Enjoy the show. Yeah, that's all. So you're the good breakfast you say. Girl, yes, I did have a good breakfast, Mark. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Indeed. It is a 4th of July weekend. My baby made a little something, Mark.

So you went in the kitchen while I was in the bedroom just minding my business. Nice. I know you're trying to set me up for a joke, Mark. I'm not. We're happy for you. We're happy for you. Thank you, brothers. There's nothing that y'all is day three.

I'm fine. I don't want a boy. I don't want to bore the audience with day three of what? Him living with his girl. He's counting it? He's counting it. Well, he counted hours. Oh, I didn't.

This is so fun. Yeah. If counting it is bad, then I shouldn't tell you the other part. You really think I'm crazy, but I'll tell you. All right. So they got an A minus on day one. You're rating? Who's got an A minus?

Is this school? Yo, he's a psycho. Who got an A minus? I'm grading. That's my dumb. It's family. They got an A million. Oh, you grade him as a unit.

Yeah, each day. Each day. There's no one man above the team. Day two, we dropped. Let's see. Damn. Fall off on day two. What do?

What happened on day two? Me and the dog had to get a quaint. Oh, you got a dog. Oh, you got a dog. Is it a little cutie dog? It's a little chihuahua. I saw there's a dog bed that just arrived. That's all I'm gonna say.

Oh, the new dog bed. Oh, the doggy car seat too? Look at you providing. Please. Please get it. I thought it got sent to the wrong apartment, like wrong building. We're talking about.

We're talking about bitches is bad enough to make you move them in with a dog and kids. Pussy good. Oh, my mom got two. Pussy power. Moved me with two dogs. Pussy power. And I be out there.

walking them and slip us. Chicks is bad. So you're going to war with a chihuahua on day two. I know he don't like gentlemen. So the dynamics of the house we do have to get together. Happy 4th of July out there.

The dynamics of the house we got to get together. Anytime I've had a dog, the dog was connected to me. This dog is connected to her. The daughters are connected to her and the son is connected to me. So we just got to get a few things.

There's a picture of it on there here? Together. Oh, my. All right, now we're doing ads. All right. We're doing an ad. Thanks, Corey. Also, the way that kids function when it's just mom in the house

versus how they knock on the door when it's a nigger in there needs to be addressed. Hard bangs, like the feds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it's something important that they want. They're not knocking. And that's cool when it's just mom. Mama. That was a nigga.

It's also cool if they want shit. No child has never knocked on the door and wanted anything of importance. That's a fact. I could be wrong. Am I wrong? They're older, so they might actually want something. That's true.

But having a blast. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. God is good. Ultra fulfilled. Blessed to be looking at my soulmate.

Every morning for three days. You said she made breakfast for you. So I'm asking you, that means you got to make lunch or dinner or something. That's the tradeoff. At some point, today. I'm not doing that today. What are you talking about?

Why would I be doing that today? You guys are lucky. I didn't have no electricity or nothing to make no food today. No electricity. Yeah, my shit went out last night at about 10.30 at night. Oh, I slept AC-less. Oh. On the hottest day of year?

That's correct. That's correct. I was fortunate that it only got up to like 80. Oh, nice. Which is not great, but it could have been worse. Oh, more parksy. Yeah, it was a rough night. That's hard.

Damn. Now I feel bad because Mom Donnie. put something out. He said put the shit up to 78. Mom Donnie said, everybody, hey y'all, the power grid is going to be struggling. Everybody put it, if you put

your temperature to 78, then we won't have any loss of life. My neighbors did not listen. We won't have loss of power. Man, went to the shit and crunked that shit to about 67. Well, you're a jersey, so don't know. Hey, man, Donnie.

Nigga, no, no. Oh. I might go to my family house in New York. And just turn it down. But that's the reason why Parks didn't have lights because the people like... Exactly. We don't affect them.

That's one of the things white people will have to endure. Like, I don't feel too bad when the whites get a... Like, all right. But my neighbors are all white. No, no, but you white, you white, though. So, yeah, sleep with sweat.

Check this one out, though. So, at least Mom Dani gave me as a choice. When you got these smart thermostats hooked up. They send a notice around saying, yo, we adjusted these shit so that to conserve energy. They turn this shit up to 78 on their own.

I love that. Are you serious? I swear to God. You have to go in there and manually override it. I'm like, why the fuck? Why don't you say 78? You're going to go to get it with a weapon.

You're going to suck at socialism, man. Y'all just going to kill everybody. Yes. Wait, socialism mean you got to keep the temperature in 78? You care about your. No, but I'm saying like this, it's a mindset of like thinking about the collective. We all we got.

Yeah. I could have managed 75. 78. See, now I lost all my sympathy for you. Just the thing, 70, 78 is so much better than 80, whatever it was last night. Yeah. I do 78 in the winter. Socialism don't know about marketing.

If y'all lead with that, the plight is over. Yeah. Keep the temperature at 78. That's like the blood's leading with we got to jump you in. I was down, but no, no. I'm going to pass. I'm cool. Choosing to zero.

On that one. Let's see here. Let's get it. We take too long so my phone freezes, which means I can't start with my clip of Mano wanting to fuck Mona. I have my friend in real life Mr. Jim Jones on the pie. He still has to be on the pie. Enough for that pod talk, Mama.

And we have Mr. Mano. I'm a big fan of Mr. Mano. No, enough of that big fan shit. On camera, Maneo came at Ebony because Ebony tried to charge him. Ha ha ha. I mean, that's what they said. No, I didn't, I just asked a question. Hello.

Hello. I was surprised about a lot of things. Hello. We can talk about that if you want. We can talk about what you're surprised. I know you. Look at Thursday. We could talk about it.

And shout out to the love of my life out there. Anyway, so I went to Lowe's. Okay. Hopefully it was a Weber. Two workers. It was a Weber. Good. Two workers in there.

One guy had an attitude. The other guy was tough to find and he was a little overweight, so the weather wasn't his friend. Oh. Did he have a washcloth? I was just good. I tipped him. I tipped them. Okay.

Or that towel. They keep on their head. Yeah, smart man. Yeah, but I went to a little barbecue. I might let her fire it up. Nice. Okay. Do you participate in this?

Some dudes take grilling series. Yeah, no, I'm going to buy the stuff. Okay. I didn't know if you want to make the sauce. I bought all the grill stuff to go to the big, the big gloves. Did you buy the chimney? The chimney, you need that. Oh, I didn't.

I'll put you on. I didn't buy a chimney. First of all, I disagree about those. I disagree about those burgers. Adults have. Ground beef burgers. That's not true with grilling. Uh-huh.

Most people that, a lot of people make those burgers, they fail, and you end up being meatballs on buns, or those peppers are too big. Why is that right? I look so confused. Because I think you're just wrong. Yeah. I don't think people in Delaware know how to make burgers,

so she ain't lying. Those people I've seen in that video that you went viral in, none of them says, none of them says, nothing about that says they got a grill, know how to grill, no fresh food. Mona, why did you have a taco? We're going to start. Hold up.

We got a little. Oh, yeah, you are back. No, for real. Honestly. Nah. Why did you have one sock off? First off. We got some cat questions for you, too.

I would like to, oh, fuck off. For you the last motherfucker that asked me a cat question, God damn it. Listen. We're asking them. Yeah, we got fucking cat. We're animals. My brothers in here called me because they were concerned and would make sure I was okay. As you heard, Is Shay, he was the first person with the news because his ears is to the street.

He knew two. hours after it had. He was on the scene. He called me. Who you at? I'm here. I said, I'm home already. That's first off. You two niggas didn't call and see if I was okay. You too. I don't know. I don't know you changed your number every two days. I text you. You don't answer.

You did call me. So shut up. Joe said he wished he had a door so he could slam that door on my face. Every day like Shukwita did. That's what I see. And then when all my brothers came to my breast going defending me, here go Joe. Fuck that. The bitch had one sock on.

That's valid. But you had a song on. I'm going to say this. You know what ran through in my head when it happened? You had just gave me advice to move really fast. And I walked really fast to that store. No, that's not what the advice meant. What was it?

You said, don't sit still. When you go somewhere, you have to move fast. People don't get to approach you because you moved back. You should be more clear about where that somewhere was. I said don't be stationary. Right. I thought he might just move. And I was moving out.

New address. No. No, you move back to the same store that you got kicked out. out of. She kicked you out of the store and you moved back to the store. Shequita can't kick me out the store. It wasn't her store. No, it wasn't her store. It wasn't like that. Honestly, I feel like, I don't know this is going to sell stupid and you're really going to hate it. I'm the type of person that, like, I learned a hard way kind of person and I've been hearing before coming here, like you got to watch this surrounders. You're not the same person. You're not a regular person. Like Mark said when I wasn't here, I do teeter on that thing of like, I feel like a regular person.

So it's like, why can't I run into this store real fast? But I'm not a regular person, and I'm placing myself in bad situations. It's almost like, let's say it was some street shit and I had some successful street shit going on. I wouldn't be around a bunch of people then either. You feel what I'm saying? So that's how I start to, like, switch it up now, you know? Period point blank, I feel like, because that girl didn't know me. I know a lot of people think that was like a viral moment.

It was just someone like you think you cute kind of thing. Like, because she was like saying I wanted to be black and shit like that. but you're watching a visual of me like fighting with that shit through my head like I know I should just leave I could have leave if I were left way faster it wouldn't be so much content but it was hard to walk off because I felt like a like damn talking to me like that you know then I tried to get on my wallow you know what I mean like sister we sisters and she was like bitch I kill you so I came down a little bit from that and it didn't work and it's like before I knew it I couldn't even find my my house like I was so confused by the time I was pulled on that door I thought it was the door to my town home it was long it was long Britten with fear. I'm glad I made it. I do have a go-finding because I've been so jumpy lately ever since.

I did learn my lesson. I'm staying out of ghettos from here to Bronx, bodegas. No, seriously. Who will be here with us? It's a very hard lesson to learn but I had to learn my lesson

is hard like that. Parks like it's so super viral. When I came in here it was already like viral locally like Philly, yeah. Ish had seen it. He really didn't see it first. He cracked the joke right there

and I was like, shut the fuck up. Green eyes where I fucked you up and these niggas here. He was like, my bad, so then y'all didn't know. Then it went super crazy. But can you just answer us about the sock before we move them? I have to wear compression socks, and sometimes I lose them. And still go outside.

So I had one, and I was running into the store for fans because I bought my friend's son some stickers. So I was in a really good move because he loves stickers. So I was going to say, making my way downtown. And she was going to say, what's such you claim, bitch? So it just didn't match. And I wanted to be like, come on, sister, we all we got. Just move, girl. I don't live enough enough enough enough.

Just move enough enough. Just move enough of that. Move up with us. Move up. You know what? Just move. I can just move up here. Yes.

You can move anywhere. Oh my God, I can just move with you basically. You can move anywhere. Or with you. Or anywhere. I don't live in the ghetto, first of all, number one. Number two, I don't think she was looking for of our moment. Number three, I could have got out of there way faster, but I struggled with it because it's hard.

You know what I mean? Okay, but how far is the ghetto from where you're going to move on? I'm ghetto adjacent. Like, you know how they be, um, they, what is they call? Not refurbish. Regentified neighborhood. So I've rent dumb high, but right down the street, different not them high that vibe.

If somebody wanted to buy crack in you. How far? If somebody went to buy cold? Yeah, there we go. Now we go. Close to my home. That's closer to the line of question. Yeah. That's a water. I know you had. Yeah. Or a bike. I ain't going to lie. You was a more. You probably could get in a walk. You can walk.

You can walk. You might get a drop. You might get a drop. Then you live in the wrong spot. You should go. Yeah. You shouldn't be there. Honestly. You went from that to the B.T. Awards. Are you all worried about me? Yes. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. A little bit. And your cat. are there any places like near you that got bars on their windows?

Well, happy fourth the July! Anywhere you want to go. Anywhere you want to go, I'm in, I'm down. There's no music, right? Because music doesn't drop on the 4th of July. Unless you want to get into a breakdown of Madonna's horrible album that came out. I don't. It's not good.

I don't. I'm fine. I do want to say, and I don't want to talk about Madonna, but I did go back and listen to the Lister's album again. Uh-huh. It's better than the first time I heard it. I was too harsh on it. It's actually, it's still her worst album.

Mark, I got to be honest. But it's good. I got it. I'm going to tell you. Because last time we did like an hour Lizzo. That was it. That's all I got. But nobody cares.

Yeah. We love Lizzo. We wish her well. I can't wait. But if I said somebody album is bad and I listen to it again. I feel to me just saying like, yo, it wasn't. It's better than I thought. Because, you know what I mean?

We're in a public platform. It's a big platform. That is. Way to bleed it up. Lizzo, salute. Indeed. Boom. Especially on cookout day.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Okay, so what do we got? What do we got? Pushaise's idiot. Taylor Swift is getting married. Yeah, Pushaise. It is a good one.

All right. Here we go. Like to hear it. Here we go. The video was released from the robbery. The video that they said they had, and it contains the contract that they said they had. I'd like to hear it here to go.

Oh, what shit? You drunk, Miss Dunberry? Tell them a little. It's a goddamn. That's a goddamn. Let them know you drop him. I drop him. No, I'm saying.

Who's actually dropping 10 17? Saddam. Really? I ain't never did who police, but none of it, bro. Tell me what's going on. What you did? What you do? You dropped.

You said you want to be drunk, you dropped. Scrored dead. A side of that. You fucking dude. You're a fucking idiot. I think it said straight business. Anyway, sorry about that. All right, I'm tossing it to my fucking street crime,

crime music court case snitch rat expert Markle Lamont hell Not I Oh I don't just freeze Yeah about to say That's this cow

It's not What would it say here? I don't care I don't care you're not here I don't care you're not here What would you say then You'd other This nigger is stupid

That's what I'm gonna say I've been saying it This was First off Just the thought to go in And say All right we're gonna get out the deal by pulling a gun on you and making you...

Like, y'all watch too many movies. Yeah. And hear too many boogeyman stories. Like, that's not how business works. I mean, there was a time where it was. You watch too many movies and hear too many stories. That's not how it works today. Today, it worked like that.

They never work like that for black. With black people. There's some people that got out of some contracts in the 90s and shit. There was some guns around. That's what I'm thinking about. It was effective once upon a time. But today, that was a different issue. I got to remember the 90s and shit.

has been like three decades. That's a long-ass time ago. And he wasn't there for that. It feels like yesterday. Yeah. It does feel like yesterday. Yeah. But he wasn't there for that.

So again, you're hearing stories. You weren't there for you. Yeah. There was no cameras back then. You could get away with shit. That's the key. Because even if you don't get out the deal, like you don't go to jail.

Right. Now with recordings and video, all that shit happens. Especially if you have your band recorded. It ain't even like somebody else caught it. Secure, like surveillance footage. No, you know, dog, record me robbing him and making him sign this deal. See, see, that.

And that's the shit I don't like about it too because it's like one thing to be like, I'm doing this for business. But then there's the clout chasing part of it. You know, when you see people on social media wearing jewelry that was taken, when you see people looting to it and rap lyrics, when you see social media posts. Like, if y'all really doing that,

then you shouldn't be doing this other thing over there. See, I'll never be able to understand that part, but again, I'm not a criminal, so. It goes back to our other conversation we had the previous part about image and all that type of shit. Like, you take somebody chain and now I can prove, you can't,

what Drake said You know, somebody pulling their chain And said they got robbed Like now if Or you could say Yo, I lost my chain or whatever Right You could get out of it

By saying something else happened No, nigga, we got your chain right here Right You know what I'm saying? It's that I need to prove shit This younger generation All they care about is proving shit To the internet

Yeah, I know young people That's killing it out there And that's like really bright So I ain't gonna loop up all the young idiots with just being young. No, these niggas are just idiots. And that's okay. I thought these niggas was idiots before this.

But even those who are bright, but even those who are bright, if somebody questions something about them, their first thing they do is rush to prove it. That was the whole Cheyenne Bryant thing. Hey, post it. Prove it to us. You know what I'm saying?

It ain't just the idiots. It's this internet shit where I have to prove it to strangers. Good or bad. If I don't post it. If I don't post it, it's not real. It doesn't exist. I have to prove it to you strangers

Not just the bad shit I think Cheyenne Bryant's a false parallel Because there's no jail time involved With her line about school No I'm saying Could it be? Could it be? Could it be?

Only if you were doing a certain kind of therapy I would imagine Hmm interesting Yeah but in general though Got it. People lie about degrees all time Preachers. No I wasn't talking about some jail shit

I'm just saying proving You niggas need To go to like A crime school Like, go somewhere and learn crime if you're this passionate about it. Like, if you really going to dedicate your entire life and then I've read something this morning, he's got a newborn baby coming? Oh, my God. Then his mom come out and say he's expecting child.

His mom posted the ultrasound. You know, the internet, get the internet in. Shorty's name wasn't covered out. And they realized who that is. Oh, Lord. Yeah, it's a lot. Who the mom? And they're all out of them.

The mom is my famous, yeah. Who is it? Marissa. Who's Marissa? You. Not that, no. And Ellie Chopper baby moms. Oh, shit, the old one.

The bad bitch, the one is the under 30s. Yeah, she, you two for two with your rap with a Cig bitch. All right. They started putting a... Now, why would she do? Now, that proves, you know, you're a sick bitch. Now, why the fuck would you do that? Damn, it just hit me how dumb that was.

I love Mo Nika. Wow, yikes. That's no, but that's... Somebody break it down for me. I'm slow. Yeah, me too. I'm missing it. When she was with N.A. Chopper, he was the, you know, her young boy, and it's like, he did

what young niggas do. Got cheating her. I think he broke up with her. He didn't really... Because he wanted to be in baby's life, but he didn't want to do the family thing, and she would blast him. And then she would take advantage of blast him all the time. If y'all remember, N.A.

Chopper tried to be, like, more open to, to, like, the gays and, like, different sounds. and he would do like anti-violence type of stuff and she'd be the first one chewing his ass up very good at a girl but she would be chewing his ass up it's crazy because I talked about her here before and she did me not to say don't talk shit but she didn't say bitch I'm 32 not 36 gone to hold the bitch but she's a bad bitch

but just for you to drag him like that and have a baby with him and then the second one be push out of me girl we get to ovulating and just make mad to see Yeah, that's like the tweet that's going around now with fucking Eva, from the old time of Eva talking about, y'all I broke up with Lance Gross because he wanted kids

and I didn't want kids and I don't feel bad every time I see him because I got three kids. Yeah, that's cool. And her three kids is with a politician boy. No, no, no, no, boy. She got one with Kevin. What's home boy to be? Kevin McCallie.

Yeah, she got one. Just the oldest is with Kevin McCall. The other ones are with that politician guy. Okay. But if you leave a Lance Gross because you don't want kids and get even a half a kid with Kevin McCall Yeah

I mean Kevin McCall is a little He was like in the beginning of his shit That's before You didn't really know he was crazy crazy To say at that chair I'm not even talk about that You always have to know We just say it like he said

Lance Gross All right I don't get why What's the call? I cannot believe that's Poo Shaisty baby wow Poo Shasta you need a You need a good shit

Don't know I didn't He need a mental I don't have mentor upstate. I don't have a mentor. It's always a good old man to help you out when you do 20, 30. He needs like a how to do crime book. Crime for dummies?

Yeah, exactly. His father advice was, hey, let's go in there and run down on the niggas. I don't know why right keep ignoring that. That's the part that I didn't love. It's his fucking dad. And then he went. His father's a gangster. His father's respected in Memphis.

He came up as a baby gangster, baby his father. So the fact that everybody is being blind to the fact that this boy is literally raised to be a, I've been saying it in his music that he got the game. He got all of that through his. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Y'all saying these things. Why people are disregarding that fact is because when you say that, it implies that because there's generations of this, we're good at it.

No, that's not. My dad was a gangster. My dad did this. He raised me. He got years in. He's flying over here. That would make me believe. that sometimes is off the table.

Or we just said shit that worked in the 90s don't work today. My pops is old. The way they was doing shit back then, he might have told me to do shit the way that they used to do it. But how about... It won't fly today. Right. Like, just how I got out of stacks records.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Gang culture is totally different than regular gangsta culture, right? In Philadelphia, we don't have like gang bangers, like more beef over blocks. Gang culture is totally different. You will be born as a blood. That's what you are. Now, how I'm sure is 50 million black men?

men and black women that can say, I was born in a blood family, I was parvo, but I went to college, I escaped, or whatever. But that took some steps to be made. If you're in a family where your fucking grandmother has a flag, right? So that's what I say with which I see. Where they from in Memphis, they gang bang. I think they're some type of crips or something.

If your father's a crippling, you're a crib. So if you grow up gang banging like that, then you get this blessing of entertainment, why is anybody really shocked that that's how they handled the first contract riff? I would be shocked if that wasn't how they handled it. You know what I'm saying? If daddy didn't grow to teach him,

I'm not excusing anything. I'm just saying it's more indicative of you not being an extra special person to beat your environment. Extra, extra smart people beat their environment. Average people just do what they see, what they see around now. And if I'm a criminal and I've been in and out of jail and I plan on continuing my life of crime, I'm not saying fuck the feds in my music. My brain just says that would make the fit. Feds target me when I'm not trying to be targeted.

Sometimes you want to hide in plain sight, though. How does saying fuck the feds do that? Everybody says fuck the feds. That's not true. Everybody, a lot of people say fuck the fed. Plenty of people rap about selling drugs and don't sell drugs. If I was a drug dealer in real life and rap, I might still rap about selling drugs just to get a high in plain sight. If the feds just left my house.

If I'm on federal probation, I might not be saying fuck the fed. Yes, that's what I'm talking to say. I hear that. I hear that. You know, I don't have no answer to this. I think this thing was the dumbest nigga. I'm forcing my brain to even say something about this stupid nigga. I want to say that...

I'm praying for him. I want to say that the police don't care about stuff like that, but it's not true. Remember when Big Meach and them got indicted? You know, that cop would drive into work to Atlanta and Meachin' them had that... The World is yours. And it pissed him all. Every day on the way to work for this dumb-ass 99-5. And I got to look up and see this.

Rich-ass man talking about the world is mine. I know he's selling cocaine. That was part of the reason why he indicted him. So I'm sure fuck the fed might irritate. I'll tell you one. thing, totally. However, they was reporting that story versus me seeing it now totally changed

whatever I was thinking about, Gucci Man. Boy, that was the smoothest robbery I ever seen. He was smooth. He was sure. Gucci Man was all right. He looked as comfortable as one could possibly look. He looked annoyed. Like, y'all, you know, like,

yeah, I already, you got it. All right, what? What's up? And he looked smart. Yeah. Right. Hands in my pockets. I ain't moving. You look smart. Like, come on, man. Hey, Poushasty is dropped from 1017.

Oh, you did. I already said it. I said it. I said, I said, I have nothing to do with 1017. I'm writing the paper. Pushaid ain't got nothing to do with 10. Naga, dude. Y'all got Draco's out, and all y'all want me to do is say this and sign this.

No problem. And I go home? Why did they think that would word? All right, back. Hey, Pushite, hey, Pushite, he dropped from 1017. Hey, Pushite was never signed in 1017, and he would never be signed. Like, what else y'all in 1017? You?

Ain't nobody on 2017 no more. Hey, just me. I'm closing the label. You ain't. You ain't. Hey, ain't on 1717? I don't know. And Pooh looked like he was drunk or something.

He looked growing even. No. You don't want to fuck. He looked dumb. Yes. He got a slow look to him. They need to put that in his fucking PSI and he was in the real. But FDO, I played it again.

That shit is hard. He smoked that up. He smoked that. I don't know why he's... Slow-dick. But even in that record, the niggas said, my grandmother told me to keep the grass low,

but the whole time I'm the snake. Yeah. It's one of my favorite lines. I mean, the music better when they're living in. It's kind of telling you. Unfortunately it is. It's so much better. Unfortunately, it is.

Then Gucci walked over to the gun, the gun dude that was blocking the door. Yeah, get your face on camera too, then. Yep. Yeah, you, you too. Now let me walk back over here. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, man. I tell you, that was smooth.

I'm still not with the record Gucci put out. I just didn't like it. And I'm still not with you signing all the niggers that are into this behavior, but. My dad, so many are dead. Like, it's just such bad. They lost a lot. He lost a lot.

RIP, big scar, scar, and enchanted. They were pretty talented. Let me tell you something. If Poochastey don't want to be on 10th, guess who the fuck ain't going to be on 10th? You're gone. He said that. It dropped.

That's what the phone call. So they all on a bell? Except everybody about Pushishti. Oh, he's not. That's how we're talking about him. They're trying to get the feds to revoke his, because he's on probation with the feds. So they're trying to get the feds to violate them.

Yeah. Because part of that is you can't be with no guns and none of that shit. And here you are on video. The feds typically like to let them out weigh one. So they do one case and then another one. So it's like if they do that, they're really on his ass because typically they just wait.

Because they ain't got no, they always win. They don't have no, you know what I mean? Right. The rush would be the random concurrence, so they're not doing two sentences separate, but they don't give a fuck and they know they got you so it doesn't matter. Got it, got it.

Okay. He's fucked. He's out of you. No, he's out of you. You feel bad for him? I do. I don't know I feel bad for him. I feel like the same thing would take care.

like he didn't have a shot. Some people you just don't have a shot. I hear that. You do not have a shot and it's like... Wait, hold on. Take K was a fucking minor. No, Tay K. Yeah, but I'm talking about Pushachy had a shot.

Pushachy had a shot. Listen, we're not going to break it down to the sea like y'all like to do. I know what she's saying. What I'm saying is that, like I said, 50,000 other times between being grown up in gang culture and having your parents who balls in vagina you came out of, gang bang. I just think that it's hard to change. It's hard to handle things. Joe, if you were about to make a terrible decision,

you could call either one of your parents, and they probably would tell you the opposite. Your son just did, you told us about your son. I understand. You know what I'm saying? I get that. At some point, though,

maybe after your first case, or your second case, you do have to take some ownership of the decisions. Like the outcome. Daddy on the phone, like, you know what time it is, son? Yeah, and let's fucking. Prison time.

You know how we get down, son. Yeah. That's what it's finally. Well, all that. Load that shit up, nigger. Come get your daddy, nigga. I know jail has to suck it 105 degrees.

outside. In jail, whenever it's hot, it's too cold, or when it's cold, it's too hot, whatever. Well, hopefully the next artist is watching this will make a different decision. Maybe there'll be some cautionary tale shit for them. Yeah, it would. Speaking of music, though, you've been following this NDII, this NDII situation? I have, and I want to talk about it so much. I have.

I have so much to say about it. Well, let's talk about it. Well, first thing that happened, this all started because of a remix that was put out. when Spinnett was flipped in the video, Indy I Reeds video. And so that's when India kind of jumped in and started speaking about it. What did she say?

And she also reposted something on threads. This is important, right? The threads part, someone that said, let's ban the song or let's boycott the song. And people assumed that she was supporting a boycott. Then what she talked about was, and what other people talked about, was that this was bad for the culture,

that this was detrimental for the culture, that it's harmful and she don't rock with it. There was a time. But she said she did not say boycott. That was not her idea. She addressed some of this and I have what she said just so we are all on the same page.

Hello, hello. Hey, hello. We love you, India. That's the Erica Bokhton version, by the way. Hello, hello, hey, hello, hello. I love you, but I will times too on the Don't make me do it. All right, fuck it.

My third album, Testimony, Volume 1, like relationship turned 20 years old on Friday, the 27. It's not up on me. Somebody had to tell me. And so that's why I'm making a video right now instead of writing about this on my sub-sab,

which if you know, you know, I like writing on my sub-subs. And, you know, I see that little back there. Okay. And I've been in the blogs a couple times this last week. Here we go. I wanted to come and talk about these things.

Let's talk about the easy one first. It is being wrongly reported that I think we should boycott this song of the summer. I'm not going to tell you what it is because I refuse to sing that song, but either you know what it is or you don't. If you don't, you can go fine.

So you're talking about Carisha song, y'all. But I don't think it should boycott. What I want is to see people understand the power of words and music and to make choices that are healthy for them. That's what I want. Do I think it matters what I want for people? No. I have finally learned that it doesn't matter

and that there's no amount of sacrificing my life forces. energy that is going to make anybody want anything better for themselves. All I can do is emanate what I emanate, stand for what I stand for, and hope that it reaches who is meant to reach. And that's it. And that's all I'm going to do. And so my comment makes it very clear that I don't think we should boycott. My comment is tantamount to everybody doesn't want the same things.

And there are a lot of people who are saying, it's just a song. Well, if that's what you think, enjoy. But what I know is that music has power. But of course, I have used that power. to help some people, and I have traveled around this world twice, and I see the impact of what we export out of the black American experience to the rest of the world. Longer story for another time, but I've seen it.

So I know, and I'm telling you what it is, but you enjoy if that's what you want to do, and I will enjoy doing what I want to do. That's why I don't think anybody needs to boycott. I think it just need to make choices for themselves. That's what I think. I like that. That's one. There you have it.

Yeah. One, I appreciate her take on the boycott thing. And I think that's generally my position on art is don't boycott it. Don't legislate it. Let people make choices. I may be loud about a thing that I like or don't like, but I think people are right to do it. I think if you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would have been completely in disagreement with India about spend that. Which I like, by the way.

I think it's a, you know, as a song, I think it's great. But now I get it in a different way. I understand the harm that songs have. I don't think that's been that is uniquely harmful or particularly harmful. And I've seen another comparison. Like, is it more harmful than everybody listening to Annie Up? You know what I mean? Like, it's like, no, right?

No. No. So I don't want to isolate this song like it's some uniquely problematic thing. But I do think there's a conversation to have about, like, do we want to keep celebrating songs? that encouraged behavior. And he had that fool? Yeah.

Damn, nigga. See what I'm saying? Like, oh. It's old. Yeah. But I think that was the point. It's like we've always been doing this. And sometimes every generation likes to act like new shit is, the new music is different.

And I'm saying? Every generation has these conversations. As I get older though, I do think about the harmony that music causes and the damage that it can cause. And so I would take the position of, yeah, maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we shouldn't, what? Rock with it. Not that we shouldn't be allowed to, just that me personally, maybe I need to even be

more thoughtful about. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't. But you never rocked with it. Remember I was like, but then I went outside and I was like, he came around. And my opposition to the song was never the message of it. I was just like this song is just like a, it just was like kind of like. But the frequencies from the song didn't make Mark turn to a life of boosting. Right, but Mark is really intelligent.

I think that. True. First of all, shout to Indiaree for looking amazing in that clip. She looks exactly the same. She looks beautiful. Everything about Indiare is. Yes, like the brown skin's still glowing. You look good, girl.

But I think that's the part that's so confusing to me is that I'm like a real grew up in hip-hop kind of kid. And I remember these conversations every time we had them. I remember when it was an NWA thing. I remember when it was a Little Kim thing. I remember when it was a Luke thing. I mean, I could remember Little Kim, Little ass sitting on like daytime television and everybody just coming at her. You're a fucking whore. Why are you doing this?

You know? So it's like, it's kind of silly. That way, also, my personal opinion, the song sucks. That's when I first didn't like it, it's because how it's just so fucking ghetto. I'm ghetto, love to ghetto, see the beauty in the ghetto, but that was a little too much for me. Wow. They put cracking. No, listen, hear me out.

It's not, I'm not even saying like it's too much for me, like, because of the content, it's just corny. Like, to me, it's just repetitive, spend it boost. That's what I said. I didn't fucking get. It's corny. I'm not saying I didn't like it because it's too low vibrational. I'm saying it's just so fucking. You didn't like the song?

Yeah. So. That's fine. I'm not mad at that. Now we all listen to it. We all like it. It's one of them songs that you heard it enough. Now you like it.

But I think it's one of them situations where it's just like you, well, I guess it happens a lot where you blend the cultures. That's the song we're supposed to hear in the club and at the strip club and shit. But now you hear it at the Fenner Union. And your grandma is saying, turn that, spin that on baby. It's one of them songs. And I think that's what's irritating the church folk. Because you are going to hear it after Frankie Beverly in the mix now because it's the biggest song in the summer. Shout out to you, bitch.

Fire that DJ. Yeah. I mean, really. She got a bang her some kind of way out of that bullshit And I want to congratulate I think you damned if you do, damned if you don't First it was so horrible because it sucked Now it was so horrible because of the content

It's like, but it might be Even in terms of content records This ain't even that bad Compared to some of all the other shit Nika, we was running The clubs everybody was wondering I was wondering Perkissette, Molly Perkissette

It's just like this ain't shit This is on the lowest Possible level of Whatever India is trying to say I think we should take all the offensive rap songs and figure out the prison sentence for each time and then lay it out. You know what I'm saying? Like, come on. That day might happen.

They always affiliated with a crime. They're going to start putting her. Some girl was allegedly boosting. Probably like two days ago where her toddler in the car, police officer shot the car, killed this time. But she was in that store stealing and she ran to the car. Boosting has always been a dangerous job like that. I've seen boosters get murdered just like that with the same story that she was driving the car towards security

versus her trying to drive to get away with her fucking down coats. I don't know, but that's what they do. It's the same thing. They associate crimes with the song. They make it a big thing, and then it's like this big effort to take the song down. It's too late. Everybody loves it.

See, I think in this case, I don't think India chose this song because it was particularly bad. Again, I think it was just because that's what got mixed with her. With her. Yeah. Which is also interesting because video is basically put it in your mouth. Right?

When you think about it. What? It's on video. Okay. And you remember to put it in your mouth? Yes. A Canelli? It's then the same track.

It is the same track, isn't it? Same sample, maybe, yeah. I mean, I'd be part of it, I think. I don't think there's any different. Aconelli, that was a classic. I don't think there's any difference in your mouth in video from what I can think. That's good thing. But so I'm saying that to say, like, it's interesting how, like, a track can be one thing.

But the content, when you think about video versus put it in your mouth, there's a radically different way you experience the song. That's interesting to me. me and important to think about in terms of the impact it might have on the culture. I'm okay saying, look, spend that in the top 50 of fucked up song. However, use it as an opportunity to say, maybe we can listen to some different shit. Maybe we could do something because maybe we are reinforced the culture of unhealthy things. I used to be one of the, because when I first got into sort of activism as a scholar,

a lot of my stuff was, my first work was around hip-hop, and I was one of the people who was critical of Tipper Gore, one of people who, critical of C. Dolores Tucker, one of people were critical of all the people that were coming after hip hop smashing the CDs and all that stuff. And now 30 years later, I'm like, they were right. But what was it right?

But what was that right? Not about the, forget about the free speech part. Again, I support free speech. I can't forget about that. It's the major part. That's the main. That's not the part that I'm disputing. I'm saying, I begin from everybody should make whatever they want to make. Okay.

My thing is, why do we have an appetite for it? I want us to have a different appetite for it. Why do we only do this with black music? Why don't, there's mad rocks all? that are extraordinarily destructive. Well, that's why I mentioned Tipper Gour because she would have to rock. You know, she didn't, she didn't, she didn't, she wasn't particularly focused on, on the hip.

In fact, she was more focused on, on the rock stuff. Okay. I'm saying all of it, right? But I have a particular interest in black music because I have a particular interest in black people. Okay, okay. But, but again, why does one seem to negate the other? Like, if I have an appetite for Italian,

that don't mean that I don't have an appetite for soul food. That don't mean that because I'm listening to this song, don't mean that I'm not listening to fucking Mary Mary, or anything else. Even if I'm listening, just because I'm listening to the song, don't mean I'm taking anything from the song but the music. You know, everybody ain't

running out here. I heard this record now it made me want to do X, Y, and Z. That's a fact. But it's not as high as people think. It's not as high as people think. I would put more of that. I would put more of that on movies.

I would put more of that on certain video games, all of that shit before I put it on hip-hop. Very small amount of people are influenced by what, you said it. I didn't know. you just changed what you said, not influenced by a very small percentage of people hear something and do it.

And then go do it. In a song? Not influenced by. And the studies... As a teenager I have. The psychological studies that I, you know, again, this hasn't been my area of expertise in a while, but when I was looking at the impact of, like,

music on people's actions, it is relatively small. People don't listen to shoot them up songs and go out and shoot people. That's not what I'm worried about. I'm talking about the broader cultural patterns and trends. When Jay-Z told people to stop wearing jerseys, We stopped wearing jerseys. Like, there's a cultural impact.

Jayzie also said, Jayzee also said Scarface the movie did more than Scarface the rapper to me. Sure. Meaning, like I'm saying, like people love to just go write to hip hop and say, this is what's doing all of these things. That's at the bottom of the list of shit that's fucking shit up. Right, but I'm not saying that. I'm making a different argument because I agree with that argument. I don't think that, for example, there's a culture of violence in America. It's not unique to hip-hop.

It's not unique to culture. It's not unique to culture. It's a culture of violence in humanity. No, no, no, no, no, in humanity. I'm making that point. I'm saying the same thing you're saying. Look how Carisha got us. No, but she's gotten us someplace interesting, I think, right?

Like, I would say even down to foreign policy, our response of problems is to shoot it or bomb it or blow it up. That's America. That's not hip-hop. I'm with you. I'm with you. That's not my issue. My issue is that there are certain things in our culture that matter more to us

than things that are outside of our culture. And I'm saying inside of our culture, what kind of values we want to have. Now that I look at, think about what C. Delors's Tucker was talking about about massaginia. hip-hop, but Dean Warwick was saying, I can't 30 years later as a damn near 50-year-old man with any honesty or integrity say the hip-hop isn't misogynistic. Right, I just can't.

It is. Right. So if all of our songs are misogynistic, that isn't... You threw a word in there. It's not all. Fair. Withdrawing. Not even close.

That's the problem, though. That's where my problem starts right there. I said the wrong word. I misspoke. I'm going to take it out. But there are a lot of people that say kind of what you're saying, and they don't take the all out. Too shay.

But I don't want to lose the actual point that I'm making, which is if there is a lot of misogyny in our culture, which it is, then that does shape and influence how we think about things. I was influenced by Snoop. I was influenced by EZE. I was influenced by Digible Plans and Most Definite. I was just influenced by all of it.

Exactly. But even some, but so. I was influenced by Snoop too, but I didn't go out and start smacking, bitches. Because he said it in a lyric somewhere. And again, I'm not arguing that people listen to it and run out and do it. Again, I'm talking about attitudes, trends, values.

Why do we always take it in? Well, we're pretty special people. What about everybody else? Well, my thing is, I have a few points to me. I think it's the other way around. That's why. I have a few points. But I'll explain when he's done.

Go ahead. For me, I won't speak for me. Art is not just reserved for the good people. That's true. True. It ain't. Like, some art, I'm with the art that's speaking about whatever sin is from their surroundings or that they're experiencing or when they were that I'm fly with.

Sometimes it even opens the door. for healthy conversations like NDRI is attempting to have. Two, NDRI has always come from a very unique place. Yeah. Like, her first day on this scene, it was, we are beautiful as a people. Fuck what them people was talking about. Don't let them talk about our hair and our skin.

And you are, like, she was proud and kicking something that wasn't really popular. And it's never been popular, really, in this. Which leads to my third point. I'm not going to let us see. sit here and keep talking about Carisha, Carisha, Carisha, when the bigger conversation is the infrastructures

that are in place that push some of the programming to certain... Y'all ain't going to put this on fucking young Miami. At all. You've had Tank come up here and talk about the programming.

And later in this NDR re-Clip, she does go on and talk about Clive Davis. I maybe should have played it. But yeah, if we're going to start attacking just songs, especially the good ones, Like, we need to start attacking where they come from and why they come from. And why they're being promoted.

A thousand percent. And why are they being promoted to who they're being promoted to? Yes. My next point is. And I don't think it's about the songs. Music and art is applicable. Is you decide how it's applicable to your life, right? Like, I've been vibing with this T.I. shit so hard.

And part of why I'm enjoying it. And not just him. I'm enjoying. age appropriate music for me where I am adult music that I can identify with he on there talking about having money going broke

being a dad being a family fucking grown up making mistakes like he's I like that I don't know if I necessarily need that when I'm in a strip club or when I'm in a night light or when I don't

really need to hear nothing that is age appropriate for me give me all of the bounce that asses like a friend do. Give me the, I want the thick one, all of that shit that don't make no sense. This is the environment that I would like to hear that I don't leave

here and now I'm programmed some type of different way. Yeah, so again, I think we all agree that music isn't that one-to-one where you hear something in your program. But it's that before you get to the words is what I'm saying. Music does something before a word is laid to your body.

That's why I use the putting in your mind video comparison, right? Because it's the exact same track, but with very different content. Both hard. Both classic. For sure. And I'm saying sometimes the content does change something. But I think also you're in a strip club and you're in your really late 40s, right?

And you're listening to... I'm not in my really late 40s. No, you said my really late. I meant you really are in your late 40s. Listen to the strip club. You're old enough to make that choice. And there's always been music, whether it's Millie Jackson, whether it's Clarence Carter, rest in peace, where...

Rest of these both of them, where you could listen to this music in the comments. of a certain space, but now the plan feels a little bit more level to me. So everybody's hearing everything. And so I'm not so much worried about how you respond to the scammer. But my response to that is that that's back to me saying you take what's applicable to you. And you know what I say? Hold on. Hold on.

That's what I was about to ask you. That's what I mean. That's what I mean? That's what about beating their women. So hold on. And I, and that's a problem. Johnny Cash. All of it is.

But see, I'm not. I'm saying those are okay. I'm saying it's all the problems. And I'm saying we should probably be more critical of it. Mark, let me ask you a question. Do you think that there are teenagers that will hear spend it and say, oh, I need to start scamming? Yes, hon. I'm there's, yes or no?

Yes. Oh, yes. Listen, fuck the ratio. Again, y'all, my argument is. I know what you're saying. I'm not saying. It's not a, do this. Right.

However, there is a scammer culture. And there are people who scam. And if I'm already mixed up a scammer culture and my favorite song. is about scamming, yes, I think that might make it. So I've already been in scam. Like, scamming ain't new. That's why I'm not blaming the music. I'm saying the music is a factor that makes things hard.

We have an opportunity when we listen to something. It could make things the same. It could make things better or it can make things worse. I'm saying maybe sometimes make some shit that makes things better. And it's not on Kareisha. It is on the industry. It is on the system. It is on all the bigger shit.

It's the same thing with gangster rap. We could have kept listening to different kinds of shit. Gangster rap had money in it, but partly because it was about killing niggas. Can I ask a question? Why isn't anybody addressing what she says when she says, I've traveled the world twice, and I've seen the impact that black culture has on the world.

I've seen that. That's a fact. Most of y'all have never seen it, so what's a fact? That black culture impacts the world today. Right, but when we're giving it out, and that's what she's saying, like when we're giving it out this way, I'm assuming she's saying what they think of us, is that what she's talking?

I don't think she's knowing her a little bit. I don't think she's primarily concerned with how the world sees it. I think she's more worried about us. How they respond to us, how they react to us, how they emulate us, how they adore us, how they take the fashion, how they take this lingo, how they take the hairstyle. She's talking about the impact that we have. Yeah, that's basically what you're trying to say. But we're giving that our impact on the world. But we do run the world.

We give an other shit out too, though. Listen, I'm just saying, and that's the thing that I think is. important about these conversations. For me, when a person comes off with, I traveled the world twice, and this is what I saw from my pay. I'm catching my ear, because I haven't traveled the world.

So it's like, and it's a different way of thinking of it because we do run shit. I just watched a fucking Japanese bar, Korean bar, this niggas doing Jodacy, whole bar, boots and suit jackets. Like, we really do run shit to that point, you know? So that's something I've never thought of.

And I'm also somebody that has never traveled the world. So that's what I just go to be interested. But when people say that, when people say that, they make it seem like this is all we're given to the world is this side over here. Correct. The best sell of the albums of this year, rap-wise, are what?

Drake and Jay Cole. Are they rapping about scamming? No, they're not. And Don Tolliver. And my thing is, when it comes to females rapping, right? I mean, we should have had our fucking female or women leader role models jump in a long time ago. This scamming song is the least.

If we just talk about the women rap, Of the last-agreed. A half decade last week. Yes. Pussy pink, booty hole brown. Yeah, stop it. Just wearing shit. And it was quiet.

Now y'all all listening to lyrics, cool. So we're breaking down. That is just anatomy. We're breaking down every word in the hook. But in the clubs, when this song come on, it's niggas with jobs throwing money. It's fucking niggas in suits throwing money. The World Cup Ecuadorian niggas, when they come and they throw them like, Nobody is really focused on the scammer portion of this record.

Yeah. It's a catchy song. She caught one. Say nine. That's what happened. And she knew what part to make fucking catchy. Spin that. She didn't say scammers spin it.

Scammer spin it. Don't boys get it. Don't boys get it. It was just a simple spin that shit. Yeah. That's anybody. Hey, my son, my son, when he take all my money off the dresser, spin that.

You don't spend that curse. You bet your best. Oh, no. My girl's son, he thought, because in the radio they just say spinach. But she said it real fast. Spinage. Spinage. I'm like, what the fuck?

Play spinach. All the toddlers say spinach, I swear. Spinage chips? No, do. I wanted to go to houses the other day and I just started singing spinach dip in my head. I swear. She about to get an applebee's deal. Spinage dick.

Spinage dick. Spinish dick. Go in Miami. Get that fucking one. Hey, that's a good one. Aquarian. Let's go. And yo, Miami, you ain't got to give a fuck about what none of them is talking about

as hard as you worked to get one of these after your group broke up. That's the other side. This girl bust her ass. She was left for dead, ho. Everybody clowning you. Soon as it happened with dude, everybody. Ah, look now.

And she fought through that and came out with one. Like, come on, man. Now y'all want to start popping shit. No, no. I don't think it's about that. And I didn't like the song at first. So I want to make it seem like I was one of them day one. They put crack it, didn't they?

It's a good fucking. Like, when you're outside? You guys. One of the time, please. Oh, sorry. When you outside that record does exactly what you needed to do. Yeah. Can't deny that.

I just wish it would a little more cool. I mean, I think about, so we don't stay in the exact same place, I was thinking about hip hop and its impact positively, right? For example, growing up, we heard a lot of records about people whose dads wasn't there. I think that mattered. I agree. Like, I think hip hop made it not cool to be a deadbeat dad. Fucking agree.

I think hip hop did some amazing shit. And people don't. rap about, yo, I had two kids, never seen them, like you don't rap about that shit. Now, some of them do it, but they don't rap about it. I don't even, I don't like that. I don't like that. What?

That's true at some point in hip hop, depending on where you were introduced. Yeah. I didn't hear nothing when I was introduced that part. I didn't hear a peep about nobody having a dad. In the 80s. Oh. On L. Radio, I didn't hear him say it.

Kid and Play, Rock him, Slickwick, greatest adventures. I did he and say it. I think it's a very 90s thing. Run DMC. I didn't hear him saying. Like, that wasn't my introduction to hip-hop. A bunch of fathers.

I'm thinking about the 90s. I'm thinking about from Biggie. I'm thinking about Ed O.G. I'm thinking about, I mean, actually, everybody damn near, right? I feel like in the 90s people. Ed O.G is the first time I heard somebody say, hey, man. Do this shit. Be a dad.

But I'm less thinking about the positive message. Because, again, the positive message becomes, like, didactic. And sometimes it's like, that's not the thing you want. I'm talking about just people telling their own experience. And the same nags are talking about shooting people. The same thing about fucking all that shit. They also were saying, like, yo, my pop wasn't there. and it mattered.

I think it mattered. Single. So I'm saying in the same way that hip hop has an ability just culturally to impact how we think about fatherhood

in a positive way I don't want to I can't give hip hop credit for that and not also hold hip accountable for ways that culture we might be

influenced by some other shit that's different. That's negative. Hold hip hop accountable but I mean it's going to get heavy. It is.

It's much bigger than hip hop once you do that that. That big and that shit is like so frowned upon right now Like, niggas, oh, I don't hang with niggas

that don't take care of their kids. And I do think hip hop has something Yeah. And I do think it has something to do with so many rappers in the 90s and 2000s talking about how they didn't have a dad and how that made them feel, letting other black men or men be able to express. It did hurt my feelings that I don't know my father. It does hurt my feelings that I can't have a conversation with my father and everybody say I look like him, Beanie Siegel talking about his father.

And I do think it matters and it is taboo. And I think that hip hop has a part of that. That's a great point I never thought about it. I just want to think about on both sides. That's all. We got a chance to do something different. But I don't want to, I don't want to pick on, I don't want to beat this conversation. Listen, it's Fourth of July weekend, man.

See your kids. Go outside and find your dad if he's lost. And if you, I'm about to say, and if you're at the cookout, you go ahead and spend that. A lot. The funny shit is, dad don't never be lost far away. He's right there. He'll be back on the park. No.

He is not far. If you take a drive and just do like this, you're going to find your dad. Do you know the people I know who don't know their dad? Do you know the people I know who don't know their dads who don't fuck with their dads or dads don't fuck with them and they live like two-bossy. And the dad is right there. Right there.

That's crazy. That was crazy to me. I always thought if you were like a band of your kids, you at least go to the other side of town. When I was going through whatever I went through with Tray's mom, that was the thing that was blowing my mind. It's like, yeah, we and Corey going through all this shit. And I'm literally 15 minutes away.

the official partner of the NBA. All right, Mona, we are going to talk a little sports. But it's Philadelphia sports. I know what happened, guys. Oh, for real? Yes, because I woke up and I saw a tweet that said, who's dumb or who's shy or the Celtics. Hey.

Oh, shit. And I researched it and it means that we got that guy Jaylen from the Celtics to come to us, right? Yeah, Jaylen Brown. Yeah. Congratulations to us. All right, I'm going to mute up and let the Philadelphia portion of this podcast do whatever the fuck they wanted to do. Well, no, it's real simple. Philly's back up.

That's it. Put the word back out there, man. Put the word back out. Right. We back up. We sent it to the group chat. We was hyped then. Jalen Brown just got traded to us.

for a very favorable deal that's all I'm saying good looking yo man it was a good look for for Philly yeah yeah that's oh big dog hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey first but you're crumbling you're crumbling Mark, just go ahead. You're crumbling. Did you see? Hey, Mark.

Did you see my man on Instagram talking to OG? No. Yeah. Mitch was like, look, it ain't going to where y'all thought it was. I hope the truth comes out soon. I took that. I took that to mean the exact opposite of what you're saying. I took that to mean the Knicks, who I kind of been reading the Telia, I don't really feel like they were the happiest with Mitch and they're trying to just trying to keep it down.

They didn't want them. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool. They didn't want to. But we got to get the next. We don't care about the Licks. You shouldn't.

We didn't get our rings yet. Open it night. Cool. The jury storage is closed still. That's fine. That's fine. We traded for Jalen. We did.

We got some big, some big free agent signs. The team is looking good. And we won player away from a championship. One more. And you know who he is. You know it. Who is it?

Come on. LeBron James. The king. The king. We are in. Oh, my God. The king is coming. We on the short list.

The king is coming. We are on the short list. I didn't talk to my sources. Mark don't have a backbone at all. Are we going to get them guys? Mark is so spineless. I am not spineless. So you're about to sit here and beg for LeBron to get to you.

Yes. After all you said about Brony James. I never said none about LeBron James. I'm not begging for Brony. Although I take for Brian. We got a spot for you, LeBron James, Sr. and Junior. I don't even know if LeBron is going to Philly after the stuff Jalen Brown had to say about Brony being in the league. They always squashed that.

See you being a message trying to bring up all shit. No, what you're trying to do is throw it out there. and hope he hear it and don't come because you get nervous. He loves Jaylon Brown. He's going to hear it. And he loves Jeline B. And he loves Tiree's Max and he loves the squad. Rich Paul has pieces there.

We are good. We look at great. But LeBron, listen to me, listen to me. There are a lot of people out there that don't fuck with what you're doing right now. But we love you. We do. Philadelphia's the perfect city for you. You'll be a starter here.

You'll be another champion here. And we're going to treat you great. Mona, break it down for them. Please point in LeBron while he should come to Philly. Cheese Steaks. friendly people very brotherly love loyal fans

sisterly affection they don't know about sister affection talk about it talk about it now okay we have a great Dune Day festival we have great barbers

Brian is a music head He loves right That's right You could be local See an unhoused Doing a cipher that kills it You don't want to go to Cleveland

You don't want to go to Golden State You did that already He did Cleveland already He did Cleveland You don't want to go to Golden State East Coast Feeling super clean Clean the city of earth

You like Rocky Beautiful women The steps is there All right All right You guys We got it Was that your pitch

Was that the Yeah I think it's gonna work I think we sold it We got them We got them We got something for the wife But tell me when you tag me in What do you all think about

The Celtics handling of Jalen Brown I don't want to spend A whole bunch of time Wornishable Her boy does it feel racist Yeah Ain't no feeling it. I don't

it's two things happening. It's some behind the scene shit with some player personnel shit that's interpersonal feels to me. It's about the players. It's not even about management. I don't know who's right. I don't know who's wrong. But Jalen and somebody ain't clicking from what I'm hearing.

I think that's part of it. Then the reports y'all talking about where they say he act like he's the smartest person in the room. So stupid. That started to feel racist. Yeah, that's the part that felt. Very racist. But I'm not, sure that's the biggest factor, but it's definitely the second biggest factor.

So you think it's some team. Well, in totality, we're two years removed from him being the finals MVP. We're not even a few months removed from him turning them into the second seed with no Jason Tatum. I mean, his performance plus how he's being handled, it feels, that little, he's the smartest person in room. That feels disgusting. That feels disgusting. That's like when the guys are now, I can't fuck with her because she's a whole. it's like that ain't why that ain't

what's that have to do with anything right that's my point he's the smartest person like what are we talking about he might be the smartest person and I was to say and yeah I hear he's brilliant yeah exactly

like had the NASA internship waiting for him giving lectures at what was it in my team excuse I want to get the school wrong but

extremely smart person and I mean a few other things just throwing the mix. I was listening to Dreymong Green's part and he was talking about how it's really difficult to move a contract when the guy makes $70 million a year.

Yeah. So I'm sure that has something to do with them wanting to get from under it. But my thing with that is you're all are the ones that gave him the contract. And you gave it to him not too long ago, which should have said what you thought of him. So to go from that to this in the span of...

You know what them stat dorks though? We're saying like, you know, his numbers are empty calories in that to make 70 million you need to be generational kind of talent. He's not that. That's what the stat nerds are saying. And they're saying that he's kind of underplayed his contract despite his great numbers. But the stat nerds are ruining a lot of different fields. Yes. I mean, it's not just music, it's sports.

They're out there. We got eyes. We know what Jalen Brown is and what he does. So for him to get to the Sixers, along with Anthony Simmons, who I like a lot. Or is it Simons? I don't know. I'm bad with names, but I like him a lot. Listen, Philly's putting some stuff together. Yeah, yeah. And we got out of some bad deals.

They got our third string center. They got Hookporty, champion. He can go over there and teach you all what it's like to get past the semifinals. Get past the conference finals. So can LeBron James. Well, LeBron James is not there. He's on the way? No, he's not.

I'm tracking the plane. He's on the way. Yes, we're in holding. He's coming. When else do men beg like this? You niggas going to beg for LeBron. Yes. Why don't we get this?

Sports bag. Shameless. We beg. Megan sports. What a bunch of bitches. Whatever. All right. He's saying that because they just won.

Jalen Brown, you got to the right city. Philly is on exactly what you want. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Black, smart, Muslim. He's perfect for Philly. He's Muslim.

Yeah. He actually fast during the season. They already got your spot at the Massachusetts. And Paul George, don't you worry. You're going to hear all the nigger boys. You're going to hear all the racial slurs. No, he not. Yes, he is.

No, he not. Yes, he is. He ain't he going to be a car cat. He's going to play. He's going to play. He's going to play. I feel bad for Paul George that it's always his name attached to the worst possible trade

ever in the history of the NBA. It's going to happen about three or four times now. They said he's the most valuable trade piece of NBA history when you look at all the people who've been traded for him. Would have to be. From OKC to, yeah, it's been insane. Another piece is the Lakers. They've made some moves.

Snow time. Snow time. I have never seen a team. That way. Post Jim Crow. Yeah. Not since Jim Crow, not since my people can vote,

have I seen them put together a team with that many white starters who was supposed to be the anchor of the team. They're like the old school Duke team. Yeah. Which was only a surprise to Stephen A. Smith. I never thought that Luca was going into the executive suite to say, hey, bring in some blacks.

See, I never felt like that. I don't even see them dab nobody black at all that weekend. Nothing about Lucas says, Yeah, it's him and joke The whole time Give me some white boys out The other way that Stephen A said Like you can't win with this many white people

No No See I do I don't like that shit Oh Mark Yo didn't we say no more activism This is an activism It is you activism in for the whites

No I'm activism I'm saying like you can win With the white people You give me the right whites Yeah It ain't a political issue I'm saying You get the right

Three white people You can win That's not true White men can jump You don't think you can win With Luca and Yokic And Mesh

That ain't that though No No. That's my point. They got the wrong whites. That's what I'm saying. They can't win. Well, they don't have hardly much more money to go get the whites that you're talking about. And they don't have any draft picks for the next seven years to go get some of the whites.

You're talking about. In a black sport, you do need black people. I know Elon Musk is going to hate to hear that. But you're going to need some. And you're saying, can you win with the right whites? I'm sure you could. if you get to the perfect ones.

Yeah. These whites... Chances that are very slim. They kept Vanderbilt, though, and they got Colin Sexton. So there's two blacks. Has this ever happened before? Tokens.

It's the wrong city. You know, it's also the wrong city that have many white people. That's the crazy. Boston, sure. Utah, Minnesota even maybe. Maybe. But you can't just walk around L.A.

with a whole team full of whites. You can't do that. It's bad for business. LA history. Back to Boston. It's back for the image of LA. Yeah. It's perfect of Boston.

Back to Boston for a quick second. I was reading something that said part of the Jalen Brown debacle that's not being discussed is how private equity is taking over sports. And these are the decisions that come about when private equity

is running things. They said, so a couple years ago, the P.E. Niggas come in. They take control of the Celtics, which is them wanting to shed salary. They said that they also have a 10% stake in the Spurs, the same P.E. firm.

Oh, wow. That's not okay. Which should be a total... It should be a... Want me to find it? I'll find it. How do it? Can you do that? Apparently.

Yeah, it must be some kind of loophole, but I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that at all. Talking about, can we do that? when we got Malik Beasley out here on the front of them up steal them off from his own teammates NBA niggas is betting association uh let me see i think i have this clip let's see yeah like a l'n brown wasn't traded because of bad love with the team but because the owner of the

celtics doesn't really own the celtics jalen is the latest victim of private equity in pro sports and i promise you it's only getting worse from here last year when the celtics sold the bill chisholm and his pbackers for six point one billion dollars we all kind of saw this coming. The deal was actually illegal from the jump. Here's my friend June Lee to explain. Sixth Street puts in more money than Chisholm, a structure that violated the NBA's rule

on how much private equity can own for an NBA team. Despite that, Celtics publicly announced a sale anyway, with Chisholm at the lead buyer. That public announcement helped Chisholm raise money from other investors, allowing him to reduce Sixth Street's percentage after the fact. Essentially, Bill's more puppet than owner. Sixth Street has the real power,

which allows him to run the standard PE Playbook. Think about the Celtics like Jersey Mike's, which also sold the private equity. Over the last few years, we all notice the subs have a little bit less meat, but they're still good enough to pop. That's the idea behind the Jalen Brown trade. Sure, he's a superstar in the middle of his prime,

but he's expensive and only getting more expensive on his next contract. Will the team be as good with Paul George? Of course not, but they'll still be competitive in the East and the fans are- You get the point. Oh, okay. Jersey mics, he brings up a good point. I noticed what you all are doing.

Now, I paid an extra 179 for extra meat, but that just gives you the meat that you got before. The normal, yeah. Yeah, Jersey, there is. This is what Jersey's not, can't be trusted for food. Fucking Jersey mics. Who would eat at a place called Jersey fucking mics? I love a Jersey mic.

Mark, you built your home in New Jersey. You found the love of your life. You are in New Jersey. Jersey embraced you. I better in Philly. After CNN treated you're horrible. But you asked her to where she's from it. She told you Jersey.

And you came right on. Yeah. And then you moved. You didn't make her move to Philly like a real nigga would. That's what we did. We said it for two years. Oh, really in Philly? Yeah, that's what we was.

Nor Fett. And then it was time. She went down. It was a little time. She said enough for that. People kept stealing our food off the porch. It was like, all right. She was like, enough of that.

Yeah. Once you saw me chase that homeless dude down the street for that sandwich, she was done. Next season and the NBA is going to be absolute cinema. I can't wait for the Christmas games to be announced. I can't wait for opening night, opening the night to be announced. Anything Sixers Celtics is going to be cinema. I cannot wait to see it.

He's going to try to kill fucking Tatum and the boys. Oh, yeah. That was a nasty trade. I want to say that we ain't felt a trade nasty like that in a while, but the Luca trade wasn't too long ago. Yeah, but not straight, not to your, like, your division rival. That's almost disrespectful to us.

When you do that, it's disrespectful. We think you ain't shit. We're going to trade you to a division. We're going right there. I mean, y'all are in the division. Yeah. And now we're a rival. I don't think nobody is viewing y'all like a rival.

We are better than the Celtics right now. And we won the Bronel from being the best team in the East. Please, please, please. The game is not played on paper. Oh. The name is not played on paper. You do not know that you better than the second seed Celtics. You don't know that.

We just beat them. We just set them home. Are you high? We just beat them in the playoffs, put them out, and now we took their best player. How are we not better? Well, they were injured, and that's not their best player. He was the best player in the playoffs. Yes, this year.

Yes. I think it's fair to say if you beat the team, you're better than them. Fair? Yes. So we just beat them out of playoffs. Beat them at full strength. Beat them at full strength. We just took.

Like we did last year. We just took. You know what? Ask Huckporty. As Huckporty. He's been there a little while. He can't explain to you. I hate him.

This is going to feel so much better with you. I can't wait. I can't wait. You can get this back 10. You can't wait. You've been waiting since 1983. Oh, my God. He was waiting for 183?

It's been a while, right? Was it 82 or 83? Was that Moses Malone in them? Who was on that team? Was that, what's my other man? The big Ralph? No. There's no Ralph.

No, there's no Ralph. Ralph Sanson? No, that's Houston. That's Houston. That's you. Who the fuck was on that? It was Maurice Cheeks, Andrew Tony, Dr. J, Moses Malone, yeah. You mean Maurice Cheeks is with the Knicks now, so I won't disrespect him.

O.G. Hall of Fame point guard, yeah. Hall of Fame Championship assistant coach now. I think he probably is more important being a championship assistant coach. Starting point guard for championship team. Starting point guard assistant coach, you know what I'm saying? Tomato, you know. Don't worry.

Y'all, y'all can wait. It's fine. Man. Yeah, you know what's funny, y'all niggins sound like the Magic fans last season when they got Bain and they was talking to me crazy. I ain't going to sports niggas. We don't sound like that. No, we don't.

No, they. I'm just talking about the talk. I'm just only talking about fans. The magic fans thought that, oh, you're all better look out when the next season. Don't we got Palo? And Bain? Brown is not.

Brown is not the same. We not, all right, well, we're not scared of Brown. Maybe that shit flies with somebody else. You scared if we get Brown? We're not, that should be a little worse. Yeah, I'm not going to sit here in life. I appreciate the honesty. I tweeted yesterday.

How much money the Sixers got left? Enough. Enough. Enough, enough. We don't know. I can deal with, because some of them shit, we y'all got, uh, Dean Wade. Like, it's enough, enough now.

Y'all got too. Yeah, yeah, y'all got too many niggas. Uh, what else is happening? It's apology time. Oh, shit, yep. Nah, on gang. Thank you. Y'all owe me and Mark an apology.

Oh, this son of a bitch. No, honestly, I can't lie. You are a piece of shit. No, I can't tell a lie. Y'all owe me and Mark an apology. We tried to tell y'all when it came to Levar Ball. Don't know. trust the first person that runs to the airwaves to say they side of the story.

Sometimes there's more to be revealed. But no, y'all ran with the narrative. Parks, I sent you the clip because I don't trust him. She had a stroke and he was there for her. And then the second he'd get his leg amputated. She's not there for him. Y'all got to get off the internet, yo. So if y'all remember.

On God. And I was there too because he was, you know, he was co-signing your bullshit. Last week when LeVar Ball came out and said That his wife left him and all this shit And y'all was all capable of LeVar Ball And I said hey there might be another side to this Flip was on my ass Ice was on my ass

And Joe, yes you sir And Joe was the main one talking about Mark just run to defend Anyone no matter what happened Which is still a fact You know I wasn't That's still a fact Mark is a bitch But he's right

I was correct And here's a bitch No he's a feminist but that's separate for what I'm saying He's a bitch Here's the thing. He's not. I already knew the story. I already knew what happened with LeVar Ball.

Yeah, I just wasn't going to. It's not my business to tell, so I said, I'm just going to throw out. And I told you that off camera. He treated that white woman like a slave, and he didn't help her when she was sick. Her family helped her when she was sick. That's bullshit. I have no comment on that. That's not my business.

But what I will say is, that's the point. Just because somebody run out first and say some shit, don't make it true. Don't make it not true. But it don't make it true. And all y'all talked, all that shit to me made it sound like, I was pulling this shit out my ass, and then short enough, the son, Lanzo Ball, comes out and says this. Who's trustworthy, right? I don't know that there's been the uproar about the situation.

I'm going to touch on it briefly. First and foremost, I want to say, I love both my parents. But the situation that is put before if y'all is not how it went down. I'm not about to get into all the details. A long story short, my mom didn't want to leave. She was, quote, unquote, quote, damn they're forced to leave. I helped her leave. I'm glad she-

Shut your mama's boy ass up, nigga. Put her up nice. Pops is good. They obviously don't fuck with each other. They obviously don't fuck with each other. I fuck with them both and she was not wrong at all. She did not leave him because he left his, because he lost his foot. That's a myth that was put out there.

What else have I seen? I don't know. But my dad did a great job raising us. My mom did a great job raising us. They didn't work out and it is what it is, man. They both doing well and I love them both. And this is how, well said, Duke. This is how I know, like, I don't need activist Mark here to let me know that I'm misogynistic.

For a real, I don't. This is how I know. I don't know what LeVar did, but insert some stuff. Like make up whatever we think he did. He was cheating. He had a secret affair. He had a new family on the other side of the town. Like, just put anything in there down there, except for like abuse.

Right. But if you're letting one-legged nigga abuse you. Wait a second now. Kicking someone out when you only got one for you. Can I say something? Wait, hey, if you can't hop away, if you can't run from the nigga hopping after you,

then... Get your ass on here. Get your ass on here. Get your ass on here. Also... So I don't think it was dope you. I'm sorry, ma'am. Let me just get it down.

So what I'm saying, anything that you put in there, I still feel like she should have left. I still feel like she shouldn't have left. Oh, you're cheated. Listen, you was on your ass, and I maintained you and my other bitches. I nursed you back to Elf, and my other bitches didn't bat a eye.

The determination, the willpower that goes into that. And now here you go now. The second I get my leg cut off and have bitches, now you out. Why are you all these? Now, now Lonzo. Do Lonzo have a job? No.

Do we have an NBA team? Motherfuck is he talking about? Now we got to hear from him about family matters. He's a podcast. First of all, at what at what point do you mean? This really were different than I thought. At what point do you do not get sympathy for fucking getting your foot every tainted with diabetes.

It's like, come on what are you know what I mean? It's that. It's skipping of a donut of a coffee or whatever. You know what I mean? Like, come on. I don't feel bad if you lost your foot after 50 years with diabetes. That's crazy. It's saying fuck my, it's saying fuck what's going on.

That's the truth. You cannot. That whole thing was a spin. That's why I used it that way. Okay? The foot? It's a good spin. Listen, it's a great spin.

It's a wonderful spin. In reality, in reality, come on. Come on what. Get your foot amputated after having diabetes for a thousand billion years. Stop it, guys. It's a scam. And we've seen a bunch of times where this bitch hey shit when really she held the day or she was treated like a fucking slave. Well, I don't know that.

I said, y'all might know that. I'm saying, we've seen a bunch of times where one kid is just closer to this parent. and just believe what they said and ran it. We all know. He helped her move out like a bitch. Or. Ice. Like he loves his mother.

Exactly. Like, everybody in here would do. Them kids have reported how. But I don't mean I know what happened. I'm going to tell you all what happened. I'm just saying, I don't mean I know what happened. Well, you really know what happened. Yes, that's the whole point last time.

Well, they cut this off at all. Cut this off. Stop. No, no. Hey, more now that we know. Hey, get the fuck out of here with that shit. You all are terrible people. Every single one of you are.

Now that we know, I'm more on his side. Facts. Are you kidding me? That's sad. Oh, please. You're lucky he ain't had his cane buying. He was able to escape. Moms ain't give him his own sneakers.

Those kids have said how mean that he was to them when he were little. Joe Jackson was mean. Hey, Steve Jobs' employee said the same thing. Look at Apple today. Sometimes you got to be mean to get him to start him. I'm only saying that to say that it wasn't this picture perfect thing over there. He was treating that lady, bro. We knew it wasn't picture perfect when he went on of.

and said he could beat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one. We knew he had a... We knew that he was awful, but who cares? He sent three kids to the NBA. One of them stayed. One of got a rap career. One of them got a record deal with Def Jam. And two got big money.

I ain't affirmed. Women put too much focus on the cheating. You know how much shit that nigger was dealing with? You know how much diabetes, raising these kids. One of them brought some crash out to the crib to try to take. the old family's money had to deal with that. Like, the thing I had to deal with a lot of shit. Here you come now, want to take me off my dean

to focus on my secret family. No, Ma, you can't do that. This is terrible. My secret family was a secret. You are terrible. My kids don't even get to the league. Yeah, word. I held it down with the secret family.

My secret family love me with one leg. Here you go complaining and out. They say secret family. I ain't never say secret family. Right. I said it. Okay. That ain't enough.

That ain't enough for me. Secret Family, now you leave it. Oh, she's elated. That she's been released from the grips of that. But he did some ill shit to make, that forced her hand at the end. Do you want to cry? Do you want to cry in the garden or the Y? He's got more tea.

He didn't include this tea. Because y'all cut me off. Shut the fuck out. Let's go back. His first tea was trash. Yeah. I was telling you in chronological order. I was telling you on order.

Oh, there's more. You don't fuck y'all. No, no. Let's move on. I'll always listen. I know. You do. I'll tell you later.

I'll tell you later. Anyway, but yes, fuck y'all. y'all, y'all owe me an apology. Next time, trust me when I say this more to the story. Y'all owe me and Mark an apology for rushing the judgment. That was an answer. I told y'all on shady asses don't believe everything you hear. Never can.

That was the appetizing. Lanzo Ball. When the fuck we start listening to Lonzo Ball about anything? No. About anything. It seems like a reasonable thing to start with, though. He got Lonzo Ball drafted number two to the Lakers. He said, I love my dad.

He ain't mad at his dad. He just knows his dad. He knows his dad. He got Lonzo Ball drafted. drafting in front of Luca. The fuck are we talking about? His job is, he should get to fuck a couple of bitches. He should get to have a couple families.

You see what that son did when he got that girl Nikki pregnant and left and went to the other one? You'd be leading the children the wrong way. Probably listening to too much rap music. Yep. Spend that. Spend that did it. Don't spend that shit. Fuck all parts.

Y'all are terrible. Oh, my God. That's the fact, y'all are terrible. That part. We got that down. This is a fucking classic. This is a Bob. And he's talking about scamming, too.

I love this song. Swiping cards and stacking chips. I absolutely love, now. I know about a happy dark tank. My pocket's getting thicker. The watch is moving quicker. My knee talk is much louder now, but I can't sleep through the night. Can't sleep through the night.

Still see her face in the glass. Hey. Why does she call when me? you short on cash, can't sleep through the night. I'm losing my mind tonight. Bank rolls on the table. Watching local cable. That shit is hard, but I like anything from the 80s.

Anybody that make a song that's sounding like is from the 80s, I'm buying it. Is it true how they say he made it? Is that really true? Was it? Yeah. He puts some 80s vibe. Because I checked them out.

He had like a lot. trap music and that type of shit. Oh, I didn't buy his other slaps. He did good with this one. He prompted good. I bought this one. I'm just saying it's so different from the other stuff. He's Tommy Richmond to me.

Oh, man. It's way better than Tommy Richmond. Don't do that. Hey, where that Tommy Richmond out? Leave him there. Hey, Tommy Richmond. All right, fine. Yeah, leave him there.

And Jack Harlow. Sometimes I think about the bad albums that came out. I wonder what them niggas is doing. Fuck is Jack Harlow on right now. Somewhere in that hat. Yeah. That next album, don't do that. Don't do that.

Don't come out with that black music dressed like Sean Wayne is again. He ain't doing that shit no more. He ain't doing that shit no more. That shit ain't work. That nigga looked like he got dressed from a wardrobe from Love Jones. And I just know he was fucking a black girl

that endorsed that shirt. That's what got him dressing like that. That crystal using waist bead wear bitch and that thing wrong way. I would have rather had a dick in a bus down and some big sneaks. That's where I would have took him. Because he would have blended in a little bit.

Now you got this nigga. walking out here looking like Leangelo? He looked crazy. Yeah, he ain't giving common. And he looked crazy. He's too light skin for that comment, Bobby. He couldn't pull that off. Speaking of big sneaks.

Random question. How much money y'all think that that Dick Alexander McQueen sneaker made when they had this run? Oh, my God. Like, if you had to guess, how much money you think that that sneaker made for Alexander McQueen? The Blentiaga had to Lisa Alexander McQueen.

Which one had a bigger? They were both. Because the Blentziagas was went crazy during that three money era. I was about to say. I think the Blentziah I had her area Those are PPPs.

Which Belantiaga you're talking about? The big chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky one? That's that came out 20-20-month. I thought you're talking about the sock one. I thought you're talking about the sock. Not the sock. The chunky one. The chunky one is standing in the same room as that McQueen.

The sock. The sock's a prom sneaked. Remember? That's the prime baby shower sneak too. The McQueen. Yeah. So, yeah. The McQueen had to make the same thing.

The McQueen was damn in like a Timberlin. You just wouldn't ask you with A kid. Sidebar. Guys, Max Bee got caught in Harlem with someone. They wore his ass out. They wore his old ass out. Then he had his sweater tattered his neck. I saw it. Oh, he put his Sunday best on with the McQueen. They drag that bitch.

Everybody, that's only, you know, he's fresh out of jail. That's going to happen. Oh, Mark, last part you asked me who was cool. Yeah. Babyface is cool. Okay. Yes. Yes. We were talking more rap. I know. But now I just keep thinking the motherfuckers

that's cool. He's effortlessly. Babyface is the opinion. Let me tell you, cool baby faces. Babyface went to go do the Cadillac Chronicles. I watched it. He killed it. I love that show. Ellie Reid back on the drum machine. Knock it off. It was like, damn. This nigga Babyface is in a Cadillac

with the deal. Yes. And The Whispers and John B. singing. You hear this shit? Listen to the deal, dude, still trying to steal the show from Babyface too after all these years. Oh, let's go, Babyface.

Hey, these niggins is in a car. They're cooling. Look, Shade, though, like this. Look, Marona. This is live. And I want to be with you. That shit don't make no sense. Look, these liggins got the guitar in the Cadillac.

Hey, nah, dog. Come on. What I wouldn't have gave to be in that Cadillac. They smoked that Cadillac Chronicles. We have never seen Babyface sweat or look weird or crazy. He has all the ones in life. Never. Not a once in life.

He was a chuckle. Even when he gave the ladies, all of them hate these niggas anthems. Yeah. I want to interview Babyface to talk to him about that. The records. The psychology behind being able to make, I hate this nigger anthems, as a man. Yeah.

Him and Neo. That's deep deal. I was just going to be... Yeah. That was the other one. How do you think that? Now, Neo is like child's play to me. Yeah.

He just said to him. Yeah, Neo's like, when you're mad, you look good. Like, what's the... Babyface... Right. Irreplaceable? Yeah, he did the two the left to the left shit.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm talking about... Babyface right. Women's anthems. That's a good point. The discrepancy with that. We don't know.

We don't know how much of what wrote... Got it. Okay. But he's on there. He's on there. But what are some other Neo big breakup joints? I just don't think he belongs in that. Babyface is.

Babyface made people divorce. And I think that's interesting as a dude. Like, love should abort you home. Like, what are you talking about? Why would you say that as a man? Yeah. Love should have been black ass home. He wrote a bow too.

I was trying to think I think he wrote he wrote a bow. He wrote a bow. He wrote a bow. Yeah. That's another. No, bitch is just like Rion. We wasn't breaking up over it. If a bitch went on, broke up with you over, take a bow,

nigga, she did you a favor. You'd been out the door anyway, the song had nothing to do with that. Take a bow. Just happened to come on on the way home. Y'all heard you finally saw obsession, you know. Oh, boy. Because me and Parks have talked about it, we saw it.

I got killed for saying it was trash. So I heard you finally saw it, and I need to know what you think about it. Dog. Let me tell you what I think of a profession. Swacking condoms. Yeah, so I'm in the crib, fucking staring at my family. Which day was this? This is hour 34.

It's hour 34. No, for real. I'm in the crib, so in love. Right? Just stared. at my family. Sure. I said,

I didn't turn on Apple TV. I see it. I get the search. Oh, shit. Hey, movie. I'm a dying to see this. Yo. Yo, I know it's a movie.

And then I just ain't seen on here. You know, it got to be. Please. So I turned on the Apple TV and the first thing that pops up, It's obsession I looked at my baby Hey look

A movie She said hey come on Let's turn it I say hey yes Let's turn it on I ain't even watch a trailer or nothing I just hit play And I felt like obsession made this way

To Apple TV kind of soon I purchased it Available for purchase Yeah It's available for rent later in the month But I purchased it And I still thought that was kind of fast It is

It happens quicker now It's very quick It's not unique to obsession Yeah, like the Michael Jackson movie's out already. I was like, damn. So we press play, and it's early enough in the day to where I'm not falling asleep. So I'm going to watch this.

I'm going to look at this. Sorry to hear that. This is the dumbest movie that I've ever fucking seen. This is one of the worst movie, and I know that my audience is sick of hearing me say something about movies being the worst. But Parks came on in and said that this movie was the worst And I saw some of y'all out there kill him for his take

We did. We trashed this movie. We did. So this is why I'm killing this movie from the rip. Dude, come on and is a loser. Boy, boy. He's a loser. He drops the girl off to her house.

And this is the problem number one, which is the overarching problem with this movie. He bought a little wish thing to make a wish And he wished that the girl would like him However, the girl already liked him Seemingly, yeah What no seemingly about it? Me and my girl had a five-minute fight about it

And she done drop 90 hints. She did it. Hey, she said, hey, do you like my friend? Do you like my friend Nancy or whatever the fuck the girl? Do you like Nancy? He's like, no. The fuck is, nah, just, she's cool. Are you sure?

okay all right you're trying give him to do you want to come in yeah yeah like the night is young

he's like oh no I'm fine he's always you just go but anyway she's like are you sure

that we can't do anything together I'm like oh shit she likes them bro is the worst actor she likes this guy she likes this guy

horrible so then he breaks the thing and now she turns and whatever the fuck she turns into and now this becomes the worst movie in the world for the next hour

and I was 45 minutes in and I was like I thought it was like 10 men I thought it was in the beginning still this shit was a wreck but I stayed long enough to get a good laugh at the end because I got get some good laughs at the end when the psycho bitch came out and bang the friend's head against the steering wheel

yeah bam damn come on dog because by this point the movie's so corny that I'm like fucking Malik Beasley trying to get that rebound and then I'm like give me some give me some so they sitting there talking and shit in the car. I'm like, I tell you, oh, you're about to die. You're about to die. Not y'all.

Yeah, not y'all. That girl came right out, broke the one. A bang, bang, bang, bomb. Then the funny part, it didn't walk to the other side of the car and gave him a hug. Oh, baby, I love you. Oh, this movie is dumb. Oh, the kickback that they went to? That's back.

The kickback that they went to, that was the worst kickback. Everything about this shit was ass. Bro, we've seen too many good movies based off of this, somebody falling in love and and stalked fatal attractions. Like, we've seen this. This was a bad version of... It was. If she wasn't attractive, that movie,

no one would pay any attention to that. Right. Right. But she wasn't attractive as they showed her as like half a skeleton and beat up in blood. And bitch done duct tape the door all, like the bitch. And that was the other thing. Duket of the door was pretty funny. But that's my door.

Like, I asked her, hey, who house, they in. At some point this movie's so bad, I'm like, wait. Is this his crib? Just put the bitch out. Yeah. They never really got into them

just living together now. Bitch, no, you have to go. You got to go. You got to go. She's going to listen. Theoretical. Yeah. That movie was so bad.

That movie was a mess. It was so bad. And had the nerve to be fucking however longer. That movie was absolute atrocious. Whatever. Speaking of love, though, See, we had two people climb the Empire State Building in the name of love.

That's fucking love. That's love. What did the fucking sign say? Some shit about love. Sorry for the duky. By the time I saw it said Joe was part of the month. I think that is the one I saw. That's what I ain't know what the point in for.

Hey, by the time I saw it, the internet changed that sign to say everything else. I saw a cheese. I saw a cheese ad. It was originally the Jimmy Hendrix pool, right? It was. Yeah. The power of love, places the love of power. That's Jimmy Andrews.

That was from Jimmy Andrews. Man, if he wanted to, he will. That was lit. That was beautiful. Who fucking could top that? Who wants to? Word. Some fuckers.

That shit is lit, though. Once I realized it was a proposal, because I'm like, all you stupid-ass, motherfuckers up here. And it's also content, right? And they're fire. Yeah, that one? They get the bailout together.

And they're daredevils, I think. Yeah, they do this. I think they've had a Netflix special. They did. They caught like four charges. They got burglary, trespassing. They got four joints. Yeah.

Is it? Yeah. There's some shit I would never do. You seen that picture she took? With the ring like this? She was right. Make the money back. Damn.

She's going to make that back time to time. You got to go to the moon to town for night. I was crazy just looking at the pictures. Some videos are like, you got to do that. I was just happy it wasn't violent. It wasn't no crazy violent like double suicide. Like, you know, shit is crazy. right now. I was just happy. You got to do that with them slim girls.

It was a positive thing. I get up there with my girls. That fucking little skinny antenna get to waving around. We don't fucking fell down. And then the other thing, if it ain't heard to be me. If I got my arthritis start kicking in my hand, just watching them try to hold on to that thing. Ever since you got skinny, man. So he talked about everybody. It went to his fucking head. Like, it's sick. And at first I was enjoying it. But now it's like, come on. Yeah.

Shadee can't bring you. Earlier he said, you're talking about some dude that was built bad. He'd say he's overweight. Yeah. Oh, he built. The guy had Lowe's, okay. God forbid to me and making $13 an hour and he tired his back curb.

But he's fat, too, cornered your button. Listen, back in my day when I used to work at the Wizz, I was a stock boy. So the salesperson would sell you the item, and then I would come out and help you put it in your vehicle. And hopefully you would tip me. Not at Lowe's. Ain't no stock person.

I told you it wasn't but two. niggas. So the bigger dude that's helping me got to come out and be my, the stock boy too. He got to go get the tape measure. I'm asking him, yo. You struggling?

Can this thing fit in here? He's like, yo, no, we could take the top off and we could do this. And so we had to stand in the heat floor. So I'm watching a fat white in the immense heat. What a good match? No.

Trying to put an AC in the Ferrari and shit. What? Why are you getting this? You don't do shit for yourself. Huh? Why were you doing this for yourself anyway? I wasn't doing it for myself. Why were you a lot of them saying?

No, I'm doing this so my girl could cook. No, we're missing the point. My girl could get on the grill, huh? I'm leaving it alone. What happened? I think what he got out of the house. Yeah. That's all right.

I didn't want to be what I said. I'm like, Joey never told a story where he did a... He said, He said so to go to laws. He must do a lot of laws. He's all in the same place. And what he didn't tell you

and he went to the Home Depot first. first, but they ain't happy. Right. So I had to go to the most. Yo, the funny shit, I'm going to say this and then I'm moving on because fuck you all. But before I leave, because I'm going to get a haircut. So I'm like, all right.

Wait, wait, wait. You went outside? You went to get to the kid. The barber come to your crib, sir. No, I'm two barbers. And this is the time where you need to go out. It's probably going to go out. Did this happen to fall on the sea day?

Nick with the Delaware lows because it's a tax-free. So I'm like, all right, I'll go to Lowe's and then I'll go to the barber and then I'll go to Restorate Your Hallway. I try to. You're not being that. I try to get me like a table. So I go in the living room and sit down. Her son come up to me with the shit, with the, that's, well, she only got one son. So her son come up to me and he say, hey man, I can go with you to get a haircut.

Like when you go. That's dope? I said yes, but I'm not just going to get a haircut. I'm going to Lowe's. Then I'm going to get a haircut. Then I'm going to restoration hardware out. This nigga look at me and I say, you know, I'm down. Anything to get away from these girls.

I'm like, yo. You know, oh, my God, you know. These bitch your fit. These motherfuck. man. What else needs Or it's just Coco Jones. Co-co Jones. Which car did you take to put the shit in, though?

That's my real question. Oh, so. Oh, okay. That makes sense. So, you know, I took my... Oh, that's funny, sorry. All right. So, Coco Jones, friend of the show,

even though she hasn't been to the show. But when I go to Nick's games, when they play the Cavs, Donovan Mitchell, give me a little salute. So she's a friend of the show. Coco Jones went on live to talk about some of the struggles. she's been having as an artist. I thought it was so honest and transparent

and good to hear that I wanted to come in here and play it for you guys to see what y'all thought. But this was just refreshing to me to hear in real time somebody who's by all accounts kind of lit. Right, right. Talk about some of the hurdles that they have in trouble with.

Here she is, Coco Jones. I never came into this game knowing exactly like what I do. Like I knew I could sing my ass off. Like that was pretty clear. That was kind of like the only consistent. But like I didn't really have like a thing. You know, I don't think I really had like a thing.

Personality, sure. Like, relatable. This is so honest. Anyway, I think that is biting me in the ass right now. Like with this album, I feel like the reception that I'm getting out in the world. is like confusion obviously I get that in the inner world it's confusion not specifically about like what I stand for what I'm trying to talk about things of that nature but really more like how does it sound how is it supposed to sound

what is the sound I'm so drained actually I'm so drained of this process of like trying to figure this this shit out this is so dope to me because it is a draining process if you do it is like dang she's almost there it's like oh I is like dang she's almost there it's like almost clicking like what the hell is the almost and why is there always an almost how long is there going to be the almost i feel like we're the final hour of all of this almost shit it either has to click or it's going to be over i'll always be like damn what could have been that it's like dang i'm confused about what the confusion is i thought her uh her sound and brand was kind of traditional

rmb yeah but this new album isn't that i haven't maybe i haven't heard the new album but i i think it's a part that she might not be understanding is i don't think it's a part that she might not be understanding is i don't think a lot of the confusion necessarily is her for the new album. You did the album with Timberlin. No, no, no, not Coco, not Coco Jones. You're taking it to Chloe. Who I owe an apology to, because I called that album trash, but it

wasn't an album. It was a mixtape, and I would never call a mixtape trash. That's for a different purpose. They did the track. That's my mistake. I'm sorry. Yeah, I've never thought that her branding was off, but maybe I haven't heard the new album. I haven't heard her in the one. She's been experimenting with, like, a different

sound? heard it. Trying to find some of the records. Yeah, this is her new album. Actually, that might not be a new album. Let me just see so I can make sure what her new album is. I bought it, whatever it is.

Coco Jones. I think all the shit she's talking about is extremely important for any artists, though. Like, you should figure out what you want to look like, sound like brand, your brand. All right, here's her new album. Yes. And this is from 2024, Coco Jones, Why Not More?

And this is track two, taste. Track three on site. And I didn't bring this up to get this, make this whole, let's play Coco Jones playlist, the music. I just thought what she said was so refreshing to hear because it was so honest and you don't hear artists that honest. Oh, I like the song. And the thing about music, right, like, what do we know about Coco Jones? Not a time. Not a thing.

Not a thing outside of Fresh Front. Prince of Bel Air. Right. Donovan Mitchell. The Disney Channel stuff. And her first big, big, big, big single that fucking took over everything. That's all we know. And I kind of feel like that's part of what she's addressing.

You know what happens? Because like I said, I mixed her up with Chloe. But with Coco Jones, prior to Bel Air and all of that, her going viral with the covers is what introduced people. to her. The downside to that is you're covering songs that are already existing. So it's not you. So like she said, yeah, I could sing, but it's like, if

she had a single that put her on the map right then and there, people would kind of attach to that, all we know a little bit about you. If you're doing cover songs, it's a song we already know. So all you're just showing is you can sing. It's not your words, not your you get what I'm saying? So that makes people

hard to identify with who you are outside of voice. And then when you follow up, covers with your music and it sounds like older woman music. Yeah, okay. There's a younger person with a strong, unique vocal, but the music sounds a lot older. See, what this all actually says to me now that we're talking it through a little bit is the departure of A&R and True Artist Development and Production at a record label, because this model of her is the model of R&B's songstresses that we grew up with from shit.

The 50s, Motown, all that shit through now. Whereas now the artist is more, it's more dependent for them kind of to be their own brand and do their own marketing and have their own shit. That's kind of the model. Labels don't really do as much A&R and production and artist development. You're kind of expected to come in with a fan base. Go get high and then we come in and attach to you.

And expected to come in and know what your brand is. Correct. And that's what it sounds like. She didn't have that part. And now you're, you had the fans. You had followers because, you know, sometimes they just looking at numbers. Yes. But it wasn't a specific brand.

Right. So without that, now we go and the label go grab you. What do we attach to? Also, you bring up the point about these A&Rs and, and, and development, right? I'm going to, I'm going to include in that, I'm going to include producers. And songwriters, for sure. Both. She needs a producer, someone to come in and produce her.

Yes. Not just give a song, not just a song reference or just a hot beat. You, not just the song we're creating. You need production from somebody that knows how to do that. And that isn't just sitting down and just kind of kicking it with you for a while, knowing who you are as a person, what's important to you, what you like, what you don't like. and life and musically all of that kind of part.

It is. But not if you are not telling that producer what those things are. Like she said, I don't have a problem with knowing who I am as far as my character and my morals and my principles. But when we get into the song,

there's something that's not connecting for me. Sit with somebody and speak to them. Who gives a fuck too? Yeah. About your likes, your dislikes, where you want to go, your first breakup, your happiness, in your relationship.

You just need to give somebody a full download that knows how to produce. If she did that with Jermaine DePri, he wouldn't let you come back with whatever you had before. And I don't say

put Coco Jones with Jomey Dupree. I'd say get her with like, like, K-1. Okay. Okay. Some of the younger girls with a younger sound,

not just in the beat but the vocals. Go get, with a fucking money long go get with people that can listen to you hear you and then go put it in a song in a way that will connect with the people that you look and to connect to it sound like she just with the song just with some people that's bringing in songs yeah she got producers on here like stargates on your cardiac out there's a bunch of people that we love on this album yeah but that's see that that says to me that there's money behind her yes that was that don't say to me

that those people are tasked with producing her. It sounds like they got songs from songwriting camps, essentially. She can sing. We'll go get the song. We'll go get the beat over here. Give it to you. Or even if you write some of yourself,

but it's not, like Joe was saying, somebody's sitting down figuring out who you are and let's put that out there. And some of this goes back to analytic shit. You know what I'm saying? The label's probably like, this songwriter wrote XYZ and they sold XYZ copies.

This is the producer that did it to XYZ and XYZ. And if we put it, with you and get this mixer, then it'll be a successful product as opposed to like building real rapport. And the other thing is found out what she wants. Like what is what is success to her mean? That too. Like what are you here for? What are you trying to get? Because the label's idea of success in yours can be two totally different things. Label happy as shit because you did this right here. You like, yeah, my music's not connected. Right. See like this was her single and it worked. But this is an older sounding bob. Which I think it's okay by the way.

Like, I think you could do the older Bob. Man, get this shit to Baby Rose. But it worked. But the problem is... You just got to, she's got to lean into that, though. This is the problem. And I used to always say this when, like, I used to have fights with my production company about the record they wanted me to do

versus whatever record I wanted to do. Right. And they would be like, Joe, just give it a shot. Just give it a shot. Give this record a shot. And I'm like, it's not as simple as just giving it a shot. because what if it works? Right.

Yeah. Then, I'm stuck to that now. I don't have an audience for who I am. Right. I don't have an audience for what I want to do and I won't get one. They don't even know the type of song I want to make because this one worked.

It worked. And if this one worked, I can't come back right behind it and be me. Because now when one works, we are now in the business of getting shit got to work. Now that also does get really complicated. because sometimes artists can be a little too closed off to ideas and pigeonholed where maybe they're like, I don't like guitars in the beat or something. It's like that has nothing to do with the beat.

You know what I'm saying? Like you have to be open-minded, but you also have to, you're right and not pigeonholing yourself into something that you can't deliver over and over again because you don't really like it. But you also have to be open to having producers steer you. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's a really delicate balance. Yeah. And the thing is, you can like some shit that's not you, right?

Like, I'm not saying, like, she might have liked this record. But now when I listen to what she's saying, I just don't know if this record was authentic to her. I don't know how many relationships you've been in. How many breakups you've been in? How many, like, this record sound like somebody, a lady that has been put through the relationship gamut. Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm. So, I don't know. I think a really important part of artistry is being true to self, which I guess comes easy when you know what that means. Yeah. If I'm Coco Jones or anybody, any other, artists out there struggling with that. Before you need to be heard,

before you start putting records out and mix, A's or EPs, go figure that out first. Or be willing to be a character. Because that's another option, too. There's plenty of artists that just, hey, I'm whoever, Billy Eilish, the human being, but when I'm Billy Eilish, the singer,

I'm making weird, dark music about whatever. Right. Or whoever you may be. Like, it may not be, they don't necessarily have to coexist. Yeah. Everything doesn't have to be autobiographical. Yeah, that's probably just, is not going to go for her. Because her voice, there's so much texture to her voice that her team

or the people behind her have to figure out the story that her instrument is already telling, which is probably why they keep trying to give her these older lady songs. Because her voice has this field to it where it seems like that's the story it should be telling. And we don't necessarily know that. That might not be her story.

Coco Jones, we love you up here. We do. We absolutely love you. I love you up here. I'm gonna play, I'm gonna play this fucking swath matchup of yours that I love because this is the vibe that you should be on. Oh, it will happen.

She went viral singing in the brain last year, remember? It started raining her live performance. That bitch, it's like a music video. It's a bad bitch. I'm curious what the songs that she was covering were that kind of blew her up in the first place. Were they older sounding or were they younger sounding? Because that might have something to do with it too.

Maybe she was always attracted to older soul kind of shit yeah but does that mean that's what you should produce no maybe but maybe not I wish you're the best I think she'll get it together too I think so immensely talented she's too talented

hey let me stop because I'll get the fucking gyrating and shit that's my song I love this song pause for jirate she did um she did pick up your feelings damage go crazy back to sleep Best part, Heartbreak Anniversary.

Can we talk, prototype, leave the door open, get you. Hmm. Yeah. Those are her. Again, how do I see what you are? If, you know what I mean?

Yeah. And if people became fans of this, they don't know you. Right. It's not like all those things have a common thread. Exactly. They're all over the place.

So that's what makes it makes it harder. Yeah. Um, what else? What else? What else? What else is going on? out there. Godfather of Harlem.

Two-hour series finale I have completely forgotten about that show. Well, because they shoot every other four years. Oh, okay. That's why. So, the new season started? No, the season is over.

It was all types of complications. Remember they came? You said two-hour series finale? Yes, the series is essentially over. However, Paramount or MGM, whatever. In one plus. It is MGM.

MGM purchased one more episode to wrap up the entire series. Oh, I like that. I like it too. I think it's a great idea. I think more of it should do it. It's a movie. I mean, yeah, you can call it. You could call it that.

Oh, yeah, I like that. The two-hour movie is the series finale. Fire. No word of when that is coming, but I just think that's a dope idea. Very fire. End it. Get it out the way. Yep.

And we ain't got to drag it out. Give it to you in one clip. And that'd be the end of it. I will find you shit. It's pretty fire, by the way. I started it. I'm gonna lock in. It's good so far.

Yeah, it's good. I'll be cutting it on and then doing shit and not paying attention to the next scene. I got to stop it. I got some heavy hitters in that motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah, I'm on episode three and it's good. You're in there. You're locked in.

You know, it's really good. Yeah. I'll finish it. Yeah. I'll finish it. Let's see. What else? What else?

What else? I'm kind of shaking and shocked. Why, Mark? What's up? Taylor Swift? No, we'll get to the, as a Swifty, that's a whole other thing. Got it. But, Lo Wayne didn't show up to his first tour date.

Oh, man. If there was just some way to... Did you have tickets? Oh, yeah. You were going to Maine? That's where you've seen my shows. That one threw me. That one threw me.

Why? Maine. Oh. I'm not enough that it gets Maine, but it's like... If you go to no show somewhere, that's probably the place to do it. You're going to no show in Mass Square Garden. No, you're not going to do that. He's on tour, Carter...

Classics, I think the name of the tour is. It's him, two chains and game. Oh, shit. But there's gaming, two chains are splitting dates. Got it, okay. But, yeah, they just announced after like 11-something. He's not coming. Day.

What? On the first night of your tour, that's what's crazy to me. Like, you do that on night one. And it's also after a string, and I love Lou Wayne. Huge Lou Wayne fan. It's just, there's been this wave of, like, I'm being wrongfully treated in the I don't get the big events. I don't get the Super Bowl.

I don't get the this. I don't get the awards. I don't get the credit. And a lot of the people who said, we love you, but dot, dot, dot, dot. This was the dot, dot, dot. Yeah. It was the shit like this.

No, we heard shit about the Grammys where it was like, yo, you don't show up for rehearsal. And, you know, it's just like we can't really depend. Can't bank on you, bro. Yeah. Can't bank on you. Yeah. I give you all 10 more seconds before I come in with a cape for Wayne.

Really? Is it the cape that you left in the closet for Joe? Jay Electronica. Mark, I'm never caping for Jay Electronica. Well, you should. And the funny shit about the way shit is you missed that show, but you showed up the next night at the white party at Michael Rubens. Yes.

What? That's awkward. We're not missing the White Party now. Some talents people in that room. There were. I saw a lot of networking. For sure. A lot of network.

Dog, niggas cancel concerts every day. They cancel shows. We're talking about your, your, You're on, this is like a 30 city tour. People cancel shows when they're on tour, freeze. No, they do that. A lot. Ticket sales, you know, they do all that type of shit.

Yeah, somebody might have came to him. It was like, first of all, you said, I'm shocked that Maine was the first one. Yeah. Not me. Me either, yeah. Really? Yeah. Routing-wise, you got to sweep the country on some level. Of course, but.

So you start there and move your way down. Maine is, I don't know what kind of Wayne market there is out there, but. I'm sure Wayne has some. Logistically, it would make sense to... You're not going to start in the middle of Chicago or something. But, Joe, in all serious, you did say just a couple of weeks ago how unprofessional it was and fucked up it is to just ghost. It's not that he's not that he canceled. People cancel.

Life happens. They issue something ahead of time. Yeah, you issue something. You go on Instagram even and say, hey, sorry. And they just make up anything. I got a party to get to the war. Unforeseen circumstances. Right.

Something. But I'm not against someone not handling that. the right way once. Like now if this is a repeated behavior for Wayne on tour I'm gonna come in here and kill him. My point with Jay Electronica wasn't that it happened once.

Who can't, shit happens. A point is that now it looks like there's a pattern and there's a behavior that you're ignoring and now you jamming people up if you did that for the last five cities and now like that's starting to become a thing. But I'm not mad at Wayne missing one.

Like somebody might have came in a yo, the ticket sales ain't where we wanted to be. be and on the low on the low on the low don't tell anybody that these talks happen but they'd be like it's main like that was said yeah that was said yo we can miss one main we'll jump back in and we'll be that much like if you're going to miss one may it would probably be the one would miss if I was on thing but I just hate for the fans and people are literally saying I drove six hours to see this well he immediately announced the makeup date okay like immediately it didn't linger he's that hey I'm making this date up July 28th or whatever the date is and like

the white party was the next day but he booked this main shit most of them white party niggers flew there on the private jet or the helicopter anyway he could have got here like he could have made it there I'm not going to correlate one with the other no no no I'm not I wasn't saying you skip

that's just coincidence that's just when a coincidence line up you with ooh I wasn't saying canceling the main or the party I'm saying so the injury yes that's what I'm saying no that's God being good because that was a fan I know you ain't sick no that's all right that's a lot being great that cape is silk made out of

you know it's It's good care. I'm saying that is Allah's greatness. Main is canceled. And I got this fanatics party the next day. It's about to be late. I'm going. Sound like a weekend to me.

Here come to the internet. Want to kill motherfuckers for no. They ain't that'd be bored, yo. Move. You niggas wasn't going to Maine anyway. I was driving. No, you wasn't. You was not.

That's your fault for driving in Wayne, Joe. That's fair Is it far away? The end of the month It's the end of the month It's the end of the month It ain't that bad I'll catch him in September

Yeah July 28th Yeah Listen fucking up I'll keep seeing people say that Usher and Chris Brown She's four hours I ain't got down to it I don't

I'll let you know That's a bid I'll be I'll be in the last record When the fireworks is going on I would I love Kenrick scissors show was too long for me

Now it was a little cold too. It was chilly. Yeah, that added added us another layer of difficulty, but in general, like a long-ass show, like about the end, I don't care how much I love the song, how much I love the artist.

Like, hour three, I'm looking at my watch. I'm cool. I'm in that motherfucker. I'll be right there. Also, speaking of Chris Brown, he was, the verdict is in. He's hit with a $13 million verdict

in his housekeeper dog attack trial. This is his housekeeper, was mauled by a 200 pound dog while working at the Stars California home in 2020. The funny shit about that is... You're lucky you ain't had no money when Brooklyn was around, boy. They tried it. I bet they did.

No, they tried. They sued. I didn't know that. I got sued. Sin wanted to bring a nail tech to the house that she didn't know. That's a trend with these girls on Instagram. Hey, if there's a nail tank around and somebody knows how to do a FaceBe, please. Come to my home with me, my man, my kids.

everybody is. Come here. Yo, bitch just never needed the internet. But anyway, she says, yo, I need a nail tech. Nail tech comes over. Big ass dog. We tell us, stay away from dogs.

Stay away from dogs. They never listen. That's what Chris Brown was saying in that case. You go right by the dog. The dog snaps at you. And now she tried to get, what you try to get like 20 grand from me. I think we knock it down to

4 or 3,500 or something like that. I didn't know that. Oh, shit. Yeah. But now Chris Brown, the line that he went into the trial with, from what I read, nobody on the jury gave a fuck about what he

was talking about. He was like, yo, he's not my, he said, these are not my dogs. These are the securities dogs. My security that stands outside and we be having stalkers and shit. So the dogs are here to protect against, but they're not mine. Like the dogs are like Russian guard dog types.

Yeah. But he said, and they also did tell the housekeepers do not go outside without security. Right. Because the dogs is out there and they're gonna jump on your ass and they're guard dogs Yeah, and you're not from here Damn, but you still hold 13 million Did she get hurt real bad? Yeah, yeah, okay

Got it. Problem one. With swimming in the swamp. Oh, problem two. A few. And not a swamp. some lake where all of the alligators are. They said 20 seconds, a few minutes earlier,

they were just making jokes about being on lookout for the air bubbles. And they were walking. They were able to stand in this when this alligator jumped up and clamped on the Shorty Dewa. And do what alligators do. Right. Every time they're in that, get the opportunity, they do that. Which led to my baby asking me if I think that alligators are in the Hudson. No, they're not.

No. Listen to humans I don't know I don't know that It's the climate Because they shouldn't be there Right It's climate

That's the same thing I said At first They're not in there Not a one It should be It would last very long If there was You never know

They're cold blood They would die in the wintertime Very quickly So there could be one That someone released today That would last through August maybe But probably not A shark or some shit will probably eat it

Hmm But we do think that there's something Under there that And I'm not getting there This pollution It's shit Yeah Water and you tell your friend

Hey watch out for the air bubbles And they go You bet Right Like what the fuck is wrong I'm not getting no pond in Florida At Floridian At Floridian is so used to seeing

An alligator cool But you still know you can't beat this nigga Right Well them shit They just come up off the Like motherfuckers be having Alligators in their backyard And they pool

That's why out there in Florida They gotta have the tits over the backyards and shit. That's what the other got to catch me at in my yard, baby. I ain't going to walk in the swan. You can't walk out there by that water? I was giving so many props to the boyfriend because, wow, you've seen the alligator attacking your queen and you went to help.

You're great, boy. Yeah, you did. You did, that's a real one. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, alligator? Damn. The thing is you got, you're not open in his mouth. Because no child she'd afford to lose both parents in the same instant.

Not to me. Who can do the funeral stuff if we both go? Somebody. Like, they don't know that you don't want to wear both a house. The only ill part is if you don't help and they survive. Oh. Because now you. No, no, I prayed.

No luck on that. The power of prayer. I prayed. That's why you survived. I held it down. You're welcome. Yeah, that was me and my God. You got you.

No, speaking of, you didn't even tell us how it went your beach day with the family? We? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I saw that. It was amazing. Oh, yeah. We was.

What was in the, that shit? Yeah, because they searched the coolers and shit. You can't take bottles. Guys, ice went to the beach with his girl and his daughter's mom for the people that weren't here and have no idea what we're talking about. Oh, and the kids. And all the kids. Some point of the kids.

Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes. Here you go. No, it went great. We had a great time. You know, they, like I told you all, we all one unit. They get along great

So they I love the way you blend You've managed to blend this There's no Nothing Like everything was fine I couldn't have had a better day We went

We all went out to dinner We kicked it It just All right But tell me some of the funny stuff To happen It really wasn't nothing Bro

I promise you It was just a regular day We just hung out So you You your baby mom And your girl Are on the beach With liquor

And nothing funny happened No All right Well tell me about some of the almost funny things that could happen. I get it but I promise y'all, it's not what y'all

are thinking. It was just a regular, everybody just chilling and had a good time. Did baby mom bring her nigga or no? No. Okay. Is that welcomed? No. All right, well tell me about some of the that. Wait a minute. That's interesting. Wait. How is that interesting? Did she can't bring a dude? No, she can't bring a dude.

What are they talking about? Well, I'm, you know, go ahead. No. No, she, listen, if she was in. We'll meet you all there? If she wasn't love, you would have a problem with her bringing her guy. If she was in love, I met the dude all that type of situation. You got a vet. No, not a vet. Not a vet.

If she's bedded them. Yes. That's the person she chose. Like I explained to the fellas before when they talk about when people be saying shit like oh, she can't have nobody around my kids, et cetera, et cetera. You can't control that. You have to trust the person that you have a child with and trust their

judgment. Right. Now if something ever goes wrong, that's when you get to step in or whatever but you can't control who's around your child if you're not with the mother. You want to control that? You stay with the mom. But you can get your own with you. Correct.

But again, we're not on none of that. You know, poke my chest out. I'm trying to be, like, it's nothing like that. If she did have a dude that she was in love with, that wouldn't have been our first time meeting. Right. That's all I'm saying. Got it.

So by that point, like, that wasn't her and my girl's first time meeting. Right. So if we're at that point, for sure. But you're not bringing nobody. I'm going to introduce you to. this person. No, that's not... All right, tell me about some of the funny things

you was thinking. Oh, my God. Damn, I'm not you. I wasn't thinking about it. All right, audience, yeah. I'd be trying to fuck this nigga. Hey, hey, listen, I don't know what you want. I don't know what you want.

I don't know what you want. I keep telling y'all I live a regular fucking life. No, you fucking don't. I can't go to the piece of my girlfriend. It's not a regular life shit. It's not a regular life shit. It is if y'all are all mature. It is.

It is regular. All mature. Well, then that's your all then. That ain't me. That's very regular. We are mature. We're all mature. We're all mature. We're planning family trips and shit.

We are all mature. We are all, everybody's on the same page. We got one goal in mind. The kids. And it's the kids. That's beautiful. What time did the kids go to bed? 9.30, 10 o'clock?

Don't stop your love. Something like that. Don't stop your love. Yeah, that's it. Then what happened. Y'all go off for drinks after that? No. Perfect night would have been a threesome.

No, it wouldn't have been a perfect night. Now you're fucking your night. Now you're fucking everything up. No, I know how to get down. My baby, we all, me and my baby jays, it's all cool. We can't. Well, you shouldn't. Got it.

You do the other thing. All right, let me see you, you niggas. Okay, um, um. Stop, me, George. All right, tell me about, huh? There's nothing to squeeze out here. You think? There's nothing there. There's nothing there. There's nothing there.

There's nothing there, bro. I promise you, there's nothing there. It was a great time. We all had a blast. My daughter did ask, can mommy spend the night? She asked her mother, can you spend the night at the house with us? And she was like, girl, you with your day for the next two days. Mommy, I got stuff to do.

And dropped off at home. And that was it. Okay. We've done our best. Boring. Yeah. Sorry. I tell y'all, I'm boring, but y'all, don't believe me.

Even that was enough to make, like, a great bit. But he just dropped it. And he just, uh, hey, at the end, you tell you, y'all. He take the greatest, he takes some shit that could have been Eddie Murphy raw material. and say, even then, but my daughter said, nope, I said, nope, he's with you for the day. I went home, but I'm a great dad.

All right, ladies gentlemen, free. You do positive. We need more positivity. Way to go. We didn't. We did it. Just talked about the music and the Koreanian on the other side of it. He is racking up the interesting points.

All you've missed you're every day out. Some of y'all should grow up. And I'm asking just because of Taylor Swift. Grow up. What are? Isis our Taylor Swift. Yes. She correspond in here.

If you got married. or when you get married, would you invite her? Absolutely. She's 1,000% would be there. Wow. That's powerful. The reason I asked is because Taylor Swift, as y'all know, big, big wedding deal. Sure.

She invited the New York Knicks, starting five. Did you all see this? No. It's in the garden. I love a good Mark segment. Come on. Yeah. Fire.

Go ahead. So I was sitting there thinking, like, did she only do it because it sets a garden? Oh, she's a Knicks fan. Yeah, she's a Knicks fan. She's a Knicks fan. But she don't know them like that. So she invited Mariska Hart Graves.

Like she invited a few of the garden, regularists. Yeah, but I was just thinking like who, inviting people you don't know that well to your wedding is a lot. Because it's probably a friend who didn't get invited, who might be mad as shit that, like, Carl Anthony Towns got invited. Not at the garden. I don't think there's a friend that didn't get invited to Elliswood didn't have a friend.

Where they closed off fucking the entire. You didn't make the cut, she don't. And then just because she saw a couple people pissed off, they went and donated $27 million to some shit. Like, stuff like. Stop playing with the Swiss, yo. Take that. Stop playing.

I'm a Swifty on the low. Where are you? For sure. 100%. Taylor is the only musician, brave enough and powerful enough, with the leverage to say what need to be said against these fucking streamers,

these Spotify. Like, she's the only one that utilizes her voice and action happens behind it. I love that. She's the only one tough enough to actually say something against all that Trump shit.

Yeah. She spoke up when nobody did. Like, there's a few areas. The fight she took to the labels and all of that. Like, I fuck, I do. She uses the powerful. She uses a powerful. She used a powerful good.

That's how I feel. Go back and listen to folklore. I think you might like that one. I try. My sister's a Swifty. I tried. I've tried over and over again. I can't do it.

Can't do it. I mean, it's not bad. It's not for me. It's not for you. But who she is and what she represents. She's her. She used a powerful good. Like, I'm like, you know.

Yeah, that's how it seems to me. Now, if she's a total bitch behind the scenes, I haven't heard those stories. But even that, for her to have been around this long and you have not heard one of those stories. Says a lot. That means something to be too. Every tour, they be coming out like the truck drivers

who drive the equipment and like every person who played any part to this tour gets for stupid, super bonus. Like, she just comes off as a real genuine, generous person. I don't know her. I'm so.

But just what I hear and see. That being said, I'm glad I will not be in the city for her marriage. Because I see what. It seems like it's about to be a shit show. Damn, that shit started Friday at 1 o'clock. They shut it down. And it's going all weekend.

Come on, dog. I'm cool. I'm cool. I hope they stay together. That's a lot for that shit not to work out. Tigris. No, it ain't. When you up like that?

No, it's not. It's not a lot. It's a drop in the bucket. I don't mean money. I mean, like, the production of it. She's a production. Everything she does is a production. Travis Kelsey signed whatever he needed to sign.

That's a fact. He signed it. There's no worry if this goes awry. Yeah. He'll be fine. Everything is fine. Listen, you keep your little 12, what do you make, 12 million?

How much? What you do? 14 million. Go buy yourself something nice. You keep your FIFA money? I don't want nothing. You play football? What are you playing?

I'm going to go on to my music. Oh, American football. That's different. Oh. So you don't play football. Right. Oh, okay. Well, that's fine.

I'm glad you keep yourself busy. Glad you're doing something. I'm not really pursuing your passions. What? Passion, price. Oh, man, shout out to Taylor Swift. Hopefully that wedding goes well. Word.

I hope so. Bank rolls on the table. Joe, anybody be surprised did they get a wedding invitation from you? Surprise? Yeah, like she's inviting like the New York Knicks to start. Are there people who like you don't know that well but you're still going to invite? Just to have like a presence there? Me.

Nah. Or Monaco, you got to do a speech. How about you? Oh, for sure. You got to do a speech at your wedding. Or a set. Comedy set. Either one.

Yeah, tomato tomato. Exactly Say yeah I know we're joking around But you don't think I would ever let you Like do it Give a speech somewhere

I mean Honestly It would be a tearjurker And it would be funny And honestly Shaday could make a decision And she would love it Oh yeah

Why does she call when she's short on cash? Can't sleep through the night. No, you heard it? I ain't listening, shot it. You're paying no mind. Three people are trying to give me in trouble. Three people are going to give you a speech at your, or a toast. That is the one that you do get to decide, both of y'all.

Who gives a toast for you? Who's going to be your people? I'm sure your brother. Yeah, I'm about to say my brother. Whoever could show up to City. He should wrap it. No, he better. He wouldn't.

Whoever could show up the city all the fastest. Like I said, what to talk with you back now? We wait. We need a witness. We need a witness. Where are you? Oh, fuck. It's freeze.

It's free. I can't wait to your wedding. That's going to be a great time. I love weddings. Same. We're. It's so fun. What do you love about weddings?

The whole thing, the process, the beginning where you cry, when you watch the part and they tongue each other down and the reception. And it depends on the good ghetto one because, you know, they walk in with the balance, you know, that thing going to jump, you know? I love a real good wedding. Like, that's enjoyable, but I think I love a bad wedding more. Oh, my gosh.

Like a train wreck? Yeah. A ghetto one? Yeah. Oh, my God. Will you all run out of chicken and shit before the party over? I'm talking about the way and where you like these two don't even have no business getting married I don't think it's the couple I just think it's to get on this thing okay that family

don't need to be in the same building as this family is all a train wreck I like to see a good scuffle yeah or at least a near stuff up little dust up nothing just enough just enough yeah somebody need to be taken outside when they say speak if you want to speak your peace right now it's quiet but if somebody make a little rumbling the baby mom or somebody make a little You hear a little furniture moving at that part. I love that. You're a fool if you asked that shit in 2026.

I love weddings where they do stupid shit like dance routines and shit. Oh my God. Yes. No, I'm not doing nothing ahead of shit. If she wants you to dance, you're going to dance. Yeah, you know. Bank head bells down here.

Boy hit shining. I'll be at the bar. We know. Sounds good. It sounds great. He's trying to convince himself. Yeah. He has to say so.

Parks, Park. Bar was lit. It was. Mark's bar was lit, it was. What year did you get married

Park? 2021. Okay. Coming to my life. That pandemic money. Shit.

See you Playboy. Nah, this shit was lit. That probably was probably the best

way and I've been to. Actually, I can do a pod about some of the worst weddings I've been to, but they'd be listening.

That's a problem. That's a problem. You know you. Hey, you were talking about me? One of the couples I really love and support. Are they still together?

Yeah. Oh, that's good there. It was childhood, sweethearts. What made it so bad? It was a destination wedding. Oh, God. And it wasn't so organized. It wasn't so organized.

Never is. Like where they were having the wedding versus where everybody was staying, the shuttles, how they was transporting people, the waiting area while they weren't ready. Like, you was waiting two hours, and then they'd come over here for cocktails while we set up. It was just an absolute... Oh, one of them. Yeah, it was all over the place. Logistics was the problem.

We loved the two people that were doing it, but I was there with my mom judging everything. But it wasn't ghetto, though. No, no, it wasn't ghetto. It was just not organized. I'm going to moan. I like the ghetto shit. I like the ghetto shit. I like the ghetto shit.

The only time is bad is when it's like, it's too hot in there or it's too much of a gap waiting on the food. Like, that's when it gets to like, okay, we're getting up out of here. You know, it got to be just ghetto enough, like, fun to watch, record, group message. But you still get to eat these little piece of steak of fish. You got the cousin over there who can't handle his liquor. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Three weddings I probably had the most fun at just off recent memory was Parks.

Zaire's wedding was absolutely amazing until they started all that fucking frat sororities. All right. You got it. And Safari. Oh. I forgot Safari got married. And Safari. That shit was beautiful. He married Erica.

Oh, Erica Minna. Yeah. That was a real thing. Yeah. Eskimo sister. Anyway. Yeah, no, it was a beautiful way. It was a beautiful way.
