i will say New Orleans was Strict about the No let you in without the Shit Like you had to show them your card Wear the mask when you go into the bar Every bar damn near I mean a couple of them would be on

So when you vaccinated cool But like I would say 90% of the bars we went to They made you show the card Yeah no Made you wear the mask Nah When I popped up to go to Mel

gonna call Melba, or I'm gonna call Melba. But I'm gonna eat. I'm starving. They let me in, but I'm just saying, that was that moment where it hit me like, oh, it's serious. They're not playing with you. They're not playing.

I was shocked in New Orleans because that's like a hot spot apparently. Nah. And it's the South, so I was like, they're not going to give a shit. Vegas, they were not playing. And you know Vegas was one of the original hot spots where people was being ignorant. Vegas, Miami, Atlanta. I'm going in December. Yo, they wasn't playing.

I was gambling. Motherfuckers had their shit over their mouth, but not the nose. They would stop the whole car. How much you was gambling? I lost a lot of money. But no, yo, listen. You got to pull it over your nose. Not just like they wasn't playing.

They would stop the whole car game. Oh, wow. So they wasn't playing the Vegas. You lost and kept going back? Of course. Why is that an of course? Give it to me. Because he's a gambler. No, wow. Like, so they wasn't playing the Vegas. You lost and kept going back? Of course. Why is that an of course? Give it to me. Because he's a gambler.

Nah, I'm a gambler. So back in the day, like, yo, dog, I would go to school, high school, and wouldn't go to one class. You know, I'm not

going to let you do that. I'm going to do this on my birthday. Nah, I'm not. You asking me. What else do you gamble in? Everything. My nigga, we could bet

on which spider is going to climb up the wall the fastest. I bet. And you'll make a bet on it? Yeah, the one on the left has got some long legs. He look like he get busy. Gambling is really an addiction for real. I had to stop. Of course.

I had to stop. Like, I won't really go to Atlantic City often, shit like that, because I know how I get. Oh, man. You got to stop yourself. I got to get a table in my house. This nigga got a problem. Take all his money. He can't control himself.

I put a table every floor. What's your game? I don't want to play you. I'm the house. Again, everything. I learned how to play poker when I was seven, my nigga. Oh, you was some type of...

You was the first whiz kid, huh? Y'all niggas laughing in the back. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. All right, listen, man. We supposed to be talking music. Nah, I know. Simple shit, but I did want to find out about New Orleans. It was a blast, though, until that.

I mean, food was great. Music was great. Drinks was great. You keep telling me I need to go. Oh, you definitely got to go. I've never been. You've never been. Rem was skeptical about it, too.

She was like, eh. She's never been either? She's never been. Really? And we went. She was like, this is the greatest shit I've ever had in my entire life. I heard the food is different. Different.

Different. Go ahead. Get in there. Easy. Mm-mm. I'm playing Boogeyman number two first. What? And got to set the stage. The stage is being set. Yeah. When I pull up on a nigga, tell that nigga bad, bad I'm too good with these words watch a nigga bad track if I die

all I know is I'm a motherfucking legend it's too late for my city I'm the youngest nigga reppin oh my god oh my god if I die yo you know what it's gonna be like when these and I know we've been it's been a lot of Dre Kanye Kendrick these last few, you know what it's going to be like when he's in the end? I know. It's been a lot of Drake, Kanye, Kendrick, these last few parts. That's what it is, though. We've been waiting for the big dogs. The big dogs are here. Why do people get mad that, like, when the big dogs come and they get the recognition and the attention that they deserve, why do people get mad?

Like, oh, you're talking about drinking. Some people are saying that you are creating or fabricating a situation that's not dear. That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. That's fun. Maybe. That's fun. Yeah.

We not saying we not. No, I'm saying. What's your problem? What's the problem there? We're going to keep doing that. We're not stopping that part. That's the fun. It's boring to just sit on our hands and wait for the album to come out.

No. Hey, sometimes when I want to turn up the fun level, I hit the participants with my theories. Yo. This happening, ain't it? Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey, come on. Hey, what y'all doing?

I know I'm right. Come on, give it to me. I'm a kid. I hit them niggas. You got it. Kanye, boy, we'll be back. No, I ain't in Kanye. I ain't in Kanye.

But this is fun. This is what's going to happen. So here we are. No, no, no. Drake, no. You Kanye. But this is fun. This is what's going to happen. So here we are. No, no, no. Drake, no. You can't do this right now. Your time will come, buddy. You stop trying to torment and torture people.

You let fucking Kanye. You let Kanye have his fucking time, god damn it. Why you? Stop texting Lucian. Put it out, Lucian. Fam, I'm surprised. Yo, I'm coming here to tell the truth. I'm not getting loud.

I'm not screaming. When Ice get here, Ice is not here right now because Ice don't give a fuck about this shit. I'm surprised Drake didn't release another laughing video. Well, he gave you the laughing video. Just apply it. I would have released another one. No, I would have released another one.

Hey, when Kanye dropped, I'd have laughed. When the baby's manager said something, I'd have laughed. When Soulja Boy said something, I'd have released another one. Hey, when Kanye dropped, I'd have laughed. When the baby's manager said something, I'd have laughed. When Soulja Boy said something, I'd have laughed. I'd have put that laughing video at every step like a YouTube ad. I'd have put that shit as many places as I could. I'd have been crying. Now stop, because this is not right. That's fucked up what's going on, man.

Lucian, hit the button. Yeah, yo, Drake. Oh, man, why they did that? But he says he's not ready. Wait, wait, wait. Uh-oh. I'll tell you one thing,

though. Yeah. Drake, you heard this, though. Hey, I know we laughingin and shit it's all fun and games but All that spoke, heaven sent Everything I spoke, what I meant Never disguised my intent Glass outside the event Brought my life out the drain God thank God, look what he did, did, did, did We off the grid, grid, grid, grid, grid We off the grid, grid, grid, grid, grid I'm off the grid, got tattoos on my ribs

We gonna say rest in peace to a few people. And I think that's it. I got a new cellar with a chimney I got a few more to finish me I don't get too friendly with the enemy You gotta move different when you in the industry You gotta move different when you in the industry You gotta move different when you in the industry Yo, I'm getting back to that I am getting back to that. What's that? What the fuck? New Ice and Ish.

Why Lucian did that, man? Come on. Let's get right to it. Why did he do that? Drake told him to. You really think he did that? No. Oh. Why would he say that then?

Do I think who did what? That's what Ye does. do I think who did what that's what Ye does oh do I think who did what do we think that it was released on accident or without Kanye's permission yeah

you do yeah fuck no that wasn't released on his permission they might have uploaded the wrong file or something fam you really believe that yes

talk me out of it I think that that was my question talk me out of it. That was my question. Talk me out of it. How would you have the Masters to upload if that wasn't what was supposed to happen? I could definitely see it being, yo, you picked the wrong folder. I sent you two folders. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You said you picked the wrong one. I could definitely see that. That happens kind of often. Not often, but somewhat often. Okay. I could see that. But you think they purposely did that against his wishes? Or he's lying.

Yeah. That's my stance. I don't think they purposely did that to arguably the biggest artist. I don't think that the Sunday date was agreed upon by all parties. That's my statement. See, I thought he went on a church route and released it on Sunday. Welcome to Joe Budden Podcast. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

For something. Bye, bye, bye. That was my stance. Oh, shit, that makes sense. It's a gospel slash hip hop album. He had the whole Kanye church thing that was planned. That's what I thought. To not go with the traditional

Friday, Tuesday release. I'm going to do my shit on Sunday because it's gospel. That's what I thought. I thought so too. And that makes sense to me. I don't think they went against arguably the biggest artists

on the planet and released this shit without him. He's arguably, he's top five artists on the planet. Yeah. Who would call you in? Yeah, absolutely.

Why wouldn't they go against him? Nah, they wouldn't go against him. They would not. You said they wouldn't. I don't think they would. I don't think they would either. See, good. I'm glad.

That's awesome. No, I'm just saying. I like that we have these contrasting views. I don't think they would just disrespectfully go against what that nigga Wishes was. I don't think so either. I think that, again, he may have uploaded the wrong folder and he may have had a... They may have agreed,

y'all were putting it out this Sunday and Kanye may have woke up Saturday or at 9 p.m. and said, nah, I actually did that. I want to push that to next week. And that didn't get relayed to... Or they said, no, I'm tired of your shit.

For me to subscribe to what y'all are saying means that I'd have to stop thinking what I thought weeks ago, which was Universal ain't letting them two drop on the same day. They're just not letting it happen. Kanye's whole team and stance and maneuvering said, I want to drop the same day.

That, to me, seemed like honest talk. He ain't never lied in rant mode here to my knowledge. He just be talking. It may sound crazy, but he just go. I want to drop with Drake. That was us saying, no, you don't. No, you don't. So I could roll with what y'all saying.

Hey, it was the wrong foul. It was the wrong folder. Cool. I could, I could do that. Or if I'm Def Jam or Universal and I was never letting you drop with you drake actually i'm getting mad that you keep inserting drake you keep you keep pissing drake off see when drake is doing that little laughing and all the little shit that's really just for the people up there yo dog tell your man chill out dog dog tell your somebody tell your man stop playing somebody now do i think that anybody could control

kanye of course not but no i think that def jam universal saw that happening one maybe didn't have all the information of when kanye wanted to drop maybe not all of it in real time as evidenced by that whole the baby debacle with the clearance and the mix up. Clearly everybody's not on the same page and I could see them look and looking at Apple a little funny, but y'all keep having these concerts. Y'all keep y'all getting y'all and made 12 million, 13 million,

whatever. Hey dog, check this out. This is going out. Enough is enough. So so what what was the baby debacle explain that to me the baby put a verse on jail we heard that in the at the chicago at the chicago live stream when the album came out there was no the baby verse kanye posted a text thread saying uh with him being told that the manager is not,

the baby's manager is not clearing the verse for him. So when the manager woke up, well, the text thread said, we calling around, nobody's answering the phone. But mind you, it's time differences, it's late. But when the manager woke up, he posted and said, this is Cap. Why would I not clear this? We did it. And when you hear the baby's verse,

you know he want that verse out. Of course you do. That's the verse he wants. And he got busy. He apologized. He got his shit off. He addressed. That was his address.

They going to clear that. So they fixed that. They fixed it. But Kanye had to do some digging. He came back and he said, yo, that was universal. Tell him again. That was universal that didn't want DaBaby on there. He said that.

I know. I'm not rolling. And if that's true, because I could see that. A couple weeks ago, we sat up here and said, we know DaBaby offended somebody higher up that you probably don't know don't see who happens to be yeah we said that so all of that sounds believable to me to me so they fixed it they did a re-upload the album wasn't available than it was and the baby is there now on his own version not with jay-z that was telling to me That was telling to me too Kanye who does nothing

But put everybody together But he did that with a bunch of the songs He's got the part two later with all the extra verses on it But even with him throughout his career He'll take somebody that's odd Like and he brags about it I took Talib Kweli I threw him with Jay-Z

I'll take Mos Def put him with jay-z i'll take most death put him with freeway i'll take you know what i mean like this guy that's this super hood hood hood yeah hip-hop dude and put him with somebody that's on a earthy eclectic flow so i don't understand why he wouldn't put both of them on the same joint it must be something i'm sure there was some politics you know what i'm politics involved it might be some some political shit that we don't know about I think there is mad politics behind this

and has been for a while but I do think a lot of it was picking the wrong folder cause when you send people like a

file transfer sometimes it lumps them all together so you don't even see it there was another one there you grab the first one and he's changing shit every other day

on this shit nothing nothing about how Kanye's files are handled that there was another one there. You grabbed the first one. And he's changing shit every other day on this shit. Nothing about how Kanye's files are handled makes me think that something loose like that happened at all. Yeah, it's too much money involved for somebody to be that careless.

That's what I would assume. It's all in-house. It's all his people. It's all Wisconsin. It's all... So when you saving a file, you got to be dating it. You can't play with him like that.

Like, that happens to the rest of us. Up there... I would agree with that. Up there, no. It's too much perfection or attempting to be perfect

to be going on there. And I did want to hear Jail with DaBaby and Hold On It, but I understand. I understand. I would have preferred that too. What do you think of the the album let's get to that part i really like it i really like it i only listened to it one time because it's two hours long but i enjoyed it a

lot i think it could be shorter but that's usually my stance on most albums i love it i didn't there wasn't really shit on there i was like you love i could i could have done without this one. Really? Love it. So genius. I think it's... So genius. I think it's a... One to ten. It's brilliant. One to ten.

8.5. Yeah, it's up there. It's not below an eight to me. It's 8.5. I think it's a masterpiece. I do. I hate to say that, but... It is.

I think that it was very intentionally done, and I think it was very well executed do I hate to say that but it is I think that it was very intentionally done and I think it was very well executed I loved it nothing sounds like nothing you know what I'm saying

like the last couple Kanye projects he was trying to make fit in music a little bit just didn't really do that aside from the features and that was my point

about Kanye when I was making it when he was putting out all that other shit that the Kanye hive was trying to say was still there like to the bar of Kanye and I was making it, when he was putting out all that other shit that the Kanye hive was trying to say was still there, like to the bar of Kanye, and I was like, nah, nah, I don't want to hear none of this shit.

You're doing all this MAGA shit, and the music is not there to match. You ain't putting your all into that. You can tell when somebody's putting their all into some shit. So now you got this project, and now I look back, and I look back at all the rappers who told me they were headed to wisconsin it was way more than soldier boy yeah that was on this album and it wasn't on his album that wrote a rap for somebody and it like hundreds we're talking about hundreds of people for years before any of these pop-ups years

all through the pandemic. It makes me think back to the Sunday choir shits when he was popping up places and that shit was beautiful and practice. It was practice. And even all them albums when he did the seven song albums. I think that was all just hold over until this happens. I do. Well, I'm definitely going to disagree with you, gentlemen. That's fine. Yeah, it's okay.

I think this shit is a six. And I'm being nice. The musical instrumentation and all of that is cool. It's dope. It's cool. It's better. I was about to correct myself. Relax. It's better than cool. I don't like the body of work. I think it's way too long.

I think the features did it for me. The features are dope. Features are great. Dope. Most of the features are super dope. Magnificent. But the rest of that shit, I'm not. If I would have bought the CD, I would have threw that shit out my window.

Damn. No bullshit. I'm not mad at you. You made niggas wait that long for that? I like it. I like it. Make us do nothing. But you get what I'm saying? You just said you had thousands and thousands of writers

flying in, being cooped up, working on this shit. I'm thinking this shit is just going to be undoubtedly a monster. This was not a monster. Well, give me the last gospel album you heard that you felt was a monster. That's the one thing I'd say about this.

I love the way that he tread between secular thought process and gospel music. It didn't feel forced on either side. It did. Initially, I think. That's not easy to do, to make something religious and make it sound. No curses. That's why the locks thing kind of took me. It was at the end of the album, but the lock shit kind of threw me because they went into their locks bag.

Right. Right? That's why he took it as a part two. And the curses and all that other shit. Like, I'm like, damn, dog, y'all couldn't. Well, no, you can't curse on the gospel album. And they did. Then they did.

No, they didn't. The locks? Mad bleep outs. Then it's not a curse. Right. If it's a bleep out, it's not a curse. You get what I'm saying. But you can infer what words were there.

Yeah. And that's what you're going to have to do. No, but so if you- Because it's not a gospel album with a curse. No, but so I'm saying like if you're really a writer. Like if they came to you and said, Joe, write me 32 bars, but you can't curse. You could do that.

Of course. So that's my point. I liked Styles P. I'm not even the biggest Styles P. fan. He killed it. I don't know how you're not a big Styles P. fan. I tell y'all every week, but I'm gonna shut up. That's not true, bro.

I like... Bro, I was out when these niggas was out. I was into music when the locks was out. I always liked Chic better than Styles. We don't gotta dwell on your Styles P. dislikes. but dirt killed it to me yeah dirt got busy he did he got busy um i love the jay electronica verse he killed it he went ape shit you disagree i do wish that they would put features on the fucking songs though because i there's a lot of people who's like i know who that is but I don't know who that is.

You know what I'm saying? I mean, the album's like. I need to see some names. I like it a lot. I love the album. Like it a lot. It's probably too long, but again, there's nothing that I was like, oh, this doesn't belong. Everything fit.

Everything was there for a reason, intentional. It's the equivalent of the double CD. It's the equivalent of the double CD. It's the equivalent of the double disc back in the day. True. And if an artist as big as Kanye back in the day said, my next project is a double CD, I would go crazy. Nobody says anything. I would go crazy over that.

Now, in the streaming era, it looks funny when it's all of these songs and you just get them to do whatever you want with them gotcha but i thought he did a great job with even how he sequenced it after i had whatever version i had how he sequenced it loved it uh the changes he made loved it the fucking the mix sounds just like i was expecting it to sound. Shout out to Erko. It was the engineer. New mixer for Ye.

Really? Yeah, I didn't have a bad word to say. But no way was Universal letting Kanye West drop with Drake. Although, technically, I think, won't their first week still be the same day? You know what I'm saying? They don't count. This will show up on the first week report will show up on the same day, I think won't their first week still be the same day? You know what I'm saying? They don't count. This will show up on the first week report will show up on the same day, I think. Because this is within this week cycle.

It's after the Friday. They're both in this week cycle. That's true. That makes sense. Oh, you're going to get me on a deeper dive. That makes sense. Their billboard numbers are gonna come back

the same day their first week numbers are gonna come back the same day man Universal knew that Kanye was gonna do three something

is that what he's being projected at yeah I thought it would be more than that I thought initially it would have been around 350

375 but after the two I don't even know what to call-hmm. But after the two, I don't even know what to call them. The blunders? The two, no, the two previews.

Oh, oh, oh. Listening parties. Like, I think that killed some of his numbers. Really? Yeah. Dog, he released it. Mad niggas had it.

It was leaked. Everybody had it. I mean, in different variations. You got to hear if you would like it or if you would dislike it, but I think 300 plus for Kanye is a win. Everybody had it. And you got the different variations. You got to hear if you would like it or if you would dislike it. But I think 300 plus for Kanye is a win. Yeah, it's still.

I think it's a huge win. I think the number's going to come back higher than that, too, though, when it's all said and done. I mean, if it came back at four, I would be excited for it. Because it's 26 songs. He's going to have an extra six days because he released on Sunday. I think that. The reviews are not good.

The reviews out there are not good. The reviews out there are not good. Are they not good? Horrible. They're killing them on the line. It's been out a day. And they are smoking

his boots. Alright, well let's check back next week. I've seen a lot of people that like it on my timeline. Me too. But maybe I follow more like musically inclined

people or something. You know what I'm saying? They're listening to the musicianship, no? Yeah. And if you're listening to that, I don't see how you could say just bad shit about this album.

But again, Parks is listening to the instrumentation. Me too. I know. You're a musician. So I don't care when he repeats the hook 95 times. I like when the beat's doing some shit. Yeah, the music is busy. I know.

That's your take because you guys are musicians. The average fan is not a musician. The average listener is not a musician. I don't want to hear a nigga repeat the same fucking phrase 17 times. Listen to this. You was leaving my house a couple months ago. I was like, yo, dog, just give me a quick ride to the store. I got in the car.

You turned the radio on. A song I liked was on. I tried to turn it up and get something in it. It just't good it wasn't the same i'm not disagreeing with you so what i'm saying is like how you really know when did you really bump this in something that like he's he himself is going to stadiums to say, this is how this should be heard. So me as a consumer, I'm going to give him his just. I'm going to try to hear it the way he intended for me to hear it. I put that shit on my big bigs, big super bigs.

Took it from there, took it over here. Up there, dang, dang. Yeah, I need all the, whatever he's saying. I need it all, loud. So I don't know. You just got to give it some time. I'm not taking early reviews on this. Yeah, I'm hesitant to put a number on it all. Loud. So I don't know. You just gotta give it some time. I'm not taking early reviews on this. Yeah, I'm hesitant to put a number

on it. You like it or you don't. I got other takes on this. Like, if I'm Nas, I'd send somebody a smack that, man... What you mean? Fam, listening to this album, listening to Nas' albums with Hit-Boy, and then listening to the Kanye Nas, come on, man. I'm still not over that. That is a travesty in hip-hop,

that Kanye Nas part. Oh, the Kanye and Nas album. See, look, you didn't even remember it. You didn't even remember it. And that's my thing. So what you're doing, he ain't put his foot in it? Come on, man. Come on, stop it. Yeah, he ain't put his foot in it.

Stop it. He didn't do what he was supposed to do for Nas. He wouldn't treat Pusha like that. He would never do that to Pusha. He would never, under no circumstance, do that to Pusha. Don't do it to Nas. The fuck out of here I'm gonna be heated

if I was nods but anyway cause you hear him do this no some of that and the music is man incredible shout out to the

six million producers on the album cause there is six million producers I was happy to see every one of them it'd be it'd be four sounds

and the beat and six producers on it I'm like I don't even know how this came to be but that's dope and that's one thing I've always given Kanye a lot of credit for. I think that he actually brought a lot to the game is producer collaborations. He's done that a lot early on when people weren't really doing that.

And he credits people for a hi-hat. And I think that's dope. I'm sure the other producers would be like, you're giving him 1% of my split for those hi-hats. But he was a joker that was laying down beats and wasn't getting his credit and just do. Yeah, true. So, it makes sense.

Well, I will continue to listen to this one. Me too. I've really enjoyed it. I'm going to listen again. I don't know how often I will play it just because it is

gospel music at the end of the day. Like, I'm not always trying to hear some church shit. But that... That's not church shit. You know gospel music, right? Well... That's not church shit. You know gospel music, right?

Well, it's not gospel music. It's not church. Gospel music is. No, I'm just saying. The topics in the songs not churchy either. Few of them start talking about Jesus, but...

Nah, they always sneak it a little bit. They did. That's a gospel album to you? It don't matter what it is to me. Oh, okay. He says it's a gospel album and the Grammy board is going to say it's a gospel album to you? It don't matter what it is to me. He says it's a gospel album, and the Grammy board is going to say it's a gospel album.

He's only going to compete with the gospel albums. The same way who else just snuck an album out under the guise of comedy? Comedy was the genre. I don't remember who did it, but they got these loopholes just going around to get a Grammy. I'm going to put an album out under comedy.

It's going to be a podcast. I'm going to put an album out under comedy. It's going to be a podcast. I'm going to put a podcast album out under some other type of shit because I see what they're doing. They're getting it. Yeah. And when you know what's at stake, when you know what's on the line, yeah, I'm taking every curse out. I'm instructing people to rhyme about God.

I'm bringing the choir. The beats is going to sound this way. Come on down. What's going on? We've been waiting for you. You look great. Yeah, I'm doing all of that. I'm doing all that.

And you're the music guy. I can't wait. Do you like Kanye's album? Ice is here. Round of applause. Sit right down. Get the pot. No, no, no.

Get some water first. Get a nice little. You don't need water? You coming in hot? Coming in hot. right down. Get the pot. No, no, no. Get some water first. Get a nice little. You don't need water? You coming in hot? Coming in hot. Fresh off. One to ten. The whole album?

One to ten. It's like a six. You ice-ish. Exactly what I said. It's like a six. There's a lot of skips on here. A ton. Okay.

But the records that I don't skip, they go. I have been playing all day. How many are there? Four. Shut up. Four out of 26? You're a liar. Nah.

Tell me you don't listen to one of the songs. I'm on four. I liked four songs. All right, time out. All right, this is why we need you here. Hey, what's up? You skip jail? No.

You can't skip jail. That's why I said it. Absolutely not. You don't skip off the grid, grid, grid, grid. Nope, that's two. For my kid, kid, kid, kid. For my kid, kid, kid, Taff. You no way you skip that.

That's two. Right? Correct. I would be personally offended if you skip Heaven and Hell. It's not nothing I'm running back to. It was cool. Heaven and Hell was cool. It was cool. Heaven and Hell was cool? It was cool.

I've played the album a good three times straight through. And then I already got my ones that I just jumped back to. I can skip around. Which ones are there? Jail, which I combined. 24? I don't like 24. Okay.

Jail, like I said, I combined one and two to make one track. Hurricane. Off the Grid. And there's one more. Keep going. Fam. I'm going off the name. Lord, I need you.

Am I missing? I must be missing something here. Hold up. This is all up in here. Dog. Yo, where did you listen to this? What speaker did you listen to this on? At my AirPods on.

Oh, I see it. Yo, yo, yo. See, that's what I mean, man. You not going to be. That's not. Yo, and that's why this dude is ill. You got to listen to some of this stuff as it's intended. You are listening.

You got to have some responsibility as a consumer. You thought, you seen this dude setting himself on fire in stadiums and you thought the ear pods would be enough? Hey, Joe, I don't have a stadium. I know. And everybody don't got the big JBL shit like you got in your 5,000 square foot house. And I got a baby. We're talking about average.

It's a gospel, old Weiss. The baby needs to hear it to find Jesus. My baby like 42 dough. No more promos. No more photos. No more logos. No more chocos. We on Bezos.

We get payrolls, trips to Legos Connect like Legos, make this final I think this is like a masterpiece Hear this beat? And that's with a note sampling Let's cut him off We can mute him We can mute him

Oh no, oh Whoa Why? He ain't beating this bass Why? I know the real you You know it You know it No more arguing, no more asking who really are you I know the real you, you know we feel you, you know he needs you You know we with you, straight from Beirut, Chicago, Beirut You pray, we pray too, you pray, we pray too

Never too late for him to save you This your movie, cause no one can play you Devil, lay down, Devil, lay down. Oh, my God. 300 Spartan time. Let's do it. Hold up. No peace.

Hold up. Hold up. Dog, I don't believe you. I think you're lying. If you tell me that that don't do it for your soul, for your spirit, if you tell me that you put that in the right speaker, in the right mood, that you- I just told you. I had it in the AirPod Pros.

I'm telling you. I'm just telling you. I just told you I had it in the AirPod Pros. I'm telling you. I'm letting you talk this part. I'm telling you that I do not believe that in the right speaker at the right time, that's coming on and you're getting up to walk to your phone or your system

and skip it. I don't believe that. I'm not rolling. Nope. Please don't call police just stay play for no the last album you liked sounded amazing this sounds like the amazing version of amazing like not even the music music is subjective music is subjective i'm just talking about sound i know well But see I take it all And I don't just care How to beat sound

I'm the entire picture I need everything Yeah I need everything Entire picture Look at the whole picture Look what he did He painted a masterpiece Look what he painted

A abstract He took It might be abstract He painted an abstract And the thing about Masterboards and art And all of that Is beauty is in the eye

To behold it He's always been abstract I know No some of that shit Is und to behold him. He's always been abstract. I know. No, some of that shit is undeniably dope. He ain't always been abstract. Some of that shit is What was undeniably dope

that wasn't abstract? From Kanye West. I could say his first three albums. Yeah, I was gonna say the first three. I don't see them in there. You can't argue them.

We would disagree on what Kanye... I would agree with that. They were not particularly abstract. I would agree with that. They were not particularly abstract. They're a little more on the nose. Conn's dropout was abstract in 2003. No. We knew exactly.

No, listen. I get what you're saying. You're saying he did something that nobody else was doing. It was abstract. That's not abstract. Abstract is I know what he's saying. I understand his direction. When you look at an abstract painting, I don't know what that shit means. I don't know what they's saying I understand his direction when you look at an abstract painting I don't

know what that shit means I don't know what they trying to convey right when you listen to college dropout you knew exactly what direction he was going it was just something that nobody else was doing that didn't make it abstract for the listener it was amazing but it wasn't necessarily

like not abstract Jesus was abstract it awaits a heartbreak graduation you might be able to It was amazing, but it wasn't necessarily. Not abstract. Yeezus was abstract. 808s and Heartbreaks was abstract. 808s and Heartbreaks was abstract. Graduation, you might be able to argue, was a little bit abstract. A little bit. Not graduation. I'm sorry.

Late registration. 808s was abstract. Graduation was very on the nose. 808s is where it started for me. It was where the, yeah, I agree. I'm totally in agreeance with that. You both give this a six. Yes.

That's what you gave it to? Absolutely. Oh, shit. And again, Ice is way more musically in tune than I, but I, it's work. I made it my business to listen to the whole joint. This ain't it. I ain't about to force it down your ears.

It's cool. Don't get me wrong. I mean, it's cool. You think I don't work for good music. Y'all don't have to force it down your ears It's cool Don't get me wrong I mean it's cool It's cool Nigga I don't work for good music Y'all don't have to convince me I know I'm just saying I love this shit

Again I just think What you and Parks What you guys are looking for The average consumer is not Because you guys are musicians That may be true I want to hear something different You talking about the horn

Yo wait till these drums set in Nigga they ain't start yet. Average nigga not listening to that. You know what this album does for me? Because forget about music and all this horn shit I'm talking about. At some point, as rappers age, I would like to be able to hear and see that. And when I look at the last five years of kanye west and all that he's endured and gone through marriage divorce the kids the his his mouth everything it was a different

but it's always been his mouth it's always been death it's always been he's grieving his mom he's it's always been some of that i think god put a new set of shit on his plate in the last five, six years. Maybe debt. He got to feel like what debt feels like as he was leveling up. He was like, oh, shit, how do I get that bill? I just think this, for it to be gospel, for the choir shit that he was doing for years, the fact that he always can incorporate everybody just perfectly it's just he applied himself he applied himself it sounds like him i know what it's i know that feeling

when you you broke up with your girl but your album is coming out your wife now i need you come through i also know what it's like to work on something that's a little bit conceptual and different and big in scope and thought and actually doing it and executing it which he did like y'all are judging a gospel album I know you say

it's not traditional I was wait hold on before you even say that no no let him get his thought off it's just an important thought y'all are sitting here

critiquing a gospel album to me that's a win exactly exactly that's a win it's a gospel album yes

cause see to me oh man and this ties into the whole even though I'm not a big believer in the whole Kanye's a genius like I don't run to that like everybody else does yeah

this feel like he created a whole new genre I don't call it gospel I don't call it rap I don't know what the fuck this is but it's hard like I like that part that's the brilliance of it

that's why I think it's a masterpiece. That's not to take, but still, me listening to it, just putting my headphones on and running through this album, I'm like, okay, this is cool.

Yeah, it's nude. I don't mean it's, oh my God, this is amazing. I didn't feel that. I felt it more watching the live streams than listening to the album.

And that's what I was just about to say. You know what really, Ice Finds a new way to come in and tick me off. It's my birthday, so I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care.

But this is my thing. And this is what you just represented for me. You represented the fan who, when it's not out yet, but I hear it, it's fire. When it comes out, it's not the same for me it's not new maybe and I don't like that fans do that but that happens

no but that happens yo I know Demo-itis I'm one of the kings of it yeah it's Demo-itis but maybe not Demo-itis but it kind of is

because every time the live stream come out I get that I've been listening to this for a while yes loving it yeah so now for me to actually but I fell in love with certain versions come out, I get that. I've been listening to this for a while. Loving it.

You was loving it. But I fell in love with certain versions of it. He fell in love with certain songs, too. Like, the very first time I heard the jail shit, y'all know I came here like... Yeah. You don't like it now? No, of course you don't.

I've been running back to that all day. I've watched all the live streams. I haven't saved them and listened to them like you maybe have. So I'm kind of curious about what you think about the development of the album. He's mad that he took Chris Brown off. He really took Chris Brown off. I see why Chris Brown's cursing him. He on it, though.

Yeah, but not like he was. Yeah, not like the version two was. It was a duet. You could hear chris now now it's lowered his vocals put the choir on there yeah he's hardly there people don't like that but you know well with yay and i don't with yay he we saw this with pablo that version is going to come out in two weeks yeah like that's just how he do he's gonna go back in and tweak and tweak and tweak this album's not done yeah i already had to re-download it one time.

Me too. He got me. He changed some of it. Yeah, he changed it. I don't know what. Already? I don't know what. I just was pulling up earlier.

I was like, oh, shit. The baby wasn't on the first one, right? No. So which version do you think is the best? Version two. Okay. Which was the, not the Chicago one. That was the second Atlanta one. Second Atlanta. Okay. That was the, not the Chicago one. That was the second Atlanta one.

Second Atlanta one. Okay. That was the best one to me. Even though version three is where we got the baby's verse, which I think is the standout on the album.

Really? Yeah. So version two plus the baby's verse. Correct. So not the Fabio verse. It was until I heard the baby verse.

Not the Dirk verse. No, the Dirk verse wasn't the best anyway. I had the Fabio verse as the best verse on the album until I heard the Baby verse. Not the Dirk verse. No, the Dirk verse wasn't the best anyway. I had the Fabio verse as the best verse on the album until I heard the Baby verse. That verse is different. Honestly, I liked a lot of their verses. I liked the Baby verse. The features killed.

See, and that's another thing I don't like. I saw a lot of, oh, this is too many features on the album. Listen, there's no such thing as too many features on the album if they make sense and it works yeah especially when

you only use that when you want to knock somebody it's just the J. Cole effect of he did it without features I agree I like that too

I like it too as long as the shit is dope well I liked it the first maybe two times like now we wanted to hear him

with some features and guess what he did went and got features I loved hearing him with features J. Cole guess what he did? Went and got features. I loved hearing him with features. Yeah. J. Cole sounds great with features. He should do features more.

He does now. But I like all the features on the album. Nah, I'm not mad at any features. No. Certain songs. And, yo, another thing. Joe, me and you had jokes about it. That J. Alec verse is. He smoked that.

Yo. He smoked that. I really paid attention to that verse. That's my favorite verse. I was like, that J-Elec verse is... He smoked that. He smoked that. I really paid attention to that verse. That's my favorite verse. I was like... That's my favorite verse. I was about to ask you,

you like the baby verse better than the J-Elec verse? But also, I don't know which one of these cameras is on me. West Side Gun, you smoked that. And I want everybody to know

I said it, he smoked that verse. The features made sense on here I agree and I'm not I don't care who you got and you still hate it I don't hate it

I don't hate it you still skipping everything but four songs I hold Kanye you know the other problem I hold Kanye to a very high bar yo like almost impossible to reach

and I said that about this album you keep putting out these live streams you're gonna make it to where you like i've heard versions now i don't want to hear that after his last three albums this is a this is a lifesaver this is music to my ears i agree after his last i didn't listen i still haven't heard the album and i still haven't heard the kids see ghost album yet i didn't heard the Kid C. Ghost album yet. I didn't listen to those. So I went from Pablo,

and I didn't hear Jesus is King either. You think Pablo's better than this? Yes. I don't think so. I think Pablo. I play more. You think Yeezus is better than this? I hated Yeezus.

808s? 808s is one of the greatest albums of all time to me. Give me your order of Kanye's discography best to where you 808s I go back and forth between 808s and Graduation

okay that's the best Graduation's the best I love 808s I feel you My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that's number two College Dropout

that's number three so y'all and Cahoots oh no he's got 808s higher somewhere than I do Dark Twisted Fantasy. That's number two. College Dropout. That's number three. So y'all, and Cahoots. Oh no, he's at 808's higher somewhere than I do. Yeah, I have 808's very high.

I don't have 808's that high. I really, I appreciate what it did, but it's not one of my favorite albums to go to. I run to that album. I liked Yeezus though. See,

I didn't like Yeezus. I like, I like three records off of Yeezus. I didn't like a couple of them at the beginning, but from like track five on, that shit is great. New Slaves, Bound To, and there was one more, I forget. Blood on the Leaves. three records off of Yeezus. I didn't like a couple of them at the beginning. But from like track five on,

that shit is great. New Slaves, Bound 2, and there was one more, I forget. Blood on the Leaves. Blood on the Leaves. Those are the three I like off Yeezus. That was the one.

Yeah. But yeah. So I have no idea where to put this in his discography. I wouldn't. It's too early for that. I was about to say, I wouldn't put this in here anyway.

I don't even sound excited talking about Kanye. What? You want me to be no you super excited that's why cause you love this shit I love this shit

I asked him what his one to ten was you weren't here he said 8.5 off mic Park said like an 8 and then on mic he said like an 8

8.5 too so and that's on the quick listen but I've loved this from the demo I've loved it I've loved it

see that's my problem I think if I didn't hear the demos, I'd like it more. I thought it was going to be... That happens, though. And then when Certified Lover Boy drop, I'm going to go back and forth from Horned Dog to Gospel King. I'm going back and forth. Contrast.

You need them both. Yes, yes. You need them both. All right, so Drake puts out the funny picture with all the pregnant emojis everybody laughs it's the album cover I don't think it's

a funny picture yeah it's the album cover but I said to myself Elliot Wilson confirmed this is the official album cover

for Certified Lover Boy that's a horrible album cover I'm telling you now I was gonna say it's a terrible album cover I already got my backup that's getting changed the second I hit download

I mean I'll take the little heart sheet Caesar That's kind of dope to me But You like the emoji cover? Yeah that's kind of dope When you drape you can do that No doubt

That's kind of dope It gets people talking I get that It's called Certified Lover Boy. And you got a whole bunch of chicks on the cover in a second trimester. That's dope, fam. I mean, for me. That's kind of hot. You got a trimester on the fucking emoji cover.

But this shit is not it. He can do that. That's not it. This is not it. I'm listening. Because I know you're going to say something funny. No, I'm not funny. We talked about before about when Joe, well, of course, it's Drake. We know it's coming. We're looking not it. I'm listening. Because I know you're going to say something funny. No, I'm not. We talked about before about when Joe, well, of course, it's Drake.

We know it's coming. We're looking for it. But we talked about how important your artwork is to your project. This ain't it, man. Drake has some questionable covers, though. This ain't it. He's with a bunch of emojis. Drake's got a bunch of questionable album covers.

What's yours, then? I don't want to get in. Y'all going to say I'm caping. Nah, I like that. They're going a bunch of questionable album covers. What's your stance? I don't want to get y'all going to say I'm caping. Nah, I like that. They're going to say I'm caping. They say I always cape. They think I'm an OVO.

Yeah, they do. But I think it's floppy. Okay. I think it's humorous. I like this. Me too. And

if I don't like it now they're going to say oh, Joe got all his basses covered and if I don't like it, now they're going to say, oh, Joe got all his basses covered. And if I don't like it, Drake has long ago earned the benefit of the doubt from me when it comes to album covers. Case in point, I'll give it to you. I was in my living room with Rory when fucking, if you're reading this now, it's too late. When that cover dropped.

Pull up all of Drake's album covers. No, no, it's up. Leave it right there. Okay. now it's too late when that cover drops. Pull up all of Drake's album covers. No, no, it's up. It leaves right there.

Okay. I thought that that was easily, easily by far the worst album cover in the world. Until Care Package came out. I thought... Wait, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

My wife. Wait, no, stop. Stop, y'all. Can I just finish my point? Then this came out. Y'all loved it. Y'all loved it. Y'all loved it. Which one?

If you're reading this, it's too late. 2015. It was the best album cover ever. Y'all changed that funny font to say anything that y'all wanted to say. And that campaign ran for ages. And I said, you got me. You got me there, buddy. I still hate that cover.

And then that was 2015. And then Views came out. And y'all know how I felt about that album at the time, because I came in here and said it. But they put the big-ass Toronto thingamajiggy there with a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny drink there. When I saw it, I said, cute pic, dog. But for an album cover, nah, Aubrey.

We need to see you on your and then you know what they did everybody they took little teeny teeny everybody was sitting up there everybody was teeny and they put them up there

and that campaign ran for months and I said this guy fucking did it again hey I like nothing was the same 2013

that cover was hard that was hard that, I like. Nothing was the same. 2013. That cover was hard. That was hard. That one was hard. But it did the same, stop, it did the same thing. They took that cover.

He trolled. Everybody else was the, I don't know if it's him, if it was Apple, if it was fans, whoever it was, Take Care, y'all know what we did

with the Take Care cover. I don't have to tell y'all that. And last, my last one. Take me later. My last one was Not More Life. No, Care Package. That was a terrible cover. I don't have to tell y'all that. And last, my last one. Take me later. My last one was Not More In Life. No, Care Package. That was a terrible cover. I could have done that on my

iPhone. Damn, there was one more. Where is the Care Package cover? The one with the fucking Benz on the cover. Right there. It's horrible. Now that you mention it, they've all been kind of bad.

Take Me Later is a bad cover. He don't have a good cover. No, if you're reading this too late, that's not bad to me. Care Package, though, is kind of mixtape-ish. I'll give him a pass there. Dark Lane, same thing. That was bad.

But those ones that went viral and carried the shit for months and months at a time. It's smart at the same time. Then it's smart and bad. This one already started. Then it's smart and bad. That's what I'm saying.

It started already. Yeah. It started. Now I said pregnant dudes on it. Y'all going to see this for the rest of the year, this little pregnant emoji thingamajiggy thingamajiggy. Y'all going to see this for a long time now. Look. I won't see it when I play the album.

And all of y'all that hate this cover, when y'all hear the album and he start piecing it together, why this is the fucking cover, I don't want to hear y'all come back and say, oh, I see what he did. Nope. Nope. No, no, we can do that. I think this is the fucking cover. I don't want to hear y'all come back and say, oh, I see what he did. Nope. Nope. We can still, no, no, we can do that. I think this is funny. We take, that's all we got right now.

We can hate this cover. This is hilarious. I think it's funny. This is hard. I think it's funny. It's definitely hilarious. This is great. I think it's funny.

I think it's provocative. I just imagine somebody that big to be busy when people call him and say, hey, dog, we need you to approve the picture for the album. Why do you want to go? We need the thank yous. We need the insert. Yo, put the emojis. Look at this.

Lil Nas X gotta relax, man. Yo, what if he can't fuck? What? What if Lil Nas X can't fuck? We need the g Lil Nas X can't fuck? We need the gays to come. We need somebody to come. All right, forget it. I don't care.

You can't just be this boisterous about shit. What if he trash? We need a gay nigga to come out. Yo, dog, that dick ain't even like that. He run around like he the fucking big dick champ. Oh, man. Fam, can we move on to the big dick champ. Oh, man. Can we move on to the next topic? Come on, man.

You're making it so comfortable, man. Come on. Fix him up. Bro, that's not funny, man. I don't think you're editing that. First of all, I don't think you're editing that. We're editing. Say bye.

Did you get that? Write that down. Yeah, everywhere. Paint the wall with those timestamps. Anyway, I think it's great. I can't wait to hear the music. That's all I care about.

He's dropping with no, so he's dropping with no official single. And again, he's Drake, my nigga. Like, honestly, what could he really put on the cover that's going to be fly? Other than some abstract shit. Just some colors on a white canvas would be dope. But that's dope.

Yo, Drake, next time just put abs. Now you just got to start wilding. Now you just got to put stupid shit on your album cover. Now you setting the bar, so now you just got to go all out. Yeah, that's funny. You just got to start wiling. Now you just got to put stupid shit on your album cover. Now you're setting the bar, so now you just got to go all out. Yeah, that's funny. You just got to do some wild shit there. Now he could have went and got your man. You want to see him do an Ohio Players album covers with the honey and shit?

This tells me this album is going to be fire. That's what he should have did. Wait, this don't tell you the album is going to be fire, though? Yes. Because if he was sitting on some bullshit, he ain't about to play with y'all like this. Yeah, yeah yeah this tells me nothing you're bugging

I have expectations cause it's drink for sure I'm talking about looking at this

if I don't know shit and I'm just looking at this if he's a new artist you don't do this as a new

artist you don't but you don't tell this doesn't tell me if I was in the record

store I saw this I would probably buy it no even if you didn't this is this doesn't tell me I'm fired. If I was in the record store and I saw this, I would probably buy it. No, even if you didn't know. Yeah, I'm like, this is some weird shit. Let me get this. This looks like it could be some bullshit.

Oh, that's Drake? All right, fuck it. This looks like he better drop some heat. No, I want y'all to talk about it. Now I'm going to smoke y'all niggas' boots. Yo, I read somewhere, somebody said that Kendrick put Georgia Smith in the PG Lang ad. I don't know.

The commercial? I don't follow the PF Changs. If I find out that is true. If I find out and come back and walk some

takes back. Savon. Huh? It's true. I need to see that. What do you know? I need to see that. What do you know? I need to see that. Show me.

Oh, no. I'm from Missouri. So, if that happened. Then Kendrick's in. Oh, no. He's on his ass. Number two is DMing my bitch. He didn't say that long.

I don't know. I don't care. I don't care. He was there. King said it, right? Yeah. So't care. He was there. King said it, right? Yeah. So? So.

He was there, though. No, I don't need to watch it. I just need to know if it was true. Ice the one that told me they couldn't be talking about each other. But Ice, listen to this.

I went home and listened to me talk. You talked for three hours straight. I know. I know. Then I got mad at Ice for not interrupting me. And they got mad at me. Like, yo, if you don't want to be there, just don't be there.

You look uninterested. You don't tell me, yo, why you ain't say nothing? That Joe's in his bag. Three hours straight. I'm about to just start playing solitaire in the fall. You got it. But listen, I went home and thought about your theory about if Kendrick is talking to everybody. He's talking to Drake.

But if he's talking to everybody, I want to stay on ISIS. Who cares about that? Drake is in everybody, is he not? That's what I kept saying. That's what I'm saying. That's not what you said. But again, if you said, you're making it seem like I said, yo, he's talking to everybody excluding Drake.

No, you didn't say that. I said, no, he's in that too. No, you didn't. You, you, you, you, whoever else, y'all are all in it. That's all I kept saying. But you kept saying that he's not... It's like, if you're the Kansas City Chiefs,

cool, right? Yeah. You want to win every game. Yeah. But when Tampa Bay gets on your radar, you take that game differently. Yeah. You're not going to just act like it's any old game.

I don't give a fuck what they say. You can say, yo, it's any old game. He's not looking at homeboy like he's any old regular old nigga. Not at all. He's not doing it. All I'm telling you. And that's what you were trying to say. No, what I kept trying to say was just this.

I think that Kendrick has himself placed so high. It's like when we talked about Michael Jackson versus Prince. Yes, they're both greats. Prince would not look at Michael Jackson as, nigga, you don't play your own. You don't do none of this shit. You're not my competition. Hold up.

No, stay there. We're going to stay there. So for Kendrick, I am the GOAT I baited you I threw that out there Back in 2012 When I did the BET freestyle And I said all of that

You ain't come out Now I'm up here I don't give a fuck about you I'm not thinking about you I'm better than all of you I'm God now Alright stay there That's all

Stay there I'm gonna use your Prince And Michael Jackson analogy Where I am tells a Prince and Michael Jackson analogy. Will.i.am tells a story that Michael Jackson went to the Prince show with him. Prince specifically walked to the corner of the stage where they were and started playing the guitar in his face. Right? And did some funny shit. And Will.i.am said Michael Jackson was like, why did he just do that to me?

He purposely went to the other side of the stage to show Michael Jackson, nigga, I'm better than you. So he's not looking at Michael Jackson like he's every other artist. He's specifically saying you are different. Nigga's saying you're better than me. I'm going to show you you're not. Nigga's saying you're better than me. I'm going to show you you're not. I don't think you are on my level.

Right. But you're not going to. So I'm going to do some you're not. Niggas saying you're better than me. I'm going to show you you're not. I don't think you are on my level. Right. But you're not going to. So I'm going to do some shit you can't do. But you're not going to show special attention to me if you think I'm just one of the fold. No, I would. Ice, if he's talking to everybody, then who cares about that? That's not exciting. Which is what I was saying.

Why are y'all, y'all are reaching to make it more interesting. That's what I kept telling you. No, that sounds nice. We're reaching to make it interesting. So the guy that has been tucked away in hiding that we haven't heard a word from that probably has a project coming soon and would have needed his first appearance to have some type of impact. You think all of us just...

You don't think Kendrick knows his first appearance is going to type of impact you think all of us just you don't think kendrick knows his first appearance is gonna have an impact regardless kendrick will come out and do anything no not regardless not regardless and don't do anything don't talk to anybody what do you mean do anything i'm talking about he can come out and do a verse about anything oh please bro this is kendrick you talking about stop putting him with the little niggas i'm not gonna disagree with that stop putting him with the little niggas he I'm not going to disagree with that. Stop putting him with the little niggas. He can pop out whenever, and it's a moment because of where he's at now. But he don't. He don't.

But he don't. So when I pop out, whatever I say is going to hit. But he don't. I'm still me. But he don't. I'm still me. No, no, stop. But he don't.

You write in theory, he should feel like that, and I'm sure he does. But he don't. When he pop up it's smoke control whatever control he was out he was active during control though that's different that's true that's different that's true he ain't come out of nowhere with the control

yeah that was different my memory is too bad that shit was out of nowhere to go back to the verse came out of nowhere I thought it was out of nowhere too he wasn't inactive. And then when he came back on the scene, control. He was still moving around. And he dropped the control.

And it caught niggas by surprise. So he came back to tell everybody again. He the best? On one hand, you're telling me he think he that nigga. And he's different. But he's coming back again to talk to all of the minions to say, yo, I'm still that nigga. I'm not talking to the minions. I'm not rolling with that.

I'm not talking to the minions. I'm talking to the fans. Telling y'all, yo, I am still that nigga. I'm not talking to the minions. I'm not rolling with that. I'm not talking to the minions. I'm talking to the fans telling y'all, yo, I am the fucking GOAT. Yo, you keep changing your shit, man. I'm done with it. Who you got in the top?

I'm smoking on your top five. Now he's talking to the fans. I'm telling everybody that I am the fucking best. You're right. But if he was not worried, hear me out. If he wasn't worried

about nobody, he would've just made a regular old song. He wouldn't have had to come out like Nigga I don't give a fuck who He's He I'm disagreeing with you No I

Y'all Hey we agree to disagree That's cool I ain't mad at it I'm telling you I'm just looking at where kids are at Grow down on this verse please He don't think nobody's on his level

Thank you So if I If I know nobody in the If I know nobody in the school could beat me I don't gotta keep telling y'all niggas y'all can't beat me. But I can, though. Because you can't beat me. Because you can't do nothing about it.

I can continue to say it as much as I want. Right. Until somebody want to do something about it. Do you really believe it, though? Do you really got to keep telling niggas I'm the richest in the room? Do you really like it? I want you the richest in the room. No.

No. You don't have to do it. Hey, do something about it whoever wants to come do something open invitation this is the Kendrick invitation

it's over for that one no no no come get some you can't do that why can't he you can't do that that can't keep being the course of action

you did that already yo I come out and what happened though come out everybody in the world said something. Not the niggas that you. Exactly.

In that bucket. What are you? See? See? Because in their brains, they don't have to respond to you, you peon. Ice is crazy, man. Why does he keep changing? Every time I think I got him on the ropes, he fucking pivots.

Hey, guess what? I'm going to keep doing it. Ice. On the control verse, I'm going by what you're saying. He was talking to everybody. Everybody came back and said, fuck you're saying he was talking talking to everybody everybody came back and said fuck you and he didn't say nothing because that wasn't who he was talking to it's a great point that's a really good point so wait that's what happened then mad niggas rap and he got quiet and silent went away he didn't have to respond to us of course now here we go again

you've been quiet you pop out i'm better than everybody but hey dog we already know that we know that so we're not about to who now is about to come out and say hey no you're not hey i'm rapping hey no we already get it so no the next course of action i'm waiting for y'all to do something no no no stop ice stop not in 2020 i'm waiting for you to do something niggas did something little baby came up roddy rich came up roddy wave came us a bunch of little niggas that have been here for a year or two and did something they did something already so i'm not rolling with that from kendrick kendrick is just great and one of the greatest but i don't think he's calling for a course of action from many people out there.

Roddy Ricch. I don't think he's calling for a course of action from anybody. And if you're right. I don't think he cares. And if you're right. I really don't. If you're right and he is talking to everybody and nobody is of any more importance than the other, then that's really boring. That's really boring.

That's my point. And so what? And that was my point. We don't care if you really in your heart of hearts believe that nobody is on your level and you are light years ahead of all of them yeah why say it this is the difference ice this is the difference when a hoe says yo i fucked all them niggas and then when she starts saying who she fucked which one is a better story yeah but you I get it.

I agree with that. But that's two different arguments. Not from me. Name a name. Tell the truth. Say your story. Say what's happening. You waiting for one nigga.

It's one nigga that been playing with you behind the scenes, in records. Like, say it. It's one nigga that other people keep confusing with you for some strength. Like, it's only one. That's it. And if it ain't if i'm wrong then we don't care which is what i don't care which is why i don't care we don't care that's and that's why i don't care dope verse i don't think he like i said y'all are never getting

what you were talking about that face off it's never happening that that uh take over ether we're not getting it from somebody will have to really it's not happening respect the other one to make it happen so because we know it's not happening y'all can keep reaching through lines yo this line right here is about him even if it is guess what you're not gonna get nothing else but a mean a miniature sub back says you that you say that i say that i'm looking at history joe says i'm'm looking at history. Me too. Me too. And Joe says, only one person got to get mad

for this to happen. True. But then you have. Not a whole bunch. But I think you'll have to be personal to get somebody out their comfort zone.

And the one person that would need to get mad for it to happen has gotten mad before. Yeah. And he, that nigga's petty. He get mad quick. And when he he, that nigga's petty. He get mad quick.

And when he get mad quick enough, songs start dropping at 2, 3, 4 a.m. sometimes, directed toward people saying, yo, chill out, I'm busy. But you know what? That's happened before. He ain't get mad at him before. And he's had plenty of opportunities.

That's right. You better not get mad at him just so fast. You better practice some mad at them just so fast. You better practice some patience and grace. So instead of getting mad and dropping that record at 2, 3 in the morning, I'm going to send you

a little sub on this line like I've been doing. Depending on the mood. Hey, the same nigga told me Drake would never address Kanye directly. That was a thing. Y'all people in hip hop

going to act like it ain't. But that was a thing where y'all were saying man drake would never take a time and direct man a nigga dressed him quickly yo dog you anybody in good music big sean him you you all of y'all like this nigga starts they oh he's sweet oh next 10 songs Was mobbed ties Like what are y'all Talking about with him Leave me alone Leave me alone

I'm not talking about this You're not getting it You're not getting it You're not getting it You're not getting it We know That Georgia Smith shit Along with some other things

That I'll wait Till it plays out Yeah let's let it play out Y'all gonna have me Looking crazy But I know Just let it play out Just know

I be right on this shit Hey you ain't gotta believe me I know I've been it play out. Just know I be right on this shit. Hey, you ain't got to believe me. I know I've been nuts. I look nuts. You're crazy. I be right on the money with the beef shit. I do. That's your shit, though.

Maybe not this year. I don't think... Maybe not next year, but some year. It's coming. It's coming. I don't see it coming. I would love... Of all people...

It's going to be unquestionable who's going at who what the fuck they talk it's coming do you think him leaving TD might have something to do with that

I would love to be wrong about this about this in particular you said what parts him leaving TD might there might be

oh because they could control him a little bit or they could influence they could have influence in a situation. So you relax.

Yeah, they put the business first. They ain't got to do that. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I don't mean like control, but yeah. Because look at this. This is what I think. I think Drake's got to drop. He's dropping, right?

Right, yeah. At some point after that, Kendrick has to drop. True. Which means- Soon. Soon. Yeah, soon. Which means that Kendrick is now slotted

in the time span of Drake's I just put an album out a little while ago. I got some time to rap about whatever I want. That's where he's gonna fall into. And if he hears something he don't like on that album

and there's no tour and nothing going on, he just got some time, could. It just could. You might get a time. It just could. You might get a time track.

Yeah, yeah. I don't think Drake is scared of Kendrick. I don't think he's scared of Kendrick. But wait, listen to me. But this is where I go. This is, and I'm getting off of this,

but I think all, I think Drake is on a mission to dethrone all of the people that maybe at one point he was afraid of. Jay-Z, Kanye, I won't say me. He got me the fuck out of here. But I'm there in that circle. Who else? There's some other people on that list.

Push. Push. Push was on there. There's people that he would never address. He's got a list. He's got a list. Kendrick is at the top. He is the mistletoe, the star of the tree.

He's never going to be for Cole. No, that's not it. Ever. That ain't happening. So, yeah. And Cole and Kendrick ain't never beefing. Cole got albums coming out with both of these people. Yeah.

So, I... And if we're wrong, it's exciting to think about and have a blast with it. Yeah, I just be shooting the dreams down. Don't hold your breath on that one.

That's all I was saying. I don't see it happening. I would love to be wrong about it. I would love it. I would normally side with you, but I'm curious

about the TDE thing. I'm kind of curious to see how Kendrick moves without TDE, without punching them saying, no, you don't got to do that right now.

True, true. I'm curious to see how that goes. We might get to see the real Kendrick and see how. He might be a petty nigga. We don't know. He could be ready to go. They run a tight ship over there. They really do.

So I'm curious to see off the leash what that looks like. We'll find out. I want to know what a Kendrick diss track sounds like. A real one. Not control. Not control. Not subs. Not I'm better than all of you. I'm going in time and thought about you.

Yes. The great Kendrick Lamar thought about you, and this is what I've produced. This is what I think of you. I want to know what that sounds like from Kendrick Lamar do. I'm eager. I had that same feeling wanting to hear uh hear how lupe's diss track was sounding i fucking heard it

i got a couple people i wouldn't i wouldn't want to hear how they give it up a real diss track like who meek he's on my list didn't you hear a real diss track not but that was his real one. Okay. Never mind then. I bumped into Meek at the 44th. I think we had an intense conversation that I don't remember too. I talked about a lot of important shit that night with people. It's all a blur. Okay. I see you being mixy out there.

Yeah. I heard. You didn't hear I did hear I did hear nigga Saw some pictures I heard You just let it go What'd you hear

Oh man I'll tell you off What'd you hear I'ma tell you off That I was mixy Hey Come on man Look at the boy

This was a good night. A lot of people came out. Look at James Cruz. Look at Shine. All right. I feel like the people in there are people that you like and respect, as opposed to previous industry parties that you may have sat Indian style. No, same people, just different.

Well, that too. That's not true. people, just different. Well, that's true. That's not true. Don't do that. That's not true. Don't do that. There was a point in time when you wouldn't have conversed with me. There was a point in time you wouldn't have conversed with Jay. There was a point in time you wouldn't have conversed with these people.

You're talking to me. Yeah, but you told me when I was 27. I'm just saying there was a point in time when you would not have wanted to be in anybody's company. You stopped on the carpet and said something to the camera? I did not do the carpet. I skipped the carpet. I'm not here for a carpet. I'm still the same Joe.

You didn't want to do a twirl? No, I'm not. You didn't give him nothing? You didn't let him see the bag? You didn't let him see the bag? I'm not on Roc Nation. So there's no need for me to do that. Oh, nothing You didn't let him see the bag You didn't let him see the bag I'm not on Rock Nation So there's no need for me to do this Oh, so you weren't even invited on the carpet

Sign here, you can walk I know you could've No, you couldn't You could've walked I didn't want to do that I thought you would at least Let him see the bag, though No, I don't think

I left my bag in the car I was killing Joe all night He was like Oh, you funny now i don't see why y'all think these things are so funny this is hilarious to us because we know you yeah that nigga this was great when i'm winning is when i realized that hey i'm cooler with a lot more rock nation people than i thought like benny's a Roc Nation guy. Fab's a Roc Nation guy. Like I don't look at these people like Roc Nation people. But yeah, Belly's a Roc Nation

guy. Slow's just everywhere. Victor Cruz is... Like just people I like. Good guys. Then I take one picture and boy oh boy. Oh my God, my God, my God. I have to come in here and explain things and break things down.

Just say you love her. What the hell is wrong with the internet, man? Because you're too close. But that's not even that close. I'm just fucking with you. That's not close? First off, that is close. That is not close enough for somebody to say,

he was not social distancing. My thumb is not on her shoulder. It's not on her shoulder. Oh no, that's the right thumb. You want to come in and play. It's my birthday. I don't have time for it.

Listen, Snow was one of the few people that I saw that I took a picture with. Fam, you're a big, genuine, sincere fan of Snow. Right, and I don't know clout change. So I don't even see what the big deal is. Anybody that knows you knows you're a huge, huge, huge fan of Snow. She just happens to be uber attractive and they made something out of it. I have a different version.

Oh, shit. I would love to hear this. You agree with my version? I agree with you. That ain't my version at all. What's your version? I've been in this game for years. And you were an animal.

This made me an animal. Okay. This is what Joe thinks. So they looked at her like an antelope and you were out on the ground grazing. This is what I think. Yo, go ahead. I'm listening. I think that I saw

Snow Allegra. Had an amazing conversation about music. Pianos. Tyler, the creator on your album and why is he there so much? Honestly, tell me. That's what the conversation was? Yeah, that's probably how it started.

That's what I said. And then I walked away, but then I forgot to get a picture, so I walked back. Say, we need a picture. Let's do a picture. Yeah, because our last picture was horrible. There was a whole conversation about this picture. We take the picture. I walk off.

Everybody goes about their business. And I posted, like, what, two hours later or something like that? I don't know. It was, like, two hours later. What picture? The same conversation about this picture. We take the picture. I walk off. Everybody goes about their business. And I posted like, what, two hours later or something like that? I don't know. It was like two hours later. What picture? The same night. This picture. That picture.

I posed this while I was still in there. Fam, that's not the picture that you purposely took with this goddess. We took three pictures. Two of them looked horrible. And then we both approved this one. We liked this one. It was funny. She's funny.
