Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. The girl that wants to get with me. I can tell how she looks at me. And listen. Actually. Who's more prideful, men or women? I don't know. Prideful?
Starting point is 00:04:35 That's a draw. I don't even think it's close. Prideful? Yeah, I don't think it's close. That's me. We taught to be. They not. So if they emotional It's fine
Starting point is 00:04:45 When we emotional We look like But they be emotional And prideful in their emotion I'm still rolling with men Men yo Men don't even show Their emotions period
Starting point is 00:04:56 Nigga be home crying Curled up like a baby With a big dick You won't know that Nah Fair nah Nah Men don't know that. Nah. That's vicious. Fair, nah. Nah.

Starting point is 00:05:41 but a different type of way. Very few men show it, though. Nah, it's a different type of way. Nah, nah. Yeah, that's allas don't show it. No, they do, but a different type of way. Very few men show it, though. Nah, nah, nah. Yeah, that's all it is. Nah, I'm not rolling. Okay. No, maybe amongst your D-Boy group, friend group, maybe all of the anomalies, but these niggas out here are Emotion, Carl Thomas, and it seeps out.
Starting point is 00:06:04 That shit seep out. That shit seep out. It'll seep out. These niggas be thinking they saying some machismo, tough masculine shit. And that shit just sound like fucking depression and toxic household upbringing shit. To somebody that identifies with that. You get what I'm saying? Like, yo, nigga being rah, rah, rah, rah, rah. You can see like, yo, my nigga, you hurting.
Starting point is 00:06:24 But he not showing you the hurt, though. I look at most of these niggas and see hurt, yo. But they not showing it, though. That's what I'm saying. I say that they are. I say that they are. I say that they are. That they're showing it?
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yes. I disagree. All these niggas wake up and show that hurt every single day, yo. They trying their hardest to mask it. Yeah, they trying their hardest. It takes somebody that can spot it. Sometimes on Halloween, the good masks sell out fast. And you got to just take what's there.
Starting point is 00:06:46 All you niggas ain't the best of maskers. This is what I'm saying. The pride in the man even has him mask the hurt. Women be proud as hell too though. You get what I'm saying? The pride in the man even has him attempting to mask it.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Wait now, that's even a new question. You think men mask more than women? Hurt Yes We're taught to mask all feelings Bro If you got two twins Look you you right Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:13 If you got two twins And you got two boys I mean a boy and a girl They twins right How you rear your kids Is gonna be different Based on that gender. When that little boy falls, you will never hear nobody,
Starting point is 00:07:29 when the little girl fall on scraper knee, say, take it like a woman. You pick your son up, boy, take it like a man. Dust it off, boy. Stop being a man. Stop crying. We hear that message from toddler to adulthood. Then we play sports in life. When you play sports in life when you play sports in life you better not show no hurt you come across the middle you get whacked by the safety you better
Starting point is 00:07:51 get up you never you crazy niggas break that ankle you be like you tough it out well that's a specific that's one way to example that's one way to look at things. But on the flip side of that, there are things that are specific to women and how they're raised and brought up. Look at all the internet conversations about women talking about, I need a dude that does this and this and this. Or this dude can't be broke. This dude, da, da, da, da, da. That's all pride. Can a man do that? They do.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You can? They do. What are the odds of that happening They do. You can? They do. What are the odds of that happening? What is his sign? Like, how desirable is he? Yo, dog, men be 50, 60, 70 years old and has never, when something happens to them, they cry in their office. They go lock the bathroom door and cry because they've been taught not to cry. Can I show that to you, bro?
Starting point is 00:08:42 It is a sign of, quote, unquote, vulnerability and weakness, and we've been taught to mask that. From knee high, you've been taught not to cry it is a sign of quote unquote vulnerability and weakness and we've been taught to mask that from knee high you've been taught whether consciously or subconsciously take it like a man yo you're a big boy you better not cry man up all of those phrases come from somewhere you never hear him say woman up. Our women were being raped. Our history, if we're talking about what women have had to mask, if we're getting into it, pregnant women were thrown off the ships first because they were heavier. Like, if we're talking about what women have to mask, like, what are you talking? I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Yes, you're right in everything you're saying. In society, men are taught to be the stern, strong. I think women are stronger than we are. No dispute there. What I'm saying is in the public light and for the public, men have to appear stronger. So you mask more shit. I couldn't be more on the opposite side of this cool not even on not even on some asking shit not even on some pander shit i think men i think women mask shit out of necessity women are running around here harboring men's most evil secrets true
Starting point is 00:10:00 indeed women yo they're taking their reproductive rights right now like huh no the things that they've had to mask i don't you know how many women i speak to or have spoken to that at some point have divulged like confidential information about molestation all of that shit there's way more numbers than we would ever think. Yo, even the little clip that was going viral, what, nine years ago
Starting point is 00:10:29 or some shit of what women were going through on the catcall. Yeah, we laughed at it, a lot of us, at that time. Just because it was a different time.
Starting point is 00:10:37 But think about that. But we talking about pride, yo. Well, we started with pride. Yeah, now we're talking about showing emotion. Yeah, emotional. Like, yo like yo dog men have to be prideful it's ignorant this is the way i say women are prideful right to make a joke whenever and i had just had this conversation with somebody like men how men show that ego pride shit is you'll try to fuck dude's girl or you'll try to fuck dude's competition X or girl that he's shooting at or it get messy there for some of you niggas. I know that exists.
Starting point is 00:11:17 But even in that, you niggas don't be prideful enough to have that like direct talk a lot of times with dude that you're doing that with. That's pride. Stop. I check women on this side. Women for years will talk on Instagram to a girl that they don't even know. Which means they never met him. Yeah. Men are too proud to do that you never hear y'all come talk to him as a man they have a phrase i'm coming to you as a woman which means
Starting point is 00:11:54 i've put my pride to the side i think it's but i think it takes more pride to do that i don't think it's taking more pride to cower and not say a word. I think it take more pride to say, yo, this is what it is with me. Nah, your emotions are on your sleeve when you come talk
Starting point is 00:12:10 to her as a woman. Your emotions are on your sleeve. That's vulnerable. No dude is coming. Think about that. And, nigga,
Starting point is 00:12:17 we have classic music interludes of dudes going to dudes as a dude. We don't have classic in-person. Dudes have gone to you as a dude. We don't have classic in-person. Dudes have gone to you as a dude.
Starting point is 00:12:27 A few times. Watch your fucking mouth in here. I don't think so. I'd have to think with it. I don't know. He ain't come to. A dude has come to you as a dude. I got one for you, too.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I knew you niggas for a little while. No, this is what I'm saying. And a dude has come to me as a dude. It's rare. A dude has definitely come to me as a dude. It's rare. It's not as prevalent I mean that when you
Starting point is 00:12:46 To me it's just I mean I mean for some To me it's just different The air up there Everybody can't It's different It breathes different
Starting point is 00:12:54 It does a little different Think about this Niggas don't just It's new It's new This is new Like I say in the last 10 years or so

You'll just tell your man like, yo, I love you, dog. That's something that we are all working on. Yo, I love you, dog. I love you, nigga.
Starting point is 00:13:11 That's new shit. That's not old man shit. I was making my coffee this morning. I don't know why I was in a good mood. I was making my coffee and I stopped getting my little creamer. I said, I'm fucking proud of myself. I said, holy shit, shit wait i ain't never even
Starting point is 00:13:26 when's the last time you just stopped and yo you doing your thing i ain't i i've been too busy and just preoccupied with the world's distractions to even hear my own voice say yo you kicking ass you do it you should feel good yeah and man that's something new for men to be tough you make a point there dog you make a point there that's just like how we get on you about the joke when we say yo men can't take a compliment like yeah yeah you can't even compliment a man you're correct without it becoming weird see that's where i think women are tougher again they compliment you and it really be a diss but no but some of them but no some of them compliment you and it be sincere women will see other women walking on the street like, sweetie, you killing them shoes.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Sweetie, I'm feeling your hair. Sweetie, they don't even know you. Most dudes don't ever, I do it. I be like, yo, that coat tough, my nigga. Most men don't do that. You right. If I see a nigga wearing some fly shit, I be like, yo, that shit fly.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I see a nigga car. I watch Ice-T say this years ago. See, this shit you talking about sound like Pride Kinderg kindergarten for me. Women are going to lay on the table of the same doctor that done killed a bitch or two to look better. I think they're winning the pride battle. It's just different ways of showing it. Yeah, women get...
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'm lost. Men ain't... Y'all not about it like that. You lost me. What you mean? I'm lost. Yeah, you fucked... Men ain't... Y'all not about it like that. You lost me. What you mean? I'm lost. Yeah, you fucked me up. They're laying on the table.

Starting point is 00:14:59 Fuck that nigga. I'm like, yo, dog. You on your A game. Most men won't do that. They ain't never said, fuck that nigga. Tell the truth. You definitely said it. A nigga that I don't personally care for, not a stranger.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Never. Never. Alex. Yeah, come on. Bro, I don't do that. Don't miss the semantics. No, a nigga I don't like is fuck that nigga. I don't care how fresh he look.
Starting point is 00:15:21 This all started with a case record. No, I don't care. But a nigga that I don't know, why would I say fuck that nigga to a nigga I don't know? I don't do that. Why do men do it? What do you mean? Dudes might do it.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Dudes do it. Of course. What I'm saying is females will see a woman that they don't know and be like, Ma, you killing him. You shitting on him. For me, I need Melissa Ford here to discuss this. Look, your followers.
Starting point is 00:15:45 How many followers you got? Where? On Instagram. 1.7 for the last nine years. And that proves my point. For the last nine years. And that proves my point. Men be so prideful, they won't follow you.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Let a cute girl be dope. Most of her followers be other women. And be big in her ups. And be big and her ups don't know her never met her don't know nothing about her boo you killing them bitch you working that blah blah blah they do that we don't do that you could be a dope ass nigga yo i am and is and you'll stay at a certain number because other niggas will be like man fuck that nigga man nigga corny man fuck that nigga man i don't give a fuck how dope that... Men be on some stupid shit.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Men are more prideful. Men be having... Men are the bigger haters? Yeah, big ignorance. Ignorant haters. I think it's just different ways. That's why niggas try to fuck your chick.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Maybe we're both frightened. Niggas that try to fuck your chick... Both sides can be true. On spite. Everyone's prideful. Dudes that try to fuck your chick out of spite. Not because she the baddest. It be, yo, always winning i could hold this over his head i could hold this
Starting point is 00:16:50 over his head i gotta one up have people ever felt that way about me oh no you disagree i don't disagree with that part oh yeah that's correct yeah we've been out here. That is definitely correct. Yeah, like, dog, I just think that men, they are more prideful. I'll never get the win in that. See, that's why I always just hung out with the women. Some of the men laws, I just refute some of them. Joe, you're a crier. I don't understand some of them. You're a crier.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Love a good one. Do you know how rare that is to be a crier and to openly admit, yo, I was watching such and such and just burst out into tears. You know how many niggas won't say that? And they still somehow call me a sociopath. Do you know how many people won't say that?
Starting point is 00:17:38 I've been the victim of all y'all little buzzwords. Because I just be there at the forefront of the precipice of the invention y'all get in the dictionary and I'd be like, oh, you're that! Oh, brother. Fuck! I get hit first again. Right?

Starting point is 00:26:39 breathing through it you can hear it I like what he said, though. He was absolutely right. Well, what did he say? Talking about how Puff broke down so many, just all the barriers. He was like,
Starting point is 00:26:55 you know, we gotta really, really, really hold him up for everything that he's done. He's done. He did a lot. Even a speech that, oh boy, even a speech that Jay said And he was like Yo

Starting point is 00:28:08 That's true. That's true. I own this. That's true. I own it. I can do business. And not just that, nigga did it
Starting point is 00:28:13 and said some shit in admiration. You know what I mean? No, he threw in some spice in there too. He was hot. I didn't know. It was some spice
Starting point is 00:28:20 I didn't know about. Well, you gotta figure they're from the same town too, so. As he'd let it be known. Yeah. He'd let it be known. Yeah. He'd let it be known. Who, Pete Rock? Pete, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Pete was hot. But, you know. I guess. Okay. If someone took one of your names and said it, you'd probably feel some type of way. But it's Puff, man. Puff was up. He was having a good time that night.
Starting point is 00:28:39 He was. Grooving. If Puff popped up and said, I'm Joe Bud, and I would call him. I mean, since you're asking me to put myself in. I wouldn't say Joe Budden. He'd say, yo, shout to my man Bobby Brown, the original Jump Off. I'm not going to call anyone about that.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I'm just saying. But that was one of your nicknames. The whole industry did it as soon as I did it. I still ain't get credit. Oh, man. Add that to the list. I still ain't getting credit. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Add that to the list. I thought it was a pretty fun night, though. I thought it was a dope night. Yeah. Overall, I thought it was a dope night. I mean, it could be improved upon a little bit, but I thought it was dope. And Puff is Puff. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:29:23 Like, for a Black Excellence Award, Puff is Puff. I'm surprised. You know what I'm saying? Like, for a black excellence award, Puff is Puff. I'm surprised it took him this long to get it. Music isn't where it is black society. This is going to sound crazy, but Puff put an imprint on black society. No question. That's what I mean. That's kind of what Ye was saying. It ain't just music.
Starting point is 00:29:42 It's everything. Life. Yo, chill. Yo, y'all know Kirk Franklin is gang, right? Let me shut up. Please shut up before you come put hands
Starting point is 00:29:54 and feet on me. You looking like he's still off on somebody. That's a stern talking to right there. Dog. He won't let his hand go. Yeah, yeah. I heard the shit you said.
Starting point is 00:30:03 We talking about Kirk Franklin's exchange with Zeus CEO Lemuel Plummer. Hopefully I'm pronouncing his name correctly, Lemuel. But I've seen this before in person. Zeus is the network that you like, right? Yeah, yeah. They got $60 from me. They got $60 from me. They got $60 from me. That's what Kirk was bad about?
Starting point is 00:30:26 They did. I can always tune into Zeus for some hot mess. All the shit that I be doing. Everything over there. It's messy? You know what it's like? Remember when Netflix put that movie out where you could choose your way through the whole movie? Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:30:46 That's what Zeus is like for me like if i think something in my head should happen but no way it would happen it's going it happens like you manifest that shit they sick over there but anyway so what's the story behind this we know who knows who's got a cat but kirk franklin's son is on one of them zoo shows. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. That's the story. Okay. Got you. And that's all I know about this. Is his son named Gutter K?
Starting point is 00:31:12 I don't know. No, because they said somebody named Gutter K says it was over him. I don't know who Gutter K is. I don't know, but I can read body language. I know that Kirk Franklin is in amazing shape. That's what I'll say. Word. Look at him. That's what I'll say. Word. Look at him.
Starting point is 00:31:27 That's a fly ass little shirt too. Little silk. Y'all would tear me up if I wore that shirt. Yes. Yeah. Oh yeah. And I would be the chairman of the team. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Wow. I would be like. You would be the first to rip it. Oh, what? Don't come here with that on. You know what though, y'all? The medium said that energy was around me. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Oh, God. Yo, you know what though, yo? The medium said that energy was around me. Oh, man. God. Yo, you know what the difference is, though? That nigga got some triceps and some, you know what I mean? Nigga chest poked out. Might fit you a little different. He's body shaming you. I'm not. Hey, I still get in at least 15 sets of air jabs a day.

Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah, fix your glasses up. Yeah. See, them glasses can fly now. No, no, no, not just that. You can tell Lemuel. Lemuel keep putting his hand in his pocket. You ain't supposed to put your hand in your pocket when the other nigga holding your one hand
Starting point is 00:32:30 and got his other hand on your shoulder. That shoulder hand turned into a left hook real quick. Lemuel ain't never been off the porch, man. Nigga talking to you like that, you gotta have your feet right. That shit could go down at any moment right there. He's holding his shoulder. Holding your other hand. Your other hand. And not letting you move any moment Right there Your other hand
Starting point is 00:32:46 And not letting you move And you got your other hand In your pocket That's the thing about This business yo Like You just be going somewhere And now you beefing
Starting point is 00:32:54 With Kirk Franklin Like you was just Dressed for the award And if there's one person That probably know How to fight better In the shoes It's probably Kirk
Starting point is 00:33:04 It's Kirk It's probably Kirk It's Kirk Kirk. It's probably Kirk. It's Kirk. Yeah. And you can look at Kirk and see he done straightened a few. Oh, yeah. He done got the Holy Ghost up out of a few of y'all. Kirk couldn't wait to see him.
Starting point is 00:33:13 No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's him right there. Oh, no, no, no, no. Right back. Right back. Definitely. They talking about something. Why ain't there no security at Kirk Church?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Well, it is. Kirk's security. They know better. No, I'm talking shit. This is funny. No, this is funny, though. Yo, who was recording this shit? There was a whole...
Starting point is 00:33:30 I'll tell you the first thing I noticed. Boy, they had a whole lot of ads. Yo, that was the one knock that I guess I would have. Like, every award had its own ad. It was a commercial every two seconds. Fam. It was a commercial. But, I mean, they're getting the bread
Starting point is 00:33:45 so I respect it. I mean, this is where it gets tricky. It does get tricky. This is where it gets tricky. Because yes, we don't see him on the Grammys
Starting point is 00:34:00 and the Oscar. Yeah. I'm with you. What? Well, that is the politics of award shows. Some the Oscar. Yeah. I'm with you. What? Well, that is the politics of award shows, some of it. Yeah. So we know that even the Grammy, they all have partners. They all have partners.
Starting point is 00:34:18 It's happening in different ways on the bigger. This was a lot. It was pretty. It was more than I've ever seen at an award show. I will say that. This was a lot. It was pretty... They sold each award. It was more than I've ever seen at an award show. I will say that. It was a lot.
Starting point is 00:34:29 They literally sold each award. They had like the Dove Best Album of the Year award or something like that. It was this one? No, it fucked me up. I'm sitting, I'm watching with my mom.
Starting point is 00:34:38 It fucked me up. They came from a commercial break. They came from the commercial break into now Taraji got to tell me about this cream or whatever that now Brandy Elbow is asking you to take some of this. I thought that was hers, though. It don't even matter. I don't care whose it is.
Starting point is 00:34:57 You're right, you're right. It could be hers. This slot is for sale. Off the commercial? Hey, fam. I slot is for sale. Off the commercial? I'm not knocking it. I'm not. Don't. Don't misconstrue me.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I'm not knocking it. I'm just saying it's one of the things that was blaring off the screen. They had Mariah Carey and Kanye at the awards. At cost. We selling everything. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Look. That's a fact. Good point. We need to make this. Bruno Mars was there. We need to make this. Every slot for sale. That's a good point. If you want the big stars to show unfortunately, that might be part of the,
Starting point is 00:35:45 if you want the big stars to show up, you want the fucking big show, Dove might have to sponsor an award or two. And I don't know if the sponsors are paying as much for the slots as the other bigger award shows, so you might have to sell more. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah, probably. Hmm. Makes sense. in that version the the ad money is paying for some of the that's what that's what artist appearances that's what isis saying and you selling the ads based on yo such and such gonna be here such and such gonna be here yeah yeah they performing too good i mean i can't say that i wouldn't run it like that if I were at the helm of a large production that way. If somebody called you and said, yo, we got four tickets for the backslide of the second hour. For the Best New Artist Awards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Well, I don't know if you would because you are here and we don't do that where most other people do. So. Yeah, but at that level, you would think the you would think the disparity is not so great between what you're doing and the true value of it at this level. what you're doing and the true value of it at this level know what y'all offering for what y'all are doing and what y'all are getting i'm better off just never seeing what i would see knowing that you won't see it either i'm fine with that gotcha i'm fine with not ruining the audio experience and just being an ad whore to slut this out but unique situation there's other ways for me to do business that i can't say exists for every podcaster so i i with respect to that at this level like your partners are sprite your partners are samsung your partners are whoever there was a lot of them but then i get
Starting point is 00:37:42 there was a lot of them on how they view lot of them. on how they view the BET Awards as opposed to how they view the Grammys or how they view the Oscars. So if you're Sprite or if you're Samsung, you might be willing to give the Oscars
Starting point is 00:37:55 because you think it may generate more onlookers $20 million for a spot. But you might only be willing to give the BET Awards $2 million per spot. I mean, we've had
Starting point is 00:38:05 so now we gotta get those numbers back you gotta sell more ads. You know what I'm saying? We've had instances I didn't see anybody complain about it either. At the big awards
Starting point is 00:38:14 we've had that. The time that Ellen took that picture with all of them in there that was a Samsung or I believe it was Samsung that was an ad. We've had them times
Starting point is 00:38:22 at the major major major awards where these companies integrate they shit in major major major awards just be a little more low-key integrate they shit in there just be a little more low-key yeah that's all order and they spending more bread for that there you go they're spending more money for that probably both you get them so both you might have to to generate 50 million dollars you might gotta sell mad ads whereas for the emmys somebody might be willing to give you 50 million they came out two hours later and was like hey this is the most popular selfie ever taken.
Starting point is 00:38:47 I was like, y'all counted up all the selfies that fast, huh? Y'all moved fast. As soon as that shit dropped. To perpetuate some shit. I meant to come in here last week and tear y'all ass up about how fast y'all took our Juneteenth flights off the buildings. God damn it. I was watching. On the 20th, they was gone.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Hey, hey. On the 19th at 11 p.m. On the 19th. On the federal holiday, them shits was gone. It was only H&M up there talking about, hey. That's crazy. Not H&M, but the building over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Oh, man, that's hilarious. But go ahead. Award ceremonies. I don't like how they killed Givey O, man. I don't like it either. He just had a little stumble. He recovered. They were comparing him to they killed Giviola, man. I don't like it either. He just had a little stumble. He recovered. They were comparing him to the shit show we had last Thursday, and I don't think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:39:31 That's not fair at all, because I don't think that was him. No, I don't think so. I don't think that was him at all. Who was it? I think that what he was hearing was different than what was coming out in that microphone. That's a fact. Us too? I don't understand what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:39:44 So you're making a joke nah he flopped a little bit because monitor was fucked up and then he he bounced right back and was on on pitch I must have changed the channel
Starting point is 00:39:53 I ain't seen no bounce I'm not doing this with you I'm listening to you if you go if you go out on a stage and what you are hearing in your ear is different
Starting point is 00:40:03 from what you are actually doing or what's coming out out there. That shit fucks you up. It is an entire universe spinning right now. That shit fucks you up. That happened with you too. I've been on stages and what I'm doing, the monitors are not working. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So now what I'm doing, I have no idea how it sounds. It's mad instances where this happens. I'm with you. Because when you're on stage too. Somebody said it was the auto-tune thing. He had an auto-tune mic. His shit was just not coming through his ears clear.
Starting point is 00:40:32 That shit fucks you up, especially in the big... Any small stages, the sound echoes like crazy because of the space. So what you're hearing on stage be delayed anyway. So if it's not coming direct into your ear, you're fucked up. So let me ask you a question. your ear, you're fucked up.
Starting point is 00:40:46 So let me ask you a question. You guys are the authority on this. That affects his singing? Hell yeah. Yes. Hell yeah. 100%. If that shit is off, you're singing. It's clear he can't hear.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It's something he did. Keep fucking with it. You know the other thing that happens a lot, not saying it happened here at this large of a production, but you know what else happens a lot? An artist will go to soundcheck and do soundcheck with a specific crew doing soundcheck, and the mics are marked from this soundcheck. And by the time you get to that show,
Starting point is 00:41:20 that crew is nowhere to be seen. The mics are not. Now you just on the fly not because you skip sound check but it's just something different going on now now you got to go out there in real time and figure this out make it a part of your show yo turn me like whatever you got to do entertainers be getting thrushed in uh especially now well not now because it's been around for a while but when everything is wireless wifi
Starting point is 00:41:46 there can be like a lot of conflicts especially with something where there's a big press element you could tell something because he kept messing with it
Starting point is 00:41:54 but it sounded horrible I'm not gonna hold you when you do all wireless it leaves the room for a lot of fucking mistakes to happen alright I'm gonna take y'all word for it
Starting point is 00:42:02 and if you're monitoring right even in the studio, if it's on stage, but especially on stage, you will come off off key. And like I said,
Starting point is 00:42:09 I wouldn't give him no props if he didn't recover, but he recovered and started singing on key for the rest of the song. And I'm not going to hold you
Starting point is 00:42:17 once I finally was able to stop burning a hole in my Chris Brown project. That Givion project is really top tier. No, you said it was dope.
Starting point is 00:42:28 You said that last week. Yeah, but I didn't sit with it because I ran back to Chris. But that Gideon project, top to bottom, if you enjoy that, is my favorite album from him. Top to bottom. From Gideon?
Starting point is 00:42:43 Yes. He made an album. Okay. Part of one of the reasons I used to pick from him. Top to bottom. From Givian? Yes. He made an album. Okay. I gotta listen to it. Part of one of the reasons I used to pick on him. Not pick on him, but just be like,
Starting point is 00:42:50 come on with these big records. That's the same shit, nigga. Go give me something. You nice? Give it to me. He did. He did. He showed up.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Shout to him. What else? What else? What else? Anything more from the awards? Winners? Losers? Does it matter?
Starting point is 00:43:08 I don't know if it matters. Yeah, it really does. It don't matter. Salute to all the winners, though. It was wild seeing The Weeknd win that Best Male Pop R&B. Knowing he ain't going to be there fucking with y'all. I didn't expect that one. I didn't think he would win that one.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I didn't think he was going to win that one. I was on a good streak of calling all the winners until that one. Who you thought was going to win? I definitely didn't think he would win. I thought Lucky Dave was going to win. I thought Gibby Young was going to win? I definitely didn't think he was going to win. I thought Lucky Dave was going to win. I thought Gibby Young was going to win it. Yeah. He was there.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Because he performed. Yeah. That would have been the right thing to do. Go ahead and give it to him. He showed up. Sometimes you got to reward the people that show up. They typically do. And for the most part, I was very shocked to see that one.
Starting point is 00:43:39 For the most part, the people that perform at the award shows, they win. So excited to clean it up again, too, huh, boy? My mom was so blown away that I called that Tim's winner. I'm like, Mom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can kind of see what's going on. But how did you know? I will say, too, I do like that they had a lot of, like,
Starting point is 00:43:57 upcoming or international acts and stuff like that. They do that, though. Doing performance. Yeah, I know, but I like to highlight what happens, regardless of if it's expected or not. Because they don't have to. A lot of these people that they do that though doing performance yeah I know but I like to highlight when it happens regardless of if it's expected or not there's a cause they don't have to
Starting point is 00:44:08 a lot of these people do not do that they put I mean it's already a light on it but they definitely put a major light on like the Afrobeat sound
Starting point is 00:44:14 and all that they do England all that shit I would like to see the Grammys continue in that in that direction cause Tim's is overdue
Starting point is 00:44:21 like y'all late on this but it was great to see her get up there. Congratulations to her. Who else? Who else? Who else? Who else?
Starting point is 00:44:31 I don't think there's too many other surprises. Yeah, I wasn't kind of surprised about much. Silk Sonic, boy. They won everything. All of the awards this year. Yeah, this was their year. They them dudes. They them dudes. They them dudes.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Damn. That's four or five. No, they cleaned up. They cleaned up. All across the board. All the awards. They cleaned up. All the award shows, not just here.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah. They've been on the run. Which is kind of... When 24 Karat Magic dropped, Bruno did the same shit. Yeah. He cleaned up all the same shit. Yeah. He cleaned up all the way across. Yeah. Gotta salute it.
Starting point is 00:45:10 That was a bop. Man. Boy. Still listen to that album. You talking about an album that, without a skip, there's only what, nine records on there?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Eight records on there? Mm-hmm. I think nine. That was one. Mm-hmm. Music. Cardi one. Music. Cardi's coming back. Announced a single dropping Friday.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Featuring Kanye West and Dirk. Hot shit. Which I think. I mean, it's sounds like a cool idea. Not gonna be able to tell shit until I hear a beat at least
Starting point is 00:45:45 but I'm excited you think that she's gonna drop an album or singles more singles more singles more singles me? yeah
Starting point is 00:45:55 singles gotcha if an album comes out I'll be the first to admit I was wrong I don't think an album's coming I think she can single you out the park I think an album's coming I think an album's coming I think an album's coming. Think she can single you out the park. I think her album's coming.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I think her album's coming. I think her album's coming. I think everybody coming out the top. You had two years of COVID. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And life shit.
Starting point is 00:46:14 But I think they've been in the still. It's big dog time. Yeah. Like you had Drake. Beyonce about to bring us back for the women. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:23 I'm coming right off of some of that heat right behind it. Fuck around. Have a single with Beyonce on it. Well, I already got my, I already got my up and my, what's the other record?
Starting point is 00:46:36 Huh? WAP. WAP. Yeah. I already got those. So this is technically my third record. And Money, right?
Starting point is 00:46:42 It was a Money post the first album. We know that she has been recording. Well, I know that she's been recording it's been long enough um and you knew that she had to come at some point and she got she had a baby she got pregnant and all that so see my stance on that is and again and again, I would love to be wrong. But when I see people start doing a bunch of shit outside of music, like a lot of shit, I don't really see where they could lock back into the studio, put an album together. You know, because then when you drop an album, labels are going to want you to tour, all this type of shit. That's why I just don't,
Starting point is 00:47:25 she got so much going on that it's hard to see you now back in artist mode. I think she's big enough that she wouldn't have to tour if she didn't want to. True. I think so.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Because, definitely. Or select date. Yeah, select date. It's a little five shows this year. I'll pop up at the big festival here. Has she toured? Off the first album, she did some shows.
Starting point is 00:47:43 I don't know if she toured, but she toured, though. I don't remember, honestly.red toward though I don't remember honestly we're not the booking agent yeah that song looks
Starting point is 00:47:51 expensive yes I mean just the picture alone that song looks like that was an expensive shoot that song looks like
Starting point is 00:47:59 the teaser video the budgets the budgets were approved yeah the teaser video look at that that's expensive look at that. That's expensive. Look at that shit. That looks expensive too. They ain't playing. So that's my takeaway without
Starting point is 00:48:11 hearing any music. That's creative. An album's coming. That's speculative. Don't go getting me in trouble. Don't slam to me. Like I said, I'm a Cardi fan, so I would love to be wrong. I assume that an album is coming
Starting point is 00:48:25 I just don't see it and and with just looking at this the writing is on the wall for what this is already I think so this is out of here
Starting point is 00:48:34 I don't think you do all that you don't need to hear it it's gone it's gone it's out of here it's out of here yeah
Starting point is 00:48:39 it's out of here yeah the teaser video does imply a little bit of out of here-ness man she's standing on top of the world. That's dope. She let you know where she at with it.
Starting point is 00:48:50 That's dope. This is with who and who? Dirk and Ye. What are we talking about? Yo, what are we talking about? Yeah. Yo, stupid. I seen what she did with G-Eazy.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Hello? Nah that shit was a slap Fam don't No I get what he's saying I get what he's saying I get what he's saying That was a mega slap So with that being said I'm saying that too
Starting point is 00:49:17 Is what he's saying That's probably my favorite song of that summer Yeah it was up there And G-Eazy's a great guy But You know what I'm saying Yeah favorite song of that summer. Yeah, it was up there. And G-Eazy's a great guy. But, you know what I'm saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:31 That's a nice show. They don't go look for this car if this record ain't fire. Or them shoes. Or them shoes. Or that tan. Yes. All right, one high for me. Two highs for you.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I'm keeping a high of count. Sheesh. One high for you. One high for you. It's a high for you. I'm keeping a high count. Sheesh. One high for you. One high for you. It's a high for you. I'm definitely Cardi high. What, Cardi? Yeah, it's a high.
Starting point is 00:49:50 You Cardi high? I'm in there. Oh, so two highs for you. Two highs for you. I'll be right up there. What's my two highs? Two, two, one. Lizzo and Lotto.

Starting point is 00:50:34 It's the fan in me. What are you talking about? Y'all almost made me start calling up RCA, yo. As if I had nothing better to do with my time over the weekend. But I think I could have made a few calls over to RCA and got to the bottom of this. But I didn't.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I mind my, I minded my business. I just told Parks, this will be a cooking podcast soon. Interior design. Little cayenne pepper. I'm going to show y'all.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Somebody asked me about this. This is going to be a fishing a fishing pod. The Reddit. I'm going to show you something now. They was like yo y'all really going to get away from talking music altogether?
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yes. Because Joe keeps saying it. Yes. I was like well y'all won't let us. Yes. The second that they that these two get into that next bag, there will never be a rap review to be discussed here. You niggas ain't rappers.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Most of them. Y'all ain't rappers. Now, I got to be the one that, nah, y'all ain't going to get me again. I came in this industry thinking it was rap. It's not. I was dissing y'all because I wanted to rap. Y'all quickly learned me.
Starting point is 00:51:59 It ain't that. And that was then. Now it's even less rap. It's not rap. Ain't no rap. It's not rap. There is no rap. So, nah, I ain't trying to come here and talk about none of it.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We want to talk about baking. Preheating the oven. Where? Who has the best red velvet cake? Different yeast. Follow me as we discuss. Follow me on this journey. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Anyway. So Chris had disappointing numbers? 60 to 70? That seems low. Seems low to me. Seems low. Seems low to me.
Starting point is 00:52:35 It's low. He didn't have really like a big single. I don't care. Still low. I don't care. I don't like it. Compared to the last project
Starting point is 00:52:44 which was Indigo ah that's cheating it is you gotta skip that one no guidance and Heartbreak I think had maybe
Starting point is 00:52:55 four singles before the album dropped if I'm not mistaken Privacy what did that do numbers wise whoa is that true no alex don't you go putting some bullshit on this screen you better go ahead and do the vetting system hey alex you know and most of like the good shows i
Starting point is 00:53:18 know there'd be an agent in the field handling things and like a Chloe or somebody in the back room that's like a mega computer science geek that just funnels all the facts in. Are you 24? It's mad shows where that's the... Yeah, that nigga is the worst Chloe. He will send you through the...
Starting point is 00:53:39 In the Matrix, they'd have died. I pray that I need an outfit. Oh shit shit my bad y'all said it's a phone booth like it used to be it used to be a phone booth yeah that was a meme it was a meme
Starting point is 00:53:52 it wasn't a real door it was a meme door oh man now I got my yo come on Alex that was funny alright go ahead what y'all looking at
Starting point is 00:54:01 it did 154 heartbreak oh okay 60 to 70 is a little low numbers for Chris That was funny. All right, go ahead. What y'all looking at? It did 154. I'm heartbroken. Oh, okay. 60 to 70 is a little... It's low numbers. ...for Chris. Mm-hmm. See, that's where I start beefing.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I ain't beefing. Because if I got... I'm not saying he should beef. I'm in me. I ain't beefing. Because the album's amazing. I don't care. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:20 The album is super fire. If I was the only purchase, I'm cool. It's all the way fire. I didn't even really care what the numbers was until y'all started telling me, hey, that's not good. And the acts start posting, oh, it's all the Dirk Deluxe. Well, I mean, it's one of the biggest rap acts there is. One.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Two. Anytime that there's real world shit going on, they about to say I got my CBK going. But this is reflective throughout the history of music. When there's real world shit going on. They about to say I got my CBK going. But this is reflective throughout the history of music. When there's real world shit going on, music sales be affected. Yeah. Everybody out here, you complaining about gas.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Not you complaining, but they're raising gas. Yeah. No niggas complaining. They're raising regular fucking supermarket produce. Everything. Toilet tissue.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Everything. Y'all thought it was just oxtail yeah but y'all thought I can't because these niggas
Starting point is 00:55:10 majority of them are streaming now they still paying they little $9.99 and playing these albums the issue with the Chris project is
Starting point is 00:55:20 and I saw remember I told y'all I did a midnight stream when it launched people was like I can't find the album. And this is Chris Brown. No, that happened with me.
Starting point is 00:55:29 But I'm just saying, this is Chris Brown, though. An artist of his stature. That album was not available to me at Midnight. I typed in every Breezy and Chris Brown you possibly could. It wasn't there. So it's shit like that when the numbers reflect on that sense. Like, oh, I go in, I go look to see
Starting point is 00:55:45 what's in the music. But that's what, an hour? You think an hour? No, I'm talking... No, that happened. It was not available for me until the next day. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:52 And that happened. They say the cape thing, this, I saw multiple people saying, yo, where's the album? I mean, it definitely affects you. It does affect sales.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Well, because streaming is your sales now. So if I rely solely on streaming and I open an Apple Music or a Spotify or whatever and I go look at, it's midnight, Friday. I know this is when the new shit dropped. You're showing me this album, that album, that album, that album. So, okay, I'm going to run and listen to this.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I don't know. Like we said, if we don't look at Alex Page, we don't know what's dropping. You lost your strongest selling window. On that one day. Because Friday at midnight, everybody goes and listens. Or those who wake up in the morning the first time. You know music drops on Friday. So when you open that, you see the artist's face plastered all over the place.
Starting point is 00:56:37 And it's here. It's every little chart they got up there now. The music is there. When you see that, you know there's a new album. If I don't see you at all i don't know your project drop everybody ain't on social media like that running to see other people saying oh shit a chris album drops i open my app where i get my music from it's not there i don't know it's coming so i'm just playing what's out then you find out days later oh what is album drop
Starting point is 00:57:02 so that's why i was asking. So let's say hypothetically all the albums drop on Friday. Majority of them do. Yeah. Right? People don't know. But by, let's say, the following Tuesday, Wednesday,
Starting point is 00:57:14 they should know, no? Depends. It depends. Because some people only go every Friday. No, not only that. I open my music app. I find the songs I like. I might add them to my playlist.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I might hit download, whatever the case may be. But on Friday, I know I'm checking the new music tabs. I might not necessarily be checking the new music tab on Tuesday or Wednesday because the music drops on Friday. Why am I going back to the new music tab? That's what I'm saying. So you won't even know until the following Friday that somebody even had a project out. If it's put there. If it ain't put there, you might not know.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Got you. Unless you see people talking about it or somebody hit you up and say, yo, this dropped. Did you hear such and such shit? Yeah, that's where the TikTok shit comes into play. Because now the record's playing all over TikTok and people are spending a lot of time over there. You see somebody talking about it. Oh, shit. And now everything is integrated links. You click it talking about it. Oh shit. And now everything
Starting point is 00:58:06 is integrated links. You click it, take you right there to the album. And Beyonce and Drake are ticking. Mm-hmm. That little sticky shit
Starting point is 00:58:13 is everywhere. That shit going crazy. That record? Yeah. Shit going crazy everywhere. Mm-hmm. So yeah, that's kind of,
Starting point is 00:58:24 that does play a major major major part in these artist numbers when you're not highlighted and that was our independent thing again
Starting point is 00:58:32 like you don't get to be put on a playlist you don't get to be put on that front page of these these streaming services well if you're independent you got the plug
Starting point is 00:58:40 you can but if you don't get the plug aka it's a lot harder to get the bread yeah got to have the bread some niggas got the bread don't get the plug, aka. It's a lot harder to get. The bread. Yeah. Gotta have the bread. Some niggas got the bread.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Don't know who to talk to to get there. That's true, too. What do y'all think about this theory that's floating around that some of these labels are collecting life insurance on their artists? I heard that. I wouldn't be surprised. I heard that. I wouldn't be.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I wouldn't be remotely surprised. How would you feel about it? It would be disgusting. It's disgusting. There's no two ways about it. It's disgusting. It's like the Raiders or any NFL team take out an insurance policy on the athletes. That is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I think they do. I think they do. Why is that disgusting, though? Because if the person's family is not going to be the beneficiary, it's disgusting to me. What the fuck? We could take out a policy too. I know.
Starting point is 00:59:31 So cool, that's my family being the beneficiary of my demise. A label that is encouraging people to do... I don't know if they're encouraging them outright, but y'all say that because y'all are music people. I'm not really a music guy, but y'all say that because y'all are music people. I'm not really a music guy, but y'all saying that the label is encouraging people to make a certain type of music. And that certain type of music comes with a certain type of lifestyle or potential adversity.
Starting point is 00:59:56 I'm surprised to hear you say this. So if you're going to benefit from what y'all pushing me to do. But what if hypothetically, and probably not even hypothetically, say you pass, the label takes out the insurance policy on you. That allows the label to now invest more money into your posthumous project, which your family will then benefit off of.
Starting point is 01:00:15 And if they don't have the life insurance policy, they may not be incentivized to put more money into your projects that will continue to feed your family. It's still disgusting. Okay. Because the label because you you just gave us two ifs move the mic back some you gave us two ifs you gave us one
Starting point is 01:00:30 they'll be able to pump more money into your project that would allow your family to eat a lot of times y'all saying these families not eating and these people not eating off these sales so the label still continues to eat off the sales. The family may not do that. That's one. And then number two, even if you gave my family 20% of what you're making, you're still eating the other 80%. Fuck out of here. You're benefiting off of my death.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I'm not cool with that. The reason why I say I'm shocked is because you're a business person. And in a business, it's a risk assessment with anything you invest in, or no okay so if i'm a business and i'm choosing to invest this money into artist a right here right now i know what could possibly come with artist a to protect my investment it wouldn't make sense to to take out something just in case that happened not saying i hope it do but if that were to happen wouldn't it make make sense to to take out something just in case that happened not saying i hope it do but if that were to happen wouldn't it make some sense to kind of protect that a little
Starting point is 01:01:30 bit so to answer you um yeah these are some interesting takes that you guys have i'll be on my business shit but again i'm i'm a person that thinks about morality issues instead of just profitability i think that that's immoral i think again especially if you are one of the entities that is pushing this person to do that shit but you was doing that before you got cool but they're incentivizing yeah maybe that's what i'm saying that's a push yeah it is an incentive or motivation is a push so if you are incentivizing somebody to potentially make this gangster music or to live this certain lifestyle because it seems more true to form like y'all told me times where
Starting point is 01:02:11 um people will try to make a positive record the label don't be with that shit make bang bang shoot them up nigga that's what's out here selling again i don't know this to be true because what i'm saying is if that is the case and then you are still taking out an insurance policy in the event of my demise, I think that's nasty. Final point, anyone? What's your opinion? I would never. If you were the label. I would never allow it.
Starting point is 01:02:40 No, if I'm an artist. Yeah, I wouldn't allow that. Because the label would do what they want, but you have a choice as an artist. I wouldn't allow that. Because the label would do what they want, but you have a choice as an artist. I wouldn't allow that. On the flip side of that, I understand I probably would be the minority. As an artist. Yeah. The people on this side of the fence, that's how most niggas don't own their masters.
Starting point is 01:03:01 I mean, it's the same premise, kind of. So now you what? You're going to own my life insurance and my masters? And my what? And my pub, in some instances? Or I own all of it, but you eat from all of it in perpetuity?
Starting point is 01:03:17 That too. I've seen what you do with my rights. You shouldn't have life insurance on me. So, do I think you're going to do something different with my insurance money? I don't care if another project is never released through your distributors. No, my family will be rest in peace, triple X. We'll do it that way. His mom owns his.
Starting point is 01:03:42 They said a bunch of them, like four or five. There are. There's a thing. New dudes, they all own their or five there's a new dudes they all they own their shit and there's plenty of value in it
Starting point is 01:03:50 Vaughn owned his stuff but on the art side of things you gotta find out about that in the most painful way known to man or woman losing a child
Starting point is 01:03:58 a kid on the business side of that they just got that little secret fax machine thingy in the closet where they know what it's worth if you die. So I don't think that is, I don't think it's far-fetched.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I'll say that. I have nothing to support this argument either way, but just listening, I don't think it sounds far-fetched. Oh, shit, I got another one of my little dropout theories I want to give to you guys. Let's hear it. Dropout theories. Oh, shit. I got another one of my little dropout theories I want to give to you guys. Let's hear it. Dropout theories. I'm listening. A dropout theory. This is part two.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Okay. This is a part two of my dropout theory. What was part one? Just to refresh it. Part one was me coming in here saying, I think that they're giving me fake aquapon. Okay. Okay. I remember that.
Starting point is 01:04:47 I think there's probably been other parts in between but we'll roll with it. You're going to fuck with me. You're going to fuck with me. I'm listening. He might think none of this is even imaginable. Fake aqua panna. And that was a funny topic.
Starting point is 01:05:03 It was. That was hilarious. I do understand it but when I went, I was still baffled with the same question. That was just odd. Right? Okay. Now, for the last month and a half, I've been to everywhere you could be. Del Frisco's. Brooklyn Shop House.
Starting point is 01:05:27 They fucking in there. Both of them. Anywhere you could be out to eat. They fucking in there. Like, if you ever fuck a foodie, you just got to, nigga, I'm following New York hottest restaurant bars on Instagram when you fucking foodies. You got to invent new places. Little hole in the wall that got some good shit.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Hey, baby, it's a good grilled cheese or whatever the fuck they got i done been everywhere and in the last month and a half the strangest thing know what everybody say across the board we are out of bottled still that's odd that's. Anywhere you name. Right? Bomb. So now I put my watch on. Because I'm waiting to see when these chains get bottled. That seems just, how could you even operate and not have bottles still?
Starting point is 01:06:18 That's what I would say. But cool. Then they all get bottled still. It's no more Aquapana. Cool. It's some more Aquapana. Cool. It's some new shit. Blue Bottle. Saratoga.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Saratoga. Hey. That's cool. But for me, that's kind of odd that the water went away. And then when it came back, all of y'all happened to get it from one place. Nigga, I started taking pictures of the bottle. They in, uh... Saratoga not new.
Starting point is 01:06:51 It's old, but... Well, on the bottle, it says from 1872. It is. Or 1873 or some shit. But cool, that made me want to know, damn, somebody got this Saratoga water. Somebody got this line sewn up, right? But then I went home, and you know they got this shit where if you start thinking about something, they start pulling up shit in your phone.
Starting point is 01:07:15 And then I go home to see some guy I don't know say, Hey, have you ever asked yourself why all the richest people in the world are really buying up all of the land and then they put some music good editing and then he went into this long rant about how we're not far
Starting point is 01:07:35 from them attempting to monetize our natural resources such as water and okay I never heard it I never heard it it I never heard it. It was my first time hearing it.
Starting point is 01:07:47 It enlightened me. But then it went into a whole spiel. Such and such bought this amount of land over here. Then they started imagining. Imagine a world where they're doing the water what they did to oil. Is that far-fetched for you? That's not far-fetched. That's not really far-fetched. That's not far-fetched for me. That's not far-fetched? Bad for you? That's not far-fetched. It's not really far-fetched.
Starting point is 01:08:07 It's not far-fetched for me. It's not far-fetched. To imagine that. Hey, bro, it's no real. What? Right this second, it's probably not accurate, but a gallon of water costs more than a gallon of oil. Or a gallon of gas. Nah, not quite, but depending on the brand.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Depending on the brand. God, that's so brainwashed y'all don't hear nothing wrong with that no I didn't say there's nothing wrong with it I said it's not far fetched for me to think that they would be attempting to do that five people shouldn't control water
Starting point is 01:08:38 five people shouldn't control media I agree it's seven of them that control media I don't even really give a fuck about that because that's another distraction put here for you humans. Media, for me,
Starting point is 01:08:49 don't play a... It's how people learn. People learn from the media. Nigga, we the media. We our own media. We can't be thinking that that media is really going to burn us.
Starting point is 01:09:01 We're not saying that. To an extent. Supreme Court is going to be coming for that one too. You say we are our own media. Go ahead and put something out that they don't want out. Supreme Court We're coming for that soon We're not saying that To an extent Supreme Court gonna be Coming for that one soon too To an extent You say we are We are our own media
Starting point is 01:09:07 Go ahead and put Put something out That they don't want out That's why shadow Oh they'll kill you And all that other shit exist Like yeah Shadow man
Starting point is 01:09:14 We can keep I'm just saying I'm talking about you Being a shadow No no no I know but I'm just saying They will smoke your boots Internet keeps on
Starting point is 01:09:20 Why you keep leaping things Cause life Enjoy it Yo I paid 40 dollars I don't wanna Breathing Lungs What's wrong with y'all that keeps on why you keep bleeping things cause life enjoy it yo I paid $40 breathing lungs what's wrong with y'all yeah but now
Starting point is 01:09:29 what I'm saying is like they still control that shit like it's only so much you're going to get out there's seven entities that
Starting point is 01:09:36 control the media seven that's crazy bro the information that we all there's seven entities that own
Starting point is 01:09:45 every product in this fucking country that's being sold. So to your point, why would you think that these entities wouldn't want to control water? No, no, no. I understand why they would want to.
Starting point is 01:10:00 It's nuts. I'm saying... I disagree with this. Pretty soon, niggas gonna be having to pay for air. If they found a way to monetize the air, it'd be like,
Starting point is 01:10:08 yo, I had to get my air in my mama name. Yo, you know how they sell that shit there? What? Air. No bullshit.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I was in Walgreens. They sell, it's a little tube with a mask on it and it's just fucking air and they sell them. You can put this shit on and breathe air.
Starting point is 01:10:26 I have no idea what it's used for. There's a personal air cartridge you can buy now. There was a thing, this is a while ago, I don't know if they still exist, but they had bars
Starting point is 01:10:36 where they just had air. You could go to a bar and get different types of air. Different kinds of air. Okay, I'm going to progress us. It's fine. I'm sure there's something else. Your conspiracy dropped out.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Yeah, it worked. You started it. It worked. You got us here. I wouldn't be surprised, though, to answer you. I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think we're far off. I think that's nuts.
Starting point is 01:10:58 I think it's crazy. I'm sure that fewer people own water than we know or think about right now. Fam, fam. We pay for gas, natural gas I'm talking about. We pay for everything. If they can find a way to restrict it, they're going to sell it to you. How did Saratoga bully their way? But no, stay there, stay there.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Aquapana might cost mad bread. Because the first time I ever had Aquapana was overseas. They used to be having it overseas. Like that's one of the major waters you would get overseas. No, no. That's back when you used to take trips. Got you. Yeah, back in the day.
Starting point is 01:11:32 He didn't take a trip in a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a while. Hey, man. Tripless. Tripless. Tripless in Jersey. See the bitch jar.
Starting point is 01:11:40 You could always do like the, what movie was that where you put the picture up of where you wanted to go? You know what I'm saying? But yo, so let's just say for argument's sake, Aquapana costs mad bread. It's hard to get it shipped over here.
Starting point is 01:11:54 All of those things are plaguing mad industries. Saratoga is relatively available. So now you gotta do what you gotta do. Aquapana might be charging a premium based on everything else in the world
Starting point is 01:12:06 charging a fucking premium. So now Saratoga's available. It don't be but so many liquor and beverage distributors so it's probably the same distributor handling a lot of these restaurants. Saratoga is in New York but I don't know where Aquapana's based
Starting point is 01:12:17 or where it comes from. And they probably got a nice little deal with Saratoga and that's what it is. See, look how fast this is up now. Water deep dive podcast fuck that music shit fuck that music shit
Starting point is 01:12:28 never discussing billboard again look what they're doing to water great spot y'all gotta watch the South Park special the streaming wars
Starting point is 01:12:35 where they actually talk about water streams not streaming like Netflix and shit it touches right on this South Park niggas is different touches right on this
Starting point is 01:12:42 some shit they just put out like three weeks ago these South Park niggas is different they be knowing some shit this. Some shit they just put out like three weeks ago. These South Park niggas is different. They be knowing some shit. Yeah, they be trying to tell you what's going on
Starting point is 01:12:49 without saying it. They try to dress it up and make it high, high, high. They be talking though. That's what Houston's did. We don't have bottles still. We have triple filter,
Starting point is 01:12:57 triple filter flat. I mean, triple filter, triple filter tap. I'm good. Mike, so tap. Tap. Tap, tap. That y good. So tap. Tap.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Tap, bro. Tap. That y'all ran three times. Let me get a gingerbread. You just want to run for three seconds and report it? Yo, let me get a gingerbread, ma. It's cool.
Starting point is 01:13:13 I'm good on that one. That's funny, though. Come on, what else we got this? Did y'all hear in California, they actually going to be giving a stimulus to help people pay for gas? Inflation. Not just gas. For inflation. Inflation. Not just gas.
Starting point is 01:13:25 For inflation. Inflation checks. They are trying to give niggas a thousand dollars. Ten fifty. A thousand and fifty dollars. Another stimmy. I think it's dope.
Starting point is 01:13:37 But we had a big argument about stimulus checks and what they did last week. So I'm going to let Ice take it away. Go ahead, Ice. People need it, so it's dope.
Starting point is 01:13:53 I don't remember the initial argument. It looks like you got half him against the ropes. Why are you looking like that? No, I don't. I think it was about the rent. We talked about just the government was helping people with stimulus checks before and how it affected
Starting point is 01:14:06 other entities so this is one where California has proposed did it go through yeah it looks like it went through
Starting point is 01:14:15 yeah I think it's dope for California I just don't know what other shit is gonna come down the pike. What you mean?
Starting point is 01:14:30 It's a funny game when you start doing a subsidy game because it's going to pull from somewhere. They ain't giving out free money. Since when this government gave out some free spanking? I just think they'll pull it from somewhere else to offset it, but it's dope. Jersey need it. I'm just saying, man, if people fucked up else to offset it. But it's dope. Jersey need it.
Starting point is 01:14:46 I'm just saying, man, if people fucked up and they need it, get it to them. Indeed. I agree with that. And a lot of people do feel that way, but then, you know, like you said, down the line when you realize, oh, shit, this is up because of that or this happened because of that, you know. But some people ain't going to make it to that point. Like, niggas need help, man. I'm a fan of that. But some people ain't going to make it to that point. Niggas need help, man.
Starting point is 01:15:07 I'm a fan of that. So I'm not against it. Y'all think I'm a capitalist Republican. I'm not. I just want to know when Jersey getting it, how I sign up for mine. Who thinks that is? Everybody. That you feed.

I wouldn't be surprised if we heard in nine months she's getting extradited to a French prison. Dead ass. I wouldn't be surprised. I would not be surprised. Like she comes from money. Like the other money. She was born into money.
Starting point is 01:24:36 And generated more out here on the streets. I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing would surprise me with that. Well, we'll see. And it should be right here to keep you updated on the JVP. Nothing would surprise me with that. Okay. Well, we'll see. Mm-hmm. And it should be right here to keep you updated on the JVP each and every week, two times. Stupid. What else we got, Joe?
Starting point is 01:24:56 What else do we have? Yeah, it's mad shit. Yeah, I'm- Alex. I'm avoiding the shit that's like extra sad I'm going to be honest with you all I have in my head is like really sad news yeah sad and
Starting point is 01:25:12 disappointing and like I'm like really rocked by the shocker news I am like personally like it's one of those that's tough to report on I don't have any information I haven't spoken to anybody and I don't know any facts of this. And I love Shaka. And many of you love Shaka too.
Starting point is 01:25:33 So I'm just going to continue to pray, keep fingers crossed and hope that he pulls through. For those of you that don't know Shaka is a well known well respected well loved man
Starting point is 01:25:54 in the music business many of us have met him through Disturbing Peace, Managing Ludacris Magic Johnson tweeted they've been doing business for 20 years Shaka got that fatty, goddammit. But, yeah, he's done a lot of business, a lot of good business with a lot of good people. And we love him.
Starting point is 01:26:14 So this rocked me. Yeah, same. This rocked me. I don't even know him. Even seeing y'all post it rocks me. Like sometimes the news cycle just hits a little too close to home and this is one of those stories for a lot of people uh shocker veteran music executive and longtime manager of atlanta rapper ludacris was shot sunday night in the city's buckhead neighborhood police
Starting point is 01:26:36 confirmed uh the executive who is co-ceo of disturbing the peace records was shot near peace tree around two other men were also shot all three were transported to a local hospital where one died according to the report and that's what happened that's what we know what has been reported scary times man prayers of shaka yeah like i have never heard one bad thing about him like i got friends that are personally close to him and all you hear about is just He's a dope dude You can hear reports about people that get money But you don't always hear that they just Quality good people
Starting point is 01:27:11 From what I've heard that he's just one of them Like just a good dude So yeah prayers to his family his friends It's crazy out here y'all Yeah just Prayers to his entire network and it's a large one. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:27:29 Even outside of the A, yeah. Yeah, he's been everywhere for some time. This is not just Atlanta business. Yeah. Like, this is everyone's business. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:27:44 It just seems like every couple days we report somebody. Yeah, once a week. Once a week. Like, just getting shot once a week. Just once a week. And the hard part of that is you start to weigh your own thoughts and beliefs. Like, on one end, you'll be for gun reform. But then on the other end, it's a right that you can have a gun.
Starting point is 01:28:16 And it just starts to be like, damn, dog, where do you draw the line? You know what I'm saying? Like, we can't leave it to human beings to be responsible. You know what I'm saying? You can can't leave it to human beings to be responsible. You know what I'm saying? You can't really leave it to human beings to be responsible. We're not very good at being responsible. Yeah. And even that, like, even the gun reform argument, a lot of these niggas that's getting guns ain't going out getting them the legal way anyway.
Starting point is 01:28:42 Getting guns ain't going out getting them the legal way anyway. But again, if you had them where you couldn't get them in the Walmarts and you couldn't get them so freely, right, it would make it harder. I'm not saying make it impossible. It would make it harder because you kind of don't see this level of gun violence in other countries. Other progressive nations, you don't see this. Nah, but what I'm saying, like, for example, New York and New Jersey, it ain't easy to get a gun. But you can go right two states over and get one. But you could buy a gun in New Jersey, too, like that. Not as easy.
Starting point is 01:29:12 Not as easy. I'm talking about, I'm not saying walk into a store. I'm talking about niggas is selling guns, yo. Oh, you mean on the street? That's what I'm talking about. Oh, I thought you. No, no, no. So when I say this gun reform shit, like, I'm saying a lot of these niggas with guns didn't get them legally anyway.
Starting point is 01:29:26 But when they catch the guns, you know where they came from? They stole them from somewhere. The Virginias, the Georgias, the other states. Came from somewhere. Where you can walk in Target, Home Depot. I mean, not Home Depot. You can walk in Walmart and just buy a gun off the shelf. We got niggas with fake IDs and all that.
Starting point is 01:29:42 My man came home. They was going to Virginia, getting mad guns, and bringing them back up here. That was their business. So if you just passed a certain level of reform, period, across the board, it hopefully, not saying that. It will take a while. It will take a long time, but it will hopefully stop some of the shit. Good point. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:30:01 Good point. Prayers up for Lil Tjay as well. Indeed. Indeed. Yes. We just talked about when the news cycle hits too close to home. And like we said last pod,
Starting point is 01:30:12 they did that next to a precinct. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. They get the tractor trailer thing. Not the same. It's not violence, gun violence, but still terrible
Starting point is 01:30:26 news. San Antonio, a tractor trailer full of migrants, immigrants. 46, I think they're still tallying up deaths. It was 50 deaths and I think they took 16 people to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:30:42 I think. Those are the numbers. But yeah, that's crazy. That is insane. Yeah, the death toll had risen to 50. It said it felt like, it felt like, not felt like, it was 150 degrees
Starting point is 01:30:55 in the back of that truck. Did that happen, bro? They shut it down. River Road. That's insane. That's crazy. That's insane. Prayers up, yo. Yeah, word. River Road. That's insane. That's crazy. That's insane. Prayers up, yo.
Starting point is 01:31:07 Yeah, we're trying times. Trying times. Go ahead. We might need you to. Yeah. Yeah. I thought there might have been some more. Nah.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Nah, there's more serious news, but there's not as much sad, I guess. that's about sad I guess they pulling the plan B's out the store they're starting to rationalize no what they're doing is they're putting limits
Starting point is 01:31:34 on how many you can buy so people don't just buy them all up but I think it's leaning toward they're gonna start putting a ban on that contraceptive
Starting point is 01:31:44 yup toward they gonna start putting a a ban on that contraceptive I believe so yep imagine if that happened to men yo what and there was a mandate on what you could and
Starting point is 01:31:56 couldn't do which it did which it never that sounds ridiculous sounds insane sounds insane Sounds ridiculous, yo. Sounds insane. Sounds insane. I feel alive With you in my arms You blow my mind
Starting point is 01:32:27 I'm satisfied I was thinking So much about you While this record is playing, I also hate reading the transcripts from these murderers trials of some of our favorite people like all that eric holden ipsy shit i had to stop i couldn't read that i can't read none of that yo i had to stop that you know it's see and that's funny to me
Starting point is 01:33:01 it's like you're right i'm a c But like, when I get in my house, it's mad shit to cry about. What do y'all men do with all the shit out there that is to cry about? I don't understand the other side of it. No, what I was saying was... How y'all even think about or consume some of this shit and like not cry?
Starting point is 01:33:21 I try to shy away from that shit. I don't want to read the transcripts of a great black man that got killed. I don't want to see that. Me, personally. I don't want to see that. So I try to move away from some of that depressing shit.
Starting point is 01:33:37 That's why I watch the news. And Joe, to answer your question, a lot of this shit's happening so much that people are becoming numb of this shit's happening so much that people are getting numb to the shit now. Bro, I read, fam, you could go on your timeline and fuck read it. You could see it happen.
Starting point is 01:33:54 True. And it's like, the way that would've affected me fucking four or five years ago don't even affect me the same way today because I've seen it so much. It's like, now I can look at it and just roll right past it like, damn, that's fucked keep pushing one of my peoples is a principal and that's scary bruh and they said like um you know in newark some of the kids get killed like young kids get killed and how it's so normal i ain't gonna say, but it's not as rare anymore. Whereas in certain communities, if a car accident happens for the teenagers, they bring psychologists in.
Starting point is 01:34:32 They bring professionals in to talk to them. We've counseled this all that time. Over a car accident, we get murdered in the inner city. And life just keeps moving on. It's business as usual. Oh, damn. So imagine the trauma that these kids are having it's the same thing with us we keep hearing about hip-hop people and young black people that we might know and love
Starting point is 01:34:50 that are just being murdered and and the first couple will affect you and slowly but surely it'll just be like damn another one damn another one they don't really be hitting even even police shootings like the first like now y'all just gonna sad this whole song you got the song playing
Starting point is 01:35:08 I mean get the shit off but I remember how the first couple police shootings unarmed black people made me feel
Starting point is 01:35:15 that shit happens so much when you read it now it's like damn another one they don't even make the news some of them

Kyrie caused quite a bit of drama this weekend I like him we do yeah they said that there's reported I'll go ahead I'm sorry I'm sorry they said there's irreparable irreparable beef between Kyrie and Steve Nash. Highlighted a story from a few months ago where there was a team meeting at Nash's house and allegedly Kyrie said, hey man, take me to see Kobe's MVPs. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:37:03 I like it. That was my man Kobe know they friends nigga where them trophies at that's funny yo come on I was laughing
Starting point is 01:37:14 myself all weekend at least one of them was Kobe's at least one of them was Kobe's I was laughing all weekend when the reports were coming out
Starting point is 01:37:21 that the Nets were like nah we'd rather lose everyone than go through what we went through last year. I'm like, what the fuck kind of New York-ass attitude is that to have for the leaders of an organization? Let all the Hall of Famers walk out the door. I don't want to be sad anymore. Fuck that.

Starting point is 01:39:14 He's not a max player. I didn't call him a max player. Max out on his extension. As in the years or the money? That don't make him a max player. Oh, you're saying pick up his options. No, he's eligible for that extension shit.
Starting point is 01:39:32 He's not a free agent, but whatever the biggest extension is that he can get in this year with his contract, he's eligible for it. That don't make him a max player. It's still a lot of money. I keep him. Look, okay. Gotcha. It's still a lot of money. I keep him. Look, $32 million.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Barrett has a $32 million free agent hold in 2023 in a contract that starts at $23 million would actually give the Knicks more cap flexibility. Oh, because he was such a high pick. Yeah, he's the third pick. Yeah, okay, okay, okay. He's the third pick. It's a lot of money. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:03 Damn. Yeah. Kind of got to pay him. You got to pay him, yeah. Kind of of money Yeah Damn Yeah Kinda gotta pay him Gotta pay him Kinda gotta pay him Yeah He's good You kinda gotta pay him Just for the small fact

They scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments. I've been right about a few of them too, God damn it. It's fine though.
Starting point is 01:42:30 I accurately guessed Keep Sweat. All y'all told me Bobby Brown. Look that one up. I got the tough ones right. See, nah, because we fucked up
Starting point is 01:42:42 because we forgot about the performance aspect of the version. But that's new, yo. That's new. That's where we fucked up. I'm telling you where we fucked up because we forgot about the performance aspect of the verse. But that's new, yo. That's new. That's where we fucked up. I'm telling you where we fucked up. They just started doing that.
Starting point is 01:42:48 But that's what's been counting, bruh. Same thing when we was talking Dipset Locks. I think if they could have performed them records better, it might have translated a little differently. It's a different fight. So we be forgetting about the performance part. We talk about Omarion and mario he won with a record nobody ever heard i know these rappers don't do like cyphers anymore and that's a thing of like old school ancient history but for the people that are familiar with cyphers like back when
Starting point is 01:43:17 there were cyphers outside sharpens your shit there's no cypher anywhere that Jadakiss walks up into and you're just cool. That's true. I agree. Not nowhere in the world. And that's why Cyphers are great. Because it could just be that one nigga with skill to walk up anywhere and that skill take place right there in that moment. That's a great feeling, yo.
Starting point is 01:43:42 It is. That used to be me. I used to be alright. I got the bell cow running back here, though. Adrian Peterson ran for fucking 20 years up the middle.
Starting point is 01:43:52 Ask him about me over there. Yeah, I watched this guy tear his ACL and come back in a month. Yeah, a couple times.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Genetics. Niggas say, yo, my father's 50-something years old. He still got abs. Your father might not Handle knuckle game though
Starting point is 01:44:06 I don't know Genetically you might be Physically superior I'm rolling with Adrian Peterson Me too In this matchup Respectfully I don't have no other reason
Starting point is 01:44:17 Other than I just don't like Le'Veon Bell That's it Why you don't like Le'Veon Bell Oh as a Steeler fan Yeah Why you don't like Le'Veon Bell I'm just rolling with Adrian Peterson Y'all want Pam Cause he't like Le'Veon Bell? I'm just rolling with Adrian Peterson, dog.
Starting point is 01:44:25 Y'all want Pam? Because he wanted to get paid. Y'all want Pam, so you left? I'm just rolling with Adrian Peterson, dog. Maybe he's a capitalist. I'm the capitalist. Maybe Ice is a capitalist. I was about to say, I'm the capitalist.
Starting point is 01:44:36 Hey, he left and got paid, didn't he? Yes. You did. All right. What happened? Get paid, y'all. Get paid. What do you mean, what?
Starting point is 01:44:43 I don't know. He went to a shitty team. He got paid. He got what he wanted. Just that fast. Fantasy football drafting is around the corner. I woke up with that on my mind. All year, I'd be feeling like, damn, I can't wait to get to it.
Starting point is 01:44:55 And then once it's time, it'd be like, oh, have I studied? Nah, this one, you- Do I know? Nah, this whole league is upside down. Yeah, this might be the one right here. I'm bringing Ray with me. I'm bringing Ray with me. I'm bringing Ray with me to the draft. I got it figured out now.
Starting point is 01:45:11 You're bringing Ray? I'm bringing Ray with me to the draft. I don't know how Ray do that shit. And I'm going to have Keeb as a team manager throughout the season. It was some Sundays I woke up a little late, and he was just right there to set it up. That's important. Especially because they tried to flip it at my little, that little celebration trophy dinner they did.
Starting point is 01:45:30 Every year, them niggas try to get to it with some new rules. Now I'm sitting there arguing with Bun B. Fam, should I be arguing with Bun B anywhere? No, it's Uncle Bun. No, but over football and these rules. What rules were they suggesting? They suggested... Damn, am I even allowed to snitch?
Starting point is 01:45:50 I don't know. I'm in the cold. I am. What the fuck are they going to do? They suggested that if a week goes by and you don't set a lineup, you're kicked out the league.
Starting point is 01:46:00 Oh, shit. I love it. I love it. I fuck with that. Clap for that, yo. I'm not clapping for that. No, you need more of that because I love it. I fuck with that. Clap for that, yo. I'm not clapping for that. No, you need more of that. I'm tired of people not saying that.
Starting point is 01:46:08 What are you doing? Good. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Because people will be fucking up the league. People will fuck you. Yo, that one week will fuck your whole playoff up.
Starting point is 01:46:15 It's not fair, too. It's not fair. It's not fair. That one motherfucker who would have won had he set his line up. I'm not mad at the room, but they left no room
Starting point is 01:46:24 for an exemption, right? It is, yo. Sometimes them London games, you don't be knowing that they on at 6 in the morning. That's your job as a team manager. But to kick somebody
Starting point is 01:46:35 out of a money league over that is excessive. It's a lot of money at stake here. This one asshole sleeping his team could fuck the whole league up. Let me ask you,
Starting point is 01:46:44 what's the... Fuck that. I me ask you, what's the... Fuck that. I'm with you. What's the Richard McCullough in the money league? What's the payout? 50? I won't say. One here.
Starting point is 01:46:50 It's high. It's high. It's money. It's high, nigga. It's a nigga's yearly salary in America. And you fucked up and didn't set your lineup, so this nigga beat you. And now he got the top. Now he makes the playoff because he got the one extra win.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Or he got a buy in the playoffs, some shit like that. Yeah, no. It's not fair. You just fucked the whole league up. That is true. Now he makes the playoff because he got the one extra win. Or he got a bye in the playoffs, some shit like that. Yeah, no. It's not fair. You just fucked the whole league up. That is true. I want people that play. I don't care if you in last place. Set your line up.
Starting point is 01:47:11 Set your line up. Have some integrity. I agree. I don't do niggas that, oh, I'm out. I'm out of this shit. I don't even care no more. He's right. Yeah, that's right.

Starting point is 01:49:46 I love that. The commish called me right back. I thought I answered for him. Niggas got 17 magazines spread out. But that's not my most hated guy in a fantasy league. And I'll say this and we can move on. The guy that's trading Derrick Henry for fucking scraps off the Rams, like some waiver-wired dudes.
Starting point is 01:50:06 That's nasty. He got to go, too. He got to go, too. Yeah. In the leagues that I'm in. But see, that's usually the person that's not in it. No. See, the leagues that I'm in, you veto that trade.
Starting point is 01:50:15 You can, but here's the problem. Here's the problem. Niggas don't pay attention to that shit. I've seen it. I'm a commish. You know that. I've seen it happen. The nigga that's in last place who had who
Starting point is 01:50:25 got two or three who got two or three who got two or three monsters on the squad but he ain't paying attention to this shit no more his money's gone he's out so somebody hit him up like yo let me give you the kicker for derrick henry all right whatever yo just go ahead and approve that trade i sent you okay cool if niggas not paying attention when that email come and veto the niggas in the league needed veto yes bro there's been times i caught niggas yo go veto that shit y'all see this because i'm not i'm not abusing the commission power and overruling it also really quick to blurt out some more of my greatness you know in the midst of steph curry's amazing season we almost forgot that he also won the All-Star
Starting point is 01:51:05 Game MVP. I didn't. A lot of us did. He was pow-powing Trey. A lot of people did. Gave Trey a pow-pow. Because somebody else went off that game, but he still won it. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:51:15 No, somebody else did go off. He went off. I forgot that even in me picking the NBA and NFL winners in the preseason I forgot how far I put my foot up the three of you guys' asses in our fantasy league and won the chip. You did what? I won our fantasy league. You didn't put your foot anywhere. My foot was
Starting point is 01:51:36 there in your fucking rectum. You went home early in the game. You thought you had a chance. Joe seized all life from you like a great whale swallowing some mere mortal. That's the Ice shit. Ice? I didn't win. I don't like y'all face when I win. I ain't gonna
Starting point is 01:51:51 hold you. Look at Ice's face. You won. What you want me to say? You are my friend. Ice is the only league where the playoffs be two weeks. I'm not the only league. He's not the only league. I keep telling Ish that. Your money league is like that? He tells me you did that before. I mean, we never did that. I'm like, bro, that's not he's not the only league I keep telling Ish that your money league is like that he tells me yo you did that before
Starting point is 01:52:06 I mean we never did that I'm like bro that's been the case every time my money league is like that the playoffs is two weeks yes can't be one week
Starting point is 01:52:12 why can't it it's only one week if it's 12 or more teams we play 10 team league it's two weeks only the top four make the playoffs many a men
Starting point is 01:52:21 many a men in my money league have kicked ass that first week and didn't show up week two or thought you was up so much
Starting point is 01:52:29 that's what I did I don't like y'all face off me winning our fantasy league championship go ahead yo forget it talk about what y'all won
Starting point is 01:52:36 forget it yo y'all make winning not even it ain't even it ain't even fun to win around y'all because niggas already won act like you won something no cause y'all didn't fun to win around y'all. Because niggas already won. Act like you won something.
Starting point is 01:52:45 No, because y'all didn't acknowledge my Monopoly championship. Y'all don't acknowledge my super fantasy football. Y'all don't acknowledge shit. Sam, what you want us to do? Come here and get the balloons made at the same time. When y'all winning something, I'll be right there with a bottle of wine or some champagne or some shit. I'm going to bite your arm in the hand, yo,
Starting point is 01:53:00 so you can just keep patting yourself on the back. We gave you the props for picking the Super Bowl winner preseason. Your 40s ain't for friends, yo. Your 40s ain't for friends. Like, I mean, that ain't what it is. Another story that tears, tears,
Starting point is 01:53:19 more tears. Brittany, more sad. Come on, yo. It's horrible. I don't know what to say. I don't even know what to say about this. My heart hurt. It's unfortunate.
Starting point is 01:53:30 Super politics. That's all it is, yeah. Politics way above my understanding. Word. But boy, is this nuts. A Russian court on Monday scheduled Brittany Griner's trial to start Friday, according to her lawyer, and ruled the WNBA star detention to be extended six months pending its outcome. Griner, who has been held in Russia since her arrest at a Moscow airport on allegations of attempted drug smuggling, attended the preliminary hearing in person on Monday, arriving at court handcuffed and flanked by guards in black vests.
Starting point is 01:54:04 What? I hate that argument argument over a little pen. What's up? And I'm taking this completely off her. I'll put it on myself even. If that's against the law and I take a pen there, I'm smuggling something there, they can charge you with that. I hate when people say that it's
Starting point is 01:54:22 just weed. It's just this. Everybody's laws ain't the same with that we saw what happened when uh when when when future and esco got caught over there and i think it was dubai and he said that's where 56 nights came from over some weed everybody don't treat weed the way we do unfortunately i'm not saying i guess i took this off her but every time i hear something and somebody say oh it's it's just this, it's just that. Okay, cool. What does the law in that particular area say?
Starting point is 01:54:49 You got to know what's up when you're traveling overseas. Because everybody don't roll the way we roll. In Jamaica, you could get arrested for cursing in public. There's been entertainers that were doing a concert and cursed and got snatched up off stage and arrested and charged. You got to know the laws where you're going again i please don't kill me about i'm not saying she deserves any of this but i'm just saying laws of certain countries are their laws i ask you the same nigga to say free pooch ice every week i just said that because i like his music pooch ice he's not coming no not. Never mind. I say that as a fan of just that.
Starting point is 01:55:25 Because we got laws here, too. You are 100% correct. You're right. Hey, Joe, you're right. I say that on some ha-ha shit because I'm a fan of the music, but I know the truth. I know the truth.
Starting point is 01:55:37 Yeah, you stupid. You're absolutely right. We say free a lot of niggas that shouldn't be free. Truthfully. I think the Russia Please Please
Starting point is 01:55:46 Probably the biggest part In her Like yo we gonna learn Y'all something Y'all arrogant ass Americans We gonna learn Y'all something Yo and
Starting point is 01:55:55 And And Off that I think it's definitely Are you gonna keep Feeding them bread Yeah This is the worst
Starting point is 01:56:03 Of all the countries To get How many billion dollars We gave him No that's what I said This is the worst of all the countries to get- How many billion dollars we get for them? No, that's what I said. I said the Russia piece is the biggest piece. You fucking with the ops. That's what I said. I said the Russia part.
Starting point is 01:56:12 Even if it was another country that had marijuana being illegal, I don't think it would have gone this far. No, probably not. You know what I'm saying? We might have a back channel where we can discuss and maybe make something happen. we they not fucking with us and that's why i said the russian we don't even have that no they are they talking about yo we swapping her for an arms dealer nigga and i'm and and i ain't giving up my arms dealer that we caught y'all with i mean that we caught we're not giving him up this little black ball player ain't worth yeah yeah this is yeah
Starting point is 01:56:47 nah they got the leverage and we unfortunately it's either you're gonna play ball with what they want or you're not and it looks like they're not that's crazy i don't think she deserves this at all but i just like i said just that particular part When I keep hearing people say It's just this Like I don't really like that argument That's all It's just of all the countries In the world I really feel for her family And her and her family
Starting point is 01:57:12 That's the worst one right now I definitely do Like people diss me Saying yo She ain't no star And all this other shit When I said it a couple weeks ago That's relative
Starting point is 01:57:22 See I don't even care about that No cause I said it I said that We not paying In my opinion We weren't paying enough attention a couple weeks ago, that's relative. See, I don't even care about that. No, because I said that we not paying, in my opinion, we weren't paying enough attention to it. Like, I said that if it was Steph or if it was, you know, somebody that generated way more revenue, then there would be a bigger outcry publicly to get them home. You know what I'm saying? Like, if Steph Curry got detained over there,
Starting point is 01:57:44 the governor of fucking California. Has a stake in that. Because they generate so much money. For the state of California. That we got to start making some phone calls nigga. You get what I'm saying? We got to make phone calls. The NBA is making phone calls.
Starting point is 01:57:58 And again. It's Russia we talk about. And what we dealing with. There are people. That shit plays a role in this. It does. But I think we would be willing shit plays a role in this. It does, but I think we would be willing to bargain a little bit more
Starting point is 01:58:07 if $100 million got made off of Brittany. Well, there's the bargaining chip. They told you, yo, we want him. Y'all got him. That's who we want. True.
Starting point is 01:58:15 There's the bargaining. Yeah, that's it. Anyway, like I said, man, I hate this for her. I hope she can come back home to her family. The minimum penalty possible, hopefully. But I don't think
Starting point is 01:58:27 they're going to play ball at all. Russia is, they're going to make an example. That's all I got on it. Sad. Super sad. It's very sad. And to everybody else traveling, again, be mindful where you're going, bro, and what's allowed and not allowed, just just try to think
Starting point is 01:58:46 about that it's cool here whatever's cool here might not be cool there and you you don't want to find out when you stepping off a plane or you in a damn embassy somewhere or customs or something and now you finding out oh shit i'm facing some real serious shit here. True indeed. All right, what Airbnb did? Airbnb permanently bans disruptive parties and events, effectively ending all party houses globally. You did not end party houses globally. No, you didn't end party houses. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:59:19 Just their party houses globally. They didn't end shit. Yeah, they didn't do nothing. They did nothing the 4th of July kickback is at an Airbnb 100% and it's still gonna happen
Starting point is 01:59:30 and do something about it they will what they gonna do nothing what Airbnb gonna do yeah uh oh can't spell capital-ish
Starting point is 01:59:41 without they would probably start to Take a bigger deposit And shit like that That's not gonna be refundable Alright, we'll pay that Yeah, I'm just saying, but We selling tickets to this party, my nigga

Starting point is 02:00:36 Y'all had some hot takes That I thought y'all was scared To bring to the air Alright No no no no Cause this is I don't know who he talking about Y'all
Starting point is 02:00:42 Officially Ice Don't say your government name? Don't group me with y'all. I can say what I say. That's a persona, yo. You're not cut like that. We were having a versus debate. Alex, you think he cut?
Starting point is 02:00:53 Wait, hold up. Oh, okay, yeah. Alex, you think Ice cut like that? I don't know. Let's see. Let's see. Let's find out, yo. We was having a little versus talk just about watching artists and stuff do Versus, and
Starting point is 02:01:05 some names started to pop up. I won't even say the names you asked, because I'm not you, and you might run from your take. Might not want to say it on air or whatever. But anyway, J. Cole's name came up, and then I said- We love you, Cole. Yeah, yeah. You want a cape now, or you want to wait until I say what I say? Yo, do I need to wear a cape?
Starting point is 02:01:26 Niggas know what time it is with me. It's me. Oh, okay. J. Cole's name came up and I said, yo, Wale will smoke J. Cole in the verses. And then he said, you won't say that on the air, so I'm going to ask camera three to right at me. Yo, officially ice. Wale will smoke J. Cole in A-versus.
Starting point is 02:01:46 I knew ice and ash. He gets him out of here. I don't think so. Smoke. He gets him out of here. I don't think so. Light it up. Pack watch.
Starting point is 02:01:58 Big gas. I don't know if it's going to be as much of a smoke as ice is. Big gas. Bonfire. He gets him out of here nah okay they're friends they're friends he just told his little reddit group that him and wale talk all the time that has nothing to do with nothing i heard you say it has nothing to do to do with nothing. I don't do that because I'm cool with you. Support your side of this argument. Why do you feel this way?
Starting point is 02:02:29 He has bigger records that are going to bang that J. Cole can do nothing with. Nothing. You don't think J. Cole got some big records too? I didn't say he didn't. I said the records he has, he can't do nothing with. That's what I said. I didn't say nothing. J. Cole has big records.
Starting point is 02:02:45 100%. What's J. Cole's biggest record? All right, sure. You're going to make me call Wale, yo. And I don't want to do that right now. You're going to make me put him in a tough spot. Call J. Cole. Don't call Wale.
Starting point is 02:03:00 I don't have J. Cole's phone number. And I haven't even given an opinion on the topic yet I'm just fucking with you about yours don't try to include me don't deflect I'm not deflecting anything I haven't given
Starting point is 02:03:10 who I thought I'm not deflecting anything in this matter you have so you're attacking that who has bigger songs Wale has big songs
Starting point is 02:03:21 um what you umming I'm umming that they both have big songs can you answer his question the bigger'm umming that they both have big songs. Can you answer his question? What's his biggest song? I don't know his biggest song.
Starting point is 02:03:28 It's off the top of my head. What would be the record he closed out the verses with? Who? I'm talking Parks. J. Cole. What's the song that he... You know, they saved a big record for the last song. Or they two joints.
Starting point is 02:03:40 I'm not sure. Let's skip the fact they got records together because they would probably do those last. But I'm talking about his last solo big record. I have to look at his shit. I'm going to tell you, whatever it is, it's not fucking with No Hands. No Hands is going to smack whatever song he gets out the park. Stop it. That is true.
Starting point is 02:03:57 That's not true. That is 1,000% true. 1,000% true. It's not true. Yes, it is. No role models, whatever you want to do. You want to work out. No Hands is not just getting no role models out of you. Yes, it is. That's not true. No, it is. That's not true. No role models, whatever you want to do. You want to work out.
Starting point is 02:04:07 No hands is not just getting no role models out of you. Yes, it is. No, it is. That's not true. No, it is. I disagree. No, it is. I got a few other J. Cole records that no hands is not just getting the fuck out of you. Left field, right field, center field.
Starting point is 02:04:15 No hands ain't even the Wale joint that I'm afraid of in this matchup. I'm just telling you when it gets down to the end and i'm playing my banger there's other ones i'm just saying that one there he can't there's nothing in his catalog no hands is one of my favorite records i need to see bds on power trip i don't i think i think y'all judge some of j cole's music off the impact that it had in your small circle whenever this music came out. But as far as metrics, J. Cole has records that have the numbers to support it winning in a verse. Now, it's not all about that. I get it.
Starting point is 02:04:56 Y'all led with who has bigger records. You led with that. I said records. When I say bigger records, I'm talking about how it's going to perform.

Starting point is 02:05:48 All right. If Hit It In The Morning comes on, nobody's thinking about No Hands again. Ever again. Ever again. You are bugging, son. Ever again. You don't even got to bring that out. Stop it.
Starting point is 02:05:57 Stop it. You don't even have to bring that out. I like what Joe do. I have no idea what y'all are talking about. I like what Joe do this year, yo. I love it. If No Hands comes on and Can I Hit It In The Morning comes on, we're no longer talking about No Hands, yo.
Starting point is 02:06:09 Nigga, you put us in planes or something before you said Can I Hit It In The Morning. You out your mind, yo. I said there's a few records that I could say to get No Hands. Hit It In The Morning, don't even. Take that off the table. Why? Not versus No Hands? Oh, please.

She don't even care about you hitting it in the morning as long as you don't got no hands. I hear you. You out your mind. I hear you. I hear you. I disagree. Okay, true. Where was you when Hitting in the Morning came out?
Starting point is 02:06:32 I don't even remember. That's my point. You was hitting it in the nighttime still. I don't even remember. You was hitting it in the nighttime still. Stop it. I don't remember. Well, guess what?
Starting point is 02:06:39 We're not going to see this, but guess what? If you called Wale right now, Wale wouldn't echo your sentiment. Because that's his man, and he don't want to start nothing. All right, then you act like that's your man. If you ask him on the low behind closed doors, I'm not doing that. I'm not. I'm smoking. I can say for certainty Wale will smoke him.
Starting point is 02:06:54 I ain't got to call him and say anything. I'm not even doing that. I want to play devil's advocate. Play it. I don't care. No, because Wale my man, too. And they're going to think I'm trying to say something bad but I'm just trying to create content so I gotta play another side
Starting point is 02:07:08 call him cause look let me just ask you real quick I'm not calling him let me just ask you real quick but J. Cole ain't the name they say Wale is running from like sometimes you look forward to next week's matchup but you still got a game that night he has a matchup we waiting on
Starting point is 02:07:24 actually he got two of them But you still got a game that night. He has a matchup we waiting on. Actually, he got two of them. But, I mean, I'm trying to keep it cool. It's two matchups waiting for Wale whenever he see fit to do it. One is rather obvious. Yeah, one is obvious. And the other one's obvious too, though. And the other one, I don't... It's obvious.
Starting point is 02:07:43 Now, what you think His record is there Don't talk about Cole Talk about them Talk about niggas That are actively Looking for Wale To say I accept And there's two of them
Starting point is 02:07:54 One of them is Going to be a long night The other one Will make for a great battle But one of them Will be a long night Alright the first one You think is a great battle
Starting point is 02:08:01 And that other one That's going to be a long night It'll be interesting But it's going to be a long night. It'll be interesting, but it's going to be a long night. Which one's the long night? That's a long night. You better believe it. That's a long night. You better shut up.
Starting point is 02:08:15 You got a pack of lunch? You better shut up. The other one, I don't think is going to be. No, no, no. It'll just be interesting. That'll be interesting. The other one will be fun to watch. I think he gets the other nigga up out of here, too.
Starting point is 02:08:23 And that's Sean. It's fine. We can say that. I ain't saying the other one. Oh, no, no. Yeah, yeah. But it'll be good to watch. And that's Sean. It's fine. We can say that. I ain't saying the other one. Oh, no, no. But it'll be good to watch. You think Wale gets to be Sean? Yes.
Starting point is 02:08:31 Okay. I love that, though. I love that matchup. I like it. That's a good matchup. Love it. That other one, though. He a long night for a lot of people.
Starting point is 02:08:42 He a long night for a lot of people on the low. He really is. What's the other one, man? It's Meek. It's Meek. Oh, okay. I don't know, though. He might take Meek in the deep water.
Starting point is 02:08:51 He can go in the deep water, though. He can go out there. See, why I like that is whatever... See, I think that's dope. I think Wale Meek is amazing. Let me tell you why I like that. Whatever type of record one wants to do the other one could throw it i agree you want to play over here we can play here
Starting point is 02:09:10 i got them there too oh you want to go to girl records cool i got them too oh you want to go to an anthem record i got that too true oh you want to go to a deep little introspect whatever you want i got that too you want to get into your feature bag I'm in here with you too And yo dawg Meek Meek would propose A long night for a lot Of niggas He would
Starting point is 02:09:29 Yes he would Meek for me Has the best rap song Of last decade What's that Something The intro Intro
Starting point is 02:09:35 Dreams and Nightmares Like I know When it first came out A lot of people Didn't wanna We didn't wanna put it In a conversation With our classic intros It hurt No it's there now yes it might be in my mind yo i don't think it's blasphemous to
Starting point is 02:09:51 say okay it's uh it could be it could be one i disagree at this point it could no it could be said it could be said right yeah it could be said it's safe to say you can say it that's the greatest intro that's the greatest rap intro of all time at this point. You can say that. It's cool. The argument should be lower now than when you first said that. It was like the dynasty. X. I was on the X bandwagon.
Starting point is 02:10:16 Me too. That X. Remember, yo, I DJ battled. That was my intro record. When we used to do our DJ battles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:24 Yo, greatest intro will always be like one of those who's your greatest MC conversation. when we do our DJ battle yeah yeah yeah yo greatest intro will always be like one of those who's your greatest MC conversation yeah but I don't know man not only that
Starting point is 02:10:32 I think he kind of ran away with it too yeah cause none of the other intros are actual like hit songs outside in that manner Meek can pop up anywhere
Starting point is 02:10:42 no not a hit song like nowhere near no no no I'm just saying I think his intros be clever and lyrically amazing
Starting point is 02:10:51 but that shit right there but Meek has gotten to the point where if he pop up on a stage anywhere that's what you wanna hear and everyone's gonna say
Starting point is 02:11:00 and everybody's gonna and when he break down and the beat switch come in he gonna have about four joints that you could go to Antarctica and niggas going to know word for word. But that intro. Igloo to stand on. As a performer, would you want to go on in front of Dreams and Nightmares or right behind it? Before.

The Highs and Lows. The highs and the lows The highs and the lows
Starting point is 02:23:32 I'm an emotional rollercoaster With highs so high I could put Bobo on a poster But when the bread get low like four loaves and a toaster Holder's shoulders can't get colder Ten toes in Nova Scotia some days I hold a grudge some days I hold a ghost some days I just ghost some days I'm supposed to the crib feel like a gunfight but them strollers that's the whole stuff we can make amends over old memes and mimosas my mama know I ain't make my bed but I'ma lay in it whether it's sandpaper, suede linen, whether I'm alone A Creole lady mama laid in it, the same pajamas I was afraid in
