On tour, when we went on a podcast tour, a lot people that are listening at work, let's start this on tour. When we went on a podcast tour, a lot of the people listening from work complained about the gunshots. I have a heart. So Parks and I thought it would be a good idea to put like a silencer on the gun and then use that. But then when we got here, we tried it and Rory said we were pussy so if you're listening from work the gunshot sound is enhanced for this episode specifically because i feel we may need it to be enhanced so turn it down on three i will give you what it is so you're not alarmed

There. Don't be alarmed. Now, gentlemen. This is what y'all niggas be doing when I ain't here. Pretty much. What type of vampire gun was that, man? It wasn't a vampire gun, Maul. Sounds like you killed a vampire with that shit. It was a fully automatic weapon. Okay. Going off. Got it. You need a stake through the heart for a vampire gun, Maul. It sounded like you killed a vampire with that shit. It was a fully automatic weapon.

Okay. Going off. Got it. You need a stake through the heart for a vampire weapon? Yeah, what the fuck is Maul talking about? Did you ever see Lost Boys? I didn't say how to kill a vampire. But did you ever see Lost Boys?

Of course. Because I wouldn't respect none of your gangsta if you didn't see Lost Boys. Oh, so before we start, wait. So last week, Maul, a few things about you. People really like you so i was shocked to see that so many people had never seen you without a hat that was a little shocking to me that's one yeah and two so many people were inspired by your choir stories from last week that a lot of people hit me with questions and they wanted to know the exact moment

that you decided to get off of that path of singing. I mean, I just did that for the experience in high school with the Boyz II Men to travel the world. I never wanted to be a performer, a singer, entertainer, but it was dope being in high school. You know, you got to and and perform around the world is this like a where are they now piece

for the Harlem Boys Choir I was about to say somehow he managed to have an answer that I can't really joke on on this spot no that's what it was I never wanted to be like

and I'm not I didn't IGTV And I'm not, I didn't IGTV anything. I'm not, I'm not over that. What is that? I just saw one day, I opened my app and it was there. I didn't ask for that.

Well, we should talk about that. Okay. We should talk about that later. Um, we should talk about it because it's important to know what's going on in, in business. And we should talk about it because once the hoes figure out how to work that,

Ooh. and we should talk about it because once the hoes figure out how to work that. We're just going to have networks. They're going to add TV personality. Y'all thought that that little Cam Soda shit was popping. When these hoes get some IGTV rocking. Don't let them add tokens

to IGTV. If you could PayPal a chick through IGTV, it's over. Nah, now you can just text a chick some money now. Now you can put it right in the text inbox. Now it's like, yo, what's your number? That bread coming. That bread.

That bread. What time should I tune in to your IGTV? Wait, what's the corniest line you ever said to a chick? Come on, give it to me. Ever and later? Yeah, nigga, come on. I tune in to your IGTV? Wait, what's the corniest line you ever said to a chick? Come on, give it to me. Ever in life? Ever, yeah, nigga.

I would have to think. No, you don't think, nigga. I'm trying. All right, Park, come on, give it to me. I don't remember. I don't know. Or the corniest way

you ever approached, corniest way you ever got in the... Let me hear it. Come on. Come on, don't run from it. It's a freestyle. All right, well, let me... I'll come back to it. Yeah, we... I'll come back to it. I'm going to think of it, though. I may run from it. It's a freestyle. All right. Well, I'll come back to it.

Yeah, I'll come back to it. I'm going to think of it. I may have blocked it from my memory because it was so bad. Yeah, it was. It was definitely when I was younger. It was definitely when I was a lot younger. But I know. Yeah.

One time I had the whole wild lie going. Mom, like my mom's was in the hospital or some shit. Everybody put their moms in the hospital for a check before. I mean, yeah. Yeah, but. She got to own that. I had two lives going at the same time you shouldn't have going though. I think the car was in the shop and the mom or a family member was hospitalized.

Like, can't be both. Your car got to either be in the shop or a family member got to be in the hospital. I'm just telling you how I was thinking back then. Well, that's kind of a segue into what I wanted to bring up. Fuck that Drake shit and missing the date, but he said he had a family emergency, so I wanted to ask you guys the wildest lie you've told to get out of a date.

Because you always got to throw family. It's tough because they can't, you know, ask you about your family. Tiffany Haddish has to stop telling everything. I didn't care about that. Yeah, but she keeps telling everything. I'm not listening. I was just more concerned with the, yo, I had a family emergency. I didn't care about that. Yeah, but she keeps telling everything. I'm not listening. I was just more concerned with the, yo, I had a family emergency.

I can't come to our date. And that's the bad way to get out to date. Yeah. That's trash. It's a low shot. The family emergency. That's happened to me, though. You got to do studio.

When you be kind of, maybe you're a little drunk, or maybe you're just in the moment. You're like, yeah, let's go out on Thursday. And then Thursday roll around. Why would he not use studio? When you're a musician, you have the best out ever. Yeah, musicians and athletes have the best outs ever. Yeah, gym, studio. No one wants to go to those things.

Well, what's your biggest excuse to get a chick out your crib? Well, I know you tough, so you probably just say, bitch, get up. Is this how we're starting? Well, y'all went into it, so I figured we wouldn't go back to the lies. Let's just keep going. I've definitely told chicks on my way into my crib, yo, my mom's coming at like 7 a.m.

We got a big day planned. So you just got to be out. Then you get the chick that actually wants to stay in with the moms. Oh, no, she's out. We've got a big day planned. Black guys can't use that we have a big day planned on. We can't go with that. Did he just say we have a big day planned?

What is that going to do? They just love when you have a big day with your mom. Roy, what does that do? No black man has a big day planned with their is that going to do? I just love when you have a big day with your mom. Roy, what does that do? No black man has a big day planned with their mom. Ever. Ever in life. We never seen our moms. You guys should do it.

You don't ever have a big day. Big days with moms are great. A big day. Yo, you a loser for that. It works. You got to plan the lie the day before. You can't do it in the moment. No, that's true.

You always have to plan the lie out to get the mom. I took a picture of traffic one time and just hold it. My photos just be like, I'm in traffic. Look. Yeah, that's true. You always have to plan the lie out to get them out. I took a picture of traffic one time and just hold it. My photos are like, I'm in traffic, look. It's a whole different weather outside. Mo, you sent me this license plate ten times. Yo, I'm in traffic. You're always behind that one Honda, Mo.

Yeah, always. Hondas everywhere in the city, you know that. Every Uber's a Honda. Or a Toyota. Y'all need help So, whatever Did you guys see the BET Awards? I did see it I did

Yeah, I watched it last night I did tune in after a big day I watched it last night Oh, this is gonna be awesome then Wait, did you guys see some of the people that performed before? The pre-show? I don't think I caught the pre-show Pre-show?

Who was at the pre-show? I saw, what was that the pre-show. The pre-show? Who was at the pre-show? I saw, what was that shit they did? It was BTX or some shit like that. Her. Very bad. BTX. There was some shit they were doing

like the day before. Oh, I don't know. In LA. I just keep, Friday and Saturday, I just kept seeing Safaree and Amara La Negra hugging each other

and walking together. I was like, why is Safaree and Amara La Negra hugging and walking together? Like, yikes. Setting up for the new Love and Hip Hop storyline. It's too much energy.

Too much energy. It's too much energy? Safaree and Amara can't hug? Not and walk. Okay. Well, what are they supposed to do? Just chill. Hugging and walking

at the same time is crazy. Hugging and walking. Yeah, and I think... That's a talent. You gotta walk like a penguin if you hug and walk. All right,

so did y'all see some of the after? Nah, I cut it off. I saw Designer. All right, well, that's exactly

what I wanted to ask y'all about. So Designer did afterwards. Correct. I don't know when it was, but Designer was there. Was this like when they try to make the cool after party thing after awards shows? They were on a couch, like in a little stage. We invented being on couches.

Let me tell you something. Because I saw a designer perform at South By a few years ago. This is when Panda was peaking. And I saw him do Panda 30 times. a few years ago. This is when Panda was like, it was peaking. And I saw him do Panda 30 times and I saw it work 30 times. You was dabbing? I was not dabbing. Were you throwing the mic

I've never dabbed or done any of those cool dances. So this time when Designer came on and he was doing this song, it's a little different when your hit is not, like when you're past it's a little different when your hit is not, like when you're past the time now. Like when your hit is not the hit anymore.

It's not hitting. It is a totally different vibe. So the song he did, like fucked up for him, you can't just go out there and do your hit. You got to warm him up. He did a little set. He warmed him up. He did a set? He did a little set your hit. You got to warm them up. He did a little set. He warmed them up. He did a set?

He did a little set. Yes, he had to warm them up. And then cool them down. I don't know the name of the song. He had to bring them back down. I don't know the name of the song, but he was the only one jumping around and hype about it. Everyone else looked befuddled and confused. But that was cool.

It was really funny to see. Designer still has a lot of energy. But it's different when it's not when your record is not. You gotta do extra. That nigga looked like he took all of the pills. I'm lying. I didn't see this. What y'all talking about?

So support me in it still. Support me in it. Talk about the pills, man. What y'all talking about? Yeah, but so support me in it still. Support me in it. Talk about the pills, man. I was just thinking you were thinking, yo, I didn't see it. You go ahead with that one. I didn't watch that. Yo, get yourself in trouble. You never seen shit.

Yo, shout out to Desiigner. Salute. But anyway, so then finally, he looked so happy that fucking Panda Star coming on. But it's the Kanye version. It's the one on the kanye album so and your hit ain't the hit no more so now that whole long build-up and you just gotta stand there and look stupid it ain't really like he flipped the mic a couple times oh wait oh my god that's he threw the mic between his legs tossed it in in the air, caught it, and then slid backwards.

He did it mad times. I said, what's designer doing? Performing. Yeah, killing it. Is that what the kids got to do nowadays? To get a good cheer? When your hit is two years old, yeah. Nah, Pump It Up was 20 years old,

and I was still just walking and doing hand motions. You mean up into cartwheels or handstands? Still had your rapper hands? Yeah, when it was time to liven up the set, I might have gave them up in the club. That's a sorry ass set. Turn around to the DJ. That's a mess. It's dying out there.

No, no, no, wait, wait, don't do that. I don't care about that. Listen to that set, though. I don't care about that. Listen to that set. Pump it up, and then I'm going to go give them up in the club. We need more shots, nigga. Yo, you know how uncomfortable that got to be? Hold on. Hold on.

You don't know the DJ. Up in the club is a good record. No, no, don't do that. But it's just that you can't go from pumping up to up in the club. Yes, you can. At least give us, what's the other one? Club record. No, man. No, no. Don't do that. What is this that you can't go from Pump It Up to Up in the club? Yes, you can. At least give us, what's the other one? Clubbing. No.

No, man. Good record. You definitely listen to this in Cabo. Good record. Oh, man. Good record, but you can't go from Pump It Up to that. Tempos are definitely a stretch. Yeah.

And if Pump It Up isn't working I don't know if clubbing Is the What No What was the other one you had Clubbing The other one you had Rory you too my nigga

I'm just asking What's good Was that called fire Was that called fire Yes I don't really What else There's no other word

In the hook You my man Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up

Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait up Wait the hook You my man Wait up on your call, bro Yeah, it's one word, nigga

You don't do that You my man You got some nasty ass ankles Yo, Joey We'll call that one fire We'll call that one fire Wait That was definitely the name of the game

That's what the name of the thing. Yeah, that's what the producer said. Fire. Up in the club. Get out. Go home. This nigga was way too turnt up in his career, man. You ain't have nothing. Focus.

Yeah, focus. Oh, my God. Who is naming these records? Why? Yo, what's up with y'all? Ma, ma, ma. Fire. That's the name of it, though, right?

No, for real. I'm not even being, I'm serious. Okay, thank you. It was fire. That's the one. Yeah, that's up with y'all? Ma, ma, ma. Fire. That's the name of it, though, right? No, for real. I'm not even being, I'm serious. Okay, thank you. It was fire. That's the one. Yeah, that's the hard one. All right, man. Focus is the hard one.

I like focus. We were talking about the BET award. All right, my bad. My bad. And designer. My bad. See, y'all can make all these jokes, but guess what? What?

Pump It Up still rock. It do. Right? These niggas songs, that's kind of fucked up i would want my hit to last longer than a year or two years and that's damn who's we having that fight with we was having a conversation a while ago about why new artists shouldn't do shit like that like why designer maybe should have kept his song he definitely kept why some of the niggas uh maybe should have kept their shit from drake. We had that conversation years ago when that was heavy.

but this is why. Because now, I don't see that nigga pumping up no new design. And designer shit dropped recently. It wasn't even part of the little seven track theory.

Machiavelli. Right. It wasn't part of none of that rollback. And I think it was seven songs too, ironically. Oh, that's fucked up. Damn, so he set the tempo?

Maybe so. That's crazy. Maybe we got it twisted. Oh, man. He's swagger jacking my guy, Desiigner. But anyway, so Desiigner performed. What else? Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey Hussle smacked somebody. Powerfully. The valet guy. It was the valet? Yeah, the valet guy. I thought it was just a fan. No, it was the valet guy. He might be a fan, too. It was a nice temperature check slap. Yeah, you gotet guy. I thought it was just a fan. No, it was the valet guy. He might be a fan.

It was a nice temperature check slap. Yeah, you got to respect the slap. Well, I mean, he slapped the cone out of Nipsey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Security's hand. Nipsey was reacting. He took that as disrespect. It was a react.

He didn't run up and smack somebody. It wasn't a random smack. Smack is a good move. It's like, I don't want to fight, but something has to be done. Relax. It's like, yo, you're being disrespectful. It's like, relax. I'm glad to see the smack is still good move. It's like, I don't want to fight, but something has to be done. Relax. It's like, yo, you're being disrespectful. It's like, relax. I'm glad to see the smack is still a thing.

Yeah, it's still a thing. The smack is never not going to be a thing. Good point. Never. It's never going to go out of style. Do you think there'll be recourse? No. Maybe he's banned at all the valet spots all over the city.

Where are you going to park? I was going to say, that's a tough ban. That is a tough ban. Yeah. In LA, that's crazy. With a nice car? Damn. In lower London?

Yeah, that's crazy. All the valets got some money on Nipsey's head? You can't look for a parking spot and be with Lauren London. He just got to get the- You got a valet. No, he's got to have the driver now. He probably already has a driver too. Oh, for sure.

That's funny because Nipsey's the coolest cat. Yeah, he doesn't bother anybody. But it's just that when you see disrespect coming, and it's like, you ain't going to disrespect my man. We ain't going to be disrespectful. The slap is a cool move. Yeah, the slap lets you know

there's another level after this where it can get worse. This is like the introduction. Like, listen. No ambulance, no police. This is just, hey, this is what's going on. A little pow pow. We call it a pow pow. A little pow pow.

Sit down. Yeah, sit down and don't let it happen again. Or else it goes further. Or else this will go further. Yeah. It didn't seem to go further so I don't know

diffuse that shit was ceased and desist Nipsey was still on stage on time it didn't

interrupt his flow at all right his clothing was fine nothing ripped no blood nothing yeah rappers

when you're able to get into altercation and then still do the gig yeah on time too do the gig. Yeah. Yeah. On time, too.

Yeah, the gig should be interrupted. You should be tardy, something. I agree. What else did you guys take away from the awards? Anita Baker still looks great. She does. And why can Yolanda Adams still sing like that? How many tributes has she done now? All of the tributes.

Everyone. All of them. She's going to do her own tribute. has she done? All of the tributes. Everyone. All of them. She's going to do her own tribute. She should be tributed for the tributes. Yeah, she's going to tribute herself. She's going to sing it and turn around and get her own award. She's definitely been doing all. And then sit in the front row.

For 30 years, she's been doing tributes. Yeah. She bodies them. I don't even think she know all these people. She definitely knows Anita Baker, for sure. I don't know. She did well. Lettucey did well. I thought Marsha was great for it too

Yeah I was good with the picks this year Cause sometimes they be fucking up with Most times Who's ever Most times Oh let's throw this person Even though they have no range

Right No Yolanda Adams She always I mean She's Yolanda Adams We ain't gotta even talk about that That um That her performance was great.

Yeah, she brought out the guitar. She did what she had to do. She brought out young Caesar. Yeah. Young Danny. Yeah. Why'd you, young Caesar? Because that was, for me, when I was watching, that was a very pivotal moment because she was killing

it yeah yeah so so when you're killing it to stop killing it when everybody knows you're killing it and invite another singer on stage a dude whose range is not you know the same as hers that was important so it was like damn he could either really fuck this up or really take it somewhere then i remembered wait daniel caesar has performed on all those fucking late night shit so he's gotten his own run of being seasoned on this type of stage and sure enough he came on looking like a season How was he? I said, I'll write it down. How was he? I'll write it down.

For the people that didn't see it? Rory. I'm just asking. For the people that didn't, we're supposed to inform them. You know the song. What was the note? You know the song. All right,

I was just asking, man. You can play the song in your spare time. Good record. Yeah, so they bodied that. And the flip into Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo. Yeah, that shit was dope. Oh, that was good. Yeah, so they bodied that. And the flip into Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo.

Yeah, that shit was dope. Oh, that was good. Yeah, those two, I like what they're doing with R&B. I like it, too, because it's tough to stand firm in that sound and try to market it to the masses. Yeah, it is. And to look like a real musician and vocalist in that sound. try to market it uh to the masses yeah it is and to look like a real musician and vocalist in that sound which they are yeah they both are yeah she went up there and shredded that damn guitar she does she plays mad instruments and she's amazing but and for her to you know

uh i was i was tweeting at the time uh salute to rca for artist development. But the truth of the matter is, for her to have been around for so long, and maybe everything not go according to plan, and pop all of the years later, or seemingly about to really peak. It's just a testament to her fucking, just the type of willpower You need I guess As an artist Cause they threw her out there

What maybe seven years ago I don't know if it was BT Awards or VMAs They threw her out there At the Music Matters shit Dressed as Prince She was Gabby Wilson And they marked

This is the new Prince Yeah And it was like Dog she's like 15 Y'all need to relax Yeah I remember that Yeah

I think it was at the BT Awards I think it was too. She was on the BET on Music Matters. They just ran with the Prince thing. I look at you guys with the little Snapple facts. Word.

I remember it now that y'all said that. Yeah, I remember. So it is good to see that because she feels more comfortable in that space anyways. I don't think she wanted to be the out there girl

that they tried to make her be. Yeah. Which is why she rebranded herself the way she did. High on her identity. Because she didn't want people to automatically go back to when she was young Gabby. And the content she was talking about. She had a little jam as Gabby Wilson. Can I just say this podcast is so unpredictable.

I just never thought you two would really get into your deep dive expert and analyst bag over her. Y'all are really giving us the extended history breakdown. It's dope to see where she's going with her career. Go further. I think it's dope. I'm happy for her. She looked great. She sounded great.

I just hope that people continue to support her music. Because if not, people are going to say, oh say oh r&b is dead it's not dead hey we don't support the real speaking of ahem you you gotta stop now bro you still at it well i don't know so what you mean you gotta stop but now you can't do it you can't do it no more she's been on too many of them stages now you can't do it. You can't do it no more. She's been on too many of them stages now. You got to make your own shit now. And she's kind of stepping out of the shadows now. Yeah. Her face is out there now.

She did that specifically for you. She still got the sunglasses, but she did it just for him. She did it just for him? You know her ain't wanting anybody to see her so soon. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, him. You got to chill out.

Meek? Great performance. Yeah. I liked Sorry, him. You got to chill out. Meek? Great performance. Yeah. I liked it. Perfect. Good way to reveal a new... That's tough, revealing a new song as your performance. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Because I typically hate when people do that, but it worked. Yeah. You typically. I can't typically. You typically. Yo, this is what happens on the podcast. I can't even say the't typically. You typically. Yo, this is what happens on the podcast. I can't even say the word typically.

I just let you five minutes ago get off in that space. I ain't say a word. These are key. He doubled right back with typically. These are key music insider terms that you guys are just not up on. Exactly. In that space. I'm not typically in that space. I don't want to be in that space

no but I agree I agree you're right I'm making jokes but you're right it is tough to debut some shit speaking of debuting though and granted most of Meek's Instagram snippets are always hard

yeah that's true but these last few Instagram snippets are always hard. Yeah, that's true. But these last few Instagram snippets, something is different. Put me on the record. I'm on the record with something is different. It sounds better than normal. I'm sure he has his hunger back judging by all the things that have happened to him in the past month.

I mean, the past month Right I mean the past year rather He sound like A fire is lit Yeah I mean I would only expect it Expect it to be

He's been away for a while Yeah but he's scared Niggas talking about I ain't writing rhyme in there I mean He said that We know I didn't believe it

But he said that Yeah he was right I mean All you have to do in there Is write That's all the time you have right read work out i mean unfortunately because i wouldn't wait i wouldn't wish his situation on on on anyone with all of that uh recently came out that the judge is is is not

moving herself removing herself from the case like i just it's a messy case i wouldn't i wouldn't wish that on anybody but why does she have such a hard-on yeah i don't know i don't know it's a lot yeah it's a lot now yeah she's doing too much but you know sometimes people just gotta go through adverse shit for growth in other areas i like i like that meek is running around doing all of this shit he's doing. That's great. But for it to translate into the music, them snippets sound fire. Yeah. I'm anxious. I mean, but that's what Meek's music is about.

So it's kind of like a whole clean slate of that fire again because he went through everything he went through. Because there was that time when Meek with the Braids and then he had a lot of success and the content kind of, not switched, but it was a bit more fun. Sounded a little more successful. Yeah. Yeah, I hate when that happens. I hate when rappers become successful

and get their family out of the hood. No, no, and just rap about it. Yeah. I hate when they rap about it. So I think that, from a different angle now, is fueling Meek's music? Mad they didn't pan over to Meek or Safaree

during the Nicki performance, no? Listen, it crossed my mind. Oh, come on. Pan over. Yeah, why didn't they give us a pan? Well, Safaree was still walking, so I don't know if he saw it.

Callback to the joke. Never mind, forget it. Moving forward. But now that you say that, I wonder what... I mean, it's obviously purpose. Purposely done that they didn't pan Tamika Safari. That's purpose. If I was working over there, I'd say, pan Tamika, pan Tamika.

Well, why not, though? I just don't understand why they wouldn't. I would definitely have panned to someone. Someone was getting a pan. Someone was getting panned? Yes. Bad panning? I definitely would have panned Tamika Safari. All getting a pan. Someone was getting panned? Yes. Mad panning? I definitely would have panned to Miko.

All right, so cool. Let's not shit on the cameraman. Let's get to Nicki. Tell me about what y'all thought of Nicki's performance. Did it seem like she was ready to perform in front of two exes? Did she give us that vibe? I mean, she gave me a vibe that she was ready, but I honestly don't even think it probably registered to her like that.

Because until you said it, I didn't even really think about that until just now. Yeah, I'm so sick of them all. No, for real. Nicki Minaj knew that she was performing in front of two exes. No, but it didn't register like that to me, though, until you just said why they didn't pan to Mika Safari. And I'm like, damn, that's a good question. I didn't think about that at all watching that.

Meek or Safaree was not even in my thought. Listen, if it was Battle of the Exes that night, Meek won. Meek looked like he was ready to perform in front of his ex after he just got out of jail. He killed it. Yeah, he was definitely ready. I would have left that stage like, yeah, bitch. Told you. Oh, no, he did Summer Jam.

I was about to say, that was his first big performance since. Yeah, he did Summer Jam. He did Summer Jam. Summer Jam, he killed the two, though. His intro was crazy. Came out on a fucking four-wheeler. Yeah, but they shot the whole thing. Why is that so great to people?

No, I like the way they shot him coming into the arena on it. No, that looked amazing. I'm just saying, that whole thing thing that was dope to me and then that record you know that what that's going to do every time he performs that so and i'm not saying that to hate i'm just saying i lived through the rough rider era where it was like 70 of those yeah but that was impressive it kind of went away for a little while couldn't have couldn't beef with the rough riders back then but hey there't no beef on the right side. Oh, not at all. Well.

Actually, let me mute that because it was just a mad niggas with knives. What was we saying? Nicki's performance was the last thing we were on. What'd y'all think of the performance? I wasn't too impressed by it.

Oh, come on. I don't know if it was the song, but I think that is a song you can perform. It's a pretty upbeat record. I don't know. It just didn't feel... I've seen Nicki perform way better than that. Yo, people are interesting, man.

Why you say that? Just I'm into the psychology of people. Okay. So I was watching the Nicki Minaj. This is why I say it. Because I believe, or I think I believe, I don't know if I'm ready

to stand firm in this yet, but you asked me, so fuck it, here it is. I believe that a lot of the same shit that people, that people did that worked for them,

people are still doing. It's just not working for them. Yeah. Like case in point to Nicki Minaj. If you don't evolve. Yeah, what I'm just saying, like all of the, she looked great to me.

Sure. All of the funny noises and faces and voices and accents. I think all of that shit worked in her heyday. And so you go to it like your calling card. And now it's just not received that way. She looked real sexy. She was giving off all of that. And just today today for some reason

it's received differently that's how it felt i'm not a woman so i can't i can't speak to it but well i think it's i think it's it's uh it may be a little bit because i think people are looking for something new from her like you gave us sex sexy already we know you can rap. Now it's like, give us something else now. Don't give us... People are also looking for the quote old Nicki. So then when she does that, it just doesn't come off right because she has been going

in so many odd directions. When you pull back to what everyone's asking for, it just didn't feel... It felt forced. Yo, I ain't gonna lie. Once the hipster kids got a hold of that little line and held on to it, like the old somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over for that. Yeah.

It was over. You always want the old. Yeah. Always want the old. It's the old everybody. That's the hipster thing. It's to want the old. Name one person that they don't want the old of.

They want the old of everybody. That's what I'm saying. All right. I'm calling the old Joe button I think that's a good new one's pretty good yeah I'm cool no Joe but yeah I thought her performance was good what did you guys think when all her friends came out and joined her honestly that thought that I thought when her friends came out and joined her. Honestly, I thought when YG came out, it threw me off a little bit. Yo, I had a whole fight in my house about it, but I ain't gonna talk about it. That didn't look like YG.

Yeah, it threw me off. I was like, is this still part of Nicki's set? That was a new record, obviously. Listen, it's crunch time. It's favor-pulling time. It's favor pulling time. All the little favors I had in my back pocket. My album is coming out in August.

This is one of my bigger performances. Before then, I need all my friends. I'm sending that text. This is that favor. And Big Sean still raps better than a lot of niggas, man. I'm sorry. Listen, man. We have to applaud Sean. And I know the listeners are tired of this Kanye shit.

Sean and 2 Chainz Have been able To get out of this shit Scott free They look great Right They're able to put out An album this year Good

It's good to shut up sometimes I think Shutting the fuck up Is very underrated Is 2 Chainz Like that music For sure Affiliated

Oh okay He's still kinda there But where is he though Is he Def Jam Yeah he's Def Jam. Okay. Is he, though? Okay.

That explains it. Good, bro. No, I'm great. I'm good. I'm just shutting up. Okay. I don't have anything to add to that part. Okay.

Jamie Foxx, what was everyone's thoughts? Because I have mixed feelings on someone that I love and respect. I don't think he wrote a fucking thing. I don't think he rehearsed. I did ask Jamie Foxx. Just went up there and was like, alright, just give me the cue times on when I'm up. It felt like it. Swag to me.

It felt like it, but Jamie, he can do that. Oh yeah, he's fucking one of the best improv people ever. I enjoy it. I enjoy it. I think he should do it more. Did you guys like the skit? Which one? Which skit? What the fuck was it?

With Tiffany Haddish? Come on. Oh, you're trash and tackle. He did a skit, and it was bad. I forgot what it was, though. Oh. I don't remember him doing a bad skit. I don't know.

Forget I said anything. That was funny. You Cleveland A. Smith? You Stephen A. Smith's brother? Oh, no, no. Not that one. Forget I said anything. That was funny. You Cleveland A. Smith? You Stephen A. Smith's brother? Oh, no, no. Not that one. They pant like they shot it before. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I might have been Well, none of that's helpful. Whatever. Fuck it. I probably thought it was a commercial. I was trying to move on if you guys didn't notice.

All right. Well, that was your move on. You don't know the skit, Stavon. No, the skit. What was it? I think Jamie is perfect for that, though.

That's Jamie Foxx at his best. Hosting and improv. How you just going to tell a nigga what's his best? No, Jamie Foxx, like, he's, you could put him in that position anywhere. Whoa, Mo. Relax, buddy. You could put him in as a host. I'm not putting him in any positions.

All right, pause. Oh, it's not so fun, is it? Yeah. Yeah, it's not so fun, is it? Yeah. Yeah, it's uncomfortable, Mo. You could put him in any position. What type of freak are you? All right. Done with you.

Perv, man. Hey, get a habit. That's nasty. Get a hobby, buddy. All right. What were you saying about Jamie Foxx? No, I was saying he's great for that, though, for hosting. To me, that's Jamie Foxx? No, I was saying he's great for that, though, for hosting.

To me, that's Jamie Foxx's, one of his stronger points. His hosting. All right, thanks for that. Childish Gambino in those pajamas. But I like what Jamie said. When you're in a certain tax bracket, man, you can just show up like that, man, like with the slippers on. This is an outfit. This ain't pajamas. bracket, man. You could just show up like that, man, like with the slippers on. This is an outfit. This ain't pajamas.

Okay, good. So right now, I want to know how much money do I need to make for me to be able to wear some shit like that without y'all clowning me

when y'all see me? We still gotta clown you. Still gonna clown you. Come on. You gotta write Redbone. Yeah, you gotta be in Star Wars. Yeah. Great TV show.

So I can't give him fire? That won't... Nah, man. Fire is definitely jeans. Yo, hold on. Yeah. Great TV show. So I can't give them fire? That won't... Nah, dude. Fire is definitely jeans. Yo, hold on. Fire is definitely a champion hoodie, man. Ain't no fucking pajamas on fire.

True religions. Fire. If I give them fire, can I wear pajamas? No, nigga. Nothing about fire says pajamas. Nothing. At all. Cannot give them pajamas.

Well, they tried to address the... Well, no, I was going to say, they tried to address the Jamie Foxx versus Childish Gambino comparisons. Yeah. Which I think we've always championed him on here, but that's a fucking Chrysler pulling up to a Bentley to me. When you put them close.

Who's the Chrysler? Charles Gambino. And that's not a knock to him. I think he could maybe go. He's not there yet. He's not there yet. He's done some amazing things, but come on. I think y'all tripping.

Jamie has an Oscar. Until Charles Gambino does Ray, I don't know if you could. That's a whole different. He doesn't have that. He's got Star Wars, though. And he does Rey, I don't know if you could... He doesn't have that. He's got Star Wars, though. And he did This is America. He didn't get the symbolism. Jamie did Gold Digger. I didn't get the symbolism.

He didn't get the symbolism in This is America. You're right. My bad. My third eye. You weren't looking at the mirror. At the screen to watch this. But wait, I feel like we've said that on this podcast a bunch. And why is that a beef today? Like that they're in the same ballpark somewhere. No, it's not a beef.

No, they're in the same convo. Don't get me wrong here. But Jamie is still, you know, the bar. I don't know. Because he, Childish, he's not there yet. I argue with them parks. Don't let them niggas get you off your opinion. He wrote

Fucking hit TV shows Before Atlanta He did 30 Rock Like that was a major TV show I'm not taking away He was a writer On 30 Rock So

That's a major Fucking TV show No I think that's great But saying you wrote Saying you wrote the show Is different than being a writer On the show Rory let me help you

You can't When it's 30 Rock Say I can't take away Right You can't say I can't take away. Right. You can't say I can't take away 30 Rock. But to say he wrote 30 Rock is wrong. That's not what he said.

He said he was a writer on 30 Rock. No, I corrected him to say he was a writer on 30 Rock. Okay, well, the fact stands. Y'all are trying to take away from Childish. I'm not. No, we're welcoming a debate. Let's have a debate. Debate it. I don't think they're that far off.

That's all I'm saying. I just don't think Childish Gambino has a ray or has that type of any given Sunday performance. His comedy, Jamie, is better. His music, Childish is getting there to have really, really good music.

But during the Anita Baker tribute, Jamie showed that Jamie can go from comedy to dead serious singing in a heartbeat. Jamie is still. I think it's great that he was on, not Parks and Rec, the other show. And I think it's great he wrote on 30 Rock with a team full of 20 other people.

But Jamie Foxx show is still up there. Like, Jamie Foxx is the GOAT. Jamie Foxx show ain't fucking with Atlanta. Hmm? It's two different type of shows. I'm just talking about overall quality of their genre. Any of you radio personalities think you want smoke?

The Jamie Foxx show was underrated. Call me Mr. Chimney. That show was underrated. I want smoke. Atlanta is incredible. I think it's a great show. I want to see how many

more seasons it goes to see what it develops into. But the first two were great. Hey, I didn't know that we were going to vibe so well. I just want to let y'all know there's a million things that we got to talk about.

And we just keep talking about shit that's not on the docket at all and I'm cool with that yeah that's cool all right cool now what were we saying about Jamie Foxx's niece what happened his niece I don't know what y'all are talking about now what's on the docket so what's on the docket I don't know that you need to get to so bad you're so anxious about you're anxious bro you nervous you know Joe got he wrote some bars let's get to the shit hey yo listen fuck all this let's get to the shits man i'm hearing niggas talking greasy out here let's get to the shit talking real greasy on them r&b records it's a lot of slick

talk man niggas is drinking that wd-40 i want to know what's going on with niggas man well mo i don't know that we were i was going to get into that at this moment. Let's get into it. Rory came in trembling. Yeah, right. Albino matches that. Parks, am I lying? Albino nerves as well.

Didn't Rory come in? Come on. Let's get the jokes off. Let's get the non-truths off. The non-truths. I mean, if I can get them off. Let's get the jokes off. Let's get the non-truths off. The non-truths. I mean, if I can get them off. Let's get the lies going. All right.

True. Not lying yet? That's a fact. He came in quieter than normal. Maybe he was focused. Maybe he got to the gym early. More focused than normal, too. Look like playoff Rory.

Listen, man. Don't push me when I'm in podcast mode. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, look like playoff Rory. Playoff Rory. Yeah. What's the Irish version of a hoodie? Irish sweater.

Turtleneck Rory. Also underrated. Well, anyway, he came in playoff Rory ready, right? So I was like, what's up?

You ready to have, like, what's the vibe? How we feeling out there? We going to give him some smoke? And Rory said, not responding to none of that. Keep me out of that. Too real. If Playoff Rory got to get involved, it ain't going to be jokey joke time. And I was like, shit, damn.

Should I warn act? Right. So Rory let me know that's where he was at with it. Damn Should I warn act Right Right So Rory let me Let me know that's where He was at with it I didn't know how you was feeling But

Niggas came Niggas came for y'all man Listen man I don't know nothing So who came for me So I could You know get my shit on Yeah what did he say about Mo

I don't know Make something up Who Who act Yeah make something up What did he say about you bro He totally missed what we were saying, by the way He did

That also made me want to not even reply I was like, no, did you listen to the podcast? That's nothing about what we were talking about That's why I said what I said He made his own narrative out of that shit That's why I said what I said Wait, we're going to get into that But I don't want to get into it now

Because we got way more important shit to talk about Let's get to Tiana We can get back to Akinpete. But we are getting to Akinpete. Let's close with Akinpete. Akinpete is a very funny name. We're going to close with Akinpete tonight. Akinfuckingpete.

Tiana Taylor's album. Friend of the Show and Friend of Malls. Friend of the Show and Friend of Mall. Yes. And I'm a big fan of tion is i am i am i have no we're a friend of the tailor um what did you guys think of the album and before y'all answer that what do y'all think she thinks of the album well i've seen the tweets well clearly she said that's not even her real album. Word.

So that's how she feels. I thought the album was all right. The album was good. Yeah. I think she showed a lot of growth vocally. The music was good. It's like every other one of these. It's like two that I like a lot, a bunch that are cool, and then a couple that I don't want to hear ever again.

Yeah, the last song I will never hear again. Well, I'm not saying I wouldn't hear it. It won't be played by me ever again. The standouts to me was Gonna Love Me and Rose in Harlem, to me. But I saw a lot of other people saying Hurry they liked, which again, I didn't need a Kanye verse on that. Relax, all you Kanye fans. It has nothing to do with political shit.

Just didn't need the verse on there. Ty was great on Three Way. Pause. But I thought it was a cool project. I just want to talk to Kanye West

if you're listening which I know you're not. I have lied to a lot of women from the uptown area. This is not going to end well for you bro. Don't ever lie to a girl north of 103rd Street.

Unless you're sure you can get away with it. North of 103rd. Who are you saying you're lying to? Tiana. Tell me more. Well, this is what I found out today. Because prior, I don't know if everyone saw Tiana's tweets. People were like, yo, I wanted that version from everyone saw Tiana's tweets. People were like,

yo, I wanted that version from Instagram and she would retweet it and say, yeah, me too. Yeah, I saw a couple. Then she went on Big Boi or whoever it was today and kind of cleared that up

that she didn't know that her album was going to come out on that Saturday morning. Her friends woke her up and she was like, oh shit, I guess all the samples got cleared. So then she went to go listen

to her own album the same way I think Nas did. Oh, so you ain't hit her, Nas and Tiana with the same, are you fucking with your album? Yes. Okay. This is craziness.

And then, I know we laughing because it's funny, but this is craziness. So then Tiana realized that a lot of the samples and parts of her album that she heard

were no longer there. Can I just add in before he finishes that this realization is coming after the release date. No, this is coming from... No. I'm so confused.

Yo, her homegirl woke her up and said, yo... You fuck with your album? Yeah, album is out. And she said, word? Yo, somebody wake you up

asking if you fuck with your album. Word. I guess the samples got cleared. Yo, that's crazy. That's crazy. So what you think? Yo, you fuck with your album. Word. I guess the samples got cleared. Yo, that's crazy. That's crazy. So what you think? Yo, you fuck with your album?

So Tiana, who I'm imagining is trying to save face and keep people away from behind the scenes and say, yeah, it was just a misunderstanding. I don't know no Tiana,

but I know Tiana is blowing that motherfucker's phone up and scream i know her mother is doing this yeah she's pissed see that's why i didn't think that this tiana seven day theory macaveli rollout was gonna go as smoothly as some of these other ones because tiana ain't really one of y'all yeah she ain't y'all so she ain't gonna move like y'all and she's expectant of certain things. And when they're not delivered, we're going to know because she's not one of y'all. I love that.

She's going to be vocal about it. I love that we're able to tell. And she's so vocal that this little bit of vocal she been, we know she want to be way more vocal than that. This is Tiana quiet. Yeah. And mind you, this is with me Quiet. Yeah. And mind you, this is with me enjoying the album.

I like the album. Yeah, I like it too. I'm not going to listen to, I've got complaints, but that don't mean shit. I enjoy the album. I'm not going to listen to WAP this pussy ever.

I'm a little confused about why it comes behind a gospel song. Here's my theory of strategic marketing. They had such a big moment with Focus in that video. I think they were trying to find, because Tiana's a dancer at the end of the day.

I think they're going to try to find something with a video or a performance to that record. Because she's a dancer, and you can't really put that in that, wrestle that out. Rory, did you just interrupt to say that she's a dancer at the end of the day, and they're probably going to make her dance to that record.

Well, they need one. So you were asking why it came on that. Where was it going to fit? No, it shouldn't have gone behind a gospel record is what I'm saying. Balance.

It could have went anywhere. Balance. Balance. No, that's not balance. Sunday morning's church, Sunday night strip club. No, that's not balance. But that's cool.

But that's cool. You put that there. I'm never going to listen to that. Once again, I hate the Kanye verse. I hate the Kanye verse. What's the song of that's cool. You put that there. I'm never going to listen to that. Once again, I hate the Kanye verse. I hate the Kanye verse. What's the song of that?

Hurry? Hurry. And I skipped that song. I'm skipping that song. But the Kanye verse just shouldn't be there. And to me, it always sounds like, oh, and they later announced this. But it sounds like he gets the stems a few days before. And he starts working on this shit and he finds a spot where

verse need to go and then it ain't nobody to call and holla at real quick so he just because it's deadlines he just get up and freestyle some shit real quick it sounds like it this is my problem with the people that that that are saying because people think that i hate kanye because um i'm critical of some of the things that he said and I'm standing in my consumerism. I don't hate Kanye, but I'm one of the people that have always recognized his musical genius. If the musical genius is now laziness, then we have to stop calling him a musical genius.

These are lazy efforts. And that's my beef with the Tiana Project that I like. Because I like maybe five out of the eight songs. Maybe six even. If you give me a 10-track album and I like six songs a maybe five out of the eight songs maybe six even if you give me a ten track album and I like six songs a lot I'm happy if you give me a 12 track album and I like six songs a lot I'm happy on this particular album it sound like and I have Tiana's first album which is great and there's more than one verse per song on there so So all the joints that sound like they could have been joints

if she just added another verse, there was no other verse. And some of them runs that I heard on her Instagram, they were just gone. He just had a blast with the delete button on her vowels. So I understand it. Also, here, let me point this out for you people that think I'm just a Nas hater as well. All the reasons that I really enjoy the production on Tiana's album are all the same reasons I really hate the production on Nas' album. The Tiana's album, today, if you notice, the bops are not really geared toward words.

They're geared toward melodies, the the bops even the samples now so on tiana's album all of those samples and her voice oh it sounds amazing all of those slower samples and nods is flow and voice did not so again i'm holding him to the same standard i like three of the songs out of the seven that's just a bad album for from any standard that's not me hating three out of seven is not a good ratio now off of that back to tiana shit if they would have just put another verse on what was that issues i think it's issues let me see no not issues uh where did it hit it oh my god this is the stand out to me it's just I feel like this could have been her cranes in the sky damn near yes where are

you talking about she's a dancer this was her dance record yeah you barefoot in your crib cleaning up this was her dance record if she puts another fucking verse on here it might rock like it might rock like cranes. The Neo-Soul Hoes is going to play it. All guilt's a shiny stuff I want to spend. My life with you. My life with you. Oh, baby, baby.

Yeah. Yeah. This should be another verse on that record I agree I mean Three ways It's coming out on Friday again Oh yeah, because Tiana's letting

Basically on Twitter saying This is not the real album Well yeah, no It announced that they're re-releasing The album on Friday Thanks They are? This album?

Yes Re-releasing it, what? With the samples? And with everything that Tiana wanted on the album. Oh, yeah, the Lauren sample. I really missed that on Rose and Harlem. I really missed that. I mean, I still like that record a lot,

but that shit on her Instagram sounded like a whole different monster. Three-way, I liked a whole lot, but it begs the question and I'm gonna ask it I'm just gonna ask it I know y'all are not normally honest when I put you on these predicaments but I'm gonna ask it Ty dollar sign friend of the show huge fan it's Ty dollar sign a better feature than he is an artist? Hmm. I enjoy some of his solo work. Me too. I like a lot of it. Yeah.

But it's... He might be so busy doing writing and features for other people that he doesn't spend as much time as he maybe should on his shit. Because Ty... Ty Stanton, when he comes in on a feature, no one sounds like him. Yeah. He changes the whole tone of a record so I think it heightens more

as a feature than a whole Ty Dolla $ign record like your whole mode changes when Ty comes in on that Ye album all the high points

for me is when Ty comes in like he changes the mood of every record cause no one sounds like him so that that could be

kind of an achilles heel to him when it comes to solo work but we have all of his projects free tc i is one of my favorite albums in the past few years i love that yeah great album okay and i love it too i don't want that to sound like i didn't need that out ty kind of has that wayne syndrome where i think ty literally makes like seven records a day instead of when it comes to solo shit all right let me take six months to focus on 14 records okay this is the problem i figured out my problem with the tc the free tc album ty has ty if we're going off his features and how talented and capable we know him to be ty is talented enough to produce that high quality music on his own album and it's spread

outside of his core i think free tc was an amazing album that fed his core. I guess I'm looking for him to do what he does to everyone else's music on his own shit, kind of. I hope I'm not offending him because I'm a fan of his, but I do have a point that I'm trying to make. I don't know. I'm anxious to see his next project. I think Ty can mold into anyone's sound, too. So you may be liking someone

else's work with Ty. I think you could throw Ty in a studio with any type of producer, and that sound's going to mold well with Ty. Why didn't they release Horses in a Stable? They did. That's a no. As a single? No, it wasn't as a single.

Do they do singles anymore? Not really. Atlantic? Yes. When they want to. It was deemed as a misogynistic record that wouldn't work.

That's why it wasn't a single. Okay. That's probably why I like it so much. I don't know if I was supposed to say that. That's probably why I like it so much. I don't know if I was supposed to say that. That's probably why I like it so much. It is a good record.

All right, so what else we got? What were we talking about? I want to talk about, I think this Tiana re-release is going to spark something. This is Conspiracy Theory Rory's podcast now. I think the fact with streaming now, you can re-release the same album

under the same cue, so all the numbers will continue to that album. I see artists re-release the same album under the same queue. So all the numbers will continue to that album. I see artists re-releasing their projects with different... That's the new remix. Yeah, that's what Kanye did with the whole Life of Pablo shit. So I think people are going to put out albums and then be like, yo, in two weeks, I'm changing all of it.

And then they go back to the same file on Spotify and you're getting a whole new rip. It's like a first week sales again. Yeah, okay. As long as whatever she's adding is fire. I don't care. If she adds some bullshit, I'm going to be mad. The only problem with that is if you take away something that was great.

Yeah. That's the problem. By trying to add to it. But also people like, for example, Black put three new records on that same free Black. Okay. So streaming, people are definitely finding ways to get one up on streaming and to get their numbers higher.

Right. That is a good way to get your numbers higher though. Re-release it. So I am curious to see how Tiana does. If this spikes her or not doubles, but picks her up a lot because now everyone's running back. Well, I have to hear the new Tiana album.

Like if that wasn't it I have to go click the same little play button that's connected to those numbers right I think everyone the consensus is

everyone really likes the album though like I haven't seen many people saying that no my timeline was that's not true really

really I've seen yeah I've seen quite a bit I follow a lot of women that don't like women and I follow a lot of women that don't like women. And I follow a lot of people that are big Tiana fans.

So, no, they felt like this was a good EP. If you heard her first album. No, I'm not comparing. I'm just saying that they like. I saw people that were disappointed. They like these songs, though. The consensus, to me, that's what it felt like. Well, I like the songs. I like the songs. Do you think she gets a benefit from being part of the Kanye rollout songs though. The consensus to me that's what it felt like. Well I like the songs.

I like the songs. Do you think she gets a benefit from being part of the Kanye rollout as opposed to just being released even if he did her album six months from now? Let me tell you something

I would be trying to audit all that shit. I could see Tiana being even more mad because out of everyone on that roster this was more important

to her. Nas is Nas. His legacy is solidified. He could put out dirt. He's still Nas. Kanye is going to be Kanye to everyone. Kid Cudi doesn't give a fuck. Cudi just popped up.

And who believes that Tiana in all of these years only had seven songs done? That's what I'm saying. And Tiana, she does a lot of great shit. I think she would admit this. She still has to prove herself as a musician. Yeah. And I think this was very important to her to just do that seven-track rollout.

Like, I'm not Nas and Cudi. This means more to me in my career. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, you make a good point, Marie. Thanks, man. Let me just make this statement loud, Murray. Thanks, man. Some people got problems with you, bro. She ain't changed.

Joe don't even stream his own music to get some money off of you. That's the bootleg. Fuck a plate, yeah. It's not even the mixed version. Downloaded that from Napster. That's the rough. I don't have any of my official joints. That's the bootleg. Fuck a plate, yeah. It's not even the mixed version. Download that from Napster. That's the rough. I don't have any of my official joints. That's crazy.

Yeah. You don't have your stems? He definitely doesn't have his stems. The stems from 03? Yo. Listen, Joe. Don't do that. What?

Joe has the edited version of his first album hanging in his house. Why do you have the edited version of his first album hanging in his house why do you have the edited version it's the one i bought it was sold out at all the hmvs talk about it all the virgin mega stores the virgin megastore yeah you went outside back then you're crazy i don't know when you was outside you don't think I was outside when you had an album in stores? I don't know. I was outside. Was Rory outside?

In 03? Rory was not outside when Pump It Up was running the streets. Yes, I was. Pump It Up was running the streets. Mo, what's up? You got a lot of people touring my catalog. All right, my bad. I'm not saying nothing else about your catalog. Yeah, the fuck out of here, nigga.

My bad. All right, what else is I'm not saying nothing else about your catalog. Yeah, the fuck out of here, nigga. My bad. All right, what else is really interesting that we have? Oh, Mom wants to know why there was a dead body found in Janoris Jenkins' house.

Yeah, that's... My giant season is over. CTE, CTE's fault. Maybe it was someone that cleans his house, maybe? Was he there? No, he's at... Yeah, Kent.

Oh, all right. All right, that helps. He hasn't been there in two weeks, he said. Yeah, no, he hasn't been there. So it might be somebody that... I didn't expect him to say he. All right. He hasn't been there in two weeks, he said. Yeah, no, he hasn't been there. So it might be somebody that... I didn't expect him to say he was right there.

By dead body, is it a murder or did someone just pass out? They just found a body, man. Rory. It could be a landscape. That changes everything with the season. Is it a crime or did someone just die? Pass me that apple juice back there somewhere, please. It could be anybody.

Anybody that had access to this house. I don't know, but that's just crazy. You don't ever want to get news that a body was found in my house. I like this camp. Trying to deflect some passes. Staying outside of that part of the house. I was just saying, Jason Williams had the illest. I killed somebody in my house story.

Remember that? Yeah, yeah. That was a wild time. Where you went outside? I wasn't outside, but I remember it. Come on, Rory. Basketball player. The other, was it Jason Williams too?

The dude, there's twin basketball players, and one of them got killed on a yacht outside. Oh, no, that was. Are you talking about the sixth man, the movie? With the Weyand brothers? I never saw that film. It's a great movie. Park definitely saw the sixth man. Park's definitely saw yeah get the fuck

out of here Park niggas that don't really hoop watch all the non-hoop movies yeah that is a non-hoop movie that's a non-hoop movie it wasn't real moves

in that movie that wasn't real Park's was hype when Woody Harrelson started busting out moves in White Man Can't Jump that was a really big time for us

that was a great that's a classic basketball movie oh he can jump. Why Wesley did that to him? How sweet that man. That black nigga's fucked up. Fuck it.

Black nigga's a shady man. Yeah, for sure. Gotta be. All right, what was we talking about? I don't know. Oh, Janoris Jenkins. Yeah. Jason Williams said, I did that shit.

Here's the gun. There's the car. This is the home. This is, yeah, man. This is what it is. Right. I respect it. He stepped in the line of fire.

What did he say? That's what he said. He stepped in the way or something like that when he was, he said it was a hunting accident or something like that at first. Yeah, in his living room. That's what I'm about to say. Right in the front of the crib, there was a hunting accident. It was.

Yo, Nick, I can never get away with a hunting accident in my living room you don't hunt in your living room neither was he apparently um all right so we don't know but the giants already was weak in the secondary and now here we are no this doesn't help matters yeah i've been nervous and my name was jason going into any league. That name has not done well. Yes, it has. White chocolate? It lasted for a few years. He was nice, but then the other... Jay Williams had to change...

It was Jason Williams that Duke had to change his name after the murder shit. And then bike accident. He wasn't trash. He got a motorcycle accident. I'm so glad that you said... Oh, Jay Williams. Yeah, from Duke. The guard. Yeah, point guard.

He's on ESPN now or something, I think. Yeah, he's a commentator. Maul, I'm glad we're here. I want to read this to you, Maul, because we were having a conversation a few weeks ago about Marvin Williams. Okay. And I have here a report,

an article written by somebody, I think it was Bill Simmons, published the night of the 2005 draft. I just want to read you what he says about the first two picks. He's highlighting this draft because to him it was clear as day that Chris Paul was the best player in that draft,

and he went fourth. So here we are. And this was a pretty good uh article um on the clock the bucks who are planning to take andrew bo get it number one no not in a supplemental draft the actual draft i thought he was going to be the next bill winnington until last week when i found out he was only 20 years old now I'd like to upgrade that prediction to the poor man's Mike Jeminski which isn't necessarily a bad thing Gmo had a few good years and sported the best red mid-80s beard except for possibly Chuck Norris plus the clips of the clips of Bogut trying to guard Amari Stoudemire could fill an NBA DVD someday meanwhile Greg Anthony worries about Bogut going to the coachless Bucs,

saying, without a coach, you don't have a philosophy, a style, or a system. Apparently, he didn't watch Atlanta last season. That's followed by Tirico pointing out that the 1999 Clippers were the last team that drafted a center first, though they didn't have a coach, followed by Anthony laughing and joking, I hope that's not an omen. All right, here we go.

Bogut, that's what I gotmen. All right, here we go. Bogut. Here we go, Maul. Picking second and needing a point guard. The Hawks grab Marvin Williams, who shattered Shane Battier's record for most flattering stories and comments about someone's character before an NBA draft. This summer, by the time the draft started, I was waiting to see footage of him pulling kids out of wells

and delivering babies in elevators. To sum up his upside as an NBA prospect, Billish uses phrases like, Sky's the limit. Unbelievably long. Active. Athletic. The real deal. The complete package. Active. Athletic. The real deal.

The complete package. Active. Bouncy. Athlete. Really long. Wingspan of about 7'3". And then adds, the thing that makes him special is his range as a shooter. Of course, nowhere in that gushing argument was the phrase, couldn't start for his college team.

But we'll let that slide. I like Jay Billis. he's unbelievably long pause pause so marvin williams went second right what a fucking bum come on ma you tried to defend that nigga a few a few weeks he was no no but he was way hyped. He was hyped as a sixth man in college. Get his bum ass out of here. Come on, man. Get him the fuck out of here. I understand what you're saying, but he's still active in the league. My point

stands with Marvin Williams. A lot of players got drafted after him that's not there. That's all I'm saying. He's still playing. Still bouncy? Oh, wait. Who went third? They lost a little bit of air in the ties oh Utah took Darren Williams third

yeah this was a good draft alright off of the draft come on let's get to important shit Janoris Jenkins we don't know why he's a dead body there

hopefully the Giants secondary still rocks this is going to make me searching the Giants on Twitter really difficult and it was really difficult yesterday

because Saquon's naked body just kept popping up. Why is your issue running back naked? He was on the ESPN body thing. Oh, okay. The body issue. The naked men issue. Why do men do that?

Sell tickets, I guess. I don't know. He probably got some DMs after that Yeah nice body He got DMs before that As soon as your name is called You were Your DMs start ringing

Number 2 pick They know what that means Yeah for sure Did y'all see his body No Alright Yo what's on the docket What's next

Alright let me get into my shit You tell me bro Bro Oh come on Let's talk about Scorpion Let's talk about it Come on man You tried to

Fashion week was more so your thing, not mine. Shots. Let me tell y'all that this is why Drake is the greatest nigga in the world. Sitting like that. Only Drake can do that. Name an artist that can put a billboard up and do that. Fam. Name one.

The hardest one to me was the don't hit me when this comes out. No, that was just as spicy. I like that one, though. Because you spicy, nigga. I like that one. What is it? Don't hit me when this comes out? Don't hit me when you hear this.

But yeah, Friday, man. Come on, man. I think we're going to hear some great music. Oh, but wait.

Back to Fashion Week. Tell us about it. Only Dre can put that billboard up. First of all, we don't know if that was to a girl or a guy. That was to Kanye West. Yeah, I think that was beef. Duh. west yeah i think i think i think that was beef duh no see i thought i thought at first that he might have been just you know doing either the elitist rapper shit where you shit on something that everybody thinks is really cool or talking to a girl because one of these albums is for women

and one of them is for guys even i don't know why he's saying that because i'm gonna be killing that shit for the women what i was gonna say i hope that's not why he's saying that, because I'm going to be killing that shit for the women. What? I was going to say, I hope that's not what he thought was going to happen. I hope that wasn't his plan. I'm playing all of that fall for your type shit. Word. I need a new brand new record. I need a new I Hate Sleeping Alone. Yeah.

Yeah, word. I need a new one, man. Let's get it. Yeah, for when niggas get lonely. Right. The good ones do go if you wait. Right. That's a fact. Where's the lie? I'm jam when niggas get lonely. Right. The good ones do go if you wait. Right. That's a fact.

Where's the lie? I'm jamming all of that when it come out. Y'all can have all that hip hop, I'm upset shit. Hey, no, I'm not. No, we're near upset. You want to hear all that R&B? I'm fucking ecstatic. Yeah.

So yeah, Fashion Week is really your thing, not mine. What a spicy billboard. That was spicy. Come on, Drake. Did they put like a pepper at the end of that? A pepper emoji? Yeah, you got to put a pepper emoji. Oh, my.

Yo, if he put out a billboard with Pusha T sitting in the front of Fashion Week, man. Dog. He can't do that. He didn't reply to the diss. He can't do that. He can do that. That could be a reply. You can put Pusha T on a billboard in front of Fashion Week with Saha and his Tims.

Chill. Saha's seven tracks is coming out. Relax. Them seven tracks ain't seeing the light of day no time soon. Sorry. Noah and Paul already tweeting. That was a great Kanye. Good music rollout.

Still over with. See you next time. See you next year. They folding up shop. It's over. What else released they got? Besides Sean? Davies.

East. Sean wasn't even in the good music shit. Smart motherfucker. No part of that, yeah. Yeah, Jhené ain't letting that nigga do shit. I was about to say something before y'all asked about Big Sean. I just tried to shut up every time y'all asked about Big Sean. I just tried to shut up every time y'all talk about Big Sean.

Why? I don't really like talking about Big Sean. Why? You don't really like Big Sean. I don't. For real? But why though? Because I'm holding a grudge.

That's why. About what? What would you and Sean have a grudge about? Nothing at all. Nothing at all. I'm not over something he did to somebody else. Oh, you're an Ariana Grande fan. It's all coming full circle.

Oh, shit. He really liked that Ariana Grande song. And this was years ago, so I could be being petty. He might be a different. You're talking about Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande? I get it. Park's making jokes, but I think he might somehow know what I'm talking about. I know exactly what you're talking about. he might somehow know what I'm talking about.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I know you know what I'm talking about. So yeah, I don't rock like that. I just don't rock like that. So if you don't have

anything nice to say, I don't say anything. Joe, that is not you. That's not you, but okay. You are the exact, Joe Budden,

I don't have anything nice to say, so I'm going to say it. So I'm not going to shut up. I like Sean's red outfit. I know you did. It looked good. That's it.

That's all you got? That's what I got for you, man. I like his red outfit. Anyway. So Scorpion is where he was at. I'm excited. Maul, give us something, man. That's all I got.

You have to incorporate Weed in the food Oh you talking about... I don't know the name of it and neither do you, so don't waste your time. Duh, duh, duh. Oh, you mean...

Why'd you buy all that shit? What is it called? Weetakits? Weetakits? Something like... Savon? Etiquettes and weed? We don't know.

Savon, look that shit up. It's cool, man. Keep it to yourself. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about, though. They just infuse. You use CBD oils and shit in their food. I don't like eating weed.

But the thing is, you really don't taste it. But you get high. Yeah. I don't like the high from eating weed. It would be a dope dinner, though, when you think about it. Except for when you have crippling anxiety. Wait, is that considered drugging a woman? Is that like a little rapey if you take her on a weed date? dope dinner though when you think about it. Except for when you have crippling anxiety afterwards because you're tripping your face off. Is that considered

drugging a woman? Is that like a little rapey if you take her on a weed date? Yes. If all the food If you don't tell her. We were real close to the bag. I don't know why

y'all would do this now. I don't know why y'all would do this. The timing is just horrible. Charlamagne just got a show. Dude, Samara just got a show. Yeah, I don't understand you guys.

They didn't say when those shows were going to air, but I would like to know. I think they said next year for Deezus and Mero. Oh yeah, they did say

2019 for them. Yeah, Vice brought their lawyers out for that one. I said next year because I don't know what year it is anymore. It's 2018.

Thanks, Parks. Thank you. Yeah, so congratulations to Charlemagne and Deezus and Mero. What else? What else is there? Oh, no, we didn't finish.

So y'all have nothing on Scorpion. We're just going to listen to it. Is that what you're telling me? We done? We done? Y'all done? It's not like anything leaked. We didn't hear anything.

Oh, let's fucking guess something, man. Okay, how many shots are we predicting? Hmm. There's going to be a lot of subs, I think. Shit ton of subs. I hate that. Y'all know how well I stand on that. I hate that it's going to be subs. I subs, I think. And I hate that. I hate that. Y'all know how well I stand on that. I hate that it's going to be subs.

I hate that. There'll be some subs. There might be one or two directs. I think there'll be some directs. Yeah. That many? It sounded about 32. Double albums ambitious.

Well, how much was More Life? That could have been a double disc, I guess. That could have been, too. Damn near was More Life that could have been a double disc that could have been damn near all his albums probably could have been a double disc Views was definitely

like 22 songs or some shit yeah I do like that about about how he handles projects and it'll be interesting for me to see

the way the difference in how the public receives the some of the shorter projects that, uh, I won't say sound a bit rushed,

but yeah, it sounded a bit rushed versus yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause, because the fuck are savvy trained ears, the public enjoyed some of these songs and some of these albums on the rush shit.

So now here comes Drake. Who's probably been working for the last two years on his project. Right. Along with 40 mad musicians. Drake albums, the beat normally change every fucking eight bars or some shit. Yeah.

I'd like to see how the public doesn't even matter to them anymore. They don't care about length. Pause. I think it matters, but listen, as long as the music is good, everyone will forget that Pusha shit

if it's a good album. I need some summer music anyway. This Kanye shit ain't really striking the summer nerve, you know what I mean? Not at all. We don't have that summer soundtrack yet. This Kanye shit ain't really striking the summer nerve, you know what I mean? Not at all. No. Yeah, Drake. Yeah, we don't have that summer soundtrack yet. Yeah. Is the summer anthem dead?

No. No. No. Absolutely not. Well, we didn't have a clear-cut one the last two years. Bodak Yellow last summer. Yeah, Bodak Yellow. Young M.A. the summer before that.

Right. I think. Oh, yeah, Bodak Yellow was the clear-cut record last summer, huh? Yeah. French's record was counting there too Oh yeah Shmurda's Three years ago Oh yeah

They just try to act like There's no record of the summer When a New York artist has it Yeah That's true Shit New York has had the summer record For a couple summers going now

All the way up Was the summer record Yeah Yeah But that wasn't the record of the summer It was an early summer record. Yeah. Yeah.

Do y'all want to address the... Do y'all want to address... A few people have been asking us to address the numbers being back on Hov and Beyonce's album. Yeah, I'm seeing people saying that's a flop. How? They didn't announce shit. They just put an album out. I don't even care about that.

It came out Saturday night and then didn't go to Apple until like Monday morning. So it's like you had three days to count for sales. That's the part that I'm a little confused at with the fans. So to the fans asking that, let me explain to you the difference. Because they're saying that I said

Kanye's album didn't do so well. So how can I avoid saying the same about this album I guess that's their point only three days three days specifically on a streaming site that everyone's not on that they own

three days specifically on a streaming site that's not giving you any of the analytics they're not giving you or Apple or me or anybody any of their fucking. They're not giving you or Apple or me or anybody any of their fucking, any of their numbers.

They're not. So when you see 125 come back, it's 125 from wherever. It ain't from Tidal. Right. Which is where most people listen. That's where I listen to it. I went and bought Tidal.

Me too. I didn't even know it went on iTunes. Yeah. That's news to me. Even though I bought Tidal Me too I didn't even know I didn't even know It went on iTunes Yeah That's the news to me Even though I bought Tidal For Tiana shit I bought Tidal

Mad times I ran out of emails So I had to actually Start paying for it That's funny Free trial shit Was alright So yeah

So there's that With that numbers With numbers gate The people swear They be on to some shit Yo they swear They found like The Bermuda Triangle

No they just think That we're biased Of course Well we are It's a dude That's in my I'm about to block him He's in my DMs

Every week Telling me Yo how heavy is that bag Y'all keep getting that bag Y'all on the payroll Somebody tweeted me The other day And said we were on

Good Music's payroll because I tweeted that I liked Tiana's album. Oh, shit is crazy. I said, wait, we're on the payroll for Good Music now? The payroll.

Which means consistently We've been murdering them for a month. People are stupid. They think we're a bit biased toward Hov. I've admitted my bias with Hov, so.

I feel like I'm biased to Hov. I'll admit it. You're fucking right. That's Hov. I've admitted my bias with Hov. I feel like I'm biased with Hov. I'll admit it. You're fucking right. That's Hov. Me too. Yeah. So you guys can't win

that conversation. Sorry. We've all admitted our Hov bias. I just feel like I admit all my bias. I'm biased. It's not too many people

that I'm going to... And I don't think that's fair because I should get a reprieve when it's people that I've beefed with in the past.

Good word, by the way. Yeah, like I shouldn't be allowed to re-beef. Or not on the re-beef. The re-beef. Yeah, you know how long it fucking took me and Corey to try to convince Maul to fucking go fucking apologize to Hov for us? Yo, Maul. Wait, how did he? Maul, keep going.

Tell us about this apology. That was the worst. I will never ask Maul to do anything. Maul is trash, my nigga. Joe just don't understand. I'm not,

it's just a time and a place for everything. That's just my motto and that's it. Especially when I know Jay personally. Like, I'm not going to do that

in a room full of people. How did this conversation go? Yo, Maul, he's over there. No, it wasn't even like that. Wait, let Park get his jokes off. No, no, no.

That's all I needed. It just wasn't the time. It wasn't the time or the place. At the bowling alley? Is that where it was? No, the bowling alley was... That was awkward. No.

That's a good time for the apology. Yeah, they didn't even know I was there. He knew he was there. Wait, was that Andrew? No, I said, thanks, nigga. You too. You he was there. Wait, was that actually? No, I said thanks, nigga. You too. You and Hov. Moe, you got to say the order low.

I got to get into you. Nah, man, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't act different when Hov come around. Don't do that. You know it's never like that with me. Nah, you was there talking for about 15. No, it was not that long.

It was two minutes. Well, Joe, if that bothered you, I'm warning you now. I'm changing up when Hov comes around. Oh, Joe, if that bothered you, I'm warning you now. I'm changing up when Hope comes around. Oh, no, no, no, no. That only bothered me because I didn't expect that, Amor. I know you changing. How did I change up, though? How did I change up?

Wait, Roy don't think niggas know that he would change up. Roy, you seen what I just saw you do on tour? Roy's a different nigga. What did I do? I didn't do nothing on tour. Oh, no. No, Roy didn't do anything on tour. Nothing, no. No, Rory didn't do anything on tour. Nothing yet.

Nothing scandalous, if you're listening. Yeah, nothing scandalous. That's not what we were talking about. It's fucking, you've ruined the vibe. Just get out of here. What was I saying? All right, yeah, we know you're going to act different around Hope. Oh, we want to hear your mall girl apologize to Hope.

No, that's not what I want to do here. No. I don't want to talk off of that shit. I don't want to hear any of that shit. What do y'all think of Flex and Kid Capri? You all care? Came out of nowhere. It's just, it's always just, it's bad to always see the OGs do corny shit.

Like, I hate when the OGs set the example of, like, corny shit. Like, where does that come from? Kid Capri, why is he beefing with Flex? Oh, come on, Maul. What do you mean, come on? Don't do that. Don't do what? I want to know.

Why is he beefing with Flex? You know them niggas have had a beef since the 60s. About what, though? DJing. DJing. Come on, man. Come on. Well, Kid Capri made his point today, or whenever it was that he recorded that video, where

he said, listen, you always picking uh djs that can't really say anything back because they're not on your level of djing or they're quiet or whatever yeah do it to me any any which way you want to do it for money for for your name for bragging rights however you want to do it do it with me so we know Flex to be someone that continuously calls out people for the smoke. Now that somebody is calling him. Hey, talk about it, Roy. Let me hit the drop on these niggas right quick. Any of you radio personalities think you want smoke?

See, that radio word is distinct. Call me Mr. Chimney. I want smoke. Capri's not a radio personality. Yeah, Capri's not a radio personality. He's on Sirius. Is he? That's all I was there.

Yeah, but he's not. That's not what he's saying. He DJs on Sirius. He's not aius. Is he? Yeah, but he's not. That's not what he's saying. He DJs on Sirius. He's not a personality, is he? I mean, he is. I mean, he talks. Oh, that's a personality then. Yeah.

Listen, do you think he wants Smoke with Kid Capri or not? No. On a DJ level, I don't think so. I think he wants Smoke, but I think Flex feels like this is all Capri doing this to get some type of attention right now. And I don't think Flex wants to just grant that. First of all, that's all Flex does to begin with as well. That's Flex's style. I think Flex feels like Capri hasn't been really as relevant as he has been since, I mean, he has the Kendrick Lamar record.

I'm not rolling with that relevant shit. And I'm not shitting on Flex here. Kendrick Lamar. She's about to shit on Flex. About to shit on Flex. About to shit on Flex. From what I've seen, Flex DJs in New York,

Connecticut, and New Jersey. Yeah. Wait, what is Rory saying? Flex DJs in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Right. Someone's been listening to Hot 97 commercials.

That's where his flyers that he posts typically go. Capri is at festivals. He's in a different country every weekend. So don't tell me about relevant. Right. If we're going on that scale, I would say Capri is more relevant. Right. You would lose.

Yeah. I get what you're saying. I get why you would say that, but. Why would I lose? Because Flex is more vocal in New York City? No, because Flex has been a more prominent DJ for... Personality, I would say. Yeah.

Yeah, there we go. Let me say that. Personality slash... I'm talking about DJing. And not to say that he can't... You're talking about DJing. That's what I'm talking about. They're both legends, so it's, you know.

Yeah, I mean, it's really... They're putting Capri's name on a festival in 2018 before they're putting Flex. That doesn't do anything for me. Certainly overseas. That doesn't... I'm not a big fan

of when people pull out the festival line in hip-hop debates. I don't care what they do with the festival. But I mean, it's fair to call someone irrelevant if they're working.

There's hundreds of thousands of people at these festivals. Oh, no, no no I guess I guess when I was saying irrelevant I was saying in comparison to Flex

over the last however many years I mean he hasn't been significant but I mean that's neither here nor there it doesn't matter

in a DJ battle you all take Kick Capri yeah I'm taking Kick Capri in a DJ battle yeah you can't take anything away from me they're both way to accomplish they're both way

Kick Capri was just on the fucking rap album of the year and got a Grammy for it. I don't think Flex gets the credit he deserves as an actual DJ because of a lot of the fuck shit he does. They're both pretty well-obeyed, that's all I'm saying. Flex can DJ for real. I think that would be a good battle. That's why, to Maul's point,

I don't want to see them doing a bunch of Instagram videos back and forth. Has Flex done a video yet? He's replied with, I think, text messages of pictures. Yeah, but he hasn't did his Flex on camera shit. He did on the radio. Either battle or shut up.

Don't be online. I think last night on the radio he was talking shit. Okay. They're both legends, so. They're not going to do this, though. It would be nice to see an actual battle.

Nah, if they actually battle, that would be dope. That would be hard. It would be good for DJ culture. I'm with that. It would be that would be good for dj i'm with that it'd be good for dj culture yeah i'm with that let's see it on somebody better call them and let them know that you're with that yeah i'm with clippers are training austin rivers for are you a clipper fan yes well i was a chris paul fan yo every year from 2009 to 2015 Maul was picking the Clippers

to win the championship you remember Maul was such a loser sometimes that's part of where my Chris Paul hate came from is just watching Maul

grow a mad time a mad time every year alright mic check 1-2-1-2 mic check

1-2-1-2 right we are back. That was a punch. I don't think they could have figured that one out. I don't have any shame in letting the viewers know when there's a punch. There's a punch right there, guys. Let me take this time.

Before I get into Pete, right? And then we're going to address Pete. We're going to address a few things here. And we're going to use this as a very teachable moment for all. But before we get into that, I'd like to thank all you niggas that have cashed at me money. You guys are great. All you people that have

been requesting money, you guys are dicks. Some of your reasoning, I feel you, but I just can't do it, man. Someone wanted a stack for strategic marketing. Yeah, come on. I'm going to decline you dogs. Yeah, sorry. I'm declining the request.

But you guys are awesome. I haven't yet decided what you're contributing to but I'll let you know. Shit. I'll tell you now. My cable. Groceries.

My light bill. Oh, they definitely buying niggas groceries. Beers. Yeah, we appreciate it. It's appreciated. I definitely didn't appreciate it. I mean, didn't expect people to be so generous.

That was dope. Thanks, guys. You didn't expect that, right? I didn't. Why you don't expect things? I didn't expect that. I expect things. That's a deeper conversation, I think.

It is, yeah. Into Maul's psyche and why he doesn't expect things. You shouldn't expect things in life, I feel like. You should expect some things. Have you been let down in the past? Maul's been let down. Maul's been let down. I think every nigga in this room has been let down

a few times in their lives. Indeed, but let's not deflect. It's not about being let down. That's going to happen in life. How is it that you deal with it when you're let down? It depends on what it is. Alright, well, let's stay with relationships for a second. How do you deal with it

when you're let down by the opposite sex? Fuck other women and get it out of your system. Masturbation, at least. You can never have a serious moment with your ex. I was serious. Alright, how do you handle it when you're let down by your friends it depends on

what it is though like if you didn't meet me at the bar yeah like I'm not tripping all day and out there it's like a let down

it's kind of like oh fuck you then but if it's like you know you stole something out of my house it's like oh man what about your friends

yes I am B drop stole something out of my house. It's like, oh, man. You're playing What About Your Friends? Yes, I am. Beat drop. Go ahead and act like this wasn't hard. It's a good record. Shit, it's still dope. Yeah, it is still hard. Rest in peace, Left Eye.

You got Houdini? What about? T-Bog's voice really really creep me out in sixth grade. Okay, that's not what I was. Here we go. I was looking for this for my. Here we go. We did the Tiana segment already.

You see what I can't understand? Oh, yeah. Somebody have a lifetime friend. Friendship. Friendship. Hold up, man. Lethip. Friendship. Hold up, man. Let me hit my machine guns. If you at work, turn this bitch down.

That sounds nuts. All right. Love. Love is where we are here. Love and friendship. Let me hit my air horn. Let me update the listeners because there are a lot of listeners. Let me update the listeners.

Last week on this podcast, rest in peace to Triple X. Last week on this podcast, I started in a very somber state. I was very sad. I was beside myself. I was going through things and I had just taken like the greatest nap at Park's house. So when niggas woke me up, like niggas woke me up and we just hopped right on the mic pause. And that was kind of how it went. Then I went on vacation and I sat there and I patted myself on the back because I was able to piss niggas off on the last podcast and then go on vacation. I thought that was ill. I thought it was ill that by the time niggas was mad and ranting about some shit I said the other day, I was already under the sun, virgin pina coladas.

That's crazy. And then... You had the umbrella in there? Yeah, it was the umbrella and whipped cream. Whipped cream on a virgin pina colada? Yeah. You got to make it look like the real deal.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I don't think I've tried that before. Spice it up. Yeah, a pineapple or something. You know, they cut it nice. You need all the trimmings when it's a virgin.

Absolutely. The fix, the fixins. The cherries. How do they make it in Ireland? It's just rum. Whiskey. Everything. Oh, it's just ice.

There's ice and whiskey. Guinness and whiskey. Sometimes no ice. With a potato in it. All right, that was racist. You took it way too far. So then I thought to myself, and then I was even more proud because I said, damn, now I'm well rested and rejuvenated and reenergized and I'm going to go back in a dress hold and stuff.

Like, that's fucked up. Like, I felt bad. So let's get into it. Last week, right, I told a story about how I was in my car listening to ESPN radio and I heard Pete Rosenberg alongside his co-hosts Don LaGreca and Michael K two Trump supporters uh I heard him interrupt his Yankee broadcast because that's what they were talking about to break the news that Triple X had died to his audience that was not a hip-hop audience but he prefaced it by letting us know that he is a hip-hop journalist so that's why he had to do it and when these gentlemen were saddened by the news they said oh man that's horrible who was this young man the first thing that pete rosenberg said was

well he was no angel and i was upset about that last week so i called him out on it on on my podcast right i want to use this as a teachable moment for all first First of all, I want to say I heard a lot of people saying, damn, Joe. It's fucked up, man. You should have called them. Let me clear something up for you people out there. No, I shouldn't have.

Denline is so overrated in the culture. Yo, you should have called them. I never want to talk to these people on a phone i don't want to talk to anybody on the phone yeah well i don't even want to talk to my friends on the phone and why should i have called people who the fuck is pete rosenberg for me to call him why we're not friends and i think that's the part that i that's that's lesson number one friendship in this industry right right? It's weird.

It takes a lot of people to really come to grips with what friendship in this industry really means. For me, what it means is what it means. I go by the context of the English language. I don't deal with seasonal relationships. My people are my people. I can count my friends probably on two hands. I say all that to say no disrespect to mine and Pete Rosenberg's relationship, but we're not friends. I'm not calling him when I hear him say some stupid shit on the radio. Very, very few people I will call

when that happens. That's number one. Number two, let me give you some background here. Let me give you some background here. Pete Rosenberg, and this is all my opinion, has has has harbored quite a few resentments toward Joe Budden for quite some time. Right. That's important to note here. And it's important to note as you're maneuvering through the industry, as you deal with industry relationships he's he's he's had he's had an issue with mine and charlemagne's relationship for a few years now he feels like i was a little too close to charlemagne or didn't really shit on charlemagne like i should have when charlemagne was running rampant with his domestic violence jokes about me i never really felt a way about it because i'm that's they weren't true i didn't feel like i needed to explain that to pete rosenberg

but he harbored some resentment there because he hates charlamagne it's important that you not let people put their emotions on you we're going to use all of Pete's character defects to just be a really teachable moment so let's continue so he's got a resentment for that he's got a resentment about how I handled the Marissa Mendez firing from this podcast if you need more backstory there's a really awkward interview on Hot 97 that I did about the whole matter with him and Ebro and all that and that was the last radio interview I was ever going to do. Right? So I say that to say Pete is a pretty sensitive guy who already

feels a way toward Joe Budden about some things. Oh, he also feels like he should be credited for the success of this podcast somehow. He's even tweeted that. Before you finish laughing, right, it's important to know, because we're going to make some jokes here, but it's important to know, and this is all going to come full circle.

I think that most of this stems from the fact that Peter Rosenberg is not a creative. He doesn't create from scratch. He reports on it. And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. But Pete, you continue to compound mistake with mistake with mistake. Ben went on Twitter and said that I needed to listen to 20 more minutes of you and your fucking liberal conservative ass friends. Let me tell you something. I did. I listened. Y'all got off that topic very quickly and went back to the Yankees. That's why I was offended in the first place. And just in case I was mistaken. Right. Right. If maybe you did that in a moment of passion and confusion. On your little fuckity fuck complex show where you write monologues, that's super trash that nobody cares about.

You went and echoed the same exact sentiment of he was no angel. That's a real bad habit we got in this culture today where people just refuse to admit a wrong. It would have just been real simple to say, my bad, I shouldn't have did that. Because my sentiment wasn't really about X. X is in a better place. Thank God for him. He don't have to hear none of this bullshit the niggas are saying down here. The people that I'm concerned about are the fans and the family members who didn't do a thing to anyone they're here grieving who the fuck are you Pete to come and tell somebody that they're not

an angel let me tell you my problem with that Pete Rosenberg the hypocrisy the fucking hypocrisy pause before we get to hypocrisy let me explain something to you when I talk about privilege yeah it's not a race thing for me when I talk about privilege I don't I'm not the guy that's quick to pull the race card Pete when I talk about privilege it is solely related to memory. Those who fail to remember are doomed to repeat. This is my belief and my belief only, Pete Rosenberg. I feel like you owe your entire career and place in hip hop to gentlemen like Triple X. hip-hop to gentlemen like Triple X, to gentlemen like myself, gentlemen that you attempt to discredit because you feel inferior and insecure in your spot. It's off. So let's deal with, let's go back to hypocrisy. I've watched you repeatedly suck Mike Tyson's dick on air, off air. You love Mike Tyson.

Hey, guess what? Me too. I don't hear you call him a convicted rapist to his face. We don't maneuver like that here. We don't maneuver like that here because here we identify and we remember. Who the fuck are you to attempt to be on some type of moral high ground like you, the fucking ethics police? Newsflash, Pete, don't nobody need you to come say what's right and what's wrong and what's agreeable. No shit. Everything that that young man was doing with the moral police don't agree. We know, Pete, thank you for your very surface point.

I think you missed all of ours. The goal of you. That even in death and this is the part that really fucked me up. You bashed that young man for mistakes made. That young child, not even 21, can't fucking vote. You an adult and you alive. The second somebody call you on your shit, you run with your fucking tail cock between your legs. between your legs. Gotta be careful to not become the very thing we're against,

Pete. You run right to your little socials and not only attempt to attempt to defame my character, you then insult

the people that listen to this podcast. Cigarette and syringe emojis. Ooh, how did you feel inside? You're not telling me that because you are an emotional little man inside, you're using your platforms to just not be credible anymore. So now you're not believable because you've been called on a fucking mistake, Pete Rosenberg.

Memory. Memory. Those that forget. Doomed to repeat. I think you've forgotten a few things here, Pete. So I just want this to be a reminder for you because it then took you a whole week to turn around

and say, yo, I was wrong. Hey, guess what? Sometimes wrong is just wrong, Pete. You got the nerve to run the fucking Ebro, so Ebro can massage your little vagina. Oh, did he

give that vagina a nice little massage? And you came back to Twitter feeling manly again. You were feeling macho. Am I lying? No. Hey, he came back and said, hey, Ebro said I don't have to prove my voice or my place to anybody. That's a soundbite now. Only in this instance, because this is coming from a place of love.

It is. We don't have to be friends. But if you're going to be in this culture, goddammit, niggas is going to teach you how to behave while you're in it you can't just run along and what really pissed me off about it and this is what really pissed me off about it and all of this is an assumption i think peter rosenberg knows knows his place in this culture peter rosenberg's place in this culture is the whitewashed urban guy peter rosenberg that is your place on all of your platforms look around my nigga on the morning show ebro lauren you're the whitewashed urban guy you're the white guy who shares all the same opinions as the fucking uh popular backpack dirty white boy crowd that's you

what the fuck is your is your calling card wrestling same thing espn saying who you can't you can't attempt to discredit me pete rosenberg by saying i'm the worst rapper in slaughterhouse i don't give a fuck about rap i'm talking morals and ethics that was probably past 10 minutes, so I'm going to chill. I'm not that invested in Pete. Act, I don't really address you because we don't serve the same demographic. You talk to children. I'm not talking to children. And typically, like you normally do,

when you miss a point, you just grab on to some other point that nobody said and argue it. You're arguing something nobody said. No one is blaming you for death. Nobody said that once. Who said that? I didn't say that.

We didn't even allude to it. But I do believe that you're responsible for your energy. And I've seen you. I don't think that you are built to deal with the energy that you are soliciting. That was the point. And contrary to popular belief. Let me tell niggas something about the streets real quick and then I'm gonna start preaching. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes, baby, the streets warn you. Sometimes they warn you. Sometimes they come and tell you they don't really want it to happen

and then they watch how you move and then it's right so i tell you shit out of love act it's nothing to be debated it's nothing to argue do whatever the fuck you want to do. I don't care. But be careful. That is it. I just want everybody to be careful. Pete, I want you to have a little bit more kuth and respect for the people that allow you to be here. Yes, allow you. I don't give a fuck what Ebro tells you when he's giving you a massage in the morning.

To feel better. To pump your chest out. God damn it. Well, I think that was well said. I would have said it. Applause and gunshots should not be said together.

Applause and gunshots, my nigga. Yeah. Applause and gunshots. Yeah. I mean, that's all I got, man. I mean,

I wasn't in the Pete thing to the acting. That's why when we were joking before, I said I'm not going the P thing To the acting That's why when we were joking before I said I'm not I'm not going back and forth With academics over that The kid clearly missed the point I don't understand

Me personally I'm not going back and forth With someone like that That's just not my moral grounds Or where I'm standing He's still a bozo No he is a bozo I'm standing by that

That's why I'm not going back and forth With azo, man. No, he is a bozo. I'm standing by that. That's why I'm not going back and forth with a kid that isn't speaking to anybody that I talk to or lives any way that I live. I'm not talking to somebody that's scariest thing in their life that ever happened was the Wi-Fi going out. That's just not where I lead. The albino shit, I laughed too.

That was great. That was funny. That was funny. I laughed. Well, first of all, y'all don't know the plight of what it's like to wear sunscreen in December, so fuck out of here, man. That shit is tough. I laughed when he called him albino, man. You're the albino guy. It's funny.

I'm with it, Ak. But yeah, Ak, you missed the whole point. Well, wait, before you go any further, it is kind of scary when the Wi-Fi goes out. I mean... That's the worst. Yeah, that's all I got. So when they put a gun to your head and it jammed,

where does that scale on the Wi-Fi going out? You know, I've thought about that for a long time. The split second didn't leave much time to do much thinking or anything. You know how you always play it out in your head how it would happen if somebody tried to do something like that? It didn't go like that. It never goes like that.

At all. It never does. No, it never plays out what you planned in your head. Yeah, unless it's a Troy Ave story. Those were great interludes, Joe. Troy Ave broke the whole band up

with his shenanigans. Everybody related to that nigga is just off somewhere. Niggas is crazy, man. That's fucked up. All right, what was we saying? I don't know, man. She got real serious. No, we was talking about.

No, we was off of fucking Ack and Pete. Ack and Pete. Ack and fucking Pete. I can't' Pete. Ackin' fucking Pete. I can't believe the hypocrisy in some fucking people. Ackin' Pete. That sounds like a dope grocery store. I'd shop there. All right.

Oh. Is it Gap Band time? Yeah, it's definitely Gap Band time. What's going on? No, we can't... No, no, it's not Gap Band time. It's not Gap Band time. Listen, now, okay, we have to report on some of the real unfortunate shit that's i guess the common theme in all of this is just humanity i guess my beef with pete

and people that shared pete's sentiments was just compassion for humanity. So leading into this horrific, horrific Junior story that circulated and we just kept getting information all week long. For those that are unaware, in the Bronx, a kid nicknamed Junior was brutally murdered in a case of mistaken identity. Let me tell you, I hate, I don't even like when they report and say that. In a case of mistaken identity let me tell you i i hate i don't even like when they report and say that in a case of mistaken identity it's not all right if they got the right kid that was bad still yeah right i don't get that um but in a case of mistaken identity uh the the service the memorial service was two days ago. The going home service was two days ago in the Bronx. This happened in the Bronx in a bodega. There's footage out.

It's a lot of footage out there of the young man searching desperately for help, running in a bodega, running out, going back in, being dragged out before a stranger finally pointed him in the direction of the hospital. Just a real graphic, gruesome story where I guess if a little humanity, again, and just compassion was involved, maybe could have ended very, very, very differently. And I guess as the details kept pouring, I was sick to my stomach to learn that this kid was just going downstairs to to with five dollars to give to somebody for his mom and ended up going, you know, trying to go to the chicken store. That's a very common thought. When you're downstairs, let me just run to the chicken store real quick.

I'm sure it's a story has been to a million times. I'm sure the bodega he he's been to a million times. I'm sure the bodega he probably has been to a million times. So you run somewhere where you're semi-familiar with. Right. Just for that to happen like that. It was gruesome. I didn't watch very many of the videos. I want to say rest in peace to Junior.

I want to send my love, prayers, and condolences to his friends and family and all of his loved ones that has to be a very very very traumatic thing to experience um and i'm praying for all parties involved just like that one shot seven lives gone word one shot back to my point that i was making a few weeks ago uh also with the triple x shooting And we'll get into them catching some of his killers, too. But my point back then was real geography, whatever I called it. But this specific area in the Bronx where this happened at, you from the Bronx, are you familiar with this area? Yeah. Yeah, that's like less than 10 minutes from where I grew up at.

Now, I'm not so familiar, but I don't think that area is for play play. No, it's not. I mean, it's gotten, you know, it's always been a bad area. I just think now it's, you know, like it's just younger cats now that's really just running around and and uh you know the unfortunate thing is that again these are these are young kids man these are young boys that's running around and um causing violence like this in the neighborhood but i mean it's you know i mean it being from the Bronx, man, it just, you know, I didn't know this young kid, but it affected me. And I think it affected us.

Anyone that saw that video, it affected me. It affected all of us. We don't really realize how desensitized we've become. And, you know, I have friends that have gone to war and fought, you know, in the war, and they deal with post-traumatic stress disorder and i can see how people that have watched that video can deal with that as well his family his friends people that know i mean people that didn't know him i see they still talking about they weren't able to really sleep after watching that video they have kids and you know it's just we don't we don't really understand how real it is until it happens.

You know what I'm saying? And this is the reality for a lot of these kids running around the streets. These are the some of the things that they face every day of being in, you know, situations where shit like that can happen. I got to tell you, I seriously after after all of that news came out i seriously thought about moving my my younger brothers out of the bronx yeah because i can't imagine i can't i just can't imagine you know people say that but they really can imagine i can't imagine no it's crazy man and you know it's not only a bronx problem though too right it's true you say that and unfortunately a lot of places not just in the tri-state back a whole country is yeah there are areas in the world again back to my geography point there are areas in the world where the eye of society just does not value life there yeah unfortunately i'm trying to figure out a cool way to teach this lesson to my

young my young 17 year old because that's a tough one to learn the hard way yeah and especially shit now the kids are seeing these things too because the kids have wi-fi and the kids are have phones they they see all of this shit so So it's like, it's a tough spot. It's a tough spot. I want to shout out everybody that went over there. I saw that Carmelo and Lala were over there. Dave East was over there. I saw Cardi donated some money.

There are people that are really stepping up and doing what they can. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That has to feel good for the family to get this outpour of support in a time like this.

Did y'all see the picture of the other kid? There's a side-by-side going around. Yeah. They did look alike. I just don't understand wanting to kill somebody

and not confirming who you're looking for. That's what I'm saying. The whole situation is just... Back to that environment that they're in and back to more with the PTSD shit

and just where... In no way am I condoning or giving these kids a pass, but these kids are from an environment where that's normal. But you know... Where they don't think twice

about that type of thing. But you know what? You know know this is a gruesome story but it's not it's not it's it's kind of common at the origin yeah of it very much so uh where the kids is getting freaky at least some shit leaks like that's happening out here i check my kids dm these kids is wilding so yeah how people you never know how someone's going to respond to those times it's just hard it's just horrible when a very common thing turns into something so gruesome and horrific but that goes back to what i was saying about us needing to do more with the next generation the younger generation i agree like we we need to it's we got to do something man because these kids is out here just running around and it's like there's nobody showing them different ways and you know We got to vote. That helps. Vote locally.

And listen, I'm saying that because on the news this morning, and we're going to play outstanding soon. But on the news this morning, I heard one of them Republican niggas say that ain't too much wrong with kids being separated from their families because if you go to any nursery around the country, you'll hear those similar cries when the parent is leaving. I heard someone, a politician said that on TV. I'm also shocked. So just back to compassion and humanity they got permit patty running around now that that called the cops on the eight-year-old on the eight-year-old girl because she was selling water trying to be an entrepreneur very early in life you're calling the police white people are crazy come on defended white people on the show i don't like white people thanks thanks for us come on

rory that leaves you isolated on an island I'm not defending someone calling the police on an 8 year old selling water in the summertime

this shit is crazy man and then defending it with she did interviews defending this shit it's illegal without a permit oh come on well no wait

then she did some interviews saying that you know, she didn't know it was a little girl at first. She couldn't see. Like, she was just lying. Just lying.

She wasn't trying to call the cops on her. Like, she was saying a whole bunch of bullshit. Listen, man. Even if they continue to build up these neighborhoods

and put new condos in there, and I know it's starting to feel like y'all neighborhood, but it's not. It's not. You're a guest there still. I don't care if there's a gym in your new building.

You're not from Crown Heights. And even if it is your fucking neighborhood, have some goddamn compassion and be a human being like you're saying. You're still a guest there. You're not from there. These people's grandparents live upstairs. Yo, you know what? And they great grandparents live up there.

I'm glad that you said that. Rory leads me into a point. Let me shout out. First of all, let me shout out. A few weeks ago, I told Ted Smooth's son that I would shout him out. So, Avery, if you're listening, shout out to him. Now, off to your point, Rory, right? Like, we got back from vacation and we had to go pick Lexington up, who was staying at his grandma's house, Sin's mom, right?

And, you know, you pull up. I pull up to the block to go get him. And much like when I pull up to my dad's house, right? And this just reminds me of old school, but I like this. The whole block, the block police is the block. Right. The block is familiar with everyone and every car who should be on this block. Everyone who has family on this block, you are family. That's what it's like there.

I said, what up to at least 50 dope boys? I didn't know. And guess what? I felt like if something would have happened while I was bringing my child downstairs, I could have relied on them. That was the atmosphere. That's the atmosphere some of us are used to coming up in. So this new shit now. Yeah, yeah.

Close that bodega down. That bodega has to be closed down. Oh, yeah, for sure. Has to be. They're petitioning. They're boycotting. They're standing in front of it. It can't.

You can't stay in this community Yeah, hell no No, no, no Hey, for his sake They should close Word He shouldn't wanna open again Word

The same way Like if I was one of them One of them niggas That did that shit I would be shitting bricks In that Patterson jail Yeah Oh yeah

Nah, they not gonna do well In jail at all Nah So that happened Patterson jail. Yeah. Oh yeah. No they're not going to do well. In jail at all. So that happened. Project Patty Permit Patty happened. I feel like

something else. And the scary shit with that is with that bullshit what happens if Permit Patty someone places hands on her.

Now the whole neighborhood of people that live there and live by a certain moral code are now arrested. That is exactly why I was going to beat up the elderly white dude that lived across the street from me in Edgewater that called the cops every time I played music loud. That was going to get him fucked up. That was going to make for a bad day for him. I mean, you see, especially in Brooklyn, a lot of noise complaints from people, and it's like, this is what happens in the summertime in Brooklyn.

Right. White people, y'all got to chill out with them. Wasn't there a little meme or something going around telling white people when it's okay to call the cops? I think there was. There should be a handbook. It was pretty good. There should definitely be a handbook. I'm going to call the cops. I think there was. There should be a handbook. It was pretty good. There should definitely be a handbook.

That's not fun, I mean. And also why, you know, I think you can't do with everyone why I think police from that community should police that community and there should be

some type of setup. If you grew up in this neighborhood, you can police this neighborhood. Would laugh at that if someone called the cops on a girl selling water. A cop that grew up in that neighborhood

would be like, yo, if you don't stop wasting my time, I'm giving you a ticket. You're going to have to pay some shit for wasting our time. Which scares me now, and this is more local, sorry to people not from New York. By the Long Island Railroad in Jamaica, Queens, there's like six new high rises.

It's not close to the city. It's not like Brooklyn in the sense Williamsburg is. That's years and generations of people that have lived in that neighborhood. It's not trendy. I don't know how that's going to work out. There's no cool spots to these people that come from out of town.

Oh, wait. Not to interrupt you. Did y'all see the story that said Washington Heights is the new... I did see that. The new Williamsburg. Yeah, I saw that. No, it's not. They're not going to have very much fun up there.

No, it's not. It's just they're pushing it too much in New York. I know Jennifer, I know we've talked about this way too much, but you're now entering areas of not city cool. Oh, I work in 23rd, and this is why I do it. It's a good commute. You're entering areas of people that have been there for generations, and they're not with that shit.

Them Spanish people. You can't talk in that neighborhood. They ain't going to give a fuck about that Starbucks. Right. They ain't going to give two fucks about it. They don't even sell the type of coffee Spanish people like in Starbucks, to be honest. I'm being honest. They don't got no B type of coffee Spanish people like in Starbucks, to be honest. I don't be honest. They don't got no Bustelo.

Yeah, they only have Grande that. I just see a lot of problems happening, and I think luxury buildings are the new slumlords, but not in the same sense. You ever worry, you got a beef in your building or something? This thing is going hoggard.

No, I don't even live in New York. I live in Jersey. But I'm just seeing things, and I just don't think it's going to end well. And I think the people of that community are going to be at the expense. I think those are the people that are going to get arrested. They're the people that are going to get kicked out.

Is Rory running for mayor? He should. You're thinking body industry, man. He should. I'm a vote for you, man. Thanks, man. You can't be my running mate. Oh, no.

I wouldn't be trying to run. I can't run anywhere. I thought about that. Y'all ever think about that? If something happened and you just had to break out real quick, would you make it? That's why I go to the gym. I don't go to the gym to look sexy. I do it so I'll be all right if some bad shit happens.

Got it. Listen, if I'm scared enough, these wheels still work. That's all I do. Motherfucker. let two pitbulls run up in this motherfucker right now see how fast I get out of here

I'm squaring up two pitbulls hell no you're not squaring up in a bad pitbull 100% you will lose I will fight

okay your dogs that love you got you guys wait wait wait time out so you think you have a better chance of outrunning the pitbull

than I have of fighting one? Yes. Oh, you got me all the way fucked up. Okay. Yeah, I can climb some shit. I was going to say, there's a fence somewhere. I can get out of the car. I'm jumping two cars on top of one of those vans outside.

I'm straight. That sprinter will be all right. You sit here, you're going to get one swing. And when you mess with that, the next nigga's on your left bicep. And I'm going to drag them both to the nearest holes, and I'm going to spray them off of me. next nigga's on your left bicep and I'm gonna drag them both to the nearest hose and I'm gonna spray them off of me and commence to beating their ass.

This nigga's watching too many movies. That pimple lock his jaw in that fucking floor of yours. Where do you think this fight is breaking out at? There's a hose around, nigga. I said in here. There's a hose around.

There's a hose right out there. That's what I'm saying. It's gonna happen somewhere Hold on I can point you to the nearest hose Hold on Small hatin' I'm hatin'

The hose is not gonna do anything Hold on Yes it is So let me get this straight You're gonna drag Wait I think that is funny Two pitbulls to a hose While they have

Their jaws on your forearms In the scenario that you presented Shaking their heads That was the only option Because in your scenario No They just jumped on me and I was helpless.

In my scenario, I'm going to make it a good way to the hoes without two of them on me. That's what I think. Now, I don't... I want to hear why you think you can outrun a pit bull.

My nigga, I will get outside to that street on top of a car fast and you're going to drag two pit bulls to a hoes. I seen Thad make nine three-pointers on you in a fucking street ball. That don't mean shit.

What makes me think you can- That don't mean nothing. You told my dragon- You can't close out on the defender. How you going to run? You told my dragon two pitbulls, and then you had to turn the hose on. You're bleeding. You're losing blood while all of this is going on.

I'm not losing all my blood. This nigga's crazy. You're crazier than I thought you were. All right, so listen. Off them all real quick, because we have more sad. What the fuck was that? What else is on the docket, Jason? No, I just want to get this last shit off.

Apparently, I think more details were revealed in that XXX shit. I didn't want to spend my time bashing Pete and mixing the two stories. More details were revealed. It appears that he allegedly was targeted. There's footage of the gentleman and him in the store. He came out. They blocked him in with one car, pulled up with another.

Hood niggas, y'all know how this goes. Y'all have seen this movie before. Here I am to say, and I saw 21 Savage say it earlier, young men, young men and women women if someone has the drop on you give it up period live to see another day live to fight another day the drop is the drop for a reason it means they have one up on you uh So it's just really, really, really, really sad, really sad ending to that story. But well, not sad that they caught the niggas, but, you know, sad that it happened that way.

So rest in peace, Triple X. Shout out to his fans and his loved ones. All right. I think that was it for all of the sad news. I think I think that was it for all of the sad news, I think. I think. Okay. Let me just make sure. Making sure. Just making sure.

What are you going to do, B-Man? What else is there important that happened? Oh, wait a minute.

Let's get into this. Here's a happy topic. I got a happy topic. So I learned that I reached a new level of washed while out on vacation. So I come back and I start tweeting about it only for my friends to light me up in the group chat. So I'm confused. You guys are against a couple's only pool party. I'm with it. Do that shit on like a Sunday.

I'm with it. But it was funny the way you worded it. I'm single, bro. I can't come to that part. You said, hey, you guys or some shit. I like, hey, you guys. or some shit. I like hey, you guys. No, we asked in the group chat, Sin, can you please give Joe his phone back?

And then Joe replied with, hey, you guys, it's Joe. That wasn't really the voice I had. That's how it came along. I said, hey, you guys, it's Joe, but I know how this goes. And then you guys commenced to telling me that I was sin. You were sin. And that was Joe, his phone.

Well, sin had tapped into your mental already. So it was, it was sin. Well, nobody tapped into my mental.

okay. You want to throw a couple parties, definitely sin tapping into your mental. Not true. Okay. No,

a couple, I just felt like, I don't know, sin might be with the regular party. I felt like the pool parties was popping when I could really reach out to all of my female friends and get it popping.

But new washed relationship, Joe doesn't even have female friends, which means I have to rely on my male friends to bring female friends. And then that never happens. So what normally ends up happening is a bunch of girlfriends and just a bunch of single niggas with a few random thoughts scattered around. That's not fun for anybody. Shit.

Well, it's fun for. I have a blast. When the thoughts are scattered. It's fun to people watch. When the thoughts are scattered is when I usually have my best times. When there's mad couples. Fuck you, Tomo. When the thoughts are just scattered.

That's when I have my best times. Where they be scattered at? All over. Just looking. All over. All over the fucking place. Just looking. Mo, you have to no longer be looking for a thought, my nigga.

I'm not looking for them, but if I'm somewhere and they're scattered, hey. He's going to round them up. Yeah, I'm going to be like, hey, how y'all doing? What do you expect them to do when they're scattered? They definitely be scattered over here on Steinway after the World Cup games. Parks was telling us. You hear that, Parks Bay? Parks Bay.

Trying to get me in trouble. All right, so wait. Rory came in here, shitted on me for my couples-only pool party idea, and then told me he's searching an Airbnb in the new Washington Heights for all us to go be a couple at. That's what I said. It was in the Hamptons, but still. He's searching for Airbnb in the Hamptons for all of the couples to go.

We should actually just do Washington Heights instead. What are we doing? Save some money. We had a conversation prior to that before you decided to change the pool party into the couples pool party. The Hamptons is fun. What I'm saying is... So both of these are couples events only. Which is why we need the regular pool

party. Okay. We got to have a regular pool party. I stopped listening once I heard couples. I don't want to listen to that shit. There could have been a couple bitches. I don't know. You could come just bring somebody. Bring a friend. No. Y'all are like in real relationships.

I'm not going to bring somebody. That's the prime time to do that. No. Mo, what's the longest someone stayed at your crib with you? You know how a chick may stay over for one night? What's the longest she stayed? Blizzard. Probably about a couple days.

When the blizzard hit, right? That's just bad weather management. The blizzard this year was weak. No, you couldn't get no real cuddle action this year in the blizzard. Yeah That's just bad weather management No The blizzard this year was weak That's true Nah you couldn't get no real Cuddle action this year In the blizzard Yeah that shit was weak

It wasn't a real blizzard Yo you ever like one of your Your dude's Girlfriend so much You just kinda Urge him to be on the right track Do right by her Yo do right man

I didn't shit on you, though. You can pretend for a day. I would still go. You would come. I would just go and snap on y'all. Y'all look crazy. Look at y'all. Look at couples.

Oh, man. I would pay you to do that. Couples. We'll need some entertainment, boy. Yeah, work. Can you come, please? Yeah, definitely. I got to come laugh at y'all.

I was trying to tell the people that didn't know you that. Thanks, Joe. I was trying to tell the people that didn't know you personally.

If these niggas find parking on Dykeman again in the first episode, I'm not watching this shit. They always find parking. On Dykeman though. They be finding parking in front of Lotus. It was three different parking spots they found.

Because it was three different niggas. They pulled up three different times. You're not finding parking. Three niggas ain't finding parking on Dykeman at the same time. Not happening.

What were we talking about just now? Power. Power. All right. So, yeah, why? I feel like we don't know. It left off at a very climactic. Answers need to be given.

Yeah. I'm awake. That's why I think the first episode will be good, but we'll see. They're going to make us watch the next one. I'm with Parks. The first one should be good. The first couple, probably. The middle of the season is going to be lackluster because they're going to try to tell a story and then at the end there's going to be some crazy shit where 50 and lorenz tate meet up with rotimi and now they go kill everybody great they avoided angela again

I'm going to watch it. Dame Dash Lee Daniels, give it to me. What are we thinking? Give Dame his fucking money, man. Yo, what year when Kid Capri and Funk Flex are beefing Dame Dash, Lee Daniels, give it to me. What are we thinking? Give Dame his fucking money, man. Yo, what year when King Capri and Funk Flex are beefing and Dame Dash is running down on executives about money? Church. $2 million.

Yeah, it was kind of warm. Dame handled that. Someone said it was a church. It looked like church. That was the awards. He handled that really well, Dame did. He handled that. I'm surprised he didn't punch him in his face.

For how much was it? Two million? Two million dollars. You can tell Moll's body. It's the Rockefeller. I'm just saying. He is playing. I know Dane.

I'm surprised he handled it like that. Especially if Lee has been, Lee Dames has been like ducking him and not. I'm surprised if that being the first encounter. You could be illegally punched for two million dollars. Yeah, I'm surprised that in that first encounter that Dane didn't, that didn't get physical. I'm really surprised. Let's get2,000. Yeah, I'm surprised that in that first encounter that didn't get physical. I'm really surprised. Let's get physical. Physical.

Yeah. What you just said. The soundtrack played in the background? Yeah. That's all I got. Well, no, I appreciated Dame's caption to it, too. Why are you... You're making me look crazy.

Yeah. I don't want to stand here on camera and yell at you about the money you've owed me for this many years. And Lee Dames was admitting on camera Like I am wrong This is the only way that this will work now Which is unfortunate That you have to take it to that point That this is the only way

I'm going to get my money It's going to run down We're talking about two million dollars It's someone that got it too Yeah like give me my fucking money Stop playing with me man Luke Cage is out I'm cool on Luke Cage

Yeah I hate Luke Cage I liked the first season But I watched about Two episodes of this one And it got a little crazy I had to cut that shit off Yeah I'm cool on Luke They got like a fake

Viral camera guy It's real weird Yeah Yeah I'm fine It's nasty You're nasty Luke Wait Luke

It's a nasty award Yeah Luke Cage is nasty Yo we talked about The Staircase on this show right No you and I spoke about it We haven't talked about it On the show

The Staircase is A series on Netflix A doc Is it a doc or a series Yeah I gotta watch it It's a series It's another It's a docu-series

Another nasty man No but it's about What's his name What's dude's name? Because I've seen one million of these docuseries on this particular case, and I'm still glued to it. Well, this one was. Peterson, right? From my understanding, this is the same people that did Making a Murder.

Mike Peterson is an author, and he allegedly. Oh, no. He was charged with murdering his wife wife who he claims fell down some stairs. And it got really sticky for him when the prosecution found out that 20 years earlier his other ex-wife died from she fell down the stairs. That was his move? I mean. That's his swag. Yes.

That's a wild swag. That's a sick ass swag. I wouldn't use that. I wouldn't use the stairs. I wouldn't think of that. Joe use the stairs I wouldn't think of that Joe no I wouldn't do anything I wouldn't wait

I wouldn't use the stairs no I'm more of a baseball bad guy don't make a joke no I wouldn't that's not what I was saying but

what I'm saying is do you believe that he did that yes I was trying to put myself in those shoes. There's no way that happens twice. Two wives fall downstairs. Oh yeah, you couldn't be on the jury. He'd be gone. Anyway. No, no. I was watching all the points

that his lawyer came up. Nope. Nope. Two wives, two stairs. Mad blood everywhere. I fell down steps before. Word, I fell down steps. It didn't happen that way. Yeah, I was confused about that, but we'll talk about that off air. You know, that's the shit with lawyers and prosecution.

It really tries to go through all this bullshit to make you question absolute logic. It takes away the most major point that someone falls down a staircase and there's blood there like they was beat the fuck up. Yeah, I fell downstairs before. I mean, it hurt,

but it wasn't that bad. It sucks. And it was like, it was like a real pussy suburban staircase. Yeah, no. Carpeted?

No, but it was... Carpeted. It was some new, it was some like the new... If carpeted staircase take you out, listen man.

It's a rug burn, Jesus Christ. Carpeted staircase took me out. Yeah, but no, he gets a nasty award. I fell over carpeting the staircase sometimes.

But you were fine, though. You didn't fucking... Yeah, he bounced back. He wasn't in the hospital. No. Yeah. You have to fall down the steps at Yankee Stadium, them cement steps.

I was looking... You fall down them steps, you definitely going to the spit, my nigga. And his kids are a big part of it. And it made me think about the OJ case, too. It's got to suck to be a kid outside of your parent getting murdered. They be sitting there riding with this motherfucker. Like, my dad would never.

Fam. Yeah. Did you see the blood in your house? Your dad would. Your dad would. Every day. And he did. Every day he would.

Always he would. Always. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Bypass dad would. Every day. And he did. Every day he would. Always he would. Always. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Bypass Luke Cage. Skip that. You're not missing very much. Yeah, no. I think we covered everything.

You want to talk about? There's more on the docket? Oh, Rory wants to tell us that Ja Rule and Ashanti are putting an album out together. I forgot about that. I want Maul to tell us the point of the NBA Awards. They trying something. Trying something. I mean, I don't like it, but whatever.

Why don't you like it? It's just, I think when you give out these awards, I think it should be in front of your fans. It shouldn't be like a... Now, I think they do, you know... You got that energy for the Grammys? They give it to you at your arena, I think. But it's not the same.

It's like they already know you got it. It's kind of like, announce it there, like... Right. During, you know, the end of the season or next season, whatever. You know what I mean? It's a little crazy to me, but whatever. And the performances suck. Wait, who performed?

Travis Scott. Yeah. I was more so thinking about do you think they got it right as far as the actual awards. I don't feel like Lou Williams should be able to win a six-man award ever. Ever. I feel like him and Jamal Crawford is cheating. Jamal Crawford has been one of the best six men. James Harden, they owe the MVP award, too.

They did, too. Was he trying to, I didn't see the whole thing. I just saw the clips without the sound. Was he trying to out-mom Kevin Durant? It looked like it, Rory. I'll be honest with you. Damn. No, it wasn't even close.

Kevin's speech was. Of course, but still, James, don't bring your moms up here. I already did that. Come on. Yeah, no, we already saw a mom. But do y'all feel like James, he deserved it over LeBron, though? I mean, when they put the numbers side by side, it was like, uh. You can make a case for LeBron every single year.

Yep, and James Harden does deserve one for his play the last five years. Like, I feel like every year he's been. So this was the one they owed him, basically. Yeah. Like, they owed Russell Westbrook one. They gave it to him when he averaged the triple-double. He was going to get it. Sorry, James, you got to wait.

Then Steph bugged out. Sorry, James, you got to wait. Yo, so wait. The Thunder have had three consecutive MVPs that they drafted in three consecutive years. Yeah. That's sick. And one was a final MVP twice.

That's sick. My hot take, final MVP twice. That's sick. My hot take, yeah, the Thunder fucked that up. I know we talk about how great that organization is, but tonight... Do we? We do.

We say that they ran well. Well, I hear people say that. But to let those two MVPs walk out the door is crazy. And lastly, because I'm not staying on this basketball shit, but I do think that we might look back in a few years

and agree that the Sixers totally blundered this trust the process thing. That's interesting. If Ben Simmons doesn't develop a jump shot and faults don't turn into faults, then potentially you just got Ben Simmons and Embiid to show for the process. When you probably could- And they was already trying to move Markel draft night. They had him available for trade.

I'm just saying, you could have drafted Porzingis and Tatum. Yeah. In hindsight, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in a few years, we'll see how this turns out I do like the Knicks losing all of these games next season

that they plan to lose they're gonna win about 21 to 22 games and they're gonna try to draft one of them Duke niggas I'm not talking about the Knicks

cause we have a popular podcast and the Knicks are trash so I'll get off of them is there anything come on Roy tell us about the Ja Rule album

and the Jaunty shit I have the inside info. Yeah. No, Rory, I'm out. I've been to a lot of studio sessions. I think they're going to quiet Jay-Z and Beyonce. Wow. We got sleepers?

Are y'all checking for a Shanti Jaro album in 2018? I'm gonna listen. I think it'll only work if someone goes in there and says, guys,

let's just play to our core audience that likes music from the early 2000s and not listen to anything that is popular right now. I'm gonna be with Parks when he listens.

Well, Parks doesn't like anything, so. I'm still, but'm going to be with Parks when he listens. Well, Parks doesn't like anything, so. I'm still, but I'm going to be with him when he listens, though. I think that's about it. Freeway put out an album. I didn't have a chance to listen to it. Yeah, I didn't listen to very much music while I was away, but this week I'm going to go consume all the shit that I need to consume and be back with a thorough report. I'm really I'm gonna go consume all the shit that I need to consume and be back

with a thorough report I'm real anxious to hear some of this Meek music I ain't gonna lie I am me too

them snippets he bugged out oh way more important news Future got another one of Bow Wow's ex-girlfriends pregnant but he has one previously

no that's the same girl no no Ciara is his ex-girlfriend. Oh, yeah, Sierra. Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. And then I was trying to figure out this Blac Chyna Kardashian thing. You ever have someone like that that fucked several of your exes? Yeah.

That's weird. You don't think it's weird? No, not when their music is good. Do we have sleepers? That's all I want to know. Do we have sleepers? No. No, Joe Biden.

Is it cheating if I play a Tiana record? Yes. That's not a sleeper. Oh, come on. Someone probably slept on it. There's a few people who slept on it probably.

All right. Since you guys Are gonna cheat Oh yeah Is there a heart In the house tonight I found a tweet that Kind of Blew my whole mind So

The girl that's pregnant By future Is having A baby With her Baby father's Ex-girlfriend's baby father. You just confused the fuck out of me. That entire shit you just read left me dead in the living room.

Get it. Come on, Rory. Wayne definitely had to drop the beat on that one to make sure we understood. I thought it was ill. Took me a second. Wayne was good for the vibe. You definitely didn't think that real Gs moved in silence like lasagna. I know you didn't.

I can't spell lasagna now. I ain't going to tell y'all how long it took me this morning to spell itinerary. That's a tough word. I still struggle with Wednesday. Yeah, and I get mad when spell correct don't fix Wednesday. Come on, nigga. You know it's Wed-Nes Day. Wed-Nes.

That's the lane where he wins in. Yeah. Yo, who was I arguing with a while ago when I was like, that was on this podcast a while ago When I was like That was on this podcast A while ago Year one I was like Conscious Meek

Is a different Meek That's a better rapper Because he used to do that A little bit more Yeah and then he slowed down I guess like Rory said When he got successful A little bit more

So if JL got him back In his In his poverty bag In his I'm for the people Doing my shit Yeah I want to hear that Meek This might be Meek.

This might be Meek's best project. We'll see. No, that's definitely the pocket that works best for me. I want to hear the Meek intro on whatever he got coming because I know something is coming. I want to hear the Drake intro. Yeah, I'm hearing that's the smoke. I'm hearing. Oh, yeah?

Well, I heard some more. No, OVO Inside Information didn't say it on the actual segment Well no I'm saying that because I know Drake takes pride in intros That's true Yeah So

I think this push shit Is actually going to help him somehow Yeah I mean it's Drake Somehow Somehow it is I don't know how yet Well it makes people Of course they were already looking for the Drake album, but now

it's even more incentive to hear exactly what he has to say. Drake fans, y'all know y'all can't listen to that shit around pusher fans. Y'all can't listen to that shit around no clips fan.
