Come on, Mo. Just fuck shit. Don't start this shit already, man. Mo, we pushed the podcast back a day because you had a previous engagement, right? You got engaged? You're right. Are you going to tell us?

That is kind of what you're right. We all wanted to know what the engagement was. I was confused. When you put it in the text. You didn't send the most professional text out there. Is that your call-out-of-work text? You pushed the podcast back to go play Family Feud at Taj. How'd that go, by the way?

We won. And they were supposed to give us Pete's headphones, and they gave us the $12.99 shit you get at Penn Station. It was friends that feud. Friends that feud. Excuse me. And we won.

No thanks to Maul. No thanks to you. No thanks to you. You weren't even at the table. You was just running around. Yelling with a cape on. That's what you did all night. I don't think you contributed

one answer, Joe. Oh, he had a frock He had a full length hoodie on Full length To the knees To the ankles That motherfucker was In a sleeping bag

He just had two slits On the side So he can Zippers Zippers Zippers on the side Zippers Not slits

They look like slits No they didn't They look like zippers They look like slits You were with me, so you saw. I didn't know it was a zipper until just now. And I was with you for about four hours that night. Were you looking at me?

I mean, everybody was. You was gallivanting around the whole spot all night. In a sleeping bag, apparently. With a hood. Sleeping bag with a hood. That's good. Y'all come alive when the mic's on. I like that.

Yeah, we professionals. All of us can't get custom-made hoodies. You do have a lot of hoodies, bro. A lot-made hoodies you do have a lot of hoodies a lot of custom hoodies i know a lot of creative people that's dope what tell us about this ensemble about this little jungle the crack is wax the keith harry spike lee-ish thing little keith harron inspired you can't wear all this pro black shit and support sabrina claudio it's okay you are a phony nigga man all right so that right, so I'm going to push the podcast back for reasons that will remain unknown. That's fine.

I walked in on Parks. Where is this going? I walked in on Parks asking my good buddy, Ian, if this weekend he was free to get together and have a wives, a wives night. Ah. Well, wives night. Ah. Well, couples night, man. Those keep a friendship strong. He is such a loser, right?

A wives night. Neither of them are married. No, but the funny- I kind of hate when y'all keep doing that shit. I didn't know. They're not your wife. They're your girl. Well, okay.

Joe claimed he married. He not. He not even engaged. Well, you all in my business. You don't know what's going on in mine, sir. Let's keep the jokes where they should be. I didn't know men actually went through with wives night. So that's why you're a loser.

I know you have to act like you want to do it. Well, that's. But you're actually playing. You are. We say it. No, you're trying to do it. And then Rory came in Looking Exhausted from work

Yeah man Which is already He's a loser And it's tax week That took a toll on me I know you guys don't pay your taxes But I do And it's really tough

What type of mood are you in today? Word That's like real life snitching That you're doing Word In case anybody from the IRS Because I know you guys pay your taxes It was a joke

Here you go I have to pay two taxes. It was a joke. Here you go. I have to pay two taxes, so I don't look forward to tax time. Rory came in looking really exhausted from work, and he pulled out his laptop, and I didn't know Rory was the guy who got off of work and hooked his laptop up to do work,

so I was really intrigued by that, so I was watching him, and I learned that Rory types really, really well, and then I was like, damn, Rory's a loser. You never want to know that your friends type that well. So you are trash. We use your two index fingers to type.

And Maul is trash. So that is my friend update. All of my friends are still trash. Thanks, Joe. Now, Nicki Minaj, let's get right to the business. Come on, Maul. You've been waiting for this moment I'm not saying You've been waiting

That's why I don't like When you come in and try to be I'm not saying It's a podcast So you have to say something Y'all already try to kill me Every time I say something Positive about Nicki

Y'all tell me I'm down With the barbs No, you are a barb I'm not a barb You are a barb I don't have any Yes, you are You wore a pink hoodie last week I don't care what You are a barb. I don't have any Nicki music in my body. You wore a pink hoodie

last week. I don't care what I wore. I don't have any Nicki music in my phone, my computer at all. That's the thing that people don't know about me. I just know what

good music is. What does that mean? I know what good music is versus the shit that y'all be hyping up. What we hyped up. What did we hype up? Okay, now y'all don't know

what y'all hyped up. Damn, Mola's acting extra aggressive toward us with this Nicki topic. I'm just saying. I'm trying to stand. You can't be a Nicki fan now. Don't do that.

He's half right, though. No, I'm 100% right. I'm going to turn this live off and get you guys now. I'm 100% right. All right, so let's have the conversation. You can't be a Nicki fan at all. Don't ride with Nicki now. Don't do that.

Don't do that. Why? Stay over there. Don't do that. Why? Stay over there. Where's the roads coming from? It's Maul's moment. His moment for life. I'm chilling. You are not chilling. I'm chilling. You're deflecting. I'm not deflecting anything. Listen. I'm laughing at the fact that you of all people are

on this Nicki wave now. You of all people. You. Yes, you. Can you delve further into the point you're making? Because you spent your time shitting on Nicki for the past however many months. Probably the last year and a half. Exactly. So?

So how now are you a Barb all of a sudden? Because you are indeed a Barb now. I'm sure they're still recruiting. Can you click hop? Could you be part of the Navy too? What's Cardi's people? All right, since Maul doesn't want to properly explain what he's attempting to tell me. I'm explaining what I'm telling you.

So if Nicki drops good music, you're telling me I can't like it? I'm not saying you can't like it. Then what are you saying? You can't sit on your laptop and be blasting Nicki's music and all of this other shit. You can't do that. What if it's a jam, though? Yes, I can. No, you can't.

Don't do that. All right. I'm done with more. That's called being fake. No, it's not, more. It is. Well, now it's not. Because she's been putting out good music.

No, she hasn't. That is your opinion. Yes, she has. Yes, she has been putting out good music No she hasn't That is your opinion Yes she has Yes she has been putting out good music The whole Remy shit I'm still waiting for y'all to say I was right about that You're not right I'm still taking Sheetha over

You haven't been right For two years When was the last time you played Sheetha When was the last time you played No Frauds That's not what I'm asking That's a single I'm asking. That's not what I'm asking. And that's a single with Drake and Lil Wayne. When is the last time you played anything from Remy?

All the way up. I listen to a lot. All the way up, he just said. That was her most recent single, no? Yeah, let's get to the bottom, Maul. I don't understand what Maul has against every female rapper that's not Nicki Minaj. I don't have nothing against any female rapper. Why are you asking us the last time we played Remy Ma? I'm saying all the female rappers that y'all Minaj. I don't have nothing against any female rapper. Why are you asking us

the last time we played I'm saying all the female rappers that y'all claim are better than Nicki at some point, y'all don't even support them. All right, well,

I'm not, right or wrong? When have you supported Remy on this podcast? When have you played anything from Remy? Well, there's a lot of artists

I don't play that I still support. I just don't play him on the podcast. When have you played anything from Remy? When is the last time you mentioned Remy? Joe doesn't play hip hop anyway. I just don't play them On the podcast When is the last time You mentioned Remy

Joe doesn't play Hip hop anyway I'm just asking When is the last time You mentioned Remy's name But to answer your question With these horrific points You're making

I've purchased Remy Ma's music That he's purchased music I have purchased Cardi's music Over the weekend I purchased Hardcore For the ninth time

I purchased Eve's music All of that sounds good I purchased All of for the ninth time. I purchased Eve's music. All of that sounds good. I purchased. All of that sounds good. Yeah, that's called supporting. I'm not like y'all. Y'all are fans of people. Y'all are fans of people.

I don't even know these people. What are you talking about? You act like you know. No, you act like you know. I don't know any of these people you're talking about. I don't know any of these people. So since you don't, allow me to continue with my very objective Nicki Minaj assessment unlike you I'm gonna criticize Nicki Minaj when Nicki Minaj does fuck shit I am I am you gonna defend it to the death that's your

prerogative I am not defended I'm talking about music well you're defending no frauds my nigga what are you talking about I said she was better I said she's the best female rapper and y'all argue me down and say she's not well now I don't even know what conversation you you talking about? I said she was better. She's a better. I said she's the best female rapper, and y'all argue me down and say she's not. Now I don't even know what conversation you're talking about. I would still argue that she wasn't. This is the second time I've come in here to big somebody up, and now you have me arguing with you about a point that I wasn't making. I'm not saying.

I'm not. I'm just saying. Unfortunately for you, Maul, I can like the Nicki Minaj records, and I do. No, you can. You can. I like them both. But you're going to hear about it from me. And i am in support of both know why she's moving different she's rapping different she sounds different what part about all of that are you missing she's moving

different and this ain't even really an argument for me to have with niggas like you because i've called this for two years and everything i've said about nikki minaj her fucking ass turned around and did so i don't really give a fuck what you're talking about what did she turn around and do that you said i said stop with the accolades for two years right let's talk about i got points stop with the accolades yes she's talking my accolades on her part pardon me sir i told her for years for years stop with the accolades when there's nothing to promote. You are too big of a superstar. I said that.

Know what she did? She stopped. Oh, she took heed to your words? Whether subconsciously or not. I mean, we don't speak, but what I'm saying is well documented. Know what she did? She went away. Know what she did?

She stopped posting her fucking accolades. That's what she did. When she put them three records out last year around the same time they all were trash they all were bad they were bad with the iHeartRadio stimulus package they were bad with all of the fucking celebrities trying to say they were good now you got me talking aggressive and I'm trying to rep for the fucking barbs barbs we here now let me hit the gunshot on this motherfucker. Barbz, we here. She dedicated her entire first record featuring Drake and Dwayne to Remy Ma. It's a mistake. It's a mistake.

She shitted on a lot of women. Those were mistakes. Those were mistakes. Those were mistakes. I'm giving Nicki Minaj props for recognizing these as mistakes. I'm not in love with people. I'm only here for the music. Sorry, no frauds wasn't hitting for me. That wasn't my vibe.

That wasn't what I was jamming out to. Chun-Li, though. It's a good record. I like Chun-Li a lot. Chun-Li is hard. Chun-Li is hard. You still got your winter jacket on. This is a very light jacket, actually.

It's like a spring jacket. She got back to the basics. The whole Young Money crew is getting back to what made them successful before. Nicki just rapping on good beats and not trying to be something else. And Drake being the nice guy that he is and making nice records for women. Let's stay on Nicki for a bit. Drake is always going to get his proper recognition. But this has been a plan in the making for a little while for Nicki.

She spoke about how on that Zayn interview, and we're going to get into that Zayn interview, but she spoke about how some of the records were old. So last week, that record, that snippet that was going around that people said was about Cardi, but all the bars said it was about Eve. So they were right because that record didn't come out. So yeah, that record is old. Did you guys hear the Zayn interview? Everyone?

Anyone? I did, yes. I did not. I couldn't come out. So yeah, that record is old. Did you guys hear the Zayn interview? Everyone, anyone? I did, yes. I did not. I couldn't find it. I listened to the records first, and if I didn't like the records, I wasn't going to watch the Zayn interview, because I've been on record on this podcast

saying how much I hate Zayn Lowe interviews. They're very scripted. He just rides the art, whatever the artist wants to talk about, let's just talk how great you are, let's never really address anything, and if we're going to address it, we're going to address it in your way

with scripted answers that we've already talked about before we do the interview. And that's what happened this time. So I watched it because I thought the records were good and I was on board with this new Nicki and this rollout that she has.

But no. Fuck out of here, Zane. Like I always say with every interview you do. I liked one of them, like the first one. I forgot who it was, but maybe Kanye or something. Zane Lowe. And I one of them like the first one i forgot who it was but maybe kanye something zane zane low and i'm sorry even the kanye one we'll stay on nikki but the

kanye one kanye was doing what kanye was doing and all zane was doing was saying oh my god you're the greatest ever like can you at least challenge some of the nuts things that kanye is saying right now i know zane low isowe is Larry Jackson's man. Yeah. He's had a lot to do with the creative shit of Apple Music and I give him his credit there just interviewing

his thing. Zane Lowe is easily one of the worst interviewers I've ever heard. Listening to that Nicki interview boy he was horrendous. And anytime it felt like

she was about to give you something where you could lean on, he stopped it. Scripted answers. They had that interview before with the cameras off already. That was the second time they did that. Hmm.

Yeah, I don't want to hear Zane Lowe anymore. And it could be edited if she even goes over that line, which I know a lot lot of interviews can but they're on a different type of time with Apple they know if I bring my artist to Zane it'll be safe this is exactly what I want to be portrayed speaking of advice that I've given right that that I think people have followed whether knowingly or not I didn't expect Nicki Minaj to do any other interviews I didn't expect her to do Breakfast Club or really Ebro you know I expected one big splash right but

I have I have what I think is a phenomenal idea and Nicki if you're listening just hear me out here oh I'm's gonna get a real kick out of this one I think the best thing for Nicki Minaj to do right now or before that album drops is a podcast like her own one

with guests or go on someone else's podcast? No this one oh well I'm on board right Queens her own one with guests or go on someone else's podcast? No, this one. Oh, well I'm on board. We're right in Queens. Joe's idea is to come on my podcast. I like it. She can do her thing on the couch.

Well, can we not disrespect her? You can't even say do your thing on my couch with the me too movement going on that's true you gotta be very careful with your word hear me out uh nikki should hate me right but we have the number one podcast and we don't have ads so if that interview does 50 000 or 50 million it's not gonna change but so much right so that eliminates our agenda that's one two the interview that people want to hear is her not across from zane low

she has to get back to the root i.. Meek Mill doing taxes podcast while they had beef. I thought that was a genius idea. I mean, it don't have to be this podcast, but she should do a podcast. We've done hearing Zane Lowe and Nicki Minaj. It's over. Yeah, it would have to be like a podcast that's kind of brutally honest and not super industry-y. Well, that's why she might as well come do this podcast. That's true. Maul is here.

He ain't going to let it get too crazy. Yeah, but if you've looked at what... If you watched the Zayn interview, the angle that they was trying to portray is that everyone has made me the bad guy and I'm not the bad guy. If she goes on a, a quote unscripted podcast on everyday struggle too by the way i said nikki raps way too well for y'all to let her use the sympathy card like she's going to be able to use if y'all keep attacking her this way and she sure enough came out with the sympathy card yeah with the victim card with the nobody likes me everybody hates me especially all the men. Like she feels this way.

I want to get into these records a little bit and then I want to get to Cove, right? I would. Before we get there, do you think she has any right in that sense to feel like people in the industry hate her? She thinks that men don't like her? Yeah. She said that a lot. In her defense, there has been a little bit of a Nikki hate since Cardi's came

around, I think. I think she has some grounds to stand on. I don't want her to sit there and cry about what happened between the Migos. Nikki hated Nikki before Cardi came around. I think it heightened a bit. I think that's the part that gets confusing. Yeah, of course it heightened, because now there was another woman to cheer for. Same way when Remy came home, there was another woman

to cheer for. But, yeah, alright, back to, wait, where's my shit here? Now there was another woman to cheer for. Same way when Remy came home, there was another woman to cheer for. Which is horrible, but yeah. But yeah. All right, back to, wait, where's my shit here? Where's my shit here? All right, list them out. Nikki, Zayn. Oh, I would play these Nikki records because I'm in full support of them, but Universal is like the only label that still enforces that don't play our shit shit.

Universal's the worst. Why are they? I understand that Frank Ocean really fucked them over in that whole Apple deal. That was swag. I was on Insta Live playing the Nicki record, and they cut it off. For real?

Yeah. Wow. They cut the Insta Live off. So that told me, you know. That's crazy. That's wild. Word. Insta Live?

Yeah. So I won't play those records, but I want to get into them a little bit because I thought there was a lot of information in them records. First of all, let's get to Barbie Tings. My bad for saying Tings, right? I thought, Maul, that was how you should diss Remy. I thought that that was eloquently done. It was a great sub and it was in and out. It wasn't too much attention and too much focus.

And it was well put. Was it worth it? Dummy, I ain't mind a bit still on that show. Getting no chips. Time to dip. Huh? Get it?

Chips. They dip. Dip chips time to dip huh get it chips they dip dip i do i get it so that whole song is a cardi and remi dis is that the one with the suck mcs drums they both yes yeah i like that one i like how she did i like how she did it and all right let me pull this from the Zayn interview. It was very hard to pull anything from that fuckity fuck ass Zayn interview. But this is what I did pull. Tokyo. The city?

The hairdresser. Oh, yeah. It always comes down to the hairdresser. Makeup and hair chicks know everything i mean it's a dude but my bad tokyo is a hairstylist okay who works for cardi who used to work for nikki uh probably why those bad baby hair pics went out but do y'all know how serious it is she said it very casually but when you listen to the records

and she starts talking about bitches taking her style. Like, yeah, you're taking my whole team that helped. You're taking my... I had to leave off IG. She was talking my shit. There's hurt there. There's hurt there. Over the hairdresser.

Yeah, you better fucking believe you took my hair stylist on the day i was supposed to shoot the video with you dog that's chess dog that's big there i love you know what's funny about you more i would have did this podcast yesterday without you but because we were going to discuss Nicki, I wanted to wait. And now you sitting here with the nerve to be fucking quiet. I'm listening. I didn't know any of this. I didn't see the interview, so I'm gaining information right now.

Well, why don't you give me your analysis of the songs? I like Chun-Li better than the other record. I think they're both good, but Chun-Li, I think, is the one. Boy, that Chun-L li beat is hard yeah um i wasn't all the way in on the hook at first i was gonna say i'm i think that's what's gonna lead the record at first and then i i quickly realized i was wrong um and then i just started getting into the structure of that record and then it reminded me of that Meek and Nikki record that came out and Meek was doing interviews both of them were doing interviews

saying how she kind of had to A&R that record and he didn't want to go with that and she kind of put it together and that record worked and did really well it led me to Nikki Makes Records Nikki Makes Records so when I'm listening to the awkward structure in this Chun-Li song, because boy was I laughing at those talk breaks.

But as I kept playing the record, those talk breaks were necessary because she knows how to make a song. But why does she have to sing on every damn thing? Why is she asking for the password to Wi-Fi on the end of Chun-Li? Can somebody tell me? Have you paid data plan charges when you go over there? Pretty expensive. Well, now they got the thing where it just pops up and you can just sign something.

Guys, that wasn't the point I was getting at. Oh, my bad. I was more so talking about the singing at the end of the song where she's asking for the password to the Wi-Fi. I could have done without that. Even though. She's been doing that since mix like before she even popped she was doing that she was doing like the best i ever had beat she would sing at the end of all those that's like her style no i'm not talking about singing i'm

talking about asking for the password to the wi-fi while you're singing on the end of the song that sounds like a hit and i mean i get why get why it's done. After a Scarface impression? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was my only thing with that one. But I'm in. I'm in. I don't have any more to say about these two records. I'm just going to wait to hear some more.

The video, I was a little disappointed. I think that record warranted more than the cell phone in the studio play. I know in the Zayn shit, she ran with the story that, oh, I was just doing angles in the studio play i know in the zane chichi ran with the story that oh i was just doing angles in the studio and then we shot the whole video but that i think could be a hit and there's a lot you can do with that sound and that concept for a video so i think that one might just get brushed aside the way it could have actually done some numbers and i might be over analyzing here well here. Well, I definitely am overanalyzing here. I think there's some Migo smoke in between them two records, too.

I think she very eloquently put... I think that whole... I'm signed to Wayne's fully designed crew part is kind of like a dick how so I don't know if I'm following yet okay alright let me try to get to where how I got here every female

rapper has a guy everyone Eve had DMX Cardi has Offset yeah Foxy had fucking Hov Foxy had Big 2 and Nas Everyone. Eve had DMX. Cardi has Offset. Yeah. Foxy had fucking Hove. Foxy had Big 2. And Nas.

And Nas. Yeah, Foxy got... Queen Latifah... Oh, yeah. Rod Diggah had Bust. Rod Diggah had Bust. They all had one. God damn it. Yeah, fucking Yo-Yo had Ice Cube.

For our female listeners, I want to speak wrong Lady of Rage had Fucking who did Rage have Who did MC Lyte have MC Lyte I used to remember who they told me Wrote

KC wrote a lot of that stuff King of Chill But I mean So my point was Why is Nicki Minaj telling us that she spoke to hove and that she would sign there if she didn't sign to the hottest crew ever which is wayne and drake we're all agreeable there uh this after the news that cardi changed teams she had another jab in there about changing teams i can't play the music so i can't go to it um i just think that she's saying we still

them niggas i'm still that bitch wayne and drake is still wayne and drake in the interview she said she was a little mad at Quavo and them For what? Because when she texted him and said Hold me down He hit back and said If you was my girl I would hold you down LOL So

Yo Offset really hit Nicki with you Not even my girl No I think it was Quavo that said that Whichever one Whichever one That matters Whichever one it was I think it was quavo no i think it was

offset because his girl was cardi you're not you're not my girlfriend cardi's my girlfriend i think i saw that it was quavo it was quavo saying yo i would defend you if you're my girl oh all right now i see why she was upset that's a little foul coming from i thought it was offset saying like you're not my girl cardi's my girl my girl. No. It was quite a bit. So I got that little bit from the Zayn interview. So when you bring up Hove is still the kingpin, I mean, it just sounds like you're taking me somewhere. And I would have fucked with him if I didn't fuck with these niggas. It just sounds like you are indirectly saying you and them niggas that everybody says is piping hot. I don't view y'all that way.

Can we not use the word piping? I know it's becoming popular. It's just weird. Is piping becoming popular? It's in the Drake song. That one song, Pipe It Up. It's just too much for... There's a song that says Pipe It Up, Pipe It Up? I believe so. Why are you listening to Pipe It Up?

I play to the club. Why are you at a club where they're playing pipe it up? Why didn't you read? What song is it? I don't know the song. I don't know the song either. I think that's Amigo's record.

I think it is too. Pipe it up. And then Drake said it and then you just said it. I'm scared that this is becoming a word that is loosely used. It's a word. Anyway, that was just me

overanalyzing some shit. Yeah, I think you are a little bit. I mean, I'm just getting it this is becoming a word that is loosely used it's a word anyway that was just me me over analyzing some shit yeah i think you are a little bit well i mean i'm just getting it from the interview too no i think there's something there with amigos obviously because she straight said it and started crying but i don't know if that section in the song was do we think that nikki minaj knows how to cry on cue yes she went to la guardia high. I think that was a course. Yeah, I think she needed to take the course again. I wanted to see some water. Natural tears fall or some shit. Do we have anything else to say about Nicki?

Hold up. Oh, oh my God. What did she say? I'm in my prime. Nicki has to stop doing that prime optimist thing. It's over for that. But the next bar was telling. What'd she say?

That's why I was digging deep into that. whole verse i'm in my prime optimist sagittarius so you know i'm an optimist right yeah i was definitely digging too deep i started to think about some of the other sagittarius rappers oh yeah you're digging way too deep how do you know so many rappers astrological size you definitely have heard pipe it up i don't know what the fuck you're talking about because i felt like nikki nikki mall's having a blast i felt like she was addressing some shit that was just very below the radar so then i wondered why why is she telling us her sign i thought that women do that often you do that not in bar definitely a bunch of Virgo Joe bars somewhere. In bar number two, to say Sagittarius, so you know I'm an optimist, I said, Nikki really doesn't miss a beat.

And I feel like she's about to respond to a whole bunch of people about a whole bunch of shit. So I looked up some of the other Sagittarius rappers. What site had that? Google. And there was Drake. Wait. Oh, God.

Who doesn't miss a beat. Y'all are laughing. He's got good timing. Does Drake miss a beat more? No. Wayne. He don't miss a beat. Hove.

Lil Wayne? Yeah. He's not a Sagittarius. Well, his picture was there. He's a Libra there he's a Libra he's a Libra yeah but you know he's a Packers fan

and a Vikings fan you know he might have two signs he might have two signs Hov Sag don't miss a beat I don't know much about astrology

you know that you know Hov don't miss a beat oh no yeah not at all. It's important I say this stuff because when we said, when we used to say how people didn't miss a beat, well, when I used to say that Hov didn't miss a beat, everybody just laughed at me and said,

nigga, Hov don't know you. Get the fuck out of here, nigga. It was very difficult to fathom that stars of that magnitude didn't miss a beat. I don't know. I read into that Nicki song a little too deep, but I'm waiting for the next one and i think she's swinging at niggas speaking of swinging at people before i was rudely interrupted last week with my cold points yes wipe your forehead off

don't don't tell me to wipe my forehead so what I was attempting to say last week before I was so rudely interrupted, it wasn't that J. Cole has never rapped that way. That answer is not even fact-based, so I would never argue it. It was telling to me that he was rapping so aggressively next to Kendrick and next to Royce, two em mcs who we all think very highly of so that told me we're gonna get a competitive j cole and i don't think we have ever seen a competitive j cole and to check that i went and listened to 100 J. Cole interviews. And in all of them, he's doing that Mr. Wendell swag.

I don't care about the numbers, man. I don't care about none of that. It's not my thing. I don't care about that. I'm not in the time to rest. He always has been the guy to be highly capable but didn't care. It doesn't sound like that now, is what I'm saying. He competed with Drake on the Jodeci joint.

I don't think he was competing with Drake on the Jodeci joint. I think he did the same thing when he saw... Emphasis on the word competing. I think he did the same thing when he... I'm sure Jeezy said, yo, I'm trying to get you and Kendrick on this record. And Cole immediately thought, well, I have to step it up because Kendrick is a great MC. And hey, I'm rapping with Royce the Five Nine. I know Royce's history. I need to rap really well in this.

Hey, I know Drake is the biggest artist in the world and can actually rap. I need to step up. You're wrong about that. At what part? Only the beginning part. Cole's record. I mean, Cole's verse was on that Jeezy record, allegedly. Okay.

I was just guessing that Jeezy said, yo, I'm trying to get you all honest. And it was Kendrick, allegedly, who ducked the smoke. Okay. That's an important little distinction to make there. So now you have, what do y'all think? All speculation, but yeah. Yes, all speculation indeed.

What do y'all make of J. Cole's pop-up pop-ups that he's doing now I think it's pretty cool yeah I mean that's what he does yeah it's in line with the dollar

and the dream shit that's how his fans like to digest new announcements that's just what he's into I thought it was great that all the cool

industry people couldn't there was no guest list there was no phones so there's no reason for me to go to an event if I can't prove that I was there. I saw a lot of industry people tweeting about it. Oh, I saw them trying to get off by taking pictures of their wristbands.

I said, they'll find any way. Didn't J. Cole do something one time for, he was playing the album at, going to random people's houses? Yeah, that was for 4SL Drive. Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's dope at that. He always does unique things. For Born Center,

I forgot what spot that was on 34th, but you had to go in and you could only listen to it in headphones. And they gave you an app on your phone that deleted itself

when it was over. But it was like a listening session where you had to listen to it. It was in a theater and you had to put headphones on. Which was pretty cool.

It was pretty cool. And then he had a bunch of like visuals and shit around. So Cole always does unique things when his album is coming out. He's really good at that. I think it was pretty interesting that he just did the Cole drop,

you know. He just did what? The surprise, the surprise drop. He surprised dropped before. Yeah, I think the last album was, was a surprise.

Nah, they had a whole documentary and shit. I think that came after. Yeah, that was after. Oh, for real? It was a surprise Nah they had a whole Documentary and shit I think that came after No Yeah that was after Oh for real? It was surprisingly bad

I'm shutting up Cause he ain't playing On this new album But wait So now We know that Cole Is on some Some other shit

Because Boy This is the first J. Cole release Where the group chat is really exciting, man. Yeah. I've never seen...

No, don't chime in, Rory. The group chat is really lit here. And I almost want to say that Rory spearheaded it, but I think it might be Ice. Look at Ice. Okay, Cole's album cover and track list

raise my anticipation for this project even higher. What the fuck is Ice? Shut the fuck up, Ice. I don't think anyone's ever said anticipation in our chat. Wait,

he's Rory. Wait, Rory said something funny. I don't see it now. Damn it. Oh, I can't clown Rory. No,

I asked if y'all had seen the little reference leak thing that they put on Apple Music. The thing with his alter ego or some shit? Yeah, which,

if they put the track list out and there was two features, like, what the fuck is the name? Edward Scissorhand, Kill Edward? Some shit, yeah. He's the two features. So everyone was like, oh shit, Cole's not gonna go platinum, you know the joke,

without features. And then I guess they're putting a reference shit out that had been on Spotify and Apple Music for quite some time just under this alter ego that no one had clicked. And then they found it. All right, y'all know way too much about Cole.'all alter egos is hidden track what's his what's his sign because i know you're into that i don't know your whole sign you should google look up on

that site hardy harley did i ever tell a story on this podcast i delayed reaction because wayne is not a it's not a sag. Did I ever tell a story on this podcast about Wayne threatening to kill me? I mean, you've told me. I don't know if you've

said it on this podcast. I don't know if you've said it on here. That's all Maul's fault. Hey, and, and, and,

and, and, and but maul but maul a and r'd uh she don't she don't uh put it down like oh i thought you said he was about to end on the phone call that you got killed no he a and r the record and the record is what almost got me killed so maul and low-key what was low-key doing from i mean i'll let you tell the story but it was from a clip that you were with low-key talking about a member of young money all right long story less long the low-key and val did something in the city they were filming it was like a round table some somebody's album was coming i said something i shouldn't have said about gutter gutter who i didn't know at the time and that was the end of

that fast forward we go to the awards slaughterhouselaughterhouse there. Will Smith. The Kardashians. Young Money in their prime. We were sitting next to mad niggas we shouldn't have been sitting around. I had McDonald's. We was having a blast. But anyway, somehow Wayne and I exchanged information. And somehow we actually, oh no, I was never going to use that number.

And Maul, oh let me play the little happy sound bite for Maul. Oh, Maul. I don't know why we fake beefing. We got a lot of history, man. I'm not beefing. I was just going to tell you a story. What was I saying just now? Oh, Maul said, that's when Maul pulled me to the side,

and he gave me the whole speech about trying to be friends with rappers. It's like, yo, man, sometimes you need to get out of your own way, man. Sometimes things is just, it's God working. Like he did some whole Muslim speech. And I hit Wayne. And Wayne said he'll do the verse, man. Round of applause for Wayne saying he would do the verse. Nice one.

Said he was going on tour with Em, but he was going to try to get it done. And then in between there, I think he bumped into the gutta gutta clip. His own clip? No, the clip that Lowkey put out where I said something. I thought you said the gutta gutta click. No, the clip about gutta gutta.

So when I called him to check on the verse, he wasn't happy. he was in bad spirits and and he let me know about it it's something to the effect of you better apologize motherfucker you got the nerve to ask for a verse after you disrespected my family you lucky lucky motherfucker. Something like that. And then he banged it on me. Swag. I was hot. I went and hopped in the shower. That's when you know you're hot for real.

I went and took a shower. Went to cool off. To cool off a little bit. Fucking. This is when Wayne was at his prime. See, I got the biggest rapper in the world. Tell you what, he's going to fucking kill me for some shit I don't even remember saying. So I went back and looked at it.

I cursed low out. In my head, anyway. And then I apologized to Gutter Gutter, man. And then Wayne did the verse. How did that apology go it was great it was a great apology nah it was good

was it like a three way call we made or you know no no I spoke to gutter myself and gutter actually turned out to be a great guy you know

you gotta really stop offending people that you don't know it's just a novel idea oh wait 2018 oh wait 2018 oh wait no no

this is part of your marketing plan holy shit wait here whoa hold up quick sidebar Rory told me when he was reading

me his list of topics that that Hellrell changed his name to Fortune yeah I was wondering if you

guys care what yeah Hellrell break the story nigga breaking news Daily Mail I was scrolling through YouTube the way Wayne was scrolling to find your clip What? Yeah, Hell Rel. Break the story, nigga. Breaking news. Daily Mail.

I was scrolling through YouTube the way Wayne was scrolling to find your clip, and I see Hell Rel changes his name. So naturally, I was curious to what Hell Rel changed his name to. Then he got on, told me that his jewelry was real, as he does with every Insta Live. That's important. He said, y'all can never refer to me as Hell Rel again. You have to refer to me as Fortune. And then he banged the Insta live. So now, his name is Fortune.

Well, what's the symbolicness, bud? They hit that nigga like he had four chains. They hit that nigga like they couldn't miss. Four chains. Can we go back 10 seconds to where you say you shouldn't offend people nah I love LRL I fuck with Fortune

alright anyway that sound like an R&B singer under Berg Berg definitely A&R's an artist named Fortune wait alright so back to Cole back to competitive Cole the album cover says to me that he's being competitive too You think so? Why are all the little druggie kids underneath Cole's super cape?

He doesn't even have eyes With a crown on Cole's putting a crown on his head He's here to save him Huh? He's here to save him That don't sound like a new competitive Cole, come on That's true

Come on And hey, did y'all hear the snippet? The leak, that leak from the news Sound like call. Come on. That's true. Come on. And, hey, did y'all hear the snippet? The leak that leaked from the news? Yeah, the little footage. Sound like he wasn't playing around. That's true. Yeah. And Friday.

We ain't about to talk tomorrow And one of the records is called Once an Addict And on the cover it says In little letters This album is in no way Intended to glorify addiction Cole

There's a lot going on here. Cole has had enough. The back, the kids look nuts. Can we talk about how J. Cole is really turning into Savion Glover right in front of our eyes? Nobody has addressed that. I've been saying this for two years. J. Cole is now Savion Glover. I don't know if y'all understand how much he looks exactly like Savion Glover.

More sides of Kite. No. I'm being serious, though. Like, y'all don't see it? They look exactly alike. Exactly alike. Like, it's scary, though. Because they both started out looking, you know, with haircuts and clean cut.

And now they just, like, they took a trip somewhere, man. And then Najee Ramba. Yeah. I dig it though. I fuck with Cole so hey. I'm just I'm just saying he looks like Savion Glover now.

Well thank you Maul. You're welcome. For that Maulism. Thank you. Yeah he put a crown on his head and he's got all the little druggy kids underneath his cape. Well he had a crown on he's here to save them all the little druggy kids underneath his cape.

He's here to save them. These niggas in trouble. What if they don't want to be saved? Hey, talk that shit. They don't want to be saved. Those kids definitely don't want to be saved. They are not listening to this album at all. At all. Here's a 420 question that I had

for you guys because 420 is coming tomorrow. The Weed Man versus the club promoter. Who gets the hose? It's a different type of chick though. It's a different type of chick.

No matter. Which game do you choose? The Weed Man or the promoter game? The Weed Man No matter. The Weed Man. Which game do you choose? The Weed Man or the Promoter game? The Weed Man. Nah, I'm... Yeah, the Weed Man. He's getting the chicks. It's more intimate, too. Either in his car or in his crib.

Talk about life. He's in your crib. Wait, wait, wait. All right, slow down. They're getting deep on life. The Promoter usually gets used just for the couple hours he has at the table at the club. And then Shorty leaves and then goes, Call us the Weed Man and say I need some weed. He's texting the Weed Man from the club. And then Shorty leaves and then goes, call the weed man

and said, I need some weed. He's texting the weed man from the club. I think y'all got the promoter fucked up a little bit. The promoter kind of died. It's a lot of corny promoters, though.

All right, that was a lot of corny weed men. Dudes. Not really. Oh, wait. The weed dudes ought to be pretty cool. If I show y'all

who Marissa used to cop from. You got to be somewhat cool to sell weed. Hey, Marty's weed dude wasn't the somewhat cool to sell weed. Hey, Mahdi's weed dude wasn't the coolest. Neither is Rock. Well,

we'll leave it alone. But, all right, who has a higher quality of women that they get? Uh-huh,

the promoter guy. Come on. You're just trying to change the argument so you win with the promoter. No. I don't have a horse in the race.

I just don't see how y'all just, I thought that was a tough question. I don't see how y'all just... I thought that was a tough question. Nah. I don't see how y'all... It's not a lot of... We're all in the clubs now.

Well, the club promoter role is dead now. So niggas ain't getting pussy from being a club promoter now. So if the promoter ain't getting pussy from being in a club, where you getting it from? I think a better argument is the photographer versus the weed guy. Photographer's doing really well. That's an argument. Photographer's doing really well. Yes, the photographer's been cleaning up

for the past five or six years. Sleeper though, the DJ has a port where she can charge her phone and she'll be standing next to him. That's true. That's a sleeper move with the DJ. She feels like she's controlling

the music a little bit. Yeah, exactly. It's a cooler place to Insta story from too when you're behind the DJ. Right. Yeah. DJ's a sleeper as well. She can pretend to DJ a little bit.

Yeah. I told them to play God's Plan. Word. But nah, I'm not going to the club for water. They might be last now. Yeah, they're last. Photographer might be one.

Listen, B. They have them naked in the woods. Doing all types of crazy shit. They're doing really well. Did you guys hear this clip that was going around of the Remy Martin response to Nicki Minaj? Other bitches

take my dick. Remy? Nah. I'ma shoot the bitch. Put my gun on my hip. Shoot young Nick then run and shoot some other bitches. Take my dick and shove it up her ass. Hey, at least she's being direct.

That's not real. She's being direct. No, it's not real. No, I was hoping. I wasn't sure. Wait. Remy. No.

I'ma shoot the bitch Put my gun on my hip Shoot young Nick and run And shoot some other bitches Take my dick and shove it up I'ma shoot young Nick And then go and shoot Some other bitches That was great shoot young Nick, and then go and shoot some other bitch ass.

Yeah, Maul's great. All right, very pressing issues that we have to get to. I can't bring up the, normally when I want to take one of the homies to court, we pull up the People's Court theme music, but this time we're taking white people to court as a whole. So Parks and Rory have to take... It took you this long? Parks and Rory have to take the stand and defend themselves and their white brethren

against some of the things that have been occurring. So let me hit my white people theme music real quick. Yeah, definitely do. All right. This is the white people theme music real quick. Yeah, definitely do. All right. Yes. This is the white people theme music? Yes. Oh, my God.

Yeah. We got some real important shit to figure out with you guys. Not us guys. Yes. I don't identify as white, so that's not... Well, I do, so come on. You do identify as white. I do.

I don't think I have a choice when I go out in the sun. Well, hold on. This is my part. There were times I lost a green light. Come on. Yo, why is Tony Danza sliding into home? You know what's fucked up about Who's the Boss? Who's the Boss was on for 39 seasons,

and it wasn't until the last season that angela finally let tony hit slow walking talk about slow walking all right let's see white people what they do now all right let's get the starbucks one out the way listen this is very important i'm i I for one was excited finally finally we can boycott some shit that I hated anyway that's an easy one too many times y'all made me quit things

that I really didn't want to quit Sabrina Claudio, football Uber fucking Kevin Spacey but now but uber yeah right fucking kevin spacey but now netflix kinda i wasn't i was never leaving netflix sorry monique um but now finally starbucks guess what i hated starbucks. Starbucks, I'm a Dunkin' Donuts guy. Same. I get along with the Dunkin' Donuts white people. You're so blue-collar, Joe.

Yeah, the niggas that's getting up, getting out the mud. Them Starbucks niggas, nah, nah, nah, nah. You don't like the people that go there and say, hey, this is my office now? Eh, they don't trust it. They don't trust it because at least on the Starbucks on River Road, all of those Starbucks where the white people are sitting there

with their laptops up, it don't look like I could go sit there with my laptop. Me and Fab went and sat one time with our laptops up. Cops might have came one time and we famous a little bit.

So I'm really happy that Starbucks is out of here. D-Ray is involved now. Yeah. All right involved now. Yeah. Yeah, we got all our fucking black activist people involved. We're going to give them niggas a check. Russell Simmons is involved. I don't know how involved Russell would be.

Wait, they letting Russell be involved with anything? Russ trying to get his stripes back up. It's Russ, man. It's Russ. Chill. Before we have to get an edit point. I was just saying, he's involved. Moving on. Who else is involved?

All right, no. We're leaving it. What do y'all have to say about the way white people are acting over Starbucks? I don't like white people. Oh, there you go. You like Starbucks? No. He doesn't like Starbucks.

Well, those two things may go hand in hand. You like Tim Hortons? I don't even know what that is. That's in Canada. That's London Starbucks. I mean, Canada Starbucks. You have it here now, though. That's Drake Starbucks.

Do they really? Yeah, more know where all the Canadian shit is in New York. No, they do. That was like a big deal when Tim Hortons came. Tim Hortons is all right. Because it was only in Canada. So when they came to New York, it was a big deal. What are we talking about Tim Hortons?

Tim Hortons is all right. I don't know Tim. Defend your Starbucks shit and stop telling we talking about Tim Hortons? Tim Hortons, all right. I don't know Tim. Defend your Starbucks, and stop telling me about fucking Tim Hortons. You really think I'm going to defend what they did at Starbucks?

No. Okay. I'm going to Starbucks tomorrow, man. Wow. Wow. With Sabrina playing in the headphones. I'm not paying more than mine.

Let's see. Wait, there's more stuff to take white people. That is wild, though. Because you can do anything in Starbucks. Oh, my God. Wait, Heinz?

Wait. What did Heinz do? Ketchup is racist? It's my favorite ketchup. They're putting out ketchup and mayo now combined. But they're saying it's from like Kentucky or something. Come on white people. Come on. Come on Roy. Mayo and ketchup combined?

Yeah. What you mean? Man, black people doing that shit forever. I don't know. We was in Egypt doing that shit. Now here come white people want to say it's from Kentucky. Although I sound like

it might just be like Thousand Island or something. It's Russian dressing. Isn't that what it's called? Oh, that's what it is? I think so. I want y'all to defend the fuckery and y'all just keep talking.

I don't like white people. What do you think I'm going to say? Fuck white people. They're right. They should have kicked those black kids out and arrested them what do you want me to say here taylor swift all right we can get this the whole white section yes listen white people have been doing egregious shit all week all week now taylor swift is redoing earth wind and fire september and she's making it sound all extra Elvis-y. Listen, man. To all the people

in my mentions Mad unseasoned. And on YouTube that have called me an N-word lover, a white apologist, how can I not be one when Taylor Swift

is remaking Earth, Wind & Fire songs? Right. How can I not be a white apologist? I have to apologize for this. I do not want to hear that song. I will not hear that song.

I have not heard it. I've just seen that it exists. But why is that? Taylor Swift has to get away from Earth, Wind & Fire's catalog. She can just get away, period, really. Why is she doing this? Why is she doing anything? Why is she?

I agree. I'm asking. I'm asking you. I don't know. Well, white people have been stealing black people's music for quite some time, and it works for them. So I'm sure that blueprint has been in the label. I'm sure that's not a new thing in 2018.

Speaking of labels, I was really bored, so I looked up Def Jam's roster. After you looked up what Def Jam's sign was? Did y'all look up Def Jam's roster? No, I did not. I haven't. Want me to tell you? Yes, please enlighten me. Oh, man, it's bad.

A lot of white people? Logic's got to be their best artist outside of Kanye, right? Yeah, they got 2 Chainz, Davies. They got you, Slaughterhouse. They do not have me or Slaughterhouse. Oh, okay.

Wait, and lastly with white people, Tammy Rivera and Waka Flocka allegedly are going through issues because some little college white girl

came in between their happy home. Oh, no. Yeah. That's sad news. What's wrong with Waka, man? What's wrong with white girls? Waka?

What do you mean? What's wrong with him? Wait, he cheated? I mean, allegedly. Oh. We don't know, but there's a video. We don't know. There's a video.

We're not sure if that was him. There's a video of a guy screaming Brick Squad. Who was six foot six with Waka's name tatted on him. Hold on, video of a guy screaming Brick Squad. With 6'6". With Walker's name tatted on him. Hold on, let me chill. I gotta go to Atlanta. With dreads. Relax. But we don't know if it's him. I don't know. We didn't see his face. I'm more so concerned

with why this white girl came in between their family. Parks and Rory. Nothing to say. Listen, man. White girls have gone after rappers for some time. You're bringing up a whole bunch of shit that's been going on for generations and generations. There you have it, folks. We're finally put on trial after centuries of this behavior. All it took was Waka and Taylor Swift.

That was it? You had enough, Joe? That's what you draw the line to say? I liked Taylor. Earth, Wind & Fire was it for Joe. There you have it. There you have it. The white people segment.

Y'all didn't even hear the Taylor Swift September, right? No. No. I saw it pop up on my timeline and kept scrolling. No, hold up. I don't want to hear this. I told you that. Hold up.

Listen. What is this for? If they take down the podcast because of this they're they're right i'm not even mad at them what is she i don't understand why she would all right fine i won't play thank you but man is bad i'm sure it's really it's really good stiff yeah all right let's see what else is really important out here. Oh, Beychella. Beychella. I'm shook. Yo, y'all laughing.

I don't know if Rory is serious or he's joking. No, he's serious. No, I've been behind. He's shook. I had to check on Rory. I hate all them Ducey Palooza niggas i do why joe you was just pussy popping on the charts with cardi and i can't like a beyonce performance like get the fuck out of here when was i wasn't pussy popping on the look at the beginning of last episode that song was not on the charts that's her intro

and it's not about pussy popping it's about about shooting niggas. There. Now. You don't read the Ducey Palooza niggas tweets like when some Beyonce shit is going on, right? No, I just saw Rory's. That was it. What did you think of Rory's? Honestly. I asked him if he was okay, sis. Yeah, why y'all do that?

Why y'all get so into it for men? For two tweets? A lot of tweets. But all of y'all were tweeting together. Because it was on live, Joe. That's what happens. It's not like we all sat and was like, yo, let's all watch it at this time. We recorded it. But you definitely did.

But why would they... Do you think that the men tweets should be different? Men should be able to Like, I want men. Men should be able to fan out for Beyonce. Sure. But in a manly way. I said Beyonce is the GOAT. You should kill that shit.

I said Beyonce is the GOAT. What did y'all think of all the Beyonce, Michael Jackson shit? Y'all already know how I feel. I'm not even doing that. I don't like that. I'm never doing that. I don't want to ever do that, too. Do what?

Compare. Compare them two as performers. Well, for the podcast sake, let's do it. Nah. Why not? It's a conversation to be had. You don't think it's even remotely close to even be brought up? I will say this.

I don't think Michael Jackson is the greatest performer. Y'all know how I feel about that. Who do you think is? Prince. Okay. James Brown is the greatest performer, I think. I think Paul is raw performer. James Brown just went up performer, I think. I think Paul is a raw performer. James Brown just went up and did his thing.

Didn't need all the whole thing. James Brown is up there for me. I don't think that's a wrong answer either. But, okay, when we say performer, like, all right, James Brown had the biggest and baddest production out there, and he himself was doing mad amazing shit for hours and hours. Yeah, so and a lot of Beyonce

show pulls from James Brown, pulls from Tina Turner, pulls from all that. But we've had this talk here. I don't think any of them is performing anywhere near Prince with the exception of James Brown, of course. I'm not talking about him. But Michael Jackson? I think Prince's musicianship kind of takes him

above everyone because of the amount of instruments he's playing while he's doing it. Prince performed for three hours in high heels, did splits, danced on pianos, played guitar, drum, piano, all types of solos. You weren't seeing a better performer than that. I'm not talking about

Hills too. She does splits. She danced on pianos she doesn't play any instruments but she can sing good then i guess that's the end of your little i guess that's the end of your little but but the thing is i it's all it's all it's all in the time and generational too because beyonce can do so many different things visually that wasn't available for a lot of these artists so that makes for a better and bigger show. I mean, she's at the top.

She is in the conversation as the greatest ever, though. I will say that. 100%. She's definitely right there in that conversation. But Michael Jackson, people died when they went and saw Michael Jackson. People legitimately faded. Again, because of the time. That was the only time they would see.

People see these artists all the time. And you didn't see him. That was the only time you would see. Yeah. People see these artists all the time. You kind of have an inside glimpse of these people's lives on a daily basis. It was Central Air back then. Yeah, that's what I mean. Overheating. Exhaustion. That's some other shit white people get away with that we can't get away with. Exhaustion.

I'm exhausted, too. Yeah, white people get exhausted. Black people have nervous breakdowns. Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with white people get exhausted black people have nervous breakdowns what the fuck is wrong with white people exhausted speaking of which

Mariah Carey was checked into the hospital because she thought Michael Jackson Whitney Houston and somebody else was going to come visit her Prince was coming

over for dinner huh her team checked her into the hospital because she thought those three people were coming to dinner that night to see her

maybe they were who was her wee man what's she doing 420 into the hospital because she thought those three people were coming to dinner that night to see her. Maybe they were. Who was her weed, man? What's she doing for 20? Right. I was about to say something that was important. I don't remember now. Kendrick's winning awards?

Oh, no. Oh, shit. Nah, that's crazy. Hit the round of... That was major. Let me hit the round of applause Did y'all watch anything else From Coachella?

I watched Cardi Cardi killed it I saw some Migos Saw some Cardi Black was really good Black was good His DJ was yelling a lot though Yeah

It was weird Cause like That's not really yell music That Coachella crowd is trash Of course. Everybody's high and drunk. And they don't even be knowing what artist is up there. Yeah, they don't have no idea what's going on.

They don't know the words. They didn't know what was going on when Beyonce was up there. They're there for Instagram. They're not there for the music. I'm really not trolling or starting. Did anyone see Em's? I heard some good things about Eminem's performance. I didn't see it.

No, I didn't see that. Did they broadcast it? No. Oh, they didn't? His was the only one they didn't broadcast. I didn't see that. Did they broadcast it? No. Oh, they didn't? His was the only one they didn't broadcast. I'm not sure why. That seems silly. I think he might be going out soon.

That's the only reason I could think of that he wouldn't want his tour broadcast or set. Now, is this new that they're doing Coachella again next weekend? No, I think they've been doing that for a while. Okay. Two weekends, yeah. That's nuts. I read SZA's post that she was a little

disappointed in all the things that went wrong during her performance last week, so she's going to fuck shit up this week, and I love SZA, so I'm excited about that.

Oh, wait, the same artists are doing next week, too? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought it was different lineups. No, same lineup.

Oh, that's weird. So maybe they do M's this week. Those poor Palm Spring residents. I don't know. That's weird. Well, SZA, shit, they're about to go out. TDE announced that they're doing a whole, I think it's called, championship tour of all the members of TDE.

Oh, that's dope. I'll be there. Yeah, they had some cool promo. I'll go to that tour. School boy Q playing golf. SZA that's dope. I'll be there. Yeah, they had some cool promo. I'll go to that tour. School boy Q playing golf. SZA in the woods. I laughed. I was very impressed by Cardi, though.

She could actually rap and perform. Pregnant. Pregnant. No small feat. Right. And the energy didn't stop. I thought maybe she'd get a little exhausted, as white people do, towards the end. But nah, she kept that shit up.

I thought the strippers coming down on the set was awesome. I thought that whole shit was cool. Her breath control and everything was right. Her tone was good.

All that shit. I was impressed. They released a lineup today for, what is it, the Broccoli Fest? What is it in DC? They announced that already.

Broccoli Fest. That's been sold out. So you might be thinking of something else. I just saw the lineup today. That lineup has been out yeah and they've been sold out oh shit get out of here but it is a good lineup yeah uh let me try to find it uh broccoli fest is i know cardi was on there here we go migos miguel cardi daniel caesar

her nipsey hustle rich the kid uh the Kid, Light Show, Grits and Biscuits, Hood Celebrity, Special Guest. Yo, that Rich the Kid record is going to be a big record. Which one is that? The Dead Friends record? I thought that was an Uzi song. No. That's Rich the Kid. I heard his album, but I remember a particular song.

Yeah, that record is going to be big. People say good things about his album, though. Yeah, it was decent. It's not really, you know. It's not your style. Yeah, exactly. But it was good. You know what I'm saying?

For what it was. I stole some mischief, but I get it. I can get a check of it. All right. So let's get back to Kendrick, because that was really, really, really, really, really big. I see people saying he's the first rapper to win it. Let's stop that right there.

He's the first pop act nigga. Damn it. Let's not box him in as a rapper. Don't try to nigga this one out. Nah. Pop act. First pop act slash rapper, god damn it.

I hate when they do that. Wait, whiz me a round of applause. All I could think of was Nas saying that he was a Pulitzer Prize winner in Hate Me Now and how like back then that was so unfathomable you would never think that a rapper

would get a Pulitzer Prize and here we are for Damn so now my question is is Damn Kendrick's best album? no no but I think with this

but you could make a case for it. When you get that award... Especially when you win it. It's his most... I guess it's his most well-balanced... I'll agree there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely his most well-balanced.

It's commercial appeal, but still... Keeps his old fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, definitely his best body of work if you were to introduce somebody to Kendrick. Do we take anything from the weird Kanye tweets outside of Kanye is putting music out soon, which we call here a few months ago.

I mean, well, it's not really calling. Everybody knows that Kanye was probably putting out music. So I think everything, it was only a report that he was in Wyoming every other week. Yeah. I think every time he tweets or something weird,

why is he? Well, why? Somebody explain it to me. I think every time he gets in a studio and has his manic episode while he makes his album, he now has a keyboard with Wi-Fi

and those thoughts get put out. I think a lot of artists would have done this had there been Twitter. I think Pac's Twitter would have been looked at as fucking nuts.

Pac's Twitter would have been hard. And he would. Pac's Twitter would have been hard. And he would have wrote in caps. Oh, absolutely. Pac would definitely tweet like Offset. There would be no lowercase letters in Pac tweeting.

Drake replaced his own number one with another number one. I just thought that was the swaggiest shit ever. That is pretty awesome and amazing. Shout out to Drake. Well, he did say

he's time to watch Night 2. Oh, I thought he was talking about some chick that she was... Never mind. So his album... I forgot that bar, I guess.

So his album that's due out in July, is it? I think that's what they say. Or was it June? No, June, June. It was the end of June, right?

Scorpio. So that album is... Scorpion, Scorpion. I think it's what they say. Or was it June? No, June, June. It was the end of June, right? Scorpio. So that album is... Scorpion, Scorpion. I think it's Scorpion. That album is eligible for a gold certification now. They got to change that rule. Because of God. That is the worst rule I've ever heard in my life.

That rule is super trash. We got to see stats about going gold and platinum before the album's even completed. Blame Jay-Z? All right. Now, I got to ask you guys going gold and platinum before the album's even completed. Blame Jay-Z? All right, now, I got to ask you guys, really you, Maul, but Rory, too. What do you guys think of this album title? Come on, give it to me. I like Mortal Kombat like the other guy. He can use the emoji.

I thought maybe that was it. Listen, because he's so calculated and so it means something yeah we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna figure it out right now I'm just lost

I don't know what the time is Maul that means Maul already knows I don't know anything Maul tell us Maul named it Maul's on the album I don't know anything

tell us what Scorpion means I have no idea what Scorpion means alright what do you think he means by naming his album Scorpion I don't know honestly that's a really bad way to ask the same question I have no idea what Scorpion means. All right, what do you think he means by naming his album Scorpion?

I don't know. Honestly. That's a really bad way to ask the same question. I have no idea. Maybe you couldn't interview Nicky. Scorpion is a really sassy. It is. It is.

Uh-oh. The Scorpion is coming. Scorpion is coming. You know what's funny? The album will come out. It's going to be fire. Scorpion is going You know what's funny When the album come out It's gonna be fire Scorpion gonna be Your favorite record First of all

Word Alright I hate when my friends Leave me out on the island To laugh and pop it With people by myself So let's do this First of all

Let me Let me qualify here I'm gonna love Scorpion I am gonna love This Scorpion album Yep And if there's a track On there called Scorpion And god damn it Guess what I'm going to love Scorpion. I am going to love this Scorpion album. Yep. And if there's a track on there called Scorpion, and God damn it, guess what?

I'm going to love that too. However, until we hear these things, I have no choice but to guess why the title is Scorpion. You have to whisper it. You have to whisper it. You have to say it like that. Listen, I said in the group chat. You never really hear Scorpion coming, so it's kind of like, it's got some sting. Oh, Maul, are you trying to-

It's got some sting. Don't try to make it wavy. No, you have to- Scorpion being wavy. We don't have much to work with right now. We got to try to make the thing work. Scorpion is flea? Wait, and then- Wait, and then I saw the fucking Drake fans.

Oh, man. And hey, we're all Drake fans here. They're going to fill your comments with Scorpion emojis. I saw the super Drake fans try to guess it. Well, they pulled up everything a scorpion does. You know, a scorpion never lets you know when he's coming and the amount of venom that he spews. I was like, all right, all right, guys.

Let's just wait and cop it. Well, I was in the group chat when Nice For What came out, and I heard it. I said, that's a really sassy title to a song, Nice For What. And then it made sense once I heard the record. So I think I'm going to roll with Mo. Might make sense. Oh, it's definitely going to make sense.

Right now, it's definitely going to make sense. Like, we just can't. Right now, it's just like a picture with Drake with a silk satin, like, varsity jacket on with his back to the camera. Listen, Joe's going to be the same way. He said, Barb's where we at? He's going to say, Scorpions, we're back. Oh, yeah. Scorps. You know what's funny, bud?

But I fuck with Drake. I fuck with Nicki. I've said all of this stuff before.

Call Cherry to Spotify. Call Cherry, formerly of Apple, now to Spotify. This is another one of those things where a few months ago, I was really banging my head over why Tuma left Spotify. And I've yet to find out. And then Spotify went public, right? And we didn't hear anything else aside from they went public.

And now Call Cherry is going to spotify allegedly i tried to text him to get some inside information he ate that shit so i don't have any for you but and we're still not on spotify no no spotify for a while just seemed like they wouldn't spend spend the necessary money to do what they had to do. I'm watching all of these streamer places in the content hubs. So, and let's talk about some of this nerd shit briefly that the listeners might not understand. So, call Cherry to Spotify. That's a chess move. Paul Cherry to Spotify.

That's a chess move. I still got Jimmy Iovine and Larry Jackson leaving Apple. What else is happening in the streaming world? Everyday Struggle is on break. I put that in there too because that's streaming in one of those content hubs. LeBron is suing at... Who's LeBron suing? Undisputed.

Well, for you to be our sports guy, you know shit about sports. Undisputed. Nick Saban. Oh. Nick Saban, Alabama. Kobe is into this, into the sport streaming. I'm just watching all the content, people.

What are y'all... Did y'all watch Peter Rosenberg's late night show? I didn't get a chance to. I do want watching all the content, people. What do y'all, did y'all watch Peter Rosenberg's late night show? I didn't get a chance to. I do want to check it out, though. Sorry, Parks. Sorry, buddy. Mo, you didn't see it. Nobody.

Parks, you didn't see it. I did not see it. Okay, so Peter Rosenberg has a, and shout out to Peter Rosenberg, he has a show called Open Late on Complex. It's a late night show.

A-Rab is his quest love. Oh, is he? Yes. That's pretty cool. I hate A-Rab is his quest love. Oh, is he? Yes. That's pretty cool. I hate A-Rab. I know, but I just don't think that's pretty cool. A-Rab is his quest love. I love you, A-Rab. ASAP Rocky was the first guest. There was also an expert panel.

I saw Deani on there. Don't do that. No, I wasn't suggesting she wasn't... There was more experts. That's the only one I remember that I saw. Yeah, I don't remember the other experts either. I just knew the one that was my friend. Deani was there, and that was that.

I like Pete, so I want to root for Pete, but I can't root for Complex, so it makes this difficult. You can root for Complex. You can root for Pete and still watch one show on Complex. No, I'm not watching that show on Complex. Watch it from a private window. No.

When Everyday Struggle was rocking, that was one of the ideas I gave Complex. The late night show. So Complex, I feel like they whitewashed the idea and just put Peter Rosenberg there and add insult to injury I have to see fucking A-Raps sitting next to him

chest moves as they act out as they act out this stolen idea so it's difficult for me to support Peter in the stolen

idea thing well you don't know the back story with that I don't I don't so we'll leave it alone and just know the backstory with that. I don't. I don't. So, we'll leave it alone and just hit the round of applause. Oops, that was loud. And just hit the round

of applause button. Here we go. I don't know why y'all think everything I say is so funny. No, it's just hitting the round of applause button. When you don't really wish applause. I'm not trying to applaud that shit, nigga. No, I'm not applauding it. It's like a LOL.

Savon, can you pull up Sabrina Claudio's new apology? She apologized again. Just for Maul. Dear Maul. Thank you for the continued support. You're the only one left. And the rest of you motherfuckers. You got it.

All right. I have here the revised Sabrina Claudio apology. Let's hear it. It says, and I quote, everyone, that's all of us, I am, everyone. That's all of us. I am truly overwhelmed. These past few days for me have been incredibly hard to deal with. All right.

See, this is more believable already when you use words like incredibly. I'm rolling with you so far, Sabrina. She goes on to say, i'm sorry for not saying something sooner i'm sorry for the short straight to the point apology i posted on twitter yeah good yeah you should apologize for that i didn't know what to do or say. Sorry guys. I didn't know what to do or say. But after a few days to take this all in I need to tell you what I truly feel.

Thank you. I've made many mistakes in my life. Many that have happened when I was young, lost, or did not know who I was as an individual. Ones that have no excuse. I don't know what that means. Time doesn't matter whether it was six years ago or two minutes ago. It was still wrong. The words I use then are not who I was and they are not who I am today.

More. Yes. Yes. You guys, I made ignorant comments that i regret but to make this clear i never had an account dedicated to taking down women it breaks my heart knowing that this rumor has been created and it's being spread out. Discrimination in any form, no matter who it's directed to, is not acceptable. You're reading that shit like a villain, man.

I've grown as a woman. My heart, my mind, my emotions, my body, my everything. My music is dedicated to empowering women, empowering all people for that matter. It's what I represent. It's what I am proud of most. I am so different than what I am being painted out to be. But it's my fault, y'all,

that you all feel the way that you do. I am willing to prove to you who I really am. are who I really am. Words from Sabrina Claudio. Apology for the apology. Now, how do we feel about the remix apology? Remix apology.

I want to know who wrote that. Puff. Puff. Puff. No, I'm joking. Not Puff. But this does sound like a bit more thought was put into it. Here's to Yvonne, since you're dying to get your phone back. Jesus.

Oh, it's Erickson, of course. How do you guys feel about the apology? About the apology. The sequel was better. It was, right? They had a better PR person to get on the horn. You accepted the first one. No, I was just saying

she was young, man. You can't. Come on, man. Teenagers. She's got to lay low and make music. It'll blow over. People want to

the Starbucks thing now. That's what happens with all these things. I'm going to keep it all the way a buck. It's a lot of, yo, when your name is caught up

in the scandalous story, boy, you be super hype when the next story breaks. Yo, Tristan Thompson saved a lot of you niggas, man.

Fab got the fit off when the Tristan news broke. I don't know if you beeped. Don't say, I don't know if you peeped broke I don't know if you peeped don't say I don't know if you peeped I don't know if you peeped I peeped I wasn't going to say I peeped you think she should take a day off

and train all of her employees about race sensitivity what the fuck is Starbucks that was their solution to racism that's insane. No lattes for a day. We're shutting it down. I hope they let the media sit in on that course.

I'd love to hear the questions. The 28th that they're closing. That's just a day off for all employees. They're not going to no class to be taught about how to deal with people and their race and race and color and creed. Everybody has a day off May 29th that works for Starbucks. Period. Don't come into work. I just want to know, one, who they're bringing in.

What questions will be asked? What scenarios will happen? They're just going to do the floors over and the layout. They're going to change things overnight. It's like when Shorty goes to DR to get surgery and just comes back. You're going to come back to Starbucks, going to look new. Starbucks deleted all their Instagram photos. You're going to see some pictures of proud black actors and actresses.

They're definitely going to paint some black people on the walls. Of course. That's a thousand percent. We know that. Oh, wait. Didn't they ship some black people over to work at the Philly store? Yeah. Oh, boo.

Come on, white people. You know how that's going to go. Someone should have flipped that sample. That would have been a hard beat. Yeah, come on, A-Rab. Get away from Peter Rosenberg. Stop making a fucking beat. Then I wouldn't have to retire.

Oh, that's why he retired? Come on, Heat Makers. Oh, wait a minute. Speaking of Heat Makers, wait a minute. Speaking of Heatmakers, wait a minute. Wait a fucking minute. Wait a minute. Time out. Y'all talk for a second.

I think I know where you're going with this, and I can't believe it. Wait one minute. I feel like a horrible New Yorker not even having this on my list. What the hell is going on in the world with the Heatmakers? Some good things Fam Wait a second Since their return

With the Once Upon a Time shit They ain't missed yet Even with IG snippets That's my shit Fam Have you heard Jim Jones' album? That was tough Has anybody heard Jim Jones' album? That was tough Has anybody heard Jim Jones' album?

See, I'm from uptown What? What? Jim makes good albums He does He's underrated He's very underrated in that Wait, hold on

Because I want to hear what y'all have to say But wait Only so dust and powder Fuck a bitch use a fork crib Just to shower We just in Diddy Crib And I party with Puff for hours. Put to the light, came up.

Did that too, Jim. Put to the block, hit a drop, tear a dice, game up. Still shed a tear when I bring light name up. Light up this. That shit is hard. His album's tough. Jim album got me feeling like. That's the real Heat Makers one.

Never did three quarters. Oh, no. No. Heat Makers smoked that shit. No. No, no, no. It's mad heat on the Jim album. This whole shit is a lot of heat on the Jim album.

So let me turn this down for a minute because y'all are right. I think that Jim Jones makes good albums. For sure. I don't think he has a bad album. Hustler's Poem is one of my favorite albums sure I don't think he has a bad album Hustlers Poem is one of my favorite albums I don't think he has a bad album I think there's one Jim album That was just And I don't remember which one it was

But outside of that one Jim makes real good albums Yeah one album He went Miami crazy Yeah yeah it was a lot There was a lot going on Every record was about Miami I think I might have been settled

Pray For Rain was dope. Yeah. Man. Hustler's Poem was the one that I did. And the Harlem Diary of a Summer shit was hard, too.

If He Makers is doing shit like this, though. Hey. Let me just say while this gym shit is playing, boy, am I New York bias. Hey, when certain niggas come out, oh, all my New York bias shows. Hey, got to bring that one back. Wish God had a line in heaven to call stack. All right, let me give y'all my Jim Jones hot take.

Jim Jones makes great albums, one. Two, Jim Jones makes great singles. Jim Jones can make a record. Jim Jones, I feel like, is one of the more underrated underappreciated rappers of our time especially if you have seen the evolution of jim jones yeah um i'm talking about uh from when he was hype manning uh back then so if you just have watched so my hot take is i feel like if j Jones he just mentioned Stack Bundles right there who I feel like was destined to take over in this climate Stack was the New York rapper that was

molded to take over this climate very unfortunate that he was taken on so soon rest in peace to Stack Bundles and Chinks I didn't bring this up to be mushy. I say this to say if Jim Jones had a live Stack Bundles and Max B, his career goes a lot different. And he's in a very different place now, today, if Stack doesn't pass and if Max never goes away. New York is a lot different. Because then I have to assume that him and french who they've pieced it up but i would assume they piece it up sooner

and let me tell you that max and stack were now you're right oh yeah max sonically max was what this shit is now so like that Everything now is Max B to me. So while I'm listening to this album, I couldn't stop thinking about that. I couldn't stop saying, God damn, if Max B was home on this type of shit. Listen, and to that point, Jim Jones is underrated for his foresight.

From fashion to rappers directing their own music videos, engineering their own sessions. For rappers, the blood shit in New York. He has been the first person to do a lot of shit that is now the norm. They were on the liquor shit early with the scissor. That's after the hypnotic wave. Yeah, yeah. i don't know if you have not heard the jim jones album i say all of that going to cotch uh being an executive jimmy was one of the first yeah it's true he was at anr before a lot of rappers became atlantic anrs jimmy did a lot

of shit first that he don't get credit for even loving hip-hop yeah he's even loving hip-hop shit monica stole that from him they both stole it from me but that's my story that he don't get credit for. Even Lovin' Hip Hop. Yeah, he is. Even Lovin' Hip Hop. Shit, Mona kind of stole that from him. They both stole it from me, but that's my story. You actually might have a case there. Everybody roll with you on that.

I'm a little sick of Jim Jones running around these interviews talking about, even though I know why he says it, because I know that story. I know the story of how Mona Has he talked about it

in interviews? Yeah, I've heard it in a lot of interviews. But I heard that story before about how, if you haven't, go Google it, Jim Jones' version of the Love & Hip Hop story. So I understand why he feels that way. But all to be said, he's been a pioneer for quite some time.

And that led me to think, I just don't understand why the young niggas diss all the old niggas. I'd be real happy to watch old niggas tweet and make music and tour and all of this. Boy, it just teaches me how to get old

in music. Right. I think a lot of that comes from the younger dudes feeling like the older dudes like try not to

mix and blend with them too much. Let me tell you something. Before Hov dissed me on Pump It Up, when Pump It Up was out and it was rocking i bumped into him in def jam he tapped me pulled me inside he said you're rocking right now all of that's great it's not about uh who catches one it's about who stays i never thought

about it like that get the fuck out of here nigga i'm positive but what i say that to say like i just i don't know I don't know. I don't know. Maybe you're right. Maybe it is a young people pride thing. But this morning, Stiles was tweeting about whatever he was tweeting about. He was flying somewhere. And he was tweeting about he wasn't in his normal first class spot.

He was in some other spot. It's a little rough back. The bone seat don't recline. I felt him. I felt him as an old nigga that travels. I want to see how all the old niggas age. Wait, there was something. The bone seat don't recline. I felt him. I felt him as an old nigga that travels. Right. Like, I want to see how all the old niggas age. Wait, there was something.

I'm sorry. It's just going to the airplane seat from how rappers age with music. It was. Well, listen. The young rappers should stop doing that. My life expectancy on a rapper's career today is two to three years now. Oh, yeah. You might be being generous there.

I would say so. So, I mean... Three years, you don't see a lot of catch with three years. That's a milestone, three years. Right.

Damn, I had something... Shit, two albums that matter is a milestone now. I had something else after that Jim shit that was real important I wanted to get to, but I don't remember now.

Oh, I have a... Oh, wait, we didn't do our halftime. We gotta do it. It's been a while since we read some 40-ounce van tweets to you guys. Has anyone's aura

kind of felt off? Y'all felt a little down? You know what I mean? You guys need some good vibes and energy your way. Here we are to deliver it with our 40-ounce van tweets. Rory, take it away. My intentions will always be pure. I don't have time to be a whack person. That's true.

Who does? Who the fuck got time to be whack, my. That's true. Who does? Who the fuck got time to be whack, my nigga? Not me. Telling the truth is very different from talking shit.

Too many people don't realize that. Nah, word. Nah. That's dead ass. Those are two different things. That's dead ass. You can be in a relationship

and work on yourself at the same time. Wait. No excuses. I see what you did right there. Before you said that, I was about to make an excuse. No excuses.

Yeah, ball. Yeah, no excuses. Yeah, Mo. No excuses. Mo is celebrating 420 right now. I'm a little mad about it on the low. No excuses. I get it, okay. We're going to end with a real one. Hit that one song.

Effort is attractive, period. Yo, I'm attracted to people when they show effort. And when they use periods. I understand what 40 is saying. Okay. And that was our 40-ounce van segment. I feel better already. The energy is better already.

I feel grand. Good vibe in here now. I feel grand. Okay, let's see. BB Kings is closing for good. I vibe in here now. I feel grand. Okay, let's see. BB King's is closing for good. I'm sad about that. All my New York shit. That's disheartening.

We had a lot of classic shows. Oh, we fucking tore it down. That last one. You tore it down? We tore it down. The last two were fucking great. We've had really good shows at BB King's, man. It's a good venue.

Why is BB Gang's closing? The rent's too damn high. They're on 42nd Street. You're next to Applebee's that sells their $10 apps for $45. I can see it. That's going to be the new Starbucks rollout with their race relations.

Good question. Applebee's, Fridays, or Chili's? Applebee's. Applebee's on 440 specifically that's where i made my ransom video that wasn't the reason that i was saying that that wasn't in my mind when i said that chilies applebee's or fridays death i never was a chilies guy i felt like that was some white people shit Chili's, Applebee's, or Friday's? Death. I never was a Chili's guy. I felt like that was some white people shit.

Friday's is probably. Is Chili's still open? Cracker Barrel too. I just never felt comfortable getting breakfast from Cracker Barrel. I don't even know where to find one of those. Start going south on 95. This is where the crackers are. Start going south on 95.

You'll see a whole bunch of them motherfuckers. All right, let's see what else is really important. Vince Staples versus R. Kelly. More Tanaji jokes. I don't know if that was a verse. Okay, here we go. Here we go. I have a few verses.

Blank versus blanks to get into. Sheldon Williams versus Candace Parker. Now, before I start this, I want to say that this one confirmed something I knew for a long time. So now let me give you guys the back story. They are in the middle of a divorce that they have settled. And Sheldon Williams has won spousal support from Candace Parker. The article went on to say that while Sheldon Williams

has made over $12 million in his career, she has made more. So he wins $400, dollars from candace parker lump sum or per month or something lump sum per month i don't know how much now this just proves that the court system just never works in the male favor during divorces it also proves four hundred thousand dollars it also proves something rory that I've known for many years but could never quite confirm. Sheldon Williams has been a bum-ass nigga for a long time.

$200,000 is all I need. I hate Sheldon Williams. Do y'all know Sheldon Williams is one of the reasons I hate Duke? Didn't he go to Duke? Yeah, he was really good at Duke. Oh, did y'all knock it the fuck off? Sheldon Williams was trash at Duke, but because Duke is Duke, they made

us think that Sheldon Williams was coming to do something. Well, that happens all the time. No, only with Duke. Only with niggas on Duke. You didn't think Sean May was going to be the next one? No! Shit, right. No, and one time when I randomly tweeted, yo, what's up with Sean May?

He tweeted back. So I'm not going to say anything bad about Sean May. That's all it takes. No, hey, don't get it fucked up. UNC had a few of those, too. I never thought Marvin Williams was coming to destroy the league. He's still in the league, though. Is he destroying it?

He's still in the league. Is he destroying it? Is he destroying it? He's still in it. He's still playing. It's a lot of dope college players that still in it. He's still playing. It's a lot of dope college players that don't last. All right, Coach.

He's still there. I was just trying to make jokes. Oh, and now Greg Popovich's wife just passed away. That's crazy. So I think he's definitely retiring at the end of the season. Wait, what? His wife just passed? Yeah.

Was she sick? I don't know. They just said she passed away today. Maybe that's why his mood has been so candid and whatever at the press conferences. He's putting everything in perspective, knowing what he was dealing with probably. Because he definitely been like, you know, Popovich is usually like, why am I doing this stupid shit? But now it's really like, what is this? What are we talking about?

It's basketball. Let me tell you something. If my wife died during the playoffs, the playoffs is over. Yeah, I mean, yeah, rightfully so. Come on, let's go home, finish getting swept up. That's all I can go home and do what I got to do. Absolutely. All right, since we're on basketball, let's stay here for a second.

Eric Bledsoe doesn't know who Roger is. He absolutely does. He said that in an interview. He said, who the fuck is that? So Eric Bledsoe, I want to take this time to let you know who Terry Ro... What's his name, Terry Rogier? Who Terry Rogier is.

Terry Rogier is the guy that sent your ankles at least 19 feet away from him while you were defending him. That's who Rogier is. Come on, let me finish with this. Rogier is the guy who sent your entire body to the sunken place. I didn't even think the move was so spectacular.

That nigga just gave up. You don't get to say you don't know who that person is anymore. Sorry. When they bust your ass, you can't pull that card. He is getting killed. But that's not even the funniest part about people getting killed. Because I go to bed early, so I ain't really been watching all the playoffs.

The other night I went to sleep on the Portland game, right? And I woke up at 3 in the morning and grabbed my phone. And I saw a flurry of tweets from Billion Bus, somebody I followed. Used to do some artwork for me. Shout out to Billion Bus. I woke up at three in the morning with a sleepy eyes to a bunch of tweets killing Damian Lillard. And they read like it said Damian Lillard is Travis Best with a SoundCloud link. They read, like, it said Damian Lillard is Travis Best with a SoundCloud link.

Yeah. CJ Watson with an Apple Watch. You read all that? Oh, man. Why didn't you kill? I totally forgot about Travis Best until I saw these tweets. Yeah. He's getting cooked like that?

Yeah. Last night. Definitely last night. Yeah. Travis Best with a like that? Yeah. Last night. Definitely last night. Yeah. Travis Best with a SoundCloud link is crazy. He called that nigga mad shit. Wait, wait. There's some more. Oh, Ebro versus Queens flip.

I don't know if we want to get into that yet. Did y'all see that? I saw the clip. Oh, staying with basketball. This is not a versus thing. Actually, let me pull this song up. I want to start recognizing women. Good job, Joe.

Especially in this very turbulent climate that we're in, where men are just extremely disrespectful. And totally outside of that, I don't think that women are credited enough for the job that they do in support of men behind every strong man is an even stronger woman right true so i have this award i want to give out it's called the make me better award and the very first recipient to this award. I don't mean to interrupt you, Joe. We're doing a segment

to champion women with a fab song. I wanted him to play it. I wanted it to play. I wasn't trying to be funny. The song is called Make Me Better. Right. So I was just doing. All right, I'll cut to play. I wasn't trying to be funny. Play it. The song is called Make Me Better. Right. So I was just doing.

All right, I'll cut it off. No, go ahead. No, no, I'm cutting it off. But the very first recipient of the Make Me Better Award is Bria Mowles. Jesus. You're always so stupid, man. I swear, man. What's wrong with you, man? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Tell me I'm lying Am I lying?

Am I lying? Anyone that has seen Victor Oladipo On the Thunder And Victor Oladipo On the Pacers. Man. They better get Brie Award, man.

Come on. Don't make me be the only one laughing because I'm going to get in trouble with my relationship. Y'all have to laugh too. I laughed. I'm laughing at the severity of how you pitched this. Y'all don't think Brea... I thought you was going somewhere totally different.

I thought like Jamel Hill was up. Yeah. I thought you was going somewhere totally different. So did I. Have y'all seen the Pacers series? Yes. Oladipo is looking like Jordan. Yeah.

He's balling. Why do we think it is? Shut up. Black ass Brea. No, it's not. Yes, I'm telling you. No, it's... I'm telling you.

No, you're not telling me. All right, so what else could it be? He's playing well because he put in a lot of work. Shit. He didn't put a lot of work in. No, he put a lot of work in. No, no, he did not. No.

He put a whole lot of work in. No. He didn't put work in last year? Yeah, he played well last year. He did. All right, so I'm not doing this with you, Maul. He's in a different situation. No, I know.

That's what I'm saying. He doesn't have a ball-dominant superstar on the team. He is the guy on the team. Next to Russell Westbrook, you're never going to be the guy next to Russ. Do y'all think that Brea Mounds is deserving of the very first Make Me Better award for making Victor Oladipo better. No.

Well, whatever. But that's your pick. Go ahead. Cool. Well, who do you think the award should go to? I think Victor Cruz is doing good out here.

Oh, my God. I see more. Because of Carucci. I see where we're going. I think Carucci's making Victor Cruz a little better in these streets. Vic still ain't signed

he was at Coachella having a bowl but he's still not signed but he's having fun but wait a minute real quick before I forget he's been like

eight memes Coachella is now on the list of things that's gonna let you know that's gonna let ladies know where they fall in the rapper's life if you don't go to Coachella

I ain't seen none of the bartenders at Coachella. All of them bitches that be with the rappers, I ain't seen them at Coachella. No. I saw girlfriends and wives.

Wow. Security a little tighter at Coachella. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, Ma. Can't make this true. Save it for summer jam. Oh, my God.

Save it for summer jam. Wait, time out. Did y'all see the Summer Jam line No it's out I got I got a little brain It's usually a big deal On the top of it

I didn't even I didn't even know it was out yet Me either Good thing They usually announce the shit Boy is that one trash Kendrick is headlining That's amazing

Lil Wayne is there That's great too Lil Wayne is there. That's great too, but not really because we've seen Wayne a million times at Summer Jam. Whatever. But cool. I'm happy to see Wayne. Swizz Beatz and Friends. I mean, I'm not mad at that.

I like Swizz and Friends. Tory Lanez. My favorite one on there. I'm still there. I'm not mad at that. A$AP Ferg. I'm still there. Remy Ma.

I'm still there. Rich Da Ma. I'm still there. Rich Da Kid. Bobby Njaba. Megan Wright and friends. A Boogie. Hood Celebrity. The end. Now, y'all not gonna say it because y'all pussy, but boy that is trash.

I was a little shocked for the 25th year. That this was the lineup. That's what really threw me off was that for the 25th year that this was the lineup. That's what really threw me off was that it was the 25th year. This is indeed a trash lineup, and not by my standards. I'm talking about by festival standards. Well. Some of the other lineups.

I think Swiss Beats is going to make up. His set is going to be crazy. Yeah, for sure. I think a lot of artists are going to have fun. With Wayne, of course, with Nicki doing everything, Nicki will be on stage with him. Drake doing everything, I think Drake will be on stage. I think that'll be the Young Money reunion. Kendrick, Kendrick's Kendrick, so that'll be great.

So I think with those first three, you'll get some good surprises. Remy, she did some great things two years ago or last year, whenever it was, when she brought out everybody. So Remy takes her set seriously. I just remember when every act that they put out was of the same magnitude. You know what I mean? Right. That's because now the game is different, though. There's a lot of microwave acts that are just hot right now.

And you have to understand, to your point of all the other festivals, all the other festivals aren't based off radio plays. This is based off radio spins. That's the people they're catering to. No, it isn't. Come on. Every summer jam lineup, for the most part, is directly to a radio consumer. So why did they have Wu-Tang there last year?

Wu-Tang is a statement that you can take. Of course, but it's not radio play. Yo, how much inspiration do we think Kendrick Lamar drew from Lupe Fiasco? Lupe Fiasco inspired a lot of the middle. No, no, no, but we got to really think about that. Like, Lupe did the whole martial arts thing. I don't see Kendrick chop suey in anywhere. He ran around calling himself Kung Fu Kenny for almost. I still didn't see him fucking break a brick

with his hand. I didn't see a sword. I'm saying sword. I refreshed my Instagram and Lupe out there with the samurai. Yeah, you got the whole outfit on, nigga.

Yeah, but I'm just saying it's a lot of... It's a lot of similarities there. I think being able to be lyrical and make friendly music is a Lupe thing. So, yeah. So yeah,

I mean, in that instance, but I don't know how much sound. Lupe was really good for two albums at making radio records and rapping his fucking ass off.

No, actually, when you say sound, I'm rolling even more of a ball statement because Lupe had soulful, sounded like

ATL-ians, Outkast, Beats. I'm rolling. I just thought that was interesting. I thought about that, though. Well, Lupe said he was whack, so. Wait, Lupe said Kendrick was whack? You don't remember that thing on Twitter?

We talked about it on the podcast. Yeah. He didn't say he was whack. He didn't say he was whack. He didn't say he was whack. Hey, but let me say, you know what? He said his punchlines ain't there. On the Kendrick topic. On the Kendrick topic.

On the Kendrick topic. Time out. And we have to at least acknowledge this. Lupe is not the only top-tier MC to feel that way about Kendrick. I know a lot of rappity rap guys that... That feel like Kendrick is overrated. Right. Because he's not a punchline guy.

It never has been. Is that the only reason they say that? I think so. As far as wordplay and punchlines, he's not really punchline guy. Is that the only reason they say that? I think so. As far as wordplay and punchlines, he's not really a top-tier guy, but he makes amazing songs. And good rapping. It's great rapping.

It's top-tier songs. And top-tier albums. And his use of tones. This has always been my argument with Kendrick. He's the best ever at changing pitches and tones and using different textures with his voice no other mc has ever been able to do what he does as far as that's concerned you know it's funny that you said that parks because uh when i was thinking about this topic i was thinking about some of the top tier mcs that say kendrick is overrated. Now, I was trying to look at the sliders mentally.

And that's where Kendrick has the edge. He has everybody beat. And what he can do with his voice. He gets into character so amazingly. Yeah, it's different. It's him and Nikki, actually.

Yeah. That do that better than anybody else the voices and shit well that's him yo you know what on this Kendrick shit real quick T.D. East is starting to remind me of Puff

in that because every album that comes out over there is really good I don't know who to credit. J-Rock's albums are really good. Schoolboy, fucking... Absol. Absol, SZA, Sir, they're all good, just like every Bad Boy album was good.

The soundtrack was good. It's a brand you can trust. Yeah, yeah. That's really important. It brand. That's really important. It is. That is really important. Actually, that I thought about as the tagline for my company, a brand you can trust. Very simple and to the point because you can't trust any of these fuckity fucks out here.

Jordan Belfort said that too. That was funny. I'm not going to just let that fly on the radio. That was funny. Listen, man, I'm used to it on the podcast. Yo, I never hear Rory's funny jokes until I listen to the podcast back. Yeah, that's what I had to point out. Rory's a good undercover funny.

It's ad-lib jokes. You're a good ad-lib joker. I'm the Jeezy of the podcast. His jokes are like, I'm here all week. He says something like, I'm here all week. Don't worry about it. Yeah, that's true. Okay, Rory chimed in.

Rory chimed in on the group chat asking if anyone... I didn't chime in anywhere. You didn't chime in. You didn't know what I'm saying. I chimed into a group chat. Yeah, you chimed in on our group chat today to ask us if we heard the Freeway Funk Flex freestyle. No, Brandon did that.

Yeah, that was Brandon. I have Brandon saved as Rory. That's crazy. Oh, yeah, because Rory replied back mad late when everybody ignored Brandon. It was like, yo, I heard it, B. I felt bad. And we changed topics. Yeah, yeah.

I didn't want to feel bad. That nigga started replying about the new topic. Yeah, that was crazy. Because I'm a good friend. What did y'all think? More you heard it? Heard the what? Forget it, Mo.

I didn't hear what y'all were saying. Freeway freestyle flex. No, I didn't hear it. I love that pain in the ass came back. Did you? Yeah. You don't like pain in the ass? I loved it too

until my 25-year-old girlfriend was like, who the fuck? I loved it too Until my 25 year old Girlfriend Who the fuck Did like a talky And then I felt Really whack Trying to explain it Now you don't know Pain

Well Nah he was on the Like he was Like he was the guy Like you couldn't Really start the Whole album Unless he

Nah he was on All the whole albums And this shit He's watching DVD So they kind of Bring it back Like that nostalgic.

Like, yeah, you hear that part? That was in a J-O. Yeah, Sin looked at me like, my nigga, cut this nigga the fuck off. This four-foot fucking kid. I was into it. I was into the little thing. It just went a little too long.

And this is what I was afraid of, Rory. Once pain in the ass starts talking and doing his Hov skit And once it runs longer than 40 seconds You know what has to happen now? Hov has to come in You know what has to happen now Also

This was the first time I've ever watched him do that Except for on the streets is watching DVD. I think it's better to just hear him. Yeah, because Pain in the Ass looked like he had a Walkman on him. Pain in the Ass looked like he'd been running around doing that same shit for the last 30 years. And I love Pain in the Ass. That's my guy.

But this is the problem with that Pain in the Ass shit. No, Rory, not Hov has to come on. Freeway has to then kill it. And he didn't kill it? I wouldn't say he didn't kill it, but he didn't freeway it. It was a more laid back flow. Well, that's where I disagree. I think he freewayed it.

And in freewaying it, he didn didn't kill it I think freeway has a very unique style he has one of the most unique yeah so he got so he got on that slow beat and he freewayed oh and freeway should not freeway should not have been on that soulful beat

somebody needs to do some do proper justice to that soulful beat at funk master flex no disrespect to freeway but that beat is just not catered for his style so it just didn't sound right but he sounded like freeway still yeah he needs up he needs to up he needs up like up 95 97 99 even freeway doesn't rely on those first two bars But that's where you get Like I'm locked in on Freeway now He needs that tempo

Like Yeah Cause his flow is Hustle to the sun come up Crack a 40 when the sun go down Like Because When he locks in

It's gotta be those first few lines That get you to pay attention Because now over this really slow beat I'm forced to listen to everything Freeway has to say And Then I get to hear him this really slow beat, I'm forced to listen to everything Freeway has to say. And then I get to hear him clearly say, the Benz is the color of mustard. You got to catch up or something like that.

It was like, all right, all right, I'm chill. But I was just happy to see him because of that kidney failure. Yeah, for sure. He was sick? Yeah.

Very sick. He was very, very, very, very, very sick with that kidney failure. And actually, that's what a lot of the Funk Flex freestyle was about. That's why I didn't judge him. I didn't judge it because he's sitting there saying, I beat kidney failure, man. I almost died. I'm here still. I'm glad he's well.

Yeah, and that's where I stood. I was just glad he was well. So shout out to Freeway. Glad to see he's doing well. People who are not doing well, Barbara Bush passed away, and the rest of it passed. Oh, yeah. We just lost this shit earlier.

Man, this is a great podcast. I forgot his name, but he was like from the 50s. Yeah. Savon, find a wrestler that passed, please. Is it Bruno? Bruno? Sam Martino? Sam Martino?

Sam Martino? Something like that. But he held the title for eight years. I don't think no other wrestler came close to that yet. But he was up in age, too, though. No, yeah, he was 87. Yeah, he was up in age too though He was 87 No yeah he was 87 Yeah he was up in age And Barbara Bush was 92

Yeah Yeah Sin started crying When the news said Barbara Bush died Like she knew her What? No she didn't Sin didn't start crying

No she wasn't crying But she The groove was off a little bit Like she was Sin wasn't How old was Sin When Barbara Bush was a girl? Sin was two

I'm just telling y'all How she felt Sin is emotional What's going on in the house man? What's going on? How old was Cyn? Cyn was two. I'm just telling y'all how she felt. Cyn is emotional. What's going on in the house, man? What's going on? I looked over like, yo, she lived a long life. 92? Fam. She was 92 in 92.

Yeah, that's what I thought. But she was 92 and wealthy the whole 92. I'm not. Sorry. She had a good life. Sorry. Recipes. Sorry, whole 92. I'm not. Sorry. She had a good life. Sorry. Recipes. Sorry, son.

Recipes. Yeah, I want to read her. A poem for us? No, no, no. I want to read a story that Sean posted. It's a story about. Who's Sean, first of all? Little Sean.

That Biggie little Sean? That's helping me. That he posted about Big. Like, this was. Oh, wait. The real little Sean, you mean? Yeah. Oh, okay.

Got it. He thought like his mans. I thought malls man Sean wrote something he wanted to read. Well, that is my man. You know Little Sean? Yeah. That's my man. That's pretty cool.

That's my OG. So look. Okay. So it's a story about Big that I just thought was interesting that I've never heard before. So he says, Brooklyn is a whole different animal. Not hard to explain, but not easily understood. Today, the most dangerous blocks are the most expensive places to live. Shit is different.

There's always been two elements. Guys like Biggie and his circle of friends and the gangsters. The gangsters ain't doing anything else but waking up every day and being just that, a gangster. Guys like Biggie, if they dabbed in the drug game at all, it wasn't with any hopes of meeting a connect and getting 10 or 20 bricks on the arm. They bought what is affectionate referred to as breakdown, an eight ball, a six deuce, a one-two-five. They'd be lucky to get to a point where they'd see half a joint. Example, went to see Poppy to cop me a brick. Asked for some consignment.

He wasn't trying to hit. Funny thing is, it was okay, though. Corner hustlers were content with their pace, and they didn't count anyone else's money that's who biggie was by now you've seen all the video where he was rapping on the street in bed style but i guarantee you somebody was still serving a customer a nickel or two biggie wasn't a shooter or killer he was a cool individual that had to have survival skills because of where he lived unrivera went out of town to get money. Catch like Azar was in the,

it was in that hood getting money. Once dudes realized that Biggie could rap, they encouraged him to do just that. In Brooklyn, people all respect Jay-Z for his accomplishment accomplishments, but when it came to big, they never felt like he wasn't one of them, regardless of what car he pulled up in or the jewelry he had on.

I promise you there will be a Biggie sighting throughout the style on any given day. He never stopped coming through and showing love. That carefree touch, the people attitude might be the reason for his demise, but that's who he was. Biggie would order food and ask everyone around him whether he knew you or not, is anybody hungry? He'd ask repeatedly because once he started eating, he never wanted to be disturbed. Funny thing is, to listen to him eat was one of the worst things I ever had to listen to. Put it this way, he really enjoyed his food. So that was a story about Big, about growing up in Brooklyn that I thought was interesting.

Just knowing somebody that knew Big and that side of Big is just interesting to hear them type of stories. So follow Little Sean, man. The Book Machine SP on Instagram. He said, Lil' C's never recovered from Biggie passing?

Yeah. That's interesting. That part is interesting. C's wouldn't be the first name I would think of when I would say Kim really had a hard time

What? Yeah for sure I'm saying just Career wise Sure they all had a hard time Yeah You know what I mean I feel like C's probably had

I think C's probably relied on Big A bit more than Kim did I don't know I don't do really well With sad moments Yeah Mad Mall even has a feeling this way No I just thought that was interesting

To hear that I thought it was a great story. Because you only hear things about them as rap, their careers. You know what I'm saying? Right. To hear that side is dope. No, I agree. That was dope.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, thanks, Maul. You're welcome. Do you have any other poems from your friends? No. All right. It's the only poem today. What are y'all plans for 420 actually?

Probably smoke weed Smoke weed every day The last two 420s I haven't smoked Purposely I did that Tell me more I don't know I just feel like it's cliche now It's cool so you don't want to be cool.

No, no, no. It's just cliche. It's like you see everybody posting about 420 that know absolutely nothing about what it even represents. Well, I'm with you in going against the grain. What does it represent? I don't even know what it represents. That's what more confuses me. No, it's not.

It's just that people. More of the weed smoker that don't smoke on 420. No, I'm saying The last two years I just didn't I just didn't But what did you do The last two years Cocaine

Shit Hell nah He not that real No that's being real Yes I'm cool with that Nah I just I don't know man

It's just cliche now Like 420 420 Everybody talking about It's just like Alright man That's corny to me Alright well What are you doing Friday Smoking weed It's cliche now. Like 424. Everybody talking about it. It's just like, all right, man. That's corny to me.

All right. Well, what are you doing Friday? Smoking weed. I think I'm going to go out of town Friday. I'm not sure yet. All right. Yeah. What y'all doing Friday?

I'm going out of town too. Rory, I want to smoke weed with you. I want to see you high. I don't think I've ever seen you, Rory, smoke weed. I've never seen you. I get really quiet and antisocial when I smoke. That's why I don't really do it around people. You got the wrong kind of weed. I don't want that super smoked weed.

When Kanye found out, he was like, where is he right now? Boy, I ought to. Get the fuck out of here. Kanye is a boy, I ought to guy. Definitely. Definitely. You're going to jump a 6'10 athlete? That nigga would have pounded Kanye into the ground,

to the sunken Eric Bledsoe place. But you think Rob got it, though? No. I think Rob and fucking Kanye would have been pounded into the fucking ground. I feel like somebody else has been mentioning fighting a lot. Who is this person?

Why am I thinking fighting and rappers? No, not me. I'm non-confrontational. I'm all about peace and love. Oh, Wiz is fighting now. Why is Wiz fighting? Wiz is fighting. He's the coolest one of the coolest.

No, no. What I mean, he's doing MMA training and shit. So on his Instagram, he keeps boxing with people. That's a weird way to just be high. Kicking his legs. I want to be high and kick box. I'm definitely not doing MMA high. Y'all didn't see

what I'm talking about? No. I did not. I'm dying to know what y'all look at during the week. I love what you look at. I love finding out about Wiz doing MMA for you. I don't want to find that out on my own. Okay, but what information do y'all find out on y'all? Pictures of girls.

Boobs. The government's making weather machines and i think that's why the i think that's why it's been winter for so long i think it has to do with the oil they're trying to raise the price way to go that's why it's cold you're right look it up that's why joe's farmer's almanac has been off yeah he needs the government nasa weather machine almanac. Here we go. Take a gander at that. How's your gander? MMA fights like Saget a little bit

from Street Fighter. I can see it. Because he's tall. I would picture what's the Indian dude's name that stretched his arms out real long? Dalslim.

Dalslim. Yeah. That's what I would picture. I mean, not to be funny, but he looks good. He looks like he knows what he's doing. Nooss Slim. Doss. Yeah. Yeah, him. That's what I picture. I mean, not to be funny, like. He looks good. I know what he's doing. No, no, he does.

I thought it was going to be some, like, he was going to be looking crazy. Nah, he looks good. Well, he's like six foot six, so all them tall people kicks, that shit work with him. And he look like he put on some weight. Okay. Yeah, he look a little thicker, Paul. Yeah, Paul, yeah. Would you fight him?

Is happening this weekend That I'm supposed to talk about That I just don't remember Cole's album 420 We did that We did that I think we've covered it all Is there anything We're forgetting to cover Look at my list 420. We did that. We did that. I think we've covered it all.

Is there anything we're forgetting to cover? Look at my list. Yeah, let's look at your list. I think we got everything, though. Oh, did we talk about the Catch Me Outside girl getting nominated for a Billboard Award? No, we didn't. Against Cardi and Nicki? No, we didn't.

Pretty good. We didn't. What's your people doing up there, man, at Atlantic? First of all, anybody who knows what's happening with the Billboard Awards is trash. I don't know who's nominated for a Billboard Award. But Wiz fighting. Yeah, that's important. That's important.

That is important. I don't need to know what's happening with the Billboard Awards If it was a Vibe Award We'd be tuned in That'd be a little different Oh and BT BT mailed you guys Some awards I'll believe it

When that shit Hit my door You ain't get them yet? No Joe What address Did you send it to? Yeah no one Asked me my address

And I know You don't know it Well Maul's Is gonna be at the trap At the bando. We sent it to your bando. My bando. It'll come.

Don't worry. It's coming this week. Okay, thanks. To your house? No, not to my house. Yo, what I want to say. Yo, before we get out of here, let me just ask you something. Yeah, because I'm definitely getting the fuck out of here.

And this is just a hyper. I was just in the realm of all of these female rappers that I put on music. I was just listening to old albums. Do y'all feel like Cardi's album is better than Amil's album? I haven't listened to Amil's album in a very long time. I would have to revisit. I remember Amil's album being good, kind of, a little bit.

But that's all I remember. I have to look at the track list. Amil's album being good, kind of, a little bit. But that's all I remember. I have to look at the track list. Amil's album was really good. It's kind of hard to compare to... Amil's album, I remember it being good. I don't understand Maul's disdain for Cardi. I don't have no disdain. What about Rod Diggins' album?

How did you even pull up, do you think Cardi's album compares to Amil? No, I was saying, do you think it's better as far as the lyrics, the production? I'm going to say yes anyway. Okay. I'm saying yeah, just because. What do you think? I don't think it was better production-wise. No.

Wait, who had better production? A mil. Well, she had the Rockefeller in-house team. I don't care who she had. I'm just saying she had better production. All is related to Rockefeller. No, but it wasn't that. She had just the sound of the album.

Well, Amil is no longer related to Rockefeller. He the only one. Wait, hold up with all this Cardi noise. Let me go pull out my Amil disc. I'm just comparing how it is now versus how it was 15 years ago, like with female MCs and the way they make music. I think Cardi's album is really good.

Emile is not even on my female MC list my nigga to be honest. She had a really good album though. Yeah but I'm not rolling. With some really crazy features.

But there's a lot of other female MC albums that would go before that. You know why? Oh yeah I mean we don't talk about Rhapsody's album half as much

as we talk about Cardi's album. That's true. But we did did We covered it We did when it was out That was my favorite album We talked about that album A lot

That was my favorite album Last year But I'm talking about When we start talking about Current female MC's We don't really talk About Rhapsody a lot She's in a different

Category I judge Rhapsody With the niggas Like yeah she's I judge the women with the women which is you shouldn't do yeah she's a woman but not really jean gray not really like there's certain chicks that can rap with the men like really compete and rap better than the men.

I don't want to sound sexist right now because I feel like that's how I'm sounding. You are a little bit, but I don't mean to. I know what you're saying. I know your, like I'm not comparing Cardi to Nas. Right,

right. And I'm not comparing Cardi to Rhapsody. I mean, it's, it's who writes her own shit. Who's like a true artist. It's also different. Like,

it's like comparing Nas to French Montana. You know what I'm saying? No disrespect to either of them. It's also different. It's like comparing French Montana. You know what I'm saying? No disrespect to either of them. It's just different types of hip-hop. It's completely different. Not completely different form of music, but it is. It's pop hip-hop versus not pop hip-hop. Yeah, they're playing two different games. But I am going to, just because you said that,

I am going to go pull up the Amil track list just to see what's going on. Did y'all hear the Rod Digger album, like the lost Rod Digger album that leaked last year? No, I meant to check it out. Joe, you had like two verses on it. And it was mad, just blazed beats.

It was good. I don't know if you're joking. Rod Digger was dope. I'm not joking at all. Rod Digger was dope. It was a good album. I can't believe they never put it out. The one that came out was dope. It's like all just beats. Fab features. It's good.

I forgot the name of it. I'll put the link on Twitter tomorrow when I find it in my bookmarks. Thanks, Roy. This has been a really weird podcast. You covered Emil and Rod Digg. I'm not really certain what the vibe is in here, but I'm with you, Erickson. I'm not really covered Amil and Rodnick I'm not really certain what the vibe is in here

but I'm with you Erickson I'm going home I don't know so Erickson hates this podcast by the way he's never been a fan I'm with him

I'm with him I don't know if I have a sleeper you have a sleeper I'm gonna find one but I mean play some old Jim album Jim shit is hard that album is really really Play some old Jim album Jim shit is hard

That album is really really good It is Bodega Bam shit is hard Somebody was telling me that There's a couple joints on there Yeah somebody was just telling me that And I hadn't listened to the song yesterday That uh

I mean not yesterday Last week when you brought up that new 50s record Yeah I wanna call 50 I was trying. And reach out to him. It was hard to explain to y'all without hearing it.

Like it's a different. You should have played the fucking record. It was a different type of 50. Yeah, you should have played that record. Let me get this aux real quick

because before we play Sleepers I was scrolling and I saw Yeah. I was scrolling and I saw... Yeah. promo hypness and views okay i hope that you knowin that if you voted you might as well and i voted for no one they knew when they made that category where that trophy was going all this industry shit is dumb there ain't no middle class rachel glass here's the classism either you were rich ass nigga or use a bum there ain't no in between sinless sell their souls angels sell

their halos and their wings i had dreams of fucking the r&b chick then i found out that r&b chick already had a dick already slept with your favorite rapper already sick he started as an artist and turned an alcoholic and quick this shit is i wish i would let a nerd work it in the scope in a coat by ken of coke insult me about my image bro i'm the best rapper out this bitch except the only catch is that I'm in this hole. Okay, what's the name of that song? That song's hard. That's off the Book of Ryan? That was a whole lot of sense. That was your sleeper?

No. No, that wasn't it. Can you call Royce and get the full record? So he can play it? That's the Royce I've been waiting for. I've been looking for that Royce. That was some shit. That Royce sounds angry.

I like when Royce is angry. You like when everybody's angry. Crooked seems angry right now and I'm not really feeling it. What Crooked did? I'm sick of him and his fucking loyalty Instagram posts that are directed at me.

He's dissing me every other week. And sooner or later i'm gonna address it sooner or later i am gonna address it i'm trying not to address it you're addressing no i'm not addressing it no i'm not i'm responding i'm not addressing it i have yet to address it i keep trying to shut the fuck up and he keep talking crook shut the fuck. I love you. Do not make me address this. You got us looking nuts. And my niggas just don't know what the word loyalty means. That's really my beef. My beef is not with Crook. My beef is with people that are throwing around the word loyalty. Without knowing what the word loyalty means. So in a future podcast, I will,

I will be forced to define it for you guys. We will save that for another time because we will have sleepers now. There. All right. Vibers. Vibers off. You're right. It's a weird podcast.

No, no, the vibe, the vibe is fine, but I'm great at throwing the vibe off. I love when the vibe is off. So I want my brother, who I love, to relax on fucking Instagram before I throw the vibe off.

There. Okay, well let me change the whole vibe. What was the caption on that Royce record? Was it like a coming soon? A date? Or go to iTunes now? Yeah, like download this immediately? No, it was none of that.

None of that. He just added a few names. But yeah. It looks crazy though. When is Book of Ryan dropping? 5-4, I believe. That's my birthday. Thanks, Royce.

Why would he drop at 5'9"? Strategic marketing. Strategic marketing there, Maul. I see what you did. I see what you did, buddy. No. Anyway. Sleepers.

You guys were really childish and immature then, but you guys are really having some adult conversations now. I'm in there. I'm in there reading. I only get to the three dots because I never sign in. Which means you're not signing into your email, so I can only imagine this. No, I'm not signing. Hell no. But I'm reading it up until the three dots.

How many unread emails you got, you think? In my email? Yeah. Probably about 500. 1,000? No, just 500. Oh, wow. I'm shocked.

Shout out to Rod Strickland, man. He's a big fan of ours. I ran into him at the game last week. I meant to say it last weekend. I said to say what's up to you guys. That was big for me that Rod Strickland knew who I was. That was crazy. That's pretty cool.

It's pretty cool. Oh, that's the tweet you made when you told him about me. Yeah, that was crazy. Who do you think should coach the Knicks before we leave? Mark Jackson. I don't understand Knicks fans that don't want Mark Jackson. Why would we want Mark Jackson? Why wouldn't you want Mark Jackson?

I got to. Because Joe wants to tank another season. He's waiting for the sophomore in high school. They're going to tank another season. Joe's part of the keep tanking movement. He wants the sophomore in high school. That's the title to be the next LeBron in 2027. He wants LeBron's kid.

Just take LeBron's kid. Everyone also said, why wouldn't y'all want Phil Jackson? That's a way different conversation. Well, I didn't know Phil was going to come here and do that bullshit and draft the point guard with asthma. I think LeBron Jackson would be great for you. Yeah, he was great for Golden State. Because he's actually going to care about winning in New York.

He's going to care about winning in New York. Oh, you sound like fucking Stephen Mall Smith. No, he is, though. That's true. He's going to care about winning in New York. He's going to care about winning in New York. You sound like fucking Stephen Ball Smith. No, he is, though. That's true. He's going to care about that. You like him better than Fizz? Yeah. Yeah.

I think he's more relatable. Fizz is my pick, and we will see where this goes. I like Fizz, but Mark Jackson had a winning franchise. The team he put together is still winning. Right. And beefed with the owners and beefed with the gay people. Everybody's going to care about the H's. Beefed with the gay people in San Francisco. They won, though.

He won't beef about the H's. They got him out of town. They won, though. No, actually, they couldn't beat the Clippers when he was there. They were still real young. Exactly. They were still real young. Very different team.

Yep, they were real young young Stephen A. Smith said that yep I'm out of here fuck them all I don't want to lose I don't want to lose I don't want to lose I think I'm about to lose

I'm about to lose a kid
