Have I even had ten fights? I have had ten fights Yeah, nigga But then he got there fast Two years? I ain't had ten fights in two years I haven't been here If you was locked up for two years, you'd have had 10 fights.

Not in PC? How I would have had 10 fights in PC? No, not in PC. I'd be the toughest nigga in PC. I'd be that. They don't let you fight in PC. I'm talking shit. I wouldn't be the toughest nigga,

but they don't let you fight in PC. And I automatically get put in PC. You'm talking shit. I wouldn't be the toughest nigga, but they don't let you fight in PC. And I automatically get put in PC. You have to request to not be put there when you're like famous. Because, well, you're making a face. Everything in the world today

I don't want to be fucking be li'all, I want a check-in? Everything in the world's about insurance and liability. I don't want to be fucking liable for myself.

What the hell is a joke, yo? Call pressure. Yeah, they can say, they're like, that nigga Joe by the pussy at PC. Hell, he word. Yo, he is. I agree.

Yeah, you right. Yeah, nah, they all the way right. Two fights in two years is nuts I don't think so in jail no not in jail I know but outside of jail or talking to anybody who has had ten fights in two years

that's not love you're violent I don't want to go to jail no it just depends on your lifestyle I try to be chill when you outside bro that's not even a lot. That's a fight every other month. Those niggas that fight once, twice a week. What the fuck is you talking about?

We ain't living. Like back in the day when we was kids? Niggas used to be. Well, yeah. No, not kids. I'm talking about 20-somethings. Younger. Yeah.

20-something. No, I understand that. What? I'm old now, man. All that shit that I used to do. Maybe I did, though. Maybe you just did what? I'm old now, man. I don't want to fight nobody, yo. All that shit that I used to do. Maybe I did though. Maybe I subscribed to all this shit at one point.

Today, that shit's fast. Today just sound good to listen to, to me. I ain't partaking in that shit. I get tired if I air box for too long. Like, what are we talking about? I be like, oh, my shoulder. Ooh, good thing my opponent wasn't there. We made this life what's ahead. And this life what's ahead.

And this life what's ahead. This life what's ahead. Oh wait, wait, no, we gotta take a moment for chill. Anytime he get to repeating something. No, I'm serious. So you know. This guy repeats the right lines. He does.

I know that sounds crazy. All right, whatever, I'm shut up. No. He repeat this shit that it's like he know I'm going to the fucking kitchen drawer to grab a knife to go outside and fucking stab. And he's, you better stab them right in the top. Y'all don't spill his juice on me, yo. Yo, don't tell me to stab them in the heart.

You better move. You better get away or I'll stab you in your little Drake logo. He ain't worried about it in his mind. He knew he ain't losing. He got a paid lawyer. That's a good lawyer. And that lawyer do know what he doing. They want to take it to trial.

So he taking the trial with that little nigga. I'm still not over in the cocaine cowboy Miami shit on Netflix. How the lawyer got the list of all the... That's what I'm talking about. I'm not over it. The lawyer got the list of all the witnesses

and published it to Vibe magazine, the jail magazine. Published that shit to the jail magazine and all the hood publications. And then they started dying. And the lawyers

were cool in that cool wait nothing happened to the lawyers no what happened was it was like 60 witnesses right and the dudes the biggest and they marked about 48 more than that yo no lie yes they may put the list out they put the list out like 40 something witnesses they put the list on the gel magazines and they put the list out. It was like 40-something witnesses. They put the list on the jail magazines, and they put the list in the street publications. And all of a sudden, the rats just started getting mopped up. Literally. Jesus.

It was a couple of failed attempts. And that's the niggas that came to court and put them niggas in jail. Yeah, those are the dudes that got mad. Yeah. See, and that's where the snitching shit gets tricky. All right. I need the gangsters to tell me how I'm supposed to go. Because that ain't me.

If you try to kill me and I see you and it don't work, I'm telling on you. No, no, it was him. Don't send someone that's better at killing than you to finish the job. I'm bringing them to your door. Huh? But I understand. You know what I'm bringing them to your door. Huh? But I understand. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, right there.

And I'm joking. I'm not. You're not. I'm not. I'm not. But what I mean is I do understand the other side. I understand that, nah, we're not telling cops nothing. We're going to fix it on our own.

That's funny. See, and when you start talking about that, you can't joke, so let's just play music. He didn't cop out to this damn lot. Call home and he found out his man died. He looked up to the sky like this. Oh, wait, see, now my man died that I did this for? I'm snitching on him.

They ain't gonna take that, then. They're not I know And I'm joking again Let me just play Fabio And that ain't why he was mad He not mad Cause this man

I can't slide Fabio mad That he can't slide And he mad That he got a big ass gun In his mouth That he can't use And he's saying all of this stuff

I Saw a dirt before him last night. I know My eyes always like me at all night place it I can't tell you I was taking my eyes off of that gentleman. So much of a great show that you couldn't take. You better not have took your eyes. You might have missed something. Dirk almost looked at me a couple times. that you couldn't take, you better not have took your eyes, you might have missed something. Real nigga, he done made a decision already and he sticking to it.

Dirk almost looked at me a couple times. I never looked at a wall so fast. Nah. Don't look at me while I'm performing, yo. Don't look at me period. Nah, don't lock eyes with me, nigga. I ain't the one to lock eyes with in here. Mad other people, go look over there, man.

I can't go to nothing now at 41. I'm telling you, I'm in that case. This nigga said I never looked at a wall. Oh my God. That's like, oh. Nice molding. High ceilings. Architecture.

And it's fucked up, but that nigga's beautiful. Yo, you stupid. It's like a trick. You gotta look at him. You got it, nigga. His hair is fucking great. His skin is great. Remind you what it's like how you looked when you was 27.

You know how they pulling up them old vids when we was talking that shit, and we just looked younger. Your skin, gravity do some shit to your face. So when you see the young people and how gravity ain't fucking with them, so you can see how they don't really give a fuck about gravity and time and the world. You might look. Nigga still eating McDonald's.

But you better not look. Nigga still eating McDonald's three times a week. It don't even matter. That nigga did his set. It was him and his hype man. It was all out the scene. Somehow when the set was over, it was 90 people that went in.

It's like, oh, that nigga's just ninjas. Where the hell were they at? Where were they even at? I would have watched all of them. Yeah. He's the control it. Ninjas Nothing got broke thank God Oh my god. Back. I'm good. How's New Wheels treating you, man? Hey. See you out there on the Instagram with the new cockpit pause.

You don't even have to pause it. Yeah, yeah. No, you ain't got to pause it. It's too expensive to pause. Leave it there. For real. Just leave it at there. It's cool.

Let it go. A lot of colors. Yeah. Same colors that I had in my old car. I should get like four iPhone Pros in it just to touch shit it's nice

it's a lot of different colors though a lot of iPads no it's nice you can watch porn on them shits I don't know cause I

haven't watched porn in a while yet no I don't really watch the porn I try to create them now I'm gonna

talk to him that's nice I'm joking the them now. Talk to him, King. That's nice. I'm joking. The rest of us have to subject ourselves to smut. Yeah. What smut have you subjected yourself to? I watched porn yesterday, man. I don't know what you're talking about.

I watched porn yesterday. Okay. Well, good. You never try to create one? No. I'm enjoying my vehicle. Good, good. I am. Handles nice, good gas mileage. I spent a lot of time in research and study, and I think I made the right decision.

I'm glad you got it. Like I told you before, you just kept waiting. Just get the damn car. No, I did what I normally do. I took care of everyone first and got to me last. Okay. I didn't say nothing. Now,

it's changed my music listening experience. I'll segue us into a music talk somehow. Better speakers in there? Yeah. That shit sounds like a music cabin.

Actually, I think that's what it is. Fam, this shit got subwoofers on your back. I was driving and I felt the beat. They put like a sub in the seat. That's smart. That's wealth. I've been trying to figure out how to get that for years. I mean years.

Ever since, you know how niggas used to buy the truck or buy whatever. We used to have to go put the 12s and the 18s. You got to put the subs in there. There had to be a different way to do that without losing your whole trunk. They put it in the seat. Smart. In every seat. That's smart.

And it's tweenies tweeners tweener speaker tweeter speakers there's a main speaker like it's just a lot of speakers now like they said the new escalator has like 18 or 19 speakers 22 or something yeah versus the old one which was like six or seven i guess moving forward they're just going to start putting more speakers in some of these cars which makes sense if you're paying that type of money for a car, that was always my problem with the G-Wagon. Me and Ish always fought about it. And look how luxurious you have us starting this podcast.

Who? I don't start this podcast with this. Yo, this nigga blamed me on that. I said, how was your wheels? I think it was me. Pardon me for ratting, but I didn't say none of that. Yo, you heard what Fabio said about snitches right I don't know

I don't typically start with this type of opulence I know I didn't do it anyway I didn't say one question but you're right though if you spend a lot of money

on a car I didn't say nothing let me tell you parts real quick before we leave this while we're on it I want the audience to know that Mercedes is charging

$100,000 over the sticker for the G-Wagon over the sticker for the G-Wagon. Indeed. The sticker on the G-Wagon is like $1.80, something like that. Not even, depending on which one you're getting. Hey, let's say I'm 20 off of $1.60, so that's $2.60, and it's not $2.60, because homeboy told me $2.80. Ah.

$2.80, like $2.90, close to three. And then you get 10 miles a gallon, so you're going to spend a fucking billion dollars on gas a year. You could care less about gas when you got that much space. You're right. They'll get five miles. I don't have that. You want one though. I know.

I like that. I like that. I want one. But anyway, this is what it's doing to my music listening experience. As if this wasn't the case before, the engineer has always been the most important guy. And in the years, recent years, the engineer has become more and more and more and more and more important. Like I'm talking about the people that maybe didn't know. Sound now moving forward is all only on the engineer like and i'm talking about all the

good engineers all y'all are good but these speakers now we get to separate y'all honestly it's like yes yes yes because fans don't know you know we joke around about luxury ears and luxury eyes and all that shit. Let me tell you. So we in the car. And I think Corey said for you to play some record. Yeah, we testing. We was testing.

And I was like, fuck that. Put Jail on by Kanye. And the second. Sound like the fucking piano. Everybody in the car was like. The guitarist was in the car. Everybody in the car was like. Sound like he was doing it live.

Yeah, the guitarist was in the car. Oh, shit. He was doing it live. Like anything you were supposed to hear that maybe you didn't hear. Even some of the older songs I'm going back to, not just Kanye, but just songs that have come out recently. I'm playing some of those. These engineers is getting freaky with what they're doing out there. So much so that if you don't have one of those you're the final result of your music

is affected absolutely i can imagine and we can tell now i guess that's the point i'm driving home this sounds stupid because i'm saying this in front of parks who's an engineer who's probably been saying this forever yeah i'm trying to talk from the consumer remember when the fans started figuring out when sound scan dropped and spins and first week and all that bullshit this is what's about to happen with all of these sounds well you know what's funny when when uh beats headphones first launched that was their tagline you're not hearing all the music that's what he used to say on all the boxes that was the that was their selling point like yo get these headphones you can hear it the way the engineers intended for you to hear every symbol every cow and even though and even that compared to what you could hear now is different but it

was just like a step up like now we get into once you start talking that lossless and all this other shit that's going on with the music bro you could hear some shit that i even know it was other elements in the song there's backgrounds and songs that i missed. There are harmonies in songs that I've missed. There were chord progressions that were just muffled. I joked on the way here and Escalade like, yo, man, this shit is too muffled for my ears. And the whole car laughed. But it kind of sounds, doesn't sound like a sound cabin.

So you can only listen to certain things in the my box. That's how you know when shit is ill, because there's a different term for it than when you was broke. Like I remember Drake posted some shit. Yeah, sound cabin. That's what they call it. Hey, my cousin and some of my Tesla people, they tell me that when you go to Tesla to buy a Tesla and you talking to them about buying it and you get in the car, test drive. The first thing they say is, this ain't a car.

This is a piece of tech. Okay. Hey, Drake posted some shit one day when homeboy finished building his house. I forgot dude's name. Shout out to him.

I followed him for a long time. So I was watching the house get built. So when Drake finally posted a picture of the living room, I was proud him so i hit him oh man that is a fucking immaculate living room and he said living room living room yeah they can touch the vestibule sir he said this is the great room the great that's what they call it. Way dog.

The great room. Way dog. Y'all know it is great, but oh, all right, I'm going to just leave. Yeah. Unfollow. Unfollow. I'm just not. I'm not talking to you.

Ain't nothing to say back to you. I'm not even talking to you. Ain't nothing to say back to you. Yeah, that's true. You got it. Yeah, I'm poor. Yeah. The great room.

It's the great room. Don't ever disrespect my house again. I want a great room. I feel you. You need about... How many square feet? Your shit big, but... Yeah, you're going to need about...

No, that's not it. You need about 3,000. I got a high room. 3,000 square feet? I got a good room. It ain't great yet. Wait, wait, wait. You say 3,000 square feet for the room?

No, he need about 3,000 square feet. More square feet. More in the... How many square feet do you think a great room has to be? No. For your house 3,000 square feet. More square feet. More in the bowl. How many square feet do you think a great room has to be? No. For a house to have a great house. Yeah, you got to tell us.

It's finally. No, I'm not saying it. It's not a requirement. I'm just saying. I think it's a requirement. But for your shit to be considered the great room as opposed to the living room?

Right. You got to have like an 8,000 square foot house. How big do you think the living room, the great room has to be? So wait, is there still a living room

and a great room? Yeah. Or is it now the living room is so big it's not the living room is? The great room has to be. So wait, is there still a living room and a great room? Yeah. Some houses. Or is it now the living room is so big, it's not the living room no more. It's the great room. Yo, we are so poor. Some of these houses, they have it. I'm trying to learn how to be less poor.

That's why I don't like when Ish come on in and compliment my little hoodies and shit. Because this nigga's out there with great rooms. Building a great room. He's building a great room. It's relative, though. No, but I want them to think I have a great room, too. You just got great last night I'm at the

I'm at the bar early for the res white guy older let's say late 50s early 60s getting hammered

he's getting hammered I'm sitting here looking for fucking appetizers and shit he's tapping me hey what you think about ordering but he's got business suit on

and he's clearly hammered but he's a friendly hammer he's not threatening a little appetizer or something hey what you

sipping on over there tells me and now I can see him watching me out the corner of his eye like and now here comes the party i was waiting for right they all looking good it's fashion week it's women it's gay

I don't even know what that is. I don't know what none of that is. What's Moxie, though? I don't know what SoCal is.

It's like swag, I think. Swagger. Well, SoCal is what Ish just said to you earlier. SoCal is SoCal. SoCal is SoCal. So when a white old man tell you it, you internalize it. I'm not even in there. What's in Southern California?

SoCal. Los Angeles. LA, nigga. I do not give LA. I'd have punched him in the face if he said that. You just said Diego. Oh, no. If I knew what that meant last night, I'd fuck him.

So it was cool. Dirk performed. The clothes were cool. And there was a lot of cool people there. It was rather quick. It was probably only about 40 minutes altogether. But it was a really good time. I saw a lot of people I haven't seen in a while.

Did you go to more Fashion Week events afterwards? I didn't even know it was Fashion Week until I was invited to this thing. I never know, but no, I didn't go anywhere else. Parks. Smarty pants. It wasn't sassy. Don't try to make it sound. No, that was sassy.

Nah. Don't try to make it sound like I was rendezvousing. I mean, you might as well. You're already out there. Galavanting around town. You're already out there. You might as well hit a couple. I've been outside too much yeah i've been outside a lot for like at least three weeks now going crazy

and i'm gonna be outside again all weekend all weekend long i'm probably gonna be outside until it stops being nice enough to be outside i don't blame blame you. Damn. That's New York. You know it's that late September, early October stretch. This is New York. This is New York time. It's the fall fling. I fuck with fall. I love the fall. This is New York time.

I seen a lot of people pop out last night without their significant other. One new, magically, fashion week, September, left our boyfriends and girlfriends at home. A lot of beautiful people there, though. Shout out to Pretty Little Things. Shout out to everybody I saw. But it was fly. It was fly. All right, come on.

Let's start with some music. Who's heard? We're not reviewing music. No. Because music just came out. Some good shit dropped, though. A lot dropped. I'm an AZ guy.

You just got to kind of search for it. Yo, let him get this off. No, no, no, no. Let him get this tape off. Yo, you an asshole. You said, yo, what's out? Iso. Iso. AZ guy. You just got to kind of search for it. Yo, you've been, yo, let him get this off. No, no, no, no, no. Let him get this tape off. Yo, you're an asshole. You said, yo, what's out? Iso. Iso.

Iso. AZ shit is nice. Ish Iso right now. I don't have, I don't know how to dribble. Come on. I don't know how to dribble, nigga. I heard the nigga album was out.

I didn't hear the album. I didn't hear the album. I've been dying to tell nobody about nothing. Stop exaggerating. Nigga, I said the AZ album out. He said, what dropped? All right, so. Why you looking at Iso, nigga? I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to tell nobody about nothing. Stop exaggerating. Nigga, I said the AZ album out. He said, what dropped? All right, so. Why you looking at ice?

Because I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. Dumb ass nigga. Look over here. I want to ask a question, though. Nah, I don't want to answer you. Can I ask a question? I don't want to answer you.

I can't ask a question. No. I'm going to ask it anyway. So we got in the car on the way over here. And I say, yo, Joe, it's quiet in here. Turn something off. No music. What was the first response we heard after that? yo, Joe, it's quiet in here. Turn something on. No music. What was the first response

we heard after that? After I said, it's quiet in here. I said, yo, I heard AZ got an album. Play that. Play that.

How'd it sound? We didn't play it. We started playing the Jersey set. But don't act like I was just snarling. No, no, no.

I'm here to talk about the AZ album. I played full circle off Noshit, which led me to Redman, which led me to my jersey set. All right, so you haven't heard the album, so we can't talk about it.

I liked it. It's solid. I don't have no... You said, yo, we're not reviewing music. It's Friday. What dropped? I said AZ.

He got nice beats on there. He's got Buck. He's got Alchemist. He's got... Bink did a couple. It's a nice project. It's really nice. Baby Paul from Beat Miners, formerly of the Beat Miners, is on there. He's got Alchemist. He's got, Bink did a couple. It's a nice project. It's written by Baby Paul from the Beat Miners,

formerly of the Beat Miners is on there. It's nice. All right, let's start from oldest to youngest. Oldest album? No,

oldest rapper to youngest rapper. Let's do that. All right, AZ, who's next? Let's go that way. Let's go in reverse

of the way hip hop goes. Sky's a nut ball. I'm not reviewing no music because I haven't heard any music I'm going to tell you Baby Keem Drop I haven't heard it Baby Keem Drop that shit is nice I listened to

maybe the first five six songs and while listening I saw oh shit there's a new Fabio record that was it for me yeah that's exactly how it went I'm starting to wonder why y'all keep dropping new Fabio record. That was it for me. Yeah. That's exactly how it went.

I'm starting to wonder why y'all keep dropping with Fabio. That's what I'm about to start coming in asking. I came in, I was like, yo, who heard Fabio over the drag on beat? Down Bottom. He was like, whatever. But if he is this new new improved version of Fabio over that drag on beat I'm going to collect some rocks

I'm throwing rocks at everybody I don't know what's gotten into this guy since he came home give me a slingshot a dart a Chinese star he's bugging bugging like I don't know what it is and I went back to his old projects and said, maybe I missed something.

Maybe he been doing this. So I have all the old mixtapes. It wasn't this. Like, he's snapping on everything he does. He is. Yeah, no, he really is. I'm ready to hear a project now. It must be one coming soon, right?

Gotta be. Yeah. Gotta be. Because he is spazzing out on anything he's on. I gave a quick run through to the Yeba project I did. How was it? Fire. Yeah.

Fire. I'm not surprised. I'm mad I have to work today. Because I would probably be listening to the Yeba project. I would have thought that she would have got more press off it, being that she was just on the Drake album with her own song. All right, well, here I am to tell the audience,

everybody that's recently appeared on a song with Drake has music coming. That's the plan. Yeah. Here we go, Tim's. Tim's dropped. Everybody dropped.

Everybody dropped. Why wouldn't you? You should drop. Yeah, I'm going to say that. Hell yeah, I'm going to drop. Yeah. I'm going to drop. Absolutely.

I'm going to find something in this hard drive, even if I don't got something ready. Exactly. We're going to put something out. Put something together. Makes sense. Yeah. You're going to capitalize off that. You'd be stupid not to.

Yeah. Absolutely. Oh, wait, no. See, sometimes you find the oldie but goodie that you missed out on. And this is probably why I ain't hear a lot of this shit yet either I found hey when I be late to some shit I don't know if I'm late I don't know if I'm early but this young lady here right I want to say her name is Marie Dahlstrom yeah Marie Dahl. She's not from over here. Yeah, she's from another country.

Somebody put something in the comments. Listen, man. She get your props. Start off with a nice piano. I just walk with props. Happy to be home with props. I need to sub in my headphones. Hold up. I'm about to turn his headphones up.

I'm about to turn his headphones up. Hold up, man. They don't understand me just yet Oh, no Listen, don't let the vibe Listen, man Hey No, we're gonna appreciate this later, Varks Not yet, me and you

I don't know if I'm early Brand new old music And, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Actually, I'm late This is a 2020 drop, right? But check this out If I'm late, that is a failure to music lovers It's y'all fault

If I'm late, that means that when it drop Y'all didn't do enough talking It didn't pass the right people's fucking uh frequency threshold yeah yeah so if i'm late i put that on y'all when i find it what's the first thing i do i come share right pump it up i give it right up so if y'all got some heat and i appreciate my few followers that do this like it's a music file it might have been a follower to put me on here but it's a few of y'all to do it and a few of y'all that don't if you have heard if you heard something like this you're supposed to tell me that that's how i feel okay i'm gonna skip this second verse and get right to the end hold up

oh my god yo when they realize when they finish with the song and still leave two minutes to just do unorthodox shit like this. Oh, come on, man. The song is called Home With You, by the way. Oh, wow. Hey. Nah, they lucky. They lucky I be alone at night They lucky I be alone

Oh no Alright Look at that Yeah, now I'm turning that off I'm turning that off They bugging They bugging too much on there. So, yeah, I ain't really been listening to too much.

Sucker for the talk box. It always works. It never not works. You got to be real bad to fail at the talk box. Well, it's hard to do. You got to be nice to do that shit. I know. You got to be nice to do it.

Imagine hearing the talk box on that in the sound cabin. You know, it's real. What else is going on out here? What else is happening? I didn't hear Ari Lennox shit yet. Eric Bellinger dropped. Didn't hear his shit yet. Didn't hear Baby King.

Didn't hear this. I ain't heard shit. I ain't heard nothing. Common dropped the album. You went crazy on the freestyle shit. Oh my God, the Common freestyle. You went crazy on the freestyle. Somebody find the Tiffany Haddish freestyle. She's promoting it, that's what I mean. I don't hate on that. I like that.

I liked when Kanye and Kim did it. I like when couples do that. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I'm not trying to be funny. I got it. You get more life on this shit. He put it out. Shit went crazy.

The rap fans did what they had to do with it. And then the next day, two days later, she tweeted. That's hard. Give me some life out on this shit he put it out shit went crazy that the rap fans uh did what they had to do with it and then the next day two days later she tweeted that's hard give me some life out of this shit and he definitely bugged out see that's the stuff ice won't let me just come back and do real quick correct why i can't just come back step out flame niggas up give right back to pod i wouldn't be mad at that actually i would freestyle sounds beautiful freestyle no we see but then i would be mad because if you if would Freestyle? Freestyle? Nah we good See but then I would be mad Cause if you could do

100 bars for a freestyle Then you could put 100 bars Over an original beat And make some money Well yeah Um But there's It's different

There's sport And there's There's Trying to make some money Like I think just doing it For the fun Is kind of fly You don't need the money

That's the fly part Yeah That is the fly part no stress no pressure you ain't got it yeah man stop trying to guess i'm gonna just come out and bop and you the competition like yo oh no that's me i'm not even in competition no that's the good part i ain't competition with these niggas i'm the one that's best in the world um come on let's play this you think everybody know? speak into existence I'm rooted in black thoughts like Tariq I was a drifter now I'm a shifter of paradigms a uplifter of tethered minds forever signed to the art form no things didn't start warm wrinkles in time till I met my Tony

Starks form and straighten it out Iron Man while some was working on pots and frying pans some of my guys knew keys like Robert Glasper they gave me room so I could be a master my book of life I write it like the Christ chapter. When hip-hop was dead, I met it in the life after. Vision in the hereafter. Listening to Donnie Hathor. Trying to find a way to get my people out the trap for the prisons. Talking with my daughter, I learned to listen.

She's studying law. I told her, make firm decisions. Yeah, man. I like to hear that from Kyle. Why are you looking at me like that? Yeah, he went crazy crazy that's not even the best part of the freestyle

not at all this was just the first time in the freestyle when I was listening that I had to stop it yeah he started doing

the Will Smith all the movie titles in the rhyme without even like emphasizing it that shit was crazy but he went crazy on

there man it's nice it's nice hearing like people that can really, really rap. Really, really rap. Yo, why we on that? And Common's a little bit underappreciated. Do you believe that your taste can change?

Yeah, absolutely. Y'all done bumped me into some shit. Y'all got my brain going. 1,000%. Right? Good, let's go. Common, when he does this, and not just him, but just, again, i say it a lot some

of the older gentlemen in hip-hop when they start rhyming about just wherever their brain is today yeah i'm like a really really really really big fan of that right but because it doesn't happen so much when i'm listening to music as as big of a lyricist guy as I am, I'm really listening to music now. And that, so I laugh at, when I think to myself about how I listen to music in my 20s versus how I listen to it now. It's just funny. It's interesting. In what regard? Well, like I just said, in my 20s, I was all about what you were saying.

All about. in my 20s I was all about what you were saying all about as I aged I'm really 90% instrumentation the musician how does your voice sound on the music that's why the flow guys get me yeah because I don't care what you're saying if you can make your instrument sound great with the other instrument then I'ma just vibe yeah and then I find out I'll bump into, oh shit, you actually are saying something at the same time. I love it. See, for me, I'm going to hone in on what you're saying immediately.

Some beats are just undeniable beats. I'm going to hone in on what you're saying. When you start saying some shit, my face is going to screw up. I'm going gonna be like. I need a little bit of both. And Common's actually a good example of this. His last two albums,

Kareem Riggins produced it and not to minimize what he's done in music because he's done a lot, but he was kind of a J.E. Dilla disciple. And the music on the last two albums is phenomenal. And Common's a great rapper, always. But he doesn't sound quite as inspired so it doesn't grab me. But musically,

it's a beautiful thing to listen to. But he's just, it doesn't, you know, it's missing like a little bit of edge to it or something. You know what I'm saying? But it sounds beautiful. It's beautiful music

and they're good albums. They're just not something I'm going back to because the words ain't quite hitting the way that I need them to. Yeah, like just, what's your favorite part

of a song today? You ever ask yourself that? Music always for me. Like when you just cut that on. What parts? The music. It's living proof. The music, my nigga.

The music, but at which part in the song what you mean the verse probably yeah yeah yeah i don't care about the yeah i'm not a hook i don't hook don't really matter that much but for me because i i catch flack all the time for the shit that i listen to but it's not really the topic that they talk about is more so I feel it. Like I like music that just make me feel whatever you feeling. So if you feeling like you got a beef with somebody, but you can really kind of like, yeah, you could put me in there.

Yeah, I feel you. I like it. I feel you. If you, you know, whatever you dealing with, I just like that. I like authenticity. I like to feel, even if you not really, there's some people that wasn't lying. Yeah.

But if you could make me believe that you're not lying and it sounds good enough to me, I if you're not really, there's some people that wasn't lying. But if you could make me believe that you're not lying and it sounds good enough to me, I'm going to like the song. I think the end of a song is my favorite part of a song because it tells me a lot, right? I'm not about to sound like a music geek weirdo so just hear me out the end of the song well that's when I start trying to make music in 90 something right and when they was isolating shit was like taboo almost I used to say the dub beat hey man whatever that sound is I just want to hear that and then change it to that and then do that you know all that freaky shit that they do now in music the progressions during song that was normally just just for the end of the song because in the verse you were confined to whatever the verse part was and the hook

the producer i made this is here for the hook if you want to get freaky they do the pre-hook and the bridge of a song is beautiful too but at the end of the song, right? Ain't a lot of bridges in hip hop. The end of the song tells me, it's like when SZA leaves three minutes of just beat at the end of her single. It tells me she don't give a fuck. Right. She don't give a fuck about the radio, the time restraint, the construct, how y'all are doing things. This music is beautiful.

I'm going to isolate this sound for two minutes because I can. It's still part of the artistry the job ain't done when the vocalist is done vocally right like it's still the vocalist job I think to end your song so how you gonna end it and that puts me in the mind of the artist so when it just cut off all right that's cool but it didn't give me I feel you all of this beautiful instrumentation and shit and some of these R&B I'm not y all right, that's cool, but it didn't give me all of this beautiful instrumentation and shit. And some of these R&B, y'all not even putting bridges on the songs no more, you lazy sacks of shit. Y'all are lazy sacks of shit.

There's no bridges on the song. There's no bridges on almost everything, though. Bring back bridges. I missed the bridge. A little key change, some type of change right there. Yeah, yeah. All right, I was off on a tangent. No, it was good. Yeah, I get it though oh that's why I paused it I'm having to

talk with my daughter about a lot she She's studying to be a lawyer. I told her make firm decisions. Damn. He still got it. That's a simple genius line. Yeah. Grew up around stones and they rock me to wisdom. They yell.

Oh, wait. Before you say it, before you even say it, I got to congratulate him. It's been, when did Reasonable Doubt come out? 96. 96. 96. Minus. got to congratulate him it's been when the reason would that come out 96 96 minus two thousand come on it's 2021 how many years it's been how many years no how many years it's been 25 it's been 20 no help fucking mathematician i don't even know what this nigga it's been 25 years rappers myself included we've had ample amount of time to come up with the next dope bare arms line and nobody did it nobody did it come on we can say it we can talk about it

none of us did it since nigga pleasega, please, like short sleeves. I was like, oh! And in 25 years, who else has done it? Besides fucking Carmen. Justin Fields? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't hear you.

I didn't hear you. Oh, he about to say it. This nigga's crazy. It's well and it got me to wishing to pop the ambition. I'm keeping my head up. I am a rider from the black pool of genius. And I'm a diver, strapper of perfection inside of my inflections. The blessings of the destiny resting with no questions.

These are the strides of a knocker. Took time to myself like Naomi Osaka. Took time off that never rhymes off. My mind's off the grid that I climbed off. I'm live till I sign off. My man Murray said never take your shine off off Sometimes I go offline to get these lines off My crown shockers like a Chi-town opera Violence, violence, they broke in my crib And saved Oscars, Emmys, Grammys Damn near an EGOT

This is This is ishish Yeah Niggas can't do that fam No Not many Not many A lot of niggas can't do that

Not many That nigga lost his fucking mind For eight minutes Yeah I like the trend Of old shit Being the new shit I do I do Like trend of old shit being the new shit. I do.

I do. Like, all them old songs that they... Like, I was talking to my son. I said, son, Trey, how did you like Drake's album? I know you was waiting for it. And he said, he said whatever he said, but he said, I just don't know what was going on in his mind when he did I'm Too Sexy it's not my shit

I'm hearing it everywhere I know it's a single and it's working but I don't know what was on his mind and I said yeah but that song has always worked

and then I caught myself and I said you weren't born you don't know that that song always works and then I said holy shit

they're taking the songs and redoing them for these people that don't know this song i'm too sexy is 94 93 somewhere around there my baby was born no really earlier in 94 i think nah no i'm too sexy it was like 92 maybe yeah anyway I'm too sexy. I think that shit was like 92. Maybe. I'm Too Sexy was out when Snow and Shades were out. Yeah, absolutely. So it might have been 91, 92. He's right. But yeah, it just dawned on me.

Like, that's craziness. Yo, why don't you say that to me? You can't watch this. We have work to do. Now I forgot what the fuck I was talking about Rewind and shit no you said that

you were talking to Trey and he didn't know that I'm Too Sexy came from oh just old shit just old shit coming back in like the old samples

the old songs cool it's old movies that keep popping up on all of these new streaming places as they fight for rights to these films

yeah it's 91 the older rappers like the way that we reacted to that Andre 3 popping up on all of these new streaming places as they fight for rights to these films. Yeah, it's 91. The older rappers, like the way that we reacted to that Andre 3 stacks verse and shout out to Kanye. I did hear the original version of that. I like this original verse better than the version. Is there another verse that coming up? Or leaked or whatever? Whatever got leaked is the second

version for his verse. At the very, very, very first listening session, he played that's not without, not with the three stacks verse, but he played that song with his verse. It was a totally different verse. And his verse was different, and I might have liked it a little better. No shit. Was it more like about,

was it more on subject with what Andre was saying, or? No. No? Just a better verse, though. Yeah. No. See, and that's why content in a verse, but we're just going to geek this whole thing out. Fuck it. That's why content in the verse and but we're just gonna geek this whole thing out fuck it that's why content in a verse is important because kanye y'all was right i listened back to the pod y'all was right kanye's he took off he took off a little bit short flight but he did take off but it wasn't nothing he could say after what was said he could have rhymed anything

anywhere you could put you could have put the rhyming words and gone crazy but after what 3k said it's hard to follow that up very hard yeah you gotta just know you gotta take the l it's fine the old the older okay take the l like it's nothing wrong with in fact before you hit send on that email you know what l is coming back your way exactly some l's you want to take absolutely that's what i'm saying like there's no shame in these L's. Who else watching surf? Surf was talking to Jon Jon, and Jon Jon was trying to shame him. Surf was like, yo, I won Mad Battles.

I won this. I won Room Shakers, I won Classics. And Jon Jon was like, he said, you lost to Lux. And Surf said, that's Lux. It worked. Like, what are you talking about? Everybody's losing. Don't even talk to me about Lux no more.

Like, understandably slow understandably so who I went to the radio with that tore my ass up learned me a good lesson Sean P there it is Sean P

it's okay it's more than it is more than you welcome that L yeah hell yeah there's nothing wrong with it that's something that like what the fuck do you think that's something that you tell's nothing wrong with it that's something like what the fuck do you think that's something that you tell your grandkids especially if it's for you

really if you really about hip-hop like you want to say that you rhymed with these kill me these people and the people that's supposed to kill you if you're a little young pup you're supposed to get killed sean p when i went to the radio station was supposed to kill me let me take it off me for a minute because i saw a few of these fans out there saying joe button you're going crazy if you think andre three stacks is the second best rapper alive today you discrediting nas whoa yo yo yo whoa wait time out that's been pissing me off too me too because i i didn't intentionally not bring up nas that was not the conversation even if there's a bunch of people that retweeted my shit, and it's like, you're missing the point of what I'm saying.

They add whatever they want. I'm not comparing anybody. I'm not ranking anybody. I'm just highlighting what Andre is fucking amazing at that no one else does. That's all. Yeah, they said, uh. Well, I'm going to push back at you niggas.

Fuck y'all, right? I said what I said. But when I said it, I'm not talking about the all-time list i don't have three stacks higher than nas on any all-time list but if we walk in a bar today and have to rap i'm taking 3k today today i'm saying that as an educated listener of music i hear the nods albums he's still better than 98 of us 3k is in that two percent today it's about timing and shit it's timing it's just timing some people could do it that for just a long time some people don't really give a fuck but see that's that's but i

like that from nas because i much rather hear about the ipo hopping today that's why and that's back to my what i like about the older rapper don't you gave me o'matic yeah now tell me about the different ipos rick ross the other day posted his 50 these are my 50 investments i that's what i like let me shut up y'all talk no I'm just saying that's where I disagree when I hear you say yeah Nas you've done this this this this and this

and you're still doing it when Andre 3000 drops a verse here and there and yes they are amazing verses but I'm doing this consistently

whole albums of it for years you give a verse Nas is higher on my list in three stacks I'm just saying bro the argument you're saying supports why Nas is higher on my list in three stacks. I'm just saying, bro. The argument you're saying supports why Nas is

higher on my list in three stacks. What you started to say sounded like you were... No, because the conversation I be trying to have is one that fans can't have. If two men walk in a bar and fight, one walks out. I don't care who you beat up when you was tough. Today, what happens?

And three stacks... Sorry. Sorry sorry and i'm saying that about goat niggas this is only a goat conversation which is why i should shut the fuck up let me shut up but my shit again for me in my conversation and argument i'm not trying to compare or rank anybody i'm just andre does a thing that no one else can do or chooses to do and it's fucking amazing and beautiful and that's it that's it yeah that's it why do we have to compare things in here right because we always want to have a I was just using other rappers we don't have to do that descriptive points everybody can be great yeah you can't give a one nigga a compliment without all your distress like to somebody else or you can't give a nigga criticism

people have joy and I hate her People have no idea what disrespect means. Yeah, they don't. They don't. Have somebody tell us, yo, why y'all letting Joe disrespect y'all like that because he's interrupting you. I said, do you know Joe?

No, nigga. Have you ever had a conversation passionate with your peers? Right. With anybody. With anybody. Yeah, it happens. Like, people don't know

what disrespect is. I don't even know whenever you interrupt him like that, but I guess I do. It's fine. We talk. We talk. Like, it happens. Like, people don't know what this is. I don't even know and I be interrupting like that, but I guess I do. It's fine. We talk. We talk. When you talk this fucking much. Some interruptions is gonna happen. Yeah. Again, about

passionate shit. Right. Especially when it's something everybody's passionate about. What the fuck you talking about? Oh, pardon me. Pardon me, didn't clean it up. Save on. Yo, nigga said, yo, you got to get a t-shirt that says, save on, going across. Sure enough.

Sure enough. Safety blanket. Okay, so while we're on the topic of just talking for a living. Where do those rumors come from? And what's the truth with the departure of Max Kellerman from First Take? Well, the room was accurate in terms of me wanting them off the show. Let's get that out the way But it didn't seem like you and max had a bad relationship at all So where does though where do those rumors come from? And what's the truth with the departure of max Kellerman from first take? seem like you and Max had a bad relationship at all. So where do those rumors come from?

And what's the truth with the departure of Max Kellerman from First Take? Well, the rumor's accurate in terms of me wanting him off the show. Let's get that out the way. Let's get that out the way. Yes, I did. You know, we don't have a bad relationship. I think he's a real good guy. I appreciate what he did for the show.

We were number one for five years uh we stayed number one and i appreciate that steven uh but what a lot of people don't realize is that the work that goes into doing the show uh every single day and the reality is is that the reality we have 15 segments a day oh let's do math 75 segments a week times what um come on time something over 3 000 takes a year oh yeah in the nine years that i've been on times nine given over times nine three thousand yes and what a lot of people don't realize is they don't realize the work that goes into that but also the fact that it's a chemistry that you have and sometimes it just stalls and the audience lets you know that it is what it is and you feel the need for something fresh you feel the need to retool and the reason why i'm

unapologetic about my position is that number one is no not niggas personally his professionalism his work ethic and all of that show us his talent uh. It's not like I wanted the guy to be fired or anything like that. I knew that there were landing spots for him available at this network that would generate just as much revenue for him and all of that. He had a bunch of meetings trying to fire him. It wasn't really about asking him to be off the show. It was about the fact that i knew that we together he had to get off the show as far as i was concerned he's not a great if i was there

and that was something that needed to change and we covered the world of sports and this is where i maybe i stand on an island all by myself you gotta catch these but i'm absolutely that people would react the way that they do in terms of stuff like this because we covered the world of sports excuse me the point he was about to get into it was that they covered a world of sports where when there's a chemistry issue yeah or it's not working out or you need to freshen things up it happens and nobody skips a beat right and they're in the sports uh sports analyzing world and there's a lot of heat on this and you can tell just from how he delivered that uh he has a lot a lot on his mind he just went for like two

minutes straight in detail about what's what yeah let me start with responding to a lot of criticisms let me start with the rumor's true. Let's put that out there now. But then what in the detail about why it's true and when it's true and where it's true? What he articulated and conveyed made mad sense. And nothing personal. I don't wish him ill. I hope he, and he said, yo, I knew he had mad spots that he could land in this network.

If not this network, another network. It's just we weren't meshing anymore. There's nothing wrong with that. There's mad shit wrong with that. Is that what you said? You serious? No. Oh, I was about to say, huh? Nah, there's nothing wrong with that. It's like breaking up with a girl. Like, yo, I hope... There's nothing

wrong with that, but only because I think there's mad shit wrong in it. That's what I'm trying to say. Like, I agree with everything he said, too, of course. But? But in his discomfort things were wrong so he's not what he did i don't i don't know because he's too eloquent like they won't they won't tell us we don't know but he is saying yo max is great our chemistry today we're were from me. So when he says that, it makes it a point to say it lets me know

that Max don't feel this way. He's saying from where I sit, this ain't working no more. And everybody knows that this is Steve's show. So I don't really know how he could have avoided the rumors are true.

We know the rumors are true. The rumors are true. And I think he did a real professional job. I like how he handled it. And I love what he said. He didn't slip the jab. He said, no. The rumors are true. And I think he did a real professional job. I like how he handled it and I love what he said. He didn't slip the jab. He said,

nah, he went at it. He went at it and we'll never hear the real reasoning behind this stuff because Max will never say he's got another show.

It also could be kind of nothing. You know what I mean? It could just be what he said. Our chemistry just hit a wall. It's possible.

Or Max climbed up the ladder. That too. You know what I'm saying? You outgrew your B position. Yeah. That's possible. He might have been in need or in want of his own show. I wonder if there were numbers to support his chemistry argument.

Like if the numbers dipped or something? Yeah. Because he was saying, he said, Like if the numbers dipped or something? Yeah. Because he was saying, he said, hey, the fans let us know when we in the business, when it's off. He did say that. If the fans let you know, do you mean by the engagement or do you mean by- Views. Yes.

I mean, you tell us, buddy. That's an important distinction. No. It's- Very much so. It's one that we'll never find out. Yeah. Because the numbers might not have supported what he was saying.

Right. And that would say he went in there and put his foot down. His person. Because if the numbers don't say it, the network not looking to make any changes. Because this is what I didn't like. This is what I didn't like. And I love Steve and A. any changes. Because this is what I didn't like.

This is what I didn't like. And I love Steven A. The Monday that it aired with that first take aired with Michael Irving. It was, I think all two hours were Dallas Cowboy topics. It's always Dallas Cowboy topics for half of the show. This one, the whole

show mostly felt like it. It feels like that to me. It has for years. To the point where it's frustrating. For me, no. They put Dallas in all of their lead-off spots where they need to continue to have the high numbers to show the advertisers.

The first take to me has been Dallas, Lakers, and Patriots for the past three years. Not even the Yankees that much. All of these people with the fan bases that get them, they rely on what they rely on and that's all that you see but it was more of that with these two stud personalities

Michael Irvin and Stephen A that's one, two their similarities were highlighted and I felt like I was watching two people that were entirely too similar y'all are both eccentric y'all are both a little loud. Y'all are both unique in delivery.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was too much of that. So I hope they get it together. Then they had Tim Tebow on Friday, yesterday. How would that go? He's not a game. He's like Tim Tebow is like Tony Romo Jr. If you get to talking about football with him.

Anybody that played football and all that college, if you just get to talking about football with him. Yeah. Anybody that played football and all that college, like if you just get to talking to him, Tim Tebow's like, oh no, Stephen A. And Stephen A's approach was even different.

Well, I agree with everything you're saying, but all I'm saying is it's just a different dance that we're looking at. And I enjoy having to watch this in real time. I'm not like y'all

who kill niggas for trying to build it in real time. I'm not like y'all who kill niggas for trying to build it in real time. I enjoy it. I was going to say this must feel like something. I recognize that they're trying to do something different, and I allow the grace period to see where it lands. But I see what they done going for. I see what they thought the problem was

because they bringing in, listen, Tim Tebow, that was my point about the Dallas Cowboy topics. Okay, you got Michael Irvin. Play around a little bit. You don't have to do that. You got Tim Tebow. I want to see Bomani. Bomani's the man, but Bomani's not box office, I'm assuming, to ESPN.

Because they haven't put him in any of the box. It tells me that they might not think he's boxed. I love Beaumont. Me too. I do. I do shout to Beaumont. Brady's the man, but I don't want to go to football right now.

I know. He is the man. He's the man. He's the man. He's 25 out there. That boy there is just different. Here we go. On the way here,

because I'm not even really writing too much down now. Now I just want to hear where the edge is at. On the way here, they tell me, and they said you've said this before, that they're putting fentanyl dust on wheat. I didn't know that. See, I told you Parks didn't say that. When we

was talking about it last pot, I thought it was you. I'm sorry. No, I don't know them putting up weed I know they put it in coke And everything else It's going in everything Yeah Do we know that to be true Or are we just saying that

Our platform is too big To play around like that No no no I thought this was a real thing And if it is I'm coming over here to check y'all They saying in northern New Jersey People are lacing the weed

With fentanyl everybody please be careful so everybody smokes weed and people that i know that smoke weed on my instagram timeline was like yo this is some bullshit why are y'all doing that and i'm with them on this hell yeah why would you need to put fentanyl dust in weed the pills pills, I could kind of make sense of even though you're killing people. But I understand the logic behind you wanting to kill people. Weed?

Fam, what are you doing? What are you doing? I can't make this one make sense. It's the same logic. How? The same logic is... They stepping on the pills. That makes sense to me.

I get why they do that. But for coke and other drugs, it seems like a bad idea. The same logic is- They stepping on the pills. That makes sense to me. And heroin. I get why they do that. But for coke and other drugs, it seems like a bad idea. For weed, if you buy some bullshit- For weed, it seems like a- No. If you buy some bullshit weed, you buy some cheap weed. Everybody don't got money to buy this new Zaza that everybody else is smoking and selling.

Weed is high as hell now. Right. All right, let me just- Back in my- Wait, look, quick. Back in my younger years- No, I my real quick. Back in my younger years, I'm no, I'm saying back in my younger years

when I sold weed, it wasn't nowhere near as expensive as it is today. Right? True. So everybody don't have the money to go get this Cali good shit.

Well, I can't say that though because the good weed was always more expensive than the shitty weed. I know, but now it's different expensive. So what it's just saying

is if you got shitty weed and you want to get a turn up pop and you want to get a turn up pop you put some fentanyl in your shit back in the when i was young dog jokers was lacing they were smart spraying lysol on weed they was doing all types of shit when i was young the report would have came out that lysol has killed 100 people in the last that the drug dealer don't give a fuck see the drug no but no but one no the drug users want to get high yo dog i'm not at the risk of life that's not you're wrong you're way wrong when i was younger

they had i think you are wrong joe you're way wrong i don't think he is we're the ones here that did drugs i sold drugs i know we hear that bag was knocking you out let me i want to let him in let me see where he's going he's. He's way wrong. When I was younger, they had dope heroin that was literally killing motherfuckers. People were driving two hours to come buy it. That has nothing to do with this conversation. Park said that the users care if it's killing people. They want that shit even more. That can be true.

And I'm saying it too. That's true even if what you're saying is true. That's someone who has done- It's still true. Mad of the drugs. it's still true man of the drugs not all of the drugs but done a lot of the drugs i'm saying there are people dying that i don't think intended to die correct no that's not what you said you said that the you think that the people that are buying the drugs care if the drug is killing people they wouldn't buy it no they still buying they line up well they still buying addictions they'll line up for especially heroin when you hearing that heroin is killing motherfuckers a lot of these heroin users are lying up i just want to stop what y'all

are saying is not responding to what i'm saying i agree with y'all one little thing that you said i get both of y'all arguments you said something that you said they won't do they you see if lysol is saying all what i'm saying you said if lysol something that you said they won't do. If Lysol was killing a hundred people, you said if Lysol was killing a hundred people, they wouldn't buy it, not at the risk of death.

And he's saying that. No, no, no, no, no, stop. Yes, some people would still do it. That's not what I'm saying. All right, but what I'm saying- There are a lot of people that would.

You're also misconstruing what the drug user is thinking. They're not thinking, oh, this is fentanyl and it might kill me, but fuck're thinking oh that's extra strong heroin let me try that they don't know that the reason why it's extra strong is there's some shit in there that might kill them yeah they're just hearing that totally my man over here has the super strong heroin all right but um back to the original point i did see there's a post there's an article on uh from July 31st and it says fentanyl tainted marijuana

is a myth that refuses to go away and I read through it that makes a lot more sense I skimmed through it and it said yes it's possible to have fentanyl laced marijuana but it's about as rare as seeing a snow leopard I've seen a snow leopard

well Santa Cruz police they're beautiful about as rare as seeing a snow leopard. I've seen a snow leopard. Well, Santa Cruz police. They're beautiful, too. So, like I said, I'm just reading that one article. And again, that's in the July. Shit could have changed. No doubt. Shit definitely could have changed.

So, I'm not saying that you're wrong-ish. But, again, I don't... I'm still trying to find out what the K5 shit is. K2. K K2 the wax weed synthetic fan I've seen people just bugging bro like it's

all of the synthetic shit is kind of some TV zombie shit that they be doing when they on the K2 it's it's hard to watch when Jeff is being on K2

it's really hard to watch no y'all depressing me it's Friday Saturday I know let's leave it hard to watch. Like the bath salt epidemic. It's really hard to watch. No, you don't depress me. It's Friday, Saturday. Well, outstanding maybe. I know, let's leave it. I bring it up for somebody to leave sometimes. Go ahead. Be safe out there.

Drug dealers, drug users. Yeah, be safe. I've seen Parks. You retweeted it. You reposted it. I've been reposting. I've seen places selling test strips for as low as 99 cents.

Like, just test it. You know what I'm saying? Just try. Both sellers and users. Everybody. Because not for nothing, if you're selling this shit and you're killing people,

that might come back to you as a body. Yeah. We see what happened with Rest in Peace Mac Miller happening with the person that sold him his product. Is that what's happening

with Mike Williams too? They're looking for him. They're looking for the... Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. So this is going to become a bigger thing.

It's a whole other topic. It may be. I don't really like it, but... I don't like it either. What do you mean? I don't like the fact that when somebody famous dies... The dealer might not be the person responsible. They find them.

No, they find them. Right. When a dude that was in... What's the shit with Tom Cruise? Mission Impossible. He's been in that shit. Oh. No, Mission Impossible.

With the dude he passed away. He was in like some downtown apartment. They found him dead. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? Yeah.

They found those people that sold him that shit. They're probably going to find the people that sold Mike his shit. They're going to find the people that sell Mac Miller his shit.

But Joe Schmo they don't give a fuck enough to put the money or resources behind finding somebody else that killed all these other black people or that killed all these other people that were poor. They don't put the same resources in finding the people that sold them their shit. I don't like that. And on top of that. Like, yo, somebody's body or life is not worth more than somebody else because they don't have fame, stardom, or money. I agree with that. I don't really like that.

I definitely do. I'm just saying that as a drug dealer, you might want to test it. I was saying, I don't like it for a different reason. I was saying that don't solve the problem. I know. Like when y'all go find the person that dealt him the drugs, got it. Arrest him. But that don't fix it.

They don't fix shit. Well, they can't go too and they and they matter because i'm gonna meet you can't go too far up the ladder because then the motherfuckers writing the laws are going to be low key behind the shit so you can't you're gonna be chasing your tail i thought that was my phone popping off like i was there it wasn't my phone it wouldn't be none of y'all phones because everybody's beautiful relationship. You are too. No, it's not beautiful. A beautiful one?

I don't know. It might be mediocre. I don't know. Look, don't do that. Stop. Now, now, wait. A few good friends of mine since that whole Snow Allegra debacle have been calling me the songstress stalker. I posted that pic of you and I last night, and you don't have to talk yet because i'm doing an intro posted pic of you and i here they come here they come in my fucking mentions oh look at you

stalking all the singers but i just really really really love r&b right so I am blessed we are blessed we are all blessed with a very very very very special guest someone that I believe to be an artistic just genius you know I say some people are like hot sauce this young lady man and she might not even be young I don't fucking know she looks young that's all you got to do is look young now right yeah she's like hot sauce This young lady, man, and she might not even be young. I don't fucking know. She looks young. That's all you got to do is look young now, right? Yeah, she's like hot sauce. Like, you can put this young lady on just anything, and it works.

And that is what I think part of the problem is. But we're going to talk about it. After I get my little R&B bag off right quick. Hold up. See, this was my... Man, listen. I was going through heartbreak and turmoil. It was bad. Listen, I've been hurt.

I was so hurt when this... Oh, my God. All right. We have the amazing 7th Streeter in studio. Actually in studio with us. She is here. I don't know if it's a promo run. She might be going to see 90 other niggas when she leave here.

But she's here with us today. And I appreciate that. Oh, my God. I got this hook, Rob. You don't say nothing. You said enough. Oh, harmonies. Wait till I get this in the sound cabin. Why is the acoustic guitar so good when you're sad?

That is the saddest I'm telling you. Look, ain't that about a bitch. She was so sad. Seven has been through so many breakups. Is this good for you? Oh my god. Now you want to love me, huh? When I stop caring about you, now you want to love me, huh? Wait a minute. Seven. Hey.

What's that nigga name? First of all. What's his name? He don't even matter no more. He was just good for the publishing. That part. You his name? He don't even matter no more. He was just good for the publishing. That part. You and Adele. You don't matter no more. Yo,

Adele nigga came back for his, right? Did he? Yeah, no. He did. You're lying. Because they was married. Got mad buried.

You got married. We can't be married and you make an album and it was about the marriage. Now I get paid. I think he got paid. Fuck nah. Hey, look that up.

I think he did. He got paid. So you keep playing with men. Because she wrote about i think he got paid i think he did he got paid so you keep playing with men because she wrote about him he got paid keep playing with men son nah son they'll holler at me we can write another one let's go listen then this happened right i'm not gonna tell you what i did to this okay Okay. Oh my God. Cut it off. I already know what type of time that is.

I fucked on the ceiling. You was supposed to. That was you was supposed to. It's called sex on the ceiling. And that was when I still was physically fit enough. To make it up there? Damn. You can't get up there.

Don't blow into it. No, I can't even fuck no more. On the ground. Niggas is old now. Hey, she keep talking about, let's take it out the bed. I'm like, why? Let's go up here. I need the money.

I need the money. I need the money. I got a few records to get through, and then we going to talk to Seven. I don't have my time. I have her for her. But I just saw Seven last night at Fashion Week. She was with all of the, you know how the divas travel, right? It was diva-ish.

Like, she almost didn't say hi. I'm not shocked. Oh my God, look. So what was on your mind? With this record? This was a different dude. I mean. This nigga was doing shit.

But you know what? This is the thing. A lot of times I like to write records. I'll write multiple records about different phases of relationships so you know you first meet somebody it might be y'all lovey-dovey it's all it won't stop ish and you love them and then you know you fucking on the ceiling the sex on the ceiling because y'all it's like it's new it's fresh it's toxic sex you know what i mean that's toxic sex you should have just named it yo i'm fucking this toxic nigga i like a lot on the ceiling

it's adventurous it's fun hey the boring plain nigga ain't like a lot on the ceiling it's adventurous it's fun hey the boring plain nigga ain't trying to get on the ceiling that's the toxic dude well then there's a boring plain woman for a boring plain nigga

but for the ones that like the other there's somebody for everybody you feel me well that is true it's one of those that is true

yeah but every stage I write a different song about every stage how long have you been writing music I mean on and off since I was about

18 years old so it's um it's been a beautiful journey it's like my favorite thing in the world and growing up i always you know i wanted to be a singer but i didn't think about the songwriting aspect a lot of when you're young you don't think about that till you get older and you realize that for one writing pays a lot of bills for two writing is extremely therapeutic and um you know and it's fun to be able to like not have to live in my world but i can write and then send it off to whoever i want to send it off to and see their take on it like i love that actually that was my very next question like when you write something and it's therapeutic the writing part of it and then you now place the

song and someone else is delivering whatever you whatever you intended. How does that part feel? Is it still just as therapeutic hearing them deliver it? It is because I get to feel like I can get away with even more shit. I can say anything and don't have to even come out my mouth. But I still get to get that off. It's no different than writing it down. And when you write things down and you put it away, you're emptying out your subconscious. So when I write songs for other

people, I'm doing the same thing. So it's like, okay, I need that off my chest. Go get that off my chest for me. And it feels good, especially when they can do it the right way. Is it just as therapeutic for them, you think? Well, yeah, because when I write songs for other people,'s still a conversation and a lot of times you find like you find a commonality within the song and they feel like oh my god I went through the same shit so I get my rocks off and they get theirs off too it works out have you ever written a song for someone that didn't come back right that's what I was like yes um it's okay we're not gonna ask names well I won't say that it didn't turn out right, but it actually ended up turning out better for both of us.

Me and Jordan Sparks and Harmony Samuels and A-Rod, we wrote The Way for Jordan. And Jordan cut the record originally. Love that record. Thank you. And it was really, I mean, obviously Jordan can sing her ass off. Shout out Jordan. When is air?

But it went on to go to Ariana Grande, grande and we all made the executive including jordan that that was the play you know what i mean i agree with that play you know what i mean and she's selling the hell out of it you know what i mean and um so you know sometimes it works out like that yeah i want to play a song and then i want to ask you about it, but I want you to be honest. All right. Okay. He finna play some shit. I already know what time it is. No, I don't think this song ever came out. I mean.

I love this song. This is Imani. This is Imani singing right now. Shout out to Imani. Shout out to Imani. Let me turn this off. Turn it down for a second. He did this record a few years ago.

And you're on the second verse. It was never released. Mm-mm. I want to know the real reason why. I don't believe he has told me the truth. Well, I'll be honest. You didn't clear it for him? No, it wasn't clear. We were trying to shop the record.

This record wasn't placed? It wasn't placed. Oh, wait, hold on. You coming in. She coming in. Hold on, she came in. You heard her? Oh, you talked it again.

You tore Imani up on this record. No. No, when this record came back and I heard all that dance, you got to be careful fucking with people like you. You are so serious. I'm serious. I appreciate it. But you know what, though?

To Imani, he sung it as a reference. He never sung it as himself. Shoot him some bad. You know what I mean? Like, if he shot at it for himself. He probably would have did. It would be somehow undertone. You know what I mean? Like, if he shot at it for himself, he probably would've did. It'd be somehow understated, you know what I mean?

It was a reference, but he killed that shit. Listen to her, though. Look. When you come to mind Oh, it's all your Oh, my God. Wait, what's all my

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who's he talking to? Well, this is a moment. Yo, what do you think about this new trend, right? And I'm saying new, but the R&B songstresses, right? wait, wait. Who's she talking to? What is the moment? Yo, what do you think about this new trend, right? And I'm saying new, but the R&B songstresses, right? Boy, y'all getting vulgar now, and I love it. I love it. It's fun.

You, Ari, Jasmine, even her is sultry being a little hot ass. Her, you're a little hot ass on a harp.'re a little hot ass on a harp. Sexy. Hot ass on a harp. She on a harp getting sexy. Listen, she do get sexy on them instruments. She's great. She's amazing.

Shonda Gabby. Yeah. But what do you think about that? You're with it. Well, because I think that like, it's the thing. You have to realize, a lot of the people that you mentioned,

y'all have been seeing us for a very long time. Me, I'll speak for myself. I won't speak very long time. Me, I'll speak for myself. I won't speak for the other ladies, but I'll speak for myself. I've had a deal since I was 15 years old. You've seen me slowly and progressively turn into a woman. You know what I mean? So me in my 30s is not going to be the same as me in my 20s. And even though I was really talking about sex on the ceiling in my 20s too. So it's just one of those things that I was, that part.

But I think that it just grows, your comfortability with your body and your sexuality and the skin that you in, it grows over time. And nobody told me, and me and my girlfriends talk about this, that your sex drive in your 30s, it goes, it skyrockets. Y'all. For women, y'all. You don't have it for y'all? No.

It's the opposite. Get away from me. Really? So that's why in the 20s y'all fuck the fuck wild and then in your 30s y'all kind of chill. Yeah.

I'm glad you said it. You just reminded me. Ice, you can have all of my pink power horse juice. What? Ice keeps giving me the Cam'ron pink power juice

sex liquid, and he sells it like he works for them. He's like, yo, this shit is so good. Yo, take it, take it. So I just leave this shit sitting because my dick, you know what I mean? This morning, this shit all old and mildewy. I'm shaking it. I'm like, I got to get this back to Ice.

I didn't give you the last one. What do you got? I don't need them, yo. I don't need them. All right. What is the power? Camron is selling organic sex stimulant. Oh.

For men. Oh, okay. It's supposed to make you, you know, get there. Hard. All right. Well, I mean, shit. Whoever teaches on if you need, you know. What you're saying about your uh i guess evolution from

start to now is why i'll be honest don't hit me don't hit me because women can't hit me um is why maybe earlier on when it looked like you were trying to figure it out critics were harsh i see songstresses go through this, right? I see it's happened with Tanaji. It's a few people. It should have happened to Gabby. It happens. And then you did it. I don't know what it is because that's for you.

I don't even know what the specific it is that you talk about, but I know how I feel, and I relate to what you say. Like, I feel more like myself right now than I ever have. Yeah, yeah. That part.

That part. When was your first single? How old were you? When was my... I should remember stuff like that, right? She been around. You were like a group first, right? Yeah, it was groups first.

And then my first single was pretty much with Chris, It Won't Stop. So that was, I want to say I was about 22, 23 maybe. Critics are looking at you like a kid. It's hard to envision somebody that's 20 years old in a sexy light. Well, we kind of see Chloe Bailey going through a little bit of it now. We're having a hard time accepting. And people don't want, they won't allow her the space to turn into the woman that she feels comfortable.

That's that one. They try to put you in a box that they the woman that she feels comfortable. That's that. They try to put you in a box that they want you in. You're supposed to be here. Yeah, you're supposed to be here. This is your. So now once you evolve to your 30s, now it's more accepting of the world that you could be talking about fucking on the ceiling. Yeah. As opposed to being 20 fucking on somebody's ceiling.

I guess so. Listen, it's not my job to tell people how to how to you know digest me that's not my job they're gonna do it on their own i just have to go according to how i feel how my soul clock feel how my body feels and right now today i feel amazing as a writer though it's like kind of a cheat code right like yeah your pen is your pen that will never leave it don't matter if there's fans, if it's not fans. I know what happens with this pen. So when we get into the writers that are growing into artists and the fans are having a hard time with the transition,

you know, a writer might throw out a few records. And you've thrown out a few records. And the fans maybe didn't know how to gravitate towards it. But it doesn't really matter because you're a writer. You ain't losing. I got time. I'm going to write, write, write, write, but it doesn't really matter because you're a writer you ain't losing I got time I'm a right right right right write it up I mean, I'm a writer, but you know what I'm saying is different It's different if you didn't have if I didn't have one that was

Effective and impactful in the marketplace the label might have moved on from me or the publisher might have moved on Looked at more as ours. I think rappers in general Thought of his writers as much yeah but that's such a great cheat code but we said rappers aren't thought of as rappers yeah but that's like the most backwards shit most rappers aren't giving away their shit that's true that's right like somebody could be able to sing singing as a singer that's the quote-unquote talent right to just be able to sing. Singing as a singer, that's the quote unquote talent. Right? To just be able to sing. If you can write, you might not be able to hum a note. Right? You won't be known. Well, they

are known. Brian Michael Cox and them. They're known, but I'm just saying, people look at the talent as singing. Like whether Whitney Houston ever wrote a fucking lyric, people praise Whitney Houston for the talent. They don't look at the writers as being the more talented people.

With rapping, you're rapping and the writing is the art. So I think it's just like they group y'all. And on top of that, for the most part, with rappers, it's a knock if you have a writer. Yeah, true. You can't. Because that's the talent piece. Writing the lyrics are the talent piece. It pulls you down a notch no matter how good you're not supposed

to have a writer if you're a rapper I get it you're feeling when you heard the guilty beat nothing on it just a beat

yeah alright so real story right we got a video like VHS footage my family like I'm from a small town we got seven houses

relatives on one street what town are you from can you tell us Kane City Polk County really small in Florida like VHS footage my family like I'm from a small town we got seven houses that have relatives on one street where you from? Can you tell us? Kane City, Polk County really small in Florida right between Orlando and Tampa and you know my family

you know growing up your families had house parties you know what I mean and so we had a house party at my aunt's house I was legit but we got this VHS tape of my granddaddy

that's in Florida I'm legit you know I'm Florida I'm from Florida legit and my granddaddy was That's the Florida. I legit, you know, I'm Florida. I'm from Florida, legit. And my granddaddy was dancing the big payback. The James Brown had his hands above his head and just, hey, hey, hey.

That's the favorite idea. He was like, you know, that was his shit. And that was my first introduction to that sample. And then, you know, when Total and Puff and them came back with Can't You See, I'm just like, I was like, you know, it was my formative and them came back with Can't You See, I'm just like, I was like, you know, it was my formative years.

And it was like, oh, this was just fly. And they was dressed in fly. And their hair was fly. And it's just like, I remembered that from my granddad. So when it came around again,

it was just like, nah, this sample still got the same magic it had two generations ago. And this generation need to feel that. That was important. So when I heard it, it was like, and this generation needs to feel that. That was important. So when I heard it, it was a no-brainer for me. And then on top of that, the writing was really well. Because I say this all the time.

People think because I'm a writer, I've got to write everything. Oh, no. I don't. We delegate. We pass that right on. Come on. Listen here. So the record, it was sent to me in a batch of six or seven records.

And that was the one i was like nah give me that one and who sent the batch i was spiced chris's cousin sent that batch shout out spice he sent that batch and i knew i wanted because of what it was talking about i wanted to go back and forth with another with the male voice and then because i remembered the feeling from it with with totaling them i wanted like a new New York feeling type of rapper on the record. So Chris and Ferg got at it and it just it felt exactly like what it was supposed to feel like. Look, she doing some more fucking in the hooks. She will not get enough of this raunchy.

Listen, I. Listen here. I love it. Listen, I like to speak about every aspect of life in all my music. And I've gone through different. If you listen to all my projects, there's a space where it's like I was super duper in love. There are songs where I'm super duper heartbroken. There are songs where I talk about where I'm from on 4th Street. It's just a range of it. But I think that because I'm a woman

and I speak about sexuality, it's something that maybe stands out a little bit more because you hear it in men music all day. That's all they talk about is ass and titties and pussy and fucking all of it. And they talk about the heartbreak too, but I think that when a woman speaks about sexuality, it's like, ooh, did she just say that?

That's kind of been a thing for a while. Yeah. In rap, like you said. In society, not for a minute. In society.

In society. You're absolutely right. Women are not allowed to be as sexualized. It's coming around, though. It is. But I think that when we have the power over it

and we get to control how we feel about it and it's our narrative, I think that that's important. So, you know. That was dope. And agree but come on but i'm gonna try to dig a little deeper here come on bud i like to analyze lyrics okay a lot please especially in r&b songs okay i think i have a i think i think i think i know what this song is saying i think in this chorus it is it's not something what i think i have i think i think i think i know what this song is saying i think in this

chorus it is it's not something what i think it's saying women don't really admit to it so i'm trying to get you to what is what is what are you saying what are you guilty about the song says you gonna get me caught up love drunk fucked up over you but it but I don't feel guilty the more that

we keep sneaking creeping so you fuck oh hey stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, Hotel rooms in my chest So why won't they just say They love us toxic niggas Well because it's a thing Just because a person has I mean those toxic niggas

But just because And I've had I've had so many conversations I've had conversations With girlfriends Conversations with fans Conversations online Conversations by DMs

Because people DM me About this song It's been real conversations Just because sometimes You may love who you love, but ain't nobody exempt from having a moment where they're like, I don't really want nobody to know about this. I kind of slipped up. I don't know how I got into this situation, but I actually have feelings for this person and it is what it is. It's a real thing. It does

happen. So in any case, I never want to shy away from the truth in music because I think that that's why people relate to the song. So you got it. You can't exclude people to have experiences that you may not necessarily have or that you may not necessarily like green light or want to admit to. It's still an experience. It's worth being told. Yeah, they should tell it more. Yeah, stories.

All the stories worth being told. I agree. I agree with that. I'm looking at you and your skin is amazing. Yours too. Really? Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? Don't do that again.

Don't do that again. I don't know how to take care of myself. Don't do that. What's your regimen? For skin? Yeah. I will say this. I have a couple different products I love, and I'm being real.

My friend Dorian has a really dope skin line called Butterskin. Is he black? He's black. Okay. He is black. His skincare line is amazing. And I love that it's black because I feel like that's been a difference because I didn't always dive into skincare and stuff like that before, but I like that I have brands now that are geared towards women of color

like I'm a brown-skinned woman you you did not necessarily be it you couldn't go on the shelves and just find shit that was for you so that's fire and the fact that Rihanna has excuse me Fenty skin like that's fire and it hurt so will talk about skin care all day but the no the moisturizers everything it's really really good the toners are good everything is good

so black skin care for me no when I seen you last night at the shit aww thank you god damn it

thank you okay your album is coming yes nails a week after you okay Drunk and Wears Sober Thoughts. Yes.

Sheesh. That's your album? Yeah. That's the name of your album? That's the name of my album. Drunken Words, Sober Thoughts. It's more fucking.

Well, listen here. It's a little bit of everything. Drunken Words, Sober Thoughts. Is there any acoustic guitar songs that will make us cry? Drunken Words, Sober Thoughts, what do you think?

What comes to mind when you hear that? I think it's backwards. Do you want to tell me about it? No, you hear the Drunken thoughts with the sober words. Drunken thoughts with sober words? It's the bullshit. The shit that you say when you're drunk, you really, really mean.

Sometimes. Okay, so if it's reversed, then what does it do for you? For me? It don't do nothing for me, but I get the concept. I'm just saying, more fucking. Oh, no, that's what I'm saying. I mean, I don't need the alcohol to give you the sober thoughts.

No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's okay, it's okay. I'm like, listen, he might be telling himself a little bit. Don't start your shit. Don't start your shit. Everybody telling themselves. It's okay, more fucking for you.

Go ahead. No, no, no. Go ahead. What does it do for you? The stuff that, you know, liquor brings out your inhibitions. Or the stuff that you really, really, really think when you're by yourself. So when you're sober, you can hide them.

Once you're drunk, you can't hide them no more. So that's whether you feel that way about a guy or a girl. Whether you feel that way about your boss. What does her title tell you? It don't do nothing for me, nigga. I don't drink. And I'm telling the truth when I'm sober. What are you talking about? But that's a a good point and so I say that to say when I say drunk and worse sober

thoughts I understand that the correlation with that is you know the more you drink you know you tell the truth you drink you spill your guts but for me you can be under the influence of a number of things you can be under the influence of love you can be under the influence of lust anger heartbreak a million different things and for me with that process in this album it's been the last since they since he heard my last album the last three years it's the truth though it really is the truth i've been under the influence of every single emotion that i can name i lost my favorite uncle to cancer fucking tore me apart so I spent the majority of my three years away sleeping on the floor next to his bed like watching sermons with him it was a real thing

I dated a little bit went through some heartbreak that was that's definitely in there you know um it's just a lot of I am definitely not the same woman that I was on my last project as I am now because I've been under the influence of a million different emotions and I will say this I'm a cancer I'm very sensitive I'm very emotional and I don't shy away from that and in the past you know people have made me feel like I should have and through these last three years I realized nah that's my superpower it's the reason why you know I can tap and I can have a whole conversation with anybody in this room and write a song exactly about how you feel. And so when I say drunken words, sober thoughts, it's about being under the influence of a multitude of emotions and

writing from all those spaces, but more fucking for you. I got you. I got a question, question for you. because you said you're a cancer and I like to ask cancers this yeah last time you had a good cry they cry all the time

an hour ago come on now that's the real thing she said cancer I said oh she gonna try to play I was crying for this song I was writing for someone else

they get busy that's so real no the last time I had a good... Honestly, you're right. A couple days ago. And I will say this. With this whole...

Jesus. Don't cry. I'm not going to cry. My bad. Glowing. No, I have good cries all the time. I don't believe in having to... Unless you're somewhere where you got to be functional and you don't have in having to, unless you're somewhere

where you got to be functional and you don't have time to cry. There are moments where I'm a cancer and sometimes I be like, all right, you ain't got time to cry. Suck that shit up and get it together and get it done. But in the times where I do feel like I need to,

yeah, I cry. I don't understand the idea of feeling something that really wants to make you say, release something, and then you don't understand the idea of feeling something that really wants to make you say release something and then you don't. And then you try to move past it and function with the rest of your life. That's backwards to me. And then you wonder why you reach a roadblock and then a roadblock because you emotionally back the fuck up. Let that shit go.

Are you in therapy? I have done therapy before. Well, you know what my therapy is? And I do want to go to actual therapy. But my therapy is I wake up every morning. I watch a sermon. My aunt is my pastor. I talk to her three o'clock in the morning, four o'clock in the morning. I write as much down as I can. I meditate outside. I go outside in my backyard. I stretch every morning. I talk to God religiously. That's my therapy. You know what I i mean and if i need extra therapy on top of that you better believe i'm gonna run to a therapist

you know got it got it um what pressures if any are you feeling this close to release date oh real talk the pressures that i feel going into this release date is that I am very aware of the support that I've had up until this point. And that they have fallen in love with certain records and a certain idea of who I am and who I was at that time. And like I said, we're people. We're not the same person every day. You are not the same person you were three years ago that you are today. I'm not the same person I was this morning.

You're not the same person you were this morning. So with music, it's like, please with this project, understand that I am a person like everybody else. I'm transitioning into whoever this version of me is now. And so my music is going to reflect that. And if anything, the pressure's that people, you know, that they understand that process and they listen to the music with those sets of ears

and know that as much as I'm aware of that, I'm still aware of the things that they like. I keep in mind, I know that they like crazy melodies and nice riffs. Are you on a label? I'm independent. I'm at E1. I'm at E1 I'm at E1

shout out to E1 they've been very great to me shout out to Alan they've been really really amazing to me and they've allowed me like a great deal of freedom

and that's been fun E1 got guilty rocking like that yeah where they hold up now yeah they won seven yes they did

no I'm proud of them I'm proud of them you want you want that ability you want the ability and we need see I see Parks did. No, I'm proud of them. I'm proud of them. You want that ability. You want the ability. And we need, see, I see Parks asked that. She said, I'm independent. We need E1 to do that.

We need Ghazi to do that. We need all of them so artists can have more choices and options. For sure. Like, if E1 is able to get a record off the ground, a lot of times for an unsigned artist or an aspiring artist, that's what we really want to hear. Do you have the tools to get something popping if I I give it to you right cuz then I'll go work to get it to you but if you don't do that then I'm not incentivized to so

now I would have never thought that cuz guilty is giving me Atlantic is giving me RCA it's giving me the push that I come to know from these other places that's great we talk about pressure like if, I'm sure you've been on a major label before, right? Yeah. She won already. She won. The pressure's probably different, right? It's very different, but I welcome it.

Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Because now the pressure's on you a little bit. You're in control of the pressure. Well, my learning is at an all-time high. Sure. I said this literally yesterday. I was talking to one of my friends,

and I was like, I thank God for both. I love the fact that I was at a major from the time that I was 15. I was at two. I was at RCA first in a group, and then I went to Atlantic. And then after Atlantic, now I'm independent. There are so many things I learned from being at those majors that I'm now able to apply to me being independent. And I wish that for every artist. I want them, I wish they could experience it on both sides.

Me too, me too. Because it gives you a great deal. Even when, and now that I'm independent, I have a great deal of the things that I was able to experience while I had, while I was at a major. Right. So it's like, everything.

You know the things to search out and ask for and accomplish on your own that you didn't know maybe before you were, you know. Yeah. If you weren't there. And I know to ask the right questions to even where I am right now. I go, no, I know y'all can get that done

because I haven't seen that before. Don't play with me. You know what I mean? So it's great. I'm learning. It's amazing. That's what's up. Yeah.

It can't be education. Yeah. Basically. And there's no better teacher than experience. Come on. That part. So I didn't look to see what was coming. You only gave, you cheated. basically. And there's no better teaching experience. Come on. That part. So, I didn't look to see what was coming.

You only gave, you cheated. You only gave us like, what do they call the tracks where they drop them once a week? You gave us two. Right?

We got two of those. I gave you two. You want more? I mean, three or four would have been. Maybe ten. Yeah. No, no.

Just feels, please. Wet Dreams and feels. After the Wet Dreams and the feels. Can you ask him feels? Just feels, please. Wet dreams and feels. But you know the thing that I was saying, I like to write about different periods and spaces within my relationships. And so it's like, wet dreams is a space. Tell me about it. You know what I mean?

It's a space where you're like, it's like right in the heart of like, you know you fuck with this person. You know they fuck with you. It's like, okay, what are you doing? Whatever you're doing, drop what you're doing. I love when girls get to that place.

I need to see you now. I want to see you now. It's hard for them. Right when you can control them, right? No, no, no. No, no, no. No. Asshole.

No, I'm not even saying. No, let me hear what she's saying, man. You asshole. She turned to me. I feel you. Okay, well, let me no. No. Asshole. No, I'm not even saying. Wait, let me hear what she's saying, man. Asshole. She turned to me. I feel you. Okay, well, let me hear from you. No, when a girl just loses all that too cool for school,

like, yo, what you doing? Well, because we know. I need you. But we don't want, we don't necessarily want to even, we don't want to have to pull out the too cool for school. You know what I mean?

We will let that go when we feel comfortable enough making us feel comfortable is everything and there are a million different ways like are you calling us consistently you know what I mean no consistently according to our schedule I understand sometimes people's schedules are crazy I get that I get that I live for that but I'm just saying the things that make that particular woman feel comfortable. If you want a space in that woman's space, then make her feel comfortable. I'm glad that you said that. I'm going to toss this out there. And without giving us too much, in your dating experience, what have you found easier?

Dating someone that understands the plight of what you go through? That's a great question. Or someone that has no ideaight of what you go through that's a great question or someone that has no idea about any of it um oh it's like it's there are pros and cons to both and there's two sides to both if I'd say what I prefer right now I prefer somebody who understands my schedule because people will think that I understand that sometimes a missed call or a call not returned it's not a it's not a reflection of how I feel about you it just just so happens that I'm working you know when she we need that as a drop what she just said so I could just keep playing that I agree

and sometimes working don't look like working and then and sometimes working don't look like working you gonna see me at a party turned up not knowing my feet hurt. I've been working all day. I'm ready to go the fuck home. But if I'm there for work, I'm there for work. You're still working. Just know that.

I enjoy it as much as I am. Or I might be laying on the couch looking at my phone. I'm still working. Not answering texts, but I'm working. You mean to tell me that there are men that would apply this type of pressure to your text inbox?

Not men. I won't. I'll say this it'll show itself in different ways it'll show itself in patience you know what I mean like you know where you look up and it's like okay if it's and I understand it I'm not I don't even knock it I mean it's probably why I'm single right now but I'm very comfortable with that but it'll it'll show itself in patience like let's say if there is a week or two where I just got a crazy two weeks and I literally don't even have time for my own self, it's hard for me to make time for someone else.

And you guys tell me if there's a certain level, and sometimes there's a certain level of attention that as a man, I'm sure you probably need. So I get that. I got to hear your voice within a week. I got to hear your voice. Yeah, you'll hear a voice It could be,

it could be something short. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. And so I'm learning now to deal with men who understand that. You know what I mean? Who understand that like,

if you know my schedule is crazy, but I'm in a car heading from one place to another and I'm hitting you like, hey babe, how was your day? You got to honor that time. You know what I mean? Yeah.

How was your day? You got to appreciate that time. You know what I mean? Yeah. How was your day? You got to appreciate that time. Yeah, because that means just as much as me spending a whole day with you. If I had nothing to do and I was just sitting at home talking to you all day

because I wasn't busy, my half an hour phone call in the middle of this meeting and this meeting, that means a lot. It means a lot. Do you have any kids? No.

That keeps her That's the girl That's the buffa Yeah Yeah Jay's gonna keep me together Yeah She will

Listen here So I'm a believer in like You know The hustle You know You got work for yours. You know what I mean? So it's like you go to a strip club.

I want to see the theatrics. I want to see you go crazy. Because the same way you working for yours, I had to work for the stack that I'm throwing. So if I throw, if I'm throwing it, I'm going to take my time. So even if she's fine. Yeah, but there's no publishing in stripping. But fine ain't enough. She's saying you got to work. That's what I want to know. I'm going to take my time. She's fine.

She can be fine, but it's going to go to the one that's going the craziest. You know what I mean? She up on the pole doing tricks and all this. For one, I have a great deal of respect for strippers. As do I. I think we all are. Listen here.

First of all, this upper body strength is not what it is. Stripper pole, it's kind of crazy. So I have a great deal of respect for them. And yeah, I'm going to get a stack to the one that go the craziest. You're not about to be, I'm not about to tip no lazy. Nah, there's no time for that. So you're keeping your money in New York strip clubs?

That's what I heard. Well, it depends on which one? Well, y'all tell me about it. It depends on which one. When you go to the fancier ones, they so fly that they kind of spoil.

It's not even about fancier ones, it's about the ones that, more popular. Yes. Where the rich guys going, the industry dudes is going, the dope boys is going. They don't got to work as hard

if you're pretty. Well, I haven't been to a strip club in New York in a very, very, very long time. What does 7th Street do for fun? It might not be fun to everybody else, but it's fun to me. Like what I like to do for fun, true story, I'll get in my car I'll

drive down I live 30 minutes from Malibu I'm gonna drive down to PCH take my blanket take my speaker take my weed take my my wine take my book take my whatever I need and I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna chill and I'm gonna chill by myself and that's fun to me I definitely could see laying in the grass you know I mean that's I like to to, when that's that, I like to chill with myself. Outside of that, if I'm, it's not that, I like to be home with my family. Like,

I love being with my cousins. I love cutting the fuck up when I go home to Haines City. Like, we drink moonshine on Sundays. Like, it's just fun. Like,

it's the truth. With the fruit in it. With the fruit in it, it's fun. I like to be with people that I actually enjoy being around. Pardon my vulgarity for two seconds. All i'm gonna pan to the camera boy it's tough trying to fuck the girls always with her family right it's tough you're trying to get away from uncle harry cousin

in the hill your cousins ain't got like a cousin kickball you just learn how to get down with the family you just gotta go there no no no no, no, no, no, no. You're not just gonna go there. Let's get that, no, let's get that together. You're not just gonna, you're not just gonna go there. I didn't mean to imply that. I said you gotta learn how to get down with the family. And that means a lot of things.

Nah, just because I get down with my family don't mean I'm gonna let you get down with my family. I'm very picky about who I... Like the New Orleans girls. New Orleans girls, they guard their family. Once Uncle Harry picky about who I... Like the New Orleans girls. This is... The New Orleans girls, they guard their family. Once Uncle Harry like you though, you in.

I mean, once certain family members like you, it's over. It's like, okay, you in there, it's good.

But you know, nah, I keep my family to myself. And then I will say, like I live in LA, I'm there by myself, a little bit by myself. My girlfriends come over

and that's, we had a time of our lives. We gonna sit there, we gonna talk, we gonna shoot the shit, we gonna turn the music sky high, dance around the whole house, like,

have drinks. We just, it's, I like good, like, just good female energy, good vibes, and so,

you know, I don't know. I just like, I like kickback shit. I like to crib than going out though. Yeah, but then I do go out

and, you know, people think that that's the majority of my fun. No, that's a lot of my job. You know what I mean? It's a huge part of my job. And I like to make fun of anything that I have to do. I don't like for things to feel like it's a chore or work or labor.

So I'm not going to be at the club. No, I'm going to have fun everywhere I go. Because of that, honestly, do you even have time for a relationship outside of the one you have with music? I mean, apparently I haven't had time up until now. You know what I mean?

I've been single for a little minute and we'll see if it changes. Slow down. I'm not going to let you sneak that by me. What? What's a little minute?

No, no. That part is cool. But she said, because I've been busy with work, I really haven't. I haven't been single for a little while. Now that could be.

Yeah. Also, though, it could really been single for a little while. Now that could be. Also, though, it could mean... Talk about it. No. Say it. It couldn't tell me about you. No, no, no. I see the seven corner. It's okay.

They're fine. They are fine. I like that girl. I ain't trying to be myself in front of her. No, you can be yourself. You can myself in front of her no you can be yourself you can be yourself for real you can be yourself

for real be yourself oh it's the first time it's okay it's okay Jada not gonna kill you you make me feel so warm it's okay or

if you've been single for a little while yeah niggas might be like talk about it she might be nuts they may think that are you nuts

but there's only one way to find out oh she's not no no nuts no i'm not nuts i just you know i like to take my time i like to get to know people i'm not um i'm not very i'm not gonna be like this when i first meet you you know what i mean it's a real thing like I have very real relationships in my life my girlfriend my family so I'm not gonna let that she's betting niggas out she you know me I'm not gonna let that happen when it comes to niggas she out there asking our middle names yeah yeah when you got a strong family unit though I need to know like and too

it's like it's a lot of things that I've really you know I will say this like I have not I've been doing this since I was 15 years old there are things I don't know how old you are well would you like to know she's at 32 right yeah would you like to know I'm 35 yes black yeah yes very much so oh my god very much so beautiful very grown God. Very much so. Beautiful. Very grown. Beautiful. But it's one of those things. I take pride in all of my relationships, all of my friendships.

So the same thing is going to apply to my niggas. Cancers be having slick mouths until you say something slick back and then they cry. Well. They do. Yeah, that's real. Cancers who maybe, you know,

are not in the line of work that I'm in, I can get that because they let their emotions overtake them, but I'm not in the space where that that I'm in, may, I can get that because they let their emotions overtake them, but I'm not in the space where that, it can't happen like that for me. Yeah,

that's what I got. Listen, I saw her work the room at Fashion Week. She worked the room, but like, not purposely trying to work the room.

And I had a real good time in there, by the way. I just like people. All the people that I spoke to said, oh my, they like, was trying to compliment me, but they was dissing me what you mean i was hurt i can't keep going to those events

like i've seen all my gay homies all my transgender homies but then like everybody else was like a little confused they didn't know not like they said i look too mean to be they kept saying like you're the last person i expected to be here. And then they would say stuff like, oh, you're taller than I thought. And then they would say stuff like, I was just getting dissed all night. No.

At this fucking pretty little thing. I went in there feeling like a pretty little thing. And I left. My confidence was a little, you know, it was shattered a little bit. No.

Because you know, gay niggas don't play. First of all, they was in there dressed to the fam. It was like Bam Well first and foremost I just say

Your man Ricky That they gave the podcast to Ricky, Ricky, Ricky Wait a minute baby I don't know what that was He's killed He killed I was like damn Ricky

You ain't gotta do it like that He ain't even look at me He was like thanks nigga Which Ricky you talking about? Ricky I don't even know We just know him as Ricky. Oh, all right.

Dark skin. Oh, he had on blue last night. Rick. Oh, man. He was so clean. No, I know. Yes, shout out to Ricky. No, no, no, I know.

Hi, Ricky. I was checking him out. No, we actually, we saw Ricky later on that night. He looked amazing. Oh, he didn't ruin it by being pissy drunk later? He looked fabulous. That made me feel better when I went to bed he probably look like shit now

are we talking about the same again damn Kenny you know hate off we might not be talking about the same again no we are

no he was killing he looked amazing he killed killed killed killed but everybody did the event was fire though I don't know why didn't you

they kept asking you why he was there I think you you fit in right fine to me I don't understand don't expect to see joe at none of this they think it was never first of all the public no no honestly thank you thank you

somebody that's mean they don't know i thought all i saw was a black man there supporting a beautiful woman tiana taylor with a beautiful new clothing line a beautiful vibe and it was a beautiful night that's all let me clap it up for tiana too yeah like that event was fire like it felt very much so her like she had the dancers come out in the beginning the clothes was fire

and we was all there to celebrate it was good music was good that wasn't Kid Da Wiz music was good let me just say that Tiana

that's what I said when the dancers came out in front of the train looking thingamajig like Kid Da Wiz did on the Ellen show in New York

we just used to seeing Kid Da Wiz and the homies do all that dance and shit but I like those kids but I did want to see Kid Da Wiz did on the Ellen Show in New York. We just used to seeing Kid Da Wiz and the homies do all that dance and shit. But I like those kids. But I did want to see Kid Da Wiz. But there's room for all the dancers. Listen, I thought that shit was fire.

Seven, we're not going to get another long hiatus from you after this. For honest, I'm not, this is not funny because we love you. I love you too. And it's been a lot of years where I'm like. I know. She writing, man.

She getting the real money. I know. She's lifing. Thank you. I'm like I know she writing man she getting the real money I know she's lifing thank you I was lifing that's all it was a real lifing

type of thing and I can't promise that I won't life again like if I don't life then I don't live and she getting that money she's right so I got a life

I got a life and I think that honestly on some real shit if anybody learn anything I think that us having to we had to take off a year and do nothing but pretty much life live with yourself you know and live with yourself we were talking about this off camera a few minutes ago like

you know it's it's I understand that our our pandemic and our time off was it was tough but I think that a large bit of that was necessary and And it's because we didn't, before that, we didn't get to life a lot. It was like, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work. Move around, move around, do, do, do, do, do. And it's like, nah, everybody sit down for a year.

And now they can't get us back to work. No, but not in the way that we were, and I don't think that's a bad thing. Yeah, but when we say that, we were and I don't think that's a bad thing not at all yeah but when we say that we all sound like rich capitalists no I think it's

anti-capitalist but that's a different story I also just enjoyed how much it brought me closer to the people that I'm kind of close with but maybe don't spend enough time with

like doing zoom calls and facetimes and all that shit like you really kind of found out who really fucks with you come on that part that part

so there's no more hiatus we got Jeremiah we got Lucky Day oh no it's no more hiatus. We got Jeremiah. We got Lucky Day. Oh no, it might be a hiatus. I don't want to lie to the people. It might be a hiatus. If life happens. Hey, if life happens.

And let me tell you what that means in R&B. I'm like R&B Whisperer. Come on, R&B Whisperer. If she meet that dude. If she meet a nigga. It's a rapper. Y'all not getting egged.

She's guilty. Y'all not getting innocent. Y'all not getting it's guilty y'all not getting innocent y'all not getting the jury's still out listen here that's not true you just get a different it'll be a different

take on what I'm going through that's all and you might hear from someone else or that part listen which is the fly thing

about being a songwriter whatever you don't always have to be the artist it must be nice that's when the pressure's off you yeah yeah you don't gotta do the interviews you're getting the bag you're getting the bag fuck the bag the writers get the bag so now i don't gotta put out no albums y'all keep talking about the bag and you take away from the artistry first of all all right that's that's number one you got artists because i hear you

you're right you're so right. You're right. It's there. But it's funny how you say it, but it's true. No, but I don't be joking. It's true. What I said when I introduced you about you being so talented that sometimes it's hard to figure it out. And you perfectly explained it.

I'm growing up and y'all just got to wait until I finish. Thank you. That's what we see and it's tough. So we make these jokes, but for you to be where you are, and I asked you about pressure. Let me just, I'm projecting now for you, not you, but you have this amazing record that everybody loves. When I get the aux, this comes on,

people that never heard it, they go crazy. Everybody goes crazy. But I'm a musician, so when I hear it, I hear heartbeat, I hear your beautiful voice, I hear Chris I hear heartbeat I hear your beautiful voice I hear Chris Brown it's not your first or second Chris Brown feature Chris comes with a certain pressure this beat this sample it comes from greatness it comes with a certain pressure I'm just glad that where you are today in your artistry in your journey in your process you feel none of it and probably because you felt it all already

yeah that was good and that's and that's the part that I love for you just artists when you see them you could tell you can't you could feel that you could feel it I could tell the people who were artisting last night and the people that was just them. Big difference. Big difference. Listen, I don't want to hold you hostage even though I would look at your team and wait the sensitivity class. You can't even do that, right? You can't look at the team?

You can't tell them. You gotta say it when they leave. Listen, seventh album, in your phone, in stores. Drunken Words, Silver Thoughts. I'm buying that bad boy.

Thank you. And doing some more shit to it too. As you should. Seven tonight, if you are not busy, you will get a strip club invite. Let's go. You don't have to take it,

but I will have done my job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can she or y'all? I mean. Seven told me I could be good. I'm a singer. Seven told me I could be myself.

You can be yourself. Be yourself. All y'all be yourself. Listen, we want to thank the amazing Seven for stopping by here. Thank you. I can't wait for the album to drop. Hopefully we see you again. Hopefully we'll hear from you again.

Not in three years. Not in three years. What's the date on the album? September 17th. You know, got to go on my sevens yes september 17th i'm very excited yeah if you wouldn't have did it with a seven in there i just said oh she bullshit you know what i mean ain't got a seven in there exactly exactly did you did this a stylist that did this i mean it's a combination of my stylist and and I'm just obsessed with a certain aesthetic and, you know, we talk it out

and send things back and forth all day, so. We love Seven, man. You gotta go. Get out of here. I love y'all too. Seven, thank you

for stopping by. Hey, Chris, don't you try to do that. You're the only one that come on. Like, Chris be trying to body the girls. He do.

He do, but he don't play with you. Well, that's because he taught me a lot of what I know vocally. You know what I mean? Really? Yeah, real talk yeah real talk you know obviously I did not know that yeah he taught me a lot of what I know vocally um you know I grew up singing in church that was a whole thing and obviously I have my own skill set and my own you know my own personality when it comes to my singing but

there were like plenty of days in the studio where I would struggle with my vibrato because it was really fast and he would go no seven sing it slow like this and I would sing it slow like that and it would sound better or it's little little different things I never I will always give credit what credit is due and he taught me a lot about how to use my voice so um you know and I was singing behind him and underneath him in a lot of his, you know, previous records. So it's one of those things

we know musically how our voices are supposed to sound when they're going against each other. And because of that, I will not ask your biased opinion

of who would win the verses between Chris Brown and Usher. We'll skip that one, but let's not skip it. I still got one. I got two for you and I'm letting you out the door.

Oh, you an asshole. Okay, what? I got two for you and you're out the door. What? I've recently seen news. Oh, sure, we'll skip that one. But listen, I still got one. I got two for you and I'm letting you out the door. Oh, you an asshole. Okay, what? I got two for you and you're out the door. What? I've recently seen news. Oh, no. That Devontae Swing of Jodeci has resurfaced. He has popped back out.

He has appeared with the group. That's what the headlines are saying. Fuck the headlines. Let me what the headlines are saying. Fuck the headlines. Let me tell you what Joe says. Jodeci can't duck the smoke because they Jodeci. Jodeci has to face the blonde haired boy. They do. If there's three Jodeci members,

then y'all have to face Drew Hill. and let me be the first one to say i don't know if that's a win i tossed it to seven streeter songwriter songstress amazing what do you say you an asshole for that but let me tell you something my you know my who my first concert ever in life was it was drew hill it was my first concert ever in life it was at watermania in orlando florida and it was drew hill because i was what i was in love i'm obsessed with trying to go to water listen wait a while watermania if you listen if you from the central florida shut up I'm just telling the audience it's a water fight listen Wet n Wild Watermania

if you listen if you from the central Florida area you know about Wet n Wild and Watermania that was our spots and they had

fire ass concerts and my first concert was Drew Hill I wore some cute little bantu knocks but that was you know sidebar

but um so you think okay okay um she tried to get the whole back yeah yeah I am That was, you know, a sidebar. So you think. Okay, okay. She tried to get the whole back story. I am. I love them both. I love them both. I'm like, come on now.

Because one of my favorite songs in life, in life. Well, okay. You're just going to make me pick. One of your favorite places to go is Wet Willies I know sure anyways

Wet and Wild now we'll say Jodeci and Drew Hill that will be first of all amazing Drew Hill I'm obsessed with Drew Hill

I'm gonna have to I'm gonna go with Drew Hill in terms of there are certain reasons why it's just personal reasons why last one and I'm finished. I've asked this around, and I've said to people, I've been trying to figure out a proper opponent for Trey Songz.

I feel like his catalog is really, really long. It's insane. But where he dropped, he can't do the Tyreases and the Brian McKnights and the Joes. But where he dropped, I don't want Usher to do it. That's not fair. Who's appropriate for him? I came up with one name. I came up with one name.

I came up with one name. Okay. One name. I'm going to tell it to you, and I'm going to tell you what people said to me. I said, Trey Songz might have to stand in front of Omarion, and people said to me, Joe, you've lost your fucking mind.

Trey Songz will absolutely wash Omarion. Oh, I don't know about that. I do not agree with that I toss it to the amazing 7th Streeter and hopefully she didn't perform with any of these guys write songs for any of these guys

I'm gonna go back I have actually I've been on Trey's projects and I was in a camp with Omarion when I was young you too accomplished I will say this though a camp with Omarion when I was young you too accomplished but I will I will say this though it depends can Omarion include yes okay he can play B2K even still with that Trey it's it's it's about the amount of years and about the amount of music they put out

and Trey's I feel like he's put out way more music on top of him putting out way more music, bro. Like his music, it just kind of, it just, it lives in too many different places. I think for a lot of us with Omari's music, especially with B2K, it was a certain time frame. You know what I mean? So that's a factor. So it's a lot of different things to factor in. I don't think that that would be a fair one. I don't. I think that we got to find the right one for Trey. You know what I mean?

And honestly find the right one for Amari too. You said what? I think Trey cracks that nigga's mouth. Yeah. It's like he's, it's not, it's not. I don't know about that. Would it be too good of stuff too? Nah.

It's a different demo. I don't think it's going to resonate the same. I know. It's a way different demo for that. Okay. One zip. Oh. One nothing. Omarion.

That's a vibe. It is a vibe. Fuck him. I don't care. So you're saying Trey can't beat this? No. No? You out your fucking mind. You bugging now.

It's a point. It's a point. I'm done. I'm done. Listen. I'm back. I'm back. Listen.

It would be a good one. Omarion going to have some. He has some shit. But when that. He has to stand in front of that Ready album and that number five, he gets six, seven, eight joints off of Ready. I mean, easy. Sure.

Ready, Joe? I'm raising my hand. Mr. Button. Look, this is all I'm saying. Does Trey Songz have the catalog to beat amarion yes i'm sure he does in this particular battle much like fab and jada much like rizapreme much like uh dips headlocks i think amarion is a technician i think he will be better prepared i think he will be sober i think he will have a better lineup of his 20 songs. I think he will counter better.

And I think he could sneak a win. Could. Could. That's my man. Maybe I'm biased. I'm playing seven. Seven. I appreciate you.

Same. I hope you are still working with your whole team, this same team. Next time. Yes. I will be. Good. Same. I hope you are still working with your whole team, the same team. Next time. Yes. I will be. Good. Good. Round of applause for the amazing, the wonderful, the beautiful talented 7th Street album in stores September 17th.

Y'all, you maybe don't know anything about these people or a lot about these people or only the songs and then you meet them and you get that behind the scenes view. The real personality.

Yeah, like. I think everybody's different. Like, some people still be having their industry shit on. Like, Shorty was mad comfortable from when she... Or she seemed... Seven.

Comfortable from when she sat down. Like, she got the little... Like, you know what I'm saying? When a girl come to your crib, sit on their feet type comfortability vibe, that's what she was on. Like, she wasn't trying to give

a persona. Like, she was cursing she was just getting asking about your views though no i'm giving an example of her i'm using her for an example everybody you meet that's a celebrity don't act like that like she felt mad or she seemingly felt mad comfortable some people be like clammed up you know what i'm saying like some people be clammed up so i kind of adapt to the person you know she's great she's great she again she seemed like one of the little home girl like you know what i mean somebody you grew up with type yeah super cool and totally outside her being great i really am excited for that music make it sounded true it's nothing like when like you

waiting three years for artists to drop and then they drop and the songs don't really sound like what you was waiting for even though you really sound like what you was waiting for even though you don't know what you're waiting for because it's been a year yeah yeah right but them songs she played yeah that was your sound like that people are going to want from her it's definitely what joe want yes it is what you want Now, I don't have nothing else. I'm cool. You're the worst whisperer in the world. Yo, a pillow?

A pillow? That's what you're doing. I don't want to shout out before you even do that. Just shout out. Me and Parks are very excited. I can't speak for the rest of you gentlemen. Football is officially back. I'm super hyped.

And we are going into the first week of the real season. Super hyped. And shout out to us. Shout week of the real season super and shall say what's up to us we can't say well shit we're here fans we made it all right but yeah random football yeah I came in like Cowboys look like something last night. You know what I mean? Can't be mad at that performance. Who can't? You mad at that? Win and win. You can't win them all.

You act like the Cowboys be going 16-0. Or 15-0. I'm not happy with the consolation loss. Losing by a fucking field goal to the Super Bowl champs. I would rather play shitty and win than play great and lose. You can say whatever you want. It's about W. Of course you want the win. I'm just saying, looking at your team,

you see shit in your team to be happy about, no? Nigga, wait, what? Given what your quarterback came back off, he looked like himself. Like, this is, if I'm a Cowboys fan, I'm like, yeah, we fucking lost. I would have loved to have won this game, but God damn, my team showed me

something to be excited about yo stop bailing him out let him say that fucking Socrates shit again say what you said I'd rather an ugly wing than a dirty he think he fucking

wing yo you a hater yo you a hater hey what's that what do you think you Mike Ditka I think it's a hater

my bad Ish Lombardi god damn it Ish Lombardi What are you thinking, Mike Ditka? This nigga's a hater, yo. My bad, Ish Lombardi. God damn it. Ish Lombardi. Our rather an ugly windman are pretty long. Dallas did what Dallas does. We play to the level of competition and lose. I'm not happy with that.

Shit. It looked good on me. Oh, shit. I'm just going to say, all right, now we got it. I'm the quarterback That got burnt by AB Other than that I was home as a Giants fan Watching that shit

Man It hurt my heart Watching AB perform like that AB look like He might be AB still No he is Why y'all got Juju

Right That's why I hurt my heart Juju Juju wanna do everything But play football Everything Everything He wanna play video games

Don't fuck with his dancing No Dancing in the end zone. Oh. It's easier on the phone, though. You can do the running man all you want in the end zone. Do it in the end zone after you caught a touchdown. See, I'm fine with the bullshit as long as your on-field matches your off-field.

That's okay, though. And Brady. Yo, shout out to Brady, man. Brady's just Brady. Yeah. That linebacker you got, Diggs, looked good out there last night. You get that nigga Brady 32 seconds. That is your ass, Mr. Postman.

I thought Diggs was Parsons for a while. Yo, Ish, man. Don't say Dale DeFunke almost said his name on this podcast. They was mad, too. They was, yo, put some respect on Dale's name. I know. They act mad too. They was, y'all put some respect on Del's name. I know, they act like

I don't know who Del the funky homo sapien is. I don't know what they, I was just, I was, you missed what I was saying, you guys.

And shout out to Del the funky homo sapien. You wasn't outside. In the high row. No, I wasn't outside. Probably, what are you talking about?

He was outside for high row. You blame everything on your older brother, yo. Your older brother wasn't listening to Adele and them nigga no but that's how

I understand shit that's in that five year gap like think about the songs that I be talking about like I could really talk to you about

the radio album LL I could really kick it with you about that album sequencing what was on it the sound the single

the album cover but I wasn't fucking what was that eight seven six no radio you album cover but I wasn't what was that 8 7 6 no radio you were like 4

no you wasn't 8 I was about 9 you were 4 or 5 LL's first album is 85 86 84 85

I was like 9 oh then maybe I'm talking about the second one no what's LL's first album radio and his second album

is what walk like a panther pull it up yeah pull it up yeah pull it up he had the troops on on the album cover I think that's

Walking Like A Panther maybe and I might be fucking names up here Walking Like A Panther that was nah it's not a gap we're missing something

we're missing something damn we are shitty hip hoppers my memory I'm 41 yo but that's the thing that's why Tom Brady is so great

listen Tom Brady is 44 let me tell you what the foot what 40s is like from my bed for your bigger and different that's bigger and different from which is I need love and that's the one I'm talking about that radio name well yeah that was 86 87 so yeah 87 that's the album I'm talking about that one 87 I'm 7 years old yes helps to have an older brother

who is really copping this shit Tom Brady right I walk from my master bedroom to the master bathroom and forget

what I was thinking no bullshit like I'll be about to text somebody and be like oh shoot who was I texting or I was about

to call somebody and it's like oh shit it's like a whole total brain freeze you spent an hour on Instagram and forgot you was even supposed to call a motherfucker like you just be forgetting shit yeah and it feels it feels irresponsible but it's not you see now now nigga you wanna be responsible

your brain is leaving you you've had 40 years of fun here. You did all the drugs. You fucked the women. You've had the job you wanted. You got the fancy football player you wanted. You got money. You lost money.

People have died. People have lived. It's been carved. You've lived. Your brain is finished. Not so much. Your brain's finished with you. You're done.

Tom Brady, different. Yo, at 41, I bump into shit that's designed for you not to bump into. That's what I'm saying. Like, and it hurts.

And you hurt shit. The lower track, the shit that comes from under the truck that's supposed to suck back underneath so you don't hit your side, that come right out

and bump into you. Ow. Ouch. And. Ouch. That hurt. That hurt. Tom Brady is out there doing, this guy is a wizard.

Audibleizing and doing all this shit. I owe him an apology. There was a point in time where I argued Peyton Manning to the death. Me too.

I did. It might have even been a two season run. Yeah, yeah. Maybe three, but. Oh, I was also a hater. This is crazy. I was a hater from last year.

I always like to tell you. I'm with you. I only hate it because he fucked my team a million times. But isn't that part of the fun? I was so happy to see him go to the NFC. I rooted for Tom Brady all last year. And I'm rooting for him this year. But isn't that part of the fun with these guys being so great is that you got to hate

them? Yeah. Yeah, you have to hate the greats. Like, you got to hate Tom Brady, but you know if it's 20 seconds left, he's going to get a field goal or get you in field goal range. Uh-huh. Jordan was fun to hate. Kobe was fun to hate.

Like, you got to be the greats. LeBron's another one that's fun to hate. I was at the bar at that last possession when they were on, like, a 20-yard line after he got the beautiful reception and all that shit, and he kept throwing it away. Everyone at the bar was like, oh, see, look, he's scared to throw it. I'm like, no, he's just wasting three seconds off the clock. No, he's just killing time so that he can kick a field goal

from 30 yards, asshole. Tom Brady, check this out, dog. He in bed. I know your wife taught you to do that. That face you're doing now. Like, this is scripted. And I love it. Don't change it.

It's like after the case with Kobe when he came back with the mamba face the teeth thing he was doing when LeBron came back one offseason

kept doing that stupid shit where he flipped the ball like this and look away it's the doofiest move I've ever seen but it goes in when he does the stupid shit

fucking uh Tom Brady know he doing that shit now and it just works to his legend where you make the face on the side when you're down. He was like, I'm serious now. Tom, you were—

There was not a— You didn't sweat. You pan right to the camera. You start growling and shit. That's bullshit. But the ill part is he go out there and march right down the field. It makes it look simple. No lie, yo.

Shit's just like. No, but this is where the insult is. This is where the insult is. In the offseason, I've seen. The insult is Tom Brady go be great and then just chastise his other legendary opponents. Like he played this great ass game. Went over and fucking elbow retired Drew Brees. Hey, bum.

I told you I was better than you all the time. He retired him. Hey, he went to Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame speech to say. Just to be there. Hey. Oh, you in the hall? It'd be me, though. Make room.

I'm still playing. Make room. No, he gave him a compliment diss. He said, I'm here to make sure that he's really retired. That he's really retired. He ain't coming back. Tom. Tom.

That was dope. A, week 14 or 15, one of them later weeks last year when Aaron Rodgers was being Aaron Rodgers. And Tom came in there, beat his ass. And then they met in the playoffs, if my memory is right. And he beat his ass and went over to him after the game in game one. Aaron Rodgers was like, just walked away. And then in the offseason, I see them doing Zoom interviews together with Tom Brady and saying, no, yeah, no, get him. Yeah, Jeopardy,

get him out of here. I do away with him. I do away with him. What can you say to a guy with more rings than the league? At 44, they're going to extend them. That's the ill shit. This is the last year. It's a two-year deal, right? It's the last year.

They're going to extend them. And somebody picked him up in my fantasy league in round 10. Yeah. I am steaming. Four touchdowns, 400 yards.

Shit, the dude that picked him up in our league Gronk another one. Drafted Mahomes first round. Come on man, let me play Sleep. Who's that?

What are you doing? Fuck these Sleep old ass niggas. Nah, Tom. When Tom Brady said he wanted to play till 45 People laughed at it They did Yo, I'm playing the same record I played earlier Cause this is a vibe

What you got for us? I'm not sure. Song of this, I think, is Grace Carter's song featuring Jacob Banks. Or if it's Jacob Banks featuring Grace Carter. The song is called Blame. Better be fire. We all body this shit. Yes, that's fire.

That's fire. I blamed it on heartache. Yes, that's fine. That's fine. I blamed it on you. I hate when girls put your show on the music. I blamed it on me. It's stupid. And your energy, too.

This thing is so stupid, yeah. Now I can't even wait in the water. I'm in too deep to move. You're the only motherfucker with a radio. What'd you say? You're the only person with a radio. in the water I'm in too deep to move love is so painful your bond I wasn't looking for another but I can't Some chick said it to him like, look what you're doing to me now. I'm drunk. I'm playing you.

That's where he's calling him. I'm playing you. What's the joke? What's the joke?

Love is so painful When you're not here And I wasn just looking for another But I can't help but wonder It was a one way track Why don't you love me back? Why do temptations crack over truth? Thought you could fill the gaps

Thought I would run my back I've been a mess But I wouldn't choose I'm holding my feelings, I'm so vulnerable Got so many questions, but I love the room I do Oh, I do, oh I do It was a one-way track Why don't you let me go?

Why'd you tempt me to shout and cry over the truth? You thought you could make me go Over the truth Yo, if the choir come back in right now Oh my God Oh my God Thought I would come right back I gotta read this text Over the truth This is the best song ever made. Holy shit.
