Starting point is 00:00:00 I can't kick it with the fake. I won't sleep with the snakes. Now that's the lines that I keep playing back over and over and over. Because obviously there's so many implications and different ways that you could take it. But obviously, I think we can guess what Quabo is saying with the line. I can't kick it with the fake and I won't sleep with the snake. with the snakes. And I think
Starting point is 00:00:35 I won't sleep with the snakes. It's a double entendre for a male and woman for the people who kind of broke
Starting point is 00:00:49 the bond that Quabo had with his offset because I don't want to make it seem like Cuevo an offset
Starting point is 00:00:57 solely split up because of a woman. I'm not going to say that. But to say I won't sleep with the snakes, I can't kick it with the fakes. And then to have the whole Grammy situation happen with the backstage altercation with Cuevo literally, you know, blocking Cuevo, I mean, offset from entering the stage because the takeoff tribute wasn't his track. It was Cuevos.
Starting point is 00:01:29 So Cuevo block offset from going on a stage. stage. It was a little altercation, but you know, um, if you ever look up the altercation, I mean, actually my site might pop up because one of those videos did pretty well as far as the Quavo offset interaction. If you look up on Twitter, uh, Quavo, Quavo versus Offsend notorious mass effect, it should pop up. But basically I had the whole like behind the scenes footage, uh, not like me, of course, but you know, just doing my journalistic, uh, due diligence and, and, uh, putting the video up of the whole altercation of Quayvacian of, on the opposite and carty be yelling in the background y'all both wrong y'all both wrong y'all both
Starting point is 00:02:06 know you should have been talking and then i guess i guess quaver offset told her to you know be quiet which is in a much more explicit way but uh let's just say the offset and and quavo's relationship is is um what's the word they use when they don't know how long it's going to be i forget it but it's like that term that MBA be using it all the time. Basically, for the, for the foreseeable future, Cuevo and Offset are not on the same page. And I will say a name. I mean, I would say a name, but I don't want to be that messy. But all I'm going to say is, I believe it's over a woman, but we can never be too short. But the whole saying, I won't sleep with the snakes. I can't kick it with a fake. I mean, there's only one thing you say that you're,
Starting point is 00:03:01 dog snakes you on when it's that important and it's either money women or both so anyways um quavo dropped his second tribute for um take off of course rest and peace take off and it's called greatness and the video is very sporadic and just um all over the place i mean of course it's quavo just enjoying life so i'm not going to say it's like a bad video by any stretch of the imagination but i would just thought it would just been like take off in quavo you know a bunch of old videos of them um maybe they're saving that for the documentary you know there's going to be made there's going to be a documentary made about the migos um because even with the without you tribute by quavo which i thought was one of the best tracks of twenty three a lot of people mess with me they're like bro that's not
Starting point is 00:03:51 even close that that tribute was whack i was like what like y'all thought it was whack like man that man was pouring out his his heart and soul for his brother and people just comment and just people just comment and messaging me like man that stuff whack i don't know how you like i'm like dang it's an evil world we're living but anyway anyways um so quabo's back again to give another takeoff tribute and um i think i even saw mark phillips from r dc world in the video that's how random it was but anyway um uh the video also has other things about Quavo's life, of course. He gets nostalgic about the good times he shared with Takeoff.
Starting point is 00:04:32 So it's not just like a sad track. It's also talking about other good things that they shared throughout his lifespan. And honestly, being a huge Migo fan, I'm not going to lie to you. Being a huge Migo fan, it hurt my heart to see that Quayvon offset wasn't going to make up after Takeoff passed away. Because, you know, at first we thought it was over a woman and then Takeoff Pass. and they still didn't get together. So now it makes me feel like it was even more than that
Starting point is 00:04:56 or maybe it was something on top of that. Like I said, I feel like situations where family can only really get to, like, it's only so, there's only a couple things that could really separate, like, real family, I think. I think it is money or women, honestly. I think that's the two I think about. I can't think of anything else.
Starting point is 00:05:21 but um yeah man it's an unfortunate situation because in junior high and high school i grew up listened to the migos i remember getting ready for games planned across the country like it was just the greatest thing since slice bread both quavo takeoff and this is back when they were wrapped like two minutes like each so the track would end up being like six minutes so it was back in that day like i was like like um really enjoying amigos and even into my high school days into my college days and to now, I guess the phrase you either die, hero, or live long enough to become the villain, is is wearing his head up because on one side, Takeoff dead unfortunately passed away by being shot in the head because of an altercation over just an argument. And then you have Offset, who has had repeated events in just instances.
Starting point is 00:06:24 where he's been in a negative light, but somehow, some way, he gets back into the good graces of the public. I mean, we're not too far removed of Offset repeatedly, I mean, repeatedly cheating on Cardi B to the point where Cardi B says she was finished, then Offset was showing up forcefully, which is why I'm comparing this Grammy situation to that, showing up forcefully on stage with a bunch of flowers everybody like oh look he really wants his woman back all that good stuff but there's another side of that is he gonna stop cheating or is he
Starting point is 00:07:05 just wanting carty be back and some people will say it's both uh no no or some people would just say he wants carty be back but he wants to keep cheating so it's like obviously he's had situations where his morals has been in question. But of course, everybody makes mistakes, right? But it's just a repeatability and the repeated action of taking Cardi B for granted that made her even leave him in the first place and acted like it was really done with Offset. And obviously he got her back.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And this whole thing happened with Cuevo. And allegedly, it's with another woman and he's married to Cardi B. Cardi B is not really speaking on it She's not saying it's false but she's basically not speaking on it and it's It's detrimental to offsets Public persona because if you don't know It seems like Cuevo is the only one that's really in the lane to do it justice when when making a tribute to take off because it seems like the industry talk is that Offset wasn't as close with
Starting point is 00:08:21 quave on takeoff before the ultimate passing of takeoff, which even Jay Prince talked about that, but I mean, Jay Prince is a little biased, obviously. But what I really wanted to touch on was just the whole Unconfue album being specifically because Offset wanted to distance himself from QC and P and wanted to be under his own, like, tutelage. And I feel like that didn't have anything to do with the music. egos until the whole quavo and takeoff interview where they basically spoke on offset and said that they really put a lot of importance on on loyalty so whatever offset did
Starting point is 00:09:11 there was something that was that was broken with that bond that that cannot be fixed and that's why i just can't wrap my mind around to be an anything other than money or a woman because what could cause family for that long to sever ties completely. So anyways, with this whole tribute track from Croybo, I'm thinking that offset will be in a tough place because obviously he's tried to put out music. I mean, let me look at it because I think he tried to put out a track not too long ago. I forget what it was.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I don't know if he was a feature or if it was his own track. But the track really didn't go anywhere. Let me see. It wasn't this one. Trying to find it. Okay, two live. Yeah, see, even when you go to it, like, Two Live was released in January 13th,
Starting point is 00:10:13 and he already has some saddio where he's a feature off of another person's track on his artist page. Like, it's like he's burying this hit boy single when it's just that. It's a single-by-offset from Hit Boy. Like, it should have had more impact than the actually. did. So I feel like offset is in a tough place from a moral standpoint because like I say, you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. And for offset, a lot of the indication of pointing towards offset is not being a good human being. So anyways, maybe I'm just
Starting point is 00:10:53 totally off with that. Of course, we don't know any of these celebrities. So obviously it's just off of my own information. I've been watching, listening, and just being infatuated by the Migos process in general. But at this point, it's like the truth seems to be coming to the light. And it's
Starting point is 00:11:11 an unfortunate reality that's that most times the, you know, all good things have to come to an end. So, you know, I'm fortunate. I hate to end on a somber note. But I guess
Starting point is 00:11:27 one of the more bright spots of this is that Cuevo is dropping some fantastic tributes for takeoff and I mean just straight fantastic tributes I would say greatness and without you it's just too I'm not I'm not gonna say greatness is a you know no pun intended but it's not a great track it's it's an average track but without you that first tribute from Cuevo tours off uh Tours takeoff was a I think a classic you know disregarding where everybody else is commenting, but I think it's a classic. So anyways, click my link to your bio.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Cuevo's second tribute track to take off greatness? And do you think that Cuevo and offset will ever get back together?
