Why would that be a beef?
That's a success story, nigga.
That's a fucking...
What's better than
two millionaires? Oh shit, what's better than two millionaires? Whoa. Oh, shit.
What's better than three? I know Mark don't like that saying, but... Millionaires, I'm fine with it.
Okay. All right.

I'm just saying. I'd give it away.
I would literally not give it away. Oh, you wouldn't allow yourself to become a billionaire? No.
So why you don't give your millions away?
I don't have enough money to give away.
Wait, what?
I don't have enough money to
give away. If I had enough money,
I mean, I'd give away money, but I'm saying I don't have enough money to give away
half my income or half my
resources. But if I, like, for example, if I had
Oh, we got them. If I had $200 million or
$100 million, yeah, I'd give it away. Absolutely.

We like to see this. We like to see this side of you.
I had a little one with my man on the side because I missed him. He's one of my favorite niggas-ish.
That's what you call it, a 100? He's one of my favorite niggas. So I missed him in the last part.
So you vibed. You chopped it up.
So when he came in, I was like, yo, man. He said some bullshit.
Go ahead. What'd he say, Ish? I didn't say some bullshit.
I said, yo, man. What's up with you? We was at last part.
I missed you. Something like that.
Right? Right? To which you said. It was a family message.
You can tell him this part. Joe said, yo, what's up? I said, no, up I said nothing What's up He like where was you at I said uh Virginia He's like huh You wasn't I was like oh this weekend I was in Virginia He said no Friday I said oh my baby was sick So I started telling him What happened with the baby And all that He said yo Because you've known me so long You already know where my brain is And I said I said, fam, don't nobody want to hear that bullshit.
I said, so I want to say something really. Inappropriate? Joe-ish.
Really ignorant. That lacks total decorum.
About a nigga baby-ish? Something selfish, something that's totally inappropriate right now. You my friend.
So I'm going to say it to you So, you still going to say the inappropriate shit? This nigga said, this is why you got to start talking about that nanny talk. And I said, I said, kids get sick, nanny.
Why you? You need a nanny. Hey, kids get sick.
I can't afford no fucking money. I said, you got, how much is a nanny, coach? You can afford a nanny.
And that, thank you. How much is a nanny Thank you Nannies seem expensive Depends what nanny Depends what Nigga my daughter got sick at I mean my daughter fever Was high at one One o'clock in the morning So that means I can afford a living nanny No I can't What you get is an au pair An au pair And I cannot afford an au pair You can't afford an au pair You got au pair For the slow ones What's an au pair An au pair is is a nanny to the next level.
But they cook, they clean, they do other things in the house. They teach your kid languages.
This is a doubtfire. Wait, that's who we mean when we say nanny, by the way.
Aren't au pairs usually from another country, too? Sometimes. Sometimes.
They don't have to be, but they often aren't. South France.
They teach your kids different languages. No, no, no.
I'm saying. You got au.
You got an O-Pair? Yeah. Do I got an O-Pair?
A little Dominican or something.
Whoa.
Slavic.
Still a little racist.
No, not at all.
I'm naming countries.
She'll be O-Pair.
She'll be paired up with him.
Who you at?
I'm over here with my O-Pair.
He wants this nigga to lose his house.
See, that's what I think it is before he tried to con the audience when I can't afford it. He ain't allowed to lose his house See that's what I think it is
Before he tried to con the audience
But I can't afford it
He ain't allowed to have one
That's not true
He ain't allowed to have one
Nah nah
If you can have a nanny
You can have a 70 year old nanny
You don't have to have
So why you don't have one
Cause I can't afford it
I answered you already
I think you can man
We think you can
Alright
But what's that go for Mark
You can afford it
A month
What's a nanny
Say a month
Some of the niggas be
7, 8 thousand dollars a month
What
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it. No, stop it.
That's a lot. Yes.
No, it's not a lot. Some of them do.
That's not what we talk about. What number are y'all talking about? You give over half that in North Jersey, I think.
Four grand. Four or five grand a month.
All the mail know about it. But think about this.
You was an O'Hare? No. An O'Hare.
No. The thing is, if you get an au pair, you also don't have to think about daycare.
You don't have to pay for somebody to clean the house. You don't have to pay for somebody to cook food for you.
Yeah, it's taken out. It takes away all those other jobs.
And they live in your house. Yeah.
My house's not big enough for the au pair to live. But that's not necessarily true.
You got a basement? Hold on now. You got a basement, boy.
Hold on now. You got a whole basement, boy.
Make a little nanny's, a little au pair suite. Nanny quarters.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, look. I can't.
I can't afford it. I can't afford it.
Did you think about it, though? Did you think about it? No, not at all. Because you have your girl's mom.
She helps out, right? I mean, my girl's family helps out. Family.
I can't afford an au pair. That's all I'm saying.
Respect. All right.
You niggas up.
Nigga.
You drew a hard line, nigga.
I move on.
I move on, nigga.
I'm not even saying that.
I just can't.
Like, that shit ain't cheap.
Don't let Joe gas you.
If you say that again.
Don't let Joe gas you.
Oh, shit.
Damn.
Oh, shit.
I'm going to store this under things that we allow you to say.
Because you're bitches. But keep going.
I just got to allow you to say. That's your kryptonite, nigga.
Point proven. I just got to allow you to say.
Yeah, you got my man. That's your kryptonite, nigga.
Yeah, you got to let it go. Dog.
You can't talk. That's not true.
I can say whatever I want to say. Let's go, let's go.
Yo, let me ask you a question. Where's somebody...
That's what I'm saying. So I love him.
So this performance... We don't love you, nigga.
No, this performative shit got to stop at some point when it happens. You know what I mean? I don't want him to get a spanking.
Watch his mouth. What I'm telling you is, what you think and what is actual and factual could be totally different things.
I think you make enough to get a nanny. Alright, well, okay.
And Mark does too. And Ice does too.
Mel, you think he make enough to get a nanny? I mean, I think if he like, you know, kind of shifted stuff around, you know, oftentimes like... Oh, Mel, I'm melting.
She said, if he stops eating... Oh, shit.
I was like, Mel, I'm just going to eat. How bad do you want heat? Yeah.
I mean, you're not about gas. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, exactly.
Mel, you better stop playing with my boy. Or your candy addiction.
You know, who knows how much that is.
I eat candy.
Okay.
But, dog.
That's expensive, too.
That's crazy.
Yo, something wrong with you?
No, I ain't even trying to be funny.
What?
I'm having a fucking,
y'all don't know,
y'all don't know about my personal life.
I'm having a fucking calorie and carb fight.
So at 10 p.m.,
the motherfucking intimates and milk trips to the fridge.
Fuck how it costs.
Thank you. And in the proportion, when you eat more than one, one don't do nothing.
No, no, you got to eat a couple. One is a warmup.
Hey, hey, I'm stuffing my feet. Yo, all that work you did was for nothing.
I know. 10 o'clock took a whole sleeve of Oreos.
Yo, 10 o'clock is when the snacks taste good. That's when they taste the goodest.
The goodest. I ain't going to lie.
Mark, you look good, but I'm having a struggle with my body, my journey. The food is the thing.
It from sweet to savory. That goes a long way.
So still get the snacks. Just don't get sweet snacks, get savory snacks.
You know the funny shit? I'm not even really a sweet guy like that but when my girl come we do the Haagen-Dazs blizzard shit. Oh my god.
That's what I'm saying. She leave and I'm stuck in.
That's the one thing I do like about the Invisalign is snacks are pretty much, it's too's too much work. Yeah, I haven't eaten no barbecues lately.
No, I'm still going to eat some barbecue, but snacks is over. I'm talking about typically on break time.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, no, it's over for chips.
You don't do it. Yeah, I'm not.
You ain't been eating. It's not worth it.
Yeah. And it's counterproductive.
How are you not going to eat snacks? I know. It's not a pleasant experience.
I'm going to keep it a buck with you. All the shit that is dope to eat is the shit you not smoke.
Sugar, salt, sweets, dairy, cheese, potatoes, the noodles, what's in the pasta? Whiskey. Whiskey, brandy, brandy, brandy.
Skag. Oh, yeah, anything fried.
A little heroin. I call myself, I'm'm starving myself the whole day doing mad good.
10 o'clock, I go get some chips. Some rap.
I don't know that because I'm ignorant, and ignorance is bliss. I grab the chips.
Here come my girl. Oh, my God, look at you, all that fried food.
I'm like, wait, what? That's how they make this? Unless you get the baked chips. They fried chips.
Which is nasty, though. I don't know all them shit.
Who knows that? Everybody. Oh, come on, man.
It took a long time to learn that. You got to switch to baked foods, get skinny popcorn.
Yep. Drink hint water, which is a hint of flavor in it, but there's no sugar in it.
Or there's liquid IVs. Yep.
All that kind of stuff. Because you can't...
None of that shit tastes good, though. That's the problem.
Nothing's not true. Yo, when you're living healthy, I'm learning it ain't even about tasting.
It's not about tasting. I know.
It's over. That's the trade-off.
If you're eating good days, it's over. You eventually start to like the taste of healthy shit.
Yeah, you're eating for fuel. You just got to retrain your senses.
And then if you really implement a cheat day, you look forward to the cheat day when you can get busy. Like weekends I get busy.
Like if you do on like a Sunday,
you could just pancakes,
French toast,
all that shit on Sunday.
You know what I'm saying? Doing all this shit in your 40s,
I know,
I guess that's when you're supposed to do it,
but it just makes you feel like a dick
for not doing it.
Earlier.
Earlier, exactly.
In your 20s or your 30s.
Just earlier.
Do you have a chef?
Not currently, no.
Not currently. You got to get back on that.
Yeah. You can afford a chef, right? Every time I get a chef, them niggas get lit and move.
You know how many chefs get lit and move? The second them niggas post, Joe Budden, steak, steak and potatoes. Here come Kyrie.
Snatching them up. Yeah, here come fucking a restaurant in Houston.
Hey, come. Yeah, no, it's fucked up.

I got a service for you That'll be good Yeah a meal prep service Like a meal prep service Hold up y'all Let me get this one Because he asking for it Nah I was just saying What that mean?

Don't play. Yo, I'm saying you think I can afford an au pair or you should be able to afford an old chef.
Then get the Instagram chef, nigga. No, you can afford an au pair.
You can afford an old chef. You're just not doing it.
Pay your chef. Well, today I can.

Never. Like never? I've never done that.
Really? He said he had workers for the state workers for years. I've never picked up a place from Home Depot.

Has anyone done anything that I will be able to exploit for entertainment purposes over the weekend? Has anybody done anything weird? Nothing weird. Interesting? Fun? I went to a banquet.
It's an Eid banquet. So after Ramadan, there's a banquet that you go to, or it's a festival you go to called, you know, Iftars and Eids and stuff.
But I went to one in New York for celebrity Muslims. And...
Oh, God. I cannot wait to hear who was there.
Who was there?
Celebrity Muslim.
You asked me.
Does this count?
Like Muslim.
Yes, it fucking counts.
Yes, this counts.
Oh, man.
It was actually, I'd been supposed to go a couple years.
I didn't go for a variety of reasons.
The location is secret. They don't tell you where it is until like maybe like less than 24 hours before um it actually turned out to be dope I thought it was gonna be like super like conservative and staunch and like boring but it was actually really really dope and a lot of cool people were there including some people I didn't know were Muslim who I don't think want to be known as Muslim I was gonna say so since it was a secret location you probably't say who was there.
I mean, some people were there. I could say like Hasan Minhaj was there.
Who are you trying to get on again? I'm not trying. I'm just, I'm curious.
Are you going to come to the tomorrow hijab? Listen, I already told that story. My name was Afifah, okay? Oh, shit.
Right. And what happened? She dropped out.
I found it.
She dropped out. What happened? We gotta do this every day?
I found it way too restrictive.
She's doing it for a moment.
All my dates were gonna be chaperone and I couldn't wear
a belly top. Mmm.
Sorry.
Mmm. Yeah.
No.
Oh, you have little faith.
Definitely. Absolutely.
Okay, go on.
No, it was dope. Salvation or abs.
What a choice.
Then I tried Buddhism on for size, but that's a whole other story. Go ahead.
Go ahead, Mark. Buddhism.
I'm more intrigued by this. Yeah, word.
Yeah, no, it was dope. Black Thought came through.
Nice. Hassan Minhaj was there.
Rami Yusuf was there. A lot of dope people.
I thought my wife wanted to go because she thought
Mahershala Ali was going to be there
because he was supposed to be there.
He wasn't there.
No, that's the same face she had
when she found out he wasn't there.
I realized I was just her plus one
to go see Mahershala Ali.
But it was dope.
I ain't want to say nothing.
No, no.
I'm not doing that.
See, I'm nice.
What, what, what?
Nothing?
Damn, we all had the same time.
Yeah.
That's crazy. What's the? What? Nothing? Damn, we all had the same time.
What's the joke?
No, tell me.
All right, but just slow down.
Okay, okay.
He's trying to keep it going.
No, he didn't.
Y'all think that.
Look at y'all.
Of course y'all thought it too.
No, I thought that the room thought it.
I know where y'all break.
So your wife wanted to see who?
Mahershala Ali.
Mahershala Ali.
You too, right?
All right. I thought that the room thought it.
I know where y'all bring. So your wife wanted to see who? Mahershala Ali.
Mahershala Ali. You too, right? Yes.
Yes. Yes.
It got to the point that at some point the MC was like, yeah, ladies, he's not here. Like if he was walking around looking and shit, like, you know what I mean? Yeah, nah, he wasn't there.
Wish he had been. Good brother.
How do you feel about it? Which part? That your wife wanted to see him. About the guy.
That my wife was going to get pounded by Marshall. I'll leave.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
I was a lot of fun. Oh, Jesus.
What the fuck? I have some respect. I have some respect.
That was crazy. Don't put that on the phone.
Yeah. This is early in the pod.

Not the pound it out part, but knowing who your wife's... Crush is.

Yes.
What did you do?
For what I had to say about Gary, Indiana.
Yes.
Oh, okay.

I was like, it's a random ass beef.
A lot of people laugh about that one.
That's hilarious.
Can y'all give me her page in old school, lady?
I'll show you her. Look at y'all.
We on her side, niggas. I know.
That's been the history of this part. Hey, y'all, don't do that.
It's been the history up here. It's fine.
I stand with you, bro. Any R&B singers you got beef with, Vesta, whoever.
That's hilarious. I had no idea.
See, that's what I'm saying. When I shake shit up, it be legendary, yo.
That's what I'm saying.
You sent me a video from this guy named Joe.
Talking about my hometown, Gary, Indiana.
And his mayor like a dog.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You have no idea what is going on in Gary at this moment.
The things that we are doing to raise our city, when we have people like you talking about it, instead of supporting us and trying to see our city bloom and grow. If you don't have anything positive to say about Gary, Indiana, my hometown, and my mayor, Eddie Milton, I am encouraging you to shut up.
Take that. Take that.
Bars. I need that with the ether.
You don't want to be part of the solution, nigga. Shut up.
Shut up. That one.
That one. That one.
Over there. Over there.
Well, first of all, we're going to respect the legends always. No doubt.
We're going to respect the legends always. And I don't think that was as bad as that.
That wasn't bad. Denise Williams is just uninformed.
She said you were. Well, maybe I was.
But today, we are actively working with the mayor of Gary, Indiana, to bring awareness to what is currently going on out there
and help all of the fucking people that are raising money
and fucking trying to get shit lit out there.
So we're on the same page.
Nice.
We both could have been uninformed.
So let's give it up for some maturity.
Go Denise Williams.
Shout out to her.
Hey, yo, dog.
If I find out you gave 55 cents to Gary, Indiana,
instead of giving 55 cents to Jersey City and Newark, then that means that I support causes that are different from the ones that you support. They're all the same causes.
I don't give a fuck about these prom kids' outfits. I don't give two shit just so we're clear.
I'm not even talking about that. if them niggas went in fucking Salvation Army fucking drub
I wouldn't give two shit just so we clear. I'm not even talking about that.
Nigga, if them niggas went in fucking
Salvation Army
fucking drub,
I wouldn't give,
I wouldn't lose
an ounce of sleep.
However,
if there are some
more pertinent issues
that need
my attention
and my donation
and of course,
I'm always there
for Newark
and Jersey City.
I don't ever play
with me like that.
I don't ever play
with me like that.
Okay.
All right.
Shout out to Denise Williams.
Shout out to you,
Joe, for maturity.
Oh, you want to move on?
All right, what's up?
What's the guarantee? Thank you. for Newark and Jersey City.
I don't ever play with me like that. I don't ever play with me like that.
Okay, all right. Shout out to Denise Williams.
Shout out to you, Joe, for maturity.
Oh, you want to move on?
All right, what's up?
What's the Gary issues that you're supporting?
There we go.
Ooh.
What are the Gary issues?
Fire yourself stops.
Yo, you heard this question.
Yo, niggas are people.
What are?
Well, it's not about the issues I'm supporting
and what I've learned from the mayor. It kind of echoes what she's saying.
Whatever was going on back then, there are different people in charge now, and they are trying to do things differently, and it's a black dude. All you need to tell me is a black dude is a black dude's in charge and he's trying to do something now.
It's a black dude in charge of North, Ross Baraka. We're well aware of that.
What do they have to do with them kids' tuxedos? But y'all keep talking about Newark. I'm down to do that in Newark as well.
This is not a Gary-verse. I know y'all be looking for the gotcha moment.
I'm down. I'm down for Newark.
We look for that. I'm down to support Newark as well.
Why don't y'all do some real support instead of these dirty-ass tuxedos that y'all are talking about? You can't say that to me. Why not? Because I've given conventions on helping black kids in North.
For free. Oh, the Robert Browns.
You can't do that to me, fam. All right.
You can't do that to me, fam. All right, you got it.
Out of my own pocket, nigga. You can't do that to me.
We never saw it. I can't.
We never seen it. Fellas, fellas.
We just freestyle. Yes, you have.
I never seen it. Fellas.
We talked about it on the show. I never saw it.
We talked about it on the show. I know because you ain't come to support your man.
Oh. You know, and I'm never supporting you.
We know. Just so we're clear.
Let me take some of this thing out the room. Yeah, we know.
I'm never supporting you. He said, don't take the fuck out.
Don't take it out. I don't give a fuck.
That shit hit that. That shit stunk a little bit.
Yeah don't know what the fuck about you niggas Good boy Anywhere y'all wanna go Anywhere y'all wanna go Let's have some fun here Well we've been having fun Yeah we've been We've been bugged Freeze What's up Music You're saying freeze music Y'all wanna start with Dreamville No Oh okay Well I'm gonna start with Dreamville? No. Oh, okay.
Well, I'm going to start with Dreamville. Nobody went.
And it's not really over, right? You saw that. Yeah, it's not over.
It's not over. They're rebranding.
We're changing the name. What's interesting about that- Oh, they pulled a fucking horrible decision.
They got another four-year deal. Just call Bill now.
Oh, my God. They got another four-year deal with Raleigh what was interesting though is in the statement he said that we're gonna try to keep it basically saying we're gonna try to keep it hip hop yeah try to keep it well what does that mean does that mean that sometimes something in the contract indicates what I heard in that is we're gonna return it up and it's gonna be a to be different.
It's going to be inclusive. More inclusive.
Yeah. I was about to ask you why the rebrand? Does anybody know? No.
I think it's also to take Cole from having a headline every year. Oh, that makes sense.
But if you call it the Dreamville Festival he don't got a headline that shit. But he's Dreamville so it's like he has to be physically there at some point.
Now this takes, he says he'll still be hands-on, but this takes him off of the stage. Yeah, I don't have to really need it.
I was just tight, there wasn't no stream this year because I really wanted to see Wayne set. That's a crop of shit.
What? Whatever you just said. What you mean? That nigga can stay home now Anybody ask for his ass To come out Alright Go ahead No speak I'm just saying He could stay home now As it being The Dreamville Festival Whatever it is right now But a lot of Like You don't have to be there Yeah but, but...
That wouldn't match sales. Yes.
Just like when Travis do the Astroworld Fest, you're expecting to see Drake doing OVO Fest. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're expecting to see that artist with the belt. Who's the replacement headliner? Don't make me argue against Cole right now, but I don't know that they lose sales if he just goes and books the headliner.
Yes, you would. Yes, you would.
You can't say that for a fact.
I agree with that. You cannot say that.
Yeah, I don't know. You can't say that.
You're right. For a fact, I cannot say that.
That being said, of the dozen or so people
I know that went to Dreamville
this year, and if you want to add on every
year, dozens of people I know that have gone
to Dreamville. They went to Dreamville for J.
Cole.
They go for Cole. They go to see.
They see everybody
else there, but they go for Cole. And if they put whoever
I'm shutting up because it's not important. How many people.
I'm not shutting up because that's not what I do. How many people are at Dreamville currently? I don't know.
40,000. Maybe.
Yeah, I don't know. It's a lot.
50,000. It's a lot.
It's definitely a lot. I'm not on the side of it's not a lot.
I'm not on that side. I think it would still be successful without him.
I don't think it would be as successful without him being the headliner. Currently.
The part I agree with what you said, Ice, is whatever they're doing in the next four years, I'm sure they will try to eclipse whatever they have been doing. This is the upscale.
This is is upscale. You want to make it bigger than just Dreamville.
But still do it for North Carolina, for Raleigh, etc. And he owns it, right? I don't know.
I think so. But outside of that, nigga, we got rolling loud.
J. Cole not on rolling loud.
So if you replace the people, that's them niggas, you replace J. Cole with them, you could do rolling loud numbers to your point.
if you replace the people that that's them niggas you replace j cole with them you could do rolling loud numbers to your point if you replace the headliner with another monster headliner yeah maybe gonna come maybe you get what i'm saying yeah but there's also like um fatigue from you see the same artists at all these different festivals like there's all there's bad festivals and there's only but so many superstars back to our conversation that we've had the last two weeks.
There is a, a uniqueness about Dreamville.
That is J Cole being the headliner.
It seems a little authentic.
It feels more grassroots.
Yeah,
it does.
And his whole label and squad.
Like that's a thing.
I agree with that.
If you just throw in,
I don't want to say anybody's name.
Cause it's going to sound disrespectful.
You throw anybody name in there.
It's not going to ring quite the same.
I think they might look at it as they just maybe hit a ceiling. This is as big as it's paws can get.
Cole's on his way out. As far as we could go with you earthy hoes.
And now we got to upscale. We'll try to keep it hip hop.
I said, oh. Oh, man.
Maroon 5 come next year.
Yep.
Be prepared.
Put them fucking incense away.
Y'all shower now.
Yeah.
Who performed?
Come on, somebody give us something that actually happened from this thing.
Again, because there was no stream, I couldn't really see much.
I saw Wale.
I saw Absol, J.
I saw Wayne.
I saw Ludacris in the clip. I was like, oh, shit.
Look, it's Ludacris. Yeah, I saw Ludacris.
I saw Er really see much. I saw Wale.
I saw Absolute J. I saw Wayne.
I saw Ludacris in the clip. I was like, oh shit, look.
It's Ludacris. Yeah, I saw Ludacris.
I saw Eric Badu. I saw Juvenile.
Yeah. Yeah, but I didn't see a stream.
Why did they decide not to stream it this year? They didn't say, but they did put it out early that there will not be a streamer. I'm sure it's business.
Are we too old to catch flights and go to fucking the hippie shit? Yes. No.
No, we not. No, we.
I was struggling considering going and just didn't really work out. Not for the festival shit.
If it's a, if somebody's doing a one-off show somewhere and it's like in their hometown, you gotta be there for it, I'll catch the flight for that. I'm not going to the festival.
Parks went to the Kendrick shit. That's a one-off show.
You didn't go to. That's a one-off show.
I wanted to go to Dreamville. I just had something booked this weekend, so I was not going to.
If Jeezy does a show in Atlanta for the 20-year anniversary of 101, I'm going. I feel like this broadcast is too big, Doug, to not have a presence over there.
But I ain't going. I wanted to go.
Tanner went. Yeah, Tanner went.
Yeah. Oh, we got to call Tanner then.
Find out why. Mandy went.
I forget it then.
Call Mandy.
That's how I was.
You picked up. You call and tell me how I was.
I don't call and check on people.
That's not my bag.
That's your bag.
Just humanism.
Humanism is our bag. I'm joking around because we on air.
I'll get to my human spirit when we get to selfish versus selflessness that's when I'll get serious about where my human spirit lie but okay go Dreamville yeah that being said I didn't see any major headlines any announcements any super big special guests it seemed like it was just a good weekend from everybody I've saw. Got it.
Shout out to everybody that went out there. What I do love about Dreamville and the weekend is that there's never any hints of violence or gunfire.
Or overcrowding. Bullshit in dope.
You don't hear none of that. Yeah, because the hippie niggas,
they just want to smoke some weed
and get humped on.
No, because North Carolina
is a great place to be right now
for black people.
Honestly.
Why you say that?
Just how black people are doing
in North Carolina.
Charlotte, specifically.
Charlotte.
It ain't cheap, neither.
Yeah, it's...
That shit move up. It's moving.
I'm not going to say it's on par with Atlanta and D.C., but I think it's in that conversation. The growth of...
And it's growing. Yeah.
Tremendously. Hey, shout out to Charlotte.
That's dope. Shout out to Charlotte.
Yeah, so that's just a lit time to have out there right now. So shout out to them.
What else? What else? Anything else? Y'all see this billboard list? Oh, I saw it. It wasn't the worst of lists.
I didn't see it. I didn't agree with it, but it wasn't the worst.
You know, sometimes they'd be so egregious, I'd be like, y'all shouldn't even be allowed to talk about this. What was the list? The top 25 women rappers of all time.
Why do we always let them do it to us? Yeah. Fuck it.
It's part of our job. Fuck.
I'm not mad if this is early in the show for it, but... I saw the list and then I was like, here we go.
Then I said, you know what, fuck it. We'll talk about it.
Why not? What did you think of it, Ice? I saw some old names that were there that shouldn't be there and some names that were not there that should have been there. For me, it was also, it was more the order of,
I'm trying to pull up
a list up now.
It was the order of,
I got it.
You got to,
it was the order of the people
for me more than who was on it.
Although there were two names
I thought should have been on there.
25 is
Tiarawak.
24 is Dolce.
Okay.
23 is Gangsta Boo.
22 is Lady of Rage. 21 is Gangsta Boo.
22 is Lady of Rage.
21 is Glorilla.
20 is Moni Love.
19 is Lotto.
18 is Remy Ma.
That's some bullshit.
Thank you, boy.
17 is Rhapsody.
Some more bullshit.
16 is Doja.
15 is Meg.
14 is Left Eye.
13 is Trina
12 is The Brat
11 is Cardi
10 is Foxy Brown
10 is Foxy
9 is Eve
8 is Roxanne Shante
7 is Salt-N-Pepa
6 MC Light
5 Queen Latifah
4 Lil' Kim 3 three Lauryn Hill, what? Three Lauryn Hill, two Missy Elliott, and one Nicki Minaj. And before we react, let me give you their criteria because it's always important.
Yeah, okay. So the criteria is body of work slash achievements, and they put that as charted singles and albums, gold, platinum certifications.
Cultural impact
slash influence,
longevity,
lyrics,
and flow.
That's the criteria
to come up with this list.
I'm not mad at Nikki
being number one.
Nikki is number one.
I'm not mad at that.
I'm not mad at those two.
I'm not mad at that.
Lauren,
I love Lauren,
but...
I'm not mad at that. Okay'm not mad at those two.
I'm not mad at that. Lauren, I love Lauren, but.
I'm not mad at that.
Okay.
Because,
look who she sits behind.
Okay.
So,
I just think she's more,
got more singing songs than she got rapping songs.
Way more.
I wouldn't put her necessarily
that high.
I would put her on the list,
of course.
She'd be behind the singers list
with that same criteria.
Her album that she rapped on
went diamond.
Mm-hmm. Two of them.
She has three albums that she rapped on. Two diamond albums.
Right. Hard to argue against it is all I'm saying.
Cultural impact. And I feel like we've done that here.
Yeah. I would have her on there.
I would just have her a little bit lower. She would be lower.
I'm not saying at the end of the list. That five.
Read the two right after her. I'm not going to hold you.
It's not a bad five. Kim, Queen Latifah, MC Light, Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne, Shantae, E.
Foxy Brown is 10. I would have heard higher.
Foxy Brown goes way higher, but that top four, I would just put Foxy in the top five. Really? Foxy, 100%, is the top five.
You can't, because who are you going to take out? You got to take out Missy. To me, Missy's too high, but...
Hell no, Missy's... You get what I'm saying? To put Foxy in the top five, because again, we come from the Foxy era.
Who do you take out that top five? I'm taking Lauren out. Who's five? Yeah, I'm pushing Lauren back.
Nikki is one. I didn't ask you that.
I said, who's five? I'm about to tell you. Nikki is...
Who's number five? Sorry. Queen Latifah.
Who's number two? See, I can't take... You can't take Queen Latifah out of that.
Well, I can't because I'm from New Jersey. No, not just that.
The cultural impact that Queen Latifah, it wouldn't be a bunch of these people if it's no Queen Latifah. And charting singles.
And I mean, to me, it's just that the same criteria that would push Lauren. I'm from Jersey, so I'm not going to do it with you.
That's fair. I'm from Philly.
I'm happy to go push... I can hear what you're saying, though.
Yeah. I just feel like whatever criteria pushes Lauren down would also push Left Eye down would also push Missy down.
I'm not against any of those people. I think they're extraordinary, but I'm just saying if we're saying Missy's the number two woman rapper of all time, a lot of her influence was not from the bars.
It was from the songs she made. Missy is like an all around amazing artist.
Missy deserves all that shit that y'all give Lauren. Yes.
I think that's right. I think that's right.
I just don't know if I'd have her as number two on my rapper list. Missy ain't done enough rapping at all.
All that yee yee yee yow. With respect to her pen and her albums and her artistry.
Creativity. That's where she gets to that.
Creativity. The rapping part.
But she raps. She does rap.
But not enough to be the number two rapper of all time. Exactly.
Is she writing with a pen? That's a good point. If she's writing with a pen, you want her before the rest of them.
Just maybe not as a rapper. I don't have no problem with this top five.
My argument comes later in the list. I'm looking for Bahamidea.
I was going to say, yeah, who? I was going to say, yeah.
Mia X. I said it before.
People have asked me about it. I'm looking for
the names I'm looking for.
Philadelphia female emcees.
I don't play about. Thank you.
Jean Grey. To me,
Jean Grey should be on this list and no name should be on this list.
When you start looking at the rest of the criteria,
I understand. I understand, but that's why
I don't like the criteria. Because Jean Grey, to me, if we just talk about pure talent, this might be another wild tape.
No. She can rap better.
I don't know anybody on this list that can rap better than Jean Grey, quite frankly. Rhapsody.
I wouldn't fight that, but I'm saying they're in the same conversation. Jean Grey different.
Jean Grey is there. I don't have nobody that rap better than Jean Grey.
But with the criteria, outside of bars, you don't have nothing else that's going to meet the criteria. And that's why I don't love the criteria a little bit.
You know what I mean? Because now I got, now somebody who's an extraordinary rapper like Jean Grey is not on the list. She's a monster.
Who would you take off the list? I would take off, I hate taking people off because then it seems like a diss. Not really.
I don't know the girl. I'm taking Dochi off the list.
I'll say it. It's too early.
I'm not taking Doji off the list. Way too early.
Way too early. Doji 100% has to be off the list.
Tiarawak, I'm not mad at that either. It's too early for these people.
It's too early. Yeah, it's too early.
But you can't take Doji off and leave Lady of Rage on. I was about to say, yeah.
Wait, why not? No, no, no. Hold on.
Hold on. Somebody, name three Lady of Rage songs.
Not fair. Name two Lady of Rage songs.
That's actually fair. It's not fair.
We could be aware of Lady of Rage's contribution, which was more than just Lady of Rage solo songs. She was the female representation of the whole West Coast at one point.
That's a contribution to hip-hop that some of these people have not paid. Yeah, that's why I think she should be like number 26.
Lady of Rage made the list just off the Steve Harvey show. Afropuffs.
Rock on with your bad self. Everybody knows Afropuffs and you can't name another song.
Yo-Yo not on here. Is she from Farmville, huh? Yo-Yo is another one.
Yo-Yo not on here. Yo-Yo not...
This is what I'm saying. How the fuck...
You talk about West Coast representation of women. It's not Lady of Rage.
It's Yo-Yo. Name me two Yo-Yo songs.
Lady of Rage got up there because of death row. Let's tell the truth.
Name me two Yo-Yo songs. You can't play with my Yo-Yo.
And? Don't try to play me out. Look up.
Look up.
Hey, fucking. You can't play with my yo-yo.
Don't try to play me out. Now she on the I Want to Be Down remix.
That's a classic verse. That's a classic verse.
That's two. Rage is on.
Rod Digger should be on this list. Rod Digger should definitely be on this list.
Rod Digger definitely needs to be on this list Where should Remy be placed? Because she actually has some platinum singles whether it's a future or whatever you want to say Where do you guys think that Remy should be placed on this list? Higher Higher than 18 Higher than 18 Like top 10? No But higher than Maybe 11 I was going to say maybe around 13 somewhere in there It's definitely higher than that list though Is Is Roxanne Chante too high? Yes. Yes.
Respectfully. I hate to say that, but yes.
Respectfully. You think Foxy Brown should be lower than Roxanne Chante? Her impact is major.
We will not spend another five seconds on Roxanne Chante. It's 20, 25, almost 20, 26.
I'm just telling y'all. That's why she should be on the list though.
But listen, if that's the case, then you can't say Salt-N-Pepa should be 7th. I don't think Salt-N--Pepa should be seventh.
I do not think that Salt-N-Pepa should be above. It's fucked up to say, but you're asking me.
And I wouldn't go to Billboard for mine. I would have the argument with people that know the shit.
But I'm putting Foxy Brown before Salt-N-Pepa. I know you can.
I love it. Ask y'all.
I know that it's not appropriate to say. I'm telling y'all me.
It's not a crazy take, but I don't agree with it. But it's not crazy either.
Nope. Bro, without some of these people, there is no Foxy Brown.
But that's like. There's impact right there.
Well, I'm not. I'm never taking away from their impact.
I don't think that Foxy Brown is off the salt and pepper lineage. I don't.
She definitely is. How? What are you talking about just what's the difference she's a girl rapper what other way is she off the salt and pepper embracing your sexuality yeah shoop nigga shoop what a man before that even before that push it Foxy did that you talking about I agree I'm joking but no I don't think they're the same lineage I think there's a very clear Foxy brand like we know who the children of Foxy and Kim are right? It's very clear we know who the children of Latifah are I don't see Foxy and Salt and Peppa being the same lineage but there is a way that they just open the door for everybody it's just pioneers and I'll admit that I'm probably way more of a Foxy fan than most I love love Foxy Brown, too.
I think she should be hot.
She's amazing.
I had commercial smashes in the early fucking 80s, dog,
when females in hip-hop wasn't a thing.
Yeah.
I mean, they got some of the biggest hits on this list.
Yeah, like, what are we talking about?
Ain't no hip better than Shoot But What It, man.
I mean, they still play that shit on TV now.
Push it.
Push it.
What?
Tramp.
They got records.
No, they got a lot of records. They got the Salt-N-Pepa.
Let's go, let's go, man. Say Tramp.
They made Tramp. That was so funny.
Yeah, man. I love that song.
But Philly's well represented on this list. Left Eye, Tear Whack.
I'm happy with that. Foxy need to be at least five.
Parks, I know it's Friday's big time, but I just want to have a good time. Let's do it.
I'm coming, Fox. What? Tramp is hard, though.
It's going to be crazy because I know how it works. You know're the voice it is Who produced this? Who made this beat? Dougie Fresh Is this the Dougie Fresh Run? What's my name? Bismarcky Who made this shit? It's all my name What'd you say? This is the Diamond D This sound like something You must pay So listen close to what I say I'm gonna take this as a simple rhyme Cause this type of shit happens all the time Now, what would you do if a stranger said hi? Would you listen to me? Nigga, they was stars They was stars Look at this He ain't like that shit He got all that old shit.
How does this go, is it? Yo, that's his Benjamin. Oh, shit.
Herbie Lovebug. That's who I'm thinking about.
Herbie Lovebug. Herbie also wrote the verses too.
He wrote the shit for them.
He wrote all his verses.
That's why I also that bothers me.
I was about to ask you,
do that affect anything
for y'all on these lists?
Well,
because that would change
a lot of these rankings.
If you say
pen game changes the list,
then there's no list.
Yeah.
I would say no list.
Let me take that back.
The list is drastically changed.
Yeah,
because half that list
got written for it.
A lot of men get written for it too, but half that list got written. Herbie wrote a whole bunch of stuff there.
Drex wrote stuff on there. JD wrote stuff on there.
I mean, you could... Yeah, anyway.
Oh, that's the shit right there. Oh, hold on now.
Hold on now. Broken Silence album.
Go ahead, man. I'm not sick no more.
Turn it up. This is all that.
Hey, yo. This one...
Broken Silas was a great-ass album. Go ahead, man.
I'm not sick no more. Turn it up.
This is all that. Hey, yo.
This one. Broken Silence is a great-ass album.
This is a hip-hop classic. What's your album, bro? This album.
This album is terrific. That's why Broken Silence is why Foxy needs to be in the top five.
This album right here, fam. Uh Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm the most lyrically acclaimed rap bitch in the game.
Coast to coast, ask the gap and host the girl dark skin Christian Dior. Come on, y'all.
Hey, Joe, you said Broken Silence is wild? You have that higher than Ill Nana album? No. No, but Ill Nana is in there.
Okay, no, because the way you said it, that's what I'm like. It's the extra piece that people do.
The women that rank above Foxy have albums that may rank above Foxy. Yeah.
Broken Silence, for me, establishes her place in wherever you want to talk about. All right, all right.
Because it's three strong albums in a row. And the firm.
And the firm. And the firm.
Yeah. You kept up with them.
Stop fucking playing with Foxy.
You kept up with them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Oh, now look at us.
Black Boy Joy.
Look at the Black Boy Joy

So much of that shit we were saying off mic was great. So much of what we went and did off mic was great.
You said you had a joker question for him. I know.
And then that's great. And then ish was great.
I'm trying to lead and segment properly. Lead properly.
You want to tell him where we went? We we've been having an ongoing debate about who could lift 225 in here. And there has been a conversation about it.
And some people were like, I could do it easily. Some people said they couldn't, et cetera, et cetera.
And so it kind of got tabled for a while, like a lot of our debates. And then me and Corey started talking about it and some people were like i could do it easily some people said they couldn't etc etc and so it kind of got tabled for a while like a lot of our debates and then me and cory started talking about it again and ian schwartzman decided that he wanted to weigh in i'm not sure why but he said that he could do it and i looked at ian and said yeah i'm doubtful but you know felt his triceps yeah because like if you have no tricep then there's no chance you could do it You know i mean it's a pectoral and tricep thing so i'm like if you have no tricep he had a little tricep okay maybe he does push-ups at home or whatever that weird shit he does in the sauna's getting his arms strong so i said cool let's go do it and sure enough ian went down down took off his shirt did his he-man things hulk hogan thing um he put up the up the blank bar.
He put up 135. We put the second plate on.
He got it to his chest.
He was able to lift it off the bar.
How would you describe
the next 10 seconds, Joe?
Get this shit off me. Help!
A lot of shaking and trembling.
A lot of shaking and trembling.
A lot of red, pink face.
A lot of red, pink face. A lot of red and pink face.
A lot of red, pink face. Yeah, red and pink face.
A lot of getting up saying, damn, I think I pulled something. He seems to have left, too.
Yeah, no, he really said. We cleared him the fuck out of here.
Well, that's the other thing. I told him not to go down here and get involved with that hootenanny because Ian done broke his clavicle or something in his shoulder.
He had a couple shoulder shifts. He said he had three shoulder repair surgeries.
So that was the instance where the risk is just not worth the reward. Not at all.
There was no point in doing it. You know men don't give a fuck about that.
She is not over here every time. And he pulled something.
He's fucked up now. You got a baby on the way.
You married. It's like, what are you doing, buddy? Yeah.
Men don't care about none of that. You got to know your worth.
Well, it'd be a different thing if he lifted weights regularly. Not to say that.
I think he runs and stuff like that. He said he lifted in college.
He said he didn't lift weights consistently. If you haven't done bench presses in a long time, jumping into 225 is crazy.
So after that, Dr. Mark gets on the bench.
Throws it up. He threw it up.
Then it was a line now. After that freeze went.
I went. What I said I was going to do? You put it up, but it didn't come down.
I'm sorry. Before Mark, Corey went.
I'm sorry. Corey went.
Then Mark went. Corey did some prison shit.
If you hold it with one arm, you can adjust the rack. Corey started curling and shit.
I'm like, put the bar down. It was Corey, then Mark then Freeze, and then I had to go because Freeze threw it up to me with what looked like the E's.
Like, Freeze just looked like he had that I've been in the house strength, nigga, just mowing the lawn. Freeze put the 185.
He didn't get to the 224. No, no, no.
I did the, I just put it up. Well, he picked it up.
Oh, he got it off the book. I told y'all.
He got it off the book. I can put it up when it got to your chest.
Nah. No, it did get to your chest.
Oh, yeah. No, no.
I respect that. Yeah, you was like, I'm not trying.
I told everybody off the rip. I just said, I can put it up.
Yeah, never. I thought him throwing up the 185 was pretty impressive.
The 185 was impressive. That was impressive.
Especially if you don't work out. And I did that a couple times.
Yeah. Freeze got that head strength.
Like, he's just pulling from his dome. That's where it's all up top, baby.
That nigga's got it. It's all up top? So you binge-pressed the 185.
Yes. Yeah.
But the 225. 225, I just, all right, that's enough.
Put that back. He got that.
Mama said, take the chicken out the freezer strength, boy. He got that.
Bake with chicken. That bake with chicken.
Hey, you better be in there. Make sure your little brother eat the shrimp.
He got that. He just with chicken.
That banquet chicken. You better be in there.
Make sure your little brother eat the shrimp. He just in Alabama.
He got the awesome ass of his shrimp. They got that good grade strength.
They got that fucking straight A niggas that if they get into something look at Freeze. Don't put that microwave for me, boy.
Got that fucking retired truck driver. Oldest security strength.
Throw that. Mega TV strength.
Yeah. Got that fucking goddamn, Freeze.
Cable vision. That nigga could have been RoboCop in another life.
And then Flip was like, right before we walk out the door, Flip said, I'm going to do it too. Oh, really? Well, I only did 135.
No, no, but. It don't matter.
No, no, no don't matter no no no no we don't just downplay it pretty good it don't matter it wasn't just that you you did what you you didn't try more I think you could've done more cause you you had like a kind of reckless strength there's another word for it like the Hulk like the Hulk there's a way Tasmanian devil yeah sure no you had a kind of strength where you didn't realize how strong you were.
Yeah.
Oh.
Like the nigga that wore the helmets from.
Tell me.
You just make a joke sticker?
We're not allowed to say .
I didn't say it.
You was the nigga that we took the lunch from, nigga.
You wasn't in our lunch room.
You was in the back.
You was in the back.
I was in the head of your lunch room, nigga.
You was in the back. You was in the portables.
You couldn't come out all day.
Mommy, can I give hug?
You know what's on set now?
You can't say that.
All right, let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go now.
You can't say that, bro.
I know what you're talking about with the kids that ask that shit.
You can't do that.
Lord bless him.
He don't know his own strength.
Lord bless him.
That's how he was.
I think he picked the whole rack up.
Mommy, can I give hug?
And they be missing too.
They be missing the hug.
You got to take it.
Hold on, I'm right here, baby.
And you throw a little dash
to that little people strength?
Oh, shit.
You going to let him say that? You going to let your man say that on this broadcast? here, baby. Maybe throw a little dash to that little people strength.
Oh, shit. You gonna let him say that?
You gonna let your man
say that on this broadcast?
Oh, man.
Hold on.
This nigga's drunk as shit.
Oh, man.
It's not that nigga.
He got shot for real.
You got under there?
Yeah, he did.
He did.
How'd that go?
What you pushed up?
Flip like one.
Yeah, flip like what? Get your shit off. All? What you pushed up? Flip like when, oh.
Yeah, flip like what?
Get your shit off.
All right, nigga, you're going to get it out of everybody.
Get your shit off.
Flip like what?
Don't back down now, 50.
It's like when in the Little Shop of Horrors,
when the plant started just picking shit up.
I might be too old for you on the restaurant.
Nigga, we know about seymmore and all that shit, nigga.
Yeah, you got that type of strength.
Like when the gremlin started wild.
Niggas eight after 12.
Shit, these niggas mean business. This nigga at the midnight.
Oh, these niggas mean business right here.
So then I got down there.
I didn't even bother with that 225.
I'm not playing with them.
Yeah, you ain't.
I'm not playing. But you said from the beginning, you weren't going to make no false promises about what you could do.
At all. So what you did? 135.
How many times? He did 185. No, I went 135.
Hold up for a second. Mel, you didn't go downstairs.
How would you? Oh, no. I figured you started with 135 and then went up.
All right. I'm going to get you.
I'm not over there publishing shit. Yeah, I don't know what it was.
One something. What was it? 185.
185. How many times? I don't know.
Shit, once, nigga. Oh, all right.
We weren't rapping. We were just trying to just...
Ish, what you could do, Ish? Can you do that? 185? Yeah. I doubt it.
That's not true. You're just strong.
I don't know. I'm not...
Oh, you just haven't done it in a long time. Yeah, I ain't.
I got it. Being pretty is hard enough, right? Pretty is she.
Walk it down, is she? Try to look at it, nigga. I know your little trick.
That's crazy. But that was fun and nobody got hurt.
Hopefully Ian's okay. Yeah, that was fun though.
No, Ian pulled something. No, he really did.
He did. On all jokes aside, he was like, yo, he whispered.
He put the 225. I thought he was fucked up.
He couldn't get that. He had some help.
He needed help to get off his chest. Like he'd still be there if we weren't, if he did it by himself.
That's Getting caught under a bench Yeah Yeah Yeah That is not fun shit Good times though Yeah that was fun Great times I'm trying to find this smoke That I have for Mark Lamont Here it is I think it's right on At Mark Lamont Hill No I got it right here I got it right here Um Uh oh This is something that Mark Lamont retweeted From a friend of the show, J Will. We fuck with J Will up here.
That's my guy. That's my guy.
Absolutely love J Will. J Will said, if LeBron and Steph drop 61-10-10 in a game this time of year, we'd shut down the internet, yada, yada, yada, yada.
Let me get to the end uh espn would talk about it for two days straight but when joker does it it's just another night why because he doesn't look the part he's not flashy not loud but make no mistake skill for skill he's already outpacing shaq hakeem and even kareem yes we're just afraid to say it joker isn't just the best player in the world. He's quietly building one of the greatest legacies we've ever seen.
And media is still acting like it's a fluke. And Mark Lamont took that and said facts.
And I couldn't believe that you said that. I agree with some of the parts in there.
So I will say in fairness, I didn't read all, I wouldn't read all that. I only, I was really fact in the first half of it, the, if he dropped these big numbers, we'd be bragging and talking about it.
That I would say. To the second part.
I was ready to argue about the second part with you. I don't think he's wrong about the second part.
I just don't think it matters. Like statistically he is outpacing Shaq and Elijah Juan.
I just think it's a different era. And so it doesn't mean the same thing.
It means absolutely. A perfect example is rebounding.
Rebounds are a lot easier to get in today's NBA because a lot of teams, bigs, abandon the basket and go up the court. That's why you see a lot of point guards now averaging eight, nine rebounds a game.
So Jokic's rebounds are not the same as Shaq's rebounds. If I had to pick a guy to win me a game right now, I'd still go with Shaq.
Of course. Not Jokic.
Of course you would. Right.
But I do think that Jokic is so great and so extraordinary that now we act like the shit is normal because it's just like when James Harden and Russell Westbrook were getting triple doubles every night. We started acting like a triple double wasn't a big deal.
And it's like, if they're that easy to get, other people would get them. Exactly.
The league's changed. It's easier than in the 50s or the 80s.
Shaq averaged 23.7 points a game in his long career and 10.9 rebounds per game, if I'm reading this correctly. Joker is at 20.9 and 10.7, so where exactly is he on pace to out? I don't think that's right, but if you look at their prime years...
I think if you looked at their prime years, it would be even worse for Joker. I think Mark and J.
Will and a few other people and his may be falling for just modern day recency bias with this Joker shit. Because, like you said, we're in a different league and he's doing some shit.
And today the term two-way player exists. I like Joker two-way.
I'm talking about a day where that term didn't exist because you had to play on both sides. And Dream averaged 21.8 and 11.1.
The Joker, to me, is too obsolete on one side of the floor for me to start putting him in the same ballpark as Shaq and Hakeem. I like Joker.
And Kareem. I think the him not looking the part of being overlooked thing is absolutely bad.
Bro, let me ask you a question. Wait, you don't fuck with Kareem? No, no, no.
Kareem for me, Kareem is my goat. Let me ask you a question.
But, let me say this real quick before you do. I think the thing about Jokic that people are forgetting, one, his efficiency is crazy.
You've never seen a center put up those numbers that he puts up and shoot the three ball and give you and damn near lead the league in in assists. So you might have, even if Shaq averages four more points game, there's 20 more points coming out of assists that Jokic is giving you.
He directs the floor. He's the point center.
He's the pivot. He's the ball.
He can't jump high enough for you to put paper under his feet. He's slow as shit and he's running the brakes.
We've never seen a center run fast brakes, bro. Well, we weren't allowed to see that.
But that's part of the era changing. We weren't allowed to see that.
No, nobody was talented enough to do that. That's not true.
That's not true. That's not true.
That's not true what you're saying. I'm asking y'all.
Wilt Chamberlain was talented enough to do that. Wilt Chamberlain did not handle the ball enough to handle the ball.
He led the league in assists. Bro, the assists is different.
If you want to talk about rebounds, it's different. The assists was different back then.
Yeah, I think they were harder to get. I think Shaq played point in high school.
You are wrong. Shaq handled the ball and passed the ball in high school.
I am not wrong. So find another.
He played the point. All right, so maybe he didn't play the point.
He handled the ball and passed the ball in high school. David Robinson flew like a fucking flamingo.
David Robinson would be in that. David Robinson wasn't...
David Robinson grew like a foot in a year. So it's like saying AD is now a four.
That's how Cat was. He wasn't a four when he was growing up.
I'm just saying... But David Robinson was very athletic.
He could move around. Yeah, I'm just saying those people would not be allowed to do that.
It's a Coleman, there's a lot of guys, it's a different era, a different style. I don't like to compare eras because who knows what Kareem would be if he played in this era with this style of basketball? Who knows what Giannis would be 30 years ago? You know, we see that debate all the time.
250 points. Bro, stay in this era.
Stay in this era. But what I'm saying is, Jokic, what I'm saying is, the particular skill set that he has in this era, we haven't seen before.
Sir, that's fine. You still can't come in this room with your one ring having ass.
You can't come over here. Your name ain't even to be mentioned with the Shacks.
How many he need before he can be in the conversation though? More than one ring. Because we only got two and he's in the conversation, right? Dave Robinson only got two and he's in the conversation.
So I'm just saying if he has one more is he in the conversation? Yes. Hey yo fam, if you are a center and you averaging a triple double, that is something to be said about.
Absolutely. I think Joker's incredible.
I don't think we say that enough is all I'm saying. And y'all LeBron crazy.
He's incredible and he's stat-passed. How? I don't think he's stat-passed.
I watch basketball too much to say he's stat-passed because he's not. He's not stat-passed.
He doesn't play defense. That's the knock on him to me.
If he's not playing defense, you don't see nobody kill him. If he's not playing defense, the nigga that he's guarding don't get points.
No, that's not true. Embiid gets busy on him.
Wait, that's not true. Yo, nobody can stop Joel Embiid.
Keep going. There aren't that many good centers in Embiid.
That's another piece of it. If somebody's a defensive liability, today's NBA will exploit your defensive deficiencies.
I've seen mad game winners on the Nuggets happen on Joker's Watch. Mad of them.
What I'm telling you is niggas not exploiting them. But I don't want to...
Listen, we'll get to this later. AD wasn't exploiting them.
We'll get to this later. We'll get to it later.
He's passionate about it. He got my best started.
No, AD wasn't exploiting them. AD's offense is amazing.
Okay, we'll get to this. We'll get to this.
No, I'm going to fucking do that. It's escalated quickly.
Yeah, yeah. Not at all.
We having a sports conversation. That's what men do.
I'm saying that niggas don't be wanting to give them a steal. There's a lady here and Flip is here.
No, it's... Like, we don't want to...
It's okay. No, we fine.
No, no. He's got toys.
He brought on a sword. I got my toys.
You got a little dinosaurs? That was crazy. Yo, that is nuts.
To wear the sword. That's funny.
Yo, y'all keep making fun. Y'all gotta stop that, man.
What else is in music that needs our attention? Y'all want to talk about the Drake Leaks at all? Can I hear it, please? Drake Leaks at all. I didn't listen to him, but please play him.
Please play him. I don't trust Leaks anymore.
Me neither. I run from Le leaks at all I didn't listen to him But please Play him I don't trust leaks anymore Me neither I run from leaks Just because I don't know What's real anymore He back on the wagon You got all three songs? It's my touch Those two records leaked? I'm not playing all of them Yeah I heard one He back on the wagon Let's go boy Alright let's see Here we have Shopping Spree Oh they took it down Oh they took it down Hold up They don't play Oh they took all these Shits down Yeah it's over It's over I'll get them real fast I guess that means Does that mean they were Real Does that mean it was real They were definitely real Yeah that lens So we're saying AI It was him No it was him I heard one of them And he was going They were going.
Which one was a good one, Joe? All of them were good. Really? And all straight rapping, not the sing-songy stuff? One of them was sing-songy, but it was good.
One was rapping, but it was hard, and it was good. And another one was, they all were good.
He rap, he's excellent. They all were good.
He's dope when he does sing-songy shit. I might be underselling them.
They were good. He rap.
He's excellent. He's a brass.
They all were good. He's dope when he doesn't sing songs.
He's a bop. I might be underselling them.
They were good. The one I heard, it was good.
I listened to it multiple times. I listened to it once.
I heard it all the way through. He was going.
Yeah, I'd be scared of leaks. You think the leak was intentional, though? Yes.
That would be my question. I don't think so if they struck it.
I think that's his new trick is to leak it and strike it. Leak it.
Leak it. See what happened.
Get some market research.
That's what I think. I think you throw it out there
and you see if the current
climate is coming back around to
receiving you. Because I think at one point
it didn't matter what he put out.
K was just shitting on him. Well I mean
the leaks were cool.
I wanted to talk to y'all about and one of them
he said
K Thank you. Too young for you.
Why not? Stop it, y'all. Don't be silly.
What you want? Leave her alone, y'all. Mel cannot date Cade Cunningham.
Y'all crazy. How old is he? I'm about to tell you.
And I'm going to show you. She doesn't want to date him.
Yeah, but I don't like how they just did that, Mel. Who said she wanted to date him? 23, 24? No, he went to college for a year.
He 23 going on 24. Oh, that's too young.
Thank you very much. I'll accept you guys' apologies.
I'll accept you guys' apologies. Thank you very much.
Antoine? Mel? Yes. Next year? Don't say the amount of money.
It don't matter. He is a child.
Let's go, Mel. Let's go stand on the nigga.
You get to the brain. Listen, I did some math.
I got buildings in nigga. I got buildings on my hand.
I did some math as to what I would feel comfortable with. Let's go, man.
I feel like the youngest I would feel comfortable with. 30.
28, 29. Oh, you're going to...
Oh, Leo. Okay, do you know me? Leo.
Leo Mel DiCaprio. Let Joe finish.
No, I'm throwing a dish. Oh.
I'm not doing this. What? Get the questions out, look.
Super Max. Super Max.
You know what a Super Max is? Yeah. You know the dollar amount on a Super Max? I don't think that's fair when men do that to women.
Yeah, it's not. It's not.
I don't think it's fair when men do that to women. I agree.
Let me get in my mark back. I don't think it's fair.
I'm doing it still. So you're doing it for content forever.
But I don't think that's fair when niggas do that. Got it.
That's not right, because it's like projection almost. Like, we want that.
It's like it's almost to say, like, we would do it, so you would do it. Very much so.
Man. Very much so.
You guys really act like if you had vaginas, you would just be letting the lips just flap all over the fucking place like you wouldn't have any respect for it whatsoever. Well, wouldn't that be totally fine? Do I get to do it? Well, first of all, I already said I'm doing it.
I said that already. Two, do I get to do it under the same guise and veil that most women do it where it gets to be unspoken about, like secret society where nobody can talk about my wholeness and how many mouths I put on my pussy because if nobody can ever say nothing about it then you're definitely doing it 1000% are you crazy? the same rules apply and if I catch when he's a little young anyway I'm projecting again what were we talking about? supermax no we wouldn't talk about that no more.
We were talking about Drake. Oh, Drake.
We were talking about Drake and he mentions the guy's name right now.
We can't talk about it, but I just thought
that was...
You can't say I'm
sitting in Cade Cunningham's
locker at the
Palace or whatever the shit is in Detroit now.
Shout out to the D. And Cade
left his Crocs in here.
So I took him, and now I'm fucking this girl in the Crocs.
He said it was in the locker room?
Yeah, he said he was sitting in the locker.
I guess he had a game in there or whatever.
Who knows?
And he was sitting in Cade's locker,
and he said Cade left his Crocs.
So he said he took him.
I got a hair right now. And then he fucked home, girl.
I'm not putting sauce on it.
It says that verbatim.
I just fucked your bitch. Yeah, that ain't that.
Fl he fucked home, girl. I'm not putting sauce on it.
It says that verbatim. I just fucked your bitch.
Yeah, that ain't that.
Flops.
That's different.
I fucked your chick
in another nigga Crocs.
It's not the same
as I fucked her
in some goofy flops.
I thought you said
she put the Crocs on.
No, him.
See what I'm saying?
It's a little different issue.
That's your man.
That's different.
I don't understand
why I would want to tell somebody I did this unless I'm fucking Cade's girl.
That's the only way it makes sense to me.
How do you explain this?
Because why did this other girl care what Crocs you got on?
And why do you got Crocs on?
That's funny.
That's funny.
Were they in sport mode or not?
Because that's important.
You know what?
It matters.
If he popped Cade girl and put it in a song, I think it's corny.
I think that's horrible.
But if he...
How old is his girl?
I don't know Cade's girl.
All right, we just gossiped.
Yeah, I don't know nothing.
We don't know if Cade got a girl.
We don't know if he popped Cade girl.
Got it, got it.
Okay.
No, you said that.
I know.
Yeah, but no.
But we don't know.
Shit.
I'm just theorizing why this line would make sense. I got to hear it because to me it might be funny none of the circumstances make it make sense to me yeah I can't think of no condition where you should say that out loud but it is a good sign if you a Drake fan it is a good sign if you a Drake fan I'm not gonna lie to you if he's sneaking the sassy bars back on fire, I'm with that.
Like fire, fire, and he back then doing things today. It's a good sign.
That's all I'm saying. It's a perfect time.
It's a good sign. Summertime drink.
I didn't think about that. We're going to need a couple of those.
He'll be back on top soon. I'm looking forward to it.
Absolutely. Ooh, summertime drizzy day.
Ooh. Am I going to be phony? Look at your man.
I got to figure out how I'm apart this summer. He jumped right on the bandwagon.
Do I want to continue to be against him and everything he does and stands for? Or do I want to be phony? You can be phony. You want to be phony.
When the slaps are slapping and you outside. I stand for the music.
I don't really care for these niggas. I hate all these niggas.
I'm on the side of the music. Once I get the music in my...
I ain't gonna lie. I was in the shower the other night that the last shit came home with the party that played some of them in songs.
I ain't gonna say it. I ain't ready to be phony yet.
I do have the three snippets. You got them? There's Shop and Spree.
Shop and Spree is the one. Cheerios, and then there's Way to Exhal.
I heard Cheerios. 21 Savage.
I hear this. I think Shop and Spree is the Cade line.
I heard the Cheerios one. The whole song I heard.
I think they say Shop and Spree is actually called Ball Harbor now or something. Oh, that's where you go shopping at.
Sounds fancy. Ball Harbor? It's expensive as fuck.
I really feel like I count back to get a whole other. And that's bad.
Nigga put niggas bitches on the... Yo, this nigga crazy.
Somebody sick hearing this already
Hey Oh Do some shit for you for once you do a lot for me I was fucking with it and I got a lot for me Real shit, real shit, real shit, real shit, real shit

This shit sounds wild to me. You light skin.
Make this make sense. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, you know what time it is. You ain't even got to play nothing.
You ain't got to say nothing. You hear what's going on? Spooky movie music.
Don't play on that spooky movie stuff. Took a deep breath.

Uh-oh. All right, Kendrick, Future, Weekend, Metro.
Who else? Ross. Ross.
Ross. Rocky.
Who else? Joe. Ooh, Rocky.
I ain't thinking about you. Joe.
And PJ Case, get over here. Joe Thomas.
God damn. Joe Johnson.
He got something for Joe Thomas. What he mad at? I want to know what he did.
They're going to drop a scary house pack soon as we finish recording. The Thoughts Views.
That's going to be right in the beginning of the song. He's back to doing that.
I'm back for a couple of months. Listen, we just want the music.
I'm not all the way care. Slaps.
I don't care. I'm not going to get my OVO hoodie or anything.
The cape? You not going to go get the cape? But. Stupid, yo.
Yo, I can hear those outside. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. For sure.
I can hear it. I'm telling you, Cheerio shit go.
I ain't know they. You know, I don't know how that leak and all that other shit go But that I heard the whole song That boy was just waiting For one to catch off Boy He just waiting on it He just waiting on Little Nokia So he could run behind it Yo Where the fuck to function If I'm party I'm very tight at Nokia Why Why Nigga don't say It's on on our joint album.
My name ain't nowhere on this. And this is the record that's shooting up the charts? It's going crazy.
Nigga, you're stealing my take. Can I say that a couple damn pounds ago? You said that? Yes.
Oh, my fault? I'm sorry. I don't be listening when you talk.
He ain't getting spanky for it? He not getting spanky for it? For that song? Yeah. Is he even in the video? It's his album.
He got to be in some spanky for it. My bad.
I know you said that. But I saw this shit yesterday because it's number three.
Would you be mad? Your song, your album, you not on it, it's shooting out the charts. Like in real life, if you were that shit, would you be mad? If I'm him? I think he should be mad.
Yes. If I'm him.
Just because of how it's always been The whole Damn dog I do this You steal it from me It's always been that Narrative around him And his music with dude So if I'm him I'm very tight I don't know We got a joint project And listen On that song Yeah That's the point I'm talking about You know what I think that's just I don't know bro I think it's a personal thing Everybody might have points on all this shit that he wrote that he got already. And he might not have been mad.
I was mad when Em took me off the Slaughterhouse intro for the second album. Fix that though.
I was mad about it. Yeah, that was fucked up.
I believe you. I'm just saying.
That's a little different. Now, hold up.
That was a rapping song. Now, had that song made $10 million.
But it's our album. True.
It's the intro. And it wasn't the single.
But it's the first song you press play on when you put the Slaughterhouse Chaney album on. That's what made it and it was a very Joe Budden song.
And Joe Budden made Slaughterhouse. Look at Park.
That's it. No, it wasn't.
I hate Joe. Park's like, I'm about to cry.
Park's crying. Real shit.
That's why I got so mad. I got mad like I got taken off that record.
I taken off that record I told them niggas I said yo I'm not gonna hold y'all The day that that album drops I'm putting out the version with Joe's verse on it And I did that shit like Album maybe like four hours later Yup here you go I don't care Yeah that'd be sick What was the Response No what was the rationale behind taking you off Song was was too long, I think, right? Too long? Maybe I was whack? I don't know. Quality bars open.
You can't not look like a team player. No, you're right.
So, don't matter. You can't go, hey, why was it me? It don't matter, nigga.
It was you. I don't remember.
They leave you little ad-libs like... Yeah, I think so.
Like Inspector Deck at the end of the Tupac song You trying to make me mad I am Nah that was bullshit right there
That was bullshit
I'm with you
That was bullshit
I was heated
If I'm party I would be mad
Yeah
As an artist you'd be mad a little bit
But what if Drake comes in with a song
It's already done
But I want to put it on this album
And you'll still get points
Cause you know
You have nothing to do with this song
This is a gift
Maybe you won't be mad
But you'll still be
It's like a fourth person coming in
And taking somebody out the threesome
Thank you. You get the fuck out of this room right now.
But to Parks' point, let's say say he already had the song done and I just wanted to put that on this project to get it out to the world and you're getting your points now it's like now it's a threesome where they both my yam means and I'm just letting you come in here and get and it's still my work though yeah and it's your first number one or top ten or whatever and you're not even on it that's the's the hard part. That's all I'm saying.
They talking about this song. Because you don't know if you're getting another one.
They talking about Nokia got potential to go number one in the next couple weeks. No, that's tough.
From an artistic standpoint, that's tough. That's all I'm saying.
That's tough. Actually, maybe if I'm party, I'm not mad.
But some niggas don't care about playing Robin, bro. Everybody don't got to be Batman.
But the difference between my Slaughterhouse situation and his situation is, like Park said, it was an intro. This is a hit single that potentially can be remixed shortly.
So I ain't going to go piss the nigga off. That's true.
I ain't going to go piss the nigga off or fight with him over what could be a bigger bag potentially. I'm not even saying about fighting or nothing like that.
I'm just saying sitting there at home by yourself, you probably feel a way feel away if i'm sitting home that's all i'm feeling away by myself when i wake up tomorrow or the next day somebody's gonna feel it with me i'm not gonna be the only one feeling this that's short-sighted like you said baby he knows yo we could do this this could happen that could happen so let me not fuck nothing up but behind closed doors I'm a little tight well I said somebody I might not tell it to drink okay you don't think that they had these conversations prior to the song even coming out with what the additional plans are for it tell us tell us I don't why don't you let us know it's a legit question I don't think that he thought that show was gonna be be hit like that at first. I think that.
Don't get me wrong. I think everyone thought that song.
Yeah, because as soon as we heard it. That's not true.
On my first list of the album, I was like, I don't think he thought it was going to be hit first. Same thing with the Got Me and My Friend, the Kiki shit.
Like, some of these songs, I don't think he thought that song was going to go like that. I think you're wrong.
I think, okay. My thing is, if i'm home and i'm party and my points are coming in yeah and i got paid and i'm in some big ass house yeah i'll get over it nah but sometimes like i mean i'm not an artist but i know that sometimes when you when you contribute to things it's not even if you still get paid for it it's the look i agree no i'm saying from an artistic standpoint but also now this is a part of my resume so now the look that this has afforded me makes my price go up on everything else and now i could be a part of other shit and i can use this as the you know they said wherever he was at recently party that he did perform nokia like without drake And remember that Party is a writer first.
Yeah.
So he might look at it.
That's a good point.
A little different.
He might take the writer stance
and be like,
I wrote it.
I wrote it.
Although I don't think he's credited
as a songwriter on this.
But he may be some.
Yeah, you know.
I wrote this album. I'm on this album.
Yeah, for sure. It's your album.
album you did this I did joints with Rihanna like I'm chilling bro if this song goes to number one for seven weeks then what dance you gonna do it's Party's album yeah but that's just a song and Party's not credited on this at all even under the song like I remember the thing when they were talking about Drake's number ones, right? And people were saying, why didn't Sicko Mode count in his list of number ones? Because it doesn't even say featuring Drake. I remember that.
But what? You're talking about one side of the record. There's two sides of a record that generate money.
There's the master recording, and there's the songwriting and publishing. Even if you're not getting any points on the songwriting and publishing because you're not on the song, you may still be getting points because it's on your album.
You're a featured artist. You're not a featured artist.
It's on your album. So if the song goes number one, just the song, I'm not talking about, the album already did its number one unreleased.
That number one song is going to continue to drive people to my album. Yeah.
And I'm going to get points off the sales of that record. Off that record? Yes.
All right. See, I didn't know that.
That was my question. It's his album.
So I would assume. Because I look at it.
I don't know if you go on the anywhere and search it. Again, there's two sides to a record.
Just Drake. There's Publishing and there's Master.
I got you. So if you're getting points as an artist because it's on my album, you're still getting money off it.
And I still want my question answered. Well, what dance you going to do when it comes on in the summertime? The one leg off the bike nah fresh off the bike you gotta do the hill talk just because you fresh off the you got to who do you think you talking to I think you should just do wheelies who's calling my phone and that shit bad cause you love you love to talk on the phone.
That's his bad. That's funny, son.
He's going to be like, tell me where's the funk show? Yo, that's funny, yo. Yeah, he always thinks somebody's trying to be funny.
You seen me dance to a song before? Yes. I'm sure I am.
You be getting crazy. Ish, there's nothing wrong with this.
Look at you. You can dance.
But wait, you see me dance to a song. You didn't say that shit was crazy.
Yes, he's the grumpiest man on earth. You're like my dad now.
Chill out. It's all right.
I seen you dance to a song. You probably did.
And I seen you fuck that tall girl on the waterbed. Yo, what you seen it? Wow,
I did not see it again.
You watched,
like you watched Watch?
I was right there at the door.
That nigga's nasty, bro.
No,
if you fucked him,
he in the house,
he gonna be right there.
He come with a cup.
He's going to be right there.
If you fucking anywhere
and go there,
and he's not hiding.
Nothing is a secret about this.
Y'all are so close to gay
and don't,
like y'all are right there.
Yo.
This nigga don't play,
y'all.
This nigga does not play. Last week, y'all taking off your shirts.
I mean, y'all be having... Who took off their shirts? You and him.
My hoodie, nigga. I ain't getting my...
That's a distinction without a difference. I think that's homophobic.
Y'all are just robing with each other. I think that's homophobic to even do what you're doing.
No, I want you two to come out so we can embrace you. No.
I'm not coming out. Now you're trying to out people.
Now you're trying to out people. And you're forcing and you're trying to out niggas.
Oh, wow. I'm not trying to out them.
I think when they decided to have an underwear comparison on set, that was kind of them self-outing. So you think only gay men do that? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I do. And I'm comfortable saying that.
It's not true. If they had sex with each other, you should be ashamed of yourself.
It would be less gay than what they do on set. See, that's why CNN handled this.
He went in here with strong opinions. And I think they should burn it out.
Oh, yeah? Come, come. Let me burn this email.
Let me send this fiery email to your fucking... Courtesy of Mr.
Hill. Yeah, fuck.
gay men. What? Where are we, though? Why do we got to speak of that? Okay, go on.
Have you a moment? Have you a moment? Go ahead. No, no, no.
It was just interesting. On Reddit, I saw a couple of lists of gay men ranking the sexiest men on the JBP.
Oh, really? Wait, what? Which Reddit? You know, it's a few Reddits. It's a few Reddits.
It was the JBP Reddit. It wasn't like a...
It's a few JVP Reddit. It wasn't freaking Reddit.
It's a few JVP Reddit. They took their headphones off.
And I'm going to read this list to you. Why? Please don't.
Why not in your phone? Because I sent it to my wife because I was upset. Oh.
Why, you came in last? You third to last, yeah. Yo, that's great.
Number one was Imani. Number two was Joe.
Number three was King Wawa over here. Number four was Flip.
No, nigga. No.
Number five was Ice. That's gay.
I don't like it. Number six was Corey.
Number seven was Kino. Oh, my God.
Number eight was Mark, parentheses, depending on his haircut, could move up. Parks, depending on his hair day, he could move up.
And then Ian, could move up depending on what he wears for the day. So, I mean, I think part of it is just reading who's available and who's not.
Depending on what gel you got in that day. You know what I mean? You get the Superman curl, you're going to fly..
I just, I just, I was like, no offense. You don't want to be fire? I was going to save this for Patreon, but it just seemed to flow naturally at this moment.
You don't want to be fire. I just want y'all to know where you rank.
And Flip, I was very proud of you. I don't want to do good on no list that E is one on.
Why you proud of me for, Mark? You jealous of E on the gay rankings? No, but I am now that you said it. I know how the game goes.
Yeah, that's crazy. Because of how you responded to it.
You didn't, you know what I mean? Like, it's a mature, healthy response. People make lists of you.
No, what's funny about you, now that I know you be on the Reddits, so you didn't see the Reddit of the Mark Hive. No.
You didn't see the Reddit of the lady saying, hey, y'all, can I just be honest as a woman? Can I speak to the women of the JVP community? Oh, Lord. And then I clicked on it, of course, because I'm a woman.
Right. I'm a messy bitch and I went to it.
They were calling me, so click, click. And they were like, hey, bitch.
Hey, bitch. Hey, bitch.
And they said, I just want to be honest with y'all.
Dr. Mark Lamont.
And then it was like 150 posts underneath of the women saying that Dr. Mark Lamont has come in here and just put it all to shame.
So you're number one on a lot of-
Go ahead now.
They start talking about that PhD shit.
No, I don't read this stuff. A couple of them said, hey said hey if he just the pants get one size bigger than I'm there but they was in there sorry girl but they were singing your praises in there oh that's all love I appreciate that I appreciate that but I just thought this list was fascinating nah nah take me off that list yeah take me we don't want to be on that list I I'll tell Imani.
I'm sure he'll be happy. Well, that's bad.
Yo, y'all ain't shit. Am I lying? Yeah, no.
Fuck that. I'm married.
You know what? Actually, yo. Right.
Yo, you know what you do? Let me tell you something. I love him, but don't tell him who made the list.
That's like Imani. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.
He do that with his mouth. You know what? Let me tell you something.
You and these people with these lists I tell you
look at Andrew
he's talking
yo he might
sit down
we gonna say this
the way he here
we gonna say this
the way he here
I roast him when he here
but yeah
I just wanted to share

Let's do this. Get me off that list, please, y'all.
Listen, I'm going to be extremely unattractive. You're loved, Flip.
You should appreciate that. I don't know.
Embrace it, man. They love you.
Nope.
No.
Just relax and embrace it.
That's peace.
Oh, shit.
They said it to the nigga in Shawshank Redemption, remember?
I never saw it, but I'll get you.
Oh, yeah.
You never saw Shawshank Redemption?
We're not doing this again.
We did it already.
Oh, we did that.
Okay.
What?
Took his black heart?
That's, come on.
It's a great.
It's a gray card. Gray card? Yeah.
You still got the black one. You still haven't watched it? I just haven't had it.
I should have watched that instead of yours the other day. That was that.
Damn. Shit.
Yeah, Zach, clean it up, nigga. Clean it up.

Yeah, she heard it up. Now you got the fucking sound effect.
Now you got the fucking sound effect. You know who heard that, Ma? Clean it up.

Quick, mention another kid. You did do that.
Yeah. I'm just kidding, though.
Don't look to the sound like that. It's okay.
No worries. That's fine.
Shawshank Redemption might be a little bit better than mine. Okay.
Debatable. It's debatable.
Takes all kinds. I got to watch this movie.
Please. You still ain't watching it yet, nigga.
No. You be the first one to watch this movie.
I don't like how she barked on me after that last one, honestly, if you want to get... No, no, I knew that's what it was.
I'm not all the way over. She didn't apologize about that, did she? Yeah, like, no.
My voice is too powerful for the shit on me like that. I mean, she did it on purpose.
Wait, what are we talking about? He's talking about when you said that, how angry you were that he didn't watch your movie when he was the first one to watch it. And he said he wouldn't critique it because he wanted to be respectful to your feelings.
Like, I made it my business that weekend to watch it. And it was mad, lit shit going on that weekend.
You know what? Nah. I'm in the house this weekend because I will not go back to work together.
So yeah, no, you ain't getting that again from me. I apologize.
No, fuck that. All right, fuck, sorry.
But I ain't gonna watch it. Okay.
I ain't gonna watch it. On your own term I ain't gonna watch it What's the name of it? It's like Trapped in the Spotlight It's That's not nice, don't laugh Moving right along Moving right along I was giving promo for anybody else I appreciate that You've been watching the Natalia Grace I'm caught up I finally started it It is in fact a comedy I don't think they intended it to be a comedy It don't matter, it's the funniest thing in the world It's the funniest show out Good American Family Have you seen the girl's face? yeah she's a dwarf she has dwarfism
okay
yeah but that's not an excuse
for her looking like that
because if you see
the real Natalia Grace
who they say had dwarfism
she wasn't this funny looking
and I don't
I don't want to say that
because it might be the makeup
no they're making this girl
look funny like this
the real Natalia Grace
didn't have all these mouth problems
she just looked like
she wasn't how old
they said she was
Thank you. be the makeup.
No, they're making this girl look funny like this. The real N'Tag Race didn't have all these mouth problems.
She just looked like she wasn't that old they said she was. This girl they're making look funny, but Hulu is like that.
They'll emphasize some shit just for... The dad is really the funniest part for me.
The dad is the doofiest dude I've ever seen in my entire life on a TV show. The real dad is doofy, though.
No, he's... The real dad is doofy.
The real dad is like... He's creepy doofy.
He's like a reality show star. So is this dad.
Yeah, this dad definitely is that. Yo, I watched Long Island, Doc, too.
Did you watch it yet? No. The Gilgo Beach one, right? Oh, man, Joe.
You don't know what you're missing. That's a good one, yeah.
Oh, for a lip to say that, that's crazy. I didn't even record him.
You don't know what you're missing, bro. He was just doing shit.
I cut it on when y'all said to watch it. I don't do well with girls getting kidnapped.
I see what you're, okay. And the first 20 minutes, this nigga was getting his shit off.
So I cut it off. I don't.
Did they not get kidnapped? Am I wrong? No, they didn't. They were sex workers.
Yeah. I guess there's still some level of kidnapping there, but...
Yeah. They were still...
They were sex workers that were being tired of being kidnapped, folks. Killed.
Yeah, and murdered. See, I didn't get that far.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't...
Yeah, I don't like that. But you watch the fucking...
You watch all the murder and kill shit. What are you talking about? I know that you're not going to, this is going to sound funny.
In my porn, I like a storyline. Me too.
I like when I talk to my porn. I say that to say, it's not just watching something where someone is murdered.
It's how did this person get, how did we get to the point where this person is being targeted, murdered? Who is this person? What is his relation to the world, to family? What's his thinking, the motive? Not like prostitutes getting kidnapped. But that's towards the end of the series when they started to explain who he was and what he went through.
But in the beginning, I mean, yeah. It's crazy.
I feel like this is like every single murder doc we watch.
I'm weirded out right now.
It's because of one girl
who tried to escape
who was on the phone with the cops
that exposed this man's whole thing.
Operation.
It's crazy.
You gotta watch it.
Okay.
Okay.
But I muster up the stomach.
This nigga was a fucking
had an architect firm in the city. Midtown.
This nigga was wild, bro. He had an architect firm in the fucking Midtown.
And then he did a blog before, somebody interviewed him. He was hiding in plain sight.
Six foot eight, hiding in plain sight. Huge, ogre-like.
It's really good. Well, y'all can still cover it if you want
y'all don't have to
cover it
I want you to see it first
they'll be gonna cover it
since we talking about
watching stuff
did y'all watch
the basketball stuff
we had the final four
in the NCAA championship
for men and women
y'all seen it
of course
I am so mad
I'm so mad
I saw the final four
I saw the women's championship
I'm tight about
the final four shit
which part
men's or women's
men's
you a Duke fan too
Thank you. I saw the Final Four.
I saw the Women's Championship. I'm tight about the Final Four shit.
Which part?
Men's or women's?
Men's.
You a Duke fan too?
Fan, no.
I'm a diehard Duke fan. Was Duke clearly, by leaps and bounds, the best team in the Final Four?
Yes.
Absolutely.
So what happened?
Gambling.
Yeah.
Gambling happened. Yeah.
Now, Duke didn't play their best game. They clearly didn't play their best game.
So I'll say that. I don't want to just put the onus on the refs.
But that was a horrible over-the-back call. Yes.
That was a gambling is happening. Too much money is on Duke call.
That was a phantom call. phantom call Oh that's interesting Now they shouldn't have been in that position They shouldn't have been in that position So you leave it in the hands of the refs But that was a horrible horrible horrible call But cool They earned that That's Houston Houston earned that They was tough Cool I'll take it The Auburn game and in the Duke game, nobody knows how to inbound the ball.
That was just takeaway of the entire Final Four is that none of these four teams
done an inbound the ball.
Nah, my take.
This happens a lot differently if teams inbound different.
Auburn, I thought the refs had something against them.
Mm-hmm.
And that made the racism pop out of me.
Yeah, they the nigga team.
Not the racism, but I'm support. Come on, my black brothers.
Florida looking real white out there. Come on, let's go.
Auburn has the stigma of, yeah. The niggas.
The nigga team. And Auburn played the better game for most of the game.
Yeah, for sure. And I said this earlier.
What this Final Four showed me is that none of these coaches could really coach. Because down the stretch, the final two minutes of all these games, the coaches just lost it.
Like, it was no guidance. Horrible shot.
Horrible shot selection. The Auburn game.
They wouldn't go down low to the broom. He kicking their ass the whole game.
They wouldn't give them the ball down. Niggas are shooting 45-footers.
It was just bad coaching on my perspective. Well, I'm not going to put Houston's shot attempt in the last seconds of the championship on coaching.
I'm sure he didn't draw it up like that. But they had a two-minute stretch.
That Houston, they had a two-minute stretch, three-minute stretch where they was just missing.
They wasn't working for the best shots
they could have gotten.
Their last field goal
was like three minutes
on the clock or something.
I saw the stat.
Yeah, bro.
It wasn't good coaching.
Last four positions
are on turnovers.
You got to run a play
to get us a good shot,
go to the foul line.
You got to run a play
where we can get something
going to the basket.
We can get an offensive rebound.
It's just...
And that championship,
I don't feel like Florida
should have been in that game at all. I feel like when they was down 12, that easily was supposed to be 16.
Go. Yes.
Yeah. A couple plays, that lead was about, that building was about to get crazy, but gambling, if you're asking me.
I looked up two seconds later, these niggas up. I'm like, wait, what is going on here? I thought it was a laugher the first half of the game.
I didn't expect it to even end the way it did. I stopped watching.
I was more interested in the women's this year, but once Duke was out, because I'm a big Duke fan for men. Hold on for a second.
Hold on. This is Joe Budden from the Joe Budden podcast, and I'm live on air, so please don't say anything to incriminate you or I.
What's up, brother Joe? How you doing? I'm really well. We have the mayor of Gary on the phone.
We have Eddie Melton on the phone. Make some noise for Eddie Melton.
Hold up, he called us up. Yes, sir.
Hey, man, I'm just hitting you up, baby, because I only hit you a couple times, man. We've been playing phone tag, man.
I'm trying to come on the show, but I want to invite you to Gary, man, to show you what it's really about. I'm under a lot of fire for my remarks.
They on my ass. They should be.
No, come on. No, they shouldn't.
Gary was a mess when I was out there. It was a mess.
No, I'm not saying respectfully, though. I'm saying respectfully.
Oh, well, yeah, they should be. They should be.
I'm not mad at that. Denise Williams cursed me out.
We covered that earlier in the pod. But listen, if there's some good shit going on, I'm with it.
I'm with it. Like Ja Rule said, I'm down.
When we're off air, I'll return this call, but I look forward to it. All right, man, I appreciate you, man.
Look forward to the opportunity, and let's set it up soon. Definitely, definitely.
Much love. Thank you, bro.
All right, peace. All right.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve. No.
Fuck y'all niggas. Go ahead.
Sorry, Mark. I thought that was big after Denise Williams cursed me.
Very big. The hands are on the air.
Very big. Okay.
Good job. Good job, my man.
Solid work. What we talking about, man? Oh, we talking about the final.
I mean, again, shout out to the team that won. I just was rooting for Duke.
The women's was the most disappointing national championship game I've seen in a long time.
I mean, obviously I was rooting for Dawn Staley, I'm rooting
for South Carolina, but I just wanted a better game.
I just wanted to see a competitive
game. That wasn't a competitive game.
I mean,
UConn is a legendary team.
You know, Coach Gino's a legend, but like
they weren't in the game after the first
half and maybe even the first quarter. So to me,
that's not the kind of national game I want
to see, especially after last year when
Kaitlin Clark, you know,
was squaring up against, or the whole team,
I will see you next time. half and maybe even the first quarter.
So to me, that's not the kind of national game I want to see, especially after last year when Kaitlyn Clark, you know, was
squaring up against, or the whole team.
She wasn't in it? Last year she was.
She was in the championship last year? Yeah.
They lost to you.
That was last year.
Last year. Last year.
12 months
ago, 365 days ago, she was
in the finals. That was a year, nigga.
Y'all said two years? I ain't saying it to you. I'm saying it to you.
No, I think it lost its luster once Juju got hurt. I think they were going to market it up against, again, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Juju versus Paige.
And I think everybody's plans, all the marketing plans, all of that shit got scrambled once Juju got hurt. I agree with that.
I think that's right. I agree with that.
And I think it would have gotten, because they kind of criticized them, saying that it didn't do what Kaitlin did last year.
Right.
Because Kaitlin was the star.
Juju was the equivalent to Kaitlin of this year.
And I think they fucked up.
I also hate that they put it at 3 o'clock on a Sunday.
Not me.
I think when women's basketball gets prime time, they do well.
Even when they win against football. Not finals, but you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, I see. When they go against football, when they go against NBA basketball, they do quite well in prime time.
They put up big numbers. 3 o'clock on a Sunday, to me, doesn't give them a fighting chance to succeed and put up the big numbers.
And they'll be like, hey, nobody watched it. Well, you put it at 3 o'clock on a Sunday, whereas the men's is on, what was it, 8 o'clock on a Monday.
Monday. Yeah, I mean, it's just apples and oranges.
The comparisons, that's what I don't like, but that's just me. But what pissed me off the most was this Akeem Olajuwon shit on the Final Four.
They didn't allow Akeem Olajuwon onto the floor after Houston won? Yeah. Fucking Joker fans.
He's Akeem Olajuwon. Yeah.
And the nigga that's working the rope might be 22 years old and don't know the dream from the night. Is that what stopped him? In Houston? Is that what stopped him? Like somebody at the rope didn't know who he was? They didn't know who he was.
First of all, that old ass man at the desk was not no 22 year old. No, I'm just joking.
No, I'm with you. If it was a youngin, I youngin I'd be like alright this dude look like a deacon at the church you know what I'm saying and I'm making $16 an hour big fella I don't know nothing you can't come in here you ain't got one of these you ain't got one of them that's some ice shit ice wouldn't let that nigga ice definitely ice would've called the police ice would've been like yo bro I ain't letting you in says yellow you yo, dog.
Says yellow, you ain't got yellow on. Sorry.
Dream, I hear you. Wake up.
I ain't getting this motherfucker. Is there anybody, I guess the reason I'm asking is, first, do y'all have an expectation in certain places, cities, whatever, that they should let you in with or without a pass? Yes.
Yes. If you are Akeem the Dream, you are supposed to.
No, I'm talking about you personally. Yes.
Like, for example, if I'm in Philadelphia, I don't expect to have to need a pass on a whole lot of shit. Isn't it? All right.
No, no. I would assume you feel the same way in the west side of Jersey City or wherever.
Right? Oh, shit. He need a pass on.
Yeah, he need a pass on the world. He said he got to check in.
He got to. He going to pass on by.
He be playing with you, man. There's a lot of places my face guard is good, though, like on a song without Mandy.
A lot of places you just need me. Not nobody's plus one, not to be confused with Mandy getting me in.
A lot of places just my face guard is good. Wow.
What y'all was saying. That it took me a second to figure who that was for.
It just took me a second to recalibrate. I still don't know.
Me neither. I have no idea.
Are you Mandy's plus one a lot? Never. Do y'all go places a lot? Does Mandy think you a plus one a lot? That's what I'm saying.
When y'all go in, do they death? Both of y'all? Yo, Joe. All right.
Both of y'all stop. I don't like that.all stop like that he pod he pod you know what I mean bet you ain't seen that Dairy Queen in about 40 years though it's cool but anyway but like I'm saying do y'all expect your face I know I've seen you outside I know there's places you expect to go if you walk into any place in Queens if you walk or you go anything on the battle scene I I would imagine you walk up in there, you ain't asking for no pass.
No, but...
Sometimes people
require a pass,
but I'll fill away as well.
Yeah, depending on where I go.
And you go where you invited.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Even if I'm not invited,
I still go too.
If I'm not invited,
I still go, nigga.
But we not talking about
when you're out.
You saw how I came outside.
Yo, stop playing.
I ain't gonna lie, bro. You on the nice, bucko.
Bucko. What you doing about? You see how I am outside.
All right, cool, but we're not talking. Don't use me to throw a shot at my man, nigga.
No, I'm gonna keep shooting at him. Don't use me to throw a shot at you.
But my shot to you is separate. Being the plus one.
No, I'm shooting at you. Yeah.
Let me hear it. I did it.
So you're trying to say I'm not invited to places? No, I'm trying to say you go where you invited. Yes.
That's where you go. There's nothing wrong with you.
Go to. What? This nigga's a idiot.
No, there's no reason Hakeem Olajuwon shouldn't have been at all. Carte Blanche and that bitch.
Like, I built this house. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? It's the. Yeah.
And in Houston, Akeem Olajuwon should be like, I mean, that's like Michael Jordan in Chicago. You don't need no damn past.
So did they rectify it? Did they fix it? They sent his ass home. That's like when Kevin Hart tried to get him at the Super Bowl.
Right. But at least with the Super Bowl.
It's different, yo. I'm asking them.
The Super Bowl wasn't in Philly, though.
You get what I'm saying?
And everybody knows Kevin Hart, right?
And the Super Bowl is celebrities of celebrities.
I think they should have let Kevin, but at least I understand the logic a little bit of
saying you can't go on the stage with the team.
They wouldn't even let Akeem Olajuwon on the court in Houston.
The court he built.
Like, fam, y'all might have this whole gymnasium because of me.
I don't care if y'all just keep going, so I'll just take the other side of it for fuck's sake. Why should he be left in court? It's the house he built.
Because he built the house. I think some people are so famous, they should be allowed to do whatever they want.
And y'all know it sounds crazy. But what was he going to do? Congratulate the team.
Congratulate the team that just won a national. They haven't won a championship since them.
Since five slamma jamma. So he wanted to go in there and just say, what's up? Five slamma jammas.
That's what that was called. I know, but that's funny the way you said it.
All right, so. If he built it, if this is the house he built, he know where the locker room is.
Joe, stop it. I'm asking you a question.
Does he know where the locker room is? Yeah. Why didn't anybody else know he was there? They all knew he was there.
He's 7 foot tall. He's 7 feet tall.
So I'm still confused as to how the rope stopped him and he gets sent home. I don't get why somebody didn't say, yo, that's Hakeem.
Let him on the fucking court. I don't think he went home, but when the dude stopped him.
But didn't everybody else? He was outside the court doing this shit. You ain't see what Vernon Maxwell said? No.
You know Vernon Maxwell's crazy. So Vernon Maxwell, like a month ago, was on one of the sport podcasts and talked about he disrespect.
Vernon Maxwell is a part of all the smoke now. Yes.
Is he? Shut up. Shut up.
Oh, wow. I ain't know that.
Shout out to Matt. Oh, that's good.
That's amazing. So Vernon Maxwell talked about one time he disrespected Akeem and Akeem smacked him.
Who's the way to ask him? Was that you? Hell yeah. So Vernon just writes, hey yo Dream, you gotta forget you Muslim sometimes.
Show these niggas what their hand does to the face. What their hand says to the face.
Yo dawg, he can't smack the rope dude but he could have turned. He was so respectful.
He basically looked like, I can get past you if I want to. Again, I'm saying.
I ain't going to make a big deal out of it. But I'm going to respect your job, which I appreciate respecting people.
I think he did the right thing. No, he absolutely did the right thing.
Classic. I respect people who are just doing their job.
I just hate the fact that that happens. Certain people shit trumps.
If you were at a Slaughterhouse reunion, you happen to not perform that night, but you're standing there, you should be able to walk, you should be able to come on stage. You know what I'm saying like some shit like you should be able to do I think did they do that in Trump? oh yeah that's true yes y'all ain't shit man yes I agree with you I also think that if you're a celebrity then it should be in your toolbox to know how to handle the situation when it's not that way that's fair and he did and he did he did it right and he did right.
And he did. Now, you know, some other niggas are going to make a big deal.
Yo, you know who I am?
And all that extra shit.
That ain't how that's done.
He didn't do that.
So my last question.
I never understood celebrities getting offended by that, too.
Like, you want to kind of be in places where they don't all know you.
Introduce yourself to people.
Make your fucking network bigger and expand.
It's ego, bro.
This just don't make any sense.
It's stupid.
Is there anybody whose face card is universal in this country? Like, is. This is, don't make any sense.
It's stupid. Is there anybody
whose face card
is universal in this country?
Like, is there anybody
who like Snoop?
No.
You be potter.
No.
You are a potter.
You the best.
Clear out, y'all.
What's up?
My nigga,
I've been with you.
Will you tell a nigga
y'all don't need no ID?
My face is an ID.
Mm-hmm.
At the doors of clubs
that they wouldn't,
yo, you got ID on you?
No, I don't need no ID. My face is an ID.
How's that negate what I'm saying? Because you ain't have the same respect for that guy that's doing his job. As a celebrity, sometimes you need to introduce yourself to people.
They're not going to know who you are. I said 1v1 and she bad.
She bad. How old was I in this story you told me? Yeah, it was a long time ago.
That's my point. You be doing that, you do that a lot.
Hit the update. Hit the update button, man.
Come on. Come with me to the gym.
Pull up. Pull up.
Check the current vibe. See what it's like.
Just giving my current views today. The idea's better today.
I don't know if that's true I don't know that that's true I don't know that that's true Y'all go always I don't know if that's true You don't think your notoriety today in society Is bigger than it was 15 years ago And more positive 15 years ago I'm 29 I don't know that i don't know it is okay i'm just saying i don't know i could argue the other side but i won't because it's a broadcast but anyway good nah 29 i would be six years removed from a top of top 40 single my face plastered everywhere that would be somewhere near the height of my popularity, I would think. My voice may be more known today.
My face in New York at 29, we were just broke. Some of the niggas that was shitting on me at the door, that's when the tables got introduced in New York.
Joe. It was like, oh, it's going to cost you 2,500 to stand here.
No, it's not because I'm going home. Joe.
What? That's not true. What's not true? Your face is way more popular today than it was.
You're in the Super Bowl commercial. My nigga, what are you talking about? I'm riding my little scooter in the airport yesterday.
I'm just riding my scooter. So they had some hills.
That's a nice little slide. Hills.
Hills or heels? Hills. Hills.
All right, we got to ask what you're doing. Right? So.
You making sure? sure That was good So I'm just flying down there No breaks The dude is waiting At the bottom of the hill And was like Yo my nigga I was gonna turn the camera on So I could've I wish he would've done that Right Word He's like yo Let me get a picture So I know Nigga If my face Is recognizable Come on my nigga Stop I just disagree I just think My voice is more popular today There's plenty of times Where I'll be around somebody I feel like shouldn't know me at all Like 60 plus And it's not till I start talking That they're like Where you from I know that voice I know you It happens a lot to me I know of times, niggas don't know your face, but don't be wanting to be on no embarrassing shit or no groupie shit or no... That's interesting.
Yeah, because my kids know who you are. They wouldn't...
Obviously, they weren't around for your height era. So I do think that there's...
Your voice is a different thing. That's another level.
Niggas of a certain age won't even know you rapped. Yeah.
Well, got it. Because my stepkids wasn't even born.
My fucking son wasn't. Bro, the Biebs are enough.
This is a generation of people that know you. The Biebs are low.
Yeah. And then this morning, I was going to the airport this morning because they canceled my flight.
I come outside at 5 o'clock in the morning and the nigga's like, oh, shit. My nigga.
And it's me. Why are you saying it's you like that?
Don't sell yourself short. I'm not doing that.
What I'm saying is
if my face is recognizable,
nigga, your face is recognizable
in other countries.
I went to other countries
and niggas recognized me.
So your face is way more recognized.
I went to the Cayman Islands, nigga.
Man, every country I go to,
he just recognized me.
I want to go home. Can I go home? Bye.
Huh? Bye, nigga. Because I hear the pod different.
Yo, you're an idiot. Anyway.
But he asked you what country. I just told him in the Cayman Islands, when I was in the Cayman Islands, a nigga came from behind the bar all the way to where I was.
He made it sound like it was a bunch of... When I went to DR, a nigga tried to take a picture in the bathroom with me.
It was just Cayman Islands. Come on, nigga.
You're a hater. You're a hater.
You're a hater. Niggas is known outside.
He went on that whole European vacation. You're a hater, man.
Yeah. No one made me dead.
She's a fucking messy guy. Yeah, I'm done.
You're a hater, man. Don't worry, nigga.
I know, bro. Niggas are idiots.
Niggas know niggas' faces, boy. Stop downplaying yourself, nigga.
Do that. Huh? A lot of people know you, bitch.
I wasn't doing that. I'm saying that in comparison to the popularity of Joe Button's face.
It's night and day. How do you fend off the groupies? I don't have any groupies.
Hope they meme that to me. I don't know next question no no no let that sit real quick you don't have any groupies none zero at all maybe you just don't pay attention there's one that you acknowledge and there's something that you don't acknowledge that might be it I don't acknowledge any he's got admirers admirers yeah yeah so when they tell you you're handsome you say thank you thank you don't acknowledge.
That might be it. I don't acknowledge any.
He's got admirers. Admirers, yeah.
Yeah. Groupies.
So when they tell you you're handsome, you say thank you? Thank you. That make him a groupie? No, don't reverse it.
Don't reverse it. Don't reverse it.
You're not handsome, nigga. That's hate.
That's hate. That is hate.
You got to tell your man. Who the fuck you think he talking to? That's cool.
He's cool. Yeah, but y'all set fuck off.
He got light eyes, boy. Look at his eyes.
Look. It's nice.
You got nice eyes. Let me see.
Look at me real quick. Yo, what? No, no, no, no.
Your eyes are like memorable and shit like that. Yo, he said look at him.
Let me see. Look at me, bro.
Using his eyes at the bar to get the bone of oranges is disgusting. Yo, women like light eyes.
You know that. Yo, can Can I get orange? And I heard that you guys got vision issues.
Can you see? That's why he do that squint. There's a trick to that light eye shit.
You can't really see shit. That's why he squint.
The light skin squint guy is nuts, bro. He's doing all the pictures.
He say he don't. No, he don't.
No, he don't say that. No, he admitted it.
He got contacts. He wears contacts.
Yeah, yeah. He wear clear shit.
Oh, he's admitting to the squint now. Because he sat here and said, I don't squint.
Y'all got to stop saying I do not. He said that here before.
We put on pictures of him squint. No, he said that when we were in Queens.
Yep, yep. He said that before.
I'm lying. He don't squint.
Can you respond, please? Because if you said that, that'd be wrong. To what? That you don't squint.
You said that you don't squint? I don't think I squint. Or if I'm squinting, I'm not squinting purposefully.
Like for a picture, I'm not squinting my eyes. Like you just doing it.
If I'm saying, yeah, I might be squinting. It's not a squint, it's a smize.
Oh, you talking about, but that isn't, okay, that is the pose. After you take the picture, do you look at them? Like, do you think you're more gorgeous like that? You really do squint, bro.
But that's what niggas do, even when you got this. You do the light-skinned squint.
You got to look at your face like this. It's the smize.
The smile with your eyes. Nah, he doing the baby I'm yours shy squint.
It's the smize. Baby, I'm yours.
Give me your love. Yo, you nigga.
You look like you went to the shy audition. I got to see.
Look at me real quick. Look at me real quick.
He just turned him around. Hold on.
Look at me real quick. I got to see what happens when you take the whole hair off.
If you bald, then you're like Morris Chestnut or whatever. You look crazy.

You're free. Let me see.

Hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey.
Look at me already leave. You know this shit.
Of course you know this song.
Oh yeah.
No, I'm just,
I was not in the video.
I'm just,
I'm back in high school in my head.
In my head.
Any of them shy
Christopher Williams,
I'll be sure niggas
put Mel back
in a whole different...
Raheem from Juice, yeah.
Like no dark skin men.
Raheem from Juice.
Oh, it was a phase.
He's around.
No, I don't know.
That's Khalil.
I know who he is.
It was a phase. That's your homie? No.
Light skin men were a phase, you're saying? Yes. Oh, you've been a dark skin man now? Well, I'm talking about high school.
What are you into now? Like, as far as like, no, because what's, like, are you, I'm into a human being. I'm into.
Yes, I'm into human beings. No, I'm just saying now.
Yes, of the male persuasion. Yes, I'm into that.
It has nothing to do with, you don't have a type, a particular type now. No, not really.
Okay. Does that come with how you progressed in life, age, Watts? I don't know.
How you progressed in life, age, Watts? I don't want to be because you can't say anything. That was available.
Anywho. I watch each other be respectful.
I'll be fucking up the respect mark.
Mark, you got to hold me down sometimes.
Just be yourself.
No, because she,
bitch, you changed, right?
No, that's what you want to say.
No.
The male had a type.
I like muscles.
I like white guys and all that,
but does she?
Yeah, shout out to you, man.
Thank you.
I appreciate that. Yeah, don't let none of these niggas stop you.
Oh, okay. They can't appreciate the queen.
All right. Anyway.
All right. All right.
All right. Listen.
Thank you. We'll pick her up.
All right. Anyhoo, Mel, tell everybody about the topic that you wanted us to start with in block A, the first one, before music, before Drake, before anything.
Okay. We were commenting on the fact that it was kind of a slow news day, week, or whatever the case was.
But I was like, there was national protests in every state in the country. And that's when my ignorant ass said, I didn't see nothing but sunshine and coffee.
I didn't see, it was beautiful. I didn't see a protest nowhere.
I was like,
yo, nobody's talking about
all the national protests
that happened.
It feels like the media
is suppressing it.
Even on the news,
I didn't see nothing about a protest.
It feels like the media
is intentionally suppressing
the fact that there was
national,
there was protests
in every single state.
What are they protesting about?
They're protesting Trump
and Elon Musk.
They're protesting tariffs.
They're protesting the fact
that people's savings and retirement and 401ks are dwindling. That's what they're protesting Trump and Elon Musk They're protesting tariffs They're protesting the fact that people's savings And retirement and 401ks are dwindling That's what they're protesting They're protesting just like a fucking hijack Of the fucking US government You know what I would like to know? I don't know if there's no way to really find out Who all these people voted for How many of you protesters voted for? I would love to just be able to see that.
How can we confirm those protesters? Stop, because that's
why Kamala's under fire now.
She said,
I told you so.
For doing all I told you so.
And I do think
it's a horrible time
to say I told you so.
It's not even
I told you so,
what I'm saying.
It's just...
But that is how it comes from.
But how is it horrible
that she said that?
Why is it horrible
for her to say it?
Yeah, she said it.
She told you ahead of time,
this is what's going to happen
if she said it.
I think it's horrible.
I think it's insensitive.
I hate when Hillary did it.
I hate when Kamala does it. I don't.
Let somebody else say it. I mean, I'm not saying they're wrong.
Let somebody else say it. Sometimes you gotta let somebody do the dirty work for you, especially when it's fucking obvious.
See, I disagree with that because the Democratic Party has lost all their fucking balls and sack for the past cowardly, 10, 15 years. So someone should be, let's go box.
Someone needs to speak up and say and say some shit okay but the Democratic Party also has been having trouble with a farm system and a candidate that the people can get behind which means that I'm finding a problem which means that they have a problem with messaging so even if you were correct how you made that palatable to the public was very off it was very off so now you want say, I told you so. Yeah, but you didn't deliver it in a way that helped you at the polls, one.
And two, now when everybody is suffering, ain't the time to do that. I'm going to say this.
It ain't the time to do that when people are suffering. People are fucked up about you.
Y'all know I said she ran a shitty campaign. I did.
She ran a shitty campaign. But I watched some of those debates and she outlined what's about to take place.
She said it. Yo, you getting in bed with a nigga that don't respect you and he gonna fucking eat you for lunch.
She said that to him face to face. I'm not arguing whether she's right.
So now I think to Parks' point yo, the Democrats always doing what's politically correct.
The things that we should and should not do.
Now is the time to go away from what the fuck
we've been doing and start playing this
dirty pool game that the Republicans have
been playing. Here's why I don't like that.
Here's why I don't like it. The only thing I don't like about it is
if the Democrats had said the right shit
and people made the wrong choice,
I would be like, fine, give me a I told you so.
But Democrats spent,
I mean, you said yourself, they ran a shitty campaign.
I think they spent way too much time not talking about
I'm saying? Just because I don't think the Democrats' messaging was strong enough for them to justify saying, we told you so. I think that you can't agree with that.
No, I agree with you as well, but I think that this, I think that when Donald Trump's message was, I'm a fix shit, the Democrats' message might have been, yo, this is what we're going to do, blah, blah, blah. Don't nobody want to hear that.
So it's not like she didn't say it. And again, she outlined a plan and he just said, I'm going to fix shit, like broad stroke.
Yes, true. And so now I did outline what we were going to possibly do.
He just said, yo, eggs, huh? I'm going to fix eggs and gas. And y'all motherfuckers ran with that.
I think going back to the initial point is republicans especially trump and his administration and his people have successfully been saying yes whatever the fuck to get people to get up and punching you in your face that's it and the democrats are going saying nah yo you know actually well actually you gotta turn on the cheek yeah you gotta turn on the cheek it ain't feel when you smack a motherfucker donald trump running around you can't keep playing this politically correct cool game. I agree, but here's the other thing.
Tactically, I don't know if it works, because when people are catching hell, nobody wants to hear, I told you so. I think what y'all arguing is totally separate from the I told you so.
We getting away from the point. No, I disagree.
I think what's going to happen is I told you so, I told you so, I told you so is going to now start winning in the congressional primaries. I told y'all motherfuckers what's going on.
Aha. And now niggas going to be like, That's more like bitter rubbing it in your face.
I don't even take it as an aha. But what's going to happen is that we trying to win the Congress back.
Oh, not we, because I'm not necessarily... But you know what people do? Solution-based.
Yes, you're supposed to... Yes.
That's not true.
Yeah, that's true. It should be solution-based.
So what right now?
At a time like this-ish,
at a time like this,
it got to be solution-based.
It helps you win the primaries
back in Congress.
I told y'all this was going to happen.
So now when we come back
to the polls,
do the right thing.
Nobody want to be talked to like that
or feel like they being talked down to.
That ain't how you get it.
As opposed to Donald Trump
calling niggas fat
and all this other shit,
and the world resonated
with his message.
So now y'all got to start...
That goes back to me
talking about the Democrats
Thank you. or feel like they're being talked down to.
That's a problem when Donald Trump calling niggas fat and all this other shit and the world resonated with his message. So now y'all gotta start...
That goes back to me talking about the Democrats don't even know, that party don't even know how to speak to the voters. They don't know how to speak to the voters.
They're doing a terrible job. I can't speak to the tariff issues because I haven't studied this enough, but I have spoken to a lot of voters on the Middle East, just as another example.
And as the bombings are continuing overseas, people are doing the same thing.
We told y'all this,
Trump was going to be worse than common loneliness.
We told you, we told you, we told you.
And as people's shit is being set on fire,
as people's children are being killed,
nobody is feeling good about hearing that I told you so.
And voters are saying
it's not going to make them more likely to vote.
Now, tariffs are a different issue.
Again, I don't want to speak on something
I don't know enough about.
But what I will say is history, historically,
voters generally don't respond well to I told you so.
They tend to respond to this shit is broke.
Why don't you try this thing next time?
You know what I mean?
And that's what I would want to hear more from.
Like if Kamala is going to be the head of the party, because Hillary Clinton did this.
And she's not.
That's the other thing.
And I'm disagreeing with Mark.
Respectfully, she's not.
I'm disagreeing with Mark.
I disagree with Mark too.
Because what Donald Trump did was, I told y'all so. Look at what Joe Biden been doing.
I'm going to do something totally different. Yeah.
If today, when you hear him talk, they don't talk about what the Republicans are doing to get things right. You know what they keep saying? Yo, Sleepy Joe did this.
Anything that's wrong is for me. Yo, Kamala did this, y'all.
Y'all bugging the fuck out. Joe Biden did this.
So it worked. Here's why I don't think It's a fair comparison One It wasn't in a moment of crisis Right Part of How You think we had the same Economic crisis under Biden No That's my point Wait wait wait Let me finish Let me answer you I think that shit was fucked up I didn't ask the question You asked me how I was saying What I'm saying is It's easier when you're in a moment of relative stability to convince people that shit could be better.
And part of what Trump comes in and says is, look at Sleepy Joe.
You could be making so much more.
We were so much better under me, even though there's no crisis, at least domestically.
And I want to add to your point.
The Republican Party has found their Aaron Judge.
He could go out there and say whatever the fuck he want to say they found their superstar person that's the second thing right whatever the cockamamie message is the majority is going to agree the democrats don't even have that person right so a lot of this they lose on just sheer personality before we get to messaging and trump and trump has a cult-like base that doesn't care about issues they're not fundamentally they're not voting based on Trump's policies. They're voting based on Trump.
Like he said, I could go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and still vote for him. I think the Democrats need their Dwayne Johnson, Stephen A., or whoever.
Stephen A., I don't even like hearing this. Like, did all of this shit just say, oh, we on the wrong route.
We ain't about to win in 2029 either. If we talking like this.
Again, I think everything that everything that we saying, I don't think we on opposite sides of the spectrum. I think what you saying is, yo, we don't have a representative.
Right? Cool. And I think that the old way of doing democratic shit has not worked.
So I think that there has to be a new way and you following these old politically correct, I'm going to just be the good guy, turn the other cheek. Trends, they have proven not to work.
Okay, but the Democratic Party is almost like the radio people finding out about the Internet. They are the last people to find out that their way and how they've been gathering metrics and speaking to people is not in the wrong.
The Republicans have been ahead of this. Not in the right, republicans have just been ahead of this particular issue for a little while and now the republic i'm tongue twister and now the democrats are looking for their but they started late yeah they started late i agree we all agree there needs to be a different response to this moment than they've done historically i just think the first time i got locked up my brother the lawyer came to get me out and while i was sitting there i was it was helpful too i still had to stay the weekend but he you know you know he let me stay there for a long time talking to him till he went to the club and anyway he said it pissed me off anyway he said i told you so he started breaking down to me all the shit i did fucked up and why i shouldn't have been there i didn't want to hear that shit right then all i want him to do was going to get home.
Once I got home, he could tell me all that shit. But right in this moment, I just want you to get me out of here.
That's how people feel right now. That's a great example.
Telling people in this moment of crisis what they did wrong. Nobody wants to hear that shit.
They're not going to be able to hear it. They're going to get defensively mad.
There's plenty of people that voted for Trump that are looking at the state of things and saying, I made a mistake. I may have been wrong on some of the reasons why.
It don't matter.
We're in the thick of things.
We're in the thick of things.
Who cares?
So what now?
So what?
Now we all got to get
on the same page.
And this is without me knowing
that there was protesting anywhere.
So please continue.
So CNN just released an article
about the tariffs.
It basically says tariffs on China
are set to rise to at least 104%
on Wednesday,
which is fucking mind-blowing.
So he's set to impose an astounding 104% in levies across all Chinese imports on Wednesday. And this comes on top of Chinese tariffs that were in place prior to—they're going back and forth.
How do y'all feel about the tariffs playing—I'm sorry, Mel. Long term.
Long term, I guess. Every major— What's long term? His administration.
Four years. Five.
Let's call it five. I think it fails.
They're calling it an economic winter, and they're calling it a recession that rivals the Great Depression. Every major economist is sounding the alarm that this is the absolute worst thing that can happen.
The world leaders from, I don't know how many countries are saying, this is... You got to stop them.
They had seven Wharton economists, right? You pin Wharton as they like they business school. And they said, yo, the shit that he's doing, none of them agree with it.
And they all ousted it. I think that the message behind what he's doing is resonating with the people more, which is we lost the country.
Right. And we got to get it back.
I'm not disagreeing with that, theoretically. How you going about doing that is nuts, my nigga.
Like, yo, fam, you can't just go in the house and say, yo, y'all live here? All right, I'm going to remodel the whole house at one time. Get out with nowhere to live.
So y'all just got to sleep in that corner while we... No, I'm going to do the bathroom first, and then I'm going to do this room first.
I think it's a slow process and a slow burn. I want to preface anything I have to say in this conversation with it's not necessarily reflective of my thoughts and views.
I just want to try to have the conversation. Be objective, yeah.
Why can't he do that? Because you hurt so many people in the process that... People are going to get hurt.
See, I think he look at people as collateral damage. And I think he don't look at people, period.
I think that he's just his destroy and rebuild thing, right? That's why I just have a hard time when y'all get to talking about the world leaders and their response, because whatever the fuck they plan was and what been going on, ain't been popping. No, I'm not talking about that.
I do think that you need somebody with radical views to do something totally against the grain and get shit popping to see real change. I think that.
Let me just land. I'm not disagreeing.
And I think that part of why he feels so empowered to do so is because we are the biggest consumer. So if I'm the biggest consumer and I'm doing all of the spending, then yeah, when I walk in Louis Vuitton, I'm putting my dick on the table.
But there's a... No, am I off? No, you're not.
But this is the thing, right? I'm sorry, Mel, go ahead. I was going to say, the larger problem here is not necessarily what Trump is doing, even though it's fucking huge.
It's the fact that Elon Musk is in office. See, he's a problem.
He's got this agency that's shrouded in mystery. He has access to everything.
Carte Blanche fucking authority to do whatever he wants. They're firing federal employees, gutting federal agencies.
This guy's a fucking foreigner. He wasn't elected into office.
Like, what the? This is insanity. She said she's the cutest.
What? I just thought the foreigner part was funny. It's coming from a foreigner, but...
Yeah. Oh, well, yeah, but I shouldn't be allowed to do shit either.
You know what I'm saying? And as a foreigner, you should say foreigner cooler. Foreigner.
It should be a cooler way. Foreigner.
Foreigner. Yo, listen, you're right.
I think, again, I'm telling you, I think his mindset is right. When you are in government, your job is governance.
So you can't take your constituents and say, fuck y'all. I could care less how y'all get along.
I'm going to do X because now the people, to Ice's point, are collateral damage. Fam, in D.C., I read a report that over the last three months, 8,000 houses went up for sale.
D.C. is one of the highest costs of living in the country.
Fam, so now,
you just gonna wipe out that whole,
fuck the houses.
We talking about the gas stations.
We talking about the cleaners.
We talking about the nightclubs.
We talking about the Wawa's.
Restaurants.
All of that shit suffers.
So if your whole thing that you ran on
was economic progress,
you are now saying,
fuck y'all.
I could care less about progress and some of the shit is egotistical. Let me ask you a question today.
I'm not saying I agree with it either. What if my goal is economic progress but the road is going to be bumpy for a while? I think you roll it out slow.
Shit got to get real fucked up. I think you roll it out slow.
I think you roll it out slow for the humanity piece. I think you can't just say fuck all of these.
In my opinion. I agree.
You can't. Because what's happening is he- But I think y'all agree in there.
I think it contradicts his Trump point and his broad scope of what's going on. I think he don't give a fuck about the middle class and under.
Exactly. And what makes up something percent of the country yeah okay middle class and under so cool so now you're gonna have this this this this 10 that is cool but now the rest of europe because again we in government this is not a corporation even though the united states is a corporation but you can't run it like that but for him if he's focused on the ecosystem then yeah I need to incentivize the people that actually run the ecosystem and I wanted to address you I'm not necessarily agreeing with you we're just having a conversation got it your Louis Vuitton point yo if I spend mad money in Louis Vuitton I could put my dick on the table yes cool China can say yo I'm supplying 80% of your goods 70 70% of your goods.
You need me more than I need you. That's a fact.
That's a super important point. That's a very big point that we're missing.
China is the Joe button in this example, not the United States. But that's a temporary point if I'm on some build and destroy.
It's not. It's a temporary point.
How long is it going to take you to build? Well, we don't know that part yet and and and in your building process well let's and in your building process okay but if your people are suffering we got that part but he's already willing to make that he don't care about that part so if i'm just trying to change the shit i have to start somewhere so even if that says when they was talking that build a wall shit uh last time like i was like well how the fuck long is that gonna take he ain't care how long the wall go up it go up here if it take 5 to 10 years he started and now his administration goes down as the one that's responsible for changing how this shit goes and I think you could then he's on some America the great we could do it here we'll build the shit ourselves we don't need these niggas yada yada yadaada. I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
But I do understand the thinking in what he's saying. I'm not totally against what he's saying.
I'm not totally against what he's saying, me personally. I'm not totally against what he's saying because I think theoretically he has a good point.
I think we've leveraged our consumerism and we made all of these countries around the world strong. If you look at India, if you look at China, if you look at some of these countries, their fucking whole GDP is predicated on us giving them money, whether it's outsourcing telemarketing jobs or outsourcing accounting, like accounting, manufacturing, accounting, manufacturing, all that shit.
Cool. When we want to get these jobs back, it's a slow process.
You understand what I'm saying? In my opinion. This is my opinion.
It is.
I think it's a slow process. I don't even see it possible
to get them jobs back. It's not.
That's the problem.
Because America's not doing it for what they were doing for
over there. That may be true.
But what I'm saying is
whether it was Trump
or somebody else, the person
that comes in looks at
hundreds of trillions of debt
and says, you know what?
I'm going to attempt to get this together.
And then pulls out the accountant and just starts
Thank you. person that comes in looks at hundreds of trillions of debt and says you know what i'm gonna attempt to get this together and then pulls out the account and just starts all right this don't go here no more that person's gonna be looked at as the bad guy you know what this also doesn't address what this also doesn't address because what he's trying to talk what he's doing is he's saying that the u.s no longer manufactures their own own goods.
Which is true. It's true.
It's not wrong. But what he's also not addressing is the fact that we also don't have the skilled labor force that would be able to occupy those jobs because guess what? He just shipped them all out of the fucking country.
He didn't do that. Not as part of his pitch.
His pitch is I'm creating more jobs. He didn't ship the job.
But with people who don't have the skills, China just literally made like an ad and it was all of these, you know, regular Americans sewing, you know, sewing bras and sewing like, you know, like making all of these things that we use for our daily lives. It was basically China saying you do not have the skilled labor force to occupy the jobs that you say you're bringing back to the country.
Oh, finally, let's have a real talk about stereotypes. I'll tell you all the Americans that I don't want working for me.
I think that's insulting. No, that's the insinuation of the...
We could have the labor force to do anything around the country. The problem is the people that are over here are going to make $22 an hour or $17 an hour.
So now where's that going to... Because we coddle these 10-year-olds and say they can't make sneakers.
Where's that going to, where's that going to, where's that going to. You're a fool, son.
It's true, though. That's God.
It's true. He's absolutely right.
You're fucking coddling these 10-year-olds. Exactly.
Put their little asses to work. Work the little fingers.
Hey, hey, Jordan's got to come from somewhere. You guys are ridiculous.
That is horrible. Dog, what's the price
of them Jordans
gonna be?
What's the price
of them Levi's
gonna be?
What's the price
of the iPhone?
No, I know.
What's the price
of the cars?
And so that's the shit
that we're gonna be
bitching about.
So even if his plan works,
what's gonna happen
when,
because the greedy-ass
company owners
are not gonna take
less of a profit margin?
Mm-mm.
No.
Dog, right now,
right now, today, the new Nintendo Switch was supposed to go up for pre-order. That's his shit.
That nigga, man. What the fuck? I found his health care.
Fuck all his house care. I'm not supposed to.
Let me fucking land. There's a point.
Let me fucking land. There is a point here to what you just said.
No, it's a great point. Go ahead.
It was supposed to go up for pre-order. Nintendo canceled it for America.
You cannot order it because they said, yo, we don't know how much it's going to cost due to tariffs. It's not made here.
So sorry, y'all. We're not releasing yet.
You know why? That's just one little piece. It's going to start happening with everything else.
I heard Corey was saying earlier, Mercedes said, yo, there's no more cars this year. I just got an email that said all your little parts, they're going up.
That's happening to me. They come from overseas and the companies are not going to take the loss.
If he's going to charge us X on the tariffs, we're going to charge our X in the new price. So we copping Genesis now, nigga.
That's American? Japanese. What's the American called? Nothing.
A Ford. I couldn't tell you.
A Ford. Buick.
I like Buicks.
You wouldn't drive one.
Cadillac? I would drive one.
I drive a Buick.
You're crazy.
To the store?
You think I'm some party I'm not.
Today.
And you manipulate the airwaves to paint the picture of that nasty person.
I would drive a Buick.
And if you hung out with me today, you would know I would drive a Buick.
Buick, Cadillac.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ford.
Yeah.
And I manipulate the airwaves.
Christmire.
All he does.
That's all he does.
That's what he said.
That's all he does.
Thank you. Buick.
Buick, Cadillac. Yeah.
Ford. And I manipulate the airwaves.
That's all he does. All he does is manipulate the airwaves.
That's what I do. And you can manipulate it if you build it.
Shut up, nigga. This is the one thing i'll add to the conversation i just think empires fall every empire in human history has fallen we're wrong yeah they just yeah we're wrong we're wrong right now and from 1945 until now maybe about five years ago the united states has been the superpower there was a moment we were the shared superpower toward the end of this empire but we are in decline decline.
Trump's plans are based on this idea. It's like a rapper that thinks they can make the comeback.
You know what I'm saying? Or an athlete that thinks they can make the comeback. That's a good one.
We can't make this comeback. The nations, the basic nations, Brazil, South Africa, India, China, they're on the rise.
We don't have the military power to defeat these nations. We don't have the economic power.
And we don't have the diplomatic power because we lost the other two. You can only negotiate when you.
So the idea of going to Louisville to take a dick on the table is a great example. It's just China is the person with the moderately sized penis.
I don't see you. Putting it on the table.
I don't see you or anyone else convincing America of that, of those things. I don't think America believes that at all.
They don't. Whether they believe it or not.
But they believe in it based on some egotistical ideal of what the country is. Well, that's part of the propaganda.
Hey, the washed up rapper don't think that he washed up. The washed up ball player don't think he washed up.
But you know when they find out? You know when they find out? When they get injured? When somebody drops 40 on them? Or when their record don't sell? Yeah, but in the same example, I like that example. The washed up rapper does have a shot.
Maybe. He does have a shot.
But then you say... Sorry, sorry.
It's not a good example, but. Well, because they're not really washed up.
We're playing probabilities. No, no, we're talking about a washed up rapper and the chances would be, even what, put it at 3%.
It's a shot. Right.
But the problem is what's, the difference with a washed up rapper is if the other 97 plays out, nobody loses anything. Nobody.
You playing. You playing a 3% probability with the lives of millions and millions and millions of people.
There's a 97% chance this is going to end up disastrous. And again, I don't know enough about economics to speak to it intelligently, so I try not to talk about things I don't know about.
But what I will say is every economist that I've spoken to, and I did an interview on Al Jazeera last week with Richard Wolff, who's one of the leading economists in the world, and he brilliantly laid out, just like these Wharton economists, that this can't work. So for me, I think we're all saying the same thing.
We needed a radical alternative. We need a departure from the status quo.
This is just a bad one. It's just a bad one, that's all.
I think, or it's just done too abruptly. I also, not to sound Trumpy again,
I also don't want to hear niggas come tell me my idea is bad if ain't nobody else got an idea.
That's not true.
I've heard that before.
I think what happens with him is
when a nigga come with an idea that don't coincide with my idea,
you got fired.
Yes.
Or, yo, Mr. Trump, I don't think we should be doing it this way.
You fired.
Mm-hmm.
Fam, he sat and told the Republican niggas in Congress,
if y'all don't like Elon Musk, you could get out of here.
People got kids to raise and college tuitions to pay
and mortgages in high-ass D.C.
I don't fuck with Elon Musk, boy.
If I owned one of them Cybertrucks,
I would ride Toyota on the back like them niggas don't know.
I would ride fucking Buick or some shit.
Dog.
Right on the back. So that's the point.
Like, yo, I'm gonna get along because I got bills to pay. I don't think the Republicans fuck with him.
Here's a stupid question. Five seconds or less.
Where do y'all think humans come from? Monkeys. Atoms.
I have no idea. Humans will create it.
I always say that. Buy another species.
We got atoms. We got a different Something Something created us Hybrid Like the sea monkey shit That you used to have Back for the kids and shit We were an experiment And then left Ish flip Listen I don't I don't know What am I gonna say Yeah I don't know We've been talking All this political shit.
Stephen A. Smith announced yesterday on his Twitter that he is now open to running for president.
That previously he said it was off the table. But now he after looking at the country and the state that it's in and after looking at the lack of candidates, the lack of a bench that Joe talked about, that he is considering a run for president and that he'll let us know
in 2026, 2027
to be sure. In 2027,
I'm going to let you know how the public
looks at all that Max Kellerman shit
in hindsight.
That's all I have
on the matter. I don't have nothing else on the matter.
I'm not saying nothing else on the matter.
Stephen A is a friend of the show. Same.
I'm saying My advice to him And I love Stephen A He's my friend friend, is you just signed a $100 million deal for five years. That's $20 million a year.
Do not jeopardize the brand. Because once you run for president, half the ESPN audience don't fuck with you.
One side or the other. I don't care what you run.
Half of them don't fuck with you. And I don't know if you can ever recover that.
So unless you're sure you're going to win, and I'm sure he is not. That's not safe to say.
What? That you lose half of the ESPN audience. You will.
You don't know that. Okay, well, how about that? You don't know that ESPN as a whole is not really covertly a right-wing channel altogether.
It could be. Oh, you said it could be more? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I'm saying it could be worse.
He's running as a Democrat. That's the thing.
He's going to run as a Democrat. So he's running against MAGA.
He's running against J.D. Vint.
That's what I'm saying. I'm saying all the NASCAR watching motherfuckers, they're suddenly not going to think that Stephen A is all right with me.
They're going to start saying we don't fuck with him. Depending on what he says.
And there ain't no way to run for president and not say something against him if you run in the wind. I don't know that to be true either, Mark.
I don't know that that's true. I think this.
We just said that the Democrats have had a problem with messaging. Oh, you said if you run and just don't say shit.
Or say something that appeals to all. Or you could get up there on his OJ shit, I don't see color.
You don't know what he might say as a black man running. That's fair.
I mean, I would say based on his recent press run where he's been given political opinions,
but they still think it's cute because he's still mainly talking about basketball.
He could pivot because people pivot when they run for office.
That's fair.
But if he don't pivot and he stays the track he's on, I don't think it's worth it. I was asked to run for Green Party vice president in 16.
And the reason I didn't run.
Slow down for a minute.
What?
Just slow down.
My VP looked like me.
He be saying shit so smooth.
You got asked to run for Green Points.
Green Party.
Green Party, nigga.
Green Party.
Green Party.
That's Brooklyn, nigga.
That's Brooklyn, nigga. I thought that's what he was talking about, nigga.
Green party. You're going to be my Brooklyn president, nigga.
The green party. Jill Stein was at the top of the ticket, and she asked me to be her running mate in 2016.
And she called me in July of 2016 and said, do you want to run? And I had the same consideration. I mean, obviously, I wasn't going to win, but I had the same considerations.
mean obviously i i wasn't gonna win but i had the same considerations like what assuming i don't win what's at stake are you single in 2016 what hour is this in the show we have three oh yeah i was single enough yeah yeah i was outside and but here's what i thought i thought a couple things one if donald trump lose that's not true my first thought was financial when you run for president you have to leave all your journalism jobs you cannot have a journalism job and run for political office so they let you out of your contract to do it now if they fuck with you because this happens on cnn all the time all those political commentators that run for senate they cnn lets them out of of their contract or MSN MSNBC or whoever they let you out of the contract and then once your run is over they just give you a new deal but if they don't like you they use that as the out clause and don't give you the new deal they don't have to give you a new deal because that's in all the clauses Stephen A would be banking that after his run is over the ESPN will welcome him back with another deal and they might you know i'm speculating on his deal he could have a very unique deal but this is 99 percent of deals but if you say the wrong thing on that trail or something gets exposed or this you know all these stories come out from the past i'm not talking about personal stuff i'm talking about professional stuff you might be in a worse negotiating position yeah you could be worth 200 million on the other side of that. Or you could be worth...
I think this is the beginning of Stephen A kissing ESPN goodbye as a whole altogether. I think that he may have learned some things during this negotiation process that left him a little peeved.
I don't really know that that $20 million number is a number that he was happy with. And if you do presidential shit win lose or draw draw what comes from that the numbers that these niggas get on the book tip on the speaking tip i don't think he's looking at 20 million a year ever again peace that might be true i think this would be the proper propelling of his independent career if If it goes well.
And now I have a podcast,
I don't want to tell you about the money
that the Obamas
have gotten in podcast world
without releasing a thing.
That's true.
They also won.
No, that's a two-part thing.
You did say also
if you're a journalist,
they let you out
of your contracts, right?
Yeah.
They force you
out of your contract.
You can have an out.
Who says it's not consistent?
The Obamas got multiple podcast bags?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They got huge podcasts.
I know they got the one big one.
No.
They got multiple big ones.
Not just one.
Okay.
Yeah.
They got, you know, they getting crazy.
Yeah, they got some different shit.
But again, shit worked out well.
When is there going to be a time when Michelle or Barack can't walk into office and say, I'm demanding eight figures to talk? X. There's not going to be a time where that don't happen.
Fam, you could go do a commencement speech for a university and get seven figures. Yeah, but that's because they won.
We wouldn't say that about Howard Dean. We wouldn't say that about John Edwards.
I mean, there's a lot of people who,
there was a moment where they were the shit.
John Edwards was rich, though.
Yeah, but he can't get a speech at Kings,
in front of Kings, right?
Like, there's a way that you just can't,
I wouldn't risk it if I were him.
And then the other thing is,
how does your core audience feel about you?
The reason I didn't go on the VP ticket was,
if Trump wins,
and I thought Hillary Clinton was going to win. I did too.
But I said, if Trump wins, and we're the spoiler, black people are going to hate me. Oh, yeah.
So I'm just saying, if J.D. Vance wins, or if the wrong person wins, and he's part of a ticket that took away votes, people are going to resent the shit out of people.
People hate tweet me every day for just voting green.
Right?
They send Jill Stein death threats for being the candidate.
I'm just saying, Stephen A has managed to make a wonderful brand.
There's no one like him.
He's the best at what he does ever.
I don't know.
It just seems like too much of a risk with too little of a reward.
All right.
All right.
We did it right Hey! It's gonna be anyway. Take a look.
It's in a book. A reading rainbow.
A reading rainbow. I got that shit in me like fucking, like, flip.
Flip say you can't sit still for too long. I can't be mature for too long.
I can sit still. That was a great run.
Yeah, too long of a run for me. I can't.
I'm sorry. You did good though.
Yeah maybe but not right now you said that about 44 he sure did sorry though i changed my mind we know 44 came too close i'm too lit still to be mature sorry all right we do have a part of the show from someone named deron p what up deron what's that dp deron p says hey entire jbp cast i have a difficult question i need help with i found out some years back that my mother's father my grandfather was not her biological father when i brought up the topic and wanting to know who my biological grandfather is she doesn't really give any details and tries to ignore the subject there's one sensitive subjects here i only want to know because for one reason her stepfather passed away 12 years ago which led me to wanting to know who my biological grandfather is i always wondered growing up why my mom was treated differently from her brothers and sisters uh were and my grandmother always tried to protect her from the bad treatment from siblings and my grandfather. How do I approach this question and express to my mother how important that information is to me and my family? A little backstory.
I'm in my late 30s and have had some health issues arise and family medical history has become more important to me than in the past. Thank you all for your help.
That's a great question. I think that's the approach, is to know what the actual family medical history is because otherwise you're just kind of flying blind.
And at that age, you really want to know what might be coming down the pipeline on you. Yeah, but it sounds like he's tried that and they've avoided the issue.
And I think we do in best case scenario. We don't necessarily know how this lady was conceived and there might be something way more...
That might be why she's hiding the story is because she doesn't have all the information herself. Or the information is.
Or it's something. That's true too.
I always like to give, as awful as the story sounds sometimes when people don't give information or something happens, I always try to give a person the benefit of the doubt, especially women in this situation because there's a lot of factors like shame and pain and all this other shit that we don't often think about. I agree with Isha on that.
But I think the good thing about this moment is, and obviously I've been through this, so I understand, there's other means a lot of people find out who they you know who their parents are 23 ancestry yeah like i would say try and find other means if your mom doesn't help you but also approach it from a place of not saying why is my mom so being so stubborn or awful about this thing but saying like why might she not want to give me this information Yeah That was great By the way Question to all of you Do you guys think That your immediate family Do you guys think That you should know Your immediate family's Traumas Yeah Yeah I don't All No maybe not all I don't for for the I don't necessarily agree with that but for the people agree with what that you should know their traumas I was asking this question but for But for the people that subscribe to yo, trauma is genetic, then... If it's genetic, you're going to find out when it's in you, nigga.
Yeah, but you want to know why you are responding to certain shit the way you respond. I think my family is very open about that type of shit with each other.
I think we've, at least I'll try to speak for all of us, we help each other because some of us go through similar shit and if my sister or my mother or whatever is going through something that i went through or vice versa we can help each other out i think it's like crazy to not share that now granted there may be some things that you want to keep so you stand on the side of yes yes for the most part gotcha there are some things again maybe you don't want to share it's funny when i was doing the human series some of the white families i was meeting i found that they were keeping things secret because they couldn't go to dad and talk about depression or and then dad couldn't go to his dad and talk about depression and things that i was struggling with so it's good to hear you say that about your family. But when you say that, I think equally, like mom and dad,
y'all are good talking about that shit just all around the board?
Or is one better?
My mom is way better than my dad, for sure.
And that's what I typically find.
Yeah, we suppress a lot of shit.
Me and my mom could talk about whatever.
I don't know if I really know anything that my dad is traumatized about.
I don't know shit.
Men suppress that shit.
Both of mine are terrible. I was grown when I found out that my pops wasn't away at college, was in prison.
I didn't even know that. That was his story that he was telling me, writing letters and stuff, and telling me he was away at school, and I believed it.
That was let slip to me when I was, what, 21 years old. I was like, wait, what? No, no, he wasn't.
And then I had a conversation with him. And that's's the truth So I don't know nothing about That side of the family like that Medical shit It wasn't Penn State State Penn Alright I don't have anything else for y'all I didn't mean to make anybody sad We good we still good Alright now.
All right, let's get to it. The sleeper king has returned.
Ish is here. I want to hit the round of applause button for Ish.
I was going to be a messy bitch and play Ish everything that Mel said before her sleeper last week when I said. I heard about it already.

You're not going to enlighten us? Huh? Not going to enlighten us. Which one played it for something else? Is it important? Yeah, which one? You, for sure.
I'm just working with them.
Shout out to Gamma.

Tell them to keep you in mind for their summer program.
Workshop. Tell them don't forget you.
Oh, man. Stupid.
Yes, sir. I'm absolutely done.
Except for two things. Oh, shit.
One, I recently bumped into somebody putting a compilation together of AR app snitching on himself on video. Okay.
You got the one in there where he talked about his man that committed the murders? Why are you pointing at me? That's how he did it in the video. Have y'all heard this thing? Bro, this is the...
Mark, you from Philly. Yeah, yeah, please.
Explain this. Shout out to my brother A.R.
Ab, hold your head. I fuck with his music.
Shout out to my brother too. I don't make no money off rap.
I store people. Cause I kidnapped niggas, I robbed niggas.
I killed niggas, I got a lot of shit out of him. I keep it all in real.
I robbed a couple niggas. I took some bricks from people.
Recently, right? Well, I thought I was selling somebody some crap. And um, I was serving somebody some crap.
I store motherfuckers too. And I watched him grow up.
This is it. And he's the first guy in the streets.
He came to me. He helped me sell drugs to me.
This is what I like about skinny me. This is what I like about skinny me music, man.
It's just wrong. And it's like reality rap.
The mafia. Skinny me will a situation and guess what? It's going to be in the song.
He's going to make a song about the same day. So I know it's why I feel it so much.
I know it. When he said I killed the nigga and I did that, I seen him do it.
No, that's real. It's more.
That's real. It's right.
I know other lines from interviews interviews I've been watching his interviews they're like must see TV yeah they're classics I remember like 2009 2010 I hit Ab Up like cause I hadn't seen him on YouTube where he was showing like I guess like the crack spot yeah he's like this is where we sell crack oh my and I was like bro like just on some and I didn't it was my first time interacting with him so he ain't know me yet but I was like yo like you should probably not do that like this is a really bad idea like the feds is looking they watch this shit and they make I mean he was like I appreciate your advice he was all love I love that dude man but he was like it's all I appreciate your advice but um it's just it's just basically like it's just TV like don't nobody care about this I'm gonna be straight yeah he was not
like five life sentences he's got life or something crazy I gave him a trillion I like him.
No, no, yes he does.
What the fuck you talking about?
I like him.
I thought it was 40 something years.
It's something crazy.
I mean, he got 45 years. Yeah, he got 45 years.
Yeah, I mean. Oh, you can come home after that state time.
That's what I'm saying. That's not what you talking about, Joe.
I mean, the average black man lives at 65 and he like 35. But yeah, I hope he comes home.
How old is he right now? 40 something. That's what I'm saying.
Like, I mean. But he's down to the whole 40.
How much time you got to do on a 45? I don't know. It's just state time.
It's state time. It ain't no.
85? Yeah. Come on.
Mm-hmm. Well, maybe he did do federal.
He had federal and state charges. Let me see.
I don't know. Bro, he was on one of them joints and was like, yo, I think it was his cousin or something.
He was the plug. And then when he went down, I took it from him.
So I got the whole operation from him, and now I run it.
I said, oh.
Shout it out, man.
Shout it out, old Philly.
And more important news.
What?
Video footage has now been released of Kaitlyn Clark playing basketball
against Iowa's men's practice squad.
She laid him up?
She cooked him?
22 points in two minutes.
What?

It happened.
No, the footage is out.
No, you know.
I'm looking at it.
Yes.
So we have a practice team that's just all guys. They have to be students at the university.
They basically just volunteer their time and I think we were down we were down 15. So we like make a couple threes.
We cut it to like 10 maybe. I don't even know.
Now when you say we make a couple of threes was it you or was was everybody making threes? was me but the points went to the iowa so i think i had 22 points in two minutes was the moral of the story i'm sorry who cares about this interview that footage is out and we could see it and it's funny i was funny i was arguing my man the other day he compared it to page No you can't do that And no disrespect to Paige Paige is super nice But she's not her She's not Caitlyn Clark No Caitlyn Clark is a generational talent She's not her They just keep She just keep running down 22 points in two minutes She just keep running down And hitting that shit From like 40 feet Like four times in a row Okay No Salute She's different's what she's gonna be white people's answer to our zion mixtape our zion high school tape where he was postering all them white kids she on here bugging bugging that's crazy right there.
