Yeah, yeah. I'm going to play it tomorrow, though. Somebody's going to get mad. Lex and somebody. All right, microphone check. 1, 2, 1, 2. We are back. Episode 168, if I'm not mistaken.

The Joe Button Podcast featuring myself. Parks is here. Rory is here. Erickson is here. Savon is here. Maul is not here. But we've put a Yankee fitted in his place. We have a Yankee fitted on his microphone,

and I put an ashtray in the seat that he normally sits in because I've been dying to ash on Maul. Maul is in Los Angeles. Y'all know the trade deadline free agency started July 1st. So Maul. He was hired as a consultant. Y'all know Maul is out there consulting with D-League players and things of that nature.

Oh, I want to call him, though, because he's really, really sad about all that's happening in the NBA. Yeah. We will finally see an emotional moment. Word. From Maul.

Over LeBron on the Lakers. This is amazing. Something that he has been calling for three years now. Let's call Maul so he can say hi. And he's so sad, we're going to call him back later

to antagonize him. Yo. Hi, may I speak to Jamal? All right, okay, okay. Okay, that's what we're doing. Is this him? Yeah, this is him. Oh, he is I and I am him right right all right listen more how are you man

i'm great man what do you want man well i want you to do the podcast that you're a part of but since you said fuck that uh you always say fuck that on weeks where we tend to you're our ovo insider and you are our NBA insider and you're not inside with us. Well, I mean, you know, it's just scheduling, man. Just album release parties. Yeah. No free agency.

Free agency starts the same time every year. So that's our bad because we really should move the podcast. And I'm sure there's a score post album release party in calabasas you know brandon jennings is putting the album out that maul is i would listen to brandon's album well he could probably spit maul two things that we want to hear from you about we haven't even gotten into the drake album yet but do you like it okay do you like it? Okay. Do you like it? Yeah, I like it. It's more and more songs are growing on me.

It's a couple songs on there that I'm kind of like not really, I'm not, you know, they're not for me. You know what I'm saying? It's like the Ratchet Happy Birthday.

I'm still trying to understand what Drake was trying to take with that. I thought that was your shit. You thought that was my shit? Yeah, because on that, in that picture when you was toasting with the Kardashians, you said that was your shit You thought that was my shit? Yeah cause when On that In that picture

When you was toasting With the Kardashians You said that was A birthday toast It was Khloe's toast Oh okay I see what's happening It was a little ratchet too

Yeah I never saw I never saw that side Of the Kardashians You never saw Nobody take them Yeah Maul keeps their Street cred to a certain

Oh wait Khloe fucks with Maul For street cred Yeah I didn't even think About that Rory I never looked at it like that You got to keeps their street cred to a certain degree. Oh, wait. Chloe fucks with Maul for street cred. Yeah. I didn't even think about that, Rory. I never looked at it like that. You got to. We're going to get all the Maul jokes out the way,

but Joe, I'm going with you guys' jokes. Because I've been patiently... It's the reason I have not been communicating with you when you was Maul. I've been sitting back watching your antics. I'm like, okay. I don't have antics, Maul. No, no, no. It's antics. Maul, you saw the one he just posted?

You saw his Shug button post that he just put up? Yo, Joe don't even wear snapbacks and he has a snapback on backwards. I don't know how Udi talked me into that one. That was a little L.A. stylist out there.

I mean, you got khakis on, rolled up, you got a fishy shirt on. Oh, you was really checking it out. I mean, they had Ian and Gucci

sneakers, so. Listen, that Revolt bag must be different. Bro, I don't know. I'm seeing a picture now floating around. It's not floating.

You got a red fedora on with the red shade. Yeah, dressing like Suge Knight after four days in LA. You went to LA and got put on the Bloods, man? What's up with you?

I'm not a bloodsucker. That's what I thought and he came in in all blue today so I'm confused. Oh, he false flagged? Yeah, he said something. The gang rules have updated, Mo. You can be both.

You can wear different colors. Okay, my bad. But listen. Takashi changed the whole game. Yo i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna expose the drake story that's what i'm gonna do i am the whole you're gonna expose what drake story i'm gonna expose why the whole side a is about the same person okay i don't like the word expose from a man. Can we find a new way on this podcast? I don't want to expose people.

I'm going to theorize. That's better. I have a theorize. Exposing is kind of a little chatty to me. I have a theory. So I'm going to just say my theory whenever Maul is off the phone. I just wanted you to know that I am.

Because I think that's a part of the reason why people are receiving this album like that. How are people receiving the album? I see a lot of mixed reviews. Yeah? I've seen very mixed. I see a lot of mixed reviews. Yeah, it's a lot of mixed reviews. For sure.

Why is Ian calling me? Get out of here, Ian. Yeah, but it's mixed reviews and the people I'm seeing the bad reviews from, they're basically saying it's because of the way they received the album and the narrative of the first side. It's like, it sounds to them like, oh, shit, wait. Maul? Wait. Did you just hang up on Maul to answer Maul?

Yeah, I think, no. Maul? Yeah, you hung up on me, bro. Damn, Ian, stop calling my fucking phone anyway um yeah the people that i'm hearing the mixed reviews uh the bad reviews from they're basically saying it's because the whole side a is they feel like push made that nigga rewrite this whole shit well they have a case and i'm not saying whether it's good or bad, but you have a case. Nah, man. Come on. A lot of that sounds like a reply afterwards. I mean, I don't believe that only because he said he was dropping in June in, what, April?

So when would he have to rewrite? Like, I don't understand. How much time would he have to rewrite? He still came out when he said he was coming out. He had to rewrite. He had to rewrite. He had to write some things to address some of the things that were said about him,

I think is what they're saying. I don't know if I'm right. Oh yeah, I mean a couple bars, yeah, yeah, I mean, I get it.

The direction of a lot of verses. Well, don't you worry, I've listened to that shit up and down all the way to LA. Oh God. Yeah,

and all the way back. I think I'm hearing it differently than some people. Yeah, all the way back. I think I'm hearing it differently than some people. Yeah. Well, depending on where you listen to it, it'll affect you differently. Like, L.A., listening to Drake is probably a different vibe than, like, in New York or somewhere else. Well, we're going to go through it. Maul, tell us, or I should call you later to dig into how sad you are about LeBron and the Lakers, no? Yeah, man.

We can talk about that later on, man. All right. I'll call you in like 40. All right. One. One. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews. That's what I'm seeing.

What did you guys think of Scorpion? I like it. I like like it i don't love it but i like it now just to tell the people parks has not liked any album that's come out this year except for the last 10 years except for the albums that he's worked on oh yeah he's worked on this one oh shit shocker there yeah congrats, man. Let's get the round of applause up in this bitch, man. That's a really good beat, too. That's one of my favorite songs on there. Round of applause to Parks.

Shout out to Preem. Go Preem. Even though niggas thought that was no ID, that's fucked up, Preem. I got you. People say that? Yeah, man. I saw a few people say it. Okay.

He did do, no ID, did do a couple joints. He did three or four. He did Emotionless, which is also- Emotionless they gave I saw everyone saying Just Blaze murdered that I was like damn They got everyone's

Cats don't read no credits no more Yeah Fuck Alright so you were saying You liked it I like it Didn't love it But you liked it

Well my thing was I'm not sad enough for Side B I don't think in life Side B is pretty sad Okay But I listened to it today On it's own And I was like, okay, this is a little differently. But coming off of side A, side B is a little tough to digest, I feel like.

Hard left. Hard left. Okay. I understand that. Rory. I think side A. I know you are out at a day party somewhere, gyrating your fucking hips to emotionless. It's a good song.

It is. I don't know you gyrate your hips to that. There's not much on there for the dancing and smoking hookah too. That's my only issue. There's not.

And my feelings is really the only I think hit in that instance that's making people twerk. But I think side A is really the only one to do a deep dive

and really dig into because side B is what it is. It's very similar in sound. It's for a specific time. There's not much. It's just good. It's good when you're around chicks. That's what it's for.

I think side A is the only one to really debate. It sounds like it's more like when you're not around chicks because you're sad about them. To me. I like to be sad when I'm with sad women. Oh, okay. It really helps the vibe. Okay. Hmm. Bring some girls over you're sad about them. Well, I like to be sad when I'm with sad women. Oh, okay. It really helps the vibe. Okay. Hmm.

Bring some girls over and get sad? Yeah, it works. Trust me. It does work. If you invite a sad chick over and pretend to be sad, too. Tears get them wetter than you think. No pun. My girl's pretty happy, so.

Play a sad song in the background. A little Sam Smith on them. That's too sad. That's my sad go-to. That's way too sad. That's going to tug on the him. That's too sad. That's my sad go-to. That's way too sad. That's going to tug on the emotion strings. That's way too sad.

Oh, won't you? You tell a sad bitch to stay with you? She's probably going to stay. She's staying. She's staying. All right. So I'll start with what

I didn't like because there was a lot that I liked. But I think Side A is more of a playlist than more life. The cohesiveness on Side A. Let's make it a time to put his little deep dive together here. Side A to me is a bunch of good songs. No cohesiveness, just here's a bunch of songs

addressing everything y'all been wanting to hear. I've seen that word floating around a lot in the timeline, cohesiveness. Yeah, these fans will pull a word out, won't they? And run with that word. For the next 90 years. More Life was the playlist, but it felt like it flowed together better. It did not. To me, it...

I liked More Life. I might be one of the few people that... I liked More Life. A lot. Yeah, but you ain't't gonna say it flowed better when a verse from Spice and Shottas was

at every point yeah and it worked it did pocket and then it went to the rap shit and then it went to the army shit no they didn't the British verses niggas took the Spice verses off

no no I didn't say I liked the UK rappers but they were in a specific point where they should have been and I'm not dissing UK rappers but niggas are not buying the Drake album. We're trying to hear the Canadian guy.

Not the London guy. But no, I just felt like... Oh, you wrote your deep dive down? No, I have the track list. I know, I saw it, but still, I'm going to make fun of you. Okay. Like, survival to nonstop to elevate. While I like survival...

I thought it was too short for a Drake intro. Now maybe I need to pull up the track list. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the beat. I thought it was too short for a Drake intro. Now maybe I need to pull up the track list. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the beat. I like what he was getting to. But two minutes, Drake... I like the intro. No, it's cool, but it's two minutes. How do you feel about Non-Stop? I love that Drake

put minimal features on this album. I really appreciated that, but I think that one could have had the 2 Chainz verse. That could have had the juvie feature. I think that could have been the southern posse cut. Juvie? Juvenile? Yes. I hear juvie on that beat. I'm with you. I'm rolling.

I'm just trying to find this album. Don't mind me. At first, I didn't really like that song, but it seems like that might be a jam. That might go. The beat is you just can't deny the beat. The beat's very plain. It's just a bass and drums. What song are we talking about? Nonstop.

Nonstop. The second record. All right. I skipped that record the very first time I heard it. Yeah. It's for the car. But as it was left on, I enjoyed it. And then I got around some women, and that was their favorite song.

Yeah. Then I got around some niggas that didn't like track one and thought that the album should have started at nonstop. And I was like, I would have been very turned off by that. That's not how Drake starts his albums. Yeah, you got to have the Drake rapping intro. He has a very good track record with intros. Yeah. So that's how I felt about nonstop.

But I think I need to hear that somewhere. I think hearing it out will change. I suppose the intro was two minutes because he felt he had to address a lot on the album. Wait, you thought two minutes was long? No, I thought the intro was too short for a typical Drake intro. Yeah, okay. I liked it, though. I liked what he said.

So where were we at? Non-Stop, yeah, I just feel like that could have done the feature. And I'm kind of an anti-feature guy on a lot of artists that I think are very talented. Because I think that waters down a lot of shit. Do you like the fact that there weren't too many features? Love that. And I love the features that he did pick. Michael Jackson.

That was The Weeknd. Okay. That was not Michael Jackson. I didn't want to be the one to say it. He should have just put The Weeknd on that shit it probably would have been a better record if that's The Weeknd

yeah because he could have done harmonies I see what they was trying to do and I saw what 40 was trying to do with the beat that it was very Michael-esque in the background

but it just I don't know it didn't really it's cool it's definitely not my favorite on side B what are the highlights for you? It's cool. It's definitely not my favorite on side B. What are the highlights for you?

Emotionless is definitely a top 10 Drake record, and that's saying something. Of his career? I think so. Wow. I don't know if I'm going that far, but it's a dope record. Yeah, I'm not going that far at all. He's got too many records to immediately put something in the top 10. His discography is a little too nuts. Yeah.

I can't do that. It's nuts, but I'm immediately put something in the top 10. His discography is a little too nuts. Yeah. I can't do that. OD nuts. But I'm still putting that in the top 10. I'm not saying it's low. It's not in the one through three. But I think it's somewhere in the nine, 10 region. One day I'd like to hear your list. Word.

I'd like to hear it. Because I wouldn't get to that one until 20, maybe. Maybe. He's got a lot of songs. A lot of great songs. Top 40, maybe. Maybe. He's got a lot of songs. A lot of great songs. Top 40 maybe. I can get to 40 Drake songs before that Emotionless record, even though that's a great record.

Mariah doesn't even sound that good on Emotional. Mariah sounds better on Emotionless than she does on the original. All right, so let's attack that, too, because I've seen that. Has he set the bar too high for himself? Like, this is all good music. He did that two albums ago. This is all good music. I just don't think it can hang with any of his best music, but that's okay for me.

I'm really happy with this album. Yeah, me too. But I would also put it towards the bottom half of his discography. I like it more than Views. Views is probably my least favorite Drake album. Yeah, me too. But I would also put it towards the bottom half of his discography. I like it more than Views. Views is probably my least favorite Drake album. See, for me, I didn't like Views. I wasn't such a big fan of More Life. I hated What a Time to Be Alive

and I didn't like If You're Reading This is Too Late. I don't count What a Time. That was a bunch of future throwaway records. Especially in hindsight, that was a great album to me. That's probably his second best album. What a Time to Be Alive? No, no. If You're Reading This is Too Late. It aged way better than I thought it would. I hindsight, that was a great album to me. That's probably his second best album. Would it sound to be a lot? No, no. If you're reading this too late.

It aged way better than I thought it would. Yeah. I mean, there's a middle section that's a little drab, but there's some jams. I think coming off, what was before that? Nothing was the same.

Which was one of his better albums. To me, that's his best album. I know I'm... Nothing was the same? You got a lot of wild Drake takes. That's fine. That's a very concise album, though. That's his shortest album.

It's a great album. I think it aged better than Take Care of Two. Just my opinion. This nigga's had a lot of time. Really get his thoughts together with this one. Well, I like Drake. So what do y'all think about the content on site? You know what?

Let me just get into what I think about it. Because I want to play some of this stuff. Let's start with what did y'all think of 8 out of 10? The only response to Pusher I think we will ever get is 8 out of 10. I liked it. It's very 90s.

Let's address that right now because that's kind of what my theory is about. I don't. Drake never had a problem with Pusha. Yeah, let's get this out the way. Drake never had an issue with Push. He's a Pusha fan, I think, right? Yes.

It's his favorite rapper. Yes. He had one mad interview. He said it. He bought a microphone off eBay that was fake signed by push so so now that I have heard this Drake album and clearly that push of this moved something over there it did for sure but now that I've heard Drake's side this is what I'm thinking and what I'm thinking has me receiving the album differently than probably people that

aren't thinking this way so I think that Drake was in was somewhere with Kanye I think that they were talking about stuff

as they were working. Okay. I think that Drake probably let Kanye hear a good amount of what he was working on because that's what artists do. Right. True. right true I think that this is while his June date was announced Drake because he never said June what he always just said June right I think he then left Kanye and I think when he went back to Kanye, there was a whole bunch of people around. Room full of rappers.

Okay. And I think that when he went back to Kanye, Kanye then got his June rollout plan popping. I think that everything Kanye has done in the past month with that bullshit was totally centered around whatever information he got from Drake before he departed. That's what I think. So I think when Drake left the second time. I think that's when a diss record came out.

Drake. Duppy freestyle. And keep in mind, Drake wrote on Yikes, which was on Ye. So they had to have been somewhat in the same vicinity. Some niggas was together. They was together somewhere, man.

Listen, Drake can't say none of this shit. And I'm just guessing. But they was together, man. Interesting theory. So Drake puts this freestyle out that has nothing to do with Pusha T. Until the very end of it where he says, and Push, you're welcome

for this extra 20 that I'm about to sell you. It's definitely Kanye West centered. I'm aware of my stature. I know that I'm powerful like that. That's when he addressed Push. It was a Kanye diss the whole time. But also in response to the last record on Push's album keep that still in the storyline Push did the it was written like Nas but it

came from Quentin like there were shots on Daytona but listen to me it came out the next day my story covers that because in my story when Drake went back the second time, that's when there was this big June announcement of albums where the Pusha album is. So then the Pusha album came out. And then he heard it. And he's like, what the fuck? Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. Are you joking?

You have got to be. I just fucking left you niggas, man. Yeah. Well well he said that in the diss I was just over there writing all this shit I know but now that this album is here

I think Drake said all of that in this album I think he said all of it I think that the sequence

I'm only talking about Sade I think that and I've listened to this a lot and I DM'd him. Pause. Well,

because I need certain things confirmed for me. I was hearing 8 out of 10 very different. Hmm. The second verse in 8 out of 10

really is the second verse that probably matches with the first verse of Emotionless. That's probably that song. But he broke it up and the second verse that probably matches with the first verse of Emotionless. That's probably that song. But he broke it up and the second verse is cool. Let's get into some of this shit. Let me start with 8 out of 10.

Boy Wonder on the beat. Great beat. Y'all know, fuck the great beat. Y'all know what Drake does when he gets with Boy Wonder for some reason. There's a pattern there. He likes to do that with Boy Wonder. This is how I heard this record. Too rich for who?

Y'all just got rich again. Already you have my attention, young man. Kanye diss. When rappers drop the beat out and start the record just with themselves, there's normally a reason for it. Yes the record just with themselves. Pay attention. There's normally a reason for it. Yes. So he got me.

All right. All right. I'm listening. That caught me, too. Who likes to kill their friends? He's not saying sorry. He's not apologizing. Oh, yeah.

That's a wonder. He's not apologizing. Oh, yeah. Let's go, Wanda. I'm going to stop this record the whole time. The whole time. Let me bring that back. All right. Saying why we didn't get our response. I think this is obvious, response. I think this is like obvious to us. I think that matters.

Does that mean anything to anybody else in this room? Because he had me on the edge of my seat. A what? Now listen, Drake since Best I Ever Had has told you that you was going to go, your brother, everybody was going to buy his shit. You know, the gangsters and the nerds, everybody. You're starting the record telling me you're not saying sorry that niggas was broke and then got money again. You're not.

Your nanny, your sister, your wifey. With a long delay. I was waiting for the next word in the hook. Actually, the first time I heard this hook, but it just ended with wifey with a long delay. That was telling to me.'m just gonna play that could also be the push too because the biggest thing that split that whole shit up was allegedly push a set yeah that was what pissed pusher off so i think it's a kardashian and pusher thing at the same time like could be pissed you off your girl is still gonna listen to my could be but i, but if I want to get messy for a little bit, I remember when Chris Brown was getting out of jail

and he screamed on Carucci for something having to do with Drake and Calabasas or Toronto. I don't remember. There's history between Aubrey and the Kardashians. I don't think I'm making that up. Which, when we're done with 8 out of 10, I want to go to the can't take a joke. Because I think it was addressed there, too.

But go ahead. This whole first fucking side is addressing this shit. Every other boy. That's how he started that freestyle, by the way, the Duffy freestyle. Max said they only bless when they attach to you, don't you? I gotta breathe real deep when I catch your attitude. That brings me to the Duffy freestyle. I got a whole nother level that I could tap into.

All right, you talking that shit. Somebody said they only bless when they attach to you. That's kind of interesting. that reminded me of Big Sean featuring Drake Blessed that's what I got from that so I was already thinking that from the hook and the intro and now your first

four bars I'm still there I'm rolling Deadbeat we got it and the product is still the best, though. It's only good in my city because I said so. Reminds me of when Drake and Kanye were beefing. Well, when nobody knew they were beefing, but they had behind the scenes beef. And then didn't he bring Kanye out at OVO Fest? He did, yeah.

That's what that bar is about. He had to dead their alleged beef. It's only good. He bodies this flip of the word good throughout this whole song so much so that if you're not really paying attention i wasn't paying attention you just think he's using the word good right he ain't just the 50th statement i had to cop a field like presto voila never a matter could i should i kiss my son on the forehead goodbye as luck would have it i've I Kiss my son on the forehead Then kiss your ass goodbye

As luck would have it I've settled into my role as the good guy I guess luck is on your side Owls stand for what? Owls are signs of luck, right? I have no idea. I don't know. Yeah, I think it is though.

Say, Von, Google that because I might be totally off base here but I'm sure I've heard that from somewhere. Keep it to yourself though. No, Google that. Because I might be totally off base here. But I'm sure I've heard that from somewhere. Keep it to yourself though. No. Because that's really important in this. What I think he's saying is this. They're switching camps.

Ironic. I'm the good guy. And luck is on your side. That's what I think he's saying here. That is what it means, right? Thank you, Savant. Yeah. And I had the deep dive.

Hold on. Hold on. Nah, look, listen. This verse right here. We don't care about this. Drizzy bout to drop. The game is in disarray. Get all that fucking seven track shit out of here.

I'm coming last. Great. Got it. Come on. Get into the second verse. Reset. He's telling us. Which back to the point that I think he had to reset A lot of his album

After that whole shit happened So what I'm saying I appreciate the genius I like the nuance here I didn't catch it yet So I like it Three sets of three years

That's that room That's that room That he went back to That's Kanye's reign too Three sets, three years Yes We rolling He's confirming it

Yeah He's saying yo I went over there I let you hear all my shit You rolled all this bullshit out Y'all are Y'all are fucking watching me Y'all are keeping tabs on me

And y'all are fucking basing All of your moves Of what I am doing Yeah I thought that was rather obvious uh that whole good side switch go ahead rapper brain i didn't catch none of that yeah the rest of that was pretty obvious though yeah no you could have missed me with the plow shit then but a phenomenal record well i mean that just tied it together

yeah it tied it from the intro to the outro of that of this record masterful to me masterful because i was around music heads right like i was around music geniuses they didn't know either. Let's get to Rory's record. Let's get to this. This is really part one of that. This whole album in sequence, side A,

is about all of this shit. Where we at? That was eight out of ten. Right after eight out of ten is Mob Ties, and that whole song is about them calling jay prince yeah if you didn't know just listen to it again that's all i'm saying let's listen to this together like a family real quick happy fourth of july everybody out there this nigga killed this beat hey let me tell you something the second that this came on you knew the beat Was gonna be crazy Alright this is more

This is more the sentimental Explaining Less aggressive Don't hit me when you hear this And tell me your favorite song It's basically like a 444 beat That got mixed Don't do that Parks

Don't do that Yo why has Parks been hating On the fucking beats on that album? Because they were mixed. They were mixed. They were purposely lowers. You hear Bum come on at the party, man. That shit is like...

Don't tell me how you knew it would be like this all along. Oh, so stop there. Obviously that billboard, we had speculated it was a reply to either push or Kanye. Back in here, don't link me. We're still not friends in this instance.

Because I know Kanye did that I'm all about love bullshit and I deaded the beef. So you know Kanye planned on reaching out to Drake after he heard this album. Fam, niggas have hated Kanye for a long time. When I say niggas, I mean Drake. have hated Kanye for a long time. When I say niggas, I mean Drake. Drake has hated Kanye probably since 2000, since what's that first song?

That shit that, they had beef with the video Kanye shot damn near. At best I ever had. Because he ruined that shit. And then never shot another video again. He never shot another video. He fucked Drake video up and bounced. The nigga been sabotaging Drake for a long time wait

and then what's that find your love hey the mix on find your love let's listen to the mix on find your love real quick so we could get into how kanye has been sabotaging drake for a while now me and ken was talking uh yesterday everyone really hates kanye west right now hove hove did that verse just to spite Ye yeah I'm not saying him and Drake hate each other it's I think

a friendly competition at this point but he did that to spite him yes he did I like that Hove is spiteful I mean he's been

petty and spiteful his whole career I like that about these guys but it's kind of nuts that all the direction towards Kanye

is hate at this point yeah this makes this makes it bad that all the direction towards Kanye is hate at this point. Yeah, this is Mix It, Mix It, Jack. That's a cabalico. Holy shit. What's that speaker? Go back to Emotionless and see the difference.

Wait, why did he do this to Drake? I'm more than just an option. Drake tried to save it, too. I'm more than no nigga. That's static.

Static. You can't bell biff Devoted static nigga Something not Plugged in on the way He trying to hey hey Over the static No sir buddy

That's fucked up All right back to emotionless Don't link me No cap Oh I've been dying To say no cap I be using the wrong Don't link me Don't link me nigga No cap. Oh, I've been dying to say no cap. I've been using the wrong script.

Don't link me, nigga. That was spicy. There's a couple spicy lines. Drake is pretty spicy. That whole catch an attitude line on 8 for 10. He killed his verse, though. Wait, hold on. I know the truth is you won't love me until I'm gone. And even anything that comes after is moving on. He killed his verse the way Ola. Time out.

Here we go. Here we go. More Kanye. I love it. Man, yes. Yes. Hold the fuck up, man! It's like seeing how fucking magic works. That's ill.

That's hard. That was hard. Kanye's magic. Now if you know how it works. Then it's kind of trash, right? When you know how it works Then it's kind of trash right When you know how the trick works Damn yo That's push That's push

How come we don't care Drake That's back to Kanye brave I gotta bring my brothers else I feel out of place we don't care that's back to Kanye like that it's written all on a face I don't know how I'm gonna make it out of here clean can't even keep track of who plays for the other team iconic duos ripping split at the scene throne good-hearted people are taking it to that's push leaving me a limbo to question push is a great guy but that that's, but that's, let's not joke for a minute

because that's what he's saying. Yeah. Like, but fans, people might not know, Push is a great guy. He's a nice guy. Outside of him,

his rap is, when he's not rapping, nobody ever has a reason to diss Pusha T. That's why I don't like the Pusha T diss. Not that I don't like the diss because he Pusha T. That's why I don't like the Pusha T diss. Not that I don't like the diss because he killed the diss.

Bodied the diss. I don't like niggas bullying niggas. I don't like that. That's hip hop though. No, it's not hip hop when you call a nigga over here to work on

all of your fucking projects you fucking nasty nigga. Oh, you're talking about Kanye. I was referring to Pusha. But look, Rory, I come to your your studio we hate each other but we both so big that we have to do this right I come to your studio and you got the whole squadron there I'm working with you I leave you give a nigga I look up to who's arguably a top 20 pin, top 30 pin ever,

all of the info on me, to end me two weeks, three weeks before my album? Who is your beef with? Is your beef with Push? No. Or is your beef with Kanye? No, it's with Kanye.

That's why all this shit has been directed. I never really wanted to hear a Drake response to Push. I got exactly what I've been looking for for nine fucking years. Drake addressing that nigga and going to get some more niggas who don't like that nigga and addressing him too. Some of your friends. I love all this petty. I love when Drake and Kanye and Jay-Z do petty shit. I'm wrong?

No, it's great. I believe. Leaving me to ask, what's their motive in making peace? Yes, there was motive in making peace, Drake. Yes. Stop asking these fucking stupid questions. Yes, nigga.

He always asks these questions like it's a fucking moment of clarity. Yes, nigga, they're using you. Get out of Wyoming. Run. The fuck? Take your Blackberry. fucking moment of clarity. Yes, nigga, they're using you. Get out of Wyoming. Run. Take your Blackberry. Get out of there. And Ye has been very vocal about his fear of Drake. Yet? I don't

know why Aubrey went to Wyoming. Why are you playing your music for this? Fuck that nigga, man. Hey. Whatever. that nigga man hey whatever anybody I mean anybody like me see I don't want to hear that shit from you Drake you know you can't trust no damn Kanye leaving me to ask not nigga you don't put future some I on the phone

not rapper future guy alright so this where he dug in his sentimental bag, right? This was the ill flip. Wait, so now. To distract us all. No, so this is the verse where he was reading all y'all comments after that push and freestyle. Of course. Oh, and he was clicking on y'all pictures. Of course.

He was reading y'all. He is so spicy. What is Scorpion? Don't call him a Scorpion. He is a Scorpion. That's not some Scorpion. Just play the song. Everyone you call him a Scorpion.

I was talking about the album. No, but you have to be in astrology a little bit. Scorpios? You started that DM with what up, Scorp? Scorp, don't shorten Don't shorten Scorpio Scorpi, no I get mad about that

That was confusing It was hard. Don't try to understand the haters. Get out of here, Drake. I'm rolling with them. That's the truth right there. Yeah, but don't try to rationalize the haters. Just get mad at the hate, and that's it. You're young.

You're home alone. You're probably going through something that I don't understand, and you're lashing out. Yeah. I'm on board. If Trent don't stop this fucking Mr. Perfect bullshit. He's the good guy. He sent them kids back to my house when I had the rocks. He's a fucking good guy.

Which was a great moment. Oh, man. Thanks, Drake. Oh, we know all the same girls. I was going to say, did you see actual pictures of girls in your head as this verse was going? Yes, yes. I was going to say, did you see actual pictures of girls in your head as this verse was going? Yes, yes.

I was putting names to bars on this. Yeah. Hey, let's stop this for a minute. Women, y'all got to stop saving pictures. What do they do? They save it as a draft. Yeah, you save it in the drafts. Y'all got to stop doing that, that whole vacation.

Some of y'all, y'all wasn't going for two months. Y'all really drag out these drafts. That's number one. Number two, ladies. Or y'all just not buying new bathing suits and you're wearing the same one for six months. Oh, that happened one time. I was in a strip club in one city and seen a stripper and she had a certain little stripper outfit on. Then I saw her in a different city the next night.

She had the same outfit on. And she definitely didn't wash it. Yeah, no, she's nasty. She gets a nasty award. What were we talking about before strippers? Women saving pictures. Oh, yeah, women. Back to y'all.

Regular shit. I've recently learned about Facetune. The fuck is Facetune? See? I know about that. Women and their tricks, man. They're tuning their faces now? They're tuning their faces.

It's like auto-tune for face. No, they're tuning everything. Hold on. They're throwing T-Pain on their face? On everything. They are T-Pain-ing everything. I don't know who's who. That's nuts.

How come men don't get little gadgets like that for us? Well, can you explain what it is? I still don't know what it is. It's auto-tuned for your face. It's auto-tuned for your... It's a... So makeup. If you're a little pitchy.

No, it's not makeup. It's an app, I think. Okay. It's what women do to their pictures, man. Yeah. All right. That's why they all look the same.

I just thought they was all going to the same surgeon. Well, that too. Well, they're doing that. And just picking. You know how we pick out what we don't, but they have the barbershop shit with the different haircuts? I just picture that's what's in the surgeon.

Like, yeah, let me get that. They all want the Kim Kardashian. Let me mix the Lyra ass with the Kim nose. That's what they be doing. I think they just be pointing at shit. And depending on the doctor is depending on the job they get done. I can tell when you go to little bullshit doctor ladies because he don't love your body. He put the mark, the little scar anywhere on y'all.

Y'all make any move and I see the scar. I'm like, damn. Yeah, when your belly button move up to your nipple, you definitely went to the queen's basement for yours. I was talking about when it looked like you got stabbed with like mad chopsticks in one spot. But then he fucked it up. So that one mark is in mad different spots. Yeah, then they just get a tattoo over it. The super big tattoo. I know the game.

Oh, yeah, y'all. Yo, I used to think the chicks with the super big tattoos was just being artsy. No. Nope. They're not being artsy. Cover-ups. Face-toon for the scars. They wasn't hiding their face from the world.

They wasn't hiding Their face from the world They wasn't We know her too Drake We've dated her before Yeah word Uh oh Listen man He bodied that line You know why That was genius though

Because Drake just said A whole bunch of shit That 100% of the world would be like, yes. No, I agree. Thank you. Someone's finally saying it. Right. And then threw in the kid part while we were agreeing. I know, but yeah, that's why I stopped that shit right there. Hold up, Drake.

Hey, let me say that you killed this verse, my nigga. This verse is hard. This song is flawless to me. But'm not rolling no no no no no it was a good hiding the world from my nigga don't get out in this world the world gonna still be here nigga the rest of us didn't particularly care what Drake does with his kid. That's his own personal business. But the people that generally cared will fall for that line. Well, yeah. Yeah, I don't care.

I think it's none of my business. Yeah, I never cared what Drake did with his... I just thought you're hiding a child is one of the funnier lines I've heard in hip-hop. Yeah, my niggas hide kids all the time. Yeah, that's regular shit. Duh. I am hiding a child. Shit, you're making it mad hot right now.

Yo, but all right, so to the next. And we know Drake was not hiding his child. He was hiding his baby mother. There's a big difference. Yeah. Yeah, the fucked up part is that the baby. Which is also regular too. We're not super regular.

Yeah, listen, the problem for men is always that the baby is attached to the mom. Yeah. Like, we want the baby. Like is always that the baby is attached to the mom. Yeah. Like, we want the baby. Like, Drake said single father on here. That might have been the first time I ever heard that from a nigga that probably didn't have custody of the baby. Yo, the first, no, when he said that, for some reason, I thought the chick died. I was like, damn, he's widowed. No, I didn't mean it that way.

I don't give a fuck. Don't say nothing. That's how, you're a single father. That's how it sounded to me. I know. This podcast is creepy sometimes. That is true. So listen, to the people that feel a way about Drake keeping his baby from y'all.

Y'all are weird. Super. Y'all are goofs. Can I just say I like the fact that that word is like a word in hip hop now? A goof. He dissed you somewhere in there with that. No, he didn't stop it. He said, rap is full of a bunch of...

Disneyland, mouses and goofs. Yeah, it was you. And I said, there's no such word as mouses. Wait, so who's the goof? No, it could be me. Yeah, damn. Ball? Fuck.

I thought it was Ak. Oh. I mean, if I had to think that that line was about... But I don't think that line was me But I don't think That line was me I don't think he was Talking about A.J. Yeah but it's fun To say it was

Shut up Alright so now He's telling us Why he don't tell us About his kid Alright Bring it dude I just called my dogs

The nigga that I love Alright we got it Swag Huh? Swag Yo Oh that's what I keep Trying to say To the people that I love. All right, we got it. Swag. Huh? Swag. Yo, oh, that's what I keep trying to say. To the people that felt a way about Drake Hines' baby, right?

I, too, was shocked by the news. I reserve the right to be shocked by the news, as do you. What other things in life have you been shocked at? I was I was surprised Which is related to shocked I reserve the right to be surprised As do you guys I think that's where my rights stop Yeah

It definitely deserved a word That's crazy Yeah Deserve that Yeah That's about it though Yeah but that's it That's all it got for me

Whatever they do Now I really did enjoy When the album dropped, his child's mother, Sophie, posted a picture somewhere on Instagram. Of the album? No. The link? Of her and the baby.

Or just her, I don't remember. But the caption said, well, one of the hashtags was champagne mommy. Swag. She just changed her name. That's why you got to be careful with how you poppy. Remember? Because I just was cracking on Ice. I wouldn't say that. Ice was running around being officially Ice, making every girl be officially.

That's right. Yeah, that's true. That's a fact. Now here comes champagneagne Papi. Your new Champagne Mommy was coming. Yeah, but he didn't say not mean things on March 14th, but it didn't feel like she was Champagne Mommy at the end of that song. Yeah.

I didn't feel that. I thought that was. No, Joe Biden. No, Warrior Miles. Didn't feel like the connection was really there. Good song, though. Real good song. But then that was the other thing.

So then you go and you close the album with like that. I saw that coming, though. You have to close it with just, he mentioned the kid here and there, but you had to do the full story to really clean your tracks, especially when you're now the good guy. All right.

And you have to get people to sympathize with the, I wanted a family. I haven't made it to that song as much because it's buried so deep and plus the end of side B particularly. Could have let Fonsaoy cook a little more then but I get it. You did well.

Yo, Ty Dolla Sign killed his shit. Yeah, and his little ad-libs on Sutter Choice were great. His ad-libs on Jaded were crazy.

I love that record that he has on there toward the end. I love the Weekend record. They should have just called it a Weekend record. That'll probably be the single. I thought he did good. What's he projected to sell? I think the Weekend record. They should have just called it a Weekend record. That'll probably be the single. I thought he did good. What's he projected to sell?

I think just under a million. Nah, he's platinum already. I saw it. 800,000 somewhere. I thought it was all projected. Maybe actual physical sales or something. I don't know how it works anymore, man. Yeah, it works. That's true.

He sold a shitload of records, though. He b-balled II Men to every Spotify playlist. Did you see that? The nigga said I got 20 for both. Well, I got 40 for both like Chappelle. That's 20 and 20.

That's a lot of money for a project, man. Yeah. Even if he's lying, he put some extra sauce on it and he got 10 and 10. Battle rappers today. It's still a good it. He got 10 and 10. Yeah. Battle rappers do that. It's still a good day. Yeah, it worked.

That's a good day at work. Word. Yeah, I'll take that. I know we've been complimenting him, but did anyone catch quite possibly the funniest line in hip hop history on Mob Ties? I am not with the rah-rah. I am a da-da. I think I missed that one.

Well, you should go back. No, he said that. And listen, so you ain't really getting the side B, but he's doing some really weird noises. He is doing some weird noises on this album. There was one time

he said the girl was getting wet and he made like a Is it ad-lib? No, in the lead That's the scorpion sound But everyone in here Parks, I know you've seen it I'm sure our listeners have some friends that are rappers. But watching rappers do ad-libs in the booth is quite possibly the funniest fucking thing on earth.

Especially if you're not in the control room, you're in the booth. If you're in the booth and you can't hear what the rapper is saying, and he's just dropping ad-libs. That's the greatest shit ever. Even if they're hard ad-libs. He looks like a nut. Yeah. Yo, and on Mom Ties when he was like, yo, I don't know what he said, but,

your bitch is a bimp, my bitch is a skoda. That's there. I'm telling y'all what he said. There's some awkward noises on there. Go to Can't Take a Joke. I skipped that song the whole time. Yeah, me too. I like the flow on that. I skipped Mom Ties too, like can't take a joke better than mom i skip mob ties too

yeah i don't really particularly want to hear greasy greasy drizzy i don't want to hear any strong with with a high hat doing that yeah i know i i just that's i like the pocket he found on it i thought it was a cool flow on can't take a Joke. Rory, would you get out of here with your little hipster words? Like the pocket he found. I don't think you want to get into hipster shit right now with you. Am I a hipster? Listen, man. That's last year conversation. You're right.

What did you ask me to play? Can't Take a Joke? Yeah. All right. It's come and talk. Well, this, I think there's some Kardashian subs to that rumor that everyone's saying Drake was going to

tell the world that he smashed, if not Kim, one of the Kardashians in the intro of this song. That ain't a joke if you fuck my wife, nigga. I'm not taking a joke.

That don't classify as I can't take a joke okay i didn't catch that which is fine now he's ubering women to hidden hills which is totally fine do you say uber x yes he's classy He's classy. That's not classy. That's not classy. That's the people. That's the regular one. He could have pulled them. Like, come on.

Frank, you can't have the Uber X niggas pulling up to the Hidden Hills. Word. To your crib at that. In the Corolla. Yeah, because them niggas be flagrant. So, yeah, he's saying they bout it, and they're there to get touched. Okay. Continue on.

Huh? Stop right there. I was cock hit it with a stone who else lives right up the road from Drake everybody no they have been talking about how I beep twice to Bruce Jenner like he talks about he does say that a lot

Kylie was right up the street when I was with 21 like they continually talk about how close they live to each other oh I'm not hip I ain't gonna lie

with my just with my theory on this whole side A yeah. Wait, so he Uber X'd a Kardashian to his crib? They could have been drinking. Maybe it was just easier that way. Drake, if you...

We being messy. I'm playing the record. Calabasas deep Got a different way they stay Everything will be okay Man just stay up by my way Just get around And ask for the balls And I'm kidding too

I see what you did there Yeah Huh You cracked the code No but these lines Literally are And we've been on this a lot So we'll move on But these lines literally are and we've been on this a lot so we'll move on

but these lines literally are are every other line right on the entire side A I know people don't really

listen to lyrics like that but if you get a chance to listen to some of the lyrics that's what's happening and I'm not telling you to like it you ain't gotta like the shit

but that's what's happening I'm not talking about how to feel about it't gotta like the shit but that's what's happening I'm not talking about how to feel about it and while I feel messy even talking about all this this is a messy album this is just

spicy and messy yeah for sure and I don't mean that in a bad way I'm just saying it's a response to all the quote unquote gossip that has been

going back and forth between these two weeks it's now on wax and he's saying because remember Jay Prince said it would ruin everyone's career this is horrible wax. And he's saying, because remember, Jay Prince said it would ruin everyone's career. This is horrible.

We know Drake. He wanted to say that shit. He doesn't want to be the one. He wanted to be super spicy. He's got a whole other level to his attitude, if you recall, in 8 from 10.

What was that? I don't know. It was my brain to kill us, but we'll just keep recording. Oh, yes, Avon. You will protect us in that shirt. Just open the door for him.

Walk right up to the killer. Hey, were you looking for some money, guys? I mean, if it's a pit bull, we'll be fine. I'll beat the shit out of that pit bull. There's a video running around the internet now. I saw that. Yeah, I ought to beat that pit bull's ass. That was a small pit bull, too.

Did he use a hose? No, he cleared that whole barbershop out. The pit bull. The pit bull won. Against the barbershop too. Did he use a hose? No, he cleared that whole barbershop out. The pit bull. The pit bull won. Against the barbershop. They don't have a hose in there. They got the sinks, but they don't have a hose. Well, they had out-of-shape barbers, too.

I mean, is there a lot of in-shape barbers? It's not a lot of fit barbers, per se. Yeah. That's a good point. That's fucked up. I mean, they stand in there all day. Eric's in shape like a barber. Now you got a barber body.

That nigga's stupid. He got a barber face too. With no shape up. In his defense, he said he wanted to go to the barber shop and he was holding him up. That's true. Because he was late. Oh, damn. So now he's a great worker.

That's awesome. Because she was late. Oh, damn. So now he's a great worker. That's awesome. That's fucked up. All right. So the Jay-Z song. Yeah, we have to talk about that. And I don't really want to keep talking about Drake's album because we talked about it for a while. But we have to talk about that. Here's my thinking.

They always do the introspective fucking side B record which we all love they don't have one that's like for the car that just bangs and I think

that's what they tried here but I don't think if that Jay Z verse comes in that makes the album they let DJ Paul leave his tag in the hole

the whole time what was Pound Cake what type of record was that it was introspective yeah definitely it was moody at least that's why I retired at the whole time. What was Pound Cake? What type of record was that? It was introspective. Yeah, definitely. It was moody at least. That's why I retired

at the right time. I stopped even knowing what type of record was what. That was the car record for me. I put that one in with Jammin'. He was on River Road saying cake, cake, cake. Oh, killing Acme.

Yeah, I don't have any more to say about the Drake album. I know. It was good. I enjoyed it. I have a question. He did an update

similar to what we were talking about last week with people's albums just updating them after they're released. He did it today. What did he do? I can give you the list

of what was added, but it was updated. Scorpion. He added songs to... No, no, no. He updated the songs. Like, added in new shit. I think that In My Feelings

now has like a Wayne... It's not a Wayne verse, but it's a... I did hear a Wayne thing. They're chopping Wayne up in it. I wasn't sure if that was there before and I just didn't notice or what.

Let me look. Hold on. Two hour long album, so it's hard to... Well, while you do that, let's all try to guess the drugs that Nickiki minaj is on i would like to know she might be the plug

we've all done a lot of drugs so we can we can get to the bottom of this pretty quickly that's somebody should watch her usage. And who's filming her while usage is happening. Yeah, you shouldn't film yourself high. Nicki Minaj is 100% on something. Wait, but was she,

you talk about the video with her opening up the presents? That was confirmation for me, but I was already on that. I was already, I've been on this,

I've said this on this podcast a bunch because Meek talked about it Meek talked about him being hooked on pills when he was with her and and uphill battle it was for him to get off you know she and I know that that that battle all too well it's really really tough to get off of pills so i'm not i'm not trying to make i'm not trying to be funny here uh anybody knows my history knows i'm definitely not trying to be funny i really think that somebody should intervene yeah like i think that it's getting progressively worse now so so let's talk about a story that broke, that kind of broke. Did you all see that?

The DM? The DM. I did. Savon, find that DM for me. Let's get into that. There's some backstory there that I'm not all too familiar with. Apparently, that young lady used to intern. No, she was a current intern writer for Karen's website.

For Karen's website. For Karen's website. Got it. So how I heard it, she wasn't, because Karen has a bunch of different ventures. She's not part of whatever the company Karen does that consults or manages or whatever she does for Nicki Minaj. She specifically writes for the Karen Civil site, if I'm not mistaken. Okay. Still, though? Well, she was thus fired.

And however she was fired, there's an NDA involved. Oh, I'm sure. Well, she said it. She said there's an NDA involved, and I'm not allowed to speak on it. Well, you know, of course you're all entitled to your opinion, but if I'm working for somebody that has Nicki Minaj as a client and my job is not to be the opinionated person, yeah, have some cool. Yeah. Just don't hit send on that tweet.

Right. Put it in your group chat. Right. Hmm. Now, if you're the opinionated writer on KarenCivil.com and everyone's looking for you to give the real opinion. Roy, that's not right. You can't say that if you're not the opinionated person and you can't say your opinion on Twitter. Because now you're entering.

Because it's without class? No, no, no. I thought she said something classy. I didn't think it was a bad thing. It was a bad thing. For the people that are unaware. And I agree with what she said. What she said was, you know how dope it would be if Nicki put out mature content?

Question mark. No silly shit. Just reflecting on past relationships, being a boss, hardships, et cetera. She's touching 40 soon. A new direction is needed. Period. That's not that. That's the end of what this young lady said.

I agree with her and I don't think it's bad. But if you're working for someone that represents Nicki Minaj, I might hold that tweet down. But I don't, and that's where the confusion comes for me. I'm not certain that she was working

for Nicki Minaj when this was tweeted or Karen or that site or anything. I think it's public knowledge that Karen and Nicki

at minimum have an extremely good relationship and Karen helps out with Nikki in her team. I'm saying I don't think this young lady worked for Karen's site when on 6-29-18. Well, yeah, she was fired that day because... Oh, she was fired that day?

Yeah. All right, now let me think. I don't think that was a particularly... Listen, I read this off the timeline, so don't think I have some particularly Listen I read this off the timeline So don't think I have some Knowledge I could be wrong here But that's what I read the sequence was Okay so let's get into Nikki's response

Via DM She says End I quote When your ugly ass was 24 You was pushing 30 I'm 34 I'm touching 40 LOL And what does that have to do with my music eat a dick you hating asshole got the nerve to have a trini flag on your page that's the thing

that these celebs do right wait be trini no no not be trini these celebs gonna go to your page and pick you apart, huh? She's reading a bio. Wait, she got to get into the fact that there's a Trini flag on the page. But I understand what she's saying. All right, let me see. Got the nerve to have a Trini flag on your page. That's my Nikki voice.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. It's not far off. I feel like when she was opening those gifts, this is like the voice that she would have. You must not have heard the pink print. She said that shit like it was ready to die. No, Nikki. No. We haven't.

Yeah, you know something. No, listen. Because sometimes you meet some fans or you meet an older person, and they'll recognize that you're somebody, but they don't know who you are. And they'll be like, I'm so sorry. They'll apologize for not knowing who you are. I'll be like, why are you apologizing?

I don't run around expecting everybody to know who I am. Heard Pump It music like it's fine i'm not what you say you said you haven't heard pump it up i don't i never understand the celebrities that think everybody should have been up to date on everything that they've done but okay pink print you must not have heard the pink print or pills and potions You must not have heard the pink print or pills and potions. Bed of lies. Save me. My recent feature with Alicia Keys. Tasha Cobbs.

Who the fuck is Tasha Cobbs? I was going to ask you. I didn't want to sound misinformed. Nick. Boy. All right. Savon, find out who Tasha Cobbs is misinformed. Nick. And boy. All right. Savon, find out who Tasha Cobbs is for me. Oh, Rory. She's on power.

That's her maiden name. Yo, shut up, Rory. Just say you jealous I'm rich, famous, intelligent, pretty, and go. But wait. Leave my balls. Tired of you sucking them. Why is it that that's the response? Do you think we really are upset that you're rich and famous,

or we generally want to hear good music from you? I think... That young lady's tweet did not sound like she was upset that Nicki Minaj was rich and famous. She sounded like she wanted some different Nicki Minaj was rich and famous. She sounded like she wanted some different content from her. I want to point out to you, and this is one of my favorite parts of this, that that first shit I just read was sent at 10.09 p.m. I'm glad you're bringing up this point because I wanted to bring it up as well.

Then she went and made something to drink. Seven or eight minutes passed. No, no, no. Let's try to figure out what she did. Because you know when you just read somebody, you got to go smoke or something. She definitely popped a pill after that. That's when I would have popped a pill. I would have went in the bathroom.

Yeah. And then ran out. And then popped a pill. And another thing. One more thing. Yes. So she says, I dropped my album almost four years ago.

My bad. I'm 35. So, rewind. Let's skip that. Hold on. I don't think it's as funny that she forgot how old she was supposed to be. He lied! I'm thinking worship him!

My bad. She tried to casually go back to how old she was. My bad, my bad. My fault, guys. I'm 35. That's close to the 40. I forget my age. I didn't want to validate your argument earlier.

At least she apologized. She said, so at 31, how about you get like me? Wait, how does she know how old this young woman is? No, I think she was referring to being four years. Yeah, she was referring to her earlier Foxy Brown math. Oh, all right, when Foxy got the key. Yeah, all right. How about you get like me? Why don't you ask me how to help you get rich?

Been on top and I ain't going nowhere. Ho. That's all you got to do is ask her how to get rich. Don't forget about the emojis. Oh, yeah. There's a tongue emoji and there's another yellow face emoji with the tongue out. And then there's another yellow face emoji with the slanted tongue out. Appropriate.

Those are the ones I use when I reply to DMs. About how trash the podcast is. Now listen, let's forget about whether that young lady was in the right or the wrong. When I say young lady, not Nikki, I'm talking about the young lady. Well, you don't know.

She's still young because she's 34. She's 35. She could still be a young. You shouldn't speak to people that way. That's really it. I don't care where you fall on how you feel about what transpired, what occurred, who was right, the NDA, who did what, who should have said anything, who's class, whatever.

You shouldn't just speak to anybody that way. Especially when you're as big and as famous and as powerful as she is. Especially when there's been multiple reports going around for years that that is how you speak to people behind the scenes. That's probably what started people being turned off from Nicki Minaj.

Not the fact that there was something going on musically, but the fact that, oh, are you just shitting on anybody? There's like mad reports of that. So why would you continue it? Why would you not think this young lady would expose that? And does that violate the NDA? Her replying that way? No, it doesn't.

No, her leaking that DM, the young lady. Oh, yeah, it does. does i mean i don't know what's in the nda but again back to working with that's private something that's something private with a client you can't put that out i need more information on if this girl was a client who she worked for because i don't see anything wrong with what she said right it's the same thing many people have said about Nicki Minaj for quite some time now. We just want to see something different. That was my beef with Drake. I want to see something different.

Like when you're a fan of somebody, you just want to see different shit from them. Well, Nicki's response to, because you're not the first person that said that about her, she claims it's the woman thing where if a man acted the way she acted, he'd be a boss, quote. But she gets called a bitch for it. And if a man acted that way she acted he'd be a boss quote but she gets called a bitch for it

and if a man acted that way he would be a loser to me he would not be a boss and i hate i hate that that that argument men men don't run around speaking to other men that way or they would get the shit beat out of them that's because we like men men the same way there's women cold there's men cold men don't speak to niggas like that. We know there's a line. Yeah. If crossed, I will be hit. Yeah, it's time to activate.

I don't understand that. I would like to speak to that young lady, but if she has an NDA, then there's nothing to really speak about. Yeah. And when would the NDA get signed if she was fired that day? Well, she might have signed one before. Oh, prior to it. If you work in that business. Yeah, Karen's good.

Everybody got an NDA. Damn, that's fucked up. Yeah, and you got to think, Karen is very calculated in particular about how she is viewed. And she's really good at it. You'd have to think she wouldn't want the same for Nicki. Right, right. So that might cause some tension between you and your employee,

to say the least. But Nicki being the shade room comments clapping at people. Of course. To me, that reeks of pill usage. Because pills make you react and respond to shit. You wouldn't. Yeah.

It depends on what pill you're doing, I guess. Oh yeah. I've done a bunch of pills. I'm assuming that that's what that is that she's on. And I'm not going to say that it's anything worse and be clear. I don't know. I don't know shit,

but I've done, I've done a lot of drugs and just looks that way to me. Well, I don't know if that behavior works for our audience. Maybe it does. But has anyone in her inner circle tapped her and said, yo, you look a little nuts right now. Let's kick back on the social media tip. Because this isn't new.

This has been going on for years. People be afraid to speak to people, man. People be afraid to tell somebody that they look nuts because you run the risk of losing your job. Yeah, but she has to have a friend that has no dog in the race but friendship and how their friend looks. I don't know her friends, but if your friends are birds, then they're going to encourage

you to look like a bird when you're opening gifts that you can afford. I understand that reaction from opening them bags if you couldn't afford them bags. Well, maybe it was the gesture I'm a smoke Listen if you

If you went to the store And brought back Some salt and vinegar chips I'd be like Yo thanks Joe I can afford a bag of chips But I'm like Yo that's nice man

You got a good point You a good friend You make a good point I never looked at it that way I don't know if I'm gonna giggle The way Nicky did on that But you know You to giggle the way Nicki did on that, but you know. You'd giggle. I've giggled before. I'll admit it.

I don't want to make such a, you know, again, let me be very clear. I'm not, I have, I'm not certain that Nicki Minaj is on drugs or pills, but it just looks that way. So even if she's not, somebody should do something about how she's coming off.

I say that as respectfully as I possibly can. I don't want any bar beef. I'm cool. Been down that path before? I hate when Maul's not here when I want to talk about Nicki. Why? Because you know he's everything. He's a Nicki guy too the Nicky guy, too.

Best Buy stopped selling CDs. I know Parks is sad. It's officially over. I haven't bought CDs in a very long time. I know, but the nostalgia. I still have my big-ass CD booklet. The giant thing.

Mine's somewhere. Which I used to carry in my backpack to school. Yeah, but that's a part of your evolution of sound display no CD's CD's the only one I don't have on there oh to the new listeners Rory has an evolution of sound display in his living room and he recently put a new picture up of it I've seen it what you mean I've seen it you gave him a different angle it's a different spot listen

man I was wasn't hiding my crib from the world. I was hiding the world from my crib. Yeah, so another picture. You posted your view this time. It looked nice. It was like the dark. Oh, yeah. I was like, look at Rory. Little pool pics. I think I was really drunk. The sun was coming up and I was still up. I went to Mark

Wolbert's house. How was that? We saw Joe. Oh, yeah. We saw the pics. Can you explain to me how the picture scenario happened? Was this a request? Was there a cameraman? Do you really want to know? I'll tell you. Did you hand your phone to somebody and be like, yo, take this flick real quick?

Did you quietly say it and then tap Mark like, oh, someone has a camera. We should take this. You know, I think there should be a whole show on how pictures actually come about because it's always the most awkward moment ever it is so

I'm with Ian and Puff and Andre Harrell and yeah that was it right but me and Ian always go dip

and do our own thing I was gonna say smoke cigarettes yeah I have this rule like I know how it is like I was going to say smoke cigarettes. Yeah. I have this rule. I know how it is. I just know how it is.

I never want to ask for a picture. Ever want to ask, especially in somebody's house. That's just real tacky to me. It's just tacky. A nigga's home in his fucking casual clothes. A party for his wife. Well, you were dressed like Neo, so I wouldn't say you were casual. So was Ian.

Well, no. I'm saying Mark was casual. He was casual. So when you're casual at home, it's not picture time. True. So fucking Ian, man. Ian starts tapping me

at the end when we're walking out. Everybody's walking out trying to get Ubers. Well, it's known that Ian is a really big New Kids on the Block when we're walking out. Everybody's walking out trying to get Ubers. It's known that Ian is a really big New Kids on the Block fan. That's true. Ian looks like a New Kids on the fucking Block. He was really giddy in Boston and I was confused.

But now I see him. He's tapping me, man, aggressive. Saying, you want a picture? You want a picture? And I know that means he wants a picture. So I say, no. I say, no, I don't want a picture of Rad's house. You know, it's tacky.

Just no. So we'll see him again. As soon as I said that, somebody else asked him for a picture and he took it. So Ian said, go ahead. So he was talking to us. Actually, he came over. Wait, had y'all spoke yet Cause that's also weird We spoke

No no we spoke If you're not already In a conversation Oh yeah no Walking up to Mark Wahlberg And asking for a picture Is nuts I'm judging you

If you're doing it Cause I don't even seem Like your speed I think Mark Wahlberg Listens to this podcast Oh What's up Mark Shout out to Mark

In front of the show He was real in tune With a lot Like it wasn't the fake. You know how the celebrities fake it? Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He wasn't doing that.

It really impressed Ian, and I was trying to explain to Ian that at the end of the day, these niggas that start out in hip hop, they still hip hop. Right, right. They just are off to do some other shit now. Yeah. So, yeah, that's how the picture came about because Ian pushed me next to Mark Wahlberg. Then I said, don't worry about it. I bought Good Vibrations.

And then he said, I'm not returning your money. And then I smiled like a fucking thot and then Ian took the picture. So the only picture I have is me with all of my teeth showing. Oh, we saw. Men should never have all of their teeth showing in a picture. And Mark looks cool. Oh, they're cool.

You look like a herb. He ain't going to fuck. Wait. So then I take my fucking picture. Because every time Ian takes a picture of me, he ruins the picture. He don't give a fuck about the picture. Because he wants a film. Then I take a picture of him.

They both look amazing. They both look like fucking long lost cousins, twins. Yeah, with the grease back hair. Yeah, get the fuck out of here, Ian. Chikorichi shoes. Mark Wahlberg's house made me not want to go to people's houses anymore. Anymore. Same way I had to unfollow Flo Rida and...

Whoa. Oh, I forgot my phone was still plugged in. You're getting a fucking courtesy call. Who is this? Is that Mark? You can never pick up. Yo. We've been trying to reach you.

Suck my dick. I was going to say, speaking of deadbeats. Suck my dick. I don't give a fuck who you've been trying to reach, bitch. Hey, these niggas trying to fool you now, calling from normal numbers. 973 show. I live in Jersey. What the hell?

Don't call me from a 917. All my friends are 917. What was I talking about before I was overly interrupted just now? Mark's house. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. You and Bobby's swagger. Not going back now. Mark's house. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. You and Bobby Swagger. Not going back there. No. Never.

Depressing? Yes. That shit looked like the resort I just left in fucking Cabo. I only saw the foyer. I only saw the foyer and the yard and it looked like the resort that I stayed at just now and I was like, alright, fam.

Wait, now I understood how women end up Googling niggas' salaries. the resort that I stayed at just now. And I was like, all right, fam. Wait, now I understood why, how women end up Googling nigga salaries. How much do I have to have to own this? How much do I have to have to visit? I just want to come back sometime. Yo, even, I was telling Ian, even the moon looked different from his house.

Like, I know all of us could see the moon. Yeah, it's different up there. Fam, the moon was just, it's different up there. The moon was right above you. Just look up. And it had some glossy moody effect to it. Like reverb on the moon. I don't know what street he was.

They facetuned it. They facemooned. They fucking facemooned. The solstice happened. Then we got out of there and went over to the standard. Did you? Hung out a little bit. Oh, you're different, man.

You didn't post to Mark with like the moon emoji? I didn't. No. Just like a double entendre? What is the moon emoji for? I see people post it sometimes. For when you're at Mark Wahlberg's house and you're looking at the moon. No.

No, I didn't. So did y'all exchange math to build or what? To build. To rap real quick? Don't link me. You told Mark Wahlberg not to link you. I'd like to link with Mark. Listen.

I'd hang out with Mark. He's pretty cool. He seems like a good guy. Wasn't Mark in the town? No, Mark was not in the town. I thought he was. That was Ben Affleck. No, he wasn't in town. That was Matt in the town? No, Mark was not in the town. I thought he was. That was Ben Affleck. No, he wasn't in the town.

That was Matt Damon or somebody. No, Ben Affleck. They all came. They're the same. They're the same. But besides the town, Mark has been in every Boston movie that's ever happened.

Wait, the other white guys in the town that's popping up in a lot of shit, but I don't ever know his name now, neither. But he's in a lot of shit. You don't know his name. The dude from Mad Men. Let's see, look. Is he from Mad Men? I don't know. They're i don't know uh anyway what was i talking about just now

oh nothing standard is where you were oh yeah yeah oh that's another thing i learned that women are doing now going to the standard yeah just learn that no women are now they are they're back to i remember when this happened with Louis XIII. The liquor? Yes, a long time ago. It was many years ago that that's all. Oh, then it happened with Ace of Spades too a little bit, where that's all the women wanted.

Louis XIII. All of the people that, and I never knew what the big deal was until I found out how much it cost. It's not even like a chick drink though. I can see that with Ace of Spades. But that's why I was like. I'd be a little nervous if Shorty's throwing back that type of liquor. No, they just throw it out there because it's pretty expensive.

So now that's what I'm noticing is happening now with 1942. The bottles look cool, too. Loose 13? Yeah. And Ace of Spades. For what it's worth. I still have my Aces. That Ace of Spades bottle looks so's worth I still have my Ace of Spades that Ace of Spades bottle

looks so good I just saved mine like I ain't opening it I ain't serving it to nobody you're better than me that's the wild thing about champagne you have to have

different money for that cause champagne once you open it's not like you can put the cap back on and save it for later yeah you gotta drink that and there's never that much

champagne in there half of it goes bubbles cause you're drunk and you're just spilling it it's yeah that much champagne in there. No. Half of it goes bubbles because you're drunk and you're just spilling it. It's, yeah. That's definitely just to spend money. Yeah.

Yeah, that's the table I was at. It was a lot of expensive alcohol there. I only know because somebody told me. You didn't see the tab? No. No, no. Keep it 100. That was Mark's boo?

No. That's pretty funny, Roy. Yeah, no. No, I didn't see the tab. I just seen it and said, don't link me. Out of bounds. Out of pretty funny, Roy. Yeah, no. No, I didn't see the tab. I just seen it and said, don't link me. I would have bounced immediately. That's what was just calling you. I got to go to the bathroom real quick.

This is the standard. All right, so they stopped selling CDs. We don't care because we've been off of CDs. Tiana Taylor is not re-releasing her project the way that we reported last week, even though she was when we reported it because she said that she was after we reported it and then something must have happened where they came up with a new plan and now the new plan is for her to release these songs uh when the videos come out it'll be the unreleased versions of these songs that's what and i'm getting this from her twitter feed so take that how you will that sounds good which i don't think her twitter

feed i think is her finding out secondhand information last minute and trying to save face because they completely fucked her over. And because she really fucks with her fans.

Yeah. Like she likes her fans. Yeah. I applaud her for keeping such a cool head through this whole thing. Yeah. I cannot,

because Tiana, we know, is vocal. I cannot believe she's been this cool through this whole thing. I think she's still been kind of vocal. But in a kind of respectable... You know she wants to scream, fuck good music, get me off this label, y'all completely fuck me over. She probably said that to behind closed doors in Wyoming somewhere.

No, she's in Harlem. They have her album locked in Wyoming. I heard her that listening part they threw in LA didn't really go as planned heard the music it was too loud

that was part of the roll out couldn't hear shit no you don't understand the album went over your head the whole point was everything not to work out it was just a metaphor for how life is sometimes

so everything during y'all just not up on Kanye he's way over y'all head no I feel you it was artistic see that's why I hate when y'all just not up on Kanye he's way over your head like see that's why I hate when y'all come on Kanye is just he's a he thinks he's a free thinker like why should the album be good yeah well it doesn't even make no that's what I'm saying I never thought it doesn't have to be good yeah

Steve Jobs ain't do that nigga willga will throw Steve Jobs' name out there. He will not let these niggas rest in peace. Like, goddamn. Leave people alone. Said CD, said Tiana, a rapper was murdered in Toronto. Yeah, I wasn't familiar with his work. Neither was I. Rest in peace. But rest in peace to Smoke Dog.

And a few people from Toronto are telling me that there's just a lot of violence going on in Toronto right now. And this is before I even learned about that murder. So if you're out there and this is true, please be safe. Please be careful. I'm doing the same over here. Trust me. Word. But rest in peace the smoke dog

what else what else what else what else what else I want to know what Marvin Gaye's estate does all day

listens to records do they literally fish through every single piece of music that comes out as they should and goes hmm

Marvin made music that's music it's a melody I think we got something here as they should. And goes, Marvin made music. That's music. It's a melody. I think we got something here. There's a case there. There's a case. Who are they going after now?

Ed Sheeran for 100 million. And they'll probably get it because they sure got Robin Thicke. When I was like, oh, Rob, he'll beat that. Nah, Robin's shit sounded a lot like... Robin, yeah.

That was a Marvin record somehow. What Ed Sheeran record are they saying? Oh, I didn't even know. Saban? The big one. It was the big... Thinking Out Loud, yeah.

Oh, okay. They're saying it's Let's Get It On. Ain't that your man? Oh, no. Pulled From The Loans, your man's. Who? I was going to say, isn't that Joe's man's, but it's not. Thinking Out Loud.

Let me see if that's a Marvin Gaye record. When your legs don't work like they used to before. This is Let's Get It On. The chord progression is similar. Good engineering,

Bill Parks. Let me see here. Gotta hear the melody, though, because you can't copyright a chord progression. But they won the Pharrell shit

basically off no... It was off of feel. That's nuts. That's crazy. I mean, it was a jack of the feel, but damn. Only in court can you win in music with feeling and divorce. When she doesn't feel

good, you're losing everything. Yeah, that's a fact. Alright, here we go. Where are we at? good you're losing everything yes all right here we go where we are they got that sorry Eddie hey that hundred mil is as good as theirs buddy what the fuck was that? Play it back. When your legs don't work like they used to before And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Did you just change the pitch? Yep. Oh, okay. Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks? I've been really trying

baby trying to hold Can you keep suing people for the same chord progression? I hear what you're saying. You can't sue for chord progression, but you can sue for melody, lyric, or actual sampling the record so no love in you when you're not my own and give me your stuff to me oh this is a jack nigga hey. Come on.

Hey, listeners, I apologize for my ugly voice singing over this shit, but that is a jack if I've ever heard one. Oh, they getting that 100 mil. Yeah. Give me that beat, fool. I got to start seeing who really is using Pump It Up out there. Someone definitely jacked your cadence. I think so. The aww, something. Dog, I think so. The aww.

Something. No one has stolen the aww. You hating. I think Rory's hating. I have never heard anyone use that again. What else is happening before we have to get into LeBron? I sent this to Ian for a C&D. That could be artwork.

Thank you, Rory. Pump it up, which I think is a balloon place, which would be a proper name. I saw Def Jam, Def Jam's Twitter page tweeting out, hypothetically, if we brought back Def Jam Vendetta, who would you want to see? Or what would you want to see? I was about to retweet and say, I'd want to see all niggas get paid. That was actually- You didn't get paid for that shit?

Can all video gamers please get paid? Nigga, no. Hell no. I wish I had information back then. What they was doing to the kids. Yeah. That game sold. I know a lot of people, like, when I first started working with you,

they were like, oh, Joe Budden. I used to play with him all the time in Vendetta. A lot of people early on, a lot of the white people knew me from that video game yeah i gave it to them they knew how to franchise some shit they just wasn't gonna pay niggas for it that's crazy that's the point of franchising yeah that's fucked up i'm sad again uh what else is happening before we get into uh lebron uh did you guys catch power i did not see power yet so if you're going to spoil it tell me so i can walk out the room no i won't spoil it because i am i am gonna watch it i saw a lot of people saying that uh the sun was bugging tyreek so i'm

assuming he did something stupid still on his bullshit they're gonna shoot him though he's gonna die your ghost gotta lose both his kids I was walking around Tribeca afterwards looking for him. I would do that shit myself. Oh, dear. He was shady like that in the first episode? Fam, you thought after the whole shit how the last season ended, he might join the trio. Felt like the band was back together.

Nah. Nope. Am I going to get mad when I see it? Yes. Because my thing is. You're going to scream at Angela's dumb ass too. See, but. All right.

Well, wait. Let me say what I'm saying. I think I'm a little hip to how power likes to progress. Like, they normally pick somebody for us to hate very early. Episode one. So, they did that with this kid last year. The same way we. Who did we hate?

Oh, Tommy's girl before they killed her. We hated somebody else too. But yeah, we hated this kid last year. Some people wanted him to die. I think they're going to redeem him. I think that was a setup. I thought that whole thing was going to redeem him. Oh, I should leave.

I see where this is going. And then he was on the fuck shit right away. All right. No, but I think they're going to flip it. I do think Angela's going to get arrested. Oh, my God. What the fuck, man? I feel like I should have seen it.

You should have seen it. And I think Proctor is going to represent her. Ah, Proctor. Proctor's back. And he's spicier than ever. Is La La alive? She is. La La is alive.

La La is alive. Hold up, man. Round of applause for fucking La La being alive. And last week was an inappropriate time, but boy, it was good to see Carmelo and La La together. Granted, not at the deceased kid's house, Junior, but good to see them together. That was the first time we saw them. Well, I will say Tommy pulled the OG move. It's not a big spoiler.

They were at Reina's fake funeral. What is it? It looked like a love and hip hop funeral. No, they redid it to help out the politician, Lawrence Tate. Right. Ghost was like, yep, do that shit. And Tasha was like, are you fucking kidding me?

We're going to do a fake funeral for my kid? So now I know an entire scene. This is really good. It's fucking Tuesday. You do great at not spoiling things. This just happened Sunday. You should have seen it. I was in LA.

You should have seen it. Because LA doesn't have cable. No, they didn't have stars. Puff has stars. I'm sure you were at a watch party. No, only you go to the watch parties. The watch party. Rory loves watch parties.

Watch parties are trash. No, they don't have the stars at the hotel I was at and I went at Puff's house damn alright well anyways

and once I missed the first episode let me just say I wasn't certain if I wanted to watch it then cause then I'm like well shit man

if I miss a couple more I could binge that's always nice but you're gonna admit the timeline's gonna spoil shit anyway I don't really tweet no more since I got a girl.

Smart. Smart. That's the best way to keep your girl. Tommy did the OG scummy move. Spoil it. It's not a big spoiler. They were grieving at the funeral, and he ain't seen Lala in mad long. You know he did her dirty.

Walked right over to hold her hand and grieve together without saying a word. That's good old Tommy. Yeah. Way to go, Tommy. The OG scum move. I'll probably watch it. Put off your sympathy. If I don't watch it this week, then I'm not watching episode two and I'm just going to try to hold out.

Nah. Don't do that. With shows like that, you can't because the timeline is going to ruin it. And we have to cover it. That's true, too. You have a podcast. Yeah. I signed up for Starz just to make sure that I was aware.

Fine. Man, that link is right on the timeline. I couldn't find it. I'm not kidding. I haven't bootlegged in so long that I don't know how to bootleg anymore. And niggas want to get the Starz shit so they can watch it Saturday on the low. That's true. Yeah, we like watching it early.

I'll watch it. Something else I'm missing over there? Jameis Winston, I just saw that he was suspended for being, did he get a nasty award for an Uber? Was it something like that?

Yeah, that's a nasty award. Jason Winston is nasty. Yeah, he's nasty. But he's been nasty. Yeah, that's true. What did he do in the Uber? He groped the Uber driver. Oh yeah, that's a nasty award.

That's super nasty. Was it a man? No. Okay. How do you grope an Uber driver? I think it was a crotch grab. I think it was a crotch grab. Okay. How do you grow up with a Uber driver? I think it was a crotch grab. I think it was a crotch grab.

While they're driving? I guess. Where's he from? Crotch grab is just creepy to begin with. Is that move big in the South? The crotch grab? It's big for our president. What makes a man just go to that move in the arsenal?

That's crazy. What are you getting out of that, too? Jameis Winston is nasty. First of all, I didn't think of his name Jameis. Like, what's wrong with Jameis? That shit look like a spelling term. Jameis. Had to go with Jameis.

Don't trust his parents. Mario Hazonja is on the Knicks. Who? Uh, Mario Hazonja is on the Knicks. Who? He was the seventh. He was the fifth pick in the 2015 draft. He went to Orlando.

Okay. And that's only relevant because the Knicks now have three of the top seven players from that draft, which is Emmanuel Moutier, Porzingis, and now Mario Hazonja. I don't know what the Knicks. Oh, wait. I do know what the Knicks are doing. I thought you enlightened us already. They're tanking.

They're injuring everybody. Yeah, but wait a minute. All right, this is good. It's a deeper doctor. Criminal link. Yeah, we're going to have to talk about murder. Oh, shit. At Mark Wahlberg's house... I've had enough of you.

Jimmy Butler was there. Snitch. Word. I've had enough of you Jimmy Butler was there snitch you know what's funny I wasn't gonna say the person that was there I was gonna try to report this story anonymously but then I saw

the Bleacher Report put out a story today that said Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving hope to play together in the near future. That's a good backcourt. So.

I know a good city. That was my entire conversation with Jimmy Butler. It wasn't, where are you going to play? It was, where are you going to play? You're pitching the Knicks? No, not even. But I know the Knicks? No, not even. But I know the Knicks needed a two guard. But Jimmy Butler said some very interesting things about New York basketball.

I'll say that. Anything you can divulge? Come on, Joe Haddish. Get it out there. No, no. I don't think it would. No, it wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be right. But these reports are already out there that Kyrie wants. I don't think it would. No, it wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be right.

It wouldn't be right. But these reports are already out there that Kyrie wants to play in New York. Okay. Those reports are there. So I won't substantiate them. But there's two teams in New York. So when I was talking to him, that was the first time that it ever dawned on me that, damn, Talking to him, that was the first time that it ever dawned on me that, damn,

if those rumors are true and Kyrie wants to play in New York, then it might be Brooklyn. He just wants to be in New York. And Brooklyn has cap space. I spoke to Jimmy Butler about the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves. His future. Him coming off of injury, how he thinks he will perform. I spoke to him about salaries. Who getting what who should get what who's looking to get what from where who's looking

to go where we had one of those talks so i can't really divulge anything that was said but he didn't but he didn't he didn't what i will say is he didn't tell me that him and kairi planned on playing together in new York in the future. He did not say that to me. He did say that he was just hanging out with Kyrie the day before. And they kicked it. Still off season. It's LA. Then I saw Caron Butler and asked him where he thought LeBron was going.

And I spoke to him about whether LeBron is on steroids or not. Is he? No. Well, he didn't answer me, but I answered. I think LeBron would have got hurt by now if he was on steroids eventually.

Make you injury prone. They don't help. They do the opposite eventually i don't want to hear from you rory because you're 27 28 thank you oh go rory oh maybe i'll hear from you rory was a professional athlete so he probably took steroids but i only but i don't want to hear from him because he's not 33 34 yet because that's what i know when your body starts to i'm saying if he's been doing in the whole career they would eventually do the opposite if he starts taking them now maybe LeBron James and I said this before I'll keep saying it LeBron James has been in the finals for eight nine years in a row he's played in the Olympics he's only missed a total of maybe

six games was the most he missed a while ago and he's basically played every game for how many years? 15 or something crazy. 15 fucking years, and now you're telling me that that same man just decides out of the clear blue sky, you know what? Let's turn it up a notch. I want to play in the West. Like... And for my next trade.

Y'all, that's what y'all want me to believe? That's what, that's LeBron's trade of thought here? As exhausted as he was dealing with J.R. Smith, now you want to go and fucking deal with Lonzo Ball and his dad? You want to play Steph Curry fourth? Remember Maul sat here and said that LeBron would never go West? Yeah. No, at one point he was saying LA.

I'll stand up for Maul while he's not here. Yeah, for a good minute he was saying he was going to LA. I think he may have retracted that statement afterwards, but at one point Maul was definitely saying he was going to LA. I didn't think he was going to LA. No, Maul said, Maul had Chris Paul going to LA with LeBron and Carmelo and Paul George. That's what Maul said two years ago.

But a good team. Listen, Maul feels really sad, and he's conflicted as a diehard Laker fan, right? And I'm going to call him so he can speak for himself, but I was in L.A., so I was able to speak to some L.A. people, and a few of them feel the same way. A few of them feel like, you know, they are true, hardcore Laker fans that want to see the team develop the way it's always been developed which is

draft picks Magic Johnson fucking Kobe Bryant fucking yeah I mean but they've got big free agents Chamberlain Karim Abdul-Jabbar

Shaq I think these LA fans feel like and especially the Kobe fans, a lot of interesting factors here that come into play. They just feel like, you know, LeBron's presence is huge. Right. So I guess the Laker fans are feeling like,

we're not moving out the way for you new Laker fans. So there's like a war between the new LeBrons and the Lakers. I'm interested in it. I'm watching it. It is intriguing in that respect because a lot of people, especially LA people because they're such Kobe fans,

hate LeBron. Or, you know, hated him. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. And now they have to root for him. And you know they fucking will. Yeah, of course they will. Their team sucked last year.

Yeah. And they've sucked for several years, actually. So my new theory is the Warriors will win this championship this year. That's not the new hot take. And let me just say, I don't think that the Warriors are just going to run through everybody because they have DeMarcus Cousins. I don't.

You're wrong. I don't know, man. We'll see how he gels there. But KD, they didn't miss a step when they added KD. DeMarcus Cousins ain't Kevin Durant. He's good. I mean, he agreed to $5 million, which makes me think he wants to play within that system. He's definitely compromising here.

Everybody wants to play in that system, so I don't care about that. They're going to make back that salary in one playoff game. Right. Oh, yeah, well, I'm not talking about the $5 million. And I don't believe that. That's bullshit that nobody called DeMarcus Cousins and nobody wanted DeMarcus Cousins. Yeah, I don't believe that. That's not true. I don't believe that. That's bullshit that nobody called DeMarcus Cousins and nobody wanted DeMarcus Cousins. Yeah, I don't believe that.

That's not true. I don't believe that for a second. That's not true. And nobody could have got him at that number. The Knicks wasn't getting him for five million dollars. Nobody was getting him for five million dollars. So let's just call it a state of state here. Imagine New York doing that.

Yeah, but I don't think they're just going to run through everybody. DeMarcus, off an injury? I don't know how tough he is. I mean, that's the only thing that remains to be seen, but he's a fucking dynamic player. Dynamic, my ass. He can't run up and down like them niggas do.

A little bit. He's pretty athletic and he can shoot further than... But he has the cushion now to do it because he has this support around him. Do y'all know what it is? He doesn't have to ball out every night. What broke on him?

His Achilles? His Achilles, yeah. Come on, Parks. No, you're right. You're right. That is the wild card. You think he's coming back from an Achilles running up and down

at that pace? The Pelicans played faster when he went down. All I'm saying is his style of an Achilles running up and down at that pace? The Pelicans played faster when he went down. All I'm saying is his style of play is not run up and down. So he looked out of shape shooting him two three-pointers he shot while trying to be the third splash, brother. And I'm not trying to be funny because DeMarcus Cousins will fuck me up. With a broken Achilles.

If you can break your Achilles, tear it. Slow down. Well, is there anything in my hand? Listen, you can beat up two pit bulls, so I'll stay out of this. That's true. If you have a hose and maybe a handful of rocks. But the pit bulls, I have to bend down. They're down there.

DeMarcus Cousins is a man high in the air. You're going to have to jump. I would need a bat. Oh, well, if you have a bat, yeah, that changes everything, Joe. Oh, I got bats. There's some Models by me. Let's just not say I'm getting. That changes the plan, Joe, with any fight. Let's just not say I'm getting beat up. That changes the plan, Joe, with any fight.

Let's just not say I'm getting beat up when I live by Models. Anyway, I just don't know. You might have a shot against Tyson with the correct Models bat. And a good separation. No, see, that's the difference. Nobody was trying to fight Tyson even if you had a bat. That is how fearsome he was. Greatest fighter of all time.

He was ending niggas in 10 seconds. No, he's theest fighter of all time. He was ending niggas in 10 seconds. No, he's the greatest fighter of all time. I'm including Ali in there too. Yeah. Pardon me. Tyson to me is the best boxer ever. He was certainly the most entertaining. Rory's here with the takes today.

Yeah, he's definitely the most dominant. Granted, his prime wasn't as long as some other boxers, but dog. Him and his prime, there wasn't one. Anyone in their prime versus Tyson in their prime, Tyson's winning. In the weight class, obviously. Okay. Even Joe Budden with a baseball bat.

I was just stuck on the fact that I was sitting here saying another man was the most dominant. Where he dominated you, bro. That's a word men use that we don't really realize what we're saying. He dominated the paint. Shaq was easily the most powerful dominant. What are we really saying when we say these things? We got to check ourselves sometimes. All right.

Out of this fucking shit. You see Shaq's gentrifying Newark? Anyone see that report? I didn't see that. Throwing up some condos in Newark? No, but shit, how much? Because I've been saying for a while that they was going to gentrify Newark. Oh, they already started.

And they started. But it's different. I feel like they've tried a couple times, but it hasn't really. Downtown is way different. I mean, it's not way different, but it's not what it used to be. Right. I just don't know how much further out of that downtown, like once you hit Springfield, it's over. Well, Cory Booker started bodying shit over there, and then his political career took off, so I don't know how far the...

My guy Ross is over there now. He's doing well. Brought the crime rate down a lot. Well, maybe I'll go catch a hockey game or something. It's good. I put a Prudential Center. A hockey, yeah. Dino Barbecue

is right there. Well, I'm saying because they put the Prudential Center where that's where it used to go down in Newark. But now it is there.

One of many places. Well, yeah. Yeah, one of many places. But now. You and I hit that bar that one time. Yeah. It was fun.

We had a good time. Yeah, but I left early and I saw white people. Yeah, well, because Devil's Game had just gotten out. I felt safe. It was a good time. Yeah, but I left early and I saw white people. Yeah, well, because Devil's Game had just gotten out. I felt safe. A lot of white people

there. That's what I'm saying. I felt pretty safe. What else is happening that's important? Well, call them all about the LeBron thing before we get off basketball.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why aren't they putting anybody that could shoot around him? Around LeBron? They got Rondo. they got Lance Stevenson, and they got JaVale McGee thus far. I like Rondo.

I like the Rondo pickup. I don't know how he's going to be used, but I like him being there. Back to LeBron saying he wants high IQ people. Rondo's one of those people. I understand Lance Stevenson being there for his competitor, battled LeBron. Great.

JaVale McGee is not exactly a high IQ ball player. JaVale McGee was really helpful in the finals. That's true. And he can be used correctly if used correctly. And with LeBron, it helps to have a 7'1", nigga.

You'll need Lance to annoy Draymond for the whole four quarters. You'll need him to distract Draymond for a whole four quarters I like having a wild card you'll need him to distract some people you gotta have a wild card I like Lance a lot

so it's an important piece of it what is Van from TMZ sending me now I'm gonna call Van for sending me this

yes Jules and Blockboy JB bring Ja Rule and Ashanti vibes to the table I'm calling I'm calling Van

right now. Yo, you really an L.A. dude now, bro. That's crazy. Why? Van's my dude, but that's some real L.A. shit to call Van from TMZ

for the scoop. Just text me. Van. Van. Van. Hello. Hello. Oh, yeah.

See? He in a shootout? What is this? Let's see here. Come on. No, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that.

No, I'm not. We're not. We're not. I would never play that. Listen, it's still a- Is that shit any shine or a view? Of course I'm not doing that. I had a podcast that I wanted to talk about.

Y'all wouldn't even let me do that, so. You had a what? There was a podcast I wanted to give some that I wanted to talk about. Y'all wouldn't even let me do that. You had a what? It was a podcast I wanted to give some shine to a little while ago. Y'all wouldn't let me do that. Oh, yeah. Now I'm not doing that. Oh, I was calling them all. That's what I was doing. Alright, got it. Now you're sending emojis to people. That's crazy.

Alright. Doing pretty good so far. Me and Rory normally hold it down on holidays. That's our specialty. Y'all don't hold nothing down. Perfect timing. Yo, Mo, tell everybody out there how you was a little spicy when I said we were still going to do the podcast anyway in the group chat.

I wasn't spicy. I said do your thing. Yeah do the podcast anyway in the group chat. I wasn't spicy. I said, do your thing. Yeah, but don't LOL. That was my way. It was a LOL in front of it. No, because the way you said Maul is something. Maybe not Maul, so I just laughed at that. Oh, okay.

I thought it was spicy. No, no, no. There's never no spice. Maul, tell us. Tell us. Tell us. Tell us. We're on LeBron now, Maul tell us tell us tell us tell us we're on LeBron now Maul

and you're our NBA guy reporting live from Staples Center what's happening I'm nowhere near the Staples Center you are at the signing party

you are at the Staples Center we could lie they wouldn't know god damn this nigga snitching yeah I mean we spoke about it earlier

yo man I'm just the only reason why I don't like it is because I know that LeBron is only there for personal reasons. It's not really to win a title, to bring a title to LA. Every time you hear somebody say, oh, LeBron, everybody is so invested. Yeah, you know his kids. I've never seen so many people invested in a player's kids a day in my life. Well, he's not hiding a child. That's life. Well, he's not hiding a child. That's why. Well, he's not hiding a child.

That is true. But I mean, it's like, you know, I mean, people are like, oh, his son wants to go to high school. It's like, I don't know where Jordan's son wants to go to high school at. That's why they never made it. This guy is such a Laker fan, man. But you're not happy that the best player in the world was on your team? I would be happy, Joe, if the objective was to

win a title. But that's not the objective. And even with that team now, it's a bunch of DUIs waiting. Rondo and Luke Walton's going to get into it. It's like, I'm not happy with that team, man. Yeah, but that's not the team that's going to be the team on opening night, Paul. You understand that, right?

And it's hard to get a DUI in traffic. Yeah, but, I mean, even then, Joe, it's like, what else can we do? Like, ain't nobody. Listen, we're going to keep it all the way real. That team in Oakland is winning again. I don't know that. No, you know that. You know that.

Come on. You ever pulled your Achilles? Huh? That doesn't matter. Take Cousins out of there. Good three-peat. If I take Cousins out of there, they almost got smoked

last Western Conference Finals by Houston. They almost got smoked? They almost got smoked. That's a bit dramatic. I don't think that the Warriors really respond well to pressure, if you want me to be honest. So, not smoked, but I don't think that the Warriors really respond well to pressure, if you want me to be honest. So not smoked, but I don't think that they were the favorite in that game. And I think they felt that way too in Houston.

I don't think they were too confident if Chris Paul was there. That's all I'm saying. And DeMarcus Cousins, I need to see how he performs coming off an injury. And he ain't really in the greatest shape to play Warriors-style basketball. So I don't know that. I don't know that yet. Joe, all DeMarcusarcus cousins has to do is do what david west was doing just shoot free throw free throw line jumpers all game david west wasn't starting david west was playing seven minutes a game yeah but this is what i'm saying all demarcus cousins gotta do is set screen pick and pop that's it and run up and

down well yeah i mean he can do that. Listen, the Achilles injury is not what it used to be in the 90s and back in the day. Like, the way he plays rehab now, like, you come back from that stronger than ever. Like, people are putting a lot on it. DeMarcus Cousins is going to be just fine. It's not like he was a high-flying, high-jumping big. You know what I'm saying?

That wasn't his game anyway. We've got breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, Maul. Dwight Howard has just signed. Oh, no, he didn't sign. He worked his buyout out. Get out of here, Van. Don't call me back now. He worked his buyout out, and he's now on the –

oh, he's trying to go to the Wizards. Dwight Howard. Is that breaking news? Round of applause. the Wizards. Dwight Howard. Is that breaking news? Round of applause for him. Round of applause for Dwight Howard. I'm not mad at that. I mean, it depends on what Dwight is at, where he's at mentally. I don't give a fuck where he's at.

The Knicks could have had him for the same money as Joakim Noah. So I would have took him instead of Joakim Noah. Dwight Howard had a good season last season. Joakim Noah went to the jungle and grew a beard on y'all. Look what New York do to players. Oh, so wait. So good. All right, so I'm glad you saw them all.

I was kicking it with Jimmy Butler at Mark Wahlberg's house, right? Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, hold on, hold on. First of all, first of all, I'm going to need you to get a vacuum and pick up all the names you just dropped. No, no, I dropped them earlier. That's why I feel so comfortable doing it now. Listen, this is my new theory here. Well, a new theory, but my old theory.

Adam Silver is setting up for the Lakers in New York to be dominant again. I know this has been an old thing. This has been an old thing where an old theory where an old theory where niggas are like, yo, the league needs the major markets. That stopped being the case years ago. But now I think Adam Silver himself is making

a concentrated effort to get the Lakers back popping and the Knicks back popping to get the league where he wants to be. You said Boston, bro. Boston's popping. Boston has never not been popping. There was a couple years. Yeah, popping. Boston has never not. But they've never not been popping. There was a couple years.

Yeah, in between there was some years. Fam, they got Ray Allen and all them niggas. I lived in my first Edgewater crib. They've been popping for a little while. Yeah, in between the Ray Allen shit and now, there was some time. Yeah, there was some downtime. Where was the downtime? Between Ray Allen and the shit that happened last year.

Oh, there was downtime. There was downtime. There was downtime. You're right. You're right. You're right. But Boston is popping. Boston, they'll be there. But the Knicks small, Porzingis won't play, right?

So they're going to get a high draft pick because they're going to be super, super trash. I think there's probably four kids in that draft that I like a lot. R.J. Barrett being the one that I would like the Knicks to get. So now, with the Knox kid, the next year's draft pick, Porzingis, and the two people that I think will end up on the Knicks, because I do think they're going to end up with two people, I also think next summer is when the Warriors... Yo, Mo.

Yo, Mo. Mo. Yo, Mo, where are you, man? That is hilarious. Only if I could tell y'all. Tell us. This is great. This is not great.

Getting that Namin at the Michelle's Mall. Mall at the Happy Enders. Definitely in Korea town right now. You can't put your order in my G. Tell us what you're there for. Yo, I want to laugh so hard right now, man. I don't know where this nigga's at. Where that Chinese is so fluent and clear.

You know what, though, Joe? You know that the format of change is coming. Yeah, I know. You talking about the draft format? No, the playoffs. The playoffs format. It has to happen now. I saw somebody say that, but I still don't think that's going to happen.

No, it has to. Why? It has to happen now. I still don't think that's going to happen. No, it has to. Why? It has to happen now. Because the West is going to be so heavy that it's like they're going to have to have more than just the best eight teams in the West in there.

Yeah, because the Knicks might win 17 games and make the playoffs in the East. This is what I'm saying. That's why the change has to happen. It has to. Let me tell you something. If Kyrie Irving ends up on the Knicks next summer, I don't even know what I'm going to do. Somebody get smacked. I got to do something extreme.

I got to be extreme. I love Kyrie. Yeah, I heard it in your voice just now. Damn. Kyrie's from Jersey. Don't do that. Yeah, that's true true it's a Jersey thing you tried to make me you tried to make me

whack but I had a backup I had backup how many games you called when he was at St. Patrick's I did see him

at St. Patrick's yeah alright Joe I did see him at St. Patrick's you was at Elizabeth watching Kyrie Irving I used to frequent

the high school games in Jersey St. Anthony's St. Pat's St. um what's the other one that used to get busy I don't remember now St. Benedict's St. Benedict Pat's, St. What's the other one that used to get busy? I don't remember now.

St. Benedict's. St. Benedict's, yes. That was a Jersey thing, the high school games. They still are. Hudson Catholic. I see. My son is going to these fucking games like he got game. Fuck out of here, Trey.

The chicks used to be at the armory. I see what Trey was doing there. I know what he was doing. Maul, next summer, who comes to your team? Because that's when the real plan happens for the Lakers next summer, the same way with the Knicks. That's when the Warriors dynasty is over because Klay Thompson is going to leave. Klay Thompson is the one that is going to get the fuck out of there

and feel like he could do it on his own with more than four dribbles. I don't think he can. But he's going to go to Phoenix. I don't know why you think Klay Thompson can't do that. Because I've yet to see him dribble the ball more than four times and be effective. I think he'll go to a team where there's not other players to take the attention away.

And that hand in his face, that jumper look a little different without Steph Curry on the other side. We've seen niggas that can shoot before. Yeah. But you've also seen what Clay does when Steph was injured. He wasn't playing. I've seen him score 70 points in 10 minutes. Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. Well, you've been to the park and seen the nigga with a jet jumper get hot at the park. And now their team won the next 15 falls. So what are you talking about? When a guy with a jump shot gets hot, he's just hot. Yeah, that's true. So, I mean, what do you want me to do? One of the best shooters ever.

But I think he's going to leave. So, those are all of my hot takes. That's all I got. And KD stays? Yeah, yeah, KD stays. KD stays for sure. KD stays. He ain't budging.

He ain't going nowhere. Mo, what you think about Paul George staying? Because he was coming to your Lakers. You predicted that. Yeah, but I kind of figured after, like about Paul George staying? Because he was coming to your Lakers. You predicted that. Yeah, but I kind of figured after the last two weeks that he was going to stay, though. I kind of felt that he was staying in OKC. Yeah, when fucking

Russell Westbrook said that him and Kanye was throwing a big Paul George party in Wyoming. I was like, oh, they ain't throwing that for him to leave. Yeah. I like that. I like him staying, though. I like that. Yeah, somebody got to leave in the first round. I was going to say, I don't throwing that for him to leave. Yeah. I like that. I like him staying, though. I like that. Yeah, somebody got to leave in the first round.

We need to see. I was going to say, I don't know much is going to happen with that. We need a few of those. Hey, Melo's still getting his 30 million bag, huh? Melo getting a bag. He don't care what none of y'all say. You saying it, too. None of y'all.

You down? Only the Chinese massage parlor has the landline. Yeah, this is crazy, Maul. I don't know where you at, my G-Bone. Maul's getting a happy ending. But this is why you missed the podcast. Yo. They got those spots out here.

I love this. Maul, you got any Nicki takes on the DM? Yo, I ain't gonna lie, man. I gotta throw't going to lie, man. I got to throw my Nicki card in, man. I won't die yet. Yo, round of applause.

Hold up. Hold up, Maul. Round of applause. Yeah, man. I can't fight for it no more. You can't, right? It's obvious now. Yeah, it's just.

You know what? Tell Nicki to call me, man. I can fix this. Maul more serious question all jokes aside do you think nikki minaj is on is on drugs no i don't i don't think it's drugs i think that um i think that she's just being uh i think she's going through something just mentally like she's just i don't know who's in she's just, I don't know who's in her corner right now. I don't know who's in her camp. But I think that she's definitely spending way too much time on social media,

reading comments and reading what people are saying about her. It seems to be a high level of insecurity right now that I'm surprised at because I think Nikki doesn't have any reason to be insecure. But, you know know that's just how i see it but it's a lot of insecurity going on right now i think it's everything you're saying and drugs yeah i think i don't know i think i think there's a pill in there somewhere i think she's having a little mental episode but i think some things some substances are contributing to that i don't think it's that man man, because when you see her in person,

and you see her, like, you know, in interviews, she doesn't have, like, she doesn't look, like, erratic. She doesn't have erratic behavior, like, on film. Like, when you see her, like, you know, in an interview or something, she doesn't look like she's on drugs. She doesn't look unhealthy. I will say that. Yeah, like, she doesn't look like she's on drugs. She doesn't look unhealthy. I will say that. Yeah, like she doesn't look unhealthy.

Y'all do know that... But wait, y'all do know... When have y'all seen her without her glam squat or without a filter or without... Like, when have y'all seen her to be able to look at her skin, to be able to look at her eyes, to be able to really look at her pores? She's a superstar that we're never going to.

And that's the way it is with superstars that are women. Oh yeah, no, that's fine. I'm not mad at it. I'm saying you're just not going to. I just can't use the, she looks great. I can't really see how she looks. I can only go off how she's behaving, but. Alright, do we need to ask Maul anything else? Maul, we bodied the two hour podcast

without you. You might be like cousins, man. Don't do that to my man, Maul. We gonna see.

I said I'm still holding on Just to see you fair today WJBP 169. That was brand new music from my girl, Adria Kane. Make sure you check that out. Not only is she a good artist, she suggests amazing restaurants in the Toronto area. So if you happen to be visiting Toronto,

reach out to her for the restaurant picks. You saw if you allowed in Toronto. I can't even get in. You can get in now, right? No. I got to work it out.

Real quick before we leave. That's why you like Scorpion. All right, I see what's going on here. Also what I liked that 40 did on Scorpion, really loved his jazzy play on the old Aaliyah and Boyz II Men song in Interlude.

40? When I was listening to that Boyz II Men Interlude, and I know a lot of people out there probably don't know that's a Boyz II Men Interlude on the B-side toward the end, but I was listening to it and I'm like, damn, why do I remember

this being such an important part of my childhood? I used to love that interlude. 40 gotta be a really big R&B hit because it's very specific R&B shit that he samples. It's not like the super obvious records.

I like the Quiet Storm shit. We gotta have a 40 conversation one day. I don't know if it's this podcast, but 40 needs some credit, man. All right. Even if you've ever disagreed with Drake's music

and what you like and don't like, it's never because how it's mixed, how it sounds, or 40's production. And 40 has a range. Of course, it's always 40's sound, but he still does the pop shit. He still does the Jamaican shit.

He still does the R&B shit he does the rap shit we also can't discredit the boy Wanda and all the other producers that they have in their camp at the same time and that's not saying

to discredit 40 but I feel like 40 I'm not gonna be wrong I feel like 40 overseas all that yeah for sure anytime a record comes in it's touching 40 first

yeah most likely yeah that's his job he's the executive producer on everything so but I just don't want to discredit the rest of the guys that are helping making those records oh yeah yeah it's touching 40 first. Yeah, most likely. That's his job. He's the executive producer and everything. But I just don't want to discredit the rest of the guys

that are helping making those records. Oh, yeah, yeah. By giving all the credits to 40. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of talented people over there.

No, no, I totally agree. That's all I'm saying. Wanda knows how I feel about his production. No doubt. I'm crediting 40 for what he does with all of the stems.

Yeah. When they tweet that picture with the door, when they Instagram that picture with the door when they instagram that picture with the door closed and says do not disturb i envision only 40 in there yeah well the dude gadget that mixes all this stuff too is also okay i don't know shit see i don't know gadget i don't know i just like to guess shit um hope everybody has a safe fourthth of July. Don't drink too much and drive. Stay clear of all danger.

I don't know if that's still a thing. 4th of July is when it used to go down. Still go down. Yeah, be safe out there. Yeah, be safe. Hope you enjoyed our holiday podcast and we will be back. I really wanted to take off this week, but I'm for the people, man.

Yeah, no doubt. I wasn't going to go get a happy ending like Maul. Yo, that was wild. Why is Maul? Only Maul would be there right now. It's the daytime over there. That's the best time for the run and talk. It's too early to get your ass ate, my nigga. You gotta

get out of there. What was she saying? Hey, if we got a listener out there that understands that shit, tell us what she was saying, please. Cause I want to know what was happening. And that's all we got. Peace.
