Y'all used to didn't care too much about the intro music. Then you started getting good at the intros. Then we was like, alright. He said he was trash before. Look how you speak to number one. I'm supporting you though. Look how you speak to number one. But nah, the intros started getting a little lit for a minute. Pretty good. Oh, well thanks then.

I thought they was always lit, but alright. They wasn't always lit. Not always. They was alright. Because you had the ability to tell. Always. Always. I love y'all. Always. I love that. My crew. My dogs.

You take an oak tree seed and you put it in a two-foot pot. That seed will never become the oak tree that oak trees are capable of becoming because it's going to get stifled by the two-foot pot. Ain't nothing wrong with the seed. The seed just fell prey to the environment. Don't you allow your environment to dictate the oak tree that you become. Take your seed.

Take your gift. Get away from these people that's in your life that ain't doing nothing. Get away from people in your life that's hating. Get away from your family members that ain't ever opened a business. Get away from your family members that ain't ever followed their dreams.

Get away from your family members that ain't never been nowhere but to the family reunion, ain't never been to a beach. Get away from your family members.

I saw some little clips That shit does look beautiful Yes You said he set you up Nice and proper like Gave you celebrity status. You ain't really want to be bothered with the pics and all of that. I did say that.

You wanted to keep it low. You got big celebrity on me on that phone, but you my man, so I let it ride. I ain't no beef. Like, good, live life. This morning, I'm on the phone with Ian. Oh, shit. Ian say Flip was at the restaurant last night.

I say, yeah, he told me. But then that's all I said to get the other person to divulge more. And then he said, yeah, man, I was in the house. Flip came by, stopped by with some oxtail. Oh, shit. He said, I ate some oxtail last night. It was so late. I feel horrible.

I have to get to running and exercising. I shouldn't have ate, but boy, was it delicious. And I said, oh, man, that's dope. That's dope. I fuck with that shit. I fuck with that shit. Can I ask a question real quick? What? Did you get the oxtail? No. Okay. I said, I fuck with that shit, but guess what? Want to know the truth? I was hating.

I presented it like support. I see what you did there. I presented it like support. I see what you did there. I presented it like support. I see what you did there. But it was really hate. But really what it was. You're good.

Was hate. Hey. The boy good. And we're going to talk today about. Support hate. Support hate. Are we putting names on the bullet? Or are we just leaving it out there?

Well, there's red pill or blue pill. You can make the decision. I'm prepared to go either out there? Well, it is red pill or blue pill. You can make the decision. I'm prepared to go either way. It's just not here. I was about to say. Oh, wait, no, I'm not putting names on it. I'm not putting names on it.

Oh, you're not going to put names on it. I can't put names on it. Why? Yeah, and for? I'm not putting names on it because home, I've been home all week, and the firing squad has been lined up outside of my house, just taking shot after shot after shot, shooting me with their best bullets and missiles. But they wasn't really shooting at me because they didn't say it was to me. They were able to disguise. They were subbing.

They were subbing. And that's when it hit me like a ton of bricks in the house these niggas sub better than me that is a skill that they possess that that I come in here be direct ruin relationships burn bridges kill the sponsors and integrations offend people make the blogs like I do that well but y'all that we not used to seeing hate y'all hide it better so today I'm coming in with subs or what I thought was subs because I want to match their sub I don't want them to be better with the subs that me but the more I thought thought about the subs, it came more across as honest critique from number one to number the rest of you. I need to, once I'm given the names,

I'm going to say it. So please just don't tell me anything. I'm going to send subs, and if you're able to match the sub with the name, then feel free. Can you whisper to me, please? But we don't have to start there. That sounds like too much fun to start.

Why? I want to start there now. That's too much fun. We got music dropping. We got a lot of other shit. There's music. There's murders. It's the weekend.

It's the weekend. All you niggas going to get shot at. As soon as I'm done. Oh, my God. Pow, pow, pow. Hello. Who did it? And they tell me in the street, why don't you take ads?

Because then we can't say things like this. We get a lot of support. The shows get support, retweeted. You know, I have different eyes in the media that watches and support. And now I'm hearing that these same people that support are spewing subliminal hate towards the company. I don't stand with that. It ain't the company, it's me. It's just me they firing at.

You are the company. They think y'all kind of cool actually. They all think y'all fly. You cool, bitch. You mean it? It's me. We from the old school. Listen, I got subs for y'all coming in about we'll see, maybe 20 minutes from now. Okay, cool.

I got a lot of, my entire docket is law and order. All of it is us finding out the cause of death for certain people. Other people got sentenced. Other people have been murdered. And that's where I would like to start. Okay. I would like to start with rest in peace to Bob Lee, the Cash App co-founder that was murdered in San Francisco.

Under mysterious circumstances thus far. We don't know what happened. The circumstances that have been presented are that it was a random mugging attempt. That was it. And I don't know about you all, but I call super duper bullshit on that in a nice it was a tech district or something like that yeah

we're there probably isn't a lot of muggings typically right yeah all right walk us through why you're calling cap and you're not the only one to call cap on this all of the conspiracy theorists alarm went off at the same time because of the FedNow announcement two days later, a day later. That's literally the main reason why this smells of conspiracy. You know, there's been

a couple of deaths that have happened with tech founders. Tech founders, crypto guys. And Bob Lee was the head of a on this crypto guy. A lot of crypto guys. Exactly. And Bob Lee. Yes. Bob Lee. Was the head of a crypto coin.

Yeah. At the time of his death. Yeah. So this falls in line with that as well. Exactly. Well, I probably have more focus there

because Bob Lee sold this company. Can we fact check that? We don't know his involvement in the day-to-day with Cash App. Also, Cash App is not the only digital finance app. Correct. There is. So it would be like, why would we kill him in relation to Cash App and the Fed now?

A lot of people died. Yeah, he was chief technology officer of square and that's when he created cash app but it doesn't that was years ago it doesn't say that he had any involvement today he was the chief product officer for the cryptocurrency firm mobile coin at the time of his death and he was back in San Francisco for a visit oh no yeah I'm sorry Rob conspiracy theorist he he he moved to Miami in October it was just back here for a visit according to his father that's the thing that really pains me about like this about PNB being murdered like only being out there to

attend the wedding yeah like when you get on a plane and can't go back home or or not fortunate enough to get back home boy does it hit different yeah flip you were saying a lot of people died that's related to cryptocurrency did you pull up a list I did one of One of them, the co-founder of MakerDAO, I don't know how to pronounce his name, Nikolai, found dead in Puerto Rico in October. Then November, somebody was found dead in Spain, which was Javier.

Then November 23rd, another was found dead in his sleep, a Russian crypto billionaire died in a helicopter crash. Oh, shit. What the hell? Yeah. I can see why conspiracy theorists

Is this sounding very House of Cards-like? You know what I mean? But why are they killing all of them for? Let's talk about it. Why are they knocking them niggas off, folks?

I don't know. Well, clearly, they all know something that the rest of us don't. Right. And the inevitable is that we will be in a paperless system at some point. Yeah.

I imagine there is a fight going on at the top of that brass. It's not my wheelhouse. Yeah, that us commenters don't know shit about. Yeah, we don't know. But if you had to guess. But I'm going to guess that Bob Lee probably had information that none of us in this room had. I'm sure.

Bob Lee probably had information that none of us in this room had. I'm sure. And I won't say because they be filing lawsuits about when you say shit. Once you start working with them, them crypto coins and you start seeing how things are mined and moved and you just get access to a different level of information. And if they trying to get into that field and they are basically like deregulates the banking system that's basically what happened so in that way we can't let this succeed exactly yeah there's a lot of there's a

lot of people that would have beef with that with a lot of power and money so making system is how they controlled everything forever. So they're going to just kill. This is a rabbit hole episode. It is. They're going to just kill everybody and not expect people to ask questions? I feel like what's going to happen after Lee's death is there's going to be some kind of expose that's going to come out on, you know, in one of the outlets like Vox or the Atlantic. Or cock sources.

No, I mean a reputable one. I mean a reputable one. Reputable cock. It's going to be an investigative piece that's going to tie all of it together. I have a feeling that that's what's going to come out eventually. Wow. My thing is this. Knowing absolutely nothing about the crypto world.

This looks fishy. It does. Like before we even get to a crypto conversation, the way that this was reported, Bob Lee, co-founder of like this was what morning was this? Wednesday morning, I believe wednesday morning i believe i think it was wednesday morning okay this billionaire guy or very wealthy man is out at 2 30 a.m by himself all right cool i'll buy it it happens right it happens it's not so far-fetched right now not at all san francisco which is ain't that like one of the tech capitals of the world? Yes. Listen, if the ring cameras in New Jersey pick up all of this stuff, I imagine they're recording on every street

in that particular area. So footage has just been kind of released that shows him in the moments after he was stabbed where he's kind of stumbling around and looking for help. But it doesn't seem to have captured the person that stabbed him. Well, then we get to that. Random mugger slash attacker. Well, that's kind of soon for y'all to even say that.

Yeah. That's funny. Why would y'all say that? Why would y'all to even say that. Yeah. That's funny. Why would y'all say that? Why would y'all put that out already? Why would you say that an hour into this? Two hours? Three hours? With no investigation, no nothing.

This was random. How could you say it's random if this guy is who we say he is? That was odd. Okay. That's jumping out ahead of us. I just know that we got the helicopters up in the street, and in a few more hours, we will hear more information on this. But not a peep.

Nothing came after. Several days later still. That was weird because of the status of this man. And in recent cases similar, like when the Fashion Nova dude something happened to him they was on that ass they got that guy brought him to justice in a matter of hours uh clarence abon yeah yep quick really really really fast when there's that type of status and money involved this one it was just too quiet mom's the word so i'm sitting home the whole time just saying all right who killed bob lee i know by now y'all got posters and signs up uh getting tips phone lines i know the reward is high somebody's got to say something and still

to the time of this recording, not a peep. Not even a description. He was a vagrant. You know, something. Nothing. That sounds funny. It's weird. Yeah.

That's weird. It is. It's weird. Yeah. It's almost like a mandate kind of went out in order to just kind of put the kibosh on any kind of questions being asked. And I watch way too many TV shows that do this. Dog, I watch way too much 24 for me to watch this and say, everything's normal.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm starting to join the club of conspiracy theorists. But then my thing is this. Even if you're not in conspiracy theorist club, the next day I woke up saying, well, why the fuck would Fed now want to put this announcement out right now anyway? Yeah, you might want to push that back a couple days at least.

Shit. That's odd. That's just odd timing. I think the move that, and I'm jumping off the cliff here, please allow me. The move that China is making is allowing the government to panic. And they're doing shit like this. They're forgetting that somebody got knocked off and they're just putting shit out. China is replacing, they got up with everybody to replace the U.S. currency over there.

It's crazy. I think we're in panic mode. That makes sense. If you're asking me to just freestyle some shit with you, then I definitely thought of all of that brick stuff and the pictures that they've been taking together, all of them standing in front of all of these flags, right? And if I was America and I were trying to combat that, somebody I would call during that process is the cash app guy.

Yeah, probably. And the crypto guy is nothing of them. I would call during that process is the cash app guy. And the crypto guy. I would call them. And depending on how that conversation goes, I might hang up angry. Or espionage. Yes. All of this

is speculative and this is an entertainment podcast. I have no facts. Please. All I have is an entertainment podcast. I have no facts. Please, all I have is man's intuition. Hey, Joe. What? Or,

all of them might know that's the person you gonna call. Or Bob Lee was fucking with them. Don't play with me. I start thinking

that's what the balloon in the air was for. Y'all was worried about some other shit. They was just tracking Bob. You know what I mean? It's like, all right, once we start showing them what we doing,

we know who they gonna reach out to to try to get they shit going. So let's start. Rest in peace, Bob Lee, but it is a little strange that we have yet to hear. He had kids and shit, family. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace. I hate it. I don't like to... I haven't even read the question enough on the internet for me. Who killed Bob Lee? I don't even read the question enough on the internet for me who killed Bob Lee I don't even see people typing that yeah there's not enough

of an inquiry being made publicly you're right it's just quiet where would you see that question at everywhere chat GPT I don't even know what that does or is I'm such a don't know what I'm just saying, like, Twitter's privately owned now. So that's controlled.

Everywhere's controlled. You know what I'm saying? All the places that we get our information from is controlled. People might be asking that question, but no, we're not going to let that get out there like that. It's sad because we're living in a world where all this shit is happening right in front of our eyes. And then all we're left is to ask this question right back to back since october so many crypto billionaires have been killed one died in a helicopter crash the other one died in his sleep but mostly and they're looking at bob lee and what

we just got to sit here and watch this shit happen not get any answers and because you know how life moves so fast we're going to be on to the next. But we need people like the Joe Button Podcast, Joe, to stick on it. Who the fuck killed Bob Lee? And we want to know. And why would be nice too. And why?

Well, we're not going to find out why. No. They're probably going to make somebody, it's probably going to be an ex- We're going to get a fall person. It's probably going to be an ex-military guy that was mad about some shit they're going to make up. You know, let's see where it's going with their thoughts. Oh yeah, no, it's going to be an ex-military guy that was mad about some shit they're going to make up.

I see where it's going with their foster parents. It's going to be a homeless person that was strung out on drugs or whatever. That's what you think it's going to be? There's a big homeless population

in San Francisco, so that's an easy fall. Oh, yeah. Got it. Easy fall. Very good. Damn, CP. Are you okay?

I'm great. Damn, that German side is kicking in huh and more law and law and order news let me just get all of this out of the way yeah let's get it all the triple X

murderers get life life actually I'm gonna play a little clip here cause that judge went off did y'all hear that judge went off did y'all hear the judge go I did I did I didn't but I did see their reaction to the verdict hmm I didn't seem phased I mean they kind of it was like mandatory

you want you got convicted that's you if you were getting that say here we go give it to them they kind of look the robbery and murder and on that day when you stood there and fired that weapon you didn't just end one life you effectively ended five lives including your own like I just said you need to understand that when we say life in Florida State Prison that that means life. It is necessarily without parole. Florida abolished parole. You know, as the song says, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

You will spend. He's going off. He gave me Eagles bars in the sentence. Yeah, now you're going off. The rest of your life in prison. From here, you will go and be placed in a cell that has a stainless steel slab that's attached to the wall. That's your bed. And next to it is a stainless steel sink and a stainless steel toilet. That's the furniture that you have in that cell.

You'll spend every hour and every day and every week and every year of your life in that cell. And one day, they'll come and open up that cell in the morning and you'll have passed on. And only on that day will you observe your sentence. Holy shit. Fire. Damn. I was waiting for some music to come in underneath that. You know what I mean?

You already know they're going to put the ether music in the back of that at some point. Listen, I love when judges, when they're sentencing, they don't just say what the term is and bang the gavel. I love when they are so impassioned by what has just transpired in front of them, they've got to give a fucking monologue. Yeah, they got to give you some bars. I love that shit. We need

more love in the world, yo. If these people loved themselves just a little more, they would have valued themselves a little more, and they have valued themselves a little more. And they wouldn't have just thrown their life away for that 50 grand or that motorcycle or whatever they were trying to do that day. True. If you want to rob somebody, hey, get it how you got to get it. I understand desperate times and desperate measures.

When you are killing an 18 year old. No, no. Rest in peace x man and you said that triple x and dmx and you said that um you saw what they like they kind of just look stone-faced yeah their reaction was it looks like apathy yeah that looks stupid in the face like i said they do make your faces shaking their head they. They had that talk already. Looking at their mans. Yeah, they didn't have it. Nothing gonna change.

Yo, he getting ready to come in here, sentence y'all to life. They didn't have any emotion, but I think that- In Florida, once you're convicted of that charge,

it carries a life sentence. And like the judge told them, ain't no parole here. Life means life. So, they didn't have that talk. Even after the talk, a lot of times,

you know, the gavel banging basically really makes it hit home. Makes it real. Makes it real. And then there's some kind of emotional response to the fact that your life is pretty much over. Here's my question, though. The law out there in Florida, right,

all three of them didn't shoot him, right? But they were co-conspirators. As long as you're like present during the, you know, during the felony or like a murder being committed, like you're committed.

Got it. Yeah. You're going to go down for the same crime. That's crazy. Sound like Florida. And they just, sorry,

tell everybody to walk around with guns. That shit is insane. No permit, no training, nothing. Just go buy a gun. Yeah walk around with guns. That shit is insane. No permit, no training, nothing. Just go buy a gun. Yeah, I saw that. In other Law & Order news,

Lance Reddick's cause of death revealed. Rest in peace to Lance Reddick. Heart and artery disease. Coolio's cause of death revealed. Fentanyl and heroin. Rest in peace to Coolio's cause of death revealed fentanyl and heroin rest in peace to Coolio rest in peace Michael K his dealer was sentenced as well

what did he get I was trying to find the terms I didn't see what he got but they got him and one of Pop Smoke's killers who was under age at the time of the murder. Sentenced to four years in juvie. Sentenced to four, a little bit over four years in juvie.

He wasn't, Michael K's killer wasn't sentenced yet. He pled guilty. Got it. That's what it was. That's why I couldn't, yeah. He wasn't sentenced yet. Four and a half years. I mean, four years and a couple months in juvie for your participation.

See the difference in where the laws are and where it happens at? And the pop smoke one time, that one really upsets me. That one hits me deeper than I thought it would. His impact. His impact. His impact. It's like Biggie Jr. for me. Like, he was... He was out of here.

He was gone to be young like that. And he just had a grip on the young people, man. Rest in peace to Pop Smoke and everybody that lost their life these last few years. I was going to ask you guys what you thought about the sentencing, like the length of sentence.

And, you know, this is America where we're all about crime and punishment. And I just wondered if you guys thought that that was enough time and that there's the chance that this young man would be rehabilitated. The four months seemed short to me, but I don't know what his involvement was. But it seemed short to me. Four years. Four years. In juvie.

Yeah. But he was 17 at the time. 17 at the time it happened. See, people charge that as an adult, younger. It seems off to me. And the answer to that question is no, Melissa. I don't think that's a chance. I don't think so either.

I think that actually would make you not afraid to do it again. It's almost like the slap on the wrist. Oh, that's all I got? Yeah. I can do that standing up. Yeah, agreed. Ain't played this in a while in the pod Wish that I could love you right

Wish there's a way Talk to him Ooh, like my mind I'm ready for spring, I am I ain't feelin' alive With 50-50 Ooh, on my mind I feel alive with 50 and up I know about you Shout out to the parents listening too

Go ahead. Nah, yeah, yeah. I'm changing the topic. I went to go see the Super Mario Brothers movie. That you did. And it was fucking fire. Yeah, I was going to say, to all the big kids out there who grew up on Super Mario, they did this right. This was for us.

Who's in it? I don't know. It's a cartoon. Mario and Luigi. Nah, I know Jack Black played Bowser. The guy that played Chris Pratt was Mario. Some other names

in there. John Leguizamo ain't like none of that shit. What John Leguizamo did? He was mad that it was not inclusive to Latin people because he was in the original one. That original one was terrible by the way. Y'all got Black Panther. Kick rocks.

So yeah, go see it. Chris, for nostalgia purposes. I heard there was standing ovations in some theaters and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, I guess the critics, I don't know. I was speaking to Ian yesterday and he said that they wouldn't see it or his wife wouldn't see it because the critics said it was not good. I'm like, huh?

I don't listen to critics. I'm my own critic. No, because Chris Pratt is in it. Yeah, it was a lot of that. I don't. I'm my own critic. No, because Chris Pratt is in it. Yeah, it was a lot of that. I don't know what he did, but people, oh, Chris Pratt is in it? Nah, I can't fuck with that movie. And I'm like, what did he do? Why is he canceled? I thought he was squeaky clean, man.

Listen, Guardians of the Galaxy come out next month. Go to see it. I already bought my ticket. And they had the popcorn joint, right? A lot of people can't afford another gigantic loss like that. They still mourning over that Kevin Spacey. They still mourning over that. That hurt.

That was a talented thug. He was a good actor, man. That was they are, Kelly. A monster. That one hurt like the R hurt. Kevin Spacey, yeah. That boy was good. He was.

He was. He was a sick fuck that shit just that shit just came tumbling down they thought they had they thought they had their hands full

When it comes to hookah and drinks, you there, huh? No, no. Talking about live shows all day, huh? Plays and shit. Okay, look. Right now, I am on a diet plan.

You guys have seen the shit that I've been eating. I have. It is not fun. And you were having my favorite food catered. West Indian food? Yo, I could not do that to myself.

You don't understand. I would have, like, laid on the table. I want to... You dead ass about this summer body shit, huh? Listen, I am disciplined. When a bitch wants to be outside naked, hello. No, you did good. I mean, listen, I am disciplined. When a bitch wants to be outside naked, hello. No,

you did good. I mean, you share food here, so I just wanted to share food with you. I, listen, when this diet is over, please have them come back.

I got you. I got you. But right now, I am the Pilates queen. I am drinking a gallon of water. I'm urinating every five fucking minutes

and I'm eating a lot of sweet potato. It's not my life sucks right now. That sounds pretty bad. Tilapia and sweet potato. It's not fun. Tilapia? You have to eat the garbage.

Get a little better fish than that though. Get some cod at least. White fish, low fat. I know. See? look. Tilapia. She gave me tilapia. Sorry.

Come on, y'all want to talk about the Drake mid? Sure. You didn't like it? I like that shit. I didn't like that shit at all. I like that shit. I was wondering if he was going to come in and tell the truth or if he was going to act like it was fire. I like that shit.

Why do people say that? Because it's Drake. When do we come in here and pretend something is like it was fire. I like that. Why do people say that? Because it's true. When do we come in here and pretend something is... Not us. I'm just saying general. The general public, I've seen them looking

for one or two lines. There's a lot. When did it come out? Officially, it came out midnight. I will absolutely say something is mid or trash when it is.

Good. I appreciate that. Without fear of retribution because whatever the fuck. A lot of people don't. If it's their favorite artist or if it's that untouchable artist, they won't say it. I told my audience that for the for the for the year I'm committing I'm committing to the truth. So I'm not going to come in here and say something is heat if it's mid.

Like if I like it, I'm going to say I like it. Like if I like it, I'm going to say I like it. And I'm doing this new thing where I'm just going to I'm just going to really try to explain why I think some of these albums are getting the treatment that they get from the business side, like from the label. Same same way we spoke about with Black. Like, I want to talk to you. Well, after Drake, we can get to Ray Shrumer. But yeah, I know this is like. I don't need any of the Drake from the Lil Yachty

throwaway pack. Whatever Drake Yachty really wrote, like, I don't need, I'm cool. And that's clearly what this sounds like for me. I think Yachty is credited as a producer on it. And Yachty wrote some slaps over there, I'm sure.

And Yachty's album is fire. But it. And Yachty wrote some slaps over there, I'm sure. ADI's album is fire. But the throwaways, like Search and Rescue. I like that shit a little bit. I was on my toilet. So appropriate. Last week after he premiered it on the show, and I was like, this what I'm saying?

People go crazy over this? I didn't hear it yet. You ain't missing nothing. I'll play a little bit for you. I'm not missing much. Thank you, Joe. I'll give you a little a little little something he didn't even need I don't know what was the point of putting that out Lucy dress back yeah I'm not mad at Lucy drink because it's usually there's more

Lucy's coming yeah they don't all gotta be so i'm okay with that penny x i need someone to be patient with me someone to get money when i take it from me they don't even need to be as famous i don't think i need i need to see the dance attached to this for me to dig this maybe i think about you all day mommy i y'all as I'm giving this review, I was also wrong about everything on If You're Reading This, It's's too late i want to preface this with that i've been mad wrong on flat drake singing something catchy that y'all rave to and i'll be like really but that should be working yeah so if later on this somehow manages to work i'm gonna blame y'all Cause this is some bullshit Come and rescue me No rescue me

Facts Rescue me Facts This shit is I'm not turning this on anywhere Respectfully to Drake Y'all know how I feel about Drake Yeah it could just be the same

The same for us He didn't make this for us I like this shit a little bit Especially after all that dance shit. Made it for you. This shit's all right. I'm not rushing to it, but it is. I'm not going to hear this.

Dog, I went to sleep last night at 9 p.m., and when I woke up at 3.30, I didn't have that tingling sensation in my soul like I normally do when New Drake is coming out. I'm connected to the vibrations of the earth. I just knew it was mid. I had that mid feeling. Medieval times was coming.

He wasn't going to lace us, man. The record was out. He played it over on his little radio show. Niggas heard it. He threw that out because that nigga made $10 million during March Madness. That nigga just made something stupid. Just throw this out to y'all here. He be in the house having to remember here.

Yo, oh shit. Yo, give him something, I guess. Yo, hey, check the fridge, see if there's a little something in there. Just get after them niggas and see what's happening. I like it a little bit. It's not bad to me. I will never hear that again.

I bet you will. I guess that's the under 40 response. I'm under 40 and I don't like it. Barely. I'm sorry. He's barely under 40. You just say me. But I'm 35.

And you the OG today. Yeah. Okay, so it does sound like a throwaway to me. Taking him to memory lane on the grammar. Taking him down memory lane. And was talking shit too. I begged her. Let me see.

I thought you were story lanes. I got to go to mail shit. It's probably gone. Story lanes. It's gone? Canadian. Look at it. I see what she did.

Oh, man. Yeah. But listen, I do hope we get some new Drake. This won't be the last. Yeah. This won't be the last. And I like Lucy Drake. Especially for the summertime.

Scary hours Drake. You know, two pack, three pack. If this shit come on in the spot, I'm going to be mad. I don't think you will be. Yes, the fuck I am. You skipped a lot of Drake. If this shit come on in the spot, I'm going to be mad. I don't think you will be. Yes, the fuck I am. You skipped a lot of Drake heat for this to come on the spot. That whole 21 album is hard. Play something from it.

Hey, it's girls in here. That whole fucking Mykonos album he put out is hard. Play it. No, it's not. It's joints on there. It's not. Hey, I stand in that. It's joints on there.

I ain't going back to one of them. That shit is ass, bro. Y'all bugging. But there. I ain't going back to one of them. That shit is ass, bro. Y'all bugging. But anyway. We ain't in Mykonos, nigga. We in New York. That shit is ass. New York is nice.

That shit is, take that over there. That shit is ass. Y'all taste is weird, though. You took 21 off the good album. And you said Scissor was mid. Like those two, those are two on your jacket

like my chance take. Like those two are on your jacket. I know you don't care. You about to get defensive. No,. You're about to get defensive. No, I'm not about to get defensive. I took 21 off. I told you, it just didn't match well for me.

I sounded better as a solo Drake project. He wasn't on there enough to even feel like a joint album. I'm not going to lie. I haven't gone back to the 21 album that much either. Honestly. That's because 38's special drop every week. I mean, that's true. That's true.

You got to keep up with your backpacks, people. That's facts. That's all. Ice, talk to me about Ray Shremmer. Yeah. I was very shocked to see that Ray Shremmer was dropping.

Shrem Life 4. Shrem for Life. I mean, Shrem for Life 4 was, I was very shocked to see that album drop in its entirety today. Me too. I got, you know,

I got the little Russian iTunes store and New Zealand shit so I can get them a little early. Hey, whatever. You got to do what you got to do. Hey, no matter. And I said, wait, Ray Shremmer? I got the little Russian iTunes store and the New Zealand shit so I can get them a little early. Hey, whatever. You got to do what you got to do.

Hey, no matter. And I said, wait, Ray Swimmer? The album? Quiet, Quiet Drop. Quiet Drop. They did two singles. And remember, one was like January or February and I came in here upset about it. Why?

Because they don't make music for the winter. I don't want a Ray Swimmer. I didn't even want to hear that. And that same single sounds great on the album now. It just happened to be 80 degrees almost yesterday. I jumped right in the car. Car wash, I need to hear this, how it's supposed to sound while it's warm out.

And track one, yep, this is what I've been missing. That first track is hard. I'll tell you the name. Baddies. Origami hotty so I'm sorry hotties no y'all not even sure fans he got this record is called or origami hotties track one off shrimp for life I told him getting wasted I was thinking why me, why me, why me Can't you see the others that surround me? You've never heard of them, have you? I don't need to hear about your past, Charles.

Won't you keep prancing around in a beach towel? Get a few items, cassoon on me. Yes, we bought the paper, origami. Yeah, breeze through, and somehow I spend a whammy. I like that shit. Love it. Love it. That's some throwback Ray Shriver.

That's the Ray Shriver I want to hear. Facts. Me too. Right there. I'm going to offer some pushback on that. Rock out. Go ahead. That is not the old Ray Shriver. Hell yeah.

Yeah, it is. Album cut. Not single Ray Shriver. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Album cut Ray Shriver. This is album cut. Got it, got it, got it, got it. I don't think it's, and that was my thing but wait a minute now

no i'm fighting this just because why not part of what makes ray strimmer ray strimmer is their ability to have a single yeah so if we're starting at there is no single then something's wrong they make good albums and i also believe that that record I came in here ranting and raving about a few weeks ago was the best single sounding record but compared to their other big singles

No Type, No Flex, you know the ones. Pails in comparison. Agreed. I'm with you. I'm with you 100%. So when I start

this is fire track one. And every track after I haven't heard the whole thing yet. I'm only at like track 11. But every track after from them vocally loses some oomph for me. I'm the opposite. I think that the production is going crazy so far from track one to 11. So to Mike Will. Every one of them.

See, but that tells me you and I were talking, you was like, hey, they're not a priority anymore. Cool. So I like to see what, I like to see what artists and groups lose

when they're not a priority. Priority at the label? Yeah. I don't think they're a label priority. They're clearly not a label priority. Yeah. This album sounds like, to me,

I don't know. See, but even that's, even that's some bullshit because no, I want to know what happened to make Ray Strummer not be a label priority. I was going to ask... Look, I mean, we watched it. What happened? The niggas stopped fucking with each other.

The music suffered because of that. We saw that. They was going separate ways. All right, now they back. Somebody got them back together. So somebody got them back together. So our stocks should still be there. I don't know that.

It's been a while. gotta earn that back yeah big boy and 3k take a picture tomorrow the world is gonna be earth shattering and big boy and 3k got how many classics i know but i'm only speaking about the equity everybody has built everybody's equity is different ray schrimmer i think for how they have produced they made all you niggas freeze in a club. They did. They did. They made all of y'all stupid doofuses freeze like mannequins while I was waiting on a hookah from the hostess. Stupid ass hostess. Get my fucking hookah.

Yo, you know how mad I was during that era? Them little dudes are talented dudes. Together. I believe you know how to shoot a joke if your J is wet then when you're 60 years old your J is gonna be wet

and they still have their production Mike Will's still there so the only place that's really lacking here is big single and label support yeah

I think it's fucked up. There's no way in God's green earth I'd have let them put my album out. Hey, for y'all out there, let me show y'all where I went wrong early in my career. Because whenever Def Jam wanted to put my second album out,

I said, hell the fuck to the no, you're not putting my second album out. I'm not doing it. And that put me not in alignment with them. I say more artists today, now that y'all have a little more leverage and control, should not be in alignment with these release dates. Yeah, but look how that played out for you.

Like they still- Look at me. No, no, no. Look at rappers, y'all. I'm sticking only to rap. Look at how that played out for you as a Def Jam act. It was a tough road for you for a little while. It was a tough road.

That you made it tough. Y'all are right. But I also- Go ahead also go ahead come on finish i got something to say oh to go ahead you believed you could do it on your own even without them a lot of these niggas is like yo i need i gotta play ball by the label okay if y'all not with me here i'll wing you back over i'm glad you said that next sentence because we have two different perceptions of that it's not that I believed I could do it on my own and I did I didn't have a choice but to do it on my own that was because of a decision you made though you put yourself in that boat where you had to now do it on your own I look at it different I think some new niggas came in the building that didn't fuck with me like the nasty niggas that was here so we're putting this

album out on this date no matter what because it's a numbers game. We don't really care about the best interests of Joe Budden. We need a mid-level project to drop on this date so we can meet our quota at the end of the year and you're coming out and Young Guns is coming out and all you niggas that don't have

no traction moving right now are coming out. Bleak. It was a whole little slate. Yeah, nah no i fought that shit fuck out of here but there's always bigger picture in play and joe budden was alone ray schrimmer to my production point about them are not alone mike will is still as powerful as he's ever been he just did a whole miley cyrus record and the alicia record. And he can, he can, he can fart a hit. I believe that. I believe they have

some shit on this album that by the time the summer get here, cause they had shit on, even go back to their first album. Yes, they had the monster singles.

They had album cuts that turned into hits after the album came out that because people were playing the album. That's what, there's slow burns on here. That, hey, the label might label might catch on late oh shit we didn't even know this was i feel what you're saying as far as the album cuts but the difference is when you have you

kind of need the monster single to get to the album cuts for most people that's where i think the equity of the artist comes in like for someone like myself i didn't even know this was dropping i've been i came in here months ago. Where is Ray Schwimmer? Where is Ray Schwimmer? I was screaming that. So soon as I see it, I don't care what's on the album. I'm buying it because I've been waiting for them together to drop a project. I'm a fan.

I rushed to it the same way you did. And been listening to it since. It's a good album. It's a good album. I don't care about the marketing production. I mean the marketing, the promotion side. I care about how this album sounds I love this album and I know it's only gonna get better as this as the temperature I'm with you

I'm just we're talking about from a Commercial standpoint, I guess yeah, but it's kind of saying the same thing though as it spreads It could be a slow burn most fans and listeners to music are sheep though. So that won't really work it could be a slow burn most fans and listeners to music are sheep though so that won't really work this was the album cut i took a check off and this one they wasn't so hot either but you could you can hear when something is good hey i hope they got one of these on this album that's fire yo yo. They fire. They fire.

As fire as they are, unfortunately, I think I have made the tough decision to take them off of my instant purchase list. I instant purchased it. I do not regret it. It's a tough decision.

Oh, no, I'm not basing that off of this album. But something is happening that I don't know about. And until I figure out what it is i gotta take y'all off of i gotta take y'all off but if the music is still good why oh there you go i didn't know that was there oh what do you think the outcome of this is going to be the fact that they're

numbers or what do you mean reception what the numbers will likely be low yeah the numbers are going to be low because there's no there's no promotion behind this yeah we didn't i put the shit up on my um instagram story i just said swim for life that's all i gotta say and people was like wait when is it dropping i put that up yesterday or well uh thursday night people like wait when you heard the album? It's dropping in a couple hours. Nobody knew. I didn't see anything saying, yo, it's coming out at midnight.

Nothing on the gram. I just didn't see it. Yo, what I'm saying to you is I want to start, I want to start, I want people to start understanding a little more the discretion of certain

labels okay if Mike will is there who I believe could fart a hit mm-hmm and y'all haven't done that to the label status of to the label satisfaction so now we just put an album out without much support and without that radio or playlist standout, it signifies to me that something might be wrong. That's all. I follow that. I follow you,

but I also, to me, it signifies we need to get some traction started somehow, some way. So let's put out a good project that the people that really fuck with us will like and talk about it. Like me and ice are right now. And then hopefully they're going to keep the ball rolling and try to get a smash so you

i hope you're right you don't think nothing is wrong the business side maybe so maybe so but in musician world you got to keep it pushing regardless but my my retort to that though is with some of these vibers we have yet to see if y'all have the audience that can talk you back into a spotlight. Facts. Because we used to catching a vibe with you. And if you are not providing said vibe, then we just not vibing. Well, it's playlist artists. Yeah, we're not talking.

And a lot of artists these days, their popularity and success is a result of fitting in on playlists. True. their popularity and success is a result of fitting in on playlists. And if you don't build a core fan base outside of that playlist, you kind of fucked. This is what I seen when I was younger as far as labels. I don't know if it's still going on today, but if you don't follow what they say, right?

Like even now, if you don't follow what they say and things doesn't go how they predicted it to go the next time the next go-around they're not behind you they're gonna they're gonna something yes I'm at something happen they're gonna give you the rope to hang yourself yeah you gotta figure the last album was a triple disc yeah even that was crazy like if it was a group album plus two solo album how long ago is it three four years ago if they. That's a long time. If they wanted them to stay together,

you know sometimes niggas get money, I don't gotta. Yeah. You didn't follow nothing that the label said, the next time you, when shit starts slowing down,

niggas start to go revisit the blueprint. So it's like, sometimes they don't back you no more. This is the most Ray Strummer conversation y'all will ever get

from anybody. This is 2018, it was five years ago. I have another question though though, real quick. Who can drop a project and it does good without promotion? Only the super-est of duper-stars. The top of the list. Beyonce, Drake.

J. Cole. Nobody that's not in their stratosphere can drop a project and it surprisingly does good. Well, it depends on your definition of good. I have Jeezy on that list. Jee of good. I have Jeezy on that list. Jeezy? I definitely have Jeezy on that list. I don't.

There was a few projects where it didn't do it. I don't have him on that list anymore. He's done it too many times. When he dropped Get Right. And it also depends on what your goals are and what kind of lane you are as an artist. Because if you're someone that has a core fan base that is going to go to your shit no matter what.

I don't think Jeezy has ever sold less than $40,000 first week. You kind of have to credit that. But Joe, these days, Joe, what is good sound scan numbers? That's the other thing. It's relative to who you are, where your buzz is, your traction, your support, how you're doing it, and who you're doing it with. So $40,000 is good? I never knew $40,000.

Somebody that could roll out of bed and get 20 points is called a walking bucket. Okay. Got it. Somebody that could roll out of bed and move 40,000 units has established a cult fan base that no matter what's going on in the environment or the landscape,

my people are going to get this album. Me and Ice have bet on Jeezy before. I have counted Jeezy out on a bunch of albums and that number never comes in. Shout out to Jeezy before. I have counted Jeezy out on a bunch of albums, and that number never comes in. Shout out to Jeezy. Less than 40,000 week one. But what I'm saying, back in the days, early 2000s.

No single. And now shit is- No support. No producer. It depends on- The confusion part is that, look, now shit is digital. It should be more easy to get sales. Back in the days, niggas was coming, $300,000 in the first.

No, because now sales are determined by amount of streams. You need a lot of streams. You need 1,500 streams or something bullshit. I didn't know that. Whatever the sliding scale is. I didn't know that. That's what I'm saying. I didn't know that.

So basically, to sell 40,000 units, you probably actually need to have people listen to it, I don't even know, a million times, something stupid. Really? it i don't even know a million times something stupid like i saw a report that said oh on spot that spotify has pardon me that has 36 million songs or something like that that don't have one listen damn sheesh i would like to ask not only what y'all think about that but do y'all think that's possible it's crazy you don't even go listen to your own shit. Not one listen? That doesn't sound possible at all. You ain't got no homies with you? Nobody just go...

You should at least go put it in a shit fountain and play it yourself. But then again, you might be listening somewhere else. Anybody don't have Spotify, y'all? I miss her. But still. 36 million songs with not one listen?

One listen is weird. Statistically, that doesn't sound... It's strange and it sounds impossible. It sounds nearly... It don't even sound possible. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

So if that's happening, it must be from someone that has no social media whatsoever. It's from somebody that's figured out a way to be paid just by uploading a song. Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Only. Only.

Or somebody that middle-manned it. Like, I can get you music. Same thing. Yeah. Yeah. This is like when you used to give the radio dudes a brown bag. Oh, shit. Allegedly, a brown bag on the side for them to work your record.

And then they come back with all of these spins they got you in like a T market or an SZ market. Like towns you never even heard of. They tell me, hey, you got 400 spins over here. How would you know? Right. You'll never be there to see. You're not going there to do a show. This is somebody just uploading a song.

Fudging the numbers. But they're not even fudging the numbers. But they're not even fudging the numbers which is the weird part. Yeah, which tends to me that they figured out a way to be paid just by the upload.

Well, it's not very expensive to upload so I don't know if I agree with you on that. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. Because if I don't know

how to upload at all, I don't know what the fuck it costs. You pay for somebody else to do it. And I could do a deal. Sometimes people offer me deals where I am to do three to four shows

that are TBD, to be determined. We don't have to have a name here, a script here, just a show to come in the future. Somebody could be selling off just- Uploads? Yes, selling off the ability to get you playlisted or to get you- Somebody might have a situation here.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of people doing that. That's nasty shit, though. It would have to be a lot, if I'm subscribing to this, for it to be 36 million songs that not one person has heard. That just don't make sense. I know a lot in the music business don't make sense. But that one should have everybody scratching their heads saying, hmm. I think I read somewhere recently that there's like a couple hundred thousand songs uploaded per day. That's what I'm saying.

That's not that crazy. It's not that crazy that there's something that gets zero plays. That does sound crazy. It's still crazy. No, no, no. It's the craziest of crazies. I don't want to reduce it. You make music as an independent contractor.

I do. You have been at a point where you would call a cousin and say, hey, check this out. Yeah. A family member. Yeah. A family friend. Right. Your son.

Anybody would hear this song. You call somebody and say, yo, go check my shit out. It's on DSP. They go listen to it on Apple. You don't listen to your own record? That's what I'm saying. Everybody's not running to Spotify. But even when you upload.

There's other avenues where I could still stream your project or your song, not Apple. I mean, not Spotify. That's all. You're the same guy that sat here and, or maybe not here, but you championed when Chris Brown put out the rules on his Instagram for what his fans should do to help his album get credited to where it was supposed to. Correct. Because that's what we need more of, fans.

I mean, artists instructing their fans of how to really be helpful, because all of this shit is smoke and mirrors. Correct. So in that instance you just named, if I'm uploading my song to Spotify, because Spotify has other incentives that they offer just for unknown acts

to upload. Okay. See, I didn't know that. And I call my cousin. I'm going to tell him to listen on Spotify. Yeah. You added that.

I didn't know that. Honestly, that just makes me kind of sad. Like, there's a lot of, like, sad, lonely musicians that are just sitting at home making some shit and putting it up there.

It makes me really sad. But you can listen to your own record. That wouldn't count? They might not makes me really sad. But you can listen to your own record. That wouldn't count? They might got title. I'm listening to their own podcast. That wouldn't count if you listen to your own shit? Yeah, it would.

But maybe they got title. Oh, dog. Stop. Shut it up. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. Back in the days, you get to have the automatic refresher

and keep refreshing. They stopped all that? No, it's so extreme. Are you crazy? OK, I'm just saying. I knew all the tricks back in the days to get the automatic refresher and keep refreshing. They stopped all that? No, it's so stream farming crazy. Okay, I'm just saying. I knew all the tricks back in the days to get the numbers up. They had a refresher program. You can refresh it or let the shit play and let the shit play. Niggas don't do that these days, huh?

Unless Spotify have some automatic bot resistor. I can't see how that's possible. Zero plays is nuts and sad. What else we got in music? Listen, Daniel Caesar came out. I know that y'all effectively canceled him or he canceled himself. He did. He did.

He did a real good job of it. He did that. Yeah, but slow down. We have to review some of these things now. We need to cancel review. Yeah, we need to cancel review uh uh yeah we need to cancel review board yeah because my instagram algorithm has shown me uh yes jewels in the past few months and i see a lot of my black friends still under there liking that white ass

oh my god it's still a little meat over there. Some bathing suit pics. And some of my black brothers were double tapping that white ass. But we'll stream Daniel Caesar. So if you're going to still like and cape, well, like that white ass, then you can't cancel Daniel Caesar for caping over that white ass.

So would you like to play a Daniel Caesar song? No. Okay. I don't know who Daniel Caesar is. He's an R&B singer. I'm not playing it because I've already heard all of the preview tracks and Daniel Caesar's fire. I say all of this to say, huh?

Well, if we're going to be the council. I bought it. But why did he get canceled? Wait, you play it. He got canceled because. I know it's some heat on it. Thank you, boss. There was a couple different things.

He sat with Yes Jules. He was gaping for Yes Jules when she was... But he also went further on Twitter or something like that. I forgot what it was. He spoke disparagingly about black women, basically. No, but there was also some shit. No, don't do that. Don't do that.

Don't rush to do that. There was some other shit. Find what he said then if you want to say that. There was also some other shit during the don't do that. Don't do that. Don't rush to do that. There was some other shit. Find what he said then if you want to say that. There was also some other shit during the 2019, 2020 civil uprisings with the police murders and all that shit where he more or less told black people to pick their shit up by the bootstraps type of vibe. Something along those lines. And who canceled him?

People that listen to his music. His last album didn't sell the greatest. Then he went and got low for a little bit and now he's back. But I mean... All right. Daniel Caesar slammed for saying black people are too sensitive

after seemingly defending Yes Jewel. So we're going to get it all in one fell swoop, okay? That is not speaking disparagingly about black women. Okay, so, okay. No, there was other comments. Get to it, man.

Okay. Grammy winner Daniel Caesar came under fire after suggesting black people are being too sensitive I think that No There was other There was other comments Get to it Okay Grammy winner Daniel Caesar Came under fire After suggesting Black people are being Too sensitive During a lengthy rant

Hip hop media mavens Scotty Beam And Karen Civil on the Easily Offended Podcast earlier this month Jules has been at the epicenter of racial discrepancies In the past, particularly involving her appropriation of black culture and dismissiveness of black women. That's what it is. Sorry. Let me rephrase. In caping for yes, Jules, it basically means that, you know,

everybody's perception was basically that, what are you doing? All right, so, look, finish your shit. I'm just talking to the camera. Okay. By caping talking to the camera. Okay. By caping for Yes Jewels, that was basically co-signing everything that she had to say about black women, and so...

I blame you cool niggas with a dick. Let's talk about it. You fuck these white girls, you longing them. She most significantly sparked fires during a 2017 incident

in which she tweeted a photo of a T-shirt she wanted to wear that read niggas lie a lot. That's hate. Daniel, I promise you I was trying to talk

Tell your white girlfriend, your white shorty, she can't say nigga around you. Check them. Tell your white friends they're not cool enough to say nigga around you. Niggas don't give a fuck about that.

We can say it. We appropriate the word. I don't like to not stand on it. Ooh, look what we get. They get the tax breaks. Fuck you talking about? I'm on the wrong side of the fight.

Must be a new outfit because there's like fluff. Fluff what? You got jokes on me? No, I'm not talking. You let your white friend say nigga? I'm not talking to you.

No, no, no. Play some vibes. Okay, here we go. Let's see what we got. This is called Unstoppable. Now, are you playing something that you know is heat, or are you just playing a random song? It's his new music by Daniel Caesar. So you have never heard this song?

So you don't know if it's heat. You might be playing the worst song on his album. This is quite possibly. It's quite possibly going to be shit, or maybe it's going to be fire. Oh, you're a hater. We don't know. We don't know. No, no.

Put the drum in for a couple bars and take it out, man. Sounds different here. Look, Mel wanted to hate so bad. No. You should screen the song to hate so bad. No.

I had to screen them shit. Don't play no heat. If you want to hate on them. I'm not hating on Daniel Caesar. Your support was hate. Your support was hate. I was not. Your support was hate.

Segway, segway, segway, segway. No. Yo, keep that supportive hate away from me, yo. I'm taking the headphones off for this one. Keep the supportive hate, yo. We couldn't wait for it. Wait, we getting into it now? We getting into it.

You brought us here. You may as well. Look, look. When he start throwing it up, that's it. This hurts me. This hurts me. Get this shit off of me. Some news came to me.

I don't know what was said. You know what I mean? I'm coming right back. Nah, nah, nah. Don't leave. Don't go nowhere. Don't leave. Don't come right back.

Please. Don't leave. I've been waiting. Listen, can somebody help? He just needs to fill his cup. Go ahead. Because this was told to me behind the scenes. Okay.

We should all do that. We should all say what we heard from different sources. Yeah, pre-production, behind the scenes. What you heard? They said that a nice guy that's been supporting me on this pod and improper improv, Elliot Wilson. Oh, shit. Game on the bullet.

Yeah, yeah, I put it on it. And I don't know what was said. Can somebody inform me so I can go in properly? Elliot has been. Don't dance when that's my man. I don't dance. That's my man. Why is it my man?

Hold on, hold on. No, no, no. It's not all our man. I got the bazooka right now. What did Elliot say at my man? He said nothing about your man. What'd he say? Hurry up.

Put the bazooka down. Now. So what he did was he's been. This is more of a submarine thing too You need like a torpedo You need a torpedo Let me talk to you Flip I'm going to tell you what happened I'm going to tell you what happened

So you know the list came out We are so immature He was at I think eight or something I forget the number But what he did was He started running off his accolades Just to say like Oh yeah

My young boy interview did what, two million? He put that up. This interview, he's just running off accolades. I interviewed both Hove and the boy.

Yeah, stuff like that. Just saying, but you got me here, but let me just remind y'all what I did. And he's a legend. And he can do that.

But it wasn't that right hate towards y'all. No, it's not directed towards him. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine it's not directed towards him. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate.

Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submarine hate. Submar though not directed at number one it's sub hate it's sub hate can we really but did he hate on the on improper improv no he didn't hate on the show he said it had supported me mad long all

decades so i mean take this with a grain of did he say where he feels like he should have been man you know not because then he put up the clip of me on the podcast last part talking about i'm number one i put my thumb on Charlamagne's face. He put up a clip of me talking greasy as he was talking about his accolades. And that's what makes it look like a little hate. It's a little blurriness. It's support hate. You're from the Caribbean, Mel, and they say that you find something that you go look for.

Right? What's the saying? Like looking for it? You're going to find something if you're looking for it. Be careful what you go looking for because you're going to find it. Exactly. So do you think that, Joe, that not you but the people around you look for the hate for you? He was talking cat shit on the pod, so I mean.

The hate is going to come anyway. But it's my man. He can say whatever he wants because he's number one. And he knew he was number one for a while. I told you. I called the nigga. He was up there smiling and shit. I want to be clear, too.

If Elliot or Charlamagne or any of the people, Envy, any of these people would have been number one, they would have been talking cash shit, too. Unfortunately, there's only one number one, and only that person is going to be talking cash shit. Everybody else has to respond to it and react to it. I got it. That's it. I got it. But to answer your question, me personally, I don't go looking for the Joe hate because I don't want to see it. I don't really give a fuck.

It's a lot of Joe hate. I catch hate just for being next to Joe. So does the support be hated? I have to see it, because you know how, like, they say God sees all? Here, here, here, here. Like, I can't miss it. Here, here. No, no, no.

I ain't going to miss it. I'm going to talk my shit. I'm going to talk my shit if I sit over there. And I'm not here to do that. I'm not here to do that. No, I'm not going to do it. Come on now. It's the weekend.

It's the weekend. Mel, God sees all, even Canadian gods. Damn. God sees all. I think actually that we're closer to God. Yo, so Elliot was doing his covert hate. El, I know you're listening out there. I love you, my man.

A little covert hate. Doggy Diamond says some shit. It's my man. A little covert hate. Doggy Diamond says some shit. It's my man. It's my man. What'd he say? He says, Jack, check it out. I ain't gonna promo the hate. I ain't gonna promo the hate. And that's why people hate. Just so niggas can be like,

nobody said. Why don't you support hate back? Nah, nah, nah. Nah, fuck that. My man, Tax started hating from jail. Aw, shit. What'd Tax say? Nah, let, nah. Fuck that. My man, Tax started hating from jail. Oh, shit. What did Tax say? Nah, let me read the Tax quote. Oh, my God.

Let me read the Tax quote. You can find the other one. Where'd it go? Nah, niggas been getting their hate off on me. You screenshotted the hate? Oh, I always keep the foul.

You got a folder in your phone that just says hate? Shout out to a lot of lugs. We kept the fouls. That was a lot of lugs. We kept the files. That was legendary. Oh, my God. Legendary. And when it's the hate, they put my name right in the caption of the.

Of course. Such and such says this about Joe Budden. Light skin Joe Budden with the beard. You know. Podcaster. Podcast Joe Budden. Used to rap. Let's see.

Text. Complex ass text Where are you with Joe Budden? Always a good question to ask What have you thought about his rise And Leaving And he said

I think Finally figured out that Joe was a master manipulator They were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome And and Joe manipulates everybody around him. Even the dudes sitting with him now are being manipulated. But you gotta understand, some people are alright with manipulation, as long as they get something out of it. So I think them dudes know that. But I think they're just cool with the situation. Sometimes people don't got nothing going on in their life.

They need to be a part of something i'm not one of those people i always tell people if everybody jump on that ship it's gonna sink so i'm always the person that's like i'm gonna stay with the land when y'all get over there y'all write me and tell me what happened i don't jump on ships i'm like a home ranger i'm not the person that's trying to be cool with artists so I can try and get an interview. If I genuinely like you, all right, all right, all right, enough. From Jan. That's what he said. That's what he said.

Yo, Tax, hold up. That's what he said. I spend way more time on other shit than I do on this podcast. Tax, so Tax, Tax. So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Before I came on this shit, man, I had a lot of shit going on, man. Slow down, number one. Number two, we say free you all the time, so I'm going to be mindful of what I'm saying,

but you out of line. You my man. Before, you got locked up using the car with me. That's out of line, homie. Saying that and throwing subs to niggas that's up here that put a lot of work in. Joe is not manipulating nobody up here. Well, not me.

And niggas ask, oh, let me talk my shit. Don't stop me. Niggas ask me this question all the time. I was just asked this yesterday at Chef Simpson's from a friend. Like, that's cool with the two names he said. How do you feel about Joe? Do you feel like, do you trust him? I said, yeah, I trust him.

Do you trust him personally or in business? And I had to think. I said, personally, I trust him. But let me say business. I said, yeah, I trust him in business. Because he did nothing but right to me. And on top of that, he has to be a fool if he did wrong to anybody else to

continue to do wrong. What is he, the R. Kelly of podcasts? Huh? Stop playing with my man. They run a tight ship up here and good business. And a lot of times, niggas don't want to acknowledge that there's other niggas that's just happy with what we got. Period. And anywhere I go, I'm going to take advantage

to the full extent to get where I need to go. This nigga know I got a plan and he's fine with it because that's my man. Niggas cannot judge nothing. The ship's still running. Shout out to G-Money. We here.

We still moving. You my man, Tax. Chill out with those type of comments, man. I hate when people say, and this ain't even on his comments. Get your shit off

while it's your hand. Come on, let's do it. I just see it a lot when people be like, oh, you know, you ran up on the jump. Fam, my friend called me. I was home minding my business. Dog, I need your help.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I tell the story of how I ended up here. No manipulation in that. There was no manipulation. Actually, it was manipulation because I didn't even know what I was coming to do. Well, that was just tact. Yeah, I know.

That was just tact. But yeah, it was like, yo, dogs, I need, my shit is Well, that was just tact. Yeah, I know. I know. That was just tact. But yeah, it was like, yo, dogs, I need, my shit is over here and kind of fucked up. I need your help. Say no more. We didn't talk about no money

and it ain't about that. When my friends call me and need me, ain't nothing to talk about. My music career is doing very well. Listen, to whom, outside of the podcast,

to whom it may, I was straight. To whom it may concern out there because number one can't go back and forth with people like let's just start there so i can't do like and i don't want to give anybody's name any added uh value and equity so to whom it may concern out there a big part of this thing is being free. A big part of this is staying away from some of those spots where it might get a little thick at. A big part of this is knowing when and when not to be home and away from shit. A big part of this is getting out of your own way

because as humans, we come with shortcomings and deficiencies and you want to hide your weaknesses and expose your strong suits. That's very important in podcasting game. Take that from numero uno, number one. That's not even on page one. And that's my problem with niggas.

They get to talk about podcasting. Y'all don't even be talking about shit. That's on page one of the pamphlet or on the back of the book in the paragraph. Y'all not even in the bookstore yet. You can't beat. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. You have to get out of your own way. You have to constantly reinvent and you have to be available for the miracle.

You have to be available for the miracle or else niggas would just be calling and mailing and you talking from jail. That was, that was, that's a little, that's a little cold, but it's not cold. It is.

Niggas have called me too many times to use my platform to help with a case, a cause, or something that they're passionate about. And I do that. Because all I do is constantly show up for people. But if these are your thoughts, if we're in the sharing thoughts mode, ain't nobody got to call my phone for me to share a thought. I don't have to do no interview to share thought I told y'all I'm standing in truths that's my sub to whoever it applies to this nigga brought different people together he brought here's my other sub I'm now we just randomly subbing hey to whom it may concern

build their company as you build yourself. Who is that? No point in talking about all of these amazing historic moments that you have if you cannot use them to capitalize for yourself. Do it yourself. I'm not saying nothing I ain't told you to your face because I don't talk behind people's backs, but it's way too much check chasing going on in podcasting land. And then you niggas got the nerve to open your mouth and say something to a nigga like me who do it for the sport and the art of it. Do it for the sport and the art of it. Everybody got to relax out here.

Very pivotal decisions be made when you get to certain intersections. Some of y'all choose to take a check. Y'all got mouths to feed. Y'all have wives and girlfriends and mortgages. Y'all got shit you have to pay. It get risky when you out here in independent contractor land. Talk to him. You contracted workers have to really watch how you speak about

the independent contractors that get it how they live it. Nothing wrong with building them. Lord knows I've done it for a bunch of companies. But build yourself at the same time. So when the day comes that y'all butt heads,

because that day is inevitable, you'll have something to fall back on. And you won't just be looking to take the next check from somewhere. To whom this may concern, this is not even on page one of the manual, because you niggas ain't in the bookstore. Instead of critiquing people's placement on this list. We need more critiquing on why you're not on it.

To everyone not on it. Shut the fuck up. There's some steps that you niggas have missed to whom it may concern stop holding the microphone like if I'm just giving out podcast advice

it's certain niggas y'all can't speak to me y'all didn't do the work yet you didn't go in the bookstore. Hire the editors. Get people to help invest in the staff, pay the staff, get more staff. Stop check chasing. Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You niggas are a bare minimum boys. You niggas get that bag, put it in your pocket and do the bare minimum.

I don't want to hear none of you niggas talk about nobody in here. Hey, to whom it may concern because niggas here get to work. All niggas do is get to work. It ain't even nothing to be mad at. We just stating facts right now. She didn't move across country. This nigga ain't slept in months. I ain't something different.

I won't put this business out there. In parks, I won't put this business out there And Parks I won't put his business out there either But the point is niggas come in here And head down to the finish line To work There's nothing else to talk about To whom it may concern That show ain't been impactful in years

And that rotating seat garbage ain't getting it done If you haven't noticed by now Y'all your company over there has shifted their attention to the advertising dollars that they could get in podcasting it's not about radio they're breaking all that shit up over there and we're getting podcast advertising dollars which says it don't matter how powerful that one show was at some point if the company's going in a a different direction, niggas going to look like y'all going in a different direction, which is why this is expendable. And you and your co-host don't have to sit there and pretend to like each other for months and months and months. Know when y'all did that? When you was number one. That's when you got to come to work and pretend.

If it's expendable, anybody could be honest. To whom it may concern, Anybody can be honest To whom it may concern Cause I don't sub As great as y'all But your man Can't fuck with me On my worst day Y'all niggas

Gotta stop Just putting I work too hard I ain't playing With these niggas What the fuck Is wrong with these niggas Don't tell me

About all the money That you niggas made You niggas ain't bought A new shirt in seven years A new t-shirt even Y'as ain't bought a new shirt in seven years. A new t-shirt even. Y'all ain't bought a new Hanes pack of white t-shirts. Don't talk about me over here. By this point, you should just be getting settled in with managing that first bank account that you have.

Leave. Hey, to whom it may concern. To whom it may concern. I ain't talking to nobody. I ain't talking to nobody. No, no, no. This might need to be the episode title.

To whom it may concern. I'm just saying. To whom it may concern is the episode title. Y'all let all that other shit go, though, real quick. Like, the fat boys broke up before, too.

Like, stop. That niggas is holding on to too much shit, trying to bring new niggas is here. This woman moved halfway across country. All the way across country. Across the country. All the way, all the way. This man works extremely hard.

This man works hard. Everybody up here works hard. This is a tight ran shit, regardless of what it is. It's not what it was before. No disrespect to my man's basement or wherever it was that it's not there It was magic and he puts a lot of work in so what I'm saying is that people break up Yeah, I try to always hold the string. It's like it's not yo-yo cut the fucking string let niggas either Let niggas either succeed or drown. Hold on.

Go ahead. Get this shit off, man. Hold on, man. Gunshots, too, man. If that's the case. Now gunshots. What it is is you people out there, you people don't allow others to grow. You people put the stigmatism on others while they're trying to grow.

Let them niggas grow. Let people grow. Confusion is the way of the world. But over here, we don't deal in confusion. At all. Pre-production, we let everything out. This is what I have a problem with. What you feel? All right, I feel this way. Yo, man, how you feel? I don't deal in confusion. At all. Pre-production, we let everything out. This is what I have a problem with. What you feel?

All right, I feel this way. Yo, Mel, how you feel? I don't like this. All right, we good. We know how we move in next episode. We not sitting down. Y'all niggas is trying to fucking live your life within drama. It's a shout out to the list.

I'm worried about how I'm going to get on there next year or the year after. I shout out Star. Nigga, that's my man, the mentor. That's what I care about. And I'm proud of my man. I'm not thinking about there next year or the year after. I shot it on Star, nigga. That's my man, the mentor. That's what I care about. And I'm proud of my man. I'm not thinking about none of these niggas. I don't know none of you niggas.

I'm a billion views in by myself, a million dollars, by myself over fucking setting myself on fire and driving a car and pretending to be an Uber driver, nigga. Niggas ain't fucking with Flip, nigga. I've been doing this, and I'ma still do it. And nothing stops me. Y'all can't convince me to go against my man and try to make a scene like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

No, I get paid because my man. Let me keep it real. Oh, shit. All right. Let me keep it real. I'm not done. We got it all. We got it all.

We got shit all. All right, go ahead. It's in here. Go ahead. They would piss them off. Dealing with the government is hard, right? When they take a lot of money out your account while you're building something,

or building a home, and you can't provide for your family. So now you look at your account and your money is gone because you spent recklessly. But what makes a nigga honorable is when a nigga is able to put a monthly check in your account to show where money's coming from so you can fix your shit, nigga. I'd never go against this nigga, nigga. You hear me? And he pisses me the fuck off.

But what he did is bigger for my family. And you niggas can't tell me nothing because a lot of times when I was doing those skits and cooning and clowning, that's the box you put me in. But I'm a nigga that bought the box company that created the box. You niggas ain't fucking with me. Shalhoub, and I fuck with a lot of you niggas in real life. Queens. Now turn the mic up.

Turn that mic up. Turn that shit up. Fuck. Turn up low. Nah, I'm glad you brought up that basement, though. That basement is historical, and it must be mentioned when you talk about 616 episodes. Even other crib. Yeah. Both of them.

Both of them. Both of them. But I'm just saying that when you start some business owners out there, entrepreneurs out there, right, when you're looking, when you're taking two wires together and looking for a spark, and then you find that spark with the two wires, it's very important to take that money and invest it back into whatever you're trying to do or whatever your longterm goals are. And the truth of the matter in podcasting is,

it's just, and in businesses out there, it's just not enough people doing that. It's too many people just looking to take, take, take, take and pocket, pocket,

pocket. Like that's not how you succeed. So I'm, I'm so proud of the start from the basement to the second basement to the third connecting basement. Hey, let's knock a wall down and combine basements to here. Like, it's a testament to how hard everybody in here goes, works, thinks about the gig, executes the gig,

shows up on time for the gig. Like, it's niggas out there that be talking about me. Y'all niggas don't show up on time. Like, I don't feel like niggas can speak to me if you ain't got, like, some of the bare basics,

bare minimum things together. Like, not being tardy. Y'all get the fuck out of here, man. Stop playing with me. We don't do this enough, but let me shout out Parks for being loyal and fucking taking the whole train ride

to the finish line, man. Shout out to my man, Parks, man. Thank you, sir. We don't do that. We don't do that, bro. Salute to you, Parks. I work, man. You know the wild part?

The fans who don't know shit from shit, shit it on him for that. Facts. It's crazy. Hey Hey to whom it may concern Sit up Yo Why the fuck These niggas talking about me

It's basic things That need to go on Before I need to be addressed By any of you niggas And now Let me play a little jingle Yeah Did I get better with the subs You did Yeah Yeah JVP And now. Let me play a little jingle. Yeah.

Did I get better with the subs? You did. Yeah. J-B-P, J-B-P, where would you be without the J-B-P? Blue. All right. All right. Yeah.

All right, real quick, before we leave music, I want to make a note that uh reports say chloe bailey allegedly sold 10 000 copies reportedly sold 10 000 copies week one yikes damn that's bad that's not good that's bad um what do you think the problem is? I don't know too many of the Nickelodeon artists that made it. Shit. Huh? What? What's that girl's name? If you're about to Justin Timberlake me and Britney Spears me,

then that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about them. It's iCarly, girl. Olivia Rodrigo was a Disney girl. She sold a bazillion copies. Yeah. Usually they get a little push. Yeah.

What else you got? What's the other? I think there's way more of them kids that have put out music and ran away from it instantly than those that stayed and sustained success. I think her problem is. Selena Gomez was a Disney girl. Selena Gomez, yes. What do you mean?

She sold, what? I'm not talking about selling something. I'm just talking about they're going to take all the popular kids from those bases and serve them a song and sometimes it works. A lot of times it don't, is all. And I think that there's no difference with Chloe Bailey. There's clearly

some music people around her. But she's had success. It's a good album. She's had success in a group with her sister. I think the problem is... There's no... That show where she was getting fucked in? No, I'm talking about...

That should have added to the promotion. See, but I think that takes away... I think it takes away. I think that's the problem. She's trying to get looked at in a different light as something she's not correct what do you think that is she's trying to be looked at as somebody that's trying to get fucked i'm taking that from flipped as a is that what you're that's what you're alluding that's kind of what i'm saying um the music the music that her and her sister made

together was very clean. And wholesome. Wholesome. And that worked. They were little Beyonce's, you know, that type of shit. Right. Image. And it seems like

Chloe's trying to branch out on her own. She wants to distance herself from that image as much as possible. And she's putting out a hyper-sexualized kind of... Not even just...

Take it off the album. The picture she's putting. Yeah, the brand. The whole brand. Her whole brand is trying to show I am sexy. And it's been a lot of... Not even just... Take it off the album. The picture she did. The brand. The whole brand. Her whole brand is trying to show I am sexy. It's been a lot of critique about that where it's coming off

as forced. It looks forced when she does it. People are not buying it. So, you know, I was in the nail salon one time in LA and she was sitting across from me. And... Oh. What?

I forgot who you was. Oh, no, it was in L.A. What? I forgot. Oh, my God. We just forgot who you were. No, don't take me. No, no, no, we didn't forget.

I know who that is. No, it was just, it was fucking, I won't even say the name because she probably goes there a lot and I don't want to put that on front street. But it's a nail salon that a lot of the girls go to. It's real chill, real relaxed, not pretentious and stuff like that. And when I saw her in person, she reminded me a lot of myself.

Like younger me, you know, physically, you know, she's very, very slim up top. She is bodacious down below. And what she's, what she's. Did you just say bodacious? She did. She got a bodacious. Shut the fuck up. That was bodacious of her to say bodacious.

Is it a bad word? No. It's a funny word. You got it. You are just. Mel, can you go ahead, Mel? Go ahead. You're just Canadian.

She always want to find out what we mean and shit. That was like a 90s slang. Yeah. Bodacious. We're a cowabunga. Can y'all leave my co-host alone so she can finish her story? My bad And I just

I just remember Struggling at that time of my life With who I felt like I was And who the world is telling me that I was You know what I mean And she's just She's so young And she's so beautiful

And she's so easy on the eyes and she's so desirable that it's, I get why she puts out conflicting kind of energy. You know what I mean? And why people are like, oh, she's trying to do something and it's too forced. That's your opinion of what it is. She's still young and she's still kind of examining who she is. You know what I mean? She's still finding her identity? I think so.

And I think that this is actually an authentic part of it. You know what I mean? I believe that. I'm just saying the critique. Wait. Wait. Wait. You can take the steps to discover yourself and try to find out who you are in the process.

I'm going to be a fucking ignoramus for a little bit. Wait. What the fuck did she just say? You don't think that's possible? Say it again. Say it again. What is this crock of shit? What part of it is a crock of shit?

The her and Gunna experiment was genuine to her experiment and her process? No, I'm not even talking about him. I'm talking about- Okay, but I have four more of instances like those. That's label shit. I'm not. I'm not even talking about him. I'm talking about... Okay, but I have four more of instances like those. That's label shit. I'm not talking about that. But that's important when you're talking about discovery of yourself. Because what y'all talking about is my same, not to beat a dead horse, my logic issue.

There are a lot of artists out here who just not only aren't comfortable with who they are, either don't know who they are or are portraying something that they aren't so yeah this is true to her experience i'm with you there on all that woman power shit but when you have people around you that are taking you off course and derailing that and we know that because she don't look comfortable doing it right she looks extremely looks extremely uncomfortable. She's- On this album, anytime she say, fucking me hard,

or something like that, she ISOs it out. The beat drops. It don't sound, it sound like there's too much of a concentrated effort by somebody on that team to present this.

She's not growing into the part. You know how something- Yeah, she is, because she look great. No, but I mean, I'm talking about like, publicly. Like part You know how some people Yeah she is Cause she look great No but I mean I'm talking about like Publicly Like you know how some

You see the transition Of people Like She doing it too fast Exactly We in the microwave Instant gratification era And listen

She's not exempt Usher had to do this Justin Bieber had to do this Justin Timberlake had to do this All of the kids Bow wow Bow wow All of the kids. Bow Wow. Bow Wow. All of the child stars had to do this.

So, I mean, it's no different. She's just trying to do it. She's just trying to expedite it. It's happening fast. And so they go through a certain amount of growing pains with this sort of thing. And they have to do that in front of a massive audience, in front of the world. And the world is judging their every move half the world is saying yeah sex it up i love it you know keep it keep it going the other half of the world is

saying you know fucking cover yourself up and put on your church clothes and don't you remember i like when you were holding i don't see i don't really see that i don't see people telling her to dress it up cover yourself up i don't see i that's funny because i see that all the time what i usually see is people saying that this just don't look like you not saying you gotta do that it just seemed like you don't really want to do this but who is she she might not even know like in time in its entirety who she is because she is in the process of self-discovery. So she's trying shit on, seeing what fits, what doesn't she discards, what she likes she keeps. And she has to do this in front of the world.

Yo, wait, stop right there, because you keep saying that. I don't think she has to do that in front of the world. Why? Because... Why does she have to do anything in front of anybody? You said, try on if I like this, I keep it if I don't, I don't. That's this new age social toxicity shit that's happening where kids feel like they do have to do everything.

Cry, eat, bathe. Because they want a piece to the crowd. View babies. The view babies. That's my line. Don't talk about my line. Good one. But think about it.

View babies. But think about what do they have as an example of anything other than that? We have the example. have as an example of anything other than that we have the example we know what it was like to have landlines where you and and fucking physical you know uh rotary phones and answering machines where you had to wait for a motherfucker to call you and be home anticipation you know what i mean let me get some let me get some of my bitterness out okay go ahead in our day artists had to put an album out every year or bi-yearly you had to period it was five six album uh deals being done and you had to do that today that ain't a mandate no it's not there are plenty of artists out there that are making their music

hitting upload and then going to chill or do what the fuck they want to do. There are a lot of other artists that are being forced into situations that they're not so comfortable with. Like, we had this talk when it came to Summer Walker touring, and she was uncomfortable. She was standing in one spot. She was on the couch. She was on the internet saying shit. It was like, yo, dog, there are artists out there that are just forced to be in a position where they're not being themselves.

But you don't have to do that. They said Scissors New York shows were times 80 or 100 the last time she was in New York. And in my head, I'm thinking, well, yeah, that album was over five years ago. You had time to let your audience grow, build. You was behind the scenes. You got your body done. You did everything. So yeah, you expect to see the turnout

when you pop back up five years later. It's only these view babies that feel like they have to shove every aspect of everything down our fucking throats. Pause. I didn't need to see her and Gunna at no fucking Laker game. I didn't need to see her and Gunna here.

That was a whole five, six, seven month long run of trying to beat something into the fan base's head. Public perception. But don't you think that that goes to your point of what the pressure, what like the outside pressure, like label pressure or whatever, like her team's pressure makes her feel like she has to do? I don't think that's a team thing. Dog, if you're going through all that, and we can stop talking about her because maybe it's dragging, but there's not one song on her album about that.

Because you're getting none of these songs. I like them because music people are picking good songs from good people. But none of those songs are true to you. You went somewhere, heard a reference, purchased it, and now that song

is on your album. What artist actually their first time out puts out their authentic feelings on records? Many of them. That's usually the best album.

Many of them. No, no, I'm not saying they're best. But I'm just saying that's your most true to self. I know. Joe says for a long time

you've been, what'd you say? You had your whole life to make your debut. Let to self. I know. Joe says for a long time, you've been... You had your whole life to make your debut. Let me give an old example. Pink. She came out as a fucking R&B songstress

and that was the most ill-fitting suit. Everybody could see it. It just did not work. And then she comes out with her, you know, her pink shit, you know, like the rocker chick shit.

And that was authentic to pink, and she was through the stratosphere and stayed there. It happens that way sometimes too, but more often than not, the first album from the artist. Usually the artist and the, usually the label and, you know, whoever your team are, they create this idea of who they want the public to believe you to be.

And you go along with it when you're super, super young because you don't know any better and then the longer that it starts to feel out of sync with who you really actually are then you start to buck against the system and you start to say look this music isn't even fucking me I want to do this I want to say this I want to you know communicate this through my lyrics and that's when we get the authentic shit from the artist let me ask you a question again this is not her first dabble into music i know so it could be well wait it's just i'm talking but you're talking about her identity wrapped up in that of her sisters real quick it could be she's been making all that clean music and saying i want to do this

so go get me these records i want to this is who i to be. I don't want to be that no more. It could be her involvement in this or her directiveness. Say, yo, I'm tired of them looking at me like this. I'm grown and I want to be taken seriously and I want to be looked at this way. And it's just not clicking, though. And also watching your peers. Yeah. Watching the people that they compare you to or watching your peers come up and how they're viewed and you may think you're better.

It's a lot of self-doubt. Comparison, self-comparison, too. Last thoughts. I mean, like, they compare to Beyonce all the time. No, that's it. That's it. All right. Everybody meet up.

Enough of y'all. Y'all will not close some shit. I'm sorry. Damn it. Damn, man. Sorry. Her selling 10,000 copies, though, is like Spotify uploading 36 million songs and nobody can listen to.

It don't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. I don't expect that. All right, what's up? Speaking of Khloe, when I went to see Super Mario Brothers, they finally showed the trailer for The Little Mermaid,

starring her sister. Holly. Before they always just showed, yeah, Holly. Before they always just showed like a screenshot. You never saw a full movie trailer they just would tease you the entire time

it's like for the last two years or so they just been teasing it that movie is gonna do some amazing shit when it drops that shit looks I don't doubt that for a second

that movie looks crazy yeah I don't doubt that that movie looks crazy I'm not going to see it the black moviegoers dollars is gonna show up for her they are they are I wanna if that movie looks crazy. I'm not going to see it. The black moviegoers dollars is going to show up for her. They are.

They are. I want to see. That shit looks crazy. I want to see them dancing. I'll just be saying shit. Will we call that again? Oh. You don't think that's going to happen?

I think that Do Do Marley ain't going to be a movie. You really got to sound drag down fat. You really got the sound track down fat. They all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all,

they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all,

they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they all, they I want to go home. That shit's going to do numbers, though, Ice. No, it is. It is. And I agree with Mel. Black Doll is going to show up for it. Mainly because of the controversy. Yes.

About her being a young black woman playing Ariel. And white people were really, really butthurt about it. Yeah, they were tight. Yeah. They were. Yeah. Well, another thing that I'm tight about, pause. Fox Fallon, transgender MMA fighter, fractured her opponent's skull.

Now, America- That's a risk you take in MMA fighting. Excuse me? That's a risk you take in MMA fighting. America... That's a risk you take in MMA fighting. Excuse me? That's a risk you take in MMA fighting. First and foremost, I feel like they need to... The trans community, no disrespect,

needs to have their own league, needs to have their own organization where they could fight each other. At the end of the day, I don't know how it goes, the logistics of it, but you still have the strength of your past. I can say that, right? You fractured the poor woman's skull.

Fox, Fallon Fox. Can I get the wire, please? I want to play something real quick. Listen to this bullshit. Listen to this. This is grade A bullshit at its finest. Pardon me. Let me hear it.

Give me a second. We good? We are. Okay. We are. All right. How you feeling right now? I'm feeling excellent.

That was sweet, huh? Did you like that? Yeah! And I want to tell everyone else, I'm feeling excellent. That was sweet, huh? Did you like that? Yeah! And I want to tell everyone else, I'm coming in this tournament. Every woman in this tournament better look out. I'm freaking coming. Really?

Every woman in this tournament better look out. This is what you guys promoting? So we're going to have somebody with different strengths just beating on women? I don't give a fuck if it's MMA or not. I don't stand with it. Yeah, this is like, there was a swimmer

a couple years ago who he, the swimmer was in male competition and was like in his ranked 60th or 60th, like nowhere near

the top at all. And then became a female competitor and broke all the women records interesting man how do you feel about this i know that you don't you don't like to uh yeah yeah yeah yeah how you feel about this i see your face don't know no a trans woman beat the dog shit out of her opponent, fracturing her skull within 39 seconds. What is your take? Melissa.

Jesus Christ. Fractured skull, Mel. Yeah, I know. I don't really she don't want to unpack this one fellas give her a second

she got it yeah no I don't really you pass huh you pass on this one I fucking pass I mean look

I hate to say we told here's the problem back in 2011 2012 we told y'all this was going to start happening and we were called every phobic in the book that's just the truth every time a male said hey man you sure

y'all want to just let people just change and then compete now over here with the strength of over there that ain't that don't look like that's going to work out right. It don't seem right. Oh, you're just being transphobic. That person is allowed to express themselves and compete where that's who they are now. Cool.

Y'all opened this door. So now honestly and I know it sounds fucked up but every time I see a transgender athlete go over there and start smoking shit good for y'all. It, good for y'all. It's good for y'all. You guys need to be strength phobic.

Okay? That shit ain't right. Poor woman. Shout out to her. I'm not saying it's right that she got her skull fracture at all. I'm not saying that. But, I mean, it's MMA. I'm not saying that.

It's a chance you take. Horrific injuries do happen in MMA. Yes. Horrific injuries happen in MMA. So, I'm not trying to say, oh, that's what you get. Okay. I'm not saying that. It's a chance you take. Horrific injuries do happen in MMA. Yes. Horrific injuries happen in MMA. So I'm not trying to say, oh, that's what you get. No. But y'all opened the door for this type of thing to happen. And it's going to continue to happen.

Okay. And you're not any type of phobic for pointing this out. You on the hill by yourself. No, I'm on it with you, buddy. Call it what you by yourself, but no, I'm on there with you, buddy. Call it what you want, man. Okay, man. One of you niggas.

I caught myself. We done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We out of here. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Sit. Wait, wait.

Yes, America. So listen, you need to have your own Olympics for the trans community. You need to have your own TBA, anything. We support, but this is not okay. You all right, Joe? I just wanted to wait till you sit down.

You're so stupid. To get that last one out. Yeah, lucky. I was looking for this clip of this natural born woman letting the community have it. Did you find it? What? I was looking for that. Lucky I couldn't find it.

Oh shit Anyways Anyways I thought that this was interesting So Miss Angela White Formerly known as Black China Black China cast Every week we get a Black China update

I'm not mad I mean Give it to us Everybody likes the process of evolution that she's going through. I love it. She's removed fillers. Publicist dream. Well, then you might agree with the statements that Miss Rocky Thunder has. Oh, no, nothing that was said by her.

Oh, okay. Well, she went online and was basically saying that because Angela said that she'd gotten an honorary degree in theology. And Rocky basically hinted that she probably just paid for it and that it was fake. And so everybody started coming for her in the comments. And your name kind of got brought up in the comments. Oh, you left that part out of pre-pro. started coming for her in the comments. And your name kind of got brought up in the comments. Oh, you left that part out of pre-pro. Okay, surprise. That's what happened, number one.

Surprise. Your name got brought up in the comments. So who am I making... Oh, all right, let's hear it. No, your name got brought up in the comments because people were not here for what she had to say about Angela. And they basically just said that Joe should handle you to handle her the way that you had handled her in the past

I don't know what I mean what does that mean I don't know don't look at me that girl is a liar and a con and a scam artist and be warned, she is armed and dangerous if you approach her. She is armed and dangerous with just lies and deception. Stay far, far away. Got it.

Okay, well. My question is... And wait, hold up now. If they're giving out honorary degrees, if that's really like a thing, then I got a list of schools that need to be calling in on my phone or somebody's, St. Peter's.

That's what I was about to say. Like most honorary degrees ain't that- So celebrities are usually selected to be awarded an honorary degree for outstanding contribution to society or in their respective fields over the course of their career. And some people who have been given honorary degrees are Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West, Meryl Streep, John Legend, Aretha Franklin, Kerry Washington, Ed Sheeran, J.K. Rowling, Denzel Washington, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Everybody.

Them. Yeah. Them. Yeah. So that was. And Black China. Jersey City State University. I need somebody need to.

Somebody. I need an honorary degree From somebody Which one of your degrees Rutgers My thing is William Patterson If I bought the degrees So

A lot of people's point Was like Don't we essentially All buy Our degrees That's kind of what I'm Word Yeah

And everybody was just like But I'll pay for my degree And not complain about it Like show me where the line is I'll go I'll pay for my degree and not complain about it. Like, show me where the line is. I'll go, I'll go.

I know niggas that used to pay the teacher and didn't go to class. Just, take this bread, this is more than you're gonna make and you just give me my grades and then I'll graduate. It's like when the mayor

of Jersey City at the time, Glenn Cunningham, hey, rest in peace, was giving me the key to the city and I was like, oh, this lip,

what this do? Nothing. Don't do shit, nigga. It's just... It's symbolic. Yeah, it's just something. What's up, you all right? I'm good, my bad. There's only one Newark boy here today. I can handle it. You can handle one Newark boy. Pause. I'm good. Yeah, what are you without your little light-skinned big brother? I'm ice. I'm still me. Yeah. Big freeze. Yeah. Big freeze. Employee of the month. Employee of the month.

That support was hate. That support was hate. That support was hate. That support was hate. For the rest of the year, I'm calling it out, yo. She ain't like that shit. Don't give me that support hate. Don't give it to me.

I totally think you were employee of the month. No, he was totally employee of the month. Absolutely. I thought without a doubt. I didn't think it to me. I totally think you were employee of the month. No, he was totally employee of the month. Absolutely. I thought without a doubt. I didn't think there was a close second either. There was no close second. Well, thank you. I'll give you close second. No, I don't want to be employee of the month at all. Yeah, you do.

No, I don't. That's that cap hate. I don't. You might as well be captain hate where your shield at I don't I mean you know we working yeah

yeah I don't I want that you want to take a second and talk to them niggas that was sending shots at you about your show no no no

oh they're doing a show not you every week now that you tasted a little success pause you come in here and act scared

to talk to the people who know how there's a few niggas now that ran you off your block sent you out the park with your ball yo go get your basketball and get your fat ass to fuck out the people. Who? No, how? There's a few niggas now that ran you off your block and sent you out the park with your ball. Are you crazy?

Yo, go get your basketball and get your fat ass the fuck out the park, right? Nah, nah, what happened was, I guess... Yo, it's our court now. We don't care if you had necks. There's a few niggas

and I don't like that. You're not even getting your basketball. Just leave. Just our ball. Yeah, actually, yeah. We gonna play with this one. You did that to me?

Really? Yeah, a few times. Okay, cool. I mean, there's no beep, though. Shout out to them. Respect. I did that, you know, the number ones salute. Flip, I got a question for okay cool I mean there's no beep though shout out to them I did that you know the number ones salute flip I got a question for you I rock and maybe ice if y'all have help please answer I have a question for you if me and you are at odds in real life you and I

yeah and it's like beef is threats like it's up it's one slight type of we are at odds like it's up for you when I see you same with you tell me how you and I end up on an insta live together that's the only thing that's confusing me about the new age methods of war how do I end up on an Insta Live with someone I deem to be an op having a conversation? And if I wanted to have a conversation,

why would I do that on a public forum that way? Like, how do you get it? Okay, now, is somebody managing the Insta Live or is it just you and the person?

I don't think that matters. Me either. I don't think it matters. It does matter. Because if it's you and I, that means we probably nine times out of ten, we had a conversation the person? I don't think that matters. Me either. It does matter. If it's you and I, that means we probably 9 times out of 10, we had a conversation prior to that. We had a conversation prior to that that we're going to go on live

and show the people that we're able to have this conversation and we hashed it out. If it's somebody that's managing it, that means that I just sent a request to go at you and shit like that. So it's different things with being on Insta Live with a person you beefing with. Have you ever done that? I have.

Why? What were you looking to gain? Well, like I said, I had a conversation prior. The world don't know. The audience don't know that we go live together and we hash it out in front of the live, but we already have an understanding. And then there was another time

when somebody's hosting live, I went up there to talk my shit. It's up in the stuck, I'm violating you when I see you. And you didn't hash it out. No, I didn't. But sometimes it get hashed out. When a person be like,

hold on, hold on, let me say something. Let me say something. Let me explain. That right there is a key or that right there is a little window that they're giving you to have the conversation you know i just want to tell you this let me hold on or let me say this to you so if i'm saying i

was arguing with somebody recently he's like hold on hold on but let me say this first i was like we was both talking crazy but as soon as you say yo let me say this and you listen i'm giving him room to understand where his mind was at when this happened and he's putting his ego away to explain himself. When someone wants to explain themselves for what you're accusing them of,

that means that there's open for to rectify the situation. Pause. Okay. My question is, why does that need to happen in front of a live audience?

Because a lot of times the fallout happened in front of a live audience. Yeah, I don't do that. I'm not joking. See, that's where it loses. That's where it loses me. That's where it loses me.

How? So what? That the fallout happens in front of the live audience. See, that's what I... Y'all want the negativity to live on the air. No, no, no, I don't.

We can still come out and say, hey, yo, if me and you had issues, right? Like beef, I'm talking about. I don't have to get on a live with you. I can say, no, me and Flip, yo, we done already talked that out, and that's it. I don't have to get on a live with you. I can say, nah, me and Flip, yo, we done already talked that out and that's it. I don't have to do that with you.

But that's the same thing for Jeezy and Gucci. It was more impactful to see them together than to just them come out and say, yo, we squashed it. But they didn't do a live. They got money together.

But it was more impactful seeing them together. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, but, and there was a bag attached to it. Yes, a big bag. Now, if y'all are telling me there's a bag attached to these InstaLives, then I'm going to shut up. There is, but I'm sure probably not. it was a bag attached to it. Yes, a big bag. Now, if y'all are telling me there's a bag attached

to these Insta Lives, then I'm going to shut up. There is, I'm sure. There is a bag attached to it. I'm not talking about all that nickel and dime shit them paying for the story or the reels or a badge.

I'm talking about a bag bag. Somebody's paying you to go live with this person. We're going to give you a couple of thousands, 50,000, 40,000, depending on, you know, what they can make off of it.

It happened before. Their bags are relative. Yeah, that's right. How about this? I'm out of my black ass business. What did you see? Why did you ask that question? Because it's an ongoing trend.

Who was the latest? I see it all the time. All the time. I see it all the time. No, I don't. Oh, okay. I'm just saying, I see it all the time. But hold on, that doesn't, okay. I'm just saying, I see it all the time.

I see it. But hold on, that doesn't... I want to know. Wait, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You can't... That doesn't... That's not suffice.

That doesn't... That was a different situation. Okay. Okay. I'm just saying, I see this shit happen. I don't believe there's any situation to where I should be on Insta Live talking to someone that I think is up with. I don't see no situation.

I don't see what good could come from that. If a nigga playing with your name publicly and violating you, who you are as a man and trying to test your manhood, there's nothing wrong to cam up and let him know that when I see you or. Cam up. There's a lot wrong with that. No, it's not. You lost me.

But hold on, hold on. I'm just saying you lost me. You was in an incident. Hold on, hold on. Somebody was cammed up. There's a lot wrong with that. No, it's not. You lost me. Just because you ain't... But hold on, hold on. I'm just saying you lost me. You was in an incident. Hold on, hold on. Somebody was came up and I talked about this the other day with academics.

You asked to cam him down so you can go up there. Do you remember we discussed that? Okay, so you did it too but in a different way. You just chose not to go up there with them

to have a back and forth. You was in the comments responding to this individual while he was live with ACT. These things happen on the internet. Do as you must. Thank you. I will.

I'm so curious. So you used an example of mine but said I did it in a different way, which argues my point that I would never do that. I would never do that. You would never go live with a person. For all that, when it's some,

if it's some real smoke, that wasn't even real smoke. That's why I don't like the example. But when it's real smoke, cam up just ain't one of the things that... I'm not trying to be Mr. Positive. I'm not saying don't beef. But if you beefing, why are we... But my thing is this, Flip.

Like you said, I'm using your example that you were in, where you cammed up and you got on there you got your shit off you told I'm a violate you when I see you XYZ right something about happened to that person tomorrow we're gonna look at that's how I look at it like why am I even putting my putting that that out there a lot of niggas that's real shoot the 101 I'm oh let's keep it real y'all you on live but we're gonna meet up And get the one off A lot of real grown men do that

I agree with you AD and China Mac did that Shot the 101 People do that Yes I'm not disagreeing with that I'm saying Why am I

Threatening you On a live Leaving a recorded video Of when I see you This is gonna happen to you So if something happens to you I get looked at But niggas get punched in the face When I see them I see you this is going to happen to you so if something happens to you I get looked at. But niggas get punched in the face

when I see them I'm going to punch you in your face. It happens. You're missing Not everything have to leave the Hold on. I'm sorry.

You brought it up. Not everything have to leave the violence or gun violence. We can fight. I didn't say nothing about gun violence. That's the only way

I can see things going or somebody getting hurt or stabbed or shot or killed. If you shoot the one-on-one, it happens. This is like we live in a reality of people fighting. We have a lot of testosterone. That's how I feel. So I'm going to punch

you in your face when I see you. And when I see you, not to tell you I may punch you in your face unless you work out. I'm going to leave. So that's like y'all 24-7. If y'all about to fight, this is like when Floyd and them used to build up to the fight. It's the face-off. It's the face-off. What is he talking about?

You're being funny, but it's true. I'm not creating content with the nigga I'm about to fight with. Hey, cam up. So you're just going to allow a nigga to say all this disparate- Cam up. Take this. You're going to allow a nigga to say all this disparate- Me, yes.

Disparate things- I'm not camming up. About you on the internet in front of an audience questioning your manhood and not say nothing or do nothing or not respond. If you are asking me. If it's up like that, I'm not responding to you

on the internet. Because you don't care about the backlash. Some people do. That's all I'm saying. I'm only speaking from my perspective. I'm not telling nobody

what to do. I ain't no street nigga or that shit, but if it's up with somebody and it's like, if I really got an issue with you and I'm like, whenever I do see

this nigga flip, I'm going to pop off on him. The flip, I'm going to pop off on him. The last thing I'm going to do is tell you. I've seen a lot of niggas talk about being punched in the face and they got punched in the face. I've seen 50 say it a couple of times

and I've seen it happen. We can't pick and choose who get punched in the face or who's eligible to say, I'm going to violate you and violate and then not get ridiculed. As men,

as human beings We get upset We get angry And it's okay to say When I see you I'm going to punch you In your mouth On a live

It's okay to say that And it's okay to see them And punch them in the mouth I'm with you with the second part Okay I respect what you're saying I'm with you I agree with what you're saying.

Congratulations. Or I'm sorry. Or agree to disagree. All right, my brother. One of those four should cover the tab. We good, we good. LSU, Mel? Okay.

LSU, they've accepted the invitation to the White House. That's it. That's the recap. Your little friend showed up. Now the recap is fast. He's trying to get to it. What do you know? You see that, right? Ish called out. Now the recaps is fast. She's trying to get to it. What do you know? You see that, right?

It's called out. Now the recaps get fast. Got somewhere to go? No. No. It's just Angel Reese. Would she tweet that she's going to? Look.

Look. What? I think I read that the White House rescinded their invitation to Iowa. Yeah. Which led the LSU players to be okay with going that the White House rescinded their invitation to Iowa. Yeah. Which led the LSU players to be okay with going to the White House. Would y'all go still? Yeah.

Yeah, I'd probably go. Pull up. Say what's up. If I was going to go originally, then yeah, I would. Yeah. Depends on who's in the office. The White House needs to be updated. What do you mean? That shit looking mad Abe Lincoln-ish.

That shit ain't looking like a vibe when you walk in. They rescinded the interview after. Invitation. Barack had it looking like a vibe when he told D-Nice, come up here. They rescinded the invitation after. What's the young lady from Iowa? Caitlin Clark. Who said.

Nah. Yeah. She was like, we're sweet. we shouldn't be invited up there anyway. So yeah, naturally you're going to rescind the invitation at that point. What are we doing? You still playing in our faces by saying you wanted to invite them in the first place?

Man, fuck out of here, man. But I agree with you. If I was going in the first place, I'd go. Yeah, but now I was going and now I'm glad y'all showed me what y'all really thought. I don't need to go here. So Angel Reese basically said, you know what? I'm going to be a team player because she is not the only person on the team.

She's the one that everybody's paying most attention to. But there's other teammates who probably really wanted to go. And she was just like, we should all go. Since the invitation to Iowa has been rescinded, fine. We'll go. I'm not mad at her. That's a class act. Yeah.

I'm going for gang. Yeah. Yeah, fuck them though. They better not serve them some bullshit while they're there. That's all I'm saying. No hamburgers, no Big Macs, no Whoppers. Y'all saying that, but- Any fried chicken we violate, y'all niggas.

None of that. None of that. Keep it a buck. Call catch. If the visit is on a Sunday and they roll out the Chick-fil-A anyway, who going to be mad? I would. You'd be mad at Chick-fil-A? It's the White House.

I can get Chick-fil-A any fucking time. Can't get on a Sunday nowhere. I need you guys to hire a good chef to cater to them girls. And let the chef cook in the White House kitchen. We know you got the state of the art shit. You press the button, the doors turn. We need all that. Fuck y'all talking about.

Glass shit don't mean nothing. Hey, yo. I'm about to play... Your man. Where he from, man? Lloyd Banks,, yo. I'm about to play... Your man. Where he from, man? Lloyd Banks, new project. I'm featuring Method Man. 101 Raisins.

What up, Blue? Shout out to you. C-O-T-I-3 coming soon. Grimy and gritty. Some volume on that city. Killer before the shine, I came out that nigga I'm born to rhyme, back on the corporate line These chumps operating on awkward time This is my quarter though, you eat what you slaughter We all can dime, hit what's fade, I fall in the hole again

How it's supposed to climb? And me the fortunate, New York in this bitch And we torch and shit, I'm really forced to quit Bought a net ticket from Talking's slate Made it in poster wit Fuck out the way for the horses kick This where the bosses flick Bitch with the rings don't stay all convicted The other damage you got thrown in the game with no manual Back on my feet after the scramble Got all the intangibles

So pass the mantle, over time I handle Whether the weakest struck a sandal I'm warming up like commando, nigga Light up a candle, there'll be obsedeve And it's clear to block season The city made me cold I don't, I'm warming up like a mando, nigga Light up a candle, there'll be obsidian It's clear to block season, the city made me cold I don't think I'ma ever stop freezing Filet mignon for no reason Too many days of chopped cheese And move like I'm under surveillance, panoply scheming When you thought it was over, another one's out the chamber

When you come up in the barrels, you come through a round of danger They ain't gon' do nothing for you, nigga Helps a lot of favors, cause we never had much Learn to survive on what they gave us, 101 bases Shit gon' stay the' for you nigga, help's a lot of favors Cause we never had much, learn to survive on what they gave us A hundred one bases, shit don't stay the same, you gotta go through the stages Careful how you move, they want you livin' in cages Stay away from suckin' shit, the hatin' is contagious I been gettin' the money dawg, the money won't change us

Legend before it's time and you just a buster before the rhyme You pre-Madonna's like a virgin Madonna before the line Bunch of boring lines, no one falling for it So fall in line to punchline them like a freestyle slime Stay off of mine, get it? Off of mine Some of us get it, but off of crime The office off the table, public defender Go off of time

When they thought I was subbing, I thought sublime Now I see since 2020, I clearly thought I was blind The streets is watching them They want them With biggie and pocket and resort to popping them But how is that solving the problem? I got a lot of them, I also got dreams, I follow them I'm not concerned with rappers who can't spit, so swallow them

This ain't for lil' saints, so pardon them You see them pearly gates, that's where them saints go marching in So shall we start again? Method and banks, this marketing Cause ain't no bargaining with the demographic we're targeting When you thought it was over, another one's out the chamber When you come up in the boroughs, you come through a round of danger They ain't gon' do nothin' for you, nigga, help's all out of favors Cause we never had much, learn to survive on what they gave us A hundred one basis

Shit don't stay the same, you gotta go through the stages Careful how you move, they want you living in cages Stay away from suckin' shit, the hatin' is contagious I been gettin' the money though 101 Razors Use your button Banks, Method Man Hello?
