Starting point is 00:01:38 That's dope though No I said I said why they missing out You saying what's dope about a virgin meeting a virgin yeah do you remember your first time meeting a virgin or your second or third or fourth time meeting a virgin yeah now the context of that might have changed because hoism is up yeah but if you remember meeting a virgin then why would you why wouldn't you want the young kids to experience that?
Starting point is 00:02:07 Like grow together with somebody sexually. Yeah, like again, I remember my first, first like real adult relationship, she was a virgin. Oh, nah. I never slept with a virgin. But you met some. In your life? Never in my life. But you met some. I met some, sure.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I'm sure. How often do you think the younger kids get to meet one now? That is far. As they're dating at 19, 20, 21, 22. I was catching the bus in the hood at 17, 18.

Today, what do they see that makes them see value in virginity? That. You right. That's what I'm saying. I don't think an 18, 19-year-old male wants to meet a virgin today. There's nothing that would appease them about a virgin.

Starting point is 00:15:57 Parks is here. Ish is here. Ice is here. And the whole video village is back there somewhere listening to Young Thug's album. How's everybody doing? This is great. Y'all lit? We gonna get to it?

Starting point is 00:16:13 We gonna keep this rolling. Touring. Do y'all think about it? Does it crush your mind? Is it a fear like speaking? It used to be America's number one fear. I think it still is. It's up there.
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's still up there. Yeah, it gotta be up there. It's up there. It's still up there. Yeah, it's got to be up there. It's up there. Public speaking is not a fear. Which is hilarious. Why? Because you've done hosting tours and shows and shit. But the touring?
Starting point is 00:16:34 I told y'all, I was like, nah. Well, that's the flip side. Yeah, you're thinking the tour is like hopping in the Sprinter van and driving for two weeks or something like that. No. Oh. I meant what the show consisted of on the tour. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:47 That's what had me parked up. Yeah. That's the fun part. We can make it whatever we want to make it. For you, it would be an adjustment in terms of lifestyle, I would think. A new father. A new family. Right?
Starting point is 00:17:00 So how do you insert that in the mix? Cause that can be tough. It can. Well, maybe not so much in pod land. With the way that we tour, it wouldn't be that hard. It's weekends.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Weekend gigs. We do like a boutique style of touring. And it's fun. And it's fun. It makes it tough to say no to the money. It's nice hotels. I was going to say that's, that's the flip.
Starting point is 00:17:22 It's nice sprinter vans. You asked me how adjusting to that. The money. I'm just letting y'all know. Just so we're clear, I'm saying no to the money to give my guys an ample runway to be comfy when we out there.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I'm cool with that. Is there such a thing though? Yeah, it's true. You told us a while back. I'm like, fam, look, I'm going to be honest. The venues would love for people to come out. And they're trying to get people to come out. All you got to do is look out there. Everybody's doing something.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Before a potential lockdown comes back, too. They trying to leave. And not even that. The people that they know could fill out a venue, they're calling them. Yeah. And they're reaching out to them. And they're offering money. But nah, not all money.
Starting point is 00:18:06 That shouldn't be the first time. You should be as comfy as possible when you get out there. And part of that, yes. Yes. I think the comfortability comes from experience. Doing it, for sure. Antoine, listen. Listen to this. Because you about to get in the technical world,
Starting point is 00:18:24 and I just want to keep throwing shit at you. No, no, no, I shit at you let me throw but let me throw something at you before you do any of that uh as as we stand today what's today october october october right 16th i think uh maybe maybe i'll share some business they shot something over there said yo big gig christmas new year's nj pack how do you feel and that's still sitting there, right? You know how I feel? You know what I hear when I hear that? NJ Pack is huge. Where you from?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Nope. Where you from? Where I'm from? Jersey City. First show. Show number one. Hometown. Big, beautiful theater, hometown.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Everybody coming out. Now, I toss back to you. Give it to us. What you were saying? Joe says no. I think he shows up. Everybody coming out. Now, I toss back to you. Give it to us. What you were saying? Joe says no. I think he shows up. I say no. But I say no.
Starting point is 00:19:10 And even if that would have happened, that would never happen, show one. Right. That would never happen, show one. For two people that's never, ever done it. You've been around enough, show one. I know. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And you done fucked up some show ones too, nigga. Probably. Not, nigga. No. I'm done with that. Yo, no, listen. What I'm saying is nigga. I'm done with that. No, listen. What I'm saying is this. I don't think we could ever... You ain't let me get it out.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I don't think we could ever really feel comfortable until you did it. Right? And you know I'm a shy guy. So I got friends today like, yo, I can't believe that I'm seeing you on a podcast talking every fucking week. And you're doing a phenomenal job, by the way. That's new to me. That's not really my thing. And you're doing a phenomenal job.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I'm not trying to be funny. Give him a button. I'm trying to give you some flowers. Give him a button. I tell this shit all the time. So... You fucking week. And you're doing a phenomenal job. That's new to me. And you're doing a phenomenal job. That's how it be funny. Give him a button. I'm trying to give you some flowers. Let me give you a button. I tell you that all the time. So, until you do, let's say you did two tour dates,
Starting point is 00:19:54 three tour dates, four, now that's where your comfortability lies. We've never been on tour. So you can't say that, I don't care if we did a thousand pods, right? Until you go on tour, you're not going to feel comfortable.
Starting point is 00:20:07 But, now let me, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm just kidding. I agree with that. Your first show being your hometown, where everybody you know is coming out, that's added pressure on top of it being your first show. It's putting game seven first. It can or it cannot be, depending on the person. Some people might actually welcome
Starting point is 00:20:25 that comfortable environment. Well, you can feel good because you're home and now you're getting that home love. Exactly. But, just in the research
Starting point is 00:20:32 I've done, performance wise, it probably won't be your best show. Your first show. It's possible. Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:41 when you say I fucked up the first show, you gotta take that and build on it and get better on the show. It's no different than the first pod. Why would you fucked up the first show, if anybody that's performed has fucked up the first couple shows. and get better on the shows. It's no different than the first pod. Then why would you want to do that
Starting point is 00:20:48 to your hometown? And that's where your comfortability is. Because they might be a little bit more forgiving. It's no different than the first pod. Let me tell you something. That's where your comfortability comes. I hear that.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Yeah. Let me tell you where Joe Budden's headspace is. When New Jersey Pac sees me, you want to be shot, polished. It's going to be a movie, and I don't even use that word. Yeah, I feel you. But it's going to be shot polished it's gonna be a movie and I don't even use that word
Starting point is 00:21:06 yeah I feel you but it's gonna be you're talking to somebody that throughout my career I didn't really perform in New Jersey because of the
Starting point is 00:21:14 stipulations of New York and New Jersey and those still exist where they say what's the shit we used to do all the time it was like a house out there in Jersey
Starting point is 00:21:22 yeah deep deep deep yeah that was in South Jersey old house deep yeah that was in south jersey but even that was because of the mal stipulations i'll give it to ish and i'll give it to the people that don't know if you're performing in new york and you're from new jersey they'll say that's nah we're expecting your new jersey audience to go to new york and you can't perform for this amount of days from this date and this so many this amount of days from this date and this amount of miles from this date.
Starting point is 00:21:45 That's why Stan Hope used to get the love. That's why. And they went crazy for us, man. They went crazy. Yo, some of these little venues that we visited. It was a crib. It's a crib in the middle of Jersey. But they went so crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Yeah, that was love over there. Nah, they don't get as many acts. Yeah. So it's real appreciation. You know what I'm saying? Of course. Like, if you're in New York, you're in a major city, you're in get as many acts. Yeah. So it's real appreciation. You know what I'm saying? Of course. If you're in New York, you're in a major city, you're in Philly, D.C., whatever the case may be, they may take it with a grain of salt.
Starting point is 00:22:11 But when you out in wherever, they don't have jokers coming through there like that. It's true. And the funny shit is, I could have this tour talk all day, but I won't. Me too. I won't. I'm talking to a geeky like that. I missed it. Funny thing is, what I'm saying to you about New Jersey,
Starting point is 00:22:26 the more I think of the other spots, and that's why I say no to it all. I don't want y'all to have that feeling at the other spots either. Because, like, L.A. is a big show. Chicago's a big show. Atlanta be the big, big, big show. Atlanta be lit. Fucking where else?
Starting point is 00:22:43 Houston, Dallas, big. They be big shows.. They be big shows. They all be big shows. And you now, I was talking to him about lifestyle and just inserting tour life into his new family life. You though, I got a whole nother set of issues when it come to you. We can discuss. We can move forward. Pun intended.
Starting point is 00:23:04 But you that dude so you gonna be that dude wherever we go and that's gonna be a problem you gonna have to turn down your that dude-o-meter honestly I'm not even joking with you
Starting point is 00:23:15 you hear me seriously look at me in my face look at me in my face you gonna have to turn that down and I don't think you know how to do that at your big age like he still wanna go to Dallas hit the mall be in lids I don't think you know how to do that at your big age.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Like, he still want to go to Dallas, hit the mall, be in Lids, fucking hit the food court. Be in Lids. He want to call some Ne-Yo. Let's hit the food court right now. Yeah, man. You got to watch this guy. He said Lids like it's Lids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Because you think your DMs go crazy now. And we don't have those talks. I don't know because we don't have those talks we don't i don't know because we don't have those talks i know that shortly after you started this podcast you activated your socials i can assume there's been more traffic than it was when your socials were dead right and i can assume that some of the stuff they're talking to you about is your takes here your opinions they see you now more than they've seen you so So it ups the volume, which scares women, but that's a talk for another time. Why that scares women? We'll stuff that.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So if you're getting ready to go on tour, the nature of those messages will begin to change. If you don't turn your that do to me to down. Okay. That's true. He's right. You want me to tell you? I'm not disagreeing with him. No, he don't disagree, but you want me to tell you I'm not what I know he don't disagree but you want me to tell you what I think he heard from what I just
Starting point is 00:24:28 said I know we got a real good show lined up for y'all today day. You want to start with some music? Yeah, why not? The music is out. Absolutely. It wasn't a ton. It was enough. But this year's been really kind of quiet to me. The year? Yeah. Musically? Shut up.
Starting point is 00:24:58 This is a loud music year. I disagree. I'm used to pulling three, four albums a week that I gotta listen to. And this year is like pulling three, four albums a week that I got to listen to. And this year is like maybe one, one in a possible. Shut up,
Starting point is 00:25:10 Park. I'm serious. But Park's is a hip hop hit more so than a R&B hit. I'm both. Yeah, I listen to both. I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:25:17 but that's your prefer. I'm used to pulling three, four albums every single Friday. This year it's one, this week it was, Doug shit didn't drop till this morning so I didn't pull any albums last night.
Starting point is 00:25:28 We said that this would be the year of... Or I said, and I thought you agreed, that this would be the year of... The superstar comeback. Yeah. And we got that a little bit, for sure. A little bit? A little bit. Who we missing? That's what it's been. Kendrick and Rihanna. Rihanna. No comment.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm talking about rap. Rap superstars. We got most of them. Only Kendrick. Andihanna. And they both, Rihanna, no comment. I'm talking about rap. Rap superstars. We got most of them. Only Kendrick. Only Kendrick. And he's coming. He's coming. We got most of them. And he's coming.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I'm like, who else do I want to hear from? There's no big act that I want to hear from outside of the big ones, Rihanna, Beyonce, but they always have a place in my heart.
Starting point is 00:25:59 But the big artists usually only drop once a year, maybe once every year and a half, right? Every other. And then the rest of it is filled with more up-and-coming acts, established underground acts, and stuff like that. And they've been a little bit quieter this year. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:26:12 But you would be quiet if they, too, can tell that the year is reserved for the big ass. I know this is their year. Adele announced last week, and we're going to talk about some of this stuff, announced last week. That's just last week. Yo we're going to talk about some of this stuff. Announced last week. That's just last week. Yo. November such and such. I don't know the date, so I won't say it. But she said, yo, November such and such.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Get ready to be sad. You know what that says? Move. Move. Get ready to be sad. No, it says move. But it also says to the artist, move. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:26:44 If you are up and coming actor and you're not as established, you're not trying to plan around Adele's drop date, SZA's drop date. Or even if you was, it was, oh shit, we got to move. Summer's drop date as an artist, even if you don't respect these people's artistry, you know the money behind them. True.
Starting point is 00:27:02 So you know the real estate that they're going to take up. We've had this conversation before, so I the money behind them. True. So you know the real estate that they're going to take up. We've had this conversation before, so I disagree a little bit. Well, because you as an independent artist, while Adele drops, you want to drop too. I want to be right there on the same screen. So the artist that's looking to make a ton
Starting point is 00:27:18 of numbers off of this, and Adele's dropping, I want to move. I want to make Adele's music, I'd move. But if I don't make a dollar's music, I want to be right there. No, I don't want to be right there. What it do? I want to be sitting right next to her. Scroll right down the sideline.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I'm not mad at your decision making. I just don't think that's widespread. I agree. Or, if you're a middle level artist, right? No disrespect. It's-level artist, right? I don't want no disrespect. No, of course not.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It's heavy hitters, right? Yeah, yeah, no. Shit is just opening back up. Right. You make your money from touring. No doubt. That's another part of it. So that's still kind of up in the air with all of the states, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:27:59 You don't want to release a project, and then you can't maximize on your project. A lot of money. And that, I will just throw this in to Park's's point and that's where i would have a tough decision because as an act whatever level i'm in a b c well not a not a because they're going back but b c d my touring i have to book out three to six to eight months before i even drop. Yeah. So me moving my drop. Is that how it works? Yeah. Me moving my drop date if Adele is dropping means my team might have to
Starting point is 00:28:32 readjust my touring and that could be an issue. I've been faced with that before and I went on tour. I think whatever happened, there was no love lost. I went on tour the first week it was out and nobody knew a thing. Nobody knew any of the words but we couldn't move it. We got to go. So I would factor that in.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Yeah. That's all. That's part of it. That's part of it. But let's start. I didn't want to start with Adele because I She dropped first.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Let's start with Adele man. Alright then let's start with Adele. Can somebody play it? Yeah I got you. Somebody play it and say positive things. I will. No I heard it.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I like that shit. I'll get know the ledge ready the ledge is back the ledge is back for me I can't speak for nobody else I'm gonna cry in my chair get ready to cry in my car. Get ready to cry in a glass of red wine. What's the name of this song?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Easy On Me? Easy On Me. Brand new Adele. It's called Easy On Me. YouTube, we letting this rock right now. Sorry. There is hope in these waters. There's hope in these waters But I can't bring myself to swim When I am drowning in this silence
Starting point is 00:29:54 Baby, let me go Please, help me, baby I'm not a doggy I'm still a child Didn't get the chance to Feel Get sad, buddy I'm the sad king
Starting point is 00:30:17 You don't have to tell me to get sad I was sad before I played What I chose to do Alright Alright Alright I was sad before it played. All right. All right. All right. Let's get a little lightweight round of applause for what Adele is doing here. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I fucked with that shit. I ain't really care for it as the first single. I saw it the other day, and the video's kind of cool. Video's up. But as the first single, it ain't really hit like her other first singles hit. That's because she's giving you sad this time. She's giving you the divorce album. Her single's going to be some sad. Now you got to call somebody that wrote that Mary shit.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You got to call them. Adele's writing room is not thinking that. What you mean? I don't know. Asshole. But you get what I'm saying? It just didn't hit like her first singles from the other projects. I think it's going to work.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I like the song though. It just wasn't a wham to me. But anything Adele is going to work, right? Farns? Yeah, I guess. The last album
Starting point is 00:31:16 that didn't work, worked. That's true. That's true. Because it's Adele. I didn't like the singles off the last album that much when they first dropped. But the last album
Starting point is 00:31:23 didn't get the greatest. You can't really escape them and now you know them. That album didn't get the greatest reviews when it dropped. Yeah, if I recall. And I'm no Adele expert.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Please don't get your Adele news from me. I'm sure it still sold a bazillion copies. I know she did a vid with Mack Wilds. I didn't know that. I think that was the last album.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, that was a good look for Mack. Ice. I know this ain't your bag. She don't have any bodies or weapons. I can't even shoot nothing. She got shooters. She ain't even ever shoot nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:53 She probably do got shooters. She probably do got shooters. She wouldn't dirty her hands. They wouldn't even call her phone with this nonsense. It's already handled. Yeah. What got handled? Nothing, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Nothing, ma'am. Go to sleep. What do you mean? Go to sleep. Nothing, ma'am. Ice, you got something for us no this ain't your bag ain't your wheelhouse sorry that's fine bring back and i bring back people saying hey i don't know yeah oh yeah i'm cool that should be we should
Starting point is 00:32:14 make that hot again yeah that's real we don't hear that no more um or i was wrong that one too i said ice is good with uh i try to be good with that. Ice is good. I try to. Ice is good with the wrongs. No. Is Ishard Dale expert? No. You got anything for us here?
Starting point is 00:32:31 I thought it was great, man. I think it's a good song. No, it's a good song. I'm excited for the project, actually. It didn't hit me as the first single off your new project. I'm more excited for this off the first single than I was off the last one off the first single. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:44 She's beautiful now. Not that she wasn't beautiful before. But this look on her. You know how when people lose a lot of weight, sometimes I don't want to say this and y'all not understand what I'm saying. She won't go through that though because she's filthy rich. She looks great. She does.
Starting point is 00:33:00 But we understand what you're saying. I'm of the small community. Hey. You got the tippy toes over the leg. I got enough to go around. And the thought takes place uptown. I grew up on a sidewalk While on the street talking hot
Starting point is 00:33:26 The whole New York Oh my God You know what that is Ice? Yes Oh no I ain't saw Juice Yeah like Ice was in third grade
Starting point is 00:33:35 I saw Juice But he saw Juice He was in third grade When Juice came out? What year was Juice? 91 or 2 or something like that Juice was early though 91?
Starting point is 00:33:45 What grade was you in? that was early he was probably third grade don't do that don't age yourself don't age yourself that song was different bro listen I'm of the small
Starting point is 00:33:55 community of people that believe all of the Adele songs sound exactly the same oh yeah I feel you now I'm not gonna ridicule her about it
Starting point is 00:34:04 because if it ain't broke don't break it and if that's your sound that's your sound and that's how you feel when you the top of the food chain like she is like ariana grande is like when you peg your sound they get the best architects in the world true to help deliver your sound so i think she works with the same producer a lot of the time too. Elmhurst or I think his name is. I forgot what his name is. So this sounds big
Starting point is 00:34:29 and beautiful and Adele-ish. Yeah. Oh, Greg Kirsten. Yeah. I'm probably not going to listen to it. This is not like, yeah, I'm not hitting the gym and putting on Adele or fucking riding around in the whip with the windows down. But where are you going to hit when you listen to this?
Starting point is 00:34:46 In your life, you, your life today. I'd probably put this on if we was chilling in the backyard. You put this on when it just came out and you want to hear it. Parks. Parks. I like throwing on some sad sometimes. I've been in your backyard party, dog. You want me to tell you about all your wife's friends that come in?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Want me to tell you about your friends that come in? Listen, it's not coming on at your kickback. You can say it. Nothing's wrong with that. No, I'm not saying a kickback. There's a bunch of people here, but sometimes we'll throw on some fucking Bob Dylan or something. Get sad real quick. And this would fall in that category.
Starting point is 00:35:21 That's when I had to the coach. Will you put my jacket again yo good seeing you yo sometimes it's nice to have a nice sad music off I like that I want you on that part
Starting point is 00:35:34 we do that sometimes at the end of the night this ain't gonna go to my sad playlist either this is not this is not our sad this is not gonna go on my sad
Starting point is 00:35:41 no it probably won't now and we back in a new we've unearthed a new dope topic. A sad off. The range in sad. There's a lot of different sads. There's mad sads.
Starting point is 00:35:53 There is. You're right. This is just a deep level of sad with the chords and what's going on and her topics and her melodies. This is a different level of sad. I like my sad a little more peppy. Moving mountains. Aggressive. Even Black Cloud I tried to get a little aggressive.
Starting point is 00:36:13 But I guess that's the same thing. Same kind of sad. Sort of. Sam Smith stay with me versus everything else Sam Smith has tried to do. I feel you. And that's the difference. And that's the difference. And that's the difference. When you're at the top of the food chain
Starting point is 00:36:29 and when you miss at the plate the next few times you get up there, they won't give Sam Smith all the sad hits to make him do what he gotta do. They just make him go in the studio by himself. We ain't heard another peep. You said that before. I'm gonna keep saying it.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Because if you listen to Stay with me and his first album and his first oh i think that's his first album the album would stay with me crazy man listen i had sad sessions with the women in my life we just sat and listened and trauma bonded when that was out me you and you had that conversation before. He ain't gave me no trauma bond since. I like a little trauma bond. Some people like bond the cologne. I like a little That's me.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Trauma bonding could get sexy now. That's good. And they be having a fire. That's where the trauma came from. Sad girls? That's where the trauma came from. Shout out to the sad girls. Shout out to Adele.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I'm going to listen to the album. Your song sounds beautiful But it's just Not for me Yeah And I'm cool with that There's nothing wrong With saying
Starting point is 00:37:31 Yo It's just not for me More people should do that It ain't for me But I can appreciate What it is You know what I'm saying I can say this
Starting point is 00:37:38 Sounds great She's singing The composition is beautiful The video looks great It's dope It's dope I'm not gonna Like I said I'm not gonna play it every dope It's dope I'm not gonna Like I said
Starting point is 00:37:45 I'm not gonna play it every day It's false advertising Like Beyonce with single ladies When she was happily married Every picture we see Of Adele in recent months She looks like the happiest woman In the world
Starting point is 00:37:56 Cause she fell in love Now you gonna give me An album of sad But this could be I might have been writing this Last year Yeah she could have been writing this While she was going through
Starting point is 00:38:03 The sad shit Dude got some money from her, right? Did he? Did he? Yeah, that might be reason to be more sad. She could have an alimony song on here. Hell yeah. Shout out to Adele, man.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I'm really happy that she's happy and in love and that she's coming. Again, another major, huge, A-list superstar artist coming. Fourth quarter. It feels like the old days. It feels like when music dropped on Tuesdays. And we got summer. We got breakup record after breakup record. Listen.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Different types of breakup records. I wish I heard this record before I spoke to Just last week, Justice I just would have liked to have heard this record before I spoke to him Adele dropping her record and release date Six weeks Or four to six weeks. Out. Five weeks, somewhere like that. Out.
Starting point is 00:39:11 That is an official single, and that's her rollout. When Summer drops this song two weeks before her release date, is it the same? Two weeks before her release date, is it the same? Is it looked at as an official single and the label just is deciding to let it run through release versus five, six weeks leading up to? That's my question. I know I sound like a technical guy here. No, no. I'm trying to wrap it up. No, I'm following you.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Is this looked at, this song looked at as an official single versus one of the leaked tracks every week? I forgot what they call them. I know what you mean. Hmm. Because it's only two weeks away, her album. I guess. This feels like single. It sounds like the thought behind it was single.
Starting point is 00:39:58 And the feature tells me single. Yeah. And the bop says single. But two weeks ahead of time, who Who knows let's play a little bit Shout out the summer walker shout the just Shout out the JT as well. This is song is called X for a reason Or proud and drop in November 5th, I think Now, I won't hate on this bop so far because I love black, boom like a 808. I love Ghost Town DJs, my boo, and I think these all classics to me.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Like, I like the bop. I see where they were trying to go here, right? But today, you would have to reintroduce that bop Today With how R&B sounds Unless you're in Miami Unless you're in Miami You would need to reintroduce this bop So I like her trying to do that I like it
Starting point is 00:41:12 I like that part I'm just worried that all of that And I said this last week And I'll leave it alone But if all the big R&B songstress superstars are going to put out music angry at men, then it's just going to be a long winter of trying to get people to come by the fireplace and eat marshmallows. Remember when that used to work? Come get some toasted marshmallows. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You said that line before? Yeah. Toasted marshmallows? Toasted marshmallows. I, my God. You said that line before? Yeah. Yeah. Toasted marshmallows? Toasted marshmallows. I used to have a fire pit in my yard. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:53 They used to love the fire pit. I believe you, bro. And hot chocolate works. You the man. S'mores? Come on. Who doesn't like s'mores? Ish, apparently. I'm black.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Ish likes s'mores. I'm black, man. Look at why Ish is calling me. It's debatable. Look at why Ish is calling me. Look at why Ish is calling me the man. Look at why Ish is calling me the man. Because marshmallows work. I know.
Starting point is 00:42:08 I would have never thought. The simple date used to work. And you know that. I know. I never had a girl say, yo, come on over my crib and let me marshmallow you out. I never had that. That's hard. They never said that because they don't have a fire pit back there.
Starting point is 00:42:22 But when they come over and you introduce them to the fire pit and the marshmallows. It's the vibe. Nice little blanket. Hudson. Cool night. Hudson. The night is a fail if she ain't ask you
Starting point is 00:42:31 to go get a little blanket. Just a little nippy. A little something. Just a t-shirt. No, not outside. No, at the temperature that I keep my house. There's not a t-shirt in there.
Starting point is 00:42:42 You're going to need a blanket. See, I used to do the opposite. And outside at the fire pit you get a little blanket Africa Africa you crazy you going to be in here for an hour
Starting point is 00:42:56 you going to ask for shorts you not going to get a single room on tour let me just tell you You gonna be in a double room Probably with me I'm in a relationship We gonna have to watch each other work That's like when air mattresses was in the group
Starting point is 00:43:16 That bum ass stroke he was doing on that air mattress That shit was so trash This guy is a nutcase, bro. Oh, man. Bitch live together. Yo, we gonna bring up some Patreon shit. Yo, me and you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:43:32 You don't remember when you did the bullshit? I did man bullshit. It was all bullshit. It was a girl that I dealt with very, very briefly. He had an argument with her on social media. She said, yo, my man was busting you down. I know exactly
Starting point is 00:43:49 what you're talking about, too. I wasn't as involved as I am today. I had no business saying that. And I owe that young lady an apology if I ever say it. What the fuck you talking about?
Starting point is 00:44:06 You threw me in the mix. Who knew that you was my man? But her. See? Look. He knew. Everybody knew. Oh, then I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:14 We wasn't even speaking. People was calling my phone like, damn, nigga, Joe just threw you on Twitter. I'm like, what? What happened? Yeah. See? Look, we not even talking. We just we not even talking I see the nigga In the palace
Starting point is 00:44:26 He says yo man Your palace I gotta apologize To you guys I gotta apologize To you cause I just threw your business Out there but
Starting point is 00:44:35 You was busting Her ass on the green carpet Was it a nice carpet at least I don't know Oh man When I was 31 years old It's alright bro We can move along
Starting point is 00:44:48 I'm just saying It's cool We can move along bro Let's just move on Yeah yeah yeah Well back to Summer Back to Summer's album Yo
Starting point is 00:44:57 And this record Alright so back to Summer Back to this Can I tell y'all what I think? I hear this And then I hear what Justice said on the phone. I'm worried. About?
Starting point is 00:45:08 He said, everything you're thinking, you're imagining, this album's going to sound totally different. Right? Uh-huh. And then I hear this. I'm 100% worried. He fine now.
Starting point is 00:45:18 You thinking that this is going to be sound? If what I'm thinking, Summer Walker to be giving us, based off of the last project, you got her manager saying, if we're if what i'm thinking summer walker to be given us based off of the last project you got her manager saying if you're thinking that it's going to be totally different and now i hear this i am worried about this album i take like now going back what i said oh i'm still looking forward to it i don't know this is your first single i'm definitely still looking forward to it i'm'm worried. A thousand percent.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I'm still going to listen. I'm going to buy it, of course, because I want to hear the album. But Summer. Those two things adding together. Summer for me is undoubtedly her. She's one of them. She's her. This album, I just need to see how much her she is without him.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Because London is really him when it comes to what he does. He's good. That's true. he's good at what he does this song isn't a great indication of summer without london you said it's not no gotcha for me but i'm a guy women might hear this that are going through things with their ex and feel like this is pumping them up a little bit. This might be that energetic sad opposite of what Adele did. It hit me as a summer song, though. No pun intended. Like, if she would have dropped this in, like, May-ish, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Like, this might have popped for the summer. This too upbeat for this. This is too, again. But when she started like this, if it stays here, which is what I thought would happen, it was like, uh-oh, London, you in trouble. Yeah, she getting ready to go. She about to go.
Starting point is 00:46:53 But to go from this to... Where is this song intended to play? Besides in women's hearts. Miami. It's a summery song. It does feel like it. I could have heard this on the radio in the summer. Yeah, it feels outside-y. Yo, bitch, yo.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah, I could have heard that in the summer. Girls walking around with heels and shorts. Yeah. Now look how this starts. Real mellow, and then the beat comes in. Same way. And I remember what this song did. Listen to what this song is about. say that I sped it up just to see
Starting point is 00:47:54 what he does to the bottom we might be snitching we might be snitching. We might be snitching. I'm speculating here. I don't know the thought process behind this. But if this Ghost Town shit was ever a thought to have like this kind of bop,
Starting point is 00:48:23 they should have sped this beat up and now not wrote this song this way. That's my opinion. Because this is more fun. Speeding it up is a little more fun for me maybe not that fast I can see what you're to grow on me, but... This ain't need to do no growing. This was it. The kids don't know. When this came out, that was it.
Starting point is 00:49:02 That will never not be fire. That will never not be fire That will never not be fire I'm holding I'm reserving judgment On Summer's project Maybe this will sound better In flow of the project And I do still think
Starting point is 00:49:15 She's gonna have an amazing project Cause she's her This song though Not for me And I'm not the target audience With it I concur I would need to hear from the women This song, no, not for me, and I'm not the target audience with it. I concur.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I would need to hear from the women that are going to sing along with this. Yo, you're my ex for a reason. Maybe they're empowered. I get all that. Again, like I said, take that, add it to the conversation with her manager telling us that whatever you expected, it's not going to be none of that. All right. I see this is is gonna be a different album now i hate go ahead this is the first single it's track two so if this is where you're going might be setting the pace yeah but then you know track two says a lot about your album i normally skip to track two to see where you're taking me but you know what albums though nowadays, when you
Starting point is 00:50:05 get halfway down, they pivot. Sometimes. They start going somewhere else. I don't think the whole album. With these long albums, they just throw some bullshit halfway through. That's really what happens now. Well,
Starting point is 00:50:20 not to be ignorant because I'm not. I'm evolved now but this song is also another example of what happens on the flip side of X for a reason because sometimes the girl is saying you my X for a reason but the guy is saying it at the same time
Starting point is 00:50:38 the girl's version never explores that if I'm London then yeah. You are my ex. I'm your ex for a reason. A reason. This is a part of that reason.
Starting point is 00:50:55 And now I'm just going to have fun watching. I would like to see Summer get the last laugh in that one. I'm a feminist. I was just about to ask you why. Because London's that dude already.
Starting point is 00:51:10 She is too. So is she? No, she's not. No, she's not. How isn't she? She's in the tops. Okay. Let me explain myself.
Starting point is 00:51:21 She's her. But that's because she's her creatively and we all know it. She's had one successful album. She just got here. She's new on the block. London's business and businesses are established if nobody ever says his name again. His talent is etched. His phone will never
Starting point is 00:51:38 not ring. I agree with that. There. They've been slandering him for fucking the last year and a half and Phone's still ringing story not a thing and i fuck with london but i'd like summer i'd like summers and as a music fan as a music fan you don't want to hear summer's album and say damn i wish london was there you want to hear summer's album and think damn we get we get five to ten more years of this amazingness? We don't want to think that she has to lean on somebody, and we don't feel like that right now.
Starting point is 00:52:10 No. Even with this song, we don't feel like that. And I don't want us to leave this album feeling like that. So I hope that she performs. And I want to see her perform. I want to see her show. Good point. JT was an interesting feature choice, but I get it.
Starting point is 00:52:26 For this bop? Yeah. And for this message. And for this message. No, no, it makes sense. No, it makes sense. It makes all the sense in the world. It makes sense, man.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Listen, we two weeks away. I can't wait. I can't wait. Same. That's what I got. That's what I got for her. Same. At midnight when music was released
Starting point is 00:52:45 i was searching for the summer song and i couldn't find there was hiccups with that and uh thug shit i couldn't i couldn't get until this morning i also didn't see the young thug project in the new releases yeah i only knew about it because all the southern people i follow on instagram instagrammed it and that makes me really angry that music drops and you can have no idea you know what i'm thinking is happening joe because i i imagine small artists but look i saw it when we were trying to small i said imagine what they're going to listen i saw it when i was trying to purchase trying to purchase the Thug album. I think they focus in so much more on streaming.
Starting point is 00:53:28 They are. They don't give a fuck what's going on in the iTunes store. It's true. Yeah. It's true. You go in the iTunes. Because we buy our music. So we go in the iTunes store.
Starting point is 00:53:38 We're dinosaurs. I do boom. I stream first, and then I purchase. And download. So in there, it's just Wild Wild West, man. Good luck. Go find it. You type Thug Name.
Starting point is 00:53:49 It should be the first thing at the top. Yeah. No, it's not. You scroll all the way down. You still can't find it. You actually have to type his name and the project name. And then it'll pop up. And it pops up at like number six.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Damn. Which is nuts. That's a lot to have to look for one of your previous artists in hip-hop hell yeah however we're here young thugs album has dropped i haven't heard it yet i've only heard the songs that parks has played since i've been here and wow this shit is incredible man wow it's young thug unplugged first of all there's like half of it is acoustic records there's drums alone like maybe five songs. I love that.
Starting point is 00:54:26 I'm so phony. I'm phony because I love that from him. I hate it from most people. Yeah. He different. Nah, I heard about six, seven songs. That shit is crazy. He makes his voice an instrument.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And I think that's where he can do the acoustic thing and weave in and out with the beat. He just different. Thug can do shit that a lot weave in and out with the beat. He's just different. Thug can do shit that a lot of artists can't do on a record. That shit Vars was playing. Man. Man. Me too, though. I wish that keeping it real really was contagious Cause I be showing love always made with fashion But that's what's in my heart, I can never change it
Starting point is 00:55:08 I just wish that these were reciprocated I told my lawyer, change the situation Told the judge that I was always faking But I know it's in my heart and I feel it baking To the Lego on my boys, that would be amazing Tryna blink out every time I'm in the different spaces Bought that same little Ferrari and told him keep it basic Put up on them same little boys told him to get the racing
Starting point is 00:55:32 She don't even know what it is I feel like the first time I heard him was with Wayne But I could be wrong about that First time I heard him Was with Gucci I was about to say I thought Up under Gucci camp I think Yep that's what it is It was Gucci Because of Gucci I think he a gambler
Starting point is 00:55:52 I read some shit Or I saw some shit Where they said that Him and Gucci Be gambling all the time And losing hundreds Of thousands of dollars I think that's Gucci's man
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah it says here He put out three mixtapes And then caught the attention of Gucci. Okay. The A&R to the streets. And signed them. Gucci dropped something this week, too, I think. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:56:10 So, Icy Boyz. We'll get to that. Okay. This dog album's great, man. I only ask because when you find people, and I'm in music geek mode. Sorry. When you find people, you project. So, you kind of almost got to envision what they're going to sound like
Starting point is 00:56:26 after they're developed after you that they learn when you put them through whatever rap boot camp you're putting them through or artistry boot camp this project just on this song alone yeah sounds like full culmination of whatever somebody saw ages ago. And we saw a little bit of that, and I'm speaking on, what's the album where he had the lavender dress on that I thought was so beautiful? Jeffrey. Jeffrey album. That album.
Starting point is 00:56:56 That album was amazing. Yeah, it was. Every song. This right here. This one is sneaking up though. I'm not the, I'm a big Young Thug fan, but not where I know his discography super deep. But this album is up there to me. Turn that back on. I really only be knowing the popular songs, but that shit you.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Turn that back on. I don't pass the torch I pour syrup when I'm hoarse I whore Out and I wreck a core I took my string and I remade the song I wish that keeping it real really was contagious Cause I be showing love always make me face you But that's what's in my heart I can never change it I just wish that things were reciprocated They always told me I be going places Now I'm just surrounded by these different faces But all of this
Starting point is 00:57:45 comes with hatred. I wish they'd keep it in real. But I count this in the big acts that are dropping that shit. He one of them. He didn't take off. He dropped
Starting point is 00:58:00 last year in 2019 too, I believe. The album in a deluxe. He didn't really take much time off. My perception of Young Thug, I just don't expect him to not drop when big acts are dropping. And none of the big acts drop without calling his phone. I just know how they feel about him. He's revered.
Starting point is 00:58:22 As he should be. And this album kinda is saying why I saw a little baby post on Instagram yo this is the one this is the dude
Starting point is 00:58:30 this is I'm not me without him and it's just good to see that from a young Atlanta lineage paying it forward
Starting point is 00:58:38 to like where they got it from mhm even look at this cover even look at the Young Thug album cover cover's crazy like this dude is Even look at the Young Thug album cover. Cover's crazy.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Like, this dude is on some... What the hell is that? Thug is different. Thug is really art. Yo, to put that... He does what his music is. This album is making me want to go somewhere this weekend.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Nah, look, as a young kid, to put that as an album cover, that just speaks about who he is. I don't know how old he is. I don't know how old he is i don't know how he is i don't think he old probably he's 27 fam for 30 he's 30 for a 30 year old 35 year old to have that as an album cover it speaks volumes about how they think you know what i'm saying that's dope it's tough in that in that 30 31 32 33 year, 33-year-old bracket of rap. Like, that's where they at.
Starting point is 00:59:27 It's killers that's 31, 32, 33 around there. I'd hate to have to deal with them. That late 20s, early 30s? Like, those are the veterans. Boy, that's a scary thing for a new act coming in. Like, when I was a new act coming in, our vets was, was like real vets. So we could get away with saying, hey, get these old
Starting point is 00:59:48 niggas the fuck out of here and make some room for the new blood. You can't say that today. There's a difference too, Joe. The vets today fuck with the young niggas. See, our vets didn't. There was a big divide. That age divide. Like,
Starting point is 01:00:04 Doug and all of them, they fuck with the youngest coming up no that's true they reach back and put them on is what what our vets didn't do that's valid it's a good point they put on their people and that was it like if you weren't there if you was with them that's it yeah i think i think the money i think the social media i think all of that shit also plays a part probably because again like with social media it connects people these niggas can be from atlanta and literally be connected to some niggas from la or from new york whereas back in the day when you drop a la artist and a new york artist if y'all never linked up or went on tour or something the odds of y'all ever meeting was real slim that's
Starting point is 01:00:42 valid or for you just to get bi-coastal exposure. Like, it was hard. Now with the internet, you could be a New York or East Coast artist and drop in L.A. at the same time. You ain't have to work your way across the country
Starting point is 01:00:52 to get popularity or fame. Also, probably some of the capital that is now in the game that wasn't there before. True, true, true. Back in the day, I get it from the older heads. They might have felt like
Starting point is 01:01:03 hoarding all the money. Yeah. Hey, we here, we know where the money's coming from. We had to bust our ass. It's just right, though, too, because to get a feature back in the day, you had to fly somewhere with reels and record that shit and ship shit around. Now you can just email shit. Like, Pac, the album that never came out with the East Coast, that was a big deal at the
Starting point is 01:01:21 time. And Biggie getting Bone in them on the album was a big deal. That was a big deal at the time. And Biggie getting Young Thug, getting Bone and them on the album was a big deal. That was a big deal. Hov getting UGK on Big Pimpin' was a big deal. Too short. Too short. All I share is a big deal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Because it was physically more difficult to have that happen. But I mean, even that though, they were dealing with acts in their age range. They wasn't going back to the younger acts. True. True. That's what I'm saying. But it still was hard to reach the people. I agree.
Starting point is 01:01:47 You know what I'm saying? I agree. But I'm just saying that they still, back then it was like the younger ones hated the older ones and vice versa. I think they looked at them like competition. Now it's enough money in the game. Exactly. For everybody to get to.
Starting point is 01:01:59 And now they're looking at it as, I want to be the one to put the next nigga on. True. There wasn't much of that before. I see people criticize Drake for doing a record with anybody who's up and coming that's popping. Wayne too. Wayne do a feature with anybody. He don't really give a fuck. Drake caught
Starting point is 01:02:13 hell for that. But I think that's dope. I'm the biggest artist in the game. This little local young nigga right here got something bubbling. I'm going to reach out to you. You're not my competition. I remember when I was a young bubbling artist and i would have starved or given my right hand to get jay-z on my album if you're drake yeah right i remember he was on you for a feature when he was up and coming like he used to like you oh you know what i'm saying so again when you up and coming
Starting point is 01:02:41 sometimes you forget when you were up and coming once you made it. And what it would have been to your career to get whoever was the premier artist on your shit. Right. You get what I'm saying? There's also some trauma or ego that comes in with that, too. I did it by myself. I had to work my ass off. That's true. A lot of that.
Starting point is 01:02:56 You know what I mean? It's a lot of that. While you're on that, I want somebody at some point got to tell me what happened with the Drake and Benny the Butcher song. Want to hear it? That's a good question. No, I've heard it. I got it. When you say what happened, what do you mean, though? That was officially released.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Yeah, I'm curious where that's going to end up. Might be a money bag. I don't know if it ends up anywhere now. Or they're working on something. One or the other, whoever's project it's going out on. Not the way we have heard this thing. We've heard this thing. It got leaked.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Benny's part got leaked yeah he started playing it places and at shows that says that it's probably not coming out with Drake maybe true
Starting point is 01:03:32 yeah he was tucking it he was holding it he was playing people behind the scenes so now it's like and that's interesting to me that's interesting
Starting point is 01:03:40 but it could be just like he did the project with Hit-Boy so maybe Hit-Boy didn't do that beat. So he's just waiting for the next solo album type of thing. Yeah, that's not a record you just want to throw away. Properly. So he could be waiting for that right ideal situation to go with that.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Just questions I've pondered that I'd like to know the answer to at some point. Back to Thug, though. Listen, I'm going to live with this this weekend because this sounds phenomenal great great features sounds great he's got drake and travis he's got the group fun that was fun he got fun on there look at fun like that's how acoustic he went with it he got fun on it you know i'm saying but even look at thugs features right like look at the features on this it's just always reads right even though i'd hate to be it's don't don't seem like you could pop in Atlanta if you got a beef with Young Thug or Future
Starting point is 01:04:28 that would be troubling for me I take it a step further you can't pop with Thug by himself you can't pop with Future go up higher you can't pop in Atlanta if you got a beef with Gucci Gucci that's how the umbrella goes go up higher baby go up higher you can't pop in Atlanta if you got a beef with Gucci Gucci
Starting point is 01:04:45 that's the that's where that's how the umbrella goes and that's where it goes back to what I've been saying about why my favorite rapper has a hard time what are they on tour now
Starting point is 01:04:55 they made they made friends I'm talking about when he was putting projects out oh yeah yeah that was tough I can't go get none of these hot
Starting point is 01:05:02 Atlanta niggas Atlanta niggas other than T.I. because they under there the only Atlanta features I can get is T.I. hot Atlanta niggas because they under there the only Atlanta features I can get is Tia
Starting point is 01:05:07 Tia and 2 Chainz shout to Gucci I need a list of the people that Gucci found I'll be honest that's under his umbrella that he found it's deep
Starting point is 01:05:17 it's deep it's deep it's deep no I'm sure you have to credit him for names that people forget to credit him with like amigos i'm just giving you don't want them out there nikki minaj
Starting point is 01:05:29 goes to gucci mad producers yes all your producers all your producers nikki start gucci's name pops up yes that's what i'm saying like a lot of producers gucci is the i i've said for a lot a long time gucci's the best a&r hip-hop and has been for years his ear and what he sees in talent when he picks produced a decade worth of probably more than that more than that more than that i'm just i'm just always impressed with how the south produces a master p or a Baby and Slim or some, or P, or just, they always have this mind,
Starting point is 01:06:10 or Gucci, or even the position Thug plays for the younger. They just always have a mind that sets up many, many others for a long time to come. I think that's a hustle thing.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Me too. i think these niggas be street niggas and they already have the inbred hustle and they just change the the the product and and what gucci says what thug says and the artists under them say they not trying to rob nobody that counts when they put you on i'm putting you on so you can make money not so that genuinely and genuinely trying to help you correct some kids that gucci be finding where he'll put it put it on his instagram yo here's a chain or here's a whatever he does they be so ecstatic like the look on their face is so priceless like i'd be feeling it through the screen like you remember that feeling as a young
Starting point is 01:07:01 act well if you're blessed enough to get it we're one of the ogs is just you know my attention is on you now right again i'm gonna put my arm around you that's the new the new phrase now i'm gonna put my arm around you and i'm gonna see to it that you pop that you succeed and look at his track record so look so it's like yes i'm who does that in new york nobody no not a soul and that's the problem. Imagine when you was up and coming. And you was nice. Right? People saw your niceness.
Starting point is 01:07:28 I'm sure. They were threatened by it. Imagine Jay-Z comes to you after Pump It Up drops and you wanted him on a remix and says, Yo, I'm going to see to it that you get busy. That you get to a certain level. You're a threat to me. Bro, do you know what you would have felt like inside? But even then, you name a Jay-Z.
Starting point is 01:07:46 He would be the name. We need somebody that's not. He's the equivalent to them back then. Mm-hmm. You talking Jay-Z 20 years ago, Joe. Whoever. No, no, I understand. I'm just highlighting the distinction because today it needs to be made.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Yo Gotti is an act. However, he's that executive dude. Drama's an act. However, he's that executive dude drama is an act however he's that executive dude gucci's an act like so forth and so on so today that multitasking like is like a regular thing back then hove caught a lot of flack for being the rapper and trying to be yeah like mad ass beef with him it ain't just me but mad ass beef with his way of doing but it's only cause he was a rapper like whatever beans had to say LLDMX
Starting point is 01:08:33 me woo mob deep whatever anybody had to say it's just cause he was rapping too I agree but he paved the way for that Puff paved the way for that you get what paved the way for that. You get what I'm saying? Like, without no Jay-Z, potentially, I'm just saying potentially, you might never see that.
Starting point is 01:08:51 New York needs some more of these. We need one of them. We need a guy who's not trying to be the guy himself, but has a perfect blueprint. Or be the guy. You could be the guy. Let other people come along and be the guy, too. The problem is, and we spoke on this on the last part, you were blaming a lot of it on the gun laws and et cetera. No, I just made a point.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I wasn't blaming. Well, okay. Not blaming. It's a fact. It was just theory. It is. That was a good point. But the other part was down here, these guys can, you're not a threat.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Like New York was so competition based that anything moving is a threat. Down South wasn't the same so cats was clicking up and linking up with no problem i just think that's a newer thing too we're talking 20 years ago i'm talking 20 years ago i know 20 years ago was 2001 ish good point good point who was really popping popping in Atlanta 20 years ago
Starting point is 01:09:48 CNN had to be like JDM then I'll get mad Outkast and Goody Mob yeah Goody Mob Outkast
Starting point is 01:09:54 JD Luda was about to pop Luda was coming yeah but these young niggas right here wasn't
Starting point is 01:10:01 but no but Gucci was on his grind mixtape like you know what I'm saying I built my name in the streets These young niggas right here wasn't. No, but Gucci was on his grind. On his run. Mixtape. Like, you know what I'm saying? I built my name in the streets. I was doing that.
Starting point is 01:10:11 I might not have popped nationally. You know, T.I. didn't pop nationally to maybe 03, 04. But they was doing their thing on the mixtape circuit in the streets. So that's what happens. You build up and then you start linking with other cats like yo you shit gucci's responsible for gz on the low they was them south niggas was making it hard for me to do something when i first got the def jam it was ti urban legend it was it was gz man gzt i can see why i was so angry like the shit I had to go against like man
Starting point is 01:10:45 you trying to fucking put a seller song while the snowman t-shirt is out everywhere not happening no nigga we don't want to hear that shit
Starting point is 01:10:53 you talking about and then what oh man and at the same time Lil Jon and them was running like come on it was true
Starting point is 01:11:01 yeah nah they made they they made they They made they Yeah They forced They kicked the door in They forced they way in the door
Starting point is 01:11:09 Exactly They forced They earned that They earned it They earned it Shit back then I had to deal with What Jody Meeks
Starting point is 01:11:15 Was fitting to do Like Not Jody Meeks That's a basketball player What's my man From Boys in the Hood Jody Breeze Jody fucking Breeze
Starting point is 01:11:23 I had to deal with What he was about to do Exactly Yo Jody Breeze He's the fucking Breeze. I had to deal with what he was about to do. Exactly. Jody Breeze. He's the one. He's coming. He's coming. He's got something.
Starting point is 01:11:28 No, I don't want to hear this shit. He's stressing me out with these dope Southern niggas. I remember. This Young Thug album, I haven't heard it, so I don't have analysis. I am going to go somewhere this weekend because this sounds like that's the vibe I need to be in. And then I'm going to get mad if I don't hear it. What happened to DJs playing new shit? Here.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Keep popping up new shit, new shit. Think the whole Harlem world's on some clue shit. We don't get that no more, but whatever. It's cool. Young Thug, salute. Salute and congratulations. Yeah, you did this right out. For real, you did.
Starting point is 01:12:03 From what I've heard, you did this, and I can't wait to dive into this. What else happened in music? Mac Miller, they re-released Faces, put it on stream. They did. He's also on Young Thug's album. I thought that was dope. Yeah. See what I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:20 Yeah, he just wrote on his album. Young Thug's projects give me thoughtfulness I don't have to I didn't have to hear this to just see where the thought went into this that's an artist that's why
Starting point is 01:12:31 musical that's what I'm saying Young Thug is an artist like he puts his passion into this shit I'm not just putting out I'm not just calling all you niggas
Starting point is 01:12:39 that I know I could get on the phone and say yo come on we gonna do this and put this out no no no no every aspect of this is thought out
Starting point is 01:12:47 and perfected and that's why it sounds like this that's why we all sitting over here like yo this shit is amazing cause a true artist put they all into this album
Starting point is 01:12:57 and when artists do this like when the big acts do that like add thoughtfulness and cohesion and like really put their best foot forward, I'd be so happy that no other albums drop. When one or two albums drop that hold it down for the genre, I'm okay.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I'm all right. So I'll get to this. And rest in peace, Mac Miller, always. Always. Always. Nothing else musically. Gucci, I didn't have a... Gucci, Graff, and DJ Shay, rest in peace. Dropped the tape. I didn't listen to it yet. Rest in peace, Mac Miller. Always. Always. Nothing else musically. Gucci, I haven't heard. Gucci, Graff, and DJ Shea.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Rest in peace. Dropped the tape. I haven't listened to it yet. Rest in peace, Shea. Yeah. I haven't heard it yet. Shout out to Graff. Friend of the show, of course.
Starting point is 01:13:32 No doubt. Anything on R&B? Let me see what I was doing. Rock Marcy did a single with Nicholas Craven that produced all of Ransom's last projects. It's dope. Yeah, that's probably the most I had. Yeah, me too. For the week.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Like I said, it was a little bit quiet. Dirk dropped a new single. Oh yeah, Dirk dropped a single. I immediately listened to it and wanted to cut Grand Theft Auto on so I could shoot.
Starting point is 01:13:55 There's a video for it too. That's what happened because that's the only shooting I'm getting off. But I just need, I just had that urge. I got to shoot some shit. Like I need the big gun
Starting point is 01:14:03 going GTA and I just had to get some shots off. But yeah. Nah, he shoot some shit. Like, I need the big gun. Go on GTA. And I had to get some shots off. But yeah. No, he be rapping too. Yeah, he is. And it's called Piss Me Off. And I was telling the fellas, somebody or something has pissed him off. I mean, the home invasion.
Starting point is 01:14:18 I can go. But I mean. He talked about it in the song. Yeah, yeah. But I think it's a little bit more than that. Because I'm going from the remix verse i mean the uh the verse on the nardo wick um who wants smoke remix and there he's a little aggravated at something and then in here it sounds like i don't know if it's people who don't know what the hell they talk about in his comments like shit is starting
Starting point is 01:14:42 you can tell from these just those two verses which are the last two verses that uh he put out something's like ticking him off and he's kind of lashing out on here so leave that man alone please rappers singers Actors, actresses, influencers, tastemakers, gamers, podcasters, hosts. This is my blanket PSA to all of you. Let's make it to the end of the year. We too close right now. It is October. I don't think I can handle one of y'all leaving this year.
Starting point is 01:15:37 All of you are in my prayers. I love every one of y'all. And I identify with what we have to go through to make ends meet out here. And all the shit that we against both in music and outside of music just existing here. Please. I won't minimize this by saying head on a swivel because that's ground level shit to just look around. That's ground level shit to just look around. Just use caution and make the best decisions that you can, at least so we all could get to the new year together.
Starting point is 01:16:13 End quote from Joe. That's a good one. End quote from Joe, because that's important. It's a shame that we got to even have that. The news could tell you what's going on. Like when mom's got to pull guns out, like when mom's gotta pull guns out when girlfriend's gotta pull guns out thank god the hitman holler's girlfriend uh survived uh shout out to her scariest thing in the world but when those types of things began to happen i start picking up the newspaper speaking of the newspaper real quick go get my bacon egg and cheese i walk out i look at
Starting point is 01:16:43 the front page of the daily news and it's I buy it, and we'll talk about it real quick. But the Daily News is $3. Damn. Shit. I know people don't really buy print, so I'll just throw that out, and we'll keep it moving. But I used to buy those. You haven't bought a newspaper in a while. I went from $0.25 to $0.50, $0.75, $1.25.
Starting point is 01:17:03 But $3? I missed the jump from a buck 50 to three dollars but moving on cover the daily news uh young mother in the Bronx
Starting point is 01:17:11 turns her son in she's walking around she's walking around neighborhood is wanted signs on the poles from her kid uh
Starting point is 01:17:20 her kid is 13 he shot at some niggas she went home brought his little ass to the precinct and they were that's what they were discussing
Starting point is 01:17:31 the kid the kid lived but he let four shots out that stuff interests me since it left the gun range wow I'm reading that story he let four shots out the kid lived
Starting point is 01:17:40 he hit him in the leg and that's that you see this Shoots and Wounds Snapchat. And that's that. You see this? Shoots and Wounds Snapchat rival. Well, that's why I brought it up. Well, that's why I brought it up. Because back to adult brain and children issues, right?
Starting point is 01:17:59 I'll bring this full circle from where we started. We was talking about youth athletics and barbers and single parents and we was joking around and shit like that. But on the flip side of that I got little brothers.
Starting point is 01:18:13 I got little brothers. They're from the Bronx. They run around. They play. And apparently on these video games and on these socials we adults
Starting point is 01:18:24 I ain't thinking about you getting into it with another little kid on Snapchat or the video game. And if you an adult and you not checking and you don't even know that they chatting in them headphones like that, threatening y'all, I'll kill you, nigga, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So be it. And shit, video games, you might think that's part of the game or something. Yeah, but my dad. Which it probably is. Shit talking is part of sports. No, but my dad... Which it probably is. Shit talking is part of sports, but... No, but...
Starting point is 01:18:46 No, fuck that. Shit talking, yes. But at 13, you don't even know how to shit talk. You don't even know what it could result. I disagree with that. You don't know what it could result in. No, not what it... They know how...
Starting point is 01:18:57 Listen, I'm a gamer. I'm only talking about what it results in. Don't give me... Okay, okay, okay. Maybe in today's society, it results in different shit than when we was 13. Evidently. Yeah. And that's where I'm at.
Starting point is 01:19:08 I agree with that. So, if my dad calls and says, yo, your brothers is fucking, your brothers is on the video game, setting up fights, and running over here to go actually fight the dude. Like, we've been there before. But today, everything's a little more dangerous because you don't know what's gangtory and what's not gang territory geographically you don't even know what's going on in the streets you claim to be yours i'm not talking about 13 year olds but just people period i tell a story about when i was driving driving around my neighborhood and i made a left and a left when to drop somebody off union see them cops pull that little binge right. I ain't do a thing.
Starting point is 01:19:45 Yo, what happened? Gang territory. That's it. The end. You don't need a reason now. I'm pulling it over. Hey, when we used to go on our little dates, you fucking, you miss a turn
Starting point is 01:19:58 or you miss some shit where you're supposed to go and now you got to take the local main street that's just going straight. It's going to take you through the whole hood. Yeah. Sometimes it be one two in the morning.
Starting point is 01:20:10 You're a little nice car. You are in a geographical problem now. You don't have to do nothing wrong. The cops over there they man that hood 24-7 people up.
Starting point is 01:20:20 We looking for the cars we pulling you over no matter what. You do shit like this and you got to worry about a 13-year-old kid shooting innocent bystanders. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:20:31 this is a mess. This is a fucking mess. Nah, it's just no more fighting. How do you go through this as a parent? There's no more fighting. I got to go turn my kid in. Now he got an attempted
Starting point is 01:20:41 murder charge at 13 years old. Because somebody was bullying me or because he wanted to prove a point or because Snapchat. Like Snapchat? TikTok? We got to start making fighting cool again. I'm going to kill you over TikTok? Even that though. You can't fight.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Somebody lose the fight. That ain't it. I would be scared of that part today of winning the fight. Yeah, you win the fight. You damn near better off taking a L. That's crazy. Last fight I had, I won. His network was bigger than mine though.
Starting point is 01:21:12 So now, who wins? Exactly. Who wins in the aftermath of this? Right. Who makes the first phone call? It was me. Yeah! The other night, man. Yeah. I was beside myself, man. Yeah. I was beside myself, man.
Starting point is 01:21:29 We should just let bygones be. Come on. Come on. We can move on. It just pains me to see. I'm seeing, I bring this up to say, let's all make it to the end of the year. I'm seeing more and more stories where it's the entertainers, the rappers, it's kids, it's parents. We going through it out here.
Starting point is 01:21:42 We going through it out here. I'm not depressing nobody. Let's just keep it pushing what else we got block boy jb this must be important you put on the screen i love making music but i'm just finna give up and be done it's just some of the shit that be going on is not for me i can't drop no music i can do 50 songs today and still couldn't drop nothing feel like they waiting on me to die or something. If a nigga ever tell you I ain't working, that shit's cap. Now, I do believe that some of them are waiting for some of us to die. I stand by that.
Starting point is 01:22:11 But I say that. I say that often. Outside of that, I'm not too familiar with Block Boy JB. He's under Gotti. He's over there. Oh, he in a good system. CMG. He in a good system.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Yeah. Well, that could be the problem. Could's over there. Oh, he's in a good system. CMG. He's in a good system. Yeah. Well, that could be the problem. Could be something personal. If you're in a good system, it's not your time. I don't care if you're making 50 songs a day. Do you have those songs I'm looking for?
Starting point is 01:22:37 Right. Possible. It's possible. That could definitely be it. It could be. If you got a whole stable full of people that are making hits, then you might just have to wait. Not just that. Now you're going public on your shit. Well, that's like. Shit might get pushed back even further.
Starting point is 01:22:54 That might not help the situation at all. And it could just be, nigga, you got to wait your turn. Right. I'm sorry. Like, right now, this is what we doing. I got a well-oiled machine here. Mm-hmm. Yeah, we on fire. We see the same thing happen, not for now, this is what we doing. I got a well-oiled machine here. Mm-hmm. Yeah, we on fire.
Starting point is 01:23:05 We see the same thing happen, not for nothing, with TDE. Yeah. We've seen Absol come out and say, yo, I want to drop. Yo, they won't let me drop. They won't let me drop. And then Punch will say, yo, it's not your turn. Mm-hmm. You've seen it so much with them that they turned it into a marketing campaign.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Yeah. Now, when SZA going to be doing that shit, I'll be like, yo, stop faking. SZA be like, I want to drop right now. They won't let me. I'm retiring. They won't. Man, stop. But it's coming from a real place because that really happened.
Starting point is 01:23:33 Yeah, it happened. But again, it's, you know, when you have that. I remember SZA wanted to drop. Bro, you see it everywhere. You see it in sports. You see it in music. You see it. Y'all little receiver.
Starting point is 01:23:43 The one that kicked our ass the other day. Who? The little nigga from the Giants. The new nigga. Tooney? Threw the punch. Tooney. He been bitching all year.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Yeah. And he's nice. Oh, he went crazy the other day? The rookie? Yeah, damn near 200 yards on Dallas. The rookie? Yes. And he got thrown out the game and damn near had 200 yards.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Oh, he might be on a waiver. That was wild, though. Oh, no, he's picked up already. Anyway. Oh, you picked him up? Did I? But, um. No, he threw a punch at a nigga with a helmet on. Yeah, I always thought that's funny.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Enough wasn't really talked about that. No, but watch that. It was like, you got to be different. It happens like once a year, someone throws a punch at someone. But I mean, you should be thankful that you did not connect. It's just going to hurt you. But no, he was bitching all year. And he's nice.
Starting point is 01:24:23 He's nice. But the three niggas you behind are nice. You a rookie. You got to wait your turn. And they know the playbook like the back of their hand. Somebody gets hurt, then you come out and go nuts. I'm going to tell you why that's different. Because we losing.
Starting point is 01:24:37 So? No, but I'm saying if we're doing. We're not at the worst take part of the pod. No, I'm just saying. No, no, no, no, no. I'm going to equate it to this. But I'm saying if what you said, what we're doing, you're down the line worst take part of the pod no i'm just no no no no i'm going to quit into this but i'm saying if if what you said what we're doing you know you you're down the line you're number four etc what we doing ain't winning so maybe you do need to
Starting point is 01:24:55 switch up yo get me involved some more now hold on now with this here with block boy jb goddy's camp is winning. Big winning. Big winning. So for you to be complaining, and they telling you, like let's say they telling you, yo, you got to play your role. It's not you right now.
Starting point is 01:25:14 This is what we got going, and we're winning. We saw that at QC too. Yeah, we've seen this. Lil Baby named his album My Turn for a reason. It's my turn now. I've been sitting here in the cut. There you go.
Starting point is 01:25:27 It was definitely his turn. It was. And he turned out. Yeah. And ran with it. He gave 200 yards too. And a couple touchdowns. No,
Starting point is 01:25:35 he was right because somebody else at that time thought it was their turn. They went out of place. Hey, you got to pick that card back up. Ain't your goal yet.
Starting point is 01:25:43 Yeah, no, no. You don't know the suit. He won that boat. Hey, he calls the suit. He cutting yet. Yeah, no, no. You don't know the suit. He won that boat. Hey, he calls the suit. He cutting spades. Yeah, yeah, he's cutting everything.
Starting point is 01:25:49 That nigga cutting spades. He is too suited out, this bitch. So moving on, moving on. On to Kyrie Irving. For those of you that don't know, the Nets announced their decision to not have Kyrie Irving participate in team anything. You cannot travel. You cannot practice. in team anything. You cannot travel.
Starting point is 01:26:06 You cannot practice. You cannot play. You cannot participate, which caused an uproar from the sports world, in particular Stephen A. Smith. Stephen A. Smith and J. Will had a nice exchange on air about how if he was hurting his team, if he was being selfish, if blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I think Steve and they said, called him stupid or said that this was stupid or just associated the word stupid
Starting point is 01:26:36 with the likeness of Kyrie Irving. And boy, did that get some pushback from the sports community? So wait, what was that? I didn't see this, new exchange what was that which one the one with jay will no i saw that the new exchange that's from yes oh about kairi's live i didn't see that either no no i saw that i'm talking about there's been more reactions a lot of people have responded to Stephen A's rant about this.
Starting point is 01:27:06 And I guess the conversation, it's not really a vaccine conversation. Not really, no. It's not. It's a choice conversation. It's just about choice, yeah. It's about personal choice. So if you have, it could be anything. Because again, we definitely don't want to turn this into another vaccine conversation.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Yeah, no, it's the weekend. Kyrie Irving is a man. He's a father. He's a husband. He's whatever the case may be. If he does not want to do something that he thinks could potentially be harmful to his body long term, that is
Starting point is 01:27:37 his right. It doesn't matter what he thinks if it's potentially harmful. We can leave it at just his thoughts. At what he wants to do or not. His discretion. Even he said I'm not pro or anti. I just... I don't know yet. I'm getting more... I want to
Starting point is 01:27:53 take my time and figure this out. It's his right. And that is his right. It's his right. For himself and his family. Yeah. Now does he let the team down? Maybe, but who cares? It's his life. Let's play the Kyrie clip for some of the people down maybe but who cares it's his it's his life let's play let's play the kairi clip for some of the people that may as well so we'll just play we're not gonna play the whole thing first things first a little bit uh this isn't about me and it's
Starting point is 01:28:12 not about me dispelling uh you know what's being said about me particularly or for anybody it's just saying you know i'm standing with all those that uh you know believe in what's right and are doing what's right for themselves. Everybody has a personal choice with their lives. Everybody has a right to feel a certain type of way. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions. Everybody's entitled to do what they feel is best for themselves. And putting me as a hero or painting me as a villain sort of say or going against the vaccine mandates like that wasn't that wasn't my intent at all. And to be sitting in this seat here and seeing, you know, the way that this is dividing our world up, you know, being vaccinated or being unvaccinated. You know, it's just sad to see. It's creating a lot of division, a lot of confusion.
Starting point is 01:29:07 to see. It's creating a lot of division, a lot of confusion, a lot of people saying things that are untrue. We're not given space for each other to speak. You got doctors out here working hard, physicians out here working hard, and everybody's trying to do what's best for them and their families, which I respect. And I'm always going to put that first. Everybody out there is not And I'm always going to put that first. All right. Everybody out there is not listening to me or making this about me or painting this picture like, yo, I'm the voice of reason, so you should do this. Nah. It's just about staying real and staying true to who you are and making the choice for you what's best.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Everybody has their own family. Everybody has their own tribe. Everybody has their own issues or traumas that they're dealing with, trying to heal from. And I trying to support as best i can pause it pause it pause it let the i'm a i'm a hooper can you can you pause it yeah let's let the applause go one two i mean he's long-winded right now so we're gonna it's a lot it's 20 minutes long but he go he goes into how just use logic think for yourself think for your family this is not just about us it's about our kids our lineage uh our legacy uh he goes into how who he is uh for him is bigger than his career it's bigger than me just being an athlete but he also goes into his love for the
Starting point is 01:30:20 game and how hey y'all don't think i'm real i'm i'm just ready to retire or walk away from the game that i fell in love with since i was a child at four years old so he goes into all that he calls the people puppets that were on television just saying shit just feeding the narrative and says if you want any information about kyrie irving you should get it from kyrie irving i agree with that That's what he said. That's how he feels. And I did hear that. My dad told it to me.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Like, there's a few people that was like, hey, if you want to be a voice for the voiceless, you have to say something. Well, now he did. And I don't even believe that's true. I believe you can lead through your actions. You can. You can.
Starting point is 01:31:03 But he did. He said something now. He made his stance clear how do we feel first off i'm super proud of him right taking a stance it's not about the right or wrong he took a stance he stood on it um against he's losing a shit ton of money so it's not even about money especially he's already rich he's already rich but in a world where the powerful
Starting point is 01:31:33 will use whatever they can to make you do what they want you to do right it's extortion it's admirable to see someone when you see somebody stand on the other side against all adversity it's
Starting point is 01:31:49 it's worthy of applause, it's worthy of praise especially a young black man articulately expressing himself and his views he didn't really get mad he didn't take the angry nigga route he sat up there. He expressed himself.
Starting point is 01:32:05 He didn't, excuse me, like Stephen A. Smith and him were attacking his character. He ain't even really fire back. You know what I'm saying? He sat up there with a mature stance, and that's where I'm kind of, with Stephen A. Smith, like, yo, you took a real, real, real aggressive stance against a kid. Well, he not a kid anymore. He about 30. He about 30, um i just think
Starting point is 01:32:26 it's whack but i'm really really really proud of kairi for taking a stance and rocking with it i'm proud of him as well i am like noble regardless of how you feel your personal opinion on his decision what he's doing is admirable. And we always get up here. We always say like, we're mad when white people tell us to shut up and dribble. Basically, they were telling him to shut up and dribble. Stephen A. Smith is telling him shut up and dribble. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:32:57 So from one black man to another telling him shut up and dribble, to me, it's corny. It's whack. And you did it on a public forum. Call him. For me, in's corny. It's whack. Like and you did on a public forum column for me in the sports world. You have to be really careful about viewing things through only a sports lens. Some of these topics. Transcend sports. Yes, they're bigger than sports and while our athletes to some may not be the people
Starting point is 01:33:27 to articulate why these matters are so big you can feel the passion when they speak right so some of these things are so nuanced and so complex that they supersede contractual obligations and when i talk about contractual obligations for me that's what's typically at the root of these things i'll go back to kaepernick that was such a nuanced kneel very simple gesture and boy the sports world responded and reacted after one person pointed out that that's what was happening hey that guy kneeled
Starting point is 01:34:13 uproar but that was so complex that wasn't the time for us to rush to judgment but why did we do that why and for me this wasn't so on front street oh the nfl has contractual obligations with the military or the government or the army or whoever and it says that there are clauses in here that make kneeling not such a friendly thing to do for business it's ain't
Starting point is 01:34:39 about black people it's about business over an nba we don't have that wording that wording wasn't there in the contracts they had to create something that wording. That wording wasn't there in the contracts. They had to create something that said, hey, no, you guys can show your unity. You can hold hands. You can do whatever you want because we don't have the wording. But we would prefer you not. It was a conversation to be had. That never existed over in the NFL.
Starting point is 01:35:02 So here we are again in the NBA, contractual obligations. Now we're mandated. It's a contract. The NBA, the NFL, these are private entities. As a private entity, there are some contracts that protect business interests, not people interests but when you bring those to some people some independent thinkers out there there will always be a clash indeed think about this a couple a couple months ago we congratulated naomi osaka because she bowed out of tennis tournaments to focus on her mental health.
Starting point is 01:35:47 Right. She had contractual obligations to perform. We sold seats at whatever open it was because people wanted to come see you perform. You have to now separate the business from the personals. Right. And she did. She bowed out. It's no different than what he's doing.
Starting point is 01:36:09 On the human side, we applaud that from Naomi Osaka, Kyrie, Cap. On the business side, Naomi lost a lot of money. Kyrie's about to lose a lot of money, and Cap lost a lot of money. So there's a balance that needs to be had to even be able to have the fight. Look at these wealthy people that we're naming that's to stand up and say, hey, my mental health is more important than my obligations to your journal,
Starting point is 01:36:37 your reporters and your press day. And yeah. You were saying how it's good. I say how's it different because with naomi osaka she took that upon herself to leave because of her mental health they're saying yo we gotta do this because of mandates that are pressed down and he's saying he's saying well you're not gonna force that on me i don't know what i'm gonna do but you're not gonna force that on me that's what he's saying all right cool you have the right to decide to do that.
Starting point is 01:37:05 But until you do, you can't do this because of, not because of us, but New York City has said you can't be in here X, Y, Z. Cool. No, Ice, I'm with you. That's kind of what I'm saying. I don't see the... It's a correlation because they both are doing something that they stand firm and strong in. There are different pieces to it but even with the nets the nets could have had him playing away games the nets could have had him
Starting point is 01:37:31 practicing and that would have been the greatest look for the team and chemistry and so all the things they put the business decision they said no cool but again he's still taking a stance and sacrificing a bunch of shit he He could be potentially sacrificing endorsements, sacrificing. He's already getting ridiculed by OGs, right? He's sacrificing a lot. And I think when you, Cap is a damn near hero. When you sacrifice yourself for the greater good, dog, that's to be applauded. And we don't know if this is the greater good, but I'm just saying. Yeah, that's the only argument I would make is the greater good dog that's to be applauded and we don't know if this is the greater
Starting point is 01:38:05 good but i'm just saying yeah that's the only argument i would make is that uh the greater good argument we don't know it's but to me it's a it's his personal decision we gotta shut up and wait because these things are so nuanced i'm not i'm not leading i'm not lending thought to that all i'm saying is history here has shown me that we never admire the stance as it's happening. Never. That's back from Dave Chappelle. That was nuanced. They kicked his back in.
Starting point is 01:38:36 They kicked his back in. They kicked Caps back in. And when you have the media control, you can tell the story. Yeah, you can spin it. Right? control you can tell the story yeah you can spin it right so even with the cap story he met with prior to him kneeling he met with a veteran flew to the veteran the veteran told him kneeling is respectful don't just sit down if you kneel that shows a certain respect to the flag in the country and that's why he chose to nil as opposed to sitting the media don't tell you that piece they just say yo he said fuck the flag he
Starting point is 01:39:10 says he's anti-american blah blah blah that's not the case yeah they were actual veterans coming out saying like yo we're not offended by this no we went to war that's what we're able to do this right right so that's my point like when you don't control the media you don't control the narrative you don't control the message and I'm really disappointed with the Stephen A. Smith shit because he's a media icon right no question so you could have handled this way way different
Starting point is 01:39:34 yo this is a young black man you talking about call me on the phone call me on the phone if you got something to say nigga Call me on the phone You have my number You got access to me Even if you don't have my number
Starting point is 01:39:48 And address it And then when you bring it to the media You can even say Yo I'm kinda disappointed In what Kyrie did You can tone it down nigga We tone it down on this show All the time
Starting point is 01:39:57 See my brain Let me just say My brain don't even get to nothing It's just saying Wally's correct Because I understand Contractual obligations But at the same time My brain don't even get to nothing. It's just saying, Wally's correct. Because I understand contractual obligations. But at the same time, yes. Let me finish my point.
Starting point is 01:40:12 ESPN has a contractual obligation for Steve. It's Disney. That was my point. And Disney is the NFL. And they don't play. They're all together. Steve and Nate is for them. My brain won't even get to this part of it.
Starting point is 01:40:25 He can't do that. Disney do that play. He literally can't do that. No, he can. Okay, no, no. He can. He would have to take a risk like Kyrie's taking a risk. He can explain his displeasure in Kyrie's actions.
Starting point is 01:40:38 He can do that. He can do it in a manner that's not as harsh nor brash as the one he chose he can definitely say yo i don't agree with him we sit up here and say we don't agree with people but we don't got to necessarily assassinate their character to do that right we do it all the time on this pod something don't really rock with us nah it's not for me right he could and steve not just that stephen a smith is one of the most articulate black men we've seen on tv he has a vocabulary and vernacular to get his point across without attacking that man i'm not agreeing with that and i don't give a fuck espn is his boss he can report
Starting point is 01:41:17 he can give his personal feeling he don't gotta do it in that manner i agree there's there's ways to do it there's ways to express yourself without being rude at the top of the week and a lot of companies or middle of the week they hold a big meeting and they get the objective of the company agendas yep they get the agenda yeah they get the overview they do all of that stuff. After the football game or before the football game, if it's a big story that could be disrupted to the locker room, the coach or the GM might hold a meeting and let you know as a team how we're going to handle this, like how we're going to present ourselves,
Starting point is 01:42:00 what the messaging should be as a team moving forward. When these things happen with Steve and A, you're right. Ish, he could have done all that because he's mad articulate, and he's like, you mad? Right. But when he don't do that, it tells me what the messaging and the objective is overall from the up, up, up, ups. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:42:24 And that would be, yo, this nigga's stupid. And he didn't say that, so I'm not putting words in his mouth. No, he did. He didn't say this nigga's stupid. That wasn't a quote.
Starting point is 01:42:32 No, he didn't say nigga. That wasn't a quote. And we gotta be correcting this stuff. You're right. He said it's the stupidest nonsense I've seen. I would think that that is a higher up type of thing. Oh, you don't want to win a championship, you selfish,
Starting point is 01:42:44 you putting your teammates every issue how could you not consider them James Harden's a free agent yo fam I'm talking about my wife and kids we can get to that
Starting point is 01:42:53 later they talking about that's how it's here they're talking about business and he's talking about yo look one of the things he said in the live
Starting point is 01:43:00 I'm only responsible for me this body right here so with that I have to i'm only responsible for me this body right here so with that i have to see what's best for me flat out same shit as when and he's right in football they used to do this a lot a lot in football people would be injured and they would force them to play and they would guilt you in the play and saying yo you selfish you not caring about the team right i even think kevin durant rushed himself back when he fucked his achilles up the first time definitely he came back in three or four days aggravated the injury made it worse
Starting point is 01:43:36 right we are playing team sports from when we're kids right and so if you're a good teammate you put the team first that is the sentiment that he's basically saying fuck you fuck your family and fuck what you feel you are potentially ruining the championship aspirations of these guys and what kairi is saying is fuck that championship i'm i gotta look out for me and my family i'm gonna leave it on stephen a smith i'm gonna leave it on step A. Smith I'm going to leave it on Stephen A. Smith and let's leave this soon you're basically saying fuck your personal opinion
Starting point is 01:44:12 I'm rocking with the organization to critique him in that manner that's ESPN's agenda that's Disney's agenda we're going to critique this guy in our weekly objective meeting whatever the fuck so in that case if that is ESPN's agenda and We're going to critique this guy in our weekly objective meeting, whatever the fuck. So in that case, if that is ESPN's agenda and you got to bring it forward like that,
Starting point is 01:44:30 you are a fucking puppet for the man. I could tell from the Nets messaging that they tight. They tight? I would be tight too, nigga. I can tell. We give you $40 million, I would be tight too. If I was a fan of the Nets, I'd be tight. I wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:44:43 But if I'm the Nets, I'm tight. I'm not going to be tight. I don't want to stretch this, so I'm shutting up. I'm tight if I'm the Nets. If I'm in business, man. But I put humanity before business. That's me. You're a very, very small percentage that does that.
Starting point is 01:44:59 And trust me, I learn it every day. I learn it every day. These niggas don't care nothing about humanity at all. Humanity is the bottom of the battle. You want to play with that broken kneecap? Come on out here, nigga. Shoot these threes. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:45:11 No, not do you want to play. Nigga, come out here and shoot these threes. But what about the people, and this is part of Kyrie's point, too, and I'll advance the conversation to the amount of work stoppages or people leaving their jobs estimated to be at an all-time high now you can pull those numbers up alex so we can look at it but that's part of kairi saying i want to be the voice for the voiceless because he's saying yeah i can do this but what about the people who depend on their job for their livelihood and means of taking care of their family and now
Starting point is 01:45:46 they're being forced to make a decision about their body and their health when all the information is not out there yet it's irresponsible so let's tie it into that what are these companies facing just trying to get people to come to work during this crisis i think that or at some turn will we get you to sign away your rights or to think less about all of that when you want to travel
Starting point is 01:46:10 when you want to work when you want to go to circus entertainment sports restaurant we're going to get you somewhere yeah they are
Starting point is 01:46:17 like I said they're going to get to the point where in order to renew your passport renew your license you're going to see that yeah little facts big facts
Starting point is 01:46:23 they're going to get there they're going to try to stifle you any way they can to section eight vouchers all of that stuff yes you're gonna have to be vaccinated they might start writing that shit on your license vaccinated in a way oh no it's gonna be no no no you're not gonna be able to renew it without yeah that's gonna that's where we're gonna get to in order to renew it you're gonna have to prove your vaccination all of that so my my point with it with the working how far are we from getting That's where we're going to get to. In order to renew it, you're going to have to prove your vaccination. All of that. So my point with the working chip. How far are we from getting chips inside of us?
Starting point is 01:46:50 We knocking on the door. Some people say they already do. We're here, right? Some people are saying they already do. We're here today. I don't think we're that close. I do. How close?
Starting point is 01:46:57 I don't think we're close because we have chips. I think we've had this. We all carry chips. They're more agile than a tracker chip. Instead, I can track you still. They're tracking me right now. And I can sell you some shit and you just hit the button. Yo, I just, ooh.
Starting point is 01:47:13 Why would I chip you? Chipping you means nothing. Yeah. I can control your thoughts. I can control your emotions. I can control your banking. I can control your banking. I own you through this yeah and
Starting point is 01:47:26 i can sell you some shit this is the chip we're close to the chip we have it no no no i'm with parks on another level but i watched the article and they were saying basically with the vaccination shit it was leading into that that when you put the chip in you, it's giving all of your medical data once somebody scans it. Right? It's telling if you've had this, if you've had that, you're allergic to penicillin. Like, so if you fall unconscious, right,
Starting point is 01:47:54 and the EMS people come pick you up, they don't know what you're allergic to. Scan the chip. Yup, we can't give him penicillin. We gotta give him this. He's had this before. He's had this before. He's had all of these ailments before.
Starting point is 01:48:04 It'll be your entire resume on the chip. That's why I want to him this. He's had this before. He's had this before. He's had all of these elements before. It'll be your entire resume on the chip. That's why I want to interrupt you. And they are kind of doing that. So I make sure that we understand them clearly. Are y'all saying because we have the phones, y'all don't believe we'll get to a place where they want to put chips inside of humans? Potentially. Potentially. I just don't think it's that close because I think this is a more valuable chip
Starting point is 01:48:25 than we already have. And it does the thing already with the health information. They do that. It's in here. They do that now with your emergency settings in your phone.
Starting point is 01:48:35 Somebody can hit a button. If I'm unconscious, you can click this four times. My emergency card pops up with your alert. At some point... You're a techie. Everybody don't know that.
Starting point is 01:48:44 You're a techie. But they're going to make it more... They're going to put... They're some point. You're a techie. Everybody don't know that. You're a techie. But they're going to make it for they're rolling. I'm not a techie and I know that at some point in tech world they will hit a ceiling with what they can do in that form. And something will come out
Starting point is 01:48:58 that says there are mad more options if we can put this in your wrist. Some white people are putting chips in their kids. They are out there. So all I'm saying is that the technological advance of that, to me, it looks like a chip inside of us. Sure.
Starting point is 01:49:20 But Apple's already been pretty vocal about the fact that they're moving into the health world with the watch especially they got oxygen sensors in here now heart rate shit they're gonna make it so the air pods can determine how your breathing is through your watch
Starting point is 01:49:38 so even if I'm rolling with what y'all are saying at some point a competitor will see that and want to expound on that potentially engineering is nothing but faster better tricker sure right we hit a ceiling with this we got to be thinking of something better even what you're saying parks they're conditioning people now to get comfortable with all this access in one spot that's true like we both use all the functions right so if the next step is hey now we'll give you this right here which will even speed this up even faster now you can the
Starting point is 01:50:13 same way i can apple pay you can health health scan right all right now you don't need a watch you can put this bandage on it does it then the next step like yeah i agree they probably will progress further up all right i just don't know how popular if if they're doing it if they're doing it with the vaccine now i could just see a future where that chip inside of you is like the wristband at the club that says you can dictate where you go and you can go over here you can't drink you can drink you can do this who has the chip who don't who has the vaccine who don't and that's me not being a techie a a planetary scientist whatever neil degrasse all that shit is soon shout out to neil degrasse i love you soon your bank account information will be on your body somewhere maybe not in the next five years ten years yo you're gonna get scanned
Starting point is 01:51:00 to pay but we are there no your body no he's saying what i'm saying your phone is on your but what that goes for parks is saying you're just going to remove the phone and put it directly on you they're not they're not here no i get it so i hear what you're saying i just don't think it makes sense for them financially right right now the way technology is no not right now or in the immediate this is progression few years this is progression so soon we leading away from change every store you go into now uh the change shortage so we prefer that you either have exact change or you pay with your card they're trying to push you away from cash pay everything is trying to be digital the next level of that digital evolution
Starting point is 01:51:39 will be off of your phone here maybe that's all i'm saying i think that like that's we we talked about um your cash is so dingy and dirty and i don't touch cash yeah i don't touch cash the other day the guy gave me change i was buying like something like for two dollars you ain't want to change i almost wanted to put the 18 in the tip jar because that's cheaper than me carrying the risk of where this money came from, rubbing it against my pants and my thighs.
Starting point is 01:52:09 It's just nasty. I don't touch cash. I don't really use cash. We ain't so fucking stupid in America. Me neither. Me neither. Keep a little couple dollars for... No, it was a store
Starting point is 01:52:19 next to the nail salon. I know. I promise you. It was. Yo, my nice starlets. Yo, my... Yo, my... Cash app, eh? Hey, was. Yo, my Starlets. Yo, my bitch. Hey, even that. Cash app, eh?
Starting point is 01:52:28 Hey, look, they take cash app now. What's the difference, though? That's different. I'm not taking money home. I'm using a card, getting money here, and circulating it right back here. I'm throwing it out. Right? Or let's say I take the brick home.
Starting point is 01:52:40 My next time in Starlets, that brick is going to change from the store. What are you doing with your $18? I'm it home they're wrapping transfer it to another pair of pants put in and dress to the germ wherever this is coming from it's disgusting nigga they're wrapping it up putting it right in that brick that they gave us listen all jokes aside but we talked about this on the pod a couple days ago when we were talking about the algorithms. Somebody sent me some shit. One of the fans sent me some shit. And the shit was an article on it don't got to be your algorithm. Dude said he spent the night at his mom's crib for like a week.
Starting point is 01:53:18 His house was getting worked on. He said, yo, all the shit that was in his mother's crib started getting sent to his phone. So they said that the algorithms will show your phone next to my phone. So they'll start shopping shit that you normally buy to me. Whether we had a conversation about it or anything. Like shit that you buy, they'll start putting it on my ads and all that other shit. Like for familiarity purposes. That's crazy in personal i
Starting point is 01:53:45 looked at apartment before i got this one and i took a picture of the living room or whatever but you could see the the um refrigerator in the picture you start getting refrigerator ads that refrigerator ads not refrigerator ads that refrigerator that bosh refrigerator whatever the fuck it was because it was a nice refrigerator. It was my age. It was that specific. Think about that. It wasn't some just refrigerators. Live with me
Starting point is 01:54:11 in conspiracy theorist land for two seconds. It's my favorite land. Let's go. Yeah. You know what we're looking at out there now in all the industries
Starting point is 01:54:21 like for the most part kinda a shortage on chips. Shortage on chips. At some point, they're gonna fix that, right? Of course.
Starting point is 01:54:30 Mm-hmm. I expect them to quadruple the load of chips. Mm-hmm. Which means... However many chips they thought they needed, I think they're gonna make sure
Starting point is 01:54:41 that what we're seeing now with the shortage of chips for cars and phones and whatever else needs a chip will never happen again. And I don't know how much that costs. But let's pretend there's an extra billion chips lying around. What we need them for. Not just that. If you're the chip company, you know you got the world by the balls right now.
Starting point is 01:55:04 I need you to commit to buying balls right now I need you to commit to buying 10 billion I need you to commit to buying 10 billion I need every one of these countries to commit to buying 10 billion chips
Starting point is 01:55:11 because we're understaffed we're under man whatever the fuck they say now the chips let's say we find out that they're time sensitive like the vaccine was the vaccine
Starting point is 01:55:23 for your booster shot when the hospitals got it, you had to hurry up and take it because it's only going to last for... Havalon's going to last. When the truck dumped all the fucking vaccine out in Waco, Texas or wherever they was, they gave it to the traffic
Starting point is 01:55:36 because we was going to waste it. It can't be used after a certain time. What if that were the case with chips? And these extra 10 billion chips were only to be good. That we spent $200 billion on. And we can only use these for the next three years. We're going to find a way.
Starting point is 01:55:53 Do y'all think that there's somebody at a table somewhere that's going to come up with a new use of chips? I'm out. That's it. That's it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:56:04 I'm done. Because I don't know shit. I dropped out. That's it. That's it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. No, no, no. I'm done. Because I don't know shit. I dropped out. For real, I left. Somebody's going to find a use. You got to ask Neil about that next time. Somebody's going to find. You got to ask Neil about that next time.
Starting point is 01:56:14 Somebody's going to find a use for them chips on a mass scale. And then you, it kind of only leads to, find a way to put this on a person. Bro, if you really want to get want gang conspiracy land niggas been saying that this was gonna happen 20 years ago i'm gonna argue with neil next time i fucking see him because that's that's where me and him gonna i'm like mad human and he's mad planet okay so when i say neil what is the worst case scenario with space pollution and all that shit that we're surrounding the planet with? Like, what could happen? He says, oh, well, asteroid could hit that shit and all that shit could tumble down here.
Starting point is 01:56:50 But you don't like Uber? You don't like what you're getting from all of that stuff out there? He likes the idea of how space can enable Earth. He's not wrong. He's not. He's not. You don't like GPS. But if you a human
Starting point is 01:57:06 human human human like he almost got mad I heard it a little bit when I said hey Neil all that shit is cool but like where's our cancer research money going
Starting point is 01:57:13 he got ticked off a little bit he said fam if you knew the money that was going into space research you would never say that to me again
Starting point is 01:57:22 see and I wasn't really directing it at him I was just saying hey don't you think that more money from somewhere should go to cancer research or what are they doing with the money he took that as like a slap into me nasa he also pointed out that they spend way more money on cancer research than mad they do on uh anything space not military no well that's different. But if you talk to him,
Starting point is 01:57:46 he'll explain why you need the Space Force. It's deep out there. Anyway, shout out to Neil. We love you, Neil. Yeah. And we're talking music next time I talk to you.
Starting point is 01:57:53 Yeah, you gotta do it again. Yeah, you definitely have to do that again. You gotta ask him about the microchip, though. I'd be curious to see his stance on that. This chip stuff, man.
Starting point is 01:58:00 It's real. It's happening, man. This is all pushing towards a new world order. The robot sniper dog? No. They strapped a gun to one of them little man. It's real. It's happening, man. This is all pushing towards the robot sniper dog. No, they strapped a gun
Starting point is 01:58:08 to one of them little robot dog shits they have. They're planning on rolling them out at some point in the military. So there's a robot
Starting point is 01:58:16 dog sniper. Hey, no, Alex, don't leave that because I want to read that like I promised I would
Starting point is 01:58:21 for the audience. April 2020 was the month of pink slips as the rapid spread of covid19 resulted in the loss of 20.5 million jobs then fall 2021 is the dawn of their revenge a record-breaking 4.3 million americans quit their jobs in august across an array of industries according to a report released released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's the highest level since, uh, fam. No, I want to keep going here. This is interesting. That's the highest level since the agency started tracking such data in 2000 and the sixth consecutive month of sky high quitting rates.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Meanwhile, the 7.7 million people who remain unemployed aren't for the most part jumping at the roughly 10.4 million job openings leaving businesses after leaving business after business with help wanted uh placards in their windows you want me what else do we even need to read there we don't even those stats may seem puzzling after months they don't seem puzzling we've been tracking this for a year we've been saying it to you
Starting point is 01:59:30 employees don't niggas is off it man we don't need to get deep we can keep this real simple look what he says employees don't want to return to back breaking or boring
Starting point is 01:59:41 low wage shit jobs that's just it. That's it. That's it right there. And what has happened? You got away with it for so long that... What has happened?
Starting point is 01:59:53 Wages are super stagnated. It happened for 30, 40 years. People went home and was forced. People went home. Well, they started doing some thinking. And was forced to think. Was forced to think. You had them in the hamster wheel.
Starting point is 02:00:02 And you let them off the hamster wheel. And they saw some... And I'm not going back to running that wheel for this bullshit money when you start talking about people in America not being able to just maintain a living fuck thrive, fuck succeed and progress just maintaining a living
Starting point is 02:00:19 niggas are literally living paycheck to paycheck the paychecks don't even be enough millions of dollars are going to either CEOs or shuffling off into offshore accounts. There's going to be a shakedown. I read an article the other day. Goodell. Roger. He makes
Starting point is 02:00:35 $40 million a year, my nigga. I was like, huh? Damn. Was it $40 million? Yeah, $40 40 40 or 50 million i was like damn hold up real quick let me just say this to circle back to that identity chip thing yeah know what the chip inside of us fixes that the chip in the phone can't what's that the identity theft yes and no how how these phones use biometrics for a spell.
Starting point is 02:01:05 A crook going to find a way to circumvent the real shit. That's what. Might lead to some severed limbs, honestly. No, not even. Seriously. No, you're right. They'll find a way. Just an example.
Starting point is 02:01:15 Quick example. Sounds a lot tougher already. It's tough. Hear me out. Minority report. Still in eyes. Quick example. You know the little key cards you use to open an office door, open a building?
Starting point is 02:01:25 They can hack it. You could copy that and write it with a $4 reader. Now, that's just low level. What I'm saying is once you put a chip somewhere, there's a mind out there that will find out how to copy that chip. They started saying that the little chip in the credit card, instead of swiping no more your card that will prevent it from being cloned etc etc know what happened the crooks catch up it made it harder though but they caught up it's the permanent they caught up what you're saying is correct because a chip will always lead to another side of something if a chip inside of your body leads to a number that they've now associated to your heart and your
Starting point is 02:02:07 heart only or your anything that is identifiable in only you then that's going to give those guys a hard or your blood type or yeah that's going to give them harder it's going to give them a hard week guys it is they'll get around it they will do it but it still it still won't be... It's a cat and mouse game that every piece of technology faces. It won't be mass massly done. If that's not even a word. Mass produced. The niggas in Brooklyn that's getting the shit off, and I'm just saying Brooklyn.
Starting point is 02:02:35 I have no information if the feds are watching. But the niggas that's getting that shit off some of them would have to find some other things to do. I'll figure it out. Some of them ain't that damn savvy. They might not figure it out day one, but they'll catch it.
Starting point is 02:02:51 It'll take a minute. They'll catch it. Day 60, they'll be onto something. You damn near would have to kill somebody. I don't think so. All right, well, come on. Let's move on.
Starting point is 02:03:00 This is all in conspiracy theorist land. You were making a point. I didn't mean to. No, I was just saying, I didn't know he made that much bread. He makes $40-$50 million a year. That's crazy to me. That's low compared to some of these other motherfuckers out here.
Starting point is 02:03:12 That's not crazy to me. Okay, I guess. I'm running the NFL. Yeah, I know. I need to get paid, buddy. The biggest non-profit in the world. I ain't going to keep seeing Pat Mahomes and some of these other dudes making $50 million. I ain't getting it.
Starting point is 02:03:27 They redid his contract recently. And this is off the head, so you can Google this. You can look it up and fact check it. When all the players was on his ass, the owner said, no, we like him. He's doing a great job. And when they renewed it, I said, oh, okay. They really like him. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:42 And then they announced how much he was making. I was like, oh, yeah. then they announced how much he was making I was like oh yeah it's more than meets the eye he's more valuable than the consumer is supposed to know there's a reason the owners fuck with him
Starting point is 02:03:53 I bet it is it's all big business big business you keeping our good old boy network moving keeping it quiet yeah like
Starting point is 02:04:01 fuck you talking about but we were talking about wages wages wages people got off the hamster wheel Keeping it quiet. Yeah, like, fuck you talking about? But we were talking about... Wait, wages. The wages. Wages. Wages. People got off the hamster wheel.
Starting point is 02:04:09 Found, a bunch of them, found other ways to make money. Yeah. No, not just to make money. Make more money. That's it. That's what I mean. Or the same money, but I'm... Or the same money with less work.
Starting point is 02:04:21 With less work, right? Which is more money. Found a talent, pursuing a dream. I'm not going back to that. Right. No. And I don't blame talent pursuing a dream I'm not going back to that no and I don't blame y'all I'm not mad at them
Starting point is 02:04:29 I'm not mad at them when Jokers was sitting home on an unemployment shit I wasn't mad at them of course not I wasn't mad at all like yo get it
Starting point is 02:04:36 if you can get it get it CEOs getting billion dollar bonuses while you out here busting your ass at low level jobs get that money man
Starting point is 02:04:43 I'm not mad at that at all I'm not mad at how nobody eat steak I'm not mad how nobody eats steak. I think the government's going to have to revamp some shit. I think they are going to have, yo, dog, around my way, they had help wanted signs in the Wawa for $19 an hour, dog, at Wawa. You know, there's a help wanted sign. With 401K, paid tuition reimbursement.
Starting point is 02:05:02 $800, yeah, like $800 sign on bonuses and all that shit for Wawa. I was like, damn, $ of this shit at Wawa and all that shit for Wawa I was like damn 40 grand at Wawa but then that goes back to a previous point that you made so what happens
Starting point is 02:05:11 when these companies gotta up it to 18, 19, 20 whatever cause they not gonna take a loss most of them won't they not gonna take
Starting point is 02:05:18 the loss out of at the back end like people argue with me but most of them won't we gonna make that money up somewhere And it ain't gonna be coming out of my pocket
Starting point is 02:05:26 So that coffee not $2 no more It's $2.89 That Daily News is $3 now That's Daily News $3 The Daily News being $3 It's really Crazy A day
Starting point is 02:05:36 I'm just saying What do you feel about that? About what? The people not wanting to go back to work for bullshit I love it Support it I love it pay people more pay people more give people more like let them work from home yeah whatever they are some some type of concession whatever whatever the concession can be but rights need to go to the people now yeah to make the world function because we saw what happened
Starting point is 02:06:02 when the world stopped functioning and i think that it backfired on them i don't think that they thought they didn't anticipate that yeah i don't think that they thought that yeah they didn't they didn't check their facebook the people didn't realize how much power they held that's i'm joking but that's really what happened that's true wake up call yeah yeah the people did not realize oh shit they don't know i don't have to do this we We off the Kyrie thing. I don't want to revisit it. But just imagine, right? The athlete is the product.
Starting point is 02:06:34 Just imagine if, because really, in the beginning, everybody was saying they wasn't getting vaccinated, right? Some of the major heavy hitters, LeBron, all of them were saying they wasn't getting vaccinated right some of the major heavy hitters lebron all of them were saying they weren't getting vaccinated but just imagine 25 of the top nba players said we're not getting it they go revisit that california revisits that new york that's when the loopholes start getting made because it's too much money to being generated from these 25 people. Kyrie stands alone on an island, so he can be ostracized. But when you take Kyrie, LeBron, Kawhi Leonard, AD, Trey, fucking... You get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:07:16 When you start doing that, the people have the power. The athletes have the power. But everybody doesn't feel that way about this particular subject. I would put a board with a cap situation. Anything. If the NFL would have done... I was going to the power. But everybody doesn't feel that way about this particular subject. I'm not disagreeing. I would put a board with cap situation. Well, anything. If the NFL would have done, I was going to the NFL. The NFL would have done and realized that us, the athletes, we have the power. And if they would have basically stood together for that particular agenda, they would have
Starting point is 02:07:39 rewrote some shit. Fam, I take, we ain't got to go that far. Remember when the Buc bucks decided we wasn't gonna play yeah milwaukee yeah milwaukee bucks yo we're not playing we sitting out we boycotting and other teams like you know we're gonna do that too what would have happened had everybody rolled with them instead what happened was some of your higher up names started convinced no no let's play we could We can impact more change from within.
Starting point is 02:08:07 That's the mistake right there. They start having meetings with some of the top dogs. LeBron was like, yo, we can forfeit the season. I don't give a fuck. You know Kawhi didn't care. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:16 In case you didn't know, Kawhi was with that. He was with it. Wait, we can stay home? I'm staying home. You want to work from home too? Stay home anyway. Shooting, jumping from home.
Starting point is 02:08:23 You got Barack Obama contacting LeBron and them to, yo, now y'all should end this. Can y'all play, please? Can y'all play? Look at that. Yeah. There's a problem in there that nobody really want to talk about. It's strength in numbers, bro.
Starting point is 02:08:38 Y'all had it. We see y'all got it. So we got to send somebody in there to break that shit up. Somebody that y'all going to look up to. Somebody that y'all are going to look up to. We got to get somebody in there because y'all was getting ready we gotta send somebody in there to break that shit up. Somebody that y'all gonna look up to. Somebody that y'all are gonna look up to. We gotta get somebody in there cause y'all was getting ready to fuck this whole thing up. And sadly there's only two black men you could call.
Starting point is 02:08:53 Barack and Jay. You gotta call Jay-Z or Barack Obama my nigga to make the young black man dance. You can only call two people. Malcolm Farrakhan. Dependent.
Starting point is 02:09:08 But they're the only three you can call. That's crazy, son. They had them. They had them right there. You can call Big U, too. I can go through some names of people that can impact change. Powerful man. He's not strong enough.
Starting point is 02:09:21 Respect him, but... I'm not going to say that. No, no, I'm just saying, in a wide scale, Big U could reach the youth, I think, or the street cats, more so than the corporate black men. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:09:36 You got to get LeBron. I mean, you got to get Jay. You got to get Obama. I thought you were just talking about sending a message to black men. No, no, no, no, no. We were talking about, in a sense, like... That's a demo.
Starting point is 02:09:45 Big U has mad influence in that demo. Yeah. Street niggas look up to him like God. Yeah. Right? He's relatable. He been where I been. You can't tell me nothing.
Starting point is 02:09:55 Barack can't tell me nothing if I'm a street kid. Big U can't. You understand what I'm saying? I'm talking about on a wide scale, black men universally, you got to go get jailed. Like, we talking about- They'll put on a TV to send a message. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we talking about with a wide scale black men universally you gotta go get jailed like we're talking about like they put on a tv to send yeah yeah like we're talking about with the with the lockout i mean the boycott they had to go get barack to say you'll talk to them and make them come back and play please but he but who did barack had to talk to barack yeah that's what we're saying
Starting point is 02:10:20 so i mean i'm what you got guys. On the subject of lockouts and all that shit, did you guys read about the Netflix employees? A thousand Netflix employees are going to walk out in protest of Chappelle's
Starting point is 02:10:30 show. So something you read did put the number at thousands of employees? Yeah, this is from Gizmodo. That's the headline.
Starting point is 02:10:37 I think it was a thousand. At least a thousand. Roughly, I'm sure. Do I believe Gizmodo? I can't remember if they're one of the ones I believe or
Starting point is 02:10:44 block out. There's a few I just block out. I think I saw it from multiple places? I mean... I can't remember if they're one of the ones I believe or block out. There's a few I just block out. I think I saw it from multiple places. All right, but let's leave it at 1,000. All right. Well, the Netflix CEO comes out every hour to double down on his stance. He does. He does.
Starting point is 02:10:56 Every hour, he reminds us, yo, I'm standing there. And he went on a Twitter rant that was well put. Articulated. Wow. He bodied it. I didn't see his rant. He bodied it. I didn't see his rant. Damn well put. Articulated. Wow. He bodied it. I didn't see his rant. He bodied it. I didn't see his rant. Damn, dude, let me try to see if I can find it. He said something about violence being in movies and being on screen
Starting point is 02:11:13 and nobody says anything. Right. He killed it. My point to the thousand people walking out is I think it kind of proves the point that Chappelle was making. You are basically making Chappelle's point. So they said I've been on Twitter. They had some shit. They had Chappelle dressed up like Pookie. They had him dressed up
Starting point is 02:11:29 in like three or four different really derogatory roles. And they said nobody said a fucking thing when he was targeting that particular demo. But now y'all want to stand and go crazy and stomp your feet when he targets this demo. and not only
Starting point is 02:11:45 that netflix has uh shows the 13 reasons why our kids were killing themselves they had the show with the uh little kids in the dance competition whatever that was all types of super violent fucking terrible shits all types of shit just all type we touched on that too he said we've stood firm in our positioning before when trouble came he didn't say trouble but alright he can't find a rant so let me try
Starting point is 02:12:10 but this is the thing that that Dave was basically saying too and I'ma I'ma take it a step further one of the fans hit me one of the fans hit me and said yo Ish
Starting point is 02:12:22 I love what you guys are doing blah blah blah blah blah So he brought up this And he brought up the Lil Nas X shit He brought up the Dave Chappelle shit He brought up the Lil Nas X shit Yo I'm on the toilet
Starting point is 02:12:32 And I'm just Me and him just going back and forth Back and forth Back and forth So he was a gay dude From D.C. Right
Starting point is 02:12:39 And he's just kicking it And I said yo What did Dave Chappelle say That you as a gay man Disagreed with He said nothing I said yo um what did Dave Chappelle say that you as a gay man disagreed with he said nothing I said okay so he made a statement saying I've never targeted the LGBTQ plus community I targeted I'm targeting the whites he said yo you can't be a downtrodden society and want people to be empathetic right if you're not showing empathy to other downtrodden people in society you can't be a gay white person right and feel for discrimination against gays if you're racist because then you got to feel for discrimination against blacks or spanish we we we
Starting point is 02:13:27 do the the asian hate thing right we do the asian hate rightly so right but a lot of asian people don't fuck with blacks so you can't feel marginalized over here and you want pity but then you don't show that same grace to other people that are marginalized and he ran a circle and came right back to the same point and dropped the mic and said, yo, stop beating down my people. Or stop punching down on my people. You're potty. You're stupid, yo.
Starting point is 02:13:52 I just give credit where credit's due, my brother. So that's the conversation that I had with the dude. So I don't see, if you feel something, y'all be blinded. It's like, it's a blind thing. Like, at my girl's job, they were talking about, it was a little while ago on Shore Hills Mall. This black girl got punched by a teacher, a school teacher, in the mall in Victoria's Secret.
Starting point is 02:14:20 And she recorded the whole thing. The cops came, didn't do nothing to the white lady. She's like, no, no, no, lock her up. And I punched her, y'all put me in cuffs. Y'all not even kicking her out the mall. That's what I remember. And her co-workers said,
Starting point is 02:14:32 yo, I don't see why the girl just kept the camera on the whole time. I think that was wrong. And I said, yo, fam, how do you turn the victim into the villain? Talking about she was
Starting point is 02:14:43 recording it too long right no nigga i'm recording it long so that the story can't get misconstrued when it gets relayed it's all on video you can't you get what i'm saying i i don't understand how well you taping you taping our crimes is a crime yeah the guy that taped eric garnigan killed went to jail yeah and they raided his house like the same week. Yeah. That's nuts, bro. So that's what he's saying. Basically, like you can't pick and choose when you want to be empathetic.
Starting point is 02:15:14 You can't pick and choose when it's Me Too movement. He used Susan B. Anthony and what's the black lady from back in the day? That's Don't Help Me Is. Harry Tuff. Not Harry Tuff. Sojourner Truth. Sojourner Truth. He said, yo yo Susan B. Anthony And them were all
Starting point is 02:15:27 For these women's rights And they invited Sojourner Truth To their Former And when she went to speak They said no no no bitch You can't speak
Starting point is 02:15:35 Huh I thought we For the downtrodden But now I'm further down Than y'all Y'all white women I'm a black woman So I'm going even further
Starting point is 02:15:43 Like that's all Hypocrisy and bullshit to me. And that's his message for the whole show. That was his message. The closer. That was his message. And if you missed over that, you intentionally missed over it. I was going to say, they did it on purpose.
Starting point is 02:15:56 They're hypocrites. Don't want to point out their own hypocrisy and want to be comfortable in it. Like, yo, yeah, he's right. But so what? I agree. That's all I'm getting from this. I'm not taking it down shit. That's all I get from this.
Starting point is 02:16:11 I appreciate that too. I appreciate the owner of Netflix is not being bullied to take it down. He's not going to take it down because of the numbers and the money it's pulling in. Let's be real here. Because if it wasn't doing that, it would be down.
Starting point is 02:16:26 I knew he was going to say that. No, I'm just like, yeah, all that sounds good, but we not stupid. All of this sounds amazing. It's just making more motherfuckers go see what he said. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:16:35 At the end of the day, I win. So yeah, get mad. I'll issue a statement. Keep talking about it. He could lose money though. You could lose sponsorship dollars. You could lose et cetera, et cetera. But I get your point.
Starting point is 02:16:46 We giving him $20 million a show. A $20 million a special. We need to recoup that. Fam, this is staying up. I don't care what y'all say. What's your stance? The whites got to go deal with Spotify and Joe Rogan before I deal with this. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:04 Elaborate. Nope. Or not. Joe Rogan is on Spotify offending everybody in the world. Whenever he feels like it. He says whatever he wants. He says whatever the fuck he wants.
Starting point is 02:17:17 And he has the license to do so. Encouraged. Yeah, they're pushing him. Keep doing it. Spotify don't ever come out and have to give a comment on their thoughts about it. They going through age. Spotify workers, we come out and have to give a comment on their thoughts about it. They're going through.
Starting point is 02:17:26 Hey, Spotify workers, we walking out. Spotify, the other podcasters. Yo, what the fuck y'all letting them do? Spotify don't get to say shit. The most they do is they'll pull an episode. So now because somebody's black. Because Joe Rogan ruffled the same feathers. And worse.
Starting point is 02:17:42 And some. He did. And some. But now because somebody's black, got to hear from netflix's decision netflix cancel him get him out of here no no no no no you bring that down the street to your community you do that i agree because on my side even if you write ice and the netflix ceo ted is only doing this because there's money involved. I am so glad that he built his business to the point where he can make that stance
Starting point is 02:18:10 next to a black man. Yes. And he don't have to succumb to public pressure and we see somebody have to be out of a job. Yeah, I'm glad about that. I agree. Thank you, Netflix. Thank you.
