and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year.

The digital dossier, in effect. That's my name now. Dossier Clay. Yo, those stats was crazy, right? Listen, man. I was really, I was sold after that. She knows everything about me. We had a meeting where we were meeting about the meeting, my favorite type of meeting.

Meeting about a meeting. And some analytics were brought to our attention. And I just want to let everyone know, the fellas really in the mall. The fellas like Moore a lot. I don't know if that's what we got from that. That's what I got from that. I sat there and said, man, mall can bring the dudes out. Yeah, I don't know.

I got up the numbers. If you're looking for dudes, go to Mall's Instagram because they are there. Oh, man, it's crazy. So yeah, you're forever the digital dossier. Listen, man, it was good to see those numbers. I kind of know where I stand now. Kind of know my strengths and my weaknesses. Got to know certain areas I need to work on a little bit.

You know what I mean? But it was good to see that. No, your Instagram reminded me a lot of like an underground rap concert. Yeah. Yeah, it definitely did. You and a moral technique, I think, of the same fan base. Somewhere along those lines. Yeah, same venues.

Hey, it's profitable. No, absolutely. It's profitable. I love it. I love it. Yeah. I'm excited to see yours, though. She said she had yours.

You're definitely like a Who's Next Hot 97 showcase at SOBs. Yeah, that's what it looked like. You're right. That's exactly what it looked like. I don't want to see mine. I do. I do. Mine is probably more dudes.

Than me? No one. Well, you were 99.99%. I was not. I was about 75%. But how are you going to switch up your content to bring the women into the fold? I got to start talking about like home decor, I guess. How did you pronounce that?

Decor? Decor? Yeah. I got to start talking about some home. Take them to the buffets? Yeah, the buffets. Valette your car? Yeah.

Maybe a fish fillet. I got to start talking about, you know, more pastels, more colors. Okay. Yeah, I got it. I got a cooking. Okay. I think we've got to incorporate some cooking. You don't think the fear of gods are bringing up?

No, this is not going to get the. I see what you tried to do, blasphemy up top, fearing God. Come on. You see, it's a whole thing I'm giving you, Roy. No, no. This is why it's why it's. 99% dudes. It's the whole thing I'm giving you, man.

No girl was like, um, I didn't even see his fit was an entangra. My fit is not an entendre. I'm glad. I'm glad you painted that picture, though, for me. I'm glad you. Yeah, no, you're like a contradiction. She won't understand you. Yeah, it's like she has to figure me out while I'm walking down the street.

You know what I mean? Okay. Yeah, man. So it's new. You know, same old. Back from L.A. Back from L.A. I did survive.

How are you feeling? Because I didn't see you since we got back and he was under the weather. Yeah. So for those that don't care, we went to L.A., landed. I said, hey, I'm not going to go to the hotel. I'm going to go to urgent care. Yeah.

Go to urgent care. They say I have an ear infection. Like I'm a 10-year-old because I am a child. So I can still get ear infections. Then say, hey, maybe you got strep throat. We'll take some more tests, whatever. Here's some antibiotics. We go about, we shoot things.

entire time we're in LA. I'm talking on a microphone for five, six hours a day, can barely speak, just go into bed, praying that I have a voice in the morning. Right. We're on our way to the airport. They said, hey, hey, buddy, we've been giving you the wrong antibiotics this entire time. We misdiagnosed you. It's actually been making it worse and spreading throughout your body. You should seek medical attention immediately. Right. When the trip is over. Yeah. Yeah. So we shot all this content where I was dying. I didn't get to really enjoy, you know, the whole year side of L.A. Right. You were in these streets, though.

A little bit. I didn't really do too much other than, you know, we went out that one night together. We went to Sadiq, which is a phenomenal party. I've got to give props to Sean. That's a dope, real, real nice collection of people in the room.

It's a great part. For those that don't know, it's a Wednesday night, they say it's R&B, and it is R&B for the first hour, so. Yeah. Then all rappers show up and for some reason the DJ feels like they need to play all those rappers music. Yeah. Because rappers want to hear themselves when they walk into a club. Right.

I know people say myself included that L.A. super phony and it's like all the celebs shit, but if you don't actually live there and just visit, people underestimate how fun it is to be phony. Yeah. Like I really enjoyed that Wednesday night of like pretending to like people and I got every line off. Like, now we should, we should get up. Yeah.

Yeah, we should shoot something together. It was, but it was, I enjoy being phony. People won't admit it. They enjoy being phony. Yeah. Phony is fun. It's fun, but I do think that mix of people in the room, I do think they fuck with each other, though.

Because a lot of those, like, I'm not going to name drop, but some of the guys that they were just in the studio together. Yeah. They had just left the studio and came straight there. But does that mean they really rock with each other? I think if you make music with each other, a lot of music, not if you just do one joint. Like, if you have, like, a,

collection of music with an artist, I think y'all really have a relationship. Like, y'all fuck with each other. I think you guys are profitable. And I think you can like someone off profit. Yeah, but I don't, I don't know, man, because the artists we're talking about don't need each other. You say that. They don't need each other. You say that, they don't need, it helps. It helps, but they don't need to profit off of each other. They're fine. They're fine. And then it was like, you know, some of the women that was in the room, you know, it was a real night. I got to give Sean his props, man. That's a really, really, really nice party. That's a really good party he has going on

the Wednesdays. It is. It is. And don't pretend you weren't the only phony person. Was I phone? I'm saying I was the only phony person. Oh, was I phony? I heard you laugh a little louder than usual. You had maybe a different octave on a joke that wasn't the funniest. Was it with a lady? No. It was with guys. There were some rappers around.

Oh, then maybe. Listen, we all need to admit we're phony. It's okay and it's fun to be phony. You have to give off a certain energy when you're around artists and celebs that you may or may not have a rapport with and you see at times. Like sometimes you got to give off a certain energy where it's like, you know, hey man, good to see you. It's not even trying to be industry because I particularly don't give a fuck about any of

these rappers. But it is fun to sit in a part and go, yo man, love the project, not knowing if they put a project out. It's fun to me. That's funny. Love the project. Nothing out. Yo, last, on repeat.

Which one are you talking about? Four years ago. But the music's loud, so they can't even really hear me. Yeah, yeah. But some of the artists, we fuck with, though. Like, we fuck with genuinely. Like, some of the guys I saw in there, I, like, I fuck with them. Yeah.

And it is funny to watch rappers, like, try to have some type of game with women. Because a lot of them, you know, started getting women when they became famous. Right. But at this party, the music isn't so loud. It's R&B, so there is some time to converse with people. Yeah. So it's great people watching and being a fly on the wall of what. of what some of that game is

because when all these fucking A-list, rappers, singers, whatever, are in a room together fame is kind of off the table. You can't really use that when there's a bunch of... I like being a mere mortal in those situations because I can just observe.

Now you've got to kind of be funny. Yeah. There's no bottle war. Everything's free. Everyone's famous. It's time to get on your fucking... Your personality has to... Let's see your jokes. Yeah, your personality has to...

Let's see how much... of a gentleman you can actually be. Yeah, yeah. But the thing I liked about that party was it, even though, you know, it was a bunch of, you know, celebrities and artists and things like that, everyone seems to mingle with each other. They leave their sections, they walk to, you know, other people's sections tables, have fun, jokes, crack some laughs, whatever. Like, I like that part of it. I like when celebrities and artists are in a room and they, they mingle with each other. I don't like to just sit in your corner and you sit in your corner. Like, that's, To me, that's kind of old school.

Like, that's like, that's played out now. Now it's like, yo, you can walk around in here. Nobody's going to jump on your back and nobody's going to attack you. Like, everybody in this room is kind of sort of somebody or has some type of, they know how to act around people. That wasn't a party full of people that just have never been outside. Okay. Do you take any credit or responsibility for parties being that way?

Do I take credit for it? Not this new. Parties are starting to come back. People are starting to dance a bit. more. People are mingling. People are actually talking to women. It's not so much the phone thing. I feel like that could have been one thing COVID helped out with. People aren't really running out and doing the phone thing as much, I feel like. But as a member of Rockefeller and that lineage, do you take responsibility for parties being people standing there and buying bottles?

We're finally getting away from what you guys ruined. No, because when, you know, it's funny when my brother and them started going out party, Like, it wasn't even a, like the VIP section, it totally changed. Well, now it's more people in the VIP than it isn't the right. Back then it was like, you know, it was really like a section. It was like, you couldn't even get in there. And then even back then, they still mingled and walked around the club. Because that was the thing.

Like, we used to walk in the club and it would be like, okay, walk around, find some cool pretty women that seem like they, you know, personality, not just standing there looking stuck up. find some pretty women that seem like they're cool and bring them to the VIP section. Okay. Now, the whole club is a VIP section. Like, everybody has a table. Everybody has bottles.

Everybody has... So it's like, it's a little different now. Like, back then it was literally like a section and you can't get over here unless, you know what I mean? Now it's like everybody has it. You could be a regular dude with a nine to five if you want to spend three grand this night. You might end up sitting next to Drake. Like, you know what I mean? That's just how it is now.

Back then, would never happen. were literally like in like what is it called coach economy economy part of the part of the party you were standing in economy and you had to walk a hundred yards to go get a drink and fight through people to come back and wait and hope that your homies were still standing there like now it's like everybody has a table everybody has a section yeah it's a little different it was it was spirit airlines in the party you're paying for everything exactly paying to get in paying to sit down paying for your drink yeah parties are spirit airlines yeah now that i've really really think about it. But Sadiq was different. Like, everybody was making. You're paying for like

the shittiest seat ever. Yeah. No, you're not even paying for a seat. You're standing up on a flight. I've never sat at a club and been like, hmm, this is a comfortable chair. No, no, no. It's certain clubs that they pay attention to the sofas and they make sure people want to have a, you know, comfortable chair or something to sit in. But for the most part, it's a little cushion, some wood, fiberglass maybe, and, you know, stand on this shit, tear it up all you want. Like, they don't care. Did you lie to any women at this party? Did I lie? No.

Well, maybe some women asked me when I was going. In L.A., the land of lies. Yeah, no, but some women asked me when I was going back to New York. Lys and what L.A. stands for. Is assumptions, start with A? They asked me when I was going back to New York, and I lied about that. I may have lied about when I was leaving L.A. Okay.

Yeah. I definitely, because, you know, when you're in that mix, naturally women will ask, just, what do you do? Mm-hmm. I was a TikTok rapper. Yeah. I managed the artist next to me. Yeah. You know.

Working on his project. Listen, man, when you're in LA, it's fun. Always have to leave the stew. You have to just left the stew. When they see you in the club, where you come from? We're just left the stew. Lying to women in L.A. It's the only hobby that I really have out there.

You have to make something else. Because they're lying to them. They're lying to you. And then they're lying to me. Absolutely. So I have to. So it's kind of like you got to lie. Who can lie first?

Yes. Got you. Let's lie my way into this hotel room. Yeah. Let's lie to each other and then lie next to each other. Yes. That's, that's, that's, that's. In a bed of lie.

In a better, come on, man, see, this is why you're my god, because you see how you come off the screen and just shoot, that's what you do. Yeah, but you got to. You thrown out, I love you before midnight? That's, the I love you is dangerous, though. Is it though? It is. When you both know your lying, I don't think it's that dangerous. If we have-

How do you know when a woman is lying to when she says to love you? You know. But how do you know? I'm such a liar and have met so many liars that we just haven't understand. It's like a fucking, what's the shit when you can read each other's mind? It's like a telepathic lying to you. each other. Okay.

Let's just enjoy this night and get as much passion of love. We kind of take from our actual love experiences and throw it into this lie. Okay. It's like PTSD of loving and we're just going to put it into tonight, take all the good out of it and not have any bad because we both know we're lying to each other. But there's a difference between I love you. Like fuck face to face. Like we're really into this.

Wait, now, if you start, if you fuck face to face and say I love you, you're treading dangerous waters. Not if we both know we're lying. It's like roll. playing role playing as a couple on the first night there's a difference you yo you have to live this way more there's a difference between i love you and i'm in love with you you're getting too complicated i'm just saying what if she what if the next morning she's still like you're done with the lies right let's just say you wake up no there's no listen let's just say you wake up let's just say you

say you wake up and you're like, you know what, like last night was great, but like today I'm on a different... Well, if she said it was great, then I know she's really like. But why? What if you gave her a great, like, 12 minutes, though? 12? Yeah. I must have been really drunk then. Yeah. What if you gave her the greatest 12 minutes she's had in like three years? I must have had on those, those condoms that numb everything. Yeah. But what if you just like... You gave it to her and you know, because we know, we know when we we perform. We know. We walk to the bathroom a little bit, buddy. Like, you were like, hand, it's just going to be hard to shake this one.

You know what I mean? You have that talk with yourself in the shower, like, yo, she's going to really be in love with me. She's going to be blowing up my phone. Like, you know when you lay it down. Now, what if you've done that and she wakes up and she's like, yo, like, so, like, what are you doing today? Like, you could tell she's trying to make your day part of her day. Like, she's trying to make it so where y'all are actually spending time again today

with each other. Then you know, like, okay, she really is like. But see, that's rookie shit because I'm so advanced in lying. that I already told her the night before that I'm meeting my mom for breakfast at 7 a.m. Oh, you're getting all these lies off. If you don't have the, what you're up to do tomorrow the night before?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've never tried to get a stranger out of your house. Yeah. No, no, no, it's true. It's true. But sometimes they, because again, we know we're lying to each other. Yes. So they'll kind of like giggle.

Which is fine if we both know. I'm not saying you should lie to people. I'm not saying that's a good thing. You are, but it's okay. If you're both in on the lie, it's okay. I believe so. I believe so. But it is a dangerous.

thing, especially like if you've just given her some great sex and then like, you know, face to face and kissing and all of that. It's like, you start looking at each other like, wait, are you lying? Like, I'm lying? Because this is starting to feel like love. So there's also that option that you can lie your way into a real relationship. Like, you know how you fake it until you make it or front to whatever? And then all of a sudden we're like, okay. We're together. The lies become a truth. Yeah. Our relationship is built on lies. It's like at some point, One of us has to say, okay, enough is enough. You can't build a family without lies.

Yeah, yeah. I think some of the best relationships are built on lies. Built on or survived? Survived on lying not only to your significant other, but to yourself. That's terrible, though. Is it? Like when you know you're in a relationship and it's like, yo, we're lying to each other. That's terrible.

I'm not saying flat out lies of like, I'm still in love with you or I'm not cheating or anything like that. Those, I'm not talking about those lies. But you do need to lie to each other to make shit feel fun at times. Like, I kind of like hate the way you eat toast. I can't say that. I got a lie. Like, hey, baby, you want something to eat? Right.

Knowing good and well, I want to choke you anytime that you eat eggs. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. You have to lie to yourself. But that's when you spent a lot of time with each other. When somebody chews it and the way they chew it annoys you, that's when it's like, okay, we need to like spend some time apart. But, Maul, that's marriage.

That's why the divorce rate is 50%. Because no one likes... Are those real numbers? Yeah. 50%. Around there you? Wow. Okay.

You know, usually I throw out stats and I'm... Then that's why I ask. No, I really think it is around 50%. Okay. Okay. That's probably the number one reason. People are just sick of watching their significant other eat breakfast. I think you need time apart.

I think you need... I think that's healthy. I don't think enough people would admit it, but you do need time apart from each other. I think that always having your... own place to live, like your own, if you're apartment, whatever, like you just have your space to go to, if you have, if you're fortunate enough to have a house big enough to where, you know, I could be on this side of the house and you can go sleep on the other side, the guest bedroom, whatever.

Which is a very fortunate thing to have, especially couples that just went through. I think those are the couples that survive. You got to have space. Everybody needs their own space. Everybody needs their own area to just, you know, a lot of times I'd be saying I need my own space and then when I have my own space to do whatever I want it's like I'm really not doing shit I just want to be alone but that's important to not do anything absolutely by yourself absolutely I talk to myself I answer myself sometimes people say that's crazy but I don't think I think it's healthy a lot of that comes from the I don't even want to just blame social media because I feel like there's been books and articles on that which are typically written by single people of you know your partner

should be your best friend you should want to spend every crazy moment with them and if you don't want to spend that means they're not the one for you and yeah those people have not done a five-year bid yeah but you're right but we had but besides lying in l.a we had a great time we shot a lot of content we hung out i almost died off antibiotics you almost died off for the wrong antibiotics yeah uh we chopped it up with some of our favorite people i was i was sober in l.a you had to be because you want antibiotics LA LA is like a looks a different world so whoa yeah it's a I don't understand how people do that. Yeah.

It looked different. Yeah. Like sunset did not look the same. Yeah. Well, we had a good time, though. I mean, we went to, and they had a nice dinner. Yeah. We learned about some very historical wines.

We did. That were way out of my price range. Way out of my price range. Everybody was hitting me saying, yo, you should have got the $4,000 one. I said, no, we went with the $120 Camas and had a great night. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we had a great night with the $120 canvist.

Nice yellow tail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We kept it right there. Bearfoot. Kept it right there. But again, we shot some content. I think we got some good shit that we're ready to put out. Yeah, we've been harassed pretty significantly.

Yeah. I've seen a lot of people reaching out. And when is it coming? When is it dropping? I mean, we could have just put something out real quick that would have been some bullshit of just shooting the shit. Like I told people, listen, you can't rush the chef. Well, honestly, I just kind of wanted to shut the fuck up for like a few weeks. It was like five years of nonstop talking.

Yeah. I was listening back to all episodes, and I just was like, yo, can this kid just shut the fuck up? It was definitely a self-awareness time of a few weeks. Like, I just don't, my opinion shouldn't be out there. Yeah. And it's good to recharge. Like I said, we went to L.A., we hung out with some people.

We got to spend some time away from our element of New York City. You know what I mean? You experienced L.A. sober for the first time, probably ever. Yeah. I think all of that, it helped. Like going to Coke Bender in New York now. Just to balance it out. No.

I don't do cocaine, everyone. I don't do cocaine. I like this Rory right here. But yeah, LA was dope, man. Had a good time. I wasn't ready to leave yet, but we had to get back and get to business and handle some things. So here we are.

Yeah, the land of Tesla's, man. L.A. is a scary place. I think I'm getting one. All right. I have a question, and I'm really not, Basley, Basley, relax. I'm really not trying to be an asshole. I'm really asking, what?

why do we care about Elon Musk? Elon Musk, he put an iPad in an electric Toyota and he made a flamethrower. I may be missing anything else because I'm ignorant and I don't do research of what Elon Musk has done that we care about. Like he promised L.A. Subways, I even think he gave a release date.

Pushed it back. Tunnel. I didn't see one train station in Los Angeles. Yeah. So a guy that made a flamethrower, cool. Put an iPad and a Toyota and made it plug in instead of gas. That's a big thing though.

He knows Kanye West. Yeah. He wears Yeezys in Palo Alto. This is why we love him. Well, I think it's more so his division that he has, his ideas. I think people love his ideas. He's done a lot. He's done a lot.

He's done a lot of thinking. Yeah, he's done a lot of thinking. Some of the things he's put out, you know what I mean? But I think people are just, they just like the fact that there's somebody that is creating an optic of what the future is going to look like. I threw a rock through a windshield when I was 15 and it broke. No one called me a visionary. I actually almost got arrested.

Yeah, but you weren't wearing yeasies when you did it. They didn't exist. Exactly. I was wearing like the questions. Yeah, no. See, you had to have one of the Yeasies. You had to bring it all together, tie in the story together. But I like Elon, man.

I'm a fan of anybody that, you know, is creating their vision and putting it out. my homeboy bought a Tesla and he picked me up while we was in LA and I was like man I think I love the Tesla I think I just like the cleanness of it the ride is very smooth just get a vacuum yeah but it's like just the car is very

it just feels like you're doing something great for the environment it just feels very the ride feels very clean I see what it is Elon Musk just has the best PR team on earth that helps we've just fallen for the bullshit absolutely that's how you sell that's how you sell to the people I can plug my car in

Meanwhile con ed I'm not paying that bill No think I'm going to add a car to my con ed bill But it's I just like the aesthetic of the Tesla And again the ride is very smooth Very clean And it's technology man Who doesn't like technology? I love technology I like being able to be in a car

The screen is right here You can see the cars on the right left in front of you I just like that whole That whole thing It's just very cool Wait for a blackout No But it's different because when you park your car in LA, they have all of those parking spots where you could actually plug your Tesla in now.

You were around for the great blackout of O3. I was. I was. Scary times. But I don't know. I'm just a fan of Elon. I like Elon. I like him.

You just like his name. Is that his stage name? You know, I like... That I don't know. You know, like, actors changed. Like, you know how like Stephen Colbert changed his name? What do you change his name? And like, Jamie Fox changed his name.

Like, that's not his name. Is Elon? That's not a real name. No one's last name is Musk. No, I think that's his name. Yeah, Elon Reeve Musk. Reeve. This is bullshit.

That's actually a cool name. Where did he come from? He was born in, where's he born? I don't know. Some planet. He was born on. In a test tube. Oh, he was born in South Africa.

See? Come on. You didn't think he was born in South Africa. No, I did not. See? But it makes him even cooler. It definitely makes sense because he does have a racist face. He kind of looks like you without a beard.

I have a racist face. Without a beard? If you shave your beard, you're going to have a racist face. With my beard, if I let it grow, I look even more racist. That's you without a beard, bro. Instead of a red cup, put a Budweiser in my hand, I look like I say the N word. At no face you hit? At any moment.

For sure. Just throw it out there. For sure, absolutely. Even in context that don't make sense. I look like that person. He looks scary, man. I like Elon. I know a lot of people don't particularly care for him,

but I like him. I like Yvonne. Yeah, I'm a fan of the Tesla. So yeah, I think I'm going to get one, man. I think I'm going to get a Tesla. Speaking of South Africa, they had, I've been flying JetBlue nonstop for like the last two months. So I kind of ran out of movies to watch.

They had the rugby one about Nelson Mandela and. Okay. Matt Damon. Matt Damon and not? Yeah. And I turned it on. And I'm sure there's other Nelson Mandela movies and, all that but why do I give a fuck about this rugby team?

Well it was based on a true story? Yeah but everything Nelson Mandela did in his life and how important Nelson Mandela is the movie we're going to make is about a rugby team and like oh this is Nelson's story with Mad Damon. But it was something around that though. It was it was something around that rugby team that time. Look what it took for Nelson Mandela to get a blockbuster. We need Matt Damon and rugby.

No, but what's your name? He was in jail for like 50 years. And changed South Africa. Well, hey, these guys threw a ball and fucking hugged each other's nuts. Let's throw Matt Damon in it. See, now, rugby players are going to be upset at you because that's a very tough sport. That's a very rough sport. That's a very rough sport.

So, listen, I love rugby. Let me just put that out there. I love wearing rugby. I have a few in my collection. I have a few polo rubbies in my collection. So I want to put that out there because, you know, you don't want to run it to a rugby play in the street. Like, yo, I heard you had some choice words for us. We'll grab each other's nuts and shit like that.

Like, so let me just put that out there. I love rugby. I'm a fan. No, you like polo and you like Ralph Levinan. I like the uniforms, the rugby uniforms. Something tells me on... The sport, I would never play that sport, but, uh... Something tells me you didn't gather the fellas together in St. Nick Park and throw on your polo rubbies.

No, no, definitely not. Definitely not. Had a little pickup game. No. But, um, it just, I would play the dope Nelson Mandela, though. I have to see that. Yeah, I think he did. Like, why is Matt Damon holding that trophy? What do you mean?

Give it to Nelson. He's playing the guy that won the fucking the championship, I guess. Whatever the fuck. I don't know. I don't remember how that movie was, but I did see that movie. Yeah, see, Idris,

he played a dope Nelson Mandela. Yeah. Long Walk to Freedom. All right. Let me watch that one. Yeah, that was a great movie. We watched Matt Damon with a fake accent.

So I can learn about Nelson Mandela. Yeah, that was a great movie. Long Walk to Freedom with Idris was a great, great movie about Nelson Mandela. And rest of peace of Nelson Mandela. All right. Well, speaking of rough sports and us flying, we were at baggage claim. Yes. And I will be the only one that admits it, even though Triller put out how much money they made.

And I was like, oh, I bootleg that. I bootlegged that. I bootlegged. I paid for the fight. I did not use one of your links. Yeah. I paid for it. Or not Triller, I'm sorry, Showtime. Mm-hmm. Want my 50 bucks back. You weren't happy. You weren't happy. Almost called fraud on my entire card. I think, yeah, I think we had the same. We were looking at it. and we had the same reaction to the fight.

It just feels like at this point, and then Floyd almost alluded to it, it's just robbery at this point. It's just like, you know, once again, y'all fell for it. Some people are mad. You know, and I get it, but I agree. I've seen some sports analysts saying they don't agree with,

you know, Floyd doing this. It's kind of ruining his legacy. It's ruining boxing to a certain degree. And I'm on, I think I'm on that side. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't think Floyd, uh, I just don't agree with this. You know what I mean? Like, it's, it's, it's like your Floyd Mayweather, you're arguably the greatest boxer ever. Um, you know, I, I'm not, I'm not one of these people that play into the narrative that Floyd is going broke and needs the money. I don't, I don't, I don't watch people's pockets. I don't think Floyd is broke, though. Um, I think Floyd just saw this

as an easy bag. And, uh, you know, I just don't, but I think, I think at some you have to put your legacy you know what i mean like i don't think that well his quote was my kids can't eat legacy well your kids can't eat the word legacy no but but your legacy should you know his legacy will feed his family forever agreed you know i think floyd whether his family is the mayweather family is good forever i think he's uh he's he's he's he's amassed enough money he's doing great promotion for the for the up and coming fighters floyd is a businessman and i'm understand it. I understand. Get this bag. It's an easy bag. He knew that Logan Paul wasn't a threat to him. But I think at some point you have to, you know, because we don't want to see,

I wouldn't want to see Jordan playing in the big three. You know what I'm saying? It's like, I think there's a little bit more integrity to the big three than there is to this. And it may be. Much more into it. Yeah, it may be. But I'm just saying, I actually think the big three is a really cool experience. I love the third. Yeah. I love the big three. I think, um, who did Tyson fight? Uh, not Roy Jones. Why am I blanking? The exhibition. Yeah, he fought Roy Jones?

It was Roger. Yeah. I thought that was cool. I think there is a world where exhibition fights for fighters to continue to make money is a great, great thing. I mean, that's the shit that sucks with athletics, especially ones that are violent, like football and boxing, where you really fuck your body. I've been going to do it for so long. I think that's great. Mockery shit, I'm never going to be mad at them for taking that back.

I'm not. But I think there is a middle ground, especially when Floyd was saying, all right, if you don't want to watch our exhibitions, don't watch them. which is very, very well true. But you could have done this exhibition and still fought. No, but here's the difference. Roy Jones. Not saying to knock each other's heads off. No, but Roy Jones.

Do it up after you give him a right. Like, that's a nuts. He didn't hold him up. Yes, he didn't hold him up. Logan Paul said, I can't believe people thought that. You got punched right in your face. You couldn't see. He held you up.

No, but I don't think Floyd can hold up Logan Paul like that. He did. But I think that the Roy Jones and Tyson thing was different because they're both professional fighters, which I think is fine and great. Logan Paul is not a professional fighter And I don't mind some undercard stuff Like that like with the Nate Robinson thing And Jake Paul for the tights

That was under the car, right? When it's both It's funny amateur fighters Have a ball And I think Ocho Cinco doing it I'm not mad at that type of stuff It's just this didn't even Look like they were

Trying to fight each other Every now and then you'd get a punch It wasn't they weren't trying to fight You had the greatest of all time Arguably in there with an amateur One of the greatest, yeah for sure So it's gonna look little awkward, you know what I mean? But I just, I don't think Floyd, you know, again, man,

his legacy, I think he should leave that there. And, you know, you don't want people to view you through this optics of, you know, because now some people are saying, well, he's going to fight a kangaroo next. They're going to put boxing gloves on the kangaroo. He's going to get in the ring. That's a tough fight. You know what I mean? So it's like, I just, I mean, I get it though. He's a, Floyd is a businessman. He makes that very clear. He's about that money. And, you know, this was an easy bag for him. So go get that bag. But I think at some point you have to say, you know i just it's certain shit that i just can't do you know i mean i think fighting if he wants to fight a retired professional boxer with that and you know if all the YouTubers want to fight

with that all the way yeah let them fight each other though let them fight each other but but jumping in the ring with arguably the greatest like i would feel some type of way if i turned on my tv and saw michael jordan playing one-on-one against you know the best streetballer of all time like i would be like mike what are you doing i mean and then if you do do that throw a little caveat. Let me give another example. Mike would do those camps with all those fucking billionaires and bankers where he would play them one-on-one

for money. Like Mike has done, people do this shit. Yeah, but that's different because these are people that are coming to a camp and they just want that experience. I mean, I've said, y'all played against Mike at the camp. Mike is not selling out Madison Square Garden pay-per-view to play somebody. Tim the banker? Yeah, to play Tim the banker. Like, he's not doing that. You know what I mean? That's the difference.

Like, you know, it's just your legacy has to mean more than money at some point. You know what I mean? And that's my only thing with Floyd. Like I get it, though. Bag was super easy. He know he's not going to go in and get hurt. But again, your legacy has to mean something.

It has to mean more than money. I mean, I know nothing about Jake Paul or Logan Paul. Listen, and shout out to them. Because they've mastered whatever they figure. They figured something out. Yeah. They figured something out. I don't know.

I found out about them when the Nate Robinson shit. Yeah. But they tapped into something. But I'm not in the YouTube scene and I'm not saying that in a mockery way. I probably should be more into it. I love what they've done. I love what they've done. They've tapped into something, a market.

They've created their own lane and, you know, they're making a shitload of money. Like, like Logan said, I'm in the ring with Floyd Mayweather. It's almost like, what the fuck am I doing here? How am I, how did I get here? But that, it speaks to, and I cannot, even though every bone in my body wants to, just because of how I was raised, look at where YouTube in the internet has. is like superseded, if that's even a word. A YouTube guy is fighting the greatest fighter of all time.

Right. You know how many professional boxers probably spent their whole life goal? Absolutely. I want to fight Floyd. And then this guy does some skits on the internet. And it's now fighting the greatest fighter of all time. Look how long it took back. Look at our society.

But then again, a reality star was our president. This does not surprise me at all. At this point, Jake Paul and Logan Paul got to fight each other. I don't see that I don't see them doing that I don't see they're gonna fight more people but that's gonna be the end yeah like it took Pachial how many years

to finally get his fight with Floyd it took well he was taking steroids yeah I'm a Floyd fan so okay I mean I'm a Floyd fan too I don't think but I fuck it back yeah was taking steroids but neither do I I um again I don't know man

I just you know shout out to Floyd for getting that easy bag shout out to the Paul brothers for figuring out their lane and tapping into something incredible for themselves but again me just as a fight fan, as a Floyd Mayweather, as a boxing fan, I don't want to see

legends fighting YouTube stars. That's just me. I don't want to see that. No. You know what I mean? And if you're going to, and if you're going to do it, like I was saying on Twitter, Floyd was supposed to put him down. You know what I mean?

Like he was supposed to make it clear cut. Like, listen. Oh, no. The rest of you guys don't get no idea. Oh yeah, that's why I say Logan Paul won. He didn't get knocked down. He didn't, I wasn't sure if there was a no knockout clause, but he didn't get knocked out. He didn't get severely hurt. You know, his eyes were a little swollen, you know,

but he wasn't like unrecognizable after the fight. Everything that I thought was going to happen to him going into this fight did not happen. So it's a win for him, man. He's not a professional fighter and he got a match with arguably the greatest of all time. Like that's a win for Logan. It was just the intro, introing Floyd, 51 and all his stats. And then. Then Logan Paul. Then Logan comes in, oh and one against someone that's not a professional boxer. O and one, they showed how many Instagram followers he had. What was it?

66 million subscribers on social media. It just felt nasty. I'm looking at that, and then the way he was warming up in his dressing room, those punches he was throwing, I said, Logan Paul's going to get hurt. That's what I thought. I told you, I said he's going to get hurt bad. This is going to end bad. And to my surprise, he didn't get hurt. And I know, and to Floyd's credit, I do believe.

Floyd was at about 60% as far as like 30 foot on the gas maybe 30 yeah I think he he didn't really you know he didn't go in there really taking this guy's obviously obviously he gave the same angles the entire time yeah wasn't but he should have but Floyd he was supposed to he was supposed to put him down one time just to show send the message to the rest of these YouTube is like listen this is not a game you know you come in here with me I'm going tag you you know what I mean like I thought Floyd should have sent that message and or you know who knows it's his as you may have been, let me just not hurt him too bad and leave the door open for another $80 million bag.

It was a spectacle, man. It was 50 bucks and the first three rounds instead of showing replays, they showed commercials. Yeah. And that should say everything. In between rounds is for replays. Listen, man. When it comes to boxing. Shout out to the Paul brothers.

Hope this doesn't fuck up real boxing where boxing feels like they have to do even more of a spectacle to keep up with this type of shit. Yeah. And our boy, Chad Johnson, Ocho Cinco was in there. He got knocked down. You know. Got right back up, man. But he blamed it.

But I like, this is why I like Ocho because we. Yeah, but I like him because he said, if y'all would have let me eat my McDonald's like I usually do before the fights, I wouldn't have gotten knocked down. So I was like, you know what? He's still on brand. He's still sticking with, you know, science is bullshit when it comes to being in shape. Like, listen, you can eat whatever you want, just work out. Yeah, so, I mean, listen, you got a little Chad for that, man. But shout out to him and he didn't get hurt too bad.

I definitely pulled the Ocho Cinco after I got hit and the fight was over. Yo, you got me. He was walking around. Yo, that was a good one. I know I got you. He's like, I know. You felt. Your shit is knotted up.

I know. You got me right now. I saw. You didn't see. Yeah. But yeah, man. Shout out. I don't know.

I think this is a new thing, Rory. I think this is here to stay. This exhibition, you know, celebrities, boxing each other. I think this is here to stay. Are you fighting? I would fight Floyd if he's going to fight like that. No. Why not? If you give me three months to train and Floyd is going to fight at that, like he's not, he's not going to step all the way on the gas.

As much as I'm shitting on the Paul brothers, Logan brothers, whatever the fuck their last name is, they have two first names. They don't know, they have some understanding of boxing. That's like when everyone's saying I can fight them, like, all right, relax. Relax. Relax. He relax over there. Jake, he can fight. Like, I've seen some of his spine. I'm like, oh. He didn't look too bad. Of course, he didn't. No, he didn't, he didn't look bad. But. Jake can, he can fight. Boxing is the most technical sport on earth. Yeah. People think because they've knocked someone out when they weren't looking that they could box. It's not the case.

Listen, I tell people all the time, like, the average street fight is 35 seconds maybe. You're overshooting it. You know what I mean? Like, you're talking about three minute rounds. You got to be in shape for that. Yeah, you got to be in shape for that. But yeah, shout out to everybody that got a bag that night, man. I'm not mad at it.

Again, I just don't want to see the legends fall into this too deep and start ruining their legacy. That's my only thing from it. Okay. You was, you was feeling the Migos, culture three tomorrow, or whenever we put this out today, yesterday. It's out already. Who knows? I think it's, I think it's time. I think it's time for the Migos. I think this is the perfect time. Everything's opening back up. People are moving around. Clubs are starting to open. Venues are open. I think this is the time for, I think they've been waiting for this to, you know, obviously they probably had this in the can for a few months now. I think this is the time. I think this is the time, man. I think this is the Migos time.

I know it may not appear this way because they are the Migos and that just says something in itself. Not saying the Migos fell off, need anything. Pressure's on with this album. I think their fan base said it. I think they know it. I think the casual fan knows it. Culture two was not really it. Again, man. Culture two is not really it. They make great music. They're aligned with other great artists. They do great. features, they do great solo shit, so they're always going to be relevant in that space. But as a group, culture too, wasn't it? There's pressure with this, I think. No, I think there's, you know what, I think there's pressure with any time artists drop a project

because you're either trying to outdo what your last effort was or, you know what I mean? Again, the fans are like, okay, what we're going to do with this one because the last one wasn't. So I think it's always pressure when artists dropping a project, especially when you're a caliber like the Migos, I think so many eyes. and ears are on them. But I think they build for it, man. I think, you know, they just got to do what the Migos do. Don't try to, you know, experiment too much. I think it's good to show growth through your music. I think it's good to, you know, try different things production and music-wise. But as long as you keep that core sound, what makes you who you are and then give us something,

you know, to show like, okay, y'all are growing, y'all are maturing, y'all experiencing life a little differently now. Sprinkle some of that in there. I think it, I think it, I, I think it'll come across just fine for the fans, man. I don't think they need to just stare too far away from what and who they are, though. Does Cuevo give us a 333? I don't know. I hope he don't go too. You know how many times you could flip sweet and sweetie?

Yeah, but I don't want, but see, you'll start to sound salty, though. I know what I mean? And that's my thing. It's like, don't give us too much. Yeah, you could drop, no, but he could drop a few lines and, you know, kind of play, have fun with it. as long as you don't go too far and it starts to sound too like, oh, you're bitter. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Because it's a fine line because even if you're not, you can be absolutely happy for your ex and be like, yo, it's great. People are like, oh, you're salty. You hate and, you know, it can give that. No matter what men become salty, the moment you say a word.

To a degree. Especially if you were really in love. That's weird how women get empowered when they tell their story and men just look salty when we tell ours. Well, we look salty if it was our fault that the relationship ended. Either way.

No. I don't think so. I think if it was, you know, one of those things where y'all just both were like ah it's over i think it's hard you would have to try to look salty in that in that instance now if she cheating on you something like that then absolutely the salt is there well she's brave when she tells her story yeah i should shut the fuck up yeah as men we're supposed to just like take the breakup deal with it yeah you know what i mean we're supposed to make sure we still look right we don't can't get fat and sloppy and start walking around looking

depressed yeah can't do those things we got to keep looking like ourselves we got to put on more jewelry. We got to buy more cars. That's what men have to do. All women have to do. So you're saying suppress our feelings and dump them into material objects. Absolutely. That's how job is men when we break up without significant other. Okay. We have to go out here and we have to look like we are okay. And deep down inside, it's a little boy inside of us crying his eyes out. Okay. So then I'll buy the Maserati, get the new chick, and then take out all that suppressed anger out on her and then we just rinse and repeat.

Exactly. And I just got to get a new watch. Yeah, get a new watch. You got to get a new chain. You got to pop a lot of tags, new designer everywhere, new car. They can't see you in whatever you was driving when y'all were together. You got to get rid of it. Oh, I mean, I'm in a Mazda.

Because nine out of ten times, her chapstick is still in the car somewhere. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's something in the car that reminds you. Her hair. I don't. Her hair is still on the carpet somewhere. You know, the makeup is on the little sun visor thing from her, you know, her hands has

the makeup on it and you still see her fingerprints. Once you see that, while you have to toll and you reach for the easy path, you start crying. You know how it is. Like, you got to make sure to get a whole new car. At hide and seek. Like, at hide and seek? They'll place things.

I always used to find the girls when they have. Not hide and go get it. No. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Hide and seek. Okay. Because that was my thing.

Which is another game from our past that we should, we should have a real therapy. Yeah, we need to have a lot. Hey, maybe we had that one wrong. Who was the first person that came up with hide and go get it? And here's the. I want to talk. Here's the thing. Because it was definitely a guy.

I remember people yelling, let's play hide and go get it, like around adults. And adults were like, yeah, guys, go play. Right, right. Like men with daughters. Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, go. Go ahead. Like, wait, what?

Do you know what we're about to do if we find each other? It was as nasty as kids, man. Hide and go get it, man. We were crazy. We were craziest kids, man. Oh, don't add freeze tag into it. Look at this shit we had to do the internet. Like, these kids now have the internet.

We had freeze tags, still a bacon, manhunt, hide and seek, how I didn't go get it. Remember 7th Heaven? That was a, that was a legendary game. Manhunt kind of turned into hide and go get it depending on who you were playing with. Yeah, but see, if you grew up in certain neighborhoods, it was like, it was just way too many dudes on a block. Yeah. Well, that's why you tried to do like the secret manhunt, like don't tell everyone we're playing. Yeah.

And you go high somewhere together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's when you was like, that's when you were almost in high school, you started to learn. that thing like if we hide together we'll get away from everybody i think i learned my first like sight of shadiness might have been in manhunt of just like allowing certain people to play and other people not to play yeah well just a chance to be like oh let's hide this way oh she's on my team yeah it took a certain level of creep like you had to be a certain type of little creep when you and your friend really got on the same page all right you be a captain i'll be a captain yeah i'm gonna pick her

i'm gonna pick you know kids were fucking scheming it was always there it was always the little The little nastiness was always in our brain. But listen, man, you know, you knew when girls were cute. But then at the same time, it's not like we did anything aggressive in those times. That was much better than being able to send my dick in a phone to a girl at that age. Yeah, no, you don't want to send your dick to a girl now. But like I said, these kids now, I met one kid one time. He was no older than 12.

And we were, you know, messing with him. We were like, man, you ain't got no girls like you, man. get out of here. Like one of those type of thing. You know the little kid on the block. And he was like, what? He was like, I got a bunch of girls. And we laughing at him. Bro, this little dude opened up his phone and showed us a sex tape. Like he was having sex. Yeah. At 12. I'm like, wait, what? I saw why he was so upset. Like, he was like, oh, yeah, got me twisted. Like, I got footage. I'm like, wait, first of all, you have a $1,000 phone at 12 years old. And what's sick about that shit is that makes Apple and Samsung complacent.

in like child pornography to me. I'm not even trying to make a joke. The fact that that's available for children to do and I'm going to sound like an old dickhead here, but that makes Apple complicit in fucking child pornography. The fact that they gave us a camera. The fact that children can do that is nuts.

And I don't know how to fix it. So I'm complaining with no solution. But I don't think you could put that on Apple. Like they don't know that kids are going to take the camera phone and record themselves. They can use my face and my fingerprint. Look. make it a kid's face.

If it's a kid's face, you can't use the camera. But kids can use cameras. I had a camera when I was a kid. And this is not a gender thing either. If my son is sending a dick pick in my house, I'm smacking the shit out of my kid. Joking, joking. I'm going to discipline him in a verbal way and try to understand where it's rooted from. Right.

And I got to talk. And encourage him. Yeah. You can't just, you know, beat your kid, man. You got to talk to them. You're telling him why that was wrong. you know, tell them that this is what can happen. You can get into serious trouble with this type of thing.

But you can't hit your kids, man. No. I wouldn't. I think now raising kids, I'll see a wait. No, I've changed drastically in my stance on beating children. I think it's, now, if you have a kid that's just, like, out here causing terror in the neighborhood and breaking it. Yeah. No.

No. But you, like, some of these kids, you got to be like, all right, man, the timeout and showing them why this was wrong, all of that putting out. that's not working. This kid is still out here stealing shit. He's breaking into people's property. It's costing you because as a parent, you got to pay for all of this shit. Yeah.

Like at that point, as a dad, you got to take your son in the backyard and put the gloves on. And you shoot him. Huh? No, no. I didn't hear anything. The mics went out.

I choked. We were on music, though, I felt like. Migos. Migos 3. Oh, we're off that. Banks. Lloyd. He's back.

Lamborghini Lloyd. The man with the tattooed hands. I was. so happy to hear this project, only because, again, it's continuing the wave of the rap that I grew up on and the type of style and the lyricism and the music and the beats and the production. Like, it's still being celebrated. You know what I mean? Like the Rock Marseys and the, you know, the Gazeldas and, you know, Ransom had a great year. Freddie Gibbs and Alfredo, you know, Royce. That type of music is still being celebrated. And I think that, Lloyd putting out this project is a direct

reflection of, you know, those rappers from that cloth being inspired again. Because now they say that, yo, we still have a place. We still have a place in the market. There's still a fan base that wants that you know, Alfredo being nominated for a Grammy was major for that for that alone. It was like that

was a real hip-hop album. Yeah, I felt it was a full circle moment in rap, period, because not to say that Banks' created the style that Grisota is in now and Gibbs and Hami and everybody

but was definitely leading that in the early and mid-2000s it was nice to see if you go through Banks albums obviously he was with G-unit which was superstars at that point so even though Banks is this super lyrical guy punchline king

all that shit his albums had hits his albums had girl records he slipped in some of his shit in there but his albums were always had some pop appeal to some degree or pop rap at that time. Right. He had to focus on getting the single,

whether that was with 50 or not with 50, or with G unit or not with G unit. Mm-hmm. Then he'd put out his mixtapes in between that would sound like the shit you could tell Banks actually wanted to make. Right. But it didn't really have a market.

One, because it was a mixtape era and that wasn't really profitable. That was kind of like a commercial like, here I'm not going away. Here's something in the meantime while my album comes or while I try to figure out the first single then I'll profit off my album going tour, etc. Banks has been super active in that mixtape space

but it coming full circle and seeing how profitable Griselda has become, how profitable Gibbs has become, the recognition that's come with it. I think, sorry, Basley's going nuts, how profitable that's become. I think Banks is now in the space where he can have his mixtapes sound like his album.

Because if you go back to Hunger for War II, which was his last album, a rotten apple, sits on there. Beamer Benz and Bentley, the joint with Jeremiah. There was a lot of hits on that shit. Finally, Banks can make a album that sounds like the mixtape stuff just at a higher degree. He can rap for real.

He's not just so focused on the choruses. He's not just so focused on, is this the girl record? Is this going to be the one that plays on radio? Is this the one that we're going to put money behind? Is this the one I have to shoot a video for? Right. Like, it was just nice to see everything come full circle for Banks where hip hop is in a place

that values what Banks is best at. Right. Yeah. And again, man, I was just happy, man, because we've, we've wanted a Banks property. I mean, Banks High School

was my favorite rapper, hands down. He was one of the guys that it was like, damn, like, we want to hear from Banks in this time, in this moment. And he delivered. Yeah. His album is amazing.

I listened to it, you know, on our way, on my way here, I was listening to it. I listened to it all day yesterday because before his album came out I was on the mock Hami album Heavy like that was the album that was one of my favorite

of the year yeah definitely one of my favorite to the year And then coming off to mock home and listening to his Banks again it was like Okay the music that the type of rap that I grew up on The type of production and the sound is still here It's still you know it's still an audience for it And you know our favorite artists obviously are still thriving

And that's just great to see man I'm just happy for Banks that he was able to put out this project. Shout out the Hovane. For sure. Yeah, man. Salute the Banks, man. I'm just happy that Banks is still, he's still in shape.

Oh, yeah. Still, you know what I mean? He's still in shape. I mean, if you kept up with his mixtapes, he's definitely always been in shape, but was definitely in mixtape mode. Yeah. And this is that, but on steroids.

Like it's album type music, but it's not, I have to chase, what I used to have to chase in June it, where I'm expected to put out, all right is there a karma on this album is there on fire on this album right and on top of that banks was kind of put in this corner where he didn't necessarily have beef with any of these rappers right his man's because he's loyal to his man's yeah he's going to attack the fat jose he's going to attack kiss he's going to attack game it was so great to see banks and styles and it's great that

done before but like it's just for banks not to have an affiliation and he didn't go feature heavy to any degree. But it's just nice, and I don't know this for a fact, but to see banks have a clear conscience on, it doesn't matter what I work with from my album. Well, you know what it is? Everybody got older, man. Everybody's grown in. Everybody got either got kids. It's like we're not in that same, you know, mentality we were in in the early 2000s where it was like we were young and moving around and it was my crew versus your crew. And it's not that same energy anymore. Now it's like everybody understands like, man, we're grown. We grown, man. You know, everybody is raising their families, taking care of their families. We just want to still exist and put out our art and, you know, still be the artist that people love. And, you know, we still want to create. And I think that it's dope, man. Like, coming off to J. Cole and into the mock comedy and to now and to banks, like, it's just like it's like, it's a very good, very consistent level of rapping that's going on right now. Level of artistry that's still alive. And I'm happy, man. Like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

I'm super excited, like, that this type of rap is still here. It can exist. That people are supporting it. I can't wait to see some of these dudes on the road live. Like, that's another element that they want to get back into and touching their fan base and performing. So this is great, man. I think hip hop is in a very, very good position right now.

Like I said, Jay Cole and to Mock and to Banks, as a rap fan, you can't be mad. You're very, like, right now this is a great time for rap and hip hop. cause I'm concerned. I tweeted when the Cole project came out. Top tier, like sounds will come and go. Trends will come and go. Top tier rapping will never not be relevant. Right. You could fight it as much as you want and call it lyrical miracle shit. You could do any joke you want on that. No one's trying to hear that shit. Yo, I'm trying to party. I'm not trying to hear a fucking lecture. Whatever satire you want to throw to it. Top tier rapping will never not be relevant. Yeah, I agree. And they're showing it, man. So salute to the rappers, the artists that, you know, just have that

certain sound that skill level when it comes to you know hip hop like they're still pushing forward just so it's and it's good to exist in the same space with a lot of the new generation yeah because they could look at it and be like oh okay like you know what I'm saying like we grew up on that like you know but it's still here it's still relevant and it's still a certain level of you know like technique and skill that you have to have if you want to be considered one of the best and you know what I mean I want to say it's too soon but it is something I do want to challenge the Griselda's and the Gibbs and the well rock rock did it with stove god let me not say say that but i do want yeah one of the best albums oh by far oh by far oh for sure i do want to see

this sound of music that is working currently with money and just with attention to find the young kids that do this they're out there they're definitely out there they're out there for sure because a lot of like the era banks came from it's not a slight to banks it's just what that era was unless you had a label which a lot of people didn't have real actual labels they mans in them shit

never really harness talent and try to develop the younger kids and that's where I think that divide came where the younger generation was like we don't fuck with them

old heads old heads was like we don't fuck with them I'd like to see the Griselda's and that crew find the younger generation that does this type of shit and does this type of sound because they exist

yeah no they definitely exist and again this is why this is important so that, you know, it shows those younger dudes that, you know, that came up on this type of sound that there's still a market. There's still an appreciation. Let me stop, because I see Conway doing that. And I do see Benny doing that.

Yeah. For sure. Yeah. They definitely have their crews and their young cats that they're bringing up behind them that, you know, they're carrying that legacy and that torch of we spit, you know, I'm saying. Like, we really rap. And again, man, I'm just, I'm super happy for Lloyd, man. Like, this was like, you know, we got to hear some of the album before it came out, you know,

thanks to Hovane playing a couple joints let me know and I heard it I said oh banks is inspired I was like oh he he he still and he was like yeah man like he I was like okay cool so but to hear it all together and in the joints that we didn't hear I was like whoa he put out a project like this is fire this is a lot to digest words and I'm not saying too much rapping it's just he was saying a lot no he was he was raping he was mature banks man it's father banks it's exactly Husband banks. It's different experiences. You look at that life through a different scope.

I'm not around the same crew anymore, Banks. Right, right. Yeah. I'm happy for me. I finally know who I am, Banks. Like growth, maturity, man. You hear it. It's beautiful to see that rappers can age and still be relevant.

Yeah, I mean, because we feel like rap is such a young sport. Into a degree it is, but it's not as young as we think it is. Yeah. You don't have to be. a super young guy in this in this in this culture to be prosperous and to be successful you can be one of the eldest statesmen and still be dope and still you know put out a great project and you know banks is a is a testament to that shout out to banks man but no i'm glad we sat down quickly chop it up i think we needed to give a a PSA to everyone that's that's been on our mentions supporting us which i

yeah back in work mode really really really appreciate back and i love the and i don't want to call it annoying because it's not annoying. Just everyone's saying, yeah, where the fuck is the podcast at? Yeah. I appreciate that type of shit. No, we,

we, we, we, we, we, we, we got some stuff coming, some, some visual stuff that we,

we shot, um, that we're gonna give to the people, um, but again, man, we just,

we working. And this was something we wanted to sit down and just kind of let people know, it's coming. Yeah, this is something in the meantime.

Um, we're, we're developing some stuff outside of just like, , let's set up some microphones and talk. Yeah. about what's on the shade room.

No, we want to go out. We did that for a long time. Yeah, we elevate. And it was fucking draining. So, yeah, I think this was just a good way to start this page. We'll have some cool shit coming up, some cool shit to put out in the meantime. Then we'll get into the real episodes. We'll still do this.

We'll still definitely sit and chop it up about random shit. Yeah. This is what we do. Baysley needs to stretch her legs, so she can come out. Get Bays out the crib. Yeah, no, this was cool. Finally got my voice back. It's happy to actually speak.

I wanted you to be at 100% and know you was fucked up. Oh, yeah. We're real fucked up. So I'm curious to see how all the stuff we shot in L.A. How it sounds. I think we did a good job, man. Well, you did a good job because I know you were feeling under the weather. But I think that, you know, we were able to capture some dope shit.

And I think that people are going to enjoy it and seeing us in a different light, different space. Yeah. And different content. Again, not just two mics set up and talking. Let's go out and do some fucking activities. Have some fun, man. Let's try some different shit. Let's change the optics a little bit on this media culture or whatever you want to call it.

What are they call it now? Media culture. It's whatever. Oh, okay. Bullshit is what it should be called. In no way becoming the guest-based podcast by any terms at all. But I may talk to some cool people every now. People that we really like and we really appreciate and they appreciate us and they want to sit down and kick it with us. So we're going to be doing a lot of that traveling. We got a interesting trip to Joshua Tree that we've been talking about. Yes.

That we're going to shoot in a couple of months. Oh, and I finally got you to drink at least some shroom tea. Had some shroom tea. And Joshua Tree, you're definitely going to have to actually eat the shroom. Yeah, no, we're going to actually do the shrooms in Joshua Tree. Yeah. But yeah, I had some shroom tea. It was great, man. It was real mellow. It felt like, you know, it had just small. some good weed like it was a real mellow vibe like but i need you i need you to hallucinate and sweat and like tell me your your fears and not i can not god like you're real fears i can do that not my sneakers not your sneaker i can do that without taking shrooms man i could sweat and

We can go do other shit on the same umbrella. We're going to give people us. Yeah. You know what I mean?
