Episode 797 | "Clean Sweep"

Speaker 1 The thoughts, views, and opinions expressed by this podcast, as well as its hosts, are for entertainment purposes only.

Speaker 1 I repeat, it is not serious. It is not real.
No one is exposing, revealing, indicting,

Speaker 1 or telling you anything about themselves.

Speaker 1 Also, we do not encourage you to try this at home.

Speaker 1 We are trained professionals who do not have your best interests at heart or our own.

Speaker 1 Enjoy the show.

Speaker 1 We're just going to say what time it is. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I mean, yeah, we're here. We're here.

Speaker 1 Not even used to some type of structure.

Speaker 1 Niggas not even used to starting on the time at the time you're supposed to start. I mean, look, Mel looks so confused.
He's like, wait, what's going on? It's too early for this.

Speaker 2 No, well, my question is, is this it?

Speaker 1 What does that mean?

Speaker 2 We are missing two cast members.

Speaker 1 What time? Focus is in the wrong place.

Speaker 2 I understand that.

Speaker 1 So you're ratting? I'm not ratting. Actually, I'm kind of surprised that Ish isn't here because he's been making a you ratted last part too when we were about to start.
You say, where's Flat?

Speaker 2 I sure the fuck did because he gets special treatment.

Speaker 1 Who? Oh. Flip.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You think Flip gets special treatment?

Speaker 2 Yes, yes, and I know that I'm not the only one. I just, I'm the one who's not.

Speaker 1 So now you're speaking for other people. Well, I'll just speak for myself right now.
Do you think that you are allowed to speak for other people?

Speaker 2 No, not necessarily.

Speaker 1 Okay, so speak for you.

Speaker 2 But every once in a while, people just do this, whew, thank God she said it.

Speaker 1 And you think that's what's happening? Tell me why you think Flip is special treatment. The motherfucking person.

Speaker 2 He comes and goes as he pleases.

Speaker 1 I'm not dog paling.

Speaker 2 Okay, he comes and goes as he pleases. He decides he wants to stay or he's going to leave.
He shows up when he wants. He never writes on the board.
Like, it's endless.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 It's endless. It's endless.
And this has nothing to do. I love him, but it's like.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I don't know.
It's a little bit of ratting early in the pod.

Speaker 1 But let me just tell you while we're here just shooting the shit.

Speaker 1 You think everyone is beholden to the same rules?

Speaker 2 Apparently not.

Speaker 1 Amel. And if it's apparently not, then would he be getting special treatment?

Speaker 2 Okay, you're right. It is too early.
Connections, synapses are not firing on all syllables.

Speaker 1 Have you ever worked corporate before?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 Were there people that was,

Speaker 1 how can I say it? When you work corporate, you kind of just got to worry about you.

Speaker 2 Okay, this isn't corporate.

Speaker 1 I think that's

Speaker 1 where the problem is. That's some of the problem lies.
I think everywhere you got to kind of worry about you, by the way. Yeah, but facts.

Speaker 1 It's a mistake I see up here a lot, and it's because everybody's friends with Joe. Well, no.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 I could not agree more with what Ice is saying.

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 2 That may be true, but in addition to that, the fact that

Speaker 2 you're right, worry about you. However, a lot of the chemistry up here depends on the connections that we all make.

Speaker 2 Like we rely on the chemistry in order to produce a really, really good fucking show.

Speaker 1 So in that way, this is not a corporate structure.

Speaker 2 This is a show. This is a production that is dependent on us being here and us.
communicating with each other in the way that the audience expects it. Facts.

Speaker 1 Now, what we also are, we are all professionals. Yes.

Speaker 2 And we do well whenever somebody is not here.

Speaker 1 We adjust.

Speaker 2 However, nobody's been given a memo that either one of those two is not coming. So they're just not here at the start time.

Speaker 1 And that's we have to do. So now you work with the people that came to work.
That's it. Okay.

Speaker 2 Y'all, listen, y'all want to win. You got it.

Speaker 1 Wait, no, after last week, I ain't fighting with y'all motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 I'm never trying to fight. I'm not trying to fight.
You're good. You good.
I'm never trying to fight with you. You good.
But I'm not trying to fight on a flip topic. I'm not trying to fight.

Speaker 1 You're not.

Speaker 1 someone else.

Speaker 1 I'm just letting you know that everyone here is not beholden to the same rules and regulations. Expectations also.
Yeah, at all. And that's a mistake to think that.

Speaker 1 It ain't going to be a good idea. We expect Flip to do what the fuck he wants.
Really? You don't?

Speaker 1 Kind of.

Speaker 1 I'm just, I expect it. Yeah.
Yeah. Flip is here in that capacity.
His contract is constructed in that capacity.

Speaker 1 Oh, then I have nothing to say about that.

Speaker 2 If this contract is not.

Speaker 1 If this contract is not your contract, which is not Mark contract, which is not ICE contract or

Speaker 1 ish or parks, everybody is not the same.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if it's constructed in a way where he gets to come and go as he pleases and just appears whenever he wants, then you got it.

Speaker 1 So you're on his ass. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't like that shit.

Speaker 1 Mel is on his ass. Mel, like, if I got to get up and be in here, god damn it, you need to get up and be in here too.
Yeah, but I only do this because that's not right of Mel.

Speaker 1 Because when her contract comes up, she organizes it how she sees fit for her, not for everybody else. That's what everybody should do when this contract comes up.

Speaker 1 I'm wrong. Oh, this is going to be a good day.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 We had a whole conversation several months ago

Speaker 1 where

Speaker 2 Flip started talking about, you know,

Speaker 2 I'm asking for this. I'm doing this.

Speaker 2 And I remarked, I said, wow, that is really interesting that men really walk through the world like a wake is in front of them. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 Like where they just, they don't have anything like impeding them in terms of, you know, oh, well,

Speaker 2 should I ask for this and should I ask for that? And some women, you know, came for me and

Speaker 1 I asked for what the fuck I want.

Speaker 2 Okay, cool. That's you.
But primarily, women do have struggled, you know, over the course of history for asking what they want because it's very easy to say.

Speaker 1 That's very true. Thank you.
I really underpay all my women employees.

Speaker 1 You don't know how easy it is. And they take it.
Nah, that's fire.

Speaker 1 That's kind of fire.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. But you're an ally.

Speaker 1 And seriously, though, I do have to often encourage them

Speaker 1 to do more. Like, I don't even have to say you have to ask for a while.
Front-facing work. I've really mentored them to ask for a while.
Front-facing, we're going to be allies.

Speaker 2 Right. So

Speaker 2 when I construct my contract, it is.

Speaker 1 Can I just say it never surprises me when you'll pull from the historic plight of women before you?

Speaker 2 Why not?

Speaker 1 Because, Mel, in one breath, you can't say, this don't feel like corporate, and then say, I'm afraid to talk when it's contract time.

Speaker 1 Yes, I can. You got it.

Speaker 2 I can, because the two things have nothing to do with each other. You're afraid to talk to who?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 Corporate environment versus contract negotiations. That's completely different.

Speaker 1 Who are you afraid to talk to when it's time to negotiate your contract?

Speaker 2 I wouldn't categorize it as a fear.

Speaker 1 Who are you timid to speak to? Because every new contract, you've asked for things. Why are you asking? Why are you talking?

Speaker 1 What? Not her. She has somebody.
Oh, okay. I'll be talking about that.
You mean that?

Speaker 1 No, no, she has somebody. She has somebody.
I was good. But that's my point.
The somebody she has is, he has a dick.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. So that goes to the bottom.
Where does the fear, where does the, where does the fear go?

Speaker 2 Because he's just my proxy. He represents me.

Speaker 1 Yes, mel.

Speaker 1 Is he white? No. Oh, well.

Speaker 1 Is he a freshman? I should hire a white man. Oh, my God.
Okay, gotcha. You should see my TV.
Uh-oh, gotcha.

Speaker 1 I got you.

Speaker 1 Am I lying to you?

Speaker 1 My whole life changed when I got a white guy.

Speaker 1 My entire life changed. I'm forever in debt to parks.
My entire life changed when I got a white Jewish guy behind me. Oh, man.
I know the audience don't want to hear. I'm sorry.
I did it y'all way.

Speaker 1 I did it y'all way first. It's me and some friends.

Speaker 1 Some black people.

Speaker 1 I did it y'all way. Record label people.
It failed.

Speaker 1 Trust. I was twisted.

Speaker 1 So now your dude with a dick that talks for you. Shout out to my man because he's real cool.

Speaker 1 Is he afraid?

Speaker 2 No, he's not afraid. Okay.
He's not afraid. And he encourages me to, you know, to

Speaker 2 not have any timidity when we're approaching the contract negotiations.

Speaker 1 And And you was just on air not even three weeks ago saying, I love you here. I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to leave.
I never want to leave.

Speaker 1 See, I put you in those spots publicly so you could say that because of all that you go through behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 Because you look like you hate it here, but then I get you to say it. Oh, I absolutely love it.

Speaker 1 They be out there going, Mel, absolutely.

Speaker 1 That's the best. Oh, no, I never, ever heard her name.
But everybody out there is saying, oh, she hates them. She hates hate.
She hates them niggas. Like, we should work on your acting.

Speaker 1 You're acting like Beyonce acting.

Speaker 1 She was surprised. I know she was.
We're going to talk about that later. Shout out to the Carters.
Congratulations to her. Yes.
Congratulations to her. Hove, Blue, the entire family.

Speaker 1 We'll get to the, oh, I totally wasn't expecting this look later. But

Speaker 1 there was a few giveaways.

Speaker 1 She was there. Right.

Speaker 1 Point one.

Speaker 1 How y'all feeling? Feel good. I feel great.

Speaker 1 Started out with a little. That's right.

Speaker 1 Talk behind niggas' backs. It is hot.
That's why it's good to start before people get here, so we can talk behind their backs. I'll say it to their fucking face.

Speaker 1 What we got to say about Ish, too, while he's not here.

Speaker 2 Why the fuck isn't he here?

Speaker 1 This is what I'll say.

Speaker 1 I'm going to shoot Ish some bell.

Speaker 1 Because in the limited time I've been here, Ish doesn't necessarily get here at 10:30, but he always gets here before we start. So I'm assuming he probably has like an emergency.

Speaker 1 I would bet money that something happened to him. He didn't get a text

Speaker 1 as opposed to. And they didn't get a text.
Ian got a text. Oh, did you? Yeah.
Cool. I have nothing.
Was it an emergency? What did he say?

Speaker 1 Mel,

Speaker 1 you can't be the black Karen.

Speaker 1 You can't be this Karen. He's already fucking designed that title.
Flip gets you that much ire in

Speaker 1 your tone.

Speaker 1 Flip's actions should not make you fucking blood boil.

Speaker 1 And especially because you could do what you want to if your contract reflects that.

Speaker 2 I probably

Speaker 1 wouldn't have asked you. And if you would like to amend it, call in after this.

Speaker 1 My middle name this month and the rest of these is amend or another word I can't say.

Speaker 1 But this is the year.

Speaker 2 I really want to know what that word is.

Speaker 1 Nah, not now. Not now.
There'll come a time. Okay.
Oh, my God. And whenever that time comes, it'll be the top thing in your YouTube algorithm.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I'm just telling y'all what it is, Dale. But anyway.

Speaker 2 Gotcha, okay.

Speaker 1 Who's ready for some fun? Let's go, man.

Speaker 1 Who's ready for some fun?

Speaker 1 Flip, your sister, your sis.

Speaker 1 Skip your fucking Mel is a face that shit.

Speaker 1 Mel be on his ass. Yo, the Mel don't play.

Speaker 1 She be on his ass. But she did it last week and it totally went over my head.
She was like, where's Flip? I was like, don't speak him up.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. It went right over my head that Karen shit.

Speaker 2 It's not Karen.

Speaker 1 He's going to get you. He's going to get you when he gets here.

Speaker 2 He always does. He's going to get you in a hit.
No, I owe him. At this point how much shit he fucking you know fucking does to me i owe him

Mark Lamont. Fucking hill is in the building, man.

Speaker 1 Stop Stop playing with him. Stop playing with him.
Mark, how you feeling, man? Man, I've been on the road all since the last time you seen me, man. What'd you say?

Speaker 1 I've been on the road for the last shit week. I'm exhausted.
Yeah, I've seen some speeches. Yeah, I saw you.
I've been everywhere. You was giving it up.

Speaker 1 Bro, trying, man. Yeah.
Trying, man. I got in that flew in from Indianapolis this morning and came straight here.
Oh, shit. Oh, man.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Was it like a tragedy or something out there? Like, I know they called you to one of the first responses.

Speaker 1 I was giving, it's Black History Month, so it's that time.

Speaker 1 It's written by himself, written by herself, Phyllis Wheatley,

Speaker 1 because they thought Negroes couldn't read and write.

Speaker 1 They thought Negroes didn't have the capacity to read and write.

Speaker 1 Stop us from learning how to do what? Read and write.

Speaker 1 If we can't read and write, what are you trying so hard to stop us for? Big Mar

Speaker 1 and the answer is because America has always known what you are.

Speaker 1 America has always known who you are.

Speaker 1 America has understood what you're capable of, and they will make you think you ain't nothing at the same time that they exploit your gifts. They'll tell you you lazy and make you a slave.

Speaker 1 They'll tell you you dirty and have you clean their house. They'll tell you you uncivilized and we raise their children.
Oh my goodness. Dr.
Mark Lamont. They know who you are.

Speaker 1 Doctors in the building.

Speaker 1 But it's time that you listen to who you are.

Speaker 1 Talk and understand

Speaker 1 who you are.

Speaker 1 Two different preachers.

Speaker 1 God

Speaker 1 damn. That was great.
We got to give it up in the room for that, man.

Speaker 1 We got to give it up in the room for that, man. You went crazy.

Speaker 1 My nigga walked up to the pastor pulpit, got in his bag. Dr.
Mark Lamont Hill is with us in the building.

Speaker 1 Big Freeze is in the building. Jersey's finest.
You know the vibes. Elmira's best.
Parks is in the building.

Corey is here. Vern is here, dressed like a deacon.

Speaker 1 Erickson is here. Tanner and Savon are here by remote last, but certainly not least, each and every one of you guys out there are in the building.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm feeling good. I'm well rested.

Speaker 1 Thankful for God to put breath in our lungs this morning. Hopefully, what I'm reading about Irv Gotti is not true.
So we start with a prayer for him, whether it's true or not, because that's my man.

Speaker 1 Irv, I love you. I'm praying for you in my prayers, my brother.
How's everybody doing? How's everybody feeling? What's going on? You're looking good. You're smelling good.
Talk to me. Talk to me now.

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go.

Speaker 1 I got some news that one of the cast members is questioning my, you know, my privileges.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 last time that happened, I was extremely mean, so I'm going to approach this situation more diplomatic. I think it's very bad that we do that.

Speaker 1 I think that we should worry about oneself and respect each other's private business and not try to put it to the boss to make it seem like somebody's being insubordinate.

Speaker 1 And I love you, Melissa Ford. What's up with you, man? Yo.
How'd you hear about that so fast? Streets.

Speaker 1 I think that you hear the streets.

Speaker 1 Oh, was you was down there you were listening

No, Mel, don't play. She don't play.
Mel, no, Mel. She ain't not here for the shit.
All right, come on, man. No need to waste time.

Speaker 1 Again, shout out to Prize Fix, Power Buy, Few Buy, Prize Fix, Prize Fix Gear. Salute, salute, salute, salute, salute.

Speaker 1 Let's get right to it. Where do you want to start?

Speaker 1 Starting with the Grammys. You want to start? You know where we're starting? Grammys.
I thought you were saying, which part of the Grammys do you want to start with? It was a bloodbath, man.

Speaker 2 Well, first of all, that was the first time in a really long time that I actually watched the entire telecast the entire way through. So it was a really good production.

Speaker 1 It was. I do want to say that.
Pre-telecast. Me too.
The whole way through on the stream and then turned to television.

Speaker 1 I do want to say they should do a better job of advertising the pre-telecast because that's a lot of the awards that we actually care about. for sure.

Speaker 1 And there's moments that happen in that too that are noteworthy of being watched.

Speaker 1 I do like this year. Well, I don't know if they've done it before, but I saw it this year.
They had, if you scan the QR code, it put like the runner show up there. So you were able to see

Speaker 1 who's presenting and what awards they're going to present and what performances there were in order. So you could check in, like, all right, this is happening.

Speaker 1 I know what I want to see is a little bit more. In the opera section, I can go do something else.

Speaker 1 Once I saw Jimmy Jam walked out there, said, all right, here we go. This is what I need to see.
Right. So, this is where Chris.
I was watching the fucking pre-show on E.

Speaker 1 The regular carpet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was watching the regular red carpet. That's what I was watching first because that's like all I could find, like, advertised or whatever.
People posted now.

Speaker 1 I was like, okay, I guess I'll watch this. And then I went to the website and saw the other shit.
Yeah. And I was like, okay, cool.
I'll watch my laptop.

Speaker 1 And then I was like, let me see if it's on YouTube buried somewhere. And it was on there.
Oh, it was? Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I just watched shit on the stream.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying they should make that a little bit more clear. I agree.
Do y'all want to start with some winners and congratulate people, or should I just go right to my notes? Hit the notes, big dog.

Speaker 1 I'm happy for Breezy. You know? Absolutely.
Happy for Breezy. Gotta be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've been tweeting about that Chris Brown winner. I'm still every hour of the album.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let me hit the round of applause. You got a notes?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got no notes. No, I said I wore my Chris Brown shirt.
Let's go, Freeze. Let's hit the round of applause for Chris Brown.
Absolutely. That's the finally winning best RB album of the year.

Speaker 1 And he beat out some heavyweights. Well deserved.
I thought Usher might deserve anyway. I would have blew i'd have shot my tv but that's how the gravies be working though you know

Speaker 1 yeah i was really expecting usher to win that i thought i thought uh they would i thought lucky day might get it that's another grandma baby that was a good album too it was a great album

Speaker 1 yeah so but but um chris brown deserved it he did sure i think he deserved the award before that he was nominated for best r b performance for residuals which that's the one that you were you know that's the one yeah i didn't even think he had a chance on honestly for uh

Speaker 1 our r b album i didn't think they would do that i Residuals is a smash record, though. It's heavy radio play.
The song is everywhere.

Speaker 1 So I just knew he would win the award for that one if the Grammys are at the point where they're trying to change things now. They seem to be.

Speaker 1 But Money Long ended up winning for the BET live version of her record. So I was like, uh-huh.
That's interesting. It was very interesting to me.

Speaker 1 She did smoke that performance. She did.
She did. I was a really good person.
I just didn't know that live performances were eligible for individual awards in this manner. Is it a new category? No.

Speaker 1 No, I guess it was Grammy performance. It was released,

Speaker 1 but it was after the fact. I don't know.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 She's released multiple live versions of that song. So there's the BET version, and then there's another version she's done.
So, yeah, this one was Grammy eligible and won.

Speaker 1 And congratulations to her for the other. She's amazing.

Speaker 1 But then they did the RB album. And he beat out Lucky Day, Usher, Layla Hathaway.
Like, he beat out some names.

Speaker 1 I stood up. I was cheering in the crib i went and got me a bottle i felt you chris brown fan like that or you just thought he'd be you popped some more

Speaker 1 wow oh yeah no he oh yes i don't play we love breezy yo i don't play wow yeah i don't play same but ice probably has me beat yeah i i like him i just i don't popping no bottles for him

Speaker 1 i appreciate his talent if it wasn't for that relax if it wasn't for that very dark grammy night ages ago we would be singing a different story about chris brown the fact who he is i would like to see chris brown Brown at the Grammys at some point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they could have used him this year.

Speaker 1 For that, Michael Jackson? Yeah, yeah. We'll jump in ahead.

Speaker 1 We'll get to it.

Speaker 1 Okay. No, no, I'm saying, though, did you finish? No, I just, I was just happy.
Like,

Speaker 1 I felt like I won the fucking Grammy.

Speaker 1 I was deadass.

Speaker 1 And a lot of Chris Brown fans, fans that I talked to, we all felt the same way. Like, yo, they.

Speaker 1 Album? Finally. He's had amazing projects.
So it's like, but you always get overlooked. Sometimes you don't even get nominated.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 it was just a good feeling. So congratulations to him, the whole team, Breezy.
Like, this was amazing.

Speaker 1 Very first on my notes is

Speaker 1 oh, they playing with babyface. Nah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was great. That was ugly.
That was disgusting. That was

Speaker 1 AP. Here we go.

Speaker 2 Pop and rock as well.

Speaker 1 Yes, I think

Speaker 1 it's interesting.

Speaker 1 Chapel.

Speaker 1 Chapel!

Speaker 1 You guys want to do that?

Speaker 1 Go through that.

Speaker 1 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 Hello. How are you doing, Chapel?

Speaker 1 Boy, was I sick to my stomach watching this. While I'm in my clips, I'll just play a dear bullshit apology.

Speaker 1 Did you see before that?

Speaker 2 Sorry about interrupting babyface.

Speaker 1 Wait, let me play the apology.

Speaker 2 Chapel Roan had come up and there was a lot of...

Speaker 1 Actually, fuck the apology. Yeah, it was.
Even prior, like, that clip started a little late.

Speaker 1 Before that, they were talking to him and they asked him about what does he think about the resurgence of women in RB and

Speaker 1 about

Speaker 1 this new sound of RB that's kind of fusing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that was the question that she was in.

Speaker 1 But I'm just saying in the clip. Got it.
You asking babyface this, dog. Like, nigga, I'm the reason for this.
He's the architect, yeah. He wrote Waiting XY Sounds.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 I was

Speaker 1 like, the question.

Speaker 2 They were out of their depth. They were out of their depth.
But, so it was two girls. The one that was actually posing the question,

Speaker 2 when she heard her counterpart calling for Chapel, she was, she elbowed her and looked completely mortified.

Speaker 2 So like they're both being crucified, but it really was like the idiot with the gray dress on who's like, oh my God, Chapel. Yeah, it was just cool.
You know,

Speaker 1 and you just talked about that. You did.

Speaker 1 You literally just talked about how they said that, how they did it on the red carpet. Because those red carpets get a little tricky.

Speaker 1 And if you've ever been on one, one both as an artist and as a reporter it's a lot going on it is a lot going on so i want to extend that grace yeah to these two uh music deaf white people that did this interview and the ap i thought this was totally disrespectful extremely but but par the course for what happens on on a red carpet uh but to interrupt babyface

Speaker 1 12-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, songwriter, producer, over 800 million records sold, produced fucking

Speaker 1 100.

Speaker 1 Babyface resume.

Speaker 1 We maybe do. Yeah, maybe we do.
We maybe do.

Speaker 1 Maybe some people don't know.

Speaker 1 We old. Yeah, we're.
I'll just say 125 top 10 hits, 45 number one RB hits, 16 number one pop hits. Like babyface is babyface, and

Speaker 1 I am putting some of this onus on him. I am.

Speaker 2 What do you mean?

Speaker 1 You don't talk shit at all? Because stop, don't talk to them.

Speaker 1 Why are you talking to them? Now, I put it on all of us. Because if they invited me to the Grammy Red Carpet to talk to the people that are legends, that music people know are legends, I wouldn't go.

Speaker 1 Like, I wouldn't do it. And the Grammys are not inviting people that know about music really on the red carpet to speak to these people.
And babyface wants to get in front of the camera or the

Speaker 1 microphone of platforms that he may not typically be in front of. But he shouldn't be talking to them.

Speaker 1 You babyface. At all times, you babyface.

Speaker 2 But he's also extremely extremely gracious, and we really saw that when that whole kerfuffle was going on between him and Anita Baker when she was on tour.

Speaker 2 So he's just known to be a very gracious man. That's number one.
And number two, this Grammys was particularly important just because of what happened in L.A., the wildfire.

Speaker 2 So they really, that was front and center. You know, donations to everybody that had lost in the wildfire.
So L.A.

Speaker 1 What does that have to do with babyface talking to AP and these two white people?

Speaker 2 Meaning you asked why he was even there.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. No.
That's why he was was there. He said why.

Speaker 1 Why are you talking to them?

Speaker 1 Why are you there speaking to these people? Beyonce's stopping up the background. Yeah, and my counterpoint to number one.
Wait, what was number one again? Say it again.

Speaker 2 Is that he's a very gracious man.

Speaker 1 Okay, I think that that's performative.

Speaker 1 Okay. That's performative.
If you watch Babyface versus Teddy Riley, you know who Babyface is, how he feels about himself, his catalog, his discography, and you peons out there.

Speaker 1 All of that being nice shit is humble artist shit. Even how he ended this.
Yo,

Speaker 1 oh, you want to do that?

Speaker 1 Go do that.

Speaker 1 Like, babyface is slick with it behind the scenes. Even that shit he said to Anita Baker.
Humble, gracious, all of that performative shit. But you know how you feel about Anita Baker for real.

Speaker 1 But that's what in our 35 years.

Speaker 2 But that's what grace is, is even when you know exactly who the fuck you are, you are still, you're not braggadocious about it. You're not like,

Speaker 2 you know who the fuck I am. No, that is what grace is when you know exactly who you are and you choose to give a muted response.
That's what grace is. That's number one.

Speaker 2 And number two, just because these two young girls, you know, I get it by on site, but Associated Press is an extraordinarily respectable media outlet. That is why he would have stopped to talk about.

Speaker 1 Are they baby face?

Speaker 2 I'm not trying to make

Speaker 1 go ahead.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I'm not fighting with you. I'm just

Speaker 1 talking.

Speaker 2 I know, I'm just making a point as to why he would have, these two girls aren't just like, hi, this is our blog.

Speaker 2 They're with the Associated Press, you know, so, and that is a very respectable, long-running media outlet. So that is, so that's why he would have stopped to talk.

Speaker 2 And it's also, you already know how red carpets are. It's a row.
So he was probably making his way down the row. You can look at the things on the floor to see who everybody is.

Speaker 2 You're like, I can skip that. You know, have a publicist kind of shooing you along.
Oh, babe face, we got associated press over here. And you kind of get maneuvered along.
That's how it happens.

Speaker 2 So that's probably how he ended ended up there, but also, oh, it's okay. It's Associated Press.
This makes sense for me to stop and talk to you.

Speaker 1 I'm guessing that he shouldn't have. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm saying he shouldn't have. Okay.
You said he shouldn't have done the red carpet at all? Is there anybody you think he should stop for?

Speaker 1 Maybe. I just don't feel like Babyface should ever appear to be on the new act stroll.

Speaker 1 There's really no need for Babyface to be talking to AP right now. So I'm asking you, do you think he should have stopped and and talked to anybody on the red carpet? Or just

Speaker 1 I think it's

Speaker 1 speak to the music outlets that sent knowledgeable people to do this.

Speaker 1 Not just needed a presence there because it's the Grammys and now we're going to disrespect some of the kings and queens of black music. So like if Rolling Stone is on a carpet, maybe do that.

Speaker 1 But not if they sent somebody

Speaker 1 music. It's like you going to Rolling Stone and the person that you're sitting with mispronounced your name.

Speaker 1 That's what it is, the equivalent. You wouldn't know that that person is going to mispronounce your name until they do it.
One, two,

Speaker 1 if it's just mom and pop publication, you're not going at all. But because it's Rolling Stone, all right, I'll go there.
That's kind of what you're saying.

Speaker 1 Because it's AP, all right, cool, I'll stop here. Now you realize this is a doof and don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Yo, go do that.

Speaker 1 Which is a problem, too, because AP has music reporters. AP has a department.
They're one of the few news organizations that didn't shrink the way everybody else did.

Speaker 1 They just chose the cheap. They went on the cheap.
They got these

Speaker 1 young white girls who were fanning out over Chappellerone and who had no professionalism at all.

Speaker 1 And I've worked a lot of, not a lot, I've worked a decent amount of red carpets as an interviewer. And sometimes you do get stuck with the, not stuck.

Speaker 1 You get the person who you like, and then you see out of the corner of your eye this person who you will get a raise if you get, or the person who you keep your job.

Speaker 1 And for them, Chappelle is that person, and Babyface is not. But what you do is you phase out the interview.

Speaker 1 You change the question, you pivot, or you cut them short in a way that doesn't look like you cut them short.

Speaker 1 This white girl was ducking

Speaker 1 and maneuvering while babyface is talking, looking all doofy in the face. This girl

Speaker 1 doing the interview, she could have very easily went over and tried to recruit. That's what she should have done.

Speaker 1 And then to just scream out, Chappa, Chapo. That was Laura Hawking? Like, I think number one is Cap.
I don't think Beyonce is talking to nobody that's going to call her a different name.

Speaker 1 Or that's going to not know her projects. Or that's going to not know what she's been up to.
You wouldn't know. You wouldn't know.
Man, Babyface is Babyface. I don't want to hear this shit.

Speaker 1 Babyface is damn near on the fucking Mount Rushmore. Yeah, the Mount Rushmore of music, especially R ⁇ B songwriting, whatever he is.
Yeah, that's true. That's

Speaker 1 true. Because if Beyonce is doing a sit-down interview with Rolling Stone, she knows who that interviewer is before they're going to be.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of checks and balances that will happen during that time. This is a red carpet.
It's frenzy.

Speaker 1 It's totally different.

Speaker 1 That should happen to Glorilla.

Speaker 1 That should happen to a new act.

Speaker 1 That should not happen to babyface. Well, the craziest shit is that

Speaker 1 the baby is not a bad person.

Speaker 2 Exactly, because because of how young they were and that's what a lot of these publications are doing they're sending out you know people they're sending out kids basically who might have like a strong presence online because of their blogs and stuff like that but they're not journalists they're not music journalists and they don't have like you know an encycloped encyclopedia kind of memory or knowledge about who everybody is might have heard your name exactly but they're not going to understand the power of babyface like you just said when you were running down his accomplishments you would just said we're old they are not so they probably they do not know the impact of the man that was standing in front of them they know the name but they do not know the impact they know it now half of you maybe they still don't half of y'all out there was probably born and conceived to babyface

Speaker 1 agree babyface disrespect will not be tolerated by music lovers especially black music lovers uh

Speaker 1 what's next on my list trevor noah is talking really fast in the opening

Speaker 1 okay

Speaker 1 listen my notes

Speaker 1 I was watching and just writing. Yep.

Speaker 1 He did sound like he was on an ad roll to me during the opening. He seemed nervous to me.

Speaker 1 Not nervous, like, I've never been here before, but nervous, like, you know, he don't do it every day anymore.

Speaker 1 He was rushing his jokes a little bit. Because I thought they were funny, but they were like.
They were fast. Yeah.
They were very,

Speaker 1 it was fast. I mean, I thought he did a good job, but it was rushed.
And I would like Jesse Collins, shout out to Jesse and everybody that

Speaker 1 put these awards together. But it is time for y'all to consider new host options.

Speaker 1 It is. They playing it safe, bro.
I like Trevor. I do like Trevor.
I feel like Trevor. I do too.
I'd like to see Cardi be host of Granny's.

Speaker 1 Just think out the box. It's always Trevor.
It's always Kevin. It's always Chris Rock.
It's always Tahaji. It's always

Speaker 1 the same people. Yeah, the Safe Blacks.
Yeah, Trevor is like King Safe Black. All right.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get this party started with some Cheryl Crow in the doors.

Speaker 1 Let's get this Grammy party started.

Speaker 1 John Legend and

Speaker 1 Brittany Howard. It was like a little on the show.
Oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 John Legend was there. Oh, no, no, no.
So that's one of my notes. John Legend was there all day.

Speaker 1 Like the pre-show that I was watching that started at like two o'clock, he was there. And he was like the only celebrity that was there that early.
So every award, you know, they got to show somebody.

Speaker 1 They just kept showing John Legend. John Legend

Speaker 1 reminds me of like me coming up as a rapper trying to find a cipher in any jersey hood. John Legend is going to find a singing cipher if there is one.
Or a piano cipher.

Speaker 1 Or a piano cipher. You're absolutely right.
He found Cheryl Crowe in the doors.

Speaker 1 It wasn't the doors. I saw one.

Speaker 1 Until y'all tell me who that was, that was the doors. Fair enough.
All right, but she got this party started. So when that happened, I'm thinking to myself, okay, same old.

Speaker 1 I thought, no, when I saw that little performance, I was like, oh, this music might not be that good tonight. I went and grabbed a vacuum.
Okay, I got it. I started vacuuming over the doors.

Speaker 1 It was Sheryl Crow. Over the doors, man.

Speaker 2 It was Cheryl Crowe, Brittany Howard, St. Vincent,

Speaker 2 who ends up winning an award later on.

Speaker 1 She won like 50,000 awards in that pre-ceremony. Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes, Brad Paisley, who's a country artist, and John Legend. So that was this, and they were singing I Love LA, which is a Randy Newman song in a tribute to

Speaker 1 everything that it happens. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 If I had a lasso and knew how to use it, I would have yanked them niggas off the side. Yeah, that shit stoke.
Yeah, that was in that sandman out there. Yeah, that was horrible.
Bring it back to me.

Speaker 1 I get the sentiment, but that was that stoke. Yeah, like it even made the vacuum noise sound bad over the back.
That was a fucking mess. And I'm thinking to myself, oh boy, here we go.

Speaker 1 Same old Grammy, whitewash, just soulless, sauceless, cool. But

Speaker 1 I did vacuum. Let's see.

Speaker 1 I knew Kanye wasn't invited. I knew Kanye wasn't invited.

Speaker 1 So he just crashed the party? No, he crashed the red carpet.

Speaker 1 And then left. And then left.
He got to the red carpet

Speaker 1 with his naked wife.

Speaker 1 Did the red carpet and left. Got back in the car and left.
And while he was doing that, I'm talking to my girl. I'm like, no way he was invited there.
Nobody knows. He wasn't invited there.

Speaker 1 Was he nominated, man? No. Yes.
Yes. Was he? Yes.
Yeah. Carnival was nominated.
Yeah. He had one nomination.
Oh, so he was invited. Yeah, he was.
So there was a rumor that he got asked to leave.

Speaker 1 And then he bumped it and said that he actually was allowed to be there. I don't think they expected him on a red carpet, though.
It was clear they didn't expect him on a red carpet.

Speaker 1 No, they didn't expect her

Speaker 1 like they did not. I feel sorry for her, man.
Why? Why?

Speaker 1 Oh, let me see how you pull this one off.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I'm not saying like she's, she looks like she's in a cult.
Whenever I look at her, she don't look like, she looks like she's not all the way there.

Speaker 1 That's what I, I get, I get like cult member vibes from her. That's all.
And I worry about her. That's all.

Speaker 1 That's the look that women get when you make eight and nine figures. Oh, is that? I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 Is that the look?

Speaker 1 So I'm assuming that Kanye would be the cult leader, yes?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And be clear, I'm not blaming Kanye. I'm saying that Kanye got his stuff.
I feel sorry for Kanye in a lot of ways. I worry about him.

Speaker 1 Like when I saw his tweets, when I saw all his social media stuff, I was like, he might be back in. Either he got an album coming out or he's not in a good space.

Speaker 1 And when I see her, I feel like this is somebody else who's not in a good space. When I saw it, but to walk down that carpet,

Speaker 1 take off your coat, be butt-ass naked, basically, and then walk back on. That's not normal people's shit.
You know what's funny about that? Is it a little bit of a trendy?

Speaker 1 And I thought this when I saw them two on the red carpet and people were tweeting and sharing their opinion, which mirrored mirrored yours somewhat.

Speaker 1 I think a lot of people totally miss that at least a third of Kanye's discography is about his porn addiction. Yes.

Speaker 1 That's real. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think he was able to do that

Speaker 1 very subtly to where nobody notices most of what he talks about is a sex addiction and a porn addiction. And when you keep that in the forefront of your mind, everything makes sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, but why when it comes to a black man doing it, it has to be something wrong with him.

Speaker 1 But when the white lady came up there dressed like a fucking meatloaf, it's just Lady Gaga doing shit. That ain't right.
Nothing wrong with that nigga. He just went to go troll the walls.

Speaker 1 There's nothing wrong with him. He went to go troll, fuck you niggas.
I'm here. I'm Kanye West and I'm going to leave.
I got my naked white girlfriend here.

Speaker 1 We're going to do what we want with Lady Gaga.

Speaker 1 There's a little bit of a difference.

Speaker 1 Well, first of all, the white people thought, and still think to this day, that Lady Gaga is a little off. Yeah,

Speaker 1 but they didn't treat it like that. Treat it like what? They didn't treat it like how my man's saying it.
They ain't, oh, she's going to something wrong with her.

Speaker 1 They're just like, oh, that's Lady Gaga doing what Lady Gaga does. Lady Gaga is also an artist and a celebrity and a creative.
Kanye West is also an artist.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about Bianca Sensori. I'm not talking about Kanye.

Speaker 1 But you said that got you.

Speaker 2 So basically, she's his prop is what you're saying. So

Speaker 1 whatever his creative thought is,

Speaker 1 she's and that's the problem for me.

Speaker 1 I don't understand. She looked like Amber.
She was his prop. Like, that's what he does.

Speaker 1 And was his prop. She's a voluntary prop.

Speaker 1 I mean, as long as she's being used to manipulate it, I'm just saying, I don't like looking at it. I'm just, I'm not, again, I'm not blaming, I'm not making a judgment on Kanye for Kanye's doing it.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying I don't like it. Bro, Kanye's an attention seeker.
He knows

Speaker 1 when I hit this carpet, what can I do to make everybody say, oh, shit, Kanye?

Speaker 2 So why doesn't he just come naked?

Speaker 1 I've been talking for years.

Speaker 2 Why doesn't he just come fucking naked?

Speaker 1 Because I don't have to. Look at her.
Exactly. Look at how he's going to.
I always have a hurt. Nobody wants to see it.
Yeah, we'd rather see you. That's what she's there for.

Speaker 1 And Kanye's been attention-seeking since day one. It's getting gross.
Every girl that I've had, I bring them up here.

Speaker 1 Amber, look at her. We're going to go up here with the henny bottle, all of this.
So you look at her.

Speaker 1 Kim, you're looking at her. I'm making, this is my, I'm an artist, and this is my quote-unquote art.
I want y'all to look at. Also,

Speaker 1 this is the it place to be in the music business right now. So who's who is here? Yes.
I have to find a way that my name is to talk while all of y'all are here.

Speaker 1 That's what he do.

Speaker 2 Well, if he showed up naked, then that would definitely get everybody talking rather than having her as a prop.

Speaker 1 We're talking about it right now when she showed up naked.

Speaker 2 Facts. Facts.
Didn't really want to.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 also, where's the lip readers? Because they had an exchange right before she turned around and took that fucking coat off.

Speaker 2 And I'm just trying to find out what they said because it did not look like she was like, okay, I'm about to do it.

Speaker 2 It looked like an exchange.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to tell you, you said you didn't want to. A couple of us, it was a nice titties she had.
So we was all right. We won't complain about it.

Speaker 2 Listen, I will give credit words to you.

Speaker 1 Titties weren't bad. They're fucking gorgeous.
The titties weren't bad. They are beautiful.

Speaker 1 They're nice. It's hard to not look at the titties.
They're right there. I'm about to say, that's kind of all that.
Yeah. No, even when my girl was like, oh, my God, where's her pussy lips?

Speaker 1 I didn't look.

Speaker 1 I did not look. Yeah, it looked like.
Pay attention to her personality. It looked like it was like.

Speaker 1 I don't want to see nobody's wife being paraded around like that. Like, that's not.
That's all I was saying. It's not my bag.
That's what I'm saying. That's yours.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I'm not lost as to why it's happening. Oh, I know why it's happening.
And he does have a project coming. He does.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it all tracks. Like I said, I'm not surprised by that.
Yo, you know how some niggas be cucks? Like, he could be a public cuck. He could be some shit where I want y'all looking at my brain.

Speaker 1 Could be a ballot. Y'all better go listen to Kanye West's lyrics talking about some college dropout.
If we didn't have a lot to get to, I would play all of these songs where he's telling you this.

Speaker 1 But he's telling us:

Speaker 1 first verse of Runaway, the whole Life of Pablo project. Oh, he his verse on Watch the Throne.

Speaker 1 They're all,

Speaker 1 hey, this is what I'm on.

Speaker 1 Sorry? Freakball. Listen to lyrics more.
Let's see. Back to these notes.
Cheryl Crowe, Kanye. Why was Billie Eilish dressed like that?

Speaker 1 I had the same note.

Speaker 1 I was trying to think of what she was dressed like, and I still can't figure it out.

Speaker 2 She was like a page boy or something.

Speaker 1 Sound like a male. She was hanging out at the skate park in 1996.
That's her bag, yo.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that is her bag.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she's always androgynously dressed.

Speaker 1 She got some titties and she don't want y'all looking at them. Hey, girl, that's what it is.
I don't want y'all to sexualize me. Biden is out.
All right?

Speaker 1 Hey, Trump. Hey, Trump.
Trump is in now. Hey, wear the girl clothes.

Speaker 1 You can't say that. Nut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. But I'm saying,

Speaker 1 get dressed like you fucking nominated for Album of the Year.

Speaker 2 Or or that she's Billy fucking Eilish and I'll show up how the fuck I want and I've won these awards before dressed like this

Speaker 1 wait wait that's my that was when Biden was in

Speaker 1 She is fire. I mean, just.
What would you have her wear? I'm not a stylist. I'm saying, just what? Don't drive him.
He just said,

Speaker 1 Trump's in office, dressed like a girl. That's what he said.

Speaker 1 That's what he said.

Speaker 1 That was a joke, Melissa Ford. Oh, God.

Speaker 1 That's what he just said. Yes, it was a joke.
The person that made the joke is telling you the joke. You're about to piss me off.
Not even 30 minutes into this. I see what you're on.

Speaker 1 Stop it.

Speaker 1 Jesus.

Speaker 1 No, I would like her to dress like she was nominated for album of the fucking year, whatever that is. Damn, though, yeah.
She had

Speaker 1 to be in that first year. She had that skateboard P shit on.
That's a skateboard P. I'm not over.

Speaker 1 That for real.

Speaker 1 She had skateboard P on.

Speaker 1 She was a supple.

Speaker 1 Jeko-Yo. Then I tried to turn the TV all the way up to hear what her brother was giving on the mic next to her with the little guitar.
I didn't hear none of them little background vocals.

Speaker 1 You know, far and afraid.

Speaker 1 He was the lowest background BOGO I heard the whole night. But shouted up.
Shout out to Billie Island. She looked great and all that skateboard peace shit she had on.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 Hey, and what the fuck are you wearing

Speaker 1 about Jaden Smith? Yeah, because I didn't even write him down. I did not even write that down.

Speaker 2 Does anybody know what the castle on his head was supposed to or hat

Speaker 1 house? What it was supposed to represent? They told me he was a house nigga. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's funny. That's what they said.
I don't know. He was a house nigga.
Wait, is that what was happening? That's not all. This thing is crazy.
I said, Twitter. I didn't jump on the street.
I stopped.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 they said that. Stop it, Freeze.
They kept, it was like, yo, you don't get it. He's a house nigga.
Oh, okay. It was a few stylists that should be fired.
Jaden Smiths is one of them.

Speaker 1 He did that himself. But we give Grace

Speaker 1 because he grew up with fucking August Alcina and him. Who knows what he's seen? Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 We got to just assume Jaden Smith to be a little

Speaker 1 different

Speaker 1 than if it's other kids. If your best friend takes down your mom, I'm about to say

Speaker 1 that don't fuck you up psychologically.

Speaker 2 But on the flip side, Willow looked fantastic on that carpet. She did.

Speaker 1 She this year.

Speaker 1 I believe it, though. She looked beautiful.
She had a great album last year.

Speaker 1 I want to know if they had the same room growing up.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. You don't know how many other rooms was the dungeon.
You don't know. You don't know what

Speaker 1 that nigga got enough money to get 15 done 15.

Speaker 1 They don't have y'all. Pan their old pool houses and shit.
No, they was Jada's dungeons.

Speaker 1 That nigga. All right.
Moving on. Move that.
I'm back. Ice.
Back to the notes. Back to the notes.

Speaker 1 Look at this. A white lady tap dancing.
Oh.

Speaker 1 I was bucking that night.

Speaker 1 Who is that? Sabrina Carpenter. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I love Sabrina Carpenter, though. She killed it.
All right, so go ahead and do that first.

Speaker 1 Get him off. Go ahead.

Speaker 1 You don't. No.
Go ahead and do that.

Speaker 1 I'm just a salute to her. She won.
What a word did she win, best stuff? No, you don't even know. I love her.
Best pop.

Speaker 1 Something. A white.
She won the big pop. She won a big pop.

Speaker 1 The big pops award.

Speaker 1 For a very good album. For a very good album.
A great album, actually. I listen to it.
Sabrina Carl. You heard espresso, though.
You knew like the big hits.

Speaker 1 I mean, this is a fifth album. And she kind of, she was a, y'all don't know, she was in.

Speaker 1 Girl Meets World. She was like a Disney kind of star that actually, like Hannah, more than Hannah Montana, I would say, actually became an actual legitimate musician.
And she made a great album.

Speaker 1 And she's a legit pop star. And I think she's got a big future.

Speaker 1 Hannah Montana is Miley Cyrus, right? Yeah. As I said, she's the same trajectory in terms of going from like

Speaker 1 being like a TV kid to get a little bit of a shit. It gets confusing because they don't really change the white pop star prototype.
Right. She's just a lot more tough.
They all kind of rehash

Speaker 1 each other. Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 1 I like Miley Cyrus, but I'm saying Sabrina is much better at making pop records and making pop hits. Listen to the album.
Just listen to the album. I will, but Miley's got bad bad hits.

Speaker 1 Miley, I'm not questioning her hit making ability. I don't like the albums.
Some pop albums are just like hit machines, and she's Hannah Montana, so you're going to sell records.

Speaker 1 I'm saying Sabrina Carpenter, she never was on TV and you just put that album on, I think you would like it. Okay.
Sabrina Carpenter is dope. Like a lot of

Speaker 1 the great white hypes, like the ones that sell all the records, that they got all the stocking at the labels, they are dope and talented. So my note here is not to say anything disparaging about her.

Speaker 1 This is the white pop acts as a whole.

Speaker 1 When you finish with your amazing vocals and the amazing backdrop and the choreo and all that, and then it's the break in the song where you got to do something saucy for the audience.

Speaker 1 Don't do the kickball change. No.

Speaker 1 That was the stiffest tap dancing I ever seen out of a pop store. You got the audience trying to front for us.

Speaker 1 No, she's not.

Speaker 1 No, she was not. It was stiff.
That shit needed. What's the name of that oil you put on the door?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 Sabrina Carpenter to need us in WD-40, and she ain't the only white to do it. She had to turn up the swing of the NPC a little bit.
Yeah, but

Speaker 1 she killed. She killed.

Speaker 1 She won best pop vocal.

Speaker 1 Wait till y'all see Gregory Hines.

Speaker 1 Savior.

Speaker 1 When y'all get a loaded up, oh my God.

Speaker 1 She won best pop solo performance and best pop vocal album. Yeah, album.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Serena. All right.
Shout out to the white lady tap dancer. Go ahead, Sabrina.
We sell out sometimes, nigga. Let's see.

Speaker 1 Doshi wins.

Speaker 1 Doshi wins.

Speaker 1 Get this Cardi lady out the way. Yes, Cardi, this is what a woman rapping.

Speaker 1 Yo, I was bugging out.

Speaker 1 Coach Cardi trying to stand there. Ah, girl.

Speaker 1 Make room for a girl that raps still.

Speaker 1 oh i don't care if y'all not comfortable i wrote notes

Speaker 1 we see so cardi and it made sense for cardi to introduce her because only three women and yada yada yada i was super happy for doshi saying absolutely i loved her speech

Speaker 2 speech was crazy their speech was great the same reaction that you had to chris brown same reaction i had to dochi winning because that was a loaded fucking category with heavy weights it was and she was the only woman nominated i was so happy for her like so happy and it well deserved it.

Speaker 1 She deserved it too. For sure.
And there's a lot of talk out there about who deserved their award and who didn't. I'm not here to do that.

Speaker 1 Everybody that won, that was probably one of the greatest nights of their lives.

Speaker 1 I'm not here to try to reign on that parade at all. One.

Speaker 1 Doshi did the work. If you watch these artists, I say it every year, Grammy time.
If you watch them during the year,

Speaker 1 you could see who's doing the Grammy prep work. That's true.

Speaker 1 Doshi's been on every stage, in front of every interview. She's been, she's been.
And she's killing the interview. She's dominating.
She's done it correctly. She's killing the interview.
Tiny Death.

Speaker 1 And everything she's done. And her album was absolutely fire.
If it gets to the music, you have a hard time picking any one of those albums as head and shoulders greater than hers.

Speaker 1 I don't see that.

Speaker 1 I don't see that. Congratulations to Doshi.

Speaker 1 And in hindsight, now that you see how the night went.

Speaker 1 To the people that are saying she didn't deserve whatever. Hey, let's pretend you're right.

Speaker 1 Once you see how the night went. the right ones there.

Speaker 1 Right there.

Speaker 1 They let you know.

Speaker 1 They let you know.

Speaker 1 This is a game about leverage, who you know, who you work with, who backs you.

Speaker 1 Once you've seen Kendrick doing the rack up, you could have heard the phone call in your head between TDE and the Grammy board.

Speaker 1 We skipped it because it's going to be a whole thing, but the rackup started early. That started at 1 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time. Sure did.

Speaker 1 Actually, let's rewind a little bit because this was a giveaway for me, too.

Speaker 1 They showed Lucien

Speaker 1 a lot and early, more than I was used to.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can't say that I've seen a Grammys

Speaker 1 where he was highlighted the way he was at the table in the opening.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And all throughout.
I mean, I saw him giving Dr. Dre a high five.
Yeah. Oh, slow down.

Speaker 1 Slow down. We're going to get to that later.

Speaker 1 We're getting to the high five. But yeah,

Speaker 1 that was a sign of things to come. Let's see what else we got here.
Doshi wins. Congratulations to her.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 should Cardi be scared of what that symbolizes?

Speaker 1 That's what I wrote here. I don't think so.
No.

Speaker 1 Yes, for sure. 100%.

Speaker 1 Doshi winning is why it's hard for some people to catch a hit right now with whatever your old formula was. It is symbolic of

Speaker 1 the year that we've had in hip-hop.

Speaker 1 with like rappers rapping and dropping, certain trends that were in a few years ago not being all the way in now, though she winning and them making sure she won symbolizes a turn, a change of things to come.

Speaker 1 I agree with you when I put on my optimist glasses, but I do think there is a separation between

Speaker 1 awards and critical response versus commercial response. A thousand percent.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure that Cardi or her people give a fuck if she wins a Grammy, if she sells a bazillion fucking singles. which I think she will.

Speaker 1 Not just that, like, it's like saying Kill a Mike won last year,

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 That didn't spearhead where hip-hop really went this year.

Speaker 1 I just think that some of the heavy-hitter commercial people

Speaker 1 didn't drop the heavy-hitter commercial.

Speaker 1 They didn't drop. See, I'm not talking about them.
I'm talking about all the people that rap and are typically overshadowed by all the commercial monsters. The monsters didn't come out.

Speaker 1 That's what I was trying to say.

Speaker 1 But that's kind of my point, too. Like, the music business still has to run when your A-level acts don't drop.
True.

Speaker 1 So now the B-level or C-level, no disrespect to nobody calling them B or C, but now they get the opportunity to get some shine in the middle of the middle. It's all about

Speaker 1 labor priority, not talent. Talent or skill.
Not talent.

Speaker 2 But then also think about what happened this year. A lot of this year was taken up with Kendrick and Drake.
Who the fuck wanted to drop in the middle of all that?

Speaker 1 Shit, me a ring is dude.

Speaker 1 Or if I'm a heavy hitter, I don't give a fuck what they do. I gotta call Ghazi and get this Empire shit done.
He's fucking crazy. The first came fast as hell for February.

Speaker 1 New Year's was the other day. Some bullshit.
That shit happened fast. That shit happened fast.

Speaker 1 All right, we'll take a quick break because it's my favorite part of the show. Prize picks.

Speaker 1 All right, the big game is almost here, and it is now or never.

Speaker 1 Don't miss out on the last football game of the season with PrizePicks, the best place to win real cash money while watching the big game. PrizePicks is also giving away a free pick for the big game.

Speaker 1 Give me Saquon Barkley for more than 100 rushing yards. Uh-huh.
Safe bet. Give me Jalen Hurts for a rushing tud.
Yes. I'm taking it.
Tush push. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And good luck to all participants out there. Run your game.
Big prize picks, big prize picks, big prize picks. All right, back to the Grammys.
Yep.

Speaker 1 One thing we would talk about with Doshi winning, because she did win Rap Album of the Year. Big Doshi, friend of the show.
Absolutely. And y'all were saying how

Speaker 1 you think her winning could kind of

Speaker 1 shift the hip-hop or something?

Speaker 1 I don't think so. Nah.

Speaker 1 And I say that because I'm looking here.

Speaker 1 Once they changed the eligibility and Chance won that award in 2017,

Speaker 1 the rap album of the year category has had a lot of obscure, not really commercial.

Speaker 1 You know, the winners,

Speaker 1 Chance won 2017. Now, granted, Damn won 2018.

Speaker 1 Cardi B 2019, but Tyler for Igor was 2020. Nas and Hitboy King's Disease was 2021.

Speaker 1 Tyler, Call Me If You Get Lost was 2022. So it's like it's not the super commercial album.

Speaker 1 Although Tyler and it's commercial albums.

Speaker 1 Okay, but now look at who he was, look at the even the nominees already.

Speaker 1 Nas and

Speaker 1 Nas was the IOU.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Good point.
It was.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, I think this is a great point.

Speaker 1 Even the nominees, like, you know, we had J-Leck, Royce the 5-9, Freddie Gibbs. No disrespect to anybody, but these are not your big commercial acts.
True.

Speaker 1 You're nominated in the Grammy category for best rap album. Right.
So

Speaker 1 I don't think that changes anything. I wrote here in the notes that Grammy Knight is.

Speaker 1 Every artist talks with their team night more so than any other night in music. I don't know why I wrote that.
It's probably off of the doshi win.

Speaker 1 But that was just good to think about for me. Like as you watch these awards and you're an act,

Speaker 1 you're going to call your label, your team, your publicist, your somebody with a new thought, with a new idea, with some things that we could do differently to succeed differently or be recognized differently.

Speaker 1 Like a lot of talks was happening that night. For sure.
Especially with watching what was going on.

Speaker 1 I think the next segment was the new artist segment, right? No, not yet. Okay.

Speaker 1 Next, I have this red-haired white lady is the stiffest, is the stiffest choreo moving, and they cannot hide it with these dancing clowns that they got.

Speaker 2 Oh, he's talking about Chappellerone and Pretty Pink Pony.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 2 Pink Pony Pussy. I don't know, some shit.
Again,

Speaker 1 bring out the WD oil. Pink Pony Club.

Speaker 2 Pink Pony Club, thank you.

Speaker 1 They tried to mask it with the clowns doing the mean type shit, but that girl cannot move a lick at all. She can't move a lick.
Sounded great.

Speaker 1 Sounded great. It's just white people's movements.

Speaker 1 They just ain't got it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but they keep trying to have it and they isolate like the words drop from the beat and then they get to move it. And it highlights.
Yeah, because they dancing to the words, nigga.

Speaker 1 That's easy about it. They not ain't no beat, but they ain't dancing to the words.

Speaker 1 She don't. She don't.
You ain't got no beat.

Speaker 1 You could go now. She don't need to do that again.

Speaker 1 And I know I'm right, because as soon as that lady got off the stage, they panned to Money Long's face, which is my favorite thing in the music business now.

Speaker 1 That's my favorite thing. Cameras panning to Money Long's face.
Money Long is thinking whatever I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 She looked like... What's a fucker? What's the fuck up? You fucking kidding me.

Speaker 1 Fucking bitch up here.

Speaker 1 Like, you gotta be. She ain't even giving him a slow clap.
Shout out to Money Long. Another friend of the show, for sure.
Uh-huh. We have some Grammy winners up here.

Speaker 1 Let's see here. What do I have here? Taylor Swift looks great and is thick now.
In parentheses, I have Taylor Swift is mother white.

Speaker 1 And what is the opposite of Ozimpic?

Speaker 1 Because she's on it. Okay.

Speaker 1 We can't wait. Wait, hold on.
What is Mother White?

Speaker 1 Hold up, hold on. I'm going to step on his joke.
Don't step on his joke. You know, that's his bag.

Speaker 1 He's on it.

Speaker 1 What are you on?

Speaker 2 No, no, it's not grit. It's not grits.
It's cream of wheat.

Speaker 1 That's the white version. Serena, some porridge.
There we go.

Speaker 1 Porridge. Porridge.
She made Ice Spice lose it so she could gain it, son. It's violent ice spice.
That's what she did.

Speaker 1 She borrowed it. Yo, good point.
Can we put an APB out on Ice Spice?

Speaker 1 Where is I Spice? Can we have all our people go surveil the Bronx and find this young lady that they tried to stuff in our face?

Speaker 1 And I'm only bringing it up because don't go away when your ops win all awards she was talking slick about doshi really what yes no y'all just nodding the no it's fine it's all right

Speaker 1 she was talking slick about doshi and how this special treatment uh and just because you uh just because you ugly don't mean that you rap nice whatever the fuck she was saying yeah wow yeah how about the fact that doshi's just wildly fucking talented and she's not ugly

Speaker 1 that goes without saying she's fucking beautiful later we'll get in there she tore that little Tom Brown suit off. Didn't she? She tore that Joanelle Monet outfit off and

Speaker 1 tooted some ass around me.

Speaker 1 Definitely did. Hey, hey, y'all want.
She's skinny though. Y'all want the rapper girls to be sexualized? I'll give you some of that, too.
She got everything in her bag. She does.
She does.

Speaker 1 She's wonderful. She's in great shape.
She is. She's a wonderful woman.
Great shape.

Speaker 1 Great-looking woman. Fucking great rapper.

Speaker 1 seeing that episode. It's a lot of my mans in January.
I just want to let you know so you won't be surprised about it now.

Speaker 1 It's about 30

Speaker 1 months right now.

Speaker 1 All right. No, Taylor Swift looks good.
She does. She did.
Her legs was fucking. I like that little.
It was a leg.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that little. And the red.
The red.

Speaker 2 And that's a nod to her boot.

Speaker 1 The red on that nice white pale skin. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Monochromic. And monochromatic.
She wasn't wasn't as...

Speaker 2 Boy. But she had that little leg jewelry on, too.

Speaker 1 That shit was sexy. That was sexy.
Okay, Daylight. She looked like she took all the money from the label this year

Speaker 1 and last year. And the year for last year.

Speaker 1 You know, Kelsey got a little bit of

Speaker 1 swag rub off on him. He might have helped out.
Looking at her that night, I understand. Might have been.
He might have helped out. I understand.
Might have helped out.

Speaker 1 I'm leaving the opinionated black girl for this billionaire white girl, maybe.

Speaker 1 What is wrong with saying that?

Speaker 1 Why can't you say that? What opinionated black girl? The last girl.

Speaker 1 You got it, fair. She put the three parts in his eyebrows.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you.

Speaker 1 All righty.

Speaker 1 What do we have here? What do we have here?

Speaker 1 Beyonce, surprised. I was not expecting this face needs help.
It does. A few giveaways to you about to win this award, like A, your presence.

Speaker 1 In the front row.

Speaker 1 And they walked to you.

Speaker 1 She's Beyonce, so she's always going to be in the front row.

Speaker 1 B, the way that your bodyguard stands up.

Speaker 1 Like, everybody in this room is somebody.

Speaker 1 Everybody at these tables is somebody.

Speaker 1 Your bodyguard stands up like you still the only celebrity in the room, which we fuck with him for. I think his name is Julian.
I don't remember. It's Julian.
I think it's Julian.

Speaker 1 He's been a longtime bodyguard. His face always gives it away.

Speaker 1 Let's see. Hove's presence gives it away.
In case y'all didn't know. Hove speech last year, two years ago, whatever that was.
Last year.

Speaker 1 Last year gave the speech. Even that was great, right? It just shows you how far ahead you need to be.
Like, you need to be a year out if you

Speaker 1 planning to get this thing. I ain't get that.
I got, yo, I'm flexing my muscle like y'all have been doing for decades. Y'all want me and my wife here next year? Make it right.
See to that. It's both.

Speaker 1 It's both. Yeah.
Like, it was on some y'all fleck. I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 That's part of the

Speaker 1 process. Got you.
Oh, wait. And so was Taylor presenting this award.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Of course.

Speaker 1 Dog, I didn't seen them do the country war, a country award a bunch, and it wasn't so glamorous. Yeah, it wasn't Taylor.
It wasn't so glamorous.

Speaker 1 Taylor up there in a red dress, red pumps, looking with some long legs. God.

Speaker 1 But she said,

Speaker 1 Taylor looked good.

Speaker 1 Taylor hurtiness. She

Speaker 1 Taylor, man. Your man on her.
No, this was my first time seeing. Listen, the thick whites, I might have a weakness for a little bit.

Speaker 1 The skinny whites, not so much. Now that she's a thick white, she's in the mix.
She looked all right, bro.

Speaker 1 She did look all right. But her presenting the country award

Speaker 1 is telling you,

Speaker 1 hey, this is a thing here. Yeah, it's a nod probably to the Kanye shit from years ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Which she mentioned.

Speaker 1 Many years ago, I was on this very stage.

Speaker 1 She didn't get into the Kanye shit, but you know what she was referring to.

Speaker 1 What did y'all think about Beyonce winning the Country Award?

Speaker 1 Her speech, her, everything. What did y'all think? think how'd y'all feel congratulations to her

Speaker 1 country the country award they're pissed off whites

Speaker 1 one of the girls faces was like this

Speaker 1 one of the nominees yeah laney something

Speaker 1 casey musky musk girl okay laney's fire but the fire the the uh musk musk rat girl she was sitting there like this

Speaker 1 like this is some bullshit like This is our one category. This is political bullshit.
It's political bullshit. I don't know who the fuck Casey Musk is.

Speaker 1 I know when they said Chris Stapleton name, I thought. I doubt the year.
Yeah, she did. I got a little word.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, wait a minute. Let's do nomination.

Speaker 1 When they said Chris Stapleton's name, I was like, oh, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 Laney's the one. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I ain't never agreed with that. I heard Chris Stapleton.
I'm on Chris Stapleton. Oh, wait a minute.
Laney might be fired. Cool.
Awesome for her. When they said Chris Stapleton, I was like, whoop.

Speaker 1 Project.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Hold on, y'all. Slow down.
Nah, he ain't the one. He don't play.

Speaker 1 But she won, was happy for her. She looked great.

Speaker 1 She did. All right, here we go.
ISO out for a little bit. New artist segment.

Speaker 1 They got Trevor Noah standing there around the fancy round tables, fresh from a commercial break.

Speaker 1 They got the spotlights on the new artists. Star with Shabuzi's my man looking good up there.
I got it in my notes.

Speaker 1 Shabuzi look fire with the little country outfit, the country tie, killing that shit. He moved over.
Teddy Swims up there looking good, huh? Big Teddy Swims, friend of the show.

Speaker 1 Friend of the show, I love Teddy Swims. Had him a hell of a year.
And that was also telling, right? Like the new artist segment to me was one of the best performance segments of the entire night.

Speaker 1 This is my favorite part of the Grammys this year. Yeah.
Even just them highlighting them in this way, they don't usually do that. They put one or two of them up there.
It's never like this.

Speaker 1 No, they weren't. But this crop was extremely talented.
It was. A lot of them weren't particularly new artists, but that's a different conversation.
And had great years.

Speaker 1 So they gave me a little shabuzzie. Trevor Null stood there by the table.
Moved over, stood by Teddy Swim's table. Moved over, stood by some other new actor.

Speaker 2 Benson Boon.

Speaker 1 Don't step on my ice. I just said ice.
Don't step on my shit. Mute up.
Mute up. Go to Starbucks.

Speaker 1 Went and stood by some other fucking new artist.

Speaker 1 Table spotlight. I assumed it was a slap in there.
Then they moved over to a whole nother table.

Speaker 1 And I seen what I thought at the time was, oh, look at these beautiful white hedge fund people.

Speaker 1 That was the Nikki Glazer, Heidi Clone table. But I didn't know that.
I don't know them unless you tell me that that's them.

Speaker 1 I just saw a table of beautiful porcelain whites.

Speaker 1 See, white people, when they got somebody that they want to put out there, they gonna make sure

Speaker 1 that they fucking beautiful. I said, oh shit, look at this.
They must be funding this shit.

Speaker 1 And motherfucking Benson, boom,

Speaker 1 stood up, pulled a mic out his fucking tuxedo jacket. I said, holy shit,

Speaker 1 the hedge fund nigga

Speaker 1 is about to perform. Know this before, I don't know who he is.
Me neither. I don't know his song.
Me either.

Speaker 1 I know he stood up from the beautiful white hedge fund table, pulled a mic out his tuxedo inside coat like this.

Speaker 1 And start singing some shit I never heard. I said, oh shit, Tom Selleck got bars.

Speaker 1 Who the

Speaker 1 because the whites got to spend a lot of years going to find the new superstar that's going to take over. They went and found some 007 looking nigga.

Speaker 1 This nigga was up there like fucking Tom Cruise himself. He starts thinking some shit.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, shit. The white boy got a blank.

Speaker 1 I said, y'all better stop playing.

Speaker 1 Hey, y'all better stop playing with Benson Boon, whoever the fuck this great white hype is.

Speaker 1 Then he continues. They took his little outfit off.

Speaker 1 Oh, the shit.

Speaker 1 Tear away.

Speaker 1 Wait, they took

Speaker 1 a really dope. They had to break away Tom to stay.

Speaker 1 When white people take their shit off and got a sequence Carolina blue outfit on underneath, boy, you in trouble. You in trouble.
You in trouble.

Speaker 1 Then he's walked to the stage in that little tight-ass outfit. He might have done backflips to that stage.
Slow down now. No, I ain't get to that part yet.
He was just singing.

Speaker 1 I said, boy, I ain't gonna lie. Hey.
That boy sound good. Hey, Tom Selig.

Speaker 1 Tom Selig is good, right?

Speaker 1 Then that nigga jumped on the piano. Oh, shit.
Did a front flip.

Speaker 1 I said, holy shit. Yo, who is this nigga? Oh, they found some nigga that's killing this shit.
Then he kept singing.

Speaker 1 He's killing that shit. And by then his slap is on.
I'm like, Das Benson, boom.

Speaker 1 Nigga, I heard this song in every Walgreens visit this year.

Speaker 1 I heard this song in every CVS, boy.

Speaker 1 This shit been everywhere you could hear it.

Speaker 1 This is, Tom Sellick got this in the top.

Speaker 1 As soon as I said that shit, that nigga hit a front somersault.

Speaker 1 He said,

Speaker 1 Cause while I'm watching him, when he took his outfit off, he got muscles.

Speaker 1 Like he's in shape. I'm thinking the whites done found some nigga from the Olympics

Speaker 1 and trained him to sing and made a star. Shut the fuck up.
I'm telling you what I thought. And gave him a slap.
I'm like, this little white boy is in shape in this little outfit.

Speaker 1 He's giving me Freddie Mercury.

Speaker 1 Like he's just Elton John. Yeah.
Nah,

Speaker 1 El can't do no backflip Freddy. Okay, Taylor.
Not with the backflip. I'm just talking about the outfit.

Speaker 1 I'm just talking about the outfit.

Speaker 2 Elton John used to wear onesies all the time.

Speaker 1 You want to take away and add people that you want to work with. Not Elton John, nigga.

Speaker 1 You want to be cool with Elon Johnson? What the fuck I'm talking about?

Speaker 1 The outfit, yes.

Speaker 1 I'm just talking about the outfit. Yo, Mark, man.

Speaker 1 You smell that Elon John shit bullshit. Elton John.
The outfit, yeah.

Speaker 1 Elton John used to come with the sequence. Elton John ain't had a muscle nowhere.
But he definitely had. I said, I never did a flip.
I said nothing.

Speaker 1 We never saw him stand up.

Speaker 1 We never saw Elton John. He got a stand up.
He stayed right now.

Speaker 1 But he never did a flip. I ain't my fault.
Anyway. I guess it's that.
No. That Benson Boone performance when he got done,

Speaker 1 standing up for me. It was really nice.

Speaker 2 And that song is really good. Beautiful things.

Speaker 1 It's got like five minutes. No, that's the song.

Speaker 1 It does sound like a fucking

Speaker 1 queen record.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He smoked that shit. He did.
So then I went and dug in my fucking, I pulled out the race card and was like, oh, of course they give this nigga nigga 30 minutes to fuck him up.

Speaker 1 He got to. They let him walk from the table, change clothes, do backflips, whatever.
He had a long time up there. But then they continued the new artist segment.

Speaker 1 Every one of them, every one of them, immensely talented.

Speaker 1 And I don't think we've seen a crop like that in recent years. All of them not only smoked it, but got the biggest song of the year.

Speaker 1 All of them.

Speaker 1 It's been a while. Yeah.
And they've never showcased it in this way more importantly to me. Because usually, like, when somebody, we don't want to win the new award, we're like, who the fuck is that?

Speaker 1 That part, but it's always better if you could actually watch them perform that night, like, like, like, well, Homeboy is like, oh, okay, now I see why. At least you see why he won.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he should be in there.

Speaker 2 This was where Dochi did her performance. So it was right after Benson.

Speaker 2 It was Dochi. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't want to be that person. What? You said they all have biggest songs of the year.

Speaker 1 Here you go. That Dochi record wasn't big like that.
Not like us is big. Nigga, shut up.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Not like us is big.
This is part A. Not like us is big.

Speaker 1 Not like us is big.

Speaker 1 So our artist is the.

Speaker 1 But then when Doshi comes out, oh my God,

Speaker 1 I was so elated to finally see blacks.

Speaker 1 So whatever y'all was doing online about how she shouldn't have been there, if you take her away,

Speaker 1 there's no blacks. You got y'all legend on the keyboard.

Speaker 1 Even the psychological

Speaker 1 mel, but as I'm watching all of the great

Speaker 1 talented whites that deserve the spotlight, I'm more so looking at who's at their table, who's on the guitar, who's on the drums, who's on the piano. A lot of sauceless drummers.

Speaker 1 Like a lot of sauceless background people hitting the little. Dope she came out, and that was the first time I saw a stage full of black people.
It was good to see. It was dope.
It was great.

Speaker 1 It was great. It was funny.

Speaker 1 I ain't even peeped at that. Then I felt like she might have had some type of Tom Brown endorsement.
She did. But that Tom Brown? The whole shit.
Everything was Tom. It was hidden.

Speaker 1 The whole thing was Tom. It was hidden.
You ain't supposed to put these backup dancers in Tom Brown. I was about to say the whole crew had the Tom on.
Yeah. And then she took it off.

Speaker 1 Don't let Benson Boom be the only way here.

Speaker 1 Fuck out of here, Benson Boom.

Speaker 1 Fuck out of here, Bissy Boom.

Speaker 1 She was booming. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, she was booming.
She looked absolutely marvelous. She danced a performance.
She smoked the performance. I think after that was Teddy Swims.

Speaker 1 Teddy Swims, I knew you wasn't about to change outfits or do a whole lot of dancing. Or snatch nothing off.
Yeah, killed him. No, he smoked it.
Standing in one place, spotlight, highlight my voice.

Speaker 1 He absolutely killed it. And another one, huge song.
Y'all know this record. Hey, sing along.
And then after that, with Shibuzi, who

Speaker 1 nothing to be said.

Speaker 1 Nothing to be said. Go Shabuzi, man.
Hey, Shibuzi, next time we install this, man, strip on me.

Speaker 1 Strip on me next time we install this, nigga. You did that.
Another girl, Ray,

Speaker 1 I wasn't really familiar with her. Oh, my Lord.
She wasn't crazy. Me either.
I didn't know. Yeah, that's not true.
She's probably one of the best performances of all time. She's so crazy.

Speaker 1 I got introduced to her because...

Speaker 1 With the Apple Vision shit, they have these immersive concerts. Okay.
So she's the highlighted person. I never heard of her, but you know, you just check shit out, yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's like a one-on-one concert where she's standing in front of you, singing to you, looking good. Like, yeah, she looks good.

Speaker 1 So, when I first saw her, I was like,

Speaker 1 okay, we're getting little Amy Winehouse, she's British, she's got the mole. You know, I was like, okay, Amy Winehouse-esque, but then her vocals, her voice was different.
She's smiling. Oh, my bad.

Speaker 1 She's like, no, no, I really, I really do this. The mic is on.

Speaker 1 There you go. Yeah, no, it's true.
Let me see here. And shout out DJ Miss Milan up there with Doshi.
Yeah, for sure. Let's go, Milan.

Speaker 1 Friend of me or friend of the show.

Speaker 1 Friend of us. Shout out to Milan.
Friend of us. Shout out to DJ Milan, man.
Let's see. This is the best segment thus far.
Yep.

Speaker 1 My cable cut off. That's what my cable cut off and my TV Wi-Fi just started acting crazy.

Speaker 2 So this was the best new artist category, right?

Speaker 1 The first need alone. Yeah, who should I call? Me.
I got you for the cable bill.

Speaker 1 I got you.

Speaker 1 Oh, I got you with a cable bill, you know what I mean? Because files are expensive, nigga. Might be $400.

Speaker 1 Might be $400. Files don't play.
Files ain't playing, nigga. Them niggas is.
What'd you say, Mel?

Speaker 2 I was asking, this is the best new artist category, correct?

Speaker 2 So Chapel Roan was in this category, and this is the award she won for. She won.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah. And then another great project.
And then she bodied the speech.

Speaker 2 The speech.

Speaker 1 Slow down, because that's my very next note. Okay, go for it.

Speaker 1 My very next note says, well, Victoria Monet looks great. That's what it says.
Shout out to Victoria Monet. She looked amazing.
She did.

Speaker 1 They are trying to shove this Chapel Roan Rome girl down my throat.

Speaker 1 Slash, hold up.

Speaker 1 Hold up. Hold up now.

Speaker 1 She's in my bag. It says, hold up.
She started spitting.

Speaker 1 She did.

Speaker 1 Bars. I'm a fan for life.
She got me. She's a bitch.
She tricked me. She got me.

Speaker 1 Just looking at her, you was like, eh?

Speaker 1 Well, no, it just was a lot. It was a lot of her.
And I'm not all the way familiar familiar with her or her story. At all.
So it just felt like a lot of her.

Speaker 1 But once she gave that speech, I didn't went and did my research. She's no new act.
Like, she's been around. She's not from here.

Speaker 1 She's been about fight to power, all that shit. So when she gave that, I never heard nothing like that at the award ceremony.
Same. I've never heard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't. I've never heard anything like that.
At the Grammys.

Speaker 1 I've never heard that at any awards. Man, some of the awards, but not no Grammys.
When do the artists that won get up there and

Speaker 1 talk to their struggle with health care in the past, how they almost weren't here, and then holds the labels accountable for us not having fucking health insurance and they're gonna end it with, hey, labels, we got y'all.

Speaker 1 Do y'all got us? Nigga, I almost shed a tear.

Speaker 1 I was right up your alley. What? I was right up your alley.
Nigga, Chapel Roan for life.

Speaker 1 This funny redhead makeup girl, I'm riding. Most of them niggas be too scared to piss somebody off doing it on that shit.
She's shit that's there.

Speaker 1 This new crop different. That's what it is.
She had that crop. shit.
That's written. Nigga, she pulled out the diary.
New crop different. She pulled the journal out, dog.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, here come these white bitches. Oh, this bullshit again.
I'd like to thank Stanley Smith, and I'd like to thank. Nah.

Speaker 1 Look, the fucking audience talking about something.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 there was at least a partial standing ovation for that.

Speaker 1 All the artists.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 Did the camera go over to Lucian at that point? He was like.

Speaker 1 Lucian was making a call and get this nigga off stage.

Speaker 1 Let's see.

Speaker 1 Quick question about

Speaker 1 how did and maybe Parks, you know the answer to this. I recall

Speaker 1 because it's an industry question. It's a specific release date and you know the details of it.
It's like I thought her album came out in 22. Like what is the cutoff for winning this award?

Speaker 1 Because it felt like her album came out a million years ago.

Speaker 1 It's usually with the year before. I don't know.
I thought it was a calendar year. But it's like month.
Is it a calendar year or is it like month to month? No, it's a month to month thing.

Speaker 1 I don't know the exact

Speaker 1 something like December to December. I could be wrong about that.
December to September, I forget. Because I swore her came out August of 22.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Or September 22. None of us know.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You might know. We don't know.
Okay.

Speaker 2 It says it came out in 2023.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. Look at you.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It says it came out September 22.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think September is 2022. And 26 in 2023.
And Mark, the dates, the Grammy eligibility dates are

Speaker 1 September 16th of 2023 to August 30th of 2024. So anything dropped in that line,

Speaker 1 that's what I'm trying to get. Okay,

Speaker 1 let's see here. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are dressed like the Porridge family.
And that was on purpose. And they're doing California Dreams.
They bodied it, but it was weird.

Speaker 2 Why?

Speaker 1 It was. They bodied it, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 Their whole get-up was a nod to the mamas and the papas.

Speaker 1 Stop it, yo. Bruno Mars need to get the fuck out of here and go sit down for a couple years.

Speaker 1 He is.

Speaker 1 He said it.

Speaker 2 He's at the fucking casino for a couple of years.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. He needs to move now.
He needs to go back over there to MGM Casino Records or wherever he signed to.

Speaker 2 He needs to stop now. You don't feel like this song was more in his bag than this fucking fat pussy song that he just put out with Sexy Red?

Speaker 1 I feel like if you're going to put out a fat pussy song with Sexy Red one week, don't come be in the Porridge family with California dreams the very next week. I really do.

Speaker 1 But they did it for the fire, man. I don't give a fuck when he did it.
That fire is not going to be the reason that everybody could do what they want if you lived in L.A.

Speaker 1 Because Because none of them there looked like, oh, my house is burnt. They ain't looked at worse.

Speaker 1 I was looking at them. They ain't looked that worse.
Them niggas bought houses.

Speaker 1 I was looking for the homeless people. Them niggas looked to the T.
This nigga's an idiot. They looked amazing.
They joined you. I'm not supposed to say that.
No, man. You fucking idiots.

Speaker 1 Homeless people in the crowd. Y'all wasn't looking for homeless people.
They showed me fire commercials for 45 minutes. Every other break was a fire commercial.

Speaker 1 Hey, y'all in the skybox, donate, donate, donate. And that fire segment was real sad.
It was very sad. It was like depressing.

Speaker 1 I was like, yo, why are they showing us like they had the red cams out there? If you don't go grab a fire hose,

Speaker 1 why did they have red cams out there? I felt like I was in the fire at my house. I went to turn the air on.

Speaker 1 I thought it was dope the way they did the local commercials. I don't know how

Speaker 1 it was. Local businesses.
The martial arts one when they showed the martial arts. The whole shit on fire.
That shit was dope. Yeah.
Yeah, that connected with you.

Speaker 1 Say, go, go, build some shit. No,

Speaker 1 he's a yellow belt.

Speaker 1 He's a yellow bell

Speaker 1 and a sports agent.

Speaker 1 He's everything. He's the pod's most interesting man.

Speaker 1 Let's see, let's see, let's see. Bruno Mars, yada, yada, yada.

Speaker 1 Grammy clap back to the weekend. Oh, shit.
The weekend.

Speaker 1 Take it away, Parks.

Speaker 1 I was excited for the weekend, Park, but then Playboy Cardi came out, and I was. No, that song is fire.
That song is fire. And he ain't on it that much.
He isn't.

Speaker 1 Why was he up there lip-syncing and not even holding?

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 we're going on tour starting in two months. It was weird.
He's another one that the 17-year-olds ain't going to try to convince me on.

Speaker 1 It's not for us them to convince us on.

Speaker 1 That nigga's God to them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah.

Speaker 1 They should find God.

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 1 It's different when it comes to them niggas, bro.

Speaker 1 They don't play. I'm not hating on him.
I'm not hating on who the young people elect as their person. I'm just glad that he didn't do a whole lot of vocals on this weekend track.

Speaker 1 What did we think about the Grammy dude coming out and saying, hey, y'all, we heard you.

Speaker 1 We got it right. Yeah, and I think they did.
I was about to say, the show showed that. My bad.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, I like the fact because they always be saying, we heard, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. But I saw it in action.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Also, that was a really nice suit that he had. It was.
Is he new?

Speaker 2 Like a new appointment?

Speaker 1 Last couple of years,

Speaker 1 ever since the white dude said that women got to try harder. Right.

Speaker 1 Right. That was crazy.
That was crazy. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So it looks like he put his money where his mouth is. He did.

Speaker 1 They emphasized it before every award. 13,000 members of the Grammy committee have chosen Beyonce, whatever the fuck the award was.

Speaker 1 It was evident. It was evident.
Yeah. And he said, like, the voting committee has gotten younger.
It's more employees. It's more diverse.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, that's going to reflect in a lot of shit.
And it did. That's why I'm not mad at a lot of what the people say, oh, it's because they didn't know, bro.
You got different people voting.

Speaker 1 That old guard is gone. So Mel Torme ain't going to win every year.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It just seemed like the people voting knew a little bit about music this year.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Like there wasn't as many curveballs or

Speaker 1 whitewashing. The shit they did to the voting process where you could only pick a certain amount of categories helped a lot as well.

Speaker 1 In addition to the diversity. But you shouldn't, if you're a country dude, you shouldn't be voting on hip-hop.
That's true. If you're a hip-hop dude, you shouldn't be voting on country.

Speaker 1 Let the people that know the shit vote on the shit. And I saw a lot of people complaining.
It's like, because we were, you know, championing certain things about the Grammys.

Speaker 1 And it's like, oh, so do y'all care or do y'all don't care? Because, you know, on one hand, we've been sitting here saying, we don't give a fuck about the Grammys because they never get it right.

Speaker 1 Well, this is how you actually make people care about the Grammys by getting shit right, by getting the right voting community.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, if they're doing it this way, I give a fuck about the Grammys again. Yeah.
Yes.

Speaker 1 We all watched. Yeah.
And it was great. I mean, my mom texted me like,

Speaker 1 mom has no business in music whatsoever doesn't really even she's a super her son's in it she got business that's true but so she watched like is it just me or is this the best grammys in a really long time yes i got a lot of those texts yeah especially from west coast yeah i'm really

Speaker 1 oh no i got a lot of other texts from west coast people was texting me away boy and then my dad texted me yo this shit don't got no soul in the water i was like yeah

Speaker 1 This was the best Grammys in a long time for me. It was.
They got a lot right. They did get a lot right.

Speaker 1 Let's see. And then the weekend comes out.
I absolutely loved his performance. I loved him, the mystique, the dark, the darkness, the scary arguments.
All of those scary. Yeah.
Yeah, I liked it.

Speaker 1 It was great. Great.
Shout out to the weekend. And, all right, so now we have the weekend there.
We got a Chris Brown win. Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 Jay-Z is here with Beyonce.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh, there's a lot of factors that worked against us that we kind of got right.

Speaker 1 We made it right. The people that we want to see are here.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 they got it right. Let's see.
J-Lo. Why is J-Lo speaking Spanish?

Speaker 1 I thought to say Spanish. We don't have to say anything.

Speaker 1 I wrote it down, but we don't have to talk about it.

Speaker 1 Mark, you want to answer why?

Speaker 1 Who's our J-Lo expert?

Speaker 1 I'm the dead man.

Speaker 1 Why was J-Lo up there speaking Spanish? I'm a J-Lo fan. I ain't the expert.

Speaker 1 Why did she do that? And where was Sterling Kay Brown?

Speaker 1 I told y'all.

Speaker 1 Sterling K. Brown call that shit out every time.
Oh, look, look at this bitch.

Speaker 1 Oh, she's from the Bronx again. No, they said some shit about

Speaker 1 she just did some shit and she was trying to speak Spanish and she was fucking up. Shakira was sitting at the table with her.
They said Shakira kept hitting her leg like a shut up, bitch. Shut up.

Speaker 1 Oh, yo, shut up, bitch. You fucking up.
J-Lo don't know no damn Spanish.

Speaker 1 Shakira still looks good, by the way.

Speaker 1 Looks good. That's understatement.
That's understatement.

Speaker 2 You're absolutely right. Under fucking statement.
50.

Speaker 1 48. 48.

Speaker 1 Monster.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 2 Not 50 yet.

Speaker 1 You're right.

Speaker 1 Okay. Is that the next note?

Speaker 2 Is that the next note on your fucking phone?

Speaker 1 Okay, then let's get to it.

Speaker 2 Shakira's performance.

Speaker 1 I mean, mute. I muted the G.

Speaker 1 I tweeted that thing up. Fire.
The song was fire, though. I don't know.

Speaker 1 The song is fired.

Speaker 2 I know you guys didn't hear it.

Speaker 1 Nope.

Speaker 2 You know, over your drooling, but. Oh, she sings?

Speaker 1 Yes, she does. She does.
She does.

Speaker 1 Congratulations Shakira. It was looking nice.
She got a little.

Speaker 1 Nigga, I was there when

Speaker 1 she was there when she first came. That motherfucker started.
What? But you had hips.

Speaker 1 Hips don't lie.

Speaker 1 Are you done with our nod to 48-year-olds who still look good? Go ahead.

Speaker 1 A sneeze away from 50. Yeah, I know certain topics.

Speaker 1 Close to you.

Speaker 1 Let's see here.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 I was done with that. Kendrick Clean Sweep.
Sweet.

Speaker 1 Sweeping. Let's get to it.
Yo, if you tie to our Grammy talk, hit the little 15-second forward skip button.

Speaker 1 Sorry, buddy. Just fast forward to two hours.
Hey, yo, McCorey, pass that to my man, yo.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, come on. Let's get to it.
Let's get to it. Get it.

Speaker 1 What you got? The first three were in the early show. Early show.

Speaker 1 Those were funny to me. Clean sweep.

Speaker 1 I was brooms out. Wow.
The first.

Speaker 1 As big as that record was, they don't usually favor fucking battle rap or diss records or really even lyricals. That wasn't that.
That wasn't that segment. That was still a commercial season.

Speaker 1 Man, that shit's number one record. It was impactful, y'all.
Real quick,

Speaker 1 there was a segment that stood out to me when he won the award how they played.

Speaker 1 They actually played the lyrics at the clip. They sure did.
That shit fucked me up. I was like, hey, somebody y'all singing along.

Speaker 1 Y'all say dancing. Taylor, singing.
Lou Avi dancing. Taylor dancing.
I'm like, wait, what the fuck are you doing? And the whole stadium singing D minor. Yeah, now I'm seeing it for real.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's very different from the pop-out show and fans singing the words. It's different from internet chatter.
Extremely different. This is now music, industry, everybody

Speaker 1 singing along to everybody, singing along to

Speaker 1 this. And they didn't play the hook.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was the very first thing that popped out to me is that they never played the not like us hook. And Kendrick is so, Kendrick, you you gotta knock it off, nigga.

Speaker 1 I see you trying to hug extra people so you can land at the podium at the A minor. That nigga hugging people he don't even know.

Speaker 1 You're just a security guard. Yeah, like he's trying to, he paced it out a little bit.
What y'all think of his fit?

Speaker 2 The Canadian tuxedo?

Speaker 1 I love it. Chefskiss.

Speaker 1 Tell us about it, Canadian.

Speaker 2 Chefskiss. I mean, there was a lot of debate because a lot of people don't know what a Canadian tuxedo is, but it's basically.

Speaker 1 No, Canadians don't know because y'all thought y'all was fly. I've seen a lot of Canadians.
I've seen a lot of Canadians.

Speaker 1 That's an American cage. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's what we think of y'all.

Speaker 2 I don't know who made it up, but it's accurate. So it's Gene on Gene.
So people obviously thought that that was a nod to,

Speaker 2 you know.

Speaker 1 I thought it was hilarious from the pre-game when John Lennon's son came up and.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was wild.

Speaker 1 John Lennon invented the dissatisfaction. That's that's John Lennon invented the diss track.
He was giving Palmer Curtain bars like the imagined album. That part.

Speaker 1 It just

Speaker 1 UMG showed that we're not backing down. That's what I took from that.
We're not backing down. We're going to play it.
It's going to play at the Super Bowl. They played at the Grammys.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be at the Super Bowl now. It's definitely going to be at the Super Bowl.
Now, like, seeing that like that, I said it's going to be

Speaker 1 cut the fucking record off at A minor. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, bleeped out. No, the whole audience said A minor in unison.
Yeah. But they bleeped out the bitch

Speaker 1 and to fuck him up. So this is the clean.
Then they let the P-word. Yeah.
They let the P-word. They let pedophile fly.
They let his name fly.

Speaker 1 It's y'all new kids that's making niggas say P-word and PDF. Nigga, it's a pedophile.

Speaker 1 At some point, that would get you flagged online.

Speaker 1 I guess Trump took the flag off. Yo, go outside and use the words that mean things.
But anyway, yeah.

Speaker 1 Ain't minded. That was telling.
That was telling. Canadian tuxedo, telling.
Great.

Speaker 1 The panning into Beyonce to step into this shit.

Speaker 1 nobody looked happier or more excited than Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 She had a champagne glass up in the air, singing along.

Speaker 1 Lucian looked a little happy. Lucian was real happy.
High five in this shit, they got a close up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but Lucien was happy. But if Taylor Swift is happy, you're going to assume that Lucian is happy.

Speaker 1 They're working in tandem. So Lucian is behind the scenes, so he could feel like, you know what I mean? I'm moving covertly, high-five, whatever.
The camera shouldn't be on me.

Speaker 1 Taylor Swift knows the camera is on me at all times. That was intentional.
And I'm showing y'all, this is my man, this is my record, and that should be horrifying for Homeboy.

Speaker 1 If I was Homeboy, I'd have gone to the hookah bar, too. And they're tied in, though, too.

Speaker 1 Who? Taylor and Kendrick. Her producer produced all of GNX.
Soundwave does shit for her. They got a smash record together.

Speaker 1 Nobody feels like it's like, all right, kicking the dog while he's down. Like, nobody feels that way.
Like, it's overkill now.

Speaker 1 To me, this shit is overkill. To me.

Speaker 1 In America. In my head, it's like, huh?

Speaker 1 How many people did you piss off? It's just overkill. It's like enough.
That's how I'm starting to feel. I'm starting to feel bad.
Before, it was like,

Speaker 1 it's a rap battle, but now I'm starting to feel bad because now it was. I don't feel bad.
Not at all. I don't feel bad, but I know that

Speaker 1 it's close. Like, I actually worry when I saw that whole stadium being, like you said, Beyonce Two Step, and everybody's saying amen.
I'm like, yo, dude, you might be able to

Speaker 1 do it.

Speaker 1 Listen, this record's ether and all them shits, and

Speaker 1 hit them up and all that. Them shits weren't quite the same level of boppiness.
This is the most awarded rap song in the history. Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 So now it's on a bigger scale and now it's having more eyes and now it makes you feel like it's overkill because so many people are involved. To me.

Speaker 1 I think for people beating it down.

Speaker 1 The choir got to sing at the funeral. I think that the problem is that the song is

Speaker 1 bop. If this was euphoria, then I would feel like you feel.
But this song was a bop, and that was the problem. It should happen in May, a fucking bop.
It happened last year in May.

Speaker 1 Nigga, we in January. Super Bowl is around the corner.
How long was in the club with Bop, though? I mean, if Vassong is a big shot,

Speaker 1 no, no, I'm just saying, if a song, I'm taking, take the diss off. I'm just saying, if a song is a smash.
You can't take it. The song is a smash, but it's at somebody else's detriment.

Speaker 1 Gotta be careful who you put. So what?

Speaker 1 I don't care.

Speaker 1 He asked for it.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about. You need a button for that.
If you take a kid, we're taking it further, yo. I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 No, I'm with you. He's done that totally.
But it's overkill. That was his shit.

Speaker 1 He got beat with his own move.

Speaker 1 I'm going to kiss you and make it a club bop. Okay, well, guess what? I'm going to diss you.
I can do that.

Speaker 1 You're a commercial bop. You can't hold the industry on your back for so many years, and then now this happens like that.

Speaker 1 Where's the respect? No, but here's the other part of that. You hold the industry up, but you also treated a lot of people like shit.
True. A lot of people, people clearly hate you.

Speaker 2 So there's consequences.

Speaker 1 Exactly. If a whole stadium of insiders in the industry is

Speaker 1 minor, you done did some shit. That's why I'm

Speaker 1 in the middle. I got a lot of text messages from people saying, yo, real talk, he he had this coming.
That's what I'm. Me too.

Speaker 1 It doesn't change the humanitarian. It doesn't change the humanitarian in me.
It doesn't change. I'm a human, nigga.
Like, damn, I.

Speaker 1 You see niggas dancing, niggas, kids dancing. Yo, dogs.
Singing A minor. It's just like.
You said all of this. We said all of this.
But then what's happening?

Speaker 1 In terms of how long the record was number one, in terms of this looking like an orchestrated attack amongst

Speaker 1 everybody. Now, that just looked like what the not like us video should look like.
Saying it and seeing is two different things, Jojo.

Speaker 1 The music industry kind of dancing on your grave, singing along to this song, cheering, applauding this record. Like, that was, Drake did the right thing.

Speaker 1 Nigga, I'm in Australia taking fucking mirror pics, nigga.

Speaker 1 I'm going, I'm going to Australia to sing karaoke. I'm in person.
Are y'all shitting me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I would get low.

Speaker 1 The Lucy and Dre high five to me was like,

Speaker 1 like made me start doing science. Like it's like science is right there.
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 Science in terms of for me, what I mean is

Speaker 1 like when I was introduced to Dr. Dre,

Speaker 1 which is 90, 91.

Speaker 1 And it's 2025.

Speaker 1 This business is relationships.

Speaker 1 That means that Dre,

Speaker 1 since 91, has made all of these relationships. I don't know when he got to Interscope, but when he got there, he gave y'all Snoop.
Early 90s. Eminem.

Speaker 1 We're talking about hundreds of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. No, billions of millions of dollars.
Billions of dollars.

Speaker 1 I gave y'all Snoop. I gave y'all Eminem.
I gave y'all 50 Cent.

Speaker 1 I gave y'all me.

Speaker 1 Then I got with Jimmy Iveen and gave y'all headphones.

Speaker 1 My cache, if I'm calling somebody to say something,

Speaker 1 it's heard differently

Speaker 1 than the guy with all the slaps this decade. And that high five from Lucy and I was just thinking of their network.
Like, I know we talk a lot about the Illuminati, the imaginary, the cabal.

Speaker 1 That was it.

Speaker 1 Yes. So no matter how powerful you think the Drake slaps are,

Speaker 1 They were showing you. They were just showing you,

Speaker 1 this is not opinion-based anymore. They were showing you what it is, how we feel, and exactly who you're up against, and it's an uphill battle.
You can't win against me. You can't win.

Speaker 1 It's an uphill battle. I thought about all the people that have tried to win against that, against that farm.
They lost. You can't.
They all lost. I said that before.
What they did was had to leave.

Speaker 1 When we talk about getting a relationship shit, like, yo, dog, it's money, power, respect. People think that the power come with the money.
The power don't come with the money.

Speaker 1 The power come with the time and the relationships. And you, your son got caught DUI.
You just pick up the phone and be like, yo, make that go away.

Speaker 1 Because you know the judge or you play golf with the judge. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the power.
The power is in

Speaker 1 your network equity. That's the power.
So when we talked about the Kanye shit, he rose

Speaker 1 fast financially, but you ain't have 30 years worth of relationships and 27 years worth of power. And I was in the trenches with this nigga, in the trenches with that nigga, and I know they kids.

Speaker 1 You don't have that. And so that was so easy for him to get canceled.
I think some of that shit is being evidently shown with Drake.

Speaker 1 Then I thought about all of Drake's antagonizing of Kendrick to even drop anything. Yeah, I thought about that too.
It's going to go down is one of the worst mistakes ever made in hip-hop.

Speaker 1 Like y'all said earlier, really easy to ignore like that.

Speaker 1 Really easy to ignore. Or just keep it playful.
Yeah. No, don't say nothing to that nigga.
That nigga's coming in here to kill you and your entire family like a dayline episode. Leave him alone.

Speaker 1 Don't say nothing. Don't play with him.
Y'all dare you to drop. Ah, I've been waiting for years.
I've been hearing about this mythical record you got.

Speaker 1 You made that nigga go make a whole fresh new slap yeah you made that go get with mustard and make some posting the red button yeah i feel that's the part that made me feel bad for uh homeboy when you just think about some of the moves in hindsight that's because he believed

Speaker 1 again i think a lot of this drake really believed that he was one of them with leo with um well they made him believe they made him believe that yeah but you gotta understand

Speaker 1 you can feed you can feed somebody you can feed someone and give them access to all your resources and make them feel away. But at the end of the day, the people at top are the ones that's in control.

Speaker 1 It's like putting a... Yeah, he thought he was at top.
It's like on a hamster wheel.

Speaker 1 It's the music business, bro. It is the music business.
And then when you think about that in retrospect, it's like, I agree with you.

Speaker 1 And to be a student of the game, as he claimed to be, you've seen this happen to other people

Speaker 1 who thought.

Speaker 1 I could name one off the top that we all saw it happen to. Name him.
That thought he was bigger than the system. Name him.
50. No, he didn't.
He did think he was big. 50 wasn't Drake.
Huh?

Speaker 1 50 wasn't Drake. Wait, hold up.
Well, nobody's Drake. 50 wasn't Drake.

Speaker 1 He was Drake of that time. Nobody's Drake.
He was worldwide superstar of that time. He was.
It's a different game, of course. He was Drake pre-Drake.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but Drake is a lot bigger. 50 wasn't Drake.
It's a different evolution. He's the evolved version of that.
I'm just asking.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 he walked around believing that he was bigger than Inner Score. Nobody's Drake because Drake is in an international era.
But without anything, too strong.

Speaker 1 that's right right but he walked around believing that he was bigger than innocent scope for sure he did a scope he did that he could throw that weight around and then they had to remind him no you're not true same thing happened hold on hold on i'm i'm i'm speaking here same thing happened drake walked around believing that i am on the level of or bigger than this system here and they had to remind you that no you're not that's all i'm saying True.

Speaker 1 I'm saying that he didn't have a reason not to believe that.

Speaker 1 He's never seen nobody come before him that was him. 50 had two albums that were dominant

Speaker 1 two

Speaker 1 this nigga had

Speaker 1 two decades that were dominant

Speaker 1 hold on the niggas that was on tune was dominant at the time too

Speaker 1 i said two albums that were dominant was my was it was it sentence that i said i'm not talking just music it's my turn to talk yo this boy had two decades of holding the music industry on his fucking shoulders.

Speaker 1 He's not 50 cent. The point stands.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 Drake has never seen somebody come before him that was him. Not Jay-Z, not Eminem, not none of them have been him.

Speaker 1 So for him to say that,

Speaker 1 so for him to think that he's in a class all of his own, even though he's mistaken, he had a run.

Speaker 1 You don't think M had an impact like that? He never run like Drake. Not a run.
Just raw numbers. Impact to run Drake.
I think he talks about numbers. I think

Speaker 1 I'm not sure. I think that.

Speaker 1 We're talking numbers that we're putting Eminem in that.

Speaker 1 If you talk of numbers, you're putting Eminem in that category.

Speaker 1 I don't think that everybody in the world felt Eminem the same way the masses felt Drake. And I want to stick up for all of you.

Speaker 1 And I want to stick up for Em a little bit. M is a student of hip-hop.
True. Yes.
No matter how big M was or is,

Speaker 1 he was never going to say anything to Trech

Speaker 1 or Redman or Cain.

Speaker 1 Yeah, not just that. Even if he went home and felt like

Speaker 1 dip on my chip, he he wouldn't never present the opposite he would do that yeah he worships them yeah anytime he gets in front of a camera i don't think yeah i don't think it's fair i would say to bring them up this is what i think happened with drake and this this happened around 2016 when they decided that we were going to make the entire world move from all digital all everything to strictly streaming we needed a face

Speaker 1 He was the face. We put everything behind him.
I mean, granted, he was a star before that. I'm not saying that.
But now we are basically using you to shift the entire industry.

Speaker 1 He didn't see the play.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 He did not see the play in unsupported. How would you?

Speaker 1 I'm not saying that he was supposed to.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. And I'm not defending him.
Because if you give a person, you say this. If you give a person the ability to feed you,

Speaker 1 they were the reason why you did this. You don't think that, though?

Speaker 1 That's where the naivety comes into play. It's like

Speaker 1 you didn't do this. They did this.
It's a joint effort. He doesn't think that.
He doesn't think that. He doesn't think that.

Speaker 1 It's a joint effort. As if he didn't think that.
It's a joint effort. So now they have to remind you he learned it.
Today he's learned it. That's it.

Speaker 1 And this is also, this ain't just a message for Drake. I don't think he listened to it.
This is for anybody else, too. What?

Speaker 1 I don't think he learned it today.

Speaker 1 I think that Drake feels like they're suppressing my shit, and that's the only reason my shit is not going. I think that Drake feels like, yo, if I had a fair, even field to play on, my shit would go.

Speaker 1 They suppressing it. You never had a fair even field to play on.
If he's saying that, then in my opinion, he's learnt it.

Speaker 1 Because dude with the dip on his chip didn't think there was a way to ever suppress

Speaker 1 my meat. True.

Speaker 1 So if today he's realizing some of the things that a lesser artist have realized, which is

Speaker 1 a lot of it is them, how the spins and the videos and the people in every city.

Speaker 1 Everybody in the city, every city, every major city in the country is playing your shit the second that it drops.

Speaker 1 And that's why, not to speed up, because because we could finish well this is the end of the ship it's the end of my my fucking notes but

Speaker 1 the day after or the same night even drake announces february 14th valentine's day friday hey ladies out there it's still valentine's day not valentine's weekend even though tank and tray songs and fantasies just performing in atlantic city on saturday the 15th

Speaker 1 oh word

Speaker 1 yeah i might have to make it a double hitter side chick day

Speaker 1 that's side chick day that ain't bad. That ain't a bad show neither.

Speaker 1 Both of them make them get along for the little tank.

Speaker 1 He announced that project.

Speaker 1 I'm excited about it. If I'm not excited about it, it's an automatic cop for me.
I'm a party next door fan. I'm a Drake fan with the melodies.
Give it to me.

Speaker 1 It's either the greatest chess move ever or another big mistake. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I wanted to ask y'all what y'all thought. I'm worried about it.
I'm definitely worried. I'm worried.
Because if it isn't great

Speaker 1 or doesn't do numbers, it's going to look really fucking bad. That's where I'm at.
I'm at. That's a bad thing.
What?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I don't think the quality. And for sure is banging this.
Like, there's some people that could. I don't think it matters.

Speaker 1 I don't think the quality matters. There's some people that think that every move that he does now or has done is bad.

Speaker 1 There's some people that could say that Australian tour, tour, while all of this bullshit is going on in America, is a great idea. Great for who, though?

Speaker 1 For him, for mental health, his ego and his mental health. Well, no, and Australia, you have to pack house over there.
Yeah, to me, having been here, which means I'm him. I'm gonna pack it over here.

Speaker 1 Well, great. Then let me reap some of the

Speaker 1 benefits of colonizing sounds. Let me, if I'm, if my run is done here, I'm moving over here.
I'm not mad with that. I'm not mad with that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Right? So, now, with this move, this is my only thing with this move.
I don't,

Speaker 1 with what I saw at the Grammys,

Speaker 1 this ain't a universal release.

Speaker 1 This is not universal. Let me see how it's dropping.
I'm guessing. I don't know.
Party is a bad thing. From what I saw at the Grammys.
OVO, right? And that's... That's somebody else.
That's Sony.

Speaker 1 Warner, one of them.

Speaker 1 So now,

Speaker 1 this is where I say it may be a mistake. I don't know.

Speaker 1 That support, so now this is not a Drake party project, even though it is,

Speaker 1 because Drake is doing little moves to still be present and seen out here while he's going through this bullshit. But if this is a party project with Warner,

Speaker 1 or put both of them together, it's Warner support.

Speaker 1 Well, I looked it up.

Speaker 1 And Warner support

Speaker 1 ain't gonna look like UMG support,

Speaker 1 and that may not bode well in the midst of this onslaught of the Grammys and the fucking Super Bowl, even if the music is magnificent. Party ain't for everybody.
I'm a party fan from day one.

Speaker 1 Party ain't for everybody.

Speaker 1 You're not a fan? No, I'm not a fan. I'm a party fan from

Speaker 1 some people that's with it and some people that's not. Someone did not.
I understand. Sometimes I cut on options or some of them classic party shits, and bitches be like,

Speaker 1 turn shit off. We're not vibing.
We're not jamming. If creatively, it's an amazing project,

Speaker 1 how it does while all of this is going on,

Speaker 1 it could be bad.

Speaker 1 It could be bad. I think it's going to be bad.
I'm telling you, dog, I don't care what he puts out. They might cease and desist that motherfucker.
I don't care what he puts out.

Speaker 1 I just think that right now he has a bad taste in everybody's mouth, Paul's. And I think that niggas is not going to support that project.

Speaker 1 I just don't think, I think that he's lost the favor of millions and millions of people.

Speaker 1 But fans are fickle, too. You put out one slash.
They'll come right back. And it's not just that.
I mean,

Speaker 1 we saying it's like they put Spotify just put the numbers out. He's still at the top.
He's still doing numbers. So it's not like everybody just are no longer listening to Drake music.

Speaker 1 He still is number one. He's the first artist in 2025 already to reach, I forget how many billion views, and he ain't dropped shit yet.
One, Drake is still Drake. Drake is World War II.

Speaker 1 We just don't want to make it seem like he ain't still.

Speaker 1 All of these albums and streams that you're naming are the streams that we invested in and we eating off of.

Speaker 1 We just not down with New Drake.

Speaker 1 Good point.

Speaker 1 And, yo,

Speaker 1 we still want to eat. Internationally, we still eat him.
We're going to eat. We're eating.
We working all of this shit. Streaming up.
We got to deal with Spotify, with Haynes Underwear.

Speaker 1 We got to deal. Now, you're right.
Run this up. That makes sense.
You're right.

Speaker 1 It's the new music that we're like,

Speaker 1 hey, we out on that. We got another answer to one of your questions.
Give it to me.

Speaker 1 dj khaled this is not my last album this is my black album j-voice blah blah blah fyi drake's back to work so am i this is the one with two emoji drake's

Speaker 1 matter of fact send that record over to rihanna i just want to breathe the air that rihanna breathes everything is locked that's what he needs he needs two or three of those who drake

Speaker 1 two or three of what what

Speaker 1 he needs a smack like them caled smashes like that's what i think he needs i don't think him and party get it done. I don't give a fuck how good the project is.

Speaker 1 I just don't think it's enough to get him back in a good grace of the world.

Speaker 1 He performed Carcadian rhythm

Speaker 1 first night in Australia. So, the conversation to be at, I'm with you.
But a smash is not just your ability to make one, but who's paying for it?

Speaker 1 And that's why I brought up Warner support versus UNG support. So, let's say he makes it.

Speaker 1 Who's paying for it right now? Not just like who's pushing this? Yeah, that's the part that he got to get worked out. He could go make a slap,

Speaker 1 But if Universal and Taylor Swift and Beyonce and Billie Eilish and all of the rest of them is like, yeah, we off it.

Speaker 1 When the last time Drake and Khaled worked? Like, the record worked. There you go.
Oh, you took it out of my mouth. Pause.
Actually, I'll take that whole comment back.

Speaker 1 The two short flip, probably.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was wild. That was disgusting.

Speaker 1 You give it up. The two short flip? Probably, right?

Speaker 1 What's too short flip? Damn.

Speaker 1 Is it just me? That one one.

Speaker 1 The fucking one. Don't, don't, don't.
Yeah. Nigga, that was 2013.

Speaker 1 I know. And I did.
He did a Khaled project. He did.
For free. Fuck me for free.
For free as well. We used to win Khaled Records.
Back 2016. Pipe Down.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Oh, no, not Pipe Down.

Speaker 1 Free.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for free.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying 2016.

Speaker 1 Grease. Grease.
Grease is the other one. Pop star.

Speaker 1 They haven't worked. They ain't worked.

Speaker 1 So, cool. Give Khaled to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know if anybody cares.

Speaker 1 It depends. And Khaled is on Epic, right? He is, yeah.
It depends. Khaled is on Epic.
I don't know if Khaled got.

Speaker 1 Let me shut up. I didn't mind my dad's name.
It depends on what. Who else is on the bottom? Khaled is on Epic.
Future is on Epic. They started this whole shit.
Don't come in here with a Drake Red.

Speaker 1 Two short record was on Khaled, and it was in 2016. That was the last thing that

Speaker 1 worked, in my opinion. Yeah, it's the last thing.
The freestyle? Was on a Khaled process? That was for free. That was for

Speaker 1 free work. Oh, no, that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm not talking about that. All right, so I'm off.
2016.

Speaker 1 I forgot what I was saying. But I'm just saying, I don't like Khaled saying this right now, that doesn't.
Khaled cold as ice right now. That's my boy.

Speaker 1 Respectfully. Respectfully.
But he's cold as ice.

Speaker 1 Puff gone.

Speaker 1 Like before, Khaled used to say. Nigga, I would be sleeping in front of Rihanna's house if I'm Khaled.

Speaker 1 And she might say. Rihanna the one.
Who else on this album? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because she's down with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of politics going on now. I don't know what...

Speaker 1 If Callie dropped today, what does that album do? Or is people...

Speaker 1 Everybody's got it. I don't know, so we got to see.

Speaker 1 I believe in Callan's ability to create a record. Just you need people to create a record.
Yeah, you need the people.

Speaker 1 I like that grease shit. I did.
I did. I thought it was moon.
I thought it was moon.

Speaker 1 I got you, Ish. If you didn't hear some of them other shit, you definitely didn't hear this.

Speaker 1 I got you right now. Let's see.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Nah, look at it.
I like it. It may not be a hit, but I like it.

Speaker 1 We the best new shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like this shit. Another one.

Speaker 1 Listen.

Speaker 1 DJ Coward. Call me.
Evolve your things. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Stop it, Gucci, stop at Louis V.

Speaker 1 Call me. Fly you out to Greece.

Speaker 1 Full speed, Savoni Pali.

Speaker 1 Call me.

Speaker 1 Stop it, Gucci, stop at Louis V.

Speaker 1 Fly you out to Greece,

Speaker 1 full speed, Savoni Pali, yes, sir. Speed balls, baby, and Nikki B.

Speaker 1 Ways in my ears. It's cool.

Speaker 1 I liked it, but it's just cool. The last thing in the strip club it worked.
It'll matter.

Speaker 1 That's something. That's worth it.

Speaker 1 Appreciate it.

Speaker 1 I'm just asking. I'm talking about commercials.
Yo, Gorby ain't working no more. Going crazy.

Speaker 1 I don't think that Drake just do a whole bunch of singing and la-da-da-da-da-da. I would party next door.
I definitely believe track 14 or somewhere.

Speaker 1 He ain't done with y'all.

Speaker 1 He gonna let y'all know how he feel about some things on that RBF. Secret track.

Speaker 1 Let it keep playing. Let the silence play.

Speaker 1 He gonna tear somebody up. And I'm gonna listen.
I'm gonna listen to it. I'm gonna listen to it.
I'm listening.

Speaker 1 Kendrick speech. Kendrick, anything, give me anything, Kendrick, before we close this Grammy topic.

Speaker 1 I don't think he was the happiest to be there. I mean, he was happy to win there, but he didn't seem like he had much to say.
Clean, sweet. But I did like the

Speaker 1 respect to art. Clean sweep.
Respect to art form. Respect to art form.
That's it. Nothing's more powerful than that.

Speaker 1 We are the greatest culture that is. Saying it in front of fucking Chapel Rowan, all of them.
Yo, rap runs this shit. I know y'all are doing y'all numbers.

Speaker 1 Y'all live in nice houses, but rap will always run this shit. We dictate this shit.
What's cool, what's fly, what's hot. None of that tap dance dance and bullshit is floating.
We run this shit.

Speaker 1 Clean. Oops.
Clean, sweet.

Speaker 1 I tried to tell y'all that last part. Clean, sweet, sweep him up.
Yeah, I didn't think he was going to be. Sweep him up.

Speaker 1 I didn't think it was going to be record of the year.

Speaker 1 That was the one I didn't think he did. But it was record of the year.
No, I was wrong. I just, record of the year is usually like an award more so for the songwriters.

Speaker 1 So, yeah. And it ain't, that record ain't really

Speaker 1 intricate in the song. Third verse.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying that. Third verse.

Speaker 1 He compared himself. Bro, that shit was impacted.
The slave. I thought it was Song of the Year.
I didn't think Record of the Year. I didn't think Record of the Year.

Speaker 1 That was the one I wanted to question him.

Speaker 1 Third verse. Comparisons.
That is the most impressive year by a rapper I've ever seen in my entire life. Let's go, Paul.
All of one day. And it ain't over yet.
It ain't over yet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we still got one day. It was the pre-game.

Speaker 1 Now, it may have hurt more because we didn't know that the Grammys was going to look and feel like that.

Speaker 1 We had no idea. The Super Bowl, we kind of been bracing up for it.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 if the Grammys sent him to the Australian hookah bar to sing karaoke, he's going to the moon next. Dog, yeah.

Speaker 1 Because he's seen what happened last night. Of course.
Oh, yeah. He 100% seen it.
I don't give a fuck how many little slaps he was singing last night. I think he had an inkling it was going to happen.

Speaker 1 Nigga, what's that name of the shit Amani be watching? Red Stream? What's the shit? Redstick? Red tube? Red tube. Some of that shit.

Speaker 1 Drake had that fucking red tube up, and he's going to have it up next week. And next week, gonna be

Speaker 1 spooky. Wow, he's still in the toilet for that one.

Speaker 1 Don't eat for the day? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Where does he go from here, though?

Speaker 1 He should just turn the Wi-Fi completely off the phone next week. No, turn the phone off.
Yeah. Throw the phone.
Yeah, I don't even need a phone. You don't really need a phone.
You don't need a phone.

Speaker 1 I don't need a phone. And not the next day.
No, I got shows to do. I'm going to do my shows.
I got fans.

Speaker 1 Turn the TV off for real. Yeah.
Turn the TV off. Turn his TV off.
Do you think that him being active is hurting him more?

Speaker 1 I don't think he's been active. Active as far as like the tours, still on social media.

Speaker 1 That don't count. That's how I'm not going to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 I mean, not talking about music. We're talking about

Speaker 1 presence being, you know, your face being nothing. That's good for his mental health.
I think him sitting in the

Speaker 1 sitting in the house sitting down, it would be way more, way more.

Speaker 1 Some people take a hiatus when certain shit happens.

Speaker 2 We've been saying that since before the whole dish.

Speaker 1 Like Kane, nigga. Maybe he should have sat down.

Speaker 1 No, i think him moving around is definitely positive for him it's reinforcement it's affirmation that i'm still him like they i'm over there with them fickle in the united states yeah they ain't with me but the whole other side of the world is still draped out you get i'm saying he i think he needs that for his own emotional support i agree i agree i agree

Speaker 1 Because I don't want him to hurt himself or fucking. Yeah, that should have bequeathed me either.
Yeah, no, no, that's not. He never did it.
I don't think he'll do that.

Speaker 1 Bray, I don't know what these people be after. He'll ignore the next nigga.

Speaker 1 He'll let some shit pass. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This too shall pass. He should be the picture of that motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Keep it friendly. I don't think so.
I think he will. I think it's the exact opposite.
I think he'll.

Speaker 1 I gotta show you niggas. I still, I gotta make an example.
I think he'll plan it out better.

Speaker 1 I don't think he would rush into it. That.
I said he did it. Niggas is in the studio.
He rushed into a ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Pressed the button.
Boom. Five seconds later.
Boom. Remember that shit? That shit fucked us up, man.
He came off a tour. Oh, my God.
God. A year and a half.

Speaker 1 I don't think he has that same grip on things, Paul. What do you mean? I don't think so either.
I don't think it's the same grip like the times that you're talking about.

Speaker 1 It's just different times now. And he might be the last one to realize that, but it's possible.

Speaker 1 It's different times. Man, you make a comeback, man.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I ain't count him out. Make the slots.
I ain't counting him out.

Speaker 1 All y'all out there, yo, his career's over. No, I ain't telling him.
None of that. None of that.
He was up high enough to where the fall off,

Speaker 1 it's going to be a while anyway. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 He was all the way the fuck up there. Oh, shit.
Stratosphere.

Speaker 1 Hey, save your laugh for when he gets on the train at least.

Speaker 1 Don't play with him while he's falling. He fuck around.

Speaker 1 Catch a pitch. Oh, yeah.
He catch a pitch now. Throw him a wing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's all it takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You go catch

Speaker 1 a 40-pack. That's, okay.

Speaker 1 This is exactly what I need to talk to the people I want to talk talk to for.

Speaker 1 The crazy part is that. Where's the nearest two colours?

Speaker 1 Like, when we said last time, I don't want to go back to it, but when you listen to how good Family Matters is, and that you just not like us, just

Speaker 1 it's like my name. It wasn't no not like us.
Yeah, I know, but it's still like when you listen to it, put that shit on blast. I know we talked about it, but I have, I like the record.

Speaker 1 I still listen to the whole thing. Dog, none of that shit matters.

Speaker 1 Artists make songs all the time that they believe are super fire. True.

Speaker 1 And if you got a relationship like that with your label, you'll walk in one day on a Tuesday, hit the corner office, tell Lucian to stop what he's doing, y'all.

Speaker 1 Let me let you just hear something real quick. Their assistant is going to put it in, and he's going to play it.
And

Speaker 1 if they feel it, awesome. But if you ain't like that, your song could be the greatest shit in the world.
And they're like, all right, thanks. Get out.
Bring him out to 12:15, please.

Speaker 1 Yo, bring him out one o'clock meeting. Thanks a lot.
No, I got you.

Speaker 1 And the Wednesday meeting, we'll talk about it. Like,

Speaker 1 Drake is great.

Speaker 1 So is is Lucy. Like, it's a marriage that makes these things go.
And as fans, we could argue because there's no right or wrong. We're all fans.
But when it gets down to the science behind it

Speaker 1 and the chemistry behind it, no, you kind of need each other. You kind of need each other.

Speaker 1 I can make Not Like Us right now and hit upload.

Speaker 1 It's four people gonna hear it. One needs more than a hundred.
100 people gonna hear it. It ain't gonna do nothing, not a thing.

Speaker 1 Very different from homeboy doing it with all the support in the world. And a different animal, different monster with him.
And again, congrats to Kendrick. It's a marriage thing.
That's cool.

Speaker 1 Everybody keeps saying that marriage thing. I think this is evident.
It's a marriage, but everybody ain't come to the table equally. Everybody in that marriage.

Speaker 1 It remains to be seen. Drake maybe fares different if there's no Taylor Swift too.
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Like, that's what he's saying in the song. He's like, yo,

Speaker 1 it's a miscalculation on his behalf. But he's like, yo, Taylor got you wiped down.

Speaker 1 No, Taylor has everybody wiped down. No, but he's naming, he said, I think he said, Scissor got you wiped down.
Taylor got you wiped down. Somebody, Travis.
Scissors, my friends.

Speaker 1 He's looking at these niggas like, yo, these. He wasn't saying Taylor had them wiped down.
He was talking about the other two. He didn't say that in the wipe down people.

Speaker 1 Yes, he did.

Speaker 1 Like, yo, he looked. No, he ain't some mutts.
He don't. Yeah, he was.
He didn't say Taylor had you wiped down. 21 got you.

Speaker 1 He's looking at global brands, bro. But he has said in lyrics before that is his point.
Like yo, it's only Taylor I'm looking at.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at these other niggas. I'm not looking at you, my nigga.
You are a mouse. Now, again, it's a miscalculation on his behalf, but he's not looking at that.

Speaker 1 I think this nigga is just seeing something totally different.

Speaker 1 So you saying he don't look when niggas is coming to the table, you can't tell a nigga again that that has had music, him, Taylor Swift, name of three, four, five other people.

Speaker 1 We held this whole industry up. You can't tell me that I'm not coming to the table with equal equity.

Speaker 1 Again, that could be a mistake on his behalf as well. I think it is a mistake because the music industry has existed for years without you.
You didn't get here without us allowing you to.

Speaker 1 So we are more important

Speaker 1 in conversation than you are at this time.

Speaker 1 Now to what he can say is, replace me. But by that premise,

Speaker 1 that premise assumes that Catholic Law doesn't sell records too, which is not accurate. No, it's not.

Speaker 1 I don't think that that premise is based on that. I think it's a premise based on my impact around the world.

Speaker 1 It's not that. That's what i'm saying so now he can go tell lucian replace me

Speaker 1 and you'll get replaced we'll see i think he's already replaced i don't think so well who but do you always have to replace with a single person nope the taylor swift dress and theatrics and relationship and lucian's appearance and how happy he was like we shouldn't only think rap i guess that's what you're saying that's what i'm saying yeah in this particular genre which we are saying is the biggest genre in the world kendrick got up there and said hip-hop is it replace me I'm saying to the label people, there's really no such thing as that, right?

Speaker 1 Like on Def Jam back in my day,

Speaker 1 Kanye might have been killing on college dropout. But over there on the island side, there was one of them rock bands that was doing

Speaker 1 6 million, 7 million. They didn't even know Kanye's name.
Gotcha. Hey, wait, we could beat with them too.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So they don't really care about the genre.

Speaker 1 Can somebody come in here and do that? And I'm sitting next to my Benny Barbara, one of them niggas. Yeah.
I'm sitting next to Benny. Sorry to Carpenter's right here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, cumulative, we could replace you. You can replace you.
But as far as the hip-hop portion of our puzzle, they don't care so much about that. Yeah, that's the unfortunate part.
We'll see.

Speaker 1 That's the unfortunate part.

Speaker 1 They're not really looking to. Hey, we'll get all our hip-hop from TDE.
And not just that. Damn, and all.

Speaker 1 Outside of that, we ain't looking to find the next one. We really got what we needed out of you.
That's what you was. That's the part, yeah.
The move to streaming. We did it.
We did it. We did it.

Speaker 1 And we also have your catalog. And we stopped going nowhere.
Exactly. It ain't going nowhere.
So you are disposable right now.

Speaker 1 You might think you're not. You think you were the global music star.
You held music on your back. Music, they showed you last night, we fine without you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, music showed him that. State can't show him that.
He's still the man in his respective.

Speaker 1 Like he left to go do big business.

Speaker 1 And I disagree. I think that Drake's absence was felt the last two years in music.
To who?

Speaker 1 Fans. The populace.
The industry. The populace.
I think the populace. What does populist mean?

Speaker 1 The masses. I think that

Speaker 1 like the streets.

Speaker 1 Not streets. I mean, but just the masses.
I think that up here, we've saying that music has not really given us much the last couple years. We ain't have no Cardi.
We begged for Scissor.

Speaker 1 We didn't have no Drake. Kendrick put out

Speaker 1 the battle shit, but his album was. We got Drake too, not for nothing.
That's what started. No, we didn't.
That's what started all this. Yes, we did.
We got for all the dogs and the bonus that.

Speaker 1 That wasn't Drake.

Speaker 1 No, that was.

Speaker 1 Careful.

Speaker 1 That was two years ago. That was throwaways.

Speaker 1 That was Drake throwaways. I'm not going to say that, but.
Bro. All right.

Speaker 1 What if he doesn't know? Wait, hold on. Hold up.

Speaker 1 Now it's going to seem like you know, go ahead.

Speaker 2 No, I was just going to ask, like,

Speaker 2 what makes you think that he believes that these were throwaways?

Speaker 1 What if this was a legitimate thing? I have to ask you, why are you calling them throwaways? Let me give you my answer for why you're saying that. Lucian's lack of involvement.
All of that.

Speaker 1 I think he's been beefing beefing with these niggas for a long time. It shows that his projects he don't really give a fuck about.

Speaker 1 Some of us get insider information where they say he was basically telling them niggas to suck my dick. Yeah, the cover art.
Yeah, my son did it. Yeah, fuck out of here.
And they fixed it.

Speaker 1 But if T felt that way, why would he be getting so mad at Joe and me and other people that reviewed it poorly?

Speaker 1 They fixed it. I think it was about the dialogue.

Speaker 1 I think Drake is Luca Donchic, and

Speaker 1 Lucian and the labels is the Mavs' new ownership group. That's possible.
That is possible.

Speaker 1 And we'll get to that trade in a second. There's a lot to get to.

Speaker 1 To your point, Ish,

Speaker 1 I missed, listen, when that Drake PND shit was announced, I was excited. Bro, music.
I was excited. I missed this.
Drake.

Speaker 1 Niggas don't want to say it, and it makes me sound like I'm just talking from an objective standpoint. I don't have a horse.
I think plenty of people. Music misses Drake.
Music misses Cardi.

Speaker 1 Music misses some of these heavy-heated niggas that we have not really heard from in a couple years. I totally agree.
Music has been lackluster out here. I just think my counter to that is

Speaker 1 this game that's being fought is outside of the hands of fans now. True.
I agree with that. I'm with you.

Speaker 1 I think it's mad us that miss Drake music, people that like love old Drake or whatever Drake you was a fan of, niggas miss it.

Speaker 1 It's out of our hands now. And I don't even be knowing the B-sides like y'all.

Speaker 1 I just know the little commercially shit. Bro, it's different outside.
You know what a broom is, right? I do. Do you want to hold it? For what?

Speaker 1 I think that shit is well-deserved. Creepy move!

Speaker 1 I think it's no, not even. I'm just being theatric.
No, I'm just saying, I don't think it's nothing nobody could say. That nigga deserved every fucking award he got.
That song is fucking amazing.

Speaker 1 Y'all getting some bars on this whole sexy ladies, like some sexy slaps, or whatever the name of this shit is. Y'all gonna get four bars to curse one of these boys out.
More than four.

Speaker 1 I ain't done with Metro. More than four.
Metro, you little short-minded fucking bunk.

Speaker 1 Your shoes are little. I'm done with my Grammy notes.
I'm done with my Grammy takes. If y'all have anything to get out, please feel free.

Speaker 1 Please feel free. Go ahead, get in your bag, get your shit off.
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, I forgot. Hold up.
Big Chris. Oh.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 why the fuck was Janelle Monet up there doing that? Instead of Chris Brown? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instead of Chris Brown.
Well, you know why Chris Brown wasn't.

Speaker 1 We don't know. No, I don't.
If you're in the process of getting things right,

Speaker 1 if y'all really wanted to get it right right and really hit a home run,

Speaker 1 he knows the dances that they did last year. We all seen the dances on the back door that we've seen last year.
That sends the Grammys out of the park.

Speaker 1 If y'all really wanted to get it done, if y'all niggas would have just opened that curtain and don't show them, don't even show them in the stands.

Speaker 1 Just lift the curtain up and let that nigga be right there. No, no, lift the curtain up and let it be.
What's it called? When you just shadow, silhouette with it. Silhouette.

Speaker 1 Let it just be a silhouette with the hat. Nigga, throw a hat.
And just throw the hat over.

Speaker 1 Now that whole man goes crazy.

Speaker 1 He don't need to kill him.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Well, Rihanna can advocate for him if this ASAP traveled in.
Hold up. It's stupid.

Speaker 1 It should. Because she would.

Speaker 1 She would. I feel like she would call.

Speaker 1 Hold up. I'm just saying.
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. The Grammys.
The Grammys. We don't know that that didn't happen.

Speaker 1 With him, y'all keep reaching out to me. At a different award show.
And I'm getting fucked. Y'all fucking me at the last minute.

Speaker 1 Don't call me. Because that's what he said last time.
He said, yo, just just leave me alone. Don't even leave me alone.
Don't even call my phone. He did so.
So, that was at the all-star game.

Speaker 1 If you're serious about it, call me next year. Something else.
If you're serious about it,

Speaker 1 pencil me in for next year. I know this is your first

Speaker 1 rehabilitative Grammy. Rebranding.
Getting it right. If you really mean it, let's continue with building the relationship.
And next year, we will.

Speaker 1 If that curtain went up and that nigga was standing out there with just a hat

Speaker 1 and the socks and the fuck. Come on.

Speaker 1 Come on. Good thing.
Yo.

Speaker 1 And ain't nobody see him in the stands the whole fucking broadcast. Man, the roof would have come off that building.
You got fucking tipsy june eleven.

Speaker 1 I was sitting there like, oh, she's about to body this. Oh, she, no, she did not body nothing.

Speaker 1 I was moved.

Speaker 1 Yo, I was just hoping she didn't fall off that table so bad, my nigga. Like, yo, dog.
We so far, mama. I back him in.
I really liked you.

Speaker 1 I missed a spot. Shout out to Jenelle Monet, friend of the show.

Speaker 1 Very talented woman. Just.
Wasn't her name.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's hard to do Mike, bro. It is.
Extremely. Everybody can't do Mike, bro.

Speaker 1 All right. That's the Grammys.
That's all I got.

Speaker 1 That's the Grammys. I want to hit the round of applause for the Grammys getting it right this year.
For sure. I'm going to hit the round of applause for the Grammys getting it right this year.

Speaker 1 Come on now.

Speaker 1 I was just on two pods ago shitting on the grammar. I ain't watching this shit.

Speaker 1 Nah, they did their thing.

Speaker 1 I did go to the movies in the middle of the Grammys. This movie was so bad, I was only there for 15 minutes.

Speaker 1 Flight Risk.

Speaker 1 I went and saw the scissors. Mark Warburg.
Kiki shit.

Speaker 1 How was that? I want to go see that. You was bored.
You was bored.

Speaker 1 It wasn't for me. Shade need to come home.
You was bored.

Speaker 1 I didn't miss that, yo.

Speaker 1 When I realized that that

Speaker 1 wasn't. No, listen, my new thing is I'll go watch a corny movie by myself just for the going through the motions of being in the movie.
No, he did. I like it.
Make my chicken spring rolls.

Speaker 1 Get my little water popcorn.

Speaker 1 I'll do it then.

Speaker 1 So when when I said I wasn't going to watch the Grammys, I ordered some movie tickets. And they suit me up.

Speaker 1 It was mad fucking movie time, so I thought it might be, I knew it would be corny, but it was a lot of movie time. So I was like, oh, they're spending some money.
But yeah, whatever.

Speaker 1 I walked out of here about 20 minutes. Wow.
Got out of here. Don't worry, man.
Back at home. Back home in time to see.
Back at home right now.

Speaker 1 On the Grammys. Yeah, no, wait on my baby.
Should be here soon. On the phone.
And you watched the Kiki Scissor chip. I did.
I did. Was that any better? You said it wasn't for you.
Why? It wasn't for.

Speaker 1 That's racist. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not racist. It was entertaining.
It's just, it was like... Younger demo? Yeah, it felt like women would enjoy that.

Speaker 1 It was like a buddy. Yeah, maybe I am.

Speaker 1 It was like a buddy comedy that was centered around women, and it felt like women would enjoy it. My wife loved it.
Like, like the way it was. Like a girl's trip type of vibe?

Speaker 1 No. Like Red Man and Method Man, but women? There we go.
Gotcha. Wow.

Speaker 1 Damn, man.

Speaker 1 I'm not watching Kiki Palmer do anything. It felt like an episode of Insecure kind of

Speaker 1 with a budget. Saturday night.
Like, I'll watch it. It's entertaining.

Speaker 1 You didn't miss nothing, so I didn't miss nothing. Gotcha.
Trump is playing. Take your wife.
You crash. We'll have a good time.

Speaker 1 I think that's going to be the movie.

Speaker 1 I got to find something to do.

Speaker 1 This nigga's stupid. This nigga's an idiot.
Yo, what's wrong with you, son? It's true, though.

Speaker 1 Hey, Trump won out.

Speaker 1 All right, girl. DEI movie.
Yo, this nigga's stupid, yo.

Speaker 1 You called it a DEI movie? No, he called it that. Don't look at me.
Don't look at me. Now I was piggybacking on what you said, though.
I only want to see Kiki Palmer fight with a baby daddy.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 All that shit wish she's showing talent. You got it.

Speaker 1 Big T is here now. I like Kikushi.
I love Kiki. Big T is here.
I love her too.

Speaker 1 I ain't fucking up. I ain't.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You got it. Well, this part is cool.
Next part, we're doing talented black women that we all hate.

Speaker 1 I'm sick. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 Again?

Speaker 1 Man,

Speaker 1 give us an example. I won't be here.
Lord as well. If I give examples, my dad will be on my phone for the next rest of the week.
Who does your dad like? Everybody. Black.

Speaker 1 Give us an condo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pop, don't play the lick. Don't play that shit.
Is that the bad? Next time you see dad, my dad, just ask him. Yeah, Pop, I was wondering something, man.

Speaker 1 Like, how many hits Roberta Flag got? Like, honestly.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 Ask him that

Speaker 1 he's anti-Roberta Flack. No, no, no, the opposite.
Uh-oh, no, no, uh-oh, you're not anti-nobody that's from back in the day. But if you ever just want to fuck with him, oh,

Speaker 1 hell, man, honestly, real quick, Patty the bell and slaps. Was Smokey really that dude? Ask him.

Speaker 1 Laura Hill took Roberta Flack slaps, so she wasn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she snatched it right from her.
And she, what you was gonna do about it, what you gonna do about it, Roberta? Let me get that.

Speaker 1 Let me get that, big dog. Shit out that shit.
Big jersey shit. She snatched that.
That's a Lauren song. It is.
We don't. Yeah, we don't.
What? Say something, Mark. Y'all trash, man.

Speaker 1 That's bullshit, man. That's generational.
Last generational. Roberta killed that shit.
So did Dolly Parton. Don't nobody know it.

Speaker 1 Whitney took it. You don't want my unpopular opinion about that.

Speaker 1 Whitney took that, nigga. What's your unpopular opinion? She knows everything I'll be sure song.

Speaker 1 Hold up. What's your popular opinion?

Speaker 1 No, we're not going to go.

Speaker 1 The show has to go on.

Speaker 1 We didn't get it. No, we didn't.
What is it, Mark? You thought Dolly didn't know that.

Speaker 1 don't help him. Look, y'all are not gonna like my unpopular picture.
Let's hear it. Let's hear it though.
And I know it's an all-Jersey room, so y'all think everything is everything. Nah, it's cool.

Speaker 1 Dolly Parton's version of I'm William for me

Speaker 1 is just as good. It's different.

Speaker 1 But it's just Mark.

Speaker 1 We're about to jump this nigga.

Speaker 1 What? Just as good as what? I'm going to jump.

Speaker 2 It's Whitney's version. That's what he's saying.

Speaker 1 Alvin and the Chipmunk version.

Speaker 1 Y'all disrespect. Dolly Parton gets disrespected so much.
You're respecting that. Disrespected I love Whitney's version.

Speaker 1 It's not even disrespectful. And you can tell Dolly Park is as good as Lawrence, too, right? I can't believe you said that.
Where is Wycliffe?

Speaker 1 This is what makes it good.

Speaker 1 Mark, stop it, yo. Come on, man.
This arrangement is way better. Mark, stop.
It's timeless.

Speaker 1 Fuji's version is not timeless.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 1 It ain't iced caramel macchiato. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait a minute. Yo, let me get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of clean caps.

Speaker 1 Flax version is

Speaker 1 better arrangement? A lemon loaf with a pistachio lock. Y'all wilding.
This nigga's gonna be a little bit more than a fancy. I want a birthday cake, Pop, too.
I like though. I hate it.

Speaker 1 Your treat with that bubble-ass tape. You paying, nigga.
You think that this version isn't as good as Laura? Y'all crazy.

Speaker 1 Y'all just from the 90s, that's all.

Speaker 1 I bet your pop would agree with me.

Speaker 1 Nigga, you my age. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 That's just some 90s shit. If you ask most people, they're not gonna say that.
This shit is cool.

Speaker 1 Bro, you are out of your mind.

Speaker 1 You don't like this version? This shit is cool cool if I'm making tea.

Speaker 1 Like, this shit is.

Speaker 1 Representative.

Speaker 1 Representative.

Speaker 1 Press one.

Speaker 1 Everybody 60 and over will agree with me. Would agree with me.
You're not 60.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying it's generational.

Speaker 1 You're not 60. So I can't agree with somebody older? You wrong.
Yo, hold up for it. Is that a

Speaker 1 hold up? Mark, listen. Listen to why Claire Park.

Speaker 1 Give me a little tripod Quest. I'm about to say.

Speaker 1 Get this shit out. Oh, my God.
Press three. Let's go.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 He tried to move the gold.

Speaker 1 We trying to move the gold.

Speaker 1 I'm not moving the gold, but I'm saying,

Speaker 1 if you don't like this sound, you say this shit sounds like you like it's boring. I'm saying it don't.
It sounds boring to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I think it's just that. Mark, Mark, Mark, you're talking over greatness.
I did not say that.

Speaker 1 It's you in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 You in the kitchen. Mark, you talking over greatness.

Speaker 1 I thought we were great.

Speaker 1 Get the morning with this finger. She took her slap, yo.
It's okay. She stole it.
Oh, shit. Yo, all right.
Now we bumped into a fucking impromptu fucking topic.

Speaker 1 She ain't the only one that got a slap taken from her.

Speaker 2 And we did this one time where we talked about the one. Where we talked about the covers, and sometimes the cover was better than the original.

Speaker 1 Let me chill out.

Speaker 1 Oh, good. Slept is full.

Speaker 1 What? People don't know the original exists.

Speaker 2 No, no, I'm just saying that we had this conversation like, you know, a while ago where we talked about it.

Speaker 1 It's just better.

Speaker 1 Ask Dolly Parton. It is the better.
It is the only version. Yes.
Ask Dolly Parton who did it better. It's the only version.

Speaker 1 Hey, listen. I can't shit on Smoke.
Hey, Joe, don't start no shit. You right, though.
I can't, though. Oh, whatever.
I can't say it. But I can't say it.
I don't know. I can't say it.

Speaker 1 This is a better fight. This is a lot better than the Roberta flat.
Yes, this is a better.

Speaker 1 But it's far apart still.

Speaker 1 It's closer.

Speaker 1 I can't do that to Smoke. This is fire.
This is all the way fire.

Speaker 1 But what's better?

Speaker 1 Go play the other one. Let it play, nigga.
Let it play a little bit.

Speaker 1 I ain't gonna let y'all do that to Smokey. And if you want it, you got it forever.

Speaker 1 This is not a one-night stay. You can't play with Smokey.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I see you singing.

Speaker 1 Let the music take your mind.

Speaker 1 Shout out to whoever you might be listening from. Hey,

Speaker 1 50 and up, 50 and up right now.

Speaker 1 Let's go, man.

Speaker 1 I love it when we're cruising together.

Speaker 1 The music is playing.

Speaker 1 I ain't gonna hold you down.

Speaker 1 We're still together.

Speaker 1 To me, stealing somebody slap is different. Since I've been different,

Speaker 1 go ahead. Play your voice.

Speaker 1 Play your voice.

Speaker 1 I'm not gonna do that. It's not, I will, I'm not gonna say it.

Speaker 1 It ain't nothing. I will.
Hold up, though.

Speaker 1 Baby, Lucia. Who the fuck y'all talking about? This shit sounds like butterflo.

Speaker 1 You think this kills it too? Yes.

Speaker 1 Don't be confused. That Dolly Barton, Whitney Houston shit is not even a costume.
That's not. I said it's an unpopular opinion.
I'm just a Dolly Parton fan. No, it's your opinion.
I'm a green.

Speaker 1 I'm I'm a Dolly Parton fan.

Speaker 1 I love my mother more than damn near anything breathing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If my mother made that Dolly Parton version and Whitney Houston did, you not like the Dolly Parton version or do you just think Whitney's? It's okay. It ain't what Whitney Houston did.

Speaker 1 Look, they're not in the same state. Yeah, I don't agree with that.

Speaker 1 I'm not a planet. Universe.
Yeah, you don't agree with that.

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to convince y'all that Dolly Parton's version is better. I'm just saying, as I said, it's not a popular opinion.
It's a quirk of mine. I love Dolly Parton.

Speaker 1 She's like, I don't think Beyonce did Jolene better

Speaker 1 than Dolly Parton. No, she's different.
That's different.

Speaker 1 I just.

Speaker 1 You're not going to tell me.

Speaker 1 She body does. There's no Dolly Parton song.
Y'all are going to probably tell me that she did better. I listened to it.
There's no Dolly Party. Dolly Parton's Jolene.
That's a fight. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not a fight. No, no, I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 Whitney Houston ain't a fight. It's Mike Tyson fighting.
Come on, man. Come on.

Speaker 1 You think you missed what I'm saying? I'm not trying to convince you. I'm not saying I'm writing you wrong.
I'm saying I'm a Dolly Parton fan, and that's my unpopularity.

Speaker 1 I'm saying we're writing you wrong. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 You compare it to it. Completely.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yo, duh.

Speaker 1 Another one I ain't really gonna have no conversation about. How about Aggie One? Oh.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I wanna tell you, baby.

Speaker 1 This is his song.

Speaker 1 The original don't really exist. Which one are you talking about?

Speaker 1 Superstar. I didn't know there was more than one.
There's Bette Midler's version. There's a carpenter's version.
He's never talking about Bet Midler who's a white, weird owl Yanka bitch.

Speaker 1 It's the Carpenter's version.

Speaker 1 There's four versions of this before. That's why I was asking which one.
It was a crazy part. I'm playing when it comes to the old blacks.
Yo, dog. The carpenters are white.
Don't say Bette Midler.

Speaker 1 English Middle Eight. Which is what I was saying.

Speaker 1 Every version was white before. None of them exist.
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. I love, I think this version is the best one.
But I was just wondering which one he was talking about.

Speaker 1 The other ones don't suck. You write a document, you're writing a book on them, right? As soon as he gets this little part out right here, hey, at home, listening, 40 and up, 40 and up right now.

Speaker 1 Put a light in the sky right now. Rest in peace, Luther.
Rest in peace, fat Lutheran skinny Luther. Let's go.

Speaker 1 Yo, don't do that. Let's go.
Uh-oh. Who on the flute? Uh-oh.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh.

Speaker 1 Hey, the carpenters can go lay some carpets.

Speaker 1 Go get them some molding. They can take their ass to Lowe's when this come on.
Let me let him get his bag real quick. Then I got one more.
I want to ask y'all

Speaker 1 who has the best version and then we can move on.

Speaker 1 Let them cook. I don't care if he's taking a while.

Speaker 1 I don't care if he's taking a long time.

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 Ben Midler.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't ever say Ben Midler again up here.

Speaker 1 She's like fucking

Speaker 1 the songstress Ronald Reagan. Get her the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 I'll leave it alone. Yo, you got...

Speaker 1 I'm just as... Hold up, I just want to tell you, the other day when you said in the 60s, 70s, the white ladies could have took you out.
You think Ben Midler had me?

Speaker 1 Oh, do you remember? Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 For the music lovers out here, Ben Middle-Hoop. Don't say that dumb shit again.
I feel like you're not. Coming back this way again,

Speaker 1 baby.

Speaker 1 All right, who has the best version of this song?

Speaker 1 I really.

Speaker 1 There's only one version.

Speaker 1 Come on more. Bonnie Raid's version.
I'm taking Bonnie every time. Bonnie Raid.
I'm taking Bonnie Raid every time.

Speaker 1 You say Bonnie Raid's version of I Can't Make You Love is the best one? Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 And I don't think it's. I mean, let me hear what bag she was on.
Let me see.

Speaker 1 Turn down the light. Oh,

Speaker 1 hold up.

Speaker 1 Let's go, Bonnie. Big man.

Speaker 1 These voices

Speaker 1 inside my head

Speaker 1 lay down with me.

Speaker 1 I can't shit on it. I can't shit on it first.
Just hold me close.

Speaker 1 Don't patronize.

Speaker 1 Don't patronize.

Speaker 1 50 enough, 50 enough out there.

Speaker 1 70 enough out there.

Speaker 1 Cause I can't make you love me if you don't.

Speaker 1 Nah, hush it is still fire. Hush is still fire.
I'm biased though.

Speaker 1 See, the music be sounding crisper.

Speaker 1 And it's older. Like, I like that time capsule of how it sounds from the 70s or whatever.
But everybody did this. Prince did this.
Will Downing did this. Tank did this.

Speaker 1 None of them did as good as Biden.

Speaker 1 I hear you.

Speaker 1 I ain't going to press y'all to death right now.

Speaker 1 Is Mark here? Did we lose Mark? We lost Mark. We lost him.
Here we lost him. Mel, I have a question for you.
Did you really lose him? Okay, yeah. Lord, that's you

Speaker 1 Do you feel that I have more perks than you up here? Talk to him. Yes.
Do you feel that you get treated unfairly?

Speaker 1 Not by the, we're just talking about when it comes in comparison to others. Say, answer it right.
I'll edit it out. Yeah.
Comparison to me.

Speaker 1 Do you feel like it's unfair? Do I get, you know.

Speaker 1 Are you talking about contractually? I don't want to, we don't want to use that word. I just gave her that word.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But anything, pertaining to anything. Because you've called me privately and asked me how I got a couple of things before.

Speaker 1 And I told you.

Speaker 1 But now you're complaining about certain things.

Speaker 1 That's crazy, nigga. That's crazy.
So, are y'all crazy? Can you respond to that? Because it hurts when I hear it.

Speaker 1 Really? I think it's just them two.

Speaker 1 I don't think it's me. They're dead ass right now about what they're saying.

Speaker 1 Like, Mel has called. We've seen it before.

Speaker 1 Mel, and, I'm out of this. I'm out of this.

Speaker 2 One more time.

Speaker 1 Mel,

Speaker 1 I'm saying that why must you always highlight the advantages that I may have instead of supporting me? Because when you called me, I gave you the breakdown.

Speaker 1 I told you this is what I did, this is what I worked into it, this is what it was. So then, now, why are you using that against me? Because she was afraid to ask for something.

Speaker 2 I'm not using it. I'm not using it against you.
It just does appear like you have special privileges up here. Like, you come and go as you please.
You come in late.

Speaker 2 Like, it's just that is, by all appearances, what it looks like up here.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think that, I think that is easier.

Speaker 1 I don't want to throw anybody else in the bus. I just think it's easier to come at the man that can't keep up with you in certain spaces.

Speaker 2 I think you keep up just fine. Yeah, but mine is.
I saw that five minutes ago.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Mines is more erratic. Now, there's another nigga that coming here late, but if you was to present the same offer to him, the conversation would go different.
You would be more...

Speaker 1 Okay, all right. Who are you talking about?

Speaker 1 There's only one.

Speaker 1 Do you know the muffin? There's only one nigga in here. You can't tell that nigga about coming late.
late. We got to talk about the money.
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 I got you. You going to tell me stay yourself? You can't tell that.
You can't.

Speaker 1 You're not afraid of me, though. You ain't a nigga.

Speaker 1 In society, we pick and choose. You ain't going to impress my man about coming in late.
Yo, itchy coming in late. He coming late too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I have.

Speaker 2 I have talked about that. I've also talked about why the fuck am I standing up at the board like I like this is what.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you did that in the ill way. You told Joe about the board shit.
We came in here. No, no, no.
Before I said,

Speaker 2 no, no, before I said anything to Joe, I literally said it to y'all. I was like, I'm not standing up here for the good of my mother's son.
Yeah, but we didn't take that.

Speaker 1 We thought you was having another one of your tissy fits. We didn't take that seriously.

Speaker 1 Now, you went to tell Joe, niggas walked ahead.

Speaker 2 I guess that's what happens is like when a woman's speaking, just regard her with

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 Okay. Not a woman, but you.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 How many times have you gotten off this couch and ran to the back and ran around in circles and stuff? Wait, what?

Speaker 1 How many times have you came in here in the pod and just started yelling

Speaker 1 off of a topic? Cause you're stopping. No, I'm not talking about Zeppelin.
Running home. Now, I want to ask you two questions.
Hold on, hold on. I wanted to answer.
Internal fire.

Speaker 1 It's been plenty of time that you came to the podcast and you started yelling. So at that time, when you did say that twice, yo, I'm up here on the board.

Speaker 1 Ice got up one time and said, I'll help you, ma'am. Yes.
But the time Joe called us outside, niggas had a great par before, and we thought we was coming in for another one.

Speaker 1 He called the meeting out there, and you act like he was on our side when you started it.

Speaker 1 You sat there like,

Speaker 2 I was looking for consistency.

Speaker 1 Male, but you didn't even join us. The nigga was checking us.
Yo, y'all don't ride on the board. It's from him.
And you just sat there with us in solidarity.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, Joe, why are you talking to them like that? But you was the one that brought it to him.

Speaker 1 Thank God I got the shit out of the way.

Speaker 1 Yo,

Speaker 1 ask the question. Ishka, you roll it, look.
Oh, they're going to see who go. I just want to ask two questions.

Speaker 2 You know what? No.

Speaker 1 Oh. No.

Speaker 2 This was a 1v1. I don't have the energy for this shit.
And to continue on, like, we got like, what, two more hours? No. You can ask me later, but no.

Speaker 1 Wait, what? What?

Speaker 1 I ain't gonna lie. You different from Tuesdays, you different.
Tuesdays and Fridays, you was different. And I see when a woman feels like she got somebody that got her back, how she act.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna investigate this. My wife do the same thing with her mother around.

Speaker 1 Shut up, nigga. Like, who you talking to? Now, I have to respect that because her mother did.
But she's so crazy, slamming shit. She's slamming the brew in front of her mom's.

Speaker 1 So I'm your mother-in-law? No, but I see it, Kirk.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Kyle. Kurt is on my ass the whole first 40 minutes, maybe 30 minutes of this broadcast.
Yes, she's I had to pull outside, like, yo, I'm your friend.

Speaker 1 And then Friday, Friday, she'd be cool. She'd be like, I see it.
I think it's fly, though. I think how you pick and choose is fly, but it's just obvious to niggas that know you.

Speaker 2 It can't just be my response to certain energy or certain things that are said to me that might have an effect on me, regardless of the day.

Speaker 1 It has nothing to do with that. I'm just saying that with Mark here, you feel more secure.

Speaker 2 No, that's not true.

Speaker 2 No, it's not true. I love the addition that Mark is, but I don't feel any more safe.

Speaker 1 We're not talking about it. We're not talking about safety.
I think you're safe around us, and you make that clear.

Speaker 1 But I think when it comes to the broadcast, you're willing to talk up more when it comes to certain topics because you know that Mark and you agree on a lot of the same things.

Speaker 1 I went back and I did the research, and you know, I got the programs. So I had to write, though, she talked it.
Oh, Friday, we get mad, crazy shit off.

Speaker 2 I can't read his mind. I don't know if he's going to agree with me on any topic that I bring up.
Like, I don't.

Speaker 2 It's true. I don't.
And there's been times where I've said something and he.

Speaker 1 He totally disagree with me. But how does he disagree with you, man?

Speaker 1 Can you be honest with me?

Speaker 1 Because I love you as a sister. He doesn't disagree with you like how we do, right? He wouldn't make you feel away.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 He doesn't make you feel away.

Speaker 2 Imagine how that feels when somebody can disagree with you in a respectful manner. manner.

Speaker 1 I have no argument to that. Or

Speaker 2 feel like they're not all pouncing on you all at the same time, so then your thoughts get fragmented and shit like that. I don't want to turn this.
We're potting. I don't want to turn this into this.

Speaker 2 I've seen

Speaker 1 you in a respectful way.

Speaker 2 He has. He has.
I'm not taking that away from him. And that's why

Speaker 2 I'm not just putting the fucking cape on Mark's fucking back. She's got a point.

Speaker 1 That nigga cape is from the Hudson, nigga.

Speaker 2 I'm not caping.

Speaker 1 I think that's your opinion.

Speaker 2 And honestly, I don't think it's fair to him to say that he capes for me.

Speaker 1 No, I feel like you agree. And I respect this.

Speaker 1 And I did my research on him. I feel like

Speaker 1 you guys are one in one on certain. I feel like you guys are one of one on certain topics.
I know he done had a few talks.

Speaker 1 He's not going to sit here and disagree anything pertaining to women's rights. He's not going to.
He's not.

Speaker 1 Mark Brand is. Mark Brand is a political politician.
It's not a brand, though. I actually believe it.

Speaker 1 But it's polished, though, Mark. You understand what I'm saying, Mark? I'm not trying to dissociate.
I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying that I'm not associated with that. What I'm saying is, I actually believe it.
I know you do. That's what I'm saying is that me, I will talk.

Speaker 1 I didn't say a word, my brother. I don't want no smoke.
Yeah, you good. You good, sir.
No, I do. Remember, one M is bigger than the other.

Speaker 1 M M's? Remember. One hold more weight now.

Speaker 1 Drumming my pony.

Speaker 1 Singing my life, you know what I'm saying. You could have just came and saved me.
You be letting me go on the edge. I'm already in hot water water over here.

Speaker 1 Mel

Speaker 1 upholding whatever our time-wasted beef is, I think. So I'm just trying to chill.

Speaker 1 Just trying to chill. Giving grace is dangerous.
We just want to be cool.

Speaker 1 I'm chilling, and I don't want no Mel smoke.

Speaker 1 I love this. 11th floor, please.

Speaker 1 Dog tripping. It's such a beautiful arrangement, man.

Speaker 1 A live band.

Speaker 1 That agreeing shit between Mark and Mel got until May. Wait till the weather get nice.
Oh, he can't never go home.

Speaker 1 Hey, agreeing in the winter. Maybe like

Speaker 1 Mel could say something

Speaker 1 crazy. Mark will like, he'll bite his right lip.

Speaker 2 It's because you perceive it as being crazy.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 it's crazy to men.

Speaker 2 You've seen one. So Mark's not a man?

Speaker 1 He is. Did you see that?

Speaker 2 And Mark's not an intelligent man?

Speaker 1 Very.

Speaker 1 What does that have to do anyway? Yeah, intellect has nothing to do with this.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 1 his assessment of

Speaker 2 his assessment of being of me being crazy, but

Speaker 1 Mark doesn't have this. I don't think you're crazy.
I don't think you're crazy at all.

Speaker 2 You guys like to throw that word around.

Speaker 1 This is what I'll tell you. This is what I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 This is what I'll tell you. This is what I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 There are times. I'm not crazy.
Hold me down, Mark, right now, please. That's your brother.
Black Dads. I am one.
You are a black dad.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, there are times where I don't agree, and sometimes it melts to him not to disagree with.

Speaker 1 I don't feel the need to jump in because three of y'all are already doing that, or two of y'all already doing that. Just like I wouldn't do, I have the same thing with y'all.

Speaker 1 Did you jump me, though, with the fellas? Because I'm a guy, right? It depends. It depends.
You'll crack joke. You'll jump me with the fellas.
Crack joke. If it's a joke, if it's a joke,

Speaker 1 just like when we when Joe walked out with that TV, we all cracked up because it was funny. It's a joke, and I joke too, right? But really, Mark.
Oh, I did.

Speaker 1 You pulled back a little bit because I think that you watch, you're a student of the game, you watch it. You don't want to make Mel feel uncomfortable because you guys are colleagues from Friends.

Speaker 1 That seems like a reasonable thing to do. Colleagues from the the past.
You said, What? And she's like, What? I'm sorry?

Speaker 1 She said, I didn't want to do it because I don't want to make her uncomfortable. Yeah, I don't want to make her uncomfortable.
Why not? I don't want to make you uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 But you did a couple of times. I apologize.
Let me know what I do it next time. We can talk about it in a moment.
I didn't realize that.

Speaker 1 I didn't realize I hurt your feelings.

Speaker 1 We can hug it out. I don't want to be a bitch.
I love Corey when you beat a bitch.

Speaker 1 Curry, like, fuck you, feelings. Fuck you doing feelings, bitch ass nigga.

Speaker 1 Mel, do you.

Speaker 1 Probably not the best segue. Do you want to address the Carlos Miller tweet?

Speaker 1 Shit. Who's Carlos Miller? Carlos Miller is from 85 South.
85 South.

Speaker 1 There's a little sub-tweet out there that people just attached to our pod. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I was doom scrolling on Twitter.

Speaker 1 Stupid me. Carlos with DC in him? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, he said something. He's a homie.

Speaker 2 I'm going to paraphrase, but his tweet was something to the effect of that lady.

Speaker 1 That's old lady.

Speaker 2 He did. No, the fuck, it did not say that it said that lady I read it wrong all right

Speaker 1 lady in red

Speaker 1 is dancing with me

Speaker 2 that lady up there hates all those niggas up there yeah that's the word around town That is the word around the streets.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 1 A lot of people feel that way. I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 2 And I tell them that you love me, but they, you know, i don't care you should care because we are friends no like no i don't care what people have to say i don't give a fuck i think that um it was um it was a stupid observation

Speaker 2 and also put the fucking put put the put a name on the bullet just put a name on the fucking bullet like why sub tweet for what i don't know you like

Speaker 2 okay sure but it's just it starts a conversation that just gets fucking nasty true you know what i mean for what reason true and without really actually analyzing what took place up here and the conversation and how it could make certain parties feel.

Speaker 2 It's like just the fucking complete and total dismissal of like my feelings. Like, just because I'm upset doesn't mean I hate y'all.
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 Like, I'm a grown-ass, critically thinking woman. Like, what?

Speaker 1 Critically acclaimed.

Speaker 1 Stop it. And historically, with all the men have done to women, stop it.

Speaker 1 Stop it. I'm backing you up, nigga.
Mark, what do you think, man?

Speaker 1 I think that Roberta Flack arrangement, The strings. The fucking strings.

Speaker 1 ASAP trial.

Speaker 1 ASAP trial.

Speaker 1 What's the newest? Ish, come on, put your little Blackberry away, nigga. Come on, join us.
Top here. I was trying to find your ass in here.
I was trying to find a Carlos tweet.

Speaker 1 Outside, I was telling Ish.

Speaker 1 This guy is insane, bro.

Speaker 1 All right, 30 seconds on this.

Speaker 1 Yo, wow. 45.

Speaker 1 Just 45. Nah, I'm good, bro.

Speaker 1 All right, you'll have to say that. I'm cool.
All right, I'll talk for 45 seconds. Outside, I was admiring.
It's just hoodie. We don't have to do that, bro.

Speaker 1 I won't do it.

Speaker 1 My voice. My voice.
I used it when he walked over. Roscoe.

Speaker 1 I ain't gonna lie, nigga. What's that shit? You appropriate whatever.
You take the black shit to a whole nother level.

Speaker 1 But that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing.
I said, hey, now.

Speaker 1 Hey, now, sing now. Hold up on my picture.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's it. 45 seconds.
This weekend, team building.

Speaker 1 That's it. That's it.
I've seen enough. Let's team building.
This weekend.

Speaker 1 Team building is in full effect. But no, hold on.
So we should, but I think we should.

Speaker 1 No, I think that

Speaker 1 if it affects us, we should take certain things out.

Speaker 1 I just want to let the

Speaker 1 man was down, but if my man don't like that, then I don't stand on that. I was participating in the show.
I want to let the millions listening know that everyone here has an aux and editing power.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 1 Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 1 Because I like to bring stuff from behind the scenes on camera. Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 See? That's true. You did that.
Do that to her with the shit you just said about the tweet.

Speaker 1 So after our exchange, you go outside and bother my man.

Speaker 1 After our exchange, our conversation. Well, we were talking about something else that the audience don't know about.
Got it. And then, well, yeah.
I get that some of y'all think I'm bothersome.

Speaker 1 I get that. And I've accepted it.

Speaker 1 And by some, I mean three of y'all.

Speaker 1 And by three of y'all, I just mean flip-ish and male.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of flying with everybody else.

Speaker 1 Joe. And me and Isha really fly.
It's just like a bizarre dynamic.

Speaker 1 Not a romance. Romance, yeah.
So you and Ishmael. Not a problem.
I don't know. So who you not really fly with, though?

Speaker 1 Because when you put the word really on something, it means itches really fly. So who you not really fly with? Me and Mel?

Speaker 1 Like where are we on your fly?

Speaker 2 He looks at us as his problem children.

Speaker 1 I ain't nobody problem shot. I've been a problem with y'all my whole life, but whether you look at us on a fly meter, like you and it's just really fly, so boom.

Speaker 1 Where's Mel?

Speaker 1 Is she really fly or she just flip?

Speaker 1 Nah, me and Mel fly. Oh, so she here? We flip.
Me and Mel fly.

Speaker 1 Where you and I? We fly. So me and Mel is in the same

Speaker 1 tier. Okay.
But on different pillars.

Speaker 1 Same shit, but different pillars. Got you.
Hey, Zach Rocky, who's caught up? Who's caught up? Who's caught up? Who's caught up? I saw the...

Speaker 1 If you're not caught up, let me just catch you up. This shit ain't over.
It's a wrap. It's over.
It's over? It's done. It's not done.
Tama case. But it's done.

Speaker 1 This is a wrap. What happened?

Speaker 1 They're witnessed.

Speaker 2 Relly took the stand for five days.

Speaker 1 And just crashed out. Oh, really? Yeah, that's why he

Speaker 1 sounds like a complete nutcase up there. They've proven him to be a liar, non-credible,

Speaker 1 delusional.

Speaker 1 They've proven him to be a.

Speaker 1 Remember, we kept saying ASAP must know something that we don't know? Yep. Yeah.
Like, we were right. ASAP knew the dude was an idiot.
Ah. And if you just give an idiot enough room and rope,

Speaker 1 they'll do the work for you. They'll

Speaker 1 get it. With a qualified attorney? Yeah, yeah.
Give me mine and Rihanna's attorneys versus this dummy.

Speaker 1 We win. I'm not taking six months anywhere.
Walk me to my vehicle. What did he do on, like, that makes him...
Was it the cross examination? They caught him lying.

Speaker 1 They caught him lying on the first day.

Speaker 1 They caught him lying the first day. The calls that he said were fake calls.
They proved that he actually made the call.

Speaker 1 He threatened the call. He called during the trial.

Speaker 1 He called the homeboy that he said

Speaker 1 the call was fake during the trial and said, yo, man, why are you doing

Speaker 1 this nigga?

Speaker 1 Why are you here telling me? This nigga is a complete nutcase.

Speaker 1 And this is proven to be the money grab that ASAP and them said. ASAP, I totally apologize for saying that you should have took that six months based on the evidence or discovery.
I was wrong.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that this dude was as stupid as you knew him to be.

Speaker 1 So did they kick it yet or no? Not yet. Not yet.
No, but it should happen.

Speaker 1 The judge just asked the prosecutors if they're able to ethically continue to prosecute the case.

Speaker 1 Damn. All right.
Yeah, this is a wrapped end. That's just a wrap in.
Yeah. Really? Yep.

Speaker 1 This is over. I don't trust jurors, but it sounds like this is way faster than that.
It might not get get to all the currents. I don't think it's going to get to jurors.

Speaker 1 It might not get to the all-white jurors. Do you think it's over? But he's the only witness, right? Would he be the only major for the prosecutors? He's the major.
He's the main one.

Speaker 1 Prosecution has rested their case.

Speaker 1 Defense ain't even started.

Speaker 1 That was just on the cross.

Speaker 1 They were in there like, yo, Yohanna, what were we doing? What were we doing? Basically.

Speaker 1 He's so dumb up there, I would shoot at him again after the trial was over.

Speaker 1 He ain't.

Speaker 1 I'm the clown, right?

Speaker 1 Hey, grab the non-starter pistol

Speaker 1 now that this is over. Let's talk to him a little bit.
So, yeah, congratulations to ASAP Rocky ahead of time because this is not over yet. But anybody with common sense and I

Speaker 1 was like, this is, are you wasting our taxpayer money?

Speaker 1 And I'm getting charged. Oh, I know, they cracking in it.
Rihanna Bank. Well, ASAP got some bread.
Yeah. Yeah, nigga, probably the $4,000 hour lawyers.

Speaker 1 How much credit ASAP got?

Speaker 1 How much do we got? He got some money. What, no?

Speaker 1 If I had to guess? Yeah.

Speaker 1 30.

Speaker 1 30 M's?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe.

Speaker 1 Is that from his sponsorships and fashion deals and all that? I'm not counting on up in man pockets. No, nobody, but we can talk about it off camera.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I'll just, I don't know.
He got a couple of times. I wasn't trying to get it.
Nigga, Ishby always knows some ill shit, son. I ain't gonna lie.
He's had a successful rap career.

Speaker 1 He's had people that he put on. He's got the fashion career.
He's not broke.

Speaker 1 I would assume him to have some money from all that fashion shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Whether it's 30, 20, crew kids or something. And when I marry Rihanna, I'm going to book New Deal.
Yeah, of course. It's that part.

Speaker 1 And I hate to tell you, him saying that I don't want to lose none of my deals or none of my business shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, yo, dog.
That was fire.

Speaker 1 My wife got Fenty, nigga. I might be the face of Fenty Men's coming, any of that shit.
He was coming.

Speaker 1 He was a face. Now I'm going to roll off Fonty.

Speaker 1 Fuck you talking about, nigga. This is my shit.
The Harlem version. Congratulations to ASAP Rocky ahead of time.

Speaker 1 Homeboy.

Speaker 1 Buy humbug. Buy humbug with homeboy.
What else is there? What else is there important? Well, you're talking about charges and trials and shit.

Speaker 1 Michael Jordan's son back out there again. What do you do now?

Speaker 1 Got him in Florida. Yeah.
D-U-I and possession again. That white girl

Speaker 1 and resisting. That white girl two ways devil on touch get you every time.
Oh, man. What does everyone think?

Speaker 1 Nothing. I think he's sniffed coke.
He rich, so ain't nothing gonna happen. Nothing gonna happen to him.
He gonna get a slap. I love who y'all choose to pull out y'all freehems for.

Speaker 1 I ain't saying free nobody. You said free Poosh Icey.
No, no, I didn't. Yes, you did.
Oh, I did.

Speaker 1 What's his nickname?

Speaker 1 See it, 762. Yeah, you definitely said it.

Speaker 1 I'm with Free and Push Ice. You just ban him from all strip clubs in America.
No, as long as he can get to the studio, that's all I need. Just get to the booth.
But

Speaker 1 by the time he gets out, kill a niggas going to be out of style.

Speaker 1 He can't kill niggas no more. Killing niggas.

Speaker 1 No, but it ain't a market for it. It's a market for that.

Speaker 1 But now they're kind of moving away from that shit a little bit. They are a little bit.
If you pay attention to it. What they said he did.
Who? Who?

Speaker 1 Marcus. Marcus Jordan? Coke.
Coke. He did it.
He got caught with a drink.

Speaker 1 He got caught with a DUI that had possession of cocaine allegedly, and it resists an arrest of the other charges. I'm not saying allegedly.

Speaker 1 I know we have to say it for legal purposes, but any nigga that has a little cocaine with him during their watermelon for breakfast had it once for breakfast.

Speaker 1 He had it with him for the rest of the day. I'm not taking a drive without it if I can't eat watermelon without it.

Speaker 1 He ain't had that regular shit either. Yeah, that's a good shit.
His shit is good.

Speaker 1 Nah, his shit is good shit. He got a good shit.
I would assume.

Speaker 1 And it's just the reason why I don't want to give kids all this money unless I know they're responsible. Because he got nothing to stop him.
He's a kid. No, I mean, where's he? He's my children.

Speaker 1 I mean, just children.

Speaker 1 Same thing. I'm just saying, like, I wouldn't give,

Speaker 1 I worry that he has no end in sight because he got all the money in the world, all the lawyers.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, we literally have no expectations.

Speaker 1 That's all I'm saying. Like, it's just dangerous.
He seems like he's on a bad course right now. I hope he can get it right.

Speaker 1 He should probably get more of your vitriol than a Bronnie.

Speaker 1 I ain't got no vitriol against either, though. That's all right, brother.
I like both, though. It's all right, my brother.
I love Bronny.

Speaker 1 He's been mighty silent while Bronny been dropping 17, 19, 21, 23. In the Gatorade League, right? It's all right.

Speaker 1 In any league. Nigga, you had zero points in the fucking league in Mawa.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 And if somebody drafted me, you'd be like, why the fuck did they draft Mark? And he was a no-show.

Speaker 1 And them niggas that got drafted right after him

Speaker 1 cumulatively are averaging 12 points. Yeah, look.
And he's averaging less than that, right? Are you talking about the game? All three of them together after him are averaging 12 points.

Speaker 1 In the G League or the NBA? No, no, yeah. Yeah, he's averaging less than that in the NBA.
He's averaging less than them in the NBA. So still, you want to talk about Bronny and not Marcus Jordan?

Speaker 1 I don't have any interest in talking about Bronnie. What do you have to say to Marcus Jordan who's doing Coke with cantaloupe?

Speaker 1 First of all,

Speaker 1 if it's your money, let me tell you something. I don't have to sniff no Coke, but I'm a fan of cantaloupe.

Speaker 1 First of all, cantaloupe is delicious.

Speaker 1 Second, if it's your Coke and it's your money and you ain't hurting nobody, I don't have any judgment against you. I ain't got no, I'm not mad.
It's not his money. Who money is it? Who knows?

Speaker 1 What I'm saying is if he's stealing it, where does he work? Hold up. If it's a DUI, so you drop it.
Does he have a job? Listen to what I'm saying. He has a trust fund.
What's the job?

Speaker 1 When I say his money, what I mean is he's not stealing it. He's legally.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Marcus Jordan is hurting himself. I don't want him to hurt himself.
I hope he does better because I want him to do better, but he's not harming anybody. I don't stigmatize people who use drugs.

Speaker 1 I think it's a bad choice, but I'm not judging them for it. I think Bronny's an amazing kid.
I ain't got nothing to bad to say about Bronny.

Speaker 1 But if we talk about Marcus Jordan, I want him to make better choices because it's really dangerous. That's all.
I ain't got nothing bad to say about it. Yeah, try Coke and broccoli.

Speaker 1 Like, just try some different mixes. Or try to coke at home.

Speaker 2 Yeah, don't, like, get behind the wheel.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't drive and do that. That's a shot on the bottom.
Don't put other people at risk. On the news, every morning, I'm seeing an accident.

Speaker 1 Just this morning, somebody in a Tesla crashed into a divider over there on the highway over there. Two people, well, she died.
She died. The dude is in stable condition.

Speaker 1 But every morning on the news, they show you a drunk driver or someone driving under the influence of something that kills somebody else. Yeah.
Like, that's not fly.

Speaker 1 Especially if you're not ill with the drunk driving.

Speaker 1 No such thing.

Speaker 1 For the purpose of this audience. There you go.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. Yo, this nigga said.

Speaker 1 You can't.

Speaker 1 He's not ill with the drunk drive.

Speaker 1 I know what you're talking about. You can't say that.
You just can't. That's what you think.

Speaker 1 And I think that niggas are lick. You think who's lick? Marcus.
Oh, duh. We knew that.
No, he be having the monsters with him. Yeah.
They just showed him with

Speaker 1 another monster. Who? Because when you say monster, I maybe don't always think they're a monster.
Nicole Murphy. Oh, no, that's a monster.

Speaker 1 She's a monster. That's Godzilla.
She's a monster, but that's...

Speaker 1 You said, who made that noise?

Speaker 1 Who made that noise? The rope.

Speaker 1 Oh. Yeah.
Creaky walls.

Speaker 1 You better sit there and look cute.

Speaker 2 Are you looking at me?

Speaker 2 I can't see through this one. That shit is so

Speaker 1 tricky. The blast is tricky.
I heard you. If your breathing pattern, your breathing pattern changed like you wanted to get froggy, you better look cute.

Speaker 1 You better look cute. You was in L.A., too.

Speaker 1 You better just sit there and do your pod and hide and bars. What? You got a take? You got no cold market tank? No.
I bet. Like, you ain't got a drink take.
Sit your ass down, be cute.

Speaker 1 I know there's some gruff over there, too. It gotta be.
Give us some tea.

Speaker 2 No, I will not give us a tea.

Speaker 1 Got any tea. All right, to the rest of the room, do y'all think it's some tea? You know it's some tea there.
Nicole Murphy taking one of Mel old fucking works.

Speaker 1 Yes. And we can move on today.

Speaker 1 Mark?

Speaker 1 I think they

Speaker 1 might be. I think they asked Come on, sisters.
Cloud for your man.

Speaker 1 No, I'm sweaking the rock. I have no idea.
I don't know anything about Mel's personal life.

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 1 Don't say nothing to where when you walk in the house, you got to avoid the room of shit.

Speaker 1 They got to walk through the dent.

Speaker 1 Don't you go in that kitchen now?

Speaker 1 We could, man. The kitchen is the worst place to find your girl mad.

Speaker 1 Scrubbing the shit out of that pot.

Speaker 1 She getting it in. All the wrist action.
All right, what else is going on? No ASAP. We're done with him.
Since we're talking about Hoop. Burn has your cork.
All right.

Speaker 1 No, come on. What else we got? What else we got? Since we talk about Hoop, the NBA just had maybe

Speaker 1 the biggest trade in NBA history, maybe. It's the most surprising trade in history.

Speaker 1 I don't think it's true. It's the first time two all-pros got traded directly for one another.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 during the regular

Speaker 1 in the season. Two all-NBAs.
Mid-season. It was a shocker.
This was the most shocker. To the point that people thought that shams was just hacked.

Speaker 1 We all thought it was fake. Yeah, it didn't seem right.
It was Sintel or some shit. I'm like, yo, y'all, y'all done got caught.
I hooked y'all again. Right.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit, this is real. This is real.

Speaker 1 And whatever that broke, some other shit was heating up online. I was doing something else when there was like Luca Laker.
I was like, wait, who is a Laker? Right.

Speaker 1 It was so because Beyonce had announced her shit.

Speaker 1 Kanye was tweeting wild shit. Then they announced it.
It was all happening. Yeah, it was a lot.
Yeah, it was real. It was a fluster fucker shit.
I was like, this can't be real. This can't be real.

Speaker 1 It was trending. Luca Donchik from the Dallas Mavericks

Speaker 1 traded for Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers and Max Christie

Speaker 1 and one draft pick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And we got Luca, Keebler, or Cleber.

Speaker 1 The white boy that could shoot. That could shoot the threes.
Yeah. Tall kid.

Speaker 1 As a Laker fan, how do you feel about that trade?

Speaker 1 I'm happy for the long term. Luca's a top seven player on the face of the planet.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 So you can't turn down that with LeBron being 40, AD being inconsistent, and AD was, they said, was going to want the Super Max.

Speaker 1 I just think that you can't turn down Luca at 25, 26 years old.

Speaker 1 I also think that the style of play at the Lakers has been boring as fuck. So LA demands a certain style.
Like we want to be Hollywood Lakers. We want to be running, gunning, and exciting.

Speaker 1 That shit that we be doing now, that should have put you to sleep. I just don't see this.
I mean, I get it long term, right? You say, we need a new face. We need a new superstar for 10 years.

Speaker 1 Luca's the guy. That makes sense to me.
But if you're trying to win with LeBron now, this team is worse today than it was three days ago.

Speaker 1 What are the odds that the Lakers was going to go to the championship with this team as currently constructing? Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't.

Speaker 1 So would you lose? So I agree with the strategy. I'm saying,

Speaker 1 what I'm saying is, but I can't say that. But you punt on LeBron.
But it means you're punting on LeBron. And I don't think the Lakers,

Speaker 1 the Lakers for the past few years, it seems casually, because I'm not like a Laker guy. But it seemed like

Speaker 1 they've adopted some of the Spurs regular season thinking, like, okay, let's do what we got to do regular season. We don't need to be a first, second, or third seed because

Speaker 1 we can beat Houston, who's the fourth seed. We can beat the Grizzlies, who's whatever seed, and then we'll take on that schedule.

Speaker 1 That's how they won the fucking 20, the last chip they won in the bubble with nobody at them going in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was years ago, and it's been back.

Speaker 1 Three or four. But this is the thing.
All of the teams in the West have gotten better. With Denver still being the pinnacle.

Speaker 1 The Lakers are not drafting players and or making trades to contend with Denver. If Denver is the top shotters, we're not getting no big bodies.
They're not. I'm going to say OKC is tough.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bro, until you dethrone Denver, they him. They've been dethroned already.
Yeah, they weren't in the championship. Dallas went to the finals.
Dallas went to the finals last year.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm saying if.

Speaker 1 But all right, I'm going to give you that. What I'm saying is this.
Who beat the thunder?

Speaker 1 Or was that the Wolves? I'm sorry. Niggas are going to get people to contend with Joker.
That's what Dallas just did. We got two big boys.
We got Lively and the other kid,

Speaker 1 young kid, Gafford. Now we're going to go get AD, who defends him pretty good.
He's long, he's quick. He defends him pretty well.
But

Speaker 1 we need some other niggas to contend with Joker in the playoffs. And that's how the great teams do.
Midseason, they make a trade that is looking for

Speaker 1 like the Pistons did when they got Rashid Wallace.

Speaker 1 Or what y'all did when y'all got Mutombo? I don't want us to spend too much time breaking down the basketball side of things on this because I don't think anything about this is a basketball move.

Speaker 1 No, that's right. Like, if this were a basketball move,

Speaker 1 the thinking is you would, if I'm trading my franchise player, all in all NBA first team, led the league in scoring, just took us to the finals, then I'm opening up the negotiations to every team.

Speaker 1 Hey, what you got for me? What you got for me? What you got for me? It's being reported that they only called the Lakers and they were like, What do you think of this?

Speaker 1 And then to not get any draft picks back. You know, I'm a a Knick fan.
We spent five picks on Mikael Bridges.

Speaker 1 Rudy Gobert was, I think, six picks.

Speaker 1 So basketball common sense says if we're trading Luca, we're getting back a haul. That didn't happen.

Speaker 1 So I put my tinfoil hat on. I see fans out there put their tinfoil hat on.
I like that, too. My tinfoil hat was bad.

Speaker 1 I went back to the Chris Paul Laker Vito trade and was like, shit, if we've been complaining about ratings all season,

Speaker 1 what better way to spice this up than to put Luca in L.A. with LeBron and get that moving, put him over here in Dallas, another major, a major city, and let's just try to spice this up.

Speaker 1 Also, this trade happened. Me and Corey was at the Knicks game that night.

Speaker 1 And before the game started, we looked up at the names on the board and we was like, oh, the Knicks just clapped them by about 50.

Speaker 1 I didn't know none of them niggas names. Then the game started.
Of course, I felt old. I'm sitting there like, is that Doug Christie's son?

Speaker 1 Sure enough. Sure is.
That was Doug Christie's son. And he nice.
Yeah, 17. And he nice.
And was playing good defense on Jalen Brunson. But anyway,

Speaker 1 I didn't see anything abnormal at the game. LeBron was stronger, faster, quicker, and smarter than everybody on the court still at 40 years old.

Speaker 1 And Rich Paul was there. Everybody was there.
That was like a big game. They say that that was the most expensive regular season ticket all season.

Speaker 1 I could believe that. It was prime time.
It was ESPN, a lot of cameras.

Speaker 1 The garden was more packed than I've seen in recent years. Spike Lee, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, fucking Steve Stowell came in there with that beautiful ass.

Speaker 1 Louis Coke came over to me at halftime, like, yo, you good, man? I heard some stories.

Speaker 1 I ain't going to keep addressing my sleepwalking shit to every new person I see either. I said, yeah, man,

Speaker 1 a little bit sleepwalking, man. He had some real good advice.
Real good advice. Don't wear clothes?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 No. He said, Yo,

Speaker 1 just relax. Magnesium.
Just relax. Got you, dog.

Speaker 1 Give me some magnesium. I got some.

Speaker 1 I just ordered it. You got something in the cat in there? You look like a magnesium nigga? You might need it to keep you asleep.
You need magnesium. I take magnesium.
Oh, okay. Y'all can.

Speaker 1 You spray it on your feet, bro. It'll give you a really, really sound step.
That's it. I need something stronger than that.
Plus, the dust version of that.

Speaker 1 Megatron. Give me something to say.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey, give me the Marcus Jordan version

Speaker 1 of magnesium. But anyway, I'm saying that to say I didn't see anything unusual at the game.
LeBron looked like he got a triple-double, not even trying sleep. Nothing seemed weird.

Speaker 1 Do y'all think it's possible that this trade happened without LeBron knowing, without Jason Kidd knowing, without any of these people knowing the way they were?

Speaker 1 From what I'm hearing, and I don't have no inside knowledge of this, but what the insiders are saying is that they spoke, like Sham said, he knows, he can guarantee that LeBron did not know.

Speaker 1 Other reporters said LeBron was at dinner when he found out and that

Speaker 1 his head was still spinning. Luca just bought a house last week.
15 million. 15 million.
In Dallas. In Dallas.

Speaker 1 So Luca definitely didn't know. And he would have no reason to think he's going to get traded.
So I really believe this is one of those rare times where

Speaker 1 LeBron was completely not in the know, which says to me, again, they're punting on LeBron.

Speaker 1 This is the first time in the history of LeBron's career where a move like that would be made without his approval. And that's scary to me.

Speaker 1 My tin foil hat is on too, but I'm thinking less about, oh, the league is trying to make the Lakers good again. Although,

Speaker 1 I ain't mad at that. Oh, no, the brighter 10-foil-you're hats.
Tinfoil hat wasn't that? No, yeah, that was me being stupid. The brighter tinfoil hat, dude.
Dude, they're taking the power back.

Speaker 1 Oh, see, I think it's something else. No, I'm talking about Brian is Drake.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what I was going to say, because that's what it sounds like from

Speaker 1 analogy.

Speaker 1 He's 40. Luca being traded.

Speaker 1 He's no longer eligible for the Supermax. Right, which is fucked up.

Speaker 1 And AD. AD, no longer eligible.
So now.

Speaker 1 Just for context for the audience, he would have got a $360 million extension in the summer that he's no longer eligible for because he won't have the tenure in with the same team.

Speaker 1 So it's going to cost him like $40, $50 million. Both of them.
Yeah, both of them.

Speaker 1 This is their way of now. This is what the tenfold hat.
This is their way of kind of... They found a loophole

Speaker 1 in these big-ass collective bargaining.

Speaker 1 That might be it.

Speaker 2 So was that the only reason why?

Speaker 1 Because they were both eligible for the business. Not the only, but I don't think.
It could drop. No, because this is what I think.

Speaker 1 I think there's something about Luca that Dallas knows that we don't know. And I think in about six months, everybody's going to be like, oh, that's why they traded him.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm hearing from Dallas beat reporters that he has

Speaker 1 weight issues, conditioning issues, attitude issues. But then there are people who are saying that they don't think he's a winner.
They just don't think he's a winner. And he doesn't play defense.

Speaker 1 And so they don't want to invest that in somebody who they know they can never win with. And so they're selling high.

Speaker 1 The reason I don't believe the last part is the main reason is because like Joe said, then you open it up to the whole league. You let everybody take a bid.
You get the best offer.

Speaker 1 I think they're trying to get

Speaker 1 somebody unhealthy unhealthy off their plate before people find out, before you can kick the tires on them. Or get it while the value is still high.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And if you start bringing too many people and they want medical reports to ask them questions, that nigga's a top seven player in the world. So is Joel and B, right?

Speaker 1 When he's healthy, but if you find out that he can't walk anymore,

Speaker 1 we'll see. And I'm saying he could be.
I think I'm more because right now he's having calf issues. Next thing is yeah, Achilles.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 his fat ass needs to get in the gym and get some cardio going. Let me play

Speaker 1 this tin foil hat shit from my man KFC Barstool. I went and read all of the same shit that he's about to refer to.

Speaker 1 But it makes some sense.

Speaker 5 Get your tinfoil hats out, folks, because there's a new conspiracy theory that the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic on purpose to tank so that they could either get their casino resort approved or force the team to move to Vegas.

Speaker 3 So the long-term plan has always been for the Mavericks to turn their arena into a casino resort entertainment complex.

Speaker 3 Now, when Mark Cuban sold his majority shares to Miriam Adelson, the idea was that one day he would partner with Las Vegas Sands to create this entire gambling complex.

Speaker 3 However, according to this Texas lawyer and litigator, he says that despite the fact that the Mavericks are giving a ton of money to Texas lobbyists, they are not getting this bill approved to move them from Dallas to Austin to create the entertainment complex.

Speaker 3 So his theory is that their threat to move the team to Las Vegas is not really credible if they are a top team competing for an NBA championship.

Speaker 3 However, if they suck, there's a lot more of a realistic chance that the NBA would move cities.

Speaker 3 And what's the best way for your team to all of a sudden suck is to just give away a top five player and your franchise cornerstone.

Speaker 3 You talk all about his weight and his conditioning and his super max and his defense and all that. This all always comes down to money.

Speaker 3 Now that theory, which doesn't even seem like that much of a conspiracy, makes a lot more sense than the alternative.

Speaker 3 There's a reason why no other NBA executives were contacted about potential trade options. Because they didn't want a good trade return.

Speaker 5 There's a reason why Danny Ainge, who was involved in the trade, didn't know that Luca was a part of it.

Speaker 3 Because they needed to make sure it went through despite being absolutely ridiculous so that they could intentionally suck.

Speaker 3 Because now the Texas government has to decide whether they want to lose the team to Vegas or approve this Austin complex.

Speaker 3 And if you're competing for a championship with Luka Doncic, it's a lot easier for them to call the Mavericks bluff to move him to another city.

Speaker 1 I don't know about you, but that entire theory seems pretty wild, but pretty true.

Speaker 1 I can't rock with it because I think Dallas is a better team today than they were pre-trade.

Speaker 1 I I think Dallas fares better in the long term in the Western Conference than the long term? No, not the longer term.

Speaker 1 Oh, this year. Oh, you mean like

Speaker 1 they could go further? They'll go further this year. Oh, they should have got 10 draft picks for Luca.
Yeah. So we can't say long term.
Not with AD.

Speaker 1 Yes, with AD. Nah.

Speaker 1 I disagree. Nah.
You can get an elite player and draft picks.

Speaker 1 You're not going to get AD in 10 draft picks, but you can get an elite player and 10 draft picks, which is what you want when you get rid of the 25-year-old superstar.

Speaker 1 But for this year, yeah, they're a more balanced team. They're a more smarter team.
The Lakers are a worst team right now.

Speaker 1 And they got a guy who handles, who's the most ball-dominant player in the NBA by far. Two of the most ball-dominant players in the NBA.
But Luca is literally the most, and he doesn't play defense.

Speaker 1 And LeBron's not a spot-up guy. The team didn't get better right now, but long-term, it's a brilliant move for the Lakers if he's healthy.
But I'm trying to tell y'all, I'm worried.

Speaker 1 He weighs 270 pounds, according to some reports right now.

Speaker 1 He could have a bad leg. He's an injury report.
I'm just saying, you may find out there was a reason why Dallas did this. That makes a whole lot of money.
It could be some shit above our pay grade.

Speaker 1 The gentleman, and y'all could Google this at home yourself because I'm live on there. I'm not doing it.
But the gentleman that they're talking about who

Speaker 1 has the majority share. Salady.

Speaker 1 Well, there's a man. I'll get his name when y'all keep talking, but there's a man who's involved in this group that has the majority share of the Mavericks.

Speaker 1 And they say that this guy owns like a bunch of shit, like i.e. the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 They say he owns some of the Lakers as well.

Speaker 1 That owned some of Dallas?

Speaker 1 Is that possible? It's not possible. It's illegal.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's illegal. Let me look it up.
You can't own two NBA franchises.

Speaker 1 It's against the NBA bylaws. It's against the NBA bylaws to have ownership and interest in two teams.
That I know for a fact.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 that's a hell of a conspiracy theory. But again, at the end of the day, maybe somebody just saw footage from the finals last year.
Well, that's what I said.

Speaker 1 If you saw that footage, then, yeah, that nigga, Luca, looked a mess out there. He did.
And he don't look 270 when he's getting off the jet. Not even LA.
He did edit the press covers.

Speaker 1 He did not look 270. I think more will be revealed on this.
I think so. I think we'll find out more information of things that may or may not be basketball related.

Speaker 1 How do y'all think the Lakers look with LeBron and Luca? I ain't gonna lie, but the Knicks lost that game. We lost that game without A.D.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I think.

Speaker 1 I don't think the Lakers are as bad as people paying them out to be Vanderbilt came back He looked like a brick house out there fucking Austin Reeves Dalton Schnett fucking Hitchhi Maro Chimichiri whatever his name is like they got a bunch of six eight six nine guys that I don't think they're as far away as people say I always thought they were one strong player away from being a real contender.

Speaker 1 They needed a big because AD doesn't want to play the doesn't want to play the five. I don't want to play.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 They needed another perimeter shooter and they needed some bench depth. And they need another playmaker.

Speaker 1 But some of those are. If I'm the Lakers, I'm trying to go get

Speaker 1 Clint Capella.

Speaker 1 Like, dudes like that, that Luca could give the Alley Yoop to that just want to play defense, get boards, play the, like, they need pieces. To make Luca effective, you need pieces.

Speaker 1 The same way with LeBron, you need spot-up shooters for the penetrating kick, all of that shit. You got a shoe.
Nobody thinks the Lakers are finished. I don't think that we finished either.

Speaker 1 Nobody thinks they're finished. You got two amazing people, but I think that the role players would have to get some bump-ups.

Speaker 1 You need a hell of a big now. I mean,

Speaker 1 AD gave you

Speaker 1 Capella, yes, but they, and I don't get into the weeds of basketball, but LeBron's not a good enough shooter at this point. You need rollers, but you need guys that can facilitate pick and pops.

Speaker 1 And Wayne got Cleaver.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, he's a great, you know, I like, I like,

Speaker 1 but the Lakers just aren't as good right now as they were.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if anybody wants to play ball. Danny Angel was like, if I had known this, my trade, because

Speaker 1 Utah was a trade. I was into the space.
Yeah, Utah. And he he was like, if I had known this was going to the Lakers, I wouldn't have done it.
Now that everybody's looking,

Speaker 1 I don't know what happens. Another thing, real fast, Mark Cuban said, he doesn't know what the fuck that happened.
He don't. You know, he wasn't trading Luca.
Right.

Speaker 1 He's like, I would have never, basically, I would have never traded Luca. I would have never done this.
And that's why I think they kept it on the low. That's crazy.
Dog, you got to think about this.

Speaker 1 Rich Paul represents Braun and AD.

Speaker 1 Braun didn't know about the trade. They had to, in some way, shape, or form contact his representation or no.
You get what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like, you got to contact somebody's agent or their representation. After you make the trade.
I'm assuming. After you make the trade.
That's true.

Speaker 1 After you make the trade.

Speaker 1 Like, if a person, I'm not familiar with that. I'm either.
I don't know for a fact. If he doesn't have, like, a no-trade clause, do we have to contact him? You don't.

Speaker 1 You'll find out when it's done. Yo, because he had a trade kicker.
Right, but you can approve the kicker after the trade. The trade kicker is just like, I got to pay you.

Speaker 1 I'm penalizing this team for the trade. And he waived the trade kicker.
He waved

Speaker 1 it after. Yeah, but yeah, you don't have to tell anybody anything ahead of time.
Guys be finding out watching TV.

Speaker 1 Guys be watching, find out from like their friends, but yo, I just heard you just got traded. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we'll see. I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 There's some other big trades happening in San Antonio, other people, so maybe people are willing to put that in the middle of the day.

Speaker 1 San Antonio is who I would be afraid of. They are.
They coming? Yeah, they are. That's who I would be afraid of.

Speaker 1 That culture and that organization just says to me that, and that chip they won against the heat, that was some of the best brand of basketball I've ever seen. That's my favorite basketball to watch.

Speaker 1 like in my life, the things they were doing with Patty Mills and them niggas.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 if they go and if they draft a big, they know how to build around. That De'Aaron Fox trade, I told y'all that Castle dude is nice.

Speaker 1 They've got De'Aaron Fox without trading none of their pieces.

Speaker 1 They're one quality player.

Speaker 1 And they have somebody's draft pick this year. I want to say, let me not misspeak.
They got somebody's draft pick who don't seem to be headed in the right direction.

Speaker 1 Top six protected. So let them fuck around.
No, it's unprotected. You talking about the Sixers pick?

Speaker 1 Whatever pick the Spurs have this season,

Speaker 1 another team.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. It's unprotected.
Yes, that's true. I thought you talked about the Sixers as top six picks.
So in the event... Atlanta.

Speaker 1 Oh, Atlanta, because our homeboy got hurt.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 The defensive dude that they like. The dude that they got from Murray.

Speaker 1 Jante Murray. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about with Atlanta's injury to that dude, that all defensive dude that they got over there.

Speaker 1 They don't seem to be headed in the right direction this season. If the Spurs fuck around and get a top one, two, or three pick, I think, listen, it's going to get scary.

Speaker 1 If they get Cooper Flag, it's a rap. And Cooper Flag look like a Spur.
Nigga, Ace Bailey just had 49 the other night off three dribbles.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't give a fuck about Cooper Flag. Give me the first or second.
That's true.

Speaker 1 It's a good draft this year. It's a good draft.
Yo, the Spurs got a lot. The Spurs have the unprotected 2025 pick from the Hawks.

Speaker 1 Another unprotected Hawks pick in 2027. An unprotected pick from either Dallas or Minnesota in 2030, and unprotected swaps with the Hawks in 2026 and the Kings in 2031.

Speaker 1 And they got their own picks that they get for themselves. And then they got a protected pick from somebody else.
They can't take one through 14.

Speaker 1 But you can get a 16, 17 player in a draft if you pop a vitch and make that shit work. He's just an amazing dude at developing talent.
And drafting talent, RC drafts talent.

Speaker 1 You look at Manu Ginobili, you look at Kawhi Pierre,

Speaker 1 Tony Carter, Tony Parker. They're just the 49th pick or something.
They draft draft low and do well. And they get the right pick.

Speaker 1 They get the boards DIs and the guys that know how to play positional basketball.

Speaker 1 Bas the fucking ball.

Speaker 1 Basketball. Shout out to Parker.

Speaker 1 God damn. Bash the fucking ball.
That's what they do.

Speaker 1 That's what they do.

Speaker 1 That's what they do. Nobody bigger than the system.

Speaker 1 Yo, on some other stuff, I was watching.

Speaker 1 I didn't see the fight. I only saw.
Papoos come out. I only saw the clip.
I only saw the knockout pick. Oh, the clip.
Oh, the slip with the hook. Yeah, with the shit.

Speaker 1 She threw that lazy ass left, and then boop. Tell the people what she did.
With the dodrop. It wasn't even that lazy.
Tell the people what fight you're talking about. Clarissa Shields.

Speaker 1 Clarissa Shields. I'm sorry.
Clarissa Shields had a big fight. What was the sister's name she fought? Exactly.

Speaker 1 Clarissa Shields had a fight. Yeah, right.
I guess that's all that matters.

Speaker 1 But the other shorty was tall, looked like she had some hands, looked like she had a tough jaw. Yeah, and she was talking crazy at the press conference, like they always do.

Speaker 1 Then my man Pap came out, alphabetical slaughter nigga.

Speaker 1 Big Pat.

Speaker 1 Stupid ass niggas on the internet are going to call Pap the best support boyfriend.

Speaker 2 Danielle Perkins was her name.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yo.
A support boyfriend. His boyfriend.
Like a support.

Speaker 1 Pat be listening sometimes, too, so let me shout him out. Pap!

Speaker 1 Big Pat!

Speaker 1 A support boyfriend. That's crazy.
That is crazy. But she hit him.
Is he the best?

Speaker 1 Who's the other support boyfriend? The one on trial? No, there's another one, too. No.
There's another one, too. At the Grammys, he whispered that your wire bra is showing.

Speaker 1 Who?

Speaker 1 Jay, the greatest rapper of all time. Oh, I didn't see that.

Speaker 2 Yeah. When she was about to go up on the stage, he reached in for the hug and was like, shh, she was like, he went up there.

Speaker 1 The wire. But he shows up, no ego.
But that's just niggas being niggas. Hey, you're nipple with all girls.
Shit, fast-ass fixes.

Speaker 1 That's what he said. That's probably what he whispered for some shit.

Speaker 1 The fuck are you going? Like, what are you doing? What the fuck is wrong with you? I still think Hove might be the biggest support boyfriend because he got

Speaker 1 the most to come down from. I think that is disrespectful to call Hove a support boyfriend.
I ain't doing it. And since your first day here, you'd be disrespecting Hove.

Speaker 1 I don't even be listening to him. I never disrespected Hove.
I love Hove. Just know that Hove be listening to you.
Y'all think anything that ain't praised is disrespect?

Speaker 1 No, we think you be disrespectful. I said Hove is the top five MC.
Oh, you disrespected Hove. What? No, he's top five of B.
You watch him a lot. I ain't going to rehash it.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 But I'm just saying, in general, I love Hove. You know, Hove is my top five.
But I'm just saying he shows a lot of love and support to Beyonce, and I think it's really dope, especially since

Speaker 1 when you're the greatest thing in your field and you just got to sit there and applaud, that shit is hard. Did you listen to the joint I sent you?

Speaker 1 I sent you the album that was put together of all records that Hoven Beans are on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You walking back at all? We can't rehash this. All right, we'll have to.

Speaker 1 We can't rehash this. Cool.
There you go. Smart man.
Can't they rehash this?

Speaker 1 Want to talk about these Beyoncé tour dates since we on Hove? Yeah, yeah, sure. And what those tickets might be like? Oh, they're going to be stupid.
Jesus Christ. And price?

Speaker 1 She's coming to New York for dates. For sure.
She's coming to New York.

Speaker 1 Are you going? You send her mama love?

Speaker 1 100%. I'm going this time.
I'm going. I'm going.

Speaker 1 I'm going. Going without my mama.
I'm going to get some money. Going without my mom, too.

Speaker 1 My mom went to the last joint. She's going to get a shit with some tassels on it.

Speaker 1 My girl just said she wanted to go. I said, fam.
Fam? What? What? No, she said she wanted to go to another state. I said, I'm with it.
Wait, you going too? Yeah, but she doesn't have no trust.

Speaker 1 That's what I like about Ish, man. Why she ain't wanna go New Year? You play ball, nigga.
Because it's a different experience when you go do that shit in other spots. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Especially if you go to like Houston.

Speaker 1 Houston is a spot to say that.

Speaker 1 If you go to Sweden, they go to Switzerland.

Speaker 1 Oh, that shit.

Speaker 1 You got it, dude. I forgot who we were talking about.

Speaker 1 It wasn't exactly.

Speaker 1 You going mail? You're going to go to Deontay? Nigga, I said he going to the Switzerland show. Yeah, yeah.
Y'all can have the States.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd like to go this time. Nice.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting there.

Speaker 1 You're going to buy a ticket? Cowboy boots and hat?

Speaker 2 Absolutely Luli.

Speaker 1 Maybe some chaps.

Speaker 2 That would be the appropriate place to wear them

Speaker 1 nicole murphy going she got dc on the fourth of june nicole murphy wearing chaps that night yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 1 you heard me i heard you okay

Speaker 1 fireworks i'm sometimes i'm with y'all on the out-of-town shows the out of town be fire beyonce in new york i sound new york i don't care it sounds

Speaker 1 i ain't going out of of town to see the show unless it's Houston. That would be the one I would do in the States.
Got it. But Houston was crazy for the last one, Renaissance.
You went?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, I did. You got the silver on?

Speaker 1 I didn't want to go, but I'm going to send my lady to this show with a girlfriend. I feel like that's a good let her go with a girlfriend.
Nigga, don't miss a chance to send his lady somewhere.

Speaker 1 Yo, that's his bag. That's his bag.
Yo, he don't miss a chance to be home alone, boy.

Speaker 1 Macaulay Copen, nigga. That's my man.
Macaulay Copen. Michelle, and Nigga Gochello got a show and watch.

Speaker 1 Go on out there. Two weeks.
Two weeks.

Speaker 1 I've been fucking her name out my whole life.

Speaker 2 Michelle and Digocello.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Michelle. She's winning Grammy.

Speaker 1 She got to have nothing in common with her.

Speaker 1 I love Michelle for a very long time.

Speaker 2 I was actually going to play one of her songs in the middle. She's female.

Speaker 1 It's like she won a Grammy. Yeah, for sure.
Nora Jones won another Grammy. I'm like, yo, dog, Nora Jones will be winning a Grammy every year.
Every fucking year.

Speaker 1 And nigga, don't even know she got a project. I know.
Michelle's Jones was tight, though. She She did the James Baldwin album.
It was really, really good.

Speaker 1 I love Michelle. I love all of all her stuff.
She loves everybody. Everybody with a pussy.

Speaker 1 It's okay. Seems like a good thing.
I think so.

Speaker 1 It works out. You can tell we never had a restraint in order to put on them.

Speaker 1 Nigga love all the girls. You'll meet the bad ones at some point, or maybe not.

Speaker 1 Playing with house money at this point, Ken.

Speaker 1 I'm good.

Speaker 1 I'm out the danger zone. Beyonce,

Speaker 1 I will see you at the New York show. For sure.
I will see you there. I'm very excited about this.
I missed the last run when they was wearing all the aluminum foil and shit.

Speaker 1 That was the one that I was doing. I sent my mom, sent my girl.
They could sit this one out, though. You heard? Yeah.
They could sit this one out, and it's for the dogs.

Speaker 1 You really looking forward to this show?

Speaker 1 Yes. Is it because you like this album more than a Renaissance? No.
That's why I'm surprised.

Speaker 1 I wasn't the biggest fan of either of those albums. I just think the Beyoncé Live is an experience.
But you know, when you go to this one,

Speaker 1 you're going to get a majority of this album.

Speaker 1 I absolutely loved her Netflix performance. Okay.
Then you can be like, I absolutely love her Netflix performance. I don't care about the album.
I like the album.

Speaker 1 I like the album.

Speaker 1 I like the album.

Speaker 1 Anybody had something to say about the Beyonce album, we got to shut the fuck up now, I think.

Speaker 1 Do we?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Album of the year. Just one album of the year.
This was her son of a woman, though. And

Speaker 1 country album.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 Yeah, because

Speaker 2 she was robbed. Like, the the Beyoncé album, the self-titled one, Lemonade, those are the ones that should have won the best album.

Speaker 1 Lemonade shows. So

Speaker 1 the majority of people are in agreeing that this was like a we owe you award. Yes.

Speaker 1 So no, we don't have to shut the fuck up. Because again, this album wasn't the best album, but we are glad that Beyonce won.

Speaker 1 So we're just going to look the other way and not really speak what we really think. I think that the image is already already.
No, y'all got to shut the fuck up about that album. Oh, yo.

Speaker 1 Y'all got to shut the fuck up. It's a fuck up song if it went album of the year, even if it's I on you.
No, you don't. Shit.
I disagree.

Speaker 1 I disagree. That ain't going to change nothing.

Speaker 1 The only people that should have something to say about that Beyoncé album is Maze.

Speaker 1 Not Frankie Beverly. Oh, that's what I was thinking.

Speaker 1 Maze, though. Frankie Beverly's happy.
Some checks coming in. Mays know, they can't wait to catch up tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Mays don't like that shit they did. All that HBC shit.

Speaker 1 Mays home. Tight, buddy.
Fuck you talking about.

Speaker 1 Yo, you different, bro.

Speaker 1 May's going to catch up.

Speaker 1 Oh, we've got to squash it. Man, I think Julia think that Julia gonna be beating the shit.

Speaker 1 That's niggas in linen suits.

Speaker 1 How we know Julia could scrap?

Speaker 1 You know, he didn't tested that nigga. Listen, let me tell you.
I'm gonna tell you. Look, I was about to say, we don't know.
We assume he could scrap. I'm gonna bet $99.50 out of 100, though.

Speaker 1 If that nigga gets busy, that nigga learned some Wing Chung and some more shit in this last 20 years i'm with you i agree and that nigga the size of a mountain yeah they know everything i'm gonna bet it i'm with you just because we ain't heard yeah right that man ain't nobody tried to yeah might have been all right with it we got it off so smooth we ain't even hear about it i'm cool what is this up here about uh a fantastic four trailer that i haven't seen yeah man marvel dropped the uh fantastic four trailer comes out i believe it's july talk to him for the trailer the movie the the the trailer dropped for the movie you know the characters yeah okay you said drops in July.

The trailer dropped already. Yeah, it dropped this.
It's fire. It's fire.

Speaker 1 I was. Huh? Who's thing? And Brie Richardson.
I gotta look up the cast.

Speaker 1 I gotta look up the cash.

Speaker 1 No stars. But who the fuck is Brie Richards? Y'all know I've been off Marvel for a minute.
This looks good. I was like, oh shit, we might be back.
Like, this got me.

Speaker 1 It's a couple movies that if they do them right, they could bring back. They had Galactus in here.
I'm like, okay. Oh,

Speaker 1 that's different. That's it.
That's different.

Speaker 1 That's different. Let's get this right.
I'm in there like swimwear. That's me.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I am going to see that when it drops now that you told me about it. Can't wait to see the trailer.
When I went to go see this corny flight risk movie the other night, they did show the trailer for,

Speaker 1 they showed the coming attraction for whatever, the black, black Captain America.

Speaker 1 Anthony Mackenzie. Yeah, I've seen that.

Speaker 1 Captain America. That's right.
Brave in the world.

Speaker 1 I like my Captain America white as well.

Speaker 1 Eben Moss backrack is playing thing.

Speaker 1 Something.

Speaker 1 Excuse me.

Speaker 1 Give me a phone.

Speaker 1 Give me a phone. And the movie.

Speaker 1 July 25th is the date. My bad.

Speaker 1 Give me your fucking phone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I'm with that, though. You know, they said that Marvel was back in negotiation with your man.
Jonathan Majors. Ooh.
Slow down because I do want to talk about that. Slow down for a second.

Speaker 1 Told you.

Speaker 1 Ain't Captain America one of those things where we're not wrong to prefer it white? You're right. I don't know why they did that.
I said the same shit about 007 and niggas got mad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, some shit we just used to being white. That's a little bit different.
007 could use a little black, but not Captain America.

Speaker 1 They made Captain America black and the Hulk red and they come to traction.

Speaker 1 And it looked good. It looked good.
I do. And it does look good.
And it hasn't been a bad Captain America movie. Not one of them.
You think we're spoiled with just the other cap? We just spoiled.

Speaker 1 That's all it is. He did a good job.
Same thing. Nobody wants to see another Iron Man nigga? Every Captain America movies about terrorists.
You want to see

Speaker 1 another person playing.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Nobody wants to see another person play Iron Man. We need Robert Downey Jr., nigga.
For sure. Same thing with Wolverine.
For sure.

Speaker 1 On to your Jonathan Majors point about him being back in talks with Marvel. Marvel.

Speaker 1 We stepped on. Maybe I stepped on myself last part, but I was saying I'm back on the Jonathan Majors bandwagon because of that trailer that they showed for the, what movie is that? Where he's doing.

Speaker 1 The bodybuilding shit right the bodybuilding

Speaker 1 there you go the bodybuilding now i've had a lot of jokes about jonathan major and megan good and their relationship and all types of shit just because it's been fun for the last few years

Speaker 1 watching that trailer though it's real easy that that talent talent like that that he's showcasing in that trailer jumps off the screen it's real easy to see that even if you don't have no

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 1 Even if you don't have any history with spotting that type of talent. Like, no, we was making all the jokes about making good while she did.
She's standing by about her.

Speaker 1 Dog, she probably seen the trailer, knew that you can't keep that type of acting down, and held him down. Did y'all see that trailer? I did not.

Speaker 1 He's a good actor. We said that.

Speaker 1 I think that's an understatement.

Speaker 1 That's amazing.

Speaker 1 I need to see the trailer for me to know that. I watched Lovecraft Country.

Speaker 1 I've seen him act. It was like, okay, this nigga's ill.

Speaker 1 That's Michael B. Jordan.
Go make it it right, yo.

Speaker 1 Make it right. That nigga said, I'm out.
Them niggas used that boy.

Speaker 1 Use that boy and got out of Dodge on him. Go ahead and make that right, Michael Borden.

Speaker 2 We got another movie coming out. Who? Michael B.
Jordan. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, his movie career was never in question.

Speaker 1 Okay. Is that one of the homeboys movies?

Speaker 1 Ryan Kugler? I think so. Yes.
Yeah. Who plays the thing?

Speaker 1 Jeffrey Oswald Copper Pot.

Speaker 1 So, I mean,

Speaker 1 what is the update on the conversation between Jonathan Majors and Marvel? Nothing. They just back and negotiating.
They're saying that it's promising that they're going to cast him in K.

Speaker 1 Marvel seen that. Marvel's seen that bodybuilding trailer.

Speaker 1 And that's the trailer that movie is from, 2021 or whatever. Then he got canceled, so they pulled the movie.
And that movie is making its way to movie theaters in a couple months.

Speaker 1 Watch.

Speaker 1 Talking about some Marvel called. Nigga, if y'all don't call, watch what this movie do after y'all blacklisted me and blackballed me and told everybody my career was over.
Watch what that movie does.

Speaker 1 I think somebody up here said that

Speaker 1 he's going to come back. I don't know which one it was.

Speaker 1 Smell Dick Riding. Somebody said up here like, it was me.

Speaker 2 Now I'm Dick Riding.

Speaker 1 No, you wasn't Dick Riding. Somebody said he's going to come back.
Fam, the money don't stop. Everybody said.
No, but it was looking a little shaky when he was doing that running around.

Speaker 1 We was laughing. Nigga was running down the block.
Joe said they had to. Not when he was doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 Joe said I never. The play dance was a lot.
Wait, not that, Joe. We talked about when he was running from the white lady.
He said, I never even saw cameras like that.

Speaker 1 He said, the camera, watch that nigga run from down the block. He said, I never even saw cameras like that.
How the fuck they got that? So we thought it was over. That body building movie, my guy,

Speaker 1 I think, yeah.

Speaker 1 Shout out to him, man. I'm happy to hear, you know, that they back in negotiation because it was, you know, he started tap dancing and shit.
He looked crazy, Mark. Nigga was, hmm.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I thought he was done.

Speaker 1 Megan ain't leaving that nigga side. That trail was too good.

Speaker 1 You charge him extra now, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You charge him who extra? The studio. The studio.
Yeah. What studio?

Speaker 2 Corey thinks that they're going to get him on the cheap because he's desperate.

Speaker 1 They probably are for the first one. They are.
They are. But on the re-up, that's when you got to get it all back.
And he better make some money with Kango.

Speaker 1 And then he cracked their head on the next one. But Marvel fucked around and get that nigga in a three-movie deal.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 We're going to have five options on this contract.

Speaker 1 Jonathan Majors, congratulations. We will be watching.
I'll definitely be watching that bodybuilding movie.

Speaker 1 And we'll see what happens with the Fantastic Four. I can't wait to see that as well.
Yo, did y'all hear this story about

Speaker 1 this lady that met a dude over the internet?

Speaker 1 One of Pakistan lady. Yes, yes.
She went to Pakistan. She won't leave.

Speaker 1 That's not that lady either. Wayne, can please say the story.
All right, so look.

Speaker 1 She met a dude. She's 30-something.
She met a 19-year-old dude in Pakistan. Wow.
So they fell in love over the internet. She flew over there, supposed to be married.

Speaker 1 She gets over there, and the family and all of that is like, nah. Hell no.

Speaker 1 Fuck out of here. This ain't gonna happen.

Speaker 1 But she wouldn't leave.

Speaker 1 So she done did a sit-in outside their door. She done held a press conference.
Now she over there saying, I want to clean up Pakistan.

Speaker 1 I want to clean the streets.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that was the backstory. So that lady's wild.
That lady from New York.

Speaker 1 They said she she's from Brooklyn. Yeah, Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 She's definitely from Brooklyn. She went up there.
They had a press conference with the movie. I saw the microphone.
I didn't even see the story. And the mics on the table.

Speaker 1 I was like, what is going on? She's like, yo, I'm telling y'all.

Speaker 1 She said, where's my man at? She's looking around. Where my man at? Yo, she's telling them she's the wife of dude.
Like, that's how she's introducing herself.

Speaker 1 Fuck, fam. What's that? What's her grape? She's saying, like, you owe me a marriage now?

Speaker 1 She met him online and she went to Pakistan to look for him. But why she gonna leave? That's like my man.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 so say you. Come on, Joe.
That probably. So, like, two people got being on that.

Speaker 1 That's my man. It might have been.
He wasn't even on it, too.

Speaker 1 She might have got over there on some bullshit. And her family, his family was like, yo, I don't know what you're talking about.
And you're too old. Fuck out of here.
My son, 19. No, he's not married.

Speaker 1 30, 19 is crazy anyway. Oh, wait, he's 19.
He's 19. She's like 33 or so.
That's crazy anyway. Y'all can't do that.

Speaker 1 Oh, my fucking son,

Speaker 1 my daughter got married

Speaker 1 three days ago, right? I just went over to the crib.

Speaker 1 Wait, what?

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 You just reminded me of this shit. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's an ish story right there. Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 That's some issue. What? Congratulations.
Congratulations. No!

Speaker 1 I mean, sure, fine. It's my oldest daughter, bitch.
I mean, she already lived with the dude or whatever, but I went over there just to pick up some chicken.

Speaker 1 But you didn't go to the wedding? There was no wedding. Oh.

Speaker 2 That's my point. They went to the people?

Speaker 1 I guess. I went to the crib.
She's wearing a ring.

Speaker 1 I said, oh you weren't you know because you know niggas have back and forth with engagements and they didn't warn in years they've been together for i said oh yo you wearing a ring she said oh yeah i got married two days ago

Speaker 1 and he's like hey dad oh oh oh rakeem hit you with the hey dad he hit me with the hey dad how did you feel i'm not that's what i wanted to ask y'all

Speaker 1 i asked you first

Speaker 1 i don't know how i'm supposed to i feel away but i don't feel away You don't feel away because you want to

Speaker 1 that's why that's how I know that all of your I support women exactly thoughts to be a sham. Because whenever it gets to your daughter, your views get back to nigga.

Speaker 1 You got him. You got him.
She didn't.

Speaker 1 Just so you know. Yes, it is a nigga position.
Because it's her choice. She could do what she wants.
She can. I just wanted to tell me.
She's got a nigga position.

Speaker 1 And maybe get yourself a motherfucker. She don't got to tell you.

Speaker 1 She don't smell.

Speaker 2 The father of the bride, it's crazy that he would want to be invited to his daughter's wedding.

Speaker 1 There was no wedding. But that's how I'm going to be.
Tell her.

Speaker 1 They probably talked. Mark was too broke to pay for the wedding.
So?

Speaker 1 Tell me. Not while being up here.
We're going to justice of the peace. Tell me.

Speaker 1 If you got a good relationship with your daughter, I think it's only right that you be like, hey, just letting you know, yeah, blah, blah, blah. Popped clean.
Theoretically, yes.

Speaker 1 I just don't feel like you have to. And maybe she feels like Mark, are you judgmental a lot? Yo, dog, you fuck with dude.
Have you met him? You fuck with me? Yeah, I know. They call me dad.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, so how long they've been? They call me dad too. Yes, huh? How long have they been together?

Speaker 1 Seven years.

Speaker 1 And then they've been engaged.

Speaker 1 Mark, stop. It's over.
And it's over, bro. And they better.
That's the part where I don't don't care. They got engaged early, then they broke up, and they got back together.

Speaker 1 A whole bunch of stuff, right? Very judgmental. Good, dad.
I'm just saying, like, she told me, like, because I saw her. I don't even know if I...
They had been married 10 days. It had been 10 days.

Speaker 1 10 days is a lot of days. I got you.
10 days. And

Speaker 1 I like him. Got you.
You know what I mean? I just, I don't know. I'm feeling well.
You could like somebody, but not like them for your daughter. How often do you speak to your daughter? Every day.

Speaker 1 He's supposed to have been informed. He's definitely supposed to have been informed.
If he speaks to his daughter on a daily basis,

Speaker 1 24. Not if you're a judgmental person.
I disagree with that. You're putting that on him.
I'm not putting it on him. I could just...
No,

Speaker 1 I'm just saying it has to be a reason your daughter didn't tell you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to tell you. And he can fill away.
I think I know the reason. He can't.

Speaker 1 He can't fill away. Mark's right to fill away, but you also have to look at it from her perspective.
A lot of times...

Speaker 1 Kids do things and they don't want to hear criticism from their parents. I think that's what it is.
Like, I know you're going to tell me

Speaker 1 the thing I don't want to hear. And love is spontaneous sometimes.
Seven years. Seven years.
But filling out that justice of the world. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's your partner. Two kids.

Speaker 1 Seven years. That's your partner.
And they got kids, you said? Yeah, too.

Speaker 1 Great. So our life is what it is.
But while she's cooking one day, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 She's going to get married right now. Let's go.
That, I think, is mad common in relationships. Because you could imagine what he told her when she was 17, 18, what Mark told her.
Yo, you got to

Speaker 1 focus on school. You got your life ahead of you.
You got to make an appointment.

Speaker 1 That's what it is. You got to make an appointment.
You got to make an appointment.

Speaker 1 And it's got going down to the justice of the peace. I don't think, because I know somebody that did, you can't just do that.
You got to make an appointment, my nigga.

Speaker 1 And if you speak to your dad every single day, then something as big as that don't just slip through the cracks. I don't have it.

Speaker 1 What's your mom need to do? Wait, slow down.

Speaker 1 And what I'm saying, it didn't slip through the cracks. Cool.

Speaker 1 It was a plan. So to his original question, should he, could he feel some type of way? You fucking ain't right.
Of course you could. You have to.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. I think you should.
Would you feel some type of way? Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay. I would absolutely feel some way.
You're just going to ask them? I just ask people with daughters. Yeah, because I don't make girls.

Speaker 1 I wanted to say that. I was waiting for that.
Don't even bring it this way.

Speaker 1 I would feel some type of way, but I also understand. Yeah, sorry.
Dr. King, what would you say? He do like that nigga.

Speaker 1 But I also understand

Speaker 1 my daughter's reasoning. Not say you don't understand, but I would understand.

Speaker 1 I'm very judgmental and critical as well. So I know if she did that, she's just doing it because she didn't want to hear my mouth, and she knew that I would judge her on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and she's daughter's 24. You said seven years, that means she was together within what, 17, right? So I'm pretty sure that you talked about.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that you talked to her, discussed with her about college, having more time. Don't, you know, you gave her those talks that you

Speaker 1 and niggas don't want to hear that shit more. How old is the dude

Speaker 1 28?

Speaker 1 Yo, y'all niggas sound crazy to me.

Speaker 1 Yo, dog, he's already accepted the man. They've been together seven years.
They got two kids. They live together.
I don't give a fuck what my father thinks at this point.

Speaker 1 I speak to my father every day. That don't mean that

Speaker 1 what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 I have. I have.
I was going over to pick up the chicken.

Speaker 1 He barbed me. He called him dad, my nigga.
For the first time.

Speaker 1 He just got to be happy. That don't mean before we have a decent relationship, you got to have a good enough relationship.
You ain't calling some no strange nigga dad.

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck what happens.

Speaker 1 I married your daughter, so I will call you dad to be. Not if we ain't cool.
Let one of them niggas come home and marry Princess and you ain't cool with him. And he'd be like, hey, dad.
Hey, dad.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. You go marry him and merry Fistmiss, that nigga, right on up.
No, that's wrong.

Speaker 1 You might do him Grace. Everybody said he all say grace first.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing that you're missing.

Speaker 1 You're thinking, and I agree with you. He has the right to feel the way, but

Speaker 1 you're not thinking, you're not widening your mind to think from her perspective. From

Speaker 1 her point of view. You think from a dad's dad's perspective.
From her point of view, is that my dad is very critical on how I moved in life. I could just tell.

Speaker 1 You could just tell the type of guy Mark is. I'm not like that.
I'm not sure if I can do it.

Speaker 1 No, you are putting that on.

Speaker 1 I think it's the opposite. From Mark, come on.

Speaker 1 One minute, I coddle and I cape, and now I'm down to play Joe Jackson. No, I don't think it's Joe Jackson.
Which one is you see? And that's what happens.

Speaker 1 That's why the women be on your side because you make something, you make disagreeing so extreme. Not Joe Jackson.
I know y'all joking around and shit, and I don't want to step on it.

Speaker 1 From the people I know most times when two people in love that have been together for a long time don't have a wedding and do have something to do with the parents thank you I'm not calling you Joe Jackson bro that's too extreme but I'm I yeah I do know that you're a guy that that puts education first like look where you come from why wouldn't you try to pass that down to your children I watch you with your youngest child dedicate not dedicate but I watch how you are teaching them Spanish and stuff.

Speaker 1 I could just tell the type of man you are. I was around you, not a lot, but I watch how you are.
So I'm pretty sure when it it comes to your daughters, you tell them about education is important.

Speaker 1 You don't have to go out there and get pregnant early. You don't have to, you gave them those talks, Mark.
And be clear, you're speaking from a position of privilege.

Speaker 1 Because even in your complaint, your complaint is, damn, I wish she would have told me that she got married versus who the fuck is this nigga that she married and is he taking the best care of my daughter?

Speaker 1 Like you speaking through a marked lens. Yeah, if it was the second thing, I'd be a lot, I would feel, I would really feel away and I wouldn't be confused about it.

Speaker 1 So then you could tell yourself that there's really nothing to worry about. Probably.
That's what I say. But you know, there's that thing.
Yeah, but you still want to know. And that's what I said.

Speaker 1 I feel like I'm not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 Hey, y'all, talking over each other. Hold up, mute up.
I'll let y'all talk over those bullshit for a minute.

Speaker 1 Damn, I forgot my point. This is what I'm saying.
Y'all, girl dads,

Speaker 1 and you too, nigga. I know you're tough, but you're a girl dad.
Oh, you're a girl dad, too. Oh, yeah, he was skipping through the mall when I seen him with his daughter.
Oh, bitch.

Speaker 1 Girl dads. I know that this is disturbing for y'all.

Speaker 1 There will come a day

Speaker 1 where another nigga's daddy.

Speaker 1 You don't have to say

Speaker 1 daddy,

Speaker 1 there's gonna come a day where you have to pass the reins. And I'm saying girl dads because it's funny, but on the flip side, like it's the same thing.
I agree.

Speaker 1 Like the moms be holding on to the sons and then the wife come and say, hey, no, it's my gig now. I agree.

Speaker 1 So if another nigga is dad or holding it down or taking care of or being all of those things, why you can't can't be just good with your place in the escalator?

Speaker 1 What's saying that you're not good with your place in the escalator for being in a communicational chain?

Speaker 2 And not only that.

Speaker 1 He's saying he disapproved of that. She didn't keep it a secret.
She didn't keep it a secret. Well, she kept it.

Speaker 2 Well, she did, kind of, sort of.

Speaker 1 They've been married for 10 days. It's only because I said, oh, what's that on your hand? But it don't matter.
I could keep a secret with my parents coming to my house.

Speaker 1 And also, what's your purpose of his life? As a man that for chicken saw the ring and she told him. She didn't happen to be talking to him on the phone.

Speaker 1 He said, that's why I asked, how often do y'all speak? Right? He said they speak daily.

Speaker 1 So if you got married on Wednesday and I spoke to you Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and you don't mention a monumental event in your life, then if you are keeping it a secret,

Speaker 1 there's a reason for it. Cool, it could be a reason.
It's still a secret. Both things can be true.
I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 1 Because if I have no problem telling you and I just haven't told you yet, that's you calling it a secret. How meticulous talk is that you're going to be talking about it? Can you be

Speaker 1 a real drink? Yo, if he didn't see the ring, she don't tell him. Yo, no, I talk talk to my parents every day.
My dad was real mad over the weekend when he found out I had high blood pressure.

Speaker 1 He screamed at my mom. Yo, why I don't know that our son has high blood pressure? We talk every day.
So what is some things that you're not going to know? I don't think that's going to be.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you see,

Speaker 1 I'm saying you can speak to somebody every day and them not tell you something. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that is true. There are things that they may not tell.
Yo, you know,

Speaker 1 yo, it's a new daddy in town, yo. I'm not, I'm done.

Speaker 1 It's a new daddy in town.

Speaker 1 Yo, all y'all daughters, hopefully one day,

Speaker 1 if the cycle of love goes right,

Speaker 1 there will be a new daddy in town. You can't say that.
And all y'all gonna do is come over, pick up some chicken that Duke made and piece it up. Dab him, yo, what season you use on this?

Speaker 1 Yeah, text away, nigga. Shit, what's up? Girl dads? I'm gonna give you some old bae.

Speaker 1 Nigga, what I'm telling you is, if your father's mad over high blood pressure, imagine how this father should feel over his wife getting mad. I mean, his daughter getting married.

Speaker 1 If you got married and kidding, 10 days later, he'd be hot. I want to fight with it.
Oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 How should he feel and what you're going to do about it?

Speaker 1 Nothing.

Speaker 1 You can feel away, though. You ain't got to do nothing.

Speaker 1 We let a lot of shit go.

Speaker 1 And you can tell your daughter that you thought a way about it, that you didn't tell me that.

Speaker 2 You can ask the question as to why you didn't tell me.

Speaker 2 And maybe you discover what the issue is.

Speaker 1 Did you ask?

Speaker 1 Not yet. No, he bitched up.

Speaker 1 He bitched up.

Speaker 1 He told the fucking thing. He's got the guys first to get the mail.

Speaker 1 Because part of me was like, maybe I shouldn't. Like I said, I started with maybe I shouldn't feel it way.

Speaker 1 Maybe I'm just feeling this way out of some principle that I'm actually wrong.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's why I said, let me think about that. See, that's what's fly about having boys.
Because if one of my sons get married without telling me, chest caved in.

Speaker 1 I was about to say, don't act like you ain't gonna feel that type of way. I am, and his chest gonna feel tight.
Why? You just said he ain't gotta tell you shit. He don't.

Speaker 1 And I don't have to tell him this punch is coming. I'm gonna move his feet ahead to that chest.
Well, you did, what, over the weekend? Before you even go. Yeah, with a bang.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so that's my. I'm talking shit.
I'm joking.

Speaker 1 You'll feel some type of way. Stop sitting up here playing tough, dog.
If your son got married and you didn't know nothing about it, your feelings would be crushed.

Speaker 1 Bishop, I said he should feel some type of way. I just also feel that her body, her boyfriend, her relationship, her choice.
Well, his choice.

Speaker 1 I feel like all that fly shit he talks up here with every other girl that don't matter at all

Speaker 1 should apply to his daughter. It does.
It's her choice. I'm not saying she was wrong for doing it.
Tuck your feelings and your hands

Speaker 1 in your waistline.

Speaker 1 Tuck them feelings in the box of brief fucking drawstrap. You know the deal.
Tuck them away. Fair enough.
So he's wearing hate.

Speaker 1 You had two daughters, right? Nigga, I'm my father going some Tommy Hill figure. I don't know what I got on.
That's a true. That's a Supreme Shit song.

Speaker 1 Have a play with me, boy. Burberry.
Have a play with me, boy. Or Ralph Lawrence.
You go now.

Speaker 1 You go now. What you got on? Some Burlington co-factor.
Ralph Laura? He got on some Burlington boy. Wait, you really asking what kind of drawers he got on? You really want to shot?

Speaker 1 You play yourself, nigga. Cottons.
Play yourself. Cottons.
Play yourself.

Speaker 1 These are the ones one in the box. $70.
What you got One in a box. And they're not $70.

Speaker 1 Please take me.

Speaker 1 You're talking to me, nigga.

Speaker 1 What do you got?

Speaker 1 They're wearing the same underwear, just different fucking colours.

Speaker 1 What is me?

Speaker 1 You got a fucking proman.

Speaker 1 Yo, don't worry.

Speaker 1 I'm going to wear them, too. I'm going to wear them too.

Speaker 1 He's wearing the ones that's in Target. He does.

Speaker 1 I don't got these in the Target. I know.

Speaker 1 Yo, he always competing. He's wearing the ones that come in the 10-pack.

Speaker 1 These don't come in the 10-pack. These don't need parks.

Speaker 1 My bad.

Speaker 1 I apologize. Yo, you need to.
I apologize then. Yo, look, it's him.
My nigga's not going to be able to do it. When they get to like hour three, y'all get to the gay party to say, y'all.

Speaker 1 This nigga said, what kind of drawers you got on under them sweats? I didn't say nothing.

Speaker 1 But you didn't have to show him. No, you tried to play me like I got on some fruit of balloons.
He did have to show me.

Speaker 1 Because if I had on drawers that was way iller than his, he wouldn't be my friend. So he did have to show me.

Speaker 1 Because he got to let me know, nigga, watch who you're talking to. So that's the thing that y'all go with, bro, man.
I get it.

Speaker 1 What's the old Ralph Lawrence shit you got? What's the other shits? Chaps? Chaps? Chaps. Who got on chaps?

Speaker 1 Chaps don't even make drawers.

Speaker 1 I thought S made some shits for you. Yo.

Speaker 1 Even better.

Speaker 1 Fuck what you talk about, stupid. I'm talking shit.
I'm talking shit.

Speaker 1 I don't have nothing else to do.

Speaker 1 Are you still determined to find out what kind of drawers? Oh, no, I'm just looking. I thought it was an S dot card.
I was like, nigga, you're taking the Jay-Z shit too far, nigga.

Speaker 1 Let me see. The events.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Tell me about the Rumble. They got the Primarks on.
The Royal Rumble? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble. Your bag.

Speaker 1 That's all I saw. Oh, man.
Congratulations to Jay Uso. You saw Speed in them?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I saw Speed. Yeah, I saw Speed.
He got Speed in the Rumble. And people keep tagging me about Speed and Kai.
I saw them.

Speaker 1 You wasn't there? No, I was at my own Rumble.

Speaker 1 You was Rumble? No.

Speaker 1 The Royal Rumble was good, man. I thought they were going to John Cena.
I was kind of surprised that Jey Uso won.

Speaker 1 Congratulations to him. They've been stumping him for years and stuff.

Speaker 1 It was a pretty good show, the clips that I caught. I couldn't watch the whole thing because I was in the middle of doing a stream.

Speaker 1 But, yeah.

Speaker 1 Gotcha.

Speaker 1 How was your show?

Speaker 1 What was your event, overall success? Yeah. Outside of the drama.
It was a smash. It was a success.

Speaker 1 It hit hard.

Speaker 1 No, it was successful. I mean, you know, we have some tweaking to do,

Speaker 1 but I'm just happy that with the support of everyone, you know,

Speaker 1 how many people tuned in?

Speaker 1 Like before the nonsense, y'all numbers was looking good.

Speaker 2 After the nonsense, we did they could get better.

Speaker 1 You know, yeah,

Speaker 1 yo.

Speaker 1 Why you do that, man? You know, I'm not afraid to have any conversation. Don't do that, Joe.

Speaker 1 I'm down with you if you're ready to have a decent conversation and not be insulting yeah i'm down he said i'm not ready no

Speaker 1 i'm not mature man i'm not now tell me he said no now not but now i'm asking you i have nothing to say on this topic congratulations on a very successful event uh

Speaker 1 i've spoken to amani about what I think personally and professionally. I don't think that's for the airwaves, but I'm really happy.
I'm really happy that you had a successful event.

Speaker 1 And congratulations. Don't do that.
No, don't do that. I appreciate that, that, but don't do that.
Because that's not how you feel. Don't fucking grace.
He's being diplomatic.

Speaker 1 No, fuck this diplomatic man. He's giving you grace.

Speaker 1 Don't give me grace. I don't want grace.
And that shit feel away. Oh, Grace definitely feel away.

Speaker 1 I saw Grace. We saw Grace.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 shout out to Imani. Shout out to everybody that participated.
In the room, 24 hours. I watched.

Speaker 1 Thank you. I appreciate it.
I watched a little bit too. Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 Me and Joe were watching you set up when we were doing some.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 the support was there. I mean, you know,

Speaker 1 we watched them set up. And then the next day, when I couldn't figure out how to buy it, my girl bought it on the late night, and we just shared the screen.
Ooh, what a watch.

Speaker 1 When you share the screen with your girl and get checking out. On the phone? Yes.

Speaker 1 Did you turn it sideways at least? So are you.

Speaker 1 Well, you know, they might help you out. Let's finish.
Go ahead. I'm not going to finish this.
No, don't forget to finish it.

Speaker 1 I think that, you know, being diplomatic is great. And

Speaker 1 I just want to share, because I do believe in this. If I could do it to you, I could do it to myself.

Speaker 1 Caught a temper tantrum over there, you know, and I had to go to the bathroom in Corey's bathroom and just compose myself and think. And I kind of agree with what you're saying.

Speaker 1 Just feel like the timing of it sometimes be all.

Speaker 1 What was said? I don't know.

Speaker 1 And I wasn't in here. They don't know.
I just came in here with someone.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying anything.

Speaker 1 Do you not want me to talk about it? Because you could just tell me, Flip, I don't want you to talk about it. I don't want to talk about that part of it.

Speaker 1 If you want to talk about how much of a success your event was, I'm totally fine with that. Yo, all right.
Don't do that, yo. Seriously.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right. So, were the views as good as you wanted them to be? Yeah, it could be better, but.
That nigga double-whammed them. It was good.
It was great. It was great.
Solid, solid.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a great event, man. I charged for that.
I did charge for that. Twice.

Speaker 1 I tried to upgrade to get it, but the app was, it wasn't letting me do it through the Patreon app, and I tried to log on through the browser. It was given to me.

Speaker 1 that charged twice yeah

Speaker 1 what do you mean i mean it was a fee to become a flip patreon member

Speaker 1 and then it was seemed like a pay-per-view fee that i picked no that's not true

Speaker 1 stop that's not true joe stop did it no i didn't do it it was worth it thank you i think so too let me get a round of applause again yeah yeah

Speaker 1 i'll talk about this later y'all because he ain't gonna do it and i want to talk about it on patreon when my man come he ain't gonna do it you know i mean he as as as your man is not coming

Speaker 1 okay as an older

Speaker 1 might not see this building paul me watch yourself as my man Melchie Cabrera and Robinson can all

Speaker 1 as my man you know he put me to the side told me how he felt about the event and

Speaker 1 I acted a little you know we had a little back and forth about it but he was what he's saying wasn't wrong it's just I didn't like to hear it at that moment because I'd be on some ignorant shit I don't even want to hear it I understand what he was saying but it's just how you say it to me.

Speaker 1 So now his angle is to just highlight how great it was and shit like that.

Speaker 1 And that's what he's going to do. So because I would love to get in the conversation.
I mean, there's another way to think about that, right?

Speaker 1 Which is you can criticize off-air, but in public, there's a united front of respect and love, so you can support it. Exactly.
True, I got it. It's another way to think about it.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 And, like, what I was saying to you off-air was like a serious matter, and I had that talk already. I had it.
I said what I needed to say to the person I needed to say it to. And I love him.

Speaker 1 Like, it's not an on-air. I know you do.
It's not like an on-air thing. I love him too.
So.

Speaker 1 What is why you look at me like that, nigga? Bro, I didn't say a thing. Would you be looking at me?

Speaker 1 You were speaking. I'm uncomfortable.
Shout out to Ish2.

Speaker 1 Shout out to y'all, man. It's each one, teach one.

Speaker 1 You know, one for all for one, man. We all learn.
We learn in real time in this content space. We are learning how to navigate, and especially in business.

Speaker 1 And I give credit all the time. You know, I learned how to

Speaker 1 do better business while being up here. I learned from y'all niggas.
So I, you know. And sometimes, here's the truth.

Speaker 1 When you learn from somebody and they're criticizing you and you feel like you do the best that you do, you're going to react.

Speaker 1 It's not like a parent, but that's just, you're going to react if you don't know how to

Speaker 1 manage your emotions. Tame your emotions and take constructive criticism.
And if you've been reacting this way your whole life, you're just doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 And that's why sometimes I'm thankful to be around my niggas so you could go, you know, just take some time to think and then realize, like, okay, I get what I'm saying. You ever do therapy?

Speaker 1 No, I don't believe in it. If you want to try to have a little bit of this talk on Patreon, I'm down.
Let's do it respectfully. Let's do it mature.
I do like adults. Yes, I do.

Speaker 1 I feel like that shit we did over there. No, you have my word.
No.

Speaker 1 And she exposed it back. Special treatment.

Speaker 1 My sister exposed it. Special treatment.
No, she exposed it. She said, that shit you did over there, like, she just be throwing me.
I'm like, what's up, man? I'm going to get fired soon.

Speaker 1 Mel wants you to get fired. She does.
Mel do want you to get fired.

Speaker 1 He don't need your help.

Speaker 1 If I get fired, would you speak like this? I told you that.

Speaker 2 No, no.

Speaker 1 Can I ask a question about firing?

Speaker 1 I like when you figure it out. And then I'm moving on.

Speaker 1 Then I'm moving on.

Speaker 1 If any of y'all got fired, and I know it's probably inappropriate to talk about that here, but hypothetically, if anybody got fired, would y'all want to talk to me first?

Speaker 1 What do you mean? Ian is doing the firing. Letting us go.
You're like an email of facts or some shit.

Speaker 1 Would y'all want to talk to me?

Speaker 2 Oh, is this like a trade conversation?

Speaker 1 Ian won't do that.

Speaker 2 Meaning, like, apparently these players had no idea that they were being traded. Their agents didn't know, blah, blah, blah.
So,

Speaker 1 yeah. Yeah.
I'd be mad at shit if I got just a note from Ian. Like, hey, we're going our separate ways and we're moving a different direction.
But what is there that I would be saying? Same shit.

Speaker 1 We want to know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 I didn't come here for Ian, and I didn't come here through Ian. So

Speaker 1 if you're the guy that brings me in and you're the guy I talked to about this, and you're the reason I'm here, then yeah, I would expect you to call me and be like, Yo, this ain't working out. Me too.

Speaker 1 Otherwise, I would feel like you were avoiding confrontation and you were hiding behind him. Same, but what if he was? Well, that's what he's doing.
That's why,

Speaker 1 then that would be the reality. Now, that's why I would feel away, and I would think that would be dead wrong.
I agree with you. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 Yo, listen,

Speaker 1 he's like prepared for bed. All right,

Speaker 1 yo, Monk. All right, just checking.
This is awkward.

Speaker 1 Wait, did you answer?

Speaker 2 No, I agreed with him. Of course you did.
That was, but that was. So that was what I was saying.

Speaker 1 Because listen, I think that's a crocker shit. When you talk about Patreon, when he suspended me, nobody knew who they said.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 they don't share anything.

Speaker 1 But why shouldn't we have known that? I told you why I wasn't. You just give me a look.

Speaker 1 How do I even get in this conversation? I just looked at my man face. I just call first, if that ever happens.
Not text. A call, you're saying.
Not a text. Yeah.
A call.

Speaker 1 Yo, dog, how you doing with you? Everything good? All right, check this out. Yep.
No, I don't want that. I want straight to the point.
Yo.

Speaker 1 I thought of a fly way to do it, too.

Speaker 1 I'm listening.

Speaker 1 I would still pay for the next month. Oh, man.
That's normal. Oh.

Speaker 1 It's actually low.

Speaker 1 It is. One month, right?

Speaker 1 I'm going to pay for the next month.

Speaker 1 Listen, this song I'm about to play for you guys, you've been sleeping on this one, buddy.

Speaker 1 All right, don't get sent. It was a hypothetical, but I thought about it with all the Luca shit and some other things.

Speaker 1 Jeez, man.

Speaker 1 Me and Amani probably gonna be out in the streets. We're probably gonna go out.
You can't do that. I think.

Speaker 1 Girls love karaoke.

Speaker 1 All right, I'll buy the song. I'll buy the song.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 Scott God.

Speaker 1 What if you know you did something fireable?

Speaker 1 My final question. Especially up here, I would be like, you still owe me a call.
Because a lot of fireable stuff happens.

Speaker 1 They're going trick words. Fireable shit happens every 10 minutes.
They're going trick word. Which one?

Speaker 1 Oh, man. All right.
Let me hit find a Roberta Flack slap.

Speaker 1 Hey, yo, everybody talking about this Pakistan lady, yo. She wouldn't leave.

Speaker 1 Everybody talking about this and she's the best story on the internet. Dog, that shit is hilarious.
She's the weirdest shit. Her name is Onisia Robinson, the queen of Pakistan.

Speaker 1 She refused to leave until the government paid her to leave.

Speaker 2 Is she even Pakistani?

Speaker 1 No, she's from Brooklyn. Okay.

Speaker 2 She could have been Pakistani in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 I mean, she really just like a lot of she's black, black girl? I think that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm learning.
Go watch.

Speaker 1 I gotta look this shit up. Put Pakistan in the search on Twitter.
That's it.

Speaker 1 Damn, I wanted to talk to y'all about China's response to our tariffs.

Speaker 1 Everybody's response. Yeah, everybody.

Speaker 1 I'm not so familiar with everybody's response. Anybody talking crazy?

Speaker 1 I just heard what China had to say on the news this morning. It did sound a little spooky.
What'd they say?

Speaker 2 You don't want to do this.

Speaker 1 You're putting 10% on plastic, 15% on oil, electronics, cars, sneakers. It's not going to work.
Yeah. All types of shit.

Speaker 1 What your man did is... Jumped out the window.
Yeah. No, but he promised the American people that on day one, their prices would drop and they would get more bang for their buck.

Speaker 1 The shit that he is doing is totally to the contrary for most American people that are broke and that are struggling out here.

Speaker 1 Now, I ain't gonna disrespect nobody and say broke, that are struggling out here, and a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Speaker 1 So now when you start putting, even if it's a small 10%, 15% on certain key items that are necessities, that shit is detrimental to some niggas' households. Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 So the rich billionaire motherfuckers that he's chilling with, they're not going to feel it.

Speaker 1 Like when we go to the gas station, my nigga, I don't even know how much gas costs. To be totally honest, I'm not trying to be a dick, but I don't know how much gas costs.

Speaker 1 I don't know how much milk costs. We just put the shit in the cart and buy it.
Everybody else out here don't feel like that. True.
I don't do that shit. What?

Speaker 1 I keep an eye on

Speaker 1 it. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that.

Speaker 2 I'm still around looking for the gas station that is under 30%.

Speaker 1 My nigga, I need gas. My car,

Speaker 1 and I'm going to go.

Speaker 1 I'm buying gas.

Speaker 1 You get what I'm saying? So the shit that he's doing doing is going to increase, especially temporarily, the price of damn near everything we consume. You don't have American

Speaker 1 taxpayers' best interest at heart when you do shit like that abruptly. And I'm not disagreeing with his overall sentiment that I think some of these things should be done.

Speaker 1 I think that we should become less dependent upon other countries and other nations, but that has to be done over a long period of time.

Speaker 1 You can't just stop that shit right now and say, yo, even lay it, get down or lay down.

Speaker 1 I just think it's bad for the American people agreed and also basically picking a fight with allies with everybody yeah i know with not with with everybody but why are you picking a fight with the friendly with your friends you know quote-unquote friends canada mexico this you look at them like users he don't look at them like friends yeah he's been he say america been too friendly yeah and we need to change it that's what he's saying and i mean my thinking is either which way the tariffs go it'll be the american people they have to pay for it

Speaker 1 it is I'm telling y'all,

Speaker 1 we had this on a pod before. Dog, when he was in office before, it was COVID.
It was a bunch of other shit going on, but he tried some of that tariff shit before.

Speaker 1 Bro, everything at Home Depot was damn near double. Like, the prices on certain goods are electrical wire, right? Now, couple this with the construction industry, no disrespect.

Speaker 1 A bunch of construction people that work in construction field are immigrants, and a lot of them are illegal. So I saw a report the other day where a nigga said he got 43 workers.

Speaker 1 Nine motherfuckers showed up.

Speaker 1 Nine out of 43, my nigga, that's less than 25 of your workforce so now that job stops right and that's we're gonna see that nationwide then number two now you add double or at least one and a half times on certain key items in the construction field building is a part of our gdp right all of that now ceases you the country up doing some stupid

Speaker 1 even if you i know last fall we called americans lazy i don't know if i'm rolling with that but in even if you find people to come to work over here, certainly it's not going to be anywhere near the same rate that they go to work for over there.

Speaker 1 there. Yeah, or the efficiency, bro.
Some of these niggas been working in construction since they came from over there.

Speaker 1 So now we come over here,

Speaker 1 we're going to train all of our high schoolers to become efficient in the trades. That's cool and that's dope.
But it takes years to get up to speed.

Speaker 1 Or the counter to that is maybe that's where AI comes in. If you start building our factories and shit over here and now we, that's the way that we implement AI in the future.

Speaker 1 It still results in jobs. And it takes time.
And it takes time to even implement that and get it up to running. And we're still going to end up paying for it.

Speaker 1 And then we're going to to dump fucking for a while. And the fact of the matter is, it's a world economy now.
It has been for a long time. Like, you're trying to go back to some 50s, 60s.

Speaker 1 He's saying that. He's saying that.
And he ain't all the way wrong.

Speaker 1 I'm with you all. I don't think he's all the way wrong.
He's not all the way wrong. He's saying we are being

Speaker 1 way more

Speaker 1 lenient. And a lot of people are leaning on us.
And they have built up their economies off of us. He's not wrong.

Speaker 1 But also, we get the benefit of that. When we can go go to China and outsource some shit that costs $20,

Speaker 1 but over here, you're paying somebody $20 an hour to produce those goods. There's a trade-off in that.
So all of his man in them, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 The niggas that's getting billionaires, getting filthy, fucking rich, they get the benefit of using Chinese labor or Bangladesh or Mexico or any other country that has cheap labor.

Speaker 1 Y'all getting the benefit of that when y'all getting 900% markups on y'all shit. To get it made over here, you're not going to get the same profit margin.
You got to pick one or the other, my nigga.

Speaker 1 You can't take both.

Speaker 1 And so that's why I think he's fucking, he's going to, and the American people are going to feel the brunt of that. For sure.
You hear the other thing that they're doing because of Trump?

Speaker 1 They took in racism out of the end zones for the Super Bowl. What? Bro, they are taking anything black, anything racial, anything, anything out of everything.

Speaker 1 School books, all that shit, bro.

Speaker 1 It's rough.

Speaker 1 Shit look a little spooky. Yeah.
They're about to start talking about slavery nationwide. Oh, yeah.
Listen, it was a great part. Don't say scared people.
We watch it. Like, come on.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 It's your man.

Speaker 1 Heal the world. All right.
I got a slap. I got a slap.
Let's hear it. I got a slap.

Speaker 1 I got a slap. I had a part of the show, too.
It was pretty fast. Let's see.
What's your favorite lie that you have ever told? Whether you got

Speaker 1 caught or not? How impressed were you with yourself?

Speaker 1 That is from Jamelo.

Speaker 1 Don't all talk at once.

Speaker 1 I've told some lies where I was pretty impressed with myself. The one that sticks out for me is when I went to open gym on Bayview in Jersey City on a Wednesday from 8 p.m.

Speaker 1 to 10 p.m., left my MySpace page up in the crib. Shorty got home earlier than she was supposed to, seen a bunch of things that she wasn't supposed to see.

Speaker 1 Nigga, I left. I never left a full court game so fast.
But anyway, I end up having my homegirl pretend to text me something as the girl to say that this wasn't real and all types of shit.

Speaker 1 And it worked.

Speaker 1 I bet you, by golly, wow.

Speaker 1 It didn't, because you spoke to me. No,

Speaker 1 I don't even know what you're talking about. It just didn't work.
They just want us to tell a lie to make it.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay, maybe. You know what I mean? Well, I'll take that one too.
Dang work.

Speaker 1 Hey, suppress your real feelings to please me. Dang it.

Speaker 1 I'm with that. Hey, you're a bit.

Speaker 1 How about y'all?

Speaker 1 A lie you told where you were really impressed with yourself. Like, oh, shit.
Oh.

Speaker 1 That it worked. Yes.

Speaker 1 My sleep is queued up. Yeah, please.

Speaker 1 I mean, the guy paid $50. I can't think of why.
You got it.

Speaker 1 $50 don't go a long way though.

Speaker 1 We'll try again and have one. Hey, we'll try to answer it next pod, man.
I bet that was the lie. How about that?

Speaker 1 No, I'll try.

Speaker 2 I don't have one already at the bit. Sorry.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with one of the joints I really love, which was Baptizing Fear.

Speaker 1 I fell asleep in the tub. I was fed with paralysis.

Speaker 1 My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in. Couldn't scream for help.
I just slowly felt the pressure hit. Moving one toe was the only form of motion left.

Speaker 1 Can't breathe for air,

Speaker 1 can't breathe.

Speaker 1 Trying to remember everything that my preacher said. Trying to write my wrongs, my regrets.
Filling up my head, all the times I dodge dead. This can't be the way it ends, no.

Speaker 1 Figure in the corner, I can't quite see.

Speaker 1 I just know the shadow staring at me.

Speaker 1 It gets closer, it gets closer,

Speaker 1 it gets closer now.

Speaker 1 Figure in the corner laughing at me.

Speaker 1 Water filled my lungs, vision blurry.

Speaker 1 Voices will tell me that I should carry you

Speaker 1 Voices will tell me that I should carry you

Speaker 1 Voices will tell me that I should carry you
