Yeah, things like JLo on her third divorce. Living. Girl's trip to Miami. Mess. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. Girls' trip to Miami. Mess. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. Living. What kind of mess? Yeah.

Well, you get it. Got it. Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So Kendrick Lamar dropped a surprise album and it's crazy. We was at work and then he dropped it right when we were home that Friday before break.

Yep. And I ain't gonna lie, I love it. I love it. I listen to it. I love how short it is because then you can listen to it. Because dissecting an album, a Kendrick album is one of the hardest things to me. But I do it you have to listen to his albums more than once but this one you get everything I

got almost off yeah I was hard is you know people trying to say that he's trying to show that he's better than Drake but I think he's trying to show he's better than everybody this is again what are y'all talking about that's that's he got busy on that out Kendrick has not been in competition with nobody for a very long time that's right that's what you're talking about that album is great yep yep yep the Pulitzer Prize winner. Let's not forget that. And then Wacked Out Murals, Kendrick Address, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne. That's what people was talking about. And so Snoop actually big upped them, you know, K.Dot new album, G&X. Now listen, real quick before we get into the responses. Is it Good Night X, Ginex, or G&X? G&X. Because you never know what kind of G&X is. It's a type of car. G& X. Because you never know what can't be. The car. The G and X is a type of car. G and X. Okay, I don't know.

I just know it's nice. It's a very popular car in LA. It's very culture. Very limited, very limited edition. They only made it for one year, and I think they made just a couple of hundred. It's like a hundred and, if you want to buy it now, one just sold this week for like a hundred and 16,000.

All I ever wanted was a black Grand National. Wow, okay, so that's what that Grand National. It's a limited edition to the Grand National. Because I know I'm not the only one that had this question. Don't be looking at me like, oh, wait. He had a picture of the car on the cover. Oh, I ain't. No, you're right.

I asked that question too. I asked my homies on the West Coast. I said, what's the significance of the Grand National? And they broke it down. Cause Kendrick is so damn coded. We don't know. I asked my man Glasses Malone that last week. You know, right.

It's a ride edition to the Grand National. It's from Lil Wayne Reacted and he said, man, what the F I do? I just be chilling and he still come from my head. Let's not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg you all. No one really wants destruction, not even me, but I shall destroy it if disturbed on

me. Love. It's crazy. Now listen, Lil Wayne is a top five MC of all time. Absolutely. If you're being objective, right? I have to put Lil Wayne in my top five. He don't want no problems with Kendrick right now.

And the reason he don't want no problem with Kendrick right now. And the reason he don't want no problem with Kendrick right now is because emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, little Wayne is not on the level to get out of Kendrick. Because Kendrick would break down little Wayne's whole life. Yeah. Yeah. In a very therapeutic way. Yeah.

And it's not even, but what he said didn't cause for that reaction to me. That's all he said. My hard work, I guess, let him down. But I did feel like, you know, it was like, I was surprised that Wayne took that approach that he did when he responded about not throwing a super bowl or whatever like that. So I just don't think it was big enough for him to do that. But I mean, they're going to be them. Now, Drake, on the other hand, he filed two lawsuits against UMG. And that was the Monday after the album had dropped or whatever. Right. So he filed a pre-action doc that's asking to be able

to get all in UMG's business because he's gonna file a suit but he needs to know who's against it. He's alleging UMG paid for bots, influencers, and podcasters to make noise, for like to push Not Like Us to make it as big as it was. Now on the- The same thing UMG has been doing for him his whole career. Yeah, but he-

I'm sure. He said he got evidence of like, all right, so basically one of the things that stuck out to me is what he said when he said influencers, is videos of influencers like saying like, play Drake music, like you can say it to Siri, like play Drake music. Oh, certified love voice. And then it takes them to-

That's because these things pick up lyrics too. So if you don't know the name of a song and you say keywords, it'll pull up the song. So if you say certified Loverboy in that moment during that week, yes, not like us would come up. Yeah, yeah. And then you predicted this six months ago

on Brilliant Idiots. One, what is the next move for Drake? Lawsuit. No! That's a **** lawsuit. Let me tell you something. Drake is half white. Exactly.

Okay? Drake mama side of the family is like, oh no Aubrey. No. This man is out here calling you a pedophile. No. Listen, there's probably people at Nike. There's probably people at Universal. There's people that got real vested interest in Drake.

That is a multi-billion dollar entity. They're like, you gotta protect your neck. F*** all that rap s***. Call your cousin. Call your cousin. He's the lawyer. He's not suing. And then he- I did predict that. I charged for that too, but it don't work without charge.

Yeah, but he basically feels like, yo, UMG, and he's suing, and he's not suing Kendrick. A lot of people was in the comments, how he's suing Kendrick. No and he's suing, and he's not suing Kendrick. A lot of people was in the comments, are you suing Kendrick? No, he's suing UMG and Spotify, basically saying like, y'all, like y'all, y'all let this man call me at pedophile on this song, that costed me money. Well, he's not suing anybody yet, he just filed a petition.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it wouldn't be against Kendrick. It would be UMG and Spotify. Man, please, you know Kendrick was in that house. I ain't shooting Kendrick, I just shot up the house. Knock it off. Okay, what are you talking about? You know what you're doing. It just showed me that Drake does not understand culture because Not Like Us was a cultural phenomenon. You know, like you can't program a record like that. Like it wouldn't surprise me if one day California made Not Like Us their actual state model. That's how big that record is. And it has nothing to do with programming a playlist or paying a radio. Yeah, I thought the lawsuit was whack.

And the reason I think it was whack is this records and talking about people in records have been going on since the beginning of hip hop. And not only that, if I'm not, correctly if I'm wrong, but didn't Drake throw shots at Kendrick that necessarily weren't true too? Yeah, he said Kendrick beat his woman. He said that Kendrick's woman's, one of their children was day free, his man's child. That's who got the, by the way,

if anybody wanted to sue for defamation, it could be Kendrick's girl. She got the slam dunk defamation suit because she's a civilian. It's hard to prove defamation against public figures, but she's a civilian. She don't got nothing toamation against public figures, but she's a civilian. She don't got nothing to do with none of this. And you said she got beat on,

and you said that one of her children, it was somebody else's and not Kendrick's. Okay. I thought that was wack. I think at this point, yes, you take the L, you regroup and you put out an album, and not the album with party, put out a rap album. And then whatever you feeling in that rap album,

you say in them songs. You should take my advice, Drake, that I told you over the summer. You should take a year off. Yeah, UMG did. UMG spokesperson. Yes he does. Real quick, a spokesperson for UMG, they told us that the suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue.

We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. So yeah. I just don't understand because he's still selling records. He's still selling tours. He's still one of the biggest artists out there. I just don't understand that move. He's light skinned. You do understand that.

He's beige. That ain't light skinned. Oh yes it is. It is, it's beyond light skinned. But also too, Drake is kind of shooting himself in the foot cause what about when he puts out his next project and he wants them little tricks of the trade that he's given up?

There was times when Drake's music would be at the top of the gospel playlist. What the hell is he at the top of the gospel playlist? That was God's player? No, it wasn't God's player. It was this idiot, this idiot, boom my dogs at the top of the gospel playlist. Why? Why? You know what I'm saying?

You put a song at radio and immediately Drake's song is everywhere. Like, come on. Like, so what happens when UMG? Doesn't use those tricks in the trade for his next project. Hmm seems like he's trying to get off UMG I just don't think this is the right Hurt to himself. I mean, there's other distribution houses, but I think This is he's in the middle of negotiation he just read up like two years ago for four years in the middle of negotiations. He just read up like two years ago for 400 million. He is in the middle of renegotiating. Again? He just read up two years ago.

They said he gave, yeah, 600 million now. They said he made that $400 million back, I guess, allegedly from touring and album sales, but they're renegotiating, allegedly now. I don't believe that. That's what they said. I just think people are making excuses for Drake because they like Drake,

because the same way Drake was sitting on the CN Tower people be sitting on Drake's penis just like that. Oh my god. Oh Drake got the greatest D riders of all time. Yeah All right now when we come back let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. There was a lady, do we have audio of the lady, of the woman at all, at Thanksgiving? No. No, they're about to put it in. They're saying it's in. They're pointing at you and saying it's in. Now this lady got a- Damn. Pause.

God damn. A couple, pretty much. So this lady over Thanksgiving got mad at her family because she said last year Thanksgiving was very expensive. It cost her over $500. So this year when family members came, she has spaghetti. Okay. You got the audio? We're doing a new spaghetti for Thanksgiving.

It's a lot easier. You try to keep up with the tradition of Thanksgiving, but the way groceries are, unless you're doing a potluck, if you put it just on one person, it breaks the bank. Instead of spending close to $500, I figured, I'm going to keep it simple. You spent almost $500 last year? Yes, it was egregious.

It hurt, to say the least. And then the turnaround knowing that rent was due the next week. Me doing that beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, lambam, lamb, ram, ham, hogma, I'm not doing it. I ain't got the funds. You feel like you're taking the holidays away from your kids or your family. I'm just happy that we get to experience it, even if it's not, you know, the mashed potatoes and green bean casserole type of situation. Damn. I mean, I get it. I get it. I mean... The family was mad. They wanted... well, the people were talking in the comments.

They were upset. They was like, that's kind of wack. But... Bring me some money. Bring me some food or something then. But I thought Thanksgiving was about family. It is. Family coming together. Whatever you could provide on your table, that's all that mattered. If that's what she could afford. If it was just spaghetti, it was just spaghetti. If it was just bread, it was just bread. But at the end of the day, you want your family together.

The fact that you got your parents, your grandparents, your cousins, your brothers, your sisters. I think that's what it is. It's more so about being thankful. Let's open up the phone lines with your thoughts. 800-585-1051. You go to Thanksgiving for your family member. When you get there, they got spaghetti. How you feeling out there?

Let's discuss. Let's talk. 800-585-1051. How would you feel if you showed up and they were serving spaghetti? Let's talk. It's talk. 800-585-1051. How would you feel if you showed up and they were serving spaghetti? Let's talk at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake that ass up.
