That's funny.

That was a funny story.

For real?

You tune out.

Yeah, it's fire.

You tune out and see.

It'd be the little things.

It'd be the little things that you just don't.

Yeah.

I go through that too.

I don't have the mental capacity to hear

a lot of

the bandwidth.

I don't have the bandwidth

to listen to too many words today.

Yeah.

Too many words.

It's like somebody, I'll be on the phone, somebody be telling me a story that's really important to them about some shit that's happening in their life.

And in the middle of the story, if it's too long, I'll be like, yo,

what the fuck are they talking about?

Yo, I realize, I don't remember one important detail from the story.

And I know they about to ask me.

They've been talking long enough to where a break is coming.

And they're going to say, yeah, what would you have done?

It's even worse when it's like your wife.

That's what I'm saying.

Ah, man, long-winded they be when you pay attention to them.

Yo, your wife or girl or party They want to talk to you about oh my god, I got to give you the book tea on Barbara

Barbara You got a friend?

Oh shit.

You got a friend group

All right, what Barbara did?

Barbara shit me long.

Nah, you remember when?

I don't, but all right, yeah.

Dog.

Like, you gotta like your wife enough to listen

to, like, be in tune with all of that shit.

Like, nah, for that ass,

like, say word as a bar.

Barbara took it down.

You ain't lying.

She always did look shady.

Yeah.

Be on her side.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

I think in the first three years I was trying to give good advice about the frank roof.

Hey, she's a hoe.

Stay away from her.

That didn't work.

Don't.

Hey, once they don't listen to the advice, They get closer to the hoe.

But the hoe catch on that you want to them.

So the whole do things to me.

And when you told me about everything that your whole friend is going through, it makes it tougher for me to not gaslight you when you bring me arguments about what we going through.

Because what we going through pale in comparison to that shit that we be kikiing about your whole friend.

Girl, your whole friend is getting ran through these dreams.

You can't come to me about certain shit after we, me, and you laughed at that.

But whatever, I'm toxic.

I just found out where the phrase gaslight come from.

A topos.

A 1933 play.

No, people thought it was from the 1941 movie, but it's not.

It's originated from

a 1933 play where the man...

What year?

No, sorry.

Go ahead.

Where the man would turn the gaslight down to make his wife seem like she's going blind.

And I just learned that.

I just learned because a lot of people use the word gaslighting wrong to me.

But I learned that's where gaslight came from, and I did some research.

Yeah.

You know that.

Thank you for that, Flip.

I appreciate that.

It's one of, you know, flip facts.

I got to present something if I come late.

Flip facts.

I love that.

That shit came from bitches going to brunch.

That's all it came from.

You might, you saying the real facts.

It came from Twitter.

That shit came from a chick with a bright idea one day.

Don't y'all feel like that?

That shit came from chicks on the phone validating each other.

Don't y'all feel like that.

Don't you feel like the phrase?

Don't you feel like the phrase gets misused YouTube models?

Don't you feel like people misuse gaslighting?

All these therapist terms get misused.

Yep, every year that's a new one.

I remember when narcissists started getting used for everything.

Niggas did the psychology 101 and got them Freudian joints.

Exactly.

It was a wrap.

Crazy.

Now, whenever you disagree with somebody's version of a story, you're gaslighting them.

See, that's the thing.

It's just when the words make it to the hood and what we do with it.

Gaslight may be a real thing somewhere that means something.

Oh, yeah.

But when it got to the hood and bitches at brunch started twisting it it around like a Rubik's Cube, it meant something totally different.

Mark and Ryan, I'm not gaslighting you because I have a different opinion.

He's right as he said.

I'm not invalidating you by saying I have a different opinion.

All opinions are valid.

All opinions matter.

But then we're going to get into, I'm just sharing my truth, and that's not funny.

I'm just sharing your truth.

Your truth.

Fuck your truth.

Fuck your truth.

That's the fucking life.

And anytime somebody say my truth, it's not the truth.

It's yours.

I'm not looking for yours.

That's how they get out of it.

I'm just looking for the truth.

I want the.

That's the truth.

What part did you play in this?

What's up, y'all?

What's feeling, man?

It's good.

How y'all feeling?

Great.

Great.

Brilliant.

I apologize to y'all.

We should have just took the day off of the 4th of July, man.

We should have just took the day off, man.

We didn't have the bandwidth.

We wasn't here.

It was a very outside weekend.

We shouldn't have been in.

It was the outsidiest of weekends.

My weekend was never fucking ending, bro.

I don't remember being in the house, though.

I'm in trouble now.

You can tell.

Shit.

When you start wearing Mitch Matt shit, he went, Trump.

We just threw it on.

I'm here to yell at him.

People just green on with this.

No, it was the outside.

Would my son clean up?

Would he clean up?

It's good either meeting for my business.

You know, he's doing good with his babe, but when he just throws anything on, just a Mitch Match, I don't give a fuck.

He just.

I hear you.

Nigga, I cut the news on at 5.30 a.m.

Mike Woods, the weatherman, look stressed.

Really?

He made me look at the open the weather app on my phone.

That nigga was up there and said, all right, y'all, it's gonna be humid, and it's gonna storm, and it's gonna be 95.

Stay in, duck, run.

Mike Woods looked up.

Look at summer, summering.

Hey, y'all asked for this.

Yeah.

I was ready to go.

Why did they cancel?

No, my friends canceled.

Like, I don't know.

Somebody needed somebody to, I don't find.

Why don't you find something else to do?

Because by that time.

You can't waste a good fit.

But y'all did look lit.

We were lit.

Y'all look lit.

We were lit.

It looked like a great time.

I told Parks Outside, I'm going to start fifth wheeling with y'all.

The only reason why we didn't text you is the venues that we were at.

I was like, he ain't no one.

I'm going to start fifth wheeling with y'all, though.

Why is that shit lying all the time to Joe?

I noticed that.

I know what he likes.

I didn't text you.

I didn't invite you here.

You got the illest cleanup because it comes out smoothly.

I know what he likes.

He would like certain shit.

When he asked me, I'm like, yo, nigga, I don't know, nigga.

But y'all just.

They know me.

That really is friends.

Y'all love him.

They know me.

And you know me, too.

You know I wouldn't go nowhere you at.

That's not true.

Outside of it.

When I watch where you've been,

you saw I was outside lit.

Watch it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I never said you wasn't literally.

I never said you wasn't literally lit.

You never said you wasn't lit.

Don't lie on me.

You stated that you saw when me and you stepped in Starlitz, the love.

When I'm outside, I get love.

The places that I be at, yeah, you may not be, but you will hang out with me.

You would hang out with me outside.

Don't act like you wouldn't hang out with me outside, your boy.

Not where you go.

But you hang out.

So I had to go where you go.

You couldn't be the determiner of the location.

Really?

Not at all.

No way.

Now, as filming Flint.

It is true for me.

Listen, Flip.

And listen, I'm I'm filming.

That's a fact.

That's a fact, yeah.

Not necessarily, but yeah, true.

In the daytime, she's talking about not in the night.

They had

Houdini told me about y'all.

Ooh.

Houdini.

Don't worry about it.

I got it.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry.

You got to be up hip-hop.

I'm in a hip-hop mood today.

You know what I mean?

Oh, I teach you.

Yep.

Claffy.

Anyway, y'all had a blast, right?

That was cool.

Look, it just hit him.

It just hit him.

Look, it just hit him.

He's old enough.

What you did, Ish?

What did you do on the fourth?

What's your fifth?

The fourth.

Went locally and seen some fireworks in my hood.

Fifth.

Just like a LeBlock?

Nah, nah, nah.

Like.

Some of the suburban towns, they do the fireworks for the town.

Oh, okay.

Ayo, did you take them?

Did you take the picture?

Did you take the fireworks?

Did you take the picture?

You know, like when you watch the movies and you had your daughter hand and your girl got the other side of the hand, like y'all just standing there watching the fireworks.

And the pictures from behind?

Yeah, yeah, I took the little family picture.

Oh, you should have.

You just sat in the car?

Did you get out?

Did you sat in the car?

Did you sat in the car?

No, they do it in the park.

Oh, so you got out and watched it.

Did you have the little folding chairs?

Yeah.

Oh, nice, nice, nice.

I was making fun of people.

They had like a snitch line that they posted on Twitter to call on people letting off fireworks.

And I thought thought that was the funniest thing in the world Yeah, people are doing that until I woke up on the fifth and went outside in my backyard and there was just like a fucking war zone out there and I didn't see one firework.

I was tight.

No, that should be crazy.

And people that be having like you got dog used to have dogs.

The dogs be going crazy with that.

No, animals and vets.

Yeah, vets.

Like, I was going to ask you guys, do you guys think that

fireworks are like over?

Like, it's kind of like outdated?

Like, we should.

Toronto had like a drone show, and it was really beautiful.

Boom.

And we're excited.

You want the shit up.

You in Jersey.

You want you to watch online?

Girl, boo-hoo.

Drones, drones.

What does that mean?

It's drones, but it's designs in the skies and stuff like that.

It's a light display.

It's really beautiful.

You know, there are towns in New Jersey that also do a drone show.

But in the hook.

If you search it, you can find it.

We blowing shit up.

Apparently, blowing

shit, your hands, all kinds of shit up.

Damn.

Fourth of July, let me know how old I was.

I was in the house all night just startled every time

Every single time.

You know, if it was a firework, a gunshot, sometimes both.

It was like, woohoo, ooh, wait.

What time are they?

I'm 40 right now.

Yeah, then when it got to midnight, then when it got to midnight, it kicked up a little bit.

I was thinking that it would be bedtime a little bit.

It was not.

It was not.

It was not.

No, I started getting old.

That shit was waking my daughter up.

Yeah,

but then I just sat down after the appreciated life.

That used to be me.

Social trouble.

That used to be me.

I would make sure on 4th of July, well, in my teenage years, it was the weapons on the roofs.

But

as an adult, I made sure I had some big-ass fireworks to put on the show for the kids.

Yeah, you used to have the big shit with the

mortars in there.

Yeah, but it took on a different

symbolism when it was kids around.

Yeah, church or truck.

I didn't want to see it.

Yeah, like imagine that.

Like,

niggas couldn't afford no fucking fireworks in the 80s when I was four.

What's on?

My parents want to crack.

What?

What?

And statistics say it wasn't just mine.

By the way,

y'all can do that.

Oh, whoa,

whoa, be easy, brother.

The stats saved that.

Don't

firework.

Anyways,

anywhere y'all y'all want to go, I'm down to go.

Anywhere y'all want to go, I'm down to go.

Drake.

Drake released some music that was Friday night.

He told everybody to be on, be at a certain place at 9 p.m.

I don't know where.

YouTube.

It was YouTube.

It was a stream.

YouTube.

They were streaming at 9 p.m.

It was him in the truck driving around Toronto, cursing motherfuckers out, get a lot of love from the fans.

Well, first he was in the ice place building,

measuring ice blocks.

Yeah.

It was an interesting stream.

We'll fold that up right now.

Yeah, he was in the Icebox making ice.

He previewed some unreleased music when he got in the truck, drove around, and then the song came that everybody was waiting for, which is what we assume to be his first single off of this Iceman run he's on.

And he releasing an episodic series.

It seems that way, yeah.

So I think that was episode one of his Iceman video series that he's doing.

Drake gonna always think of some fly shit, fly unique shit for his rollout.

Definitely

family.

Definitely gonna be familiar.

We know that he loves all these streamers and the streamer kids.

So I mean, it was a flyway.

It was a flyway to release music.

It was a flyway to get everybody centralized at 9 p.m.

on a Friday.

They said Mad People was in there.

I'm sure

a lot of people in there.

A lot of people in there.

I'm sure.

The stream itself was fairly boring, in my opinion, but I do appreciate the ingenuity of it.

I'm sure he'll get better.

It was.

It took too long to get to him being in a truck.

It was just quiet.

It was not much going on, except for like background noise for like

90% of the stream,

but it was it looked fly and like I said, it is innovative, so I applaud that.

What did I miss?

You said 90% of the stream?

It was a lot, like I was just hitting the fast-forward, it was pretty boring, yeah.

Nothing going on, perhaps a little more literally.

He was just walking around like measuring ice, like he wasn't gonna have a lot measuring ice blocks.

That's right, retention.

Oh,

that's it.

You said what?

Retention,

yeah.

Maybe.

That's it.

And we got to assume, right, that, you know, he was scheduled to do a stream with Kai.

That was postponed or rescheduled or canceled altogether.

I don't know.

I'm not in the OBO group chat.

But we assume that, I assume that he was going to debut this record there,

had a change of plans and said, why don't we just do this?

Yeah, Wayflyer.

Way flyer.

I mean, I think the look for Kai would have been amazing, but I think

him taking it in his own hands and doing something creative is dope.

And Kai's had no shortage of amazing looks.

He's good.

And, too, honestly, I was getting a little sick of

Drake looking for approval from the streamers, like sending them the record, having them hype it before it's released.

And then when it comes, maybe it's below expectations or not whatever these fucking streamer kids said it was.

Like, yeah, I like him taking control of the narrative into his hands and his hands only.

I do like that agree and he's still and he's still working with them So yeah, no, they still cool But like he sometimes it's time for the superstar to get away from the crowd the superstar should be a superstar

Yeah, yeah, that's cool throughout the year, but I'm me and it's time for me to go show you why all y'all are such huge fans.

No running me instead of me running New York.

And he's got no shortage of

talent around him people that can come up with some creative shit make it look good make it sound good he can afford to do whatever stunt or whatever he wants to do.

You don't need the streamers.

You can do it.

He's still using the stream.

Today you need.

Yeah, you don't need, but the streamers is beneficial.

Yeah, for sure.

For sure.

It's going to be beneficial to utilize them.

They have a grasp on, you know,

the younger culture.

The massive, the younger culture.

And the retention is

becoming longer.

If you are here today

to hear Drake hate from Joe Budden,

I don't have any.

Me neither.

Me.

me neither.

Not today.

This record is tough.

However,

with this record, it's part of the reason I hired my good brother, Mark Lamont Hill.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is because he hates Drake.

I don't hate Drake.

Yeah, he hates Drake.

So we're going to get a lot of good Drake hate from him.

So I'm going to play the other side.

Yeah, I know this wolves.

I don't hate Drake.

I like him when he raps.

We're not going to start with.

We always start with love.

Right.

We can't let you leave.

We start with love.

I'm playing We Made It

because this sound right here,

this sound, the Spartan 300 sound,

the dungeon we're going to war sound, I like that sound in beats.

I'll tell you trophies, but same shit.

Trophies too.

Trophies too.

Let's pull up trophies.

Trophies too.

Hey.

Hold up.

Tie me up just a little bit in the headbone.

Oh my God.

How do you have to do that?

But you don't like this sound in beats.

International.

Yo, when that drunk, oh my god, anyway.

How could you not like these sounds

in your shit right there in your production?

Yeah.

Hit records on my demo.

That is such a stunt.

That is such a stunt opening line.

I had hit records on my demo.

Let's see here.

Let's see here.

I don't give a fuck if you love me.

I don't give a fuck if you like me.

Listen to those sounds in the recording.

Try this off for a minute.

Let me let y'all know out there if you've never tried to make a song.

When these sounds start appearing in the beat, the artist wants to kill a lot of people

or the artist heard everything that y'all typed

or there's a there's there's there's just a feeling of gladiator too with them niggas on the ship in the water going through all the obstacles it's a fight feeling

i do like

him

opening up to his people how he feels post-fight

yeah okay i'm just doing this because outside of how i feel about the song

i like the attitude of

yeah, everybody else fucking kicked up off this shit, off this battle shit.

I am, yeah, let me tell you how where I stand on it.

And

I like him on these beats,

I like him on these beats.

I don't give a fuck if you love me, I don't give a fuck if you like me.

Asking me, how did it feel?

Can't say it didn't surprise me.

Hey, who is out there asking Drake how it felt?

Who's doing that?

For real.

Who's doing that to Drake in the streets?

I feel bad for him.

Can't say it didn't surprise me.

That's how I looked at my right.

You niggas been standing beside me.

Hopping some people I love.

Hanging around pussies who try me.

Let's go.

What did I miss?

Hey.

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

Let's go.

I like that shit.

I like it too.

I like it a lot.

It's hard.

Mark, you don't like it?

It's hard.

We're not tossing to Mark.

I just saw his expression.

Yeah, but hit Texas.

We're not tossing it to Mark.

Let Mark enjoy his tea.

Let him chill.

We start with love.

I love it.

We begin with love, and he shouted you out, showed you a lot of love.

Don't just toss to the nigga that hates him in the room.

No, absolutely not.

No, and I love it.

You know what I'm thinking of when I hear these songs?

I'm thinking about the same effect that Queen's music used to have.

Like, they did, like, you know, anthems.

You know what I mean?

Let us do this.

We talk about Bohemian.

We don't such a role.

Let us do this real quick.

No, no, no, no.

Hold on.

Am I wrong?

No.

Thank you.

I'm not wrong.

You're never wrong when we ask you to shut up.

You be right.

Okay.

Okay.

That's new.

We'll come to you before we go to Mark's Hate.

I promise to hear the Bohemian Rhapsody side of this.

We don't want to.

We're this to Fat Bottom Girls.

Not Fat Bottom Girls.

We are the champions.

Fat Bottom Girls are anthem.

Let's not do that.

No, no, I love Fat Bottom Girls.

Okay, look.

Now look what you did.

Now look what you did.

The white came out.

Stop.

I came up with that song.

Now they having a white ones.

Let's get back to Drake.

What did I miss?

Back to Drake.

What did I miss?

I think that he knocked his hook out of here.

I love the sounds in this beat.

And

I love the irony in

what did I miss?

I mean, well, like

everything.

I don't know if there was, I don't know if there's ever been somebody that missed more.

That's what you think he's talking about?

You've missed

every lyric

from every album from you.

No, I thought he was saying it like, yo, what did I miss when I had these niggas around me that I I didn't see that they had other things?

Thank you.

What I'm telling you is that all of his lyrics from day one have been about this.

A lot of them are.

Apophony niggas?

Yeah.

Yes.

Fake love.

That's an action.

Friends that we met friends.

And

I thought we were friends.

Why aren't we friends?

Back to Houdini, like he said.

What did I do?

What did you do?

It's been his whole career.

So to say, what did I miss?

Have you ever heard a fucking drink album, nigga?

Listen to yourself.

One,

two,

I can't tell if what did I miss

is accountability or victimhood.

This shit is fly.

Yeah.

It's flying.

That's what makes it fly.

Either side.

What did I miss?

Does that take onus?

That puts the onus on you.

Clearly, you missed a lot.

Or,

I don't get that.

Or it says the opposite, right?

I get the victims.

I see both.

I see both.

When I listen to the lyrics, I get the victims.

I think that's why it's fly.

I don't get the accountable.

That's why it's dope.

The hook is accountable to me.

If you're saying, what did I miss?

You're on yourself.

Yeah, you're on your hook.

You're on your.

Like, yo, I should have saw y'all phoniness.

I should have peeped it a long time ago.

But what if you're the nigga that was doing the bullshit?

And then just, you know what I'm saying?

That would be accountable.

That made it even more fly to say, what did I miss?

Nigga, you missed all the fuck shit you did, too.

Yeah, I don't think there's ever been a scenario in hip-hop where somebody missed more than than him in this instance and I think him talking about that to his fans post battle away from all you niggas that called me target when most deaf said that shit

the the whole of hip-hop maybe is not looking at me the greatest I understand

but I'm a mega bop for the people that fuck with me for the summer it's like when a comedian does some bullshit and let me get y'all back to their first time on tour they got to address all the bullshit when a comedian do they first first stand-up.

Except, like they usually wait till the end of the bit to do that, though, right?

That's the only thing I guess I would say.

And he had a whole album.

That's the only critique I went to.

So, Elephant in the Room.

That's how they do it, right?

Like, towards the end.

Sometimes.

For me, first of all, this song is great.

I get why people like it.

We've been playing it all weekend.

Everywhere you go, you hear it.

I ain't got no problem with the song as a song.

I'm just draped out, man.

It's like the content of it for me is what you just said, Ace is: I hear victim.

I hear victim all through it.

I'm tired of hearing about the battle.

I'm tired of hearing about fake friends.

I'm tired of subs to LeBron.

I'm just tired of it.

Drake is too talented to stay in this place.

And it's just, at some point, it's just corny to me.

And when I combine that song to that shit, we had to see on that stream.

That shit you've been clipping up and playing.

Don't look away now.

Don't look away now.

Don't get shy now.

We'll fold that up right now.

We'll fold that up right now.

First, can we go to our senior Canadian correspondent?

Clip, what up, man?

Who the fuck, is that how y'all talk?

I've been here for 25 years.

Did that sound familiar to you?

Yes, it does.

It's

legend from the sixth right here.

The Toronto accent, like that, is this cross-pollination of

like West Indian, kind of Jamaican kind of

flavoring, I guess,

with Chess Club.

I don't know what the queen.

Honestly, you know what it sounds like?

It sounds like Freddie Mercury.

No, it is no.

It sounds to me, it sounds like a cross-pollination of that and a Nova Scotian accent.

And a Nova Scotian accent sounds like a Minnesota accent.

So if you could, it's like

it's a super thug.

Who gave it back?

My fault.

Who did that?

I'm reclaiming my time.

Ask me.

That's what I'm saying.

Okay.

Well, I mean, I told you.

That's what it is.

When I heard this shit, it sounded like somebody trying.

I mean, the whole whole trying to sound tough thing from Drake just never works the whole idea we about to fuck somebody up the we of it all fucks but that's what tough guys in Toronto sound like we'll fold that up right now.

We'll fold that up right now.

I thought it was

No, sorry.

Somebody called him a bitch on the stream

No, I thought that it was like I didn't know they spoke like that.

So I looked at that shit like what the fuck is you doing my nigga Like, sound like almost you making a mockery of the West Indian people, but if they speak like that,

I didn't know that.

So that's the other thing that I realized too after watching the stream.

My favorite Drake is American Drake.

Yeah.

Yes.

I learned that back.

Which American Drake?

Northern American Drake or Southern fake Lil Wayne accent Drake?

I like both of them.

Okay, okay.

I like Houston, Atlanta, Vegas.

Hey, pick an American city and appropriate them.

New York, all of it.

Any had dips that.

Carolinas.

Yeah.

I learned that.

American.

Caribbean Drake ain't bad neither.

That's when I knew.

That little Calypso Drake ain't bad.

I ain't going to hold you.

Yeah, but even when he was doing that, he got into interviews with his American voice.

He was still being American.

Now he is gone.

He is out of, he is Canadian bacon down.

I get it.

After that battle, I would be too.

I would go home.

Yeah, of course.

Enough of America.

Yeah, that's what that's what it looks like.

Enough of America.

Y'all got Drake fucking.

Now he dissed America a bunch on that last album, too.

And American dudes.

And the shit that, oh, you like those American guys?

He done with America.

That's what I'm saying.

No, he's not.

I like American Drake.

The Drake that didn't talk like this was fire.

And this guy is cool, too.

I'm not hating on Drake.

Yeah, he made a couple.

I'm not hating Drake.

He's going to bops in that tone.

Dog.

He's coming off no kids.

Say what you want about it.

It worked.

It did.

For sure.

Yeah.

Now he's right back with this.

This will work because niggas miss him.

Yeah.

It's a great song.

And you like

a project being ready.

If you record it all the way through this, I know people say they're tired of hearing about the battle.

We're not going to, you haven't heard the end of the battle.

No.

The album will definitely have some.

It's you being naive if you think you've heard the end of this battle.

But shouldn't we, shouldn't we want to all hear the end of this battle?

Is there anything left?

If I was him, I would say, fuck y'all for that.

Because I've been trying to hear the end of this battle for over a year.

Y'all dragged it.

Y'all forced it.

I tried to go to Australia for the Super Bowl.

They turned it on in the Australian pizza place.

Everywhere I go, the Chinese joint in Toronto, y'all sold out.

Now y'all not like us fried rice.

Like, I've been trying to say, shut the fuck up about this battle.

Y'all have dragged it.

So now that it's my time to come back out and be Iceman, I'm frozen to all of this shit that I've been forced to watch.

Don't tell me to shut the fuck up.

On my album, I'm tearing some of you niggas up.

And the rest of you niggas that got dissed when he was supposed to to be dissing Kendrick boy y'all are fucking lucky That's what I thought last night cuz this is the segment that's supposed to be for y'all Yeah, but that shit ain't thorough like like if you win and you keep talking shit I mean you running up the score I wanted to end too if he lost he could have still came back all of those names that shouldn't have been in in the diss in prime time yeah yeah yeah the names that shouldn't have been there win or lose after Kendrick I'm coming to dust y'all off on this and that just has a whole lot more flavor and it's more exciting he didn't do it like that, which is why the result of the battle is what

I think he's coming back for them niggas.

No, and I think that based on what y'all saying, because y'all are more

as calculated as y'all say he is, he heard every other person talking shit.

Everybody in the world turned their back on this nigga, B.

Niggas that was friends, niggas that was fans, whatever the case may be.

I heard y'all.

I saw what y'all talked about.

There's a lot of comments.

Hold on, I saw what y'all type.

Can somebody just say, yo, you lost?

And that be.

That's not turning your back on this.

No, that's not all people were saying.

Don't do that.

That's not what we're going to do.

Niggas wasn't just saying, yo, he just lost.

And that's my opinion.

No, niggas was shitting on that nigga.

Niggas said he got mopped up.

Niggas said more than that.

It was way more than that.

I'm tired of him.

He

to this boy, to that boy.

Niggas were saying way more than, yo, this guy's nice, but he lost a battle.

Niggas were saying way more than that.

So look, I've read something the other day because I was wondering about this whole Iceman shit.

Iceman, Chuck Liddell, Liddell,

lost the championship fight and then came back for a rematch.

It's a round two rematch in 05 and knocked out the person that beat him.

Man, we in conspiracy world.

Yeah, it was an Iceman that was

a hitman that was a

murdered more niggas than Canter.

It was a bunch of different Icemen.

If it's one dude that Drake ain't about to approach again in the backyard

for a family.

He don't want round two.

It's Andrew.

Don't know.

What does that even look like?

He's going to send subs.

That's what I'm saying.

I don't think he's done.

I'm suing the wazoo off of these niggas.

That's what he does.

I'm going to show y'all.

Buck on.

Hey, the rap part of this is finished.

Y'all ain't getting another rap.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

It's lawyer time.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

No, no, the other niggas are getting some subs on the Tyson shit.

No, I think Kendrick will get some shit.

I think Kendrick is going to get straight shot shots.

I think Kendrick will get subs.

I think them other niggas are getting straight shots.

I'm not over y'all niggas.

No, you're done with Kendrick.

He got to be done with Kendrick.

He's done with Kendrick.

You can't be suing people in court and sending out new raps.

He's not suing Kendrick.

You know what I'm saying, though.

Not suing him.

He's making a public statement that not like us was defamation.

Okay.

I'm saying.

He's saying that y'all put money behind the defamation to push it.

What's the defamation?

That's hip-hop.

Not like us.

I think y'all misjudge ego.

Yeah.

I think he thinks that I made some mis Well, I think he knows I made some miscalculations.

I made some mistakes.

I underestimated this nigga.

And

I'm ready next time.

Yeah.

I'll do this right.

And here's the other thing.

There is no next time for Kendrick.

If you're Kendrick, you don't step back in and repeat this.

No.

I wouldn't.

You got nothing to gain.

I wouldn't.

Depends on what he say.

Yeah.

If that nigga come out with three or four boppity bops and he's shooting your head off.

You late.

You late to the party.

Yeah.

Party's over.

No, Kendrick is done.

Kendrick's done with this.

Nas ain't replied back after the whole drop blueprint, too.

Yeah, it was no need.

It was no need.

Yeah, it's over.

We're super Atlanta that shit.

Was it over?

It's over.

Let me get back to this a little bit.

I forgot we cut it off.

What did I miss?

Let's go.

Let's go.

I'm whipping around on that 600 niggas.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You niggas just better not ask for no baby.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's love for my brothers and debt to a trader.

Let's go.

She might decide to say no to me now, but say yes to me later.

Let's go.

As I listened to it, I grew a new appreciation for the let's go.

Like, you got the 300 beat on.

I started looking at it as he hyping himself

versus just doing some call and reply shit for the audience.

Like, this beat is on loop in the studio, and I'm mad at y'all because I've seen what y'all said.

You could do this.

Yeah, that's

that.

Let's go

has a different meaning.

What did I miss?

But listen to it like that.

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

Let's go.

Let's go.

I'm whipping around on like 600 niggas.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You niggas just better not ask for no favor.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

So let's go is almost more powerful than what he's saying.

She might decide to say no to me now, but say yes to me.

Pass is all natty like Florida Gator.

Let's go.

You switch on the guys that support it or hater.

Let's go.

What's the giveaway for niggas?

It's TBB.

I look at this shit like a fleet TC Cause we down next week and I'm up next week.

I don't give a fuck if you love me.

I don't give a fuck if you like me Asking me how did it feel?

Can't say you didn't surprise me Last time I looked on my right

You niggas be standing beside me Some people I love hanging around Hold up now Mel Ford if you don't turn the fuck up

I'm listening to Mel Ford.

What did I miss?

This fight.

You didn't shout out Canada Day the other day and now you sitting here with the

thing.

Canadians have been waiting for this.

Canadians have been waiting for this.

You're Bob.

You sitting there looking cute.

Let's go, let's go.

Hey,

let's go, let's go.

You're a legend for the sixth girl.

Let's go.

Yeah, let's get McConan on the beat.

Let's go.

Let's go.

And he's softened up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Cause now we talk to the bitches.

Hey,

let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Niggas get punched in the face with some TLC shit on the dead guys.

Some CLC shit, cause my nigga, you gonna need a chili ice path for your left eye.

I'm back in your city tonight, walking around my head high.

I saw bro and the pop out with them, but been dead ride gangsters here long.

There you go.

I like when he gets McConan on the beat.

I ain't gonna lie.

He's pulling on, he's tugging on the equity of shit that he made hot, him and 40, their whole style.

When the beat switched from hard to that, I like the contrast.

Yeah.

I'm a fan of contrast.

I like the contrast.

He ain't said shit this whole record to me, but the let's go over this music.

This is LeBron, so.

Well, no, I feel like I called a stray.

Oh, I miss it.

Which one?

I mean, I couldn't think of who else had an ice pack on the eye.

Ross has got punched in his

Oh, I ain't even peeped that.

Yeah, no, he's shady still.

And I'm kidding.

I don't know that.

I don't know that.

But that's why

go back a little bit.

Niggas get punched in the face with some TLC shit on the dead eyes.

Some TLC shit, cause my nigga, you gonna need a chili ice tap for your left eye.

Nah,

nah.

Wordplay.

It's just wordplay.

It wasn't your left eye, wasn't it?

I I was about to say, if it was your left eye, it's just a quadruple time.

That's true.

Let's go, let's go.

I'm back in your city tonight, walking around my head high.

Well, full that up right now.

I saw growing up with them and get rap gangsters hairline.

It feels like nobody cares until you start getting out too tonight.

And nobody cares until they get funny.

Y'all been on that type of time for too long.

Iceland, Tiffany,

That's hard.

That's a hard line.

Let's go.

I'd have made plenty shit right out of two wrongs.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What did I miss?

Facts, everything.

Oh.

All right.

Listen, I'm done.

The floor is open to my distinguished cast for anything y'all want to say.

I think it's hard.

I like the regular.

I think it's hard.

I like it too.

I like the the record.

I think it's a great pop-out first.

Nokia was, you know, on a party album.

This is just, even though it was just him,

I think it's a great shit.

I want to get back to enjoying it.

Nokia going to be an ice man.

It might be.

I want to get back into enjoying the record, man.

I do see a lot of think pieces out there

of them breaking down the record.

I don't give a fuck about breaking down the record.

I care about the record.

It's nice.

It's a bop.

You can go outside.

You've been hearing it all weekend.

Breaking down the record is just doing yourself a disservice because it doesn't matter.

This shit is going to still go.

Who gives a fuck?

That's just a hangover from the content creators during the battle.

Yeah.

We'll give it still money.

I mean, we're going to make money.

I'm going to make money off doing this.

We're going to make it money.

Fuck with y'all.

Yeah, I'm going to make money.

No, but I'm still going to be doing this.

We're making this money.

They're criticizing it, saying that, yo, he's crying.

He's not taking accountability.

He's being the baby.

This record doesn't have the sting because of his complaints on it.

I don't agree with that.

I feel like the record is fire.

He came back in the studio.

He did what we told him to do, or we suggested, yo, just go in the studio and make music.

You know what I'm saying?

And I fuck with it.

And I'm not even a fan of the Nokia song.

I don't really like that song.

But this song right here, dope.

Yeah, that shit's fucked up.

That shit's about it.

That shit fucks the function.

Have you been outside when it came on?

Yeah.

With girls?

At the bingo game, then?

Yeah, I mean, if the girls did, that don't make me like girls.

Wait, you was outside?

I make speed like the songs.

Was you outside with girls?

You did it as wise?

Yeah, I was outside with girls.

You did that as wise?

Well, do you mean they were outside and girls were there, or were you actually with them?

Oh, gear up, please.

You trying to set him up?

You were trying to jam him up?

He was trying to jam him up.

Yo, you the jammy hopper on her, y'all.

Why do you always rap?

Because you want to persecution-ass Christmas.

Nigga, put their button right there.

Stupid.

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go.

I'm happy you like it, though.

You like it.

You like the breakup, even though you, you know, I know you have your artistry critiques of it from an artist's perspective and what you expect from Drake or artists like that.

But I can tell that you enjoyed it.

I like Drake music when it's...

A box.

Yeah, I'm a little bit of a boy.

But it's two sides of you.

It's a party side, and there's your artist.

You're very critical.

People think I don't like Drake music because he became a bitch over the last album anyway.

Crazy.

I'm just saying, because he presented himself differently in the post,

what's the album?

Post-Scorpion.

Got it.

I think.

I'm not looking the albums up, but he's presented differently.

I say it all the time, but it's not the time to shit on Drake.

Like, I like Drake when the bitch is.

So, when do we get our artistry Joe Budden analyst on the record?

Like, the shit that you were able to dissect and, you know, when do we get that?

I don't think there's, I don't, I hear.

Because you keep saying he's in that.

I just did it.

You were just saying we shouldn't be analyzing this.

No, hold on.

I feel that way.

Yeah.

No, yes, I did say that, but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from his perspective.

Oh, just Joe.

I got to say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I did say that, like, because he started off, yo, I'm showing it love.

I like the record.

It's cool.

So he started off with love, but I do know there's another side where he's able to break down.

Like, he's talking about this person.

He did this.

I think this is a little, that's what I'm talking about.

But I'm saying, I think the more you do that, the less you're going to like the record.

Gotcha.

I don't have that.

Some records ain't for that.

I don't, yeah, I don't have that here.

I think that, like I said, I think the Let's Go is the most powerful part of blended with the music.

For me,

and you did your little 300 music deep.

They did.

Breakdown of the deep.

But he also said he wasn't saying nothing in the record, but that that wasn't be true.

So that to me, now I want to know, like, oh, why is they not saying that?

He's not saying that.

It's very vague.

It's the formula.

It's broad.

I'm not being too specific on my first record from Iceman.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm not saying

that.

I just don't want him to continue this.

Okay, got it.

I want you, priest.

Leave it here.

I don't want the next record.

You still addressing the niggas that turn it off.

Oh, see, that's what I'm worried about.

I think that's what you keep doing.

Oh, John, we might get that.

No, we shoot it, don't they?

I think that's going to be the whole album.

What you talking about?

I think that's going to be the whole album album for the shit.

Iceman shot ice at ice man.

When Ice Man did like this, it won't be the whole album because he's always going to sprinkle the down-tempo RB shit on there.

Tom Zero.

Nigga, when Iceman did.

Tom Zero, nigga.

Mortal Kombat?

No.

No, no.

Ice Man.

You're talking about Spider-Man, the regular.

Iceman did like this.

That's why I'm fucking.

He ain't go like this.

Iceman.

Did like this, nigga.

Who the fuck is Ice with his hands?

It ain't come out his wrists.

That's my Spider-Man.

But when Ice Man did.

When Ice Man hit this,

he was about to get frozen.

He froze your whole body, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

This one hit the ground.

Oh,

slides.

I don't want him to be sliding with me.

I don't want him to be Iceman from the Arnold Schwarzenegger Ice Man, how bad that was.

We don't want him to fall in that category because there's a couple of Ice Man.

Well, that would be a good fit for him because it was kind of emo.

That was Mr.

Freeze.

Mr.

Freeze.

I don't want him to fall in that one because that movie was horrible.

We didn't fuck with it.

Mr.

Freeze is a little emo.

And I like how sassy Iceman is in concept.

It's just a sassy shit I see what y'all been saying oh but I'm cold let me freeze y'all

my heart is cold to you niggas yeah yeah

I think that this villain arc for Drake could be extremely beneficial I think so as well he gotta kick like I think we gotta kick ass yeah he gotta kick all the way you can't pussy footage your ass

well that's why I think that it will be beneficial ultimately even the Drake fans from the loss of the battle here in the studio mad.

They got a target.

A C all the way down.

No, there's some AC on, yeah, and some hookah.

I mean, all the way down.

It's cold.

Oh, okay.

So I see it.

And some Yamines.

What is leaning all the way into the villains look like?

I don't think no Yamines.

If there ain't no Yamines in there, niggas in trouble.

I don't think it's Yamines in there.

Not today.

Focus on it.

They gotta know how to go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

He's saving his chi.

What does leaning into the villain arc look like?

Like fully into it?

That's the right question, man.

That's what I'm scared of.

I'll tell you

wait what you say wow saving his chi man shut your ass out

ain't your johnny's secret shit oh yo yo yo yo

man what the fuck

you said he's like there won't be any yamines in there because

he's nine right

so he's like he's saving his chi like boxers yeah yes yes yes that's i think the villain arc for him um

means no longer trying to be the favorite no longer trying to appease to the people no longer trying to appease everybody trying to be the golden child to everybody I was trying to be cool with the ladies.

I gave y'all all of this, and this is how y'all look at me now.

Okay, so now it's fuck y'all.

And I'm a really,

I was the

biracial Canadian kid that looked up to y'all niggas.

Okay, then villain arc.

You know what I'm saying?

And I came down to the bottom.

Fold that up right now.

And now I'm...

Fold it.

Fold it.

And see, that fold that up right now shit is what I'm afraid of.

To me, the villain arc in him is, I agree with y'all, but it's like, to me, the way it's going to sound is a whole lot of bitching.

I was going to say.

It's still going to sound like whining and complaining and fake tough guy shit.

That's what I don't want from him.

So, what makes you feel like that?

I think that that's fire.

Because when he does it and tries to really sound like a mob boss, is when I think it goes bad for him.

Like, all of that, I'll cut your finger off and send it to your mom.

I'll have your tongue cut out your fucking mouth.

All of that shit is when you're trying to like, dog, stop.

We've seen the Grossi, but

when it sounds like this, you're an asshole.

We did see the Grossi.

Well, and no, we didn't, but

why do we why do we use that as a as a exam as an example people that did things in the past nigga game did shit in the past nigga look how he is like is there some niggas that could do shit and then before they got on and still be tough and it'll be real what did what did game do

the game show

it's a lot of things that niggas try to criticize him for being i didn't think that that meant that he can't be tough people try to use that okay that not you you but people did try to use it i started it i started it he can't be touched

but that was in the heat of the battle why are you tricking me with your words i'm saying that was one incident 25 years ago or however long it was

yeah hey you did a game show you a pussy yeah but

Today, nah, you could still be very much tough and do a game show.

Drake is not looked at.

Yeah.

Drake is not looked at like that from just one or two incidents.

It's the whole background.

You grew up.

If you was acting at nine and ten and eleven or however old you were, then it's assumed that your Jewish family did all right, was breeding you up since you weren't, there wasn't a, and even when Game did that, there was the story of what his brother was into,

what his niggas was into.

That's a fact, you're right.

So Drake never had that.

So we assume it's degrassi and

private school.

But now you get you some bread and you surround yourself with niggas that do do that.

And you really start moving that way.

And I really can get your finger off.

I really can get you fucked up.

Your tongue cut up.

And I might have got a couple niggas fucked up, so I know I could do it.

And

I'm extra braggadocious about it.

I'm extra confident in what I can do.

Cool, but niggas will still never look at you that way.

That's all I'm saying.

Niggas are still, even if all of that's true, niggas are still not looking

you

that way.

That's true.

That's why I said earlier that the we of it all is what bothers me.

It's that we shit, like there's them and there's you, and you got influence, but you not that.

Well, full that up right now.

Don't look away now.

We'll see.

Don't get shot now.

Wait, what?

Don't get shot now.

Oh, boy.

You know what I'm saying?

It's hard to tell a nigga that.

Like, even in our hoods where we grew up, it was niggas that never had to fight nobody.

True, they always had niggas that.

They always had to point the finger.

But you can't tell them that they not.

But you saw them because they lived in the hood or lived a few blocks.

But I'm just saying, but they never, them niggas never had a fight.

They never did nothing, but they had niggas that would always fight for them, or they had niggas that would put in work for them.

You can't tell them niggas that they not super thorough.

Yes, you get what I'm saying?

Yeah, I feel you.

That just wouldn't be relevant to the point we're making about Drake.

Right.

Because he didn't have

a lot of people.

That wasn't his experience.

Yeah.

Good point.

Yeah, we with you on all that.

And that's to the people that feel like that about him.

Right?

I'm back to the music.

I feel like that about him.

Mark, did you get enough hate off?

I feel like

I feel like we got too much love, Drake love out there.

No, no, I feel good.

And again, I like the album.

I mean, mean, I like the record.

I think it's going to be a great album.

I saw it was at the top of Spotify.

It looked like it's going to land in the top 10.

One.

No, no, a billboard.

One.

Yeah, I'm sure it will.

I heard it's going to land at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

Is that not right?

I just read earlier this morning.

It's looking to debut at one.

Okay, so I read something different.

We'll find out.

We'll find out.

I read it landed right above Luther at number nine.

About it debuting at one.

Yeah, I read it's like number nine, right above Luther at 10.

But

I could be wrong.

I could be wrong.

Yeah.

We'll find out.

Because I thought it'd be interesting if it doesn't land at number one on the billboard and what that might mean.

And I saw a lot of chatter about that.

Like, you know, if this thing ends up being number nine, number eight, does that mean that he's no longer the machine?

Does that mean he's no longer an instant?

But we already realized that the machine is not really behind him anymore.

Right.

Right?

He's suing the machine that was behind him.

No, it's still behind him.

Dalman ain't behind him.

He's correct.

They still want to be profitable.

Yeah, but it's a little bit of a mistake.

And you might want to get in the nigga's good graces with regards to the lawsuit.

No, but what if their ego was bigger than his and said, we want to set an example and show you, which we've been trying to set.

Nigga, if you keep this shit going, we're going to

have you debut at number nine, have the people talk about how you fell off.

Like, there's trickeries in this thing.

And that's what it felt like, and I don't want to get into the conspiracy piece of it, but this feels like a record that would have hit number one and it maybe should have.

But Joe was saying a long time ago that when the industry decides that your time is up, your time is up.

It doesn't mean you're completely out the game, but like they can influence these people.

You You can't be that no more.

Yeah, you can't be that.

And that's what this feels like a little bit of still staying your place.

Or we're letting you know what your place is.

Yeah.

I mean, and it just finishing above Luther, which has been on the chart for 33 weeks, is crazy to me.

But yeah.

I still, real quick, for me,

I still didn't think that they thought that Nokia would do what it did.

Week two is going to be important.

You know what I mean?

That's what I want to see.

I don't care about this.

I need to see what week two do.

Like in terms of dropping off.

Up or down

and how far.

That'll tell me me

how the label's looking at him and how he's being received.

Even though it don't affect how I feel about the music, but the game that's being played, I can't wait to see what week two looks like.

How awkward is it

when you're suing Universal,

and you're putting out this great music that, like you said, everybody wants to make a profit.

What's that tension like between artists and label at that point?

Again,

do you promote it harder?

Do you do you hold back?

Do you just say, pretend the lawsuit's not happening?

Like, how would you negotiate that?

I can't say because I've never seen anything like this in my adult life with an artist with this much leverage and power and talent still at this stage of his career making this move against Liberty.

Does he have the leverage?

Yeah.

Wow.

He has his discography.

Yeah.

And even if he don't, even if he don't.

And I think yes.

When I drop, it's 300 and up.

And that's on a low ball.

I'm lowballing it.

And I was about to say, take away Kendrick.

Music has been ass.

I'm not going to say that because you have to search for music.

It is great music out there.

I know.

He's talking about mainstream.

That's the point I'm talking about.

It's been a quiet time outside of Kendrick Lamar for the last 13 months.

The last, well, this year, this calendar year.

Maybe it's been bad.

May

we already in July.

Jesus.

You get what I'm saying?

Like, yo, dog, for the last year and change, music, especially hip-hop on a hip-hop, mainstream hip-hop side, who shined?

Drake is Kevin Durant still, dog.

Like, I may be 37, 38.

I'm going to put 27 points a game in the bucket when I walk in the gym.

I'm a Super Max.

It's different.

And that's, if you can do that, that's leverage.

It's different because

they pushed the button to do that.

We saw that what happened when he put his own music out.

Bro, that don't mean that.

No, I'm not.

Because talent went with the button.

Y'all know more than this to me, but I'm just talking from a logical, rational standpoint.

If the button was the button that could do it with anybody, don't you think it would have behooved them to do it with anybody?

I'm not saying that.

We've been

in a music drought for fucking 14 months.

I'm saying when he put 100 gigs out, there was two records on there that I believe, had they not been going through this, would have shot up the charts.

But we going through this, so we not touching them records, and they did absolutely nothing.

But when he put the 100 gigs out, you talking about no face and

I don't remember the name, but I like the songs, but didn't they snatch them off?

Something rhythm, right?

No, you're talking about, you talking about the other two.

Circadian Rhythm.

Circadian rhythm.

Yeah.

Something rhythm.

When he put the 100 gigs out, what happened?

They were out for a little bit.

I don't even know if they're still streaming.

I have no idea, but that's my...

You're talking about the other two songs that we listen to.

You talking about when he put the 100 gigs of content out, didn't Universal snatch it?

No,

then they went back and put two records.

Well, they put like three or four records on streaming.

They did.

I don't know.

And nothing has to be about it.

They're still there.

Oh, see?

Yeah.

And there's been no push behind it, though.

Which says you can be as talented as you want.

If we're not doing something on the back end, promoting your shit, the normal, why can't it just be?

Throwing you on this playlist over here because everything is streaming now.

We're not putting you here.

We're not putting you there.

We're not putting you there.

Your record won't make certain numbers.

Or why can't it say that Drake didn't want to do that?

Or no, yo.

Hold up a second.

I want him to answer me.

Like, why can't it say, hey, I'm playing chess.

I'm in the middle of litigation.

I have these records that will never see the light of day.

Let me just throw some shit out to see something and gain information versus for it to

be a hit.

Because I'm listening to you, and I agreed with that at some point, and I still agree with some parts of it.

But Drake got enough money and resources to make a record like No Face and Circadian Rhythm do more than what it did.

True.

So

I'm going to assume that.

But how?

I get you.

I know he has all the money in the world.

But again, the labels can be a little bit more powerful.

He has power, too.

It ain't just money.

It ain't just money.

Drake's name is coming up at the Illuminati meeting.

I would agree with that.

No, listen, with a serious face.

Yeah,

I got

it.

Not just that.

I didn't even know those songs were still out.

I thought when they snatched 100 gigs, those songs disappeared.

So the masses might not know that those songs are out.

But that's what I'm saying.

And you're saying that when they push the buttons.

The masses don't know what's out.

Cool.

Because the masses go and click.

playlists.

So that means you're purposefully suppressing my shit.

Because let's just take it from any artist.

Mark is Drake.

So we might give Mark the plus five promo.

Ice is just one of our regular tier acts.

We might give him the plus three promo.

We didn't even get the plus three for those songs.

And that might, and that's a great point.

And that may have been his point of releasing them.

Again, yo, in the audience, we just throwing shit.

We just talking.

We don't know nothing about nothing.

But what a great point.

I also think that, I mean, even like the album covers are just the default iPhone little wave thing.

So clearly, it was even from his side it was not intended to be

no effort yeah these were throw throwouts

to not even put you energy into doing videos yourself what artwork yourself yeah that tells you that

if he did a no-phase video if he's making the argument and he did a video if he's making a oh no no he said he said to not put energy into doing artwork or videos i'm like they did a no-phase video that he dropped yeah but slow down because we get lost in words Today, these rich artists got the little bum nigga with the camera following them around and is going to edit as they have their charcuterie board.

Yeah.

And that's going to be their video.

Versus

a production.

Like the Nokia video.

Yes.

That's what I'm saying.

So yes, he had a video, but it wasn't a

video.

And to Joe's point, yo, I throw these two songs out.

I might throw whatever out just to test the water and see if the public is going to receive me in a manner that I thought.

Dog.

And they might not have to let me go on the tuck for another three or four months.

He in the suit saying, hey, I've been suppressed while they boosted Kendrick.

So why not put out songs to show that they're not performing like my songs normally perform?

We don't know.

Good point.

But people with ears think that no face and the

Cadian rhythm is fire.

Yeah.

A couple of them records is fire.

And another time, them records are number one.

Listen, everybody was up in arms about that shit that was playing in the truck.

Super Max.

Super Max.

It was hard to hear from me, so I don't want to judge it.

I didn't hear it.

Finding bad audio.

He was in his

time stamp bag,

which even that kind of has a little formula to it.

Like, once he tell me who he was at dinner with or who he was having tea with and what they was talking about, it's up for you, niggas.

Who the hell is this calling me?

Dub for you.

Yeah, once he,

I was talking with Taylor and she was telling me she had a vision.

I was feeling down, but Taylor told me that I'm the biggest thing in Toronto and these niggas could suck my dick like once he dark

Me and Erica were talking in the living room.

I had the tea.

She had the peppermint like once that happened It's gonna be on for you niggas and stupid me I thought he was talking about I thought he was talking about Taylor Swift until Taylor Rooks said, hey, it was me.

And I was like, oh, now that changes this entirely.

You was talking to Taylor Rooks over some tea, nigga,

and she told you that you was the man in Toronto.

All these niggas could suck your dick.

That's the Joe Freet version of that.

She didn't really say that.

But she said, I was talking to Taylor and it was getting deep.

She told me I was a national treasurer in my hood.

We got to find a video.

I'm just, don't look at me saying it.

He was saying

Taylor was in his ear saying something.

I don't have a video.

Taylor Brooks, girl.

And it's something I'm saying so far.

Somebody can say the weather fans, and I wouldn't notice.

The company I keep is getting smaller when my other companies are all growing and overflowing.

The family only feels like a riddle to affiliates that thought that they were staying because they played the middle.

Losing all these friends really got to me.

I was talking to tail old drinks, and it was getting deep.

Not to be one who handle this pressure.

And in the city of the national treasure, that's what you said to me.

Only time to put me in a box is with the red leather.

Yeah, I heard enough.

Me too?

Yeah, you can cut that off.

I don't know what you talk about.

He said, I've been so busy, you could tell me the weather.

Weather change, I wouldn't even notice.

I didn't even notice.

And you bitch ass.

Yeah.

And all you niggas.

And you niggas that played the middle and thought that y'all was safe.

Y'all ain't safe.

I'm not.

Nigga, I was talking.

You would, y'all motherfuckers.

Y'all made him go and fucking text Taylor.

Nigga, Taylor just got an Amazon deal.

Taylor, busy as hell.

I don't text Taylor.

Y'all made that nigga text Taylor to have a talk about the frenzy launch.

Nigga, Nigga, y'all about to die.

You niggas is about to die, except Kendrick.

All of y'all are Russell.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, what's my bad name?

Don't like me sometimes.

D1.

Hey, hey, hey, body getting it.

Shout out to D1 too.

Yo.

Because you know, Taylor didn't say nothing to him that was going to save niggas.

No, battery.

Taylor talked about

you are the best.

They are wrong.

Yo, when you're talking to a baddie one-on-one after 10 p.m.

That you gasped.

In the car that you gasped.

And you feeling bad?

What?

Over tea.

Y'all niggas are going to die.

Thanks to Taylor Rooks.

Super Max battery.

What?

Super battery, nigga.

Y'all hear what the athlete niggas say when Taylor Rooks put the mic in front of them.

Oh, man.

They went crazy.

The athletes say they're about to win seven championships in the next five years.

Best loss of them.

She made the Thompson twins smile.

You know, them fucking athletic freak-ass niggas don't smile.

Them niggas smile, had a sense of humor.

Yeah.

You know.

Taylor, girl.

Girl.

You know, too.

Why you look quiet?

She get a quiet.

Why you look quiet?

You told me to shut the fuck up.

Double teeth hot and with all my opinions.

Mel, no, that was in the first.

That's been over, girl.

That was just in that bohemian rhapsody moment.

I always want to hear from Debo Lee.

And never want you to be targeted again.

Don't ever suppress your voice up here.

Okay.

Your voice is super important, and we always need to hear it.

Okay.

And don't you ever forget that.

Honestly.

Please don't.

You're a national treasure up here.

Thank you.

We were just spilling some tea a couple of seconds ago, but.

Oh, yeah, you want to spill tea while we're talking about it.

I just have questions.

No, I have questions.

It was some expensive tea.

Yeah, it is.

Who spilled it?

I'll keep that to myself.

What was the question, though, man?

The audience knows who the messy bitch up is.

The audience knows.

It's not even a secret.

Mark, I was going to ask you, though, like,

which Drake do you like?

Like, when he raps, what is it that you want to hear from him?

If it's not.

Well, we just overheard in that truck.

I love it.

I love that Drake.

I love Drake when he's rapping.

I just like when he's just spitting.

I don't like emo Drake.

I don't like singing Drake.

I can do a little Drake.

I can deal with some Emo Drake in the

doses.

In the bars.

But anything since the same time.

When did you gain this opinion?

I need to know the year.

I've always felt like that, but everything after,

what's up, I'm going to have to take care of muse.

No,

nothing was the same.

After nothing was the same, it just felt like I felt a turn where the music was getting more and more self-indulgent and more and more, I hate to use this word, but narcissistic.

And it was like, there's a sincerity.

Gaslighty.

Yeah.

Gaslighty, all that.

You know, there was like a sincerity in Drake's raps that I used to love.

Like when you listen to like a song like Look What You've Done, right, where he's rapping, it's still, I mean, there's a there's emotion, but it feels honest and vulnerable.

That feels different to me than the later albums where it's like, I'm with my boss, and the whole world's against me, and I have all these fake friends.

He ain't have a billion dollars, but my boss wasn't nothing was the same.

It was,

but there was some sincerity.

This is hold up now.

Let's not get crazy.

Your shit is not that inspiring.

Whoa, whoa, let's not get crazy.

Let's not get crazy.

Hold up now.

I know he lost the battle.

But let's show some fucking respect around me.

I am the kid with the motor mouth.

I am the one you should worry about.

Listen, I just want to be clear

of what album we talking about.

Boy.

This is my number one.

Yeah,

coming off the last record.

I'm getting 20 million off the record just to off these records, nigga.

That's a record.

This ain't mob tie, Drake, yet.

Oh my god, Jesus, Mark.

No, you talking about Scorpio.

You talking about Scorpio.

You might be right.

Scorpion.

Yeah, you might be right.

You talking about Scorpio.

Because that's when it was mob life.

I'll shoot it up.

I'll kill y'all.

I'll hog tie you, kidnap you.

It was that.

And he loses me there, too.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm done with that.

But this album.

And then I got it.

Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifting.

Uh-oh.

Somewhere between a mistress and commitment, but I stayed down.

People I believed in, they don't really show their face now.

What they got to say now,

they don't say now.

Nothing really changed, but still they look at me away now.

What more can I say now?

What more can I say now?

You might feel like nothing was the same.

I still been.

Drinking all the love.

Stop playing with that man.

Mark, you ain't had a screw face when this came on.

It's not possible.

I was outside for this run.

I was there for this run.

It wasn't too many niggas mad at this boy when this was outside.

Kendrick fucked a lot of shit up.

He got it done this run.

This album,

man.

Listen.

I know y'all.

This shit was still fired.

Because views came after this, right?

Yes.

That was only stupid ass Joe Button.

Yeah, I hated you for that shit, bro.

I still remember the group channel.

I still don't love that album.

I love that film.

That's the topic.

That's top.

Wait, so wait, Freeze, you disagreed with his

hell yeah.

Everybody did.

Everybody did.

It was only me.

But no, it wasn't on me.

I didn't get on no fucking album.

And then niggas ran with it because he's him.

And they follow whatever the fuck he said.

I wasn't with all that Caribbean shit.

I ain't have money to fly.

That's all the shit's on.

That's the only shit I like on that album.

You ain't have to be with it, Joe.

Wait, so now that you're sophisticated,

you appreciate it.

Oh, no, that's one of the greatest albums I've made.

That's one of the greatest albums I've made.

But he was being too cookie-cutter.

It was, you know, what did it for me, that line?

Oh, why we gotta be a cheesecake, arguing all the time?

You know, that's my favorite restaurant.

It's like, yo, dog, it felt like Chad GPT was writing these rhymes.

And as a rapper, because I was an active rapper at the time,

I hold the bar higher for the best rapper.

It's just he wasn't on rapping vibes.

He was giving us different vibes, and those vibes were absolutely fire.

But I was still looking for fire raps.

And that's what I'm saying.

Sometimes this shit could be a bop, and I still

looking for fire raps, but in hindsight, oh, okay, all right,

those fire raps,

those bops

the bops, there's fire raps on views.

I'll have to go try again.

That's still the far and few for me.

It was all go just do me a favor.

I remember the Kiribati, which I loved, and then I went over a lot of slow RB shit, which I do not like.

Listen, I went and listened to Pimpa Butterfly again for y'all.

Go listen to views again.

I will.

All right.

Let me see what's on.

Oh, yeah, that bum ass intro.

Are you kidding me?

Hell no.

Why don't you go back on the views?

No, no, no, no.

Oh, no, that's not the intro.

Where is that views intro?

The one you didn't know.

That's what did you do?

You turned a six to a nine.

You ain't like that.

No, but the intro, too, this is when he was off schedule.

Is that family close?

Yes.

Are you nuts?

Dog,

no.

You gotta be tripping.

I thought Drake was suicidal on this run.

Says Joe Button.

Right.

Yes.

You know what I'm saying?

Says the fucking fuck up.

Says the fucking album cover.

He's sitting on top of the thing.

Reflecting at the fuse.

I'm sitting there.

Nigga, if you see somebody sitting up here, you should call the police.

What are you talking about?

If you're driving to the bridge and somebody's sitting there, you ain't gonna say, oh shit, money reflecting.

You call her Wallow.

You call it Wallow.

I don't want to get that shit fucking free.

Your dog.

And then the album starts like this.

Look, now for real.

You're a buck.

I wanted to call fucking ACS somebody.

Dyfus ACS.

All of my, let's just be friends.

Come on.

Stop it, yo.

You're a bug.

You can't sell me no.

None of this hard music.

I was worried about it.

Guess I should have tried to keep my family close.

And the album was called Views.

I definitely thought he was about to.

I was catching a view from sitting up there.

It's a CN Tower.

It's a beautiful view.

Why you left?

She had a body.

Why you left?

Yo, if she would have had that CN Tower, what's the tower?

CN.

The CN Tower.

Yeah, that.

I would have been seeing something different.

And I'd have been seeing more Canada, nigga.

She was calling me.

Sorry.

Mel, what dance she was doing when this was out?

Turn that up, nigga.

Watch your fucking mama controller, nigga.

I was bogling or something.

Oh, you wasn't.

Stop it, man.

My life just changed.

You sure know how to get shit soft.

Controller, nah.

Control it.

I still ain't hear that nigga rant, though.

I still ain't hearing Rant, but I already was crazy.

Fucking had a raw joke.

She sure know how to get shit missed.

That shit be like this.

That shit go like, who hit these two thousand dollars?

I'm ignoring this stuff.

You won't have my name.

Yo, just go home.

Pick these baddies up here to talk about.

Oh, God.

Fuck.

I told I was going.

You got to tell her, just go home.

It's good.

I'm going to go.

Just go home.

Close the door behind you.

Matter of fact, don't lock it.

I lock it.

I lock it.

My dog will lock it.

Hey, all right.

Ruffy, you got it.

Take Daisy with you, too, guys.

Flip-fly.

All right, speaking of running game,

Essence Fest.

Wow.

Wow.

Tossing the mark.

Essence Fest, as you know, is an annual event in our culture, in our community.

It's a dope event.

I love Essence Fest for what it means.

But this year was a little rough.

What happened?

Not much.

It was...

Sparsely attended.

I think when I looked in the stands, maybe 60% of the seats were empty.

Who were the headliners?

You had

Patty LaBelle was there, Jasmine Seller was there.

Lauren was the head headliner at the end.

Stephanie Mills.

Stephanie Mills was there.

We're going to talk about her because she just wrote an open letter to Essence Fest about it.

And it was bad.

It was rough.

Gorilla was one of the main performers.

Yeah, Gorilla was there.

There were some great acts.

It wasn't a lack of acts, but it just wasn't there.

The vibe in New Orleans was dope as always because there's so many people descending down there, especially black women.

It's the whole weekend, right?

It's the whole weekend.

It's not like one day off.

No, it's the whole weekend.

You go go down there.

There's events, there's panels, there's concerts.

It's the whole thing.

And Essence Fest is fire.

I love Essence Fest.

It's just this year, it just wasn't well attended and it wasn't well managed.

You know, the headline went out, and I got to correct the Lauren Hill slander because people, you know, the headlines kept saying Lauren Hill's show doesn't end to three in the morning.

Lauren Hill

was playing of 300 people.

It was true.

But it wasn't her fault.

That's why the headline was tricky.

It talked about how late she performed, but she didn't arrive late.

Lauren was on time.

Everything was running 40.

The event ran late.

When it was time to start, Lauren was there.

When it was ready for,

Ron Isley was up like three hours past his bedtime.

He didn't hit the stage till like 11 o'clock p.m.

Everything was 40.

When Ron Isley hit the stage,

the act before him was running 45 minutes past the time Ron Isley was supposed to have ended.

Like, that's how late it was.

Why did it start so late?

Just that I can't say, but from what?

Yeah, I guess I can say.

Turns out I can't.

There's been a lot of changes to

like the.

Sorry.

Sorry, old habits.

There's been a lot of changes to the infrastructure of people who were responsible for running the fest.

And it's just,

unfortunately, they ran into a lot of inefficiency.

Yeah, a lot.

Like Maxwell, for example, who also was another one of the big acts, he was supposed to start his performance at 11.15.

He took the stage at basically 1 a.m., 12.55 a.m.

That's crazy.

Two hours behind schedule.

Exactly.

So Lauren didn't hit the stage.

Lauren's set was supposed to start at like 2.01.

I mean,

Maxwell, Lauren arrived on stage at 2.31.

Like, they took about 20 minutes to get her band together to do the setup.

She didn't hit the stage till 2.31.

Nobody was there.

Her thing ended at 3.37 a.m.

That's horrible for a concert or a festival that's primarily aimed at an older generation.

You know what I mean?

It's an uncle and auntie joint.

It's not even a BET Award weekend, which is for like the generation.

And it's the event that the uncles and aunties feel like they can get cute for.

I be here all night in the shoes that hurt my feet.

Yeah.

It's also the jewel in the crown.

It's the one that it's the thing that funds the magazine.

Yes.

Stephanie Mills wrote, I'm not going to read the whole letter, but she wrote an open letter to the Essence organizers.

She's, you know, she's writing to share my feedback.

I remain grateful all the yada yada yadas.

But she said, the challenges I encountered were multifaceted and, in my view, indicative of broader organizational shortcomings.

The schedule and time management were severely lacking, creating a chaotic and stressful environment backstage.

The disorganization cascaded onto the stage, impacting the flow of the event and ultimately diminishing the quality of the performances.

And she said, basically, these are not isolated instances beyond the logistics, the technical difficulties, all of that.

She was just saying it's an overall issue.

I don't love that she did that.

You know Stephanie Mills?

Yeah, fair enough.

Yeah, you know, yeah.

I mean, I'm not surprised that she- Read very Stephanie Mills.

Yo, for sure.

Every paragraph said the same shit.

Yo, these niggas fucked up.

They fucked arts, below standard, get it right.

Right.

In a very professional way.

I just wonder what that letter would have meant behind, you know, backstage or behind the scenes or whatever.

Sometimes you got to do it publicly.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

I'm not sure if I love it.

You know what I mean?

Essence has a long history of doing it right.

So I feel like, although this year was terrible.

But she said it's been new people.

Yeah, no, and

the new regime is extremely new.

Like as late as last year, year before, it was run very efficiently.

So

you know our performances might have been lackluster

so we don't want to take the brunt for that we want to put it out there like yo i rushed through my set or i gave you a half ass set because we went on two hours late yeah i feel what i'm saying i feel that i don't want it to be a reflection on me it was them the thing is i will say most and i i saw pieces of because they didn't do the whole full stream like they used to which is another thing that i thought was interesting everything i saw looked good

Lauren's set,

which was the headline set, was a dope set as well.

She even took some requests from the crowd, which she could hear because only like 300 people there.

So, no, I'm not even being funny.

No, I heard it was dope, but they showed the seating and it was empty.

Niggas look somebody literally shouted out, yo, do

uh, uh, gotta find peace of mind, and she was like, All right, we didn't practice that, but I'll do it.

And she did it.

She did tell him, and she was at the end of the set, she was like, She was looking to one of the fans, like, I had to look at you for the lyrics because I couldn't remember them.

But she was trying to engage the audience at 3:30 a.m.

Very professional.

That's very dope.

That's what I'm saying.

That leaves the honesty, that makes it a more intimate show, Even if it's a big venue or something, those fans that was there, they remember that, then just the show was just ran through your normal.

It was like 3 o'clock in the morning for me.

I had basically a one-on-one with Laurie Hill.

Which is crazy.

The other thing that I want to add is it's not just essence.

I want to talk about the essence in a minute, but it's not just essence.

The jazz festival,

a couple of annual jazz festivals

have been down in attendance.

Like a lot of big black festivals are down now.

And what I'm wondering is maybe we should stop trying to have these things every year.

Maybe this needs to be be every two-year thing, every four-year thing.

Why?

Because everybody says the same thing.

I mean,

there's got to,

attendance being down is one thing, but we got to think about the reasons as to why.

Tell me about that.

Yeah, what do you think?

Niggas is fucked up.

Money is down for people, bro.

This is a everyday just jazz best.

That's another reason to do it every other year.

Dog, we talked about Summer Jam going from

MetLife to arena.

You know what I'm saying?

Everybody's down.

I see.

So then what's the end?

What do we do here?

I I don't feel like that's the

I feel like that's lazy.

I heard people.

I feel like that's lazy.

Some people said the Essence Festival was down

because they started to get advertising dollars from Target.

No.

See, that's what's incorrect.

So the CEO of

the Federation.

No, no, but if you got it, finish.

No, go ahead.

No, finish.

No, no, no, that's all right.

Go ahead, finish.

What are you saying?

I was just going to say, because there was a lot of criticism.

Finish.

I'm laughing at Flip.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Somebody, please.

Wait, come on.

Please.

Okay.

There was a lot of criticism in regards to Essence Magazine, their main sponsor being Target, because of the boycott that is still in effect.

But the issue with that is Carolyn Wanga is the CEO of Essence, and she used to be head of DEI at Target.

15 years.

Exactly.

And so when you have a contract with

an organization like Target, they have been a long-running sponsor.

This is pre-boycott.

This is pre-everything.

You can't just get out of that contract just because of, you know, political issues or whatever the case is.

You know what I'm saying?

And then she was also kind of responsible for bringing Target into black

communities and pairing,

I guess, getting more

what?

I'm not laughing at you.

Everything you're saying is 100%.

I was just thinking about all the black people I know.

who support concerts and don't give a damn who the sponsor is.

I'm thinking of all the uncles who go to the Newport Jazz Festival.

Right.

They've been killing us for like 30 years.

Taffy Smiley's evince sponsors by Wells Fargo.

I'm just thinking.

Selected out of the world.

I'm not sold.

That's how they get in when we boycott them.

But not just that.

When you have Tamika Mallory and you have other people come prior to the actual Essence Festival, start pointing out that we're not going this year because of these things.

That is influential.

They are influential people.

And it could potentially...

You might be right.

And it could potentially turn out to be a lot of people.

I'm just not sold that.

That's why black people didn't go to the bottom.

I'm saying maybe, maybe not.

I'm just giving you an example.

I just never met a person that said, I'm not going because Target's a sponsor.

I don't know if any black person ever goes to Target.

That's not the reason why.

That ain't the reason why.

That's just an additive.

Something that we noticed while we was mad.

I ain't met a black person that was really boycotting Target.

That's the other thing.

I ain't met a nigga yet.

No, I'm talking about that I've met.

I've agreed with that.

I've heard people say it.

There's a lot of people.

And I ran into them people in Target.

Man, what you doing here?

Just making sure y'all niggas ain't here.

That's your man.

I know.

You know about it.

You're freezing.

You're free.

We're on Target yesterday, baby.

But go ahead.

I know you.

Listen, I know you was.

I sure was.

The numbers say.

Bought it all.

Their numbers say something different.

Yeah, I don't doubt the numbers say that.

Their numbers are saying something drastically different.

But I'm just wondering if the people who would boycott Target, which is probably a more educated middle-class audience, which I guess is essence audience.

It's the essence best.

That's a fair point.

That makes sense.

College-educated, 40-something-year-olds going down.

I guess I just don't know.

You really want to talk about what the no, no,

I just don't know none of them.

Like,

you said that's my demo?

No.

Oh,

yeah, it's cool.

I'm missing it.

Nah, I'll tell you later.

Okay.

That's great for a part.

You don't.

So what's the reason, Joe?

Break it down for us.

I feel like you

have the answer.

I don't have the answer, but I feel like whatever answer I'm about to say, you familiar.

But this is good what you're doing.

You are a smooth nigga.

You're marketing some shit.

He is, but I'm trying, you know, me.

Because the conversation is about this Kenyan lady alienating black Americans.

Okay,

an Essence Festival being some black American shit since 92 or whenever the fuck it was.

Yes.

Who's a Kenyan?

Yeah.

But Carolyn Wayne is the CEO.

Oh, she also has Kenyan citizenship.

Okay.

Yes.

Yeah.

But I think that it's Mississippi.

So she got all of these fucking flags everywhere.

All these other things.

That's cool.

Look at Mark.

Look at Mark.

So she got all these flags everywhere.

You know, I'm bad at geography.

So I don't know.

But I know the flags want to see them.

So it's everything except for

just some black American shit.

They say the town, the feeling in the town is you've alienated the black businesses, local black businesses that have contributed to the curation of Essence Fest forever.

I know when I went in 03 and 04 and around that whole hood, a big part of that was.

the local businesses.

So now you done shut them out the game.

All right, cool.

Now you got this target shit going on while there's a boycott.

You are not organized.

Maybe you don't have your posts on things to really get people out of here.

I don't think it's

people don't have money.

I don't think it's nothing, but you are,

the soul is gone.

The soul is gone.

Sometimes it's okay to say when you see it, I know it's sensitive, but the soul is gone.

And I think that's the point.

For me, it's less about her heritage.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wasn't putting that on.

I know you're not.

I know you're not.

I wasn't doing that.

But it's, but that is what people are saying.

You know, all the, all the, there are like people online who are saying, you know, she's not of Negro lineage, slave lineage, and therefore it's, but it's not that.

I think that's beside the point.

I think it's what you're getting at, which is there's fewer black content creators involved, fewer black designers, fewer black artists, on the organizational side and the design side.

I don't know if that's the reason, but that's definitely true that there's less of that happening right now, and a lot of people are concerned about that.

Again, I don't know if that makes people not show out.

It could just be money.

Like y'all said, it could just be that people ain't got the money they used to.

That to me is always the...

the first answer on these kinds of things.

Yeah, but Essence Fest don't seem to have the money that they want to add.

But they keep talking about the people.

The black people or the people that potentially always go to Essence, they don't know who's pulling the puppet strings behind closed doors.

The CEO or whoever the fuck the CEO is, it's really not of their concern like that.

No, but I think for the artists.

I think they're saying that she's in that part of what made Essence successful was engaging the local business, getting people involved, which helped

generate publicity marketing and bringing people into the stands.

I just,

you know, when that stops happening, then you're going to feel that.

Maybe locally.

But most, a lot of the people people coming from Essence they coming from near and far you got people coming from California you got people my man and them used to go from Jersey 30 deep down here You know what I'm saying?

They don't necessarily know that the the CEO is not allocating the marketing dollars accordingly

Mary J.

Blodge is performing and this person's performing they may not they may not they may not know offhand or that may not be their focus

But they do know

like weeks before weeks before Essence Fest, no matter all of those people that hopped in trucks, hit the road, bought flights, the dope boys, that word

hit the hood.

It was the ton of

people.

There is zero Essence Fest talk.

And it trickles.

Honestly, Tossardo.

That's not just Essence Fest.

That's what I'm saying.

Parks can't.

I don't want to keep going back, but when Summer Jam happened, we sat there and was like, that shit was today?

I think that's festivals.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We can't do that.

We can't do that.

I'm listening.

Hot 97 is a private-owned radio station.

The conversation we are trying to have, right?

There's no lack of attendance at Carnival.

Like, I want to get back to black shit.

I don't want to take it to comparing it to the white shit.

I'm just saying the shit that we do.

There's no lack of attendance.

I think he's talking about the lack of promotion and the lack of talking about.

Niggas used to talk about going to

SSF.

Niggas was talking about going what i'm saying though is the it's a bad comp to use summer jam in them because we need to use black events okay because some black people know how word get around i got what you say myself black people

carnivore attendance might be low too we don't know

no i think you think it's not carnival attendance and not it's not no i don't know i don't know because they might used to get 200,000.

Maybe they only get 100,000 now.

So you can't really gauge it unless you're an active participant there.

See, I don't know enough.

Like, I don't know enough either.

I feel confident in saying that.

It's not.

Maybe, maybe not.

I don't know.

And it's not to the point where it makes it back to your block.

But to Frieza's point, Joe, what do you think the issue would be if there is lack of promotion?

You didn't even see a streamer, dear.

Like, what are y'all talking about?

We're in 2025.

Got it.

So

they're not in touch with what's going on now.

They don't know what the fuck is going on because who is in charge?

Like I was saying.

We ain't up there.

But you know, some people,

they like to.

You laugh and make a face, but when they call and say what the budget is, it lets me know.

But you know what, Joe?

Even your streamer point, that ain't for that crowd.

Not their demo.

The streamers ain't for that.

But you can make it for that crowd.

You can cancel it.

Anybody that's trying to promo an event should say streamer in their meeting.

And in addition to that.

It don't matter who your crowd is.

You should be saying streamer in your meeting.

The NBA crowd ain't their crowd.

The NBA crowd.

No, no, no.

But you also need to be able to do that.

The NBA crowd is not their crowd.

Hey, the NBA crowd is old as, I mean, not crowd.

The owners are old ass people that in the meeting, somebody had to say streamers.

Why?

And they listen.

Because we're trying to attract all of y'all.

The demographic that typically goes to the all-star game might be in a 27, 28

demo.

What I'm telling y'all is, if you're trying to promote an event, you should say the word streamer.

I don't know what y'all are arguing.

I get that.

And we don't know that the word come up, but they say, what is streaming?

Nigga, there are Z-less streamers.

You don't have to have a Kaisanette.

There's other streamers.

The effort involved in this, they missed the boat all around the board.

Every missed the streaming boat.

I don't know about...

That's the point about the demographic.

They missed the attendance boat.

Fuck the streaming.

I'm with y'all.

That's not their thing.

But if you're missing the attendance boat,

then it's time to talk about other boats.

Well, then that change it.

Now you need

the acts that

not only that.

Wallow wasn't there.

Fuck the streamers.

Wallow was gone.

Richard wasn't there.

What are we talking about?

We black culture.

We know what the fuck black culture looks like for the last 10 years.

Stop.

Stop.

Because we on the pod.

You can say it.

We can say it.

People are missing the boat on black culture.

Why is that difficult to say as black people?

You've been on that lately.

For the past couple months.

I'm on that.

I'm turning into my dad, nigga, before your very eyes.

But was there a conversation that you had?

I'm on that.

I don't need nobody else to be on it with me.

No, I'm just saying, but for the past couple of months, you've been on that.

Since the conversation a couple of pods ago, like while I've been on it before that.

Listen, but I'm just talking about when I heard it.

Because when I first got here, you wasn't really speaking like that.

So did something happen?

Did you go to North South Carolina?

It's just getting more blatant.

Got it.

It's just getting more overt.

It's just in your face more.

The older you get, and the more you gain understanding about how America works and functions, you'll see it more than you would like to see it.

And I'm not just talking about from white people when I say that.

Well, the problem with the black culture part is we don't, I mean, as soon as we get up, we sell out.

We're the consumers.

Yeah, we sell out.

We're the consumers.

We're the black.

And when you start talking about Wildo not being there or EYL or somebody not being there, and them my niggas, so no disrespect to them.

Nowadays, when niggas get to a certain place, you got to pay me to be there.

It ain't about culture no more because if it was about culture, I would do it for free.

I said, we sell it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Let me talk, Joe.

Let me talk.

So again, if you want these people to necessarily be there that are influential people that will bring in our demographic, you got to pay me to be there.

I just said that 20 minutes ago.

So, it's not about culture, it's about money.

Well,

intentionally.

Well, here's one thing to add to this.

Essence does pay people to be there.

They just didn't pay those people.

Or may not have met their number.

Now, that's possible.

I don't know.

Because some of the people that are typically at Essence, they were there.

But to Joe's point, they didn't even, well, I don't know if I can't say what they tried, but they could have gotten the great value version of Wallow.

They could have gotten it.

Y'all doing a whole lot of capping.

You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying?

And there are other wallows that they could have gotten for a different number like stop with this bullshit i think that there's a i think that there's a couple of issues here one essence has relied on the fact of of its you know of its popularity for many many years you know and so they assume that the same people are going to come and it's going to be well attended etc etc but Their demographic, the people that usually come to Essence, they're aging.

And so you have to find a way to appeal to the younger people who might not know anything about Essence Fest.

And you got you know make it intriguing for them to want to come and you know so Low Rill is a is a is a great start but there's got to be there's got to be ancillary acts there like someone should have reached out to Melissa Ford or Ish or Ice or myself or Flip and said hey we'll get you a hotel and tickets and X amount of dollars to come down here.

Anybody that could spread the good word of Essence Fest.

And that is a meeting for their brain trust to have.

Yeah.

But if you skipped local

or

if you skipped the local businesses, then you skipped this talk.

That's the point.

They were trying to keep trying to spend as low as possible.

You missed a lot of

that's what I think.

I try to spend, I want, I want my overhead to be as low as possible.

That means that you tried to make as much as possible.

So you missed it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not cutting corners.

Hold on.

There is a lot of major black festivals like the American Black Film Festival.

A lot of their advertisers, when they're black owned, a lot of their advertisers have fucking bailed.

When, yeah, when BET, like

BET has low viewership, but yet they still get money because it's a white-owned company.

When Essence was bought by Time magazine, they had an influx of advertising dollars.

Now that it's back to being black-owned.

I don't know that BET gets low viewership.

I think that BET Plus numbers are up.

I think BET's numbers are up.

I don't know about BET.

Not in comparison to what it was, you know, like once upon a time, in comparison to then and the money that they still get for advertising dollars because it is because it's a company that's white-owned.

I'm just making the distinction between white-owned and black-owned and

how much less advertising dollars these companies get.

It's just a fact.

I'm in agreement with you.

Yeah.

I think it's a

complicated problem.

I don't think it's just one thing.

I don't know necessarily know how much advertise for them to have to take

Target's money or a lot of a lot of bigger entities pulled out of

DEI initiatives, period.

You get what I'm saying?

So Essence Festival is something that's geared toward us.

They might not be supporting that shit no more.

I don't know.

Even the Target money, I'm hearing, was a buck 50, a buck 50 to 300.

So what the fuck could you do when you got Maxwell, Lauren Hill, this person, that person, all of these artists?

Because the artists typically are the draw.

When my friends used to go down there, they used to be like, yo, we going to the Angie Stone joint.

We going to this.

We going to that.

We got to pay these artists.

So we don't necessarily.

So the sales department is fired.

Like, what do y'all?

I'm firing my sales department.

People are getting fired and I'm bringing in competent people to help in all these areas that y'all are saying.

The sales department has to go.

If I can't get this ad, then where are the ads that I can get?

If you only got a buck 50 and 300 from Target, see, and that's why I'm saying, but check this pod from four or five years ago to hear how I was talking then.

Because that's been the point.

You niggas opposed a McDonald's ad for $1,000.

It's McDonald's.

Like, you telling me about a buck fifty you got from Target, I could point you to drug dealers that'll give you a buck fifty.

Stop, please.

I don't know.

I don't know what the number was, but what I do know, and what I've heard from a lot of black media,

you know, professionals is that they, because of something like this, they want

economic inclusion to be considered like a civil right because it's just so jarringly, you you know, racist.

You know, so I don't know.

I can't speak to how much Target gave, but what I can speak to is after talking to people, the contract with

Target was something that they just, it was a long-running contract and you just can't break it.

That's cool, but where's the rest of the contracts?

Right.

That's cool.

And you couldn't do nothing with the contract, with the Target contract.

We got that.

Black people look over there and give the side out like they did.

Yeah.

Where are the other contracts?

But have we not heard about a lot of companies that like once DEI was done done away with,

they just literally

picked a side, which also means there are companies that pick the other side, which may not have a bigger bag to throw you for.

Okay, so we'll get a couple of them.

Oh, yeah, I'm done with this.

Well, I'm done with this.

We'll see what happens next year.

Black people know what boots on the ground mean.

I think when people realize what's at stake,

I think that that's what I see what you're saying.

Black people know that.

I don't think people like to restart.

I think they try to maintain some sort of

level that they were once at.

Dandy wasn't there.

Sometimes it's okay to restart.

Sometimes it's okay to say, yo, we fucked up or this is fucked up or whatever's going on.

Let's go for a smaller company or let's go for a smaller business to

scale it down.

Let's scale it down.

Let's include shit.

We don't have to do this extravagant thing because now look where we at now.

The only thing I would add to this as we move on is just

as a community, we got to know what's at stake here.

Essence Essence is a staple,

and this festival is the thing that keeps Essence going.

Black magazines, black media in general is dying, and print media in general is dying.

I mean, that's why there's no Jet magazine, that's why you know, Black Enterprise has struggled, that's why, you know, all of them, Jet, I mean, all of them, Essence is one of the ones that has thrived, but it's because of this festival.

So, when we choose not to support or not to go, we're not just not supporting the festival, we're actually taking a real big strike against like one of the one of one of the real monuments in our culture.

So couldn't we say more?

Couldn't say more.

We're going to all think about that.

Yeah, I know good people over there.

I don't know if they're still there.

Well, I used to know good people over there.

So I don't want to come off like that.

So what do you do when,

again, for the people that is with the, I'm boycotting Target, anything Target?

I mean, it's the right question.

What do you do?

Again, I'm not convinced that that's why people aren't going, but if that is the case,

I don't know.

I mean, I think Target has, I think Essence has to make some decisions

about their relationship to Target.

Okay.

I I think I wouldn't put that on the boycotter.

I'd put that on Essence.

Got it.

Yeah, that's what I would do.

Yo, when you got a relationship with somebody or a corporation or an influencer or some shit, and it get hot, you go to them, you say, it's hot.

Go lay low for a second.

Maybe this year we don't put the big Target shit.

And they tried to mat it, which looked disgusting.

Like, it wasn't even the Target logo.

So now it seems like you're trying to be tricky with this matte pink and Target.

You know what the fuck?

Stop playing with black people.

Stop playing in people's face.

Now you probably, okay.

Hey, just lay low this year.

We're not telling you to go and admonish the whole shit, but just be cool this year.

You're not rubbing black people the right way.

And at some point, that conversation has to be had in C-suites if you care about the interests of black people.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

I'm done with this.

Yeah.

No, no.

Because I'm not going.

So, I mean, I'm just running my mouth.

On a different note.

That's not true.

I'll go if they get it right.

If they get it right, I'll be there.

I'm surprised they didn't invite us.

Because they've invited me me and us for several years, and I turn it down because the coin is not what it's supposed to be, and the experience is not what it used to be, so we don't do it.

But that's the audience that I want us to perform in front of.

Right.

Well, the audience that I know to be there.

That's who I want to be in front of.

But we got to meet in the middle.

And if we're not meeting in the middle, that tells me that you didn't do your job somewhere because you knew I was going to cost a coin before you came to me.

Right.

You got to go get it.

Unless they thought you were going to do it just on the nigga Mouse Jones wasn't there.

Nobody was there.

Is what I'm saying.

So fuck me.

Anyway.

Got you.

Oh, good.

I got some good news for y'all.

Hey.

Now I know y'all are big travelers.

When you travel through the airport now, you ain't got to take your shoes off anymore.

Hallelujah.

After 20 years.

You got to say pre-check.

I didn't have to do that.

Yeah, I just got my pre-check.

Well, you wasted your brain.

You wasted my plan.

No, because you ain't got to take your laptop out still.

Oh, okay.

So that makes it still worth it.

But after 20 years, TSA decided that you no longer have to take shoes off.

It's a very secret memo that kind of got out.

You know what I mean?

They didn't make a public announcement, but inside they decided that that was a thing.

And the truth is, you never, it was always

stupid.

It was always noise bullshit.

No, it wasn't.

No, it wasn't always bullshit.

Nigga, how to sneaker on it.

A few of them niggas snuck through with the sneaker joint.

Yeah,

so it wasn't always bullshit.

But as technology has advanced,

they have other ways to determine if you have the bomb.

Yeah.

We don't have to take off my, like, come on.

Walk all over that dirty ass floor.

Yeah.

No sock.

Because the no-sock trend happened a few years ago,

pre-pandemic or around there.

And we just barefoot in there now on a dirty ass floor when you got to take a shoot off.

Oh, I hate it.

Ain't everybody's mad slow.

Take their shit off and putting it back on.

And I got holes in my socks.

The airport, when you pass TSA, is what let me know that many Americans are slow.

The shit where the tray...

The conveyor belt belts like the tray.

Yeah, or they don't put them back No, they don't know what's happening even with the person standing there telling them exactly what to do Hey, yo, when this gets empty, come up put your shit up put your tray back now the line is mad long because you niggas is slow and stupid these days are open Yeah, they mad open and that guy's art

the line same script.

That's when I jump while you're in the line Before you get to the bays, when you turn the corner The niggas done said the same shit 17 times and you get up there and be like don't say nothing Becky and them be standing right there.

I jump all the way from Starbucks

to empty bucket slot hole

Fuck with Becky talking about nigga anyway, so they don't put you through the VIP line in the airport.

No, I don't do that.

I'm a man of the people mark.

You should be

with the people.

He said he rides spirit.

Nah, I'm not with those people.

I do spirit, frontier, whatever.

No, no, I'm not with those people.

No, Jay, no, man.

Nope.

Nope, nope.

You win.

You win the people battle.

The people are fucking.

Hey, again, our topic on the board.

It's different books.

When is it okay to judge a book by its cover?

I knew that that new Kenyan lady was going to ruin Essence Fest.

I think that on the train is a good time to judge people by their cover.

Great time.

MAGA HAP.

And what was me and Mark just talking about?

Because that's why I thought about it.

Oh, and on Spirit and Frontier.

As I'm walking to my fancy gate,

I'm judging all you niggas going to to Arkansas.

Yo, and I'm looking at the screen to see where you going to.

Oh, I do that.

I look at the gate.

I definitely.

Oh, look, look at the Arkansas niggas wilding.

You see a spirit gate?

Yes, really.

Yeah,

I don't see no spirit gate either.

Yeah, what terminal is that in that?

Where's that?

When you get your ticket, all of them chips.

In Newark?

No.

You don't do spirit either?

No, he's saying he don't even see it.

The Holy Spirit.

I don't see no.

I'm deadass.

You wear the spirit colors, nigga.

You spirit.

Yo, I don't see it on Spirit Gate at Newark Airport.

How often do you fly, though?

A lot?

Do you fly a lot?

I don't even feel like doing it.

Yes, I fly pretty, right?

That's it.

That's all I got, bro.

Maybe United just got their own shit down there.

You know, Newark is a hub for United.

I pretty much do United in Newark more just because that's all the flights are.

And you don't see a Spirit Gate?

There's a Spirit Gate somewhere though, but I usually take Spirit out of the Philly.

I think that's why.

I think it's B.

Oh, yeah, I know.

There you go.

In Newark, if you look to the left and you'd be like, oh, thank God my ticket's not over there.

It's normally spirit.

Yeah.

It ain't the Air Tram.

It's some cabs.

I'm on the railings.

This is a cab air tram.

I don't want a value jet.

You got me.

The ticket was $39.99.

You got me?

What's your favorite airport in America?

Ooh,

that I've been at.

LaGuardia.

LaGuardia is fire.

Not going to lie.

I stand corrected.

Me and you had a little LaGuardia LaGuardia beef.

LaGuardia changed.

That shit is fire.

I try to tell you.

That shit is fine.

LaGuardia ain't your old school.

That shit is all right.

And neither is Kennedy, but I ain't trying to make out.

New York Airport spent that taxpayer money.

And them shits is fire now.

They just Kennedy's bad.

JFK was up there for the issues when you lived in New York.

When I lived in New York, I hate getting to New York.

So it's far.

Yeah, it's far.

But once I got there, it's still one of the best airports.

Why you eat at the palm?

Yes.

Yo, LaGuardia.

They got your best steak and eggs in there.

LaGuardia all right.

It's all right.

I accept your apology.

No, that shit is is all right now.

That shit used to be LaGuardia.

It took him 90 years.

I hated that shit.

LaGuardia used to be trash.

I always loved LaGuardia because it's right by me.

And that North and that North Terminal A?

Terminal A is gorgeous.

Fire.

Yeah, that's my favorite.

Is that the one with the dino?

One of them, she's got a dino.

It's got everything.

They got aliens.

They got aliens.

I hate Atlanta.

What makes the airport good?

That's the question.

What makes it get Atlantians, though?

Canadian.

Dallas, Fort Worth is one of the fucking worst.

Atlanta.

No, no, Dallas, Fort Worth.

Too big.

Because

how it's constructed

if I have to take a train to get to my thing like Atlanta where you got you get through and you still got you you hold it to T Gates because you don't want to have to go all the way to F you got to ride a subway wait five minutes Atlanta Atlanta's terrible Detroit

even though I like Detroit but any of those that are that big yeah

what about Atlanta you got Valley Fort Worth is it's your fault because you're supposed to use the other one that the government owns the other one the one that the government owns that's over here it's a nice smooth smooth and tight i don't don't know which one that is in Dallas.

It's too LPS.

There's the Bush one in there.

No, you guys are thinking about Houston.

That's Houston.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, Dallas has had.

Dallas got too.

Dallas has two for sure.

I don't know.

I ain't been to Dallas.

Okay.

Also, I'll say O'Hare.

I can't stand up there.

Chicago, O'Hare.

That shit is big as fuck, too.

Fucking big.

What about all this?

You're missing your connection.

I don't go to that one often enough to have an opinion on it.

Let's go to Wall Street.

It's fine.

But again, you got to take, if I remember quickly, you had to take a train to get to the.

I don't want nothing where I got to ride a train to get to the next thing.

I actually find lax to be much more manageable i like landing in it like when it's manageable i like it i like landing in boston just because it's this big yes i like the small shoots

the small joints sumter south carolina when i fly over there i like that one it's another real small oh wyoming the vineyard martha's vineyard the wyoming airport oh my god it's fire yes martha's vineyard one is you get that little ass plane you gotta take to get from boston to the vineyard it's terrifying i hate that i don't go to summer loveville that's the one you're talking about the dallas

yes loveville yeah yeah How do you get there?

Privately owned.

That's different.

All the Hootany's over there.

That's the one.

You'd be at.

Fort Worth.

But I don't know.

I only been to Dallas a couple times.

Anyway.

What else?

What else we got?

He'll clean it up next time.

He'll clean up by Friday.

Y'all been watching.

I've been watching my girl, Angel Reese, and social media's been tagging all y'all.

I guess they're saying that y'all are Angel Reese haters.

Wow.

I'm not saying y'all are Angel Reese haters.

I'm just saying, but they've been tagging y'all because Adrian Reese has been lighting up the WNBA right now.

She has set a streak.

She's got another 15 rebound game.

I think it's five in a row, some shit.

Like, she's breaking all the records.

She's doing great.

She's doing great.

Let me let the audience know that facts don't change hate for me.

Like, if I'm hating, and I didn't agree to that, but if I am, the facts ain't gonna change it.

I'm just hating.

I might make me double down.

Yeah, I might stay strong.

I might stand stronger and she start doing good.

I have something else to hate about.

I've been Andrew Reese High from day one.

I'm saying, I love her.

I'm happy for for her.

She's cooking right now.

They lost on me.

I don't give a fuck with her.

But they played Minnesota on Sunday.

It was a great game.

And I went down to the end.

And Angel actually hit a big shot.

They still lost.

But

she's just on fire, man.

Also, Zion Williamson.

What's going on with Zion Williamson?

Zion Williamson appears to be in a gang now.

Pictures have been circulating online of him wearing purple bandanas and throwing up signs that I don't know.

But I did applaud because he did need some protection from that Mariah Mills lady

Like she was just having her way.

So let me go get what fucking

gang over here.

I'm calling big you or somebody somebody

purple.

What is it?

Oh, y'all want us to get indicted?

I don't know

Okay, all right Why would you need to know that?

Well it's different

He's a nigga with a dick

Okay, well, what the fuck does that have to do with the price of race in fucking China?

He could join that gang

She could too?

I think I could too Pop melon

tied her fucking head.

She come over here and talk about some grape streets, some shit.

I like wine.

Yeah, she'd be over there gone.

She'd be in the gang.

Actually, she'd be the

whole gang lit, lit up.

Like, she'd be why they become vulnerable.

Anyway, it's crazy.

Anyway, moving right along.

What else?

What else?

What else?

What y'all think?

They came out and said that they closed the Epstein investigation.

Yeah, because there's no list.

That was open before?

there was a load off there was no list

and they put the video out saying that no one entered he did commit suicide

so we'll fold that up right now right exactly

yeah so uh

the questions that are now coming up is like so why is ghillain maxwell in jail for 20 years for sex trafficking if there was nobody to sex traffick and uh he killed himself because why he just was having a bad day

so So Ghelane's zillion-dollar lawyer is saying,

let me up out of here, R.K.

Oh, yeah, they got to be.

I would be.

She's probably home.

This is talking about.

There are certain conspiracies that we all debate and argue.

This feels like the least debatable conspiracy in the history of conspiracies.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, I don't know anybody that doesn't believe that this Epstein thing was a hit job.

I don't know anybody that doesn't believe that the government conspired on this.

I mean, I don't know anybody.

I mean, it's just, it's so obvious to me.

Chapsteen, I still think they killed Sandra Bland, nigga.

You talking about Epstein?

It don't take much to get me on.

Yo, you ever been to Taint that island?

No.

Go ahead over there.

Today.

No.

When you go.

You're talking hard packs.

No, I'm saying when you get close to the island,

them niggas come outside.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Fuck y'all doing?

Pardon me, Playboy, you got it.

Did you have to show ID to get in?

I've never been.

asshole

you talking like you was there no you don't date

I feel like what he's saying is just island rules no it's not

somebody on an island I want niggas with rifles outside in case people approach when you go to any other island when you got met with rifles does one person own the island it's niggas when I was in whatever town that was and the driver said that's Prince Island right there I think I seen a nigga with guns there outside like you can't just walk up on somebody island they own it I keep

You got it.

Listen, to your point, if strange things with women were happening over there, I'd want security there, too.

Still to this day.

This was just confirmation to me that Trump name was on the list.

Oh, yeah.

I like how they tried to pass it off.

Like, he didn't have a list.

Like, yeah, he probably didn't just have like a piece of paper with all of his clients' names written on.

There's in his phone.

But the government has a list for sure.

Yeah.

And he had a list.

They got the manifest from the flights that was taken there.

Right.

All that shit.

Like, what are we talking about?

Yeah.

Money talks, Aki.

Bullshit on the street.

They ran up in that little 97th Street,

that big-ass little museum-looking crib on 97th Street.

They got all the goods right out of the safe.

I seen this dock.

They got it.

It was in there.

They went in there a couple times.

That's when they locked everybody up.

Hey, when they did that sweep, they found something, y'all.

The fuck is going on now?

Guess where where the sweep went back

right back in the cracks.

Get that right back over there.

Sweep that shit right back.

Too much money.

So when America ain't ever going to be able to fuck about girls,

facts.

They ain't never going to care in America about girls.

No matter how old, no matter what age, no matter what.

They're going to care less about the morality of billionaires.

Yeah.

There you go.

They knowing good and goddamn well they killed Jeffrey Epstein.

Yeah.

Duh.

But why they think we so dumb?

Well, because niggas is dumb.

This one don't even feel like they think we dumb.

This is almost just feeling like they're saying fucking.

So they don't.

But they are saying so.

I don't care what you know.

Sometimes it's not you dumb.

Sometimes it's nothing you can do.

You can't do that.

This is just

a bug here.

This is what we talked about.

The cameras went down, and now they're releasing the camera footage.

Right.

You lying.

Yeah.

They released the time was the cameras went down, so we can't tell what happened.

Yeah, I remember.

And now they put out the goofy.

Yeah, in this day and age of AI, nope.

Yeah.

Come on, nope.

And also, it's a jail, so it would be the same shit all day, every day.

You could just pick a different day and change the date.

Like,

yeah.

It's not like, oh, that Tuesday, I was definitely wearing my cop uniform and sitting at the desk outside of the jail cell.

Like, look at 12.09.

Right.

It was 12.09 yesterday, too.

Right.

They didn't paint the walls or nothing.

Well, fold that up right now.

Don't look away now.

Pussy.

Don't look away.

Don't look away now.

Pussy.

Just can't take that seriously.

Sorry, bro.

We'll fold that up.

Do we

want to talk about this Meg the Stallion?

Meg the Stallion in Rock Nation, dragged back into court after a federal judge refused to toss out the lawsuit from her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia,

who says while on a European tour, she forced him to watch her have sex with another woman inside of a moving SUV, fat shamed him, cut his hours and pay, and eventually fired him.

He also claims he was blackballed from working anywhere else in the industry.

Y'all niggas gotta stop that black bull shit.

Nigga, nobody knew you.

Niggas wasn't just blowing your phone up after this.

Sorry.

Claims he was blackballed from the industry.

Emilio says Megan only felt comfortable doing, which I'm not, I'm not doing this with the men at all.

I know we're in this era where you're just supposed to side with the victim.

I'm not fucking with him.

Sorry.

Yeah.

He's also saying that because he's gay, if I understand understand it correctly, that he was being targeted for his sexual identity, that she wouldn't have had this alleged sex with another woman in front of a heterosexual male.

Wait, he needs to stop.

I'm like, have you ever met a heterosexual male?

That is a reverse Uno card.

So wait,

she had sex with another woman in front of him because he was gay?

Judge Woods alleges that Garcia, who is gay, plausibly pleads that the alleged sexual encounter in the SUV in Abiza created a hostile work environment based on plaintiff's sexual

orientation.

I gotta watch this.

Plaintiff asks the court to draw the inference that Pete would not have engaged in group sex with other women in front of a heterosexual male, that Pete felt comfortable engaging in group sex with other women in front of plaintiffs because of plaintiff's sexuality and gender.

I agree with him.

Stop it.

Here you go with some bullshit.

Go ahead.

Get your shit off.

Let me think about that.

I agree with him.

Y'all are wrong, man.

If you agree with him, you're wrong.

the heterosexual nigga might have been a participant and that's why she felt comfortable having sex with the girl without because he's not trying to because he don't give a fuck well that means that it starts before that night in question i i as in i'm her i have gay people around me okay i hang out with gay people I'm friends with more gay people than I am heterosexual people because I feel more comfortable around gay people.

That's not just for her.

That's for many women today.

It still don't negate what he's saying.

He's saying if it would have been a dude he's saying you wouldn't have y'all it wouldn't have been a dude let me let me let me finish but i but my comprehension is great so i know what you saying she said

i'm my response to that is

if i'm her it wouldn't have ever been a straight dude if you you i'm not in front of you because you're gay i'm hanging around you during i'm i'm comfortable with having you around for everything right because you're gay it's not i'm doing the fucking because you're gay cool so hey

can be true

well if one is true then then the other can't be true to me to me i get what you're saying to me what joe's saying is

speaking if he was speaking for megan meg megan would be saying i'm not this has nothing to do with your sexuality it's just that you're my friend it just so happens that all my you get what he just said that is what i just said that's just heard him say he said yo i'm hanging around you because you're gay right yes that's the same shit different right all my friends are gay the sex that i'm having is not because i i see you're gay it's because you're my friend and i trust you it would be like all my friends are black right if i was to do something in in here right now in front of you, it's not because you're black, it's because you're my friend.

You get what I'm saying?

I told you something, I told you a secret this morning, hypothetically, right?

I didn't tell you because you're black.

I told you because you're my friend.

It just so happens all my friends are black and I made you my friend because you're black.

That's what she's saying.

And that's totally different from this scamming ass nigga.

Or why can't it just be, yo, I'm a wild girl.

I'm having fun.

If it was a nigga here, I'd have popped off.

The reason why I'm just having sex with this girl is because you ain't into this.

And that's what the plaintiff said.

I'm not saying who's right.

I'm just saying those are two different.

A good nigga.

A straight nigga could have joined us but she'd have been with it but the person that says that

i'm saying would be wrong for saying that because you are assuming that she would have fucked you if you were straight and that's not true so let's stop with the podcast shenanigans that's not what i'm saying if we are in where they was at a visa

huh aviza yes but

like a biza that's what people call it it's ibiza but yes i'm

geographically challenged so please tell me what it is a visa it's in spain okay i don't care

island.

That's another part of the world.

You in a biza

on the highway with a girl in the car that you wouldn't mind fucking.

Maybe you fucked before, or maybe in this moment, you finding out that you could fuck.

Your cameraman is there because we in a biza and every artist has the cameraman there.

And when we start doing some shitting here, I am going to tap the person hired to record me and say record.

Now,

that's weird.

That part I didn't get.

That's the part I can't rock with.

Oh, but wait, hold on.

Then you wouldn't be around.

You're fired.

See, and that's why I understand how fire it is.

If I asked you to record some shit, I didn't ask you to take part in.

This ain't the puff shit.

I didn't ask you to participate.

I asked you to hit record because some shit is happening in the car.

Yo, maybe I'm talking to the people.

I'm not saying it's not a drink.

Maybe I'm talking to the people that have been driving to South Jersey before, and the girl just starts sucking your dick, unexpected head.

You would like the person in the back seat to get a pick i'm just saying this is illegal of you it didn't work for you wait hold on a second i want to see how you feel about what homeboy po is like wait a minute note this self don't go to spain with

see no but that's that's what happens too much up here stop for a minute yes what i'm saying sounds foreign and stupid to people that are just unfamiliar with randomly getting sex in a car with people.

But if you've had sex in a car with not just the person that you're having sex with, then yes, jokes are flying.

Phones are out.

I sound like I'm saying something foreign, but I ain't.

It's different, though.

You're right.

Now, there may be laws against it.

But look, there may be a law against it.

You're right.

Jokes will be flying.

Phones will be out.

Nigga,

hold on.

Telling him to do that as her employee is where it's a problem.

I want to see

the employee part.

I really want to hear male stance.

In the eyes of the law.

Well, after I finish arguing with them.

In the eyes of the law, I'm not arguing with y'all.

I'm arguing culture rules versus the law, like I usually do in some of these instances.

Okay.

In the eyes of the law, she's wrong.

If you go for the culture rules,

you got to throw the dice at your employee.

I tell you.

I'm going to get it.

It's going to sue you.

Yo, how many, let me ask you something.

How many in-depth contracts do you think exist between

the little camera guy that follows behind these artists almost zero and the artist almost zero almost zero wouldn't you assume that there's a lot of gray area

the artist is how it sounds great to me though no it's great because the artist is saying tape everything

all the artists is saying is tape it all that's it

no matter what if a fight break out tape it tape it if bitches start kissing over the air tape it anything that happens you gotta tape it and that's our confidential relationship it's almost like the relationship between an artist and a personal personal assistant you are going to be privy to some things in your job that are not conventional.

That's what I'm saying.

So what it sounds like,

and I wasn't here, I don't know.

I'm just freestyling.

What it sounds like is we out of town.

It's hot and heavy.

We start fucking somebody that was there that was supposed to tape the whole night anyway.

Don't not tape now.

I've asked Erickson if he was down and taped some shit before.

Like, it's a conversation that you have is all I'm saying.

Right, but like you said, a conversation.

That sounds different than I know that.

Your lawyer's right.

You need to do that.

By the law, you're right.

Take that off the table.

Take them off the table.

I'm talking about informal rules.

It's certain shit, just like if I was your cameraman

and you started doing a line of Coke or you started doing heroin,

our implicit rule might be, Mark, don't tape that shit.

That's off.

I don't want that taped.

I would assume that would be the same thing for me having sex with somebody, particularly girl and girl action in the car.

Unless you tell me that.

Unless I ask you to, which we're learning that people are into some other things sexually.

This is where I disagree with your point that you just said.

In this talk that we having, yes, you would always have that conversation.

In real life, no, you wouldn't.

In real life, there's a thing where this is in the moment, instantaneous, spontaneous.

It's almost like you doing a song in the studio and I'm an artist and I came to your studio and now we jamming on the track.

Yeah, we should have a talk right now about splits and percentages.

We're not going to do that.

We're not going to do that.

There is no chance that that will happen right here unless something else goes down.

I'm with you.

It's the same exact thing with the camera guy that you hired to tape everything.

You don't know what he's allergic to.

You don't know what is going to make him call the police.

You don't know.

And you maybe not even won't even know all the laws.

You might not know that you can't get the fucking in front of this person.

That's some terrible.

Yeah, I feel you.

I disagree, but I hear what you're saying.

But it you were about to ask Mel a question No, I just wanted to see what her stance

No, I need that right now.

No,

I just don't see how I just don't see how we say discernment should be paramount on the artist and the business owner and all of those things when it comes to certain stuff then that same level of discernment that same level is a power dynamic here And you know what we talk about often when it comes to certain demos is a power dynamic.

That's why he's right.

That's why the guy is right.

I'm on the pod arguing the other side, but ultimately the guy is right.

Legally, yeah, yeah, yeah, legally, he's right.

Assuming this even happened, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But if this happened, you can't do that in front of me.

I'm uncomfortable at work.

I don't want to do this.

I don't have the opportunity to tell you that.

They're forcing me to take this.

Yeah.

You forced me to watch you take this.

Oh, God.

I gotta watch Meg fuck a girl.

That was literally.

That was so funny.

Oh, God.

Oh, the nerve.

Alert the authorities.

Damn.

Call the fire.

Call it fire.

Homeboy might not have looked at it like we would look at it well yeah he's gay wham i think or it's not because he's gay he just doesn't like taping people i think that he might have just got fired for something else and he's pulling this i think that's totally possible

i don't know if you're telling the truth here oh i can tell you parks is wrong i can tell you that's wrong why because if i asked you to hit record when i'm

and you didn't

you're getting fired you didn't capture those moments you are fired because of that yeah because of that right there i took you to a visa

wait and i took you to some Some niggas with money into that.

You are getting sued.

If I take one of y'all to a visa and I start fucking in front of y'all, hit the record without me having ass, bitch ass niggas.

How about that?

Then nobody gets sued.

I ain't have to say nothing.

You just knew what time it was.

Where's y'all from?

If I'm fucking in a visa,

the last thing I want one of y'all to do is pull out the camera.

Shit.

Am I fucking good?

Yo, my backstroke hitting me.

Yeah.

It's different.

And it's hypothetical.

Hypothetically, Hypothetically, if I'm single and we on the island, I'm fucking,

I don't want you to just hit the camera without conversation, bro.

Here y'all go with me.

I'm over there getting my own

hypotheticals ever happened.

One of y'all starts fucking your wife in front of me.

Hey, nigga, you crazy.

What the fuck are y'all talking about?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Here come the prudes.

Oh, if I'm single and you and you lay in the bag, we can't fucking power shit too far.

Right, right, right.

That's that.

All right,

keep it digging your pants.

What's that cut shit?

Whatever shit.

That's what you better do.

Don't fuck with the bedroom.

Like an adult.

And he'll be a little bit more than a bad.

Don't listen by the door neither.

Did Ice come with us to Costa Rica?

No.

I'm not trying to

record.

None of you niggas fucking.

Next trip.

Next trip for you.

Only Cam Court.

I'm not trying to either, but if we out and one of y'all begin

around

me, you recording.

I'm taping it for the archives.

Why?

Yo.

Because why would you say that?

Where you hear this nigga?

front of me?

That's your man.

That's your man.

You know what I mean?

He got footage of you that you don't know about.

Yeah.

No, he don't.

Yes, he do.

Yes, he does.

I ain't got no footage of him.

He ain't.

He don't fuck in front of niggas.

This dick ain't like that.

You don't want me.

His dick ain't like that.

Hey, hey, hey, Big Mark.

Yo.

Hey, Big Mark.

That nigga, hey, yo.

Hey, yo, on the jungle.

Hey, Bump Mark.

You want to jump off?

That nigga be in the corner.

Look, now you want to reverse my joke.

Look, now you want to reverse my joke.

You don't even want shit.

Hey, That ain't what I mean.

Look, yo, hey, that nigga walked off to the other room.

Me?

He hear me one night to my yo, you ain't got money for another room.

No.

Yo, this nigga.

No, I don't.

Look, we both.

Here come the lives.

He's a live.

This nigga walks.

That nigga be in a corner door.

Tongue kissing.

Well, one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what he do.

Shira, you talk to bitches next 20 20 years.

Shut up nigga.

So

you could fuck so you could talk.

I don't want to talk to them.

I'm not the fuck out of here.

I know.

Anyways, man, Meg, Meg,

I empathize with you.

I don't fuck with you at all, but I'm on your side in this.

I know how to be objective when it comes to people I don't fuck with.

Meg, this is bullshit, and Emilio could go.

You should have been fired that nigga.

See, that need to be a thing, too.

Even though they killed Rick Ross for his breakfast club interview where he was like, I'm not hiring no girls because I'm going to fuck y'all.

They killed him.

Like, oh my God, why are you,

why are you objectified?

Why you can't just hire?

That's honest.

Why?

Niggas kept it a buck.

Hey, nope.

See, I'm with having different rules to the workplace.

Not here, because don't try it.

But

I'm just saying.

If I was still in music, I ain't hiring no cameraman

that is allergic to

some spontaneous shit happening, is all I'm saying.

That's it.

But

peace to Meg, peace to Emilio, peace to whoever Meg was fucking in here.

Yeah, that gets a little fast.

Yeah, exactly.

That bitch.

And the beasy.

A beeza meant time.

That's no fucking easy.

Shit be in the air up there.

That'd be a little nice, man.

It's okay.

That girl right there, boy, that's my girl.

Anyways.

Not even.

A little hot self.

They got different hookah over there.

What else?

What else needs our attention?

Do we need to give therapy to Naomi Osaka?

What happened?

She did a press conference.

She lost that Wimbledon sooner than we're used to her losing.

Oh, okay.

And in that press conference, I'll find it.

She said,

no, I ain't gonna front.

When I'm breaking a story, I want you to sit with Erickson.

Like, I don't like it.

I don't let you be jumping on my shit.

And I'm not over that straw review.

I'm not over it.

I'm just trying to be honest.

Play it.

Go ahead.

Negative human being today.

I'm so sorry.

Like, I'm just going to be a negative human being today.

I'm so sorry.

Like, I have nothing positive to say about myself, which

is something I'm working on, I think.

Yeah.

I mean, it was my daughter's birthday, so I was happy about that this week, but other than that, it's just today I'm just constantly replaying the match now.

I'm just gonna be a negro button.

That is the clip.

Is she saying I have nothing positive to say like about my performance?

She said about herself

about herself and her existence.

That's what she means.

Not no, no, no.

Yeah,

so yeah,

she definitely said about herself.

And then the clip went around and then she went on

threads.

I was trying to find the threads.

She went on threads and basically a couple days later, like, bro, why is everybody like why they keep clipping this up whenever I have like a bad moment?

Why are are they trying to paint a narrative of me as like always being sad?

Well,

I mean, she a lot of people were very sympathetic about you know, after they watched this, and also because she stepped away from the game very publicly and stated the reason was her mental health was affected.

So, when you come back and this loss seems to be so dramatic that you say, I have nothing good to say about myself, not even just your performance, yourself.

That's alarming.

People, exactly, people were really alarmed.

But, was

wasn't it right after the match?

Yeah, but I mean like I'm taking that like she means performance.

That's what I mean.

Only because she said I keep replaying the

match in my head.

That's what I'm thinking about.

I think that if when you take both both things at the same time, when you think about the time that she stepped away from the game, speaking about her mental health, and these are the choice of words, people were very, very concerned about her.

That's just this is an alarming choice of words, whether she was talking about the match or not.

You don't hear people immediately after a a game say, I have nothing positive to say about myself as a whole, which is how this is interpreted.

Yeah, I didn't take it like I thought she was talking about the match.

And if you interview like a great competitor, let's say Kobe, and Kobe played like shit and he lost, I don't got nothing good to say.

I can hear Kobe saying, yo, it's no bright spots.

I don't have nothing positive to say.

Okay, well, that's a false parallel because they're bringing, where they're bringing this conversation to is young female athletes who start families or have children

in the prime in the height of their prime, in the prime of their career,

baby who weren't ready and were, and I can't speak for Corday, I would never use the front of the show.

But what the conversation is becoming is women being convinced to have these, these, start these families while their career is popping.

So I would say that is the difference between the Kobe shit.

It could be.

And I don't know.

I think this is too sensitive for me.

Yeah, I just want to add one other piece to her comment.

I'm going to read it exactly because she is sort of saying that she was only sad about the match.

Because what she said is, she said, bro, why is it every time I do a press conference after a loss, the ESPNs and blogs got to clip it up and put it up?

She said, WTF, why don't they clip my press conferences after I win?

Like, why pushing out of them always sad?

So she's trying to say, basically, she's the inner feelings.

I'm talking about a loss.

And again, some of the great competitors, they don't be wanting to talk.

Yeah, they make them talk.

They're not going to move.

They make them talk.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, I don't want to come up here and be keykeeing

or I don't want to talk to you, motherfuckers.

Period.

Period.

We just got swept.

Don't ask me how I feel.

But then she should learn how to talk in interviews post-lost.

And also.

Because you can't guilt people for caring about you.

But

people can.

And again, like, the context matters.

You leave because of mental health.

People are going to put you under a different microscope now.

Exactly.

And that's why I think, to your point, like, she should say, like, hey,

when I feel like this,

when I lose like this,

I don't have anything positive to say.

I don't have anything good to say after getting my ass kicked or whatever.

Then no one's, this isn't even a story.

But when you take out the competitive part of it, you just say, like, yo, I just feel so bad about my, because I agree with y'all.

I mean, lots of athletes, especially male athletes, feel exactly like this, but they haven't been, we haven't thought about them as suicidal.

Right.

You know what I mean?

Or we haven't thought about them as having mental health issues when she's already, like you said, led with that.

Oh, you haven't thought about it in pregnant.

Yeah.

Right.

So there's a lot of other factors here, but I'm just glad she's okay.

And I hope that this is just about the loss.

And I hope that.

As she said, yo, fam, I lost.

Yeah.

Why are y'all bringing this up?

Like, we hope she's not lying.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I'm hoping that this is the cover for how she.

Yeah.

I hope she's that really is just about the loss because I love a good competitor.

I love somebody who takes losses that's not.

I have a question for you guys about that.

I do see a lot of people criticize post-interviews and tell people that they should speak a certain way.

What was the football player that used to not want to speak?

Marshall.

Like, is that a thing that's in their contract?

Are you contractually obligated to speak?

Yes.

Okay.

I think that quote used to be yum, just here song, get fine.

Because of people.

So you get fired.

So you cannot sit sit there and not talk.

Yeah, and you can't not show up.

Like, literally, he went there and get fired to one of the press conferences, and that's all he said to every question.

More than one.

He used to say, yo, I'm just here, so I don't get fine.

And that's part of being a fairly.

Do you think that should still be in the contract?

Do you think that people should, if they take a loss, they shouldn't just go home and sit within themselves?

No,

I think they should.

Should you bring the world into your feelings?

Yo, you asking for somebody to...

control a lot of emotions in the moment because then you fuck around and say the wrong thing in that press conference they're gonna chew your ass up.

So, you ask him for right in the moment.

It ain't like this is tomorrow and I had some time to cool off.

I just lost by a bullshit called by a ref or some fuck shit happened.

They should have caught this.

We lost, we out the playoffs.

Now I gotta come and sit to y'all and ask me, hey, what would you have done different in

the third quarter?

Bro, get the fuck out of my face.

Same way we talk about all this.

Some of this shit comes with the gig up here in terms of people being on your ass on social media and so forth.

That shit comes out.

You're making 40, 30, $50 million a year.

Yeah, you're going to have to ask answers.

How do you feel about the loss?

Because

part of why you make the money is because of the TV deal.

And part of the TV deal is the imposter press conference.

Part of it is engaging the fans.

The fans want to know how you feel after the loss, not just after you win.

I get it.

I get that it sucks, but I feel like just right after.

That's all I'm saying.

Do a press conference tomorrow morning.

That's not.

You want it.

Who's watching the game tonight?

After the game, I want to know.

Monday morning, they know.

When you watch the NBA Finals or the Super Bowl, you don't want to hear what Monday morning.

Y'all, I promise y'all, we don't have to debate that.

We want to hear the speech

when we hear the speech.

We don't want to wait till the morning.

Sports content is as important as the sport itself, damn near.

Goddamn.

And we see that now based on the money that they're getting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In the morning, I want to hear what we think about what we're Stephen A.

Smith thinks.

No, what we fuck him.

We, us, nigga.

Fuck these other niggas.

I want to hear us.

I ain't big enough to wait on some anyway.

And not fuck Stephen A.

Smith.

But, you know what I'm saying?

And shout out to Max Kellerman.

Back for the boxing match.

Yeah.

Back for the boxing match.

Asking, where's Max?

They found him.

Go Max.

Yo, I love when he talks about boxing.

Nah, that's his thing.

I love Max.

That's his real bad.

I love him, period.

But yeah, boxing.

He knows.

I love watching.

It's like watching Joe Rogan do like UFC.

I love watching Max Kellerman do boxing.

Watching experts talk about expert shit.

It's just dope.

I agree.

Yeah.

I agree.

We've been talking about the weekend earlier and sort of what we did, but one of the things that stuck with me was the shooting in Philadelphia.

I don't know if y'all heard about it, but I'm so tired of it.

I heard about it.

Is that the one on the ring camera?

Yes.

Grays Ferry, mass shooting.

Three people ended up dead.

One of the people, and obviously, condolences to families of all the victims.

But I was really struck by this one story of Zeer Harris.

This is a young man who was a victim of gun violence before he was shot and became wheelchair-bound bowed at 17.

He bounced back,

you know, got his life, you know, seemed to have gotten his life together.

Became an advocate for gun violence.

Became an advocate, right?

You know, trying to fight gun violence, trying to, you know, bring community together.

And here he is, you know, he gets shot again and is killed.

His baby mom got shot, too.

Yeah.

I mean, this is.

That's awful.

I can't even imagine as his father.

His father's been talking in the media a little bit.

You know, I can't even imagine the pain he's going through or any, all of his family is going through.

But it's just one of those stories.

It's so absurd.

I mean, the idea that that could happen to somebody twice.

And, you know, the idea is if you don't do nothing, you ain't got nothing to worry about.

If you're not committing crimes, you got to nothing worries.

It's bullshit.

That's not true at all.

That's not how life works.

It's even worse today.

In our communities.

Listen, Mona was up here talking about how crime in Philly and the shootouts is like up.

Yeah.

Recently.

That has been a topic of conversation.

I'm not familiar enough to chime in on it, but they've been wilding out there.

It's getting bad.

It's one of the reasons I left.

I watched that video, bro.

I watched it.

Y'all never get sick of that.

Yeah.

And I want to hear from you.

I don't.

I don't really watch that show.

That shit is terrifying.

I can't.

Usually I don't even.

That shit just kept.

I kept seeing it.

So I just watched it.

But

I immediately regretted watching that shit.

Yeah, I saw it.

I didn't know what I was about to watch.

Like, I saw it.

The reckless nature in which they were shooting and the careless nature.

Like, yo, I don't care if I get...

They was just standing up.

It looked like you was watching some shit on john wick

the gun the switch

the gun was just going like this yo in the dude's hand like the shit was shooting so rapidly he couldn't even really control it then the people was just shooting over their head you know how in like cop movies they'll just shoot yeah and just shoot up in the air to get the people

bro they that's how they was just shooting you know what i'm saying so if you was down that end of the street

it was 50 50 or less than the probability that you could pile on top of each other to try to just get some type of cover yo it was bad bro It was real bad, man.

And then the person that was shooting back from the balcony that couldn't control the switch looked like he was about to shoot people that were

like one dude started shooting and his man jumped up to start shooting too.

He ain't even really lay down yet.

I was like, Yeah, no, that could have been really, really, really bad.

Shout out to the people that

survived that horrific incident.

And definitely shout out to the family, friends, and loved ones of the people that lost their life over this 4th of July weekend.

I know I saw another video where a young nigga in another town, I don't remember the town, just started shooting at police.

They ended him immediately.

I saw some other shit.

Oh, New Jersey, I had a little fight.

I think this is the first time in New York that they report

no shootings and no murders on the 4th of July.

And it's crazy that we got to brag about that.

Yeah, right?

That is, yeah.

Brag, no, but

make mention of and at least acknowledge.

Yes.

Yeah, that's important.

Listen, I hate to be that guy because fireworks are great.

Fourth of July, America's birthday, yada, yada, yada.

But

this entire strip, this year when the fireworks on the east side versus when the fireworks are on this side, it was a lot more peaceful over here.

Yes.

I hate to be that guy.

It was.

But without the traffic, without the tourists, without the...

You're about to be a Republican, yo.

I hate to be that guy but leave them

you're about to be him i'm not saying i i didn't i'm just saying traffic yo don't pay me to be that guy yeah it was quite it was peaceful it was

i like peace me too by the way i want to shout out a baltimore and chicago both have black mayors yes homicides down significantly

in both cities i think 33 chicago maybe even 50 in baltimore i don't remember the baltimore number but it's really high so we are seeing some things work whatever's working to get that peace you're talking about The Baltimore mayor, he implemented mad social programs for the kids.

Like he spent a shit ton of money to implement all these things to kind of keep them busy and to distract them to what positive things.

And it's paying off in the numbers.

That's what's frustrating to me.

We know what works.

Like, it ain't like we don't know.

What, man?

You don't do that.

You don't do this with it.

I'm sorry.

That was an ill-timed laugh.

I'm watching something on Max that's like American Psychos or American Crazy Niggers.

And in the most recent episode.

In the most recent episode,

in the 80s, Baltimore got a black sheriff.

And it was a big deal because shit was really corrupt at the time.

He might have been the first black sheriff in a long time.

Anyway, he got in there and got as crooked as come to.

Yo, when I tell you, this nigga was going crazy.

So he get in office.

and starts a private security firm.

Long story less long.

He starts a private security firm, which maybe you can do as the sheriff, but he was sending policemen to go do these private contracts and not paying them.

He was just sending policemen to go do their company time, nigga.

Go get that over.

Get that over time.

Hey, get that OT.

So he was getting all this money, and then he started abusing and sexually abusing the women that worked with him.

So then it got hot.

So then a young black cop ran against him.

Oh, he's trying to run for mayor or some shit.

So a young black cop, a deputy, ran against him, won.

He ran and no, he killed him

right after his party he threw for winning.

It's deep.

That's crazy.

I wrote an article.

You want to see?

I'm shopping at the bit to get away from you.

No, no, Melville.

Mel can't fuck with me.

You're my son.

Oh, man.

I'm going to send it to you.

I'll take a picture and send it to you in case I'm jacking the name up.

Okay, and right now I'm watching like unknown serial killers, so you probably haven't even started that talk, but I wanted to shout out the names of those mayors.

Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott, he invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m., planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes.

Crime is down 62%.

62% offering that.

Yeah, 62.

And

in Chicago, it's Governor Westmore.

Yeah, it's amazing.

I read it.

An article the other day that said prison populations are way down and will be down like half, more than like 60% in the next few years, which I thought was pretty interesting, especially with your stances on prison performance.

The peak of 2.5 million was about 10, 12 years ago now, maybe a little bit more.

And it's been going down.

That was the peak?

Yeah, 2.5 million was the peak, yeah.

It's cited here at 1.6, but yeah, now it's 1.2.

In the state?

No.

No, this was...

No, the national prison was the peak was 2.5.

I read the article Parks where it said 1.6, but

if it's down to 1.6 now or whatever, I mean, that's amazing.

I think it's at 1.2 now.

Yeah, it said 1.3.

That's amazing.

Yeah, so they said that based on all those old, what I took from it was the crack era.

And a lot of people were getting long-ass sentences in the crack era.

A lot of them are coming home.

And because we didn't have the crack era again,

that significant amount of crime didn't repeat itself necessarily.

Okay, so then what happens with the whole prison industrial complex?

What happens?

Are resting immigrants?

Yeah, I was going to say they're going to start locking up.

I mean, I thought they were deporting them.

They're going to start locking motherfuckers up again.

I know what they did.

Because they need them for the work.

They're coming for you.

Yeah.

Are you natural yet?

I'm working on it.

It's not yet, right?

I am working on it.

I just sent in all my papers.

You hear that?

Freeze up, ice, or whatever.

Freeze up and ice up.

What's it is?

Frieza bird.

Y'all hear that?

It ain't done yet.

You can get her.

She had the hookah spot.

I'm just working on it, okay?

You ain't studied yet?

No, I don't know how to do it.

No, I'm asking you because I remember when a couple of my people did it.

Yo, them tap.

We won't pass that test.

Well, guess what?

When I do the test, you guys can quiz me, okay?

Them niggas be like, I'm like flashcard like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who is the secretary of defense?

I might actually.

It'd be like that.

Like, that shit is hard.

I ain't gonna hold you.

Well, if you're an ice agent in Blue on the Hudson on a weekend, please.

Please, show birds.

You won't find me there.

If you're an ice agent right across from the chart house, you'll fly somebody.

Right next to Drift.

Hello?

That's bad?

Yeah, yes.

Hello.

Hey,

if you an ice agent, they got ballet over there, too.

If you ballet and just run in, you can spot her.

She's sitting outside being cute.

She never runs.

I won't.

Being fast.

I won't be at blue.

You got a new place.

Don't tell them what is.

Don't tell them what it is.

Big man.

Also, because this platform is so big.

Two nights, the night.

We will share.

Turn on the lights.

Come close to me.

Tell me right now.

You're all I need.

If you tell me Keith Washington is on what?

You know Keith Washington?

No, I don't know him.

That's like the place.

It's on what?

Huh?

What you was going to say?

It's on what?

On ice.

It's on the ice.

Two nice.

On the lips.

Actually, what, man?

Motherfucker.

Tell me.

What does it look like right now?

Keith Washington?

Yeah.

Look him up.

Oh, girl, if you're a fucking Albie Shore today, you'll fuck Keith Washington.

Who said she'll do that?

I said if.

I didn't say she would.

I said if, if, if, if.

I'm not putting that on.

If if was a fifth.

But I'm saying, if you think.

Because that was your bag, the Albie Shore, the Keith Washington, Christopher Williams.

Yeah,

that was Raheem from Juice.

That was a time.

Yeah, all of the same nigga.

That was a time.

Yeah, it was like 1415.

That was a time.

And then.

Look where your mind was at 1415.

We can't highlight it, but you were.

You were in the black guys at 1415?

Was what?

You were in the black guys.

Were you always in the black guys?

Yeah, changing?

Yes.

No, I don't know.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

I didn't know.

In Canada, I didn't know if it was white.

You know, if it changed.

No, we have a massive black population in Canada.

West Indian African.

Yes.

Too nice to know.

We'll fold that up right now.

There we go.

We'll fold that up right now.

It is out.

It's getting full up.

We'll see.

Anywho's.

The other mayor was in Birmingham.

Yeah, I think it was Chicago.

I thought it was.

Birmingham Mayor.

It was down too, really.

Yeah, I think it's 33%.

Because the one I heard was Alabama.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has led an aggressive, community-driven approach that's paid off.

The city's homicide rate has fallen by 52% compared to last year.

Definitely wanted to give them a shout-out.

That's amazing.

Double check there.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I thought Chicago was down too.

Maybe I'm wrong.

No, Chicago is a historic drop of violent crime, too, in the first half of 2025.

So there's another black mayor.

Dope.

Even though.

Brandon Johnson, Brandon Scott, and

Westmore.

Is that their governor?

That's in Massachusetts.

Westmore is the governor of Mass.

Maryland.

Yeah, Maryland.

Okay, gotcha.

Yeah, it's Brandon Scott and Brandon Johnson are the mayors of Mississippi.

All right, that's peace.

Anyway, all right, y'all.

Ciao to all the Brandons

out there.

B.

Diddy.

Baron Davis.

Everybody.

Everybody.

What else is in point?

It's a good pod.

It's a real good pod, y'all.

Oh, we do have to say rest in peace to Young Noble.

Young Noble.

Of the outlaws.

Big Jersey.

For sure.

Rest in peace.

Rest in peace.

For sure.

47 years young.

Big Jersey.

Shout out to the Outlaws.

I love y'all.

This Texas situation was also pretty crazy.

That was nice.

Yo, we was talking about the thing with the switches and the shooting.

I had to turn off the TV.

My girl showing me something yesterday, and it was a family.

It was a mother, the father, the the kids, and they were just standing in the flood, and the water was coming.

I had to cut it off

because it literally showed, you know, the whole thing.

I had to cut it off.

It was in the middle of just the water.

That shit was crazy.

Now, in the phone era, because you could be standing in safety filming somebody else going through some real crazy shit.

I was like, no, I can't.

So they said the water out there rose 26 feet, yo.

They got like four months worth of rain inside the water.

26 feet in 45 minutes, they said.

Like, what?

That's crazy.

You can't even really prepare for that.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, what do you do?

People's houses will just be a lot of people.

You could have had advance notice, like, you know, what would have happened if he hadn't got that federal agency.

So, and they would have gotten evacuation notices.

There still would have been loss of life, but there would have been more warning than they had.

That's real.

Possibly.

Okay, you go on, you boy.

Just look Canadian.

No,

no, no, no.

That's an indictment on the Trump administration.

That is where I'm directing that to.

Because they killed the famous shit.

Rest in peace to the people that lost their lives and to the people that are still looking for their love ones.

And fuck your friends.

Yeah, all that.

Nigga, I ain't over that Joe Oldstein shit.

Over the church?

Yeah.

Yeah, nobody in there.

That nigga locked the fucking mega church door.

Bitch, we'll kill you anyway.

What a little bit of outstanding after

all the sad shit that we just had to.

It was our church now.

Touch apologies.

Yeah, because they showed a clip of

a lady who was clearly sick in a hospital bed in

what I think was her home or a home with the water just coming up to the bed.

It was horrible.

It was horrible.

I'm like, how do the cameraman tape, nigga?

Put this shit down.

Help.

Yeah.

But yeah, rest in peace.

These stories.

Some of these stories that summer are horrible.

For y'all people that be rushing the summer to come, rushing the summer to come.

Summer is when the worst news hits.

Yeah.

You people don't be watching news.

I can tell you.

I don't.

I don't know how you do it.

I read the news.

Rest in peace to the people that we lost this weekend.

Shout out to anybody out there fighting a private battle.

We love y'all.

You are not forgotten.

Check up on your strong friend.

Your weak friends as well.

Just get to checking up on people.

Use the phone.

Not text.

not just text.

Dow, call,

put a voice to that friend.

Here, go.

Here you're looking, sweet dark guy.

Hey,

wish that I could love you back.

Talk to him.

I'm forgotten.

You

blow my mind.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm so sick.

What's up, that'll be.

Yes, sir.

Shout out to all the kids listening out there.

Shout out to my little brothers.

They ain't at college now.

Hey.

shut the shot.

Same school?

They want to go to the same school?

They at the same school.

Yeah, they got to go do their orientation or three-week, whatever the fuck.

They outdowns for a little while.

That's dope, Carl.

Shout out to them.

Shout out to them.

Hey, keep your head in the game.

It's a lot of games.

It's all different games.

God don't make mistakes.

I shouldn't have went to college.

As much as I hear Mark and be like, damn, college might have been cool.

Nah.

What do you think college would have been like for you?

You would would have liked it.

It would have changed you, too.

For the better.

Because when you was young, you was on some bullshit.

College is kind of fly, yo.

College was lit.

College is kind of fly, especially like if you live on campus or something, that shit is kind of fly.

Yeah, your interpretation of college is that it's the school system, and it's not.

It's different.

It's different.

It's a lot of social.

It's more social shit.

College is not a school system.

It is a school system, but it's not like the public school system that you went to.

It's nowhere near like.

Like, you can study what you want to study from people that you want to study.

Yo, you don't come to class, so?

I want to have this talk without

my college system beliefs.

Yeah,

it's expensive a lot of times.

No, but I'm just saying like socially is where the, in my opinion,

most of the growth happens.

We had this talk before, I think, at Barks House, but they're saying that the colleges are doing a lot of incentivizing to keep people coming to the college because they're projecting that by the year 2040.

It's business.

They're having trouble.

A lot of them, dog.

They say that they're having some trouble.

That's all I got.

Especially.

I'm trying to get my dad on my phone again.

Shout out, dog.

High schools.

Shout out to one of the prominent high schools around here, Montclair Immaculate.

It was like a real popular Catholic school.

Like a lot of the blacks went there, like from the hood.

They just shut it down.

They can't, like, the revenue is not coming in.

They can't afford to keep some of these schools.

So, same thing is going on with a lot of colleges.

They don't have enough revenue coming in.

Male attendance is really damn.

Shutting them down.

Male.

Male, yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, some of these HBCUs, it's like four to one, five to one.

Damn.

It's tough.

Even ones that have had better attendance, like Howard, are still down with male attendance.

Sounds like a perfectly great reason to go to college.

Yeah.

Who are you going to picnic?

Jeb me.

Yeah.

Jeb me.

Sounds like a threesome every night, but we're a four-some every night.

And with a camera man.

What?

So y'all think I would have enjoyed it even though I don't like Honda?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What?

They didn't like them neither.

And they got the clinic right there.

Oh yeah.

You didn't even leave campus.

I would have just seen a guidance counselor.

One-stop shot.

No guidance counselors.

Dog, what?

What was y'all SAT scores?

I got an 1170, but I didn't know how to take the SATs.

I answered every single question.

When did you graduate high school?

2001.

You?

I don't remember.

But I didn't do

PSA2.

Can I get my question answered first?

No, I said 1170.

But they did change it.

1170, 117.

They changed the SAT.

I don't remember.

I have a look.

They changed it.

I didn't take the SAT.

I took the ACT.

You had to take it.

Did you take it different, nigga?

No, you wouldn't take it.

We don't have an ASAT.

Did you take it?

No, no, not at all.

Yeah, it was different.

I didn't take the SAT, the pre-SAT.

I wish I would have spent more time learning how to take it.

I was like, I don't want to take that.

I'm going to have taken that.

1170 Cold was good in our day.

No, in our day.

Yeah, it's not bad.

It wasn't.

1170 was yours.

I think I would have got higher if I would have known how to take the test.

It's interesting, you two got the exact same score.

That is interesting.

The highest score is a 1,600 or 1600?

16?

1600?

1,600.

1600.

Yeah, when I went to my little brother's graduation, the saledatorian got like a 1350 on that motherfucker.

It's like, ooh, fancy.

Yeah.

I did graduate with a 387, though, from college.

From college.

I woke up so excited to take the pre-SAT.

Man, the disappointment that set in when they told me I didn't qualify to take it because I hadn't been in school.

Why, were you excited to take it at all?

Yeah.

I didn't know you could do that.

I didn't know that was good.

Because I used to, when I was young and pure and all of this jaded bullshit didn't come into play, I used to be excited about tests.

You tested.

I used to be real bright.

So you tested what I want to test to see how I'm crushing everybody.

You seem like you'd be good at testing.

You had to go to school to test.

I didn't know that the PSATs or SATs were dependent on.

I've never heard that before.

At Lincoln High School in Jersey City, it was for sure.

I couldn't take it.

It makes sense.

A lot of schools use

tests.

They assume the kids who don't come to school are going to do lower.

and if they want to keep their collect their overall scores higher,

they stop you from taking the test so that they can look

at it.

And at that point, I think my attendance kept me from even being able to attend school.

So let me not let me shout out Lincoln.

So I couldn't take the test if you can't even.

You're not supposed to be here.

Got you.

Yeah, I never took the pre-SAT.

Me either.

Never.

I took the SAT in 10th grade.

What was the difference between the ACT and SAT?

It was a different test.

It was just for the slow kid.

It wasn't.

It wasn't.

We just lied to Canadians.

That was for the kids.

That was a couple of screws short.

What else is important or unimportant?

Let me look at my list.

Zion and the gang.

Meg sued for fucking.

Epstein.

We did that.

Oh, homeboy that lost his hand, right?

That was important to Freeze.

He came in with that one.

Let me hear, Freeze.

Nah, I just saw it going around.

I was waiting for extra.

Well, we called called it on the last pod.

We said, shout out to y'all.

It's your last day with these hands.

Y'all gonna blow your hand off.

That was it.

It was just him with some

like bootleg M80s

and was posted a video saying he's gonna blow somebody.

I'm gonna blow somebody the fuck up today.

Now, who's this person again?

What's his name?

For Extra.

And why do we know him?

Why do we know any of them?

Why is he famous?

Why is he popular?

They said he's a rapper from out west.

Exactly.

Why do we know any of them?

And the guy that was knocking people out, they they said

just walking up to them and not

walking up to them, but he will shoot you the fair one and he his knockout rate was.

He was good at it.

Yeah, so people showed him love.

And he just came home with some shit, right?

I think so, yes.

Mad reasons.

I just heard mad reasons to want more people to know your name.

That's funny.

It's odd.

Like, even in that little speech y'all just did, let me know who he is.

I just heard like a lot of reasons for somebody to want their name known to like more people.

I mean, listen, I don't put it past nothing today,

but still in all,

just coming off of Fourth of July,

I was waiting for a story of somebody blowing their hand the fuck off, and it just happened.

And it did, and it happened, whether it was real or not.

Well, I was waiting for that story too.

Very disappointed that it wasn't somebody's hand I give a fuck about.

Sorry, sorry,

Forextra.

That's one.

Two,

I don't believe anything about Forexra's hand.

Not for one second.

Nor do I believe anything that come out of Adam 22's mouth.

The no jumper camp.

Anybody that want to be a rapper that I never heard of rapping before.

I don't believe one word of it.

He did the video with the M80s.

Them M80s look like some other shit, but oh, he did a video.

Oh, I'm about to blow something up.

Ooh, look at these, look at these, look at these.

Then the word comes out.

He blew his hand up.

Then the picture comes out of him sitting on the curb with his whole hand off with blood here and every person in the background just looking like nothing's happened.

I believe that to be AI.

Y'all want to roll with it?

Cool.

Then his sister started to go fund me.

Allegedly, the sister, because I don't know nobody's family.

Allegedly, his sister started to go fund me saying, yo, homeboy blew his hand up.

I need some.

I did not donate.

I closed my laptop.

I shut it down.

And my iPad.

all the electronics.

I gathered them up.

And then he put out an x-ray of

his broken hand.

And with all that proof,

I don't believe none of it.

Sorry.

Sorry.

So he didn't blow his hand off?

Yeah.

So it's just broken, not blowing off.

He blew his hand off, and then Adam said, no, he only blew off a couple of fingers, but nobody's seen his hand.

Nobody's seen him and I.

So they had pictures of his finger on the floor.

That's tough.

I'm just saying, I don't believe it.

I got you.

I don't.

Sorry.

Like we said, today, you got to have that stance, though.

Sorry that happened to you if it did.

And if you didn't,

yeah.

It's too perfect of an alley for the kids on the internet to say, it looks like you're going to need four extra fingers.

Kill them, kids.

Kill these little internet kids.

They say, yo, Forex to blew his hand off.

Here they go.

Lucky he gonna have it.

Oh, extra.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit, yo.

Jesus, man.

Disgusting.

Hey, JPP did it and signed contracts after that.

Got business, too.

And one of the things.

And got some money.

Forex would be cool.

Adam can't lose nobody else, man.

I don't care if I'm more immature than y'all.

Fuck y'all.

Y'all can leave.

I'll say they make Adam jokes.

What else?

What else we got?

What else we got?

Let me see.

Let me check my list.

Let me see.

Chris Paul has announced next season will be his retirement.

Oh, no.

Season.

Park.

Now, Mark, you don't know.

Parks is and has been a longtime Chris hater.

Chris Paul hater.

I gathered that from your own note.

Why?

Yeah, he hates him.

I don't know.

I've forgotten that.

No, I'll tell you what it was.

I watched him get cooked in the playoffs every year, and everybody's like, he's one one of the top three point guards of all time for years.

So the fans made you hit him.

Chris Paul is an elite point guard, but Chris Paul is the elite.

He's a very good point guard.

I mean, wow.

I'll just say this.

As of five years ago, I don't know now because I haven't really.

There was a point as late as five years ago where his PER was the best ever among point guards.

I know it's not everything.

I mean, I take Magic over him.

I take Isaiah over him.

I take maybe Jason Kidd.

I don't know.

He's dope.

But what I love about Chris Paul is his spirit, his heart, and the fact that, you know, as the head of the players union, he stood up and spoke out.

And obviously during all the uprisings, you know, he was one of the leaders taking a stand.

So Chris Paul, and he's just a good dude.

And I love that he's getting a farewell tour.

I love when the greats get a year where they can go to every arena, get a stand-in ovation, get the highlight tape, and get the love that they deserve.

And he's been doing this for what, 20 years now?

Damn near?

Yeah, probably.

Almost.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can remember when he was drafted because LeBron was drafted in 03.

He He was after LeBron, right?

So

I think it's between 20 years.

He deserves all of it.

So

after him.

Yeah, let me not let the internet jokes of my Chris Ball hatred.

He was a very good point guard.

Elite.

Yeah, for sure.

Top 10.

Top 10, maybe?

Yeah, I'm going to give you that.

Yeah, maybe.

Okay.

But top 10, what?

Point guard.

Stop it.

He's top 10.

He's higher than top 10.

Yeah.

Oh, I was just saying top 10, like wherever you want to place somebody.

He's higher.

Top 10 is a disrespectful.

Mark Price is top 10, niggas.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Mark Price is the URL.

Of course, of course not.

Mark is

top 10 point guards all time then.

Top 10 point guards are terrible.

Magic is a non-negotiable.

Isaiah is a non-negotiable.

Steph Curry is a non-negotiable.

John Stockton, Steph Curry.

John Stockton, that's four.

Jason Kissinger.

Steve Nash, Jason Kiss.

Jason Nash.

Oscar Robinson.

Oscar Robinson.

Four more time.

If you're by Oscar,

that's seven.

Jerry West is a two, right?

He's a one-two.

He's like a one-two, but I'd say him it's a two for next.

Oh, Pistol Pete.

Yap.

Might not make a difference.

Again, but I don't know.

If you got a father, talk to him about Pistol Pete.

Pistol Pete was the ship.

Is Pistol Pete above Gary Payton?

Is Pistol Pete?

Yes.

Okay.

I'm asking.

They had GP and Ray John Rondo rounded off that list.

That was the 10 that they just put out recently.

You almost made me want to call my dad and ask him what you just said.

Is Pistol Pete above Gary Payton?

I think Pistol Pete is above Gary Payton,

but I didn't watch watch enough of him play.

I mean, his three-point shooting numbers are like amazing, but again, there was no three-pointer, and his scoring is what it was.

They did a thing of where he was shooting from.

They did the advanced choice, like where he was shooting from.

They were basically like his three-point percentage was out of here.

Pistol Pete didn't miss.

Arguably invented all of that.

Jason Williams, Showtime, behind the back, under the leg shit in the 40s and 50s.

Yeah.

Like, what are we talking about?

Y'all don't have Westbrook in the top 10, I noticed.

I just asked Chat GPT just for the fuck of it.

I can't.

Just for the fuck of it.

Magic, this is in order, top 10.

Magic, Steph Curry, Oscar Robinson, Isaiah Thomas, John Stockton, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Gary Payton, Walt Clyde Frazier.

Oh, and they got GPT.

Clyde was a one.

And then

honorable mentions, Tony Parker, Kyrie Irving, Derek Rose, Russell Westbrook, Dane Lillett.

Okay, that list has never seen Pistol Pete.

I take it back.

Some of them names don't belong in front of Pistol Pete.

Yeah.

Once you got to the honor.

Mr.

Pete's a tough one.

Because nobody ever was on.

Yeah, and his name was.

Nobody does research today.

Yeah.

See, that's the part I don't know about.

That's the part I don't know about.

But anyway, but Chris Paul's up there.

I think Chris Paul's top five.

Fuck Paul.

Maybe top seven.

And that was based on

overall impact, stats, accolades, and influence on the game.

Yo,

I kind of agree with you.

Off of this for a second.

I know you and I like to stay tuned to the New York

Mayor candidacy.

Yes, they still wowing.

You see Cuomo and Eric Adams is fighting now.

Yeah, I love it.

I love it.

Just like you told me they would.

But

it happened faster than his fish just told me that.

And now they're beefing, beefing, beefing.

And Eric Adams is making sense.

They're fighting over who should sit down.

I don't even see where Cuomo has an argument in this.

Eric Adams, like, yo, dog, you just lost by

12%.

And I'm the sitting mayor.

Right.

I'm the mayor right now.

Right.

You got to go.

Sorry.

Right.

That shit is heating up, though.

Y'all going to make me watch this shit.

You crazy.

It's a bag of dope.

If you think that's young, nigga.

Cuomo has a good counter-argument, though.

What is the counter-argument?

People hate me.

Republicans will vote for me.

Adams.

I couldn't hear.

The Republicans will vote.

Now in the general election, Republicans don't have a...

Republicans can't win with a Republican ticket.

So they have to pick somebody.

And these rich white New Yorkers are more likely to vote for Cuomo than they are to vote for Adams.

So he's like, as an independent, I get Democrat votes and I get the xenophobic vote and I'll get the Republican votes.

That is a fair point.

But you just got demolished.

You just got demolished.

Homeboy, actually, he got 540,000 votes, which is the most that any candidate has gotten since like 78 or some shit like that.

So he's on a tear.

Yeah.

Like the new, the younger people that want

to, it don't matter who they get.

Yeah.

It doesn't really matter who they get.

Homeboy got it.

Definitely when Danny wins it, he's away.

Yeah, yeah.

What's next, right?

So them two have to.

I mean, they both could run, but then they're just

cannibalizing each other.

Homeboy is winning.

It's over.

He's breaking records.

Sorry, but it is fun to watch them fight about.

Just like the Larry Bird shit, yo, which one of y'all gonna be number two?

Who gonna be the runner up?

Right.

Because this is over.

Yeah.

This is in the back.

You know how much shit you got to just talk?

You talking up all-stars.

Yo, which one of y'all fighting for number two?

Right.

Because I'm going home with this trophy, my nigga.

That's why I love Larry Bird.

Nigga, take the warm-up off.

Right.

Right.

What?

Just j in their hands off.

Yo, didn't take, yo.

That was crazy, bro.

Larry Bird will always be my favorite.

Larry Bird told them niggas, yo,

I'm not using my right hand on no white guys.

Don't just get 40 with the left

and really go out and do what you say.

Come on, dog.

Stop playing with good old Larry.

joe don't like larry core neither

no i respect larry it's just uh the longevity portion but i respect larry yeah i think you came around yo you watch a doc or something

no

oh he went into larry before yeah he wasn't giving larry his props i think he came on the props no no no no no

it's it's fun to on larry

okay it's fun to shit on larry because they do uh

michael magic Bird, and I think that's what white people did for Star Trek and Star Wars.

Again, I don't think that Bird belongs in the same sentence.

Is Michael a magic?

I don't.

Tell me why.

Because he's white.

If that's the reason, I got a counterargument.

Okay, yeah.

They said he was good, though.

It ain't about skill.

A little bit more than skill.

It ain't about skill for me.

I respect that.

I'm down.

No, niggas gave him them.

People gave him a nigga wasn't good, bro.

He was flipping.

He said her Larry Bird was good, though.

No, no, no, no.

I heard you.

Hey,

Baby mummers.

Bring his drama to the deep covers.

Salute G, buff you down like a loosey.

My name, Potty Lane, wouldn't go Uzi.

Come to Italy, Africa, and Sicily.

The niggas that consistency, point guns and missing me.

And yo, beef in the hood again.

Niggas get my words again.

Thinking that it would have been squashed.

Yo, hopefully y'all enjoyed this broadcast as much as we enjoyed delivering it to you.

Keep us in your prayers, Lord knows we need to be there.

Until the next time we bid you adieu farewell,

adios, cerebral dirci, hasta, la vista, au revoir, or so long goodbye, or a simple head now will suffice.

Remember, life is a series of moments and moments pass.

So let's make this one last as if it's all we have.

Until next time, y'all hold it down.
