Enjoy the show.

We just gonna say what time it is.

Yeah. Okay.

I mean, yeah, we're here.

We're here. We're here.

Not even used to some type of structure.

Niggas not even used

to starting at the time

you're supposed to start. Look, Mel

looks so confused.

He's like, wait, what's going on?

It's too early for this.

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

What does that mean?

We are missing two cast members.

What time is it?

Your focus is in the wrong place.

I understand that.

So you're ratting?

I'm not ratting.

Actually, I'm kind of surprised that Ish isn't here

because he's been making an effort.

You ratted last part, too, when we was about to start. You said, where's Flip? I sure the fuck did because he gets special treatment.
Who? Oh. Flip.
Oh, yeah. You think Flip gets special treatment? Yes, and I know that I'm not the only one.
I just, I'm the one who will speak up. 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? No.
Not necessarily. Okay, so speak for you.
But every once in a while, people just do this, whew, thank God she said it. And you think that's what's happening? Tell me why you think Flip gets special treatment.
The motherfucker... And then we can start.
He comes and goes as he... I'm not dog-powing you either.
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. Okay.
It's endless. It's endless.
This has nothing to do. I love him, but it's like.
I don't know. I don't know.
It's a little bit of ratting early in the pile. Early.
But let me just tell you why we're here just shooting the shit. You think everyone is beholden to the same rules? Apparently not.
And if it's apparently not, then would he be getting special treatment? Okay, you're right. It is too early.
Connections, synapses are not firing on all cylinders.

Have you ever worked corporate before?

Yes.

Were there people that was...

How can I say it?

When you work corporate, you kind of just got to worry about you.

Okay, this isn't corporate.

I think that's where some of the problems lie.

I think everywhere you got to kind of worry about you, by the way.

Yeah, but...

Facts. 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.
I could not agree more with what Ice is saying. That's true.
That may be true, but in addition to that, the fact that you're right, worry about you. However, a lot of the chemistry up here depends on the connections that we all make.
Like, we rely on the chemistry in order to produce a really, really good fucking show. So in that way, this is not a corporate structure.
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. Now, what we also are, we're all professionals.
Yes. And we do well whenever somebody is not here.
Exactly. We adjust.
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.
And that's right. So now you work with the people who came to work.
That's it. Okay, listen.
Y'all want to win.

You got it.

After last week, I ain't fighting with y'all

motherfuckers. I'm never trying to fight.

I'm not trying to fight. You good.

I'm never trying to fight with you.

I'm not trying to fight on a flip topic.

I'm not trying to fight.

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.
We expect Flip to do what the fuck he wants. Really? You don't? Mm-hmm, kind of.
I'm just expecting it, yeah. Flip is here in that capacity.
His contract is constructed in that capacity. Oh, then I have nothing to say.
That's what I'm saying. If his contract is...
Flip's contract is not your contract, which is not Mark's contract, which is not Ice's contract or Ish or Parks. Everybody here is not the same.
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. So you on his ass.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mel don't like that shit. Mel is on his ass.
Mel, like, if I got to get up and be in here, goddammit, you need to get up and be in here, too. Yeah, but I only do this because that's not right of Mel.
Because when her contract come up, she organizes it how she sees fit for her. Not for everybody else.
That's what everybody should do when it's gone. Holy shit.
I'm wrong. Oh, this is going to be a good day.
Oh, yeah. We had a whole conversation several months ago.
Get him, man. Where, you know, Flip started talking about, you know, I'm asking for this.
I'm doing this. Da, da, da.
And I remarked, I said, wow, that is really interesting that like men really walk through the world like a wake is in front of them. You know what I'm saying? Like where they just, they don't have anything like impeding them in terms of, you know, oh, well, should I ask for this? And should I ask for that? And some women, you know, came for me and I asked for what the fuck I want.
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... It's very true.
Thank you. I mean, I really underpay all my women employees.
Stop it. You don't know how easy it is.
And they take it, too. Nah, that's fire.
Nah, that's not a fire. Nah, big mark.

Tell them.

You're an ally?

Or a gang.

In seriousness though, I do have to often encourage them to do more.

Like I'm going to have to say you have to ask for more than that.

Front facing.

I have to mentor them to ask for more than that.

Front facing, we're going to be allies.

Right.

So when I construct my contract, it is.

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

Why not?

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.

Yes, I can.

You got it.

I can, because the two things have nothing to do with each other.

You're afraid to talk to who, Ian? No, no, no, no. Corporate environment versus contract negotiations.
That's completely different. Who are you afraid to talk to when it's time to negotiate your contract? I wouldn't categorize it as a fear.
Who are you timid to speak to? Because every new contract, you've asked for things. Why are you asking?

Why are you talking?

What?

Not her.

She has somebody.

Oh, okay.

I was about to say.

No, no.

She has somebody.

No, no.

She has somebody.

She has somebody.

But that's my point.

There's somebody she has.

He has a dick.

Uh-huh.

So that kind of changes it.

Where does the fear come from?

Because he's just my proxy.

He represents me.

Yes, ma'am. Is he white? No.
Oh. Oh.
Is he afraid? I should hire a white man? Oh, my God. Okay, gotcha.
You should see my team. Oh, gotcha.
I gotcha. Am I lying, Joe? I see what, hey, my whole life changed when I got a white guy.
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. I did it y'all way first.
It's me and some friends. Some black people.
I did it your way. Record label people.
It failed. Trust.
I was twisted. So now you're doing with a dick that talks for you.
Shout out to my man because he's real cool. Is he afraid? No, he's not afraid.
Okay. He's not afraid.
and he encourages me to not have any timidity when we're approaching the contract negotiations.

And you was just on air not even three weeks ago saying,

I love you.

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to leave.

I never want to leave.

See, I put you in those spots publicly so you could say that

because of all that you go through behind the scenes.

Because you look like you hate it here,

but then I get you to say, I absolutely love it. Hold on, because Mel absolutely hates it that's the best but everybody out there say oh she hates them you should work on your acting your acting is like Beyonce acting she was surprised I know she was we're going to talk about that later.
Shout out to the Carters. Congratulations to her.
Congratulations to her. Whole blue the entire family.
We'll get to the oh I totally wasn't expecting this look later. It was a few giveaways.
She was there. Right.
Point one. How y'all feeling? I a little.
That's right. 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 faces. What we got to say about Ish, too, while he's not here? Why the fuck isn't he here? This is what I'll say.
Facts. I'm going to shoot Ish some bail.
Why? Because in the limited time I've been here, Ish doesn't necessarily get here at 1030, but he always gets here before we start. So I'm assuming he probably has like an emergency.
I would bet money that something happened to him. Did anybody get a text? As opposed to...
Did anybody get a text? Ian got a text. Oh, did you? Yeah.
Cool. I have nothing left to fucking say.
Was it an emergency? Mel, you can't... Boom.
You can't be the pod Karen. You can't be this Karen.
You've already fucking assigned that title to me. I can't imagine letting Flip get you that much ire in your tone.
Flip's action should not make you fucking blood boil. And especially because you could do what you want to if your contract reflects that.
I probably wouldn't. I wouldn't have asked for it.
And if you would like to amend it, call in after this.

Because my middle name this month and the rest of this year is amend or another word I can't say.

But this is the year.

I really want to know what that word is.

Nah, not now.

Not now.

There'll come a time.

And whenever that time comes, it'll be the top thing in your YouTube algorithm. Damn.
This guy is sick. I'm just telling y'all what it is now.
But anyway. Gotcha.
Okay. Who's ready for some fun? Let's go, man.
Let's go. Who's ready for some fun? Flip, your sister, your sis.
Just get your fucking Mel is a piece of shit. Mel be on his ass.
Yo, the Mel don't play. She don't play with Gibi 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.
Oh, shit. It went right over my head, that Karen shit.
It's not Karen. He gonna get you.
He gonna get you when he get here. He always does.
He gonna get you when he get here. No, I owe him.
At this point, how much shit he fucking, you know, fucking does to me, I owe him. This year I'm waking up some of the behind the scenes turmoil.
I'm waking up. I'm getting to it.
Enough of this shit. I'm gonna monetize it somehow.
I got got to, Mark. I feel like you already are snitch camp.
Nah, no, no, no. Please.
Please. Hell no.
I mean like the real. Like the Vice version.
The dark side of podcasting. Yeah, like that part.
I used to think this was all capped. Like when I was watching the show, I thought there was no behind the scenes turmoil.
Shit.

Oh, no.

Day two, I was like, oh, all right.

Shit.

Tension beatin' thick.

Yeah.

Yo, for real.

Yeah, nah.

Thicker than cold grits.

It's Black History Month, so it's that time. Written by himself.
Written by herself. Phyllis Weekly.
Losing his bag. Because they thought niggas couldn't read and write.
They thought niggas didn't have the capacity to read and write Learn how to do what read and write talk. We can't read it right what you're trying so hard to stop us for big more America has always known what you are Who you are go.
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.

They'll tell you you dirty and have you clean their house.

They'll tell you you uncivilized, and we raised their children.

Oh, my.

The doctor, Mark Lamont.

They know who you are.

Doctors in the building.

Hello.

But it's time that you listen to who you are. Hey.
Talk that you understand who you are. Hey.
Two different phrases. God damn.
That was great. We got to give it up in the room for that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to give it up in the room for that, man.

I'm feeling good.

I'm well rested.

Thankful for God to put a 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.

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.

Oh, here we go.

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

Ice.

And 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.
I think that we should worry about oneself and respect each other's private business and not try to put it to the ball to make it seem like somebody's being insubordinate. And I love you, Melissa Ford.
What's up with you, man? Yo. How'd you hear about that so fast? The streets.
You got your ear to the streets. Oh, you was down there.
You was listening. I was in there in the hallway, right there, listening to the whole thing, playing it all, because I wanted to make a grand entrance, but she just threw a wrench in it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're not sorry. You can do your grand entrance now.
Well, that was pretty grand. Yeah, okay, Melissa.
I'm on your side. Same.
Women's rights. Sometimes you're on the side of people that's not on yours.
Like, there's nothing wrong with that. You on our side? Good.
Thanks. Keep it up.
I'll make you fucking feel bad. Just keep it.
You better relax. I'm talking about you.
You better relax, boy. I'm glad to see you, Flip.
Are you? Yeah. We.
We'll do sound effects again. Me and my man.
Me and my man. Yeah, please stop that.
Okay, gotcha. Yeah, please stop that.
But it's good to see you. How you doing? How you doing? And I can't wait to hear about how your weekend went.
Oh. It looked a little lit.
It did. It looked a little lit.
It was something. Okay.
So we'll get to that a little bit later. Thanks for holding me down, Joe.
Thanks for holding me down as far as Don't allow people to talk, I listened Don't allow people to talk about me man Appreciate that Appreciate it We definitely allowed it I gave some push back I ain't let her do that And I would do the same for any one of you In the event that Mel kicked y'all back in early. She don't play.
No, Mel don't play. She don't play.
She ain't up to shit. All right.
Come on, man. No need to waste time.
Again, shout out to Pride Spicks. Powered by a few by Pride Spicks.
Pride Spicks here. Salute.
Salute. Salute.
Salute. Salute.
Let's get right to it. Where do you want to start? Starting with the Grammys, man.
Where do you want to start? You know where we starting? Hey. I thought you were saying, which part of the Grammys do you want to start? We're starting with the Grammys, man.
Where do you want to start?

You know where we're starting.

Hey!

I thought you were saying, which part of the Grammys do you want to start with?

It was a bloodbath, man.

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.

It was.

I do have to say that.

I watched the pre-telecast the whole way through on the stream and then turned to television.

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.
And there's moments that happen in that too that are noteworthy of being watched. 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 run of show up there.
So you were able to see 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.
I know what I want to see is a little bit later. Yeah, the opera section that can go do something else.
Once I saw Jimmy Jan walked out, I 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! The red carpet show? Yeah, I was watching the regular red carpet shit. That's what I was watching first, because that's all I could find advertised or whatever people posted.
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. 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. I just watched shit on the stream.
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. I'm happy for Breezy.
You know? Absolutely. Happy for Breezy.
Gotta be. Yeah, I just been tweeting about that Chris Brown win.
I'm still. Every hour on the hour.
Yeah, let me hit the round. You got the notes? Yeah, I got the notes.
No, I said I wore my Chris Brown shirt. Let's go, Freeze.
Hit the round of applause for Chris Brown. Absolutely.
He deserved that. Finally winning best R&B album of the year.
And he beat out some heavyweights. Well deserved.
I thought Usher might get it. I would have blew...
I would have shot my TV if Usher would win. But that's how the Grammys be working, though.
You know what I mean? Yeah, they do. Yeah, I was really expecting Usher to win that.
I thought Lucky Day might get it. That's another one.
He's the Grammy baby. That was a good album, too.
It was a great album. Chris Brown deserved it.
He did, for sure. I think he deserved the award before that.
He was nominated for Best R&B Performance for Residuals. That's the one that you were rooting for.
I didn't even think he had a chance

honestly for an R&B

album. I didn't think they would do that.

Residuals is a smash record

though. It's heavy radio

play. The song is everywhere.

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.
But

Money Long ended up winning for the BET Live version of her record. So I was like, uh.
That's interesting. It was very interesting to me.
She did smoke that performance. She did.
She did. I didn't know that live performances were eligible for individual awards in this manner.
Is it a new category? No. It was released, but it was after the fact.

I don't know. Whatever.

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. And congratulations to her.

Yeah, she's amazing.

But then they did the R&B album, and

he beat out Lucky Day, Usher,

Layla Hathaway. He beat

out some names.

I stood up. I was

Thank you. did the R&B album and he beat out Lucky Day, Usher, Layla Hathaway.
Like, he beat out some names. I stood up.
I was cheering in the crib. I went and got me a bottle.
I felt like... You a Chris Brown fan like that? Yes.
You pop some more? Oh, yeah, no. No, 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 like him.

I just, you know, I ain't popping no bottles for him. I absolutely love him.

Ice goes for me.

I appreciate his talent.

If it wasn't for that very dark Grammy night ages ago,

we would be singing a different story about Chris Brown and who he is.

I would like to see Chris Brown at the Grammys at some point.

Yeah, they could have used him this year.

For that Michael Jackson? Yeah, yeah. We'll talk about it.
We'll get to it. Dude.
Okay. No, no, I was saying.
Did you finish? No, I was just happy. Like, I felt like I won the fucking Grammy.
You did. I was dead ass.
And a lot of Chris Brown fans, fans that I talked to, we all felt the same way. Like, yo, theybum? Finally.
He's had amazing projects. So it's like, but you always get overlooked.
Sometimes you don't even get nominated. I think it was just a good feeling.
So congratulations to him, the whole team, Breezy. Like, this was amazing.
Wow. Very first on my notes is...
Oh, they playing with Babyface. Nah.
Yeah, that was great. That was ugly.
with baby face yeah that was ugly that was

disgusting that was a key here we go poppin and rock as well

it's interesting You guys want to do that? Go do that. Hello.
How's it going, Chappell? Boy, was I sick to my stomach watching this. While I'm in my clips, I'll just play their bullshit apology.
Did you see before that? I'm sorry about interrupting Babyface earlier. Wait, let me play their apology.
Chappell Rohn had come up and there was a lot of... Actually, fuck their apology.
Yeah, it was. It was prior, like, that clip started a little late.
Before that, they were talking to him and they asked him about what does he think about the resurgence of women in R&B and about this new sound of R&B that's kind of fusing. Yeah, that was the question that she was in.
In the clip. Got it.
You asking baby faces, though. Like, nigga, I'm the reason for this.
He's the architect, yeah. He wrote Waitin' Exit Soundcheck.
Oh, man. I was offended at the question.
They were out of their depth. But, so it was two girls.
The one that was actually posing the question, when she heard her counterpart counterpart calling for chapel she was she elbowed her and looked completely mortified so like they're both being crucified but it really was like the idiot with the gray dress on he was like oh my god chapel yeah it was just you know and you're not supposed to face and you just talked about that you did literally just talked about how they do that. You just said that, how they do that in the red carpet.

Because those red carpets get a little tricky.

And if you've ever been on 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 to these two music deaf white people that did this interview and the AP.

I thought this was totally disrespectful.

Extremely. But par the course for what happens on on a red carpet But to interrupt baby face 12 time Grammy award-winning recording artist songwriter producer over 800 million records sold produce fucking We maybe do yeah, maybe we do we maybe do maybe some people don't know We old I just say 125 top 10 hits 45 number one R&B hits 16 number one Pop hits like baby faces baby face and I am put some I am putting some of this onus on him I am what do you mean? mean? You don't talk shit about him? Because stop, don't talk to them.
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.
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 want to get in front of the camera or the microphone of platforms that he may not typically be in front of. But he shouldn't be talking to them.
You babyface. At all times, you babyface.
But he's also extremely gracious. And we really saw that when that whole kerfuffle was going on between him and Anita Baker when she was on tour.
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 wildfires. So they really, that was front and center.
You know, donations to everybody that had lost in the wildfires. So L.A.
was... What do they have to do with Babyface talking to AP and these two white people that don't know who this? Meaning you asked why he was even there.
No, no, no. No.
He said why he was there. He said why he was there.
He should be there. Why are you talking to them? He said why are you there speaking to these people? Like Beyonce stopping on the right side.
And my counterpoint to number one... Wait, what was number one again? Say it again.
Is that he's a very gracious man. Okay, I think that that's performative.
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.
All of that being nice shit is humble artist shit, even how he ended this. Oh, you want to do that? Go do that.
Like, baby face 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.
In our 35 year. 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 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.
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 to these.
Are they babyface? I'm not trying to make a... I'm going to speak.
Go ahead. No, no.
I'm not fighting with you. We ain't just talking.
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. They're with the Associated Press.
And that is a very respectable long-running media outlet so that is so that's why he would have stopped to talk 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 you're like i can skip that you know have a publicist kind of shooing you along oh babe face we got associated over here. And you kind of get maneuvered along.
That's how it happens. So that's probably how he ended up there.
But also, oh, it's okay. It's Associated Press.
This makes sense for me to stop and talk to you. I'm saying that he shouldn't have.
Okay. I'm saying he shouldn't have.
Okay. You're saying he shouldn't have done the red carpet at all? Is there anybody you think he should stop for? Maybe.
I just don't feel like Babyface should ever appear to be on the new act stroll. 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 talked to anybody on the red carpet? Or just not done the red carpet? If there was a vet there, I guess. I think it's the insinuation.

Speak to the music outlets

that sent knowledgeable people

to do this.

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.

If Rolling Stone is on the carpet, maybe do that.

If they sent somebody that knows

music. It's like you going to Rolling Stone and the person that you're sitting with mispronounced your name.
That's what it is the equivalent of. You wouldn't know that that person is going to mispronounce your name until they do it.
One. Two, if it's just mom and pop publication, you're not going at all.
Because it's Rolling Stone, alright, I'll go there. That's kind of what you're saying.
Because it's AP, alright, 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.
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. They just chose, they went on the cheap.
They got these young white girls who were fanning out over Chapel Rome and who had no professionalism at all. And I've worked a lot, 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, you get the person who you like, and then you see out of the corner of your eye this person who you'll get a raise if you get, or the person you keep your job. And for them, Chapel Rome is that person and babyface is not.
But what you do is you phase out the interview. You change the question, you pivot, or you cut them short in a way that doesn't look like you cut them short.
This white girl was ducking and maneuvering while baby face is talking, looking all doofy in the face, this girl. She wasn't even the one doing the interview.
She could have very easily went over and tried to recruit. That's what she should have done.
And then to just scream out, Chapel, Chapel. While I'm talking? Like, I think number one is Cap.
I don't think Beyonce is talking to nobody that's gonna call her a different name. Or that's gonna not know her projects, or that's gonna not know what she's been up to.
But she wouldn't know. You wouldn't know.
Man, Babyface is Babyface. I don't want to hear this shit.
Babyface is damn near on the fucking, uh... Rushmore.
Yeah, the Mount Rushmore of music, especially R&B. It definitely is.
Yeah, that's true. If Beyonce's doing a sit-down interview with Rolling Stone, she knows who that interviewer is before they even see it.
There's a lot of checks and balances that will happen during that time. This is a red carpet.
It's frenzied. That's true.
Totally different. That should happen to Glorilla.
That should happen to a new act. That should not happen to babyfaces.
Exactly. Because of how young they were.
And that's what a lot of these publications are doing. They're sending out kids.
Basically who might have a strong presence online because of their blogs and stuff like that. But they're not journalists.
They music journalists and they don't have like you know an encyclopedia kind of memory or knowledge about who everybody is they might have heard your name exactly but they're not going to understand the power of baby face like you just said when you were running down his accomplishments you would you said we're old they are not so they probably they do not know the impact of the man that was standing in front they know the name but they do not know the impact they know it fucking Now. Half of you 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 fucking now.

Half of y'all,

and maybe they still don't,

half of y'all out there

was probably born

and conceived to babyface.

Agreed.

Babyface disrespect

will not be tolerated

by music lovers,

especially black music lovers.

What's next on my list?

Trevor Noah is talking

really fast in the opening. Okay.
Listen, my notes. I was watching and just writing.
He did sound like he was on Adderall to me during the opening. He seemed nervous to me.
Not nervous like I've never been here before but nervous like, you know, he don't do it every day anymore. 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...
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 put these awards together.
But it is time for y'all to consider new host options. It is.
They playing it safe, bro.

I like Trevor, but...

I do like Trevor.

I do too.

I'd like to see Cardi B host a Grammys.

Just think out the box.

It's always Trevor.

It's always Kevin.

It's always Chris Rock.

It's always Tahajie.

It's always...

Playing it safe.

It's the same people.

Yeah, the safe blacks.

Yeah, Trevor is like King's safe blacks.

All right.

All right. Let's get this party started with some Sheryl Crow in the doors.

That opening number, it wasn't the doors.

That opening number sucked.

Who was that?

I don't know.

I don't remember the name of the group.

Let's get this Grammy party started.

They brought up John Legend and Brittany Howard.

It was like a little ensemble.

Oh, yeah.

John Legend was there. Oh, no, no, no.
So that's one of my notes. John Legend was there all day.
Like, the pre-show that I was watching that started at, like, 2 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. They just kept showing John Legend.
John Legend 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.

Or a piano cipher.

You're absolutely right.

He found Sheryl Crow

in the doors.

It wasn't the doors.

I saw. If two of y'all tell me who that was, that was the doors.
Fair enough. Alright, but she got this party started.
So when that happened, I'm thinking to myself, okay, same old... 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 the vacuum. Okay, I got it.
I started vacuuming over the doors. Not the doors, man.
It was Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard, St. Vincent, who ends up winning an award later on.
She won like 50,000 awards in that pre-ceremony. Oh, okay.
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 L.A., which is a Randy Newman

song in a tribute to

everything that had happened to L.A.

If I had a lasso

and knew how to use it, I would

have yanked them niggas off the surface.

Yeah, that was the same man out there.

Yeah, it was horrible.

I get the sentiment, but that was that stoke.

Yeah, like it even made the vacuum noise sound

bad when I was back. That was a fucking mess.
And I'm thinking to myself, oh boy, here we go. Same old Grammy, whitewash, just soulless, sauceless, cool.
But I did vacuum. Let's see.
I knew Kanye wasn't invited. I knew Kanye wasn't invited.
So he just crashed the party? No, he crashed the red carpet And left He got to the red carpet with his naked wife Did the red carpet And left And while he was doing that I'm talking to my girl I'm like, no way he was invited there He wasn wasn't invited there. Was he nominated or anything? Yes.
Carnival was nominated. He had one nomination.
There was a rumor that he got asked to leave and then he bumped in 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. They didn't expect her on a red carpet like that.
They did not. I feel sorry for her, man.
Why? Why? Oh, let me see how you pull this one off. No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying like she looks like she's in a cult. Whenever I look at her, she looks like she's not all the way there.
I get like cult member vibes from her. That's all.
And I worry about her. That's all.
That's the look that women get when you make eight and nine figures. Oh, is that? I wouldn't know.
That's the look. Is that the look? I wouldn't know.
So I'm assuming that Kanye would be the cult leader, yes? Yeah. Yeah.
And to 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.
Like when I saw his tweets when I saw all his social media stuff, I was like, he might be back and either he got an album coming out or he's not in a good space. And when I see her, I feel like this is somebody else who's not in a good space.
To walk down that carpet, 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? And I thought this when I saw them two on the red carpet and people were tweeting and sharing their opinion, which may adjoice somewhat. I think a lot of people totally miss that.
At least a third of Kanye's discography is about his porn addiction. Yes.
That's real. Yeah.
That's the truth. I think he was able to do that 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. Yeah.
Yeah. It makes sense.
But why wouldn't it come to a black man doing it? It has to be something wrong with him. 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. 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. We're going to do what we want when Lady Gaga did this.
In fairness, there's a little bit of a difference. And first of all, the white people thought

and still think to this day that

Lady Gaga's a little off. Yeah.

But they didn't treat it like that. Treat it like what?

They didn't treat it like how my man's saying it.

Oh, she's going, said something

wrong with her. They're just like, oh, it's Lady Gaga doing what Lady Gaga

does. Lady Gaga's also an artist

and a celebrity and a creative.

Kanye West is also an artist. I'm talking about

Bianca Sensori. I'm not talking about Kanye.

I'm talking about her. Yes, but you said that.

Got you. So basically, she's his prop is what you're

that you're saying. So whatever his creative thought is, she's the...
And that's the problem for me. I don't understand.
Kim was his prop? Like, that's what he do. Amber was his prop? But she's a voluntary prop.
I'm not saying she's being used and manipulated. 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 because Kanye for her doing it. I'm just saying I don't like it.
Bro, Kanye's an attention seeker. He knows, when I hit this carpet, what can I do to make everybody say, oh shit, Kanye, Kanye, Kanye, Kanye.
So why doesn't he just come naked? He's been doing that for years. Why doesn't he just come fucking naked? Because I don't have to.

Look at her.

Exactly, look at her.

I always have a heartache.

And nobody want to see that.

Yeah, we'd rather see that.

And that's what she's there for.

And Kanye's been attention-seeking since day one.

It's getting gross.

Every girl that I've had, I bring them up here.

Amber, look at her.

We're going to go up here with the Henny bottle, all of this,

so you look at her.

Kim, you're looking at her.

I'm an artist, and this is my quote-unquote art of this, so you look at her. 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, this is the

it place to be in the music business right now.

So who's who is here.

I have to find a way

that my name is to talk while all of y'all

are here. That's what he do.

Well, if he showed up naked, then that would definitely get everybody talking

rather than having her as a prop. We talking about it right now when she showed up naked.
Facts. Facts.
Didn't really want to. And also, where's the lip readers? Because they had an exchange right before she turned around and took that fucking coat off.
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. It looked like

an exchange. And I'm going to tell you,

you said you didn't want to. A couple of us, some nice

titties she had. So we was alright.
We wasn't complaining

about it. Listen, I will give credit where it's too.

Titties weren't bad. They're fucking gorgeous.

Titties weren't bad. They are beautiful.

Nice titties. Hard to not look at the titties.

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? I didn't look. I did not look.
Yeah, it looked like her fucking. 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 exactly what I'm saying. 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. It all tracks.

Like I said, I'm not surprised by it.

And, 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 girl.

Ain't no could be a ballad.

Y'all better go listen to Kanye West 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.

But he's telling us.

First verse of Runaway,

the whole Life of Pablo project.

Oh, he's telling you this. But he's telling us.
First verse of Runaway, the whole Life of Pablo project, his verse on Watch the Throne. They're all hey, this is what I'm on.
Sorry. Listen to lyrics more.
Let's see. Back to these notes.
Sheryl Crow, Kanye. Why was Billie Eilish dressed like that?

I had the same note.

I was trying to think of what she was dressed like,

and I still can't figure it out. Like a page boy or something?

No, like a kid that was hanging out at the skate park in 1990.

That's her bag, yo.

Yeah, that is her bag.

Yeah, she's always androgynously dressed.

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? It's over.
Hey, Trump. Hey, Trump.
Trump is in now. Hey, wear the girl clothes.
You can't say that. No, that's fucked up.
That's fucked up. No, no, no.
That's fucked up. That's what I'm saying.
But I'm saying, get dressed like you fucking nominated for album of the year. Or that she's Billie fucking Eilish and I'll show up how the fuck I want.
And I won these awards before dressed like this. That was when Biden was in.
You won when Biden was in dressed like a fucking cabbage patch kid. Now is not the time.
Sorry. She looks like she hopped right out to Honda Civic.
The Japanese version. She get up there with her brother.
They do this little light FM, Yacht Rock slap. That's a slap too.
It's a slap though. It's a slap.
She's fire. What would you have her with? I'm not a stylist.
I'm saying. Just what? Don't trap him.
She's fire. She is fire.
I mean, just. What would you have her wear?

I'm not a stylist.

I'm saying, just what.

Don't trap him.

He just said, Trump's in office, dress like a girl.

That's what he said.

Whoa.

That's what he just said.

Careful.

That was a joke, Melissa Ford.

Oh, my God.

So.

That's what he just said?

Yes, it was a joke.

The person that made the joke is telling you the joke.

You've got to piss me off not even 30 minutes into this. I see what you're on.
Stop it. Jesus.
No, I would like her to dress like she was nominated for album of the fucking year, whatever that is. Nigga, that happened.
Racked up that first year. She had that skateboard P shit on.
That's not skateboard P. I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. Not Pharrell skateboard Pboard P.
She has Skateboard E on.

She was in South Pole.

Then I tried to turn the TV all the way up

to hear what her brother was giving on the mic

next to it with the little guitar.

I didn't hear nothing.

I'm a little background vocal.

He was the lowest background vocal

I heard the whole night.

But shout it up.

Shout it to Billie Eilish.

She looked great in all that Skateboard P shit she had on. Whatever.
And what the fuck are you wearing by Jaden Smith? Yeah, because I didn't even write him down. I did not even write that down.
Does anybody know what the castle on his head was supposed to, or hat, house, what it was supposed to represent? They told me he was a house nigga. Yeah.
That's funny. That's what they said.
I don't know. He was a house nigga.
Wait, is that what was happening? This thing is crazy. That's a twin.
They said that. Stop and 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 Smith is one of them. He did that himself.
But we give great shows because he grew up with fucking August Alsina and him. Who knows what he's seen? Oh, shit.
We kind of just assumed Jaden Smith to be a little different than other kids. If your best friend takes down your mom, he's going to do some things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to fuck you up psychologically.

But on the flip side, Willow looked fantastic on that carpet.

She did.

I believe it, though.

She looked beautiful.

And she had a great album last year.

I want to know if they had the same room growing up. No, man.

You don't know how many of them other rooms was the dungeon?

You don't know.

You don't know.

I promise you.

That nigga got enough money to get 15 dungeons.

They had their own pool houses and shit.

No, they was Jada's dungeons.

You talking about that nigga?

All right.

Moving on.

Move that.

I'm back.

Ice.

Back to the notes.

Back to the notes.

Look at this.

A white lady tap dancing.

Oh.

I was fucking at night. What? Who was that? Sabrina Carpenter.
Oh, yeah. I love Sabrina Carpenter, though.
She killed it. All right, so go ahead and do that first.
Okay, Ma. You know what? No.
Go ahead and do that. Do that.
You do that. I'm just saying salute to her.
She won. What award did she win? Best? No, you don't even know.
I love her. Best pop.
Something. A white.
She won the Big Pop Award. The Big Pop Award.
For a very good album. For a very good album.
A great album, actually. I didn't listen to it.
Sabrina, you heard Espresso, though. You knew the big hits.
I mean, this is her fifth album. And she kind of, she was, y'all don't know, she was in 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.
And she's a legit pop star. And I think she's got a big future.
Wait, Hannah Montana is Miley Cyrus, right? Yeah. As I said, she's the same trajectory in terms of going from like being like a TV kid to try to make real music.
It gets confusing because they don't really change the white pop star prototype. Right.
She's just a lot more talented. They all kind of rehash each other.
Yeah, don't do that. I like Miley Cyrus, but I'm saying Sabrina's 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 mad hits. 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.

I'm saying Sabrina Carpenter, if she never was on TV

and you just put that album on, I think you would like it.

Sabrina Carpenter is dope.

Like a lot of the

great white hypes, like

the ones that sell all the records that they got all the stock

in at the labels, they are dope

and talented. So my

note here is not to say anything disparaging about her. This is the white pop acts as a whole.
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 gotta do something saucy for the audience. Don't do the kickball change.
No. That was the stiffest tap dancing I ever seen.
Out of a pop star, here's the audience trying to front for a... She's killing it.
No, she's not. No, she was not.
It was stiff. That shit needed...
What's the name of that oil you put on the door? A little WD-40. Yeah.
Sabrina Carver needed some WD-40, and she ain't the only white that did. She had to turn up the swing of the MPC a little bit.
Yeah, but she killed. She won best pop vocal album.
Wait till y'all see Gregory Hines. Saviato.
Saviato. When y'all get a load of them, oh my God.
She won best pop solo

performance and best pop vocal album.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do.

Shout out to Sabrina. Alright, shout out to

the white lady tap dancer. Go ahead, Sabrina.

We sell out sometime, nigga. Let's see.

Doshi wins.

Doshi wins.

Get this Cardi lady

out the way. Yes,

Cardi, this is what a woman rapping.

Oh, bug it out.

Because Cardi

trying to stand there.

Girl!

Make room for a girl that raps still.

I don't care if y'all not comfortable.

I wrote notes.

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.
So happy. I loved her speech.
The speech was crazy. The same reaction that you had to Chris Brown, same reaction I had to Doshi winning.
Because that was a loaded fucking category with heavyweights. It was.
And she was the only woman nominated. I was so happy for her.
Like, so happy. And it well deserved.
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.
Everybody that won, that was probably one of the greatest nights of their lives. I'm not here to try to rain on that parade at all.
I would say. Thoughoshi did the work.
If you watch these artists, I say it every year Grammy time, if you watch them during the year, you could see who's doing the Grammy prep work. That's true.
Yeah. Doshi's been on every stage in front of every interview.
She's been... And she's killing the interview.
She dominated. She's done it correctly.
She's killing it. Tiny Desk, 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.
I don't see that. I agree.
I don't see that. Congratulations to Doshi.
And in hindsight, now that you see how the night went to the people that are saying she didn't deserve whatever. Hey, let's pretend you're right.
Once you see how the night went to the people that are saying she didn't deserve whatever,

hey, let's pretend you're right.

Once you see how the night went.

The right one's there.

Right there.

They let you know.

They let you know.

Right there.

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

Once you're seeing Kendrick doing the rack up, you could have heard the phone call in your head

between TDE and the Grammy

board. We skipped it because it's going to be a whole thing,

but the rack up started early. That started at

1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Actually, let's rewind a little bit

because this was a giveaway for me too.

They showed Lucien

a lot and early.

More than I was used to.

Yeah.

I can't say that

I've seen a Grammy's

Thank you. a lot and early.
More than I was used to. Yeah.
I can't say that I've seen a Grammys where he was highlighted the way he was at the table in the opening. And all throughout.
I saw him giving Dr. Dre a high five.
Oh, slow down. Slow down.
We're getting to the high five. But but yeah that was a sign of things to come

let's see what else we got here

congratulations to her

oh

should Cardi be scared of what that symbolizes

that's what I wrote here

I don't think so

yes for sure

100%

it's hard for some people to catch a hit right now

with whatever your old formula was

Thank you. yes for sure 100% 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 the year that we've had in hip hop with like rappers rapping and dropping certain trends that were in a few years ago not being all the way and now Doshi winning and them making sure she won symbolizes a turn, a change of things to come.
I agree with you when I put on my Optimist glasses but I do think there is a separation between awards and critical response versus commercial response. A thousand percent.
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.
Not just that. It's like saying Killer Mike won last year.
Right? That didn't spearhead where hip-hop really went this year. I just think that some of the heavy hitter commercial people, I can argue they kind of did.
They didn't drop. Who didn't drop? The heavy hitter commercial, 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. That's what I was trying to say.
But that's kind of my point, too. The music business still has to run when your A-level acts don't drop.
True. So now the B-level or C-level, no disrespecting nobody calling them B or C, but now they get the opportunity to get some shine that they might not have got.
We're talking in terms of label priority, not talent. Talent or skill.
Not talent. 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? Shit, me.
If the Renners do. Or if I'm a heavy hitter, I don't give a fuck what they do.
I gotta call Ghazi. Get this Empire shit up.
Are you fucking crazy? The first came fast as hell for February. It did, yo.
It sure did. Oh, yeah, nah.
New Year's was the other day. Some bullshit.
Shit happened fast. That shit happened fast.
All right, we'll take a quick break because it's my favorite part of the show. Prize Picks! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.

Big prize picks, big prize picks, big prize picks.

All right, back to the Grammys.

Yep.

One thing we were talking 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 you think her winning could kind of,

Thank you. Rap Album of the Year.
Big Doshi, friend of the show. Absolutely.
And y'all were saying how you think her winning could kind of shift hip-hop or something? I don't think so. And I say that because I'm looking here.
Once they changed the eligibility and Chance won that award in 2017, the Rap Album of the Year category has had a lot of obscure, not really commercial. You know, the winners, Chance won 2017.
Now, granted, Damn won 2018. Cardi B, 2019, but Tyler for Igor was 2020.
Nas and Hit Boy Kings Disease was 2021. Tyler, Call Me If You Get Lost was 2022 so it's like it's not the super commercial album although Tyler is pretty commercial okay but now look at who he was look at even the nominations and Nas was the IOU yeah good point I think this is a great point.
Even the nominees. Like, you know, we had J-Elect, Royce the 5'9", Freddie Gibbs.
Yeah. No disrespect to anybody, but these are not your big commercial acts.
True. You're nominated in the Grammy category for best rap album.
Right. So I don't think that changes anything.
I wrote here in the notes that Grammy night is 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. But that was just good to think about for me.
Like, as you watch these awards and you're an act, you're gonna 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. Like, a lot of talks was happening that night.
For sure. Especially with watching what was going on.
I think the next segment was the new artist segment, right? No, not yet. Okay.
Next I have this red-haired white lady is the stiffest choreo moving, and they cannot hide it with these dancing clowns that they got. Oh, he's talking about Chapel Rhone and Pretty Pink Pony or Pink Pony Pussy.
I don't know, some shit. Again, bring out the WD oil.
Pink Pony Club. Pink Pony Club, thank you.
They tried to mask it with the clowns doing the meme type shit

but that girl cannot move

a lick.

She can't move a lick.

Sounded great.

Sounded great.

It's just white people's movements.

They just ain't got it.

Yeah, but they keep trying to have it

and they isolate like the words drop from the beat and then they get't got it. Yeah, but they keep trying to have it, and they isolate.
Like, the words drop from the beat, and then they get to move them. And it highlights.
Yeah, because they dance into the words, nigga. That's easier for them.
They not only know beat no more. They dance into the words.
She don't. She ain't got no beat.
Oh, we could go down. She don't need to do that again.
Like somebody poking them. And I know I'm right, because as soon as that lady got off the stage, they pant to Money Long's face, which is my favorite thing in the music business now.
That's my favorite thing. Cameras panning to Money Long's face.
Money Long is thinking whatever I'm thinking. She looked like, what the fuck? What the fuck? You're fucking kidding me.
All righty then. What the fuck is this fucking bitch up here?

You gotta be.

She ain't even giving him a slow clap.

Shout out to Money Long.

Another friend of the show.

For sure.

Nah, we had some Grammy winners up here.

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.

And what is the opposite of Ozempic? Because she's on it. Potatoes.
To gain weight. Wait, hold on.
What's Mother White? Hold up, hold on. I'm stepping on this joke.
I'm stepping on this joke. You know that's his bag.
He's bag. He knows.
He knows. What did he be on? It's not grits.
It's cream of wheat. Hey.
That's the white version. Farina, some porridge.
There we go. Porridge.
Porridge. She made Ice Spice lose it so she could gain it.
It's violent, Ice Spice. That's what she did? Hell, yeah.
She borrowed it. Yeah, good point.
Can we put an APB out on Ice Spice? Where is Ice Spice? Can we have all our people go surveil the Bronx and find this young lady that they tried to stuff in our face? 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 to know. It's fine.
It's all right. She was talking slick about Doshi and how there's special treatment.
Just because you ugly

don't mean that you rap nice. Whatever the fuck

she was saying.

How about the fact that Doshi

is just wildly fucking talented?

And she's not ugly.

That goes without saying.

She's fucking beautiful. Later we'll get in there.

She tore that little Tom Brown suit off.

She tore that Jonel Monáe outfit off

and tooted some ass around. She definitely did.
Hey, hey. 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's wonderful. She's in great shape.
She does. She's a wonderful person.
Great shape. Great looking woman.
Fucking great rapper. Yeah.
She's great. My man called me about her.
He was like, yo. I said, nigga, she sat on the couch.
He said, y'all had doji? I said, yeah, nigga, get a Patreon. Hold on.
Just let you know. Tell your man who the fuck we be.
My man. Stop talking to people who don't know who the fuck we be.
He was like, y'all had doji. It's a lot of my mans in January.
I just want to let you know so you won't be surprised. It's about 30 in the month right now.
All right. No, Taylor Swift looks good.
She did. Her legs were crazy.
I like that little... It was a leg.
Yeah, that little... And the red.
The red. The red.
That's a nod to her boot. The red on that nice white pale skin? Yeah.
And monochromatic. She wasn't as...
Boy. But she had that little leg jewelry on too.
That shit was... That was sexy.
That was sexy. Okay, Taylor.
She took all the money from the label this year. And last year.
And the year before. You know, Kelsey got a little bit of swag rub off on him.
Looking at her that night, I understand Travis Kelsey. Might have helped out.
I'm leaving the opinionated black girl for this billionaire white girl maybe chill yo what is wrong with saying that can't why can't you say that what opinionated black girl the last girl you got it fam she put the three parts in his eyebrows like a billionaire pulled. Sorry, ma.
One day we'll talk about who we'll leave

our girls for.

One day you'll talk about it.

ISO Joe.

A little more money, Joe.

Oh, nobody. Death.

If I'm answering.

You know what I mean? How about y'all?

Same. Same for me.

Not even.

Yeah, fuck they talking about, huh? Fuck these billionaires. Double casket, let's go.
Billionaire, beautiful people with privileges and perks and fucking a lifestyle that we never said. Fuck them.
Don't argue. I don't want none of that.
Grass ain't greener. Cool.
No, no, that grass ain't greener. Grass is bullshit.
It's that new white grass. Christmas grass.
Christmas tree grass. It's that new white grass.
You a nasty nigga for making that joke. You a new white grass.
Yeah, but you knew what it was because you be fucking white girls. You too? Let me see.
No, I don't. Here we go.
No, I don't. Don't start.
Don't start. You're not going to start your bullshit already.
I've caught six of them in life, nigga. You fucked 60, 600.
You fucked six of them in a month. No, not your stuff.
Hey, yo, yo. Hold on.
Yo, dog. His number keep going up.
Last time it was two. Then it was three.
Now it was six. No, it didn't.
It went to like 14. Then it came back down.
My nigga. Yo, you talking to me.
There was seven, Brittany. Jillian.
Yeah. All righty.
What do we have here? What do we have here? 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. In the front row.
Right. Well, she's Beyonce.
She's always going to be in the front row. You are correct.
B, the way that your bodyguard stands up. Like everybody in this room is somebody.
Everybody at these tables is somebody. Your bodyguard stand 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.
I think it's Julian.

He's been a long-time bodyguard.

His face always gives it away.

Let's see.

Hov's presence gives it away, in case y'all didn't know.

After the speech last year or two years ago, whatever that was.

Last year.

Last year.

Last year. 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're planning to get this thing.

I didn't get that.

Thank you. was great, right? It just shows you how far ahead you need to be.
Like, you need to be a year out if you're planning to get this thing. I ain't get that.
I got, yo, I'm flexing my muscle, like y'all been doing for decades. Y'all want me and my wife here next year? Make it right.
See to that. It's both.
It's both, yeah. Like, it was on some, yo, flex.
I don't give a fuck what nobody said. That's part of the process.
Got you. Oh, wait.
And so was Taylor presenting this award. Yes.
Of course. Which I love.
Dog, I hadn't seen them do the country award a bunch, and it wasn't so glamorous. Yeah, it wasn't Taylor.
It wasn't so glamorous. Taylor up there in a red dress, red pumps.
Tan with some long legs. Oh, my God.
But she said that. She was looking nice.
Why said that... Taylor looked good.
Taylor's hurtiness. I see.
Y'all love some Taylor. No, this was my first time saying...
Listen, the thick whites I might have a weakness for a little bit. The skinny whites not so much.
And now that she's a thick white, she in the mix. She looked alright, man.
She did look alright.

But her presenting the country award is telling you,

hey, this is a thing here. It's a nod

probably to the Kanye shit from years ago.

Yeah. Which she mentioned.

Many years ago,

I was on this very stage.

She didn't get into the Kanye shit, but

you know what she was referring to.

What did y'all think about Beyonce

winning the country award?

Her speech, her everything. What did y'all

Thank you. She didn't get into the Kanye shit, but you know what she was referring to.
What did y'all think about Beyonce winning the country award?

Her speech, her everything.

What did y'all think?

How'd y'all feel?

Congratulations to her.

The country award.

They're pissed off.

Yeah.

One of the girls' faces was like this.

One of the nominees.

Lainey something.

No, not Lainey.

Musker Thank you. when they said Chris Stapleton name.
She won the ear. Yeah, she did.
I got a little worried. She's fire.
I said, oh, wait a minute. Who nominated? She's fire.
When they said Chris Stapleton name, I was like, oh. Wait a minute.
Lainey's the one. Yeah.
I ain't never heard of that. I heard Chris Stapleton.
I'm on Chris Stapleton. Oh, wait a minute.
Lainey might be fired. Cool.
Awesome for her. When they said Chris Stapleton, I was like, whoop.
Exact same reaction. I was like, oh, shit.
Hold on. Slow down.
Nah, he ain't the one. He don't play.
But she won. Was happy for her.
She looked great. She did.
All right, here we go. ISO out for a little bit.
New artist segment. They got Trevor Noah standing there around the fancy round tables, fresh from a commercial break.
They got the spotlights on the new artists. Start with Shibuzzi's, my man, looking good up there.
I got it in my notes. Shibuzzi look fire.
The little country outfit, the country tie, killing that shit. He moved over.
Teddy Swims up there looking good. Big Teddy Swims, friend of the show.
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.
This is my favorite part of the Grammys this year. 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.
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.

So they gave me a little shibuzi.

Trevor Noah stood there by the table.

Moved over, stood by Teddy Swim's

table. Moved over, stood

by some other new act. Benson Boone.

Slow down. Don't step on my ice.

I just said ice. Don't step on my shit.

Go to Starbucks.

Went and stood by some other fucking new artist's table spotlight. I assumed it was a slap in there.
Then they moved over to a whole nother table. And I seen what I thought at the time was, oh, look at these beautiful white hedge fund people.
That was the Nikki Glaser, Heidi Klum table. But I didn't know them unless you tell me that that's them.
I just saw a table of beautiful porcelain whites. See, white people, when they got somebody that they want to put out there, they're going to make sure that they fucking beautiful.
I said, oh shit, look at this. They must be this shit Motherfucking Benson, boom Stood up Pulled a mic out of his fucking Tuxedo jacket, I said, holy shit The hedge fund Nigga is about to Perform, no this before, I don't know Who he is, I don't.
Me neither. I know he stood up from the beautiful white hedge fund table,

pulled a mic out his

tuxedo inside, go

like this, and start

singing some shit I never heard. I said,

oh shit, Tom Selleck

got barred.

Who the, because

the whites got to spend a lot of years going

to find the new superstar that's going to take over over they went and found some 007 looking nigga this nigga was up there like uh fucking Tom Cruise himself he starts singing some shit I was like oh shit the white boy got a voice I said y'all better start playing financial advisor hey y'all best not playing with Benson Boone whoever the fuck This great white hype is Then he continued they took his little outfit off Oh shit It's tear away tux Wait They go to They had to break away tux When white people take they shit off and got a sequins Carolina blue outfit on underneath, boy, you in trouble. You in trouble.
And he's walked to the stage in that little tight-ass outfit. He might have did backflips to that stage.
Slow down now. No, I ain't get to that bar yet.
He was just singing. I said, boy, I ain't gonna lie..
That boy sound good. Don't sell it.

All right.

Don't sell it.

It's going to lie.

Then that nigga jumped on the piano.

Oh, shit.

Then a front flip.

I said, holy shit.

Yo, who is this nigga?

Oh, they found some nigga that's killing this shit.

Then he kept singing.

He's killing that. And by then, his slap is on.
I'm like, that's killing this shit. Then he kept singing.
He's killing that shit.

By then his slap is on. I'm like,

that's Benson Boone.

Nigga, I heard this song in every Walgreens visit

this year.

I heard this song in every CVS, boy.

This shit been

everywhere you could hear it.

This is Tom Selleck

got this in the tub. As soon as I said that shit, that nigga hit her front somersault.
He said, because while I'm watching him, when he took his outfit off, he got muscles. Like he's in shape.
I'm thinking the whites done found some nigga from the Olympics 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. He's giving me Freddie Mercury.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Or Elton John. Yeah.
Nah, Elton can't do no backflip. Okay, no, no.
Not with the backflip. I no, no I'm just talking about the outfit I'm just talking about the outfit Elton John used to wear onesies all the fucking time Sequin onesies Not Elton John, nigga You want to be cool with Elton John The outfit, yes I'm just talking about the outfit Yo, Mark, man You smell that Elton John shit, bullshit Elton John the outfit.
Yes. I'm just talking about the outfit.
Yo, Mark, man.

You know that Elton John said bullshit.

Elton John. The outfit, yeah.

Elton John used to come with

the sequence. Elton John ain't had a muscle

nowhere. But he definitely had, I said, not the muscle

and the flip. I said, not the flip.
We never saw

him stand up. We never saw

Elton John stand up. He stayed right here.

Yes, he did. But he never did a flip.

Anyway. I can't say that? No.
That Benson Boone performance, when he got done, standing over me. It was really good.
And that song is really good. Beautiful Things.
It's got like five million stars. No, that's the song.
It does sound like a fucking queen record. It's a slap.
Yeah. He smoked that shit.
He did. So then I went and dug in my fucking, I pulled out the race card and was like, of course they give this nigga 30 minutes to fucking.
They let him walk from the table, change clothes, do backflips, whatever. He had a long time of day.
But then they continued the new artist segment. Every one of them, every one of them immensely talented.
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.
All of them. 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 be like, who the fuck is that? That part. But it's always better if you can actually watch him perform that night.
Like, with Homeboy. It's like, oh, okay, now I see why.
At least you see why he won. Yeah, he should be in there.
This was where Dochi did her performance. So it was right after Benson's doing, it was Dochi.
Okay, yeah. I don't want to be that person.
What? You said they all have biggest songs of the year. Here you go.
That Dochi record wasn't big like that. Not like us is big.
Nigga, shut up. Not like us is big.
This is part A. Not like us is big.
Not like us is big. So our artist is the...
Okay. But then when Doshi comes out, oh my God.
I was so elated to finally see blacks. So whatever y'all was doing online about how she shouldn't have been there, if you take her away, there's no blacks.
You got John Legend on the keyboard. Even an opening.
No, but as I'm watching all of the great 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.
Like a lot of sauceless background people hitting the little. Doshi 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. Then I felt like she might have had some type of Tom Brown endorsement.
She did. Because that Tom Brown? The whole shit.
Everything was Tom. It was hidden.
The whole thing was Tom. It was hidden.
You ain't supposed to put these backup dancers in Tom Brown's.

I was about to say, their whole crew had the time on.

Yeah.

And then she took it off.

Don't let Benson Boom be the only way in.

Fuck out of here, Benson Boom.

Fuck out of here, Benson Boom.

She was booming.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

She was booming.

She looked absolutely marvelous.

She danced a spotty.

Smoked a performance.

I think after that was Teddy Swims.

Teddy Swims, I knew you wasn't about

to change outfits or do a whole lot of dancing.

Or snatch nothing off.

No, he smoked it. Standing in one

place, spotlight, highlight my

voice.

He absolutely killed it. And another one, huge

song. Y'all know this record.
Hey, sing

along. And then after that was Shibuzi

who, nothing to be said.

Nothing to be said. Go Shibuzi,

man. Hey, Shibuzi, next time we're in Starless, man,

Thank you. song.
Y'all know this record. Hey, sing along.
And then after that was Shiboozy, who, nothing to be said. Nothing to be said.
Go Shiboozy, man. Hey, Shiboozy, next time we install this, man.
Strip on me. Strip on me next time we install this, nigga.
You did that. And then the girl, Ray.
I wasn't really familiar with her. She went crazy.
Me either. I didn't know.
She's probably one of the best performances of that. I got introduced to her because 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.
And it's like a one-on-one

concert where she's standing in front

of you, singing to you, looking good like

that. Yeah, she looks good.
Salute.

When I first saw her, I was like, okay, we're getting

a 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 smooth.
I said, oh, my bad.

It's just... When I first saw her, I was like, okay, we're getting a little Amy Winehouse.
She's British. She's got the mole.
I was like, okay, Amy Winehouse-esque, but then her vocals. Her voice was different.
She's smooth. I said, oh, my bad.
She's like, no, no, I really do this. Mic is on.
Yeah. There you go.
Yeah, no, it's true. Let me see here.
And shout out DJ Miss Milan up there with Dolce. Yeah, for sure.
Let's go, Milan. Friend of me or friend of the show.
Friend of us. Shout out to Milan.
Friend of us. Shout out to DJ Shout out to DJ Milan Let's see this is the best segment thus far My cable cut off It's more my cable cut off My TV So this was the best new artist category right? The first hit Yeah who should I call? Me I got you on the Me.
I got you for the cable bill. Oh, please.
I got you for the cable bill. You know what I mean? It's Files.
It's expensive, nigga. Might be $400.
Might be $400. Files ain't playing, nigga.
Them niggas is different. What did you say, Mel? I was asking, this is the best new artist category, correct? Yes, that was the next thing.
So, Chapel Roan was in this category, and this is the award she won for. She won.
Okay, yeah. Again, another great project.
And then she bodied the speech. The speech.
Yeah. Slow down, because that's my very next note.
Okay, go for it. 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.
They are trying to shove this Chapel Roan girl down my throat. Slash.
Hold up. Hold up.
Hold up now. She in my bag.
It says, hold up. She started spitting.
She did. Bars.
I'm a fan for life. She got me.
She's a beast, yo. She tricked me.
She got me. Just looking at her, you was like, eh? Well, no, it just was a lot.
It was a lot of her. And I'm not all the way familiar with her or her story.
At all. So it just felt like a lot of her.
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.
She's been about fight to power, all that shit. So when she gave that, I never heard nothing like that in the award ceremony.
Same. I've never heard anything like that.
At the Grammys. 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 talk to their struggle with healthcare in the past, how they almost weren't here and then holds the labels accountable for us not having fucking health insurance, and then gonna end it with, hey, labels, we got y'all.
Do y'all got us? Nigga, I almost shed a tear. I was right up your alley.
What? I was right up your alley. Nigga, Chapel Rome for life.
This funny redhead makeup girl, I'm riding. Most of them niggas be too scared to piss somebody off doing it on that stage especially at that stage on that stage it's new crop different that's what it is she had that shit written down she pulled out the diary she pulled the journal out dog I was like oh here come these white bitches all this bullshit I'd like to thank Stanley Smith and I'd like to thank nah look the fucking audience tell me about it.
No, there was at least a partial standing ovation for that. All the artists.
All the artists. No.
Did the camera go over to Lucien at that point? He was like. Lucien was making the call.
Hey, get this nigga off stage. Let's see.
Quick question about Trevor. How did, maybe Park know the answer to this.
That's racist. That was racist.
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. What is the cutoff for winning this award? Because it felt like her album came out a million years ago.
It's usually with the year before. I don't know.
I thought it was a calendar year. But is it like month? Is it a calendar year or is it like month to month? No, it's a month to month thing.
I don't know the exact. I want to say something like December to December.
I could be wrong about that. December to September.
I forget. Because I swore her album came out August of 22.
You know what I mean? Or September of 22. None of us know.
Yeah. You might know.
We don't know. Okay.
It says it came out in 2023. Okay.
Okay. Look at you.
Yeah. It says it came out September 22.
Yeah, I think September is somewhere around there. And Mark, the dates, the Grammy eligibility dates are September 16th of 2023 to August 30th of 2024.
So anything dropped in that one. That's what I was trying to get.
Let's see here. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are dressed like the porridge family that was on purpose and they're doing California Dreams they bodied it but it was weird why? they bodied it but it was weird their whole get up was a nod to the mamas and the papas stop it yo Bruno Mars need to get the fuck out of here and go sit down for a couple years he did he sat in the fucking the fucking casino for a couple of years.
No, no, no. He needs to move now.
He needs to go back over there to MGM Casino Records or wherever he signed to. 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? 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.

But they did it for the fire.

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.

Because none of them there look like, oh, my house is burned.

They ain't look that worried.

I was looking at them.

They ain't look that worried. Them niggas bought houses.
I was looking for the homeless people. Them niggas looked to the teeth.
They looked amazing. What's wrong with you? I'm not supposed to say that.
No, man. I'm looking for the 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.

Hey, y'all in the skybox, donate, donate, donate.

And that fire segment was real sad.

It was.

It was very sad.

It was like depressing.

I was like, yo, why are they showing us, like, they had the red cams out there.

Nigga, if you don't go grab a fire hose.

They have to.

Why do they have red cams out there?

I felt like I was in the fire at my house. I wouldn't turn the air on.
I thought it was dope the way they did the local commercials. I don't know how offensive it was.
Local businesses. The martial arts one when they showed the martial arts.
The whole shit on fire. That shit was dope.
Yeah, that connected with you. So you go build some shit, nigga.
No, he's a yellow belt. He's a yellow belt.
And a yellow belt And a sports agent He's everything He's the pod's most interesting man Let's see let's see let's see Yada yada yada Grammy clap back to the weekend Oh shit the weekend Take it away Parks I was excited for the weekend part

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

Why was he up there

Lip syncing

And not even holding the mic

Cause we

Cause we going on tour

Starting in two months

It was weird

He's another one

That the 17 year olds

Ain't gonna try to convince me on

Yeah same

It's not for us

Them to convince us on

That nigga's God to them

Yeah

Thank you. months.
It was weird. He's another one that the 17-year-olds ain't gonna try to convince me on.
Yeah, same. It's not for them to convince us on.

That nigga's God to them. Yeah.

So, yeah. They should find

God. Nah.

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

They don't play about 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. What do we

think about the Grammy dude coming

out and saying, hey, y'all, we heard

Thank you. We got it right.
Yeah, I think they did. 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. That was a really nice suit that he had.
It was. Is he new? Like a new appointment? Last couple of years.
Ever since the white dude said that women got to try harder. Right.
That was crazy. That was crazy.
Right. Yeah.
So it looks like he put his money where his mouth is. He did.
They emphasized it before every award. 13,000 members of the Grammy committee have chosen Beyonce, whatever the fuck the award was.
It was evident. It was evident.
Yeah, and he said the voting committee has gotten younger. And more diverse.
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, when people say, oh, it's because they didn't know, bro. You got different people voting.
That old guard is gone. So Mel Torme ain't going to win every year.
Yeah. It just seemed like the people voting knew a little bit about music this year.
They did. Yes.
Like there wasn't as many curveballs or. I think the.
Or whitewashing. The.
Yes. The shit they did to the voting process where you can only pick a certain amount of categories helped a lot as well.
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.
you're a hip-hop dude, you shouldn't be voting on country. 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.
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. Well, this is how you actually make people care about the Grammys, by getting shit right, by getting the right voting community.
So yeah, if they're doing it this way, I give a fuck about the Grammys again. We all watched.
And it was great. I mean, my mom texted me like, mom has no business in music whatsoever.
It doesn't really even, she's a super passive. Her son's in it, She got business.
That's true. 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.

Especially from West Coast people.

Yeah, I'm really into it.

I got a lot of other texts from there.

West Coast people was texting me away, boy.

And then my dad texted me, this shit don't got no soul in the world.

I was like, yeah.

My man.

This was the best Grammys in a long time for me. It was.
They got a lot right. They did get a lot right.
Let's see. And then The Weeknd comes out.
I absolutely loved his performance. I loved him.
The mystique, the darkness. The scary arms.
All of those scary. Yeah.
Yeah, I liked it. It was great.
Great. Shout out to The Weeknd.
And all right, so now we have have the weekend there. We got a Chris Brown win.
Yes, sir. Jay-Z is here with Beyonce.
It's like, oh, there's a lot of factors that worked against us that we kind of got right. Yeah.
We made it right. The people that we want to see are here.
Yeah, they did. They did.
They got it right. Let's see.
J-Lo. Why is J-Lo speaking Spanish? I thought the same thing.
We don't have to say anything. I wrote it down, but we don't have to talk about it.
Mark, you want to answer why? Your dress looks nice. Who's our J-Lo expert? I'm the J-Lo expert.
Why was J-Lo up there speaking Spanish? I'm a J-Lo fan. I ain't the expert.
Why did she do that? And where was Sterling K. Brown?

I told y'all.

Sterling K. Brown

call that shit out every time.

Look at this bitch.

Oh, she from the Bronx again.

They said some shit about

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,

shut up, bitch. Like, yo, shut up, bitch.
You fucking up. J-Lo don't know no damn Spanish.
Shakira still look good, by the way. Yes, she does.
Oh, shit. Looks good? That's an understatement.
You're right. You're absolutely right.
Under fucking statement. She's 50.
48. 48, yeah.
That's a monster. She looks good.
Hey, hey, hey. Not 50 yet.
You're right. Okay.
Same shit. Is that the next note on your fucking phone? Okay, then let's get to it.
Shakira's performance. I mean, mute.
I muted the TV. I tweeted that.
She's fire on me, bro. The song was fire, though, too.
The song is fire? I know you guys didn't hear it over your drooling. Oh, she sings? Yes, she does.
Congratulations to Shakira. She got a little...
I was there when she first came out. That motherfucker started...
When she had hips? Yeah, hips don't lie. Are you done with our 48 year olds who still look good?

Go ahead.

A sneeze away from 50.

I know certain topics.

Let's see here.

Oh, I was done with that.

Kendrick, clean sweep.

Sweeping.

Let's get to it. Yo, if you're tired of our

Grammy talk, hit the little 15 second forward

skip button. Sorry, buddy.
Just fast forward to two hours. Hey, McCoy, pass of our Grammy talk, hit the little 15-second forward skip button.
Hit the two-hour button. Sorry, buddy.

Just fast forward to two hours. Hey, yo, McCoy, pass that to my man, yo.
Ladies and gentlemen, come on. Let's get to it.
Let's get to it. Get it.
What you got? The first three were in the early show. Early show.
Those were funny to me. Clean sweep.
I was shocked. Get the brooms out.
Wow. The first...

As big as that record was, they don't usually favor fucking battle rap or diss records or really even lyrical. That wasn't that.
That was still a commercial smash. Yeah, that shit.
That's number one record. It was impactful, y'all.
Real quick, there was a segment that stood out to me when he won the award how they played, they actually played the lyrics. At the clip.
They sure did. That shit fucked me up.
And everybody was singing along. Beyonce dancing.
Blue Ivy dancing. Taylor dancing.
I'm like, wait, what the fuck? And the whole stadium singing A minor. Yeah, now I'm seeing it for real.
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.
Aficionado. Singing along to everybody.
Singing along to this. And they didn't play the hook.
Yeah. That was the very first thing that popped out to me,

is that they never played the not like us hook.

And Kendrick, you got to knock it off, nigga.

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.

Definitely security guard.

Yeah, like he pasted out a little bit.

What y'all think of his fit?

The Canadian tuxedo. Chef's kiss.
Tell us about it, Canadians. I mean, there's a lot of debate because a lot of people don't know what a Canadian tuxedo is.
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. No, that's just a tuxedo.
That's an American thing. Yes.
Yes, it's what we think of y'all. It's just of y'all.
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, you know. I thought it was hilarious in the pregame when John Lennon's son came up and.
Oh, that was wild. John Lennon invented the diss track.
That's at the tone. John Lennon invented the diss track.
He was giving Paul McCartney bars on the Imagine album. That part.
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.
And it's going to be at the Super Bowl now. It's definitely going to be at the Super Bowl.
Now, seeing that like that, I said it's going to be. They cut the fucking record off at A minor.

Yeah.

No.

Bleeped out. No.

The whole audience

said A minor in unison.

Yeah.

But they bleeped out

the bitch.

And to fuck him up.

So this is the clean.

And they let the P word.

Yeah.

They let the P word fly.

They let pedophile fly.

Yeah.

They let his name fly.

It's y'all new kids

that's making niggas say

P word and PDF.

Nigga, it's a pedophile.

Well, at some point

Thank you. Let pedophile fly.
He let his name fly. It's y'all new kids that's making niggas say P word and PDF.
Nigga, it's a pedophile. At some point, that would get you flagged on line.
I guess Trump took the flag off. Yo, go outside and use the words that mean things.
But anyway, yeah. A-minded.
That was telling. That was telling.
Canadian tuxedoedo, telling. Great.
The panning into Beyonce,

two-step into this shit.

Nobody looked happier or more excited

than Taylor Swift. She had a champagne glass

up in the air, singing along.

Lucian looked a little happy. Lucian was real

happy. High-fiving this shit.

Yeah, but Lucian

was happy, but if Taylor Swift is happy,

you're going to assume that Lucian is happy.

They working in tandem.

Lucian is behind the scenes, he can feel like, you know what I mean, I'm moving covertly, high five, whatever, the camera shouldn't be on me. Taylor Swift knows the camera is on me at all times.
I was intentional. And I'm showing y'all, this is my man, this is my record.
And that should be horrifying for homeboy. If I was Homeboy, I done went to the hookah bar too.

They're tied in though too.

Taylor and Kendrick.

Her producer produced all of GNX.

Soundwave does shit for her.

They got a smash record together.

Nobody feels like

it's like, alright, man.

Kicking the dog while he's down. Nobody feels that way?

Like it's overkill now?

This shit is overkill to me. In America.
In my head, it's like, huh? How many people did you piss off? It's just overkill. It's like, enough.
I'm starting to feel. I'm starting to feel bad.
Before, it was like, it's a rap battle, but now I'm starting to feel bad because now it was... I don't feel bad.
I don't feel bad, but I know that it's close. I actually worry.
When I saw that whole stadium, like you said, Beyonce two-step and everybody's saying, hey, man, I'm like, yo, dude. This record's Ether and all them shits and hit him up and all that.
Them shits wasn't quite the same level of boppiness. This is the most awarded rap song in the history of rap songs.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

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.

I think for him it's like the industry hates me.

The choir got to sing at the funeral.

I think that the problem is that the song is too much of a bop.

If this was euphoria, then I would feel like you feel.

But this song was a bop, and that was the problem. You poke a bear that can make a fucking bop.
It happened last year in May. Nigga, we in January.
Super Bowl is around the corner. How long was in the club a bop, though? I mean, if a song is a smash.
In the club was a diss record. No, no, I'm just saying, if a song, I'm taking the diss off, I'm just saying, if a song is a smash.
We can't take a, the song is a smash, but it's at somebody else's detriment. Gotta be careful who you play with.
So what? I don't care. He did that.
He asked for it. What he said, Ice.
No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about that.
You need a button for that. If you take it, Dan, we're taking it further, yo.
I'm not saying that. No, I'm with you.
He's done that to people. But it's overkill, bro.
That was his shit. All right, okay.
He got beat with his own move. Well, I'm going to dish you and make it a club bop.
Okay, well, guess what? I'm going to dish you and make it a commercial bop. You can't hold the industry on your back for so many years and then now this happens like that.
With the respect. No, but here's the other part of that.
No, no, you hold the industry up, but you also treated a lot of people like shit. True.
A lot of people clearly hate you. So there's consequences to that.
If a whole stadium of insiders in the industry is screaming A minor, you done did some shit to somebody. That's why I'm in the middle.
I got a lot of text messages from people saying, yo, real talk, he had this coming. That's what I'm, me too.
It doesn't change the humanitarian in me. It doesn't change, I'm a human nigga, like, damn, I, you see niggas dancing, niggas kids dancing, singing A minor.
It's just like, oh. We said all of this, We said all of this when it was happening.
In terms of how long the record was number one. In terms of this looking like an orchestrated attack amongst everybody.
Now, that just looked like what the Not Like Us video should look like. Saying it and seeing it's two different things, though, Joe.
The music industry kind of dancing on your grave, singing along to this song, cheering, applauding this record. Like, that was, Drake did it right now.
Nigga, I'm in Australia taking fucking mirror pics, nigga. I'm going to Australia to sing karaoke.
I'm in purse. Are y'all shitting me? I'm in purse.
All right. Yeah, nah, I'ma get low.

The Lucy and Dre high five to me was like,

like made me start doing science.

Like it's like.

Science is right there.

What do you mean?

Science in terms of, for me, what I mean is,

like when I was introduced to Dr. Dre, which is 90, 91, and it's 2025.
This business is relationships. That means that Dre, since 91, has made all of these relationships.
I don't know when he got to Interscope, but when there he gave y'all snoop early 90s eminem we're talking about hundreds of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of millions of dollars i gave y'all snoop i gave y'all eminem i gave y'all 50 cent i gave y'all me then i got with jimmy ivine and gave yall headphones my cachet if I'm calling somebody to say

something it's

heard differently 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

that

was it

so no matter how powerful

I'm going to go. a lot about the Illuminati, the imaginary, the cabal.
That was it. Yes.
So no matter how powerful you think the Drake slaps are, they were showing you. They were just showing you 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 that. You can't win.

It's an uphill battle.

I thought about all the people that have tried to win against that front.

They lost.

You can't.

They all lost.

I said that before.

What they did was had to leave.

When we talk about Kanye 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.

The power come with the time and the relationships,

and your son got caught DUI. You just pick up the phone and be like, yo, make that go away.
Because you know the judge. Or you play golf with the judge.
You know what I'm saying? That's the power. The power is in your network equity.
That's the power. So when we talked about the Kanye shit, he rolls 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 and the trenches with that nigga and I know they kids. You don't have that.
And so it was so easy for him to get canceled. I think some of that shit is being evidently shown with Drake.
Then I thought about all of Drake's antagonizing of Kendrick to even drop anything. Yeah, I thought about that too.
That's going to go down as one of the worst mistakes ever made in hip-hop. Like y'all said earlier, really easy to ignore like that.
Really easy to ignore. Or just keep it playful.
No, don't say nothing to that nigga. That nigga's coming in here to kill you and your entire family like a Daylight episode.
Leave him alone. Don't say nothing.
Don't play with him. Y'all dare you to drop.

I've been waiting for years. I've been hearing about this mythical

record you got. You made that nigga go make a

whole fresh new slap.

You made that nigga go get with mustard and make

some shit. Posting a red button.

Yeah, I feel

that's the part that made me feel bad for

Homeboy when you just think about

some of the moves in hindsight.

That's because he believed

again, I think a lot of this

Drake really believed that he was one of them with Lucian. They made him believe that.
Yeah but you gotta you can feed someone and give them access to all your resources and make them feel a way but at the end end of the day, the people at top are the ones that's in control.

It's like putting a...

He thought he was at top.

It's like on a hamster wheel.

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.

And to be a student of the game as he claimed to be, you've seen this happen to other people.

No, you didn't.

Who thought, I can name one off the top that we all saw it happen to, that thought he was bigger than the system. Name him.
50. No, he didn't.
He did think he was bigger. 50 wasn't Drake.
Huh? 50 wasn't Drake. Wait, hold on.
Well, nobody's Drake. 50 was not Drake.
It's a different time. He was Drake of that time.
Nobody's Drake. He was worldwide superstar of that time.
Yeah, he was. It's a different game, of course.
He was Drake pre-Drake.

Yeah, but Drake is a lot bigger.

It's a different evolution.

He's the evolved version of that.

But he walked around believing that he was bigger than Interscope.

Nobody's Drake because Drake is in a streaming era.

But without streaming.

Right, right.

But he walked around believing that he was bigger than Interscope. And 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 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.
I'm saying that he didn't have a reason not to believe that. He's never seen nobody come before him that was him.
50 had two albums that were dominant. Two.
This nigga had two decades that were dominant. He had way more than two albums.
Hold on. The niggas that was on Gene was dominant at the time too.
He had way more than just two albums. I said two albums that were dominant was the 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. He's not 50 cent.
The point stands. Yo, Drake has never seen somebody come before him that was him.
Not Jay-Z, not Eminem, not none of them have been him. So for him to say that, so for him to think that he's in a class all of his own, even though he's mistaken, he had a right to feel that.
You don't think M had an impact like that? He never run like Drake. Not a run.
Just raw numbers. Impact.
I think he's talking about the numbers. I think that...
We're talking numbers that we're putting Eminem in that... If you talk numbers, you're putting Eminem in that category.
Yes. 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 Em a little bit. Em is a student of hip-hop.
True. No matter how big M was or is, he was never going to say anything to Tretch or Redman or Kane.
Man, not just that. Even if he went home and felt like his dip on my chip, he would never present him.
He would do the opposite. He worships them niggas.
Anytime he get in front of a camera, that nigga brings up. Yeah, I don't think it's fair.
I don't think it's fair to bring him up. This is what I think happened with Drake.
And 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.
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. He didn't see the play.
Exactly. He did not see the play and understand.
How would you? I'm not saying that he was supposed to. That's what I'm saying.
And I'm not defending that. Because if you give a person, you say this, if you give a person the ability to feed you, they were the reason why you did this.
You don't think that, though. That's where the naivety comes into play.
It's like, you didn't do this. They did this.
It's a joint effort. He doesn't think that.
He definitely doesn't think that. And he booed as if he didn't think that.
It's a joint effort. So now they have to remind you he's learned it.
Today he's learned it. That's it.
And this is also, this ain't just a message for Drake. This is for anybody else, too.
What? I don't think he learned it today. I think that Drake feels like they suppressing my shit, and that's the only reason my shit not going.
I think that Drake feels like, yo, if I had a fair, even field to play on, my shit would go. They suppressing it.
You never had a fair, even feel to play on. If he's saying that, then in my opinion, he's learned it.
Because dude with the dip on his chip didn't think there was a way to ever suppress me. Suppress my chip.
I'm me. True.
So if today he's realizing some of the things that lesser artists have realized, which is a lot of it is them, how the spins and the videos and the people in every city. And everybody in every city, every major city in the country is playing your shit the second that it drops.
And that's why, not to speed up, because we can finish. Well, this is the end of the shit.
This is the end of my fucking notes. But 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 Trey songs

and Fantasia is performing in Atlantic City

on Saturday the 15th.

Oh, word?

Yeah. I'm going to have to make it double-headed.
the 15th. Oh, word? Yeah.

I'm going to have to make it double-headed. Side chick day.

That's side chick day.

That ain't bad. That ain't a bad show neither.

That ain't a bad show.

Both of them make them get along for a little thing.

He announced that project.

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.
It's either the greatest chess move ever or another big mistake. Yeah.
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 and or doesn't do numbers it's going to look really fucking bad.
That's where I'm at. I'm at what? I don't think the quality is banging.
There's some people that could I don't think it matters. 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. There's some people that could say that Australian tour while all of this bullshit is going on in America is a great idea.
Great for who, though? For him. For his mental health.
For his ego and his mental health. Well, no.
In Australia, he's a packed house over there. Yeah.
I haven't been here in two years. Which means I'm him.
I'm going to pack it over here. Well, great.
Then let me reap some of the benefits of colonizing sounds. If my run is done here, I'm moving over here.
Absolutely. That's what I'm saying.
So now with this move, this is my only thing with this move. With what I saw at the Grammys, this ain't a universal release.
This is not universal. I want to see how it's dropping.
I'm guessing. I don't know.
From what I saw at the Grammys. OVO, right? And that's.
That's somebody else. That's Warner.
One and O. Yeah.
So now, this is where I say it may be a mistake. I don't know.
That support. So now this is not a Drake party project, even though it is because Drake is doing little moves to still be present and, and, and seen out here while he's going through this bullshit.
But if this is a party project with Warner or put both of them together, it's Warner support. Well, I looked it up.
And Warner support ain't going to look like UMG support. 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.
Party ain't for everybody. You're not a fan? No.
I'm a party fan from some people that's with it and some people that's not. Yeah, I'm with it not.
I understand. Sometimes I cut on options or some of them classic party shit, and people are like, turn the shit off.
We're not vibing. We're not jamming.
If creatively it's an amazing project, how it does while all of this is going on, it could be bad. 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.
I just think that right now he has a bad taste in everybody's mouth, pause, and I think that niggas is not gonna support that project. I just don't think, I think that he's lost the favor of millions and millions of people.
Well, but fans are fickle too. You put out one slap, they'll come right back.
It's not just that. I mean, 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. 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 worldwide.
Two, all

of these albums and streams

that you name it are the streams that we invested

in and we eating off of.

We just not down with new Drake.

Good point.

And, yo, we still want to eat.

Internationally, he's still him.

We eating. We working

all of this shit. Stream it up.

We got to deal with Spotify,

with Hanes underwear. We got to deal

Thank you. internationally.
He's still him. We're going to eat.
We eating. We working all of this shit.
Stream it up. We got to deal with Spotify, with Hanes underwear.
We got to deal. No, you're right.
Run this up. That makes sense.
You're right. It's the new music that we're like, hey, we out on that.
We got another answer to one of your questions. Give it to me.
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.
Matter of fact, send that record over to Rihanna. I just want to breathe the air that Rihanna breathes.
Everything is lost in. That's what he needs.
He needs two or three of those. Who? Who? Drake.
Two or three of what? Khaled Records? He needs a smash. Like, them Khaled 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. I just don't think it's enough to get him back in the good graces of the world.
He performed Carcadian Rhythm first night in Australia. So, the conversation would be, I'm with you.
But a smash is not just your ability to make one, but who's paying for it?

And that's why I brought up Warner support versus UMG support. So

let's say he makes it.

Who's paying for it right now?

Not just that. Like, who's pushing this?

Yeah, because... That's the part that he gotta

get worked out. He could go make a slap.

But if Universal

and Taylor Swift and

Beyonce and Billie Swift and Beyonce and

Billie Eilish and all of the rest of them

is like, eh,

we're off it.

When the last time

Drake and Khaled worked?

The record worked.

There you go. You took it out of my mouth.
Pause.

Actually, I'll take that whole comment back.

The two short flip?

Yeah, it was wild.

That was disgusting.

The two short flip?

Probably, right? What two short flip? Damn. Is it just me? Not that one.
The fucking... Yeah.
Nigga, that one's 2013 or something. I know.
And that one on a Caleb brush. He did for free.
Fuck me for free. Yeah, for free.
That's 2016, right? Pipe down. No, no, no.
Oh, no, not pipeipe Down. Free.
Yeah, for free. Grease.
Grease. Grease is the other one.
Pop Star. They haven't worked.
They ain't worked. So, cool.
Give Caled, too. Yeah, I don't know if anybody cares.
Free didn't look like him no more. It depends.
And Caled is on Epic, right? He is, yeah. It depends who's on.
Caled is on Epic. I don't know if Caled got my.
Let me shut up. It depends on what? Who else is on Epic? Caled is on Epic, right? He is, yeah.
It depends who's on. Khaled is on Epic.
I don't know if Khaled got...

Let me shut up.

It depends on what?

Who else is on Epic?

Khaled is on Epic.

Future is on Epic.

They started this whole shit.

Don't come in here with a drink recognition.

Too Short Record was on Khaled, and it was in 2016.

That was the last thing that worked, in my opinion.

The freestyle was on a Khaled project?

That was for free.

That was for free.

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.
I forgot what I was saying. But I'm just saying, I don't like Cali saying this right now.
That doesn't... Cali cold as ice right now.
That's my point. Respectfully.
Respectfully. But he's cold as ice.
Puff gone. Like before Khaled used to say.
I would be sleeping in front of Rihanna's house if I'm Khaled. And she might say.
Rihanna the one. Who else on this album? Yeah, because she's down with it.
Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of politics going on now.
I don't know what... Cali dropped today.
What does that album do? All his people... I don't know, so we got to see.
I believe in Cali's ability to create a record. You need people to create a record.
Yeah, you need the people. I like that Grease shit.
I did. I thought it was smooth.
I got your I thought it was smooth. Grease.
I got you. If you didn't hear some of them other shit, you definitely didn't hear Grease.
I got you right now. Let's see.
Yeah. Nah, I like it.
It may not be a hit, but I like it. We the best music.
Hey, I like this shit. Another one.
Another one. Khaled Hey, I like that This is cool Hey Hey Hey that's weird.
What? Please, shut up. I'm just asking.
Yo, and. I'm talking about commercials.
Theids ain't working no more. Call me crazy.
I don't think that Drake just do a whole bunch of singing and la-da-da-da-da with Party Next Door. I definitely believe track 14 or somewhere.
He ain't done with y'all. He ain't going to let y'all know how he feel about some things on that R&BF secret track.
Just let it keep playing. Let the silence fade out and get a little bit of silence.
He come back in. He going to tear somebody up.
And I'm going to listen. I'm going to listen to it.
I'm going to listen to it. I'm listening.
Kendrick's speech. Kendrick, anything? Give me anything, Kendrick, before we close this Grammy topic.
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 sweep! But I did like the... Respect the art.
Clean sweep! Respect the art form. That's it.
I thought that was perfect. We are the greatest culture there is.
Saying it in front of fucking Chapel Row and all of them. Yo, rap runs this shit.
I know y'all doing y'all numbers. 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 dancing bullshit is floating.
We run this shit. Clean.
Clean sweep. I tried to tell y'all that last part.
Clean sweep. Sweep him up.
Yeah, I didn't think he was going to sweep him up. I didn't think it was going to be record of the year.
That was the one I didn't think he'd get. But it was a record of the year.
No, I was wrong. Record of the year is usually an award more so for the songwriters.
And that record ain't really intricate. Third verse.
No, I'm just saying. Third verse.
He compared him to the Slaves. I thought it would get song of the year.
I didn't think record of the year. I didn't think record of the year.
That was the one I thought was questionable. That was not free.
Third verse. Comparisons.
That is the most impressive year by a rapper I've ever seen in my entire life. Let's go, Pops.
And all of one damn song. And it ain't over yet.
It ain't over yet. Yeah, we still got one more.
It was the pregame. Now, it may have hurt more because we didn't know that the Grammys was going to look and feel like that.
Yeah, we didn't know that. We had no idea.
The Super Bowl, we kind of been bracing up for. But if the Grammys sent him to the Australian hookah bar to sing karaoke.
He's going to the moon next. Dog, yeah.
Because he's seen what happened last night. Of course.
He's 100% seen it. I don't give a fuck how many little slaps he was singing up here I think he had an inkling it was gonna happen nigga what's that name of the shit Imani be watching Red Stream Red Stick, Red 2 Drake had that fucking Red 2 and he gonna have it up next week and next week gonna be it's gonna be I want to sit in the toilet for that one.
Don't eat for the day? Yeah. Where does he go from here, though? He should just turn the Wi-Fi completely off the phone next week.
No, turn the phone off. Throw the phone.
Yeah, I don't even need a phone. You don't need no phone today.
I need no phone. And not the next day? Nope, I got shows to do.
I'm going to do my shows. I got fans here.
I'm still up here. Turn the TV off for real.
Yeah. Turn the TV off.
Turn the TV off. Do you think that him being active is hurting him more? I don't think he's been active.
Active as far as the tours, still on social media? That don't count. You got it.
I mean, not talking about music. We're talking about just presence.
You know, your face being out there. I think that's good for his mental health.
I think him sitting in the house, sitting down, it would be way more... Some people take a hiatus when certain shit happens.
We've been saying that since before the whole this shit happened. And they fucking come back like Cain, nigga.
That he should have sat down. No, I think him moving around is definitely positive for him.
It's reinforcement. It's affirmation that I'm still him.

I'm over there with them fickle niggas in the United States.

Yeah, they ain't fucking with me.

But the whole other side of the world is still draked out.

You get what I'm saying?

I think he needs that for his own emotional support.

I agree.

I agree.

Because I don't want him to hurt himself.

Yeah, that should have become me either. Nah, nah, that's not.
He never did it. I don't think he'll do that.
I don't know what to hurt himself Yeah that shit would be coming He never did it I don't think he'll do that He'll ignore the next nigga He'll ignore the next nigga He'll let some shit pass This too shall pass He should be the picture of that motherfucker Keep it friendly I don't think so I think it's the exact opposite I gotta show you n. I got to show you niggas.
I still, I got to make an example.

I think he'll plan it out better.

That.

I don't think he would rush into it.

That.

I said he did it best.

Niggas is in the studio.

He rushed into it better this way.

Uploaded shit, Pox.

Yeah.

Press the button, boom.

Five seconds later, boom.

Yeah.

Remember that shit?

That shit fucked us up, man.

He came off a tour.

Oh, my God.

A year and a half.

I don't think he has the same grip on things, Pox.

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.
It's just different times now. And he might be the last one to realize that, but it's possible.
It's different times. Man, you make a comeback, man.
No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I ain't counting him out. Make the slaps.
I ain't counting him out. All y'all out there out there, his career's over.
No, no. There's none of that.
None of that. He was up high enough to where the fall off, it's going to be a while anyway.
Yeah, yeah. He was all the way the fuck up there.
Stratosphere. Hey, save your laugh for when he get on the train, at least.
Don't play with him while he's falling. He fuck around.
Catch a pitch. He catch a pitch now.
I throw him a wing. Yeah.
He can start gliding. Solid tape.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You go catch a 40-pack.
Okay. This is exactly what I need to talk to the people I want to talk to.
The crazy part is that. Where's the nearest to Calum? Like, when we said last time, I don't want to go back to to it but When you listen to how good Family Matters is and you're just not like us It's just It's like my nigga It wasn't not like us But that shit on blast I know we talked about it I have I like the record I still listen to the whole None of't matter.
Artists make songs all the time that they believe are super fire. True.
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 doing, yo. I'm going to let you just hear something real quick.
Their assistant is going to put it in, and he's going to play it. And if they feel it, awesome.
But if you ain't like that, your song going to be the greatest shit in the world. All right, thanks.
Get out. Bring him on to 1215, please.
Yo, bring him on 1 o'clock meeting. Thanks a lot.
No, I got you. On the Wednesday meeting, we'll talk about it.
Like, Drake is great. So 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 and the chemistry behind it, no, you kind of need each other.
You kind of need each other. I can make Not Like Us right now and hit upload.
There's four people going to hear it. One needs more than another.
100 do nothing not a thing 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 it's a marriage everybody keeps saying that marriage thing i think this is evident it's a, but everybody ain't coming to the table equally in that marriage.

Yeah.

It remains to be seen.

Drake maybe feels different

if there's no Taylor Swift, too.

Mm-hmm.

Like, that's what he's saying

in the song.

He like, yo,

it's a miscalculation

on his behalf.

But he's like, yo,

Taylor got you wiped down.

No, Taylor has everybody wiped down. No, but he's naming, he said, I think he said, he said, SZA got you wiped down.
Taylor got you wiped down. Somebody, Travis, right? SZA's my friend.
He's looking at these niggas like, yo, these are. No, he wasn't saying Taylor.
Taylor had them wiped down. He was talking about the other thing.
He didn't say that in the Wipe Down People. Yes, he did.
Like, yo, he looked like. No, he didn't say it's a mutt.
Yeah, he was, he didn't say Taylor had you wiped down. He said 21 got you wiped down.
He looking at global brands, bro. But he has said in lyrics before, it's just pointing.
It's only Taylor I'm looking at. Yeah, like, 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. I think this nigga's just seeing something totally different.
So you saying he don't look, when niggas is coming to the table, you can't tell a nigga again that has had music, him, Taylor Swift, the name of three, four, five other people. We held this whole industry up.
You can't tell me that I'm not coming to the table with equal equity. Again, that could be a mistake on his behalf as well.
I think it's a mistake. because the music industry has existed for years without you.
You didn't get here without us allowing you to. So we are more important in this conversation than you are at this table.
Now to what he can say is replace me. But by that premise, that premise assumes that Kendrick Lamar doesn't sell records too, which is not accurate.
No, it's not. I don't think that that premise is based on it.
I think it's based on my impact around the world. Sure, sure.
It's not that. That's what I'm saying.
So now he can go tell Lucian, replace me. And you'll get replaced.
We'll see. I think he's already replaced.
I don't think so. Well, who? Do you always have to replace with a single person? Nope.
The Taylor Swift dress and theatrics and relationship and Lucien's appearance and how happy he was. 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? Like on Def Jam back in my day, 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

six million,

seven million. They didn't even know Kanye's

name. It's like, hey, wait, we competing with

them too? So they don't

really care about the genre. Can somebody

come in here and do that? And I'm

sitting next to my horse. One of them niggas here I'm sitting next to...
Sabrina Carpenter is right here. So cumulative, we can replace you.
But as far as the hip-hop portion of our puzzle... They don't care so much about that.
That's the unfortunate part. They're not really looking to, hey, we'll get all our hip-hop from TDE.

And not just that, dog.

Outside of that, we ain't

looking to find the next not us. We really got what

we needed out of you, which was

the move to

streaming. We did that.

We did it. And we also have your catalog.

It's just not going nowhere. Exactly.

So you are disposable

right now. You might think you not.
You think you were the global going nowhere. So you are disposable right now.

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.

Yeah, music showed him that.

State can't show him that.

He's still the man in his respective, like, he left to go do big business in other places.

And I disagree. I think that Drake's absence was felt the last two years in music.
To who? Fans. The populace.
The industry. The populace.
I think the populace. What does populace mean? The masses.
The industry to the fans. Like the streets.
Like not streets. I mean, but just the masses.
I think that up here we've seen that music has not really given us much. The last couple years, we ain't have no Cardi.
We begged for SZA. We didn't have no Drake.
Kendrick put out the battleship, 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 album. That wasn't Drake.
Who was it? Careful. That was two years ago, right? That was Throwaways.
23. That was Drake throwaways.
I'm not going to say that, but... Bro.
All right. What if he doesn't think that those...
Hold on, hold on. What makes...
Now it's going to seem like you're going to go ahead. No, I was just going to ask, what makes you think that he believes that these were throwaways? What if this was a legit effort? I was about 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.
I think he's been beefing with these niggas for a long time. It shows that his projects he don't really give a fuck about.
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.

But if he felt that way, why would he be getting so mad

at Joe and me and other people that reviewed

it poorly?

They fixed it. I think it was about

the dialogue. I think Drake

is Luka Doncic and

Lucien and the labels is

the Mavs new ownership group. That's possible.

That is possible.

And we'll get to that trade in a second. There's a lot to get to.
To your point, Ish, I missed... Listen, when that Drake P&D shit was announced, I was excited.
Bro, music misses Drake. I want to hear that.
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 in the race.
I think plenty of people miss Drake. Music misses Drake.

Music misses Cardi. Music misses some of these heavy-hitter niggas that we have not really heard from in a couple years.
I totally agree with you. Music has been lackluster out here.
I just think my counter to that is this game that's being fought is outside of the hands of fans now. True.
I agree with that. I'm with you.
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.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
It's out of our hands now. And I don't even be knowing the B-sides like y'all.
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? Clean sweep.
I think that shit is well deserved. Sweep him up.
I think it's no, not even. I'm just being theatrical.
No, I'm just saying, I don't think it's not, nothing nobody can say. That nigga deserved every fucking award he got.
That song is fucking amazing. 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 names out. I ain't done with Metro.
Metro, you little short-mouthed fucking here, punk. 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. There's anything else super important.
Please feel free. Go ahead.
Get in your bag. Get your shit off.
Yeah. I forgot.
Hold up. Big Chris.
Well, why the fuck was Janelle Monae up there doing that instead of Chris Brown? Well, you know why Chris Brown wasn't. We don't know.
If you're in the process of getting things right, we don't know. If y'all really wanted to get it right and really hit a home run, he know the dances that they did last year.
We all seen the dances on the back door that we seen last year. 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. Just lift the curtain up and let that nigga be right there.
No, lift the curtain up and let it be, what's it called? Silhouette. Let it just be a silhouette with the hat.
Nigga throw a hat.

Over.

Now.

I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt.

Well, Rihanna can advocate for him if this

ASAP trial would end. Hold up.

It's stupid. It should.

Because she would.

I feel like she would call.

I'm just saying.

I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt. The Grammys.
The Grammys. We don't know that that didn't happen.
With him, y'all keep reaching out to me at different award shows and I'm getting fucked. Y'all fucking me at the last minute.
Don't call me because that's what he said last time. He said, yo, just leave me alone.
Don't even call my phone. He did say that.
If you're serious about it, call me next year. Something else.
If you're serious about it, pencil me in for next year. I know this is your first rehabilitative Grammy.
Rebranding. Getting it right.
If you really mean it, let's continue to build the relationship. And next year we work.
If that curtain went up and that nigga was standing out there with just a hat. With the socks and the...
Come on. Yo.
And ain't nobody see him in the stands the whole fucking broadcast. Man, the roof would have came off that building.
We got fucking tipsy Janelle. I was sitting there like, oh, she about to body this.
No, she did not body this. No, she about to fuck off.
I was moved. Yo, I was just hoping she didn't fall off that table So bad, my nigga Please don't fall, mama I vacuumed again I missed a spot Shout out to Janelle Monae Friend of the show Very talented woman Just wasn't her name Hard to do mic, bro It is Everybody can, bro.
It is. Extremely.
Everybody can't do mic. All right.
That's the Grammy. That's the Grammy.
That's the Grammy. I want to hit the round of applause for the Grammy's getting it right this year.
For sure. I'm going to hit the round of applause for the Grammy's getting it right this year.
Come on now. I was just on two pods ago shitting on the Grammy.
I ain't watching that shit. No, they did they think.
I did go to the movies in the middle of the Grammys. This movie was so bad, I was only there for 15 minutes.
What did you go to the movie? Flight Risk. Mark Wahlberg.
Kiki shit. How was that? I want to go see that.
You was bored. It wasn't for me.
Shade need to come home. You was bored to go to Flight Risk.
He missed that,? When I realized that. This nigga just doing anything.
When I said I 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. New movie theater.
I love the movie theater. Gave my chicken spring rolls.
Yeah. Gave my little water popcorn.
I'll do it now. A little chip witch.
So when I said I wasn't going to watch the Grammys, I ordered some movie tickets. And they suit me up.
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, eh, whatever. I walked out of here about 20 minutes.

Wow. Don't worry, man.
Back at home.

Back home in time. Back at home alone.

The rest of the Grammys.

You know, wait on my baby's your beer soon.

On the phone. And you watched the Kiki

Scissor Jam. I did.
I did. Was that any better? You said it wasn't for you.
Why? It wasn't. That's racist.
No. No, it's not racist.
It was entertaining. It's just, it was like.
Younger demo? Yeah. It felt like women would enjoy that movie more.
It was like a buddy. Yeah, maybe I am.
It was like a buddy comedy that was centered around women, and it felt like women would enjoy it. My wife loved it.
Like the way the crowd was. Like a girl's trip type of vibe? No.
Like Red Man and Method Man, but women? There we go. Wow.
Damn, man, she's good. I'm not watching Kiki Palmer do anything.
It felt like an episode of Insecure, kind of, but with a budget. Got it, yes.
Like, I watch it. It's entertaining.
You didn't miss nothing. I didn't miss nothing.
Got you. But take your wife.
You guys would have a good time. I think that's going to be the movie I got to find something to do Y'all had y'all run This nigga stupid This nigga's an idiot Yo, what's wrong with you, son? It's true, though Hey, Trump won now Hey, K-I-K-K-E All right, girl D-E-I movie Yo, this nigga's stupid, yo You called it a D-E-I movie.
This nigga's stupid, yo.

You called it a D-E-I movie? No, he called it that.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

I was piggybacking on what you said, though.

I only want to see Keke Palmer fight with her baby daddy.

That's it.

All that shit, where she's showing talent, you got it.

Big T is here now.

I like Keke usually.

I love Keke.

Big T is here.

I love her, too.

I ain't nobody.

You got it.

This part is cool.

Next part, we're doing talented black women that we all hate.

I'm sick.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Again?

Oh, man.

Give us an example.

I won't be here. If I give examples, my dad will be on my phone for the next rest of the week.
Who does your dad like? Everybody. Block.
Give us a condo. Pop, don't play that shit.
Next time you see dad, my dad just ask him, I was wondering something, man. How many hits Roberta Flack got? Like, honestly.
Wait. Ask him that.
Ask him that. He's anti-Roberta Flack? No.
Oh, the opposite. Oh, oh, oh.
No. He's not anti-nobody that's from back in the day, but if you ever just want to fuck with him.
Hell, man. Honestly, real quick.
Pat him a belly ass slap. Was Smokey really that dude? Ask him.
Lauryn Hill took Roberta's flat slap. So she snatched it right from her.
What she was going to do about it? What you going to do about it, Roberta? Let me get that. Let me get that.
She's snatched. That's a Lauren song.
It is. We don't.
Yeah, we don't. What, say something, Mark? Y'all trash, man.
This is bullshit, man.

That's generational.

Last generational.

Roberta killed that shit.

It's on the Dolly Parton.

Don't nobody know it.

Yeah, nigga.

Whitney took that, nigga.

You don't want my unpopular opinion about that.

I'll be sure saying it, too.

Whitney took that, nigga.

What's your unpopular opinion?

She know everything I'll be sure song.

It's something.

Hold on.

What's your popular opinion?

We moved on.

No, we didn't.

We moved on.

The show has to go on.

We didn't get it.

No, we didn't.

What is it, Mark?

You thought Dolly did it better than we did?

I love you. Hold on, I love you.
For me, is just as good. It's different, but it's just as good.
We're about to jump this nigga. What? Just as good as what? It's Whitney's version.
That's what he's trying to say. Alvin and the Chipmunk version.
This nigga's fucking good. Y'all disrespect.
Dolly Parton gets disrespected so much. That's all I'm going to say.
Am I disrespected Dolly Parton? I love Whitney's version. It's not even close.
And you can tell me this version isn't as good as Lawrence too, right?

I can't believe you said that.

Where is Wycliffe?

This one makes it good.

Mark, stop it, yo.

Come on, man.

This arrangement is way better.

Mark, stop it.

It's timeless.

The Fuji's version is not... I love it.

I need an iced caramel macchiato.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait a minute.

Yo, let me get a little... You think it's a opinion To say the butter flax version Is a better arrangement? A lemon loaf with a pistachio latte Y'all wildin And I want the birthday cake pop too I like those Your treat with that bum ass take You payin nigga You think that this version Isn't as good as Lauren? Y'all crazy.
Y'all just from the 90s. That's all.

I bet your pop would agree with me.

That's what I'm saying.

That's just some 90s shit.

If you ask most people, they're not going to say that.

This shit is beautiful. Sound like some fucking elevator music, though.

Bro, you are out of your mind.

You don't like this version?

This shit is cool if I'm making tea.

This shit is...

This shit is... This shit is cool if I'm in a hospital bed this shit is...
This shit is...

This shit cool if I'm hard of hearing.

You think we're going to fuck

the elevator music?

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

I love this version.

I don't want to hear no Philly voices right now, yo. You hear this shit? Get that stupid elevator music out of here, nigga.
Let me tell you something. This shit sound like I'm going to hold.
I bet you everybody.

Representative.

Wait.

Representative.

Press one.

Everybody 60 and older will agree with me.

You're not 60.

You're not 60.

They wrong.

That doesn't.

What the hell does that mean?

I'm saying it's generational.

You not 60.

So I can't agree with somebody older?

You wrong.

Can you hold up for me?

Is that a.

Hold up.

Mark, listen.

Listen to Wyclef Park.

I love this song.

Wow, Jesus.

That's my bad.

I waited five hours to watch you sing this shit last week.

Get this shit out of here.

Oh my God.

Press three.

Yeah, get that.

Y'all, y'all.

Buggin' buggin', Martin.

So you just don't like, you feel like that

but all Roberta Flack music or it's just this?

I don't know nothing.

He tried to move the gold pole.

He tried to move the gold pole.

I'm not moving the gold pole.

If you don't like this sound, you say this shit sound like it's boring. I'm saying it don't sound boring to me.
I don't think so. I think it should say.
Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark. Mark, you talking over greatness.
I did not say that. It's you in the kitchen.
Be on the bike. It's you in the kitchen.
Mark, you talking over greatness. I thought it was a break.
Yeah, I thought it was a break. 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.

She ain't the only one that got a slap taken from her.

No, we did this one time where we talked about the covers,

and sometimes the cover was better than the original.

Let me chill out.

Slap.

Go ahead. Slap get took.
What? People don better than the original. Let me chill out.
Let's get to it.

What?

People don't know the original exists.

No, I'm just saying that we had this conversation like, you know, a while ago where we talked

about.

It ain't just better.

It's as Dolly Parton.

It is the only version.

Yes.

As Dolly Parton who did it better.

It's the only version.

Yeah, listen.

I can't shit on smoking.

Hey, Joe, don't start no shit.

You right, though?

I can't, though.

I'm sorry. Ask Dolly Parton who did it better.
It's the only version. Listen.
I can't shit on Smokin'. Hey, Joe, don't start no shit.
He right, though. I can't, though.
Whatever. I can't say it, but I can't say it.
I don't know. I can't say it.
This is a lot better than the Roberta Flack. Yes, this is a better fight.
But it's far apart still. It's closer.
It's closer. Nah, this is fine.
I can't do that to Smokin'. This is fine.
This is all the way fine. You way fine.
But what's better? Go play the other one. Let it play, nigga.
Let it play a little bit. Nah, I ain't gonna let y'all do that to Smokey.
And if you want it, you got it forever. This is not a one-night stand.
You can't play with Smokey. I don't know Let the music take your mind 50 and up, 50 and up right now Let's go, man Let's go, man You're going my way You're going go.
I love it when we're cruising together. The music is playing slow.
Cruising his name. I can't shit on Smoker.
I ain't gonna hold you. We got shit on him.
We just told him the truth. I'm gonna put another one.
To me, still, somebody slap is different Sometimes it's just different Alright Okay go ahead Play your boy Play your boy Hey I ain't gonna It's not I'm not gonna do that It's nice I will I'm not gonna say It's great It ain't nice I will Hold up though Baby let's cruise What the fuck y'all talking about This just sound like butter Hey Y'all tripping it. You think this kills it too? Yes.
That Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston, is not even a conversation. No, I said it's an unpopular opinion.
I'm just a Dolly Parton fan. No, it's your opinion.
I'm agreeing with that. It's not unpopular.
It's yours. I'm a Dolly Parton fan.
I love my mother more than damn near anything breathing. Yeah.

If my mother made that Dolly Parton version and Whitney Houston did what she did.

You not like the Dolly Parton version

or you just think Whitney second better?

It's okay.

It ain't what Whitney Houston did.

Look.

They not in the same state.

Yeah, I don't agree with that.

Same state.

Same nothing.

Planet.

Universe.

Yeah, you guys.

I'm not trying to convince y'all

that Dolly Parton's version is better.

I'm just saying,

as I said,

it's an unpopular opinion.

It's a quirk of mine. I love Dolly Parton.
I don't think Beyonce did Jolene better than Dolly Parton. No, she didn't.
She didn't. You're not going to tell me.
She bodied though. There's no Dolly Parton song y'all going to probably tell me that she did better.
She did, but I love Dolly's Jolene. Dolly Parton's Jolene, that's a fight.
It's not a fight. No, no, I'm telling you.
Whitney Houston ain't a fight.

It's Mike Tyson fighting.

Come on, man.

Come on.

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 unpopular opinion.

I'm saying we writing you wrong.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I'm with you.

You can compare the two.

It's a complete difference.

Okay.

Yeah.

Another one I ain't really going to have no conversation about. How about I'll a complete difference.
Okay. Yeah, the hook.

Yeah.

Another one I ain't really gonna have no conversation about.

How about Augie one?

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

I wanna tell you, baby.

This is his song.

Hey, dude.

The chair.

The original don't really exist.

Which one you talking about?

Superstar. I didn't know there was more than one.
There's Bette Midler's version. There's a Carpenters version.
I'm never talking about Bette Midler, who's a white, weird Al Yankovic. It's the Carpenters version.
There's four versions of this before. That's all I was asking.
Which one? It wasn't a crazy question. Don't play when it comes to the old blacks.
Carpenters are white. Don't say Bette Midler again.
And B Batman Lur's white. Which is why I was saying it.

Every version was white before.

None of them exist.

Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.

I love, I think this version's the best one.

But I just wasn't which one he was talking about.

The other ones don't suck.

You writing a book on them, right?

As soon as he get this little part out right here.

Hey, at home listening.

40 and up, 40 and up right now.

Put a light in the sky right now.

Rest in peace, Luthor.

Rest in peace, Fat Luthor and Skinny Luthor.

Let's go.

Yo, don't do that.

Let's go. Uh-oh.
Who on the flute? Uh- Rest in peace, Luther. Rest in peace, fat Luther and skinny Luther.
Let's go. Yo, don't do that.
Let's go.

Uh-oh.

Go on the flute.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

Hey, the carpenters

can go lay some carpet.

Go put up some molding.

They can take

their ass to lows

when this come on.

Let me let them

get this bag real quick.

Then I got one more

I want to ask y'all

who has the best version

and then we can move on. Let them cook.
I don't care if you're taking a while. I don't care if you're taking a long time.
I don't give a fuck. Bette Midler.
Yeah, don't ever say Bette Midler again up here.'s like fucking The song's just Ronald Reagan Get out the fuck outta here I leave it alone Yo you got Hold up I just wanna tell you The other day when you said in the 60's 70's The white ladies could've took you out You think Bette Miller had me? Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
For the music lovers out here. Ben Miller who? Don't say that dumb shit again up here.
I'm coming back this way again, baby. All right, who has the best version of this song?

I really... There's only one version?

I love Bonnie Raitt.

Come on, Ma.

Bonnie Raitt's version.

I'm taking Bonnie every time.

Yeah, Bonnie Raitt.

I'm taking Bonnie Raitt every time.

You say Bonnie Raitt's version of I Can't Make You Love Me is the best one?

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes.

And I don't think it's... I mean, let me hear what bag she was in.
Let me see. Turn down the light.
Come on now. Hold up.
Hey! Let's go, Bonnie! Big man! Turn down these voices I can't shit on it. I can't shit on it.
It's the best version. Leave it with a hooker for a phone.
I gotta see. 50 and patronize 50 and up out there! 70 and up out there! Cause I can't make you love me if you don't Nah, her shit is still fire.
Her shit is still fire. I'm biased though.
See the music be sounding crisper. And it's older.
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. None of them did as good as Biden.
I hear you. I ain't gonna press y'all to death right now.
Is Mark here? Did we lose Mark? We lost Mark. It's fine.
Here we go. Mel, I have a question for you.
Did we really lose him? Okay, yeah. A little nasty word.
Do you feel that I have more perks than you up here? Talk to him. Yes.
Do you feel that you get treated unfairly? Not by the... We're just talking about when it comes in comparison to others.
Say answer it right or edit it out. Yeah.
Comparison to me. Do you feel like it's unfair? Are you talking about contractually? We don't want to use that word.
I just gave her that word. Pertaining to anything.
You've called me privately and asked me how I got a couple of things before. I told you.
But now you're complaining about certain things. That's crazy.
nigga. So can you respond to that? Because it hurts when I hear it.
Really? I think it's just them two. I don't think it's me.
They dead ass right now about what they're saying. Like Mel has called.
We've seen it before. Mel, and I'm out of this.
I'm out of this. One more time.
Mel, 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. 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 some of them things that she may have wanted.
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.
Like it's just, that is by all appearances what it looks like up here. Okay.
Yeah. I think that is easier.
I don't want to throw anybody else in the bus. I just think that it's easier to come at the man that can't keep up with you in certain spaces.
I think you keep up just fine. Yeah, but mine's more...
I saw that five minutes ago. Oh, God.
Mine's is more erratic. Now, there's another nigga that come in here late, but if you was to present the same offer to him, the conversation would go different.
You would be more, okay, all right. Who are you talking about? There's only one.
Do you know the Muffet? There's only one nigga in here. You can't tell that nigga about coming in late.
We're going to talk about the Muffet soon, too. I got you.
You're going to tell me. You put me in it.
No, he was talking to Mel, though. You wouldn't have been that in it.
In society, we pick and choose. You ain't going to impress my man by coming in late.
Yo, it should be coming in late. He coming in late, too.
Yeah, no, I have. I have talked about that.
I've also talked about why the fuck am I standing up at the board like this is what... 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 anything to Joe, I literally said it to y'all.
I was like, I'm not standing up here for the good of my motherfucking health. We thought you was having another one of your tissy fits.
We didn't take that serious. Now, you went to tell Joe, niggas walked ahead happy.
I guess that's what happens is like when a woman speaking, just regard her with, you know, dismissal. Not a woman, but you.
Oh, okay. How many times have you gotten up this couch and ran to the back and ran around in circles and stuff? Wait, what? How many times have you came in here in the park and just started yelling off of a topic? Clutching your stomach.
No, I'm not talking about Ozempic. Running home.
No, I want to ask you two questions. Hold on, hold on.
I want to answer. Internal fight.
There's been plenty of times that you came to the podcast and you started yelling. So at that time, you did say that twice.
Yo, I'm up here on the board. Ice got up one time and said, I'll help you, man.
Yes. But the time Joe called us outside, niggas had a great par before.
We thought we was coming in for another one. He called the meeting out there.
You act like he was on our side when you started it. You sat there like...
I was looking for consistency. Ma'am, 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.
Like, yeah, Joe, why you talking to them like that?

But you was the one that brought it to him.

Thank God I got the shit.

Yo, it's ask the question.

Yo, you roll it.

Look.

Oh, they gonna see who go.

I just want to ask two questions.

You know what?

No.

Oh. No.
Oh.

No.

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.

Wait, what?

What?

I ain't gonna lie, you different from Tuesdays, you different from Tuesdays and Friday, you was different.

And I see when a woman feel like she got somebody that got her back, how she act. I'm gonna investigate this.
My wife do the same thing with her mother around. Yo, shut up, nigga.
Like, who you talking to? Now, I have to respect her, because her mother is. But she's so crazy, slamming shit.
She's slamming the brew in front of her moms. So I'm your mother-in-law? No, but I...
Man, I was on my ass the whole first 40 minutes, maybe 30 minutes of this broadcast. Yes.
I had to pull outside like, yo, I'm your friend. And then Friday, 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.
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, it has nothing to do with the day.
I'm just saying that with Mark here, you feel more secure. No, that's not true.
No, it's not true. I love the addition that Mark is, but I don't feel any more safe or unsafe with him being here.
We're not talking about safety. I think your safety around us, and you made that clear.
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.

I went back and I did the research, and you know I got the programs.

So I had to write, oh, she talked it.

Oh, and Friday we get mad crazy shit on.

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. I don't.
That's right. It's true.
I don't. And there's been times where I've said something and he...
And he totally disagrees. But how does he disagree with you, man? Can you be honest with me? He has always agreed with me.
Because I love you as a sister. He doesn't disagree with you like how we do, right? Oh, you mean he's respectful? Yes.
That's what I'm saying. He doesn't make you feel the way.
Imagine how that feels when somebody can disagree with you in a respectful manner. I have no argument to that.
Or 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.
I've seen disagree with you in a respectful way. He has.
He has. I'm not taking that away from him.
And that's why I'm not just putting the fucking cape on Mark's fucking back. She's got a point.
That nigga cape is in the Hudson. I'm not caping.
I think that's your opinion. I just don't pounce on him.
And honestly, I don't think it's fair to him to say that he capes for me. No, I feel like you agree.
And I respect him. And we say it again, and I did my research on him.
I feel like you guys agree. I feel like you guys are one of one on certain topics.
I know he done had a few talks. He's not going to sit here and disagree anything pertaining to women and women's rights.
He's not going to... Mark Brand is polished.
It's not a brand, though. I actually believe it.
But it's polished, though. You understand what I'm saying, Mark? I'm not trying to insult you I'm not saying that I'm not associated with that What I'm saying is I actually believe it I know you do I didn't say a word my brother I don't want no smoke No I do Remember one M is bigger than another MMs? Remember, one whole more weight now.
And you know what I'm saying. You could have just came and saved it.
You be letting me go on the edge. I'm already in hot water over here.
Mel is upholding whatever our time-wasted beef is so I'm just trying to chill okay just trying to chill giving grace is dangerous we just want to be cool I'm chilling I don't want no Mel smoke Okay. 11th floor, please.

Thank you.

Oh, tripping. 11th floor please Thank you It's such a beautiful arrangement man Live band That agreeing shit between Mark and Mel Got until May Wait till the weather get nice He can't never go home Hey Agreeing in the winter is one thing.
Mel could say something crazy. Mark would like, he'll bite his right lip.
It's because you perceive it as being crazy? Well, it's crazy to men. So Mark's not a man? He is.
And Mark's not an intelligent man? Very. What do they have to do anyway? Intellect has nothing to do with this.
So his assessment of me being crazy, but if Mark doesn't have the... I don't think you're crazy at all.
You guys like to throw that word around a lot. This is what I tell you.
This is what I tell you. Hold me down, Mark, right now, please, as your brother.
Black dads. I am one.
You are a black dad. No, I mean, there are times where I don't agree.
And sometimes it melts and I disagree with. I don't feel the need to jump in.
Because three of y'all are already doing that. Or two of y'all are already doing that.
Just like I would do the same thing with y'all. But 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 jokes alone with them. If it's a joke, yes.
Just like when Joe walked out with that TV, we all cracked up. Because it was funny.
It's a joke. And I joked too, right? Not really, Mark.
Oh, I did. You pulled back a little bit because I think that you're a student of the game.
You watch and you don't want to make Mel feel uncomfortable because you guys are colleagues from before. Friends.
That seems not like a reasonable thing to do. Colleagues from the past.
You said what? It seemed like what? I'm sorry? You said I 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.

But you did a couple of times.

I apologize.

Let me know when I do it next time.

We can talk about it in that moment.

I didn't realize that.

I didn't realize I hurt your feelings.

We can hug it out.

I don't want to be a bitch.

I love Corey Wade being a bitch.

Corey, like, fuck your feelings.

Fuck you doing feelings, bitch-ass nigga.

Mel, do you... Probably not the best segue.
Do you want to address the Carlos Miller tweet? Shit. What's Carlos Miller? Carlos Miller is from 85 South.
85 South. A little sub tweet out there that people just attach to our pod.
Yeah. I was doom scrolling on Twitter.
Stupid me. Carlos with DC in him? Yeah.
Well, he said something. He's just a homie.
I'm going to paraphrase, but his tweet was something to the effect of that lady. That old lady.
He didn't, no the fuck, it did not say that. It said that lady.
I read it wrong. All right, send it.
Lady in red. Is dancing with me.

All right, I saw.

That lady up there hates all those niggas up there.

Yeah, that's the word around town.

That is the word around the streets.

I'm going to be honest.

A lot of people feel that way.

I don't give a fuck.

And I tell them that you love me, but they, you know.

I don't give a fuck. And I tell them that you love me, but they, you know.
I don't care. You should kick it because we're your friends.
No, I don't care what people have to say. I don't give a fuck.
I think that it was a stupid observation. Carlos.
And also put the fucking, put a name on the bullet.

Just put a name on the fucking bullet.

Like, why subtweet?

For what?

I don't know you.

Like, that's just, 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, you know,

it could make certain parties feel.

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 like i'm a grown-ass critically thinking woman like critically became actresses stop it and historically what all the men have done to women stop it but we Stop it. But we're backing you up, nigga.
Mark, what do you think? I think that Roberta Flack arrangement. The strings.
The fucking strings, man. ASAP trial.
ASAP trial. What's the newest? Ish, come on, put your little Blackberry away, nigga.
Come on, join us. Stop hitting trippy.
I was trying to find a... Put your ass in here.
I was trying to find a Carlos tweet. Outside, I was telling Isha.
This guy is insane, bro. All right, 30 seconds on this.
Yo, watch. 45.
I'll start this time. It's just 45.
I'm good, bro. All right, you'll have to say that.
I'm cool. All right, I'll talk for 45 seconds.
Outside, I was admiring Isha's hoodie. We don't have to do that, bro.
I won't do it. It is nice.
Rascals! You appropriate whatever. You take the black shit to a whole other level.
That's what I'm doing? I said, hey now. Hey now, say now.
Okay, that's it. 45 seconds to stop.
This weekend, team building. That's it.
That's it. I've seen enough.
What's team building? This weekend, team building is in full effect. But no, hold on.
So we should, but I think we should, I think, I think, no, I think that if it affects us, we should take certain things out. I just want to let them out.
I thought my man was down with it. 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.
True. Can I ask you a question? Because I like to bring stuff from behind the scenes on camera.
Really? Yeah. See? That's two.
You did that. Do that to her with the shit she just said about the tweet.
So after our exchange, you go outside and bother my man. 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 bored or something.
I get that, and I've accepted it. And by some, I mean three of y'all.
And by three of y'all, I just mean flippish and male. I'm kind of fly with everybody else.
Joe. And me, it's just really fly.
It's just like a bizarre thing. It's our thing.
Bromance. Bromance were issues with you.
Not a bromance. So who you not really fly with, though?

Because when you put the word really on something,

me and Isha's really fly.

So who you not really fly with?

Me and Mel?

Like, where are we on your fly right now?

He looks at us as his problem children.

I ain't nobody problem child.

I've been a problem child my whole life.

Where do you look at us on a fly meter?

Like, you and Isha's really fly, so boom.

Where's Mel? Is she really fly or is she just fly? No, me and Mel fly. Oh, so she here.
Where's Mel? Me and Mel fly. Where you and I? We fly.
So me and Mel is in the same? Tier. Okay.
But on different pillars. Same shit, but different pillars.

Got you.

ASAP Rocky, who's caught up?

Who's caught up?

Who's caught up?

Who's caught up?

I saw the... If you're not caught up, let me just catch you up.

This shit is over.

It's a wrap.

It's over.

It's over.

It's over?

It's done.

It's not done.

They don't have a case.

But it's done.

Oh.

This is a wrap.

What happened?

They witnessed.

Reilly took the stand.

For five days.

Oh.

And just crashed out. Oh, really? Yeah's why he didn't take...
He sounds like a complete nutcase up there. They've proven him to be a liar, non-credible, delusional.
They've proven him to be... Remember we kept saying ASAP must know something that we don't know? Yeah.
Like, we were right. ASAP knew the dude was an idiot.
Ah. And if you just give an idiot enough room and rope,

they'll do the work for you.

With a qualified attorney?

Yeah, yeah.

Give me mine and Rihanna's attorneys versus this dummy.

We win.

I'm not taking six months anywhere.

Walk me to my vehicle.

What did he do?

Was it the cross-examination?

They caught him lying on the first day.

They caught him lying on the first day.

The calls that he said were fake calls.

They proved that he actually made the call.

He threatened the nigga.

He called during the trial.

He called the homeboy that he said

the call was fake during the trial and said,

yo, man, why you ain't telling me?

This nigga is a complete nutcase.

And this has 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.

I didn't know that this dude was as stupid as you knew him to be. So did they kick it yet or no? Not yet.
It should happen. The judge just asked the prosecutors if they're able to ethically continue to prosecute the case.
Damn. Alright.
That's just a wrap then. Really That's a wrap, then.
Yeah. Really? Yep.

This is over. I don't trust jurors, but it sounds like this is way past that.

It might not get to jurors.

It might not get to the all-white jurors.

Do you think it's... But he's the only witness, right?

Would he be the only witness for the prosecutors?

He's the main one.

Prosecution has rested their case.

Defense ain't even started.

Uh-oh.

That was just on the cross.

They went in there like, yo, your honor, what we doing?

What we doing?

Basically.

He's so dumb up there, I would shoot at him again after the trial is over.

He ain't chosen.

Ain't nothing he can do.

I'm the courthouse, right?

Hey, grab the non-starter pistol. 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 eyes is like, this is, why are you wasting our taxpayer money? And I'm getting charged.
Oh, I know, they cracking in it. Rihanna bankroll.
Well, ASAP got some bread. Yeah.
Yeah, nigga probably got the $4,000 hour lawyers. How much bread ASAP got? How much do he got? He got some money.
What, though? If I had to guess? Yeah. 30? 30 a.m.? I don't know.
Is that from his sponsorships and fashion deals and all not counting Another man pockets But we can talk About it off camera Oh okay I don't know I wasn't trying To counter it Nigga We always know Some ill shit I ain't gonna lie He's had a successful Rap career He's had people That he put on He's got Yeah, he's doing fine. I would assume him to have some money from all that fashion shit.
Yeah. Whether it's 30, 20 new kids or something.
And when I marry Rihanna, I'm going to book new deals. Yeah, of course.
That part. And I hate to tell you, him saying that I don't want to lose none of my deals and none of my business shit.
Yeah. Like, yo, dog.
I was fired. My wife got Fenty, nigga.
I might be the face of Fenty men's coming. Any of that shit coming.
He was. He was the face.
I'm going to roll off Fenty. Fuck you talking about, nigga? This is my shit.
The Harlem version. Congratulations to ASAP Rocky ahead of time.
Homeboy. Bah humbug.
Bah humbug, bah humbug. What else is there? What else is there important? Well, you talking about charges and trials and shit.
Michael Jordan's son back out there again. What do you do now? He just got locked up in Florida.
Got him in Florida. D-U-I and possession of coke.
That white girl. And resisting.
That white girl, two ways. Double on touch.
Get you every time. Oh, man.
What does everyone think?

Nothing.

I think he sniffed coke.

And he rich.

So ain't nothing going to happen.

Nothing going to happen to him.

You're going to get a slap on the bitch.

I love who y'all choose to pull out y'all free hymns for.

I ain't saying free nobody.

You said free Poush Icy.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Oh, I did.

What's his nickname?

Seven, six, two.

Yeah, he definitely said it. I said it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 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, yeah, I'm not saying Free and Push.
We're not saying Free and Push. By the time he get out, Killer Niggas is going to be out of style.
He can't kill niggas no more. Killer Niggas ain't never going out of style.
No, no, no. No, but it ain't a market for it.
It's a market for that. Yeah.
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? Marcus Joy? Coke.
Coke. He did it.
He was driving high. He got caught with a DUI that had possession of cocaine, allegedly.
And it resists and arrests the other charges. I'm not saying allegedly.
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 with him for the rest of the day. 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. He ain't had that regular shit either.
Yeah, that's a good shit. Nah, his shit is good shit.
I would assume. And it's Florida.
And this is 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 ain't a kid. No, I mean, he's my children.
He's in his fucking thirties. I mean, just children.
Same thing. I'm just saying, like, I wouldn't give.
I worry that he has no end in sight. Because he got all the money in the world, all the lawyers in the world.
Oh, yeah, we literally have no expectation. That's all I'm saying.
It's just dangerous. He seems like he's on a bad course right now.
I hope he can get it right. Where's the intervention? He should probably get more of your vitriol than a Bronny.
I ain't got no vitriol against either of them. It's all right, brother.
I like both of them. It's all right, my brother.
I love Bronny. You've been mighty silent while Bronny been dropping 17, 19, 21, 23.
In the Gatorade League, right? It's all right. In any league.
Nigga, you had zero points in the fucking league in Mawa. Exactly.
That you'd be going to. And if somebody drafted me, you'd be like, why the fuck did they draft Mark? And you was a no-show.
And them niggas that got drafted right after him, cumulatively, are averaging 12 points. Yeah, look.
And he's averaging less than that, right? All three of them together after him are averaging 12 points. In the G League or in the NBA? No, in the NBA.
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. I don't have any interest in talking about Bronny.
What do you have to say to Marcus Jordan who's doing coke with cantaloupe? First of all, if it's your money, let me tell you something. I ain't never sniffed no coke, but I'm a fan of cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe is delicious. First of all, cantaloupe is delicious.
Second, if it's your Coke and it's your money and you ain't hurt nobody, I don't have any judgment against you. I'm not mad at him.
It's not his money. Who money is it? That was a DUI.
What I'm saying is if he didn't steal it. Where does he work? Hold up.
That is a DUI, so you drive it. Does he have a job? Listen to what I'm saying.
He has a trust fund. What's the job? When I say his money, what I mean is he's not stealing it.
He's legal. You know what I'm saying? 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.
I think it's a bad choice, but I'm not judging him for it. I think Bronny's an amazing kid.
I ain't got nothing bad to say about Bronny. 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. Like, just try some different mixes.
Or try the Coke at home. Yeah, don't, like, get behind the wheel.
Yeah, don't drive and do that. That's the shit I don't like.
Don't put other people at risk. On the news every morning, I'm seeing an accident.
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.

But every morning on the news, they show you a drunk driver or someone driving under the influence of something that killed somebody else.

Yeah.

Like, that's not fly.

Especially if you're not ill with a drunk driver.

No such thing.

For the purpose of this audience.

There you go.

No, no, no, no. Yo, this nigga said, you can't.
He's not here with the drunk drive. Stop, bro.
I know what you're talking about. You can't say that.
You just can't. Man, what you think? Hey, yo, and I think that nigga's a lick.
You think who's a lick? Marcus. Oh, duh, we knew that.
No, he was having the monsters with him with him. They just showed him another monster.

Who?

Because when you say monster, I maybe don't always think they're monsters.

Nicole Murphy.

Oh, no, that's a monster.

She's a monster.

That's Godzilla.

She's a monster, but that's...

Who made that noise?

Who made that noise?

The room.

Creaky walls. You better sit there and look cute.
Are you looking at me? I can't see through those fucking eyes. That shit is so good.
That shit is so tricky. It's so tricky.
The blast is tricky. I heard you.
I was hearing your breathing pattern. Your breathing pattern changed like you wanted to get froggy.

You better look cute.

You better look cute.

You was in L.A. too.
You better just sit there and do your part.

And hot and bar.

What?

You got a take?

You got a Nicole Murphy tank?

No.

I bet.

Like you ain't got a drink take.

Sit your ass down and be cute.

I know there's some crush over there too it gotta be give us some tea no I will not give you any motherfucking tea alright for the rest of the room do y'all think it's some tea you know it's some tea then Nicole Murphy taking one of male old fucking works yes and we can move on see Mark I think they I think think they ask Come on sisters Cloud for your man No I'm speaking to rock I have no idea I don't know anything About my own personal life That's right That's right Don't say nothing To where when you walk In the house You gotta avoid The room the room shit. They got to walk through the tent.
Don't you go in that kitchen now. The kitchen is the worst place to find your girl mad.
Scrubbing the shit out of that pot. She getting it in.
All the wrist action. All right, what else is going on? No ASAP.
We done with him. Since we talking about Hoop.
Byron, how's your cork? All come on. What else we got? Since we talking Hoop, the NBA just had maybe the biggest trade in NBA history, maybe? It's the most surprising trade in NBA history.
It's the first time two All-Pros got traded directly for one another? In the regular season. Two All-NBA season.
Mid-season. It was a shocker.
This was the most shocker.

To the point that people thought that Shams was hacked.

Yeah.

Because it didn't.

We all thought it was fake.

Yeah, it didn't seem real.

I thought it was Sentel or some shit.

I'm like, yo, y'all done got cocked. They done duped y'all again.

Right.

I'm like, oh, shit, this is real.

This is real.

And it's.

And whenever that broke, some other shit was heating up online.

I was doing something else.

When they were like, Luca Laker.

I was like, wait, who is a Laker? Right. It was so, because Beyonce had announced her shit.
Kanye was tweeting wild shit. Then they announced, this is all happening.
Yeah, it was a lot. It was a clusterfuck of shit.
I was like, this can't be real. It was trending.
Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks traded for Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers and Max Christie and one draft pick. Yeah.
And we got Luka, Keebler, or Kleber. The white boy that could shoot.
That could shoot the threes. Yeah.
Tall kid. As a Laker fan, how do you feel about that trade?

I'm happy for the long term.

Luka's a top seven player on the face of the planet.

You know what I'm saying?

So you can't turn down that with LeBron being 40, AD being inconsistent,

and AD, they said, was going to want the Supermax.

I just think that you can't turn down Luka at 25, 26 years old. 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, exciting. That shit that we be doing now, that shit will 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. Luka'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.
What are the odds that the Lakers are going to go to the championship with this team is currently constructed? Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't.
So what did you lose? So I agree with the strategy. I'm saying what I'm saying is.
I can't say that. But it means you're punting on LeBron.
I don't think the Lakers. The Lakers for the past few years, it seems casually, because I'm not like a Laker guy.
But it seemed like they've adopted like 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.
Just make a play. 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. That's how they won the last chip they won, in the bubble when nobody had them going in.
Yeah. That was years ago.
And it's been backfiring lately. It wasn't that many.
Three or four. But this is the thing.
All of the teams in the West have gotten better, With Denver still being the pinnacle, the Lakers are not drafting players and or making trades to contend with Denver. If Denver is the top shotters, we not getting no big bodies.
But they're not. I was going to say, OKC is tough.
They're not. Yeah.
Bro, until you dethrone Denver, they him. They've been dethroned already.
Yeah, they weren't the champions. Dallas went to the finals.
Dallas went to the finals last year. That's what I'm saying.
Flukie, but all right, I'm going to give you that. What I'm saying is this.
It'd be the Thunder. Who? Dog.
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, 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 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 playoffs. Like the Pistons did when they got Rasheed Wallace.

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. No.
Right? Like, if this were a basketball move, the thinking is you would, if I'm trading my franchise player, all NBA first team, led the league in scoring, just took us to the finals then i'm opening up the the

negotiations to every team 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 and then to not get any draft picks back you know i'm a nick fan we spent five picks on mikhail Bridges. Rudy

Gobert was, I think, six picks.

So basketball

common sense says if we're trading Luka, we're getting back a haul. That didn't happen.
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.
I went back to the Chris Paul Laker veto trade and was like, shit, if we've been complaining about ratings all season, what better way to spice this up than to put Luka in L.A. with LeBron and get that moving, put him over here in Dallas, another major city, and let's just try to spice this up a little bit.
Also, this trade happened. Me and Corey was at the Knicks game that night.
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. 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? Sure enough. Sure is.
That was Doug Christie's son. And he nice.
Yeah, 17. And he he nice and was playing good defense on Jalen Brunson but anyway I didn't 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 but and Rich Paul was there everybody was there that was like a big.
They say that that was the most expensive regular season ticket all season. I can believe that.
It was prime time. It was ESPN, a lot of cameras.
That was, if the garden was more packed than I've seen in recent years, Spike Lee, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, fucking Steve Stout came in there with that beautiful ass. Louis Cope came over to me at halftime like, yo, you good yo you good man I heard some stories I ain't gonna keep addressing my sleepwalking shit to every new person I see either.
I said yeah man a little bit sleepwalking man he had some real good advice. Real good advice.
What wear clothes? No. He said yo just relax Magnesium.
Just relax Got. Relax.
I got you, dog.

Give me some magnesium.

I got some.

I just ordered it.

You got something in the cabinet?

I look like a magnesium nigga.

You might need it to keep you asleep.

You need magnesium.

I take magnesium.

Oh, okay.

Y'all can...

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.

What's the dust version of that?

Megatron. Don't give me something of that hey give me the marcus jordan version of magnesium um but anyway i'm say that to say i didn't see anything unusual at the game lebron looked like he got a triple double not even trying nothing seemed weird do y'all think it's possible that this trade happened without lebron knowing without jason kidd knowing without any these people knowing the way they report? From what I'm hearing, and I don't have no inside knowledge of this, but what the insiders are saying is that they – like Sham said, he knows – he can guarantee that LeBron did not know.
Other reporters say LeBron was at dinner when he found out and that his head was still spinning. Luka just bought a house last week.
$15 million. $15 million.
In Dallas. In Dallas.
Yeah, in Dallas. So Luka definitely didn 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 LeBron was completely not in the know, which says to me again, they're punting on LeBron.
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.
My tinfoil hat is on, too, but I'm thinking less about, oh, the league is trying to make the Lakers good again.

Although, I ain't mad at that.

Oh, no, the brighter tinfoil hat.

Tinfoil hat wasn't that. No, that was me being stupid.
The brighter tinfoil

hat dudes. They're taking the power back.

Oh, see, I think it's something else.

No, I'm talking about Bron is Drake.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

Because that's what it sounds like from the

analogy.

But Luca being traded, he's no longer eligible for the Supermax. Right, which is fucked up.
AD, no longer eligible. So now...
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. So it's going to cost him like $40, $50 million.
Both of them. Yeah, both of them.
So this is their way of now. This is what the tinfoil had.
This is their way of kind of, they found a loophole in these big-ass collective bargaining. That might be it.
So is that the only reason why? Because they were both eligible? Not the only, but it could drop. This is what I think it is.
I think there's something about Luka 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.
You know, I'm hearing from Dallas beat reporters that he has weight issues, conditioning issues, attitude issues. But then there are people who are saying they don't think he's a winner.
They just don't think he's a winner. And he doesn't play defense.
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.
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 and you get the best offer.
I think they're trying to get somebody 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.
And if you start bringing too many people and they want medical reports or asking questions. That nigga's a top seven player in the world.
So is Joel Embiid, right, when he's healthy. But if you find out that he can't walk anymore.
We'll see. And I'm saying he could be.
I understand what you're saying. Because right now he's having calf issues.
Next thing is your Achilles. I think his fat ass need to get in the gym and get some cardio going.
Let me play this tinfoil hat shit from my man KFC Barstool. I went and read all of this same shit that he's about to refer to.
But it makes some sense. 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.
So the long-term plan has always been for the Mavericks to turn their arena into a casino resort entertainment complex. 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.
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. 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.
However, if they suck, there's a lot more of a realistic chance that the NBA would move cities. 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.
You talk all about his weight and his conditioning and his super max and his defense and all that. It all always comes down to money.
Now that theory, which doesn't even seem like that much of a conspiracy, makes a lot more sense than the alternative. There's a reason why no other NBA executives were contacted about potential trade options.
Because they didn't want a good trade return. There's a reason why Danny Ainge, who was involved in the trade, didn't know that Luka was a part of it.
Because they needed to make sure it went through despite being absolutely ridiculous so that they could intentionally suck.

Because now the Texas government has to decide

whether they want to lose the team to Vegas

or approve this Austin complex.

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 them to another city.

I don't know about you,

but that entire theory seems pretty wild,

but pretty true.

I can't rock with it

because I think Dallas is a better team today than they were pre-trade. I think Dallas fares better in the long term in the Western Conference than with Luka.
In the long term? No, not the long term. Oh, this year.
Oh, you mean like long? In the next three years. They can go further.
They'll go further this year. They should have got 10 draft picks for Luka.
Yeah. So we can't say long.
Not with AD? Yes, with AD. Nah, I disagree.
You can get an elite player and draft picks. 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.
But for this year, yeah, they're a more balanced team. They're a more smarter team.
The Lakers are a worse team right now. And they got a guy who's the most ball-dominant player in the NBA by far.
Two of the most ball-dominant players in the NBA. But Luka is literally the most.
And he doesn't play defense. 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. He weighs 270 pounds, according to some reports right now.
He could have a bad leg. He's an injury reporter.
I'm just saying, you may find out there's a reason why Dallas did this that makes a whole lot of sense. There could be some shit above our pay grade.
Also, the gentleman, and y'all can Google this at home yourself, because I'm lying on you. I'm not doing it.
But the gentleman that they're talking about who has the majority share. It's a lady.
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, and they say that this guy owns, like, a bunch of shit, like, i.e., the Dodgers.
They say he owns some of the Lakers as well. That owned some of Dallas? Is that possible? It's not possible.
It's illegal. I don't think that's illegal.
Let me look it up. You can't own two NBA franchises.
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. I look up his name, but y'all go.
That's a hell of a conspiracy theory. Again, at the end of the day.
Maybe somebody just saw footage from the finals last year. Well, that's what I said.
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 in L.A. 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. How do y'all think the Lakers look with LeBron and Luka? I ain't going to lie, but the Knicks lost that game.
We lost that game without AD. Yeah.
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

Gnett, fucking

Hichumaro Chimichuri, whatever

his name is. They got a bunch of

6'8", 6'9", 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. They needed a big because AD

doesn't want to play the five. They needed't want to play.
You know what I mean? They needed another perimeter shooter, and they needed some bench depth, and they needed another playmaker. But some of those are role players.
If I'm the Lakers, I'm trying to go get Clint Capella. Dudes like that, that Luka could give the alley-oop to, that just want to play defense, get boards, play the...
They need pieces. To make Luka effective, you need pieces.
The same way with LeBron, you need spot up shooters for the penetrating kick, all of that shit. Nobody thinks the Lakers are finished.
I don't think that we finished either. You got two amazing people.
I think that the role players would have to get some bump-ups. You need a hell of a big now.
I'm telling you. AD gave you four balance.
Capella, yes, but they, and I won't get into the weeds of basketball, but LeBron's not a good enough shooter at this point. You need a hell of a big now.
I'm telling you. AD gave you...
Like Capella wanted it. Capella, yes, but they...
And I don't want to 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. And we ain't got Kleber.
Yeah, I mean, he's a great... You know, I like him.
You know what I'm saying? I like him. But the Lakers just aren't as good right now as they were.
Sure. And I don't know if anybody wants to play ball.
Danny Ainge was like, if I had known my trade,

because Utah was the third.

He created the space.

Utah.

And he was like, if I had known this was going to the Lakers,

I wouldn't have done it.

Now that everybody's looking, I don't know what happens.

Another thing real fast, Mark Cuban said,

he doesn't know what the fuck is happening.

He don't.

He wasn't trading Luka.

Right.

He's like, basically, I would have never traded Luka.

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.
Rich Paul represents Braun and AD. 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? Like, you got to contact somebody's agent or their representation. After you make the trade.
I'm assuming. After you make the trade.
Right, too. After you make the trade.
Like, if a person, I'm not familiar. I mean, 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. You find out when it's done.
No, because he had a trade kicker. Right.
But you can approve the kicker after the trade. The trade kicker is just like, I'm penalizing this team for the trade.
And he waived the trade kicker after. He waived it after.
Yeah, but you don't have to tell anybody anything ahead of time. Guys be finding out on watching TV.
Guys be finding out from their friends. Like, yo, I heard you just got traded.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll see.
I mean, I don't know. There's some other big trades happening in San Antonio, other people.
So maybe people are willing to play San Antonio. San Antonio is who I would be afraid of.
They are. They coming.
They are definitely coming. That's who I would be afraid of.
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 in my life. That's my favorite basketball to watch.
Like in my life, the things they were doing with Patty Mills and them niggas. So if they go and if they draft a big, they know how to build around that.
De'Aaron Fox trade. I told you that Castle dude is nice.
They've got De'Aaron Fox without trading none of their pieces. They're one quality player.
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. It's top six protected.
No, it's unprotected. You talking about the Sixers pick? Whatever pick the Spurs have this season from another team...
I thought you were talking about the Sixers. It's unprotected.
Yes, that's true. I think you're talking about the Sixers.
So in the event... Atlanta.
Oh, Atlanta. Because our homeboy got hurt.
No. The defensive dude that they like.
The dude that they got from Murray. Jontae 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, 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 it's going to get scary. If they get Cooper Flagg, it's a wrap.
And Cooper Flagg look like a Spur. Nigga, Ace Bailey just had 49 the other night off three dribbles.
I wouldn't give a fuck about Cooper Flagg. Give me the first or second.
That's true. It's a good draft this year.
Yo, the Spurs got a lot. The Spurs have the unprotected 2025 pick from the Hawks, 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.
And they got their own picks that they get from themselves. And then they got a protected pick from somebody else.
They can't take one through 14. But you can get a 16, 17 player in the draft if you Popovich and make that shit work.
He's just an amazing dude at developing talent. And drafting talent.
RC drafts talent. You look at Manu Ginobili.
You look at Kawhi. Kawhi.
Tony Parker. Tony Parker was 29th pick or something like that.
They draft low and do well. And they get the right pick.
They get the boards, D.I.L.s and the guys that play positional basketball. Pass the fucking ball! Pass the ball! Pass the fucking ball! That's what they do.
That's what they do. That's what they do.
Nobody bigger than the system. Yo, on some other stuff, I was watching, I didn't see the fight.
I only saw... Papoos come out.
I only saw the clip. I only saw the knockout punch.
Oh, the clip. Oh, the slip with the hook? Yeah.
I mean, slip with the cross. She threw that lazy ass left and then boop.
Tell the people what you're talking about. She hit it with the dew drop.
It wasn't even that lazy. Tell the people what fight you're talking about.
Clarissa Shields. Clarissa Shields.
I'm sorry. Clarissa Shields had a big fight.
What was the sister's name she fought? Exactly. Clarissa Shields had a fight.
Yeah, right. I guess that's all that matters.
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. And my man Pap came out, alphabetical slaughter, nigga.
Hey, big Pap. Stupid ass niggas on the internet gonna call Pap the best support boyfriend.
Danielle Perkins was her name. Yes.
A support boyfriend is crazy. Like a support dog.
Pap be listening sometimes, too, so let me shout him out. Pap, yeah! Big Pap, yeah! A support boyfriend.
That's crazy. That is crazy.
Is he the best? 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.
Mm. Who? Jay.
The greatest rapper of all time. Oh, I didn't see that.
Yeah. When she was about to go up on the stage.
He reached in for the hug and was like, she went up there. Wire.
But he shows up. No ego.
Oh, that's just niggas being niggas. Hey, you're nipping with that, girl.
You're a fast-ass fixer. That's what he said.
That's probably what he was for. What the fuck are you going like that? What the fuck is wrong with you? I still think Hov might be the biggest support boyfriend because he got the most to come down from.
I think that is disrespectful to call Hov a support boyfriend. I ain't doing it.
And since your first day here, you be disrespectful. I never disrespect Hov.
I love Hov. Just know that Hov be listening sometimes.
Y'all think anything that ain't praised is disrespect. No, we think you be disrespectful.
I said Hov is a top five MC. Oh, you disrespected Hov.
What? No, he's top five, but Beans be watching him a lot. I ain't going to rehash it.
No, no, no, but I'm just saying, in general, I love Hov. You know, Hov 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 when you're the greatest thing in your field, and you just gotta sit there and applaud.
That shit is hard. Did you listen to the joint I sent you? I sent you the album that was put together of all records that Hov and Beans are on? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You walking back at all? We can't rehash things. Alright, we don't have to.
Smart man. Can't even rehash things right now.
Want to talk about these Beyonce tour dates since we on Hov? Yeah. Sure.
And what those tickets might be like? Oh, they're going to be stupid. And price? She coming to New York? Four dates.
For sure? She's coming to New York. Are you going? You said to Mama Love% I'm going this time I'm going I'm going I'm going going without my mama I'm going without my mama then my mama went to the last joint I'm going to get that shit with some tassels on it my girl my girl just said she wanted to go I said fam fam what no she said she wanted to go to another state I said I'm with it wait you going too yeah that's what I like.
Why you ain't want to go to New York? You play ball, nigga. Because it's a different experience when you go do that shit in other spots.
Yeah. Especially if you go to, like, Houston.
Houston is the spot. If you go to Sweden, they go to Switzerland, or, like, that shit be there.
You can turn it into a whole trip. You got it, big guy.
Forgot who we were talking to. I wasn't even saying it like that.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. You going, Mel? You going to the Beyonce show? This nigga said he going to the Switzerland show.
Yeah, yeah. Y'all can have the States.
Yeah, I'd like to go this time. Nice.
I'm sitting on my wife. Are you going to buy a ticket? Cowboy boots and hat? Abso-fucking-lutely.
Maybe some chaps. That would be the appropriate place to wear them.
Corey, Nicole Murphy going. She got DC on the 4th of July.
Nicole Murphy wearing chaps that night. Yeah.
Yeah. You heard me.
Oh, I heard you. Okay.
Nigga. Fireworks.

Is it going to be in MetLife? I could be right there at DC. Them tickets about to be money, though.
Oh, yeah, a lot of money. Too great.
They're going to be stupid. I ain't going to town to see this 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? No, no, no, I didn't.
You got the silver on? I didn't want to go, but I'm going to send my lady to this show with her girlfriend. I feel like that's a – let her go with her girlfriend.
This nigga don't miss a chance to send his lady somewhere.

That was the one. Sent my mom, sent my girl.
They can sit this one out, though. You heard? Yeah.
They can sit this one out. It's for the dogs.
You really looking forward to this show? Yes. Is it because you like this album more than Renaissance? No.
That's why I'm surprised. I wasn't the biggest fan of either of those albums.
I just think the Beyonce Live is an experience. But you know, when you go to this one, you're going to get a majority of this album.
I absolutely love her Netflix performance. Okay.
Then you're going to be good at this. I absolutely love her Netflix performance.
I don't care about the album. I like the album, so I'm going to.

Anybody that has something to say about the Beyonce album we gotta shut the fuck up now I think do it yes album of the year this was her Scent of a Woman though and country album yeah you know what I'm saying because she was robbed like the Beyonce album the self titled one Lemonade those are the ones that should have won As I say, this is a set of women album. A majority of people are in agreeance that this was like a we owe you award.
Yes, very much. 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. So we're just going to look the other way and not really speak what we really think.
I think that the impact. No, we got to shut the fuck up about that album.
I like that. Y'all gotta shut the fuck up if it went album of the year,

even if it's I.O.U.

No, you don't.

Shit.

I disagree.

I disagree.

That ain't gonna change nothing.

The only people that should have something to say about that Beyonce album is Maze.

Not Frankie Beverly.

Oh, that's what I was thinking.

Maze, though.

Frankie Beverly's happy. Shaq's coming in.

It's a couple movies that

if they do them right, they could bring them back. They had Galactus

in here. I'm like, okay.

That's different.

That's it. That's different.

That's different. Let's get this right.

I'm in there like swimwear. That's different.

And I am going to see that

When I went to go see this

Blu-G When I went to go see this corny flight risk movie the other night, they did show the trailer for, they showed the coming attraction for whatever, the black Captain America.

Anthony Mackie.

He's Captain America.

Brave in the world.

I like my Captain America white boy.

Eben Moss, back rack is playing Thing.

Excuse me?

Give me your phone. Give me your phone.
And the phone. July 25th is the date.
My bad. Give me your phone.
Give me your fucking phone. I'm with that though.
You know they said Marvel was back in negotiation with your man. John DeMages.
Slow down because I do want to talk about that. a second.
Told you. Ain't Captain America one of those things where we not wrong to prefer it white? You right.
I don't know why they did that. I said the same shit about 007 and niggas got mad.
Yeah, some shit we just used to be in white. That's a little bit different.
007 could use a little black. Well, not Captain America.
They made Captain America black and the Hulk red in the common attraction.

And it looked good.

It looked good.

It 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're just spoiled.

That's all it is.

He did a good job.

He did great.

Nobody want to see another Iron Man, nigga?

Every Captain America movie is about terrorists.

You want to see another person?

Oh. No, no, no, no.

Nobody want to see another person play Iron Man, nigga.

We need Robert Downey Jr., nigga.

For sure.

For a second, we'll be right back. movie is about terrorists.
You want to see another person play Iron Man?

We need Robert Downey Jr., nigga.

For sure.

Same thing with Wolverine.

On to your Jonathan Majors point about him being back in talks with Marvel.

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 the bodybuilding shit. The bodybuilding shit.
The bodybuilding shit. Now, I've had a lot of jokes about Jonathan Majors and Megan Good and a relationship and all types of shit just because it's been fun for the last few years.
Watching that trailer, though, it's easy that that talent talent like that that he showcased in that trailer jumps off the screen it's real easy to see that even if you don't have no uh 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 why she did she standing by dog she probably seen the trailer knew you can't keep that type of acting down, and held him down. Did y'all see that trailer? I did not.
He's a good actor. We said that.
I think that's an understatement. He's amazing.
I ain't need to see the trailer for me to know that. I watch Lovecraft Country.
I've him act was like okay I think it's ill Michael B Jordan go make it right yo Make it right Some niggas use that boy Use that boy and got out of Dodge on him go ahead make that right Michael B. Jordan.
He got another movie coming out Who Michael B. Jordan? Yeah.
Yeah. Well his movie career was never in Okay.
Is that one of Homeboy's movies? Ryan Coogler? I think so. Yes.
Who plays the thing? Jeffrey Oswald, Copper Pot. So, I mean, what is the update on the conversation between John the 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.

Marvel's seen that.

Marvel's seen that bodybuilding trailer.

And that's the trailer.

That movie is from 2021 or whatever.

Then it got canceled, so they pulled the movie.

And that movie is making its way to movie theaters in a couple months.

Watch.

Talking about some Marvel call.

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.

Did you, I think somebody up here said that he has a chance,

he's going to come back.

I don't know which one.

Probably Mel Dick Rod.

Somebody said up here like, it was me. Now I'm Dick Riding.
No, you wasn't Dick Riding. Somebody said he's going to come back.
Fam,'t know which one. Probably Mel Dick riding.
Somebody said up here like, it was Mel. Now I'm Dick riding.
No, you wasn't Dick riding. Somebody said he's gonna 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. He was laughing.
Nigga was running down the block. Joe said they had to.
No, when he was doing the slave dance. Joe said I never.
Joe said I never. Slave 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. He said, the camera watched 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 bodybuilder movie, my guy, I think, yeah. Shout out to him, man.
I'm happy to hear that they back in negotiation, because he started tap dancing and shit. He looked crazy, Mark.
Nigga was... Yeah, I thought he was done.
Megan ain't leaving that nigga aside. That trail was too good.
You charge him extra now, right? Yeah. You charge him who extra? The studio.
The studio. What studio? Corey thinks they're going to get him on the cheap because he's desperate.
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 Kangol and then he crack their head on the next one. But Marvel fuck around and get that nigga in a three movie deal.
Oh yeah. You're going to have five options on this contract.
Jonathan Majors, congratulations. We will be watching.
I'll definitely be watching that bodybuilding movie. 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 this

lady that met a dude over

the internet? Oh, the Pakistan lady.

Yes, yo. She went to Pakistan.
She won't leave.

They have no press conference.

That's not that lady, yo. Wait, please

say the story. Alright, so look.
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 marrying. She gets over there, and the family and all of that is like, nah.
Hell no. Fuck out of here.
This ain't going to happen. But she wouldn't leave.
They held a press conference. So she done did a sit-in outside the door.
She done held a press conference. Now she over there saying, I want to clean up Pakistan.
She ghetto, Joe. I want to clean the streets.
I didn't know that was the back story. She's wild.
That lady from New York. They say she from Brooklyn.
Yeah, from Brooklyn. She's definitely from Brooklyn.
She went up there. They had a press conference with them.
I saw the mics. I didn't even see the story.
They had the mics on the table. I was like, what is going on here? She's like, yo, I'm telling y'all, like.
She said, where my man at? She's looking around. Where my man at? Yo, she's telling him she's the wife of Duel.
Like, that's how she's introducing herself. What's her gripe? She's saying, like, you owe me a marriage now?

She met him online

and she went to Pakistan

and looked for him.

But why she won't leave?

That's my man.

I mean,

so say you.

Come on, Joe.

That probably was some bullshit.

I feel like two people

got to be in on that.

Yeah, that's my man.

He might have been here

on it too.

She might have got over there

on some bullshit

and his family was like,

yo, I don't know

what you talking about.

And you're too old.

Fuck out of here. My son's 19.
No, he's not married. 30, 19 is crazy.
Oh, wait, his family was like, yo, I don't know what you talking about. And you're too old.
Fuck out of here.

My son 19.

No, he not married.

19 is crazy anyway.

Oh, wait, he's 19?

He's 19.

She's like 33 or something.

That's crazy anyway.

See, y'all can't do that.

Oh, my fucking son.

My son.

My daughter got married

like three days ago, right?

I just went over to the crib.

Wait, what?

Hold on.

He just reminded me of this shit. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's an ish story right there. Yeah, it really was.
That's some ish shit. What? Congratulations.
Congratulations. No.
Oh. I mean, sure, fine.
It's my oldest daughter. I mean, she already lived with the dude, whatever.
But I went over there just to pick up some chicken. Wait, you didn't go to the wedding? There was no wedding.
Oh. That's my point.
They went to the people? I guess. I went to the crib.
She's wearing a ring. I said, oh, you know, because, you know, niggas have back and forth with engagements and they didn't work in years.
They've been together for a while. I said, oh, you wearing a ring.
She said, oh, yeah, I got married two days ago. And he's like, hey, dad.
Oh. Oh.
Rakim 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.
I asked you first. I don't know how I'm supposed to.
I feel a way, but I don't feel a way. You don't feel a way because you want to, that's how I know that all of your I support women fucking thoughts be a sham.
Because whenever it gets to your daughter, your views get back to nigga. You got him.
Just so you know. Yes, it is a nigga position.
Because it's her choice. She can do what she wants.
She can. I just want her to tell me.
She don't got to tell you. The father of the bride, it's crazy that he would want to be invited to his daughter's wedding.
There was no wedding. Tell me.
what we're saying. They probably talked about Mark was too broke to pay for the wedding.
So? Tell me. Not while being up here.
We're going to justice or the peace. Tell me.
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, pop the question. Theoretically, yes.
I just don't feel like you have to. And maybe she feel like, Mark, are you judgmental a lot? Yo, dog, you never...
You fuck with dude? Have you met him? You fuck with him? Yeah, I know. They got two kids.
They called me dad. I'm saying, so...
How long have they been together? They called me dad, too. Yes, sir.
How long have they been together? Seven years. And they've been engaged.
Come on. Mark, stop.
It's over. Yeah, that's the...
It's over, big dog. And they've been engaged.
That's the part why I don't care. They got engaged early, then they broke up, and they got back together.
A whole bunch of stuff, right? Very judgmental. Go ahead, Dad.

I'm just saying.

She told me, because I saw her.

I don't even know if I...

They had been married 10 days.

It had been 10 days.

10 days is a lot of days.

I got you.

10 days.

And I like him.

Got you.

You know what I mean?

I just...

I don't know.

I'm feeling a little bit of a way.

You could like somebody, but not like them for your daughter.

How often do you speak to your daughter?

Every day. He's supposed to be informed.
He's definitely supposed to have been informed. If he speaks to his daughter on a daily basis...
How old is your daughter? 24. Not if you're a judgmental person.
I disagree with that. You putting that on him.
I'm not putting it on him. I'm just saying it has to be a reason your daughter didn't tell you.
Love? Yeah, I'm with him. And he can feel away.
I think I know the reason. He can feel however the fuck he want to feel.
He can't feel away. Mark's right to feel away, but you also have to look at it from her perspective.
A lot of times, 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. Yeah, I don't want to hear it.
The thing I don't want to hear. And love is spontaneous sometimes.
Seven years. Seven years.
For filling out that justice. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Two kids, seven years. That's your partner.
And they got kids, you said? Two. Great.
So our life is what it is. But while she cooking one day, eh.
Let's just go get married. Right now.
Let's go. That, I think, is mad common in relationships.
Because you can imagine what he told her when she was 17, 18, when Mark told her. You gotta focus on school.
You got your life ahead of you. You gotta make an appointment.
That's what I You got to make an appointment. You got to make an appointment.
It's spontaneous. And this guy going down to the justice of the peace, I don't think, because I know somebody that did it, you can't just do that.
You got to make an appointment. 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 to. Wait, slow down.
And what I'm saying, it didn't slip through the cracks. It was a plan.
So to his original question, could he feel some type of way? You fucking ain't right. Of course you can.
But you shouldn't. But you shouldn't.
Of course you can, but you should. Absolutely.
I think you should. Would you feel some type of way? Yes.
Okay. I would absolutely feel some type of way.
You just going to ask them? I just ask people with daughters. Yeah, because I don't make girls.
I was waiting for that. Don't even bring it this way.
I would feel some type of way, but I also would you? Yeah, sorry. Dr.
King, what would you say? He'd do like that nigga. Colorado? But I would also understand my daughter's reasoning.
Not say you don't understand, but I will also understand. 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 mom, but she knew that I would judge her on it. Your daughter's 24.
You said seven years. That means she was together within, what, 17? Yeah.
So I'm pretty sure that you talked about... I'm pretty sure that you talked to her, discussed with her about college, having more time.

You gave her those talks that you...

And niggas don't want to hear that shit more.

How old is the dude?

28?

Yo, y'all niggas sound crazy to me.

Yo, dawg.

He's already accepted the man.

They've been together seven years. They got two kids.
They live together together I don't give a fuck What my father thinks at this point I speak to my father everyday That don't mean that You accepted the man What are you talking about I have I have I was going over to pick up the chicken He barbecued He called him dad My nigga For the first time After marriage He just got to be pappy that don't mean before we

have a decent relationship you got to have a good enough relationship you ain't calling something no strange nigga dad I don't give a fuck what happens but I married your daughter so I will call you dad to be not a queen cool let one of niggas come home and marry princess and you ain't cool with him and he be like hey dad No, no, no, no.

You're going to Merry Fistmas that nigga right on up.

That's wrong.

You might get him Grace.

You're about to say they all say Grace first.

You might get him Grace.

Here's the thing that You're going to marry Fistmas that nigga right on up. No, that's wrong.
You might get him, Grace. You're about to say they all say Grace first.
Here's the thing that you're missing. You're thinking, and I agree with you.
He has a right to feel the way, but you're not also thinking, you're not widening your mind to think from her perspective, from her point of view. You think from a dad perspective.
From her point of view is that my dad is very critical on how I moved in life. I can just tell.
You can just tell the type of guy Mark is. I'm not like that.
You are putting that on there. I think it's not.
Mark, come on, stop. Wait a minute.
One minute I coddle and I cape and now I'm Joe Jackson. No, I don't think you're Joe Jackson.
Which one is? And that's what happens. 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.
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 do know that you're a guy that puts education first. Like, look where you come from.
Why would you try to pass that down to your children? I watch you with your youngest child. I watch how you are teaching them Spanish and stuff.
I can 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 comes to your daughters, you tell them about education is important. You don't have to go out there and get pregnant early.
You gave them those talks, Mark. And be clear, you're speaking from a position of privilege.
Because even in your complaint, your complaint is, damn, I wish you 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? 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 a way and I wouldn't be confused about it.
So then you could tell yourself that there's really nothing to worry about. Probably.
That's what I'm saying, but you know, it's that thing. Yeah, but you still want to know.
And that's what I'm saying, I feel like I should still have one. And y'all talking to each other.
Hold up, mute up. I'll let y'all talk about those bullshit for a minute.
Damn, I forgot my point. This is what I'm saying.
Y'all girl dads. And you too, nigga.
I know you a girl dad oh you a girl dad too oh yeah he was skipping through the mall when I seen him with his daughter yo bitch girl dads I know that this is disturbing for y'all there will come a day where another nigga's daddy you don't have to say daddy. What an asshole.
There's going to 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, it's the same thing. I agree.
The moms be holding on to the sons and then the wife come and say, hey, no, it's my gig now. I agree.
So if another nigga is dead or holding down or taking care of or being all of those things, why you can't be just good with your place in the escalator? What's that? You're not good with your place in the escalator for being in a communicational chain. And not only that.
He ain't saying he disapproved. She didn't keep it a secret.
Well, she kept it. She did.
Well, she did. Kind of, sort of.
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 it a secret with my parents coming to my house. And also, as a man that popped up for chicken, saw the ring, and she told him.
She didn't happen to be talking to him on the phone. He said, that's why I asked, how often do y'all speak? Right? He said they speak daily.
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, you are keeping it a secret. Then there's a reason.
Then 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. Because if I have no problem telling you, and I just haven't told you yet, that's you calling it a secret.
We talk every day. He didn't see the ring, she don't tell him.
I talk to my parents every day. My dad was real mad over the weekend when he found out I had high blood pressure.
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. I'm saying you can speak to somebody every day

and them not tell you something.

Great. That is true.

There are things that they may not tell.

It's a new daddy in town.

I'm done.

It's a new daddy in town.

All y'all daughters, hopefully one day

if the cycle of love goes right

there will be a new daddy

in town. 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? Yeah.
Text away, nigga. Girl dads.
I'm going to give you some old bae. 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 married.
I mean, his daughter getting married. If you got married and kids got 10 days later, he'd be hot.

I want to fight with him.

How should he feel and what you going to do about it?

Nothing.

You can feel the way, though. You ain't got to do nothing.

We let a lot of shit go.

And you can tell your daughter

that you felt the way about that.

Or you can ask the question

as to why you didn't tell me.

And then maybe you discover what the issue is.

If there is one.

Thank you. And then maybe you discover what the issue is.
Did you ask that? If there is one. Not yet.
No, he bitched up. He bitched up.
Fuck out of here. He brought the guys first to get the men.
Part of me was like, maybe I shouldn't feel, I started with, maybe I shouldn't feel it. Maybe I'm just feeling this way out of some principle and I'm actually wrong.
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. I was about to say, don't act like you ain't going to feel no type of way.
I am, and his chest going to feel type of way. Why? You just said he ain't going to tell you shit.
He don't. And I don't have to tell him this punch is coming at the full speed of head to that chest.
What you did? What over the weekend? Before you even get out. Yeah, with the back.
Yeah, so that's my... I'm talking shit.
I'm joking. I'm joking.
You'll feel it 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. Ish, I said he should feel some type of way.
I just also feel that her body, her boyfriend, her relationship, her choice. Or his choice.
I feel like all that fly shit he talk up here with every other girl that don't matter at all should apply to his daughter.

It does.

It's her choice.

I'm not saying she was wrong for doing it.

Tuck your feelings in your waistline.

Tuck them feelings in the boxer brief fucking dress strap.

You know the deal.

Tuck them away.

Fair enough.

Niggas wearing hains.

It's like hour three, y'all get to the gay partner to say it. Y'all.
This nigga said, what kind of drawers you got on under them sweats? I didn't say nothing. But you didn't have to show him.
No, he tried to play me like I got on some Fruit of Balloons or something. He did have to show me.
Because if I had on drawers that was way iller than his, he wouldn't be my friend of mine. So he did have to show me.

Because he got to let me know, nigga, watch who you talking to.

So that's the thing that y'all call me, bro, man.

You got Speed in the Rumble.

And people keep tagging me about Speed and Kai.

I saw them.

You wasn't there?

No, I was at my own Rumble.

You was Rumble?

No. The Royal Rumble? No.

The Royal Rumble was good, man.

I thought they was going to give it to John Cena.

I was kind of surprised that Jey Uso won.

Congratulations to him.

They were stumping him for years and stuff.

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.

But, yeah.

Gotcha.

How was your stream? Yeah, I think again. Yo, what's your event? Overall success? Yes.
Outside of the drama? It was a smash. It was a success.
Yeah. It hit hard.
No, it was successful. I mean, you know, we have some tweaking to do.
But I'm just happy that with the support of everyone. How many people tuned in? Like before the nonsense, y'all numbers was looking good.
After the nonsense, did they get better? Yo. You doing the balloon pop? I'll keep it real.
You doing the balloon pop? Why you do that, man? You know I'm not afraid to have any conversation. Don't do that, Joe.
Why do you do that? I'm down with you. If you're ready to have a decent conversation and not be insulting, yeah, I'm down.
He said that way. I'm not willing to do that.
I'm not mature enough. Now tell me.
But now I'm asking you. I have nothing to say on this topic.
Congratulations on a very successful event. I've spoken to Imani 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. And congratulations.
Don't do that. No, don't do that.
I appreciate that, but don't do that. Because that's not how you feel.
Don't fucking do that. He's being diplomatic.
No, I'm fucking diplomatic. He's giving you grace.
He's giving you grace. I'm fucking diplomatic giving you grace.
Don't give me grace. I don't want grace.
See, and that shit feel away. Grace definitely feel away.
I saw grace. Here's the thing.
So, shout out to Imani. Shout out to everybody that participated in the room, 24 hours.
I watched, by the way. Thank you.
I appreciate it. I watched a little bit, too.
Thank you very much. We and Joe were watching you set up when we were doing some studio shit.
Yeah, the support was there. Yeah, 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.
When you share the screen with your girl and check it out. On the phone? Yes.
Do you turn sideways at least? So are you... You know they're going to help you out.
Let's finish. Go ahead.
I'm not finished. No, I'm not.
I'll be on the side. I think that, you know, being diplomatic is great.
And I, you know, I just want to share, because I do believe in this. If I could do it to you, I could do it to myself.
Caught a temper tantrum over there, you know, and I had to go in the bathroom in Corey's bathroom and just compose myself and think. And I kind of agree with what you're saying.
Just feel like the timing of it sometimes be all. What was said? I don't know.
I didn't say anything. And I wasn't in here.
They don't know. I'm not saying anything.

Do you not want me to talk about it?

Because you can just tell me, Flip, I don't want you to talk about it.

I don't want to talk about that part of it.

If you want to talk about how much of a success your event was,

I'm totally fine with it.

Y'all, all right. Don't do that.

Seriously.

Okay, all right.

So were the views as good as you wanted them to be?

Yeah, it could be better

It was good, it was great

Solid

It was a great event, man

I did charge for that

I tried to upgrade to get it, but the app

It wasn't letting me do it through the Patreon app

And I tried to log on through the browser

I charged twice?

Yeah

What do you mean?

I mean, it was a fee to become a Flip Patreon member

And then it seemed like a pay-per-view fee

I'm going. Yeah.
What do you mean? I mean, it was a fee to become a Flip Patreon member. And then it seemed like a pay-per-view fee that I paid.
No, that's not true. Stop.
It's one fee. Stop.
Joe, stop. That's not true.
Joe, stop. You did it.
No, I didn't do that. You did it.
It was worth it. Thank you.
I think so, too. Let me get a round of applause again.
Yeah. Good job, Flip.
I'll talk about this later, y'all, because he ain't going to do it. And I want to talk about it on Patreon when my man come.
He ain't going to do it. You know what I mean? Your man is not coming.
Okay. As an older man.
Your man might not see this building. Pardon me.
Watch yourself. Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano.
As my man, you know, he pulled me to the side and told me how he felt about the event. And I acted a little, you know, we had a little back and forth about it.
But 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.
So now his angle is to just highlight how great it was and shit like that. And that's what he's going to do.
Because I would love to get in a conversation. I mean, there's another way to think about that, right, which is you getting criticized off air, but in public there's a united front of respect and love so you get supported.
Exactly. True.
I got it. It's another way to think about it.
I appreciate it. And 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.
Like, it's not an on air. I know you do.
It's not like an on air thing for me. I love him, too.
So. Why you looking at me like that, nigga? Bro, I didn't say a thing.
Would you be looking at me? Oh, God. You were speaking.
I'm uncomfortable. Shout out to Ish, too.
Just shout out to y'all, man. It's each one to each one.
One for all for one, man. We all learn.
We learn in real time. In this content space, we learn how to navigate, and especially in business.
And I give credit all the time. I learn how to do better business while being up here.
I learn from y'all niggas. And sometimes, here's the truth.
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. It's not like a parent, but that's just, you're going to react if you don't know how to take your emotions and take constructive criticism.
And if you've been reacting this way your whole life, you're just doing the same thing. And that's why sometimes I'm thankful to be around my niggas so you can go, you know, just take some time to think and then realize, okay, I get what I'm saying.
You ever do therapy? 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 like adults. Yes, I do.
I feel like it's... Not that shit we did over there.
No, you have my word. No.
And she exposed it, by the way. Special treatment.
My sister exposed it. Special treatment.
No, she exposed it. She said, that shit you did over there, like, she'd just be throwing me under the...
What's up, man? I'm going to get fired soon. Mel wants you to get fired.
She do. Mel do want you to get fired.
And he don't need your help. If I get fired, I told you that no, no.

Can I ask a question about firing?

Sure. And then I'm moving on.
Then I'm moving

on.

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?

What do you

mean?

Ian is doing the firing.

Letting us go.

You're like an email or fax or something.

Would y'all want to talk to me?

Oh, is this like a trade conversation?

Ian won't do that.

Meaning like apparently these players had no idea that they were being traded.

Their agents didn't know, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'd be mad as shit if I got just a note from Ian like hey we're going our separate ways we're moving in different directions but what is there that I would be saying same shit we want to know why I didn't come here for Ian and I didn't come here through Ian so if you're the guy that brings me in and you're the guy I talk to about this and you're the reason I'm here then yeah I would expect you to, this ain't working out.
Me too. Otherwise, I would feel like you were avoiding confrontation and you were hiding behind him.
Same. But what if he was? That's why.
Then that would be the reality. That's why I would feel the way.
And I would think that would be dead wrong. I agree with you.
I agree with that. Yo, listen.
He's like, prepare to be bad. All right.
Hey right, just a second. This is awkward.
Wait, did you answer? No, I agreed with him. Of course you did.
That was what I was saying. Because listen.
I think that's a crock of shit, but we're talking Patreon. When he's suspending me, nobody knew who they said.
Like, they don't share. They don't share anything.
But why should we have known that?

I told you I said.

It's giving me a look.

How do I even get in this conversation?

I just looked at my man face.

I should call first if that ever happens.

Not text.

A call, you're saying.

Not a text.

Yeah.

A call.

Yo, dog, how you doing with you?

Anything good?

All right, check this out.

No, I don't want that.

I want straight to the point.

Yo.

I thought of a fly way to do it, too.

I'm listening?

I would still pay for the next month.

Oh, man, that's normal.

Oh.

It's actually low.

It is.

One month, right?

I'm going to pay for the next month. Listen, this song I'm about to play for you guys, you've been sleeping on this one, buddy.
All right, no good sense. It was a hypothetical, but I thought about it with all the Luca shit and some other events.

Jeez, man.

Me and Imani are probably going to be out in the streets.

We're probably going to go out.

You can't do that.

Hit girls love karaoke.

All right, I'll find a song.

I'll find a song.

Thank you.

What if you know you did something fireable? My final question. Especially i would be like you still owe me a call because a lot of fire stuff happens fire shit happens every 10 minutes oh man all right uh let me hit final roberta flack everybody talking about this pakta Flack.
Slap. Everybody talking about this Pakistan lady, yo.
She won't leave. Everybody talking about this.
She's the best story on the internet. That shit is hilarious.
Her name is Onesia Robinson, the queen of Pakistan. She refused to leave until the government paid her to leave.
Is she even Pakistani? No. She's from Brooklyn.
Okay. She could have been Pakistani in Brooklyn.
I mean, you know. She really just, like...
A lot of... She's a black girl? Yes.
Go watch. Go quote.
I gotta look this shit up. Put Pakistan in the search on Twitter.
That's it. Damn, I wanted to talk to y'all about China's response to our tariffs.
Everybody's response. Yeah, everybody.
I'm not so familiar with everybody else's response. Everybody talking crazy.
I just heard what China had to say on the news this morning. It did sound a little spooky.
What did they say? You don't want to do this. They said we're putting 10% on plastic, 15% on oil, electronics, cars, sneakers.
It's not going to work. Yeah.
All types of shit. What your man did is...
Jumped out the window. He promised the American people that on day one, their prices would drop and they would get more bang for their buck.
The shit that he is doing is totally to the contrary for most American people that are broke and that are struggling out here. I you some disrespect nobody and say broke.
That are struggling out here and a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck. 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.
You feel what I'm saying? So the rich billionaire motherfuckers that he chilling with, they not gonna feel it. 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. 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? I keep an eye on that shit too, yeah. I don't know.
I'm a lot of people around looking for the gas station that is under three. My nigga, I need gas.
My car, I'm going to stop it. I'm going to go.
I'm buying gas. But you get what I'm saying? So the shit that he's doing is going to increase, especially temporarily.
The price of damn near everything we consume. You don't have American 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.

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.

You can't just stop that shit right now and say, yo, get down or lay down.

I just think it's bad for the American people.

Agreed.

And also basically picking a fight with allies.

With everybody.

I know not with everybody, but why are you picking a fight with your friends? You know, quote-unquote friends. Canada and Mexico.
He look at them like users. He don't look at them like friends.
Yeah, he say America been too friendly, and we need to change it. That's what he said.
And, I mean, my thinking is either which way the tariffs go, it'll be the American people that have to pay for it. I'm telling y'all, we had this

on the 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.

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,

a bunch of construction people

that work in construction fields

All right. electrical wire, right? Now, couple this with the construction industry, no disrespect, 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. Nine motherfuckers showed up.
Nine out of 43, my nigga, that's less than 25% of your workforce. That's true.
So now that job stops, right? And we're going to 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.
All of that shit now ceases. You fuck the country up doing some stupid shit.
I'm about to say, even if you, I know last part we called Americans lazy. I don't know if I'm rolling with that, but 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.
Or the efficiency, bro. Some of these niggas have been working in construction since they came from over there.
So now we come over here, 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. 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 that's the way that we implement AI in the future.
It still results in job loss. 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 fucked for a while.
And the fact of the matter is it's a world economy now and it has been for a long time. Like you're trying to go back to some 50s, 60s mentality.
He's saying that. He's saying that.
And he ain't all the way wrong. I'm with you on that.
I don't think he's all the way wrong either. He's not all the way wrong.
He's saying we are being way more lenient and a lot of people are leaning on us and they have built up their economies off of us. He's not wrong.
But also, we get the benefit of that. When we can go to China and outsource some shit that costs $20, but over here you paying somebody $20 an hour to produce those goods, there's a trade-off in that.
So all his man and them, you know what I'm saying? 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. 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.
You can't take both. And so that's why I think he's fucking, 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? 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. School books, all that shit, bro.
It's rough. Shit look a little spooky.
Yeah. They about to stop talking about slavery nationwide.
It was a great part. Don't stop scaring people.
You're right. Come on.
It's fine. Heal the world.
Alright, I got a slap. I got a slap.
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 caught or not? How impressed were you with yourself? That is from Jamelo. Don't all talk at once.
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 8pm to 10pm 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.
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.
And it worked. Bitch, by golly, wow.
It didn't. It didn't, because you spoke to a nigga.
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... Oh, okay, maybe.

You know what I mean?

Well, I'll take that one too.

That worked.

Hey, suppress your real feelings to please me.

I'm with that.

Hey, you heard me?

You heard me?

How about y'all?

A lie you told where you were really impressed with yourself, like, oh, shit. That it worked.
Yes. My sleep was queued up.
I mean, the guy paid $50. I can't think of one.
You got it. I can't think of one either.
$50 don't go a long way no more. We'll try again and have one.
Hey, we'll try to answer it next part, man. I bet that was a lie.
Go ahead. No, I'll try.
I don't have one ready at the bit. Sorry.
Okay. I'm going with...
Let's go.

Heartbeat slower

Heartbeat slower

Heartbeat slower

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on We are

That I should carry

I should carry

I should carry you. Voices will tell me that I should carry you.

Voices will tell me that I should carry you.

Baptized in Fear. Cuts off.
