Starting point is 00:28:38 An album or a mixtape But it's 20 Well not 20 songs 17, 16 songs Something like that It's full length This is 15 songs, 45 minutes of music.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Bottom goes right into P. Angels track 8 to 9. I love that. Dog. Homie, sky, yeah, me, I'm back out of chain. Took a few laughs, this part of the game. Want a bidget to my talent, this bang. I swear they was all in my name. On a tsunami, I light weight.

Angels, they pourin' up, whisperin' Breakin' out sisters and geekin' and trippin' I'm with the bad ones, the one they be trippin' Y'all niggas laughin', we laughin' right with you All the thinkin' about it is bigger picture
Starting point is 00:29:23 Once you get mad, try see where you're headed? I know he mad he found out that I hit him. Couple more baddies, that's all the more liquor. Fire. Yo. Fire. The whole shit is fire, yo. It really is. It is.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And I'm not the biggest guy. Me neither. I'm not the demo. I'm not the demo. Me either. And I don't know if it's just because we've been talking about him so much and paying so much attention to his story to hear him describe his story in the music. Hit different.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I don't think that's what it is for me. Because contrary to that, I haven't heard him talk so much. No, I'm saying the whole world has been discussing his situation for however long now. For me, that's very separate than what you're able to produce musically. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. This was make or break for him. very separate than what you're able to produce musically. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. But I think... Like, that was a make... This was make or break for him.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I'm just saying that because of the story, like, you pay more attention to what he's talking about. Yeah, that's true. Because like Park said, he's not his typical demo, but based on what he's been going through... I want to hear what you got to say. I want to hear what you got to say. I paid a little more attention to it.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And I want to see if your production and all that shit is going to sound good, because y'all were saying, y'all, it was kind of 50-50 if he was going to be able to pull the same producers and get the same quality sounds that he been had. What he proved is he didn't need them. Or he may have got them. Or he might have got them from different motherfuckers. No, I'm talking about the features. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I'm talking about the production. There's not a soul listed here. No, no. And I didn't hear not a one. I didn't hear no. And I didn't hear not a one. I didn't hear him. And I don't see him listed. That's what I meant. Like, no, I was saying he's a singles artist.
Starting point is 00:30:54 There's a lot of support. How do you show up for yourself without the Futures and the Drakes and the Thuggas? And what he proved is, no, it was me. It was me the whole time. That's really difficult to do, to show up this way and sound this good all by yourself with little to no support from your label. That was a big thing in what I was saying before, too. Like, let's see when the label decides to show up. They didn't show up at all.
Starting point is 00:31:23 He dropped bread and butter and had an album ready with whoever helped do it. I didn't see the credits. Yeah, it's still not on title for whatever reason. Maybe because it was a little bit of a surprise drop. Sometimes titles are a little bit slower to upload shit. Well, good point that you mentioned. It was shadowbanned for me too.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, I couldn't find it at first. I could not find the album. I had to go find the name of the album and type that whole thing in for it to pop out. That says something. Yeah. I didn't know that you could shadow ban an album. Oh, yeah, it happens. Anything on the internet can be shadow banned.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah, it happens frequently with artists that are questionable for whatever reason. Tory shit. Chris Brown says shit. Chris Brown shit. Chris Brown album came out. Niggas couldn't find it. Yeah, said shit. Chris Brown shit. Chris Brown album came out, niggas couldn't find it. Yeah, it happens. The last album.
Starting point is 00:32:09 It happens. And it's Chris Brown. Right. So what I'm saying is, I don't know what was spent on this project. It don't sound like the, it don't have that label sound
Starting point is 00:32:19 that should be at that label mixing and mastering sound where everything just sound the crispiest. It sound like he did this, dropped his record, dropped his album two weeks later, and he's going to see returns. Yeah. He's going to see returns. Especially if they have no big budget.
Starting point is 00:32:35 This is really good music. It is. I'm impressed, man. I really am. I'm very impressed. Gotcha. And I think that's what he needed to do. All the shit that's been around him,
Starting point is 00:32:45 all the shit he's been accused of and people saying this and that, you had to come out and deliver something that told your story and was fire. Yeah. I said he had to do something to make the label even, even trust to continue to trust and, and the fans. So now. Fans are fickle.
Starting point is 00:33:01 You can always get them. A song will get them. But you still got to deliver a product to the fans based off of what he's accused of to make them forget. Atlanta, I'm sorry, yo. I know some of y'all, y'all don't fuck with this nigga.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I don't know. I don't know what's going on out there because it's not my business. I don't live there. I don't have property there. I don't know if y'all... I don't know, but listen, man. This shit fire. Hey, to the thugs'all, I don't know, but listen, man. This shit fire.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Hey, to the thugs and criminals, I'm sorry, yo. I'm going to play this. I'm going to play this thing. Same. I'm going to play it. I'm going to play this thing.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And, and, because I was in the shower listening to this shit and then I got out the shower, I got in the car and then bread and butter came on and the flow of the album,
Starting point is 00:33:43 oh, that shit sounds, I knew what it sounded like, but in the flow of the album oh that shit sounds i knew what it sounded like but in the flow of the album boy does it sound a lot better gonna i if hey you got it yeah respect respect do you got it yo you did it i saw a lot of fans repeating the same sentiment like i don't know about all that street shit, but this shit is fire. There you go. Begs the question. And then I don't like Thug announcing his album coming. Yeah, I saw that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:14 You don't know what? Do you think he did it? You think it was intentionally to step on it? Yes. Okay. And maybe. I'm a civilian, so I don't know. it yes okay and maybe there's no there's no other reason that you do that if there's not some type of anger involved here the label the label what might be trying to play the game that's the same
Starting point is 00:34:36 no which i'm no which is peaking the interest like a word let's create an animosity we're gonna put both of these shits out so so you're going to go buy his shit, and you're going to go buy his shit to see which one sound better, and now we're going to get two sales. I'm actually, might be rolling with this one. Yeah, like, we're going to get two sales. It may be label games.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I don't care about what y'all talking about. Academics posted the comment of somebody asking Young Thug's sister if she was going to post Gunna's album or Cop the album, and her reply was, publicly, it's on his page, was, no, make sure you do it so I can eat. Now what do y'all have to say? Since y'all were all in it, that means nothing to y'all?
Starting point is 00:35:16 No. I think the label still has an agenda, which is just make both of these motherfuckers sell. So now we're going to play. Remember 50 and Kanye? Not that 50 and Kanye is in that particular scenario. I get it. But yo, we're going to create this oomph.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And now both of us are going to eat off of it. The label is going to eat either way. The label is not stepping on gun and shit with one of their own joints. They're not going to do that. Again, I'm saying that
Starting point is 00:35:42 I don't think they're stepping on it. I think they're inciting the riot Okay So now we gonna both go Buy both albums To see which one sound better Not even sound And compare them
Starting point is 00:35:50 But not even sound What's funny is to me If y'all ain't even Opened your brain To even think about Well what if this guy's upset Well I mean No we thinking about that
Starting point is 00:36:03 Okay Motherfuckers wanna hear what they both gotta say you get what I'm saying like we gonna oh what you said oh oh dang he said that
Starting point is 00:36:12 in response oh and we gonna play off it and we gonna eat that's my opinion I didn't like it I didn't like it I didn't hear any shots
Starting point is 00:36:20 and granted I only listened to it one time so I don't have a deep dive in the lyrics but I didn't hear any shots from Gunna towards Thug or any of that camp specifically I have to listen more to before I start deep diving on shots and subliminals because he did a lot of talking he did and he's internet kids
Starting point is 00:36:37 already got breakdowns running around what percentage of bars was aimed at him what percentage was about the case like They already got that going on. Like I said, I only listened to this two times, once at five in the morning when I bought it, and again when I woke up when I got in the shower. So give me a little more time. Today, I bought more albums today than I have all year. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:36:58 What else came out? Killer Mike. Oh, my Lord, yo. That killer, that Michael. He went crazy. They went crazy. That Michael project. my Lord, yo. That killer, that Michael. He went crazy. They went crazy. That Michael project. Hold up, man.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Well, not y'all. Hold up. Okay. Yeah, I can't wait to talk to him because I got questions. This album sounds very different from other people's albums of late in that it sounds like they actually fucking tried. You know what I'm saying a lot of people kind of do bare minimum shit with music and they did bare maximum max maximum with this production wise feature wise musicianship why does this drop a surprise or no he's been rolling this out for a minute okay
Starting point is 00:37:41 he's had a couple singles. This is Spaceship Views, Killing My Encouragement, T-Shane, Cash Page. Fuck a play bank, he won't make some up I put your bitch on a wave runner I was on the yacht deck, waving from it I bought these trunks in London I bought this hoodie on Fairfax, I'm all over honey Like traces of that cocaine, I'm all over money Eastside
Starting point is 00:38:17 And the spaceship blowin' my face off I don't take no days off Too many y'all niggas laid up And that's why y'all niggas laid off Nigga gave me dirt when I fell off But I ain't write no tell-all My book givin' you game, nigga Oh, come on. Come on, no ID. Oh, my God, no ID. That little... Oh, my God, yo. Oh, my man, turn this nigga off. Still blowing in the flight, nigga. Son of Atlanta, I am a product of grandma and grandma. The drunker I get and the slumber I get and you hear that real one tell me no.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Turn this nigga off. Turn this nigga the fuck off, yo. I told him yesterday. I spoke to him on air. Slaughterhouse used to be talking about features to have and when Killer Mike came up, long talks needed to be had. Like, are y'all sure y'all want to invite

Like y'all ready for all us? kill a mic yo and No ID that one Imagine being a rapper and this come on in the studio, yo. Peace out. And the spaceship blowing my face off I don't take no days off
Starting point is 00:39:31 Too many y'all niggas laid up And that's why y'all niggas laid off Killing Mike told me yesterday, and he's gonna come here and speak to us. He told me that this is undeniably one of the best, greatest albums ever made. And I'll let him come expound on that. But. This is Shed Tears, Killer Mike and Mozzy. Track two.
Starting point is 00:39:57 The features were phenomenal. Everything on this album is phenomenal. Interesting choices. Like Mozzy is an interesting choice, kind of. We love Mozzy, but Killer Mike and Mozzy wouldn't think there would be a thing. Mozzy floated. Floated. Mozzy floated, yo.
Starting point is 00:40:13 But Killer Mike knows the rappers. He does. He knows who can rap. He does. Listen to No I.D. setting the mood. Whole album executive produced by No I.D., by the way. Yes. If you're wondering why I keep bringing up him, bring him up.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Uh-oh. Ay, brother, brother, an enemy more than mothers. It's noted today's a number that life might be filled with troubles. Your troubles may come in doubles and form of your former lovers. This beat is buggin' in the background. Damn it keep gettin' harder Have mercy, every week somethin' hittin' me adversely I remember droppin' my babies off at the church nursery I remember seein' her around alone in the church service Askin' God to reveal me a plan and a higher purpose Was a boy, now I'm grown, immaturity gone Blind scheming and dreaming, that cue is gettin' your all
Starting point is 00:41:19 Ask anybody that know me, I suffered slowly for years And now I'm like Kobe waiting to give you That's for you Yo dawg Crazy yo He is Bugging In this studio
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah No they put time into this They put money into this They put effort into this Top to bottom And you can hear it And you can hear it. And you can hear it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Apple Music, you know what I mean? Nah. You want to cop that with A$AP. They showed up. Mike got, let me just read. Killing Mike. CeeLo Green, Mozzy, Young Thug, Black, Aaron Allen, Jagged Edge, Andre 3K, Ty Dolla $ign on two. He's got him on a couple, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Yeah, but he spoke to that. He said a lot of things just fell in my favor, this project. I send Ty Dolla $ign one joint. He sends me back two. I end up using them both. He said I spent a lot of money, a lot of my own money. I had to talk to my wife about it, who's a businesswoman and accountant, and she's like, what the fuck are you doing?
Starting point is 00:42:25 And I said, I'm building my art. And then I said, Jesus had to build it. Noah had an art boy, you know what I mean? He deserves this, though. He deserves to do that, because his albums have never sounded like this.
Starting point is 00:42:42 You know what I'm saying? In terms of he's got some great albums rap to me is a classic and we'll talk to him about more of that later run the jewels are both classic projects but this is like his magnum opus it feels like that it sounds like that it's titled like that it's titled like that and any and anytime you get listen i know i'm dick riding, but No I.D. is him. He is. One of my favorite No I.D. projects is with James Fauntleroy. Remember Cocaine 80s? Cocaine 80s.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I mean, and I can't find it anywhere. Because of No I.D. No I.D. is a weirdo, yo. James Fauntleroy is also like creepy. Oh yeah, he's the other weirdo. Dumb two niggas together. That music will never be anywhere. I tried to tell people about it,
Starting point is 00:43:28 and people are looking at me like I'm smoking crack. I'm like, you didn't. No, because they both too fucking artsy head at it. Artsy and with music rights. They know everything in music. No, I'm not giving you this album label. I'm not giving you this group. Jhene Aiko was in it.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Common was in it. It was so good. If I recall correctly, that was SoundCloud shit, right? Yeah. That was SoundCloud shit. It wasn Yeah. That was SoundCloud shit. It wasn't, um... Who, me? I got everything, Koke. I know you got it.

Starting point is 00:45:18 She said, anywhere love's like a lamp Anywhere love but a laugh. Anywhere loves but a laugh. Goodbye. Yeah. They put out like two projects, three projects. Yep. Short EPs. All short EPs of all original greatness.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And no idea who was him before even this. This is late. Oh, long before. All of them was before this. Yeah, no doubt. But the combo of him and James Fauntleroy was like finding hidden gold.
Starting point is 00:45:50 You know what I mean? And you can hear, like, Chris Brown when James Fauntleroy sings because Chris has literally said he's like his favorite songwriter. Like, he loves when he comes on board.
Starting point is 00:45:59 James Fauntleroy did that Justin Timberlake album with all that good Timberlake. Justified? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The 2020. The first one. What's the 2020?

I think I should never win. Can't, it never drags. We got Dave Chappelle talking on his beat. Pockets coming home from rocking 20 in the pit Trying to make a mess with baby mamas, get to know the kids And they cannot sell no marijuana, flow won't let them in

What the hell y'all waiting for? Word. It doesn't feel like we're heading into July either. It don't, yo. It really do feel like the year just started.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Outside of the weather, it just, the shit is flying, my nigga. To me. Yeah, it got some way to be. It's moving like it got some way to be. That shit crazy. Yeah, because my vacation is July, and this shit is creeping up. Yeah. Next month.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Mm-hmm. Shit is... I'm ready, though. You know, I'm a fall. Bring me the fall. I'm a fall, dude. Bring me the fall and the winter. I actually plan on kind of staying in the crib a little bit this summer.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Like, I ain't got nothing crazy going on. Send some little white kids down there to ruin Great Adventure. Niggas turn little dirty-ass kids. They got Great Adventure looking a mess. Don't you dare go there after 5 o'clock. What's wrong with you, Tom? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I've been to Great Adventure after 5 o'clock. Talking about frightening. Yeah, I was frightened. It worked. You said last year was a whole bunch of bullshit. You step foot over there if you want. There's a mess over there.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Niggas will rob you. Niggas got their guns in Great Adventure. Why do you need your gun here? It's a kid's park. Word. Oh, man. Come on, let's talk about something
Starting point is 00:50:17 where we can get these two involved. Come on, come on. Let's pass the ball over here. You know, they ain't heard no music but it be the Baker. They ain't heard nothing that came out. He ain't even heard a sleeper. What's the most important? What's the most important?
Starting point is 00:50:30 What's the most important? Come on, let's get this. I see you. That Sukiyama topic is burning a hole in you. It really is. Come on, come on, let's do it. She wanted to start a conversation. Yeah, let's get right to it. Come on, let's wake it up. Wake it up. Come on, Mel. Come on, Mel. I mean... You and MC Lyte was talking over lamb chops about this shit.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Well, no, it came up in conversation. It was like, it was a table. You know, five of us ladies were just, you know, enjoying dinner. And it came up in conversation because it's everywhere right now. What's everywhere? Okay, so Sukiana, if you're not familiar with who she is, she is. A lot of people, and this is where a lot of people are not familiar with her. I'm not with her.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Yeah. I'm not all the way familiar with her either. Same. Same Zs. Because we all tell. That's it. A little bit. So she's a rapper, but she also has an OnlyFans page.
Starting point is 00:51:17 She leads with sexuality. Apparently her OnlyFans page is pretty graphic. Did you subscribe or are you just hearing that from the curb? No, it's, it's just, it's being discussed widely everywhere. You know, you turn a lot of, and I'm going to get to that. A lot of people are justifying the things that have happened to her because of the fact that she leads with hypersexuality and that she has performed sex acts on her OnlyFans page, apparently with her boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:51:50 So she was just at some kind of event. She was sitting at a table. Little Duval was on one side. And I'm not sure who was sitting on the other. Funny Marco. And Funny Marco. Two comedians. Freaky, is it Freaky Marco?
Starting point is 00:52:01 Funny Marco. Okay, I'm trying to get everybody together, right? Okay. Is it Freaky Marco? No, it's not Freaky, is it Freaky Marco? Funny Marco. Okay, I'm trying to get everybody together, right? Is it Freaky Marco? No, it's not Freaky Marco. So, YK Osiris, he's Meek's artist, correct? We old as hell. I don't, listen, he's the doofy nigga that was running around Drake house for fucking three months
Starting point is 00:52:24 and running up on Lil Baby. Everybody said, oh, you owe me money. You owe me money. That's who I know him to be. I haven't heard any of YK Osiris's music. My son has. I have my little cousins, my girl's kids. The kids have heard his music.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I think he's an annoying little nigga who every time i hear his name is for everything outside of music right i've been off of him got it long before this so the only reason why i asked is because meek sent out a series of tweets which i will get to in a second so anyways they're at this event she's sitting in between duval and marco and yk osiris walks up to her and he grabbed he puts his hands on her shoulders and then he grabs her face and he sticks his tongue down her throat. She does not know him. Um, and she was visibly uncomfortable, but she was also, you know, giggling. She just, it was really cringy to watch this thing happen. And he did it more than once. And then he walked away and he was smirking and smiling and whatever else.
Starting point is 00:53:26 People lost their shit when they saw this. And then the second thing that happened involving Sukiana was she was on Candy's podcast, which is also a very sexually based kind of conversation that they have. And her co-host, he was body turned into Sukiana and basically just asking her like very lewd questions. I mean, it's a sex based podcast, but still it was very, you know, well, if I did this to you, you know, could I eat your pussy? And all this stuff that is just like this isn't really an interview. And then at one point Dick Size comes up. Candy says, you know, you must like 10 inches or something like that. She was like, no, I'm good with five. Five is great for me, blah, blah, blah. And her co-host pulls up a picture on his phone, we assume it's
Starting point is 00:54:15 his dick, and shows it to her. And her face is literally like, looks at the picture and then just looks away. So in these two circumstances, we saw her looking really uncomfortable, but not knowing exactly what to do in these circumstances because she's got cameras trained on her. And then this gets out into the public forum and everybody just starts discussing it. And since then, she sent out a tweet basically saying that she was afraid at that moment.
Starting point is 00:54:45 And she just didn't and she didn't know how to do and didn't know what to do and didn't know how to react. Since then, everybody's released a tweet. Y.K. Osiris has issued an apology tweet. Meek's been tweeting. Everybody's been talking about it. But the primary conversation in comment sections has been either one consent consent consent there's no discussion past that that word in that con that concept and the other half is people saying if this is how you introduce yourself to the world then you deserve what you get no that's crazy and it would amber rose piped up in this whole situation.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It was I've got a couple of the tweets here. I'll read them. This is this is Amber. Are we really going to sit back and let this happen to Sukiana? She was sexually assaulted and no one did anything. This is the entertainment business and she is an entertainer. Using her lyrics and her persona as an excuse to physically touch her and force her without her consent is absolutely disgusting. What happened to protect black women? I cried when watching that video and I'm sure a lot of women have as well. Sukiyana's exact tweet was, I am hurt and I'm scared to stand up for myself. That was the tweet that she'd issued. And apparently she's kind of deactivated or temporarily deactivated her social media accounts because of all of this stuff. Y.K. Osiris, his apology was. Mel, Mel, Mel, enough. Enough with your phone. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:56:19 I'm on the side of consent is consent, like just taking somebody's lyrics or, you know, what she does on her OnlyFans page, you know, it's a form of entertainment. Whether we morally agree with it or not, walking up to a woman, grabbing her face and sticking your tongue down her throat, that is sexual assault. That's disgusting. It's gross. Yeah, it's really gross. I'm with you on it. And there was, I mean, there was a lot of women saying the same thing, you know, of how you introduce yourself to the world is how they're going to treat you and that sort of thing. And it's like, it's just, it kind of blows my mind in 2023, even after hashtag Me Too and everything else. And just like everybody's changing or elevated concept as to understanding what consent actually means and also understanding that sex work is a paid profession.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Whether you agree with it or not morally or whatever the case is, it is a paid profession. It does not mean that you can walk up to this person and act like they're a fucking fire hydrant and piss on them. You know what I mean? So it was kind of difficult to watch. And I know exactly what she meant by saying I was afraid and I don't know how to stand up for myself because these are the kinds of things, you know, not to that extent, but that people would try with me. And all I did was do music videos, but you'd swear the way that I was treated back then, I was doing the exact same thing that she was, you know what I mean? It's just like the, the idea of, um, you know, what's respectability
Starting point is 00:57:57 politics and what's considered moral and amoral. It's that's what the conversation is really about. And also what was disturbing was to see that no man came to her rescue during that whole situation. No one said, Hey, yo, yo, chill, get off or what is your problem? No one did anything. They all laughed. And it's like, there's a saying that every woman knows a woman who's been sexually assaulted, but no man knows a rapist. I've never heard that. I've never heard that saying. Because it's something that women know. Well, how would we know?
Starting point is 00:58:37 Yeah, I've never heard that. That's very much a gotcha. To your particular point, I saw it. And from initially seeing it, I thought they knew each other. Right. So I could see how Deval or Marco wouldn't. Because from the looks of it, it looked like they knew each other. Once I read a little bit more and delved a little bit deeper, it was like, oh, wow, my man is bugging out.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, I'm not going to absolutely kill Marco and Deval. Yeah, because it looked, and she was smiling. Like, when he walked away, it was a nervous, like, a smile. She should have punched him in his face. I can't speak to that because there are many different coping mechanisms in that moment for the person. No, that's what I'm saying. She looked scared.
Starting point is 00:59:19 We can't watch and say what somebody should do. She ran underneath the table. She damn near was stuffing herself under a table. She should have punched him in the face. So if you freeze in that moment, or if you laugh to try to play it off, to try to say not only your face, but his face as well.
Starting point is 00:59:35 We are a press event. It's famous people around. It's nothing but cameras in front of me. I'm a new aspiring act. I got some heat out there.'re somebody now i gotta think about who's backing you is it gonna hold is it gonna put a halt or hindrance to my career how she reacted in that moment no i don't want to know i wasn't knocking her reaction i wasn't knocking i know you're talking about the laugh the laugh and what it said it was a nervous laughter it wasn't a
Starting point is 01:00:02 ha ha ha that's my boy laughter but if you are a man in that moment. You don't know if he knows. If you're a man right there, you assume that they fucked. Yeah. You assume that they fucked. You do. And when she says, because she did verbally say, stop. If you're an onlooker, maybe you thinking that she don't want that in the public in front of you.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Y'all fucked and she don't want y'all. you like that no more you know what i mean something to that effect so i'm not going to totally go in on on them too uh was there more that should have been done by them i think absolutely whack 100 is already on the internet calling them all types of pussy ass buster ass niggas calling who uh funny marco and devol for for them just sitting there but why am I I'm not gonna talk about them When I'm on Doofy Doo Yeah
Starting point is 01:00:48 I'm on him still It's him Yeah Yeah he He issued an apology It kind of sounds like A publicist wrote it I want to read the meek tweets
Starting point is 01:00:57 Dog it's no apology That you can really give though In my opinion That it suffices You walked up to a stranger And started kissing her. Mm-hmm. What?
Starting point is 01:01:08 Yeah. Well, you do need to apologize. I know, I'm saying, but there's nothing that you can say. I don't care what your publicist writes. That's going to justify that. But you go.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Meek says, y'all drawing a big line between men and women nowadays on social. It's getting bad in the black community. All this internet, superficial shaming,
Starting point is 01:01:24 judging, gaslighting only hurt us people. And it's a lot of people who need strength, especially young black men. He might got a rumble, Suki brother, anything, but this same internet tear each other down stuff, Suki can get what she wants. She feels violated, but let me mind my business. And protect Suki. Osiris, you a DH, a dickhead. Go back to church. Stop following the heathens. That was a weird hill to die on.
Starting point is 01:01:55 That was not his first tweet, though. Yeah, he tweeted more. Yeah, his first tweet was way more sympathetic for YK Osiris in the vein of like... There's something like, please don't kill him. Yeah, please don't. He made a mistake or something. Exactly. Unfortunately, this is part of why Meek is my favorite tweeter of all time.
Starting point is 01:02:13 He's really tone deaf. He's really, really tone deaf sometimes. Yeah. This wasn't the right tweet. No, it wasn't. This wasn't the right message. No, it wasn't. It was terrible messaging.
Starting point is 01:02:26 And it just, there is no tearing down of like black men and women in this particular subject. What we witnessed, that was clearly a sexual assault. It was. Call a spade a spade. It was unwanted physical sexual contact from a total fucking stranger in front of a whole audience and now the world has seen it and now they're i think there is a tear down black men and women subplot in here i just don't think now's the time to address it yeah i don't think it's applicable here yeah i don't think this is yeah i don't think outside looking in i don't think
Starting point is 01:03:01 this is tearing down black men i think this is tearing down a black man that did something foul. Yeah. I think you got to draw the line. Like, sometimes there is an agenda. Or sometimes there's a broader conversation. But for black men, I think sometimes you got to kind of start putting your foot in some of these young niggas' asses when they do dumb shit. Like, that's the real accountability piece. That's the real black men putting on for black men if
Starting point is 01:03:26 we want to talk about John Morant or if we want to talk about Joaquin Osiris I think sometimes the black men need to put their foot in these young niggas asses whether private or in public they do need a foot in their ass whether verbally or physically because that's the real accountability piece you know I was I've written something down and it kind of applies to this like you know we don't like to let and I'm not calling anybody in this situation an idol but just for the sake of conversation we don't like to let our idols go down we lean too much into you know what I'd written we lean too much into how they're being treated versus the actual act itself, not being, not separating the act from the person. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:04:08 We do that on a lot of shit. Yeah. We do. And unfortunately, this is the broader conversation. We do that with race issues. We do that with gender issues. We do that with all of that shit.
Starting point is 01:04:20 And sometimes, some of these women be wrong. Sometimes, some of these races be wrong or these religions be wrong and we and we kind of conflate the issues and I don't think that's a good thing like your OGs need to put their foot in your ass yeah yeah it was I understand that you could reason you know hey we don't know the situation between the two but perhaps a different you know scenario you err on the side of caution and be like hey you guys know each other is this
Starting point is 01:04:54 cool is it a lot oh you know it's you know it's in that moment you want to know what's interesting is when I did the primetime special with Light and Angie Martinez and June Ambrose and Sherry and Lola, the last question that was posed to us that Angie kind of threw up in the air for us to answer, and all of us really had no answer, was what can men do, you know, in hip-hop to support and or protect women. You know what I mean? Because we started talking about how women have kind of banded together and supported each other's careers to uplift, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:05:33 We started thinking about how can men be of more support or whatever the case is. And it was interesting. We really just collectively didn't really have an answer. And I feel like it's an answer that can only be asked with men in the room. I was about to say that. You know? No men in the room.
Starting point is 01:05:50 So I kind of pose that question here. Like where, how could that situation have been avoided? Because every man literally was just like, eh, threw the hands up. I don't know. It ain't on me. It's not me. I think the biggest piece is listening. Right?
Starting point is 01:06:10 So, it's three dudes here, four dudes here, that just literally answered the question. That went on deaf ears. Do you think that if it was somebody else sitting at that table, do you think that if maybe it was, I don't know, Megan Good sitting at that table? I'm just picking a name out of the clear blue sky, Megan Good or Logan LaRisse or Bresha Webb, somebody,
Starting point is 01:06:34 if it was anybody else but Sukiana, do you think that there would have been a different reaction from the men around them? No. I don't know. I say no. Yeah, I don't know. I say no.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Yeah, I'm not even going to say no. It's hard to even fathom that situation because I don't think that he would have had the gall to do that with someone. But bigger than that, and we can move on because we're repeating ourselves. Dog, the onlookers don't know the relationship that these two people have.
Starting point is 01:07:04 That's the biggest piece. They don't know that he don't know the relationship that these two people have. That's the biggest piece. They don't know that he don't know the girl. Nobody really randomly just walks up and starts tongue kissing somebody that they don't know. The crazy part is they were sitting at a table and it was like, was it like some kind of press conference or something like that? Like, were they announcing something? It was some basketball. It was, yeah. I don't fucking know what that shit was.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I saw basketball. It said crew league or something on the table so i assume that it was pressed for that yeah but even for him to even kind of like walk up was really what the fuck you doing here you know what i mean like that's just the whole thing was the whole thing was celebrity and he's a borderline celebrity thing yeah, the whole thing was funky. Well, no, he's a celebrity. He's a borderline celebrity. It's a basketball thing, yeah, and this is the press. You want all the celebrities to walk up there. Okay. No, no, go ahead and kill him, because I see you trying to kill him.
Starting point is 01:07:56 No. Kill him, get his shit off. I just think that the explanation that the men just gave, you didn't pull it in. Like, dog, nobody would think that he didn't know the girl if ish i'm not a celebrity but i'm i'm kind of popular now if i'm walking in a spot where celebrities at a table and i walk up to the lady and start kissing her somebody's gonna assume that i know this lady why does it why does it go and i'm i'm i'm you getting me. Nah, I don't want to either. She's trying to get me.
Starting point is 01:08:26 I'm not getting me with this. I don't want to. But what I will present is, yeah, we need to discuss what black men can do to help black women in entertainment. But why does nobody say anything about the company that's throwing the event? The company that's throwing the event oh they're like their liability in this yeah okay company that would be held liable needs to know what uh what sexual harassment looks like what sexual abuse looks like uh they had other youtubers and people try to run on that press conference and security tossed them niggas like Jazzy Jeff out the house. They tossed them right out of there.
Starting point is 01:09:11 So you have barriers in place. But this is a famous kid, so you're not going to handle him that way. But that is on y'all. That's on y'all to staff events properly, to hire the correct people and not shortcut that happens a lot where we shortcut and we cut in expenses so yeah we're not gonna have the what but i think it's the same thing joe i think that again this kid is famous uh-huh if joe button walked up there they wouldn't stop you right they wouldn't stop you they don't know if you got a relationship with the girl so you wouldn't do it but let's just say Joe Budden walked up there and started talking.
Starting point is 01:09:45 He did it twice, no? Yes. I would think that after the first one, they would maybe stop tapering. Yeah, he did it twice. Get in their little earphones and be like, is this okay? What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, cool. I receive what you're saying. There needs to be, the same way these companies have women in place to direct.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Same thing the NFL had to do. We had to go get some women to teach us and tell us how to handle women care for women and treat them when they're on set professionally there should have been somebody there specifically to make sure that the woman shit that has been popping up for the last few
Starting point is 01:10:18 years is being protected we're protected against that and then after we discuss that I think we can get to hey what should black men do as onlookers if you're ever in that situation? And this needs to be just a teachable moment for all. Yeah. But I didn't see where the big debate was. Flirting is not consent.
Starting point is 01:10:35 The end. I don't give a fuck how much he was flirting with dude. Yeah. It ain't consent. Like, where are we debating? I don't. we debating i don't the to me to me and you know glad that everybody feels the same way in this room there is no debate but it is wild to see how many people truly feel because of her persona and how she has you know conducted herself or whatever the case is that somehow this warranted that she
Starting point is 01:11:02 egged it on that she egged it on and but that is all that we don't I don't want to harp on that because that has always existed and people victim blaming hey what did she do hey what is she wearing she was asking for
Starting point is 01:11:12 yeah that mentality the people that think like that yeah they think like that and they just been thinking like they out there and they're monsters
Starting point is 01:11:18 and yeah banned from the earth yeah but we talking about young people that's running around getting money in different places and meeting other famous young rich people
Starting point is 01:11:27 for the first time and different companies. That's what I'm addressing. I'm not, all that, all that other shit, that middle of the country shit, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Yeah, well. You got it out? Yeah, no, no, no. I just, it was, I mean, it was. I'm sure it was triggering. It was, yeah. Yeah, a little bit. A. I just, it was, I mean, it was. I'm sure it was triggering. Yeah, a little bit.
Starting point is 01:11:47 A little bit. Young niggas doing young dumb shit. Do you think that, do you think that his behavior warrants a charge? And now, and this is what Meek was talking about. This is what Meek was talking about. This is what Meek was talking about. He did not see anything wrong with his behavior. And to me, that's a lot of a problem. That is a problem.
Starting point is 01:12:18 That you don't know that that was not fucking okay and that that was a criminal act. So you want him to go to jail? I posed a question. I'm asking you. Does anybody... Do you think he's charged yeah okay what women would feel like that too if that was your little sister that might have been you get i'm saying like i mean if it's if it's your sister if it's your daughter if it's
Starting point is 01:12:38 your mom if it's your aunt if it's your female relative yes that, I think that's how you all will feel. Yeah. That's assuming. That's assuming. But it's a fine line. If you think he should be charged, then you can't dismiss any of Meek's tweet. Because this is exactly what Meek's tweet was talking about. Look, I don't think the boy should go to jail.
Starting point is 01:13:01 I really, honestly, we can keep it a buck. I think he deserves his ass whooped. That's. I really, honestly, we can keep it a buck. I think he deserves his ass whooped. That's what I really think. But when you start putting these kids into the system and all the other shit,
Starting point is 01:13:10 it might go a step further. But I definitely believe he deserves his physical ass whipped. There should be some repercussion of some sort. But I'm not mad
Starting point is 01:13:18 at the women for feeling like that. And there will be. I'm not mad at the women for feeling like that. We black men and we know
Starting point is 01:13:24 what the system and all of that shit does. But I'm not mad at the women for feeling like that. We black men and we know that what the system and all of that shit does, but I'm not mad at any woman that feels like he's under charge. Neither am I. I'm not mad at them for that. But it's a loaded question
Starting point is 01:13:32 when you start asking black men. Okay, let me ask you guys a question. Let me ask you guys this question. She ain't going to get us out of here. Have you?
Starting point is 01:13:40 Because I really, I thought about this last night and especially after what I just said. Every woman knows a woman who has been sexually assaulted, but no man knows a rapist. Do you all, and you don't have to reveal any, obviously no names or anything, is there ever been somebody that you were cool with, friends with, that you saw the way that he treated and handled women that you were like, yeah, I got to get away from this dude. He's on some next level shit. Translation meaning he's rapey.
Starting point is 01:14:12 He's rapey. So you understand that this is our daily existence. We are taught to, when we're walking to our car, hold our keys in our hand. We are taught respectability politics of don't wear this in order to not attract that kind of attention. We're constantly taught that we have to monitor and alter and safeguard ourselves, have a hypervigilant, hypervigilant about our personal safety because of, out of fear of what, you know, what a man might do to us. You guys aren't, you guys don't live like that. That's how it is for us all the time. I was having a conversation with girlfriends last night where we talk about
Starting point is 01:14:57 all of these safety precautions that we take in our daily lives. You know what I'm saying? And also in our daily lives. You know what I'm saying? And also, another thing that we fear is rejecting a guy. Rejection, rejecting a guy sometimes will cause you physical harm or death. You know what I mean? It's not just, you're lucky if you just get,
Starting point is 01:15:15 oh, bitch, you ain't all that. Some women will get spit on, kicked, shot, whatever. These are real situations that happen to women. So when I saw Sukiana and I saw her level of discomfort, you know what I saw? I saw exactly what you saw, what you said, but I'm going to say it differently.
Starting point is 01:15:34 The fear of offending, the fear of affecting his life in a negative way, the fear of who's attached to this scenario on the peripheral, knowing that it's not just about me. It's not just about what just happened at this very second in time. I've literally been on a radio show where somebody like groped me, grabbed my fucking boob. Like, you know what I'm saying? It just, this was wildly triggering and it was just insane. and it was a literal sexual assault taking place in front of an audience and yeah sexual assault usually should result in in in charges yes yes all right
Starting point is 01:16:16 i challenge the audience out there honestly ask yourself who has the funnest podcast cast out? Honestly. Can you name a fun crew than this? Huh? Come on. Think. Really think. We are amazingly fun. We are. We're awesome.
Starting point is 01:16:37 I tried to get this idea twice. I thought she talked about it with light in them. She wanted to go for a sauce. She wanted to talk about it with light in them. She wanted to go for a song. She wanted to talk about it with dark in them. She said, no, no, no, but I want to ask y'all. No, no, no, no, no. This conversation is important with y'all. What you think?
Starting point is 01:16:54 She tried. See those rain clouds coming through? God damn. You bought the clouds. You can't even produce through it because you were saying low. You can't tell him that. You got to shut up. You got to shut up. You got to shut up.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I tried to spit this off in a job of rant with my little young nigga doing dumb shit. Flo. I ain't seen a white woman yet tweet Conor McGregor should be arrested.
Starting point is 01:17:19 I'm not here to bring up race. It's the weekend. I got fun shit to talk about. I got fun shit. I got fun shit to talk about. Listen, dog. I got fun shit to talk about. I got fun shit. I got fun shit to talk. Listen, dog, I got fun shit to talk about.
Starting point is 01:17:29 There you go. Hey, actually not straying too far from this conversation. Shaquille O'Neal, 50 shades of gray. Oh shit. Or purple. How's it not 50 shades of gray?
Starting point is 01:17:41 Let me tell you something. If I did it, it'd be bad. It'd be bad. No washer and dryer in the world. Oh, my Lord. Out of that creepy act. If I DM'd a young woman and ain't get no rhythm and I was at her job the next day.
Starting point is 01:17:57 In a Home Depot apron, spitting one of the hardest verses I've spit in the last few years. And buying people washing machines and drying them. Oh, they would have my ass. They would have my ass, buddy. It would be really different commentary. But it's cool. Y'all told me.
Starting point is 01:18:19 And you know what? I'm about to go off now. These fucking stupid people that write comments about this. I hate their fucking guts. Let me get my shit off. Oh oh you can tell joe joe i can't believe joe's take on that home depot situation whoa you can tell he's dealing with the escorts and the horrors and oh my god he's thinking he doesn't know a normal girl anywhere i am so shocked at what he you fucking idiots i gotta be real i can't believe people are so fucking stupid
Starting point is 01:18:46 I'm wrong for saying that the content creator should want to keep in touch with Shaq is that what they said? that's what they said they were saying that you were implying that she should fuck Shaq I didn't imply a thing because I said take sex out of it platonically
Starting point is 01:19:02 there are a million reasons why that young lady which should want to have a line with chat there's a bunch of reasons why she shouldn't have been as short as she was taking sex out of it you are a content creator this man owns mad businesses and invests in people and and is marketable he gets on if he does, this is the perfect person to speak to if you're a content creator. True.
Starting point is 01:19:27 And he landed in your shit. He's a walking business. He's a walking business. He is. Not only that, he helps the young people. He helps the young. He helps everybody.
Starting point is 01:19:37 He helps young, old, helps everybody in the world. Could have at least got a washer dryer out of the situation. That's what I'm saying. Ah,
Starting point is 01:19:44 you stupid idiots out there. Shaq might have wanted to tumble her dryer though, yo. Well, that's his business. He might have wanted to put her in a spin cycle. I mean. That's on him. Well, then you got to learn how to dangle your pussy properly. And that's where they call me. And that's where they call you.
Starting point is 01:19:59 But why? I'm a guy. I'm a guy. I'm a realist in today's generation. There's girls out here dangling it. That's the flip side of all that mushy shit that Melissa just said. No, it's another flip side, but I ain't one. I know. I'm not doing anything. She ain't tricking me today.
Starting point is 01:20:14 This is a fun cast. Yeah, Shaq went back over there, started rapping, started buying people things. The verse was great. He's mad tall. The verse was fire. He had mad tall. The verse was fire. He had the apron on. I think he bought Home Depot. He had to buy that apron.
Starting point is 01:20:29 He might have bought 17 Home Depots. No one else. Here come the O'Hare. Just in case. Look at the internet. Oh, my God. This is so fire. This is so cute.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Wow. Shack is the man. I almost drove right to Home Depot. I wanted to see. I wanted to just do a little test. Bump, bump. Yeah, but I can't hate. Nah, it. I wanted to see. I wanted to just do a little test. Bump, bump. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 01:20:47 but I can't hate. Nah, it would have had to have been a new verse. That was a new Shaq verse. He killed that shit. He killed that shit. He bodied it. Shout out to Shaq, man.
Starting point is 01:20:54 Shout out to Shaq. Shout out to Shaquille O'Neal and shout out to Home Depot, I guess. Yeah. And washer and dryers. They said that, she said that she had, speaking of the girl,
Starting point is 01:21:06 she said she had to quit. She said... I don't care. Oh, okay. I don't care. She also said she's mad that she doesn't have brand deals. Girl's full of shit. From all the...
Starting point is 01:21:17 That girl's a cloud chaser. Yeah. From the increase of her popularity. And a bad one. Yeah. She don't know how to dangle that either. Oh, Jesus. She don't know. She want brand deals, but she cut the't a bad one. Yeah. She don't know how to dangle that either. Oh, Jesus. She don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:26 She won brand deals, but she cut the Shaq conversation short. See what I mean? Hey, Redditors, answer that one, bitch-ass niggas. Hey, look, that's one reason that should have been a little extended. Oh, my God. All right, what else is going on? What else? John Morant got what?
Starting point is 01:21:43 25 days of suspension. That's official? That's official. What a letdown, my God. All right, what else is going on? What else? John Morant got what? 25 games in suspension. That's official? That's official. What a letdown, Adam Silver. You souped me up. I thought we had a big one coming. Yeah, he thought the hammer was coming down. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:55 I was waiting for it. He could have announced that right during the finals. I don't know what he's talking about. He could have put that right on the bottom ticker. Yeah, it would have been fine. Easily. Yeah. 25 games.
Starting point is 01:22:04 25 games. Dang, she sat out more games than that Easily. Yeah. 25 games. 25 games. She sat out more games than that last year. No. He had nine? No, I mean, he didn't play in, is what I'm saying. Not for suspension reasons. Yeah, between that. How do we feel?
Starting point is 01:22:15 We feel it's too less, right? Too little? I think so, but shit. If Adam Silver pussy, pussy. Did you guys think it was going to? That's my man, too. I take that back. That's my man.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Adam Silver or John Marotta? No, Adam Silver. Do you think that he deserved the year's suspension? think it was going to... That's my man too. I take that back because that's my man. Adam Silver or John Morant? No, Adam Silver. Do you think that he deserved the year suspension? I'm not going to say that. No. He didn't break the law. I think he would have sent
Starting point is 01:22:31 a solid message with a bigger than 25 game. Like half the season. Yeah, something. Money going money. Right. He's a star. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Mal's what's-her-name got 30 games for that shit he did. Mal's Bridges. How does John Morant get 30 games? What shit he did miles bridges how does john morant get 30 games i know i won't say i'm not cute he did something bad oh okay yo stop you do your little dumb voice um i think 25 games i thought it was going to be half the season at least. But 25 games, I mean half the season, might potentially take them out of playoff contention.
Starting point is 01:23:10 We can't have that. But last year, and this is just me being basketball, but they played better without him. Not better, but they won mad games without him. I just think that he's too much of a star now. I think with LeBron on his way out, Jha is one of the hopeful faces of the NBA, and they market in Jha.
Starting point is 01:23:30 This just furthers the theory that, well, this cements the theory that Adam Silver is really a player's commissioner. Yeah. David Stern would have tore his ass up. What? David Stern would have cracked him. David Stern would have sent his ass to the PGA.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Right to Dubai. Going over there to Saudi Arabia. Go ahead, L.I.V. Yo, nah, David Stern would have toured. What? He wouldn't have played with him. Yeah, nah, but I think Adam Silver, well, they said, I know,
Starting point is 01:23:56 that Adam Silver sat and got the opinions of the players, the commission. So I think the commission might have been as lenient and maybe describing that these young kids, because I've heard a bunch of things that were compelling to how these young kids are out here now. Say what? Moving around.
Starting point is 01:24:17 What you mean? Like, it's unfortunate that these young kids are growing up in a hip-hop era that really glorifies guns and violence. Even more so than we've ever seen. Yes. More than we've ever seen. And it's a cool thing to do. So we all know also, and I'm not caping for him, but rap music, athleticism, it all kind of ties in.
Starting point is 01:24:38 All of the professional athletes want to be rappers and the rappers want to play ball. So it kind of ties in. And this is what these little kids are out here doing now. of the little kids my little cousins be sending me turquoise guns i didn't know guns came in color dead ass serious they got the clip that's turquoise that's facts like yo what the fuck so they they like it'd be good kids with them too yes they like they really are um they got a fascination with just violence and gun, Joe, and the shit is crazy, and rap glorifies it a little more than when we were coming up. Rap glorified
Starting point is 01:25:10 drug dealing when we was coming up. It did. But now it's glorifying just taking a nigga head off, and these young kids are... I always get so triggered when we put it on rap. Dog, rap is a very big influence in the urban community, Joe. We can't lie about it.
Starting point is 01:25:25 You know what I'm saying? I'm not blaming it on rap. I'm just saying it definitely plays a part. I'm with you on the influence in the urban community. But once we start talking about guns and fascination with them, we still in America. Yeah. Right after pussy came guns.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Yeah. Not the fascination. America is fascinating. It's a few things are bigger than guns, isn't it? Cars, money, women. I watch. Guns might be fourth or fifth. I watch enough History Channel to know guns was never fourth and fifth. While everybody was chilling in their respective hoods,
Starting point is 01:26:00 the niggas that had the real guns and could access the real guns came and took your shit. They took over. And the only difference was y'all had slingshots and we had guns. This has been hundreds of hundreds.
Starting point is 01:26:14 And then when you got guns, our relationships enabled us to get bigger and better, faster guns that shot farther. The Gatling gun. It's always been guns. Power and guns. So, yeah. Correlation between power and guns.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Where do you think these niggas is getting It's Saturday man I'm not doing this. But niggas ain't just getting guns and when dude almost shot me in the head and tossed the gun when the cops found that gun they thought I was lying because black people shouldn't have access to this gun.
Starting point is 01:26:44 That type of gun. Whatever gun he had, nah, it's not a hood gun. So what really happened, Joe? I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? Making up a story? German shit. It was a fire gun. He had some heat. Thank God that jammed.
Starting point is 01:27:00 These the ones that don't jam. That's what they said. This ain't supposed to jam. I started talking to God. God, you did that shit, that jam. I think in the John Morant thing, I think 25 games might be too little. I think they should have hit him with a half a season. I think they should have hit him with a half a season just to show like,
Starting point is 01:27:19 yo, dog, we not playing. To all the new dudes coming in, we not playing with none of y'all. So y'all idolizing him this is what he got and if we could do this to him and he's one of the up-and-coming faces of the league we're gonna really crack y'all don't come in here on no bullshit y'all better come in here tiptoeing so i think that um 25 i'm sure he's pleased he got a gift he got a gift i'm sure he's happy he got a gift That's star power He did Yeah definitely Alright go John Go John I dare you do it again
Starting point is 01:27:47 I double dare you I dare you get your ass Out there with that Hootenanny I ain't gonna defend you No more Cause I defended him Do you think he does it again
Starting point is 01:27:53 Nah Do you think his name Comes across Adam Silver's radar At all this upcoming season No For a negative reason No
Starting point is 01:28:01 I hope not Like They just showed the AI shit They showed the AI shit when Philly was gonna trade AI And he was like dog That's the most focus I've ever been in my life because I wanted to stay there so bad That I put away all the street shit all the side shit. He fuck around have an MVP year Yeah, cuz he was out there do uh
Starting point is 01:28:22 Climbing on jeeps like now That's what you got it from, yo? He was climbing on top of that Jeep like mail. Oh, man. He pulled this gun out. You pulled your guns out? I got it. I got you.
Starting point is 01:28:32 I got you. Yo, Mariah Mills, you got to shut the fuck up now. She will never. You got it. It's over, ma. Ma, ma. That was 100 a month. Ma, ma.
Starting point is 01:28:42 Ma, ma. She's never shut up. Radio silence, yo. I know it hurt. It hurt when you lose the big fish. Stupid. I know it hurt. I know you going through it.
Starting point is 01:28:55 I know that these last few weeks quality of life has depreciated some. She's going to scare away the other fish. And I know it's painful. That's the bigger problem for her. Yo, you dodo. No, he cried when she sucked his dick. She'll be fine. She'll be fine.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Give her a little bit of time. They always bounce back. They'll bounce back. There'll be a new, there's a new, there's a draft coming up. The draft is coming up. There'll be a new. New shoes and tight dress. Right there.
Starting point is 01:29:18 But Mariah, listen, you got to shut the, it's over. It's over now. You got all the pod coverage. You got the blog coverage. You got whatever wire transfer he sent, tuck it and hold it tight. You better squeeze it. Hold it tight. You better squeeze it.
Starting point is 01:29:37 But you gotta shut the fuck up. We tired of it now. There's a petition going around. We tired of it. Enough. Zion might be coming to New York, so. No, no. No.
Starting point is 01:29:45 Yeah. Moriah done got Zion traded. Knew they was. We tired of it. Enough. Zion might be coming to New York, so. No, no. No. Yeah. Moriah done got Zion traded. Knew they was getting him out of there. They gonna send Julius Randall as right to New Orleans. No, they not. Stop. Stop this. Hyperbole.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Stop this malarkey. You just don't want to hear it. Yeah. It's not true. We'll see. You know New York. I'm the resident Nick fan here, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:04 I'm telling y'all, that's not true. That won't be happening. It's the Robinson, Cano, Melky, Cabrera, Ice-ish. You think we sending. We might not be the happiest with R.J. Barrett right now. You think we bringing in your fucking best friend over here that happens to play the same position as the person that we just gave a hundred million dollars to and you only played 39 percent
Starting point is 01:30:33 of games the last however many years and this new nick regime has shown nothing but patience you think we passed on donovan mitchell for z? I hope not. It's not happening. And if you did that out there, y'all be thinking that the NBA is so uppity, uppity and proper. I told y'all Zion was getting out of there. If you think the NBA heads, especially Nick heads, because they know what New York does to people, are not looking at Mariah saying, if he did that in New Orleans, with that,
Starting point is 01:31:06 there is no way, that's going to step further, zero chance, that he gets over here with that country bumpkin bullshit. Yeah, so the rights of Oklahoma. He'll file for bankruptcy. He will file for bankruptcy.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Yo, quick. They are trained assassins out here. That's true. They won't play with him. Gobble guy. Eat him right up. That's what he did. Eat him right up.
Starting point is 01:31:32 He'll be skinny, though. It'll be a chick that disappeared, got off the scene, coming back to the game. He'll be like, oh, shit. Where she been at? Yo. Red carpet with this goofy nigga. It might work, though, because he might be skinny.
Starting point is 01:31:44 That nigga fucked up and heartbroken. He ain't get skinny quick. He'll lose some weight. He will lose some weight. That heartache guy, you skinny to the motherfucker. Even them dunks ain't been looking all crazy lately, man. He better not come out. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Take it from me. I'm on a list of about seven people that know. Yeah, they'll tear his ass up, yo. They would. But. Save yourself. We gonna see up, yo. They would. But. Save yourself. We gonna see. Save yourself.
Starting point is 01:32:08 I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Knicks do some dumb shit. We'll see, yo. Knicks ain't done something dumb in a little while. Hopefully they turn the corner. Knicks ain't done something dumb
Starting point is 01:32:14 in a little while. True. They ain't done something dumb in a little while. It's been a little while. I got a basketball question I want to ask y'all before we move on
Starting point is 01:32:21 to all of the rappity rap, murder trial, killer killer gang gang, bang bang, shoot them up, consent flirting, like all of the rappity rap, murder trial, killer killer gang gang bang bang, shoot them up consent flirting, like all of this fucking shit. Yo, I'm not quite about to talk about all the shit that they want me to talk about.
Starting point is 01:32:33 Y'all not either. Street shit? No. No, none of it. None of this shit on the board. But anyway, the number one pick, Victor, I don't know how to pronounce his last name. He anyway, the number one pick, Victor. I don't know how to pronounce his last name. But he's Victor. You know who he is. You know who he is.
Starting point is 01:32:50 My question to y'all is this guy is being called arguably the greatest prospect ever. We know what teams were trying to do to get the number one pick for him. He's an alien. He's seven foot six with Kevin Durant abilities. I'm about to ask you a really stupid question that requires y'all to project a little bit. question is are we sure that victor wap babaloo bop babop bamboo should be the first pick of the draft yes i would say yes please tell me more i i would say yes because even if he's a bust right even if he don't do shit, his upside is so high that you can't afford to pass him up.
Starting point is 01:33:50 Like, niggas will start losing their job if they don't draft him. And he turns out to be good. I heard that in the Zion draft, too. True. And now look. His potential was high. I told y'all the other day
Starting point is 01:34:00 that that's how they was touting Zion. Y'all argue with me, but... Let me throw this out there before you continue. I don I want to interrupt you. Part of why New Orleans is talking about trading Zion is because they are really high on Scoot Henderson, who I've been talking about here for a while, who looks like a man child. He good. He's better than good.
Starting point is 01:34:22 He's good. He's under Steph Curry's wing now. There's footage out there of him and Steph Curry practicing threes. If he can get a shot. The word is that he absolutely killed his his uh. Combine.
Starting point is 01:34:37 Whatever that was that they did. Yeah. Like uh step back threes. Mid range. Like what we've been talking about about him, his jumper, he went crazy on. He's 18. He's built like a linebacker. He's faster than everybody and jumps higher than everybody.
Starting point is 01:34:55 Are we sure that Victor's ceiling is higher than Scoot's? Yes. I'm not. Ceiling, yes. I am not. No, I... Ceiling, yeah. I am not. No, I, Joe? I am not. You can't teach size. Somebody that's 6'2".
Starting point is 01:35:10 That's some old NBA jargon shit. No, it's not. Listen. You could be that tall and not be the best. Also, there's some perks that come along with being that tall,
Starting point is 01:35:17 as y'all mean. I mean, not perks, downsides that come along with being that tall. Feet, knees. Yeah, come on. He's just thick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:24 But I'm going to say this. Scoot Henderson's you'll find before you find another Vic. And I'm not ready to say that yet. Here we go. That's the difference. And it's just those two. I'm not ready to. I'm not jumping on that wagon yet.
Starting point is 01:35:39 The kid from Alabama's tough. I don't care about none of them. The kid from Houston is tough. They got some good people coming out of this draft. All that shit is cool. Scoot and Vic. Nah. All y'all other niggas is second fiddle and vibe second.
Starting point is 01:35:50 I know it's a deep draft. It's a deep draft. It's really a good draft. I'm not trying to play nobody. I know it's a deep draft. But Victor, Scoot. I don't be sold on it. I don't be sold on it.
Starting point is 01:35:59 All right. I'm not sold on it. Watch the footage of Scoot against Victor. Nah. This shit don't matter. We will revisit this We definitely will Y'all have Victor As a lock for rookie of the year
Starting point is 01:36:09 Uh No See I didn't say that I said his upside Is way more impressive Than Scoot's So if Scoot wins rookie of the year That won't mean nothing to y'all
Starting point is 01:36:17 No then You will be proven right Nah I don't say that Nah right Cause y'all are arguing upside That's one year Sure You're right
Starting point is 01:36:23 We'll see Where Victor has the advantage Is San Antonio and Greg Popovich Yeah I don't want to say that. No, right? Because y'all are arguing outside. That's one year. Sure. You're right. We'll see. Where Victor has the advantage is San Antonio and Greg Popovich. Yeah. Organization, culture, system, teaching. All of that. You get the wisdom of how to play basketball that go along with your physical attributes. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised or shocked or whatever,
Starting point is 01:36:42 giving you the W if Scoot were to win because there's a chance that, like, they won't play him down there if he's not ready, Vic. Like, on a full-time suit, like, most of the game, all game. Like, if you're not ready, you're not built. They're going to play him. He's getting played. Pop, they team ain't that good. And Pop calls the shots there.
Starting point is 01:37:08 Pop does what he want in San Antonio you feel them saying so he made that good but it's a made that bad they made that they are middle of the road and his report and they got some good pieces and his reports that already that Atlanta is looking to trade a dog to John take really really that's quick yeah we'll see it might be a fire sale over there we are the same thing about Trey Young, so we'll see. I think that with this draft, it's about to be a lot of movement. It's about to be a lot of trades. I'm anxious to see.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I want to see what happens with Bradley Bill. I can't wait. I can't wait. Can't wait to see it. I like calling Bradley. Everybody's calling Bradley. They said Sacramento. They said the Knicks.
Starting point is 01:37:44 We'll see. We'll see. I can't wait. He make a lot of money, though. He does. He makes a lot'll see. We'll see. I can't wait. He make a lot of money though. He does. He makes a lot of money. He deserve it. Let's see where Dame end up in.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Let's see what's going on. I got to see what the Knicks do. Y'all got money too. We got everything. Y'all got some bread. We got money. We got draft picks. We got tradable contracts.
Starting point is 01:38:01 We got everything. Y'all got some money. We ready to rock. All right. What else is going on? Yo, the Melly trial. The Melly trial. The Melly trial.
Starting point is 01:38:12 I don't think they can kill that kid based off all this circumstantial evidence. They have all the evidence in the world except for a motive and a weapon. And an intent. To prove murder, you got to have motive and intent. They don't really have none of that. No witness.
Starting point is 01:38:31 They got a lot of shit. A song. Like actual shit. Well, listen, the song, and I don't want to say this because to me it makes matters worse. They say the song came out before the murders happened. Oh. Okay. That changes things. Look, more
Starting point is 01:38:51 circumstantial shit. Huh. You get what I'm saying? They are presenting a lot of circumstantial shit. Hey, we got him DMing somebody the day of the crime saying I did it on Instagram
Starting point is 01:39:08 you read that you be like oh we got him but we niggas she finally gave you some pussy dog I did it
Starting point is 01:39:18 right who's to say it ain't that right prosecution tried to introduce a whole bunch of old snapchat shit to speak to this man's character uh it's just a mess it's a lot of circumstances a bunch of bullshit and you could be a piece of shit that i mean what i'm saying is even if you believe that
Starting point is 01:39:38 this dude did that the case that is being presented is you cannot. This is a death penalty. It's death penalty. It's funny. This is a death penalty case. You cannot take that man. You cannot take that kid's life based off these. And again, he could be a dirt bag.
Starting point is 01:39:58 He could be a weasel. None of that matters. So when they start bringing the character shit in, it does play a part in. Bruh. I think he gets a mistrial. in, it does play a part in, bruh. I think you get some misdraft. Yeah, I think you get a hung jury. Yeah. I think so.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Depending on who the jurors are. Could you imagine that? The man. Your life being in the hands of my lawyer, the prosecution, the judge. 12 people that I don't know. I would be scared shitless. Scared to death. I've been scared for a lot less than that. my lawyer, the prosecution, the judge, the jury. I would be scared shitless. Scared to death. I've been scared for a lot less than that.
Starting point is 01:40:30 He up there acting like it's a game. He's blowing kisses to people. Laughing and joking and shit. Laughing and joking. See, some of that shit, this is what I said with the Tory shit. Some of that shit just don't bode well. Some of these younger guys,
Starting point is 01:40:43 I don't want to call them kids no more. I think they be having like a detached sense of reality. Like even the Josh shit. Like fam, you not too big. They could take this shit away from you. And I don't think these kids think that that is a possibility. You're right and I agree with you, but I was a lot dumber at the age too. That's what makes it tough.
Starting point is 01:41:03 That's what makes it tough. At 18, 19, I was real stupid too. I too. That's what makes it tough. That's what makes it tough. At 18, 19, I didn't have what they had to lose. I was real stupid too. I was. That's true. Like even, and I gave Josh some grace.
Starting point is 01:41:12 Y'all remember I came up here and gave him grace? And sometimes it's like, yo dawg, the fuck are you doing? I just think you can't kill that kid. Never. Never, ever, ever.
Starting point is 01:41:22 I don't. Never. What else, what No. What else? What else? What else? They say Boosie got arrested. Do we know what his charges are? No.
Starting point is 01:41:31 They said he was fighting a gun case. That got dismissed. And the feds were there to pick him up on something totally unrelated to that case. He then put out a message to apologize to his kids telling his kids I love you then the report came out that he's putting his Rolls Royce up for sale but that might have been an old old post that might not be current so I don't want to speak to that but I don't know what he did I don't know what the charges are I know it's the feds I know it's the feds yeah they didn't they didn't say what it is thoughts and prayers
Starting point is 01:42:06 the feds yeah he stay in the motherfucking mix yeah he was arrested by federal agents outside the courthouse as soon as his it was his gun case hearing wrapped
Starting point is 01:42:15 but it was also in the same courthouse as the Melly trial correct? yeah and so he was and so he was attending that and then you know he put out a
Starting point is 01:42:27 tweet that he thinks he wants to start practicing law because he doesn't want all his black boys to go down and that sort of thing um but the father of um Melly's victim was like just blasting Boosie for even showing up Boosie's been really vocal with regards to some of the evidence that's being presented against Melly. Like, yo, they got an eyewitness saying that they saw somebody throw him out the car. And he like, yo, if you wasn't in the car,
Starting point is 01:43:00 you couldn't see nobody throw him out the car. Fuck, he could have jumped out the car. Yeah. Oh, then Melly jumped out the car. Yeah. Oh, then Melly's lawyer bodied it when, I guess, at one point, he got the sheriff dude to say that where they said the bullet holes were was a speculation by them that they concocted. It wasn't precise. Like, the defense lawyer is clearly doing a real good job.
Starting point is 01:43:24 We'll see what happens with that. Prayers to everybody and you don't want to be a dick because somebody really did lose their life. You know what I'm saying? Two people lost their life so we don't want to be insensitive to that but you got to do your job.
Starting point is 01:43:40 I hope they give that iPad white lady murderer The fucking life Don't worry about it iPad See See and this is what I mean
Starting point is 01:43:52 They don't be getting the coverage This is what I mean They don't get the coverage This is what I mean This is not the pod for it You said nothing Another pod I'll get to it But
Starting point is 01:44:00 There's real shit going on In the middle of the country. I'm going to play this. I didn't want to play it. Oh, the woman that, I know exactly what you're talking about. This woman walked up to her neighbor's house. I'll let you go ahead. A woman's children were playing.
Starting point is 01:44:19 I'll just play it. I'll just play it. Let me see here. Funcast. Please don't just watch me talk to each other this is a conversation thing right so the woman's kids were outside playing and when the kids came back in they said that their iPod their app their iPad was gone it was taken by like the neighbors kids there are no words we are beyond this is the mother of the woman that died. Broken over your loss.
Starting point is 01:44:46 This is Whoopi Goldberg talking to the mother, Pamela Diaz. How are the grandkids? And what can you tell us about what happened that day? I'm going to let this whole clip play because it's important and needs to be heard. Listen to this. On Friday, June 2nd, the kids were outside playing in an open field, a privately owned open field, as kids do. My nine-year-old grandson forgot his tablet. He went back to retrieve it, and Susan Lawrence was there to harass him. She called him racial slurs, said this is not the underground railroad. He's slave. She threw a skate at him, broke his tablet. So he did what any normal kid would do.
Starting point is 01:45:34 And he went home and told his mother. My daughter, Ashika, and my nine-year-old grandson went across the street to ask questions. My grandson went across the street to ask questions. She was met with a bullet through a locked metal door with her nine year old son standing next to her. My 12 year old grandson had to make the necessary calls for help. So awful. I don't hear enough about this, Aldi.
Starting point is 01:46:06 I don't. It's an emotional rollercoaster. Devastating. Then she continued, and it really fucked me up. I have four young grandchildren. The two oldest boys, they blame themselves.
Starting point is 01:46:20 Oh, why? The nine-year-old feels as if he hadn't left his tablet. His mother would still be here. Aw. No, Joe Biden. The 12-year-old, he couldn't do anything to save her. He has already started trauma therapy.
Starting point is 01:46:39 Good. That was recommended immediately for him. I'm cutting it off before I cry. I don't hear enough about this out there. This I cry. I don't hear enough about this. This is disgusting. I ain't know nothing about it. It was, this was like about a week and a half ago. It's black women who are murdered,
Starting point is 01:46:58 go missing, et cetera, et cetera. These are stories that just do not make, you know, big headlines. They just don't. That's the reality of the situation. It takes Sean King or Amanda Seals or, you know, just activists who push the story up to the top for people to and don't allow anybody to ignore it. You know what I'm saying? Like in the case of Trump and his indictments, everybody just skated over the J.P. Morgan $290 million
Starting point is 01:47:25 payout to the victims. There's stuff that makes it to the top that we listen to that's really just a fucking red herring. It's a distraction from what's really going on. And this story is horrific. The neighbor was a racist piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:47:42 I hope she gets the book thrown at her. What state was this? Florida. No, because she's already claiming stand your ground. She already is. Miserable, just wrinkled, old testicle-looking motherfucker. That one's not going to fly. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:47:59 We'll see what happens. She shot her through the door, and she died, like, very shortly after. I would think there would have to actually be a physical interaction for there to be standard ground. Yeah, that's not gonna fly. No, you gotta feel threatened. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:12 She's arguing. She felt threatened by the fact that the woman came to her door and was on her property. And she can make up a whole dialogue about what the lady was saying behind closed doors, potentially. I don't know Florida's laws that well,
Starting point is 01:48:24 but... Florida is run by Governor DeSantis, so... Oh, we know who they're run by. I'm just. I don't know Florida's laws that well, but... Florida is run by Governor DeSantis. Oh, we know what they're run by. I'm just saying I don't know what the laws are that would determine if this is thick or not. I swear to God. Next thing we're going to turn around and this woman's going to have like a fucking
Starting point is 01:48:36 $1 million GoFundMe defense fund. I'm sure she's on this one. It's probably already started. I wouldn't be shocked. Well, because there's two sides to a coin. So again, you're going to always have those people. I don't want to highlight those. Fuck them.
Starting point is 01:48:47 They have their own platforms to highlight themselves. I want to highlight these kids that lost their mom and this woman that lost her fucking daughter. Over an iPad. And now got to raise these four kids. And one of the kids happened to witness the murder and was right there over a fucking iPad. I want to highlight that portion of this.
Starting point is 01:49:08 Once we get into, once we get into, listen, homeboy was just indicted. Daniel, what's his name? The train murderer. What's his name? Perry, Petty. I forget. Fuck him too.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Yeah, fuck him too, basically. But yeah, he was just indicted for second degree murder. Okay, but we still should have his name. Daniel Penny. Penny. Daniel Penny, indicted. That one is probably going to be a bit tougher. That's going to be a bit tougher.
Starting point is 01:49:32 His dad has got resources and connections. Yeah, that part would make it tough. Well, and there's other witnesses that say, all right, dude was bugging out. So this is going to be open for interpretation. I don't think that any civilian should be able to fatally choke someone. You can subdue me.
Starting point is 01:49:53 You can subdue him. Yeah, but I don't think you should be able to choke somebody to death. I don't. And if the police don't know when to stop choking someone to death, then how could you assume that a civilian does? I don't like anything about that.
Starting point is 01:50:08 Hopefully justice is served in that case as well. Rest in peace to the man that lost his life. Jordan Neely. Jordan Neely. The kids from this case. That really actually- But indictment ain't enough. Indictment ain't enough.
Starting point is 01:50:22 Yeah. Indictment is not enough. So hopefully we see more on that as well. Word. All right, ladies and gentlemen. We have a guest. Indeed. We got a fucking guest I'm excited about too.

Starting point is 01:53:41 Whew. And now I heard it. Yeah. Different conversation today. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What was wrong with you? People don't just rap like that, Mike.
Starting point is 01:53:49 Oh, man. I mean. Move that mic a little closer, please. It's been a journey. It's been a 20-year journey. And I say that proudly because a lot of times, you know, in rap you get shamed, you know what I mean, because of age or time or whatever.
Starting point is 01:54:02 But my favorite rapper, Scarface, to me, you know, since 1987, never dropped a whack record ever. you know what I mean, because of age or time or whatever. But my favorite rapper, Scarface, to me, you know, since 1987, never dropped a whack record ever, you know what I mean? So my thing is that's my ambition. So I embrace it. But, man, I just didn't want to die. And people have not seen my truest potential, the greatest potential. So I had to do it. You know, I almost,
Starting point is 01:54:26 COVID laid me face down on my face. Right after Run the Jewels Fort is about to drop, we about to go on a world tour, we about to kill it. COVID happens, but I go home and catch COVID before they even name it. My man, Butter, God bless his dad,
Starting point is 01:54:37 his father, Robert Senior, died. I went to the funeral, I came home, and I was on my face for two weeks, in the bed, like, thinking, I'm gonna go. And when I came out of that, I was just like, man, I got to I got to do something. And you didn't catch COVID again after that. I caught it one more time after that. I caught a mild case.
Starting point is 01:54:51 It wasn't bad. Yeah. No, no. It wasn't. It wasn't after that. But me and Cuz Lightyear was working. Shouts out to Cuz who put his career on pause to A&R the album. We was working on a mixtape, like a villain's tape.
Starting point is 01:55:03 That was crazy. You know what I mean? It was just, you know when you and your raw rapping homeboy get together, y'all just say, we just gonna go crazy. I had these solo snippets
Starting point is 01:55:10 and records and freestyles and he was like, bro, it's just time. Just go ahead and let them know and let's do it. And I didn't want to go without people knowing.
Starting point is 01:55:19 You know, it's like, you get talked about who your top five and tens, you get your secondary tertiary arguments, and then you get talked about who your top five and tens you get your tertiary your secondary tertiary arguments and then you get your slept on I got fucked that slept on list
Starting point is 01:55:31 you feel slept on you feel slept on I was slept on but do you feel slept on you talk about Atlanta you done named me in the first five niggas you sleeping
Starting point is 01:55:41 anybody you talk about I done been on a record with it went crazy. Well, even a younger fan, do you give that to them too? Man, motherfuckers, they had to wake up. I woke them up. Usually, I wake up by showing up whoever you like the most. I'll get on a record with them and go fucking crazy.
Starting point is 01:55:57 And that's why we ain't fucking with you still. And say, oh my God, Mike, I never would have. Like a nigga called me this morning on the way up here. Good nigga, man. He called me. We on business next to each other. He He said man, you know, I never really listened to you I say nigga, I know you know But he saved my listening this three times already this morning So I say it's just time, you know to to get off the I don't want to be on the underrated list
Starting point is 01:56:18 I don't want to be on an episode on song. I want my fucking oh, he was the one and Anybody who the one this morning waking up reevaluating what the fuck they did in the studio. I was blown away. You put work in there. We all were.
Starting point is 01:56:31 You put work in. You can hear it. You can feel it. This is not what a lot of people do now is just do what they do. Status quo shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:40 You put extra work. Absolutely. Absolutely. And you got to. You got to. I agree. Speaking of Stat Cole, like Stat Cole is one of the best rappers
Starting point is 01:56:46 to come out of Atlanta, right? And motherfuckers slept on him. I always thought that was criminal. Saha the Prince, one of the best rappers to come out of Atlanta. Criminals slept on him. I'm just like, I'm not. Motherfuckers not going to sleep on me.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Slow down. Joe and Saha got things. No, Saha is one of the best rappers. Joe's one of the best rappers. He's one of the best rappers. Saha can rap. This shit is like sports. But what I'm telling him to stop, not because of the rapping ability. No, he's one of the best rappers. He's one of the best rappers. Cy can rap. But I'm telling him to stop,
Starting point is 01:57:05 not because of the rapping ability of the people he's named. Yeah. That's undeniable for me. Stat Quo, it was, you got to get in the right label situation with people who understand you and are willing to market what you do. And I don't think Stat Quo fell.
Starting point is 01:57:22 He didn't get the right shot. Like, Stat Quo put out,'t get the right shot like Stat Quo Stat Quo put out what are you Grits Girls Raised in the South like they was trying to market him
Starting point is 01:57:30 just differently I mean they had me do Adidas they do that a lot like Adidas won my record it was an Outkast record they didn't use and Columbia was like
Starting point is 01:57:38 well we don't know what to do with Killer Mike so we just give them you know yeah but that's Outkast we're going to encourage you to do that and I didn't know that
Starting point is 01:57:43 but that's what big companies do but you you gotta figure it out and same and same with sign yeah right like you gotta be careful you in that good music system you you got kanye you got all the support in the world but then when things get a little tricky like what can you lean on that's why i'm bigging up gunner so much because thrust into this situation that he's in with the world against him and with seemingly no support he showed up. He showed up as his album today released
Starting point is 01:58:14 with yours is phenomenal. It ain't as good as mine but it's love. I didn't say that. Hold up. I didn't say that. If phenomenal is his Then what's the next word Up for passing
Starting point is 01:58:27 I like you I like Mike talking That shit too I don't think I ever heard it Yeah there ain't no difference Cause I haven't And it's like You stay humble
Starting point is 01:58:36 And you expect it to come But it ain't gonna come Until you slam dunk On the motherfucker Like God bless the dead You know what I mean A lot of motherfuckers That died waiting
Starting point is 01:58:43 On the motherfucker To acknowledge him I can't wait on that Like God bless him I fuck with God the Lord I never took A lot of motherfuckers that died waiting on the motherfucker to acknowledge them. I can't wait on that. Like, God bless him. I fuck with God the Lord. I never took his picture down out of my shop. He was one of the first people
Starting point is 01:58:49 to support his swag shop. His love. But that album don't compare to Michael. No album that dropped today does. That's a fact. Michael's year. I don't know if there's an album this year that compares to yours.
Starting point is 01:58:57 I don't think so either. I heard four songs and I ain't gonna hold you. My sister's dead one night. She brought out her titties. I was happy. But ain't nothing comparing to Michael. I love it.
Starting point is 01:59:09 And that's from the Girls of the Blue Flame. So they jamming, Michael. They hit me this morning. What for you is the difference? You said your A&R started as a mixtape. Yeah. For you, what is the difference today between labeling something a mixtape versus album versus EP? How does that count against you against anything? I can't even say count for against I just know me and cuz
Starting point is 01:59:29 reached out ceiling we put together a phenomenal mixtape we had the samples we had to we clear energy you know we had them clear we had to be you know it's easy to clear samples today but when we win it got with no ID it's like it's like this question it's like when you when you get to the point you like I did all I can do now I got to go visit. I got to go visit Yoda. I got to go sit in the swamp with my Dion what he what he showed us is that follow your instinct Play with pros don't play with people who trying to get it to understand Play with the people who gonna walk in the room get it understand and go that direction and take you further so when damo came in to play bass
Starting point is 02:00:08 damo heard the bass lines we had but damo said well quiet there and then he oh the bass was and then don't don't chase every trend pick the people you running with and go all the way through. Aaron Allen Kane, Hannibal Buress introduced us to her. Once we heard her once, we wanted to hear four, five times. So when it was time to sing,
Starting point is 02:00:33 we called her. We gonna let you tell us no, but we gonna make the call. Ty Dolla came in for one record. He left and said, give me two. You know, so when you playing with pros, you play ball at a pro level. So play and deal with
Starting point is 02:00:46 people who are dare i say better or have had more success you're gonna learn it's gonna tweak you it's gonna sharpen your knife and that's what i did kill a mic most people can't get in touch with other people most people can't find the people that's better than them or can help like that like that's the thing i told you yesterday about even working, being able to work with no ID like that. No ID, niggas call and say, yo, I need you. And he say, get the fuck out my face.
Starting point is 02:01:10 No, no. You can't talk to that niggas on another planet somewhere. So for you to even have access to the people that are on this project and for them to be so willing to give their best foot,
Starting point is 02:01:22 it speaks volumes. Yeah, I've been blessed, man. I've been, I've been blessed. But you you know what people say I got it out the mud people say they want it they want to do on their own merit it's gonna take time you're gonna suffer you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna bleed a little you're gonna cry a lot but if you stay dedicated if you're a dog about it like I heard nip I watched the whole interview when he say essentially what he was it's just tenacious he wouldn't give up you know i remember when nip dropped that rap niggas i remember calling cuz
Starting point is 02:01:48 like oh cuz done went crazy like you know i mean i was like man he didn't finally found his stroke you know what i mean and i think that i have understood i've become a better mc by being one half of run the jewels because i developed a greater discipline. You know, after me and L did rap music, which was also 11 years ago, certified classic. Talk about it. Talk about it. I could feel the shift. I knew. I knew I was as good as I ever thought I was and I was better than I could be.
Starting point is 02:02:15 I knew as one half of Run the Jewels that if I took the discipline that I saw L had in terms of production and in terms of how he took writing. I knew if I used that, that I'd be sharper. Going into this, man, it wasn't hard. It was easy. I'm shooting from half court knowing the ball won't go in at this point. As exciting as this is, wait until y'all hear what we do on Michael
Starting point is 02:02:37 2 and 3 because it's going to be a trinity. Wow. How far were you in the album when you went to No I.D.? About a year in. It took us about took us about two and a half years. About a year in. It was about a year in before we sat down. And we was at Stakeholder. It was just like, well, damn.
Starting point is 02:02:52 We done did everything we could do. What do we do now? And I had talked to Dion about it. But he was like, when y'all ready. He had sent us the beats. We had sent them records. He said, when y'all ready, come out here. And about a quarter million dollars in,
Starting point is 02:03:05 I went out to L.A. and I didn't tell my wife I was going to spend another quarter million dollars. So, she just seen the account string. Like,
Starting point is 02:03:13 nigga, what the fuck is wrong with you? You got another family in Columbia or something? I'm like, no, baby, I got a dream.
Starting point is 02:03:19 I said, you know, I told, I used the analogy of Noah. I said, God told me to build a boat, you know, and here we sit today.
Starting point is 02:03:25 And them planks cost? Yeah. And them planks cost? Hammers and nails ain't cheap. It's the good wood. It's the good wood, baby. Yep. Damn.
Starting point is 02:03:32 And she received that from you. Yeah. I mean, I got to pay her back. You know, white folk give me my money. I got to put it back. You know? She going to make sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:39 She don't play much. She grew up in a project. Her grandma ran a little house. So she'll be in it. No, you talk about your wife all the time. Yeah, I do. She so she'll be in it. No, you talk about your wife all the time. Yeah, I do. You don't play. I believe in her.
Starting point is 02:03:46 You talk about your wife all the time. That's fine. I follow you on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sitting here super fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. We fanned out a little bit.
Starting point is 02:03:54 I literally love how you talk about your wife on Instagram. She is your queen. It's easy when you tell the truth. As she goes to the flying with me, and you know what I mean, she let me be a man, and she encouraged that. I love that about her.
Starting point is 02:04:06 You know, she ain't, she don't let insecurity and ego rule her. So I appreciate that. You know what I mean? Because I got a very beautiful wife. And you know what I mean? No surgeries needed, no extras. You know, she do the shit I don't like.
Starting point is 02:04:17 You know, she do the eyelashes shit like that. I'm blessing that she's confident in herself. And so, you know, we do cool things together. Can I have a, I just want to take another fan moment. One of my favorite features ever that you've ever done is Kill Jill. Oh, shit. I was literally, I was blasting that in my car like two days ago. It is one of my favorite songs.
Starting point is 02:04:40 And it's your feature that makes that song one of my favorites. Thank you, man. So quick story on that, because I just hung up with Big Boi, who, man, just thank him for... Anytime Big's in the studio, I just run through and I just say, oh, this is what you're rapping. I just drop verses into the beat. Big probably got a couple albums on me. But my man, PK, Pretty Ken from the Addict Crew, the guys who discovered the Youngbloods, PK calls me out of nowhere. He say, hey, fat boy. I said, what? He said, fat boy, I got a record for you, man. I said, for real?
Starting point is 02:05:08 He said, yeah. He said, it's a hit. He said, you just got to do this shit now. So I pull up to the studio, check it out. I'm just like, ooh, shit, this shit nasty, man. And then I say, damn, I can't use it, though. And he like, what? What the fuck?
Starting point is 02:05:23 I said, I'm in the Run the Jewels We gotta get Four Run the Jewels records I knew it wasn't A Run the Jewels record So I said man I gotta give it I gotta give it
Starting point is 02:05:32 To one of my partners And say a partner I could tour with And Big is constantly On the road So at this point I'm still just like Do whatever it takes
Starting point is 02:05:40 For you to keep Stay on the road So I take it to Big I say look I got a great record For you man It's dope I got one request just let me stay first you know I just let me stay first big as a pattern master him and guys like Wayne missy Elliott they master patterns I was like I can't let this motherfucker get
Starting point is 02:05:56 in front of me he gonna come up with a pattern that's awesome let me stay and be big did the record he put out as a single took me out on the road you know and I still pop up with him. So I appreciate it. And I learned in that moment, you know, do what's best for what's best for you. And Run the Jewels is best for me. So I did what was best for my group by lending a solo record, by lending it to my mentor and giving it to him. So I still get to be a part of the record.
Starting point is 02:06:20 But thank God I love that record. You got some patterns, too, though, now that I think about it. Yeah, yeah. You're very inventive as far as your flow I'm one of the best all around rappers in terms of
Starting point is 02:06:29 if you hear me on a song with Black Thought and Pusha T it's not gonna sound like the same guy that's on Kill Jill it's not gonna sound like Never Scared
Starting point is 02:06:36 not gonna sound like you know the guy that's popping up on Run the Jewels I pride myself on that because Calriss One did that Styles you don't get ripped
Starting point is 02:06:43 oh no i ain't come to lose yeah i ain't can you tell me about often often right you know i'm niggas be like man i got this i got my nigga on this shit man it's not nigga i'm not i'm showing up to show out no bullshit i often on this podcast speak about because because it's fans listening, so fans only acknowledge your finished product. Yeah. I often try to talk about the feeling as an MC when one of them other goats come in to do the same song.
Starting point is 02:07:16 Yeah. And some of the pressure that comes with that, what's he about to say? What's he about to do? What uncanny ability? He about to showcase on my shit. Can you speak to us and me in particular he about to say what's he about to do what uncanny ability he about to showcase on my shit can you speak to us and me particularly about how it feels to know that three stacks is coming new three
Starting point is 02:07:33 stacks flute japan yeah that's my guy like how does that what comes with that how'd you sleep the night before when did you know this was coming? Man, when he came, I literally called him just to say, man, come listen to the record, because I care what him and Big Boi think. They gave me an opportunity to change my life. And so I'm never gonna, I tell people all the time, I say, if we sit in a room and Big Boi say I'm thirsty,
Starting point is 02:07:59 I'm gonna go out and grab some water. Like, that's me, that's my dog. He gave me, I understand the order, that's my dog he gave me I understand the order you know that's my man um so it matters what he and Dre think about my music so big had already gave me the thumbs up big had already gave me a great rate on stank on you so spotted at 250 went to stank on you and when Drake was like yeah he's I'll pull up and check it out he pulled up and checked it out and then before he left he said you mind about back tomorrow and bring some records? I'm just like,
Starting point is 02:08:27 you mind? I'm just like, yeah. I'm just like, yeah. Bring that goddamn flute, nigga. He came back and Cuz said, I don't care what he come back with, Cuz. We using it.
Starting point is 02:08:43 I don't give a fuck. This nigga singing, doing carpools and foot. We using something. And I'm like, fuck you, I don't give a fuck this nigga singing or carpooling, we using something. And when he played it, man, he played that and I'm just like,
Starting point is 02:08:50 the pattern was crazy, the beat was, and I was just like, God damn, like, shit, how I'm gonna rap over this beat,
Starting point is 02:08:58 you know what I mean? And that, the challenge is less about the other person and more about how do I make sure I don't let down the work that's already happened. You know, like I don't want to be
Starting point is 02:09:08 the stale piece of bread on the sandwich. So after him and Future got on the div, that's when I felt the pressure. Because ain't nobody going to not like Dre and Future. How does that collaboration come together? It seems like an odd pairing at first. If you don't know about Future's history. Yeah, we're all Dungeon family.
Starting point is 02:09:23 So Dungeon family, they're oddities period. They're like the Fantastic Four. Nobody's alike and everybody's superheroes. So when I heard when Dre hit Future and belloked him and Future was on, then that's when I started biting my nails, like, okay, Fatboy, what you going to do? You know what I mean? You got Dre with the super smooth, all the ladies that are esoteric and go to the MJQ, you know they going to do? You know what I mean? You got Dre with the super smooth, you know, all the ladies, all the ladies that are esoteric
Starting point is 02:09:45 and go, you know, to the MJQ, you know they going to love Dre. All the guys who wanted to be rappers and master, blaster, caster rappers,
Starting point is 02:09:51 you know they going to love Dre. Then Future come in and it's just like, man, toxic lyricism. You know what I mean? Like, you know Future going to kill it
Starting point is 02:10:00 and then I'm like, okay, fat boy, what you going to do? And I went in my, hey man, I'm an MC back. I boy, what you going to do? And I went in my, hey, man, I'm an MC bag. I dropped.
Starting point is 02:10:06 I did six or seven verses before I loved what I did. I liked a lot of the other shit. You fucking right. Talk about that. Get comfortable with what you like. Don't get comfortable with accepting good enough. The devil is in comfort. The devil lies in comfort.
Starting point is 02:10:23 Time you get comfortable enough, that's when the devil of i lacked oh i let myself slip that day you know i'm saying and that's what the fuck happened and i'm like the other verses literally i remember like even like cousin and my manager will me cousin will look like a trifecta i have a manager who actually likes music that was like no that was good i'm just like i call cousin next day like nah cuz that ain't it and then one day out of nowhere the pattern just hit and I was like I got it I got it I knew I had that motherfucking I knew I had it and when we went in and did it you got Dre and James Blake did his part you got no ID doing future's part and then they called DJ Paulie and and they gave me the drum. And it was, come on, let me get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 02:11:07 You have to relax right now. You have to stop. I knew I was where I was supposed to be. What are you talking about over there? It's like the Justice League Super Friends shit y'all had going on over there. I just want to play a little bit of this. Because this is scary. Communication coming in. Too much that I can't communicate
Starting point is 02:11:25 With all of them I do wish I had some Yeah he started the verse like that I'm going to Dunkin Donuts Yeah He started the verse like that I'm going to Kroger's Yeah
Starting point is 02:11:33 Stupid yo Y'all not for real I told him it sounded like Aliens in the studio You Dungeon Family niggas Are crazy Word up It's an honor
Starting point is 02:11:41 My first phone call today Was Rico Wade So you know me and Rico got a I'm from they're from Southwest Atlanta and I'm from
Starting point is 02:11:49 the west side of Atlanta so the west side me T.I. you can see our west side has got a little more rough around the edges
Starting point is 02:11:56 sometimes we use big words but we a custom motherfucker out in the middle of the street you know Southwest Atlantis
Starting point is 02:12:02 you know what I mean they're a little smoother and cooler so over the years you know Rico and I have been on different sides of the street, you know. Southwest Atlantis, you know what I mean? They're a little smoother and cooler. So over the years, you know, Rico and I have been on different sides of the street, not in a bad way, just like, no, I don't like that, Reek, you know what I mean? And Keel, this is what you should do. But man, I was honored to get a call from Reek this morning that just sounded excited like, Keel, I'm proud of you, dog.
Starting point is 02:12:20 Like folks calling me. My cousin, Mr. DJ calling, told me he went crazy. His voice is the first voice you hear on that. That's Rico doing, essentially serving as the voice of Atlanta through it. But getting that call from Rico meant a lot to me. And I want him to know that today. Like, man, I got so much love, respect for him and Sleepy Brown and Ray Murray. Ray was serving as a ghost, essentially, in the studio with me and cuz.
Starting point is 02:12:42 Ray will come in, roll his blunt and say, I like like what you're doing but that don't sound southern enough if you're gonna do it it needs to be as cohesive as the chronic it needs to be as southern as anything we were doing in the 90s balling g and then you just walk back out and me and cuz just in the goddamn room like yo but you say that is exactly what i hear on your album. Yeah. That what you just described, like beautiful art. But the MC in me was like, oh, man, it sounds frustrating to do, to execute. This sounds like the greatest of the greats was in there saying, nah. Not good enough yet. Nope.
Starting point is 02:13:19 Put another beat switch. Do it again. Oh, man. And I'm going to tell you. Go harder. I don't like the concept. The honorable C note. Write it better. The honorable C note. The fucking honorable C note. switch do it again oh man and i'm gonna tell you go harder i don't like the concept the honor ride
Starting point is 02:13:25 it better the honorable c note the fucking honorable c note my my fat boy brother who dressed fresh and wear good cologne this motherfucker man i love him and he's a goddamn asshole c belt will come in and literally just i mean i just thought i had did the most perfect shit and just say you didn't say that right. What you mean I didn't say that right? This one line. I'm like, nigga, you just heard. Nah, change that line. And he be right.
Starting point is 02:13:51 You know what I'm saying? So keep a team around you that wants to be excellent. They don't want to be. C-Note got that chubby kid chip on his shoulder too, like me. Like, motherfucker, y'all going to see me. You know what I mean? And I just appreciate that. Because you need to be pushed you need to be driven if you get a foot somebody need to say you could have got another inch or two out of it and um i'd never make records the
Starting point is 02:14:15 same again i'm hating you no i am i'm hating man and i could tell they have fun doing this shit all the way through man all the way through i had so much fun we worked like a regular job we was working third shifts we go in at 10 at night and we leave at four six in the morning we take the weekends off some mornings we say I mean some nights we say fuck work just go to the blue flame get inspired but that's work we literally just acted like guys working at UPS on the third shift. And it got more fun because the pressure was just on creating the dopest art. It wasn't in, I have to meet a deadline, because it was coming out of my bank account. You know, I didn't have, it wasn't in. This is all indie, right?
Starting point is 02:14:57 Sorry to cut you off. Yeah, it's all indie. I partner with Loma Vista now, and they've been a great partnership. Shout out to Tom and Ryan and, you know, Dart dart and Adam over there it's just it really the whole team every the kids who work in digital over there are excited and it's good to be a part of a partnership in which that excitement happened so yeah it started just totally out of my pocket it was the it was the nigga it was the killer Mike nigga fun and you know and it turned into this partnership well but I put you
Starting point is 02:15:23 know I put my money into it I put my money into it. I put my time into it. But I put my heart and soul into it. And that's what made it fun. It was me and my friend, Cuz, in the studio. It was people like Ray Murray, Rico, C-Note, following through. It was getting Metro beats.
Starting point is 02:15:38 I remember him and C-Note working. He just hit me out of nowhere with some encouragement. Mike Will hit me out of nowhere just with some encouragement. So I'm just like, man, you never know what them positive words will do for folks. You naming goats. Yo, I was about to say, yo, you naming. Yeah, he just called my phone.
Starting point is 02:15:53 Yeah, but even with Kool and Dre, man, like I just, man, I've known them since my first album. They was one of the last producers on my first album. Had I met them before, they might have did half the first album. It took me over a decade to get back with them and we get back with them and we created magic.
Starting point is 02:16:07 You know what I'm saying? So I just wanted to make before I got out of here a piece of art that would give me, I want 10 more years. I want 15 more years and this record starts that.
Starting point is 02:16:17 It's a reset. But my wife woke up and she said, happy resurrection day. You are born again. This is a new thing. You are not the same artist. How is it doing the late night shit
Starting point is 02:16:31 with maintaining the family life? Well, man, I got an interesting family. They crazy. My wife hang out with me. She don't sit home and wait on me. She don't hang in the studio as much, but she might follow through. She might be on her way to the flame you know what I mean okay so um you know my my daughter who's 25 now she's just never slept so she'll keep me in three
Starting point is 02:16:54 and more daddy what you doing you know what I'm saying I need some money you know I mean so it was it was no different than every working man but I appreciated working those hours because it regrounded me in terms of I needed to feel like a working man again. Like when you hear me say, you know, I'm back to the dickies and bucks looking like I drive a truck, you know, that meant the world to me because I needed to put myself in a mentality of be consistent, do the same thing on a daily basis, and good is going to lead to greatness, and the outcome is going to be great on the other side. Discipline, my man Bear Loke tells me,
Starting point is 02:17:30 I've lost 47 pounds trying to lose 15 pounds. Congratulations. Bear Loke says to me, discipline brings joy, and joy brings discipline. And I'm not instinctively a disciplined person. I don't like conformity. I don't, I'm not instinctively a disciplined person. I don't like conformity. I don't like rules and shit. But I can say the more I have set my own parameters and guidelines, the more joy-filled my life has become.
Starting point is 02:17:58 Tell us something about killing Mike outside of killing Mike. Michael. Who is, yeah. No, not the album. Don't try it. Don't you try it. Don't you try it. Don't you try it. killing Mike outside of killing Mike? Michael? Who is, yeah, no, not the album. Don't try it. Don't you try it. Don't you try it.

Starting point is 02:18:15 What is, what does Michael enjoy doing outside of music if you have free time? Collecting art and toys. Oh yeah, I do some art. I nerded out
Starting point is 02:18:24 on your art here um thank you i collect art i collect toys i take pictures of toy cars um you know friends with the president of hot wheels that's like you build them no i used to do the model cars when i was a kid you know i have two dads i have a bio and a non-bio dad and my non-bio dad's a toy collector and stuff so he he's always in loud and encouraged that But yeah, I like toys They get along? Yeah, of course they do They both love my mama
Starting point is 02:18:49 They better get along That boy My mama was a bad boy I was about to say, she made it But you know what? I respect and admire those men Because having grown up I'm not willing to share my kids
Starting point is 02:19:03 We tried that experiment My youngest daughter Her mom got married and shit I was really cool with him and shit tried to be all inclusive you know he was he was weird I like him a lot he was coached my youngest son in football but he never just fell out of wind like we raising this little girl together so when they got divorced I was like don't worry champ I got this you know what I'm saying back back to just me and her because I don't I don't like to share like that but so I admire both my father's and that my grandparents raised me they were both involved in my life and they were always respectable and talked highly of each other they never talked down each other they never put they never put each other down in front of me and there was
Starting point is 02:19:37 always you know my mama could be held but Lord knows they had to have patience to deal with her so they loved her so much that they poured into me. And I appreciate, you know, Anthony and Michael. Thank y'all. Y'all my guys. Yesterday you spoke about, yesterday when we spoke, you spoke about your upbringing being very different from most rappers. Yeah. And so therefore your views coming in.
Starting point is 02:20:00 Can you speak to that again, please? Yeah, I grew up, you know, in most most i didn't understand till i started talking nationally how unlike the rest of black people in this country my life has been i grew up in atlanta georgia which you guys think start a lot of time popping with freak neat or with with laface records um atlanta's had a black middle class and rich niggas to be honest 120 years they have you know Alonzo Herndon Herman Russell John Wesley Dobbs you know I could literally just name a litany of people that literally were the highest of the high in America in terms of influences Vernon joint when you start looking at even on the conservative side Herman Cain when you start looking at a
Starting point is 02:20:42 black child who's all his heroes and villains look like him. If my grandparents were arguing over politics, it wasn't all white folk won't let her have. My great-grandfather was like, this nigga. Got control of this budget, baby. And my great-grandmother would be like, well, I'm still going to vote Democrat. And my great-grandfather was like, fuck them all.
Starting point is 02:21:00 You know what I mean? I grew up in a world that felt fair because my schools were black. My teachers were black. They went to black universities and colleges. They expected nothing but excellence out of us. I went to a school night for Frederick Douglass High School. Put me on a pathway straight to Morehouse.
Starting point is 02:21:16 Didn't have three white teachers my whole life. Didn't live under white rule my whole life. You know, when our white folks got money in Atlanta, that's definitely capitalism and politics work hand in hand. But they worked in a way that since Maynard Jackson, Maynard Jackson said, hey, I'm mayor of this city, you want to do business with this city, you got to have 29% black participation and ownership. All of a sudden, the bakery me and my
Starting point is 02:21:35 grandma used to go to, the lady that worked there became the 30% owner of the bakery. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, oh shit, this is how this works. So I just grew up in a place where the possibilities for black children were endless. Now, you understood that class was an issue. I knew I didn't have the money, say, that Russell's had. But I got the same education because I went to the same high school.
Starting point is 02:21:55 And I knew if I applied that education, I would be the first. I would be the Herman Russell of my family. You get what I'm saying? That was my next question. Are you, because you come from all of that, are you breaking any generational curses? No, because I don't have
Starting point is 02:22:09 generational curses. My great grandparents were sharecroppers that saved enough money. I just got the deed my aunt sent it to me. 1948, they bought a 30-acre farm.
Starting point is 02:22:19 That farm is still in our family. I don't say that generational curse shit because it'd be an insult to my great grandmother and my great grandfather that worked their ass off to leave us something. Talk about it. So the little $500 check that the lumber company
Starting point is 02:22:31 might send us in January, that ain't no curse. I just split that little $500, $125 per child, put it in the accounts. That's not a curse. My grandparents, we still own both the houses they own. I just bought my daughter a house behind my sister, so she lives in the same neighborhood I'm glad that I grew up in I don't accept the curse because there is no curse there's opportunity you know
Starting point is 02:22:53 do have to do this fucked up shit happen absolutely oh yeah you should have said it this way yeah yeah yeah and I don't you know I don't say God bless his soul but I in terms of me and how I view my life, what I see is endless opportunity. That does not mean I don't have challenges. That does not mean that I haven't walked through some valleys. But man, the peak of this mountain is beautiful, but I already see the next mountain. And to get to the next one, I got to crawl back down another valley and then crawl back up. You know, I returned.
Starting point is 02:23:22 I ran from religion. crawl back up you know um I returned I ran from religion and I returned in a lot of ways spiritually to the lessons my grandmother wanted me to get young and when I studied characters Jesus is one of the most amazing characters real or not whether you believe in terms of revolutionary love he he told his homeboys I gotta go fast and pray man his boys like man we we cooling we witch're Wichita. And then they went to sleep. They kicked it. So he up here.
Starting point is 02:23:48 He by himself. He hungry. He in the desert. And the devil pop up and say, man, what's up, man? You ain't got to do this shit. All these lame ass motherfucking folk. They ain't really believe in you anyway. They going to kill you.
Starting point is 02:24:01 Man, just let me give you the world. And he holds fast to the mission. man, just let me give you the world. And he holds fast to the mission. And the mission is simply to be nailed to a cross on the behalf of sins that's not even committed. And the last person he chooses to save is a self-confessed thief being killed next to him by the state. That is such a powerful message. Dare I not have the faith to push through hard times. Why would I complain? Why would I complain to God how much of an insult would that be to my grandmother who was educated in the deep? Dirty rural South how much of an insult would that be to my grandfather? Who had to drop out of school in third grade to raise his sisters and help his mother by working in a sawmill? What kind of disrespect would that be to my mother who graduated with me on her hip at the same high school that I graduated from? They tried to push
Starting point is 02:24:48 her out, say, go have the baby and come back, and she walked proud through the halls. I just don't have it in me. And I'm not saying that hard times ain't coming. I'm not saying that hard times ain't going to beat you down, but hard times will shape you and make you, man. It take a fire to bend metal. It takes steel to start from steel. So
Starting point is 02:25:03 I just don't accept that hard times not supposed to come. They gonna come. Has anybody ever told you that you could, you know, you should be a preacher? Don't do that. I mean, I feel like I'm looking at everybody. I'm saying preacher. I think you should be my GPS voice.
Starting point is 02:25:19 I'm so ready to run through a wall right now. Where's some white folks at? Where are these white New Yorkers? God damn it. I'm ready to to run through a wall right now. Where some white folks at? Where these white New Yorkers? God damn it. I'm ready to go. Literally, I'm looking at everybody, and everybody's just sitting here like nodding
Starting point is 02:25:32 and shaking their head. You are a captivating, prolific, you are an orator. Where you learn how to do that shit? Big boy, who taught you how to talk like this? Betty Clunt. It's my grandmother. My grandmother. Who they call Miss Betty.
Starting point is 02:25:47 That's why the generation is fucked. They ain't got grandparents no more. They ain't got no big nana. Miss Betty said. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana no more. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana.
Starting point is 02:25:53 They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana.
Starting point is 02:25:54 They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana.
Starting point is 02:25:54 They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana.
Starting point is 02:25:54 They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana.
Starting point is 02:25:55 They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain't got nana. They ain I was born, but she would say, boy, you anointed. And I'm like, mom, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to be anointed, mom. I want to smoke weed on two blue flags. And she said, and she would say to me, you can't run from God. You can't run from it. You can't keep running from God. And I just, I didn't know what she meant, but I knew I was running.
Starting point is 02:26:24 I was like a prodigal son I was just out in the world You know I was out hanging man I was rapping And I remember my last conversation We were on our way to Michael's Michael was five years old We were on our way to a black history event
Starting point is 02:26:39 They were doing at her pre-k And her mom was married at the time She said My grandmother said Why don't you um why don't you let her husband adopt michael and i said what the fuck you talking i never curse her what the fuck you talking about you say that to me and we went back and forth and i felt like and i understand that that was her last test of me and um she said after our conversation did i hurt your feelings i said yeah and this is
Starting point is 02:27:07 how she never said these two words i'm sorry you she usually say i beg your pardon or if your feelings hurt you know too bad but we were walking up a hill they wouldn't let us drive it here we were walking up a hill and she looked at me and she looked past me and she saw something i could see an eye she saw something she looked back at me and she smiled and she hug past me and she saw something. I could see in her eyes she saw something. She looked back at me and she smiled and she hugged me and she left. Now, I have been fighting like hell to get my career going. And after she left, it has never stopped. And that's when I understood it. Like, she was in communion with God and she was right. Like, I have a purpose. I don't know what it is, but I know God has a purpose for me. I'm on a journey I have a purpose. I don't know what it is, but I know God has a
Starting point is 02:27:45 purpose for me. I'm on a journey towards that purpose. And I don't know where the journey is taking me, but I know I'm on one. So I had to accept that my grandmother was right. I can't, I can't run from God. God has some purpose for my life. I'm not going to pretend to have all the answers or no, but I know that I'm leading a purpose-filled life. And I wish I could call him. You done made me go to an Atlanta church. Nah, that should be said. You got a calling on your life.
Starting point is 02:28:10 You got a calling. You be like, yo, go ahead with that. And what's crazy though is I've heard it and now you just have to accept that God knows. Mel, I think that Michael
Starting point is 02:28:23 is a great person to ask your little trap trick question that you tried to get me in some parts with earlier about black men and protecting black women. Yeah. So ABC is ABC primetime is going to air a special commemorating hip hop's 50 years. Yeah. Everybody's doing something for that. As they should and so i found myself in a round table with um angie martinez yes mc light yes june ambrose yep um sherry bryant yep and lola brooke and it was it was fantastic that sounds like it was really
Starting point is 02:28:58 great the one question that angie you know kind of threw up in the air for anybody to answer and we all kind of found like we're at a little bit of a loss is how can men in this industry in hip-hop help to support women full stop question or yeah yeah well let me let me first acknowledge Shanti Daz who was my first product manager. She went to my rival high school. She's my big sister. She's exited the music industry and now has Silence to Shame, which deals with people with mental health awareness, depression. I was going to ask you about Shanti as well and the whole mental health. Yes.
Starting point is 02:29:37 So my leader since I got in this has been a woman in terms of the person who helped me get acclimated. Her and Kawan prather um kp famous nr but i i don't know the biggest answer but on a on a fan level and on a child that grew up in hip-hop my mom was listening to to hip-hop first with the curtis blows the houdini things in nature but there's this there's this little girl. My mom would come up here doing illegal stuff. There's a little girl she met at about 14, 15 years old, and her name was Roxanne Shante. And Roxanne Shante was on her way to a boarding house up north, and she gave my mother a picture of herself. Not a headshot, and she sent it back to me and she
Starting point is 02:30:25 signed a record and Shantae was the most badass motherfucker and as a kid like you gotta think about it I love the fat boys I love Run DMC but this girl Roxanne Shantae was just foot so she's one of my biggest inspirations and all along the way Roxanne salt-and-N-Pepa, Latifah, whether you start talking about going out south, Gangsta Boo, Trina, Choice, even Too Short, who people would label
Starting point is 02:30:52 pimpish, misogynistic. He had enough sense to put girls on his records to retort. Luke and the 2 Live Crew did the same thing. I would argue hip-hop as an art form,
Starting point is 02:31:01 whether it's the funky 4 plus 1 or forward, hip-hop as an art form has whether it's the funky four plus one or forward, hip hop as an art form has been more equitable to women than any other art form because we needed the balance. There was always a retort record. If I'm the baddest motherfucking nigga alive was the song, then I'm the baddest bitch alive and that nigga serve me was the answer song. And what I've seen in hip-hop is
Starting point is 02:31:26 we've always been ahead of the curve. And now when I see all these women flourishing in terms of the young women as artists, I admire that. But behind the scenes, I've always seen companies packed with dynamic, strong women. If you was around Rockefeller,
Starting point is 02:31:41 you saw Emmanuel. You know what I'm saying? Now Emmanuel's leading video over at the Capitol somewhere. If you were at LaFace, you saw Shanti. And it wasn't just a one-off. So I would say we always can do better. We always can get another inch out of the yard. But don't forget to congratulate ourselves.
Starting point is 02:31:59 Angie Martinez's name has held weight for over 30 years in this. You know what I'm saying? So for me, I just want, sometimes we try to, you know, my grandfather was telling me, stay out of white folk business. Sometimes we want to be so in white folk business and it's like, you ain't white,
Starting point is 02:32:14 you're just a white man. White folk business means corporate, the money, the people control. Sometimes they put out narratives and we just run to be a part of the narrative. But women have been leading in hip-hop they are the lead of hip-hop is i don't know who is the lead but i know that in terms from an organizational standpoint who helped put the parties together who are the promoters who were the and then when you get down to the artists who was badder than roxanne i tell you when she dropped nobody who the fuck was gonna talk shit
Starting point is 02:32:43 to latifah right nobody you know who was gonna try Trina at her height who else could've talked shit back to Trina so for me we have as an art form
Starting point is 02:32:51 been better at it and we should congratulate ourselves while pushing to be more you know that's what I think
Starting point is 02:32:57 I got five sisters too so I know when to shut the fuck up you gonna be my publicist nah Mike gonna be my publicist man shouts Mike is going to be my publicist. Man,
Starting point is 02:33:06 shout out to you and my boy Sleep, who I know since I said it. Y'all got the, Sleep, you reminded me of Sleep right now with the sound of the toes. I like you, Joe.
Starting point is 02:33:13 I fuck with Sleep. I'm going to sleep with you next time. You on some player shit, man. Listen, when you stopped me in that airport, that meant a lot to me. Oh, man, thank you, bro.
Starting point is 02:33:21 That meant a lot to me. You was sick as a dog. I was nervous about even stopping you, you know what I mean? But I really, man, you was always kind. That meant a lot to me. You was sick as a dog. I was nervous about even stopping you, you know what I mean? But I really, man, you was always kind and gracious. I appreciate you. No, I always bumped into the best rappers in the world in the airport. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:33:32 Never in talking about my career, but in the airport, it's like, oh, shit. You're getting money now. You're moving around. On the way from Heathrow. No, I was bad. I was bad. I was bad. I wasn't my best self.
Starting point is 02:33:44 I was in a bad mood, bad everything. If I was in the airport moving around, I hated it. No, I was bad. I was bad. I was bad. I wasn't in, I wasn't my best self. I was in a bad mood, bad everything. If I was in the airport moving around, I hated it. Yeah. I hated it. I hated having to get
Starting point is 02:33:51 on a plane, travel, make some money, hosting, all of this. I hated all of it. Back then? Yeah,
Starting point is 02:33:56 when I was in the midst of it. It beats you up, man. People don't, like, people don't understand that part of it. Like, I couldn't have done
Starting point is 02:34:01 Michael moving around. Like, like, like, like, what the old folks say? God will set you still. I talked to the
Starting point is 02:34:09 Dalai Lama before he was asking my boys to suck his tongue. I talked to the Dalai Lama in person. I'm not with that shit. I did it on Zoom. Holler at that nigga on Zoom. You ain't spoken to him since that, right? Nah, I don't fuck with a nigga if you do that. That was kind of crazy.
Starting point is 02:34:24 God bless you, my nigga. Hope you put it together. I don't fuck with a nigga after you do that. That was kind of crazy. God bless you, my nigga. Hope you put it together. I can't fuck with that, my nigga. No, sir. No, sir. But I asked him for advice, you know, on how to put ego aside
Starting point is 02:34:36 of people just to get along. And he said, you have to put your ego to the side of your thoughts and just come in the room with love. And essentially, that was the same thing
Starting point is 02:34:43 my grandmother had told me my whole life. And that's when I realized, nigga, God has blessed you to live with the wisdom you're seeking. So just find it. So my grandmother tell me stuff like, God has set you still. Or when it's raining, be still when the Lord is working. I've learned that essentially that's meditation. Essentially that's prayer and looking in.
Starting point is 02:35:02 A lot of y'all folk who paying, again, the white folk, y'all paying these big corporations for books and stuff and learning, meditating, retreats. Go listen to Reverend Knight. Go to YouTube. Pull up Reverend Knight and listen to what he tells you about God being in you and something divine in you. That old good-ass motherfucker was on his issue. You know, my grandfather didn't fuck with him, so I tried not to fuck with him. My grandmama were right on that one, Granddaddy. She was right, man. I had a point, man. My mother didn't fuck with him, so I tried not to fuck with him. My grandmama were right on that one, Granddaddy. She was right, man. I had a
Starting point is 02:35:28 point, man. My mother ain't fuck with him either. What do you say to, because I know you be on your activist political party shoes, running around with Bernie Sanders. Yeah. Oh, man. Shout to Bernie. Tell me, give me some early predictions on what this next election is going to look like.
Starting point is 02:35:43 I have no national predictions. I would say people should watch Cornel West for what he's saying. And people should watch the Kennedy that's running for what they're saying. Because they're going to say things that are off the map or off the grid. But they're going to spark you to think. And you should be trying to follow people who're going to spark you to think and you should be trying to follow people who are going to make you think you're still probably going to end up voting
Starting point is 02:36:08 Democrat or Republican because those are the mafia families those are the oligarchs but I would listen to the people shouting dissent from the sidelines that are acclimated so I'd listen to Cornell and I'd listen to the
Starting point is 02:36:22 I think it's Ted Kennedy I'd listen to the Kennedy I listened to the, to, um, I think it's Ted Kennedy. I listened to the Kennedy. Um, I listened because they are saying stuff that, that is not the status quo, but it's relevant. And, um, you know, like Kennedy, um, literally had some NOI members hit me up, just say, Hey, I want to talk to you guys about vaccines. You know, he knew we probably just wouldn't listen to some white guy calling so so what's the deal vaccines and I'm not saying I'm pro or against any that was just that I didn't know the
Starting point is 02:36:51 vaccines affected black boys in the way they did you know higher higher rates of autism studies hadn't been fully done and I think it's important and when people say well shut the fuck up my great-grandfather's father was used in a Tuskegee experiment So you can't you can't tell me what not to listen to because your family hasn't been harmed by the United States government In the same way mine is you know I mean so I'm listening to everything and everyone But I'm listening to the people who are shouting dissent from the sidelines now what I would Encourage people to do is get off the national soap opera soapbox of who's going to win and Trump's going to take us into and Biden's going to.
Starting point is 02:37:32 And who is your city council? The local, the local, hyper local, though. Who is your city council person? Who is your police commissioner? Who is the chief that your mayor appoints? What is your mayor's policy on affordable housing? You know, those are the things that matter because those are the things that are taught to you and i didn't i didn't learn this you know in a political science class in high school or college i learned this because my grandmother who was 54 i mean 54 when i was 10 she was the person taking my ass to city council means and i gotta sit there i'm listening to her and her friends talk complain about the sanitation route until it gets fixed. And if the mayor didn't add the city council didn't work, she walked right across the hall and sit in the goddamn mayor's office.
Starting point is 02:38:10 So the mayor's came out. Yeah. And it's just like, God, I'm going to get an answer. Two kids got hit right here. We need to stop some. And they're going to poly till they get to stop. So that is how political change happens. And I'll give you a perfect example. Chief Judge Asha Jackson is in DeKalb County. Asha's been my friend since we were 11 years old.
Starting point is 02:38:30 Asha was damn near homeless her last two years of high school. But she was so determined, she pushed all of us to put in our college applications to go to school. She went to Buffalo,
Starting point is 02:38:39 went to school, got a degree, came back home, studied law, is now Chief Judge in DeKalb County. She got tired of seeing people's life be ruined over bullshit, studied law, is now chief judge in DeKalb County. She got tired of seeing people's life be ruined
Starting point is 02:38:46 over bullshit, first offense, you fucked it up. She said, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to create a program where I'm going to give you one year to straighten your shit up. If after one year you haven't straightened your shit up, then I'm going to send your ass to jail. But if you straighten your shit up, we're going to wipe that clean.
Starting point is 02:39:00 We're going to get you your diplomas. We're going to get you on an opportunity to improve. That system works so well that our now Republican governor appointed a Democratic woman named Ms. Ali from juvenile court over that program to be statewide, to end recidivism. So a Democratic judge gives a prototype for something that will work in a county, and a county known to nailing your ass to the wall to the county didn't play. That prototype graduates kids that that would have been. And that just wants to teach us young people that have made mistakes. That program is now being emulated by another black woman.
Starting point is 02:39:39 And that person was appointed by a Republican governor who happens to be a white man. Politics is not the Dallas Cowboys versus the Washington Redskins or the Commanders. Politics is in being pragmatic about my approach. What will help? Who can I ally with? All your allies ain't your friends, and all your friends ain't going to be your allies. But if you start hyperlocally like Chief Judge Asha Jackson did, it can go statewide when mandated by a governor that we have in now to another black woman who's now taking that statewide.
Starting point is 02:40:07 And that's what I mean about do it hyper locally and watch it grow. Whatever solutions are going to come are not going to come from the top down. The top is too busy worried about the top. You know what I mean? And it's going to take something for the base to fix it. When you say we have free breakfast programs in public schools, you know why we have free breakfast programs? Because the Black Panthers
Starting point is 02:40:28 freed kids for free. And it embarrassed the government. The government said, if these Negroes keep feeding these children, they're not going to listen to us. So we better feed them. Stay hyper-local and watch how the world changes.
Starting point is 02:40:41 Speaking of feeding, speaking of feeding, we got to go hunting. Yeah, we do. I haven't been in some years since my wife won't let me go with my white friends. I got invited by some of my white friends
Starting point is 02:40:51 and I won't go either. We're going to get a committee. We're going to get a committee of like eight black guys, right? And then we're going to get with eight our white homies and then we're going to go. We're going to go.
Starting point is 02:41:02 It's going to be like a mix, like a desegregation Boy Scout crew. We on it. We on it. I and then we're going to go. We're going to go. It's going to be like a mixed, like a desegregation Boy Scout crew. We on it. We on it. I know. I definitely want to go. Have you cooked things that you cooked before? Well, I'm a real traditionalist.
Starting point is 02:41:14 I'm going to kill it. I'm going to catch it, but I ain't going to cook it. That's my wife. She's a good cook. Can I ask what you've hunted and killed before? Mainly deer, because they overpopulate in the South. So when you're young, your uncle will take you on a deer hunt. Hogs.
Starting point is 02:41:28 Not wild hogs, but we slaughtered. They overpopulate in the South. Imagine how they feel about y'all. Yeah, wild hogs. They overpopulate. Wild hogs are pivot. When I was younger, rabbit. But whatever the thing is, whatever you kill, you got to eat.
Starting point is 02:41:43 So I didn't want to kill no squirrels. Is that like a rule? Yeah, whatever. If you kill it, you got to eat. So I didn't want to kill no squirrels. Is that like a rule? Yeah. If you kill it, you got to eat it. You should. Because why'd you kill it? That's what they all do. Why'd you kill it? Otherwise, you're just sadistic.
Starting point is 02:41:53 Some people hunt for, you know, a trophy, but I've always considered that. I don't believe in it. Got it. Got it. That's right. Have you seen any of these headlines running around about Sukiyama and the young man, YK Osiris? I saw it come on. Do you believe he should be charged for sexual harassment?
Starting point is 02:42:12 Since Mel wanted to pretty the question up with all that MC Light shit. I want to get to it. I don't know if he should be charged for sexual harassment. I know he needs to be educated on no meaning no. And I think that in this new age of men and women, we're going to have to figure out
Starting point is 02:42:36 how to educate. Our grandparents had to court one another. You didn't get to just be alone with the girl you liked. Mother sit right here in the middle when y'all sat on the couch. Chaperone. There's a famous scene in The Godfather when Michael, when he marries the Italian girl,
Starting point is 02:42:50 when he's courting her, he's walking, and then you see all her moms and aunts walking behind her. So we're out of that, and we're in the post-edit. So now it's just like, you know, you got to understand what's pretend. You know, I understand he's a fun-loving kid, but I don't think he understands that just like Wacky Osiris is a creation of your imagination, Sukiyama is an extension of her imagination. You know, I understand he's a fun loving kid, but I don't think he understands that just like why K.O. Cyrus is a creation of your imagination. Sukiyama is an extension of her imagination. She's still a woman.
Starting point is 02:43:10 And once a woman says no, if a dancer says don't touch me, don't fucking touch it. You know, and with that said, you also know when you're involved in entertainment, those lines are going to be blurred and people are going to get it fucked up. And it can be a teaching moment. That's the grace. You know, that's the grace. That right there is the grace. That's what Meek was trying to speak to, but he can't speak to it.
Starting point is 02:43:39 But Meek be having good intentions. Yeah, no, no, no. He be trying to speak to it, but that's the part. When you're dealing with entertainment, good and TV yeah no no he's trying to speak to it but that's yeah part when you deal him with entertainment be ready for misunderstandings and blurred line yeah yeah and I'm gonna refer to my teachers and it's not excusing him either no no I'm not excusing anything I'm saying I'm just saying no we have to
Starting point is 02:44:00 or we don't have to but I would like for us to show each other some grace because nobody else does no nobody's gonna show each other some grace because nobody else does. No, nobody's going to show that black man grace. And nobody, to be frank, is going to show that black woman grace. You know, they're going to use them against each other in some capacity. They're going to pit them against each other. But just like the dancers in the flame have taught me since I've been trying to sneak in there. Me, I'm going to go to the flame with your ass.
Starting point is 02:44:22 Yeah, absolutely. Nah, dead ass. Yeah, yeah. But a lot of them were women, and they taught us young, hey, hey, if I say don't touch me, baby, don't touch me now. I'm dancing for you. Now, this is what you do when you're 16. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 02:44:33 Because your little hands dirty. Yes, sir. You want to put them places they're not supposed to be. They ain't wash your nails. You get what I'm saying? Can't clean your nails out. Yeah, yeah. So we learned the hard way.
Starting point is 02:44:42 We just didn't learn on camera. But I would invite people to just start having honest conversations. You know what I'm saying? To like talk to your big cousins who girls who attractive and say, hey, man, what's this like? What's what's player? Because what we've lost is player. We don't have players no more. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 02:44:59 We don't have players. They're not keeping it P. That shit he did wasn't P. A player. At all. And after the first one A player would've said Oh shit my bad
Starting point is 02:45:06 My bad I ain't no baby I was just trying to You know what I mean But I got it confused You can learn something From everybody Look at our pimps
Starting point is 02:45:15 It ain't pimps on the street No more But when we were young In Atlanta Pimp culture PSC Pimp culture was big And our skating rink
Starting point is 02:45:23 Was right down Metropolitan So you got You got the Purple Onion And Club Nickies Across the street You got our skating rink was right down metropolitan so you got you got the purple onion and club nickies across the street you got the skating rink here and then on off days the skating rink was literally just a whorehouse it was just Cadillacs and girls and you get to watch but you will see a pimp approach a woman and her fuse say what shit I'm just trying to get you but he never gonna touch her he's not gonna grab her arm and say come talk to me Like some of y'all
Starting point is 02:45:45 Country motherfuckers When the girls Walking down the strip on Miami Keep your fucking hands to yourself If she interested She gonna choose And when she chews up It's gonna be better
Starting point is 02:45:53 Than you trying to force You know that gorilla pimp shit And that non-player shit It's just It's not player So Go talk to your uncles Who seem to be cool
Starting point is 02:46:01 But more than that Talk to your cousins Your auntie Talk to your mama And that way You will. But more than that, talk to your cousins, your auntie. Talk to your mama. And that way you will learn how to be a player, man, about shit. And you won't take it personal if she tell you no or she don't want to touch you and shit like that, you know. She's doing the same thing you're doing. She's just playing a character, making sure her bag is there for her at the end of the day, you know.
Starting point is 02:46:20 But I hope that they both, you know, I hope that he gets some grace out of this and learns and matures up. You know, I hope Sukiyama much success to her because, you know, they own her too. They say she danced on a 10-year-old boy. They want to charge her. And I'm just like, hey. Yeah, yeah. I'm just, man, I thank God my mama friend danced on me at 10. Shit. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:46:39 Thank you, Big Booty Cutie. Thank you. You didn't have to worry. But why? Why? Tell the audience why. Well, I didn't know how to dance. And my mommy taught me how to dance. But you can only get so with your mommy. And then her friends say, your mama said, but you put your hair. Like this is what my mom said.
Starting point is 02:46:56 My mom said, you put your hair on her waist. You hold her like this. And you know what I'm saying? But her friend said, but if she likes you likes you she's gonna do this to your hand and that's how I knew she liked me because she put my hand on her plate not her friend but the girl I was dancing with at school her friend
Starting point is 02:47:13 gave me the extra my oldest son mama cursed me the fuck out when I had some little young things dance with my son the dad's apparently not supposed to do it that's what I'm saying, yo. It's a fucking double standard going.
Starting point is 02:47:28 I was trying to teach the vibe. It's a vibe. We teaching. She didn't get that. Hey, listen. She didn't get that. I remember calling my son, Pony, God of Age. I said, hey, man, you want to go to the, you want me to take you to the flame?
Starting point is 02:47:41 You want to? Man, this little cool nigga was already in club Blaze. He was like, I'm at Blaze with my friend. He was like, really, daddy? This shit kind of lame. I was like, for real? Like, you already played. His big brother, whose mom is more in the church,
Starting point is 02:47:53 was a little more square. You know what I'm saying? His big brother, I still ain't took to the flame. I'm like, this nigga lose his mind. I don't want to destroy my son's soul. You know what I mean? But I got to take him when I go home. Got to.
Starting point is 02:48:03 He just broke up. He broke up and he got back with his girl. So I said, I need to go. I need to go show him the only cure for breaking up with your girl is another girl in some capacity. So they back together, though, thankfully. I might just take both of them to the front. There you go. Sound like you in support of the reunion.

Starting point is 02:55:09 When I get mature enough to pick out a mentor, will you mentor me? Word. No, no bullshit. Will you mentor me? I'm going to get your phone out.
Starting point is 02:55:17 I want to talk to you more. I would like to talk to Joe Boyd more than I did. I want to text you more. I won't be annoying. I promise I won't be annoying. Nah,
Starting point is 02:55:24 just hit me. I'll fuck with you, Joe. It easy. I don't come to Atlanta because I ain't be annoying. I promise I won't be annoying. Nah, man, just hit me. I'll fuck with you, Joe. It easy. I don't come to Atlanta because I ain't got too many niggas. Well, I got a thing about where y'all could just carry your gun around wherever.
Starting point is 02:55:32 I do have a thing about that. Well, I mean, Joe, we are in a nation where we own the 13th percent of the population. Only 40 million people, 300 million people in this country.
Starting point is 02:55:40 You'd be, you know, you'd be, it's not smart not to be trained and armed. It's not smart. You know, I live in Atlanta, but know, you'd be, it's not, it's not smart not to be trained and armed. It's not smart. You know, I live in Atlanta, but Atlanta's in Georgia. Yeah. Yeah. I come to Atlanta a lot.
Starting point is 02:55:51 Yeah. I would like for you to mentor me as well. Wait, I don't want. Let us hang out. Wait, why are you fucking mentor riding? She need him. Get you because you'll get your ass back with MC Lyte. Get your ass with Angie and them.
Starting point is 02:56:04 No, she need them. She need them. She need them, yo. Come on now. I don't want that to sound like I'm not in support of gun rights. I am in support of gun rights. But when I hear stories like what happened with Chaka, I love you, Chaka.
Starting point is 02:56:17 Chaka's out to Chaka. That stuff scares me. But the main thing. In New York, they so strict with that stuff where you can go in a building and it's a little safe to assume. Yeah, but I challenge that on New York because I see a lot of white boys up here with guns. Like, no, that's true. Let's see what you do.
Starting point is 02:56:34 I want to financial check. We fired a few years ago. She had just helped a white boyfriend. He is going to go. This thing I know he's not a CEO. He's not a ceo he's not a policeman so i honestly think in the northeast in particular whatever liberal white people run politics black people are being shorted i'm gonna tell you that when it comes to your rights because the new york gun law says you can't have a long rifle right
Starting point is 02:56:56 but i bet you on long island they're ak-47s i bet you they're shotguns i bet you ar-15s because if you get it to your house it it's legal. It's just a transport. So who stands the greater chance of being stopped in transport? Us. That's true. Us. That's all. So that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 02:57:13 So for me, I'm a strict constitutionalist in matters of what are promised in terms. Thanks to Ms. Ellison. Peg-legged teacher. She had an amputated leg. But she was mean as shit. She flunked my mama. She threatened to flunk me. But she made me love our Bill of Rights and Constitutions
Starting point is 02:57:32 and understand that as it's written, ask for it that way. Because that means everybody gets it the same. It's a shame for me that there are more roadblocks in my neighborhood than in Elle's neighborhood. See, L ain't going to get no roadblocks driving out in his neighborhood. L ain't going to get stopped. So L going to get his shotgun. When I stop, when I get stopped, I'm going to have to tell the officer where actually I hunt. I'm going to have to give him a goddamn story. What I love about Georgia is they just, hey, you got a gun. Ain't nothing wrong. Thanks for letting me know.
Starting point is 02:58:03 Here's your ticket. Have a good evening. I get nervous once I get north of the Mason-Dixie because I know there's guns in the room. It's just not on me. Fuck that. Respect. Respect. No, it's just, but I'm coming out there. I want you to come out, man. Come get me.
Starting point is 02:58:20 I'm coming. We going to Flame. We going to the, I'm going to take you to the High Museum. I'm on the board of the High. The High has these nights Where they play music And they drink And kind of kick it It's a
Starting point is 02:58:29 It's a You know It's a white institution Of course But it's 54% Of the people who go there Look like us They have
Starting point is 02:58:37 A cool night So I want you to come That's the shit with Atlanta That's the shit with Atlanta And D.C. When you go to Atlanta You'll get black excellence more than most places in the country.
Starting point is 02:58:48 And when people think black excellence, though, they think like the biggest Jay-Z rappers. No, I ain't talking about no rappers. But what I'm talking about- I'm talking about black excellence. The nigga who worked for the city making 70 bands, he got a $300,000 house,
Starting point is 02:59:00 he got an old school, he got a new car, his wife good. That, to me, that's excellence. That's excellence, that's excellent because they children getting a good education. They going to fertilize the next generation. That's it for me. Tyler Perry,
Starting point is 02:59:12 man, got an old Confederate. Come on, man. It don't happen in no other place. Atlanta and D.C., yo. It's a book, though, I want y'all to get called The Devil You Know by Charles Blow. Fifty four percent of all African-Americans live in the South.
Starting point is 02:59:37 So Atlanta can be replicated. Birmingham, Montgomery, Charlotte, Columbia, Jacksonville, Savannah, Macon, Tampa. We have a lot of other places because Atlanta didn't just happen. It was plotted out. You know, John Wesley Dobbs was around in the 40s and 50s. His grandson in the 70s becomes mayor. His grandson mandates a certain amount of city contracts. That creates a bigger millionaire class, a bigger upper class that creates a bigger middle class and working class. We can replicate this in other places, but we have to go forth knowing that this is the plan. And Atlanta is not the best in terms of it's not perfect. I think it's the best amongst us, but it's not perfect. But just like we're trying to create a more perfect union with this country, I believe that there are cities throughout the South with the economic potential to give us a more perfect version of what Atlanta is.
Starting point is 03:00:20 Let me ask you a question. Do you think that because I have the same argument, but I always group Atlanta with D.C. And I attribute that level of success because Atlanta and D.C. have more colleges, especially black institutions, than most places in the country. So when people go to school, you go to the closest metropolis to get jobs. That's Atlanta for y'all. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 03:00:46 Just in Atlanta, y'all got Clark, y'all got Morehouse, Spellman, all of these black institutions. Morris Brown as well. So in D.C., you got Morgan, you got Coppin, you got Howard, you got Del State. Don't forget Hampton over in Virginia. Yeah, all of that stuff. So they go straight to D.C., which is the biggest metropolis to get jobs.
Starting point is 03:01:00 So you see the black families. How do you think that that could be replicated without, and I'm not shooting at nobody that didn't get a college education, but that is definitely one of the catalysts. Most of the HBCUs are in the South. Exactly. But not as prevalent as Atlanta got. It doesn't have to be as prevalent in Atlanta. It just has to be there to be relevant. You just have to look at FAMU. Tallahassee ain't a big town. to be there to be relevant. You just have to look at FAMU. Tallahassee ain't a big town.
Starting point is 03:01:26 Tallahassee got Florida State and Tallahassee got FAMU. So what you do is you take your ass to FAMU. You do the best you can. You get off campus. You go communicate. Get cool with the people at Florida State. Especially get cool with the athletes so they can marry somebody
Starting point is 03:01:39 that look like their mama. Get your black ass off that Florida State campus. Get over to FAMU campus. Go have some relations with somebody that look like you Because what I don't want to happen is when you're generational Wealthy and after you die Nigga I want it to come back to the community in some capacity But I believe
Starting point is 03:01:54 I have a good friend that went to Hampton She is She is a person It actually got me hooked up with my stylist so thank you for that They both went to Hampton They're DC kids right. kids, right? But they're D.C. kids that understood that the world wasn't D.C.,
Starting point is 03:02:11 so they got out and seen more of the world, but they used the competence and the confidence to walk in rooms with their head up, already assured I'm good enough. So you can go get a job in D.C., you can go get a job in DC, you can go get a job in Atlanta, but beyond the job, the fact that you know you can start business, the fact that you know you can start consulting, the fact that you know you can land somewhere else and recreate on a micro level what you grew up in, that's the more powerful thing. Because Atlanta wasn't always Atlanta.
Starting point is 03:02:43 Atlanta at one point, black people were not the majority there. We were significant enough numbers to grow, but the numbers grow. The neighborhood I grew up in was an all white neighborhood at first. Black people say, we ain't going to fight white folks that live next to them. We're going to offer everybody a 30% markup on their house. We're going to push them further out. And the Collier Heights was created. People say, for real?
Starting point is 03:03:03 I never thought that. I say, man, our next door neighborhood is named Dixie Hills. You think a bunch of niggas would have named their neighborhood Dixie Hills? You know what I mean? So I'm just telling black folks, it don't happen in one quick stroke.
Starting point is 03:03:13 It may take some time, but have the confidence that you're competent enough to do it. So whether you go to Howard or Hampton, whether you go to Clark or Morehouse, just know that whether you root, set your roots there and grow it there, or you take it somewhere else, it's needed. You know, Tuskegee is this big.
Starting point is 03:03:31 Literally, Tuskegee, the town of Tuskegee is this big. Only hotel in the town. Shit, it's probably still on the college campus. But look how Tuskegee has affected the world. You know, and that's what I want us to understand, that we need you growing up in positive black places. And it doesn't have to be college we need trade school you think about tuskegee the kids that built the buildings they built the bricks they made the bricks themselves so tuskegee was as good as teaching you how to be
Starting point is 03:03:53 a brick mason or carpenter as it was to teach you how to be a high tradesman like a doctor or an engineer and i think that we need to start paying attention to trades Our children need to know how to build houses and skyscrapers because I don't give a fuck how many robots get made. Somebody's going to have to know the trade of how to wire that motherfucker up. You're right. Congratulations to Georgia Youth Build.
Starting point is 03:04:17 They are a Georgia Youth Build and Next Level Academy are two organizations I support. Next Level Boys Academy, ran by Gary Davis, is conflict resolution. It is getting boys together who are on a road to criminality, getting them redirected and out of the court system.
Starting point is 03:04:38 Georgia Youth Build is one of my favorites because it takes kids from 14 to 24, gets them their high school diplomas and GEDs, and then gives them a trade, partners them with a union, and then gets them union wage jobs. And they graduate today. I was supposed to be doing a commencement ceremony, but I said, fuck them kids. I'm with Joe Brady. No, no, no.
Starting point is 03:04:56 No, I love them. But I love them, though. I appreciate it. I love those kids. They doing their thing. And just the more I hear him speak, and I'm done. I'm it. I love those kids. They doing their thing. And it's just, the more I hear him speak, and I'm done.
Starting point is 03:05:08 I'm done talking to this nigga. But the more I hear him speak, I'm so blown away that he never took Killer off his name. I tried. I tried. I tried. I'm surprised somebody
Starting point is 03:05:18 didn't make you do that, yo. I tried. I tried. I tried. I mean, first of all, I earned the name Killer. I didn't wake up. You know, a nine-year-old Mike. Man, Melissa, I wanted to be Handsome Mike.
Starting point is 03:05:29 When Kim Walton kissed me on my fucking cheek in third grade, and I think my mom had like a lame-ass Jerry curl on some of my hair. She was just like, you cute. And I was like, bitch, I'm the shit. You know what I mean? I would have been Handsome Mike. But Double D, they used to throw

Starting point is 03:05:51 my partners didn't come and they was just talking shit and so I battled them motherfuckers. I slayed them and Double D was like, man,
