Well, on July 4th, I believe it was on July 4th. Drake dropped a new record. Well, I guess like a mini movie, like a film. Like a short film? Visualized.

Episode one. Yeah. Okay. I didn't know it was episodes. So yeah, it was a visual for What Did I Miss, plus a snippet of another record that sounded pretty good. But what's everyone's thoughts of what did I miss? Maul predicted this like in April.

Or did you just, were you just asking the question, what did you miss? And it was just a coincidence. It was a coincidence. I mean, I figured that. Yeah, come on. Sometimes you wake up, you like, what did I miss? Exactly. Everybody says it, right?

Yeah. What's funny is I remember when you tweeted that and I started like looking through the comments of like wondering what you missed. I was like, wait, did I miss something? Because you know like sometimes when all put the laughing emojis, then I got to go find what he's laughing about. I really thought with the what did I miss it. It was similar to laugh emojis and I was like, I must have missed it too. Maybe we'll find out on the episode.

But your thoughts on the record. I mean, you know, great record. Great song to come back with. Great sentiment. I think he addressed a lot of his feelings coming out of last year. Well, some of his feelings, not a lot of them, but some of them, I'm assuming. Yeah, it's good, good music. I think that's what Drake is getting back to, just make some good music.

You know, last year we had obviously one of the biggest moments in our coach's history and, you know, him coming out of it, feeling the way he feels and looking back at things. I guess this is the song that he sat in the studio and this is what he came up with. So this was the sentiment. and what did I miss? And yeah, I like it. Good music. Yeah, I know.

I think it's a cool record. And this is just going to be more like overthinking it for not just for the sake of conversation, but just I like to overthink records. Would it have been better if it was just more open-ended and generic? Like, because I think the hook is incredible. I think everyone can relate to that. Like, I think it was really only the pop out line where I was like, either do it or don't. like either go all the way back in and let's go round 19 on this entire thing or just make this record's

already there like the hook is there everything's great about it I just don't know if like a pop out part was necessary because then it brought everyone back to talking about this fucking battle again instead of just a great record newsflash worry it's never a way it's never a way drake does for the rest of his life okay that's a fair point they're gonna bring up that battle yeah just i just just get that this could have been a straight r&B song no matter what he does for the rest of his career, somebody is going to find a line somewhere to attach it to the battle. Yeah. But the pop out line I thought was necessary.

Like, you know, he's reminiscing on everything that he sat back and watched. Was that I saw the debate, was that about Bronn or DeMarre? Um, or both? Listen, man, if you ask those two gentlemen, I think they both feel like it's about them, right? That was a long time. Tala may feel like it's about him, you know, like it's a few people that was there. Yeah. may feel like it was about them.

So, you know, it's kind of like if it applies, wear it. That's all. But yeah, I mean, I think it's a catchy record. I like the beat switch. It was just a cool record. Yeah. Like, I don't really want to overthink it. Like, that was kind of just the only thought I had outside of this is catchy,

and this will probably work for the summer. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's definitely going to work. But do you think this would be the one to pass Michael Jackson? Because I like the record. I just don't think it's one of those. you don't think this is going to be number one I don't know even for

Drake number one records are not as easy as people think they are like overall it's for hip-hop sure yeah it'll be number one but an overall number one record is a very very difficult thing to do like look at the last number one Drake had first person shooter

like that's a legendary song that's a classic record it's tough to get number ones I don't know if this will be the one though I could be wrong person shooter to me I was shocked it went number one Exactly Like I was really shocked

I'm not shocked That this is gonna be a number one record First person shoot it to me Definitely still to this day I can't believe one Wait Because that is like a rap record Oh that's why you didn't

Okay I just wanted Okay I just wanted to clarify Because I was like genuinely confused Like that's a fucking No it's a classic record But like no no no It's just such a hip hop record Like yeah but it's that's like

rap like you know what I'm saying That's like really really Just two MCs rapping on that record But at the be number one like that, like I didn't think that that would be number one. Even like when Cole goes number one, it's with Miguel. Like it's tough to go number one with rap. Well, that was Cole's first number one. So he's never went number one before.

But I mean, I get that. But I also, he's also the reason the record went number one. It doesn't go number one without him. No, we don't. What are we doing? Demaris, you think you can prove that? No one can prove. You can't prove a negative.

I can prove a negative. He does not have any of the number one. That's how it's proven. Okay, I didn't say that it would go number one without Drake, but I also don't think it goes number one without Cole. I think them together mesh together is what made that record so good. I don't think that's a wild statement to say. If somebody doesn't have any other number one for you to put that against, I think that is a very wild statement for you to say. For me to say that them together made the record is good.

No, no, no, it's not what you said. You said without Cole that doesn't go number one. Because the best part of that song is Drake will say the best part of that song is Cole. Like, that was the most memorable part of the record when it dropped. Am I making this up? Like, are we right? I'm just thinking it's like a hard thing to even debate. Yeah, like, all right.

So if Cole's not on it, is it a blank verse? No, it's not going to like. No, no, no, no. Her statement was that that record doesn't go number one without Cole. I personally don't think that that record. Cole doesn't have a number one record. He doesn't get his number one without Alicia Keys, but they both like delivered. All right, you miss what I'm saying.

If an artist does not have a number one record, how can you make a statement that if he wasn't on that record, it wouldn't go number one? Well, everyone gets their first number one. Well, not everyone. But to have a number one record, it means you got a first one without proof that you could get one. You still not answer my question. If Cole was the standout on the record. You don't have a number one, if you don't have any number one records in your catalog, Rory. Okay.

And you have a song with me. I have probably 80 number one records. Okay. However many. When the who's counted at this point, right? You would make the statement that, yo, if I wasn't on that song, it wouldn't have number one? No. I just think they both compliment each other.

I think there's been plenty of times where our singer has done a hook that didn't have a number one record and it went number one because of their hook. It's a great song. We know that they both compliment each other well. I'm asking you the statement of saying if this person who doesn't have any number one songs, if he wasn't on this record, it wouldn't go number one. Is that a fair statement? I said to both you guys, I think it's not a fair statement on either side. It's a weird thing to even debate, especially when you don't have any other number one record. Sure.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. But back to you, baby, D. I'm sorry. I lost my train to thought, child. Anyway, first person shooter was amazing. It was an amazing song. I was just wondering why you didn't think that it should have went number one. You said it was rapy rap.

I think the only person that was super, super, super rapping, like in a way that songs don't go number one when you rap like that is cold. Drake didn't really get into a super, super rap bag on that song. He made it. Drake made it like a song. He didn't really go super rapy rap. Even the way he rapped on that, I wouldn't say are similar to what Drake's number one records have been. It was a very hip-hop record to me. That's why I was shocked. That's all. Okay. We can agree. I mean, I think it's great that a record like that can go number one, but a rapidly rap record like

that, you're going to need Drake and J. Cole to make that go number one. For sure. And in that sense, because, like, I don't know too many rapdy rap records that have ever went number one. Is there any? Like, rapy rap songs? Maybe lose yourself. Yeah. Okay. Also, I'm gonna know. I'm now, I'm, Cico. It's rap. Rap, he rapping, though.

It's Cicode. Rap, but that's true. That's all. Yeah. I'm looking up rap songs. That went number one on Billboard, but you guys can't keep going. Sorry. So Josh had asked in our Twitter,

New Roy Moll Twitter community, what people were thinking of the new Drake record. Somebody said, I have grudges for bitches from the sixth grade. So yeah, I too will never shut the fuck up about someone I consider a friend doing me wrong. Immediately added to my workout playlist. Yeah, it's relatable. Great. but after a couple of listens,

he still don't realize we want more substance from him. Like, first, all right. Why, every song doesn't have that fucking substance. And by the way, that song does have substance on it. It's just like a catchy record. So you purposely dumb things down for melody. But what, like, that's just,

everyone's opinions are off to me today. That's all. Like, why? I just want to throw out here that Mark, that Marky Mark and the funky bunch has a number one record. As they, I mean,

as they should. And that's, that's, that's, I just, that's rapid rap, that's rapid rap, right.

What else is on there that would be surprising? Oh, that would be surprising. I don't think any, Crossroads went number one. I don't think that that's surprising,

though. And that, I mean, bone dogs are great rappers, but I would not call crossroads a rapidly rap song. Yeah,

hypnotize, obviously, is on there. But I'm looking for things that are more super-rapity-wrapity rap I'm actually not seeing any. Does first person shooter even have a hook?

No. Yeah. Like that, that's shocking. Hypnotize, even as big is wrapping his ass off on that. You know why it's going number one. For sure.

That sample and the hook. I think first question isn't it big as the big as the what? Isn't that the hook? Big as a Super Bowl? I mean, that could be. I think that could be the hook. I think so.

Do you think they sent an offer out to Nikki? I know she's been talking about touring a lot lately and where that money is going. What's up with Nikki, man? What's going on? I love me. I know that's my, that's my girl. That's my dog. That's my dog.

That's my homie. I know I love Nikki, but what's she doing, man? What's she got going on, man? But my phone was blowing up there like, yo, your girl killing a hole. I'm like, what happened? But she's done this before. Just not for three days straight. That's what I'm saying.

But she's done this. She's done rants for a day straight. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. But this particular rant, Nikki posted, Democrats attacked me over my cousins. Balls. Yo, the way Maul looked at the computer, yo. I'm like, they're supposed to say bail?

Okay. Democrats attacked me over my cousin's balls. Do you remember that? No, I don't remember that. Okay, so she had suggested her, I believe her cousin in Trinidad had taken the vaccine, I think it was. And then his balls shrunk, was it? Swole up. They swole up.

I think I remember that. He took a honey pack. Yeah. Okay. She said, remember. we remember. Let's see if they have any thoughts on that Deserat pardon. This is in regards to Desiree Perez of Rock Nation being pardoned by

President Trump. Let's see if they have any thoughts on Brother Billionaire. Is that Jay? Brother billionaire? Brother billionaire, never campaigning for Kamala, Kamala or Kamala? Kamala. Kamala. Kamala. Even after Obama pleaded with the brothers. Isn't this the brother? the one brother who could have probably gotten a job done for y'all well if the top brother in charge can leave y'all hanging without repercussions

then may everyone else leave you hanging as well hanging like my cousin's friend's balls okay wait I didn't even know it's her cousin's friend like that's a wild thing with your platform to say and that's your cousin's friend yeah okay well I mean I don't know who that is I don't know what uh Nicki Minaj is also I'm sorry mom she also bought up the alleged the paternity lawsuit that's going on with

Jay Z and that random boy who has been saying he's been Jay Z's son for the longest. The one that recreated the album covers? Yes. I was on his side until he did that. I was like, man, go get your pops, man. And then I saw that, I was like, never mind. Just want a relationship with dad, that's all.

And then he put those covers, I was like, all right, it's a little weird now. I don't know. I mean, we know that there's been a weird relationship with Rock Nation and Nikki since She was one of the investors and owners of title, and I guess she didn't get the right payout. I don't know all the details, just what Nikki has told, because Rock has not told their side. But Nikki said she wasn't paid, which she should have been paid.

200 million. Okay. I mean, I know he sold title, so yeah, I'm not saying she's wrong. But I think he only sold title for, like, how much did he sell title for her? Can we look that up? Yeah. I don't think it was even, I think she had 3% equity in title. I don't think that was worth 200 million.

and I don't know. Steve Stout said she never signed the paperwork. Okay. Well, it was sold to Jack Dorsey in Square for $302 million in May of 2021. So, yeah, I don't know. But I mean, if they didn't pay her anything, I'd feel away. But if she didn't sign the paperwork, then I don't know what to tell you, Nick. Yeah, at that point.

If paperwork wasn't signed, not saying that Steve Stout's word is golden, but... Yeah, we've seen it not be. Yeah, but if she didn't sign paperwork, then obviously she didn't. She's not owed anything because it's not in paper. She didn't sign a contract. But even if she does, though, my thing is if Nikki wants to talk to Jay, I think it's pretty easy for Nikki to get on the phone with Jay Zee. Well, I think outside, well, I don't, at this point, no.

I think earlier before, she's been going to miss for quite some. It's going to take a little, you know, just like, yo, is she okay? What's going on? Like, you know, that type of thing. But Nikki Minaj, if she had some gripes with Jay due to business or anything else, I don't think that this is the way to express it and go about it. I think she could easily reach out and get Jay-Z on the phone. Like, this is Nikki Menad's talking about.

Well, all right. Here's where I actually will back Nikki a bit in her point of view of what I think her point of view is. It was proven right that there was really a conspiracy around the time of Cardi B signing to Atlantic that people were trying to get Nikki out of the paint with different female rappers. That was kind of proven, more or less. Yeah, people, which, by the way. You feel like Mickey needed competition. Yeah, and cool. I can even see that side of Atlantic.

Like, all right, yeah, let's give her some comp. But I see how she could view that as everyone conspired to get me the fuck out of the paint and everyone went against me. I can see that. Then when Rock signed Megan and then they got in their little Tiff and Meg was doing records with Cardi, I could see Nikki feeling away like I have a relationship with Hove. why is Meg throwing shots at me? Why does this feel like now you guys are part of this entire Kaiser Atlantic shit, which, again, we don't know what's true and what's not.

I could see Nikki feeling away of having that long of a relationship with Hove, and now you're funding somebody that is throwing shots at me. I think that's really where it's at, not the title deal, to be honest. That's where I think she's upset about. And I don't know what's true, but if that's her perspective, even if she's wrong, if she's thinking, thinking that way, I'd be mad at Hove too. Yeah, I mean, I'm not, you know, again, this is,

Nikki obviously feels like, you know, there's some business that was done that she's owed something. Cool, we're not in Nikki's business. We don't know exactly the details of the truth behind it. But again, it's just the approach. I think that if you have a real, you know, $200 million you think you're old, I just don't think that posting on X or Instagram is the way to go about it. But that might be the last resort.

That's not Nikki Minaj's last resort. What I mean is you saying like, oh, she could. It's probably easy for her to get on the phone. She's probably done all of that. And niggas is probably still like, no, I don't owe you this or this is not. So this might be the last resort. Okay, so then have your lawyers reach out. I'm just saying this type of behavior seems erratic.

It comes off erratic. People are like, oh, what is, what's wrong with Nikki? You know, I've seen people trying to allude to, oh, she's high, she's this. And I'm just like, or maybe she really feels like, yo, business is not handled. Like, and I want my money. If it's 200 of them's, yeah, I need that. I need that ASAP, you know what I'm saying? So again, I just think the approach is it just comes off a little, it can be a little weird

to people that don't really know what's going on. Like you're just seeing it. It looks like she's on a rant. It looks like she's just, you know, going off about something that may or may not be true. But I'm more than certain that Nikki Minaj can get Jay-Z on the phone call. I don't think at this point. No, I don't. Anna, I don't think before this rant either she could because this is not the first time

she's done it. She threw shots at Des on that record she had with 6'9. Like this has been going on for quite some time. She hates Desiree Perez. Okay. And I'm sure it feels like Des is behind the whole Megastalian thing because I'm sure Nikki is well aware of how that building probably runs where Jay is not day to day every last fucking thing.

Oh, yeah. But Des is the head of that company. So Des is that for sure. So I'm sure that's probably also why Nikki is going right at Desiree rather than just Jay-Z. because I mean shit even in the Meg the Stallion doc like you see Desd there I can see how Nikki's brain could work that way oh no I get it that Des is in right next to Megan to make sure that

she throws shots at Nikki even if that's not the case I can just see Nikki feeling that way because she's expressed that for 10 years oh no I definitely can see Nikki's case and see why she feels away no 100% I'm just saying that the approach in trying to communicate and trying to communicate and get to the bottom of whatever the issue is I just think that this is the wrong approach. Now, Demarish, you could be right. She may have exhausted all back doors and avenues trying to get it, you know, we don't know. But I'm just saying, I don't think that this because now, okay, what is this? Is this going to solve it? No. No, of course not. So that's always

my thing. It's like, this is not going to solve it. So either way, I don't know, man. We'll have to wait and see if anything comes to us, anything that she's saying is real or true. She also bought up Megan's, and we knew that this was going to happen. Megan's lawsuit. they were not able to dispense her former cameraman's lawsuit. Remember when he was complaining about watching them eat pussy in the backseat? Well, we understand why he was complaining about that. But Nikki was like, oh, what was that law again? Because remember when she dised, allegedly dised Nikki Minaj, it was like the Megan's Law Bar.

Yeah. And it's like you bring it up sexual assault, but you have a sexual assault case on you now. So she bought that up as well. That was why Josh has Megan's name in there. Well, I mean, Twitter always tells the truth, and that's my source on this. They do say that Nikki is in debt, and because Twitter said it has to be true, and that the entire gag city tour went to whatever debt that she owes, and that's why she's crashing out about money that is owed to her because she is broke and needs money.

How do people just come up with it? No, Twitter said it. So they brought up this Tennessee bank or something that she did. Listen, me, that makes a fact. Oh, you were deep in Stan. No, I was scroll. This was just right in front of my face. like that's what people were saying but who the, I don't know.

Maybe Nikki is in debt. I would say I doubt it, but I know nothing about that woman's life. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm on the side of doubt, I doubt that Nikki Minaj is broke too, but I don't know. What do you think she spent it on? Her money? Yeah. I don't know.

How would you blow through 200 mil? Ah. That's tough. Blown through 200 million. I mean, we don't know. Maybe properties. Maybe businesses you invest. made some bad investments business-wise.

Yeah, that's easy. Travel. If you fly in private all the time, that starts to add up. Scott Stewart said he ran through a hundred mill just on partying. I don't believe that. I do. I don't. You spend $100 million party and you're dead.

You don't live. Some people have a high tolerance. Nah, that high tolerance. Have you seen below? Because you're not spending $100 million on just alcohol and drugs. Like, it's the experience. Yeah, he was saying. The whores.

I think if you spend $100 million partying, I think physically we'll see that and you'll probably be like on your last leg. If you're buying $10 million mansions every day you're throwing yacht parties where just the gas is 50K to go around the harbor and back. Like I can see Scott Storch on cocaine

in a year running through all that. You're trying to keep up with Paris Hilton all the people he was fucking with like... I think that's just a sexy number. I think people just land on a hundred million. A hundred million because it's a sexy number. It really be like, you spent 400,000.

Nah. Nah. A hundred million dollars partying? I'm not rolling with that. I never believe that anybody can spend a hundred million dollars doing coke. You should watch. You should watch the Scottsstorch interviews that are out there. If you drink two bottles of champagne, that headache the next morning is going to feel like you got beat with a baseball bat.

He's not saying that he spent $100 million on himself partying. It was just like everybody. He was throwing insane parties, yachts. He was buying everyone cars. Like, yeah, you could run through. that shit. I don't believe it. Any girl that walk in, yo, here's a Lamborghini. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I mean, I wish you would have been there.

A hundred million? That's just, I think that number is just Maybe like 20 million. You know when they'd be like, yo, it was like 400 people in there. And it was 150. It was really like 112. You know what I'm saying? It's like, but 400 sounds like, damn, that shit was a word. That's what's what I'm saying. A hundred million just seemed like. Maybe 50, hold on. Let me, uh, Scott's story. Even 50 million is crazy. It's been that partying. Like, that's insane. Like, you, there's going to be documentaries. Somebody's going to be talking about it. They was violated. You. 50 million dollars? Partying? I know. And I quote,

I felt like an animal. Scott Storch confesses Cokebender's depression and a hundred million dollars spending spree. But you have to understand how much money, Scott had at that, though. No, no, listen. I'm very aware Scott Storch was filthy, Richard. Like, the radio was Scott Storch. I just don't think he blew a hundred million dollars party. he may have blew through $100 million but not partying. But if you're partying 24-7 then you did indeed blow through $100 million partying.

Like I bought this house in L.A. just to party. That's running through a party. Or I got drunk or I was fucked up on Coke and I was like, you know, I'm about to go buy matching Ferraris. Like, technically you just bought matching Ferraris but it's the result of parking. I know, okay, add up, quick. I've seen people spend...

Because I've seen people spend $5 million like partying. And I'm like, so you're going crazy. Times that by 20. Like, that's what I'm saying. It's just not a hundred. It's just not. It's like your dog.

I mean? How much the help was. You wasn't with Paris Kim, Little Kim. You wasn't with all the Kim. Right. You're absolutely right. What is the most you ever spent party at all? I'm actually interested.

Like the most you, when you was like, you went home and you was like, damn, I blew a bag. Partying? Yeah. Like in the night? I never really. Or like a maybe, let's say a weekend. But I never really was a party, like party party head like that.

But the most I probably spent on, you know, table, bottle service and a weekend, hotel, shopping. Oh, we're adding all that up in that too? That's what that was like a club. Like dinner. I was going to say like two grand is the most I ever have. In the club? Two grand is the most you spent in a club? Probably.

That's crazy. Two grand. My outfit was two grand one night. Hey, stop. Stop on them holes, mom. That ain't hard to do, though. A $2,000 outfit is not hard to do. Some jeans is $800.

But I'm going to wear them jeans for three years. Yeah, it's not. It's not hard to do. But probably in a weekend of like just out of town partying, I probably ran up close to like maybe $20,000. Where was I? Yeah. No invite?

I probably ran up close to $20,000. Was that London? Hell, nah. Fuck out of it. Spitting $20,000 party in London, though. But that's the weekend That's like Friday To Monday

Okay, can you break down the weekend of like Was it One was it worth it Two, what were the events It definitely was not worth it Of course But going to a going to Like can you take me Friday to

Sunday night redact? If you go to a club Friday Saturday Sunday That's half of that right there If you're getting bottle service It's not hard to do Like it's not really not that hard to do I agree

It's like Food wasn't that great This one I'm talking on when you come down off that moment and you just start looking back. You're like, that was stupid. But I mean, it's an experience to say you did it. What's funny is, we'll never happen again, though. All the nights that I have like splurged at the club or like bought a table or like, you know, did the dinner thing and all that, I never got pussy because I was trying to see my investment through. Like,

we're staying in this club till 4 a.m. Yeah, like, I'm not spending all this for 30 minutes. You know, maybe people stay in the club because you pay for the section is crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we, Where are you going? Where you know? His DJ is good. You got to pee, you pee right here. You don't go to the bathroom. Like there was never time to like then go get pussy.

Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs? Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. I know what you're thinking. What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam Jett. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick you here, unpack what we.

went down and tried to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack, so I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now, so.

Then you're finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landry, Landry.

from Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously it's like 100% they believe everything, but at first it was just like, you gotta go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless

there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique.

He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Los L'Aque Rousette. God, I love that thing.

I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah.

It is an actual point. Better version of Play Stupid Games win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that. for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I mean, is it as crazy as Sceptor thinking UK rappers could be an American rapper in a battle? Oh, God. Sorry. Skepter, what's up with you, bro? What's going on,

brov? Brough is loony. Brov is loony. So Scepta has a, he's into it with Rocky right now, right? Is that, is that, like, official, like, for real, though? Well, that's what he's said, he was like after he finished making this, this record dissing Rocky, he's going to give joining like a bar in that record. And so I'm just like, oh, so is he talking about ASAP Rock? Is there another Rocky out there that I'm not aware of? I can only think he's, assume he's talking about ASAP Rocky at this point, right? It's the only Rocky, I think Skeptor would be making a disc record.

So unless it's some dope-ass artists from the UK named Rocky that's, you know, making noise out there right now, but I think I would have heard of him. I mean Okay, well If it is Asap Rocky he's talking about He may have a point I thought that was an insane statement

But if he's talking about Asap Rocky I think Skeptor would give Rocky a run Rocky makes great music But I don't even think Rocky would say He's like the most lyrical Yeah, no Even his response to Drake was Like dude

Why would you even You just gave him all the ammo to reply I was the worst thought out bar I've ever heard. Let's be clear. Like, I know a lot of people are not on to the UK rap scene and don't know, but like, they get into that battle mode. Oh, yeah. And Skepta is, you know, he's been at this for a while. Shit, how I heard about a lot of the early UK crime stuff was because they was all beefing.

Exactly. Yeah. It was disc records that you heard. They do do. I'm not saying in my American. arrogant way that we would clean them up. I mean, because it goes without saying we would clean them up. But I'm not taking away of how talented they are,

especially when it does come to the battle shit. But if we send our best and you send your best, I don't know, man. He had some other, like some other people lined up as far as Gets versus Eminem. Chip versus Kendrick Lamar, Dave versus Lil Wayne and Young's Teflon. They just cleaning Wayne up right now. Okay. And Young's Teflon versus Meek Mill. are a few of the head to heads that he floated.

Yeah, but Skeff, you can't do that, but why you grabbing those names? Yeah, like, why did you pick up? We got other niggas, like, what's up with you, bro? So other niggas that can rap. Like, what are he doing? Why just threw meek in the mix like that? Like, Mika's mind of his business. Like, Mika ain't,

me can't even say nothing to nobody. Like, I think they said Blade Brown versus Pusha T, Queenie versus Megan the Stallion, Central C with Jack Harlow. And hot. I ain't a lot of cinch my rap Jack up, though. sincech might wrap Jack all of I fuck with Central C, but I think you He might.

You underrated. Nah, I'm taking Jack in that all day. He might, listen, I love Churchill Downs too, Rory, but he might pack. Jack got packed up on that song, though. I mean, yeah, but that's one of his better verses, though. I mean, pause, Jackman, he was rapping, rapid on that. Central, cinch might get him, though. That matchup, that's the matchup that we might have to sit back and analyze a little deeper.

Hmm. I don't know. I think Central C. Because remember, since he's the UK's UK drill. Yeah. So that whole, that energy, that's already aggressive energy that he lives in. I just feel like- He invented the Nike Tech.

That is true. So he's war-ready. I just feel like as whites we need to stick together. We're better together than- I love white-on-white crime. I love white-on-white crime. I need it. Need it in my life.

Meanwhile, I was fine with all the other matchups. Well, join us. You cool with skept. Yeah. Hell yeah. Joyner said he wants smoke with Skepta, so. Skeptor says Joyne Lucas isn't big enough. I mean, we already know, I don't know,

Joyner might win because he might rap from Skeptor's perspective and diss himself. He might battle, like, he might battle Joyner. Damn. And, like, put a accent. Joyner could rap, though. Of course he can. Yeah, Joiner can rap for sure. No, Joiner can definitely rap.

He's a battle tested. He can rap. I vote with Skeptor. I'm taking Joyner in that battle. but skeptist's battle tested too and he can rap so I mean listen man if it's all for sport

fuck it let's see it that's why I'm at now man if rappers feel because we complain for years we worry about rappers not rapping oh yeah rapper started acting rappers started modeling

rappers started fucking trying to play sports all kind of shit anything but rapping now that rappers want to rap I'm happy fuck it let them rap rap joiner fuck it drop the record

joiner Don't wait for skip. Drop the fucking record. I know you got to record. Drop the record. Fuck it. Let's start it. Start it off.

Set it off. Did you want to reply? Because he's always trying to. He need to reply to the record tonight. Drop it. Release the fucking record. That's how you get a rapid to respond. Don't you got to wait for no IG posing.

Go live and it. Nah, I'm on your top. Here's the record. Drop it on you, too, wherever. Let's get into it. Let's see what I could do. Did he put gigs up against anyone in a hypothetical? I didn't see gigs, no.

Are they cool? Skepton in gigs? Yeah. I can only assume they are. Okay. I don't think they have. I don't mean, I don't know. I haven't, you know, really gotten into that, but I can't, I believe they are.

But I don't, now, let me go back. Skepta named a few of these, but a lot of these were like fans. Yeah, for sure. All right. I just wanted to. I mean, I wouldn't want to battle gigs. Outside of him being a great rapper, I just, I think he might take that shit too far. Gags is so sweet.

I would just, of course he is. Those be the ones, Maris. The nicest people in the world. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Say the one thing to gigs. A lot of machete the size of that trot ball right then. 100%.

With that amazing smile that he has. With just a machete like this. Shout out the gigs, man. Speaking of that, what is going on at SeaWorld? I know we talked about the yin-yang twins. I didn't know people were doing residencies. I saw a soldier boy walk out. Once again, they're using hip-hop.

culture as a means to keep animals in prison. Yep. Do with that what you will. So what we're going to do about it? Like, as a family, like what a... Oh, wait, this is the whole... I didn't see a schedule. Okay.

Soldier Boy and Bow Wow. Wait, did they do Marco Polo at SeaWorld? Oh, my God. That would be fucking fire. Nah. That's worth the price. That's worth some of the whales. It's in two days.

Who does SeaWorld High over there? Like, who's the new head of? head of talent. Steve Stout. Somebody who got fired from vibes. Steve Stout. Yo, Steve World Hired Steve Stout.

What's Steve Stout's company again? Caz and Carl worked there. That's definitely a translation thing right there. Oh my God. That is fucking hilarious. Go back to the schedule. Yeah, somebody, somebody, they hired somebody over their new head of entertainment

because they got WakaFlock on the 26. I'll label May Fat Joe, Joey Crack. My volume is not flying us out to cover that. Crack God, Ra, Al. What's his name? Crack God, Rakim, Allah. That's what Fadjo said they used to call him. Okay.

Bubba Sparks. Nah, I'm not, this is a lineup. This shit better than any festival I've seen in the past couple years. I am so anti-Seaworld

and their marketing is working. This is what I'm saying, but it's fucked up because they're using us, using our culture because we make everything cool. Meanwhile, these fucking animals

are depressed, anxious, trying to commit suicide, stare at a fucking wall for fucking hours on a day. Like, nah, man, we ain't supposed to be some important. See,

We saw the documentary. We just saw the documentary a few years ago. We don't support SeaWorld. Now here they come for hiring a new head of entertainment and they bring in our fucking legends there and we go in there to shake ass now while the fucking orkers are fucking ready to commit suicide. That's like if they put Soldier Boy and Bow Wow

in front of MDC, specifically in front of the criminals that were wrongfully accused of everything. But we're just going to like in chow, Soldier Boy will be there. this is crazy man I mean I'll shout out to you know Waka flock and all these guys

they get in the bag but we can't support C Wait we don't support C-World Listen I don't support C-World I don't support C-World But the turnt-up tour with Pidi Pablo Paul Wall

Jayquana Bob Sparks We support the turnt-up tour We want to turn up But not at C-World We don't support C-World Man Hold on I also have to know Like all right

So I saw the yin-yang twins one And the whales are like that's the whale tank. Are the whales like jumping? Are they around during the performance? And have they tested every song from this entire set list? Not to be a nerd, but whales are like very much with tones.

That's how they speak. You've heard all the whale talk. What happens when Waka going bow, bow, bow, bow, has a whale just grabs somebody's fucking leg? We don't know what this music does to whales. Yeah. I don't like it. Something about it doesn't feel right.

What if the whale jumps? over Fat Joe like it did in Free Willy. Yo. If Fat Joe get that off, he's the illest nigga ever. And he leans back while he does it. Oh my God. Are you kidding? He leaned back in the web. And then just right just like that. God, that's fire. Corrographed

that shit. Yeah, they do that. Now, they get a well. That would go up there with a photo of Trump holding his ear after the assassination. If Fat Joe leans back with a whale going over his head. If Fat Joe get that off dog, though, listen, man, he the illest nigga ever, man. But we can't support. We still can't support this, man. I just got to know. Did they play any music for the whales before? No, Rory, they did not. Yeah, they play that one little stupid song where they make the whale wave.

You know that song that they play. And they throw them a fucking piece of fucking heron. I've never been to C-World, so I don't know. You should never go to C-World. You should never support it. You're very anti-Seaworld. Like, it's a lot of shit that's like bad for her. The animals are in captivity.

They're depressed. You haven't seen, she didn't see the documentary? You don't even be believing in depression when me and Rory tell you we're suicidal, but you give a fuck about them whales? Yeah, because the whales are whales. They're not supposed to be there. They're not supposed to be in that tank. There's so much ocean out there.

I'm white. I'm not supposed to be on this planet. Well, yeah. You're not supposed to be. I'm a black woman. I'm not supposed to be at work. Hold on, no, no, no. Master at work.

Audio listeners, he's... Did I get him? No. That was your strategy? Yeah, baby. He might be putting a bag down. Speaking of Pee-D. Pablo, he just whipped his shirt like a helicopter and try. So how you got to do it.

I thought I got him. I'm scared him. I'm describing to the listeners how Maul's trying to kill a fly is just like... I scared him, no. I ain't get him, but I'm scared him. He knows he knows his business. He knows his big business over here. Yeah, but, gosh, don't shout out SeaWorld.

Yeah. Fuck SeaWorld, man. But, I mean, once again, they're using us to make shit cool, even if it means making animals being held in captivity cool. I think that's going to backfire on them. I don't know if we'll even get to I love the 90s. I think something's going to go wrong. Like what?

One of the trainers are going to get dragged to the bottom of the tank and held there until they stop breathing? Well, actually, after that happened, they just moved that whale to another seaway. They were like, yo, we got to move. Put him in isolation. No, not isolation. He's just going to perform where people didn't see that. They don't know what he did.

Very Catholic priestlike. Yeah, they don't know what he did. You perish. They don't know. They don't know. He just killed somebody in San Diego. Yeah, man, I don't know, man. This is us, you know, they're using our culture once again for stupid shit.

But whatever, man, get it back. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th.

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Do we have another voice bill, Josh? Just came in. Hey guys, I was just calling in with some relationship question. I met a guy. We were talking for a few weeks. We saw each other a couple of times, but it was hard to really kind of make a date.

We finally had a date, and we hooked up. And the next day, I thought, because he was so sweet and so, like, letting me know he had a good time talking to me and things like that, that I would just match his energy to let him know that I had a fun time seeing him and being with him. And he rolled me back kind of like, oh, yeah, it was fun. And suddenly I felt like I could feel this shift.

And so I'm kind of wondering, like, is that a form of game to like, I know, I know like sweet talking and stuff is that. but to kind of lay it on thick to make someone feel so comfortable that they can, like, speak their mind. And now I'm kind of wondering, like, did I just get played? Like, he got what he wanted. And, you know, everything, one just to get me there. And, like, if, like, that's what guys do, because I definitely feel like, I just, like, I feel so thrown off. I like post hookup

what's going on but anything you guys can say thank you if you talked anything like that then I would have disappeared to after I fucked and you what man

we all thinking it all fucking I'm gonna just stop saying shit I go ahead no no I was thinking poor baby how old is this woman oh no that's a girl woman did she lose her virginity with that hookup no she probably was talking for a while

early age women learned that there could be times when a guy acts like the nicest person that he wants to like really date you and then you finally let him be and then you don't hear from him like how many movies have we seen if a nigga ask you at dinner yo what type of man you like don't tell him

that nigga will morph like the mask into whoever the fuck you say Yeah. To be. I've gone right to the bathroom whilst my face came back a whole new nigga every time

read a couple articles in the bathroom, like I know what we talk hold the conversation like no, the dims are out of control. Roy, y'all get into that.

Then she go to your IG page and it's a completely different guy. Yeah, man. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do, man. Listen, it's called game. Damaris is what it's called. Niggas run game.

Y'all run game too? You act like y'all like y'all like a nigga till y'all get that Chanel bag? No, why would you act like you like them until you get the Chanel bag? You're gonna want another one. Maul, you're just commonsense.

If I beat already, yeah. No, a lot of them buy. So I'm not buying you a Chanel bag. If I did be it. If I did, did or did be there. The fuck out of here. But back to this young lady. Yes, it sounds like he got what he wanted.

Don't beat yourself up too much about it. Like it happens. It is what it is. And, you know, just brush yourself off and get back in the game. And that's all. Yeah, that really is what you got to do. Like I, it'll be all right. There will be another nigga.

Now what you do is the next time, the next date you go on, you say, hey, listen, motherfucker. the last time I did this I gave him some pussy and he disappeared Don't do that don't do that don't do that don't do that you let him put it out there That's the problem nobody wouldn't be real no more It's 2025 baby everybody shut the fuck up and be real If you ain't being real shut the fuck up Go back into the dating pool and let them niggas know hey

It's that. Y'all want to go out. First of all, I live in New York City. Mm-hmm. You know how. hard it is to get a reservation in New York City of a Not if you make it in January. You've been fucking her since September. I don't know what I want to eat in February

in January, baby, Dee? You want me to make a reservation for February, January 1st? No, I didn't say January 1st. You could make it January 25th. Nah, that's two weeks? You got New York City fucked up. Yeah, no. And then, niggas come to New York for Valentine's Day. Yeah, no, I don't know why that. And why would you want to go out on the night that everybody's going out? Like, you can't, you can't say that. Because then that means you don't want to be seen with them on the day that everybody's out with their love. I don't want to sit in traffic.

I don't want to sit in logic. You're using logic. You got to use love. But it is a happy to see. Love or have you sitting in the Lincoln Tunnel on Valentine's. No, y'all keep bringing up restaurants. There's so much other shit and things that you can do for somebody that you care about. Now, y'all can't IG that.

Yeah, that's really old. Y'all want to go to the same fucking restaurant, all these they go to. I actually never want to go to a restaurant on Valentine's Day. Do not take me to a restaurant Valentine's Day. I have shit. to do. Like, what you want to go on Valentine's Day? Do something. You're going to want to eat, baby, Dee. But you can do, like, for example, for a Valentine's Day, I had somebody, we ordered really expensive food in, but you got me really nice gifts and we spent the whole day

together. Like, I don't feel like you're hiding me because we didn't go out. We have common fucking sense. But what? What do you do for him? You said what? What did you do for him? I got him a gift too. Okay. What about me? What about me? Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You see? You feel good now, All right? Don't you feel like a release? You felt the serotonin? Did you feel it release? Did you feel it hit your brain?

Did you feel it, baby, Dee? Yes. She's saying that, though, but I know what the gift was. Because women think pussy is a gift. It was not pussy. It was not pussy. It was an actual gift. I spent money on.

I spent over $300 on it. All right. You got wax. You just got expensive wax. She bought that nigga roll with his name on it. 100%. 100%. Why is that a women

I know my name. I don't need to know that this is my robe in my house. This is my house. Everything it is mine. Don't put my name on my robe. I still have in a last relationship. I got two rows my name on it. They sat. They are still collecting dust in the house. Like I'm not wearing I got a nice robe on my name on it and I've never worn it. I'm not a road person. It's like a it's actually a really nice robe. But I feel like it's I would have to be. I can't be in my house with that robe. Like that's like that's like a, that's like a. That's like a, it's like a, it's like a. road where I got to be on vacation because it's like so flamboyant.

Like if you was to come to the crib and I had that robe on baby that's like the fuck he got going. Dress like Nino Brown. Yeah, like it's like a flamboyant. It's dope. But it's like I got to be like on vacation really like in my in my bag. Like no, not I'm being extra.

Like I got to know that I'm being extra. I can't be at the home at the crib just chilling with that on. Bringing a robe on vacation to me is kind of sick too. That's what I'm saying. You waste in a lot of suitcase space for a fucking robe. So that's why it's like I never wore it. But it's, you know, it's nice though. It's a really nice robe.
