But I'm gonna be in that I'm gonna just find the building over there Somewhere and sit on the roof Fuck it Oh, that would be fine Let me ask you all a question If they stream this

And it's a reasonable fee $50, $500, whatever to watch What it would cost it? Would you all? Would that make you less inclined to go? No. But I would be okay with that As a last resort.

Yeah, it'd be fine. It's a feeling that you get When you're on the concert, certain ones. Yeah, especially as cold. You can't match that. You know what else is a good feeling? Keeping $10,000 in your party.

You ain't? Oh, no, dog. If it's 10 grand, I won't be. I won't be. I'm not, no. My nigga. Well, it'll be about it'll be expensive

from Rock Nation like how did you you look rather comfortable during the time of crisis. He looked confident. I got people in places. My man got some tickets. He paid Dash.

Dash got tickets. He called me. He only paid $750 or $1,000. He said he downloads, well. Yeah, Dash probably waited in that queue after $2 million people too. Maybe. He should resell him.

He could resit. Yeah. Oh, the discipline it took not to text somebody this morning. It did take a lot of discipline. Why don't you just go to, like, what a second market site is just buy them real quick? You call a discipline?

Yeah, my part, yeah. Is that ego? It's ego, bro. It's not discipline. You took the words on my life. It's ego. I don't think it's ego. Why?

Come on, Jersey. To not do that this morning. Why's that ego? You have relationships with people? I'm not saying I'm against doing it. I think it's cool. I was doing it. It's early.

There's a way to do it. I got you. I'm not saying I'm above doing it or I'm not going to do it. Soon as tickets go on sale, you on the phone calling a nigga? Yeah, that looks a little way that's done. That looks a little crazy. That's just not the way that that should be done. First day is.

It's crazy. That's not what I was talking about. I was saying ego is, because you could just afford to buy the tickets online. Do you not want to buy them online because you got so much influence? Like, I'm not paying tickets. No, it's not that. I'm texting somebody. I'm texting somebody to give me the point person, the person that has the reserve.

He buys. The reserve joints. I'm buying mine. Yeah, Joe buys. Yeah, I'm not looking for no freebie. At all. I'm buying my. But you got that from.

You're one of the only niggas that I see that does that. I watch plenty of events where you say, you'll give me the point person. I'll pay tickets for me and my people's. I've heard you. heard you do that. I pay for tickets too. I don't get a fuck. No, I'm not saying, I'm just talking about with him.

His position, he could just get it for free, but he'd choose to buy it. I could get a lot of tickets for free. I prefer to buy it. I don't want to. Is it supposed? It's a waste of a favor, first of all. Yes.

For sure. Like, if it's not going to kill me to buy tickets if they're reasonable to buy. Got it. This is the one to call in, though. If I can't find them to buy, yeah. This is the favor to call in. Yeah.

But you think free free, you're going to just get it, right free? Yeah. That's what I'm saying? Some niggas just some niggas use that favor Yeah, I don't be a favor You think You're fam What's reasonable as relative

It is And dope unintended I doubt if I'll be going to have Them shit says You crazy Yeah I'm not paying Bills Yeah

That's what you're calling A 700 You're 500 You pay face value I'll pay face I might even pay a little overface I might pay double face I'm not going to be paying

No 10 grand for no tickets I'm not paying Super Bowl Boles prices for a concert, my nigga. That part of it. Well, me and Mark will tell you all all about it. No doubt. I'll live to y'all. I'll FaceTime one of y'all too. Like, what's your favorite joint?

The Roos picnic, y'all, y'all, y'all might want to change your mind with that shit. All right y'all are talking to Philly jokes. Y'all got me on. Don't. Mark. Mark. Mark.

Mark. Mark. Look me out. Done. Okay. So we got the huge JZGQ interview who he still believes that we are not getting a JZ project this year.

Oh, that interview made me feel like he's not there yet. Yeah, he's not there. Yeah. I think he's been working on music and he ain't found any like. I don't think we get in a project. Like I told you. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong.

But I still do not, nothing in that interview made me think there's an album coming. I'm not a lot. I was thinking an album was coming through 25 minutes of that interview, but when he got to like, I'm not really sure how I want to sound in

2026 or whatever he was saying. I was like, oh, yeah, he's out there. Unless y'all just think he's lying. I said I didn't think an album was coming. And the interview was confirmed. Oh, you think he's lying. He's human. I know niggas call him hove.

He's still human. But that nigger, that nigger got music coming, bro. I just don't think it's any time soon. I'm not saying he's never making an album. I don't think he's coming. Well, when they asked him about why he didn't feature on the clips album and he was like, well, I think my first words need to come from me.

Yeah. That, to me, confirmed. Something is coming at something. point. For sure. But he's all, like I said before, he does that in a verse. He do that. When he's feeling something or he got some shit to get off his chest, he'll go do.

But when you say it's going to come from me, that takes it away from a feature verse. Yeah, I'm not saying a feature verse. Like, even if, like he did when he had his opinion about how everybody was talking about title. He did that shit as a freestyle on the stage at, I think it was the B-side show. Like, he can get his point off in a verse without it being an album. Or a whole song. He just released a track. Yeah.

I don't, nothing says album. That's all I'm saying. I think he got a lot to say, and I don't think a verse is going to cover everything that he has to say over the last, what? When was 4-44 came up?

Shit. 10 years ago. Yeah, versus since then. A few. Yeah, the album since didn't. He did the Carter's. Well, true. J-Let?

Yeah, then stop. No. He's so disrespectful, man. I used to be so fucking disrespectful. But so, so I'm thinking, still, nothing's coming out this year. I think maybe fourth quarter, but I don't think it,

I don't think an album as being time with the concerts was sort of the point. Like, I don't think, like, these concerts is coming out and you're going to see a Jay-Z album coming out that time. I could be wrong. Like, Ice, I hope I'm wrong. Yeah, I would love to be wrong. Can't wait.

All right, so, Hove sat with Frazier for GQ and did an interview that all these clips released on the day we're recording. Somebody up there loves us. Somebody up there loves us. They asked them about a bunch of shit. His name being dragged through the mud for the last year. They asked him about the battle,

which seems to have people in a tidbit and a frenzy about it. Super Bowl, album plans. A lot was covered. And I do want to shout out Frazier Thorpe from GQ. He absolutely bodied this interview. Really good questions. Had insightful questions.

Had quotes from lyrics just off the cuff. It seems like well researched. He bodied that. You know, Fraser's great. Shout out to Frazier. Here we go. Here's a clip. And I'm asking about the Kendrick and Drag Beef.

We love the excitement. And I love the sparring and the music you get. But in this day and age, it's so much negative stuff that comes with it, they almost wish it didn't happen. Really? Yeah, because it's not, it's almost like it's a final thing. Now, people that like Kendrick hate trade. Yeah. No matter what he makes.

No matter what he says, and it goes far too. It's like attack on his character and his thing and it's like, I don't know if I love that. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it's helpful to our growth. with the fallout lands especially on like you know on social media which takes place every day

you have these pods of cult the stand armies fighting yeah and it's like it's too far yeah it's like bringing people kids in it yeah and it's like I don't like that you know maybe I've grown in a space

that probably you know I sound like the old guy wagging the thing but I think we can achieve the same thing as far as like sparring with music with collaborations more so

than breaking the whole thing apart. It could stand it before because there was no social media and there was no thing and you know you had the battle and it was fun and then you moved on. Right. Right now I don't know if it could stand it with the technology that we have. Because it takes up so much oxygen.

It takes up so much oxygen. Yeah. Now it's just like every day they're just trying to get. They're still talking about it. Not just talking about it. Not like, yo, this song, I like this. I was like trying to tear down. I didn't love to do this.

Many of your life. It's like trying to, you know, wreck this guy's marriage or this guy's relationship with his child. And it's like, I don't know, man. I don't know if, I don't know if it's worship at this point. Yeah. I don't know. It's interesting.

Again, I love the idea that we got so much music and such a short period of time. Great music. Just everything around it was just like, man, It's like taking us A couple steps back. Yeah. And we've just grown so much that I don't know

if, I guess I'm going to say it. I don't know if Baddalen needs to be part of it. Oh my God. Sean Carter. I did I have this disappointed. I do because I know it. I know what it sounds like. I know what it feels like.

Buddy. No. I'm glad that he recognizes it. Yeah, buddy. He don't care. No, he don't care. This was, uh. I'm off this.

Yeah, I didn't love this take, especially, like, why not? Couldn't disagree more. I was outside when Nas and Hove was a thing. It was divisive. Super ugly bringing kids into it. Super ugly was like, I live in kind of in a baby seat. It didn't come with what the shit that happened was. It's not even close.

It's not even close. I think it's a, uh, uh, social media amplified it. I drop a water in a pool, bro. I agree. I disagree. I totally. You got, you got one man that's being labeled as a certain thing forever. And social media just amplified it.

Back in those days. I'm even doing that shit too. Dre Day? Well, that's why I fuck your bitch, you fat motherfucker. What, Jay said? What did you say? What did you? I fuck your girl.

That's something that happens in our community all the time. That's nothing. No, what I'm saying is Snoop and Dre was literally calling people pedophiles. Literally. I don't remember that. They was. That's what I said. Go back and listen to fuck with Jerry Day.

I wasn't around for that. I just think that to his point, I think that the social media thing takes it to a different stratosphere that we didn't have back then. I remember literally me and my man going outside of work when they were teasing the, yo, we got a new Jay-Z shit. We got a, it was a thing.

It was a regional thing. It wasn't an international thing. You get what I'm saying? I think it's a drop in the bucket. So you said hip-hop outgrewed. Because that's the only thing that changed is hip-hop grew to an international level.

No, social media is now putting the shit in front of our faces every single day. It did, but it didn't. Because in the real world, Drake still plays and no one looks at it funny when you play Drake. Tell us.

You, listen to this. This discourse only lives on the internet. That's not. Yeah, but that's, the internet is our lives. It's not. No, it's not. It's not true. No, it's not true.

That's not true. That's what it's just sales. That's what your niggas can. Your niggas can say that theoretically. Today's society, the internet plays a huge part of niggas lives. Niggers wake up and check their phone before they say their prayers. Y'all can say whatever the fuck y'all want to say. The internet is a lot of people's lives, especially the younger generation.

Okay. If Drake wants to go on an arena run this summer, he can and will. This is stopping. absolutely nothing. It is discourse on the internet and that is different from discourse in real life. Somebody shot at this man's house where his family lives. You can't say that the internet is not playing a huge part in what niggas see every

fucking. That has nothing to do with the internet though. That's been happening. That's not true. That has that been happening in rap beats before that have niggas be getting shot at. They house a shot up and shit prior to the internet. By niggas that was beefing, not by fans that don't know the other niggas that they're shooting at. John Lennon

got killed by a fan. So does Elena. I agree. I agree with it. I agree with it. I agree with it. I agree with the internet. We can't act like the internet

as this place is disconnected from our life. A lot of our lives are lived on the internet. But at the same time, I do think that we can't reduce everything to how people are talking about something more on the internet. I think that for me is the point. I agree with you.

Like, the internet is important. But at the same time, like... What Tyler said about the internet? Turn your phone off. Turn your phone off. Like, there's a whole world where Drake is... Like, you can go to the internet and think the world is one way.

And then you can go outside and go to a club, a party, a thing. And it's just different. It's not that. It's not that. That's what I'm saying. But that's easier said by the niggas that's not affected by the shit that's happening. I'm with you. Because I watch everybody besides you.

I watch people and you, but people up here when things are being said on the internet, we have addressed it. You are one of them. Yeah. I'm one of them. So, and we are the ones that affected. So the person that's affected, whatever mind tricks at this play is just easy to say over here. Like, oh, it's just the internet.

No, it's not. I'm a person that's affected. I'm just saying that's not the only story we should be telling. Like, in addition to that, like, I get frustrated with people saying I'm in the internet. But there's the time I just go outside and I realize people, you know, don't think that. But, Mark, so, look, and you could get frustrated and no disrespect to you. But in the social scheme of things, you and Drake are light ears of followers. He's the president and I'm a voter.

No, not even. It's bigger than that. So now when this man is- Why don't you watch yourself, yeah. That's my name. I don't know. I don't know, I don't know, Drake. I'm just saying, this is my means.

So what I'm saying? Yeah, he's infinitely more. So now when he walks outside, you don't know the effects that this shit is having on somebody's mental health. Fuck Drake. We're not even talk about Drake and Kidrick.

I'm just talking about the magnitude of the internet and how it could play on somebody's real life. We can't minimize that. So for me, just to take it back to the whole point in the connect, and I'm not defending Drake because I think what Drake did was wrong too.

And when y'all are done, I'd like to talk on the topic. You bought this nigga's wife into it. You bought him hitting his wife, all of that shit into it. Now this nigga could put, potentially lose deals getting looked at as a woman beater. I think all of the shit is stupid, but the internet magnifies it in a way that we never had before.

I think that, just on the whole thing, I think, one, as you get older in a culture or in society, you start to look at shit different. And you start to get a little nostalgic, and you start to forget about the impact of the shit that you did. It's hard, and I think there has to be a little more self-critique there. Like, if he says, look, I made super ugly, that shit went too far. I saw how that played out.

And so now it's that times 100 because of the thing. internet I kind of get that point. That's what he said though. He said, y'all, I regret it. I get that. He said that then he regretted. But what I'm saying is that to me, but he still doesn't regret the battle. He just regrets going too far.

To me, the answer to this is not to say we don't need battles in hip-hop because the battle to me is an essential part of hip-hop. The competitive nature of it. And no, we can't all just get on a track and kill a beat together and see who's better. Some of that shit is about the adversarial nature of it. That is what hip-hop is about. That's the essence of hip-hop. Whether it's B-Boyin, whether it's B-Boyin, whether it's Grafright.

He spoke to that because he said all the other parts are not in hip hop no more. He said breakdancing was a part of it. It's not here anymore. And I hate that I'm saying. He said graffiti. He named a couple street artists, but he was like, it's not really a mainstream, a part of hip hop like that anymore. The DJ used to be the DJ and then the rapper. Not here no more.

You don't know these DJs. I didn't like that either. Yeah, I didn't like that. Yeah, I disagree with all. Yeah. We were just talking. Yeah. I don't think so.

If he's looking at it from this point of view, It's not evolving. It sounds like we should. It's like, let's get rid of the real essence of hip hop and just making a commercial music thing. I don't like how that feels as somebody who grew up as a hip-hop head. I think when money comes into it,

sometimes it's out of your control. Unfortunately, I think that when the big brands start taking it, it's like basketball. Like now niggas not competitive in basketball no more because there's so much money in it. Niggas is not praying for pride or ego. Michael Jordan's playing 82 games. Like, yo, my arm got to be falling off

for me not to be competitive and get on the court and bust your ass. Now these kids be like, yo, my toe hurt, I ain't playing. We also just saw a fairly civil, competitive rap beef between fairly mainstream artists

and Joey Badass and Ray Vaughan and them last year was a fucking melee, and granted they're not Hove and Kendrick, but it was still just competitive hip-hop that didn't involve no mudsling and no kids, no babies, no nothing. So to dismiss battling as a part of hip-hop because that ruined it, I think, is...

No, I didn't say that. No, Hoved it. No. But the, but the, thing is where do we stop the line? Kids and wives, like you said. Yeah. With Joey Badass and them, they weren't taking personal shots at each other's families and potentially losing niggas deal. That's my point. That's the solution.

I'm saying. It's like, don't get rid of, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Like most said, in black on both sides, like, we act like hip hop is a giant that hills away from us. And we are hip hop. We can say, let's have the battles, but let's make some rules. I agree. That's all I'm saying.

I can get rid of the battle, though. And that only, that only work, like, when these two niggas that really don't like each other, a lot of times that rude shit go out the window. And that's always been the case. And that's the difference between the Joey Badass in them battle, which was, hey, we just sparring, basically. And these two niggas were,

I don't like you. And I've been waiting for you. So now I want to end you. That's what I'm saying. I'm listening to y'all talking. Is like, do we realize what this shit has evolved into? Do we realize how many lives are being lost? Like, we're just speaking, hip-hop has evolved.

The beef has evolved. Everything evolves. If that was the case, nigga, the breakdances wouldn't have to go get another job. Certain DJs wouldn't have to have a 9 to 5. Everything would have, when things get phased out. That's what happens. He's just keeping up with the times and speaking as an eldersman in the culture. Yo, hey, this is what this is. This is what's happening and shit like that.

We could want to hold on to the past dreams all the time, but it's not that anymore. It's not. Period. You can't go out there and tell them niggas over there in Brooklyn or Chicago and, you don't do this. They're not listening to anything. And that's what is consumed. That's what we consume. Or not us, but the kids consumed.

what gets the numbers and him being who he is he's not going to sit there and cosign that so i understand what he's saying i'm not me too my four that's fine you guys are passionate about it but i agree with like some of it was all over the place but j z has transcended hip-hop you don't get to where he is without transcending so i do appreciate this level of maturity from him i appreciate his unique point of view that only he can kind of give from his viewpoint. But when you transcend hip hop, you got to be aware that sometimes, like I said, some of the stuff you're looking at,

you're not just speaking about culture. Like, so when he says that tagging is out of, is no longer in hip-hop, I vehemently disagree and don't really understand that from him as an art collector, knowing the story of Basquiat, knowing the story just hearing

Nas writers just I can't I can't accept that from Jay Z that's some interview shit yeah when I went to the restaurant that I spoke about

in Staten Island Shawne's house before I left she said yo can you please can you please tag this wall in some of the famous venues that we've been to

it's a thing to tag the wall in jail we tagging up is still a it's a cultural thing it's a culture thing when

is on Jennifer Hudson and ends it with breakdances. Like, we're not really talking about the hip-hop mainstream, mainstream hip-hop, record-labeled hip-hop. That's a culture conversation, and Jay-Z is a part of culture, so I can't. I can see how you'd be separated from being a multi-billionaire 60-year-old. And that's cool. Like, I'm not mad at it, but I think it was a little dismissive of these elements that are still active. And important. Yeah, hip hop started

Hip hop started on Sedgwick at a fucking house party at a party so every hood could come together and fucking get to the shit. You can't tell me that you go to a party with one of the playlist DJs and then go to a party with a real DJ

and tell me about the time that you had. That part. You can't, there's nothing that Jay-Z can tell me that says that that's not a cultural thing. It's still important. Got it. I know what you're saying. I think his talking points are

important, but they're not addressing I think he mean mainstream. Like, you don't see little kids breakdancing no more. Like, it's tagging going on, but not from a wide view. You know what I'm saying? It might not be breakdancing, but look how important dancing on TikTok dance. Hip hop dance.

Hip hop dance. Yeah. That's true. No, dancing, period. Dancing period. And when kidding playing all that shit was out, my older brothers, they was trying to come up with dances. All the niggas that could fight, they would go to school, and have dance battles.

Shumping all of that shit I'd be on trying to. Dancing. Look at what dancing was and what it meant for some people versus what it is today and what it means today to these kids and these apps and these streamers. We've seen the last 10 years of people trying to get a record hot by coming up

with some sort of dance on TikTok. Successfully in a lot of cases. Dancing kind of had a resurgence though because it did go away for a minute. They stopped dancing for a while. I guess with TikTok. It's been a while that it's been back. Like you said about 10 years.

Yeah. It's come back. And also just thinking globally. And there's a cultural relevance to dancing from hundreds of years back. Even hip hop dance. Like, hip hop dance is a genre when they start teaching dance class. You know, you got the waltz. It's a DTFSTL.

I just think it's a huge mistake to say because something is not mainstream or commercialized that it fails to exist. Right. Yes. But he said it's dismissed. He doesn't. they fail to exist, though. He's saying it like his thing. He said he's dead.

He said there are no longer, those elements are no longer part of hip hop. That's not true. That's not true. That's not part of mainstream. And that's a very parochial view too. Like, if you look globally,

people are still B-Boy. People still are. I mean, people are still graphing. I go, I'll talk about around the world and I see people still tagging walls. It's right. It's just, there's just, there's just too much hip-hop culture

that's still tied to the essence to say that to me. I agree. Got it. So, like, you go to Asia, dancing in Asia, hip-hop dance in Asia. Man, they're still up-rocking in- No, it's huge, though. I'm just saying.

And one thing he did say, which was kind of contradictory to his point was it's an Olympic sport now. Right. I get what you were saying. It's main street. They got it, so it's dead. But, nah. I mean, it went from that to

you can get a gold medal for this shit now. It's crazy. Also, when it comes to battling, like some of Mark said, man, we, we and this is a very, competitive genre filled with a lot of ego and a lot of people that didn't go to therapy and learn the best way to express themselves to one another. So you're going to have feuds. You're going to have runnings.

You're going to have battle. But to only highlight the negative that come from battle means that we're skipping some of the positives that come from battle. and again, for Jay-Z to be the one saying it, you to me are the beacon of some of the positive that come from fucking battle. You and Nause, the two niggas, they got it on, one of the best battles ever, are two pillars in business.

Yeah, yeah. Y'all to perform together, y'all to do songs together, y'all answered the fans' requests, wanting to see all that shit, but y'all matured. y'all matured. Like, I think that should be a part of hip hop story too.

One of my favorite things about me talking to banks or any of the niggins I ever beef with game, any of them is the fact that we could talk. We talk. Yo, we didn't see eye to eye. We was in clubs and fought. We fucking got heated. We did the disc tracks. But now, as you grow up, like hip hop is 50 years old.

We should be allowed to grow up. I did take that away from what he was saying. It's also contradictory in the fact that. he was talking about Kendrick's huge year in the Super Bowl and all that shit and a lot of that was off of the battle. So there was a lot of contradiction. I think, you know, I'm just saying

you should be allowed to beef with people, make amends with people, have hindsight, look at where you maybe made some mistakes. Hold yourself accountable. For a lot of us hip-hop people, hip-hop, we all didn't go, we were not all well-schooled. We didn't all come from the two-parent household,

So some of these things Like fucking Accountability and yada y'all We had to learn From hip-hop From trial Another thing Which is hold up man

Let me go That's another thing that I had a problem with With his Kendrick and Drake stuff Because yeah Fanbase is taking too far They do I agree with that

They do Yeah you would hope That people don't bring up Kids and want to destroy your personal life. All of that's fine. But on the accountability tip, if you go out there

and beg a nigger to start with you, if you go out there and insist that we have this dance because we've been the best for too long, just me and you for 10 years, then part of that you've got to be willing to take all that comes with.

That's part of battle. part of battle is risk assessment especially if you think you was going to get a one-up and now in the middle of the fight you realize a nigga stronger than you do all of that is part of the tango. I don't want to be in a hip-hop where that tango don't get to exist.

Now, all of these talking points, I agree with everything he said if we switch the conversation to drill. Yeah. Because then it's not worth it. to me. But that's where it gets tricky. It's not, it's not where, but we, but he

didn't. He wasn't having a drill conversation. He wasn't talking about smoking on rolling up such and such. Dicking up in graves. We he wasn't talking about all of that. When hip-hop was getting scary evil, it wasn't all of all battles need to stop. It wasn't

all of that. So now when two niggas get together and seemingly to my knowledge nobody got hurt, even when it's talk about Drake House getting shot up, I can't attribute that to Kendrick versus Drake. All I get from that

is the two best doing their best in battle and there was a victor. And yes, social media is mean. But the block used to be mean. School used to be mean. Shit used to be mean. Sorry.

Young guy, I just don't want to live in a hip-hop where you can't battle somebody. Where you go in the club and you can't say to a nigga, yo, your sneakers is whack. Like hip hop we're talking about. You could get shot. I'm about so you get killed for that shit today.

So now you have to adjust. You got to adjust, my nigga, like, it's, but I just attribute, I just attribute the whole Jay-Z thing is to, like, the, the, the drug dealer dude that spent 40, 50 years in prison. Yeah. Right?

And he got all of this wisdom from some mistakes that he made, some good, some bad, and he just put it all in, compiled all of data. That's how I took it. I took it like, this is the old head nigger

that spent 40 years in jail. He had life. He gave his time back. He came home. And now I'm trying to teach you niggers or put you guys on a different path. That's what I attributed it to. I didn't really look at it like

he was shitting on hip hop. I just looked at it like he had information. I'm not saying it. No, no. I don't think he was shit. I'm not saying I'm just looking at it. Like he had more information and he was the wise old owl

trying to guide the people. That's what I do. Niggas J. Z done shot at niggas in Harlem World. Jay Z done shot at niggas you knew, didn't. It's a long list. And me? Jay Z, when the fuck did Jay Z put the guns down? He thought it was buttoned up.

Ordinary Joe. There was quite a few Jay Z shots. Like a Nat, like a Nat was bothering him, right? I'll be back for you. It's another thing in hip hop we need to start appreciating. And I see it starting to happen probably over the last maybe three, four years. It's maturity. Because that's all this is.

True. And what happens, hip hop was always young. Nobody really wanted to see hip hop get old. Now, like you said, Joe, hip hop is 50. It's a lot of 50-year-olds in hip-hop. 70-year-olds. Yeah, but I'm just 50-plus. Now you see them giving the other side of the game.

We need to appreciate people maturing out of the shit that might have been dope 20, 30, 30, years ago. But again, it's a personal thing that you chose Kendrick for the Super Bowl. It's like, oh, man, he's choosing the side and he's putting, and he's not. Like, I don't have, what I have to do with that? I chose the guy that was having a monster year. I think it was the right choice. Word. It wasn't in some sort of alliance to a battle. Yeah. What I care about them two guys battling, like, what I got to do with me? Or have had it. Have fun. Um, it's almost like, not on just me, by the way. They drag everybody in it. Like, everyone's, part of this conspiracy to

undermine Drake, I guess. But, like, what the fuck? This might be my favorite part of the whole. I'm fucking Jay-Z. Or do respect him. I'm fucking old. Dude, respectfully.

Like, for what? To what end? It couldn't mean like these guys just don't like it. And I think they haven't liked you for a long time. Before you had anything to do. Wow, I think this has been brewing just like me and Nause was brewing. Yeah. It didn't happen at the summer jam. That happened, the Lexon TV sets, the minimum, whatever. It was, it was a whole bunch of stuff leading up to that point. Neff bleak, what is the miff bleak slugs in your hat, right?

It was slugs in your hat. It was a bunch of like little things that led up to that point. And then when it happened, it happened. I actually regret that, because I really like nods. It's a really nice guy. But also to your point, like, I remember I was like 10 or 11. when that happened. I was like... Well, I was on your side. Yeah, yeah, I could clearly. But my position was I can't go out and buy stomatic

or ask my parents to buy stomatic but I'm gonna borrow. All right, all right. Yeah. That was hilarious. It was. It was. Charisma, yo.

I just like him going, addressing a lot of the shit. Just the capitalism shit. He addressed the, all the shit that's been said about Jay-Z. Like, he's J-Z. A lot of the shit you put on Hove is stupid

I think we've said that up here But we're Hovenders So I mean we're gonna say that Yeah I love that's just a simple enough line I'm fucking Jay Z Z Yeah

Fuck I can't fucking Hove Yeah respectfully That's a battery That is a very That is a very JZ thing to say Yeah

I think it's also accurate Yeah And what a just polite way To sun everybody Yeah All hope is going to do is come out and sun everybody, and you're not going to realize it to a fucking years later. I'm a hove.

What do I have to do with this who and Annie? I'm picking the hot eyes. You don't have better things to do than worry about these two. And the respectfully is what does it. Oh, that's not the respectfully. You, you know. But you got a car that's cool with me. He's been doing this in his whole career just shitting on people.

I love that. Never changed, buddy. Absolutely never changed. That's a great interview. On this interview, I wanted to ask you what I thought about the Jake Cole remarks. What were they? What were they? What did he say?

What did he say? What did he say? What did he say? What did he say? What he said? What he said? Where did he stand with Cole today? Let's go, Frasier.

You got the clip? Oh, I don't have the clip. No, I have the script, transcript up here. But I'm looking for it. So you keep going on. Well, he asked him where he's still with Cole. And he was like, obviously, there's some behind the scene

audit stuff and he didn't want to he wasn't holding cold back he wanted him to go ahead and find his own way I would give you the tools but you do it on your own I'm listening to that like

we got some issues behind the scenes and I just wanted to know if anybody else picked up on it or if y'all thought to say I got the goal you got it? You got it? You want the clip or you want to just it don't matter. He said I was Mark. He said I was giving him a chance to take his talent and show it to the most people possible, but his way. I didn't say, here's this record from Stargate and you're putting it out.

Like I forced Bleak to make Memphis Bleak is. Bleak is my little brother. He has to listen to me. But for Jay Cole, he has to find his own direction and I'm going to give him the tools. Stargate made humongous records with Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa, Black and Yellow. Biggest songs in the world. You don't want to go sit with them? Fine. I don't have any negative feelings for him. I'm actually super proud of him and what he's done. It's, oh, okay. It was a little more because they asked them

where you stand today. But I took that as I tried to Yeah. You ain't one listening. You ain't listened. You ain't listened. I tried to what?

I tried to guide you this way. You didn't want to listen. Go figure it out. Oh, shit, you did. Okay. And then we also look at But also like if you had listened, you might have been somewhere else,

but I'm glad you are where you are. You were where you wanted to be on your own. Yeah. And, you know, again, I look up all Cole's albums, everything. All is him now. So he obviously went back and bought everything. I could see some little issues in there. I didn't take it as issues from Hove.

I took it as, hey, man, I tried to steer you one way. You want to do it your way. And God bless me. Good luck. That's how it happened. That's how I took it. Cole may feel a different type of way, but that's how I took it. Yeah, I chalk it up.

I don't think we're ever going to find out there. Yeah. Hopefully not. To collect. No, fuck you speak for you. yourself. I want to know that one. I want to know what's going. Are you crazy?

Is anybody ain't as mature as you, my G? All right. I'm mature. I said, I gave my opinion. You gave your opinion. I'm not mad at your opinion. I'm mature. You know what's funny about you?

You paint yourself like that, but in real life, you don't hurt all the tea. That's why you find. In real life, you know all the tea. You're the T spot. You're the Chinese spot. T come my way, I'm not outside. Like rejecting it.

Yeah, you're absorbing it. Like if somebody tell me some shit, they tell me some shit. You'll be like, yo, yo, man, get off my phone. I don't want to hear that shit, man. I don't want to hear that. Yeah, but then he come on here like, no, yo, unfortunately, if we could just stop the violence. Niggins, shit.

Joy. Part of maturity, my nigga. Let my niggas grow, man. I want to know that after a year old matured. I want to know this. You lie. Shut your ass on. I want to know, too.

But they're not going to tell us. Because they keep dancing around. That's why I want to know. Like if nobody say nothing, but you just see little shit. When Cole comes up here. If I just sit and focus long enough, I can figure it out. That's what I'm saying. Is it a situation?

Like, I ain't really put too much thought or energy into this. Like, I'm kind of just performing. But if I just sit still for two nights, I'll figure it out. Is it a situation that you can figure out? Oh, sure, I can figure out. I can definitely figure it out. But I try not to be that invested in people's shit. Before I was in my lap, then cool.

But now, if I go home and I'm trying to be built out, the science guy with just connecting shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it's that deep. I think it's exactly how he laid it out. I tried to push you in one way.

It didn't work out. You go do your old thing. And Cole probably feels a way about his back catalog being old still and he done built the shit up his own way. So he should, I think it's that. I don't think it's really much deeper in that. I don't think it's anything.

That's pretty deep. I mean, it is. That's pretty deep to me. But it's not. Hey, you go your way. We tried it this way. Hey, bygones be bygones. No love lost.

And we'll never speak. Be seen together. rap together, be featured together, never anything together for the rest of life and I'll appear closer to push a tea than I will, this guy that I broke and took from nothing in North Carolina to one of the biggest rap superstars, just like I wanted

to on the backstage DVD when I was looking for people eating the cereal. You were not going to get me to believe that. Nope. Well, Joe, why don't we since he's doing, obviously there's a camera interview that Cole is doing, so it's clear he's willing to mend some fences. Why don't we get Cole up here

and ask him? Mark Began. I'm talking about you doing it I'm not begging nobody to come up here and talk Mark. Just say you like the Civic. That's hard you got to say. There's nothing wrong with flipping burgers. I think everybody should go with

it comfortable speaking. That's true. That's what I think. And I don't shake ass for a fair interview. Look at Mark. Mark won that interview. Look at maturity. What?

No, I never shook ass. No, that's about that. Oh, okay. I think everybody should go with it comfortable speaking. That's my church should not. You know, there's some snickering going on over there. You all identifying with something I said.

That was funny? What happened? I said something that was funny We just told my niggas We just told my niggas We're very funny I'm just talking My niggas

Yeah Why don't think Are you gonna say that Why the fuck you went to go sit over there Nick? Not with Camin'clock I'm just talking about with anybody Clean it up

You know what I'm saying That's my man So I gotta clean it up I had to put up My friends, nigga Yeah I'm not afraid like y'all Niggas

Well it was a good interview It was a great The Q interview was great What you think With the Nadecah J Cole While we're here It was cool Yeah

It was cool. Didn't really get a ton of information, but I thought it was a good interview. I was a happy for her. Me too. Me too. I thought it was good interview. I think more interviews are going to come

and more stuff is going to get unveiled. Looking forward. I didn't see the Cam when I... The problem when you don't, like, speak to people often. Like, we don't get a cold interview often is that when you speak to him, we got to rehash all of this shit that I personally have moved on from. Right.

Like, Cam was asking him good shit. Like, Cam, whatever you didn't like from the desk of Cam was getting right to it. And it's like, I personally, am just off of this. Like it wasn't new stuff. Right. But you get the answers, though. Sort of kind of.

I feel like the answers that we've kind of already gotten from records and when he spoke on stage and I don't think there's anything new that we're getting out of any of this. And I think those are the two interviews he need to do.

Neska, his people, and Cam, who he once promised to go go do the shit. I'm glad he did the Cam shit. Me too. Made me happy. I didn't think it was going to happen. I'm real glad he did that one.

That shocked me. Yeah, and I'm glad they addressed all the shit. Yeah. And as much, y'all know me, I missed everything a rollout and all that shit. I love the way they tease this. That was funny. That shit was amazing. Normally, I'd be like, oh, this is a boy.

I absolutely loves it. I think it was real the first time I saw it. You said you didn't think it was right? Like when I saw the little promo of him popping up. Yeah. Because it looked almost like fake. Like AI. Yeah, I thought it was AI.

You know, shit on in that. A lot of AI fakes people fall for. But I saw that it was real. And I was like, that made me happy. You're like, you're such a jerk, man. I thought about enough. My last Jay-Z clip. Looking back in the last year, it was hard.

Really hard. I was like heartbroken. Really? Yeah. I'm glad we got right to that. You know, so we could just get that out the way. Okay. Like, I was really heartbroken by like everything that occur.

Mm-hmm. You know, we're all like, you know, we're in the space now where it's just like, almost like consequence is not thought about enough. So everything is so instant. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like that whole Buzzbee. This is a lawsuit that was dropped, dismissed.

That shit took a lot out of it. I was angry. I've been that angry in a long time. Uncontrollable anger. Like, you don't put that on someone. Like, that's the thing that you better be super sure. It used to be like that. Like, you'd have to be super sure before you put those kind of things on a person.

You're just to be a person like me. Like, even when we were doing the worst, We were doing bad. We had those kind of rules. There was a line, no women, no kids. You know, you hear those sayings, but those are things that I took from the street. You know, morals, integrity, code, cold. Those things I took because we lived and died by that. So it's strict for me. Like it meant a lot to me. I took that really hard. And I knew that we was going to walk through that. Mm-hmm. We was going to walk through that because, you know, first of all, it's not true. And the truth, and the truth is The truth is, you know, at the end of the day, still, it still reigns supreme.

When you feel, new feelings, how do you then bounce back and get back to being Jay-Z? I don't know. I'm just, we just, this is, this is the first thing I'm doing, actually. It was just like, all right, man, we played enough defense. 2026 is all offense. Uh-oh. Well said. Yeah.

That's dope. Well said. He right. the vulnerability too of saying like I was heartbroken. Yeah, for sure. Yo, Cole Bink. Call, uh, Just Blaze. Call Prereen.

God did. I was saying by Mr. Carter. On what stage? Yankee Stadium. You disagree? Hey Mr. Carter. I think, I just think that y'all think that Jay-Z is kind. I don't think he's not, I don't see him sharing his,

we ain't opening up Yankee Stadium on a Sunday for me to invite another, another nigger last name Carter to do his song, hey Mr. Carter on my 30th event. Hell no. Hell no. I think I could see him do it. I can see it happening. All right.

I'll take a, I'll take a, we'll do predictions. We'll do predictions on that one. Let's see what Cali she has to say about that one. Who else? Who else? Who else you got coming out? Beyonce hits the stage, of course. Okay.

Of course. Drake. All right, man. What else we got? What else? Hey, y'all. Drake is out of that stage. Jay Z make moments.

he will make a moment and if Drake hits that stage it's gonna be a moment all right come on y'all what else we got what other topics we got y'all we just up here being we just sound like fans now

sound like fans just talking about Jake Holy All right What other topic do we I'm finished Can we talk a little bit about Because you hiked this up for this I was looking forward to

I think I texted it to you The group That footage of Justin Timberland Oh my God man Boo For weeks We've been waiting for Justin Timberlake footage because we were hoping for it inward drop we were

hoping some crazy shit. Hard ER. Because he was he was fighting so hard to not have the footage released we thought it had to be something to it. They called they called Jack Harlow hard hard R. Kelly. Oh shit. Solid. Solid. That's a good word. Hard R Kelly. That's funny. Sorry. So the Justin Timberlake arrest footage came out when he was in the hamper. He was fighting to suppress, was released. And even I think that was the okie-doke move now.

Like you fight to have it suppressed as if it was something that was mind-blowing. And then when it comes out, people are let down. People being you. I was let down too. It wasn't just me. It wasn't just me. I was rewinding that shit. Like, come on, just give me one in words.

Give me one. That's all I needed, man. But he was just regular drunk. He was just regular, can't walk straight, drunk, talking slow. drunk. Was he driving a minivan? I couldn't see the car. It was a very ordinary car though. I couldn't make out what the car was. It looked like a minivan. It wouldn't shock me.

So when the guy, when the officer pulls him over, the most interesting thing to me was he didn't drop the I'm Justin Timberlake thing as fast as I would have. I feel like if he drops the I'm Justin Timberlake sooner, maybe he gets out of this. I have my music playing when you walk up to the car. You see, you're doing the- Cating a lot by my body. What?

He waited too long. By the time he got to it, he was already clearly drunk. Like, you can't let the office. You got to get plausible deniability. Like, look. And he got to it weird. Right. And he got to it weird.

The world tour part was funny. Okay, you're on a world tour. World tour for what? I'm a cop. I don't understand what you're saying. He's like, oh, it's going to be, um, how do I, um.

He's trying to be cool. That's why. He's trying to be humble. You don't want to do it. There's no such thing as humble after you say I'm out here on a world tour. Humble is out the window. We're not assessing your humility level. What are you doing in our neck of the woods?

Drunk. Right. Drunk right now. I'm on a world tour clears up a lot of shit. But he just got to do it smoother than that. But I'm not on a world tour on the Hamptons. Here's what I would have said. Why not?

You would kind of think, assuming, that I'm just in terms of, I'm one of the biggest artist in the world. I assume you're Justin Timberlian. You are Justin'emble. He looked like you. He looked like short you. But, yo, and you in the Hampton. So it's a different demographic.

And don't say how parks look short again. Huh? Nothing. It does look like short. But, yo, I wouldn't look the same. I wouldn't be thinking that, one, the cop didn't recognize me or would have inquired. Like, what are you doing up here? You know what I mean?

Like, those are normal cop. questions if you black. Yeah, you look like you don't mean Frank Lucas no good. He's like you're trying to rob Frank Lucas. Yeah, I ain't even get that. He needs to be a godfather. You look like the bad guy and Godfather. He's going to rob him, you fuck me up.

Godfather and Newark right there. No, like, yo, you... Or Roselle, wherever you're you from. Yo, you would think that a nigga would start asking you those questions, and then it'll give you the opportunity to start telling all the shit without you having If you're black. If you're black.

He looked like he belonged to Hamptons. He just looked drunk. No, but when the cops pull us over there, yo, what you're doing out here? What you're going? Where are you going? They start asking us to see what I'm saying. They never asked him.

Facts. So here's what you do. Hey, officer, I know I just, I know I was swerving a little bit. I'm Justin Timberlake from InSink. I have a security issue. Get out. Look, but I'm saying I was following my friend

for security. You know what I mean? Because I'm just. Justin Timberlake I'm a, yeah, I would immediately I would immediately create a situation where the officer's not focusing on me being drunk. Okay. And explain. I would get to that shit so fast.

I like, they usually- All drunk driving is bad, but Justin don't look like a good drunk driver. He was terrible. He kept wrong. Yeah. He probably hasn't driven a car in 40 years. Okay, so then when you say my party left me, okay, somebody in your party was not supposed to let you buy on the wheel

because you're Justin Timber. That is true. Right. They weren't supposed to leave you at all. You're Justin Timberlake And why you ain't got no bitches with you? Fuck that Honda Odyssey Joe Now he was doing something Why are you tipsy in the Hamptons?

Yeah He was the people's By myself Yeah I was going to bullshit It caught me Yeah He had the bricks in the back

No he didn't No he didn't know With the bricks No he had the bed He just left something That the security And my peoples couldn't stay around

For Because I was doing something Real time And now you're getting back to him. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah. Free him, man. Free him.

He ain't do nothing too bad. You took his car from him, let him out, man. At what point in the sobriety test, did you all realize he was going to jail? When he couldn't walk. When the dude was like, yo, put your foot over foot, over foot nine times. I tried to do that shit in my house sober, but I got home. I was like, I'm going to jail. He told him doing nine times.

He was like, yo, listen, man. He's like, yo, bro. Yeah, you like, yo, bro. That test is meant to frustrate you. It is. Recite the alphabet backwards. Yeah, come on, do it. Like, what are we doing?

This shit, too. Look, I just fucked up. I was about to say, even if you passed the walk straight shit, by the time they get to, yo, touch your nose, touch your forehead, touch your chin, all right, touch your nose again.

No, no. Say Simon. Give me the ticket. Quirk. Arrest me. What could you talk about, yo? You ain't seen the one, it was viral.

They had me doing that shit on the white stone. They ain't even move the car. They ain't even move the car. You did that shit before? Yes, I did that shit before. Oh, shit. I've done that shit before. That shit is that fun.

Yeah, a couple times. I've never done that shit. Word? You passed it? One time, no. One time, yes. I'm one for two. Z-Y-X-W-V, you had to count backwards.

I mean, dude, Alphabet Aquardt. How you got that far? You just show, oh, yeah, word. Z-Y-X-W-V. U-T-S. You guys, respect the airways. Respect it. We're not going to guess the alphabet backwards right now.

But, yo, it was one. It's funny. It was actually viral. It was this bad chick. Fire. You found her. No. They had her doing the test.

She's ace in the test and flying colors. Fire. Half the police department came out to watch shortly. They still locked up. For what? Yeah, you know why. We have no idea. You know, Patty now.

You have the right to remain here. But not. What excuse me do they use the lock up? I have no idea. Lick them low. Lisa. Lid him low, Lisa Yeah, you know what time it is

The test ain't supposed to, you're not supposed to necessarily nail it or fail it, it's how you do it. Right. If you're stumbling and if you look, if you're incoherent. It's getting more observable behavior.

I get it. That makes sense to me. I mean, he clearly was drunk. That nigga fell. When they pulled him out of the car, he fell. How do y'all go about letting the cops know that they pulled over a real one when y'all get pulled over?

Like, have y'all ever dropped your name or your company or there's a PBA card. You're such a geek thing. Guess what? Guess what? He's such a fucking dude.

What do you? I just stared. I'm not that famous, right? So I have a, so I have to, I had a kind of face that like, they be like, I know you from somewhere. So I just keep staring him in the face, especially if he's a black cop.

Yeah, because I might work the other way. CNN. Man. Wait a minute. Hold on. You're that's why. You did that's what you said? Hey, get the fuck out the call.

What'd you said? What'd you said? It'd be working though. It'd be working. Ignore it. But I got to ignore it, dick. No, I didn't hear what you said. The troopers, you know what you're saying.

It could. Oh, yeah, yeah, it could. But honestly. Let me tell you something, though. The New Jersey State Troopers will whoop. What? I never tried to New Jersey. But in PA?

No. Look, don't. And PA, it works. As long as you, just. Leave them jersey. Give us a little fox. I know you're somewhere up. Probably T-D.

You're going to have a brand new statement hoodie on soon. Yeah, it worked. Ooh, the fresh statement. Hold on. What that hoodie says? What that say? Hey, yo, turn forward. Come.

You mad. See that second and third car coming through. Wait right here. Wait right here. I'll be right back. Yo. It worked, though. But you got to do that.

Once the second car come out, just start to make the call. Yeah, you got to make the call. Yeah. Send help. Send help. They booking me there, though. What do you do to get out of it?

Nothing. I go to jail. Pay. That's it. I mean, I ain't famous. Joe, you're the most famous person up here. Do you use your fame for that purpose? Like, do you say, or do you expect to recognize it?

Do you say, like, hey, I'm Joe Budden. It's on his license. I would hope that they do. I would hope to do. I'm mostly pulled over if I'm getting pulled over is in New Jersey. Well, I ain't driving. I ain't getting to go away. Well, because I remember a couple months ago you told a story where your driver got pulled over.

And I was like, didn't you just, like, lean forward and, like, say something to the officer. And you're like, no, I don't do that. Yeah, no, I don't do that. I just rolled my window down and he immediately recognized me. And then you were good. Honestly, I mean, honestly, like, I don't think that's so much a big fame thing. Fame plays a large part. And honestly, I've been in New Jersey around these parts for so long that the niggas on the force just be niggas.

It's from my way. Like, we kind of. You didn't give him last information. It's not, no, no. It's our peer group. It's talking Joe. It's our peer group now. Niggas is 45, worked in Jersey City, PD over here.

Now I'm the sheriff over here. Like, you just kind of know these guys now. You can be at Starbucks with you, Dunkin' Donuts. I asked my driver the other day. I said, yo, do you know I'm famous? I asked him. Because he was doing that whole drive 10 miles out with things. I'm talking about the cameras and, yo, the police.

And I was like, yo, dog, when they come, what happened last time? I rolled a window there on my face car, right? It was good, nigga, speed up. God damn it. But I would hope that they recognize me. I also try to be as legal as I possibly can today so that I have less interactions to the police. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And respectful. That respect shit go a long way. Long way. It does, yo. Sometimes. Sometimes they got a little axe to grudge. Yeah, if they had an axe to grind, it's right. I mean, ain't anything you could do about it then. Sometimes they don't go for much respect.

Well, Justin is free. Our prayers worked. Shout out to you, Justin. Shout out to Justin. We're happy for you. Don't do that again. Hopefully you learned your lesson. Get Uber.

Yeah, enough for the Titos. Don't teetos and dry. Enough of the tetees. That's where he was coming from. That's cool. He's a tauties. I won't get my brain to go. There was a part where he was at the police station.

And he said the white shit. And he said the white thing and the little, the white box. And he said white. And he was like, white? White? I saw it. And he's just kidding. And that's a funny, funny, but.

You too drunk to be funny. I took it a whole different way. You're also two whites. And. I would drop my white card like that, too, though. Like on some white shit. You don't got to drop it. I don't think it's drop it.

It's your wife. Sometimes you still got to drop it. If a fellow white ain't giving you the good white privilege, that good white treatment you're looking for? Hey, hey, hey. You see this, right? Is that the car? Park.

Park. Hey, hey. I'm a little more skin here. Roll up That's why they be riding around shirtless and shit Yo, that's funny Do you ever have to do that though

Because you hang with black people A decent amount Like have you ever Yes Like with some fuck that shit It's happening Some racist shit or some police shit Do you ever like

Take the lead as the white person? I try to Don't help Really don't They treat you like a traitor Yes Probably be mad aren't you Yes

Ah god Historically speaking In my experience I can't be through Hey man stand the fuck over there boy You don't be black so bad You fucking know better. Your parents should be ashamed of you.

Get your ass over there. You fucking want to be rapper. One of you super professional people explain to me what Meek Mill is doing on LinkedIn. Being super professional? Yeah, he's being professional. What is LinkedIn? Help me.

Help me now. Explain to me like I'm slow. Yeah. You post your resume online and people find you for what they're... It's social media for business networking. There you go. Yeah. But it's got...

It used to be like almost a... Like people that were searching for jobs. It's grown. It's surpassed that now. Like even, no who told me to get on LinkedIn? I ain't do it. The hose. Walo said a bunch of his deals are coming from LinkedIn.

Yeah. So. Did you do it? I didn't. You know me. You know me, bro. But, no, so supposedly some people are using that shit as a networking tool to make bread and get brand deals and shit like that.

It works. Does it? Yeah. Are you on it? You on it? I'm on there. use it a lot, but... Have you gotten deals from there?

Don't have an agent. But like, it's good for like different kinds of networking. A lot of corporate networking. It's really good for corporate networking. Because what it does is it'll be like, if you know this person, you should like other social media, you should know these people, you should be connected to these other people. And people now

do like corporate announcements, they do press releases. It's gotten, like you said, it's gotten bigger. But a lot of people I know get job interviews and job opportunities, even especially the executive level from that. I don't know if it's good for like entertainment networking. but it's definitely good for like like i love i love meek's curiosity yeah like i don't have anything negative to say about that but it just seems like he's in search of something that he's having

trouble explaining i'm confused by it because for the same reason you are it's like again he has agent lawyers he's connected to the richest and most powerful people in the world at least in our industries it seems weird to me that he would need to be only did it's a do we know that he's still connected to all these relationships are still solid and And I think once you see the other side of the game, now you want to explore that more because you see like it might be real way more money over there than over here. But now if I lose that connect or if I just want to venture out on my own and not necessarily have you fee in me all the time, then he might want to, you know, take a stab at that spot.

He just seemed too big for it. I disagree. For LinkedIn, you're saying. Yeah. For this route. Yes. I think he's too big for announcing that he's over there. Like I don't think he's too big.

If Meek is independent and Meek is kind of navigating on his own, I don't see anything wrong with that. It's just some, my, and I don't know if he does it for engagement purposes as well, but I think the announcing it on like Twitter and stuff, that comes up that way. That's when it looks a little. Can I be you for a second? Do they have a verified situation?

Because maybe that's his way of saying this is really me over here if you find me. Is this a brand deal? Is he getting paid by LinkedIn to endorse LinkedIn you then? Could it be. That's possible Could be That would make it No

No I just think it would look different Yeah Be more polished This is a commercial This seems like Old guy trying to figure out The Wi-Fi code

Like that's how it looks I think if it were a partnership It would just look a little more Put together Then it's a bad job It's a bad job It's a bad job at organicness It seems like me

Just trying to figure it out Yeah It seemed like he don't have for the mainstream part of his career it looks like he had people for everything and now it looks like those people are not there so he's trying to just navigate

whether it be on his own or with a smaller team or whatever but he's more hands on isn't that the case when you go independent yeah I mean but you still would typically theoretically someone of his stature have a manager or agents or both

where you're maybe not running the LinkedIn or what if what if What if I have a manager, and I don't know this to be meek situation, but I got a manager, but I ain't seeing how I would do. Then fire him. Because we've seen a lot of cases where people don't like their management. People don't like who I'm signed on. I'm working with over here.

So I'm going to try to do this on my own. Maybe he can't fire him. Yeah. I guess. For me, it's like, it would be almost the equivalent of somebody doing like an online date nap as a celebrity. It's like, there's nothing wrong with it. And I hope it works for you. But you're almost too.

big to me to need it, but also you're almost too big for it to work the way it's supposed to. Because you're going to get flooded with so much, you know what I mean? He's going to get a lot of demos, even on LinkedIn. That's what I'm saying. I think it's not going to work out for him the way he wants it to. But I love me and I want to be successful. And I'm watching him navigate the process of being independent and it's hard. So I, you know, salute to him.

I just, I don't understand this one. It was so strange to me, like you, Parks, I wondered if it was really him. Right. Right. I mean, this is on a list of things that I don't understand that he's done. You know what I mean? Yeah. Hey, I need $5 million to, because I want to do an album and a movie and I'm tweeting this.

Yeah. Like, it's a lot of, it just seems like I don't have nobody. That may be the case. Might be. All right. This story is so funny to me and weird. So did you all see the Mary J. Blige interview a couple days ago? Nope.

I missed it. No. Mary gave an interview where she was talking about like the early stages of her career and a very particular experience she had with a veteran vocalist. She didn't say what the person was, but she told a real interest story. Here it is. All right, let's hear it. And you may have heard this before, but I ain't saying no name. But you ain't saying on names. I just met this person and I was excited, so excited to meet them. And this is when, you know, back then, when your roots was dark and your hair was blonde, but people didn't know what it was, but we

knew what it was. So this person goes, you really should dye your hair, your roots the same colors your hair and you need to learn how to sing on key. Damn. Jesus. I ain't saying no names when I was like, okay, let me go and see if I'm singing flat or whatever that means. So I ain't saying no names. We can pause it right there, right? So for like two days, everybody on the internet was trying to figure out who she was talking

about. I knew who she was talking about. But and a couple other people did. And of course, the internet did its thing. Exactly. they started internet and they pulled up this classic

but somewhat recent interview from the person here it is let's hear it 1990s when you would introduce the Rufus song Sweet Thing

which is your ballad I wrote it you would call it the song Mary J. Blyge fucked up is that's true I said that in public I might have said it to her

okay but so you did believe she fucked it up how'd she fuck it up number one her vocals were flat and I told her I said what time did you when did you what time of day was at night what you're doing when you decided to recover yeah that's great you asked somebody girl I've been up on late and out it was at 8 o'clock in the morning girl she said girl you don't sing nothing at 8 o'clock in

the motherfucker morning especially if you have to get up to saying if you'd have been up all night smoking crack or something I don't know what you don't get up at 8 o'clock in the morning the same girl but she and I have that kind of race to you can talk yeah you guys are ended up recording together, right? Yeah, we can talk. We can tell her. Yes. You know, I love her.

She loves me. We don't have a problem. Yeah. Now, the press would love to make it a fucking problem. I wonder how. The press would have to just stretch to, what? That's crazy. Yo, old people, yo, they be stuck.

They don't get. They don't care. They don't care. They don't care. They don't care. That's crazy. First of all, like, Shaka made it sound like,

I told Mary to her face, not in front of the cameras, but she's in front of the cameras right now telling us that she's over that. I mean, this is what we got to love about our veterans, man. The OGs, man. I say the OGs, they just, that's where they come from. They're honest like that. They don't care.

Don't hold no punches. Or not. Don't hold no pun. No, I want that. I was just watching something, you know, speaking on this topic, but it's something similar that I saw you touch on with even pertaining to the coaches. I'm going to get to that later. But, nigg, we need some of that, somebody to be honest like that.

Yeah, nigs is too sensitive these days. Oh, I love the honesty behind the scenes. especially if you've got the auntie relationship where you could be like but it's not like like Mary's version is very different to Shaka's version that's the funniest

how two people experience something different it sounded like Shaka was just on some auntie shit like like I'm pulling this girl's side and showing her love and it felt like Mary was like I don't really know this person and they come over and talking about my hair

and my voice like the first time we meet I'm showing grace and I'm showing respect to the OG I really the stories could have been the same but Mary had enough koof not to really put it out there like that

I ain't even say who it was right Like, I'm having, I'm respecting telling the story. Yo, I don't know if you was up all night, smoke, and crack. Come on, my nigga. Right. Particularly. That part is.

Coming from Shaka Khan. Yeah. That has to be said. That's a good point. I'm not sure she was over in this. See how you guys show grace? Right. That's crazy to be.

But if there's anybody that could say that. It would be Shaka. Yeah. Wouldn't Shaka be on the list? Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like, if you kick in my back in public, you got to.

You got to add a little, and I can relate to it. That's all I'm saying. Okay. Otherwise, it comes off a little, like, judgmental. Like, you waking up early in the morning with you smoking crack. Like, I've never seen a sober-shunker kind of performance. I agree with what you're saying. I just also feel like you open the door for that once you cover somebody's record.

Talk about it. Ooh, that's interesting. If you covered somebody's record, I think it would be naive of you to think that that person is just either going to have all great things to say. or nothing to say at all. Like, if you're doing a tribute, yes, it will be classy for the person you're honoring to sit there and give you the...

But the greats don't do that shit. They don't. Do Prince do it? No. Nick, Prince would never. My thing is, yo, I think, this is my opinion. When you're covering somebody,

I just think tact and kuf are a part of being in public. Like, yo, dog, like, the lady covered your song. You could have hated it. You could say, yo, I ain't really. care for it. Like it's a way to say it. Don't say yo-yo's up all night smoking crap. She said she said that time. I think Tacton

Kuth came in the 80s. 90s. Yeah. Once you hit a certain age, you lose a lot. Well, not everybody, but most people. A lot of motherfuckers lose. Tacked and Koof. You saw Quincy. You saw what Michael said. And we all the world. Niggas said, if you don't get, you saw his face. You think niggas looked at Michael face when they were singing. Oh, Michael

like it? No, nigger, it was on his face. He probably said something. But at least he just made faces. Louis and City Wall for his shit. He told Quincy, Quissy, go tell her. He was saying, he was telling the niggas to say shit. Also, damn, that sound like I'm just caping for shock and I'm not trying to do that. But also, if you were singing flat and if your hair looked a mess, wouldn't you want, wouldn't you want somebody to say that to you? Yes.

In an auntie type of way. Stop it. No, no, no. At the rehearsal, yes, the record was out. No, this is Mary was saying. Tell me after my record's out, that that sounded flat, that's just, what can I do about it? Was she there when you did the record? flat the next time.

Okay, that's fair. But look what Mary said. Mary said she went back to go see if she was... That's what Mary stayed at. And Shaka Khan, and, you know, Mary's like an icon with regards to style, fashion, et cetera, et cetera. There was a point in time where they were purposely doing the shit with the roots in the hair.

And that's what Mary was saying. And that's what she was saying. Like, yo, she's older. She didn't understand what we was doing, like, grace. Cool. Grace. But... Mary was very graceful. I concurred.

We love Mary's amazing. And I love Shaka Khan. In fact, respectfully, I would love to meet your car. Live. Sure. Me too. Me three. In the 70s, the 80s, or now?

Is this a shocka Khan show coming up that I'm missing or something that we're fighting to get tickets to? She had to boot now? Is what they're saying, Joe. Oh, you would fuck Shaka Khan. Y'all would fuck Shaka Khan right now? That'll wake me up. Shon Khan is fire, yo.

She looks good. I saw, oh, how old is she? I had to wear in Google if you look good. Niggas is smoked Shaka Khan. Shaka Carl, Shaka, car, Shaka, Kama. Nickers is a smoke for you. Yeah. Freeze.

I'm not playing with Shaka. And she looks to take it down in the car. I think of my, I'm like, not just right. I'm working around nothing but cave, man. These niggas won't. You wouldn't say that Shaka Khan if you were in your situation? No. Yes, you would.

No, I would not. I mean, I also didn't see whatever pick you all saw. I'm really talking about Shaka Khan from back in the day. Sure. The Rufus Chaka Khan. The Black Panther Shaka Khan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know she's part down with the Black Panthers.

Okay. They're organized in Chicago. Should just really get it going, right? Yeah. To the fire! I like our OG being like that. I'm sorry. Me too.

Or Shaka? Chaka. I like it. Whoever. I like that shit, man. Just tell me I'd be blunt. When you do with that black fist, I was. Shaka do seem like if you do.

If you fuck and she'll make a mistake and tell her home. girls that your dick is amazing and all the home girls I want to fuck you. She seemed like one of them. Oh, it's little. Well, yeah, okay, have the opposite effect. I shouldn't work with cavemen. We should be able to discuss some of our grades. Everybody up here is restraining themselves.

Like, everybody restraining themselves. But that makes us more cavemen that we have to show such restraint over fucking shock a con topic. I'm just saying, man. Hey, yo, we still on fucking shoggi- But just on it. No, no, when you're done again.

No, just on, but in terms of that, actual analysis and I think I like Mary J. Blige's version of the record. But when you go back and listen to it, was Shaka right? Does it not sound did it sound flat deal? I would have to go back and analyze it. Unfortunately, we don't have the time

to do that. I don't understand. Musicality and all of that. We do that. We do that Patreon. You're some bullies. Yeah, that's not what I was doing, the sweet thing. Oh, sweet thing. Yeah, I mean, I was in some yams with sweet thing. I didn't hear nothing about

who was flat you wanted that one flagged that's talking about 92 you wanted no yeah imagine imagine fucking Chaka Khan

trying to get your name wrote in the will and then she passed and you realized that she sold the shit to somebody else you're just fucking for nothing

you ain't got a you ain't got not a lick of fucking well half of this room wouldn't have fucking it for nothing it wasn't in it for the will come on

speak oh the will is there too oh great speaking of fucking come on come on let's get to it your man shine doubles down ice was excited wanted to talk about it

wasn't excited I'd say but um yeah shine got winded what brady said got win and he said I don't know what's wrong with her I spoke from a place of admiration and a place of reminiscing on my experience with her which I didn't care to highlight the negatives it was only positive

she lied to Oprah about being married and had to go on Oprah and apologize because she said she did that to protect the image. I can't get in her mind. I'm just saying that she lies to the public before to protect the image. Maybe the fact that she was seeing both

Mason and I at the same time she feel it's not good for her image. It seems messy to me. It is messy. Why he's trying to be it so messy? Because he ain't got nothing else to do. He's not in office anymore. He got this album coming up. Project's coming out.

Yeah, he got a project coming. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. He seemed like a thorough dude to me. So this behavior. He didn't bring it up, though. If he's still talking about I'm still talking about it.

Well, hold on. If something was brought up and I just stated what I said Somebody come back and say I'm lying I might go try to go back and clear that. What's wrong with her saying, yo, I'm lying to protect my image? About some shit that happened 20 something years ago.

If you say Close to 30. Yeah. How many years? If somebody come out and say something about you that didn't happen or you say, oh, I was with this person. You don't say it.

I'm sorry. It came up in conversation. and then somebody no he's lying i wasn't with him i ain't that wasn't that was just we were just platonic friends and there was nothing more niggas let it go hold up my that's that's not what happened let it go what's wrong with letting it go

being a man we got to sometimes shut the fuck up and not look messy and let it go not just that what you might have thought we could be funny or we could be men nigger we've had platonic relationships with girls that we popped before so her labeling it a platonic relationship don't say she's lying in this context it does no it doesn't here's what I say that

here's what I say that because he says if he implies that they pop and she says I'm responding to the things that she basically was correcting the record she's basically

what he said wasn't true I agree that you could have a platonic friend who you had sex with before I'm not disagreeing with that but she was responding to their conversation so I think a reasonable person

would interpret that as saying he made on his dick yeah he's lying on his dick let it go I'm with you I understand that but I'm saying everybody ain't let it go That's all

Everybody's not And I think You to drag this woman That's minding her business In her fucking house Raising her kids And to me and my man Fucking her at the same time

It paints the picture of her being a whore She's in the house Mondeing her business Yeah Like yo my nigga We know what's going on It paints a wrong picture Of this lady that's minding her fucking business

So now for her to come out And say yo Me and Sean had a platonic relationship And that's the extent of it You got to let it go Agreed Okay Yeah Sean trying to paint it

however whatever he Freeze just read off him trying to paint it that way when you're having that conversation in the room with somebody who somebody else who allegedly you know was intimate where it has that boys locker room

kind of feel already there's no way you could have the boys locker room conversation amongst somebody else who also maybe did that and it seemed like you're honoring that person or cherishing that stuff. Does it matter if you wasn't? If you wasn't the one that brought that up? No, it doesn't matter.

I'm asking. No, I don't think it matters. I still understand if I know I did something and you know you did something. Why does the world need to know we did something? And I ain't going to hold you, yo, to keep it a buck. I'm on the other side. I'm withish. Let's bring back.

At what point is somebody able to lie about some of the bodies that they've left behind? I don't want to live in the world where we got to tell the truth about everybody we fucked. No way Are you kidding me There's some bitches right this second Where if they got a mic And just happened to be on a podcast And was asked about me

And they got the talking And they tell their truth I fuck that nigga Boy I would lie to the wheels for I would deny that whole It's about four of them Only four Not honest

I can't believe that There's four of them that No matter what they say, and it happened. And it happened. But if you think I'm giving my account, my version, or me sharing the hell, no, we line to the wheel for. Why them four? Huh? Why those four?

Totally out of character and beside myself. Nothing I'm proud of. On some mid-shit? Extremely ashamed of my actions, my decision-making. Not something I would want to spread to a new audience, a mainstream audience. not one that I would continue to uphold whatever we had. If I continue to ascend, grow a large platform, retire from whatever she knew me as,

and become one of the best ever in a whole other field. I'm not still telling, though, that new crop of people that I fuck this. Sorry. At 4.58 in the morning. Sorry. Your number's four. Nigga, I got man.

I get mad if it's my roommate woke up. up and seeing this bitch creeping in. You don't say, nigga. I think there's, uh, what, eight, nine men in this room that probably have to say. That's why everybody got something. That's what, what's the number? What's the number? And what have you done with your life since we beat?

I went crazy in my, where are you at in life? Because if it's not something that's reputable to who I am today. I pop that. Never did I pop that. Never did I bought that. Oh, fucked up. So how many denials anybody got? Like, you can just take it to the grave.

I would never cop to that. Yeah, I got three of them. You're married. How many you got flipped, though? You're a little long life. When I was young, yeah, when I was younger. No, I got four. When I was younger, high school.

Junior high with you probably. No, no, no, no. I had a run before I got married. Pre-K. Probably like three. Probably three. That I was seeing, walk by. And I don't know.

They wrote me on Instagram. No, I don't know. Bitch, you ain't up. You ain't look crazy. You live where? You live where? Mark? Come on a dick.

Y'all gonna think I'm bullshit. Once I say, a white fridge is over. It's something that I'm embarrassed about, but I don't think I would lie on it. I don't think I would die. Publicly? I would just hope that nobody found out. What was it?

What was embarrassing about those experiences? My decision making, my judgment at a time. Well, that's what Joe said. I'm looking for what Mark. I looked to you for leadership. You don't know you. You was drunk and horny. That's what it is.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. All right. There's at least, this is all fuzzy. Try the real. They didn't shave either? No, actually. Oh, you're like.

Oh, yeah, that colt fish. Oh, yeah, some of that coatfish. Oh, shit. Coat pussy is the best pussy. I believe you. That's, it's reckless and irresponsible,

but, yeah, I mean. It's back to that whole shock account thing. He's like, IHish, what's they you? None. Nothing, nigga. I took all their ears off,

nigga. I never missed. I still talk to all of them. Let's go, that I regret? Did you were deny? Did you deny? No, I would deny.

No, you didn't. I ain't never. And not count the ones you already denied me. Like the other ones. Oh, shit. The other ones. The other ones.

Your number times. And keep it on you, my brother. I've answered already. Does not... Probably 10. Now what about these 10 would make you deny it? Now we're getting some way. Riveting content.

See, I think it's... If you got to go with a percent and just another number. That's true. No, not 10. I think that... Oh, man. You know, that's a thing we're trying to... Go ahead.

No, I think some of where they are today. what play a part in that they moved a lot a lot could any of the 10 beat again no not even close Mark could any of the four beat again no

all right you got it this is great this is great this was fun how much freeze oh hard three for sure what made them what made them they were

Not my, what I, what I, they went up to your standard. Yeah. Got it. Destroyed by problems. They were talking about that. We are really D. Williams, boy. They were one. Yeah, we talk up here like, we.

Oh, it's like 200, 300 pounds? No, yeah. Oh, you had one of them now. Oh, you took one for the team. Oh, okay. It won for the team. Oh. For them.

For them. Oh. You won't. You're one for the team. I see it right now at Walmart. Walmart. Right, Brad. I don't know you.

Hey let me go get some clean What? Yeah The CVS right there Let me get some spray You try to light That shit off, naga.

Man, is hell Like that. I save myself from marriage. Is your partner aware of any of the mid on this list?

They don't exist. I'm denying it why you think the partner going to know? Yeah, you know how long ago that shit's were? Yeah,

it's a long time. I would tell if they walked up on. Yeah, but sometimes your girl know you, you slept some men. I have a question.

Not, not, but me, before you all met, at any point. Sometimes your girl's just aware of the mid you slept and just will have a little key-key with you. I got a better question, too, at the joke, if you answer that. Like, do you have to discuss ex-partners with your current partner? A little bit. Yeah. Really?

My girl asked me like, yo, you hit that. Yeah, that's so much access to your partner? What's even weird sometimes? It's similar, but different is like when you see someone, you're like, oh, I think I think I did that. That's horrible. It's horrible. I think everybody who's had that

Yeah You know, you being Dunkin' Donuts and something They'd be hugging you You'd be like Before they take your order That's

Hey yo Hey yo She gave me like 12 donuts These were free I'm like I don't know I do

I don't discuss That's hilarious You y'all You've been horny all part No No No You've ran into something

And you'd be like Mm-hmm You discuss ex with Shad Abol Drape? X? I mean, I discuss everything with her. Oh, for real? Yeah. Yeah.

Mm. Look, we'll be outside. My girl would be like, yeah, I don't know. My wife would ask me if the girl's acting funny style. You know, like, if they come over and, like, speak and do some weird shit or do the voice, you know, just a weird shit. My wife back. They don't know who that is.

They don't got to be funny. They don't got to be nothing. My girl will be like. Because she can tell him. She's on your type. She knows. You know you. You know your body.

We in bed watching the show last night. I must have been sleepy. Because she was in the bed on her phone. And I guess, you know, we're sitting up next to each other. And I guess her good, good, good, good, good friend was posting her son on Instagram, who's like a bodybuilder. And he was in like the MC Hammer pumps and the bump. Oh, shit.

Drawls? Drawers. Okay. and all I heard was, oh, that's such and such, that's my godson, that's such and such a, such and she wrote a little DM, and then she went to the kitchen to get some water. I sat in that bed long and hard, like, is this bitch crazy? Yo, what are you saying? So I had to think, because I'm not one to even broach this topic or have this conversation with nobody. but I was so stuck on because I got a thing

I guess that's a trigger for me your childhood friend your godson your fucking oh we went to middle school like my brother and they say that shit so casually

I thought that she was in bed and said oh shit my godson so she came back to the room I said hey quick question don't tell me

Don't tell me, Joe. Because I got to have to talk. I said, hey, when you say, like, hey, that's my God's son. Oh, hey, my childhood. Hey, my mom knows his son. I said, what does that mean? She said, oh, that means they're like a kid to me. Like, we grew up together.

I said, is he 60? She said, no, no, about 29. Oh, 301. Oh, fuck that. Oh, yeah, no. I said, so you think that you could see it dead and just willy-nilly to DM some nigger in his drawers that's doing this. I thought she DM the girl that posted him.

You told the story fucked up. She didn't know. The godsome. I didn't know she DM Roscoe. No, she did DM the girl, but I missed that part. So I thought she did. Oh, you thought she DM do. Yeah, so we had to have a talk.

And boy, when I opened that can of worms, I lost. Why would you? That's what I said, Joe? If we had to have a talk about DMs, you should send. Versus it d'emns, you shouldn't send. Who should get them? Who's not? You got to shut the fuck up.

Yeah, you just got to let that go. I didn't You got to choose your battles I took a stand like a real Virgo Nah Shade is it your position That because I've done wrong in this relationship That I shouldn't be able to express

When I feel away That's good talk That's a therapy talk No that's that gase That bullshit Hey yo bring that kerosene No no it's BP BP

That's 93 That's 995 right That's my baby I love it That was fun We talk about all of it. That's interesting. Part of that because you've been in my phone a bunch,

but she knows some of the mid. So she just knows some of it was mid. Some of it just shouldn't happen. And she knows. Man, some of that shit, I'm taking to the grave. Oh, for sure. Yeah. When they find out it's mid.

But you said it's only a three. Yeah. I'm taking it to the grave. When they find out this mid, is that more comforting to them? Oh, no. They get a little victory lap. No.

Yeah. Or does it make them more worried like you'll fuck anything? No. It has the opposite. I find it as the opposite effect. Because they thought they do was thorough. They thought that they do.

They don't know about them nights. You fuck that. It's like she go on the phone and see you swinging and missing. Just in the DM just and ain't nobody even giving you no rhythm. It's like not only are you not supposed to be doing this, but you look like a herb doing it. And look what you're doing it too. You're embarrassing me. This ain't even mine.

They get into all. It's extra. It's extra. You find it's the opposite. That they get to the victory lap. I'm better. Yeah. When it's your turn, it's going to hurt if you did it with some mid.

If you did it with some mid, when she's up to bat, it's not going to be made. Boy, it's going to be bad for you. You may flip the scenario. Yeah, because now that she's seeing what you're doing, it doesn't take much to get you going. She sent a DM to pleasure pee on one of these niggas and get you out of pocket. Would y'all feel better if your girl was fucking a random mid dude as opposed to like,

a nigga like better than us on our level? What if you went your girl phone and Sway Lee was in there just in his bag like Adam 22 said? Yo, don't never say that's it. You are absolutely disgusting and you should be arrested.

What if Sway Lee was in there just swaying? Y'all wouldn't feel the way like if your girl was in there giving Swayley rhythm? Yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. Let's move off this topic.

You know, y'all. Yeah, that's a day by the way. Yeah, everybody looked on. It was funny. It was the other way. Yeah, everybody looks on tight in the face. Come on, we can keep it going. What else is important?

What else is unimportant now? Speaking of Swayley. Did you see Mike Will made it talking about the Swayley French Montana situation? Yes. He was tight about that. Still is tight about that.

No one made no money behind it, essentially, except for the Sony, the record label. Why not? Because French just kind of, from his, from Mike Will's standpoint, just kind of took the record, jacked it. I'm just putting his head.

out. I put a verse on it. Didn't ask nobody. Oh shit. Just put it in the streets. But they shot a video. I don't... I'm sure after the fact, once this, because it started to catch traction immediately, it's a hit record, smash record. So now it's... Now it's... Let's... Fuck it.

So he just... We're here now. He took the Sway Lee record and just threw that verse on there. According to Mike Will. Insinuated by Mike Will. It makes... It sounded like it was a... It was a Sway Lee record. Yeah. That's why it's only like... Yeah. It's only like...

Yeah. It's only that. A bar. French bar. Holy shit. And you come to the studio to put a verse on anything in the studio. You'll never hear your verse again. Like, that's how it should be. You don't get to come over here, lay vocals on a track that I got pulled up.

And then when you leave, I send you a version of what you did to my beat or to my song. Hell, no, you're crazy. French would have never heard that verse again. You'd have never heard that verse. Gotta be careful playing people shit. And niggas be, niggas go to studio sessions, trying to fucking song hop. Like, niggas will go to your session

trying to just throw a verse on something that you didn't ask for at all. Just because they're in the building. Yeah. Well, let me jump on that. Give me some records you think that that happened with. The first break, I think, well, I don't know, not styles of my man,

but I was going to say, BMF? Yeah, blow money fast. You say that. It's funny you say that. I just found out the other day that Gucci is on the end of fucking MC Hammer. I never got.

I don't think I ever knew that. I never got to the Gucci man verse in MCM. Shout to Gucci. But he's on there. Yeah. threw the shit out of my headphones. Thought you had some remix and something. What the fuck is this?

I didn't know what he was doing. That's just not a song I would have put him on. But sometimes you don't let shit get to the third verse to know what's going on. Stiles was another one. It was a night in Sin City where they let the last verse rock. I was like, Stiles P is on this song. Wow, I was so happy for him. I never knew that.

styles, man. Yeah, go ahead. God damn it. Call one. Some those niggas just look like they walk in the studio. Say, let me get on that. You can't. You can't tell the nigga. Shit, I think Roscoe said that's how no hands happened with a valet. Yeah. Something along the line. Just in a session, jamming, come over.

Oh, shit, that's hard. Let me hop on that. Hey. Hey. Pause. Pause. Everything in the studio is kind of pauseworthy if you really stop and think about it. Yeah. Give it to me one more time. Now go harder.

It's a lot. There's a lot of plausibility shit in there. He'll go hard. I think you can go harder than that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little tighter. I ain't gonna lie. Anytime somebody told me that.

When I went back in there and went harder, yeah, that's what it needed. Sometimes it's a rap, but that's all you need. Just some instruction. Great verse, but you don't really sound. Come on, let's get it. Come on.

You can lay that. Well, another take. The right person got to tell you that, though. Yeah. Anybody just can't say that. Nah, you know what else is funny as a rap? Sometimes nobody got to say none. You go in there lay your verse.

You're looking through the square to see the room. And ain't nobody bopping. They're not. Damn, that's demoral. They look at the phone or some shit. Yeah. I don't hear this shit I'm doing it here. Niggas going to the store while you laying that heat.

So niggas told you the verse over before, an artist? I'm sure that's happened to me before. Yes. Without you getting offended, I mean. I don't think I, yeah, I wouldn't get offended of that. Some people do get offended at that I didn't get offended at it My intro to the game

Was making niggas change their verses man So I mean I mean I don't I didn't get offended Even though I did have a rule Like I wanted to put my best foot forward All the time so that I didn't have to Redo a verse

And if you get me one of my best foot is forward Then you got me I ain't gonna do that I think that's sucker shit Hmm Oh you're talking about like redo it after someone else Yeah yeah yeah yeah If there was nothing wrong with your verse And you just got ripped

Why you're changing it I'm saying like what whole When he told, like, Alicia Keys, go re-record that. Oh, like, when we say, Shakikon, told Mary, does somebody tell... Oh, somebody tells me. Yeah, Joe, like, you was on a record with somebody, that shit don't sound too good. Like, if you was in the studio with Royce.

And Royce was like, yo, dog, I think you could do that better. I'm listening to anything worse has to say. Yeah. If Hove give you instruction, if somebody's giving you instruction, that, you know... You respect. And also, you can tell. If someone gives you instruction, you go back and listen to it, and they're right.

I'm going to fix the shit. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Niggas be too arrogant. Yeah. You tell them that, nah, what you're talking about? I'm not.

I shit fire. That's the problem. Them three that you said you would take to the grave. They got phones still? Oh, you're stupid. Are you stupid? What?

What the fuck? You want to know who they are? That's all. That's cool. I know one that you keep denying, so you know, we could do a unwilling. If I deny it, didn't happen. No, it happened.

You take it. Y'all know about the ones that I'm going to deny. I'm not saying y'all don't know, but it didn't happen. It didn't happen. Get yourself in a sticky situation. That's the one that come and do wonders to your body. The one that come over, what? This little ugly bitch touching me right here.

You know all the spots. You be in bed like, ooh, who, if nobody see this bitch. The thing she come over in do to me. The back of my knee. Oh, that's 4.12 in the morning. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, my God.

She's the door in lock. It's a little hard work. That's how you know. Niggas was open. Niggins used to lead that door on lock. You can go back in the dark. It's going to be in the dark. You can imagine.

What? You can imagine. You keep the light off. Let me come in there. The moonlight. Oh, good old days. Oh, man. We have some horny old man.

Yeah, we are. All we're terrible, man. Horny old men in here. Oh, go ahead. No, I was asking you earlier when we were talking about the topic. I was saying that people getting soft. Y'all fucking the night time now? No.

You just into my whole shit to say that. My last thing, because we were just talking about fucking I didn't want to have to circle back to fucking. I prefer not to. You said, are we fucking at nighttime? Yeah. Like, how often is nighttime? All the time. For me, most of the time.

When you have young children, you fucking when you can fuck. Right. We got a window. You're going to be asleep. Right. Let's get it. I keep forgetting that your kids can live with you. I got always fact to that.

All right. You were saying flip. I was asking if you're fucking a day, but let's move. Yo, speaking on earlier, I saw you comment on the, remember the coach? It was a coach yelling in the player's face, right? And I started to write a tweet and say that. Write the tweet right now. No.

You need a rough coach sometimes. I miss that. I feel like everybody's gotten soft. I mean, a lot of those coaches, I mean, if you go back, and say that how we were raised or environmental, you know, our environment led us to... I tried to coach you,

rough you off of me to a fight, canceled a hit show, stepped to me outside, barked on me, screamed on me. Joe... He just wanted you to re-record the verse. No, no, no. And sometimes we go through that

and we shouldn't have to accept that, but I feel like you need rough coaches. Yeah, so the coach, I was just trying to find her name. Brenda Freese or phrasing, there's a clip of her doing some real intense coaching to her star.

player Alucci Okanawa She was in her face There was a little bit She was very close to her The kind of close Where like you can feel A spit coming out of their mouth

And there were people Who were like Outrage by it I think some of it was the optics Of her being a white coach Yell another black player I think some of it was just like You don't yell at players like that

You know Etcetera To me And what I was like I'm with I think people expected me to be outraged Yeah I remember what she was saying too

She said I believe in you This is your This is your story you know like take this moment on like I believe in you she wasn't playing well she wasn't doing what she wanted to it. The lip readers got right to it and told us exactly what

she was saying and once you hear that what is the story. It's harder to be pissed. She said yo this is your story I'm not in it. Right. It's your time. I believe in you but everything y'all just said you got to believe in yourself now is your moment go take it to him. She could have been in her face saying yo you playing like shit you could do better than get the fuck out there

what's your fucking problem? What the fuck is your problem? What? You're playing like shit blah blah blah blah that's what coaches do. Yo, some coaches motivate their players in other ways. Some... The good... The good coaches

do what y'all are saying. But the bad coaches, when they do this same move, it normally is coming right before them. Left. The left. There's some coaches that, if they're that close to you, a boobot.

It's coming in the stomach. I think there are limits. Even if you love me, but this coach wasn't nowhere. near the limit. Yeah, not even close. It's not even close to me. It's screaming at me, I believe in you, is, thank you. Right. I think it was more what you said, the optic of the white and the edge black hair.

Because I'm like, what the fuck are we doing? I mean, when John Thompson did it to AI, knowing was like, what's going on. And I think part of his generation, I do think this generation is getting soft. Yeah. And I think, I don't want to just say, well, because they did it back in the day and it worked. That's what, that we can't, that we can't, like, change. Again, I'm all

for change. I'm awful more gentle approaches, more humane approaches to things. I just don't think we needed on this thing. I just don't think there's another way to get a player in a sport that's competitive motivated sometimes other than to match their intensity.

But what do you say to the people that say that the reason why we accept that is because of what happened in our homes? What do you say to those people? And we got to go back and change that all that. I'm not saying stupid. I think it depends what we're talking about. Again, I don't

there's a lot of arguments for why we shouldn't do football, right? in terms of it being a gladiator sport, blah, blah, blah. But if we're doing it, I don't know how to get someone to literally run through a wall other than to get them hype enough to run through a fucking wall. You said when you went to Zaire and them game, you never seen Zaire be like that. Yeah.

Yo, dog, these are grown 260, 200, in some cases, 350-pound men. You're going to be like, yo, Bubba. I think you could do better. Next time, just bounce off the block. Break his neck. Yeah, like, what the fuck are we talking about? I think in competitive sports,

yo, your emotions are high, you're passionate about what you're doing. We start yelling up here about bullshit. You're talking about the NCAA tournament and motherfuckers wanting to win and be successful and you want to see kids that you believe in do their best. Sometimes, yo, go harder to the whole. Don't worry.

And I know you better than that. And you might not get the most out of that player until you, pardon my French, put belt the ass. Right. You get what I'm saying? And so I just think that you assess your players if you're the coach and you've been with them for three, four years,

you know what's going to get the best out of them. I don't have no problem with that. And it's a relationship. Indeed. By the time we're in the fourth quarter with 10 seconds left, and you're like, what the fuck are you doing? Yes. You know what I mean?

Set a fucking screen. I've spent a year or two, three, four with you. You've hugged me. You've talked to me. Cryed. I've talked about it. I'm a lot of secrets. We've had such a relationship that by the time we get to that moment,

I trust you, I care about you, I love you, and I can depend on you for that shit. Hold that. fucking screen two seconds longer. You bounced out the screen too early? I don't think nothing's wrong with that. Yeah. Now if I just met you, that's different. Yeah, totally different. You know, and you still coach an intensity, but there's different levels.

So I don't need, even, what she said based on the lip readers made it to me unassailable. But even if it were more intense and less warm and fuzzy in the wording, I'm still not against it in the fourth quarter. And you heard the girl afterward, she said, I like being coached.

Yeah. Yeah, I think we make sure. Definitely good to draft it. I mean, she might have and getting drafted anyway because I'm not familiar with her. Yeah. That attitude. Coachable. What you said after that.

Yeah. That's what people want to hear. That's how you handle that. Speaking of coaching, speaking of good coaching, what kind of? Tommy Lee? How would you guys, no.

How would you guys like to be given bad news from your representation? Who's representation? What you mean? You like a agent or your manager. Whoever that is, whoever that is that you work with, how would you like to receive bad news?

news from number. Phone call. And direct. Very direct. Don't talk around the bush. Straight up. How much of a filter would you like them to put on news that's bad to you? Like when your person is reaching out talking to the deal makers or whoever they're talking to,

what if they get like some brutally honest truths back about you? See, I think that's the job of the manager or the middleman. To know. That they could soften the blow. you know what I'm saying? Yo, dog, the deal ain't go through. They had some reservations, whatever, whatever. They don't have to be like, yo, they say you a motherfucking.

They don't have to do that. Yeah. You don't have to do that. Say the things that I need to know to get better or to move forward. Don't say things that are just going to hurt my feelings. I agree. When I first started hosting, I tried out for this, I audition for this to host this show about feral kids, you know, like kids that are like animals.

They live in a wild. It's called Wild Child. Okay. They thought I'd be good for. You was going to be in a while no matter what, boy. Yo, nigga, I needed this job. This is my first big opportunity. And I was terrible.

I didn't know what I was doing. And I didn't know how to reprompter. I didn't know how to kind of navigate. I was good with the interviews and all that shit, but there was some technical stuff. I just didn't know how to do because I'd never done it before. And my agent called me and said, they like you, but they didn't think you were ready yet.

That's all I needed to know, to know what I needed to do. I'm sure what they said is why did you send us as a guy. guy, he can't even do the prompter, he can't even say all that. They didn't say you sucked on the prompter or, you know, you didn't transition well or, you know, whatever. I need to know that, because that would have just made me self-conscious and worried. But saying I wasn't ready yet told me, I need to prep. And I knew exactly what I need to work on. It's the perfect motivation. See, I would like that information. The prompter reading, like, I would want to get that information maybe not at that exact time. Yeah. But if I were in that situation, I would want my manager

to be like, oh, by the way, we should also work on such and such and such and such. And he kind of did that. And also it was kind of, I knew what the audition looked like. Got it. I knew it went well. Some people aren't that self-aware. That's very true. And that's where you have to know your client.

Yeah. You have to know your client. I mean, I agree with him. Like, to have the filler to, so you won't react. A nigga like me, you tell a nigga like me that I'm mad at the whole company, niggas. Burn that whole shit down. Fuck them niggas.

But you need somebody to tell you, like, to try the softened the blow based on the person that's receiving information. Let's say Mark, didn't. Would you like for your, I'm sorry, would you like for your representation to tell you if a company was racist? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. I would. But you ain't even got to go on the specifics. You could just be like, yo, like, I'm going to put my e-in voice on your buddy. They weren't really, you know. They weren't.

I would want to know. I want to know. You don't got to go into the comments. Racist toward you, I'm saying. Yes. Yes. You don't even got to go into the comments. You could say, yo, they aren't a good fit for us.

was on some racial shit. They are biased and it's not a firearm brain. Even if they go with it later on, you'll find out they're racist. And when you find out that they're racist or they're racist towards you, meaning like,

now them being racist towards you meaning that you won't get the job because sometimes they can be racist towards you, but your representation can still work out something and you get through the door. Or you'd be profitable

and they'll take a gamble even though they don't really want to fuck with you, but these niggers bring dollars. So in this situation, what would it be? Would it be like, you know, they're racist and they don't want to fuck with you or they're racist? No, they're not fucking.

I would want to know because I don't want to ever Sometimes you'll have like Still positive things to say about someone who didn't Bring you on but if I know they're on bullshit I don't want to ever be positive towards them again I might not shit on them publicly but I'm not ever gonna say nothing nice about them I want at least know Would you like to be told if they're in and I'll close on this if they told if would you like to be told if they told your team that you're asking price was laughable

Yeah, yes Yeah probably yeah not laughable No I will just just there's a way to say that without me let me ask they shouldn't on your asking price there's a way to say it if i'm in your position yeah i want to know right but if let's say me because y'all we in different levels so let's just say i have representation and they were shopping me to somebody and our number was x and it was like what are you crazy fucking that nigger better get out of here but for you because you are in an ownership role or you see yourself in a certain place

me and I don't view where I would be and you where you are in the same so I think all that information should come back to you my agent for me I don't think it's necessary I would always want to know that information because I may have to adjust my price accordingly but that's a conversation for you

and your agent to have at another time without them telling you you know, these motherfuckers laugh at it's out of the room you know what I'm saying? Maybe I think that. I'd want to know right away that. Laffable. Because a lot of time when they say it's laughable they just don't want to pay you

it wouldn't necessarily make me feel like I was making I either would say I need to adjust my price or I need to hold out for my price. It might make me more steadfast, but I would want to know, also I want to know that way it ain't my talent. And also, like, I might, you know what I'm saying? I might want the gig.

So, like, oh, it was that too. Like, maybe if I really think it's a good look or it's a good opportunity or I can see something in the future, all right, let's work on the price. But maybe it doesn't have to be this astronomical. Let's figure out something that's more reasonable.

That's interesting. Potentially, you know. Got it. Case by case basis, obviously, but. For sure. All right, what else is important? La Russell deleted his social media. Got scared La Russell off the internet.

Good. Yeah. No, somebody got to him. Somebody got to him that he respects and would listen to. That's what you think? Yeah. Yes. You just kept double and triple and triple and down.

If you're going that far with the double to triple down, he don't respond to shit well. Like, it only took me the last month to learn that. Yeah. Anybody could get into someone. on the internet, but how he responds to shit just wasn't working out. Yeah.

So, take a little break. Do everybody a favor. Just go ahead and get out of here. Get out of it. Ain't nothing good coming from these talking points. He'll be right back. Yeah, he'll be back like he never left, but he did the right thing.

I agree. More y'all niggas need to fucking get off the internet. That point. The fuck. What else? What else? What else? They're doing a Kevin Hart roast on Netflix,

May 10th. Hosted by Shane Gillis, none other than. Nice. Shout to Shane. That's dope. That's a good look. Yeah.

Yeah, I think this is going to be super fire. I enjoy the Netflix roasts. I think Kevin Hart is going to have the right people doing it. I expect to see the tall white girl. I like Mickey Glazer. There's only one other person I want to see. Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah.

I could live without Jerry Seinfeld. I just don't think he's funny anymore. He might not be good at roasts. Yeah. That don't seem like his schstick. He'd be good for the celebrity presence. But you know what? Did you all see Jerry Seinfeld at what is those?

damn, I don't remember the award. The award. The Twain. Did you all see him at the Twain Award? I don't think I saw it. No, I didn't see it. If it was, I forgot about it. I like Jerry.

He was hilarious. I like Jerry. Introducing Kev. I just. Or roasting Kev. Oh, I missed that one day. I need to see it. I didn't see it.

To answer your question. I need to see it. That was the big way he was like, uh, uh, I know, Kev. I'm not here for a favor. He did a favor bit. You never heard of Jerry Seinfeld. If we played it up here. It's possible.

Yeah, it's possible. I think we played it. Anyway, I thought that was hilarious. Maybe I'm going to see Jeff Ross. I'm sure he'll be there. To me, there's nobody. He's going to be there. He got to be.

Jeff Ross is the manned TV comedian dude. No, the bald dude. No, no, all the roast. The roast master. He's at all the roasts. He's been a staple on all the comedy central joints. He's going to be there. He kills everybody.

To me, him and Nicky Glazer are the two. Yep. That's my two. Every year. Yeah. They could feel. Them two there, we know we got a hit coming. Yeah.

Yeah. That's all I care about is her. Honestly, I don't even care about the ball. Let me pull up a picture of Jeff Ross. You know him. You definitely know. That's not the partisan question. Let me just see who this one.

He's fucking hilarious. He gets busy on the ropes. I think he said some inappropriate shit not too long ago. That's all he do. Yeah. Yeah, that's his whole shit. Jeff Ross? Yeah.

You're going to know when you see his face. Oh, yeah, the nigga looked like a thumb. Yeah, no, he's funny. He's very funny. he's funny he's great at a roast I don't know about what you did The Seinfeld name just a big up Jeff Rose But we'll talk about that off here

Look That was kind of crazy Your hoodies tell me you don't really It's always something with Sanfell It's not personal I don't know him I just I went to see Jerry Seinfeld His last comedy too

I went to see him live Like I'm a comedy fan So I went to see him It just wasn't funny I watched this special He's always been a dad joke Dude Yeah he's not that funny

He's more funny with Larry David. Larry Dave. Yes. And I remind me back in the day when rest in peace to Carolines, I would just go to Carolines just to see whoever

just because Carolines was a good date. It was a good day. It was a good night out. I went there for, who was that? David Allen Greer one time. Boy, he was the worst. Really? Really?

He was absolutely. I didn't enjoy him. I don't think nobody in my table enjoyed him. And we had like a table of 10-seated like right, next one the side of the stage. And it was like, if I had tomatoes on me.

That's your worst comedian, live? At least notable. Probably. Probably. I mean, I've had some really tense Paul Mooney sets I was a part of, too. But they weren't bad sets, but they were tense. Yeah, I can live with tense. No, sometimes that shit is uncomfortable.

Sometimes that shit is uncomfortable. What do you mean? Yes. Was it like on a racial tip order? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yes.

And, you know, and. Like, let's just say hypothetically going to Carolines, just hypothetically. On a random night, Carolines is going to be white. On any night. You know what I'm saying? That shit is going to be heavily, heavily, heavily Caucasian. And Paul Mooney used to give it up. He gets off on that shit, too.

Yeah. Yeah, but sometimes, like, okay, sometimes I would see, like, white people get up to leave the Paul Mooney set. I think that was his goal. Yes. I want to make y'all so uncomfortable that you get up and leave. I think he was willing to bomb the set. Yeah. To fucking.

For that. For that. To piss his moment. See, I'm not with that. I'm not with that. Me either. Like, if I'm a customer somewhere, if you're a consumer, you're a patron somewhere, then there has to be some level of respect.

I'm with you being a comedian and doing your job. But once the white people get up, like, you know what, maybe this particular comedian is not for me. I'll leave peacefully and quietly. That's when he used to go AWOL. That's when he used to. That was the long walkout for them. And the things he used to say to them people that were just trying to leave was

like, yo dog, this is not necessary right now. Is there any white- And I've seen Paul Mooney, I'm sorry, Flit. I seen Paul Mooney at least nine to 12 times in Carolines. I'm only talking about maybe twice where I was uncomfortable. Is there any white comedians that did it to black, black cop, black patrons that got up and walked away? I've had that before, too.

I told the story up here. I saw the Cramer one, but then people getting up, I remember that. That was bad. That was bad. And it wasn't funny either. It wasn't funny. No. I've had the experience a going on a comedy show with an extremely beautiful dark-skinned woman

and the comedian on stage. A beginner comedian said something totally out of pocket. I've told that story up here. Like colorist? I didn't know that. Past colorist. It was a white comedian? Yeah.

Oh. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That coincide. How did you handle that? I don't know.

I went to the stage. They had to pull. They had to get him off. Then they had to, they asked me to walk out. The owner came out, spoke to me, apologized. kicked him out, yada, yada, y'all. Good. Good. Okay. Good for you. It was so bad. We was going to wait

after outside. We were going to see him for what he's saying. I want to date, nigga. So do you believe that every night I got a fight to show my love? So you're not against comedians roasting people in the crowd, but you're against the racism. Of course we're against racism, but you're not against that comedians or rosa people in the crowd. Because some people

are against that. Some people feel like as a comic, you should not bother anybody in the crowd. No, I don't feel like that. I don't feel like that. But you can't be a racist fuck and just be mean and break set now to just spew mean shit at an audience member. And mean is the right word.

To me, like, teasing, fucking with people, jokes fine. Once it gets to a level of meanness or, like, actual harmful shit. Yeah. It's getting off your personal feelings. Yeah. I think that shit is why.

This ain't comedy no more. Yeah, exactly. The person I was with, like, I think she got up and, like, it was a thing. Like, she asked him to stop. He didn't stop. She got up was visibly.

uncomfortable, shaking by some of the things being said. Like, if I don't beat you up now, it's going to look away. Or if I don't tell the management to get you the fuck out of here because it's a security threat, because we're going to do something to you when you get out of here then. How did your date react? I just told you. I mean, no, I mean. Towards you. Towards you. I mean, like, do you?

Night shine. Can I get to the trails. Be big games. You protected me. Can I get to the jail? Can I'm safe, my niggas? Yeah. What are you talking about?

Rock, Rock, Citi Rich, Black, Wack, Rack City Rich. What fucking mean? That's what we talk about that. Yeah, we're terrible,

but how did she? She decided to pop it for a nigga and look back and told me, baby, you know how she reacted. Yeah, especially white girls get it. You know, the white girls, shut your ass on,

nigga. The. You think I would bring a white girl to a comedy show? Yeah. That's a good place that. If you were going, I'm not saying you did it.

I wouldn't. But that's a good place to hide. Wait, now hold up. There's no other black people going to be there. If the comedian was being racist towards the white girl, that would be a different response, I think. Well, I told Mark she was a dark skin sister. But anyway, but no, I'm not, no, a white girl at a comedy show? If you are going to hide it, if you're going to go hypothetically on a date with somebody that you don't want black people to see.

No, black people at comedy. It depends on what comedy show you go to. That's what I'm saying. So the one I'm going to enjoy. So the one I'm going to enjoy black people going to be there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. See, you like black comedians. I like certain style of comedy.

You know? Oh my God. I love black comedians. I love black comedians. Where they rank with black quarterbacks to you? I mean, I'm not going to do that. I love black quarterbacks and black comedians. But what I'm saying is there are also a lot of comedians who are not black.

So there's a good chance. Let me guess what I got. Let me guess what they're from Sudan, right? There's just a good chance that if I go to a comedy club to see my favorite comedians that night, there's a good chance that. And you go in New York Comedy Lines. There might be one black comedian and three white comedians. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with the opposite too, but I'm just saying on a lot of nights in New York in particular,

you're not going to get on a lot of comedy. I missed the comedy show I was trying to go see a couple days ago, man. Who was that? Oh, surety. Yeah, surety, man. Yeah, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that happened to you. I missed the New York date and the New Jersey date.

I'm sure she'll be in D.C. Who? She's in Rhode Island in August. Damn. She was just in New York over the weekend. Who? Yeah, no. This real funny community.

She's hilarious. She's hilarious, yeah. I had to work both nights And my girl was with me It's different meeting me without my girl Her name did That don't happen to y'all Why is that my ask?

I'm asking you all That's not the case for y'all I was asking you first I can't figure it out That's why I'm asking my brothers I have no idea It's the same It's the same?

What's the proper? What's the problem? You can't hug with the snickle on, nigga. You crazy. Hips back. Straight church. Two pets. Anyway, I'm gonna catch you in Rhode Island.

Let me know how it was the set. And I saw a couple of clips which I was looking crazy. You saw the clips too. I'm gonna see you the link. Her style of comedy is the kind that I think resonates for all of us up here. She's really funny. She's black? I don't see race.

Oh, shit. Oh, you niggins is sellouts. For all that black powys that you do, you show me shit. I love comedy. Come on. Mark, you got us. Comedy knows no color. Who's your favorite white comic then?

Bill Burr. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. A lot of people are hitting my phone asking me if I have the suite for the Jay-Z. Because we talked about it. They just asked me too. Because you said you think you're coming in my suite?

Which implied you have a suite. But people that ain't hit me for no show I've been to New Edition. Tank. Those were accessible. Right. Have you seen a cue for the new edition? and tank and no offense and you see the cue for Jay-Z? What's no cue? That's my point

I was talking about it. I was trying to be polite. Because this isn't the other shows you just need the money to get tickets. Here you need money at a hookup. Yeah. Yeah. The cue said there is no cue no more for the show they just announced. Yeah, my home girl was ranked number one million and she logged in like right at the time that you were supposed to. I clicked in at 1.002 or something. I was 22,000

and then when I went back. This is my uncle at. There's no call. He's still in the queue? No, the cue is close He got the seats He got a seat, yeah Oh yeah, we got Tell your uncle See if you want to make some money

Before Ask your uncle if you want to make some money Yo, I got I got, I kept Oh I was gonna say Walea put a record out That I wanted to come in here

And play But now I can't find it anywhere But boy is a heat So he took it down I tried to get the record He said it ain't finished I'm gonna finish it tonight So it was just a teaser

That's why it's not He didn't clear The same thing That song was done Nigger We didn't need No more Wale A vote on that one. That was a joint.

And I'm sure a lot of the comments told you it was a joint. Also, last time I was in here, I didn't put the proper respect on my sister Alex Isley. Ooh, that new album. Who dropped the project. I'm gonna just get right to this James Fauntleroy when the city sleeps because it's like that. And again, I meant to do this last part. When the City sleeps Alex Isley, the name of the project and the name of this song. Incredible Project.

project is we vived out let's go then friends of the show Alex Igeley winter city sleeps feature of Fondleroy let's go you know I can't sleep I can't face the moon too much true safe in the daylight think of when the city sleeps feature in James Fauntleroy entire project is a vibe shout to our good friend of the show Alex That sounds great. Alman's fire. The album is heat.

Let's see, let's see. I thought you brought it back, no, no. But speaking of bringing things back, I got a part of this show here from somebody named Ishman's. I'm reading this in real time for the first time,

so this person says, Story time, I'll make it as short as possible. Bear with me. My wife and I have four kids total. Two she had before me and twins we had together, my firstborns. A year after our kids, we were pregnant again. One week we was beefing. Serious. I'm assuming to her, but it wasn't as serious to me. I viewed it as petty, but not worth beefing about. I said it was serious to her because I gave her distance while I was working on that. And that led to her texting me saying

she's going to get an abortion. I responded saying, no, you are not. Well, it's just, man, you don't have a choice in that one. Sorry, buddy. I will not be paying to kill my child. She hit me with my body my choice. I stood firm on my stance.

Come to find out, she lied to her dad to get the money to do it and had it done. Till this day, I hold resentment for that. That's not the kicker. Now, three years later, she's saying she's getting her tubes tied because she's turning 37 and has four kids. I said I'm not okay with that.

She says I'm being selfish and that I should be okay with the twins. I said you're saying that because you had two kids before me, one of which is 18 now. I feel like she's abusing this my body, my choice mentality. I told her if she does this

like she did the abortion, then I will be leaving this relationship for good because I haven't all the way forgiven you for that. She claims she has an appointment in two weeks. I think it's a bluff. But if real, would I be wrong to leave this relationship? Signed, Ishes, man. Hopefully you all were able to keep up with that.

That's heavy. That's heavy. That's complicated. It is. I disagree with him saying she's abusing my body, my choice, because it is her body, her choice. And she's 37. I mean, yeah, with medicines and stuff today,

women are having healthy pregnancies much later, but she might not want to go through that anymore. You're a higher risk. So she might say, I'm done. I think she has the right to do that. I mean, he's saying, is he wrong for leaving a relationship? Now, you got to do what's best for you. If you feel, I think that you shouldn't leave the relationship.

I think that a relationship takes two, and she may need your support. She still will need your support, but if you have to leave in order to keep your sanity because you draw a line, then you got to do what you got to do if it's, you know, to keep peace in the home. Is you smiling?

What's so, ish? No, it's a real complicated. You think he should leave? No, I just think it's a complicated thing. I think that... What's your man, my fault? I think that... I don't know if you don't.

I think that... Shorty's definitely right. When she says her body, her choice, I think that if she wants to tie her tubes, she can do so. I also think that in real relationships, I think it's a conversation to be had. Like, he may want more kids.

She may not want more kids. I think that those are conversations to be had. And she does reserve the right to change her mind. You get what I'm saying? I just think that it's a real slippery slope. I think if he wants more kids and he leaves the relationship, now your twins suffer. You know what I'm saying?

Like it's really no definitive answer. And it's not a right or wrong thing. It's more of an emotional thing on both of their behalf. It's a real tough, tough, tough time. Thoughts and prayers to him. I agree. I mean, people have a right to change their mind. people have right to change their minds

I think though when you enter a relationship it depends of what commitments you made you know like what if he did that what if she said like

I want kids I'm committed to having three kids four more kids and that was the condition of them getting married and he go get sniffed or just says you know what I don't want no more kids

that changed my mind again he has a right to do it but I do think what got us into that relationship should at least be part of the conversation. I still agree her body, her choice. She should be able to do whatever she wants with her body. And I agree with Flip.

Yeah, he has a right to leave. I don't think he's wrong to leave. I think if you want a thing and that person doesn't want that thing anymore or ever, then people are right to leave. The same way, she has a right to change your mind. He has the right to change his mind about the commitment.

I think that's okay. Yeah, I agree. And also, she could just throw a little bit of Bell, She could just have been secretly taking birth control. I appreciate that she was honest with him. Instead of getting a tube style, she could have done this on the low and not told him.

I had him thinking they were trying to have a kid all this time until you ran out of field. So I appreciate her transparency and honesty about it. I don't know enough about what they agreed to going in to know how big of a pivot this is. But yeah, like everybody's saying it's messy. Yeah, I would just be careful, I guess, I agree with what everyone said. I would just be careful with throwing away potentially a good relationship and a good person because of this. Unless it's really something.

that you really feel that strongly. Yeah, exactly. Because how good can a person be if she's going against, or they're going against your, what you truly believe in? I mean, you could be good, but I'll never be happy in the situation

because it'll never leave me. I would always regret being in this situation. I would always think, what if, unless we go together and get the proper help. He said he's already resentful based on the first abortion issue. Yeah. And that ain't going to get right unless they have another kid.

It sounds like that's about the only thing that's going to make them feel better about it. I think, again, my thing is if he leaves, that's definitely a choice of him. For sure. But your twins are going to suffer. And I'm sure the other two kids that have grown to know him are going to suffer as well. So it's really a bad thing.

And again, I would just caution if everything else is good in the relationship. I don't know if I would give that up for personally. Break, baby. Break baby, you scream. I mean, that is an option. That is an option. Oh. Well, hope we were able to help, nigga.

When you have a brave, you on a break. All right, hopefully y'all have enjoyed this broadcast as much as we enjoyed delivering it to you. Until next time, keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there. Until next time we bid you a do farewell. Adio, Seriva, Dirtya, Asta, Lovista. Arvois. So long goodbye, a simple head novel suffice.

Remember life is a series of moments and moments past, so let's make this one last as if it's all we have. Last but certainly not least.
