That's nasty sauce. Wait, what? Nasty. You go bareback with the... No, I wear a wife beater under my A wife beater? That's nasty. Wait, what? Nasty. You go bareback with the... No, I wear a wife beater under my sweaters. A whole t-shirt? Yeah, I wear a whole t-shirt. I'm not a teenager.

You're supposed to wear a t-shirt. I'm an adult. You're supposed to wear a t-shirt. Nah, because you don't want... If it's wool or something, then it's like itching on your shoulders and shit. Trust me on this one. You're supposed to wear...

You still wear a t-shirt under your polo, too. You're supposed to wear a t-shirt underneath your sweater. And you are kind of supposed to wear one underneath the polo, too. For what it's worth. Yeah. All right, guys. That's all. But itshirt underneath your sweater. And you are kind of supposed to wear one underneath the polo too for what it's worth. Yeah. All right, guys.

That's all. But it is a good sweater though. It is a good sweater. Riveting content. Hey, man. Gotta help him with the sauce, man. Savon, put on our Twitter,

let's do a poll. Do you wear a wife beater or a t-shirt under your sweater? I don't even wear it to our polo. And we can't, we have to stop

saying wife beaters. That is true. They killed us about that about two years ago. What's the proper term? Tank top. Tank top. Okay. A-shirt?

I've never seen it. I'm not an A-shirt. I've never seen A-shirt. Isn't A-shirt a shirt? I've never said A-shirt a day in my life. And I won't start now. It's confusing. That terminology is confusing.

I got some real good guys here with me today. Rory is here. Parks is here. E-Rab is here. Maul is here. Savon is confusing. I got some real good guys here with me today. Rory is here. Parks is here. E-Rab is here. Maul is here. Savon is here. And Alex is here. Gentlemen, how are you doing?

How are you feeling? Great, because the greatest app in the world has got our back. Brought to you by, powered by, empowered by, enabled by, tolerated by, sponsored by, none other than our favorite app, Cash App. So what's up, y'all? The GOAT. I've been getting a lot of use with the Cash App. It's fun playing with the Bitcoins and the stocks.

It's nice, man. You like it? It's nice. Yeah, yeah. I'm having a little fun with it. Okay. I get better at it, but I feel like I'm getting the game that I should have been getting into a long time ago.

2021. My barber finally is taking cash out. Nice. But having to go to the ATM for 20 fucking years. Finally, I can show to the barber shop without cash. Peasantry. It's great. I don't keep cash on me anymore.

It kind of sucks. The barber cash thing is kind of a nostalgic thing, though. I think most barbers still appreciate cash. I judge any barber who still is taking cash. Judging on what? Sounds like a good way to get out of taxes to me. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm just saying.

Because you have to adapt, and there are a lot of people that are not carrying cash at all now. I know I used to think dudes was weirdos when they said that. I used to think that, too. Yeah, I used to think that. weirdos when they said that. I used to think that too. Yeah, I used to think that. Something. I don't keep nothing. But now that I'm a little more educated, I understand why. I think you should always keep cash on you.

I agree with you. It just doesn't come up as much anymore. Why do you think that? Same way when we was in the airport and we were all in the store and the computers and everything went down and you had food in your hand and couldn't get nothing because you didn't have cash i was the only one in the store that had cash so at that moment i was king of the store how did that make you feel like did you announce that you're a king of the store absolutely i stood right at the register said ma'am do you need something did you grab a crown from the burger king next door no i just i just

i was just sitting there counting the same three hundred dollars like what's up man you mean yeah exactly see he's gonna computers crash everybody gonna be sitting there like this the same $300. Like, what's up? You know what I mean? Who needs what? Yeah, who needs what? Yeah, exactly. See? When the computers crash, everybody going to be sitting there like this. For the loan? He was the loan shark of Hudson News?

I mean, come on. I held Hudson News down for seven minutes. What you want me to do? I was the king of Hudson News for seven minutes. Oh, Shops Hudson News for goodness sake.

You know what I mean? Yeah. That is funny. So you're not supposed to carry cash because, one, you spend it a lot faster when you have it. Like, you can't keep track of exactly what you spent it on.

And the older you get, they say you're supposed to just keep track of it all. I'm the complete opposite with that. If I have a lot of cash in my pocket, I don't spend it the way I would with my card because I can feel it in my pocket. I agree with you. And when it gets a little lower, I'm like, oh, I got to relax. But you're not grabbing a receipt for everything that you purchase. Well, I'm not regardless. That's true. I'm not regardless. Yeah, but at least when it's digital, lower, I'm like, oh, I got to relax. But you're not grabbing a receipt for everything that you purchase. Well, I'm not regardless. That's true.

I'm not regardless. Yeah, but at least when it's digital, you have a digital receipt somewhere. You have a receipt somewhere, so all of your purchases can be tracked. Well, back to taxes. I'm only taking the time to explain this because I used to laugh at people for not carrying cash. Me too. And I was ignorant. And the more I learned, I was like, okay, at least I understand why people aren't carrying cash. Me too. And I was ignorant, and the more I learned, I was like, okay, at least I understand

why people aren't carrying cash. Like right now, I'm coming to grips with not having money in your bank account. Like all the people that I meet with money, they don't have it just sitting so they could see it, because they feel better when they could see it. I was one of those people for a long time. I'm just getting over that.

Like, all right, it's there. You just can't see it. It exists. It's just not liquid to take out. It shouldn't sit there. Well, when you start really making your money work, your money doesn't sit in your account.

So I had to get over that feeling once I made that transition. Sitting there doing nothing? Nothing at all. Yeah, it's nasty. No, they give you interest. They give you a penny every month. This's gonna be fucking when we all it's coming what's coming and i started doing some math over the weekend about just how long i could stay alive if i

changed some habits i might could see 2060 how old would you be in 2060 30 years from now yeah I think you could see 2060 alright and if we talk about 2060 and what I think the world will look like then I might be around to see some change hopefully

2060 yeah fam if nothing changed in 2060 I'm just going out like grandma was like alright y'all peace

take care of your take care of your brothers hold it down things will change by then yeah hey grandma was like hey y'all, peace. Take care of your brothers. Yeah, hopefully things won't change by then, yeah. Hey, grandma was like, hey, y'all take care of each other, you hear? Yeah. I'm out of here. Yo, I was on the couch so sad grandma was leaving. She was in the bed chilling, ready to go.

How y'all doing? Rest in peace, grandma, by the way. Rest in peace, granddaddy, while I'm at it. Rest in peace to anybody out there who may have lost somebody that they love.

Shout out to anybody who's fighting depression. I know times are hard right now. Like we said earlier. Shout out to people battling addiction and alcohol problems, man. One of my friends has been hospitalized a couple times due to drinking during COVID. So this is fucking scary shit, man. Yeah. Shout out to y'all.

Oh, man. We don't know the cause of death, right? COD, no? No. No, I don't think so. So now that's every pod that we've done since 2021 has started. There's been a death. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, well, there's death every day. So, you know, that's how how it happens I'd like there to stop being so many notable deaths right yes there are deaths

every day well that's what happens you know that's part of 52 years old yeah that's that's really young I didn't even know

that Prince Marky D was only 52 super young they were their kids you know when they blew up like legit teenagers and they were one of the first big rap groups like for real for real They were their kids, you know, when they blew up. Yeah. Like, legit teenagers. Mm-hmm.

And they were one of the first big rap groups, like, for real, for real. Absolutely. Like, superstars. Absolutely. Before I knew really what hip-hop was and rap was in the 80s, I was a kid kid. I knew who the Fat Boys was. Right. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm.

Like, they were in TV shows, cartoons. Yeah. Everything. No, they were superstars. Yeah. For sure. Absolute superstars. Multiple movies, multiple guest appearances in movies. everything they were superstars for sure absolute superstars multiple movies

multiple guest appearances in movies one of my favorite movies going up Disorderly that was one of my favorites hell yeah you know what I mean

but yeah Prince Marky D man rest in peace Rush Limbaugh passed as well I don't have much to say about that one

but he did pass and it's my job to let you know who passed this is also the one year anniversary of Pop Smoke's death. I hate calling those anniversaries.

Yeah. There needs to be another term for that. Death-iversary or something. It just shouldn't be anniversary. Yeah. That year flew by even with everything

that happened. But I can't believe it's been a year is it me or like are there people out that sound like pop smoke of course it's not just me right yeah he definitely um he he left a imprint and a style and a sound i think he is again inspiration he inspired a sound for sure. And that happened before he passed. Yeah. People were imitating him prior to that.

And some say he was inspired. His sound was inspired by other music, other genres as well. Yeah, no, the UK stuff, for sure. But I mean, he definitely added. Add to the design to do something new. Yeah. He made it very Brooklyn, as did Fabio and the rest of the Brooklyn drill scene. But Pop had that complete different tone in his voice that separated him from everybody.

I'm not so familiar with that young man you just showed in the screen, but he does sound like Pop Smoke a little bit. I don't know if that's on purpose or what. When people do that in hip hop, I never know how to take it. I never know if it's on purpose or what. When people do that in hip-hop, I never know how to take it. I never know if it's on purpose or not. Kurok Ski from Fat Boyz is still alive, by the way. Got it. The third member.

Got it. Yeah, like I never know. Like when Gravy came out, I didn't know if that was just his voice or if he was doing that on purpose. Was that great? No, Gorilla Black? It's happened a few times. I was going to ask Gravy.

I mean, Gravy played Biggie, but I don't think he sounded like Biggie when he really rapped. It's a certain tone and a certain just voice, a texture that reminds you of other artists. Shine with Big. Yeah.

Although, I don't think that stuck. At first, I felt like he sounded like Big. Yeah, but the more you listen to Shine, they don't sound alike. The more you listen to Shine, you're like, okay, no. They don't sound alike. Action with Ghostface.

Wes with Ghostface. But then you talk to them. Is that done on purpose? That's your... No, because that's where this is. It's subconsciously. It's subconsciously. Like, it's not done.

I don't think these artists are trying to sound like anybody. Oh, no. I mean, first of all, you sound how you sound to some degree. Right. And then it's just a matter of what you do with the sound you know what i'm saying because then some people end up sounding lyrically or whatever similar to the other person that they may or not may not sound like and that's probably subconscious like this is how this record is supposed to sound right because subconsciously that's how biggie or pop smoke or ghostface

sounded yeah i don't think they're hopefully not intentionally setting out to sound like them because subconsciously that's how Biggie or Pop Smoke or Ghostface sounded. I don't think they're, hopefully not intentionally setting out to sound like them. I realized that other people sound like Pop Smoke. I was at a kickback and I had to aux. What a mistake. I had to aux at a kickback. And I got lazy, so I stopped paying attention and like all the sleepy jams came on and it was like girls there.

So that, that wasn't a move that can go bad. Yeah. So I just did what any guy would do in this situation. I just disconnected. I didn't keep the tunes going or nothing. I just stopped the music. You bowed out graceful.

Sometimes you gotta do that. And then, and then the next person that grabbed the org, she was a girl and she was younger. She was 27 and she went right to drill. I said, why didn't I think of that? Whoa,

changed the whole vibe once Fabio came on. Yeah, that shit works. No, no, yeah. Girls like to drill.

Yeah. You could have been the I don't know, they shake ass to it. Yeah, of course. Hell yeah. This is what it's made for.

I'm sitting here trying to play Victoria Monet and shit. Nah, you're going too. Trying to make it romantic. You're going romantic and they don't want romantic. Trying to make it romantic? Yeah, yeah. They're going romantic

and they don't want romantic. I'd be thinking they still want some romance. They want to get drilled. Yeah, they want to get drilled. But I'm scared to go down that lane when I have the auxiliary

because I know drill on a surface level. I know all the dope shit that the rest of the city knows. Yeah. But then I'll be around women. You can't get in your bag that know drill.

I know women that get in their bag on drill. Like, oh, you're just going to play that Favio hit record? Right. We've been listening to this eight months ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now you that guy playing the hits. Right. That's nasty.

We're the old guys. Yeah. I know what the kids like. I know I'm the old guy with the alls going. I'm definitely that guy now. With this drill shit, I'm very surfaced. Yeah. Very surfaced Yeah Very surfaced

She took that all She's Favo Mubi I was like oh Old living room starts Dancing around I went upstairs

You got out of there Yeah I wasn't gonna be out Done that way Favi Mubi I was like whoa That's when the ass

Will start bouncing I went to get some ones. I'm going to start making it rain in his living room. Yeah. Rest in peace, Pop Smoke. Always. So where do you want to begin? Let's begin with rap lyrics.

Hip hop, hippity, the hip hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip hip hop. I wanted to chime in on this whole Meek Mill, Kobe lyric thing. And I wanted to side with the people. For those of you that don't know what we're talking about, a song was released. Was this a Lil Baby record? I think it was a snippet, right? A Lil Baby snippet came out featuring Meek

and Meek rapped a punchline that said, what is it? Where is it? This bitch I'm fucking always telling me that she love me, but she ain't never showed me. Yeah, and if I ever lack, I'm going out with my chopper, it'd be another Kobe.

And all the blogs picked this up and they said it was really insensitive, distasteful, just all around bad and they tore his ass up for a little bit in which he replied man y'all soft those weren't his exact words oh here are his exact words um somebody promo a narrative and y'all follow it y'all internet antics cannot stop me shit like zombie land or something lol they're paying to influence y'all now it's almost like mind control wake up

okay i mean he's not wrong he's not wrong in his statements i do think that the line was probably a little bit insensitive but um he's not wrong in that you know his analysis is correct but not in this instance okay that was it's an unnecessary bar the bar wasn't dope enough where you had to talk about it this soon and i'm not being soft i'm just i'm reading the room of just the time right now yeah it's not being so if it was a crazy like real bar where it was like all right i get it the metaphor was way too fire it's not a great bar and it's unnecessary I'm with you on that that the bar wasn't

it didn't hit like it wasn't like a wow and I'm not saying it needs to be a lyrical miracle it's not a trash bar but it's unnecessary

it's unnecessary it is a trash bar I wouldn't say it's a trash bar only because I'm not saying the punchline Moe hear me out real quick before you explain I'm not saying that the punchline

is all the way trash okay I'm saying the bars punchline, Mo. Hear me out real quick before you explain. I'm not saying that the punchline is all the way trash. Okay. I'm saying the bars are trash, meaning bar one and bar two have nothing to do with it. Zero. That's what I'm getting at. It was unnecessary. You didn't even need to say it. No, listen.

Maybe if bar one was different leading into your Kobe punch, I may feel different. Well. But bar one. No, no, no. My bitch is never, never, never. I didn't hear it. I didn't hear the record. I don't know how he led into that bar. I don't know how he came out of that bar. Kobe punch I may feel different Well But bar one No no no My bitches never I didn't hear it I didn't hear the record I don't know how he

Led into that bar I don't know how he Came out of that bar Well Park you had the snippet Can you play it So I don't know Give me a second But what I'm speaking to

Is the fact that people Are killing You're saying this is hip hop And It's a metaphor It's hip hop It's I understand

I'm Listen That Kobe death Like Really Like Hurt me me to my core. Just like anybody else that grew up watching Kobe was a fan of him. Prayers to his family, prayers to him and everybody else.

Lives were lost in that horrific accident. But I don't think that this bar was a shot or trying to make fun of or make light of that. I don't think so either. I don't think so. Do you guys want me to play it? I think that the snippet is literally only these two bars, but let me play it.

I don't know if that changes anything, but sometimes... And I don't think that at all, bro. I don't think it does. No, no, rewind it. Play the bar before it. Oh, that's where it starts. That's the only part of the show.

Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. We didn't hear the whole thing, but, you know, we have to listen to it. Well, I can read it and see that bar one don't lead into bar two. Because I felt the same way, but we don't know what he said before that, and we don't know what he's saying coming out of that. So I just, I don't want to get into that part of it. But I do understand the internet reacting a certain way to it, because you mentioned in kobe you mentioned in

you know the the accident and it's been a year we just got past you know the i don't like to anniversary like you do in death but that just happened so i understand it but let's keep it in what it is for a second it's hip-hop it's metaphors it's plays off of words is it hip is it hip-hop today more it is that the chopper the helicopter and the chopper that meek is referring to two totally different things i understand so it's like you know i mean it's it's just a play on words it's a play on so you don't think too soon maybe too soon i'm with you on that i'm not i'm not against that maybe too lovable a guy i'm not against that either i'm not against that either. I'm not against that either. But we do have to remember that he's more so, I think when Meek was doing with that bar,

I was putting it in the sense of we lost the legend in that sense. And if I'm caught lacking, I'm going out with my chopper. It will be another. We will lose another legend. I understand the bar. I completely understand the bar. You know what I mean? So it's like I can't kill Meek for that bar.

I'm not killing Meek either. I can't kill him. But the internet is. I can't kill him for for that bar. I'm not killing Meek either. But the internet is. I can't kill him for the bar because I've done it too many times. Right. And you don't mean no malice with it, though. I don't think Meek did either. I also was in a different era of hip hop. True.

True. I don't know if I would be able to do some of that today, nor do do i know if i would today maybe i'm still not gonna knock him for it because you were mcu come from that that's what we do right i mean that's our brains are wired to to do that especially if people of a certain age because in in our age bracket all of us in the room really especially shock value bars was a thing. Absolutely. I grew up on shock value bars. Yeah.

Yeah. But it took me, it has also never been this shock. And I think he would even say he's not this shock value bar, nor is he the punchline guy. Um, what do you mean by that? By Lloyd Banks,

this, this era, fabulous Joe button, but big L, but yeah, but I can't, I can't. I can't. Okay. So he doesn't era he is. Joe Budden. Big L. Lord Finesse. Happy birthday to Finesse. He doesn't do that.

Happy birthday to Lord Finesse. Happy birthday to the legend Lord Finesse. But Meek doesn't... See, Meek comes from battle rap. So he is a punchline guy because he comes from battle rap. In the sense that you're speaking in his music, no, he don't lean heavy on punchlines.

That ain't his. He don't lean heavy on punchlines he don't lean heavy on punch lines i get that but he he he he can't get into that but when you pop out with one again i'm not gonna kill him for it but when you pop out with one it should hit a certain way i get it and and more it took me a long time it took me a long time and i maybe still don't have this down pack trust me i'm not most mature guy. But it took me a long time to handle things better, understanding someone else's position. And what I mean by that is, it's kids involved. I would hate to wrap this line, and one of the kids is a fan of mine, and now they hear it, and now that's how they heard it.

Fab was telling a story one time uh in an interview and he was like he said a line about solange and then he went to a party and beyonce stepped to him like okay like dog come on nigga what is you doing right that was like oh it's a punch it's like that good yeah but when you thinking like the other person's listening. You understand. Probably. It might handle how you. I understand. So we know Meek. I'm on the side.

We know Meek is a sportsman. We know Meek is a Kobe fan. Exactly. That's why I'm on the side of too soon. You know, too, you know, maybe a little insensitive. I don't ever want MCs to have to think about that too, though. Yeah, because that's not. Like I get, of course, Beyonce is have to think about that too though yeah because that's not like I get

of course Beyonce is going to care about her little sister and approach who she has in association with like come on that's my sister

but I hope rappers don't have to think that I just think this one and I'm not killing Meek for it Meek shouldn't be cancelled I just think it was

bad timing like it was unnecessary I'm not mad at that I'm not mad dad I'm not mad let me respond to Rory yeah me neither I'm with you but I'm a fan I'm not mad at that I'm not mad but let me respond to Rory yeah me neither I'm with you

but I'm a fan I'm not a rapper so this is a selfish fan point right I'm with you and again I'm asking questions to be educated I haven't put an album out

in five years hip hop today they just drove that girl Mulatto through the mud for her name yeah like I'm just asking hip hop today maybe you do have to do They just drove that girl, Mulatto, through the mud for her name. Yeah. Like, I'm just asking,

hip hop today, maybe you do have to do more thinking than we're used to. And you know what I'll tell you though, and I don't know if this is a second point. Which is why I would fail.

I don't know if this is a second point. I would get canceled. Mulatto was bigger because of it. Because of name change? That started her career. Yeah, I would say that. To the next level, that took her to the next level.

Well, it gave her- From where she was. It gave her a level from where she was of course she had great records and people fucked with her that put her that put eyes on her and because she made good music it helped because she got all that attention and also had a good catalog

I understand what you're saying I do but she I don't think she's had really a hit with her name change yet has she? I don't know if she's really put out she didn't put out no music it just happened I know that's what I'm saying that's why I don't know if she's really put out she didn't put out that's why I don't know

if it's taking to the next level yet Rory's just saying that it helped her create like new listenerships like new more people are

paying attention to Big Lotto I'll call her Big Lotto I like that name I just think that's fly for a girl I like that name Big Lotto's a dope for a girl

let me call you a groupie I'm not a groupie Big Lotto happens to be a very talented artist, so that helps when you get that attention and you have the talent to back it up. Yeah. That doesn't always work with everyone when they get that quick attention on the timeline for two days, and then it's just like, whatever, let me go find the next thing that's going to make me get attention.

Right. But again, Meek, I get it it but i just think it was bad time see i don't like the bar but i like his stance on it like standing his ground no i'm rapping for sure fuck this i like that and he did put out a post uh saying rest in honoring kobe bryant kobe and gg bryant uh their signature on the hat saying rest in peace on the dream chasers hat so he did do that listen I'm not Meek did not have any malice behind yeah I'm not like I said I don't I don't know Meek on a super personal level but I'm more than positive he did not mean any malice or disrespect to Kobe his family any of the other victims any of their families I don't Meek didn't he didn't intend any disrespect and this single is still not out right but you can be

disrespectful unintentionally absolutely so some of this all might be a little bit of marketing by the way and that's my other thing too right like like when you when any record sounds like a marvin gaye sample rory a jump uh joke and say ah careful now careful that if the family's coming to get you we make that joke because we've seen a few instances where the family will come and get you right right we see what vanessa bryan is on as far as she's not playing she's not playing she's not playing with kobe's name his likeness none of y'all nike who the ring all whoever all of y'all we We know she's not playing, right? So we can imagine that if she heard it, maybe she wouldn't take kindly to it. Oh, absolutely.

So you can be unintentionally distasteful. Absolutely. No, you can be unintentionally distasteful for sure. And if Meek saw Vanessa Bryant and she said something to him the way that Beyonce said something to Fab, I don't think Meek would double down. I think he would apologize. I think Meek would double down i think he would apologize i think i'm willing i'm willing to go as far as to say when this song comes out this line won't even be on it

because i think i think meek is that i think meek is that type of guy i think if if vanessa brian or anybody from kobe's family was to reach out or publicly you know express how they felt about hearing that i one million percent meek would take that line out and change it and apologize like he because meek is not i get everything he's going through in the past few weeks he's not the favorite in the room sure i understand that but we're not gonna sit and act like meek is just some terrible guy like he's not you know i'm saying and i think that's what unfortunately starts to happen is you know one thing happens something else happens.

And then now it's like, oh, this guy's a piece of shit. He's an asshole. He's insensitive. He doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't. I think part of it probably, too, is that people with the whole prison reform agenda that he was on, rightfully so, because he was going through it. I think people thought maybe that you would see a different kind of maturity in the artistry maybe or something, which is probably unfair. It is unfair.

Well, he has rapped about that for sure. For sure. That doesn't mean he can't also do other shit. I still want party record, Meek. Right. But I think that people maybe in the back of their heads feel like he should be doing 444 now or something like that, which that's not him. That's not him. And again, we got to stop putting people

in positions that they're not ready to be in. I think that's the bigger conversation here. Like, I feel like a lot of the shit that Meek has going on, he was kind of pushed into it. I don't think he naturally grew into a lot of these situations. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Even in personal relationships, I think things happen in his life. He wasn't ready for certain things yet.

And none of us, you know, all of us, that's part of growing and maturing and becoming a man. Especially if you have all these eyes and ears on you. It's like any wrong move and you can become the villain. Right. And I think that's what's happening to Meek now. Like some weird way he's starting to look like he's the villain now. And I don't think that's who Meek is. Okay.

I'm not going back to argue. I heard the fans. We do have to close Meek at some point. We will quickly. This is a bigger conversation than just Meek. I heard the fans. Y'all thought I was annoying last week with the Meek thing. I understood.

I listened back. I sounded annoying. I apologize. You were annoying. I agree. I agree. What was the Meek thing last week? I do want to ask if there is any hypocrisy in what you're saying. Because it is kind of what I was saying with Meek is still going to be Meek.

And granted, he was coming out of a restaurant, from what I understand. It wasn't the club. I went back and looked. You were saying Meek shouldn't be nowhere near any club restaurant that Tekashi69 can sit outside of. You're also, you guys are saying that Meek is still himself and he's not ready for certain roles and he's easing into this type of thing kind of what i'm saying with meek is going to go where he's going to want to go meek likes to hang out where the young kids is at because he still makes that type of music meek likes to still do what meek likes to do no i understand

that part so is there any no i understand you feel anything what i said last week and i'm not i'm not being annoying I was being annoying last week I wasn't totally against What you were saying I think we just kind of Misunderstood what we were saying I was just saying To the point of

Once Meek exited That Or was walking out Of that parking lot The moment he sees this dude He was supposed to immediately Run For lack of better

I wouldn't say I wouldn't say run. I would say retreat, go back inside, tell whoever is in charge of the venue, listen, clear that out. I'm not going out there to my car until that dude is gone. Because you know with that moment or that energy,

you know what they want in that moment. You know what he's looking for. You can't give them that. That's all I was trying to say. You can't give them that moment because they're on a, he's on a different path than Meek. He's in different relationships than Meek. Meek has a different responsibility than he has. And I'm just saying where they're both from and the paths they're on that are different, they can still cross.

No, you, absolutely. That's all. Absolutely. We all live in the same world. We can cross. That's why the internet is the portal to hell because i agree with both you guys uh meek should have ran from that situation and the internet would have killed him and said look at me running that's why i said

i wouldn't say run but definitely go back inside and be like yo i'm not going out there like no matter what meek was going to lose in that situation just for walking to his car right how many rapper paths do y'all want to run across today like other artists i think they're intertwined to some degree not many i don't want to run across too many rappers regardless only because there's just two different type of you know let me not even say artists but entertainer this is a good conversation it's just not me i like that we bumped into like if i went to pergola i wouldn't mind if slack slack black was there hey black oh god who is slack black cool guy slack black cool guy anybody from lvrn lrnv lvrn anybody from there summer i'd be cool

with all that snow brandy and r&b maybe i can't name too many rappers that when they're pergola i'm gonna be i don't want to go to per to parole any young rappers yeah look at what Joe now I wouldn't mind if Brandi was at per gola of course didn't I don't think nobody would mind hanging out I was talking about what Joe no no but you know what it is too it's just the rapper the way the rapper lifestyle the way rappers move around the way they you know me like it's like you know they gonna show up with 20 of the homies yeah and you never mad at that because i'm from that i understand what that is like you just rappers move around differently well i think that was an interesting point that joe brought up of paths you'll cross with other rappers if you're on a

different path i think especially with covid where certain events in certain areas there's only so much money to get in certain areas. It doesn't matter if you're on a different path, you may end up there at a completely different type of events, but in the same city and you may come across that path. Absolutely. That's going to happen within hip hop. I don't care if you're the most conscious rapper on earth or the most,

I'm about it, about it. I don't even like to rap. I just want to kill people. It's going to happen. Sometimes you end up in the same room with people. You like, what the just want to kill people. Yeah. It's going to happen. Sometimes you end up in the same room with people. You're like, what the fuck am I doing in this room? It's going to happen no matter what.

But my thing is, you know. I'm leaving that room. Yeah, exactly. You know when it's like, nah, I'm out of here. No, I'm saying you can leave. I'm just suggesting that the room may exist. It does. Where you end up in it.

Oh, no, it absolutely does. You just have to have the wherewithal of when to leave. I ain't letting Rory do that that easy. Don't say, I'm not saying niggas can't leave. Well, you didn't say niggas, but... No, niggas never leave. No, sometimes people leave. That's totally not true.

Not often, but sometimes they do. It is not often where people leave. They stick around till the lights cut on, till the bitches go outside, till you can drive. Well, not anymore. But you drive around, you wait, you sit outside, parking lot,

but nobody ever leaves that's how it happens niggas ain't leaving but that's what I'm saying the smart ones know when it's time to leave I told y'all a few years ago I was in Starlets

and one of the little shooters from the gang was throwing up gang signs to Beyonce Beyonce was in Starlets? no the song was on I might be young

cause I'm ready oh yeah started banging yeah I'm gonna go yeah he let you know rep the set there's time

there's time no he let me know more than that he let me know that guns were stashed outside yeah all with his hands

yeah to Beyonce no I'm leaving it's time to go I don't want to stick around sorry but see that's not a good that's not a good example cause the strip club Yeah, to Beyonce. No, I'm leaving. It's time to go. I don't want to stick around there. It's getting more cold. Sorry. But see, that's not a good example

because the strip club is the strip club. Everybody goes to the strip club. Anywhere where all the rappers frequent, I don't want to go. But you go. No. Starlets is a spot. You go to the strip clubs.

I don't see all the rappers in Starlets. No, I see in Starlets, Uzi. Okay. Who I want to talk about, actually. You want to talk about Uzi? Yeah. What do you got for us? I'm going to tell you something I heard.

Okay. Don't attack me for this. Chatty Patty. I will not attack you for this. I'm going to tell you something I heard. It's a safe space. Maybe some exaggeration on it. Okay.

I overheard someone telling me that they heard some of Uzi's project that he's working on. Okay. I overheard someone telling me that they've heard some of Uzi's project that he's working on. Okay. Right? You follow me? Sure. They said it sounds like

his version of Thriller off the wall. What does that mean? Like when people say his version of Thriller, his version of Well, version of who was well that's what i said i'm not gonna tell you i know but you have to say names but were they uh 22 no this was a grown no listen this was a grown adult this was an adult someone older than me

someone who admittedly wasn't so familiar with uzi's body work. They didn't work for his label. No, not at all. So when they said that, I immediately asked myself the same thing Park said, like, what the fuck does that mean? Do you mean he made the greatest album of all time or some shit? So the person then started to tell me

so much vulnerability on whatever Uzi is working on. Like, he's really getting into his shortcomings with women. Yeah, I don't know if being vulnerable. Thriller off the wall, one of them. I don't know. I don't find either of them to be particularly vulnerable. They're disco records for the most part, but whatever. I see what you're.

Well, what was explained to me, well, maybe because of his vulnerability and him expressing whatever he's dealing with, going through with women, that this was his best body of work so far. Okay.

Okay, that's, okay. His thriller and his best album, not, two different things. His masterpiece. Yes.

His masterpiece. I think that's what, I think that's what the person was saying. I'm not mad at the person feeling like that. Maybe that's how they feel about it. No, no, no. It's coming out. We'll know.

I'm not mad at it either. I mean, and I don't think I'm Uzi's target audience, but I'm not mad at that take either. This is where it got interesting. They then started to tell me about a few A-list artists that were just hanging around Uzi. Stopping by the studio. Dapping them up. Shooting the shit. They call that the stew in the business. Talking.

That's what they call it. Sharing ideas. Oh, yes. Listening to unreleased music. You play yours, I'll play mine. We'll do a little bit of that. Linking and building is what they called it a couple years ago.

Yeah. But let's unpack it today. Okay. What the person was trying to tell me, I think, was that in the next however many months, a few niggas that we think got the mojo lost it. And they are trying to suck it out of Uzi. They're stopping by the studio playing best friend.

Oh, that old Lou. Hey, let me hear what you got. Text me. Hey, such and such and such. Linking and building. But what this person said was that these niggas that's stopping by

lost it. Ain't no more sauce, nigga. Now, I can't tell y'all the names. Okay. Because y'all think that I'm a nut. How could these people

have lost it and be sucking Uzi juice? But what I'll say is I wasn't so shocked when he said it. I have an idea who it is. I could kind of see a few niggas doing that. And I'm not all the way familiar with Uzi sauce. All I know is,

when I go in Starlet, he a stand up nigga. And niggas at the back minding his business, throwing a bunch of money, fucking with the bitches, security. It's not a scene. It's not a lot going on. He to himself. And niggas at the back Minding his business Throwing a bunch of money Fucking with the bitches Security It's not a scene It's not a lot going on

He to himself I like how he move When I see him I like Uzi I like Uzi in that sense Like he does what he does He pops out when he wants And then when he drops music

He drops a bomb He streams a whole Shit ton of records He sells a bunch of records And he's a rock star He performs It's in stadiums Like he's a rock star he performs it's in stadiums like he he's a rock star i love uzi and he does he moves on his own accord he's not trying to be nobody

he's he's himself i just didn't like the diamond in the forehead thing because i thought it was just a little clout chasey and i don't think he needs clout because he's dope without that type of shit but i feel like uzi would do that whether he was famous or not and had the bread okay it wouldn't have been a diamond like that, but okay, yeah. I'm saying if he had the bread. Which is why I'm not mad at it, but I'm like, ah.

I don't think he would do it for that. He doesn't strike me as a stretch. I don't want to talk about his jewelry and his forehead. It's just a stretch. I just wanted to tell y'all that people that we didn't expect allegedly are trying to steal

some of that sauce. Well, you know what they're doing, Joe? They're creating chords in Uzi that he's not aware of. That's why you have to get your chords cut. That boy preaching. I'm serious. People create chords. Subconsciously suck energy out of you.

You just don't know it. It's good to hear that that's the type of shit Uzi is on. Again, I'm not Uzi's target audience. His last album that I know everyone loves, so don't even mind me. I'm not even being a hater. Sounded like more of the same that was coming out. I felt Uzi didn on. Again, I'm not Uzi's target audience. His last album that I know everyone loves, so don't even mind me. I'm not even being a hater. Sounded like more of the same that was coming out. I felt Uzi didn't have to follow the sound that was of the time. So I hope that his thriller is just different.

His thriller. Yeah. But the thing is, we'll get the music and we'll be able to talk about it and unpack it and dissect it and do whatever. But Uzi's talent level is it's incredible yeah he's a he's a super talented person so that that doesn't shock me that they feel like this is his best work but make your own sauce yeah make your own sauce the first time artists have done that yeah we speak about that a lot though your shit no but no we don't talk about it enough i don't think but there's legendary artists that do that. That's why I'm saying we don't talk about it enough.

But no, but you pull and pull from- All we ever say is, oh, nah, they got similar styles. No, they don't. No, they don't. No, no, no. We definitely spoke about niggas being around niggas just trying to get hot and trying to get some of that sauce on them. We spoke-

I'm watching. During the Dreamville shit, I think we had that type of talk when everybody was at the studio. Yeah. We kind of talked about people hanging out at studio sessions acting like they're friends. It's like,

y'all niggas really just trying to get hot. Yo, did we get all the music from that? Yeah. I believe so. Two albums. And both were great.

That's it? Well, I mean, two albums. A lot of records came from that that ended up on other albums. A double disc and a bunch of records that ended up on other artists. That's a great week. Yeah, they put out a lot of records came from that That's what they did That ended up on other albums A double disc And a bunch of records That ended up on other artists

That's a great week Yeah they put out a lot of music Wait give me one more time Two albums What two albums? The two Dreamville compilations Yeah The Deluxe was a whole new album

Yeah It's like 14 other records Got it I forgot about that No we got a lot of music from that We got a lot of music And a bunch of records That weren't on the Dreamville joint

Yeah, I'm sure some of this Village Village that came out was from there. I'm sure. Everyone that was there got a record that they took for the M.C. Let me not say nothing to piss nobody off. Oh, you're changing.

You changed. You've changed. Apparently, I don't know how to speak to people. What? That's what they're saying. Who would say such a thing? People are saying that. What a hot take.

You don't know how to speak to people? Yeah. People are saying that. No a hot take. You don't know how to speak to people? Yeah. People are saying that. No, you know how to speak. I think that sometimes you just jump out there and say certain things that's like, okay, that was a little too much. But you know how to speak to people because you're well-spoken. You know how to speak to people.

No, that's not what they mean. You just don't have a filter sometimes. And how to speak to certain people. I get it. No, I know this dude better than anybody in this room. Trust me. He knows how to speak to people.

It's just that sometimes it's just a little too aggressive. What's your name? Joe, man. Most of the way you know me Moe has such the wrong impression of Joe What impression do you have? What impression

Whatever impression he has Whatever impression he has Let's talk about that What impression you think I have of you? It's all wrong That ain't answering the question It's honestly What impression do you think I have of you?

You think I fucked girls I didn't fuck I know you did Facts Look at the first impression you picked think I have of you? You think I fucked girls I didn't fuck? I know you did. Facts. Look at the first impression you picked. Facts. I know you did. That's not true.

I know you did. Prove it. I can't. I'm going to record you fucking. Favi. Movie. Yeah, next time. Exactly.

Wrong impression. You got the right impression. You think I don't know how to speak to people. You think I was maybe the 175th best rapper in the world. I said you don't know how to speak to people. You think I was maybe the 175th best rapper in the world. I said you don't know how to speak to people? You just have a lot of false impressions about me. And because you've known me for so long, when you speak, people take your word as bond. And it's not bond. It's creed.

But Joe, we have the proof in the world to look at. Proof in the world. See, you're one of those people. You think that if you don't do nothing anymore, that that's not who you are. That's still a part of you. It's still something you did, something you said. It's just that you don't act like that anymore. That's all.

But you're the type of guy, you're like, oh, no, I don't do that no more. You just did it two weeks ago. No, I think that my past is immortalized so much that it acts as my present sometimes. Like the Joe Budden Fitz page. It can in the world. It's like, oh, look at these fits. Look at this. She's getting crazy.

Yo, I was a legend. All right, that's what I mean. I couldn't dress. But my bad outfits are immortalized today still. But you still can't dress. And you take on of that. You say that. You say you can't dress. I'm not the the side of that. You say that. You say you can't dress.

I'm not the best dresser. So what are we talking about? So that was just an error. I was looking at Rene Rucci's guy today. I was like, this guy can dress a little bit. Who's Rene Rucci? I don't know who that is. I don't watch all the shows that you watch.

A rapper. She's a rapper? Mm-hmm. Oh, I don't know who that is. Either. She's a rapper from South Carolina. I spoke about her on the show before. I think she's down with QC and them.

Oh, okay. Shout out to her. I'm not familiar with her work yet. And her man that can dress. Yeah. When you don't do something good as a man, you notice when other men do it good. Like, I make fun of your little outfits,

but they're cute little outfits. Like, whatever this fatigue shit you got on is. Cute little outfits. Cute little Jasmine's ass. A little number you put together. You match the hat with the,

I see what you did. Yeah. You do that better than me. I don't go to the closet and you know what I mean? I don't do that. It's okay. Rene Rucci's man

knows how to dress a little bit. Biggs, I really like the way your brother dresses. Your brother's on, your brother's on my best dressed men's list. Yeah.

I said, Sugar Ray is on it. Niggas laughing at me. Like, there's a few men I think, dude, they know how to dress. Sugar Ray? Not Sugar Ray. Sugar Jay. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah.

You have this list written down? Can you do it? I'm not going in. Huh? Nothing. A list to have right now? No, do you have it written down? Like, is this something you add on to?

No, but you know certain people that can dress. Of course I do. So why are you trying to make fun of me right now?, but you know, sir. You know, sir, people that can dress. Of course I do. So why are you trying to make fun of me right now? Because I like to make fun of you. Because I know men that can dress. You know, you know the fun. Like, say, Vaughn's.

The person that was your stylist was my best friend. I'm not you. Just gave him my ass. That's not you. Not you. You think you can dress? Don't do that to Sabo.

No, he did. I'm telling you. Fudge the numbers. Yeah, we don't got to go back into that because, you know, people are sensitive about politics. He fudged some of the numbers at the old folks' home. But we knew that, right? Well, I did.

We had to know that. I knew it, too, when I was big in the month. But, I mean, you know the politicians is fudging the numbers. Piece of shit. And he doubled down on it. Yeah. They died. Who cares?

Don't do that. No matter how they died, they died. Don't do that. That's what he said. He didn't say that. What did he say? Not that. He didn't say nobody cares that they died. He said, who cares how they died?

They died. I didn't hear him say that. Okay. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that nursing homes never needed to accept COVID-positive patients from hospitals in the state due to a shortage of hospital beds. During a press call Wednesday, Finger Lakes News Radio asked Cuomo about his administration's advisory in late March requiring that nursing homes accept the red mission of patients from hospitals, even if they were positive for COVID-19. The governor's office has repeatedly said the advisory was based on federal guidance, which prohibited discrimination based on a coronavirus diagnosis diagnosis the state's department of health told cnn residents were admitted to nursing homes during that time not as an overflow facility but because that's where they live cuomo said that the advisory was a precaution if hospitals became overwhelmed calling it an anticipatory rule which he said

didn't happen i'll read this little last part we never needed nursing home beds because we always had hospital beds all right he's just a lot of niggas now exactly like all of this shit is bullshit i love you and your brother but you didn't have hospital beds i'll be all full of my dad was in the hospital dying from covid and y'all was trying to kick him out every hour y'all didn't have hospital beds just ready it's all bulls**t cuomo told finger lake news so it just never happened in new york where we needed to say a nursing uh where we needed to say to a nursing home we need you to take this person even though they're covid positive it never happened i don't believe that for one second of course it happened i believe that for one second a good friend of mine is a is a manager of a nursing home and that's exactly what was happening he manages

a nursing home and this was back in april may he was telling me this like why are they sending all of these covid positive patients to nursing homes when older people are more susceptible to getting infected it didn't make any sense back then You know Politics Yeah Politics man It's just the It's just the government That we live under

They all follow You know Their own Rules And their own You know Whatever the fuck they wanna do But

You speak about it People think you're this Or you're that I don't get involved in all that shit It was just fun talking about Trump But it's over More newsy news That people in the New York area should at least be aware of. MTA tolls are being increased April 1st.

I mean, not Houston, but Texas period and what's going on out there with Ted Cruz trying to go to Cancun because his daughters wanted to get away and get a little get a little bit of sun for the weekend cancun cruise um in the midst of millions of people being without electricity uh power water heat heat that's when he decided to get up and go to cancun now listen i won't i won't knock you for wanting to go to cancun many of black twitter did i mean just not right now just now is a little

black twitter wasn't responsible for a state yes probably not that was in need time for tag crews to do that and if you were gonna do that why didn't he take a pj why is he in the airport why is he in the airport where people could see him and take a picture and say, yo, that's Tech Crew. Yo, ain't you Tech Crew? They also kill politicians when they do the PJ thing. He's supposed to be one of the people. Yeah.

I think people forget that politicians are humans and they're going to do fucked up shit just like humans do. Listen, man. Nah. This ain't the time. Yeah. Nah. This ain't a Republican, republican democrat thing this is a human

thing the people the people the people voted you in what does that mean it means that they would like to see you stand in turmoil with them or be the elected official to try to help troubleshoot some of this turmoil how many how many elected officials have ever done what the people have asked or thought that they were going to do? How many have actually ever done it? I can't say because I'm not politics, man. I'm only speaking on in the middle of such a crisis. Absolutely. I know what people want.

No, you can't get up and go to Cancun in agree in the middle i agree this type of crisis i agree but this is what politicians do you think they're going to sit there and weather the storm with the people that doesn't that doesn't happen that doesn't happen well at least do it that's that's the only two people somewhere in the state at least what'd you say at least do it somewhere in the state or like vacation oklahoma like just go somewhere around the area they're gonna take your money and they're gonna to go to fucking Tulum and fucking drink coconut rum until they pass out.

Somebody tweeted, and this was a tweet of the week for me. He said, so nobody notices that Ted Cruz and his family tried to cross the border. He tried to cross the border to provide a better life for him and his family.

Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. This one was crazy. I don't know if they who is this uh mayor of colorado oh no this was nuts yes this this was the one before we even got on ted cruz duke said let let me let me hurt some feelings while i have a minute why does he have a minute? That's the opening sentence. You shouldn't have a minute. But you shouldn't have a minute. Let me get my shit off. He said, and I'm going to read this from Tim Boyd. Who's Tim Boyd?

Governor of Colorado City, Texas. This guy is amazing. He said, no one owes you and your family anything. Excuse me. Pardon me. Nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this.

Sink or swim, it's your choice. He's typed this and hit send. The city and county along with power providers or any other service owes you nothing. I'm sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout. I pay my taxes.

If you don't have electricity. If you don't have electricity In my electricity bill. If you don't have electricity, you step your bum ass up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe. If you have no water, you deal with that and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family.

I'm going to repeat that. He's asking if I make water. I'm going to repeat that one more time. Make water. Pro water procure your own water if you have no water you deal without and think outside of the box to survive

and supply water to your family yo there's snow there snow is water go grab that didn't think of it like that Rory see what I'm saying Rory

if you're sitting at home in the cold because you have no power and are sitting there waiting for someone to come rescue you because you're lazy is direct result of your raising. Only the strong will survive and the weak will perish.

Folks, God has given us the tools to support ourselves in times like this. This is sadly a product of socialist government where they feed people to believe that the few will work and others will become dependent for handouts no we pay you for times like this you realized a mayor is talking about socialist government forget it never mind forget it forget it forget it stop taking my taxes off my taxes mr.

socialist am I sorry this you have been dealing without electricity and water? Yes. But I'll be damned if I'm going to provide anyone that is capable of provide for anyone that is capable of doing it themselves. We have lost sight of those in need. Is this real? Yeah, it's real. In need and those

that take advantage of the system and mesh them in one group. Bottom line, quit crying and looking for a handout. Get off your ass and take care of your own family. This is an elected official They better go burn his house down.

that hit send Yep. who is paid on this. who is paid by the people he's talking about. That people went out and voted for. Go vote.

Fuck out of here. Now'm gonna come clean when certain parts of texas were open still like atlanta's open still and the mayor over there saying yo all-stars here but atlanta's closed don't come yeah the mayor over there been saying yo yo yo we need to do something different for a little while the elected officials don't really care about us right right she's been saying that for a while over there now when these states are open maybe it's Joe the weirdo but that's the first second and third thing I'm thinking I ain't just thinking let me run a turkey leg hut because it's open let me turn up hook let me run in land a cop i'm not thinking none of that i'm thinking yo the officials don't give a

fuck over here so what's gonna happen when crisis really hits and here we are yep and you see shit like what tim boyd is saying see that true what ted cruz. See their true feelings. You see how they really feel. Boy, I feel bad that severe temperatures turn parts of the South up like this. Yeah. Yeah. They're not built for it. Yeah, I'll admit, I used to be the person that used to laugh at Atlanta when they'd get an inch of snow and the whole city would shut down. It's like, how do I drive?

That was ignorant of me. Those cities aren't prepared for this type of shit at all. It affects them much differently than it would ever affect us. That was different because people's lives weren't necessarily in jeopardy when it was an inch of snow. That's funny. People were just not

driving snow. People's houses are getting destroyed and they don't have heat and water. People are dying. People are dying over are dying yeah over here this isn't this isn't jokey joke time no listen they surely do i was trying to get home they canceled all flights to uh houston like it was bad yeah i got uh not outside having people in houston people that were there visiting have been there for like 10 days they can't get out yeah they were stuck in houston and still and still i know some women that are making it out there for their dick appointment man I got a round of applause

round of applause they're doing the due diligence I don't know what type whoa that's scary that's scary oh that was scary what a round of applause for the climate change deniers well I don't know was that Ted Cruz tweet from 2016 real yes I never want to say

people know how to photoshop Ted Cruz had tweeted allegedly I don't know if it was true it was on Twitter so I'm not going to fact check it Ted Cruz said I believe in global warming

when Texas freezes over and then he went to Cancun hey I have to rethink this global warming thing and go to Mexico over. And then he went to Cancun. I have to rethink this global warming thing and go to Mexico. Do you guys care about Charlemagne versus Lakeef? No, what happened? They beefing?

Wasn't that a really old thing? Did it reignite? Reignite? The Breakfast Club interviewed of really really old thing that it did did reunite uh reignite the breakfast club interviewed um lakeith for the movie not lakeith daniel okay they interviewed daniel and apparently charlemagne asked him a question about lakeith's character in the film but it was like a shady question uh how do i say his last name kaluuya kaluuya kaluuya daniel kaluuya the lead uh the lead and uh fred hampton yeah fred hampton um so he asked him a question about lakeef's role in the movie and i guess it was some some spice to it i'm not sure because I didn't know there was initially an issue between Lakeith and Charlemagne.

I was bringing this here to ask y'all what that was. I think, and again, not going to fact check, if I remember correctly, it started when Lakeith rapped on the Breakfast Club

and Charlemagne was like, yeah, that was trash. I think that's how it started and then they went back and forth on a bunch of different things since then but yeah this has been something that I

why is that a beef people are don't tell me you're trash you're an actor I can tell you're raps are trash with my fake bars I believe that's how it started and that's not the first time

Charlotte well Lakeith replied to the Daniel interview that he saw and said this is whole shit stop it get off my dick blah blah blah well

what are they beefing about again I mean I know y'all just broke it down but I still don't were you listening I don't know but I still I still don't get it though

I don't know and I'm not gonna say they're beefing I'm not familiar with the situation I just know Lakeith replied and said get off my dick this whole shit yeah

well I could be wrong. I think that's how I started. I didn't know enough about the exchange. I was shocked. That's all. Sean is me. What do you think of Lakeith? I don't know.

I don't know. I'm not here to judge his freestyle. Yeah, he's an actor. He's not a- Phenomenal job he did. Well, he played Snoop. Phenomenal job he did in the movie. Huh?

He played Snoop. Yeah, so he's an actor now. He's a rapper now, yeah. Yeah, he did a good job, though. Real good job he did in the movie. Huh? He played Snoop. Yeah, so he's an actor now. He's a rapper now, yeah. Yeah, he did a good job, though. Real good job in Judas and the Messiah. Speaking of Atlanta, Donald Glover

just had a big deal with Amazon. Guy's own channel, I guess, on there? I don't know how channels work within the Amazon ecosystem, but that's a big deal. Congratulations to Donald Glover.

I think that was an eight-figure deal. That's what they say, yeah. Super big, man. Shout out to him. Congratulations. I think that was an eight-figure deal. That's what they say, yeah. Super big, man. Shout out to him. Congratulations. One of the most. Congratulations to Amazon as well.

He's one of the most talented people. Is his brother involved in this at all? Can you bring up Donald Glover's brother's name? He's the one that writes and directs a lot of Atlanta. Oh, really? I didn't know that. He's really, really, really talented. No, we don't know about his brother.

Okay, well, just look at the credits. Check the credits. People have talked about his brother a million times. Steven Glover, yeah. I wasn't hip. Oh, Steven. Steve. By the way, remember this in like three episodes from now.

I know. Joe is going to bring up, oh my, do you guys know about Steven Glover? He's such a good writer. How come we've never talked about this? I've never seen Atlanta. Oh that's you missing out.

Yeah you're definitely missing out. You've never seen Atlanta? That show was incredible. I thought when we talked about it you was following it. Not at once.

Good show. Binge that. You should start it. Never seen Atlanta. You should start it tonight. Never saw Euphoria. Tear right through it. Definitely need to watch that too.

Never saw none of the shows. Gotta watch that. Y'all, sheep watch. Wait, what? Y'all, sheep. He watched The Lady and the Dale. Don't do that. That shit was trash.

That shit was terrible. I finished Mr. Robot. Mr. Robot was great. That shit was trash. It was trash. You watched all of it and thought it was trash? Yeah, I didn't like that shit at all. You know what?

Not the story. The story is interesting. I didn't like the cartoon type shit they was doing. I just didn't like that. I was like, fam, I don't want to watch a documentary and it's showing the cartoony shit.

Give me a doc. Give me a doc. People have done that before. I forgot what other big doc did that. I don't like docs like that. I don't necessarily mind that. I don't like docs like that. What was that?

There was another doc that did that. It was good. Anyway. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of when docs do that. Yeah, I don't necessarily mind that. I don't like docs like that. What was that? There was another doc that did that. It was good. Anyway. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of when docs do that. The story was interesting, though, that she got that off. That was interesting. Yeah, that was like- I don't see how you can watch that.

No, the story was like- Sure you did, man. Shit. You know, the story was interesting. I just didn't- She could have been a young boy. Yeah, I didn't think the doc was put together well. Could have brought her into the fold. Come on, man. You could have initiated story was interesting. I just didn't... She could have been a young boy. Yeah, I didn't think the doc was put together well. Could have brought her into the fold.

Come on, man. You could have initiated her. Nah. I didn't think... What's the young boy initiation look like? The what? How do you bring the young boys into the crew? What do you make them do?

Well, one, they have to be young. They also have to be a boy. I'm not into that at all. I don't bring young boys into a crew. Don't touch one of mine. With everything you love, I will destroy everything you touch. Let's play the game, nigga. That's a really bad Pac impression.

Yeah, you did a better Pac impression when you used to kind of rap like Pac a little bit. Eye for eye. Last words, you a bitch, nigga. Why you lie? Now you got to watch your back now. Watch your front. Here we come. Gunshot the tut.

Now you stuck. Fuck the... I don't see how Pac is not in this top three. I don't... He's about top five for sure. That became a weird internet troll. Fuck the rap game, nigga. That was a weird internet troll.

Never understood that. So believe me, we're enemies. But y'all understand. I don't feel that. Niggas don't rap to their enemies no more. Yeah, they do. But the reason why a lot of people don't have Pac. Niggas' enemies ain't tough then.

Yeah, Pac had real. That whole little op thing they doing. Pac's enemies were tougher than their enemies. I don't know about all that. No, now we just got the feds. That's the enemies of hip hop now. All this music is about a specific op, and then they kill each other. So, yeah, I'm not going to say that.

But anyways. Biggie Doc. Oh, when is this one coming? March 1st, I believe is the date. So, this was one, I will admit, and no one else will admit, when I saw the headline, wanted to kill it. Because I've been on this podcast saying, I don't need any more Big or Pac documentaries.

We've got them all. The trailer looked like it may have some things we footage. Has there been a little Pac Docs? Fam, every other year, or every year. I don't feel like there's been a good Pac Doc, though. Well, the one that was in theaters was good. The one that was in theaters,

Tupac Resurrection, I thought it wasn't really a doc. The one that's on TV that was like who killed Biggie and Pac, I wasn't mad at that one. Okay. That wasn't FX.

What was that on? A lot of people didn't like the Pac movie. Why do I have the hiccups like I'm soft? I thought that's what Rory was talking about. I got the hiccups

I don't think I liked the Pac movie. No, no, I'm not talking about All Eyes on Me, the movie. Like years and years and years ago, Tupac movie. No, no, I'm not talking about All Eyes on Me, the movie. Like years and years and years ago, Tupac Resurrection

was a documentary-esque shit that was in actual, I went to the movie theater to see it. Yeah, I know what you talking about, Tupac Resurrection. Yeah, I like that,

but I just feel like they've kind of oversaturated it and there's always been these random ones, but this does look like with his mom involved and footage that

none of us have seen, this looks like it'll be actually really dope. So I do take back my hate when I initially saw the headline of like, all right, we're going to milk this even more. No, they better give me a new Biggie fact. If there's real family.

If I don't get a new Biggie small fact. I like his mom involved because I've always felt like they do all these weird cheap docs and little side joints. And I'm like, all right, y'all just going to eat off the family. His mom is in this. C's is in this. You know what I would like to all right, y'all just going to eat off the family. Like his mom is in this, Cease is in this. Like, you know what I would like to see from these people tell this from this doc,

I would love to see them not tie in the whole Biggie Tupac thing. I would like to just see that angle. But let me just, let's just tell us about big from growing up. I don't know if you can tell either one of their stories in full without mentioning the other. No, but because we got those docs already and those stories and those, you know, they always tie them together. I would like for them to just keep it strictly Big for this. Like, let's teach us.

Tell us things about him in high school and tell us things in elementary school on the block. If he played, you he played different sports, some of his teammates in Little League that we never heard from. Things like that. Let's focus on big. Not the drama. Yeah, not the drama, the beef. Yeah, exactly. And that's how I feel like it's still so much of big that we don't know about

that I hope that they highlight more on this documentary. This just looks like so much home footage. That's what I liked about the trailer. It's not just another thing like, did you know that Tupac and Biggie were friends before all this? I don't need another one of those docs. I don't. Yeah. But I feel you.

Yeah, I'd like to dive more into the big part of everything rather than the Big and Pac. Yeah, I don't want to hear about that. The thing that they exploit every single time. But this is on what, Netflix, right? Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to hear about that. The thing that they exploit every single time. But this is on what? Netflix, right? Yeah. Yeah, all right. Well, looking forward,

I'll watch regardless. I say all that to say that anytime there's a Big Doc, I will watch. You have to. You have to. Big or Pac, you have to watch their stories.

No, I'm into it. I don't think I'm watching this. You're going to watch it. And I'm the I'm watching this. You're going to watch it. And I'm the hipster. No, Joe's going to watch it. I'm a hipster because I'm not watching this. I've heard stories from people that spoke to Big when he was at the club right before he died. I've heard from his mom.

I've heard from Puff. I've heard from people that were at the fight I've heard from people that were I've heard I just I've heard from everybody if I don't get a new fact then I have to work on how I say things people think I don't care but I don't but this seems but this does seem like this is strictly about him

before he became Biggie yeah with the amount of home footage here and his mom I've heard from C's I've heard from Kim I've heard from Faith in the last however many years

I mean dear I say it we've got it all. Or have we? Well, and that's what y'all will watch this and tell me if we haven't. Absolutely. We've gotten all the music, the major music moments. That's what we've gotten. Yeah. So if that is this again, i'm gonna be disappointed but if this is some cooler

shit like really in the bigs life and more personality how that had to do yeah because everyone has said big at the greatest personality ever like i'm i'm down to watch it and give it a chance listen to have only released two albums and still be considered one of the best rappers in the world by mostly everybody it's a real difficult feat i don't take that for granted at all like the amount of skill that you have to show in two albums if you want to say three that's fine with life after death death being a double disc but the skills you have to show to be regarded that way in such a brief amount of time is just different. Yeah, it's crazy.

As far as voice, delivery, cadence, storytelling, club records, album cuts, classic albums. Like, it's just a lot

that he hit. Greatest flow of all time. And I feel like if they keep, if they keep, I don't know, I understand he's such a prominent figure,

man, but at some point do you let it rest? Don't kill me, hip hop. I'm't know. I understand he's such a prominent figure, man. But at some point, do you let it rest? Don't kill me, hip hop. I'm just asking. I understand your question. Yeah, I'm not trying to. Yeah, I understand what you mean.

But I think that it's important because we still get documentaries about Bob Marley. We still get documentaries about a lot of figures that passed before we were born. You're right. Maybe I'm selfishly speaking because i was there and i have all the information yeah yeah yes there's a lot of people that don't know haven't seen didn't get the facts weren't alive yeah that's like the 21 year olds the people that are turning 21 they were born in 2000 now right yeah so like when they did the movie notorious i was like yeah i think it's a little too early I was young

But I was still there I know everything When I watched this movie So yeah I think We should wait a little bit on this With this doc I think the timing

Makes more sense With the amount of kids That literally have no idea But that name Biggie When they hear it In other rap songs I need a 50 cent doc

That's the doc I need 50 cent? I need the real 50 doc not don't give me the vh1 behind the music doc I need the doc doc yeah I don't want to see the get rich or die trying movie shit I need a real life excuse me have you watched before I have not it's really good this season I saw the first three episodes, but I'm not caught up. It's been good. For Life is good. I like For Life.

You know what I did watch, Parks? I watched that Britney Spears doc. Oh, yeah? What'd you watch? Real good. I watched it as well. Really, really, really, really good on Hulu. Yeah. New York Times, Britney Spears doc.

That conservatory shit is interesting. Yeah, it really is. Through the whole doc, I was a little- I would like for Britney Spears to have her rights back. Me too. Especially if you're ready, willing, and able to work the way that the doc showcased her working, then you don't need someone to make decisions on your behalf. It's really, really, really unfortunate.

Really unfortunate story in that Britney Spears doc. And they're right. Really, really, really unfortunate. Really unfortunate story in that Britney Spears doc. And they're right. A lot of how we view Britney Spears, what the media was doing back then and the story they were telling, what the Justin, Cry Me a River, the dancer kid, just how she went from wherever that little town, Kent. Was that Kent, Mississippi? I forget. Louisiana? like just how she went from wherever that little town kent was that kent mississippi yeah whatever louisiana yeah whatever one of them whatever she did from that little town man that is crazy horrible that is really horrible and for her to get to the end spoiler alert and be like yo i'm not even mad at the conservatory i just don't want my dad to run it yeah do what you gotta do but homeboy he don't mean no good so many musicians with that story man remember not too long ago i was talking about

jojo and that youtube doc i watched with her and just her situation and it's just so many tragic musician uh stories about musicians that sign bad deals or make all the money in the world and have to watch out for family members. That's what I was thinking watching. I was like, damn, man, for all the shit I talk about my career, like imagine if it went the best it could have gone. Like imagine the things I would have had to watch out for in that instance. Like I don't want to look at my mom shady.

Right. Not that I am or would, but i'm just saying an example fam i'm gotta look at my dad like tiger the tiger woods doc look like just imagine it it's nasty i was um yeah what she went through with the little umbrella scene when she when she fucked up the reporters the reporters I feel like she was in her right to do that shit I felt I felt that too I don't think that's crazy though

get the fuck out of my face I didn't like her trot back to the car like that wasn't that wasn't the best criminal look she could have did that

a little smoother that was the prototypical white guy that just had a moment and it's like oh god I gotta get back to the car now that was that truck.

But if I'm there to pick up my kids, my kid's dad has custody. He's ignoring me. Won't answer. He's painting me to be a villain, a bad guy. Yeah, I'm fucking somebody's car up with the umbrella when paparazzi shows up.

And their reaction, how could she do this to my space? Paparazzi not understandingarazzi shows up and their reaction how could she do this paparazzi not understanding it was hilarious why she was angry if you haven't seen the britney spears doc on hulu uh and it's called framing britney spears before you try to search it like i did and see all the 10 million yeah britney spears docs new york times is really really really good there's also misleading because it says episode six so you think think, oh, fuck it, I missed the other five. But no, it's just one episode in a bigger project or whatever. I Googled after to make sure I was looking at the right one.

And I will say I take back all my hate of documentaries where I say, hey, this could have been shorter. They dragged this too long with too many episodes. Because my biggest gripe about this Britney doc was that it was too short, and they rushed through certain parts that I think could have been full episodes. That was my only gripe. So I was two hours of fire.

It was only an hour and some change. Yeah. An hour and 50 minutes. Hour and 12. Really? Of what? The fuck did I watch? I must have stayed on for the oops.

I did it again, bitch. But no, I felt like there was so much stuff with her childhood and then getting into her career that could have been episodes. And then the entire thing with her pops, the entire Kevin Federline, the entire meltdown, each one of those could have been episodes to me. So I'm wrong.

People that create documentaries. I enjoyed seeing how they broke her. I enjoyed them showing how she was singing Oops, I Did It Again or whatever her first record was. Hit Me Baby One More Time at the Malls. I remember when that was a thing. I remember when that was a thing. Me too, but I forgot.

And watching it, that was impressive, man. And then seeing how she was targeting the college kids and blah blah blah that's why I hated J. Cole for a little bit I hated people that targeted college kids I just felt like

it was such a the guy that went to college targeting his audience what did take your time and step on my amazing point that I'm making Rory

with your opinion on something yes Joe's opinion is when the rappers say hey college four years when Meg did what did she do four girls with your opinion on something. Yes, Joe's opinion is when the rappers say, hey, college four years, when Meg did,

what did she do today? Fall girl, school girl. They all ask corny. That's Joe's opinion. If you love that, then you speak to it. Don't step on my opinion. I'm saying the,

hold on, so you don't think the person that is living that life, who the people he's speaking to, he should market to? I said I hate it anytime a rapper does it. That's my opinion. Okay, but you like when they market to other people.

I hate when a rapper does it that didn't go to college. I hate it, period. That's me. But what do you mean? I don't like it either, John. I went to college and I don't really like college raps. If a rapper— Markets to other people.

If a rapper... Markets to other people. If a rapper that comes from poverty and raps about a certain lifestyle within that inner city markets to the people that really feel his music and will grow with him, you think that's okay? I don't really view that as marketing.

So what's the difference between Cole going after the people he was on campus with? It's marketing. Why? You're going after those people because those are the people that spend money and you're looking to share a relatable experience so they can do so. College kids have a large disposable income. Yeah, I don't know what we're talking about.

Okay. A bunch of rappers. You guys got it. A bunch of rappers are not targeting. College kids have mad money to income. Yeah, I don't know what Rory's talking about. Okay. A bunch of rappers. You guys got it. A bunch of rappers are not targeting. College kids have mad money to spend on J. Cole. He did a dollar in a dream tour because that's all they could afford. And it worked. It was a dollar.

And it worked. So they spent mad money on him, right? It all worked. I didn't check the financial records. I bought the most music I ever bought in my life while I was in college. So that means everybody. I don't like when Rory does this. No, because you sound dumb right now.

You do. You do sound dumb. I think it's an actual fact that kids age. Why do I sound dumb? Because you disagree. No, that's how you operate. I don't operate that way. Then tell me what's dumb about what I'm saying.

What sounds dumb about I hate when people market to college? You're saying because that... Because he marketed to the people that were his demographic... No, I didn't know you said that. I didn't say that. My statement was very quick. I hate anybody

that markets to college. You then asked me some follow-up questions. Cole went to college. Is that not his demographic? I don't care where he went. I don't care. I hate when any rapper... Then I'm not going to have... This is a weird...

This is a stupid conversation. You have a problem with people marketing to college students. Yo, if you don't think Pump It Up was marketing to college students, you are out of your fucking mind. It wasn't. Of course, it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't, I'm sure.

How was it? It was a party record. Now you sound dumb. Every party record is marketed. And it was a college party record. No, it was not, Rory. What are you talking about? You sound like a fucking idiot.

You know when the rappers are marketing the college kids. Kanye did college dropout. He put a book bag on everywhere he went. You knew he was talking to college. J. Cole, every fucking verse was about college. You knew that he was marketing.

Why do you, why do you, my, Joe's opinion. I'm not saying this is fact. Yes, you are. All right, move on.

Let's move on, man. I'm not doing this for Rory. You do this every podcast. I'm telling you my opinion. Now you're telling me my opinion is stupid and I'm saying it's fact. I'm not saying it, man. I'm not doing this for Rory. You do this every podcast. I'm telling you my opinion. Now you're telling me my opinion is stupid, and I'm saying it's fact. I'm not saying it's fact. I'm saying it's my opinion, and I hate when it happens. Anytime it happens.

And I'm asking why. Not just when your Dreamville buddies do it. I hate when anybody does it. I'm asking why. I said that earlier, and you said college kids don't have any money to spend on music. That's what you said to me. If you were just going to... I've been in marketing meetings at labels

where things were specifically geared around targeting college kids. Why do you think that is? Because it's an age demographic. Because it works. That deals with parties and regular real life shit. All right, that's your- The music that Cole made.

All right, that's your opinion. In my opinion, not only does it work, but college is where those memorable, relatable times and where the song sticks out in your memory for the rest of your life and then you have a relatable, identifiable- So why would you hate that? And then you state it. Because I hate it. So you hate when people try to make memories and make money? Ma, can you say something, please? I was just letting you guys have a-

Can you say something? Can you please say something? This nigga does this every podcast. I'm not being annoying this time. I know I'm not. I was just letting y'all have y'all fight, but I think y'all both are saying, Rory's trying to ask, why do you not like that? And meaning like, if it works, why would you not like that?

And if it's genuine. And if the guy actually went to college, why would you not like that? That's what I'm saying college it's a genuine experience i think you're i think we're always missing what joe is saying is joe is just saying like why do y'all just target that audience even if you did go to college but why are you just targeting that audience you should be targeting a broader audience i think cole has done that and proven that he did that oh after for sure after his career took off he and even off the first album well you know i do too i thought but i did understand the correlation and how it

tied in and it made sense i understand that part dollar the dream tour so far gone could have only been marketed to college students absolutely if you want to go that route that's true but it wasn't and that's why i say y'all both were kind of But it wasn't Saying similar shit Then don't tell me I sound stupid For having an opinion So far No I think he was It wasn't marketed to college

No it wasn't I don't think it was marketed to college No it wasn't Neither was Pump It Up I don't think it was marketed to college No Did college people Run with it

And take off Very different But I don't think it was marketed To college Thank you I don't think so The end But college kids love that

Completely disagree That it was marketed That so far I was in college when it happened It was marketed to college. Thank you. I don't think so. The end. But college kids love that project. I completely disagree. That it was marketed? That so far... I was in college when it happened. It was marketed to me. I saw all the marketing. How was it marketed to you? He only did college dates in between it.

That's not true. Okay. That is not true. Now, Dad, I don't remember. You did not only do college dates when so far gone. Focused on it. I don't remember that. That's more gone, man.

I don't remember that. Now you're just lying on shit. No, I'm not. How was it marketed to college? He was doing college shows. He did a whole college run in the middle of So Far Gone. Before Best I Ever Had

even hit the radio. I was there. So that meant that it was only marketed to college. He didn't do nothing else? That was what he focused on. Okay. He did do other things.

He did not only do colleges. That is not true. But Cole did the same thing, though. He didn't just go to colleges. He went to a bunch of different things. It's the same thing. And rapped about college life. Be consistent in your argument.

And rapped about college life for years. And to be clear. Tell me what. There's nothing wrong with marketing to college. I'm just putting that out there. No, bro. I'm trying to figure out, too. The bird is mad at my opinion.

Oh, no. No, I asked why. You said that's what you're trying to figure out. You don't have to figure out my opinion. It's my opinion. You don't have to hold it. I don't like when niggas market to college okay that's it cut and nothing on so far gone was about college not a line in it not one bar well count it tell me is what's the name of it is uh is a baby am i

everything yo is that on so far gone yes talks about campus life the entire verse that's a college record yeah that's a college-y record college-y on a marketed to college marketed to college some social life but campus life is crazy if y'all are about to tell me

that best I ever had was marketed to colleges I'm finished I didn't no no no that's not what I'm saying I'm saying it's a college-y I'm not saying it wasn't

marketed elsewhere but it was 1000% focused on colleges it has it has that school vibe I like this girl you know what I mean like and college-y record. I'm not saying it wasn't marketed elsewhere, but it was 1,000% focused on colleges. It has that school vibe. It was in college when it happened. I like this girl. You know what I mean?

Even the video was like, there was a basketball team and a gym. That's college shit. So I get it. I understand. But I don't think it wasn't just marketed

to colleges. Of course not. I think you had a broader point though, Joe. And I wasn't the annoying one on this one. Ask some simple questions. Actually, Drake has a cardigan on.

That's college. Fam, this whole thing. Everything about Drake from so far gone was college. This is college shit. They took mad marketing plans.

Was this marketed just to college? Absolutely not. No, of course not. And neither was J. Cole. That's my point. Neither was J. Cole. Right.

Did they focus on college? For sure. What else you got got and if you take one or two verses from Cole that have to do with college does not mean this entire album

does not just one or two verses from Cole that are about college talk about the first album 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 13, 14 and 15 verses about college

from J. Cole every chance he got I went to college. What the fuck is Rory talking about? But it's just because he went to college. I know, you're a college kid. You have strong ties to this conversation. Talk about the first album. Nothing on So Far Gone is about college.

I don't care that Kanye put this nigga in a cardigan. The fuck are you talking about? The biggest single had to go to college. Yo, you're the best girl I ever had. I wasn't in college. And guess what was happening? I was saying it. What's the same deal?

Hey, you're the best girl I ever had. It wasn't marketed to just a college. Hey, you're the best girl I ever had. It wasn't marketed to just a college. I said that to 80 girls. Yeah, no. And didn't step foot on a college campus at all.

What the fuck is he talking? I hate that he does that every week. I don't do it every week. You do it every week where you just take something real stupid and want to argue it. No, I was asking you simple questions. I'm not the one that's does that every week. I don't do it every week. You do it every week where you just take something real stupid and want to argue it. No, I was asking you simple questions. I'm not the one that's being annoying right now.

Rick Ross did Tiny Desk. And somebody ruined it. Was that to colleges? React. The first two singles on J. Cole's first album were Workout and Can't Get Enough by Trey Songz and Colleges I mentioned once. But that's it.

It's cool. Listen, there's nothing wrong with being marketing. We was going off singles, so that was your point. There. But that's it. It's cool. Listen, there's nothing wrong with being marketed to college. We was going off singles, so that was your point. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm using your point.

Let's just put that out there. I don't care about any of your hip hop opinions. I love that. There's nothing wrong with being marketed to college. Let's just end it like that. Tiny Desk.

No, y'all ended like that. Joe hates when people market to college. I don't care. Okay. Damn. There we go. Now, Rick Ross Tiny to college. I don't care. Now, Rick Ross tiny desk. Who saw it? I did. Who loved it? Not me.

Yeah. Yes. Hey, E. It's what artists should look to do when they drop something. Not bad. Matter of fact, you you know me artists offer money for this my bad let me get back so because you're my guy and because i love you and because you've made such amazing records for the last decade i opened up the pod with a little just a phase right so don't say none that's the line I called you about right there I hear love calling but I'm just so far away can you

tell me how you came up with that line as a cheater as a cheater. Wait, wait. Never mind. This is what R.B.R. just asked for. I'm sorry. Rory said you was far away cheating. I'm sorry. Don't worry about it.

Don't put that on me. I never said that. You heard Love calling while he was cheating? He didn't answer. Wait. React. never said that you heard love calling while he was cheating he didn't answer the record why why um the record doesn't mean i was cheating it just means that i was far away from being able to receive the love that she was providing ah you like i'll switch myself out of that one though i like it yo This guy is good. That damn Salgado. Come on, man. It's true, though.

Just a phase. So what does that mean? Just tell me what that means real quick before I let you go. At what point is a lifetime not a phase? Yo. And me. Respectfully, I'm not even going to answer this and dignify it with any type of real answer. Anyone who knows me knows that I

am not of that. That's true. Me and Ball know you. Yeah, that's real. Me and Ball know you. That's real. Listen, I've 100% have to you over the E for years. Listen, I've 100% changed.

I have put myself into a very bad space at some point in time by making some bad decisions. But you learned. But I've learned. I've learned and grown from that. Most importantly. And you're a new man, right? And that's what I will continue to do. I hate love calling, but I'm just too far away.

Why didn't you get closer? That shit dumb far. Hey, he heard it. Oh shit, that's long. I ain't even peeing. I'm not fucking with y'all. All right, all right. So let me get it off you for a minute.

I'll ask you this. Did you think that I was going to get married either of the times I was engaged? No. No. No. I heard love calling. It was just Mona. It was close. It was just Mona.

Love was calling close to me. I was still cheating. You were loving hip-hop calling. I thought you would get married. Before me, at least. Johnny's engaged and he's actually getting married. He got a discount on the wedding for the pandemic we also haven't seen or heard from him in four years

that's why it's still very possible and let me say this wait possible to what let me say this it's still very possible for me because on your podcast which is heard by millions

I want to say I'm going to work on fixing my past relationship. This was like when they used to call into the radio station and get their girl back. Yeah, listen, listen. When you're trying to fix shit, you got to do what you got to do. But if it don't work, then I'm cool. But either way, I'm going to put the work in to fix my shit.

That's a part of my job. I like that. I like that a lot. Hey, E, when more get married? Never i ain't gonna lie we've always made that joke but it'd be very funny that he ends up married before any of us he hears a love calling and i don't have any more minutes on my phone hey look at more calling boys back. Look at you lying in your arms. Yo, just a phase. Imani out now. Imani working to revive some things.

All of us are after Valentine's Day. And that's it. That's all I wanted, man. That's all I wanted. Hey, man, you guys have a great podcast. Great to hear from y'all. Yo, but let me tell you before I let you go. Just a phase, though.

Oh, okay. I want to apologize to Rory. About what? When has that ever happened? Go ahead. I want to apologize to Rory. When has that ever happened? Hmm? Go ahead. Maybe music can take Tyrese. Maybe.

Maybe? Maybe. Maybe. Once we start getting around 17, 16, music has been doing this for a long time. Yeah. And I think I maybe took some of that for granted. Tyrese has been doing this for a long time yeah Tyrese has been doing this for a long time in iconic spots

like music has been an active artist early consistently for a while Tyrese dropped once then he dropped again four years later he did that kind of thing, you know what I mean? so music might be able to edge

some of these people out in the later rounds we didn't even mention Genuine's name I don't know how I feel about it I do, I'm not putting music and Brian McKnight in the same sentence that I'm not doing, but Tyrese and who else did I say? Joe maybe, I don't think so.

I still think music is beating Joe. Music is tougher than I gave, than I sounded on the last spot. So I want to apologize to Rory for that. Apologize to music, not to me. No, I'm going to see you more than I see him. I'm going to apologize to you. And music, because I fuck with music. Shout out to Philadelphia.

And fucking just the front is a point, no matter when it comes on. No, he has amazing records. He has crazy B-side records. We should do a Music vs. Joe. I still don't know if Music beats Joe. Let's do it tonight. I'm not doing it tonight. I don't have anywhere to go or any place.

Why don't you have things to do at night time when you go home? I'm not looking at you, Joe. Stop looking at me. 221. We got to edit that? Oh, shots. Oh, we're

misrepresenting him. Not me. People that I care about that have had enough of you guys and this podcast. I had enough of the people that had enough Not me. People that I care about that have had enough of you guys and this podcast. I had enough of the people that had enough of me. How about that?

Yeah, me too, Joe. What the hell? The fuck out of here? Had enough of me. Yo, what's up? We're just editing this entire section. This thing is crazy.

Yo, where's the... We don't got none of that no more down here? Hey, Rim, throw the air freshener down here. Fuck you, D. Yo, where's the... We don't got none of that no more down here? Hey, Rem, throw the air freshener down here. Fuck you, Dyslow. My fo-fo makes your

all your kids don't grow. Look what he's stung on. He's got a wild out. What else is important? All-Star Day. Not All-Star Weekend. All-Star Day.

Yes. Meaning that the Skills Challenge will be played prior to the All-Star Game. And the dunk contest and three-point competition will air at halftime. Right. Of the All-Star Game. React. It's stupid.

And it should not be happening happening And this is just a force They're forcing this To happen A lot of the Superstars in the league Don't want to Participate I'm stealing that one

I'll bring you a different flavor next week That's a good one I have 50 of them in my house I'll bring you a good one I don't have that smell Yeah this is just a force This is a force They're forcing it a good one. I have 50 of them in my house. I'll bring you a good one. I don't have that smell. This is just a force. This is a force. They're forcing it.

That smells good. You don't. That's why it was sprayed. That is a good one though. Of course it's a force. But NBA is a business. They want to make money. And I'm not mad at them trying to do it all in one day. I am.

This is not what All-Star Weekend is. This is... But it's not All-Star Weekend. Exactly. And this is not what life has been. You got to adapt.

If we can do it in one day and it's good. If it's bad then I take back everything I said. Listen, Atlanta has never hasn't closed down during the entire...

No, it's going to be a weekend. I've seen 25 flyers. Yeah, so I mean, it's, you know, and it's a reason that the NBA is doing it there. Like, you know, it's, come on.

It's funny that the NBA has to be more publicly responsible than the city of Atlanta. And the NBA is not even, they're not even being publicly responsible. Like, I've seen so many flyers

of every rapper you could think of for that whole weekend. But the NBA has to give off the perception that they care. Let's just do this real quick. They're not doing it. They're not being publicly responsible. It's a reason it's in Atlanta.

It's a reason the NBA is doing this in Atlanta. Who's in the dunk contest? Atlanta's open. I don't particularly care about the skills challenge. I never did. So why isn't the rest of the country open? I like the skills challenge. You like to see people dribble?

Oh, my God. He passed it through the thing. I'm with you. I never did. So why isn't the rest of the country open? I like the skills challenge. You like to see people dribble? Oh my God, he passed it through the thing. I'm with you, I never had it. Yes, so yeah. I like the skills challenge. Atlanta's open. That's a three point in the dunkest. Yeah, that's where I, but the rest of the country isn't. Dane Lillard, first guy to say he wants to do a three point contest.

First contestant announced. I like it. Now they scared. Now the rest of them scared. Will you ask Steve Novak? Huh? Come through. Dane was the first one to say he wants to do the three-point contest.

What? He's doing it. He's in it. He's the first contestant announced. Now the rest of them shook. Scared to speak, so they speak because they scared. I don't think niggas want to do this shit. At halftime?

Yeah, say something. Come on, fam. That shit is stupid. That shit is stupid. That shit is stupid. Okay. It's stupid. Okay. I mean, they didn't ask me

to do the three-point contest, but I'm a little nervous now that Dame is doing it. I probably wouldn't go against him in a three. And Dame is another one that deserves MVP recognition, for sure.

He's not even starting, right? No. But who is he going to start over? Fair. Luka or Steph? No. Play Smallball. LeBron.

Come on, he's not starting. LeBron. He'll beat it, though. Nikolai Volkov. That's what I said. Play Smallball. Get him out of here. You never like Jokic.

Why you don't like Jokic? I don't dislike him. He been getting busy. He said he was soft. I never liked Jokic. Why you don't like Jokic? I don't dislike him. He been getting busy this year. He said he was soft. I still think he's soft. How, Joe? That don't even make sense. Because Kevin Garnett will punch him in his face and he won't do nothing.

That's why. Kevin Garnett won't punch him in his face. Yes, he would. No, he wouldn't. Yes, he would. No, he wouldn't. And Nikolai Bogdanovich. Who has Kevin Garnett ever punched in the face?

Well, you don't know. I don't know. I probably punched somebody in his face. Adam Saylor. Adam Saylor. Yeah, let's move on. Let's just keep in his face. Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler. Yeah, let's move on. Let's just keep going, y'all. That was really funny.

That was hilarious, actually. I hate Adam Sandler. Why was The Weeknd in that movie? Why does The Weeknd have a Super Bowl ring? Yo, that take they killed you for, I'm going to stand with you, man. That movie is trash. What movie?

Blazing Saddles. What was it called? The Game Smith or some shit. Uncut Gems. That movie was not good. It was the most unrealistic shit in the world. It just wasn't good.

I spent my whole life trying to get this rock. You just hold it down for a weekend though. It's cool. It just wasn't good. The whole premise was bad. It was an entertaining movie, but the basic premise of the movie was bad.

I felt him when he was in me packing in front of One Oak and Shorty went in with the weekend. He was like, no, maybe she'll come out. Nah, she's not coming out, bro. I'm trying to take my engagement ring somewhere, the one that I still have, so that the diamond can be made into a cool something for me. But I don't trust bringing that diamond anywhere and getting it back. I got you. Because how would I know?

Roy will do it. No, I got you. You got to just see, why don't you just see what... But how would I know? I can promise you... See what they'll give you for it. I don't want no money from it.

No, but I'm just saying that if you take the diamond you say listen how much appraise it how much is this worth how much you willing to give me because right now gold i think gold is more now diamonds might you know the market changes in that but just see what they're willing to give you and then you can see what you can get for it so take a loss on maybe 30 40 grand take the money you know you're not gonna lose 30 40 grand yes you know that's the problem. You're not going to lose 30, 40 grand. Yes, you are. That's the problem with getting an engagement ring and not being engaged. Like you pick the diamond.

I pick the diamond. So to bring it back, he could take it, but he has to wait for somebody else that's going to pick that exact diamond. Gotcha. Yeah, I understand that. So. I don't think you lose 30 grand. That's why the first, I didn't pay that much for the first one because that was just some TV shit. I wouldn't got some,

I wouldn't got my watch. But this one's a little different. What do you want to do with it? I've, my family is married into some high profile Jewish people that are in the diamond district in the city. That's how I got the Nami discount on mine. My shit was worth 20 grand and I didn't pay that. You think I look good non-mean discount on mine. My shit was worth

20 grand. I didn't pay that. You think I look good with a stud right here? No. Never mind. I take back any connection I have.

Now get two. Get two. Get a little Alex stud. Right, Alex? You got stud? Let me see your shoes. Right, Alex.

You got stud. Let me see. You're going to get a stud. Goddamn. I'm surprised Bugs Bunny don't attack you with those carrots. How much time left?

We about done. Can we edit that line? We're about done. Edit the whole part? I think we should highlight it. We should move back to the beginning.

Edit all this shit out of here. All right. What else do we have to talk about? I don't think I have anything I need to talk about. All right, Jazz. It's have to talk about? I don't think I have anything I need to. All right, Jazz.

It's always a Jazz, isn't it? It's a mad Jazz. I was supposed to fucking didn't. Shout out to the Jazzes. Let's see. Let's see. Ross Tiny Desk. Male group DMs.

Excuse me? I keep getting them. From who? Males. Male friend groups. Males that you know? No, I don't know these dudes. They just keep putting me in their group chat DMs.

In the request? Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, that happens. Why? I'm not in their friend group, nor do I want to read anything that men are saying. That happens actually a lot with our podcast. I just want to talk to you. I don't want to speak to men about...

You don't want to talk to the people? No. That's why it's in my quest. I never, ever wanted to talk to the people. That was all a facade, Mo. I hate creators. Oh, my God. They're the worst.

Rob every one of them. All right, so that's it, then. I don't have nothing y'all don't have nothing it's fine we can go let me see let me just make sure a new currency

I fuck with J.O. Matty a lot, too. So I'm just joking. I'm just joking. He's another real cool nigga, but he ain't here to look like this. It's just a little weird, man, because they kind of look alike. Subjective. They look alike a little bit. Did he have a look? I don't know. I don't know. Subjective. Yeah, they look like they. It's just a little weird, man, because they kind of look alike. Subjective. They look alike a little bit. Did he have to look?

I don't know. I don't know. Subjective. Yeah, they look like they could be related. She just made $40 million. Subjective.

Not subjective. How you define head to leg? She made $40 million. That's great. In a night. That's great. Look at him.

He looks pretty happy. When a rapper smiles without his lips showing he's excited no i'm not saying what you're saying they just look like they could be related though that's the only just like it looked like they up and it's stuck they look like it's up and it looks like he could be his little sister i know i know i know i feel like that might be my little sister that I know. I know. I feel like that happens.

That might be my little sister. That's his wiz. Oh, for sure. That's his queen. He's there. For sure. Absolutely. Congratulations.

I'm real happy for them. I'm happy for her. I am. That's great. She's the next great one. And shout out to Serena. Oh, yeah. And Cornell.

Serena. Yeah, somehow it feels like this is just how Serena should go out. Losing Losing to the phenom That you were I think she knows That's why she was emotional Like this frustration

That Serena has to have For the young lady That continues to beat her That's what people Had to deal with When Serena was there Right Absolutely

So it makes sense to me No that's That's why I said You know she was emotional For a reason She understands what this is And um You know She knows her body But that's kind I said, you know, she was emotional for a reason. She understands what this is. And, you know, she knows her body.

It's crazy to beat your idol like that. That's how it goes. That's got to be kind of nuts. We're both competitive. It's my time. I'm your idol. The highest title. Numero uno.

Can you finish it? Don't debate me ever again. Don't debate me. I don't want to hear your mouth anymore. Can anybody finish it? I'm not a Puerto Rican, but I kick it so that you know. Where I'm from. Shut up.

Where I'm from, nigga. That was disrespectful. You know what I mean? I was a single, nigga. Shut up. No, no, no. He go to the house. You go to the house.

He go to the house. He should. He a rapper. Yeah, I know. Well, I bought the album. Okay. Well, I know it. My older brother had the album.

Let me not do that. I'm lying right now but boy what album i thought shout out to special ed shout out to special i'm the magnificent with the sensation come on man man if i didn't have some r&b shit to play i play special as a sleeper maybe next time today's friday it don't even feel like a friday it don't no i actually i didn't know it might have been a tuesday no dead ass when i walked in i was like oh that's a friday pop yeah I thought it might have been a Tuesday. Me too. When I walked in, I was like, oh, wait, it's a Friday pop. Yeah, I would have been a lot sillier if I had remembered that. Listen. I'm in here trying to give them the news.

Yeah, Ted Cruz went away. I'm trying to drop Wednesday gems on them. Houston had some power outage, man. Everyone's trying to get drunk. If you would have just went to college, you would have understood what a Friday night was like. Yo, we ain't even touched this. Oh, man, think about that. Yo, how we ain't even touched when the college dropout is getting a divorce?

Come on, Roar. Full circle. People that went to college can get divorced? Absolutely not. That's crazy. I don't even like that they're trying to market to the divorce crowd. What do you know? I hate when they do that.

Not getting the gospel version of Back to Life anymore. Damn. We saw this coming. All I kept seeing was gospel versions of Bell Biv DeVoe records. Yeah, but we saw this.

That's what he's doing. It was kind of hard, though. When they were arguing in the car. That devil's poison. That's hard, though. Poison. That devil's poison. Hey, that devil's.

No, no. Never trust a pitchfork and a smile. That devil's poison. Hey, poison. You are stupid. never trust a pitchfork and a smile that devil's poison hey poison yo you are stupid he said that they actually did that yeah

I don't know they should've that's what's hard you know that devil's poison anyway we're not hearing no renditions anymore is what I'm saying

yeah it's quiet for that and I feel for Kanye I'm not even gonna make a bunch of jokes because divorce is tough divorce is tough and Iorce is tough. And I do believe that they were really, really, really in love. Also, a divorce at this magnitude with this much business involved,

it is big business, has to be stressful for both parties. A lot of kids. Kids involved. Especially when you've been separated for a little while now. This is a lot going on. I want to pray for them both and hope that they're both well. And Ye has seemed to be going through some mental health issues for some time. I don't think the divorce is going to help that very much.

So, yeah. I know I say prayers for everyone involved as a joke. Usually, I'm dead ass here. Divorce is not. That's not cool. I never think you'd be joking when you say that. It's a very difficult. Sometimes I do,

but I'll be serious. Sort of like he jokes with the edit button. Yeah. But also, for the other way to look at it, as Louis CK says, don't ever, you know,

sigh when someone gets divorced. No good marriage has ever gotten divorced. Like you should be happy. Be happy for me mm-hmm yeah another way to look at it I don't know their point of view but just give it another scrap all them songs you made before the divorce happened every last one of them what's the breakup album so yeah yeah yeah now I need 808s and heartbreak. I need the 909. I need something. Part two, yeah. Yeah, you get the 909. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I need to hear it. I need to hear it. This one hurts. This one hurt. I cried over bitches far less. Far less than Ken. With four kids and an empire. Yeah, word.

Oh, man. Yeah, prayers to both of them, man. You're not, for real. That's all I got here. I don't have a take. I don't have anything funny. Just prayers to them both. I don't think there's anything else that I need to touch. Pause. All-Star Day, MTA Hanks, Ross Tiny Desk, Mail Group

DMs, Maybe Music Wins, Meet Kobe Line. A&R Braun, y'all skipped it. That's supposed to be earlier. Y'all falling off. That is true. Y'all falling off. We were supposed to have a blast with this one. We might need to save that. Because I can't lie.

That's Harlem in the Bronx Respect that forever No doubt It was Lord Fitts' birthday yesterday So I'm gonna play Brainstorm. Four verses, spontaneous combustion Trust me, no rapper can dust me Bounced upon the scene with a theme World life, fuck up fantasy now Cause I differ from a dream Wisdom lies deep in my molecules You assumed I fell victim to hip-hop blues Yo, we all busting on tour often Rockin' spots all the California coast Ranging on back to Boston

Enforcin' my theory, leavin' rappers teary-eyed Fried moments you came and thought they had stride You accustomed to cussin' and bluffin', fussin' for nothin' Half of y'all crumbs are just soft like muffins I bake Masterpieces, sharper theses Y'all candy-coated motherfuckers stink like pieces Needless to say, are these runners shoes yours? You retreated when I gave out head for wars

My microphone set is immensely brick wall Silent in and out you slept so now snore Who got my back you ask Lord and Blast Master Unorthodox combinations from the masters Mics are minutes when it's finished You get our understanding of what we bring and no gimmicks We need to brainstorm to make something kinda lyrical A strange form, something kinda lyrical A strange form, but something kinda lyrical Blowing up spots from state to state Finesse is coming in town

My decision is precision I'm ill in ways you can't vision I got niggas worshiping law, finesse like religion You can't fuck around, you're kidding You don't want no collision You better fly south like a pigeon Good riddance, I flip flows you can't imagine I break down your Flintstones style into fragments So pay attention to the man rapping

Don't think that it can't, I'm living proof, it can happen I reign supreme logical, verbally I drop it in ways that you never dreamed possible So lyrically, I personally figure that my Harvard style is too deep for you nursery niggas When I clutch the mic, I'm coming rough and right. I build more than them workers on construction sites. I'm skilled at it. I'm ill-matic. So yes, answers your question, if you ask me, do I still have it? I'm the realest, the illest, coming out the woodworks like them homos in the village. But seriously, I got the remedy if I was at the bottom of the toilet. You niggas still

couldn't shit on me originally It's the same vet, I'm on that get rich list But they didn't call my name yet I make it special like a prom night I blow on mics while other brothers are old news Like what the Cronkite is critical You got these Xerox individuals, but we're life It ain't nothing like the original, I wreck kids

That's my theory and perspective when it comes to hip-hop I'm on the case like detectives You better step to the next man cuz the greatest soccer player couldn't kick it like finesse can And Karis was on there as well. And then Karis one comes in. Comes in wild. Happy Blades, Laura Finesse. Thank you for all you've brought to the game. Got some cool news about old school hip hop.

Oh, yeah? Something you could share or not? Nah. But something really cool is coming from somebody that we love from that era. Oh, yeah? Yeah I'm excited to hear about it Whenever it does happen

You definitely will be Yeah Welcome Welcome back Yeah Yeah just keep it going Double cup Joe. Two chains who?

Play a record. Have you looked into your indigestion? Nah. It really is probably just like lemonade My hope, my hope to leave you alone. I want to give you the world. It really is probably just like lemonade or something that you drink all the time. Either way, you should check it out. Yeah, I'm going to go to the doctor either way this time. Yeah, got to do a little checkup every now and then.

Yeah, I was a little paranoid to go to the doctor last year with the fucking world ending. Listen, outside of the cord cutting shit, I got a whole holistic doctor now doing my diet doing all that shit still never sent a cord cutter's number oh you know what let me put y'all on email right now yeah that'd be nice every time people are dming me about oh no my dms and mentions every fucking day is about it and let me tell y'all now uh for the people because we didn't really get into that segment for everyone dealing with anxiety depression uh breakups just bad shit in your life constipation uh cord cutting doesn't have anything to do with that you can't get a cord cut and your anxiety will leave or your depression will leave or what you're going through will leave it's a much deeper thing and it's a journey you have to do on your own. I can't give you the cord, lady.

It just don't work that way. Repeat the last part. If you're going through something specifically that you feel is really bringing you down, cutting the cords is not going to end that. You're not going to wake up and feel differently. It's a thing we all do subconsciously. You chords with other people people create chords with you it's not directly affecting your depression or your anxiety it affects your energy that you deal with every day which again could eventually get there but that's not that's not going to be a cure for i encourage

people to do it but i think because we didn't get into that segment people took that as i'm cutting cords for major things in my life and it'll do that way and this is also something you have to kind of go on your own to eventually get to the person that will be right for you i can't give you the cord lady and she'll be right for you it's a journey that takes some time to get to. Okay. So, yeah, I can't just pass that off the way. It's a circle thing. Okay. Within our circle, I can do that because it's an energy thing. Okay. I can't give it to a stranger and it'll work.

She'll have no idea what to do with you. Interesting. So, yeah. Also get that checked out from a real doctor. Yeah, I want to thank Rory for that, man. Nah, deadass. For real. FR on that one.

As I'm putting you on email with her. Here comes the bullshit. He's loaded it up. You will not get me to clown cord cutting twice. No. Email me, please. They bullied you? And that's that, man.

We out of here, man. Real good pod. Let me cock this Imani back right quick. Hold on. You. I didn't mean Imani's cock. It sounded that way. I hear love calling, but I'm just too far away.
