They was by the door.
Those are the only cool grades I really like.
For real?
Yeah, like I got the fours and threes, but I actually like those.
I like the 11s, though.
They look fire until you wear them.
It's just like the first time you wear them,
they dimmer like white forces.

You cannot clean gray suede at all.

And Mike came in here smelling like roast.
Hey, let's talk about it.
We came in, you know what I'm saying?
We wanted to get people what they wanted.
And we thought Mike had ordered breakfast for the gang
the whole time this nigga was being behind today.
Yeah, I was like, what the fuck?
This nigga smell like a Nigerian bathroom.
Fuck going home, man.
Does that come with or without a toilet?
Y'all called a last minute pod
I was in the middle of cooking
As y'all called me
So
Shout out to all my Nigerians
For sure
Somebody told me I had a greater hair like that
The other day, I was pissed
Damn
That's crazy
If I fucking

Excuse me? If I fucking send me some Excuse me
That motherfucker sent me some
Dude motherfucker
Shampoo and conditioner
Wait somebody sent you a link
And that's crazy
They sent it to
They gave it to me
Like
Nigga you got Nigerian here
Here
We just fuck with y'all
Man we love all of Nigeria
I'm a real Afro B king
With that nigga Mike
Out of pocket today
I did my ancestry though
but I was like
what's your percentage
it was like 68
or some shit
like damn
so I was like
really Nigeria
or some real shit
they really need to tap in
let me play on y'all team
other than that
what's up
damn now you join me
yeah
hell nah
68% is hotter than a bitch
I know
I was like damn
you didn't stand a chance
for the address.
I'm a real African.
You were supposed to work there.
They want me on Lafayette Road.
I work at the Meijer.
They already hate Americans.
Let's stop, man.
Oh, okay.
Hey, man.
Friday was a crazy ass day.
We had great basketball.
NCAA tournament going crazy.
Go Cats.
Go the fuck home.
Where y'all belong.
Hey, man.
The future album drop.
Niggas was just excited for a future album.
We didn't know we was about to get all this, bro.
We didn't know we was about to get all this.
Before we even get to that,
did y'all fuck with the album?
I do.
I fuck.
Hey.
Metro!
Hey,
Metro production
is crazy
on every single song.
You don't even gotta listen
to what Future's talking about.
In the whip,
that bitch slaps.
But the first song
I heard was like that.
And I was like,
damn,
Kendrick Lamar really
don't give a fuck
about these niggas.
And I love it.
The first thing I thought
it was like,
who's side is B.H. and all?
Yeah,
you know,
I'm Future Hendrix to the death.
But I just feel like Kendrick killed shit.
Don't get it fucked up.
He did, but I just think like,
he can't, like my niggas was saying in our family chat,
like he can't come out, drop some shit,
and then be on the shit he be on on his regular album.
Like, Laces with that pause
and then come out with a good kid
Mad City type album.
No, he ain't on that.
Yeah, but you are though.
You are though. You coming out talking shit,
you hopped on a crazy beat.
You went nuts.
We never thought we would hear Kyrsten Maughan on a fucking Metro Boomerang.
Yeah, like, cause I'm like, you can't
say really you the best
and you ain't
coming out like them.
But I can say I'm the best
because I know
if I say something about y'all,
y'all ain't gonna say nothing back.
They would.
I'm saying I'm the best
because I know y'all
can't rap better than me.
So Kendrick raps
better than J. Cole.
Like bars?
He don't make better music
than J. Cole.
Nah, he,
I like J. Cole music better,
but if you just say rap, rapping, Kendrick Lamar probably rap music than J. Cole. I like J. Cole music better, but if you just say rap,
Kendrick Lamar probably rap better than
J. Cole. Like a battle rap?
On the type of time he on now,
I think either one of them motherfuckers
can come back.
I think Cole can for sure.
Anytime Kendrick do a battle rap,
he like kill everybody.
Nobody ever respond
Like
What was the other song
He went crazy on
Control
Yeah like nobody ever say
Hey shout out to my nigga
Big K.R.I.P.
But he just
He did
He just clocked out of Amazon
Nah K.R.I.P. still going
Just scoff my nigga man
Fuck with Big K.R.I.P.
K.R.I.P. still going bro
Matter of fact I'm about to listen
Big K.R.I.P. when they hear K.R.I.P. got slaps.I.T. still going bro Matter of fact I'm about to listen to Big K.R.I.T. When they hear
K.R.I.T. got slaps
Nah I can't
I just think Kendrick
Gotta give us a
Give us an album bro
Give us an album
But also
I agree to that point
But my counter to that is
I can't get mad at him
If he say that to these niggas
And they don't write back at him
Alright then
I'm going back to do my RC shit
Cause y'all clearly don't want smoke
So
I gave y'all a chance
Niggas got
Niggas got a certain time to respond
But it ain't respected They on the clock right now It's on the clock They on the clock Damn Y'all a chance So niggas got Niggas got a certain time To respond But it ain't respected
They on the clock right now
No it's on the clock
They on the clock
Damn
Y'all doing right bro
Yeah bro
They on the clock
I don't care if you on tour bro
I don't care
And y'all on tour together
Cole ain't on the tour no more
Nah he's definitely on tour
Cause he prepared for his tour
He done now
Are y'all
Wayne is supposed to be
Doing his spot dates
And then Dirk is too
That tour is kind of weird too
That people don't talk about That wasn't really a full tour J. Cole was supposed to be doing his spot dates, and then Dirk is, too. That tour's kind of weird, too, that people don't talk about.
That wasn't really a full tour.
J. Cole was supposed to do a majority of that tour,
and he's done, like, every couple of them bitches.
But he got Dreamville Fest next week, so.
Yeah.
Damn, that's his next week?
I was supposed to go.
I thought he was going to drop his album before, too.
I really thought that Cole was going to drop an album before.
Because that little snippet
that he's been dropping,
he's been talking shit.
So I'm sure nigga saw that.
He probably had to go
back to the last.
Oh, we need one more song.
This nigga got me fucked up.
See, he going to respond.
How do y'all rank them though?
Them three?
Ooh.
As we just saying rapping
or you saying like artists?
I mean, you know,
everybody's like Drake,
The Charts,
all that shit. I'm just saying
like, rapper.
Is Drake last on that list?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
Now, I think the one thing that people don't like acknowledging
is that, and I assume the Joe Budden
podcast broke it down like the perfect way I've
ever thought it and then said it out loud.
Drake being the biggest star is something
that people have to respect because being a star
is something that
actually takes time
and energy.
It is a talent.
As much as people
don't want to acknowledge it,
like LeBron being a star
is a fucking talent.
You can't knock that.
You have to do what it takes
to be on that pedestal.
I know sometimes it's corny,
sometimes it's cliche
and we don't like it,
but it does take
an amount of talent
to be able to do that.
Everybody don't have that shit.
But when it comes to them three rapping, yeah, Drake is last.
For sure.
I always say, because Drake's shit, when he did that to Meek Mill,
was, like, legendary.
Yeah, bro.
I don't know if either one of them got some shit like that.
Because that shit was being played in the club.
But he can't do that to them.
He can't.
It's different bars and different levels.
He can't do that.
He can't do that to Kendrick. He didn't do his push with T. Yeah, you can't do that to them. He can't. It's different bars and different levels. He can't do that. He can't do that to Kendrick.
He didn't know
it was Pusha T.
Yeah,
you can't do that.
Nah.
He can't do that.
You know what I'm interested about?
Because I feel like
regardless of if Drake
responds back to Kendrick,
he got to respond
back to Future.
And that's one thing
that people keep missing
in this whole situation.
They threw him a crazy lob
to go at him on that.
Yeah. So it's about a girl. to go at him on that. Yeah.
So it's about a girl.
It's always about money or a girl.
So who y'all think is out of pocket?
Who y'all think started being petty?
On the first song, Future, you could kind of hear him talking about it.
Like, he say, like, something about a friend.
No, yeah.
It's all over you.
I'm just saying, who y'all think started being petty first
between Future and Drake
come on man
who you think was tripping off
cause both of them
probably tended
it was probably Drake bro
if history
y'all gonna give it to Drake
if history shows
it's probably
Future didn't scrape
one of mine
you know what I mean
it took her up top
so
one of my
you know
my previous relationships
before I was
you know what I'm relationships before I was,
you know what I'm saying?
So I know how you want it. Shout out to Gabe.
Just saying.
It happens.
We don't trust you.
We don't.
It happens.
So I know he a shooter.
Oh, he's Steph Curry.
Drake.
Drake is a sniper though,
y'all.
That's what I'm saying.
But he out the trunk with it
more like
Future
Future
he
you know
he
broad daylight
nah for sure
no man
Drake is known for dirty macking
like we don't have to act like
he's known for dirty macking
yeah
but I
I feel like that Metro
and Drake situation
was kind of
probably the biggest issue with that.
And Future seen both sides of both ends of what happened.
So I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to that Drake-Metro beef.
Because they was going at it for a little minute.
That little shit online and stuff.
And we didn't know what it was about.
But also, we hadn't seen Future and Drake do songs.
And Drake been making music.
Shout out my nigga 21 Savage, too, man.
He in the middle of all this dumb shit.
I hate that. I think he took advantage of it. He in the middle of all this dumb shit. I hate that.
I think he took advantage of it.
He really got to pick us up.
No, he don't.
He took advantage of a great opportunity.
Facts.
Oh, y'all niggas not getting along?
You going to do this album with me, nigga?
Oh, cool.
Come on.
I ain't tripping.
Run it up.
I ain't got shit to do with this.
Metro my nigga anyway.
Yeah, facts.
I would just love to see the core.
I hate messy shit, but I always want to know, like, who really got shit cracking?
Like, this bitch ass nigga
hit my bitch?
Crazy.
That's funny.
But Pillow talking there,
if y'all hitting the same chick,
it's crazy.
Especially niggas of that type of statue.
It's going to get said.
Hitting the same chick
when you...
Them two?
It's crazy to me.
But I just think it's like...
She got to feel great. Nah, for sure. But I just think it's like She gotta feel
Great
Nah for sure
But I'm saying
On the entertainment side
I think
I think they only have
A select few
For real bro
It's only certain girls
That get in the clubs
And around
Oh
They just don't have access
To
You ever been on Instagram
I know that bro
But it's like
When that girl
Say Drake
Bring that girl to the party
In future there Whoever there It's a fat party Motherfucker like She might be the hardest thing In there I know that, bro, but it's like, when that girl, say Drake bring that girl to the party.
In future there, whoever there, it's a fat party motherfucker.
Like, she might be the hardest thing in there.
Niggas is shooting they shot, bro.
I heard a lot of these girls getting bodies.
I got 60 naked bitches.
No exaggeration.
Go, go, boy.
I believe you.
Come on, bro.
It's too many. And Drake and girls in my cup while your body is tea.
Man.
That's a crazy deal.
I'm probably featuring this one.
Yeah, he said.
That's a wild deal.
That's a sick deal.
I don't take up a drink.
Look, get off my dick.
Your body is tea is crazy.
That's a wild shot.
I don't even know
what she's supposed to say
after that.
But I'm saying, though, bro,
it ain't really be slim pickings, bro.
No, it's not, bro.
But niggas
make it slim pickings.
I'm saying you got to think
that's why niggas
be having the same baby mama.
Nah.
Like, I was listening
to Mason.
It's more like
people be fans.
Like, if you being for real.
Yeah.
Damn, that's
old buddy girl.
I'm about to snipe
old buddy girl. Yeah. That's how that be happening. It's more efficiency. For buddy girl I'm about to snipe Old buddy girl

It's more that
Like
Wow that's old buddy girl

Cause you gotta think about
All the girls in the world
Bruh
Man And they the most famous girls in the world, bro.
And they the most famous people in the world.
They can have.
No, they can have anything they want.
But it's like, I don't know, bro.
I just be thinking it'd be the same girls everywhere, bro.
You can build one.
All you got to do is go catch a.
You can go wherever you want in the countries.
Find you a pretty girl and you can...
Definitely build
a beer machine.
I'll wait for you to say.
I'll try to throw you

to print for me.
Let it go.
Anybody.
Anytime you throw a live,
you gotta say Metro now.
Anybody
under the right measures
can be thrown
through the Amazon
machine,
for sure.
But what I'm saying is, I don't think niggas is out here.
It's like, what's available right now?
You want to build up who you got on the tuck.
But you got to have your scouting team.
You have your scouting team to the T, bro.
Your assistant coaches, that's when they step in, bro.
Petro!
Assistant coaches are important. Very important, bro. They're there for the day-to- bro. Metro! Hey. Assistant coaches are important.
Very important, bro.
They're there for the day-to-day.
For the game.
Nah, I just think girls
run in packs, though,
for real, bro.
They do.
They run in packs, bro.
Y'all see the same girls, bro.
You're going to see
the same girls in every city
for the most part, bro.
That's how I look at it.
It'd be a bunch of bad bitches
in the concerts,
but niggas ain't looking in the nosebleed.
Bitches up there touching the jerseys.
You ain't really looking.
You got a hell of a lot of people up there.
Listen, man. They got Instagram.
It ain't. They
can touch. Okay.
I respect that. Bullshit.
Metro.
That D-Wade, LeBron, when they got
featured on Metro now, it's even better now.

He keeps losing in this tournament, bro.
That's a problem.
You can't keep losing the first round, bro.
What's more important, getting people to the league

Getting people to the league.

Firing Calipari is crazy.
Nah, he has to fire himself.

Yeah, basically.
That's fire.

He's not Calipari, though, bro.
No, John Calipari is not Rick Pitino.
No.
Calipari is...
Rick Pitino has three national championships
at three different places.
Rick Pitino bigger.
He sent more people to the league.
Rick Pitino bigger than Calipari.
He sent more people to the league.
I mean...
The legacy matters.
To the league, of course.
He got more lottery picks and stuff.
But from a coaching standpoint...
Calipari don't have those type of allegations either.
Oh, yeah, he do.
You better go check out UMass in Memphis.
I agree.

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love
you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that.

made for this mountain
is a podcast that exists to empower
listeners to rise above their struggles
break free from the chains of trauma
and silence the negative voices that have
kept them small through raw conversations real, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness
Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best
version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into
the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain. Because it's
impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small
ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two
cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up. So now I only buy one. The demand curve in action.
And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg
Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving
into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at
what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Business
Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda
Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our
economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

What about niggas all at the door
While a nigga in there getting it in?
Niggas, when he came out,
oh, here my nigga.
And I remember them days,
I see y'all niggas was some wild boys.
The nigga had a plate at the door.
I was like, hey, how this?
Bitch, you about to tap in there for a two piece?
You are sick.
Wild boys.

Nigga, I pulled up to Spanish Oaks one time.
Xavier, everybody, Chief, all them was out there.
I was like, what's up, boy?
Who you picking up, man?
She, I'm sorry.
She come on, you ready?
Bitch, hurry up.
Let's get it now.
That is crazy.
And he be hitting shit spot on.
That's why I'm like, damn.
Niggas is from Atlanta.
And we can relate to that shit.
So, I mean, motherfuckers is doing that shit globally, bro.
Hell, yeah.
Same mindset everywhere. I admit, I wasners are doing that shit globally, bro. Same mindset everywhere.
I admit,
I wasn't the biggest fan
of him early on,
but the stuff he been on
the last, like,
especially these last
couple months,
he been going super crazy.
He been going super crazy.
God show respect.
Yeah.
That's funny.
One of the three fouls,
because if you know
who those niggas were
he just listed,
it's a good thing
that you was cool with them.
Yeah, facts.
Like, look at this.
Who you picking up, nigga?
Good times, man.
That's the worst. No, you're coming outside. Yeah, hurry up, bro. look at this. Who you picking up, Nick? Good times, man. That's the worst.
No, you're coming outside.
Yeah, hurry up, bro.
Like, what are you doing?
But good times, bro.
Last but not least, hey, man.
Spending $100K in DoorDash is crazy.
Nuts.
$100K, I got it.
Y'all slandering me.
But I just think that is the funniest shit in the world, bro.
I'm sorry, bro.
That is the funniest shit in the world, bro.
I'm not laughing with you, bro.
I refuse to laugh with you.
I refuse.
I'm not.
You make it worse?
Because when I start, when he get to doing the shit he do,
I see he may say something.
He was like, damn, Cam had to let him say it. Because whatever he say before he about to go crazy, that's what be.
When B hit do that first line, before he say this shit, I'm staying out of this.
I'm just saying, bro.
That's how I was on the floor.
I'm getting part of this shit.
That girl is going through it over there.
And for you to be ordering roof prints.
The door dash is crazy.
I'm not doing this shit.
Mike, no. I just want to see their dresses.
Because they weren't on his house.
He was going fucking bananas.
That nigga fed the hood.
Off the strip.
Why he do it though?
Because of what, B.H.? Go ahead.
Because she didn't know what was going on.
I told y'all.
Hey, man.
Hey. Hey, man.
God bless her, man. God bless her.
Who y'all talking about?
Shout out to Whitney Williams, man. Shout out to Whitney Williams, man. God bless her. Who y'all talking about? Shout out to Wendy Williams, man.
Shout out to Wendy Williams, man.
Hey, before we get out of here,
I got to send a get well soon to Big Sean
because he dropped a single on Friday
and nobody gave a flying fuck.
Damn, he dropped a single?
Yeah.
You didn't hear it?
What's it was called?
I don't know.
Was it Decent, though?
No.
Damn.
I like Big Sean, though.
He was one of my guys, man.
I used to fuck with Big Sean.
His music was fire, bro.
I did too.
He got classic tapes too,
but shit, time has passed.
He took too long to drop, bro.
I think he had like anxiety or some shit.
He was talking about depression or something.
Yeah.
His era is just tough.
It was.
Growing up with Kendrick,
I'm not saying like niggas weren't grown,
but I'm just saying coming up with Kendrick,
Drake, and Cole is fucked.
And niggas don't even,
as successful as Wale is,
Wale is not in them conversations either.
Yeah.
And Wale got slaps.
Big Sean was successful.
He was the biggest artist on good music, so.
He bigger than Chase?
He was then when they was on there.
He was, bro.
When they was on good music,
Chase was doing a bunch of features and shit.
Yeah, for sure.
Big Sean was successful.
I think that Kanye shit made it worse, though.
When he came out, when he was spazzing,
he was like, he was the worst investment I ever had.
I think that kind of made things worse
because people just stopped liking Big Sean
just because it was cool to do.
But then, yeah, he talking about it
and other niggas kind of like doing that to him
kind of made it worse,
but that's crazy, bro.
Damn,
y'all used to like Vic Sean.
Detroit is classic.
Finally Famous,
5'3", classic.
Like, Sean got shit.
Vic Sean can go on the run.
Yeah,
Finally Famous was fire.
He wants to go on the tour
so he can bring him here.
Motherfucker's a slide, bro.
But he can't headline the tour right now.
Which that don't always matter.
What I'm saying,
somebody booked him.
He probably had to come to the vote.
Yeah. Yeah, he like, he a him. He probably had to come to the vote. Yeah.
Yeah, he like,
he a vote.
Nah, he can do all national.
Yeah, I was about to say.
Hell nah, bro.
What?
He gotta do vote.
Hell nah, T.
You wildin', bro.
You put him in the big three already.
He thought he was in that big three,
but he with Cuban now?
Nah, bro.
He with me, nigga.
I'm about to pick him up, man.
You got a backcourt? Yeah, he gonna announce me when, nigga. I'm about to pick him up, man. Nah, bro.
You got a backcourt?
Yeah, he gonna announce me
when we come out.
Putting Big Sean in the Vogue is nuts.
He at the Vogue, bro.
No, bro,
because you got to give him
like 50 or 60.
Thousand?
Yeah, I mean,
he still got...
You ain't giving Big Sean a dub.
So how many old national fit?
I don't know,
but more than fucking the Vogue.
Yeah, we'll probably fit like 10,000. Yeah, you can put Big Sean in the old national for sure I don't know, but more than fucking the Vogue. Yeah,
we'll probably fit like 10,000.
Yeah,
you can put Big Sean
in old National for sure.
Probably get 10,000.
You got to get your money
back some way.
I don't know if he can get
10,000 in that.
I don't know if he's going
to be fitting that.
10,000 people for Big Sean
in that
because we ain't going to go.
It's Midwest though.
He'll still get love out here.
Detroit, yeah.
Yeah,
he'll still get love out here.
But we wouldn't go.
We'd block them,
Big Sean here. I'd go. We'd think'll still get love out here. But we wouldn't go. We'd be like, damn, Big Sean here?
That's cool.
I'd go.
We'd think about it.
If I knew what he was performing,
like how they be sending the list.
Or if I knew the set list, I'm sliding.
Yeah, the set list is crazy.
Just off the strip.
That's very important.
Off the dribble?
No, sir.
Like, I don't want to go hear him do his new album
because there's no disrespect.
I'm just not tapping in.
Yeah, I don't want to hear it.
But if he like, we doing a Detroit run
or my niggas is sliding, bro. Yeah, if he like, we doing a Detroit run or...
Oh, if a nigga's doing...
Oh, if a nigga's just sliding, bro.
Yeah, if he say I'm doing
my, uh...
What's that?
My shit?
What, Falling Famous?
Nah, the hardest album
he got.
Scott Paradise?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got it.
Nah, if he doing that album,
I'll fuck with it.
It's been a whole time.
I'm pulling up.
Yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Sean.
Sean's a big Sean, man.
He was one of my favorites, man.
He gotta get back to that shit.
But you know what?
It's kind of like
how we talk about basketball. We can't expect n favorites. He got to get back to that shit. But you know what? It's kind of like how we talk about with basketball.
We can't expect niggas to be elite for 10, 13 years.
Like, some niggas be cold for a time period,
and we just got to accept that other niggas just cold.
Like, Drake cold.
Them niggas generational talents.
Can't be mad at big Sean for having a 10-year run.
Nah, he not.
I think he just, like, took a hiatus at the wrong time.
He also got genetic, too, so I don't blame him.
Respect to his choice.
Respect to the lineage.
I got in trouble for the last time I gave somebody some love.
So.
That boy.
That boy.
That least.
That boy, she got the remote at that motherfucker.
She zapped me.
I zapped my nigga.
My nigga got the humblest.
My fucking legs
started shaking.
I said,
Jenea,
fuck,
hey,
I just said he picked
the right one.
But anyway,
hey,
man,
we gonna get out here
when we get to eat more
trouble.
Appreciate y'all rocking with us.
Hold on,
hold on,
hold on.
I'm about to say,
I'm about to say somebody.
Go crazy.
I forgot now.
I'm about to start you out. I'm about to say something about him. Go crazy. I forgot. I was trying to stall you out.
Don't stall me out, D-Mo.
I'm about to say something about J-
I was about to say something about J-Day.
I was about to say something about him.
Damn, I can't remember, man.
Shout out to Big Sean, man.
Fuck.
Hope he doing well.
Get well soon.
Get well soon.
T-shirt's on the way, baby.
That's it.
Oh, I was about to ask you, bro, Wale.
Yeah.
Does he make the best R&B rap music?
Because it's like no way that his...
Like right now at this time,
he should be like popping again.
Wale make the best R&B rap music.
Yeah, because he got all them fire ass songs
with all them singers.
I feel like this is like a time
where you need a Wale right now.
He should just drop.
Yeah.
He gave us too much too soon, though.
That's crazy.
No Diddy that.
That's crazy.
I'm sad.
No Diddy is way funnier than Paul, by the way.
No, for sure.
But he didn't, like, keep going.
Like, he took a break like Big Sean.
I think his music situation, I think probably both of them, too.
Their business behind the music
probably wasn't as
likable as it was
only thing I think
with Wale
is kind of tough
is that
he do Wale mania
like
he doing other stuff
that's just as impactful
as music
and he probably feel like
he ain't got his
just due for music
cause like you said
we can see her name
a whole bunch of
cold Wale songs
and especially
in that particular lane
in the new era
R&B artists
he would go crazy
that's what I was thinking like
It's just really him and Drake
That do shit like that
Consistently though
Yeah but I'm thinking like
All the new R&B girls
That dropped
And I'm like
Damn that shit be Wale
A Wale verse would be far on that
Come on man
But that's just me
But we can get out of here
If y'all ready
For sure you good?
Yeah I'm good
Alright shit
My niggas
We back next week
You know what it is
Club 520 Shop club520.com Get you some merch niggas We back next week You know what it is Club 520
