gotta mask the hate differently right I come on here and I be thinking that we could just freely give off a little bit of joking hate.
I'm not knowing that you niggas be seriously hating.
I meant to bring it up the other day.
Because I was outside.
I seen what y'all did to Odell Beckham when all the girls wanted to fuck him.

What they did.
Oh, please.
They put everything in the world on Odell.
They called him a ch**.
Chill. I got one thing.
Thank you.
They said, is he a guy?
Is he a girl?
Is he bi?
Does he have herpes?
Oh, he only likes white girls.
Everything you could possibly put on a man,
they put on Odell.
Odell, I'm sorry.
It's true.
But they did that.
Who do you think did that?
Men, you hate hateful hateful men

to be a safe space
leader

Yo dog
Yo I see you
Yo I see you
They don't really be saying

Because they happy to see you
You think people are happy for you
Sometimes
It depends on who it is
It depends on the person
Yeah
It does depend on the person
Yo I hate this side of the room
Oh man
Whatever
Do y'all know I hate this side of the room
Whatever
You probably do.
I don't know.
No shit, it depends on the person.
So I don't know.
If certain niggas say it, I think they'd be genuine.
They may, they may not be.
I don't know.
All right, but that means that you know the other side of the coin.
And that's my problem with y'all.
It's a possibility.
And in this conversation, I'm talking about the other side of the coin.
Y'all two especially, and y'all are full of shit.
I don't
like to walk around viewing that everyone with the intention of everybody hating me but you you
know some of that some of it is you can tell certain people you can tell and you know it'd
be a vibe and you know why men are corny because men know who they're like cold haters you know
some of these people we're just playing it cool. Nah, I know that, but I don't,
I don't,
I don't chop it up with them.
Come on, let's go.
Yeah, Scooby, yo.
I don't chop it up with them.
Yo, when I get rest and sex,
I can't get to it.
Yeah, but y'all know
what I'm saying.
Yeah, but I don't
bother with the business.
go through the,
you can't ascend
the way that Parks has ascended
in X amount of years.
I know this.
This is not specific to person,
right? You can't just, I'm aware that there's you can't just the way that Parks has ascended in X amount of years. I know this. This is not specific to person, right?
You can't just-
I'm aware that there's haters.
You can't just 5X out of the clear blue sky and nothing about, no area of your life changed.
I don't like to walk around thinking that everyone that gives me a compliment is hating
because those people are miserable motherfuckers too.
You understand what I'm saying?
But you're in a-
You become a hater yourself when you think
that everyone's hating on you almost i wasn't saying everybody i'm just saying you know yeah
not everybody i can i can have three people i can have three people salute me or whatever
and based on the person and how that salute goes i know who hated oh yeah that's all we
saying i'm not saying walking around assuming anything. When you get it from a certain person, you know it's...
Word?
Absolutely.
Ish.
It's terrible.
Ish.
Not today, yo.
I'm just saying that's terrible.
I don't...
That's...
You must just say no.
You definitely have to have accepted it.
It's a possibility.
I just don't take it as that.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just don't.
Man, I'm just here to salute my guys on their new endeavors.
Yeah.
I'll take a nice, sincere salute. Yeah. I'll take a to salute my guys on their new endeavors. I'll take a nice sincere salute.
I'll take a sincere salute
from my guy.
I speak to this guy
via text,
phone call,
maybe even email.
Sometimes, who knows
if it's important, right?
I have a rapport with this guy,
work with this guy, right?
It's not odd for him to fucking say,
hey, man, good job, you were nice.
Some of you other niggas, man.
You know what I mean?
We not in a space for me to receive that.
You know what I mean?
Nah, son, you can't describe it.
Just being in the space
to have a nigga just say,
it's like the girl
that hit you on your birthday
to say happy birthday
or the girl that hit you
on Christmas
while she know you
laying in bed
with your girl on Christmas
and she don't talk to you
didn't spoke to you
in three years
now all of a sudden
it's merry Christmas
bitch
keep that
you can just
spiritually send that
you can just put that
in the universe
you can pray that
yeah you can pray that
that's not our relationship today
That's just getting with
Boundaries
And
Healthy shit like that
If that ain't our relationship
It ain't the relationship
Ish
To that you say
Yo dog
Why do you direct it to me
I don't wanna be
Anti today
I don't wanna play
Tug of war
But wait when I throw it to you
It's not for you to be anti
It's for you to just
Create dialogue with me No you read my face I don't agree with that tug of war. But wait, when I throw it to you, it's not for you to be anti. It's for you to just create dialogue with me.
No, you read my face.
I don't agree with that.
I think that somebody, if you're not necessarily coming from a negative space just to say,
yo, Merry Christmas.
Happy birthday.
Yo, I knew your birthday was XYZ day.
I haven't spoken to you in months, but I can still say happy birthday.
Or you could be laying in the bed with your wife and I'm saying Merry Christmas.
Some people do use that as a springboard, though.
But if we don't talk like that at all.
Some people use that as a springboard.
Some people use that as a springboard to then like the next day be like, oh, yo, by the way.
But that's adding something.
I'm talking about just a minute at a time.
I've never gotten a Merry Christmas text from you.
Nor will you.
You my man.
So then what the fuck are you talking about, right?
And that's what I don't get about that pod shit.
If you love somebody, then you should really let them know every day of your life.
What are you saying?
Here come the goalposts moving.
You said, fam, you are sitting in the bed with your girl.
That's what you said.
I'm commenting on that.
That was just me.
That's what I'm commenting on.
That was just expert podding.
No, I'm commenting on that piece.
I'm saying, yo, I'll send out happy Mother's Day texts to people.
You might just scroll through your phone.
This person got a kid.
I ain't trying to fuck you no more.
So I got to have a vagina to get a birthday text from you.
No, he didn't say that.
Let me ask you a question.
What?
You just told me I don't get a birthday text because I'm a man.
No, I didn't say that.
You said, yo, you've never said Merry Christmas to me.
And I said, yeah, I'm not going to say Merry Christmas.
But why not? You love me. You're my man. And you love me. You don't necessarily say that. You said, yo, you've never said Merry Christmas to me. And I said, yeah, I'm not going to say Merry Christmas. Well, why not?
You love me.
You're my man.
And you love me.
Dudes don't necessarily do that.
Yeah, I do love you.
Niggas ain't sending they man a Merry Christmas text.
You do that?
Yeah, sometimes.
It's not a long list of people.
I crack you with this phone.
Yo, stop your fuckery.
You're sending other men Merry Christmas texts?
And the eyes.
Yes.
Yes.
That is how I communicate.
You're lying.
You are lying. Why am I lying? Has any man in here ever got a Merry Christmas from Joe? I. That is how I communicate. You are lying.
Why am I lying?
Has any man in here
ever got a Merry Christmas
from Joe?
I know Joe lying.
I know he's fucking lying.
Yeah.
Mr. My guy.
Yo, Mike.
Mike.
Mike.
I know Joe is.
I'm going to celebrate
Christmas with a white man.
That's why we celebrate
the day.
That's why we fucking
hit parks to send
Merry Christmas to you.
No.
No.
That's why we celebrating
a tree now.
No.
Might have sent it back.
Yo, I know Joe Bullshit.
He's Jewish.
And Parks knows this
to be true too.
And somebody knocking on the door
because y'all loud.
Parks knows this to be true too.
Y'all ghetto asses.
The old group chat.
The old shit.
Yeah, yeah.
If somebody came in there
and said happy any holiday,
what happens next?
Fuck your whatever.
Roy's roasting them.

So I know we ain't doing that.
Get your bitch ass out of here.
Ain't nobody wanting happy.
Do y'all want grown,
mature Joe today?
No.
No.
All right,
then I'm going to let y'all
get this horrible group chat
point off
because we could do a doc
on where that group chat
landed which supports my theory
that when you let these toxic
things exist you get toxic
results nobody in that group chat speaks
anymore and maybe because
nigga stop saying
Merry Christmas I love
you you should have been the one to champion
the Merry Christmases everybody in that group chat
hates each other now you know how tough have been the one to champion the Merry Christmas. Everybody in that group chat hates each other now.
Holy shit.
You know how tough it is for me to plan a go-out night?
Hey, oh, he don't speak to him.
Oh, yo, I fuck out.
He want to fight him.
Oh, they want to fight me.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Yo, nah, damn.
Might as well be faithful.
I haven't gone back to think about that group chat in a while.
That shit is-
You can't even go out.
That's kind of crazy.
Ain't even nobody-
Ain't even no niggas to cheat with no more

I've learned
that when the women
get together
and tell you what they think

you gotta roll with it

where
I'm glad I'm married
I see their point

He surely could not.
Yeah.
That dumbass had to take him.
The nigga was sitting in the corner.
You went to the hospital for weed, though?
Weed cookies.
He was sitting in the corner just-
Trying to show off in front of girls.
Trying to show off in front of girls.
I've been there, but I just went to bed.
See, in my instance, I couldn't go to bed.
I had court the next morning
and everybody told me
if you sleep,
you sleep for like days
off the shit.
So I was afraid to go to sleep.
They lied.
And that's what made it worse
because I stayed up.
I was like,
nah, I can't miss court.
Fuck that.
You just got a nice
eight, nine hours.
Look how he wanted
to show up for court.
That's what's just going
to show up to the judge?
No, it was just-
What was the charge, too?
Let me see if you're
a real nigga or not.
I'm not.
My charge was all traffic, baby. Anytime I was in front of the judge, it was just what was the charge too let me see if you're a real nigga or not I'm not my charge was all traffic baby
anytime I was
in front of the judge
it was traffic
but wait the traffic charge
had him breaking down
it was that or
catch a failure to appear
you damn right
I'm inside nigga talking
you was fighting the charge
what you did in traffic
let me
what was it
how he broke
dang
he didn't want to
he didn't want to
miss this
only on the
JVP
this said in the
book 20
it was mandatory
mandatory court appearance
required
you did some
you did some bad
oh so
job was suspended
so they just
put the word
mandatory there
and you feel like
you have to do something
yes it's called law abiding citizens mandatory yeah So they just put the word mandatory there, and you feel like you have to do something. Yes.
It's called law-abiding citizens.
Mandatory.
Yeah, some of us do that.
Mandatory on the traffic.
No.
I'm busy that day.
Now what?
We'll show you.
Evade the law.
Step out the car real quick.
They'll show you on the next stop.
All right, did I get made $150?
Nigga.
They little licensed this.
Oh, I'll give you some points.
The points.
You gonna get points on your, ooh, what's that, the boogeyman?
I mean, kind of, but.
Oh, please.
All for the games.
All right, he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, come on.
Am I running
or did I talk
did I walk it
like I talk it
hold up
did I walk it
like I talk it
both you niggas
been around
did I walk it
like I talk it
I'm tired of y'all
painting me
hold up
shut the fuck up
but I did my bit
I paid my debt
to society
that's the point
don't act like
you just jumped out
but I was a real nigga
I did that
that separates you inside the house,
niggas, from niggas like me.
You break down over the traffic.
I go 10 years without it. Catch me if you
can, nigga. And then they catch your ass.
And then I pay it and do what I gotta do
and get a driver.
Yeah, it's different.
I just wanted to stab you with this phone.
I know.
Wait, so how was this place for you
why
terrible
why
you're lying
fam I walked in there
and they got the
frosted windows
so you can't see shit
from the street
no no
you walk in
they scan your ID
right
let you inside
first question they ask you
medical or recreational
if it's medical
it's a
like an advanced.
No, no, no.
It's just they're the same cashiers up front,
but you get in this line, and ain't nobody in that line.
So you walk straight up.
You're next in line damn near.
Recreational, you go over here, look like the DMV.
Oh, it's crowded.
Oh, no, it was packed.
So I get in line.
Now, there's nothing on display in the store at all
on one wall
it's
it's um
lozenges
lozenges
shit like that
the other wall is merch
hats
t-shirts
that's it
so I notice
everybody's on their phone
so I'm like fuck
so I look
you pull up the menu
oh okay okay
and
to know what you want
by the time you get to the cashier
you tell them what you want they write time you get to the cashier.
You tell them what you want.
They write it down.
They go in the back and get it.
Bring it out.
You pay for it.
You leave.
It was- They had mad different flavors, didn't they?
Because I heard that in Amsterdam, I've never been, but they said they'll tell you this
is XYZ weed and this is the effect that it has.
Yes.
Yes.
So they do all that too.
It's all listed on-
Gotcha.
What side effects or benefits, whatever, what comes with it.
Gotcha.
Everything's broken down, whether you want flour, whether you want vapes.
They got topical ointments.
They had shit you could put in tea.
It's all separated.
It's like weed 101.
Weed tea.
Hey.
So I just wanted to see what, being that it's legal now in Jersey, I just wanted to walk in and know being that it's legal now in Jersey
I just wanted to walk in
and see what that experience
but why
why are you saying
it's so horrible
cause yeah
it don't sound like a bad
well yeah
but any store
that I've walked in
he wants to browse
I could see product
like even if it's behind a glass
display case or something
that's not fair
that's not fair
that's not fair
if I'm a brand new customer
like I was
I don't know anything about
anything
at least give me somebody
that I can talk to
oh see
this is up to the
customer service part
of the store
that's cause you're a rookie
that's the problem
we're going mainstream
nah but no no no
it's the customer service aspect
there is none
well that's probably
just this particular store
I get his point
I get
I know I rolled by one
in Western Jersey and they had to have cops fucking managing the line.
It was so long.
Wow.
But I guess that's the web piece, though.
If you could look online, you could see what it does, see what the effects are, see what the taste is, and keep it pushing.
If the line is that long, they can't talk to any nigga in the line.
I'm just...
You saying this.
It didn't feel like a store.
It didn't feel like I went.
I could have did that at home.
Exact same thing.
The funny thing about the legalization of weed
is we're going to get all the 38-year-olds
that just now became potheads.
And those are funny potheads.
It's going to open the door to a lot of niggas
that thought that they were breaking the law
about smoking weed and introduced them to weed.'s true it is the people that just get into
drugs of any sort like late in life or it's weird it'd be weird because a lot of people law-abiding
citizens they wanted to try it but it was against the law so now they're gonna fuck with it listening
to this i feel like the guy complaining at the united desk about the plane that's about to shoot up in the air and take me X amount of miles away to a destination.
Similar.
That's what it sounds like right now.
And it's different hearing y'all hearing it in this conversation because we've been outside for this, for this.
Right.
for this right like i've been outside not to just tell on myself here but fuck it since the first one started popping up in the places it was legal at like we was in denver yeah when
the first one popped up and it was fly but they had their restrictions that they had to go through
the book and and i was complaining i was like it's not the same complaints but i was like oh
cash only yeah and it's like
yeah they're regulating us different they're putting different laws and restrictions on us
so they kind of explained some of that to me i've been to the ones that don't have any product
shown like that was in like some of the early stages and some are fighting laws and restrictions
there too so it's like when you when you know that people have to
get adjusted to this new this new way it just wasn't what i expected it's a work of progress
yeah that's all right i want to call it horrible because i was able to go
a you said it was explained got it got you know exactly what i went in there looking for whatever
how was it what do you mean the? The ism. The product.
The ism.
The ism. I like them too much.
They get an old 10-minute block on the bar.
Shit.
Well, I ain't seen the name of them or nothing.
Antish.
Oh.
It was all right.
It was all right.
Now, we be kind of entitled, my nigga.
Niggas just have to go buy weed off the street.
Now, you can walk into a spot stand in line
buy some weed
not get a charge
word
we just
that's us
we just
and
I hated that system too
I'm glad it's updated
like that's why
I can't really complain
going to
alright
the best weed
is on the worst corner
yep
the best weed
is on the worst
corner
someone that you don't really fuck with but he's got to kill
right now yeah and no girl you just drive up they used to just make you buy it throw the shit in
your car then i that was the update but that's my point that was the update and that wasn't the
greatest rush your window just throw the shit in the car so I guess hearing that
to get to this
you gotta appreciate
then it was the update where
now your weed guy is a livery
like he's coming
oh shit
full service type of
then it was all these other flavors
being explained differently
now this weed menu
that business to watch the evolution of it and what they
are about to do to it now it's crazy yeah and i see now hearing that it makes me look at it
totally differently because again i never took part in any of those things that you just mentioned
so that was like i said i just wanted to see you can really walk in a store and buy weed.
What if it's hot over here?
What if I got a cop on my ass or a sheriff on my ass that just want to, like, no, there's nothing in here.
And you got a vape.
You ain't got to fuck up with the seeds. This is my old van.
Then we just literally came in a manila envelope with seeds in it.
You got to separate that shit.
You smoking the Acapulco gold?
Yeah, like, yo.
Now they can just go get a pen.
A little $25 pen.
Puff the Magic Dragon all the way home.
I think when I was buying weed,
they might have told that shit
in paper bags, some of them.
The manila ones.
Yeah.
Yeah, the little small gold envelope thingies.
You got to appreciate where it's gone.
I take it back now.
Know what I mean?
All right, well, since I'm taking back.
And New Jersey got to play different than Cali.
Damn, why is that?
For a plethora of reasons.
And I'm not,
this is not weed expert episode.
New Jersey already starts out,
starts out on the negative side of this
because of our land.
True.
So,
the weed over there,
they already on a,
we can't grow it.
We're behind.
I got it.
Yeah, so, I mean, that's one reason.
Two, I guess it gets political.
And it's new.
It gets political.
It's new.
It's a kid I met.
He a huge fan of the pod.
I was at a spot in Scot in scotch plains and he just
gave me a fucking weed education and he was like yo this shit is crazy in new jersey like
most people not gonna make money because they got in too late the political shit around it
you know i'm saying like if you don't have a certain amount of money it's hard for you to
even get bread like they sell in the room oh you get a license yeah they'll give you a license but you still not gonna turn a profit
because you don't have the money to invest like most people don't got seven figures to invest in
the weed industry out here right so you kind of cancel yourself out they'll appease you though
and give you a license for nothing but you know i mean salute to everybody out there getting it
done though yeah true in True In this new blooming
I didn't mean to say new blooming
But it is new
It is
And salute to everybody
Double entendre
Salute to everybody
Who went through all the
I still got it
Steps that y'all were talking about
I'm pretty sure
They're a little relieved
That I could just
Just work
You know
It's a win for everybody
Fam
The fact that you don't get a charge
Is enough
I don't give a charge is enough.
I don't give a fuck you got to stand in line for an hour.
You're not going to jail.
And you can get as high as you want.
Now, if we can just always remember to take our pistol out of the old bag on the plane.
Man, are we going to be so far as a people?
No.
I mean, it to be silly today I'm just telling y'all
y'all have been trying
to serious me out
since before the pod started
I'm here to be silly
and mature though
silly and mature
and with that said
Ice have you fulfilled your
yo if you give me
your side pod money
huh
like they got 20 minutes
they need to pay extra
to
the dispensary
I didn't say the name
of the dispensary
no I didn't
advertise them
but still
I wanna walk
side pod money
that'd be hard
to get your shit off
I gotta walk back
you might have to walk it back too
I don't know if we wanna start
Well start there or not
But that festival over the weekend
Lovers and Friends
Yeah
Yeah I apologize
Apologize about what?
Oh I killed them
We called them
That was gonna be another fire festival
That shit not really happening that way
With all them
Oh yeah that shit went crazy
No that shit was insane
I saw the pictures
I saw a lot of videos
A lot of pictures I read a lot of videos, a lot of pictures.
I read a lot of feedback.
They pulled that off.
They pulled that off two nights in a row.
With top-notch talent.
Yes, they did.
And that's Snoop.
So I just want to, I was wrong.
Salute Snoop and everybody that was involved in that festival
because y'all did an amazing job.
It looked amazing.
Y'all dissed it?
I don't remember.
Yes, we dissed it.
Yes, we dissed it.
I'm telling y'all. I think y'all were just skeptical.
Just making some jokes.
Because it was top-notch names, right?
It was top-notch names,
but niggas were saying,
yo, ain't no way
are they going to get all these shit.
I watched certain people reporting.
I was like, yo,
we weren't the only ones to kill this.
And it was like,
niggas wanted this to fail,
which we kind of did
because I had to came in here.
I told y'all that was some bullshit.
Uh-huh.
So, yeah, I want to have that same energy
See I don't have that in me
Like I joke about I don't want the festival
Personal but if Nick if it would have fell niggas would have came in here with a different energy I took y'all ass out they got fire festivaled again there'd have been
some Ja jokes
he was one of the
performers
Ja Lashanti
killed that shit
but I'm just saying
there would have
been some jokes
waiting for the
Ying Yang twins
and Chingy
and everybody
to get out there
and it would have
been hundreds of
people just sitting
there waiting
like the Fivie
festival
we need more
Fivie festivals
yo when them
white people
didn't have the
right tink
white privilege is so crazy yo wait that ain't the tint we saw yeah
the white people they had a right tint yo they was mad no they was hot it was only so much that
tequila could do i only bought about two hours, go send them over there to stand by the bar until we try to figure this out.
Yeah, that didn't work.
Yeah, I wish I would've went to that festival.
Look, look.
That shit look crazy.
Now, apologize, yo.
Nigga.
You apologize.
I don't remember sharing in that.
Don't remind you.
That agenda, like that wanting them to fail.
No, I'm just saying we came in here very skeptical and told people it wasn't going to happen.
With those names.
I need to see footage of me saying that.
I kind of remember y'all saying that.
Like, because the card was mega stars.
A lot of them niggas was top heavy hitters.
Look, here goes now.
Don't try to abandon your brothers because if you fucked up now this was full of mega stars that shit was dope what i
saw you know and i'm i'm kidding around but i don't remember any of that but i'm glad i'm glad
it was great it's your man glad it was great who's that who's that drill oh come on you know i fuck with all eight members eight members of drill
it's a lot it's a lot it's a lot of apologize for joking it's a lot now you write back at jokes you
gonna find some jokes somewhere i'm just saying it's a lot of people in drew hill now are we
starting with the billboard music award why don't i even ask y'all anymore? Let's get to the Billboard Music Awards
and then Frederick Gibbs.
Right?
That sounds about right, right?
Where's my Doja Cape?
See, I walked...
Oh, duh, I already got it on.
I walked in like this.
What Doja did, man?
Won?
Doja won all our R&B awards
at the Billboard Music Awards.
So the hate
therein lies.
Well, that's the story.
That she's not an R&B act
is the
Twitter take.
So it got people
in an uproar.
Yes.
Well, people being
Summer Walker
who took to her socials
to let us know.
And that's where debate sparked.
Summer felt like she should have.
And let me not put words in her mouth.
She just says, really clean sweep.
All the R&B awards.
Doja Cat.
To that, I understand what she's saying.
Doja Cat is not particularly R&B.
It's some type of hybrid, but...
See, and that's the problem.
Her music is listed under R&B.
What'd you say?
Her music is listed under R&B.
I double-checked.
I went in Apple Music and all that
just to see.
I just was curious where they have her classified.
And she's under R&B slash soul.
All right.
Ice, do you think that Doja Cat is an R&B act?
No, she's a pop act.
Do you think that she is a rapper?
No, she's a pop act.
It gets hard.
It gets hard.
It's all blurred when she gets to the top.
Yeah, but like Tank said, it's kind of hard to differentiate nowadays.
Once you hit the top of that upper echelon, it's blurred.
It's hard to differentiate it at the awards ceremony.
It's very easy.
It's very easy.
The awards.
To differentiate it?
Yeah.
We're here.
We're the differentiators.
Not just that.
Yo, Doja Cat is here.
What you mean?
And that's what it is.
And that's the thing. Let's not make this long. We know what this is. We know what time it is.. What you mean? And that's what it is. And that's the thing.
Let's not make this long.
We know what this is.
We know what time it is.
Who's showing up?
Well, no, this is the billboard shit based on chart.
So it's just literally you can look at the charts and say, oh, yeah, she won because she had the most number ones or whatever.
Got you.
I don't know.
If you're going off of what is said.
I'm going off what I know of major award shows.
Well, I think that's true in most cases.
And I'm starting with Ice,
because even if Parks is right,
which I haven't fact-checked,
but if Parks is right,
so why is there a Billboard Music Awards?
Yeah.
If Parks is right,
I got 10 slaps, top 10.
You got that. You got that. We've been recognized by y'all throughout the whole year. Then why is right, I got 10 slaps. Top 10. You got that.
You got that.
We've been recognized by y'all
throughout the whole year.
Then why is there a war show?
Because of what Ice is saying.
And in that transaction,
the same rules apply.
Who's coming here?
Who's going to perform?
Who's going to sit in these seats?
Who's going to perform?
Who's getting us views?
Hey, you massage me, I'll massage you, man. gonna perform who's gonna sit in these seats who's gonna perform who's getting us views hey
and that
hey
you massage me
I'll massage you man
like
that's just what time it is
and I guess even with
even if they was
strictly chart based
they could still move you around
to whatever chart they want
to benefit the show
so that makes sense
it's their shit
look at the data
that is
so you're telling me
billboard has a hard time
different
like
it's y'all yeah but
once you get but to ice's point once you get to a certain level like y'all damn oh no jackson used
to clean up the awards i like where you at stop stay right there and even stay with michael jackson
because you talk about a certain level michael Michael Jackson was doing that since he was four years old right so it's levels to this I like your point because there's levels
to this it's not just all about music and art that gets us to these levels right it's about
how you shake a hand how you smile how you take a picture what dinner you attend correct what cause did you donate to who's your agent who
is your publicist who is your manager or back who is your lawyer oh your lawyer is this person's
lawyer oh yo your lawyer represents them over there i got this network of people this shit is
a game that's not designed for the public to see right so it's really nothing to argue when you
say the name Doja Cat
because it's going to be
the same names
that win all the awards.
Exactly.
Like when award shows come,
the same names win them
and there's millions of artists
born every day.
So I mean,
that's not by,
that's by design here.
Meg won, I'm sure,
something, right?
Probably so.
See, I didn't watch this,
but I could tell you who won.
I could tell you who was there.
Was Lil Nas X there
shaking ass
no
alright he didn't win
but oh yeah
but he didn't win
he was mad
he didn't win last time
he probably gonna sit down
for the next two years
who else
oh yeah
Mary
I'm glad they gave Mary
her shit
wait look
Mel Arden
nominated
Lil Nas X The Week, Ed Sheeran.
It's the same names.
It's the same look.
Olivia Rodriguez, Doge Caddell.
And somehow they keep getting me to talk about it.
Like when ESPN finds a way to shove the Lakers and the Cowboys in my face for absolutely no reason.
Do you think the Cowboys will win?
What did they say?
Ten and a half.
It's the over or under on ten and a half for the Cowboys.
Like, why do I have to think about that in me?
Like, that's not crazy.
Hey, come on.
Moving on.
Moves the needle, my nigga.
Back to Ice's point, because I don't want Ice making a point that he didn't make, but...
Summer is running around
with her fucking boyfriend
that's what Summer's doing
these awards are happening
and Summer is on her
insta story
critiquing Black China's mom
now I'm not saying
this to be funny
because
you can do whatever
you want to do
on your socials
right
Doja's not Because you can do whatever you want to do on your socials, right?
Doja's not.
Doja's at the dinner somewhere with the agency, with the right team, with the right people, rubbing the right elbows.
That's what's going on.
So when you see things like this, hey, remember when our homeboy won that award that he shouldn't have won?
And he went up there and then y'all killed him.
He tried to offer it back.
And who was that?
The one, Macklemore?
Yeah, Macklemore.
Macklemore was at the dinners.
Macklemore had the high-powered,
my manager also manages fucking Billie Jean.
I'm just making some shit up.
Right?
Like, so there's a lot more that
goes to this i think summer knows that as well but i'm with her she's been phenomenal both times
at the bat both times at the plate she has been at the top of her field in r&b but boy does it
suck now that i have to compete with the swiss army knife over there that's doing r&b but boy does it suck now that i have to compete with the swiss army knife over there
that's doing r&b and a little more yeah and that was also tanks beef sitting here like damn why do
i have to now look at how the migos is putting songs together or how a future's writing the r&b
records now it's like i'm not just competing in my field
these are new age assassins that have been watching the greats and the goats for years
which is why young blue think he could talk to fucking tank like that and he can't and blue's
my man i don't even mean to say young blue because he changed his name no more young blue that's my
guy he's got some shit on the way but you i want to allow the kids a chance to learn and soak, to get their own sauce and feel
how they want to feel.
If he felt like telling Tank that day, hey, nigga, fuck you done lately.
Then, nigga, that's just what it is right now.
It ain't anybody's job to just come correct him.
But this is a consistent message from R&B soul or
like see it's getting tricky
I don't want to say
just R&B
but it's like
R&B
soul
so now that
opens the door
for a larger conversation
that
why does putting the word
soul there
change it
devalue it
or change it
from
what it is
I'm off on a tangent y'all i'm just trying i was i was about to assess the the soul shit
so you say like look at what they give us look at what and that goes i'm not i'm not here to
make it colorist see i'm not but just look at the people at the forefront of r&b and look at the
people that ain't.
There's a million reasons to guess why it is.
So I don't want to be accusatory.
But
there's a theme
of the people that's
ahead of
in the R&B pack.
I'm lost a little bit.
Don't try to make me say it.
No, I'm trying to think of the people that are in the forefront
them
doja
pull up the billboards
oh shit
it's the same
faces
the same
people
and even me trying
I'm trying to not explain this because it's going to make me feel like
I'm saying something that I'm not saying.
I'm not saying these people are ahead
because of this.
I'm not saying that.
But,
it clearly helps.
And so,
it clearly hurts a little bit.
Uncomfortable conversation to have.
I didn't think of that I see it though
but
look
and you think I'm gonna support K-Drill
I'm asking a question
no
it's not for you
you think I was a fucking
gay jerk?
No,
it's real.
I'm done talking
for the next 10 minutes.
Y'all ish.
That's real.
Nah,
I'm a great,
yo,
I didn't even notice it
until I started looking
at the list of the winners.
It's a nice little theme.
You can see it.
It's a nice little theme
painted.
I didn't think that was,
to that you gentlemen said i i nigga i
you right i can't argue with it when i'm looking at it i never even looked at and thought that
that was a one of the factors or a possibility but you can't make black you can't make all black
r&b be neo soul like that's not what it is that's not what happened when neo soul came like that was
a whole movement of a specific like type of i mean but you can't just turn black r&b into that now
and say because we're not doing r&b soul awards right see and it's cheating because you say
and i have my doja cape on still but doja putting r&b soul as the category is a cheat
especially it's a cheat for her.
It disallows you from having to compete
with the BTSs of the world.
Well, and
I'm not competing. I'm that already.
I'm already that.
I have to appeal
to the people that I'm trying to appeal
to, which is why Justin Bieber
put that fucking Martin Luther King thing on his album.
I'm already a pop star. She can anything she could write country under there she could
hey kanye did a sweep all the gospels gospel song gospel record gospel album and it was
it wasn't we sat here and had the debate we did i went back on that it's not we had the debate. We did. I went back on that. It's not. We had the debate. We don't
have to have it again, but he put
that word there. For a reason.
To appeal to
whoever he was trying to appeal to and clearly
there's a little plan work. Clean sweep.
Big fish, little pond shit. It's like the beef
they had with Lil Nas X. Yeah.
With the Old Town Road record. Yeah. He wanted to
label it country and they was like, this is not country.
Mm-hmm.
No, it's not. You can't be wanted to label it country. And they was like, this is not country. Mm-hmm. Like, no, it's not.
You can't be listed as a country act.
And they was right.
They got us.
They was right.
I agree.
They were right.
Yeah.
Yo, he was nominated for four out of the five Christian songs.
Yo.
I'm just saying man Like
Off the grid
It's a Christian song
And the best one of the year
I didn't have to hear
The rest of the Christian songs
Hurricane won
Wait
Hold on before we do that
Ish
What Hill song put out last year?
I don't know
What did the megachurches do?
Yeah why they wasn't on there
It's just tight
Yeah that's just
Get nominated
It's a little true
That Virginia shit yo
you gotta stop
they're not even from Virginia
that thinking is from Virginia
that was it
oh man
alright so we done
yo dawg
it really
I think only like 30 people
probably got nominated
for the whole entire
every category
man if Puff wasn't here
I wouldn't know
a thing about this thing
all jokes aside
I see the same names
for every single category
yeah
and that tell you
what this is
yeah
that tells you
yo this is
us
up here
I tell you one thing
though
I did catch that
Jasmine Sullivan
after 7
performance
wow
it was a performance
yeah
wow which made me want to ask y'all if you could take your and this was because it's the sample
they did the sample right but uh disregarding that if you could take any current act and put them with like an old act, what would you do?
And what would make sense sonically?
And we can think about that.
Yeah.
Come back to it.
Snow.
What else?
What else?
What else?
What else?
What else do we have?
We do have a bunch of shit to get to.
I just got like 10 million things on his,
on his topic list.
I killed my show.
You ain't even got to put this up. You ain't even got to put this up. You ain't even got to put, bunch of shit to get to. I just got like 10 million things on his, on his hobby list. I killed my show.
You ain't even got to put this up.
Yo,
you ain't even got to
put this up.
You ain't even got to
put,
you can put that down.
The time for humility
is always,
is always,
is always,
is always.
Now give him some
applause,
Parks.
Give him some applause.
Give him some applause.
I gave him some marihorns.
I gave him some drops.
You know what I mean?
Give him some applause.
I enjoyed it. I tuned in for a little while. Nah, it was great. I sat out in the car. It was raining. Give him some applause. I gave him some marihorns. I gave him some drops. I mean, give him some applause. I enjoyed it.
I tuned in for a little while.
No, it was great.
I sat out in the car.
It was raining.
It was a vibe.
Well, not watch, but I had the app open.
Listen.
If I didn't learn throughout many years of being robbed and fucked throughout this treacherous
business to never say this, I would say, I can't believe I'm getting paid for this.
That's like me careful that was like me saying no what that means twitter's free he is an idiot this guy here with that one twitter is free no it ain't no it's not but
anyway you know that line has quickly turned into i'm underpaid for everything
and i thought about that too like it's fucked up but i am no you are too I'm underpaid for everything. And I thought about that too. Like, it's fucked up, but I am.
No, you are too.
Everybody's underpaid for everything.
Facts.
Look at Cap.
That's how capitalism works.
What's up?
I ain't saying nothing, bro.
I'm listening to you.
You saw him, right?
You was ready.
For what?
I'm not.
I'm chilling, my nigga.
There's a pod.
You can't chill.
You have to talk to us.
I don't feel that.
I don't.
You said you're underpaid. I don't feel I'm under I'm chilling my nigga there's a pod you can't chill you have to talk to us I don't you say you want to pay
I don't feel I'm going to pay
for everything
but can I feel that way
about you
pay me more then nigga
I'm welcoming it
give it here
you want to talk about it
I'll take it
I did
you did what
what you talking about
what the fuck
are you talking about
I'm right you know pour it on down you know i mean i'm gonna pause i'm gonna talk about that
come on y'all don't say shit let me just go out and let you fucking stupid
this guy's a nutcase yo
moving right along man i want to find a way to say this because it's interesting like
I always fuck myself
in this
but
we can talk about it
right
like there's like
an art to negotiating
but some people
feel like
why do you have to do that
why do you have to do that dance
why do you have to
like you have to say this
even though you mean
and I'm going to come back
and give them my chance
it's obnoxious
let's be real
like the art to it the art the shit that the posturing the that part that you know what it
is the dance yeah it's a dance it depends it depends um i think circum circumstantially
you you you you handle it different Like the circumstances are different
in every single negotiation.
Of course.
If you negotiating with...
Now for me,
if I see value in a nigga,
hey, I'm going to send you
what I think the value is.
And that's it.
It's crazy.
The numbers,
you should get
whatever the highest
that the value is.
That's what I think.
That ain't for you to go
and add some shit
because the gesture is
and I'm not talking about y'all
I'm just talking about
like
I did it
I sent it
I sent it already
why do we have to gesture
now off of this
y'all know what I'm saying
hold on
to answer that
it's
who's stupid there
I don't even think
it's stupid
nobody
I don't think nobody's stupid
but to answer your question
well that's why you
hired professionals because they they came up with the posturing.
True.
Very true.
The posturing's there.
Any negotiation I have to do, I'm not doing.
And I guess I can't say that, because I believe in mannerisms at a poker table, so I can't say that.
I can't say that.
So let me ask you a question.
Do you believe, see, and this is where it gets gray, and this is where it gets tricky.
What if Spotify said they did that to you?
You don't feel that way.
That's what I was kind of getting ready to say.
You don't feel that way.
What you think is the value versus what the person you're telling is the value.
Time out, time out, time out.
I love this.
They would be totally within their right to say that.
Okay.
So they could feel like that, and then I could feel different.
A totally different way.
Right?
So for me, the result is result is well in that four year span
who was right because we always got to see who was right no you won't because because the data
will never be revealed to see who was right or wrong no and a lot of times it's still subjective
whatever they offered me i felt i could beat on my own. With no support. With freedom,
without any of the clauses
that they had attached.
By myself,
I think I can do better than that.
But that,
so then,
that wasn't the argument though.
Was it?
That wasn't the argument.
That kind of is.
Yeah.
That's not the argument.
The argument was
the person that is negotiating.
We started off on negotiations.
It wasn't,
yo,
can I do better?
It was, yo, are you worth the person? person that goes into the negotiation yeah no no i no choice is
going to the negotiation you can say yo fuck it i don't think you offering me enough i'm gonna hit
the road that's what you chose but in negotiating the two people y'all could never come to a
standstill but it don't gotta be a. Like, you get what I'm saying?
Oh, but I'm not saying that was a dirty negotiation today.
No, not Spotify.
You were just throwing it out there generally.
They had, but I like that example.
Yeah.
They had a view of what they thought the value was.
Right, true.
And then I had one.
So that's just a disagreement.
There's nothing wrong there.
But all the time, the negotiation is not predicated on value.
So you could, all right, let me give you an example in my business.
You can know that this electrician hasn't worked in months.
I hate when you use an example.
I'm stupid.
But go ahead.
No.
Electrician hasn't worked in months.
No.
I'm going to use a rap, a music one.
You know that this kid is going to blow.
Or your analytics show he going to blow.
Your judgment, I mean, not your judgment.
What y'all call it?
Like the data says that this kid is going to blow.
Okay.
But you know he live in the projects.
Okay.
You know he desperate.
You see value in him and you know he could potentially shoot up the charts.
And be worth X amount to you.
And you know he could potentially bring $100 million.
But you also know where his current position is.
And so his current position, he and his family are fucked up.
You know that out of desperation, he's going to take this.
So every negotiation is not predicated on value of the person.
It's predicated on circumstance.
So I know that if Joe, and this is why I think Spotify might have paid you wrong.
I know that Joe Button, well, I assume that Joe Button and this is why I think Spotify might have paid you wrong I know that Joe Button well I assume
that Joe Button
is this
do I
I don't think they would
ever say yo
he'll go independent
and say fuck it
I don't think that
they would have thought that
so it's circumstantial
I think that
people will look at
your position
and say yo
he needs this money
so huh
and because they
because they know that and that's an assumption they can
offer you lower yeah i i'll give you i will give you an example i get i get what you get what i'm
saying like i'll give you i'll give you another example when i remember i broke my ankle i'm
talking to the insurance you broke a lot of bones after you no i did not i'm talking to the insurance
company and i didn't have a lawyer at the time.
They know, okay, he doesn't have a lawyer.
He don't know what that injury is really worth.
So I can tell you, oh, they look at, oh, young kid here, whatever.
Yeah, I'll give you a low ball off. All insurance companies do.
All insurance companies, because you don't know.
Especially when you're from a certain demo.
Exactly.
They're looking at you like.
Exactly.
I went and get a lawyer.
I explained the case to them
the lawyer said no this case is worth this
because he knows
so now he went to do the negotiation with them
oh shit
he got somebody that
I can't run that game on
that I would have ran on him
you know what I'm saying
it's knowing what something is worth
but not trying to pay it
that's where
it's not about worth
it ain't about value because value is not a concrete number.
Most times we can't quantify.
Most times you can't quantify somebody's value.
Most times.
Sometimes you can't.
But most times.
We sat here the other week and said something about Tom Brady getting $375 million to be a commentator.
Can you really quantify it?
You can't because a lot of football is going to be based on the teams
that are playing on that particular day.
So if the Cowboys are playing the Steelers
and Tom Brady got the Jets playing the Jags,
nobody's going to cut off the Cowboys-Steelers to go watch the Jets-Jags
because Tom Brady's commentating the game.
I disagree with so many things y'all are saying,
but it's happening rapidly in my head.
When I get the $400 million
deal, I also get the
best football game that your channel has
to air. So I don't have to think about
that. No, that's a contingency.
It's not guaranteed. No, it's guaranteed.
It's not guaranteed because certain teams
have contracts with certain networks,
etc. Tom Brady's contract
with Fox, is it?
I don't know.
It's Fox.
So that's NFC football. I'm saying whatever Fox's obligation is contractually with games,
Tom Brady will get the pick of the litter from Fox's slate.
It's possible.
What I'm saying.
I agree.
I'm not disagreeing with that.
I'm just saying, as a football fan, we're going to watch the best
game, the most competitive game.
We're not going to watch the game based
on... It'll be good
if John Madden is over there
with Pat Summerall calling the game. That's
dope. Because you know John Madden is
animated, blah, blah, blah. It's dope to watch
him call a game. I'm saying that
we're not going to cut off this game over here
of your favorite
team because of that so it's hard to quantify but they felt his value was such can't not hard
to quantify it if they want it to be hard to quantify i think in certain instances it's not
very hard at all i.e tom brady but that's a bad example because he's like pick of the litter he's an anomaly I don't like that example
I also don't like your example of
the artists and the projects
whose value is through the roof
but may need some development
to get there because I don't know what the development
costs
that's what gets us
on our production
company label versus artist argument all the time is, hey, I don't know what this production company did for five years for this person.
To pop.
And I credit the production company with knowing that this person in five years is going to become this.
It's still business.
See, I think that that's good business, right? It's still business. If in this, it is. It's still business. See, I think that that's good business, right?
It's still business.
If in this, it is.
It's still business.
I'm agreeing.
It is business.
But look, so it's numbers too.
So if you've been running a business, a music business for the last 50 years, you know what
the costs are going to be to get this person to a certain level.
Or you have a realm of what these costs are going to be.
Let's say for five years developing this artist, we're going to be let's say it's for five years development and
developing this artist we're gonna spend 10 million or just we just throw in numbers now
and we know that if properly developed he could she could make us 300 million
you have an idea because you've been doing it for 40 years on what it's going to cost to get
this person to the next echelon.
You got the relationships already.
You got all of that shit already in play.
I don't like that.
It's business.
It is.
In every business, fam, we have a cost risk assessment in every business.
And they're not going to put out more money to the developer artist knowing that they're not going to get it back.
I feel like our points are moving all over the place.
I'm just giving you an example.
So in your negotiation, you can say,
fam, I know it's going to cost me $10 million,
but he can make $300 million.
I could give him a fairer number.
But I won't because he's desperate and he needs the money. Fam, let's bring it to current times right now.
We got NBA Youngboy with Atlantic Records.
Now, he's been going on screaming for the longest how
I hate Atlantic, fuck Atlantic.
I'm not making no money off my YouTube. now he's been going on screaming for the longest how i hate atlantic fuck atlantic you know they
i'm not making no money off my youtube there's reports going around now that he declined the
re-sign with atlantic and they were offering him 25 million dollars that right there goes into your
negotiation tactic they might not tactic but uh discussion they might say yo you're worth 25 mil
at this point see i like this example better and he might look
at it and say right where it should be no i want i know i'm worth more than that based off of what
i've done over the last couple years and let's leave it here because in this in this example
it's not so convoluted right both sides have proven value to each other and they've proven chemistry with each other
now
how does this side feel versus this side
and that's why I said hey
Atlanta offers 25 million allegedly because I didn't
fact check that right right it's all alleged
if he says no nobody's
wrong right here in this instance
but
in the next few years
you could be wrong
because now it's not just guessing.
Now we have,
hey, Spotify gave me five years
and said this is what all my rights were worth.
Now we back to that Drake conversation
where he sold off whatever he sold off.
Y'all know what I think in real life about it.
But, can't tell nobody to say no to fucking $500 million.
But for all things Drake,
music, all rights, like the publishing,
the whole kid in Caboodle.
Hello?
No, no, no.
Yeah, you can.
Yeah, you can what?
Tell them niggas to kiss your ass.
You're not going to do that.
I disagree.
You're not going to do that in that moment.
Please.
I told Spongebob I kissed my ass in that moment.
And the whole black community laughed.
So?
Very small percentage of people in that spot is doing that.
But you're talking to people that may not be privy to all privy to all information or people.
When you start talking those types of numbers, people think you crazy.
I remember fucking Terrell Owens and Latrell Sprewell and all them niggas.
You was getting murdered.
Terrell Owens like, yo, I need more money to feed my family.
And what the media did was say, yo, you a four-year deal worth this amount of money but they didn't say yo we could cut you at any given time and you not
owe the fucking dollar because in the beginning football money wasn't guaranteed still isn't a
lot of times i know that's why now the signing bonus be the big part yeah but back then when
terrell was bitching the media put a spin on it and said he was being greedy he makes xyz million
dollars a year yo everybody can't understand the type of business at that level that you were talking about so i don't give a
fuck if black twitter or black instagram murdered you that could have potentially been a great
decision for you just because they don't understand that we watch that don't mean it's not a good
decision man when chapelle left exactly and they spun it and then he walked away oh he's a yo he's
on drugs he did this he
walked away from 50 million like you don't know what happened and i don't believe your young boy
example you can't really tell who's right because now once they part ways it's a whole bunch of
variables that come into play it depends on what young boy does with his free time it depends on
what the label does or does not do. Like, a lot of that shit comes
as variables.
You won't ever say
who's right or wrong.
Nigga, you could have potentially
not signed the Patreon deal.
You could have potentially
went and hid it.
No, see, that's not true.
If you say no to $20 million
because you think you have a plan
and then you go
and the next six years
you make $1,000
or something stupid,
$100,000,
you were wrong.
No, you might have stopped working.
You might have did a bunch of bullshit.
That don't necessarily mean
that if you were staying that same...
You might have stopped working.
Yeah, like you could have stayed...
You get what I mean?
You was wrong.
If you stopped working,
you was wrong.
But the label would have made...
You get what I'm saying?
I don't get that as meaning you wrong.
Yeah.
I still...
It could have just been...
There's no right or wrong. It's just the value that you say I'm saying? I don't get that as meaning you wrong. Yeah. I still, it could have just been, there's no right or wrong.
It's just the value that you say I'm worth, I disagree with.
And if we can't come to an agreement on something, then I walk.
But the value is what you can get.
See, we got to stop throwing around this word like it's the boogeyman.
What you mean?
The value is what you could get.
At some point, the value is what you can go out and get over the course of life.
Yeah.
When you subscribe to YouTube, they're not, and let me not say YouTube, but when you subscribe anywhere, they're not valuing you as a subscriber to this.
They're valuing you at what it's worth how just how many dollars over this span can i
get from you how much you could i shove in front of their face it's worth much more than the 10
15 dollars so that's what i mean about value over the course of some shit what is the value in this
so at some point it gets to right, it's white and black
on paper here.
Are you understanding
what I'm saying or no?
Yes.
I get a little bit
because I'm going to bring it to,
like a lot of cable companies,
internet providers,
shit like that, right?
They say you're not a profit
to the company
within the first year.
So if you sign up today,
you know,
they give you a little promo deal
or whatever,
that first year, they didn't make any money know to get a little promo deal or whatever that first
year they didn't make any money off of you once you hit year two now you're worth something to
them i don't know what that number is but now they are now making money off of your subscription
um a lot of people don't know you can after about a year or two in a car on a contract with one of
these companies you can call them and...
Renegotiate.
Yeah, you can threaten to leave,
renegotiate because
you're worth something now.
They're making money off you.
They want to keep you.
So it's like,
over time...
This is a great conversation, by the way.
I don't know if we're explaining it the best,
but this is a real...
I'm trying to explain it.
It's a little over the place,
but it's cool.
But yeah, but this is what you said. Over time, what can we get off of you why do y'all think
so many podcasters are just running and snatching whatever's but and every time i have to have this
talk people feel like i'm shooting at people i'm not but if you just look at the field right if
everybody knows they're worth and their value because that's the cool shit going on i don't
think niggas know they don't know no okay well then there's that but we can never have that conversation if there's no opening to have that conversation
if nobody nobody's running around saying yo i don't know my value i kind of had a little bit
of that talk with math on his shit but nobody's running around saying that yeah everybody's running
around saying that's ego driven that may not be absolutely that may not be knowledge driven
definitely ego you know how hard it is for somebody to say y'all need help they may not know but they scared to ask you get what i'm saying that don't necessarily mean
that they they that they feel that they know seeing that well that's the tricky thing about
value at some point you got to make it come to life no you don't even know somebody somebody
has to unlock something if not you then hey that's why in this case atlantic might feel
like well yeah you were 200 million here a spotify might have felt like well yeah you were 200
million here or whatever the number was here with us because of our tools but without us
there you go then what the fuck are you worth true so stay there
for an artist
he would have to get
to the action now
see it depends on
how much information
he has
and a lot of people
refuse to do the work
I was about to say
it depends on how much
information he has
that's why I don't judge
on either side
right like I can't
I'm too broke to talk
about that Drake deal
number one
and number two
all the work that you
would have to do
as an entity
as a company as a business
to get that 400 to get no to get what he should get well right yeah yeah it's a lot it's other
shit too i don't know that wealthy niggas is trying to live their life that way right now
right like we was having that conversation when everybody was sending publishing off
yeah it's like then this guy's selling his publisher for 100 mil 200 mil well yeah he's 60 years old 50 years old and not for nothing i mean if you get 400 million i don't
know what the course of payment would be but i can immediately turn that into whatever my number is
just off investment alone like dumb pub dumb pub conversation i wish i had more than one hit
yo i will tell you no even with that what you just said is very very very very
important some people don't feel like doing that shit some people don't want to work yo yeah i know
you get i know you beating me but give me my money and i'm gonna just sit over here and chill for me
to maximize this value of my catalog i gotta do a whole bunch of work that i don't want to do
and i'm 70 years old
if i'm 45 give me the money i'm gonna sit over here and chill and you could collect the rest
yeah that's fine yeah give me my 100 million and let me start planning my life differently
and i'm chilling because that's really what it is you get 100 million dollars
it allows you to look at life a little different so so so when you start the rest of life right
that's my thing with maybe your kids lives he might have information that he knows i can make to look at life a little different. A lot different. For the rest of life. Right.
That's my thing with him.
Maybe your kids' lives.
He might have information that he knows
I can make way more
than $25 million
myself.
So I'm going to
turn down your $25 million.
Okay,
and that's when
somebody wise
should tell him
that they will try
their best to devalue you
before you ever make
a fucking footprint
in that plan.
Because I don't even
think it's that.
Honestly, I think he
might be looking at... What does that mean?
They're going to step on your value.
What do you mean so?
That's the machine, bro. You're going up against the machine.
It's a little harder, bro.
Give it to me. Don't dismiss me.
I'm not enlightening you.
Somebody could have felt the same exact thing about you
when you turned down your Spotify deal. They did it to me.
My point is that that don't mean that you can't circumvent what they trying to do.
If he got enough,
enough,
uh,
uh,
what you call it?
Belief in himself.
He can still say,
yo,
all right,
I'm gonna turn down your 25 mil.
I know y'all gonna do the fuck shit,
but I'm gonna show y'all on the other side when I make a hundred million.
It might be harder,
but I can still do it.
Hey,
there's a lot of people
that would get out the escape room
if you added two more minutes to the hour.
True.
Right?
Like, you're right.
But,
that's a good one.
Who want to have to get through
more hurdles now?
You?
That's me.
Everybody.
I'm just giving you an example.
Everybody ain't like that, yo.
I'm not saying that they are.
What I'm saying is maybe. We see way more examples every day of the guy that's not like that you're right and that's that's kind of what
and they're way more 95 percenters than five percenters we're not disagreeing with that with
his case i don't even think it's i have information that tells me i could be worth more i think he's
scoring it could be that i came in y'all gave me however much to sign the deal and then i looked at
the course over the deal how much y'all made and that number looks like this and i didn't get none
of that youtube shit after that so it's like no i'm not signing with y'all no matter what okay
now you offer me 25 which is x amount of times the original deal but i watched you make that in a
month or whatever the case may be
so it's just
it could just be past scoring
like no I'm not signing with y'all
could be
let's leave this
because
this is great
and I don't want to be
and yeah y'all stepped on
my fucking praise for myself
my Jesus
but it's fine
the moment passed
my show went great
it was great
I enjoyed your show
still in the early stages
yeah
sure
I gotta say though
I enjoyed your show
because
and I know you personally
I know you do this
I'm pretty sure a lot of fans
wasn't expecting it
like you wasn't just
you played like
Seaside Records
yeah
like that's what was ill
that's why I'm like
you know
Joe give you a fucking
music lesson for real yeah you know he made this this this this and this but here go some fly shit
yeah if i if i had access to like my actual music library but i understand what's going on with the
licenses and the business and so again shout out to amazon thank you amp and monday we back at it
now we can run no more we can run no more from it
let's just get right to it
like when
does the internet even forget things
like most of y'all wasn't outside
and let me just get my grievance
out the way I don't like
what y'all be doing with my name yo
I don't like that I be minding my business
and a news story break and
y'all just find a way that Joe Budden fits in this story somewhere.
So Freddie Gibbs allegedly got jumped, was involved in a brawl.
And all y'all had to say was, yeah, man, they treating Freddie Gibbs like new Joe Budden and Berg.
Now, now I could understand why you guys put Youngberg in there
the chain
went around
I got it
y'all don't let people grow
but I only got hit once
in 20 years
god damn it
one time
and most of y'all
wasn't outside
I don't really think
that's a fair
comp
now that my shit is out of the way,
back to Freddie Gibbs.
What do you want me to say about this?
I hope they squash this shit, man.
That's what I want to say about this.
We said that.
Mad times are ready.
And they didn't.
They didn't.
We said it every week.
But now that it's gotten-
Twice a week.
Now that it's gotten violent a week now it's gotten violent
and physical in person i really hope no this was still a pow pow yeah this was this was still a
pat pat it's not what it could have been true i'm glad this is thank god round of applause round of
applause i see that many people involved yeah you missed that you miss a good old-fashioned knuckle-up, even if there are 20 people involved on the opposing side, right?
This could have went bad.
Normally, when people want to make a statement this loud,
weapons are involved.
And if not anything fatal, then at least a brass knuckle,
some Chinese stars, a blade, a poker.
That poker gets tricky right i was just talking to my
cousin recently about that and he was explaining to me how he's seen cases where you know you get
stabbed one spot real quick right in the back and you lose life because there are so many important
things in your stomach and if one of because there are so many important things in
your stomach and if one of them get punctured and leak enough blood before somebody can get to it
you will die and he said i've seen times where somebody gets stabbed up 17 times and because
none of that important shit is hit then they survive it but the stomach in the back liver
all that gets tricky all it take in a fight real quick is a we seen it we don't
need to go through that here so thank god none of that occurred really happy about that whoever
sanctioned this thank you for that part i'm not thanking them for sanctioning this thank you for
making sure this didn't get bloody to the point where Freddie couldn't go on and do his show.
Now that that's out of the way,
what else do you guys think about this?
I almost want to never discuss rap.
I disagree with everything happening in rap.
Word.
Everything happening, I disagree with it.
I don't have a take.
I don't want to keep coming in here twice a week
to give you a take.
I told these niggas to stop ages ago.
And I'm saying these niggas, but we don't know who did this.
We don't know who did this.
But, again, we can't ignore the fact that months ago, Gibbs is out there saying,
and I got two back-to-back shows in New York this night and that night.
Do something, pretty much.
You're inviting.
I said it back then.
Shut up. I love Freddie Gibbs love i'm a gibbs guy but that's my man it's like you doing more this than than rapping right now i will not alienate him during tough times i'm the way
that hip-hop is known to do i'm not doing that at all i'm not alienating alienating him i'm just saying bro you are i think
the antique shit that i see from him reminds me of the shit that i expect to see from those who
have no other talent so you have to do something to get your name mentioned out there i gotta do
the extra shit stick was nominated for a Grammy. Word.
For best rap album.
You are in a different tier than this.
And it's just like,
at what point
does he stop?
Like, what point
do you just leave?
Anytime something happens
involving Gibbs,
you only hear from him.
See, I like
that part too, though. I like the fact
that Jim kept it quiet.
Whoever did this is keeping it
quiet. I do appreciate
those things and what's going on.
But I don't like what's going on.
I'm saying it is, we don't
gotta hear from him either.
Keep this shit off the internet.
We all,
he's old,
he's in front of an NIH group.
We came from everywhere you don't do,
it don't go online.
That's the other part too.
In his defense though,
it's tough to be quiet
when you are actively moving around.
Like,
when you're actively trying to promote back-to-back projects,
when you're actively trying to sell a tour,
when you're active in going to some of these casting auditions
and shit that he's going to.
Like, it's tough to be quiet.
Like, I'm sure that his team and agent and agents
and whoever's behind him is saying not to be quiet.
Maybe not on these matters. That's all not to be quiet maybe not on these matters
that's all i'm saying maybe not on these matters i know you have to do your job but once the matter
happens you have to address it then you have a team of people no you don't you had to go on
stage that night you still didn't have to address anything you could get you got to go on stage he
ain't saying shit on stage yeah all right listen when when famous people get in the shit if the blowback is
wide enough from fans their people will encourage them to address this publicly
kaylani she just had that back and forth with the interview about whatever that was but
when she addressed it on her social she said i don't even normally ever address this type of
shit but my team says i should so here here I am. I see that every week
with somebody addressing something that...
We just had one of the biggest moments ever
where Will Smith slapped the shit out of Chris Rock.
Chris Rock said,
I'm not addressing this unless I get a bag for it,
and that's all y'all getting from me.
Don't ask me nothing else about it.
Great point.
So they don't have to be addressed.
Great point.
And I hate when y'all do that
it's levels to this
that's Chris Rock
I'm talking about Freddie Gibbs
Chris Rock has the luxury
to be able to do that
which one
Chris Rock's name
as it stands still
if he does nothing else
for the next five years
10
20
I'm with you
he's gonna be Chris Rock
Freddie Gibbs is not in that vote
I know but
who do you think had more pressure
to respond
that's what I'm talking about.
Pressure?
Yeah.
Chris Rock had more pressure.
You're talking about Prime.
I don't think so.
Because Chris is not as accessible as Freddie.
And not only that, but he's a victim there.
So nobody is urging him to come forward.
He didn't.
Well, got gotta get tricky,
yeah,
can't say that,
he's saved by the comedian tag,
and that was at the Oscars,
if you're asking me about who's pressured more in their circle,
I think it's Freddie Gibbs,
because that's why he went on stage that night,
if you're asking Joe,
and you didn't ask me,
but I'll share it,
because I'm here,
yeah,
if there was one reason to not do the show, it's I am in physical danger in the city or I've been physically harmed.
See, I think the opposite.
Those are.
I think opposite.
I think that the.
I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
So I think that what I've seen of him
and the persona
that he's created
for himself
alright nigga
y'all got it off
I'm still gonna do my show
I'm still gonna get my bread
and I'm gonna talk shit
on the stage
that's the persona
that he has given
we don't
we don't have to die
over these non-existent virtues
I'm not disagreeing with you
you don't have to die
over his persona
I agree with you
I wanna break
I wanna break some of that conditioning.
That goes back to my point from even the first incident that happened where he comes out and say, oh, yeah, because Jim is from New York.
Yeah, I'll be in New York.
I got two back-to-back shows, New York and Buffalo.
And right after he said that, we came in here and said he should skip Buffalo.
Saying that as somebody that said some shit in buffalo and they got it surrounded rather fast
like you don't want to play out there you really don't want to play anywhere and that's the other
thing yeah i'm here to just help the kids to understand culture and conditioning right like
outside is now a buzzword see and i hate when things become buzzwordy because we lose the importance of what that stemmed from and how it was birthed.
Outside meant, hey, I am able to be outside in these numerous places because of the respect I give the respect i'm given i'm not threatened anywhere
i have history in these places like that's what outside meant right and there is a privilege that
comes with that as an entertainer you make your money by being outside right right and sometimes
that window gets small like it could quickly but it could quickly turn from you making music at home or you tweeting on Twitter just about artists saying fuck shit.
Bunch of niggas that have said fuck shit about me on Twitter.
When I go to their bio, it says aspiring rapper. Right.
Like it could quickly go from that to now you're surrounded by the people that you
once spoken about now you outside hey where can you not be outside at that becomes like
a economic decision now fucking uh we've seen this back uh back with our trick trick oh they've
told all the stories now about just you come to detroit you act a certain way you know the shit
that him and royce was on yo now you can't come to Detroit, you act a certain way you know the shit that Tim and Royce was on
yo, now you can't come to Detroit, no fly zone
you can't move around here, we will make it
uncomfortable for you, the Cardi B video that came
out, yo, do you want it to be uncomfortable for you
like, comfort
comfort
Freddie Gibbs
behavior to me
and I agree with you, I'm just saying it differently
it needs to match what I believe his aspirations
are. Because when I look at him
I see somebody with huge
aspirations. And to do that
guess what you got to do? You got to be out.
Exactly. So you don't
make it harder for yourself outside.
That's what I don't get. For what?
I'm not saying that you're not tough, can't
defend yourself, can't handle yourself.
I'm saying fights win or lose are business decisions, yo.
Whether you're on the upside or the downside of this.
Whoever's in business with Freddie Gibbs do not want to wake up the next day
and see a bunch of clips going around of what we saw.
And where was that?
A little barbecue spot. Is that what it was? Yeah, it that? It's a little barbecue spot.
Is that what it was?
Yeah, it was.
Barbecue spot.
Allegedly.
You're lying.
No.
It sounds about right.
Look at the beginning.
When is the barbecue spot,
when is the fire barbecue spot
ever in the white part of town?
You gotta go to where it's at.
And you're dealing with buffaloes,
particularly the
gentleman that he's
been beefing with, are beloved
and there's not much else that comes
from that town.
They might not even know them.
Yeah, that's true.
But that's the scary part.
That's the part about beefing.
I don't gotta send that
I don't have to send that
yeah
I only take one 15 year old
I would've skipped this show
I wouldn't have skipped the show
I would've skipped
going to the local
barbecue pit
like I'm the man
yeah
you just gotta be hungry
that day
I know
little grub.
Man, I got somebody traveling with me.
Yo, go pick that up.
Word.
Because it don't look like the...
No shot to Buffalo.
I mean, no diss to Buffalo,
but it don't look like the friendliest spot, nigga.
It look like the barbecue and they're banging.
I was about to say, that's what you know.
We know what that mean.
That's what you know.
Yeah.
That's Miss Thelma back there cooking that barbecue.
I'm always impressed with how fast word gets around the hood or the work that it went into to spot this person at this time.
Because word goes into that.
I wouldn't be shocked if Freddie Gibbs got a few phone calls that day.
Like, this wasn't a surprise.
Like, even if you didn't know that the shit that you was talking all of these months might lead to this
I'm sure a day before this
show you got a couple phone calls
that said yo high alert
that's it
cause you get those calls
you should know that in this
particular instance
I don't have to get a phone call at all
I've been antagonizing
the king of Buffalo
for whatever reason.
And now I'm going to Buffalo.
It's an away game. To get money.
It's an away game. It's still an
away game. To get money.
You get the money. You don't want to be outside.
I'm going to get money, but it's an away game to get
the money. It's an economic thing. No, you can't get money
in there. You can, but something's
going to come with it. Yeah.
You have to think about this every time you come here to get money.
Because what do they have?
Back-to-back shows in Buffalo?
No, you have to show in Manhattan. New York and then Buffalo.
Buffalo.
Back-to-back.
I hope that Freddie Gibbs is good.
I hope that this shit, I mean, he performed.
Face was a little lumped up.
Hey, I got on Ustream with a lumpy eye, y'all said I had.
I thought I was beautiful.
He went, you know, he didn't like the fact that they were saying his chain got snatched
because in there they were saying there was no rabbit chain.
So he showed that he still got the chain.
He put a picture up of it and then put a video up that he was at Icebox.
Y'all, I don't care about you niggas' chains, yo.
I don't care if y'all lose them shits, flush them down the toilet.
I don't care. I don't care if y'all lose them shits flush them down the toilet like I don't care
like I don't care
and I do
y'all just care a little more
about them than me
nah yo do you see what
like this is just called
ignorance
nah
you see what I'm saying
no this the crazy shit
my nigga
he could've really lost his life there
exactly
like it only took
two niggas to
to stab him
in the right spots
and he could've been
laying down bleeding in that barbecue.
One.
I'm just saying, right?
He gets online, and this is where.
And again, I don't know the dude, so I feel a little funny speaking on him.
And the nigga that did it might not have been thinking nothing about a chain, dog.
When it's murder on my mind, it's murder on my mind.
And it could have been a 15-year-old little nigga just trying.
Dog, and you get online instead of saying i thank god for my life
you talked about these yo 28 y'all and y'all couldn't even get my shit come harder that's
where i feel like i sound like the old old nigga in the club right it seemed like after this the
first thing to do would hey get mutual parties to get somebody on the phone and get to it now
this should show us that this could get a lot more serious if we both
decided to take it there or if one of us decided to and we shouldn't want that everybody got kids
everybody got a family and i'm assuming you love them both or all of them more than you do your
chain or chains and it might not again it might not even be someone that you know or contacted
it could just be someone
yo that's my man
I hate taking shit to TV shows
Canard killed Omar
like
that wasn't even with the beef
he wasn't with him
little 15 year old
popped Omar
you get what I'm saying
like it don't have to be
the nigga you beefing with
sent somebody
niggas can just know
they don't fuck with you
right now
then he put a clip up
the next day
of him going to get another chain or something
like that which let me know i thought he had the same chain no he was going to get something
he had the same piece he said they didn't get the chain and he was going to get something but he was
at the jewelry store and he was excited about the ability to be able to or it seemed that way
the ability to go right back after such a jarring event.
Right?
But my thing is, well, look at the life you've afforded for yourself.
Wow.
What a luxury to be able to go through that and the next day have disposable income to spend on jewelry.
You're doing great.
It seems like you enjoy the ability to do great and to be great.
So why put more hurdles there is all I'm saying.
That's what I kept saying.
Why make it harder for yourself with unnecessary confidence?
I don't like seeing it.
I hate it.
I don't expect this from him.
That's why I am keeping it on him like I'm a fan of his music.
You are too good at
this type of shit you get from the
ones who can't rap. And from kids
at least. The kids.
I expect that from them. That's in
their bag. That's what they do.
They get on Instagram and
send shots back and forth at each other. Something
happened. They come talking shit. Yeah, come harder next time.
That's their bag.
The lyrical niggas
be looking for a little schtick, too.
They do.
Yeah.
It just goes different
and looks different, but...
Yeah, for some reason,
we don't want to see that.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
We don't want to see that.
I'm just glad everybody
was able to walk away though
that part
that's the most
important part
somebody put a
microphone on Kendrick
while he's walking
around Ghana man
reading the news
he not even
looking at the news
yo I could have
so much fun here
but
I won't
get your shit on
look at y'all
get your shit on
I'm with you.
I'm here with you.
Look at my...
Nope.
Oh.
Nope.
Too great of a project.
Too great of a man.
But I mean,
my problem is
I still have my sense of humor
when I'm home.
Did you see the video
of him watching the soccer game?
Yeah, I saw it.
I saw him playing soccer.
Yeah, I didn't know
he played out there too
He's living life man
Hey man J. Cole
Played basketball
Kendrick going to do soccer
Sounds about right
That's all
Sounds about right
Let them do what they do
They shoot this soccer game
In 4K boy
On the cement
Make sure you get this
shout out to Kendrick
album's still amazing
I think that's dope though
I'm not doing it
that nigga's a megastar
his album got better
it got better
and that's why
I wasn't giving it to you
it got better
it did
I was vibing all weekend
I'm not gonna lie
certain shit you just
can't give a take to
not me
I was busy
listening to romantic shit
but
his album got a lot better.
When I put it on, I was like, oh, damn.
This about to age like something else in this phone.
He's good at that, man.
The guy's good.
Go ahead and play soccer, man.
Go ahead.
Yeah, rock out.
Have a blast.
Get your shit off, man.
I'm not coming over there.
I'm not doing no interviews.
I'm not even in the States.
Oh, the album dropped?
Cool, y'all enjoy that.
Now that Kendrick dropped, though,
is there anybody that still has you
highly anticipating their music release?
Chris Brown.
Is it a little outside of Chris Brown?
Nope.
Not for me, really.
Not for me.
I got Bad Bunny and Kendrick in the same week.
Drake, if he drops, I'll be... Isn't that sad to y'all that there's four people that get you really riled up before a release?
Maybe five the most?
I mean, no.
There's other people that I would look forward to if they dropped.
But these are the ones that they ain't dropped in a long time.
We've been waiting for that.
I'm looking forward to anything coming out of that Jermaine Dupri studio in atlanta just because i've been watching on instagram and it looks like a movie
well and it's jermaine dupree so you know his brain when he's involved uh y'all know i was

For me, now it's like, oh, if they drop, dope.
Yeah.
Or if they announce, dope.
Yeah, the only person that got me like, nigga, when is the date, is Chris Burr.
Like, he said album come in June.
I'm like this.
That's it.
The tour's been announced.
Other than that, I'll take what I, you know,
SZA, we keep saying SZA's coming,
but we don't know when.
Actually, we've been saying that for two years now. Yeah, so that's on the list of,
hey, I'll get it when it comes.
I'm not anticipating, like,
I don't have any concrete information that,
yo, it's coming. We have a date.
Now I'm excited.
So,
that's it.
And I'm waiting for SZA.
Facts.
I'm not anticipating it
because I don't
believe it's coming
anytime soon.
It's like Kanye
put the date out.
We'll be excited,
but
we're probably not
going to get it.
We'll just get it
when we get it.
Yeah.
We spoke about Freddie Gibbs in Buffalo.
Do y'all want to talk about the real tragedy in Buffalo?
Absolutely.
Definitely.
Active domestic terrorism yet again.
Mm-hmm.
Captured alive.
Yet again.
While armed.
Yet again.
I mean...
Military grade ammo and weapons and armor and...
Yet again.
Yet again.
In a state that don't really play that, by the way.
Well, he wasn't from there.
No, he was from Broome County, which is about an hour from where I grew up.
No, he was from New York.
He was from New York.
No, he wasn't from...
I'm talking about where they're from.
No.
Ten people are...
Still in New York State, is what I'm saying.
Gun laws are killed and three are
wounded in a mass shooting at Tops.
Teenage gunmen
entranced by
white supremacist ideology known
as... See, I'm not doing
this. I don't even want to read this.
Because
that's just more media.
And nah. I agree with that. because that's just more media and nah
nah
18 year old man who allegedly shot
allegedly shot
and he streamed
what do you say to this, man?
Y'all say something.
This is bullshit, bro.
That's what this is.
I don't want to hear the sheriff going up there.
This is pure evil.
We know what this is.
Y'all keep allowing this shit. I'm going to tell you my problem with it.
And y'all know, fans, I'm the last one out of everybody in here to ever take it to the racial shit.
But some shit you can't avoid.
This is racial shit.
When they went down there in Atlanta
and started shooting
those spas up,
we got an Asian bill
really quick.
I don't hear shit.
I'll take it a step further.
You see these
rappers currently in the news for
Rico shit and how they get the information by
looking at the internet and put them all together and found
them. This guy had
followers on Twitch,
I'm assuming. He probably had followers on
4chan or whatever these sites are.
He probably followed other people.
How are
we not able to find these people and
at least keep an eye on them?
Yeah.
The same way they're doing with Rico charges.
Mm-hmm.
Y'all can scour the internet and look for all the evidence you can over here.
Exactly.
But when he's putting all the evidence up,
and I don't know how true this is.
I don't know how true this is.
I did hear something about he was being looked at for,
he talked about shooting a school up before or something.
Yeah, I read that.
So y'all even have something that he wanted to do before and was still allowed to just move around.
But y'all are monitoring the internet though.
Right.
When the suspect arrived at the store around 2.30 p.m., he was heavily armed, wearing tactical gear, including a tactical helmet along with plated armor.

I didn't watch that.
I didn't watch it.
I'm just saying, just reading it.
This.
Just reading these names with these ages.
And knowing that everybody got a
at that age what do you do besides go to the supermarket right go home watch your stories
your soaps eat check on your kid like grandma can't go to the supermarket though bro somebody
put it in a chat and um i just oh i know what it was so i just opened it up and it and
all jokes aside the shit looked like a video game and i think these young kids he was 18
they are being desensitized to death because it looked just like a video game from the point of
view when you be uh what's the game that call of duty call of duty and all them shits they'd be
running through on the point of view screen
that's what it looked like
I didn't know what it was
when I first opened it up
and he just started shooting
and people started falling
I really still didn't know
what I was looking at
he went in the grocery store
I'm like yo
that shit look real
like yo
and with all these graphics
and that's it right there
the graphics now
on these video games
dog
you can see pimples
on somebody's face
you can see pores and they skinning all of that shit and they desensitizing these kids to death like this shit
is crazy but yo I got a lot of other groups to get to before I get to the video games part and
of course no no no no no no I'm just saying that shit just looked crazy to me me it was it was
crazy yeah I could I didn't watch it. I heard what it was
and any video I saw that
even resembled that it could have been that,
I didn't click play. Same. I couldn't watch
that.
I'm going to try to
get to a
higher level of thinking
and functioning my brain with
this. Because I mean,
unfortunately, we continue to see this story
not much to unpack about the story and where it stems from right i guess what fucked me up
they all fucked me up but what fucked me up with this when we really get to try and unpack it right
this kid is 18 years old a kid is 18 i mean you you just born yesterday so what do you know you don't know
shit about shit you don't but impression you're highly impressionable you are being raised even trained trained taught to think this and carry this out right hold on stop right there
because i saw some posts of i guess it was he he wrote a manifesto as some of them do
and one of the i don't know if this was the beginning. Why is it called a manifesto when they write it?
See, I don't even like that.
I don't know.
It's not a manifesto.
But go ahead.
But one of the.
A manifesto. I don't know if it was the start, but one of the lines said, I wasn't raised to be a racist.
Wasn't brought up this way, wasn't taught this way.
I didn't become a racist until after I learned the truth and
his quote unquote truth
is kind of what is when we brought up the
Roe v. Wade
yes the Roe v. Wade
it's all that's tied in together
where they are really
being taught and believing that
what's his name on Fox News openly talks about that they are really being taught and believing that the white...
What's his name on Fox News?
Openly talks about that.
I don't want to say his name.
I know you're dumb.
I know you're dumb.
But yeah, this is some shit.
This is like really happening here.
They believe, yo, we got to...
There's a segment of points that are absolutely terrifying.
We are the master people.
We're losing our place and we got to stop it.
We got to balance the scales
in some way.
Indeed.
I didn't know that.
So that was news to me.
I've heard,
you know,
when you made that point.
Oh, you thought it was rhetoric?
Yeah, when you made that point.
You thought it was conspiracy theory?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But when you see someone say that
and then go do what they did
and to them they truly believe
that I'm doing my part to help.
Like, yo, people are fucked up.
Kids.
Similar to the kid in,
wherever that was,
Kyle's in South Carolina.
Yeah, Rittenhouse.
Yeah, same shit.
Some of these kids are,
whatever, I don't know if it's...
This happens so much
that I'm confused on the case.
Yeah, no.
Kyle Rittenhouse is which case? He's the kid in much that I'm confused on the case exactly is which case
in the church
to the protest
no no
that was the other kid
that was still
I don't even like
giving these people their names
I don't like giving their
fucking names
fuck all their names
fuck all them kids
you're absolutely right
now the crazy shit
I'm thinking about
the dad and the son
that didn't like
do jogging
Omar Aubrey
rest in peace rest in peace like so when you say that in the sun that didn't like dude jogging like
so when you say that and I hate to even try
to unpack this
when you say that they feel like if there's one less
black person if we kill one black person
and we did the world a service
they feel like they're playing their part
in helping
their race the numbers to help their numbers
because they said after he shot all the people he got on his knees put his hand behind his head In helping their race. The numbers. To help their numbers.
Because they said after he shot all the people, he got on his knees, put his hand behind his head and the whole shit, and basically just surrendered himself. Well, they showed the video of him apologizing to the white guy for almost killing him, saying sorry.
And that is where you kill.
And boy, did that tick me off.
No.
Wow, he's so mannerable as he's committing.
Like, boy, he's such a calm, nice, hospitable kid.
No.
But he's not.
On Fox 5, they had a black preacher.
And then they had a commentator on Fox 5.
And the commentator's like, oh, well, he's only 18.
And do you think he suffered from some level of mental illness like you know when
you're 18 you're not really that mentally mature blah blah blah so he went on giving some
shitty borderline justifications for the kid not justifications but bailouts for the kid
blaming it on mental illness and the black preacher was like nah he's a sound-minded body and he goes on to say yo he
can vote he can go to war he could do xyz he knew well enough to drive that distance to a population
where they were majority black to commit his crime so if you have same sound mind and body to do that
then you not that crazy well then my point was fam you are of enough sound mind and body that
even once the shit kicked off you caught yourself not and not killed the white dude you get what
i'm saying like you were in a rage you weren't just going shooting up everybody you were calm
you were collected it was calculated because when you saw the white dude you even apologized even further than well further than that point because this is true but there
also has to be some type of ledger being handed down or a sticky note passed around to say hey if you just are adamant in why you are killing black people you will be excused
by the law i mean that is what it feels like no there's been there's been reports about like this
is not a conspiracy theory or anything about uh white supremacists infiltrating uh law and
politics circles like this is not i mean I'm not shooting from the hip.
This is something that's proven and factual and known about
white extremists.
They make it a lot more visible in
2022 for me. Facts.
For me, the reasoning.
He wrote on the fucking nose
of the shit. Yeah, he did.
He wrote. He took the Sharpie and
wrote a bunch of shit that I won't say.
Hate crimes are up.
This is not just, oh, we're seeing it more because people have phones.
It's a fact.
You can go to the FBI site and they'll tell you all about it.
Racial crimes have been up a lot in the last several years. No, what I was about to say is it's not new for racists to be in public office.
It's not new for them to be in positions of um authority
no i'm just talking about authority like judges lawyers uh doctors like kk they was talking about
yo imagine the kkk people that was coming with the sheets but then imagine the kk people kkk
people that was ceos or that was doctors letting niggas die on the table or you know what I'm saying?
Shit like that.
They in all areas of society.
Shit, I saw people
asking the question of
when all the Ricos came down
with YSL and everything.
It was like,
why is it KKK now?
Because it's them.
That's why.
Or they cousins.
I want to know.
What do y'all think?
We won this shit.
It's us.
Where did this kid work?
Where did he get to work?
Where did he work?
I don't know.
He's 18 years old.
Where did he get that gun?
Where did he get that gun and that ammunition?
That's a good point.
Where did he get it?
Good point.
These are just questions that I have when these kids walk around with these war weapons.
Man, the more I read into that one, yo, this dude
went to that store multiple times.
Like, this dude
planned this shit out.
Like, the security guard said, yo, my man, what are you doing?
He said, I'm collecting consensus data.
That's what he
told me. And he wrote down, yo, I'm gonna have
to kill that security guard.
To go back to my point earlier about
patrolling the internet in the way that they do and do not do at times.
He didn't just pull this idea of getting this gun and the right kind of shit out of nowhere.
He researched how to get the right tactical gear and the right gun and how to set up the stream.
But how do you...
I'm with you.
How do you effectively police that?
If it's a million people searching up shit on the internet, you can't.
I can't say the word Frigidaire without getting ads on my phone, of course.
I know.
When I open up, I'm going to have an air conditioner waiting right there for me.
Suspect's history.
Neighbors of the Grendren family told ABC News that the suspect is a former student at Broome Community College, part of the State University of New York College system,
a detail confirmed by a spokesman for the school.
Police in Broome County were called by a local high school in June 2021
after they reported that Gringren threatened a shooting at graduation or during that time.
Law enforcement sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News,
can you get out of here
with your exclusive reporting shit following uh following a police investigation that no charges
were filed against grindren who received a mental health evaluation and counseling after the incident
see that's what my beef is stop right there. Right. Because the obvious question, if you're a black person sitting home reading and watching this for years and years and years, knowing the history of this country is.
white person right but you can't ask that because it seems like you're asking something that you're not or implying something that you're not and that's where we always have our conversations
right because white people don't need to ask that about us because every system in place is to protect them from
dangerous black people
or just black people that they feel
uncomfortable around
right and that's where it's tricky
for me when I read this
I instantly thought
of and I didn't watch the clip
damn
man
we should get metal detectors
and put them in front of
tops
grocery stores
think about that
and I said that to myself
and I heard my son
like
excuse me
right
like normally metal detectors
you go through it
cause you wanna make sure that
the people in here are
safe but it's reverse it's like they put them shits around You go through it because you want to make sure that the people in here are safe.
But it's reverse.
They put them shits around when they think black people is coming in about to shoot some shit up.
But like.
We need to just keep them for like him.
Whites need to start telling on each other.
But even even with that, yo, in this instance only, the metal detector wouldn't even have mattered.
No.
Like, he started shooting people from the car.
So metal detector or not, once he started shooting people, he would have came past the metal detector.
He had the gun in his hand.
He wasn't trying to conceal it.
Right.
The metal detector is really only effective when you're stashing.
I wouldn't.
No, I understand your point.
Like, they put the metal detectors where we are.
You just get to thinking.
That's all.
Our schools.
Yeah.
All of that.
They don't have metal detectors in certain community schools.
They don't.
They have them in ours.
I mean.
And as a black man, I don't want to hang my hopes on white people
should start telling on themselves.
I'm not saying on themselves.
I'm talking about to each other
because I can speak
as a white person
that there's been
plenty of times
where some other white guy
comes up to me
and starts saying
some crazy shit
thinking that I
probably just think like him.
That you subscribe to it.
Yeah,
and I think that
any white person
can probably relate to that.
Now,
whether they do anything about it
or say anything about it
or bark back
like even how J.J. Reddick
did on ESPN
to Homeboy,
even though that was
thinly veiled, different, but the same same um one of my one of my guys that works for
me he uh he's italian but he grew up in bradley court okay the only white boy in the projects
in bradley court in newark and uh he a union taper like the you know sheetrock when they put the white
shit on and he he italian heavy set big
italian and he then got fired off a couple jobs for punching people because all his friends he
don't have a one white friend he never dated a white girl in his life everybody in his circle
is black and he said yo you'll be down south jersey and they'd be on a job and you're just
gonna start talking shit because you think i'm gonna identify with you he's got fired off of mad jobs he's got telling me some story about a white old white couple to call the uber
oh yes you ain't see it they call trying not to watch yeah so this couple called the uber
and the uber guy comes he picks him up they open the door and he says oh thank goodness you speak
english or something like that to that
effect and he was like huh and i'm like no no no i was just happy that you know you're one of us
you speak english and he was like you know what don't don't get in and then they were like what
do you mean he was like that comment was inappropriate and he was like are you serious
and he was like yeah and then he the husband's there the woman the wife said it but the husband is standing right behind her and um and then the husband's like i should punch you
in your fucking face you you nigga lover blah blah blah to the man and then he was like all right
cool i'm calling the cops it was in pa and the people on the restaurant or some store in pa he's
like yeah you guys are the owners right cool i'll make sure to put that on the news and I'm calling the cops to report you
guys. And he's like, so what? I'm punching it.
And he called him a nigga lover.
But then you say shit like, and this is not me saying
it, but you say shit like
in trying to
explore how you solve some of this and
like,
everybody. And everybody gets
pins and needles.
Because you can't say that blasphemy
how could you even think that well yeah yeah i'm with y'all because who wants to do that
but this this is disgusting
it's just it has to be another way right not not as as, again, man, and it goes back to that KKK comment,
as long as they the ones up there empowering office, man.
And you can timestamp that one of those words.
As long as they the ones in office writing these laws and doing X, Y, and Z,
what the fuck can you do?
You can't arm yourself.
More importantly, not writing laws
yeah and that's why we have these conversations you and i especially or you and me you and cory
where i say that it's about inclusion and it's gonna take time because we started from such a
huge deficit that we're gonna be behind the eight ball for some time but i think we're gaining
ground and some people say yes and some people say no i just think that we're going to be behind the eight ball for some time. But I think we're gaining ground.
And some people say yes, and some people say no.
I just think that we're gaining ground because the more people in the room,
the more inclusive the room gets.
That's the only way to potentially.
When you say we're gaining ground, who's the we? The black people, minorities, the disenfranchised.
Some people like AOC.
Some people hate aoc but aoc represents a huge
population of marginalized people that she represents or speaks for from their perspective
and she goes hard and she goes super hard like i don't even i agree with some of the shit she says
and i vehemently disagree with some of the shit she says. However, that particular demo is being represented in Congress.
You get what I'm saying?
And so I think the more inclusive that we are starting to become, I think that's when you see the real change.
And some people will go, well, what they table scraps now?
Sometimes we got to eat them.
It might be one more fuck at the table.
One turn into two, two turn into five.
Like, that's what has to happen, I think, for us to get some level of real equity.
That's my personal opinion.
Like, I just think
that that has to happen.
It's happening slower
than a lot of us would like,
but...
And in the end,
there's the reason why,
well, another reason why
that takes a lot longer
is the flip side to that
is you get one of,
let's say, us in the room,
and you become them.
That happens a lot.
Assimilation.
It does.
So we need ones that'll stay with us once they get in the room.
I wouldn't give a fuck how y'all looked at me if we were just governed the same.
No, but you can't say it.
Why not?
Because that's an oxymoron.
How?
Because them looking at you
in a certain way
is why we're not governed the same
you said I wouldn't give a fuck
how you looked at me
how they look at you
determines how you're governed
so
how we look at
that's why I'm saying what I'm saying
no but you can't have both
if
I get what you're saying
hold on listen to what you said
you might have worded it wrong.
It meant something different.
No, I'm worded the way I want to word it.
But go ahead.
You said, I don't care how you look at me if we're governed the same.
You need them to look at you in a different light to govern you the same.
They don't look at you as you're the same.
Yeah.
It's a meme going around.
And it says, yo, what did you do?
And it's a white boy in the back.
No scars, no bruises, no nothing. He's in cuffs. It's a cartoon it's a white boy in the back no scars no bruises
no nothing
he's in cuffs
and they're back
it's a cartoon
but they're both
in the back of a police car
I saw it
could you take 10 minutes
and tell me about the meme
come on
and so I'm telling them
the meme says
yo what'd you do
and the white boy was like
uh shout out for school
what'd you do
and he was like
oh I had a busted tail light
and the black dude
is beat the fuck up
that is based on perception
and how somebody views you the black dude is beat the fuck up that is based on perception and how somebody views
you the black dudes are automatically viewed as a threat no matter what that's how they look at you
so that's so we can't govern very clear and so that goes into governance no no no no that's not
true this is a chicken and egg conversation i feel like yeah that's yeah no i'm with you that's not
true you can hate black people all day long and uh the rules in which we
have to live by as a society not reflect that that could be your personal choice and your personal
right to run around and hate people y'all y'all are saying that it has to be combined well it's
always been combined that's why we talk about systemic oppression yeah but the view we're not
just talking about how you personally feel right like if you spoke to a lot of black people about what donald sterling said on that tape regarding the
clippers a lot of black people was like hey man was in private he could say what he want
a lot of black people said he was in private that was fucked up she taped him he shouldn't
have lost his whole business we say man foul shit in private i heard a lot of people say that, but the rules and how this is set up, I'm with Park.
This is chicken and egg.
Y'all are right.
It's designed this way because they hate us, but our problem isn't with y'all hating us.
I disagree.
Hey, if he could go shoot 10 people and then somebody else could go shoot 10 people and they both are treated the same a then now we talking
then now we talking that's true but i'm talking about i don't think that ever stops
based on how somebody is viewing somebody i think that the racism the impartiality the unfair
treatment based is based on your view of me if one white kid gets pulled over
he's going 100 and he gets treated like this and one black kid get pulled over and he's treated
like this that's based on the view of black people that the people pulling him over have
and i'ma even i'ma even go further than what you're saying and i don't pretend to know i'm
not an expert in any of this.
But if even that was the case,
then what the hell is he running around shooting people for?
The setup, you got it.
The setup, you got it.
Y'all got it.
Y'all got everything.
You have to have a bigger plan
than, hey, let's just kill them all.
No, because his ideal is,
yeah, we got it, but we losing it.
Him killing 10 people did what?
Nothing.
Nothing.
10 black people.
What did it do to his plan?
Respectfully speaking, in the big scheme of things.
We don't know.
We can't speak to it.
We're not allowed to move.
People lost their lives, but in the grand scheme of things.
I mean, for that murderous, treacherous, nasty little kid.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
In the grand scheme of things, nothing.
He didn't do nothing.
I want to know what he was trying to do.
But, dog.
We will never know.
If he...
I'm trying to think how to word this.
If he really believes this whole replacement theory thing they got going,
and whatever group he subscribes to they
all believe this too all right i went and killed 10 you you you got 30 you got this many you because
this ain't an isolated event so you potentially think he's a sacrificial lamb yeah like that
they're looking at i did my part i'm playing a part in the entire in the big scheme of things it might be
very
a very very small part
but
you did a part
you did a part
and it adds up
and we can shift
and make a difference
that's what it sounds like
this nigga's doing
higher learning
you remember how they
reused the dude Remy
on higher learning
ta-da
they used him
as a flunky
to go do some shit
to get a result
so if you had a whole bunch of
flunkies
carrying out your bidding
you could potentially over
a period of time
make a dent in the population
you don't remember Remy?
yeah I remember him
and they basically used this dumbass.
No, I'm thinking.
They used this dumbass to carry out a task.
They didn't give a fuck about him.
They just used him.
You're a white supremacist.
You're going to eventually get outnumbered.
You are.
Because that's their thing, right?
That's their thing.
If this is the whole manifesto, whatever the fuck it's called,
they want to stop integration from happening,
you're going to lose that battle, I'm sorry to tell you.
You are.
So you might as well... You've already lost.
Actually, you've already lost. Facts.
But if you want to talk about this country specifically,
you're going
to lose eventually.
Worldwide.
Gotta be deeper than just that, man. I wish I knew.
Gotta be more. Gotta be deeper than just that, man. I wish I knew. Gotta be more.
Gotta be more.
I mean, you won't know.
We won't know sitting in this fucking room.
If you control that.
I don't like that manifesto shit.
That shit pisses me off.
Hey, the DC sniper wrote some shit too.
Y'all didn't call it that.
Called it a plan.
Manifesto sound.
Mad, sexy, sophisticated.
Stop far
Manifesto
Yo the wording
Even by the biggest people
CNN
All of the tops
When you start looking
At the wording
It be crazy
No doubt
I think they're all complicit
Absolutely
They're all complicit
There's a little nasty
Nasty ecosystem
Going around
Form
Well not even going around
Just right in front of us.
Both in politics and in media.
You know, the beef between CNN and Fox
and the beef between the right and the left,
the Republicans and the Democrats.
But when they write this shit,
they're on the same team.
Somebody did a split screen
and put two articles up.
And it was like,
18-year-old black man
accused of XYZ
and then 18-year-old black man accused of X, Y, Z.
And then 18-year-old teenager when describing a white kid.
White teenager.
Just little shit like that frames your mind as a kid.
But that goes into the view that Joe talked about and how they view us.
I remember when Katrina was happening.
And they had a white girl and a white guy in the water.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they were carrying, like,
food and shit.
Looting versus... No, they had refugees,
looting refugees versus...
Thieves or whatever.
Like, starving people
looking for...
Yeah.
Pillaging for food and shelter.
And how you word that shit
is based on how you view the people.
Mm-hmm.
So you can't effectively govern if you viewing me as a piece of shit already when I come into your courtroom or when you pull me over.
You're not going to talk to me like an adult.
You're not going to talk to me like the cops talk to us like little boys, dog.
They come to your window with an attitude from the rip.
Where you going?
Sometimes you don't got to say shit.
They already be on 10 see that bothers me
too now they say he's doing critical he's doing data census research census research collecting
data what did he say he was doing um because then y'all show me or they y'all show me all of these
commercials come census time they show me all of these commercials trying to get black people to
do the census and y'all never address why black people don't really feel confident in doing the census.
And in doing that, we can never get the resources that we truly need.
Because we're not doing the census.
I'm not telling you how many people in my house.
I'm not telling you.
I'm not telling you shit.
Go figure it out.
Yeah, but that's how we get our money.
I know.
So, but now we bought the beef.
But we don't trust y'all with what y'all about to do with that information.
That's true.
We do not trust nobody.
We don't trust with what you will do with that information.
And, frankly, how much reason have we been given to trust?
You showed us nothing that says says okay, we got your best
interest in mind.
At all.
Yeah,
it's fucked up.
You mentioned
how they view us
and stuff.
I flashback to
one time
you did a show
SOBs
and we were
heading back to
Jersey
and um,
****
like his ****.
I will blow
nigga anonymity
up on this.
I ain't say,
it's just the greatest
yo can I get a round
of applause for Ish
real quick
let's just take a break
it's just a man at that
yo I got a worker
Samuel
he's Spanish
he was born in 79
on this block
these are views
these are his friends
8 millions of people
we can bleep the name
we'll bleep the name
yo the nigga was
telling you
this platform's huge
we'll bleep the name
but we were leaving and we had just came out I wrote with him it was like his cousin nigga was telling you. This platform's huge. We're looking at it.
But we were leaving and we had just came out.
I rode with him.
It was like his cousin.
It was a group of us in the car.
This nigga's doing,
the cousin of somebody's dropping.
He's doing like 110.
Coming out the tunnel
on Route 3 in Jersey.
We get pulled over.
I'm like,
I'm shitting bricks.
Oh God, here they go.
Well, you stayed up all night
for the traffic ticket so I sure did go ahead got it dismissed the next day but cop comes up to the
car and he yo would you stop me for like attitude like you inconveniencing me nothing happened
you know what I yeah my uncle's a cop something he gave shot him some name said whatever whatever
cop said,

cool,
just slow it down a little bit.
I was blown away
because I'm like,
nigga,
I do 80
and two cop cars
are pulling up
off the rip.
We was doing a buck 10.
We was supposed to be
out that car
and that shit told.
And you was talking

Yeah.
Nothing happens.
Man,
I'm walking from

Put it in the jar.
I was right about everything.
And they won the series.
Anyway, but I'm walking from On View.
I'm walking from On View to Highwood.
I say to the fucking person I'm with, I'm looking around.
It's a beautiful night.
The fucking wind from the water.
It just feels nice out there.
And I'm like, like yo it's a lot
of police out here it's more police like as black people you just you gotta know that's interesting
i wonder what happened around here and i walk in highwood little do i know that they're having a
hennessy event and then shout out to val but that's when i text cory all y'all niggas in there
all the niggas oh, it's a gangster party.
I'm hugging everybody.
And I said, hey.
This is why the cops is here.
Uh-huh.
Now I'm mad.
Yep.
Now I'm mad.
Too bad.
I don't have nothing else to say about it.
Nah, I get it. I get it 100%.
Somebody's been informed That They're congregating
And there's some Hennessy going on
You know Hennessy
Get a nigga a little
On the other side
I'm just saying
A little agitated
A little quicker
My father used to say to me
And I used to laugh him
Out of the room every time
Or just wherever we were
Yo
When you learn
How the world works
You will learn Nothing is by accident here.
Mm-hmm.
Shut up, man.
It's like the 50s and 60s.
You bother me, I'm going to hit that old shit.
We used to really...
We rocking out in that...
Shit went back to the 60s in our lifetime.
I mean, it was always there, but...
Summoned shit, yeah.
I remember having that mentality.
You know what I'm saying?
Talking to my parents the same exact way. You know what I'm saying Talking to my parents the same exact way
You know what I'm saying
They were protesters and all that shit in the 60s
And like oh man we over here chilling
Super integrated crew
We're not even thinking about that shit
And then the last decade
That middle America boy
I'm telling you
That shit is different
And we kind of oblivious
A little bit
Because we just live in a metropolis
Where everybody's really living on top of each other
I'm from here
Yeah
I'm from 40 minutes away from where this man was from
No
I'm not talking about
I'm talking about us
Here
I know
Like and you're down here now
Right
So your neighbor could be Asian
Your other neighbor across the way could be Hispanic
Melton Pot for real Your neighbor could be Like we're're in a melting pot and you could go over there and
get some oxtail yo you're coming over yo bring some coronas bring your a-game we yeah that but
in a lot of places in america fam it is definitely segregated it is definitely segregated even in the
metropolis cities be clear it's still segregated.
More interaction, though.
More interaction.
More interaction.
Definitely more.
Working together, going to college together. I'm talking about states where it's 3% black.
The whole state is 2% and 3% black.
That exists in America today.
For sure.
You start fucking with them Dakotas, Wyoming, shit like that.
Upstate New York.
Yeah, but you saying that. Upstate New York. Yeah, but yeah, you saying that
and I get what you saying.
Yeah,
there's a point to that.
But even in
my hood,
our hood,
that one little stretch,
they got the Spanish gang members
up there.
If you drive straight this way,
the Asians got the whole
land, the market,
this, that.
The people that get the permits
to put the buildings up.
And yeah, I feel safe.
We're forced to integrate, though.
Even in everything you're saying,
you're right.
Everybody has their little stretch,
but we're forced to integrate.
You're going to see,
every day you come out your door, you're going to see some asians you're too great of a monopoly player for this no listen to what i'm saying if i don't have no property in the board how long can
i integrate with you i'm not listening to what i'm saying i'm talking about something different
every day you come out your door you're gonna see white people black people spanish people asian
people every day if you stay outside your door more than an hour, you're going to see them where you live. I'm talking about motherfuckers that never see black people.
Never seen a Hispanic person in their life.
Oh, I wasn't touching on that.
That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, I wasn't touching on that.
I don't know nothing about that.
And so that ideology mentally is being fueled by the shit that you're seeing on TV because you don't have to integrate with them.
Joe, you're not a racist dude because you talk to motherfuckers on a day-to-day basis.
I've seen you walk
through something.
Yo, man,
how your muscles get that big, man?
What I got to do to do that?
You seen me flirting
with some niggas?
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
But even in that,
on the flip side of that,
because I can't speak
to what Isha's talking about,
I didn't grow up that way.
Like, I wasn't in that.
But today, right,
the black people that I see
when I walk out the door
and look out
that ain't
that's an altered
that's altered perception
that ain't reality
when I see
the black people
these are black people
that have excelled
in their fucking
their career path
did awesome
and decided to put
a fish tank
and all white marble
in the kitchen
like
there's also mad racist people that ain't like in Queens alone they come from where you come from no facts awesome and decided to put a fish tank and all white marble in the kitchen.
There's also mad racist people.
That ain't like in Queens alone. They come from where you come from.
So their mentos aren't that. I'm talking about
the mental capacity
of these people.
You know what I mean?
I don't know where this boy's from. What's the name of his city?
Conklin, I believe it's called.
And he knew that it wasn't enough
black people to kill around here
So they said he made
A conscious effort
To drive the fucking buffalo
So where he's growing up
His next door neighbor
Might not be the cool black kid
That sleeps over my house
That's what I'm talking about
And that feeds that shit
That's what I'm talking about
It definitely does
It definitely does
I'm with you there
Like you force
When you start going to college On big campuses, like, you go to University of Maryland, University
of Michigan, fucking LSU, shit like that.
Bro, you have no choice but to be dormed up with some mixed race.
You're not just all around all blacks.
You're not just around all whites.
And now, guess what?
Y'all might be in a group.
All that being said, though, Queens is the most diverse
county, I think, in the world
and there's some racists
right over there.
Of course it is.
You know what I'm saying?
Of course it is.
But you get what I'm saying?
There's going to be racists
all over the place.
Yeah, everywhere.
There's going to be racists
all over the place.
Divisiveness has been going around
since the beginning of time.
And there's no way
to really spot them
or point them out.
No.
In Africa, it was tribal.
You know what I mean? Like, you go to DR,
it's certain Dominicans that don't like these Dominicans.
You go to India, some Indians
like these and they don't fuck with the other ones.
It's just divisiveness is everywhere you go.
You can't stop it.
See?
I'm not trying to stop divisiveness.
I'm trying to stop all others.
We can be divisive. I'm an introvert, yo.
I'm all for people wanting to be alone and not fucking with people.
It's the extras.
It's the other stuff.
Like access to these weapons.
Laws that incentivize these people to do these criminals.
But that's my thing, right?
You think, you think think it's just arrogance you think the people that you murdered that this dude murdered don't have
nobody in the family that's willing to ride i don't i never think that i never think that i
often go to me and the people i know when like that type of you you're going to do something to somebody's family, yo, and somebody's going to take a ride.
But now we got to think about
the system that we got to deal with
when we take that ride.
We won't be able to go do that and get your gun back
and ask for it.
Huh?
All right, let me turn this music up.
Yo, rest in peace to those
that tragically lost their lives in tops.
I don't wish that on anybody.
Prayers, thoughts, warmth, and love to the families that have to now deal with that.
And all the people that were just in the grocery store shopping that had to witness that.
And the people, yeah, the survivors.
It's traumatizing.
Change your life.
What?
Life-changing day.
Life-changing day, and it didn't have to be.
It's extremely unfortunate, and I hope to not have to report on this type of shoot.
Yeah, yeah, honestly.
I think Brandy or Rip Jack Harlow. Wait, yeah, honestly. I think Brandy
will rip Jack Harlow.
Wait, wait, what happened?
I think Brandy
will get him.
They want to do a versus?
He don't want to do that
with Brandy.
I don't want to do that
with Brandy.
I don't know.
He don't have the longest
night of his life.
No, Jack Harlow
learned on air
that Brandy and Ray J
were brother and sister.
Yeah.
Well, more notably,
that's what the headline said.
More notably,
he just didn't recognize
Angel in Disguise
to be a Brandy song.
I'm not mad at that.
He wasn't born.
Yeah, he's a kid.
I was about to say,
how old is he?
He wasn't born.
He's young.
How old is he?
23, 22.
He didn't know nothing
about Angel in Disguise.
I hate that we keep
putting the kids in these spots.
Do you know this Tupac?
Yeah.
This Tupac record?
He's a 24-year-old kid
from Kentucky.
Yeah, come on.
So nothing wrong with that.
But they had a little phone
with that in the headlines
and Brandy responded
the other day saying,
I'll merc this dude
and rap at 43
on his own beats
and then sing his ass to sleep.
Oh, shit.
Don't do that to me.
That's your boo-boo me sing me to sleep
Brandy's angelic voice
wow
see I can have a little fun too
he he all love
now great that she's having fun
but Brandy has rapped
and sounds great doing it
great doing it
that's all I'll say to that
cause I don't think that'll go any further.
Yeah, that's not going anywhere.
Ice, you had 30 topics on your list.
I was just, with the Jack Harlow thing,
I was just really annoyed at everybody saying,
oh, you know, you're in this culture,
you should know this and that.
Like, fam, fam, what do you want him to do?
Go back and research everything that's related to R&B,
rap, black music?
You in this culture. What culture is he he in wait till i start the real podcast i'm gonna tell i'm gonna tell y'all whose culture it is
i told him that y'all keep talking about i literally said why do you think this is y'all
culture yeah y'all sold this culture a long time ago honestly for cheap
and it was a whole argument over that and i'm just like yeah I got it I just left it alone you sold the culture that nigga sold the
culture yes I don't need to watch it I watch drink champs and see the founding
fathers of hip-hop on there mm-hmm what more I need to see hmm
I'll stick up patreon you disagree what is there to say about it
oh yeah we can definitely
go
y'all can talk about it
I'm not doing that
I'm not your race bait buddy
you will not get me
into this
also I want to say
rest in peace
to Lil Key
oh yeah
Atlanta based rapper
passed away
at 24 years old.
And the cause came out that it was liver and kidney failure.
Damn.
So, yeah, it was, like, I saw a lot of his family, his friends, his fans.
It just came out like he passed.
Nobody knew what happened.
Right.
It was real sudden.
You know, he's 24 as a kid.
Mm-hmm.
That's horrible. liver and kidney failure playing a serious stomach pain days before death why people get overlooked when you complain about pain i don't like hearing that afterward like
kevin samuels complaining about chest pain did you see kevin atlanta i know you're not watching
atlanta no man we don't go to the doctor.
We'll just eat it
and suck it up.
Your fucking leg
could be numb for four weeks.
You'll just be walking around
on the funny legs.
You know what I'm saying?
And then
some real serious shit will happen.
We just won't go to the doctor.
Especially black men,
we got to start going to the doctor.
Me included.
Like, we just
overlook certain shit.
But how do you tell us?
It will.
And we won't listen.
We won't listen, though.
We won't listen.
Yeah, you think you're...
You think we can just
tough our way through it.
We've been taught, nigga.
Yeah, that's true.
Toughen up.
Oh, man, it's just gas.
No, nigga, you're having
a heart attack.
Yeah, well...
That's how we rock.
No bullshit.
No, I'm kidding.
You're absolutely right.
Niggas just think
it's normal.
They piss ain't coming out in one line. bullshit. No, you're absolutely right. Niggas just think it's normal.
Piss ain't coming out
in one
line.
Your piss
got a little
sprinkler system
to it.
Shower head
on your
dick.
Yo,
piss straight,
my nigga.
Yo,
pee the right
way,
dog.
Or go to
the doctor one or the other.
Go get that looked at, fam.
Oh, man.
My son definitely learned how to pee on his own.
Lex, he learned how to pee on his own.
Watching you?
No, I got it.
Because they want to be big boys.
Like, so you watch, you know what I mean?
I guess.
They just want to emulate.
I was so happy that he learned that,
who cares where he got it from,
but he started just going
to the bathroom
and doing his own thing.
And I like that as a dad.
Be independent.
Go do your thing.
But,
now,
sometimes he just like
do shit I think
to piss me off.
he's pissed on the whole wall
of the day.
Like,
now you're figuring out
your dick.
Let me see what happens
if I make a little
left this way.
Oh shit,
I could direct this now?
No,
oh shit, you know why you right?
Because sometimes I try to get fancy like an idiot,
and I won't stand directly in front of the toilet.
Like, I stand sideways and try to be Steph Curry with the piss
because it's a smaller basket.
I try to be Lethal Shooter.
Oh, my God.
Steph Curry with the piss, boy.
Yeah, so he going that try to piss from
the fucking side then you can't do that takes years of skill and training yo jesus man shout
out to my baby uh anyway b-real is mad at versus yeah and i don't think swiss went to that uh
that uh onyx versus uhpress Hills. Did Swiss go?
I don't know.
B-Real's upset, and I kind of agree with him.
He basically said, like, this Versus wasn't streamed on Instagram Live.
It was completely behind the paywall.
This is the first one to be completely behind the paywall.
So he said they took the versus and pretty much
made this a side act
to their boxing event.
That's what they've been doing.
No, no, no, no.
They only did it
the other way around.
Oh, you're right.
The boxing opened up
for the versus.
But they still promoted
this as the versus.
This was
a trailer fight night
and we got a
Cypress Hill Onyx
versus happening.
So it was like they gave us the backseat to it and you put it behind a paywall so not a lot of people saw it so yeah he was upset
i've read someone tweeting that they did a different format tour apparently they did like
three songs and then three songs yeah i heard there was a different format all the way down
to the corner cypress did three songs and then onyx did three songs. And you had to save your hits for the
end or something.
There was a list of rules that they had this time.
I said what I said last episode.
Same. I ain't coming here to
tell y'all what I heard about it. I didn't see
a peep about it and I wasn't looking for it.
Mm-hmm.
That got me already when Fredro
battled Keith Murr.
Which is still one of the greatest battles in history down around. Oh, but we got another one coming up. We'll talk about some more. that got me already when Fredro battled Keith Merck. But as...
Which is still
one of the greatest
battles in history
down around.
Oh, but we got
another one coming
and we'll talk about
some more.
Oh, I knew you.
You good.
But as a participant
here, I understand
his frustration.
Like, dog,
I came here
versus doing
what it's been doing
for the legacy acts
and y'all hide
that shit over here
where nobody sees it?
Right. The fuck was the point of this
he got paid
be real it's the man yo
he is
Cypress Hill is
underrated
group
he got paid
I like seeing them
get disrespected
I'm sure
I'm sure they get paid
but both Cypress Hill
and Onyx are disrespected
on the totem pole of
hip hop
I think they got thrown into like shit that white people like category both Cypress Hill and Onyx are disrespected on the totem pole of hip hop.
I think they got thrown into shit that
white people like category.
It did. Both of them.
Which means they sold a whole lot of records,
but they didn't necessarily get the
critical acclaim.
No, the hood acclaim.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The hood acclaim.
I feel him, though, and I understand.
I get that. I understand.
And it probably wasn't marketed
to them that way.
You know what I mean?
They probably didn't even know
until the last minute.
They thought it was versus versus.
Yeah, they thought it was
the same shit.
Like dog, y'all got us.
We not even on IG.
YouTube nothing.
Y'all have had other
versus joints
that was on the
the Triller app
but you also streamed it
on Instagram.
Mm-hmm.
You cut that for us.
Why do you think they do that? So it think they do that they want the subscriptions over here
at some point we have to
allow Versus to make their money
for sure
so they did their deal
and got their money
now Triller
has to get their money
so you're not going to subscribe
to Triller if you go watch this for free on the gram?
Yeah.
They do that.
They tried to first off, when they first did it, you get different camera views.
You get the whole show.
Higher quality production.
Yeah, yeah.
You got that.
And it wasn't enough.
This shouldn't have been the first one that they did that on.
I mean, someone has to be, unfortunately, though.
Somebody's going to be the first one.
On a bigger one but they should've they should've like did a
a whole festival
damn near a versus
to make it
more appealing to people
that would actually
show up and pay
cause if this was
an undercard
or the main card
and there was a bunch
of other shit
happening that day
that I cared about
I probably would've
paid the three dollars
again I think
they running low
on people that's
willing to do this
oh I think that
like if
just hypothetically
if they did the
fucking you gotta subscribe we give you the Chris Brown Usher versus the subscriptions would've went through and low on people that's willing to do this. Oh, I think that, like, just hypothetically, if they did the fucking,
you got to subscribe,
we give you the
Chris Brown Usher versus.
The subscriptions
would have went
through the window.
You can't do that with this
as your first
versus behind the paywall.
Yeah, and again,
no disrespect to these gentlemen.
Yeah, I just think
it's bad business.
No, no, it's not.
Not a shot at them at all.
Those are legendary groups.
Unfortunately.
That's a damn shame though.
Yeah,
you just don't do that to,
like you said,
somebody's gonna have to be
the first group.
You don't really want to start
with a,
I don't want to call them
smaller,
but
most people cannot name
20 songs from either group.
Correct.
There you go.
I can't. Especially, Cy you go. I can't.
Especially Cypress Hill.
I don't know the name of the Onyx songs, but I could probably sing 20 songs.
I don't know.
Again, that just tells me I think that Versus is slim pickings at this point.
Yeah.
I will always disagree when y'all say that.
It's not slim pickings, yo.
Slim pickings for what
they want to pay.
Oh, that's a different thing.
That's what I'm talking about.
They have to make their money.
Okay, but that has to be
acknowledged by the fan base, right?
When they was over at Apple,
we're speculating here.
We heard a few artists
come out and say,
yo, we got a bag.
And we know the type of bags
that went around.
Then they sold.
And then we heard, I think that was 3-6 come out?
Oh, not 3-6.
Swiss came out and was like, yo, y'all are charging.
Y'all want money that y'all are not even getting at your show.
You want us to pay it.
What he's saying there is, yo, I got my deal.
I got mine now.
I'm not taking mine and going to dump it back to now pay y'all.
This is a Triller thing now.
It's not even my thing.
I came up with the IP and I
could be wrong.
Because I don't need people I know calling me.
I'm just saying.
I came up. No, Swiss is on a yacht.
The big one with Magic Johnson
somewhere. It ain't the little tiny
rapper yacht that we on.
He lives in Iron Man's house.
We need another name for those. I live in Iron Man's house, yo. You can't call them little ones yachts that we on. Like, they on. We need another name for those, too. He lives in Iron Man's house. We need another name for those.
You got to stop calling them
Little Ones Yachts.
I live in Iron Man's house, yo.
The Menno.
You can't call them
Little Ones Yachts, man.
The Menno.
After you see the real yacht,
it's just a boat.
Nah, nah, yeah,
I get another name for it.
Nah, shit, it's the Menno
from Gilligan and the...
Yeah, something else.
Yeah.
Nah, that's real.
I'm just saying,
it got to be a new name.
They just said they on the yacht
and where's the rest of the yacht?
Yeah, these fans are fucking nuts.
Hey, this morning I tweet,
I say uh
hey JJ Redick
and Pat Beverly

I got at least
20 people to hit me back
and say
yo you a network
get it poppin
alright you're right
you're right
you're right
play it out with me
I wish y'all
could not be fans
and like we could
do this more often in real time.
How much does one of them cost?
A lot.
And even if I had it, would I want to lose it?
Would I want to go get it?
You're right, it's an investment.
But now we at the negotiating table just that fast.
Hey, Pat Benfrey, I don't want to put numbers on him,
but it's going to be seven and not one.
J.J. Redick, hey, pull out my little calculator.
It's probably going to be seven figures, not one.
I probably need a real nice set for that.
I probably want to call J. Will and get him in the mix too.
I'm talking about probably a $10 million, $15 million outfit.
If you had it, would you want to put your feet in the ground
and go do that work
or spend your money?
That's true.
And hope the ESPN picks that up
and just watches.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it as a fan.
I'm with y'all.
They do need a show.
They should get their own shit, yo.
Do that. Y'all get their own shit yo do that
yo y'all get that pop

yeah
I would love to watch that
these fucking fans man
these fans are great

Pat Bev I'll watch whatever he's on and what I mean not really yes pay Pat Bev Tom Brady contract, for all I'm concerned. He's been up there. Not really. But Pat Bev.
I'll watch whatever he's on.
And what I mean, not really.
Yes, pay Pat Bev Tom Brady money.
Fuck I'm talking about, huh?
What the fuck out of here?
He got on there and just was.
Him and J.J. Reddick are great together.
That's all I have to say.
I don't even know what to say.
They have different viewpoints
but they both get right to it
he spent the whole
he did like multiple shows
I didn't like him dissing CP3
though I thought that was funny
I like that first
everyone was like
yo Parker's gonna go in there
and kill CP3
I'm like I feel bad now
actually
like
my man was getting
slaughtered
um
I don't know y'all
they call them what do They call him a street.
What do you call him?
A cone.
Call him a cone.
When you see the cone there, and you make a move, what the cone do?
That's not nice.
That's what he said.
All defensive teams, seven times.
Like, stop.
Stop.
Nine times.
Stop.
Yeah, stop it.
What the fuck you talking about?
There you go.
Stop it, man.
Know what I don't like?
He just don't like this.
This is what I don't like.
This is what I don't like. Go. Oh what I don't like. This is what I don't like.
Go.
Oh.
I don't like that.
You not good.
Be clear.
Every nigga in the NBA is good.
Every nigga in the NBA
could walk in any summer league
in the world and drop 50.
But now we're talking
apples to apples.
You not good.
Compared to your...
The nigga that you are criticizing
is a first ballot hall of famer
one of the top 10 point guards to potential yeah he's probably gonna be strong and saying one of
the top 10 point guards to ever play basketball you can't sit there as a point guard and critique
him get the fuck out of here yes you can no you can't not to me he can't why and and because if
he if you listen to cb, where does that put you?
You're saying what Matt Barnes said.
Matt Barnes was like, we're both role players.
CP is too accomplished for you to speak on him that way.
Indeed.
I agree with that.
Okay.
But Pat Beverly can critique the game in a way that the other analysts cannot.
I agree with that.
Pat Beverly sees things in a way that the other analysts have not.
Not JJ.
Yeah, JJ too.
He sees things differently.
That's what makes it great because it's two players,
and they both have all the respect in the world for each other.
JJ Redick, every time he's about to make a point, he says,
Pat, and you know this.
Yeah.
He keeps saying,
you've been in the locker room.
There is a,
like me,
I am not anywhere near
as accomplished
as some of the people
I talk about.
I don't talk about them
because I think that
and I get that
I get some hate from fans
because it's like,
all right,
you sound like a hater
because you never reached
that amount of success.
But the truth of the matter is, no, I've just been there.
Sure.
And I see it differently.
I'm just giving you a different way to look at it because I was in the locker room.
I was in the game.
I know the end of working in the system.
Pat Bev can do that.
He can.
Now, what he should not do, but this is his first time as journalist man sitting here.
What you should not do, and you have to learn this, is to bring your personal gripes to your job and you're a rat you're right yeah you're
at it on poor george come on man like yo dog this is my thing no you are a rapper you're a recording
artist so there's intimate knowledge that you have about being a recording artist, but you have never gotten to the level of a Kanye,
of a Drake, of a Jay-Z.
So even in you being a recording artist,
there's still unknowns to you
because there's certain things that they had to deal with
at the height of their careers or throughout their careers
that you have never had to deal with.
And it's the same for him.
I tap out when it's above my pay grade sometimes.
But on the flip side of that coin,
yeah, I've never reached that amount of success.
But I've sat next to Drake and had conversations to where I might know some of the thinking.
Indeed.
I've sat next to Jay-Z.
I might know his thinking.
I might know what the greats think in some of them.
I know personal things about some of these people.
Or what their stance would be on a specific topic. You're privy to different things. Yeah, I agree. That's all of them. I know personal things about some of these people. Or what their stance would be on a specific topic.
You're privy to different things.
Yeah, I agree.
That's all of them.
So what I'm saying is
there's some commonality.
And I don't like when they do that.
They shit on Kendrick Perkins.
They shit on...
He won one.
He won one.
Perkins killing it, too.
No, he was a role player.
He's doing great.
He's a good role player.
But when you do great in this seat,
it's because you got to come
and do that
and maybe alienate
some friends
some people you have
relationships with
some teams that were
good to you
right
like
it's a tough spot
it's a tough spot
Pat Bev gave it up
a little too much
I'm with you
it's like you said Joe
he was disrespectful
he brought his personal
shit to it
he brought his personal
shit to it
but you can even do it
and that's where you're right
I can't be disrespectful
to Jay Z you can't do that. And that's where you're right. I can't be disrespectful to Jay-Z.
You can't do that.
Ever.
Kobe, like there's some people that have earned.
It's just blasphemy, dog, to say some certain shit.
Y'all got to shut up about them.
Yes.
Like they.
That's what I mean.
It's different.
I think bringing personal shit is fair game.
I feel like you, I think all of us have brought some personal shit.
Yes, you have.
It's about drawing a line at disrespect when you bring the personal shit in there.
I can't sit around.
We might harp on someone that you wouldn't normally harp on.
But you can't, because Pat Beverly's a starting, well, he ain't even a starter, but Pat Beverly's
a point guard in the NBA.
Pat Beverly has never bore the burden of carrying a franchise on his shoulders, ever.
He's only been a role player in the fucking NBA.
Right. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. And you just starting to get that because you kind of mouthy and now you sound like charles
barkley who said if you're not driving the bus and shut the fuck up you know i don't i don't
even believe in that i don't believe in that again there's some commonality they share the
experience they've been to college they've been high school all americans etc etc but now you
can't talk about certain shit you never had to experience. There's this girl over there that works.
Pat Beverly's never had to experience carrying a franchise.
Chris Paul has carried four.
That's true.
Shut your fucking ass up, my nigga.
All right, come on.
Let's move on from Pat Beverly because I do have other sports shit that I want to ask y'all.
Also, on ESPN, you know, we have recency bias.
They start talking about who's the best player left.
Who's the best player left in the playoffs.
And it was Luke all across the board.
Are they out there, man?
Who would you like to have the ball in their hands with the game on the line?
What's his name? Wardell?
Wardell, right?
What's his name?
Wardell?
How you say it?
I think it's Wardell.
I don't even introduce
his name
to these topics yo
like what the fuck
and I understood
their thinking
but
I don't
no
as long as Wardell
is playing
why am I talking
about Luka
why am I talking
about anybody else
in best player
let me throw this out there
hot take
that's not such a hot take
cause I told y'all
what Wardell does
he hears this I told y'all what Wardell does.
He hears this.
I told y'all that.
And he get mad.
And he say,
mental note.
Now, you're facing a killer.
But he's a young killer.
You might not know all the intricacies of the gun yet.
But,
mark my words.
I might even bet this one
because I've been picking two right.
They're going to smack them
one of these first games.
Dallas's.
I mean,
go to the stadium
and blow them out.
One of these games,
and if not the blowout,
Steph's going to do something
that you've never seen before.
Game one.
Unless he did.
I'm with Parks.
They have an extra
couple days off too.
I heard all that shit
y'all been saying.
I heard it.
All right.
Because this is the cheat code with the Warriors
and I'm getting off of sports.
Is Steph on the offensive end
and Draymond on the defensive end?
That's the one player.
Is Steph's ability with Draymond leading?
Is Draymond heart with Steph?
Hey, Luka gonna have to deal
with Draymond at the end of the game.
On him, defending him. Hey, do that to him.
If you win, you win that matchup.
But now Steph gets to roam free for the game.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I see what that did to Drew Holiday in that series, having to be Mr. Man on offense and then guard the best player on defense.
It's tiring.
Go ahead.
I'm agreeing with you.
I think one, Draymond has not had to deal with somebody like Luka.
I mean, just go ahead.
What?
Because he's the back-to-back MVP.
Y'all tell me Jovic's the man every week.
He's not sticking, Jovic?
Guess the fuck he did.
All right.
He did.
I just want you to be informed that you're saying he's playing.
Luka brings the ball up.
Luka hits the three off the dribble.
Luka takes you off the...
It's a different ballgame.
I'm not dissing Draymond.
I like Draymond.
I think Draymond's the engine for the team.
I think the X factor for Golden State is going to be pool.
I think the X factor for Golden State is going to be pool. I think the X factor for Golden State is going to be pool.
I think Steph's not going to be a-
Oh, you think they need an X factor to beat Dallas?
Yeah, yo.
Dallas ain't no chumps.
I think this is what I think.
Listen, hit me up.
Warriors are fine.
Maybe.
Maybe six.
Maybe six.
No, I think Golden State will win.
No, no.
They take a game off.
I don't think it's going be I don't think it's gonna be
as sweet as we think
they're gonna get up 3-1
and then go have a
great night
and chill out
they're gonna win
and get a farm
I don't think it's gonna be
as sweet as we think
I think it's gonna be
close games
I think that
if
cause Steph gotta play D
it's sweet the rest of the way
unless Boston
makes it to the finals
Steph gotta play D
unless somebody on
Golden State get hurt
I don't see
this is sweet the rest of the way for Golden State unless Boston gets there to make final. Steph got to play D.J. Unless somebody on Golden State get hurt, I don't see. This is sweet.
The rest of the way for Golden State,
unless Boston gets there to make it tough,
because matchups make fights.
Boston is a good matchup for them.
Boston can't beat them.
No.
No, I don't think they can.
No.
Nobody left can beat them.
Personally.
I picked them before the season started.
You did.
That's where I'm at.
I think Boston is tough with their perimeter defenders
and the big dudes down
low like Horford and Robert Williams.
No, the thing with Boston is...
And the black coach. I love the black coach. The Jokers that
are really, really, really good
offensively, you kind of neutralize
them a little bit when you make them play D.
In most instances,
Steph don't really be having to
D nobody. You feel me? He got to D them niggas in Dallas really be having to D nobody.
You feel me?
He got to D them niggas in Dallas.
He has to D them in Dallas.
Brunson can get 30.
Dinwiddie can get 30.
He has to play D in Dallas.
So we're going to see how it neutralizes him if it does.
Who's going to have to play more D?
Dallas.
Yeah, who gets tired first?
Yeah.
Hey, we both got to play D,
and the man I'm sticking just started pulling from the other dotted line But that's not that don't tire you out
Brunson them be attacking the basket that tires you out, you know, brother be down here with the giant
Steph Curry is probably the best ever at moving without the wall
That shit's annoying watching him, yo.
Ray Allen. Yeah.
Rip Hamilton.
They move.
Know what I'm saying?
Top three.
Without the ball.
Wow.
So you don't put Reggie in the top three?
Reggie's number two or one.
Ray Allen.
Ray Allen.
Ray Allen moves without the ball amazingly.
And Rip Hamilton ran that baseline.
Ray Allen is not in that mix.
All right.
He's number four.
That's the mix.
Could be.
Ginobili's in there too.
Without the ball?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
Nah, nah.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Round of applause.
Round of applause, man.
Congratulations.
Shout out to Omar Cook.
Shout out to Omar Cook.

Don't go Googling stuff.
You know what I mean
nah
not only that he broke some type of
you got some type of record let me see what's going on
Omar Cook number 4 all time
in assists average in EuroLeague
bids an emotional farewell to basketball
I know he's still playing
he was tough
but even that's why I'm congratulating him
for us to be outside having to deal with Omar playing. He was tough. But even that's why I'm congratulating him. No, he was tough.
For us to be outside
having to deal with
Omar Cook
as a top New York athlete
and then to see
the end of his career.
Like, we ain't that old, yo.
Look at Omar Cook.
No, he was tough.
Look, he crying
saying goodbye.
I love that, man.
Shout out to Omar Cook.

Imagine that.
Yo, I played basketball

This is all I did.
And goodbye now.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that's sad.
Why are you crying?
Yeah.
He's been the man.
He's been the man.
From high school.

From high school.
Being the man.
From high school.
Yeah, come on, man.
Come on.
Shout out to Omar Cook.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
What a career.
Ice, did you have some more shit? LeBron? LeBron's albums? Come on. We can end this thing, man. We can end this. on shout out to Omar Cook congratulations congratulations what a career um I said you
have you had some more LeBron LeBron's albums come on we can end this thing man we can end this thing
we can get we can take the patreon so I was like I said Parks LeBron James top five albums ever made
the chronic doggy style black album life after death and um it was written but i have so many more to name for real he forgot
uh he forgot a few but that's fine he could say he definitely could say huh i'm not i'm not mad
at them that's a nice one before y'all answer this or speak to this did y'all see the meme
going around now i'm meme culture reporting that fucking drives my
gears grinds my gears i'll tell you um did y'all see that little meme that went around about hey
why every time lebron james reading the book he's on page one yeah i've seen that every single and
they went and found every picture it's always page one so you don't think you ever made past
the intro on none of these?
Don't do that. I'm just saying, looking at this list, now, I won't try to ever play LeBron because I
do believe that he really listens to a lot of music.
A lot of music.
I believe that.
You don't be seeing him, Jimmy?
But this list just looks like I took the album I think is best from the people I think are
the best.
It definitely, it don't throw you.
It don't throw you for a loop.
It does not.
But when you listen,
all right,
you got to remember his age.
And when you look at top five all time
from his age,
that's not it.
Why not?
Because Black Album ain't Hov's
first or second best album.
There are people like myself who have Black Album as Hov's number one.
I don't talk to people like y'all.
I'm just telling you that there are people that I get it.
Everybody with a reason to doubt.
You don't have to.
We still talk, though.
We still got voices.
But you ain't livid.
You witnessed it from your folks pad, scribbled in your notepad, and created your life.
It's still our favorite.
It's number one for us.
I'm not mad at that.
How old is Bron?
My age.
How old are you?
37.
37.
You're one of them.
The Chronic and Doggy style, Bron was 12?
10.
9, actually, probably.
I think he went and did the science on that.
I do believe him to have done the science.
I'm just saying.
That's 84.
Chronic and Doggy.
Those are not far-fetched
to have done the science on.
No, on those two.
Chronic and Doggy style.
I ain't like the um
before it was written either.
I ain't like the um.
I like that five.
The Black Album
don't belong in this conversation
same
same opinion
that's my only complaint about it
mine too
if I have to find a complaint
but I know a lot of people
love that album
yeah
like
it's when I do my Jay Z
albums in ranking
or the black album
is always one
what can you say
to the person
that says that
it's his opinion
it's not my opinion black album not even in my top three or four Jay Z albums what can you say to the person that says that? It's his opinion.
It's not my opinion.
Black Al, I'm not even in my top three or four, JZ.
I don't know if it's in my top six.
That's perfectly fine.
It might not be.
The more I'm thinking about it.
Hold on, let's go through this.
Now, I have a hot take opinion about Hov's catalog that I just don't share,
but I might have said it before.
What's that? I don't know if I might have said it before. What's that?
I don't know if I'm ready
to say it right here.
I don't think Reasonable Doubt
is the greatest album.
Me neither.
Is Jay-Z's greatest album?
I don't.
I don't think it's his greatest album.
I don't think it's
the greatest album.
I don't feel like that
about that album.
No, that's your hot take.
Me neither.
That's high on my list.
That's number one or two on mine.
Yeah.
You can switch that in Blueprint
depending on what day it is. Shit. See, switch that in Blueprint. Depending on what they do.
Shit.
See, I like...
Volume 1 is also very high for me.
I'm also weird because Dynasty is very high for me.
Dynasty is high.
Dynasty is super high for me.
Dynasty is high for me too.
American Gangster is a great album.
American Gangster is a fire album.
It's a great album.
So look.
Ooh, this is good.
I'm the Jay-Z guy.
Mm-hmm.
American Gangsta is amazing
lyrically
sonically
it's to me
I'm getting scared
I think I know
where you're going
yeah I'm getting
my sleep early
I'm getting my sleep
I'm getting my sleep
I'm getting my sleep
I'm getting my sleep
I'm getting my sleep
it's Kendrick Esk
I know that's where
he was going
and I love American Gangsta he's he was going and I love American Gangsta
he's saying that
the lyrics
I love American Gangsta
does not really make
good songs
I love American Gangsta
but it's Kendrick-esque
I'm looking for a sleeper
so
I know where you're going
it
I'm a volume one dude
me too
same
niggas be dissing
volume one fam
I don't know how or why
you like volume one super hard niggas be dissing Volume 1, fam. I don't know how or why. You like Volume 1?
Super hard.
Niggas be dissing Volume 1.
That's number three on my list.
I told y'all, my whole hot take.
I like Volume 3 too.
Niggas don't be liking Volume 3 and Volume 1.
I like Volume 3.
Volume 3 is bottom three on my list.
And that's...
Yeah, yo, you was looking at the light bulb.
We can fight about Hov on Patreon.
I think we've had this exact fight.
We've had this fight.
We had a fight.
We had a fight. What are we doing? I like that Nas had this exact fight. We had the fight. We had the fight.
I like that Nas had
it was written.
I mean,
that Braun had it
was written over Illmatic.
I agree.
Yeah,
Braun is 12.
Again,
you can't tell a person
they wrong for what
they got.
Yes, you can.
No, you can't.
No, you cannot.
No, you can't.
I just see where
he's coming from.
Same here.
But that's fine.
You can still tell
somebody they wrong. You don't have to be right when you tell somebody they wrong. You can't tell I just see where he's coming from. Same here. But that's fine. You can still tell somebody they wrong.
You don't have to be right when you tell somebody they wrong.
You can't tell me that, yo, to me, this album is better than this album.
You can't tell me that.
You can't.
No, you can't.
That's I can't.
All right.
You can't.
You can say it.
Exactly.
That's what we just said.
We can say it.
Oh, but you won't be right in saying that.
You have to be right.
Yeah, you can say whatever you want.
You can say whatever you want.
So?
But see, certain albums you
felt them so if you wasn't outside when they really drop and that's why but that's why i gotta
be careful about reasonable and that's why i was outside that's what it did and that's what i
understand though how could how could you really feel the chronic i don't have you didn't feel
what i'm not saying you brown was a kid the chronic was the chronic it was a feeling it was a movement
it was like the south was i mean the west was like yo we here niggas the chronic was the chronic it was a feeling it was a movement it was like the south was i mean
the west was like yo we here niggas the chronic was exquisite i was a kid and felt chronic yeah

Well, maybe not.
He was 12. 1991?
92.
92, 93.
He was 12.
When it hit Jersey, I was in sixth step of grade.
That sounds about right.
I know that.
That sounds about right.
Yeah, because I had a little radio.
That's how I remember some music, yo.
Me too.
I remember what grade I was in.
I remember all of that. I remember everything. But I'm just saying, like, for us, it was videos. Because that's when the nothing some music yo me too I remember what grade I was in I remember all of that
I remember everything
but I'm just saying
like for us

I remember that
that's what introduced me
to a lot of shit

at that list
I'll switch maybe
two albums off of that
but three out of five
I'm rolling

I would take The Chronic out.
I'd put Good Kid, Max City.
These are just my favorite rap albums ever.
And Life After Death would come out for me.
Put what?
Wow.
I'm not even saying what I'd put in there.
Eazy-E?
No.
No, shit, go.
No, it's just my favorite.
It's just a stupid band. I'm not saying what I'd put in there. What you'll put? I'm not my favorite. It's just so stupid, man.
I'm not saying what I feel.
I'm not saying it.
It's us.

It's four cameras with millions of motherfuckers.
No, it's not us.
Oh, man.
You letting the fans.
Not you.
Oh, I've changed.
You not letting the fans give you your opinion, my nigga.
101.
Oh, man.

Look at the world's coming to.
To answer your question.
You must know.
I knew that. 101. Oh, Jeezy. Yeah, 101. Jeezy. Jeezy. That was a good album, man. 101 goes in there for me. Look at the world's coming to. To answer your question, if you must know. I knew that.
101.
Oh, Jeezy.
Yeah, 101.
Jeezy.
That was a good album, though.
That was a good album.
Ice need to be from New Orleans or somewhere.
Like, every time he say something about hip hop, I get mad.
Why?
Because.
He had the no limit chain, for real, in real life.
But look.
He really did.
But look, look.
See, the problem with that is my era
we got all the hip hop
from everywhere
the world started
becoming smaller
around my era
like yeah
y'all
was literally
just the music
that was made
in your region
so casting LA
was only here and that
casting the bay
was only here and that
casting Miami
was only here and that
once
we started coming into our own and the music videos and the internet started that casting the bay was only hearing that casting miami was only hearing that once the once we
started coming into our own and the music videos and the internet started rolling out a little bit
more the world became smaller so now i'm hearing music from here from there from there i'm telling
you bro that's what like 89 it started blending in a little bit more that's when ice cube and
them drop 89 90 i was a freshman i remember west coast hip
hop started to really infiltrate over here 89 90 but a lot of that and again a lot of that time
there was music their music videos were infiltrating over here that's true just
hearing the music that's true no snoop and dre were huge mtv that's what that's what before them NWA had videos 100 miles a minute
and all that shit
they were MTV
mainstream
afternoon
Yo MTV Rap
started going to LA
and started interviewing
rappers and shit like that
so that was our introduction
we were watching something
that I've never heard before
that's true
I ain't never heard
this type of shit before
yo MTV Rap
was real influential
and bring in West Coast
and just
and just combining
the world was a lot smaller by in West Coast and just combining the world was a lot
smaller by the time
we started coming into it
if you didn't learn
from outside
then I judge you
that's with me
that's a me
I know that that is
something that I do
that I should get better at
what did you say
if you ain't learn
your hip hop from outside
if you ain't learn
your hip hop from outside
then I look at it away
I look at it away
if you claim to be a hip hop historian.
Because hip hop
and this is I guess
what the younger generation
says to me about Kendrick.
Like Kendrick makes them feel a way.
A feeling that you get
when you listen to Kendrick.
So for me
I felt the way
when the infamous would come on.
I remember being outside all night
with a fucking Walkman on listening to the infamous would come on i remember being outside all night with a fucking
walkman on listening to the infamous i remember uh uh uh me against the world outside all night
standing outside i remember the only one in class playing protect your neck i was the only one going
crazy i remember like you can't you can't learn wu-tang from mtv like you can't learn wu-tang
from remember you can't i they can't even i disagree with all from MTV. Like, you can't learn Wu-Tang from... I remember. You can't.
They can't even...
I disagree with all of that.
I know you do.
I disagree with all of that.
I remember...
I didn't learn Wu-Tang from MTV.
The same way you was the only one in class,
I was the only one in class
playing Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
And they're like,
who these fast rappers?
This was before they was the only nigga in class.
I was.
I know.
Straight up.
Not until that second album came out.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Now, that fucking...
I remember how it ain't hard to tell.
Niggas was walking around the streets,
sneaker oozy on an island
in my army jacket.
I remember how niggas was like,
what the fuck?
Like this nigga was like,
Jesus.
Nas' first two albums,
niggas in our hood
was like,
this nigga is a different type of person.
All right.
They do not need us to unpack glasses.
I'm just saying.
Like, so it's a feeling that you glasses. I'm just saying. Like,
so it's a feeling
that you get.
I look at you a little funny
when you,
just a little bit.
I just say,
let people fall in love
with hip hop
where they fall in love
with it at
and whatever matters to them,
let it matter to them.
Who are we to police?
Oh,
because you wasn't here
when this dropped
and you wasn't living this.
That's what niggas is doing.
He's right.
That's not true.
That's exactly what y'all do. That's not true. It is policing. See, that's some new. That's what niggas is doing. He's right. That's not true. That's exactly what y'all do.
That's not true.
It is policing.
See, that's some new shit
that these new niggas made up.
Nigga, it's policing.
You're gatekeeping.
And I'm not gatekeeping.
You are.
I hate these buzzwords.
It's not a buzzword.
That's what's happening, though.
He's hard with all the buzzwords.
That's what's happening.
Your hip hop wasn't,
or you're not a hip hop historian.
Well, I hate that term.
See, you pulling them,
you full of them.
He said it first. He said that word first. but what i'm saying is you just said i don't
talk i'm not even talking to them who didn't get their hip hop from there don't matter where i got
my hip hop yes it does no it don't yes it does this shit is a part of my life straight up how i
got introduced to it does not matter it does and that's what we did that's
where we on the different side of the we'll differ dang we'll differ i want i want hip-hop
is global you don't become this global by people not being introduced to it from all different
facets of the world right you don't get to expand this way without that agree but how you're
introduced to something or someone is all will always be important that will always be
important what i'm saying is especially especially in hip-hop which started where
outside on the street outside the park so when we talk about losing culture right let's go to
patreon i'm gonna crack your mom no you don't let go to the picture. I just want to say this. I just want to say this.
Where you got your hip hop from has nothing to do with where I got my hip hop from.
Don't matter.
Parks could have got his hip hop from, like you said, it's global now.
So people are pulling from wherever.
Whatever brought you to it is what brought you to it.
Sure.
So whatever make you feel, whatever albums, songs, artists, whatever make you feel the way to where you love hip-hop,
that's for you.
Same shit for you. It don't make you
no better than him. It don't make him no better than you.
It don't make your opinion more valid than his.
It don't make his more valid than yours.
Sure it does. No, it don't.
No, he don't. He right.
I initially agree with you.
I'm not doing this here.
I'm not doing this here. All right, cool.
I'm not doing this here.
For the, for the, for the.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we don't do it for the free.
No, we don't do it for the free.
All righty then.
No.
This little disrespectful thing.
We let Sabrina Claudio get her toxic shit out the way really quick.
We let Sabrina Claudio get her toxic shit out the way really quick I made the perfect you in my head
I should've broke this down on Patreon too
Cause physically you are the blueprint
But internally, god damn, you're a mess Physically you are the blueprint
But internally, goddamn you're a mess
So to stay with you I had to imagine
That he is perfect, anything I give him he deserves it Rarely does he ever come to see me
But anytime he does he makes it worth it
Like I'm dead, gotta love him
And when I'm with you I can't help myself but only think about him
I can't wait myself but only think about him
I can't wait to see him again
I would've hid all her other shoes
I would've pulled the ish move out
Separating those shoes up
I'm taking bags back
Do y'all, you know what?
Oh God, I miss him
I want to know what?
Who she tellin' that to?
That's right.
I wouldn't say the most toxic shit over beautiful music.
Just get away with it My frequent visits would've been nice
But I don't want you knowing that there's somebody new
Sometimes I give a crack at my mind
But is it cheating if I love a better version of you?
Cause he is perfect to anything I give him The visual, the actor playing the boyfriend in the video is who the boyfriend would have
to be in real life to let these bars go off.
Yeah, she'd say that to him. And when I'm with you, I can't help myself I only think about him
I can't wait to see him again
Oh my God, I miss him
And when I'm with you, I'm just thinking about
How much I wish it was him
I can't wait to see him again
Oh
Ooh
My God, I'll miss him.
And when I'm with you, I'm just thinking about how much I wish it was him. I can't wait to see him again.
Sabrina Claudio, better version.
And I don't know
who she's telling that to
wouldn't work
she wouldn't have said that to me
she would have wrote
she would have wrote a note
and left
great
but she wouldn't have been
before I got a hold of her
she's not gonna stand there
and say that to you
she's not gonna stand there
at her girlfriend's house
did you want to FaceTime

That's Nobody, Black Youngsta featuring 21 Savage off that 4Life album.
Alright, I'm gonna play some new Flea Lord featuring Cormega.
This is Pay Homage.
Uh oh.
Baby, we are a long way from being made in God's image.
My dudes were catching bodies, I ain't talking records. We are a long way from being made in God's image
My dudes were catching bodies, I ain't talking records I mean, they were receptive, life's affection, death desires
I whipped the flies, dressed wearing diamonds
And rapid-firing weapons for any rival
Jeopardizing their survival, they'd rather tell the lie
You feel the resentment, but the fear inside was paralyzing
Your man is live, but he was scared and rikers
Acting civil in a savage climate
A real indictment of who he is, you can't deny it
Truth is heavy for liars
Lyrically I'm a thorough reminder of an era so epic it's timeless
Even lions know courses required when venom is vipers
And to decipher it becomes a different environment
Instinct replaces sense of entitlement
I'm the answer to the question like Iverson
I finesse the mic, very inspiring
Handle, give it competition, anxiety
Overwhelms those who think they are lyrically nice as me
Yeah, pray for the evil three
I do wanna call it a trilogy, man
But we been working with legends, man
I feel like we should just keep this shit goin'
Yo, Mega, I appreciate you, whoa
I was slingin' Dons and Nicks
When Mega had the Sterling
Lil' clean two-fifth
Stuff inside the Sterling
I was reppin'
Lil' Wiz right in my sock
Yo, Mega, you a legend in the bridge and the rock
We connected in the game
Now perfection is the aim
It's looking like a mirror, reflection is the same
It's an honor and a privilege, just started and finished
To do a fucking song with godfathers and bitches
Yo, Biscotti and Gelati got me coughing in the lobby
Each verse worth a killing, bring a coffin for the body
I bang on the right, used to slang for survival
Big European thing with my name on the title
Whoa! New music Okay It's um Una featuring Usher Okay This song is called Crush
Shout out to Una
You call me on a lazy afternoon Asking me what I'm up to, let's find something to do
Baby, I'll be down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
