Are we recording? We're good, right? Alright.
Super lit.
What's lit? Did he just say that we're recording?
We are recording, sir.
No, you gotta give me something better. No, I didn't like the start.
I don't even like that start. Nah.
We can start here.
Saw these and thought of you for the summertime.
Those are nice. Those are nice and Henny Palooza-ish.
I wouldn't wear them, but...
Alright, so you said we live, right?
Mic check, one, two, one, two. Mic check, one, two, one, two.
We are live.
I am your host, Joe Budden.
This is I Will Name This Podcast Later.
Not to be confused with the sports fucktards that are attempting to steal the name of my unnamed podcast.
Don't think that you low in the streets.
I'm aware.
I'll name that
later or some shit. Yeah, I'll name
the podcast to be named later.
Oh, what the fuck?
Hey, suck our dick.
Hey, podcast to be later, geez.
Um, I
have my not-so-beautiful
co-host
Maudie Moorbody
with me.
I have Tory Lanez, I mean,ie Moorbody with me.
I have Tory Lanez, I mean, Rory Lanez with me.
I'm sorry, not to be confused with King Lanez.
So now, how is everyone?
I'm cool.
We're not going to do this like last week where Marissa got to speak the whole fucking time. I'm rather energetic this week.
And just when I'm lost for content, the universe comes through.
Back at it again with the content.
Yep, yep.
Damn, Joey.
Back at it again with amazing content.
But we will not start there.
Are you guys in great spirits?
I am in good spirits.
Okay.
I took an Adderall today.
I'm feeling great
Oh lucky you
Lucky you
Um
What are you gonna do later
On an Adderall?
I took it earlier
Like
Earlier in the morning
Oh okay
Yeah I had a big day at work
Just to get through work
Oh one of those Adderalls
It keeps you like awake
And stuff
Yeah
And focused
Yeah
Yeah Adderall's different
Yeah no we had a
A shoot at an Airbnb for work,
and there's a cleaning fee, you know, at Airbnb.
When I took that Adderall, I said, well, you can knock down this cleaning fee.
I will clean this whole fucking apartment right now.
So the other night, two nights ago,
one of the greatest college basketball games ever will start there.
Word.
That was amazing.
Villanova versus North Carolina.
I was totally, totally just glued to my television screen.
There's really not too much to say about this other than it was fucking college hoops on fleek.
It was championship game on fleek.
That's what it was.
It was great.
It was fucking great.
It left me speechless so much so I don't even know what to say right now.
Oh, man.
Look at Marty with the amazing. Look at Marissa with the amazing sports report.
That was amazing, Marissa.
Shout out to Michael Jordan.
Shout out to Michael.
Yep.
That's all I got.
Yes.
Let's get off of that.
How about that?
I'm not going to let...
Even you won't ruin my amazing mood that I am in.
What the fuck is on your finger?
Compound for the callus on my finger.
That's repug.
You're such a hard worker.
The Asian...
Yeah, this comes from actually writing rhymes
unlike the new whippersnappers do today.
You just don't get in the booth?
No, I don't.
I write things down.
Now, when I was in the nail
salon, the girl
told me to get some compound from CVS
to have it. So I've been using it and it's working.
It works. I had a big ass cowl on my finger.
Finger banging chick with that on your finger?
Oh, come on. Not really that big
finger banger dude. I don't know what
was in you guys' cereal this morning,
but Rory, even you
won't ruin the phenomenal mood that I am in.
There's these dykes on the train talking about finger-banging each other.
And that is exactly why this is my podcast.
I don't want to hear that shit.
It's very disturbing.
But I don't want to hear that shit.
I don't want to hear about y'all dykes on the train finger-banging.
So let's get the gossip out the way so we can get to the real meat and potatoes of today.
I'm finally going to say it.
The drama?
Today I'm going to say it.
Today I'm going to say what I've been maybe wanting to ask for quite some time.
Today I'm going to say it.
Enough is enough.
What is it?
I know what it is.
No, we're not starting there.
No, not starting there.
Not starting there.
Not starting there.
So let's, come on, give me all of the gossip bullshit that's happening in the world.
Rob Kardashian are officially engaged. Wonderful. Tiger's brother-in-law uncle's child yes god
sister's son yes whatever the fuck they are now um tiger will be his own son's uncle congratulations
to the happy couple yeah look how politically correct i am today congratulations to black
china and rob kardashian yeah and that's it i i i'm just anxious to see who wins this little game am today. Congratulations to Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian. Yeah.
And that's it. I'm just anxious
to see who wins this little game that the two
of you guys are playing.
I really do want to see the winner of this game.
This is like primetime chess to me.
Like, this is like, I'm saddened
that this has become an integral
part of my daily entertainment.
I'm sad. I am.
But congrats.
Summer Jam Festival lineup was announced today.
Oh yeah, we can talk about that. I wasn't mad at it.
I enjoy it. Can you name it off
since you worked there? Chance the Rapper,
Tory Lanez, Currency, Designer,
Post Malone, Davies, Justine Sky,
Doug EF, and Rotimi.
I'm not mad at that list.
Well shit, who's on the main stage?
It'll be announced Friday morning at 9am on Ebro in the Morning on Hot 96. Alright Marissa, don't at that list. Well, shit, who's on the main stage? It'll be announced Friday morning at 9 a.m. on Ebro in the Morning on Hot 97.
All right, Marissa.
Young Tiller.
Marissa, don't do that again.
Young Tiller with the headliner.
I'm thinking, no, definitely not with the headliner.
That was a joke.
I think Tiller will be on the main stage if he's free.
Of course.
I think Future.
That would behoove them.
Yeah.
Cool word.
$10 word today, huh? It would behoove them? Yeah. Cool word. $10 word today, huh?
It would behoove who?
Hot 97 to put future on?
I don't think he's ever done a summer jam.
Well, his real peak last year would have been probably better than this year, but he still
has that.
I feel like it's too early.
I don't want to hear about summer jam right now.
It's too early.
It's not too early.
It's just 25 degrees outside.
It's literally two months away.
That's what it is.
Is that what it is?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's because it's winter outside.
We're in April, bro.
It's April 5th, and it was 25 fucking degrees when I left my house this morning.
This announcement actually is late.
Usually, they announce it in March.
No, but I'm not one of the guys that wants to talk about Summer Jam right when they announce it.
No, you're so cool.
You got to give me a little, come on, don't give me what the public fodder.
No.
And we definitely did this last year.
We literally did.
Two months ahead of time?
Yeah, but you don't talk about Summer Jam the day of. You talk about the day after. And we definitely did this last year. We literally did. Two months ahead of time? Yeah.
You don't talk about Summer Jam the day of.
You talk about the day after.
We spoke about the Summer Jam lineups.
There are no Summer Jam lineups.
Yes, there are.
They announce it every year in a big deal.
So what are the Summer Jam lineups today?
I just told you it.
I thought that was the-
The festival.
I mean the main stage Summer Jam.
I just told you it'll be announced on Friday.
I think Joe is suggesting he wants to talk about it when the main stage
is announced.
Yeah, that's my point.
When we spoke about this
last year,
it was announced.
That's because they
always announce it together.
This was the first
they've ever announced it.
Marty, don't come bringing
your fucking
Hot 97 ties to my pocket.
Who gonna be on
Powerhouse?
That's what I'm curious about.
Isn't that their shit?
Good word.
Let's talk some real shit.
Powerhouse?
I mean,
Power 105 and his bitch.
Nope.
Alright, so there.
Now that I can stop being petty and making fun of Marissa.
What was the other petty story that came out?
I thought it was just the Kardashian circus.
Yeah, I didn't really see much other petty things.
Was there other petty things?
Yeah, something else.
Sarah Palin and Azealia Banks went at each other today.
No, they didn't.
How?
It was trash.
Because Azealia's retarded and she read a satire
site that was a satire
interview with Sarah who was saying something about
blacks should accept slavery because
they wanted it or some dumb shit like that.
And so she went on a tirade on Twitter
Azealia saying that she needs to be
gangbanged by
big black men and get a dick in her mouth
and all type of shit. That just sounds really nasty.
It was repug. It just sounds really nasty. It was repug.
It just sounds disgusting.
Sarah Palin wrote a paragraph on Facebook
and she was saying they need to come together
and use their platforms for the greater good,
but she's going to first make sure
that her daughter's not promoting
the anti-women shit that Azealia's spewing.
I didn't care about any of that either.
I definitely didn't care.
It's been a fucking slow news week.
It's been a very slow news week.
To be honest, yes.
When CNN is congratulating
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna
on their Twitter, I knew
the world's going to shit.
Everything is going to shit.
I'm not one of those guys because I like that microwave entertainment shit.
I'm into it. I talk to it.
Talk about it. Whatever.
A fucking bio of CNN is we hit the hard hitting news stories on twitter and then they type black china in the same breath
how is that okay there's a presidential election well granted that might be a reality show as well
in a circus it is that's nuts and i don't don't tell me it's just a quick tweet because there's a bigger picture here
that cnn is doing that like they're boss up or media takeout i mean pop culture is
pretty is that pop culture yeah like like kim kim and kanye i all right maybe it is pop but
rob kardashian who does absolutely nothing, and a stripper.
That wasn't a shot at strippers.
And an ex-stripper.
Yes.
Congratulate them for their marriage on CNN.
Yep.
It happened, so obviously it's something.
I like when you guys put on your adamant voices.
That was Rory's adamant voice.
That was.
Because I'm scared for the country.
I'm terrified.
You were passionate about that. He feels that type of way adamant. That was. Because I'm scared for the country. I'm terrified. You were passionate about that.
He feels that type of way for real.
I do.
That's scary to me.
I, too, am scared of the country because I'm watching for a different game.
And somehow I'll figure out how to segue this into my main topic of discussion today.
So, pardon me, pardon me, pardon me, pardon self, pardon self.
Now, I think what I've been trying to get to, it hit me like a brick last night, I think,
on this podcast for quite some time, is that streaming, right, is going to,
that streaming, right, is going to,
streaming will eventually do to television and music what Uber is doing to taxis
and what Airbnb is doing to hotels.
The world is moving to a place
where more technology is going to take over the universe and more people will lose jobs
we're seeing the signs of it now when i'm fucking talking to a robot to leave the supermarket now
that's been the case for quite some time okay right so bong let's start there now that led me to, I, in my old school, traditionalist, maybe stubborn way of thinking, I don't really stream very much.
I have over 80,000 songs in my laptop.
I'd like to pat myself on the back for knowing music somewhat.
Right?
But the other day, I streamed a song.
But the other day I streamed a song.
And then today I ended up streaming another song when Rory hit the group chat and said,
New Drake.
Now, Drake has earned himself the right for a lot of people to stop what they're doing when New Drake comes out.
I stopped what I was doing.
I didn't, but I was blogging, so it actually went with what I was doing. So that was what I was doing. I didn't, but I was blogging, so it actually went with what I was doing.
So that was what I was doing.
Okay, so you both had the stop what you were doing moment, kind of.
Adjace.
You Adjace.
Well, I actually bought it right away.
I wasn't going to wait because I was on my phone and I was on the move. So I just bought it on my phone, both of them real quick, and listened right there.
So I can't say I ran home and went on my laptop
okay i feel like ladies and gentlemen um i can't start with my topic of discussion yet i need to uh
what's the terminology that i'm looking for here. I need to preface. I was just gonna fucking say that.
I need to
preface with
some things.
Now, with that said,
what do we need to preface with?
I guess I'm talking to
adult people.
That's number one.
Number
two, I do not have a horse
in this race
or a dog in this fight
or a dog in this fight
I have
no opinion
on this as of yet
but I am going to argue one
of course you are
this is the Joe we know and love of yet, but I am going to argue one. Okay. Of course you are.
This is the Joe we know and love.
Um,
three.
I love Drake.
Okay.
I am on record.
As I've said on this podcast before,
I'm on record with liking a lot of you niggas
before other people liked you.
I'm talking to a lot of you.
Right?
This is mad hipster of you.
So I'm not bandwagon-ish is what I'm saying.
I am not sheep.
I am not sheep.
My opinion does not mean I waver one way or the other, nor am I sensitive, nor do I do well with sensitive people.
So if I am about to offend anyone.
Suck it.
My bad in advance.
I am still going to say what the fuck I have to say.
I've needed to just present this theory.
I'm so intrigued.
For quite some time now.
Theory.
This cannot be proven one way or the other, but this is a podcast, so that's what you do on podcasts, especially
ones that are hip-hop oriented in some way or another.
So, with that said, I don't even know if I want to ask it yet.
I am going to ask it.
Okay.
Here comes the pillow.
I'm going to start here.
Hear me out.
Okay.
I make very valid points.
Sometimes.
You two can choose to grab the other side of the debate,
or you can just add to conversation.
Okay.
Okay.
Roy's putting his hat on.
He's ready.
Have we seen Drake peak?
I think that that question has been floating around the universe for a little while.
Now, let me give some people
some information on who I am.
Because I know how you toddlers
and whippersnappers
and new niggas think today.
And because a lot of y'all don't know me,
you just know me from some fucking tweets
or some shit that you've seen on your fucking TV
when I was coming through the fucking screen
like an idiot, right?
Let me tell you who I am.
Well, that was pretty innovative at that time.
Don't sell yourself short.
Very early on in mine and Drake's strip club careers,
as professionals, we've seen each other.
And I went up to him, and I gave him a dab, and I saluted him
because I think light-skinned niggas should stick together and salute each other when you see each other. And I went up to him and I gave him a dab and I saluted him because I think light-skinned niggas should stick together
and salute each other when you see each other.
And he's been doing so much amazing, great things
for the light-skinned delegation.
I wouldn't be a real nigga if I didn't go up to him
and salute him like a real nigga, right?
So that's what I did.
But early, early on, it was very early on,
I sat down and I said,
yo, you know me and you were supposed to do a record.
And he said, oh, let's do it.
And I said, eh, not the same now.
And he said, why not?
And I said, well, because you're on everything.
Like you on it is almost like a single now.
It's like fucking superstar.
Not quite what I had in mind when I first heard you.
So if we do it, I would like it to be.
The saddest record of all time.
What you and I truly do.
And when I say that, I mean what I first heard you do that I was so amazed at.
That's important for me to let y'all know who I am.
Me.
Oh, and let's preface this with some more shit.
My point still stands through the jokes.
So for argument's sake,
I'm agreeing with all the jokes
because people don't fucking hear what you have to say.
They just listen to who's saying it.
So pump it up was whack.
I'm whack and I can't do better
than any of the people we've got to talk about.
Now, all of that's true.
And my point still stands
and I'm arguing it right now.
So has... Oh, and you're 40 stands And I'm arguing it right now So Has
Oh and you're 40
And I'm 40
Yeah you're 40
With that said
Then you're a one hit wonder
And that
I said that too
You can't really dress
You beat women
I said that
And well I didn't quite say that
But okay
They say that too sometimes
Okay
And you old
Just like in the strip club
Alright we done
What you guys just fucking done
Alright I kinda got
What you guys I know I got it I see what you guys just fucking done. All right, I kind of got what you guys are talking about.
I know, I got it.
I see where you guys are going.
Great.
Hey, all of that stuff for argument's sake is true.
Now, back to the argument.
Have we seen Drake peak?
Are you going to answer or do you want us to answer
and then you're going to go?
I'd like us to discuss it.
I don't want, I want us to add and, I mean, answer and discuss. Answer and discuss. That's what I'd like us to discuss it. I don't want, I want us to add and,
I mean,
answer and discuss,
answer and discuss.
That's what I would like us to do.
I think it's a bit too early.
And I say that to say,
Drake is very album based in my opinion.
And I need to hear views before I say he has peaked.
If views is subpar,
then you can make a good,
good,
solid argument that he has peaked. Because his last record was,, then you can make a good, good, solid argument that he has peaked.
Drake is...
Because his last record was...
Drake is not...
Let me just correct you there.
Drake is not album-based.
He's just great in every area.
So you anticipate
a full Drake album.
I think we're saying
the same thing.
Drake singles,
Drake mixtape.
He's just great
in so many places.
You know what I'm saying?
But I think a cohesive body of work.
He's not a Migos,
where we just really love his singles.
We love his albums,
and that's really why he has that big core of a fan base
and why he is number one at the moment.
So I'm saying we need to judge him
off his whole body of work
because we know he's capable of creating a great body of work.
If Migos put out five bad singles,
I'm going to say, all right, they done.
You say that about Migos, but you have some artists who we look forward to their body of work,
and their singles don't work.
That's album-based to me.
So when you're great at both, you're just great.
There's no need to specify album-based.
I don't know if Drake is album-based album based but okay but you could be hit or miss
with singles i think drake's full body of work is going to show us where he's really at with it i'm
i'm talking as someone who is just passionate about music and who is a ultra mega fan of drake
jay and hove were you not a fan i judged them I judge them differently
Who was Jay?
If those that Hov
Oh you said Drake, Jay and Hov
Oh I'm sorry Drake, Jay and Hov
We'll get to that
Now all I'm saying is
Those three
Men are phenomenal
I don't think that should be argued
If those are the three names That I'm hearing on a record,
that's not the record I want to hear.
I don't want to hear that.
I hate it.
I hate everything about it.
It's like a microwave blessings.
That's what it sounds like.
It's like Hot Pocket blessings.
It's like fucking...
The Giorno Pita of blessings.
Yeah, it's like Insta blessings.
Wait, are you hating on Young...
What was that whack-ass line?
Chaining Tatum?
Yes.
I don't want to hear from...
You're hating on Chaining Tatum?
Chaining Tatum.
Young Chaining?
Now, normally, Drake does this.
Drake does this where he puts out the one record for these idiots over here
and then this record over here.
But now I also have...
Which out of those two records was for the idiots?
This fucking Hot Pocket bullshit.
Oh, that's for the idiots.
All right.
And then One Dance is not?
Yes.
Because I love One Dance.
That should be a good radio record.
One Dance is not for the idiots.
No.
Well, typically, hasn't he done in the past where he'll do the pop record and then he'll do some rapping shit for the rest of us?
Like with the all me shit with Sean.
Exactly, exactly.
He does that a lot.
Yeah, which he should do.
And I want to take back idiots because I'm not trying to offend anybody and that is just how I talk.
A lot of you don't know that.
So he does one for one and one for the other.
I get that.
Now, I also hate, the same way I hate Trapper Drake.
I really hate Trapper Drake too.
I'm outside of Dancehall Drake.
I'm not.
This is where we disagree.
I enjoy Dancehall Drake.
Because we agree we both hate Trapper Drake.
Nah.
What has been a bad Dancehall record for you?
I'm a bitch and so bitches like fun dancing.
None of them.
None of them.
Rory, it's Drake and it's Dancehall.
It's never going to be a bad record.
It's never going to be a bad record.
So why are we sick of it?
Controller.
Controller, right?
Like it.
Work.
Work.
We'll put it in there even though it's not his record.
Still dope.
Well, Rihanna really carried that shit.
One.
One.
Dance.
The shit that came out today. One dance. well Rihanna really carried that shit one dance one dance he's done some more dance hall-ish type of shit
on thank me later
this isn't new
I mean he's always had that
influence just because people in Toronto
there's so many West Indians in Toronto
I'm clear on that
I don't want to be misconstrued
in what I'm saying this is'm clear on that. Hey, I don't want to be misconstrued in what I'm saying.
This is my main point.
Drake came in and dominated as a breath of fresh air.
Something so different.
He was like a hybrid.
He was a hybrid MC.
He was like a fucking Stretch 5, like Anthony Davis or some shit, right?
Just follow me
where I'm going here.
I'm listening.
So that is how he came in, right?
A lot of people would say
Take Care is his best album, right?
I would say so
and I think 99% of the people
would agree with you.
Okay, now this is where
The Whisperer started.
What album came after that?
If you're reading this
It's too late
No way
No way
After Take Care was
Nothing was the same
Nothing was the same
I'm sorry
The face in the clouds
Yeah nothing was the same
Nothing was the same
I'm sorry
I love that album
Me too
I do too
Some people say it came and went
For a Drake standard
Yes
It did
Yes
It did
This conversation is to be held at his standard
not mine or anyone else's
his
no really cause I wanna have a serious conversation about this
um
so yeah I love that album
let me be clear but a lot of people say
it came and went
what album came after that
now it's the uh
if you're reading this it's too late
came after nothing was the same's the, if you're reading this, it's too late.
Okay.
Nothing was the same.
That was, you and I were together when that came out.
We were coming from wherever we were coming from,
and we rushed home because you and I are big Drake fans.
That was like February 2015?
It was on Valentine's Day. We played that shit.
I have an amazing Bose entertainment system that plays audio
just tremendously.
Way too loudly.
And very loud.
I'm a musician.
I need to hear loud music.
Ria and Rory went to the crib
at motherfucking 2 a.m.
and put that shit on
and I immediately said what?
You didn't like it.
Not for me.
Well, we even tried
to give it that whole weekend
when we was going out
for All Star.
We played it the whole time
because we thought
maybe we missed something.
Maybe our first listen,
we didn't get it.
Now, I'm not saying that it's not joints on there.
I'm not saying that either.
Because this is Drake.
We're on a Drake standard right now.
Drake is going to always have a joint.
That's what he does.
It just wasn't for me.
So I went on this whole bash
and I hate fucking Trapper Drake.
I fucking started hitting niggas in the OVO, please.
Let me just hear some rap.
Just some rap shit.
Just something.
Rap.
What came after that now?
Time out.
Now, in between, I'm getting Drake on my way.
Yeah.
Hotline Bling.
I'm getting Hotline Bling is more current.
But I want to just, it's a lot of records
somewhere in between if I really have to
get deep into this and paint the
chronological order of some events
that occurred
the future wave kicked
and he hopped on that
if I go in deep I start with
the mumblings of a weekend
Drake beef
I'm going that far back.
Because I'm putting the peak.
If I'm taking that side of the argument, I'm putting the peak at Take Care.
And that was the album that The Weeknd was heavily involved in.
And all I know that happened after that is that The Weeknd left.
And I know that The Weeknd has done rather fucking well Since leaving
Music wise
Very very well
Since Take Care I think he has
Weeknd has a better album than Drake has put out since Take Care
1000%
I don't think that can be argued
Well
What can be argued
But I don't want to have this conversation with stans
I want to have this conversation with people who can objectively respond.
So now, okay, after, if you're reading this, it's too late.
After that came the Future Joint, right?
Yeah.
Not for me again.
Me neither.
Not for me again.
And while I appreciated the two hottest rappers doing a joint,
because I'm with the unity and that whole thing.
And all of that.
Some people wondered
why those two would be doing an album.
Some people wondered
who did that make sense for?
Future was already
the hottest thing in the universe.
Drake is already Drake.
Granted, they were on the road together,
but they music don't even merge.
I'm telling you what some people said.
Nobody heard this?
I did.
Okay.
I just want to make sure I'm on an even keel the whole time.
I get it.
I want to be objective the whole way through.
The best and the hottest at the time.
What's after this fucking future shit the future
album that's when hotline bling starts hitting that's when the drake meek shit well that's still
in between that time when did what a time to be alive come out should end the last year because
hotline bling came out last summer yeah but it didn really... It was actually a slower catch than it's given credit for.
Yeah.
I mean, the video came out...
What a Time came out September 20th, 2015.
Okay.
Okay, so that was the last project we've heard.
Mm-hmm.
So now, Homeboy, they leaked these songs.
Right?
They leaked the songs from Views, allegedly.
The ones last week, two weeks ago?
Yeah.
Okay.
With the pimpsianship.
Those aren't finished products, so I won't speak on them.
At all.
Nope.
But these two today...
Were planned.
I think that if there were ever...
So this is my main point.
Point number one,
if there were ever a time
to say,
if Drake is the DH,
we need a hit.
I don't mean hit as in hit record
because he does that.
So I don't want anyone to misunderstand me.
In baseball terminology,
the DH is the designated hitter.
His only job is to hit.
So a lot of people would say, and I'm seeing it more than I've ever seen it, that he would need to really deliver on views.
I don't know what the or what is when you're at that level of success.
I think they're really waiting to tear him down.
Wait, don't respond yet because then I'm going to forget my other point.
Okay, go.
So that was point number one.
And what I'm also saying is number two, I just miss the Drake that started the waves, not carried the other ones.
Okay.
That's what I mean.
I like Contro mean. I like controller
and I like one dance.
But
I could
if I had a nickel
for every time
some random
reggae nigga
took a hard
that hard dance hall beat
and just started
mumbling some shit
and I loved it
I'd be a good billionaire.
That's a lot of money.
But I'm saying
that's what dance hall does to me. I hear be a good billionaire that's a lot of money but I'm saying that's what dancehall
does to me
I hear that a lot in dancehall
so now if I'm taking the greatest
fucking rapper
many say today
because Drake today I think is akin to
Jay from my generation
it is
and if somebody wants to debate me
there I'm open for that one too
I debated at
the nothing was the same time that he was on a much
quicker path than Jay was
he was farther in his career at that time than Jay ever was
but I mean it's comparing apples and oranges
it's a different game
different game, different time, different rules
but at the time he was on
a better path than Jay was at that point in his career.
I don't know what to say with his last album if he is still on that pace.
But, I mean, Jay ran into some road bumps.
Jay was not always Jay.
There was some doubt.
Volume 1 came out.
There was doubt.
All right, I just want to see where you're going with this first.
I would say Volume 1 was similar to, if you're reading this, it's too late.
I'm following you.
Just put out a classic,
which I'm not saying Drake has a classic,
but with reasonable doubt
and the Rockefeller deal,
Jay was up next.
And then he put out some bullshit
that sounded like old fucking bad boy
Biggie records after he died
that wasn't his sound
and people hated it.
He was going with what the sound
was, which wasn't him. And that's what Drake did with that
trap shit.
And now we're all begging for views to sound
like Take Care.
Alright.
I don't want views to sound like Take Care
number one.
I think that Drake is talented I don't want views to sound like Take Care of Number One. Like, can't.
I think that Drake is talented enough to make his best album soon.
I don't think he's made his best album if I'm just going off of his talent.
Right?
That's one.
Damn it.
I be having so many fucking points now.
I forgot my other fucking point.
You got a phone right on your phone.
Oh, two.
We don't have to ever disagree on that.
I am one of the first people to say Drake follows in the whole footprint of wave stealing.
Of wave stealing.
Hove is the best wave stealer of all time.
Of all time.
If somebody would like to debate me on that.
I'm talking musically.
I don't mean image wise.
And of course that's not.
I don't disagree with you yet.
But do you have points per album what waves he was taking at that time?
I'm curious.
Well we can talk to the whole tribe of people that say that he stole an entire flow from Young Chris.
That's the only one I could think of right off the top of my head that was confirmed.
He kind of took his whole flow.
H to the Izzo stole. But Young Chris is late.
Time out, time out.
Boy, you're missing a few things then.
Because H to the Izzo was Snoop's campaign.
Okay.
That whole slang and terminology and all of that shit was snoop um r r j was i thought was in
uh uh cte at one point no this is true this is true fact what i am saying check the record
there was a time where you would have thought Jay and Jeezy were a group.
Like 05, yeah.
There was also a time where Jay and Ross, they was real tight too.
And we got a lot of records from that wave.
Why is your hand so shaky?
Alcohol withdrawals.
I don't drink during the week.
And this is not, please don't take this as me discrediting Hove, arguably the greatest.
But what I'm saying, I think, is factual if you're old enough to remember these things.
So Drake now, many could argue the same thing.
I'm not picking a side here, but many would say, I mean, we've had many instances now with Drake.
I was going to say Kanye, but he does it on a lower level.
He'll take someone not as popular and steal their whole shit.
The whole thing.
He'll steal them.
I would say Ye would be up there on that.
Yeah, but at least Kanye would fuck around and give you some credit.
Or a record deal like say hi to Prince.
At least he'll give you some credit for signing.
And designer.
Or a record deal. Or deal or i mean you get something
out of the out of the jig oh yeah j make you never exist again but i mean i want us to be honest
and sometimes sometimes a lot of people will think something and not say it you guys cannot, cannot, cannot, if you are a fan of Drake the way I have been since before so far gone, I don't mean a stan, just a fan who can think objectively.
You cannot defend the fucking chaining Tatum.
Young chaining Tatum?
You can't.
You can't you can't now i also because i comprehend well i also get
that i have to maybe open my brain up because they're talking to an audience i've never had
to speak to and a lot of people never really had to speak to that audience is wide so i do get that it's the same as uh murder mace and uh cam
uh and mace saying all right i'm gonna go with puff and do the commercial shit you stay in the
streets and do the hardcore shit so we feed both audiences we'll always have that outlet i do get
that it's kind of the same as fab uh uh fabulous sport and fabulous i do get that it's too different.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
It's too different.
This Drake audience, there may be an audience,
and I'm sure there is,
because as soon as that other track was released,
I immediately started seeing,
oh, Drake wasn't playing his Summer 16.
I said, well, damn.
I know I'm old. i know i know hey everything that you
could think of i'm an over analytical virgo i've already thought of it i know i'm old i may just
be out of touch and this shit could be the most fire as shit in the universe and i could just be
the only one thinking differently but the same way that there's a big campaign about missing the old Kanye
I am starting to miss the old Drake
And since none of you fucktards will say it
And Drake already knows that I love him
So I'm gonna just throw this out there and be who I am
Sometimes you niggas will take the garbage if you like the garbage man.
It just is what it is.
I mean, you guys are very selective with who you take your trash from.
And now that's an independent thought an independent conversation not to be
associated or affiliated with my previous drake comments i don't want to i'm compartmentalizing
conversations context keep up with me i don't want you to go typing niggas and at niggas with
some shit that ain't true and then i start got to start getting texts where i got to start
clarifying some shit that was there in plain english please keep up with me my brain runs fast um can i make a point between the drake and the jay theory there or just drake and what
he has to deal with now uh per his i don't even know if they'd survive in this era jay comes up
in a time we're just gonna use jay there because that's probably the closest thing we have to Drake right now he comes from a time
where you put an album out tour disappear put a single out put an album out tour disappear that's
all you need to do if you're great we are now in a microwave era in the internet era where you need
to feed people our fucking brains need things every three seconds things pass right away even if they're
great drake has to cater to that era hence what is time to be alive hence putting out these records
that he may not think are that great but it's enough to feed the streets in the meantime until
he puts out something that he loves i also understand that when you mass produce that way, sometimes the product is going to suffer.
Right.
I understand that part of it as well.
I think that's a major part here.
And he's dubbed them mixtapes, I think, for that exact reason.
Despite selling them, despite profiting off of them, he wants to be very clear that he's not taking his time to craft these things like he's taking with views.
Oh, I'm not saying you're wrong.
I just didn't hear that part.
What? That he called them mixtapes?
No, that he wasn't taking time with the stuff that he's putting out.
He's only focusing on views.
Aren't these on views?
No. Oh, I was talking about those last two projects.
I think he's going to take off or make a bonus record
out of that Styles.
I had an entire conversation, pardon me.
I had an entire conversation with Royce, right?
I had a whole conversation with Royce
when I was talking to him
about my Rage in the Machine project with A-Rab, right?
Was that an I'll name this podcast later exclusive?
Maybe, maybe not. I've Instagrammed it or about it. with A-Rab, right? Was that a I'll name this podcast later exclusive? Maybe.
Maybe not.
I've Instagrammed it or about it.
I've just been being very cryptic
until product is somewhere near done.
But in that conversation,
I was saying to Royce,
I was saying,
yo, I just been,
oh, Royce, whose project comes out soon too,
Layers.
April 15th. Layers is out, right? No, not Layers. The single Layers. Yeah, but, whose project comes out soon, too. Layers. April 15th.
Layers is out, right?
No, not Layers.
The single Layers.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's the name of the album, too.
I know, but I want to talk about Trust the Shooter.
The Trust the Shooter EP is out right now,
and then the album Layers is also out,
but you'll hear my voice again on this podcast
before that album comes out,
so I'll be sure to get back to that.
Now.
Single's good shit, though.
So I'm talking to Royce, and I said,
yo, it feels great.
I've just been going in the studio and just been writing shit down pretty much void of thought
um because and he knows what i mean because as mcs we're overly critical of our own stuff
lyricists especially so you over you overthink every fucking word so he was like, yeah, man, what's happening is so much content is coming out constantly.
It's faster than ever now on the Internet. I said, well, yeah, which is what makes it really easy.
I don't know what just happened, but it's fine, which is what makes it really easy for, you know, low quality music is what's in.
Really easy for, you know, low quality music is what's in.
And I'm not knocking that.
I like it too.
I like low quality music as well, but let's call a spade a spade.
A lot of it is low quality music.
I'm not talking about if you're judging from the 21-year-old brain, high off fucking Perks, Zanny's, Molly's, Mushroom's, fucking K,
Weed, Loud, Quiet, whatever the fuck you put in you.
I know some of that music sounds really amazing when that stuff is inside of you.
Trust me, I do.
But that's not the gauge.
That person's brain is not the gauge.
So low quality music is in, which means that some of the people who can turn over that
music rather quickly put out and produce rather quickly,
which lets my son say to me, hey, dad, your album came out in fucking October,
and Young Thug has put out four projects in the last year.
And now while I laughed at that, hey, that wind tunnel shit is really loud if we can do something about it.
While I laughed at my child saying that, the more I thought about it, kids think like that.
They do.
That is how kids think. Yo, the more time I spend with my child, the more I easily understand all of the people who tweet me and call me irrelevant, whack, a loser, a moron.
Hey, I agree with y'all.
Y'all ain't even old enough to remember when I was that nigga.
I get it now,
now that I'm hanging
with my chow.
But anyway,
back to my,
my more broad point.
Damn,
what was my more broad point?
What was we just talking about?
Mass producing
and putting out a lot of music
at one time
when they need to.
No,
I was getting to something
after that.
Being in the studio
without having to think about it.
Oh, yeah, my conversation with Royce
yeah so
so you gotta you kinda
gotta do something to keep up
because that's the generation and the climate
that we're in you don't
really have time to sit and think
about lyrics
you don't have time to you gotta go
or you'll be like me
stop putting out a project a year
as opposed to two three four and five i text fab the other day i said yo i need some shit
he said all right cool but i'm working on two projects right now i said why the fuck is you
working on two projects right now he said nigga it's time to work but you didn't ask him about
the podcast though well him and i had had an entire different conversation after that that shall remain anonymous.
I've been having some pretty interesting conversations with some pretty interesting people that will remain anonymous.
But the day that these people are, oh, man, y'all going to hear about it one day.
But anyway, so my point is Fab, who, number one, I will forever remain in debt to for what he did for me at the start of my career.
One and two, someone who I always applaud as having been having.
He's he's the closest thing that I have seen to LL Cool J today.
In the sense that I saw Fab be the man at some level in 1997.
Damn, he's been around.
That's so dope.
I then saw Fab drop his,
and I believe that things change in five-year intervals.
I then saw Fab drop his debut album on September 11th
when the World Trade Center fell
and when Blueprint came out as a brand new artist.
Times were different then.
He did that successfully.
He then stayed hot through the rise and fall of the Jersey era.
Right.
He then found a way to stay hot when niggas thought all he could do was rap about bitches.
And some say Drake kind of came and stole some of his talk about the bitches thunder he then reinvented himself again and turned into a
different fab so when I say fab is the closest thing I've seen to LL Cool J
today I've seen fab from when I first heard him to now go through a few
different errors in hip-hop because today the errors are moving a lot more
rapidly than they did back then you said five years I say two yeah today the errors are moving a lot more rapidly than they did back then. You said five years. I say two.
Yeah, today the errors change quickly, quickly, quickly.
Everything is, you know, microwave will be understatement.
I'm just waiting for trap to die.
The word to.
Wait, so now what was I saying?
Rest in peace, Fife Dog. What was I getting to before I just talk about that fab shit?
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
I didn't take your word.
I told you,
sometimes I get too many thoughts.
But the point is,
that nigga's working on
fucking two fucking projects.
I don't have time for the,
niggas can't,
don't have time.
You know,
I almost don't have time
to be a lyricist.
You know?
Too busy podcasting.
A lot of work.
Still, I think
I found a good way to walk a line.
To walk
the line. And again,
you know, and this has been a reoccurring
topic on this podcast for quite some
time, just the effect that
the trend is
having on
some of the elder statesmen.
You know, not just in hip-hop with rappers and producers
having to adjust to a certain sound or shift in sound
or anything sonically, period.
But again, journalists having to adjust to this new wave of,
you know, anybody with a laptop and Wi-Fi being a journalist.
You got to combat that. Bullshit. You know anybody with a laptop and Wi-Fi being a journalist? Mm-hmm.
You got to combat that.
Like, times are changing, like, quickly.
And again, I was having this talk with my father.
I'm like, like, remember, tell me what kind of phone did you have 10 years ago?
I had a StarTech.
What type of phone did you have 10 years ago?
Oh, shit, a Flip?
Oh, wait, 10 years ago was a 506, a Nextel. Yeah, a Samsung or something i had a next tell 10 years don't seem like that long ago no that's crazy that's the end
of high school yeah next time i don't do a lot of different shit now i could see a lot of things
being different in 10 years from now i don't see a lot of shit being different a year from now
yeah but in 10 years I could just really see
like some amazing,
and I don't want to talk about it
because I'm not going to start
depressing people.
It's important that you get out there
and vote.
I will say that.
It's important that you get out there
and vote.
It's important that you get out there
and vote.
And I'm not even,
oh, it's fucking campaign time
so let me fucking plug, plug, plug, plug.
I've never been that guy
my entire career
but it's important you get out there
and vote.
Now,
do you guys
have an answer to that question that I
proposed earlier? Is Drake going to speak
after all that? No, no.
He's at his peak now. Has he peaked?
Has he peaked?
Has he peaked? I agree with Royce. I have to hear
his views. With someone with such a
great discography
and for the past... When did Drake...
When did he so Far Gone? 09?
But even you saying I have to
hear views lends credence
to my argument.
It says he's not really going
in with the momentum we're used to.
Yeah, definitely.
But with someone with such a
great past, you can't just put that to them that
quick. Someone that has done that many
great things, you still have to give them that benefit of the doubt until it's consistently becoming that way
okay you're talking to somebody who it's consistently been that way for for a little
while now but he's so calculated like i feel like he might like you're talking to somebody
who very much like you when i see drake's name i just download it i don't bother
listening to it because it's just fires just fire but i like you just said that we did but wait time
out but you know that about me so but you're still doing that time out but you know that there's no
hater in me i mean i have to say that to you because these people listening they don't know
me it could sound like just light skin on light skin hate to an
idiot and it's important that this is not for idiots so with you knowing i'm that way it's been
that way with me for a while i haven't rushed to i haven't rushed to download even today i didn't well you're also and this isn't an age joke you're 35
he's catering to the 20 to 28 era and that's what's working right now my timeline was going
was only talking about that drink shit and that hasn't changed at all so to say that
he is completely peaked and you can't give him the benefit of the doubt that views may be great.
Well, I never said that this should be a Miranda on how views will sound.
I'm talking about going into it.
For the masses, he still does.
For you, maybe not.
But the masses, yes.
Okay.
Rory, we're predicting.
So, yeah, you're right.
But we're predicting. Of course, to the masses today, he still does. Well, no, you're right. But we're predicting.
Of course, to the masses today, he still does.
Well, no, you asked me if you think he's peaked.
I'm talking about musically.
I don't care about what people are saying.
I'm talking about, have we heard the best of Drake music from Drake?
In my opinion, no.
That's what I mean.
I don't care.
But to the masses, he hasn't skipped a step.
To me, yeah.
But my personal opinion is not the majority.
The majority is he has not skipped a step.
Everyone immediately went to download that Drake shit.
I'm missing.
Stop what they was doing.
I'm tweeting about it right away.
Midway through the song.
Well, that's because he demands that.
But that don't speak to the greatness or non-greatness of the song like
those are two different arguing points everybody's stopping to do stopping what they're doing and
listening to the song which we agree on happens that don't speak to whether the fucking song is
amazing or not it is a good song one dance but his single right now is Hotline Bling,
which was the biggest record in the past few years.
So you can't really say that he's peaked
because he just put out a smash.
While in the other little intricate freestyles,
he may not be grabbing you.
Come on, Rory.
You know what the detractors say about Drake and that Hotline Bling record.
So it's not really even fair that you bring that up in this argument because that lends to my argument.
And I don't want to talk about that because I don't want to believe that yet.
But we're getting more and more voices coming out.
I'm not talking about that, nor want to put that in this conversation.
See, I don't want to talk about it either.
But when you talk about Hotline Bling, I have to talk about that.
So I don't want to talk about Hotline Bling.
Me neither.
But it's, I mean, you still can't take that out of the equation because it's a smash single.
Like, it's huge.
Well, that's why.
It's out of here.
Well, that's why off of this podcast.
And I can't say he's peaked because he just put out a huge record.
Well, that's why off of this.
That's a good record. Mus off of that's a good record
musically it's a good record that my response to that is going to be bad
which we just said we weren't going to talk about and then you followed it we're talking about it
well who's to say with the one dance you can say the same with the one dance just because people
are coming out now if we're going to go that route then you could say that about his other
smash singles way back when that's why i didn't want to bring it in here because there's no actual evidence
but we're not talking about way back then i'm only talking about from take care moving forward
that's all well you alluded that when the weekend left that his sound changed it did and his momentum
changed it did it did so we are bringing that into the conversation then.
Oh, wait, what are we saying now?
Oh, people.
Because we were saying that's his peak, right?
And you were saying the weekend was heavily involved in that.
And that is what you are saying is his peak is take care.
I do agree with you at this moment.
That is the best thing he has put out. Everybody should agree to take care is the peak.
So to say that you can put the weekend into the take care when you're saying when he's peaking you can't then just not put it with hotline bling and say oh someone might
erode it so we can't put that in this conversation all because you're putting the weekend into the
take care peak that you just said i have to all right and i'm gonna close with this since you're
making me do a timeline all i'm telling you is this i'm'm not saying that, yo, since the weekend left, that nigga shit been crazy whack.
I'm not saying that.
I don't think you are.
All right.
What I'm saying is this.
Take care is peak Drake at his finest, his best body of work as of today.
The consensus would be.
Right?
Since then,
I've heard Trapper Drake
for a lot of years now.
I've heard Dancehall Drake
for a lot of years now.
I've heard Drake on a Fetty Wave.
I've heard Drake on a I Love
Kanonan, Kamoman, Machonan wave.
I've heard Drake on a Tanashi wave
I've heard Drake on
I can tell you all of the waves that I have
heard Drake
on and nothing
really seeming to be quite like
then you have the rumblings of the
two Houston kids saying whatever they said
I don't know because I didn't believe two fucking
I don't believe that shit so I pay no mind
I'm just telling you the rumblings that are in the air we have party tweeting that he had
a project coming out fucking last year and that project is still nowhere to be found he's been
quiet at the church mouse we would have to assume he's working with drake on views right we have
party who wrote the work record for rihanna so i could say that drake knows that work record is
about to be number one in advance,
hence him running to the studio and making mad replicas of that record.
Of course.
So now, with all of that information in the can,
and I'm saying this as a Drake fan,
when I look back to the peak and I say,
well, what happened then?
What was going on back then?
The only thing relative to it is, oh shit, the weekend
left. That's all
I'm saying. I don't have
any inside information.
And Drake is a fucking
superstar now, so I'm
not mad at niggas writing for him.
He's
reached that level for me like i think that's what
my problem is it's like when you when you have somebody that you fucking love and only you know
about and then too many people know about i've never fallen victim to that but now i feel like
drake is a dance hall superstar he's a reggaeton superstar i'm dead ass these are the this is the music that me a day one
drake fan has gotten um reggaeton fucking drake i've gotten uh trapper fucking i've gotten every
drake but the drake i fell in love with why he's progressing in his career Ye did the same thing he just did it better he progressed
he changed the sound
going with the times
yeah
I mean I'm not
suggesting
it's better or worse
but that is what he's doing
he's progressing with the sound
that is relevant now
while maybe
it could have stayed relevant
if he would have stayed
to the take care
so far gone
Drake created
the sound
now
I'm not in his brain but don't do that rory
don't do that me and you fucking cringed when we heard fucking jay-z doing uh uh a two chains flow
we cringed so now don't so now so now don't come now don't do that don't don't don't how is he not
progressing with the sound the trap sound dra Drake didn't invent the trap sound.
I'm not agreeing with his moves.
I'm telling you what he did.
That's evidence.
That's just pure there.
I'm not saying it's good or bad or I agree with his moves or what he should have done or not.
Trap was fucking relevant.
He didn't need to do it, but he did it.
That's why he did it.
Drake has created a whole genre of a sub genre of music.
The Drake that I'm talking about that I love.
Not the wave chaser Drake.
It's two different Drake's.
And I don't want to ever refer to an MC and artist that great that way.
It sickens me anytime we do it.
When we say it's two different holes, two different cams, two different Waynes, two different Dave. We're saying the same thing.
I hate it all.
We're saying the same thing.
I'm just telling you what happened.
He went with the sound that was relevant.
All right, but no.
I would have loved if he would have fucking took all the Majid Jordan shit, all the party sound, all all Bryson Tiller and made views from the 6
like that
because that is the OVO sound
I would have preferred that
but he didn't do that
he did the trap shit
and let them get that lane
I forgot about that
Majid Jordan is in my
earlier argument
about all of this too
about waves
cause that's important
waves or views?
no about
oh waves
I think you missed
well I think that was probably why their album was not as good and I do believe cause I think you missed well I think that was
probably why their album
was not as good
and I do believe
because I think they're
working on views
and you know what
and I'm saying all of this
just to have content
on a podcast
just because it's
food for thought
if you're open minded
enough to just
really look at
their inner
intricate
inner workings
of shit that's happening
but
I do believe that people behind the scenes are angry with Drake.
I do believe that.
I believe it when he's saying those things that he's saying about executives
or higher-ups doing whatever the fuck they're doing.
So, like, I understand his predicament.
I do.
To piggyback off that, can we ask why Jay did one line on that record?
Namesake.
But why?
Because that's pretty monumental.
But why do it that way? the three of them
they're all intelligent
why?
it was like when they did
Black Republican
I was like why J.A. Nas?
why?
you didn't like Black Republican?
I liked it but
I mean of course I had
the fucking dream
oh yeah come on
I love success
I love love success
of course we love success
success is great
this is fucking success
Black Republican
kinda got a lukewarm reception
took like four minutes
to just get a verse
yeah
and beat one of you
that dope
they took Mad Long
bringing the beat in
pardon me
me as an MC
I miss
I do miss those days
where the beats
came in and rocked
for Mad Long
like on that record
that we was just talking about what record was that Black Republican Black Republican yeah but the beat just rocked for mad long like on that record that we was just talking about
what record was that black republic yeah but the beat just rocked for mad long clap back that's
another one when you know you just got a smoker of a beat yeah and you just remember clap back
coming on oh i was tight on uh life of pablo on famous when even yay says, Swiss said let the beat ride, and he let it ride for like a bar.
Yeah,
what the fuck was that?
I was like saying,
so what was it before Swiss said,
let the beat ride?
Yeah,
when you let the beat ride,
my nigga,
you gotta let the beat ride.
You just gotta let the beat ride.
Jesus,
Mary and Joseph.
All right,
am I missing anything?
Am I missing anything?
I wanna put that argument to bed.
I wanna wish all of these brothers,
nothing but success but more success
because these people are already successful.
But, yeah, just food for thought if you're just watching the fucking war
going on inside of music right now the way that I am.
So I have to ask these things.
All right.
Oh, shit.
Did I miss anything?
No.
I don't think so.
No, I don't think I can think of anything else, Marty.
Is there anything exciting happening this week that I must talk about?
Nah.
Doesn't really feel like it.
Easter was kind of muddy.
Easter.
Oh, yeah.
That was two weeks ago, right?
Yeah, a little bit late.
Yeah, we were in L.A. for Easter.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, it was two weeks ago.
We're going back to L.A., right?
Yeah, man.
They announced the candidates
For the XXL freshman cover
Like last week
I don't care
It's like a thousand of them
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I gotta wait till they narrow it down
Damn, they kind of lost credibility on that
Yeah
It used to be so great
Yeah, I don't care
I don't know if that's XXL's fault
I'm not saying it's anyone's fault
They just lost it
You know, I understand
I understand the business aspect of things
It just sickens me
Because a lot of these up-and-coming kids,
they call me for advice, and they'd be really excited about getting some of these accolades,
like the XXL freshman cover.
And because I know it's business and how it works,
it just puts me in an awkward position predicament every single time.
So I don't really care about that.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Me and Rory went to a bar on Sunday.
Oh, let's quickly go through this.
The squad is in trouble, man.
No, they're not.
You called it from jump.
No.
What happened?
Yo, Madi might be getting kicked out of the squad.
It's my squad.
I can't stand this conversation.
She been kicked out of the squad.
No, no.
So, against my better judgment, we go to ringside.
It's me, Madi, and Samira.
Samira is part of the squad.
I think by accident she's been on this podcast or yelling in the background.
Joe, have you ever seen the clip of Kelly Rowland saying,
I am the second lead vocalist of Destiny's Child,
and Beyonce coughs
and then gives her a side eye
I am asking the history
of the squad
to Samira
I said oh I didn't know I thought you knew
Madi from childhood
she says
I said no I only knew Samira for a year
I said oh that's crazy how'd you get into the squad
she said
well me and Danielle are best friends.
And then Madi, corner of my right eye,
throws the side eye right at her,
and I'm left speechless.
It really wasn't a side eye.
It was.
There's nothing to it.
It was 1,000% a side eye.
They are best friends.
Danielle are best friends.
We all think that. It was. It was 1000% a side eye. But I told you there's some weird synergy going on.
There's never weird synergy.
I don't go out much.
Are we seeing the demise of the squad before our very eyes?
You guys are the most annoying fucking people in the world.
I don't go out much, period.
That's it.
They go out a lot.
I don't like doing the shit that they do 90% of the time.
Your tone is way too aggressive.
Because you guys keep saying this to me, and I keep telling you.
So that's why your tone's aggressive.
Yes.
So clearly the aggressive tone's not changing anything.
But still, your tone remains aggressive.
That's phenomenal.
Whatever.
Oh, well, Mighty got me a PBA card out of it.
Oh, yeah, I was flirting with some cop, and he gave him a PBA card.
Thanks, cop.
And that's all your flirting is good for?
That's pretty good. He bought me two drinks, and And he gave him a PBA card Thanks cop Man that's all your flirting is good for That's pretty good
He bought me two drinks
And he gave Rory a PBA card
PBA cards don't hold the same weight
That they used to
Nah they don't
They really really don't
I feel like they just
Printing them shit
And giving them out
Yeah yeah yeah
Back in the day
You had one of them shit
You was good out the gym
Not now boy
Be careful out there
It's rough
Before they used to be like
Alright who you related to
Like they'd care
Now they just look at your license And run your shit And lock your shit i never used that i got like a laminated thing from my
dad's uh trooper friend hi vanessa says i know you're listening i just don't say hi to people
you know listening yo so uh damn that would be so bad cleveland but listen shut the fuck up marissa
i'm saying i two people no yo so i'm having a conversation with an older woman who shall remain anonymous via text.
And I'm having to answer for all of the embarrassing things that have ever occurred in my life.
Like my love and hip-hop vests.
She been killing you?
Dating Kaylin and Tahiri.
It's not embarrassing.
Shout out to them.
They're good people.
It's embarrassing when you're speaking to people your age.
Tahiri was a real... When I'm not speaking to children, it's embarrassing.
Love is never embarrassing.
It was beautiful.
You guys are dicks.
It was beautiful.
It was good.
The top embarrassing things.
Well, embarrassing a Jace.
It's something in that ballpark. There's embarrassing behavior. They, embarrassing a Jace. It's something in that ballpark.
There's embarrassing behavior.
They are both very good women.
There's nothing embarrassing about having been in love with them at that one time.
Yeah, it wasn't right for you.
It didn't work out, but there's something wrong with it.
They're good people, and it was good for what it was.
No, you're wrong.
It was good TV.
I get that you're a little younger as well, but you're wrong.
When you're speaking to 40-year-olds, a 35-year-old putting its dick
in a 20-year-old is creepy.
I mean, it is creepy.
It always was.
So we don't have to defend it.
There's nothing creepy
about you not being here, you know.
You weren't 35 then.
Yeah.
I'm trying to help you out here.
30.
Yeah, still.
But you weren't 35.
No.
Trying to help you as a friend, man.
Let's see.
33.
No, 32.
All of it is next.
My point still stands.
I mean, what I'm saying is nothing for you and I to argue about.
I get your point.
I'm not saying that these people are bad people.
I'm just talking about how it's viewed.
Your behavior, maybe.
How it's viewed.
Yeah, me.
I thought older women loved denim.
She wasn't into your vest?
No. It was a nice vest, man.
It was trash.
It's just a joke.
People really liked it.
Nah, this bitch got a lot of jokes.
She been killing you?
I'm off it, man.
I'm getting my ass kicked in this fucking...
Oh, and I ain't about to piss Vanessa off
because Vanessa's going to hear something on this podcast
and think something else is going on
and then something else is going to be happening.
And then she's going to block me.
Yeah, well, you should be blocked already still.
No, she didn't block me.
We're friends now.
Oh, she did?
Why do people do that?
They always block the people that are your friends.
You know what I realized about Vanessa?
And we're going to get out of here after this, but this is what I realized about Vanessa.
Or this is what Vanessa helped me realize about me.
I love crazy.
You just realized that?
I love crazy. I love it. You just realized that? Vanessa.
I love crazy.
I love it.
It's kind of entertaining.
Like, it's kind of dope a little bit if it can be controlled.
You're fucking nuts.
You're crazy, and that's why you love crazy.
Well, if I am, I wouldn't know it because I say crazy.
Yo, next time you rap, just hit playback and listen to yourself.
Mm, valid. Shouldn't have taken you this long.
Sleeper song of the week.
Oh, well, I just finish it and
play back on the Joe and all I heard was Joey sound to watch now all right our

So Joe and Rory, you guys both should have heard of this song.
This is for Ty Dolla $ign newer fans that don't know about his older work.

Since y'all put me on the spot.
Selling out.
At least I have integrity with this series.
Now I changed my mind.
Oh, we can do this.
Have I done this song?
Have I done this Chris Brown song before?
I don't think you've done
a Chris Brown one.
I don't remember ever
doing a Chris Brown song.
And a lot of people
don't know about this song
because they didn't buy
that album Royalty.
Because it just wasn't
that great of an album.
I ran through it twice.
But the joints
that I love on there,
oh man.
Every time,
