Dasek
Dijee J, DJ Jag
DJ Castesi
about to break down
Castle's
apparently favorite
song
if not top three songs
but he's gonna go ahead and say
it might be his favorite
All right so
you know how
Give us a back to
You know how you come up
with a song
That's like
Well like your favorite
Anything
All right
When people ask you
Here's your favorite
What's your favorite movie
What's your favorite song
Goonies?
The mask.
He's just named two, so I already need...
Willow.
Willow, I believe, because you always talk up Willow.
But the fact is, like, okay, so you come up with these answers, as you're approving,
you come up with something from, like, your young age, like, that just becomes ingrained
in your answer as, like, that's your favorite thing.
I'll give you a great example right now.
My three, I just gave.
I really get those friends.
As I'm looking at this picture of Denise Richards on the wall that's been there for fucking ever.
Why is it the only picture of any of random?
I don't know who decorated us.
garage with that one little like piece of a magazine picture it's just got put there somebody
thought it would go good there and it's supposed to this day whenever anybody says like who do
you think it's like the hottest girl ever i still literally just resort to like the answer that i
gave when i was like 13 12 which is Carmen Elektra I always thought Carmen lecture is now luckily
she actually aged well to the point she looks did you see the last dance did you see it in last
dance she looks better than ever oh my god car
If you're listening to this, you should...
Hit us up at 555-4621.
You hit up the Dysic DJs on a low DM, you know?
Instagram.
It's probably the better way because that number is fake.
I don't know if you guys ever knows that or called it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I hope you know why I say 5-55.
Anyways.
Point is, you don't change your answers much on like your favorite.
Because like, it's just the thing that you don't like prioritize as much like as you get older.
But like when you're like 1213, like you are in top of like what your favorite movie is.
What's your favorite song is.
who the hottest girl in the world is.
So, like, for the longest time, when you asked me what my favorite song was, like, this was my answer,
because I was so into it when it came out.
And it just kind of, like, never got top.
Like, I never came up with it.
I think Rosa Parks had a good run there with Outcast.
I think eventually knocked it off because I was super an Outcast, like, around that time.
I met a Gypsy, and she hit me to some live game.
Yeah, exactly.
So, yeah, this was just always, like, for the longest time, like, for a good stretch was my favorite song.
And it just stands.
Like, I just love everything going on with this jam.
So, I'm elated to finally actually get to bring this up to the Dysect DJ audience.
I'm like, let's figure out what the fuck is going on in this one.
Now, we, in the previous episode, we did discuss that this is a sample of multiple different songs.
We come to find, really, it's just a sample of one heavy hitter.
Diana Ross.
I'm coming out.
I'm coming out.
Right when she hits the beat.
I'm coming out.
I'm coming out.
I mean, okay, we should give that some proper play right now.
Here is the sample that makes this song possible.
Run it.
Yeah, that's a great song.
Is that song about coming out of the closet, you think?
I mean, that's what it has implications to.
I think that's what's meant to be.
However, it's one of those songs we should probably break down in the future and, you know, find out exactly what.
I mean, if there's ever a time we're going to break it down, it's probably here.
It should be our next song?
Should we do that song, too?
Are we doing like a double?
If it's always, we just keep playing that one and then go back to our...
I don't want to step on the toes of more many more problems right now, though.
Like, that song deserves its own.
I'm saying, like, right now, I think we could just do a little quick, like, a little blanket.
Well, I don't know the lyrics of...
I mean, she's saying I'm coming out.
I'm with the world to know.
Maybe she's just coming out of the door and ready for life today.
Like, she's going to...
I don't think she meant for it to be...
I'm coming...
Because Dan & Ross wasn't gay, so, like, I don't think that's what it's meant for.
But I think that a lot of gay people have probably used that as, like,
great anthem.
I mean, it is that, but I don't know, like you said,
I don't know if that's necessarily what she was referring to.
So I'm saying.
I don't think it was meant to be, but it became that.
There's a new me coming out, and I just want to live,
and I just have to give.
I'm completely positive.
And we just give props to Diddy on finding that.
Like, I think if there's one thing that he was amazing at as a producer,
is finding some, not even that obscure, but somewhat obscure,
like, just jams from the past and, like, figuring out how he,
he can turn that into a modern hip-hop beat.
He just used basically an old song and then fucking put it a hip-hop artist.
But he knew how to, no, but he, like, reworked his whole fucking beat.
Come on.
He didn't take that.
He took that fucking guitar and he turned it in a hip-hop beat,
and he knows exactly when it hit that, like, right there when it's just like,
bum-bamp-de-bamp-bamp coming.
Wow.
Like, he hits that right.
I don't know.
You're instinct is to not give people credit for anything.
I just wish he was a natural artist.
Like, and I have to do that, oh, hear that song?
I'm going to turn that into this.
Why don't you just make your own shit?
That's an element of producing this good.
Anything he did make was...
He...
Stop doing that in the background, please.
He had...
I saw this documentary once where he had this crew that was called the Hitman.
He literally brought them to, I want to say Jamaica.
And he literally was just like, we're going to be in this hut
and we're going to work on looking through old music
and we're going to come up with beats.
And we're going to like just stay here nowhere to go
until we make jams.
And that set up all the stuff that he came out with on his album, Biggie, Mace, all of the people that like popped off in like 97 all happened from that one trip.
And like one of the ones that I love that they figured out was like the Benjamin's was a Barry White song.
And somebody heard the kind of backbeat of it.
You know, it's all about the Benjamins.
And he realized, oh, if you take this beat, slow it down and turn it backwards.
And it made this amazing sound that it.
is that kind of like, you know how the Benjamins has that sort of like...
I don't know that song.
Let's listen to it real quick.
Benjamins, yeah.
What's it called?
All about the Benjamins.
Uh-huh, yeah.
Uh-huh, yeah.
It's all about the Benjamins, babe.
Uh-huh, yeah.
It's all about the Borders.
Want to beat ballers.
Shot callers, brawlers.
We'll be dipping in the Benz.
Okay, so that was all about the Benjim's,
and Diddy got that from this song from Barry White's group,
Love Unlimited, called
it was it called i did it for love let's hear it pretty genius sampling right that's pretty good and if
you listen to it slow it down and reverse it without the singers coming in you can actually hear
that doom do do which would then incorporate the which is why you hear that sound and all about the
benjamin's which is dope and it's like which just somehow makes it even doper beats so that's what i mean
like did he was right up there at the top as far as like finding classic beats and like figuring out
a way to finagle them and like repurpose them.
And I think that's what we did right here with this Diana Ross beat.
That song was great.
As we just went over the last episode, redoing old songs can be a sketchy situation
and try to like, do.
Like, especially if a song is already a classic,
and I just think that Diddy could do that as good as anybody.
You know, I know you're going to want to hate him, but like this, take this.
I just wish you did his own shit.
Made his own shit, too.
But, I don't know.
Shit never made it.
His personal shit never made it that he did himself.
I'm not going to go down and did discography, but like I want to focus on my own money more problems because that shit is a bangor.
However, we already hit the first rap of this thing.
Dude, I got to be honest.
I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.
It's just a lot of, I've never been a big rap.
No.
Who's not?
Where I pay attention to what they're trying to say.
You tell them who's out.
I know.
I know.
I hear you saying all that, but I'm just saying like.
I know you're right.
It's one of those ones.
Okay, so this is one of those songs.
I think I talked about in a previous.
episode too. I wanted to learn the lyrics of this song and I just played it over and over again
and I just went through with the notepad because again, pre-internet, that's a dinosaur myself,
but pre-internet, that was how we had to figure out lyrics. We had to literally just listen to it
and write it down and then rewind it and go back. And so there's a bunch of lyrics that I'm sure
that I wrote wrong in my 10-year-old self. So let's hear what he actually said.
Are we going through all of it, dude? Because it's a lot to go. I think we're
At least, start for the beginning at least because, like, those are the lyrics that are from my house.
Now, who's hot?
Who's not?
Tell me who rock.
Who sell out in stores?
Tell me who's hot.
Who got the...
You tell me who flopped.
Tell me who flopped.
Who copped the blue drop?
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about still.
Who's Joe's got rocks?
I still remember at my notepad at home when I was a kid, I wrote, who got the Jew blot?
Which doesn't make sense, but that's how I heard it.
You went straight races with it.
That's funny.
I mean, you can call it that.
That's what I heard.
Dole say down to the tube sock.
Same old pimp.
Mace, you know, and ain't nothing changed but my limp.
Because stop.
Now he's limping.
No, he's lipping.
I told you all.
Anyway, it's just a fool talking about himself
and that he's the shit.
It's all he's doing.
Generally, I'm the shit verse and shit, you know,
talking about how he's topping the charts and shit.
And he's beating PhDs and those folks can't hold him down.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, say that line?
I mean, because I heard the...
I never actually knew what he said there.
This is actually very educated.
for me.
Go all the way down to I'm the Young Harlem.
Because he's from Harlem.
He's called his out.
No, Harlem World.
From that part, go into the rap.
Like, you know it.
Let me hear you.
Go.
Which part?
Okay, so, don't play around.
It's a bit.
Lay it down.
They don't know me, 91.
Bet they know me now.
I'm the Young Harlem with a golden sound.
Can't know T&D hold me down.
Could it.
Can't know Ph.D.
Holy.
Okay.
Skil me to the game.
Man on my duty.
Stay humble, stay low.
blow-black foodie true pimp spend no dough on the foodie there you go mace spend no dough on the booty
oh okay they got your your sound about it was so nice i know no my 10 year old brain is so innocent
and then something about there you go you go you're cutie right there you go yo there you go mace
there you go your cutie yeah yeah we should just do this this way like i rap from like the
original way that i like yeah that sounds dope so next verse we'll do that I wanted you to rap what you
know we can let him sing it then I want you to rap it like
you know and then I'll correct what you're wrong right right that sounds do it and we'll
we'll figure out how actually just do you first
then we'll hear the actual version yeah yeah so next thing kind of want to hear it first
I know you do but I wanted you do it I don't know what they want from me is not the
more problems with the comfortable most energy and then I'm the D O D O D to the A to the D D D Y
know you'd rather see me fly than I see me die I call all the shots call rather see me die
than to see me fly that's what I said he went opposite but it's okay I yeah keep we going
Probably. I don't hear him do it.
Exactly.
And then it'll be fresh in my mind.
I haven't listened to song on a minute.
Rip all the spots, rock all the rocks.
10 years from now, we'll still be on top.
Yo, I thought I told you that we won't stop.
Now, what you're going through much longer than yours?
And a team much stronger than yours.
Valet me, this a B-O-Day.
We don't play.
Mess around.
Be D-O-A-B on your way.
Because it ain't enough time.
There ain't enough lime here for you to shine here.
Deal with many women, but treats down's fit.
and I'm bigger than the city life down in Times Square.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, we got to cut out before that
because we are about to be graced with the ultimate Third Verse Hall of Fame entry.
Now, if you're a long-time Dicec DJ listener,
you've heard me go on several times about the Third Verse Hall of Fame.
And this right here is what began the entire Third Verse industry, I feel like.
Notorious BIG is about.
to crush this entire verse.
Like, goddamn Barry Bonds crushing a baseball into the bay.
He's about to crush this shit.
Like me stepping on a can that needs to get tossed in the recycling bin.
He's about to crush this shit.
Like that girl in second grade that you always had a crush on.
You never quite had the inkling to talk to you wanted to, but you never really did.
But your crush grew that much more because you never had the balls to say anything about it.
That's how much he's about to crush this first.
I agree with you.
However, can I just, let's go back to what the name of the song real quick?
My Money, More Problems.
In no way has there been any problem at any point in this song.
These fools just keep talking about how they rock all the rocks.
They're on the yacht if you can't get a hold of them.
If you mess in me, you're going to be DOA.
There's no problems being discussed in this entire song.
I just wanted to say that the Dysect DJs, at least one of them,
and I'm hoping to kind of sell this on my other Diasect DG,
just found out that this song
isn't even talking about what the fuck
the title's talking about.
You got more money,
you're better off.
Never does you talk about problems
in this entire fucking song.
You want to know why that is,
just,
you know.
Yeah,
hit me.
Because right now it says
more money more problems
and there's not a single fucking problem.
What?
What?
Because there's no extra problems,
right?
Honestly.
Once you get money,
you don't get any more problems.
Get more money.
People want to always do that shit.
You get more money
and you find random rash reasons
to be calling problems.
Yeah, yeah.
Get the fuck out of here.
You're probably.
Problemist becomes, oh, my garbage disposal is not working now.
Oh, my maid can't show up this week because she has an issue.
Yeah, like, it's just like, like, random, not problems like, oh, shit, I don't know how I'm supposed to pay rent this month.
How am I going to eat?
You know, like, oh, my God, we're not eating filets.
We're eating New York cut tonight.
They're new problems.
Get the fuck out of here.
Mo money brings new problems.
That's what it is.
And you try to act like you had more fucking.
problems because of the money, it's only you putting yourself into those problems.
Period.
Fuck you if you think you get more money.
More people ask me for money.
Don't give them money.
Shut the fuck up.
Like, fuck you.
Money, more money.
All these people with their hands out.
Even in the song, they don't even refer to problems at any point.
So go fuck yourself.
Fuck you if you got more money and you act like you have more problems because of it.
Because you're bullshitting yourself.
Cut your bills.
Slow the fuck down.
You'll be fine.
Okay?
You can eat.
You're actually right.
I never thought about it, but like this song is not about problems in any way.
It's very much a celebration of life and just having money and partying with it.
More money.
And just partying with it.
It's all about that.
Yeah.
We dissected that.
Why they say more problems?
Who knows?
They just fucking do that's a title.
Because Biggie's about to talk about all the shit that he gets into.
So yeah, I want to, I don't even know.
Should we not even waste time on Did he's first?
I'm trying to refer is that Mace talked about being blowing up and killing shit.
Yeah.
He didn't go Diddy.
He talks about doing that shit too where he gets rocks and fucking call the drops and
Rips all the shots
You're killing shit
And then now we're about to hear Biggie
Like you said
Do the ultimate third verse
Of you're killing shit
Two
Of which none of these three
Have problems whatsoever
They don't talk
They don't discuss any problems
Alright so should we
Try to break down this one though
Because the first
I actually don't know
It's one of those verses
I've been rapping for years
Alright let's do it first
B-I-G
B-O
PPA
Spouse out Big Papa right there
No info

D-EA
He ain't telling the drug people

Crews too much.
I move too much.
Brews too much.
That makes sense.
Step on stage.
Bruce.
Like he bruised too much.
He beats people up.
Oh.
And then he says,
Step on stage.
the girls boo too much?
What does he say right there?
I'm actually curious.
Yeah.
Step on stage.
The girls boo too much.
Wow, that's weird.
I see,
you know,
that's one of those ones
where he's,
like,
how he's, like,
an ugly dude.
He was big on that.
He was that kind of dude.
He was just like,
yeah,
yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He used to talk about
when he was,
like, younger,
and now he doesn't deal
with that shit anymore.
Which is, again,
going against the title
with a fucking problem.
The thing,
you got more money
and you don't deal with this shit
anymore.
You don't deal with drugs,
booing.
Now nobody's calling you
More problems my ass
I guess it's because you run it with the lame dudes too much
Me lose my touch never that
If I did ain't a problem to get the gap where the true player's at
Throw your rollies in the sky
Wave them side to side and keep your hands high
While I give a girl die

But that's just how I wrote down
You were really fucking close to it
So I'm just gonna go all the way down

That's what I've been saying for you
Dangerous on the Trisax
Leave your

Keep your ass,
Chizak.
All right, so he wasn't actually saying anything.
I was saying it right.
You were saying,
you wrote it correctly.
So good job.
It's rare.
Usually it's,
usually I didn't realize
I was like writing down like,
another word for like a racial term
or some kind of booze or like
another term for a ho.
Yeah,
I didn't.
And my innocent 10 year old brain just wrote down what I heard and like,
you know,
it worked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So basically he's talking about,
you know,
he doesn't talk.
to the DEA.
He has guns if he needs to
fucking fuck somebody up.
He throws everybody
throw your rallies in the sky,
wave him side to side.
Wait,
but I always wondered
like when is he talking about
when he says,
weigh your rallies.
Like what,
what is he talking about?
Rolexes.
Oh shit.
There you go.
Yeah,
really,
Rolex is in the sky, yeah.
I always thought he was like,
like, is that always calling
fingers?
Or it could be like
Bluntz.
Like he rolled up blunts.
Is that like roly fingers,
you know?
No,
I mean,
it's not.
It most likely it's
Rolex fucking thing, but it could be
Rollies Blunts. I think it might be Blunts, actually.
That's actually, either way, it's fucking dope. It could be both.
It's fucking dope. Like, you have to be Roli with the blunt.
God damn. Biggie knows how to write a fucking verse.
But yeah, again, going back to my
title's fucking bullshit.
All right, but let's just,
we got to listen to Biggie Kill it, because this is
the inventor of the 3rd Verse Hall of Fame. Soundbite,
go. B.I.G. Hit us.
Cause I'm flagrant, tap myself and a phone in the basement
My team, Supreme, stay clean, Triple B, miracle dream
I beat at, catch a seat at all events bent
Gats and holsters, girls on shoulders, play what,
I told ya, me and mics to me,
grew too much, I lose too much, step on stage,
the girls booed too much, I guess it's fucking wrong with lame,
dudes too much.
Me lose my touch, never that, if I did, ain't no problem
and get the gap where the true players at.

On Trisack
Do your ass
Pissac
You have money
And you have no problems
This should be
My money
No problems
Oh that
Actually works
But like
People don't want to hear that
Should we
That's why
Was more money, no problems.
Should we turn the music down and discuss this?
Yes.
The title of this song should be
Mo money, no problems.
I guarantee that's what it was initially.
And they were like, yo, people don't like that, though.
They don't like that.
Mo money, no problems, yeah.
They're just like, oh, what, you think you better than me?
Yeah, so more money, more problems.
They were like.
Puff Daddy?
Call yourself Puff Teddy.
Why the fuck is that?
Yeah, but more money, more problems.
I'm with you.
We all got problems.
You've actually thinking about the fact that, like,
Sean Combs went with Puff Daddy is like,
his artist name or whatever.
He actually landed on that.
Like, I could see that being like a name that your boys call you.
Because you're like, oh, that dude is the craziest strain, man.
He gets the biggest.
He got to be puffed at it because he smoked a lot of weed.
I got to think so.
Why else would he?
Because he didn't, how would he get shit done?
I don't really think of him.
If I get Sativas, I'm good.
I never thought of Diddy as like, it's not like Snoop Dog.
Like, I don't think of him as like a weed smoker.
Yeah, I don't.
So like, it's in the good name for a weed.
He called himself puff daddy, which just makes me think it is.
You got the ultimate curse going on.
Yeah, but like, yeah, yeah, it's just weird.
The dank Rifa.
It's a strange name.
Which, by the way, we don't smoke.
I hope you guys have understood that.
Never.
Ever.
At any, any DJ party, I've ever done.
This has literally gone on three, four months now since 420 episode.
Like, we've literally been keeping us joking.
It's probably going to be forever.
Yeah, you're going to keep right.
What is that?
What is that?
You've done tried lines up?
I don't do lines.
I definitely don't do lines.
That's a true fact.
But I don't smoke either.
You snort as you say.
I know.
It's more about the cocky smoke.
Yeah.
You know.
Cocky snort.
All right.
So the point is, though,
I don't even know what the fuck big he's trying to say in that,
that verse honestly.
Like something about the DEA.
Don't fuck with him who bring his gad out.
He's got, yeah.
He's got the shit on the line.
Put your rollers in the sky.
Again, all right, the only example of, like,
problems that are presented in the song at all based on...
Are people trying to fuck with them?
Yeah, like, okay, so, and honestly, he was, he wasn't, he wasn't wrong.
Like, shit.
Like, that shit went down with him.
Honestly, if Biggie didn't have money, he might still be here today, actually.
Kind of takes back everything we just said.
Biggie found himself some problems because if he had more money.
Yeah, but not Mason Puff.
Mace got out of me.
He became like a church guy.
He became like a pastor or something, yeah.
And then he came back.
Puff definitely didn't.
Puff is, I mean, Puff is huge.
Puff skated off.
Puff damn near a billionaire at this point.
Yeah.
Well, he kind of like started, he started this whole, I'm telling you, like,
Puff's story is actually, like, a very interesting, like, both of them.
I'm always super fascinated by anything Biggie or Pock related and, like, kind of hearing about, like, how they became where they did.
Biggie was literally ready to give up the whole rap thing and go back to slang, and he got, he was driving to, like, North Carolina.
like go to because he knew that was a spot where he could like slang and Puffy like called him
turned him around.
How did he call him?
I said cell phones back then.
Yeah, like Zach Morris phones and shit.
Especially if you're a drug dealer, you gotta have that shit.
You definitely got him to turn around and be like, no, dude, we could make hits.
Call them back, got it back on the chain around him.
So when I saw that, I saw that.
I don't know.
I mean, that's a documentary I saw that I talked about.
There's a dope documentary on Netflix.
where it actually like has a bunch of like home video footage.
Yeah, I saw that.
That's a good one.
That was the one I saw that on.
Like he was literally going to,
Unsolved is the one that like has actors in it, that wasn't it?
Yeah, they mixed a good footage too.
No, no, no.
Actually, they had like, there's a documentary that had like,
somebody had a bunch of like home camera footage of big one of his boys.
Like he was like following him around with it.
I don't, I should have names for shit of this shit.
But like it's literally a documentary.
Go watch it, guys.
You can find it.
You can find it.
Google it.
Yeah.
But no, it's got some very like,
I think it's relatively new too, but it had a great story about how big he got to where he was.
And they were like combining wrapping up on the corner with straight jocking fools on the corner at the same time.
Like that was what they're doing.
It was a combination of the two.
It was like, yeah, we make a rap's on the corner, but also we robbing fools for this shit, like, straight up every day.
So he lived that life.
He was, like, ready to death.
Why wouldn't that, like, that's crazy.
Yeah, no, it was a crazy life that he was, like, living.
He was.
Like, I don't know how...
It's hard to think that he had, once he got more money, he got more problems.
because like if that was his life on a daily
you straight slang and...
There's definitely problems went down.
Yeah, but I mean, he had the ultimate problem
and that's how many end up not going to capitol.
I bet it was one of those fools he robbed early.
Possibly.
I mean, he was winning back to L.A.
shortly after Pock died,
so like people were out to get him, you know?
Because of Pock?
Yeah.
Crazy.
Like he was a marked man at that point.
Man, that's nuts.
I'm telling you, man, I'm super fascinated by like the whole story of those two.
The fact that that shit went down in...
Everybody's sight, and the fact that, like, nobody has answers on, like, who killed either one of them is fucking insane to me.
It's insane.
It is insane.
Exactly.
So, like, even...
It was the 90s, though, man.
Nineties was a...
Nineties was a crazy time, man.
But it produced bangor after bangor after banger, especially while this guy was going on.
It's actually insane is, like, how fucking young he actually was when he died.
Both of them were like...
Topok died at 25, I think it was.
I think he was, like, 24.
Yeah.
So, like...
I definitely saw them as way old.
It's insane.
Yeah, because he...
just came off as such like an old soul
and for some reason as I got older
I kind of aged them with me so like when I was
20s big he was like 40 to me
Do you realize how young 24 year olds are now
Like when you see someone at 24 year olds are now like
You're a fucking child baby
Baby stop no you can't take that many shots
I know you think you can yeah I know you think you can mix them all
Like I if I can take it no you can't
Okay I'll give you a fucking hour
And you'll be throwing up or being drama
Or some bullshit
Okay I don't trust 24 year olds with any
let alone a record label
fucking like beat a fucking spearhead
of my whole label on the shit
24 year old girl give some ditty
give ditty more credit for the fact that he
like saw this guy that was a young
ass kid slangin rocks in the corner in Brooklyn
and he was just like giving the keys of the shop
he's ready and he was and he fucking made it happen
in that short window of time of his life that we actually got to
experience it fucking crushed it
pulled shit off and did he set him up for
success with jams like this
He made this one happen.
They were parted their ass off.
Like, there's probably no weekend they were not.
You know what I mean?
That's like, that's crazy.
But at the same time, fucking handling business.
They were fucking making shit like this.
That's crazy shit.
There we go.
All right, man.
I think I already know the amount of cops you're giving it.
You know what I'm going with.
How are we going to slap this out?
Also, we can add that to the list of times that Justin clapped.
I always hit the microphone.
I don't know.
Every single time.
Every single time.
I don't know what it is.
But yeah, I got to give it.
This is the top.
mid-90s jam
great sample
great rappers
and they're all each of their
wraps
every verse
just crushes in a different way
although I must say
that I'm very proud
that we were able to dissect
the fact that they're not talking
about a fucking single problem
there's no problems
there's no problems no
it's literally all about like yeah we got money
and we're crushing it
going there
fuck with us we got gas
and the video
is the same thing
the video is just them like
and big fluffy outfits
yeah dude I'm telling you
like okay there's something about
the
mid-90s hip-hop scene
that I don't know what it is, but very
specifically like a mid-90s, like 95
to like 97.
That like just hits me in the
feels. I don't know what it was about.
I think that's maybe when I was like
as a kid like really like discovering
like how much I enjoyed music.
Definitely what it was. I was there too
man because Missy had that shit. I can't stand
and she had to be clubby. And there's a sound. Yeah, there's a certain
sound and look that like
goes right with the whole
mid-90s thing. And that's and this
And this is it.
Like, this song encompasses it.
The video.
Like, the clothes they're wearing, the bright colors, the big, like, they're kind of, I think
it's in, like, they shot it in Vegas.
There's, like, you know, shiny outfits.
They're kind of floating at one point.
They're, like, anti-gravity.
They keep in their face in the camera.
Yeah, yeah.
I love that.
Like, and that's what mid-90s had.
Those rap videos always had those cool-ass sets where it just looked like they were in a spaceship.
This had that bright colors.
The sound of it is there.
Everything about this says, this is the mid-90s we hear.
and we'd taken over and had loved it.
And it was also a good turn for hip hop
where it turned into like positive
we having fun music.
Where I think before that
I'd like rap and like you know that
old gangster rap culture that had been
that was like a lot more like kind of like
glamorizing thug culture.
And I think this was a nice turn for it
where I was just like no, we all have fun with this.
We're making this music.
We got money and we partying.
We partying.
Yeah.
So again, goes against the whole name of the song
but I'm like, I got that against him.
Did he was partying.
He was getting it.
He was getting it.
He's still getting it, you know?
And Mace, we miss you.
Fucking love the way Mace rapped.
I love Mace's kind of slurry, lazy style of rapping like that.
He was one of my early favorite rappers.
And I miss you.
I'm glad you found whatever you found.
Coming back.
I don't think he's going to.
Now it'll be all weird.
He'll be all like.
He's like, he became a pastor.
He came back.
He did that like Welcome Back song.
Remember that song?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Mace is back.
Yeah, that's all.
No, I don't know that.
You just sing it with me.
And you just literally don't remember.
That's like the only part
Brain works out
That's all you need to really know
But yeah
So it was fine
It was good to hear him back
But like yeah
There's nothing like mid-90s
Mays and I said
All right
Well like you once again
Mo money
No fucking problems
Mo money no problems
That's what the title
Should have been
That's what it is
And shout out to Biggie
Rest in peace
