I judge the adults that don't have
So how do they get paid if you don't work?
Well that's one way to interpret my question
That's not quite what I was asking
I wasn't saying why you work
As in you should stop working
I'm saying
Why you still work
As if
I guess the same thing you said to me not too long ago
If you had another you to just go and do all that shit
Why you still gotta be in there putting the molding up and doing this and that?
Certain shit.
I don't do as much as I used to.
You wouldn't have done it right?
You probably also enjoy it to some degree.
Certain shit is personal.
Yeah, we're okay.
No, but again, yeah, you just got to do certain shit.
You don't want nobody else in Miss Jackson's kitchen Fixing her shit

Certain shit you just
Gotta do yourself

They got like whole warehouses
where they just laying
blueprints and
building pretty dope houses
what are they doing though
they can't do the entrance
that's what I said
until they showed the inside of the house
and the robot did all of it
I'm sure they had somebody go in there and put a hammer
to something but the bottom line is that whole shit was cement and the robot did all of it. I'm sure they had somebody go in there and put a hammer to something. But the bottom line is that whole shit was cement and a robot did it all.
And now?
So I'm asking you.
Oh, is he about to find it?
What am I doing?
I'm going to be a professional.
I'm asking you, what are you going to do in that field when the robots take over like they eventually will?
The same thing I came in here and asked about the truck drivers about two years ago with the autonomous driving and what some of them would do

Mic check 1, 2, two, one, two.
Hope everybody's feeling good, feeling great.
Ay.
I was outside for this one.
This music.
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?
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
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
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.
Men don't show that, yo.
Yo, I've had niggas calling my phone.
Why does the size of the baby's dick matter, yo?
What the fuck is he talking about, yo?
Yo, you don't remember that?
No.
No.
No, I don't remember that one.
I was inside.
I missed that. I was very inside. No, I don't remember that one. I was inside. I missed that.
I was very inside.
It was Damon Wayans.
But yo,
nah, men don't show that.
Men be going through it on the breakups.
You don't know.
Yo,
yo,
yo, stop it, yo.
Men are mad emotional.
Men are mad emotional.
Yeah, but niggas don't show it.
No.
Nah, they do,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
to her as a woman.
Your emotions
are on your sleeve.
That's vulnerable.
No dude is coming.
Think about that.
And,
nigga,
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.
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.
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
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
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
Where a nigga be like
Yo I love you dog
You'll just tell your man
Like yo I love you dog That's something that nigga be like, yo, I love you, dog. 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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
I'm talking about a man could see another dude.
Uh-huh.
My man is killing it.
Yeah.
Car dope.
Haircut dope.
Clothes dope.
Uh-huh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
Niggas ain't just out here like, yo,

Let's get to the nitty gritty of things.
The nit in the grit.
Did you guys watch the awards ceremony this weekend?
BET Awards?
I did.
I did.
I watched it. I did.
I did say before,. I watched it.
I did say before, you know, part of, we got to support our own.
You know, we complain about what these other award shows lack when it comes to representing us and stuff.
So I figured, you know, when BET puts their- Put your money where your mouth is.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So I locked in.
I watched from the red carpet all the way to the end.
Who had the best fit?
I didn't see the red carpet all the way to the end. Who had the best fit? I didn't see the red carpet.
I got there as soon as the shit kicked off.
It was all right.
I like the opening with Lizzo, too, by the way.
Lizzo's winning me over on the low.
I think I might be this close to you.
I knew you'd come around in a thick side of things.
I knew you'd be down with us one day.
No, I'm not.
I'm not down with y'all at all in that sense.
Nah.
No, y'all got that.
Y'all can have that.
Oh.

I'm going to keep joining Hives.
I want to be a fan of everybody that's dope.
Oh, that boy getting good.

That was quick, too.
Potty or training.
Yo.
That was dope.
You got jabbed back fast.
No, you're getting pretty good.
But no, no.
I mean, I have my takeaways that I wasn't really too fond of, but.
With anything. Yeah, but... With anything?
Yeah, that's with anything.
Sure.
That's with anything.
I like that they got the Gospel Award out the way nice and early.
I felt like they heard my complaints over the years.
I like the Diddy tribute.
I liked...
I didn't like the way they hyped that Wayne is going to tear it up and he came out and did like a cameo feature verse and was gone before you could blink.
Marketing, Nick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It worked.
Yeah.
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, it's marketing.
Speaking of marketing, I told you boys when Brandy first recorded that shit what to do with it.
And they did it.
They did it.
She bodied it.
That was fire. She bodied it. Absolutely. I liked it. That was fire it. They did it. She bodied it. That was fire.
Absolutely.
I liked it.
That was fire.
Don't be surprised.
And she put the
added hook shit on it.
Don't be surprised
when the deluxe drops
and that's a new version.
Nah, that's gonna be on there.
That's gonna be on there.
She shocked me.
When that shit lifted up
I was like, oh shit.
Nah, the shock was Mariah.

Get Mariah out of the house.
After what Nick told us
To see that

Mariah was there

and proud of her
and I knew the records
and you know what I think?
The last time she came, remember she said when she came,
she said they was killing her based on her performance.
And she was like, dog, that was my first performance ever.
You could see that they put mad effort into her having a pretty good stage show.
And she took it, you know, like, I like that.
I heard your critiques.
And when I come back, I'm going to try to be know like I like that When I heard your critiques And when I come back I'm gonna try to be better

I just got to say that.
Sorry.
Lord have mercy, boy.
That cameraman was doing his job.
My nigga just kept showing her
I'm sure she looked great
I was laughing too hard
Cause of course she came on to a poem
She just can't never get the song going

which I thought about
Ye popping out
and his
going off teleprompter speech
I know he was hot as hell
in that mask
you can see him
breathing through that shit
no you can hear him
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,
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
He made it
Okay for us to be us
In the boardroom
I could go in
I could go in them rooms
With some jeans on
You know what I'm saying
With a leather coat on
Or whatever the case may be
And I could talk my shit
And I could leave
I don't have to necessarily
Conform to
Coming in here with a suit on
To be at a board meeting
That was true
i think it was dope like without puffs there's no qc you know i'm saying there's no uh baby and
slim you gotta see pete rocking him getting into it because he called by brown the original chocolate
boy wonder he lying i i saw him i didn't see that in fun i hope i saw him huh in fun i hope
i don't think he was that happy but i think he got the wrong i think someone uh told him that
he called himself chocolate boy wonder which i can see why you might have a little bit of
disagreement with that i'm shutting up but i mean if you have the name trademarked, like you said he did,
then why do I need
to go off?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Like, just to check.
Yeah, just to see.
A little pivot.
It's still, I like it still.
Nah, he look like he giving him some good talking to.
Affirm talking to.
Oh, that's what it is.
Jaw lop.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
Shout to him.
What else?
What else?
What else?
Anything more from the awards?
Winners?
Losers?
Does it matter?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
but I'm excited
you think that she's gonna drop an album
or singles
more singles
more singles
more singles
me?
yeah
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.
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.
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.
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?
Huh?
WAP.
WAP.
Yeah.
I already got those.
So this is technically my third record.
And Money,
right?
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,
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.
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.
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
expensive
yes
I mean just the
picture alone
that song looks like
that was an expensive
shoot
that song looks like
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I said I'm coming.

And I'm not half
Cardi and economics
Economics
For ish
You know he's economics high
No
I don't know what you're talking about
But keep going
Come on what else
Yo I almost started to get
My investigative cape out.
Y'all make me mad when y'all talk bad about people I like.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anyway.
So Chris
had disappointing numbers?
60 to 70?
That seems low.
Seems low to me.
Seems low.
Seems low to me.
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
which was Indigo
ah that's cheating
it is
you gotta skip that one
no guidance
and Heartbreak
I think had
maybe
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
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not you complaining,
but they're raising gas.
Yeah.
No niggas complaining.
They're raising regular
fucking supermarket produce.
Everything.
Toilet tissue.
Everything.
Y'all thought it was just
oxtail
yeah but
y'all thought
I can't
because
these niggas
majority of them
are streaming now
they still paying
they little $9.99
and playing these albums
the issue with
the Chris project
is
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
is everywhere.
That shit going crazy.
That record?
Yeah.
Shit going crazy everywhere.
Mm-hmm.
So yeah,
that's kind of,
that does play
a major
major major part
in these artist numbers
when
you're not highlighted
and that was our
independent thing again
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
control
the media
seven
that's crazy bro
the information
that we all
there's seven
entities that own
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.
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,
yo,
I had to get my air
in my mama name.
Yo,
you know how they sell that shit there?
What?
Air.
No bullshit.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
never discussing
billboard again
look what they're doing
to water
great spot
y'all gotta watch
the South Park special
the streaming wars
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
other entities
so
this is one
where California
has proposed
did it go through
yeah it looks like
it went through
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?
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.
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.
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.

on a morning drive saying.
Ain't that when y'all did the Smackfest shit?
Yes.
Yes.
Trying to sell some tickets.
I thought it was a grand idea.
And now it's a whole league.
Wait, then I was there for all that FCC shit when something happened.
I don't even remember because my memory is bad.
But that's when the delay was introduced.
And they came to us because they were slapping these radio stations.
That fine was like quarter milli for one slip up.
For one slip up.
So you put the delay.
Yeah, man.
It was good to watch all that stuff.
That means people out there that despise me that I gave their start to,
like, come on, man.
Don't get me into talking shit.
Oh, man, but anyway.
I got to scratch.
Who the fuck going to scratch my back for me?
You'll be patting yourself.
Who going to pat it for me?
Patty cake.
Yo, hey, your 30s is for friends.
What's your 40s for?
Your 20s is for the wild fuck side of you.
What's the 40s?
Your 40s is for the elevated side of you.
Ah.
See, that's why I'm doing it.
Your 40s is for the elevated side of you.
That's why I'm doing it.
Your 40s is when you should be taking all of that fuck shit from your 20s that we harken
back to as old head dudes and all of the mistakes from your 20s that we harken back to as old head dudes.
And all of the mistakes from your 30s when you thought you were smart, but there were some more tricks down the road.
Then you get to close to around 36, 37, 38.
And that's why I love talking to niggas like Corey and niggas that's like 50 and 50 plus. Even in the industry, watching the 50 plus niggas.
Because damn, y'all know what that's like 50 and 50 plus. Even in the industry, watching the 50 plus niggas. Because damn, y'all know what that's like.
Like each decade is a whole new turn and curve of shit going on that you need.
Now we was just talking about needing animals.
Like we're going to need each other at some point to say, hey, this was going on.
True story.
This is why the relationship between father and son is so.
Now I'm on a rant.
But that's why that's so important.
That is.
The funneling of information.

Greatest concern.

Fam.
There's a bunch of concerns.
Yeah, what are y'all talking about?
She had a client list.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, I mean,
don't you think if she would have been willing to work,
she'd have gave some of that shit up by now?
No?
The people that she was going to give it up on are the people that put her in jail.
No.
She's 60, yo.
No, she got a list.
She's 60.
She got a list.
Back to women and what they've had to mask.
She's 60.
She's masking it.
I'm so mad we had to talk without a woman present.
They're going to kick our ass.

Of course
It's fine
Yo um
I'm gonna let one of y'all talk first

What is going on in here?
He was salanimous
What is happening?
That's what I'm saying
She ain't snitch
That's kind of what I'm saying
Like she didn't
But my conspiracy theory brain
Would be like yo
Yo the dude snitch more
than the girls, yo.
Yeah, chicks stand up.
Oh, yeah.
Niggas real tall.
Chicks stand up, yo.
Yeah.
Yo, chicks be...
Chicks more thorough

Yo, get to it faster.
Chicks be thorough, yo.
You know why women...
Chicks will get that bell money.
Chicks will...
Yo, chicks...
Yo, chicks be thorough, yo.
You know why the women are funny?
The artists, the musicians.
See how quiet all the R&B women have been while the dudes been hanging themselves?
You don't notice that they extra quiet?
While the dudes is just not hitting chords.
They all came out.
Not hitting notes.
They all drop.
All right.
The dudes getting their ass kicked
they tried to hang me
when I said it
but god damn it
anyway
they hang me for everything
she ain't snitch yo
alright
I wanna see
I hope she's heavily
protected and guarded
in there
I get what you're saying
I get what you're saying I get what you're saying
but I think
the threat of that
happening
they still trying to get me
to believe Sandra Bland
self-transitioned
with a plastic bag
is that the
the thing
I didn't even hear that
that's crazy
what did you hear?
It was
Like she just
Popped up
Finita
It's a different conversation
It was cool
But
Ghislaine
I don't think she'll be in jail long
I don't have nothing on this
What you think?
I'm done
We can move it
Money talks man
Not just Relationships talk And you move it. Money talks, man.
Not just money.
Relationships talk.
And you held it down.
And you held it down.
And you held it down.
You held it down. And the niggas that are in power.
Know that you held it down.
Know that you held it down.
And they're going to do everything and move every mountain they can to get you home.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
I mean
get the shit off
but
I remember how
the first couple
police shootings
unarmed black people
made me feel
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
yeah
they don't even
make the news
we don't hear about it
it's not true
please don't kill me but it's regular it's not true please don't
it's almost like
this is regular shit now
it is
so when you see it
it's just like
damn another one
alright
oh damn she bad
double tap
yep
that's how it goes
Sean King

We made it all the way to the horn section, god damn it.
Hey, man.
They'll unpack it.
Yeah.
They are the unpackers.
Not certain if this is true, but I saw it floating around.
And it's Kyrie.
It's New Jersey, so I like it.
I like it. 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.
I like it.
That was my man Kobe

I was laughing
myself all weekend

was Kobe's
at least one of them
was Kobe's
I was laughing all weekend
when the reports
were coming out
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.
That was some weird shit. But he stayed.
I'd agree.
I don't know that.
He opted in.
He opted in. That don't know that I don't know I mean he opted in He opted in
That don't mean he's staying
That don't mean he's staying
Okay
I would opt in too
At 36.7 million dollars
Russell opted in
For 47 million dollars
I'm staying
I'm staying
I'll stay for the 47
Y'all don't want me
Y'all figure it out
Y'all figure it out
John Wall stayed
But I'm getting mine
No he didn't
No
No no no
He opted in.
They paid him or bought him out.
But he had an option.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah, no.
He picked that up.
Now y'all figure it out.
Now y'all figure it out.
Come on.
Settle out of this.
I can go over here with Paul George and have fun with these young boys over here.
Not mentoring niggas.
Get paid, young nigga.
Get paid.
That's all I got to say.
How much they gave him at the Clippers?
Do you know?
We don't know.
I don't know.
Don't know.
Don't know the ballpark.
That money, I ain't mad.
We still sitting here clearing money for Jalen Brunson.
Y'all could have got wall. Y'all could've got a wall.
Y'all could've got a wall.
Ooh, I won't mind.
No, he's a good player.
I won't mind.
He's a good player.
Y'all max out RJ Barrett on the extension?
Max what?
I don't know about max.
You said what?
Do you max out RJ Barrett on his extension that he's eligible for?
I don't think so.
Yeah, man.
You crazy nigga.
I like R.J. Barrett.
He's a good basketball player.
He's not a max player.
He's not a max player.
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.
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.
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.
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
That y'all haven't retained
Any draft pick
Since Charlie Ward
And he's young
His upside is still there
Yeah he's getting better
The Knicks are seeing things
Where they'll trade somebody
Prematurely
And they go to another team
And go ape shit.
That's true.
That's happened a lot.
You got to keep him.
How old is he?
23?
He's young.
Yeah, he's a kid.
He did one year or two in college.
I think it was just one.
One could be wrong about that.
Yeah.
22 years old.
Yeah, because it was him and Zion and Reddish in the same class.
Got to keep him.
And all left. He'll be topping his young. Qudish in the same class. Got to keep him. And all left.
Obi Toppin is young.
Quigley is young.
You got to keep him.
You got to.
Yeah.
What do y'all think about the upcoming fight between Adrian Peterson and Le'Veon Bell?
Only the important stuff we get to here on the JVP.

After my verses, after this last verses take from me,
I feel like I need to take breaks from predictions.
For real, because my stupid ass came in here and said,
Omarion versus Trey Songz would be something good to see.
Yo, that has baffled me this whole
weekend that I said that.
Because now that you've seen it,
could you imagine?
Apollo Creed, Dolph Lundgren. I said it.
Yeah, man.
That would have been a murder.
I think there's been a murder.
That would have been a murder.

they weren't counting back
all the old episodes
they didn't give me examples
they just said that
I've been wrong about
a bunch of them
oh they'll give you examples
don't worry
I've been right about
a lot of them too
I got mine figured out
they scream out my failures
and whisper my accomplishments I've been right about a few of them too god I got mine figured out. 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Ask him about me
over there.
Yeah,
I watched this guy
tear his ACL
and come back in a month.
Yeah,
a couple times.
Genetics.
Niggas say,
yo,
my father's 50-something
years old.
He still got abs.
Your father might not
Handle knuckle game though
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think that's a bit harsh.
No.
You got to pay?
Five grand?
No, because what if the nigga don't pay it
No you out the league
You out
Flat out
You just out
You gotta be honest
It's not harsh to me
Five grand or something
It's not harsh to me at all
A harsh ass financial penalty
I'm gonna call our
Call our
Commissioner
Call anybody
I'm calling the commissioner
I'm not mad at that
Hello sir Oh shit manili this
is kaiser on the other line i'll call him back manili this is joe budden i'm live on the air
quick question for you yes sir when we had that when we had our trophy dinner and y'all came up
with that rule about if somebody don't set their lineup for a week, y'all kick them out the league. What was the
vote on that? Is that staying?
It wasn't a
kick out. You had a warning.
And after your warning, if you
continue your delinquency,
you're getting the fuck out.
I agree with you.
And that's in.
That's it. That's the answer.
Yes, sir.
Oh, shit.
This is Kai's.
Who do you think it was?
Oh, I thought I answered for...
I called Manili when you didn't answer.
I figured you were on a yacht somewhere with baby face.
No, no.
With Diddy.
With Diddy.
You with Diddy?
No, I'm joking.
It was a joke.
Oh, okay, okay.
How you doing? I'm good'm good brother what are you doing

Shout out to Khaaz.
Nigga had the number of days to 86 days.
Yeah, he would tell me if it was.
Four hours.
You see that, though?
He would tell me if it was a delay.
No, they serious.
No, that's a serious league.
It is.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
And
And
Off that
I think it's definitely
Are you gonna keep
Feeding them bread
Yeah
This is the worst
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
and do something about it
they will
what they gonna do
nothing
what Airbnb gonna do
yeah
uh oh
can't spell capital-ish
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
Here you go, Greg
We selling tickets, cabanas
Nigga, we made that
Hookah
Dang, you gonna sign something to say that you're not.
Margaritas.
Some of them selling some.
Yeah, you know.
And then you're going to get sued.
I'm just saying.
Pizza, selling pizza.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Hey.
Pushing P.
Soda Slice, all right.
They pushing P.
Yeah.
You just got to bring your own Roni.
Got you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you. I'm following. Yes I'm with you I'm with you I'm following
Yes you
This is the man
I'm following my nigga
What else is important?
Anything?
Anything?
Oh y'all had some hot takes
That I think y'all scared
To bring to the air
Who did what?
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I've seen what No Hands do. In Greenhouse. in greenhouse anywhere y'all wasn't there I was there
anywhere I was there shut up and that shit would come on and niggas would lose their section he
was on the dance floor oh damn so you was in the you was on the floor I'm not a greenhouse
I was looking at it on the dance floor table 13 ice
every Tuesday Thursday table 13 I saw you by the bar in the line she was over there too Issh on the dance floor. Table 13, Ice. Woo! Tell me that. Every day. Issh was on the dance floor.
Every Tuesday, Thursday,
table 13.
I saw you by the bar
in the line.
She was over there, too.
And it wasn't no line.
I don't know who was over there.
I was in the section,
you know.
Ice.
Sam, I hear you.
Saturday was table 13.
It was so easy
to poke at Issh, yo.
Tell the nigga again.
What he gets pride for about?
A word.
A table.
You know.
A table.
You know. He had a section for about? A table. You know. A table. You know.
He had a section.
It was table 13.
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.
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.
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 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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Yes he would
Meek for me
Has the best rap song
Of last decade
What's that
Something
The intro
Intro
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
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.
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.
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
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
no
not a hit song
like nowhere near
no no no
I'm just saying
I think his intros be
clever and lyrically
amazing
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
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.
Before.
Definitely before.
I'm not coming on stage after that.
It depends on who I am.
No, I'm cool.

Honesty

But they're okay with being number two
Drifting us apart
I ain't did nothing wrong yet
I'm tempted when you're gone, cause I don't do well alone
They want me more than ever now, and I'm scared that I want them too
I'm all in, but I'm just a man with flaws
When the song in my options come calling
She stop it, I'm trying

When you're not with me it's hard because it's lonely
Honesty, I told them I'm in love with you
But they're okay with being number two Don't wanna do you wrong, but it's not helping
Loving through a phone, one part connection
If I share my love would I regret it? If you never know it's still a question
Don't go too far for too long, I'm too on Don't go too far for too long, I move on Now they know my name I see you callin' Don't see you often
It's hard, but I'm tryna be I'm all in, but I'm just a man
With flaws when the song in My options come callin'
Just I'll be, I'm tryin' All that I can be for you
When you're not with me it's hard because it's only honesty
I told them I'm in love with you But they're okay with being over you

Let's go
Oh yeah Yo, since my DOB, they knew I'd be a menace
Believe in me, threw on my shades and SOX hat
Back on my Eazy-E, I hit my number every time
And I'm rappin' on PEDs, make millions off MP3s
Did that with a GD, you didn't fuck the boy
Your handout just back to your EBT Top down on the interstate, make the back of the GT bleed Made millions off MP3s, did that with a GD You didn't fuck up all your handouts, just
back to your EBT Top down on the interstate, make the back
of the GT bleed You never really did shit, so your story's
an easy read I'm sharp as ever, and get to the Benjamins
like Embiid I'm a true boss, blue boss, stonkin' too low
Snoop Hall's full of old nigga bangin' Send em, knock your bitch ass roof off
Got these fools sick, makin' it hard to ditch that fluke off
I'm recharged again
Couple of mil to get back Futures, slatters paint a picture
Shipping looking blurry on your end The fuck I'm hanging with you
You been seeking strangers for attention Don't F-ing to get you
Winning to do magic Kill your haters with the same elixir
Bankroll on this motherfucker nigga Nigga add it to my ledger
I'm back to dropping another classic on you And we all know what I'm repping
Southside is the section Learn to keep a low mind
You're only if you don't want no connection, dog
Imagine how I'm steppin' Loyal to my family
Every hour, minute, second, nigga Add it to my legend
Came along, you leave alone I had to learn my lesson
Yeah, you already know when they cut the pro twos on
I slaughter any production, I gotta lay vocals on
Them old niggas didn't embrace a nigga with open arms
Fuck them niggas, they broken, I'm only focused on the baggers
Ask my young boy, what you smoking on?
He said, this just a pack of a dead odd
The back of your head dropped when his Mac, when his lead popped
Made a couple million dollars from rappin'
and fast watch Like we actually still back as I'm rappin'
on rap blocks We just droppin' back to back and we back
for your head top, nigga When I'm on Dykeman, bitches call them machine
Big Papi and not the guy that bat for the Red Sox
If you diss me in your song, you think I'm bout to respond
With a verse, naw, I'll get you back with a head shot
Look, the comparisons is usually not wise
If you didn't cop pies, two of your top five is a shame
Nigga, add it to my ledger I'm back to dropping another classic on you
We all know what I'm reppin' Southside is the section
Learn to keep it low Mind you only if you want my new connections
Dog, imagine how I'm steppin' Loyal to my family, every hour, minute, second
Add it to my ledger
Came alone, you leave alone, I had to learn my lesson
God gave me the gift of gas, flick took my way on a polygraph
I'm in my ketchup body bag, skin strong as Bacardi glass
Play around, everyone gon' leave out with somethin' like party bags
Pricey army tags, weed hittin' off a Ferrari dash
Just a sorry class, ten toes watchin' the market crash
Want no target slash, don't stick around with no parking pass
Sticky parts to hash, brown bag keys and apartment stash
Sony right eye shine bright, made it out of a dogger pass
Crack the windows, let the haters in, always been superstitious
Ain't no way around it, PTSD from the cool conditions
Everything is independent, dropping on due permission
Probably learn a thing or two if you listen, my nigga
Your man the soldier, he'll holler back when the dancing's over
Two middle fingers put fuck yous up to the cancer culture
Can't stand a vulture, it's sitting in borders of antidote, yeah
The very moment you hit, the planning's over, boy
Nigga, add it to my legend
Come back to drop another classic on you
You don't know what I'm reppin'
Southside is the section
Learn to keep it low, mind your own
If you don't want no connection, dawg
Imagine how I'm steppin'
Loyal to my family, every hour, minute, second
Add it to my ledger
Came along, you leave alone
I had to learn my lesson
Came along, you leave alone, I had to learn my lesson Dope. Yeah, nah. It's not a real dope. Breaks is in his bag, man. I'm a player friend of the show, man. We've been hard on the last couple records this gentleman dropped,
so I feel like it's only right to salute when he drops some nice shit.
This is Chance, The Highs and Lows featuring Joey Badass.
The Highs and Lows. The highs and the lows
The highs and the lows
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
I boogie manslaid, my blankets conceal my blade in it
Emotional seesaw, with two fat motherfuckers with strong knees and free fall
It's cloudy with a chance of meatballs, I check the weather
I gave all my vices a call, let's get together
To talk about the highs and lows, the ups and downs
The friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I knew ya always come around
Come around, come around, come around, come around
To work out the highs and lows, the ups and downs
No need to hide, the skies is coming down
Go and get high, I promise ya coming down
Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down
Your eyes on the road
And you feel your backs on the road
You gotta take the highs with the lows
Gotta take the highs with the lows
You're lost and you're running out of hope
Looking for the best way to cope
You know we all been there before
Gotta take the highs with the lows
I was feelin' lifeless, I had to cut my vices
Now the feelin' that I feel is priceless
And the spirit want me to be righteous
But I know I might just
Relax, get sucked in these devices
Got so used to feedback, I couldn't tell what mine says
Sometimes all the outside noise just really blinds us
Beware, believe none of what you see and half of what you hear
The best things in life, when the opposite's out of fear
I swear, I see it clear, like after the storm still
You can't stop the rain, like the loose end song
My world is broad, like James, yo, I couldn't complain
Cause even when I did, niggas really couldn't feel my pain
That's the type of shit to drive a nigga insane
Wanna be numb like your thumb back flickin' the flame
Back to square one, tryna overcome what you became
Like they was right, I guess you never gon' change
When it's hard to keep your eyes on the road
You start to feel your back on the road
You gotta take the highs with the lows
You gotta take the highs with the lows
Lost and you're running out of hope
And you're looking for the best way to go
Just know we all been there before
You gotta take the highs with the lows
To talk about the highs and lows, the ups and downs
The friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I knew you always come around Come around, come around, come around, come around As the highs and lows, Chance Rapper Featuring Joey Badass

finding good music might have came with head.
That nigga been hitting these
in Shelter Park.
Yo, head A&R is not what that is.
I'm ignoring that. A&R in the head? It's just A&R is not what that is. A&R in the head?
