Starting point is 00:03:48 Don't come. I'm talking about my head. That was an ad. I'm trying to be proactive. Yo, I am so confused, but I'm listening, because this is funny, and I'm letting it rock. If it was by your lip, what would you do? Put a bandit?
Starting point is 00:04:00 You can't come up here and talk about your lemon scrub and all your seven days. Wait, why don't we try with that? What?

If somebody saw you, a dude, and asked you about your skin regimen, you wouldn't answer or you'd feel weird? I'd be like, yo, I got some products. You think he want to fuck you?
Starting point is 00:05:38 No, nigga. Come on. Then where are you? I don't understand why men can't do that. If somebody, all right, let's say. Because we normally ugly. Keep it a buck. Keep it a buck. If you, all right, let's say. Because we normally ugly. Keep it a buck. Keep it a buck.

Starting point is 00:06:21 and all this shit we're on camera that's why I got the skincare regimen that I upgraded. What do y'all say to that? Nutrazine.

Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm trying to tell you. My skin is fucked up, so I feel insecure about that. So if you're in front of a camera, of course you have a right to feel that way. But us as men, we can't express our vulnerabilities, my nigga. No, that's wrong. I know. It's the truth. Then why are y'all enforcing wrong shit?
Starting point is 00:07:03 What makes it wrong? This is society, nigga. It's okay to carry yourself. It's not a safe space for men, my nigga. We're not promoting it, nigga. I'm not disagreeing. It was born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline.

Starting point is 00:12:05 It's like when the girl takes her man off her Instagram page, swoop right in. Bye, mom. Got him. You know what happened, yo? Long time stranger. You know that's what they're doing to me? Yo, you stupid, Joe. I get highly offended at that move.

Starting point is 00:12:50 That's not for you. It's for them. Good point. It's for Ish. It's for the rest of the niggas. We see. Yeah, but see, my brain go back to all them pictures I didn't want to take. That you forced me to take.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Yeah. Which is all of them. Yeah. So now they got to keep to take. Yeah. Which is all of them. Yeah. So now they got to keep them forever? Yeah, but you leave the pictures that I took of you. That's foul. Those aren't memories? I know, but if it's traumatic to anything related to you,
Starting point is 00:13:19 you got to... All the pictures I took where I bodied that shit. No, I was down on the ground trying to get to them. It's not traumatic. That's not it. I'm letting the world know we back outside. When they cut the bat signal on to let Batman know, hey, swoop in, my nigga. That's what this is.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Then when I got the courage enough to say something about it after it had long passed and meant nothing anymore, I was like, yo, you deleted the pics. How'd that go over? Yeah. Said no. Archive. Archive. Archive. Who knew that? How'd that go over? Yeah Said no Arcade Arcade Who knew that? Girls and stone cold killers
Starting point is 00:13:51 Girls and stone cold killers Go wind it up Wind up the battle She found We're here It's gonna be funny forever now yo No stop It's gonna be funny forever You, yo. Yo, stop. That shit is going to be funny forever.
Starting point is 00:14:05 You got to stop. Stop. I archived, though. Oh, yeah. Word. All right. That's what you did. Archived this.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Archived this. Hey, yo. Oh, shit. All right, Queensflip, do not stand with these fellas. Refer to the first thing in the pod. Yeah, don't skip the tagline in front of the pod. I'm going to put it right back there, actually, too. Ish, I see you out here, man.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Stop, stop that shit. Ish, I'm proud of you, man. Thank you, sir. She's a type. Thank you, sir. I hate him, y'all. I hate him. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah, come on. Honest person would tell you the truth if you ask them. Right. A transparent person will show you the truth if you just look. If you look, I will show you. Yeah. But a vulnerable person will offer you the truth and you never have to reach for it. That's good.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And so you want to be able to be honest but see if we're in a marriage yeah and i'm just honest with you that's not enough because you have to know what to ask me right right and and so if i don't feel like i'm getting the answers because i never asked i don't feel safe then I'm technically not wrong here right right but like right if you kind of see something is wrong with my lip or my eyes right now like my eyes so my eye is low so you can see and if you're looking then I'll tell you like you know this is going on with my eye I got points in the face right you're looking you can see so I'm showing you but vulnerability says you don't see what's going on in the internal, and I just want to tell you something that you don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Talk to him. And you wouldn't even know to ask, even if you... Talk to him. Even on a good day. So to be vulnerable is to offer, and that is risky. It's so risky, because you don't know what's going to come of that. Absolutely. As the person who's being vulnerable, you don't know what comes of it.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Is that person going to shame you, ridicule you? Is it going to come back in another conversation? Don't cry. You're breathing. What the fuck are you doing? What are you doing? Exercise? No, I'm just taking it in.

Starting point is 00:45:33 No cause he should snuff me if I say it No cause you should snuff me if I say it For real Which bus did you ride No Why the fuck would somebody want four kids? Oh, shit. Who the fuck has three kids and says,
Starting point is 00:45:55 I want a few more of these shits running around? This guy is nuts. Kids? Oh, my God, yo. They don't give a fuck about us. This guy is nuts. Kids. Oh, my God, yo. They don't give a fuck about us. This guy, yo. What's wrong with you? They don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:46:11 He had an attitude when niggas brought their kids to work. That's what it is, nigga. I'm seeing that shit in real time. Yo, dog, pass me that. No. Wait, wait, wait. Huh? I made you.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I ain't about to argue with you, dog. Oh, shit. All right. What else needs our intellect? Music, Ice? Only thing that dropped for me was Vaughn album. Okay. How was it?
Starting point is 00:46:36 How was it? It's a posthumous album. I had low expectations, and it was better than I expected. Really? Yeah. Certain artists, this is a lot of what we know as old records. and it was better than I expected. Really? Yeah. I don't, certain artists when they, like this is a lot of what we know as old records, but you have two type of posthumous albums.
Starting point is 00:46:54 It's the kind where we had records done and just in the vault and the kind where we had some verses here and there and we went and kind of. Put it together. Strung them together. Yeah, just threw the shit together. This was the first. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:04 So like a lot of these records, he premiered on, I mean, he was, like, teasing on Instagram years ago and stuff like that. So, it was good to get a bunch of these. I'm actually going to play one as a sleeper today. But overall, I like this Posthumous album better than the last one. Because it's the second one now. I do think with these songs right do think with these with these songs right here coming out that the vault should be about dry so I'm interested to see but overall I mean it's what I would expect from him and I think they was using AI
Starting point is 00:47:35 or some shit to do these videos cuz I doubt they shot these videos three years ago you eight out of ten no I'm not rating it yet. The album just came out this morning. Got it. I'm done with that. Okay. I got to sit with music now. How many more listens?
Starting point is 00:47:53 Oh, this will be played. That's Iceman. Got it. This will be played. Put it that way. It's not one of them albums where I heard it and I'm like, this just ain't do it for me. This will be played for me. I like the album, but I'm not giving it a rating yet
Starting point is 00:48:06 um i didn't see much else that dropped it's pretty baby shop project i didn't listen to it all the way through yet it's like 25 songs yeah it's a lot well there's a lot of skits though too oh okay but it sounded solid from what i heard i don't have no deep dive either it was quite weak for music though overall i didn't find any singles but like it was quiet. I saw, I didn't hear the record, but I saw something that was interesting that stood out to me. It's a City Girls record, but it says City Girls and JT. That's how the record is, that's what the artist,
Starting point is 00:48:37 it says City Girls and JT. Hmm. And I didn't hear the song, but just seeing that looked, because JT is one of the City Girls. Right. So I don't understand what that came about. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Maybe she's doing a solo album or something. I don't know. We'll watch it. I'm just saying that that was interesting. It is interesting. I don't know. I'm not their demo. Maybe the fans might know more,
Starting point is 00:49:00 but it was just interesting to see City Girls and JT on one song. That's all I got for music. I don't know if y'all people did anything. What we got here? Talk to me. What we got? Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:49:20 All right, you know what that is, so I'ma just get to the part we gotta get to Coco, right? And Cole, uh-oh Oh, we got a feature? Since you've been gone, everything been a mess You got a hold on this thing in my chest, babe Oh my God But I won't settle for anything less
Starting point is 00:49:43 But you know that our chemistry make up the set So let's make up, put it to bed Oh my god. I know who this is. It's Justin. Timberlake. Sounding like... He's smoking, man. Oh, oh, oh You know we both grow There's no way that we could grow apart, babe Maybe, just maybe, yeah
Starting point is 00:50:18 Let's go, JT. Get your lick back, man. You gotta put, you gotta... Joe, I know that ain't your man. But that's not true. Joe loves JT. He just hated that Man in the Woods shit. Oh, okay. Joe, that fucking 2020 shit, he wore that shit out on Twitter. It might not be a...
Starting point is 00:50:39 Let me not go that far, but I'm a pretty huge Justin Timberlake fan. But I got the music I know what what you capable of so when you go and start acting like rural white again then I feel like you tricked us by collaborating with our greatest black musicians giving us these great amazing bodies of work and then alienating all that shit and going in the woods to cut lumber with plaid shirts I mean I feel like the only beef I ever had with that review of yours is that he still did it and then alienating all that shit and going in the woods to cut lumber with plaid shirts on. I mean, I feel you. The only beeper I ever had with that review of yours
Starting point is 00:51:08 is that he still did it with Pharrell and Timbaland. I don't get it. So why he was going to cut the wood with a beeper and some chainsaw? What that mean? He could have got Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye if that's the product they came out with. I didn't like the album either, by the way.
Starting point is 00:51:21 You didn't like anything on it? I don't think so. You cannot follow the 2020 experience both two times. Yeah. I just don't like the framing when you say, yo, you worked with all these great black creators and then went and did a country album when he did a country album with the black creators that he's been creating with. But I don't care about that if it's whack. And the same applies for black people, by the way.
Starting point is 00:51:44 The K. Michelle country album, I'm sure it was near and dear to our heart. It wasn't the slaps. Now, if you just kept it strictly about the album was not good, I'm with you 100%. It's just when you frame it the other way, to me, it comes off weird. Yeah, but when you market it that way, I have to frame it that way. Interesting. But it's a different market. So what?
Starting point is 00:52:01 but it's a different market. So what? When you market it that way, after marketing it this way, the marketing don't say, hey, I'm still working with the same amazing people, and the music didn't say that. So if the marketing don't say it
Starting point is 00:52:15 and the music don't say it and you don't look like it, you ain't even... You said he did work with the same amazing people. Yeah, he was awesome. No, I said if the marketing don't look like it
Starting point is 00:52:23 and the music don't sound like it. But that's the business, Joe. Oh, please. I called that shit out. Look, if when you do humans, right, some of the guests, I don't know what to call them, but the people that you interview for humans, they're going to resonate with different demos.
Starting point is 00:52:41 So Mike Tyson interview is going to resonate with us. The other guy from Utah, it's going to resonate with somebody else. So if I'm the label and Justin Timberlake puts out a country music album, I'm going to market that album in a certain way. I understand what you're saying. I just totally disagree with the ideology. Oh, okay. There's a whole clip
Starting point is 00:53:05 in my phone somewhere. Yo, I'm me everywhere I go. Every room I walk into, my voice is my voice. It don't sound low or high. I'm the same wherever I go. Now, you got to go different places
Starting point is 00:53:15 to pick up these different markets that you're talking about. True. I have a problem with the people that, if I come in here in a country outfit and some boots
Starting point is 00:53:24 and some shit and sit here and do a pod for the next year to try to expand the fan base, y'all going to look at me away. If I come in here and wear something that I wouldn't wear to try to get the LGBTQA plus community, it's going to look away. I'm going to say I'm trying to expand my business. I'm marketing. But it's not genuine. That's my point. But you could be multifaceted. I don't know the gentleman personally.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Well, me neither. And you run this. You run the Joe Bond podcast. It's yours. You are in control of everything that's being put out to the public. But you projected it. But he might not run that.
Starting point is 00:53:58 That is my other broad problem with the music business. These niggas don't run themselves. Oh, yeah. That's true. That's true. My problems are multilayered with the music business. These niggas don't run themselves. Oh yeah, that's true. My problems are multi-layered with the music business and let's talk about it. Okay. Actors and writers.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Gang. True. Let's talk about it right here. They're not playing. At all. They're not playing. The actors and writers have come together for the first time since the 60s. Yeah, 60s. Like 63 years. To protest and strike.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Mm-hmm. Uh, this is the first time that the actors, yeah, pull up whatever facts y'all need to pull up. This is the first time the actors have done this since 1980. Right? Mm-hmm. And what they are essentially fighting over and for is the structure of how they're paid. They're fighting mainly over how a stream is broken down and the future of AI.
Starting point is 00:55:01 I'm sure there are more, much, many more points that they're arguing over, but they seem very, very, very far apart over these two points. Major points. Yeah. The biggest thing
Starting point is 00:55:13 for the writers is that, well, I guess there's a lot of big things, but one big thing from the writers is that typically
Starting point is 00:55:20 a show would last most of the year and they would get paid through most of the year. Now they do writing rooms and they're writing for five days and then you're on your own to go find more work. It's not a sustainable living. Whereas before you might make 200 grand a year
Starting point is 00:55:35 writing shows, now you make 10, 15 grand and go figure that shit out the rest of the year. But I heard it was something pertaining to when shows go in syndication and shit like that. I think it's a residual. It's all of it. It's all of it, too.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Right? And now that we have Netflix or whatever streaming service, it's not necessarily counted as syndication. Right. Because you can watch it whenever the fuck you feel like. True. Like, you don't have to run on Channel 7 at 12 o'clock in the daytime and you get a syndicated check. You can go watch it whenever the fuck you feel like. True. Like you don't have to run on channel 7 at 12 o'clock in the daytime and you get a syndicated check. You can go watch it whenever. So they broke the
Starting point is 00:56:09 pay structure now. Streaming digital and AI have changed the business model so rapidly that it hasn't caught up with. Contractually. Contractually, exactly. So this is basically like the equivalent of like a collective bargaining agreement kind of thing you
Starting point is 00:56:26 know hasn't caught up is a crutch yeah this is by design of the course like it is around to you all of you that we gonna do nothing yeah it's just by design and again not trying to catch up to give us out give us all we breathe I read an article they said it's some of the people from the Netflix show we're making like $20 and fromG-AFTRA. Yeah. The residuals. Where's that article at?
Starting point is 00:56:47 We'll check that out. Sure. Oh, all right. So some of the things that SAG-AFTRA members won't be able to do as a result of striking is tours, personal appearances, interviews, conventions conventions fan expos festivals shut it down for your consideration events
Starting point is 00:57:08 panels premieres screenings award shows junkets podcast appearances social media in relation to
Starting point is 00:57:16 complete blackout complete blackout that is huge I also read that if like you're a young up and coming
Starting point is 00:57:24 actor or writer and you break the strike, you will never be allowed in the union. Wow. I'm not mad at that. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm not mad at that.
Starting point is 00:57:32 And this doesn't apply to Broadway and, uh, soap opera, daytime soap opera. Cause they act under a different contract. Sure. Okay. Because the soap operas,
Starting point is 00:57:43 they don't get, um, it's daily. Like they don't get, it's daily. Like, they don't get any, I forgot what they call it. No, no, no. Like, when you get time off, because I heard them speaking, they said they don't get that. Like, they work literally around the clock all year long,
Starting point is 00:58:02 so they don't get hiatuses and shit. It's just always on go for them, so they don't really get it. I'm just thinking about the trickle down effect for all of the people that this does affect. Like people that make a hundred grand. People that make
Starting point is 00:58:13 ninety grand. Yeah. People that make sixty. Just got out of college or whatever and got their first job being a PA on a scene
Starting point is 00:58:20 on a set. Makeup artists. Makeup artists. People that are lifers. You know, gaffers. Craft services. Lighting. Deliverables.
Starting point is 00:58:28 All the way down the line. Cameramen. Yeah. Bob Iger, there's a quote he said that's not going to age well. It's very disturbing to me. There's a level of expectation that they have that is just not realistic.
Starting point is 00:58:42 This is when he was speaking with CNBC. He shared his thoughts on the demands of both the unions and he said this will have a very, very damaging effect on the whole business. It will affect the economy in different regions even because of the sheer size of the business and he's saying it's a shame and this is coming from a CEO who makes how many millions and millions of dollars? The people making these kinds of comments are just really unbelievably tone deaf. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Can somebody find a clip of the nanny talking? Fred Andresen? Yeah. I think that in your CEO conversation, it's similar to politics or anything else. Like, you all the way up here, you really can't relate to the people down here. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Or you choose not to. But this groundbreaking AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, and that groundbreaking AI proposal, they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day's pay, and their company should own that scan, their image, their likeness, and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation so if you think that's a groundbreaking proposal i suggest you think again yeah that's crazy that's insane yo yeah it's slavery it's standard what is that that's not standard they're saying that's what they're proposing to become the standard. They're proposing that
Starting point is 01:00:06 because it's standard for them. And it will soon, that standard will soon be expressed more and more. Soon, some of these little sites and apps, the new term and condition is going to include language. Some of it already does.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I'm about to say, some of this shit is happening. That says we can do whatever the fuck we want with your likeness for free and there's nothing you can do about it. With your photos.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So them expressing that is just, when I'm saying it's standard, this is how they feel across the board and people that have negotiated with companies like this, you already know.
Starting point is 01:00:40 We've seen people run and jump on these AI face tuning and all that shit They doing the same shit True They're taking your face Owning your picture
Starting point is 01:00:49 Your whatever Information you give them And going to do God knows what with it You'll find yourself On another site somewhere Like oh what the fuck But from a performance standpoint
Starting point is 01:00:59 It's a different thing Because if I go perform At the BET Awards Or if I go perform here Or if I go perform at the BET Awards or if I go perform here or if I go perform there one time I get paid for that one time you now control
Starting point is 01:01:11 every dancer that was on this stage and can recreate shit for eternity without paying the dancer ever again. I mean they did it back in the days though right
Starting point is 01:01:19 with certain models like from different countries they would own their pictures or likeness and they would put it in different magazines and the fucking lady's somewhere in Russia somewhere. But that's a photo. If you're a performer,
Starting point is 01:01:35 you know what I'm saying? I think it's a little different. It is a little different. It's different to me. You got paid for the photo. Tyra Banks, if she does the Sports Illustrated issue, she got paid a whopping amount of money. Sports Illustrated owns those photos. True, but not,
Starting point is 01:01:48 we're talking about a little, not, not. Flip's talking about like, for instance, a common usage now is when people sell t-shirts, right? They might model, have a model wearing the t-shirt
Starting point is 01:01:58 that never wore that t-shirt in their entire life. They just took the stock photo and put different shirts on it. I think that to me. Which is different because that's a still and we're talking about performance. I think that, to me, which is different because that's a still and we're talking
Starting point is 01:02:07 about performance. Shit, we've been seeing this shit forever, man. Them girls on the fly wasn't at that club. You're right.
Starting point is 01:02:15 You're right. Am I lying? You're not lying. She wasn't at that damn club. Bernice wasn't there, you stupid nigga. No, no,
Starting point is 01:02:20 no, it wasn't. I've never been to a club. This was an epic lounge. I think that I'm not being attentive. What regards with
Starting point is 01:02:31 No, I think that that's funny. I just don't think the matter is funny so it's tough for me. It's not funny. That's funny. That was funny
Starting point is 01:02:37 but it's not funny. I think that It was. It's a step on our job. No, I'm not. That's why I shut the fuck up but the topic is triggering for me.
Starting point is 01:02:44 I'm just letting you know. And I think that the actors, because you said this hasn't happened since the 60s, where the actors and the writers combine. I think that the actors see that if they do this
Starting point is 01:02:54 to the writers, we're next. What they're going to do to us, yeah. We're next. So we need to make a unified stand now because if y'all
Starting point is 01:03:00 let this pop off, it's going to pop off with us. With some of them. I was going to say, one of the main reasons why SAG joined WGA is because of the comment that was made. Like, we'll just wait them out until they're fucking broken homeless. And SAG was like, a word?
Starting point is 01:03:17 No. Watch this. This is what solidarity looks like. Typically, the thinking across the board. And a lot of them was responding saying, hey, we broke now. I forget the gentleman's name. I was trying to find his name, but he played on Insecure. He played the dude that, the barber that Issa was dating.
Starting point is 01:03:36 And he posted on Instagram. He was like, yo, I cashed 50 residual checks. Five zero. Five zero. The total was $86. That's insane. That's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:51 It's not crazy. That's what's happening in the streaming era. Yeah. And it's what's been happening in the streaming era. It's still shit. It's still what?
Starting point is 01:04:01 You niggas stream every day. We stream every day. It's what but think about if it carries over into actors and yo
Starting point is 01:04:10 they have the ability now that once you perform one scene they now own your image and your likeness they can put you on other movies
Starting point is 01:04:18 they could cause now they got the ability to make you they can manipulate that shit however they want say whatever you want do whatever you want they can they can put Joe Budden on there with some muscles they could make
Starting point is 01:04:28 Joe button five seven eight you already five seven but you get what I'm saying they can make you do whatever you want to do and they and they don't gotta pay you shit I'm six four mama queens no six three my boat eggless the platform boat egg is like 6'4". Took them shits off at the middle of the kickback. Bitches were looking at me. Different. Different. It's a little fella.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Oh, hey, little man. Yeah. That's funny, son. But nah, that's crazy, dog. That's some next scary level shit. Yeah, it is. Bro. I hate you.
Starting point is 01:05:03 I hate all y'all. Why? Because they put you on to Apple Music And the first thing you said was I get all these songs I was the last nigga in the world I'm still in Apple Music doing that shit I get what you're saying though
Starting point is 01:05:18 I get it I get it Man it's tough They pay one license and feature company over here But I'm not really mad I'm not really mad I mean it. Man, it's tough. They pay one license and fee to a company over here. But I'm not really mad. I'm not really mad. I mean, it's triggering for me. It's tough because I'm overly passionate about music and how we're paid.
Starting point is 01:05:34 As I age and get older and get more information, I go back and look at some of the horrible contracts that I signed in music. Now that I have more understanding, I look at what of the horrible contracts that I signed in music, now that I have more understanding, I look at what that stuff means, when and where I was relinquishing ownership rights, residual rights, how we're paid. Like, none, it's not right. Like, I come in here and then think, by the grace of God,
Starting point is 01:06:03 I'm doing well and I'm doing great, but I'm doing well and i'm doing great from a new a new thing yeah i have 17 years in music and i'm only paid from no pump it up still pumping it up but uh my last album is what i'm paid five figures from. That should bother, that bothers me. It bothers me when I look out there and the people that inspire me, like the people that really put their foot into this music shit,
Starting point is 01:06:35 they didn't get their money from this shit. Like, that's odd. Like, damn, none of us? Like, all right, the one hit wonder that maybe didn't get it, but the hit wonder they maybe didn't get it, but the nigga that built that didn't get it? Wait, the nigga that built made that didn't get it? Wait.
Starting point is 01:06:52 No, this shit is fucked up all around the board. And I only stopped coming in here screaming, hey, hey, hey, thinking everybody is as passionate as me because you start to realize, oh, no, y'all are here voluntarily. True. True, yeah. Yeah. me because you start to realize oh no y'all are here voluntarily true true yeah yeah y'all are signing these papers and giving up rights for the little bit of money or a lot of bit of money that's being dangled in front of your face and in music just like in the in the actors like in the actors and the writers shit is going going on, there's so many just regular people that make the business run.
Starting point is 01:07:28 And you need some of them top dogs to jump in the fight. You need a few of them. But they have a union that has over 3,000, 5,000, however many people that they have now
Starting point is 01:07:40 combined to say, hey, no, you're not going to treat us like this. In music, we're all our own brands. Everybody is an independent contractor for the most part. So you leveraging you,
Starting point is 01:07:57 and they not looking at you like you somebody. It's just much easier to create music at a reasonable professional level than it is TV or film. You could do that shit in your bedroom, literally. We've seen it. I disagree with that. I disagree with that. We've actually seen certain films
Starting point is 01:08:18 won awards and shit and was made on our fucking iPhone. That's just not the standard like it is in music but because we stepped on our product don't mean that we didn't start at the same spot music the quality is now i'm with you the quality is ah niggas don't even give a fuck but that's because they made it that way like they made it hey low overhead you make that in your room we don't have to pay for this and we can make the profit we brought the same profit that we make that's the fucking fight that's the fight like if we okay with that that is where the fight
Starting point is 01:08:50 lies the actor people are saying yo now that there's netflix and all these bodies of work sit in one place for an eternity which means we've lost like we already stated dvd vcr residual movie ad we've lost too much and we're not getting paid from this and this is where the business is going so we have to fix the breakdown of a stream who's getting what from a stream same thing need to happen in music facts and we've talked about that with the way that they distribute music from i think spotify and apple specifically i think title does per artist as opposed i hate to rehash it but the way most people get paid it's it's prorated basically like dra Drake gets a million views,
Starting point is 01:09:45 a billion views, and we get a billion, three billion people listening on our app. Most of the money is going to Drake. Whereas if someone signs up and only listens to Joe Budden, he's going to get
Starting point is 01:09:58 a sliver of the percentage. Whereas that person's 1099 should go to Joe Budden. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, we understand. Yeah. And that's how it should go across the board with streaming,
Starting point is 01:10:06 but it doesn't. So it just bothers me that in music, everybody is all right with whatever bag they making, however they making it. Y'all going out to perform. Hey, just rolling around.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Still got your festival money. I want to ask you a question. Do you think it's circumstantial, meaning like, do you blame the artists and the people as well? Or do you feel like, because you know, we hear the stories for years that some of these companies are taking advantage of people that don't have anything, right? And they dangle this in their face and they have no choice. Do you feel that way? Do you feel like?
Starting point is 01:10:42 I don't feel like that. I don't feel like that. Hold on. Let me ask you a question. What if they don't have the means of getting a great lawyer? What if they don't have the means of somebody teaching them, like, well, this little fucking
Starting point is 01:10:55 shit that's written in the contract, you're basically signing your life over. Some people are in a fucked up position in life where they have no choice but to take the pro rate or the upfront money, which they don't think long term. What do you say to that, Joe? Have at it. I say I say have at it.
Starting point is 01:11:13 It starts at information. Got it. You can't make you can't even assume that you making the best decision for yourself if you don't have all the information. And we don't have all the information and we don't have all the information so yes the person that has to strap his belt and this is no there's no other way to do this i have to get this from this great hey everybody here gets fucked at entry we talking about the people that's out at the next at the next step of that some of y'all got in got y'alls and that's it now so we just gonna continue down that we talking about the people that have amended the contract and amended
Starting point is 01:11:50 the contract and amended the contract we talking about these that's who i'm talking about anyway it's like the middle class basically across the board in this country and probably the world true but because in music niggas say the pushback we always get is, oh, but how niggas going to eat? And if that's the pushback, then we'll never be prepared to fight this war. It's mad at them not eating right now. Can't pay their rent. Can't buy groceries. It's mad at them leaning on community, leaning on family and friends.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Hey, we got to hold hands right now. They don't have a choice, though. This is the choice is what I'm saying. They don't. They do have a choice. They could take their fucking ass back to work and everything stays the same.
Starting point is 01:12:32 This is the tough part of the choice they made. They made the choice. This is what you're presenting? No. For the future of our business, no, we're not doing that. We take the standard day.
Starting point is 01:12:42 That is the choice. You're right. But I'm saying that I think the alternative that they are given like the two choices are yo look stand and fight now or you will die and i think that now their back is to the wall where they have no choice but to stand and fight i think the alternative that they are being given is one where in four five six seven maybe not even that with the advancement and how quickly AI is taking off,
Starting point is 01:13:10 you won't be around seven years from now. These writers, AI is writing books for niggas in five days. AI is writing complete books in five days. There's also some lawsuits coming in that direction too, by the way. But I want to be clear because there's a lot of nuance here. I'm certain that in their bouts, they're not arguing against all the capabilities of AI. So I'm certain that AI, where it's helpful, they would like it to be helpful. But there are instances...
Starting point is 01:13:41 That's the problem. No, that's not a problem. To me, that's the problem. Because what you're doing is you're leveraging convenience. And when you leverage convenience, it's a fine, fine line between that. Like, yo, if you're a writer, right, and you let AI do the work for you, you're being lazy, and you're letting AI get it off because it's convenient. Now when the higher-ups see how convenient it is, and now it makes you expendable, then you tight. Well, the tricky thing with AI, too, and we've talked about this a million times,
Starting point is 01:14:06 so I don't want to beat it to death. There's actually a lawsuit now. I think Sarah Silverman is the biggest person that's on it, but they'll probably see more like that. The AI that exists now, ChatBGPT in specific, is not really AI. What it's doing is just combing the web for what other people have already written. So everything, it's like sampling. They're basically sampling without clearing anything.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Or plagiarizing. Yeah, they're sampling without clearing anything gotcha that's not that's not it like you can't just take people's shit and remix it and put it out and call it what it is no people need to be paid and credited for that i agree with that i didn't know that that's what it was that's what yeah some of that how it's operating because my man and i'll be writing the books and he and i was like yo i need wait who i'm not even putting his name out there but we know but my man be writing books and he was like ish I wrote the book in 45 days yeah I did and you just go in and you tweak what you
Starting point is 01:14:51 like boom boom boom boom boom and you put it out there you got a damn near published book in two three weeks that you did all yourself they're fighting to not be replaced in certain aspects by technology I don't think they're not saying we're not down to work with in some areas. Yeah. But, I mean, shout to them, good luck to them. I think it's really, really scary. And if I was them, I would be petrified.
Starting point is 01:15:15 No bullshit. Like, I got an off-mic story I'll tell, but. Listen, I don't, most of the missions I go into, I go into as the underdog, and I know it's going to be an uphill battle, but I know if I don't. Most of the missions I go into, I go into as the underdog, and I know it's going to be an uphill battle. But I know if I don't fight this fight, then the people coming behind me are going to deal with this same stuff. So I just fight it.
Starting point is 01:15:33 And that's what I think happens in the music industry. I'm not in the industry, but I think what happens is people. You are in the industry. I just read your article this morning. You can share tips about. Asshole. Yo, I think that... Nigga don't want to be no industry.
Starting point is 01:15:49 What industries are you in? Real estate and construction. Bitch ass nigga. Yo, I think that in the music industry, people pivot. Once they make some money, they pivot. They don't necessarily stay knee deep in the music industry.
Starting point is 01:16:04 So I think that when you're an actor it's actors that have been actors for 40 and 50 and 60 years so because they are still there they are fighting to make that circumstance better like if jay-z puff um rihanna you know all of these people stayed in the music industry they would be fighting toward a union or toward correcting and fixing the music industry the same way the actors have done. Because again, that's their lifelong career.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Motherfuckers been... Laurence Fishburne was in Cornbread Earl and Me, my nigga. You know what I'm saying? As a kid. Jay-Z has a union for artists. It's called Rock Nation. Come over here, you protect me. If you go over there you protect then we got you i got you well for the people that's not over there good luck that don't have
Starting point is 01:16:50 access to a rock nation or a love records or a tyler perry or any of the is only but so many shawn shawn uh shawn doesn't fucking isa rays running around here true there's only there's only but five to ten maybe black people that had that there's only but so many will packers running around they have that green green light green lit power and they have and this is going on now in july we are officially at damn near halfway through the summer halfway through the summer that fall slate that winter slate y'all y'all think it ain't nothing that ain't nothing to watch now hang it up yeah word oh my god there's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower brings gonna be a lot of fucking bro they show thank god we know how where they ovulate they're gonna be doing a lot
Starting point is 01:17:36 of fucking better find something to do they showed um i believe it was abc and this was when the strike first happened they show ab ABC's projected fall schedule. It's all game shows and reality shows. Dog, I'm watching the news. That's it. I'm watching the news this morning. They said three people canceled on them this morning. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:17:53 Yeah. They was tight. Yeah, because they can't make personal appearances. We can't make no appearances. Nothing. Listen. Shit is affected out here. TIFF is coming up.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Toronto International Film Festival. Telluride. Like, a major Venice film festival. All done. All the panels are finished. Toronto International Film Festival. Telluride. Major Venice Film Festival. All done. All the panels are finished. Done. These are massive. It's a comic con. Forget about it. Sundance. Done.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Forget about it. That's if it goes that long. But yeah, that's compromised. Even just the planning. You have to plan out on these things. And they project this to last a few months yeah if the actors just got in and they saying
Starting point is 01:18:28 they are worlds apart fam and the actors have a little bit more money to with with standing no that's not all
Starting point is 01:18:35 they said the actors walked out of Christopher Nolan's new movie Oppenheimer yeah the premiere was Thursday and the actors walked out
Starting point is 01:18:43 yeah walked off red carpets yeah it yeah it's a minute it happened everybody everybody moved mobilize now there's a hundred and fifty thousand people you know who are part of SAG you know so it's these aren't small numbers they are grinding this industry to a halt to show solidarity I like it yeah so hopefully it doesn't last that long but they're at an impasse for sure right I like it. I like it. I definitely like it. So hopefully it doesn't last that long, but they're at an impasse for sure right now. I like it, and all of y'all
Starting point is 01:19:09 in music is pussy. Facts. That's true. Y'all are pussy, yo. The blueprint be right in front of your face on how to get and impact some shit or affect change. You know what, too? The fact that they already have the union, because I'm pretty sure there's some people that don't't want to fuck with yeah in the hollywood industry that would
Starting point is 01:19:30 like if they were able to hey fuck this we cross the line i'm going back to work yeah absolutely there's penalties for that like you're trying to create it in music and they like for them to even get involved in this picture or this show you had had to join this union. So this shit was set before you got here. There is musicians unions. That's where the difference is. There is musicians unions. They still have juice like that. Or they don't have the big names in it.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Man, a union with some juice got to start at some point. For sure. I agree. Out of desperation. I agree. Out of desperation. Most unions came from a desperate situation. These niggas ain't desperate in agree. Out of desperation. Most unions came from a desperate situation.
Starting point is 01:20:08 These niggas ain't desperate in music. That's it. To get the juice, you need the big dogs, and the big dogs ain't desperate. No, they ain't desperate. They scared in music. It's more than just that. They scared in music.
Starting point is 01:20:19 That little quarantine pandemic learned you niggas good. I spoke to some of y'all. Y'all was petrified. Y'all voices was trembling. Like shit was real, real bad. And y'all didn't seem to know how to combat that. Navigate. Some of y'all never bounced back.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Some of y'all are still down. Like my favorite restaurant over there in the story to get breakfast over there by Kaufman. Mad they closed. Some of my favorite spots closed down. Couldn't do it. Some other spots modified a thing or two. They did the right guy, took a pen and paper out. Budget cuts.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Sabor's, Lolita's now. What? Nigga, I know. Shit. I didn't get it. Hey, this is my man Fernando over there. He's been there over 20 years. He had a little bit of enough money to weather the storm a little bit, too. Some of these smaller restaurants are living, literally getting by month to month.
Starting point is 01:21:14 So we don't have it. Six months of nothing, we finished. Yo, I'm retired in music, but listen, I'll stand with y'all. I'll stand with y'all. Let me know when y'all want to do it, where y'all want to do it, who y'all want to be the head or heads, who sits on the board, where we got to march, who we got to write to, who we got to talk to, when we have to not release music,
Starting point is 01:21:34 when we have to stand in solidarity. Let me know. Podcast. We all got each other's numbers. We keep talking about bullshit. Podcast unions, too. Yeah, that, too. Same boat.
Starting point is 01:21:46 I put them all together just so we got some numbers. Just so we got some numbers now. I'm down for it. I know a lot of y'all. I know y'all making money out there. I know y'all happy. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:22:01 What happens when you don't? I know. Sometimes you got to take a couple steps backward to take a couple steps forward, man. More steps forward. I ain't going to bore y'all to death with this because it's the weekend, but I'm monitoring this extremely closely. I'm glued to this. I stand with the writers and the actors, even though I ain't going to have nothing to watch. That's going to be tough.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Even though I ain't going to have nothing to watch. That's going to be tough. But the longer they go, the more it benefits my chances of getting this unscripted product to partner with. What? I mean, hey. True. The business is business still. You're right.
Starting point is 01:22:37 You got one for us. Hey, all the writers stop writing. Guess who keep going unscripted every week, twice a week, three hours. Hey, think fire. It works for me. You're right. It's fucked up. The game is the game. Three hours.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Hmm? Ten hours. That's not how it's segmented. True. Just mute up over there. Ten hours. Nah, subscribe to the picture. That's exactly what happened last time. Don't subscribe to the picture. That's exactly what happened last time.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Don't try to unionize. That's what happened. Niggas started counting up hours. The niggas was like, hey. Niggas started doing it over the map. Like, hold up, buddy. Got the rock out pin out. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:20 Wasn't that pin come out? They had me, man. Oh, man. They got him. They got him, man. Oh, man. They got him. They got him. Where we at? Where we at?
Starting point is 01:23:31 Speaking of they got him, there's a new little app running around. Got me, man. Which one? All of them that come out. Nah, nah. It's the Monopoly shit, bro. It's the Monopoly shit, bro.
Starting point is 01:23:43 I don't even be... Yeah, man. It's a new Monopoly app? Monopoly Go. Monopoly Go, yo. It's the Monopoly shit, bro. Monopoly Go. Yeah, man. It's a new Monopoly app? Monopoly Go. Monopoly Go, yo. It's so simple, but it's addictive. You'll just sit there rolling the dice, playing, playing, collecting money, all this bullshit. This nigga's a child. I am a child.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I don't spend money on apps. I don't. They got me, though. How much you lost? I'm going to be down like 200 in two days. You nice? Yo, what the fuck are y'all talking about right now? I'm just, you said speak.
Starting point is 01:24:12 They got me. Like, this is an app that just popped up. It's the game Monopoly? Or is it just using branding? No, it's the game Monopoly. Okay. But it's played a little differently. Like, you play against, you have your own board.
Starting point is 01:24:25 You play it against other people. You land, you know, how Monopoly goes. But you're not taking turns. You roll and you know how like, remember Candy Crush and shit? Like you have lives. Well, you have dice rolls. When you run out of dice rolls, you can buy more dice rolls. And they are, I'm dying to know what they're making.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Because every, I just kept seeing tweets about it and posts about the shit. I'm like, let me look. Don't play that. Don't play that shit, bro. Don't play that shit. Don't play that shit. That's it. Something quick.
Starting point is 01:24:51 I'm just, they got me. Got you. They got me. They always get him. No, they don't. Why do you think they always get me? This is kind of a flagrant conversation. Let's just move on.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Okay? Let's move on. Okay. This really wasn't flagrant. Yeah, I wouldn't call it flagrant. But you're insecure, so. I am. And usually when you say move on, you like.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Have something to move on to? Hey, Paul, you coming at me? Oh, shit. All right. Listen, don't play with me. I keep something to fucking get to. Let me get my play with me. I keep something up. Fucking up. Let me get my little cord out. It's right there.

Starting point is 01:27:32 Oh, man. I didn't say nothing, but I did think it was odd. No, seriously. Somebody answer. Then he signed his dad. Seems familiar. Seems familiar. I think that was the trend like 600 years ago.

I felt bad for defending niggas, bringing they names up.
Starting point is 01:30:54 Well, you can say what you're talking about. No, I saw a guy. I think it's like, I forgot his name, but he made a YouTube video about all the attacks that Vlad did to you. I thought it was a conspiracy. And that shit kind of fucked me up.

Starting point is 01:31:21 I mean, that clip didn't come out yet, but we called his phone and all that shit. And I was defending because I felt like Vlad wanted to do business with me and I wanted to do business. Then I watched this fucking YouTube video. I was like, God damn, son. He did that? He was on Joe's ass like that?
Starting point is 01:31:40 No wonder. Sometimes I feel like you act a little emotional and you go too far But You got a reason So I want to remove myself From defending niggas now And I want to Join the dark side

And DJ E efn says that cube was a better storyteller than biggie and yayo hit hit the roof like you're out of your mind biggie no way not possible and i did see a bunch of um conversation going about that like people what side and i want to ask y'all what side y'all fell on just in terms of storytelling just storytelling but so ice cube's response to that was yes ice cube's response was i'm a huge fan
Starting point is 01:34:32 of biggie it's all subjective depends on what where your interests are he said i think i have a bigger body of work than biggie and he he also said, well, storytelling and what? Just rapping? Because I tell stories in movies as well. So how are you looking at it? So just depends on how you look at it. I mean, he has the bigger hit story record.
Starting point is 01:34:58 So that's an easy win. What do you mean? That's debatable. What big story is a bigger hit than that juicy that's autobiographical that's not a story no box that is quit Bob ain't really a story um I feel you what's the cube record you talking about today was a good day just good day sorry yeah all right baby maybe I had Chinese food
Starting point is 01:35:26 All through school And I was wrong earlier with Mel So Let's see What's the second verse Yeah This album is dedicated To all the teachers that told me
Starting point is 01:35:41 I never amount to nothing To all the people That lived above the buildings That I was hustling from that call the police on when I was trying to make Some money my daughter and all the niggas in the struggle. No, I'm saying So good, baby. Baby. No, it was all a dream I used to read word up magazine something pepper and heavy D up in the limousine hanging pictures on my wall every Saturday Rap attack mr. Magic, Molly Moore. Sound story-ish.
Starting point is 01:36:06 I let my tape rock till my tape pop. Am I missing something? Nah, I'm staying at Will Parks. I'm still, we got that part. Well, what's the difference between... That so far is not a story? That is a story, though. That is a story.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Even the whole song. I wouldn't read the scandal lyrics real quick. Is there a distinction between autobiographical and storytelling? For me, there is. Why? Because everyone's music, to some degree, is autobiographical, especially in that era. I think that telling a story, i.e. Nas or Slick Rick or Ice Cube, that is a fictional story, is different from telling your story. I totally disagree.
Starting point is 01:36:43 The one when he was like, yo, stupid motherfuckers got told they parked by a hydrant. That was a story. Yes. That's different to me than Juicy. It's a different kind of story, but it's still a story. It's still a story. Autobiographical story is a story. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:59 And all rappers' raps about themselves are not a story. True. And all rappers' raps about themselves are not a story. True. They could have autobiographical elements, because you're referring to yourself. But dang, this. We the bamboo sipping on private stock. Way back when I had the red and black lumberjack.
Starting point is 01:37:16 What you was wearing, all right. With the hat to match. Remember rapping Duke? Remember rapping Duke? The hard, the hard. You never thought that hip hop would take it this far. Facts. Now I'm in the limelight cause I rise like
Starting point is 01:37:25 Time to get there, blow up like the world's train Born sinner, the opposite of a winner Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner Peace to Rod D, Bruce B, Kid Capri Fuck Master Flex, love Bugs, Dots, D I'm blowin' up like you thought I would Call a crimson A common thief.
Starting point is 01:37:47 I made the change from a common thief. Oh, yeah. This is one of the best songs ever in the history of music to me. So we don't have to argue that. To me, I just don't look at that story in the same way of children's stories. It's fine. We don't have to stay on that. Let's get to it.
Starting point is 01:37:59 Let's get to it. Where do you stand on the debate? Cube. Big. Big for me big just because there's there's more memorable story songs from big and maybe that's east coast i was just gonna say that that could be a lot of east coast maybe it may be can we play i'm cubing cube cube got my summer vacation once upon a Bird in the Hand. These are classic story records
Starting point is 01:38:26 that if you're just not familiar with Cube's catalog because of East Coast bias, you would not know. I'm pretty familiar with Cube's catalog. Let's go Ice. It's cute.
Starting point is 01:38:36 It's cute. It's the biggest. I'm older and a lot of people are really not as familiar with Ice Cube as a rapper. People don't have Ice Cube ranked high as a rapper because they just don't know. But Ice Cube was
Starting point is 01:38:50 at one point top five rapper in the world. So I'm rolling. Big. Storytelling? Christopher Wallace. Wish you knew his middle name nope George Latour
Starting point is 01:39:10 B-I-G P-O P-P-A look even that's a story oh my god but I'm not mad at your answer I'm not mad at nobody I'm not mad at nobody
Starting point is 01:39:34 that says Q I don't think this is a blasphemous comparison at all I think it actually makes kind of sense yeah yeah throw Scarface in the mix big Scarface is high up there too No, it's not. I think it actually makes kind of sense. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:46 Throw Scarface in the mix. Big. Face is high up there, too. Big. Big over Scarface as well, Joe? Big. Is there anybody above big? Dana, Dana, Slickwick.
Starting point is 01:40:00 And Storytel. And Storytel. I said Dana, Dana. And Slickwick. Nas. Yeah. All Slickrate. Nas. Yeah. All right. Nas.
Starting point is 01:40:08 Nas. Yeah. The Slickrate. And I think Nas and Biggie are like on par for me with maybe Nas getting the edge because he did it longer. But why I have Biggie so high is really 80% of Biggie versus with Storytale. He told a lot of stories. He did. And I think that's the difference.
Starting point is 01:40:25 That's why. That's the difference between him and Cube for me is like a greater portion of his catalog is stories. His storytelling. I was about to say, his catalog is what? Yeah, but most of those two albums have like- Shit, arguably his greatest story is not even on none of them albums.
Starting point is 01:40:39 Soon as she spoke on that note, I saw a trench coat. One had a Mac spitting. All I saw was gun smoke. The other had a shotty. I was shooting everybody. And I wasn't missing. Had to get out this position. Niggas still hitting.
Starting point is 01:40:51 Feeling hot was in my back. Lick six shots. Smoked the nigga with the Mac. The nigga with the shotty still busting. Busting. Mariko, come on. As you know of me, all I'm trying to do is shoot. Oh, you don't?

You're through the 12 months. Can't live life with your rocks and swivel butts Hanging with the niggas, don't pay the bills And being broke and burning, give a nigga the chills

There's no wrong answer to this question.
Starting point is 01:42:25 If you pick Cube, if you pick Big, but I was outside in 95. This is the song I sing. Real niggas do real things. And the thug that's in the house. For the nine five piece. Erch, erch, erch, erch, erch, erch, erch. Now, check it. All those seniors talk about me.
Starting point is 01:42:43 I'm going to get this nigga next door. Come on, come on, come on. Let's just do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call that big butt nurse with the low end. What's up, buddy? Yeah, what's up, dude? Your doctor said I need about three weeks of recovery.
Starting point is 01:42:55 But the nurse is just loving me. Saying the best part of the day is my half. Feeding me breakfast and getting the most much bath. Niggas say I die dead in the streets. Nigga, I'm getting high, getting head on the beach. You singing the words? You singing the words for somebody that never heard it. Because I heard it on Notorious.
Starting point is 01:43:12 You singing the words. Because I heard it on Notorious. You still singing the words. I'm just now finding out that that was used there. And you do a music podcast. This is for a lifestyle podcast. You do a music podcast. For a lifestyle podcast. And a music podcast. Speak on my life podcast. You do a music podcast. You do a lifestyle podcast.
Starting point is 01:43:26 And a music podcast. Speak of my life. Wow. Speak of my life, Joe. Autobiographical. You know what I mean? There's a difference. Quick question. Quick question while we're here.
Starting point is 01:43:33 Shoot. Your top three storytelling rap songs. Make it small. Three lists. They reminisce over you. Children's Story has to be in there. Like your favorite. Those are your favorite? I'm not saying like, you know, favorite and best. Children's Story has to be in there. Like your favorite. That was your favorite?
Starting point is 01:43:46 I'm not saying like, you know, favorite and best. Troy? Yeah, there's a story. That's a story that's autobiographical. Oh, you hate the autobiographical story. No, I think that Troy and Juicy are the two best hip-hop songs of all time, arguably. I just don't necessarily count them as story records, personally. Yeah, me either.
Starting point is 01:44:01 In the same way, I guess, that I look at children's story or Nas' Undying Love or even I Gave You Power or something like that. Those are different types of stories. I'll say one that might be obscure and you guys will probably
Starting point is 01:44:12 shit on me for it, but whatever. We would never. Meet the Parents, Jay-Z. That's a lot of people's favorite. That's a really good story. Rewind is my number one.
Starting point is 01:44:20 Why would we shit on you, brother? Really good story. Why do you think we should have that for that selection? Yeah, man, why'd you preface it like that?
Starting point is 01:44:27 I forgot who threw it in the argument. I think it was just a tweet that I saw, but someone threw Will Smith in the storyteller argument and I actually wasn't.
Starting point is 01:44:33 Summertime, the Fresh Prince intro, the fucking Paris just don't understand. I think I could beat Mike Tyson. I think I could beat Mike Tyson. He had a lot of ill story records.
Starting point is 01:44:43 I wasn't mad at that. I'm not mad at someone saying that. I'm not dignifying it. I'm not mad at someone saying it. I'm not dignifying it. I'm older, so I'm going to go Cinderfella. My favorites, Rewind, Nas. Cinderfella? Who's Cinderfella?

Starting point is 02:00:11 The tension in the room is palatable. This nigga Joe is like, what's wrong with you, bro? You such a phony ass nigga. What? Nothing is your fault. You trying to like. I did have something for the Island Boys kiss. Let's move on.
Starting point is 02:00:22 Important news. I don't know who the niggas is the island boys is two weirdo twin brother dudes that act and the weirdo dudes be posting just two weird niggas with tattoos and funny hair every time i see him i say who y'all don't need i don't have the bandwidth to retain the island Boys, but apparently they're kissing. They're tongue kissing. Yeah, they're kissing. As brothers.
Starting point is 02:00:48 So people are saying that they are... Nasty. Incest baiting. Trolling. No, not trolling. They're being very specific. Incest baiting, because apparently that is a thing. COE.
Starting point is 02:01:03 Let me tell you something. And while we focused on the Island Boys and the Hove Museum, the news is telling me this morning that the New York, they are rewriting, redrawing the New York congressional map. Excuse me? Well, apparently, and map geography people are arguing and fighting to take politics
Starting point is 02:01:36 out of map drawing. Apparently, when you draw the map, it pits certain places against certain places. So the map was redrawn a few times and apparently however it got drawn up they say is responsible for the election wins for Jerry Nadler Santa Santos and a few other people so now they're saying that the Democrats are redrawing the shit so they could get a win.
Starting point is 02:02:05 In New York? Next year. Because they redraw it all the time to try to fucking. To modify some shit. No, to try to get more votes. I never thought about the politics involved with the drawing of a map. Y'all tell me I'm crazy for not believing that the map is the map. What do you mean not believing the map is the map?
Starting point is 02:02:29 Yeah, like, you mean... What, I don't believe that whatever they drew is what everything is and where it is. Like the little rumor that behind Arizona is Africa or some shit, or the North Pole. You know, just secret pathways and gateways in this world that I don't think they put on the map for people. I think there's mad shit in the world that they didn't account for, wasn't there for, don't have proof of. Like, I just don't believe it. We drew what we knew. This is our Utah here. Texas here.
Starting point is 02:02:59 Got it. But do I believe that that's what it was originally? No, I'm not wrong with that. What else is important to me here? What's important to y'all? Because I'm going to talk about the Yankees putting insurance company tags on their uniforms. That's not just the Yankees. The whole NBA did that the last couple of years.
Starting point is 02:03:25 The NBA, they passed a rule so that that could be done. There are other major league teams that do that, but the last team you would expect to do that ever is the Yankees because of their rules and guidelines. The Yankees still don't have names on their jerseys.
Starting point is 02:03:43 No facial hair, no beard, no mustache, and no name on your jersey, but you're going to put star insurance on your shit all the way through 2031 for $25 million a year? Yeah. Stop it. Damn, I didn't know they had all them other, I'm not a baseball fan.
Starting point is 02:03:59 The Yankees have rules that no other team has. So that's why them doing it is being looked at like, yo, dog, what are y'all doing? There's no names on the Yankees jersey, right? No, they can't put no names. It's not about the name. If you're part of the organization, you can't have facial hair. Well, you can have a mustache.
Starting point is 02:04:20 That's it. Even if you're an exec. Because my man used to work for the Nets. Who? Drew. And at one work for the Nets. Who? Drew. And at one point, the Nets and the Yankees were a partnership. So everybody at the Nets couldn't have facial hair neither. But that was a Steinbrenner shit.
Starting point is 02:04:36 Like, even the niggas in the higher ups. It's not just the players. Who made that rule? Steinbrenner. Jordan. He used to on the team I mean I get that They paying Aaron Judge
Starting point is 02:04:48 A lot of money Cut your fucking hair I think it's nuts though Yeah And it look funny When they walk out there It look funny Looking at Yankee pinstripes
Starting point is 02:04:58 Are other MLB teams Doing this Yeah Okay Again I don't I'm not familiar with baseball Listen the more The more money the better The more revenue We gotta play the games anyway And wear. Again, I'm not familiar with baseball. Listen, the more money, the better.
Starting point is 02:05:05 The more revenue. We got to play the games anyway, and wear the uniforms anyway. I'm not against this. I'm against it when it comes to the Yankees. I don't like seeing it. Even in the NBA, I don't like the little advertising. The NBA, now why they look whack? That shit look like a Canadian league or a fucking-
Starting point is 02:05:19 Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Stop that. I already had that. Scowl. No, it's just a- Stop it. Stop it, man. She's sitting right here. No, it's just a... Stop it. Stop it, man.
Starting point is 02:05:26 She's sitting right here. She's right here. Don't be Canadian. As your co-host, your friend, it was just Canada Day. All the niggas that play overseas,
Starting point is 02:05:35 they get sponsorships. It looked like a fucking NASCAR. You know what I'm saying? Like, whatever the sponsor, you taking it on because they giving you bread. So you just putting all these different tags
Starting point is 02:05:44 and logos on your shit. NBA, it'd be blah just putting all these different tags and logos on your shit. NBA, it'd be blah, blah, blah insurance right there on your shit. It's weird. Shit look funny. It is weird.
Starting point is 02:05:50 Just because we're not used to seeing it. Come on, what else is the internet mad at? They say Lil Baby can't sell out his tour. Yeah,
Starting point is 02:05:56 he canceled a bunch of dates. Canceled a bunch of dates for his tour. Yeah. What does it mean? React. He ain't had no big slaps in a minute. I was about to say,
Starting point is 02:06:06 how's he having anything frequent? It didn't look like, I said it when I first saw it. This is not a tour that I, as a fan of his, this is not a tour that I would rush out to go see. Was there anybody else on it? Yeah, he has,
Starting point is 02:06:17 I think Glow's on there. Y'all can talk, I'll get the other names on there. Why do they think they're canceling it? That's why you wouldn't want to go is because of the other names that run? Well, if you don't have the slaps like that to perform, like I just saw Lil Baby perform with Chris Brown on tour.
Starting point is 02:06:32 And he did okay. Okay. The supporting acts will kind of make up for a lot of that too. Right. And if you got a person who has maybe one record, or some other acts that I don't even, or some other acts that I don't even know,
Starting point is 02:06:48 it's like, I'm not rushing out to get this, to go to this tour. Yeah, but off namesake, wouldn't you think that Lil Baby
Starting point is 02:06:54 would fare better in an arena tour? Not necessarily. Or no. No, not necessarily. Okay. It's 20,000 people,
Starting point is 02:07:04 y'all. It's a, you need to. Glorilla, Kid Leroy, Gloss Up, Rilo Rodriguez. I know Rilo. Honcho. Oh, okay. Y'all wasn't trying to sell it out. That's what that tell me real quick. Y'all wasn't trying to sell that out at all.
Starting point is 02:07:23 Respectfully, of course. Arenas? Yeah. Respectfully, of course. You talking? Yeah. Respectfully, of course. You talking about an arena tour, you better roll some names. That's a pavilion tour. And even that,
Starting point is 02:07:31 I told y'all when I went to see Chris Brown and Lil Baby, outside of the major markets, they were doing amphitheaters, which for Chris Brown, he don't do those. So now Lil Baby is headlining the tour and you got your your supporting acts on the toy ain't really got no slaps like that and you're trying to sell um arenas if the musicians did it did it strike rolling loud
Starting point is 02:08:00 would be calling spotify their damn self people would get on the phone and try to pony up some money and find out how we could fix this. See, that's the other thing I think happens. You get these names who headline festivals and you kind of get a little, okay, we had X amount of thousands
Starting point is 02:08:15 here at this festival and you think I could sell that on your tour? That's not all yours. True. There's a lot of names on that festival that they're here to see.
Starting point is 02:08:22 It's not necessary. You're the headliner, but everybody there is not there for you. And it can gas you. You think you can sell out a bigger arena than you really can or a bigger venue. Well, even if there was, I'm still getting an accumulation of artists that I might like or just be all right with me, but I wouldn't mind seeing them. I don't know if I'm going to go spend $400 to see them.
Starting point is 02:08:43 Right. These tickets now are, like you said, this shit is starting to be a luxury item. That shit is expensive, dog. Fucking Kane Brown tickets was like $400. That shit is starting to be expensive. Beyonce selling out, that shit is expensive.
Starting point is 02:08:58 Beyonce is a vacation. And that's the alternative to us not striking. Because we still got to find an answer, right? How do we eat? How do we feed our families? The alternative to that is raising the price of music altogether,
Starting point is 02:09:11 which is taking it from the fans. It's fucked up. But yeah, music will be a luxury ticket item. Listen to your fucking thoughts and your silence. Talk to your fucking thoughts and your silence. Talk to your friends, your family, nigga. Fuck to the AC. Read a book.
Starting point is 02:09:31 Yeah, word. Hey, the smoke detector that you ain't fucking fixed. Come to that. Get a little beat out of it. Not for nothing, too, this would be the time to strike. Because if you get TV and music all shut down. That's why I'm calling all of these people pussy, because this is how these things work.
Starting point is 02:09:47 You right. You don't have to work together to work together. Word. All you got to do is see, oh, they doing that now. Oh, the actors joined now. Let's go. Let's go. Let's join in now.
Starting point is 02:10:00 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. See where you get your entertainment from. Word. All entertainment shut down. Especially in hip hop. It'll be a whole lot of 99 bottles of beer on the wall. Word.
Starting point is 02:10:11 99 bottles of beer. Yeah. It's going to be a whole lot of Marietta Little Lamb in around here. Hey, dust off your twister. Talk about it. NFL, we're going to have to extend this to about 20 games a year. Word. Nah, that's wrong
Starting point is 02:10:25 That's a good point You kind of smart You bring entertainment To a halt completely You get shit You get results For the year 2024
Starting point is 02:10:33 For the whole year Yeah It ain't going to last that long I don't think it would It ain't going to last that long And this nigga's First year of really being able To be back outside
Starting point is 02:10:42 After COVID Exactly After COVID This is when you do it Press. This is when you do it. Pressure. This is when you do it. Yeah, remember how COVID fell. Now we're going to show you.
Starting point is 02:10:50 Know why y'all so stupid out there? Why y'all should have been? Y'all ain't been dropping no fucking music anyway. Word. This was the year. Y'all let them beat you down with all this, oh, no number one rap album since eight months. Guess what?
Starting point is 02:11:02 And there won't be none. No time soon. Get a load of that. We at home. They fell for the okie doke the other way. Like, oh, we can bundle again. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:11 We can bundle again. That's what they gave him. Hey, you can bundle again starting July. We can bundle. We can bundle. Fucking idiots. You're stupid, yo.

Starting point is 02:11:35 When some of these industries get to stopping some shit, I'm going to keep on going. I'm going to fuck out of here. Oh, what else is the internet mad at? Drake did an interview with some little white girl. That's the take. Drake did an interview with some little white girl. Okay.
Starting point is 02:11:52 The internet is mad about it. Why? Any reason? They want him to sit down with someone. Yeah, because they want Drake to stop sitting down with little white girls. You have to say that. That's what they're saying. I said this segment is what the internet is mad at.
Starting point is 02:12:06 Drake has sat down with a bunch of little white girls or a bunch of just abstract people that have nothing to do with music, really. So the music people, not me, making myself clear, but music people are like, all right, dog, enough's enough. Come back. Come back home. Come on.
Starting point is 02:12:23 Let's hear it now. So they're mad about it. I'm not. They're going to be mad. Yeah. People sit with who they're comfortable with sitting with.
Starting point is 02:12:31 True. What they feel. When's the last time he did an interview interview? Elliot. Elliot. Elliot. He's done every interview.
Starting point is 02:12:41 I want to go do some weird shit. I feel. And then there's that little interview beef going on. I don't want to call it interview beef, but it was Lil Baby and Rilo Rodriguez. Excuse me.
Starting point is 02:12:53 And he said that Sway was the GOAT of hip hop media. And Elliot took offense to that and has been like, all right, I heard all that shit you said. Nobody's doing better interviews. You just start poking his chest out. Say like he's... Sway's the man. Sway's the man.
Starting point is 02:13:10 I didn't see anything wrong with that. You got to give Sway his. Sway's the man. I didn't see a thing wrong with it. What about that, Joe? What do I feel about it? Yeah, what do you feel about Sway's... I think they're both goats.
Starting point is 02:13:23 I'm not mad at anybody that says Sway is the greatest of all time. Got it. I don't see how you could be if it's me. But I do like Spicy Elliot. I like the competition. I like Spicy Elliot. Because I sat down with Elliot and was like, y'all niggas is, listen. People have been accusing him of being too boring, too on script, too journalistic-y in this personality-driven era.
Starting point is 02:13:49 So I do like Spicy Elliot, and it hasn't just started with the Sway shot. No, no. He's been at it. I want to say since I left them. So I do like that. But? No, I think it started with the list. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:11 It started with the list. That list, boy. That list shook a lot of shit up. It really did. If I don't make another list ever, I'll be tight. I'll be tight about that. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty.
Starting point is 02:14:22 Yeah, no, I'll be tight. Put me on the list. Fuck these niggas talking about. You'll really be tight. You you for your honesty. Yeah, no, I'd be tight. Put me on the list. Fuck these niggas talking about. You don't really be tight. You'd be like seventh. No, I wouldn't. No, I would not. Got it, bro.
Starting point is 02:14:35 We were on a podcast. I know. And that's what I'm saying. If you were seventh, pod man, you'd be like, word. Y'all got him all. Y'all. You'd crack your nose like alright let's get busy
Starting point is 02:14:46 I would apply some lyrics from one of my favorite rappers ever Royce Da 5'9 the verse where Kanye went up there and said
Starting point is 02:14:54 and tried to shit on Royce and Em when they was nominated in the same category Kanye went up there and thanked all the nominees except for Royce and Em
Starting point is 02:15:03 this game is so shady. Really? And Royce wrote a verse. I've been away from the games. I don't remember it offhand. But the verse basically was saying I wasn't mad. He said they motivated him
Starting point is 02:15:13 and normally that would be ammo to go with him. But that ain't my ammo. Yeah, it was, he was basically saying I got to work harder. If my peers that I think should acknowledge me
Starting point is 02:15:22 in the moment when I'm nominated with them don't acknowledge me, then I just got to work harder. If I was seventh, I would just feel I got to nominated with them don't acknowledge me, then I just got to work a little harder. If I was seventh, I would just feel like I got to work harder. I'm number one and feel like I got to work harder. I was going to say, like, if you number one and has been number one on these lists for a minute and you move to seven, it's like. Drastic fall off.
Starting point is 02:15:37 What happened? What went wrong? If I move to seven from one, I would be blaming y'all. Y'all have really dropped the ball. Wow. Y'all really let go of this platform. Y'all, you're just being honest today, huh? I'm telling the truth.
Starting point is 02:15:51 All right, so now. I won't blame y'all. All right, so hold on, hold on. We've been here for a couple years. That's shady. We've been here for a couple years and you've been one. So now I want the other side of that. You get the other side of that.
Starting point is 02:16:01 I can't do it alone. All right, all right. I can't do this alone. All right, my nigga. Y'all are ones too on my list. Oh, I hate this nigga. Oh, that's heartwarming. Sometimes.
Starting point is 02:16:14 Wait. Sometimes. I hate him. But y'all. That's what. This nigga different. That's fucked up. Nah, because when y'all got here, I was number one.
Starting point is 02:16:24 So if I had to slip To number seven Come on Yes you do man What you want We would say Damn I got six slots worse

Starting point is 02:23:12 Ish, how do you feel? React. It sounds fire, but why do... Am I getting sarcasm from you? It was blah. It was all right. It just sounded like when they remix things for commercials a little bit. It's the Esby's.
Starting point is 02:23:26 It's Wayne remixing it for a commercial. Exactly. Yeah, it had to be PG-13. So why would I think that that's so fire? I don't work for the Esby's. I don't do nothing in sports.
Starting point is 02:23:37 And I heard the real Amelie, like outside in clubs. His lines in there, he can't say there. I know. Like what? I'm not saying them here either. Like Victor and women yawning. No, there His lines that he can't say there I know Like what I'm not saying them here either Like Victor and women

Starting point is 02:25:07 the most he says he looks like him I don't relate to him I'm just asking you laughing at me ish I'm laughing at Ice Uzi did respond to these
Starting point is 02:25:15 comments he's been making about experimental tapes and the real tape is coming and blah blah blah he spoke to actors is what he said Sessions
Starting point is 02:25:23 is not is uzi whatever whatever it's it's it's a it's a very select conversation is uzi still him what is him the most influential in the culture the most talented who's dropping songs that is just i'm still trying that's why it's not even about the music being all the way 100% good. I'm trying. I'm still trying. I'm trying.
Starting point is 02:25:51 I never stop trying. Even when y'all think I'm not doing shit, I'm trying shit behind the scenes. And so it sounds good enough for me to present it to y'all. I'm trying. I've been trying the whole time. I've never not been trying. I'll tell you, a scientist don't go overnight like hog like on the movies It's a Robin Williams to make flubber the whole damn movie took a movie to make it right
Starting point is 02:26:15 No movie two hours, but a movie is really like a Year It took him the whole movie to make flow To be right flubber wasn't right. He's putting that shit on motherfuckers basketball shoes and shit. It was Flubber. All right, thanks for telling me about Flubber. What do y'all think about that?
Starting point is 02:26:33 I appreciate any artist that's out there trying, so I don't want to take away from that. But that was a crock of shit. I think the word he meant was experimenting. That's what he's saying. Yeah, rather than trying. Why do you think it's a carcass shit? Because that goes out the window once you sell it to me.
Starting point is 02:26:52 It's not you're trying anymore. This is the product that you're selling. If the plumber come over to fix some shit and want to try out some new methods, you should have did that shit before you got here. Once you're here to do the service, fix the shit. Don't experiment on my dime. Experiment on yours when you're paying for studio time, when your label's paying for the studio time, while I'm home knowing nothing about
Starting point is 02:27:17 what you're doing. He's been away for years. You had time to experiment, nigga. Once you sell it, that's what you're standing in. It's not the time for you to say hey my real shit is coming in two weeks Dirk did the same thing recently he said yo my deluxe is coming honestly this should have been the main stop saying that to people I think as a disclaimer um I think when they I think it's after the reactions that they get yeah that's what I think too to clean it up but yeah but then there's a slap there's a slap in the face to niggas that could read through all of this bullshit that y'all out here saying.
Starting point is 02:27:46 But at the same time, if I am trying to experiment with a new sound and I think I got it, I still got to now take it somewhere to my label or whatever and they got to okay that.
Starting point is 02:27:56 Stand in it. They put it out. That's why I'm saying that's why I'm saying it's bullshit. Because once you took it to your label, whatever results
Starting point is 02:28:04 come from that stand in that so it's not the product it's the um my real album is coming i don't like that i don't like that my real album shit i do appreciate the fact that because we knock artists all the time when they just keep putting out the same exact thing and they don't try anything new they don't try to push the envelope we diss them when they do that so i do definitely appreciate artists of his magnitude that's trying to do different things but when you package it up you sell it don't do it on don't do it on nba don't don't try some new fucking move on nba on tnt our eight o'clock game i don't want to see that you should have been in the gym that morning or the month work on your fucking moves and come out here and try to get it done because that's the product now when you step on
Starting point is 02:28:48 the floor same with him see i i i disagree with that piece right there but i think that you can try it and just say y'all tried something new whether it hit whether it missed i tried something new don't say yo they don't know if it worked until you put it out and it's my thing so don't say a week make something that you proud enough to stand in no matter what. Don't say after my album drops, yo, my real album is coming next month. That's some bullshit. Say, yo, this is my album. Even if it's not well received.
Starting point is 02:29:16 Like it or not. So the wording is what bothers y'all. No, the excuse and the disclaimer that you put out that the real album is on the way. Because we've seen this shit with artists that are signed to labels. You gotta put the label album out. And then after that, you get the that's where the mixing is. You put it out. It's just a cleanup. And it's been years.
Starting point is 02:29:33 It's been a cleanup. It's been years. And you manipulate the audience. You put it out. My thing is, again, I tried something new. If it don't hit, he had the number one album in the country. But if it don't hit, you can say, yo, Dick, I went a different direction artistically. I put something out. I tried something new if it don't hit he had the number one album in the country right but if it don't hit you can say yo dig I went a different direction artistically I put something out I tried something new here's something for the diehards there you go yeah or don't even say that just put out another project immediately after yeah you know I'm saying but don't even
Starting point is 02:29:58 even even pushing it to number one was yo if y'all do this I'll give you that I forgot that piece that was again and I think all of that I shit all that's just business I think all that's just part of the business I'm gonna do but we see these niggas do whatever they could do to get the album try to shoot up the number one so if I gotta say this yo cool go buy this album if y'all make it number one I'll give you this I know y'all might I'm telling you the things that me as a consumer feel like is a smack in the face to me when I hear it. I'm not telling nobody else how to feel about it.
Starting point is 02:30:29 But when I hear that, yo, this should have been my main. Well, nigga, they make it the fucking main. You've been living with these records. You don't let everybody hear these records. Y'all don't have Think Tank, the label, the A&R. Your niggas heard them. Everybody heard them. Should have been my fucking main.
Starting point is 02:30:47 This is to your point about when Metro resequenced fucking Thug's album. Like, take some time and present the shit the way it should be presented. True. And then if we going to kill it, then live with it. See, even that. I don't look at that as that. I look at that as same way like I use Gunna's last album not not the one that just came out classic should have
Starting point is 02:31:11 went triple oh the previous one um DS forever they got this thing where the album come out and then two or three days later you finding a way to put the album back out again whether it be with one new record whatever you want to call it I think that's what happened in thug case a metro's version we just flipped the songs around and we added the two songs they just changed instead of saying deluxe they called it metro's version because we've seen that happen with a bunch of albums the album dropped friday and monday there's a deluxe with two new songs from big acts the weekend did it i don't care about that i'm just saying that this looks at your words that's why i said it's the word part that was holding y'all up.
Starting point is 02:31:47 Because it's the same practice. They just changed the words. Dropping the album and putting it back out for whatever reason, it's the same project. The words speak to your intent. So while the action may be the same, the intent don't be the same. So they should stop trying to sell people shit and then telling them that is half-ass shit because you manipulate
Starting point is 02:32:08 audience they should stop doing that and you I'm trying to be the audience no but I'm saying basically I ain't put that much like I get arrogance of being so blatant about it I get it I get it I understand that I'm just saying from there in is they are trying to manipulate the audience. That's clear what they're doing. I'm trying to just I want to shoot these salesmen.
Starting point is 02:32:29 You should be a little bit more covert about how you manipulate your audience I think. I think when these niggas are sheep you can tell them whatever and they still gonna go
Starting point is 02:32:36 and they're proving it. They are proving it. We don't have to be covert. I can tell you exactly what it is and y'all still gonna run out and buy it. They don't give a fuck enough
Starting point is 02:32:43 to put out the real product on the first release and I don't give a fuck enough to talk about them for more than five minutes got it i'm with you there you go uh well let's try to knock out a few of these okay because this one should be simple this is from this is our part of the show segment this is from mass 3nj hello master nj what's up mass mass says this is a conversation i seen going around and one i had before that i wanted to ask you guys well all right in a committed relationship is it inappropriate to like thirst trap pics on ig especially of obtainable women or men i myself stopped because we had to talk and I wouldn't like it if she was liking
Starting point is 02:33:26 shirtless pics of guys that she knew. Is this compromise you guys would respect or do you think it's inappropriate? I think it depends on your boundaries and your relationship. Me and my girl don't trip over that shit. It's whatever. Me and my girl, we don't trip like shit.
Starting point is 02:33:43 We race to certain chicks' pictures because we like the same shit. But it it's funny we were just having this conversation and she was saying i don't give a damn what you like she's like but if it's a picture and it's just her ass or something and i see you like under there i might feel a way i'm not gonna do this i can see being an issue like if it was a fucking dick print pick or something like that you'd be like all right dog yeah you wilding now so something like that you know it's really just whatever y'all in your relationship whatever y'all agree upon like we'll work in parks in his wife relationship or ishing his girl me and my girl is for the
Starting point is 02:34:19 gentleman that asked you got to have a conversation with her true i think it's compromise i think it's healthy compromise it is i think if it's if it if you arrive at that um verdict mutually then it's cool i think if one person is forcing the other person to do that i don't think it's cool because it's something that you're not really volunteering to do um i don't care i don't even know what my girl likes to be honest with you i't. I've also had some friends in relationships where they were like super overprotective about that shit.
Starting point is 02:34:49 Like, yo, you got to unfollow these girls that you don't even know type shit. It's like, fam, that's an unreasonable. One of my friends'
Starting point is 02:34:56 relationships, they had to go unlike all the shit. That's crazy. Really? Unlike? How long did that take? I mean.
Starting point is 02:35:03 Just delete the account at that point. At that point, bro, I've been liking it for years. I think it's insecurity, but. No, I feel you on that. I make it a point to make sure my name is right next to all the baddies' pictures so my girl can see it if she follows them. And I better not see her name under nothing or else. Oh, that's what?
Starting point is 02:35:20 Got it. You run your house, you don't run around in it. Yeah, that's it. That's right. No, no, true that. This is one of those areas where the double standard applies. Sorry. I'm me.
Starting point is 02:35:30 Mel. You, you. What would you take me to? If you had someone who cared about you. I would honestly arrange, really, if you're that active on social media, kind of probably be a little bit of a turn off Turn off Yeah for me
Starting point is 02:35:48 But you can go To the Usher concert And dress with your ass out And twirl around And do whatever the fuck You want I haven't done anything But you said
Starting point is 02:35:55 You said you wanted to No you said You said your man Couldn't say nothing What about me Going to the Usher concert Yes with the outfit Like he had on
Starting point is 02:36:02 And you said Nobody could say Your man couldn't say something to you. You said that. You really, really had a problem with her outfit. These niggas,
Starting point is 02:36:10 wait, hold on. These niggas, I don't give a fuck about her outfit. Don't answer the question with the question. Yeah. So it would be a turn off if he was liking pictures,
Starting point is 02:36:17 but you should be able to do that and he say nothing to you. Just a yes or no. No, I mean literally. I understand. Don't do that. Don I mean literally. I understand. Oh. No, don't do that. Go on, go on. Go on, go on.
Starting point is 02:36:28 I understand. I think that, you know, Ice's point of saying, you know, the gratuitous stuff, if it was like just like an ass as a picture and he's liking it, I'd be like, really? Like, really? Are you serious? You know, like that impressive? Because you had it.
Starting point is 02:36:41 What if it really was a nice ass? If it was your man? If it was like, OK, fine. I have no problems with him appreciating other women's beauty. I love this shit because for the first time, I'm with someone and we have the same type of woman. That's never happened. It's usually exact opposites.
Starting point is 02:36:57 Like what she like is not what I like. Me and my girl, we love the same type of chick. So this is, we be right there. Click, click. I'm like, damn. What type of thing? The type that I like. Slim thick?
Starting point is 02:37:11 Like, I'll call her, damn, yo, she just put, 13 minutes ago, you already under that. Like, we joke about this shit. Oh, so you're policing her? No, I'm not policing her.
Starting point is 02:37:19 I said we joke. You're policing the likes. Joke. Ha, ha, ha, ha. So you police joke. No, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, sir. I do that shit too. Police Academy. No, sir. I be doing that lights. Joke. Ha ha. Ha ha. So you police joke. No, no. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, I do that.
Starting point is 02:37:25 No, sir. I do that shit too. Police academy. No, sir. I be doing that shit. Police academy. No, sir. Nah, police joking is the shit.
Starting point is 02:37:32 Nah, nah, nah. I see what you did. Ha ha. Ain't no policing over here. Yo, you made that move. You thought I wouldn't see, but I see it. Ha ha. Man, just nine minutes ago.
Starting point is 02:37:41 Why you couldn't wait? Ha ha. Nah, we be getting. We have fun with that shit. What we be getting We have fun with that What a laugh We have fun with it Listen I don't know
Starting point is 02:37:49 Sky yo What your own police joke Nah You police police You like FBI police Secret Service That nigga's like The SWAT police
Starting point is 02:38:02 I don't do none of that Alright come on now I got some more We got some more We got some more. We got some more. Am I wrong for not compromising with my ex slash mother of my child? Just to
Starting point is 02:38:13 be as concise as possible, she believes Oh, and this is from Jonathan Q123. Just to be at just to be as concise as possible. She believes I should work on my flaws before regaining a title of being together she has flaws as well but I don't remove our title until she but I don't remove our title until she improves hers is that right yes that's right she has flaws well all right I don't believe
Starting point is 02:38:40 in that I believe in improving each other while being together not abandoning each other while there's improvement to be made especially when you've shown improvement and they add new things to the list. This is my first real relationship, and it's with a woman older than me that grew up in dysfunction, dysfunction like most of us. That's the end to that, you gentlemen say. I toss it to our panel of experts. It's tough I think that uh I don't know how old he is in comparison to how old she is sounds a little controlly um especially if she putting you on a back burner while you quote unquote grow so now what if you get your shit popping now you could come back I think that's what I think that yo you go over there
Starting point is 02:39:25 get right and then come back over here is that's a weird way to handle a relationship it's a little it's a little funny
Starting point is 02:39:31 I understand though it could cause it could be deal breaker shit like it could be deal breaker shit everybody has our deal breakers
Starting point is 02:39:38 and relationships that we you know what I mean you gone some things are tolerable some things are not I just think it sounds a little funny like when you like yo well you could go over there, get right, and then come back.
Starting point is 02:39:48 I don't really like the sound of that. I agree with you. I don't like it either. But I think there are exceptions. It depends on what you're— That's what I said. Like, if it's some deal-working shit— What are you working on?
Starting point is 02:39:59 You know what I mean? Yeah, like, if I'm your partner, and I feel like where you're trying to go, you can't get there while we're together. Like, you got too much focus on me. Like, I'm too much of a distraction. You calling it love, but I can see how it's affecting your work. Then I'm going to remove myself and say, hey, go try and get it done. Get yourself right. Yes.
Starting point is 02:40:20 There's something that is. But would that affect them more? What if that caused them more, you know? Bill's character. Bill's character. Oh, shit. I believe that. It does, but if you say that,
Starting point is 02:40:31 okay, I see that I'm distracting you. Wait, what? Listen, hold on. Stop doing that. I hate these niggas. They need to fucking stop doing that. They're always laughing and being vulnerable.
Starting point is 02:40:41 I'm trying to talk to you as my brother, bro. Let me hear it. So you're saying that if you see somebody struggling and you're the distraction, you're going to remove yourself and tell them to go focus on their shit. And it builds character.
Starting point is 02:40:54 Don't forget that part. Yeah, and it builds character. So it's not the fact that you may feel like they're too much, hold on, they may be possessive and you want to remove yourself. It's just like the Conway is like, nah, go focus on your job and you want to remove yourself. It's just like, the Conway is like, nah, go focus on your job and shit like that over there.
Starting point is 02:41:08 Go focus on work. I'm going to move myself because I feel like I'm a distraction to you. If possessiveness is distracting you from work, then we need to remove the possession.
Starting point is 02:41:17 But then it may be, okay. But then you're removing what they became possessed of in the first place. That's what I'm talking about. I don't think it'd be that easy to remove yourself. Oh, speak for yourself.
Starting point is 02:41:30 I'll get the fuck out of here. You potting. I'm not potting. Nigga, you had bitches climb through your window and trees, nigga. Because I left. Exactly. So it wasn't easy. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 02:41:41 I get the fuck out of here. All right, but they still made it hard for you, Joe. They made it hard, but it's still a easy. That's what I'm saying. I get the fuck out of there. All right, but they still made it hard for you, Joe. They made it hard, but that's still a distraction. That's a distraction. I see. Okay. All right. Hang on a second.
Starting point is 02:41:55 Parks? Yeah, I think it depends on what the behavior that you got to work on is. Like if it's... I've had people that have chemical dependency. You might have to go handle it like to the point where you're destructive,
Starting point is 02:42:10 you're fucking up the house, you know what I mean? You might have to go work on that yourself and then maybe we can talk. But then when y'all say maybe we can talk, who the fuck
Starting point is 02:42:18 actually waits? We gotta stop doing that. I mean if you really care about them and stuff like that you may be there if it's a rehab situation or something like that. But a lot of people don't wait.
Starting point is 02:42:27 When people say those lines where go take care of it and I'll be here. Niggas don't wait. It depends. And there's also the scale. What's the chances? Depends on where you are in your life. If I'm around when you get your shit right. Everybody in here has been going about their business and bumped into somebody that they used to fuck, date, or be in a relationship with.
Starting point is 02:42:45 Talk about it. So, I mean, you don't have to think that you're waiting for that person. You could be going on about your business, and they went on about theirs. Y'all like that spin in the block. Cross later. You have that catch-up talk. Hey, what's been going on? And shit is lighting up.
Starting point is 02:42:57 True. I see what you're saying. Like we just seen Raga. Raga came in and shit lightened up. But I look at it. Okay, that does happen. It happens all the time. That's not what I was saying, but I agree.
Starting point is 02:43:07 There's also a sliding scale. If we're talking about chemical dependency for this kind of extreme example, maybe they're in a terrible self-destructive spot, but they can get to a point where it's at least manageable and you can be around them. Or you knew them prior to. Yeah. And I loved you prior to, and now you went down this slippery slope.
Starting point is 02:43:24 I can't be a part of that because I got this going on. I can't let my kids see that, whatever the case may be. So if you get yourself together, maybe you can come back, and we can hopefully amend this thing. That's a good example. All right. Good luck, John. Hopefully we were able to help.
Starting point is 02:43:41 John Q, you got a heart? Let's see here. I don't have anything in TV that I need to share about. No, Hijack. Oh, Hijack is fire, by the way. I'm finally watching it. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:43:54 I finally watched it and caught up. That shit is fire. Stop. Wait. They said Hijack on Twitter is the number one show. That shit is fire. I'm not going to get carried away, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Starting point is 02:44:02 That shit is great. Don't say nothing, because I'm about to watch it this weekend. I got to struggle hard to understand them accents and motherfuckers. Oh, we put on subtitles.
Starting point is 02:44:11 I can't watch TV without subtitles. Anything. But it's great so far. Yeah, it's great. It's great so far. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 02:44:18 And I was telling you guys like the past. Hey, it ain't gonna, I'm sorry, ain't gonna be no TV reports soon too so let's get them all out now. Let's get it in, yeah.
Starting point is 02:44:24 What do you say, man? There's a series also on Apple called The Crowded Room. I started it. Tom Holland's Superman. Yeah, I started it. Or Spider-Man, I should say. I started it. I only watched one episode.
Starting point is 02:44:34 A little bit of a slow burn, but as it's getting further into it, it's getting really, really, really, really good. I'm going to ask you a question real quick, man. How do you feel about what Tom Holland said about Hollywood? How he's taking a break from acting? Yeah, like how do you feel about that? What do you think that is? Well, after watching this series,
Starting point is 02:44:52 I understand why he said it. He said that this particular role in the series called The Crowded Room, that he needed to take a break because he's one of those actors that gets method, real intense. And he just said it really wore on him. to take a break because he's, you know, he's one of those actors that gets method, real intense, you know, and he just said
Starting point is 02:45:07 they really wore on him doing this role. to the Joker? Yes. Okay. Yeah. But he said that I love, he said something,
Starting point is 02:45:18 I love movies, but I don't love Hollywood or something like that. He hates the business. Yeah. He hates the business. He's trying to get as far as he can away from it.
Starting point is 02:45:24 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So, because, you know, you are, you know. I mean, I. Actress and actor. Listen, I'm all for this younger generation of actors, actresses, athletes like Naomi Osaka.
