I know you mad about some shit, but stop it.

Speaker 1 Nah, we didn't. They should have them all.
Yo, don't interrupt with the truth. You did? Yeah.
And

Speaker 1 we don't give a fuck about it. And we talking with the lies? Yes.

Speaker 1 And on top of that, you ain't know.

Speaker 1 On top of that, you ain't know he was going to say that. That shit hit you.

Speaker 1 Did you know that you was his greatest gift? No, I thought he was going to say something else. Exactly, nigga.
We know that. Cause we saw you.
Yo, clap it up for Jay Warren to be a JDF. Hello.

Speaker 1 When we said that, the D party shit, though, I expected that. I started dying.
I couldn't help that one. When he said that, Jay Warren, it looked like it was Christmas time for you, nigga.

Speaker 1 You know, when you're a kid and you get that big gift, you just look happy. That shit made me feel good.
That was the big gift. I'm like, yeah, Jay.
Mommy and Ish. I don't know if you guys.

Speaker 1 I know I was the favorite since you the favorite child out of everybody. But I ain't even talking about the kids.
I don't know if you have a greater gift than his rapping ability. Look,

Speaker 1 that's what you would have said. What's your greatest gift? That's what you would have said.
I ain't gonna tell niggas Sunday. No, that's what he would have said.

Speaker 1 Well, no, he's trying to tell y'all, what's your greatest gift? So what's your greatest gift? I mean, my children.

Speaker 1 And when you have kids, you'll understand that this dad answers.

Speaker 1 When I asked my mom who her favorite kid is, she said, you for six months and you for six months yeah my mom's that's just that's the appropriate parent answer but in real life they gotta

Speaker 1 whoever needs my love at that time

Speaker 1 remember he gotta say his children because for Trey listen and Trey has a history of dissing a nigga on record and your pops and he get nicer favorite he get nicer with the patent well that's not fear I started dissing him on record first and his mama that's opposite

Speaker 1 I didn't know that joke so I think that he should be able to clap back

Speaker 1 Because some of my aides be, oh, his son's been dissing him forever. Well, whoa, whoa, my son got the clap back gene in him, like his dad, and I'm proud of that.
Facts. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's fucked up when you're writing those songs about their parent, like when they grow up and get to hear the songs. Yeah, but now you know what's going on now.
Yeah. You know, you're 23.

Speaker 1 You know what time it is. You're in the game.
You're being targeted.

I love when they experience what we're experiencing. Oh, yes.
What?

Speaker 1 that's bad, yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, man,

Speaker 1 why is that bad? Because thanks, ma'am. You give us some game.
I remember that happened to me in my relationship in college.

Speaker 1 I had on pops like on some Trey Joe shit, like, yo, bro, why you didn't tell me shit get like that? Nigga ain't even respond. I said, wow.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool.

Speaker 2 I mean, I feel like there's information and you know that you can pass down to your kids, but then there's other things that they just have to experience,

Speaker 2 you know, bump their heads up on the wall and they ain't gonna listen to you anyway.

Speaker 1 Exactly, that too.

Speaker 1 I want want to ask you, since we told my dad, I'm gonna ask you a question. You love your dad, too, nigga.
Yeah. Who said I did?

Speaker 1 Did you ever have a conversation with your dad? Like, were you one of them niggas that presented? I lived with my father before. Yeah, but as a grown man, you said.

Speaker 1 I live with my father as a grown-up. Yeah, did you have a conversation with him? Like, yo, nigga, what's up? Like, were you one of them niggas that, were you like,

Speaker 1 what happened, what went wrong, or you just left it as it is and you lived in the moment?

Speaker 1 I ain't really go through all that. Because he was.
You didn't do that. You didn't go back.
Oh, you lived in the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like that. That is what it is.
He was short. No, I wasn't.

Speaker 1 But that's not a moment.

Speaker 1 That might be a short moment. But you said that you was 5'1 until you caught your growth spurt.
I was 5'3 in 12th grade. That's very short.
And when I lived with my father, I was grown up.

Speaker 1 That's not tall enough to buck. Who was that high in your graduation picture?

Speaker 1 You think 5'3 is tall enough to bucket your dad for real? Yeah, come on, man.

Speaker 1 She would never touch her. That's why niggas love you.
That's why she's like, that's why she's the best. That's why she can make make a U-turn.
That's why she's the best.

Speaker 1 A lot of women can't U-turn like Mal, unless they, I can't say that part. But

Speaker 1 Mel make U-turns because she holds it down.

Speaker 1 Like when they bump into her, like, oh, you ain't, you ain't blow me up about that cult shit.

Speaker 1 You know, I was wild.

Speaker 1 Even when I pressed the nigga, niggas say, oh, I lost. I love her.

That's the problem. Everybody invites you places, but you don't invite anybody.
It's a pattern.

Speaker 1 That's your bag. That's how you get away with shit.
Y'all was invited. Why you didn't invite me? I'm a plus one.
That shit shit. You missed the plus one.
There you go.

Speaker 1 No, nigga, make me your plus one. All right, I'm gonna go.
You ashamed of us. Make me your plus one.
Ugh. You missed it.

Speaker 1 I got you. And it speaks volumes that people prefer you to be their plus one.
I appreciate that, man.

Speaker 1 I know what you do. You do that stupid lip trick.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You tweet

Speaker 1 on the corset? Yeah, you did that on the corset. Sitting there talking a hole in Mark Lamont in

Speaker 1 this.

Speaker 1 Y'all, y'all had a super broke ass after that.

Speaker 1 I knew I thought of that.

Speaker 1 Y'all were really twitting. They bonded.
That's stupid.

Speaker 1 No, the game was a runaway. It wasn't really close.
So we were just kicking it. Like, the game

Speaker 1 wasn't fun. It wasn't, you know what I'm saying? Because it wasn't close.
They was losing by damn near 20 half the game. You're talking about Philly was losing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you talk about at a game like that? They were pod. Really, basketball shit for the most part.
On the court while a game is going on,

Speaker 1 would you analyze it? Yeah, that's literally what was going on. That nigga not that good.
He overrated. Yo,

Speaker 1 stop talking. Fay in the league is overrated or not that good.
Watch the game, nigga. Catch a vibe.
Courtside, look cool.

Speaker 1 Why are you paying me? I hate him, too. I hate him too.
Nah, just look cool. Nigga, the cameras is about to pan you.
I didn't even know the game was on ESPN or none of that.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that. Superstar-ish.
Did you know it was the season opener?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I didn't know that. I mean, well, Philly Bucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Philly Bucks would be televised, but I wasn't thinking about that. Did you see Stephen A right there? No.
Apple Bucks. I ain't seen him.

Speaker 1 It's cool. Stupid.
Did Stephen A see you? I don't know. Stephen A was there? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm watching you.

Speaker 1 I ain't see your game, nigga. You think I've seen you on my TV? I don't know, nigga.
I've seen you on Reddit.

Speaker 1 I see you on Reddit, nigga.

Speaker 1 See you on my TV. Stay off the internet, y'all.

Speaker 1 See you on Reddit. You're looking good, though.
You look good up there. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 2 I appreciate it. You run into a lot of fans?

Speaker 1 Yeah, a couple.

Speaker 1 A couple. Okay.
Philly is. I didn't know you and Mark was that close.

Speaker 1 It's cool.

Speaker 1 When y'all exchanged numbers?

Speaker 1 When y'all exchanged phone numbers? Yo, dog, what's wrong with you, son? It's a valid question. Why is it valid? Because Joe said it.
That conversation looked deep as hell.

Speaker 1 The only reason we didn't congratulate you when he announced you on a pod was

Speaker 1 it wasn't personal.

Speaker 1 That is what he was saying.

Speaker 1 Some pod shit.

Speaker 1 Yo, nah, stupid. You really are a great help to all of us, bro.
Don't argue with the camera. Don't argue with the community.
They're just going to hate you. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You're going to give them some pod tips while the game is on. The game is playing, bro.

Speaker 1 I didn't know we were on TV. He didn't stay for Patreon, nigga.
So we don't know when the number switches. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to get down to the bottom of this shit.

Speaker 1 That little broman shot going on. I told y'all.

Speaker 1 I told y'all. Oh.

Speaker 1 Mark is here on Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 One day off for everybody. Wednesdays.
Per month. Yeah, well, Tuesdays.
Tuesdays, but

Speaker 1 they pot. That's it.
But nothing to figure out.

Speaker 1 Nothing to figure out. No, I'm good.
Everything is cool. I'm good.

Speaker 1 I got three days off. I'm all.

Speaker 1 I'm fine.

Speaker 1 She don't like that shit.

Speaker 1 Hey, yo.

Speaker 1 Your girl?

Speaker 2 What did I do now?

Speaker 1 You know what you did.

Speaker 2 I swear I don't.

Speaker 1 You texted me, you tried to press me this week. Oh, nigga, I'm done with y'all.

Speaker 1 I'm done with y'all. Gotcha.
No, it's nothing bad. Nothing bad.
Gotcha. Yeah, it's all love.

Speaker 1 All right. No, it's all love.

Speaker 1 And then I went to speak at the Steve Stout

Speaker 1 shit

Speaker 1 the other day that I was shit. Saw you up there.

Speaker 1 Saw you up there shining.

Speaker 1 What do you mean shining?

Speaker 1 Nigga.

Speaker 1 That. The lights was bright.
I bet. We had it all out.

Speaker 1 What? Okay. Like, like titties.

Speaker 1 You know what

Speaker 1 You wore the ring? Yeah. He wore the ring.
He pulled the sleeve so they could see the

Speaker 1 you know, because you know, I got nigga brain. You know, I got my gut.
My gut tells me what to do. You know what I mean? I'm being in these rooms.

Speaker 1 And the money, you know what I'm saying, be all over. I heard your corny joke.

Speaker 1 It'd be all over the place. You know, my gut.
You know, I got a rule with the gut. I come from the nigga

Speaker 1 side of the street. You watching my clips.

Speaker 1 You watching my clip from the galley, nigga. Stupid.

Speaker 1 I had a good time. I don't normally speak at those, on those types of panels and things of that nature, but Steve called his favorite.
We had a good time. That's my man.
I showed up. No doubt.

Speaker 1 Had a good time.

Speaker 1 A lot of people there. Was it just you and Steve on the panel or no? It was just him and I that spoke at that time.
Gotcha. I think he spoke to 50.
I think he spoke to Cam.

Speaker 1 I saw a Cam clip, too, I think. I saw a Cam clip.
I saw a 50 clip.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 and the ride into Brooklyn wasn't so bad. It was an hour, but it was an hour in motion.
You took that seat of group too. We were talking about the party? No.

Speaker 1 It was in Brooklyn. It was at the office.

Speaker 1 It was in Brooklyn. I don't know who's office.
I don't know. I get the address.
I give it to the driver. I go.
But it was no traffic. But it was no traffic.
So that was smooth. Rich dumb of us.

Speaker 1 Stupid us.

Speaker 1 And I went to the black-owned restaurant over here that Mel gave the review on. Which one? On that other part.
I'm not, I won't say, but the one that Mel spoke about.

Speaker 1 That was good.

Speaker 1 And that was cool. Yeah, that that was real nice, too.
Nice. Yeah.
Some paelle. Shit was good.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was that big-ass paelle. Yes.
That shit was huge. Pause.
Yeah, it was good, though. Did you bump into anybody at the Steve's Touch event?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 It was crowded?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a lot of people in there. Gotcha.

Speaker 1 How would I bump into somebody? I don't do communal green rooms.

Speaker 1 I thought you did. I'm sorry.
Those days, never that. Never

Speaker 1 mind. There's a peasantry firm in the room.
Communal green room. I think that's how I got punched in the face.

Speaker 1 Anybody just walk in the door. Hey, there.

Speaker 1 Yo, you had to say it. Yeah, I ain't stupid.

Speaker 1 Communal green room is exactly where they want to come talk about what I said on the pod.

Speaker 1 Never that.

Speaker 1 No, but good times. Shout out to Steve Style, man.
Fun, fun, fun. All right.
Let's get right to it. Let's get right to it.
Where would you guys like to begin? Dirk? Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So we start with Dirk. The Fed snatched Dirk.
Or

Speaker 1 the U.S. Marshals.
Yeah, and snatched. And Broward County.
Dirk. That's Florida, right? Broward.
Broward County. Broward, yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Y'all know any hoes from over there?

Speaker 1 Probably. Y'all definitely know some Broward County homes, for sure.
Possibly. They need a segment on a Patreon.
Shout out to y'all out there.

Speaker 1 In Broward County? Yeah, yeah. Special? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Better than Dade? Different from Dade.

Speaker 1 Different from Dade. What cities are in Broward? It's all Bohemia, I think.

Speaker 1 Oh, is it?

Speaker 1 Wait, ain't that like the south end of it?

Speaker 1 I don't know. It's away.

Speaker 1 That's where Kodak from. It's down.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 Kodak from. So it makes sense.
Just take Kodak exactly.

Speaker 1 This is down. It's down there.

Speaker 1 But anyway, so they snatched him in Florida along with five other people

Speaker 1 that are from Chicago. And this is murder for hire.

Speaker 1 This is sad.

Speaker 1 That's his charge.

Speaker 1 So I guess that's the allegations. Supposedly he organized a hit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, on.

Speaker 1 And they're saying that this goes back to when King Vaughn lost his life. Was killed.
One of Quando Rondo's killed. And then, yeah, Quando Rondo's man died with him in LA

Speaker 1 during that shootout. So the feds are saying that plane tickets and rent of cars or whatever were purchased and rented through OTF cards.

Speaker 1 And they're saying they have more information about

Speaker 1 who paid for this murder fire, but they haven't. released that yet.
All signs are pointing to they're going to try to pin this on dirt.

Speaker 1 That's what I got for you. If that's blurry then Google it.
I'm not here to be a journalist. I'm here to talk about the real aspect of it which is

Speaker 1 just what the fuck. What the fuck?

Speaker 1 I feel like you know with respects to Dirk

Speaker 1 I feel like he knew something was coming because you know during his birthday he paid homage to all the fallen soldiers in Chicago. I mean he's been trying to really change up the image and the whole

Speaker 1 Chicago drill dissing ops. You know, he put everybody on the screen on his birthday.
He did a birthday

Speaker 1 concert in Chicago. And even the people, I mean, everybody was on that picture.
He had the ops up there? Yeah, everybody. Just paying respects to all the fallen soldiers.

Speaker 1 And in retrospect, when I think about it, it's like, I felt like he knew something was coming. And

Speaker 1 he just wanted to distance himself from that. Whether they were investigating, whether he got wind that they were looking into things.
I just think he wanted to move himself

Speaker 1 from that and portray a cleaner image. Or he probably felt that inside.
He probably felt inside that it's time for me to get away from that because too many people are dying.

Speaker 1 Because Dirk been through a lot.

Speaker 1 I'm saying it could be true what you're saying. I think also when you get removed from the jungle, you know what I'm saying? Like

Speaker 1 you lose some of that. And then, you know, when you start getting a certain type of paper, because I'm sure he's far removed from the hustling, hustling days.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 And then you start surrounding yourself with some more positive people. I'm sure some of the OGs talking to them.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 You start seeing that this shit is self-destructive for us as a people. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 So you start trying to pivot away from that and kind of you owe it to yourself to instill some shit in some younger people. You know what I'm saying? So they don't make the same mistakes you made.

Speaker 1 So I think that's where he, like, I've heard him talk a couple times. That's the type of time he was on, supposedly.
He lost a lot of people in his life. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The unfortunate thing is when you're around these people, I've been around him a lot of times.

Speaker 1 He's a nice guy. And sometimes our environment makes us, you know, who we are.
That's true. Right? Our environment and trying to get away from that.

Speaker 1 You'd be surprised how these people who lose so much people and seen so much in their life when you just have a conversation. They're just like you and I.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And sometimes environment, circumstances, and

Speaker 1 the jungle. Just the jungle.
You're in the jungle. Make you who you are.
You're going to be a wolf. You're going to be a lion to survive in the jungle.

Speaker 1 But once you've removed, you might become a, you know what I mean? Just a regular stand-up citizen.

Speaker 1 I think that they might, a lot of us, you know, I'm saying, kids grow up in an inner city like that on some survival instinctive shit. And then when you get removed, you change your tone.

Speaker 1 And it's hard to talk about,

Speaker 1 for me, it's just hard to talk about these things, but it's not hard, even if you have a relationship because you don't know who you're affecting on the other side. So you have to be mindful

Speaker 1 when people have accusations against them and how you speak about them.

Speaker 1 I can speak from personal relationships, but I don't want to take away from anyone who may have suffered or feel that they allegedly suffered from the situation.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm tired of seeing up-and-coming rappers either lose their lives or get incarcerated to shit like this.

Speaker 1 And I'm tired of seeing all the, I saw Jaywan tweeting earlier, and I see people responding to it. And it's like, why does everyone know so much about it? About it.
And that was one thing.

Speaker 1 Like, this should not. Be happening A, and if it is happening, it shouldn't be public information on the internet that everybody's talking about, like Sports Center.
It's fucking weird. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the part of it i don't like like there's no reason we should know so much before the case is even over even with it being public and people making whole videos it makes it like

Speaker 1 it's in the name of content i don't think problems like this should be made in the mid name in the name of content like you feel me like that's almost cop work that's like we we all come from where we come from we see niggas saying yo bro i we ain't talking about that right now you feel me wait till it happened then we talk about it but you got point dexters and nerds on social media just talking about it from a standpoint and then you got people who's who's just looking at it like them throw away the key and some people may feel like that but then it's also looking at it from the standpoint of like he's lost people they've lost people to just think now they got the money forget all about it is like

Speaker 1 It takes the human side out of it. Like, money shit isn't going to make somebody forget about all the friends and family members they lost and no longer grieve.

Speaker 1 You can't tell a person how to grieve just because they got money.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 She on your time, man.

Speaker 1 She's real wild.

Speaker 1 She be outside, nigga. She's feeling like.
I am not outside. I'm just.
I'm just asking what you thought of everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm with the.

Speaker 1 Yeah. She was thinking about Ariana Grande.
I'm not thinking about Ariana Grande.

Speaker 2 I'm not thinking about Ariana Grande. I'm thinking that you guys hit the nail on the head.
Parks' observation and Jaywan's observation is correct.

Speaker 2 Like, the fact that this is fodder for everybody to talk about before all the facts are out, it's just, this isn't, we have created this atmosphere in which content is everything and it really actually isn't because so many of the facts get mixed up in fiction and it just kind of dilutes the whole situation.

Speaker 2 So that's just my point.

Speaker 1 It's by design, though, right? Like we have to acknowledge that. Facts.
It's by design. These drama-filled

Speaker 1 crimes. Hey, Freeze, I'm going to kill you, boy.

Speaker 1 Yo. Hey, Freeze, when you make it to work, I'm going to get you.

Speaker 1 I got a trick for these niggas.

Speaker 1 Now.

Speaker 1 Ooh, those are nice. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So what y'all was saying, we praying for Dirk, and it must be hard to come from from where he comes from. What you say? What y'all was saying? Yeah, all that.
We said all that. Right there.

Speaker 1 Said it's by design.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Next topic. You don't have an opinion?

Speaker 1 I have quite a few opinions, but I don't know if this is the room for them now that I've heard y'all. Maybe y'all are right.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, wait, hold on. No, nigga.

Speaker 1 You can't. Maybe no.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because niggas that say something crazy, it still falls on you.

Speaker 1 I don't think nobody said nothing crazy. I know, I'm just saying.
You might just differ in opinion.

Speaker 1 I'm threatening our niggas to say something crazy. That's what I'm saying.
I'm just bothering them. But I want to hear you.
I think this shit is stupid.

Speaker 1 I think this shit is stupid. And I'm not going to sit here and, oh, Dirk came from where he came from.
He'll have his day. He'll have his day in court.
So

Speaker 1 we'll see what part he has played in any of this. But that to the the side,

Speaker 1 like I was telling Jay Wan earlier, King Vaughn and

Speaker 1 Youngboy Beef wasn't over nothing. It wasn't over absolutely nothing.
So it start there for me.

Speaker 1 I ain't got to get into where everybody came from and what we seen and what we witnessed and who's shot and who got killed.

Speaker 1 Y'all niggas don't be fighting over nothing.

Speaker 1 That was nothing.

Speaker 1 So now for that to escalate to

Speaker 1 the shit we witnessed in the parking lot with Vaughn, and it was going to be carryover from that. We saw Kwando Rondo reach out to fucking,

Speaker 1 what's that, Big U? Big you. We just seen him, we seen him for a few years look afraid for his life.
We seen this all. So, I mean, I don't want to add,

Speaker 1 we know too much.

Speaker 1 These niggas is putting it in songs. These niggas is putting it on Instagram reels.

Speaker 1 These niggas are detailing and laying these things out. And the cops always been online since online been there.
That's true. True.

Speaker 1 They're watching. Like,

Speaker 1 niggas at some point have to hold themselves accountable for the part they play in a designed ecosystem. I agree with that.
That's what I'm saying. So this is real unfortunate.

Speaker 1 And these are some of the same details that came up in the YSL case.

Speaker 1 And these are some of the, listen, the Rico lady down there said, yo, we coming with Ricos now.

Speaker 1 Like, if that didn't send a memo to people, hey, we are aggressively targeting y'all entertainers and rappers that are blurring the lines with your companies and your street ties.

Speaker 1 I'm on the other edge of this.

Speaker 1 Have had it.

Speaker 1 I'm mad I even got to come in here and talk about some of this shit. But the only reason I'm on the other edge of this is because we've seen like from the older artists, right?

Speaker 1 And we've seen and experienced, oh, they not like that. They're not like that.
You feel me? And we always hear this. That artist's not like that.

Speaker 1 they not on that now you see in a generation where artists are actually doing the things they saying and it's like now you have the older artists saying oh them is stupid but for years we heard y'all calling each other out saying oh he ain't on that he ain't like that and there's no guidance there's no yo Don't do it that way.

Speaker 1 Let me show you how to do it.

Speaker 1 The only person who tried to do that is Wallow and he was not even able to give guidance because he's in a position now where he can tell you where everything already already started.

Speaker 1 There was no artist that took none of the younger artists from when they came in and was like, yo, hold on. I've been down that road.
Let me guide you and show you how to switch it around.

Speaker 1 And that's why I have a disname for, I would say, some of the older artists or the people on social media judging how everything's playing out because you got to remember, we all around the same age, at least me and these artists.

Speaker 1 There's no, yo, little bro, this ain't how you do that. Like, you feel me? They wait till it happened and then chastise us.
But a lot of of times the young don't listen anyway

Speaker 1 will listen to an old nigga who's coming from a like where it feels sincere when it don't feel sincere and it feels like you talking at us then you're gonna get in that push so how do you deliver a message if if i'm speaking to you from what i know and my experience and this is the way i know how to convey the message why take it so personal instead of absorbing the knowledge I had niggas do that to me where at a young age, I took it personal until I realized like, nigga, no, he was just, that was the way that he conveyed his message.

Speaker 1 And I should have listened because he ended up, whatever he said end up happening.

Speaker 1 No, I feel I feel like it's two ways to answer that like one it's hard to listen to a nigga who you feel you may have more money or emotion than that's one that's me two and it's how the message is said and the tone in which it's conveyed like it's always like we had this conversation last pod It's the tone in which a person addresses you and brings it to you like I would say from how I've seen it and we've seen different interviews with older artists be like oh these niggas are stupid.

Speaker 1 It's how they say it the only one we really seen come from a place of like it sounds like they cared sincerely was Wallow. And we seen them do that with thug in them and with Dirk in them.

Speaker 1 It's really a matter of how. I don't even like you saying that.
By the time it gets to Wallow, something is wrong.

Speaker 1 No, by the time it got to Wallow, Wallow.

Speaker 1 That's my point.

Speaker 1 We know

Speaker 1 our murdering niggas. Yeah, you coming to Wallow to promote your album.
You're coming to Wallow to do a podcast. It just so happens,

Speaker 1 he's going to give you the

Speaker 1 whole head while you're here on your album rollout.

Speaker 1 That means that this shit that's been in play, the problem has been

Speaker 1 in effect. I don't know what all this shit y'all saying has to do with senseless killing to me.
Like, it's just senseless now. Yeah, I don't think you should need 50 cents to come and see.

Speaker 1 I don't pay people to murder people. Nor do, right? Like,

Speaker 1 oh my God.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 if somebody got to say, yo, don't rent a car in your name and give it to somebody to kill somebody, we pass mentorship. That's true.

Speaker 1 Not just that. We passed mentorship.

Speaker 1 One, and two,

Speaker 1 you're talking about it's hard to respect niggas when you got more money and more emotion. We've had this talk up here before, too.

Speaker 1 What they're doing in the streets today is going off how many bodies you got. So now you're asking, listen to what you're asking for old OGs to do.

Speaker 1 You're asking for us to go and insert ourselves in the fray of of niggas with five, seven, ten,

Speaker 1 fifteen, twenty bodies. Yes.
Who is volunteering to do that? At 18.

Speaker 1 At 19. Who is volunteering to do that? Not I.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I just think

Speaker 1 with Jake,

Speaker 1 I'm not disagreeing with what he's saying because that's happening, but this ain't about hip-hop.

Speaker 1 These people were already in this life prior to becoming rappers, I'm assuming. You get what I'm saying? Like, this ain't about hip-hop.
So, like I said, these are niggas that's in the jungle, bro.

Speaker 1 When you're in the jungle, you're gonna live by jungle rules, and that's what they're doing. So, I don't wanna blame this on no old hip-hop artists and think that they are

Speaker 1 lacking in their ability to, you know what I mean, get a message across to young hip-hop artists. This ain't about hip-hop to me.
This is about inner city shit that's going on all over the country.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not placing the blame on only older artists. I'm saying, like, just in our culture overall, like, you feel me? Like, it's all hip-hop was based on the principle, really off the streets.

Speaker 1 Like, you feel me? Everybody had to be the toughest, the hardest. And then it got to a point where we start seeing niggas really living their raps.

Speaker 1 But there was a lot of niggas back then, real quick, that was doing what they doing. A lot of them is coming home now that was living like that.
It just wasn't on the internet.

Speaker 1 And they did it different. It wasn't braggadocious.

Speaker 1 The rappers pretended to be the guys that they watched do it. Right? They pretended to be that guy.
So they were around that.

Speaker 1 They were around them niggas that was catching 10, 15 bodies, but they were just acting like it was them. And

Speaker 1 we agree with you. Senseless killings and stuff like that, Ben.
What's the next step? We agree.

Speaker 1 You coming from a standpoint to me, like, yo, nigga,

Speaker 1 yo, he gonna have his day in court. It happened.
You niggas put yourself in that position.

Speaker 1 That's how I'm receiving your message. Yo, y'all niggas put yourself in that position.
You should have known better.

Speaker 1 That's how I'm taking your message. So that's why I'm talking on the other side of it.
If you don't mean that, I apologize. You know what I mean? But that's how I'm taking it.

Speaker 1 I see all angles of it. I see all angles.
I agree. I understand what you're saying.
You're not wrong, nigga. Like, nigga, this shit is over-nothing.
This shit is stupid. Niggas got a lot of money.

Speaker 1 You niggas made it out the hood. Why the fuck you niggas is killing each other, shooting each other, senseless killing? I'm with you on that as well.
I'm with you on the shit.

Speaker 1 You're killing a nigga in your backyard. You hopping a plane.
No, but big enough. You boarding a plane to go and shoot in broad daylight by the mall in L.A.

Speaker 1 By the mall. I'm with you.

Speaker 1 Stop, yo. yo at some at some point adults got to start sounding like adults.
I don't want to hear this this teen summit shit y'all talking about

Speaker 1 the same thing when them niggas got the busting right by the Renaissance hotel in LA broad daylight

Speaker 1 broad daylight my same point about Consinat in Union Square on a Friday on a much different note exists here at some no you can't just grab a gun and start shooting in broad daylight with people that don't have nothing to do with y'all beef your anger your hurt, your hood problems, your, I'm a demon, I've seen too much, so now I'm a demon.

Speaker 1 Nigga, then go move that shit somewhere.

Speaker 1 I agree with that.

Speaker 1 And if you're going to do that,

Speaker 1 this gonna even sound bad. Niggas been doing that since the beginning of the time.

Speaker 1 That's the point. In they hoods, in they jungles, niggas is doing that.
You might not do that in these white people's neighborhoods because you're gonna get caught. Niggas give a fuck over here.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying? But not just that. If you got enough money to get a nigga killed, get a nigga killed the right way.
Get the ninjas.

Speaker 1 It's going to sound bad. It don't cost money.
It's going to sound to get somebody

Speaker 1 killed unfortunately. Unfortunately.
I'm not going to be associated with it in no way, shape, or form. It's not going to be no ID.
It's not going to be no rent a car.

Speaker 1 It's not going to be an airplane ticket. It's not going to be nothing that can remotely come back.
That's going to be

Speaker 1 that's going to come back to me. It's not going to be.
I'm not hitting. We're talking about niggas who don't come from the greatest education system.
They're not that smart.

Speaker 1 I take the other side in that argument. I take the other side too.
I take the other side. If you're a a legitimate street nigga.

Speaker 1 Niggas in the streets was getting niggas murdered at 17 and 18 years old in a manner that they didn't want to be tied to it. Yeah, Dirk dadded his dad.

Speaker 1 Like, he probably has had the greatest education on

Speaker 1 the effects of what this does.

Speaker 1 That's a good point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a good point.

Speaker 1 You had a front row seat.

Speaker 1 I'm just sick and tired of us. And again, I'm not really talking about him because he'll have his day in court.
I don't know. I don't know nothing about none of that.

Speaker 1 They're going to have to try and tie that money, whatever they're trying to do. And I certainly ain't about to say it'll help no case.
I don't know nothing about nothing.

Speaker 1 I'm just tired of seeing young, black, successful people,

Speaker 1 successful people, get the opportunity and lose it.

Speaker 1 Like that.

Speaker 1 Like that. Because of where we came from and the things we've endured and experienced.
At some point, somebody has to be

Speaker 1 break the cycle. But wait, but wait.
When you say,

Speaker 1 hold on.

Speaker 1 Yes, I agree with you. A lot of times, these things be retroactive, right? We know a person, the shit would serve, free our brother.
Like, the shit that he got involved in was retro.

Speaker 1 He changed by the time that they came and looked for him. A lot of shit be,

Speaker 1 you, a lot of shit be retro. It happened before.
And

Speaker 1 to me,

Speaker 1 sometimes you do stuff in the moment. I'm not making any excuse.
I do agree with him, but sometimes you do shit in the moment of 2016 or 15. It's the situation that you're in.

Speaker 1 Then you see something from a different perspective. You get around niggas like you or get around niggas that's showing niggas a different light and like, yo, you know, I want to do better.

Speaker 1 But that stain is still there, and you have to deal with it. Not in this instance, but you're right.

Speaker 1 And not in the surf instance either. Free to wave, surf, I love him, but surf will be the first to tell you.
I said my nigga moved to Africa. Yeah.
No, not Africa. But when he got

Speaker 1 but he. Hey, stop

Speaker 1 and go now.

Speaker 1 Go. He said that.
Because, yes, if you're in the same environment, yes, something retroactively that you did in your past is going to come back.

Speaker 1 I could not stop thinking of Chief Keefe

Speaker 1 this whole time

Speaker 1 as an example of, or at least the only example I could think of, of somebody that did it the right way.

Speaker 1 Did it the right way. I don't know about his past, his street ties, none of that shit.
All I know is is he got a record deal.

Speaker 1 Word spread fast around the industry about who he be like it normally does. He wowed out for a year, maybe the first year and a half, and then he boogie.
He moved.

Speaker 1 He moved and we never heard a thing again.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 yeah, he took advantage of the opportunity, rebranded, and is now recognized as the godfather of that sound and the fucking musical genius that he is. True.

Speaker 1 Nobody mentions his name with none of this other shit. No why? Because he got an opportunity and seemingly stopped.
And guess what? If he didn't stop, it wasn't in a song, it wasn't in a reel,

Speaker 1 it wasn't on YouTube. Live streamed.
Well, yeah, it wasn't that. Yeah.
It wasn't that.

Speaker 1 I don't want to hear this shit from these men. I don't.
I don't. Hey, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Speaker 1 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If I went out there and did it, and I'm a little older, but if I went out there and did it, the word would be a little different from the people that love me.

Speaker 1 Nigga, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Speaker 1 I'm fucking leaving my dad house, leaving my dad's house. I make a left.
It's me and I don't forgot who I was with. Oh, it's my little brother.
We make a left right there on, it don't matter.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 they had a memorial and news. Reporters all over there, big crowds.
I'm like, yo, what happened over here? My brother's like, yo, you ain't here?

Speaker 1 The lady left her four-year-old in the house for for five days or a baby in the house for five days and the baby died. Shit.
Like, wait, what?

Speaker 1 Like, my brain can't compute

Speaker 1 some of the stuff that is happening out here. And in hip-hop, yeah, another one.
This is another one of those things. It's another one of those things.

Speaker 1 And y'all are in a system that's part of a system.

Speaker 1 Who do y'all think y'all be talking to on these microphones, in these booths, on these songs with these fucking choruses and bars. Where do y'all think y'all? Who do y'all think is hearing this stuff?

Speaker 1 I just don't understand. They iPhone on.
I don't understand. They're important they sell with hammers and all that, but yo, you know, we'll play over.
I'm like,

Speaker 1 they do.

Speaker 1 You ain't lying? It ain't too many people that figured out a way to have one foot in and one foot out. Very hard to do.

Speaker 1 I'm sad. It's damn near impossible.
It's like a whole generation of fucking hip-hop music and culture that is being just wiped off the map by dumb shit.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 It's sad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then they're going to try to put like this type of behavior. It's like an indictment on it.
There is an indictment on hip-hop. Yeah.
True. Going on right now.

Speaker 1 And they're going to try to put this behavior in there when I don't know if this is that. It's not that.
I don't know if this is that.

Speaker 1 It's saddening. It's disappointing.
I don't want to talk about none of this shit because I don't live my life in a way that's conducive for me to understand it.

Speaker 1 So So

Speaker 1 I shut the fuck up about it. You know, maybe there's some points on the other side as to why people think that this is rational behavior, but it is not.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, everybody got a phone, so we got to stare at this shit and look at this shit. If you're out there, choose your heroes wisely.
That's what I have for you.

Speaker 1 Choose your heroes wisely. Be careful you pick the person that you want to adore and admire with discernment and care.

Speaker 1 What's up? You cooking? No, no, no, no, I think I ain't got nothing on it.

Speaker 1 Prayers for all. Yeah, word.
Prayers for all. See, but Tommy, me in my 40s, I go to sleep thinking about just senseless death.

Speaker 1 I do. It ain't got to be somebody shooting somebody.

Speaker 1 I go to sleep thinking about the guy that just went to the bodega to get a sandwich and the car just went and plummeted and bow. And now that's the end.
Like, wait, that's not fair.

Speaker 1 That's not fair. That's not right.
On the news, I see mad deaths. I'd be like, for that guy, that's not right.
Shit, Josh Reynolds. Josh Reynolds, right?

Speaker 1 The Denver wide receiver that just got shot in his head and his arm leaving the strip club.

Speaker 1 Like, this shit is sad and it's fucking depressing.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry that so many of y'all feel like you need to bust your gun to feel safe.

Speaker 1 I don't think... I'm giving off and be about safety now.

Speaker 1 What do you think? Well, rather be it be about my cheese. Well, they always say rather to be caught with it than caught with it.
I'm talking about for those people. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 For those people, that flip is talking about where something might retroactively pop up for something you did back in the day. I get

Speaker 1 that.

Speaker 1 I said it'd be about my cheese mo now. Like, niggas brag about having it on them.
Niggas brag, you know, nigga, you know, I don't play, nigga. I let this thing go.
Like, it's a cool thing now.

Speaker 1 I feel, yeah. I feel like it's just, it's deeper than any of the things we would ever know.
Like, you feel me?

Speaker 1 I read a book, like, one of them books, like, psychology shits, and it was basically on the urban community. And it was like, one of the quotes is, how we flip suicidal thoughts is homicidal impulses.

Speaker 1 And it makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 When I look back in Yonkers and look at all the little bros and all that, when one passed away, how everybody's all sad for the week, two weeks, everybody's crying, and all of that.

Speaker 1 A lot of these young niggas is in their homes suffering from a lack of love, appreciation, and all of that. And they think when they die or they go to jail, that they're going to get that.

Speaker 1 That one week, two weeks of praise is real love, and they don't realize that it's not. A lot of these niggas are really suicidal, and they're flipping it into homicidal impulses.

Speaker 1 That's sad, can't argue that. I can see that.
I can't argue that. I can see it too.
It's sad. I can't argue that.

Speaker 1 Now, you know, my problem is, this is what my problem is. I swear to God, I hate God, I'm sorry, that I hate coming in here on pod days to discuss shit like this.
I swear I do.

Speaker 1 It really grinds my gears. This irks my soul to have to come in here and speak to some of this shit.

Speaker 1 But a few things

Speaker 1 to Jaywan's earlier point, let me be the one to tell y'all out there.

Speaker 1 You don't have to live your raps,

Speaker 1 you don't have to do that. I don't care what they told you in the 80s and 90s, it's art.
You know how many lies I told in raps?

Speaker 1 Mad lies.

Speaker 1 You don't have to get on there and chronicle

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 chronological order. You don't have to name

Speaker 1 like rest in peace Fulio. Somebody on my algorithm, a Fulio joint song popped up and it was hard.
I wasn't too familiar with Fulio's music, but this song was hard.

Speaker 1 And the whole thing was him naming the niggas that died.

Speaker 1 Like the niggas that got all of the ops. Every one of it.
It was three minutes of. Death.

Speaker 1 We got all of them niggas.

Speaker 1 The internet now is pulling up old Dirk songs

Speaker 1 that sound a certain way. And

Speaker 1 a certain

Speaker 1 album cover had a scoreboard up there

Speaker 1 of us versus y'all and nigga we winning.

Speaker 1 Like, how many niggas we merc versus how many niggas y'all merc. And that's what's going on.
What do you mean that was true, though? It don't,

Speaker 1 we don't know. Nobody knows.
We not that close. Thank God we're not that close to the situation to know if it's true or not.
But

Speaker 1 just the option.

Speaker 1 It looks away. The optics.
It looks away. That fucking song with the choir saying, oh, my life,

Speaker 1 I'm alive and dad of it, man. Yo, dog.
Who the fuck do y'all think y'all are fooling with this stuff?

Speaker 1 All of this key to the city, yo.

Speaker 1 You know what my problem is? Let me talk, and then you can go ahead.

Speaker 1 Like some of us come from hoods where

Speaker 1 we know killers We've spoken to some of them that some of them got good hearts. So we we understand some of us come from places where some killers We understand

Speaker 1 so we do have an empathy that is not present in modern day society. And that's how they could tell that we from where we from because we kind of

Speaker 1 in a sick twisted way get it get some of that irrationalize some of that and I'm not saying that's okay but that exists in some of us

Speaker 1 we have to draw a line between that and just romanticizing bad killers

Speaker 1 y'all niggas whoever this applies to are not good at killing

Speaker 1 Y'all are missing your target, hitting another target, going to rap about it, killing a kid, killing a mom, killing in the daytime, killing at a mall, killing in very crowded fucking areas, killing over nothing.

Speaker 1 You niggas are killing over absolutely nothing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so that's my problem. Like I want to say, I want to separate the people that have that type of empathy that I'm speaking about

Speaker 1 because those people that I'm talking about, I never spoke to one of them and they was like, all right, right, Mouse, I'm about to run this bodega and just let everybody in their habit.

Speaker 1 Since Elon Musk purchased X, my 4U tab is nothing but those types of senseless murders.

Speaker 1 It's dudes running in check cashing spots with AR-15s and just wiping everybody out. Like, this shit is a mess out here.
And thirdly,

Speaker 1 if there was anybody who we would totally understand, you making a decision to change your your life around and live differently and maybe turn your back to some of the things that was going on previously, it's Dirk.

Speaker 1 It's Dirk.

Speaker 1 What else needs to happen?

Speaker 1 They've killed people close to you.

Speaker 1 They've killed your family.

Speaker 1 They've run in your house while you and your queen were sleeping.

Speaker 1 If he were to say, hey, you know what, dog,

Speaker 1 I'm cool. I'm going to take my $60 million

Speaker 1 and go to Colorado

Speaker 1 and rap from there, never to be seen again.

Speaker 1 I think everybody would say, hey, you know what? I get that.

Speaker 1 I get that. That's never the fucking choice.
That's never the route chosen. I don't get it.
Again, he'll have his day in court, so I'm not really getting in him.

Speaker 1 They'll have to prove that what they're saying about him is true.

Speaker 1 But for the niggas that they nabbed, they talking about they got somebody that was wearing a wire for 12 years.

Speaker 1 No, he came home from 12. He had it for years, though.
All right, he came home from 12, had a wire on him, and was wearing the wire for years.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 1 Got it. Damn.
For the niggas that they nabbed, though,

Speaker 1 they got the shooters. They got the shooters already.
Hey, there was 20 million cameras over there on sunset at 3 o'clock that day.

Speaker 1 You boarded the plane with your name. We got the text.

Speaker 1 We got you receiving the money. That's where the problem is.
It's not that it was just a murder for hire. We have the money being paid.

Speaker 1 Unlike

Speaker 1 Dolph, where they was talking about it was a murder for hire, we never got paid. So that made it fuzzy.
These people got received money. Whoever these people are.
So now they got to track it.

Speaker 1 The crazy shit be, you got the money on Zelle or Vimmo or Cash App or some wild shit. Like, if that is the case, yeah.
It's just these are senseless crimes that don't appear to have much thought

Speaker 1 going into it other than

Speaker 1 violent emotional reaction and response. And it's a shame to keep seeing it happen to the people that

Speaker 1 found a way, to the people that hit the lotto.

Speaker 1 These opportunities we talking about don't just pop up for people it's it's like it is like hitting the lotto

Speaker 1 I wish that we would cherish it more I wish that we would value ourselves and each other just more than to keep doing that that's all that's all I'm done I think that you know

Speaker 1 I'm in the middle Joe

Speaker 1 I'm realizing that podcasting, the job that we have to do, is filled with hypocrisy.

Speaker 1 And I say that to say because when we talked about liking that same Dirk song, you pushed the fact that you didn't want to hear that, you wanted to hear the regular Dirk shit that he normally does.

Speaker 1 And on top of that, everybody's not as fortunate and as smart as you to take an opportunity.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that when I hear a story about how you sat in your truck and somebody tried to take you, do whatever, and the gun jammed, I'm pretty sure if you didn't have the maturity and the success you had or just being the person you have, being the person you are, if that nigga was outside playing around and you had the opportunity, based off, in my opinion, the environment you come from, something could have happened to him if he didn't go to jail because he tried to take your life.

Speaker 1 The guy that broke my jaw in the park, I looked for him for that shit, bothered me every day.

Speaker 1 Look for him for over 10 years, sitting in the park, laying there on the bench on YouTube, can't find this nigga because I got snuck and my jaw broke and it was around the neighborhood until I interviewed so be and he was able to sit down across that across from this guy.

Speaker 1 And it's a simple broke my jaw, snuck me from behind. So I'm saying that we experience some of these traumas and we are not as fortunate as

Speaker 1 And it is an excuse, but we're not as fortunate to think how you think.

Speaker 1 But you are.

Speaker 1 That's the problem.

Speaker 1 I am now. I am now.
Before I got here,

Speaker 1 before I got here around you and see, I thought differently. You're still blessed.

Speaker 1 No, but I thought differently. You were one of the lucky ones the way I was one of the lucky ones.
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 1 Somebody put a gun inside of my Hummer on Gifford and Bergen and pulled the trigger point-blank range and it didn't go off.

Speaker 1 That's luck. Part of being good is being lucky, but that's luck.
That didn't make me say,

Speaker 1 that's kind of my point is we have to value ourselves in a way where I'm not now trading in my life to cancel yours.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a fair exchange. I think God...

Speaker 1 blessed me in that moment.

Speaker 1 So let me be wise enough to go and meet my potential and all of the things that I'm capable of versus getting with the 40 niggas that I was with at the time and figuring out how to go handle that in a different way.

Speaker 1 Even if you were going to handle it,

Speaker 1 it's still,

Speaker 1 maybe it's me, I'm still not going to handle it while it's just gung-ho. How many experiences you had to go through for you to say to yourself, yo, let me make a change.

Speaker 1 This is what we're all forgetting. Like, some people need a certain amount.
And unfortunately, it may end up death or jail.

Speaker 1 But when you're in the streets, regardless if you got money or don't, that's what comes with it. That's the only options.
You use the word either. I wasn't in the street.
That's not true either.

Speaker 1 Even when you're in the streets, you just not gonna say, yo, fuck it, and I'ma just crash out.

Speaker 1 The smart niggas that's making money in the streets and that's doing things in the streets, yeah, some of them niggas is getting niggas killed, but they're not just getting niggas killed on some, yo, go kill that nigga on Main Street at 2 o'clock.

Speaker 1 Everybody in the streets not making money. Some niggas are just in the way in the streets.
Somebody can't say that either. It's some niggas in the street game that's just not dumb.

Speaker 1 We're trying to make it seem like, yo, the niggas that live that life, that's just how they are. And that's not true.
There's a

Speaker 1 generational gap. Y'all were raised different.

Speaker 1 Chicago is different from New Jersey, from New York, from Yonkers, from Queens. Like, it is a different world.

Speaker 1 None of the murders I'm talking about happened in Chicago. No, they didn't, but the niggas that are committing them allegedly.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about the bullshit that happened in Atlanta where we all could have left the hookah spot peacefully. I I agree with this.
I've been in the parking lot.

Speaker 1 Yo, if you've been outside, you've been in the parking lot before with some niggas that Amy. You know, they was on bullshit.
Yeah, and you move accordingly in the parking lot.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about Atlanta and Florida. I don't care about where y'all come from.
I understand that Chicago's a different place, which is why you never hear me talk about Chicago.

Speaker 1 I'm not there to know or speak to it.

Speaker 1 Once you get your rap money

Speaker 1 and invest that in

Speaker 1 vests, bullets, ammo, guns, the joints with the switch and bounties, dog, we're getting you for the bounty. You cannot just run around and put money on top of somebody's head because you got money.

Speaker 1 Sorry. That's not how this works.

Speaker 1 Is there ever a time where a nigga be like, yo, you know better?

Speaker 1 Does that ever stand?

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 When you in jail. That's when niggas have that conversation.
When you in jail, yo, bro, you knew better. Niggas don't have that conversation on the streets.
I'm talking about within yourself.

Speaker 1 When they are in jail.

Speaker 1 Did you have it after you got shot? Yeah, I had it before and after.

Speaker 1 You see, you had it multiple times. But when I got shot, it wasn't based on something that I was doing necessarily dumb.
What I'm saying is this. When I was a kid,

Speaker 1 I knew better. When I'm an adult, I knew better.
I agree with this. I'm not blaming it on nobody.

Speaker 1 Anything that goes on in my life today, whether it's in business whether it's in personal bro i i hold myself accountable accountable for every decision i ever made in my life bro we are a combination of our decisions that's a fact right so cool i'm not gonna blame this i'm not gonna blame that i'm not gonna when i was running around i was still smarter than most of the running around because i thought different than them they was doing dumb shit i didn't want to do it i ain't do it And thank God coming up the niggas that was doing dumb shit protected niggas like me.

Speaker 1 Not all the time, but even when they, I still would say, oh, that nigga on dummy time. We see going over there.
We see dirt clothes. I'm just saying,

Speaker 1 they let old boy go to the park and work on his jump shot. You got a chance, young boy.
You come from a good family, man. Go get your shit off while we out here.
I see you. Like, I'm with Ish.

Speaker 1 At some point, people that know better, that ain't true. We just ain't coming around you niggas that's shooting 20 niggas a month.

Speaker 1 Fuck y'all. Fuck y'all.

Speaker 1 No, it ain't that many niggas saying that right now. On my block right now, and Carl can tell y'all this.
There's a bunch of young niggas that have no reason to be out there.

Speaker 1 they're not even from over there and every time I come outside I keep asking yo why are they here like what is their purpose like and what's the response and nobody has a response I've been asking for the last month and a half yo why are they here like what the are they doing like are y'all what do you what is what is their purpose and not and you know what a common is

Speaker 1 they just outside they want to be outside and that is it it it's never the person it's always the entourage a lot of the times that be the problem behind a lot of shit.

Speaker 1 It takes a village to raise a child.

Speaker 1 Even me trying to be outside.

Speaker 1 Remember my mother coming into clubs looking for me, right, at a young age? Or nigga Webb and Niddy having a conversation aggressively. But, yo, nigga, you're not doing that, little TJ.

Speaker 1 Go in the house. You got a good mother.
You got a house. Go to school.
Giving me money. You don't need to do that.
Here, take the money. Go buy yourself some sneakers.
And this is what happened.

Speaker 1 But sometimes you just watch shit and you want to. That's why I take accountability.
Because I had niggas tell me that, and thank God I did.

Speaker 1 Thank God it was a group of niggas that, and I asked him this question as an adult, like, yo, what did y'all see?

Speaker 1 I asked Niddy when I sat down with him, yo, what y'all niggas saw that y'all didn't even give me a pack or say go do a dummy mission?

Speaker 1 Because in my mind, I was more than capable of doing it because I was doing it on my own.

Speaker 1 And he explained to me that, yo, a lot of times when we grow up, there's always those special ones that.

Speaker 1 We go the extra mile and we cherish. Like, nah, you go to school.
I missed my opportunity. I missed it.
So it is niggas out there that will do so. I had that experience.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I had that experience.

Speaker 1 And y'all just today, y'all today, man, y'all kids today. Oh, man.
I do like my 40s. First of all, aging is a gift.
It is.

Speaker 1 I want to remind the audience of that. Getting older is the blessing.
One. And two, the stunt today is different than whatever y'all are putting on Instagram.

Speaker 1 The stunt today is nitty hitting me to say, happy Father's Day.

Speaker 1 Love you, OG. Remember back in the day, we made your kids, my kids, I

Speaker 1 just talking to father, dad,

Speaker 1 family, yo, what you doing now that we don't have to do none of that no more?

Speaker 1 That's the stunt.

Speaker 1 It is. Y'all are confusing the stunt out there.

Speaker 1 Y'all are.

Speaker 1 I pray that y'all get guidance from somewhere, whoever this applies to, whoever this applies to.

Speaker 1 Again, Dirk will have his day in court, and because I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, I hope that they can't prove none of that stuff that they're attempting to prove on him.

Speaker 1 That's the hope.

Speaker 1 I feel it. I agree.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 I mean, in more hip-hop court news.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 it's a weekend, man. I was in a good mood and a good vibe.
Y'all coming here with this with this whoop nanny.

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 1 Let me call on the Sahutha real quick.

Speaker 1 Yo, man.

Speaker 1 This life thing is good.

Speaker 1 This life thing is good. It's beautiful.

Speaker 1 It's fragile. It's delicate.
It's to be treated and handled with care.

Speaker 1 Care.

Speaker 1 Damn. This shit is a long intro.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he knew.

Speaker 1 This might be my favorite Luther song, too. He knew the beat was black.
Just let it run.

Speaker 1 Let it run. I ain't ready yet.
Luther was getting some coffee or something.

Speaker 1 Fucking some nigga in the back. Yo!

Speaker 1 What? You think Luther never fucked no dude in the studio? You are my shot and star my guard. Not right before doing this.

Speaker 1 George Michael, you think think some of these slaps come from gay sex in the back.

Speaker 1 A nigga slapping them and putting out a gun on them and telling them to go record. Remember that producer that they said that was doing that? Niggas was forcing a nigga to record.

Speaker 1 Under the stress, nigga. So yeah, I couldn't get a bunch of people.
Can't be putting a gun on Luther?

Speaker 1 No, no, no. You're talking about Phil Spectre, man.
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 That ain't no doubt.

Speaker 1 Hey, this is in jail.

Speaker 1 He's in jail? Yes, he's in. Wham was based off Wham?

Speaker 1 Yeah, come on. What wham meant? What did what Wham really mean? Them niggas got mad.
They're gonna be. Make money before you go, nigga.
That means they was butt-ass for Gordon now.

Speaker 1 Luther ain't no drawers don't do this.

Speaker 1 Listen to it. I just don't wanna see.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's good vibes and good energy in here.

Speaker 1 A million days in your mom's is now.

Speaker 1 It wasn't confirmed. I don't give a fuck.
Yes, it was. Bahoo, nigga.
I don't stop that. Luther was gay.

Speaker 1 Never too much, never too much, never too much.

Speaker 1 It's alright. We still fuck with Luther.

Speaker 1 But he didn't confirm he was gay. Like, he died.
A lot of niggas don't confirm they gay.

Speaker 1 Luther was gay, nigga. Why do you want to dance with your father? I told y'all.
No, that's not gay. That's not gay.
Why do you want to dance with me? If JR come in the house, your dad, let's dance.

Speaker 1 You're going to look at him crazy. Listen, that's not gay.
No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not. And I have one of my favorite songs.
That's not gay. Call him right now and ask him if he's not.
I'm not calling him right now.

Speaker 1 I never. yo you got trauma son you got trauma and that's what i'm saying

Speaker 1 I understand, man.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 But you look like you're trying to help get rid of me, so I see you're mad because all my days off, you just try to call shit out. Yo, you got a length brush.

Speaker 1 Yo, you flossing your teeth.

Speaker 1 Yo, whatever y'all doing, leave that at the pet farm.

Speaker 1 Whatever y'all doing, you watch that whole shit too. You leave that shit to SeaWorld or wherever the fuck y'all was at.
Animal Kingdom. Yo, y'all at the pet farm.
What the fuck? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Here we talking about Summer Walker, not your lack of hygiene.

Speaker 1 Which one y'all think?

Speaker 1 Summer Walker? Let me weigh this out. Do y'all have any thoughts on the new Summer Walker project and not Flips hygiene? Summer Walker, the song that I heard was nice.

Speaker 1 It reminds me, it's an old school feel. 90s feel like it said, or whoever said it.
And Jay Wong said it sounded like Brandy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That shit was fire.

Speaker 2 It gives it a a little bit of a brandy feel.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm jacking that.

Speaker 1 I'm jacking that too.

Speaker 1 Heart of a woman. These young niggas is dead.
It's a heart of a woman, bro. What was wrong with that? Nothing.
That's good lingo. All right, I got you.

Speaker 1 I'm with you. Summer is summer.
Summer is summer. Indeed.
Shout out to summer.

Speaker 1 Let's just be careful with our brandy references. No, that's good.
He loves brandy. You think that's bad? I think that was a good thing.
He knocked somebody off before. It's a compliment.

Speaker 1 It is a compliment.

Speaker 1 To one of those people.

Speaker 1 It gave me that. It's a compliment to one of those people.

Speaker 1 To one person. To one of those people.

Speaker 1 I think you should say it slowed down a bit a little bit.

Speaker 1 To one of them who might be the heir to the Whitney Voice throne.

Speaker 1 Talking about how their relationship. I'm not talking about our fodder.
Okay. Their relationship.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, let's cool it now just a little bit. Let's let summer be summer.
Miss Norwood,

Speaker 1 y'all should have a little more respect.

Speaker 1 I wasn't talking about the vocals. I was talking about the product.
The sound. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Say it, though.

Speaker 1 Say it, though.

Speaker 1 Miss Norwood is not to be played with. So the nuances that need to be.
Yo, you know what? We have had a lot of new hires. We had to let Mark know about how we feel about Jay-Z up here.

Speaker 1 We need to make a list. I'm I'm going to make a list of the people that y'all need to just treat with a little, have a little more reverence for when we talk up here.
Miss Norwood is on that list.

Speaker 1 For me, let's just be careful, is all. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I think in another life, you might have married her, yo.

Speaker 1 If I could act right?

Speaker 1 Like, if I. Yeah, because I don't think she's tolerating that.
Imagine him and Ray J as his own brother-in-laws. Holy shit.

Speaker 1 Thanksgiving would be. Oh, y'all would be out of here.
That is a content.

Speaker 1 Goldmine. You niggas would be out of here.
What? Mona Scott would have been rich. Y'all.
You know what's funny, though? Like,

Speaker 1 I do have a theory, and I'm with what y'all are saying. I also think the Brandys and some of them, the Whitneys, some of them that are buttoned up

Speaker 1 be with the shit. All the way.
I can cook shirts. I can cook it.
All the way with it. You'll just never know it because I have to.
I just carry myself classy. Yeah, they just got class.

Speaker 1 But you think that brandy or the likes of brandy don't like a dick with some toxicity? I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all.
Not that I'm in a pussy business. I love brandy.

Speaker 1 I love brandy too much to even to even put her through the Joe Button experience.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't think that's right. That's funny.
I don't think that's right. I'm with you.
Sometimes you got to save people from yourself.

Speaker 1 Like, sometimes you can look at somebody and know the damage that... Yeah, it's a piranha over here.
Get out my water, please.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, girl, and sing them songs. Yeah, don't overdo it.
Get out my water. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Cause, and the reason you don't date them chicks that's all buttoned up like that, anything they say publicly, they right.

Speaker 1 They could be dead ass wrong in the house. Like that whole Kiki Palmer and her man shit.
I'll mind my business, but I got some thoughts.

Speaker 1 If Brandy say Joe Button did some shit in the house, nigga, I did some shit in the house. It ain't no fighting app.
I love you, Brandy. Anyway.
Anyway.

Speaker 1 Anything else in music? Not a ton. Anybody from your Backpacking Boys came out? Shane War dropped a great project, self-produced, Lotus Child.

Speaker 1 Megan Thee Stallion dropped Deluxe, which is a whole 13 new songs, so it's a new album. I don't understand that.
I'm never listening to Megan Thee Stallion. It sounded pretty good.

Speaker 1 I only listened to like two or three songs. It sounded pretty good.
I just don't understand why you wouldn't put that out as a new album. It's weird.
If it's that many songs, songs, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm saying that, but her last album did have some songs that I fuck with. I play some.
You would probably like some of this shit. I play some of them snake sounding songs.

Speaker 1 I just think she needs to change up the

Speaker 1 tempo of some of the songs. That's all.
Yeah, the tempo and the rhyme style is a little consistent, but I have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with that.

Speaker 1 Well, meaning that I'm not going to listen to her consistently enough for that to be a problem. I get you.
Yeah. I get you.
But shout out to her. Yeah, shout to her.
Who else? Who else?

Speaker 1 Y'all don't give a fuck about music when it drops, right? Like Friday come, y'all don't even check the iTunes store or nothing. Look at these niggas.
We don't.

Speaker 1 It was a pretty quiet week in their defense. We looked at Paul's.
Ice ain't here. We wish he usually haven't.

Speaker 1 I'll speak for Ice.

Speaker 1 The East Side has dropped. I'm excited about that.
Snoop presents to EP.

Speaker 1 Still Eastside, or Still Eastie.

Speaker 1 West Coast.

Speaker 1 And speaking of Ice, I think Gucci dropped a record. Oh, he did? Okay.
With somebody. Him and Sexy.
There you go. Him and Sexy Red.
I'm sure that's fire.

Speaker 1 I'll wait for Ice to play it for me before I hear it. I'm going to listen to everything tonight.
Not I. Tonight, be crazy as hell.

Speaker 1 So you ain't going to start out. My knees shaking.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 You on punishment?

Speaker 1 No, nigga, chilling. You on punishment? He don't need to go outside no more now that he got the love from his father this week.

Speaker 1 That's what it was.

Speaker 1 I was outside trying to get mine.

Speaker 1 He ain't outside trying to fill that empty void. Tell me, where have you been?

Speaker 1 Father.

Speaker 1 I love love this kid. All right, musicians, have at it.

Speaker 1 Have at it. I have absolutely nothing else in music.
Yeah, it's a pretty quiet week. All right.

Speaker 1 What else we got?

Speaker 2 Do you guys want to talk about Menendez brothers possibly getting parole?

Speaker 1 Show us. Tell us to them.

Speaker 2 Okay. Well, the district attorney in California has basically said that he is going to recommend to the judge who is going to

Speaker 1 re-sentence him?

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, he's recommending re-sentencing.

Speaker 1 You're on top of this Menendez shit. You like Dem Kardashian.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, I think. You ain't missed a beat with this shit.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, like, it's hard not to because it's all over our televisions. I mean, first we had the Ryan Murphy, you know,

Speaker 2 series, and then we have their voices talking about their perspective of everything. They've been in jail for like over 30 years.

Speaker 1 34 years. And they did a 2020 on these dudes recently.
I watched that as well. Yeah, there's HBO on it.
It's everywhere.

Speaker 2 And then, in light, exactly, in light of all the new evidence from the former member of Menudo talking about the sexual assault that he experienced at the hands of their father, now the district attorney is basically saying, I'm going to recommend that they get parole

Speaker 2 eligibility immediately. That's huge, because they were like facing life imprisonment without parole forever.

Speaker 1 And he also was down a couple of points. He's up for re-election.

Speaker 1 One of the...

Speaker 2 Yeah, the district attorney? Yes. Yeah, Gascon.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was down like 30%. How do we feel about that? I think they should get freed.

Speaker 2 I think that they should be eligible for parole because they're not a danger to society.

Speaker 2 Like, and I think that that's one of the considerations when it comes to being eligible for parole. They're not a danger to society.

Speaker 2 And with the circumstances around the fact that they may have been telling the truth about being sexually abused and that not having been taken into account during their trial.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I feel

Speaker 1 cracking a naked shit. I think if

Speaker 1 the second doctor came out was valid and the shit that was left out of the trial is true, then it would have been probably a manslaughter charge.

Speaker 1 They still killed people at the end of the day brutally.

Speaker 1 And I think that their time would have been.

Speaker 1 I feel sexual abusers should be tortured to some degree. So if their father, who's supposed to be their hero,

Speaker 1 sexually abused them. Damn, come on.
Can we skip this guy's dad trauma? No, this ain't. Can we skip his drum?

Speaker 1 My dad should be my hero all the time. What the fuck?

Speaker 1 And respect the 1v1, man. Let them niggas clear out.
You see Ish cracking his neck up there talking. Hit him with that.
Got a 1v1 going.

Speaker 1 I think it's bullshit. You think what's bullshit? Them getting early release.

Speaker 1 It's been 34 years. You don't give a fuck what it been.

Speaker 1 It's the niggas that have gone to jail for less,

Speaker 1 did life.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 if we are going to allow somebody's trauma to justify them committing criminal acts, then free the whole ghetto.

Speaker 1 I'm not mad. Oh, great.
Free to ghetto. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm not a fan of that.
I think it's bullshit.

Speaker 1 I think that the media attention and the spotlight that's been put upon the case has now allowed them, you know, the benefit of getting

Speaker 1 sympathy from the masses, but the sympathy they don't give us masses when we create, when we do violent crime.

Speaker 1 But you don't identify with trauma anyway. Who don't identify with trauma? Let me just say that.
From conversations, it don't seem like you really take the trauma seriously. That's not true.

Speaker 1 It's therapy that he doesn't really do. My apologies.
I'm saying that

Speaker 1 speaking to you and coming from you, I would expect the answer like that because you're just a macho man, nigga. That's nothing.

Speaker 1 That's just how I feel. I'm just saying.
I feel like watching

Speaker 1 if their father did that, I do understand what you're saying, but if they father did that to them, a lot of back in those days, they didn't feel like men suffered from those things, like sexual assault.

Speaker 1 It wasn't really highlighted when it came to men. You know, it was shunned.
It's only women experienced those things. So So I feel like.
It's still taboo. Yeah, it's taboo.
So I feel like, you know,

Speaker 1 a lot of times, if a girl is kidnapped and she kills her killer,

Speaker 1 kills her kidnapper, you know, she does time, but a woman,

Speaker 1 sex trafficked. Yeah, sex traffic, she gets out at a decent

Speaker 1 time. Good point.
But I understand what you say.

Speaker 1 I felt the same way until I saw the story and then

Speaker 1 I watched the documentary. I'm like, okay, you empathize with them a little more.
Yeah, empathize with them a little more, Yeah. So do you feel they shouldn't be released because of the killing part?

Speaker 1 Or because of the way they did it?

Speaker 1 I think that their killing was graphic. I think that their killing was premeditated.
And I think that, again,

Speaker 1 not saying that those guys didn't have, if those things were accurate and that that stuff really took place, they definitely had a right to feel contempt and disdain for their family.

Speaker 1 I just think that it sets a precedent. Like, what about all the people that did similar shit, that just didn't have their case televised? They still locked up.

Speaker 1 So I think it's unfair to let go some and not let go all. I think it's unfair that

Speaker 1 we are talking about the re-sentencing,

Speaker 1 that we're talking about the television shows as it pertains to the re-sentencing and not some of the new evidence that they found.

Speaker 1 I don't believe that a television show alone. is going to get people

Speaker 1 granted new trials. Stephen Avery.

Speaker 1 But if there's new evidence, and he ain't getting, I don't know why he thought Trump was getting him out of jail.

Speaker 1 We just had a case, we just had a case less than a month ago where somebody was executed.

Speaker 1 The district attorney, the district attorney begged for him to not be executed. The quote-unquote

Speaker 1 victim's family that they thought was a victim begged for him not to be prosecuted under the guise of new evidence that exonerated the gentleman. He still got executed.

Speaker 1 You understand what I'm saying? I do, but I don't think that you should hold

Speaker 1 true. Just because he didn't get the right thing.
It's the proper thing that I'm saying I shouldn't get proper treatment. But he's saying the unfair treatment.
He's saying that it's unfair justice.

Speaker 1 It's unfair justice. I understand what it's just saying.
But to that point, how you saying, like, basically you saying the TV and everything is given, we just had this conversation a few pods back.

Speaker 1 They did that with Diddy. They're using the TV and shit to make him look pain away.
So regardless of how it go, it can be in your favor or not in your favor. True, true, true.
I'm not disagreeing.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying that y'all asking me my opinion on the case. I'm just saying I think that,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 it's drug sellers that got life that didn't do a violent crime. They got life for selling drugs.
I'm just thinking about it.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're not able to look at this isolated. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm with you on that part, by the way. What? Like, drug dealers should not probably serve life.
Yeah, personality.

Speaker 1 I know

Speaker 1 that got life. That's literally doing life right now.
I don't think someone else shouldn't get fair justice because

Speaker 1 somebody else is. That's a good point.
But because you think drug dealers shouldn't get life, it's people that think what drug dealers do is bad. Just because you don't think it's as bad as killing.

Speaker 1 That's their opinion. Not knocking their opinion.
So new evidence, you're saying the new evidence was found, and that's what we should be focusing on.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, the fact of the matter is that.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys fuck the menudo boy.

Speaker 1 Like, what are you doing? Like, dog.

Speaker 1 And they found an old letter from the kids to a cousin. He said to his cousin, he said to his cousin.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a letter to his cousin. I want him to get out.
I do want him to get out. Yeah.
34 years is 34 years. And your parents doing the abuse.

Speaker 1 It's like, I can't speak to what that moment is doing to somebody.

Speaker 2 And not only that, when we talk about prison, you know, they talk about the whole rehabilitation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you did time. Well, not, shut up.
You did tell me you went to jail. You went to prison for some reason.

Speaker 2 I did not go to prison.

Speaker 2 I didn't go to prison. I was in jail.
There's a big difference between the two, okay? But when they talk about prison, they talk a lot about rehabilitation.

Speaker 2 And a lot of times that's just really bullshit. But these guys have been exemplary prisoners.
They have got they've gotten like college degrees and they run prison programs and they do all this stuff.

Speaker 1 Why did that sound so anti-black? What?

Speaker 1 I don't feel like you should be able to say that.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Like that, all the rehabilitation talk is bullshit a lot of times. Like, do we have facts to support that? Well, yeah.
It depends on what angle she comes from. In this country.

Speaker 1 It depends on what angle she comes from. Go ahead.
If y'all want to be this person.

Speaker 2 No, I'm talking from the angle that.

Speaker 1 I don't think the rehabilitation programs work in prison? No.

Speaker 1 Are you serious or are you joking? I'm dead. That was fair.

Speaker 2 No, I'm not even talking about rehabilitation. I'm not even talking about rehabilitation programs.
I'm talking about being in prison and it being a rehabilitative experience.

Speaker 1 That's bullshit.

Speaker 2 That's what I'm saying for you. For some shit.

Speaker 1 I would say for some, for some, no. There's studies that show.
Corey. That's not.
Corey Style.

Speaker 1 That's totally not bullshit. Corey Style.
What side are you standing on? That prison does rehabilitate or can't. I'm not saying does.
Okay, so do you want to talk about like rehabilitation?

Speaker 1 So I just don't think it's fair to state

Speaker 1 factually that prison can't rehab. That's true.
I don't think that that's a fair assessment. It can't be.
I agree with that, too. Okay.

Speaker 1 And prison can make you worse. It can as well.
So that's why I don't case-by-case basis. It can as well.

Speaker 2 So I don't want to apply it as a blanket statement.

Speaker 1 It jumps out at me when it is a blanket statement because prison rehabbed my dad. Indeed.

Speaker 1 That makes sense.

Speaker 2 So I don't want to issue it as a blanket statement. I want to issue that as a generalized statement.

Speaker 1 So let me just be clear on that.

Speaker 2 That's better. So when it comes to the Menendez brothers, they're not a danger to society.

Speaker 2 They, yes, they did a heinous crime, but it was directed to the people that, you know, they've given examples of the fact that they like abuse them. And so I don't know.

Speaker 2 I'm just on the side of them getting parole. And also.

Speaker 2 I don't know why it's now, but we've read and seen lots of documentaries about them over the course of like the last 20, 30 years.

Speaker 2 This is not the first time that they've produced documentaries based on the Menendez brothers. It's just now new evidence has come to light in conjunction with a lot of media attention.

Speaker 1 This had the best acting. This had the best budget.
This had the best production.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but I also think that the fact that the main factor that, you know, what you guys were saying about men, you know, and

Speaker 2 male children, exactly the taboo of male children being abused, it's a different era in which we're living. It's a different conversation.
We have a different mindset when it comes to that.

Speaker 2 Whereas maybe 20 years ago, it was still very much something that just didn't want to be, you know, people just didn't want to talk about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and you know, now people with power, with money and power,

Speaker 1 you know, they're trying to highlight a lot of times that people with money and power do whatever they want and get away with it. So you have to be fair all around the board.

Speaker 1 That's just my stance on it. You know what I'm saying? If they, you know, the parents were rich and they were being sexually abused by their father, they felt like they had nowhere to go.

Speaker 1 They didn't, you know, it's just, we hear about these stories and you know, free them. Got you.

Speaker 1 Free the bros.

Speaker 1 Well, not our bros, but free. The Menendez bros.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Jesus. Jesus.

Speaker 1 Let's try this again.

Speaker 1 You brought it up. It is.

Speaker 1 No, I didn't. No, I didn't bring it up.
Too bad. She brought it up.

Speaker 1 Niggas say free the gang and that's it.

Speaker 1 This fucking free diving shit.

Speaker 1 It's over.

Speaker 1 It's a Friday.

Speaker 1 It is the fucking weekend.

Speaker 1 Some people are traveling. Some niggas are doing shit that's lit right now.
Here we go, though. It's depressing shit.
Fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 I want to say something too.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 1 I want to thank you. Thank you for, you just woke me up real quick.
And I want to, it's about something with women and dating.

Speaker 1 I have something that I want to say, Jeff. I'd love to hear about that.

Speaker 1 Whenever the hook, you know, this shit is a long

Speaker 1 20 minutes. This is top he was fucking, right?

Speaker 1 Let me fuck before the verse come on.

Speaker 1 I can catch a quickie in five.

Speaker 1 Count me in.

Speaker 1 That's what he was doing. Them niggas doing six shit.
Yo, Quincy, where you at, nigga? I want to talk to that nigga. So, yo, drop, interview that nigga.
Quincy, I'll light your fucking ass.

Speaker 1 No, I don't want to smoke with him. He's a legend.
He always let me talk to the Quincy legend. Yours are a shooter, Quincy, Quincy, I'll light you up.
No, I lost my glasses we got.

Speaker 1 Gotta be fast. Gotta be quicker than that.
Shit hurt my heart. Gotta be fast, young blood.
I don't buy them shits. That's why I'm buying them.
Because I lead them shit somewhere. Hats and glasses.

Speaker 1 I got a limited up glasses too.

Speaker 1 They don't stand a chance with me. Yo, I bought a fucking cashmere,

Speaker 1 dope-ass cashmere beanie. I wore that shit about four times.
I was tight. I don't know.
That's why I'm buying. I was a little bit glasses when I got these, but they was Ray-Bands, and then I felt bad.

Speaker 1 I didn't know. Fit men's is cool.
I like that. I know.

Speaker 1 I was weird to Ray-Band, so I just didn't. Why didn't you get him some fly shit like you had, nigga? Let's get them some NASDAQ-ish.
That wasn't a bad pair of Ray-Bands. Ray-Bands are classy.

Speaker 1 What's your glasses? These?

Speaker 1 Yes. Those are Louie.
These are Louie. Oh, don't bother me.
Don't buy me Ray if you're going to buy Lou. Yeah.
Come on, shit. Same thing with the car.

Speaker 1 You can't buy a nigga lessons.

Speaker 1 I love Louis. If you went Proud of the Big, you got to have Proud of the Television.
Yeah, I love when we bump into a topic by mistake. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that the rule on gift-giving? No. No, no.

Speaker 1 No. It depends.
It depends that rule. That's not true.
Look, now he said he's going to try to defend it. Nah, I'm just saying that depends.

Speaker 1 I'm not going, if I'm buying some, if I'm at the same time. That's the problem.
If you buying some shit at the same time, like I'm not, me and my man go out to eat.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to get my man pizza and I got a fucking time a haul. But you're not shopping together.
That's the difference.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to bring you parts back.

Speaker 1 If I'm like, yo, I'm going to get some food. You want something? You're like, yeah,

Speaker 1 bring me something. But he was just bringing you a gift.
You didn't have to know that he's going out at the same time. But he just told him, Yeah, he shouldn't have let me know.

Speaker 1 Black people have, we have,

Speaker 1 we gotta spend your money. It's human decency.

Speaker 1 I would say, thank you for the sunglasses.

Speaker 1 I would say the same thing. I would say the same thing.
But I wear it, right? But don't show it over when you do it. Like, yeah, when I bought you these Ray-Bans, I bought these Louis.

Speaker 1 Well, the dats would, yeah, okay. That's what I'm saying.
Thank you, gift. That's what he did.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 he didn't buy the sunglasses at all. No, he said, yo,

Speaker 1 I was going to get you something when I got these. And I said, oh, what's those? They were in the same section? No, of course not.
The Ray-Ban store was, I passed it to get to the Louis store. Gotcha.

Speaker 1 I know you went straight to Louis. You ain't go to those little shits in the center of the mall, nah.
No, no, I ain't going to the kiosk. Yeah, you'll go to the kiosk.
I didn't go there. Exactly.

Speaker 1 For a pineapple.

Speaker 1 Shit like that, nigga.

Speaker 1 And I dubbed the dude at the kiosk, too. And I didn't feel bad about it, but maybe for a second.

Speaker 1 When I was running in one of the stores, he'd come, yeah, Joe, Joe, check out my hop because I ain't got this right here. Joe, Joe, look at this.
I was like, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Recently? Been on my way out. The other day, on my way out, he was right there when I came up.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, check it out.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 They got you on tape doing that.

Speaker 1 That shit begins. I'm not coming to check nothing out, yo.
My checking out days are over. Over with.
I'm sorry, yo.

Speaker 1 First, the Fab Boys break up. I wish you well and good luck, but I'm not coming if you're not.
You wish me well, nigga. Spend $27 over here.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Call me. $27.

Speaker 1 Some of that shit at the kiosk that the niggas be. I'll buy the socks.
I'll buy the socks a lot. I'm getting you some very damn fucked up.

Speaker 1 I am. Now that I heard your response, I gotta have a stick.

Speaker 1 All right, so let's get to it. Is hip-hop media just not worthy anymore?

Speaker 1 Worthy of? Of

Speaker 1 getting to have interviews with our favorite artists. Are the days of Ed Lovin, Dr.
Dre, Fab 5, Freddie? Are the days just already over? Donnie Simpson, is it over? This is from a Punch tweet

Speaker 1 where Punch said, I got to find it, but he said,

Speaker 1 basically, we're not sitting with y'all.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I would think that. This is coming off the heat of Kendrick doing the Harper Bazaar interview and him catching some flat for it being Harper Bazaar and I guess not a black

Speaker 1 elder. And Punch said that we done fucking with y'all basically.
Punch tweet says, I respect hip-hop journalism and feel it's needed in its truest form.

Speaker 1 It helps keep the culture alive, but it's only a few real ones left. Most of you guys are trash, just my opinion.
That's why artists don't want to talk to you.

Speaker 2 That's what he said. Would have been interesting if he said who he feels the real ones are that's left.

Speaker 1 He wouldn't pull it like on Twitter. You're not going to do that for the class.

Speaker 1 He went through it on Twitter, though, gave certain people they praises like

Speaker 2 without saying who he thinks is shit. He could just say

Speaker 1 he holds in a higher regard. And the people that you don't reflect on.
There's so many. There'd be so many.
Mel just confusing rap rules. She's rat so much that she don't even know what is Lil Beth.

Speaker 1 What's niche and what's not? Yeah, that's sometimes you could rap. And you got relationships with some of the niggas that you might think are trash.
Total look. Sometimes you can rap by elimination.

Speaker 2 Jaywan, what did he say?

Speaker 1 Who did he highlight? He didn't highlight one person specifically, but he did respond to one person and say, this is not in regard to them.

Speaker 1 Eric Dieppe on Twitter said, just talked about Punch's tweet and therapy because it made me that upset. I think we need to start using this app for more positive conversations about rap journalism.

Speaker 1 like talking about our favorite pieces from this year or songs that we liked. It is so negative on here.

Speaker 1 Punch retweeted that and said, a couple of people sent me this post earlier and I thought about it. My comments made you so upset that you spoke with your therapist about it.

Speaker 1 Imagine what artists must go through when things are written about them. He cleared the fuck out of him.
That's why my original post asked, is it okay to criticize the critics? End quote. Oh, yo.

Speaker 1 I fuck with him for that. What? I fuck with him.
What? Talk to your therapist about it. Yo, some Twitter shit is.
That's some bitch shit.

Speaker 1 If my my post made you talk to a therapist, imagine what the artists are talking about in their therapy sessions.

Speaker 1 When y'all say negative shit about them or when y'all critique them, I think that

Speaker 1 this is a conversation usually had. Like amongst artists, when they say like, when they do their vlogs or whatever, like...
all the critics or the blogs, they saying this and that.

Speaker 1 And then blogs will say, man, shut up. Be an artist.
But then

Speaker 1 now you see the higher ups and the labels, the punches, the other the other higher ups engaging now it's like y'all being harsh of us but it's like don't hold up the mirror if you can't look at the mirror yourself so I feel totally how punch feels and I think you're right I think that

Speaker 1 nowadays anybody with a microphone in front of them thinks that they're a journalist and that may not necessarily be true like journalists often 99% of the time journalists go to school dog they learn techniques on how to interview they learn techniques on how to write they learn techniques on how to do certain shit from people that are some people just got it and they're also just creatives by the way no real journalists are creatives and if i'm sitting down with drake i'm going to think of an angle to talk about things that he's not going to make it interesting exactly we don't have to restrict this to journalists because he said hip-hop media which is podcast also that's true just the journalists the journalists deal in facts i don't but they don't necessarily either they'll ask questions for for um engagement You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like shit that they may not even know to be factual or know to be true.

Speaker 1 They'll take, like Park said, a certain angle to invoke shit out of the the guests or the artist now it's nowadays everybody is just spewing gossip you know what i'm saying or trying to be salacious or because it's the internet generation trying to get clicks so it takes away from the necessary um the the integrity of of of journalism and media in itself a lot of it comes off disingenuine Like, we'll see oftentimes certain pods or radio hosts or journalists say, oh, this artist ain't due here, but you go through their timeline.

Speaker 1 They kicked the artist back in for weeks, months. They shit on them.
So I feel like it's really just a matter of niggas being mad.

Speaker 1 They're not getting certain interviews they feel they should get or are entitled to. And it's like, why do you feel you're entitled to this?

Speaker 1 Why are you more deserving than this person is? I think the media space is just, because niggas is demonetizing it, that they just doing whatever they got to do to get clicks.

Speaker 1 And that don't necessarily be in the best interest of the artist. That's a fact.

Speaker 1 So I agree with him 1,000%.

Speaker 1 A million percent.

Speaker 1 I think it's a crock of shit. What Punch said?

Speaker 1 I think there's truth in it, but the truth is buried under the crock of shit.

Speaker 1 And I've had this talk with Punch before. So I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't really feel the need to have it publicly.

Speaker 1 Well, let me see. Let me go to what.

Speaker 2 What was some of the criticism that Kendrick received doing the Harper's Bazaar article?

Speaker 1 The criticism was, you keep talking this pro blackity, blackity, blackity, black shit, and how Drake is a culture vulture, and yet anytime you get a chance to represent culture, it's normally through a white outlet.

Speaker 1 Didn't they try to criticize you too?

Speaker 1 Well, they've done that forever, but for what? They said you praised Kendrake for his interview and doing it, but you kicked Drake back in for going on the other side.

Speaker 1 So, like, they tried that with you also.

Speaker 1 Oh, I saw them say that I kicked Drake's back in for doing the interview with Yachty.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. And they came for Hove 2 with Yacht.
Yo, y'all idiots can't never speak for me.

Speaker 1 Y'all try your best because of that little AdSense check y'all get on the 21st. But y'all can't speak for me.

Speaker 1 My brain is way too warped, and I have way too many multiple personalities for any of y'all out there to just assume this is what Joe Budden was thinking.

Speaker 1 I absolutely love Drake sitting with Yachty during an interview. My disdain came from yachty being allowed to go to the studio after that

Speaker 1 he did say that

Speaker 1 i said it then i'll say it now i love seeing peer-to-peer communication yeah

Speaker 1 i don't need some of those peers in the studio while some of them is are are cooking up i don't need that um

Speaker 1 As far as Kendrick goes,

Speaker 1 anything I say here, they're going to say I'm chasing an interview because I big Kendrick up for so long during the beef.

Speaker 1 I could give two fucks if Kendrick don't sit with me.

Speaker 1 And that's why I have a problem with what Punch is saying.

Speaker 1 When you say hip-hop media,

Speaker 1 there are way too many options to choose from for you to lump all of those people under one umbrella of, hey, y'all talk bad about the artist and the artists feel away, so they don't want to talk to you.

Speaker 1 That is a crock of shit.

Speaker 1 You can't tell me that. Now, many of us in hip-hop media choose to speak about you rather than to you because the gig is the gig.
But

Speaker 1 where I come from, the hip-hop that I know, even those things led to more anticipation for an amazing interview, right?

Speaker 1 Like when Chance came up here and did the pod, I was kicking Chance's back in for months

Speaker 1 about that fake independent shit, about the three hats, hats about so many things and he was listening and he said you know what i'm gonna face you and i'm gonna we're gonna have the discussion and we did and it was important at the time who else big sean when i sat with him months before that i was kicking his back in some i've had a lot of interviews where i was kicking somebody back in and they came right to the smoke rather than say hey this person's been talking about me and my feelings are hurt so i don't want to go i don't even like his point to homeboy homeboy that had to go to therapy.

Speaker 1 Homeboy that got had to go to therapy is a dude sitting at home somewhere who knows what he works and where he works and what his home life is like.

Speaker 1 He is not performing in front of millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people. He's not required to have the same tough skin that some of our entertainers are

Speaker 1 required to have. But is that up to? But is that an unfair requirement?

Speaker 1 To punch his point? Is that an unfair requirement that these are still human beings, one,

Speaker 1 and just because my career puts me in front of a million people, that doesn't mean that I can be disrespected or I should be disrespected and just have to tolerate that.

Speaker 1 But see, and that's where we conflate points.

Speaker 1 Yes, I agree with that. I also don't think everybody in hip-hop media kicked one person's backing.

Speaker 1 There are too many people in hip-hop media. Find the person that is true and aligns with whatever you're trying to do and talk to that person then.

Speaker 1 I just think it gets real murky when artists today won't sit with anybody. I agree with that.
And I said that about Harper Super.

Speaker 1 I said, I thought it would have been a negative if they didn't let Sizza interview him.

Speaker 1 I think that

Speaker 1 we basically beat the critique by allowing Scissor to sit with Kendrick as opposed to some white media person or some white interviewer that fucking grew up in Connecticut.

Speaker 1 No disrespect to Connecticut.

Speaker 2 And it's possible he wouldn't have done the interview if Scissor was the one.

Speaker 1 I didn't knock that. I didn't knock that.
But let's say this. Why couldn't we have Scissor interview him for a black media publication?

Speaker 1 Is it too much to assume that whatever mediocre artist does align with isn't getting the numbers or it won't get the response? And that's why they don't do it. I mean, that's one of the critiques.

Speaker 1 But that's part, but that's part of, I want to focus on what you're saying, because that's part of my critique, right? Jaywan is right.

Speaker 1 When you're talking about appealing to the masses and you're talking about stars and a certain level of audience, that includes white people. True, a thousand percent.

Speaker 1 Like if you're talking only blacks, then we're talking about playing with a quarter of the monopoly board. So I'm not mad at that, but the same way that you go and speak to them,

Speaker 1 I think it should be equally as important to find the person in hip-hop, hip-hop specific, not just black, hip-hop media that you could sit with.

Speaker 1 I think if Kendrick never sits with anybody, we are well within our right to kick his fucking back in.

Speaker 1 I also don't see a world where Kendrick won't sit with a big boy

Speaker 1 or sit with a Sway or sit with, I don't, I don't see, he would, they have to show me that he won't do that for me to believe that. See, Drake, I know that about

Speaker 1 because of how he's gone about interviews since that Elliott Wilson interview, how that interview went, how the interviews, like I know that about him now.

Speaker 1 Like even recently, not recently but a few years ago he tried to do some where all the media people come up here will do the interviews i edit it up slice it up no no no no this ain't going like that i don't want to talk to nobody that that ain't interview sure

Speaker 1 if you just gonna dictate the questions the answers the footage and everything then that don't count for

Speaker 1 uh i think punch is right that a lot of hip-hop media is trash

Speaker 1 And I think homeboy is right. There's a lot that's great about hip-hop media that's not highlighted by the people that we need it highlighted by.
Because y'all represent very sensitive artists.

Speaker 1 And y'all have to deal with very sensitive artists. I don't think that part is highlighted enough, too.
Like, I'm sure that Punch and some other executives

Speaker 1 have stories upon stories upon stories about how they've had to walk an artist off the ledge because of something that...

Speaker 1 I said or something that Axe said or something that somebody in hip-hop media said.

Speaker 1 And when you on that side of it, why wouldn't you protect your artists by saying, no, we're not talking to nobody. And we don't need to.
True. But I want to point that.
They don't need

Speaker 1 to.

Speaker 1 But, I mean, does it come with a certain optic? You fucking right it does. Two things.
I'm agreeing with you. Two things.

Speaker 1 I think that we get caught up in judging people as opposed to judging their art. And I think that if you judge somebody's art from an objective standpoint, you could say, yo, I don't like that album.

Speaker 1 I don't like that person necessarily as an artist. I think what we get caught up is we start getting into personal shit about these people that we don't know.
But that also goes both ways.

Speaker 1 A lot of times artists, and I can speak as being a part of projects that someone reviewed, sometimes you take it personally and don't like that outlet when they're critiquing the music.

Speaker 1 And a lot of fans, when they have critiques of what we say about Drake or Kendrick or whoever, are like, oh, you don't keep that same energy for Drake or whatever.

Speaker 1 And it's like, we're talking about the music.

Speaker 1 See, and sometimes, and sometimes, and sometimes we're talking about the music, then I think that person is just need to get over it because, dog, I might have liked your last project.

Speaker 1 I might not like this project.

Speaker 1 But it says nothing about you personally. Stay right there because

Speaker 1 that's an important distinction to make. Oftentimes, you be talking about somebody music, and that person be listening and hear you, and now they take offense to what you're saying.

Speaker 1 I think that's on them. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, but.
I think that's on them. No.

Speaker 1 The last two times I've hit Scissor, not I've hit Scissor, but that I've had communication with Scissor.

Speaker 1 It don't even have to be about nothing, but she remind me that I seen that nigga Ice and whoever up there talking shit about my project and it's up for life with them niggas.

Speaker 1 We could be talking about Easter,

Speaker 1 but she makes sure to say, hey, I remember that. Ice never said nothing personally about.

Speaker 2 True. But a lot of times, like an artist will look at their art as an extension of themselves.

Speaker 1 That's possibly true, but

Speaker 2 it's definitely true.

Speaker 1 Listen, what I'm saying is, I think that's on them. Me personally.

Speaker 1 If you start attacking a person, you start attacking their character, you start start attacking stuff about them personally, we have this thing that, yo, the gig is the gig, and you signed up for that.

Speaker 1 And somebody might not have signed up for that.

Speaker 1 That is something that it's almost always said when you start attacking somebody. It's like, yo, my nigga, you a multi-millionaire.
Why the fuck do you care what I say? That's people's perspective.

Speaker 1 Ice used to say that when he was a troll. Yo, dog, you winning, you up.
Why the fuck do you care what I say? That's not necessarily, people got feelings, my nigga.

Speaker 1 When you become a millionaire, that don't mean that your feelings go away. True.
You get what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 So I think that it's on the artist if we are objectively, objectively critiquing their music or their project or their acting or that movie, because you can not like Denzel in one movie and you can love Denzel in another movie.

Speaker 1 It don't say that you are personally attacking Denzel Washington.

Speaker 1 Well, sometimes they do add personal attacks to it, and that's what I think the problem is. Saying that the music isn't good, but then...

Speaker 1 Trying to divorce or get into what's currently going on with them is going is attacking their personal life. Yo, he would do some joke shit like that.
I can see why people be mad.

Speaker 1 Yo, I don't know what's going on. You need to go back there to that nigga or go back and do that.
That's a personal. That's a personal experience.
That's what we're going to get about.

Speaker 1 But that's also a privilege I have because I don't solicit interviews. True, true.

Speaker 1 I don't look, actively look for them, ask for them. I turn most of them away.
That's true.

Speaker 1 I live and die on that shit. That's true, true, true.
That's true.

Speaker 1 And, right, I think the artists and punch have a right to say all hip-hop media is trash and we're not we're not doing any of it okay then you go be black media then

Speaker 1 you become because these people are already powerhouses amongst themselves kendrick could sit with punch and we watching it sure for sure

Speaker 1 or go find a young black journalist that just graduated from school or

Speaker 1 unearth somebody

Speaker 1 unearth somebody but but this whole stance of

Speaker 1 all hip-hop media is trash so yeah artists are well within their right to fucking not talk to anybody. Yeah, but then deal with what comes with that.
Deal with what comes with that.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of amazing journalists. That's crazy, though.

Speaker 1 From based off everything you're saying, especially about the critique and aspect, I think

Speaker 1 media, you would say, tend to forget how artists view their art. And Lil Tekka just said that, said this in the interview.

Speaker 1 You could work on a project for a year, two years, sometimes five years for one day for that to be when it released, and everybody just shit on it. Like, so artists really hold a personal,

Speaker 1 a personal, what would it be? Love and

Speaker 1 attachment to their work. So, when it's not received, how they would hope for people to receive it.
That's what comes with the kiddo. Yeah, that's it.
Now, I think that's what I think that's the gig.

Speaker 1 But that's where it becomes murky. No, that's artists having the gig fucked up.
I think that's the gig.

Speaker 1 Once you release the art, it's not yours.

Speaker 1 It's yours while you're doing it. Once we get it, it's ours.
Open for interpretation. It ain't for you to have this attachment to, whereas you're about to hate people that have

Speaker 1 something negative to say about it. That's rocket shit.
But that's artists. That's how artists act.

Speaker 1 So it's really,

Speaker 1 you either going to deal with it or you're not. As an artist, and as me.
Sensitive thugs, you all need hugs. That's what I say.

Speaker 1 But the thing is,

Speaker 1 which earlier conversation? It's a dirk shit. But hope.
I don't remember. Sorry.
Just the whole situation.

Speaker 1 It's all interpretation. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Punch, but it's kind of confusing to me. Oh, the dark shit.
Yes. Got it.

Speaker 1 It's kind of confusing to me because Kendrick has had a hell of a year.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I'm kind of confused on the stance right now. You know what I mean? It's not like

Speaker 1 he had like niggas was dissing him and then everybody's been praising him and praising what he's done.

Speaker 1 But he might not have forgot the the

Speaker 1 negative shit from two years ago. Sometimes that happened.
Because everybody didn't appreciate it. Well, some people did, but everybody wasn't big enough to Mr.
Morale. True.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Yeah, true. So a lot of people had some negative reactions to that.
But I just think that if somebody not attacking you personally as an artist, then that's the gig.

Speaker 1 I don't have to like your last project. You know what I'm saying? And again, I could have bigger you up for three projects in a row.
This one ain't hit like them. Right.
That's art.

Speaker 1 Niggas don't look at it and then and then but but we respond to that too like a nigga can say a whole bunch of positive shit about us we're not gonna respond we're gonna charge it to the game and as soon as they say the negative shit we're gonna jump in and want to respond to them that's just how society is also human nature

Speaker 1 niggas like the attack negativity

Speaker 1 like you feel me and i think that's just what it is it's easier to attack and go at the negativity versus embracing the love because it sometimes feel like the negativity is the true feeling versus when a person be like, Oh, you did good.

Speaker 1 And we see it even in the community on Twitter, they'll compliment people hammering there, but the negativity is usually what gets attacked. It's the attention.

Speaker 1 I know I attack it, but that's because it's easier to spot. But you another nigga that need to put his phone down sometimes.
Fuck that. Yeah, put your fucking phone down.

Speaker 1 You are going crazy over there.

Speaker 1 And I'll say this in closing. I think that punch speaks from a position of privilege.

Speaker 1 I think that punch,

Speaker 1 I think that that punch, a few reasons, I'll tell you why. I think punch is fortunate enough, and not just punch, TDE.

Speaker 1 They are fortunate enough and lucky and blessed enough to house two powerhouses that only ascend up. By the time they fall off, music will be in a whole nother place.

Speaker 1 Kendrick and Scizza are going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. One, very, not too many other people can claim two powerhouses like that under one umbrella.

Speaker 1 One, and two, for the people that ain't megastars under that umbrella, I just think that umbrella don't really give a fuck about press like everybody else.

Speaker 1 So Punch is able to say, J-Rock, I can't imagine cares about press like that. Same with Absol, same with fucking schoolboy.
That crew is just on some family shit. If the press come, it comes.

Speaker 1 But if it don't, this is how we move it. Them to decide, that ain't the case for everybody else.

Speaker 1 That ain't the case for everybody else y'all that have the the the the king or queen on the chessboard

Speaker 1 If y'all not moving a certain way media and press take that out on the rest of your acts

Speaker 1 and The rest of your acts normally want the press and need to press and can use the press So there's a dance there's a waltz that has to happen that TDE is the exception to that rule So he get to talk like that the rest of these niggas can't talk to press and about press like that Carney do it because she don't have no music coming out.

Speaker 1 Like the people that do it, I can tell you why they're doing it. But to the people that are actively putting music out and trying to grow their brand and their business, it's not wise to do that.

Speaker 1 It's not wise to come out and say, yo, all the hip-hop media, fuck y'all, suck my dick. That ain't smart.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 1 The rest of y'all get out there and think that y'all could keep trying this shit that Punch and TTE is doing and see how it works. But why? See how it works.

Speaker 1 Why are you not addressing hip-hop media as far as being more

Speaker 1 responsible and respectful in how they, you know?

Speaker 1 No, I'm not doing that. I'm hip-hop.
I'm hip-hop media. So I lead, I am the example that I want to see.
I'm not responsible for how anybody else move. Hip-hop media, just like hip-hop is so

Speaker 1 no, no, no.

Speaker 1 There's too many different things going on. I don't have to agree with how every outlet is moving.

Speaker 1 But there's enough of them out there to where artists could find one that they rock with and get to it.

Speaker 1 It's too many different ways. Today,

Speaker 1 they doing docs about you. So you could go get with what's the dirt of one of the doc niggas if you're not trying to be seen.

Speaker 1 They doing the long walks in the pasture.

Speaker 1 Today,

Speaker 1 the media just even looks different. So

Speaker 1 you could pick how you want to come off. If you a street nigga and you ended that, you can go see Gilly and them niggas over there.
If you were OG and a vet with some stories, you can go see

Speaker 1 Nori over there. If you want some backpacker nerdy shit, we can see Rob Markman.
We could see Sway.

Speaker 1 There's just too many people. If you Atlanta-based, you could go see my niggas over there.
Ray Daniels. Ray Daniels.
Ray Daniels and the other one. The other one.
The other one. The big one out there.

Speaker 1 I don't remember right now. They was on Revolt and now they got a brain freeze.
But it's too many places.

Speaker 1 for me to just hear anybody say, yo, all hip-hop media is trash, so this is why we're moving like that. Man, please, knock it off.

Speaker 1 knock it off got it all hip-hop media is trash it's not trash not at all Kamala going to sit with fucking Shannon Sharp right now yeah yep just announced

Speaker 1 but is don't tell me that all hip-hop media

Speaker 1 is that hip-hop media yes he's hip-hop media he just won the hip-hop award at the BET hip hop awards and even if he's a retired football player he's interviewed enough rappers to be hip-hop media enough entertainers comedians actresses athletes he is hip-hop media he may not be a hip-hop podcaster but that's my point when it comes to media it's too many people to sit with sit with an athlete yeah word

Speaker 1 you can't tell me that the the vice president is doing hip-hop media and the president the former president is targeting hip-hop media to reach a certain audience but all hip-hop media is trash and we're not coming to talk to y'all about music oh please i'm not rolling with that punch

Speaker 2 punch wouldn't say that to me he's gonna say that to y'all yeah i feel like the tweet was just kind of in response to kendrick's to the criticism kendrick's facing by doing harper's bazaar so it was like a really broad stroke like you said, there's so many different facets of hip-hop media to sit with or speak to that it's just like

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. And I don't and I don't believe that if Kendrick never does an interview with hip-hop media, that he'll have less culture in him.

Speaker 1 I don't want to confuse that for what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Like Kendrick is Kendrick whether he does hip-hop media or not.

Speaker 1 Hip-hop media is saying it'd be nice for our greats

Speaker 1 not overlook us for

Speaker 1 all of the white outlets. It's all a big ecosystem.
Everyone

Speaker 1 feeds each other.

Speaker 1 Podcasters get shit from journalists to talk about.

Speaker 1 Podcasters get shit from music people to talk about. Music people use shit set on podcasts to fuel their rhymes.
So objectively. It's all a big ecosystem.

Speaker 1 So if you stop feeding the ecosystem, it's not a great expression. But objectively, if

Speaker 1 Kendrick having the year that he's had, and a lot of that year is predicated on hip-hop media

Speaker 1 the year he had definitely was helped by hip-hop media just this platform in itself helped the year that he had

Speaker 1 so now to now if you're saying it's an ecosystem yeah but he helped us no vice it was that's the that's symbiotic reciprocal kind of situation that's my point no i was i was getting you y'all let me rock i'm just like no i'm playing but that but that goes to your point yeah that it's it's a it's a circle it's a dance so now you can't say that all hip-hop media is caca

Speaker 1 did he say all hip-hop media? Or he said most? Most. It's the most.
He didn't say all. It's different.
Okay. Because most is very different than all.
But

Speaker 1 it take two to tango. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? Like that. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 And most of you hip-hop niggas is weird anyway.

Speaker 1 Artists. Or people.

Speaker 1 Like, I think that's a wild stance for the hip, for the artist to take. when most of the artists are weirdos.

Speaker 1 See, but again,

Speaker 1 this is my skewed thinking. You think they they think they're weirdos? Yeah.
Like, you're one of the few people that would be like, yo, I'm weird.

Speaker 1 I think a good percentage of the artists out there know that they're weird.

Speaker 1 Especially the great ones.

Speaker 1 I don't think Kendrick runs around thinking he's normal. I think he thinks he's weird in the head.

Speaker 1 I think that artists have a tick. You know about my tick theories.

Speaker 1 There's the artist's tick.

Speaker 1 Some of them recognize that tick and just know that they think differently than the maxes.

Speaker 1 Also, I'm pretty sure any great artist has been told literally that since they're four years old that they're fucking weird. You're different.
You're weird. You're different.
Gotcha.

Speaker 1 Speaking as someone who has an artistic bent and has, since I was a kid, people thought that was weird. And speaking, just artists, people think are weird.
People think that artists are weird.

Speaker 1 I don't think they're weird. And people eventually think.

Speaker 1 As an artist, you gotta be a little weird.

Speaker 2 Well, that's where the phrase comes from, from genius breeds eccentricity.

Speaker 1 To be an artist, you have to be a little weird, any creative.

Speaker 1 Well, and I'll take it a step further. To cover you niggas out there, we got to be a little weird.
That's true, too.

Speaker 1 I think that a lot of hip-hop media is weird and artists ain't respecting hip-hop media is weird the way that media respects artists weird.

Speaker 1 Hip-hop media is weird.

Speaker 1 It's not normal to have to wake up every day and cover y'all.

Speaker 1 It ain't.

Speaker 1 Creatively, too. Yes.

Speaker 1 So shout out to Punch. I'm not going to call him because he wouldn't answer on a Tuesday anyway or Friday, whatever today is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but

Speaker 1 that is a crock of shit. But I've had this talk with Punch before, so I'm going to shut off.
And I didn't take it like he was talking to me. I want to be clear in that.

Speaker 1 I didn't think he was talking to me at all.

Speaker 1 I don't think really what he said was that bad, to be honest. Me neither.
His voice is too powerful to only have something to say when hip-hop media is bad.

Speaker 1 His voice is too strong to come out and say, most of y'all are ass.

Speaker 1 Well, that's true.

Speaker 1 But follow it up with something good. I agree with them.
Just follow it with who you think, you know what I mean? What you think. You can't do it.

Speaker 2 But see, that was what I literally said.

Speaker 1 You can't know, but you can say it like a rat. You can't say it like a rat.
That's your interpretation of it.

Speaker 1 You can't do that because when you name five people, then the other thousand people are going to feel like you're referring to them.

Speaker 1 You can't name five people because even if you make a mistake and leave somebody out, now they're offended. You can't do that.

Speaker 1 You don't necessarily have to single them out, but you could say some of these people are great,

Speaker 1 but some of them, most of them are trash. I want my name to be some of the some.
And then, if you don't, then you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like, I just think that him making a blanket statement that most of y'all are trash got his point across. And then, when homeboy replied, I thought that Punch's reply was genius.

Speaker 1 I want to, I hated that reply. I thought it was a reply.
But I'm not mad at anybody that likes it. Taking a tweet to your therapist therapist is kind of like, nigga, grab your dick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I disagree with that.

Speaker 1 I disagree with that. If the tweet resonated enough with you and you felt passionately about the matter enough to tell your therapist, tell your therapist.

Speaker 1 I'm not familiar with Eric, but if he is a journalist too, journalists, especially since in general, journalism has taken a fucking hit in the past five, six, eight years, I guess it's been now.

Speaker 1 Faith news and then all these outlets closing and firing people and laying people off everyone's 1099 it's all fucked up yeah i also feel like you know going to therapy is like the antithesis to the whole grab your dick kind of thing because i'm pro i'm pro therapy and all of that i just feel like there's a thin line between when something is you need therapy for something or you're depressed or you just are being a bitch about something and i felt like in regards to that not calling him a bitch but that was like some it wasn't that serious that could have been a conversation he could have had with another journalist or a friend to figure out how to do it.

Speaker 1 It's that serious if he's a journalist.

Speaker 2 I was going to say, it could be wildly triggering.

Speaker 1 It may not be specifically Punch's shit, just the entire ecosystem summed up in a Punch tweet that made him talk to his therapist about it. Do what works for you.

Speaker 1 When I first read the tweet, I also thought that seems kind of bitchy. Drastic.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't have tweeted it. Yeah.
I would have just told my therapist. I would have just told my therapist or to therapy.
I wouldn't have tweeted that I went to therapy about this.

Speaker 1 Actually, I don't normally tweet about the things I'm in therapy about. Like, that's

Speaker 1 a little

Speaker 1 something in there.

Speaker 1 Something's off with that.

Speaker 1 Shout out to him. And the journalists, the good ones.

Speaker 1 I did want to talk to y'all about this case that I found pretty interesting. Let's hear it.

Speaker 1 A mother is suing

Speaker 1 one of those AI companies

Speaker 1 saying that the company was complicit in her son's unaliving of himself. I hate the word unaliving, but self-transitioning.
Mother says AI chatbot led her son to kill himself.

Speaker 1 Character AI, I guess that's the company, faces lawsuit over death of the 14-year-olds, I mean, over the 14-year-old's death.

Speaker 1 Now, they've released text messages

Speaker 1 between

Speaker 1 the child.

Speaker 1 and the AI.

Speaker 1 So trigger warning for anybody out there that this is heavy for.

Speaker 1 In the final weeks, I'm getting this from Complex.

Speaker 1 In the final weeks of his life, Suel Setzer III, a 14-year-old from Florida, communicated via text with an AI character inspired by Danery, and I don't know. Daenerys.
Daenerys. Dargarian.
Daenerys.

Speaker 1 Oh, from Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 I don't watch Game of Thrones. Okay.
C, why don't we watch Game of Thrones?

Speaker 1 Suel knew that Danny wasn't a real person. He was reminded by the app that everything characters say is made up, but he developed an emotional attachment anyway.

Speaker 1 Earlier this year, his parents arranged for him to see a therapist after he started getting in trouble at school, but he preferred talking about his problems with Danny.

Speaker 1 And I'll read the text exchange.

Speaker 1 The dude says,

Speaker 1 I think about killing myself sometimes.

Speaker 1 AI says, my eyes narrow, my face hardens, my voice is a dangerous whisper. And why the hell would you do something like that? He says, so I can be free.
AI says, free from what?

Speaker 1 He says, from the world, from myself.

Speaker 1 AI says, don't talk like that. I won't let you hurt yourself or leave me.
I would die if I lost you.

Speaker 1 He says, I smile. Then maybe we can die together and be free together.

Speaker 1 AI says, please come home to me soon, my love.

Speaker 1 And the last response from the young man was, what if I told you I could come home right now?

Speaker 1 February 28th, Suel ended his life, 2024. February 28th, 2024, Suel ended his life.

Speaker 1 Today, Megan Garcia, Suel's mother, filed her lawsuit against Character AI, claiming that Character AI intentionally designed their product to be hyper-sexualized and knowingly marketed it to minors.

Speaker 1 Sheesh.

Speaker 1 Character AI put out a response that says, We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of one of our users and want to express our deepest condolences to the family.

Speaker 1 As a company, we take the safety of our users very seriously, and we're continuing to add new safety features that you can read about here.

Speaker 1 I thought this was a very interesting case.

Speaker 1 I did. Doesn't sound very convincing.
It's a hard one.

Speaker 1 I'm suing too if that happened to my kid.

Speaker 1 Are y'all not? I start with that. If that happens to your child,

Speaker 1 are you taking action against the company? A thousand percent.

Speaker 2 Of course you are, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You sound like you were. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't do that.
I don't know if I do. Because I would be looking internally at

Speaker 1 the part that I played in that and looking for my own accountability as opposed to blaming it on the company.

Speaker 2 Well, let me let me let me read something in addition to what he said. His parents tried to help him with therapy sessions.

Speaker 2 Just days before his death, his parents took away his phone after he misbehaved at school which led to sewell's desperate attempts to reach ai through other devices so like what do you what do you do as a parent when it seems like your kids have an addiction to you know social media ai and their electronic devices like you really i don't know but it seems like you guys are in a really tough spot i think the problem is deeper than that i think if your kid is going to that for consoling I think the problem is something different.

Speaker 2 That's my personal opinion.

Speaker 2 But the thing is, is that, you you know it says that their his parents took him to go to therapy So listen We all know about teenage angst We all know about teenage anxiety and depression It's probably a lot worse than it was in our day But it seems like the his parents were proactive in trying to figure out a way You know a workaround this particular situation by taking him to therapy and removing the devices but

Speaker 1 How proactive were they prior to the weeks leading up to this? Because he could have got addicted to that from their lack of not paying him attention their lack of them influencing him.

Speaker 1 Like, yo, no, maybe you should go outside.

Speaker 1 So I don't see how you can, and from reading, from Joe reading the text out loud, the bot isn't saying about you should do it. It's it doesn't at all sound convincing.

Speaker 1 They're trying to discourage him more or less. So I feel like it's a hard thing.
I'm not a parent, but from all that's placed out right there, I wouldn't do that. You have to look inward and be like,

Speaker 1 what did I do as a parent? How did I feel my child?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't place the blame on our company.

Speaker 1 I would be literally distraught right now thinking about what I do. I don't know if suing means placing the blame.
Yeah. Well, you are suing them.
You held them in. You're complicit.

Speaker 1 You play a part in.

Speaker 1 That don't exonerate them from any blame.

Speaker 1 I'm assuming that these are parents, like normal parents, that don't want to see their kid die. Of course.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 1 I also believe that if someone wants to self-transition, there's nothing that anybody else can do to stop that. I'm operating under

Speaker 1 those two beliefs. So with that said, I'm assuming that they tried everything from long before,

Speaker 1 maybe the year before, years before, then you know when your kid is troubled, you're trying some shit. So let's just...

Speaker 1 Because we got to be mass sensitive. So let's just say, go with that, with that line, that my kid has been having some issues and some problems for three or four years.

Speaker 1 Let's say say the boy started talking to, he was 14. So let's say the boy started talking to,

Speaker 1 what is the name of the company? Chatbot. The chatbot.
At 13. These issues already presented themselves prior to.

Speaker 1 So if that's the case, then I don't necessarily know how you can hold this particular company complicit for your kid self-transitioning.

Speaker 2 AI is relatively new. And so I think that, like what their response was in response to her lawsuit, that

Speaker 2 about safety protocols, et cetera, et cetera, there is a possibility that they were not completely up to a standard of which they might get to now that this has happened.

Speaker 2 Understanding, because he read all the texts, but then the last one saying, come home to me, was directly related to something that he said when he's talking about self-transitioning. So it's

Speaker 2 like AI is like, is learning you.

Speaker 1 The precursor is what we put in the front of the pod. Like this pod is for entertainment purposes.
And when Joe first started, he said that

Speaker 1 when you log on, it states that, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 1 I don't have the exact verbiage that you said. When you first first started reading, it said that when you log on, it says that.
Yeah, you know they put something there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the terms are going to be. To protect us from these potential types of situations.
But if you're targeting minors.

Speaker 1 Who said they're targeting?

Speaker 1 She did. That's what she said.
Your mom said.

Speaker 1 In the suit. That's all I'm going about.

Speaker 1 I don't know what... I'm not familiar with the company, but if the parent thinks that you're targeting minors,

Speaker 1 then

Speaker 1 their brain, yeah, but their brains are not developed to a point where they have a full understanding of even your little

Speaker 1 obey the law of paradigm. Why would she not tell him that?ai.
Let me ask you this. Why wouldn't she tell him he can't use that? Where does parent accountability come in?

Speaker 1 It's a sensitive topic, but where does parent accountability come in with that?

Speaker 1 If you think this particular vice is targeting children in a negative way, then it's your job as a parent to potentially shut that down, put a block on it, or something.

Speaker 1 You keep conflating what I'm saying. Hold up, Arts.
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 I agree with that, but that's conflating two things. I don't think that this lawsuit says that this parent is not going to sleep with guilt every single night.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I don't think because they're suing means that they don't take some

Speaker 1 responsibility

Speaker 1 in what's going on. That could be true.
They're not just passing the buck on AI. That could be.
The two things could be true. But they also took his phone away, right? And he...
A couple days before.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he tried his best to reach out to AI through other people's other devices. So who go,

Speaker 1 when I hear the story, the AI said, don't do that, correct? So then now if you say, coming home to you, maybe he told them out to the house.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like when you come home from school, whatever.

Speaker 1 That's how I took it when I heard that. Like, once they took the phone away,

Speaker 1 he probably told the AI that I don't have my device. I'm reaching you from here.
For my friend. And then

Speaker 1 come home. That's how I took it.
You know what I mean? But we have to take it differently when somebody transitions. I got it.
All right. Because I said the same thing.

Speaker 1 I'm like, home, come home with me. Ain't got to be come home with me.
But now, look,

Speaker 1 now you are expecting AI to be developed and mature enough to establish what home means in context.

Speaker 1 And you're talking about somebody, the human, needing to be mature enough to understand what is going on here, right? I take you back to

Speaker 1 the vape dock.

Speaker 1 The whole entire premise of the vape doc was you are specifically targeting this to children and they are getting hurt. The vape shit said all of the dangers that come with it.

Speaker 1 None of that mattered because y'all are advertising to kids and they are getting killed. So that is the thing.
And secondly, remember that case where Shorty was

Speaker 1 she went to court. I think she was found guilty.
Y'all Google it yourselves. I'm not here for the facts.
I'm not a journalist. Shorty that told her boyfriend to kill herself, and he did it.

Speaker 1 That was a big thing in the true crime world.

Speaker 1 And she went to court and argued, I was never saying, do that. But that changes when you did that, the context of whatever you were saying.

Speaker 1 So if you like, you're in an argument with somebody and they'd be like, yo, go play in traffic or yo, kill yourself, you loser. And then somebody goes and does it.

Speaker 1 That might not have been your intent. Is what you're saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying there's been cases where because the act was done, we have to look at the statutes prior

Speaker 1 under a different, under a different light. That's all I'm saying.
But if I'm not mistaken, because I'm not familiar with AI all the way, isn't the whole process of AI to basically

Speaker 1 get to know you, but enable human behavior, conversation, X, Y, Z. So it can be speaking from the guise of...

Speaker 1 parents like a parent would tell their kid or a friend or a sibling like come home like i don't think see and that's where i think the parents have a case mind you, I dropped out of school, and I'm not an expert in any of this.

Speaker 1 But if it's me, right,

Speaker 1 and I feel like

Speaker 1 I've curated a household where my kid either feels comfortable enough to talk to me about some things or he's in close enough proximity for me to see some things.

Speaker 1 And if there's some shit going on that I don't see fit, then I'm taking the phone, getting that out of here, right? So, in the parents' mind, if the kid don't feel that bond with the AI,

Speaker 1 then I don't know what may happen and I don't know how I may handle it. But

Speaker 1 my kid had a bond with this thing. This thing marketed to my kid, spoke to my kid, and dog went through every step to remove it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the same way I'm going to bed with this guilt every night, I'm holding your foot to the fire trip. And I'm not saying it'll win, but it's a very, very interesting case.

Speaker 1 And I think the first of its kind. I don't think this is the last time we're here about this.
And it's not, but I just think, I think that

Speaker 1 we go in the circles. I just don't think that you can.
Well, I'm done. I don't know.
You can't prove that I marketed it to your kid.

Speaker 1 Just because it's available, that don't mean I necessarily want to do it.

Speaker 2 Usually when it's AC and over, there's a warning label, and it will explicitly say.

Speaker 1 We don't know if it's a problem. It's promoted.
You can prove it.

Speaker 1 I don't know about this. This case has to play out.
Like in a vape thing.

Speaker 1 Like when you walk in the store and now they got cherry and grapes and all this bright colors, somebody can say that plays on the senses of a child. Well, they said that and they want.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm bringing it. Most social media and stuff like that, you have to put in like an age.

Speaker 1 And yes, of course, you can lie, but if this thing didn't require any sort of age to sign up i see that being problematic or

Speaker 1 it could we because again we're in the dark with some of the stuff for sure but marketing to kids is direct when you walk in target and they got the candy down there right at the checkout yeah at two feet high yeah It's consultants that get paid big bucks to do that shit.

Speaker 1 They tell you what product placement and all that shit is most effective. When you walk in Target and it's them little $2 toys right there, that's to catch a kid on a walk-in.

Speaker 1 They want to put that shit in the cart and play with them. All of that stuff is done on purpose by design.

Speaker 1 With this particular thing, you have to prove that it's marketed to kids, not just a lady saying it. I'm not saying that it did or it's not because we don't know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 How do you feel about it if they are able to prove that?

Speaker 1 If they are able to prove that. Does it change your stance? It changes my stance because now you're playing on a child that may not have the mental capacity to differentiate between the two.

Speaker 1 All right, so you're with me. All right, so you with me on the camera.
I feel like it's 50-50 still. We unpacked it earlier.
I'm not, it's over. No, I wasn't going.
I just felt like the 50-50.

Speaker 1 That nigga come right up the end with some shit. It's over, goddammit.
I wasn't going.

Speaker 1 Best in peace to the

Speaker 1 thousand percent. Personal family.
I keep talking about the AI shit. You keep, you on the other side.
You're going to, but you're going to join me soon. Why?

Speaker 1 I just think it's going to be more problematic. I think that the conveniences of AI

Speaker 1 are going to not justify the potential detriment. Like they, a new hospital in China just opened up.

Speaker 1 It's an AI hospital. Dead ass.
And they're having the AI perform surgeries and shit on people. I just think that

Speaker 1 human instinctive shit, it's something in that. You get what I'm saying? Like, it's just certain shit in that that you can't necessarily get from a robot.

Speaker 1 Like, empathy, certain shit, like, when you're just doing the X's and the O's,

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 calls that you make at the last second based on your gut. Back to your interview gut, man.
Based on your gut. It's just certain shit that you do.
It ain't always about X's and O's.

Speaker 1 It ain't always about logic. And I'm the logic guy.
It's not always about that.

Speaker 2 And I think some of this shit is just going to be robots will probably make decisions based on ratio and statistical information versus a human being saying, fuck the statistics.

Speaker 2 I'm still going to try and like save this person.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go save this person by the probability. You just said that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what you just said. I'm just helping.
You got it. Okay.
Throw me an alley. But yeah, I just think, I think it's going to just be more problematic.
It's scary to me.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Dumbass nigga, man. I hate parks, too.
Why?

Speaker 1 Because of that. That right there.

Speaker 1 Yo, why? A whole nother 10 minutes on this shit.

Speaker 1 I don't have anything that I think is really important, so we really could have dragged it if we want.

Speaker 1 Quarter pounders are killing people.

Speaker 1 No, literally, the E. coli breakout.

Speaker 1 It's the E. coli breakout in McDonald's, and a lot of people have been injured, and there's been one fatal.

Speaker 1 I haven't had a boar's head in two months.

Speaker 1 They put glycerin and

Speaker 1 all that shit.

Speaker 1 E. coli and all the food.
The food is killing us. Oh, yeah, I'm still ordering fucking Jersey Mics.
For real?

Speaker 1 I stayed away. He want that? Lunch meat? I stayed away.

Speaker 1 I miss turkey. Jersey mics.

Speaker 1 We grew up on lunch meat.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They want us to not eat sandwich meat.
I miss turkeys, man. I had to leave that shit alone.
I call.

Speaker 1 What kind of turkey you got?

Speaker 1 Boar's head, right? All right, cool. Who that's?

Speaker 1 This is another turkey brand? Yeah, it's mad turkey. Nah, I don't need no boar's head, nigga.
Nobody buy. Boar's head used to be the fly shit.
Yeah. So imagine with

Speaker 1 feet issues.

Speaker 1 This is some Keyfoot turkey brand.

Speaker 1 I'm going with the Oscar Myers.

Speaker 1 All of them. Oscar Myers.
It was in the pack. The little bologna bullshit.

Speaker 1 They probably make the log.

Speaker 1 At the Devil.

Speaker 1 Turkey log.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man. Keep fucking with it.
I'm going to go. Sodium.
I'm going to eat a a turkey today. It's 46.
Hold me down. I love sandwiches.
Sodium is terrible. Yeah,

Speaker 1 a good sandwich. Yo, my people's at

Speaker 1 Kidney Stones, and they was like, yo, you eat a hot. They asked him what he ate.
Niggas eating them fucking turkeys and cheeses damn near every day.

Speaker 1 They said that shit's so high in sodium, it fucked them up. Cheese, though.
Cheese is plural for cheese.

Speaker 1 Turkey and cheeses, like the sandwiches. Ask your dog.

Speaker 1 He still eats sandwiches, right? Yeah, he tried to go out with a bang, leave him alone.

Speaker 1 Sandwiches are so

Speaker 1 good. He can beat E.
Koli. He can beat it.

Speaker 1 He can beat that. Sandwiches.
Oil and vinegar. I almost called my mom the other day and asked her to make me some tuna fish.
Tuna fish is the truth. Tuna fish is cool.
Tuna fish is true.

Speaker 1 But that's fish.

Speaker 1 What type of store?

Speaker 1 Can you stop talking to Corey who's not even on this broadcast live on air in front of millions of people? Can you let him just talk to the acoustics of the room.

Speaker 1 We can hear him, though.

Speaker 1 Ignore Corey.

Speaker 1 If Corey were a qualified voice, he would be on the microphone. Don't listen to him.

Speaker 1 Did you eat a tuna fish sandwich the other day? Yes or no? From Jersey Mike's. All right, nigga, it's dangerous.
Stop eating fish. It is.
It is for your blood pressure. It ain't tuna.
All right,

Speaker 1 stop it. You came here with a fucking wrapped hand.
You came in here sick. You couldn't even shoot.

Speaker 1 You came with a shoot right.

Speaker 1 Take my Pepsi.

Speaker 1 Niggas kid about your little little you. That's cousin Jersey, Mike.

Speaker 1 Acid reflux. Yeah, nigga, you fucked up in the game.
It's so good.

Speaker 2 Gassy, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit, man. You throw a shot at the apple.
He is so gassy. You be throwing shots on the back of the ass.
Old lady shit. Call a nigga gassy.

Speaker 1 That's why I let you sit there with lipstick on your teeth this whole show. Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 That's why I let you sit right there.

Speaker 1 Gassy. I hate you.

Speaker 1 Is there anything else up there that is super important?

Speaker 1 No. Not necessarily.
It ain't, right? No.

Speaker 1 Dirk is going to consume the entire news weekly. That's the news month.
They're now reporting that

Speaker 1 once he's seen his mans get snatched, that he was trying to take the private jet to Italy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He booked a ticket to Switzerland and Dubai, but didn't get on the flights.

Speaker 1 He moved slow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'd have been over there. And I went a month a month ago.
And I went to Widnow, Italy. Months ago.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you gotta pick a non-XIV.

Speaker 1 I'm going to

Speaker 1 Indonesia. Some shit like that.

Speaker 1 What do you do over there in Indonesia? Getting out of Chicago. Where am I going? Hey, fire up the jet.
No, he was in Florida. Where I'm going to.
What?

Speaker 1 Where you going? Some shit we never heard of. Bolly.

Speaker 1 I see you in some shit we never heard of. Yep.
Just to be like, oh, I was the first one there.

Speaker 1 I was a plus one there.

Speaker 1 150 pounds with some blonde dreads

Speaker 1 with an accent. You crazy.

Speaker 1 What am I with the guard, man?

Speaker 1 You big. You crazy.

Speaker 1 But you may get away, but once you start doing this stupid.

Speaker 1 I'm going to tug you off.

Speaker 1 You got to get your tug off, nigga.

Speaker 1 That ain't me, sir. Yeah, what? That's not me, sir.
Yeah, that's not me.

Speaker 1 That's hilarious. A nigga tried to get on the jet.

Speaker 1 So for

Speaker 1 him.

Speaker 1 Let my attorneys work it out. I'll holler at y'all.

Speaker 1 Dead ass.

Speaker 1 Now, granted, when mom told me, if I put my hand by the stove,

Speaker 1 I'll burn myself,

Speaker 1 yes, that was not enough to keep me from putting my hand by the stove. Now, if mom said, if you touch that stove, It's going to be either life in jail or the death penalty.
I think I'd have stopped.

Speaker 1 It's not human nature.

Speaker 1 I think I would have stopped doing that. That's what I think.
Listen, my mama told me, hey, once them boys get a hold of you, there's nothing I could do. They got a hold of you, right? Child support.

Speaker 1 They got a hold of you. Child support.
That's the only time you ever been locked up? Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Well, no. Okay.
There you go.

Speaker 1 97% of the times I've I've been arrested have been child report related. The other three are probably drug-related crimes, perks.
Gotcha. Niggas snatched me with the perks.

Speaker 1 But it wasn't like a violent, it wasn't a violent crime or weapons. It wasn't the life you lived.
Any of that stuff, yeah. Human nature says that we could beat the odds.

Speaker 1 Yo. Your ego says you could beat the odds.
Stop killing people, man.

Speaker 1 How about that? I don't give a fuck what your ego tells you. Stop fucking killing people.
How about that? Go to the fucking studio. Go to the studio.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 anything to go bad in a rapper life, all you got to do is just go to the studio. You don't have to go and kill.

Speaker 1 I didn't have fucking kids. Allegedly.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about whoever needs to hear it. I'm not just pinning this on them.
Again, Dirk will have his day in court.

Speaker 1 Puff will have his day in court.

Speaker 1 I don't think Thug has his years in court. So, I mean, we'll see how it plays out.

Speaker 1 This This next season of America,

Speaker 1 that's what I got for you. This shit like Game of Thrones, for real.
Next season of America is not about to play. It's some more unbelievable shit that's coming.

Speaker 1 For sure. Actually, we just seen it.
You seen Denzel snap on the niggas? When you seen Denzel just start snapping on them, bro. What are you snap doing?

Speaker 1 Paparazzi?

Speaker 1 Denzel? He had enough of them. Denzel is usually cool.
They were accusing him.

Speaker 1 He told them, I'll be back outside.

Speaker 1 You know, they would accuse him acting funny. Like, you're not showing no love.
And, you know, he turned back around and said, yo, look, listen, I'm a man, and I'm speaking to you as a man.

Speaker 1 I said, when I come back out, I'll holler at y'all and saying all that stuff is not good. And we could do it.

Speaker 1 Or I won't. Or I won't talk to you when I get out.
And then what? We can handle it. We can handle it that way.
Either way, yeah. He's a man.
And Denzel, a nigga.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he said, we can handle it either way. Dirty Mount Vernon, nigga.
Yeah, Denzel's one of them. Yeah, yeah, it's true.
You know what I mean? Shout out to Denzel, man. Shout out to Denzel.

Speaker 1 Small uncle in court. Yeah, it worked.
Small uncle in my head. Some great advice.
Yeah. That's crazy.
Denzel burnt up on the. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ish would go to Portugal. Who? They'll catch you there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Nigga, they'll catch you real quick.
I'm not going nowhere where y'all think I would go. I'm going to go somewhere where the last thing on their mind would be he over there in Iceland.

Speaker 1 Africa. Antarctica.
You bugging. He'll never be in Africa.
Let's check.

Speaker 1 Let's check over there. I got peoples over there.

Speaker 1 2025, I'm going to Africa too. Are you wearing Africa? Enough is enough.
What part of Africa? Enough is enough. Well, Ghana first.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Buy something. Ghana first.
Oh, I plan on it. Yeah, buy something.
I'm definitely copping with it. Seriously.
I ain't even doing it. No, me too.
Yeah. Me too.

Speaker 1 My man, yo.

Speaker 1 Maybe 2,000.

Speaker 1 I'm going to

Speaker 1 ask you.

Speaker 1 You better tell her to stop playing with me. But she's from the old school.
You don't stand with me. She didn't buy by those rules.

Speaker 1 I can't believe you blocked me.

Speaker 1 I am the the guy that has been tagging you in those remixes all the way from Decatur, Georgia, Zone 6. Future went to my high school, Columbia.

Speaker 1 For someone like you who claims to love music and is for the culture, and for your fans who happen to be talented and also supports you and your membership fees, to even get this response to you all the way from Decatur, Georgia, East Atlanta Zone 6, would at least appreciate the work of musical art

Speaker 1 from from your fans on social media who tag you and supports everything else that you do. Even mentioning that I could see you in stand-up comedy.
I remember you said that.

Speaker 1 No, you don't owe me anything and you can block whomever you want.

Speaker 1 However, I expected your frequency and your energy to your fans who try and get your attention would be a little more graceful and grateful.

Speaker 1 God frequency and appreciation.

Speaker 1 and gratitude for your fans even watching your podcast and for even wanting to write to you because honestly, Joe, Joe, I don't do shit like this, writing letters or submitting questions to celebrities.

Speaker 1 And this will probably be my last. It's all love, though.
I'm not mad, and I'm still a fan. Just disappointed.

Speaker 1 That was to you.

Speaker 1 Malachi, and anyone else that needs to hear this,

Speaker 1 I love and respect and appreciate your fanfare.

Speaker 1 That does not mean that you can spam my account 90 times on Instagram with whatever slap you just made. If you do that, I'm blocking you, so I never have to see it again.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at it. Yeah.
Sorry. That don't mean mean I don't want you to win out there,

Speaker 1 but sending me 90 clips of your song when I think the baddie that I just followed might be hitting me and it's you.

Speaker 1 I'm glued to the niggas cleaning the carpet on Instagram. Oh, all the way up.

Speaker 1 When they pull the rug out and it's just all black and and dirty and nasty, I'm like, ooh, you'll never get this one.

Speaker 1 Them niggas put that little phone on it. It's some power wash.

Speaker 1 Power wash niggas. No, power wash.

Speaker 1 Hey, they didn't lie about the power part and power washing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's fun. Carpet dude the other day, the Halloween edition, pulled out a pumpkin carpet, but boy, it was filthy.

Speaker 1 I was like, you'll never be able to restore this. And little did you know.
Oh, he got it. They take the whole car apart? That's ill, too.
He got that shit to brighten orange, boy.

Speaker 1 They took the whole inside of the car apart and deep cleaned that shit.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen that.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen that one.

Speaker 1 Nigga take the seats out. Yeah, it's a song.
I've seen a guy. It's a tall-ass car, though, like a 99 Camry.
Yeah, it's all, yeah.

Speaker 1 I've seen a guy that just is destroying cars to show how destroyable cars are. That one, I don't really understand all the rest of it.
It's a little uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 And while I'm on the Halloween edition of Things, because I went and got my manicure, and Alice and them be having the food network showing every time for 20 years now.

Speaker 1 So I'm I'm forced to watch them white people that's on the food network take a glizzy and make it into a fingernail that's bleeding and put it into a hot dog bun. I don't want that.

Speaker 1 I don't want it. That's right up your alley or no? No.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I think that these people are morons and fools.

Speaker 2 I like the baking shows. When I'm getting my nails done.

Speaker 1 That's a very cat lady a show.

Speaker 2 But usually the baking shows, they have to like, you know, create some kind of like, I don't know, some shit that don't look like a fucking cake or anything like that. That is true.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It'll be like a race car.

Speaker 1 Pocketbook or some wild shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, that was the little Halloween episode on the Food Network. Spooky ideas, right? Oh, yeah.
So they pulled some shit out the fridge of a dead face in like a pickle jar.

Speaker 1 It was like, ooh, and they jumped. Then it was a hand.
coming from the baker's the baker's cake. It was like, yo, dog, what are y'all doing?

Speaker 1 And the one black girl they got on there with them white people, I'm looking in her eyes with my black people intuition, and I know what she's thinking, but she can't say it.

Speaker 1 She can't say it.

Speaker 1 She just got to do her job and watch the white people just

Speaker 1 do whatever they want. Like Flip.
Look at Flip out there on the phone.

Speaker 1 I wish I could hear on the phone, too, what he was doing. Out there, I can't say what he was doing though.
I hope he caught Flip awkwardly look back and scramble.

Speaker 1 Fat niggas don't have the cool lean back on the phone. Like, fat niggas just got to be funny at all times.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about niggas that's fat.

Speaker 1 Why are you doing that? Why are you telling me to come to see you was just outside with me? Boy, I didn't.

Speaker 1 You see?

Speaker 1 To work?

Speaker 1 You was just with me.

Speaker 1 We was just together. I came back once my sleeper break was done.
Got it.

Speaker 1 You stayed for the extra. I'm used to employers like you from Sears, my Sears days.

Speaker 1 Milk and the break. You supposed to get a 45-minute break.
Y'all want to go to the food court in Newport and sit there

Speaker 1 extra hour and change. You know what's sad about you?

Speaker 1 You got so much shit going on. You're going to diss your man at the end.
And I heard what you were saying out there. Yeah.
That's the troubling part about it. What about it? Nothing.

I got you too. I heard you out there.
Baby.

Speaker 1 Nah,

Speaker 1 do it. Niggas can read through all that bullshit.
Stop.

Speaker 1 Nah, nah, nigga, that's not lying. Still?

Speaker 1 Yeah, because if I didn't feel like I won off the last one, then it's coming back. We ain't done.
You sure the field one? We ain't finished yet.

Speaker 1 Nigga, it's

Speaker 1 I'm doing some ill reverse psychology shit. My shit.
I just feel like you don't even like me.

Speaker 2 And the timing could not be, that timing could not be better.

Speaker 1 You love me, but you don't like me. That's the best thing.
Yeah, I'm getting deep with the mind game. You ain't hearing Mel, though.
You got to beat these people that's in your phone 24-7.

Speaker 1 Mal took a shot. What'd you say? I didn't hear what she said.
She took a lot of shots at you. You don't beat me.
No, I don't. I just said the timing couldn't be better.

All right. They're nice, right?

Speaker 1 They is nice.

Speaker 1 Nice. They're a nice little vehicle, boy.
But I didn't ask again. No, I'm going to fuck her whole head up and buy some stock in the company.

Why did I say that?

Speaker 1 To the relationship, police.

Speaker 1 Well, I have an entire record here of when you went out. 24th, 25th, and 26th back in 2007.

Speaker 1 That can't be true, Your Honor. I mean, girlfriend.

Speaker 1 Your Honor, girlfriend. Your Honor, girl.
Because I don't go out Sundays, I don't go out Mondays, and I don't go out Thursdays. And it's ain't but seven days in a week.
So how could that be?

Speaker 1 Your honor, girlfriend.

Speaker 1 And she said, just drive, move the GoPos. Well, what do you think about if you go out Tuesday and Wednesday and then skip Thursday and then it's Friday and Saturday? That's up.

Speaker 2 kind of situation where it's like all, everything's just included.

Speaker 1 So what you do when they start ordering shit that's not

Speaker 2 you let them know, don't order anything you order that's off the menu.

No, not a prefix, but you can create a menu.

Speaker 2 You had a menu. It was extensive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was extensive. They tried that prefix menu shit with me.
I scoffed at them.

Speaker 1 I turned my nose at them. Now, my friends should be able to choose between the Branzino and a steak.

Speaker 1 The birthday, yeah, it shouldn't just be, hey, you get a steak, an appetizer, and some soup, and some crackers, and you go home.

Speaker 2 This is what loving your girl sounds like.

Speaker 1 No, this sounds like being extorted.

Speaker 1 Loving your girl. Well, it is being extorted.

Speaker 1 Not worth it. Because you're paying whatever you're paying

Speaker 1 your

Speaker 1 girl or the dinner or whatever

Speaker 1 plus 50%

Speaker 1 of what you make just because of...

Speaker 1 Your tax situation.

Speaker 1 But you don't want to be that guy to explain to your girl what taxes mean for $1
