Starting point is 00:00:27 Enjoy the show. No, listen, listen, everybody relax. Everybody simmer down. Audience, welcome. Welcome, welcome. Hey guys. Big Mona in the building. Big Mona is in the building.
Starting point is 00:00:42 What's popping? Boy, they fired, nigga. You go to HR, get yourself back. Oh, see, and that's my problem. And that's my problem with Mona. That's why she didn't do it. You got that. Joke.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Joke, guys. I wasn't fired. Yeah, because you let me take a lot. lot of heat across socials when you miss the episode or when you know what I mean? They thought I fired you and I didn't shout you out last week
Starting point is 00:01:12 because I'm not shouting nobody out when they're going through their private shit. That's their story to tell. But they, they, boy, they tore me up. I thought my girl was going to hit the timeline and be like, no, y'all, I'm straight. Everything is okay. I still work with the gang. But nope. Not a peep.
Starting point is 00:01:30 First of all, I am so corny like that that I really feel like, yeah, you're supposed to go and say like, oh, what are you talking about? But I didn't really see it. Like, I don't know what a app you're talking about. I tapped into Twitter a little bit, cursed out a few. It was right there. It was all. But I've taken my brother's advice and I muted a lot of stuff. I told you all that I read comments about myself for like two hours at four in the morning.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Like, I'm going to go and cry. And I'm muted myself after that. Don't cry. Don't cry. I cry. I don't cry. That confirms a long-standing theory I've had about the fucking tough bitches on the exterior. Behind clothes.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Cupcake. Bro, you can't even get me. The sweetest thing. You know why you can't give me that even though I am. I am very soft. You're a cupcake, yeah. But I was on my period. I've been doing this for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:02:21 You know what I mean? Like I've never done that. I've never really, like normally I would find somebody, go to their page, find her ashy grandma. I'm going to grandma. I can't do that no more. because I lose my page. Then it would be, I'll see it and I'll mute it because there's so many ways that you can
Starting point is 00:02:36 change your page to not be able to see stuff like that. So everybody's calling you a whore and you mute the word. With the word whore. They could type whore every day, but nobody sees it but them in Jesus. So it's things, you know, but I just, that day I just decided to read. And again, this is a new thing for me.
Starting point is 00:02:52 So when I first was reading these comments, because I do want to get the people what they want. You know what I mean? So I want to tap in, but it's like, these niggas is hard to please. I don't think you really can at this point. So Mona is very happy to be here with us. Speak for her.
Starting point is 00:03:10 No, no, I know that because of how she's hugged everyone today. That's true. I didn't give a hug, but it's a hug. She's just been, well, you know why. Her deep-rooted beliefs. Actually, her not-so-deep-rooted beliefs. And that's how we got here. Mona came in and immediately got into one of her favorite bag.
Starting point is 00:03:32 which is to, you know. Harash you? I mean, spread the good word of the Muslim faith. Ramadan will be a rig. You like the nigger in the train when you're trying to catch the F. You like you get your shit off and she immediately called me a Christian.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh my God. I called him a believer at first, y'all. I said believer. He's a believer. He's a believer in a higher power. You know, I've been corrected. But I just feel like, like knowing Joey or whatever
Starting point is 00:04:04 but potting with him just certain things that what you said that made me say that was you were talking about, we were talking about science and when you said whatever you said about what you thought about science I said you were talking about Corey being, what is he again? An atheist.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Buddy in love now so let's see where his views stand in a few times. Let's see if you got the bitch. Yeah, that'll change him. A couple Sundays from now he's going to have a suit on. Yeah, he's giving his life to the Lord. Deacon Corey. If the bitch of witness now, he's driving her door to Do her.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Watch a tower, my brother. So Mona was talking about how Corey's an atheist, and I jumped in and said that I've been listening to some clips of Neil de Gras recently, and I get the feeling that he may be too. And I said he believes in science. Yeah, science. And then I thought about some of the areas I disagree
Starting point is 00:04:53 with Neil DeGrasse Tyson in. Okay. Neil deGrasse Tyson believes science to be the end-all. be all of all things. And if it's not scientifically proven or disproven, then he's just not, he's just not subscribing to it. And I don't believe in that shit at all.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Me either. I'm totally on, I think it's arrogant of humans to think that your little man-made science got on earth and figured everything out. I think there's some shit that's, that you cannot account for and will not be able to account for with your little tools. But the rest of it,
Starting point is 00:05:32 I'm going to go ahead with science. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. But see, I think that's where science is. So right now,
Starting point is 00:05:42 yes, you're right. And then as people keep learning and experiment and now we uncover more shit, just look at history. It's shit that we knew as fact 200 years ago that is completely wrong. Why?
Starting point is 00:05:54 Because science has evolved enough to prove it. I think as they keep going, they keep discovering new shit, they keep discovering new science, and new theories and whatever, they understand more. They know they don't understand it all. In my higher power talk,
Starting point is 00:06:07 my higher power talk to me is greater than Neil de Gras's science talk. There's some shit that your science will never be able to answer. So when I start speaking to him, because I'm being on spirituality, when I start speaking to him about what he believes happens
Starting point is 00:06:23 when we leave here, he's very scientific. He's very, there's no proof that, Do you remember when you were a nut inside your... Do you remember that? There's no proof to say that death won't be like pre-birth and... It's non-existence.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Can't the... He can't convince me of that. I know too many people that woke up and seen their dead mother in the corner talking to them. I believe in mediums. I believe that there are people that read other shit that you humans and your tools can't read. Okay. And I believe that to have happened by design. But see, the other side of that, the ones who question that thing, that's just a coping mechanism.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Like, you didn't really see your mom in the corner. Yeah, it's part of your, is you processing your grief. You thought you saw your mom, and that's how you're helping deal with it. And there's no way to prove or disprove either one of them. And that's why it's greater than science. And that's why it's greater than science. You're not going to be able to prove or disprove it. Like I said, I think science and religion is doing the same thing.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Neither one of them can, they're both trying to question where, how we got here. here and where are we going when we leave? And why we're here. That's the two questions, and they're going about it in different ways. Religion is faith-based. So we were told something, we believe it, we don't need proof.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Science is, no, we have to prove this. And we're going to keep going until we can prove or disprove it. Until we get either one of those, we don't believe it either. And the big difference is faith. That's the thing. It's like, you're going to always, your intelligence or scientific, whatever,
Starting point is 00:07:57 you're going to always be able to talk to a believer and prove something to them that goes against what they believe. But that's why believers have faith. Believers have faith is what I think is really what it is, and that's why it's real, and that's why it's true. And that's the big difference. That's why it's like, it's almost like it's a waste of a debate
Starting point is 00:08:14 when it comes to people that believe in science. Because the faith part, that's the whole thing. And for me, the world is so fucked up. I couldn't imagine living without having faith. Because without the faith part, it's like, why would you care about doing things to people who are being nasty? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:28 like what would anything matter if you didn't have any faith in it? It was somebody watching and it was going to be some type of judgment or something. But then there are lots of atheists who are good people and don't steal or kill people and do... True, true.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I'm saying, I'm saying... I'm saying... I would be a... It would be rough. I'm telling you. Well, you're a criminal as a Muslim. And that's the thing about... And that's the thing about Muslims are flawed.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Christians are flawed. We all are. For me, Muslims are flawed. Islam is perfect, not Muslims. Muslims are just people. You know what I mean? That's it. At the top.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Say what? And not at the top. That's why I don't love people like to have these talks with you and Mark present. I never talk about religion. I know, but I see your skin boil. No. No.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I just think I'm thinking. I see Miz coming out. No. He's ready to tell the truth. He's ready to tell the truth. I got some pamphlets in my back. I was thinking about the opposite. I was thinking about how many people also worship science.
Starting point is 00:09:28 You know, and that becomes a problem, too, if you become so beholden to science that you believe everything that scientists tell you. Because scientists, like you said, are just trying to figure out, use the best tools you have at the moment to make sense of the world until you get new tools. Yeah. It's evolving. Yeah, it's always evolving. Constantly. Yeah. Now, that doesn't make me not believe the world is a sphere.
Starting point is 00:09:48 It doesn't make me not believe that, like, I can predict rain or, you know, whatever, or, you know, what to eat or, you know, there are lots of things that I would lean into science for, but I also don't want to. worship science any more than I want to, any more than a scientist would tell people not to worship something that they can't see, you know? I, lastly, I don't, I never talk about religion with people. Partly because the cult and spent so many years doing it, but lots of bad stories.
Starting point is 00:10:15 But also, because it doesn't get, I don't think it gets anywhere. I feel like some people need to believe in things in order to be good people and to stay sane. And if that's what keeps you from doing that, So be awesome. A little man saying, Menace, if a law
Starting point is 00:10:28 can make you a better man, then Jesus can't remember Charles Dutton said that to him. I'm all for it. Cool. You know, whatever gets people going on. I got my 10th for you crew here today.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I see what's going on it. So the joke I've been making ever since I got here today, I've been teased in BDOT because we've had a very poor music release day. Yeah, so he's been zapped of his superpowers
Starting point is 00:10:52 to be able to discuss music and albums, but he's shocked. me. He had a trick in his back pocket. He burst out of nowhere. And he said, well, I'm a Christian. I am. Peace God. He started breaking down the history. I don't think of it's that.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I didn't know the beat out was a Christian. Yeah, man. And I listened to all of that radar. I am a believer. Yes, actually, me, Killer Mike got into it once about faith-based things. Really? Yeah. And that conversation ended up in a Christian-based movie, believe it or not. Get out of it. What was the debate? What was it in the big?
Starting point is 00:11:24 Tyler Perry movies? Is it a Tad of TV? No, no, it was a movie about TDJ. It was still free, huh? Oh, my God, Joey. He's still out? Who was the movie about? It was about...
Starting point is 00:11:37 YouTube's coming up fast and shit. He's like, let me get all this out before the arraignment. He's done, you know. Well, Joe Bid up. No, it was a movie debunkered the fact that, you know, Christianity is a white man's religion. Remember when Killer Mike had the show on Netflix and he was talking about that?
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yes. Yeah, so him and I went back and forth on that. Who won? I think it was pretty, I think while I end up in a movie, so I guess I won, right? Okay. But what was your position that it is? No, it's not a white man's religion. That's just propaganda.
Starting point is 00:12:06 So when people, some people are under the thought of that. Yeah, Killer Mike was at the time. He was saying that. In his Netflix special, he was going around, you know, trying to explain or trying to figure out why that was the position of Christian, Christianity. But I told him it's not. It's not a fact that Africans were introduced to Christianity. through slavery, that's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:12:27 No, it's not. I mean, Christianity existed before the transatlantic slave trade. Actually, the first ended up in Ethiopia under the gospel of Mark, he took it there and it spread throughout
Starting point is 00:12:41 the world. Yeah, balance that Muslim shit out you, you be talking. Yeah, the son of Martha. I just want to hear you know, your door. I mean, we... No, it existed. Like, the first, like I said, the first church was set up in Ethiopia, and that's That's one of the only nations in Africa that's never been colonized.
Starting point is 00:13:03 You're mute up, yo. I don't want to hear no more ishaelahs today. He did that during Ramadan, too. That's crazy. Wow, they're hungry as hell you did that. Damn. That being true or not, right? It wouldn't matter.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It still doesn't mean that it wasn't. slavery wasn't introduced to a lot of Africanism slavery. But it was weaponized by a lot of Europeans. I mean, it's really like Bibles redone so slave owners can feel better about beating this shit out of their slaves and fucking the women like. Listen, Marathon Burger. Did we ever get to the bottom of it?
Starting point is 00:13:46 We didn't. Oh my God, I'm so happy to see you. Happy to see you. I am. I'm happy to see you up. I'm here. Mark is here. yes
Starting point is 00:13:56 you're right I'm great man I'm great I thought I wasn't going to see y'all today for a minute but it worked out you know I was uh
Starting point is 00:14:05 I was driving my kid to school and I got a note like right at the school start time that the school was shut down because the pipe burst and there was no running water or toilets
Starting point is 00:14:15 they damn they love to shit up don't they yeah and I was like that didn't sound like enough of an argument for keeping the school who run the school who won't see
Starting point is 00:14:23 I was an authority? Did you see him? Did you see him? No, you see him? Yo, they only said that email to mark. The school is open. School is open. All his classmates in class right now.
Starting point is 00:14:38 What do we tell them? Yo, tell them the pipe burst. We're not doing this today. That sounds like to lean on me school, man. Yo, I know, don't it? They don't charge like one, though, man. Way, are you paying in the pipe road? Wait, this is a private school?
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. You know that. Oh, come on. If I'm paying for a private school, I'm never watching my son between hours at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Y'all better have something at the house for him. You know, that watching your own kid shit?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Right. And my wife out of town, so we didn't have a lot of options. Oh, man. So she left yesterday, which was, you know, so I got the next two or three days to myself. That's like the best part of stardom that you don't have to see your children and your family anymore. That's what I thought. Turns out when the school closed and the work day, you got to bring them.
Starting point is 00:15:22 So I brought him here. This is the 80s, you would have been home, man. Oh, yeah. Bob Barker would have been babysitter. Yo, that's a fan. I walked and seen that Sandy Brown fur. What the hell is this nigga doing? And it's real.

Starting point is 00:15:46 His son was definitely choking him all the way out. I was going to leave out the fact that he picked Mark up from his thighs and tried to find. He's freakishly strong. He's strong. I didn't know how he spoke Spanish neither. No, I didn't know Mark was a bilingual that could come in handy. Try a lingual.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, he speak. Arabic is Arabic. Arabic? Yeah, that's why I got a really important question for him in hour three. I have a really important question for Mark. So you're good at the corner stores, man. Spanish, Arabic? Yeah, he's a bodega.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Yeah. He's a bodega. Yeah. But yeah, no, he's wearing me. already, but he was actually chill today much more than the last time. He seemed like he just didn't like any of us. No, he was really gregarious to you came in, I swear.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Oh, he don't like me. Damn. He spoke to Phelps. He was about to sit on Phelps lap. Gave a hug. He was a little Latina. They had the same height too. Oh, shit. And if the school
Starting point is 00:16:45 closed, it should be like a substitute school. It should be something. Like a Plan B school or some shit. Yeah, like an after school program, but in a Daytime is some shit where they see and watch Never Ending Story like we did a million times. Exactly. Where's the TV on the little roly card? Yo, do y'all know it's a never-ending story two and three? No way. I did not know that. Who knew that?

Starting point is 00:25:37 So when I go through shit, I'm not talking about it, and it's like, it's starting to be overwhelmed. I'm sorry. Where? Where are you quiet? No, I'm quiet at home. I used to be like life of the party person. I'm talking to everybody.
Starting point is 00:25:55 I'm always having, or I'm on the phone all day long. Like I don't talk on the phone. I don't talk to people. I talk for a living so it's not the same. You know, Bob. And I'm transparent with a lot of my shit, so the internet I know what's going on most of the time. But yeah, that was really it.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Is there anything you could do that really used to stress? I just don't want you to be in a bad spot, especially. I'm thinking life alert. I'm thinking getting on some whole old niggins shit. I need somebody to really hit the bleep. Mr. Demona, are you all right? I'm good, Abigail.
Starting point is 00:26:25 You know what I mean? I was thinking more like diet and exercise, not just like the intercom. Yes, for sure. Diet exercise. I'm on it. I got up this morning. I ran two miles and said to myself, I couldn't imagine waking up and not running them.
Starting point is 00:26:42 You know what I mean? I dig it, man. I just feel like you're doing too much. I just love you and I want you to do too much. Yeah, because I saw you uploaded, you uploaded an episode and I clicked on it. And yeah, you looked like. Do you watch my bag? You had like a seizureish kind of.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah, you did. And I'm sitting there. You had an all black too. Yeah, you didn't look. You looked like you were zapped. First of all, I had on all black. I was trying to give like a, like a, what are they called? The Panthers.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I was trying to give a Panther look. I thought you're going to say, Widow. Like, no, okay. Okay, fellas, that's what we're going to do. I'm just saying. I'm going to do me like that. I'm just saying you didn't have to up you. It's okay to not upload content while you're going through a health crisis.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Bullshit. Does the Joe Button show miss a week? We have. Sometimes? We have. But it's also seven of us. My last podcast, four years, I think I missed maybe two out of the four. And I was super proud of that.
Starting point is 00:27:42 You know what I mean? Just having some in the tuck or whatever to my fellow content. People just having something in the tuck so you don't have to do that. You know what I mean? But for the most part, my production team doesn't care about me. And they let me do that looking crazy. Yeah, that was nuts. They could have told you if they had your best interest to just sit this one out for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Tell them. Tell them that they saw, please. And then I tried to get you a day off, but. That is a lie. It's thinking of running with the same lies for about an hour. I didn't see you here last week? It's a goddamn parks. And you see, that's that shit I've been talking about.
Starting point is 00:28:12 No, I didn't come in last week. But that wasn't giving the day off. I told you I wasn't coming in because I looked really. Your thing I looked beat up at my podcast. I look rough on Friday. Because I have a black guy. My eye is black guy I make up on.
Starting point is 00:28:24 That's bruises all over. Like it was a real thing. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know what happened last week. You didn't tell. I wasn't sure she wasn't fired. But it was starting to think.
Starting point is 00:28:35 It is so sick about the firing thing because like I don't know. They all lying counting her months. Yeah. Like she asked Benny about six months. Yeah. I don't know what you're normally. do, but I feel like even regardless of what, when my contract was up, I think people would say I got
Starting point is 00:28:48 fired anyway. Well, yeah, because people leave unceremoniously from here for years. Oh, is that the thing? Yeah, so they just put it on me no matter what. Listen, when I leave, I'm going to talk about it. Listen, there's no music out. I mean, there is, but...
Starting point is 00:29:05 Oh my God, you didn't hear that new LaRussle and Little John? I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. I breathed through it. I listen to Wiggle It because I already like Wiggle It. And I'm like, how could he have made Wiggle It better? Guess how it works? He didn't? Yeah!
Starting point is 00:29:24 It's Wiggly it with that. I breeze through it. Yeah. As I did with a lot of the music that came out today. Everything I heard was ass. It was a week, this week. Mona, we pushing the Ler Russell's album back to Hour 4. Oh, my baby.
Starting point is 00:29:41 That's my name. We don't open with Ler Russell. I thought you a little Russell. Boosie and his kids dropped. Yeah, he did. Come on. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Okay. Okay. All right. I told Mona that I would not press this button today because she, you know what I mean, just got back. But I'm trying. I'm giving a leeway. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:30:02 What's wrong with the boozy hours? Oh, wait a minute. That's the thing. There's no rhythm of reason to this shit. You just got to feel when you could do shit. What you could do in hour one, you might can't do hour two. You damn sure better not try at hour four. Boosie is another hour three guy up here.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Maybe four. Yeah, maybe four sometimes. You can feel it. You feel it. Got you. Keep up, nigga. Well, one album that I listened to against my better judgment. I didn't want to, but it seemed like we had to.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Was Narles Barkley? I don't think that we had to, but I also listened to it. I didn't even know that. I didn't see that one. I breathed through it. I breathed through it. It was highly disappointing. As a C-Lo fan, even though I know he's problematic.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And as a Danger Mouse fan and as a Narls Barkley fan, I liked one song. I would say one or two. It's like 18 songs. Damn. Is it 18? I think it's 13. 13.
Starting point is 00:30:51 13. You're right. And they, and they held this as the final album. So when you said like, this is our last album, that makes me feel like you swinging for the fences. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And it felt more like... I don't feel like... Today, when somebody told me that's the last album, I think y'all went in the vault and put some shit together and we... We had to go get one real quick. Yes. That's fair. That's what it really means.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But for my artists who I respect them as artists. And they've made good music separately together. I was like, okay, when Tribe said this is our last album, I was like excited. I know they're not Tribe. I'm just saying like when I respect you and you say, this is my last album, I raised my bar. And this wasn't even a good for it, not my last album. Right. This was like a you should left this in the studio.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Yeah. That's on my do list. Don't cross it off. Oh, yeah. Well, no. Yeah. Cross it off. Yeah, you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Go for a walk. You could, but you don't have to. Yeah. It won't make you happy. Give it a quick breeze through. It's trash on the breeze through, too. You don't need to listen to it in full to know. I do appreciate that from the niggas that make trash.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Like, if I can hit the sample and know it's trash, thank you. Thank you. Sometimes they trick you. Sometimes they trick you. All right, so, Nolz Barkley, trash. What I listened to, which wasn't trash, was Todd Dalla Sons EP. For the EP I'll call Girl Music. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And it's quick. Six, six songs, 17 minutes. Feature Ron Isley, Brandy, Leon Thomas. And this is good. So I didn't hear none of the trash. I was very happy about this one. I'm looking forward to the Todd Dollar Signed album. I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:32:31 He was supposed to be coming out with an album a couple months ago. Yeah? Let's get to it. This is track one off Todd Dollar Sign. Nobody has to know with Ronald Isley. Quick joint six song, 17 minutes. It's not bad. Yeah, I like this.
Starting point is 00:32:51 If you down, I take your soul, you're going to let your home girls know. Hit it on the back, but you on top, I let you take control. Go, go, take my soul. Girl, nobody has to know. Girl, nobody has to know. Man, it's just true. He can't fuck you like I do. That's what I stopped.
Starting point is 00:33:19 You get the point. That's when I stopped. Yeah. Stop. You said that's where you stopped? That's where I stopped. What? Because that R. Kelly.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Oh, no, that wasn't why. It was just like, Dan, like, you can't fucking, like, I'm cool. I do, maybe it was just a timing thing. I love Todd Dalla sign, but it felt lazy to me. Lazy. Everybody's doing Rine Eyesley Samples, because what's going to drop this week with Rion Isley Sample too, right? Bezo.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Icewear Vizzo. Yeah, Icewear Vizzo. Yeah. He put out a little EP as well. It's pretty good. It's like for women. very women centric This track 2
Starting point is 00:33:56 3 billion I like this one I think that's what Timberlin I think that's what Timberlin This is sounds crazy in the car It's better It's better It's better
Starting point is 00:34:08 It's better Anytime I let you ride And I love when you ride God damn I never play fair And this shit back And got them bitches on goals Oh
Starting point is 00:34:19 I know you don't share And nothing come back Listen, six songs Not bad I love the Brandy joint I love the Leon Thomas joint I do want to hear the Leon I like all of these joints
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah the Leon joint Is the Aaron Hall flip Okay Yeah I think this was the first joint that they released from this year This came out Yeah I'll play it though
Starting point is 00:34:42 It's still hard Yep The park on a crime Vision is coming and blind She wants a double CCCs All of her purse Promise you never leave me Me I'm gonna give you just what you deserve
Starting point is 00:34:58 She won't shop and sprees One of all that ring Shottie a brat She can be throwing a fit Kind of make a crazy on this I'm sure I'm sorry I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:35:18 I got to get to Leon real quick Please I started Face card on a black num MX car Run up in charge is about you Out of you Hey
Starting point is 00:35:39 Listen man Listen man Leon Thomas is on Leon Thomas won it had the best drop of the weekend. It ain't this one now. Yo, Leon Thomas became what Tyler Dollar Sign used to be. You know how if you saw featuring Todd Dollar Signs used like, yo, all right, whoever this is is here, let me hear what Ty did on this?
Starting point is 00:36:14 For sure. That's where Leon at now. Not bad at that take. As soon as you see it, yo, all right, let me go. I got to see what Leon Thomas did on this record. And he don't miss. I think saying that is disrespectful for Leon Thomas. Yeah, I never had that urgency to say, yo, Todd Dallis signs on this?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Oh, no. You're tripping out. You're tripping out. You're tripping out. You're absolutely bucked. He is an absolute classic to me, and he has not gotten back to that. Todd Dalla's on as a feature artist was a thing. No, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:36:36 There was an urgency because Todd out? Yes. You must have living two Americas. Yeah. I'm in the real one. No. Yeah. I miss that wave, too.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Let him fight. No. No. No. No, no. No, there's no fight. No. I don't think that happened.
Starting point is 00:36:54 You just see music totally differently. Yeah, that's it. I love Tidea side. It's been a long time since I rushed with Tadalai Dahl. of the future. But there was a point in time where he was absolutely the man.
Starting point is 00:37:02 He was popular, but there was a moment where you were like, yo, this new joint guy, Tadalasana. There was a moment where if you saw
Starting point is 00:37:07 Tadalasana featured on a song, it was, oh shit. You know what Tad does. Let's go to you. Whatever is this you talking about? I agree with you,
Starting point is 00:37:13 but what error is this? Are you talking about Jaded? That might have been towards the end of it. Jaded. 2017? I thought 2016. I thought 2016. I thought 2016.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Somewhere in there. Yeah, somewhere 1516. Yeah. Are you talking about the light? let's have six but not without their phone play Yeah Somewhere around there
Starting point is 00:37:36 That was a run, bro I'm challenging Parks' point Free TC is a great project My favorite Todd Dollar project And it's the closest He's come to fulfilling this potential to me I would say that
Starting point is 00:37:49 I think to talk about free TC In the same class as mutt Yeah No I wasn't doing that Would be But that's the only reason I say I think they're comparable to me.
Starting point is 00:38:00 No, no. I'm not with that. Free TC's amazing. AM and P.M. Yeah. It's hard to compare. And I don't think it really matters because Leon Thomas is signed to Todd Dallas on. True.
Starting point is 00:38:11 And let me just tell you, if I have a label, if I'm an artist and I sign a artist that start getting that type of blue flame on them, I'm going in the session and stealing some songs. Like, if I'm Fat Joe, still not a player, might. be my record in 90. Like, seriously. I'm taking it. I'm on it at least. See, I don't take it. I'm at least on.
Starting point is 00:38:38 If I'm Todd Dollar, I'm on Mutt remix. I'm stealing from... I kind of disagree with y'all. Go ahead. Because you go do all the press and shows and performances and all that shit with this. I'm gonna get my cut anyway. You have a blast.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Well, that's why I prefaced it with if I'm an artist. Because they're artists. Yeah. Well, work for Puff. If they're not artists, then yeah, go go. go do all the promo shit.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I'll be in the back. Somebody are getting a check. But these guys are artists already. I think Ty Dollar, I love Todd Dollar. But I think he could use one of these Leon leftovers. See, I feel like he should be giving shit to Leon, really. I feel like he should be writing and producing
Starting point is 00:39:17 and be like, oh, this one, you go ahead. You run around. I think this might be a case where the student might be better than the teacher. Oh, we kill. We call it. Bda, you're not a Tadda Lai Zai Vana. And now I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I love him on him whiskey. Cleeford or nah, that was a great moment. We like Todd Dallasan. He's great, but. I love Ty Dolosan. Ty had a nice little. He had a great run. I'm not mitigating his run.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Beach House. I'm not mitigating anything Todd Dallisan has done, but I can't aggrandize him to the position that Ty. That Leon Thomas is. Yeah. That ice is doing. Yeah. I think you need to go back and listen to Free T.C. again. That album was great.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I might have to give it a revisit. You weren't in the, club with mustard and Ty Dalla San came on. Disputing that. Yes, Todd Dallan had a run. He was everywhere. But I think, you know, to elevate him to the status that you guys are saying,
Starting point is 00:40:10 I can't give him that. Okay. Controversial B.I. Take. Okay. Spicy. Pretty spicy. I think Leon Thomas had the better, the best drop today, though. That 50 snippet. From a show.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Power. Power. Power. That shit is amazing. What's it called power? It's like the It's like a spin-off. Legacy, yeah. It's another stuff. It's a-thi-a-kill. It's a theme song, boy.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. And a documentary, apparently. Yeah. This was part seven, what was it, like, of the 50-City beef now? He responded on Instagram saying he's willing to write a, he said, I'm going to respond. He said, remember how quiet I get before I go after people, basically, and then he threatened a 50, I mean, a T-I-and- Tiny documentary. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Yeah. And he mentioned sexual assault allegations. He made a whole thing. And he deleted it, if I remember correctly, he Instagrammed and deleted. I think people to stop pointing that, like, because a lot of people say, oh, well, he deleted as if he takes it back. 50 deletes everything. Yeah, that's not a take back.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah, it's not a take. He posts it. He posts a lot. He lets the blogs grab it, let it garner the attention. It lives over there, and then he removes it off his page. It's not him walking anything back. It's part of his mystique. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:41:23 He does this with everything. No, no, I was going to say TI response. I was trying to pull up TI's response. because a lot of people thought that that would actually push... Yeah, dead it. Like, almost like, I'm going to scare you into not saying it. Tia basically was like, we're not afraid of a documentary.
Starting point is 00:41:40 We can go doc for doc. I'll make one about you too. He called him a fuck nigger and then said, let's go. And then tweeted a link to his music. So this feels like the thing that I was afraid of. It's going outside of music. Yeah, like, now we're going to make doc for... We're going to go dock for doc.
Starting point is 00:41:55 It's cool. I like a dog, though. I like a good dog. I like dogs more than music right now. But not like this. Those are the best docs. Revenge docs, though? I hate y'all.
Starting point is 00:42:07 That puff doc was out of here. It was great. I almost hate that how good that documentary is if you think about the reasons behind it. Like, I think that's corny. I think it's corny to make the Ti-T-I-Tinie dot about sexual assault allegations because of this. I think that's corny. I just think it's whack. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Can the ends justify the means? Like, let's just say the accusations are true. I'm allegedly. Let's just say that they're true. I don't even know the accusations. There are some accusations. They were dumb by all years ago. But let's say that they are true.
Starting point is 00:42:45 And justice for the victim, getting that story out, would that justify the corny shit that it took to get this route? Niggas got to stop using victims for their revenge. That's the thing. But I'm just saying. If that's what's what's going to be. And if you're going to do that, then I just don't want to hear it the justice for the victim. We had the same conversation.
Starting point is 00:43:03 And what Mark said to me was, well, none of those documentaries, all of them are trying to get money when you think about it that way, which is true. Absolutely. And I was kind of like, stop there, but I don't give a fuck. It's corny. I think it's corny. I agree with you. I hate the fact that people try to pretend like victims have anything to do. Nobody gives a fuck about the victim.
Starting point is 00:43:23 That's not in these situations. It has nothing to do with the victim. If you don't pretend it does. Come on, bro. He's just like, I got your ass now. I got some shit on you. But he'll say, he'll use the words, the victims and shit like that. He'll use that verbiage.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So it's still, no, if that shit's ass. And the fact that people want me to believe that a person that's doing stuff like that is a happy, like person, healthy, sane person is like, okay. Not necessarily. I'm not saying justice for Victor. I agree. My point is, if someone is out here committing these acts, then yes, I want to see the job. That's what I'm saying. I want to see the doc
Starting point is 00:43:57 Even if it's corny shit that it took to get to the doc If someone is really doing these things I want to see a good doc about cornish shit That should be put out. Yeah, I think, and I'm not talking about Tia, I'm just saying anybody.
Starting point is 00:44:09 If you're out here doing this shit Like the puff shit So what it came from corny shit He was doing some of this shit. Yeah, that's right, ice. It's the right thing. I think both of what y'all say in the true. I think regardless of the reason for doing it,
Starting point is 00:44:23 if it gives justice to victims, great. that doesn't mean it's not corny. Right. I want to remind you of allegedly what happened. It was almost like a thing where, and you correct me if I'm saying it wrong, because it's old, but it was like that they would have nights where they would bring women back in their bed. And then it was stories of like being drugged or giving ecstasy or being taking advantage of.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So instead of it being just a normal me and my wife fuck bitches together that they're, you know, being forced into it. And I remember one of the girls that got real popular behind it, Like she was like shut down. Like everything she said was not. And I don't even want to go into that too much because that bitch will be in my D. Yeah, I love when podcasts do that. Sister, please.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Go into it and then don't know it. They give all the old tea that nobody's talking. The reason why I'm saying I don't want to go into is because she was championing her own shit and the type of person she is, that bitch would be in my DM and 10 minutes after this shit drop. And it's like I don't remember word for word. What happened to you, sister? I'm sorry that happened to you.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Okay. Allegedly, if it happened or it didn't happen. But they dog. They date. everybody dog powder but that's what people do the victim so that's not like that doesn't negate the fact whether it was true or not right right but t i and tiny won whatever lawsuit whatever whatever they won so according to you know the law or whatever they're innocent you know as of then that's where everybody kind of left it like it wasn't true you know what i mean do you guys mind if i hear the leon thomas song yeah yeah there we go here we go uh here we go no God damn. Goddame.
Starting point is 00:45:57 No unto this what we're here for. We know. God damn. I put that pain in the pot. Icecumes watch a lot. Oh, oh shit. Now look at what we got. I turn the brick to a drop.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Oh shit. Brick to a spot. Your sister into a dot. Do it bust to a plot. No bread to a lot. Slap box to the drop. Throw the stab wound to a shot. I know magic.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Bag magic. Brud magic. Get the douche. Bitch get the ooze. You board this. This shit's fire. Nah, Parks just put a little battery
Starting point is 00:46:47 in my back, low key. Parks just put a little New York battery in my back. I was ready to let this topic just flow by smoothly. But I don't know now. Hold up now.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Hold up. Hold up. I think too hard for a TV show. Yeah. Yeah. So my question, I don't care. I'm not watching it.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Tarican's up. I don't care about that. My question to y'all. Because somebody up here said 50 can't probably even make a distrax. I might have said that. My bad. I might have said that too.
Starting point is 00:47:15 And I said that. said that I would never bet against somebody like 50 when it comes to a disc track. And I don't know if this is a disc track. However, if it were to be, y'all said 50 can't make a disc track? I said, I don't know if 50 can still, he has a rapping solo. Yeah, we just said he's like in shape, like in rap shape. Yeah, that's all. So what I'm battling T.I.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Got it. Why doesn't he, when you hear this, the first thing you think is why the fuck can't you just make a song towards Tia? That's what I do. Well, when I hear this, I'm asking, in the event that this were a disc track, It would be hard. That's the way you do it. That would end all of that shit that shit the Tia is talking about.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Very fast. Very fast. If I was putting the dish, that's the way I'm going to do it though. Quickly. Like if he starts saying some slick shit on this and one of these singing niggins come in crooning. Can you start this over?
Starting point is 00:48:02 It's towards the end. You want me to start for the top top? Yes. Yeah, yeah. No one told us what we're in for. His tone is this crazy. The bass line, boy. Oh, don't you let us.
Starting point is 00:48:13 He got it wrong. Dermani got a great. Cab his pen if this is coming out. You do what? He came for me only. He signed a five contract. Give us far since love. No one told us what we here for.
Starting point is 00:48:29 I'm a magician. I put that pain in the pipe. Ice-cute watch a lot. Now look at what we got. I turn a brick to a drop. A feet's brick to a spot. God damn. Your sister into a dot.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Who's through for us to a plot? The little break to a lot. Slap-by to the dot. Trying to stab onto a shot. I know mag sit back mags, blue magic, get to do you bitch, get to ooo me, I'm back for my dope boy grandma, your daddy made your mama eat every box in the line like, fricks it, peeps it, keeps it on a lot, but everybody know.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Five, previously on power. That's for a TV show? Yeah, bro. Have you heard the other things? Yeah. I know you don't watch, crazy. I'm just saying, these sheds is heat. These shits is heat, my nigga.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah. Like, the other ones are heat. Yeah. I like the cane and theme song. The Tommy shit. He ain't got a bad theme song. They don't have a corny one. Yeah, he don't.
Starting point is 00:49:33 They all crazy, actually. So why can't? Yeah, y'all stopped playing with 50 when it comes to some of these distra. We were, we, it was a little crazy up here. It may be. I know we were in the midst of the T.I. Barrage, so we were in the moment. I still take T.I.
Starting point is 00:49:45 in that battle if it happened. Well, because I don't think 50 got the time to go do this. five times. But in the event that he did, that sounds nuts. That's fire. That was amazing. Yeah. That's my favorite drop this week. It's a minute to half long. I'll fuck it. No, that was crazy. Yeah, if I'm Todd Dole,
Starting point is 00:50:03 I'm doing a whole best of both worlds project with Leon Thomas. I'm doing like when M. and Royce put that shit. I'm doing an album. I'm getting out the way. You run. You got it. You two softless. Artists. Artists are not as selfless.
Starting point is 00:50:18 But he's an exact too. Yeah, but he's not. artist too. True. He's an artist exact. I'll be just doing my own
Starting point is 00:50:24 little what I love doing fun shit and let the fucking young wolf go ahead. Yeah, you make a point. I wouldn't do that shit.
Starting point is 00:50:31 You got a good point. You don't want to pop up in the war. I would be all up in the videos. I might do that though. I might do that. All right, are you walking on stage
Starting point is 00:50:40 when they went? Yeah. Fuck, yes. Okay, there you go. All right, I'm just checking. Come on. Some more people put out trash.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Come on. You're trying to big up, y'all trying to big up the drops that we enjoyed. but it was a trash day. It was a bad. It was garbage day.
Starting point is 00:50:53 What I was dropped? There was a lot of singles. This one, this one's going to hurt. Yeba dropped. I didn't like it either, man. I really wanted, I love Yeba. It was too... She's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I absolutely love her down. She's super talented. This just was too... It was too white poppy. Which Corey said vanilla is better heard you. I'm like, okay. I think I can say it's too white, but... Yeah, too vanilla.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Too, though. For me. I felt that way, too. Yeah. It's not bad music. Like, she's too good of a musician and singer. She was just going for something different. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Just go around. It wasn't the one, blue eyes soul. It was a little bit more poppy. Yeah, it wasn't melancholy, yeah, but who I love. Same. But I'll still be there for the next year ever release. Yeah, but if you're listening, I love you. And congratulations on dropping a new project.
Starting point is 00:51:43 This one wasn't for me, but she probably knew that already. Yeah, yeah. Jeremiah put some trash out. I saw it there. I didn't hit play. Noma. Not on my album. It's old.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's old. It was in my new releases. I think he just dropped it on streaming because I had this. Well, he could undrop that. Damn. He could mail that to himself. That was a bunch of hot garbage. Hot, hot garbage, too.
Starting point is 00:52:07 He's too talented to even want people to hear that. Yeah, Jets. Noma came out in 2014. It's a mixtape. Oh, okay. That makes a lot more sense. Got it. It might not have been trash in 2014.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Yeah, that's why I was like, when I saw it, I'm like, wait. Even that album cover was trash. Not on my album yet. 45, I'm looking at your album covers and your album artwork to them. So I did that my whole life. But even more so now. I feel like some more trash came out. What else?
Starting point is 00:52:33 There was some decent music, though. Denzel Curry put out a compilation. Are you up on Denzel Curry? I love Denzel Curry. This was too, not for me. Was it for you? It was like festival rap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:45 A lot of distorted vocals. A lot of, you know, I mean, a lot of features. It's a lot of Fergs on there. Shout to Furg. Juicy J's on there. A bunch of artists I'm not familiar with. It's easy to listen to.
Starting point is 00:52:56 It's only eight tracks. But I enjoyed what I heard. It's going to work out. It's going to work out. It's going to work at like Coachella, one of those kind of rolling loud settings. Yeah, I can see that. Is he one of those acts?
Starting point is 00:53:07 Yes. Yeah, he's definitely one of them. He's super fired. He can wrap his ass off. He dames sure a king. I just, when it's like too much alternative-y sounding, it's not for me. Are any of you guys going in?
Starting point is 00:53:19 Coachella? Are there any Coachella people in the room? I love festivals, but I will not be going to Coachella. Roots Picnic? Maybe. Roots Picnic, I'll be there for them. Yeah, yeah. Dreamville.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Maybe. I don't think it's over this year. Oh, I thought they were rebranding it or something, but Cole's going on tour, man. Got it. So I don't think that's going to happen. Or his date or his date for that area be Dreamville. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Oh. You know they didn't announce that, right? What? What beat out you said? Coals are on tour? No, that's... I'm not talking about the tour Dreamville.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah. They did not announce that. Not, what? That was the last one last year. They did say something like that, yeah. They didn't know Dreamville. No, that's public knowledge. But they announced the Dreamville.
Starting point is 00:54:03 No, they announced Dreamville Festas done. Yeah, they did. No, that was last year. Yeah, that was the final one. They said something I rebranded or something. Yeah, they put something out. It put feelers out there, but I don't know if it's going to come to pass. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I'm not going to know. festival, no way. I'm not going to know. I don't like people. He ain't going outside with people. I'm about saying. I mean, but rich niggas sit at the festivals alone in their own little tent. You might get your old tent.

Starting point is 00:58:21 Okay. Free ads. Free ads. They were. They write that down, please. Jesus, Mary. Get that out of here. All right, let me see.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I know it's some more trash out here. Hold up. They keep interrupting me, but it's trash out there. The guy Ikeem dropped. Who? Acume Ali. What's his name? Okay, you're going to get fired.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Why? We're going to get fired today. I don't know what name I can't say. You can't say Akeem Ali. Why, y'all don't like you? An hour one. He's not big enough? Yes, unless he pays.
Starting point is 00:58:53 I didn't know. Who's going to pay if we just come right off the hip with fucking Akeem, Ali, and La Russi. Come on, this is it payola, niggins. The fuck is you going. We are selling these broadcasts. Farrell clapped back at Kanye's gospel run. Yeah. He dropped a gospel album with Voices of Fire, which when it first,
Starting point is 00:59:16 first came on, I thought it was just people singing over random Feral Beats, because I can't remember what this baseline is from, but it's from something else. He ain't your ball. He ain't your three. He ain't your two. It's a whole gospel album with a choir. okay but all for our production
Starting point is 00:59:58 I mean is push it coming on in some point he is not his malice coming on oh did that turn this shit more trash
Starting point is 01:00:11 A park more trash Grammy Grammy yeah no no the gospel Grammy yeah
Starting point is 01:00:17 yeah he might get that you'll be right we're gonna go play over there don't worry about it and this is Ophineem that's what it is yeah Trash Been
Starting point is 01:00:26 Going to the days Where I'm forcing a fucking album opinion on some of this shit It's trash You're not wrong Let's see here Oh shit Chef G came out
Starting point is 01:00:37 Yeah the song It's not that great I fuck with Chef G Yeah I do too but the song isn't He's a Republican No it's not a good record He's a Republican zone
Starting point is 01:00:47 He's a Republican song We love Chef G Joe buddy Hey That was a real good impression. And a couple of R&B slabs came out, but none of it's trash. Yeah. None of his trash.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Any more trash we miss? Any trash? Any old trash we missed? For real, I missed the days where you could just come to work and just call some shit trash. It was a lot this week. A lot of trash. I ain't even listened to. A lot of Lucey's by people that aren't good rappers.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Okay, yeah, no. Yep. Not today. Not today. I knew it was a bad week when I seen all types of Van Halen and fucking who on my new music singles. I was like, all right. Slow week. Did you guys see the debate they're having about
Starting point is 01:01:28 rappers without a classic? Yes. Yes, I did. I've been very excited about that conversation waiting to have it with y'all. It is a spirited conversation that they're having out there. It's tricky. So a list went around. He wrote, he said, the top 10 all-time great emcees without
Starting point is 01:01:45 classic solo album. He's an idiot. You're on 10-1 or 1-10 to 1? 10-1. 10-1. Number 10, cannabis. True. Number nine, Andre 3000. That's an asterisk. No, that's wrong. Well, it depends on, unless you mean rap albums.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Solo. Are you saying solo? His solo album is a classic album. That is incorrect. He might see this solo. The love below is a classic. It's not a solo album. It's not a solo album.
Starting point is 01:02:14 It's not even a rap album. Who else is on it? That part I agree with it. That's an outcast album. If he says solo rap album, I can see it. You know what Jones has a feature on it. It's a solo album. You're saying a rap album.
Starting point is 01:02:24 It's not. And it got her in the rock and roll All of Fame. It got her in the Music Hall of Fame. Okay. If your one album is great enough, then it don't matter the fucking genre. It succeeds all.
Starting point is 01:02:32 But I have a... If we're talking rap albums. But the argument is rap albums, I can see you saying Andre doesn't have a... That's not a rap album. But that wasn't a comment. They said rappers, which he is.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Emcees without a classic solo. Without a classic album. I'm with you. I'm telling y'all... I assume he meant rap. There's no other way to put Andre on that list because Love Below is a classic. Can you buy the Love Below by itself?
Starting point is 01:02:52 No, but that's, I mean... It's not a solo album, that's it. And that's what they're saying. I want you on. That's what they're... It's an outcast album. If you buy that, Big Boy... It's an Andre album.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Fam, go buy the love below. You put them together. It's an outcast album. You cannot buy them separately. It's an outcast double disc. That's what the... That speaker box the love below. You can't separate them just because we want to say we like disc two versus just one or whatever
Starting point is 01:03:15 to can separate them. I'm talking about two different CDs. Yeah, you're talking about consumerism. Right. Well, Andre got the Grammy for him. Hey, y'all and shit. I mean, it was Andre. It wasn't outcast, it got it.
Starting point is 01:03:25 He went up on his stage. You're talking about... Because he wasn't there. You're talking about consumerism. I'm talking about what it, the creation of making an album by yourself. And that's what he did. 30 plus minutes of music by one artist. There's nobody else there.
Starting point is 01:03:40 He went in there. He made one. How they sold it? I don't give a fuck about it. All right, cool. But go ahead. Yeah, keep on. Hey, Buster rhymes.
Starting point is 01:03:46 He has debatable. I'll let you finish. And we want to finish the list? Okay. He also's got a bunch of near-classes. He doesn't have. Yeah, Big Bang is great, for example, but it's not a classic. He does not have a classic.
Starting point is 01:03:58 The coming, they are. All of them shit. I agree with that. Yeah, I agree. Seven, ludicrous. I also agree. Yeah, I probably agree. Great albums, not classic albums.
Starting point is 01:04:13 A lot of great singles. A lot of classic singles. No, ludicrous don't have a classic album. You don't. I don't think he has a unanimous classic album. He got a bunch of great albums, though. Yeah, it's great. He doesn't have a classic.
Starting point is 01:04:23 He's got at least three hours that I think are writing that mix. We know what classic is, right? Yeah. Well, all classics aren't created equal, though. Not according to Jermaine Dupree, who came up here and said, a classic is a classic, and if it ain't, it ain't. Yeah. And he used that, what he used for an example, we were talking about Carl Thomas emotional,
Starting point is 01:04:42 and he said, is that in the same ballpark as Confessions? And the old room said, no. He said, well, it ain't a classic. I think there's a cult classic and a classic, though. Yes, I agree. I agree. Cold classic, I think there's personal classics. No. I agree.
Starting point is 01:04:54 No, that's your favorite. I don't think that's fair. It's just like in sports. Just Hall of Famers, right? Everybody's not the same level, even the Hall of Fame. Max players. Everybody's not the same. There's always going to be a best among the best. So, like, I don't, like, I'm okay saying Carl Thomas is a classic album and still acknowledging that it's not fucking confessions. Like I can say confessions, ain't thriller. Facts.
Starting point is 01:05:15 And they all, and they all classics to me. What makes a classic album? Impact, influence. Longevity. I think it's one of the biggest. Musicality, of course. Not necessarily. I don't think musicality is that important.
Starting point is 01:05:25 You don't think so? Not necessarily. So while we hear, the music has to sound good. It can have a classic moment. Musicality and music sounding good are two different things. I was going to say, I use them interchangeably then. They're not. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Someone could be a very good musician and not make music that you want to hear. And there could be something that is not particularly musically profound in terms of execution, great musicianship, but it's still a classic album. You have an example of that? where do you want to start? In rap? In rap? A lot of early
Starting point is 01:05:58 Ferrell stuff wasn't musically that deep. He ate me a moon up, bro. Well, I think those are maybe classic moments, but might necessarily be classic albums. I think Clips First album is a classic album. I do so. I believe so as well. I think a lot of stuff that Swiss did
Starting point is 01:06:12 is not musically profiling at all. You said something about Swiss last week, and it rubbed me the wrong way. It really grounded my gears. Go ahead. Because, like, Swiss's music, you can still play to this day and it still sounds good. Yeah, but the musicality isn't great. Would be poor.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Yeah. I disagree with that. Okay. You like the Cassio? I'm not even talking about the sounds that he picked. The actual playing, the keyboard playing wasn't particularly great. A lot of times it was very, even DMX shit, Rough Rider's Anthem is as simple as one finger. But it's still a great record.
Starting point is 01:06:46 And that's back to my point. That's exactly my point. is musicality does not necessarily infer classic. It doesn't have to be like super technical. Do you think that has to be? If you're talking about musicality, you're talking about a certain level of proficiency.
Starting point is 01:06:59 No, you are. All right, let me, let me do what my brother Ice would do. Let's look up musicality for a minute. As I understand musicality, it is about the performance, it's about talent, it's about, virtuosity, yeah, as opposed to it sounding good. Some songs could be very basic, whisper songs.
Starting point is 01:07:15 I mean, there are things you could make that are very basic that are amazing, but I wouldn't say that that demonstrates musicality. I'm not saying he's Beethoven, but I'm just saying like, I think it's just replaying the semantic Olympics. Yeah, but I think that's why we talk about each other. I think that's why we talk about each other. Musicality is the sensitivity to knowledge of or innate talent for music,
Starting point is 01:07:36 encompassing the ability to interpret and express music with emotional depth, technical skill, and rhythmic precision. It involves understanding phrasing, dynamics, and tone to convey emotional to tell a story through performance, dancing, or listening. That does eliminate, eliminate, Rough Rider's anthem. Yes. That's not musicality,
Starting point is 01:07:52 even though it sounds good. My biggest thing with classic, I mean, I think the definition of classic is something that is above anything that's happening in its time period with a component of longevity,
Starting point is 01:08:04 I think, is the definition of classic somewhere in the ballpark. So I think those are the two most important things. Is it better than everything else and does it last a long time? And for me, classic, it has to be like a game changer as well. Do you believe in instant classics?
Starting point is 01:08:18 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Maddoch was an instant classic. Get Rich was an instant classic. Yeah. Love Supreme was an instant classic. I mean, I think you have an instant classic.
Starting point is 01:08:26 I know it just says the music writer. Ready to die was an instant classic. That's a great example. That was a debate. Like when I was still doing music journalism, like, it's like, are we willing to give this to a 10 or a five mic? Whatever the number is in the venue was like, because the question was always,
Starting point is 01:08:40 could we project this 10 years from now? Are we going to still be, will this still matter? Will we still be listening to it? That's the challenge. Not is this better than everybody else. That's for me, like a lot of times the difference between something getting four and a half and five was always, or nine and a half and ten was always like,
Starting point is 01:08:52 will this matter in a decade? Yeah, and it's hard to know that. And so to me, an instant classic, I think we give that out too fast. But when I heard Blueprint, I knew it was a classic. When I heard, like you said, ready to die, I'm emmatic, I knew these were classic. Good kid, mad city. Good kid is a perfect example.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I mean, that to me was like an obvious one. Get rich. Yeah. See him 101. Yeah, that's another one. But all of those aren't on the same level. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:09:15 They're not created equal. Like, good kid mad city isn't illmatic. but they all belong in that park. They're at the same party, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The levels once you get to the party, I don't care about. But everybody has to be able to get in this party.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Where are we at on the list? We were at Ludacris. That was seven. Word of the mouth is update, though. Go ahead. Number six, Inspector Deck. For sure. Love that.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Five is Black Thought. I agree. Yeah, solo, yeah, for sure. Four is fabulous. I hate it. And those are probably the two best rappers in the world without a classic at Farrow March. Well, at the first time,
Starting point is 01:09:52 if it hadn't got yanked off shelves, I think it would be revered. I agree. Different. I agree with that. And here's just one asterisk on Black Thought is that, particularly after Malik and Dice are around, Roots albums,
Starting point is 01:10:06 I mean, he's only one rapping. Fair, but by that point, to me, I don't know if any of those roots albums were quite in the same category. Would you say, like phrenology and all that stuff the one right before phrenology
Starting point is 01:10:21 the one that had Eric about doing it things fall apart things fall apart Malik was still on with that that's true he was and then by and then you're right and phenology is not a classic
Starting point is 01:10:33 so even though it's great the park smoking shit this episode you're all gonna keep challenging it I'm not telling it through y'all ain't learned you back him now you're still trying I don't care
Starting point is 01:10:42 I don't care he's right damn boy I was Yeah, yeah. No, he's right. No, he's right. You got me.
Starting point is 01:10:51 He's right. What we're going to do? Yeah, good one. All right. Keep on. Like I said, Forrest Fabulous, no argument from me.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Yeah, I agree. I'm with you on that. Agreed, 100%. Three Jada Kiss. No argument from me. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I love Kiss, but I don't think he has a classic album.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Jada Kiss is. Very good albums. Very good album. He got, yeah. He's the Alan Ivers in a rap. Like, he's checked all the boxes, just don't got that championship ring. Okay
Starting point is 01:11:17 Call it in Yeah Yeah Two method man No argument for me No argument First album was dope The second album was dope
Starting point is 01:11:26 That's where it stopped for me So neither of them were quite classic So No one of class about to Cal but Classic That's what I'm saying Black guy was good Does that count
Starting point is 01:11:35 Well that's so No No To Cal though man Y'all is a good album Classic moment I think too Like coming off the Mary record And Mary record
Starting point is 01:11:44 It's not Yeah Wait, that came before Because Mary, that came out 95 No, it's on, I mean No, this is a different version Yeah, different version The remix came out afterwards
Starting point is 01:11:53 Right And then one is Grand Puba Damn Brand Nubia man That first Grand Puba album was really good But also is Greg Puba Really a better rapper The other nine people we just said
Starting point is 01:12:05 Don't be stupid, Martin You just said at Grand Puba Wait, you think Grand Puba's better than Black Thought? That's your argument? No, but you said nine other people Grand Puba. It was a top ten list I'm saying he's not better in all nine of nine of
Starting point is 01:12:14 better than a lot of people. Yes, but he's not better than all nine of them is what I'm saying. I don't think it was ranking in the MC. No, it wasn't, I don't think it was ranking. Yeah, no. He was 10 to 1. I thought he was saying
Starting point is 01:12:24 Gregoruba is the greatest rapper of all the time without a school. Oh, hell. That's what I was, that's what I'm saying. I was like, come on. I don't think. I don't think you see. Very good, very good rapper.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I love Red Puba. Just not getting enough enough fucking respect. Before y'all, I'm not taking nothing away from Grimwell, he's one of my favorites. I was just saying, he's not better than Andre and Black Thought. Fair enough. nine on this list.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Well, that's what I said at the beginning. I took the dude's idiot. Is there anybody that that list is missing? Tretch. Okay. Yeah. Not bad at that. Not bad at that.
Starting point is 01:13:00 I'm not trying to have my jersey card for both. But okay, fine. But he just also didn't put out very much solo music. Is everybody up here of the opinion? I'm asking, just asking. Is everybody up here of the opinion that Drake has a classic album? Yes. I think Drake has a class.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I think he has a couple. I think he got more than one. He got a couple of classics. And if you count mixed tapes so far going. Who's moaning? What's up? Mola. You're all right?
Starting point is 01:13:24 I didn't say anything. Fellas, keep going. I thought somebody was moaning on the Drake Classic talk. That one used to stir shit up. It did. The Drake Classic talk. Well, that's why I asked it. No, we moved past that as a culture and a society.
Starting point is 01:13:35 What are the classics? I would hope so. Albums. Of his? Yeah. To me, take care. If you're reading this is too late. It's a classic.
Starting point is 01:13:42 It's take care of views for me. I don't love views like that same way. It's a very good album, but I wouldn't put it quite there. I think Take Care is the one. I think it's the only one. That's the only one for me. I think it's pretty impossible to debate that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:53 I think that's the only one. Yeah. You don't count so far gone? I got Take Care so far gone. That was a game changing. So far gone is. Nothing is the same is incredible too. Nothing was the same.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's a classic album to me too. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good one too. Yeah. Go look. Read it. I think he's got a lot of nine out of two. I think he's got a lot of amazing albums.
Starting point is 01:14:10 But for me, again, the classic question. And Drake makes so much good music. It's a different bar. Maybe I'm being unfair. But for me, take care as an undisputed classic and everything else is like right under that. Let me ask you all. To y'all, there's a classic on a classic,
Starting point is 01:14:23 can you have skips? Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. For sure. Yes. The riller has a skip. Every, I don't believe in.
Starting point is 01:14:30 What's the skip on grilla? The joint with Paul McCartney. That's not. It's the end of that. It doesn't fit as much, but it's not a skip. The girl's mind is not a skiff. The girl's in mind is not a great record. Isn't that the last.
Starting point is 01:14:42 song of them? Yes, his first album was a classic. D.M.X for sure. Absolutely. I don't skip. Undoubt, instant. Instant. Yeah, facts. Ice, you were saying?
Starting point is 01:14:52 I'm trying to think. Yes, I think you can have skips on a classic. For sure. I don't think a classic. I don't think classic. I don't think classic applies perfect.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Yeah, I don't believe it was flawless. Yeah. I think there are some flawless albums though that are classics. Really? Yeah. I think every album has a skip on there.
Starting point is 01:15:10 I just had this conversation with Jay Juan. I think every album. What's the Skip-O-O-Matic? One time for your mind. You think that's a great song? I just can't. Really? I'm stunned.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Like, I could live without that song. It's not a bad record, but it's not like... See, maybe we just... I'm not mad at that day. You think it's a bad record? It's not a horrible word. I didn't say that. He said skip.
Starting point is 01:15:33 It's a skip. I'm not mad if somebody were to skip that song. Bad record. Skip don't mean bad record, though. No, that's two different things. What does it mean? What does it mean? A skip is just, I don't need this.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I don't need to hear it. Yeah. I can still enjoy this project without that. Don't make it bad. Hmm. Hmm. Back to a Paul McCartney record. Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 01:15:55 I think the Paul McCartney fits that one. Okay. But I think there are albums that don't have any. I'm with you. Yeah, I think the albums don't have any even have a skip on it. I don't think there's a skip on. Oh, y'all don't think there's a skip on. Oh, if you take rap out, there's a lot of skips.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Donnell Jones, where I want to be is without a skip. There's not one on there. Mary Blodge. Mary Blodge is. Maybe two albums that don't have a skip on it for me. My life and what's the 401 for me? And I thought a remix album in, too. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:16:18 If we're talking about that, jazz, I mean, to me, Love Supreme, obviously, got those skips. All four acts are great. I mean, I can think of a billion. You know, when you start getting the 13, 14 tracks, it gets tougher. Yeah, I mean, even then it comes to rap, like, my favorite rapper is Jay-Z. There's moments I skip on his albums. Say, Nause, too, you know?
Starting point is 01:16:35 Yes. But then it's a lot. I don't skip shit, though. Like, I don't skip nothing on Black album. Not one song anymore. Oh, change clothes is terrible. I used to, even going back, I grew to like, I think we had this a long time ago. I wasn't really feeling threat like that.
Starting point is 01:16:51 But then the more I've really listened to it, oh shit, he's killing this. He's taught, like, yeah. Beat out, there's no time you want to hear Change Clothes. For what? It doesn't belong in that album. Like, you can literally take that off and the album's still great. Change Clothes got to stay on that. It's a great song, that's what I mean.
Starting point is 01:17:07 That's what I mean. Like, if sometimes Skip is just about your preference. Yeah. Which is different than like a track. That's why I've made equated as bad. To me, like, if it's just like I don't like that song as much. Like, I don't like testify on, on B, comments B, right? I just don't like it. What?
Starting point is 01:17:19 I love testifying. I get it. I get it. It's a great song. I just don't like to hear it all the time. That's what I say. But it's not a skip. It's just not my preference.
Starting point is 01:17:25 That's why I make the distinction between, like, a skip and a bad record. I don't think nobody in the world has ever said that about. Wow. I know. I know. I get, I'm the minority on it. It's a great song. If you listen.
Starting point is 01:17:35 You don't listen. Because there's a twist of it in that once I know how it ends. Okay. I don't need to hear it every time. I get it. I get it. Yeah. She did it.
Starting point is 01:17:41 I don't need to hear that 50 more time. She did it. Yeah. Sure. Okay. But like, if you listen to Blueprint 3, I'm not playing Empire State of Miles. I'm not playing a lot of songs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:51 You and I like, we play him more. So he and I are in a minority about that. I liked Blueprint 3 a lot more than most people. I like this. I like this conversation. It's not a classic conversation. All right. Just leave it to classics.
Starting point is 01:18:04 But I'm just saying like, you skip records. You skip most of it. Word. Blueprint 3 is with a fucking the Russ record I like, right? No. You took my back to my Macon Carter. You took my fucking God.
Starting point is 01:18:19 That whole album throw away. Yeah. Yeah, you're talking about fucking you know I got it. Yeah, throw that whole album. What's the one blueprint three? That's a shit of a blueprint. Empire State of Mind. Run this guy.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Stars gore. That's an auto tune. That's the auto tune. On to the next. The joint where he's killing beans and all them at the opening. Don't already this to you. Oh, that's not. You got already home on there.
Starting point is 01:18:38 It's some trash. I love already home. Already home is one of my favorite songs of all time. Already home is on BlueBron 3? Yes. Oh yeah, no, Blueprint 3 got heat on it. That's a good. By the way, welcome to Joe.
Starting point is 01:18:48 He'll clown you for like two minutes and it'll be, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit was fired. I'm thinking a Magna Carter. That shit was ass. Bottom three holes. It's not fair. Bottom three holes. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:18:59 That may be the other than Kingdom come, that might be the worst. And four, four, four. Kingdom come is way better. Kingdom is way. Those are the two. Those are the two boxes. All right, we're getting too passionate. Let's slow us down.
Starting point is 01:19:08 And I saw you slipping 4-4-4. That's blasphemy. It's a great album, man. That's an amazing fucking album. You had a Samson. And I ain't even a big... And I ain't even no big whole thing. That shit, all in.
Starting point is 01:19:19 I don't care. What do you like on there? All of it. He confused. I'm like, that's a good album, man. No, it's not. No, it's not. If you would have...
Starting point is 01:19:28 If you would have erased Jayze's name from that and put Fabulous's name on there, you would call it a classic. Fab would have never drop that. The first June, the Justin, like, the first timemer. like the first journal that. I don't care what y'all saying. You shouldn't be putting a guy that we just said doesn't have a classic album in a
Starting point is 01:19:42 JZ conversation. I'm just saying if you would have put that erase the names and put somebody else on there. It probably would have been a classic. A great fab album. No, it wouldn't. No, it wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:19:53 No, it wouldn't. I don't think Madden Carter's as bad as people make it out to be. It's not a great. It also has, it also has The bad JZ album. Arguably the worst beat drop in the history of beat drops
Starting point is 01:20:02 on Holy Grill. Yes. Yeah. Picasso baby on there Like, come on. Tom Ford. That's my song. That's my song.
Starting point is 01:20:12 I love that song. Fuck up this world. And then I can listen, nothing else on there until maybe on the run with Beyonce. No. No. I said maybe.
Starting point is 01:20:18 No, on the run is. I like the opening. I like beaches better. I like beaches better. It's cool. I like that shit to be talking. And then I'm good. Oh, like Beach is better.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Then I go to, then I turn the album off. Who do you think has the most solo classics? Is it Jay Z? Kanye. Oh, that's a good question. Most solo classics. Connie was.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I think it's chasing. Well, hold on, hold on. Kanye, we say, are y'all saying three or four? Four. I'm assuming you're saying the first three plus... Five. Plus twisted fantasy. 808s?
Starting point is 01:20:47 Yeah, 808 might be in that conversation. 808 is in that conversation. But 808, I realize it's cilantro. You either love it or hate it. So let's say four, because those are like uncontroversial right now. Now let's go to Hove. Reasonable Doubt. Yep.
Starting point is 01:20:57 Blueprint. Blueprint. Black album. Any other classic. I don't put... I don't put... American... For me too.
Starting point is 01:21:03 And I like American Gangsta, too. For me, those two are also in there. Volume one is his third best. I love volume one. Volume one. It gets so disrespectful. Yeah, I agree with you. And that.
Starting point is 01:21:12 So to me, they're in the same. It just depends, to me, Hove and Kanye just depends on the extra albums, what you think. Like, if you love 808s, then you might put Yeh up there. For me, American Gangster and, you know, it's like a slept-on classic. They puts Hove above him in that.
Starting point is 01:21:26 But they both in the same conversation. Anybody else in that conversation? No, it's got three. Tribe has, oh, we're talking solo, though, solo. No, it's got, yeah. Nause has got maybe four We got Illmatic Are you, it was written guy?
Starting point is 01:21:39 Illmatic? Yeah, it was a ring guy, okay It's Stillmatic overrated now in 10 years later In terms of the classic conversation Okay, so still there So still Madic? Hell yeah And then he got at least one hit boy classic too, right?
Starting point is 01:21:50 I'm not like magic I love the one with, what is it called? You're all speeding again Slow down. If there's a fight to be at then how do you feel about Stillmatic? Stillmatic is cool, not a classic album? Absolutely a classic album.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Definitely a classic album. You know what? I might be speaking from a level bias because I'm not the biggest Nause guy, so I'll tap out to that. All the Rayfar party is, I'll tap out for that. I'll forgive him for that. I actually got a look back.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Is that? No, no. I get why people, some people thought that still mad at you got an extra push just because of ether and because of the moment. But when you go back and listen to that album now, it's still, to me, it holds up. I've actually listened to the album
Starting point is 01:22:26 in the last few months. It holds up. Not a classic. Again, that's a different bar that we're speaking about. I wouldn't die on that hill, but. I think life is. as good as Borela classic, but... I think life is good is better than Stillmatic.
Starting point is 01:22:38 I do too. In terms of classic conversation, I think... I think it's a better album. I'm missing something. All right. Life is good. Life is good. It's great.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Life is good. Life is good. It's better than Still Maddo. What is on... In terms of classic. What is on... That was his here, my dear. Yeah, I mean, I think...
Starting point is 01:22:58 And I love Stillmatic. I just think Stillmatic has a... Like you said, skips... There's a few songs of Stillmatic that don't hold up as well. Yeah. I think the latter half, the album kind of gets a little bit murky,
Starting point is 01:23:06 but overall I really enjoy that album. It's about you 20 years old this year. And maybe it's too early to look at the hit boy stuff, but I think there's at least at one classic in one that. I like magic a lot. I like magic. That's my favorite one. Yeah. I love Kingsesies too, but magic is up there.
Starting point is 01:23:22 All you're glazing now. And, yo, you can't forget Kendrick. You're talking about artists with multiple prices. Oh, how many is Kendrick got like four? Shit. Yeah. Kendra got like, let's see. All of them.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Good kid. Pimp, damn. You all going crazy. You all are going absolutely crazy. He got at least four. It's almost time for my favorite part. I'm not going to lie. I absolutely, you know, I do not fuck with the Pimper Butterfly.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Why? But to deny that album, like, there's just impact like y'all spoke about, longevity, all of that shit. I can't even do that. You can't not call that in the past album. So, damn, the Pimper Butterfly, good kid. That's three. I think Mr. Moran is like a four and a half, Mike. That's a good album.
Starting point is 01:24:01 I wouldn't put it in the classic. Not classic. I think JNX is knocking on the door. That's the one. You think it's better than Mr. Morrell? Yes. Y'all love G&X way more than I do, but I think Kendra got three in a possible.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Yeah, I'm not mad. And if you start, Section 80, should be in that conversation. Can I ask, since we started with your music, how many Joe Button classics are in your opinion? In my opinion? Yeah. 17.
Starting point is 01:24:25 I still can't believe you can't do you. 17. That makesapes our albums. It don't matter. Anything I have. You know what I mean? That movie music, too. Since you're asking me.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Team changer. Move music two, three. Music three, all of loss. So you guys say he has three classics? Yes. How many do you say? None of my music is going to be recognized by the public as a classic. That's why I want to know how your friends feel.
Starting point is 01:24:45 I love you. Oh, they love me. Parks, how many do you say? One, two, three. Three. You say three as well. How many you say you got? Two, four, and some love loss.
Starting point is 01:24:58 Some. Some love. Yeah. The good stuff. I give Joe one. You say one. Yeah. Move me too.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. You got any other shit starter questions? You say that, then you put your little fucking face on. No, I really want to know what people thought. What about him? I agree.
Starting point is 01:25:16 What about him? Okay. That's a good question. I got two for sure. Slim and Marshall? Yeah. Slim, Slim Shitty L.P. Marshall.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Eminem show. Yeah. I'm not the big show. I didn't love Eminem show. Really? That's where I jumped off the wagon for a second. I felt like Eminem show was like blueprint for G unit to rise, because he used a lot of those samples for his next tape run.
Starting point is 01:25:37 It was so far from, it started to move too far from the hip-hop that I love. I think it's a preference thing. Yeah. Slim and Marshall, I think, were great. I actually love Marshall. This is still my favorite one. Don't look for it now. What's the fucking ball?
Starting point is 01:25:53 What time is it, Joe? Jesus fucking Mary and Joe. And it wasn't you moaned. He fucking dweaves over here. How many does him have now? It's like, oh, it was just black history, now we talk about Eminem classics. Now it's time for my favorite part of the show.

Yeah, because I didn't think you and Big Shine got along, but we're about traveling. And my nika Travis somehow developed to happen. That's the good music breakup. That is Sahai. It is available right this second on his Instagram.
Starting point is 01:29:47 Yeah, I don't know why he's not putting these out, like for real. I don't know. Probably can't. Maybe so. They'll come out. They're going to come out. They need to. They better.
Starting point is 01:29:56 But that sounds good. Shout to Saia. It does sound good. Yeah. I would like to purchase that. Hopefully this means a project is coming. If so, I undoubtedly look forward to it. All right, that's all I got in music.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Okay. I'm done. It was a trash day. It was. Trash music dropped. Can I just apologize to ICE formally? What's up? I'm always down receiving apology.
Starting point is 01:30:21 We had some debates about Bruno Mars. Oh, yeah. Versus J. Cole. You want to get ahead of it. Not let them. Let them. I like this. No, no, we had some doubt.
Starting point is 01:30:30 I'm saying it. And, you know, we not only, some of us, I won't say no names, disagreed. You and it, y'all did that stupid dap y'all do when you think smart niggers are agreeing? You did that dumb-ass shit. It was dead-ass.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Yeah, they look so doofy. They look so doofy. But anyway. Let him continue. I might have agreed with that. I must see, Parks is there, too. We all agreed. I'm never going to call Parks doofy.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Y'all too are duffy. Anyway, we disagree that Jay Cole would do better the Brutelma. In fact, we may have even scoffed. You may have even govalled. You all did. You did. You did.
Starting point is 01:31:03 You're very disrespectful. Very disrespectful. And the numbers have come out. And it wasn't that close. You were absolutely right. We were absolutely wrong. And so I want to, on behalf of only me, humbly apologize. Me too.
Starting point is 01:31:20 You were correct. To you and Jake Cole. Yes. Yes, exactly. Word. Which may have a different take. I don't want to speak for them. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:31:27 That's cool. That's cool. Well, yeah. Apology accepted. Thank you, sir. Really? And you're going to let them off like that, man? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:33 We're good. What did you want to do? Shit. When I be ranked. You got a basket? When I'm right? Nah, I'll take advantage when I'm right. Take a victory lap.
Starting point is 01:31:44 Yeah, I don't get fuck if I'm right two times the same day. It's going to be an event. Bruno damn Mars. Anybody here going back to that Bruno Mars album? Nope. No. I still play that same song I like, the first one. No.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Track one. Chah. Yeah. No, no. No, the other one. What's it? What's that shit called? Don't worry about it. Bda, how's your R&B music game?
Starting point is 01:32:04 I know you, Stovegaw Cucks out. Got my Jansport on Extra Tighten. I know you rock Marcyed out. But how's your R&B? How's your R&B knowledge? I'm pretty, I'm all right. You play music when you fuck? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:17 You play like MOP or do you play like that? Oh, band from TV. Batsy and the Pussy. Reservoir dogs. You got a smack. Click on. O-C. Time's up.
Starting point is 01:32:28 she lacked the minerals and vitamins shot those C Mark you missed you missed one of those killer lines in the 50 cent You know y'all said he slipped some men Yeah I missed the actual bars on this joint He said
Starting point is 01:32:46 That's why you got to listen to lyrics man I heard for the first time with y'all He said I'm back on my dope boy grammar Your daddy made your mama eat every box in Atlanta Whoa fuck Freak shit people Yeah, he, yeah, he... That can be open to interpretation, though.
Starting point is 01:33:01 Nah, that's pretty straightforward. What's the... Wait, wait. But we don't know if he's talking directly towards Tia about with that line, but... Well, I didn't see the show yet, you're right. Power's not even set in Atlanta. The night of the shit is in New York.
Starting point is 01:33:16 Yeah, no, that's... That line is doing a lot of damage. That's a lot of motion, yeah. I don't know of motion. Your mom, yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. Tia's already firing back with, you know, on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Damn. Domani put out another record. Did he? Yeah. Is it good? I didn't love it. I didn't love the angle. I can play it if you want.
Starting point is 01:33:34 No. My brother. Yeah. We shouted out, Akeem Ali. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right.
Starting point is 01:33:40 You're right. You're right. And Russell and Liljohn in hour one. Yeah, you're right. And Domanie, he got all the praise from me on the first drop. That's what is, that's what it's going to get from me. Gotcha. One Domani drops.
Starting point is 01:33:55 That's fair. Yeah, we still got to sell advertising. One more T.I. piece outside of this beef. He said that, or maybe you can say he admitted that leaving Atlantic Records was a bad choice. But wait, don't slow down a little bit. The 50 line. I think it's impactful, but can it be so impactful with the first bar from Hader to Love It? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:18 Yes. Still can. Yeah, growing up, I was confused. My mama kissing the girl. Yeah, it's a little different. Your mom kissing the girl is different than your mom being holed out by your dad. the heat box across the Mason Dixon. Also, when it comes to...
Starting point is 01:34:31 Okay, you're twisted my own. Yeah. When they come to battling... And I'm not saying that's true, y'all. Just be clear. When it comes to battling, when you're going on somebody that's not remotely involved in it,
Starting point is 01:34:41 does that matter? Because Tiny don't rap. Tiny ain't a part of it, but that's where his angle's been, just tiny. And that was my... Well, that's what... No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:34:51 He's talking to one of kids. He's talking about tiny. Talking to King. Oh, I'm slow. And it goes along with the kids. Sexual action. There you go. This 50's responding to the kids,
Starting point is 01:34:59 rap? Yeah. The first line of 50 shit talking is towards his son. It's not towards the aisle. Mark is slow today. Thank you. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:35:07 but I'm just saying, just in general, does that matter? Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. I don't like going to tiny at all.
Starting point is 01:35:14 When I, I don't like that. But in my heyday, when I was dissing somebody, I was guaranteed to diss somebody who was cool with you. Yeah, I did, now, if I'm talking shit,
Starting point is 01:35:24 I'm talking about everybody. Yeah, maybe not a family member. one of your kids or your wife. I love it. But if the kids is rapping at you, there are no rules in battle. Yeah, but the wife was never rapping at him. The wife never said,
Starting point is 01:35:35 she's always mind her own business. The wife is literally why the kids got in this. Exactly. Like she, you could have kept it TI, but it's, you know. It's not right, but you don't get to dictate how somebody respond to what they perceive is a level of disrespect.
Starting point is 01:35:48 And that's why I didn't get on the kids when they came at 50 mom. I was like I understood it, even though I didn't like it. And now I was, I mean, I'm seeing Benzino wear T-shirts with 50's dead mom on. It's like, it's just, It's just getting further. No, no, this ain't about Zino.
Starting point is 01:36:01 My point is, this is why I don't like it, because now this poor woman who ain't do nothing to nobody is like a punchline that's even bigger than that beef. I just hate that shit. I hate it for Tiny. I hate it for 50s, I hate it for all of them. You're absolutely right, but don't say anything I never go. On top of the fact that Tiny is really unproblematic.
Starting point is 01:36:18 We've been getting slayed all week. It was funny. I don't have any beef with Benzino either. Like, why am I saying that? Trying to sell it. Selling ads. Shout out the business. I can't take you guys as hour one performance to Samsung.

I was thinking, okay, we had such a great music part, the last part, that let me get my guy ICE involved, because I know he would some of that. He would some of that music shit too. I wasn't, I was thinking like teamwork and camaraderie. That's what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking, like pit people against each other until they sat together.
Starting point is 01:37:46 You said they're looking like, hey, I could do this. The wheel started turning? Yeah, then beat I was like, I don't know about Jeezie's first album. You know, I just can't let that lie. And we ate your lunch on that Todd Dollar sign shit. That's how I remember. That's when I was like, oh, this might be a problem. Yeah, that was the one.
Starting point is 01:38:03 That's what I looked at you like, this might be a problem. He ate your lunch is like. But then Park spun the block vise. Yeah? Park spun for free. He's just so ugly. You ain't going to come here just jumping us with your Christianity shit. Right.
Starting point is 01:38:15 I don't take this musicality, bitch. It's said that he's been so like, you know what I mean? Because he smoked moaning too early on with that. I haven't been. She ain't said a Muslim word. And I think I've seen her go eat something. Did I see you eat? I think he sent her to a meal.
Starting point is 01:38:32 Yeah. He's not. He's disrespectful. It's terrible. This nigga is disrespectful. It's nothing we can do about it. Nope. Okay. We are done with music.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Indeed. It's offering time. He said the Christianity thing. We'll work on the gym. We'll work on the jokes. The humor slider is not. Yeah. You see what you do?

Starting point is 01:39:07 So, listen, I'm really passionate about the TV show Paradise featuring Sterling K. Brown. Me too. We are. I love that show. Yeah. I'm caught up. Oh, good.
Starting point is 01:39:19 Yeah, fine. All four. Then I'm going to do that. All four. All four. I'm not caught up. There's a button. leave.
Starting point is 01:39:25 There's a button for you. I'm about to leave. I'm going to go with this one. If you care about spoiler alerts, I'm going I'm going to give something. It's about to be so. I waited a week.
Starting point is 01:39:37 You did. And I have something that I'm extremely passionate about. So as it pertains to Paradise Season 2, episode 4, they put on an absolute clinic in showing the world
Starting point is 01:39:51 why patriarchy is so important. Oh shit. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. These bitches out here done got voices and jobs and savings and checkings accounts.
Starting point is 01:40:08 And now they out here talking about equality, equality, patriarchy is bad. Insert, paradise. Let me tell you what happened. I didn't think this was the angle, bro. Why? This is a mess.
Starting point is 01:40:25 No, it is. When y'all saw the episode before me, y'all was like, and itch was like, y'all almost shed a thug tear. I almost cried. Yeah, I was crying. Y'all said that. Then my girl watched it before me and said,
Starting point is 01:40:38 she was crying. Y'all understand what ice and itching and I was saying. Y'all almost cried. Really sad episode. Be careful. So I cut it on and grab the Kleenex out the medicine cabinet. And I'm sitting there watching. I got that minute 20.
Starting point is 01:40:51 Not a tear in sight. After a minute. No, I said, got the minute 20. I said I got to minute 30. Dry as can be. Dry as could be not even doing the sniffles. And then I got to minute 40 and I think I bumped into the part
Starting point is 01:41:05 that everybody else was talking about. But I was celebrating. Boy, I was having a party. The bitch that was supposed to die is dead. Thank the fucking Lord. This whole was annoying since they introduced her. You're not wrong. Right, but it was still sad.
Starting point is 01:41:25 So there wasn't nothing sad about it. And that's why, so listen, what I mean about the patriarchy is this lady was left alone to her own devices. She was by herself. She was straight. Intentionally. She buried her good, good home girl that got her job at the Elvis Presley's place. Grace line. And she was by herself surviving doing great.
Starting point is 01:41:46 Insert a crew of men trying to, you know, survive and head to the next destination. They fall in love. they fall in a heavy like okay there we go they fall in heavy enough like for the dude to say hey i'm not pulling it's dangerous oh well yeah that too that too but he said to her i'm not leaving you here um-huh please please come with me you're going to die if you stay here left by yourself like let's go. And he said this after sex. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:25 He made it. He said this after sex. After leaving it in too. Yeah. Hey, you would think that a mature conversation would happen at this point. But not on Paradise.
Starting point is 01:42:36 Know what she does? You guessed it. The bitch locks herself in the bathroom and doesn't even reply to him. Ghosting someone in the apocalypse is crazy. In the house. Ghosting them.
Starting point is 01:42:46 She locked herself in the bathroom as he's trying to save her. life. Finally, he can't wait anymore. He has to go. We gotta go. We gotta be out. Insert a black guy come in all of this time later.
Starting point is 01:43:01 Sterling K. Brown. He comes in, finds the lady. What does she do? About nine months later. Yeah. What does she do? Handcuff him. She handcuffs him.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Cool. When he wakes up, she unhandcuffs the dude. And they make friends. Right? She says, I need you help me find my baby daddy. This is a Clifno version, by the way. It's not an order.
Starting point is 01:43:25 This is just what my thoughts were. She says, I need you to help me find my baby daddy. This guy who the free world is obliterated, he's only here to even look for his wife, says to her, as soon as we find my wife, I'll help you find your baby daddy. Lost me right there.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Not going to hold you. Are you fucking kidding me? Cool. I'm thankful you saved my life. You helped me out. because she saved them. Cool, because, you know, her medical background, all that shit. Great.
Starting point is 01:43:55 My nigga, I'm not making that promise to you, fair. Sorry. Hey, this is the apocalypse. Yeah. They get on some horses. She starts having contractions. The black guy finds a safe place for her to be and says, I'm going to go get help.
Starting point is 01:44:14 The white lady says, no, please don't leave me. I don't trust people. now the black guy has to work through her trauma. This black guy at the end of the earth who can't find his wife has to now heal this bitch. Emotionally.
Starting point is 01:44:32 Yes. And it's the pit stop. It ain't like I'm in the city where the wife at. I still got to get over there. I'm watching this shit saying you've got to be kidding me but oh it gets worse. He goes out actually finds help. Brist's risked his life. He almost dies in the process.
Starting point is 01:44:52 Yeah, yeah. And then he comes back with the help. And not only did he have to heal your trauma, he said, we're going to deliver this baby. He's delivering a baby now. Okay. And it's triggering him from when he had to deliver the baby before. So he got to work through his bullshit too. They deliver the baby, and this heifer has the nerve to die.
Starting point is 01:45:19 and her responsibilities end at give her this note give her this note when she's old enough to read it you mean we gotta wait five six actually it ain't even five kids can't read it five no more you gotta wait 12 years

Paradise is about a bunch of billionaires creating a bunker for a select group of people to go live in
Starting point is 01:46:00 because the end of the world is coming, so they think. Not just a bunker, like an entire underground, well, an entire, yeah. Like a city. Yeah. Yeah. A paradise. Yeah, it's paradise. It's simulated weather.

Starting point is 01:46:54 Also, what a lesson in how important it is to shed dead weight. What a master class in, hey, everybody can't go. Sorry. One way or another. If this chick stayed alive, she wasn't going to do dumb but piss me off for the rest of the show and slow him down. Yeah, that's a fact. And slow him down. What y'all think the baby going to do?
Starting point is 01:47:18 Oh, nah. That baby just strapped on the body. You're good. Oh, that baby would be Joe Montana. Well, what are we talking about? That baby would be. You'd anchor man the baby? What?

Starting point is 01:47:41 I would take the baby. It's not going to be with me. Mark, you came back too soon. I only got one spoiler alert left. Go ahead. I can tune you out. So at the end of the episode, he bumps in the homeboy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:56 Whose best friends with his wife. Distinguished panel that follows this show. How would you all react in that moment? I would go off the look. He didn't look like he was tearing nothing down. Fair, but it's the apocalypse. He might have, the way he was talking, I don't went off. I don't went off the deep end.

Starting point is 01:51:36 I pick in Fort Lee specifically. That's the only one I give a fuck about. Yeah. Was any others? Yeah. They have one over there on Fulton. The rest of them in New York. Oh.
Starting point is 01:51:46 But they were all over. Fort Lee. I mean, in this area. Oh, yeah, yeah. New Jersey's only I pick was the one that was in Fort Lee. Yeah. We sell a lot of movies over there. School me on it.
Starting point is 01:51:59 What makes I pick special? I pick opened up 10 years ago in Fort Lee, and it was supposed to be a high-end movie experience. They had a restaurant that was pretty good downstairs. The seats reclined. It was only eight theaters. So it's not, one of them like movie tavern approach. Yeah, you can order food and drink to your seat. Like giving your seats.
Starting point is 01:52:22 It's like you and your lady, it's like walls around the two of y'all. It's private. First class shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A high-end, dying-end movie theater experience that is anchored one of Fort Lee's largest modern developments will go dark later this year, as I pick will shudder after a decade-long run. Late last month, I pick theaters LLC foul for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. protection in the U.S. bankruptcy court for the Southern District of Florida.
Starting point is 01:52:49 The company operates 13 dining in theater locations and eight restaurant units nationwide, with the Fort Lee location within the Hudson Lights Complex as their only garden state location. A recently filed New Jersey, New Jersey Warren notice states that 97 employees at Ipick theaters in Fort Lee will be laid off by the end of May. The company listed as effective date May 28th in the paperwork it's submitted to the New Jersey Department of Labor. Launched in 2016, the 8th screen,
Starting point is 01:53:18 533-seat I-pick theater was once the fastest growing luxury cinema chain in the country. The theater features a full-service restaurant that allows guests to order complete meals to their seats during films and also a sports, also sports a full bar with cocktails,
Starting point is 01:53:34 wine, and beer. This is a really sad day in New Jersey. This is sad, bro. I can't promise you that I'm going to the movies again now. Well, the regals got at least by me. They got the recliners now.
Starting point is 01:53:47 You can get some liquor, alcohol there. Yeah. It's a little better than you used to. But people aren't going to the movies like how they used to, you know, after COVID. Like, it's changed. But yeah, I'm sure generally. Which is crazy because I really think that that whole bring you the food and the drinks to the seat. Like, that's perfect.
Starting point is 01:54:05 It's a perfect. I know a lot of people say they'll fall asleep. Like, it's hard not to just get rocked out. I mean, some people sleep in the movies regardless. But now that you can get a shot. of Hennessy and the cassadilla, like, your eyes are staying up. That was the plan. As a parent, like my daughter, I want you to meet her.
Starting point is 01:54:22 She's downstairs. When I would take her to kids' movies, once they open the movies, them theaters up, that's what I would do. I would go, get a drink, get a good food, and you could rock out two hours, three hours, and just sleep after you. You never smuggled food in? Oh, I was a king of smuggled out food. That's today. That was today. You don't smuggle something into the movie theater?
Starting point is 01:54:40 Not now. Not now. Not now. They got all the floss shit. You free now, bro. You bring a hot dog in and they sell, you know what I mean, Cazadea and make you look like. And I get short pizza at the aisle.
Starting point is 01:54:51 It makes you look pretty poor. What do you sneak into the movie? Like some lemon names or? Wait, you smuggling in the shit they got? Yeah. No, hold on. I used to do that. We used to do that now.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Now I see how this happened. I remember in Philly when they started searching. You got this nigga hard times. They started searching. Oh, shit. I see how this happened. Oh, shit. You got him on it.
Starting point is 01:55:12 You said. You're a piece of shit. This discount Bryce He said Wait, you're sticking in a minute You know You're sticking it Oh, that's the point of it
Starting point is 01:55:26 You're so dumb, man I'm missing it but That's how it is right now Mark is like you got a joke man Just know that Mark is That's the point of this story Mark is calling you poor For sneaking in NM's
Starting point is 01:55:40 Oh I'm also saying Joe knows that And then That's why he got to I think that's when I hired people when they had their porous. Yes. I don't think you saw me hired by CNN instead of me bring this nigga in. Right. He's fired.
Starting point is 01:55:55 Touche. Oh, shit. And I waited until she was down on it. I waited until that break beach shit was on the rocks. That's not totally not the same thing. Who's that that's supposed to know there? No, this is motherfucking Joe Dashis believe that shit too. They believe that.
Starting point is 01:56:12 It's a joke, y'all. Episode two. They was like, look them on the socks. They're a socks match. That's that Joey check. Like me. That's funny. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:56:22 That's shit. Yeah, but bring some Sal Patch kids to the movie theater's what you meant. Yeah, because basically that's what you were saying that you were in financial despair and you had to be here. She's bringing it back. See, that's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:56:32 That's pretty accurate. You know, they won't fill you in, babe. And I will. They do sell Eminems now. But why won't you spend $7? If you go to the dollar store, Dollar General, the same shit is there for half the price.
Starting point is 01:56:45 We're not just now we ain't doing that. Right now. Mission Impossible shit for shit they got in there. You got to get this big dumb-ass tote bag. I remember when they started searching bags if you pour snacks? Yeah, yeah. See, and as dudes, we can't really bring bags. Like, women can bring purses and just put shit in.
Starting point is 01:57:00 It's harder. Today wear purses. They can get that off. That's true. The only place I steal from today is the airport. Yeah. You keep saying that, you know. It's the airport speed as fuck.
Starting point is 01:57:11 They don't care. Please. you think they would believe that Joe Button is in Hudson News stealing cliff bars stealing a strawberry and banana fucking smoothie
Starting point is 01:57:24 drink this shit I'm nasty I steal the little egg sandwiching I got to go right to the sandwiches I'm such a thief I go to the sandwiches and pit some chicken
Starting point is 01:57:37 check the day on this one yeah I got to steal them shit It'll just be like $29. Don't be surprised. Shoplifting quadruple after COVID. People really do just be out there on that now. Know why else you got to steal? If you just buy the sandwich you think you want and go to the plane,
Starting point is 01:57:54 you might not be in the mood for that sandwich by the time you get there. Is that you wasted your money? I should have stole something. And you got to see if you still got it. Yeah, for sure. For sure. A little temp check? Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:58:05 Apple juice tastes better when you steal. So what happened to you? The airport stealing and realized you don't got it. You don't got it. No, you got to go to jail. If you don't steal from the airport, I look at you with it. If you got court stealing from the airport, you're a crackhead. And you should be ashamed of yourself.
Starting point is 01:58:18 Now we're going to judge you. You're stealing from the time. How could you be? You got caught doing that? Come on. Like, imagine the lady walking up like, she'll come in with that neck pillow? Yes, I did, bitch.

Starting point is 02:01:27 Yeah, I know. It's Weight Watchers. I don't remember which one she was on. Long decade about it, but I know there were concerns then about the rapidness of the weight loss and the up and down. It's like with, like, the up and down of it. And I don't know why. But she's been...
Starting point is 02:01:39 People have connected her to Ozzympic for a long time now. I don't know what Oprah's on. I don't want to get into business. Luther was just getting fed after breakups. Yeah. Uh, yeah. There's a little something I said too. And Luther struggled with his weight, but I think Oprah did too.
Starting point is 02:01:51 But Oprah came in a time where women were just supposed to be really small anyway. Right. And then things were always hyper-focused on her because she had the top of the game and she's black, period. So. Her weight's been steady for like the last 15. Yeah, she's been the same size for a while. But like, you're doing 60-70, man. You're doing whatever you got.
Starting point is 02:02:09 do to keep that coochie in them panties. Listen, Oprah looks good. She's 72 years old. She had a nice fit on. Yeah. I ain't seen no problem. You look great. You'll be it?

Like, you be outside with mad plans, and now you got to go stop it Johnny Rockets or some shit. get a burger. Nah, fuck that, nigga. We eat next week. Yeah, imagine that. You dictating when
Starting point is 02:08:13 I eat. I'm busy. Speaking of food. Grinding. This is Matt Randen, but have y'all been watching these battles on line line between the fast food companies? Yes. Yes. So it started, this most recent round started with Wendy's because Wendy's is hiring somebody for $100,000 a year to be the food.
Starting point is 02:08:30 Chief Taste officer. Yeah, really? Yeah. So they'll give you $100,000 a year. Wait. Beat, I was like, really? Yeah. You're ready to lose your new player, Nick. Can I take some home?
Starting point is 02:08:41 You're right. You're right to lose you. No experience. Got me in the joke. You're right. Lose your new little music expert, nigga. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:08:52 I didn't even know Wendy's was offering competitive pot prices. Oh, shit. Oh, my Lord. You're about to get to have this cash off. Oh, shit. He thought he did something.
Starting point is 02:09:02 I'll go to the drive through a check and see what's love with you? Yeah, but you're $100,000. You work from home most. You go in, you go to the restaurant, you bring home the food, you eat it, you taste it, you give feedback. It's a great job. They posted it.
Starting point is 02:09:13 It's kind of like a promotional thing, but it's also just to get attention to it. And so Popeyes reposted it, quote, tweeted it and said, they really do need to hire somebody to taste their food to be fair. Wow. That's funny. Then Church's Chicken, quote, tweeted that and said, and who taste tested your biscuits? Side eye. Oh, yeah, they bugging. Popeye said, glad we could make you relevant again.
Starting point is 02:09:34 And then Church's Chicken said, a comeback as George's Chicken said, a comeback as George's dry as them biscuits. Damn, they're shooting. Wait, is Church's biscuit good enough to shoot at Popeye's? If I want to bring this to the table.
Starting point is 02:09:45 Churches ain't good enough to talk, talk. They shouldn't be in a conversation. Yeah, they shouldn't even be chatting. I'm not all the way, man, when you're hungry. See why being hungry is whack? Now you got, stop in churches. Get you some chicken.
Starting point is 02:09:56 Their biscuits ain't like that to talk to Popeye's like that. They're not known for biscuits. Popat's biscuits are not as good as they used to be. When we was kids, them biscuits was they were good. They were good. It was sluffy.
Starting point is 02:10:08 They're dry to the point of not enjoyable. Years, they look like they're dried to the point where you can't enjoy them. Maybe the Philadelphia Popeyes aren't getting the same bread distribution. Y'all, if Pop-Bi's biscuits are the same, y'all telling me the Pop-Wi Biscuits are the same than I used to be? I haven't had a Pau's Biscuits growing up. Wait, what? You never had a Pobie.
Starting point is 02:10:29 I haven't had in a minute. Oh, okay. You scared me. No, no, no. I'd survived high school for Pop-Oz biscuits on Jamaica Avenue. Yeah, it is. There we go. There we go.
Starting point is 02:10:38 I'm just saying those biscuits are not the ones they sell now. Oh, no, none of the shit is the same. That's what I'm saying. None of it. The McDonald's vid that originally caused all of this fuss. When I saw it the first time, I watched it on mute. And then I recorded the pod and then I went home and I listened to a boy is so much funnier with the sound.
Starting point is 02:10:59 I wish people would have told me. That guy got up there and called the food a product, a product. product. Our new product. Not our new burger. That's crazy. And he chewed it and just stored it up there. I don't think I...
Starting point is 02:11:15 Like a chipmunk and some shit. And the thing about it is, it's a commercial and you know that everybody wants to see you eat this shit and you still want you funny boy? That's crazy. He sits that shit there and he never goes to. Maybe he's on a Zem. Or maybe he's a vegetarian. That could be true.
Starting point is 02:11:32 Or maybe he know what it is. Maybe he knows his fucking pigeon ass. Like, what the fuck? Well, that's the thing. The McDonald's dude took a very small bite. And he got clowned, of course, because he's the CEO and why you're taking such a small bite. Then Burger King CEO, he started a trend. The Burger King CEO took a bite of the burger.
Starting point is 02:11:52 Then the Wendy CEO took a bite of the Baconator. And then A&W, who I don't know how to fuck y'all got in the conversation. They still exist? Down south here. AWOW. Yeah, they have food spots. But they have their food spots. Especially trussed out.
Starting point is 02:12:05 Yeah. At those rest stops, they're there a lot too. Wait, you used the truck drive. You mean he's never seen him? He's local. He still got to see him. That's why he never liked lot lizards. Focus.
Starting point is 02:12:16 Right. So then the A&W guy came out and took a bite of the burger. And some of y'all on the internet put all four of these pictures together. So I had no choice but to conclude the following. White people don't take big bites of burger. Speak to yourself. The Burger King dude thought he was taking a big bite of the burger Like to really show him and I was like
Starting point is 02:12:41 Okay that ain't a big burger The Baconator which I know is a good burger He didn't take the biggest bite of that Like black people when the burger is good You bite that four bites you gotta fall off of this motherfucker Your fingers got the sauce and shit on it You got wipe your mouth you need a napkin Everybody you need a napkin
Starting point is 02:13:00 They wasn't napkined up at all I need to check out parks on this Yeah And your white experience This family comes From a restaurant restaurants, though. So they eat bigger. And Parks has lips.
Starting point is 02:13:09 And he's six, six. And he got lips. Stop talking about rim. And you know, Parks is different because Parks eats on time all every day. That, I don't get fuck. What's going on? He's going right over there and go snibble on that design from last night. That's the motherfucker eat.
Starting point is 02:13:22 That's a big man. I have needs. What you alluding to his white experience, though? That's what I was about the bites. Oh, no. I'm going to eat a Big Dallas burger like a bite. That's a little ass burger. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:36 That's not even a burger. Yeah, it's not. I'm just, do you know. Speedball bites, tops. I can't speak for the rest of my. Your white brothers. Do y'all think that white people's taste buds are the same as black people's taste buds? No, I can tell you that for fact.
Starting point is 02:13:49 I don't know how, though. Because they need to give them some salt. You'll see. Yeah, it's spicy. But I feel like whenever I've ever, when white people eat it, they enjoy it. So they taste bugs, there's nothing wrong with it because when it's season right, they like it. They just don't. Like, I don't.
Starting point is 02:14:05 know I don't know. I even would say, oh, this's too spicy for me. They love collard greens and shit. They like how we eat. Sometimes. Sometimes they say, you know, this is spicy. Oh, behind our fucking backs. When you take that shit home, it's like, oh, gotta fucking eat this shit. Karen, did you taste that? God damn. Sylvia's don't make it to the crib. My mouth is on fire still.
Starting point is 02:14:22 Okay. Doesn't have any raisins? Park's the only real white nigga out. Nobody wouldn't have told us that butt parks, bro. Appreciate it. Give you a little behind the scenes. Yeah. We talk the shit about our food like we talk about theirs. Behind the hood. Who the fuck?

Starting point is 02:14:55 I don't know. I'm not got. You're going to awesome time on your life from the devil's. They were delicious, though. If a deviled egg is good, I'm eating 38 of them. But would you eat the, do you eat special ones, deep fried? with crab meat, ones with shrimp, or you just like them plain? That's a lot.
Starting point is 02:15:09 Okay. That's a lot. I like deviled eggs, so I like those. But that's what I mean. I like devil eggs, so I like different kinds too, yeah. I may be would, but I don't want, I feel like devil eggs is another one of them shit where it sounds very simple, but if you don't know what you're doing, you're going to fuck it up.
Starting point is 02:15:24 Don't try to come put. It's like people that can't make mac and cheese, some people. So now they're making lobster mac and cheese. No, no, slow down. Slow down.

Starting point is 02:23:45 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Think about it. Get 200 grand today. Might have to take this El Dorado for Spain. Well, what were we wrong about? All right. So she was drunk driving and she got some money and she looks like she may be a little.
Starting point is 02:24:03 She had alcohol and drugs in her sister. according to the latest reports. Are you all saying that she should still be under the conservatorship? It may not have been the worst thing for her, is all I'm saying. No, y'all. She didn't have any DWIs while under the conservators. Because she wasn't allowed to hold keys. Listen, it's too soon to say, okay?
Starting point is 02:24:24 She's buying keys. And she's a bald-ass woman, all right? One glass of wine, Zanex sometimes. You know what I mean? I don't think it was one glass of wine. Well, that's what we would. one assumed to the reports are out. Based on that field sobriety test, yeah, a few.
Starting point is 02:24:38 I think that's her family's fault, though. Like, if anybody would have just seen her TikTok dance videos, they wouldn't have gave her car keys. Oh, my God. That's all I'm saying. What did they do to Brittany? Who, Justin Timberlake? No, that family.
Starting point is 02:24:52 I read an article the other day that said that he doesn't want that footage to come out. He's like fighting. Fighting. I'm sure he don't come out. Yeah. I thought he would have freestyles some shit. No. He's really fighting that.
Starting point is 02:25:02 Like a serious thing. Oh, so we need that. Yeah. I want you Yes. You know it's heating it. It's some end bombs in there. It's some end bombs in there.
Starting point is 02:25:10 It's some end bombs in there. Oh, you got to show me over like I'm some kind of nigger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why is he great in the person? Who knew you're fucking Rich Little over here? Elliot, you've misused him all this time.
Starting point is 02:25:22 All I got to do is show us the cops that arrested him. That'll tell me everything. Because if he's mad and you know who I am, you fucking. It'll come out. That'd be great. That'd be great. Justice for Janet. For sure.
Starting point is 02:25:37 For sure. Little fucker. I like Justin. I like Justin too. I like that. It's my favorite little wigger. I'm not a fan. I like this little wigger face.
Starting point is 02:25:44 After punked, when I saw like the real him come out when the police showed up. Oh yeah. I lost all respect. Oh, wait. What are you doing punk? He was just a white man.
Starting point is 02:25:50 When he got punked, he just went. He was like full white. He was like he went full white when he thought he's getting stopped by the police. And then as soon as Ashley came back. Oh, you got me dog. He went right back to that. Yeah. He was like, I think you have the wrong person, Leon.
Starting point is 02:26:02 Exactly. And what he did, the Janet, of course. That's my real. Of course. I mean, come on. And just some of his in sync outfits, like, early on when he was trying to be white usher. That justified album and future sex love sounds.
Starting point is 02:26:18 Yeah, in 2020. And 2020. Three classics. Three classics. Three classics. Look at y'all. Who else has got some classics? No one's funny about your classic talk that y'all were really spirited about.
Starting point is 02:26:32 Y'all named all the best people. Like, the best people would have some classics. Yeah, yeah. A couple rappers y'all left off that didn't have a classic. I get it, your personal relationships. I'm getting my monologue ready. Oh, that's right. You know, maybe a couple people did just walk in there and see you laid out.
Starting point is 02:26:57 Oh. You know what? I'm just so quiet. Too soon, Joe. He's horrible. I ain't going to hold you. The more I'm sitting next to this motherfucker. He is terrible.
Starting point is 02:27:11 Hey, Phelps, I can get it. Like, take your time, right? When certain people have features. Feltz went to the store. Niggas, we're stopping at yellow lights. You don't have to build pressure on the last, babe. Oh, man. Anyway, what else?
Starting point is 02:27:28 What else? Who was left on the list? Are we done with Megan Fox's ass? Oh, who else left off the list? Yeah. Big Sean. I don't know if Waleigh has a classic. You'll be hearing.
Starting point is 02:27:41 I love the album about nothing, but I don't know if it's universally Haralded as a classic. Not for music reasons. Yeah. I think the album about nothing is a classic. For me, it is. Yeah. I think it is a classic.
Starting point is 02:27:51 I don't think it's universally received that way, though. That's not my measure. There's people who, you know what I mean, who have classes that the industry just don't see or don't know enough about or don't like to highlight because of politics. True. To me, that's a classic.
Starting point is 02:28:06 I think Waleigh has a classic album and a classic mixtape. More about nothing is a classic mixtape. Y'all, once y'all do the to me thing, it ends the classic conversation. I'm not saying to me. But universally, no, he doesn't. But it's also not because of the music.
Starting point is 02:28:21 It's not because of the albums. Not because the songs aren't there. It's because of how he's viewed by the general public. Captain DeRae, looking at that. Wait. Am I wrong? He doesn't have a classic, but it's not because of the music.
Starting point is 02:28:36 We talk about people that don't have a classic because the music or you just don't have an album that's that good to be called. You just don't have it. But if you have an album that that's good, but people just will overlook it because they just don't fuck with you, that's a different argument. I think Wale has a few cult classics. I don't see the, and that's my man. A classic is a classic. It's a classic. Like, you don't have a classic.
Starting point is 02:29:02 Yeah, it's come sit with me. We can't call him. Hey, it's a bunch of us. We ain't got one. We're super nice. But we ain't got one. I think everything is a lot that's going to age really well.
Starting point is 02:29:13 Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah. I agree with that. Well, we'll see. Yeah, what's it? It might end up be my favorite while they album. I think it's my... Which one?
Starting point is 02:29:22 This most recent? Yeah. I love it. I can't stop playing it. I love this album. It's top three for me, though. Every time something new come out, I go back to this is what I get tired of.
Starting point is 02:29:29 I think it's too much hype put on classic albums. Like, if you got seven-eyed albums, like, that's not a bad thing. Yeah, I think that's gonna fly. And some of the people on the list, particularly off the time I had Method Man and Andre and Black Thought, it's a little disingenuous to put them on the list when they have classic group as a part of a group. And other people, like I look at putting fab on that list. Yeah, I don't have a classic album, but I got classic mixtape series. you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:29:59 Okay, cool. I don't have the album. I have other classic shit where I got my classic somewhere else. You got classic songs. Yeah, I got classic songs. You said classic series is as in plural?
Starting point is 02:30:09 Classic series. Soul tape, I'm talking about. Okay. It's a classic series. Not. I was going to ask what the other one was. Some people like the, there's no competition drinks. Not classic.
Starting point is 02:30:18 Sure, but not classic. Not classic. Not classic. The Soul tape is the one. Yeah, for sure. That's the one. And this nigga is pardoned instead of giving us a fucking new soul to him. Well, you're not going to do a new song.
Starting point is 02:30:27 soul tape. Anyway, I don't think he would do that anyway. You're going to do something. I want something bad, but... You put out a new song today, actually. Fab, huh? It's on a compilation project. It's just him? Yeah. I used to even know that drive. I didn't know that drop. I didn't know that drop. I didn't know the new fan drive? Did you know the new sad drop?
Starting point is 02:30:43 This motherfucker? Yo, it's level. Hey, they answer you. Nigger, hell no, I ain't. Since it put some song out that was on a soundtrack. I played three seconds of that shit and you can just Tell soundtrack music. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 02:30:59 It's called Reshaping the Culture. The era of classic soundtracks is unfortunately. Somebody let me hear this new fad. I can't find it. It's all. Rishaping the Culture, Volume 1. Where the fuck is that? We don't even know what reshaping the culture is, dog.
Starting point is 02:31:11 Like, you two music for us. Get a television. I should even on his page, so. It's buried. It's out. It exists. Salute. Yeah, I don't.
Starting point is 02:31:23 We ain't going to play that. I can't find it. B-D. I got it. Are you on like the dark web of music? Some shit that will sit to you? Nah, it exists, man. Is it good?
Starting point is 02:31:35 It's okay. Oh, then never. All that. Yeah, I thought you had some heat lined up. No, no, it wasn't a heat. It was cool. Got it, yeah, got it. All right, now I'm done with music.
Starting point is 02:31:45 I promise. No more classic album. Yeah, we're done. Can you go back to Captain Durag because you mentioned them just now? Captain Durack. Captain Durack is a character from a cartoon. Let me get the name of the cartoon.
Starting point is 02:31:58 Hey, AJ. Hey, AJ. Hey, AJ is the cartoon. And it's the character that Disney introduced during Black History Month that seemed to have all the black people in the uproar. And it's a black guy and a D-Rag and the D-Rag is what gives him his powers. Boy, they killed this guy. His mask gets his cape.
Starting point is 02:32:15 I felt like it's only right. Yeah, if you do that, you do got a couple waves spinning up there. They got a couple. Be that it's kind of waving. I ain't got waves. There we go. Continue. I'll plug this on for the rest of the...
Starting point is 02:32:34 Yeah, Mark. That thing is. Me and shit. Anyway, everybody was an uproar about this, and I didn't rush to bring it to the pod because I kind of thought it was dope. I like it. I just want to know where y'all stand on
Starting point is 02:32:52 an action figure or superhero called Captain Durag being introduced on a black cartoon during Black History But it was created by a black woman too Black man I thought The football player I think a black woman is involved in this Okay as well
Starting point is 02:33:09 Is it a Disney? But before we knew that any black people were involved They was getting taught And not that when we learned Who they still got taught Once we learned it was black people But we just looked at it a little different How do y'all feel about a superhero
Starting point is 02:33:22 called Captain Durag Is it offensive or should it be, it's the woman that created. It's a black woman, right? Camille. You didn't know that. For me, it depends how it's done off, just listening, hearing it. Nothing wrong with it off just hearing it. But it's always how it's done. And because black people, we are hypersensitive to shit because shit is offensive sometimes. Sometimes it feels like the shit with Aitonem and the monkeys and this, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:33:45 It always feels like somebody's trying to take a little jab at you or degrades you or put you down. To me, Captain Durag is so, like, obviously ridiculous that I would think that it wasn't to be that or whatever, but again, it's all about how they do or how they play it. You know? A lot of the backlash is that is centered around this idea that it plays on negative stereotypes of black people, including this du rag itself,
Starting point is 02:34:07 which is often associated with, you know, lawlessness, poverty. Really? I just want to wear my hair wave. Oh, damn. I'm a smooth criminal. This nigger is violent. I'm telling you what the people say. I'm
Starting point is 02:34:25 representing their position. It's not my position. I love to do rag. No, honestly, that's the interesting thing. It's not just white people saying this. A lot of time it'd be upper middle class black people. It'd be the Martha's Vineyard blacks who are embarrassed by this representation of blackness. They're like and it's on Disney Jr. So they're like
Starting point is 02:34:41 if Disney's going to bring a black superhero in that the superhero should affirm the best of us. I don't, this is not my position but that's what they're saying. I am on the opposite side of it. I actually love when you get an anti-hero because it's an ode to to like black exploitation is what they were trying to do with the character.
Starting point is 02:34:56 And I like having a hero that wears a do-rack that fights crime and is steeped in blackness. You know what? In black culture, I think it's dope. I agree. But black people get embarrassed by how black people look in front of white people. And to me, that's a problem. It is a problem because then you get to like always like comparing it or what the white people think. And me personally, as a black person, I don't give a fuck about what white people think
Starting point is 02:35:18 about what I do, what I like, what I wear, what I eat. At the end of the day, for me, as a mom, my first kid is watching Disney. and then we get into these conversations where I would talk to her about black pride and about our history the same thing, the way I was raised. No, Mommy, I'm not black, I'm pink, see? But you watch Disney all day long where
Starting point is 02:35:37 every princess is pink. It's just, it's an automatic thing. All the way back to the test where they show the babies, the dark baby and the white baby and they'll pick the white baby over the dark baby. So for me, my kids love Disney. I like the fact that there's another nigger that they can watch besides Tiana,
Starting point is 02:35:52 because that's all we had at a point, Tiana, as far as on Disney. I know what you mean. You know what I mean? Because I'm a Disney mom. I took my kids to Disney World. I plan on going next year. You know what I mean? So, yeah, I don't know. I got two boys in the house. They wear du rags. So to see that on TV as a superhero, fire.
Starting point is 02:36:09 I don't have a problem with it. Yeah. I don't disagree with your point, Mark, about black people feel about how they look in front of white people. But also with that, with this Captain DuRag shit, like if we know something comes is for us by us, we view it. differently than if they were to come up with it. Exactly. Context is important. Do you feel to have the same position with the whole Atlanta Hawks thing with the Magic City putty?
Starting point is 02:36:35 Yeah, we went into that last episode. And yeah, all of us support the culture and all of us support the right to celebrate that culture. I had a different position than a lot of people up here in that. I think it, one, I think it's not just a good business move because I think that's, I think it's going to alienate part of the audience, but I also just didn't love. Magic City is a very particular thing, but the underworld of strip clubs,
Starting point is 02:37:01 if you celebrate that without a lot of criticality, I think what ends up happening is it, it smuggles in all the ugly side of it. And people don't have the understanding of the distinction between, like, what Magic City is and what all the ones on Metropolitan Avenue are, that ain't Magic City, if you know it. Because it's like, Magic City's black culture,
Starting point is 02:37:18 so it was the do-rag as part of black culture. So it's like... Really quick on this topic, we had a deep dive on at the last part. I love Dark Harbor. conversation that we had on it. It was just one small piece that we left out. Like we might have gotten too deep with the talk. The Atlanta Hawks fans have been screaming since Kaminga got there. Thank you warriors. Thank you warriors. Because Kaminga has been going crazy.
Starting point is 02:37:41 Yeah. The warriors, before they traded him, put out a statement. And the statement said Kaminga has a very large family who was in the back eating all the wings. That's crazy Oh wow That's wild That is wild I think the Atlanta Hawks wings thing
Starting point is 02:38:05 Is just shooting at the warriors If that's the case I mean they could have done Dugans Which is the best wings pot of Atlanta But I do at least appreciate the joke And I appreciate that gives me more context I still don't like it But that makes me feel better
Starting point is 02:38:20 And again Dugans got the best wings in Atlanta If I'm tapping in the culture and shooting by, I killed two birds for once, though. The shooting aspect, I loved. I love it.
Starting point is 02:38:31 I like that. I like the Magic City aspect because, again, you can highlight Magic City without doing it as a strip club. They're not doing that. I'm just saying, they're not.
Starting point is 02:38:38 It's a restaurant as well, and they're highlighting it as a restaurant and as part, a major part of Atlanta culture, which it is. It's whatever we present as. Nigel of Restaurant's on Uber Eats got 90 different storefronts for the same store.
Starting point is 02:38:52 Wait, Magic City, like kids could go to Madison. Magic City? Like, they have a separate location as a restaurant, or are you talking about within the actual strip club? Yeah, within the strip club. But kids can't go there. Well, I don't know their rules at noon. No, I don't go strip clubs anymore. I used to. I used to be in perfections a couple times. Perfections. Remember that? I do. Good old perfection. Good old things. That's something else though? It's a way. I think it's like a storage facility. I stopped going over there after people
Starting point is 02:39:18 just kept dying. There was a good place. There's a good place for people. I mean, this You know what's funny? Like, I'm black. I got so much trauma from the hood. It ain't that people dying scared me away. It's that the killers had too clean of an exit from perfection. Right on the highway. Yeah, that highway was too close to where.
Starting point is 02:39:38 You could park your car. And it was a little side block over there. No, you could get clapped and that nigga would never be caught. That's how I thought about our other jersey spot that was right there on 1 and 9. Like, it was right on the highway, right? anything can happen right there. I try not to go places where they can kill me and get away. Yep. You get right about it.
Starting point is 02:39:57 Like, I want there to be a case. Sure. You'll never see that car. You know what justice. If I go, you're goddamn right. I mean, I don't think that's a lot to ask for. No updates on this Nancy Guthrie stuff? Still nothing.
Starting point is 02:40:12 Well, they said that I think they tied the glove to a restaurant or something, but that's not the same shit. Didn't they make a memorial now, right? They're just coming to grips with it. Damn. That's got to be tough That has got to be tough I didn't bring it up to get us more of it
Starting point is 02:40:27 But they didn't spend no money right They didn't up the end They had a reward It was like 90 Bitcoin or something like that Did they pay it? I don't think so Right I was saying they didn't lose no bread right No because nobody came forward With a tip that was gonna lead to something
Starting point is 02:40:41 And that ain't help That's incredible yeah I'm a half a half full I get missing y'all niggas better Pull up for that reward Yo did you hear this thing What's you say out of here
Starting point is 02:40:53 I just as your friend I know the type of person you are that you wouldn't want us to waste money that way damn
Starting point is 02:40:58 I don't think he feels that way because we don't know if you're alive or not like you know what I mean if they can't show us proof of life
Starting point is 02:41:04 we ain't giving up the 300 grand you want to send his finger in a box 300 you hear him on the 300
Starting point is 02:41:10 she said I'm a cup half full type of person I'm talking about Nancy and them like they didn't get mommy back but they ain't you mean
Starting point is 02:41:16 anybody lose no paper I'm prayer Prayers for the Guthrie family. Of course, J.B., we are prayers are with you. We hope that they find her. Indeed. Like, we're holding on to hope.
Starting point is 02:41:36 I mean, hope is grim. At this point. Now, I don't get a fuck. I'm missing for 30 days. Y'all nicks better still be. You want us to give up the money regardless of proof of life. Say it now on camera so we know. I want you all to have the money ready.
Starting point is 02:41:51 No, fuck that. No proof of life come. You be paid them without proof of life. Yes or no? Oh, yeah. If there's a glimmer that that will lead to my safe return, pay them. Pay it. So pay it without proof of life.
Starting point is 02:42:04 Yeah, pay it. All right, I got you. Pay it. How you feel? What, for me? If they snatched you up. Man, don't waste that money, man. Y'all know how you.
Starting point is 02:42:12 I'm not fucking around. Got the rustling and it killed me day one. Try to get myself out. Now, this thing that beat me in head. I'm going. I won't put money on it, but I will give Phelps a weapon. So if you go missing Joe, you want niggins to be like Macaw Fife and Payton Full in the car? Like crying, we need you back.
Starting point is 02:42:31 Well, hopefully headed to get the money that's going to lead to me coming back. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah, definitely. My memory is too bad to remember scenes from classic movies. I'm ashamed of myself. Look, Joe's gone, guys. Joe's gone.
Starting point is 02:42:47 I think we can still get the pie, keep the pie. I'm joking. I'm joking. I know you. If you think Ian is going to leave me out there with this cast. Holy shit. Oh, this, y'all. If you think Ian going to look at this cast and say, like, hold it down.
Starting point is 02:43:02 We lost them, y'all. You got another thing. Ian will be at the fucking, the Swiss bank, the fucking Rothschild's bank. Ian going to go get that bread. Words are powerful. Let's not even play. Yeah, we don't want nobody to get missing on a work day. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:43:18 But these niggas are fine excuses not come to work. Got kidnapped. You'll call Joe. I'm going to give you the phone. Tell them you all got me kidnapped. I can't come in the day. Yo, you better get kidnapped when my bank is open. I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 02:43:31 Because if you're leaving it to cash app, you're going to get this $6,000 if it ain't a strip club night. All right. What else is important? What else is important or unimportant? Can we hit a couple quick political stories? I would love to. All right, y'all.
Starting point is 02:43:47 I've been holding this in. But what happened with Jasmine Crocker is really disturbing me out there. What's happening? What you're saying something? I hate this nigga so fucking coach. I'm fucking hate it. Go, get your two doors. No, no.
Starting point is 02:43:58 I mean, but that's one of the stories. I mean, I think the biggest story, first, though, is Christy. Noam getting fired ahead of DHS. The head of the Department of Homeland Security, losing her job being fired by Trump is a big deal. I think it's a victory of sorts. A very tiny, tiny, tiny victory, because you just going to replace her with somebody else.
Starting point is 02:44:19 You know, it's... They replaced her right. Yeah, and he's just as bad. He's a former MMA fighter. He's not looking for, he's not looking for quality in here. Oh, my God, bro. He don't get these fuck. You know what he do.
Starting point is 02:44:30 As long as you are going to do what he says, you win. You got it. I don't get a fuck of your last job, Chick-fil-A. You are hired. O'K. He don't give a shit. And it's not even any shame. It's no shame about it or nothing.
Starting point is 02:44:43 It's just like, yeah, it's my nigga. He's hired. Right. And, you know, address that's registered for this company. Do you know where that address is? Is there a problem with this contract? I'll tell you about it. Madam Secretary, the address registered to a political operative.
Starting point is 02:44:58 Madam Secretary, the company, and I'll give you an opportunity to respond. The company is registered to a political operative in Virginia. Do you know, just by way of example, whether this company that received $143 million in taxpayer dollars, has it ever done work for the government before? I don't know. I can't. The answer is it has not. And do you know why we know that?
Starting point is 02:45:18 because it was incorporated eight days, eight days before this contract went out. Oh, shit. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board? That $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters,
Starting point is 02:45:38 doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before, and is registered, apparently, or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course, one of the subcontractors of that contract, of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to you back when you were governor of South Dakota. The reason why I asked these questions is that this is taxpayer money. I got one more clip.
Starting point is 02:46:02 This is my man right here. This one right here, cue up the ether beat. How do you square that concern for waste, which I share. with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently? Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from
Starting point is 02:46:39 with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally that they needed to leave or we would detain them and remove them and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective. Ask you to run these advertisements. Is that right? We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed and since then as well. Okay. Did you bid out those service contracts? Yes, they did. They went out to a competitive bid. and career officials at the department chose who would do those advertising commercials. And the people that you ended up picking were people who had formerly done your political work back in South Dakota.
Starting point is 02:47:31 Is that right? No, that's not correct, sir. I think it is. No, it's not, sir. The individuals who, I believe the careers who they chose were two different media firms. there's been conversation about their subcontractors, but we have no legal authority to look into subcontractors on work like that. Okay.
Starting point is 02:47:52 And you're saying that you're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time. That's not my understanding. We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people. No, ma'am. No, ma'am. Sorry to interrupt. But the president approved ahead of time,
Starting point is 02:48:10 you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently. Yes, sir. We went through the legal processes. Did it correct? Did the president know you're going to do this? Yes.
Starting point is 02:48:25 He did. He got it to say it. And that's her job. He got to say it. One thing, Senator, I think would be helpful to know is how effective that communication is. Clean up time now.
Starting point is 02:48:34 Sorry. Overwhelmingly. It's a long clip. I'm letting it play. I mean, I personally, just, I mean, to me, it puts the president in a terribly awkward spy. That's a great way to word that.
Starting point is 02:48:49 And I just, I'm not saying you're not telling the truth. It's just hard for me to believe, you know. And the president, as I do, that you said, Mr. President, here's some ads I've cut, and I'm going to spend $220 million dollars running them, that he would have agreed to that. I don't think Russ vote
Starting point is 02:49:09 at OMB would have agreed to that it's something we have to defend I'm on the Appropriations Committee I mean my research shows that you did not bid them out
Starting point is 02:49:24 that you pick in fact one of the people you picked the strategy group I'm sorry Safe America Media was a company formed 11 days before you've victim and that the strategy group got most of the money and the head of that is married to your
Starting point is 02:49:48 former spokesperson. We all have friends who are qualified. I'm just, I'm just, most of us. It troubles me, quarter, a fifth to a quarter of a billion dollars. I'll pay of money. When we're scratching for every penny and we're fighting over rescission package, I just can't agree with, Madam Secretary. Are you still running those ads?
Starting point is 02:50:16 Senator, I did not have anything to do with picking those contractors. I know politicals at the Department of Homeland Security. I'm sure. I asked you some, lady. Are you still running? No, lady, hear me? Competitive bid process for that. Are you still running?
Starting point is 02:50:29 I think the ads are due to end here in March. I think within a week. So I'm not sure running. The one that is running is focusing on Angel families. Have you seen that? It is the one that's talking about this is our wife. This is why we work every day. It's for the angel families and their victims.
Starting point is 02:50:46 Yeah, I'm down to move on. You're right, John. I agree. That's a death of a career right there. There's a few things that made that audio, which is great to hear so important. One, she's losing goodwill on both sides of the aisle. That's never good for a Republican. When you've got Republicans grilling you and Democrats grilling you
Starting point is 02:51:05 and embarrassed by you and frustrated it, because it's one thing, to kill a bunch of innocent people. They can't live with that. But a lot of politicians can't live with you wasting $223 million. Yeah. Sadly. And that combo will make you unhappy
Starting point is 02:51:20 people on both sides. The other thing is she basically threw Trump under the bus. She did. The number one rule of working for Donald Trump. Is you don't do that shit there. Not only do you not do that, you get under the bus yourself. Right.
Starting point is 02:51:31 That's why you're getting the job and you know that. Yeah. Like it goes without saying. Exactly. So by making it look like Trump authorizes this when his whole thing is clean up waste and fraud, drain the swamp, all this shit. And this is a very clear, very clear, you know.
Starting point is 02:51:46 Yeah. I mean, you're talking about a company formed eight to 11 days before they get a bid for hundreds of millions of dollars from the government. They're connected to your people. It's clear nepotism. It's all those things, right? Cronism is my better word. It's all of that.
Starting point is 02:51:58 So when you see that play out, it's indefensible. It makes them look bad. And again, her performance at these hearings is awful. Horrible. She doesn't answer questions well. She's getting beat up by, again, Democrats and Republicans. She's super combative. Some of them, she mocks people.
Starting point is 02:52:19 She does exactly what Donald Trump does. And let's be clear, Donald Trump didn't fire her because of how Homeland Security is operating. He didn't fire her because ICE is a lawless gang that's killing innocent people and violating every rule known the man. He fired her because she's making him look bad. And she's making him look bad. She broke with Cardinal rule number one. Yep.
Starting point is 02:52:38 you gotta go. On top of the fact that even if she did it the right way like got the right companies and done, it's still a dumbass idea we're gonna run these commercials and these niggas gonna watch
Starting point is 02:52:49 and go oh fuck Fernando we have to get out of here why the fuck commercials of them looking like you know what I mean because the commercials look like it's for daytime television or for some like soap opera type of cop show vibe
Starting point is 02:53:01 and that's what she wants and that was the whole thing because she's in them and she's the star exactly but the fact that let's say all that was legally done and done right. It's a stupid fucking idea that that would slow anything down
Starting point is 02:53:12 with illegals. That illegals will see that in English and think we gotta get the fuck. You see them guns on them niggas? We gotta get a pot of here. That's stupid. Yeah, it's a bad idea. And that's the other thing Trump didn't like is that these commercials, that's what he was getting at here. The senator was getting at is this, you know, this is self-aggrandizement. You spend all this money
Starting point is 02:53:28 to make yourself a hero and, you know, and to make your face. Yeah, make you the face of this shit. Yeah, make you the face of everything. And it's, I mean, imagine wanting to be the face of Word. So. Yeah, they got her.
Starting point is 02:53:42 They got it. It's a rat. Clear the rights. Get the rights. But Mark Wayne Mullen, I think is his name. This is his new guy. When he's, when they asked Trump about him, he was like, he was like, she did a good job, but I like, I really like this guy. You know, basically like he's better.
Starting point is 02:53:55 And that scares me. Because I don't, because I think Trump believes that. I don't know what better means. It usually means it's going to be just as evil, but with a much better front, with a much better color. They know how to play. Yeah, exactly. This one knows how to play. play, which is going to be very, very dangerous.
Starting point is 02:54:09 This shit is sick. It's slow death. It's just, like, it's horrible to watch this whole fucking thing. It is. We've done such a phenomenal job that I won't line markup with my question. I was waiting for it. Yeah, that was a good question, too. I don't want to know what it is.
Starting point is 02:54:29 Oh, wait, no, I don't. We got a, we got a pour a little liquor for Jasmine Crockett's campaign. She ran for Senate. She, of course, is a member of the House of Representatives right now. And she ran for a Senate seat in Texas and lost the Democratic primary by, I think, just shy of 200,000 votes. Is that a landslide? I mean, she got about one million votes over a million. Her point got 1.2.
Starting point is 02:54:58 So not a landslide, but it was decisive. Okay. You know, I mean, it was decisive. I think it was a winnable race. Looking at the numbers, it was very much a winnable race. Latino voters were A, if not the deciding factor. They did not vote for her. They did not support her.
Starting point is 02:55:14 But when I talk to people on the ground, they say her ground game wasn't great. One lie I do want to dispel because the Republicans online have been creating this narrative that she should have stayed the House of Representatives. She reached for the Senate seat. She aimed too big and lost
Starting point is 02:55:28 and now she's out of Congress. Like she fucked up kind of thing. That's not what happened. Republicans redrew the districts in Texas so that a Democrat couldn't win the seat anymore. So she ran for Senate to stay in Congress, not to aim up. If she had not done this, she would have lost to the Republican in the Cs because they've redrawn the district. And that's what California tried to respond by doing the same thing.
Starting point is 02:55:48 They're basically rewriting districts so that instead of it being a safe Democratic district, they now lumping Republican voters into the district so that the Democrat can't win anymore. They literally just redraw the lines. So that's what happened. So she lost. I'm curious to know what she does next. So she's out of politics, as of right now? once her term ends, yeah.
Starting point is 02:56:07 I mean, she'll play out this term until the midterms, and then we'll see what happens about it. It sucks for Texas. Yeah, it does. Hair loss. Yeah, a lot of people for Texas is turning blue and that she was going to be a sign of that. Texas will turn blue one day,
Starting point is 02:56:21 but I'm not sure it's going to be the next four to six years. Put the zero at the end of that. Right, maybe, maybe, yeah. You might be right. Yeah, I'm going to ask you. I know. Did you know for real? Yes.
Starting point is 02:56:37 So listen, so I've been watching hours and hours and hours and hours of YouTube content surrounding the war, right? A few things really quick. I am going to play some clips. Okay. Thing number one. Everybody that talks about the Iranians says, them niggas is tough. facts. Everybody says that
Starting point is 02:57:11 they're kind of the last people that you want to fight because the fight is indeed what you will be in for. Everybody said that. What a cool rep to have, huh? That is dope. Isn't that a dope rep to have
Starting point is 02:57:25 like when it comes to war? I don't have a profound point. That's my only point. It is, though. So, you ain't just going to stomp over them like you could do to everybody else. So I'm going to play this clip from Iran's foreign minister
Starting point is 02:57:37 Abbas Iraqi. His last name in case I'm fucking it up is spelled A-R-A-G-H-C-H-I. I'm sure it is. You know it? That's a tough one. Yeah, I don't know. I can't read it anyway. Like the ear here, go.
Starting point is 02:57:56 Boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country? No, we have venting for them. You were waiting for the U.S. military to invade? the ground troops? Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them and that would be a big disaster for them. Oh shit. I love that. Mm-hmm. So you're saying that Iran is ready and willing to take on the U.S. military. That's what he's saying, everybody. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:58:23 Well, we were ready for this war even more than the previous war. So you can see, you know, the quality of our missiles, how much they are upgraded after the last war, because we learned lots of lessons. And we are prepared for any other eventuality, even, you know, a ground invasion. So our soldiers are prepared for any scenario. When I said we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for continuation of the war, no, but we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility, and we know that we can handle that. Are your allies, are your allies Russia and China helping you? money business.
Starting point is 02:59:08 Well, they are supporting us politically and otherwise. Exactly. Like, not yet. Everybody I've seen speak about this say that it could be the beginning of World War 3. They explain to me how because I'm really bad at geography. And I've especially been watching a gentleman named Professor Keang. I might be fucking that name up too.
Starting point is 02:59:28 He's the guy that predicted three things years ago. He said, A, Trump would win the election. B, he would go to war with Iran. And three, that Iran would win. A lot of people are predicting a win for them. I'm going to play this last clip and then I'll ask my question. Let's see, where's the clip? I am looking for...
Starting point is 02:59:52 I think their shit is raggedy. See from this map, this war, it is the end of the world. He don't play. This is my man right here. Both sides have the potential to destroy each other. It's really a question of how far do they want to go? All right. We can also say this is almost a game of chicken.
Starting point is 03:00:13 Okay? We can blow each other up. How far do you want to go? The problem is this. The problem is that the Iranians are Shia, which believes in martyrdom. And you've killed the religious leader. That means they're tough.
Starting point is 03:00:36 So they're willing to go very, very far. They're going to go all the way. He's saying that they're tough. The T.C. The T.C.'s countries are. Muslim, but they're materialistic. They love money. And also, most of the population are expatriates, foreigners.
Starting point is 03:00:48 90% of Dubai are foreigners. Guess what's going to happen if they suffer? They're going to run away. Okay? So this is not a fear matchup. The big question that people have is, first of all, all the Americans going to use ground troops. Because the only way that you can defeat Iran is by using ground ships, okay?
Starting point is 03:01:15 That's a big question we'll look at in the next few weeks. Will America send its army? Half a million, two million soldiers to topple the government. That's question number one. Question number two, nuclear weapons. If you lose a war, would you choose to use nuclear weapons? That's another big question that we have, okay? Now, the little bit question that we have is who gets involved?
Starting point is 03:01:46 Because this situation is so dire that Europe, okay? Specifically Germany, France, and Britain are talking about entering this war. And guess what? If that happens, it is possible that Russia and China will also enter this war on the side of the Iranians. This is World War III, okay? Because of the importance of the shirt of moves, because of the importance of the Middle East, everyone has to get involved at some point. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:02:22 My question is this, Mark, because I don't agree with how these wars start. I don't. I don't agree with us being the United States of Israel. I don't agree with us being under the thumb of or in control. I'm not with all that camaraderie, new, uh, uh, Newton hands. that fucking Nahu and them do. I'm not with that. However,
Starting point is 03:02:48 if my man goes out and starts a fight at the club and I don't agree with why he started to fight, I still got a ride. You can't sit at the bar while a man he's fighting. Not only do I got a ride, I hope my man wins. Right.
Starting point is 03:03:06 Right. My question to you is, do you want us to win this war? us as in America. We don't have to agree with why it started or how it got here. But once it's in the thick of it, aren't you or shouldn't you be rooting for a win?
Starting point is 03:03:29 Yeah, what the hell? No. Oh, shit. Not me. No, no, I don't root for a win. What I root for, because I know what a win would mean. What would it?
Starting point is 03:03:41 A win. Because there's a way that, as the United States, first of all, even the word we is doing very particular work in that sentence, right? Because I think about myself in the context of a global community as well. I don't necessarily think of myself just as a citizen of the United States, although I am. But when a lot of us who are even disconnected from the issue say we want to win, when you're thinking about the safety of the troops, the stability of our lives, all that stuff, I want that.
Starting point is 03:04:10 But I don't want that to come at the expense of the stability and safety of dignity. and the rights of other people. So as I watch this happen, I don't want a win any more than if your homies fighting. The first thing you want, what you're room for is a resolution. You'd love to come in there
Starting point is 03:04:28 cool this shit down, but you'll let's get out of here. Of course, yes. That's plan A. Yes. You know what I mean? And at every moment, you're hoping, if you're sane,
Starting point is 03:04:37 and as you're older and mature, you're hoping. Cool it has to prevail. At some point, even if punches get thrown. You don't want to now take it outside. You don't want to go to the trunk. You're right. But in this, we outside already.
Starting point is 03:04:48 Right. We outside. I don't want a loss because of what losses me. Right. And if we're talking about Iran in particular, there are consequences to an Iran, quote, unquote, win. What I'd like to see in the purpose of having an international community and Iplom, international bodies like the United Nations, for example, is to have people who can intervene to create some kind of resolution where you don't even have to have winners and losers. because the very framework of winners and losers requires a lot of people to die,
Starting point is 03:05:18 people's land to get annexed or taken, etc. What does Iran win look like here? So it could look here. It may not look that different except for the number of people who die. Okay. I'll give you a concrete example. Think about Vietnam.
Starting point is 03:05:33 The United States lost the Vietnam War. Right. By any objective measure, U.S. lost the Vietnam War. So if you say, what did that mean here? Well, it meant a lot of our uncles and aunts and friends and relatives died.
Starting point is 03:05:44 You know, and there was economic cost for the, for the war machine. And a whole lot of people got rich from that war machine here. So it also strengthened the gap between the have-nots and the have-gots. Those are the kind of things that I don't want to see, you know. But the Vietnamese won, but for the Vietnamese winning kind of meant resisting the imperial power. It meant making the U.S. say, you know, fuck it, this ain't worth it. You know, if you keep bullying somebody every day and they can fight, at some point,
Starting point is 03:06:09 the bully going to look for somebody else. Even if ultimately they don't lose, they don't want to fight it. fight that hard all the time. So in Iran, win could just look like resisting and keeping their land. In the same way that a Cuban win for the last 50 years
Starting point is 03:06:21 is meant keeping the imperialist at arms length. Because they want you to think that if Iran is successful, that means that they're going to take over the whole country and there's going to be a global caliphate and that Sharia law is going to control the whole world.
Starting point is 03:06:31 That's not what the Iranian... Iran winning a war of attrition with the U.S. would mean more than just the safety of their people. It would mean the crashing of our economy. the crashing of a dollar, us being without resources. I don't think so.
Starting point is 03:06:47 I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't see the evidence of that. But also, it depends on how we escalate, right? I mean, if this escalates, because there's always proxy wars, right? A lot of these wars are really Russia and China and other people fighting against the United States through other people. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 03:07:07 If this keeps growing to a World War II, World War, like I said World War II. scale. Okay. Then, yeah, the things you're talking about could happen. But that doesn't have to be, that's not even plan C. I think there's a lot of steps before we get there. This could stop in five weeks. This could stop in eight weeks.
Starting point is 03:07:24 And if the United States, rather if the Iranian military infrastructure is strong enough, they could, they could stare down the U.S. enough for the U.S. to back up. but allow the U.S. military to save face. Because that's what Donald Trump's not walking away with an L. Absolutely not. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Iran will defeat the United States.
Starting point is 03:07:44 Time will tell. And our drones that are being fired are very old drones. Our missiles that are being fired are very old missiles. They're very inexpensive. And Americans are using up very expensive air defense systems. Iran is knowing exactly what they're doing. We haven't even begun using our latest technology. And most of Iran's underground bases,
Starting point is 03:08:12 have not even been used yet. They have not even been opened up for operation. Iran has been planning for this day ever since the invasion of Iraq. They knew that at some point, the Epsine regime will go after. That don't sound like people only fighting for their safety. And therefore, they've been preparing themselves for many.
Starting point is 03:08:33 That sounds like a thing is geared up. That sounds like niggas ready for some bullshit since Iraq. We don't have to be. We've been. That's not just. That's the only way you can be safe. You don't want to play chicken with Trump, man. That's what resistance looks like.
Starting point is 03:08:47 Yeah, I mean, you have to have nuclear weapons. You have to have a weapons reception, what do you call, interception systems. You have to have all this shit just to be safe. Yeah, you need all of it. I mean, because you're going against the U.S., you're going against Israel. You're going against the most well-armed, well-resourced people. Yeah, I mean, even think that take to me sounds like American arrogance. You think we're going to be in the middle of war and people are all.
Starting point is 03:09:12 offering all of their might just to remain safe from us not to inflict harm anywhere. Yeah. I think that's a fact. Because we are the giganteur. At the end of the day, just like when you ask the question about how do you feel about like do you still want to win, right?
Starting point is 03:09:30 It's like I hate to sound ignorant, but it's like a part of you do want to win. You do want to kick ass it into the day. It's hard saying we, right? When if I'm on the phone with you, later and you get pulled over. I'm not going to hang up because I want to make sure you okay. Right.
Starting point is 03:09:46 And you are the most legal nigga I know. But that's our life here in this country. So yeah, it's hard to say we, but end of the day, this is us. It's a we thing, right? We got this dude in office. I knew for a fact it was no way that he was going to do this president thing and not have at least one real war.
Starting point is 03:10:01 That's not a only life. That's not our only life in this country. Oh, I don't know. But there's our only life or not, that's my reality as a black woman. If I'm on the phone with you, the most legal nigga I know and you get pulled over
Starting point is 03:10:14 I'm not hanging out because I need to make sure that you're fooled that's what my reality is I don't know about everybody else that's what my reality is but if you get hungry you can go eat
Starting point is 03:10:21 and if you get thirsty you can go drink water there are there are resources there are things that you need to stay alive that you have full access to I think you don't understand what I'm saying
Starting point is 03:10:31 I understand exactly what you're saying what I was talking about was me saying feeling comfortable with saying we right when I have nothing to do with nothing
Starting point is 03:10:39 bullshit I don't agree with nothing going on with Israel. I don't fuck with Donald Trump. All these things can happen and I'm an American, a taxpaying person, and it's still going to happen around me and there's nothing I can do about it. So when I say we, and I'm talking about that, I'm saying the fact that niggas still get shot
Starting point is 03:10:53 by police, people that we pay to protect us. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. I don't know why that's hard to understand. Because we black, we should be rooting for America to lose a war. No, what are you not going to get to my point? I think she said the opposite. She said, yeah, she said exactly the opposite. She says she feels weird saying we should be winning
Starting point is 03:11:09 this war when the country don't even give a fuck about us. That's what I was saying. So being on the side of we. But she says she does want us to win. But I want us to win because I've said it a thousand times on my platform and others, I am patriotic. I do feel like I'm an American. And I do. I enjoy American life.
Starting point is 03:11:26 I mean, I know that I talk from a place of privilege. But I also know that when I look at how other people live, I see why with the comforts that we have here. So let me ask you a question. And based on that, tell you saw what happened in Iraq war, right? We destroyed Iraq. We lied about weapons of mass destruction. Iraq is still being rebuilt. Are you happy we won in Iraq war?
Starting point is 03:11:44 In retrospect, are you happy we won Iraq war? I don't think I can ever even use the word happy when they come to war period. I just can't. Like I'm against war. At the end of the day, I am. War does not look the same as does the other places. That's why people, because a lot of people don't know what the fuck they're talking about, and I see
Starting point is 03:12:00 everybody having these open conversations, and people talking about shit like we've never lost. We lost Vietnam terribly. It's just, we don't deal with the shit on our grounds. The closest we've ever got is the 40s with Pearl Harbor. And that's fucking Hawaii. In 9-11.
Starting point is 03:12:15 In 9-11, okay, but that's different than your grandmother going to the supermarket to get some fucking radish and getting her head blowing the fuck off on the way back. That's how they live over there. Right. Because of us. I can't, exactly.
Starting point is 03:12:27 But that's what the award means doing that to somebody. I understand that. And that's why I can't be happy to win the award. I can't use the word happy because all of it is disgusting, but I also can't lie and say that a piece of me don't feel like if y'all start this show,
Starting point is 03:12:39 you better fucking win. You know what I mean? Because the way he's talking is like he's calling Trump's bluff. And you know, Trump is ready to drop the N-word, nuclear. Like, he's ready to do that. Oh, that ain't word. Calling, calling, framing that he's calling Trump's bluff still makes it seem like they're either instigating
Starting point is 03:12:55 or could do something to stop this. And they can't. They have always wanted, as long as there's been in Israel, they've wanted a greater Israel. And that means they want Syria, they want Iran, they want parts of Saudi Arabia, they want parts of Iraq, they want Lebanon, they want Jordan. They want all of it. And they believe that guys.
Starting point is 03:13:09 at least they use the language of God to tell them that God wants them to have it. I don't even think that's... Most of them are atheists, they just use that as a pretext. Point being, they want this shit, and they're going to use any excuse to take it. There's nothing Iran could do. Iran could sneeze, and they're going to say it's a provocation.
Starting point is 03:13:23 We see it in Gaza, we see it in Iran, we see it in Syria, we see it in Lebanon right now. It's like, I don't want to reinforce the language that the imperialists, and specifically the United States in this case, are somehow being provoked or instigated. They are the instigators. Of course.
Starting point is 03:13:43 Of course. They're bullies. And if he doesn't stand tall, I mean, I do think it's an interesting strategy to say we're waiting for you because to me, that invites a certain kind of response.
Starting point is 03:13:50 It sounds a little bit like bullshit, but I think you also have to do that. Sometimes you've got to bark. You got to talk shit. But that's the first thing I thought was like it sounds like bullshit. Even when he says, oh, we're using our old things.
Starting point is 03:14:02 They don't even know about the new shit we got. It's like, oh, you got a bunch of these shit on tubs. We got new guns. Right. Of course, what else you're going to say? You don't get up and say I'm scared. That don't sound like a bluff to me. I don't take that as a bluff.
Starting point is 03:14:11 Maybe I don't know enough. We got it. We got it. We got it. The U.S. has been sending weapons to whoever is asking for weapons that they support. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:14:23 Right? Also, they're spending a million dollars in defense to defend against the little $50,000 drone things. I ain't the greatest in math. But if you've been loaning out a bunch of weapons and all your weapons cost $1 million, $2 million, $3 million to defend against some shit
Starting point is 03:14:45 that is rocks and pebbles, like how you think it's supposed to turn out? I don't think that's a bluff. I think people have been sitting, I think, I don't, I believe my. I think they've been sitting laying and waiting for a big, bad, evil America to come. And yeah, we've been building and loading up
Starting point is 03:15:04 and waiting for y'all to bring y'all asses over here. We're making $500,000. thousands of these motherfuckers a day and we're ready. And for me, it just don't sound like, oh, it's just to protect just for our safety. What do you think the ultimate goal is? Who knows? I think that's their ultimate goal. I think their safety is the ultimate goal.
Starting point is 03:15:26 Okay, okay, okay. I think that's the ultimate goal. I'm only talking under the pretense of a war is happening. We've joined now, ladies and gentlemen. And like I said, it ain't them starting. It's not starting. Right. Whatever issue.
Starting point is 03:15:41 To audio listeners, it should. join the building. Why is this sitting here right now? Because she's mad. She's mad. He's mad at all that radical shit. He asked her to sit here. Oh, you wanted to get in on some of this? He asked her to tag in.
Starting point is 03:15:55 Well, because we ended in the pond. I was passionate over there about the... He was. Oh, get you shit off. I ain't suppressing your guy. I'm listening to your questions that you're asking. How do you figure that... I asked one question, which was, does Mark want us to win? Yeah, and then when Mona started talking,
Starting point is 03:16:12 you asked another question. What was the question? Did it sound like that person that was planning all of that stuff was doing that to be safe? Okay, yeah. Dog, they've never, ever, ever really taken an aggressive stance against us.
Starting point is 03:16:31 For the last 50 years, roughly, we've been hearing about Iran is coming next. We were kids, bro. We didn't know who Ayatollah, Humaney was, and all of that shit. We've seen niggas throwing rocks at tanks for the last 50 years. I'm 50.
Starting point is 03:16:42 So for the last 40-something years, we've seen niggas throwing rocks at tanks. I think Israel's overall goal is to make Israel damn near the whole Middle East. They're going to take Syria. They're going to take Lebanon. They're going to take all of these countries. And that's going to be Israel, what they did with Palestine, slowly, but surely over the last 40 years. They slowly took another piece and another piece and another piece and another piece. And the way that you incite this is you make that person right there, the big bad wolf.
Starting point is 03:17:08 You get the media on your side, Saddam Hussein. This is the big bad wolf. went and we took Iraq. So if you are Iran and you see what they just did to Gaddafi, you see what they just did to Saddam Hussein, you would be a fucking idiot not to be warring up or getting enough shit so that if they try it on you, that you can defend yourself. I understand that. I just don't think that peaceful people will continue to remain peaceful if you come fucking
Starting point is 03:17:32 with them like y'all keep saying. But I didn't pick the beef. It's like, yo. I'm nobody saying that. I'm only talking under the pretense of America's starting some shit. And this is the position now. Yeah, but you saying that, yo, the people that are thinking for safety wouldn't be doing those things. No, if I'm in jail, I'm doing my push-ups, I'm shadowboxing, I'm doing all that shit, just in case a nigger trying to push up on me and take my food.
Starting point is 03:17:57 I don't want to beef. Are you all saying that in this war, America's really in no danger? I think America's in danger. I think America is a hard of a war. Any time you start a warrior in danger. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Yeah, you start a fight with a motherfucker that you think you can win. A nigger could get lucky and punch.
Starting point is 03:18:12 you in your face and black your eye. A nigga could drop you. You could slip on the sand and get stomped out. And you could be the more superior fighter. I think America is severely underestimating them. I think they're looking at them like they're still this little, we ain't really where we can take this at any time. And they
Starting point is 03:18:28 over there like, we've been waiting for you. We've been training and preparing for this day. And if you come over here, you're going to be surprised to find out what we got. Look how easy we did this to Iraq. And at what cost though, right? Lives. It's not working. That's the thing, America being America again.
Starting point is 03:18:44 They just want to get money. I don't even really think they care to win or lose. They just want an ongoing battle so they can get money. That's right. It's going to. That's true, so. No, I don't think that. I think that they want to control oil.
Starting point is 03:18:55 I think they want to control resources. I think... Still money, but yeah. It's still money generated. But it's still a control thing. Because we still can be rich and you be rich. No, we want you to be this and we want to be super duper rich. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 03:19:09 It's a greed thing. You want to be the big dog at the table. And that's crazy to me. It's not. I don't think ideology plays a partner. I think that's how we justify the war. I don't think that they give a fuck about the women. I don't think they give a fuck about the children.
Starting point is 03:19:24 I think that's how they pass laws to say, yo, over there, they're mistreating women. Over there, they're doing these things wrong. We call it femo-nationalism. If America cared about that, they'd care about American citizens. Exactly, my point. If it was about ideology, we would be spending our resources to make sure every American person has health care. and lives a quality life. We wouldn't be worried about their quality life
Starting point is 03:19:46 when our qualities of life ain't right in this country. That makes no sense. Do y'all watch regular people that just video the bombs going on outside of their doors, their front doors? There's regular people who just bombs. Have y'all seen the black people that are stuck in Dubai because they don't watch the news and they went over there to party
Starting point is 03:20:04 and the consulate doesn't give a fuck and everybody in their comments on social media sites say, oh, you need to call, what are we supposed to call? The embassy. The bitch went live, made a video calling the embassy because the embassy answers the phone like, baby, we can't help you. I'm about to go.
Starting point is 03:20:18 We don't have a plan. No plan. We're fucked, guys. Good luck. You know what the worst part about this whole thing is? I'll just start getting some money, you know? Damn. And there you have it.
Starting point is 03:20:31 Good talk, guys. That was pretty good, you guys. It is coming in, passionate and spirited, man. Don't come in the end of the pod with fresh legs while I'm ready to fucking burn He's going to talk, man. I'm going home. That was a real question. Do you think we should win or lose?
Starting point is 03:20:49 That's a real serious question. Yeah, I wanted to know what we were rooting for. Like, I don't agree with what we're doing, but I don't want to lose it either. For now, me and me and Mark are going to share a spot like this. I like that. It's a Newark couch as the Philly mic. Because you're already, you're scared of us anyway, so.
