one of the most epic verse. My boy, shout to my boy Phil. Well, you know, that's some back to back, the back. That verse is fucking crazy. What was going through your mom when you did that one? Man, that album was like, man, you know, I tried to, like, do something to kind of sum up my childhood. Like, well, like, my teenage years are just being on some,

I was a part of some shit I wasn't supposed to be a part of. And I was just like, how can I, like, make a capsule of it and kind of make it an experience, but also have some lessons in it. So I guess that whole album, I was just in that mind frame. I had to kind of like take myself back to that time. And all the lessons I learned and things that I went through during that time,

I just put it in lyrics. You say that thing, because my favorite song on the album, some of my own voice, too, is closer, but on top of the sample, crazy. Like, you was really rapping your life on that bitch. You can feel that shit. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's kind of like,

been my whole thing. Like, I can't even write if it ain't about me or like, it's close to me, you know what I'm saying? No pun intended. So I think, yeah, that whole project was just a reflection of right before I, you know, got in the music industry. It was just like how I just kind of just, you know, went cold turkey in the street and just kind of fully focused on my career

and, you know what I mean, and my blessings and my talent. I had. People say that a lot of times. They pursue their dreams, leave it alone. But, like, how did you make that type of a transition? Because obviously, you know what I'm saying? He was a little successful in the field at first. And then you're just like, fuck it.

I got a chance in music. It's up. I mean, because I always wanted to do music before anything. I just thought, to me, I always thought the streets was like, I was disappointed. I was in the street. I was like, how the fuck did I get here? You know what I'm saying?

Like, me would be excited to be there. I'd be like, I had, man, I was really an athlete growing up. So varsity in two sports. Yeah, varsity in two sports. I was a varsity in track and football. So I was on that. And then I got a kid out of school, kind of dropped out after that. And then it was just the shit, pick up a pack.

And then after that, my life just, you know, whirlwind, jail, shootouts, all type of foolishness. So I was just like, man, what can I do? And then my buddy had a studio in his garage. Yeah. So I just went in there and just kind of was like really just rapping my frustration as a guy was only 15, 16, so yeah. When year did you start, like, taking their rap serious, though?

Like, oh, I really got some. I can do some with this. Um, I think I had to be like, almost like, I always took, well, I started rapping when I were young, so I had to be like ninth grade kind of by, but then, like, three, three years after that, four years after that, I was like on five, just like throughout the industry. So I just started, when they started putting them numbers on the table, with them zeros, I was like, hold up now. And I was just like, shit, okay, I could take this serious now.

Hell yeah. Now you say, you know what I'm saying? You was on the field with it. What position you play? I played tailback and receiver. You know what I'm saying? I was him. I was him.

I always tell people that my, where I grew up at, I had a, my, before I went to high school, I played my little league team. 17 went D1, like 11-1, went to the, league. And I was the captain. So I played with Reggie Ball, Craig Lumpkin, all of them. So, yeah, yeah, we were cold.

So shout out to All them from the East Side of Atlanta, yeah. You had some offers? I mean, I was supposed to go to Georgia. Georgia was crewed me in the ninth grade. That was I was going to tell. I was him. Yeah. I went to the Junior Olympics twice.

I'm with him, bro. Respect. So, you know what I'm saying? I know the sports. That's why I'm here. I'm here to look on that. You know what I'm saying? I'm here to like let you all do.

You know what I mean? Respect. Yeah, my boy was into Olympics. Yeah, for sure. I probably ain't got no bars about that yet, man. You ain't fixed that? I mean, you know, when I said, I've lost it in two sports.

My representation receded me, you know what I mean? It was real. I was him on that, for sure. Man, now, interesting, we bounce around a little bit, but, like, your sound, being from Atlanta is totally different than what you would expect for somebody to quote, be from Atlanta. did you get your sound

and where'd you grow up listening to? Well, I couldn't really grow up listening to rap. So, like, I heard rap like in, like, the club party. So, you know, triple C, late ball. We were just partied to that. But I couldn't listen to rap in the house.

Damn. So I was just, I ain't had no music with my parents listen to gospel or jazz or whatever. That's what I can listen to. But I didn't get my first CD. I had a, um, I had a, um, I had to, the dude in my neighborhood, he loved rap.

And he was like from New, I think he might have been from New York, New Jersey or something. And the first city he gave me was reasonable doubt. Oh, yeah. And I was like, God, man, who was this? Then I started getting into Nause, and I started, he just put me on a bunch of East Coast names. And then what happened?

Let me tell you what really happened. I was in high school, and we had an influx of, you know, East Coast New York dudes moving to Atlanta. So they had these little ciphers at the end of, the hallway and they used to embarrass all my buddies that was from Atlanta. And like one summer, I was just upset with them, I think at the end of the school, I just,

one of them needed to destroy one of my partners. I was like, you know, Nick's, I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna get this nigga to business. So after that, I just went home that summer,

just, you know, started working those and shit right. I came at the school. I'm flaming. So I just think after that, when I destroyed all the New York dudes in my school, I knew I had some.

Damn, that's great. You go out from your first seat, you listen to a reasonable doubt to being on the song with him. And low-key washing. Yeah. And I freestyled that. A lot of people don't know.

I ain't, I wouldn't expect to be on that song. Oh, you was just in the studio. I was just in the studio. I was bored. He asked me to write the hook on Soul Paul. So I was just like, I'm just give him a little hook. And then after that, I was telling the engineer,

like, move me to the eight-minute mark. Because the song was only like, the lyrics stopped at, like, a minute and a half. So I told him to put me at the eight-minute mark so I could just get my little freestyle off. And he heard it like two months later because he was playing it for Jay-Z and Beyonce and he didn't press stop on the beat.

So the song's still playing in Pro Tooth, then my verse just come in. And then, shit, Beyonce was like, whoever that is, you need to sign him. So that's how I started. That was your first shot. Yeah. Not into the industry, but working with Yates.

You know, my first thing, but I had deals with, I used to work with, I was signed by Jazzy Fay back in the day when I was in the group. Then I worked with A-Con for a second. Then after that, that's when I linked up with you. Okay. Yeah. You're telling me you freestyle that verse, bro. Yeah.

God had iPod, you know, playlists. That was just on your spirit? Yeah, it might have took me about, yeah, it might just took me five minutes, kind of about. That's crazy. Damn, bro. You know. That's why I was kind of like, I wanted him to let me go. going to really, but I was like,

if he already liked it, fuck it, just go with it. So shit, it was that, dude. That was it. I don't care how good, Dre. You get a Beyonce Cozod. Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure. That's my Burgo sister.

So, you know what it is. This, man. What you do? I looked at, I looked at a few at your time. I mean, I mean, we know, you know the Knicks and the Hawks play. You know the Knicks and the Hawks play all the time. He said, see him while the thing. Yeah.

He fucking wrestled. Okay. Oh, he wrestled? Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. We're the cool. All right.

But we need people like you and the crew, so we appreciate that. We appreciate that. How was that being part of that good music group, though? Like, at first. I was like that first year. No, no. It was cool when we first got there. It was camaraderie, man.

It was the, to me, that was the craziest moment in hip-hop kind of vibe. Because it was like, it was almost like we was the Power Rangers or, like, captain of planet. So shit. All the powers combined. You know what I'm saying? We all just came together. And then, um,

I mean, it was really a learning. To me, I always tell people like, I don't like to say this, but I got to say this because it's just like my true. By the time I met Holmes,

I kind of gave up on rap. I was just happy to be out of the street at that point because it was just like, I had, um, you know, growing up, I was signed to like some street dudes.

So a lot of my, early opportunities I wanted to have, I couldn't really get it all the way done because people that was affiliated with it was kind of like making the record label's nervous and shit like that. So my time I kind of just got all that out the way and, you know, got through the A-Con

situation, the cap situations. It was just like, by the time I meet a genuine nigga, it was just like, bro, what you need me do? Bring in coffee, carry the bags. I'm like, I'm on that at that point. You know what I mean? So everything after that was just like I was just of service. No, that's hard.

Man, you was around for so much. Even that situation, like, R.P. The Virgil, like, you was around for that area. Like, I always tell people that at Don C. area, it was such a creative area. You got to witness all of that. And over there. What was that like, even not even talking about music?

Man, all of them was just super creative, bro. I mean, it was, it was amazing to see. Like, I was there when they created the Nike. I forget which one that one. The one with the glow on, the gray one and the black one. That glowing in the dark. One or two, yeah. Yeah, both of them, the first Fon, the first Adidas, all that I was there for.

Shout to be. But I always tell people, man, like, that was really yay, bro. His taste level and his style and just, he just, you know, radiates that kind of energy throughout the room. It's just, and, you know, he bringing in the most swagged out shit ever. Like, for him to make one shoe, he might. go thrifting around the world twice and bring in, I would say, 3,000 pair of shoes to make one shoe. Damn.

Like, you're going to get every shoe from Japan to Australia, bring that shit in the room, be like, okay, I like the soul of that. I like the shoe strings on that. I don't like the tongue on that, but I like the fabric on that tongue. Cut that, you know what I mean? Like, he was on that level of thinking. So just to be able to see that process throughout all that, With all them guys, it was just, it was cool.

Yeah, that lineup was crazy, man. You, Sean Chains was around. Push was around. Like, y'all really was a rap superheroes, too. And then I didn't want you on the Cypher at all. Absolutely not. Especially not me. You know what I mean?

Especially not me. That album was fired. Yeah, for sure, it was. I had my dog on there. Kills. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, they still play that one.

That's my shit We're still playing Arkelly Oh no I mean he's a legend man Fuck it Robert he is where he is For he is for the show For the show

Being stupid For real That's a classic song On that one fuck That was gonna get crazy That album is super You work with art No

No He's not You make you to the studio Yeah I'm trying to see for the side or I kill these all sounds. No, it don't sound. They got no sound too.

That motherfucker muted. Motherfucking. Not there, for sure. Yeah, I'm like stupid. Is it easier working on music for yourself, or is it easier working on helping a team project? I would say myself, but to me, to me it's just creativity.

So I'm cool with it either way, you know what I'm saying? Maybe when I work on stuff with other people, they, they don't like to take as many risks as I would like some artists to take, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, people kind of just go with what work. But me, for myself, I feel like I can just be, you know, creative as possible. Yeah. Do you pick those people, like yourself or do the industry bring them to you? Like, hey, the song for this person. Yeah, they come to me, but I don't work with all of them.

If you ain't, if you ain't, I'm an A-list kind of guy. And somebody who, like, really want to be, you know, want to have somebody to kind of bounce ideas off of. But, you know what I mean? If you ain't that, I really ain't, I ain't really ain't doing that with you, for sure. So you didn't roll whole songs for people? Like, and they, whole songs, have a song. And now I'm saying, they didn't do, they did.

Hey. Rial J. They do bar for bar. Yeah, I don't know that. Shit. Yeah. Like, when you hear it and, like, somebody, like, fucking with the song, Like, yeah, that shit cold.

Do you ever feel like, come on, bro, that ain't you? Like, you ever felt the way? No, time. I don't feel the way, man. Because it's a process I learned from Yeh that I do, whereas I make myself have to, you know, I need to be around the artist for at least two to two weeks to a month. You know what I'm saying? Just to be able to, like, know what you on, kind of know your vibe, what's your process,

how you, I want to meet your parents, your girlfriend. Like, I need to know. what you want. So when I write it, it don't sound like my verse. It sounds like something you wrote. You know what I'm saying? So I like to try to like, you know,

gather that information prior to going into the studio and working on something for artists. What's the song that you were in the studio that came about this? You was like, oh, this is the one. Oh, this shit's crazy. Two was Father Stretch and Sickomode. Hey, man. Shout to Metro.

We was just in Vegas. and Metro played that as the opening this song and his set and everybody in the club lost their fucking mind and I, you know what I'm gonna say it for you the person who had the hardest verse in this song should have been on that song

and it's this gentleman because the Saha-ha-fung-shunders my hands are it's fucking crazy if a dick is not tapped in tap in his old soundclass yeah no oh for real? Yeah.

Damn. I did that in the car I mean I know somebody somebody stripped that off the internet damn nah that was yeah you know it's crazy

bro it's like I tell people this all the time, like, I've been to shit for so long. When my verse get ticking off a song, I don't even trill. Damn. I got a problem, bro. It's like when you've been that niggins since kindergarten,

it'd be like, bro, I'm going to put Big Sean on it. Go on the little bit Sean rap on it, man. Don't let Nyes get that. Nause need this. You know what I mean? Like, I've been Nazi. See, this thing, Nog's been famous for 20 years. Yeah.

I've been famous for 20 years, too. Mm. You know what I mean? So I just never had that. Yeah, T. You know what I mean? I'm not the biggest fan right here. No, for sure.

I'm one of Nile's, I'm one of Nile's biggest fans, too. Nause, I mean, I'll tell you a Nile story. I tell this story. I was in a cipher and a dude came, you know, I was, I was rapping, and this dude was teaching me how to rap. And, um, he, first person I ever heard, you know, back then, it wasn't on any of that or nothing.

So we learned how to rap, learning other people rap. You get what I'm saying? We couldn't go to the studio and rap by own, right? Ain't no fucking studio. So he rapped me, I gave you power. I made you power.

Wow. When he told me that Niles wrote that and turned itself to a gun, that shit made me instantly lock in on, like, how creative I could be with music. So that Elmatic album, That was groundbreaking. Oh, there's going to.

Yeah. You said sick old moe though, man, that's a... Yeah. How was that? Like, how did that come about? Um, well, I think the beauty of it was, I was around trying for a minute, and we was just locking in,

and the grace of God, he had to go to the dentist that day. So his mouth was for, though, he couldn't rap. But he told me about this beat that he got from hip-boy, or something. And it was like, bro, this shit hard. I need some lines on this. That's why I kind of want to come on this vibe.

You know what I mean? I'm going to do this, this, this. And then, you know, that was down the time. I think Kylie was there with him. And then I think, bro, it's so funny. Like, every time I do some of my most amazing shit, the artist I'm working with got his girl and his girl want to go do something.

So they either want to go to movies or out to eat or something. So they went out to eat or something. And then I just was just bobbing to the room. I just, you know, came up with some lyrics for him and asked him, what you think about the I had a lot. He just kind of like, oh, I like this part. Ooh, this verse hard. Like, you know, doing what producer, artist, extraordinaire's do.

And then just, you know, I didn't know he's going to put Drake on him. Once Drake got on, it was up.

So, you're going to be on the track, but you know, it was going to be far even before, just because how far to beat.

Yeah, because it was the only thing like that on his album. And then I think Sylvia Rohn and Big John came into the studio one day. I think they was with like six, seven people. And he played his whole album, and they just kept saying, play that sick old mode again. Play that sick on mode again.

It was just like, oh, that's the one. That's a crazy feeling of me. Yeah, for sure, for the show. Damn, too. It's a short. night. Man, they're supposed to be bigger, but, you know what I mean? We're going to take our blessings how they go.

It's like, what, rural teas? Yeah, royal teas. Yeah. Well, you were just speaking to camp about that shit, like, if you write a song, do you ask, like, this motherfucker costs $150,000? Mm-hmm. Shit like that. Like, do y'all go about doing some stuff like that,

or is it straight on the back end? Well, now, I mean, I kind of conduct my business like that because I got, you know, enough cash in the game. But, you know, early on, they mistreated songwriters, you know what I'm saying? Because it's like, you know, most, especially in urban or like, especially in hip hop, the artist don't be wanting you to know a nigga helped them with the song. I'd be like, dude. Be like, bro, every artist got help with a song. Either if they partners was there or wasn't there.

It's like, that's what we get our inspiration from. I use a lot of lines that I heard my OG say back in the day. My buddy's smoking weed. He just says some funny shit. I might just throw it in the rap. You know, but in the black community, we don't look at it as contributing. We look at that as just,

niggins just here. Because, you know, we don't professionalize nothing. No, thanks. So it's like, we're just kicking it. But now it's like, no, songwriters need more, you know, input. And I would give a lot of credit to Yeh for that, too. It's like, by him being producer,

he was the first one that actually gave, co-writers credit. A lot of artists, they ain't gonna tell you they wrote you, you're gonna give this little check on the table, then you're gonna give this little check on the table, then? Shut up, right. Yeah, that was, that was Quinn Miller thing.

It was like, they was telling Quinn Miller, he couldn't say that. They were saying that to me, too, but I just ain't been that type of negative even tanked the art anyway. I want the art, the fans to think. Because a lot of the inspiration that songwriters do give to artists

come from the artists. Yeah, that's why we can, you know what I mean? Tap into that. So, yeah. Yeah, you put all 40 niggins names on them. Oh, yeah, for sure. He showed love. Yeah, give everybody credit.

A nigga who bring in the coffee. If you stay up long enough at three in the morning, you in there, he's going to give you credit. Like, he gives the most miscellaneous credit out. Yeah, damn. Did he be shitty by, hey, hold on, that's how much. Yeah, bro. But he feels like the girl with the short hair came with the vibe.

She danced to the song. He needs a publishing. And for sure, she don't got a publisher. I just seen a few songs. I'm like, he's the only one that got 40 people. Yeah. It's no way. Nigger would have had to get one word of piece, bro.

Yeah. For this to be. But that's, yay, as, Yate respect everything in the room. That's all right. Everything in the room. I mean, I've seen maids get,

get percentages on shoes. You know what I mean? Like, anything he do. If anything inspire him, he's going to give you something for it. That's all. You're the first one that I ever seen, dude. I'm like, damn.

Home cold. That's crazy. Not to nerd out too much about it, but I want to ask because my beautiful dark twist of fantasy is my favorite album of all time. Mine's too. Understandably so. Some of them sessions like the Charlie Wilson shit,

like what was that like what some of the stuff didn't make it? It just seemed like the vibes around that time all together was just immaculate. Man, there's ultralight beaming, bro. For sure, bro. I mean, all those sessions. Alicia Keys, I mean, I've seen Alicia Keys

seen all in the lights, pregnant. Swiss beats Nikki Minaj coming in the studio like it was just it was it was the zenith of black music and culture all in one yeah you know

conundrum whatever you you know what I mean so I think that right there was just that was the time to be alive is that something that could happen again or has streaming kind of ruin stuff like that uh yeah

but it just take the powers that be that like I think it just takes us to kind of come together. I think media kind of ruined it a little bit because it's media kind of like took away the mystique of artists. And, you know, sometimes it'd get a little messy

and kind of like tarnished artists when artists should still be kind of vague with their and let the art speak. But, you know, when these, when music is blowing up, you got more publications. Like, people want to speak with you. And then, you know, you get to start seeing, the flaws of these human beings

that we so-called looked up to and then it kind of like taints the music. I think the only artists that like kept that kind of is like Jay. Right, right. He kind of kept that mystique about him. Like, even though people try to pull him into the media space, he don't never like, he don't get you shit.

Like, he might talk to one person one time every five years. That's true. But he showed a little personality, but you're right. Nah, I suit up. But, you know, the media start not playing your records they're not supporting you too. So it's like, it just takes a balance.

Like, I think as journalists, you know, we got to kind of protect the artist sometimes too versus, you know, a lot of the time they want to get a story, you know what I'm saying? They want to get something out you. But I think it's a tasteful way of doing it. And I think, you know, it's still early on and too hip hop. Like I tell people, hip hop ain't number what, 50 years old. Yeah.

So I think we still getting some learning. but I think, you know, it'll come back around today. I think we'll get those times again. I think Drake about the drop. So, yeah. Yay just dropped, Drake by the drop. I think the energy going to be back. So it's a good time in music.

Nice. Summer miss Drake, for sure, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, to be real, I mean, we feel how you feel about the battle, but it's always good. We got good music all around the place, especially Drake because Drake is on the war. Sure, for sure.

Now, I don't know if it was AI or not, but you see the picket of Ye and Drake? I did. It looked like, yay, but I don't know if that's, I ain't. You know what I ain't spoke to him, but I think, I think, yeah, to me, Drake is great for the culture. I think, to me, I just think he took the battle a little too serious.

Yeah. I was going to ask you, too, how you felt about, like, when artists, since you are artists, when artists beef, like, do you think sometimes shit can kind of go too far, or do you fuck with the sport of the little rap battle, as long as don't anybody die? Well, it's a two-part of question. I feel like one, to me, I feel like we got to professionalize music and especially rap. If you don't have a major record deal, you can't be called a rapper or an artist.

Damn. To me, you got to be an inspiring. Like, if you, not as far as long as you any. I like YouTube basketball. I like the dudes on YouTube. Don't worry, he's on. He won't adapt you up right now. It's a huge.

I've been saying. The next chapter of a season. Absolutely. I'm just saying, somebody probably speed a goddamn truth. And I'm just saying like if a YouTube

basketball player got caught selling bricks, they'd be like, man, the NBA basketball player got caught selling bricks. Yeah, like,

fly home, for sure. But I think, what about any artist is like on his shit, though? Good. I know a lot of them

that T could be like, man, home got some game. Yeah. He didn't make it to the league. Because this is what I'm trying to say. It taints

the sport. You get what I'm saying? If you're in the audience. Because you got a thing. You're saying, what if they got beef, right? Yeah. They're killing and smacking each other. Now they think those same kind of artists is the equivalent of what

Drake and Tendrick going through. Yeah. Hell not. It's saying. His levels. His levels to the them things is they make music on the side that kind of just pass the day by.

So that's what I'm saying. Like, to me, the Drake and Kendra thing was more professional. It should have stayed professional. I think the lines get bluer when we start, when artists start trying to behave like the inspiring, the aspiring artists. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I tell people, excuse me,

if Drake would have been like, man, you know, that's one of the greatest rappers of America in America. He's good. You know, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. I got something. else coming out, boom, we would have took it as like, oh. And I feel like we would have got more records from Drizzy. But we didn't get that because we didn't over there like, man,

what are we going to do to this name? It's a rap, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's fucked up, but at the time period about it was a different level of excitement because we was looking forward to them drops, bro. Yeah, that's what I was talking about the drop soon. But it would be a kind of detrimental because we didn't have music And niggas didn't want to drop music

for them, they remember a year, year and a half after that. Exactly, exactly. Then the cold shit, cold was my favorite rappers, man. Right. It's like, damn, now, nobody want to rap no more. Yeah, because I'm like, what y'all going? Niggas is good kids. Literally.

Y'all ain't from, y'all ain't grew up, like, stop it, man. This thing, pocking big. Yeah. Ain't no, like, yeah, you might have recruited some real street niggas around you, but it's been real street niggas around us since we've been kids. That's a fact. And we've been dealing with that type of.

Yeah. So not saying you guys ain't stand up men, but like let's not take it to the point where we're going to lower ourselves to an indie status like the indie artist. All right now, hold on. So let's just go right here. What's up? What's up?

So you sell, you're saying take the high major record label over doing it the independent route. Yeah. It's never ever going. You're never going to be that big of an artist if you keep going in the end. You know what I mean? I'm saying is you can make money. But what I'm saying is we have to professionalize it to the point where it's like,

it's like this. Spotify pay out like I think $450 million a year. And it has to disperse to every artist that's on Spotify. So your sister could make 10 songs tomorrow. can go to the guitar center, get a $25, $5,000 on the setup. Yeah. Sing 10 songs. Now, her album next to Beyonce's.

Beyonce has been running in heels and singing on trad meals all shit for 25 years to get this spot on Spotify or whatever. Nick, what if I'm better than I. No, no, but that's what you're saying. You got to prove it multiple times like she had to prove it. Like, I can say, yeah, I'm better than T. Right? But you got to prove it in the eighth grade, make your eighth grade team.

You got to make your varsy. You got to go to school, red shirt. Yeah, you got to go through the steps to be able to say, because you got to think, this 450 million is being split up between 750,000 artists. I understand.

You can't pay Kevin Durant 20 million a year if it's 3,000 niggas on the bench like when we're getting in the game. The only reason you can I'm playing that much because it's only 350 of y'all. So what about the Riala Russellton? Uh-huh. What about the Routle of Russell to?

Yeah, I mean, I would call that like he playing in China. God, nigga, Stefan Marlberry. He's in China playing in China. He getting paid. I mean, but you're still in it. You still getting paid, but you ain't in the NBA. You know what I mean? You ain't on Sony Universal Capital Interscope.

Them to fold. If you ain't on them, nice dribbling hot sauce I'm just saying he had to run a shoe and shoot you're in a shirt lovely

nigger LeBrog playing the heat the night nigger into the game I love I'm just saying boy heaven said man

get well soon to the Russell man I'm just telling you all the God love I want to talk about your freestyles, man. You go to radio stations, man, and you murder shit. It's everywhere.

Yeah. And you shut shit down. Like, every time you do a freestyle, I'll get on Instagram or wherever I go, and it automatically pop up. Shout to my boy, Brandon Beasley. Every time you do a freestyle, he posted immediately.

Appreciate that. Appreciate that. They'd be unbelievable every time, bro. Like, do you go there and like, y'all, I'm about to fuck the internet up real quick? Yeah, so before I, like, I mean, I do, like, I write. for like practice and rituals.

So it's almost like, it's like a pickup game. You know what I mean? I like to refer to this like, it's like me going to a, you know what I mean, a little pickup game in the gym over the summertime and drop it 70. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I'm the artist. I'm a pro-em-s-s shouting. I'm pro-em-shoutly, you know what I'm. I'm Drew Lee shouting. So, working on your game. You know what I mean? So that's just me just, little bars that didn't make my eye

I'd be like, you know what? I'm going to write a couple warm-up raps, and then I just, you know, I can remember them fast because the way I write them, and I just, you know, remember. And then when people want something, I can just... That shit. You know, I'm saying?

L'all. I want to ask, what's your favorite body of work or some of your favorite body is working? I know that's a lot to ask for me. I always say, for me the first time I heard you, shot to my boy West, he put me on to the first time Ivy League drop. And the first time I heard that shit with Mike Will.

I was like, ah, this nigga Cole, rap like this on the mic will. Yeah. Do you still go back in that catalog? I mean, I don't. You know what's so crazy about that time? Shout out to live mixtapes and that pill. Come on, man.

Me, I would say me, Kendrick, Currency, Wiz, crit, shine. Blog era, baby. The whole blog era. We invented streaming. Lo. What it was was,

we wasn't street pop rap to the labels. So we was all. on major labels, they wouldn't just put us out because they focusing on their A-list acts. So what we did was, okay, we're gonna go to Datpiff. We're gonna go to live mixtape and let them put it on their site and you can stream it from their site.

Yeah, SpinRilla. Yeah, Spinrilla, you know what I mean? So we started getting so much notoriety on them sites. Apple Music and Spotify and title came up with streaming. And the record labels came up with streaming because they seen that they did. major artists was losing steam to the artists that they

had on the shelf. So that's how the blog era kind of came up and... You said y'all was the first? Yeah, we... I'm just saying, we weren't no streaming before that Piff and Live mixtapes was spent real... I just was thinking about Soldier Boy. He don't start. He was the first.

He was the first. No, but I mean, he got discovered, but I don't feel like he put out projects, like multiple projects. He just had that one song that caught fire. and then, you know what I'm saying? I can't wait. I can't wait the Soldier Boy scene.

He went major. He got major record deals. He didn't immediately. Yeah, he did. He got a major record. Yeah, he did. Soldier Boy is the first streamer in the world. Okay, we'll take that.

We'll take that. We'll take that. You know what I'm saying? First do everything. The Soldier Boy put that song out, and he was 50 cents. He wasn't even Soldier Boy when he did that. Oh, yeah.

If you get on any of them size, boy, was whatever song you were. Yeah. He was cranked that when you played it. Yeah. He's the first catfish. He's the first catfish.

Yeah. Oh, God. How did you do? He cranked that plate on everything. Yeah, so that was that was. Yeah, that was, that was genius. Oh, God. I ain't going to say that.

That's one thing I can say. That was genius. But be here, remember them time period? Like, especially when Meek was dropping a dream change of change, bro, they was everywhere but those major places. And they was prashing sites. Yeah, Mead was like, yeah,

he was on the pressure cover with me. Yeah. Yeah. Double X-L. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I mean. We all was, that's what brought screaming to the forefront.

I think Drake kind of was the first major artist that took it serious, though. Like, I think Apple gave him a deal. Yeah. And then he was the first to kind of, you know, take a tag at any, right? Yeah. I'm not fucking with title. Yeah. Yeah.

You got like a certain thing you got to have in the studio. I used to, but now I can just go in there and just, yeah. It used to be, you know, I mean, I do, like, flowers and candles and shit like that. Unorthodox shit, Palisanto and just, you know. You work with younger artists now? Yeah. Say that again, candles? Popasantone.

That's why Kniemple start missing all those shots because the coach, he's playing Kniemple without Lamello. He's sitting Lamello and leave Kinepo out there. Kinepple can't get no shot off. He can't get to run no offense. You need Lanzo out there to, ooh. Yeah, for sure. Hey, I ain't mad.

all them players that's in the league when they play right now, we were whipping them by 40. And they all on the same squad. You got a big win. It's all five stars. We're doing them by four. 40.

Why we can't do them by 49? What changed in three years that? Y'all, you. Y'all, you have Big O, too, though, from the Hawks. Oh, Big O. Give us Big O. We'll trade for Big O. Man, you're going to get beat by 60.

Oh. You want Lamello and Zion in the same locker. Are we talking about But that fucking Lanzo there. Hey, no, we ain't doing that tonight. She got to stay at the room.

We're going up to Milwaukee. We're going to stay in Milwaukee. She's going to stay in Chicago. You're right. You're right. See, they ain't got no big bro on the squad. O.Gs on the Hornets. Yeah, I'm not what I'm saying.

This last thing I want to say about the coach, this last thing I want to say about the coach, bro. I'll just watch Tyree Maxie play 76 minutes the other night. this nigga still got Lamello on his team on minutes restrictions Hey bro, don't take him out the game If we lose, we go in fishing

Yeah, that's true though I'll fuck with that I 100% agree with that Yeah He's on the sideline with his all-folded Trying to do his little one-two Like, niggins let us play Yeah, he should have

He fucked it up with this He pissed it up, bro The only one I know who liked the hornets like that. I love the horn, bro. I'm a ball fan to the depth, bro. My boys need to be on the same. Ron messed up my Laker run, but we ain't going to get into that. How, bro, miss up the Lager Run?

Bro, we had Lanzo, Randall, B.I, B.I, what's my, Caruso. We out here throwing Lone. You're not taking a lot. in account that them niggas got injured and shit, bro. Nah, bro. We were young, bro.

We was only 21. The kids was young and hurt, bro. No, no, we... Cal Cusmo was the only really nigga that stayed healthy on the spots. He was good, what you mean? Be out your heart. Not, I love J-R.

But I'm telling me y'all, them niggas weren't durable, bro. Brian, I can't even want a chip, though. Yeah. We got you with a chip, I'm saying? Hey, hold on, hold on. We don't, we don't count that one. That's the aster one.

Oh, no. That's like the lockout chip. They don't count. I mean, it count, but it's like. You're not under the same sins, though. No, it's like, no, it's like, if I'm a 400 runner and you a 100 runner, right, and they make you run the 400, but you get to stop at, we got to stop at the 200 and let you get your breath and recuperate, then we run the next 200.

You might be. That's true, but in the basketball game, ain't none of that. No, I'm saying. No, I'm saying. We play a fool's 82. When you took a break, that helped the veteran. player. That didn't help the young

niggas who got, who need rhythm, who got to stay in the, in the thick and shit. There we got, oh, man, that's a real point. Take shit,

we can't get no pussy. Like, we got some part of, we got to eat long johns, silver that is we're laying. It's like, they won't let her bring no bitches in. It's like, can't have no place.

It's like, piss in the cup. We can't smoke no dope. It's like, man, we got it, man. You got it, they're going to,

they're going to, they're going to try to see their lady, man. Brian, Brian kept L.A. alive, bro. Y'all was mid as fuck. Don't do that. If you had kept that team for me. Don't do that.

Oh, God, y'all was the New Orleans Pelicans, Nick. Are you seen? Well, y'all didn't trade half some niggins together. That was the New Orleans Pelt? No, no, no, no. You know. You let Josh Hart go. Would have been O KC.

Oh, hell, no. We wouldn't have been okay. If we wouldn't have lost for three years. Who would have a shit? If we wouldn't have lost for two to three years, we would have what? Three top five picks. Who would say? I'm just sitting there.

That's what we would end up having. We would have a lot of young pieces, a lot of top five picks because we would have been in the bottom. Yada, I don't know what draft, what pick, y'all would have never had a shake hooker on the Lakers. Man, Shane is that something like him? What's doing? What are you doing out of this?

You're foreigners. Last thing. Last thing. I grew up in the neighborhood, bro. We played basketball every day. day. Yeah. You're trying to fail

twice a year. You know, you got the scars on it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You never fail that much. Yeah.

Yonke is they? Yeah, Iris and I was saying to be letting me for the tour. Yeah, I've seen Dwayfield all the time. No, no.

It's a whole 20 minutes to do it. He's trying to punch it on the knee. Dway tried to have failed. He's trying to punch it on the knee.

He ain't falling because he. He had a screenegisis. Slime on the whistle. That's why I only watch highlights on YouTube. I can't watch the game, bro. You don't support Lucas, like to finish. That's all you get a whole game.

You need it. This thing, you need to be falling. I can't do the foreigners in the league. I apologize. I won another championship, bro. He got a conversation. It's time for some more comfortable conversations. He is the response.

He's thinking best. Because he's getting a hip-be-the-th-th-pg of all the time. The who? The third best. Who are the first two? Wardell. Magic. And it's going to be him and Ozzy and Thomas time.

That third spot. What is your talking about? Oh, man. Because I was in one. He got one final's MVP. He did go back as well. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

Show love. Yeah. Yeah. And that Lakers team would have never had no nigga like that. I promise you, bro. I think I ownership. The way you thinking, okay, see, whooping shit. Lonzo would have locked him up, bro.

You know what's crazy? Y'all shouldn't even have Lanzo. Y'all should have. had Deere Fox. Yes. Y'all should have had Jason Tatum. You're, Jason Tatum. Yeah, y'all should have took Jason Tatum.

Man, in high school, we blew Fox and Tatum out. In college, we blew Fox and Tatum out. What happened we, what happened with you, UCLA against Contestals? Man, we're playing with. Don't do that, so. Ain't nobody from his squad make the lead. Can't leave. T.J. Lee, Pacell Legend.

Hey, please. We beat this nigga All them niggins is all-American McDonald. We think he's a big man Bring your whole American to the court I'm gonna beat you with the white one. You bullshit.

Ain't no way and fuck you think Lanzo is fucking with you're on the table. It ain't even close. Y'all, no, no. No, no. What it is is there's no team that are letting them play their style of ball, bro.

We four court pressing. Get me, them three. get me... Who are your three again, my father? My ball brothers. Okay. Get me a Zion who can play my Dremont Green Spine. I need a power four who can pass.

That's why I tell Bridges. I love Bridges, but Bridges don't know how to do the dribble handoff. He don't know how to run the action off the Dreyman. That's why we need to trade for Dreyman. That's on the Lolo. Because Steph coming in two years when he is uncle, he got a retired crew. He got a guy. But we need to go get a Dreyman who can play that four.

who know how to pass, just like Eli Scott did. And Chino his, he was the pole man, Dremont. Why he knows these people? No. I'm, nigga, you tapped in. That's what I'm trying. Now, you're talking a bunch of bullshit, but you tapped in. And give me some, like, what's my boy from Phoenix?

Dylan, what's the life game? Give me some Dylan Brooks. I need seven other Dylan Brooks and play basketball. So what team are y'all beating, though? No. Put our team a league. Put them niggas out east on the east side. On the east.

Give me, man, don't make the playoffs. Man, put me on any, but you know who played like us? That's why they went on this 20,

this last part of the year. Mm-hmm. We went on the run. Halliburg and them did it last year. They kind of tried to play our game. See, it's going to come into our game, but it's going to be too late.

They were pressing and stuff. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to. But I'm talking about all game. We're pressing all game. They don't get you. You know what's going to happen to free agency. They're going to say,

get me off this team. They can play like in college. No, no, we're going to be forcing up the, what is it called of? We're going to be crying. Sahai. If you think an NBA team is going to press for 48 minutes, Nick of that's crazy. Say, what are you going to do?

Coach. They're doing it off the backboard off down at this, bro. Tell me what I love. You got to think is in a 2-1. Brow, I'm trying to tell you, bro. Now, I said you got to get certain players who, we need some G-lead, nigg. Y'all, you just talking about rap.

You were just talking about rap. Niggins were on the majors. But the G-League is still in the NBA. They like the niggins that's on the shelf at a major label. They're like still trying to get their album together. Lable on the head. Vocal coaches. No, that's the niggas that don't play.

That's the 13th man. All right, bro. I'm just telling you what God love. We get our ball. We get to play our ball. We just put Lamello and Lanzo together. I promise you, bro. They're going to run through this.

Do it next year. I promise you. If Lanzo was healthy, I swear to God I'm wrong. Lanzo is healthy. Lamello. He said he's healthy. Nah, bro, it's just this. Lanzo, brother, is the old point guard.

See, the new point guard want to do this. All they want us do is score. You know, the chain, harm, motherfucker. My boy, Lanzo is here, here, here. Here he. What I'm saying? Here he, here he, and then on the, on the deepest end, I'm locking down. I'm locked down.

Now, Sah, we had a conversation on the morning show. What's up? Who would you rather have between Lanzo Ball and Alex Caruso? Yes. Lanzo Ball. Who he picked? Caruso. Man, I'm going Lanzo Ball.

Pick him or Fud. Stampion. Two-down. I mean, yeah, he's a tag alone. He's a tag alone, bro. Okay, bro. Wait, wait. I got a feel.

Let me, somebody, because you know, my boy already got his bag. Yeah. La Mello. Yeah, yeah. The next one is we're doing the yonness, so we ain't playing. Oh, we're getting, we're getting my brothers. Yeah, you got to bring my whole family, my auntie, uncle, everybody got to be on the squad, oh, we ain't playing playing.

Now, Charles Lee Bishop in the middle of season, you feel like he got that type of leverage now. He can make them calls? It might not even be with Charlotte. Keep playing with us. We ain't going to be playing with y'all. You're going to be in Sacramento. We're going to be in Sacramento, bro.

We're going to be, who another team need a Brooklyn net? Sacramento. I don't wish the Brooklyn Nets on nobody. Man, if you give them to the ball boys, we, we, they're going to be in the chip. You need a star. You need a star. Put in the thought that with Michael Porter. Look at the time that was Michael Porter, Lamello and Lanzo.

Okay. And see if we don't run the league, man. Listen to your team. He beat Michael Porter. This is a high school. Oh, God. We beat Bam We beat what's my other

nigga on the neck Shout to my nigga Deonté Vaughn Knuckles He beat Greg Oden in high school Who? Dude, we know what Knuckles Yeah

Yonte Vaugh What Greg O'Don was He was He was better than every mom bro Who? Greg Oudy Fuck is you talking

He's smoking wet dope What Greg But he was just The first tall nigga. No, no. No, no.

He went to the Nadi Chit with the left. That's the old. Number one pick, throw over Kevin Durant. Injuries got him. That's why I was about to get to him. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but I'm just saying a big man. That's a generational talent.

A big man don't dominate Lili. But when you get to the big league, he dominated college. He played against Al Forford. Joaquin Noah. With the last. That's a fact Florida thing. Oh, uh, you. One of the best post defenders ever.

Defender, yeah, but you ain't making me work on the office. I ain't defending nothing. I'm just chilling the plate when you're on offense. You're not watching no bad. No, you got to play the best one. This is why my top five is Kobe, Jordan, Steph, Tim Duncan, LeBron. In that order?

In that order. What the fuck? In that order. What's a horrible order? Hold on. Hold on. Why don't fuck LeBron to fit? The brinked.

Because all my... He's barely made it. No, no. That's top five. But I'm saying you... You see it. Because everybody else who don't grown. What the fuck that mean?

I won my chips with the team I was drafted with. LeBron did too. Yeah, he won't... That's like a... No. I'm back, bro. Don't do that, bro. Don't do that.

I divorced. I made it right. I made it right. No, that ain't his team no more. We fixed it. No, no, no. No, no, no. Worked it out.

No, no. Went to the lady. And we like that year. No, no, no, no. Kobe wanted with the team he was drafted to. Yeah. Jordan, wanted with the team he was drafted to. Steph, wanted with the team he was drafted to.

Tim Duncan, warning with the team he was drafted. That's not. No. Are you saying, is the best player? Or what are you doing that? The best players. From championship team? Just because they won.

one wing finagle in the league to get it. We ain't finna, call my boy come play with me. I'll fuck with the tape. You're not doing that, bro. I'm mad. What you mean? They wouldn't trade for people for brothers. No, no, no, no.

Nobody want to go to Cleveland, bro. And I don't know what Eric Snow, brother? No, no, no. When Pal Gasol came to the Lakers, the shift of the whole organization. Stop. The Lakers was bad before Patsford Day. Oh, that's what happens when you stay on the same team your whole career.

You got to reload and unload and reload and unload. That's what you got to do. But they got the best. They wouldn't go get his best friend. And it changed. Pal Casas called his best friend. And he changed the game. So you got to keep it real.

Take your class. Be in. They got who they got for real. Your favorite player. Memorial. Hello. The difference maker. Man, listen, man.

man of the year. Go-pkinsed. Nika? What you're talking about? You ain't never seen that film like that. Oh, because Paul was not that, bro. Yeah. Oh, he had a nice finesse game.

He had a nice finesse game. But he had it because Kobe was teaching him about spots. He was teaching him how to be a winner. He wouldn't have been that without Kobe. He would have been stuck in Memphis. Nobody was a- He was the most important player after Kobe. We was going to get somebody on Kobe.

I'm Kobe. Andrew Binal. You had to get somebody that fit Kobe's program. Everybody couldn't play with Kobe. Okay, I found one that could play with me. Right. But I'm still, I didn't go play with him. He came to play with me.

But I'm saying you discredited in the pieces around, niggas. No, I'm not saying they all NBA players. No, fuck all that. I'm saying, pal was cool. Powell was an all-star deservingly, bro. Yeah, he was. Pal used to cook niggas, bro. I'm like how Chris Box was important to that motherfucking Miami Heat team.

Listen, bro. This is important as Powell Casas was to their Laker team. You said how who was important? Chris Bosch. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I'll take that. Yeah, I'll take that. Chris Bosch was like top 15 player when he went to that team.

He was. Power Gaside was not no top 15 player. Oh, no, yeah, yeah. He was, brother. Chris Bosch was a nine-time All-Star. Yeah, he was cool. No, he was called. I'm just telling you the same type of impact that they had on the team.

But I'm just saying I come from Colby. You act like Pal Gasol was. I'm not saying he was garbage. No, you're not saying it's garbage. You're saying like he was super mid. Then when Kobe got him, he was. I mean, he was a B minus. Coles took him eight minus.

He was after 20 in Memphis. In the air of power forwards. He was like Kevin Love. Before Kevin Love. Okay, I'm glad you said that. Kevin Love was killing before he went to the camera. Yeah, I mean. Sure.

That's crazy. He kept a love still league, too. Niggas had a sacrifice day numbers to play with these star players, bro, and you're taking away from them. I'm trying to tell you. He got better. In Memphis. That's because he,

don't know what I'm saying, but you got more shots in Memphis. You're the man. Kobe got you better shots and more efficient shots because everybody's doubling me. He's reading the numbers, bro. Everybody's doubling me. How Kobe?

He went over there and did the same thing. He didn't do it. Kobe didn't do nothing. No, he was a little. He said he got it more efficiently. Yeah, it probably was easier. Kobe was over there. He took more shots when he was in Memphis because he was the man.

That was what I'm trying to tell me. He was the man. All right, we got to move on from this subject. Let us know, y'all, my apologies for sure. All right, rookie at a year. Obviously, you're a hornist fan. Connoble. He got to share it.

No, we got to share it. We're not sharing it. We're not sharing it. Be here. That's, he's a good at the year. No. I love Sawadale. Nah, but, man, his usage rate too high.

I got 40-90. Y'all be having a lot of usage rate players and be acting like they really know. Hobie had a high usage rate. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He had a high shooting rate. That's the, no. No. No, no, no.

LeBron had a high leuces rate. Because he... Restbrook had a high usage break. They dominate the ball, but they average 10 or 6, 11 or 6. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Kobe job, my guy was to put the ball in the bucket. Derek Fisher's job is to bring it up the court.

You want to know why Derek Fisher always hit game winning shots? Because he has sweat equity. You know what sweat equity is? It means you get to touch the ball throughout the game. That's true. You get what I'm saying? See, it's like LeBron or Westwood, right? I'm just, I put LeBron at five is because if I'm on your team and I get paid 20

million a year to get 10 rebounds and now I play with you on to get six because you come to snatch them off the ball. board every time trying to get my fucking family paid. I can't be the point guard. Williams can't be, my players can't develop because you do everything. So people say, you mad at them because they did? No, I'm saying when people say LeBron didn't play with nobody, it's like, no, you wouldn't let nobody develop because you do everything.

You shoot the ball. You pass the ball. You rebound. You're defense. It's like, damn, nigger, what we like? Man, we might. What a nigga? Play by yourself.

So would you say he's a better player? Uh-huh. Would you say he's an overall better player? I would say he wanted to be a better player. He wanted to be an overall better player. But most niggas want to play with they, when you want to win, we want you to do your job,

Kobe do my job, Derek Fish, you do your job, or he do your job. It's like... Big shot. Derek Fisher average like three assists. No, no, no, no, he didn't. Don't do that.

He did. He wasn't a high assist guy. I mean, I'm not saying... He has probably... The worst He got to leave five average He got to leave five

His sister's, and we And we played the triangle So it was a lot of hockey And we did In the triangle It's a lot of hockey It's a lot of hockey

See what I'm saying? There's a lot of isolation That's why I think Niggas should get a half of assists For screen Oh Two K-s-Sys Yeah, I feel like

How many of a scit in a nigga's In a nigga's scope You should get a half of assists Mm Yeah, about five Keep him with the round-ups. What are you for his career? Oh.

Yeah, can we run? I told him. He didn't get the fuck right. He's a star point guard. Oh, my mom, I'm not going to pass. Oh, my mom, time out. Time out. Now, time out.

No, no, no, no. Let me take it. Don't do that. Don't do that. They skewed. They skewed. Now, you know. Now, you know the assist back when Kobe in the play, you had to pass it.

You had to pass it. No. No, I looked at John's talking stats. No. You didn't have to run it down. No, I'm talking. We found out of them a lot. Now, niggas get a sit.

You're going to hit the nigga with the boop-woo. Hit the nigga double-packed screen. Fane away. These things are getting that sit. There was a lot of isolation. Kobe and don't get, they just, he just brought the ball up, threw it to Kobe, and cut to the corner. I know it was, but I feel like when you're playing in the triangle,

it's a lot of hockey assists. So it's like you got to read the defense is different. But, yeah. I just feel like. I just feel like. I just feel like he. I'm just saying he was involved in the game. Sweat equity.

You know what I'm just? Yeah, he definitely got to bring the ball at the courts. Yeah, you got to have that sweat equity, bro, because you get the ball off the rim like J.R. And run the wrong way. Because you ain't got the ball. Man, this niggas been dunking on, niggas, 360. Now I get the ball off the rim.

I'm running the wrong way. I'm like, where the holes at the night? You get a check down. You can't check the out the game. He ain't got the. no sweat equity. You know what I'm saying. I got a fuck with that.

I got to fuck with that. I'll fuck with that. Hey, man. I'm just, I do this sports shit, man. I do this. For sure.

I think bra. Yeah, I fuck with that. People think I'd be disrespecting them. Can I say he five? No, that's no fine, that's not far.

That's not far. We didn't seem bride. No what I'm saying? A oops of his son in the playoffs. Yeah. He got to be top of real. that alone. He made his own teammate. Bro, he's 41, bro, the best player on.

You know, Luke Canard played on LeBron's A-U-T team. Yeah. No, no, what I will say, LeBron is the greatest, I feel like he is the greatest and the best athlete to ever live, though. I will say that. Like, if you had to tell every athlete to swim, play golf, football, baseball, he going to average out the best. Yeah.

Just off a Z. He's going to do that. But basketball, he's number five. I can get high top of all for you. You know why I focus on your list, though? Because you got reasons. Yeah. And he makes you think about it a little bit.

I appreciate your shit. My last one, before I want to talk y'all to death about Kobe, rest and peace. Kobe is the best out of all of them. And I'm going to tell you why. When Jordan came in the lead, niggles was playing the congos when they dribble. Joy was the first niggins hit a nigger with this hill that motherfucker, you know what I mean? That cuff on it, right?

Now, the dream team go all the way around the world. Eric Kidd want to be like Mike. Want to be like Mike. Kobe beat every nigga want to be like mine. Tracea McGreg. Vince Carter's, your Penny Hardaway. I'm talking about your six, five, that six, eight, two guards.

Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones. Joy was playing like John Stars, Hornetson, Dumars. These niggas 6-1, 6-2. Joy and 6-6-6-6.

Kobe beat all the niggas that wanted to be like Mike and they were still 6-6-6-6-7. Kobe gave him a nigga 40s. That's a good point. All right, man. What you think, LeBron did? I was about to say what you think,

LeBron playing out of position. He was brought up to this thing. Bro, the power forward. Bro, the power forward is the least athletic player on the tip. Everybody know that. LeBron the reason niggas got a switch. Bronson switches. Bro.

Brons fall forward, bro. No, he's a power forward. If you lined up everybody, if we went to the street and played street basketball, Lebron would be our power for. He then brought Horace Grant out to the top of the team To the three-point line And driving the ball on him Horse ain't got no fee for them.

Yeah, you got the five all the way in the corner. Like when you see George Duncan on niggas, it used to be male-purpet. Matam bowl. They used to sell one niggins, sell one niggins. LaBorn don't need, niggas, 6, 6, 6, 3. It's feet under the basket like, man. You don't even sell some foot.

He ain't go to a ducky. Punched on that nigga. Yeah, and I got what Tim Duggins said. You can get on YouTube right now. The Dukk is. I got five rings, though. But you switch. Yeah, that's a dirty.

We're going to let you punch. That's the point. We're going to let you get a couple of. But we're going to win this chip, though. So I'm not a grown players. Niggas, we drafted. We ain't trade for these niggas. We developed these niggas.

You didn't develop Paul. Gasol. No, I'm saying. You developed Andrew Binole. We developed Genoblee. We didn't develop Parker. That's it. Rachel Parker.

We developed Bynle. You didn't develop Kauai. Yeah, Kauai was drafted by the Spirri. But I ain't going to say that he did. They don't. They did. They definitely did. That's the team squad.

All developed. Oh, they got Ket and Grant. That's a hellful blessing. Yeah. But they didn't win without Katie. Let me tell you. Let me tell you so. Clay, Steph,

Okay, Steph was a lottery Pick. Clay was a lottery. Clay was what? Lottery? No, Clay was a lottery. He was Clay? 10, 8, 11. Yeah, he was high. You sure? Yeah, I swear. He was a lottery.

Fat check that, bro. Clay Thompson was a lottery. Yeah, Clay was lottery. Yeah, he was lottery. Drey Mon. What was Draymond? What was Draymond? Dekin Rounder. Yeah.

No one saying? We won't say it too because we went the church together, bro. He's 11 P. He'll take him. He'll take him. But LeBron, he got Hall of Famers on the court. Hey, all got Hall of Famers. No, no, I'm talking to my Hall of Famers before you met him, LeBron.

Chris Bosch was on the Hall of Fame trajectory. D. Wade, Hall of Fame trajectory. Yeah. A.D., Hall of Fame trajectory. Marie Hall of Fame trajectory. Go PG. Kevin Love, Hall of Fame trajectory. What about when Brian took that 017?

same like like Iverson in the end. Oh, you're on 07. Remember? Yeah, I mean. I renewable. I mean, you know. Very huge.

Listen. Outside of the top three teams in the east, outside of the top three teams in the east, everybody under 500. No. For team, straight, everybody under 500. Not true.

39. And I don't need the folk with the east side. In my line, T's my lady. You're a lot. 25 and 90 in the 7th scene. No playing. He's doing for real, bro.

No play. Bro, I'm just saying with God love. But he's supposed to be bad, but I got to see how you feel about some of these things, but all right, who you got winning the chip this year? Who's taking it? Okay. Who I won't or who I got? Both.
