Starting point is 00:00:02 Duh, blah, blah, blah. DJ. I'm gonna go up the sex enough. What you went? Sex and a. What a mix out was that? James God made it better. It gave you such a good opportunity to, like, get out on a good drop right there.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I know. Let me try again. Arguably worse than the first time. What's going on, everybody? It's your boy. best DJ MC And I showed you my skills Jagg. What's going on
Starting point is 00:01:20 Steasy? And it's the better DJ Kelly Castle And we had the DJs that like to spit it, mix it, throw it back, and dissect it, and we finally got to it the song of 2022 as far as I'm concerned, which
Starting point is 00:01:40 somehow DJ Jag in all glory and renowned, that he is in the DJed um has not heard this song never heard this song as we've started to play though is it starting to ring a bell i heard the original i know the okay so what we're gonna do today we got a little special mix-up for you we're gonna take this is jack harlowe's first class which of course is a remix of the original furgy what does she call that glamorous glamorous glamorous glamorous and we're gonna do a little versus battle for us we're gonna put them both up against each other and find out one thing, are these songs different? Or is it just merely Fergie's song
Starting point is 00:02:21 with Jack Harlow throwing some rap lyrics on there? We're going to find that out. Before we do, I'd like to extend another apology for the third week in a row to Stingeth Gordon Thomas Howard or whatever his last name was. We're still going to get to SOS. I know we said it was Sting week like a month ago. We got a lot of pressing songs. We had to get Beyonce's new jam, once she released it. We had to get her summer jam with a Sunday afternoon. Hey, there's a guy
Starting point is 00:02:47 got to finally get this song in that. He lost at sea. He has a message in a bottle. He's on his way. You will find it. You got nothing but time out there, my man. Me too. So, yeah, never heard this song.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Don't know who Jack Harlow is. I'm not a good DJ. I'm a great event DJ and can play all the top jams. But apparently I don't because... Don't know anything that happened in the past six months. maybe even six years.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Possibly six years. Yeah. Yeah. Some would argue that makes you not a very good DJ. I agree. I think you can mix songs with the best of them. I don't think you do a good job keeping your ear to the ground. I don't.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I don't. Because this song sucks. I've heard this song every day. In the year of 2022. All I heard, it's glamorous with a hip-hop guy behind it. That's all I did. Same thing everybody ever does. It's another pit bull.
Starting point is 00:03:41 It's got a hip-back beat. Is Jack Harlow the Pitch. Pit bull of the music now? Is that what he is? Is he the, does he just put a random track and then put himself behind it and be like,
Starting point is 00:03:48 look what I made. Look what I did. You see how cool that is? Like, no, dude, you're not cool. You just did fucking glamorous that we all heard.
Starting point is 00:03:55 No, because this previous hit was not an example. Get low. Get low. What do you? Isn't that Jack Harlow? I don't think so. I don't know,
Starting point is 00:04:03 maybe. Oh, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Here's that one that goes, Bum-B-B-de-doo. I was just pop it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Just passed it like Stockton. You know that song? It was one of the first songs that we used in the 2020 mix. So anyways, Jack Harlow actually is one of the more prominent of the music industry in 2022. So I suggest to get used to him as much as you think his name sucks because you're not comfortable popping for a dude named Jack. But that's okay. At least he used his actual name and didn't use a stupid-ass name like Young Boy Stunna or some shit like that, you know? I respect. You got to just roll with what your mom gave you. So that's what Jack's doing.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And he's doing it in first class, apparently. So this song, of course, was released this year. Oh, never mind. It was Zed. Completely different artists. Different genre. Different vibe. Different generation of music. Yeah. I think that's what we're learning. But the other thing we're trying to learn is, is this song different than Fergis? I don't know. Let me listen to this. I'm guessing he's going to come in with some random rap That he talks about himself
Starting point is 00:05:13 And how he did in first class And how cool he is And same as a rap Same story, different day Let's hear it, Jack Let's hear you know Bullshit that we got to listen to I could see the whole city from this balcony
Starting point is 00:05:25 Back in 2019 I was outside freely But now they got it out for me I don't care what friday you was in You can't out for me Keep dreaming Pineapple juice I give a sweet Sweet sweet sweet scene
Starting point is 00:05:37 I know what they like So I just keep I'm trying to come to same day as Jack rethinking You don't need Jivon she you need Jesus Why do y'all sleep on me? I need reasons I got plaques in the male peak season Shout out to my UPS workers making sure I receive it
Starting point is 00:05:55 You could do it too believe it I've been a Go up the sex and a No, I'm not ready You know what I'm over this fucking guy I'm fucking hate I'm over it You know what
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's coming You're ready? Here comes, Ken. I don't know what's going. Just don't be too loud in the microphone. Jack Harlow, bro. Cocky mom. You don't care what fraternity else from?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Shit. Let me do a shit on your ass. Let me start chatting. Let me. He threw that in there so he said, you can't alpha me. Keep dreaming. Then he fells.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I'm trying to alpha you. I know. He's getting a headside on that. I will say. I'll forever hate cocky talk in rap songs. I'll just forever. ever hate it. It's just like do something, but do something different, my man. You know? Yeah. Cocky talk and rap songs. It's just like, come out for Justin. Then he goes with
Starting point is 00:07:14 pineapple juice. I give a sweet, sweet, sweet semen. That's in the fourth line of this song. Yeah. Talking about pineapple juice, which apparently is related to his sweet, sweet sweet. Well, apparently if you drink, it drinks pineapple juice or you eat pineapple, apparently it makes the flavor of your semen taste sweeter. Is that true? A bullshit story. I'm Googling it. He's got to drink more water, more vitamin C, and then it makes it go.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Apple juice. Effect. Castle is checking it out for us. The semen. Whether or not the semen. However there are certain foods that are supposed to make semen taste sweeter, i.e. those high in fructose and glucose, for example, pineapple, orange juice, and kiwi. Foster said that in reality, eating these fruits is unlikely to make a difference in semen taste.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I don't know who the fuck Foster is. Who is Foster? I don't know. Here's the way Google does it when they give you the answer at the top. Like it just takes something out of an article. So I'm supposed to have read that previously and like no, like the paragraph before. But I appreciate it to do it because usually if you actually click on a website to look at it, it's like since the beginning of time, many people have wondered what the vitamin C varieties, how they may affect your insect. Yeah, it takes you straight to the point.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I got you. Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. I don't even know if Foster is. I buy his shit though. It sounds like he did research. That's how we learn facts in 2022. We take the first line out of the first thing that Google tells us and we're like, boom, facts. As I said, Google it.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Doesn't do anything. More water, drink some vitamin C. That'll help your... I do appreciate at least that it worked in the rhyme. Actually, when I read the lyrics before I heard the verse, I thought that sounds ridiculous. I don't know what the fuck is going on there. He looks cool. You know, he looks like he's hip.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He's styling. You know. He's got a stud earring that looks maybe like a marijuana. You know. Yeah. Whatever, dude. No, I'd kick it with Jack. I feel like we get along.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I mean, I don't know. I'd be like, yo, Jack, are you paying? You got it? He's got it. He's first class, dude. Of course he is. As long as he's, is he talking about me? He can give me first class?
Starting point is 00:09:25 You know, he's talking about ladies in general. Like, so he's trying to get some. Or is he talking like the homies? Like, if you can hook me up, Jack. Yeah. Let me get on. first class dog like I would change your tune
Starting point is 00:09:38 let me get on the plane okay wait okay you're right if you're talking about generally hooking everybody up Jack then I'm on board and would like to be friends and let's hang out man
Starting point is 00:09:52 I feel like we'd have a good time I dance I play chess I'm socially active just to come to hit me up but if you're talking just trying to hit up first class just for the ladies
Starting point is 00:10:02 and you pay for them does not taste a pineapple Yeah. That I know of. That I've been told. And if you're talking about ladies, you know, fuck that. Dude, you know what? You're discriminating against me and my abilities and chance to get on first class.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I want to get on first class. I want shrimp. All right, so let's do this. Now that we're one verse deep, tell me if we can do this, Mr. DJ. I would like to switch it over to the Fergie side. And let's get in the first verse of her legendary song. from what year was that I want to guess I'm gonna go ahead and guess I'm gonna say 2006 when Fergie released glamorous mr. computer tell me if I am correct boom
Starting point is 00:10:53 2006 what you know about this I got to be honest I got to be honest I think we're just focusing on this part right here let's try it again let's see to make sure this part is what we're looking for let's see it I know how to play dude what is up with your DJ skills today you get the point you had such a good hour right there to slow it down I know I just do to get a great round I don't have my DJ gear in front of me I'm trying to do a computer
Starting point is 00:12:14 and it's not working the same it's not the same real quick let me make sure I got the other one so we can compare And I can put you in Sex enough It's pretty cool that right now As you're mixing They actually have both videos on the screen So we actually got to see them both
Starting point is 00:12:58 Kind of simultaneously as play Similar vibes are they both trying to put out A first class thing Fergus kind of goes right for her being on a plane With a champagne Like sitting on a dope-ass jet Harlow's going for more of sort of a You know artsy vibe
Starting point is 00:13:13 It's more black and white They both actually do a little black and white With like the color It's like the one color one color is showing. So I think he might have taken a little bit of that. I love two things about the Harlow video right off the bat. As he's riding down the motorcycle on the lonely highway,
Starting point is 00:13:31 it's hitting up the letters on the side of the road. G. A. M. S. That's not how you spell that. G. A.
Starting point is 00:13:42 What is he spelling? G. L. A. M. And like as he's, as he's as, going through the song the letters
Starting point is 00:13:51 are pointed at painted are the exact place that they need to as he's passing them so either a really good direction on the painting of the letters or he just knew to go the exact speed and then it goes to oh U S and they're all right there so I appreciate that I think it's great editing I think that's back editing that's like Photoshop
Starting point is 00:14:07 you could have been put on there in post that's true and then also telescope Tanya what up little girl with the telescope oh yeah yeah yeah A.M. O, O you. Sex enough. Your question is, are they the exact same?
Starting point is 00:15:09 I mean, yes. They're not actually. It's slowed down with a little bit more of a hip-hop beat, but it's absolutely like the same hook. Just paced out differently. And also, after listening to one back-to-back, I got to say that, Fergie's comes in harder. Like, I actually loved hearing that.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Like, it had been a long time since I'd heard. heard hers so hearing the kind of revamped style that jack put on it over the last several months i was actually appreciating because it was different but after i hadn't heard it in a while i actually really like how fergus comes in it comes in way stronger hits way harder and um we all know the ace of the back pocket that's coming i don't know if we want to spoil it yet but the fact is i already know the difference maker between these two songs is going to be that fergus got one of the all-time mountain rushmore members of the third verse Hall of Fame, ready to back her up.
Starting point is 00:16:02 He's about to ready to jump on this track. We'll let him go? Let's let him go. The clourous, the clara-o-lis, flambolus by the clarrulous. Oh, flowers and flowers. I'm trying to drinkings. You deserve nothing but all the final thing is. Now this whole world has no clue what to do is.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I got enough money in the bank for the two of us. I've got to keep enough lettuce to support. Portures you fetish lifestyle So rich and famous Robin Lytte'll get Jell as half a million butterstone Taking trips from here to row So if you ain't got no money Take your broke ass home
Starting point is 00:16:41 G G G. G.M. A.m. O, O U S S. G G.m. All right, let's hear how Jack runs that second half. It's going to be tough to top Having Luda on the verse, but let me hear what kind of bars he dropped. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:17:19 That wasn't Luda's best I already like that one. I don't think it's his best because it's hard to top is actually best. And in the videos, it's them. Like, he's just talking to her where he has a gun in his hand. So they're doing sort of like a Bonnie and Clyde shoot thing. It's like showing behind the cameras. Like they're doing kind of an old school film kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I got a dug it. I thought it was a good look. You know, he's got that classic sort of suit from the 20s like he's a mobster and she's looking real glamorous. And that's like peak fergy right here. So, yeah, that's going to be hard to one up. But let me see what you got, Jack. Downsize, I got visions of my mom saying, wait, this house's mine.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I'm on Angus Cloud 9. I got him on a bandwagon now about time. I ain't even got no downtime. Every time I speak, she said, yeah, that sounds fine. I've been to throw up the sex in her, and I can put you in. I'm going to be over right there. Where I officially would add him to the boy stable, where I'm like, all right, yeah, I'm kicking up this guy. He had that shot where he was on the lonely road, and there's a helicopter view,
Starting point is 00:18:38 and it's only like the light from the helicopter beating me down on him. And then he's kind of doing some castle steps on the road. I was like, that's exactly what I would do. If I was getting shot from a helicopter, like from a camera angle, and they had one light on me, and I was dressed in a suit as he was, started doing his steps, doing his walking. He was just kind of vibing with it. I was like, that's exactly what I would do.
Starting point is 00:18:59 So I feel like we're one of the same right there on the vibe. So, yeah, tip of the cap to Harlow. As we're going through these hungs back to back, though, I do feel like the Furgy one maybe has a little bit more for it, though. I didn't think I would say that. I actually thought when I originally heard the song, maybe because it was new and fresh to my ears, that, you know, yeah, he kind of like took the song,
Starting point is 00:19:20 he gave it a new level, added a new vibe to it, and I respected it. I thought I actually maybe made the song better, but as we're going back to back, I actually think Furgy maybe hasn't beat. You know, I'm not a first-class writer. If it was a trip to Vegas, I'm gonna drive and try to save money that way,
Starting point is 00:19:45 rather than even trying to touch a plane, let alone getting on first class. So I don't understand the glamorous life. I don't live the glamorous life. I don't have the ability to do what Jack Harlow does and have a helicopter shoot me from above and let me dance my ass off. So I don't assimilate at all with either one of these songs.
Starting point is 00:20:07 None of the final things are going to, the Rome, just the two of us. I don't get any. I just, you know, as I'm listening to these, I'm just like, you know what? They're, they're not me. So you know what I have to say to that? Don't say it.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I already said earlier. Fuck him. Look, you're getting too personal with this and you're actually not even listening to the music. Getting a little insult to that. I'm not first class. Okay, can you get over that? I need you get over that.
Starting point is 00:20:39 We're actually listening to the music. at this point. Do you think that anybody that listen to us is first class? Yeah. You think there's a
Starting point is 00:20:44 baller like millionaire like these guys are fucking. I hope so. Yeah. These guys fucking broke
Starting point is 00:20:49 by the photos. Yeah. Now, these songs hit them differently but you know what? I just appreciate
Starting point is 00:20:54 for the music. Not that broke. All my bills are paid. You want to give the whole run down about how you're Mitsubishi Mirage
Starting point is 00:21:01 I do have a fantastic and your house that is owned by your mom but you're running to own and you're running to be mine. It's going to be mine.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It's going to be mine. So it's, got that out there again because it has not been discussed enough on the season of dissect DJs. Yeah, no, I would like it if we just step to the music access of the song. You know what? Everybody can make songs about first class if they're in the industry like this, but we're going to actually focus on the music and in this point the music videos.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Also, kind of like the Fergie music video better, I think. Music video is a straight party going on. Yeah. It's not really first class because they've got a bunch of red solo cups and stuff. That's cool, though. That's how they glamorize. and she went through different scenes. So it went from her up in the sky,
Starting point is 00:21:44 like on the first class jet, looking like a baller, and then she was doing a movie shoot with Ludacris, kind of a Bonnie and Clyde affair, kind of old-school-looking gangster type with her shotguns and like the car from the 20s. A night pool party. Straight out of Henry Ford model.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And now they're at a night party around a pool and everybody's holding up the solo cups. Everything's kind of dark other than the red cups. That's cool. Let's let Fergie play it out. Let's close it out on that. sounded better. It actually looked better.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I did not see this coming, but in the head-to-head battle in the ring, I think I got Ferg 10-9. Yeah. She got the slight edge for me, and it's partly because the video shoot, it's partly because the song actually just is a little bit more charged. I wonder how I would feel if these were reversed, if the Jack Harlow song is the one we've known about for like 15 years, and then Fergie just came up with that.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I actually think it would be even more obvious at that point because it was the new version and it jumped it up a level. Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and 100% disagree with you and say it's a 10-8 win for Jack Harlow. That's not really a 100% disagree then. Yeah, it's 100%. It's like a 50% disagree because you still says she got the win. He's giving her the knockout. Oh, you're saying that Harlow gets the win. He don't get shit.
Starting point is 00:23:58 The song sucks. I've always hated glamorous. It was annoying. It was like a pop trying to be hip-hop trying to be. And it was always like, what am I supposed to do with this? as a guy dancing on the dance floor. How am I supposed to be in a group to this? Never happened. However, this new dance, Jack Harloaf song, I can get down to. I can actually break down a nice little hip-hop breakdown dance.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And once I get past the fact that it's the normal, you know, I'm rich so I get a bunch of, you know, stuff and I get to write first class thing that all hip-hop tends to do. Once you get past that, the song's dope. Good remix of a previous thing. And, yeah, it's a much better dance song, much more. fits me as what I like on the dance floor versus whatever the fuck for you. I always hated that song. I hate that song. I strongly disagree.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I always thought that song brought excellent dance floor vibes. The only thing that it holds against it is that for many years it actually got played out. So it's hard to move out of the playout realm. But like I was just saying, as I was watching it right here and listening to it for the first time, I've been so used to hearing Jack Harlow's version over the past six months. And this one... That song's gone for six months? No, it actually hasn't.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I lied. It got released in April 8th. So, yeah, it's only been around for a couple months, actually. It just feels like a while. Like, it's been... Fucking six months. Three months. It's been...
Starting point is 00:25:18 You're your exaggerations. Dude, it feels like it, because I don't know how you've missed it, but I've been hearing the song. I don't listen to the radio. I heard the song every day for literally since April 8. I feel like. So because it's kind of refreshing to me in relation to this song, it kind of got a new boost of life that I was feeling like it was dead.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Like, I have not gone. gone out of my way to play glamorous in easily 10 years. But as I'm like listening to it... You're thinking glamorous. Well, after I've getting so used to hearing Jack Harlow's version of it, listening back to it, I'm like, you know what, this song actually has more light, but it does
Starting point is 00:25:49 kind of actually depend on the vibe area. When I first heard this song, I definitely chose this one for sure because it was like, this is a little bit more my general vibe of what I want to hear from a song. But after getting so accustomed to hearing this version, then going
Starting point is 00:26:05 back to this one and also the video really actually brings a song in life. I actually really enjoyed watching the video, which I actually don't even know if I've ever seen. So the video combined with kind of the rejuvenation of hearing the original version, especially with how the song comes in. I definitely agree it comes in
Starting point is 00:26:20 better than the one does now. It just jumps out of you a little bit more. So they're both good songs and I appreciate both of them, but we got some grading to do. So let's let the slap and snap system figure it out. How are we doing this? I thought we were just grading it on which one you thought was better.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Okay, well... You went with glamorous, and I went with first class, so we're at an odd tier. All right, how about this? You give me your slaps and snaps for Jack Harlow. I'll do Fergie. First class. That's it? Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:59 All right. I'm going to hear my glamorous. You want to hear what I got for glamorous? Yeah. First clown. You didn't even go up in the sky. That would have been the easy. Do up in the sky.
Starting point is 00:27:10 That would be a better way. And you could... Are you telling me how to rate my own shit? It would have been... It would have sent it away better. You said first class both times. That's boring as hell. But it would have been better if I went.
Starting point is 00:27:21 B. O. R. I disagree. I was showing you that they... G. E. Is this boring?
Starting point is 00:27:30 No. No. That's you. You're boring. You say boring her? Is that what you didn't get out? Yeah, I ran out of letters. You got it.
Starting point is 00:27:38 That's why two. Okay. Three. And a first class. and I won in a first class. Yeah. All right, here's mine. You ready?
Starting point is 00:27:48 I'm going to just rank them together because to me, actually, you feel like... First clan. I rank them. Yeah, I heard it. I wish you would stop doing that. It's sounding worse. It's not sexy.
Starting point is 00:28:01 It's making me like the song a little bit more. I kid. Glad I could do that for you. Please stop. Everybody wants you stop. All right. Here is my ranking. I'm just going to combine a girl.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Because, like, they're both, honestly, it's so close of a battle to me. Oh, come on. It is. So I'm just going to rank them together because they both get the same ranking to me. Are you ready? Up in the sky. Champagne. That's it.
Starting point is 00:28:33 A little added champagne on the tip. There we go. And a snap. Oh, man. Three slaps. Up in the sky. Champagne. A little snap on the end.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Because you know what? If you could take a song that actually, had a good run, but as an all right, it's kind of been forgotten about and doesn't really get much play anymore. It actually gives DJs like you a reason to actually play something from the past and remix it into something new. And it's fun to play with it. It just gives us more fun music. I always am down for a good remix. Mr. Harlow? Good remix. Appreciate you. No matter how much this character over here wants to hate on you because your name is Jack. Next!
