Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. The volume. Yo, Josh, can you do me favor? Can you look up because somebody, DM me, it was like they thought I was lying about my Serena Williams story at All-Star Weekend. Oh, when you guys shared the same birthday? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:23 So can you do me favor, Josh? Can you look up when, first look up when the All-Star game was 2001, the exact date? That'd be such a strange lie to. For real. Okay, now look up. When did the? the William's sister Simpson episode air. February 11, 2016.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Smoke that bot in your DMs. People are so still. Like, who would make that up? Yeah. Well, first of all, let's fact check, look up. Mall's celebrity birthday. And then Serena Williams' celebrity birthday. We never fact-checked that.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah, let's go. We never looked into that one. Fact-check. Yeah. Fact-checked Serena Williams' birthday. Yeah. How come Candice's. Sones hasn't done a deep dive into this one.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Yeah, yeah. When was Serena Williams born? What's her birthday? Mallgate. Okay. Oh, you guys have the exact same birth, like the year, too. Yeah, that's what I said. This exact thing.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I thought it was just September 26th. No, the exact same birthday. Yeah, and very similar, you know, paths, childhoods. It was very, I was, my last. You was serving a different type. Yeah, my was serving a different type of boy, eight boys. Bye.
Starting point is 00:01:37 You know what I'm saying? You know what? I'm saying. My last day, play. She was on the clay court. You know how that shit go. She dominated the clay court. Oh, my God. Is Hove know all this knowledge? That's like a quadruple on time? Me and Serena Williams are more alike than we are different though. Like, when you think about it, like, when you really think about it now and I don't think it's I never thought about it before. But now that I think about it, I don't think you guys have anything in common. Oh, man. Except for being at this, uh, all-star game with the same time. Yes. And being born at the same day. On the same day. Do we know the times? No, that's scary. I don't. I don't know. That's scary. I don't even want to do that. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even attempt to find that. Do you know the time you were born? Should I ask my mom like every year and she tells me, stop? Leave that girl alone? Leave that girl alone.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I asked my mom every year, what time was I born? 6.14 a.m. for me. 6.14 a.m. Yeah. My sister knows. 11.57 at night. He's born 1157 at night. You was almost born the next day? I was, I have Diana Ross's birthday. I almost had Mariah Carey's. So it's like you're the bridge between Diana and Mariah?
Starting point is 00:02:39 We didn't even know. We didn't even know who was sitting in here. Serena, Diana. Yeah. Clay Aiken. Clay Aiken. Oh, no, sorry, Lance Bass. I was confusing my gay singers.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Lance Bass from the bachelor's birthday? Yeah. No, Lance is older than you. No, not the same year. Oh, okay. But like May 4th. Okay, all right. And then I think it's like Chris Brown and Dame Dash or something like that.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I was born at 9.43 a.m. According to my sister. So is she older or you older? She's older. She was born in 942. Yeah, I can tell. So you can tell she gives she gives big sister energy. You can tell she was born in 942.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, I could tell. I could tell. She gets 42 energy. Like, I can tell this crazy. How can you tell that? She has like nurturing big sister energy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:26 All right. Yeah. That's all. And you have like young dumb younger brother. Brotherhood. Yeah, yeah. I got it. For sure.
Starting point is 00:03:33 That's what so. That's what I can tell. Did she ever pull the big sister card on you? Oh, all the time. All the time. What do you guys giggling about? I'm sorry, y'all got to put me somewhere else. Why would Peage look up who has his birthday and is Colonel Sanders or Colonel.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Colonel. Colonel Sanders has Peas's birthday. That makes sense, though. Yeah, I know, but that's how I'm like, I got to give me away from him. Let me see who actually the same day as me, like in year and everything. Does anyone know who YRN lingo is? No. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Young rich nigger, I would assume, is the YRM. That's what it's for. All the acronyms I can't keep up. Oh, is that a rapper? Oh, no, he was born in 97. So there was really nobody that's 1990. You were the only person born that day. Literally just me.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yeah, that was it. You were the only person born that day. I had the day off. We don't know how you made it here. Imagine being the only person born on a day. The year 1008, Henry King of the Franks was born in France. Hey, yo. The King of the what?
Starting point is 00:04:33 I'm just reading on this day. You could have kept that to yourself, though. You could have just read that and like skimed over. King of the Franks. Franks is crazy. King of the Franks is wild. So today I'm wearing, if anybody cares, I'm wearing a fenty underwear.
Starting point is 00:04:47 How is it? And I'm trying to figure out if I like skims of fenty more. Okay. Yeah, so I got to do some sprints. Rihannaverse scimms after we leave his. Like, figure out what. Sprint and skims is funny to me, just in general. No, but I mean, the fenty is not bad.
Starting point is 00:05:01 It's not bad. No, you got to get, like, you know, when you get out of the shower and your body's still a little wet, you got to see which ones is easier to pull on. Don't you hate pulling on your drawers when they, like, fighting against your- Hold on. I mean, I dry off usually.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Baby D want me to be kind of like glossed. Damn. Yeah. She wanted to be dead. A morning due. And put on my underwear. You know when you rush in like, and you like, damn, I'm still kind of, but you got to put it on and ain't hard to pull up. It would definitely be the skims will be easier for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Really? Yeah. The material is different on the skims than it is on the fencing. But we don't give women enough credit for thongs. What do you mean? That that's like an everyday type of underwear for some, like, I could never imagine. just walking around all day with a wedgy. Like, this isn't my appreciation.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I look at you guys like heroes for that. Yeah, because when one of my, my boxer brief legs start to rise up, it's the most uncomfortable thing in the world. Yeah. It's like, wait, women actually, like, in between the cheeks, salute you all. What do you mean? It used to rise up.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Rise where? Like, it starts rolling up. Like, you got a ball hanging out? Wait, no, no, no. But baby deal. It's not that high. It depends. At one time, my life, yeah, the underwear I had was a little old.
Starting point is 00:06:09 and started to get some wear and tear. But now I have draws that will hold. Yeah, you got to replace them. No, I got the long boxer weeks, but like down to here. And some, like, literally when you sit down to here. Not all the way up here, baby, dear. That's not. We never, we never, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I don't know how low your balls hang. I was just wondering. How low my, how low your balls hang is crazy. Okay. Real question between skims and fenty. What's more of a ball support? That's just as important as sprinting or getting out of the shower. wet and putting on clothes.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Skims, I think, man. Skims, I have not done the fenty, but skims, I will say, is very supportive. Well, they're great underwear. Yes, they are. In any situation. We are back sponsored by Boost Mobile, Unlimited Talk Text, and Data for $25 a month. Merchers on sale now. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Newroy Mall.com. Dick Dale was also born on my birthday. Who? Dickdale. It's a pretty gay birthday. Lance Bass, King of Franks, Dickendale. Lance Bass is not gay. Why are you putting that on his jacket?
Starting point is 00:07:10 it. No, he's like an icon for the gay community. Is he? Yeah. Lance Bass is gay? When the liberal chimes in and says, no, Lance is super gay. Lance Bass is gay? Who's like mediocre gay, Josh? Yes, Lance Bass. I was, what's the other guy's name? No, no, no, no, the other guys. Rest in peace, Aaron Carter. He said Aaron Carter, Nick Carter. Why did Carter catch us on what you like? No, no, no. What's the other guy's name in, uh, and, and, and, in sync?
Starting point is 00:07:41 Joey. I learned so much about. Josh. The fact that he just named off every full government names. And he might have did it in alphabetical order. And he was like this. Which is nasty.
Starting point is 00:07:52 He knew. I think it's Joey. Joey Fetone is the one. No, Joey Fetone is a greasy Italian from Brooklyn. That's what I'm saying. That's what I was like he's not gay. I'm sure he has some views about gays that he couldn't say publicly.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's why the group broke up. No, he's a true like Bensonhurst Italian. Yeah, that's what I thought it was. But Lance, you know, yes, Lance is, Lance is he's gay Though he did
Starting point is 00:08:14 open a frank stand Wasn't Joey Faton Did he compete in a Nathan's hot dog eating Contest one year? Well he owns a hot dog chain So I think maybe he was sponsoring
Starting point is 00:08:22 Well no Because only Nathan's He did it I feel like Joey Faton Did the Nathan's A lot of guys Look like Joey Fatone
Starting point is 00:08:29 On the Nathan's Oh that's Probably where you were Confusing Yeah It's like one Asian guy And then a bunch of
Starting point is 00:08:34 Joey Faton Okay Got it That ones Yes Oh that's like Really like Clever
Starting point is 00:08:41 without being without trying too hard It's his last name Yeah Which Josh spelled out for us Joey We say J.C. Shazet
Starting point is 00:08:49 Joe Egoley for Chosey Joege All right Josh Rank them now Give us your top five Jay C has the best
Starting point is 00:08:57 career Lance is Jason Josh Josh Josh He said Lance on base He said Lance on base So you don't hear him
Starting point is 00:09:05 too much He's like He's one in the Commodores He's kind of He's on base He's kind of in the background. He's just the bass, so you don't really hear him that much. But that is funny, though, because Josh is right.
Starting point is 00:09:17 J.C. is probably the best vocalist. Oh, sure. But I think that was always common. Yeah. Justin just had the star quality. I always feel like Jaycee was going to be the biggest star, though. Like when they all went solo, I, I, because Jayce had that one record. What was that one, that one record he had?
Starting point is 00:09:33 It was a slower one. It was kind of like a ballad, I think. It was kind of a slower one. I felt like that was going to really take J.C. to the next level. I checked out after Dirty Pop. That was it. That was it for me.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Once they had chains on the club with N-Sync. What happened to the Insync? Wasn't they, didn't they announce they was going on tour? What? Wait, wasn't that like a whole amount? Justin Timbley doesn't want a award show or something? Why wouldn't Justin Timberlake do the Insinct tour? He'd rather go to Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Like, I don't know. You know how much money they were staying to make on an Insync tour like this in 26? I would pay for that ticket. I would definitely. Josh, we know. Josh, we know you buy the meat and green package. They would all hold Josh.
Starting point is 00:10:14 They would hold Josh like this. They would hold Josh like a 30-inch up. Yo, that is crazy, though. As a man, how do you lay across in sync hands and just let them hold you like this? Pay an extra $1,500 for that one. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:10:36 If they're going on tour, Josh, I will pay for your meat and green ticket. That's fucked up that Justin Sembleek doesn't want to want to tour with Insync though. Is that confirmed? No, I don't want to just put shit on just like on his. his jacket. You have a computer right in front of you, baby.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Why don't you? Looking it up right now, sweetheart. I mean, I don't know. Like, is everyone in shape? Like, I've seen Joey Fetone on impractal jokers. I don't know if he's like in dancing shape. Like, I don't know if the strings can hold him up. Oh, they won't go on tour because their plans will put on hold indefinitely due to Justin Tim Blake's,
Starting point is 00:11:05 oh, recent diagnosis with Lyme disease and his ongoing solo tour commitments. So it's not because he didn't want to do it. I was in tall grass excuse. Yeah. Justin Timblet has Lyme disease and he doesn't want to, you know, doesn't want to. But his can't play with the lime though. No, but he was canceling his own tour dates. Like not before he, like, so he was scheduled to go on tour with them, but he was on his own tour and he had to cancel dates because of a lime disease and.
Starting point is 00:11:34 He got to be wrong in Long Island. He's like, girl, I got to make my show officer. I mean, let me not joke, though, because like we saw with Childers Gambino and like a lot of these artists, aren't lying. They do have health complications. Yeah. So I don't want to. Well, get well sooner, Justin Tim Lake, and hopefully we do get that tour. He probably got lime disease at that DUI stop in Long Island in that tall grass.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Probably. I think you get Lyme disease in the Hamptons. I think that's probably... For sure. That's where all the lime is at. That's where you get Lyme disease in the Hamptons. But I do do want a new additions going on tour. New addition to Insink, better tour. Come on. Bobby, listen.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I'm laying on right now. If Bobby dedicate four months to just getting, just working out and just getting right. That tour's gonna be insane. I'd rather kind of see Fat Bobby do the same choreography. Nah, you got a, Bobby got to be out of breath. Some type of shape to get his soul. When this time to do all of their solo records?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah. But that new edition tour is going to be great because they're going on with Boys to Men. I forgot who else was on that tour. I got to go for Boys to Man, y'all. I got to go. For Boys to Men? Not New Edition? I fuck with New Edition, but I just, I told you.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I prefer. boys to be more. Okay. I'm more of a ballet girl. What month is it in New York? Oh, it's coming up. Wait, Valentine's Day? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Oh, God, no. We're not outside? No. Oh, so the March 14th one makes sense. You already have Valentine's Day plans? It's going to be so fun at Prudential. For sure. Prudential is always a better show.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yeah. It was in Jersey, right? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's too local, but I prefer the potential. It's the better crowd. The New Jersey. the Prudential Center for people who aren't from New Jersey, New York,
Starting point is 00:13:21 is in Newark, New Jersey, which is one hell of a neighborhood. Very, very festive neighborhood. Yeah. And the crowd is different. Like, you go to a show at the Barclays. Yeah, it's in Brooklyn. I know what you guys hear about Brooklyn. But it feels like Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It's a bunch of fucking teenage kids. Yeah, the Barclays, a should go to show all game in Barclays. It feels like, man. Yeah. It's not much of a difference to me. Like, I know when they first announced that they was building that, arena, everybody was kind of mad. Because of gentrification?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah. Yeah. You mean the locals that had lived there for years? I'm sure they were upset that they were being moved out of the neighborhood. Just got to go back a few, go back a few blocks. Just go down. Go down Atlantic. Take a left.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah. And just stay in Brownsville. We have some walk-up tenements available for all of you. Don't worry about it. It's all good. Insink or Backstreet Boys. We did this before. In sync.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Insink. I don't think nobody will pick Bash. Yeah, I'm going Insink. Backstree Boys might have sold more records, though. I wouldn't be surprised. Let's see. But me personally just taste, my personal taste. Yeah, they got it right within sync. They worked the kinks out of what Backstreet Boys was.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Because even, like, I don't even know that the leading guy, I can see his face in Backstreet Boys, but even their leading guy wasn't even a household name. It was just the Backstreet Boys. Yeah, the Backstreet Boys had a more successful career overall due to being the best-selling boy band of all time. But they, Insync had a huge peak. They sold, Backstreet Boys sold 130 million records. checks out hard copies they printed that much plastic and syncs sold over 70
Starting point is 00:14:52 damn they sold they did twice and some fat pedophile got all the money damn the backstreet boys did get off the line am I sexual and then all his home boys backed them up and said yeah that would have been like the sickest well that's one of the sickest like moments
Starting point is 00:15:10 in music his sex and then all his crew was like yeah what How y'all know that? How y'all know that, man? How y'all came to that good food? That's supportive friends, though.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah, instead of the friends that, you know, try to shit on you when you're around women, his crew is just agreeing with everything he says, man. You got to hold your man down with the lie. Don't worry about it. Backs you boys are B2K? B2K.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Baby, do you definitely have B2K posters on your wall? I did. I actually had them hanging from the ceiling. Oh, so you could look up that. So you wanted, like, Omarian. No, not like, fresh to the ceiling. My dad. had did some type of, some type of jig where, like, he had hooks in my ceiling and he punched
Starting point is 00:15:54 holes in the posters, the big word up magazine posters. He punched holes at the top and then looped string. So the poster, like, I had a bow-wow poster, a B-2, and multiple of the B-2K guys, and they were, like, hanging down. So it was like, yeah, like, hanging from the rafters almost, in my bedroom, yep. But baby, that's why, because when we moved out of Bawaw-W on, you didn't tell Bow while you had him hanging from your shoulder i would never do that why because why why would i do that i'm sure he assumed that he would be right to assume that i would tell bough a poster in my room it came beware the dog see i'm glad you didn't tell him that yeah yeah i know baby d could have told bow that she
Starting point is 00:16:32 had him hanged from the store it wasn't just it wasn't just shad in a white wall like i mean there was a bunch of posters he was just one because you know they came with the cd i would tell brittney spares that i had him in my locker well that's okay for actually don't do that why uh-uh brittany I mean, how would it come up in conversation? I would just tell Britney Spears that I had a poster of her in my lock when I was in high school. It's kind of like what you told Serena. Like, I just feel like they don't need to know that. You don't think that.
Starting point is 00:16:58 No, Serena appreciated it. It was just bad timing. Uh-huh. Because she was on the Simpsons. That's like life. Like, that's like being cemented in history on the same. Okay, fair. What other posters did you have on your wall?
Starting point is 00:17:11 I just had Jordan. I never did too many, like, rap posters. Okay. Hallie? No, I didn't have Hallie Barry on my wall. I had a magazine that I think she was on the cover of, and that was like just always like on my dresser. Like I would just look at that magazine.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Next to the lotion. I mean, come on now. Demaris is not going to believe this, but I had Mariah Carey on my wall when she had the jean shorts on and she like cut the top of them. I think it came with the Hardbreaker CD. But I had Mariah on my wall for a long time. I had a lot of the same.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I had a lot of the slam magazine posters. I had a foldout JZ Reebok poster that said I got my MBA from Marcy Projects. Was that when you put the S. Dot card? I also had a game, remember the hurricane sneaker? Yes. I had a game promotional hurricane poster on my wall at one point.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I had a lot of nasty posters, though, man. Do people still put posters on their wall? Kids? I don't know. They'd be having grass walls now with neon signs on. I don't know. Like, my son not hanging Kai, not on his wall. We ain't doing that. Why? Kyle should sell posters. Kai should definitely sell posters. No, they don't have, they have the, uh, the big head, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:24 there's, like the, the big wall. Fat heads. Fat heads. Is that what the school? Yeah. Like, those are crazy. I wish I had that grown up. Like having a life size Jordan on my wall growing up would have been crazy. I think was it East Bay magazine? What magazine used to sell? They weren't the fat heads, but it was like the cutout things when I was a kid of sports player. Like real size. Like, you could get, uh, Dante Colpeper at like the same height. that you could like stick on your wall. That's not, that wasn't a fat head? I don't think they were called that yet.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Fat heads are like really big heads. Like fat heads are like, like Joe Fetone. No, it's like, it's like a cutout of your head, but it's bigger than your actual head. Like it's like really big. These were just like real cutouts of athletes, I think, at the time. I can't remember, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:10 We reminiscing. We hate being adults. No, it's just interesting to see how like kids in high school, like how they kind of like show their fandom now. Well, I mean, to the matter's point, like everything, their version of prom isn't like ours and their rooms are not like ours. They have like up-to-date tech shit, like real neon. Even though I did have a light up green clock that I won at the Jersey Shore,
Starting point is 00:19:32 that was neon. That I would only turn on for special occasions because I didn't know neon things could last that long. You thought the neon was going to round? Yeah, I was like, I can't get this replaced. So, you know, you had a lot of land. I had a lot. I was just, you took the word. my mouth.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I had a lot of lamp. So badly, but my mom equated that with being a pothead. I was like, I wasn't even smoking weed at that time. I thought you were about saying being gay. Because that's what I would do. My son had a lava lamp. Wait, how was lava lamp and gay? No, lava lamps weren't gay back then.
Starting point is 00:20:01 That was like, that was definitely, it was a pothead thing. I'm not surprised she thought that. Lava lamps weren't, no, they were like cool. They weren't gay. I had a lot. Your brother had a lava lamp and he was gay? there's an honest man right there I knew it.
Starting point is 00:20:16 We're not suggesting that gay people didn't have lava lamps. No, I'm saying it's gay to have a lava lamp. That's what I'm saying? I'm not saying gay people don't have lava. I'm saying it's gay to have a lava lamp. That's all. But what if you're like a hippie.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Like hippies. That's what I think of. I think of hippies when I think of lava lamps. Hippies are like, they are fluid. They don't give a fuck who they have sex with. They all about love. Yeah, it's all about love. Listen, man, you need to me to jerk you off tonight.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Come on, man. Come on over around. I didn't see that in the Woodstock, Doc. Yeah, no, that's the one they don't show you. They'll never show you that one. They'll never show you the gay sex they had at Woodstock. 98 degrees or Aaron Carter. That's kind of tough.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It's very tough. Out of my wheelhouse, I can't answer. Aaron Carter has some joints. Remember when he beat Shack in one-on-one? That was a true story. That video was a doc. I don't know. I might go 98 degrees.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Nick Lashet could kind of sing on the low. No, he can. Now he just turned, like now he's a CIA. Once you get that TV money, you never go back to the booth. It's over there. He's a Pentagon agenda to ruin the youth in dating. Well, this is disgusting. I think it's time to upgrade.
Starting point is 00:21:31 This is insane. You're right, man. You should upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro because, believe it or not, is designed to be the most powerful iPhone ever. Of course it'd be more powerful than the 16. But I'm sure you're thinking about traffic on the way, transferring your data, that can be a mess. Sometimes you just want to keep this chipped up phone

Starting point is 00:23:49 So some interesting names up here. very successful artists, very successful careers, but we're talking about the greatest peak. Peak, yes. And let's look up the definition of peak. Please look up the definition of peak, Rory. And also where, before we start, is a peak, is that like a year?
Starting point is 00:24:07 What do we call it a peak? It could be two or three years your peak. Okay. You could be like two or three years. I feel like like two years. I feel like once you hit three, that's kind of like three is a rap career. Three years are top as a rap career. You're a legend now.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Yeah, like, put you in the rock and roll hall of thing. Yeah, if you have three great years, like in a row, like, you're, like, you're cemented somewhere in history. Like, he was incredible. He or she was incredible. All right, so dictionary.com doesn't have a time frame, but reach your highest point either as a value or a specific time. Yeah. So, all right, we can speculate with the years. But what we wrote down off Mike just off the top of our heads, Nelly, 50, Eminem, Drake, and Wayne, as far as who had the big. peak.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Nelly went diamond with physical copies. Yes. Now, did 50M, Drake, and Wayne have longer runs than Nelly? Yes. Sure. Well, 50 and Nelly were close as far as music runs, but I'm kind of, I'm with Nelly, 50, and M&M as my debate in my head out the gate. Of greatest peak.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yes. Because I think M from Marshall Matters, M&M show 8 Mile time, I think M was at the hot, like... Why you don't got Jay on this list? What would you even consider Jay's peak? Because I hate that conversation when people say Jay was never the number one rapper of any year. And I'm like, okay, so? He's had a
Starting point is 00:25:36 dominant 20-year career. But what did they mean by that when he was never the number one? Like, I guess never... They were on my album sales? Probably. Stats. I don't know. But I've seen that argument and I get it. Yeah, there's years where but no matter what,
Starting point is 00:25:49 if you're number two for 20 years, like it's a pretty good fucking career. Nellie, though, I don't know. It kind of goes back and forth between 50 and dominating the world at that time. Could you escape G-unit from 2004 to 2007? You had Kanye in there, you had Nellie in there, you had M, you had, like,
Starting point is 00:26:17 there was a lot of shit going on, but could you escape anything G-unit? Anything 50 did in those years went platinum. Like, I love Yale. But if you put Yale in another system, I don't know if he's immediately going gold first week. You put out give or try and then beg for mercy right in the same year, then wait and give game seven hits,
Starting point is 00:26:40 then put out buck that goes platinum, banks goes platinum, Yale goes gold. I don't, we're like, I still equate that to 50 cent in some degree. But then you can also give M that credit because M, I feel like, was at his peak and then gave us 50 cents. Yeah. So. I mean, Jay said only dudes moving units and pimp juicing us. So.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I don't know, man. Y'all got to go back and look at the numbers that Jay was doing first week back then, man. Were they? He was doing a million. Is there, is there a better back-to-back country grammar to Nelliville versus get rich to massacre? that would I think that would define it in my opinion who sold more there do you guys want hear what chat gpt said are we wait are we adding jZ into this or are we just doing i don't think i also like not even really want to add drake into this because yes Drake has had a peak per se
Starting point is 00:27:38 but he's kind of just been dominating for 15 years like i don't know if there was a peak per se i wouldn't even be able to like point out drake's peak i don't think that's i don't say because i don't really think he has one. What's his peak? You could talk about his- You have to have a peak? Exactly. Yeah. You could also because, that's very important, right?
Starting point is 00:27:56 That's where I can't really put like Drake and Jay in this. People, you have to have a fall off to have a peak. People could say, or people would say, it's been said before, about as far as like the quality, they can say that Drake has reached a peak quality-wise, right? Sure, but that's the bad. The people say that about plenty of artists, right? So they've said that his best album was years. years before, whatever. But numbers
Starting point is 00:28:19 wise, no, because I think he continues to sell more and more. Even what I think is his best music sold less than what I think is his worst music. So that's where I don't know, I kind of want to leave Drake out of this conversation per se
Starting point is 00:28:35 because it's tough. Jay as well. But then also in the same point, like either way there is a peak for Drake and Hove. We would just have to find it based off album sales, I guess. But neither of them had a like fall off the way that's my brother we've kind of like which is fucked up to say because i think nelly 50 and m and wayne are all legends in their own right but you can clearly see a fall off
Starting point is 00:28:59 but now we're moving the goalpost because m&m still outsells everybody every time he comes out even if we don't like the albums has m ever fallen off emm yes yes what are we talking about musically subject that's subjectively we already know how i even feel about that but what did Makazzi sell. It fucking probably went diamond. Every time M goes and releases a project, it's, yeah, though, if
Starting point is 00:29:26 selling 450K is in one week is falling off, I don't know what the fuck falling off is. Now, 50, I don't think he fell off. He just chose to go different directions with his career and didn't focus on music. But there
Starting point is 00:29:41 was clearly a musical falloff when you get to the animal ambition or what, before I self instruct years. Curtis, I think, was the beginning of, not a fall, but his focus of music. Nelly, after you did it was a sweet and salty, sweet suit. What's this double-out suit? Sweetsuit.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Sweet and salty is great. Are you hungry? I couldn't remember the name of the double-outle-old. I could see the album cover of my head. Are you pregnant? What's wrong? Sweet and salty. First of all, if I was, it's my choice.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Yes, that's the fact. That is a fact. So yeah, there was a fall off there. So that's where I'm more focused on Nellie and 50 cent. And I think 50 just because he dominated everything else had the highest peak that I've seen in rap. Wayne did musically. I mean, you couldn't escape Wayne from, shit, 07 to 2011. Could you escape Wayne?
Starting point is 00:30:44 But again, that was four years. And that was of dominance, though. 15 years ago. That's dominance. But the year doesn't matter. What you mean? If you say it was 15 years ago,
Starting point is 00:30:55 that doesn't, like, it doesn't matter. No, no, that's still, that was, if we're saying just peak,
Starting point is 00:30:58 then yeah, that was, that was his peak. But when you think about it, it's like, damn, that was 15 years ago that we talked about this peak
Starting point is 00:31:07 that arguably one of the greatest rappers had. Like, just think about that. 15 years ago that one of the greatest rappers had their peak. You know how many,
Starting point is 00:31:16 like, new kids are walking around that, probably was like four, five when Wayne had his peak. Like, I haven't probably understood, probably 05 to 2011, 2012, Wayne nominated. O7, I think, would probably be his biggest year when he did all those features and a million.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Well, so then let's talk about that's a peak. So Chad GBT is saying Wayne's peak is 2007 to 2009. Okay. I'll go with that because off the top of my head, 07, if I remember correctly, was like the biggest Wayne year. So we'll go Wayne 07. 07. It's a 07 07.
Starting point is 00:31:48 50 cent 03 to 05 Okay M&M 2000 to 2004 Okay Drake 2015 and present Wait
Starting point is 00:32:00 And then Saying present is criss Also 2015 What Nah they gotta go Yeah Drake was Drake was fucking shit up in 2011
Starting point is 00:32:08 2011 2011 Well no it's not about him fucking shit up We're talking about him being As high as he is now And continuing that on So reaching his height Yeah reaching his height
Starting point is 00:32:17 Take Drake out of this 2015 to present. Like, I'm not arguing. And Nelly was 2000 to 2003 as well. Well, 2000 to 2003. So what Chad GBT says, because I asked them up, you got to ask them a whole bunch of questions. Where's Chad GBT from?
Starting point is 00:32:33 Like, what city is he from? Israel. What was he listening to? They said the greatest peak, if you just want to do greatest peak of career-wise, is 50 cent. He wins because Get Richard I Try and sold 872K first week and went nine times platinum,
Starting point is 00:32:47 one of the biggest rap debut. ever. He had a number one album man, number one single simultaneously for weeks. And he also dominated fashion, mixtapes, radio, street culture. Fashion. Listen, I'm not saying that everyone wanted to dress like 50 the way they maybe wanted to dress like Kanye. But the way he dominated with Reebok and Junet clothing. Let's not act like that was not something that should be on the stat sheet. And everybody and they show, even when he did his little comeback show in New York, niggas was showing up dressed like 50 cent back in the days. But that was niggas that just came home. so you can't be mad at them.
Starting point is 00:33:20 You don't think that GUN & Whitebeater is an iconic piece of fashion that should be putting in time iconic for the wrong reasons though because you can be iconic for the wrong reasons. But you're still iconic. That's the fact. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Oh, for sure. For sure. But. Roy, he liked them thin, the thin strap tank tops. I didn't have the body for it. Ew. Hey, a man said he didn't have the body for some. No, I definitely, I had the G unit Reeboks.
Starting point is 00:33:47 I had a bunch of G unit like t-shirts. I had a G-unit button up. But I never had the wife-ed-old. That was an interesting time because you did that because you're from Queens. But there was other people of the-Town. We was not wearing G-U-Nit Uptown. Okay, yeah, you're probably right. Was not.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Niggas was wearing Rockaway. So were we. Niggas was wearing, you know, E. Nietzsche. Yeah. When they got really colorful. Some of the Sean John even. South Pole.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I mean, you never let me get them. People's wearing South Pole. I was, we wasn't wearing South Falls. But we was wearing, what was the other coats though? North faces.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Yeah. Still. Maybe, maybe a first down. Maybe, maybe. Some dudes just went first down. I never was really jacking the first down. All right, yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:36 Uptown probably dresses better, but you guys are wearing the Elmo shirt with the Elmo hat and the Cookie Monster shirt and the Cookie Monster hat. So sometimes I want to hear from Uptown. You guys have had some bad trucks as well. That was,
Starting point is 00:34:46 that was the, Bronx and the northern part of Harlem. Yo, but don't do that because Queens, y'all was wearing the baseball hats that had the Chinese letters on it. Like, that's not the Yankees, fan. I don't know what that is. Like, y'all, y'all love. Can you pull that up?
Starting point is 00:35:01 First of all, Queens County is the most diverse county in the United States. We are a melting pot and we're representation of every culture. Yeah. We're inclusive. Yeah, but I mean, those hats with the Chinese letters were so nasty, those fittets. I thought they were fired. Those, I never did those. But this was coming off when people were getting
Starting point is 00:35:20 Chinese tattoos didn't even know what they meant. Yeah, that was crazy. That was a weird time that the city was in. I don't know what was going on. All I know, in the third half in the Bronx, everybody had an Elmo shirt with an Elmo fitted. That's why I never understood the whole Asian hate thing. We love Asians in New York.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Look at the hats we was wearing at one time. We hated Asians since when? That was never a thing. You're racist. They have a black best friend. Yeah, that's not. Come on, man. It's the same crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I voted for Obama. Do you want to get back to the debate, please. We was debating who dressed better between Queens and Uptown. That was part of the debate, but yes. So back of the day, Uptown takes that kick, but I am a huge advocate of defending the borough of Queens now because everyone dresses off. Notts set your back with the leather du rag, though.
Starting point is 00:36:01 But he brought it back. He set y'all back. Noss is fly. Knows can dress. He's one of the better dressed rapists from Queens. For sure. But when Noss put that leather du rag on, y'all was down 30.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I'm not going to lie. The leather du rag was insane. But the Bronx. brought the leather fitted. Like, that was y'all. Terrible. Brooklyn tried to, like, adopt it, but that was definitely a Bronx thing.
Starting point is 00:36:24 I don't know about it. Over the ears. Nah, don't do that. See, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. We wasn't doing that.
Starting point is 00:36:34 But look what Queens was done now with Amay Kith. Like, all the dope shit now comes from Queens designers. So, yeah, we had a rough time. Yeah. But I still think that should be on 50 stat sheet because. No, Gene Unit. Clothing was definitely... People in the Bronx were probably not Jack and the junior shit.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But everyone else in the rest of the world was. I'm sure 50 wasn't mad when he saw the numbers in the Midwest come out. Like, middle America? And Africa. That's all they was wearing. Yeah. All they was wearing. It said 50s peak is widely considered the most powerful and short term dominant in
Starting point is 00:37:02 rap, not the longest, but the highest spike. Eminem will be considered the biggest global impact peak. Like if you talk about global, he's easily number one, widest reaching. They said 50s was more intense, but M's was more massive and broad. broad. Yeah. If we're going off what our definition of peak is, I do think 50 in the scope of everything had the highest peak in hip hop. Well, I mean, that's, that's his artist. So it makes sense. The numbers check out. You know where the biggest peak? Paul Rosenberg.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Jimmy Iveen has had the biggest peak in hip hop history. Dr. Dr. There's another name. Nellie music wise, though, I mean, I don't know if you could really fuck with the country grammar to Nellivu days. Yes, they're saying, but I'm looking at the numbers. MM in 50 smoke when it comes to peak they smoke now Nelly when Nellie when that when that down down baby when that video hit I knew that was a hit because I couldn't like not for the first day I saw that video I remember looking at though I was like who is this like who who is this he's not from New York he's not from LA because at that he's not from Atlanta so at that time that's where all the the best you know rappers were from it was like this guy's from St. Louis ask his
Starting point is 00:38:13 tattooist this is what they this is how they dress in St. Louis this is how they talk this is how that was our introduction to yeah essentially the streets of st louis like okay it was it was nelly like okay and then when the album came out and you got into some of the album cuts and you started hearing the shit that nelly was rapping about nelly's nelly's career that old 2000 to 2003 nelly was a pop star like without a doubt like i'm talking about t rl m tv vm a's any award show nelly was there whether he was presenting performing or accepting and performing or accepting award. Like, Nelly's, that three years of 2000, 2003, without a doubt, Nelly had one of the greatest
Starting point is 00:38:52 rap peaks of all time. Yeah. Vocal or G unit? G unit. Bro, I never saw a nigga win Vocal. I don't even know what Vocal is. You don't remember Vocal? I remember, you remember, uh, it never peat.
Starting point is 00:39:06 You remember Apple bottoms, right? Yes. So Vocal was the mail line to the Apple bottoms. Ah. Yeah. Who was in charge of Apple Bottoms again? T-Pain. T-Pain, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:15 No. Shut up, Lori. Shut up. Who was it? He ain't being in charge of Applebottom's crazy. That's why I'll listen to him. Who created Applebottom? That was Nellie's line.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Oh, it was. Yeah. I was young. You got to understand. I was like fucking seven when all this shit was happening. So I don't fucking remember that shit. Apple bottoms was Nellie's clothing line. I will say, though, coming off to Moll's point of country grammar being what it was,
Starting point is 00:39:39 the follow up having hot in here, Pimp Juice, Air Force One's Dilemma, Work It, Rock the Mike remix, and number one. is an insane follow-up to the country rammer album. Like, that could be debated against massacre. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Like every song in this fucking... These are the singles in order. Hot and Here, Dilemma, Air Force Ones work at Pimp Jues. Five singles. Damn. That's fucking crazy. I won't, didn't, Nelly get any, like, check from Nike or...
Starting point is 00:40:13 For the Air Force? Yeah. Well, he had a shoe. he had a Barclay. Okay. A little picture of the Nelly Barclays. How did you,
Starting point is 00:40:21 you guys feel Uptown for Nellie kind of being the face of Uptowns? That was always weird. That must have it. Before Nellie came out and we was a hundred pair Uptowns deep already
Starting point is 00:40:33 like in the closet. Remember when they were like 60, 70 bucks? Oh, I miss it. The A-Max Charles Barclan Nellys, those was crazy. I remember. Oh, it was hard. Now when those dropped?
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah, no, that was a dope. Yeah, Nellie, fuck the city up with those. Fuck the city. he fucked the city up with those The city was one way The next day Nellie fucked the city up with those for sure The Air Dirties
Starting point is 00:40:53 All right So well Isn't your favorite rapper like Murphy Lee or some shit Top of his Spotify Nellie's your goat Nellie's your hove Because he represented In the middle of America right
Starting point is 00:41:06 There you go But I mean around our age Nellie was like that guy No for sure Listen bro Nellie Nellie's run incredible. Because my friend Brian really used to wear a band-aid on his face when we were 12. That was gay.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Now, there was a video of Gen Zier's being asked if they knew who this person was. So somebody was holding a picture of Nelly. And nobody... I can't. I don't know who... And Nelly Chaper. You guess who Nelly what? This is insane.
Starting point is 00:41:37 These are college students, right? I'm assuming. And name this celebrity. I can't. I don't know who that is. And in this celebrity. You want to live a kid. him doosies with a backward jeans.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I don't know who that is. And in the celebrity. Hey, he's wearing red. He's probably not affiliated. It's not bow wow, even though it looks like him. What? And him's celebrity. It looks like.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Fine. Whoever that is. Whoever it is. And in the celebrity. Almost looks like 50 cents? Nah, that's not 50 cents. And in the celebrity. Tupac.
Starting point is 00:42:03 What? No. And name the celebrity. I've never seen that first in my life. And in the celebrity. Not 50 cents. And in the celebrity. I'm a swiftly in a K-pop band.
Starting point is 00:42:10 If it's not Sabrina, Olivia, Taylor, Bill Pump, I don't know. And in the celebrity, that's a big dog. And in a celebrity. I don't even want to try it. And in the celebrity. I've seen him before.
Starting point is 00:42:18 What's his famous song? Listen to the name, bro. Not the girl, but the guy. Who is the guy? Jay Z? I don't know. I don't know, bro. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:30 I don't know, bro. And in the celebrity. That's key sweat. All right. And in the name the celebrity. The reason why Keith sweat is crazy is way older than him. How do you know Keith sweat, but not no. No.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Crazy. Why do you know. crazy. And in the celebrity. Isn't that, um, no, that's not. All right, but is this one of those things where it's like the fake content? No, no, this is real. I think it's real. But this is why those kids are probably like 18, 19. That's why I'd be so bad at this like on the street content. Because if somebody came with the idea, let's show people Nelly. I'd be like, why are we wasting our time? Everyone's going to guess that. That is crazy that people can see a picture of Nelly, like young kids, 18, let's say 17, 19, 20 years old and don't know who he is. Like, dude, I'm trying to.
Starting point is 00:43:13 or like but see again the biggest artist for three years when they were like two years old like yeah but you can't say that baby d because i knew if you showed me a picture of marvin gay when i was 19 i would know marvin gay is one of the biggest artists of all time nellie is one of the biggest rappers of all time in top what what do you mean if you're doing biggest rappers of all time in top what i mean definitely from his time in 2003 that's from his time are you saying Marblegay is one of the biggest artists of all time. We all should love him. Nelly, so he has a diamond rap album.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yes. With physical copies. Yes. That's one of the biggest rap artists of all time. I understand that. If you go by numbers, Fettywap would be one of the biggest rap artists of all time. Shibed on this list from best peaks. And there's one of the people, there's people who would not recognize him because the longevity
Starting point is 00:44:05 was not there when it came to the career. Longgevity is more important when you want the kids to know who you are. But Nellie is still currently. like active. He's still like on social media. He's still like on shows. He still, he didn't just have a peek and disappeared forever and we don't know. He disappeared for a long time. A long time. Nelly is back now and back doing shit and we're seeing him because he got a shot. He started dating Ashanti. That became a thing. Ashanti got pregnant. He got a show. Nelly disappeared for years on years on years where nobody was talking about him. As much as I want to defend the youth, I still like, I feel like
Starting point is 00:44:41 artists that are 30 years prior to my existence. I would know who the fuck they are. There were also less artists back then. These kids are exposed to so much more music than we ever were. So much more music. And on top of that. It makes it easier for this era because in the 2000s, there wasn't thousands of artists the way there is now.
Starting point is 00:45:00 The big artist, the one who we knew about, we either learned through our parents or because they were on all types of commercials and this and that and the albums were hanging up in the Target windows. and we were going and physically shopping, the celebrity was so much more different. Now there's hundreds fucking of them. And if you go into your phone, if somebody's not in your algorithm,
Starting point is 00:45:20 which we say all the time, if this ain't in my algorithm, I didn't even know they dropped something. I didn't even know that happened because it's not in your algorithm. Are you seeing what I'm saying? These kids have been growing up in the digital age
Starting point is 00:45:31 being accustomed to digital fucking artists. Like Nelly, I can understand why somebody wouldn't know who Nellie was. To me, it's a parents thing, like, Maybe. It starts in the home. You're right. No.
Starting point is 00:45:45 It starts in the home, Rory. You're absolutely right. It's the parents. This is why the Democrats are ruining the nuclear family. Yeah, yeah. So no one can identify Nellie. It's the parents. No, but that really, why I know a lot of the artists before my time is because my parents
Starting point is 00:46:00 were listening to them. Like, I wouldn't, if I didn't grow up in the household, I grew up in, I don't know if I'd be able to spot Phil Collins out the gate. Yeah. But I can because he was in my house. And let's end. So now they're like 18, 19, right? Which means that their parents are probably between your age and your age.
Starting point is 00:46:17 How often do y'all play Nelly? Every night before I go to bed. So you know what I'm saying? So like let's, and giving Nelly all his shit, but let's be fucking for real. How often are y'all playing Nellie? I got Amaro's sports set that came with a basketball hoop, the soccer thing, and a baseball bat, and I played Nellie batter up when she picked up the back. Okay. And that was,
Starting point is 00:46:40 I was like a week ago. That's so cool. That's so cool. But that's not something that you're playing back to back to back to back. That's not what you're doing. No, I'm not in the crib just banging Nelly's hits back to back to back. Like, I fuck with Nelly. But if you came to my crib and you heard Nelly begging, you'd be like, yo, you're going.
Starting point is 00:46:56 You're all right. What you doing? I mean, I thought. You're all in my head. You better relax. That's my shit. That's my shit. That's something I actually would play in my crib.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah, that's my shit. But that's not something that you're going to go to. to put your kids onto. I'm playing Dilemma for Amara when she's like of age. I'm sure. But when I'm talking about what you listen to regularly, it's not about playing something for Amara.
Starting point is 00:47:20 It's about what you play regularly in your crib. Amara gonna sing the fuck out of emotional fucking oranges. She's gonna know all that shit. But she's not gonna know no fucking Nellie. Until you put her on physically go and put her on to Nellie. You're gonna have to do that. Sometimes you gotta let the kids do their own digging
Starting point is 00:47:37 and find the grades. they have to find the legends themselves kids don't do that anymore yeah like I had to I dug through the crates and saw that off the wall album and just was like who is this? Yeah you had to yeah I discovered Michael on my own
Starting point is 00:47:50 yeah I didn't my mom wasn't just playing the hits so she had to go on Michael was still active when you was a kid you're like you discovered the Jumanji game how far in the crate did you have to find to get to off the world? It was the second one the biggest artist of all time
Starting point is 00:48:02 at his peak when you were a child like it was the second album it was the second album in the crate I was like yeah I want to hear this play this one Yeah. No, that didn't surprise me at all. It made me feel old as fuck, but it didn't surprise me at all. I guess.
Starting point is 00:48:14 I mean, do you think they'd be able to recognize 50? Yes. But that is because of who 50 is today. Are you seeing what I'm saying? If 50 just stopped being 50 and just disappear, caused some cases, went away. It'd be different. But 50 is still trolling, niggas, on the shade room to this day.
Starting point is 00:48:32 They think he's the IG influencer. Yeah, exactly. Real shit. I mean, M, just because he's white. They probably know him. I mean, all the rappers look like Wayne now, so that could be, that could really like cross their wires. They know Little Wayne. But that's my thing.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Wayne came out before Nellie. How do you know Little Wayne and not Nellie? Because Wayne, well, Wayne's, Wayne had a longer run than Nellie, a longer run. He has more kids. He has the famous baby mamas. Wayne has a lot that would keep him really. He has a famous fiance? He just got her.
Starting point is 00:49:10 He had her for years. Broke up and got back. Okay. Broke up and got back together. You didn't grow up knowing that that was Lauren London's baby father, that that was Nivia's baby father. You didn't grow up knowing those things.
Starting point is 00:49:20 That Reg. His daughter, Little Wayne's daughter, became so culturally relevant with the fucking kids. I guarantee autumn kids know her because she used to go viral all the time. So then you have that. His baby mother's on a fucking,
Starting point is 00:49:30 on a TV show, a couple reality TV shows that they grew up watching. Like, there's multiple. things that go into that. Also, just the longer career and more kids. More culturally relevant. He's out here. They said that Wayne, Chad GBC,
Starting point is 00:49:44 said Wayne had the biggest cultural peak. Like, he ran the culture. He had the biggest peak when it came culturally. Not numbers, but culturally. And that makes sense. Not mad at that. Y'all, I love y'all sticking up for Nelly, though. I fuck with Nelly. Y'all should stick up with him, but I'm not surprised them kids don't know him. I'm very surprised. Just knowing a picture of Nellie and you don't know who that is, That's that, I thought it was fake, but you can see in their reaction.
Starting point is 00:50:10 They genuinely did not know who they were looking at. But you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if they know a song or know the name, but not recognize the face. Oh, he was singing along and then who was? That made, yeah, not knowing a song. Yeah, knowing a song. Yeah. Knowing the song and knowing the artist.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Like if they say, Nelly, oh, I know Nellie. They know who he is, but to recognize his face, especially when he was so much younger, I can understand why they thought he was bow wow. They don't fucking know. Thinking Nelly is BOWO. Yeah, you know Chris Cross, but not Nelly. When somebody said, Chris Swet. Keith Sweat.
Starting point is 00:50:39 But they obviously don't know Keith Sweat because they thought Nellie was him. So they don't know Keith Sweat. They know the name. But if you know the name and then you think that he looks like Keith Sweat, like you think you're looking at it, which means in your mind you kind of have an idea of what Keith Sweat looks like. Like to even say Keith Sweat don't look nothing like Nelly. We know that. So that's my thing. It's like how can you in your mind these young kids even say Keith Sweat, who was a star in the 80s and early 90s?
Starting point is 00:51:06 when they weren't even born, you go to Keith Sweat and you're looking at Nelly. So my mom listened to. I think I remember that guy. That's like insane. But just, but just think about that,
Starting point is 00:51:18 that they would look at Nelly and say Keefe Sweat. Their grandmamas was probably listening to Kep Sweat. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Because they know what they're your age. But I was listening to Keefe Sweat. He wasn't listening to Keith Sweat.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I mean, not when, like, at his peak, but like we listen to Keith Sweat in high school for sure. Oh, yeah, okay. it's timeless music. Yeah, of course, but it's not like, you know, timeless music didn't stop at my generation. I feel like we were the last generation to listen to the timeless music before our time. I don't think these kids listen to the timeless music from my era. What would you consider time music? We listened to all the timeless music from Maul's era. What do you think, what would you consider timeless music from your era?
Starting point is 00:52:01 I mean, we just went through the 2000s Rolling Stone List, which I think, that top 10 was pretty spot on. And all 10 of those albums are timeless to me. Well, that backup Josh, just so we can revisit that. Of course, there's an exception to the rule. There are kids that still absolutely love music. I'm speaking in general, like the masses of kids. I just don't think, because I think we all retain music the same way,
Starting point is 00:52:25 whether it was from tapes to CDs. This era, they don't even know what that's like. So I don't think they even have to go research. I think they just listen to whatever is, put in their algorithm out the gate. You can go to number one, Josh. You don't have to show us 99. I'm sorry, not Rolling Stone.
Starting point is 00:52:44 It was complex that put out the top whatever albums of the 21st century. My Beautiful Dark Fins of Fantasy, give Richard I trying, blueprint, anti, Marshall Mathers LP, Damn, Take Care, Blonde, Beyonce, House of Balloons. I think those are 10 timeless albums
Starting point is 00:53:05 that I don't know if these kids are listening the way I went back to Maul's era and Maul went back to his older brother's era. Like, I just don't think kids do that anymore. I think my generation was the last generation to do that as a whole. What makes those albums timeless? Because it hasn't even been enough time to say that those albums are timeless. Which, the ones he just named? Blonde?
Starting point is 00:53:28 Blonde is a timeless album. It's one of the greatest written albums. You can play that any year. It's not going to sound dated. The concert. The lyrics are not going to. I'm not arguing about blonde. First of what,
Starting point is 00:53:38 I'm not going to name which one. He is 25 years old. I'm not going to name which ones I'm referring to on the album. I mean, on that list because I'm not fighting when on fucking stand bases. But some of those albums are not timeless. They may feel timeless to, in my opinion, they may feel timeless to us because of how much we love them
Starting point is 00:53:56 because they're all amazing fucking album. We just spoke about that. I told you, I don't think my beautiful dark twist of fantasy is better than graduation. To me, I don't think it's a better I don't think it's more timeless than graduation at all. I don't. It's a great album, but me personally, I go to graduation way before I go.
Starting point is 00:54:14 How many years do you need for it to be timeless? I would go, I think 25 is good. I think 20 is good. If album still sounds good, 25 is the latest time was time. Then Get Richard I Tryin was 03. Blueprint was 2001. Marshall Mathers' LP was 2000. Like I think it's safe to say that those are timeless albums.
Starting point is 00:54:39 For sure. Like even when I started listening to I'matic, Timeless album. It probably wasn't that old. Like, I don't know, 12, 13, I probably like really got into Elmatic. They came out in 94. I think everyone was pretty okay with saying Elmatic was timeless at that time. For sure.
Starting point is 00:54:57 So, and because hip-hop is the youngest genre, I think we have a different scale of timeless. as far as albums go. Now, if you think they showed those kids a picture of Frank Ocean, they would know who he was? I don't know. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:55:12 That's crazy to me. But even Frank, like, at his peak, never really showed his face. They're not even on his, his faces are barely on his album covers. Like, he's not. Okay, so to my point, Nelly being who he is,
Starting point is 00:55:24 face being as recognized as it is, not to them. Split with Sultan and sure. Not to them, but the picture they showed was the iconic band. Like, that was a thing. He inspired. a hold look. So for them not to know Frank Ocean, who is relevant, it was closer to their age
Starting point is 00:55:40 than Nelly is, and they don't know who Nellie is, what the fuck do these kids know? They know what's going on right now. Do you think they know Usher? Yes, but that's because of what Usher is doing now. Was that because of the Super Bowl? Oh, yes. No, before the Super Bowls, the cherries, all of that. I'm dead ass. I'm not laughing at all. I'm not laughing again. laughing at the fact that that's true. Being able to recognize us and like, oh, that's the cherry man. That's a cherry man. Cherry man, Freddie is his name.
Starting point is 00:56:13 He'd be on skates and shit, right? Yeah, yeah, he's skating around on the stage and shit. He's skating around. What? That's wild. This episode is brought to you by Walden University Mall. You know I've had not the best of luck when it comes to colleges, but finally I've found a place where I can actually make a difference
Starting point is 00:56:35 and I feel like our listeners want to do the same and that's why we're here to tell you about Walden University. For over 50 years, Walden has helped working adults like you get the W with the knowledge and skills to build the future you want and make a difference where it matters most. Well, I think it's time.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I think you and I should both get our college degrees. If I go to college? Yeah, because anytime I'm filling out an application, I just put high school diploma and I feel weird about it. So you want to go to college. Because there's so many other bubbles. I feel like we should go back. If you've been waiting for the right moment,
Starting point is 00:57:03 this is it head to waldon u.edu and take that first step walden university set a course for change certified to operate by shev i mean we were talking about the nelly country grammar nellyville back-to-back albums who do you think has the best three album run of all time two is too easy and by by three album i mean first album to third album can't cherry pick you know you're talking about rappers only um we could start a rap but we could we could move on i mean if we go outside of rap, then we're looking at Michael Jackson off the wall, bad thriller, and then I think the conversation's over.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Usher got something to say? To who? My Way Confessions, 8701. To who? The best three consecutive album run? Who he got something to say to? To the conversation of best three album runs. It went my way, 8701 Confessions, right?
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah. I love Usher. That's a crazy. It's a crazy run. It ain't them three that he just named from that Michael, that Jackson. No. No, I was saying. If we're dear.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Like, okay. The con was over if we. Maybe let me explain something to you. First of all, I found Michael, I discovered Michael Jackson, right?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Like, I don't think you're talking to. Who are you talking to? I'm just saying three album runs. Nelly is in the conversation. I mean, not Nelly. Usher's in the conversation.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Well, they're saying best three album run by the numbers, Eminem. I'm not jacking that. Marshall Mathers, EPLP, the Eminem show, and encore by the numbers.
Starting point is 00:58:36 That is incredible, though. But if we're song when his first album was Slim Shady LP. Even Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP. Oh, you said from the first album to the third, yeah. Was My Wave Usher's first album? That I mean, I remember, unless it was. Baby D. I don't know. First album?
Starting point is 00:58:53 What you're saying? I don't know. I was only comparing him to Michael Jackson because I'm never comparing nobody. Okay, so that's what I'm saying. Like you're saying, I don't know. I agree with you on that if it's against anybody else. But I thought we were talking about. But you see how crazy this is? Because I remember being in L.A. Right. And going to get breakfast and going into this restaurant. And Usher was in there eating breakfast too, and nobody knew who he was. What year was this? Was this the year you discovered, Michael?
Starting point is 00:59:15 Two years ago. He had his Vegas residency. And I'm sitting there. Usher was sitting by himself eating pancakes and nobody noticed. Yes. I'm sure people noticed that left him alone. No, no, no. They did not.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Was this at Malibu Soho House or something? No. He would be recognized there. But no. But people would leave him alone there. Like, they did not. I'm talking about people, and sat down. I didn't even look at him.
Starting point is 00:59:42 And I'm like, yo, Usher is sitting right there eating breakfast by itself. And people are just walking in, sitting down and nobody's even looking at. Like, nobody even, like, gave him the salute. Like, I said with something because he left through the back, I was sitting by it in the back. And he walked past me and I just gave him like a salute.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Like, I didn't, you know, say much to him. But like, like, the fact that Usher is who he is. And he was sitting in a fucking restaurant in California in L.A., having breakfast. And nobody in the restaurant even, like, looked at him and acknowledged him was insane to me. This was two years ago, I'm talking about. He had his Vegas residency already. So that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:00:19 It's like, and it wasn't young kids in the restaurant. It was, you know, people my age, maybe a little younger, like. What color were there? It was Asians, white, black. Like, it was all type of people in there. Nobody even. And I purposely looked at that to see if anybody was going to fan out and be like, because you would have a right to fan out if you weren't.
Starting point is 01:00:38 to a restaurant, Usher sitting there by itself eating. You're like, what the fuck? Like, it's one of the greatest R&B artists of all time. Nobody even looked at them. If I seen Usher in a restaurant, I'm going to pretend Usher ain't there too. But I've always felt like that way. You had Bowen hanging from your ceiling and shot an episode with him and said nothing to him. You may have said hello and that was it.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Yeah. I don't, I don't, I want them to feel, I can only imagine how hard it is to live your life being that famous. I don't want to be another stress or add on to it. Live your fucking life. I'm not going to tell you. I'm not saying nobody should have ran up to him and asked for pictures while he was eating pancakes. No.
Starting point is 01:01:13 No. But nobody even said hello. I mean, we joke about me and my fandom, but like in real life off the mic, I would leave Usher alone. Of course, I'd be like, oh, shit, that's Usher, but I would never say. Yeah, I would. I didn't bother him. I didn't say it. I said, no, I know.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Peace to him when he was leaving. But I think most people ironically are like that, at least in major cities. Yeah. Like you saying nobody recognized him. I'm sure that somebody recognized him. I think people just left him alone, which is nice. I get it. Like in New York, that's pretty common.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Like Chris Ravis just walks down Bleaker Street, nobody's going to bother him, except for us when we're shooting a promo. Yeah. But at least we had a purpose. Yeah, we were working. But we looked nuts doing it. Even people were looking at us, like, why are you filming them?
Starting point is 01:01:52 Leave him alone. Yeah. That's Chris. Leave him alone. He's fucking able to. He's here every day. He walks in every day. Well, going back to the biggest three album, by the numbers.
Starting point is 01:02:00 So they said Eminem has the first one. They said the runner up would be Drake would take care. Nothing was the same in views as far as sales. He said he has huge. huge streaming numbers, but nowhere near M's physical sales, still the most dominant streaming era three album run. I don't really care about the sales, but... I mean, but sales do matter, especially if you're talking about back then. If I add Drake to this list, if it's not, if you don't have to go with the first three,
Starting point is 01:02:24 if you do, nothing was the same, take care to, if you're, no, was it views? It was take care, nothing was the same to views. That's, that's one of the most insane three album runs in history, but let's stick with the one to three. I think Kanye, college dropout, late registration, to graduation is absolutely insane. Not for nothing. I think Wayne Carter 1 through 3 is crazy. I know Carter 1 isn't like revered the way a lot of people's shit is,
Starting point is 01:02:48 but I put that there for sure. So according to hip hop, he said Jay's peak, well, he asked like one year peak. He said 98 to 03 to Garden as the single moment. Fade to Black. Okay. When he passed the city over to you in Bleak.
Starting point is 01:03:06 That makes sense. Look who he passed it. Happy birthday, by the way. Oh yeah. It's not. No, it's not. His birthday's tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Oh, yeah. This comes out tomorrow tomorrow. You're right. I'm just looking on line too. How old is Jay today? 56? I am. 69 or 70?
Starting point is 01:03:27 69, I think. 69? Pause. He will be 56 tomorrow. Today? Well, today. Yes. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:03:34 56 today. So we don't leave our Southern listeners out. T.I. T.I. Trap music, Urban Legend, and King is a crazy three. That is a crazy three. For sure. You could argue those are three classic albums, especially if you're from Atlanta. Nas, I like I Am, but I'm biased there. But I think I Amt, it was written I Am is a crazy three. Well, it was written in I Amat, absolutely. I liked I Am, but I see why. I am was a good album, but it's...
Starting point is 01:04:07 It wasn't those two. Kendrick, Good Kid, Pimp of Butterfly, Damn. I mean, that's the top five. That's a good run. Very good three. They did sell Section 80. Like, that's always been a weird debate. Is Good Kid Mad City his first album or not?
Starting point is 01:04:24 Because this is first album. I think it is as well, but I've seen people argue it very well. Like, dude, it was sold on iTunes for $999. That's not a mixtape. Yeah. Especially during that era. But even Section 80, Good Kid Mad City, Pimper Butterfly is crazy. three. What about Pluto, honest, and dirty sprite, too? Yeah, it's nice. I'm not mad at that
Starting point is 01:04:45 at all. Drake's first three? Pluto, honest, dirty sprite two. Yeah. I know, I read what you said. Oh, okay. Great's first three? Um, I like Thank Me Later, but it's pretty low on my Drake discography. Um, it's higher I mind than people would think. So I, I really, I really like Thank but I don't know if it's in the conversation that's why I was saying when he was texting hop if it went um nothing was the same take care to views like that's the craziest three album shit to me outcast southern playlists catac funky music AT aliens of quimmoni god damn yeah I don't know that that might take it for me do artists even put out three consecutive, like great albums anymore?
Starting point is 01:05:37 They barely put out albums. They barely put out three, right? They barely put out three albums. Or they barely get three albums out? I didn't even think about this. Mary, what's the 401? My Life Share My World. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:05:47 That's a crazy three. Let me tell you that someone. What's the 4-1-1 drive? I was two. Or y'all don't even know how Mary fucked the city up with that? Fuck the city up with that one. Mary fucked the city up, but what's the
Starting point is 01:05:59 4-1-1? Would you say it was comparable to how Nellie fuck the city up with the Barclays? Nah. What Mary did? was a little different. Mary J. Blasel, Lauren Hill.
Starting point is 01:06:11 What's the 4-1-1 or the miseducation? They're not really comparable. They're completely different albums. Different sounds, different energy, different everything, two totally different artists. But what's the 4-1-drop, man? Jesus Christ. Like, you couldn't go, you couldn't stand outside for 10 minutes
Starting point is 01:06:31 and not hear a car ride by and playing Mary. I'm talking about guys, girl like everybody was playing that shit in their cars like mary and again i'm speaking strictly off of growing up in new york i don't know what mary was doing on the west coast or the midwest but in new york city when what's the four-on-one drop that's all you heard because the sound it was r&b but it was the music was hip-hop yeah you know i mean so it was it was easier to play it you know guys didn't feel too like sexied out you know driving down and a honda chord hatchback bump Yeah, that shit, like, because it had, it had beat to it.
Starting point is 01:07:07 It had, you know, the music was, was hip hop, but what Mary did over those beats was, yeah, she, she, she, she had New York turned upside down. So I did R&B by numbers, just so we always acknowledge numbers. Usher is number one with My Way 8701 in Confessions. What do you know? What a coenke did? Number two would be Beyonce with Dangerously in Love, B-Day, and I am Sasha Mier. And then number three would be Whitney with her debut, Whitney, and then I'm your baby tonight. Damn, I'm your baby.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Mariah is four and Mary is five. If you're not starting at the first album, Beyonce 4 to Beyonce to Lemonade, I think. Clipped. Gives. Hang it up. Flat screen. That's kind of the craziest three.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Flat screen. I mean, I know it's because of his birthday, I like volume one. Reasonable Doubt to Volume 1 to Volume 2 is still a crazy three to me. But people would take Volume 1 as like the thank me later of that one. Yeah, they don't, for some reason they didn't like volume one. I thought volume one was great. I still listen to volume one. Yeah. But I mean, it probably doesn't compete with Blueprint to Black album. Well, not Blueprint 3. Yeah, Jay has a weird
Starting point is 01:08:21 discography in that, that order. I don't know. I'm leaning on the rap side. It's probably Kanye for me personally, I would say, personally. College dropout, lay registration, and graduation to me is probably it for me. College dropout, late registration and graduation. Yeah. Kendrick would be close there as well. That Kanye 3 is crazy. I don't know why thank me later.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Anytime I try to have rap debates, I go back to like reality, not even like what I'm thinking in my brain. And it usually lands on Kanye West. That Kanye 3 is crazy. Like you know the music that's on those three albums? Maybe it's my, maybe it's because I'm a little bit younger than you. I don't know how you're, and I don't want to say you're down playing thank me later, but I just remember when thank me later came out.
Starting point is 01:09:12 I love thank me later. I just think like Drake ascended going from thank me later, then going to nothing was the same. I'm sorry, take care then to nothing was the same was like. Yes, he. The jump from, if you're reading me later to take care. It's insane. And then keep going. It almost don't even sound like the same. It almost don't even sound like the same artist when you listen to thank me later and then listen to take care.
Starting point is 01:09:36 It's actually similar to Kanye where you sound like it doesn't even sound like the same voice. Yeah. So college dropout to graduation doesn't even sound like the same person. So I hear you. I'm sorry. I'm rolling. I'm rolling with with Drake's first three over Kanye's first three. But that could just that could just be a. All right. Do you prefer college dropout or thank me later? Thank me later. Interesting. Okay. Thank Me Later is in my top four favorite drink albums. I was going to go in order. Late registration verse take care. Take care. Not mad at that. Then graduation versus.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Nothing was the same. I'm not mad at it. Listen, I'm not even here to like really. I think the only one I would give you pushback on is thank me later a college dropout. Because to me that's an easy college dropout. Okay. But the two and three are up for debate and I wouldn't be mad at anyone in that regard. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:28 But yeah, those would be, I guess, the best three. If you're doing two get rich massacre, Nellie, Nellieville, Illmatic, it was written. College dropout, late registration probably takes the
Starting point is 01:10:44 two category for me. As far as that goes. But then again shit, Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP are both fucking incredible. I just think M sucks now. I didn't think he sucked that. No, back then. You think it was first like four M albums are
Starting point is 01:11:01 incredible. You think even if it makes timeless. Not giving my opinion on this. You think Eminem makes timeless music? No. And not by my definition. That's only because of the content in which I heard it. I was 10 years old listening to Marshall Mathers LP and the thought of how dangerous it was that I was 10 and hiding it from my mom added to the factor of the entire thing. It was like shock jock Howard Stern type of thing. You had to hide that album? Yeah, I had to hide a country grammar and then my mom found it and broken in half. Why? Because the intro is, you can find me and say, Mm-hmm, when it goes all this. I'm got to something like that.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Others just smoking down, down. Your mom didn't want you in that. The intro is, others just smoking fuck all day. That's the intro. And my mom was like, no. Got you. So. It's funny that that's his album that his mom would love.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Country grammar. And Mons was doggie style. Snoop. Drastically. My mother would have had an aneurism. You know the content, the difference. with Snoop's saying and country grammar oh my god yeah country grammar wasn't even crazy country grammar was like miss rachel compared to with snoop's saying or doggy style you know
Starting point is 01:12:13 what snoop was saying or doggy style it ain't no fun if the homies can't have my mother's like turn that yeah it's essentially a song about gang rape and now my mom knows she probably knows what snoop is doing right now like that's how much my mom loves snoop now like i was never banned from listening to music and when i look back i should have like i should not have been listening to the deep Janet Jackson cuts at eight years old, like that probably shaped the way that I am today. But it was always movies. They never banned me from music because my father played. You look like you was in the house, dancing slow to that's the way love goes.
Starting point is 01:12:44 There's so many worse songs. Yeah. There's. Oh, no. If you look at that song from the surface level, as a kid, you wouldn't think it would be free. It was bad. It was she had some shit that to this day is like, like when my dad was talking shit about WOP, I'm like, you had me listening to Janet very young.
Starting point is 01:12:59 It's way worse. way worse. She got songs that time I was like, what? Go deeper, go deeper. It feels so good I'm about to cry. But you don't know
Starting point is 01:13:07 what that means at that time. Yeah, but Baby Dee was like 10 screaming that shit. No, she was internalizing it for sure. She didn't know at the time, but it would... Baby, mine was like two years old
Starting point is 01:13:16 singing that one. Go deeper, baby, deeper. I would have beat my daughter ass if I came in and she was singing that shit. My dad never cared. Like, I remember I left my CD booklet on the bus when I went to go see him
Starting point is 01:13:28 and it was one of the most distraught days of my entire life. You want to go see who? My dad. I left my CD like K- Oh, all of the CDs? On the bus. I don't know. Oh my God. And thank God I let all my- That was like losing your phone. Mm-hmm. I would throw my phone against a brick wall right now. If I could go back to that day to get all my CDs. But thank God I let all my friends burn on my CDs. So I had copies to do that. But my dad saw how distraught I was and he took me to the CD store and he let me buy Mob Deep murder music. That was the makeup for it? And then let me put it in his Jeep.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Like we left. Oh, no. That made up for your entire collection. Like, you let me get this new mob. No, he saw how distraught. Like, shout out to my past. He saw that I was like hurt. No, that was losing your CD collection.

When you used to go away for the summer, that was your mom's, your parents' time and, like, renovate and do the whole, yo, I remember, I went to the window away once in a while I came back. Mawms did the room over. Yo, I didn't even recognize my room.
Starting point is 01:14:49 I was like, who's supposed to sleep here? All of this shit is new. Like, where's all my shit at? For Patreon or something, I have to look at my storage. I have my CD booklet. I have all my posters still. too. I'll bring them in for like a Patreon episode that we could just go through my
Starting point is 01:15:03 CD case and all the posters that I have in trash bags. Like rolled up. I think there's a belly poster in there. Like the movie belly? That's crazy. I had a lot of posters. The posters was a thing though. I remember seeing posters in the subway like damn. Defined who you were. My dad used to steal him. Your identity. My Harry Potter one and my Janet Jackson offer you tore one. He had the razor blade and he just cut it out. He stole him and brought him home. And he bought it home from the subway to Sarah. Like he bought it home from. Oh, okay.

Those are from my child. The James Brown one, my dad ripped off the wall at BB Kings. It's like, you know. Sometimes you got posters were. I need that thing.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Damn, y'all. That just made me really like reminisce, you know, my fucking childhood. I hate being an adult. Yeah, no, it sucks. You was trying to be an adult when you was a child. The shit you was singing and listening to? Yeah. You couldn't wait to be an adult.
Starting point is 01:15:59 I said I'm pink 10 I really come waiting to be an adult as a kid I couldn't wait I thought I was so I graduated early I was like I don't want to I hate high school I hated high school since the moment I got in I wanted to be grown so bad I want to And now look at you you want to go back It's just the bills you just hate paying bills
Starting point is 01:16:15 I fucking hate paying that's all that's all adults hate we just hate paying for shit That's it but you don't mind being an adult Yeah the drinking and smoking and fucking is pretty cool I mean that's pretty fucking cool way but that's a teenager No And I wasn't as responsible. Yeah, but everybody wasn't as privileged as you were. To drink, smoke, and fight.
Starting point is 01:16:34 It was really easy. I know we have a lot of teenage listeners, so I don't want to steer them off the path. But it's really easy to go out there to find something to smoke, drink, and fuck. Oh, man. So, you know. Do what feels right, kids. All right, well, this was fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Fun trip down memory lane talking about music. Well, there was one more question you guys had on here. Okay. Which was what? Would you rather be Fetty Whopper, Freddie Gibbs? All right, you have to have context. I'd rather be Freddie Gets. Freddie Wap is serving federal time.
Starting point is 01:17:03 There was context to the, first of all, well, add the context because I wasn't there for the context. No, it was about, um, we were having the peak conversation. Would you rather have a longer, slower burn of a career or a crazy high peak? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Like Fetty own whatever summer 2014 that was. Mm-hmm. Freddie, Freddie probably didn't get his just do until 10 years into his career. Mm-hmm. I'd go outside of the, federal things Feddy's going through.
Starting point is 01:17:30 I would go with Freddie just because I think you have a longer career that way. But I don't know. Feddy could probably, when he gets out, I'm sure we'll get booked for a bunch of shit. How smart am I with my money? Because I'd rather make the money fast, invest it, and never have to be a celebrity. Listen, man, Vanilla Ice had that song
Starting point is 01:17:46 and now is like one of the biggest real estate people in California. You know what I'm saying? Like, let me get the money in now without all this hard work.

Starting point is 01:20:19 How many baby mothers? Fetty Wobb. Can't Google shit. But knowing that the trans is 1% of the population. Less than 1% of the population. But, Demaris, that's a good point. Like, if I was MC Hammer with a good accountant, I don't know.

Starting point is 01:23:06 because my parents were older. So my dad only listened to rap and like Michael Franks and shit like that. And my mother listened. My mother was older, so she listened to like 70s, like 60s music. So 90s R&B, I suck at 90s R&B knowledge. I'm terrible at it.
