Episode 441 | Regional Bias

00:00:01
Speaker 1: The volume Welcome back of the week.

00:00:10
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I feel like Cameron and fifty might be in our comments soon because it is freezing in the studio right now. The heat is on, but it's like thirty degrees a year. I don't know what's It was kind of warm this weekend too. Sometimes when we leave the heat off, it gets cold in here. Yeah, it's like colder in here. Then outside it's this warming up though. I had to take my jacket.

00:00:30
Speaker 1: I get hot in fifty degree weather. I mean, this is like lined with it. That's like a bear skin for you. That's like, you know, why you don't make cold that's like a mink you gotta.

00:00:38
Speaker 2: Make only a white would mink out a car heard jacket with a special red guy?

00:00:45
Speaker 1: Oh man, what's going on? Man? I'm good. How you feeling?

00:00:48
Speaker 2: I feel good. I feel like we should get right to it. Let's get right to it, man. I feel I feel in a mood today. I feel some type of way today. I feel like you owe the culture some push ups. Why I feel like you owe ten pushups for because on Friday, nothing dropped but another very Mad.

00:01:06
Speaker 1: Mad Albums dropped.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: No No, but one of the most anticipated Albums of All Time did not.

00:01:10
Speaker 1: Drop Mad Albums dropped Mad song single.

00:01:14
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to see that the waves free. We'll get into the French and max V tape.

00:01:18
Speaker 1: I like it a lot. I don't know. I don't know. You didn't know. I don't know. That's what everyone is saying, Well, did not know. I know, Come on, man, don't do that. Don't do that.

00:01:27
Speaker 2: Christmas. We gave you a Mulligan sample clearances or whatever. Yeah, but you are certain that something that we have been anticipating, which could only really be three people when you get down to it. If we're talking rap m if you said across all genres, that throw Beyonce in there.

00:01:42
Speaker 1: Whatever. But we were thinking, and I guessed you were talking about j Cole. I don't think Iceman is done yet.

00:01:49
Speaker 2: I don't think Kendrick is dropping in the first quarter, So that would only leave one, which we assume to be based off the clues that you gave us, was Jermaine Cole. So I feel, even though I would not speak for the culture just in the room, I'm the only one with the mic that wasn't wrong in this situation. I feel like, Yo, it's ten push ups yeah, ten push ups for the culture, just forgetting us all excited.

00:02:10
Speaker 1: Had a great weekend, RN Rob Mark, we made a good point.

00:02:12
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're talk about you or not, but I feel like as podcasters, maybe we should get fined for misinformation. Why, Like we should put, like, you know, a swear jar. We should do a swear jar across the board for all podcasters. Listen, I owe a lot of money if that's the case. But I said a name. That's different. But I did think I did.

00:02:28
Speaker 1: I did have very good intel that an album was dropping, that we were authenticate. Okay, I don't know what.

00:02:33
Speaker 2: I feel like this is almost like women's semantics, because we knew based off the clues you were given, there was really only one person that it.

00:02:41
Speaker 1: Could have been. Okay, who else do you think it could have been? Well, I know who I was talking about, but I wouldn't say did they drop? No? Okay, why, I don't know. I don't know. Things happen. I don't know why it didn't drop, but I have very good conversations that it was supposed to drop. But you know, Okay, things happen, so it is what it is. Do you think I was wrong. That's that one time. I'm sorry, y'all. I apologize, but I didn't give that information without great resources. That's all, which which which I understand.

00:03:13
Speaker 2: I've been in that situation and sometimes you get good information from great sources and things change. And you already went out there and said some ship it's okay.

00:03:20
Speaker 1: I'm not like others in the culture where they don't, you know what I'm saying, apologize for their mishaps. I'm a man. I apologize, y'all. My work's still good, My step is still good, though you know what I'm saying. Players fuck up to. Yeah, the work just got intercepted at the border. That's sols Trump Trump Trump is being all I then was your ninety two bricks. Now you're back, It's okay, it's all right, it's so right, We're still here.

00:03:42
Speaker 2: Do we think that that all right? I'm done playing the guessing game. I me personally thought you were talking about J Cole. You did not say it was Cole. I felt like you were talking about Cole whatever album it is. Do you think maybe this Friday? Do we think it's just off? It was either last Friday or we don't even know? Is it just getting pushed a week.

00:04:01
Speaker 1: I don't know about a week, but it definitely was again offenormation that I had. It definitely was slated to drop Friday.

00:04:09
Speaker 2: With Okay, with the fall Off being rumored, not just with you, there was there was you were not you were the first person, not the only one that talked about what an album was dropping Friday or around that time. With Iceman, we think is almost done. I don't know, fall Off rumored to be almost done. Do Call and Drake drop within.

00:04:30
Speaker 1: The same month? No, same day? No?

00:04:36
Speaker 2: So do you think they're both playing the guessing game of who's gonna drop? And that's maybe why things are.

00:04:40
Speaker 1: Being pushed back? Nah, I don't know. I mean, you know, Drake is the algorithm. He does what he wants to do when he wants to do. Both of them do whatever the fuck they want to do. Yeah, but I mean I think Drake has more of a choke hold on the algorithm than any other artists right now. I think more people aren't anticipating anything that Drake does or says.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, good and bad, people that want to see his downfalling, people that want to I'm just saying you are correct. Yes, he controls that, but I think Cole people want to hear Cole is still very much in that algorithm based off everything that's been going on people when they just not talked about constantly because he's not so forward facing as Drake has been, especially in the last two years. So I still think Cole kind of moves. They both move whenever the fuck they want, unless Taylor Swift is dropping. I think the only other way that would dictate their release schedule would be the two of them with each other of when fall Off is coming, when Iceman is coming.

00:05:30
Speaker 1: Though I don't think like it matters.

00:05:33
Speaker 2: I feel like both could drop the same day and it would be fine for who both of them. I think you give very similar sales.

00:05:44
Speaker 1: If you think if Drake and j Cole dropped the same day they So who do you think has you know, Cole has outstill Drake in a year before, right, I understand it. But who do you think has the number going into this album? Who do you think has the number one album that week if they dropped the same day, I don't know. I don't know based off the directions they're taking in the album, where if Cole goes for a more for your eyes only style type of album, and Drake goes for a more I don't know View's style. I'm taking Drake there, but I think you underestimate the Cole stand fan base. And I don't want to say streaming for him because that implies bots. But I'm saying how dedicated and loyal his fan base is. And the numbers that Cole does, I think it's neck and neck to be. It's been neck and neck before. Neither Drake has never completely outsold Coal, like by a mile. They've They've been very similar with numbers. So they went that Cole's outsold Drake before they dropped on the same day before. No, I'm saying the same year because that count for something. No, I mean I think both of them are Obviously, you know to Forest Hills was the highest selling rap up that. You're right, I'm not. I don't remember. I couldn't tell you.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: I believe that broke a bunch of fucking numbers. No, Josh, not Forest Tails Queen.

00:07:01
Speaker 1: All.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tip in was j Cole. It's literally all you needed to He touched in Forest Hills, New York. What the fuck is going on?

00:07:09
Speaker 1: Right?

00:07:13
Speaker 2: Yes, Zillo came up for sales and Forest Hills. Yeah, I think it's closer than we're gonna anticipate. I think Cole, Kendrick and Drake for the most part. I mean, Drake said more of an output so totality, because he's had way more projects.

00:07:28
Speaker 1: Of course he's he's outsold both of them in that regard. But if you're going an album for album in the years that they both drop, you make you make a very good point. It's been It's been very close, and I can promise you that Ja Cole doesn't want to drop the same day. Oh I don't think it does either. But if they're both looking at first quarter, like shit, it's already mid January, it could end up that there are a few weeks of park for sure. Maybe if you're Drake or Cole, do you want to drop first or second? In this cointop? Which one are you? Are you waiting? Like? Which one am I?

00:08:01
Speaker 2: Either one of them? Would you want to drop first?

00:08:05
Speaker 1: If I'm cold, I want to drop first? Get It out the Way his most anticipated album, get It out of the Way. No, I'm just saying get it out. This might be Drake's most anticipated album. Oh yeah, Okay, yeah, so that's what I'm saying. And we've been with I would to get this Cold album how many years ago.

00:08:25
Speaker 2: I would rather Drake drop first, if I'm coal, just to get all of the Kendrick Drake Internet.

00:08:35
Speaker 1: Is he replying here?

00:08:37
Speaker 2: Just I just let that clear out for two three weeks and then people actually start listening to iceband for the music.

00:08:43
Speaker 1: It is not for what the subliminal message means. What you said, if you're Cold, you want Drake to drop first, Yeah, get.

00:08:48
Speaker 2: Get the whole Drake, just get the icemand she's.

00:08:52
Speaker 1: Going away for sure.

00:08:53
Speaker 2: But I'd rather I'd rather that not take over when my album's only a week or two old, like now, we're just this is just gonna start now.

00:09:04
Speaker 1: It's so much. It's a lot of pressure on Cold with this album though, it's a lot of pressure on Drake two. Yeah, but I think we've seen obviously who handles pressure better. We've seen it. So yeah, yeah, So I mean, you.

00:09:16
Speaker 2: Know, Drake has definitely made some some moves under pressure that looked like panic, but I'm not saying they are.

00:09:22
Speaker 1: But yes, and in the.

00:09:23
Speaker 2: Scope of things, Cold bout out immediately where he didn't even have the chance to make those types of.

00:09:27
Speaker 1: Decisions, but.

00:09:30
Speaker 2: Couldn't sleep. It's been like a day. Yeah, I'm on three days without sleeping. But no, I'm excited. I was hoping you were. You were correct about that, But yeah, I like to Rob Markman's suggestion of finding podcasters.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: All right, so what about wh I'm right, You're gonna pay me more? Yeah, Rob, we told about being wrong, but then the Jimmy Hoffer of the podcast union, But that's gonna just when I'm right then, and then it's just what it's like, you know, down bonus like, yeah, it's the same thing.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: Okay, then I need a bonus for getting Merrow right fort ninety seven. Congrats to our brother Merrow Morning Show.

00:10:12
Speaker 1: You never announced that you never said that out your mouth, because I was you never said Merrol's name out of your mouth. I gave all that you said, whoever takes the job is somebody that has a call all this other ship you said, somebody from New York ship. No, I said whatever I said, whatever else you said, you said that, right, but you never said Merrol's name.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: I eluded the way you alluded to just conclude for it to really be cold when the clip went viral on Twitter. All the comments under based off because I was I wasn't going to say Meryl's name out of respect for him, even though he saw.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: The clip and laughed and give fuck.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: I gave as many clues where it could obviously either land on Jesus or Meryl. So yeah, and then they said this podcast is no fucking credibility when they announced that, like Atlanta Digital team and we have no credibility.

00:10:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a piece of ship. I should die. No credibility yet zero, But yeah, congrats to Merril.

00:11:04
Speaker 2: I think, like I said Merril a month ago, I think it's a great fit for where Hot is that right.

00:11:09
Speaker 1: Now, the Bronx legend, absolutely legend legend.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope they give him as much creative freedom as possible, you know, to turn around the Hot ninety seven train, because you know, we've been critical of Hot, but that still is a logo in company that has been part of our lives forever, and we love Hot ninety seven. We only want the best for you, That's why we critique, And I think I think Merril makes the most sense.

00:11:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to marrow Man, good job. Yeah, we should go up there let's do it. Go kick it with Meryl, am let's do it. I just can't go to sleep the night before. Well, I gotta stay up all night and just go there, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, no sleep, but let's do it.

00:11:50
Speaker 2: How do we think Merril's gonna like, what do we think is his blueprint for this?

00:11:53
Speaker 1: This will be?

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Do you think it'll be the traditional what Ebro Rosenberg or Charlemagne ye Envy like, all right, we'll just do our commercial break shit and then our focus will really just be the digital interviews. Do you think Meryl will just do that? Do we think he'll get in some of his sketch bag? Do you think they'll focus more on radio clips rather than long form interviews Like, I mean, Merrow was great on Deesus and Marrow as far as interviews went with everyone, But I'm curious to see the two hours sit down interview one on one with Merrow in an artist. I just don't know if he's gonna take that route me. He does great with mellowing caz In that regard to Yeah, but I just I don't have the answer to it. This is me more complaining without a solution. Radio just needs it needs a revamp with something like it can't what Breakfast Club did to kind of revamp radio. They need another one of those. And I don't know if it's the same blueprint of what Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club did what was perfect for that time radio needed to go digital and Charlemagne smoked that shit and completely changed radio forever. I think they need another one of those, like give us a reason to turn on the radio.

00:13:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it'll be a different, uh, a different version of what we've already gotten with morning radio.

00:13:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, because right now it's a YouTube, yeah, right right now, the way Ebro and then brought it, which it's fine, their interviews were great. It was just another it's another podcast YouTube face. That's all it really is at the end of the day. So I don't know if that's it'll be the solution hopefully.

00:13:25
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know, you know, I know radio in these program directors, I hope they give Merrow more freedom with breaking artists though. Hell yeah, yeah, especially New York artists. I think we need to get at least back to that in some way. Yeah. You know, radio now you can be on your morning commute to work or school or whatever, and as soon as you turn the radio back on after days over, it's the same song that you probably left off of It's crazy, like we need to get more, you know, new artists, new music on the radio. So hopefully Merrow kind of has some saying that I know, you know, program directors gets a little a little iffy in that in that regard, But hopefully we get to that man with the morn the show.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope they focus. I hope Marrol is able to stream six to ten. I hope they're not so much in that old corporate bag where it's like we have to be on this radio frequency and on this YouTube page and if he puts this on Twitch, then it's over because corporate would lose their mind. It all has to be under this umbrella, like I hope, not just discovery with music, because clearly we've seen, like people like Kai, there's young content creators in New York that do other things besides music. As much as I want music discovery, a lot of the younger kids are more interested in content discovery. So I hope Meryl can at least focus on like local streamers and shit and get them involved because I think even like what plackboy Max does. I think music discovery has gotten better on streaming that it has on any other platform, oh for sure. Like, yeah, radios is tough to break music because you have the gatekeepers this and that. Streamers been putting on a bunch of new artists that I love, and then those those artists become streamers because they're like, well, this is where my audience is at.

00:15:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:15:01
Speaker 2: So yeah, I hope maryl just is able to to fuck with the younger kids and that like doesn't always have to be some kid that.

00:15:08
Speaker 1: Could freestyle well from Flatbush.

00:15:10
Speaker 2: Like, let's you know, diversify with with the content and maybe not just music can help turn that entire thing away to get us to eventually focus on you make.

00:15:19
Speaker 1: Morning shows great again? Yeah? Is that maga? It's closer like marrow meigga? M mmm yeah, I like m make morning shows great again? Who do you think is first? His first guest will be Jesus? I can I can promise you that won't be the first guest. I don't know, man, I don't know who was first guest would be. I don't even know for it to be a music guest, Alc, maybe Tiana I was right about that, Congraftsiah, Yeah, take that, Bob Markman, yeah, Rod, but I was. I told you motherfuckers that Tianna Taylor was gonna win Best Supporting Actress for her role in one battle after another, and god damn it, all of them did it. Shout out to Tiana Taylor. We love you. We uh, We're proud of you. And I'm just happy that Tiana is getting all of her just do man, because she's incredibly talented. So it was it was beautiful to see Hikes received a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress last night. Yeah, no, it's good. I mean, I watched her speech. I watched monologue why my Blanket on the comedian Blonde. She's hilarious. Nicki Glazer, Nicki Glazer, she she was very funny. Watched her her opening.

00:17:06
Speaker 1: We know nothing about you.

00:17:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could find one interview from nineteen ninety one that says your favorite food is pasta.

00:17:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing's changed, nothing has changed. I don't know anything about Leo. I loved that. I know the pussy Patrol.

00:17:16
Speaker 2: I know you fucked with David Blaine and was terrorizing the streets of New York. But I know nothing besides that.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: That's great. That's when you've won, when you could be at that big in Hollywood and people know nothing about you. She said, you accomplished so much before your girlfriend turned thirty, all before the age of thirty. She's right.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: And shout out to Manhattan Plaza Warrior, Timothy Charlameagne.

00:17:39

I don't know, man, listen man, but it was a really good movie to I enjoyed it. I did feel like he was gonna win some awards for that, and you could see them kind of setting Timothy up to be the next.

00:17:58
Speaker 2: I think that's been going on for Lee, which I fully fully support because he's all grown.

00:18:02

00:19:58
Speaker 1: It's good. You know.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: We'll let her tell her her health journey. But I felt like we jinxed it. Because we the last episode, we were like, yo, nothing crazy as happens. Something always crazy happens to this podcast at the end of the year, and we're like, damn, we made it this year. Marris had emergency surgery like the second thing.

00:20:19
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was Yeah, we can never just get out of it. Like quarter in the first quarter clean, we was not We weren't thinking anything like that, sir. No, like that's like you know me, but we are down a cast member. You will be returning. Thanks, Yes, how was your weekend? Though? It was cool? Man, just just chilled, didn't do too much, went so my homeboy went to his store, kicked doing him for a minute, did a little shopping. But nothing crazy, not not older that just chill ship. Yeah, I was about the same. I was about the same.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: I watched Uh, when was the last time you watched D two The Mighty Ducks the second when when their team USA.

00:20:57
Speaker 1: It's been years so the last time I watched that probably was like Blu Ray or something like that.

00:21:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I've seen the first one within the last five years, but D two I don't think i've seen since the nineties. So I'm just rewatching all my old favorite kid movies. Try to get Amara into him, like we we ran through toy store already. I was like, let me see non animation sports. See for mars Intuit if she's too young. So we watched the first one.

00:21:21
Speaker 1: It was cool.

00:21:21
Speaker 2: It was like, let's watch D two. I did not remember that. In the first round of the Junior Olympics, Team USA goes against Trinidad and Tobago's hockey team.

00:21:37
Speaker 1: Me was it? Was it a tight one? Have they haven't seen ice in Trinidad and Tobago?

00:21:44
Speaker 2: Can you please google Trinidad and Tobago Mighty Ducks. Mom, you're aware of the colors of Trinidad and Tobago. Yes, instead of using the colors of the I just threw tight eye on them. That is, nothing about their colors has anything to do with that. No, it's like a Jerry Garcia hippie movie.

00:22:04
Speaker 1: And none of those kids are from Trinida and Tobago. Those kids are from Queens maybe Brooklyn.

00:22:08
Speaker 2: And then in the stands they put a bunch of guys in T shirts with steel drums. I was like, I do not this is the most racist imber that scroll up. That's their fan base. They're just at the top and more tie I mind, nothing.

00:22:24
Speaker 1: About you could never have too much tie die. You know that not even at Carnival did they have not at all? Well maybe because jewve they throw paint on you, so maybe they was going for the jewve. Look, maybe do you.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: Think the Mighty Ducks producers were that tappeny think they was some subtle They may have been going for the juve, you know.

00:22:41
Speaker 1: What I mean, still paying right there, you know what I'm saying, like, you know, give it a little coach in the Disney movie. That's all. Yeah, I do not remember that. That's hilarious.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: And then if you didn't think they could top which they should sell that Kiss should put this out.

00:22:54
Speaker 1: Yeah you put kith on that right there. That sells for sure. Absolutely. Then you know, after they squeaked by Trinidad in the first round, it was a close one.

00:23:05
Speaker 2: It was how how close was D two to Cool Runnings? Was this maybe that year that they were just like we gotta try ship?

00:23:12
Speaker 1: Yeah nah, they was. That was a few years apart Cool Runners. I feel like it was early nineties. D two was what like ninety eight nine something like that. Four okay, so yeah, four and then Cool Runners might have been ninety two ninety three the year after. Yeah, so they do what Hollywood does when you see something, work, rinse and repeat. Charlie and the Ducks. All right, they did Jamaica suy rhyme, Let's get ready, it's Bob Slid Die cool Running. Now, Cool Runners is a classic though that Cool Runners as like they really could have got Jamaican actors. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, at that time, you know, they was trying to find Malik Yoba was like the quintessential you know, West Indian, yeah, correspondent.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: So yeah, after they they squeaked by the alternate Jersey Trinidad and Tobago co.

00:24:05
Speaker 1: Big upset with that one. They need a little toughening up.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: So there there's a gentleman that's in the stands that is, you know, just an avid hockey fan harassing Team USA. Only the black kids, may add Keenan Thompson is heckling, and for some reason, only the black kids on the team start fighting. And because they barely you know, got by Trinidad, coach Bombay thought it'd be cool if they went to the hood of South Central to get a little toughening up from Keenan and the boys, and of course Charlie and the crew are met with open arms in the rolling sixties. Absolutely, and then they had assembled this team with the Ducks and all the greatest players in the entire country, from the rodeo guy, the male Michelle Kwan, whole crew. Then they come back from the rowing sixties, jumped in crypt up with Keenan Thompson until the country of the United States. Yo, it's our homeboy from from the hoodie on the team though, and they just take him on. Get on the bus, kid from South Central we've never met. My name's coach bombay Is.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: This was Jesse in this one too. No, it it was the first. He didn't he didn't make tm USA. He had he had other plans. He had other plans going. He was becoming an R and B singer in Chicago. Yeah. Yeah, classic movie though, it was a classic one. It's it's incredible. It's just listen that right and sounds so crazy sometimes.

00:25:33
Speaker 2: And then the one the one black kid that was like left behind, like he he gave his blessings to Keenan to go with the with the squad.

00:25:40
Speaker 1: But you could sell that was really his dream. It was too old.

00:25:43
Speaker 2: And then as they're running through South Central, he's behind the fences.

00:25:47
Speaker 1: Go Usa, Go. That's how it always happened. That's how it was always happened to. His mother didn't sign Uh was it the consent form? Consent for him? Yes, to be represented by the United States? How many how many gamesters do you think we're birth from their parent not signing a consent form? Like? How how many gangsters villain origin is that their mom didn't sign a consent form to go on the school trip to Six Flags. I'm pretty sure a lot of gangsters in New York City was birth in that moment. Well, I lost my virginity that way on the school trip.

00:26:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom was out of town, so I couldn't get the consent form, so I forged it to go to bronxu.

00:26:26
Speaker 1: Oh and that's where. Yeah, yes, so you got your first piece. Look at mom. Mom don't even know does she know that you ever told you that story? Okay, I'm like, I don't have that relationship with my mom to talk about your first time having sex. It's like sex period. Okay, so your mom thought you was a virgin until you had tomorrow. No, I don't think that.

00:26:46
Speaker 2: But even like even telling her kid was pregnant kind of like made me like, but now my mom's not.

00:26:54
Speaker 1: Telling your mom, she's about to your grandma.

00:26:56
Speaker 2: Made you like because we just never like we just didn't have that relationship.

00:27:00
Speaker 1: We would talk about those types of things. So it's like and then like I don't know, like yeah mom kids, like yeah, we'd be having sexis shoot, like you know you live together, Like yeah, with parents.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: I mean some of my mom's friends I would talk to about that type of stuff, And like, I don't I didn't have that relationship, not with all adults, but just with my mom specifically, Like that's odd. And then like he is mom, I felt weird the first time, Like damn, she just knows like m.

00:27:25
Speaker 1: Hmm, just yeah, going making your belly button kiss. We make our belly buttons kiss at night.

00:27:38
Speaker 2: When was the first time you, well, you've been in one long term relationship.

00:27:42
Speaker 1: Did you sleep over her family's house ever? Yeah, did you guys sleep in the same bed? What was that? Like? It was it? I mean for me, it was a you know, but it was it was also kind of like, uh, you know, the parents were so cool where it was like, you know what I mean, it wasn't tripping about nothing. It was it was a very in the first thought of it, I was kind of like, all right, so I got to wear like actual pajamas, you know what I'm saying, You gotta get your real pajamas. And then I'm like, you got to sleep in your pajamas type of thing. But it wasn't. It wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be though. Yeah, even like when I was engaged, when I would stay there, I would sleep on like the basement couch. You got to be married in that house, not my house, and that hell nah, sleep on the couch.

00:28:27
Speaker 2: And then it was It wasn't until I was engaged that my knowingly a woman slept in my bed at my mom's holf.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:28:35
Speaker 2: Yeah nah, and my mom like, yeah, she's hardcore Catholic, but not like that.

00:28:40
Speaker 1: But it still was like, I don't know, it's all it is awkward. It's still an awkward few I know what you mean, But when the family is so cool and understanding where it kind of like knocks the edge off of that. Yeah, you know what I mean, That's that's what my experience was the family was like super cool, Yeah did you fucking no? No, no, no, no, okay, because that's like, yeah, that's next level crazy. I'm not doing that.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: I understand eventually my daughter is going to become a woman and being a relationship.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: I'm not that naive, but don't be fucking in.

00:29:10
Speaker 2: My house, Like, at least have that No, at least have that respect for me, no matter how old you get, Like, just don't fuck knowingly because I fucked at my mom's house not knowingly all the time. And I'm not naive to think that my kids won't be any different than me as far as teenage exploring.

00:29:28
Speaker 1: God, just don't let me know. Nah to see knowing. I got to take that back. We definitely did have sex in her parents' house, but the mom used to go to work and her father used to go to work, right, so like we thought they were both gone. It was in there going crazy one morning. I'm talking about like through we was in there by myself going crazy. She going to shower, I go to the kitchen. Pops is in the bed just laying there watching TV. I'm like, y'all go back, and I'm like, yo, Dad is in the room, and I know he heard us because it was one of those sessions where you think you got the house to yourself. Yeah, relaxed everything. Oh my god, crazy Karen, about nine am, crazy morning. Would you know how I go thinking we had the house to ourself. Yeah, Pops was laying right in the bed watching like The Price is Right or some shit like that. I'm like, he definitely hurt us in there.

00:30:21
Speaker 2: That has happened one time with a sister that she was living with, and oh, you had the whole shit. I walked out but asked, oh shit, close, your sister's out there.

00:30:35
Speaker 1: But I had to piss from my clothes back on, and I was cool with her sister. It's not like my first TIY was just like when I walked back outfter he use the bathroom, she was in the living room. I was it.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: There's nothing I can say that's going to change this. Let's just pretend it that round. Are you There's nothing? Yeah, we can't take nothing that's.

00:30:54
Speaker 1: Gonna Yeah it happened. It is what it is. Let's not make it any more awkward at all. Yeah, but you having to be like engaged before you can even sleep in the same bed. It's crazy, but I mean that was out of respect to her, like the values of her No, I get it. I get it.

00:31:13
Speaker 2: Foreign parents like they don't play that they was married at seventeen in the village like lineages of this is like, so you know you got to I mean, granted, I was staying there so much that you know, we were in the basement. She had a you know, like in Queen's basement stuff they're like finished. In some case it's an apartment. So I would sleep on the couch she was sleeping. Then you know, by midnight, I'm going in there, and then my alarm is set for five, And then you.

00:31:39
Speaker 1: Got, yeah, it's so crazy that you got to live. That's a real way to like be in a relationship.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: When I was in college, I guess I wouldn't call it college girlfriend, but somebody was I was seriously talking to. Summertime, I went out to her crib in like West bubble fuck, New Jersey, and I was planning on leaving.

00:31:58
Speaker 1: Also had super super religious parents.

00:32:02
Speaker 2: I fell asleep in her but it wasn't our intention and we weren't fucking at that time either.

00:32:07
Speaker 1: I fell asleep.

00:32:08
Speaker 2: Her father walked in that shit I have never seen a Jamaican man restrain himself from choking the fucking life out. He started having to pray to himself to calm down, Like he went in the corner and he was speaking in tongues to calm himself to fuck out. I thought I was going to die in that fucking room.

00:32:24
Speaker 1: Damn, that's serious. I mean, didn't play that shit, I guess. Come on, man, it ain't that deep overly religious. No, not get it, I understand.

00:32:31
Speaker 2: Anyways, D two's and Mighty Ducks clashing out out now, Yeah, have you watched D three?

00:32:36
Speaker 1: No? When they get the private school scholarship? Nah, I didn't watch that. Now, you got to revisit that one.

00:32:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, But ironically, some real Mighty Duck shit happened this week too. Did you see the fight between like the pee wee hockey kids over the weekend? Start from the beginning. This is the biggest royal rumble. This is all time, Yes, one hundred percent real. You know, like at football games, like at halftime they'll bring out like the Pop Warner League, they do that hockey games too, So it's like the pew of wherever this is at the full blown brawl. No, getting like legit punches in.

00:33:12
Speaker 1: Wait, is this a league or just like this the kids? That's happened. It's halftime. This is just kids at halftime of an NHL game. Yes, going to it. Now they're starting to beat up their own teammates. They're swinging at anybody. You've ever been in a party in the dark, fight and you end up hitting your homeboy by accident, That's what happened. He this is crazy.

00:33:27
Speaker 2: Wait till the goalie comes from across. No, no, no, there's another goalie. That's goalie number one. Goalie number two comes in with a flying, fucking knee and ends the old fight.

00:33:38
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And how long is this? Josh?

00:33:41
Speaker 2: This is the shorter version. That's fifty eight seconds. Not a parent, not a ref. It's an arena full of adults. I mean, well, this is hockey, right, It's just that's the culture of hockey. You gotta fight, not even the NFL. The NHL allows this for adults. Once you full and now you're hitting your own teammates in the NHL, want.

00:33:59
Speaker 1: You hit the floor that shit? The fight is over. When somebody dropped my man at the bottom left just gave up. No, I got to give it to these kids. I like it though, Man, Yeah, I like that. I like to see that in sports with kids. Man, show a little toughness. No kid is out there crying, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, we got to throw hands a little bit. I like that protective gear on. Yeah, you gotta clap for that. That's part of the game. That's part of the sport. Man.

00:34:24
Speaker 2: There's a couple of kids on the white team that you see skate away. I don't want to hope they review this footage.

00:34:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not on the team. Where he was at when the niggas was on? Like, yeah, he was at man, respect told me right there. He came and helped his man.

00:34:40
Speaker 2: But wait till the blue goalie comes he throws josh at the shorter.

00:34:45
Speaker 1: No, but all seriously, where the rep's at is? I see a mascot.

00:34:51
Speaker 2: That goalie just went nuts. No, this goes on you know how long? A three minute?

00:34:55
Speaker 1: Fighters? Yeah, no, that's but yeah, we're the reps. The refs didn't stop it. The coaches. No, that's what I'm saying.

00:35:01
Speaker 2: Okay, where was the guys on the steel drums section with WHI child was doing?

00:35:10
Speaker 1: It would be fun to do.

00:35:11
Speaker 2: Uh, like the way they do beer leagues for softball and all that. I would like a like a hockey one, not like super contact, but I think it would be fun.

00:35:21
Speaker 1: Good luck with that not too serious hockey. Yeah, nah, nobody want to see that ship. If you don't know how to skate and really play hockey, don't don't go out there. I can skate, yeah, but skating and playing hockey too, I know.

00:35:33
Speaker 2: But like I'm saying, like a beer lead the way they do softball for like you're just there to knock out an hour and get the blood flowing and then you go to the bar after with your friends like.

00:35:41
Speaker 1: That type of Yeah, that's peach type of ship. I get it. That'd be fun. Roller hockey. Did you ever play roller hockey? No? Never played hockey. Damn my life. An Nah, we didn't. That didn't That didn't reach That didn't reach my block because didn't play a little pond hot, didn't reach the university. I didn't reach Questing, I promise you I didn't reach Quested. No.

00:36:01
Speaker 2: Well, what's that right there? It doesn't look like the most powerful iPhone that's ever existed. That is not the all new iPhone seventeen pro designing those powerful iPhone of all time. But I know why you haven't gotten it is because of traffic and the store and transferring data.

Speaker 2: Well anyways, I don't know why we went on that that hockey tangent, but let's get back to you pissing everybody off because it wasn't.

00:36:49
Speaker 1: Just to push job.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: A lot of my friends called me over over the weekend of a lot of minds too.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: A lot of people hit me. Call your friends. I call my friends and we can debate rap every week. Yeah, we can debate this rap. Let's do it.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: It felt like last year all over again for some reason, like Yo, I'm all really believe this. I'm like, guys, I don't know, call him you want his number?

00:37:15
Speaker 1: Here it is Yeah, they called me, man, I'm always willing to talk.

00:37:17
Speaker 2: A lot of people hit me about your Andre three thousand take that when viral?

00:37:22
Speaker 1: What's the number to be called viral? At this point? Who knows a lot of people were adding it.

00:37:26
Speaker 2: I guess yes, which is kind of funny because I think this goes back to our Drake Kendrick post battle New rat Fan situation, because while I don't agree with your take with Andre three thousand, and we debated it. That's not a crazy take. You're not the first person to say that, that's not the wildest. That has been a take for twenty years.

00:37:47
Speaker 1: I never asked you this. Do you have him in your top five? No? Okay, maybe my top ten? I'd have to yeah, maybe my top ten. He's not my top five? Do you know how small five is? I think a lot of people just have the conversation.

00:38:00
Speaker 2: But again, while I disagree with you, I think a lot of people that were replying to you don't have him in their top five.

00:38:04
Speaker 1: Let's I'm here to have the conversation.

00:38:07
Speaker 2: Reiterate because I hate We used to blame page, but now I can't even blame page because Peage gets the full points in there. I just think now I need to blame Trey because I don't even know if people are watching the clips or just reading the caption, and they know if they comment to go against it, they'll get their traction. And the waterfall of Elon Musk just continues. But I don't think it's a crazy take to say three Stacks is not in my top five because he does not have a solo rap project for everyone. My god, I was losing brain cells watching people try to tell us that The Love Below is a solo rap album like lose It, and they were saying it with I mean, it's it's Twitter, so you can't really tell their tone, but I can read like smug arrogant shit on Twitter. How they come across just the smugness of like will the Love Below is a solo rap album where.

00:39:02
Speaker 1: And I thought I thought I was baser one rap.

00:39:05
Speaker 2: Song on that entire twenty two track outcast album.

00:39:10
Speaker 1: I thought that I was being very fair and saying that three thousand is definitely a legend. He's one of the greatest rappers, one of my favorite rappers of all time. I just couldnot no longer have them, and my personal personal is the key word. Person on top of needs to be everyone else's stuff. But it's just I've had listen, I've had these conversations with so many people, whether there's other artists, whether it's just people from different parts of the country. You would be amazed, well you actually noticed, but so many people from Atlanta, like the city of Atlanta, do not have three thousand in their top five more people in that from Atlanta today. You would hit them say future. You would hear them say little Baby. You would hit them say Thug. You would hear them say Gucci. You would Because I've had this conversation, I'm like, y'all don't listen to they like, we don't listen to three thousands like that, Like he's not as revered in Atlanta as people from other states or cities view. And I'm like, really, I've literally had you were there for some of them. I've had these conversations and I'm like, yo, y'all look crazy, Like I could see his influence in a bunch of these artists from Atlanta. Hell yeah, so he's influencing Thug. So for people to take what I said and feel like, you know, I'm discrediting Andre or I'm not qualified to say what I'm saying I didn't know I had to be qualified to have a personal favorite top five rappers of all time. And I challenge anybody that feels like I'm wrong with saying that. Show me Andre three thousand's juicy, show me his one mic, show me his you know, all of the his, his, his, lose yourself. He has those records. But no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm talking about solo rap classic songs. I'm talking about the ones are undeniable rap classic solo songs. I'm not He has classic verses, has amazing songs with other artists, outcasts, whether it be you know, Dungeon family, whoever. Dred two thousand is a goat. We'll never take that away. I'm just saying I can't have him in my personal top five because when you think about it, it's like, where is the solo classic and it's not there. Not saying he doesn't have classic verses, not saying that he's not on classic songs, not saying he doesn't have classic albums. I'm talking about solo by himself. Where are they? And this is where we differ post that debate and just seeing all the controversy it caused, where we differ on that is that's not as important to me as it is to you. I think it's not as.

00:41:50
Speaker 2: Important that there isn't the solo album there. His output of verses gives me enough as a rap fan to put him in a top ten personally for me or top fifteen. Taking that away from him, that's not a huge like check for me based off for other artists. Sure, but other artists don't have the output that three thousand had with four back to back classic rap albums without casts like So that's where I just don't there are some artists that, yeah, you would need some more based off your output, even with your skill level to be there if you're in a group, I agree this Three Sacks of Me just has done enough for me to feel that way.

00:42:31
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this, if Biggie the rest is Soul was just a part of Junior Mafia his entire career, with anybody there, we only get to get like, I'm gonna ask you the question again, is Junior Mafia putting out a QUEMENI I'm going to yes, they did, Yes, and the big is rapping three sacks versus I would say, Wow, this guy's incredible. Would you have them top five, Maybe you don't have three thousand top five. I mean, I don't know what the counterpoint. I mean, I think Big Boys a little better than C's, So I don't know that would work. Would you? Would you have if jay Z was in a group its entire career? Weird have you? But I don't know how to answer that hypothetical. But why not? Because what we're talking about, because we're talking about an incredible rapper, incredible artist. So just doesn't say solo albums.

00:43:18
Speaker 2: Jay Z's thirteen projects where there's the way they were, but also there was another verse on every song.

00:43:26
Speaker 1: That was another rapper. No it is non't changes, no solo album.

00:43:29
Speaker 2: I know I'm saying jay Z's in a duo and we have the same catalog with the same jay Z verses, but now there's just an extra verse from his Will you have him as ta Fi?

00:43:37
Speaker 1: Yes?

00:43:37
Speaker 2: Because everything that he said in all those verses, all those songs is fucking incredible.

00:43:41
Speaker 1: I don't care if you add an extra verse. I don't believe you. If if I don't believe you, If Sauce money this is not like a slider, I don't believe you, Sauce is an incredible rapper. I don't believe you, but if if reasonable doubt Volume one, everything is exactly the same. I don't believe you.

00:43:55
Speaker 2: Same songs, same verses from total everything. But you're adding a sauce money verse to every every single song. I'm sorry, jay Z is still a goat to me. That's not what I'm saying.

00:44:04
Speaker 1: Three thousand is still a gooey saying would you have him in your top five? It's the would you have him in your top five? Yes? No, you would not. Everything's the same, you would not not. The hustle is the same versus we just add a sauce money one At the end, bro, listen, Beyonce is Beyonce Beyonce. If she never leaves Destiny's Child, was she queen? That's that's such a hard arguments. She was part of a group that she went solo and became who she is. Okay, so she's now revered as the greatest of all time?

00:44:34
Speaker 2: Is Destiny's Child gonna continue to make more albums instead of be going solo?

00:44:39
Speaker 1: Like?

00:44:39
Speaker 2: Are you just saying I only get this Destiny's Child album to make that case? And then Beyonce retires?

00:44:44
Speaker 1: I'm saying you only get Destiny's Child's discography, but they would have kept making music at Beyonce not went solo. So I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe you get Beyonce, you only get Beyonce with Destiny's Child. Is she still revered as the artist, the performer, the entertainer as she is? No, because in those.

00:45:09
Speaker 2: Those Destiny Chills days after they broke up, with the five of them to three of them, it was pretty fucking balanced until you get Survivor. Yes, Beyonce may have been the forward facing star of the three, but they balanced out those records pretty fucking well Michelle and Kelly. So it's tough because how they were doing that group Like, I'm not dancing around question. Your question is just tough to answer because something's so hypothetical.

00:45:35
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, if Big, if Big doesn't die and puts out seven dog shit albums after life after death, we're having a different biggie conversation. We can't have that because he passed away, and that's a hypothetical. It's unfair. A conversation of somebody being in a group extremely talented but not having.

00:45:55
Speaker 2: The line stays in Leaders of the New School, No, I don't look at him as the same buster, of course, not because I saw what happened.

00:46:02
Speaker 1: He became a great solo actor. PG. I feel like you're on my side. It's okay.

00:46:08
Speaker 2: I just don't understand. Can someone maybe explain the question a bit differently to me?

00:46:12
Speaker 1: I know I explained it to you. You said what you said doesn't be out. I mean, if he would him top five everything, Rory just doing Rory doing what Rory dude, just trying to be this like you know exactly what I'm saying, Bro, you would not have You're making up a hypothetic. No, of course I'm making a I do do that a lot.

00:46:36
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that this time because I don't understand the question if if Biggie doesn't put out Ready to Die or Life after Death and he is just part of this Fulton crew of Little Sea's, Little.

00:46:45
Speaker 1: Kim and big I don't know. I don't know what I don't know. No, don't, he's just doing this thing that he likes it. No, don't, don't. Don't worry about him. It fucking he's just doing the ship life Never leave one hundred and ninety second Street. I don't okay, No, they're not the greatest. I don't know. Hey, listen, my point still stands. Three thousand is an incredible MC, incredible rap, incredible artists. He's all of those things. I would never I'm never trying to take that away from them, And I thought I was very clear and what I was saying, I'm just saying in my personal top five, you cannot be there if you don't have a solo album, you don't have any solo work, Like it's unfair to guys that you know have so many solo albums and they have transcended fucking generations in decades, Like should I could? I probably should put llll there before on three two thousand, if we're being honest, first rap star transmitted with three four decades since the eighties.

00:47:47
Speaker 2: Oh, you're putting together a top ten, not a person on just the top ten. Elo cool Jas is in the top ten of the fifty years we've had for So that's what I'm saying.

00:47:56
Speaker 1: So we were talking about like favorites, but this is what I'm just saying. I'm just saying that it's not fair to other MC's of the artists, other rappers that have solo albums solo albums, solo albums and not have them near when it's like three thousand, it's incredible. But he's in a group.

00:48:13
Speaker 2: I think what what made the internet upset, which which is again we're not going to take any accountability. We put it on page. We can't do that anymore. So now it's trife for sure. I think the word overrated is what sent people off. Your point. I understand your point. I totally get it. We can debate the point. It's not a point that other people haven't made either. I think everyone just reacted to the word overrated. But there's no world where one hundred and two thousand is overrated.

00:48:40
Speaker 1: Like if you have him in your top five, that's overrating them. Okay, I mean that's subjective to me. To me, that's if you need so you need solo albums. As an MC, you need solo albums. It is what it is like. But that's not a knock on him. That's not I'm not saying he can't do it. He just didn't do it for whatever reason. That's his creative, you know, decision. I'm just saying, if I'm looking at all of the other rappers and mcs that are in my top twenty. All of them have solo albums. Yeah, you can't be the only one that doesn't have a solo album and you're in top five, Like it's no, no, come on, man, that's unfair. You know, ninth Wonder has some very interesting things to say. I'm not saying it was about me, my brother and as. He just had some very expressive things that he wanted to get off his chest about the three thousand take. And you know, I've read what Knife said, and I respect ninth and he's I think he's incredibly talented. So he's somebody who I would look at and listen to what they have to say and take some you know, I would take something from that because I respect his opinion. But yeah, I mean it's just my personal opinion. No disrespect to Andrew. But like I said, you have this conversation in Atlanta. A lot of these a lot of cats in Atlanta don't even rever Andrew to say. So when people say, oh, your regional biases, I'm from New York City. The fact that I would even have Andre two thousand in that conversation means I'm not being biased. I don't think there's plenty of other New York mcs. I could have put there in my top five, just if I'm being biased, but the fact that I recognized with Outcast, because we're not going to just say Andre with Outcast did for the culture and the music that they gave us, especially somebody like me. That's why Andre was in that conversation. But it's not a regional bias, like I'm not biased because I'm from New York and I just want to I'm not knocking Aundre, but again, you go to Atlanta. The disrespect that I've personally had conversations and the things that I've heard, or or the kind of like the knock that they give Andre in Atlanta. We're in the city that he's from, and I'm looking at the I'm arguing for Andre in Atlanta.

00:50:44
Speaker 2: I can co sign several times when I'm not even then with you in studios, I've been the only person defending Andrexie thousands Yes, within a bunch of kids that were born and raised in Atlanta.

00:50:53
Speaker 1: So it's not I'm not being biased, just personally. You don't have any solo albums, so.

00:50:59
Speaker 2: This was I didn't see all the ninth tweets he was suggesting that there was oh yeah, NC bias.

00:51:05
Speaker 1: Nith was saying, we need to take the microphones away. Well, I don't think he was specifically Rosenberg said that I need to take a week off. I'm just like, God, damn for my personal top five shit. I mean, if that's if I was being real, if I was being biased, I could have had Nikki in my top five. What's funny?

00:51:24
Speaker 2: But the top five part, when you sit and think about it, I think i'd want to ask Ninth and Pete it's three stacks in their top five and then naming your top five is five a small small.

00:51:37
Speaker 1: You know how many rappers, but how many rappers have come through the culture, fifty years of hip hop? Top five? I don't think it's disrespectful. Someone's like, y'all, I got three stacks at twelve. I wouldn't think that's a diss at all. It's not. So that's what I'm saying. I wasn't and I think for the most because again, I got a lot of phone calls and text messages and dms from some of your favorite rappers, artists, producers where they were agree with me. Yeah, they were saying, yo, you're right, you gotta have that solo work. You have to. But it's not They understood what I was saying. I'm not knocking his skill set. That would be fucking crazy for me to knock two thousand skill set. Like he's a fucking a legend in every sense of the word. He's one of the most creative, you know, people we've had in our culture. But without that solo work, there's too many other artists that we can fight for, and they have plenty of solo albums.

00:52:25
Speaker 2: I wouldn't I'd be lying if I said regency bias does not exist, but I don't think it exists in a negative way whatsoever. Like if I hear a rapper and I ask yo where they're from. If they're from New York, am I going to be happy about that and be like, Yeah, of course, I probably like more New York rappers based off where I was from, grew up.

00:52:49
Speaker 1: Listen to that type of music.

00:52:50
Speaker 2: I probably have more of an affinity for kiss than maybe somebody in the Midwest or the South. I get that. That's in a positive light. I've never heard someone and then they say that, oh nah, they're from Chicago, and I went, I don't like them anymore.

00:53:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't make sense.

00:53:06
Speaker 2: That's never Yes, there is a bias no matter what. By proxy, wherever you grow up, you're probably gonna like that music more because it's right there. You're gonna be excited to champion the people that have the same experiences as you in the same neighborhoods that you grew up in. You can identify with them more. Yes, that adds in a piece to it. But I've never heard a rapper that I liked and they said, nah, he's from Gwennett County, Like.

00:53:29
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I would never hateng in the top ten. Yeah. And the thing about the top five is, you know, they say we're originally biased, there's really only two slots that because I think I think for the most part, most of us in the culture, guys like Ninth, Pete and you know guys that have you know, been around or in music or created music. I think we all have j Big and Nas. I think that's three that I think I could safely say I think Ninth and piece eras most of those guys. No matter of us, we have Ja Big and all three of those gentlemen are from New York City. Yeah, So where does my regional box come in if we all unanimously have three gentlemen in our top five. In the beginning, it was mostly you know, till the early nineties when the West Coast came with dominance, it was New York for the most part. So that's what I'm saying. So why am I now being regionally regionally biased? If we all collectively have at least three guys in our top five from the city I'm from, I'm not being biased, Like that's what we all have to choose. So what if you're not being negative? What's wrong with that?

00:54:34
Speaker 2: Like, I have no idea what it's like to be from Atlanta and go buy a fucking Gucci mixtape in five off Cleveland, Like, I don't.

00:54:42
Speaker 1: I don't know what's saying. It doesn't hit.

00:54:44
Speaker 2: I don't know what that's like, right, right? Does that mean that I need I discredit Gucci?

00:54:49
Speaker 1: No, I just don't.

00:54:49
Speaker 2: I don't have that experience, And I wouldn't look at someone who has that experience and be like, nah, it's trash.

00:54:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I wasn't there. We all kind of have some regional regional bias because again, the way you live with the music, the way you grow up with the music, what it means personally to you, the time stamp of it though, where it takes you back as far as being a kid in high school, like where you're from. Yeah, that's the music that you listen to growing up, so it has a different meaning to you, and it holds a different amount of weight personally to you.

00:55:17
Speaker 2: And but to me, even like Gucci's an example of that. I think Three Stacks has surpassed any region. Yes, yes, I think So Street has Astlanta as you could come.

00:55:29
Speaker 1: I sound something to say of atl We've had this argument with people from Atlanta are surpassed Atlanta, But you've had this argument with people from Atlanta who don't feel that way about three thousand. They don't. They don't feel the way I feel for three thousand, and they're from the city he's from. So that's what I'm saying. It's like, you know, reading things that what Knife is saying, It's like, I understand it, I get it, But it's like there are people from the city that Andre is from that don't hold them to the regard that I hold them from it.

00:55:59
Speaker 2: And I'm from New York and again I don't know if he was specifically talking about you were this podcast in general.

00:56:04
Speaker 1: He was talking about me.

00:56:05
Speaker 2: Man is my brid like you was talking to night me as your brother. I will reply on this POD's behalf of saying regional bias.

00:56:16
Speaker 1: I'm from New York.

00:56:17
Speaker 2: In my top three, if not, one of my personal favorite group of all time is Little.

00:56:21
Speaker 1: Brother from North Carolina. Yeah.

00:56:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was thirteen when I picked up one of the best produced albums ever the listening.

00:56:32
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the producer's name right, what's his name again? I didn't go Durham. Yeah, I would never take this out of my head. Oh my god.

00:56:46
Speaker 2: In ninth wonder this is a great ship I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, there was no reasonabi slum village.

00:56:56
Speaker 1: I hate Detroit. What Knight says so and this is his conclusion, so knows what's just fucking around right now? Of course we love Knife, So in conclusion, I don't care what ranking anyone puts him. Damn we're talking to me. Andre Benjamin is one of the greatest ever to put pin the papers. I respect. I've seen people put their favorites on list even with the subpar album discography. Nope. Three thousand is a master of words. Period.

00:57:19
Speaker 2: Well, I don't agree. I don't disagree with one thing.

00:57:21
Speaker 1: Neither do I. Neither do I. But there's nobody on my list whose discography is whacking my top five. I'll tell you that not in my top five. No, and No.

00:57:30
Speaker 2: Nine is correct everything he said there, and again I do think right here, we got to stop reasonable bias because if three thousand was born with a Northern area code into a ton of mixtapes and versus, we aren't having this debate.

00:57:41
Speaker 1: Of course, exactly if he had mixtapes, if he had solo shit, Yeah, you're right. That's my whole point where you're right if he did that, but not if he didn't. If three Stacks was born in New York.

00:57:56
Speaker 2: No, I actually think a lot of the genius of what three Stacks is is his Atlanta perspective. No matter where you put that beautiful mind, it's gonna be amazing. But that sound in Southern playlistic Cadillac like that. That's my how much I love three Stacks is based off the sonics that he created. Likes a style, Yeah, and that's that's an Atlanta stack. That's why I love him is because he's from Atlanta. Yeah, and when you get down and this is a regional bias that a lot of people outside of New York hold to. This myth of New York bias northern area code. Go talk to a bunch of kids in Jersey, because they'll start to think if I was born in Brooklyn, people in DC, if I was born you just keep going down and down and down. It's no one's ever going to be happy Northern. I'm sure the Clips thought at the time, like, damn, we was born. Well, I guess they were. But if we were from the Bronx Bronch legend, they are. But that's what made the Clips the Clips is because they were from Virginia. So I don't agree with that. If if they were from a certain area code, they'd be revered more.

00:58:57
Speaker 1: I like what this gentleman had to say in response to night We said, know what does region have to do with people saying he needs a solo catalog? Y'all love screaming biased when up north folks don't agree. I like that. I like that. Yeah, I'm just saying, solo catalog, solo album, even if it was just one, even if he just gave us one solo album. I'm not saying he had to give us five six album. I'm just saying, even if it's just something where we could say, Okay, this is what three thousand looks like on his own away from Outcast. Yah know, he has verses, but again his features on other people's songs, and you know what I'm saying, Like, it's just not solo. Yeah rap because he gave people was Fighting for Love Below and all of that, and I'm just like, bro, that's not rap.

00:59:39
Speaker 2: It's not And I have to give some pushback to Even though I'm on the ninth side with this and agree with what he said and disagree with you, I still if you look at Knights Knife was already a young legend when he was with LB. But him doing threats, him doing girls for Destiny's Child, and then him going on to start his label, have his own own artists, produced for other people that made Ninth the legend outside of the group like Primo, Gangstar Greatest groups of all time? Would Premo be a legend just just with Guru for sure? But why prem is alien like is because he went out and did so much stuff as DJ Premiere and I feel like producers go through that same thing. There's a lot of times we've seen producers that are like and you know, the early days when it was producer MC group type thing, like we I got to see what they do outside of just the group. That's a big thing with producers too. I think Ninth is the legend he is based off Little Brother for sure, but it's everything Ninth did outside of LB that made him who he is and why we revere him so much, because he had the range to do shit elsewhere outside of just what he was doing in the LB bubble. So yeah, I would say the same thing for producers. And I hear what he's saying. He's three sacks is one of the greatest to ever put that paper like that goes by saying, but that's not even what the argument was exactly.

01:01:03
Speaker 1: Showed me where that wasn't. I didn't, I didn't say all of that, didn't take nothing away from just personally God to have so albums man, but love to three thousand. I hope he didn't see that clip and think that I, you know, with disrespect, it's never that from me. Loved the three thousand one of the greatest ever we just need solo three thousand.

01:01:20
Speaker 2: Okay, well this is good, this good segue to get out of because I know this to drag a bit. I had someone I consider a friend, Ninth, hit me about you over the weekend. And listen, man, I'm always here to defend you. I see one of your friends just throwing me up on his Instagram and I don't know if I got this the same protection. Oh here, I am taking strays for you, just strays from your people. I'm telling Roseberg, Naw, he ain't mean it like that. I'm telling Ninth like, nah, nah he hear out the argument.

01:01:51
Speaker 1: I'll put you all on the phone. How about you call onto the show.

01:01:54
Speaker 2: I'm like, nah, come on, I'm here defending my man's Meanwhile, my man's man.

01:02:00
Speaker 1: It's just man in the triple threat position. That was so nasty. I forgot about that picture. That was so hilarious to see it and it was random as fuck. So all right for those that is such a random post. That is such a random post, bro, Like, what the fuck that was? It's almost like yo, is he hacked? Like that is? That's how random that post is.

01:02:26
Speaker 2: I know, because then everyone was coming like YO did you say something. I was like, I don't think I've said anything positive negative, anything early period that would be Drake worthy, like something that would even be on his not great arc.

01:02:38
Speaker 1: Yeah. Nah, we laughed and it. We laughed about it.

01:02:42
Speaker 2: Here here I am going against my guy ninth for you and you just laughing up. Not see what Demarus was talking about because it was with all those laughs, it was such a random post.

01:02:50
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, what the I laughed at it, like what is this like? It was just a random a random random post like just you know, I don't know why. We laughed at it, and it was just like you said, this is sick Like that was like, I don't I don't have no story behind why he posted it. We laughed about it. It was just a random I guess it popped up in his phone and memories or something, you know how that shit goes. I don't know. Memories don't live like people. Yeah, you've seen that. I was like, oh yeah, I got to remind this dude of how crazy he looked in his picture. Nah, Because.

01:03:20
Speaker 2: There was another time that Drake sent a photo of me when I just got Baislely. Baisley was about this big and I was. I think I was somewhere in like Columbus Circle and someone took a photo of me and Baize. I'm wearing like a pink uh tied eye to fade in the blues and nasty shirt. Yeah, and I'm holding up a puffy Drake springshot of that ship.

01:03:41
Speaker 1: Not at the time, like a lot of time had passed.

01:03:44
Speaker 2: He held it and sent it to somebody and said this is your man, and I was like, he's had that photo for a while.

01:03:52
Speaker 1: Baisley's about this big. Yeah, yeah, nah, that was such a and the zooming is crazy, yes, like you could even crop it.

01:04:04
Speaker 2: My cousin Hartley put me in a group chat with our other cousin, Justin and both of their wives at midnight and put that in there and said, do explain.

01:04:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was so ran. I thought that was I thought you posted. I had to look when I just you know, sometimes I posted some some more I gave. I gave the streets some more of the photo shoot. Drake posted, No, I didn't post it. Then he posted that was just so I didn't. I had to look and see who posted it. I thought you posted that.

01:04:30
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give backstory to this because it is actually hilarious. I'll be forgetting. There's so many like just new fans because this was a thing eight years ago that like we all laughed about. So we were doing a photo shoot with Spotify and with shot our guy Jay Silvere. He hit me and said, I never thought this would be the photo of mine that Drake posted. So we had this photo shoot where we had an idea of color palettes and this and that, and then Spotify, without telling us, comes to the photo shoot what was at their office, but shows up to the rumor in with Spotify basketball.

01:05:06
Speaker 1: Jerseys yeah, and.

01:05:08
Speaker 2: Some athletic gear and a NERF ball and said, why don't we do like a basketball theme? We said no, and as a joke we put the shit on. And that's why I'm sitting in a bad triple threat because it's like we were clowning Spotify and how bad the idea was, they never went out in the press release. We ended up just going up to the fucking roof and shooting an equally nasty photo shoot, but at least it wasn't this.

01:05:32
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, we was having fun.

01:05:33
Speaker 2: We released these photos ourselves because they were so hilarious. We got the back but yes, this was not a serious thing. This was to show Spotify that any of your creative ideas you can keep to your fucking self.

01:05:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was ridiculous. But when they brought that little nerf ball in, let's have fun, fuck it, let's have a good time, fun time. But we still do you still have your Spotify Jurney? No, god, no, I probably left it there that day. I never took that out of there. Yo. That was That was a nasty, nasty shoot, good times, man. But that was just a random fucking post. I'll tell you that. Very random. Now, I gotta know what other screenshot said. Oh man, that was from twenty eighteen. Oh man, I got one of you from that shoot. Yeah. Now, I had to do the do rag on on hold on, I'll even find it so I remember CP. I remember my nasty ship I had to do. I had to do rag on, had the jersey on one arm like I know, nasty nasty times. Yeah, to do right, We're disgusting. I assume you didn't bring that armband. No, man, you think I have a just had army fam No nasty times, man, I mean what did they think? I don't know, man, we were just trying.

01:06:48
Speaker 2: Feel like billboards and ship like it was gonna be like that is crazy. That looks like an athletic and agile man.

01:06:57
Speaker 1: That was like a JD sports ad, Like that's definitely a case Swiss ad for sure. Oh god, that's disgusting. Yeah, or like if Gap ever put out an athletic line, it would look like that. I don't know if you bowl in a basketball or what like, I don't know what. Yo. That was hilario. I wonder if I still have that jerseys. It was also like six sizes too small. That's why I think you actually have your ship hang out off here. Yeah, because I was squeezing into that thing. Oh my god. Yeah, that was That was a funny.

Well, anyways, while we're still on music, I didn't want to come in here todate why not hate this great man stolee thing the algorithm pushes.

01:09:31
Speaker 2: Because I feel like, not that I care anymore, but I think I come across with this specific artist as a hater and we're not gonna get in with another full Bruno conbo.

01:09:41
Speaker 1: But I wait for the album. I'll just put it that way. It wasn't really filling the single weight though I would dance to this at a bar for sure. It's Brunos. It's good. Yeah, it's gonna always be good. That's just the type of orders is. It's never gonna be bad. Like I didn't. I didn't really like sexy Red Joint. But if it comes on out of spot I do the j meme, I'll start looking at the DJ like that got a nice little groove to it. But I just hope.

01:10:08
Speaker 2: Black Sam and Nipsey's family got royalties for that record. That's all I'm saying. Which this one he just put out No One. That's the last time that I checked. Yeah, here's the thing I saw. Most of the internet was giving him shit because.

01:10:21
Speaker 1: They're saying he's been making the same music for the past ten years. Cool, so have a lot of artists.

01:10:25
Speaker 2: I don't even know if this is in the same exact realm of everything Bruno's put out, but it has had the same generic feel I guess would be the way the sound is different, but it's the same feel.

01:10:37
Speaker 1: So somebody said he's been releasing the same song for the past ten years, and Bruno replies, and you've never been shipping y'all in your life. I see. I like that though. I respect that Bruno. Listen, man, it is what it is. He's consistent. Listen, Bruno is you know I feel like incredible artists. It's just like you again, I understand what this person is saying. It just feels like we've got this music before, we have heard this sound, yeah, for so long already, Like, so, I you know, again, what does Bruno sound like? I still don't. I still don't know how to answer them. Somebody said, what does Brune Mars sound? I don't think I wouldn't know how to answer that. It's this feel. It's not a sound, it's this feel. Okay. It was funny that Mary j just went well, it wasn't e viral, but she had a clip that was on in and I saw this morning of her in the studio a while ago. I believe Puff was in there too, and they were going through a mix and she preferred the demo version to what they had just mixed, and they were they were trying to trick her to play her what she thought was the demo and she was like, no, no, this is not this is not my version. You took the grits out of it. M Okay, I just might like I know, I don't. I didn't even look to see produce. I just know a producer, I revered, Demile has been working on it. I know James and Boll.

01:11:50
Speaker 2: I feel like whoever touches Bruno's mixes takes the grits out of Okay, because he works with people that are the greatest, and you hear everything else they do outside of Bruno, and again, this is perfect pop music. I don't want this to him across his hate. You can't hate on it. It's like, that's how annoyingly perfect it is. So let's see what the album entails. This was a very predictable single where I was hoping Bruno for this point in his career, would finally take that heel like this was the time, maybe almost like his Weekend in the mask phase for a year, like even though the Weekend has been accused of making very similar music for his whole career. Once that happened, it still stayed in the pop weekend sonic realm, but it changed a bit. I thought maybe with the time Bruno took off, we would get his complete second half of his career shift like I did all that, let's do something completely unexpected and it doesn't appear to be that way.

01:12:53
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't think we needed to wait for this. I think Bruno can do this in his sleep.

01:12:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bruno and the resources he has could not this out in a weekend? Is this what we were waiting for? I thought with the time they were concocting the whole new Bruno sound sound for the second half of his career. Like, yes, I have been this character sure for fucking fifteen years. It's time to be a heel. I'm turning.

01:13:19
Speaker 1: This is going to be You're either gonna like it or not. I'm gonna make the consumer like this new shit that I'm doing.

01:13:23
Speaker 2: Right, All the pop stars eventually have tried to do it to some degree. Even Lady Got God does this shit like Bruno's never done that. So you're discrediting three stacks for the solo thing. I'm crediting someone who is a legend in their own right. Bruno mar is a pop star legend. You've made the same thing forever. Yeah, you gotta do something that pushes the sound forward, not just makes the sound sound better. Yeah, because that's you're just taking a sound and making it more polished, and you're great at it.

01:13:56
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I would dance at the bar to this. It's great lyrics, cool, melody is great. It's Bruno. Yeah, to be in that combo, you gotta do something. You have to have some vision. Are you saying some vision? Are you saying you want Bruno to kind of take a risk, yes artistically, yes, Okay, I think I feel the same way. I want to hear Bruno do something completely out of pocket, different than we wouldn't expect him to do. Like, that's what I think I want for Bruno. We know he's an amazing musician, talented, great stage presence, great stage. He's a star. Bruno Mars is a fucking star. But I want to see him do something totally unexpected. I want to hear him sound a way we never thought we would hear him sound. I think I'm on that too, Like, I want to hear that spot, his spot is solidified. Yeah, it's it's done. You're you're a legend.

01:14:48
Speaker 2: You don't need to prove anything more to the pop charts of who you are as an entertainer. Your live shows are incredible. You did the fucking super Bowl with Beyonce. You are a legend. What type of music do you like?

01:15:00
Speaker 1: Whichever music you like? Like? What does Bruno listen to on his way to the gym? Whatever music you listen to on you Wait, so Bruno's been on a first date with us, Bruno, what do you like? Whatever you're like? Yeah, yeah, like whatever you like, whatever you like, I can do it. That's what that's what Bruto is. Whatever you want to hear, he can do it. I want to hear Bruno ta take the hats off it, let's get the tempo. Yeah, yeah, we'll do that. Is that what you want? And that's what I'm saying. Like, when you see what we're saying about Bruno, I feel like if he does that, it's gonna be fucking amazing. I feel like that's how talented he could take a risk on his music, on his sound everything, and it's still going to be amazing because I think he pays attention to detail that closely, like he's very maniacal with everything. I think Bruno does what my brother Hop said, he saw DJ Quick do it, he never saw nobody else do. He said, he came in the studio, he sat at the soundboard and he touched every knob. I think Bruno does that. I think Bruno is that meticulous with his.

01:16:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's probably I'm glad you brought that up because that is why I think we give Bruno the ship that we give him on this podcast, because we're not talking about some plant that was just given like, yeah, we know Bruno is a music nerd, extremely talented writer, singer, producer, Like answer, like, we know what Bruno's mind does. I feel like he's selling himself short. Yeah, he's not offering his full genius to us, which is a selfish thing as a fan. But I just think he could push the envelope because he's one of them. To me, it's just like, Okay, let's see what's on that. Let's see what's on the album.

01:16:43
Speaker 1: I don't know, I get it. He might surprise us. He might have something on the album. Is totally different.

01:16:48
Speaker 2: Because I'm like, all right with Beyonce, you won't break my soul off Renaissance, Like the single all right cool, it's very much that same repetitive dyn synth, but all right cool, we can't break It's catchy, I get it. I was hoping that she wasn't going to lean into that, and she didn't it all. She experimented crazy on Renaissance, but she gave us very much the quintessential dance first single. So I'm hoping that Bruno takes that approach. I will give the casual fans the radio billboard this is what you guys, want from Bruno. Here you go on the album. We're not doing that ship though. Yeah, okay, that's what I hope.

01:17:27
Speaker 1: I hope we shall see whatever you lie. Max b French Montana. Yeah, listen, man, it's all right. I like, no, no, I don't want my pause there to come alongst this and Jaer like it. I know what the pause was. I was jamming all my way to try to surprise Demeris. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I was. I was playing all day.

01:17:54
Speaker 2: I was on the Jackie listening to that song specifically trying to surprise the mars.

01:17:58
Speaker 1: I fuck with it, Yeah I do.

01:18:01
Speaker 2: And I'm happy Paul's Max getting the kings out and he's doing it with French on just you know, a quick drop like I'm not mad at that approach.

01:18:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, Max, Max was never really in pocket. Now he's a little further out of pocket. But he just got to get his time in. He just got to get his feedback up under him. But I was the music's choice on that. Yeah. No, the music is good, and that's you know, a very important part to having a good a good project. The music has to be good, and the music is good. I think we got glimpses of you know, old Max the melodies again, He's just just coming home after being away for so long, so things kind of felt a little out of pocket. Uh, you know the melodies wasn't as sharp and certain songs as they could be. Like that, we know Max to deliver. But overall, I think it was a good project. Though I'm not mad at it. I think him and French did a good job.

01:18:50
Speaker 2: It also reminded me too because so much time had passed and French has just become you know, he had what was the song with?

01:18:57
Speaker 1: So we being regionally biased originally bias because we like the French and Max is it's so nostalgic just to New York because nobody outside of New York listens to Max. B Is that the thing that they're saying on the internet. Only New Yorkers like Max. Bet. If that's the case, I'm sorry. I'm from New York City. We want my position doesn't change. Yeah, I'm from New York. French Montana Bronx.

01:19:19
Speaker 2: Legend, but French surpassed so much from like the mac and Cheese days, I forgot how much influence is in French's music from Max. Yeah, well I know, but just so much time passed like.

01:19:35
Speaker 1: Well, no, I actually got actually actually people would say that French kind of took some of Maxis style. That's what I'm saying, you know what I'm saying, like, you know, but that's his boys, so it's not it's not.

01:19:45
Speaker 2: Not I didn't mean it and that type of way, just just you know, two of them before Max went away. But then when you know, French obviously kept going and had hit hit fucking records, number one record.

01:19:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, French left us for a second. French Frinch got away from us for us, started making world music. He got off the block. And I ain't mad at him. He got off the block. He just came back to get Max. Yeah he's yeah, he's taking Max and Saudi Arabia tomorrow one thousand. Yeah, and I ain't mad at it either.

01:20:14
Speaker 2: But yeah, hearing them together, it did it. Just I forgot, you know, fucking damn in twenty years past, I forgot how much a frenchis style does derived from what Max used to do. Hearing them to guess, like, damn, this is French has so much of Max in him, the way he approaches versus like.

01:20:30
Speaker 1: It was cool, and it's just it's good to see. It's good to see this story because a lot.

01:20:35
Speaker 2: Of times when people go to jail, things completely fall apart with the people that they were with when they win in so it's it's good to see this story and get right back and yo, I just married a fucking oil princess, but not were about to.

01:20:50
Speaker 1: Just put out a mixtape. Yeah, I think let's.

01:20:52
Speaker 2: Get right back to that. On that note, welcome home to Feedti Wop. We didn't say a lot because it happened while we were recording. I saw that three hundred welcome them back with open arms. I think that's great, and usually I am very much on the side of labels using artists, especially once they go to jail, not giving a fuck. I do know Rain and everyone over at three hundred really does care about Fetti, and that was a very genuine welcome home. We want to get the ball rolling for you, which I think is honorable because I mean I was there when three hundred was started and when they were using Kevin Lyle's office space where we were at. Once Fetti Wap came in the door, they left us and bought their own office space like Fetti. Fetti really helped launch that of course, along with the Migos and you, Doug and other artists, but Fetti was a big part of Lee or Raina Todd all of them just just getting off the ground with that new company. So I think it was great of them to welcome Fetti back the way that they did, And I hope eats.

01:21:53
Speaker 1: The ground running.

01:21:54
Speaker 2: Like music, it's funny with Max and Fetti. Yeah, the world music hasn't a change for so many people except for those two. Like Fetti sounds like the times now, so I think I think he'll be great. I think this will be one of one of the few instances where someone comes out of jail and.

01:22:14
Speaker 1: Gets gets right right back to it. Yeah, the sound is there, so definitely want to hear what he cook up though. I mean Fetti, like you said, the melody is more prevalent in rap now than probably when you know Fetti started and he was doing it. Max had a big hand in that as well, and like you said, they both home now and that seems to be the popular sound in the genre.

01:22:33
Speaker 2: So tell me tomorrow if you heard a rod Wave and Fetti wap song, it would sound anything different than twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six.

01:22:39
Speaker 1: Definitely the rod Wave and Max B definitely need that for sure that I think that will help me get into rad Wave's music a little more. Yeah, because I you know, I always say I would try to get into rod Wave listen. Honestly, I recognize that he's talented. It's just the music doesn't really connect with me. I don't know if it's whether it's just the content of the music or whatever it is. It yees like it just doesn't really like I don't know where I would listen to that at. But I recognized that rod Wave was extremely talented, and a lot of his music is you know, obviously very heavy on the melody. So him and Max, him and Fetti, that makes that's not an awkward relationship. It sounds like it makes sense. So yeah, that'll probably be something. I don't know. If I think I did see something where I don't know, if Max was was talking a round Wave on the phone or something like that. I think I've seen, I don't know, some video somewhere online the same is rod Wave. Yeah, I don't know, but that will be that would be interesting to see them work together yeah, just a tape together. Yeah, wave, yeah, easy, great music.

01:23:39
Speaker 2: I saw that Ari Lennox and I'm just gonna assume now she's working directly with JD. I know he worked on Age Sex Location as well, But it looks like pe Cox and JD are doing Vacancy.

01:23:53
Speaker 1: Ri Lennox album. This w's come out on January twenty third.

01:23:56
Speaker 2: I like the record Vacancy Under the Moon is Fire, twin Flame is Fire. There records that that Ari has put out in the last few months I think have been great.

01:24:04
Speaker 1: Listen, it's gonna be as hard for an R and B artist to be in the studio with JD and and and b Cox and not create some dope ship. Yeah. So I'm pretty sure this whatever they cooked up, it's gonna be it's gonna be five.

01:24:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I mean even Pressure that I know JD did, which was as far as last which was also like it was like the old school way of working a record like Pressure, ended up doing great on radio charts three four months into it even being one, I think on R and B charts it eventually did okay. But I'm excited for the Ari project, first one without Dreamville, So you know, I'm curious just to see what her sound is now that she's I don't want to say free because that's a bad way of putting it, because I don't think like dream Violle, you know, suppressed her or anything like that.

01:24:53
Speaker 1: I just don't think it worked out. I think those were her exact words. Did she say that? I felt like she went on a rant and wasn't happy about out. Okay, over there they prophray.

01:25:04
Speaker 2: She's still with Interscope obviously, but you know, I'm curious, would just you know Ari in the kitchen?

01:25:08
Speaker 1: What what that looks like she would? Is she with JD? Are they man? Are they working? I'm not sure. I can't speak to me.

01:25:15
Speaker 2: It looks like what's going on with Division and everything, But I know Ari is still signed to Interscope, but from what it looks like optics outside looking in, she's just locked in with JD and and b Cox for this project.

01:25:28
Speaker 1: That feels like the same Division route. It feels like it feels like I'm not mad at it. It feels like it though not mad at it. Yeah, when do we think we'll get a Division project? They should be dropping something. They put a record out, didn't put a record out yet, so they should be. It should be happening soon. I would say first quarter. I feel like they'd be a little bit more active. If it's first quarter, I feel like it would be first quarter. Definitely want to hear they new shit though. Shout out to the division. I know. I just saw him in I think it was South Africa over the New Year's Oh, everybody's South is in Africa, I know.

01:25:57
Speaker 2: But even specifically the stage that they were doing at that festival and the crowd, I was like, God, they should just move to South Africa. They was saying every word. Yeah, Daniel shut that ship down. I feel like we now we can bring back a Mal's Baddies segment. Is that I didn't see the fight.

01:26:16
Speaker 1: I kind of fell off the batty train a little bit. Man. I've been you know what I mean, it's other shit going on. All this shit I'm watching. I ain't really been locked in with the batties. What's going They fighting? Okay, this is regular batties shit. They fight. Can't be the Batties without fights. Oh yeah, that's what he That's what he's part of the audition. You gotta I gotta know if you could fight wait, how else would they do the audition? Yeah, like you thought they were gonna sing like well taken to the audition. They gotta fight.

01:26:36
Speaker 2: I thought it was a royal rumber like whoever is left is in the cast.

01:26:41
Speaker 1: Versus persuasion versus pressure. I don't know who any of these ladies are. Couldn't tell you, but shout out to persuasion and pressure. Get your ship off. So what season is this now? I'm not sure they just did Baddies America. I think they just did Baddies America to come up with Batties Africa. I'm not sure what audition this is for though.

01:27:04
Speaker 2: Well, I saw Natalie Nunn was doing like press front shit she was with cam so I guess I haven't been keeping up.

01:27:11
Speaker 1: I was about to cancel my zeus, but I mean if they back at it. I was going through my statements, I was like, why am I still paying this zu shit? Yeah nah, it's a new season coming, you get canceled it.

01:27:22
Speaker 2: That no, because once they were scrapping in front of the band in Africa, of all the kids, I was like, this is not this was funny before twelve ninety nine.

01:27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you guys are taking a little too far from me. You can't fight at the charity event like with the kids. It's fucking crazy. Yeah, but I kind of fell off the batty train and I got to get back on and she was going on with the ladies though. Okay.

01:27:44
Speaker 2: Also before we get out of here, Ben Affleck, did you said all the smoke?

01:27:49
Speaker 1: Did this right? Yes? This is all the smoke did?

01:27:51
Speaker 2: Hood Classic Movies? Where where Ben got to pick his favorites? I mean I just clicked it just because I was curious what Ben new Man. I know, he's I know, he's a cinema Ben new the Hood.

01:28:05
Speaker 1: He knew the Hood movies, though I was. I was very surprised.

01:28:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, this this was kind of funny to watch, to be quite honest. So out the Gate they start with Friday versus soul Plane.

01:28:16
Speaker 1: Where where are you picking? There?

01:28:17
Speaker 2: More before we get to the final reveal where Ben decides what's better.

01:28:22
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going Friday. Yeah, Friday, I don't even think it's close and funny. So Plane is a great movie, but Friday Friday verse Rush Hour.

01:28:30
Speaker 2: So how this works is whatever when you pick staves and Ben went with Friday, So you know, the culture can rest.

01:28:37
Speaker 1: Ben af Flack has decided what the better.

01:28:40
Speaker 2: Yes the class Ben Bens, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

01:28:44
Speaker 1: Let Yes, Batman has stamped the hood classes Friday versus Rush Hour, Oh Ship both Chris Tucker legendary movies, classic movies. Do I go Ice Cube over Jackie Chan? Damn? For me? This one is very this is tough. It's very very, this is tough. This is Friday or Rush Out. I'm gonna go Friday, though. I think I think I watched Friday more than I watched Rush Hour. I'm going Friday as well.

01:29:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have Rush Hours tough just because you get like the Kung Fu action ship in it as well.

01:29:22
Speaker 1: It's the production, it's a bigger movie, of course.

01:29:25
Speaker 2: But he was one of my favorite Chris Tucker lines ever again Kidna got Chelsea Clinton.

01:29:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if Chris Tucker went solo, if Chris Tucker had some solo church, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, but I'm going Friday me personally, Friday with rush all. Ben went with Rush Hour Rush I get it, though, I get it if you if you're talking about because is this Ben's personal or is he just saying is he just saying what he feels like is just a bigger, better movie. I think just because I think it's what he prefers. The fucking Rush Hours with Michael bay I think did that. I don't forgot the director. Did Michael Bay do rush Who did Russia? It wasn't him? Know who's the guy that did Ah was Michael Bayt. Bret Radner did a lot of crazy music. He did, like whole music. Yeah, yeah, so he picked he picked us rush Hour, Okay, then it went to rush Hour verse Coming to America. All right, here's my thing.

01:30:21
Speaker 2: Rush Hour and Coming to America hood classics or are they just like classic movies?

01:30:26
Speaker 1: I feel like Coming to America is a hood classic. I feel like that's a hood class Rush Hour is it's just a classic. I think that Coming to America is more. I don't think Coming to America is like, is just a worldwide movie. No, I don't think it's a worldwide It's Eddie Murphy. Yeah, but I'm just saying I feel like it's still like a very I really like cop Okay, I feel like Beverly Hill Cop Is he was.

01:30:48
Speaker 2: Bigger at that time. Yeah, Coming to America's that wasn't That was probably his first.

01:30:52
Speaker 1: Coming to America was after Beverly Hills. Was Yeah, that was after Beverly Hills. I just don't think Coming to America is like a hood movie. I think it's a hook classic. It's a hood classic.

01:31:01
Speaker 2: Bro, all right, Well, then to me coming to America like wins all of these.

01:31:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, coming to America, definitely. I'm picking up a rushout Will coming to America. Same.

01:31:12
Speaker 2: I just don't consider it really like a hood class. It's a classic movie in my opinion.

01:31:16
Speaker 1: Okay, Ben Ben Wim would coming to America. I mean, I feel like that's the only right answer in this entire thing.

01:31:22
Speaker 2: The next one is coming to America over Boys in the Hood, Oh shit, very weird.

01:31:27
Speaker 1: Shit is a hood class. Coming to America is a hood class. If I'm picking out of the two of these, I'm it's coming to America. I'm gonna go far. I love Boys in the Hood. It's coming to America. But it's two different types of movies to at the same time. It's like such two different vibes, like I just one is a comedy. One is like, you know, touching on real shit that's going on. That was a lot of funny. It was a lot of hilarious, even when they weren't trying to be funny. Yelling Ricky was kind of funny I'm gonna go come into America saying I'm gonna go come into America. But Ben's answer on this, Pau's real quick, Josh.

01:32:08
Speaker 2: He chose coming to America because he feels menace to society is a better version of the same message as boys in the Hood. And I was like, I see what he's saying, because that would be tougher for me coming to America versus men of society.

01:32:24
Speaker 1: That's a tough debate. Yeah, Menace is probably Yeah, Menace is a hood classic that shouldn't be a hood classic, that should just be a classic. All right. Then when coming to America versus Juice Oh man, I watched I watched Juice More. Yeah, I watched Juice More, But coming to America's is probably at America.

01:32:45
Speaker 2: Coming to America versus Paytentful Again. I watched Peytonful. I watch Coming to America.

01:32:49
Speaker 1: Is a better movie. Coming to America is definitely a better a better movie, and Peytonful is a hood classic. Coming to America isn't Belly. You know how I feel about Belly coming to America. I might go with Belly on this one. Same neighborhoo. Fuck no, not overcoming to America.

01:33:02
Speaker 2: It's not fair. Why couldn't they have done the Hood Classics versus the Hood Classic? Why couldn't we do Juice and Belly that feel like coming to American Juice versus Belly Juice Juice?

01:33:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, obviously, Hell yeah.

01:33:13
Speaker 2: This is a little bit more fair because I think neither of these are Hood classics coming to America versus Training Day. Completely different movies, but it's who totally different movies. You think Training Day is a Hood classic?

01:33:24
Speaker 1: Nah, I'm not gonna say Hood classic, but I mean shit, it was shot in the Hood. It was classic for that coming to America A train Damn two of my favorite movies. I'm gonna go pooh shit, Training Day.

01:33:38
Speaker 2: I'm going Training Day and me and Peter were talking off Mike. Training Day came out in one. I would say Training Day is a top five movie of the last twenty five years.

01:33:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. But did Denzel go solo? Though? Actually, does he have any solo? If we're on the Brunos side. This was the first time Denzel ever played a villain yeah. He was always that we were rooting for, and this was when he showed his range of like origin, You're gonna hate me by the end of this fucking yeah, yeah, yeah. He chose coming to America. He chose coming to America with Training Day. Training Day is ship twenty first century, one of the greats. I never thought Ben Affleck fucked was coming to I would have never thought that Ben Affleck fuck wud coming to America like that. Training Day is one of the greatest movies ever for sure. Yeah.

01:34:25
Speaker 2: Coming to America versus Menace to Society again, very weird matchup.

01:34:30
Speaker 1: Very weird. I'm gonna come into America. I'm just like I'm he picked minutes, yo, Ben, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't know Ben. I didn't know he was I had no idea. I learned so much about being Ben Affleck in the last two minutes.

01:34:44
Speaker 2: All right, Well, if we want to do a fake deep dive, Clearly, all the movies, for the most part, in the beginning of Ben's career and throughout his career are very much region focused.

01:34:53
Speaker 1: He is a regional bias. He is to the Greater New England, but.

01:34:57
Speaker 2: Because he's from there, he makes great Moen. He understands that that the culture culture. I'm sure he would have a good appreciation for somebody that would do a regional movie that that really shows exactly what this place is about, where Menace is. If you didn't know about what was happening in la it told you exactly what was happening in l A at that time, so I could see Ben I mean Goodwill Hunting is more of the snobby New England mental health version of Mena Society without the projects if you really get into it, like you know, O Dog and do you like apples? Are pretty much yo, y'all want these hamburgers? Do you like apples? Tell me the difference? That was funny to me. Mena Society verse New Jack City tough.

01:35:41
Speaker 1: Tough. I'm going Menace, very tough. Yeah, I gotta go Menace over that love New.

01:35:47
Speaker 2: Jack's funny Newjack versus a lot of the ones before Mena Society Don't be a Menace, I mean meta Society. But yes, you know it's no in the same movie.

01:36:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, but yeah, no, we gotta go minus Don't be a minuised as a classic.

01:36:05
Speaker 2: Though Menace verse eight Mile I'm going Menace, but eight miles still needs its flowers Man eight miles A really really really yeah.

01:36:15
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go eight mile though, really yeah, really yeah. I think we'll got legendary scenes versus legendary scenes. I mean, yeah, you're going eight mile. Yeah, I think we'll go eight mile. Eight mile versus Poetic Justice, damn, another classic. This is some tough. This is not as easy to answer because it's a it's a better movie versus what movie you watch more? Because I watch Poetic Justice way more than I watch eight Mile. But it's Poetic Justice a better movie than eight Mile. It is, you know what I'm saying. You think Poetic Justice is a better movie, I don't know.

01:36:54
Speaker 2: Eight It's also not fair because kind of back to our rush hour conversation versus Friday, like eight Mile was a major movie budget production, like Poetic Justice is the quintessential hood classic movie. Working with a budget that you had and created a fucking classic with Janet Jackson and Tupac. Voting against Janet and Tupac would make my stomach hurt.

01:37:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, but does pok have any solo see if Janet didn't go solo, you know what I mean, would she either he's his first solo underground of poetic justice. I understand if Janet didn't leave the family, would she even be cast in a poetic justice? If she was just running up onto her brothers, would she have gotten casted? You know that's true. Uh, I'm gonna have to go poetic justice during this one, and ironically am decided not to be solo at this time and join D twelve exactly see what if he never went solo? I'm going poetic justice. But a mile like I hate to not give eight Mile the credit that they fucking deserves. A great movie. Been with eight Mile? Eight mile? Hustle and Flow. I'm gonna Hustle and Flow. I know that's flat, yo. Hustle and Flow is so fucking underrated. Hustle and Flow is the big boy of this entire conversation. A hustling flow plot makes zero sense. Great boy, is it a fucking great movie? Great movie? Great. I gotta go eight Mile though. Great. Hustle Flow is a great movie though, But I'll go eight mile. Personally, eight Mile. They both equally shortened the time of what it takes to make it as a rapper. Yeah, it's not that easy. I promise you.

01:38:35
Speaker 2: He hadn't wrapped in like thirty years. He ran in some guy who went to middle school with like, yo, I think I'm a rap again.

01:38:40
Speaker 1: Here's three classics. Here you go, eight Mile versus American Gangster, American gangster, American gangster again. Not a Hood classic. No, it's not a classic, Russell Crow and Denzel, Yeah, that's not a Hood classic. Yeah, American gangster for sure. Ooh, American gangster. A Dead Presidents, Damn Dead Presidence. I'm going Dead Presidents. Yeah, I'm going Dead Presidents.

01:39:05
Speaker 2: Dead Presidents. Dead Presidents does fall Underhood classic, and it shouldn't. It should be revered the way American Gangster is to the public.

01:39:13
Speaker 1: Dead President.

01:39:14
Speaker 2: You have everything from the action scenes to the war to what it was like for Vietnam vets to come back to the city.

01:39:20
Speaker 1: Like then you get into bank robberies.

01:39:23
Speaker 2: It covers so many different plots and succeeds where most movies try to do a bunch of plots and then fall short because you're trying to do too much. They did too much and succeeded through the whole thing. How you have the high school experience Vietnam drug addiction, coming back to the Bronx robbery, then dealing with the court system and how they treated the vets that they ignored.

01:39:44
Speaker 1: How do you cover all of that in a masterful way? And not only that, you got one of probably the most iconic Hood costumes during Halloween out of just for sure this movie, Like I was avetted by the white Face. But I don't know anybody that didn't do that as at Halloween at one point. So I'm going dead President over American Gangster personally, Ben took American gangst Okay, blood and blood. I wouldn't even think they would know about this blood and blood you know you've never seen blood in Yeah, I'm going to Blood and blood Out. Oh shit, classic, that's like, that's like Hood, Mexican Classic. That's Mexican classic. Right, I'm going to American Gangster. But damn, Blood and Blood Out is it's a really good movie though, But yeah, American Gangster with Blood and Blood Out? For sure? Did they live? Did they leave any out? Wait? I'm sure of course they did. But out of those I'm curious how they even landed on them, some of those movies. But they covered, they covered most of the hood classics, though, the ones that we talk about, they covered most of them. That was a I wasn't expecting to see blood and that was a curveball at the end. Blood and blood out. I don't I don't know many people that have seen that movie. American Me is the Mexican hood movie. Yeah that, you know, everybody kind of goes blood and blood out. I was hophing colors would have been there. Colors. I know you're big on Freedom Writers. One of your famis you bring that one up a lot, yo. That's fucking funny. Freedom Writer. What have you ever heard me talk about that?

01:41:26
Speaker 2: Remember when she taught those inner city youth that poetry is cool?

01:41:31
Speaker 1: If Tupac doesn't. Freedom was the original Freedom Writers where she gets the leather jacket from the Mexican kid. It's the same plot as Freedom Writer. It was the first one. What movie was that? I can see the white woman's face right now? Is that Michelle Peiffer, right? Yeah? It was just thee It was offensive that they just that's what gangs? Yeah, coolie. Oh that's the songs from right. What was the name of that movie?

01:41:55
Speaker 2: Because it was like when Freedom Riders trailer came on TV. I was like, all right, so there's just making the.

01:42:00
Speaker 1: Same Dangerous Minds.

01:42:02
Speaker 2: Yes, Wow, Dangerous Minds is offensive, It's not even remotely closed. Freedom Writers is almost like the Don't Drink Juice in South Central, like parody of.

01:42:11
Speaker 1: It, but they were trying to be serious. Yeah, that movie is fucking classic. Though Dangerous Minds Danish mind is cool. I'm saying Freedom, Freedom Writers. That's hilarious. Oh man, all right, Well hopefully man, were you know, not as hated as we was last week? Apologies again for the false start. You know what I mean. No, I just know that people are not watching the actual clip. Yeah, most people are.

01:42:37
Speaker 2: Even though it was a pretty mixed bag, like it wasn't just this take is insane. There was a lot of people that were agreeing with what you were. I think I think most people was agreeing with me from what I saw. Again, I'm just just what I don't know what else bubble. Yeah, in my world, you.

01:42:51
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying. But I think most people agreeing with me. I've had some interesting conversations about it, but all love.

01:42:57
Speaker 2: A lot of my uh, a lot of my white liberal friends were not happy with your backfield take.

01:43:03
Speaker 1: Either.

01:43:03
Speaker 2: I got a earful from the Williamsburg libs about being more offended by Beyonce going out for the Kamala thing than Nicki and the Charlie Kirk's wife.

01:43:18
Speaker 1: I didn't say nothing about wife, but yeah, we're talking. When Nicki went up and did the turning point us a ship and you said you you were more upset that Beyonce went and did the speech for Kamala. Oh yeah, yeah, I stand on that for sure. The ch T crowd was not not happy with me. I mean, you know that is part of the problem to me, right, I'm part of the problem. I got it. Yeah, surprise albums this week. Listen, listen peage, don't get me in why you know what I'm saying. I don't know. I'm just saying I don't know. Nah, I haven't. Finally he's saying he doesn't know. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not I don't. I don't know. No. I don't have any any updates on anything that's supposed to be dropping. But I do know. Oh that you know, I think we get all three of those guys this year old album for sure.

01:44:05
Speaker 2: Do you think the person that gave you that information maybe was purposely given wrong information.

01:44:12
Speaker 1: No, okay, nah, he don't know because they do that too. Oh yeah, I mean but not for me though that That wasn't it fair enough? I think it was really a thing, a real thing.

Speaker 1: And make her laugh. We'd like to hear some of those so we can send them over to her. You know what's fucked up?

01:44:46
Speaker 2: I consider Damrius, one of my best friends and a pod listener hit me and asked for her T shirt and hoodie size because they were trying to put like a pack together for her. I didn't know what to say because I didn't want to be offensive, but and I didn't want to be Yeah, I replied, you think you think she could fit my hoodie?

01:45:06
Speaker 1: I give you my size because I don't. I don't what do you say with a woman's size? Well, you guessed her weight down to the ounce, so maybe they should have asked you instead of me. I went with medium. That's cool, that's that's cool because sometimes the oversize. Yeah, yeah, to give a little room in a hoodie like the women preferred baggy hood I assume that's fine. I think that's that's safe. But then I wasn't sure because maybe she would want a large, and then I don't know, the large might have been too you're swimming in it too much at that point, that's just down. Yeah, I get it all.

01:45:39
Speaker 2: Right, Well, yeah, please send over your voicemails to to Demerius and also, uh, Mary J. Blige may get me to Vegas. The residency is like three days, but I think it's around my birthday.

01:45:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

01:45:57
Speaker 2: And I'd prefer the AUNTI crowd in Vegas over you know, Brooklyn No to the usher coked out white crowd because it got so popular, Like I like that. This is just like a two week gap, So you just have to be a fan. You want to make it, you're not. This isn't just be part of the Vegas experience, like you're going for this?

01:46:16

01:46:32
Speaker 1: Oh you know, all of that is, all of that is. She's not doing this unless you know absolutely this is this is this is for her, This is hers, absolutely one. All right, Well with to y'all. Soon be safe, be blessed on that nigga. He's just ginger peace
