They did?
And they did.
It was cursing them out in characters, bro.
I was like, what the fuck is this? But I own it.
Listen, I have all the respect in the world for the bts fans because
outside of y'all that took the opportunity to start calling me a nigger man holy shit the rest
of y'all were so polite in your grievance with me and for that round of applause man for that round
of applause all it takes is a music take to bring the fucking nigger out.
Somebody did that for real?
Yes, there's hateful people in the world.
And I understand the way it came out.
Listen, I apologize.
I'll be the first to admit to my ignorance.
I didn't know the K in front of K-pop was for Korea.
How would I know that?
I get how you would. They don't ever say Korean pop. They just call it K-pop. They call it K-pop. How do I know what I get how you would they don't ever say Korean pop
they just call it K-pop
they call it K-pop
how do I know what the K stands for
I didn't know that either
I think that
I didn't even try to be funny
I didn't know that
but I do want to apologize
to the people that only saw that clip
for my ignorance
because
that's what they're gonna do
you understand it
there
y'all was teaching me words.
You called me a xenophobe.
I had no idea what that was.
I had to look it up.
Sorry.
You knew what that was?
Hello?
You?
Yeah, of course I do.
Of course.
Of course you did.
It's your point to tell us.
Worldly-ish.
Let's know he read every time I read.
Is he in the Guinness?
Oh, man.
And somebody said, when we going to teach Ish how to whistle?
They said your whistle is trash?
I would never say that about him because I can't whistle for nothing.
That was one of the things I failed at trying to do when i was just young a sarcastic whistle i'm not out here
trying to be fucking but you could if you wanted to let them know you can get a good whistle off
if you want it oh my god that sounds horrible dislike or prejudice uh against people from other
countries oh my god i don't think that what you said was that yeah at all you know they just find
the worst fucking...
They never...
What happened to just my bad?
Yo, I made a mistake.
I didn't know.
That don't exist no more.
They just always go right to the worst possible thing you could be.
Right.
A xenophobe?
My bad don't exist no more, though.
Like, I didn't know my fault.
I wasn't trying...
Intent don't matter.
Yeah.
Today.
Fam, most of that shit was in jest and then fun anyway.
Yeah.
That's a podcast built around.
That part too.
Well, that's what we got.
But we constantly.
All right.
Come on.
Y'all know we quick to say you can't.
Somebody can take it how they want.
That is true.
So, yeah, it was in jest, but somebody might not take it in jest.
That is true.
I agree. that's all
I come in peace
today to the army
to the BTS
legion of fans
you gotta give them some dynamite
or something there
that's what you gotta do
I gotta give them something right
yeah you gotta give them something
that's your
Zype peace offering
my sleeper today.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
I'll give him a verse or something.
Nah, because there was some of the fans that was like trying to show me some slaps.
Like, Jonah, they worked their way up from, and this is where they come from.
I know you just don't know, but check it out.
I'm telling you a champion.
I love those fans.
Yes.
The fans are like a fan. A real fan. I want to teach. I love those fans. Yes. The fans are like a fan.
A real fan.
I want to teach.
I love this person.
You might have missed it.
Here are some reasons why I think you might enjoy this person too. Right.
I love those kind of fans as opposed to the gatekeeping fans.
They're the worst.
I want my favorite artists to get popular and more recognition,
but I don't want anybody new.
Anytime someone new comes in,
I have to remind you that you wasn't there from day one.
That's nastiness.
Fuck, that's a contradiction.
It's fan privilege, though.
It's privilege in everything.
It's fan privilege.
Shit's stupid to me.
You like doing that, too.
You used to be that guy.
No, I would instruct you.
Yo, yeah, but go back and listen to this.
Nah, Ice has been good at that.
Yeah, you like this? Check it out. He was doing this, this, this, and, but go back and listen to this. No, Ice has been good at that. Yeah, you like this.
Check it out.
He was doing this, this, this, and this.
Go check this out, too.
I'm quick to tell you that.
I'm not a gatekeeper.
More fans, the better.
I want my favorites to be popular.
So, yeah, I want you to get more fans.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
Also, while we're on the subject of apologies,
I want to send a big apology to Dawn and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
A round of applause
for what you accomplished.
And while I was still
on my St. Peter's high,
I said,
shout out to the
South Carolina Peacocks.
I think we were all
on the same island.
Yeah.
I didn't even...
It's a Jersey thing.
We didn't mean anything
by that.
Apologies.
No disrespect
Our bad
Indeed
I know a lot of
Former cocks too man
They'd be upset with me
For missing that one
Yeah I know they've taken the
I'll allow a second
For us to be immature
Yeah
Pause
I'm not letting him get that
Thank you
You don't have to pause man
Bye
No I was pausing myself
Yeah you had to pause yourself
Oh please don't
Unpause What? Can you unpause? No, I was pausing myself. Yeah, he had to pause himself. Oh, please don't.
Unpause.
What?
Can you unpause? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why I can't unpause?
It's over.
It's over for your dogs.
I hate it, yo.
Gerard Carmichael stepped all over your shit.

He took my shit, made it a little saucier.
Yeah.
All right, man, whatever.
Shout out to Dawn and South Carolina Gamecocks.
Our bad.
Congrats.
Yes, congratulations.
Congratulations again.
Well deserved.
And that's that.
Where would you gentlemen like to begin today?
Anywhere you want.
The world is you guys'.
You want to start with music?
Or you want to start with some funnies?
Or you want to start with...
Saturday politics.
Some golf analysis, perhaps?
Saturday.
Saturday.
Oh, listen. not even analysis.
We walk in and the Masters is on, right?
And I've been paying attention to this
because they've been dying for Tiger Woods
to be present at the Masters.
Do we have to change that word too?
Like the bedroom?
What?
The Masters.
Like the bedrooms.
In Augusta, Georgia.
Ooh.
Uh-oh. Y'all cooking now? No, he was Ooh. Uh-oh.
Y'all cooking now?
No, he was trying to start with some fun.
That's funny.
Well, no, we don't have to do nothing about this.
They're going to change the name of the Masters
since now he's black.
But they don't let him be black.
That was Tiger with that stupid, you know, I don't know him be black. That was Tiger with that stupid,
you know,
I don't know how I feel.
That was him, right?
Yeah, that was him.
Yeah, but we say the same thing, Nike,
with that 10 billion in front of your face.
Shit.
What you want me to be?
Them niggas just sold me out
for a slaughterhouse project.
They know what the fuck would be going on.
And Nike pulled up to them.
Yo. You fucking, You shitting me?
The fuck are you talking
about?
Niggas always like to have morals on these podcasts.
Like, oh, that's ridiculous.
Nobody ever
says, yo, I would do that.
Yo, if they get you
$50 million, what happens?
Not $50. I'm not doing nothing for 50
I'm not going against my core
they gave you 500 million
no not 500
nah I think you money for 500
yeah
nah
because y'all don't know me
y'all don't know my goals
y'all don't know the value
I attach to them
no we all got goals
but okay
but mine
I'm not going against
my moral compass
for 500 M's
I think my talent
can get me that
I think my thinking
can get me that I agree with my thinking can get me that.
I agree with that.
Now, if you start talking about-
But it's a little shortcut though, though.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but that's where integrity comes from.
Fam, if you took a shortcut to your 500 M's,
then them three bill, four bill will be in your sights.
The alternate route is a long one.
I know.
But it ultimately gets you to the same place.
And the people that choose the shortcut, people like me, we judge them a little bit.
You might say, yo, I ain't black.
I'm a Jersey City Orient.
For following him.
What's your number, though?
We've a lot on me.
What's yours?
Parks, what's yours?
Ice, what's yours?
Four mics on this pod. Enough of that. To say I'm not black? To say I'm not poor. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tell me what the yours Parks what's yours Ice what's yours four mics on this pod
enough of that
to say I'm not black
to say I'm not poor
no no no no no
don't do that
that's what he did
I know that's what he did
but his number was
10 billion in front of Nike
and he said
I just don't know
which way I am
like that's what he did
I'm saying
whatever's in your heart
okay
whatever that is
cause that's
you know different morals
have different price points
I think you know what I'm saying
like which moral
some of the morals is cheap which moral are we selling out?
I sell some of these shits for cheap.
One of your top morals.
Shoot.
Look, I'm good.
See?
Niggas is...
Fam, that's...
You can put a number on it.
Give me a number.
You had mad numbers for mine.
Yo, I said it in fun, you bum-ass nigga.
Oh, but I was answering for real.
That was.
That's why I wouldn't take the 500 M's.
I'm answering for real.
500 M's.
To say I'm not black?
No.
There's no.
I'm not black.
No, we can't do it.
You got to say what you said for morals.
All right, you're not black.
500?
Five zero zero?
Zero zero zero.
Zero zero zero.
Nigga, black what?
What is black?
Black is a color you don't identify with.
I don't even identify.
I'm gray.
I don't identify as a color.
It's disgusting.
I'm green.
She'd be ashamed.
I'm green, actually.
She'd be ashamed.
It's okay.
Wow.
I'll be ashamed counting.
Forgive me.
Listen, somebody's going to be honest.
500 M's?
What if she didn't?
What if she didn't forgive you?
500 M's, you can't speak to your family no more for the rest of your life, parents included.
500 M's, they might not want to speak to me no more.
The shit I'm going to be doing, 500 M's up, I'm setting the whole ancestry back.
They're going to be like, yo, we got to get him
out of here.
This nigga is bad.
They're not going to want
me to be black.
They're going to try
to put me off
on somebody else.
Parks, how much
to hand in your whiteness
to never be white again?
Oh, no, that's expensive.
Never be white?
See, and that's the problem
with our country.
That's the problem.
Damn it.
Oh, man, yo.
I still want a number.
Come on.
Yo, y'all do that a lot.
I gave you my number.
I told you.
I know, I know.
You did.
I'm here.
These two over here, man.
Yeah, they too good.
Oh, but what was my point in bringing up Tiger Woods?
Oh, so Tiger Woods, we walk in, he's on the Masters, right?
Round of applause for Tiger.
Round of applause for Tiger being on the Masters.
Playing well.
Playing well.
He was only a couple strokes down.

Woods laced up in an all-black Foot Joy Packard model shoe rather than his usual Nike swoosh when taking the course.
Was it a mistake?
Is there controversy brewing?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
A mistake.
Not exactly.
Whoops.
Woods asked about his shoe choice ahead of the Masters and kept his answer brief.
He said, and I quote, I have very limited mobility now
with the rods and plates and screws that are in my leg.
I needed something different,
something that allowed me to be more stable,
and that's what I've gone to.
Woods added that he and Nike are working on a new design
and expect something to be completed soon.
As soon as they purchase Lovejoy.
Nike's been fantastic over the years
of providing me with equipment, and we have worked, we've been working on trying to find something to allow me
to do this and swing again we're still going to continue doing it and hopefully we'll have
something soon so the nigga version of that is tiger woods went to nike said yo dog whatever
the fuck y'all been putting on my feet i know we have a deal in place but i am unable to
perform in that and if y'all can't come up with something quick enough then guess what none of us
have a choice here i gotta wear the foot joys so i'm wearing foot joys now i have a working theory
that nike accepted that from tiger because what choice did you have
yeah i placed it by mistake what choice do you have if tiger woods is saying
i can't perform in your shit yeah well you got a few choices you can call the production company
that videotaping the masters and say hey don't you dare don't you fucking dare show those foot
joys on tiger woods feet until we come up with a proper replacement
or until we buy the company.
So now we only seeing
Tiger foot from the back
the front. They only show the side
when it's like about 40-50 feet
away. You see the little joint of the sweater loud and
clear though. Oh the swoosh.
And the hat.
But look fam. Whoever came up with that
Tiger Woods logo for that hat, Fam, it's timeless.
Yeah, that shit is amazing.
Anytime he pop up with that TW on a hat, you know what it is.
Yeah, you know what time it is.
Fam, they had a countdown on the screen for when he takes his first swing.
He walked out there and bent down to tie his shoes, and the camera jumped up fast as hell.
Like, no, no, no, we won't get that shot.
No, no.
Crazy. They ain't show Tiger Woods tying his shoe they showed him crashing into a
tree and they won't
show him tying his shoe
not those shoes I know the Masters
was in bad shape cause when I was
watching it was a split screen Tiger
on the top and some nigga named Amen
on the bottom they was praying to God
for viewership.
I have never heard of,
find out who Amen is.
Amen Corner.
I bet it is a place.
Amen Corner.
They was in the corner
with some amens,
all right.
Yeah,
they sure were. What is wrong with this guy? Nah, they was in the corner with some amens, all right. Yeah, they sure were.
What is wrong with this guy?
Nah, they was in the corner amening.
I've been there before with my buddies when we tried to scrape up some money for Nick.
For Nick LeBat.
How much money your mom's got in the couch?
98 cents.
Yeah, I know.
I got about 93 cents over here.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
All right.
Oh, man.
They was praying.
Yo, you stupid.
Hey, they was praying. Hey, the Grammys numbers came back, man. Oh, shit. All right. Man, they was praying. Yo, you stupid. Hey, they was praying.
Hey, the Grammys numbers came back, too.
Mighty Low.
Mighty Low.
Lil Duvall.
They could have paid somebody to smack somebody.
Mighty Low.
You know it's hip-hop.
In hip-hop, we could fabricate some shit better than Hollywood, probably, if we try hard enough.
Now they're saying they're banning Will Smith from the Oscars for 10 years.
10 years.
10 years.
They probably had 10 plus years.
What a way to say thank you.
Most coverage, most press.
Most coverage.
Did they really reap the benefits, though?
Yeah, probably.
I don't know how that shit worked.

Shout out to y'all
Can't wait to see y'all
JoeButtonPodcastTour.com
Ticketmaster
Wherever you get
The good stuff from That's where it will be Let me see y'all. JoeButtonPodcastTour.com, Ticketmaster, wherever you get the good stuff from.
That's where it will be.
Let me ask y'all, y'all.
If you Will Smith, after I've already resigned, and then y'all come out and say.
She's coming to the table.
She's going to be at the red table.
Oh, shit.
Would you say she has been instrumental in you and I redefining our relationship?
I would say don't just start filming me without asking no
that's dead ass if you could film us again please i'm still dealing with still taping don't no no
she yeah because she don't just would you say that she helped us heal the hurts that you know
answer my question my social media presence is my bread and butter.
You can't just use me
for social media and not
don't just start rolling.
I'm standing in my house.
Don't just start rolling.
Please watch a stare
at the red table because she's
helped us a lot. Can't you tell?
He's at my house.
Ten years is a lot.
For a little smackety smack.
Do you care if he will, Smith?
Huh?
Do you care?
Hell no.
No.
Okay.
That was my question.
I was getting to it.
Well, no, no.
Time out.
Time out.
Time out.
Depends.
You might not care being ice.
He cares because of what is attached to it.
I believe the rumors about certain film
houses not wanting to work with him anymore like I believe the rumors about Netflix slowing down
production Sony slowing down production of some of his films and I think that's a direct correlation
to the academy's uh view listen with some of these groups we know you get perks we know you
get relationships we know you get relationships we
know you get and that's what all of them so if you're not the academy is not fucking with you
then there are some production homes that probably are not fucking with you too and that's the
downside of that if we just talk about the oscars and academy events then of course will smith
that's a good point i'm home with my. But if this is going to affect my livelihood, as we just heard him say,
my social media presence is my bread and butter.
Like, I'm trying to protect it.
And we saw him slap somebody.
I didn't think about that.
That's a good point.
Remember when King Richard first came out?
My stance was, yo, he looks nothing like him.
He doesn't sound like him.
He's not the best at doing voices and accents.
But the draw is he's not the best at doing voices and accents but the draw is
he's will smith so if that's going to tamper with potentially those same movie houses coming to get
him because he is will smith and if we might not i don't know the ramifications behind him being
banned i don't know if his performances are still eligible for an award he just might not be able to
show up i don't think they are.
Even if they are, they're not going to be.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That'll make me stay away.
And the other problem with that is the roles that Will Smith is accustomed to playing,
which are triumphant, stories of glory, just stories of black excellence.
That's where we normally see Will Smith.
And today, having that guy smack the
shit out of somebody at the oscars now we have to look at your viable replacements off brand i say
all the time on here hey when you be arrogant when you walk in and put your dick on the table when
you just start getting on your shit that's cool there's nothing wrong with that but you have to know who your replacements are as well and i think
today i think they probably were rolling out i am legend to have will smith introduce michael
b jordan as the guy this is the guy that we're giving these roles to now so you got niggas out
here where there's viable options it's only really one in my opinion for certain roles because like will
smith does the handsome you talking about all right you're right you talking about
you talking about actors yeah and i'm talking about the business of actors
acting wise yeah it ain't but it ain't a long
list of people that can do what
Will Smith has done in these roles
but I also think he got some
of those roles because of his standing with the academy
and if you don't have
that and now Michael B. Jordan
does I don't know because I'm not in the acting world
but or Don Cheadle does or
the other black actor does
whoever they go and unearth,
then now we in a bad spot.
And hopefully this doesn't affect
his social media business.
I hope Will is all right.
10 years is a long time.
And playing that clip,
I don't know if you want to jump into it,
but in playing that clip,
I saw it.
And I sent it to everybody.
Yeah.
He looks broken in the clip.
He looks broken.
I've heard... Oh, I'm sorry. He wasn't in the best He looks broken like I've heard
I'm sorry
He wasn't in the best of spirits
He said what he said
His wife dismissed him like
Oh here we go with the bullshit
Foolishness
Whatever nigga
Like
That clip further cements for me
I don't want to see him on Red Table
I do not
I know I'm Will Smithed out
I know a lot of us are Will Smithed out
I do not
Everyone's had a take
We've seen it
We've heard it
It's been overdone.
I sympathize with him.
A couple things I heard about that particular clip is, one, it's old.
It was an old promo clip.
I thought it was like a deep take.
I don't like that take.
It would need to be old for buildup to happen.
No, but the other part of that take was it was like satire.
They were making fun of this to promote her, whatever guests they were having on the red table.
Truth in every joke.
Not just that.
He didn't get the joke.
No, listen.
If they was fake.
Listen, a joke ain't a joke if we never get serious.
No, he didn't look like he was joking
if we never get serious
listen
we've seen
the conclusion
of the movie
so
so now you start
looking at little pieces
yeah
even if it was a joke
then
might have been a joke
but it certainly
helped lead to something
nah
I agree with that
you're right
that's all
new music
let's get the music
let's do it
come on Fabio album dropped yo come on let's. Come on, Fabio album dropped, yo.
Come on, let's get to it.
Okay.
Fabio album dropped.
Did you listen to it?
I heard something.
Park, did you hear it?
I did.
I listened.
Ice, did you hear it?
I listened to the entire project.
This is the most polished sounding trap drill,
drilled Brooklyn drill shit I've ever heard in my life.
That's a compliment.
Shout out to Mike Dean who mixed it and all the producers.
I tried not to. I wanted to come in here last part, I told you, and say that I was nervous for this album.
Just off the track list.
And I try to never do that.
But when I saw 17 records and 14 of them had features, I got nervous.
I don't know what to expect.
That's a lot of outside of and not just you
on the project
so
I went in
not knowing what to expect
I
it was cool
it wasn't
I was highly anticipating this album
I think just seeing the track list
kind of threw me back a little bit
but in listening
it was cool
I'm
it's not something I'm going to be running back to a lot threw me back a little bit. But in listening, it was cool.
It's not something I'm going to be running back to a lot.
There's maybe three records that stuck out to me.
But for the most part, I was kind of good on this project.
Really?
I liked it.
I mean, this isn't my preferred genre as it is yours.
But I appreciate the attempt to make it something more um digestible i do well that's what that's what ish said he wanted from favio sure no and that and that's what puts
me right at this crossroad because i understood exactly where ish was coming from when he said
that but i was like yo the niggas that want to hear this, that's what we want to hear. And then he comes out and he answers Ish's concern.
And I have a problem with that.
You felt it was too far left?
Nothing sounded left to me.
It didn't sound like he was uncomfortable.
It didn't sound like he went too far away
from his comfortable normal pocket
everything had the same bop and feel for the most part that's everything just cleaner just
cleaner everything that he's on it's like it's tailored to him even a feature record i was
brought it up when we talked about the city girls record if you listen to any record that favio's on
the kanye records anything the beat before he raps and the beat while he's rapping are two different beats
like it's it's tailored for him to ride that beat so i don't think he's ever gonna feel
uncomfortable on anything because they actually tailor the beat for him for his verse for him
to grow i think that that will need to change i agree i think that
by his sophomore album that should stop where the beat is catered to his rhyme scheme i'm with you
100 because then some of the records on here that were supposed to sound and feel different
then you can actually explore them
sounding and feeling different.
But it's just tough to accomplish that when it's the same cadence.
The cadence on damn near all the songs is the same.
All the ones that I heard.
And they are extremely clean and polished.
All of the features did make sense to me.
I listened to the whole album.
Yeah, me too.
The features made sense to me, so I wasn't mad at those either.
But my favorite records are the ones where he's...
The solo records are my favorite.
Yeah, yeah.
Let me find the track list.
My favorite shit was Feel My Struggle.
It was my favorite one.
Love Feel My Struggle.
I like Change On Me a lot.
I like Worldwatch, and I like the intro a lot uh i like all the
records that were released prior to so that's the single magic city yeah i wasn't mad at through the
fire it's a good album i'm not even mad at hello also when i was listening to this a lot of samples
this album sounds expensive i've noticed too that that's kind of becoming a thing not even
necessarily samples like in the traditional sense if they took some old shit and flipped it a lot of
like pop hip-hop records from the early 2000s to 2010 are being reinterpreted a lot lately
from people that i've heard i said the same thing though i'm not sure what part it was maybe like a
week or two ago ice was saying that um basically what puff and them were doing in the late 90s yeah early 2000s
with all the dope hits that we knew of in the 80s that's what they're doing today
so now it's just 20 years later they're going to get all the old hits and basically recycling i
guess the hard thing for me to like uh cope with that is that it was flipping some rock shit
or some pop shit and making it hip-hop, and now
it's flipping hip-hop and hip-hop, which is fine. It's just
harder.
It's hits. No, no, I get it.
Like I said, I think, I was saying
before, Berg really kind of
started that for this generation.
He did. He ran back, but instead of going to the
Him and Khaled. I think it was
more him. He did it was more him he did it
and more records
I guess
at that time
Bird made it pop
yeah
he did
and he ran and grabbed
the hits that
from the late 90s
early 2000s
and put them out again
yeah
so it's
but at the same time
it's introducing
the younger crowd to
those records they ain't never heard that shit true story they was kids true story so there's a
lot of samples on this on this album this is an expensive album for sure and my down bottom record
that i've been waiting on the drag on flip is not on there i'm gonna assume it's either gonna be on
the deluxe or there was a problem clearing
that sample yeah because i don't hear a record on here that would have made me not include the
down bottom flip on this album i don't hear that i waited months for that yeah you've been talking
about that record i don't understand i went looking for the snippet and couldn't find it
and that's and that's why i don't like getting fucking but that's the problem with these niggas man that that that let you in the studio session
early play the unfinished record now i'm waiting for that you were guilty of that though i never
did that there's a couple of the record i have never not put the record out there was a couple
of you didn't but it's fine what well yeah there's a bunch actually there's a didn't, but it's fine. What? Well, yeah, a couple. There's a bunch. Actually, there's a bunch. There's a bunch.
You're right.
It's fine.
But I started that wave, though.
So that's different.
I started a lot of shit these niggas want to spread.
It is wild.
All right, because we used to fight.
Everyone fought me.
Stop playing records on Ustream.
What are you doing?
Everybody fought me.
Fucking record executives, A&Rs, presidents.
What are your friends? I really wanted that down-bottRs, presidents. What are your friends?
I really wanted that down-bottom flip, though.
I'm not mad at this album, but what I realized is,
and I meant to get into this last week,
but we did a lot of part in last week,
so I might have been tired a little bit.
I'm glad I got these shades on.
I need cool blockers for the spring and the summer.
I underestimated the record industry and if we knew
that a lot of good music was coming this summer and that people been laying low because of the
pandemic and so forth and so on the record industry has a lot of releases coming that
don't mean that every release is fire some of these marketing plans are fire. True. And 5E got me, yo.
And I won't say that because you can hear that they put a lot of time, energy, and money and backing behind this project.
But it's cool.
And I'm not looking for cool.
I'm looking for heat.
You niggas been sitting up.
I'm not looking for cool.
This is cool.
This is cool.
But I'm not mad at him.
It's his debut.
He'll get better.
He'll evolve.
And this is a good debut.
But last week, that was cool push.
That was a cool push and hold record, too.
Yeah, it was.
It was cool.
There's a lot of cool that's coming.
You know what too, with the push, I hate to be the guy, man.
Vocal should have been up a little bit.
I thought they did that on purpose.
Yeah, maybe, but I don't want it to work that hard to hear what he's saying.
I need cool blockers to block out what's cool.
And the marketing i think the marketing of shit is getting
even more savvy yeah it is it's a little more all across the board not even with just music
like they're getting real slick with how they they are everything viralized things you know
what i'm saying i just saw that the uh what was that morbius movie yeah yeah that the director
of the movie they asked him in an interview
about the trailer because the trailer had
Spider-Man in the background.
And he was like, dog, I just
direct the movie.
They do what they want with the...
When they get to trailer time, you ask them about why
they have Spider-Man in my trailer.
Don't bother me with this.
Yeah, they good for that.
I'm sitting there saying, we know why they put spider-man yeah of course like it's marketing and then i'm like yo we gotta
get marketing tricks we gotta get we just gotta be careful yeah as consumers with we also thought
that with with favio's album which i think is a solid album by the way that kanye would be more
involved i don't think that he was as involved, at least from reading the initial credits.
You know, sometimes they add shit on later, but...
For me, it did sound like he was involved,
and that might have been another issue of mine.
That was my takeaway.
I heard he was involved.
That's probably why it sounds so clean,
and Mike Dean, but I'll never say a bad word about Mike Dean.
He's a fucking genius.
But I don't know if I want to hear Favi so clean.
You might have to add some dirt, some grime to it.
Valid.
I agree.
Valid.
That's kind of a trademark of the genre, you know, subgenre, whatever.
But this goes to you saying before that Favi might be the one to try to progress the genre.
He is.
That's why I'm going to allow him the space to experiment.
All of this goes with that.
It can't stay the same. But I got
Donda and Donda's album
of the year.
Last year.
I hold Donda in high regard as a
musical piece.
So it's
tough. It's tough.
The bar is high for me, yo.
It is.
That's why I like seeing Cole would be a...
Bro.
J. Cole is the best rapper.
He's the best rapper rapper right now.
He rapped in British, which I know is just English.
I ain't going to hold you.
He rapped in British and that shit's on fire.
It did.
I hate...
J. Cole is on the list of guys that I...
He's off...
You can't critique him anymore. He's off the list. Bro, he can do anything. And I hate. J. Cole is on the list of guys that he's off. You can't critique him anymore.
He's off the list.
Bro, he can do anything.
Make it work.
Y'all let him get away with some of them outfits, though.
That's crazy.
I don't care about what he wears.
See, look.
Fam, I want to hear the music.
We let niggas get away with fly outfits and trash music.
But I'm just saying, Cole is doing different shit, yo.
I like it.
I like it.
This shit was crazy when I heard this verse.
I like to praise it.
I'm with you that he's beyond critique, but I like to praise it when you see it.
We had him at 1A, 1B last time.
He's one.
One of one right now.
He's one of one.
Yeah, he's one.
Royce had an interesting little argument about Cole. He's saying that Cole's space that
he's in as an executive
should remove him
out of Kendrick Drake comparison
because that's what officially
makes him number one. That he's flourished in
an area where the other two have not.
I may argue
against that.
I'm not mad at that.
I don't make him number one but i won't
argue against it i'm not he's number one to me because he's number one but that on top of it is
yeah that's amazing on the cake everybody don't want to do that true i will no longer split hairs
between cole drake and kendrick they all to me are number one they all have proven time and time
again why they are number one.
Even in today's oversaturated,
crowded ass market,
crowded with niggas
that ain't rappers.
Everybody just picking,
it's like podcasting.
Everybody just picking up,
hey, hey,
welcome to episode one.
Hot dogs and parking beans.
Shut up.
What are you talking about?
Like, it's like one of those.
So I'm done.
I'm done with that.
Shout out to Cole.
Cole went crazy.
Yeah, he did. I want to give props for props as well. He's number one of those. So I'm done. I'm done with that. Shout out to Cole. Cole went crazy.
Yeah, he did.
I want to give props for props as well.
He's number one right now to me.
Undisputed champion.
For now. He definitely went crazy.
Different flow, accents, and still made the shit fire.
Like, that's...
And you say you hate, like, British rap.
Yeah.
Or dislike.
I don't want to say hate.
Yeah, yeah.
I dislike...
It's not your cup of tea.
No.
But you like this.
I like this.
He didn't do it the whole verse.
Like, he jumped in and out with it.
Yeah.
I like beer too, man.
Beer's dope.
I think that when they give us
German murder mysteries
that they should invest
more time, energy, and money
into voice sync
and the actors
and the mouths as they move.
That's what I think.
So, but if if the mouth is in one way...
It'll never be perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll never be perfectly in sync.
Okay.
But I thought Squid Game did an amazing job with that.
Money Heist, I think, did an amazing job with that.
You can get it close enough
to where you look like you're watching the same shit.
Not like the old 80s...
Chinese food movies. Right. Right old 80s Kung Fu movies.
Right.
Right?
Like, we're in 2022.
We can't get this no closer.
I like subtitles, so I do it that way.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't mind.
I watch subtitles on everything now.
I don't mind.
Everything.
Yeah, me too.
I watch subtitle shit in English.
I watch Snowfall with subtitles.
Does that mean we're old?
We're old.
Could be.
It's okay.
That's the goal.
Yeah, no doubt.
That's the goal.
I want to get old.
Yeah. That's all I got I want to get old. Yeah.
That's all I got for Fabio's album, man.
I will go back to my favorite songs on this album, but I was hype.
The music industry got me on this one.
I was hype for too many months for what I received.
That's not emotional intelligence.
That's not emotional intelligence for me.
I never want to do that. I never want to do that.
I never want to do that again.
You will.
I don't do it very often.
Because it's just artists
that you might like
and you want to see win
so you kind of
eff yourself up.
See, but that's the difference
between me as a consumer.
I want him to win, of course.
No, I'm just saying,
but that's...
But for me,
I normally block out
all industry attempts
to flood my mind with something that i didn't organically love
so the artists that i champion i typically champion them because i bet i bet that every
time out the park however they do it it's coming like that chris her snow people don't really
deviate there's more names i could think of but just off the top like
lucky day like the niggas i champion when they come i'm gonna get what i like from them they bet
they they bet a thousand or close to it fobby's a new act so the label got shit to do it's business
in play right now so even if he wanted to go in there and give them all hard crazy shit that
couldn't happen it's too much riding on
him as a young man i understand that but boy did they trick me they got me i'll admit it crazy
shit about his album is one of my favorite records i would have never thought i liked and one of my
favorites on the album is the record with queen nija and coiley rick the destiny is hard that
record is hard i was, this shit is fire.
Shout out to Beyonce
for wearing that sample.
You know it.
Told him to go clean it up
a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
Clean up that record.
You bugging,
but I'm gonna clear it for you.
Nah, I'm gonna clear it.
Yeah, nah,
you gotta look at it
when shit like that happens.
But yeah,
you could just see with Fabi
that he's being steered
in a bigger direction.
They're developing him.
Mm-hmm. Which is hard to knock. It's hard to knock. It's a good thing, though. I won't. Bobby, that he's being steered in a bigger direction. They're developing him.
Mm-hmm.
Which is hard to knock.
It's hard to knock.
It's a good thing, though.
I won't.
I won't knock it.
Hard to knock that.
Isn't one of the- It's hard to find that balance.
Isn't that one of the knocks?
That's one of the knocks, right?
That they don't develop artists anymore.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why-
Well, the knock wasn't-
The knock used, we don't develop.
He's a high-value act.
Yes. He's a high value act. Yes.
He's a priority.
So they're going to take the time and handle him with care.
When we were talking about labels getting rid of artist development,
it was the artist that maybe didn't know what was going on
and didn't have it to get.
The raw talent was there.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
But we need some help in getting to this level of potential.
They took artist development away from those people, and that's where it hurts.
The niggas that was going to be a star, some of the stars, we're going to make it regardless.
It don't matter.
Sign here, sign here, make this, make this, this feature, that song, I'll make it.
The labels now look at it as, yo, go develop yourself.
We coming in after you get hot.
Yeah, we'll catch you then. Or we'll invest a little catch you after you get hot. Yeah, we'll catch you then.
Or we'll invest a little bit and let you, you know.

We're not developing you from day one.
Labels have the easiest job in the world, yo.
Sign you.
You make the music.
And maybe two weeks or three or four weeks before your album drop, we'll say something
about it.

They're not really spending on nothing no more. No. own you're gonna go make the video put it on vivo

have your own team already producers engineers yeah because that's how you got hot to get on the

I'm distancing myself from the rest of the pack.
And when you do shit like that,
I need equity to sign the deal.

ESTG 42
Alright

Still you know what came out
Yeah, do you know
I've been playing this non-stop
First song is Ice Talk
They was talking to me
They did it for you, man
I thought
Yo, people was hitting me like,
yo, you got a skit on there
or something?
I might as well.
That would've been funny.
Nah, that would've been dope.
You talking, see, now.
You gotta get the beat, man.
Do a remix.
I gotta do something.
I got a little something on there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna get the beat.

Don't do it to him?
Don't hurt him.
Let him live.
A little eight
and just let it go.
Oh, okay, that's cool.
That'll do it.
Oh, eight.
I'm not going crazy.
All right.
But, um,
so we talk about getting what you expect from a project.
Right.
Oh, they're going to do that.
And they did that.
They're going to do that.
No, no.
Record after record, they did that.
This project is exactly what I know a lot of y'all.
This is not your lane, whatever you want to call it.
For those of us who are fans of ESTG and or 42 Doug, you love this.
They delivered right out the gate from record one.
The singles, which were Free to Shine, this was first.
Everybody Shoot Us 2.
And then right before the album dropped, they dropped Thump Shit.
Okay.
All in their bag.
I'm not stepping out my bag.
I'm giving it to you exactly what you expect from me.
ESTG don't seem to know where other bags are.
He's staying his.
No, he's letting you know this is my bag.
Dog 2.
He's staying his bag.
I haven't heard this yet.
But what a fucking blessing it is when your bag is the one that works yeah like and that's why the memphis niggas him
money bag like when these niggas start getting their shit it just is their shit that keeps
working and when they're working in a system that caters to that this is the sound right now you
know i'm saying like your label the people
you're working with allow you to just cook yeah the other thing i liked about this is once i saw
again track listing this wasn't flooded with features from the big names so this told me
they're gonna get to do them on here like they just get to cook or it was like some organic
shit where they was in there together
as opposed to mailing out all the records waiting for blah blah blah to lay their shit
yeah like like this of course they're calling it a mixtape you know how it goes with all of that but
this is just them i mean you got their homies on there a lot of acts that i've never even heard of this is what i wanted i've been playing this
project since probably 8 30 a.m thursday non-stop you think this body of music is conducive to you
being the best dad you could be my daughter was in school so yeah it's wild out time it's wild

how it could be a difficult time for somebody else.
One, two, man
some good looking moms out there, right?
Nah, for real, you there

kid and wow, look at them. Hey, hold up. Teachers don't be too bad either. No, for real, you there just on the strength of the love of your kid.
Wow, look at them.
Hey, hold up.
Teachers don't be too bad either.
Well, the teacher almost had to check a few times.
Hey, dad right here.

Come on, let him out of school.
When the teacher, oh, it's dad today.

Stop feeding the narrative that's hundreds of years old.
Don't do that.
Oh, wow, what a shocker.
There is dad.
No, no, no, no, no.
Some of the kids come out crying, get to see how the other parents handle them.
It's just a lot to look at when you pick a kid up. I'm sure it's a prime people-watching experience.
Yeah, yeah, is it?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, it is.
It's fun for me.
I enjoy the fuck out of it.
I walk in, my baby come running, arms out, screaming,
it's nothing but moms out there.

Honest question.
It does sound like a dangerous territory to run into, potentially.
Can't do that, yo.
Not my child's teacher, but maybe a teacher at the school?
Yeah.
No.
You know your kid has to see different teachers each year.
You would still do it?

unpunctual niggas in the world.

they're probably making
some changes to this shit

No, no, no.
I don't want it to leak.
Leave that link up there
for me.
It could be that, too.
I'm telling you,
I don't want it to leak.
No, but as someone
who uses private sound card links
sometimes to send shit around,
like, if I make a change,
I'm going to delete the old shit

He wore the same outfit.

I had to get some energy.
That was my vibe in the morning.
This is a great, that EST, this is a great album.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Ced, yo.
I want Fabio personally, but you know what I mean?
A little gunplay dropped the table.
I want the gunplay a little bit.
I listened to that.
Some shit on there.
I might play one as a sleeper, in fact.
I thought about that.
Yeah.
You got something, Joe?
No, I'm just making sure.
Oh, okay.
I'm just making sure that.
Don't just give me a little bit. Uh-oh. Nah, when did this drop? Are you got something, Joe? No, I'm just making sure. I'm just making sure that... Oh!
Uh-oh.
Nah, when did this drop?
Oh, I'm just late on this.
What, Coley Ray?
Nah, this Flora Fanta album by Fanta Hughes.
This album's great.
This was my sleep of the day before I had to pay homage to BTS.
You played one a couple weeks ago. I was going to play a different one. But the whole album is to BTS. You played one a couple weeks ago.
I was going to play a different one.
But the whole album is crazy.
You played one like a couple weeks ago.
That's your vibe too.
Yeah, y'all duking it out over there.
Yeah.
Yes, y'all are.
We not.
We not.
You kind of up a little bit, to tell you the truth.
I know.
And that's the problem with consumer shit today.
Like, the guy that's been doing it for seven, eight, nine, ten years.
Here comes some new
baddie who walks in with a nice outfit.
Y'all like, oh, the best ever.
They got one good season.
We ignoring Mike?
Yeah, but because when...
It's been a year.
Yeah, but he wasn't...
And y'all got
convenient amnesia.
That's not even a term
I'm looking for
but you remember
how he started
most improved
and now he's gone
most improved player
put him in his proper place
but you could be
most improved and MVP
I ain't
where
pull him up
I said he can
pull it up when it happened
it just did
show me when it's happened
in real life
this is real life
put him in his
most improved little box where he belongs.
Get that one first and then maybe later.
Have fun, right?
But before you get the MVP, first team, all MVP.
I mean, let's just slow it down a little bit.
Y'all too fast to give out genius and fucking goat.
And yo, the kids got to hold a goat and forgot every animal.
We quick to give it out.
Oh, goat.
Nigga, you are 18.
World might allow some love and respect
on that one, too.
You got to say,
greatest of my little bitty ass time
I've been on earth.
You talking about, niggas is 19, you talking about goat greatest of my little bitty ass time I've been on earth. You talking about,
niggas is 19,
you talking about go greatest of all.
All the time?
Better than the dinosaurs even?
Anyway,
I got you stupid, yo.
Sid's album,
Broken Hearts Club.
I don't know what's happening
with the internet,
but Sid is there. Is it hold you over? Broken Hearts Club I don't know what's happening with the internet but
Sid is there
does it hold you over
yeah no
this is great
this is great
R&B is great for me yo
it's
I'm not
I'm not displeased
I wonder why that is
like R&B doesn't really
seem to like
disappoint
you know what I'm saying
like the anticipation
maybe isn't as high
I don't
you know what I mean like you know what that's a that's the anticipation maybe isn't as high. I don't, you know what I mean?
Like,
you know what?
That's a great question.
I think I know why though.
I'll take a shot at it too
and I'm sure it's nuanced.
I'm sure.
I think that the tendencies
in rap fans
versus R&B fans
are totally different.
And I think I had this same talk
a million years ago
when Sean Paul came out.
Sean Paul came out
after having a million hits out
and did 30,000 records.
And the whole industry at the time
was super,
hey, what the fuck?
Well, at least some of us were.
And other people were saying,
just don't worry about it.
Word.
He did what he needed to do.
Watch what happens.
That album will do 30 000 for the
next 97 weeks in a row and hip-hop won't and sure enough that's what that album did them songs
start picking up yeah and in r&b we had the same talk with her her came out yeah 30 000 yeah i
haven't checked but i'm sure she's fine in hip hop though
I think the rap fans
it's a little tougher
to introduce a new act
and you get the fan
to ride with that new act
versus R&B where the R&B lovers
are searching
constantly for new
fresh dope
amazing R&B.
Yo, when I get in the shower and whatever little playlist I had on goes off.
It starts playing some other shit.
It just starts playing music similar to that.
I know that does that in all categories.
But I think that the R&B lovers respond differently.
I rush and go buy all them shits.
I don't know that in hip-hop the fans
are doing that and no you were saying oh no he had a point i think you got something to on this
yeah go ahead i think the talent is different so i think that when you listen in the hip-hop
the words are more of the skill yeah when you're listening to r&b the singing the musicianship
even though it's musicianship loved in hip hop too,
I think that the sound and the mood that you get from R&B,
when an R&B song come on, it catch me.
Right.
When a rap song come on, the beat could catch you,
but if the lyrics is ass, I'm gone.
Again, that's an older thing with you,
because a lot of these niggas today,
the beat and the hook is fired and the song is fired.
I don't give a fuck what they're saying. In today's hip-hop a lot of the beats and hooks sound alike
too which is why a lot of the songs are received the same way now my take on that is in hip-hop
it is it's harder to find a to break a new act and have the fans ride with you all the way
hip-hop is more follow the leader So if the right people like you,
then they're going to follow you over there.
And the second they jump off onto something else,
you were never hot,
especially if all of y'all sounded like you were like,
I see it happen with the greats.
Damn near.
I've seen people killing Nelly,
jar Eminem 50.
Like these niggas have sold diamond.
Layoffs was too long.
Well,
to that point,
cause you're right.
I think marketing is different when it comes to, Well, to that point, because you're right,
I think marketing is different when it comes to...
Give me the last
clout-chasey or gimmicky
thing that an R&B act did to let you
know that their album was coming.
I can't really think of any.
Outside of August and the Entanglement,
I can't think of one.
The R&B niggas got to really rely
on their voice and their music to cut through. In's true in rap you can get tricked wwf shit you can get fooled with
boisterous pop up here a feature here uh you know why that is you know why that is
because hip-hop is more lucrative than r&b at the moment so the labels and all of them are willing to dump more money in here
to get the bullshit going
so they can cash out.
And that's why it's more
smoke and mirrors over here.
Whereas in R&B,
it's talent.
You might be right.
You gotta put some good music out.
I think everybody's right.
And the good music
is gonna build its own.
Everybody's right.
The feeling that I get
when I hear certain R&B
I don't get from hip hop
is very, very seldom.
I'm talking about just in an organic way.
When the shit come on, I feel something.
What's the chick?
Pardon me, not chick, but the young lady from England.
Cleo Soul.
Dog, when I first heard that shit, I was just like, yo, this is something different, B.
The feeling that you get when you hear certain music It just speaks for itself
I don't gotta know you
I don't know your back history
I don't know how many niggas you shot
I don't know who you gave no head to
I just feel a way
When your shit comes on
It should be like that in hip hop too
A few weeks ago
Or whenever that was on this pod
I like your answer
We were having a hip hop talk
And I was like
Yo
I have just I said we and then I said
I have outgrown a lot of this shit in hip hop I've outgrown a lot of it right we did that pod
and a few days later I saw a tweet I wish I could remember the young lady's name because it was
poignant but it was attacking what I had said and I'm not angry at what she said but it was something along the lines of
I don't care who you are
rapper, producer
DJ, whoever
if you can say
that you have outgrown hip hop
you were never really
in love with hip hop and she
she just wrote about that
and it was an interesting conversation
online I think she was
only saying that because i had said it because who else comes out and says i have outgrown a
lot of shit in hip-hop i ain't just that that's not a common conversation that you hear i don't
anyway i i actually agree with her sentiment i think that the difference is in i don't want to
speak for you but maybe you mean the bullshit around hip-hop i think that we know what we i
think that when you hear something dope
you still go
yo that shit is dope.
Yeah you can never fall
out of love with hip hop
if you're in it.
Like if you love it for real.
I agree with that part.
But what some of us
call hip hop
is the business.
Or the mainstream hip hop
that's been fed to us.
Yeah and that side
of the business
you just can't get me with
anymore. I don't even care about the business. you just can't get me with anymore.
I don't even care about the business.
I care about the music.
Right.
I care about how I feel when your song comes on.
Right.
Yeah, but you don't know that you care about the business because some of that shit that's in front of your face, it only gets there because of business.
That's what I was trying to say.
I can believe that.
The business is controlling the music in hip hop.
Versus the music controlling the business.
I'm going to always champion the latter instead of the former.
The song Ice played as a sleeper, the kid from Philly.
Yeah.
That shit hit.
And I was like, whoa.
Because he got mad at me for that.
I said, whoa.
The hip hop shit that I played two weeks ago.
That boy can rap.
Right.
So I think that the music is just gonna hit you, yo.
It's just gotta be a feeling.
I don't give a fuck
who the labels is pushing.
If I don't like you,
I don't like you.
But what we're saying is
in hip-hop particularly,
you don't get a chance to hear it
unless the label's behind you.
You don't hear it.
It's not gonna get on the playlist.
It's not gonna get in the algorithm.
You're not gonna hear it
because that dude,
Ryan Blades from Toronto,
it's a lot of that.
It's a lot of them. A a lot but it'll never cross your radar because it's designed that way hip-hop is too
lucrative it's too much money in there so they're going to control that a little bit tighter than
they are with other genres that's valid no that's very valid i guess yeah they making so you don't
think that happens to r&B not to this extent
not until it becomes
like more
the popular
R&B stuff
once you get to pop
once you get to that
pop level
R&B
no
but the playlist
cause again
like Joe said
yo I could be
listening to some shit
and the second it goes off
they'll play some other shit
and I'll be like
whoa
whoa
whoa
who the fuck is that you know i'm saying
and i'm looking like who was that yeah because the sound got me right right so i guess if you
listen to certain genres of hip-hop it the the playlist people don't push that i don't know i'm
just asking out of curiosity no no you got to be affiliated with people really honestly in these
playlists and in this algorithm,
all that shit is controlled by them.
Just like heavy rotation in radio.
Radio, yeah.
Some of these acts will have the song pop up in the algorithm
three hours after the song that you liked went off.
That don't really help.
We're not going to let this rock for three hours, all of us.
Some people are, right?
Sure.
Or, hey, make that come on
right when they finish
right after they
shit go off
put this on
like if I'm listening
to whatchamacallit
her
right
like if I'm
in my house
and I might
fuck with Alexa
yeah
that
her Chris Brown
comes on
the first song
and that's where
blockchain
and that's where
blockchain is really
gonna change shit
this decade
I wonder when
it's already started.
How so?
But it is.
I'm listening.
Because her should get paid for that.
Oh.
If the her song went off, and now nine times out of ten,
the next song that comes on is this artist,
then her needs to get something from that.
I know that sounds preposterous.
No, it doesn't. You're somewhat responsible.
You said it about the Drake shit.
You said it about the Drake shit one time. I think 21
was saying, we don't understand how valuable
Drake is until you start to get
around the playlist
people and all that other shit. You said something like that
about the Drake shit. And I understand it at
first, but now I understand what you're saying.
I think you said that about the Spotify podcast.
It's applicable everywhere.
Listen, Nick Cannon was vocal,
I think, on one of these shows.
Or maybe it was
a private conversation.
I don't remember.
But looking at it,
they do it on TV all the time.
Right after Love & Hip Hop,
they put Black Ink.
Why?
Because this is our hit.
Chances are,
if you like this,
you're going to like this.
After the awards show, they did it with This Is Us.
They put This Is Us on after the Super Bowl.
Listen, they know what they're doing here.
What is this here?
Oh, this is the tweet.
Churches LaPorsche.
You found the tweet.
This was a popular tweet.
But not that popular.
Well, I saw it.
Churches LaPorsche.
I like that name.
If you can grow out of hip hop you're not
and never were hip hop at all
period
I don't care if you are
were a rapper
producer
label owner
whatever
she's absolutely right
she's absolutely right
agreed
I agree with that
but you definitely can grow
out of
the bullshit
the gimmicks
the bullshit
being fooled by marketing
yeah
promotion
or talentless artists mhm being fooled by marketing promotion or
talentless artists
because today
there's a lot of artists that ain't artists
man it's machine
it's machine shit
it's like fucking self checkout
it's
I'm not getting into it
you said self
checkout elaborate what are you talking about I'm not getting into it I'm not getting into it you said self-checkout
yeah
elaborate
what are you talking about
I mean machine generated
I mean no human around
to give a human pulse
to things
you ever
you ever
call
call a credit card company
or any company
and you
a hotel anywhere
and you want to get a human on the phone
but it's like an automated series
that you have to get through 90 million questions.
You keep trying to press zero or say operator.
Representative, representative.
No, we need a few more questions
before we can put you through to a human.
And you're like, yo, you're not understanding
my human reaction to some things.
You just are a fucking computer.
That's what I mean.
It's not music you
can feel it's just music that's made computers only and it sounds like it that's exactly what
it is too it's made computers only it's it's the algorithm saying we're not even looking we need
to make is the sound yeah you know how crazy it is we don't even need you humans to like it
as long as some other robots like it and we can show those numbers then we out of here so i mean
it's not that music is not for us and and i have the unfortunate uh uh the totally unfortunate year of being able to pick up on on some of that
stuff
and normally that
critique is
it's too clean
you can just tell
when music is made
it's too perfect
a certain way
music is not
art is not meant
to be perfect
not at all
it's meant to be imperfect
that's what a beauty
lies
that's what a beauty
yeah
but moving on we're done with music.
Shout out to Sid.
So happy that she came back.
So happy that she came back.
Actually, round of applause for her.
Are we done with music?
I think that's all I had.
I don't think anything else.
In my bag.
I didn't have anything else in music either.
What else was there?
I can't believe the Yankees, but I'm not going to get to sports.
Katonji Brown, round of applause.
Absolutely.
Yes.
Give her another one.
Katonji Brown, round of applause.
She did it.
It's done after having to sit through all of that fuckity fuck shit.
Duh.
Questions they was asking her, bro.
This country is just scary, man.
Scary.
Scary is like an understatement.
That fam, she's been...
Has a marvelous legal education.
She has a vast practical experience.
Something I think is a real plus.
I will vote no.
I can say definitively that I like her.
I think she's a good person, but I cannot support her.
She seems like a wonderful human being. She comes with some impressive qualifications academically and professionally.
I will vote no.
And indeed, she has a very impressive resume.
I am certainly going to vote no.
I mean, she's the realization of an American dream, so I will not be supporting her nomination.
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet
her family they obviously are and should be proud of her achievements i can't support her nomination
very gifted uh that's the one that hurt that one hurt fought hard to be where she's at in life
i'll vote no i'm the first first time i've ever voted against any supreme court nominee
no the one that hurt me the most was the one I was like, um, she's
the epitome of what the American dream should be.
But I'm going to vote no.
That one hurt me the most because
I'm playing the game
and in playing the game, my family
got to meet you. My family
got to meet this person that hate
me and I hate, but this
is the politics of it. And then you get to get
up there and say, what a marvelous family.
Marvelous.
I had a pleasure meeting her.
Wow, she's amazing.
Y'all did an amazing job.
There's no way in God's green earth I could support her.
That is nuts to me, yo.
That's disgusting.
We need a third party.
No, fam, she's been, no, the third party helped us.
I know.
We need a more active third party.
It was two independents.
The two independents voted yay for her.
And then what's the dude named Ram Paul?
Ram Paul was stuck in the bathroom.
They taking the vote.
He won't even come out.
It's like a slap in the face, some of this shit.
It's a spit in the face.
Yeah, they ain't like a slap in the face.
It's a spit in the face.
This shit is just a different level of power.
I mean, it is.
If you see it, there's a whole other group of people that says, well, he had to really use the bathroom.
I know.
I'm saying.
No, no, no.
I know.
I know.
Yo, it's nuts.
Like, I looked at the numbers.
In the numbers, two Republicans voted yay.
Only two.
And two independents.
And the score was 53 to 47.
Fam, she's the most qualified Supreme Court candidate ever across
the board.
But she might potentially vote
for something we don't like.
This would be my point.
My point be, yo, this is not about the people.
About how we gotta be qualified
to even get in position.
Even qualification ain't enough.
Yo, this is not about the American people
at this point. Y'all just playing politics.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So party tics.
It's gang warfare.
The shit is, yes, that's exactly what it is.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed Thursday to become the 116th Supreme Court Justice.
Here are key things to know about how today's vote unfolded.
Well, we know how it unfolded.
Jackson was confirmed by a vote of 53 yays,
47 nays,
three GOP senators.
Of course, we don't need this.
Oh, it's three Republicans.
I thought it was two.
Congratulations to her.
And this is extremely important.
Mm-hmm.
Extremely important.
And it was just great to see.
My mom texted me
as it was happening.
Hey, history's being made right now.
Like, I always love when the older people.
Yeah.
They be happy as shit.
Yeah.
They be happy as shit.
A lot of them never thought they'd ever see any of this.
They come from a time.
They come from a time.
This is like us seeing cars fly or some shit.
Like, you never even imagined it.
They come from a time, fam, where you just imagine when you had to get up.
Somebody say, yo, get up.
What do you mean, get up, man?
Yo, Biden's so cute, man. Somebody say, yo, get up. What do you mean get up, man? Yo, Biden,
Biden's so cute, man.
This clip was going around
the internet.
They were celebrating
the anniversary of Obamacare.
So Biden invited Obama through
to the White House.
Fib,

storming Obama.
That nigga look like
the backup quarterback
that won the Super Bowl
he turned around like
the fourth string quarterback
he was looking like

Leo DiCaprio
and Jeff Bezos
we never found out the back story on that too you not This Obama-Biden clip remind me of Leo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos.
We never found out the backstory on that, too.
You not.
That is the backstory. Do any of y'all think that y'all could keep y'all's slide that night in the event that Leo was there in that suit smelling good?
Smelling like some shit you can't buy in Nordstrom's hair slick to the side.
The pressure. I don't like some shit you can't buy in Nordstrom's hair slick to the side. It's the slot.
He hug your girl a little tighter than the introduction hug.
The game, the game, man.
Cologne left on her dress.
The game is the game.
I've been beat by lesser men than him.
She gone, fellas.
Bitches.
Yo.
I got like $16 in the pot.
No, you good.
You good.
That's a fun pot.
Let's talk about the lesser men that won.
Yes.
I guess lesser is relative.
Yo, why can't I ever win? Oh, man. That was funny. Yeah, I can't I ever win
Oh man
That was funny
Yeah I can't wait
So he turned around though like
I don't get no love
Man it's like
You ain't fucking
You ain't not getting no love
In a bomber walking man
What you talking about
That's crazy
This there you sees it
On the red carpet
All over
Yes
You were right
Nobody cares that I'm here fam
He turned around, though,
and put their arms up.
Like, what the fuck?
Yo, it's funny, dog.
That's crazy.
You know what's funny?
I think about this type of shit
in my mind
because it'd be funny a lot,
but it's funny when you think
of, like, the men that are at the...
Like, I'd be joking about The Rock
and what if your girl liked The Rock,
but those are surface names.
Like, when you start digging deep
in this category category it's way
funnier like what if albert puos like there's some names out there that you ain't they ain't
really at the tip of your mind but but you gotta kind of did yo oh please no no she's gone oh
please oh she's got out of here she's moving to whatever wherever he's at
to make your girl move to his city.
And he got enough bread.
She changed her number.
That ain't your girl number, nigga. What the fuck you talking about?
You can't even reach her.
You share that girl?
No.
She's not yours.
You lost that girl.
You don't share her?
Yeah, now you have to tell the war stories about when you used to deal with her.
That's crazy.
You got to tell your friend.
Yo, you know.
That's to be bust on ass, my nigga. Yo, that's so corny, though. That's crazy. You got to tell your friend, yo, you know. That's to be bust on ass, my nigga.

Young AI.

And they leaving. And they coming.
That nigga was different, bro. And you can't be mad at it.
No. The game is the game.
The game is the game.
That's when you just gotta go back and do some
more push-ups and get your money right. Work on the crossover. That's when you gotta get go back and do some more push-ups and get your money right
before the crossover.
That's when you gotta
get on your level, ho.
Get on your level, ho.
Get on your level, ho.
It only take another nigga
to show you what level
you supposed to be on.
You feeling yourself, but
eh.
Eh.
Look at the baby.
Go ahead and get to it.
He was feeling romantic
that night, man.
He was feeling intoxicated that night
Fuck
That's tequila right there
Yeah
I know tequila
Yeah that's definitely tequila
Hey fam
Did you
Did you see the dude
Nah
The other dude
His
His baby mom's brother
Oh he cut his hair like
He listening to podcasts
He listening to podcasts
We told him to cut his hair
And he cut it
You told that nigga
You need to be getting
A one with the season
And he went and got it
I got it too
I would've went and got it too
If they fucking
Dread
Dreaded
Dread rolled me down the boat
Down aisle nine
Dread roll
Yo
They dread rolled me down
Fucking aisle seven
It was a strike
Nigga hit all the pins.
Nah, I would be mad too.
DaBaby gonna go get some sugar, man.
Yeah, bro.
All right, DaBaby gonna go ahead and get him some charge.
That's what you gonna get.
That's what you gonna get, my nigga.
Leave these women alone.
Go call Old Faithful, bro.
What are you doing?
Nah, right after the show on tequila, I need some sugar, man.
All right.
You know the mood he was in.
We just didn't know
it was a payable charge.
Ain't nothing but cameras
in front of him.
Yo, it's fucked up.
The hood chicks learned
about lawsuits, man.
It's over.
That's like when they learned
about Chanel.
Yo, the hood chicks is like,
wait a minute now.
I think that's a lawsuit.
Mykonos.
When they found out about Mykonos, you don't even want to go no more.
You're like, fuck.
Yeah, Mykonos.
Tulum.
That was it.
Oh, man.
When they found out about Tulum, it was it.
Mykonos, Tulum, lawsuits, and Chanel.
Lawsuits.
Oh, man.
Yo, he looks hilarious man
that's tequila
that's definitely tequila
he fucked up
look at his eyes
he's fucked up
you know what
you know why this went wrong
outside of her
and I want to do it
of course
this is in comedic fashion
typically
as a man
who feels
he is irresistible
and this moment never happened between me
and the woman. The man's normally taller
so the stare down, the gaze
and the lean in
to get the kiss, there's more time
allowed. This nigga's eye
to eye.
It was instant. He had nowhere to go.
This nigga's eye to eye with
Shorty trying to create that feeling.
I ain't gonna to hold you.
He might be shorter because it looks like he stepped up on the security gate.
It looks like he stepped up to get to the kiss.
My man is 6'8".
He's shorter, bro.
He stepped up on the little security gate.
He leaned into the kiss at the wrong height.
He stepped up into the kiss.
He stepped up into the kiss.
He got his tippy toes in.
Wait, what'd he say?
He replied to, y'all go ahead on.
Hey, he replied the only way you can.
Hey, man, y'all playing, man.
Yeah, yo, man, y'all go ahead with that.
Y'all got me.
Y'all got me.
Me and my boo-boos love each other to death,
but ain't no kissing going.
That's right, DaBaby.
That's right, goddammit.
Fam.
He don't know none of this shit.
Yo, I can't say nothing about him.
I've never been the guy to lean in for the kiss
when I didn't know that she would kiss back.
I've never done it.
Yo, it's real.
So it's a different type of courage.
Yeah?
I've done it a few times.
It's very rare, though.
And I tell girls, like, yo, dog.
Do you know?
They threw the cheek at you?
Nah.
Some would just be like, nah, shit.
You're like, you just feel this big, my nigga.
It's happened a couple times.
I ain't going to hold you.
I've had it happen when I'm in a fight.
I told girls, like, yo, dog.
When you're fighting with your chit?
You know how hard that is?
Oh, I'm like, wait, wait.
You was in a fight?
No, not like a fight.
They be like, oh, I thought you ain't want to talk.
You like, fam, I'm not reading the signal.
You know how hard that is to just daringly lean in for the kiss?
No, no.
I have to highlight it.
You can't do that today.
It's tough.
See, that's why I don't do it.
To ask for consent today.
I don't do it because if I'm doing it, it's the moment.
It's not you.
So I'm going to give you the most passionate kiss in the world Saturday night at whatever time it is.
And you're going to want that same kiss the rest of the week.
And I ain't going to hold you.
Nah. No. And then you're going to want that same kiss the rest of the week, and I ain't going to hold you. Nah.
Nah.
No.
And then you're going to wait a couple months and say,
you didn't even kiss me like you used to.
Remember how we used to kiss?
Why didn't you kiss no more?
I was on tequila.
Yeah, we're going to get some Casamigos.
I can kiss you like that right now.
You don't know this,
that my pussy gets extremely wet when you used to kiss me,
and then you stop.
So now it's like...
Is that it?
So?
Yo, girls is like suckers for the kiss during sex and the talk during sex.
Now that I know that, I'm just saying flagrant shit during the sex.
I'm saying anything.
They like the flagrant shit.
They start making these noises that they want to...
Like you hear them just melt.
I'm like, damn, that was a lie.
You melted off the lie?
Yeah.
The fuck you think you do?
Now you know why we're encouraged to lie.
I didn't want the truth when I seen how you melted over the lie.
Now I got...
Yo.
Asking a question, yo.
That's a very good question. That's a very good question.
That's a very good question.
Look at the response
the lie getting.
You want the truth?
Yo.
The truth just got me
heartache and arguments
and
nah,
I'm going to get
these lies off.
Especially
all in comedic fashion.
You going to put that grip on?
You put that grip on
with the lie?
I'm going to keep lying, baby.
You the greatest. They be knowing it's a lie
I'm lying for you
You like these laws
You like the laws
That little vice grip you had on
Yeah
Told me something
Told me something
I don't want to lie to you
They'll take the lies when your dick is good
That's why you gotta get the girls
To have small friend groups
Cause it just be big friend groups
That get them to know that you lying
And like act on it
you hear this toxic
I was like yo
yo you might be
future Julian
yo yeah
future Julian
you know how long
I've been toxic
I think it's new
to the game
it's new
he the future
you the past
you good
you good
you good
see what you did
yeah good one
you good
little past
that was a pretty good one
this nigga stupid uh Koy Lee Ray says Benzino's threatening her mom because good. See what you did there, buddy. Little pass. That was a pretty good one. This nigga's stupid.
Koi Lee Ray says Benzino's threatening her
mom because Koi said he went broke
during an interview. This is super
interesting to me.
Also very triggering to me.
Also touchy. It's touchy. Deep conversation
to be had here. I don't know if I'm trying
to get that deep.
But Koi Lee Ray says
build a fucking bridge and get over it
that's bottom
my dad is texting my mom threatening her and me
because I said we went broke on a breakfast club
on the day of my album release
I hate to bring this shit to social media
but my father needs help
sorry if I offended you
you shouldn't bring it to social media
I know we referenced a lot
at what point do they learn that some things shouldn't be on social social media. I don't. I know we referenced a lot of talk a lot.
At what point do they learn that some things shouldn't be on social media?
But let me finish reading.
Y'all think about that.
I hate to bring social media, but my father needs help.
Sorry if I offended you in the breakfast club, but don't treat me or my mom because you hate to admit that we went broke after the source.
Build a fucking bridge and get over it.
That's why I don't even like mentioning his name.
That's why I never mention his name coming into this industry
because he can't get over his past
and don't even realize how much he is damaging
when he does this stuff, end quote.
That's heavy.
It is.
That's really heavy.
It's heavy.
She's young.
She's admitted that her and her dad
are in the relationship building process right now that can get tricky with boundaries and both people learning how to treat each other and love each other.
Right.
So I understand that.
This is interesting to me.
I'm on her side, by the way.
I'm on her side, by the way. I'm on her side in this.
I read Benzino's reply,
which was something along the lines of,
yo, these kids don't respect
the things that came before them
and they should know how important it was
in paving the way
so they could have the proper,
the chance that they have now.
Something like that.
And while that's true. I don't get what that had to do with what she was saying i i agree with what he's saying
but what does that have to do with her statements he's saying they both can be true but i think
what you were about to say i can't say what you were about to say, but would it
have hurt for her not to say that on
The Breakfast Club?
I also want to say, she said
a lot of great, amazing things
about her dad on The Breakfast Club interview.
Gotcha. Okay. I didn't hear it,
but...
I didn't hear this part. All I
heard was the admiration
and tiptoeing the line and being respectful and saying,
yo, no matter where their relationship is, all I heard was, yo, my dad is the greatest
man in the world.
Him and I are getting better.
And I just want to make him proud.
But I want to do it on my own.
It's hard.
And it could have been a truthful situation where we might have been going through it
for a little while after the show.
Right, which is not necessarily.
Which may not necessarily be. It may not be a shot. you know what i mean like it's it's hard to judge parents got to get the fuck out of the way if that's what the kid wants
of the career i mean yeah that's the angle that i'm taking here i've heard it from too many famous
people's kids i've heard it from my kid these kids and it's a tough pill to swallow for a parent we work our
whole life to afford a better life for our kids and then our kid comes and says thanks but i don't
give a fuck i need to carve my own way i need to make a name for myself actually lebron was just
talking about that on the shop with brawny he said that brawny came up with the name brawny and brawny said dad good looking but move it i need to create my own and that's what coyly uh coyly ray said in
that interview that's what i heard it's sad that benzino feels the need to impede on that for a
second time he did that with exposing the nicky feature that could have been bad that could have
been very that could have ended bad if she don't have that Nikki featuring record things are affected greatly yeah not only that if if that sours that relationship
and then Nikki's like yo I don't fuck like I don't even want to fuck with her there's a lot of people
that would not get behind her because they don't want to piss Nikki off and that could have had
ripples that really crippled her career yeah 100, 100%. And Benzino, respectfully, you had your time.
I know because I was outside.
I'm also one of the people that champion your participation in this thing.
You can't really unless you are a hater.
The source, the records of the old crew in Boston.
Made men.
Made men.
If you're familiar with Benzino, boy, he's done a lot.
But it's her turn now.
It's her turn now.
And your story can be whatever you want it to be post the source.
Post whatever happened.
I mean, half for nothing in her success.
He still will get some glory, even in her success.
Yo. Almighty RSO, that's who I was thinking of thinking that was the other group yeah rso forgot about that yo um
we don't get to tell our kids what their story is if her story and her interpretation is yo
when that source shit happened times got rough Then it don't matter that you was up.
It don't matter that you want people to believe you was up.
It don't matter how difficult
that time was for you.
Put that to the side.
It ain't your story now.
It's hers.
And her story is,
I remember times being a little tough
when that happened.
You can't get mad at your daughter
for sharing that on the radio when her debut album is dropping.
That's not your place.
And it's not my place to tell you how to parent.
So I won't.
Mind my business.
I love both of them.
I want them to be all right.
It sickens me some of the parent-child stories I see today.
Some of the co-parenting stories I see today.
But you got to mind your business. This one
is sad, because as a
dad, you know
what it take for your 20-year-old
to get shit poppin' out there. I told Trey the other
day, nigga, Coley Ray bustin' your ass.
If you don't get your ass out,
the fuck?
Gotta start looking at
the other kids. Hey, nigga.
Hey, nigga, What you doing?
You ain't driving around.
You better go bang on something.
But you know how tough it is for your kid to gain that type of traction?
Because you've been there, you know all it entails.
It's tough.
Shouldn't want to step on that or dim that or bring some dad previous shit into this.
No. No.
And it was extra tough for her
because she did it without using your name.
Yeah. Intentionally.
But still, that's taking the harder
route. True. Like, niggas
didn't know that was his daughter until after she... I didn't.
After she popped. I had no idea.
So she intentionally... And then she still had
to go find a big per.
Yeah. Still had to do it. Whether we know that's your dad or not then she still had to go find a big per yeah
yeah
still had to do it
whether we know
that's your dad or not
she still had to go
and hit the ball
out the park
which she did man
I hope that they both
get better with
with their
their relationship
I care about both of them
I'll pray for both of them
and this is a unique story
because how often
do we get to hear from
both sides yes yeah
shout out to both of them i hope they work it out oh and benzino says let me read it so people
the problem with the social uh social generation is they have uh no respect or regard but who came
before them and how they laid the blueprint for them to be successful i always revered those who
came before me and i'm grateful
to the legends of hip-hop pursue their dreams and aspirations an idiot i don't know what happened
here oh was i supposed to read from the bottom no all you young people who are in their 20s and
successful at rapping chances are you still will be rapping in your 50s period when the younger
generation starts listening more and respect the older before them, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
That's hate.
It's hate.
You can't do that.
You cannot hate.
And while that could be a segue into hating on your kid or your parents or your significant other, I'll skip it.
But that's hate.
You can't say the kids today will still be rapping in their 50s because that's what we did.
That's what we did.
And if you look, these kids is doing a lot more than y'all was doing.
They getting, it's just way more avenues.
I think they're going to show us differently.
And so that when they're 30 years in, it will look nothing like this.
The fucking athletes from back in the day, when you hear them talk now, they oh but they was hand checking back then yeah it's changed yeah yeah it's different things
happening shooting from 40 feet with consistency not only that a lot of these young 20 successful
rappers today saw y'all mistakes no they learned from and they learned they looking at we just
heard a little baby say if i sign a deal i need equity not only saw some were affected by correct yeah correct
it's deeper they put a report out there rihanna is at uh 1.7 bill she's the wealthiest person
maybe entertainer ever from barbados but i think they said she might be the wealthiest person
in barbados and she's in her what 30s yeah fam they're playing a different game and she's in her, what, 30s? Yeah.
Fam.
They're playing a different game,
yo.
She's setting a path for females coming behind her
that Kim or Lauren
or even Patti LaBelle,
any of them,
have set for her.
You get what I'm saying?
Yeah, right.
So you got to get
the old niggas they props,
but the young people
picking up the time
and taking it further.
And the old niggas can't hate on the younger ones for doing that.
Because there's a lot of that that happens.
On my day, we didn't get to do it.
Well, that was your day.
It's a new day.
Information is here.
Do y'all want to talk about the weekend sticking up Coachella, allegedly?
Yeah.
Let's get to it.
Ice, do you believe he stuck up Coachella?
I do.
Parks, do you believe it?
I'm sure he tried. Let me let the listeners know, Kanye he stuck up Coachella? I do. Parks, do you believe it? I'm sure he tried.
Let me let the listeners know, Kanye backed out of Coachella.
It was said he was receiving $8.5 million payday.
They announced that they booked The Weeknd to fill the slot.
And then once that $8 million headline came out, The Weeknd had a headline come out to say,
Oh, no, I want $8 million too.
I'm not doing it.
line came out the weekend had a headline come out to say oh no i want eight million two i'm not doing it and then we had another headline come out after that to say the weekend got his eight million
i don't believe it which part i don't believe he got whatever kanye was getting i don't believe
that not for a second when when coachella is a week away yeah that's why I think he got it.
To fill that spot in that short term
with our backup against the wall
and we know the money was there set to pay out,
nah, that's what you're paying him.
I want that or I'm backing out too
and let you start to scramble all over again.
Then you can back out.
Or we pay you and you don't back out.
And I do think they paid him so he didn't back out.
I just don't think they paid him
what Kanye was going to be paid,
even if it says Kanye
was going to be paid $8 million.
I could see shit.
He might have should have asked for more.
Yeah.
It's possible.
I wouldn't be shocked
if Coachella put that shit out.
Yeah, Kanye was getting $8 from us.
Because The Weeknd can get $8.
But Kanye probably was getting more.
Kanye wasn't getting
a fucking $8 million.
Put that down there so that, yeah, this is what he'll take.
And if he was getting eight million in fees,
then I'm sure Kanye's production budget is different from The Weeknd's production.
But there is a difference somewhere in this.
It ain't the same fee for Coachella.
That is speculative on Joe's part, but I know enough to know that.
And on top of that, now the headliner isn't just The Weeknd.
It's The Weeknd and House Mafia and The Weeknd.
Yeah, you didn't get Kanye money with Split and Stop, yo.
Stop.
This is more that The Weeknd, you my man.
But I don't even know that he put this out.
But this is smoke and mirrors.
Not that it matters to me.
Long as they on the stage.
Yeah.
I'm probably not watching that lineup.
No way.
And that lineup, Swedish House Mafia

pyramid scheme.
Yeah.
This shit is a
fucking scam.
Yes.
You're right.
I agree with
that.
There goes Joe
hating on artists

successful than

hate.
This is just acknowledging something.

Congratulations to The Weeknd.
Shit, if you got a million, I'm happy.
Yeah, get it.
You got your bag.
That's a hell of a check.
Shout out to him.
And Swedish House Mafia.
Shout out to them as well.
And it's a look for him because he didn't do the Grammys, boycott the Grammys, all of that.
So now you come back a week or two after that and you get the top slot at Coachella.
It's a shout.
Alex, we don't care.
Do we have funeral horns?
I've never heard of funeral horns.
Oh, yeah, something.
Just play the Undertaker theme song.
Yeah, Undertaker song.
Yeah, I know what you're
talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's get it out of
here.
Winter is over.
Something sad.
Just end of the road.
End of the road.
Gotta do it.
That's funny.
Gotta do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, enough.
It's.
Enough.
You guys have only seen
the darkness.
What's more, man? Yeah, that's what I'm fucking saying. only seen the darkness. I was born.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
End of the road.
End of the road.
I've been holding out hope.
I've been holding out hope.
I mean, maybe, maybe, maybe they'll turn it around.
What you giving us?
The blizzard is over.
The temperature is rising.
It's melting.
Snow is melting.
The polar ice caps.
Global warming.
Everything, man.
Let's blame global warming for this.
This is revelations happening.
This shit is done.
I don't know who they had to hire.
They didn't hire him. I would have went't they did this themselves i would have went and got 50s writers
from power no no they might have did that no the first battle oh okay i don't went got all them
niggas and gave them whatever bag they wanted snowfall is terrible now terrible now this season
has been terrible. Basura.
Thank you. Can I just get a, oh, you was right.
You was right. Thank you. I just wanted one. I'm an optimist, man. I'm holding
on hope that this show that I
held in such high regard
couldn't possibly, they were just
taking us somewhere, you know what I mean? Couldn't crash and burn this back?
Nah, they were just taking us somewhere. They've already announced
next season will be their last.
Clap that. That's what we clap.
Yeah.
Clap it up for O'Yella.
Maybe it'll be like a short season, too.
I want it.
Three episodes.
Mini series.
Mini series.
I think it's about to get gangster, though.
Clap it up for O'Yella.
They got to.
I think next week it's going to get a little rough.
It's two episodes left.
It's episode nine next week-ish.
What the fuck else is there to do?
This was the eighth episode of the season.
Know what I'm saying?
I think some real shit is...
It's a wrap. Next year... I mean, next episode of the season. No, I'm saying I think some real shit. It's a wrap.
Next year.
I mean, next season is the last.
So now they got to start doing some eccentric shit.
But what we're saying is they only have two episodes to do it.
I know.
No, I'm just saying.
I think any television series ever created by episode nine on a 10 episode order.
I expect them to be getting into something by episode.
No, I'm saying something besides just acid. Yeah, I'm saying I think in the be getting into something by episode nine. Something besides just acid.
Yeah, I'm saying I think
in the next episode or one to come,
two or three of the main characters will be dead.
That's what I'm saying.
They all could die.
Set a nuke off.
Yo, she got crazy.
If I thought shooting
at the TV would do it, I would.
Word is born.
I'm done.
Take O'Yella in the back and put her out of her misery.
That's what Snowfall is at this point.
Shit is disgusting.
Fam, the very, spoiler alert.
I don't care.
Nah, we can spoil this shit.
The very first scene is the pregnant girlfriend, who we still don't know the fuck you came from.
It was.
Came from TJ Maxx.
Going to meet the op, who just tried to spray everybody.
Say, yo, dogs, am I safe?
No, I know he told me I'm good, but am I safe, though?
Mr. Op, can you put the cigarette out?
Because I'm pregnant.
Mr. Op.
Not only am I his girlfriend, I'm carrying his child.
So if you really want to get at him, I'm the person you should really get.
Yeah, I'm right here.
And I'm right here.
I don't know if I'm safe, but I'm going to come in here with no security.
But I'm going to ask you to talk to you.
Guy that just came home.
Right.
Who just tried to kill anybody.
Shot at anybody.
Am I good?
Or do I got to go back east?
I just heard the whole gang
say they was mad
worried about him
and he was a threat
to the whole operation.
I'm going to go meet
with him by myself
and let him know
that I have a baby coming
and I'm the one
you should kill
in case times get hard.
What are you talking about?
In case the deal goes awry.
And then say,
he says,
well, I made a deal with him.
No, I heard about that deal
but I just want to know
from you.
From you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I trust your words.
Spoiler alert
if you haven't seen this. Don't watch it. It's spoiled. No, no, no. No, no, yeah. I trust your words. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it.
Don't watch it.
It's spoiled.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
My mom is really mad about how we did Bel Air.
If you haven't seen it, just don't watch it.
My bad, Mr. Fink.
Save yourself.
That's all.
Don't even watch this shit.
Yo, the chocolate LSD did it for me, man.
I mean, it sounds like a good time, but I don't really want to watch that for 40 minutes.
Yo, you watch the LSDd shit so this is my tea oh man first of all the last time i saw scully they saved his life right
they worked together right got rid of the ops
why the fuck is scully standing by the chocolate Niagara Falls ready to fucking...
In the middle of the ceremony, by the way.
Yeah, you're not even watching my wedding.
Then he asked the waitress to get him a water.
They didn't, like...
That's how Preen treated me at your wedding.
Hey, Joe, get over and take this picture of me and Joe, man.
Like, yo, this nigga's the nuptials.
Like, that's my man.
Hey, get us a water, too, nigga.
But go ahead.
Hello, nigga.
I thought somebody was going to come through and spray the joint.
I thought he was trying to get back at them.
Yeah.
I thought it was going to be poison in there or something.
Something.
You know what was the other thing?
He did it as a gift.
Fam.
He really did.
Like, yo, I'm hooking you up.
I mean, I do wish someone would have done that at my wedding.
But, I mean, besides that point.
Why was the whole drug cartel friends and family associate operation at the wedding?
The gun guys right there.
Thank you.
Why is everybody there?
Except for Teddy.
The only one with some sense.
Teddy don't fuck with them.
Because he got some fucking sense.
They shouldn't have all been at the damn wedding sitting here.
This is a Rico case
sitting here.
Nigga,
everybody just got convicted
right there.
Oh, you don't know him, huh?
I wish they would have
just put an Amazon truck,
I tweeted this,
or some iPhones
or something current
to let us know
they don't give a fuck about this.
Like the Game of Thrones writers did.
All the LED lights
in the ceilings
didn't do it for you
because that did it for me.
It's supposed to be in 1977.
They got those fucking Phillips Hue strips in the ceilings.
I didn't even catch that.
I didn't catch it.
Yo, you're right.
Yo, you good.
I didn't catch it.
She is absolutely right, yo.
Man, get this shit the fuck out of here, man.
I told you.
Drag it out back.
What a run it had, man.
Nah.
It's over. I like the
self-reflection of Franklin.
You know what? I did.
I think it was artistic.
That's other shit that pissed me off, too.
When he was screaming. I'm seeing everybody
on Twitter, yo, he's putting on an acting clinic.
I will say the acting
has kept me glued.
He's doing whatever.
He's a great actor.
He is a great actor.
The actors are doing what they're supposed to do.
And I think that he's doing what he has to.
He's reading that script, too.
You know, he's like, oh, tigers?
Oh, fuck, I got to turn up, man.
Rawr.
Shit.
Wait, this is the acid for the whole episode?
Oh, fuck.
All right.
I'm going to go crazy.
No, I think this...
I don't like the direction.
I think this episode wasn't as bad as Y'all Niggas Killed It.
I think it was going to be...
It was worse.
We're granting it grace.
For real.
We've been real nice to this episode, man.
The writers or somebody here needs to take a cue from the new Grambling's woman's volleyball coach.
Fire everybody.
She came in there.
This is the gulliest shit I've ever seen.
Rest in peace, John Singleton, man.
This would have never happened.
Rest in peace, John Singleton.
The Grambling volleyball coach cut the team.
The entire roster.
She cut everybody, all 19 of them
she cut them niggas
or those women
some of them on scholarships
oh shit
what the fuck
dog
you don't understand
I've been watching the film
you don't understand
three months on the job
or you watch the tape
it wasn't
wasn't given what it was supposed to give.
Yeah, you got to go.
Bump, set, and spike.
Wasn't bump, set, and spiking.
She went puff.
Grambling, put out a note.
Hey, we knew she was going to make changes, but we didn't know she was going to do that.
Yo, I like the move.
I love it.
I like it.
I don't like it for the kids that are without scholarships and programs to attend, and at
the time it was done, I don't like that.
I don't like that. I like the messages. I don't like it in college.
I just, I don't like
the messages. I'm sorry.
But if y'all
wasn't performing,
why can't I end this?
Ain't no free rides.
Get off my team. I'll go find
19 girls from the hood
to come spike a ball
or do it cheaper.
That's a very important life lesson they all learn.
I'm sorry.
It is.
I just read some shit about AAU coach doing this whole shit.
His star player, he sat him because his attitude was shitty.
Sat him down.
He lost the game.
Yep.
Like, yo, you can't do that here.
Life lessons.
That's not playing for me, nigga.
And you know, AAU is big business.
Mm-hmm.
Sat him. Never mind me when they suspended Jameis Winston for half. You can't do that here. Life lessons. That's not playing for me, nigga. And you know, AAU is big business. Mm-hmm. Saddam.
That remind me of when they suspended Jameis Winston for half.
If you really great, nigga, win us the game.
We are suspending Jameis.
I know.
Man, after halftime, nigga, game right out there.
The dogs.
Hey, our bad.
We might have had nine touchdowns in the half.
Nine interceptions still, but I mean.
I like Jameis, man.
Jameis is nice, man.
I like Jameis.
Jameis.
He's really turned it around.
I wanted Jameis.
I wanted Jameis.
That would have been good.
He's turned it around big time in New Orleans.
No, we're going to get y'all Baker and Dwayne in the QB room to talk to each other.
I think I'm Mitch.
It's going to be so hard to draft a good fantasy team this year, yo.
This is going to be nuts.
Yo.
It's going to be tough.
It's upside down.
It's going to be luck.
A lot of shit is going to be luck.
I'm waiting for August.
I can't wait.
What's your man you drafted from the Colts last year?
You didn't even draft him.
Taylor.
I auto-drafted and won the championship.
I human-drafted my other draft and lost.
What does that say?
The algorithm got you, dog.
Maybe those algorithms are right.
Yankees have not signed Aaron Judge.
Why?
That's it.
I don't have a take.
I don't have an opinion.
Y'all know what time it is. I don't. I don't, actually. I don't have a take. I don't have an opinion. Y'all know what time it is.
I don't.
I don't, actually.
I don't.
Aaron Judge is not signing no extension for $225 million.
Why does everybody know that but the Yankees?
I don't know why.
You don't know why what?
He wants, huh?
Yeah, just that.
Why's that?
He's street clothes.
No, he's not.
Damn. No, he's not. Okay. He He's street clothes No he's not Damn No he's not
He's not street clothes
Sheesh
He be hurt a lot my nigga
He gets hurt a lot
Damn
I'm putting people
How many years for the 225?
It's an extension so I don't know
But you're not signing an extension
If you are him
Baseball got that I'm Seven years It's an extension, so I don't know. But you're not signing an extension if you are him.
Baseball got that bread.
Seven years.
You would never.
You're seeing too many people get 350 for 10 for you to take that. You're homegrown.
You're from the farm system of the Yankees.
You're 6'8", 270,
you're a home run machine.
We've never seen nothing like this since
before I was born.
The Yankees just don't get this to fall in their lap.
And now y'all don't want to give them
what y'all supposed to give them?
He's a marketable dude.
30 million a year.
What do y'all think y'all are doing, y'all?
And this is the game.
And marketable.
This is the game they be trying to play, man.
I'll trade that nigga.
No, you won't.
You'll pay him.
You'll pay him and make 10x on your side.
He just want his side.
That's the funny part, though.
You're not going to let him go.
This yours?
Yeah, you got it.
With the Yankees, though, they're going to make that money regardless.
It's like the Knicks.
We had this conversation off mic last week.
Some of these owners don't give a fuck.
If you're Dolan, do you really care if the Knicks winning?
Ish, I love you.
Get this conversation out of here.
Because all we know of the Yankees is championship.
It's ownership.
It's not like James Dolan and the Knicks where he didn't care.
The Yankees and that Cashman.
I was touching on your 10x point.
Steinbrenner.
You know Steinbrenner
want to win.
He'll sell the Brooklyn Bridge.
That's why this is weird.
The Yankees typically pay.
They changing.
They pay.
They overpay.
Everybody.
Maybe they tired of that shit.
They changing.
Yeah, but don't be tired of it
when it's your guy.
Don't be tired of it
when it's your guy.
And when your lineup,
when you're pitching when
everything is set up for you to win you've underachieved you brought the bum ass coach back
fucking coach you don't do it with yours i hate when people do it to theirs
yeah i know there's a joke there because people feel like i've done it to my but
you can't do that to your people, yo.
And he's going to get paid.
He is.
They're going to pay him. He's going to get paid.
No question.
By the Yankees?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I don't follow this.
The Yankees will fold.
They're just playing some hardball here.
This is the first round of negotiations.
But what was they saying?
The deal had to be done by the start of regular season or something, right?
Man, he's getting $30 million a year.
They were saying they had it until Friday 105.
It's not no money.
What do you think he want, $40?
$35?
I think that he...
I think athlete minds are the same.
Same way Debo Samuel, Zeke, all the niggas that hold out.
I think that Aaron Judge looks at those other dudes that are $350 and $400 million
and says, I'm way better than them.
And if I ain't, I want to be the
top paid guy in the league based on what I
can do when I'm present.
I'm not coming to work for $225
million and somebody else is getting $350,
$375 and I'm in the same ballpark.
No way. And I'm on the fucking
biggest franchise in professional
sports. And I'm super marketable.
No agent will even
convince him of that.
30 million is like
basketball player money.
I'm the best in a sport
with no salary cap.
Man, if y'all don't get
this shit out of here
somewhere.
So they lowballing him
basically.
Yeah, that's a lowball.
Call hardball.
Pay Aaron Judge, yo.
They will.
And do it fast. It's a little song and dance yo. They will. And do it fast.
It's a little song and dance.
I'm confident.
But do it fast, though.
Do it fast.
They ain't got a hundred-something games.
People feel better.
Yeah, cool.
But people feel better at the plate when the plate is full.
True.
True.
Yeah.
They swing that bat with a little more oomph when they are taken care of.
You athletes say it all the time. Yo, my future, I want to be stable. I don't know where I'm going. My injuries. Yeah, everyone swing that bat with a little more oomph when they are taken care of. You hear athletes say it all the time.
Yo, my future, I want to be stable.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm an injury.
Yeah, everyone wants that.
Not just sports.
Stability.
Yeah, well, you go try that at your job.
They'll tell your mental health to fuck off.
Yeah, true.
You're going to perform or not.
In sports, the swing is a little... I'm not happy.
I'm not the happiest camper today.
Shout out to Aaron Judge, man.
I didn't know that's where Parks was going with the end of the road sad music.
No, I knew.
I thought he was going to talk about him running away from that little brother doc.
So I'll cue the music back up again one more time.

People telling their truths
I don't want to hear the truths
But if you're going to tell the truth
You should do it in a doc

We're here to highlight the crumbling.
I don't want to highlight the crumbling.
But they're doing it.
Yeah, no.
We don't want to do that.
May the Lord watch the little brother story.
Fonte, been working on this one for five years and calling it an emotional journey is a big understatement.
Inspired by my big brother, Questlove's Oscar win, here's the first trailer from May the Lord Watch. The Little Brother Story 2023.
Thank you for listening.
LB Business.
I'm watching this.
Of course.
And I hope it's not that bad.
Yeah, me too.
It could be though.
But I hope not.
I wonder if they're going to tell the truth.
No.
No, right?
No.
What is the truth?
Exactly.
The truth is whoever get their story out first.
That's the truth.
Robert Glasper under there putting fire on.
Listen, man, we need this now.
Sorry.
Hey, Robert Glasper wants this as bad as I do.
Oh, man.
Prayers to everybody involved, man.
Love those guys.
Snigger Parks love praying.
He probably don't pray at night either.
He will pray for all these potty topics.
Whatever.
Praying for the little brother, Doc.
No, I'm not praying for the Doc.
I don't want the Doc.
I'm praying for all the mental health and happiness of all these gentlemen.
Yo.
Yo.
Your man, Jesse Smollett, released a record a record called thank you god is that your sleeper
absolutely not and it is talking about how he feels about his guilty verdicts

Hey, little brother, sorry.
Backseat.
Move aside.
Hey, Jussie just dropped.
Yo, these niggas, man. man these guys they've been in the news rewind that from the top no i need to hear this not solving a crime taking out the elements
of race and trans and homophobia that's straight taking lives but turn around and act like i'm the
one that killed the strides.
Maybe we stick together.
Maybe we read more of these.
Instead of saying that it's above me now,
brother, you sure?
Wait, pause it.
Wait, are you fucking kidding me?
Maybe we stick together.
Did I?
Is this a different Jussie?
Yo. You threw your fucking castmates co-workers and
star television show under the bus when everybody was trying to renegotiate
you went to subway made up a whole line you dragged this out for years and now maybe we
need to stick together if you want to say something so bad, I know you,
but I know you fall with.
Come on.
Let me hear it.
I'm good.
No,
but this highlights something that I've been talking about for a long time.
Studio owners in America.
Y'all let any,
y'all take anybody little hundred dollars an hour,
$150 an hour.
Hey man,
go ahead.
An engineer let you right on inside.
Just ring this bell.
This was done on an iPhone in the bathroom.
And if I owned a studio, that nigga could come in there and small lawyer all day.
I don't give a fuck.
This should have been done in the penitentiary.
I don't know the audio quality.
Sounds like it could have been.
Throw his ass behind in the slammer.
Where's my free somebody?
Why we don't ever talk about who need to be locked up?
Lock him up.
It's been four years of this.
Oh, shit, yo.
Lock him up.
That's funny.
Play the rest, man.
All right, let me get back to you.
Hold on.
Oh, man.
That nigga is going to, boy.
Yeah, I don't get this.
I'm sorry.
You're going small, are you?
People searching for frames. People chasing that cloud.'t get this. I'm sorry. I think I'm going small AU.
People searching for frames.
People chasing that clown.
Just remember this. This ain't that situation.
You think I'm stupid enough to keep on reputation.
Just hope you two look like a victim.
Like it's something fun.
I better look at someone else.
That's the wrong one.
Yes, Jussie.
We think you're stupid enough to ruin
your reputation and your career with this fucking
crazy lie i do think that if you're asking me and i don't think you alone it's just the other
lies that these hollywood dudes do if i say it they'll cancel me on the spot
but i still want to get to terry cruz one day y'all let him get that off. And went right back to work.
Why y'all let Terry Crews get back to work,
y'all?
Yes, you can.
Okay.
Go back to it.
You got the wrong one. No, we got the right one,
Jussie. He got the nerve to put
the lyric break down.
You know what he got with Rob?
Why is he rapping like Prince? Don't thank me. I want you off the streets.
Yo, turn this off, man.
Yo, who wrote this?
Maxwell?
Jimmy Cozier wrote this?
Yo, you being wild disrespectful. I'm asking you who wrote this.
He wrote it.
That's his words.
That's how he feel.
This sound like a fucking Glenn Lewis record.
This sound like Michelle D'Angelo.
This nigga thinks he's Michelle D'Angelo. This nigga thinks
he's Michelle D'Angelo.
That's my girl too,
but I did never know
how to pronounce her name,
but she got slapped.
You don't know either.
It's a complicated name.
I'm not trying to be funny
because she's hurt.
She's really hurt,
but I never knew
how to pronounce her name.
This nigga put out
a Tracy Chapman record ghost wrote this
instead of sharing shade of rooms and up on CNN that's why from LD to Don Still got love for y'all I know we'll meet again
Talk like real men
Instead of sharing shady rumors
And I don't see it
The thunder's mad loud
Still I'm pushing through the clouds
All I really wanted to do is make my people proud
Fame is nothing real
That's how you make them feel
Celebrity is for the first
Yo can you turn this bullshit off
All that I got is you.
Yo.
This nigga fucking made a PM Dawn record.
Rest in peace, PM Dawn.
Prisby.

He built something.
He built him something.
But he built something.
From the ground up.
And the pastor.
They black, so they showed

The pastor got the greatest markup in the world.
You got to go buy some wine and crackers.
Hey, the pastor tell you your money going to God.
You know that money ain't tangibly going to God.
He God.
God doesn't ever pay to kill.
It's like when you tell your girl, I'm too loud.
They said black lives matter.
They black.
Well, they mad enough to need a mansion.
Yeah.
Black lives matter enough to need a mansion.
Yeah.
Their livelihood mattered.
Pastor, take the tithes and offering and go get him a Benz.

True.
Let's talk about some real hip-hop.
Through Luminary.

Let's say May 3rd?
24th.
Oh, May 24th.
First album in 24 years.
May 3rd, you're correct.
I had the numbers.
Oh, okay.
May 3rd.
Yeah, May 3rd.
Coming through Luminary,
which is their podcasting platform.
Okay.
I'm going to have that album in my phone, in the music app.
Black Star, Mos Def, Talib.
I'm going to let y'all know I'm not getting it through your podcast app.
But I will have that album, and I will be listening to it, because I am a fan.
Yo, Talib, just put your cash app in the comments
and I'll shoot you the bread.
You know what I mean?
That way.
I'm not even doing that
after you bootleg.
It's not bootleg.
No,
but I'm paying directly.
Yeah,
straight to consumer.
Direct.
That's it.
Gotcha.
Fuck the middleman.
Gotcha.
Are we excited about this?
I'm excited about the album.
It's Mad Lib Produce.
It's been done for a while, I think.
They played it for a million people.
Everyone says it's great.
By how long?
It's been a couple years.
They've been talking about it.
Oh, okay.
See, I thought this was something new.
Mark, shut up.
Why?
Because that's what they always do.
What you mean?
Everyone's been talking about it.
Everyone says it's great.
I know people personally that I trust their musical opinion.
You did this with the Busta Rhymes album.
I'm not doing it. Okay. That Busta Rhymes. No, you did this with the Busta Rhymes album. I'm not doing it.
Okay.
That Busta album wasn't bad.
I like that Busta album.
ELE 2?
That wasn't bad.
That was a good album.
Who said it was bad?
I'm going to stop having y'all do that.
Who said it was bad?
My statement is about
the greatness that they said.
Who said it was bad?
Okay.
Y'all are going to stop doing that to me.
They're doing it to me too, so I understand
exactly what you mean. You never said that.
Yeah, we only talking about the greatness
of it.
If I hear it, it'll be because Ice sent it to me. I'm not
going to Luminary to hear it, but I do
champion different ways of releasing
music, especially if you already have
a deal here. That is smart.
I'm not mad at it at all. Trick the system.
Try some shit. Experiment.
Be creative.
I like it.
I like it.
Shout out to Blackstar.
And it's got to be exciting
for Blackstar fans.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, it's got to be exciting.
I can't wait to hear
some new Mos Def music.
It's been 15 years
or something
since he put something out.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
And he's one of those ones
that you can't lose it.
Madlib albums are pretty
solid historically.
You know what I mean like he
most is one of the ones
that you can't lose it
yeah
facts
so I'm looking forward
to hearing this album
me too
do y'all want to talk about
the white girl
that murdered her
black boyfriend
and then released
the OnlyFans video
allegedly
and now there's footage
popping up of her
covered in blood
and then they pulled up
the old tweets of the black boyfriend where he was kind of hating not kind of he was hating on black
women saying that he don't date them and just how they are lower class but he didn't say that but he
had a lot of tweets about it i'm getting with a white girl. My dream girl is a white girl. Fuck these black girls. That's what was the premise of the tweets.
And then when those
tweets were
resurfaced,
a lot of people had a lot less
compassion for his brutal
murder. And I didn't
know how to feel about that.
I'm a human. I said it last pod.
If there's death,
I feel. Tweets I said it last pod. If there's death, I feel.
Tweets don't equate death.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to wish death on someone because I disagree with their life stance.
You say different-ish?
Certainly not from tweets, personally.
I don't wish death on anybody, but life has a twisted sense of irony so if you are sitting around championing
and dissing black women um in favor of white women you can have your preference that don't
mean you got shit on nobody else i agree with you 100 so now that you are sitting around
if he did that because i never read the tweets he did that, if he did that, because I never read the tweets.
He did that.
But if he did that and that, it's ironic that your white queen poked you up.
In his sleep.
Oh, he was asleep.
I didn't know he was asleep.
From what we know about it.
But you know what's even crazier?
We're going to start talking about irony.
I didn't even know they had pictures of her bloody until today.
But she didn't get arrested.
She didn't get charged.
She didn't get nothing.
What?
Nothing.
Came to the house.
Yeah, he did.
No handcuffing her.
Nothing.
That's crazy.
New video showing the bloody aftermath of a domestic disturbance in miami
which ended with one man being stabbed to death and a woman covered in blood
and the footage obtained by tmz nobody ever stops to say how tmz got such important footage
you see the woman in sweatpants and a bra handcuffed and soaked in blood as she sits
on the floor of a luxury apartment talking to police alex do you want to scroll you want to
just thanks cops responded sunday to a call about
domestic violence when they got there they said they found a 27 year old man with an apparent
knife wound who was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead uh police say the man
i won't pronounce his name uh and the woman in the video were involved in a physical confrontation
that turned deadly i'm looking for what the cops, what happened when they arrested her.
Cops are not released.
My story,
the last story I heard,
this was yesterday.
She never got arrested,
but they put some type of clause on her.
They put a clause on her.
Don't flee type of thing.
Not a don't flee.
They categorized her as something that provided her with a different treatment than that of a usual murder suspect.
I didn't hear that part.
This is just nuts regardless.
It's not based on a psychiatric hold.
Due to how they labeled her, whatever this label is that i'm not remembering it says as for
why courtney wasn't arrested we're told that she was taken to the police department in question
and reportedly threatened to kill herself and the police department placed her on a psychiatric hold
okay so arrest her ass and still take her to the hospital i don't rest her ass and take her to the
psychiatric ward in the jail i don't want to see white women killing their black boyfriends
and I also don't want to see
black women championing
the death of a black man.
Can I not want to see
either of those?
Absolutely.
Because I don't.
Absolutely.
I don't want to champion
the death of anybody.
That's not funny.
It's not cool.
It's not funny.
And I know the internet
don't care.
The internet just be saying
shit in passing but people have families mothers fathers brothers kids i wouldn't even want to see
a stranger speak about my loved one that way even if you have a problem with him and how he chose to
live his life you mean you want to have some type of respect for the family i would think but nobody
thinks about those things when we're just typing things on the internet no no not at all nobody
cares about any type of feelings look at julia fox chiming right in it sounds like self-defense
thanks julia thanks a lot where'd that sound come from gotta be careful gotta be careful who you
give a microphone to that's true i'll keep telling'all, we have heard entirely too much from Julia Fox.
You need to shut the fuck up.
I've never heard this much from her before.
I've never heard of her.
Yeah, word.
I watched that Adam Sandler movie.
She came out of nowhere.
I didn't know that was her.
That who?
The Adam Sandler movie.
What movie is that?
The one I didn't like.
Huh?
Uncut Gems.
Uncut Gems.
Yeah.
I just, I'm not a fan of the, I know y'all just said it, Huh? Uncut Gems. Uncut Gems. Yeah. Yeah.
I just, I'm not a fan of the, I know y'all just said it, but just the way it's, oh, this is what he said?
Oh, well then, all right, cool, good for him then.
I just don't like that part.
Yeah, that's right.
You know what my problem with cancel culture is?
Like, why haven't they found the dark web yet?
Like, it seemed like that's where their powers would be
put to real good use it seemed like they on the regular internet watching just looking to pick up
shit and cancel people like if they just put their energy together and find the dark web i feel like
they'll have a lot of cases to unpack cancel them there human trafficking rapists selling body parts
brains it's not it's not being seen
i'm about to say there's no attention in that there's no attention there that's what it is
baker acted is the term she was baker acted and the baker act is a florida law that enables
families and loved ones to provide emergency mental health services and temporary detention for people who are impaired because of their mental illness and who are unable to determine
their needs for treatment the act was named after maxine baker former miami state representative who
sponsored the act in 1972 people who require the use of the baker act have often lost the power of
self-control and they are likely to inflict harm to themselves or others. I'm not reading the rest of this.
This young lady
shouldn't have been Baker active.
No, this is the foundation
for the temporary insanity play.
That's it right there.
They digging the foundation
right now about the later Britain.
That's what that is.
I could already,
I don't even want to say it.
I could see it.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at.
That's what I was going. They got the stand your ground shit. They have all that. I could already I don't even want to say it I could see it that's what I was getting that's what I was going
they got the stand your ground shit
they have all that
you can already see it
if they find a way
for the stand your ground shit
to work when dude was asleep
I'll be amazed
that's the only thing
they're going to have to prove
he was asleep
they said it was a domestic violence
yeah it says a physical
they said it was a dispute already
an altercation occurred
so now
if only she
and he
are in the house
they can Trayvonin this case because nobody is there
present to go against her word which leaves a reasonable doubt and she walks free the coroner
and a few other people should be able to tell determine if he was sleeping up yes now i wonder
if they'll get into whatever domestic dispute happened the night before and what it did to
her mental state so it don't matter that he went to sleep.
She's free.
Unfortunately.
That's kind of what I see too.
They were involved in a physical
confrontation that turned deadly.
Free. Yep. Florida?
Free. All day.
And I'm not even making that racy.
I'm just saying. No, no, no. It's Florida.
That's what Florida does.
I was going to jump in and say,
I don't know why anybody would move to Florida,
but I've said every month this year
that I'm getting a place in Florida
for tax purposes.
And the other place that gives you some relief
is Texas.
Texas.
Look at that.
Right.
Some tells me
that's not coinkity.
I'm just not smart enough
to know why.
I don't know either.
We can move on.
There's some reasoning in there.
Yeah, I don't know it.
It might be.
I just don't.
I can't.
Don't seem like a coincidence.
That's all.
What else?
We can talk about that girl getting cheated on on Patreon.
You want to do part of the show?
Yeah, let's go.
They loved our last one.
It's been fun.
It has been.
And if we could pick somebody else with a fat...
I did.
That was by mistake.
Fat idea.
That's what I'd be wanting Parks to do instead of trying to sabotage me so his seniority can take over.
All right, let's see.
All right, we got Thomas.
And Thomas says,
My son's mother, whom I've been separated from for about seven years now, got into a serious relationship.
And now she's switching up her energy towards me as if I did something wrong.
We've always maintained great communication, a friendship, a closeness that some people don't understand because our relationship ended in divorce.
But we always been good. We have about a 64. We have about 60, 40 custody.
I pay for everything regarding my son and a lot that isn't for her.
But this new dude comes around and now she's using terms like per our custody agreement and can we talk via text.
Don't come to the door.
So question, should I tell her to tell her man to grow up and press her about the unnecessary energy shift to our system
or should I just leave it alone
and reciprocate this new energy
option one for me
option two for me
yo
they haven't been together for seven years
so he's clearly saying
yo she's moved on I've moved on
and you my nigga and we mad cool
and we mad fly and we raising a son
when you fuck up
that dynamic
number one
it's gonna fuck up
our relationship
and
the odds are
the kids gonna see it
and it's gonna fuck up
they coolness
like I know
mad relationships
the baby mother
baby father come in
get something to drink
they borrow money
from each other
they tease each other
I've dated a girl in college where she had two sets of parents basically you know i'm saying
like her mother moved on her father moved on and everybody would be at the cookouts and all of that
shit collectively i think that was dope like it fucked me up when i first saw that um i think
that the kid is the beneficiary of your mother's dope new relationship and the new nigga
is mad and secure.
That is all about
the new nigga
if she wasn't doing that before.
100%.
That's all about him.
And I think that's corny
that you would take that stance.
I'm not fucking your chick.
We mad fly.
We have a kid in common,
my nigga.
Grow the fuck up.
Ice.
I agree with everything you said.
I think that it's the
baby mother's position to say that to him, not yours. I agree, but sometimes said. I think that it's the baby mother's position
to say that to him, not yours.
I agree, but sometimes you might need to know.
She might not even notice what she doing.
I'm answering his question.
He texts back and said,
please tell me this is the JVP.
Yo, this brother needs us, yo.
Yo, you lying.
I'm dead ass.
What'd your initial text say?
I'm just curious.
Is this Thomas
and he
yeah he was ready
nah he is
he's ready
look he's still typing
I got clouds
nah just call him dog
yeah I'ma just call
T-Money
just call T
this brother needs us
yeah T needs some help
yeah let's hit up
little T
my nigga T-Money
yeah we can't call him
big T
he going through it
hello
yo Thomas
we here for you, dog.
Hey!
Damn, even your happiness sounds fraudulent.
We got you, King.
Thomas, this is a triggering question that you're asking.
How old are you?
I'm 35.
Ish, you want to tell them where you were going and then Ice can pick up? Thomas, what's going on? I'm 35 Ish you wanna tell him
Where you were going
And then Ice can pick up
Thomas what's going on
Ish I be DMing you man
You be responding all the time
Man I fuck with you for that
Man I appreciate you
You don't have a vagina
Oh he does reply
Oh he does reply
Oh got it
No he doesn't
Yo you ignorant my nigga
Something wrong with this guy
Yo
I'm going with option one.
I think you need to sit down with your baby mother
and have a real conversation.
Like, yo, our relationship for the last seven years
has been A-OK.
You're going to allow this new entity
to come into our relationship
and potentially fuck it up for us and the kid.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I think your dude is insecure.
Thomas, I need you to tell the truth, though. When the last know what I'm saying? Like, I think your dude is insecure. Thomas, I need you to tell
the truth, though.
When the last time you hit that thing?
Don't lie.
I'll be a thousand honest.
We separated in 2015.
We messed around maybe, like,
twice. When is the
last time?
No, in the first year.
She's in a relationship. What are y'all doing?
No, honestly, we haven't done anything.
We've been nothing but great friends.
We've been mad cool.
We had an understanding that even though the relationship ended,
let's keep the love that we shared in creating this child together
so that we can raise this child in the same manner as if we were still together.
That's amazing.
You are blessed.
Let's not let the child suffer because of that. That's that that's a blessing and we kept that going and where her
her mindset is she's like you know because we got married really young so once we got divorced she
was like okay i want to you know and we we divorced separate you know amicably but it was like she
wanted to live young wild and free so she didn't really get into a relationship right away so like
i explained to her is that you're experiencing things that i
experienced already getting a new relationship serious relationship the person doesn't like how
cool we are they put the little you know they'll put roadblocks up i don't like her i don't like
the way they're doing this blah blah blah but now that she's going through it and it's later stage
we feel the effects of it now but why does why does she have to handle it the way you did
because she's the one the main one champion.
The idea like, hey, if you get with a woman, she needs to be mature enough to handle our relationship.
She needs to be mature enough to understand that you pull up sometimes.
Thomas, that doesn't matter.
That does matter.
No, it don't.
It matters not.
That does not matter.
Why doesn't it matter?
I hate when y'all say that.
If she's dictating it when it's me on the opposite side,
why does it not matter?
She gets back to me the same way.
Because she's still, that's a human thing.
She still don't have to subscribe to what she's telling you
is the right thing and what you would like to happen.
It's different when you're on the other side.
What's the difference in co-parenting?
That's co-parenting.
I hate when y'all do that.
It's us coming to an understanding that we,
you're suggesting things that I'm suggesting things and we kind of understanding if you're championing an idea
it should apply to you no don't always work like that yeah you champion the idea that you want to
apply to you that don't mean i'm gonna stay in that boat humans put so much stock in words
that don't mean that so here you are now unfortunately this is my opinion these
brothers can share afterward the cope your co-part in this is to work through this that's why i know you're not going to want
to hear that but who she is when while she's with this partner may not be the same as who she is
when she's with the next partner might not be who she is when she was with this other partner and it's your job as the dad
to just work through all of it yep hey if the energy shifted guess what that's the new energy
until it shifts again yes and no no hell no not yes and no hell no because if you if you take
that idea that means i have to sit back and let her switch up and I gotta acclimate to every time you change
with a new nigga
a child more than anybody
can pick up on energy
a child more than anybody can pick up energy
if our child is used to
seeing us walk up to each other and seeing a certain
interaction but now it's not on that
they're gonna pick up on that energy
wait no no no
you're saying a bunch of shit that don't matter that's great on that, they're going to pick up on that energy. Thomas, wait, no, no, no. But wait, you're saying a bunch of shit that don't matter.
That's great that that happened.
If your ex
decides to change that, then
your child now gets used to new energy.
So I understand what you're saying.
You got to communicate it. As men, we're going to communicate
it. Yo, why are you doing that? You don't have to do that.
It didn't used to be like that. Like, I know you got
a man. You're going to say whatever you say, but
whatever is happening, that's what's't used to be like that. I know you got a man. You got to say whatever you say. But whatever is happening,
that's what's happening still.
You changing it.
Hold on.
You pivoted.
You pivoted. Yeah, that is what's going on.
He don't have to adjust to
that because that means every single
time any new nigga that she meets,
Thomas, let me ask you another question.
How long has she been in this relationship?
I'm going to guess just based off what i don't know he don't know is the answer he says he don't know he answered but he does not know he's got thomas hold up for a second
he does not know he's guessing and earlier i'm just throwing this and you could talk
earlier he said we divorced and she wasn't in no relationship
i went through this he's experiencing a new her go ahead i'm gonna address two things one yeah
he's experiencing a new her you gave me a set of rules when the shoes were on my feet to follow
no you're crazy you don niggas is crazy.
You niggas don't work like that.
Bruh, and y'all be giving them the fucking out.
Y'all give them the out.
What's the option?
What option?
Hold up.
What option do you have?
I got one.
Tell Shorty, I was about to call out her name, pardon me, tell her to tell her dude to grow
the fuck up for the betterment of our kid.
That's a joke.
For the betterment of our child.
So you are putting this man's needs
before your kid hey fam guess what you are putting this man's needs and this man's insecurities
before the betterment of your child you better find it you bet i know i know you agree but that's
why you sitting there feeling like that you better find a different route you better find a different
approach it sound like she's serious about him seriousious enough to make changes No, no, no Well, he dumps on her motherfucking head
And now she tell you
Come in and get some juice
No
Don't
I don't know what he's talking about
Yo, dog, listen
Most relationships only last a year
Joe, I'm pretty sure
You might have had this experience
When a new entity comes along
I've gone through this
And now you're putting ideas in your head
That are fucking up
How we've done things
For seven fucking years
That's true
He's all right
It's new
Welcome to the game Look at the words she's using now we can communicate via thomas thomas thomas thomas
thomas you talking to somebody who my kid was calling somebody else daddy against my will
i've been through this 90 million times it don't go like you saying it just don't go like you saying disagree if you if
you don't have to for seven years that's true and that's the difference of a straight foundation
the seven years meant nothing it don't matter better than anybody before and now it's in your
head about some shit fam and now you're like oh maybe because i don't know you know what happens
is because i don't want to fight with you. I'm a who's the easiest target.
Who's the easiest to remove the fucking baby daddy?
I don't want to this relationship, whatever, because I'm invested in this right now.
But the baby daddy, guess what?
We can I can fuck that relationship over because Thomas has always been consistent.
Guess what?
Even if the relationship ends, I can always come back and switch up on him again.
He's right.
He's wrong.
He's right.
She is treating him
like he is disposable.
And so what he's saying is,
yo, the second that she breaks up
with this nigga,
now you're going to put your cool
let's go play in the sandbox again.
So don't allow it.
Get the fuck out of here.
So don't allow it.
He has to do that
for the betterment of his kid.
You want your child to see
the two co-parents getting along in a very, very, very ish.
That don't always happen.
And if she do flip that, if she do flip that, they break up and she try to cool shit again.
You keep to know per agreement.
Sam, what you are saying is literal.
You're saying something in a literal and theoretical sense.
You're not going to be at odds with your baby mother to prove a fucking point.
I'm not saying be at odds.
And get back at her.
That is what you are saying.
No, it's not what I'm saying.
You're saying, yo, you picked violence.
So now you ain't homeboying no more.
I'm going to keep it violent.
You're not going to do that because your kid is a witness to the fucking violence.
Who's saying violence?
I have no idea what y'all talking about.
He agreeing.
I know that's the problem.
That's the problem.
Why do I got to switch up because you switch up?
When you, we made a, and so now my son
has to see a different version of me just to try to match
your energy? No. Why does your son
have to, why does your, wait, wait, wait,
I'm the deadbeat. Why does your son have to,
I'm the asshole. Because his son is accustomed to
the mother and the father getting along,
having a rapport, and being
cool as hell. He asked the question.
Joe says, why does the son have to switch up?
The son is accustomed for seven years.
No, I said, why does he have to switch up?
I wasn't talking about the son.
Let me ask you a question.
That lady is forcing him to change the way that they've done things.
She's not forcing shit.
She has a man.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, Joe.
She has a man.
You can't be cool because you got a man?
Maybe not.
Ish.
Maybe not.
And that's corny.
Ish.
That's how it goes.
Let me ask you a question real quick.
That means you got to accept it.
Hold on.
You don't have a choice but to accept it.
But my thing is, he asked what option should he pick.
And my option was, I think you should tell your baby mom.
That wasn't an option.
Yes, it was.
That was number one.
That's what you should holler at the dude.
No, he didn't say that.
Listen, let me ask you a question. He did not say that. Yes, it was. That was number one. It wasn't an option. He hollered the dude. No, he didn't say that. Listen, let me ask you.
He did not say that.
Guys, guys, this is a broadcast.
He did not say holler the dude.
He said, should I speak to her?
I just want to ask you one question, Ish.
I did not say that.
One second.
I just want to ask a question.
How old was the child when y'all divorced?
Three.
Two.
Guess what?
That child learned new routine at that point.
Yeah. It might have been accustomed to new routine at that point.
It might have been accustomed to something up to that point. Let me throw a curveball at you.
I'm going to throw a curveball at you.
Y'all have to stop speaking old routine.
My son is on the autism spectrum.
My son is on the autism spectrum, right?
So we have a special dealing with each other that's going to surpass 18 years of dealing with each other.
So he picks up on our energy better than anybody on
this planet he understands he understands the routine he understands the rapport he understands
all that in a sec you come flip this shit up his whole everything switches up she's not she is
selfish as hell for trying to switch up on us because it's a new entity in her life but what
i'm saying is all that may be true the child adapted y'all split the child was used to both
parents living in the household till y'all divorced and it was an adaptation it was two same energy what i'm
saying to you thomas is that there will be plenty of instances where you think one thing and she
thinks another none of that can change how you show up to parent your son it can't you have to be the same amazing dad whether
she got a boyfriend she loved got a boyfriend that she might not love hey she's playing the
dating field it's a few niggas she like she's gonna go through different versions of herself
and she should be allowed that space especially as someone that waited this amount of time dealing
with a special needs child
to get to her bag which is now you're contradicting yourself you're contradicting yourself because a
few pods ago you said that we're all family and we should be able to sit down and have conversations
you said that joe you said that i should be able to come to my baby mom and have a conversation
because we're family and that nigga is family too. So guess what? Since we all family, let me tell y'all about yourselves.
Thomas, my argument right now is conducive to him being family.
I'm not saying to treat him away or get her to look at him away.
I'm saying this guy has a fixture.
He has a place now.
And you're feeling the effects of that.
I'm telling you, like like family you have to find
a way around
that
I'm saying
to change your approach
I'm not going against
what I said
the guy's there now
the guy's there
yo hey Thomas
guess what
I know when my baby moms
is dating somebody
she liking when she don't
she don't have to say
nothing to me
what the fuck
that you not dealing
with something that
men don't go through
the conversation gets shorter maybe we don't go grab a bike and talk about maybe we
talk more about the kid like it feels different you know that and men have to deal with that what
which option should he pick one or two that was his question i went with option number one you
should have a conversation with your baby mother and tell her to chill the fuck out and tell this insecure ass nigga to man up.
Put your fucking corny feelings to the side and worry about my kid instead of worrying about if I'm a poppy a chick.
That's option one.
That's option one.
That's Isha's option that I'm picking.
Joe agrees with option one.
I just think that you need to change your approach.
What approach? He's asking option one. I just think that you need to change your approach. What approach?
He's asking which one.
You can't come to her and say, yo, tell that nigga grow the fuck up, man up.
I'm the dad.
I'm here.
He fucking up our group.
You can't do that.
He's family.
He don't got to say it with that much aggressiveness.
But if he was family and being treated as such, then the new boyfriend, if he's family,
should have some empathy for the fucking child's father.
And he's not family.
And you're not family.
I agree with Ish when he said that back in the old party.
Like, I don't, that's not family.
Because he can switch and change up at any moment.
So he can come in like a thief in the night, switch up the whole shit and bounce.
That ain't family.
Fam.
He don't owe you shit.
I don't think that nigga's family.
He don't owe you shit.
He ain't family.
The baby, I mean, the new dude owes you nothing.
You know why you're not family?
You know why you're not family?
Because when I'm not around, I'm pretty sure that you dabbing my son up.
I'm pretty sure you hugging him.
But when I'm around, you don't even touch him. You don't even say bye to him. That's an awkward situation. You're not family? Because when I'm not around, I'm pretty sure that you dabbing my son up. I'm pretty sure you're hugging him. But when I'm around, you don't even touch him.
You don't even say bye to him.
That's an awkward situation.
You put you up because I'm around.
You ain't family.
No, that's an awkward situation.
What I'm saying is this.
What I'm saying is that dude don't owe you shit.
Be clear.
He don't owe you a motherfucking thing, in my opinion.
Who owes you something is your kid's mother.
Correct.
Your kid's mother owes you a certain level of respect
and owes you a certain level of grace.
So if you and I had a conversation,
of a rapport before where...
I'm so low.
You think they owe you that?
Joe, we know your definition of owing somebody something.
It's different than most.
They owe you.
Because even if your child is in the best mood,
that's a mutual... Two businesses came
together to try to create another business.
You owe me your part of...
Y'all can use that O word all you want.
It's plenty of baby moms running
around that have zero respect for the dad. I totally
agree with that and vice versa. And guess what? The state
says that they owe you a certain amount of money because you
don't want to be out of it. You can have the respect. Now, the state
backs that by saying the dad owes that
much money.
You need some therapy.
You get into a situation
with somebody you owe.
You owe what you guys
are both planning.
What I'm saying is this.
The most important thing for you
is to be the best dad
to your kid.
You're going to have to
navigate the circumstances.
You asked what our opinion was
on how you should navigate it.
I gave you what my opinion was
on how you should navigate the circumstances.
And I agree with you, man.
I agree with you.
I think that I shouldn't have to just sit back and watch you switch up.
Because if I do, it sets a precedent.
You're coming.
You're coming.
Yo, you're saying you agree with this.
Joe's saying the same thing, but you're coming in wrong.
You're coming in with the – you don't lay the groundwork.
You don't lay the precedent.
You don't run under that.
You don't run nothing.
Nothing.
You need to humble yourself
you need to
you have to
humble yourself
Thomas
make sure they're this
if you deal with anybody
make sure they're this
this is the rules
the lady said
this is the rules
we're gonna play by
it don't matter what you said
how many times
has a girl said something
to you and changed up
so let me tell you something
so let me ask you this
a nigga's word in the world
don't matter
they can change their word
whenever they feel like it right and you gotta acclimate to in the world Don't matter They can change their word Whenever they feel like it
Right
And you gotta acclimate
To what the fuck they said
That's not gender specific
So I say I'ma come here
So I can say
Yo
I come here two days a week
And I work for the Joe Button Podcast
And whenever the fuck
I feel like changing up
I don't just gotta show up
And you don't have the reason
To be mad about it then
You could be mad
You can always get mad
I know I am
I know I am
Yo when your word says
something your word means something if his baby mom's laid down i know his baby mother and in
theory and in practicality your words should mean something should but if they don't now what are
you that's what i'm saying he has to navigate and he asked us what's the best way for him to do and
it's not to hit her and say yo set, set that nigga straight. I'm laying the groundwork, and you're changing the dynamics.
Who the fuck are you?
All right, cool.
You can't do that.
I'm the nigga who complied to your request to the same thing.
This is how niggas end up not seeing a kid.
I know.
This is how niggas end up not seeing a kid.
You're right.
100%.
Right there.
This is how it happens.
Because then she'll say, all right, fuck it.
You're right.
Then they say, yo, hey, you know what?
You causing me duress.
You causing me stress.
Too many complaints
about the hell.
I'm running shit over here.
You doing too much.
You worry about over there?
Yeah.
I'm off.
See,
ain't nobody going to
take my kid away.
Yo, good luck, bro.
I'm not saying nothing else about it.
Of course, I'm in my disposal.
And I'm in my son's life,
so you can't fight that fight with me.
So that's why I'm coming to you
as family and says,
hey, I see something disrupting you. It could be almost be almost anything and if it's i don't care what it
is i'm gonna still come at you the same way like yo what is what is changing you up because this
time it may be a dude the next thing it could be a friend after that could be drugs no no no you
know what could be it could be a dude a new nigga every nine months and that would be on her as the
ex you are divorced you have no say in how she lives her life all you got to do
is continue to be dead and you keep coming to her talking about shit that ain't dad shit
nah i know i know it's a tough one it's a tough one that's the luck man thomas especially we're
praying for you we hope your situation gets better All the love in the world to your child.
And salute to homeboy.
I know you don't think he family, but you got to find a way to be amicable somehow.
You got to deal with him.
One love, Thomas.
Peace, Thomas.
I appreciate you guys.

Mrs. Bible Off the Dash
Hey
Shout out to Gunplay
I took the Bible off the dash and kept it going Never gave up, asked God to show me something
I keep my head up, I can see above water
I never gave up, I was taught to be a soldier
Sometimes I just won't fly away
They hate me and they won't clip my wings
I love me and I won't ever change
They never ever feel a nigga pain
Ran out of hope so I bought me some dope
Ran out of patience replaced to a hatred
Look at what you made me, you made me the GOAT
Now look at what you made, ain't these words from a dark place
Black heart and blood that run cold They never counted me, they count me out
Count on them OGs gave me the game of how to score on the
route One of them known as Senses, I was scheming
from the benches I'm from with violence, another form of self
expression Just another bell jumper with a jail number Doing cocaine rails just to feel something Instead of judging me on how I feel, I'm from with violence, another form of self-expression Just another bell jumper with a jail number
Doing cocaine rails just to feel something
Instead of judging me on habits, won't you plug me with the pastor
Instead of selling me fish, show me how to bake the hook and cast it
Sometimes I just won't fly away
They hate me and they won't clip my wing
Resilient and brilliant, I stay the same
Nigga, ain't no give a fuck about your pain
I took the Bible off the dash and kept it going
Never gave up, ask God to show me some
I keep my head up
I can see above water
I never gave up
I was taught to be a soldier
Sometimes I just wanna fly away
They hate me and they wanna clip my wings
I love me and I won't ever change
They never ever feel a nigga pain
I be wantin' y'all to feel my pain
Feelin' like ballin' high rain
Lately I been been going through things
But I can see above water
And I've been on this road before
I ain't going back no more
Sometimes I gotta ask myself
Sometimes I gotta ask
Is this worth dying for?
I pray you meet me at the crossroads
I got the world upon my shoulder
I carry the load, yeah
I keep the glizzy on top, nigga wanna see what's up
I'ma show em how I hurt, nigga name, blah blah
I got a hundred in this drum, call that shit that's in the bun
Show em that we on point with the end
I ain't got nothin' to lose anymore
I took the Bible off the dash, I took the Bible off the dash You can't be Bible off the dash and kept it on
Never gave up, asked God to show me some
I keep my head up, I can see above water
I never gave up, I was taught to be a soldier
Sometimes I just won't fly away They hate me and they won't clip my wings
I love me and I won't ever change They never ever say I need change
That's Bible Off The Dash by Gunplay.

Shout out to Don Logan.
I was going to play a couple different things.
You're going to get one.
Destin Conrad's song is called Unpredictable.
All right, with Keanu LeDae. All right. See what you bear You make the room spin around
I knew that I didn't know a thing
And that drew me in Can we do it again, baby?
Your eyes cut me right away You're so cold with everything that you say, babe
Sometimes I can't even relate babe
But with him I knew what he was gonna say And that shit didn't hit the same
And it good to me it's such a shame And there's really no one else to blame To blame how things fall off his tongue I miss the feeling of new memories
I miss the feeling of waking up to something unpredictable Unpredictable, unpredictable
Unpredictable, no
I like to guess if you'll be there when I wake up
Don't care if you leave as long as you show up
I like that you make me second guess it
We're confused and sin and miss
I'm a question mark on my sentences, yeah
You don't let consistency
And he always gon' be the same
And you know I love a toxic trade
I still
Miss the feeling of a new memory I miss the feeling of a new memory
I missed the feeling of waking up to something unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable Unpredictable
I live around the corner
What you mean? You don't wanna
Feel like call my car
Oh baby, far as spares out
I've never been the type to get crazy
Made me act up
But you brought it out of me
Don't be mad now
Miss the feeling of A new memory Made me act up You brought it out of me Don't be mad now
Missed the feeling of
New memories
Mmm

Waking up to something
