name of the album. I don't remember. I don't remember either. Because remember they used to be coming from the sewer? I don't think it was Suicide. Sewer. Straight Up Suicide.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Like they played on Suicide. Yeah, there we go. That was the name of it. Straight Up Suicide. But I took my boom box and went outside and just walked. I just walked with the album playing. I was blown away. You were scared to walk with your radio, nigga.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You were scared to walk with your radio. New Jersey City niggas got a new radio that day. You was in Queens. You were scared to walk with your radio, nigga. No, they knew about me. That's a nine-year-old. I can run fast. I can run fast.
Starting point is 00:52:14 You have to catch us, me and my radio. This was just classic. But I'm just saying how I felt. It was so nostalgic. Bum, skippity, bum, skippity, bum, bum. Until they started talking about the verses. But that's what made me want to appreciate them even more because it's like hey those of us that didn't get to 20 songs true some of them is still left yeah some of them some of them really i was so mad nice and smooth didn't get get more
Starting point is 00:52:38 songs i was heated when the wick went off i was no! No, they supposed to go crazy right now if hip-hop junkies come on in here. But it came to KRS time. I get it. Some of these niggas was real integral in hip-hop. Even if you don't have 20 songs, you played a major part in hip-hop in your era. In your era. Yeah, I want to keep seeing dudes come out. Bring Special Ed out.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Bring Kwame out. Bring them Ed out. Bring Kwame out. Bring them all out. Bring Brand Newbie and out. EPMD got to get a versus too at some point. Come on, man. These people are still here. We're still here. Bring the Death Squad out.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Come on, man. I mean, I'm with it. Come on, man. Rest in peace, Guru, one more time. Rest in peace, Guru, one more time. Wow, what a clinic. What a clinic. I was honored more time. Rest in peace, Guru, one more time. Wow, what a clinic. What a clinic. I was honored to watch.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I keep saying, I know y'all think Versus be paying me. They don't. It's one of my favorite ideas of all time. No, no, no. If you're a music fan, how could you not? If you're a music fan, this is crazy. Time. My only knock is I'm tired of New York Versus.
Starting point is 00:53:42 That's it. That's it. There's so much else out there. I would love to see. That's true. Come on. Go to Houston. No.
Starting point is 00:53:50 They're not going to do that. Well, I think they're going to do that. But what I'm saying is the current people that I think you talking about, I don't think they're. I'm not even talking about. No. I'm saying you can go. I see Bun B doing this. Against who, though?
Starting point is 00:54:04 You know what I'm saying? They can put it together. who though you know what I'm saying there's they can put it together no that's what I'm saying like so Juicy J Juicy J has to come Juicy J's been trying to get
Starting point is 00:54:11 3-6 versus Bone Thugs since it started he's been trying to get that I believe you what I you it's still about the business and the marketing
Starting point is 00:54:20 I get it you gotta find a video like where would you no at this point now yes where would you do it you didn't
Starting point is 00:54:27 shut up no you didn't watch this I'm talking about versus period shut up yo I don't have to watch this
Starting point is 00:54:34 we're also not gonna sit here and act like a a 3-6 slash Juicy J and Bone Thug shit wouldn't sell out a fucking good thing
Starting point is 00:54:41 where though that's the thing where would you wherever they have hits I'm not disagree? Wherever. They have hits. Yes. I'm not disagreeing with you but it goes into business
Starting point is 00:54:48 at that point. Yeah, I'm with it. Sorry. With New York, yo, you got Big Daddy Kane and motherfucking K-Restaurant. You have to go sell
Starting point is 00:54:54 that idea to people who don't necessarily understand what you're saying but you can't get the money to do so without them. Yeah. I understand what y'all
Starting point is 00:55:03 saying but I think you're sleeping on the value of those two groups. We're not. I'm not. I'm not talking about culturally their value. I think if they can sell out, fucking sure they have hit records.
Starting point is 00:55:14 They have a lot. Bone Thugs has hit, hit, hits. It's strategic, though, wherever it would be. I'm not a fan. I'm a Bone Thugs guy. I'm saying where would you have it? Give me the Bone Thugs hits. It's a bunch. Crossroads Thugs. For I'm saying. Me too, so give me the Bone Thugs hits. It's a bunch.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Crossroads, Thug Love. For the love of money. First of the month. Yeah, first of the month. Notorious Thugs. Notorious Thugs. Thug Love. They got the pop joint.
Starting point is 00:55:37 That's where we slowing down. No, no, I'm running off the top of the head. Me too, but that's why I asked. I didn't ask because I don't know the answer, but that's why I asked. If I told you to give me 20 cane off the top of the head, you would have never do it? You heard what I said before we went into this, so I don't want to say that again. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:52 After five or six, you slow down a bit. You will. To the business people, they wouldn't know the five or six. If I'm saying they don't know nothing about nothing, you're going to have a hard time convincing them of that. I know this because I saw what happened when they threw the idea out of Nori and Beans. I'm saying they don't know nothing about nothing. You're going to have a hard time convincing them of that. I know this because I saw what happened when they threw the idea out of Nori and Beans. And I know what that would be like, trying to go pitch it to those same people. That's why we haven't gotten it.
Starting point is 00:56:18 There's a few of them that they've been floating around that we haven't gotten, that we as purists would love. That's true. That tells me the trouble that they may or may not be going through over there to get certain things done. That's why they're holding Busta Rhymes in the talk. They're holding some of the people that they could get this done with. Because you could get Busta Rhymes done in any city. You're getting Busta Rhymes done in the heartbeat. In any city.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Anywhere, anytime. It's not hard to explain. Let's just find the right opponent and hold it in the talk. Busta's at every one of these events. That's not for no reason. You could have Busta Rhymes anywhere. You see. That's not for no reason. Mm-hmm. You can have Busta Rhyme. You see what he said? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:56:47 When he pulled him up on a Saturday. He did his verse Saturday, and then before he stopped his verse, he said, yo, find me a worthy versus opponent and drop the mic. Hey, Busta. He said that for a reason. Hey, Busta came out a year ago and said, T.I., you can leave 50 alone. What's up? Busta.
Starting point is 00:57:01 He said that. T.I. said no. Yeah, I bet he said no. I think they have a list. Busta's going to that. T.I. said no. He said no. I think they have a list. Busta's going to be a long day for somebody. My point is that yes and no. No, Busta's going to be a long day for somebody. I'm hearing rumors about Busta and
Starting point is 00:57:15 Missy may be a possibility. I've heard rumors. And Busta is not giving Missy Elliott a long day. I don't know if that's going to happen. That should not happen. But he ain't even heard. I really hope everybody stops saying it. Because of her R&B bag a long day. I don't know if that's going to happen. That should not happen. I hope everybody stops saying that. Because of her R&B bag a long day. Anybody else? Rappers?
Starting point is 00:57:30 Any of you rappers? Long day coming for you. Versus is not videos. So y'all can stop saying that. Yes, Busta and Missy make the greatest videos in hip hop. I get it. Stylistically. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Artistically, stylistically. It's not true. Because cut the videos off. Missy Elliott has songs. That's what I'm saying. That's not what he's saying. I'm saying this is a terrible matchup, Busta versus Missy, because versus is not videos. If it was a video battle, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:57:58 You can do that. That's what I'm saying. They're saying because it's songs, they shouldn Because it's songs They shouldn't match up They don't match up Because Missy just pulls From too much Busta's a rapper Sonically
Starting point is 00:58:08 Missy's written too much She's a fucking R&B act as well It's producer They're not even See but I don't think Missy is fair for really nobody Might as well just give us
Starting point is 00:58:17 Missy and Lil' Kim Just give us two girls That's what I was saying That's the only person I can say she can do Yeah that's the only one For me to make sense Cause Lil' Kim has the catalog
Starting point is 00:58:23 To be able to stand there Yeah she does Yeah To stand there Just to stand there. Yeah, she does. Yeah. To stand there. Just to stand there. This is a long night for... Stand there and withstand... That's the only person I can see Missy says it's a long night for Kim?
Starting point is 00:58:32 No, I'm saying Missy is going to... It's a long night for anybody that goes against Missy. Absolutely. I agree with that. But the best chance... Not Kim, anybody. Would be Kim. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Kim can... And people that make sense. Kim can withstand that and shoot back. Yes. That's why she's the only one That makes sense She could Until them other records come on Yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:58:49 Until the other records come on Yeah there And it's a Quite a few of the other records Kim is my That's the queen That's the queen I ain't
Starting point is 00:58:58 No this gonna become a celebration It ain't versus I ain't mad about Lil' Kim I'm staying on the side of Kim In what? Huh? Even when the other records come on? Whatever the fuck she wants to play
Starting point is 00:59:07 Oh yeah You different Okay Okay I was outside I ain't mad at you I was outside Nigga we was outside
Starting point is 00:59:13 Yeah I was outside We was all outside We was outside for Kim I was grown I was grown grown I don't know I had the picture on the wall
Starting point is 00:59:21 I'm telling you I was grown enough Yeah I was shooting smoking and fucking I was shooting, smoking, and fucking. I was shooting, smoking, fucking, fighting, robbing. I was grown enough when Lil' Kim came out. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:59:33 I wasn't obedient by the time Lil' Kim came out. I wasn't so just tell me the instructions. Speaking of that, let me read some shit that I read real quick. Where's my phone at? Just a second. And then we can move on. Did you watch the opening thing with the DJ battle? That was dope too.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Scratchin'. Yeah. No, no. It was unknown DJs or up-and-coming DJs that did a competition. I just thought it was dope. It was an all-encompassing hip-hop show. Is that the battle that they were talking?
Starting point is 01:00:07 Because remember, they were saying before they were trying to do some type of thing for someone to win and become the DJ, the official DJ for Versus. Oh, maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I didn't see what the prize was. Oh, my God. Now we're promoting the Triller concerts, please. No, no, no. I'm not promoting anything. I'm talking about asking if that's what airs, man.
Starting point is 01:00:24 A little promo game tools. No, no. Who can be the best DJ? We're not doing that. I'm not promoting anything. I'm talking about asking if that's what airs, man. game tools. No, no. I ain't watching none of it. Who can be the best DJ? We're not doing that. I'm not promoting anything, Joe. I ain't watching none of this.

Starting point is 01:00:37 Hughley. Shout out to him, friend of the show. He says, curse words coming, potential sponsors. Nine to five is bullshit. Unpaid lunch breaks are bullshit.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Working all day to go home and have two hours of free time before bed is bullshit. Five day work week is bullshit. Working yourself to death is bullshit. Retiring at 65, while unlikely, is bullshit. Starting adult life in debt from student loans is bullshit. Giving kids seven hours of school and then homework to ready them for the never-ending grind is bullshit. It is so frustrating that we have one chance at life on this earth and humanity chose taxes and credit scores and pollution instead of floating in the ocean and eating fruit and hanging out. That last part was inspired by the Zod, for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Yeah. That was the Zod talking. Yeah, yeah. How that was the Zod. He dead ass right. No, he's right. He's right. What I'm just saying, you come up with that part while you off the Zyde
Starting point is 01:01:45 laying somewhere floating. Fruit in the ocean with the honeys and the Zyde. We just get all the Earth stuff. No, you had to pull some yamins in there. You don't doubt our ability. That nigga ain't say nothing about no coochie. This nigga just pull it right in the water with him. With the fruit.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Fam. Fruit, coochie, and water? You think men got egos now. If you take capitalism off the planet, how you think all the men? It would be 300. It would be our purge. Yeah. All of us would think we could get them over to our spot in the water.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I'm going to hate to tell you. I'm going to have them with me. What? I'm going to have them with me. They had a dinghies around my shit. Come on, fam. Yo. Woo.

Starting point is 01:05:11 ran right up had a gun on him pointed at him young dude got out the car you couldn't hear what was said but you could tell
Starting point is 01:05:19 by his demeanor that it was like some apologetic yo my bad now they said he talked to him for 45 minutes. They cut it. But when the clip ended
Starting point is 01:05:28 it cut right at dude putting his arm around the dude and walking off. And that's what led me to wonder like what happened next. But then we heard. Then we heard. Actually I'll play what we heard. Y'all can talk about it. Go ahead. So basically it was a kid though. Like what really fucked me up was
Starting point is 01:05:43 the boy was little. Like, in size. I don't know how old he was, but he looked mad small. He looked young. And my man was driving a Black Benz. He jumped out. You know how you leave your car running, like, haphazardly. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:56 The little boy just, like, jumped in it. My man ran back over there with a gun. That ends badly. Yeah. If the older dude didn't have the heart of mind to school him so he takes him out the car he puts arm around him go walk with him so of course you know it was a little bit of verbal big brothery pow pow type shit that he he gave him but that could end really really badly you know i'm saying like real real badly right everybody

Starting point is 01:08:33 Yeah. Because again, he just said, yo, I could have shot the car. I was 30 yards away. I could have tore the car up. Right. He said, yo, when I got up on the car, the boy's little, my nigga. He's real, real small. So he's like, yo, I could have, you know what you know I mean I definitely wouldn't call the cops on the boy never
Starting point is 01:08:48 in a million years what I've called the cops on the boy I might have plucked him upside the head a couple times and shook him up to scare him right but the talking to was way more valuable than any of that no doubt and you see he's in the video he says how scared the kid was the kid is just like you'll just call the cops on me just shoot me just don't just don't shoot me you know I'm saying me. Just don't shoot me. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't even think of, but that goes to show a lot of these kids not thinking about consequence. Like, he's not thinking this dude could
Starting point is 01:09:12 have a gun on him. He's not thinking this dude is watching his car. He's not thinking anything that this could go left. It's just, oh shit, there's a car running. I'm about to come up. And to show you how, yo, you in Atlanta. They giving it up out there. And that's what he says they giving it up in atlanta so i don't see what a little kid could have not realized like yo
Starting point is 01:09:30 this could happen he jumped in the car so haphazardly that it was like nothing he ain't peeled off yet you're supposed to have to you know what i'm saying but again shout to that gentleman i don't know his name and maybe i'm just an extreme thinker, but to the point that Ice was just making, I read some shit where they're coming out with removable tattoos. Huh? Temporary tattoos, real tattoos now, that operate as henna, like a long-term henna.
Starting point is 01:10:00 So you can get a tattoo. And it'll fade away eventually? And it will just go away on its own wow look at technology and just advancement and what you could do on the flip side of that you get really really sad because we're grooming a generation without consequence and that's what shit like that does. That's what it does. Yes and no. You know who did my first tattoo?
Starting point is 01:10:27 Shout out to B Wise. Jailhouse, Jersey City nigga. Know why I got it? Just because my baby moms at the time was into niggas with tattoos. And I didn't want to leave me with a nigga with some tattoos. I went and got some bullshit on my arm. And it stayed. And her and I broke up.
Starting point is 01:10:42 And boy, the character building that that did. The lessons that that taught me. Hey, the frame of mind you had to be in when you learned you needed a cover up. How you were going to cover it up. The thought process that went into putting something permanently on you. I wanted a neck tattoo early in the game. My mom threatened to whip my ass every day. Because boy, how you getting a job with a tattoo on your neck.
Starting point is 01:11:04 So I never got one. Until I just didn't't give a fuck and I'm solidified in rap. And however it goes, I'm going to get one because I ain't going to work a corporate job. Back to that statement that I read earlier. But, yeah, wow, that's great. And round of applause. Awesome. Boy, the flip side of that is horrible. I got to give you some pushback.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I love it. That's why you're here. That's why they give you Potter of the Month. No, they gave you Potter of the Month. They said ever since you got home from Rikers. No, I read it. They said you got home from Rikers and been showing your ass. They said you must have learned how to show your ass.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Man said I'm never going back. I'm going to stay on top of this shit. Yo, you stupid. I get it. Hey, Parks, my sound effects is kind of low. I ain't going to hold you. They said that, too. I ain't going to hold you, my G.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Yo, nah. You're right. It's definitely bailing niggas out. But I think oftentimes when you're a kid, you're doing dumb shit. And you don't really understand the ramifications that, you know what I'm saying? You're going to face based on the dumb shit you do don't really understand the ramifications that you know what i'm saying you gonna face based on the dumb shit you do later on in life so you a kid you 18 you 19 you rebellious because your mother ain't let you get a tattoo your whole life now you're 18 she can't tell you
Starting point is 01:12:14 nothing you go get some big shit on your neck right you don't know what in corporate america that's gonna ever ever ever uh what are going to be the consequences behind that decision in corporate America. Right. So you go to college. You get on a straight and narrow. We've seen a ton of times. Nigga Malcolm X, Martin Luther King,
Starting point is 01:12:33 they all went to jail. Right? So you're 18, you're 19, you're doing dumb shit. And now you get on a straight and narrow path. That tattoo could have long-term consequences once you're on a straight and narrow path. You get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yeah, what you're saying is part of the character building I'm talking about. Yeah, I know, but I... That's part of my problem. I agree with you. You need that. I enforce that. You need that. I like that.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Because now that teaches you shit. Like Joe said, shit I do today can affect me forever. We just read the story of Broke Over the Weekend. Let me get this out real quick. We just read the story of Broke Over the Weekend. Let me get this out real quick. We just read the story of Broke Over the Weekend of one of the gentlemen involved in Pop Smoke's murder, may he rest in peace, is telling his lawyer, Yo, dog, lessen my charge because I didn't participate in the killing. I drove the car. Not only did I drive the car, but the plan wasn't to murder anybody.
Starting point is 01:13:27 I told them dudes to use a flower vase and attack him. And I was so angry at what they did that when they came back to the car, I assaulted the alleged murderer. I hit him. We had a fight because that's how angry I was at what he did.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Cool. But nigga, you drove. I hit him we had a fight cause that's how angry I was at what he did cool but nigga you drove you don't get to escape the consequences of the result cause you drove now legally maybe he'd be able to beat that cool I'm just talking about grooming a generation
Starting point is 01:14:02 that don't really think about all of the consequences. We can't say that, though, yo. Again, you can't say that when it comes to kids. You just can't. They get grace. We all were kids at some point. We all did dumb shit at some point.
Starting point is 01:14:15 I know personally I've done shit that could, nigga, I got shot point blank range two times. I could not be here on this microphone right now. So you can't say that I was 20 years old. You can't say that kids are not allotted grace. Because they are. You're learning. We've all done different shit. All of our paths have been different.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Some done more shit than others. But again, kids should get grace. Now, in the case of the boy, I'm not agreeing with that. Because you know when you set out to go rob somebody, it's an armed robbery. You drove the car nigga you part of the crime right you are definitely
Starting point is 01:14:47 a lot of times you are definitely a lot of times a lot of times they don't know that though you're on a compass but I'm just saying a lot of times
Starting point is 01:14:55 they think all I did was drive the car this was not supposed to happen you drove somebody to a robbery I'm saying that the planning part
Starting point is 01:15:04 he's saying they're not thinking about I just want to jump in here to a robbery. I'm saying that the planning part, he's saying he shouldn't get the murder charge. I just want to jump in here and let Ish remind Ish, we do not have an argument or a debate here because everything you're saying
Starting point is 01:15:14 is right and I agree with. Kids do and should have grace. I'm saying that when they don't is when a real lesson is learned. Yeah. That's it. I think sometimes.
Starting point is 01:15:25 But again. But I'm with everything that you're saying. With the issue of the tattoos. Let's stay on the tattoo piece. Okay. Let's say it takes 10 years to wear away. Right? I don't know how long.
Starting point is 01:15:36 You know how long? Short. Five, 10. We'd have to find an article. Yeah, but five or 10. Let's say five years, 10 years. So now you learned from that dumb shit you put on your neck when you was 19 right that it hasn't worn away to you 24 25
Starting point is 01:15:52 years old you haven't really been able to join the real workforce until you 25 years old when the stupid ass tattoo wears off i think it's a lesson in that but i think it's if i disagree with you hold on joe i disagree with you only because it's a softer lesson if it is a lesson because it's still telling me i don't have to deal with the consequences of this forever no i had to deal with every shit that that will happen talk to that you are going to have to deal with the consequences forever i agree with that let me let me jump in and add to what ice is saying. And I don't disagree with none of you saying. But if you take away even exposure to consequence, then you heighten sensitivity.
Starting point is 01:16:34 And sensitivity is already at an all-time high. We just had this talk with tattoos. We were talking about tattoos, right? And he was like, hey, but why tattoo hurt if you get it right here? And I was like, well, because it ain't exposed enough. It's in the tuck. It's hidden. That's the same.
Starting point is 01:16:46 It's the same thing here. You write about everything you're saying. But the grander picture to that is if that continues for the next, they don't even, Neil DeGrasse said it don't even take a long time. It take 30 years. We'll be alive for it. 30 years. Then what does the next whatever look like?
Starting point is 01:17:03 I understand. And I don't like that. I got your point. I just think that at a certain age, we've all been kids. We've all done dumb shit. Like, yo, you could have been a kid and been in a car. Y'all ain't get caught. But that decision, being in that car, could have cost you the rest of your life.
Starting point is 01:17:21 You could go on to be a great influential person in the community, and you needed to here you didn't need to be a prophet you didn't you didn't need to be in that car hold up so you didn't need to be in that car right that's not who you are in your core you went on to do do grand things for your community for your people for your family for all of that shit but you were 17 18 years old in a car that you shouldn't have been in. And if those consequences stick, you don't go on to be the great person and individual that you are. So I think that sometimes grace is a great thing.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I agree. I'm with you. No argument from me. Yeah. No round of applause. Back to the car thing you were saying. No, no, no. No, he does get a round of applause for that.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Oh, okay. Back to more applause. I do agree. But to the car thing you were saying. No, no, no. No, he does get a round of applause for that. Oh, okay. Back to more applause. I do agree. But with the car instance, what happens is if there's somebody being in that car, something happens and they get away, no consequence, maybe a close call. But because nothing happened, they'll keep some. A lot of times, they keep doing it. Some.
Starting point is 01:18:23 They keep. A lot. No, a lot. Some. Again. it they keep you a lot no a lot some again you just feel like oh they're gonna happen to me oh yeah i heard it happened but until it had until they see consequence some a lot ish not some a lot i think it's a relative i think that if you're a good kid or if you're a scary motherfucker you could be a scary dude right you could be a real scary dude let's say you we could take it off a real harsh crime you could be a scary dude. Right? You could be a real scary dude. Let's say you we could take it off a real harsh crime.
Starting point is 01:18:48 You could be cheating on your girl. Okay. And you almost get caught. Uh huh. You like whew. That was close. I ain't fucking around
Starting point is 01:18:54 over there no more. It happens. Some people learn from that's the lesson for some. Okay. Not for everybody though. I'm not saying everybody. Some motherfuckers
Starting point is 01:19:03 gonna keep getting cheated. But I'm saying a lot of people whether they get caught or not but a lot of people will see that as damn I almost got caught let me do it better next time so this don't happen
Starting point is 01:19:10 you're right they don't learn from it until they get caught you still don't learn just hear me out just hear me out can y'all close this
Starting point is 01:19:18 somehow just find a way one of you alright come on fuck it no nah but what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:19:24 in that instance is sometimes it takes something drastic to happen to make you realize oh shit in this case with back to the tattoo let's bring it back you being fucked and realizing damn this this altered my life trajectory maybe you won't get no more tattoos maybe you'll do it'll just teach you differently there is a consequence once you start removing consequences permanent consequences yeah niggas get to moving
Starting point is 01:19:48 a little bit more freely thinking nothing's gonna happen to them that's all I'm saying you ain't trying to read about stupid ass kids that's all I'm saying you ain't trying to look at stupid ass kids
Starting point is 01:19:56 bro I'm a tap out cause we staying on the practice for so long I'm gonna disagree and I'ma just hold fast in that you don't get to make a mistake
Starting point is 01:20:06 when you're a kid and sometimes suffer the long you saying basically you made a mistake when you was 18 years old you should have to deal with that and you should have to deal with that for the rest of your life
Starting point is 01:20:16 even though you've grown and matured as a person and I disagree with that wholeheartedly disagree with that cause I don't know what life you lived but I made a shit ton of mistakes when I was a kid and I'm no longer that man or that person that I made them and I shouldn't have what life you lived but I made a shit ton of mistakes when I was a kid and I'm no longer
Starting point is 01:20:25 that man or that person that I made them and I shouldn't have to suffer them for life. Bars. I've ran the streets as a kid and some of that shit
Starting point is 01:20:34 that we was doing I didn't reply to nothing I said. That's why I didn't say nothing. I'm not disagreeing with that. You did. You did disagree. Not with that.
Starting point is 01:20:41 That ain't what we saying. That's not what I'm saying. That's why I just left it alone. You did though. But alright, cool. Alright. Moving along.. That's not what I'm saying. That's why I just left it alone. You did though. But all right. Cool. All right. Moving along.
Starting point is 01:20:47 What else y'all got? You know what you got to go see? We got to go see, I saw it over the weekend, but we can all go again. Uh-huh. Fuck. That Broadway show, right?

This ain't going to say you bitch ass nigga you going to Broadway, please. Oh, you bitch ass nigga. Yo, you know how I know Broadway is back open? Because a couple girlies I know hit my phone

Starting point is 01:21:35 I'm glad that women know that about me. Hit me when you're done and you want to get away from the girls. Yeah. I didn't know you was there, though. I might have went if I'd seen my man. Oh, shit. Look at this loser. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:21:49 It's just there with my moms in them. My moms went to the Tina Turner play. You see why we don't have no culture? You see how the young black men being raised by you fucking. They don't even view me as young. They put me right in the senior citizen box. I know, which means you're supposed to be giving a young life insurance guy what sounded like on the phone when I spoke to him. He ain't sound like me as young. They put me right in the senior citizen box. I know, which means you're supposed to be giving a young person culture. Let me tell you what my life insurance guy was sounding like on the phone when I spoke to him.
Starting point is 01:22:08 He ain't sound like I had long. Oh, you were cold? You know how the insurance people sound when you give them your address and you're in the hood? They be like, oh, oh, you're there. You're there. And they was like, how old are you? No, 41.
Starting point is 01:22:23 All right, you smoke? How long you been smoking? How long you been smoking? Yeah. What else, 41. All right, you smoke? How long you been smoking? How long you been smoking? Yeah. What else you smoke? All right, you doing exercising? Oh, man. We caking off you.
Starting point is 01:22:31 You told the truth. You are out of here. You're supposed to lie. Put him in the top tier. Yeah, you're never supposed to tell the truth. If you lied to them, who did you lie to? Them. Shit.
Starting point is 01:22:40 All right. Them. Them, nigga. When your coverage stays the same You just getting a lower rate You lied to them I want to know when the country thinks we're dying So I ask
Starting point is 01:22:53 So I give them the real information On Final Destination, the DVD Let me show some age On the DVD The bonus section of it They give you life insurance advice? That's why the sound effects still low, Bumass Engineer. They tell you when the sign gonna chop your head off.
Starting point is 01:23:14 Shut the fuck up. They had a little game on there where if you enter your birth date, they'll tell you when your transition date will be. And look who really entered it. I put my real birthday. Because if you lie to them Cause if you lie to them. If you lie to them you lie to you. The game
Starting point is 01:23:32 won't tell you when it's over. This guy is nuts man. Yo bro. You my guy. You need a hug or something yo. Who the fuck wants to know that, Joe? Who wants to even play that game?
Starting point is 01:23:47 And who's trusting the Final Destination DVD? And you're trusting the Final Destination DVD to know your date. The bonus section at that. If y'all talk for two seconds. This guy. I'm going to find him. Too late, too late, too late.
Starting point is 01:24:00 It's over. Just that fast, I found somebody that wants to know that. Because you asked. Now, if you were asking a rhetorical question. It was rhetorical. So you don't want me to answer it. I don't want you to answer it.
Starting point is 01:24:13 But I found somebody. I believe you. There's a bunch of nutcases running around. Okay, so the answer to that question didn't help your point, debate team captain. It didn't. Of course it was rhetorical, semantic literal man alex murdaw he sounds like a crazy white guy just like you joe is a crazy white guy come to think of it you are a crazy white guy judgment from a young
Starting point is 01:24:39 black successful man judgment toward another black another black man could we go into Broadway man empowerment is a myth too we'll get in the blower way after I tell you about Alex Murdoch
Starting point is 01:24:51 since you asked the question fuckhead man Alex Murdoch didn't think I would have the answer it sounded like
Starting point is 01:24:57 he was swindling someone out of some money and after I tell you who Alex Murdoch is I want I'm gonna ask you
Starting point is 01:25:03 a follow-up question and then you can tell me about Broadway. Go ahead. This is South Carolina stuff here. Shout out to Sumter, South Carolina.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Alex Murdoch, the South Carolina lawyer whose wife and son were shot and killed in June asked a former client to kill him this month so his other son could collect a $10 million insurance payment. But he survived being shot in the head. Long story less long,
Starting point is 01:25:36 the gentleman that he asked to do it went to jail. Shit. So now my question to y'all before we get into Broadway and we don't have to make this long and drawn out is how do y'all feel about that? I got a question for you first. How did you know right where to go to
Starting point is 01:25:52 on your cell phone? This nigga's crazy, dog. Round of applause for our research, our research and development team. It's you. Right over there in the back. Right immediately there. Because I've been meant to ask y'all about that.
Starting point is 01:26:09 I think that. Even that story is from about probably a month and a half ago. But I've been meant to ask y'all about that. I do feel like the guy shouldn't go to jail. If I ask you to kill me. That's what I want to know from y'all. Just that. It's some notebook-ish love affair type of cool shit, I guess.
Starting point is 01:26:22 My man went to Broadway and is referencing The Notebook in the same episode. I don't fit in a box. Why do you think he shouldn't go to jail? Because I'm thinking all this time in America, the people that go to jail for first degree murder,
Starting point is 01:26:37 that's the state doing right by the victim. And things like this story remind you that it's the state doing right by them yeah that's why i'm like why do you know i was lost if i ask you to to get me out of here and we have we can prove that like i have recording i have a letter okay i'm the person that did it is the beneficiary of my shitty ass power attorney like if i'm set up here right
Starting point is 01:27:03 why is that guy going to jail? Not to be morbid, but does that make sense? Yes. That makes sense. It's a thousand percent sense to me. No, no, no. One thing for certain.
Starting point is 01:27:12 To me? Yes, it do. No, no, listen. The only thing I'm... The rapper's... It's insurance for him. That fucking guy. It's just insurance for him.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Because now, the nigga that... You purposely killed yourself. You don't get an insurance policy for suicide. I got a better one. They should have came up with a better plan. No, he shot him in the head.
Starting point is 01:27:29 I'm going to tell you an even crazier one. Stupid motherfucker won't live after getting shot in the head. No, no, check this out. That's bad planning for sure. That is terrible. Let's just put an end point here. Yo, who would have thunk? Yo, Ish, check this one out. And this is a true story.
Starting point is 01:27:46 A guy hooked a gun up to like a drone or some shit. Oh, I think we talked about this. Or you mentioned this. I did. Oh, yeah. But had it kill himself. Had it shoot him and pull and go and hide the gun somewhere so that it couldn't be proven that he killed him.
Starting point is 01:28:02 All for insurance. They found out. They traced it back, whatever, whatever. So he killed him. All for insurance. They found out. They traced it back, whatever, whatever. So the policy did not pay for it. But back to y'all's statement, I 100% think the dude should still go to jail. For what? It's a crime.
Starting point is 01:28:14 You still committed the fucking crime. Yo, you hear him. What are you talking about? You hear him? You see him? You hear him? I really hate him. You don't have to hate me.
Starting point is 01:28:22 I'm bugging. I hate you. I hate you. Murder is illegal. Yes or no? Oh, my God. Yo, you are really. Y'all are fucking nuts.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Yo, yo, yo. Y'all are nuts. Y'all are nuts. Just listen to your Dirkio and chill. This is a 65-year-old motherfucker from Wisconsin that just likes drill music. Y'all are nuts. He's from Kentucky. And he likes drill music.
Starting point is 01:28:44 Y'all are nuts. No bullshit. We're nuts. Yeah, y'all are nuts. He's from Kentucky. Y'all are nuts. He likes drill music. Y'all are fucking nuts. No bullshit. We're nuts. Yeah, y'all are nuts because you want someone to break the law. It's okay now because you want them to do it.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Ice, I don't believe in the principles that the laws were built on. That's the person you're talking to. That's a whole different debate. No, it's not. It's the same debate.
Starting point is 01:28:58 It's the same exact debate. You said you don't believe in the principles that the laws are based on? Yes. Guess what? They still exist. That's true. What the fuck are you talking about? We've all broken them. That don't counter my belief principles that the laws are based on? Yes. Guess what? They still exist. That's true.
Starting point is 01:29:05 You break them though. What the fuck are you talking about? We've all broken them. That don't counter my belief. We've all broken them. What are you talking about? Yes, we have all broken them. All right, so,
Starting point is 01:29:12 and this is what I'm going to say to you because I don't, you know I ain't no rat, but you've broken some laws. Yes. I broke some laws today. Then shut up. So, this,
Starting point is 01:29:20 I didn't get caught. But you stand in your stance so concretely that the laws that I know that you've broken could have sent you to jail for 20 years, but they ain't harmed nobody. Say, Von, let me get some sweet love juice while I do this. And if you got caught, you wouldn't be taking that same stance. Ish, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:29:33 Can I tell you something? This is Joe Halftime. Come on in here. Can I tell you something, sir? I hate ice. Y'all can hate ice, but it seems like I'm the only one fucking thinking here. Personally, yes, I do know the risk. He's insulting us.
Starting point is 01:29:44 He's insulting us. I hate when niggas do that. Why I gotta get yes, I do know the risk. He's insulting us. He's insulting us. I hate when niggas do that. Why I got to get insulted? I do know the risk that I took. That's the thing. I know the risk. I know. If it bailed out on the other side, I knew the risk when I made the decision-ish.
Starting point is 01:29:56 I know. You so tough. It's not tough. That's tough. That's not tough. Okay. You win. Y'all don't even remember how this came up.
Starting point is 01:30:03 You. You. You. You saying the dude shouldn't go to jail he shouldn't go to jail Ice is bugging alright Ice is crazy
Starting point is 01:30:10 I'll be crazy by myself then y'all are crazy y'all are nuts if that guy has to go to jail then free will don't exist yes yeah no free will does exist
Starting point is 01:30:19 nobody forced him to do that he chose to you asked me to wait wait wait that's true he's right on that part what are you talking about yeah if I'm talking about that guy I'm not talking about that guy forced him to do that. He chose to... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's true. He's right on that part. What are you talking about? Yeah, I'm talking about that guy.
Starting point is 01:30:28 I'm not talking about that guy. I'm talking about the guy that wanted to end it. He could have ended it on his own. Oh. Yeah. He did it... Without using the help of someone else. He planned the thing for insurance.
Starting point is 01:30:37 No, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now we're where we need to be. Why did he not Do it On his own If free will is a thing Because he wouldn't get the insurance So free will is not a thing
Starting point is 01:30:50 No he could've He still could've Ended it on his own No free will don't You're ending it To get paid Liberty Mutual That's not nothing to do
Starting point is 01:30:58 With your decision That's different I'm shutting up If you wanna just end it Go end it See Jump off the building I'm the guy That would've want to just end it, go end it. See? Jump off a building. I'm the guy that would have preferred us being in the ocean naked with the girlies eating
Starting point is 01:31:09 fruits. Y'all telling me. But the stuff that y'all saying, it don't sound like that. In this situation. That's not free will. Free will is. In this situation, this dude did not want to end it. He wanted to get his son paid.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Free will is. Difference. If he wanted to end it, he don't care what happens you end it that's not true that's not even true that's not true that's not true we've seen mad incidents of people that were tired of being here and wanted the best for their loved ones
Starting point is 01:31:35 i.e. Aaron Hernandez like we don't have to get into this people have tried to juke the loopholes in the system which adds something to your thinking process as you're saying hey do i want to be here versus what happens when i'm not here which all i'm saying is that's not really free will if i can't do what's truly in my heart without having to think about modern day construct and some shit that some nigga made up somewhere then that's what it is and
Starting point is 01:32:00 this conversation we don't have to argue about is leading me right into why i'm having a hard time watching a show called Dope Sick. Are y'all familiar with it? I saw it. I didn't watch it yet, though. Dope Sick. I saw the preview of it. I thought it was a movie.
Starting point is 01:32:10 It wasn't. It's about the Oxycontin- Epidemic. Fucking- Michael Keaton, right? Yes. Michael Keaton. It's about the Oxycontin fucking-
Starting point is 01:32:21 Crisis. Epidemic. Epidemic. The crisis that happened right so I'm watching this shit back to free will don't think that I'm leaving
Starting point is 01:32:31 our free will talk I'm still here we just podding now I watched this show and the show y'all have to see it they're on episode four now
Starting point is 01:32:40 by the time this episode drops I'ma watch so they get so they get into but it's but it's not depressing it's our lives by the time this episode drops. I'ma watch. I'll be one of those. So they get into, but it's not depressing. It's our lives. We've been alive for this.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Just like you know, Cool G Rap dropped after them. Know why you know it? We was alive. We alive for this. So we at that age now where we watching shit that we was there for and could witness it
Starting point is 01:32:59 and maybe we didn't know and we learning some shit. So Dope Sick. Purdue Pharma. Some shit was happening to where their drug, they would no longer be allowed to make, so they came up with a new drug. They came up with a new drug with this time disposal,
Starting point is 01:33:16 dispensal shit, and they had some shit where the FDA came out with a new sign that said, hey, this opioid you won't get addicted to. They were working in concert with the hospitals who were working in concert with the sales reps, and they were basically a drug cartel, and this is how America got hooked on opioids. Right?
Starting point is 01:33:36 They got sued, too. They had to pay out a shitload of money, but it wasn't nothing good. It wasn't nothing. Right? And they didn't get to that part because we're only on episode four. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:33:48 But back to our free will conversation uh and not to get too deep but when i think of the free will conversation for me it goes into somewhere in there i get into well shit does my dad ever do crack without the crack wave i don't know i don't know i doubt it but now my version is this opioid shit because i went to the hospital because i had something wrong my thumb i didn't know what it was and they gave me oxycontin and even when they was giving it to me boy they was talking about it like it was that shit and i liked it like it was that shit it's like no you just had one two hours ago. Can't get another one so soon. Only six hours in.
Starting point is 01:34:27 I was there when they pulled out that little pain chart and was like, what level of pain are you in from one to ten? I was frequent in the hospitals then. And what happened was I got hooked on them shits. And when I left there, I had to find them shits. And when I couldn't find them shits no more i was balled up in my bed sweating couldn't function in society couldn't sit on a plane it was fucked up that's what the show is showing me and boy am i getting angry watching it i'm getting mad because then i'm forced to think well shit if i don't go to the hospital and and my mom told me to say that she
Starting point is 01:35:04 told me to tell the nurse hey don't give me oxycod and my mom told me to say that, she told me to tell the nurse, hey, don't give me Oxycontin. My mom said to say that. I believe that. Of course I believe it, because we know who my mom is. We know how she feel about drugs. So, of course, she said that. But you saying that to a kid who's being fed drugs by society and by the system, by our trusted, by the hospital,
Starting point is 01:35:20 and I like it, and I like it, and I like it. Fuck what you talking about. I'm enjoying this. Hey, the pain left, but who it, and I like it, and I like it. Fuck what you talking about. I'm enjoying this. Hey, the pain left, but woo, what a little feeling. So around episode three, they got into how this shit don't last 12 hours, like they say, how you can get addicted to it, how overdose is happening, niggas is dying, and they just kept pushing it, and they knew it, and they were looking to do this in Germany,
Starting point is 01:35:43 and now we trying to trick the system over there, and just was angry and it just goes in our free will conversation y'all should watch it if you haven't seen it so watch it so yo it was time released and so they beat some law because it was time released or something yes yes that was their trick hey vicodins fuck fuck up your liver and you normally get addicted to opioids but because of our time release system you won't less than one percent of people get become addicted to this so it's oxycodone you can't get addicted so if the fda well it's not allegedly if the fda comes out with a new label that no one's ever seen before that says hey one percent of people you're less likely to get addicted to this blah blah blah and then you go to the hospitals and they got 100 200 300 hospitals
Starting point is 01:36:28 we know our insurance work hey i'm fucked up hey send me a list of doctors i can go to bro no they know how that works doctors so when that whole system is oxy oxy oxy oxy what level of pain and you went here here here here like man it's on the hook so how do you know what's the crazy part, though? Let me ask you a question, Joe. The CEO don't go to jail. Well, that was the other big thing here. That's the crazy shit.
Starting point is 01:36:50 Like, if we ran a drug cartel, if we ran some drug shit, and this is where, again, we not going back here, but when niggas start talking that FDA shit, kiss my ass. Like, I don't want to hear that shit. Well, that was the big thing in here. That's another nigga getting paid a check to approve some shit. Get the fuck out my face the person that allegedly uh worked for the fda in the show anyway and passed this wording off scapegoat guy left the fda to work for purdue of course he did i remember of course it's a true story but even with that right, right? And as they explain in this, that's the way of corporate America.
Starting point is 01:37:27 I'm going to leave and work for the competitor to get paid six and seven X what I got paid over there. It's my same beef in music that the label heads are now working at the streamers. So, I mean, what you going to do? They just move them right on. Yep. Go ahead. You work for the government making $190. Fucking Pfizer is going to give you $1.7 billion.
Starting point is 01:37:48 I mean, $1 million a year. Like, it's crazy. You get what I'm saying? 100%. But nobody in these companies really faces any repercussions. No. None. No.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Like, the company, I think Purdue got fined like $500 million. It was something ridiculous. It was something crazy, but it ain't crazy when you made $20 billion. That's a drop in the bucket. That's enough. You want to check? Right. That's all you need?
Starting point is 01:38:11 Yeah. You get what I'm saying? So that's crazy. I don't know. I just want to know how you... What about this makes you say free will doesn't exist? Because Joe's saying... You didn't get it in what I said.
Starting point is 01:38:21 No, Joe's saying like... I can't repeat it. He's saying basically the path that you went, in his instance, they gave him some pills. Because his thumb was fucked up, right? And now he get hooked on the pills. Was that really your decision or was it not your decision? The Sackler family, Ice, I'll add to that.
Starting point is 01:38:42 The Sackler family in this show, and this is not an ad. Hulu, y'all should pay us, but I get why you don't. Y'all them niggas. The Sackler family, I think in this case it was Robert Sackler family in this show and this is not an ad Hulu y'all should pay us but I get why you don't y'all them niggas the Sackler family I think in this case it was Robert Sackler was trying to explain to his family after he had invested 40 million not him but the family's earnings he got 40 million into this oxycodone
Starting point is 01:38:58 thing that the family don't really understand they on his ass right and he's just all the way explaining all the things that they don't get so in that he said all we have to do is come up with a reason why the body needs this we have this amazing drug we have the drug we just don't have a reason that the body needs to take this so when they thought of it we have to bring the fiends to the drug instead of the drug to the fiends. Right.
Starting point is 01:39:27 So when we thought of it, they just kept piling on top of that. Like they thought of why your body needed the dose. Then they was like, well, start them at 20 milligrams. Start them at 30 milligrams. Depending on what your pain is, let's individualize the dose so we can get more. That means you might need a certain amount, but you might need a certain amount. And then they got into, yo yo we could beat the pain before the pain comes why do we have to start them on 20 30 and 40 if there's no pain we could give them 10 and they still need it so this was a listen michael keaton now that he's in this arc of his career does not miss when he does a
Starting point is 01:40:02 miniseries let me tell y'all this is not an ad but if michael keaton he does a miniseries. Let me tell y'all. This is not an ad. But if Michael Keaton is in the miniseries and it's dark and it's about bullshit, it's a smash. So check it out. It's really well done. It's really, really, really, it's a Hulu exclusive. All it should do is make me mad. Hulu exclusive. But it makes me think about the vaccine.
Starting point is 01:40:19 It makes me think about crack and what it did to my family. It just makes me think about so much shit and where it comes from, why it comes from there, and what we have to face. Like, man, the ability to just say no. Self-discipline. I got to get more. I got to get more. If you could just put it in my face and just leave the option to me and we just remove all the barriers of safety and precaution and just humanity.
Starting point is 01:40:43 And I got to rely on my brain and curiosity and me being inquisitive. And man, I'm going to be fucked up out here. But moving right along. You were saying about Broadway. I'm sorry. But no, that's why we need the constructs. For people that don't have the discipline to stop.
Starting point is 01:40:59 But when the constructs. I agree with you. We do need them. But when they're not constructs. And when they're not fair. And they're not applicable to everybody across the board. That's when I got an issue. And that's when I got with you. We do need them. But when they're not constructs. And when they're not fair and they're not applicable to everybody across the board. Yeah, man. That's when I got an issue and that's when I got a problem.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Broadway's thoughts of a colored man explores diversity, power, power of black men. You went to this. I went Saturday. Got it. It was dope because it tackled black manhood from all areas. We talk about a bunch. We typically talk about the more serious shit on Patreon,

Starting point is 01:47:11 bro that's not boy they must think no no no shout now no shout to how i'm no dis to how like you know i went to hbcu but but it's not well it's not considered the 70 grand yeah which schools tell me like the the Ivy League one of my Cornell yeah Cornell's 75 Cornell's a state school

Starting point is 01:47:43 getting into them private schools, them shit's up. Where the hell is he seeing that? Underneath. Well, the boxes. 62 grand a year for Columbia University. Harvard is probably more.
Starting point is 01:47:55 NYU. Princeton is more. That's why people throw NYU out like that. NYU is very expensive. 53 grand a year. Bro, this shit ain't no game. And then on top of it, living in New York City, having to have a little bit of money
Starting point is 01:48:06 to go do some things. Yeah. 52 ain't the whole story. My nigga, a drink. Shit, that's just the beginning. Right. Honestly. A drink.
Starting point is 01:48:14 53 grand per kid for a year. And now the average degree is not a four year anymore. It's a five. So you damn near spending 250 on an education and that's where motherfuckers start talking
Starting point is 01:48:26 about they be getting their ass kicked by their student loans when they get out of school. Because you just spent a quarter of a million dollars on an education. If I do that, you better guarantee me a job when I'm done. Like a good one. Like the real one. No, but then you start majoring in some bullshit and you come home and you be the manager at fucking Radio Shack. Yep. bullshit and you coming home and you be the manager at fucking Radio Shack. Yeah, you gotta pardon
Starting point is 01:48:46 me for not being the biggest fan of college. I got a family member. None of it makes sense to me. I went to a state school. I paid $1,500 a semester to go there and got a good education. That was a long time ago. State schools are still,
Starting point is 01:49:01 if you live within state. They're relatively cheaper, but you can go to Montclair State in New Jersey you can go to William Patterson in New Jersey you still spending some bread
Starting point is 01:49:10 no doubt especially if you want to live I didn't live on campus well my thing is nobody asked to see Park's little diploma no that's true but he got a degree
Starting point is 01:49:18 but he has a profession that what are you showing yeah but he didn't I get what you're saying Kareem never asked you about none of that shit. All these fucking million dollar eight figure jobs
Starting point is 01:49:30 that I be offered, nobody has ever asked me about my schooling. None of them. They don't understand that. No, you're right. My thing is they don't even talk like that'd be an option growing up
Starting point is 01:49:45 they don't talk like that even I know why though I know why I would love to know why cause it was pushed to us you don't talk about
Starting point is 01:49:56 Parks' and Joe's careers being options they're so few and far between so you know how many people wanna be a rapper you know how many people wanna be a ball I'm You know how many people want to be a ball player? I'm not even talking about... Okay, no, I don't want to let you finish.
Starting point is 01:50:08 I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying they make it seem like there is no other way except getting on this path. They do. That's true. I graduated... Me, me. They selling college.
Starting point is 01:50:21 I graduated high school. I didn't even have the summer off. I graduated June 18th and started school July 1st. ELF? No. college they selling i graduated high school i didn't even have the summer off i graduated june 18th and started school july 1st eof no but um because they do the eof program that summer but i there was no other there was no plan b my hold on hold on real quick i got i got a family member who we had these talks and he's like bro listen i don, I don't, I'm scared. I don't want to go to college. I said, well, why not? Because I don't know exactly what I want to go for.
Starting point is 01:50:51 And I said, he said, the biggest thing that keeps happening. I got friends that's going to college. All they're coming out with is student loans. And then they in the job that's not in that field. Cause you got to take a job, but it's not in where you got your degree. But as soon as you come out, you got to start paying that back. got to take a job. But it's not in where you got your degree. But as soon as you come out, you got to start paying that back because you come out with debt up the ass.
Starting point is 01:51:09 So his fear ain't even really college. It's just what happens when I get out. I'm doing this for what? And I don't even know. I pick a major right now. I don't know what the future holds. Yeah, I pick a major right now. It might not be what I do.
Starting point is 01:51:25 It's an unfair decision, and it got a whole bunch of moving parts. As a 17, 18-year-old kid, you don't even see the world. Yeah. You don't know shit. You don't know shit about shit.
Starting point is 01:51:34 You basically like, oh, I want to major in psychology. Uh-huh. I want to major in physical therapy. Like, you literally picking out of a hat. So when I was going to school, I was real good in math, so they made me be an engineering major. Uh physical therapy. Like, you literally picking out of a hat. Exactly. So when I was going to school, I was real good in math, so they made me be an engineering major.
Starting point is 01:51:49 Like, everybody. Yo, you got to be an engineering major. I'm like, all right, cool, engineering, fuck it. And I was kind of cocky, so everybody can't be an engineering major. Fuck it, right? So that's what I, but I didn't want to do that. So the end of my junior year, which nobody does, I changed my major to finance.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Nobody does that. But again, you're a kid. You don't know. And then a lot of us, all of us, I'm sure, your parents never been to school. And this is where one of the parts. So your parents just be happy you getting a college degree. They don't necessarily know if you majoring in physical education that you ain't going to make no money. They don't know that. They just happy. They bragging, my my baby in college he got a degree go go go i did a job for um a
Starting point is 01:52:31 wealthy white family and their son went to uh florida international and he wanted to major in psychology they wouldn't pay they wouldn't pay for him to go to school right they made him major in computer science or something science tech based or they wouldn't pay because they knew because they were both college educated and they had reached a certain level that we're not doing that because your chances of making money are slim to none you're gonna come out and make 45 grand and not be able to pay back the student loans we're not wasting our money on that well they were paying for them but we're not wasting our money on that you gotta major in were paying for them, but we're not wasting our money on that. You got to major in something STEM related.
Starting point is 01:53:08 And so those are the conversations that parents got to have with their kids. But a lot of our parents necessarily weren't college educated, so they didn't know. That's where this generation right here, that's where the you and the Trey. And then Trey's kid. You get what I'm saying? Like all of that shit comes into play. I agree. But now this shit is a racket bro
Starting point is 01:53:25 they'll let you change majors five times yeah they want you to change majors five times I go to my grandmother she has it's four of us you know Ray my cousin like it's four she has four grandsons all she ever said was damn I wish one of my boys would graduate college like we all went ours went I went everybody went no one graduated so all she she don't care what it was for don't waste the money and that arse went to college and battle rap see what i mean about college but you know what happened more money than and make more money than most of them and you know what happened he fell into battle rap what a trip with them from the niggas from college went to 106 and park and got pulled on because the challenger didn't show
Starting point is 01:54:04 that day look at god and they needed somebody to rap they're like yo he rap but anyway um what was i saying um oh yeah so she all she wanted was one of her grandkids to graduate that's how we was pushed yo soon as you get out as soon as you graduate high school you have to go to college fuck what you're going for but you know where it comes from that's what they were told yes the past the dream that freedom and success was right to success kids and also back in black kids especially also in our parents age i think college might have been a different it might have meant something different it was less expensive you were more likely to get a career coming out of it there
Starting point is 01:54:38 you go and so but again as black people or so you're talking to think yeah yeah we were so we were taught like yo the way that we can break the barriers placed upon us is education right education is college because that industrial shit of taking care of your family with a blue collar job that got wiped out in the late 70s so now it's college you got to push college you got to push college because that's the only way you can feed your family I disagree with that No I'm saying that ideology

I said, bro, listen, if you don't know what you want to go to college for, don't go. Don't go. Wait. But life is still happening, so don't wait. No, I'm saying wait to go back.
Starting point is 01:55:45 You can go back. You could go back. Pick up a trade. Yeah. That's my advice always. Pick up a trade. Or if you want to, if you're dead set on doing community college, that's what I do
Starting point is 01:55:53 because I know what I want to do. You could go to school, get an associate. Yeah. But at least you got you a start. When you go to get you a certificate from a trade school, that you can use

Girl, you're looking sweet, don't lie You're quite a baby I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I feel alive with the power You throw my mind I'm so excited I'm so excited So excited Girl, you rock me up
Starting point is 02:08:22 I'm so excited Girl, you rock me up Yeah, I mean, you in a crib with your significant other Go ahead and gaze at it in the eyes Let her know you love her You wouldn't rather be Noel Hey Makes me wanna jump All righty Then We will get to Ben Simmons
Starting point is 02:08:43 Ben Simmons I Ben Simmons. Oh, he's taking it away again. Slow down, because I'm taking a break. But Ben Simmons. Do we got to? Yeah, do we? We do. I mean, I thought it was important.
Starting point is 02:08:59 It is. If you guys don't. Y'all don't think that's important? It's for the culture. That's all right. All right, we'll get there in a second. And that's been a second. All right.
Starting point is 02:09:17 The process. Ben Simmons, Doc Rivers, Joel Embiid. Philadelphia 76ers. Don't toss this over to our 76ers expert, Ice Stallone. Ice. Yes, Joe. What? What? Ice.
Starting point is 02:09:43 Yes, Joe. What? What? Ben Simmons went to 76ers practice after long negotiations and lack of communication. He practiced. He had his cell phone in his pocket. Blogs tore him up. The whole team, including the coach and the organization, saw that on their phones.
Starting point is 02:10:02 They went back to practice the next day. Ben Simmons was disengaged. Doc Rivers threw him out of practice. And here we are. Joel Embiid is on social media saying he doesn't give a fuck about Ben Simmons. And he has to focus on the people that are in the locker room. That's right. I'm asking you as a 76er fan how you feel about the current situation. What you think they should do,
Starting point is 02:10:26 and who you think has the advantage and the leverage here as I turn down Michael Jackson. Oh, man. I agree, first off, with Joel Embiid a thousand percent. Like, we showing up to work. We want to win. I can't focus on this. This dude's a distraction at this point. That's all it is. You don't want to win i can't focus on this dude's a distraction at this point that's all it is you don't want to be here you're here because you don't want to lose no money or whatever the case
Starting point is 02:10:52 may be we are here to work the lack of professionalism just like you could tell and b don't even want to talk about this shit right now like the season's about to start and this is what i got to deal with so yeah suspect throw him out of practice suspend him for the home the first game but i want him to stay in philly i want him to face the philly crowd and i'm not mad at them requesting the world for him because when he want to play he is still a great player so I don't want to let him go for cheap and I think the advantage right now is going to the Sixers because all Ben Simmons is doing is hurting his value even more Now you're showing that you're unwilling to play with a team
Starting point is 02:11:44 All the things that the other teams are gonna look at like what happens if you're not happy here? I got to deal with that. So in the end, I think he's going to hurt himself. But yeah, I do want to see Ben Simmons face the Philly crowd. I want him at that home opener against Brooklyn on Friday. I damn near was going to try to go to the game just to get my shit off in person. What you was going to do? Boo the fuck out of him like everybody else. What you thought I was going to do? I want to get these shit off in person. What you was going to do? Boo the fuck out of him like everybody else. What you thought I was going to do?
Starting point is 02:12:05 I want to get these boos off. Who do you think, as we get into our worst take segment of the show, who do you think has the leverage and the advantage in this situation and why? I think the Sixers do. At first I thought Ben Simmons had it, but him showing up and showing up like this, I think is pushing, is giving them more leverage.
Starting point is 02:12:29 Because you're going to be the one that gets suspended. You're going to be the one to miss out all this money. You're crashing. If you want to be outside of Philadelphia, you want to be traded, make yourself where you can be traded. I'm not even saying super valuable. Just all you're doing is, if I'm another team looking at you right now, I'm not bringing you here. Because what if you don't want to be here?
Starting point is 02:12:49 I got to deal with this headache? Well, not only that, we're not bringing you here because the 76ers are asking for an entire universe. I'm going past that part. I'm going past that, though. If I'm a GM and I got a package that the Sixers are willing to accept,
Starting point is 02:13:05 looking at the way you're acting now when you don't want to be there after they just maxed you. I don't want to take that risk. You're too risky. I don't want to be that guy. It's still a business. Somewhere in this talk, it leads to our earlier conversation about grooming a generation without consequences. Consequences. I was going to say that.
Starting point is 02:13:26 It does definitely go back there. Right. Yep. It goes back there because he got a guaranteed contract. Mm-hmm. And for the listeners- He just got maxed out.
Starting point is 02:13:34 There we go. I just want to point that out. He just got maxed out. This is the first, second year of a contract extension of Supermax. He was the first pick. So the Supermax is about a buck 80.
Starting point is 02:13:44 It's something stupid 220 whatever it is yeah roughly 200 million it's a lot of money it's a lot of money he's getting almost 40 million a year so a lot of money in that ballpark um i think he still has the leverage i think he's 25 years old and he's a potential superstar where you think he has the leverage and against the sixers right now currently because Because he still, they got to pay him. They're not going to suspend him for the season if he comes to work. He got suspended for one game. They got to pay him.
Starting point is 02:14:12 I still think that another team would definitely. But they want to pay him. They want to pay him. I know. So why you feel like that? They want to pay him. They're happy to pay him. If he don't want to play, right? If he don't want to play, he got to get paid.
Starting point is 02:14:22 He could come in and fake the ankle injury or any of that dumb shit and i think another team would still definitely take the risk on him they've had mad offers philly don't want to trade them correct they want to get a fucking the house they feel like they have leverage he's in the first second year of a contract extension he's 25 he's not in the last year of it you want to get get paid for the next four years, you have to come to work. And if you come to work disengaged like you did at the practice, we'll suspend you without the pay. Yeah. But we have the – you don't know what.
Starting point is 02:14:52 They can't do it. Long term, they can't suspend them long term without pay. That's the beauty of the U.S. for them. You miss enough of them checks per game. I think they can. I just don't think they want to. They want him to play. They're trying to win a chip.
Starting point is 02:15:03 At the end of the day – They want him to be engaged. When he plays, he's the best. Yeah, he's one of the best. He's good. So,
Starting point is 02:15:11 if you're not going to play and you're not going to be engaged and you're going to be a distraction to the team, then we don't have to pay you and I think that hurts you more than it hurts us. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:15:22 I still think that he ain't missing no checks. You get what I'm saying? Like, what you getting from him? Then why is he at practice? I was just getting ready to think that he ain't missing no checks. You get what I'm saying? What you getting from him? Then why is he at practice? I was just getting ready to say that he is missing checks. I think he's at practice to save face for the public ridicule. You would practice, dude.
Starting point is 02:15:36 Wait, wait, wait. Time out. Time out. Let me throw some shit in the mix. What Ben Simmons' sneaker look like? I don't know because I don't think he has one. He don't have one. He don't have to have a personal sneaker to be getting money from him. What does Ben Simmons' State Farm commercial look like? He don't know because I don't think he has one. He don't have one. He don't have to have a personal sneaker to be getting money
Starting point is 02:15:45 from him. What does Ben Simmons State Farm commercial look like? He don't. What are any of his advertisements or off the court,
Starting point is 02:15:53 what does his off the court money look like outside of your super rich girlfriend, your super wealthy girlfriend? I'm going to answer you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 02:16:00 Ben Simmons is a star. He's not a superstar. He's a star. So I'm sure he's getting, his salary and endorsements are nice. He might not have a He's a star So I'm sure He's getting His salary and endorsements Are nice He might not have a shoe
Starting point is 02:16:08 Just because you don't have Your own See that don't answer me I'm about to answer I'm gonna answer you Hey but while While he's talking Alex try to find
Starting point is 02:16:14 The answer to that He pulled it up Oh got it Yo because you don't have Your own signature shoe I don't mean you're not Getting a nice contract From Nike or one of them
Starting point is 02:16:21 Alex I'm looking for His endorsement money He made 35 million dollars Last year I'm'm looking for his endorsement money. He made $35 million last year. I'm only looking for the separation between his on-court money and off-court money. So he just added up. Because when Kyrie says, yo, I'm not taking the vaccine and y'all can trade me, I won't play. I know for a fact there's endorsement money to carry him through. If I only have $ 20 million to live with.
Starting point is 02:16:45 20 million to do with Nike his rookie season. That's enough to live off. Rookie deal. So he's getting more now. He signed 20 million that's a rookie deal. He has bonus incentives
Starting point is 02:16:55 that could boost that Nike contract to 40 million. We don't know but that's We know that if you're not playing then you're not hitting incentives. Correct.
Starting point is 02:17:03 But we know for one year last year plus his Nike deal he has enough money to live off. For us in this context of our argument
Starting point is 02:17:12 that's enough to live off. 50 million? The end. Yeah. Now when I have to bring in his mind state do I think he feels that way and do you think he feels that way?
Starting point is 02:17:19 No, I don't think he feels that way. And that's the unfortunate part. Because if he felt that way he could take the Kyrie stance and say you know what 10 million a year I get it done that's enough for me. Because if he felt that way, he could take the Kyrie stance and say, you know what, $10 million a year, I get it done, that's enough for me. But I don't think he does, which is why he's at that Sixer practice. And because I don't think he does,
Starting point is 02:17:33 that's why the Sixers have the leverage in this conversation. And Doc is Doc, as I said in the card. Doc won a ring. Doc has enough cachet, enough reverence for you to lose this. And I think they need that. I think coaches, they need that, especially when you're dealing with stars with egos. With Fortnite egos.
Starting point is 02:17:55 You need to have a respected coach, i.e. Pop, i.e. Doc Rivers. It ain't that many. It's about five coaches in the NBA that you need to be able to powwow with the stars and their egos. And Doc is one of them. Yeah. So I kicked him out of practice. And, nigga, you're not going to get me fired. Right.
Starting point is 02:18:16 You're not going to get me fired. You know what I'm saying? And you have the support of Joel Embiid, who is the bona fide superstar and the man on the team. Right. Saying, agreeing with the coach. So, I don't know. I think it's unfortunate. I just think the leverage is all with the Sixers at this point.
Starting point is 02:18:34 And I think it's all Ben Simmons doing it to himself. He basically gave the leverage back to the Sixers. Because I think he held the leverage at one point. But now it's... Because what you said is, in terms of leverage, what do they both want? The Sixers want... They don't want to trade him.
Starting point is 02:18:52 They want him to show up and play. That's what they want. He wants to get traded out of Philadelphia. So in terms of the leverage conversation, who's closer to getting what they want? It would be the Sixers. They have the upper hand in this. You want to get traded out, but you're not doing anything to help yourself get traded out.
Starting point is 02:19:11 You don't have to. You're doing it to hurt yourself. You don't have to. You don't have to do anything to help, but don't do nothing to hurt. You don't have to because, again, in basketball more than football, you get picked up off of potential. His potential is limitless. He has limitless potential. So, in my opinion, he has the leverage.
Starting point is 02:19:32 I'm going to get a jump shot first. His limits. Go ahead. Potential, though. Potentially, he's limitless. He's a 6'11 point guard. Right? That can pass, handle the ball.
Starting point is 02:19:42 He's a hell of a defender. He has the leverage. And you still owe me mad bread. So I could come to practice if I want. I mean, I could come to play
Starting point is 02:19:49 if I want. Get the ankle injury that really ain't an ankle injury. Now y'all gotta pay me. Get my $35 million. Now y'all gotta pay me. And I think
Starting point is 02:19:59 they would rather do that than just trade you away. Which means he has the leverage. For what he wants? He's still not getting what he want, though. Nobody's getting what they want in that case. Cool.
Starting point is 02:20:12 Let's see how them plays. I don't feel like he has leverage, but we'll see. I don't think he has leverage. I think he fucked himself up. Nine year one and two of the extension, but we'll see. I don't know. And I don't think the 76ers feel like he has the leverage because they suspended him his second day at practice
Starting point is 02:20:29 in front of the team. So he only got suspended for one day. One game. The opening game. Do that when the season is on. Actually, tonight is the start of NBA season. The Knicks have the Celtics tonight. I should be at that game, hopefully.
Starting point is 02:20:45 But outside of that, do that now and watch what the suspension is. Well, no, his suspension is for the first season game. Yeah, I understand that. What I'm saying is, when we suspend you in the preseason, we know what the end-season suspension looks like. No, it's one game first.
Starting point is 02:21:01 Right. Come on, come play. Come play with us. It's one game now. Be diseng on, come play. Come play with us. It's one game now. Be disengaged two weeks from now. Watch it be 10 games when money is on the line now. Preseason don't mean nothing. But 10 games next time, your little young ass will miss it.
Starting point is 02:21:18 And your super wealthy girlfriend is going to look at you a different way when you go from fucking $500,000 a week to $50,000. We'll see. And until then. It's unfortunate, though, because these niggas is kids. Teach them consequences of their actions, baby. I'm cutting this off because I ain't even playing with Mike like that. I ain't playing with Mike.
Starting point is 02:21:43 Yeah, you can't play. Mike did this. You know what? Buy the Joe Budden podcast. I don't even playing with Mike like that. I ain't playing with Mike. Yeah, you can't play. Micah did this. You know what? Buy the Joe Budden podcast. I don't like that they played my songs. What else do we got? Kanye's haircut. Do we need a deep dive on that?
Starting point is 02:21:53 No. Do we? He changed his name. We don't need a deep dive on it. He changed his name to Ye. And then the stupid haircut came out. And my fucking weird creative ass 100% saw yay on the back of his head, surrounded by design. I thought that was cool.
Starting point is 02:22:07 I thought it was different. I thought it was weird. You see a yay? No, there's a yay right there. Pull it back up. Pull it back up, the big pic. I went through this yesterday on Clubhouse. On the cliff of his head, you see a Y, right? On the left-hand side, you see that Y? Nigga, I must be.
Starting point is 02:22:23 Do y'all not see the Y on the cliff? This cliff right here. Y'all don't see that Y going that way? Yeah. Now, faded is the top of the E. The top of the E. And the rest of that is indeed an E. It's just artsy, and that says yay
Starting point is 02:22:38 right in the back cliff of his head. I don't see it. The rest of that appears to be a design screen man point the Y out surrounding the yay
Starting point is 02:22:49 that's the Y that's the Y and the E that top right there is the Y to the right of it is the E faded there in bold is the second
Starting point is 02:22:57 and the bottom line oh see I thought it was the Y and then the long part of the Y made the like the Y and the E are joined together it is yeah
Starting point is 02:23:04 that's what I'm saying okay so once I saw that I was like oh man this guy's genius again Part of the why made the, like the why and the enjoy together. It is. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So once I saw that, I was like, oh man, this guy's genius again. He does it again. Yeah, it could be stupid. But along with the name change, along with all of his Walt Disney and Steve Jobs comparisons, this is in loop, right in line with all of that.
Starting point is 02:23:20 So shout out to Kanye for getting what he wanted. So you know what I think? Now that we brought This dumb ass haircut up I think Kanye Just be trolling niggas Like yo I bet you I could just do this
Starting point is 02:23:31 And they're gonna find Ye in here somewhere That shit don't say ye at all And he rich enough To have had a better barber That could've Put a pronounced Y and E out
Starting point is 02:23:40 That's why it's art His son did it Fuck out of here But it does say ye And he did Change his name to ye And we've known it We know say yay. And he did change his name to yay. And we know that he always wanted to change his name to yay. And he did that all at the same time.
Starting point is 02:23:50 And he said yay is the word most seen in the Bible is yay. That is true. So it could be. Well, it's true that he said that. So yeah, it could be trolling. But trolling is the word that you throw out there when you just don't understand the science behind why somebody's doing
Starting point is 02:24:09 what they're doing. Shout out to Kanye. Good luck to him. Still one of the albums of the year for me. Same, same. I sat down this weekend and tried to put my
Starting point is 02:24:19 albums of the year list together so far. Couldn't, right? I ran out. I was reaching.
