Hey, press record, man.
Just press record.
Yeah, I was.
Just press record.
We're going to start this one a little differently because these guys are in an amazing mood.
How's everyone doing?
This is the Joe Budden Podcast or the Joe Budden Show, whatever the fuck it is.
I'm just tired of seeing people say, yo, that Joe Budden shit is crazy.
So, formerly known as Al Nene's Podcast Later, episode 106.
Yes?
I think.
I don't know.
Wait, what?
What episode is it? It doesn't matter. 105. Don't worry about it. It's 106. Whatever? I think. I don't know. What episode is it?
It doesn't matter.
105.
Don't worry about it.
It's 106.
Whatever, man.
Whatever.
You know, if you're new here, welcome.
For us, for me, it's Rory Lanes.
To his left is Maul.
To my left is Quest, our videographer for the day.
And through the window is Pat.
Salutations, gentlemen.
How is everyone doing?
What's up, fam? in mall comes in every week ladies and gentlemen with a different excuse
as to why he's late that's not true so today we and it's always the wildest story that you ever
heard so this week he comes in late saying yo man stop and frisk is real. It's real out there.
Well, I mean, it is.
Black people are well aware of that, as was Maul before he dealt with it.
You're not surprised right now. No, no, no, I'm not surprised.
But you know what it is?
When you get older, there's just certain shit you feel like, really?
Like, come on, man.
Maul, you be uptown in the Bronx in the hottest of areas in this Nike dope boy scammer track jumpsuit.
That is a new scammer uniform.
Yeah, you got some fancy Yankee hat on with like a very delicate icy something.
You got a lot happening.
You look like a dope boy.
You do.
I would pull you over too.
If I was a cop, I would stop and frisk you.
Okay.
That's fair.
I would.
Call it what you want.
Sorry.
Sorry. Okay. That's fair. I would. Call it what you want. Sorry. Sorry.
Okay. You look like exactly the guy on Gun Hill
Road that fits the description.
Oh my God. I look like every guy on Gun Hill?
So with
that said, we've had a very busy week.
Certainly.
This is where I
want to start. Let's just get right
to the shenanigans,enanigans Let me tell the listeners
About my music weekend
Ross came out when?
Thursday? Friday?
Something like that
Oh man oh man
Man oh man was I in heaven
Now hold up
Let me give the listeners some back story here
Because I'm going to talk a lot this podcast
Maul and Ice have argued Jeezy versus Ross in our group chat for the past year.
For people like me who don't really follow the both of them so exclusively, it's annoying, right?
It's annoying because the argument is
they both are not at their peak.
That's what it is.
And then Marlois combats that with
Ross is making better music, right?
So for a year, I've had to deal with that.
And I haven't purchased Ross's,
what's Ross's last album?
I think it was Black Market was the name of it.
I didn't buy it.
It wasn't bad. It was actually a pretty name of it. I didn't buy it. It wasn't bad.
It was actually a pretty good album.
But I didn't buy it.
It just went under the radar.
Ross has projects to go under the radar.
But anyway, I bought this Ross album, and man, oh, man, oh, man.
Oh, man, oh, man.
Music heaven.
Amazing album, right?
So I have that album, and I don't really give a fuck about anything else
because I have this Ross album.
Really.
That's how in tune I am with the job he did, Bink did, whoever the fuck was involved in that project, Sav.
I was just like proud dad.
I was acting like I A&R'd that shit.
That's how fire the Ross shit was, right?
It was hard to get past the intro because the intro was so fire.
Then it was hard to get past track two.
Track two, yeah, the shit that Bing did.
Yeah, and then it was, it's just hard, right?
So, but that's not the funny part.
So I'm in heaven with the raw shit.
Saturday morning comes.
It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful foggy day.
It's rainy, it's snowy in Jersey.
It's fucked up over here.
Rory calls me early in the morning
because like the fucking gay to gay dudes we are rory has to listen to every drake release with me
for the past what four releases now so i forgot that drake was dropping saturday you know the
pushbacks and i know you don't but i mean just with the pushbacks And just I wasn't following exclusively
I wasn't really following
The leaks
Really
I wasn't really
Yeah
Whatever
So Rory calls me
Like a kid on Christmas Eve
At fucking
Seven o'clock in the morning
On Saturday
Well that's my version
Yeah
Now we'll go with your version
Yeah
I did start a conversation
With Happy More Life Day though
I will admit
Yeah you said
Happy More Life Day So that reminded admit Yeah you said Happy More Life Day
So that reminded me
So I said hey so wait that's today right
Rory says yes
I say alright great
So Rory's gonna come over later
We're gonna fucking check it out right
Then I talk to Maul
And I tell Maul
Who was in London with Drake for the release
And I wanna have this documented When I call Maul and more life comes up.
I say to Maul, I am not discussing this project at all.
Zero.
On this podcast.
And you said what?
You just laughed.
I laughed.
And I asked you if Complex had the exclusive If Complex had the exclusive
Like interview
I thought Complex
Put the gag on you
Like yo you can't go
About it on your podcast
And talk about it
You gotta wait
Come here first
I forgot
Cause I knew you was
Gonna talk about the project
I mean you can't not
Talk about a Drake project
Good or bad
You can not
Not talk about
A Drake project
Well and that's
Where I'm going
In the event that The project about a Drake project. Well, and that's where I'm going.
In the event that the project was a bad project, I was not going to be the one to say that.
Okay.
Or dissect it or address it like I would have just left it alone.
And so when I said that to you, I was totally,
I was totally of the belief that he would be dropping some bullshit.
Okay.
But you know what's funny?
I don't know,
I don't know how,
music is a matter of opinion, right?
And some people are going to love
certain projects and certain records
and some people are going to hate them.
You're not going to please everybody on every project.
But I don't understand how people still feel like it's capable for Drake
to drop a completely whack project.
I think he's too musically inclined, and he's too strategic,
and he's too thought out for it to be whack.
You may not like it.
It may not be the Drake that you wanted.
But to say a complete Drake project is is whack let's it's crazy let's not get married to that word not to the
caliber of what we know he's capable of yeah okay i only talk drake i only compare people to
themselves right so when i talk drake i'm comparing drake to the drake right that i love now even though
in in contrary to what my diss tracks may say and what this podcast may have said and and what
whatever may have happened in the past year these two gentlemen do know that i love and support
drake actually in the room just now while we had that shit on and I was dancing And Sin was fucking shimmying in the bed
Rolling
She was like
If Trey could see this right now
Like this nigga just thinks that
I don't know what him and Nicki think
But
My point being
I was gonna stick to that more
I was not going to address that shit at all
So then Rory comes over
We're listening on the Apple Music shit.
Track one plays.
Okay.
Track two plays.
Okay.
Track three plays.
Okay.
I think track four is when Rory looked to me and said,
I think this was when the Skepta track was on or just went off.
And Rory said, I'm starting to get skeptical.
Now, Rory can speak to my demeanor.
At this point, I'm still quiet.
I am not saying a word.
Right?
Somewhere along the line, it's like that nigga knew
that niggas had had enough of the plan.
I think right around passion fruit.
Well, be clear,
once I edit all the London shit off,
this is great music.
This is a great project.
This is what views I feel like should have been.
To me, I think,
because there's a mood for everything
and everything Drake has done on this album,
to echo what you just said, I think it's literally what he was trying to do with Views,
except this one doesn't feel empty.
Views felt empty.
This one felt like he gave a fuck.
Well, I want us to get into that.
Now, no disrespect to Skepta or gigs, but when I want to hear that music and that style and that brand of me,
I just don't want to hear it with a Drake playlist, and I think I echo a lot of American sentiments
when we say that, or a lot of U.S. citizens. I don't know how many of us were ready for that,
but when you edit around that, there's a lot of fire here. So now, more.
edit around that is a lot of fire here so now mall i listened to what is the name of it lose you and i thought about something that you said a long time ago on this podcast when we were in
the midst of all the drake beef shit you said drake's issue with you is and if for those of you that don't know mall is a ovo mall
mold planted here in our podcast for real mall is the one fucking you are mold but you're the
one that let me know that drake was dissing me on a record that wasn't coming out for another
three months two months yeah but i mean everybody no everybody that. No, everybody, no, I did not.
But we don't need to get into that.
It's spilt milk, water under the bridge.
But damn, what was I saying just now?
Lose You.
Oh, Lose You.
My favorite record.
I know, because you then played the album
for the next 35 hours.
But my question to you, Mo,
Mo said Drake was probably mad,
or Drake felt the way, because i should have said that to him however i felt right about that views album i should have
relayed to him you said that to me i thought that was the stupidest shit in the universe because
you just don't move like that you don't you't, you're not hitting somebody to give your critique
on everything that they do,
even if you have
a relationship with them.
That's how I feel, right?
But when I listened to Lose You,
he said that same thing.
He said that.
And then I felt bad
and then I felt like
I owe Drake an apology.
So now I want to ask you
as the OVO mole,
do I owe Drake an apology?
Honestly.
Honestly,
as my friend here.
Now those of you that don't know
Maul
Back when he like
Had a great thinking
He was like my
Conscious
Conscience
Or whatever the fuck you call it
He was that for me
So he would tell me
When I was wilding or not
So I'm asking you
Was I wilding?
Tell me
Tell me
Does he have a leg to stand on
With that argument?
And this is just
My own personal thing
And then we'll get into views
I mean not views
Absolutely
More life
Are you fucking
Yeah
Let me answer your question
Yes
I feel like you owe him an apology
But I'll tell you why
Because
Y'all had a relationship
Prior to this
I don't like that
Y'all had personal conversations
Y'all Y'all had personal conversations Y'all spoke
About music before
So
You gotta understand
You got years of knowing Drake
I mean y'all not the
Closest of friends
And buddy buddy
But
Y'all have known each other for years
You was around for
You know before Drake
Took off and became
The mega star that he is
He was very clear in
How you had an influence on him
when he first began to write raps we got all of that more okay so i'm saying there's history there
so he looks at you as someone who he feels like come on joe we've had conversations we've had
personal conversations before i should have called drake not saying you could not saying you should
have called him you should have i should've text Drake To say yo this is
Or I should've DM Drake
To say
Not even that Joe
Yo this is trash
What you could've did
What you could've done
Like any other time
Just wait until you
Ran into him
You didn't have to go to
A public platform
And say that
You could've waited
Until you ran into him
In the club
Like y'all do
Have done plenty of times
And just say yo fam
You know I wasn't really
I had
You know I had You know
I had too much invested
To do that
But I
I don't wanna
I don't wanna get married to that
It's a podcast
I mean we were
That's what we talked about
On podcast
No but I understand
I understand that
But
I'm just trying to
To that extent
But I'm just trying to
See through his eyes
It don't matter what we think
Right
It ain't malicious
Right
And that's the
That's the part that gets lost
When you listen to
I listen to Lose You
And I have to ask myself that question
Right
I have to
No
Well jealous ones still do envy
So
I don't care
I mean anybody with ears
Knew he was gonna say something
But
Alright so that leads me to my
Next question for you gentlemen
And I've asked this before
Why is he dissing Tory Lames this way?
There's a lot of
Tory shots on there
I feel like that's a
Wait what'd you say Tory?
There's a lot of Tory shots
On this whole album
Man
I'm not
Listen I'm not getting to that
Who's throwing shots shit
With y'all no more
Cause I was completely wrong
On the Remy Nicky thing
So
I'ma stay clear of that
But I do know that
Him and Tory
We know that he is
Talking to Tory
When he named
Tory's album title I Told Told You, when he starts talking about phone conversations.
Only Tory had 90 phone skits saying the dumbest shit in the world.
I said on this podcast, I said he must have never dealt with the feds to have those conversations.
And sure enough, here comes Drake with the same fucking realization on track one.
See, that's telling to me. Not that I delved the same fucking realization on track one. See, that's telling to me.
Not that I delved.
The third bar on track one.
Yeah, you getting into Tory bar three, my nigga?
Well, their thing is a little personal.
I was clearly.
It's a lot of underlying things that are not known that they have an issue about.
So that's a personal very personal thing
all right so listen let's so listen to this and i want to get into all of these beefs
except for mine because that's not a beef um oh are we moving on from no no no no we're staying
right here but now so but you can't tell me that and then when he turns around and tells the week and the city is bigger when everyone isn't beefing so why not apply that with tori
tori now has gained some momentum tori is producing quality content if y'all are not
gonna be friends you you two niggas and y'all are not gonna squash it let's hold up for a minute
man these niggas got these niggas fucked up And more tune for your head tops
Let's get to the fucking shits
Let's get to the shits
Let's get to it
No I can't be the only one thinking this
Thinking what?
Tory and Drake cannot continue to fire at each other
Behind their fucking celebrity walls
and their entourages.
They both produce quality music.
We want to see it.
It would be great.
I don't think people are too pressed
to see Drake and Tory get together
and be friends.
I really don't think so.
Well, what I'm saying is...
I need a Tory and Drake collab ASAP.
Weekend, maybe that's different.
Everyone was happy when Weekend and Drake got back together
because we know they make great music together.
Of course, Rory.
That's not what I'm saying.
I don't think they're pressed to get together,
which leaves the other alternative of,
let's get to the shits.
I don't think they're pressed to do that.
And I don't think Drake would actually really get into a full out.
Yeah, Drake is...
Maul, he dissed the man throughout the entire album.
Lie, lie.
Go ahead and lie.
I'm not saying anything, man.
I'm not dissecting bars no more.
I am, I am, no.
I was wrong.
But I do know that they have a problem with each other.
I do know that.
But I don't think that...
But to this extent...
Because it's a personal thing.
It's two Toronto guys, man.
So it's a personal thing.
It's a very personal thing.
Okay, so let me go to my next question,
which I've asked before in this podcast why is he still dissing meek well in my opinion i think that he has his foot on meek's neck because when people really when you step back
and look at it meek really tried to finish dra Drake With that you don't write your own rap shit
That could have really really
Went a whole nother way
And really damaged Drake
Had he not been Drake
I've said on this podcast before
That was Meek's intent
His intent was to finish Drake
I was tired of the Meek bars
And I think y'all didn't agree with me
I just think it came to the point
That Drake was so surprised
How easily he won that battle that he's happy.
I want us to stop saying that.
What?
We have to stop saying that.
Yes, he easily out-barred him, out-tracked him, out-musiced him.
He won in every visible area you could possibly win in, right?
For now.
For now.
For now.
I'll say forever.
I have to see how that plays out, Maul.
That's not necessarily true.
I've been saying for a while, I think Meek did a lot more damage than we'll ever know and see.
I think Meek did a lot more damage than we'll ever know and see.
And when I hear albums like this and I hear the voicemails from his mother,
I listen to the way he started this album,
like it's a few things there's telling on here when they get to talking.
Where are those emotions coming from?
Like when his mom is speaking about him being disillusioned, that anxiety,
like where is that stuff coming from?
See, that's the guy that made views. And that leads to my next point.
The guy that made views. I caught all the slack in the world from my loving critique of that album.
Drake may not have liked it, but Drake is a sensitive nigga. So cool.
I don't deal well with sensitive people ever.
Y'all know that, right?
Nobody that heard Views and heard this album can tell me that the same man is responsible.
The man that he was in the same state, in the same place, I'm saying.
So when I was saying- He echoed that afterwards in the interview and on the album.
That's my point, Rory.
If Drake is echoing these things on interviews more,
and throughout the album,
that, yeah, that album was just an album.
It wasn't really him.
He wasn't into it.
Then why do I get all the fucking slack?
If I was right.
Because people don't like you.
But I'm saying even from him.
Like when he says
Because he may have a point
Maybe Maul is right
And I shouldn't have gone public
Because of our
What semblance of a relationship we had
Alright cool right
Let me just make my point because my memory is bad
Right
This fucking guy
Damn it hold on let me get it back
What was we just talking about
Why was he so sensitive about it
Now that he's echoing it
Yeah so
If he feels that way
And even on the fucking
Cause even if he's not talking to me
I feel like on that lose you song
When he's talking about him
Taking ownership of shit
Like him needing closure with shit
That speaks to a man with shit going on
If he agrees that it was shit going on,
and I was saying it's shit going on,
and I'm concerned because this amazing man,
this music is not really it,
I get that the casual sheep listener
would think that I'm hating
and would think that I'm using this.
The same thing you said about Remy.
That's why I get so taken.
I personally get taken aback when I hear people say that
because I wasn't doing that because I wasn't doing
that like I wasn't just trying to do some shit for some attention or some shit but that's off
on a tangent my main point is if he agrees and the fans agree can we because we can't agree that
views you know in hindsight in retrospect he was in a different place even if you enjoyed the music it's not really the same guy
yes no speak to it let me hear it because views like like i said before i think that this album
is what views was supposed to be it's just not empty and to your point there i think it's human
nature have you ever told someone about themselves and they get even more defensive because they know
it's true yes that happens a lot if he's in that state of mind and you're saying something that he knows he's gonna get
defensive it's human nature people do that when you tell them about themselves and deep down they
know it's true they're gonna be even more angry no i think i think uh again i think drake's whole
him not liking what joe said it's not about what joe said it's it's how he said it and where he
said it screaming yeah it was it was how he said it and where he said it Screaming Yeah, it was how he said it and where he said it
Yeah
It's not what he said
It's not what you said
At least I don't think it's what you said
Because you weren't hating
You weren't saying Drake is wack
You weren't saying none of that
Like you were professing that
Yo, this is a guy that I really hold to a high regard
And he kind of like disappointed me on this one
There's nothing wrong with saying that
But it's where you say that.
You understand what I'm saying?
Like it can be taken a certain way.
Like why is this guy on his platform just bashing me?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like if you have that conversation face to face, I feel like it comes across different.
Because now it feels like, yo, listen, fam, I'm going to pull you to the side and say,
you all right, man?
What's going on with you?
Because you didn't really sound like the Drake that I love, man.
What's up with you?
It's a different, it comes across differently.
Now, when you're on your podcast yelling, you're sweating, you're slapping shit and all that,
it seems like there's a lot of anger there.
Like this guy is angry at me.
There was a lot of anger there.
But it can be taken wrong.
It was anger because this was an artist that you hold to such a high regard
and you feel like he disappointed you. Yeah. That message got lost because of where you projected the message at
if you project that message in a room with drake having a conversation i think he takes it
differently like damn i ain't no joe really cared about me like that like he really asked what's
going on with me drake probably doesn't geted that a lot By many people Like yo you alright
Man everything good
Like cause I kinda
Sense something is not
He probably doesn't get
Asked that question much
But when you go on
Your platform
It just seems like
You're doing something
For your attention
It seems like you're
Doing something for your own
Personal reasons
You understand
Other than you really
Genuinely care
I'm attacking Drake
To get my podcast numbers
I mean that's how It can come across to some receive it that way that's what i'm saying if
you're stupid you can but i don't want to make this about me right i want to get back to the
celebration of music because my main point was that between ross and drake I'm thoroughly pleased. I'm thoroughly pleased with everything.
Round of applause.
Round of applause.
I'm thoroughly pleased.
I'm happy.
I'm happy.
More subs.
I love it.
Right.
Fucking rather you than me.
More subs.
Rather some shit.
Right.
I'll be honest with you.
I agree with the Serena sub
Because I was tight when Serena popped up married
And I don't even know her
I was really upset
So I'm with Drake on the Serena subs on there
But I don't like the hotel shaming that he did
He's dissed the Intercontinental
He's dissed the Sheraton
A lot of hotel shaming from Drake in the past few years
Well that was my next question
Did he diss the Sheridan?
Yeah.
He doesn't stay at the Sheridan no more.
No more.
I don't remember the exact line.
He said, y'all niggas really think y'all teaming up is scaring us.
Y'all niggas is arrogant.
Y'all stay at the Sheridan.
All that is embarrassing.
Tell your old head I'm all for going there again.
He ain't even dying.
I bought that.
That's what I said.
He's barring them niggas up, man.
Sometimes you just got to let niggas know where you at in life.
I'm glad I barred his ass up, man.
He don't stay at the Sheridan no more.
I just stayed at the Sheridan in Houston for five days, and it was lovely.
Drake got to stop hotel shaming, man. the Sheridan no more. I just stayed at the Sheridan in Houston for five days, and it was lovely. Drake got to stop hotel shaming, man.
The Sheridan is great.
I mean, if you're not Drake, yeah.
Man, that nigga made so far going in the Sheridan, I think.
Yeah, how far going is he from that?
Yeah, so don't shame it when fire came out of there.
What else did we come away with from this More Life album?
Some barefoot appropriation, I felt.
I felt a little offended.
I'm pretty sure you threw your shoes on the light pole.
You don't need to.
Oh, no.
I cleaned the whole room we was listening to the album in,
in about five minutes.
When I tell y'all that after that OVO set went off,
that Rory, as in Rory then played that Drake album.
Again?
If it started at 6.
God forbid I listen to an album twice, right?
Twice is what he calls that.
That aired at 6.
They pushed the time back to 6.30.
We listened to More Life until 3 a.m.
Well, Rory did.
That's a lie
But
Ascent
Ascent was a long time
We were like
Yo this is a lot of More Life
Well it's More Life
I need a break from this life
It's
Too much life
It's great music man
It's great music
And I
I mean you know
I kind of felt like
This was going to be
A dope project
When I heard
How he was going about it
And when the track
Listening came out
But I think that people
We can't
This album is clear
That we can no longer
Box Drake in
As just a rapper anymore
More more more
We've been stopped
Calling Drake a rapper
No but a lot of people
Still are trying to
Box him into that
Like I've had this
Yo he's not rapping
He's not just a rapper
More you gotta expand
The people No this is Who are you talking he's not rapping. He's not just a rapper. Mo, you got to expand the people.
No, this is people online that I'm just reading the reactions from the album.
Man.
This is what people are saying.
And that's why I'm laughing at the reactions as the album's being played.
Because I'm like, yo, y'all just don't get it, man.
Y'all really just don't understand.
He's not just a rapper.
Why is this album not an Apple exclusive?
That's a great question. I couldn't come up with a theory of it no i don't know i don't i was a little shocked on how something must happen
behind the scenes where he was like i'm off y'all well they made their money back off views pretty
quickly uh so i think he was probably tired of like fuck that i going to get my money everywhere else. It recouped $60 million in 90 days.
That's amazing.
Just didn't know what it's worth, I think.
Well, if I'm trying to uncover the Apple mystery here,
I have to go back to know what's coming in the future.
You have to look to what's happened already.
If you're reading this, it's too late, right?
There was no physical On that album
That was a digital only release
I believe so
I think maybe like
A few months later
There was a couple
But yeah
For the most part it was
We never found out
What contract
That counted against
No
It had
It had cash money on it
If you look at the bottom
It was cash money
What does this have on it
This has cash money on it too I believe Everything's gonna have Cash money on it If you look at the bottom It was cash money What does this have on it? This has cash money on it too
I believe
Everything's gonna have
Cash money on it
Isn't it creepy
That we ended
The last podcast
With I'll see you guys
Next time there's a beef
And then Ross
Immediately drops that joint
Rapping over the old
Whole shit
Coming at our Birdman
Yeah
That song lets me know
That
Ross really pays attention to music
Like he's a real fan of like music
Because a lot of people don't
Recognize that track
As being an ill track
And I've been waiting for somebody
To do that record over
Yo I hate the people that Maul speaks to
Who don't recognize that track
As being an ill track
A lot of people don't
A lot of people didn't even know
What that track was
Well today
Yes unfortunately You're right That's what I'm talking about You're right Today Yeah that's bad Who don't recognize that track? A lot of people don't. A lot of people didn't even know what that track was. Well, today, yes, unfortunately.
You're right.
That's who I'm talking about.
You're right.
Today.
But that track was like the perfect track to address somebody on.
I want to call it, of course it was a diss, but I don't know.
It was more like sitting your man down saying, you wiling.
I don't even know if it was malicious.
It wasn't malicious.
I don't think it was malicious.
I thought it was a really good
approach to dissing somebody if you will yeah i don't even really call it a diss it's just he's
addressing i don't know what a diss is anymore i don't think that record is a i wouldn't say
that's a diss record when you address some shit it's labeled as a diss when you say someone when
you when you say anything other than he's the greatest fucking artist in the world, people take it as a diss.
That nigga said, yo, it hurt me that your ice was fake.
That's a diss.
That's not a compliment.
I don't know if that's a diss, though.
See, that's my thing.
That's not a diss.
All right, so if I say to you right now, yo, it hurts me that your breath smell like chitlins and ass.
Yeah, I mean, that hurts my feelings.
So because I fucking framed it that way.
Yeah.
It's not a diss.
I wouldn't take that as a diss.
And especially because
Ross and Birdman
have history with each other.
I don't know.
I can't speak to their history.
I don't know.
I don't know about none of that.
They been running around for a while.
That's what,
basically the record is wrong.
Like, damn, my nigga,
like, like I fucked with you.
But don't tell me that.
None of these rapper niggas is fucking really friends rapper and rapper world and rapper world only caled is really
but but ross is professing how much how much admiration he had for for birdman i think the
overall i think that's just the new way to diss somebody it's not a diss i think that's the new
way to diss somebody and i'm And I'm not saying that.
Wait, well, my argument I'm about to make counters against me. Because Remy definitely didn't take that approach.
Counters against me dissing homeboy last year.
But, yeah, I think.
That was a diss, if you need a definition.
That was 25 minutes of dissing.
No, I just punch harder.
But I was dissing the nigga who I have all the adoration for in the world.
That's what I'm saying.
The way Ross did it was not.
He showed admiration in it.
Yeah, but the Ross shit, the Cole shit, to who?
Wale or whoever the hell he was talking.
Yeah, the new shit is, yo, let me have some words right quick with this nigga that I'm supposed to be fly with but I'm gonna do it on the record.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Birdman replied, right?
Yeah, Birdman said
he ain't into that whole shit.
Thanks, Birdman.
Breaking news.
Wait.
What?
Breaking news live
from Fort Lauderdale.
I don't know where Birdman be at.
Let me shut the fuck up.
I'm not gonna get shot.
But I had mentioned
when 4PM in Calabasas
came out
that I thought, you know, I liked the puffy Calabasas came out that I thought, you know,
I like the puffy disses that was on it, but I thought, you know,
Puff, he's open about not writing his rap.
So to beef with somebody on record that don't really rap, I thought was odd.
And it's the same situation with Birdman, but again,
I don't think it was a diss the way 4PM and Calabasas was to Puff.
I dead just think he was talking to Birdman.
Yeah, I don't think that's a diss record.
But people are going to label that.
But in the same sense, this goes back to Joe talking about views on his platform.
Ross could have had that conversation behind closed doors.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like, the way that you address something, I think, is playing a large part in how it's received.
And it was the song for your rollout like you
put it out the day before your album you can make a case that ain't really a rollout you just put
some shit out that's a rollout in 2017 there ain't no such thing as a damn rollout in 2017 and
to speak to my point that i made last week i just want to cover it real quick back to what is a hit
that no frauds conversation we were having no fraududs doesn't feel as impactful at all a week later, does it?
No, I mean, I think we all echoed that it wasn't a hit
and that it would be going soon.
So what they're doing is—
When Nikki said Remy should write a hit in the next 72 hours,
I said that's not a hit, though.
So why would you say that?
Well, today's standard is a hit
because if it gets all the streams, then it's a hit.
See, that's the difference, man.
Let me tell you something.
I was having a conversation with, oh, my girl.
Who else do I fucking talk to?
And I was trying to tell her how we gauged if joints were hot back last decade.
Like, if we ain't hear your shit coming out of car Like you probably wasn't popping like that
Like when the weather broke and it was hot out
If the clubs wasn't, if the streets wasn't
Like that's how we gauged music
That's how we knew what was impactful
Today we don't really know because we do everything from our phones
So we can't really see it
I think no frauds confused people
Because we were waiting for a response from nikki and
that was it that just wasn't the right place to respond so i think that record got lost in that
like it was like um it's a cool record but that's not what the people wanted right then and there
so it's kind of like you should have just if you want to just put out a record you shouldn't have
addressed anything on that record you should have just put out a dope verse on a dope record
and let the people do it and then address the beef at another time.
But I just think that was done wrong.
I was trying to do the back-to-back shit, which we saw last week.
Yeah, that was done wrong, though.
But speaking of Nicki and the Ross album,
in that intro Ross had made not a little shot,
but it told Meek that he didn't trust Nicki
and you had to leave Your people alone sometimes
And let them learn on their own
Which I thought was a
But I could understand
Why Ross would tell him that
Right
It's a fact
Watch how you speak on my name
But I could see why Ross
Would feel that way
About Nikki
Because she's so close to
The opposition
At that point in
time she has a personal relationship with Drake shit this doesn't really have to do with me and
Nikki but I'm not trusting anyone that's coming out of a 10-year relationship and now you're in
a relationship with me I'm not I can kind of see where you're going with that yeah I'd be a little
weary already about who you are and your personality and what this is exactly.
Right.
Okay, now stop.
That's when you're faced with a very interesting crossroads if you are Meek Mill and you are of the frame of mind that you just spoke of because Nicky did a lot for his career.
So now you have to ask yourself the same way I was asking the people in Londonondon during my stay there what do you do if
you're a london act and drake comes to you and you're at the crossroads of do i keep my music
do i give it to this you know do i my career here meek is faced with the same thing in that in that
position that's kind of difficult to expect a young man to walk away from that type of light
that's a large light it illuminates a lot of shit.
Like, for the beating that people say Meek took
in that Drake war,
I like where he stands today.
How so?
I like how he came out of it.
I like how he looks.
Eventually, now we all said
all he had to do was lose the emo shit.
Just lose it.
Stop reacting to everything
Take your phone out your hand
I think that that message finally got through
I disagree
To him
He just wilded out on me
No that wasn't wilding out at all
That was a temp check
See that's the difference
Well no I said in the group chat
I liked what Meek did there
I just wish he was better at
Saying what he actually meant
Nah he said what he meant
That was a G-check.
That wasn't an emo, I'm reacting emotionally.
That was, I see you bitches.
This is what it is.
I know what it is.
Stop playing with me.
You have to do that.
That's totally different from emotionally just going off on a...
Somebody got through to that nigga.
I think he looks good after the Nicki breakup.
And I don't even know how we started talking about this, but.
And about the Ross.
After the Nicki breakup, after back to back, after the biggest act in the world,
shooting at you for two consecutive years on every time we hear from him.
Nicki, not Nicki, fucking Meek still has a star-like presence.
He's still got his people around him.
He's still employed at a very high frequency.
We don't write him off.
He's still out here.
He looks great.
He still raps.
His next project is anticipated.
Yeah, but he took a beating, man.
I just don't think it's to the degree that people say.
I think it's
We are waiting to hear
Another fucking Meek joint
Exactly my point
I was happy to hear Meek
Come in on the Ross joint
Even though I think
He might have approached
The track wrong
But that's none of my business
We disagree on that
Yeah I like Meek
On that song
That's one of my favorite songs
Nobody
I mean we all know Meek
And you know
He gets on a record
And he does what he does
But
It's the music
People are not Of course it's funny And cool to still know Meek And you know He gets on a record And he does what he does But It's the music People are not
Of course it's funny
And cool to still
Kill Meek on Twitter
Which is a little corny
But
As soon as that music
As soon as that music hits
Nobody care
If the music good
Yo
Kill a nigga
When they do something stupid
Ross showed that
With 50
Like 50 was killing
Everyone at that time
I'm not
Ross put out
Better music at that time
And we was like
Alright that Pimpin Curly
Shit is funny
But Ross is
We're gonna know
Exactly how hard
Pause
Those Drake blows
Hit Meek
When Meek puts out
His next project
Why?
Because if the people
If it's not
He just put out a project
Did he?
DC4 shit
Yeah
Which people liked
Oh see
That's my point Me kind of went meek
has put out two projects since no just one that's my point then no it's kind of like nobody's even
talking about it no that's not your girl that's not fair that's not fair that's not fair how's
that not fair that's not fair to say nobody's talking about it we've we're in that we're in
the microwave era where we don't talk about stuff anymore you talk about what's hot no that's not true i just made the point that
no fraud was the hottest thing smoking last week this week nobody gives a fuck we don't care nobody
i don't have never we have never even spoken about the meek project ever we have never had
a conversation about meek's project On this platform That says a lot
Yeah we have
We spoke about DC4
We have spoken about DC4
Yeah
It was a big release
I don't know
And that's only
That's my only point
But it came away
Like a lot of projects
Come and go
Like it wasn't
Yeah that's what I'm saying
We're in that era
Where shit comes and it goes
I'm not putting that on Meek
I like where Meek stands After that battle is all I'm saying.
This has zero to do with Meek.
I want to see Drake and Tory go full all out sing wars.
I don't know if people want that.
Toronto accent wars?
All right, well, shit.
Things, in fact, did progress, especially with Yandy and Erica.
Who really had
Mendeecy's heart?
It's true.
How did Yandy and Erica
end up with sons
only 10 months apart?
Let's figure it out, y'all.
How tangled did the web get?
It's pretty tangled right now.
I cannot tell a lie.
Some of the people
on Twitter,
they're so stupid.
Now, anytime some shit happens,
they just tweet me.
Is this a case of Mendeecy tweet me is this a case of Van Deces
is this a case
of Van Deces
wait
why are you just
typing that
and I always read it
in the voice too
it's hilarious
and it's still
funny
it's still as funny
as it was
the first time I heard it
in the event
that these guys
were to have
a karaoke off
a rhythm off
right
who do we who do we think comes out to victor here
uh now listeners i have no idea where which way mall is gonna go with this one
we have no idea they kill me regardless man if i like something or i hate something they kill me
yo you know what so you keep saying because look, y'all killed me.
They killed me for a week on my stance on the Remy thing when I said I hated it.
Then the next week when I say I like something, oh, yeah, you just like everything.
What are you talking about?
That was the first and only week you have ever been killed about anything.
No, but then I got killed the next week for liking something.
So that's my point.
It doesn't matter if you like something or hate something.
Somebody's going to have something to say.
Listen, man.
Yeah, you got killed for hating one way, hating too hard one way, and liking too hard the other way.
Yeah, that happens.
That happens in music.
But back to your question, I mean, let me say this.
What?
Let me say this, though.
I think we're past the point that you just dismiss it. No, no, no. Tory, I won't say this. What? Let me say this, though. You don't... I think we're past the point that you just dismiss it.
No, no, no.
Tory...
Aubrey, if you're listening, you can't dismiss it.
You've addressed Tory too many times, so you might as well go for the fucking headshot.
But I will say this, though.
When Tory put out his controller version...
It was hotter.
Yeah.
For what it was.
I think the masses agree that that was... Yeah, that was the hotter. Yeah. For what it was.
I think the masses agree that that was.
Yeah, that was the one.
Yeah.
But I can't just hold that one to Drake's, you know, all the singing Drake has done.
Yeah, no, no.
He don't get too much credit for that because it's easy to take somebody's song and make a doper freestyle.
Yeah, it is.
That's easy to do.
But if we're talking about those two in that type of field,
I would have to side with Drake on that.
And this hypothetical, this is just singing.
No one's rapping.
No, I don't want to hear either of them rap against each other.
I don't either.
Shit.
Tory may have more credibility in this realm if we're doing the fucking fake.
Is that what's going to win this one?
Well, Drake's going to win everything if we're going off that.
I'm saying initially here.
He's really been this way his whole career.
Drake is now Jamaican on his fifth album.
He might win off this actually being him,
and he knows how to do this much better.
That's all.
If I have to introduce Sports like statistics here
But in rapping
Drake is getting
Tory the fuck out of here
Well I don't know
Since the all star break Rory
It seems like
Tory is
Has a better record
Since the break
Than Drake does
Hmm?
No
What happened?
Well his projects
Tory's projects?
Tory has one project though
You pay much more attention
To Tory than we do
no let's see
his album
you're not counting
alright what I'm saying is
y'all are right that's not what I'm saying
what I'm saying is Tori has shown
that he's able to produce
quality enough content
to make this an interesting fight
is what I'm trying to say
to whereas remember a year and a half ago on this podcast you could find it I was saying why is
Drake even addressing Tory Lanez ignore that nigga ignore him he'll go away he didn't go away
he continued to do what he had to do and and like Mo said it's a little bit more personal man
karaoke off man I'm not going to get married to that
Because I want to get back to
My favorite question
I like to ask people to rank and rate things
So
Ross
Back to my Ross album
I'm dipping and dabbing from more life to rather you than me
Because they're both just
I enjoy them both
And they both provide a great balance
So it got me to thinking about where slaughterhouse and myself ranked ross on our all
time lists when we were putting everybody in their proper uh group groupings right i think i might had Ross between 30
and 35 on my all time list.
Now he's hard to
put somewhere because
his greatest talent
which is his ear
is hard to
quantify really.
So he's difficult to gauge.
So I wanted to ask y'all where y'all would rank him
all time i do my rankings off discography out of their whole catalog and i would put ross that's it
i think that's the factor that you have to come down to if because there's too many technical
shit like if you're doing rapping then you put in eminem number one no matter what and a Kanye West is gonna be
50 because he's not really a rapper and doesn't write write write his rhymes so
I just go off music like literally what the best music is and who is the best
music the music is definitely the biggest factor because if you get
technical it's hard to even talk about this you're gonna talk about five
fucking hours I'm following so I put Ross with his discography And what he's done in his career
I put him 20-25
For me
He's in there
He might be a little higher than that for me
I don't think there's many rappers
That have a better discography than Ross
I can't
Maybe
Top 20 for sure
Top 15 maybe.
You are smoking crack.
I can't name more than 20 rappers that have a better discography than Rick Ross.
Well, I disagreed.
Yeah, before y'all even said where y'all put him, I disagreed with that.
Like, Ross's body of work is phenomenal.
That can't be where it stops.
Even his Apple Jackal Underground are still great. That can't be where it stops. Even his apples that go underground are still great.
That can't be where the criteria stops, though.
No, that's just the biggest factor in it.
There's no, there's no stop to it.
So if you start to factor other things in, if you factor other things in, depending on
what they are, I would ask you to tell me why he, how he got to 20.
And I'm not even too mad at that because
some i think crook or me i don't want to put it throw anybody's name out there but somebody have
ross in that 25 slot area yeah somewhere around game him and game are close on my list i don't
think that and i've probably said it here before i don't think ross gets the credit he deserves as
a rapper i really don't think people really credit him for his ability to rap and put words together well that's because he only has one
flow that may be so but my thing is he still is like with his pen i agree you understand what i'm
saying like a lot of people don't really listen to ross and you know i think a lot of people are
still hung up on that whole 50 shit correction officer no a lot no a lot of people got out of that nobody no no he got out of
it but what I'm saying is a lot of people hold that that's like his only like the only chink in
his armor yeah you understand what I'm saying that people can point to no but I'm just saying
that that would be the only thing that people would like yeah but you know I'm saying is that
really him he got somebody else's name he not even yeah they get into that we
get I get I don't care about all of that I'm listening to music and what
somebody's saying and there's not I can't really think of off-topic I mean
if I sit down and really just think about all the music I've ever listened
to love I might be able to push Ross further down the list, but I don't think that there's 20 rappers that have.
I damn near think that the top 15,
at the top 15,
almost damn near didn't even count.
Like when I was,
when I was doing it,
like there's 15 names that you just can't even argue against.
Like when you really think about it,
because whoever is going to say that Rick Ross is better than Redman.
Like who is ever going to say that Rick Ross is better than Redman. Right.
Like who is ever going to say that Rick Ross is better than Ice Cube.
But.
Like there's 15 of those legendary names. But people will say that Ross has a better discography than Redman.
There's people that will say that.
People will say that.
Yes.
There's people that will say he has a better discography than Cube.
People don't.
You know what I'm saying?
Like Ross has a lot of replay value.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
I'm just saying it.
People would say that.
People would say that.
Well, time out now, because I don't even talk music with people that are not informed.
So, I get people would say that.
Right.
I wouldn't keep having that conversation.
Well, maybe I would.
Ross has an amazing discography.
Cube has back-to-back classics.
Right.
And, I mean, Cube's just impact on everything.
And I think impact is a big part, too.
Once you drop a classic, that's really like 10 albums.
I think Teflon Don, it don't get the classic credit from most people, but I think it's a classic.
Didn't I just ask that a few weeks ago on this podcast about Teflon Don?
I did, right?
I swear to God, I'm like a fucking superhero.
What this album did do
I don't ever want to hear about
Damn and this sounds so harsh
And I don't mean this
To come off this harsh
I don't want to hear about
Deeper Than Rap no more
That's what this album did
This is a great album
Yeah we
Deeper Than Rap
And Teflon Dawn
To me were Rick Ross'
Best two albums
This album made sure
That that changed
Forever
Yeah this was a dope album
I'm not quite ready
To say it's better
Than Teflon Dawn
But I need more time
It's not
I still need more time
It's just not
Yeah it hasn't
It hasn't been out
A week yet
I just said I need time
We gotta live with it
For a while
But I feel like
When Teflon came out
I had that feeling like Alright this right, this is some shit.
And the moment I heard Rather You Than Me, I didn't have that feeling.
I just had it.
This is a really solid album.
Totally different.
See, y'all love Teflon Don.
I love Deeper Than Rap the way y'all love Teflon Don.
And it's pretty split.
I don't think that's the consensus of most people is split 50-50.
This is where I'm about to start getting real tricky.
That's the consensus of most people is split 50-50.
This is where I'm about to start getting real tricky.
I think that Deeper Than Rap, I could really probably argue,
is a better album than Teflon Don by my standings.
But Teflon Don is probably a greater album than Deeper Than Rap.
This album, I wouldn't even really look to do that.
It's a different time. It's a different album album a lot of these songs don't even have hooks like this is a real different
this is more up my alley so when I say I need to give this more time Teflon Dawn's a greater album
because it had a whole bunch of trap hits after hit after hit after hit this album got a lot of
soul food though so I gotta see how that resonates later
but that would speak to your point about where somebody is in their in their life when they make
an album like ross is probably in a different i mean naturally he's grown he's progressed i think
he wanted to make this album i don't think there was a forced bone in his body for every single
record shout out to mike mike har Mike Harard. Mike hit me.
He texted me.
And me and Mike don't text too often.
But he texted me after the raw shit dropped,
and he said he made Glasshouse.
Because that is what we were attempting to do,
that style of, I understood what he was trying to say.
I just laughed.
And I said, yeah, that shit is hard.
It's just hard.
I think that's a good transition, though.
I posed the question on Twitter
after this shit.
Who has the best ear for beats?
Period.
Me and Nas.
Me and Nas is crazy.
No, it's crazy.
You niggas is laughing like that.
What the fuck is going on in here?
You niggas with all this
laughter is what i don't understand you know more tune for your head watch how you speak on my name
you know your name yo you know who has a great ear that people never give credit fat joe yeah
fat joe's good fat joe get no fat joe has a great impeccable amazing yeah but he doesn't god like
ear he doesn't give he doesn't get that credit.
And everybody in the industry knows it.
The industry.
I'm talking about the fans.
The fans don't know shit.
But they don't give him that credit.
I want to meet the fans that you be talking to.
People in everyday life.
You would never sit somewhere and have a conversation just casually with somebody
or listen to music and they would say Fat Joe.
They wouldn't even mention Fat Joe.
I wouldn't casually sit somewhere and have a conversation with someone about music.
Yeah, but that's, I mean, that's you.
I don't want to talk to people.
If you're in a barbershop just talking music and some people, Fat Joe's name,
my point is this, Fat Joe's name does not come up in conversation with hip hop.
And it should.
Because if you listen to Fat Joe's albums, just listen to the music.
You can put it up there musically, but a lot of dope albums that people listen to all the time. Well, let's answer Rory's albums. Just listen to the music. You can put it up there musically, but a lot of dope albums
that people listen to all the time.
Well, let's answer Rory's question.
Because immediately
when you pose that question,
people of my age and ilk
go right to Fat Joe.
Well, I answered my own question,
and I think Puff has the crown by far.
I don't even think it's a competition.
I put Ross up there, though.
Ross is definitely in the top five't even think it's a competition. I put Ross up there though.
Ross is definitely in the top five I think
for picking beats.
But Puff,
come on.
I don't even think it's...
I just want a full...
I don't know what beats
you're crediting Puff with.
I've spoken to Joe...
The Bad Boy sound.
I mean I know
D-Dot was a lot
a part of all that
but I think Puffy
was at her hand
in every last record that came out
I think that too
From Ready to Die to Faith
I think he has an ear for music period
Oh yeah
I mean we just
He is on the list
I'm just talking about what we credit him with
He's on the list if we only use Puff albums
Right
If we never use nothing but Puff albums
He's on the list
I'm just For debate debate sake for my own like i just want a entire ross project
maybe about 12 12 to 14 songs totally produced by justice league that's all i want i think that
that is that is the album that needs to happen.
A complete Ross Project executive produced by Justice League.
Are they on Rather Me Than You at all?
I don't think they are.
I don't think so.
I'm not sure.
I think you want Justice League dropped.
And I told Rook, because I had to use it when we was in Atlanta with Rook.
I told him.
I was like, yo.
And he told us about all the business.
Like, yeah, it's a lot of things in the way.
Wait, hold on, Maul.
Let me tell you. Before he even did all that
That nigga walked us into some shit
Cut a red light on
Put a chair in the middle of an empty room
With a disco ball on the ceiling
He basically DJed track plus
And started playing crack after crack
It was so much crack
That I then went
I looked for that crack the other day in my computer
yeah the shit he played it was overwhelming at a point though because when it's so much good
yeah when it's so much great music it's like come on man you i just fell in love with the last track
you played now you playing another one that i don't even care about that like it's just
it was just way too much they get they just, I'm still waiting on my batch that you promised me two weeks ago, by the way.
Rook, I'm also looking for Bink.
If anybody sees Bink, tell him Joe Budden is looking for him.
I have a proposition.
Be hard to turn down.
Bink, hit my line.
Pause.
Nah, no pause.
Hit me, nigga.
Fuck out of here.
Everyone gives Justice League their credit, but they don't get brought up when people
bring up.
Oh, come on.
Come on.
I promise you.
When you have a producer, I understand what you're saying.
Joe, you don't talk to nobody, so you can never have this conversation.
I'm not shooting for your head top, so watch how you speak.
Listen, you don't speak to people the way Rory and I would just speak to people.
Who do y'all?
Rory speaks to a bunch of fucktards.
No, but I mean, regardless of who you think he speaks to, you don't speak to anybody.
And you speak to everybody on Fordham.
Yeah, but so what?
Those are people in the world that listen to music.
Oh, God.
Their opinion matters.
Y'all just stop opinion shaming.
You got to stop doing that.
Shit.
You got to stop opinion shaming. You got to stop having stupid. Shit. You got to stop opinion shaming.
You got to stop having stupid opinions.
Yeah, so go ahead with your opinion.
I don't even remember what it was on.
No, when people talk producers, Justice League is not.
They don't come up.
There's mad other people that get brought up before them.
All right, just for shits and giggles here,
and just because I'm in a good mood, the vibes are right,
vibes are back in here.
It's a very calm podcast.
I was on one last week.
I want to apologize for last week.
I was on one last week. Yeah, we were for last week. I was on one last week.
Yeah, we were trying to tell you.
I was.
No, y'all was whack last week.
Y'all was whack.
We was whack.
What happens is when y'all are whack, I try to overcompensate.
And I ask then I do bad when I try to overcompensate.
Okay.
But.
I'm not going to ask the sin about that.
Totally not going to do that.
Oh, wait a minute.
Hey. Put these away. Oh, shut the fuck up. Totally not going to do it Oh wait a minute Hey
Put these away
Oh shut the fuck up
Now what point was I
What were we saying just now
Tell me
Help me out here
Justice League
Name me the producers
That you think
Are mentioned
Okay
Both of you
I challenge you
See that's the problem
People just say shit
And we don't hold them accountable
But hold on Joe
That's why
What Rory and I are saying is a fact,
because we just had a conversation based off the Swiss Beats and Just Battle.
Nobody said Justice League.
I did.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
If you did, I probably said Justice League,
but they probably wouldn't do too well because their music is too beautiful.
I lied, I lied, I lied.
That's what I said.
Justice League, for me,
when you talk about current people
that are still active, actively producing,
I'm not naming very many people before them.
So I would like to hear the names that y'all think are...
Just came out and said that Pharrell
is the greatest producer of all time.
Just says a lot of wacky shit, though.
No, but see, opinion shaming.
Hold on, wait, let me finish.
The problem with Just and his wacky shit is Just is smarter than a lot of us.
So when he's saying some shit that you think is a little wacky.
But that's not far-fetched because we definitely had the Neptunes and Pharrell on that.
Quiet as cap
I may have heard
Timbaland tell me
The same thing before
My memory is bad
I feel like Tim thinks
Tim is the best producer
But
I think in a
In a quiet moment
He spoke that way
Of Pharrell as well
I mean
All of them niggas
From that Virginia crew
Yeah
Shout out to Knot
Knot Love the batch Shout out to younotts Knotts, love the batch
Shout out to you, Black Fist in the air
Knotts is amazing
Who else?
Bink is from that Virginia crew
Who else is out there?
Missy, Tim, obviously
The producer, Tim, Pharrell
It's a lot of them out there
The same way Seattle was like that
It's a lot of them out there
I'll put it in perspective
I think a regular rap fan Is bringing up Mike Will Before he's bringing up Justice League That's a lot of them out there. Hey, I'll put it in perspective. I think a regular rap fan is bringing up Mike Will before he's bringing up Justice League.
That's a fact.
I think that.
I'm done talking to y'all.
That's a fact, though.
That's a fact.
What else y'all want to talk?
What else we got?
See, he can't opinion shame.
That's a fact, though.
Yeah, this shit is crazy.
I'm asking y'all what else do we have on the slate is what I'm asking.
Oh, let's change the vibes.
We did.
Y'all niggas talking about
some motherfucking mic.
Things, in fact, did progress.
They did.
Especially with Yandy and Erica.
Get the fuck out of here.
I know everyone thinks
we're fucking crazy,
but Chance the Rapper
definitely subbed the fuck out of us
on Twitter.
Everyone calls us fucking crazy,
and then the shit we say happens. How are we still crazy? On Twitter Everyone calls us Fucking crazy And then
The shit we say
Happens
How are we still crazy
Chance gave Rory
A lot of bars y'all
No
Chance was echoing
What I was saying
He was giving you
Bars
Oh that wasn't happening
That was definitely happening
Alright fine
Everyone kept saying
I was on the
I'm on Chance's list now
Alright let's talk about it And I'm like fam I was saying what he was definitely happening. All right, fine. Everyone kept saying, I'm on Chance's list now. All right, let's talk about it.
And I'm like, fam, I was saying what he was saying.
Give the people some backstory for the people that do not follow social media
and current happenings as swiftly as we do.
Let me bring this up on the Googles.
All right, so I'm going to talk in the meantime while Maul looks at his phone
and while Rory brings up Google.
Maul, are you familiar with this Chance story?
Did that make it to Fordham?
I saw what he said about
him explaining the deal
with Apple. Chance went on a Twitter rant.
It seemed to be random,
but I mean, everything is random
to me who's just in his bedroom watching
the channel ID.
Was it random?
I'll take the crazy rap.
I didn't see,
me personally,
I could be wrong
because I'm wrong a lot.
I didn't see anyone else
having this
is Chance Independent debate.
I only heard us.
Well, I'm not as arrogant as you,
so I'm going to assume
that other people...
You're not.
You're much more arrogant.
Jason.
A lot of people did have that.
It was a thing.
We didn't create that thing.
I don't think we created that. That was a huge debate. didn't create that thing. I don't think we created that.
That was a huge debate, is Chance independent or not.
Yeah, it was.
That's a huge debate.
Fuck that.
I think we started that whole debate.
Yeah, I think we brought it.
We might have mainstreamed the debate a bit.
And Chance is a friend of the show.
I thought we were respectful, right?
Yeah.
We love Chance. Yeah, we champion him a friend of the show. I thought we were respectful, right? Yeah. We love Chance.
We champion him a lot on this podcast.
And I gotta go to Chicago on Friday.
So pull up the rant.
Alright, it starts with, I never felt the need to correct
folks on my relationship with Apple,
but now that more people have
tried to discredit my independence.
And more chewing for your head top, so watch how you speak on my name.
He then put at Joe Budden
at the end of that one. I want to clear things up apple gave me half a mil and a commercial
to post coloring book exclusively on apple music for two weeks that was the extent of my deal after
two weeks it was on soundcloud for free i needed the money and they're good people over there
that was the ring which echoed exactly what i said that he made that album completely independent
and then say yo apple you can hold this for two weeks for a fee i love when people do what rory
just did no rory that was not our dispute it was that is not where we disagreed that wasn't even our debate our debate was not was chance independent during the
creation of coloring book yes it was because we went through the list of the rappers like he
couldn't get that without apple come on that wasn't yo that's why i hate when people do this
no i said that of course i said that but that wasn't the point the argument was is Chance independent I
made a lot of points as to why I did not think he was that was one of them his tap so don't try to
corner me to one point because it's all documented we can revisit it if we had interns and producers
that would be here before we even started this argument because I'm arrogant and all throughout
my life all I ever want people to do is tell me I was right.
So that's what would happen.
But so here we are.
Fuck the other shit.
Whatever.
That's in the past.
Do you now still think Chance the Rapper is a independent artist?
Hit the thing.
Yeah, come on.
Is this a case?
All right.
Is this a case? Alright Is this a case?
Alright
Yeah
Was this a case of Mendeecees
Having his cake
And eating it too?
His chance of having his cake
Because when he wasn't with Yandy
Was he with Eric?
Because when he wasn't with Apple
Was he by himself?
Was he with Eric?
Would he be back with Yandy?
Is he back with SoundCloud?
Because if both women
Carried a term
Because if both
If both of them have the album
The release would have some overlap
The release would have some overlap
Two weeks
Two weeks of that overlap.
Maul and his fucking hood-ass Grand Concourse voice over the voiceover.
Amazing.
Yeah.
I'll answer your question, and then I shoot back.
Yes.
Wait.
Answer.
Ask me again what the question was.
Do you still think Chance is not independent?
Yes.
That is my answer. You do not think Chance the Rapper is independent? Wait, what the question was. Do you still think Chance is not independent? Yes. That is my answer.
You do not think Chance the Rapper is independent?
Wait, what the?
I'm saying yes.
I stand by what the fuck I was saying.
You do a lot of dancing, motherfucker.
No, I don't.
I dance bad.
You do a lot of dancing.
There's no dancing about, and this has been my point the entire time, he ain't independent.
There's no dancing there.
Now, my question to you two gentlemen.
Wait, I don't know what side
of the fence you fall on here in this argument.
About what? Do I think Chance is independent or not? Yes.
I think Chance is independent. Okay, so
now I want to ask you two gentlemen a question.
Define independent.
You pay for your album, you own
No, no, I mean the dictionary.
Oh. I mean the dictionary
context of the English language
The definition of the word independent
You can look it up on your own
I forget Joe's semantics
He's dancing
Wait, wait, wait
You are semantics, man
Not my type
I don't want to dance with you
You are semantics, man, though, Joe
You are
You are semantics, man You've been that to dance with you, B. You are Semantics Man, though, Joe. You are. You are Semantics Man.
You've been that way for years.
Oh, all right.
We looked it up.
Independent.
Free from outside control.
Not dependent on authority.
Well, that would, yeah.
He's independent.
No!
Exactly my point.
No, that would mean he is not independent. So let me tell all of the people out there who take the context of the English language
and misconstrue words and just fucking interpret them how you see fit.
There's a lot of people that do that out there.
I'm not literal because I know what the fuck words mean.
But Joe, you can't say that.
I'm not. Wait, wait, wait. Time out, time out, time out. I'm a literal because I know what the fuck words mean. But Joe, you can't say that. I'm not.
Wait, wait, wait.
Time out, time out, time out.
I'm a semantics man.
Y'all are very accusatory with these things y'all say.
I'm semantics man.
Yes, you are.
Because I know what the word independent means.
No.
So now, Chance, let me speak to you now since you are directly responding to shit said on this podcast and I get offended.
Right? directly responding to shit said on this podcast and I get offended, right? I get offended because I feel like this podcast is one of the only places that the listenership could even get
honest fucking information if we're going to keep it a buck. Part of the reason that I started this
podcast was because I've been in the industry I hated the industry
I saw the functionality of it
And I wanted to share
And share with those alike
That wanted some information
Because you can't trust
These other mediums
With their own agendas
Who push their own narratives
For their own motives
So that's part of why
I started this
I just want to qualify there
So I get a little upset And offended When niggas for their own motives. So that's part of why I started this. I just want to qualify there.
So I get a little upset and offended when niggas who I deem to be pretty genuine,
because Chance seems genuine to me.
I think he's genuine and nice and sweet.
I take him at face value, because he's great.
You know you ain't no fucking independent act
when the very next fucking tweet says,
I took half a mil from Apple.
Stop.
Stop.
Period.
You don't need to say anymore.
What more needs to be said? Once you say I took a half a million from Apple, period, you are no longer independent.
For those of you who do not know what the word independent means, Rory, would you like to counter?
Yes.
You know, you just said you've been in the music industry.
I know you want to go with the independent definition from Webster, but there's a lot of gray area in the music industry.
So being independent in the music industry is owning all your own masters.
It's not gray area, though.
There's a lot of gray area.
They make it appear as though there's gray area because that's where the hiding of money comes into play.
But that's what I'm saying.
I'm spreading news because it's black and white to some of us.
It's gray to some others.
It's gray everywhere.
Not to me. So when, all right, let's say he didn't take a check from Apple
and just put it on Apple Music as an independent artist.
Apple's taking a fee off that.
Is he not independent now?
That's just a distribution.
He is still independent.
And because he's so big, he took an extra fee off it.
They didn't pay for none of that shit.
He didn't owe them any money.
He didn't have to recoup.
He's an independent artist.
He said, Apple, hold this for two weeks. That's just
smart business. He's independent.
That's not independent, Rory.
I'm agreeing with what you're saying, and that's
not independent.
That's not independent at all. So when an artist put his shit
in a record store, he's not independent?
Yes. It's a record store.
No, it is not. Yes, it is.
In this sense. No, it is not.
That's all it is. It acts as a record store. It is much yes it is no in this sense no it is not that's all it acts as a record store
it is much bigger than a record store i could argue it's the entire music industry damn near
it's how most consumers get their music are you independent yes so when i send my project to apple
apple takes their percentage.
So Empire has nothing to do with it.
This is a story that will go down in the love.
My bad, because we're having a serious conversation.
What were you saying?
Say it again.
Empire is an independent label, right?
No.
Empire is a distributor.
They distribute.
Is Apple not a distributor as well?
No.
No. No.
Did you owe Empire any money off your album?
No.
Come on.
Empire did it for free?
No.
Empire didn't do shit.
Then why are they on your album?
A little logo at the bottom.
No, what I'm saying is as far as funds in creating the project,
me and A-Rab made the music.
I'm saying Chance
did that.
Wait, time out.
Well, you bring it up
so I'm answering.
I had to pay A-Rab.
Not Empire.
Joe Budden has to pay.
The independent Joe Budden
has to make sure
A-Rab is taken care of.
And I'm saying
if we're taking
Chance's word for it here
and that is exactly what the deal was.
Wait, time out.
What's exactly what the deal was?
I have an album.
Apple.
You can hold it for two weeks
for $500,000.
Chance paid,
I'm sure he got a lot of those features for free,
but Chance paid his producers.
Chance paid his features.
That's his album.
He put it together and said,
Apple.
We know that, Rory.
It's the same thing. You paid A-Rap and then brought your shit to Empire album. He put it together and said Apple. We know that, Rory. It's the same thing.
You paid A-Rap
and then brought your shit
to Empire
and said put it out.
It's the same thing.
It's not the same, Rory.
I understand that
you have to argue that point
for the sake of our podcast.
But it's not the same.
Apple is a built.
Apple is a built.
I see what Joe's saying.
Apple is a built.
He feels like
Chance is not independent
because Apple is such a big brand. Well, wait. I'm going to elaborate on's saying. Apple is a built. He feels like Chance is not independent because Apple is such a big brand.
Well, wait, because I'm going to elaborate on that point.
The advantage to Apple talking to you is they are their own built-in infrastructure.
They need zero dollars from anyone, and they have the entire audience.
They control the audience.
They are the market.
So when you say empires like Apple, one is a distributor, one.
No, no, no.
It's not the same at all.
That's my time out.
That's point number one.
Point number two.
Now, he may have just described the basic point of his the premise premise of his fucking uh contract right i'm sure there
was more detail apple is not taking the same percentage from joe budden rage in the machine
project as they are taking from chance or any independent any independent act apple is not
taking the same cut from them that they are taking from chance. That's number two. Number three, name me the other acts
that have this deal in place with Apple. Because listeners, be clear, Apple, when they talk music,
is Jimmy Iovine. Jimmy Iovine is Interscope, music, old regime. Like, come on with the shits.
So when he tells me they gave me half a million
dollars hey nigga record deals ain't giving you half a million dollars people record deals are
not giving ax 500 million dollars it was 500 000 but they can't because they can't afford it apple
can i mean i might keep saying 500 million if you. Half a mil. Still, half a mil for your pocket. This ain't the
90s. This ain't last
decade. You're not just going to
Atlantic and
300. Name me the
places that you could go and walk out with
half a million cash or
liquid or anyway. Epic.
It's not very many.
And Epic, LA won't give it to you damn near
unless you went to gang and killed somebody
and he could take it back on the back end.
Sorry.
All right.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That was a low blow.
Sorry.
What you want me to do?
I'm just looking at the people he give deals to.
I'm just looking at the rappers that go over there and fuck with him.
So we got to take what, I'm just taking what Chance said for what it is.
Of course there could be some backstory there, but I'm saying he said,
I'm just taking what Chance said for what it is.
Of course there could be some backstory there, but I'm saying he said, The second that he takes half a million dollars from them with the promise of exclusivity,
exclusivity, he is relinquishing his control.
He is not independent at that point.
Yeah, I mean, he did.
He controlled. He said, this is what I want to do with my project. He controlled making the project. I, I mean, he did. He controlled.
He said, this is what I want to do with my project.
He controlled making the project.
I want to bring it to Apple.
Y'all are not arguing against my point.
I don't care what the fuck he did when he created the project.
Once he had the project in tow.
Mm-hmm.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean what I'm talking about?
Everybody in the world has to make a project, Rory.
What you do with the project is how you're labeled.
I don't care what he was when he made it.
I'm saying he had control by going to Apple and saying, yo, you can hold this for two weeks.
And he gave away his fucking control, so he's not independent.
It's not difficult what I'm saying.
He gave it away for two weeks, Joe.
It's a deal.
So you are not independent.
They no longer have any dealings, though.
Does Apple own any of Chance's album?
Does it own any of them? I? Does they own any of it?
I don't know
I would argue yes
I would say yes
Let's go with what's tangible
And what we know is set
They have no control
I know that Apple is not doing a deal with anybody
And not getting something back in return
They got something back though
Everyone ran to Apple to listen to this shit
And they probably got more streams
So we're saying the same thing
It's a deal
It's a partnership
I'm saying
I do not know
The details
Of his deal
But you're saying
You don't think Chance
Is independent
I'm saying the second
That he made that deal
So today
The deal was only
For two weeks though
They had
They had all rights
To the albums
For two weeks
You know what
You know what
Let's do this
Let's do this
Let's do this gentlemen Let's do this, gentlemen.
Let's do this, gentlemen.
Tell me how you will receive Chance's next project.
Why would I know?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Now fucking rationalize your stupidity and tell me how we'll get his next project.
Both of you.
Both of you.
Answer it.
He said he's thinking about selling his first.
Isn't that what he said?
I'm confused at your confusion right that what he said I'm confused
That you're confusion right now
Yeah
I'm confused
That you're confusion
Like what are you talking about
Y'all got it
I mean if
We will have this
No we need to
We will have this conversation
I need to understand
What you're saying
Yeah he did say that
I'm thinking about selling it
He did say that
Okay
If he's smart
He'll make another album
And say hey Apple
Look how well that did
Now give me 1.5 million To hold it for two weeks If he's smart, he'll make another album and say, hey, Apple, look how well that did. Now give me $1.5 million to hold it for two weeks.
If he's smart.
But he don't owe Apple nothing right now.
If he's smart, he would look to not be independent again.
You're saying?
That's independent.
Because that makes you not independent.
Distributing your album, that's how people take the music.
No, giving your album to the only fucking marketplace and having a deal with them directly makes you not independent.
No, it makes you a businessman.
Yeah, which makes you not independent.
You can fucking call it however you want to call it.
Being a businessman means you're not independent.
No, the second you sign that deal, which Rory is saying makes Chance a good businessman.
It does.
I'm saying that's great.
We can all agree.
I mean, we can't agree.
We don't even have enough information.
We don't know the contents of that deal.
We can assume it makes him a good businessman.
What we don't have to assume is that makes him not independent.
What is Apple controlling? man what we don't have to assume is that makes him not independent what is i going if i walk in if i walk in here next week and say to you gentlemen and we're not going to stay on this
because we've stayed on this too long already if i come in here next week and tell y'all apple gave
me a mill to to hold and release my album exclusively for a month y'all would then tell
me i'm an independent act?
Cut the shit for argument's sake.
Did you create the album by yourself?
Stop.
Stop fast forwarding.
Stop fast forwarding.
The second that I sign that deal,
am I independent?
Rory, because he has too much pride,
won't say,
yeah, I sound stupid right now. I'm the one with pride.
But Joe, they had rights to the album.
Yeah, because you won't answer that direct question.
They had rights to the album for two weeks, though.
I've been trying to let you. You keep trying to tell me about the creation
and post. I keep talking about
that period. That period.
Is he independent
when he signs that deal
and the biggest music distributor hands him half a million dollars.
Can somebody answer my very direct question, yes or no?
I can't when you're screaming.
I think that he's still independent, yes.
Of course.
I still think he's independent.
I know.
Chance, baby.
That's not what the deal is. is released that you will indeed sell even though you are telling us you have many sleepless nights
trying to decide if you will sell it nigga you will sell it you will sell it and do not feed to
me you will only sell it because that is the only way your music will be recognized after you just won Grammy for album of the year, not selling
it the traditional way.
Well, now the traditional way.
But to answer your question.
Because you did sell it.
You changed the whole topic, by the way.
And when you sell it and how you sell it.
And I'm going to answer your question if you didn't keep speaking.
Wait, that proves my point.
When you sell it and how you sell it speaks to your independence.
The same way Hov sold a million records before a record was ever released because of his Samsung deal.
Ladies and gentlemen, these are the new creative ways people have to profit off of music because streaming has made that difficult.
So Chance did sell his project
to not a mom and pop store.
Like Rory was asking me
in his earlier examples.
It wasn't a mom and pop store
he gave it to.
If I go and make
Rage in the Machine Part 2
and I give it to Maul,
I'm still independent.
If you pay me for it
and I sell it to you in bulk, I'm still independent. If you pay me for it and I sell it to you in bulk,
I am still independent.
Mall is not a major distributor.
Apple is a major distributor
with leverage
in the marketplace
with not only their own
artists, but their own artist
department. They are competing.
Apple is a compete compete it's a compete
you are not independent when you have a deal with a compete but it was for two weeks then you're not
independent i actually i actually two fucking okay that's not what you said that's not that's
not what you said you two niggas get that's not what you said. That's not what you said. That's not what you said, though.
You said today you still think Chance is not independent.
That's what you said.
Yeah, that's me and more will be revealed.
I also keep...
Nah, man.
Wait, what do you mean?
I know, change it.
I know.
I keep trying to get off this because I'm done talking about it with y'all.
No, we can get off it.
I don't care about it enough.
But I'm just saying, like, I'm just trying to listen to what you're saying.
I know.
You said you don't think Chance is independent today.
I don't.
That deal that you're talking about
Was for two weeks
And I asked you gentlemen
A very direct question
I answered you
I know
Ten minutes ago
I know
I said yes
I still think he's independent
No I said when he signed that deal
Was he independent for that two weeks
Yes
Yes
Alright
Alright what else we got on the slate
Oh can we
That's a big problem
In the community
When people just be wrong
And they hear
And know they wrong
So they'll stick to the point
Just to not die with it
Oh my fucking goodness gracious
The funny thing is
I agree with you
What's next on this slate
You should take your own advice
Oh shut up
Ladies and gentlemen
I was also
Not having a seizure
Or conniption just now
Anytime I get passionate People like to say I'm wildin' Ladies and gentlemen, I was also not having a seizure or conniption just now.
Anytime I get passionate, people like to say I'm wildin'. Yeah, you was a little wildin' just now.
But I'll let you wild.
Shut up.
That's all on our list.
Shit, is there anything else?
It's mad shit.
Hold up.
So, homeboy died.
Rockefeller died.
Somebody else died.
It's a lot going on.
It's a lot.
Hold up man
Let me put my phone out
Right quick
Y'all talk about something
Let me take my shirt off
Be comfy
We kicking it
Oh my god
Yeah you need a break
Well shit to death
If you're listening to this now
Today's a year since
Fife has died
If
You realize that time
Has flew that fucking fast
So
Rest in peace
Fife dog
And also speaking of Fife
Did anyone catch
The Chappelle shit yet?
I watched both today
Nah I didn't catch it yet
I see
I knew it was more
I do wanna
Hold on hold on hold on
I do wanna note
The shirt that Joe has on
So we can settle
This right now
Biz is your mans
Just take it
Accept it
Jesus
Wow Joe really? Are you an independent entity? Biz is your man's. Just take it. Accept it. Jesus. Wow, Joe.
Really?
Are you an independent entity?
Is this payola?
Did he give you some bread to wear that on the podcast?
Don't do that because in 2017, I don't need to promote fuck boys or fuck shit.
Hey.
Man.
That's going to be on itsbiscuit.com tomorrow.
I know.
But yeah, did you watch the Chappelle shit?
I think Maul just said he didn't.
No, I didn't.
You knew Maul didn't watch the damn Chappelle shit.
Chappelle, though, I figured at least that would be something.
I will definitely catch it, though.
For sure.
Well, it's two of them.
I watched the Chappelle shit, but I also had seen Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall last year.
So I was familiar with a lot of those jokes.
But I just was happy to see him.
Was happy to see it again.
Happy that he got that deal after turning down all of that money.
I'm fucking with you.
Yo, can we talk about real quick, and nobody ever gets these type of opportunities,
but that photo that everybody's talking about, Drake with Sade, that's a pretty big deal.
Because nobody's ever seen, you don't ever see Sade at all.
So do we think that a record is coming?
And if so, how big is that?
Drake using pictures with women as rollouts that
motherfucker use j-lo as a rollout then for a sample hey listen no i'm not mad at the law i'm
mad i think it was great j-lo is gonna fuck drake up man i would i'd take a drake and shawty record
of course you absolutely would i think a lot of his sound Comes from Sade To be honest
I can see that
That darker
I know a lot of people
Give Aaliyah that
But I think
A lot of Sade
Is influenced there
I saw that picture
I didn't really think
Much of it
A lot of
Like Rory just said
A lot of his music
Does sound like
It's influenced by her
Anyway
I also saw a picture
With her and Trey
So apparently
They were at some type
Of shindig
Or function
It was a concert
I guess
Oh okay
Where people are seeing
Sade
Sade is great
And amazing
And anything that she's on
I would like to hear it
Yeah
And especially if her
And Drake are together
That sounds like
It makes sense right
Was that photo
Of her daughter
That was on the timeline
Was that really her daughter
I don't know
Only you guys
Look at daughters
And more with his
Fucking 18 year old She's an adult that he likes on instagram oh my god i didn't know she was 18
i asked and you you had the information already
you said yo dog she's only 19 I was like okay
Was this a case of Mendeecees
Having his cake
And eating it too
I'm just saying
It ain't a throw in the bus
I'm kidding
I'm kidding
What we will hit on
So a few quick things
Ben Affleck
Apparently
Speaking of J-Lo
Completed treatment
For alcohol addiction
I did not hear that at all
I didn't know that
Exactly
He put out
He put something out i'll
read i'll read up a little bit it says i have completed treatment for alcohol addiction
something i've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront i want to live life to the
fullest and be the best father i can be i want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help
when you need it and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid
to take the first step i'm lucky to have the love and i'm lucky to have the source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.
I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends,
including my co-parent, Jen, who has the poor eye.
You get the point.
So, yeah, I had no idea Ben Affleck was battling alcohol addiction.
Yeah, I didn't know that either.
And I'm so jaded that I don't even know how to take it when I read Hollywood stars coming out and saying this
because then I think they're just fighting
like a traffic ticket
or some shit
and they're checking themselves
into rehab.
Now, I can't play like that
because anyone who's familiar
with me and my story,
I think addiction
is very serious.
But I would be lying
if I said I didn't have
a tainted eye
when it comes to these guys.
So Batman is an alcoholic.
Shocker there.
Is that, are we looking at Ben Affleck like Batman?
He's the current.
Get the fuck out of here.
He's the current Batman.
Yeah, that trash man.
That was trash.
I mean, but he's been Batman for a couple years.
That was super trash.
And in what world can Batman be Superman?
It's make-believe, Joe.
I don't know.
In what world?
Oh, my God.
Not the real one
And then what happened
In that stupid shit
Their mothers
And their
Superman's dad
Had fucked Batman's mom
Or some shit
What weird shit
Did they have going on
You wonder who we talk to
Who the fuck do you talk to
I hate that shit
Let's see
What else happened
Love and hip hop judge
Denied Mandisi's request
For a short sentence
I cared about that So I kept up with it But DC's request for a short sentence I cared about that
so I kept what you would just request a short sentence uh good behavior on time
sir different things different things but I guess he thought he was gonna get
time served or some shit and get go from eight to five but the judge was like nah
but you just go back in a few months and request it again and hope for a different
judge yes that's that's how the game goes.
He got time served, though, right?
So he already got like a year or two under his belt.
I'm not sure.
And some other really, really sick news.
I don't know if people have been following the story of the jury convicts former MMA fighter of kidnapping some girl.
And I don't know, some wild shit.
Those dudes are weird.
But wait, and then on the Real Housewives of one of those shows,
apparently two people were shot execution style and found in one of them girls' cars.
Like, it's wild shit happening in the news.
Real Housewives of Iraq?
What the fuck is this?
Real Housewives of Chicago?
What is this?
Photo of two men that are responsible for the death of young men shot execution style
and left to burn in Real Housewives.
Kim DePuola car or some shit.
Niggas are doing some real life gangster shit out here.
That's just the bottom line.
The point.
On reality TV.
The point of what I was saying.
Reality TV.
It's getting real.
It's getting real.
Y'all still loving hip hop?
I did see it
Do we want to talk about that yet?
Oh wait
Still on the news
Still on the news
Whoa
Did y'all see
I see
I've been reading the newspaper
Every morning
Since I was six
So I just keep up with shit
Did y'all see the Aaron Hernandez
Trowel homeboy
That took the stand
And was testifying against him
The driver
Yeah yeah
That was crazy
He's going to be the new
Snitching meme too
Because they got the first photo of him just standing like this.
See, now, time out.
See, that's where some things just need to get addressed.
And see, now, I'm not a thug or a felon or a street nigga,
so the street codes, I don't really, you know,
they change up every now and then.
Are we going to consider what this gentleman did snitching?
Some would.
Yes, and I'll say, again again i'm far from a street guy
let me give backstory for the people uh this is the gentleman who allegedly was driving the car
when aaron hernandez pulled up and rolled his window down and said what's up now nigga
blong blong blong blong blong allegedly allegedly but this is a story the nigga told on the stand
right
and then Aaron Hernandez
thought that this guy
would eventually snitch
so he went
and shot him
in the face
trying to kill him
and look
now he's on the stand
in like fucking
Tootsie's parking lot
and in a weird
twist of events
he's on the stand
that guy
then indeed
did take the stand
he then
he then did take the stand
while he does sound like a concerned citizen, as I would be,
he participated in the crime, and he's using this as a way.
Because he got, what's the word when you snitch?
Oh, I don't know.
There's a word.
I don't know.
You get free.
Exonerated.
There you go.
He's not going to face any time.
Don't try to still make me know the word.
You look like a snitch In that sweater
And his shirt
His t-shirt
I really look like a snitch
Yeah
For his testimony
He's not gonna do any time
For being involved
In the crime
So to me
That's snitching
That's yeah
If he just got shot
In the face
And told
I don't think that's snitching
Yeah
I've had this debate with a
few of my homeboys if you shoot me in my face i am telling on you yeah that but that's sorry but
but that's the thing people don't you know there's there's a snitching like you said people have their
interpretations of what is snitching and what is not snitching people believe that if any point in
time you call the police for anything and that's considered snitching i don't that's not snitching And what is not snitching People believe that If any point in time You call the police For anything
And that's considered snitching
I don't
That's not snitching
That's not snitching
To me that's not snitching
Like I don't
Now if we're in something together
And I get caught
And now you know
I take the stand
And I'm telling you
Yeah this was his involvement
That snitching
Because we were all
Doing something
Knowing we were together
I'm doing it
To get out of it
Right
And putting it all on you
There's street code
And there's civilian code
It's just two different codes
Yeah but people don't
Understand that
And then that's just this
Which code do you abide by
Yeah
When he said
If there's a serial killer
Next door
Are you telling people
And Cam said no
Here's something really important
That you two jerks
Will be very pleased
Pleased with They exhausted all their Efforts and their resources Here's something really important that you two jerks will be very pleased with.
They exhausted all their efforts and their resources,
and they managed to find Tom Brady's missing Super Bowl jersey.
I was concerned.
I know you guys were really worried about that.
Yeah, I was worried, man.
500 missing Dominican girls on Dykeman in the past 48 hours,
but they used their resources to find Tom Brady's
jersey.
That's the world we live in.
OJ had it the whole time.
It's crazy.
That's just the world we live in, bro.
Do y'all care about the conservatives turning their back on the Tommy Lauren girl because
she said some shit and put her foot in her mouth?
Politicians are crooked and fake.
Politics as usual.
I'm happy that she's suspended, but I think it's terrible what she was suspended for.
She was suspended.
She said all that wild racist shit
and then she gets suspended
for saying,
well, I'm poor choice.
Right.
That's wild.
Yeah, they are.
But I'm glad she's off the fucking air,
but I don't think
it's the end for her.
I want to encourage
all of my black,
black brothers out there
to go to the doctor
and get checkups.
The details were released on Q's death cue from Worldstar.
Did y'all read on that?
Oh, no, I didn't see that.
He had a heart attack.
A severe buildup of plaque in his cardiovascular system,
as well as a metal stent near his right coronary artery was discovered the investigators
noted morbid obesity as a contributing factor at the time of his death he was
three hundred and forty five pounds geez that's that's heavy that's a lot of
weight to carry I just want to encourage people to go get checkups and go to the
doctor and be proactive As dumb as it sounds
I know a lot of people
Live by the motto of
If I don't know
Then it won't hurt me
That's really stupid
And you're going to die
Thank you for that PSA
Thank you Dr. Button
I thought it was important that somebody get to it.
What else is going on?
Y'all don't care about the, oh, shit, I thought this was interesting.
And not only because Drake got 416 biggest shit tatted down his ribs,
and he also, they say, got a more life tattoo,
that fucking bumblebee with the plant shit.
I don't even know where to find that emoji, so I couldn't even participate.
Has anyone seen Ed Sheeran's tattoos?
I mean, I know he has them.
Please tell me it was not saved in your phone.
Well, I checked shit off that I want to talk about.
Why does Ed Sheeran have these tattoos this way?
I don't know, but that's definitely the cover art for this video.
No, no.
What you mean?
Look at him, man.
No, we going with
Ross and fucking Drake.
Yo, Chuck Berry.
Chuck Berry died.
See, I knew somebody died.
Chuck Berry died.
People died.
Hey, look,
did y'all see that
sex tape that came out
on Chuck Berry?
No, I didn't know
there was cameras around
where he was fucking.
No, no, listen to me, listen to me.
It is the funniest shit you will ever see in your life.
Like, he's lit...
I didn't know that this was a known thing.
Like, apparently in the 80s, like,
the FBI was investigating him,
they raided his crib, all types of crazy shit, whatever,
and they found this home video.
How it got out after this man died,
we can all speculate, I don't know.
Because he was trying to buy NBCbc he is literally on this tape bugging the fuck out man like he's he pissed on one girl
he said he told her i would kiss you but you smell like piss after he peed all over her oh no no no
that's fucked up go figure girls i've kissed it to smell like piss why you can't just not kiss a
girl because she smells like piss you absolutely can not kiss a girl Because she smells like piss You absolutely can
Not kiss a girl
If she smells like piss
But anyway
Then Chuck Berry
The rock and roll icon
Is then laying on the bed
He tells the girl
To give his ass a little kiss
So he you know
He puts himself like
In the Boston Crab or whatever
He throws his legs back
This is Chuck Berry
We talking about
He throws his legs back And the is Chuck Berry we talking about.
He throws his legs back.
And the white girl is, you know.
See, already that's fucked up.
I got arrested last time I put a girl in the Boston Crab.
He put himself in the Boston Crab.
That's why you got arrested. He didn't put her in the Boston Crab.
He put himself in the Boston Crab.
That's so much wrong going on right now.
And then he told the girl To give his ass a kiss
So she starts like
Licking his ass
And he farts
That's G shit
That's G shit nigga
This is Chuck Berry
We talking about man
A G
I never looked at him
Like this is
It was
It was uncomfortable
And it was like
I cannot believe that
He was moving like this
Is this like clear
It's on line
It was on my timeline
I didn't know anything about this.
And apparently this was big news in the 80s.
Everybody knew about this.
This was big news when fucking Sky told me all the same shit about you.
Who?
Wait.
Who the fuck?
Who is Sky?
I don't know.
What the fuck are you talking about?
But in my story, a girl named Sky definitely told me And the crew That you came through
And put yourself
In the Boston Grand
Get the fuck out of here
And did all that wild shit
Hell no
Get the fuck out of here
That's a lie
Maul would definitely
Still kiss her
I like this
Yeah
Maul seems like
He's not the kisser
Type of dude no more
And speaking
Going into
No more
He tried to throw that
In there
No more
Get the fuck out of here, man.
Wait, so now it became a big thing that these two chicks that I follow.
I used to just randomly hit the follow button on Twitter years ago.
It didn't take much for me to follow you.
So as a result, I follow a lot of people who I don't really know how I ended up following them.
But I follow the two girls that threw that orgy shit in Atlanta. a result i follow a lot of people who i don't really know how i ended up following them but
i followed the two girls that threw that uh orgy shit in atlanta you would be following the two
girls that threw the orgy shit in atlanta well go ahead now it was live i was there so crazy
they lied it was mad bitches there well now they say it wasn't successful and that nigga started
fighting and it was no girls or any of that But I will say
My first time
In one of those
Swinger type of clubs
Was in Atlanta too
Like I think that's
A big thing out there
It's a lot of big things
In Atlanta
And there's a lot of
Whoa
First of all fam
Fix your tone
Pause that
Fix your tone
Telling me that
There's a lot of
There's a lot of
It's a lot of AIDS
It's a lot of big AIDS out there
And there's a lot of
Just the fellas parties too Yeah Like it's not a surprise to me That it was a bunch of aides It's a lot of big aides out there And there's a lot of Just the fellas parties too
Yeah
Like it's not a surprise to me
That it was a bunch of men
At this party
That's not a surprise
You wouldn't go to
Something like that
No
Hell no
Like a swinger club
Fuck no
But first of all
You know you don't have to
Fuck when you go to them
Okay
I still don't think
I would go though
And you could go with
A woman
And just be yourself
Yeah but that's
Like when I went
Years
Like this was last decade
It was with a girl
We put robes on
Went to the little locker
We just walked around
I smoked a bunch of cigarettes
Laughing at people
Yes
It was great
See that would piss me off
We walked by
I'm in there trying to nail something
And I turn around
And a dude with a beard
And a cig is laughing at me
Nah I think people welcomed My different energy Everybody was so tense in there trying to nail something, and I turn around, and the dude with a beard and a cig is laughing at me. No, I think people welcomed my different energy.
Everybody was so tense in there.
We walked by this one curtain.
These niggas had this chick stretched out like two niggas holding her arm, each arm, two niggas holding each leg.
And they had every single one of her holes filled
And she was taking that shit like,
A.G.
Still moaning like cute
Like,
I looked at the chick I was with
That's Dara too
Shout out to Dara
Hey Dara
I turned to Dara
I said,
Man, what the fuck type of shit is this bitch on?
Yeah
She is a champ Absolutely Oh man, what the fuck type of shit is this bitch on? Yeah.
She is a champ.
Absolutely.
Oh, man.
So that was fun in there.
I didn't get in the water.
Yeah, no, you don't want to get in the water and annoy you.
Yeah, yeah, and I made sure my foot didn't touch the ground at all. That's what I'm saying.
It's just...
Actually, I felt a little shaky when the one dude asked me for a cigarette, and then I
gave it to him, and then he asked for a lighter afterward.
Then I handed it to him, he handed it back. lighter afterward then I handed it to him he handed it back
he's about to ask you
for something else
after that
yeah I know
that nigga would've
got my entire fifth
in his fucking face
if I'm stroking a girl
and she stop and go
is that Joe Budden
at a swingers party
I'm getting the fuck
out of here
you know what
that's more impressive
now that you say that
that I went there
like kind of famous still
but I'm not famous
at all really in Atlanta
because Atlanta
don't give a fuck
about no Joe Budden.
They dating
some different shit up there.
They ain't care about
that's why three people
that recognize me in there.
Maybe three.
I'm telling you
this shit is dope sometimes.
Only Joe, man.
People be fighting for fame
it's so much more fun
to have your anonymity.
Go to swingers parties
and see bitches get plowed out.
Henny Palooza's
a swinger party.
What the fuck is he talking about?
He throws a fucking swinger party state to state.
Only the green room.
What else do we need to hit?
I think we pretty much have covered everything.
Rory and Maul were very middle of the road this week.
Very safe.
Were we?
Very safe in their answers.
You just went crazy on our chance answers.
You just...
No, y'all just dumb,
but that's all right.
That's fine.
Joe says we're safe
of being phony
whenever it's just not
what he thinks.
Duh, I just said that before.
And then there's a fucking
pocket of people
that just worship
every word he fucking says,
so they just
enter our mentions like,
you guys don't ever say shit,
and they're not even listening.
But I get it
What else is happening?
They said Nicki was shooting a video for no fraud
We don't care about that
Loving hip hop
We saw last night
We didn't really give a fuck about that either
Nicki gotta wait a little while
Nicki gotta what?
Wait a little while
To what?
There's two albums that everyone's focused on
I don't think she just coming in
She gotta let that settle down.
I ain't going to lie.
That raw shit going to have a hard time getting topped.
Pause.
They're going to pause an album getting topped?
You said it's hard to.
I don't know.
I know it's early in the year.
First day of spring and all that.
The weather looking.
You know what I mean?
Shit looking. That's a good. Drake and Ross really came through, man. of spring and all that, the weather looking, you know what I mean? Shit looking nice.
That's a good,
Drake and Ross really came through, man.
I can't say that enough.
I can't say that enough.
I think we may be past the point where,
you know,
unfortunately,
where the reaction to a Drake project is unanimous.
I think we're past that point.
I saw a lot of people that had, like,
very critical reviews of this album.
Yeah.
People that enjoyed the last album.
I saw pretty much.
Then I saw some people that didn't like the last album, that didn't like this album.
I loved it.
And even if I didn't like the music, I'm just glad he's in a better space.
He sounded like he was in a better pocket.
Everything was great.
Well, I'm glad Cause I prayed
You know
Before the album came out
I saw your little stupid
Fucking tweets Maul
No but I was sincere
I was just like man
I know
I know
I just hope Joe
I know
I hope he just sounds like
He feels like Drake is inspired
I really was like
Cause if this
If he doesn't feel that way
On another album
I'm like come on man
That's so not fair though
And I know the people don't know this,
but before that Drake rant,
I felt like that
for mad projects to hit.
Like, I was,
that was pent-up aggression.
We can tell.
Yeah.
That was my point.
And that's the point.
Yeah, that was pent-up aggression.
It came across like,
okay, this is something
that he's been,
yeah, see?
It was.
It was pent-up aggression.
But I'm glad we're all...
So do you apologize?
Are we getting like a?
I sent Drake a DM.
Okay, good.
What did the DM say?
Just some fire emojis.
That's cute.
Think he'll reply?
That's like a real macho way of saying, yo, fam, you know, I might have went a little too far.
No, I don't know.
I don't give a fuck about going too far.
I want him to know.
Only because I felt like he was addressing me on the album and I wasn't know. I don't give a fuck about going too far. I want him to know, only because I felt like he was addressing me on the album, and I wasn't
going to.
I love the album, and I ain't rapping.
I ain't rapping.
Roy was in my ear the entire time trying to say every bar was directed toward me, trying
to get me to rap.
I ain't rapping.
He just did a mission, man.
But I wanted him to know that I was very critical of the last project, and I thought this project
was fire, and I didn't know if he was going to hear the podcast, so I sent him the fucking
fire emojis.
More fucking tune for your head top. Hold up we back in this bitch man more tune for your head yeah and more tune for your head top so watch how you speak on
my name you know hey you're gonna take our shit all the way down hey hey
man you know my problem with this record was and we gonna get out of here I like this song a lot
Cut it off
Oh yeah, Rory's scared to death
That they're gonna pull our podcast off of SoundCloud
And all of the
God forbid I can't
Are we independent?
Yes, we are independent
If we go talk to Loudspeaker for two weeks
For those two weeks, would we be independent?
If Loudspeaker released our podcast for the next month
Would we be independent for that month? Or released our podcast for the next month, would we be independent for that month?
Exacto fucking mundo, you motherfucker.
Anything else we need to hit?
Oh, my God.
You.
Outside of that, is there anything else that we need to hit?
Is there anything big happening?
I think for the week, we pretty much covered everything.
You know, as soon as we leave, something's going to happen.
You know that naturally.
Per usual.
Why did we think he put all those London guys on there?
Because that's his new, he did the island.
I mean, he's spending a lot of time over there.
I think he's trying to tap into that.
He's trying to give those guys a lane and a light that they probably don't have.
And he's just trying to put them on a certain stage in a certain platform that he's probably you know it's probably that whole scene people
don't really know about so he's probably trying to shed light on that he is he has canada he has
america let's go to uk and he's getting credited with those streaming numbers another thing too
real quick that people a lot some people may not realize that you know drake does a lot of his
things musically because if you've ever been to toronto you know how mixed the culture is i've never been to toronto you've been to toronto before
you never hate when people say if you've ever been like no because a lot of people haven't been to
toronto i still hate when people say that i'm just telling you what i hate it's a very mixed
you know culture and it a lot of things that drake does musically i understand because i understand
where he's from and you see guys that you understand toronto and like no but you just have to understand like people say oh drake is talking like he's I understand where he's from. And you see guys that are like. Because you understand Toronto and their culture.
No, but you just have to understand.
People say, oh, Drake is talking like he's Jamaican.
He's talking like.
Drake probably grew up around more Jamaicans than a lot of other people from other places.
And that goes unnoticed because people have never been in Toronto.
I don't care because I like the music.
But people think that way because he didn't start this Toronto culture up until his fifth album.
He came out as the backpack J Dilla guy, and now he's speaking this way.
That's what people give him flack for.
I don't give a shit because the music's good.
I call it progression.
Why not?
No, but I'm saying that's flack for what it is.
Now that you have this amazing platform, you have this big platform.
You're changing back to what you were supposed to be doing already.
No, but you can't say he was supposed to be.
See, that's the problem I have.
Tell us about the problem you have.
You can't say how someone was supposed to start their career.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
In his mind, he feels like he's the biggest star in music right now.
Now let me start introducing these other cultural influences that have had an effect on me and my life now that my stage is so big and so broad.
He didn't have this big of a broad stage in the very beginning.
No, I think he just wanted those streaming numbers.
I mean, shit, Rihanna tried that.
Rihanna tried to come out with the island influence her first time out, and it didn't work.
Yes, the fuck it did.
No, it didn't.
Upon the replay was a fucking—
That worked.
Okay, okay, and she totally removed herself from that for a long period of time no the fuck she
yes she did she totally removed herself she wasn't talking with an accent she wasn't a lot of her
records did not have any island influence it was straight whole first album i just said the first
after the first album she lost that she she didn't touch on that much throughout the middle of her career.
Now she dabs into it more, but she lost that for a while.
Maul, you can't defend him.
We're not going to get into it. No, it's not defending.
I'm just saying people have to understand.
People understand it.
No, they don't.
People still have a valid claim when they speak to him appropriating so many different genres.
And I mean, he's great at it.
So what do you want me to do?
But when you have a London accent one week, and then when you have a different accent
the next week, and then a different accent the next week, like, come on, there is something
to that.
I'm not mad at it.
He's more global than we'll ever be. So I mean, do whatever the there is something to that. I'm not mad at it. He's more global than we'll ever be.
So, I mean, do whatever the fuck you got to do.
But when people say that, you know, I get it.
I mean, I don't get mad at it.
I think that was the thing I enjoyed most about this album,
is that all the things I think that people think I hated about views existed on this album.
There was still trappy shit on this album.
I just thought it was done well and tastefully.
this album there was still trappy shit on this album I just thought it was done well and tastefully shout out to fucking Quavo fucking young thug walker to or
whoever the fuck was on this shit I thought it was done well all of the
Caribbean sounding shit I thought was hard and done well and not over
commercialized and over saturated by the time we heard it right and then I
thought the hardship I thought I thought the hard shit.
I thought the house shit.
I see you creeping over
the Jersey house,
Orber, you're not slick.
Well, the UK still does
a lot of house shit.
UK, I see y'all stealing
Jersey house shit too, whatever.
I'm talking shit, UK.
Don't attack me.
One of those records
is a South African record
that...
Yeah, there you go.
That beat is mad hard. That beat is mad hard That beat is stupid hard
And all the hard shit is hard
Yeah
Very different from Views
This should have been Views
No, I think this is
What he was trying to do with Views
How do we get
How do we
What's gonna break tomorrow?
Shit
Something big, right?
Pause
Something big
Since the podcast will be finished
And we'll all be
Enjoying our days
And then y'all be like
Yo I hope y'all
Didn't record yet
Yeah nigga
We did
Three months ago
Leave us alone
Oh I'm going on vacation
Nobody cares
I don't know if we're
Going to record next week
If we're going to have
A podcast next week
My baby
Hey
Where you going
How you just going to
Call out of the job
That you don't get paid for
I'm going to LA
Mmm Going to go put put up some likes in person
Some in-person likes
In-person likes
In-person likes
I'm all about to go get these in-person likes off
Nah, I'm just going to
The Wizards play the Lakers and the Clippers back-to-back
So we're gonna watch it for a couple days
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
Alright that's good
That's dope
Yeah I'll be in Puerto Rico
Sin surprised me
With the vacation
Which is exciting
Because no one has ever
That should be fun
Wanted to go anywhere with me
And if they did
They definitely wanted me
To pay for it
So
This is fucking awesome
You're a rapper
Rappers are supposed to pay for everything.
Yeah, I like the fact that in my after rap career,
I was just talking to Rory before the podcast started,
that I make more money and girls pay for shit.
That's crazy.
You still rap?
No, not really.
Adjacent.
You have an album out currently.
Yeah, because I did some rapping but is it
independent you're writing your current in the midst of writing no i'm not okay that's where
you're last week just last week you was you was giving me bars in a queen yo exactly when i come
through with the top down yeah oh oh chill don't give him nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chill, chill.
Chill, I got fire coming.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly my point.
I don't have any beats, which is why,
Bink!
Yeah!
How's I had a real good?
Bink is probably 10 minutes from here, man.
Well, that's what I'm trying to say.
I remember Bink was over there by me.
Then I think he went back to Virginia for a little bit.
Oh, okay.
But I think he might be back.
I don't know.
APB out on Bank Bank.
Hit my fucking line.
Pause.
Not pause.
Anyway,
nothing coming up
this weekend, right?
Not forgetting anything.
We're at the end of March.
April's coming.
April Fool's.
No, we'll be back before then.
But if we are going to take
a vacation next week,
when do you leave, Mo?
Saturday. Oh, yeah, you'll be out of here. I'll we are going to take a vacation next week, when do you leave, Mo? Saturday.
Oh, yeah, you'll be out of here.
I'll probably get stuck in Chicago
because I'm like 0 for 3 with traveling.
When do you leave?
Monday.
Oh, yeah, we're not because...
I'll be back Thursday, though.
All right, so it matters none
because we're the only podcast
that even consistently drops
every week anymore.
Yeah, what's going on, man?
You know, well, tax due to
his unfortunate circumstances.
Elliot has the title gig, so I don't see rap radar moving anymore.
B-Dot, that's a shame because you were really good, too.
Don't let Elliot and his future fate impede upon your great podcasting career and future.
I would like to hear your thoughts, B-Dot.
So get off your bullshit and stop being codependent on Elliot.
What about
Nory? Especially when
academics about to come.
What's up with drink
champs, man? What's up with Nory? Drink champs,
I still see them. Yeah, they're consistent.
They're consistent. I think they do like
bi-weekly, though.
I don't even think they have a schedule.
Yeah, they're kind of random, but I mean, they're consistent. But I mean, Puffy owns them niggas, so I don't even think they have a schedule. Yeah, they're kind of random.
But I mean,
they're consistent.
But I mean,
Puffy owns them,
so I don't even want
to talk about them.
So they're not
independent anymore?
No.
Now, when Puffy
lets them go,
then they will
no longer be.
Well, they were on CBS
to begin with,
just with their podcast.
I don't know.
I'm just talking shit.
Shout out to all
the other fellow podcasters.

To know I'm bout to smack rappers until my palm read
Baguettes in my Rolex, homie, that's long bread
I think they got me on the wrong meds, that's when we all said
We were dyin' just to make a livin'
Until we came back and made a killin'
But that's all connected, hero, villain, it's all perspective
Trigger happy police killings They so selective
When your skin of origin
Begins to be your death wish
And they get out by morning
In time to eat their breakfast
Locked up
You call collect
Come home
You call collections
Ironically this shit is called corrections
I stand corrected
It's all deception
Like your false elections
Feeling lost

but it was funny.
No, that was funny.
I laughed.
I laughed at that shit.
No, you laughed late, though.
I laughed in real life when I read it.
Yeah, that was funny.
I bodied that.
That was funny.
I've been on a little roll.
Y'all trying not to acknowledge my shit.
Oh, it's my turn.
My bad.
Let's see here.
Give me the onks, nigga. It's right there. Give me the aux, nigga.
It's right there.
Got it.
All right.
I am going with Eric Bellinger, a friend of the show.
He put out a project.
Pardon me.
I got indigestion.
Too many ice cream floats.
They don't even go down the same.
I make an ice cream float and be on the toilet for the whole.
That's not even important.
Thanks, man.
Sorry.
This is called No Slash Vibes.
I love this record.
My kid put me on to this record.
Featuring L.A.
Also a friend of the show.
Let this rock out for a little bit.
Exclusive.
They say.
I do that forever.
So I know time is FDSS.
Imani, get to work, get to work.
So I'ma get right to it.
I'ma get right to it.
I'ma get right.
I'ma just slide through it.
I'ma just slide through it.
I'ma just slide through it.
He just put an album out on sound. I'ma just slide through it I think it's crazy
Make you throw it back, it's all so crazy
You should know about it, baby you should know that I got it all

After your ice cream float, you need a shower?
Yeah.
Sleeper shits.
I'm lettin' this rocker be killed, man.
I'ma talk over it, though.
Ain't gettin' that type of look.
I don't take payola, Eric.
It's how I feel every time a chick be trying to argue or talk to me.
Like, you should know that already.
Don't talk to me.
I'm feeling them. The fuck I said I'm not giving them a look and played the whole record.
I said I'm going to talk over this.
See, people don't even hear correctly anymore.
I said I'm going to talk over the record because I'm not giving you that type of look.
But you was quiet.
This is no slash vibes.
This is on Eric B for president term two.
But wait, I let the whole thing play because my favorite part is the second half of the record.
Really.
I want him to shut up with all this shit.
Hold on.
Let me see if I can skip.
I'm not going to skip because it's right here already.
I'm going to let it play because he bodied this shit.
I'm a big fan when songs do that.
When they just turn into another song, but I think it's the same song.
I don't care if Rory, that you mad, that I like when songs do that.
Rory's squinching his face mad that I like when songs do that or he's crunching his face up cuz I like when songs do that fuck out of you
and that's a lie who's not worried about their phone? I can never get enough of your vibe I can never get enough of your vibe
Girl, the way we vibin' be the shit
The way we vibin' we can never miss
I don't ever wanna leave from this vibe
It feels like a dream to me
Every time I'm with you
You take my mind to a place that I never imagined could ever be true
All right, Eric.
Enough of you, damn it.
No Vibes, Eric B for President Term 2.
You can check it out there if you're interested in that record.
On another note, Ro James be on insta live playing exclusive fire and singing
that shit i ain't ran into too many artists that do insta live the correct way but i think ro james
is one of them he's a friend of the show i want to shout out to him as well um i think we covered
everything oh i think i saw it did clue and Flex figure out that it's actually going to happen?
Something got accepted, I thought.
We see Flex showing off his DJing, scratching skills,
and calling out Clue.
He's scratching Swiss lyrics. So we'll keep you posted with any further developments there.
What I will say is one thing I was disappointed in with the new Drake project
is I was real hyped to hear
new division yeah i agree with you i was real hyped to hear new new division and i didn't get
any of that even though i do hear what he might have helped with maybe he's letting division keep
his good shit for his own project that's one and two i meant to ask you also mall do i owe do i
owe party an apology yes mall thinks i owe everybody an apology no
everyone in ovo no i don't know party no you know artists i don't know him no no
you cannot know somebody stole apology that nigga's pen is so genius that party record on
drake shit is amazing party's amazing how can such an amazing talent
Produce that album
I'm standing by that
I'm standing by that
I stand by that
And I don't know him
To have text him

What does Sin have to say about that? Let me throw that out there.
I've already had all of my relationship conversations with Sin.
Is this a case?
I have already let her know.
Hold up.
This is a story that will go down in the love and hip-hop history books.
I have already let her know. But what is the truth? No, we know the love of hip-hop history books. I have already let her know.
What is the truth?
No, we know the truth.
And we know the lies.
I have already let her know that this will be a very different extravaganza
than that that appeared at my house last year when there were no bitches and no hoes.
I'm not going to use that word bitches anymore.
But there were no hoes last year.
It was a very comfortable environment for girlfriends.
Not this year, buddy.
Your little Puerto Rico trip won't be cutting out the hoes.
But she agrees.
She said she's even going to bring out her hidden collection of women.
