The Donnell Rawlins Show, live in your face! Fuck that bitch ass nigga, you'll never take my place, you jigger! Thank you. What's your favorite vodka, Katie? And before you even answer this, for some people to just introduce this podcast, Katie is the new comedian star. The streets say she's funny as hell. She's from Australia, which doesn't mean anything other than she has an accent that she uses in her favor whenever she wants to. And that would probably be when being pulled over by the police or being any question about the black community. I'm not going to comment on that. You don't have to comment.

See, the accent came out very, very strong. Comment. Earlier she said she's not going to comment, but she's not going to comment. You want me to do another? And I'm going to tell you what she's an expert in. She's an expert in comedy. She's an expert in hip hop.

She's an expert. Who is your favorite member of Wu-Tang Clan? Who is my favorite member of Wu-Tangang clan who is my favorite member of wu-tang clan yes um i think probably all of them that's not a good question the good answer all of them okay who the the main one the main one main one that's the main one that sounds like you just said you know you people people. Whoa. How many members of the Wu-Tang Clan are there? There's got to be at least two.

Yeah. They got two grandkids now. You're talking about two. What do you mean the Wu-Tang Clan has two grandkids now? Members of the Wu-Tang Clan? They're in a relationship? No. First off, no ditty pause if you're saying the Wu-Tang members of a relationship no the first off no diddy pause if you send a wu-tang is in a relationship and if old dirty bass was alive today he would really chin check

you right now we had an episode when we talked about which i found to be uh a great intro song the two haters they reported me to human, they're sitting across from me right now. They didn't like that. They made a big fuss about it. They said that my intro song was too long. And I'm like, how can an intro song that you give, that the RZA gives you, be too long? And it's almost like being a culture vulture and disrespecting what real hip-hop culture is not to respect a track that RZA produced for you for your podcast I don't really I don't know what else to to say like it just how about this how about humbling yourself enough to say that anything RZA touch turns to gold

what's up Daniel hold on you put these on So who is this Who is this This This Yeah This is my favorite one Your favorite one who Of the group Who is this? This This Yeah This is my favorite one

Your favorite one who? Of the group Of who? Of the Wu-Tang Clan And who is this? This has gotta be the one and only RZA Almighty Wu, Wu-Tang forever

So you trying to I know if I figured They'd punch you right now Look You look like Wu-Tang is something to fuck with never never none to fuck with you was the one talking about the intro I didn't say nothing bad about it I just was I was just saying for the for Donnell's vibe

it didn't it wasn't what it needed to be like no disrespect to you and your clan and the music the bagad gita did you you end up reading it ever i don't read like that i look at magazines we talked about that you ruined my you do you know you ruined my you ruined my you first off you kept interrupting me no that's not what i did that's why i hooked you up with the i didn't look i didn't keep interrupting you and First off, I did not expect to be on a podcast

with you and Joe Rogan. If anybody want to go back to that episode, I was there. No disrespect, God. How does it feel? No disrespect. That's what I'm saying.

I'll just tell you this. I had every intention to leave that day. I did an episode and I hadn't seen my son in a while and i said let me go to which rogan said that you were going to show up and be a part of this podcast and i was like i don't okay whatever i don't i can't stay i haven't seen my son in a while i'm about to leave and then you gets out of the car and says wu-tang and then i said fuck my son.

Wu-Tang and nothing to fuck with. I'm staying for that. And I never want to be there. And another thing people don't know about the interview with you was that you were trying to be funny. Do you remember this? Do you remember this? Yo, yo, yo, B. Yo, yo, yo, yo, son.

I got this idea, right? I want to do comedy in a different way, right, yo? What I'm going to do is I want to take jokes that don't work and then I'm going to flip them, bang to which i told you that was the dumbest idea i ever heard so can you please stop saying you in quotes i don't know why he's doing this i'm saying what is this i'm saying you're in quotes you know what i would like to talk about is that last on the last episode donnell actually came out for vegans and said we don't have to cater to vegans on this podcast. What do you think?

No, that's not what I said. No, he said that. I didn't say we don't have to cater to vegans. He said that. I said, fuck vegans. And the reason why I say that is because most of them got a punk-ass attitude. They think they're better than everybody. No other people that eat whatever go out.

Is that how you view me? Yes, I view you. Yeah, I think you're one of them arrogant vegans. You're talking like that to RZA right now. Why did you get me confused with Lizzo? First off, because she thinks... That's a good question, Katie. She's like, for me.

Well, you know... No, I heard the letters in the name are really similar. RZA, Lizzo, like there's a Z. You get caught up in the Z sometimes. You get caught up in the jizzle. Yo, where you from? I'm from Australia. You ever seen a platypus?

Yeah I have I heard they don't really exist No they're real They're out there I never seen one in real life Continue What I'm saying is To Darissa Of the almighty woo

Of almighty woo Like I respect it I respect you I respect what you've done for hip hop I respect a lot of that. But I didn't respect the fact that you gave me a beat for my show and then took it back without me telling me and got me flagged everywhere. And I can't make no money off of it.

The beat got sold, but the people are talking shit on the beat here anyway. I do not appreciate all I've done for hip-hop. I expect a little bit more respect. Katie, are you familiar? So you're familiar with Dove RZA, right? Yeah, yeah. So what was the episode on Chappelle's show that him and his boys, the two members of the Wu-Tang, did that people went crazy for?

You're asking me what was the episode on the Chappelle's show that? Yeah. I can't tell. What was it? You know so much. Wu-Tang for that. That's what I was going to say. Right?

And it was telling you about bonds and all that type of stuff. Oh, wow. Like the big short? I don't know what the big short is. It's like a white guy finance movie about the crash. We don't care about that. Black Lives Matter, man. I'm not talking about that shit.

All day every day. We got Black History Month coming up in six or seven months. That's what we're focusing on right now. All right. I got a question for you since you've risen, right? And there has been stories that sometimes you like to partake in having a good time, right? And I would say that would go as far as different alcohol you like, right? How do you feel about the black people disconnection from sarok do you feel any

special way about that you know what i say first and foremost what is it tony tony you i know your name tony or robert or something go ahead will it's the reasons bobby digital if you're unfamiliar you know what I'm saying it's up to I leave it to the individuals that scratch you see black people since the beginning of time you know we've been kept down but we had to support Diddy at one point in time he owns

the rock but with the allegations and the you know what I'm saying it's just I'm stuttering with RZA. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Bro, can we have beef?

No, we don't. No, not really beef where I want to like have a physical confrontation, but mental beef because I think it's fair that you got me excited about a beat and then took it back. Like took it back and not even let me know. You sold it. And never gave me any options of anything else well luckily i'm one of the greatest producers of all time i can make you another beat um you got it for free you didn't pay so what do

we do now no i'm what i'm saying is when can that happen i'm starting to do this podcast this is probably the fourth or fifth episode right now it's gonna be a point where i need a new intro and i want to be able to make some money rizatoni could you could you give us like a a sneak peek of like an intro you would give his show i move on vibes you know what i'm saying i just gotta be in the moment creation artistry i mean we're all artists in this room in some way or another you know what i'm saying so So, so it's just, it's just, I got, I got to feel it. The beat that you dislike.

I sample, um, from 36 chambers of Shaolin and Mozart. How do you hate on Mozart? That's a good point. No, no, you don't mean that's a good point.

You don't respect him enough to understand. I don't respect Mozart. Why wouldn't i respect so now you respect mozart more than you respect wu-tang no this is what's wrong with our generation right now they don't have no goddamn respect i respect wu-tang no respect it is freaking hot in here i mean that's how it's going to be this whole summer yeah and i'm sweating everywhere except for one place i'm sweating balls but not on your balls, obviously. No, no, not at all. And I'm guessing, is that because you have the Crop Soother Ball After Shaver lotion? That's because I

care about my genitals, I care about that area, and I care about what Manscaped can do for me. So that means you must be using the Crop Preserver Anti-Shaving Ball deodorant. I don't want to tell everybody my secret to have a nice amount of balls, but you just guessed it. Yeah, and I'm guessing you probably had the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra?

I got the works. The Weed Whacker? I got it all. So you got the Manscaped Package 5.0 Ultra? I got the Manscaped Package 5.0 Ultra. I got the Shave & Cream. I got the Lawn Mower. I got the thing to keep my nose hairs right,

my ears right, and I got to get a date after I use all of these tools. Do you feel like there's a thing in which people give up? Part of it shows with how you take care of your region? 100 percent, especially if you have people that's going to go down there. They want that area to be – if you take care of your lawn, you might as well take care of your balls. If you have a regular schedule on how you want your lawn manicured and look nice, put that same energy into Manscaped,

and you'll be probably the person, not in the neighborhood, but in a relationship, be like, oh, I like what you did down there. That's what we want. Yeah. I've gotten one of those Manscaped compliments before. Oh, yeah? Well, don't share it with me.

I want a beat that's going to get people pumped up the same way the last beat. I want a beat that's theatrical. I want a beat that feels like it could be a part of a movie. I want a beat that feels like it's coming to a climactic point where people want to go crazy. There was a lot of criticism on the intro. I just did the beat. I didn't edit it. I didn't put the whipped cream on the ass. We don't do whipped cream.

I didn't direct the PowerPoint presentation. That's good on you. You know what? And guess what? That whipped cream on the ass got a lot of people excited. And it got a lot of people excited at the beginning of the beat that they took back. So a lot of people got bonged messing with that beat. So I don't know what the next step is.

Who else could possibly? I don't even know who. The fact that you look like RZA, again, never leaving Staten Island. Yo, don't talk about Staten Island, man. Come on, son. That's how it is. Even your sons don't even sound right, son. Come on, son.

Yo. So, Katie. Yeah. So, you guys brought in a fake RZA. Call me fake one more time. I didn't bring this guy in. I'm going to death punch you right now, son. Not even afraid of any of that. RZA, Tony fake one more time I didn't bring this guy in right now son not even afraid of any of that

RZA Tony I didn't bring him in call me fake RZA one more time son fake RZA one more time look look that's first see first off first off that's rule number one

you never touch a man's chest never touch a man's chest don't be called fake unless you really I've done too much to be called fake son well too much to bomb bomb too much to obviously called fake, son. Well, too much to... Bong, bong. Too much that obviously the people here don't want to acknowledge it.

I had no beef. You got my number. Call me right now. I'm not going to. You right here. I'm not going to. I wouldn't... If I'm so fake.

Let me see. Who are you calling, Fake RZA? Hello? What up, Dave? Son, can you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Listen, I'm doing my podcast right now, right? Can you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you. I'm doing my podcast right now, right? And I'm trying to revamp my stuff. I'm trying to get it to a point where I was. I had to stop. I had to stop. And so what they do is they brought a fake RZA in here to talk about the beat that you made for me.

And I had beef with you. The beat you made for me took back soul again, and now I can't use it. Uh-huh. That happened. What? What? What?

What? Am I ever going to get another beat? That's the ass RZA here. He looked like you, but he looked at you like you back in the day, not before you changed your diet and all of, all of, all of, all of. He got the curry goat eating RZA. Yeah, they got the curry goat eating RZA. I don't know who this is on the phone.

This ain't the real RZA. They got the steak eating RZA on the phone right now. There's no steak. I don't eat meat no more. Yo, what is today's mathematics? No, we asking you the questions. I'm asking the questions right now. What's the real mathematics?

Yo, he exposed, son. Nah, nah, son. Nah, bomb, bomb. no bomb bomb no he's exposed he don't what's today's alphabet red and didn't and listen and and didn't think he looks like you if you never made it that's what he looks like right now that's crazy son that's crazy son but but but listen i'm i'm calling you because for some reason they think they can bring all these fake imposters in here we got a white girl in here that believes everything i know i know the real people i'm glad i'm glad that you pick up the phone but i have a

question too are we done with siroc you know you pushed it to the side. You know what I mean? Did I not say that? Did I not say that? You know what I mean? I saw you did. You pushed it to the side. First of all, I was proud of you. I just want to say that. Right. I was proud to watch you push it to the side.

Right. I don't drink vodka. I'm a tequila man. Okay. All right. I ain't got to worry about it. But I was proud to watch you push it to the side, man. I had to push it to the side.

But you know what? I had another bottle in the back for later because I had some good memories with that. Yeah, some good. I know your memories. No, did he? But listen, I was trying to tell him, and we had a young chick from Australia, did not understand. They tried to shit on the beat. And it was like, what was so dope about that beat?

And one thing I like about it was the theatrics of it. It felt like it was climatic. And I had some white people saying whenever that beat drops, they start beating the wall up. And they thought that an intro should not be that long. I say, but if it's being produced by RZA and you can use it, it's got to be that long. Exactly. There were some frequencies But what happened was Um It was something I

You know I created Um And then I recreated In a higher form Uh Cause you know I took some of that stuff

That I did for you But then I I sat down and recreated it And I ended up Um Playing it for my man While he was doing the minions And so when he heard it

He was like Yo I wanna pick this In the movie the minions I was like yeah go for it No attack And so when he heard it, he was like, yo, I want to pick this in the movie, The Minions. I said, yeah, go for it. Now attack! Battle is in sight! Yeah! Shoot! Shoot!

Get him! I Cannot break this wood. I know you ain't shit Nah motherfucker it was enough it was enough yo the algorithm was like nah too close yo they was too they i i kept on saying why am i getting red flag and i knew something was wrong because when i called you you said uh uh uh let me get you another beat son the millions pay ronald dar Don't. You stop. I know you still owe me when I get you. And another thing, that interview I did with you with Joe Rogan, they thought that I was being disrespectful and I was being an interrupter.

Do you agree with that thought or you think I was just being myself? I think you're being yourself now. Are you an interrupter? I don't know, but you... But me and you are... And I ain't no interrupter, man! I don't know what you're saying that you're an interrupter. You know what you are, D?

You're a disruptor. I'm a disruptor. Yeah, you're a disruptor. So you... You was disrupting, not interrupting. You know what I mean? But I will... And I respect that.

You know, I got nothing but super respect for you. I do respect that. And disruptor matrix. And yo, let me tell you something. I think I... When I came to your special that night... Uh- matrix. Yo, let me tell you something. I think I took... When I came to your special that night... Uh-huh.

The New Day, if you haven't... Let me really be quick. He's talking about my special Netflix, The New Day. If you haven't watched it, watch it. But you said something to me, but go ahead. Continue. Yeah, when I came through that night, me and my wife, we checked it out. We had a great time that night.

But then when we watched it again on Netflix, yo, it was a boring Friday night. It shouldn't be that many boring Friday nights in my life, but it was one of those boring Friday nights. And your special was on. I turned it on. And then we got a bottle of champagne, and we had a great night. So thank you for putting that out. Keep rocking the world. You know, I know we family, but I can say this.

Honestly, I'm super proud of you. I'm super proud of you. Super proud of your evolution and just keep rocking the world, yo. I got to say this in at the end. And I appreciate you picking up the phone. Let these motherfuckers know I know the real deal. What's today's mathematics? Today's mathematics is knowledge.

Y'all keep on putting these never rang listen listen y'all we could do a voice detector to tell what's the truth for that it's in my phone y'all keep on trying to bring these fake motherfuckers

in here and then when i tell y'all the real deal this is when fake rizzo this is why i respect these youngins i want to respect that includes you katie and that includes you tony mike bravo whatever your fucking name is fake r fake RZA made a fatal error. Can I point out the fatal error? Yes, it was his outfit he chose. No, your fake RZA made a fatal error. So what he was talking about in terms of the mathematics, you can look this up, is that RZA is a firm believer of the five percenters.
