Dosson, Dossil, Dossil. Duh. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her. Wish I had a rabbit and a hat with a bat. Six for and far. It's like six for nine so I can get with Lioshi, because she don't know me, but Yoshi's really fine.

You know, I see her all the time. Maybe where I go and even in my dreams, I can scheme away to make her mind. Cause I know she's living fat. A boyfriend's tall and he plays ball. So how am I gonna compete with that? Because when it comes to playing basketball, I'm always last to be.

And in some cases never pooped at all. So I just lean upon the wall. Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls who came to why they bandbarred. Dad y'all, I never understood black while the jocks get the fly girls. And me I get the hood rats. I tell them scats, kiddles, caboble, got hit with a bind when we're sitting in a hospital but talking that mess.

I confess it's a shame when you live in a city that's the size of a box and nobody knows your name. Glad I came to my tics. Like quick quick, I ticked to my stomach. Overcombe by thoughts of me and up together, right? So when I asked her, I said, I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl in a good I would call it I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a batheer I wish I was a baller I wish I had that girl with a good I would call Trying to get out of that, Sue Finally I just wanted to make sure that we got a good understanding of Ski-Lo's understanding

of what he is wishing for and he is wishing to be taller. Yeah, we could have figured that out within the first, I don't know, 25 seconds of the song, but Jag decided that... I want to play it out so we can get through the song so we could talk more. I want to play it a while so you guys get to beat down

and bounce and now we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about it anyways. We're going to get to the talking point. But yeah, so anyways, Joel, that was Ski-Lo, I wish. And it is the Disec DJs who like this. Spin it. Mix it. Spin it.

Turn it around. Upside down. And pound it out. I think it's like episode 82 or 83. And Jagg still doesn't know what the call sign is. Where the DJ is like to spin it? Mix it. Throw it back.

Antisects it. That's way better. You're really good. All you've got to do is think about what we actually do. I don't know. I thought, I mean, we do all that. It'll come to you. We smash it out and pound it out.

And we can add any verb to the end. You can add a verb to anybody. So we're, yeah, ski lows, I wish, something I've been listening to since I was a little guy going into high school. And all you ladies used to tap my head when I was a freshman in high school because I was only four foot nine. You guys would be like, oh, you're cute. And I'm like, I'm horny your shit. And I want to board every one of you. And the fact that you're tapping me out my head is some bullshit.

All right. So I was going to save this for later, but, like, you jump right into it. So I guess I got to just ask her out of the time. Like, does this song bring back traumatic memories as much as it does being, like, a fun jam that you always to jam to? No, it was something I used to listen to. But, like, dude, I wish I was 6'9 so I can get with Lioshi because she's really fine. Like, no, dude, seriously, this song, this song, like, hit me at its heart. Because when it came out and what were you going to come out?

Like, 1995. 1999. At 1995, at 1995, I was a solid four foot fucking three. Oh my God. What is that? Whatever. Anyway, I was short until about sophomore year of high school.

So I was four foot nine, four foot ten until I got my growth spurt, the summer of freshman year, where I finally got to like five foot five in like a whole summer. It like grew my ass off. But before that, I was the little guy that was like trying to flirt, but you're four foot ten. So you're not. What are you? You're the little guy.

You're the guy that wishes you were a little bit taller and wish you were a baller. And you wish you had a girl who looked good so you can call her. So just to play the run back on that, Justin said that he always wished that he was taller until he finally grew to be 5 foot 5. And then he was like...

I was happy with that. At that point from being 4'4 foot 9 to 5'5, you're happy. You're like, you know, I could deal with this. I could deal with this. Four foot 9, Stand amongst the many. If you're 4'9, 4'10 and you've been able to enjoy life without any kind of like discrimination and hating towards you.

And you're like, can play off the jokes. Go ahead and give us a call at 555-467-218-4. So we can hear your story because I got to hear this because I think you're lying. I didn't even catch that. You little bitch. What is it that you wanted people to call in on this one? If they're 4 foot 9 and they've been able to live a life that they're like play off the discrimination and the scrutiny that ends up happening to them being that height. Now, if you're, you know, a little person midget, that's the one thing.

I guess I cut all this because we're going to get trouble seeing all this shit. Damn. No, it's going then. You get in trouble with everything down. You always do that to me. You get in trouble with everything nowadays, man. No, you got to stop right. Oh, I'm trying to say.

All right. All right. You get made fun of it. Look, okay, we get, we should address this at this point, okay? Because I feel like there's been multiple episodes now where Justita's like, We gotta cut it. We gotta cut this. Look, okay, you get the real with Diasik Degis, okay?

The good thing is we're under enough the bridge to where nobody fucking knows. What the fuck we're saying, right? We fucking get away. Honestly, little people, little people. No, no, no, that doesn't mean fucking get. They make fun of two. So I'm not trying to focus on you. We're an equal opportunity fun makers.

But I'm just saying if you're 4'9 and you're like, you know what, fuck you. And you're feeling fine. And you're like, you know what? Nobody fucks with me. You're a gangster, dude. We want to hear from you. Because I couldn't do it. I'd be a little bitch.

I'd be fighting everybody. I would have Napoleon syndrome like you wouldn't believe. You know what I want? I would stab everybody's ankle. I want some Mugsy Bogue syndrome. Literally, I remember Mugsy Bogs being one of my favorite basketball players because he made me feel like there was a period of time when I was like, you know, shorter than a lot of the rest of the kids in the court.

And I felt like Mugsy was my. inspiration where I was like, you look at Mugsy, dude. He's in the NBA and he's five foot three. How is that possible? And it's actually crazy to look back at that and be like, yo, that dude not only was just did he make it to the NBA, he had like a 12 year career. He was around there for years. Like people always wanted to sign a Mugsy and not just to be on posters.

He was a prominent member of the Charlotte Hornets. And then he's, I remember watching him with a, people don't remember his run with the Golden State Warriors much, but I remember watching a game when they played the Lakers and he put up 27 points on him. He was with Chris Mullen? I think it was more in the Chris Weber days. You know, like, or Charles Spreewell. Spreewell is definitely in the team back down.

I actually think it was the first game that they bent Spreewell after he choked out PJ Carlos Mow. Oh, shit. And that was why he got so many minutes and he fucking dominated. So it was like he took control. And I didn't know why they bench Spreewell the entire second half. But apparently it came out later.

It was like, oh, because he choked their coach. So that, I don't know. That's too deep. NBA knowledge for a lot of people. I love the story Willow. Have you ever seen Willow? Yeah, you bring Willow up into like any conversation we have. How do you think Willow felt about this song?

And we're talking about short people. So yeah, that's going to have yeah. All right, well describe Willow in like eight words if you could because like most people probably don't know what it is. Little people that go on a big adventure. Featuring Val Kilmer. You see Val Kilmer. Yeah, that was pretty much it.

All right, real quick, before we continue to start, he says the last one I missed, because a girl who looked good if he would call her. But beyond that, it says, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat. And a six four Impala. I get the six four Impala. That's a car, obviously. What the fuck is a rabbit in a hat with a bat? It rhymes. It's a good rhyme.

That's it? Yeah, that's it. So you really doesn't want a rabbit in a hat with a bat? Well, I think it goes along with the whole I wish thing, you know, like a rabbit. I haven't had is like a magician thing So it's like, can I wish? What's the bad about? It just rhymes with the rest of that verse.

That's the stupidest. Yo, in 1995, you didn't need every line to like completely comply. Honestly, I feel like he just fit that and just to fit that. Yeah, exactly. And usually you're all about that because you're trying to make rhymes happen for no reason. I ain't not getting paid for it. He got paid for this shit. Yeah, and guess what?

He got paid fucking boatloads for it. His name is Antone. Name another song by Skilo. And Tony Rome Tree Roundtree by the way Yeah So can you name another song

But Tony Browntree? And he's from Pow K Brown Powcis Holy shit There's no way What you're trying to read

It's hard Pauca You try to read it Palo Alto Is that what you're trying to say? No right there Okay yeah that word is stupid Try to say it

Try to say it Try to say it Try to say it Say it to the mic Pekipsy I believe that's Poughkeepsie But it looks like insane He's much

more fluent in language than I am. It's a crazy... As you guys have noticed through our years. So, real quick, let's get into the story. He wishes he was 6'9 so he can get with Lioshi because, man, she don't know him, but she's really fine.

And I see... He sees her all the time, everywhere he goes, even in her dreams. He tries the scheme of things to make her mind. So he's this little guy. He sees Leosci.

So the Yoshi's apparently real fine, and he's trying to get with her. Because I know she's living fat. Her boyfriend's tall, and he plays ball. So how am I going to compete with that? This is a super relatable shit. So he's a little guy.

He's the girl that he's like dreaming of and he's like, oh man, she only goes for the tall ballers. Yeah. Because when it comes to playing basketball, he's always last to get picked. Yeah, he's picked. He's always last to get picked. In some case, he's never picked at all. So he just leans up on the wall. Hold up.

Can we stop right there? Yeah. Justin, do you have any memories of being on the basketball court and not getting picked at all? No, I was always fucking, everybody always knew me on the fucking court. Okay. I was like quick motherfucker. going to get steals and hustle. Yeah, but what have you came to a court that nobody knew you?

Have you, you've never walked to a gym where nobody knew you and like nobody? Yeah, I guess I've had that because they already had their squads together. It's like, you're the 11th and it's like, yo, let me get on. And you haven't had an opportunity to show them what you can do on the court. Even so, they have their five and their five just repeat and shit. I've had that. I've had that, but I mean, no, yeah, I fucking hate that. You know what?

Yeah, yeah. Whenever that shit happens. Can I just like throw out to... Hold up. You're getting me mad right now, dude. I'm getting angry. I don't. Well, let me just, like, harness this anger and be like, to the people of the world that have not dealt with it,

do you understand the kind of motivation and anger that gets promoted, that gets harnessed when you have been an experience where you're on the court and you're just ready to play? And all you're trying to do is play, right? You're not even trying to, like, be like, yo, I got to show out. Like, I just need to get my workout in. I get my shots up. I want to get some running. And then you end up sitting on the side. and then every single time you try to get into the game

maybe it feels like sometimes there's a little inside clicky thing going Maybe there's people that go to this gym a lot That you don't go to And then suddenly they're just like They keep just like making a thing happen where it's almost So you gotta force your way into a fucking game Yeah yeah

Or how about that one asshole that goes After he just loses I got next Even though there's three fucking next games We all know And he's six foot four Two fucking 40 So nobody wants to compete with that

I just say no to him. I used to talk shit to him and then they fucking come out to me. I'm like, you want to fucking fuck with me. Oh, you won't back down from that full. No,

I'm not backing down to him because I'm really, you want to fuck with me at 5, 9, 6, 4, fuck you do you want to, I fucking come at him, but I'm like, you're bullshit for coming that bullshit. And then I have to get kicked out

the game because he still get next. He would still punk me out of the fucking game because all his boys would have his back. And I'd be like, no, that's bullshit. Just fuck him, dude. And you know what? What's this?

I've actually been there when these kind of things happen and Justin and it's actually it's funny but at the same time it's aggressive because like his face gets like so red it's like the color bullshit I hate that shit but no I agree with you because

I've had these situations too that I hate when it's like the people on the court the general teams like they kind of have a there's a crew that's already dominating and you're kind of maybe trying to infiltrate and you're just trying to get a run in real quick let me just get a run in and then because they kind of have the

court dominated they think that they can punk all of you, you know, because I had my own experience with that once. Oh, yeah. And I'll never forget it. I got to my gym, right? The local 24-hour fitness. And they had a, like, system. I was, like, new to going to the basketball gym there.

And they were like, oh, yeah, if you want to get on the game, you got to put your name down over here. And I was like, all right, well, I got my name down. So, blah, blah, like, all right, I should be able to get it at this point. I'm kind of waiting around. I'm shooting on the side. I'm like, there's a lot of names before me. It's okay. I'll get my shots up.

I get in the game, like two or three. And then at a certain point, game ends. Of the five that just played, the next game starts, four of the motherfuckers are back on the court. And now I'm not usually one like you to just be like, yo, I've got to start a whole scene right now. But I was like, no, fuck this. I've been waiting for like three or four games.

And I've just been sitting here quietly minding my own business, taking shots on the sideline, doing layups, doing free throws when they're on the other side of the court. So I was like, wait, hold up, hold up. You guys all just played in the last game. What the fuck happened? And they were like, oh, well, he was up. next so he gets to pick his squad and he just picked the rest of us that just played and i was like

fuck that one of the few times in my life you'll see me go pranorego which is what we called jesson he goes off like he just said and i get i let him all have i was like this bullshit i've been waiting for like over an hour to get in this game you called them all out on their bullshit and i walked off and i was like i'm gonna work out my chesticles you know my pecks need a workout anyways i'm Fuck I know I park by the house I'll take shots up there Hold up you didn't get to play No I wasn't gonna play with these motherfuckers

Oh dude I would have got on the fucking court I would have fucking stout I'm standing on the fucking court So one of you motherfuckers gets the fuck off If not nobody's fucking playing I'm like to know right now Now I'm turning to that fucking guy now I'm turning to fucking 10 year old Because you motherfuckers are trying to pull this bullshit

You want to try to pull this bullshit Then you get this motherfucker That's what I'm trying to tell you right now I turn into a fucking asshole dude And don't forget those cameras You want to fucking fight me There's fucking cameras coming out There's shit.

And I have an argument to this point. I come over and I'm, don't fuck with me, dude. I turn a little, I didn't even give the opportunity. I'll turn to a little bitch. I didn't even give the opportunity for them to get me the game

because once I started going off of them. And Bruchess hates when I get it. I'm broches came over here. He hates it. Oh, sorry, Bobo. Sorry, Bobo. And Bruchess is actually like, sat up.

He had been laying down for a while. And then once me and he both started yelling, like he was just like, wait, wait, wait, what's going on? Do you guys need me? Do you guys need me? Do you need me to fight somebody for you? Yeah, no

I think I don't even I didn't give the opportunity For them to let me in the game Because like once I was going off And then I was just like I'm out Give me my fucking ball I'm out of this bitch I'm not playing this court again

And I did I, to this day I still never go back into that gym and play If I want to play somewhere else I go somewhere else Because I don't trust their system I get it though So yeah

No Skela we with you Sometimes the bullshit Politics at the court Is some bullshit Doesn't matter how tall or big you are Nothing sometimes these motherfuckers just got this shit run under their fucking thumb and it's

fucking sick so like hey sometimes you wish you were taller sometimes you wish you were baller sometimes you just wish you motherfuckers have respect so these motherfuckers put me on the court because you motherfucker I've been waiting for fucking games for you guys to put me on the fucking court and you guys get disrespect me by fucking

fuck you guys man hey to all the motherfuckers out there that do that shit that call next even though you didn't have next treat the motherfuckers on the side of respect realize that they know their You know why they're there and they know why they're there and they're not trying to cause that trouble. They just want to get on the cordon ball. Straight up.

Stop being a bitch. Y'all took four years off my life of balling just because of that incident. Straight up. Skido, tell us more about this. Get it. Community Castle are going to fucking wrestle right now. Boer or ball? Right.

That would have been a great entry. Or maybe we'll just ball it out. Fuck you. I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a back. I wish I had a brand new car. So far I got this hatchback. And everywhere I go you, I get slacked at. And when I'm in my car, I'm laid back.

I got an A-track and a spare tire in the back seat, but that's black. And do you want to know what's really wack? See, I can't even get a date to what you think of that. I heard that prom night is a bomb night with a hood rat, you can't even get a pleado. When in my car, I can't even get a hello. Well, so many people want to cruise Crenshaw on Sunday. One day I'm gonna have to get in my car and go.

You know, I take the one tear until the 101 5. Get off on Crenshaw, tell my homies live, because it's hard to survive. When you're living in a concrete jungles, and these girls keep passing me vibe. So that just We haven't broken We haven't broken down any lyrics to the song

We did a couple of them I got into the rabbit Rabin in the hat and the six being six foot nine And getting with a Yoshi and then we got into basketball And then we got into because when it comes to playing basketball Me and you just went off on a fucking tangent That's where we went fucking good. Oh, let's get off on this fucking exit.

Because we both had some experiences. We're going to hang out this city for the next 30 fucking minutes because that's what we did, dude, straight up. Yeah. We're going to go ahead and pull off on the corner of 21 and Lewis and discuss this for a second, okay? Yeah, that's right. We both had some intimate moments of where we had some issues on pickup games. So anyways, where do we pick up where he was just getting after?

He was a little bit taller. And he gets in the next verse where he goes, I wish I had a brand new car. So far, I got this hatchback. And everywhere I go, yo, I get laughed at. And when I, in my car, I get, I'm laid back. I got an 8 track and a spare tire in the back seat, but that's flat. First of all, why didn't he just pump up his fucking tire?

That's not you, motherfucker. Get a spare tire that works, dude. You know how bug it is? $45 probably. I mean, it don't cost much. I mean, it's more expensive now than it was there. First of all, why do you have a flat tire in the back? Okay, that should never be in the back to your right

You know that you have a spare tire A spare tire should always be working And if you know that yours is flat And you're setting yourself up for failure You still got an 8 track With 95 you should have like You should definitely have a tape player at that point Right?

I think that's what it is though right I don't know what an 8 track I can play like eight different things though I thought it was an A track Is that just 8 track or an A track? Eight track I think Yeah A track had I don't know what the fucking A track is that

I'm pretty sure that that was a tape deck that could play eight different tapes. Okay. So, like, that's fine, yeah. He was stepping it up with that. Yeah. So he had that. Then he had a spare tire that was flat like an idiot and he didn't pep that up, which is like, yo, like, that's not a good idea. Ski-Lo, I'm with you on most this if you're going for sympathy in this track.

But that's part, you're fucking up. That one I'm going to look at you for. And then let's go the next one. You want to know what's really whack? See, I can't even get a day So what you think of that? I heard that prom night Is the bomb night

And the hood rats Can hold tight But really though I'm Figuero When I'm in a car I can't even get a hello Where are you? I'm looking for the lyrics

You're talking about But in the second verse two Verse two But really though I'm Figuero Oh I see Mine's got a bunch of fucking stupid ads I keep got a roll through All right

Yeah here we are See I can't even get a date So what do you think of that? Do that, I'm like, all right, look, I'm with you on a lot of these things, Ski-Lo, okay? I understand that you're dealing with, like, you're be short, you're trying to go run game at the basketball court, and they keep looking at the tall dudes that could ball

and, like, you're not getting picked at all. And I get that. A couple things. Get a fucking spare tire that works. Important. And also, you should be old enough to figure out how to get a date at some point here. Like, you know, figure out how to, like, maximize your strengths, okay? Get a sense of humor.

Sounds like you can rap. Go to the park where they're, like, start spitting rhymes and then just start fucking killing flows on the sideline, you know? Like, start doing that. Hey, guess what? While all the guys are playing in these video, he's sitting there with, like, nine girls around him because they're all watching the guy. You should be killing game right there.

Just be sitting there. Start, like, clowning on the fools playing that are, like, missing layups and, like, got their shoes untied and shit. shit like you know maximize your strengths homie and also and nowadays there's probably facebook groups or there's like little people meetups like five foot five and under like there's guaranteed there's some things you can get into that like people you just got to do the research you think there's still facebook groups that like people attend no but not facebook unless you're like not facebook unless you're like a hardcore like we are facebook is not going to be made we are republican

we are republican strong or some bullshit facebook will be the next my space in the next five years it It already is. Facebook's almost done. The only reason they're going to be successful is because they buy Instagram and all the other fucking companies. But that's the only reason. And then those are funny. In any case, he keeps going to Crenshaw. You know, I got to be honest, you look, try some different cities, man.

Hermosa's like not even 20 minutes from there. Beautiful city. Fucking fantastic views. Try that out. You got Rondondondos close to Crenshaw. You've got Long Beach. Try some new courts. Try the beach areas.

Also. You're 20 minutes from the beach if you're close to Crenshaw. 20 minutes. I think Facebook already took themselves to MySpace way and changed their name and tried to like re-imit themselves. Oh, yeah, they fucked up. I mean, I don't know. They fucked up. But like, I just think that like they've already saw the writing in the wall and be like, yo, all we got to do is just changing into meta and just see, let's see what this does for us. And I don't know. They're fucking up. Made a commercial where it's like a bunch of dinosaurs dance. You know, we do that. We do that here. You know, he takes the 110 until the 105. I know exactly where that is. Yeah, me too. 105 is how I get home. Oh, he's there.

He's probably, is he going to, he's going to LAX, is what he's. Yeah, but or if you drive through LAX, you end up at the beach, and that's where I ride to. So you take that coastal route. Fantastic ride, by the way. That's how you end up in Hermosa. Get off on Crenshaw until the homies look alive, because it's hard to survive when you're living in the concrete jungle, and the girls keep passing me by. She looks fly. She looks fly.

Make me say, my, my, my, my. I wish I had a girl in a hat with a bat. Six more tall. I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl in a good, I would call it. I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a back. I wish I was a little bit taller.

I wish I was a baller. I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a little bit taller y'all. I wish I was a baller. I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a falling. Hey, I wish I had my way, because every day will be a Friday,

and you can even speed on the highway. I would play ghetto games name. My kiddo's ghetto name. Little monkey, the Al-Arain. Yo, you know that's on the real. So if you're down on your left, and you should know just how I feel, because if you don't want me around,

see, I go simple, I go easy, I go Greyhound. Hey, you, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down. Ah, yes, ain't that fresh? Everybody wants to get down like that Wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl

I looked good I would call it I wish I had a rabid I wish I was a little bit Cool I actually Like the last verse That he kind of came with At the end

It's like a little bridge actually It's like a great bridge I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I was a taller And then he goes Hey I wish I had my way Because every day

It would be a Friday And you could even speed On the highway And in all honesty I wish there was one lane that you could just, this lane goes as fast as they fucking can on their car. Like this, this,

if you're in this fucking car, you can go as fast as you fucking want. Well, they have that. It's just that everybody wants to get in that lane, so then it's slow that shit down. No, that's just a fast lane, I don't want to fucking,

this is the fast lane. You think that the rest of the cars in the highway respect that? I'm just saying. Tell you right now. I don't care. If I'm riding your bunk-ass, Mitsubishi Mirage, which gets 28 miles of gas station,

I would still be fucking trying to fly in that highway every single time. I mean, I wouldn't get in it. I'm just saying it would be dope if I had a car there. Anyway, he would play, he would play ghetto games. Now, he doesn't, he doesn't go any more deeper into that. What are ghetto games? Dominoes, dice, games that you grew up playing, you feel more creeds, like that. Is that what you're?

Yeah, probably. I don't know. Hey, those are the games. Let me let you all motherfuckus know. y'all y'all i'm taking you a motherfucking buddy i'll tell you that right now shit oh shit all right name my kids don't play with a crew that war j gets hustled yeah because he's gonna take you guys get it episode whatever four episodes ago 79 name my kiddo names little mookie big al lorraine i could see little mookie that seems kind of somewhat ghetto which you name you kid big out

that motherfucker better big unless he's little if he's coming from skill oh unless he's little Unless he's little. And he's coming from Skiilo, that's probably going to be very little. But you know what I mean? Like, you can go opposite with it. Like,

if it was Willow. Do we have a height on Ski-Lo, by the way? Let me have to look that up. Yeah, look that up. And then Lorraine. I don't understand how Lorraine is a ghetto name. It just arrived with the last thing. He doesn't have any ghetto names for girls.

He's just like, and Lorraine. Which is the name that could very much be various cultures. It could be, it could be, like, very, like, that's just a funny, like, like, throw it at the end. Five-foot-a.

eight. It's not even that shirt. Literally my height. Like, you asshole. Damn, this song has got a really... I hate this. Well,

the thing is, as we noticed... I'm almost a scrub. I'm almost a want to be a baller, but not... You haven't done that song yet. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

It's a different one. Whatever. You and I was going at. Uh, yeah, and now Skila's calling you. Um, well,

the thing about the video that we noticed is funny earlier is that, uh, they, they shoot it in a way where everybody just like a giant, around him and he looks like a damn little person yeah he looks extra small which is how I feel in life

well we also got to point out that okay this video came out in like 95 and like the whole thing he shot with like this forest gump image like he starts it on the bench he's got his like chocolates and everything yeah they got the big dude just like choked some off and shit yeah can I just be honest

with this is how honestly he there's been many of times now in my family specifically I'm actually one of the tallest ones in my family. Damn. I'm not even kidding. I go there. There's my cousin Raphael, who's a bit bigger than me.

And then there's me. And then there's everyone else that's about three inches shorter than me, the entire family. It's just how I'm like, I feel like a tall one. That was great. And then I go out with my boys, Castle, Mestizo, and then Los, who are all six foot, about one or two-ish. And me at five-foot fucking nine. and although 5'9 is very short You have three motherfuckers sitting around you

At six foot fucking one or two You feel like a little guy And you know what You know what? My testosterone starts fucking going Yeah I'm ready to fuck all fights Having those three around me makes me want to fight No no wait wait

You went the wrong way with that Because I thought you were about to give Skelo lesson because the fact is I've been out with you Los Mestis And who's the other one you even threw out there Is it? Okay Yeah I've been out with all

all of us. And guess who's the first one out of all of us that's just like, yo, jump into the party and get everybody paying attention. That's you, motherfucker. Oh, well, thank you. So you. It's because I feel like I'm fucking. Great.

You got to not bringing enough to the party, not enough height to the fucking issue. And so you're like, hey, I'm going to make sure everybody has a reason to watch me. And then you've got the best dance moves on the floor. And then everybody knows this right away. By the way, I had to figure that out because you guys is fucking height. Yes. Had I not be, if I was taller, I would not be a good dancer because I only, learn dancing because I had to fucking fight the height difference that you

motherfuckers bring into the table and shit. Okay, so that's the point I'm making with Ski-Lo in this video is he's making this song, albeit this is the jam that got him on the block and everybody knew his name, but he's sitting there and he's just kind of like pouting. Like, I'm not tall, man. I wish I had this and I wish I was that. And it's just like, we look at the video and he's surrounded by nine girls in the bleacher and it's like, I don't know, make some jokes.

Look at Kevin Hart. You think Kevin Hart would sit there with nine girls around? around him and not fucking start like pulling some game you know like and start dancing for him do shit i agree i agree and then he's saying i wish i a little bit taller there's no way you can do anything about that right nothing about taller unless you had a rabbit hat with a bat maybe no but i'm just saying i've never seen a rabbit hat with bat so yeah you still i agree but the next sentence is i wish i was a baller now that's on you that's on you practice son you don't have to be height you don't have to be tall you just got to figure some shit out of hand on what you think alan iverson

sat at home being like i wish i was a baller or did he just get out and get his basketball and start working on his handles. Don't you dare think Alan Iverson was short, okay? Everybody likes to, like, put this in the NBA. He was a little bit. Fucking one or two. Yeah, but how small did he look out there? He didn't give a shit, dude.

He was scoring on anybody, dude. He's scoring on Shaq. He's scorer on Kobe. He's crying, Matsumbo. All these short guys, I'm like, they're not short, though. You never realize. He's scour out of Hakeemala. Steph Curry.

He's so small. He's 6-2. He's six-2. He's beyond. I don't look at Steph is short, but AI looked particularly. I don't even think he's six foot. I think he actually is like 511.

AI was particularly small. I'm looking at him next. So was Peyton. They were all at 511, I guess. Peyton, who's Peyton? Gary. Oh, Gary Payton. Well, when you say Peyton without a name, I think of many.

As he's looking at that up, I'm going to continue this on, like, you know, yo, you know, that's on the real. Alan ever said it was six foot. Yeah, they're 511. That feels a little. Definitely, definitely 5'10. You know, you know on the real. So if you're down on your luck, you should know just how I feel, because if you don't want to be around. See, I go simple.

I go easy. I go Greyhound. This motherfucker He had a hashback earlier though. Call it up Greyhound. With a spare that was flat. What happened of that?

Well, that's what happened, dude. He got a flat. He looked in his spare. He had a hat's back. With his eight track. By verse three, he's on Greyhound. Yeah, by verse three he's on Greyhound. Yeah, that car must have broke the hour on his ass.

And then... Hey, you. What's that sound? Everybody looks. Which a great way to end the song, but it still doesn't make any sense. Ain't that fresh. No, you know what that did is? Distracted us all that he's done on the Greyhound now.

Yeah, he's on the bus. And then before we could even like, wait, Ski-Lo, what happened in the hatchback? I thought you were to hate you. Like, all he had to do was- Oh, you didn't fix this. Everybody look, what's going down. He figured it out. He didn't fix the spare.

Yeah, he never did. You never did. Pop the tire. Couldn't drive the spare. Couldn't drive the car. And now he had to get on the bus. Ah, yes. Ain't that fresh.

Should have fixed that fucking spare. down like that and then he just goes right back to the cars. Is that something that we can look up? Did Skelo come over? He is definitely a one-hit wonder. How come? Which imagine like being like the whole,

imagine like the virtue of this. Okay, so he wished so much that he was a taller person and that he was more of a baller that he made a track about it. And that shit is what ended up getting in play, right? So then that becomes the only thing. thing that gets in play and thus this is the only thing that he was ever known for the fact that he wasn't taller that he wasn't a baller and that he had a ragged ass of paula i don't know what

the fuck i forgot he didn't have my ball he just had a hatchback and yeah that ended up being a greyhound by the end of the track yeah he had a track in the back seat that's fine yeah anyways i you know what i got a i got so what if that was all that you were known for though and like the the one thing that you were known for was that you didn't have a warn a baller you weren't taller there's no chance that he is a happy individual at this point of his life I don't know I think he still gets a realties and that shit on the regular

we're playing it right now no I'm not we played it on a track that there's no way no chance he gets royalties on the way I play that hey scratch that like you fuck you hey now he paid you shit Ski and I'm talking shit of your thing and I just want to let you know

you know what? You didn't give yourself You know what you were self-deprecating? You hated on yourself About certain things about your height And you should have emphasized Certain things that were better about yourself Like your rapping abilities

Your ability to play ghetto games And come up with fucking fantastic ghetto names Little Mookie, Big Al, Lorraine Great job Like, you know Glad I came And now you learn how to take the bus routes And you understand the dynamics

of social what is it when you drive around social driving social networking social social Uber Lyft

social driving around talking about ride share is that what you're going for when I ever get to a point where we're like I don't know how much more we can talk about

that I think I brought up every short thing We start struggling we like how many ways we can talk about a person being short wrote in a bomb night being a bomb night and a mom by the way my mother is a four foot nine and a half

oh man justin's mom is adorably short but like like the loud like the most most powerful person in the room like you will not notice anybody in the room more than her justice's mom she's there and she was a correctional officer at the jail prison for 20 years she could fuck with anybody she like she would poop yeah i'm gonna do so i respect all short people i have i consider myself a short even though I'm normal size according to the dictionary I'm exactly normal size I still wish I was a fucking 6 foot 2 like this man or he wants to be 6 foot 9 could we go back to that real quick he out the gate yeah he's wishing for a lot there out the fucking gate 6 foot 9 dude that's a little 5 foot 8th anybody that 6 foot 9 doesn't

want to be 6 4 they'd rather be 6 4 unless you got like a real shot of the NBA that's it or some sports a thing but other than that they want to be 6 foot 4 6 9 is aggressively Yeah, because then people are, what are people are always asking that guy? Like, guarantee you, how tall are you? Could we take a picture with you? Yeah, and I'm afraid to have a seven foot, I hung around with him one time and like, he literally did not have any conversation that wasn't about how tall he was. Period. The whole time. And that was just the one day I spun with him.

Yeah, it was. Yeah, nobody was 6'9 wants to be 6'9 unless they're making money off of that height. Other than that, they want to be 6'5 or under. Especially if you're like a gangly 69. You're not even like a 5-9. Yeah, he can't even like, athletically six-nine. Like your shoulders are kind of hunched and you're kind, it's kind of like your awkwardly six-nine. Exactly, dude.

You feel like, yeah. So, so I don't know why. Ski-Lo, all I'm saying is, you know, manage your wishes, okay? If you get one wish, you wish? You should have wished to come up with a second track so you can make more royalties off yourself. Like, what the fuck?

One track? Like, people liked you after this. You could have come up with like, oh, I don't wish I was tall no more. And then like that could have given it I wish I don't tell no more because I'm about to go flow and I don't know dude You had you had a you had popularity after this one song How come you didn't expand? How can we didn't replicate? How could you be didn't Invigorate and then it stimulate and then obviously

I violate you know you got pigeonholed Yeah everybody saw him as the guy who wishes he was taller and they're like yo if you were a little taller Maybe you could expand outside of that hole of a pigeon. But all I see is, cuckoo! All right, slap this out. Three slaps and four snaps. That's it.

Keep it simple. Great song. Straight up middle 90s song. Brings me back to my childhood because I was a short guy, and I remember this song specific because I wish I was taller. But it makes me sad because he could have been a baller being short. He could have been with a baller being short. he could have been with

Leoshi he just had to you know find out what she wanted to find out about her qualities you know he could have pumped up his fucking tire you know that's all he had to do

pump up your fucking tire and then your spare tire that's flat in the back is no longer flat so I just wish So how are you going to compete with that yeah I just wish he would have been a little more

um although he wishes he was taller he could have done more about it And that makes me sad that he didn't do more. So therefore he doesn't get a full four claps. But classic 90s song, it's one of those songs that I can play a DJing to this day. And you don't want to play the whole thing, but you can play part of it and people will like enjoy. And because of that, three claps, four snaps.

And what do you think of that? I don't think you need to be sad that Ski-Lo didn't have more of a baller or whatever it is yet. You just said you were sad about, you're gonna be sad about Ciloh. Seals was fine. He made a bunch of cash on the song. I don't think he did. I don't think he did.

Dude, we're still talking about it today. I bet he had no... He had fours-gump. I bet he signed off his royalties immediately like an idiot. Do you think he had to pay royalties for us? I bet you're using the imagery? Absolutely. Oh man, that would have fucked him.

Tom Hanks was definitely like, uh, Wilson needs his money. Wilson, the fucking volleyball? I went deep with Tom. It was a dude. All right. Ski-Lo, I wish. My rating.

Out of five slaps goes. That was three slaps and two high snaps. Two very far away snaps. Yeah. Almost unreadable snaps. Okay. Explain that. Because mid-90s track, super mid-90s basic, hip-hop track.

Yeah. No, it was all right. I was happy with it. And it still gets me moving. But it's not a song that I'm ever like, hey, I got to play Ski-Lo right now. It's literally a song that you only play when you're like, all right, you know what?

Let's see. You want to hear a throwback that takes you back to the specific place? And then it almost like you got one verse in you. And that intro is classic. Let's not sleep on the intro. Hello? Hello? Yeah, there you go.

You kept trying to jump me with that. I was waiting for you to drop it. I mean, you had to wait for me get to that part. You're taking too long. I got to the part when it happened in the song. Did you speed up? I was just trying to speed you up. Anyways, yeah.

So it's just kind of very mid-ling's 90s song. When I think of like mid-90s hip-hop, it's not like the top of the chat, but it's not a bad song. So, you know, 3-3. And then that's just because I wanted to give it like some, you know, energy on the side. You know, why?

Because I can reach much higher than Ski-Lo can get to because I got more than 5'8 on my system. But, you know. You do. It is. It is what it is. It is, sorry. I don't wish I,

was tally I'm ready yeah he is so just has been holding his like next clap for the whole time I gave my rating can you wait at least a little bit like did I have

did you did yeah oh that's what I was waiting for I know but like you gotta realize that the whole time that I'm giving my rating you're giving me the like next clap ready to go no no I was doing the next oh you were gonna do your rating yeah but I already did my reading

yeah yeah what did I give I was like three And it was like middling shit I think you gave him like three slaps and four snaps And I think I gave him three slaps and two snaps So I don't know We gotta keep track of this shit sometime

Hey Somebody write down what our readings are I'll through the rating Next
