Paws, if necessary. Now you want to get on the bus. It's so frustrating. Fam, I'm not a rain.

You've been a rain guy since I've known you. I don't know somebody that likes to rain other than you. For real? Yeah. That's weird. Oh, everybody else is weird. No, your friend palette should fucking widen. I'm sorry.

I need the, I need all the seasons. Yeah. I can't live down South or out West. And I need everything. Yeah. I need all that shit. It's like the women up here that live in New York.

They'd just be like, I'm never coming outside until it's hot. I only like the hot. I love it when it's hot. The sun. You know why? I need the sun. You know why?

You know why? You know why they like that? It's not hot. It's cold. You know why? You know why they do that? Snow is February. You never heard chicks do that? It's not hot. It's cold. You know why they do that? No, it's February. You never heard chicks do that?

Yes. Yeah. I've heard a million different women do that. Why? It's cold. Did you practice that? No. No, I'm talking about the void.

Oh, no. I used to answer your question as anemia, I think. No, it's not. What? Summertime, all events are free. You ain't really got to throw it on the dress. Oh, no. I used to answer your question as anemia, I think. No, it's not. Summertime, all events are free. You ain't really got to throw it on the dress. You can just throw some skimpy shit on it and be cool. When it get cold, you got to really go in the closet.

And it costs to go places when it's cold. Now, if you fly, a lot of them ain't fly. They only fly in the summertime. Yeah, I ain't going to hold you. I'm about to go on an unfollowing spree on the gram I seen too I seen too many of them try to get dressed oh my god

different they totally ruined it I can never see you the same I just can't my eyes but anyway what's up what we starting with

music music let's get right a lot of music dropped so start with music a lot of music dropped a lot let's start with music. A lot of music dropped. A lot of music. Really?

Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. It was a crowded little release day. We had Nicki and Lil Baby. We did. Nicki's return with a big single. And she's been really kind of promoting this.

With a very dramatic 90s throwback video that was a mini movie, nine minutes long. Tommy's in it playing a cop. Maybe a little more applicable. You a guy? Did y'all hear the song?

I did. Of course. Any thoughts? It's cool. It's probably a little too poppy for me, but I get it. I think it'll work. Nice first single to come back with.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Great single single it's a single song great single yeah like if i'm judging this with my single ears i like it the beat is hard i like what she did i like what he did and i like the melodic hooks from her me too yeah i do she got wolverine on it you know i think this can't miss with him perfect like you said, perfect comeback single. You got the biggest rapper, one of the biggest rappers there is, or the hottest rapper right now. He's Wolverine. Yeah.

Wolverine. That nigga's Wolverine. He don't miss. But yeah, and Baby smoked it. She smoked it. Wait, let me hear Ish's Wolverine metaphor, what he said. He don't miss? Yeah.

The hell does that have to do with it? I was just letting him come. That little nigga good. You know, My favorite superhero, Wolverine. He's the man. That little nigga's Wolverine, yo. You said Batman

and something might have been with you. Never. Disrespect little baby calling nigga no bum ass Batman. That little nigga's Wolverine. I didn't know Wolverine

was your favorite superhero but now that we're here. Hey yo, if Wolverine was black, he'd be the greatest of all time. He'd be Black Panther. I just didn. If Wolverine was black, he'd be the greatest of all time. He'd be Black Panther. I just didn't get Wolverine.

He don't miss. And Batman is a bum, yo. All right. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not about to do that. Y'all so disrespectful. Batman helped me down.

You disrespect and call our little nigga Batman. Batman the truth. We're not about to do that. All right. All right. My last question for you. If Batman is the truth, then what's Bane? Because he cleaned that city up with Batman.

Quick fast. Oh, the whole movie. He lost the fight. He lost the fight. That nigga locked him in fucking underground. He got out. I'm talking about the end of the movie. Yo, Ice, yo, stop this.

Stop, yo. For real Bane beat the dog shit out of Batman In a fair one Didn't at the end of that They had to pass the reins to Robin? No I don't think so

At the end of it At the end of that movie They didn't pass the reins to Robin Yeah I bet I had to go watch it again You know what I do remember In that movie? Batman getting his ass beat in the whole movie.

His back broke. Yeah. It is Wolverine and Don't Miss. Let's just go ahead. No, I'm calling homeboy Wolverine because I like him. Because he's ill. Yeah. Because he fucks with Wolverine.

I get it. There you go. I was lost with the Wolverine, Don't Miss part. I know. I'm saying I called him Wolverine. I wasn't saying Wolverine. I get it. There you go. See? I was lost with the Wolverine don't miss part. I know. I'm saying I called him Wolverine. I wasn't saying Wolverine don't miss. You ever wrote a rap? No.

I don't believe you. I did. You never wrote one rap? He's been fucking a long time. Nigga, what was you doing in your spare time as a kid? You never tried to put pen to paper? I ain't never wrote a rap. And I got rappers in the family.

You a liar. I promise you I've never written a rap. Never. What? Never. Never even tried to rap. I'm not a creative, my nigga. I've never tried to write a rap.

Yo, young boys, y'all ever written a rap? Absolutely. Of course. Yeah, exactly. Because y'all are men. No, because they told me something. Have you ever shot a jump shot? You ever been to the park?

That's what I did in my spare time. I was in the park at 8.30 in the morning, nigga. All right, so one day maybe y'all got to try to. No. What would your opening line be? Like today? It's going to be on this rock. I'm asking.

Oh, 100%. What would your opening line be? I have no clue. I've never even tried that in my mind. But think real quick. I can't put me on the spot to think of a rap, and I can't rap. I don't want to rap. I just want your opening line.

What would you want to be represented with the first time audio hits? What do you want the first thing? That's a tough question, though, because like. Yo, somebody going to come up with some fly shit on the cuff. The opening line is like one of the hardest things to write. Use for you. Not when it's your introduction. Because you could kind of say anything.

And if you say it hard. You can't say anything. And if you're not a writer. If nobody ever heard you before, that's shit. You gotta come with some shit. Yeah, you gotta come out. It's your thesis, nigga. You gotta come with some shit.

Oh, I disagree with y'all. What was your first line in your first rap? Focus? First line? No. No, I'm talking was your first line in your first rap focus first line no no I'm talking about your first professionally

your first well that don't count because the songs that you do and the songs how they're released are different so the first song

I recorded as a recording artist was Don't Lie Ma I don't even know if that song ever came out. No, I'm saying, but your first song we heard was Focus. Actually, it was leaked. Yeah, it was leaked. Yeah, Focus. What was your first line?

Salutations. It's not a line, you bitch ass nigga. It's an ad-lib. That's not a line. Yes, it is. We're talking about the verse. That is Focus, Star. Salutations. See?

Streetball, black top with it. Oh my God, that guy was nice. Right? Something like that. Streetball on the black top with it. Nah, that guy was ill. Still on your block with it. Oh my God.

That's a good opening line. Still on your block with it. See, I'm not on nobody's block. Nah, that's a dope way to start some shit. Because then it was about just letting them know that you could rap. So you just command attention. Still on the block with it. Oh, come on, man.

Stop playing with Joe. Still on your block with it. See, it's a very simple. It's simple. But it commands attention. But anyway, come on. What we talking about? Nicky and Lil Baby. Ice, you're right. I could tell that a lot of attention was paid to this.

I can tell because Nicky is at the Clippers game. She did a late night run. She did a late night run. She's been on with Kevin Samuel. She did her internet thing run. She's been on with Kevin Samuels. She did her internet thing. She gave him something.

She gave him something on the City Girl T that a star of her magnitude don't normally get. Yeah, yeah. So when you give it, you know what happens. They squashed it or they talk behind the scenes. That was dope. You could just tell a lot of attention is being paid to her. I mean, to her shit by her. As it should be.

I mean, yeah, but when you wanted a great, she want to come back proper. Like when comedians come back. To me, this is a proper comeback. She's hit every check mark. You got to address all of the issues. I did this, I did this, I did this. And the music matches.

As a mother Throwing that in there Yeah It's important And I mean Even what they were doing For the two weeks Leading up to this shit

Both her and Lil Baby Little teasers Yeah it's dope It's dope Now This is the single I think it's dope

For a single If I'm listening With my single ears That little preview Of the next record though That sounded right too Yep Yes sir Yes sir Yeah it sounded like something I will wait on it a single if I'm listening with my single ears. That little preview of the next record, though. That sounded right, too. Yes, sir. I will wait on it.

I think somebody's going to get their ass thrown up. I just know her to do that when she comes out. That's a Joe thing. I'm not starting friction. Nikki's a rapper. Like you said, this is... I got to let you niggas know how I'm feeling

niggas from Queens yo I'm a real rapper and I'm gonna tear somebody's head off hey look I'm a Barb so just so y'all clear I love it I'd be a Barb too but then I beef with the Barbs but I've done that with everybody

yeah it's easy to do with people with the super active fan bases it's easy to beef with people with the super active fan bases. It's easy to beef with them. You saw, she sat up there with Kevin Samuels. He ducked the smoke. He made sure to not say nothing wrong. Like, no, no, no, no, no. You are nine.

You are a nine. You are this, this, this. He gave her a nine, that's what he said? Yeah. He gave her a nine. Yeah, he gave her a nine. Not saying she didn't deserve it, but. I was about to say, but to be honest,

what could you say?'t say anything but he gave some other people no i'm just saying what could he really say he knew better what was the one point deduction is my question she gave herself a seven and he's like no you're not a seven you're a nine you're oh that's dope. And look at Kev. Look at Kev be dressing for. Nah, Kev up there blushing. Kev up there blushing. Aw, yeah. He a little fidgety. You're just shaking his hands. That nigga's usually sitting back like the mask. You drinking a Red Bull.

That's maybe why he was shaky a little bit. Oh, yeah, okay. I bet. All right, come on. Let's move on right along because we got important shit to get to. We got more singles. Okay, come on. Go ahead, right along cause we got important shit to get to we got more singles um okay

come on go ahead man y'all get this shit out you wanna go to Gotti go ahead I do too I'm trying to get to other shit so we can get to it

we don't gotta do none of that we don't have to then we go right to it that nigga ain't playing y'all Gotti out y'all get all this out the way that's what I tried to do

go ahead alright I ain't hear none of it. Me either. That's why. Go ahead Ice Parks. I heard YG and Cole and Moneybagg. Yeah I'm cool.

I'm cool. I like Cole's verse. That's all I got for it. All right what's next? Yo Gotti. Yeah fuck this. That was all. Enough is enough all Enough is enough

Enough is enough We should've opened with that I know I was trying to do it a nice way I was trying to do it I was trying to warm up There you go You give me parks Yo when it

When it When When an album Is crafted This way I think it demands Special attention So yeah maybe normally

We would just get into the singles and rush right by this. I don't even normally focus on that side. And y'all know I don't particularly focus on the street side of things. But, man. So look, go ahead. Go ahead.

So I walk in Joe's crib, I crib like yo you know a bunch of music drop skip all of it get your goddy album yeah oh yeah yeah just i explained it's two albums i was getting it anyway i was gonna get it anyway too i kind of went through a similar experience i downloaded all those million singles that dropped i downloaded chain shit and I was like I saw Yo Gotti was two albums I'm like I don't know if I'm gonna be able to squeeze this in but I listened to all

the other shit kinda ran through it didn't really find much that I was in love with so I was like you know let me throw on Gotti and I'll take a shower and work out and shit

what happened then he started hugging man he started hugging God damn he put out a good album fam so Yo Gotti dropped

two albums correct well it's a double disc, right? It's free game. One side is free, one side is game. One side is the

street Yo Gotti and the other side is like the executive Yo Gotti. The business. The business. There we go.

Which one is the street Yo Gotti? That one is free. A? A. Okay. And then game is executive Yo Gotti

giving you game. Oh, that shit. I was just listening to the music. But man, from record one, intro. Yo. I didn't make it to the second album until, damn near, I got here. Yeah. I've been playing this back all day long.

This is a great podcast. This is incredible. Yeah, it is. And I'm not the biggest Yo Gotti fan me neither I know his singles and shit like that but he

I'm not from when I say I'm not a big fan it's just I never really listened to his albums before yeah he's been on an incline in albums this is phenomenal

for a minute this is great he had one of the his last album Un I forget the name of it Un Unstop

Untrapped something Untrapped, something. Untrapped was one of the best albums to come out that year. I gotta go back now. Yes, you do. To the albums.

Like I said, I know his singles, I know his features. Even this, this, CM, Cocaine Music, started off as a mixtape series.

Okay. He did a couple of them, a couple of them are like straight street classics. And now, I think it was the last two, he released them as albums. Remember we had a conversation where Meek said Dream Chasers for an album versus mixtape. Something similar.

So this is an album now. And smoked. Smoked. He's been on a smoking spree. Every beat, every feature. He just, he got it. Nah, what I like, got like got it though he be saying something yes he does like to me of course me like i just come from lyrical rap so when these niggas just be rhyming words you'll lose me yeah i'll start drifting off this nigga be saying something he keep you pulled in every word he writing it means something you know i'm saying

and then the beats hit little accent i gotta get around but this shit dope the production i really like the production was it for me top notch yo who who did these beats they were relative i'm not familiar with a lot of the names on it i mean there probably was a couple but it wasn't that's even like no superstar producers to me that's even better whole bunch of young niggas a million hungry tracks million i know yeah we know yeah there's a couple in there forever rolling forever rolling we know see but that's the other thing right like best of the best everywhere there's nowhere where it looked like the budgets were short production, the features that I'm sure you didn't have to pay for, the cohesiveness, the sequencing.

I give credit to that to his ear, though, because, again, they're not... There is some... Tay Keith is on there, like you said, tracks a million, but there's not like a million superstar producers every track. That's dope to me. To me, that's a credit to his ear and to his team's ear to make it sound like a very expensive album, even while not necessarily having the superstar producers. Well, that's the first thing that To me, that's a credit to his ear and to his team's ear to make it sound like a very expensive album even while not necessarily

having the superstar producers. Well, that's the first thing that grabbed me because track 2-1-A This beat I'm not used to them picking these.

You're not used to Yo Gotti. It go Oh my God. This is sick. See, this is my type of shit. because he does it go round now oh my god you know what else he Like, he really painted a very graphic picture of his story from way back to today. And that's the other thing that's impressive. If you listen to the song Rap Check, that's literally what he does. He starts from Birdman gave me my first rap check. And he walks you through his career to where he got Nicky on the five star record.

It was number one on 106 to Drake mentioned in certain lines that he got from being around seeing them do. Right. Like he walks you through his. I started way back here. Yeah. I'm a fan for production from when Southern rappers get like some soulful shit and put the bop to it. I'm a sucker for it. And that's this whole album.

Oh, man, man. That's a true. Jesus. That shit is hard yo Yeah One thing What I always Y'all know This is my bag right here

So Gotti Is When you got them older Like older I don't call them older generation But he not one of these young dudes No I don't know

That been through it Lived it Survived it And i'm really talking about what i've been through like i got some real shit to say i'm not just like it said i'm not just putting words together or i'm not telling nobody else's story right y'all know my thing is authenticity i want to feel like everything you're saying i don't even just mean street shit i mean just everything you're saying i want to feel like it's you. It's nobody else. Gotti wanted the best of that.

Niggas give you the hurt. Niggas give you the pain. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's dope. Nigga tell you about the losses I took in the game. Like, just, it ain't all good. I'm giving you everything. But it's really me.

Another thing I like about it, too, is, you know, I'm always hard on long albums. But this is still, it's a lot of songs, but it's not really that long it's only an hour yeah you know i'm saying like it's concise i like it yeah you're right ice because i mean yeah street shit aside but when he was talking about all the successful shit like he was like i'm on the phone with lucian as soon as he said that as soon as he said i'm on the phone with lucian i'm like no i believe that that's true yeah wouldn't he be yeah of course yeah well and then said right after that I'm talking gang and after that I'm talking

gangsta shit with Hov I believe that yeah cause you gotta respect it not just on the artist side but on the exec side and that's why the evolution is phenomenal

to me he's he has placed himself in a different stratosphere than some people whose peaks seem to be

seem to be a lot brighter and a lot more endless if you understand what I'm saying I'm gonna say it I said I've said it on here plenty of times Yo Gotti is who me and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people thought jay-z would

become given like you said higher peaks you had the whole rap game in your hand at one point just the exact side didn't quite work out but there's a lot of artists at the exact site that work out. So what I'm saying is, but, Gotti, it worked out. And he tells you in his records, I'm not taking them deals.

Yeah, such and such offered me a hundred mil. No, we're going to own this. We good. But some of that could be a result

of not hitting that kind of superstar plateau. I don't think that. You know what I'm saying? It could be a result of they happen to get it my way. No, I just think a lot of these dudes come from the

street. And when you come from the street, you already a CEO when you're successful in the street. True. You get what I'm saying? So you already got a

certain level of business acumen and business dealings. That's one. Which he's talking about. They've been saying since they won. See, Jeezy was the front man for something out of

this world. Who knows about his involvement? Correct. But he was the front man for something out of this world. Who knows about his involvement? Correct. But he was the front man for it. Not so much the case with Yo Gotti. So it's like not fair. Jeezy is an artist. Yo Gotti is not.

Yeah. Like you could see the dudes that rise to the top in the executive piece, they think outside the box. You got to think outside the box. You know what I'm saying? It's like selling drugs. Everybody sells drugs. Well, it's a lot of people that sell drugs. But the people that excel are few and far between.

You could go on a corner in the hood, any hood in America, and see a bunch of dudes pitching. Right. But you don't see a bunch of young dudes supplying. You don't see a bunch of dudes break themselves off and stand, you know, against the rest. Like, you can see what he did in a short amount of time. Let me ask you this. Go ahead. It's like the Pusha T line, where he says, a rapper turned trapper can't morph into us,

but a trapper turned rapper can morph into Puff. That's true. Yeah. That's exactly what I think about. That's true. Yeah. That's exactly what I think about. That's true. You could tell who's really, when you get it in the street to a certain level and you make that transition,

it's rap game, crack game. Why do people say that about Jeezy and Yogati versus Jeezy and Gucci? I think perception. I think it's the perception why would that make sense i think it's perception because people perceived and again i don't know neither one of these gentlemen but people perceive gz to be you know bmf related all of that shit. I'm just saying, why would it be Yo Gotti instead of Gucci? I guess it's because Gucci's always been doing that. Gotti evolved into that. Gucci came in the game damn near doing that as an exec.

Okay. That makes sense. That makes sense. Gotti came in the game as a rapper and morphed into an exec and the kind of the same jay-z came in the game as a rapper and was morphing into an exec he signed artists and he was trying to break new artists and etc and i had groups here so they kind of their paths were a little more similar to to each other's than jay-z and gucci were but then that's where you see the hustler that's where you see the hustler.

That's where you see the businessman. Like, cool, I'm a basketball player, but when I retire, I already got my plan set to own a team.

You get what I mean? Like, I ain't going to be a commentator. No shot to commentators. I got a different vision. I'm going to own my own team. I'm putting shit in place so that I can own the Knicks

when I retire. A lot of dudes just be artists or, you know what I mean? They'll take that, the easier path. His shit was already laid out

from shit he probably already endured in life. Right. And not for nothing, his roster's insane. And bananas. Damn. Yeah.

Bananas. And he keep finding them. It might be the best. And, that speaks to his credit. Mm-hmm. Definitely. Currently,

for me anyway, preference wise. He might, he might have the best roster And that speaks to his credit. Definitely. Currently, for me anyway, preference-wise. He might have the best roster out. Some could argue, but for preference. QC. QC, right? QC. QC is an argument. That's definitely an argument.

QC is definitely an argument. That's definitely an argument. But he... I don't count QC. You got to. Why? It's finished. It's solidified. It's done. Concrete. they've moved on branched out

like they what they did is done i put them with cash money no limit this is brand spanking new estg money bag yo like i'm not 42 dog come on dog What the fuck These niggas are brunt Come on Black youngster Brand spanking new Now QC ain't Migos is We don't offer investments Look at where his brain is He's still doing shit

To try and find new talent You got the hottest niggas out You still doing little creative shit To find more hot niggas There's something that came up With that though The person that won that challenge I believe his name was Tencent, Onecent, something like that.

Excuse me for saying it wrong. He's featured on the album, on the record, Dollar for Dollar. I love that record. 10%. Excuse me, that's his name, 10%. And it was discovered that he himself, 10%, dropped the record back in 2020 under CMG so this might have been his artist the entire time

and this was just rollout if so it's still dope it's still dope it's innovative I like don't give me the same tricks all I did was

use my brain to roll out some shit that nobody else did nobody else did it everyone else is doing tricks I don't care I'm not mad no no no

I'm not mad at it I'm just got you and I still salute it. Me too. You had everybody and they mother doing a verse. That's promoting you. Or, look, you could still come down a year later and grab some of the niggas out that pot.

Yeah. Give me one of the greatest tricks that you've seen from an album rollout. For me, as y'all think, of course, it's Mike Jones. That was a good one that phone number shit that wasn't even an album that was just him roll out though that was just

yeah that wasn't even different one of the greatest tricks we was all laughing until we wasn't and then every label you still know that number then every label

was fucking trying to shove a burner down our down our artist's throat here here just let it ring get this phone number out that was a that was a ringtone error

that might have been a little bit before that before before ringtone error it was before definitely gotcha yeah that was a good one

I'm trying to think some other ones of course I got 50 and Kanye 50 versus Kanye that was a that was a cute trick that was dope

that was cute same label put these two out there big as axe Jay Z retiring 50 versus Kanye. That was a cute trick. That was dope. That was cute. Same label. Put these two out there big as X. Jay-Z retiring. Nah, I can't call that a trick. That was a trick, man. What are you talking about? He put out six albums afterwards.

I think initially when he did it, he said, Yeah, he was done then. Yeah, I think so. And then said, I can't stay away. I love the game too much I gotta come back can't leave rap alone the game

yeah man thank god he did indeed I'm glad he came back me too I'm sure happy I'm waiting on the next that's why it's a good trick

I'm waiting on the next Hov album still you can't trick me something coming something coming Hov got a couple tricks putting the album in the Samsung

that was a trick oh that was one of the greatest tricks didn't care for that one that much but it still I'm coming. I'm coming. Oh, you fucker. Ho got a couple tricks. Putting the album into Samsung. That was a trick. Oh, that was one of the greatest tricks. Didn't care for that one that much. Nah, but that was a great trick. Hey, I got a deal

with Samsung and this album comes with the Samsung and it's already platinum before it comes out. That was a flex, yo. Yeah. Well, you got that relationship.

Well, you just got to go. I'm playing different. I guess I'm just not as much of a fan of the numbers flip tricks. Oh, see? Hey, 50 going to the radio station reading the sound scan. I loved it. I loved every minute of it. Was it wrong and fucked up?

Yes. But did I love it? Oh, yeah. That was fun. Of course you would have. That's something you would have. You would have did that. In his shoes?

In his shoes You would've definitely Did that Maybe Alright listen Yo Gotti shit is amazing I don't know what else to say Go get it Go get it

Both of them It's in your phone Go get both of them Go get both of them Free game Side A, side B And for some reason Side B has side A

In the second half of it Which is It's It's Come on we got two chains Don't Side A, side B. And for some reason, side B has side A in the second half of it, which is... Come on, we got 2 Chainz. Don't talk about this shit y'all talking about. 2 Chainz is back with a new album. He's back. Look at that.

Dope don't sell itself. You heard the whole thing? I did. Parks did. One to ten? Five, five. I just don't think the production was there. So for you, it was a production thing?

Yeah, absolutely. The beats weren't... Until... I didn't hear a beat I liked until like seven or something like that. I just think 2 Chainz is one of those rappers that are so far... Take your sad voice off. I ain't sad. I'm a little sad because 2J is one of my favorite artists

well to me he's just one of them rappers that is kind of so far removed from rap right now due to other shit I got going on that

I ain't necessarily like what like this guy's a businessman too he's one of them that's been moving around investing in businesses buying buildings

buying all like he's he's he's in NFL commercials he's got buying all. It's an NFL commercial. He's got the TV show. Yeah, he's doing the TV show, Most Expensive. He's doing things outside of rap, making a lot of money. So to me, when that happens. He's following the rose bucket to you kind of in that sense?

Yeah, yeah. To where it's like, I don't really got to rap. My passion ain't necessarily in rap. Or rap ain't the most lucrative thing that I'm doing so I'm paying attention to a whole bunch of other shit whereas when rap was your main bag you was pouring into it do y'all think that rappers should announce that

when that happens so that the art is judged correctly or do they have to continue with the lie like yo my next project is my best I mean you gotta sell it still gotta sell yourself what I wish

Chains and some of these other artists would do is just make the shit that they wanna make I don't know if this album feels like an album that he wanted to make

but you probably it feels like he's trying to catch one and shit but you probably don't care maybe yeah maybe and you're trying to catch one cause when you catch one

that's the financial benefit yeah and i was hearing i don't know how true it is this was his last project on you can't def jam so that could have a lot to do with it too yeah let me just you know give y'all this 90 98 percent of the time you can't catch one if you're trying to catch one yeah you're doing it for the love and the art then you catch one you catch one when you go in there and do it the way it's supposed to be done. It's like when coaches say you're not supposed to think the game.

Like it's the same exact thing. So the optic of trying to catch one is either what Ice is saying, what you're saying, he don't really give a fuck, or you give too much of a fuck. I haven't heard this album, so I can't comment on it. But what I can say is he didn't make me want to listen to it, to the album.

His label didn't make me want to listen to the album. That's what I will give them. They, they, they try something a little different with the promotion up to the album. You know, they, they converted the club into a pop-up like a

giant sneaker box with the dope don't sell itself with the you know sneaker box money type of thing so i'll give them something a little different on the marketing side but it still didn't make me the two singles didn't make me want to go listen to the album to be honest feel you but how is it something different than the the pink house in Atlanta that was fly no I'm saying he stepped out well he'll do it yeah him that's what I'm saying I don't mean but for my eye it's recognizable

when like you doing it his label didn't do it what did the label do here for him the first time they put him in front of my face rapping is the LA Lakers freestyle from the other day. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

And he probably did that by himself too, not for nothing. And you're saying this is his last album potentially on Def Jam. And if that is true. And if that's true. That goes back to what we were saying. Yeah, definitely. The label's not putting him on the same thing you just said with Meek the other day. You got to do this on your own.

Same shit you said with Meek the other day. Mm-hmm. you said we'll meet on your own same shit you said we'll meet the other day and if what we're saying is true like that he's just not really focusing on the music right now his last album for my ear was evident of it like the last album rap rapper no so help me god whatever his last album was, it sounded like I got songs and I inserted verses. That's what it sounded like to me. Fair. And I hope that's not the case with this one. I am going to listen to it.

I am going to listen to it. But now it's tough with Yo Gotti putting out two albums of that right cause you fighting for ear time yeah like I wanna I wanna get to this like Gotti's production

is kinda what I wanna hear from Chains you know what I'm saying like the Southern Bounce Soul Samples more mature sounding more mature sounding beats

I get it but again Chains is one of my favorite rappers, so I mean, maybe I'm a little hard on him. Pause. I understand. My expectations are high.

This is what I... It sucks like when your expectations are higher for one of your favorite artists so you judge it a little more. That's how they become your favorites. Yeah, I was going to say. You know what I mean?

Like, that's what separates them from some of the others. Like, if you put out a verse some of the others. Mm-hmm. Like, if you put out a verse. This feature list looks insane. Bananas. What did you say? Like, if you put out a verse?

Like, if Joe put out a verse, people know Joe to be a lyrical rapper. Uh-huh. Right? Yeah. You put out some moderate, they holding you to what you gave them niggas for 20 years. They not holding you to what the new artists are doing. They holding you to your Joe bag. Yeah. So, if you not in your Joe 20 years they not holding you to what the new artists are doing they holding you to your Joe bag

so if you not in your Joe bag they gonna judge you that's literally what I just told y'all about Ross I wrote eight in a shower I believe you

but I'm just in case it's cool I feel like somebody gonna get froggy soon nah nah nah if you think you get froggy back

you feel like they gonna get froggy shut up I do I'm telling you it's a feeling that you get when somebody they been getting froggy no no no no if you think you said you feel like they're gonna get froggy yeah shut up i do i'm telling you it's like that's a feeling that you get when somebody they've been getting froggy not with me yes with you no way damn half the industry used you as a rollout at one point i know but i know when they're doing that i'm saying they have gotten froggy you just don't use it using my name as a rollout is not getting froggy to me i know what y'all doing i can see it i'm sorry your fan base can't see it.

Froggy is when I think you believe it. You could tell when somebody think they believe what they saying. Wait, for real nigga? Alright. But anyway, he gonna bring you out of retirement. I know who he talking about. I already know.

Why? Why? Why? Yo, can we change the subject? No, no. Move along. Stop. Don't change no subject. Answer my question.

Why? If we talking about the same guy? We are. Why? You go. Yo, Ish, don't play with me. I'm saying. Stop.

Go ahead. I'm asking. You just stop. No, I'm just saying. I don't know if you guys are talking about the same guy. I don't think we are. I don't think we may not be. I think me and Ice talking about somebody different. Joe knows who I'm just saying. I don't know if you guys are talking about the same guy. I don't think we are. I don't think we may not be. I think me and Ice talking about somebody different.

Joe knows who I'm talking about. I'm right. I know who Joe's talking about. If Ish is talking about who you talking about, yeah, I'm not. That's the only person that'll bring him out. Yeah. Oh, okay. And that wouldn't be a tie-up.

That's going outside barefoot in a robe. In some Uggs. Yeah. Comfy? Yeahfoot in a robe in some Uggs yeah comfy yeah fresh off the wake up still got the coley on picking a hat

like alright how we wanna look today what the fuck is you talking about man especially you know what yo can we change this

listen look this feature list looks insane I love that he had Stove God on there this feature list looks insane. I love that he has Stove God on there. This feature list looking insane says to me,

maybe there's a high chance that this is a plug, plug, plug album. True. Maybe. Could be. True. I had all these songs. High percentage. Yeah. Because there's no way that you was with all of these people.

And if you was we would have seen some of that a picture of a blog you know to ever win yeah we would have seen some insta story these are the hottest names hottest names out so that mean all right i did a verse and you did a verse yeah and you did a verse and you did a verse and you did a verse no i did the songs two years ago and then you threw a verse on it yeah man yeah Ice might be right 2 Chainz is off this shit

some of my favorite artists is off this shit you can just tell you can just tell when they off it it's a bigger bag coming from other places well I just hope he goes independent

and does some shit that he maybe wants to do you know if it is indeed a last album for Def Jam situation and maybe he's got bigger plans for when he gets control of this shit. He can come back and EP us to Def.

Yeah. And I'm with it. I'm with it. Y'all say that, right? But let's keep in mind, how old is 2 Chainz? He's got to be like my age. I would think so, too. He's got to be up there with me.

44 years old, right? 2 Chainz has been active a professional rapper since they was there before I got there he was there before I got there yeah he came in with the disturbing the peace ludicrous so that's oh one that's titty boy yeah in the same building this is the same building so like we got to judge this this is 20 years in the same in the same building. This is the same building. So we got to judge this. This is 20 years in the same building. How do we know that he want to continue to rap in this building? I don't.

He might not. He might not want to rap, period. Well, that too. No, I don't get that from him. But I don't get that from him. He likes this. When I say rap, I mean, yo, I want to rap at my leisure. I got other bags. The other bags are coming.

He's a star. He is. He's a personality that's known outside of hip hop. So he's getting other checks. And I think he enjoys the other stuff. Yeah, like, yo, I don't got to be on tour. I don't got to be slaving. I don't got to be, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm getting enjoys the other stuff yeah like yo I don't gotta be on tour I don't gotta be slaving I don't gotta be

you know what I'm saying I'm getting money from other avenues it's kind of like what you were saying Joe when you talked about podcasting when you first got into it you was like

I think it was the first show you did or something and you was like yo I ain't had to yell I ain't had to do none of that it's kind of easiest money I've ever made

I'm never rapping it's kind of like that like yo what he have to do none of that it's kind of easiest money I ever made I'm never rapping it's kind of like that like yo what he has to do to make money outside of this is much easier I'm so mad

I showed you niggas what to do yo I ain't gonna hold you that's some real haters shit to say yeah it is I don't care definitely

I'm so mad no for real that used to be see I don't think about it that used. No, for real. That used to be, see, don't think about it. That used to be primal fear for a rapper. Like, oh shit, what's after this?

What's after rap? Yeah. What's after rap? Today, they make it look good. And I'm talking shit about me. I'm talking, there's a few people.

They make it look good. Yeah. They kind of make you want to rush out of rap. I was going to tell you, today, they're looking at it as, let me hurry up and get in rap so I can get out of rap. Yeah, let me hurry up and get in rap and get big. Rap ain't the end no more.

Before, it was, I want to rap. I want to, you know, come platinum selling art. Like, rap was the goal. Now, it's once I get in here, it opens all these other doors. I can go, fuck rap. These niggas don't care about rap no more. None of them. Movies, clothing.

And it ain't just entertainment, period. A lot of athletes. I don't give a fuck about football or all of this no more. I want to get in here to get me some exposure and start making money outside. Fuck this game. I ain't going to sit here and get myself hurt. I can go sit home and make Fuck this game. I ain't going to get myself hurt. I can go sit home and make twice this

contract. Yeah. Yeah. Without Mika Parsons busting me up top the head. That's what a lot of this shit is.

I was just watching footage on Mika Parsons. How do the Giants look? I don't understand. Yo dawg. Could you get off of this? I'm really don't

understand. Why? Why do I have to get off of that? No that was a slap in the face if you watching the fucking draft. You don't let the division teams play with you like that in front of your fucking face you're supposed to take this guy just to do it yeah and then he was great he

was yeah he's special look at this guy he's a fucking game changer anyway come on but no that's i just think a lot of guys a lot of these guys are off rap and they heart not even in rap from the rip not saying two chains i'm like today a of these dudes, let me hurry up and get in here so I can get to the next level. I think from a business perspective, right? Uh-huh. You travel in the country. You travel in the world doing other shit. You might have a two-week window, three-week window to get your album done.

Right. Because you got so much shit going on. Whereas before, they might have had time. See, yo, you just brought up a dope point, yo. And I'm going to fucking might have had time see yo you just brought up a dope point yo and i'm gonna fucking stay on it what did you just say i said rappers are stepping they're trying stepping stone so they're trying to come in and they're trying to come out yeah let's stay let's stay right there that's how y'all get fucked because now you're looking to partner with somebody who can expedite things.

Probably want to major for that because they're going to expedite. They're going to make you a. Whoever you're going to talk to, it's expensive. Yeah. Anybody that knows that they can expedite the process for a person. Yeah. From Mike Caron to fucking Mike Harrod to fucking whoever you want to name. Mike Harrod, what up?

You lost me. You're an artist. Mm-hmm. Brand spanking new. Nobody knows you. You have no social following. You don't have shit. But you want to expedite things.

You want to do things fast. I'm going to go to the greatest. Are you going to go and talk to Parks, who nobody knows, who can't probably do, who probably believes in your vision. Mm-hmm. But he can't get you there. And is willing to work with you. And know some things. who can't probably do, who probably believes in your vision. And is willing to work with you. And know some things. He can't get you there, though. But he can't expedite.

He can't make the phone calls. He can't expedite it. So it might take a while. Y'all will get to it. But it might take a while. Versus Kevin Lowndes. Right. Versus Blue.

Outkast Blue. I know Blue. Of course you know Blue. Yeah, versus, like, P. Sure. I get it. It's expensive. Outcast Blue You know Blue Of course you know Blue Yeah versus Like P Sure I get it It's expensive

And then And what they gonna say is I want You gotta pay me for what I do I want 50% of all All everything Everywhere Yeah

And you gonna say Cool Until I make it And now you down to 50% They probably also gonna say Not these gentlemen. I'm not talking about them, please. I'm just painting pictures.

Then they're probably going to say, I need to go partner with such and such or bring them in. They could do such and such and such and such. And now you're doing this. And they want 10%. Yeah. So the faster you want it to go,

the more hands is in your pot. And now when it works, now you're tight. Now you're tight, yeah. Now you're fucking it works now you tight now you're tight yeah now you fucking tight in the face now you're tight and that's when i come on here sounding what they what they call me republican executive or millionaire joe is different no i just understand the production side too now no the relationship side yeah the relationship because parks can't make a phone call that it's gonna get you a million views he can make yeah puff can't make a phone call that P can make.

Puff can't make a phone call that Stout can make. How do you think we get into the situation? We were talking about NBA Youngboy last week. And how he might not make money from his YouTube. How do y'all think that comes to be? Niggas ain't that stupid. That's true. It's who are you?

Oh, nobody? With nothing? Come here. Sign this. We got it. Pop. Biggest thing ever. it's who are you oh nobody with nothing come here sign this we got it pop biggest thing ever this shit don't come from osmosis right

but anyway and some niggas got a formula that they use that make it work I know it's gonna work it's not even a guess if it's gonna work man my track record shows

this is what I do yeah it's what I do and you gotta pay and you gotta pay for that knowledge you gotta pay for those relationships you gotta pay for the know-how no no you don't get the knowledge the relationships and no no you don't get no way you pay for me to do it oh no that's what i'm saying no way you're paying for that no way you're making it fun now you're making it fun now that was the production side you'd want to expedite things so you talk to somebody with some leverage. Cool. But now you need a record. You don't have one.

Now we got to go get you one. You don't have a producer. We got to call Just Blaze. You didn't make one in your past. We got to call Just Blaze. I got to call Take Heath. I got to call one of them. And on top of that, now, you ain't got the best pin.

Now I got to go get that. Or not. No, his pin is the best pen in the world But you a new artist Nobody cares about that We need a feature There you go Yeah

True It's my new artist package Do you hear how expensive This is about to get Yeah So And the part they don't see again That coat is fly

Oh shit that coat is fly Then the part they don't see again is Once it hit God damn And you start seeing Oh 100, 100 million streams hit. Platinum, double platinum. You think, oh, I got some money coming. No, you think you did it.

That's where they fuck up. Yeah, right. They think it's them. And they think it was them that did it. And now you mad at the world because everybody getting some of your money. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I didn't want to say that.

But yeah, that's who I was thinking about. But yeah, people think it was thinking about but yeah people think it was they talent people think it was they brain or they ingenuity that got them there and then

when you start going public motherfuckers start taking up for them thinking that you got robbed no nigga you didn't get robbed you would have never been you if it wasn't for me

yeah and that's the music industry in a nutshell there you go ta-da ta-da yeah get your ass whipped in the beginning It wasn't for me. Yeah. And that's the music industry in a nutshell. There you go. Ta-da! Ta-da! Yeah.

Get your ass whipped in the beginning. Learn from it. Get some popularity from it. Get some money from it. And then take your career in your own hands. But you going to pay. Yeah. And hope you're not in a deal that's some, you know, like Joe said, seven albums plus options.

Some 90-year deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you make enough money to get out of it. That's why when you speak to artists today, like the artists that are trying to get on, up-and-coming artists, and you ask them what they want, it's a really confusing question for a lot of them.

It is. And a lot of them answer with something fame-related. Yeah. They normally start in debt, which is, I want a deal. Oh, that says something. That says shortcut. Yeah.

That says I want it expedited. I want the song on high rotation. I want vids placed everywhere. Expensive and good looking vids. I want the late night run. I don't just want, I don't want what comes with grind. Right. I want. Late night run. I don't just want, I don't want what comes with grind. Right. I won't.

I think, I think, and again, I think a picture is being painted for them, though, that doesn't show that. Because a lot of people, even when you pop, they don't see the work that put in, got put in. Never. They see the fame. They don't see the work. So I think that's just ignorance. And when I say ignorance, I mean just lack of knowledge of what it really, really takes to make it to those levels. And not for nothing, you rarely see what the label or production company or whatever did.

They don't. That's what I'm saying. So you don't see what happened behind the scenes to get these people to that level. You just cut on the TV. You see a Sprite commercial. And then, you know, they just dropped two years ago, and you're like, damn, that's easy.

Or you see them with the hottest rappers in the world and be like, oh, he must be a real dude. These guys fuck with him. No, they cost. Look at Lil Baby as an example. Lil Baby been on QC for a minute.

Mixed tapes, grinding. Yeah. Actually, his debut album was called My Turn. And I remember P constantly saying, yo, you just gotta wait. You up next. I remember P constantly saying, yo, you up next. You just got to wait. We got this going right now.

You have to sit down and play your position, hold it down, and when your turn is up, we're going to launch you. A lot of artists don't see that part. You just see, oh, Lil Baby came out with this. They remember the Drake feature. And the next thing you know, this record come, this record come. Now you shot up to the moon, but you don't see that this dude been working his ass off for years.

Right. Or learning some shit. Right. And learning. And. Might not even know how to put a song together. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you might not even know how to put a song together. You just in the back learning and taking notes. Right. Until your time come. I remember an old interview with 50 where he said,

I think it was Jam Master Jay. Jam Master Jay showed him how to make a song. He even showed him how to structure bars. So I just know how to rap. I remember an old interview with 50 where he said, I think it was Jam Master Jay. Jam Master Jay showed him how to make a song. He even showed him how to structure bars. I just know how to rap. I don't know how to, what the fuck do you mean bar? Count bars? That was always a process.

Yeah. Learning that. So, I mean. Anyone new music that y'all want to talk about? Anything R&B? Oh, go ahead. I was going to say all the Dre releases

Parks, anything in the underground Conway and them dropped a single it's called John Woo Flick dope record kinda what you expect

in a good way from a Griselda record Currency and Alchemist dropped a single from their new album again kinda what you expect but in a good way

Lupe dropped a single off a compilation that Chill is doing from 1st and 15th, I guess. That was real dope. I'll play that maybe as a sleeper. Yeah, that's about all I got, though. New music. Okay. Y'all see what... Y'all see what...

What is that? Bad Bath and Body Works did for Black History Month? I did not. I'm scared to ask, though. You are, me too. I'm kind of scared to find out what it is. A little candle. They don't respect us, y'all.

Every February, we learn more and more about who doesn't respect us. Listen, man, nothing's going to top that picture of them, all them old, little senators or whatever in a kente cloth taking a knee. Oh, yeah, that was sick.

That was sick. That was, nothing surprised me after that. I'm cool. That's funny. It ain't funny, but. It's not funny. It's not. At all. What did Bed Bath & Body do? That's funny. It ain't funny, but... It's not funny.

It's not. At all. What did Bed, Bath, and Body do? That's how they stole the land. Exactly what they did. They put their little... outfits on. Took a knee? Said howl. Called it Thanksgiving? Alright, I'm chilling.

My bad. tell me what what's wrong with you my bad oh I thought I said I don't work bad they put dashikis on the candles

you lying dog there you go they put some tribal artwork over some of their normal products.

These aren't new releases and new scents. Limited edition. This ain't same bullshit. Look, Teakwood. Look at Teakwood, yo. Like a tiki torch. Oh my Jesus, yo. That's some sick shit.

American Airlines did some shit. Yo, dog. Apple did some shit. They dropped their Unity band. Oh, I saw that too. I was looking at watches last night and Apple did some shit. They dropped their Unity band. Oh, I saw that too. I was looking at watches last night and I seen that shit. What's a Unity band? You need the highest about it.

It's a special Apple watch band. Oh my God, yo. No, the red, black, and green one was last year. This one is- I don't care what year. Watch the colors. They don't need X-Clan and Apple to make a band. What the fuck is you talking about, my nigga?

X-Clan. Wait a minute, yo. What the key? Wait, stop. Is this real? That's real. I have the band. Yo, this is almost like spoofing.

You bought it? No, it came with the watch. That's what I got. It came with the watch, man. Nah, I definitely bought the Black Unity Apple Watch band. Did you go in person? What the ice? What is wrong with you?

Based on your demo, when you bought the watch, they just came with it. Based on your demo? Based on your demo? That's sick. I think this is some of the sickest shit out right now. That's nuts, bro.

Ice, you have this thing? I have it. You and Dave Chappelle? Chuck D? Yo, Chuck D is mad as hell right now. I'm mad as hell right now. Apple needs their ass what? The Unity bands.

The black unity. Yo, fam. Yo, they don't respect us. This is a joke. Just keep taking your money. You sit up here, app. You pro app. Boy.

You lucky I'm just finding this out. Nigga. This is terrible, fam. Like, I don't know what the execs are doing. They have no. They don't know what the execs are doing. They have no... You don't? They don't know what they're doing. No, because you need to hire somebody that you can get some real opinions from. I don't want to hire nobody black.

I just want the black consumers to die. No, hire somebody that's telling you this is a smack in the face. If you're Apple, you're big enough to have some staff members that say, this is some bullshit. The red, black, and green watch? Okay, so you be the staff member, and I'll play the opposing side. Come on, let's do it. This isn't. Parks is Apple.

He's the head of the Apple office. What do you got for us? Not that. You rush in there. Come on, because I'm going to count it right after you. Mr. Valley? Yes. you rush in there come on because I'm going to count it right after you Mr. Valley yes this is unacceptable

from my standpoint with regards to our demo I don't think this will be well received listen I have papers showing that we made about

20 billion dollars off of this bullshit no we didn't it ain't come out yet no that's out oh this is a conversation before it came out before this comes out

this is what y'all are talking about yeah well let me just add your studies have shown that we've tested well yeah I got projections please tell me where you tested

we're gonna algorithm this in everybody's phone and we're gonna sell about this many of these that was the first thing that popped up when I was shopping for watches last night

it was and know what's crazy it's been out a year I've never seen it so it ain't sell that well that's not even a new one that's what I'm saying there's a new one but. I've never seen it. So it ain't sell that well. That's not even a new one. That's what I'm saying.

There's a new one for this year. But the conversation is not an Apple conversation. Well, let me just tell you, though, because the Unity collection, that's the new one with the colors in it, the black one with the colors. Anyway. It's the pandering collection. It is a pandering collection. They do one for Pride. They do one.

They do the all red one with the proceeds going to AIDS research the pink one probably for breast cancer or something I'm just saying along those lines that's cool I don't know how true it is

they say the proceeds go towards where's the Muslim one they didn't do that yet I guess I don't know I mean cause unity what color

I'm just saying are they gonna do one since we're unifying things maybe they'll get to it yeah no go ahead ain't enough money in that yet ain't enough money in that yet ain't enough our dollar don't put you know what go ahead no i'm there again their statement when they put these out say that the proceeds go toward uh organizations fighting racial injustice. That's for this collection.

The pride one is discrimination against LGBTQ community. The red one is like they're saying they're doing something. So you like that if it's true? If it's true, I'm not mad at you. You like that if it's true? That's what I was trying to say. You like that one if it's true? Okay. But the topic here.

They got the braided band. But the topic here... They got the braided band! And Ice has the braided band. Ice has all this shit. I have a black braided band. I know, because you're black. See, blackface is not right. I understand. I got it.

Say less. The topic here is the companies that don't give a fuck but still want your dollar. Because that... off of Apple, that other shit was disgusting. Yeah, that was terrible. But we see that every year. And it's outrage marketing. And it works every time.

Hence me saying somebody in somebody's office needs to let them know that this is... Well, hence Joe saying... But you said it works. You think it works? Yeah, yeah. I think this works. For Apple. For Apple. I'm not talking about some of the other people. The new shit ain't as bad as last year's.

This dead red, black, and green watch is disgusting. This newer shit is alright. Outrage marketing works. Period. We are on the same page. There is a reason they call me the Biden of Brooklyn. I'm sorry? Black history, man. That's not who I think it is.

I'll give it to you one more time. Is that who I think it is? We have to come together and deal with this fight. We are on the same page. There is a reader's reason they call me the Biden of Brooklyn. Did you hear him? He said that with Biden sitting next to him. Speaking of people that need to have somebody talk to them before they do some shit, it's him.

So it's nice. You niggas got to stop tricking me, man. I voted for him because Hov and Puff said so. I'm glad you admitted that. I'm really glad you admitted that. I said weeks ago, Jay-Z's our spokesperson. As a black demo, probably 50 and under, Jay-Z's probably the most powerful person in the black demo. That's crazy.

He's a businessman and a musician. We need somebody, no disrespect to Jay. Y'all know how I fuck with jay but you need somebody in a more political arena to be able to speak up for these issues they silenced them there you go i know they better go find some fucking salt to put on the streets next time next time it's snow is what i do know god damn it yo they're crazy yo on the news they were showing the cars having to park over the mountains in the snow. New York don't do that, yo.

Look, I'm black. You want to talk about outrage marketing? I'm blackity blackity black. I'm sorry? I'm blackity blackity black. His shirt says, I'm black every month, but this month, I'm blackity black black. But it's a white kid. It's a white kid with a shirt on.

That's outrage marketing. They're not tricking me. I'm getting out of here. Yo Gotti came out. Man, fuck this. They had to pull it. I don't say I get pushed. No, they definitely got to pull that.

They pulled it already. Yeah. My point is that went over somebody's desk and they missed it? No. No, they did that show on purpose. They did not miss it. They did it on purpose? Yes.

Outrage marketing. That's what I was trying to tell you. That from the company standpoint, yeah, it's going to be people. There's going to be some feathers. Yeah, but you know what's going to happen is people are going to say, oh, let me go look and see. No, not even necessarily buy the shirt. Yo, did you hear about the shirt that say blackity black black with a white kid? No, what shirt?

Go search for it. Guess what? Now you just came to my site. You might not buy that. Gotcha. But you might see something else over there. I know, Alex. That's just what I was looking at.

That's all. That's outrage marketing right there. We'll get some people mad, but the attention is worth getting y'all mad. Okay. Oh, man. I want to pray. I want to pray for Kim and Kanye, man. I want to pray for the kids.

And the kids. Just the family. Because this is sad. It's sad. And I don't want to pray for the kids. And the kids. Just the family. Because this is sad. It's sad. And I don't want to keep talking about it, honestly. I don't want to talk about it. I don't even want to.

But this... My thing is they should just conduct whatever they're going on behind closed doors. Never going to happen. Each one is trying

to weaponize the media. Yeah. That's really the problem. Each one tries to weaponize the media to get everybody on the problem each one tries to weaponize the media to get everybody on their side against the other person they all they do is play media games both of them i'm not rolling with that me either but i'm i'm not talking about i'm not rolling with that because at one point it appeared that way and i have not seen or heard about pete davidson

since he got threatened in that song it All those pictures of them in the supermarket in Staten Island. Oh, God. Erickson, cut that part out, please. What am I saying here? Yeah, all those pictures stopped and it became bikini beach thirst traps. It was a lot of that. I i just don't i want to try

to separate what it looks like a publicist could be doing from what it looks like kim is doing because for the last however many weeks it sounds like she keeps pleading for it to stop and she has kind of stopped so i was on that earlier but now it just don't appear that way and i'm not in a business so i don't know but i just i'm not in a business so i don't know but i just i'm just mad it's happening publicly but i know it's a lot harder sometimes when you're not talking to somebody when you don't have communication with somebody and you don't have an outlet and you don't know how to handle it like yes this should be done privately especially that they haven't they haven't they haven't about about tiktok

privately especially that they're having a they have they have an about about tiktok like if we can't get over that conversation then the big conversations that's a shame when it really seemed like when it's our shit but we're gonna put this on the kid i don't know that to be true but yeah i'll read this and move on all right well you're gonna read what he said first so that they know or well no because she uh she said something first he's replying no no no it's the other way around he put this out first and then she replied oh yeah i didn't care about this was a mess yeah i remember okay kanye put it out since this is my first divorce i need to know what i should do about my daughter being put on tiktok against my will uh How do y'all feel about that? Don't put it on the internet.

You're asking strangers for divorce advice? That's the part that I don't like. Strangers that you know eat this shit up. And you know it. Do you know how many famous people he knows? Fam, he's been in the business too long.

He's been in the business too long. He's been in the business too long. He knows what this is going to do. He knows what this is going to do. Kanye is weaponizing his fan base in the media against her. You know what this is. That's what this is. All while still parading around with this Julia Fox. Like, I keep seeing way too much footage and pictures and shoots

and it's just stop you taking the I'm not gonna say what he's doing but I know what he's doing it's like a two prong attack but then you do the so she says

hold up you mad aggressive but then when the nigga punch back you be like come on yo stop you can't do that kim says kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any tiktok north might create as the parent who is the main provider and

caregiver for our children i'm doing my best to protect our daughter while our daughter why is that said i'm from boston our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision because it brings her happiness divorce is difficult enough on our children and kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all from the beginning i have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children, and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way. I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately,

and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably. A little spice in there. That was the spice. That's a little corporate spice. I think it's publicist written, but I think it conveys maybe what she might be going through. Yeah.

And taking a little jab with regards to the lawyership. Yeah. See, but that's not really, I mean, it is a jab, but it's not a jab. If I'm trying to get legal paperwork done with you.

And you're on your third lawyer. Yeah, you know what you're doing yo you see his response uh what do you mean by main provider america saw you try to kidnap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address you put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing i had to take a drug test after chicago's party because you accused me of being on drugs. Tracy Ramola Romulus. Stop manipulating Kim to be this way. I'm assuming that's the publicist.

I hate all this, bro. This is disgusting. It is, bro. She didn't kidnap your kid. She did not kidnap... That's not kidnapping. No. You know what this sounds like, bro? Nah. I'm going to tell know what this sounds like y'all don't need me to sit here and tell you

nah I'm gonna tell you what this sounds like I'm trying I'm trying I don't wanna say it but I'm and they be saying I be pandering to them

but this sound like a person who just used to controlling every aspect with no control and he spiraling that's what it sounds like and you don't attempt

a tantrum at every turn because I cannot control this situation I am used to controlling everything in every room i walk in just everything and i have no control here so i'm spiraling yo you know how we talk about a lot of us in here have driven without a license for a long time and that feeling you get doing that when the cops pull up on you versus the feeling you have when you are licensed we talk about that a lot right that's kind of feel like when you good with your baby mamas like i'm cool with my baby mamas so remembering the beef part or when the feelings were

just when it was mucky. Like that's not, that's not a, it's like a load off your back. Yeah, it's not behavior that you want to, even if y'all don't speak and y'all are just

on a regular co-parenting thing, when that tension is just alleviated and normal conversations can be normal conversations like that'd be a mountain sometimes like when we could stop having a conversation about my emotions on the matter versus yours and try to work together on i know it sounds like simple shit but it's tough so to watch this where you can just tell there's no conversation had and no agreeable stance anywhere.

Like anywhere. Right. It's sad. It is. Motherfucker, I said I don't like apples. See, but know why this shit is whack? The smallest thing. Because this ain't my place.

And I'm getting off this after this. I promise I am. Thank you. How much dadden do it look like he trying to do it looks like he's just trying to stop it yo like stop the situation stop man stop it this don't look like it's about the kids at all it ain't it ain't and that's the and that's the part that bothers me like you don't have to do this. Well, not y'all, but the public was dissing me. I was kind of on her side the whole time.

I think she was taking the really high road. She has been. Y'all diss me like, yo, she was playing games, being supportive at the show. And I apologize. Don't do that. I'm not even saying you. I'm just saying like, yo, I think she was supporting

him. She says, I was trying to be supportive of him. Because she said, like, she want, like how you said, you good. I am a caboo split. And it sounds like she wants to get to that point. Yeah. Yo, we am a caboo. I'll support you. Me and the kids, we come out to your show.

There's no more me and you. Yeah, but I love you. You cool. I still got, I'm going to always have love for you. But we got a bigger we have to worry about the kids yeah but you let terry bone so that's none of your business none of your business i love and that's why i love men on podcasts yes you're right but that line exists for a reason that line exists it didn't just pop up out of our faces.

That is true. Plenty of men have come along and fell victim to... Terry. But you let... Terry bone. Like, yo, kids,

I got that, but... Look at me. But, my nigga, you've paraded 15 chicks on Instagram. Every chick you poppin', I gotta see them.

I'm sure you done popped 7,000 girls, and I've seen a few of them. Well, that's the flip side of it. He gotta chill out. He gotta chill. I hope so. I really do.

I hope so. For the kids, fuck every girl. Yeah, but for guys and girls, it's like streams and albums. Like... How many streams? it's like streams and albums. Like For every 15 girls we pop. That's one.

Brian Flores Brian Flores yo y'all are doing this on black history month yo they will not let us get 28 days of fucking joy of peace at least some peace

Brian Flores might never work again might might Peace. Peace. At least some peace. Brian Flores might never work again. Might. Yeah. That's. Might. Might. I think he'll get a job. I don't know if it'll be a head coaching position, though.

I think he'll get a job. Nah, he'll work at a high school somewhere. Nah, I think he'll get a job. Just so they can. Just so they can disprove it. They don't want another Kaepernick to happen. Like Irvington High, maybe. What? That's my man, boy.

He ain't gonna work there again. And the fuck the whole thing making jokes. This move needed to be done. This move needed to be done. Shout to him. Yeah, round of applause. Round of applause. It's bold. It's brave. It's... And it's brave. It's. And it has to be done so that other people can walk through the door. Yeah.

Right. Brian Flores, unfortunately, will be the sacrificial lamb. Brian Flores is the Miami Dolphins coach. Former. Former Miami Dolphins coach who was let go. He was released, right? Yeah. He was fired.

He was fired. Yeah, he was fired, not released. He was fired and after a winning season. After two winning seasons, no? Two. Oh, the Giants are speaking on this? Yeah, they released a long statement. I don't need to read none of that shit. Y'all have never had a black quarterback

with the exception of Geno Smith and that didn't count no coach either yeah I don't need to read a long statement and uh Amara's on the fucking racial board the racial inclusive inclusivity board or whatever the name of it is up there

they had to put somebody there yeah but put somebody there that's gonna do it not up there they had to put somebody yeah but put somebody that's gonna do it not somebody that's keeping the blacks out i know we need a number of people up there brian flores has filed a class action lawsuit against the nfl accusing the league of having racist hiring practices well that's a fact yeah the end of that yeah yeah nothing else needed to be said like I don't even like the rule nine head coaching vacancies

no the rule is good in spirit but the execution of it is that's my point it's basically you playing a game uh huh we know we not gonna hire

no black coach but we gotta interview him by law you gotta interview him right so that's what happened with the Bill Belichick shit. They already hired their guy.

And they was just interviewing him as a formality. Let's hit this check mark off. Yeah. Wait, some people don't know what the Bill Belichick shit you're talking about is. All right. So what happened was Bill Belichick mistakenly text him. They're both. It's two Bryans.

They're both named Bryans. Two Bryans. Bill Belichick mistakenly text Brian Flores like, yo, congratulations, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? Heard you got it. This, this, this, and this. He's like, thanks, coach. You know, they go through an exchange until Bill Belichick says something in reference to the other Brian, the white Brian.

And he's like, oh, coach. He said word around Giants and Buffalo. Yeah, so. And he's like, yo, coach. He said word around Giants and Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, so. And he's like, yo, I think you hit the wrong person. Bill Belichick was like, OB, I fucked up. My fault. He has the text saying, oh, shit, my bad. I fucked up.

So basically, y'all already hired your guy. It's around NFL already that you guys have already picked your guy. I haven't even had my interview yet. Which means y'all interviewing me now as a formality so that y'all don't get fined by the NFL on some bullshit. And he still went into the interview. And on first take this morning, Steve and A was playing a clip with Jerry Jones. Gotta love Jerry Jones. But Jerry Jones was saying how Mike McCarthy probably won't be the giants i mean

not the giant the cowboys coach forever and yeah i'm definitely keeping dan quinn here because if the spot opens i want i want to talk to him about it and it just speaks to how the rooney rule just gets jumped and skipped like we already got our guys that we want, that we're hiring. They have their staff that they want. So. Mm-hmm. Where does this stop? The only way it stops is when we start buying teams. And that,

what you just said. You got to be able to. Exactly. I saw a lot of people throwing dirt at Hove. Mm-hmm. Oh, you did all of that. We passed Nealon.

You got in bed with the NFL, and all we got out of you was that dope halftime show this year. To me, I said, yo, y'all are looking at the short game. Hove getting good with these NFL owners. I believe he's positioning himself to at some point purchase a team. I would agree and the way like you just said the way that we can put it into that is we got to get in that owner's room we need to you have to have an owner up there damn about to sound like panda beer what's up get your shit off fam i don't know this to be true panda man i've heard tons and tons of stories the shit that jay-z does in any arena he don't necessarily

be wanting that shit publicized so we don't know what the fuck they doing with the nfl behind closed doors to change the the the temperature that's already set in the nfl i don't think it's gonna change overnight it's not you get what i'm saying? But I don't know what is going on. I just think that us, and it be us shooting. We shooting at a nigga that's trying to change some things for good. His track record kind of speaks for itself.

He might be doing some shit with some selfish motives too. I'm not knocking that. But I'm sure that some of the things that he's done that I've heard that he's done have been for the greater good. So I think we kind of be giving our own shit all the time if something don't happen overnight.

All the time. We give our shit to our own if something don't happen overnight. Ish. I said before, when I said our problem is the lack of us unifying together behind something. The second somebody gets up and try we will shoot them down yeah we will that's the problem right there and any i'm not even talking about hope this is anything it'll be us anyone that starts trying to put a movement together you'll get accusations and fam we trying to there's a bigger issue here like if we can get everybody on board

and move in the same direction but you're worried about how much money this person is making off of this you're worrying about this look at the greater picture here and people don't do that we shoot ourselves down before they ever get a chance to i agree and that's where our problem comes in just that's why they could diss us and you could say a bunch of times and you can put up nothing i'm ass apple watch and don't nobody say nothing. Nobody gonna say nothing. I agree. In the lawsuit, Flores claims that the Dolphins owner, Stephen Ross,

attempted to bribe him to lose games after he was hired in 2019 and tried to pressure him into recruiting a prominent quarterback at the end of the 2019 season. Tom Brady is revealed. Yeah, that came out as Tom Brady. Flores was fired from his position as head coach on January 10th despite recording the Dolphins'

first back-to-back winning season since 2003. And that bottom line just speaks volumes. Motherfuckers be out here losing and keeping their job.

This is your first positive season since two times in a row? Since 03, you're talking 20 years. Allegedly, they were offering him $100,000 per game to lose. since two times in a row? Since 03, my man. You're talking 20 years. Well, allegedly, they were offering him

$100,000 per game to lose. So now you could justify firing me because I had a losing season? Or so we could go get some recruits? Which one is it? What do you mean?

No, they justified firing him. I mean, not justified, but they're, like you said, they tried to set up a secret meeting with him and Tom Brady. And when he found out what was going on i'm not doing this i'm leaving they invited him on the yacht they asked him to meet with brady and he said no that's that's

tampering we're not doing that they invited him on the yacht with the owner and and said hey we got we got a guest coming like that and it was tom brady he's like, oh, no, no, no, I'm not doing this. And he left. He's moving with integrity. Gotcha. You're not willing to play ball. And you're out here winning games and we're telling you to lose. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're against the team. Yeah, you're just... That's why they're firing him. You're just strange fruit. Yeah. That's what that is. Like, fam, we got something

we're trying to do over here. I believe it was Hugh Jackson came out and said that Cleveland gave him something here. I believe it was Hugh Jackson came out and said that Cleveland gave him something similar. I believe it was Hugh Jackson. Yeah, it was. Cleveland gave him something similar. And the fans said, yeah, but it wasn't $100,000. He was like, the number was a good number.

Got it. So they're incentivizing, yo, lose these games. Don't go out there and win but that was my thing I don't know I want to know what is behind them asking them to lose games

they were trying to get the first thing I mean it was very clear from the offseason before he even got hired that they were trying to tank to

get the number one pick or something close to it that shit don't work no it doesn't I hated the tank idea from the rip what you mean

the tank idea does not work but I do have some questions the Jets and them niggas are proving it did they not yeah but did that not come up

in the interview process I would have to imagine it would what tanking yeah I doubt it they're already releasing and trading all their

their players before they come he comes on there's I don't know and the tanking shit do work sometimes it's just that if you got bad. I don't know. And the tanking shit do work sometimes. It's just that if you got bad coaching,

it don't matter who's on the team. I haven't seen that tank shit work yet. It rarely works. I hear the pussy juice tanking right now. Tanking right out of the behind here. What else about tanking? What y'all think? Plays the tank. That'll get it flowing again.

Y'all think about that 84 NBA draft. Oh, my God. That's what they curse me out. Shut up. Fuck y'all. What else we got? Oh, all the racy stuff. Everything is serious from this point on?

Oh, come on. Oh, come on. It's Saturday, dog. It's Saturday. Don't try to make me cry, yo. We good. This is us. Does it enough?

Still ain't watching. Me either. It's black history, dog. It's Saturday. Don't try to make me cry, yo. We good. This is us. Does it enough? Still ain't watching. Me either. It's black history, mom. We done jumped off of Flores. We might as well jump on to... Whoopi? Whoopi works. Give him some backstory.

Tell him what happened. No, no. We'll talk about it. Give him some backstory. Whoopi Goldberg says some comments on the view that were taken as insensitive regarding the holocaust saying essentially it wasn't a race thing because it was white on white crime for lack of a better term so it's not a race thing to for which she was suspended for two weeks no at first she just had to give an apology which she

did and i'm sure it was both yeah no i this is what I personally think. I think they made her give an apology because she's Whoopi Goldberg. Boom, boom, boom. And then I think the people said that's not enough. And they kept pushing and pushing and pushing it. She needs further punishment and now they punished her.

To which she says she's contemplating quitting. I wouldn't blame her. I wouldn't blame her at all. Did she say contemplating quitting. I wouldn't blame her. I wouldn't blame her at all. Did she say that? Yep. Says she's contemplating quitting. I wouldn't blame her.

That sounds like a very Whoopi Goldberg thing to say. What? Or do. I'm thinking about quitting. Or do. I don't think that she needs. And let me tell you. I don't think she needs to check. If she leaves, that show plummets.

Isn't Whoopi Goldberg Jewish? I thought she was Jewish, yeah. But then I read something that said she wasn't. I thought she was Jewish. She's been saying she was Jewish for the last 20-something years. Yeah. So that's nuts. I mean.

It's crazy. Whether or not she was insensitive. Oh, see, this reads differently, dog. This is the president of ABC News saying effective immediately. I am. I am. I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments. While Whoopi has apologized, I've asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments the entire ABC news organization stands in solidarity with our

Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities I don't want to conflate things so I won't say what my normal response would be to that because there's nothing wrong with that cool there's some phone calls that. Cool. She was pressured to do that. You just...

There were some phone calls that got to her from some people. She was pressured to do that. Oh, she was pressured and then he got more pressured. What are you talking about? I mean, she got pressured and then the...

I'm talking about Whoopi Goldberg got pressured first. Right. And then they said, that's not enough. The apology is not enough. We need further action. I don't have anything to say.

I don't have anything to say about their business, about how they conduct their business. I do wish that as a society we would grant more leniency for maybe not saying the right thing always. You can't. Not today. Why? People live for that.

Because look at today. She didn't say anything particularly inflammatory. You can't. Not today. Why? People live for that. Because look at today. She didn't say anything particularly inflammatory. Now, listen. She was just maybe incorrect in the definition of race, I guess, or whatever. It's a really fine line.

Uh-huh. So today, I agree with you. Yeah. I'm agreeing with you. I'm just giving you some pushback. But I agree with you. But when somebody else

comes out and says something a little pinky toe over the line, where do we draw the line to say, because what's inflammatory to you may not be inflammatory to me. What's acceptable to you may not be acceptable to me, so we have a line to draw, and we got to draw the line. What I want them to do is just stay consistent.

When somebody get up there and say some anti-black shit or some black shit that crosses the line, I want y'all to have the same exact swift punishment for that individual. The threat is not the same. That's why. No, the money's not the same. The threat that affects the money is not the same. That's why.

So that's your policy. Rock out. That's the policy. It just got to be consistent. That phone, whatever pressure that made her take that action, that threatened the money. That's why there's action taken. Look at Spotify and Joe Rogan. They weighing that.

Yeah, they weighing that. Yeah, y'all leaving? Okay. Oh, wait. It's getting a little warmer. Hey, man, we need you to say something. This is the crazy part for me. Even with the Joe Rogan shit, from what I hear, I don't watch Joe Rogan.

I've never watched a full episode of Joe Rogan's show. I've probably watched a couple, but... But I've heard this has been his bag forever. I heard he basically says whatever the fuck he wants to say, and because he generates so much bread, nobody says a thing. Exactly. So it's really a money thing.

It's not a religion thing. It's not an ethnicity thing. It's not a moral obligation. None of that. It's a money thing. And so when the people that have the money start feeling offended they start pulling the money right but it's not but it's not just a money thing because it's a money and race thing it's no no no no the race only matters because it's because you can say shit about islamic people all day people go publicly and say shit about is about Islamic people all day. People go publicly and say shit about Islamic people all day and nothing happens. So it's not a race thing. It's a money thing.

And if the Islamic people started pulling a funding or if they had money to make changes, then we would see changes. They don't necessarily do that. And so we see it when certain ethnicities or certain minority groups, period, are disrespected. Bro, Big T came out and said crazy shit about Mexican people when he first got there. Said shit about Muslim people. Trump said shit about everybody and nobody said a fucking thing. Right. So if it's about equality for all religions and we pulling for them, then you should have the same feeling.

It's similar to what dave chappelle says when he says yo you can't have um empathy for one minority group and not have empathy for all minority groups right like if you see a fat dude getting teased at school yeah you should have the same vigor to defend him that you had when you saw a black boy getting teased at school or any other minority group. You should feel for them. Yeah. And they don't. And that's the point.

They don't. Again, and it keeps going back to what I said. The threat that affects their money only comes from certain groups. Look how quick that stop Asian hate bill got passed. Was it two weeks? A week? Immediately. Why? was it two weeks a week immediately why that when niggas start talking to pulling the money yeah

making them phone calls no we got to change it now we ain't in that position we're not solidified we don't have the right people we we're not in that position so we will continue to be disrespected they don't give a fuck sure and we're beefing with each other too much it's not just that it's not just that i'm listening in solidarity if you disrespect a jewish person they stand together they not fucking with you you could disrespect a black person and the biggest black artist in the world would be on your show i didn't know joe rogan was saying some of this shit. It's coming across. But I've seen mad black megastars on his show. We don't stand together in

solidarity. I keep telling y'all. I don't understand how you can misconstrue him saying, yo, I walked in the spot. It was like Planet of the Apes in there. Not a white person in sight. Please. Maybe I'm misconstruing it. No, you're not. Tell me how you meant it.

Because you know what I mean? I ain't mean it like that. Tell me how you meant it. Then he said some shit I heard about saying, oh, you got the best of both worlds. You got the black genes, so you gifted physically. And then you got the white genes, so you got the white brain. Then he said, oh, not saying that, you know, black people don't have brains, but you get what I mean. No, I don't. Tell me how you mean it, my nigga.

You get what I'm saying? Certain shit like that, you can't misconstrue. He said it. And double down and triple down on it. Dave Chappelle's been on the show. I've seen Kevin Hart on the show. I've seen our mega stars on his fucking show and on his platform. So nothing is going to change as long as we support shit like that and we pander.

They don't give us a chance to say, yo, what you meant by that? Immediate shutdown. And we still support this nigga. So it's our fault. That's all I keep saying, bro. It's our fault. I don't blame nobody

that we get rent rolled over like this but us indeed you have nothing to say we unpacked it enough yo no y'all did it oh no this wasn't even one of them things where i thought y'all was no what i what i thought i couldn't say is said so i'll take the shot for you for him I'll take it for you but nah there's an extended conversation to be had I don't know if we

extend it here but that conversation goes on cause then you start looking at the people behind these people that's you know how you

giving it up and you still like it's so much deeper bro yeah it's deeper it's just it's an inferiority

thing that we have as black people true um we feel like we shouldn't be in positions of excellence or of power as much as niggas out here saying black excellence and all other shit it's cliche we feel deep in our hearts I feel like we shouldn't be in certain spaces so that's because it's been

told it's been beaten to but now you're running around saying black excellence so really try and accomplish it so if Gucci do some bullshit if Louis Vuitton do some bullshit

we'll get up here and we'll diss the motherfuckers for a month three months later, we Gucci'd out. We Louis Vuitton'd out. So do you really believe that? You get what I'm saying?

Like, do you really, really believe that these motherfuckers, we look at ourselves as less than. So why would they not? And I say it all the time. Like, why would they not?

We really got the shit. We got to heal. Not them. Fuck them. And that's why. Because there's no way that if i'm a megastar and i'm black and i hear this man say this shit i'm going on this platform never i don't give a fuck what the bag look like these niggas is rich already they don't need no bag associated with joe rogan fuck him i would never go on his platform if i heard him say those things i don't give a fuck how many cool black people interview and all that other shit because that'd be the justification yo he'd be having all the

cool black fuck out my face well no i hate to be the guy to come in with the paper sheet again but if you have a message you want to get out there and you know if you hit this person this person and this person then it reaches all the demos is it a message or a new film you're promoting your movie or you're promoting your stand-up or you're promoting your album or you're promoting something you're not promoting a message necessarily if you got a message and you want to reach the white demo that could possibly gain something from your message then i'm with you but if you're just shooting a film and you're promoting your new movie and you're going on this platform because he got a hundred zillion listeners and you just promoting your

movie, fuck out my face. Listen, stoppage at work would fix a lot of things. It would. Listen, we stopped going outside for a month over here and New York started going crazy. Word.

Hey, when them trice stayed all the time, when them niggas in the trains get mad. When the train niggas get mad And the planes When the T-trains Airplane niggas get mad The pilots Yeah Airports shut down

Nobody going nowhere There's power in that And NDR already said it If more people would do this We might Could begin our negotiation And we can stop begging one of Ice's favorite quotes

united we bargain divided we beg yeah we won't unite cause it don't I swear it wouldn't take long I don't even think it would take long

if you was organized we can't organize just stopped yo we can't organize cause we so busy worried about who's at the top. Nah, we selfish. Nah, we worried about who to cancel. No, we selfish.

No, no, no. No, not even. We selfish. Like, yo, why he the face of this? Or why he speaking for? Like, we selfish, bro. I think it's the selfishness. I think that.

We selfish, dog. Take the Colin Kaepernick shit. I love y'all black history month message. No, I'm just saying it's just real shit yo bruh we don't need them to fix us we gotta fix us

Colin Kaepernick motherfuckers had kids to feed so a nigga said yo bruh I wanna step over the line with him I can't if 70%

of the NFL which is black all stepped over the line it stops tomorrow you have no product 70% of the NFL is black if we all in solidarity stepped over the line, it stops tomorrow. You have no product. 70% of the NFL is black. If we all in solidarity stepped over the line and said, fuck that, this is wrong,

it stops tomorrow. But people be selfish and say, yo, I got kids to feed. I got a mortgage to pay. I can't. I'm with you in spirit, my nigga. I'm a low-key nil and give you the fist, but I can't step over the line with you in the front.

And not for nothing, you need some of these supposed white allies to help as well because i think if tom brady if drew breeze or something takes i disagree with that i agree with you but i disagree i disagree with that i disagree with that 100 fuck the whites in our struggle we have the power in numbers yeah fuck the whites in our own struggle we don't need them i agree i'm sorry we don't need them it would be good if they came but we don't need them we don't need them we I agree. I'm sorry. We don't need them. It would be good if they came, but we don't need them. We don't need them. We are 70% of your product.

True. 70% of your product. If the black people boycotted the NFL for one week, it would not take a week. No, one week. It would not take a week. The numbers got to reflect. You got to have the numbers come back. You got to have the numbers come back.

Y'all saying a week. Hey, we sitting out week one through four. No, I'm just saying a week. Yo, the refs did that and you saw a change. Think about that. Their product on the field was all the way fucked up when the refs got mad. Yeah, whatever, man. Because I'm going to get mad.

I'm just saying. We own the power. Just don't recognize it. And we so worried about the next man. I'm just saying, we own the power. Just don't recognize it. And we're so worried about the next man. See, selfish. What you playing?

I don't know how to fix it. So don't, I see the problem. We all see the problem. I really have no clue how to fix it. Damn, yeah.

Yeah, you fucking depressing fuck. Damn. But I mean, Damn, yeah, go there Yeah, you thought that Depressing fucks Damn But I mean, it's not really your fault Everything the rest of the way through Was not the greatest It's all pretty sad

Draco the Ruler Civil suit, 60 million dollars And that's probably just the start of it To be honest with you And that's probably just the start of it, to be honest with you. There has been a lot of death in the last year. Of kids. Girl, you're looking sweet tonight. I don't believe you.

Wish that I could love you right In a special way Mic check, one, two, one, two, and it goes You light my mind I feel alive With the baby You blow my mind Draco the Ruler his family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit

against Live Nation and other promoters of the Once Upon a Time in LA Festival, citing a lack of proper safety measures connected to the rapper's murder at the event on December 18th. 28 year old was fatally stabbed backstage at the festival before he was scheduled

to perform. Yeah, this was bad. And they're probably going to give, uh, that's something that's going to go up. Oh yeah. You think give that summer's gonna go up oh yeah you think the numbers gonna go up yeah that's just the start of it

I'll keep you posted with the happenings of this I mean I knew this was coming and they have every bit of right

you didn't have adequate security back there that's on y'all you got mobbed so I agree them lawyers

gonna lawyer though yeah lawyers getting raided them lawyers gonna lawyer ain't got a

argument rest in peace to Draco the Ruler that's a tough that's a nasty way to go like he was booked he was booked here he was booked at the show I'm at work Rest in peace to Draco the Ruler. That's a tough, that's a nasty way to go. Like he was booked.

He was booked here. He was booked at the show. I'm at work. And see, this is where the bullshit comes in. You booked as a rising star. So you are there under rising star rules, which means you can only bring but so many people with you so now you're getting to something while you're there with somebody that might have

a million people with them just gonna get to nasty but what do you do if you're home if you're the new act that I made you be earlier, and I threw all those situations at you, and now festivals are involved.

And you can do. Because you don't have the leverage to say, yo, I'm not going. Like, you need to go. You need the bag. You need the notoriety. You need the performance and all that shit. There's a look for you.

And you can only bring four motherfuckers. Right. Yeah, I'll keep you posted with the happenings of this. They also arrested four gentlemen related to Michael K. Williams. Yes, yes.

That was running around stashing shit in Brooklyn garbage cans and behind trees and shit and operating in plain broad day. Jeez. Putting fentanyl in some shit.

Just selling it while you're staying there. Yo, that's crazy that they found him. What you mean? That they found the people. They gonna find you. Oh yeah. No, it just goes to show you that they can really find you Yeah

If they wanna Find you Like he's He's a Celebrity The white dude that Passed away from Mac Miller

No The white dude that passed away from Mission Impossible I don't know He been in mad shit Actor dude Passed away from Mission Impossible

he overdosed they found his dudes too same chap with Mac Miller they found Mac Miller's people like let motherfucking somebody in our family

pass away they won't find him they chalk that shit right on up which means the resources not being allocated to find

the broke people killers but the rich people they gonna go get you it's crazy well no i don't want to say i have to imagine that in a fentanyl related case like they're just going to try to get it all off the street because it's not just about it hitting you who else do they sell to no i believe they are trying to get the fentanyl off the street i'm talking

about putting enough resources and allocating enough resources to find Michael K. Williams' killer or Mac Miller's killer. But Johnny Smith? He would have just been another nigga that OD'd. You get what I'm saying? They don't put the resources into finding those people's killers

like that. It took a while to get Mac Miller's people where they found him. So I think about how many months... This was damn near the summer. this was damn near the summer this was damn near the summer so it took them some months to find them but again the the demand hours and all of that shit that goes into finding it it's crazy like it's not fair but i get it well i'm glad they

found them yeah rest in peace mike we're i love you definitely um what else what else is important what else is important yo new york is about to get crazy i'm gonna just throw this out real quick and we can move on but it's a whole lot of pics and vids and news cameras showing cops lined up by the thousands and they brought the president in yesterday two days ago

to say yo what's up over here and that's where that whole meeting came from with the police and Biden and Eric Adams but their messaging is clear. We about to start fucking y'all up?

Yes. Yep. Bingo. I don't know how you can not hear that or see it, but it's coming. It's coming. That's all I got on that. Be careful out there.

You fucking better. Shit is getting, yeah. Be careful. Because it put police on high alert, that's all I got on that be careful out there nah shit bro you fucking better shit is getting yeah be careful cause they put police on high alert so now when you pulled over for anything

like it's high alert time I mean they always on high alert cause they got a dangerous job yeah but you can tell you get a little yeah nah it's a little

extra aggression you can tell when the checkpoints start going up it's high alert and they standing by the bridge more of them are standing by the bridge. More of them are standing by the bridge and the tunnels. And they might be in a little army gear.

It's high alert and it's ready to go. Now it's a cop car and all them little hiding spot nook and crannies, you know, the one that be there. Maybe sometimes the cop ain't there. No, they're there now. They're just about to get ready. They're not going to sit by and watch dudes shoot at 10, 15, and 20 police. It's innocent bystanders getting hit.

It's children getting hit. New York is chaos. They said murder is up 30-something percent from this time last year. We saying the robberies live. We saying robberies live. Like niggas don't even give a fuck.

They just robbing Jokers broad daylight. That's nuts. You want to jump on? Look at you. Yeah. What happened? Come on with it. Fan, we just talking.

Come on, get your shit on. We just talking about Draco. Draco. You want, Draco, pardon me. You want to talk about Drewski and all of them saying that they're not pushing that music anymore?

Hot 97 in general at this point, right? Is it? I didn't see anything from them. I know Drewski kind of pioneered it, I guess. Shout to him. If it was his little fight. And Drewski says,

if you make drill music, there are a lot of drill songs without dissing your ops or smoking on your ops. Step up your pin game and creativity. No reason why every week someone is getting locked up or killed. I can't change the world,

but I can stop supporting the nonsense. I admit I'm a fan of the drill records and support it from the beginning, but it's only getting worse. SMH. I am not supporting no more diss gang music if you are dissing each other in the songs don't even send it to me i don't care if it's the artist label or your big homie i will not support or play any more diss gang records on the radio we are losing too many young men and women to the streets i'm

gonna clap it up for the young man he had a little bit more to that he said more artists getting booked on the island than than that shows more people getting killed than getting record deals this shit ain't adding up let's keep the sound but let's change the message i know drill is based on dissing but i guarantee you if a real artist with real fans they'll follow your lead and that's not true that's not true that drill is based on killing dissing yes dissing and killing that's not true it's a sound right see that's a misconception and that's conditioning yeah it's a sound yeah it's conditioning there could be a drill gospel record there could be drill there could be drill anything but what's popular is in the drill music is the dissing and the killing yes but he's saying based so i guess the the origins then we don't care about based it's evolved and that's my fucking

point about hip-hop yo that's what he's saying he's saying the same shit i know it's based on dissing but let's move it forward that. That's literally what he's saying. No, I'm agreeing with him. I'm emphatically agreeing with him. But that is my point about this shit. There's too much money in it now. There's too many of y'all talented. There's too many of y'all that can actually get into it and be responsible for a whole other crew.

Y'all can do this now. Yo Gotti ain't got to be the only nigga doing this. Tim, I've been saying this shit for about eight, nine months now. You know these niggas want to put money phones up and fucking do all this stupid shit. And then be surprised when they sign in bad contracts and don't have the information. I don't get it. I support this message from Drewski. I wish more people did it.

Because it's getting fucked up. It is. It is. It's getting bad. That's what I have on that. Thoughts, Isis? Anyone? This is kind of your genre. No. Authenticity is my drama. I mean, it's my genre.

Genre. I support the message as well. It is a lot. We're losing a lot of people. Kids. Essentially. But as a fan of that music, how does that... Again, it's not that... That's the misconception. Oh, you only like drill music girlfriend i'm a fan of people speaking about them yeah don't tell me how you did it tell me

how you stopped yeah like if you like and that that was what i said about dirk and all of them if you're out of that give me something let me hear it how to stop how'd you do that right that's an inspiring message but you could still do shit. You can still talk your street shit without, I'm not dissing this man. I'm not trying to ignite beef with this person. You can still talk your shit. It can still be authentic. It can still be you. So I'm with this.

Evolve is basically what we all, that's the message here. Evolve. Now, I don't know how that's going to fall on ears because there's a lot of young ones that are trying to get in the game. And that's what they're doing. Because they think this is what I have to do. I got real beef with these dudes over here. So I think the way to get on is to diss their homies. Then they diss my homies.

Now we see each other. Something happens. I believe it was 22 G's. He put out, he said something a little similar. He's like, yo, y'all have to dumb down when you're dissing.

He was like, Word. Yeah, y'all are getting locked up over these lyrics. And he said, now when you diss somebody, we don't even hear the beat.

We don't hear nothing else you're saying everybody's zeroing in on the dis so are you trying to make a hit and get out of here or are you just trying to diss somebody if you're trying to make some hit records dumb it down a little bit you can still pop your shit there's a way to do it all right and i'm with it well speaking of evolution we have our part of the show tier on Patreon round of applause we have our part of the show tier on Patreon

where fans are able to send in comments and leave a phone number in the event that we want to call if the topic is good and Jeff actually has a good one. I've read through a few of them, but Jeff says,

how do you deal with finding out about hidden family? I've never personally gone through it. Me either, thankfully. Not hidden family, but I guess I've gone through like verifying family. Verifying family. Nobody was hiding anybody, but let's just make sure that other babies related. Right?

And that could get sticky. So hidden families are a whole different ballgame. I do know people that have experienced it, and it's rough. Yeah. I want to people that have experienced it, and it's rough. Yeah. I want to call him and find out. Exactly what he's referring to. Oh, he might be the lost kid. Let's hear it.

He might be the nigga that the family ain't fucking with. Get Jeff on the phone, man. No, because I'm going to depress him. Let's see if he answers. Come on. Let's see. Let's see. This is fun.

Yeah. Let me turn this up here. Who the fuck calling me block? Let's see if he answers. Come on. Let's see. Let's see. This is fun. Yeah. Let me turn this up here. Who the fuck called me blocked? Let's see. Yo, you reached me. I can't answer the phone right now. Ah! Damn it, Jeff.

Damn it! I'm trying him again. I'm trying him again. Got this private, probably. Sorry, buddy. All right. All right, Jeff got a job. Hidden family. I wanted to talk to him.

He's probably crying. To those people out there with the part of the show tier, if you get a block number on a Friday or a Tuesday, in the mid-afternoon sometime it's probably it's probably us it's probably i know you're i'm the same way i don't answer them shits i know that's the fucking cable man calling to you know but when we asked for the phone number up there i think we said yo we might call dog right but it's fine we'll maybe send a text out in the future but hidden family anybody experienced it if we can. Hidden family. Anybody experienced it?

Do you know somebody that went through it? I know some people have. I haven't personally experienced it. I remember an ex-girlfriend of mine, and it was wild because her parents were very, very long-term church members. Pops was the pastor. Moms was the evangelist. It was one of them situations. Moms was the pastor.

Moms was the evangelist. It was like one of them situations. Out of nowhere, a dude came up one day that was like, I mean, he must have been in his late 20s, early 30s, and was like, yo, I'm your son to moms. And they didn't believe it at first. They was like, fuck out of here. And when started having a discussion to see what was really happening. Like, oh, shit, this really is. Time out, time out.

It was the mother's son or the father's son? It was the father's son. Oh, okay. It's just always the father's son. Yeah, I was about to say that. That's different. Go ahead, though. Well, except for Mary J. Blash and Power. Yeah, except for Zeke.

But go ahead. But, yeah, so they welcomed him in to an extent and waited for, of course, testing and everything. And when he came back, he was a father. They just embraced him. And they didn't cause no turmoil in the house? Nah, nah. They really didn't. I know some folks that have had this kind of situation happen.

I don't want to put anybody's business out there, but it's weird. You got a sibling that you didn't really know about in like, they're not the closest, you know what I'm saying? Like, and it's not like an animosity thing. It's just, it wasn't close.

they siblings. Oh, word? Yeah, first cousins, siblings, all that shit. So this is a little personal story. I love these. Me too. I'm going to be edging my couch. No, it's like a cousin of mine.

He hadn't seen his daughter in a long time, like 25 years or so. And this literally happened like two, three weeks ago. And he's on the phone. He's like, yo, I forgot to tell you what happened. And I was like, what's happening? And he told me that his daughter reached out to him after like 25 years. Just called him out the blue. He thought it was like a prank call.

She asked him his name, all this other shit. They go through the story. So he's like, yo, I got a picture of you in my office of you and your cousin Ish. And she's like, ugh, don't say that name. And he's like, what you mean? She's like, yeah, you a little older. You don't watch the show. But it's a show called Joe Button Podcast.

I've spoken to her live personally like three four she called me every day damn near text me every day but he's been elated it seems almost

as if she found like some you know a new whole side of her life that she never had. So that's super dope. But I'm sure it's a situation where it could potentially go far left in a negative way. I'm trying to call Jeff again. I think we shot him a text.
