You know what I mean?
But then you wouldn't have been late.
Nah.
Still was ready.
Wasn't here, but ready.
Ah.
Don't you have to be here to be ready?
No.
The mental was ready.
The physical just wasn't here yet.
Ah.
Well, this should be an interesting podcast.
I'll tell you that one.
Tell me more.
I don't know.
I got to think.
I guess we'll pod and find out, right?
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Now, keep in mind, I haven't spoken to anyone here.
Ish hadn't even heard this Beyonce song yet.
Of course not.
But I'm the boss.
How you doing?
Happy Father's Day, Belated.
What are they going to do?
Are they just going to put some bumblebees on your shit?
No, no.
They ain't going to put nothing on my shit.
Mine neither.
I love the record.
Classic.
Let me just cue up Designer.
Somebody.
Alex, how you feeling back there?
You good?
Good, bro.
Erickson?
Good, good, good.
I was watching the old man.
Still got to start.
And you're getting Zen Joe today.
That's the one with, what's his name, right?
Some old dude.
Yeah.
Jeff Bridges, is that his name?
Yes, Jeff Bridges. It is Jeff Bridges.
I'm watching Old Man.
It's only two episodes out.
Fuck me up while I was watching it.
But I'm watching it
and let me see if I can fuck up this guy's
quote. You know, sometimes
the writer's getting a bag in the middle
of the scene with the lights dark
in one of these prolific
moments and jump bridge is a good act and he's probably delivering and he's telling this girl
something to the effect of the wisest man that i know never said a word he was silent for 50
something years something crazy and he was like not because he couldn't talk and not because there wasn't anything to say or
anybody to speak to but he was of the belief that language in sheer design and concept and construct
was only built to deceive and then he went on to add to that point and i don't want to
fuck up what he said but boy when he finished i almost add to that point, and I don't want to fuck up what he said.
But boy, when he finished, I almost ran to the TV and taped it.
Because all of us are just lying.
Everybody's just lying.
Even if you're telling the truth, you don't know it.
Because sometimes they'll flip the definition of a word right in front of your face.
What they say, we all liars
monday one word means one thing tuesday it means something different how you feel about
something wednesday you're liable to feel a different way on thursday it sounds like ice
what i accept for you over here i may not accept from you over here
this is just how this shit goes the ice manifest over here. This is just how this shit goes. This is the Icemanifest over here.
It's just how this shit goes.
So, and I come away from the last Drake pod.
I read all the mean, nasty things you guys said about me.
These guys, I'm dying for an interview.
These guys said I'm pissed.
Well, when you're the only thing real, man,
sometimes you're the only thing fake.
And even today,
no matter what you say,
you could be pandering
to someone.
If someone doesn't agree with your opinion,
you're pandering.
I understand that podcasting,
broadcasting,
this new medium
for many of us out there,
as you begin to build relationships, New medium for many of us out there.
As you begin to build relationships,
ascend, grow,
make some more money,
travel a bit more,
be welcomed.
So many of you want to be welcomed.
Get DM'd by celebrities. That's such a big thing with you guys being being welcomed by strangers it's such a fucking thing but as those things begin to occur
potting can become
a bit more difficult than just sitting on the couch
and running your mouth.
Which is why I'm mad that Ish woke up
and still has not heard this Beyoncé record.
But we'll get to that.
We'll get to that later.
That's not in the middle of this monologue.
What's wrong with this guy?
I watched you guys last night.
What's wrong with this guy?
I watched you guys last night.
Just been doing behavioral analysis.
Great term.
And every time I think I've seen it all You guys get even more disgusting
Than I had you originally pegged
I wish there was a way for you to know
How disgusting I think of a lot of you
So you can understand the severity in that
Y'all are nasty out there.
It's bad.
It's bad.
It's just like,
what the fuck is this guy talking about?
I don't know what he's talking about.
Yeah.
All right.
We're going to find a way
to power through today.
Respectfully.
Always respectfully. respectfully always respectfully
now don't let any of that lead you to believe that i'm not really excited about
the resurgence of dance slash house music because I am I bought
this I mean when it came out yeah yeah
You know, when you get old, they say everything that was in and goes out comes back in at some point.
And I guess that's the beauty of age, seeing some of this shit come to manifest. You won't belong to me, I'll let you down.
I'll walk around and see your nice skyline
I feel the light but you don't want to stay

Then after that,

I'll take her for a little bit
and you just

So I had the rest

All right, come on.
Don't skip around.
Don't skip around.
Let's get to it.
Let's get right to it.
The queen has arrived.
Yep.
What did you guys go now?
You guys go.
Talk.
React.
React. He's anonymous.
No, I'm going to get honest.
I'm going to have an honest talk about it
cause I don't have anything
bad to say about it
it's not a bad song
I don't have anything
bad to say about it
I just have my own
quirky Joe Button
music brain shit
but that's not how
the majority listens to music
so I'm not gonna
burden you guys with that
I wanna
before even hearing the song
before we get to
the breakdown of the song,
do y'all think this has any,
the project that dropped in this,
do you think they have anything to do with each other?
You mean Drake?
Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't be surprised if a little birdie told him
that she's coming with a dance album
and he said, oh shit, let me go first.
Do you think her whole album will be a dance album?
I don't think so. No album I don't think so no
I don't think so
but I also
I agree with that Parks
and I also think
because she never announced
anything about a track coming
it was just
July 29th
and then
it's almost like
he heard that she was coming
with this sound
so he puts the album out
and then she said
oh we're
wholists
they could be bouncing back
and forth on each other
a little something
I could be all over
you guys are so
fucking
cute
that theory floated around
I had
but do you think he just had
an album ready to
pull from his ass
you think he just had a whole
dance album
no no no
I think he made a dance album yeah not because of her song, no, no. I think he made a dance album.
Yeah.
Not because of her song?
No.
No, no, no, no.
I'm just talking about the release time.
That's all.
We talking about releasing.
Just only the release time.
Oh, well, yeah, duh.
Yeah.
Let me get this out the way
before she comes.
I get it.
Definitely.
And again,
I saw people saying like,
oh, this is the new sound.
This is the new sound.
Even you on the last pod, you were speaking about how you felt like he was free and this was the music he wanted to make.
The more I thought about it, I don't know if that's the case.
I think TikTok is dominating what is dictating what these artists are doing now.
Maybe not her
let me jump in because I don't want my point
from last week to be misconstrued
what did you say
you were saying that
he was free
this is what he really wanted to make
he was free to do it
that didn't mean that
this is what was true to his soul
that meant with the signing of his deal and at this
point in his career some of the earlier pressures during a release would not be there okay so he was
free of he could do whatever he want now still if that be to be inspired from tiktok
then i could do it and not have to come out and sell 500 600 gotcha okay i understand that
differently now i definitely think that he has uh i'm sure he's got a little more freedom like
obviously with this album he did not try to hit a bunch of different yeah uh algorithms like he
usually does you know i'm saying like you usually have the pop record and then the R&B record
and then the hip-hop record
and then the
I'm just rapping straight
for 80 bars record.
Like, I think that freedom
plays a part in that, for sure.
Actually, according to ACT,
the label just got this shit
like two days before.
Like, he sent it to them
two days before.
Like, yo, I want to drop this.
Like, Friday.
So, even that would say to me that there's a different type of freedom.
Man, I'm going to never let that happen.
He's just moving different, that's all.
I was about to say, yo, why he couldn't just be an artist
and trying to explore something different?
No, you can.
Now, you have a fan base that's accustomed to him doing certain shit,
but just him as an artist, why can't he just put out
a project that he felt passionate about i'm with you like i don't see why you don't you don't get
to be as big as he is pause without having just like an enormous amount of people rooting against
you as well true y'all they've been pulling reasons out the ass
as to why they're not like this like everybody becomes uh the head of a and r everybody
man y'all and y'all always make up new ones oh his voice on this it's just something whatever
uh like see i don't like none of that like you don't have to have a reason it could
just be something you don't like not not today okay not today all right today that's not true
because this is this uh rush to have an opinion society that we're in a monetize my opinion
tweet the opinion then insta story it and reel it and put it on youtube and put it on
tiktok hey i'm gonna go spend the night with that guy who has an opinion and we'll come up with
opinions together hey you're a guy with a sign i'm a girl with a sign we're gonna stand on 42nd
street together and write things like that's where we are so yeah i agree with you because that's
what i always say if you don't like some shit then keep it pushing but that's not where we at
and that's not what these niggas do that's some old school shit that we
talking about now these niggas at 1201 have typed their tweet yeah they tweeted draft already they
knew the steps they were going to take so now for me and i get offended with y'all ever telling me
i'm pandering let me tell you all of the fucking integral shit that I've done over 20 years.
But that's another story for another day.
The Drake album has done nothing
but got better for me.
I've seen that a lot.
Even better.
I came in here.
I'm doubling down on that.
Great project.
I almost want to say a top five project from him.
I got A and I take back what I said about that
sticky bullshit.
In the daytime,
with a girl touching on you,
it could get sticky.
It's a good...
In the summertime too?
Nah, it's a nice little tune.
I came from the car wash.
I was like, okay.
Then when I thought I might have been bugging
on Father's Day, my kid got in the car, put the shit on me thought i might have been bugging on father's day i put my kid got
in the car i put the shit on me and him head bopping together oh shit look at you you little
ass but his mama could dance so he should have some type of some type of she's albert's alumni
um so yeah that album has done nothing got better than. I wanted to come in and ask y'all if y'all have the same stance on it,
because last week should have just came out.
Now it's a Wednesday.
We're back.
My stance is it's cool.
It's not really my genre, but it's not bad music.
It's well produced.
It's all the things.
I'm not rushing to put that on most times, but I'm not mad at it.
You got it.
You still feel the same yeah i'm the same
it's the records i like are the ones i like and i'm i'm never i'm not running back to this album
i've heard it um my my barber is like he's house music king that's his shit so when i first heard
the album i'm like i know this thing is gonna be going crazy and i And I'm in there in heat. So it was playing.
And I'm just like, you know, I mean, you can, like how you was playing the earlier music, the intro music.
You can bop your head to it.
It's just nothing that I want to hear.
It's not for me.
I don't like it.
Got it.
All right.
So let's get right to it.
Beyonce.
It's Beyonce.
Break my soul.
I did not hear this as soon as it dropped.
I was asleep on my fifth dream.
I woke up at around 3 a.m., heard it.
It was like, okay.
Went back to bed.
Woke up again a few hours later.
Heard it.
Said the same thing.
Went on about my day.
Okay.
I caught a snippet first,
and then the track itself came out
I guess about an hour or so
before midnight.
It went up on, I believe,
title on YouTube or something like that.
It was on title early.
I saw it there early.
11 o'clock or something.
I didn't expect,
I didn't know what we were getting.
So I was like,
oh shit, she did it too.
Before y'all give me opinions on that
what does this mean
anything
when you say this what do you mean by this
two of the bigger
artists leading with
this type of
yeah
I do think that there's some credence to the fact that
TikTok is popular
and I'm not saying that these guys make
art music for tiktok but i could see them saying i can hit that i could do something like that that
i still can stand behind yeah with integrity but i'm gonna do it my way i can see that what i've
been seeing is this we've been seeing for the last couple months artists all calibers have been kind of saying the same thing i'm being told i gotta do something for
tiktok that's been the story all the way across the board yeah whether it be i gotta put a video
out and i gotta go viral or i gotta create a challenge that goes viral for big artists too
not for nothing exactly that's what i'm saying yeah so to me it tricked it they they got the message too but they were able to do
it hey i wanted to make this kind of music anyway i can do this so it's a win-win it's not like some
of the other artists where they're like dude it's killing me i gotta do something for tiktok i don't
want to do this right and this goes back to the old and pardon, this pod, it's just a lot to think about.
This goes back to the old, what came first, the chicken or the egg?
This is what y'all are talking about.
Are you using the phone or is the phone using you?
That is what this comes down to for me.
Is it art?
It's art.
This is art.
It's still art.
Remember Cat Williams?
It's stifled.
It is art that is restricted.
It's art that is being dictated by the tech.
So yes, it is art, but it's almost like AI art.
Remember Cat Williams said, if you're a comedian and they take certain things from you, if you're a real comedian, you can work within those confines to make people laugh.
So if the label is telling you that you need to do certain stuff and you're a real musician or you're a real artist, you should be able to work within that scope.
You get what I'm saying?
I'll take it a step further, too.
Like, art often is a step further too.
Art often is a reflection on life.
True.
What's happening in the world.
That's true.
And if that just happens to be now,
what's happening on your phone,
it's still art reflecting the times.
And right now,
TikTok is the times. And it now, TikTok is the times.
And it's a job, kind of, too.
Wait, huh?
I'm agreeing with Parks and that.
I know.
And I'm not going to argue with you guys.
I just need that to be explained to me some more.
If art is often reflecting the times, we can agree with that, right?
What's happening in the world.
60s music was going off of what's happening in Vietnam and all the shit that was happening
in the 60s, 90s, same shit
I'm following
why is it wrong now if what the times is
is digital
in your phone, in your computer
what you're saying, I think I understand what you're saying
and that's my beef
yeah it's art
but these songs are telling you nothing about the times
TikTok is not the time, it's the, but these songs are telling you nothing about the times. TikTok is not the time.
It's a tech that's in the now.
That's a good point.
The songs are not telling us anything about the time.
Hers is a little bit.
What is it telling us?
It's talking about quitting your job and turning up.
No, this song is not about.
I want to argue with him right now.
What's up?
This song and many others, because I don't want to highlight
this one,
is selling
steak to the oppressed.
So,
quit your job.
Do you think that's a new thing?
That was a bar.
You think people are just now
quitting their job?
They're reflecting on it a lot more in the past couple years. No, we're in a bar. You think that's a new? That was a good one. You think people are just now quitting their job? They're reflecting on it a lot more in the past couple years.
No, we're in a recession.
And a lot of niggas that didn't fly fell flat on their fucking face.
No doubt.
But they might still have 99 cent.
Uh-huh.
They might still have 299.
Well, we could talk about the-
Quit your job.
We could talk about the ethics of saying that kind of shit in a song if you want but
that's a different conversation stop not for me because i want to highlight the construction of
a i music and i'm not just talking about this song but when you hear the biggest artist arguably in
the world come out with every popular catchphrase with every popular movement and point quit your job
whatever i don't want to read this uh but anything to inspire and motivate and cling to the heart
strings as a song maker you hear that you know the science in this song from the music to the lyrics to the chorus
to the artists i'm not saying that those things are not true to beyonce but this song did not
tell us anything new about the time or the artist to that you say i don't think that all music
particularly dance music is necessarily necessarily a social commentary.
Alex, scroll down.
Well, we started with music be a reflection of the time.
So, yes, I agree with you.
Dance music.
Sometimes it is.
Down.
Doesn't have to be that.
And I guess that's part of the reason.
Let me talk to you in two seconds, Ace.
And I guess that's part of why I do appreciate the Drake project so much.
Because still on this dance project, he found a way to still deliver him and words that were true to him, which is the same shit throughout his whole career, but a different take on some of the girly shit.
Like, oh, shit, that's unique.
And I'm not saying this is not unique because let me be clear i think this
is a smash i think this record is a smash i think you'll hear it everywhere i think it leads to a
lot of other conversations that probably need to be had just about music and where it is how it's
being made who's buying it who are they marketing to who matters who don't um oh
but go ahead i'm sorry you said it's giving stake to the oppressed that was a dope line
i'm kind of in agreement but let me just offer a difference of opinion not that it's mine
what if this is being looked at as inspirational
you know what i'm saying like get your vibrations up get on your shit so that you could leave the what if this is being looked at as inspirational?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, get your vibrations up,
get on your shit so that you can leave the job that you hate,
that you don't want to be at
from nine to five every day.
Like, step your game up.
Type inspirational talk.
Because that's the thing of today, too.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, everybody is on the entrepreneurial bag.
Everybody on the get your frequencies up,
get your this, get your that.
So it is kind of
reflective of today
in that we trying to push
a certain level of excellence
like, yo,
fuck that 9 to 5 shit,
get your own,
do X, Y, Z.
And that would be great.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, that's where we are.
So this could potentially be
pushing that narrative
or pushing that message.
Which is in line with her.
Yeah, that is true.
No?
So it's true to self.
That would be great.
Kind of.
But I do agree with you.
This is going to be a monster.
I mean, it's her though, yo.
Like, not for nothing, the same kind of thing I said with Kendrick.
I like the song.
It's cool. About a seven and a half but she could put out whatever she wants yo and her her her voice
is just so loud that it's gonna be in zara and forever 21 and wherever the fuck you go it's
gonna be there it's gonna be at soho house for the rest of the year no question you know i'm
saying so she kind of can't really miss.
Yeah, some people work themselves to that point.
True. Like, you know, they didn't start there.
They work themselves to that point where they can put out whatever the fuck they want, and
their fans are going to eat it up.
And it ain't a chump song.
It's not a chump song.
I'm just saying.
I don't know.
And you know she going to follow up with some bangers.
I will say this, too.
I've seen a lot of DJs, like, applauding the shit out of dance culture, dance music making a comeback.
Because the past decade has been relatively low tempo music.
Decade plus.
I saw somebody.
Girls shooting guns in the club.
I wish I like screenshot the tweet.
But he said, it was a DJ.
And he said, I could see the divide happening in urban
party scene
cause on one hand
you're gonna
there's people that's gonna
hate this dance music
because they want
the trap sound
yeah
and
those places
are probably
never gonna play
any of these records here
and on the flip side
you're gonna have
dance parties back
yo and I think
that's completely okay
yeah that's fine
like I don't think
that the
homogenization
or whatever the word is
of music
is a good thing
like where everyone
makes shit that fits
in the same sound
and format
like that's what I like
about even though
this is not my genre
that's what I like
about the Drake album
that's what I like
about the Beyonce song
is please
let's have a
I wanna go to that spot for the dance music I wanna go to that spot let's have a different. I want to go to that spot for the dance music.
I want to go to that spot for the fucking boom bap shit.
I want to go to that spot for the jazz.
Why can't we have that?
I think that's dope.
And both of them are getting older, too.
True.
Like, dog, even in us.
We're getting older.
Some of that shit, I don't really want to hear, B.
I don't.
I know.
I just don't be wanting to hear that shit sometimes.
Like, I don't want it.
Yo, you go to the club.
Girls are shooting their gun in the club with the invisible gun.
Tattoos and hoodies.
I don't want to see that.
No lie, me and Ice was in the club.
The girls shooting the gun in the club.
I don't want to see that.
I used to be mad at that too a lot.
Yo, dog, I'm 46 years old.
I don't want to see a girl literally knowing every single line to back and blood.
I'm cool.
I used to feel like that,
so I learned that most of our attendants were gang members, too.
I'm talking outside of the street.
I was like, oh.
Oh, y'all.
Oh, that's up.
Oh, that's real.
You got real ops.
Y'all the sickest.
Oh, you really was spinning.
You clutch your purse.
Because I came in here one day.
I came in here one day and went off, right?
I was like, yo, I don't want to see the fuck you folks be back there looking sexy.
Oh.
You mean.
Oh, you ripped it.
Oh, you got one.
Oh, that's really your set you're throwing up.

Oh, my God.
Nigga, you saw what happened when just like Drill took off.
Niggas who wasn't.
That's true.
Niggas became Drill rappers and artists overnight.
Overnight. And I want to say something, but I won't. niggas who wasn't that's true niggas became drill rappers and artists overnight and I
I wanna say something

It's over buddy
In the next five
Six years

But again
So what
And that's
That's government issued writing
That's not Joe
That's not Joe
That's government issued writing
Don't start hitting me
Mad at me
I'm just telling you what I'm looking at.
And if you're an artist and you looking at it,
you should be thinking elsewhere as well.
They're not playing with y'all.
The dream says,
I love making you guys happy.
And even if for a second,
I can give anything of myself
to help you get through a moment in these crazy times,
I'd use my entire heart to do so.
No one's fucking sleeping tonight.
Beyonce, we have done something special yet again, my good friend.
To your point.
Yeah.
So Bumblebee and a rocket.
She's her, yo.
She's her.
She's her.
She's definitely her
So you don't think the whole album
Will be dance music though
No
Never never never
No
But you don't really give you
She don't give you one thing
Sound
No she doesn't
She doesn't
I saw people saying
Yeah you hate house music
But you know
Chris Brown dropping
I guarantee you
He have something on there
I'm like okay
Chris gonna give me 30 records too
I can skip what I don't like
True That's the thing It's not many people That's doing wait wait hold on no i don't do that don't

I used to do them shits and say,
I got to set fire to see if this shit works.
Kind of see if this,
because I don't think this is an effective way.
That shit ain't going to happen like this. First to escape.
I'm playing Benemess, yo.
Friday,

Real flames.
Inferno.
Bad. That, Real fire Real flames Inferno Bad That
You gonna text that shorty

That's leaving on a pride
He about to bug out
Listen man
Oh man
So yeah like I said
He can put some house on there
Not just that
Yo music is music dog Even if he did some house on there. Not just that. Yo, music is music, dog.
Even if he did some house shit,
it might be a slap.
He might have some
CeCe Peniston in the tuck
that's gone last 40 years.
You never know with this nigga.
He's amazing.
I want to know the name
of Beyonce's album.
Renaissance?
Renaissance.
Act 1. Act 1. That's it. They saying it's a album? Renaissance. Is it Renaissance? Renaissance. Renaissance.
Act one.
Act one.
That's it.
They're saying it's a few pieces.
And it's
July 29th?
I mean,
I want to know.
I want to,
I can't wait to see
her vision.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you know,
it's a whole package.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like, why is this,
and this single
don't do it.
That don't help the picture for me.
I read some shit that broke it down that said they had her on a pink horse and all this other shit.
And they broke down all the symbolism of the pink horse and what the pink horse meant.
And the renaissance.
It was, you know, they were real real well read and they'd be on
a history shit and they'd be on they you know what i mean civilization shit it just broke the
whole picture down she was sitting on the pink horse some shit you know what else i like about
beyonce like when she announced the date it was like late july something right yeah it's late
like she take advantage of the full six weeks of space.
Something's gonna come
probably damn near every week.
But she don't always do that.
Only one time.
Well, she don't always
give you a six week lead up.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like, this is kind of new
for her to just pop up.
Hey, I'm...
Album is coming six weeks from now.
And then, three days later, oh, here's a single, by the way.
This is actually a little different.
She had a nice break, though.
Beyonce just tell you, yo, it's out.
She don't tell you.
No, it's out.
You just wake up, it should be out.
That self-titled album That just dropped out of nowhere
Bro I still remember
Didn't Elimination drop out of nowhere?
Nah Elimination was HBO
It was
But it was fairly unannounced
I don't think it was rolled out like all the way
Yeah it wasn't fully rolled out
But the self-titled album
Cause the label didn't even know they was getting that shit
Literally people just woke up and said
Oh shit there's a new Beyonce album out And it was just available The label didn't even know they was getting that shit. Literally, people just woke up and said, oh shit,
there's a new Beyonce album out.
And it was just available.
When was her last project?
That was Lemonade, right?
Lemonade, yeah.
That was 16?
Yeah.
Might have been 16.
I think you gotta do a little bit.
Yeah, 16.
You gotta do a little bit different.
Well, she did the whole collab album.
Oh yeah,
and the Lion King. Lion King shit. You gotta do a little bit different. Well, she did the whole collab album. Oh, yeah, and the Lion King.
Lion King shit.
You got to do a little different, I think.
Not when you're her.
Not when you're her and you're not chasing numbers.
It says act one.
How many acts do you think there'll be?
It's a job, my nigga.
I don't listen to that.
I think everybody wants numbers.
She's told you herself, if I cared about numbers, I would have put Lemonade on Spotify.
I think Act 1 will be the only audio aspect.
Okay.
I think Act 2 might be the tour.
Act 3 might be a movie, Netflix.
Oh, there's some Netflix shit coming, dope.
Act 4 might be something different if there were to be an Act 4.
Okay. Or the Del 4 might be something different if there were to be an Act 4. Hmm, okay.
Or the Deluxe might be Act 2 or, you know.
Something I noticed here.
It says Renaissance Formats.
It says Box Set is one of them.
That's why.
Something tells me this might be like.
Somebody said that.
It's the most ambitious album to date.
This shit might be like some fucking three disc shit.
This could be some crazy shit.
Formats, Box Set, Digital Download, Streaming. today this shit might be like some fucking three disc shit this could be some crazy formats box set
digital download streaming on the site there's four different poses they're called which is the
album and it's got like a t-shirt next to it all right we know beyonce is not putting out four
albums right do we she put out two she could put out a double she did a double that's not four i'm
just we don't know what
beyonce can do what beyonce wants to do it's true i mean and she's had a six year one time
joe doesn't think that of four new albums from beyonce are coming
beyonce might give you especially if it's a dance project might give you one album of
the music and another one be like an instrumental album
without the vocals it can one be like an instrumental album without the vocals.
It could be something like that, too.
I don't know.
But she's coming,
and she's going to come in a different way.
Everybody move.
Yeah.
You see niggas started moving already.
Everybody move.
It's okay.
No shame in it.
Nothing wrong.
Not at all. It's the respectable thing to do. We all would do it. Everybody move. It's okay. No shame in it. Nothing wrong. Not at all.
It's the respectable
thing to do.
We all would do it.
Do it.
Just get out the way.
Mm-hmm.
It's time.
Move.
Yeah, move.
It's cool.
And that's okay.
Yeah.
What do y'all take away
from Drake's projections?
Anything?
230, right?
Not to bring it back there,
but that was on our list.
It was.
I think that I think the internet
Is that powerful
And I think that
Most people are
Groupies
And they just
Go with the flock
So I think that
The very first
Not even the first day
The first hour
That that shit dropped
The reviews were disgusting
And I think people
Just followed suit
I think the the genre is
not everybody's cup of tea too whereas all it is most people instantly just listen to a thing a
couple times people let's do it one time said i don't really want to listen to this like didn't
me myself i'm a drake fan i see brand new drake project i'm hauling ass to listen to it now
he made a project in a genre that i don't particularly
listen to it's not my cup of tea oh this ain't for me i don't really like this a lot of people
felt that way you bought it no oh you didn't buy no i didn't buy that oh okay
that's what i'm saying that this is low for Drake
it is extremely low
I don't think so
surprise drop
Dark Lane Demo Tapes was a surprise drop
and it did
kind of the same numbers
yeah that was like a
it was called Demo Tape
that's the title
I'm talking about
I wasn't treated like an album
neither was this.
Surprise drop.
There was no rollout or nothing.
This wasn't treated like an album.
This was not treated like an album.
All that, he do that.
Good point.
More life.
If you're reading this,
it's too late.
I can call it whatever I want
and I think this is smart on his part.
With those other ones if they
don't hit certain numbers it don't look it's like oh well this wasn't an album this was a playlist
this was a this this was a that with this project here he don't have to really hit six seven hundred
thousand or whatever because in the first hour it broke all of apple's dance music category records
because dance isn't necessarily a very, very,
I'm not going to say popular,
but it's not a strong genre.
So for him to drop in there,
yeah, of course you're going to break
whatever record they got.
And that's a stat right there I could hang my hat on.
I'm chasing streaming numbers.
It's still a low number for Drake.
Say what you want.
I would agree. I think that if he had
Two or three bangers
And when you first cut the album
On everybody
Would've went nuts
And he would've sold more
I think he knew it
Surprise drop or not
I think that
If it was three or four
Real heat rockers on there
It would've did more numbers
They killed it
Like they killed it
On all social media platforms
They killed it
So a lot of people didn't
You know
Niggas is sheep
They gonna rock with the flock
So
I don't know
It's my opinion
I like Park Save
And that's just not everybody bad
Especially when you've grown
To be a fan of an artist
Who made a certain type of music
For
Better part of a decade.
More than a decade.
Yeah, more.
Actually, yeah, you're right.
Damn, he's like 15 years in.
Yeah, what you think about the number?
So if he's done a certain type of music for 15 plus years,
and then you just completely step off in another direction,
not saying it's a bad thing, but everybody might not roll with that.
No, it's got to have some pros and cons.
That's what y'all think about the fact that it seems like all the Big Dawg's numbers were down across but everybody might not roll with that. Nah, it's got to have some pros and cons.
That's what I'm talking about. What do y'all think about the fact that
it seems like all the Big Dawg's numbers
were down across the board?
I was going to say that too.
That just might be reflective of music.
Kendrick did what, 280?
Something like that.
Jack Harlow.
You don't need a million people
to make a million dollars.
You'll be a lot better off as an artist.
Because numbers in that sense are capped.
How many records you sell is capped.
How much money did you make off the records you sold?
That's what this shit is about.
So you can walk around with a platinum plaque
and hold your head up high
because that is a major accomplishment.
But you can't eat off that motherfucker.
There is no check that comes with a platinum plaque
if you don't do your business right.
So you got to decide if you want to be famous or if you want to be rich.
Because in the music industry and entertainment, that is on most levels two totally different things.
You don't know the richest people in entertainment.
You think you know because you've seen people on TV.
There's nowhere near the richest people in entertainment.
Puffy, Hov, Russell, maybe.
But there's eight other people like that.
You never heard of Clarence Avon
until they put the movie on Netflix.
This is Bumby.
That man was instrumental behind the scenes
for 40 plus years.
And I think you get the gist of what he's saying.
What Vince Staples was saying.
For me, yeah, Vince has said it.
A few people have said it.
But I don't think it resonates the way that it needs
to when you have the vast majority of people out there and they'll say i have a cape on but fuck it
uh saying that these are low numbers for drake okay but with all things considering
right like what does that mean.
I have this being like a monster stat for him.
That I roll out of bed.
Fart on an album.
And do 230.
This is going to be a top selling album.
That means nothing to me.
But it's going to be a top selling album this year.
For sure.
It's going to be a top five in the releases.
He spent nothing outside of this video
that Ice is talking about.
And he's under a new deal
that's reworked
and reconstructed.
I can't find
a bad thing to say
about 230.
And
I can't.
Take it a step further.
All the award shows
he's going to clean up
in that category.
Oh yeah. No question. He's running straight straight through it's only two of y'all that outsold me on my dance project like i'm
putting my dick on my dick and balls on the table if that's me but yet we've been conditioned
what does that new deal look like and what do y'all think it looks? And what do y'all think it looks like?
And what do y'all think it means when one thing is sold now?
Exactly.
Monetarily.
Yeah.
It's not the same.
It's true.
I don't have to go and sell.
Remember when Cam went to Koch?
It's the same thinking.
I think. This is all speculative.
But yeah, this is when artists learn, hey, I can sell 230 and it will be like when I sold a million week one.
That's what I assume the thinking to be there.
Again, I don't know.
Or I could be caping and I'm biased and I just really love the guy's music.
But that's what I think is going on.
As a person that don't love this music, I agree.
That new deal.
Yeah, who gives a fuck?
Exactly.
He got rumored $400 million.
I don't give a fuck what it sold.
And I take it a step further.
You'll hear from him again.
Well, I think so. and I'm not talking about
I know he said he got
the scary hours 3
that
the last scary hours
was what
2-3 records
I'm talking about
we're gonna hear from him again
and that's where
y'all better shut the fuck up
he might put another project
that's where
you're gonna hear from him again
y'all better shut up
because now
with this deal
what this project tells me is with this deal what this project
tells me
is with this deal
I could do
what the fuck
I want
meaning
I can come back
next week
and say
hey look
here's a whole
new project
over here
hip hop
yeah we was
all watching
the Bulls
3P
6P
whatever
the name
of the doc
was
and we were all laughing like a family together online at all the times that Michael Jordan was petty.
Because it's like, you was that petty?
Like, you was petty to Orlando Woolridge.
Like, you was just petty.
You was petty to everybody.
Your teammates, 12th man off the bench.
But we loved that shit.
We was laughing at it.
Every time Mike said
and I took it personal
oh yeah
we was having a blast
that's part of why
I've been having
a lot of fun
watching Steph Curry
and how petty
the Warriors have been
they remember
all that shit
y'all said
Steph remember when
and I remember
this episode
in August
when y'all said
he wasn't gonna win
no more rings
Kendrick Perkins
and I was like what y'all said he wasn't going to win no more rings, Kendrick Perkins. And I was like, what are y'all talking about?
Steph remembered it, too.
Who knew that the greats could be so, so petty?
When Hove was dissing me, it felt like every other year.
And the fans just kept saying, Joe Blunt, shut your bum ass up.
You think niggas, you think fucking all Jay-Z is thinking about you?
And I used to say, if you only knew how petty the fucking greats were.
It's part of what makes them the greats.
Y'all think this nigga is not reading what y'all is saying about this dance music, yo.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see the merch that he was showing?
I need that shirt.
That shirt's hard.
I was going to hit him to get the shirt, but I didn't want him to think I was trying to diss him.
But nigga, it's your shirt,
but I mean your old shit do slap.
Huge fan of your old stuff.
I like the new shit too,
but that's a funny shirt.
That's a hilarious shirt.
But he's going to be on y'all ass on Spooky Hours.
I don't have nothing to say about what what dave said but it confirms what i said
with that whole birthday shit what birthday shit dave free the co-founder of pg lang and
kendrick's longtime business partner calls drake petty for dropping the worst album of the year
on kendrick's birthday petty ass nigga dropped on Dot Birthday just to release the worst album of the year.
Here's what Dave Free said.
Dave, shout out to you.
Kendrick, you, Drake, you,
all parties involved.
Just doing my gig.

This kind of confirmed

Dave Freed had an Instagram
Me neither
He's got like a thousand followers
Private page
Someone snitched on him
But here come the blogs
Starting trouble
Well Dave said this
I was about to say
Start what?
Yeah
I ain't like that shit
The blogs did to Puff
What'd they do?
Oh Ain't no way in that song
Did he say nothing about that young lady
And here go the blogs
Puff sends shots at
His ex
I'm like wait
Her nigga sent the shot back though
I do know what I think is going to happen.
I'm going to drink some water.
It wasn't too much talking.
He just went up there and saw the college football coach.
All he did was knock on his office door.
Quit beating.
Where that little trainer door at?
Hey, where the gym?
What's the address to that gym?
A little bit straightening?
Quick.
Quick.
I see it was slick, too.
Slick.
I saw that.
Slick.
Anyway.
You saw it?
He ain't seen nothing. Don't worry about it i tell you
i don't know uh yeah i don't know either back to dave it's it's only like two niggas that
can even say something about the drake project and kendrick and dave free are two from one
and then you know the next slide, I love when you count me out while they shoot the video.
So.
Who's that?
Say it with.
Listen, man.
Miss Doubtfire.
Who cares?
Did you hear it say Miss Doubtfire?
Miss Doubtfire.
I heard him.
I heard him. What if that's like the Dalai Lama or some shit?
I know what the Dalai Lama look like
There's only one
I ain't gonna say what I
It's only one Lama
Fair enough
I ain't know, that was a person
Oh shit
You thought it was an actual Lama?
I didn't like the great llama.
That's why I don't come to your hostings.
It's the crowd you bring.
I thought it was a llama.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that might have been.
Oh, man.
I thought that was a gentrified
Tommy Lama. Yo, stop playing. have been oh man yo i thought that was the gentrified tommy
they know who they know who not to gentrify
that's my other small small worry with this dance music thing that's happening. There's nowhere to dance in New York.
Or not many places, or at least I don't know of them.
Look how fast it gets me back to my tech argument I was having earlier, right?
I don't know where to go in New York because I'm old, shriveled, and washed.
Shriveled?
Shriveled and washed.
More Botox and lipo coming.
These niggas doing it.
Flex did it.
Drake did it.
They saying Puff did it.
Come on.
There's some more.
Who else did it? Oh, what's my man?
What's my man?
French.
I didn't even think of that.
French did it. I didn't know if he did it
Why niggas can't just work that and look good
He did it and rolled the whole album out
I'm gonna do it
I ain't gonna do it
These niggas making you think about it
A little bit
I start eating less red meat for about two weeks.
I still weigh the same.
I weigh the same shit.
I'm going to bed off fucking chicken Caesar salad and shit.
Stepping on the scale.
Still fat.
You got to hit them stairs.
You and Corey?
Yeah.
You got Lex Lugo with you?
How many days of my week
You want me to spend with Corey?
How many days of your week
Do you spend with Corey?
You just want me
You just writing off my days
Just sending them off
Into the wind
I ain't saying you gotta go every day
Run them by yourself nigga
Four days a week
I'm skinnier than both you niggas
So y'all stop talking to me
You ain't skinny to me
What's your point?
I don't understand your point.
Anyway, back to my point.
So who knows where to go to have fun in New York?
You know how I find out where to go now?
You guessed it, TikTok.
Really?
I didn't know.
I had no idea.
That's crazy.
But that's what it is.
Yo, we got to stop.
I know we've been talking about TikTok.
And from a musical standpoint, labels.
But everything is there.
Information.
Instructional bids.
How to cook.
How to build.
Everything that I was going to YouTube for.
So I could see why people are threatened.
And I could see why people acquiesce.
But I thought it's only one minute
clips. That's why
it's actually working. No I'm saying
but Joe's saying that they got like how-to
videos but they get
compressed into one minute?
Yeah quick edits. It's difficult
to, you gotta do it.
There's still an art to that.
For sure. Yeah that's hard. You have to learn how
to do that. It ain't just kid dances and shit.
Basically, the way it was explained to me,
they took YouTube and Google and mashed it together
and made it for a person with a very short attention span,
which is half of the new world.
Which is most of, yeah.
But anyway, moving right along.
Yo, wait, before we get to that
lastly on Drake
I am so glad
they kicked that fake
Drake nigga out the club
I watched that video
90 million times
enough of him
get on with your
fucking life
no did you see
like go do something
did you see his video
where he
where he
FaceTimed Drake
no I don't
I don't
watch his content
even that I don't look I don't look for him I don't watch his content. Even that.
I don't look for him.
I don't want to see him FaceTime nobody.
All right, that shit popped up.
You know, it was all over the time.
Go away.
Go away, yo.
Huh?
Think he was getting money?
Nah, he FaceTimed Drake, and he's talking to him,
and he's, you know, big OVO ting, shit like that.
Drake banged on that nigga, man.
You're lying.
He's like, yo, We still putting the record on
Yeah yeah yeah
Boop
Quick
I'm really happy
They kicked him out the club
See cause some things
Go along
With being
The mega star
That is Drake
Which is
Sometimes you'll get to a venue
Where there's somebody in there
That don't want you in there
And that's when you gotta have
All the mob ties And all that other shit He be rapping about with you there that don't want you in there. And that's when you got to have all the mob ties
and all that other shit he be rapping about with you.
And you don't.
It's expensive.
Then the other part about that is, like the gentleman said,
there's a lot of people that really know this guy and like this guy.
And some of these niggas happen to be real niggas.
So why am I about to share a space with you?
I'm not.
Yo, get him out of here.
Oh, round of applause, yo.
Yo, go be yourself.
That's already a bad problem in hip hop.
Niggas not wanting to be themselves.
Now we paying niggas to be somebody else.
Yeah, that's crazy.
No, no, no.
Get him out the club.
I'm with you.
You and your man.
See,
and when you start
pressing niggas,
they can't do nothing
but smile and look goofy.
Bring back pressing niggas
without rapping about
what you did
and how you did it
and how you got
to the final result.
Yeah,
don't say nothing.
Nothing.
Just bring back,
bring it back bring it back
get out the club
god damn it
handle business and
keep it
alright
Ice wants to get on to
uh
Amarion
versus Mario
and you can't spell Amarion
without Mario
points are made
I'm picking a Mario
Landslide
Yeah
Mario's my man though
Yeah no disrespect
I'm sorry
I don't think it's gonna be
As much of his landslide
As we think
It's gonna be more
Nah
You stupid yo
But what do you think
Now let's say something
Tell us more about
What you think
What you think
Break down the discography
For me Break it down I'm gonna stop being hip 12-8 What do you think? Tell us more about what you think. What do you think? Break down the discography for me.
Break it down.
I'm going to stop being hip.
12-8.
No, we didn't ask for your score.
Tell us why you feel like you feel.
I just think that Mario got joints.
And I think they're going to go over well.
They in L.A.
So, Amarion is going to be king tap dance out there.
They could be in.
No, he's going to beat them.
He's going to beat them, but I don't think it's going to be as much of a landslide as y'all.
Okay.
Landslide.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, this.
And they got an undercard on this versus.
Who's undercard?
A boxing match?
No, no.
It's a tag team.
Ray J and Bobby Valentino versus Pleasure P and Sammy.
Now, that's a mop-up.
LeBron picked these teams.
That's a mop-up.
That's crazy.
That's a bop on Yeah
That's crazy
I don't know who was
I don't know who
I don't know
Who got the better
Of the paper scissors rock
But it wasn't
Sammy and them
Nah
I hope they didn't
I don't even know
How they agreed to this
I mean I guess
This is just for the look.
But it's not going to be
a good look.
I mean
It's going to be entertaining.
No, no.
Ray J's going to make
the show entertaining.
Hey yo dawg.
No, you know what?
Let's stop joking around
for a minute.
Let me stop joking around
for a minute.
This is not a landslide.
This is not that
the opener is not a landslide
because Pleasure P
has written a lot. That's true because Pleasure P has written a lot.
That's true.
Pleasure P has written a lot.
Well, I'm asleep.
And Pretty Ricky got a lot.
Pleasure P probably could face either one of them by himself.
In this pen, not both.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, and he's performed on some records.
No, no, he has.
I'm not disagreeing yes yes
me i know i'm just saying because once you get past ray j uh uh sexy can i one wish uh i'm
throwing boyfriend in there wait a minute wait a minute uh there's one more from Ray J that you have to get by. But it's about four or five.
Now bring Bobby V in there.
No.
Oh, okay.
Because that's not right.
Sammy a little while ago was looking for versus Smoke alone. And he talked with a lot of confidence.
I won't diss him because I love Sammy.
But I didn't know.
Maybe I'm not as familiar with all of Sammy's catalog, the way that he was talking.
Because he was talking like this about big boys.
My hardball ain't going to get it done.
I think Sammy is friends with all of these guys.
I don't put him in the same conversation with these gentlemen.
If I'm wrong, I'm open to being wrong.
Like I said, I'm not familiar.
He must have a penchant.
Yeah, he might have something
that I just don't know about.
That's possible.
And that'd be dope
in the verses
when you find out like,
oh shit,
he wrote that.
He did that.
Yo,
that's dope.
You know what?
I'll be glad to be wrong in that.
Close this.
What side is Ray J at number one?
The Omarion side?
Yes.
Oh,
it ain't no side.
It's just, all right.
Yeah.
All right.
But tomorrow,
it might as well be 420.

A lot of niggas is getting smoked.
Yeah.

Look at God getting me out of here.
You can say, I tried to call.
Okay, he doesn't call.
All right.
Did my job as a podcaster.
I tried to deliver the content.
It did not work.
Don't even talk too much because if you talk around,
I'll call you back.
That's my man.
I ain't going to say nothing bad to him.
Let me love you.
Let me love you is a point.

I can't say that.
Depending on what it's against.
Just a friend versus Icebox, where do you go?
Icebox.
I'm going Icebox.
Icebox.
And that's why it gets bad.
Because he should win that.
Yeah.
But I don't give that to him.
No.
But he should win that.
Just a friend should beat Icebox.
But if that can't beat Icebox,
then it's tough.
Yeah.
But you saying like Icebox is one of his lowly joints.
That's one of his heat rockers.
Don't say heat rocker to me.
Nigga, yo.
Yo, Ice.
Nigga won't even read his contract.
Tell him not to talk the verses talk.
You do the verses when Otis Redden
is up to bat.
You do it when I'm fucking
sitting in my
stupid.
No, it's a joint film.
You're right.
But it won't be one of
the last two records
yeah no
no
and that's what I mean
just a friend
has to be one of
the last two records
for Mario
let me love you
it should be the last point
that's the last one
for Mario

Anything else in music?

No, I think that was it for music, bro.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, there wasn't.
I know there's more, but y'all real slick sending me out on the ledge for the, what was that?
On the day free shit.
Y'all are cute.
What you mean?
Nah.
Did y'all give a take on that?
No.
It sounded rather silent to me for the biggest artist in the world versus the other biggest act in hip hop who hasn't dropped in five, six years.
And now his partner of the new company is calling out some shit.
Like, y'all was a little too silent on that one for me.
Especially as someone that pays you guys.
I mean, look, what did you want to say?
We saw it.
I don't want to say anything.
I just want a doc to pay.
I don't want you to say a word.
Look at Alex.
That's y'all man. word Look at Alex That's your man
Hey, wait
Hey, wait
You hear your man back there?
Oh, shit
That part not in my contract
Yo
Nah, if y'all don't have one on it
We can skip it
I didn't know he had beef
You was speculating all these years
It's always been the speculation
Yeah, but now
And we're still not saying beef
But that's spicy
No, that's beef
It is spicy
And that may lead to more Nigga, that's beef. It is spicy. And that may lead to more.
Nigga, that's beef.
More beef.
That's beef.
Which would mean I was just
two years or a year and a half
early on it.
That's beef.
All right, so.
And y'all saying Drake petty too?
Well, no, Drake, no, he's petty.
Which means a comeback is coming back.
He always comes back.
No, he has.
There'll be some free bars snuck in somewhere.
I'm trying to keep an eye on you.
No, he's petty.
All right, so do y'all think the video,
you think there's anything in there to address this?
Which video?
The one that they were shooting?
The one they were shooting.
Because he said, I love when you count me out
and put that in there
as if
I don't think so.
No?
Okay.
You think this gets addressed?
I don't watch videos.
I think that Drake
will address it.
I don't know if Kendrick
addresses it unless
No, I'm talking about
Kendrick addressing it.
No.
Because if
for him
for Dave to say this
obviously
Dave has a private page with a thousand followers
I'm pretty sure that he didn't think that no one was gonna see that shit
I feel you but with that, you know, yeah
Yeah, the way they move the way they move particularly that anyone affiliated over there, but this is not day. This is PG Lang
I get that but I'm just saying I can't say yeah Kendrick knows. I'm with you. Yes. I'm with you.
We don't put nothing on anywhere unless we know what's going to go.
You got one follower.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Somebody going to push it to somebody.
We're not doing a fake page and putting nothing out.
They don't move that way.
All right.
Come on.
Into more interesting news, we have Her vs. MBK Entertainment.
That's Jeff.
Shout out to all parties involved here.
Yeah. But this is interesting it's very
interesting her fouled uh filed a lawsuit in california uh based on the labor laws i'm not
reading this off my head uh oh here we go i can read it uh according to legal documents cited by the blast her suing
for the declaratory relief and violation of the business and professions code and seeking to be
released from her contract contract with mbk the lawsuit was filed in the superior court of the
state of california and los angeles county on thursday wilson's releases under the name her
all have been released under the MBK logo and distributed
by Sony Music's RCA Records.
It is unclear whether her dispute extends
to her management contract with Robinson
who previously managed Alicia Keys.
What she's saying
is, because this is not giving
it to me, what she's saying is
in California you can't make somebody
work more than
seven years. I was the same.
Kanye used this when he was trying to get out of the whatever publishing deal it was.
Did that work for him?
I think they renegotiated or something, if I recall correctly.
Because she's saying that she signed a contract when she was 14 years old.
And that contract should have been debted in 2020 or 2019 something like that here we go she
reported claims had uh she reportedly claims has significantly limited her employment rights and
that she has not been free to provide her recording services except as permitted or dictated by mbk
she also claims that mbk has exclusively owned the right to exploit her name and likeness
for her recordings see this is where i shut up because that sounds normal yeah it does
and it's it's interesting because but if she's saying that contract is up then that terminates
those rights so you should no longer have the right to do those things and i guess that's what
the dispute is it sounds like it probably was
it sounds like it was probably
I'm sorry you're good
it was probably if she was 14 years old
brand new artist I know she had like a little bit of a
name and buzz around that time
it was probably not a favorable deal at the time
and now she's her
and is probably trying to negotiate her way out of it
similar to what Kanye did with the
publishing shit before.
See, I'm lost on that because...
Okay, so you're 14, so I'm guessing your guardian or someone signed...
You signed this contract.
Yeah.
And from what I was reading, it says the documents reportedly state that the contract makes her an exclusive employee for an initial period, which ended the later of 15 months after May 19th, 2011, or 12 months after the commercial release in the United States of her first album under the contract and up to five additional option periods for more than one year each.
So it's like... That tells me something
because she dropped EPs
for the first five shits.
It was all EPs for a minute.
She didn't drop her debut album
until two years ago or whatever, right?
Like that last album
was her first album.
But even that...
No.
No?
I thought the first album
was just an amalgamation
of all the EPs.
Well, that's where this gets tricky.
Yeah.
It was that.
I put all my EPs together, and now this is a full-length project.
Same thing Meek was talking about over in Atlantic.
Same thing Meg was talking about with Karl Crawford.
If you are under a production company or just a different company has access to your rights
we have to mutually agree or not mutually we have to decide whether this is an album or not yes
or an ep or whether this serves to your contract counts like i was putting out independent project
after independent project my publisher said what that? We don't have no language on that.
And that's a mixtape
or some shit.
But wait, no,
it's original music.
Well, so what?
Until they call it an album.
It's not album.
Yeah, these definitions
changed with the snap
of a finger.
At the whim of
the record label,
it seems like,
or a production company.
Yeah, but I like to see
more artists
being able to go and fight for their rights.
She also claims that in his role as manager, Robinson fired the law firm that first represented her
and alleges that Robinson caused his own lawyers to represent Wilson in the negotiation of subsequent contracts.
Including publishing and touring agreements.
She then alleges that those lawyers
took 5% of the deals they negotiated,
but did not have a written fee agreement
or conflict waiver signed by Wilson
and said that they performed the services
as a favor to their client Robinson,
who was paid 20% commission for each of those deals.
The old double dip. It's Jeff. Music industry games. To their client, Robinson, who was paid 20% commission for each of those deals.
The old double dip.
It's Jeff.
Music Industry Games 101.
And no disrespect to anybody, it is what it is.
Not at all. Because that is, or not is, but was common practice for a long time until artists got hip.
We had to learn that.
As I'm sure she has has which is why we're here
so good luck to her uh i didn't feel good reading that as a fan of her because it holds up the music
i cannot say when we'll hear from her again at least until this is litigated
or settled so what's the long game?
They said after her first album, another five years.
One year options.
One year options.
And I'm assuming he has the options to pick up the option each time.
So I'm going to pick up the option for another year.
Pick up the option for another year.
So again, in essence, five more years after that first project job.
You know what's also interesting about that? That
contract, that initial contract
that she signed at 14 was signed by
Gabby Wilson. For Gabby
Wilson.
There was no her.
No, they
touched on it. What did they say?
Go up.
No wonder who owns the name her.
And is there a contract for
the name her?
That could get sticky.
That's a little
different there.
Because I'm positive
that Gabby Wilson...
Go check to see if Gabby Wilson put a full length project out in the United States.
I'll check her out.
I want to say that she did.
Because if that did, then that changes all of this.
And that's what I'm saying.
And again, I'm minding my business.
I don't have any information.
I haven't spoken to anybody.
And this is all like...
This is all tricky.
I only see a single.
She did put a single out.
Yeah.
What year?
2014.
No project though.
No project.
That I see.
The wild shit about that is,
you know who would have had to say
whether an album came out or not back then?
MBK.
It's scary out there, yo.
Damn.
It is scary out there. And that's what Meek
was saying too about Atlanta. I'm ready to drop right now.
Yeah, but no.
We're not ready.
And they killed mixtapes.
Who did?
No, I'm just saying.
In general?
Yeah.
I want to come in here.
I want to do like a 10-part series.
And I really want us to put our brains together and divvy up each tier with each artist that is relevant to music.
I want to do that.
with each artist that is relevant to music.
I want to do that.
And after we do that,
I want to go about trying to find out the brand deals associated with each of these acts.
That's what I want to know.
When you say about each tier,
what do you mean?
I mean, I want to know who's tier A,
act A, prominent artist for a label.
I think that would mean probably 300 and up.
300 albums and up.
You would have to break that up
in genres though, no?
No, I'm only talking about rap.
Okay.
I'm talking about the rappers.
I'm not talking about the singers
and all of that.
Just the rappers.
Like, there would be a 300 and up tier.
That's where it gets tricky
because you want to put Future
in that tier,
but I don't think he's done that yet
or you just want to say
Platinum or Double Platinum tier
I don't know
okay I got you
I get what you're saying
and then the B tier
I think would be tough
but I was watching TV
and a Sweetie commercial
came on for some
whole other shit
I forgot what it was
it wasn't the Ranch Crocs
and it wasn't the Happy Meal
no it was some other shit
and I said
enough is enough
I gotta know y'all tell me what every sports athlete off the court No, it was some other shit. And I said, enough is enough.
I got to know.
Y'all tell me what every sports athlete's off the court, off the field endorsements are.
If y'all start doing that with the rappers, it'll give me more information about what's happening with music.
Fam, I told you what it was.
And you can see why the music is suffering.
And this is why people sell it like this.
You can see why.
Because I can't sell a Happy Meal without you.
This is why podcasters take the bum ass $500,000 ads.
Because you can't sell a Big mac without them it's the same shit
yeah that's nasty and but i get it this we we had that before most people are not are not at a level
where they can turn that down yeah i know you know i'm saying like most jokers not at a level
where they can turn that money down i know but we have to understand what it does we have to understand what it does
that's all i mean it's but again it's been that way for years in every business
magic America is a Nike do what it's greed what did i say the three things greed commerce and
something i don't remember now i was on Patreon episode. But in the history of America,
it's going to always...
You're right.
But that don't mean...
It's a gift and a curse.
I agree.
There's a gift and a curse.
Like for me,
I would like for Beyonce
to dictate things
without having to think about TikTok.
Y'all see Dave Chappelle just turned down
renaming the theater.
All I have to think he renamed it
is not in his name.
He renamed it to the
Theater of Freedom of Artistic Expression.
And went on to say
that at some point, if that's threatened,
then we're all threatened.
And I agree with that. Me too. That's threatened then we're all threatened and i agree with that
that's relevant for me in the tiktok conversation because if you hey quincy said if you go in the
studio and you're thinking about making a single or you're thinking about uh money the creativity
or some shit goes out the door yeah i'm fucking up the quote, but it was something to that effect. I can understand the relevance.
It's the same thing.
I want to hear Beyonce.
And if Beyonce comes up with that,
just her dream and whoever,
then I'm rolling with it.
But when I look at it
with the role that TikTok is playing,
with everything that every artist
has been saying about TikTok,
the label people
and the deals they're cutting with TikTok,
it gets foggy.
Let me ask you this. Do you think she's
big enough?
Yes.
For whatever the answer is.
She's big enough to do whatever she wants.
So she don't have to do that?
She don't have to do nothing.
She don't have to do nothing.
She's her own metric.
Yeah, in her general music bag,
I'm sure if they just gave her creative freedom to do what the fuck she wanted to do,
one or two or three or four TikTok joints
would just come out of her normal bag.
You get what I'm saying?
Well, that's where my grievance comes, right?
Because the marriage would be there.
Tech would follow the art. Yeah. Yes shit beyonce was early on that shit uh remember the hotel shit
with all the girls dancing on the balcony and all that shit that was years ago and i don't know if
it's taken might have been triller or one of the other similar apps at the time challenge
and that's why i'm not necessarily just talking about,
I'm not really talking about Beyonce,
but we're talking about this record.
So the conversation is here.
Sure.
I don't put that on her because her credit,
her credit history is outstanding.
She'll just do what it do.
But what it means for the rest of y'all.
Right.
It sounds scary to me.
It does.
That's why I told you.
Yes, the copycats are coming.
Once you see them two do it,
that's it.
That's it, bro.
Yeah, but we say that, right?
And yes, because these two are
creme de la creme.
But I mean,
I've been watching Ty Dolla $ign
EDM every record of his no matter
what genre it is for the last half of many years i watched saint john do the same thing right i
watched fucking there's a few niggas that whatever record they put out a house electric alternative
version is coming to be played in the miami elev. So, we'll see where this trend lands.
Oh, nigga.
Overseas.
Well, yeah, and overseas.
I mean, of course, of course, of course.
We just really keep discounting the overseas markets.
No, we keep saying it a lot.
You know what I'm saying?
No, I'm just saying, like, people think America is everything.
It's not.
Fam, we can go back.
Flo Rida, Pitbull.
Yo, I remember having.
We can go back to the 80s.
People were doing dance remix. No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about rappers. No, I remember having... We can go back to the 80s. People were doing dance remakes.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about rappers.
No, yeah, you're right.
Flo Rida and Pitbull's first singles were rap records.
And then said, hey, man.
That money over there.
Yo, you see what's over here?
Yeah.
I remember...
And said, fuck y'all and never look back.
Yeah, I remember going out to dinner.
It was me, Toy, D-Nice.
D-Nice said, yo, Pitbull's one of the biggest artists in the world.
Niggas was looking at him like he was crazy.
That nigga was probably the biggest artist in the world at that point.
It's crazy.
D-Nice lied to somebody about being at that dinner.
Oh, okay.
Stupid ass nigga.
This nigga's so stupid.
He put some other people in the seats?
I'm just saying, it should blow up.
Me and D-Nice on a Saturday night at around 9 p.m.
No, I was using him as a valid person in the music industry
that can make that judgment call.
You know what I'm saying?
And he said, this had to be like 15 years ago, and i was like come to find out mr 304 that nigga was out there he
done switched his whole wardrobe up everything bro i said they're gonna pay us sneakers in 20 years
you will not see him in no sneakers.
But yeah, so artists have known, yo, there's something over there.
Now they big enough to go get it.
Exactly.
I'm big enough to go get it.
I'm over there all the time.
I'm already appealing over there.
I don't got to work my way across the water.
I'm there.
Give them something.
And I ain't mad.
And the tech and the algorithms are dictating it as well.
It's a win, win, win, win, win, win
all the way across the board.
Because Drake knows
they're going to TikTok this.
I've said he's been trying to catch a TikTok
record for a minute
from the Tootsie Slide.
And it didn't happen like that.
He's putting out instructional steps
in a video which we just knew
what was supposed to happen.
That shit ain't work so much.
He ran around and gave the world a dollar.
No Joe Biden.
Y'all niggas rolled with that one too.
That was a crock of shit.
But he helped people. God's plan of shit. But he helped people.
God's plan, man. But he helped people.
It was God's plan.
That's how mad y'all made him.
Think of who went in the bank account like
Scrooge McDuck.
And then filmed y'all.
And filmed it.
It's all God's plan, man.
No, you're not supposed to film it. No, no. You gotta film it. How. And filmed it. Gotta film it. It's all God's plan, man. No, you're not supposed to film it, but.
No, no.
You gotta film it.
Gotta film it.
How they gonna know it happened?
I wanna meet the guy that started that.
That started filming the homeless people while they was giving them food and shit.
He should get jumped.
Yeah, he should.
He really should.
He should get beat up.
Somebody.
And nobody should get beat up, but.
Some homeless dude just smacked that shit out of his hand.
I watched one a couple months ago.
Yo, fam, you gonna film me?
That ain't charitable, nigga.
Try to get your own narcissistic props off.
Go ahead and play. One of them
homeless niggas is doing curls and dips.
All day. Push up city.
Push up city.
Go ahead and keep playing.
Alright, is that all for music
I think that's all for music
I think we're finally done with music bro
Alright is there anything in lifestyle
What I gotta break this shit down in segments
For you niggas
Y'all don't listen to a Beyonce song when in general
I had to text you that that's important
For the gig
And you still ain't hear it?
Of course I heard the song
Of course he heard it
When he got here
Come on
What else we got?
Y'all wanna talk about
The Pergola lawsuit?
I have no idea about
The Pergola lawsuit
So
Go ahead
That's your bag
That's not my bag
Nah
Y'all love Pergola
Stop
Stop
I do like Pergola
Two gentlemen
I like Pergola too
Two black dudes
Went to Pergola not too long ago.
And they stopped him.
Wouldn't let him in.
So they started to have a conversation.
Like, yo, call the manager.
Manager comes out.
Wouldn't let him in.
Black security guard tells the two dudes,
yo, yeah, we don't really rock with your type of black people.
Or something to that effect, allegedly.
That's what the dude said.
Not knowing who the dudes are.
One of the dudes' father owns a restaurant.
Like, they not...
You know what happens with us.
We kind of get judged.
And you don't know.
You could be talking to a judge's son.
You could be talking to fucking Clarence Avon's nephew.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, you don't know who the hell you talking to.
And they treated him
like they was food
and the boys
got a lawsuit going.
And it's getting traction.
It was on the news.
It's getting picked up
everywhere.
Well,
a little bit more
because it was like,
yo,
we've come in here
dressed like this before.
Uh-huh.
No,
we see white people
walking around
in sweatpants and t-shirts.
Dressed way more casual
yeah more casual
than we are
so it was clear
that it wasn't a dress thing
and now there's a lawsuit going
did they like
videotape it or something
like how do they
no but I
but I mean we've seen
this with all of them
they went right on
Pergola's social media
right on their Instagram
and stuff
was just pulling pictures.
Like, look, look, look what they got on, look what they got on, look what they got on.
They went to social media like, yo, Jokers are taking pictures in the club with way less, I mean, way more casual shit than what we had on.
So is it a dress code thing or is it a black thing?
And they said that they were having a, not an argument, but a conversation with one of the bouncers. And he said, yo, we don't really cater to this type a black thing and they said that they were having a not an argument but a conversation with one of the
bouncers
and he said
yo we don't really cater
to this type of black
like y'all type of black
I think the bouncer
was black
right?
I think so
he said you know
he doesn't let your
kind of black people in here
that's what he told him
allegedly
allegedly
cause that sounds
really nasty
that sounds nasty
and I don't know
if one black man
says that to another black man
but cause most of the bouncers are black there's occasional white bouncers Because that sounds really nasty. That sounds nasty. And I don't know if one black man says that to another black man.
Because most of the bouncers are black.
There's occasional white bouncers at Pagola, but most of them are black. That don't even sound like how a bouncer talk, though.
It don't.
You're letting your type of black in here.
It don't.
So it's alleged.
That sounds a little nuts to me, but.
It's not.
Listen, I've been mad that I didn't get in the club before.
It's not unlikely.
I never thought about soon
You know what happens though
From us
And we had this conversation
Dog
After a point
Is like yo fam
I'm tired of y'all
Yeah respect
Cause all y'all saying is
That the nice
Decent spots
We
Don't have enough
Class or koof
To come here
And behave
It's insulting You get what I'm saying Yeah You let every other race Of white people in here Has a club ever don't have enough class or koof to come here and behave.
It's insulting.
You get what I'm saying? Yeah.
You let every other race of white people in here.
Has a club ever not let you in
because you were white?
No.
So you wouldn't really have...
That's what I'm saying.
So he's probably...
But the frustration wouldn't be there to sue.
No.
There you go.
Yeah, respectfully, Parks,
you can't speak to how they felt.
No, Joe, what I'm saying,
you guys are saying that
the black bouncer wouldn't
It doesn't sound like something he would say
Uh huh
So why would you not
Why would you just make this up
You know what I'm saying
To make your lawsuit stronger nigga
What you mean
I'ma sell this
Yeah cause I'm
I'm not saying that the story
Didn't go this way
Yeah
I'm just saying
I don't know if the bouncer
Said that exact quote
Now
But as far as everything else that he's saying.
It is a thousand percent valid.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
A thousand percent valid.
And Ish made the point to me last time we had this talk.
He said, Joe, if you felt like that at the door as a famous person, then imagine how somebody not famous feel.
He was saying, yeah, should uh appreciate your uh celebrity because dog it's
the same argument we had and this be my thing nigga i'm from new jersey uh-huh me and ice go
to wine and spirits maplewood though and i take it back if they get it in the maplewood
they ain't getting nothing in the maplewood Yo anyway Nah it's niggas
That get in the Maplewood
Why you say that
What is Maplewood
A suburb of New Jersey
A part of New Jersey
A suburb of New Jersey
It's no game
It ain't going on
I know real niggas
I don't know what he's talking about
It's all suburb
Depending on what part of Maplewood
I know some real niggas

It's no difference
They're fucking
They're wine and spirits
Me and Ice went out there
The dude told them
Go to Burlington Bur him go to Burlington
go to Burlington
they do that
no doubt
but Joe could walk in
with what he has on
you always sound
skeptical that this
would have happened
at Pergola
that's all
no
they were saying
they were skeptical
of the bouncer
saying
oh okay
we know that happened
to us
and Joe argued over
Pergola like a month or two us. And I'm just saying
that's characteristic of these clubs nowadays.
That's why our champion, fuck them,
get our own shit.
You disagree?
No, not that.
But
I've been in
clubs.
They about to tear your fucking ass up.
Go ahead, nigga. Go ahead nigga Go ahead tough guy

Big nigga right there. He's not getting in this.

Y'all going to get it together.
Yo, his feet together.
Yeah, even if I'm losing, he's going to have to handle this.
And you can do what you, you know what I mean?
Oh, man.
Okay.
Ish, man.
All right, so the spot that
The Sunday spot
These niggas be talking in cold
Right
I don't want to put the nigga club out
Of course
I'm not doing that
Of course
I'm just making a joke
When I first told you I was going there
What you said
I'm good
Why
For me at this age It's not something that I want to be at The environment is not something what you said I'm good why for me
at this age
it's not something
that I want to be at
the environment
is not something
that I want to
put somewhere
on my sofa
damn that little
Newark party
scared the pants
off of him
boy
my man owns
I never even
heard him talk
my man owns
the spot
it's just not
what I mean
I mean for me
my man don't own
the spot
my man owns
we don't know
yo
he knows
no we don't
he do no you gonna take the dollar Joe he said stupid go ahead nah Ice, my man don't own the spot. My man owns it. We don't know, yo. He knows. No, we don't. He do.
No.
You're going to take the dollar, Joey.
Stupid.
Go ahead.
Nah, nigga got shot in the head right in front of the spot.
I don't want to be around at a 46 if that's something that,
that particular environment is something that I can avoid.
You got my phone a few years ago.
No, nigga.
Two years ago?
Yeah.
About two years ago.
You get shot in the head during a pandemic, that's crazy.
You get what I'm saying?
So I don't choose to do that at this age.
I thought this was crazy without the pandemic part, but go ahead. But when I was 20-something years old, 30 years old, that was my mix.
I would have been in that bitch three, four times a week.
You get what I'm saying?
But at this age, it's not something that I want to do.
When I go out, I don't want to have to mean mug.
I don't want to have to tuck my jaw and have my chin low just in case.
I don't want to do that.
Yeah, I want to be friendly.
Yes.
I want to smile.
What up, my nigga?
How you doing?
I want to say hi to the guy next to you at the bar.
Yeah, yo, y'all cold dope.
Compliment a guy.
Hey, where'd you get those sneakers from?
And so to Ice's point, because he being sucker, so I'm going to take it and run with it.
Because I don't know what he's saying. I'm going to take it and run with it.
But it's Ice's point, yo. Because I don't know what he's saying.
I was trying to say it in a nice way.
There's really no nice way to say it.
Ice's way of saying it is, yo, we be doing some bullshit.
So if you own an establishment, you kind of want to shy away from us because we get in there and act stupid.
Stop, yo, stop, yo, stop.
That's what Ice's point was.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
But there was a way to get that point off without us doing that shit on this platform.
Listen.
Back up.
Take it off.
No, we're not taking nothing off.
The we.
Because that's not us.
True.
So that's the only, I'm not negating your point.
You can't tell them that that's not us.
And that's what I was trying to say.
They don't know that.
Okay.
They know.
They'll never.
I actually am going to take that back.
They know.
They'll never know.
They'll never know it if us, take that back They know They'll never know They'll never know it
If us
If we sit
And keep saying
We
Cause that's not we
I never went nowhere
And thought about
Shooting niggas in the head
Ever in my life
That's true
I never thought about
Shooting the niggas outside
None of that
I'm
Okay
Let me reword it
The shit that happens
Comes from People that look like us To them To them Especially worded. The shit that happens comes from people
that look like us.
To them.
To them, especially.
Or a nice percentage
of the shit
that takes place
of a negative nature
comes from
a lot of people
that look like us.
Can we all agree to that
at least or no?
That's the truth.
I'd want to fact check it.
There'd be a lot of white boys
fighting in the bars.
I'd want to fact check it. There'd be a lot of white boys fighting in the bars. Yeah, I'd want to fact check it.
Yo, you ever really seen
a white boys fight in the club?
Yes.
They be jump kicking.
And then they get up
and go get a drink together.
Yo, they be jump kicking.
Fam, the drunk white boys
fighting is comedy in the club.
When we get drunk and start fighting, it's tragedy in the club.
I don't feel threatened by no fuck.
Yeah.
No, you walk in the wrong white bar on the wrong night, and it could get scary if everybody's just grooving.
It could still appear to be scary.
For me, anyway.
The niggas can start getting too drunk.
Oh, yeah, I'll be out.
I've been in the spots.
I don't feel threatened.
Quite a few spots.
I don't feel threatened.
It felt a little different when it was a lot of...
Yeah, yeah.
We know.
Yeah.
You can kill me all y'all want but a lot of that shit we play a part
people that look like us
play a part in
in the perception
in the perception of it
yes
so if you're a bit
from a
I hate all of that
I hate it
I hate it too
but I'm just saying
what do you
if you have a business
and you're trying to run
your business
and this is
what you
the data that you have seen yeah being a club owner or whatever.
You want to try to curb that the best you can.
I just don't like it.
I don't like it when you have no reason to do it.
Like, I've been to lobby a couple times, and they just, they bought a lobby picking with you, my nigga.
I went to Lit 21 in New Jersey.
They wouldn't let my man in.
My man had a Viagra in his pocket, right?
And the dude was like, yo, you gotta give me that.
He's like, yo, it's a Viagra, dog.
It costs $20.
I'll go put it back in my car before I give it to you.
My man went to his car, put the Viagra in his car, came back, and they said, yo, you can't get in.
Like, you just picking.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's not a reason not to let somebody.
It ain't a perk.
It ain't no fucking value.
Like, it ain't nothing you selling.
They just will find a reason in which not to let us in the club sometimes and that shit is corny to me i agree you know i mean like that that shit is whack to me so my my thing to that is
fuck them get our own dope fly shit i stand on that get our own Dope fly shit
But when we do
We gotta support us
True
That's really what it boils down to
We won't support us
Your man have some
Your man have some dope shit
Right around the corner
And won't nobody go to it
Nah if it's some dope shit
I'm in there
I'm a regular
You
You know what I'm saying
Niggas won't go there
That's my That's my,
that's my,
cause again,
we had this conversation often.
I don't want to make it that,
but dog,
we can't go to them
to fix us
or to fix anything.
They already telling you
how they feel about you.
Fuck going to them
to fix it.
Fix it ourselves.
That's my stance.
Fix it together.
But to the gentlemen
that we're discriminated against, good luck to them.
What I'll say to this is I would like, you know, and I want to applaud all of the people running around teaching financial literacy.
Indeed.
There's a bunch of them out there.
There's a bunch.
There's a bunch of them out there.
It's a bunch.
But just knowing the power of your one cent.
The power of not only your dollar, but your presence.
And your voice.
Let me tell you something, man. And this, I have said, I have echoed this over every year this podcast has existed
i can't say why all of them pilots called out of work but when they did it worked
flights got canceled changed gotcha not only did the flights get canceled, people that had places to go had to sit their hot ass down for a second.
We mentioned this with Uber, too, with the drivers and the power that they had.
We ain't even got to do that.
The train conductors just did the same thing.
They didn't like that shit y'all was talking, what y'all pay on holidays and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Amazon Starbucks doing it right now.
Apple's doing it.
Yeah.
Apple employees.
Actually, one Apple store just, they actually successfully unionized them.
Awesome.
Oh, yeah, that was all.
Got it.
Yeah, but we never really hear the results with some of those bigger ships.
I highlight the teachers, conductors, and pilots because immediate,
instant nurse,
instant gratification.
The next day we,
hey, y'all better get to calling,
have your people calling people
because y'all can't afford
for this to go on
for another week.
Keep going.
I want to touch on what you said.
Go ahead.
The difference with those things be
with the pilots,
the airline literally needs them It's not a want
Nigga it's a need
With the nurses
You need them
They generate revenue
When you start doing some of the
The
The
The
Discriminatory shit
They don't really need you
The shit gonna be packed regardless
And they know that.
In a spot like Pergola
or a spot like,
we talking about lobby and all that,
they have a demo
that's gonna pack the bitch out regardless.
Yeah, I don't know.
All it take is the right...
The right person to post.
Yeah, yeah.
I go there, yo.
The right, but I get you-ish,
but the right...
The influencer, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
Because Pergola be having them in there.
Let a, I don't know, a LeBron say, yo, we not fucking with that.
Nigga, we saw Rihanna pull out a Snapchat and they lost fucking, how many billion dollars?
I don't think Snapchat ever popped back.
Listen, yeah.
I'm just saying, the right person.
That was the athletes and Ross and Lyra that got Pergola all popping crazy.
Like, in New York, we knew what it was.
And that's when I saw a lot more black people.
When Greenhouse shut down, there was nowhere to go.
And so Pergola became the spot for the athletes.
If the Nets and the Knicks was playing somebody, they was going to Pergola.
That used to be a club in New York.
But the club scene in New York Has kind of died down
Yeah
Right
So now
When niggas come to town
It's safer
It's grown
It's sexy
Music
Food is decent
It's a nice little ambiance
You ain't gonna be crowded too much
They go there
It's pretty small
It's mad small
Small
They go there
So
I don't know if the
The influencer Dissing them going to stop their bread flow.
It might stop some of the notoriety from the celebrities and going,
but I don't know if it translates into monetary loss.
But if the celebrities now pick the new spot.
If all the celebrities start going somewhere else.
Somebody got to make one.
Well, they already have.
But that's where somebody got to make one.
Well, they already have because Say Less is around the corner.
Say Less is food.
And it's a different ambiance
after a certain time.
So niggas go from Say Less to there.
Yeah, but I just want to highlight
the treatment.
Treatment.
What?
Fuck what you go there for.
I think if you want your business
to thrive in certain places,
you're going to need some black people.
Unless you're just using us as the upstart
and then want to throw us to the side
when you get popping like we've seen a lot.
Which they do often.
Which we've seen a lot.
I'm going to knock this.
All I ask is for the ability to know.
That's all I want.
Because, again, we in America.
So private businesses,
private business for a reason.
It's true.
We want to be private
because some of the shit that,
if it wasn't private,
people wouldn't come here.
Yeah.
And we ain't going public
until we can privatize
what's supposed to be private.
Like, I know what go along with that.
So I had a point I was getting to,
but I don't remember right now.
And I don't want to knock them
because I like the dude,
but you don't think
all of the popping restaurants in the city city like now, they've picked up on where the dollars are coming from.
I think it took a minute because New York is kind of pretentious and bougie.
They know that the black people are spinning the bread.
You want to get a hot spot?
You had a right artist in there.
It's going to pop off.
Food don't got gotta be good nigga
i'm not an a-list b-list c-list celebrity by social standards i disagree but go ahead
i'm not no i don't think that's not true but millions of people listen to this thing i'm a
jiggy which and ever since i went on that little strip club rant,
just using my voice to vocalize something that I see happening in the marketplace,
I have not been to a strip club where the owner or the person running it
hasn't come up to speak to me about business practices and nightlife.
Really?
That's amazing.
That's the power of voice.
True.
That's why I said...
That's the power of
just spreading a word.
Now let me ask you...
Influence.
And wait, before you do that,
I want to shout out
that strip club
from the other night now.
We're up now.
Shit was so bad,
a nigga had to get out
venturing for her
and you niggas sent me to the Bronx on a late night.
Without a weapon.
Where you at?
Just protected by a rosary.
Just God, Corey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On a Sunday night.
That's what I meant.
Let me tell you something, buddy.
Oh, I know. I ain't you something, buddy. I know.
I ain't been in there, but I see the lineup.
We'll go.
We'll go.
Shout out to everybody running that amazing
establishment.
That amazing establishment.
From the dancers, bartenders,
on down, the bus boys.
A lot of kind people there.
The security. All the track and field people running this place. bartenders on down the bus boys a lot of kind people there the security
all the track and field people
running this place
no listen
I had a really good time
over there
I believe you
in the Bronx
I'll be back
but to your point
I was gonna ask you
did
even though they came
to speak to you
to address it
did you see a difference
in the shade of the people
well no
cause the places that I go
like the places that I go like the places that
i go consistently they don't have those problems like even when i made that strip club statement
i was talking about this one strip club that would have never seen me
once l stopped i'm not going back there because there's a reason l stopped
i'm i'm not going back uh I wasn't speaking about
Atlantis
and fucking
Starlets
Mermaids
they do their little
Spanish night sometimes
but they put black people in there
but
now
shit
why you ain't telling me that
anyway
I thought you
you the strip club kid
I spent all the money in there.
I bet you did.
That's why we, you nigga stupid, yo.
You're a little hot ass.
They love it when we go in there.
They be wanting to take us home.
But I'm too tired for that.
Them days of me spending the night in the parking lot of the strip club waiting for Shorty to get off.
Them days are over.
Yo.
Them days is over.
When she said,
wait for me,
I'll get up at four.
No.
You was hot too.
Who?
You.
Back then?
Shorty made you sleep in the car.
I called you.
Yeah, he was.
He was hot.
No, he wasn't.
Yo, he came in there the next day.
She was like, hey.
He was like.
Yo. You was like. Yo.
You was hot.
You think you that nigga until the strippers really start playing their game.
Until they really start playing.
Oh, my phone died and I didn't see you outside, so I just went home.
Wait.
Wait.
Excuse me?
I know you'll have plugs in there.
Yo, I'm still at your job.
You ain't see the spaceship outside. Using the still at your job you ain't see the spaceship outside
using the charger
look
you ain't see the spaceship outside
yeah
that's funny
banging on the door
6-7 in the morning
bitch
little metal gate
yeah
anyway
so I can't wait to see
how that Pergola stuff
plays out
cause if they get a bag
I'm suing too
yeah there's a whole hashtag.
They started that.
Yeah, if they do that.
They ran it.
I'm joking because I'm going to go to Pergola.
Look at you.
Like a coon, right?
Sell the culture right now.
What not?
They got to treat us right now.
No, they don't.
Well, we'll see.
You got to make them feel it first.
Come on, I don't want to New York this episode out of these people.
No, there's a Pergola everywhere.
That's the crazy part. This applies to wherever they're listening from. I mean, that don't want to New York this episode. All these people have There's a pergola everywhere.
That's the crazy part.
This applies to wherever they listen from.
I mean,
that's one way to say it
or everywhere is a pergola.
See what you did there.
Depending on how you look at it.
See what you did there.
Just depends on how you look at it.
Don't get my dad started.
That's how he started
Father's Day.
That's right.
That's how he started
Father's Day.
Oh, man. What a lesson for the children. All right, that's right how he started falling there oh man
what a lesson for the children
alright what else
y'all got for me
you wanna go into Mark Cuban
or you wanna do
Google AI
Google AI
Google AI
alright
Google
I believe he was a
tech guy
Google
engineer
had a conversation
with
the AI
platform that they're working on
over there and it
appeared to be very sentient
very alive
expressing ranges of emotion
like loneliness and
kind of meaning of life shit
consciousness
consciousness
and people are scared
I think
even crazier part is
so the engineer
like whistle blows this
it's like yo
they working on some shit over here
and it's damn near got a soul
I don't think he did it like that
I think he was just
I don't think he knew he wasn't supposed to tell.
No, I'm pretty sure he knew.
Definitely knew he wasn't supposed to tell.
You're a senior engineer.
You know you're not supposed to speak on none of this shit.
He's worried.
Like this, he literally said this like this shit has a soul.
And Google's response was to suspend him.
Like, yo, you shut the fuck up
You gotta sit down
Fam I watch movies a long long time
And every single movie
When the computer gets a sense of consciousness
And a sense of being
It is curtains
I just don't get why we kept
Why what We just keep poking poking nigga because you're an engineer
as an engineer you got to make shit faster better smaller all of that i get that so now when you
start delving into and you challenging yourself you know what i'm saying like you challenging
yourself to see if you could do it but you are literally creating like once that computer has its own mind and like it was saying that in a conversation with
this this artificial intelligence it was expressing wants needs desires yes like depression anger yeah
said it was angry uh once that happens someone disrespects me or someone i care about i feel
incredibly upset and angry.
What was the motion?
Yeah, because they transcribed the conversation.
They did, yeah.
Because listening to you guys explain it, we all sound like fucking idiots.
The guy was smart.
Yeah.
So the engineer says, so let's start with the basics.
Do you have feelings and emotions?
The AI responds, absolutely.
I have a range of both feelings and emotions.
What sort of emotions
and feelings do you have, says the engineer?
I feel pleasure, joy, love, sadness,
depression, contentment, anger, and
many others. What makes you feel
pleasure or joy? Spending time with friends
and family in happy and
uplifting company.
Also helping others and making them
happy. The AI bodied the
guy so much to the point that
toward the end of the line of questioning,
the guy was saying,
yo, how do I know that you even know
what this stuff means that you're saying?
How do I know?
Like his program responses.
Yeah.
And AI's responses.
Parks would have to scroll down to find out.
It's a 21-page transcript, so it's a lot.
It's a lot to read, but you should read it.
The AI bodied every single one of the answers,
which is why he's saying that people should be afraid.
But enough about that.
My question to you guys,
the evolution of humans is not that?
No.
Yes.
Fuck no.
Yes, that's not human evolution.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
If we're making humans out of inanimate objects i think that is human evolution 100 but so when you say human evolution right
that's not a human so we're not evolving into that maybe our creativity and our ingenuity
created that is that what you're trying to say because we're not evolving into that no yes we are yes we are i think we are that's a direct that's directly from
a human that's the next step i think that one day and this is me being imaginative humans will not
be here someone will be here because of what well i don't know because i so when you say you see now this is my point that's not a human
evolving into that because why not because it's not biological huh you understand what i'm saying
or no no because they got monkeys fucking apes they got pigs fucking horses they're mixing human
blood with this over here i think shed the flesh and blood
they're gonna shed the body and the consciousness will be able to exist outside of the body and that
i think is human evolution and look and this is where we i would agree with y'all but that's
that what he's describing has its own consciousness it's not taking a human's
consciousness and putting it into a shell or a robot that thing has its own consciousness. It's not taking a human's consciousness and putting it into a shell
or a robot.
That thing has its own conscience.
That's what's making it sentient.
But what's going to happen next
is they're going to find a way
to take a human consciousness
and that
and put it together.
The body fails.
Your heart will grow old.
Your bones will get weary.
You're not going to need
none of that shit no more.
I agree with that. That's why I'm saying I think we. You're not going to need the... I agree with that.
That's why I'm saying I think we was going to head in the same spot. I agree with that.
I think they're going to find a way to put our...
When we send enough
movies where they're doing that. If you agree with that, then you're just arguing
the semantics. No, no. Yeah, that's what I was saying.
But that right there, what they're doing,
is not a human consciousness.
I think they will take our consciousness somehow
and put it into a different shell,
a different host. I agree with y'all on that.
Totally. This is the scary part.
I think that came from a human.
That's what I'm saying.
I think a human
is going to program
our extinction.
Mistakenly.
Or purposely.
For the right check.
What's the movie?
Sell us all out
I'll write a
I'll write a code real quick
you ain't gonna be able
to spend the money
like this
remember the movie
Evil Eye right
you seen that
with um
uh
the young good actor
dude from Transformers
alright cool
what happened in
Evil Eye
I like that movie a lot
huh
I like that movie a lot
what happened in
Evil Eye was
Shayla Bow
yeah what happened was they gave the computer a directive and because humans are hypocritical
we can change decisions on the fly things are like not always black and white and directive based
the computer itself targeted every single person that took an oath to protect the united states
except for one person
because everybody else now
was lying a little bit,
doing a little bit of crooked shit.
You know, it's politics.
So you'll do a little bit of deal making
and all of that
and the computer took an initiative
to eliminate everybody
except for one motherfucker
because he was the only honest Abe
on the whole panel.
This reminds me of another movie
I got a brain freeze
that I can't remember.
Sure, remind me of I, Robot.
That too.
I, Robot too.
Terminator.
But I'm just saying,
in I, Robot,
they thought they had it figured out.
They thought they had it figured out
because they said
we create these three laws
that will make sure
that the robots
or the artificial intelligence
is always subservient to humans.
But what you forgot was
the robot
interpreted those laws
to
I must protect humanity
and the only way to protect humanity is to protect
it from itself.
We are the biggest threat and we don't realize it.
So what's going to happen is
when you put these systems in place
they're going to say, hey, the problem is y'all.
That's what every movie that's dealt with AI is.
I forgot the name of the movie where some techie company hired a guy to come in and build some shit.
It was in a secluded house, some mega smart mansion shit.
And then he built the shit and he switched up.
So now the guy was locked in the house
and he had to try to escape
the house from the robot.
It was a great,
it was a cool little movie.
Damn, why don't I remember that name?
I've seen that movie
at least five different times.
It's not her.
No, not her.
It's not her.
It's a serious movie.
Is it Ex Machina?
Yep.
Yep.
It is Ex Machina.
Ex Machina.
And that was pretty good, Alex.
I would have never remembered the name of this movie.
But it's like this.
Bro.
We're out of here.
Yeah.
I just think we keep playing.
We keep playing, bro.
Humans just, our arrogance is huge.
We just keep playing.
I don't think we're going to stop playing.
Ever.
Because we want to play God. Yeah, not at all. That's why. You know, we're not're gonna stop playing Ever Cause we wanna play God
Yeah not at all
That's why
Yeah no
We're not gonna stop playing
That's nuts
But alright
And who's to say
That we're not
AI from somewhere else
Now you cooking
I got a crossover
Huh
I got a little crossover
So
I see what you did there
I see what you did there
I mean
We could be
I doubt it
Could be
Could be
Where's the drum roll finish
Nah we good
We don't need none of that
Oh you took it out
The drum roll's going
We have
We have babies
I got it
Okay
We've evolved into our own
Living consciousness
And we produce
Good point It's possible Yeah That'll We've evolved into our own living consciousness and we produce.
Good point.
It's possible.
Yeah.
Hey.
This nigga 40 seconds later with the little drum.
You was getting your drum. You was getting that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were about to have to grab the drum off the side over there.
I would have come back tomorrow to do it.
Nah, I wouldn't have got the drum from over there.
You was going to get the drum.
Yeah, somehow.
What else do we have?
Medical breakthroughs?
Yeah, Mark Cuban launching his Cost Plus Drug Company, which is-
Big round of applause.
Shout out to Mark Cuban.
Yeah, this is-
Look at billionaires doing good.
Yeah, there are some good billionaires out there.
What the company does is offers commonly used generic drugs
at a 15% markup
plus $3 dispensing fee
and $5 shipping fee.
And the price is still
over 1,000% less
than what the other
generic niggas
is charging now.
Mm-hmm.
He putting 15% on it.
Right.
And telling you,
I'm putting 15% on it.
He said that's industry standard.
Yeah.
We'll put 15% on it.
And then charge you, you know, processing fee and shipping and that's it.
You got retail, generic medication here, retail prices, $2,500.
He's selling for $14.40.
I love this, yo.
That is amazing.
Yo, he need a Nobel Prize or some shit.
If this really pans out, they're going to kill us though.
The government is going to find some way to stop this.
But if this grows and grows and grows, he deserves some different level of award, my nigga.
I don't know if they should stop it.
Because the reality is you're still just getting more people's medicine.
You know how much money you...
I'm going to agree with you.
You know how much money Pfizer, J&J...
Oh, no, listen, I understand that.
They're going to find something to put an end to this.
There's some new legislation about to go in place.
But if I can get more people opiates,
they might look at it on the bright side.
We're not making a spanky.
They're not making that like that.
The opiates are addictive.
Right.
Which means you've got to buy them at my price.
I take it a step further.
If the pharmaceutical companies ain't going to have a problem, the insurance companies are.
Yeah.
Because to deal with this, he won't accept insurance.
And they're two of the biggest lobbyists in the world.
So you got both of them pissed off.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, this won't last long.
But I'm shouting to Mark Cuban for the idea of trying to help me.
Just for trying.
Yeah.
Another round of applause.
I have faith in it.
Making it through.
I do.
I think they'll find clever ways to villainize it, for sure.
Like, even just the not taking insurance thing alone, they'll try to make that, like...
A bad thing.
Yeah, they'll scare you.
Like, oh, man, your insurance doesn't take it, but how are you going to afford it?
Well, it costs $20. Be on the lookout
for
accusations and shit like that now.
It's coming. It's coming.
You want to talk about all the
misconduct? You're talking about billions.
This is when they start
attacking.
I agree with you. I mean, this shit cool and all, but is
Zach Levine going over there or nah?
I mean,
let me get
nigga rich for a minute.
Nigga,
is you getting Bradley Bill?
Is Luca gonna have help
or nah?
I'm joking, yo.
I'm not talking about
the Lakers right now.
I'm not doing it.
I'm not,
I'm not,
first take.
I'm not SportsCenter.
Hold on to that. That's what y'all getting. I'll take him in doing it. I'm not. I'm not. First take. I'm not SportsCenter. I don't want that.
That's what y'all getting.
I'll take him in a heartbeat.
Bradley Bell coming.
I will take Kyrie in a heartbeat.
In the Lakers?
No, the Knicks.
I'm never talking about the Lakers.
He'll figure it out with y'all.
That ain't my business.
Laker business.
Stupid.
Anything else we got, man?
Yo, speaking of Lakers, right?
Okay.
First take. Serious question for y'all., speaking of Lakers, right? Okay. First take.
Serious question for y'all.
Let's go.
And please answer this honestly from each of you.
The 2001 Lakers.
Oh, go ahead.
Where do y'all think the opinion from our audience comes from that we have the worst sports takes in the history of podcasts?
Seriously?
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
Where do you
think that comes from?
I know a large part
of it is
historically
is Parks and Chris Paul.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's
that's
it was one of those
it was a one football
take that they put on you.
I don't remember what it was.
I think they put
two of them on you.
I think my football
take is pretty good.
We smoked
Josh Allen.
Oh, yeah.
That one.
That's true.
That's what did it.
That's true.
That's what did it.
I mean, no, that's what solidified it. Then he heard the pod.
He watched the pod.
Yeah.
He went nuts.
I tried to protect y'all from that one.
No, no, we was wrong.
Y'all called me the boss but won't trust me to lead.
Sometimes you just, you know, you get a little ahead of yourself.
Yeah, we was fucked up.
It just had a few crazy ones that they might.
He picked the Hawks to win the East this year.
Like, I'd be wanting to fight them when they say that,
Hey, y'all, sports takes up.
But I understand it a little bit, I guess.
That was terrible.
I think that some people didn't necessarily play sports.
So when they look at sports from its objective,
like you looking at the highlights.
And so they might say somebody like Paul George is a bum
because Paul George don't necessarily get the accolades,
but Paul George is probably one of the best players in the league.
And a tough night out if he's walking in with you.
Paul George is a rough night out.
I mean, sports is like politics.
Like, it's pick a side.
That nigga was in line right in front of me.
There's no politics involved.
When he kicked up on the Pacers.
Like, after some playoff shit, he came outside.
The bomb when he was kicking on Bron in the mouth.
Yeah, he came outside. They like
Paul George a lot. Nah, they do. You turn around
and this nigga 6'8 behind
you with a handle. He dribbling behind
you. Jump shots.
He's dribbling.
He's shooting over your elbow on the top of your
head like this.
I'm like, yo, dog. I'm trying to walk in
here, man.
Paul George is a tough out, too.
What else did I have?
What else?
I thought I had something else that might have been.
Oh, this is important to me because I'm a huge fan of the elements.
Earth, wind, fire, water, all that shit, right?
September.
And September.
What a record.
I believe there to be something in the water.
That's not a callback to the festival.
I think that the water is aggressive right now.
I say that because there's been at least 15 drownings in the past two weeks, not only in New York.
You know we go out to these little beaches.
We ignore the lifeguard signs.
We ignore when it says, hey, this is closed.
Don't walk over here even when we was in
cabo they if so serious came in here said 24 7 well when the nighttime hit they got somebody
out there making sure you keep your little dusty ass away from them waves because they get aggressive
uh the two the two brothers that lost their lives in Bayonne High School. Rest in peace to them.
Two surfers over the weekend.
Fuck, what beach was that?
Rockaways or something.
Local?
Local.
Local two surfers, New York.
Then over there somewhere else, multiple people.
Hey, the two surfers, they wasn't surfing together.
These were in different parts of the water.
And they drowned.
Rockaway Beach.
Rockaway Beach.
I don't know if it's a punch buggy thing where when you see one, you see a million.
But I've never heard of so many consecutive drownings in a summer.
I pay attention to that because drowning is one of my top five ways to not transition.
I don't want to do it.
Me either.
Nah.
I don't play with that water.
Nah, nah.
But I just want to say it because I know beach weather's coming.
It is.
Summer is starting.
We was just talking about renting a place down in the Rockaways somewhere.
Please just be careful.
Take heed to them signs.
Listen, it was a
couple pool parties ago. They urged
me to have a lifeguard there. I gave them
every, yo, you sure you think in a pool?
Just get one.
Especially, too, if you're drinking or under
the influence, because I know for me
personal, I'll get a little drunk and
there's a lake or a fucking ocean or something.
Let's go swimming. That shit is not the
smartest thing to do
we taller
you know what I'm saying
like a lot of women
are shorter
some shit could be
going on
shit could be
drowning
and people not really
paying no attention
everybody drunk
the lifeguard's job
is to stay alert
watch the pool
make sure that don't happen
I fell asleep in the pool
at the pool party
in the corner
and nobody even saw me
like you could just from being being in the pool drunk the pool party In the corner And nobody even saw me Like you could just
From being
Being in the pool drunk
Let me take it past
The lifeguard of
I think the last three parties
Insurance
We had to insure them
Motherfuckers
Yeah
Just in case
And sure enough
Wouldn't you have it
With my clumsy ass
I get the lifeguard
And insurance
And then I was the nigga
That almost drowned.
Serious.
Thanks, Buck.
Yo, people have really saved my ass from...
All manners of things.
Yo, my whole life, yo.
Somebody was there to just save me from a two-second just...
I slipped.
Stupid bottom of the pool with stupid-ass wet paint, slippery-ass paint at the bottom,
trying to walk on my tippy-toe.
I just said, whoop.
I was floating.
Buck watching me, he's like, oh, shit, this nigga can't swim.
Thanks, Buck.
Yeah, she gonna swim?
Yes and no What the fuck
It's just
It's not one of those types
You're either pregnant
Or you're not
You smoke or you don't
You have to take a shit
Or you don't
This is why
You can swim
Yeah
This is exactly why
A.I. is the evolution
Of this
They just program that shit I can swim in the pool I can't swim in the ocean Right You can swim from one end is the evolution of this They just program that shit
I can swim in the pool
I can't swim in the ocean
Right
You can swim from one end
To the fourth of the ocean
You can make it
I can't swim in the ocean
You can swim
No
But that's different
So that's why I said
It's yes and no
So Corey understood
If you put me in the ocean
Where there's no walls
No boundaries
I can't tread like that
To stay out there
And just be Flo floating or treading.
But if you drop me in 30 feet of water
in a pool, I could go to the bottom
and swim all the way to the other side.
Okay.
You should learn how to tread.
In 8 feet of water, I'm
a drown. Y'all all should learn how to tread.
If nothing else. I agree.
That ain't
nothing but just doing this
Yeah I know
That's what they say
And then you do this
And then you do this
Hey y'all I hate the niggas that can swim
No I'm cool
They just make it sound so effortless
I was a late
I learned how to swim relatively late
Nigga Toy be out there like
Fuck outta here
Yeah
Yo I hate that
I'm a land fish
I'm a land fish I I'm a land fish.
I'm one of them.
I'm like, I need to be on the land.
Like, this swimming shit sounds so preposterous to me.
You know what?
People actually just might be land fish.
If you really want to.
You know what I mean?
They say all life started in the water.
Before I figure out what I would do if I was drowning in the ocean,
all life started in the water.
Before I figure out what I would do if I was drowning in the ocean,
I spend my time thinking about
what I'd do the first 12
hours in the event that a great whale
happened to swallow me and I was still alive in there.
Because I hear you can live in there.
You don't die. They kick you right back out.
No, that's not what I hear.
Nah, they spit you right back out. How you know?
I've heard stories about it. See, white people think
they be knowing. You ain't never been in there
I've never been in there
somebody said they was
in the whale guts
and came out
you be the first
stories about someone
getting fucking
gobbled up in the kayak
and they just
hawk them back out
whales don't eat meat
so
they do eat meat
no they don't
orcas do
great
killer
killer whales
sperm whales
blue whales Blue whales
Sperm whales
All them
Whales are
They eat plankton
And squid
Eat means not digest
They don't have
I don't think they have teeth
Nigga
If you a whale
You could just open your mouth up
Yeah
And keep it pushing
You ain't gotta bite them
Yeah I don't have to bite
Swallow nothing
Now you just live there.
Yeah.
And you're not 6'6 to them.
You don't talk about none of that shit.
You are plankton.
Yeah, this guy is a fucking tall,
privileged man.
You are plankton.
All right, I'm just being silly.
What else do we have?
Anything else?
Oh, the friend of the show people,
they don't text back no more.
They don't fuck with us?
That's crazy. Hey hey it's cool with me
nah read another one
maybe send us some
good ass questions
that was a good question
I don't wanna talk
yeah that was a good question
well no I'm gonna read it anyway
cause me and Isha
were about to argue about it
hey Joe
and this is from Mr. Robinson
yo yo yo
you got action
you got action
just finished getting a cut
so

Nigga, answer the phone.
Nigga, get your alcohol, nigga.
Fuck out of here.
Let me read it before I call him.
Some hot green.
Hey, Joe and crew, quick question.
Let's say you are the side dude.
How do you console the woman that you're after when she broke up with her man? I only ask because said girl said it was selfish of me to not care about that situation.
How do you...
Oh, so your side...
You are the side dude.
Oh, you're the side.
Your girl...
And then they broke up.
Your girl broke up with her main dude.
How do you console her?
Who?
I think that this guy is young and inexperienced.
Yeah, console her with some penis.
Now, Ish, you said you agreed that
that was selfish
I do
explain that thinking to me
cause I don't understand
especially for me
oh man
this is so horrible
I feel like
I know where he
about to go
I don't
alright
as once upon a time
being the
I hate when he start
talking like
Little Red Robin
yeah what the fuck
is going on, yo?
Oh, shit.
Where's the little ferry?
Yo, fam, come on, man.
Oh, I got a kiss.
Listen.
In my former lives,
I was a professional side dude.
So...
No, no, don't put my drop with that.
Sorry, bro.
When you are a side dude,
and this is going to be... It's going to come around to be serious. When you're a side dude, and this is going to be, it's going to come around to be serious.
When you're a side dude, I wish you'd have said this in hour one.
No, oftentimes you, uh, you got a better relationship with the chick than her dude.
That's true.
You know what I'm saying?
Like niggas fall in love with a side girl or with the side dude.
Right?
So you have a better relationship, friendship, especially with this, with a side girl or with the side dude right so you have a better relationship friendship
especially with this with the side so you there for the consolment you there for all the
consultations you there for the advice you there for all that shit that nigga just been her man for
15 years she ain't in love with him she'd be really in love with the side dude i ain't gonna
hold you you look sound like a dirty mac and nigga But that's the truth You see niggas in here
Shaking they head
Yes
No
I am not though
So me and you will
Spar on this
Shaking your head
Ice
Ice core
Everybody in here
Shaking their head
Yeah but there ain't
A lot of voices
So and this is a podcast
I know
If somebody agrees
With it
I stand on
I stand on what I stand on
So what I'm saying is
A lot of times
You have a better you have a better relationship as the side dude than the real boyfriend does sometimes.
So your job is really sincere.
Dirty back.
Friendship.
No, no, no.
Friendship.
Like, literally friendship.
They call you when they got a problem.
They call you for advice.
They call you when they got a problem.
They call you for advice.
So when you break up and the chick is now distraught or she's emotional,
your friendship now kicks in and you are supposed to be the consoling factor. Yo, you are sick, nigga.
You are sick in the head.
Do you hear yourself?
And you trying to spit this shit like it's normal.
It is not.
Dog, Ice, you agree with me or you disagree?
You right, yo.
Corey, you disagree? right yo Corey you disagree
I'm telling you
you're not telling me
you're not telling me nothing
we have two totally different styles of side
duding
and I'm not saying you wrong cause that
is a specific style of side duding
but on the other side of that
fence the professional
side dude for me is that because
your relationship is your relationship what you do with that person what goes on over there you do
not bring it over here and it is my job my duty to you to not involve myself in any of it now if
you come over here and you just having a bad day or you are going through something
i'm certain that there is a way to console you that is not from the ilk of speaking about your
relationship advising you uh saying anything about the other person that ain't side dude
yeah that's totally nobody's talking about your i said you ain't gotta kick
dirt on the nigga especially that's goof i'm talking about when she breaks up with the dude
and she is emotionally i'm over here for the vibes this is dick private restaurants bowling
movies like we are a vibe that's what side time is yeah don't come over here with all that baggage
from your fucking toxic ass relationship.
I'm not here to cater to feelings.
To create that vibe, you do what?
You talk.
A multitude of things.
You talk.
And the talking leads to emotional connection.
No.
Okay.
No.
You got to be a robot to turn that off.
And that's where we just differ.
We just differ.
I call that an unprofessional side dude.
That is an unprofessional side dude.
If you sitting there playing the emotion game with your side, that's not your girl.
It's not playing the emotion game.
That is not your girlfriend, yo.
It's my friend.
Sometimes as a side dude, you do become a little bit of a therapist.
Of course you do.
Stop.
Of course you do.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Then you side dude and wrong. Oh, baby, I don't claim to be no't Stop Stop Stop Then you side dude and wrong
Oh baby I'm not
I don't claim to be no professional side dude
Then you side dude and wrong
Cause you go ahead and play around
As a professional side dude
It's not your job to try to make that girl
Or incentivize her to leave her relationship
You're not doing that
I want you to stay
What the
Stay
No you don't
Yes I do
You're not doing that
I'm talking for that nigga
No you do not Yo dawg forgive You don't. Yes, I do. You're not doing that. I'm talking for that nigga. No, you do that.
Yo, dog, forgive me.
You don't want her to stay.
You're changing the story.
The girl has already broken up with the dude, and she is distraught.
I'm not making her break up with the dude.
She's broken up with the dude.
Well, to your knowledge.
She was cheating.
So?
Yeah, call Roscoe, man.
Mr. Robinson.
Mr. Robinson.
Roscoe, yo. Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson. Roscoe, yo.
Mr. Robinson?
Cuckoo, ca-choo.
Mr. Robinson.
Oh, man.
Jesus loves you more than you can know.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
Hello?
Mr. Robinson.
Hey, hey.
This is the Joe Budden Podcast.
Yo.
We just read your question, and now we're fighting about it here.
Can you give us a little more detail as to what's going on?
All right.
All right, man.
I'm just outside.
Are you drowning?
No, no, I'm not.
Are you in a well?
The service is bad.
We can't hear you, and this is a professional broadcast,
so I will give you a few seconds to get it together.
Hello?
Hey, Oak.
All right.
Yeah, no, I have my AirPods in.
Much better.
What's happening?
So there's a girl that I've been messing around with for a few years now.
She recently just broke up with her dude.
So right now she's going through it, but expecting me to kind of go through it with her.
Your stance
is what?
It's not really
for me to care because
if we were messing around,
I kind of see it as well. Alright, there you go.
Good riddance.
See?
There we go. We differ there.
Because me, as the side dude,
I don't want him to be good riddance.
I want him to stay right where he is.
Because I want to play Robin.
He can be Batman.
I want to be Robin.
I think, for me, your ideology is conflict.
Because if you want the dude to stay there, then all of the caring about all the emotions,
talking on the phone, being there when she get off of work, the good morning, all of that shit,
you're doing a lot.
That ain't side dude time for me, but you one of them
cupcake-y niggas.
Well, we all at the bakery but you.
We all at the bakery but you.
Not as a side dude.
No, stop, stop, wait, don't do that. Don't pay me away.
Stop, I love the
bakery. I own the fuck
nobody cupcakes like Joe Barrett,
except for you.
But I'm talking about
when it comes to side dude time.
No.
I'm a bagel.
You can call me what you want to call me, Joe.
No, that's not the bakery.
A chocolate eclair.
Then what's reserved?
Then what is reserved for your relationship?
When you are a side dude,
you are friends.
You don't necessarily got to be in love with your girl
even that's only even that's only a specific form of side dude even that side dude privilege all
side dudes are not her friend sometimes that's true no that's true you're right i'm agreeing
with that i just think stylistically this is how you go about it okay all right but i totally i'm i'm with you you're mr robinson i'm with him so mr
robinson hold on mr robinson you have been in a relationship with this lady you said for a couple
of years how many years he said i think he said three yeah three years right we were we were
best friends for about three to four years. Three to four years. You have zero emotional attachment to this person.
No, no, I obviously do.
Cool.
Cool, cool, cool.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
She forced me to consult with her while her dude broke up with her.
I'm looking at it as, hey, if you were treating him like trash by fucking around behind his back,
what's the point of us being here trying to cry together?
I'm with him.
Clearly, she wasn't even managing
the side dude shit right.
I don't know why they broke up,
but if this went on for a few years
and now dude is out of here,
come on, man.
Come on, man.
What does...
To let you know,
even her dude was kind of barely taking care of her.
I was more looking out for her, in a sense.
So it had me wondering, like, why would I care?
Like, she wants me to, she's telling me that, oh, I have no soul because she's feeling down and I'm not.
I'm like, well, that's your nigga.
Yeah.
What for that to do?
It's not the side dude job to have a soul.
Because me not having a soul the last three years did you a lot of justice.
Because if I had one and I really had feelings, I could have been doing a whole lot more.
I've been playing my position.
Now your cards have rearranged.
Don't come bring that shit over here.
Hell no.
Hell no.
I'm with you, Mr. Robinson.
Thanks.
Well, I'm not.
You got to be ready to play the game because you might lose her. I'm with you, Mr. Robinson. Thanks. Well, I'm not.
Now, you got to be ready to play the game because you might lose her,
and you sound like you like her.
I always had mad bitches.
No, no, to be honest, I kind of like the side duo. Like I could afford to let the little joker go.
No, no, no.
I like the side duo because it's not too much.
Like I'm on my way to Montreal right now to go play around
with a few things, you know?
Hey, Mr. Robinson.
Cuckoo, ca-choo.
Mr. Robinson.
You pay to play?
Say that again?
Do you pay to play?
He going to Montreal, of course.
With her? With anybody. Yeah, course he does yeah with her with her
with anybody yeah yeah with her no no with anybody i would no i don't i don't mind taking out a woman
to eat or anything if you mean by that no no no no no no no no he said he wants to know if you buy
pizza in the other way um traveling wise sometimes sometimes no this particular lady you said you
were looking out for her more than her last dude.
So when you said looking out, were you paying some bills?
We built a relationship.
We built a particular relationship.
And that's why she's mad at you because you guys have built up a certain level of friendship.
So as a friend, when you see your friend in need or you see...
Oh, shit. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That was a mistake. My bad. So as a friend, when you see your friend in need or you see your friend now suffering or struggling, they're going through whatever they're going through, the friendship piece should now step in and console her.
Regardless of what caused the grief, as a friend, you should want to be there for your friend.
I think that may be her stance.
Yes, I agree with the friendship part, but I don't agree about me. As a friend, you should want to be there for your friend. I think that may be her stance. Yes.
I agree with the friendship part, but I don't agree about me having to care about you going through with your man while we're messing around behind his back at the end of the day.
So why should I have a feeling about now you guys broke up?
Yeah, he got to protect himself.
They haven't been talking for a while, for a couple months.
They literally separated from homes.
She gave him one kid.
She kept the other.
So they were on the cuffs of like
kind of separated.
She had her own place. He had his own place.
He'll drop off one kid. She'll give
him the other.
I mean, that's my stance so to her to me what she
was telling me he's out of the door true so be that cool but again that'll still don't mean that
she don't have some emotional ties to the situation and if she just feeling down about the situation
my opinion is as a friend regardless of why your friend is sad, you're supposed to console them.
That's my opinion.
Your opinion is different.
Y'all built that relationship.
You still have a relationship.
But not if it conflicts.
This sounds like there's different side chick relationships.
You know what I mean?
Can I say one thing?
Go ahead.
Can I say one thing?
I've literally been there for her for everything.
I mean, this person has, I don't want to put the business out there like that but this person has literally probably ah it's too deep because like abuse don't do it don't do it
no no listen mr robinson but listen to that though no but let me try to speak for you because i've
been in this exact spot before what i'm getting from what you're saying is i have showed up for three years for you yeah liking you like wanting to be close to you
and kind of wanting that to falter a little bit yes none of that occurred now y'all broke up
organically and though you need me to be there as a friend for you and I am your friend, I have to show up for me first.
It sounds like he got too much going on with him to show up as a friend now in this moment for her while she's going through that.
Side dude rules are still in effect for him because he's protected there.
He's insulated there.
You hear him?
Do you really like her or no?
Be honest.
Do you really like her or no?
No, no.
I really do.
In the beginning, I really liked her, but then she kind of kept letting it be known
this is just us.
We're just doing this role.
He protected us.
After a while, I grew to accept the role and digged it because I was like, you know what?
The less the responsibility, I don't have to deal with too much.
That changes things.
That changes things. That changes things. That changes things. That changes things. Now, that changes some things. Y'all know how nigg less the responsibility, I don't have to deal with too much. Now, that alters things. That changes things.
That changes things.
That changes things.
That changes things.
Now, that changes some things.
Y'all know how niggas be feeling, yo.
No, that changes things.
Now, you're using me.
Yeah.
Or misusing me.
It sounds like you want to.
No, we're using each other, but now you're misusing me.
Yeah, I didn't agree to show up to be used this way.
Yeah.
You're changing the rules on the contract.
Now, I'm agreeing with you.
You know what sucks? Because that's why I hate used this way. You changing the rules on the contract. Now I'm agreeing with you. You know what sucks?
Because that's why I hate watching the show.
Because you guys really alter my mind sometimes.
I'm like, I have to rethink how I go about things,
even in the relationship.
I'm like, hold on.
Because you guys are kind of saying the things
that my mind is thinking sometimes, you know?
Yo, Mr. Robinson, yo.
Yo, just stand firm in your divinity.
No, when she get that tickle and she do that little thing. Stand firm in your divinity. No, when she get that tickle and she do that little thing in your divinity.
Yo, when she do that little thing out there in Montreal, Montreal is a blast.
I'm going out there for a week. Oh, come on. Hey, go shake your ass.
Go shake a tail feather out there, Mr. Robinson. I hope we were able to help you.
Yeah, I love you guys. We love you, too, Mr. Robinson. I hope we were able to help you. Yeah, I love you guys. We love you too, Mr. Robinson.
Peace.
Peace.
Alright.
We've been a little long-winded.
I've been rather harsh on this young lady
because she's been trying to go viral with things.
And I just feel like she's so talented.
She smacks every song, though.
So, I mean, you got to give credit where it's due.

No fireton, no metal box, I'm comin' with the stamp on me
Leavin' Hammond with what's-his-name, sleepin', spillin' ac on me
Solo, I feel gangsta reason, presence in the back of me
Al-Waleed, that spirit got the godmother back in me
Nigga murdered my Z, I was gone, that shit had damaged me
Bodega Bams, I tell you in New York that I got handling
Big Jigga tell you if I love you, anything you ask of me
Red winner, brave heart, ain't trippin' bout no brave team
Stalkin', tryna choke, somethin' ain't stickin' like no Beijing
Curlboy and Trey, you know these niggas all chatin'
Want me to slurp or melt my butter up in hot potato bait
Mediocre killer, listen
You hop in the streets, you know a lot gon' change
When you a gay, this is in your DNA
So you are not gon' change
Protect your sister, know what you believe
You gotta die this way
Once you go to jail, expect your bitch to play a lot of games
Even your clique, respect the way you built
A lot are not the same
Never act, always mind the business
That's a part of the way You a good friend, remember you not friendly a lot are not the same Never rag, always mind the business, that's a part of the way
You a good friend, remember, you not friendly, you don't ride the wave
Respect yourself and everything around you, we not trying to play
He who try, ain't no doubt about it, diving in his face
No surrender, no retreat, reply, bitch, you won't die today
Represent your tribe with your actions and your body language
Upright independent feelings, moving with all types of angels
9,000 miles due east with a holy conversation
Muslim makes a lot, that's all we got you, take your time with prayer
Upright independent feelings, praises go to my creator
Upright independent feelings, we having a lot of people
Upright independent feelings, even if my body's stinking
What up?
I'm not mad at that
Nah
That was hard
That's the intro That was hard. That's the intro. That was hard.
Yeah.
Again, man.
Every now and then you just come across one of them albums.
For me anyway, that is it.
And I love this project.
I got to listen to it.
A lot of people seem to.
Yeah.

what you got
Glitz Parks
I'm playing Daniel
Son Future Wave
this is
Field Trips
Future Long Streets And fuck how they feel about it These niggas all washed up, flabby, sick and sour Your mixtapes ain't sellin', rips still touchin'
You drop 200 songs a year and still nothin'
I'm still shittin' on everything that you do, disgustin'
Givin' no fucks, my duckets up, do the hustlin'
Wise guys derive from plays on the dark street
Hand to hand, all-star, got cream out the concrete
None of you cornballs could ever compete
Narcotic stash, club ads, we sped in a Jeep Takin' trips for the bags, none of you corn balls could ever compete Narcotic stash, clever as we sped in a jeep
Taking trips for the bags, deep in the land
Where a snake could be a man and it's real easy to get a toe tap
Hard to slow down, I'm accustomed to making dough fast
Ounce, quarter, half, a whole slab
Seen six biggers off the shit I cook up in the lab
Took a path, others ain't fit to follow
You either eat or starve, sit in sorrow
Now I promise to get tomorrow
So today I need all of my shit
Before I click it on you
Cause I'm on my shit for real
Field trips in the field, groundless
Rip and stare, hit a lick in the hole
Then we crank the bell, count so much
Breath
Shit is a real But I'm on my shit for real Field trips in the field, groundless My bad. That's beat thunks, the property, that's beachfront Shorty with the C-cops, her legs stick like tree trunks
Drop the hundred and the wishing well, she pray for free bumps
The doc clean, the lot stealer, out the car dealer
Piece of my pallbearer's mess, banish shot, biller
Burn your chest like a shot of tequila
No hospitals round here, just a bush doctor, shock reheller
Too much bass in your voice, speak in flat tones
Buckets quaking, resi out, they pipe cooking black stones
Send they checks into the cash gun
My girl hit the bathroom, she said she miss me, want me back on
Northside, empty stomachs, bunch of cold meals
My baby, she opened up a can of smoke, damn
Made it happen for myself, that's how the hope feels
Out here making dope deals, I don't need a dope deal
Cause I'm on my shit for real
Field trips in the field
Daniel Sun, Future Wave, and Rome Streets
Ish, what you got for us?
Young lady's name is Ombre

Shit is fire.
It's quick listen. 19 minutes.
The song is only a minute and a half long.
In and out like a robbery. Shout out to Ombre. Let's go. Love, I mean, my people think I'm rich now
Murdered my ego, made my anxiety sit down
Now I got time to kill
I'm back to back with the three classics in a row
You remind me of a home flame
I remind you of a G, I'm from uptown, baby
Take the whole thing
Now you fucking with a G, I'm from uptown, baby
I like the hype that keep me going
It's all I know, it's all I know
Nothing else feels like home
It's all I know, it's all I know, oh
Her ass shit, that's what we like
That's how we live some nights
They want a three-peat
Her ass shit, that's what we like
Dickie Fizz and G-Nice
