B.T. was based out of
D.MV.
So I would have the train down there
to do all teams. Everything.
The whole BET was in fucking D.C.
So you had to go
to D.C. And we was out there
so much because they threw all the events out there
that I learned so much about
DMV coaching, man. But what's up,
Bale? Man, man, man. We're happy to have you here,
brother. It's good to be here.
You know what?
It's for real because, like,

about some things
who's going to come at.
So that's more than the combo.

and brought out the T.S.

And are you still currently, do you have the passion for the sneaker game?
I think this culture, like all of us, wherever you're from,
if he was black, he was on sneakers.
You know what I'm saying?
And now we didn't really have money
until I was like, maybe like in high school.
And then when I started working,
I just started collecting and collecting.
And then, you know, I go?
Like, any other hobby, you just collect.
And as far as now, I don't really got a passion.
Like, like, I used to.
Like, it's a little bit, like, stepped on,
like, the whole shit burnt out for real.
Like, it's just everything.
Not what are you seen.

For some reason, they stereo cast us rappers.
It's just like, man, there ain't no different than what you do.

But you went in there, you fucked a lot with the Afro beat.
You, is you African or African American?
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't even consider none of them bees, Afro beats, for real.
They kind of like, I'm asking you a question.
Is you African American or are you African?
Uh, is that I'm, I'm African, we are African.
Yes, but I'm just saying the way you flowed on them African beats was almost like you're from Nigeria, not from Washington.
I'm telling you the truth.
You know what you did on that shit.
You know, my parents.
met at the University of D.C.
And they both came
until America, like, in, like, early 80.
That's fired.
Oh, so that's how it happened
because you sounded really authentic.
See, I never did reggae tone
because I'm like a New York Puerto Rican.

and he don't sound right.
Right.
You did it right.

I don't know how we got here, but I believe you.
No, you better believe it.
You're going to go a lot of inflation before you leave here.
New Yorkers are good with that.
Like, they can keep you on games.
I believe it.
New Yorkers' no.
I know what we got there.
I know knickers' nose, though.
New Yorkers no?
I know.
But let me tell you something.
How about we let him tell us something?
I want to ask you about the song you did that you got Rihanna on.
That's what I was about to start asking about some of those features.
No, go talk about that one first.
That one.
That one's a serious one.
He pulled the, he got some incredible fucking features in your life for your career.
I'm talking about that.
Yeah.
You know all this?
No, you are charming.
You got songs with Jadikis.
The facts.
Ah-ha.
Don't tell him that.
No made-up shit.
Don't tell him that.
He came to the studio with me.
He's been in D-Blocked studio next to me, no e-Mit.
Made a kiss, man.
You're a great rapper, man.
We're talking about him.
I don't want to talk about me.
Let me tell you about the time I made Jada kiss.
Oh, shit.
I was somewhere in Yonkers.
Whoa, yo, yo!
It was a car.
The Dark Cold Night of Yonkers.
I, um, nah, but the Jones was, like, she, she just, we, I met her, like, a long time ago, like, before I was even, I was still in school, for real.
it was right around the time I dropped out
I was on tour with Mark
and I think backstage at Glastonbury
there wasn't too many like black people like
so we just got cooled in
and then I started like you know
getting bigger and bigger
and then I remember like it getting back to me
this is my third album now
and I'm on Rock Nation
so you know Jay Brown and the whole thing
she was like I want to get on a song
and uh yeah and then
I mean then I had to like
I remember like she kept going to the club
like every other night
And I was like one of these nights
We're going to the studio soon as
And the day that she was ready
I said, bro, everybody get the fuck out
Like yo, what y'all want to eat?
That was like McDonald's.
I was like, oh, cool.
We had some J's.
So I like getting the vibe
And then she just did it.
And then I think we ended up like
I tried to get like a different beat
because I really wanted a real remix.
Let me ask you a question.
How did you feel when she jumped in the SUV
I'm presuming she left
and you had Rihanna's vocals
on your song.
Like, what the doubt?
I hope this should get cleared.
That's the fact.
It ain't all.
It ain't over.
It ain't over.
Yeah, it's not all.
It's not done yet.
I know some artists right now
that they love to go to the niggas sessions
and hear their new shit,
drop them, give them two verses,
and then.
To those day clears.
Don't clear that.
Kanye did that to me.
No, I had to deal with that a lot of time.
He did that to me.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
know how I happened, but when I was out there writing for him, like,
and this was Paris, this was a long time ago.
For who?
Kanye.
Okay.
And then I remember, like, I wanted him on this song I had called Girls on Drugs.
And he was like, no, no, nah, nah, nah, he gets, like, no, nah, nah, this is the one.
And it played me this song, and with Todd Dallas and I was on it.
And he was like, this go-go shit, right?
I'm like, go-go don't sound, nothing like that.
Like, but, you know, I get it from me, Italian West.
So I did this song.
I didn't really like this song for me.
real. I mean, it wasn't, like, it wasn't
fucking with nothing on my album, but
it's Kanye, so I let it ride and shit
like that, you know. He's
like, yeah, you should put an album, I'm like, fuck it. Having A
on the album, I can't hurt. I don't like
the song. So, when
it came to time, what's the name,
the label home on now, death jam, they wouldn't
clear it. They said Kanye wouldn't clear.
And I'm like, what the fuck is that? And then he got mad
at me a little bit later down the road. Like,
I don't think you appreciate, I gave you, like,
one of your biggest songs ever. And I'm like,
damn, me, I can't even clear the
Like, shit ain't even
Now, he's delusion
Shit ain't over till it's over
With these conferences, man
My favorite rapper, but he's the hell
He said definitely, definitely
inspiration to my whole shit
Oh no
I just fight for the state
And I want to Paris for that
Wait till I tell you the Kanye's story
But yeah, that might be for another story
How the hell did you meet Jerry Seinfeld?
I was just always outside
Nick like, I just was a kind of
different nigga
Like I had different interests
Like we all hang together
whatever, but I used to just like
watch different shit. And I remember
like I had an injury and I couldn't
I couldn't do shit like for a while
and I had them joints on DVD and I was just
watching them joints and I was like man, there's a lot
of psychology in this shit. And then
I just made a mixtape around that when I
still living in my mother's career like
and I was like, I don't know if they're going to understand it but
I put it out and it just kind of caught
and I did part two right
before I signed the Inescope. And I think
right before I did part two
it got, he caught wind of the mixtape and
He had a show in Baltimore when he wanted to meet me.
Wow.
Now, how the hell did the Usher join?
That's one of my favorite songs in the world, by the way.
I appreciate it, man.
You know, I D.C., I'm one of the biggest rappers that don't have a main producer,
and I kind of think so because all of my songs might hit from somebody else.
And I remember one day, Jay One was like, man.
By the way, I don't want to, that's an art to be able to work with different producers
and make hit records with different producers.
A lot of guys just got one guy who give him that sauce.
it's actually hard to leave somebody
you just made a hit with
to fuck with another producer
and get a hit from them.
Sorry for cutting you off.
I wish I could do that more.
I'm like more of an introvert now.
I become more because I know too much
so I just don't be here really around nobody.
But like Jake One was like, man,
this is around the time of like three years in a row
I had like the number one
most played on Urban Radio song,
so Jake One made a joke.
He was like, man, I want to do one of those with you.
Put Sammy beat like that.
Man, I just thought it finished it together.
And then me and Sam do put that hook down.
And then niggas was like, yo, Usher would sound great on it.
Didn't overthink it.
Man, Usher did it.
And clit.
The man, Usher never did shit for me, man.
Y, Asher, you owe me about a hundred favors.
What?
Usher, I need a taste, man.
Your Usher, I've been chasing you for my whole...
Man, Usher might think I'm whacked.
Man, I ain't going to live.
Chase Usher, plenty of time.
He's a, I consider him my friend.
You're on skates now, man.
You can't catch up as long.
Can't catch him now.
You go to Usher show, bro.
I'm in Vegas.
I had a show.
I think, what's the club?
Trayas, man.
And I fucked around and told Natina
give me some tickets to Usher.
I fucked around.
I sat in number seats for two minutes.
Then it was the Fat Joe Greatest Hits.
Ten records in the world.
Usher had me performed.
Ten fucking records.
I have breath, sweat, bullets,
ripping the place down.
I mean, you get an Oscar ticket.
It's coming with some free songs.
He made you earn your performing life.
He made them joints.
I can't lie.
He came to my show after.
He came to Drey's and hung out with me
and that was against his contract.
He couldn't really, but.
Oh, yeah, they vicious.
Man, Usher, you owe me sneakers.
You on me all type of shit.
No, Usher owe me.
Usher owes me sneakers.
Usher owes me sneakers.
Oh, that's a big.
I had me performed.
He had me performed at his
his goddaughter's
Sweet 16, Fat Joe Greatest Hits
and he looked me in my eyes
and said, yo, I got you with the Jordans.
That motherfucker been skating for me
forever.
His Jordan Connect ain't more than you were.
No, I know I know Usher's...
He just won't appear that they made for Usher.
Yeah, I want...
He liked the E.S. A.R. joints?
I want to...
You want them to say confessions on his hat.
I want this to say...
Simple.
I want that shit to say sample.
You see what I'm saying?
Y'all got the camera.
I want the ushers to say something.
You need something exclusive from us.
Yes.
I ain't even know he had it.
Thank God I ain't got no hose on my socks.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, no.
He got them some for them.
Oh, no.
He made one for your wedding or some shit.
Oh, that's like I could call MJ myself.
No, no, he got it.
Yeah, yeah.
He got exclusive.
They like, for him.
For us, you know, I can't see you with a pair of his joints.
Oh. Yeah, you got four ones.
He got three.
No, they, they'd be dazzled up, though.
They got shit on improving.
That's the Justin Timberlakes, them shits, with all that shone and all that.

Hey, I'm Cal Penn.
And on my new podcast, Here We Go Again.
We'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?
You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like,
like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host.
Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture.
And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions.
Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08?
Is non-monogamy back in style?
And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early?
We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye.
When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.
Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is.
But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday.
A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market.
What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, reveal about the economy?
Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation.
What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout?
There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back.
He's putting politics aside.
he's left the White House.
And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't?
CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things,
whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

All I know.
is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,
until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator
on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerve,
this Kentucky housewife
helped give justice
to Jessica Curran.
My name is Maggie Freeling.
I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist, producer,
and I wouldn't be here
if the truth
were that easy to find.
I did not know her
and I did not kill her
or rape or burn
or any of that other stuff
that y'all said.
They literally made me say
that I took a match
and struck and threw it on her.
They made me say
that I poured gas on her.
From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

In early 1988,
federal agents raced to track down the gang
they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin
into New York from Asia.
We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles
But what they find is not what they expected.
Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin.
They go, is this your daughter? I said yes.
They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years.
Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them,
the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray.
Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light.
Listen to the Chinatown Sting on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts.
Football season. You play football.
Yeah.
What was you, you inspired to make it to the NFL?
Yeah, everybody thought they was going to the league when we were little.
But she, my first day, uh, can't.
in college, because I was recruited as a wide receiver
because I was playing running back my whole life,
but I was too small to play a runner back in college.
But then I seen them Florida niggas running routes.
The first day, I said, all right, let me.
I got to run a bat.
So I had to work my way back up that junk
because I was not running like that.
Yeah.
And then I got kicked out for Robert Morris.
Shout out my man, Freezy out there in Miami.
They kicked them out of Robin Morris.
I know y'all caught the vapors, man.
Coach is Joe Walton, he used to coach the Jets.
That was my coach, and then I transferred to Virginia State.
And I was getting to it out there.
You know, the thing about living in Miami,
you shit be 120 degrees.
And I was talking, they got the fucking equipment on 120.
That's what they be.
I learned more about football, spending two weeks in Carroll City,
my freshman in college than I did the whole first season
in that Rob Moore.
I learned more about football in Carroll City.
Yeah, I'm the only.
God, they never played, but got thrown out the park.
Rich player used to play, and they penalized them for 15 yards.
And then they took away another 15 yards.
You can bring Rich in here if I'm lying.
They maybe get the fuck out the park.
The referee, I'm like, you footlocking.
I was going bad out there.
The most dangerous fan is the women out there.
You know, the women should.
Man, the women used to go, yeah, Joe, this one.
They start taking them yards.
It was like, get the fuck out, crack.
I was coursing them a game
I kept going crazy out there
but Florida a different thing with the football
bro.

I've been around too old.
And Miami ain't happening.
And Miami ain't happening.

I lived in Miami 20-some years.
I watch them get their ass whip every week.
That shit on the TV?

I was, I'm always been a Nick fan.
You know, in solidarity with the heat.
You know, I was in the studio.
You've been in the studio too many times

They'll play me on the 2K and bust my ass with the heat on the nick.
Like, it's just disrespect for many years.
But we go through that with Redskins commanders.
Like, there's a lot of...
I remember my hove used to be John all the time because he's a Cowboys fan.
We didn't have nothing to brag about in a long time.
So I get it.
That's what I'm saying.
And your, your, uh, Washington, your basketball team ain't nothing to brag about either, huh?
Those motherfuckers, the last thing y'all had was John War, huh?
Yeah, my shout to John.
We're going to be all right soon, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll trust the process.

My last album was, like, four years ago.
And so much is that.
You're printing change dramatically in for you.
The styles, the sub-genres, the, the, there's been artists that came and went in that time I forgot out.
That's a fan.
Literally came and went.
Like, the industry plant stuff there, some people think it's real, some people not, like, you know, fans didn't more aware.
It's just, it's the wild wild west right now.
I think I'm on Def Jam, too.
Oh, yeah?
You think?
The last time I went there, it was crazy.
It's a bunch of young kids
It's like this show on Netflix
With the levels
That shit you like, stay
And I went to the floor
And there's a bunch of new youth
What's the show?
Squeak games?
No, it's like squid games mixed
With the other shit
That came out doing the food on the shit
Man with the levels
Oh, the food
Yeah, I like that shit
I went to this floor
I seen nobody I knew
But it was like a bunch of young kids
You know what I'm saying?
They ain't control.
Then they took me all way up to the towers.
Then I saw all of the people that I used to know,
all of my people that worked on my album.
So that freaked me out.
That alone.
It's a whole, they put the youth.
So many people are like.
Yes, mad people I don't know.
Then the few that I knew, they put them in the chimney.
Well, I never know.
What was that?
The chimney is.
They heard.
They heard me, man.
It's supposed to be kind of hot.
Put them up.
I'm like, yo, I got to meet a whole new...
Well, you know, people got to work.
And the problem is that a lot of people
that have been gatekeeping,
and they've been getting their checks for years and years and years,
and getting exposed.
They're lazy.
And so they don't really want to put in that work and that pain.
You know, I got a friend that he's my brother.
I don't want to say his name.
Say it!
No, I can't do that.
Well, he'd be telling me, yo, I got to work.
He'd be in the industry getting the check for 30 years.
That's his man.
And he's like, yo, they actually got me work.
And I said, well, what the fuck you think this is?
Like, you're getting a check.
You have to work.
There's not a lot of passion.
It's not a lot of passion.
One thing I learned about this industry
when you find people that rock with you
and go off of you, you should keep them repuls in relationships
because it's not going to be a lot of them,
but as passionate about their job
and really want to help you.
You know what I mean?
You know, I got both, I agree with both of you guys, right?
But, you know, it's a time for the youth
to show what they know in the industry and all that,
and we can't have, look, what I'm going to say,
I ain't going to say it.
You, no, no, no, because I got too many friends,
too many people that I love,
too many people responsible for my career,
DJs and all that.
But when you got DJs,
unless they're DJing in the greatest hit station,
we got those 94-7, the blot, WBLS.
You can't be 60 trying to control the rap game.
There got to be some young dudes.
They got to get up in there and start DJing.
They got to be some young kids that you got to hire
that know what's going on.
I think nobody got to pay.
That's my experience with a lot of the younger people
because we're trying to build a staff
for what we've been on too.
But, like, everybody,
they don't realize you got to go from here to there to there.
They think it's this for a couple of weeks
and then it's right there.
And, like, all we know is, like,
climbing up like that.
But, like, instant gratification is like...
You know what, Bob?
It's the new shit.
What this conversation brings me to is
Kanye West be bugged out, right?
And he do bugged out shit.
But I agree with him.
him where the man is saying he's selling every
Adidas sneaker. He's a fucking billionaire.
And they put him to talk to somebody's son when he's
discussing his sneakers and all that. As a kid there making
$90,000 a year, literally telling him what to do.
Like, nah, we ain't doing it like that. You're doing that. He's like,
yo, bro, I'm keeping the lights on in Adidas.
Yeah, but still protocol.
You tell a billion dollar dude to walk up in there
And what do you think the niggins that gave him that deal
What you think they got?
Yeah, I don't mean this because he got that
It's still somebody higher than him
And somebody hired it is.
Listen, I agree with him.
I agree with him.
I think there are certain people
that if you know they win all the time,
they keep the lights on, they know how to put it out of the point.
Don't have no young kids.
You don't get what you actually.
for. You get what you negotiate. You know
that. I got to use the baffle
on that. Oh, shit.
Who is the number one DJ
in Washington, D.C?

You're not even saying American.
You're saying gibberish shit.
Don't say nothing than it's safe.
He's filling it in.

I start laughing.

Yo, we just can't do that Monday morning quarterback shit.
You let your man hype your shit up.
That shit be the worst.
Fendi fucking...
He was good on the nothing.
Like with the...
Aggie pride, this, that when there's no words.
When they dropped his song,
he should have just stepped back.
He had a flashback.
He thought he was Stalves Lutche.
He thought he was mad people
and wanted to get nobody right.
Fendi's my man.
I had a good job.
I love him.
His eyed man skills and finished,
so he can never do it.
You can, yo, Fendi, just stick to looking pretty, baby.
Stay out the way.
Let's go to the last song off the new LP.
Everything is a lot, man.
You got to love this album.
This album is really, really great.
November 14th.
We put in that work.
November 14th, man.
Before you go buy some bullshit, purchase you some good music to do, you know what I mean?
Stream it.
No, buy it.
Buy it.
The streams is cool.
The streams is cool, but we need sales.
There's go.
You know what I mean?
We need sales.
So I stream more albums.
So what's the difference?
You do nothing.
How you don't know those?
I don't know.
I don't have a sound system.
I don't know how to...
I go and don't say that.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's delusional right?
He buys artists.
We buy your music and let's reciprocate the love.
Hold on.
Let's toast to this fucking out.
Samasa Spade.
I see that.
So he said, I'm right there.
Everything's a lot.
November 14th, all platforms.
Shout out to my brother's still fucking going crazy all you, suck.
Let me ask you one question before we go to that song.
I see you talking a lot about drinking and addiction and drinking.
Did you go through a time with that?
I think everybody in this industry, if you've been in this young longer than like six years,
you've been through some traumatic shit, like regardless.
Oh, you know, I don't, I've yet to see any of our peers that have been in it.
For longer than six, seven years, it's like one or two traumatic things that kind of rewire how your brain.
is. So I think we all have indulged
and vices at particular
moments. Like, for whatever reason
to push through something to numb something
or simply because, like, this
shit wasn't made for all this.
Like, we wasn't made to see all these opinions
and all that, like, you know what I'm saying? It's just
too much. It's too heavy. It's a lot.
And there you have, everything's a lot.
And then you've got to act like you're perfect and all that.
Yeah. This game,
this game, yo, sometimes they try to kill me
Raleigh. I'm not even lying.
No, they do. They come for you. Sometimes I'd be like,
I'd be like, I don't understand.
Everybody go to it, but I'll be thinking it's the price we pay.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it's just our community
because we always got to refer back to the Jews.
And these guys, whether they get along.
We play this song.
No, no, no.
God, damn.
No.
No.
No.
I'm trying to tell you.
Now, hey, so look, everything's a lot.
November 14th, this song is called...
I got to finish one.
And this song is called Belly, right?
And it's just really about what we were just talking about.
Making it look like I was saying something bad.
What I'm saying is...
How much my Jewish friends don't get along?
They work together and they make money together
and they do business together.
And for some reason, I feel like in this industry,
everybody try to knock you down
for doing good.
I'm just saying that.
The new song, let's go.
Let's get to it.
I like how you called that.
It's the truth, though.
That's all I was going to say.
And welcome back.
My name is Waleigh.
This song's called Belly,
and it's just really about, you know,
balancing, like,
both sides of my life,
like, from the reality of the situation I'm in,
trauma I've been through,
and, like, Survivor's guilt.
Like, all of that are in one.
This is called Beth.
Everything's a lot.
November 14th.
