    Yeah, I'm in a real silly mood. Don't

  • 0:04

    pay me no more. I had a rough morning.

  • 0:06

    Hold on, let me hit the drop.

  • 0:08

    The whole world saw that.

  • 0:09

    I didn't think it was that I didn't

  • 0:11

    think it would be such a popular clip uh

  • 0:14

    the dudes.

  • 0:16

    No wor.

  • 0:20

    Yo, now I think about it.

  • 0:22

    The Infamous is one of my favorite,

  • 0:24

    maybe my favorite rap album ever. And

  • 0:26

    Havoc gave us the same drum pattern on

  • 0:28

    every record. Sounds so damn.

  • 0:31

    All right. So now this podcast has

  • 0:33

    existed for three years and I know two

  • 0:35

    of the members favorite hip-hop album of

  • 0:37

    all time.

  • 0:37

    I've said it on this podcast.

  • 0:38

    I know. But the infamous for you I know

  • 0:40

    but now I'm remembering the infamous for

  • 0:41

    you. Doggy style for parks mall. What's

  • 0:43

    yours?

  • 0:44

    Favorite rap album.

  • 0:45

    Yeah. Ever made? All time.

  • 0:48

    Wait, is it favorite or best?

  • 0:50

    That's a good question cuz doggy style

  • 0:51

    is the best. I don't know if it's my

  • 0:52

    favorite.

  • 0:53

    Infamous is not the best. It's my

  • 0:54

    favorite.

  • 0:55

    Parks thinks Doggy Style is the best.

  • 0:57

    He has a good argument. You're saying

  • 0:58

    Infamous is your favorite?

  • 0:59

    Favorite, not the best.

  • 1:00

    All right, forget it. Forget it. Never

  • 1:01

    mind.

  • 1:01

    My favorite is probably like 36 Shavers

  • 1:03

    or Infamous. Probably one of them two.

  • 1:06

    I'm not mad at Park saying that Doggy

  • 1:09

    Style is the best

  • 1:10

    rap album. That's Yeah, I'm not mad. I

  • 1:12

    can't really I would I would I would

  • 1:14

    probably go Chronic.

  • 1:16

    That's me. But

  • 1:16

    I was always more of a doggy style than

  • 1:19

    Chronic.

  • 1:19

    I'm think more. I have to think more.

  • 1:21

    Yeah I

  • 1:23

    uh Lowend theory.

  • 1:24

    It's up there. It's up there. Just

  • 1:27

    trying to think that has everything.

  • 1:28

    I think we could do a list of albums

  • 1:30

    that should probably even be in that

  • 1:32

    argument

  • 1:33

    of best album

  • 1:34

    ever.

  • 1:35

    Best hip-hop album ever.

  • 1:36

    Yeah. Chronic doggy style.

  • 1:38

    You know the ones.

  • 1:39

    Please don't flood our mentions tomorrow

  • 1:40

    with telling us how

  • 1:41

    how we forgot one. This is not a plan.

  • 4:32

    I'm in?"

  • 4:32

    Because I didn't think in the tough.

  • 4:33

    Well, I thought that if you were going

  • 4:35

    to a grisel,

  • 4:36

    I would hit the Mixie Boys.

  • 4:37

    You would at least hit me and say, "Yo,

  • 4:39

    you was going

  • 4:40

    or let me know you were going." But you

  • 4:42

    hit me. You was already like lamped in

  • 4:43

    there like,

  • 4:44

    "Yeah, I'm in my element. I'm in the

  • 4:45

    element."

    Mini Riot Squad is nice.

  • 5:16

    Yeah. And I and I don't want to mess up

  • 5:18

    his name, but I I believe Wes was saying

  • 5:20

    Lord something. Lord,

  • 5:22

    I'm sorry if I'm tall guy, right?

  • 5:24

    No, that was the uh the Spanish dude.

  • 5:27

    Yeah,

  • 5:27

    he was spitting. But the tall dude was

  • 5:29

    nice.

  • 5:29

    Yo, the tall dude that was downstairs.

  • 5:31

    And I hate that we don't know their

  • 5:32

    names, but forgive us, man.

  • 5:33

    I thought he was the shooter the whole

  • 5:34

    time. I look up, this [ __ ] is

  • 5:36

    spitting the illst 16 ever.

  • 5:38

    On stage. I was like, "Wait, oh, you

  • 5:40

  • 5:41

    No, that was the shooter still.

  • 5:43

    Yeah, he's still a shooter.

  • 5:44

    I think he mentioned that in his bar.

  • 5:46

    Yeah, he told you. Yo, I don't rap.

  • 5:48

    I I'm the shooter.

  • 5:49

    I know. I think Ray wrote your mother

  • 5:51

    say,

  • 5:53

    "Don't get your mother shot."

  • 5:54

    I was like, "Well, listen. If there's

  • 5:55

    anybody I don't want to get shot, it's

  • 5:57

    my mom."

  • 5:57

    I love my mom.

  • 5:57

    Yeah, I love my mom.

  • 5:59

    But, you know, last night last night

  • 6:01

    side note before when we're speaking of

  • 6:02

    mothers, Miss Fay definitely pressed me

  • 6:04

    via text and told me, "Yo, Joe ain't Joe

  • 6:07

    ain't no middle child."

  • 6:08

    Yeah, she pressed me.

  • 6:10

    I was like, "My bad, Miss Fay."

  • 6:12

    Yeah, she pressed me, too. I was like,

  • 6:13

    you know, I was like, I started to tell

  • 6:15

    Joe to call you. She said, "You should

  • 6:16

    have."

  • 6:17

    She she pressed me and I argued with her

  • 6:20

    about you being the middle child.

  • 6:21

    I said, "Well, technically kind of like

  • 6:23

    I'm the youngest uh of your kids and I'm

  • 6:25

    the oldest of my dad kids."

  • 6:27

    Average.

  • 6:28

    And she said, "That's not a middle

  • 6:29

    child."

  • 6:31

    Okay. She has a point, but if we're

  • 6:33

    fine, you win.

  • 6:34

    Yeah. You can't argue with my

  • 6:36

    I abandoned that one.

  • 6:37

    But anyways, yes, last night. Go ahead.

  • 6:38

    Last night, a few quick thoughts. Last

  • 6:41

    night, I'm late to the party. Don't

  • 6:43

    judge me, please. Did I introduce

  • 6:44

    podcast?

  • 6:44

    Yes, you did.

  • 6:45

    All right, great. A few quick thoughts.

  • 6:46

    Um,

  • 6:48

    yeah, about some of them opening dudes.

  • 6:50

    Yeah, this sauce thing, right? I'm old

  • 6:52

    and trash. So, sometimes I don't get it.

  • 6:56

    I figured out why. You got to see sauce.

  • 7:00

    Very different from lyricism, which you

  • 7:02

    have to hear.

  • 7:03

    Yeah,

  • 7:03

    sauce you can't really hear. You could,

  • 7:07

    but [ __ ] are fake that. You have to

  • 7:08

    see it. Some of them opener [ __ ] that

  • 7:11

    didn't really rap. They was just street

  • 7:12

    [ __ ]

  • 7:13

    Yeah,

  • 7:13

    they had a lot of sauce. They was

  • 7:16

    saucing all over that [ __ ]

  • 7:18

    I was I was telling Wes I like that um

  • 7:20

    that Ray Rose kid a lot. I like the

  • 7:21

    stage.

  • 7:21

    I think he's talking about the same

  • 7:22

    person I'm talking about homeboy. The

  • 7:24

    short [ __ ]

  • 7:24

    short brownkin kid.

  • 7:25

    I like this man.

  • 7:26

    Yeah,

  • 7:27

    man. The homeboy was chopping up. We got

  • 7:29

    a podcast. We talking

  • 7:32

    shout out to Far Rock cuz they

  • 7:34

    represented yesterday.

  • 7:34

    They were It was a good show, man. Super

  • 7:37

    proud of Benny. Tanner Talk 3 sounds

  • 7:39

    amazing live.

  • 7:40

    That might be the most packed I ever

  • 7:41

    saw.

  • 7:41

    So I was gonna say that was a moment.

  • 7:43

    Yeah, I know we kind of joking around.

  • 7:45

    That was a moment for New York.

  • 7:46

    Yeah, it was.

  • 7:46

    I haven't seen I've been going to so

  • 7:48

    since I was like 14, right?

  • 7:50

    I've never seen so and that's like real

  • 7:52

    grimy hip-hop.

  • 7:53

    Yeah.

  • 7:53

    Benny is making it hard for the guys who

  • 7:56

    do that.

  • 7:57

    Yeah.

  • 7:58

    The whole team.

  • 7:58

    That's what I'll say.

  • 7:59

    Yeah.

  • 8:00

    Yeah. All of them.

  • 8:01

    Yeah.

  • 8:01

    But to have like Benny's like Banks,

  • 8:04

    right?

  • 8:05

    Yeah. That's a good comparison. That's

  • 8:06

    That's how I look at it. Like it's the

  • 8:08

    squad

  • 8:09

    and then it's Benny.

  • 8:11

    Like

  • 8:11

    [ __ ] they said it.

  • 8:13

    They said it last night stage.

  • 8:15

    Yeah.

  • 8:16

    But I feel like this the best rap in the

  • 8:17

    universe. That's what they said.

  • 8:18

  • 8:43

    need that. You need sometimes you need

  • 8:44

    cigarette.

  • 9:34

    Yes.

  • 9:35

    Wait, hold on Mo. You didn't see his

  • 9:36

    press release in the shade room comments

  • 9:38

    cuz he put a press release out.

  • 9:39

    Yo, bro [ __ ] clocking me.

  • 9:42

    You put a press release out. I did not

  • 9:45

    press

  • 9:45

    cuz they don't [ __ ] with my baby no

  • 9:46

    more. So I got to talk.

  • 9:48

    What did you say?

  • 9:50

    Don't touch me.

  • 9:51

    What did you say?

  • 9:53

    A leave my baby alone. God damn it.

  • 9:55

    Anyway, what happened?

  • 9:56

    What happened? Why? What was the

  • 9:57

    altercation about?

  • 9:59

    Uh, well, it depends who you ask.

  • 10:01

    I'm asking the guy involved in

  • 10:03

    altercation.

  • 10:04

    Uh, it was about it was about it was a

  • 10:07

    lot of racial dynamics

  • 10:10

    going on there. I mean, that's how I

  • 10:12

    felt. So, I mean,

  • 10:13

    but we could joke about it because it

  • 10:14

    was really about a cigarette, but I

  • 10:16

    mean, if I obsess over it like I do on

  • 10:18

    my head, it wasn't really about a

  • 10:19

    cigarette.

  • 10:19

    So, you was smoking in the hospital?

  • 10:21

    No. Um,

  • 10:22

    you can't smoke even like outside the

  • 10:23

    hospital.

  • 10:24

    Let's not start there. Let's Let's make

  • 10:26

    But let's not start there. We got a lot.

  • 10:27

    So, let's let's let's let's start

  • 10:29

    somewhere.

  • 10:29

    Crust Street.

  • 10:30

    I I would like to talk about I I'll walk

  • 10:32

    you through my story. Um and it's a

  • 10:34

    little I'll try to not make it so long,

  • 10:36

    but this my story is about how quick

  • 10:39

    life can turn.

  • 10:41

    Okay?

  • 10:42

    It's about how how quickly like in a

  • 10:45

    millisecond everything can just go

  • 10:47

    different and you have to be grateful at

  • 10:48

    all times, right? And you have to

  • 10:50

    sometimes be reminded of this just

  • 10:53

    throughout your journey. Yesterday,

  • 10:56

    uh, I told y'all a while back I went to

  • 10:58

    go see a house that I can't afford.

  • 11:01

    Sounds fun.

  • 11:02

    One day on this podcast, I would like to

  • 11:04

    talk to y'all about purchasing houses

  • 11:06

    because I feel like a lot of our

  • 11:07

    audience

  • 11:08

    is probably venturing into that same

  • 11:10

    thing.

  • 11:10

    Yeah,

  • 11:11

    but that's not right to say.

  • 11:12

    I hope so.

  • 11:13

    Right. Yeah, you are. I mean, you are.

  • 11:15

    We are. We are. So, we should talk about

  • 11:17

    it right?

  • 11:17

    I never really talked to Ian Savon. I

  • 11:19

    have spoken to you about that, Savon.

  • 11:21

    Why don't we TALK TO SEE, WE should talk

  • 11:22

    about that. Listen,

  • 11:24

    first I just want to make this clear.

  • 11:25

    I'm not going to Savon's house.

  • 11:30

    Wow.

  • 11:31

    Savon's house. Your house woman will be

  • 11:33

    empty.

  • 11:33

    I kind of want you to do your job from

  • 11:35

    like outside now, but you here now. So,

  • 11:38

    matter of fact, go out this window and

  • 11:39

    just yell.

  • 11:40

    Always look at me in my face, my [ __ ]

  • 11:43

    I'm [ __ ] with you, Savvon. Um,

  • 11:45

    what was I just saying?

  • 11:46

    Uh,

  • 11:47

    oh, about buying houses, but we'll get

  • 11:48

    to that at some point. So, I told you I

  • 11:50

    went to go look at a house that I had no

  • 11:51

    business looking at. I'll speed the

  • 11:52

    story up a little bit. So, the house was

  • 11:53

    so amazing that I, of course, I came

  • 11:55

    back with my mom. I came back with my

  • 11:57

    mom, took my fiances, you know, came

  • 11:59

    back the kid, nanny, let's do it. All

  • 12:01

    go. Let's look again, right? So,

  • 12:03

    you brought the nanny.

  • 12:04

    Yeah.

  • 12:05

    Okay.

  • 12:06

    Was that like a serious business?

  • 12:08

    Weird flex, but okay.

  • 12:09

    Yeah.

  • 12:09

    Bring the nanny to a place you can't

  • 12:11

    afford. Yeah, that's a flex.

  • 12:13

    Well, if you bring the nanny, they might

  • 12:14

    think you can afford it.

  • 12:17

    Could backfire.

  • 12:18

    Your logic is crazy.

  • 12:19

    Wait, you want to look like the [ __ ]

  • 12:20

    who can't afford it? No,

  • 12:22

    bring the nanny is like crazy.

  • 12:23

    Come on, nanny. Bring the kid. Let's

  • 12:25

    make him smile.

  • 12:28

    You can't have the nanny and then say,

  • 12:29

    "Yo, give me a deal."

  • 12:31

    Or the [ __ ]

  • 12:33

    let no fire come down.

  • 12:34

    Well, first of all, my nanny look like

  • 12:36

    she be my cousin. So, let's be clear.

  • 12:38

    Okay. Um, but the damn [ __ ] memory.

  • 12:41

    Where's that hand in the [ __ ] door?

  • 12:41

    All right. So, we went to see a house.

  • 12:43

    Uh,

  • 12:44

    my my mom didn't feel well in the house.

  • 12:45

    So, as soon as we left that house, I

  • 12:47

    rushed to the hospital.

  • 12:48

    And that's what I'm just talking about.

  • 12:49

    and how fast things could change in what

  • 12:52

    was supposed to be a moment and where

  • 12:53

    you go with your mom and do that type of

  • 12:55

    you know that all

  • 12:57

    that didn't happen at all. So we rushed

  • 12:59

    I rushed my mom rushed my mom to the

  • 13:02

    hospital. So this morning I went to go

  • 13:03

    see my mom in the hospital.

  • 13:04

    She all right.

  • 13:05

    Yeah. How's how's she doing?

  • 13:06

    She is all right. And if she wasn't all

  • 13:08

    right, I wouldn't say it on this

  • 13:08

    podcast.

  • 13:09

    Um I think y'all would know she she

  • 13:11

    wasn't all right. Y'all would see me.

  • 13:13

    That's true.

  • 13:13

    Y'all y'all would know me. It would be

  • 13:15

    dark.

  • 13:15

    Yeah. Um so mom is all right. So I went

  • 13:18

    there, went in the morning, had my talk

  • 13:20

    with my mom, right? I leave, come

  • 13:22

    downstairs. Soon as I step outside of

  • 13:23

    the hospital, I light my cigarette.

  • 13:25

    Okay.

  • 13:25

    As a smoker would,

  • 13:26

    right?

  • 13:27

    Um but homeboy must have been watching

  • 13:29

    me. Know what I mean? Cuz as soon as I

  • 13:31

    took three steps, he was right next to

  • 13:34

    me

  • 13:35

    and he said, "Pardon me, you can't smoke

  • 13:38

    right here." But like mad aggressive,

  • 13:40

    but I I'm late to the party, so I didn't

  • 13:43

    realize that he said it aggressive.

  • 13:44

    So I don't care. All right. Well, where

  • 13:46

    can you smoke? Like I'm just trying to

  • 13:47

    smoke on the street off the campus.

  • 13:52

    All right. Like I'm gonna go that way.

  • 13:53

    So I start walking that way with my

  • 13:55

    cigarettes.

  • 13:55

    And well, first of all, what's the

  • 13:56

    campus at the hospital?

  • 13:59

    You know, when they work there, you want

  • 14:00

    to use the work terminology, [ __ ] This

  • 14:03

    the ground still. We at the hospital.

  • 14:05

    They say campus.

  • 14:07

    So as I'm walking to go to the car to

  • 14:10

    smoke to the street to where he says you

  • 14:11

    could smoke, he's following me. But I

  • 14:13

    don't know that he's following me.

  • 14:15

    Mhm. until maybe like like I'm walking

  • 14:18

    far and now you're walking far too and

  • 14:20

    you work here, [ __ ] So So I turn

  • 14:22

    around and I say, "Are you following

  • 14:24

    me?" And he said, "Yeah." And I said,

  • 14:28

    "Why

  • 14:29

    podcast fam?"

  • 14:30

    And he said, "Because you can't smoke on

  • 14:32

    the grounds." And I said, "But I'm not

  • 14:35

    I'm leaving the grounds." He said, "Oh

  • 14:37

    no, this was the other part." He said,

  • 14:39

    when he first approached me, he said,

  • 14:41

    "You can't smoke right here. And what

  • 14:43

    are you doing outside?

  • 14:46

    What?

  • 14:47

    That's the part that I forgot. He said,

  • 14:49

    "What are you doing outside?" And I

  • 14:50

    said, "Huh?" And he said, "Yeah, get

  • 14:53

    back inside. You're a patient, right?"

  • 14:55

    And I just turned around and walked

  • 14:56

    away. And that's when he followed me.

  • 14:58

    So, I did try to walk away.

  • 15:00

    I did try to not mind you, I have on the

  • 15:04

    same It's the morning, so I threw on

  • 15:06

    some sweats and put on the coat I had on

  • 15:07

    last night, which is that long ass loud

  • 15:10

    Gucci [ __ ] coat that's beautiful and

  • 15:12

    expensive. A

  • 15:13

    weird flex, but okay. Well, I'm not

  • 15:15

    trying to flag, but why would you think

  • 15:16

    that's an in impatient person?

  • 15:19

    Mhm.

  • 15:19

    Well, but first of all, even if you a

  • 15:21

    patient, what is that his business?

  • 15:23

    Well, I would think that's his business.

  • 15:24

    Just impatient. If you're impatient, you

  • 15:27

    can't leave the premises. That is that

  • 15:29

    is his business.

  • 15:30

    That's not a jail, dog.

  • 15:32

    Listen, long story less long, I got to

  • 15:34

    the street and that [ __ ] was still

  • 15:36

    right there. So then I turned around and

  • 15:37

    I said, "Okay, I have no choice but to

  • 15:40

    record this now cuz I know me and I know

  • 15:43

    you." So, let me just tape. And then I

  • 15:45

    taped and that was that. And then I

  • 15:47

    stopped taping. I asked them what time

  • 15:48

    they got off. They didn't tell me. They

  • 15:50

    told me I would be banned from the

  • 15:51

    hospital. I said, "All right, I'll be

  • 15:52

    back here in a couple hours." Blah blah

  • 15:54

    blah. Then the clip went up. Uh they got

  • 15:57

    called into HR and

  • 16:01

    HR at the hospital.

  • 16:03

    Well, my cousin works at the hospital.

  • 16:05

    Mhm.

  • 16:05

    My cousin works at the hospital. I just

  • 16:07

    took pictures with the whole [ __ ]

  • 16:08

    anonymous floor that I won't say what

  • 16:10

    floor it was,

  • 16:10

    right?

  • 16:11

    Like what did you think was going to

  • 16:12

    happen? I'm sorry. that y'all don't know

  • 16:14

    me and just look at me like the stupid

  • 16:15

    black scum of the earth [ __ ] But

  • 16:18

    nah, you got some some [ __ ] got a

  • 16:21

    little power,

  • 16:22

    especially when I'm dealing with that

  • 16:23

    your type of white. Your type of white

  • 16:25

    is not the type like not not you.

  • 16:27

    Not not not flashlight cop white. No,

  • 16:30

    no, you can't have that privilege.

  • 16:33

    Okay,

  • 16:34

    so that's what happened.

  • 16:35

    Oh yeah, little misunderstanding.

  • 16:37

    That is all it I didn't hit him. Didn't

  • 16:39

    touch him. That's good. We're 20 minutes

  • 16:41

    in.

  • 16:43

    That's cool. Yeah. So, that's what

  • 16:44

    happened. So,

  • 16:45

    everybody was DMing me like, "Yo, check

  • 16:47

    on Joe."

  • 16:47

    I would love to make jokes about it, but

  • 16:49

    I'm I, you know, when I obsess over

  • 16:50

    things, you know, my mind goes to what

  • 16:53

    made this white man feel comfortable

  • 16:55

    following a [ __ ] that he know he can't

  • 16:57

    beat.

  • 16:59

    He could have had the pepper spray.

  • 17:00

    He know he can't beat me.

  • 17:02

    He got a flashlight though.

  • 17:03

    He know he can't beat me with that

  • 17:04

    flashlight.

  • 17:05

    No, just to shine it in your eyes to

  • 17:06

    throw you off.

  • 17:07

    I could beat him without my eyes.

  • 17:09

    What if he was

  • 17:10

    a like blood sport? What if he was like

  • 17:11

    one of them secret MMA fight?

  • 17:15

    You love that movie, Joe. You want to be

  • 17:17

    in that

  • 17:17

    [ __ ] I'll be hating, man. You mad I

  • 17:20

    could fight blind.

  • 17:21

    Did you audition for that [ __ ]

  • 17:23

    That was your movie.

  • 17:24

    They so mad I could fight blind.

  • 17:26

    That was your movie going blind.

  • 17:28

    Yeah. All right. You might have been one

  • 17:29

    of the MMA fighters and caught you.

  • 17:31

    So yeah. So when I left, I was angry

  • 17:33

    that I handled it that way. But good.

  • 17:35

    That means I did the right thing cuz

  • 17:36

    you're supposed to feel bad when you do

  • 17:38

    the right thing.

  • 17:38

    Yeah. All right. All right. So,

  • 17:39

    misunderstanding. That's all. Yeah.

  • 17:40

    Yeah.

  • 17:41

    I thought you was somewhere whing, but

  • 17:42

    no.

  • 17:42

    No. No. I don't Wow. No more. I don't

  • 17:44

    wow no more. You thought the Tanner talk

  • 17:46

    had me

  • 17:48

    feeling yourself a little bit.

  • 17:50

    Tanner talk had me ready to dump the

  • 17:52

    guard.

  • 17:52

    I just saw a video of you at the

  • 17:53

    hospital with security in your face. I

  • 17:55

    don't know what's going on.

  • 17:56

    No, no, no, man. Speaking of videos,

  • 17:58

    real quick. All right. So, the

  • 17:59

    government is open. 21 minutes in. Great

  • 18:01

    podcast. The government is open. Round

  • 18:02

    of applause. Hold up.

  • 18:03

    Yeah.

  • 18:04

    Round of applause. The government is

  • 18:05

    open

  • 18:05

    temporarily. I kind of thought that

  • 18:07

    temporarily for 3 weeks, but they going

  • 18:09

    to figure it out. I kind of thought it

  • 18:10

    would open now because real easy to miss

  • 18:12

    one paycheck when they can start missing

  • 18:14

    two.

  • 18:15

    A little tough.

  • 18:16

    So when they when they re do they double

  • 18:18

    back on what they're owed?

  • 18:20

    Yeah. Depending on for the people that

  • 18:22

    are employees, yes. But for contractors,

  • 18:24

    no.

  • 18:25

    Okay.

  • 18:26

    Uh I heard a lot of people asking why

  • 18:28

    would people go to work when they're not

  • 18:29

    getting paid?

  • 18:30

    So they can keep their job.

  • 18:33

    Well, no. I would think that the people

  • 18:34

    that have these governmentissued jobs

  • 18:36

    don't really have it for the pay. They

  • 18:37

    have it for the perks and the benefits.

  • 18:39

    So, you don't you don't want to lose you

  • 18:41

    don't want to lose that even if you're

  • 18:42

    not being paid. So,

  • 18:44

    there I feel like I saw something about

  • 18:46

    uh certain occupations could be arrested

  • 18:48

    for not showing up to work, too.

  • 18:51

    I don't I don't want the job that can

  • 18:53

    arrest me if I don't come.

  • 18:54

    I agree. Don't

  • 18:56

    And that job got to have great benefits.

  • 18:57

    Don't come to this. Don't come to the

  • 18:58

    podcast one day. See what Spotify don't

  • 19:00

    show up to your door

  • 19:01

    with green handcuffs.

  • 19:05

    Neon green handcuffs.

  • 19:06

    Green handcuffs.

  • 19:07

    Neon green cuffs.

  • 19:09

    You think you think that's what Spotify

  • 19:10

    do?

  • 19:11

    I think they would.

  • 19:11

    If they don't get that work.

  • 19:12

    Yeah, for sure.

  • 19:14

  • 20:14

    Yeah absolutely.

  • 20:15

    Right in the the middle child.

  • 20:17

    Absolutely.

  • 20:18

    All right, y'all go ahead.

  • 20:19

    Absolutely. Based off the record, Rory,

  • 20:21

    how you feel?

  • 20:22

    Uh, wait a timeout. Before Rory says a

  • 20:26

    word, before Rory talks, cuz I'm not

  • 20:28

    going to interrupt Rory when he talks.

  • 20:31

    Let's have like a Let's have during this

  • 20:32

    discussion, let's have like a

  • 20:34

    transparent meter

  • 20:36

    where we're going to give our like

  • 20:38

    transparent answer and then our fake

  • 20:41

    answer.

  • 20:43

    What you mean our fake answer?

  • 20:44

    No. All right, let's let's be

  • 20:45

    transparent cuz Joe thinks if you give

  • 20:47

    credit to anybody, you're lying.

  • 20:50

    Come on.

  • 20:51

    That we know. We know that already

  • 20:53

    though. I ran for my friends.

  • 20:54

    The moment you say something is good,

  • 20:56

    like you're lying and

  • 20:57

    Yeah, Rory's deflecting.

  • 20:58

    Yeah.

  • 20:59

    No, no, that's a fact. That's not You

  • 21:01

    are actually

  • 21:02

    deflecting at all.

  • 21:03

    You know what? I'm deflecting. You guys

  • 21:06

    got it.

  • 21:06

    Yeah. Well, go ahead. I want to hear

  • 21:08

    uh I like the record.

  • 21:10

    I don't think it needed that big ass

  • 21:14

    roll out for the record. He put some

  • 21:16

    sauce on.

  • 21:16

    He did. And I can't hate on people

  • 21:18

    marketing their record to get people to

  • 21:19

    listen to it because that sounds nuts.

  • 21:20

    Yo, he's been talking for 20 seconds and

  • 21:22

    he's back and forth. You can hate You

  • 21:24

    can't hate that, Rory.

  • 21:25

    Why would I hate for someone to try to

  • 21:27

    get noticed to their record?

  • 21:28

    Because of what you said right before

  • 21:30

    that.

  • 21:31

    It didn't need it.

  • 21:34

    Why? Why would I hate that? Like,

  • 21:36

    I'm saying

  • 21:36

    should people should people market their

  • 21:37

    records?

  • 21:39

    Go. I'm

  • 21:40

    Dreamville, who does really good at

  • 21:41

    marketing.

  • 21:42

    Yeah, go ahead.

  • 21:43

    Um I thought I thought it was a good

  • 21:45

    record. I just didn't think it it really

  • 21:46

    needed. I think this record that record

  • 21:49

    would have done what it's done already

  • 21:51

    without this whole wild roll out.

  • 21:53

    The marketing just didn't match.

  • 21:56

    I'm going be dancing around saying that

  • 21:59

    the marketing hurt the record.

  • 22:01

    No.

  • 22:02

    No. Everyone listen.

  • 22:04

    Did the marketing hurt the record?

  • 22:05

    It worked. No.

  • 22:06

    No. Joe, the point of the marketing is

  • 22:07

    to get people to click it. And that's

  • 22:08

    what happened.

  • 22:09

    I don't I think

  • 22:10

    if you're saying people thought maybe

  • 22:11

    some more wild he was going to start

  • 22:12

    saying

  • 22:13

    the point of marketing to get somebody

  • 22:14

    to click it.

  • 22:15

    Yeah.

  • 22:15

    In 2019. Yes. the [ __ ] it is.

  • 22:18

    I'll say this. I'll say this. I don't

  • 22:20

    think that JCole needed to market that

  • 22:22

    record.

  • 22:23

    I think it would have done the whole

  • 22:24

    invites, everybody going down to

  • 22:26

    Dreamville, all that's for the album.

  • 22:28

    Yeah, that but that was like enough for

  • 22:29

    me. He could have just put that [ __ ]

  • 22:30

    out.

  • 22:31

    I agree. I think everything from

  • 22:32

    Dreamville leading up to Cole putting

  • 22:35

    out a song, everyone's clicking that

  • 22:36

    regardless.

  • 22:37

    Yeah.

  • 22:37

    If he was saying names on that [ __ ]

  • 22:39

    then I would have understood the whole

  • 22:42

    thing.

  • 22:42

    Here's my thing. Why [ __ ] not saying?

  • 22:43

    Yo, he's so mad. No one's hating right

  • 22:45

    now.

  • 22:45

    But why? Why? Furious.

  • 22:46

    No. Why? When I could just add hate.

  • 22:48

    Why? Why? I'm I'm getting ready to

  • 22:50

    insert hate. You talk.

  • 22:52

    [ __ ] is you talking about, [ __ ] I got

  • 22:53

    hate.

  • 22:54

    We're going to get some hate this

  • 22:55

    podcast. You think we're just going to

  • 22:57

    sit here and Hey, I mean, hated how it

  • 22:59

    was marketed, but I understand why it

  • 23:01

    was marketed that way. I mean, you got

  • 23:02

    to market, but I mean, I wouldn't have

  • 23:04

    marketed it that way, but I understand

  • 23:06

    why they decided to I'm going to hate.

  • 23:09

    Just because you put on here to hate.

  • 23:12

    You're here to hate.

  • 23:13

    Exactly. Let me hate.

  • 23:14

    I'm I'm letting you hate. I'm

  • 23:15

    No, no. Lori Love,

  • 23:17

    I'm just saying I don't think it needed

  • 23:18

    that.

  • 23:18

    I like the record. I thought it was a

  • 23:20

    good record.

  • 23:20

    You was saying more than that, dog.

  • 23:22

    Yeah, it was cool. The record was all

  • 23:23

    right. Record's all right.

  • 23:24

    It didn't It didn't like, you know, it

  • 23:25

    wasn't nothing that I'm just like I I

  • 23:27

    didn't listen to it today at all.

  • 23:28

    Yeah.

  • 23:29

    So, it's like, you know what I mean?

  • 23:30

    didn't really

  • 23:30

    I listened to it two or three times like

  • 23:31

    a

  • 23:32

    Yeah, it was

  • 23:32

    I I get that Cole is from the last album

  • 23:35

    trying to stick with the kids and I

  • 23:37

    appreciate cuz we don't need old people

  • 23:39

    hating, but I I' I'd prefer Cole to just

  • 23:42

    be

  • 23:43

    Cole and not have to put the voice

  • 23:46

    filter and the talking about sipping and

  • 23:50

    trying to relate to the kids and the new

  • 23:52

    sound. Like I think you could just be

  • 23:53

    you.

  • 23:53

    I think it was what I thought it would

  • 23:54

    be. Cold can rap. We know that. Um, I

  • 23:58

    thought I was looking after that whole

  • 24:00

    marketing thing. I was expecting more. I

  • 24:02

    guess

  • 24:03

    I thought this was going to be like some

  • 24:05

    ill like,

  • 24:06

    you know, names were going to be thrown

  • 24:07

    out there and shots were going to be

  • 24:09

    fire. I mean, shots.

  • 24:10

    Oh, this is awesome. Wait, slow down.

  • 24:11

    Let's stop right there. Mo, why did you

  • 24:12

    feel that way?

  • 24:13

    Well, because marketing. You just said

  • 24:15

    that.

  • 24:15

    He said he was making a list of checking

  • 24:16

    it twice.

  • 24:17

    Yeah, we like that's why I said it could

  • 24:18

    have went without that marketing. This

  • 24:20

    song could have just came out.

  • 24:21

    Yeah, I was expecting and then and then

  • 24:22

    to find out that those were lyrics in

  • 24:24

    the record. I was like,

  • 24:25

    "All right, I got it. I got you. I got

  • 24:27

    you. I got you right now.

  • 24:28

    We here now.

  • 24:30

    Where we at?

  • 24:32

    The record.

  • 24:36

    I like it already.

  • 24:39

    Three words.

  • 24:39

    We know.

  • 24:42

    No, I'm agreeing with y'all. So, let me

  • 24:45

    make myself clear that I'm we all agree

  • 24:49

    that the marketing was off.

  • 24:50

    Stop right there. Look what he's doing.

  • 24:52

    Deflecting.

  • 24:53

    Backpedaling. Same [ __ ] You just

  • 24:55

    laughed at us.

  • 24:55

    No, I'm not. I'm about to get into

  • 24:56

    exactly why I was laughing at each

  • 24:57

    other. You're talking about you're doing

  • 24:58

    you're doing a president. I'm

  • 24:59

    just Hey, we all like the song.

  • 25:01

    No, you're cutting me off. No, I'm I

  • 25:03

    know I cut off my

  • 25:04

    I think my friend I think the audience

  • 25:06

    knows that I have no problem saying

  • 25:08

    what's trash. So, I don't care.

  • 25:10

    We're in different times now.

  • 25:11

    We all agree that it was that it was

  • 25:13

    marketed wrong. Don't drive. No, I can't

  • 25:16

    say. I'm not going to say it was market

  • 25:17

    to get people to

  • 25:18

    Okay, tell me what y'all are saying.

  • 25:20

    I I told you what I said. I don't think

  • 25:21

    it needed that. That's all I'm saying.

  • 25:24

    Uh, and then and then the way they

  • 25:25

    marketed it, I felt like it was going to

  • 25:28

    be like a a super. All right, enough of

  • 25:30

    y'all. Enough of y'all. Hey, audience.

  • 25:33

    This is the record that J.Cole dropped

  • 25:36

    after he told us that he was making a

  • 25:38

    list and checking it twice and

  • 25:40

    remembering everything that everybody

  • 25:42

    said and everybody, y'all in trouble.

  • 25:44

    I'm on it this way the whole year. I'm

  • 25:46

    better than all you. This is the record.

  • 25:50

    Now,

  • 25:51

    now that y'all are done, that is the

  • 25:53

    record. That's not That's not the whole

  • 25:54

    record.

  • 25:58

    You got You got to play the record.

  • 25:59

    You can't defend this.

  • 26:01

    I I'm not DEFENDING IT. I'M OKAY.

  • 26:03

    But I'm not talking about I don't want

  • 26:04

    us to judge the record yet.

  • 26:06

    We're going to go through all of this

  • 26:07

    together like a family. So stay with me.

  • 26:09

    I don't want us to judge the record. I'm

  • 26:11

    not talking about judging the record.

  • 26:12

    I'm only talking about the effects when

  • 26:17

    you improperly uh market something. when

  • 26:21

    you do it. This was

  • 26:23

    All right, y'all can have your opinions.

  • 26:24

    This was not the record to drop when you

  • 26:26

    say, "I'm making a list, checking it

  • 26:28

    twice. You [ __ ] is in trouble

  • 26:30

    to us that because that is the lyrics in

  • 26:33

    the US."

  • 26:34

    To us, you're right. Let's make that

  • 26:35

    very clear.

  • 26:35

    You're right. Yes, you're right. You're

  • 26:36

    right. You're right.

  • 26:37

    That's the lyrics. That's why

  • 26:38

    we are a small minority in that people

  • 26:40

    that care about every single word that

  • 26:42

    you're saying.

  • 26:43

    I didn't see to everyone else him taking

  • 26:45

    the shots, which we'll get to. I don't

  • 26:46

    want to go ahead, but him taking the

  • 26:48

    shots quote unquote aay to everyone that

  • 26:50

    fulfilled what the marketing campaign

  • 26:52

    was.

  • 26:53

    Parks

  • 26:53

    to some people.

  • 26:54

    Not to us.

  • 26:55

    Not to me. Yeah. Not to me. No. To some

  • 26:57

    people.

  • 26:57

    Question. I know. But speak to what

  • 26:58

    you're saying. Do you do you agree?

  • 27:00

    Yeah. I don't I didn't see. And I could

  • 27:03

    be wrong. Like tell me.

  • 27:04

    I did.

  • 27:05

    I didn't see a lot of that.

  • 27:07

    I saw I saw maybe

  • 27:11

    six No, it grew once the blog started

  • 27:14

    talking. speak. I'm speaking originally.

  • 27:16

    I saw maybe 15% of people even know that

  • 27:19

    he was talking about somebody at some

  • 27:21

    point in this record. All I'm saying is

  • 27:23

    like I just thought something more

  • 27:24

    aggressive was coming.

  • 27:25

    Yes.

  • 27:26

    I think I think everybody thought

  • 27:28

    I thought names were coming. I thought

  • 27:29

    I don't think it hurt to say I think a

  • 27:31

    lot of people thought something a little

  • 27:32

    more aggressive was coming.

  • 27:33

    No, no, absolutely. That's what I'm

  • 27:35

    saying. I agree.

  • 27:35

    And I ain't wrong in that. Cole gave me

  • 27:38

    that is what I'm saying.

  • 27:40

    Like I don't and that's where I disagree

  • 27:42

    with what you said, Parks. And and would

  • 27:44

    you say I don't I I don't think

  • 27:46

    marketing is just getting somebody to

  • 27:47

    click it like

  • 27:49

    in in 2019.

  • 27:51

    I don't think

  • 27:53

    we talking about Cole. Cole is not a

  • 27:55

    clicker. He

  • 27:56

    He is

  • 27:57

    Everybody's a clicker at this point.

  • 28:00

    That's I'm not taking away from Cole.

  • 28:02

    A clicker.

  • 28:03

    Everybody is.

  • 28:04

    Yeah. Everyone's clickbait.

  • 28:05

    Yeah.

  • 28:06

    Everybody wants you to click.

  • 28:09

    Hate you [ __ ] Is Kendrick [ __ ]

  • 28:11

    clickbait?

  • 28:13

    Yeah, everybody wants

  • 28:15

    They do click differently. They just do

  • 28:16

    it with more integity.

  • 28:17

    Everybody wants you to click on it with

  • 28:18

    more integity.

  • 28:19

    I don't understand. Like that's how you

  • 28:20

    I don't know where you walk to.

  • 28:22

    You You have to click.

  • 28:23

    Well, look out for the security guard.

  • 28:28

    And we're back.

  • 28:30

    You got to do that cuz now they be

  • 28:31

    knowing when parks punch.

  • 28:32

    That was a punching. You said I'm going

  • 28:33

    to have smoke

  • 28:34

    word.

  • 28:35

    Oh. All right. Listen. We have a lot of

  • 28:37

    [ __ ] to argue about. So that's what I'm

  • 28:38

    saying. You can't argue about the

  • 28:39

    difference between things that are

  • 28:41

    clickbait and things that are clickable.

  • 28:44

    That's what I'm saying.

  • 28:45

    Yeah. I think what we're I think what

  • 28:47

    we're saying is that

  • 28:48

    the line is blurred now in this era.

  • 28:51

    Let me reply

  • 28:52

    because you have to market things that

  • 28:53

    will be clicked and to some degree that

  • 28:55

    means clickbait.

  • 28:56

    What I'm saying what I'm saying to you

  • 28:58

    guys and is

  • 29:01

    Kendrick Kendrick and TDE those are some

  • 29:05

    of the people that we we hold to a

  • 29:07

    higher standard. Of course, they appear

  • 29:08

    to operate with a little more integrity

  • 29:10

    than just doing clickbait uh

  • 29:14

    microwavable [ __ ] right?

  • 29:16

    Cole to a large community is held at the

  • 29:20

    same regard.

  • 29:21

    I agree

  • 29:22

    that that's what I am saying.

  • 29:24

    So when you're held to that regard, that

  • 29:27

    standard

  • 29:28

    quick question

  • 29:29

    and that's the

  • 29:30

    was the control verse not clickbait.

  • 29:32

    No.

  • 29:33

    Okay.

  • 29:33

    Not at all.

  • 29:36

    How so? I don't even understand

  • 29:37

    because what what else was the verse

  • 29:38

    about?

  • 29:39

    So to me,

  • 29:40

    what define clickbait?

  • 29:42

    You put that in there.

  • 29:43

    I'm saying a bunch of names. So the

  • 29:45

    headline will be

  • 29:45

    that's not what clickbait is. Tell me

  • 29:47

    what clickbait is.

  • 29:48

    You can do something knowing that people

  • 29:50

    will take it and say Kendrick calls out

  • 29:53

    uh Drake, Push A, etc.

  • 29:55

    Right.

  • 29:58

    You can do things knowing that people

  • 30:00

    will take

  • 30:00

    Do y'all feel like this with y'all

  • 30:01

    saying?

  • 30:02

    Yeah.

  • 30:03

    Okay, I got it.

  • 30:06

    What made y'all click that record?

  • 30:09

    Everybody say

  • 30:09

    that's what clickbait is. That's what

  • 30:11

    clickbait is.

  • 30:12

    I can't say for us because we clicked it

  • 30:13

    because we love hiphop.

  • 30:14

    But that's

  • 30:15

    but the regular consumer clicked it

  • 30:17

    because he said Kendrick is always

  • 30:19

    Hey, check this out. When Joe speak,

  • 30:20

    it's always for Joe. I'm never speaking

  • 30:22

    for anybody else's interpretation of

  • 30:25

    something. Clickbait. I don't give a

  • 30:27

    [ __ ] I'm telling you about Joe.

  • 30:29

    Clickbait

  • 30:31

    is are is people doing [ __ ] to make you

  • 30:34

    click it. You heard that control verse

  • 30:36

    cuz you wanted to hear that song. And

  • 30:38

    then when you heard that song, it made

  • 30:39

    you do whatever you did. He didn't say a

  • 30:42

    [ __ ] word. He didn't say nothing. IT

  • 30:45

    WASN'T EVEN A SONG. HE DID WHAT SOMEBODY

  • 30:48

    asked him to do. Yo, come through. Put

  • 30:50

    this down. He put it down and left. No,

  • 30:53

    that's not clickbait. And I really don't

  • 30:54

    see how that's relevant to the point I'm

  • 30:56

    making. What JCole did, I'm not even

  • 30:59

    calling clickbait. I'm not I'm not

  • 31:01

    calling it clickbait.

  • 31:02

    What are you calling it? A bad roll out.

  • 31:05

    No,

  • 31:06

    that

  • 31:06

    So why a bad roll out?

  • 31:08

    Not a bad roll out because it worked. It

  • 31:09

    was a great roll out. It was a great

  • 31:11

    roll out.

  • 31:12

    My definition, I'm speaking to me.

  • 31:14

    The roll out don't just stop when the

  • 31:16

    record drop.

  • 31:17

    Okay.

  • 31:17

    The roll out doesn't just stop when the

  • 31:19

    record drops because then you deal with

  • 31:21

    and maybe that's the difference between

  • 31:22

    buyers remorse now.

  • 31:24

    No, I bought it.

  • 31:26

    But but at the same time,

  • 31:27

    I bought it and that's it. It's just not

  • 31:28

    what I thought I was getting because

  • 31:30

    fires remorse. I thought I was getting a

  • 31:32

    S550 and it wasn't that. The commercial

  • 31:36

    looked different. The teaser looked

  • 31:37

    different. The trailer looked different.

  • 31:38

    But there's nothing wrong with that.

  • 31:39

    There's nothing wrong. There's nothing

  • 31:40

    wrong. I'm just pointing out what he

  • 31:43

    knew because he knew that. He knew that.

  • 31:46

    And we going to talk about it later.

  • 31:47

    Everything I'm saying I can prove. I can

  • 31:50

    prove because later I'm going to start

  • 31:51

    talking about who I think he's talking

  • 31:52

    to. And then I'm going start asking

  • 31:54

    y'all how y'all feel about him talking

  • 31:56

    to who I think he talking to like this.

  • 31:58

    And then I want y'all to remember this

  • 32:00

    tone.

  • 32:01

    Okay.

  • 32:02

    Actually, let's do it now. Should he be

  • 32:04

    talking Hey, no. Should he be talking to

  • 32:05

    push? NO. NO. NO. BEFORE I GET THERE,

  • 32:07

    SHOULD HE BE TALKING TO PUSH LIKE THAT?

  • 32:08

    RORY. Rory McFarrell. I'm asking you.

  • 32:11

    Yeah [ __ ]

  • 32:13

    Yeah.

  • 32:14

    Mix.

  • 32:15

    Let me get rid of this.

  • 32:16

    That's actually That's actually a little

  • 32:18

    racist, but it's cool. Ailia Ben, relax.

  • 32:21

    The Mick. What was the Mick?

  • 32:23

    The Mick. Yeah, Mick is a is a

  • 32:25

    I'm sorry. I'm sorry to that. That could

  • 32:28

    be racist.

  • 32:29

    No, it is. It's a It's a slur.

  • 32:30

    I didn't mean it that way.

  • 32:31

    I know you didn't. I'm just trying to

  • 32:32

    make you

  • 32:32

    I'm sorry to the mix out there.

  • 32:33

    But before you get there, what you just

  • 32:35

    said, you're speaking for you. And what

  • 32:36

    we're saying is Cole was a superstar and

  • 32:38

    has to pander to everyone else. So yeah,

  • 32:40

    to us it's like we thought you was going

  • 32:41

    to call out names, but that marketing

  • 32:43

    [ __ ] is successful because everyone

  • 32:45

    clicked it. Like you kind of proved our

  • 32:47

    point.

  • 32:47

    Okay.

  • 32:48

    To us, of course. Yeah. I would have

  • 32:50

    loved

  • 32:50

    I can to y'all. I concede to y'all in

  • 32:53

    this point. Great roll out. Y'all are

  • 32:56

    right. It worked. We clicked it. We

  • 32:59

    heard it. How do y'all feel?

  • 33:01

    I told you already. I wasn't blown away.

  • 33:03

    It was

  • 33:03

    Yeah, I thought it was cool.

  • 33:04

    It was cool.

  • 33:04

    It was cool.

  • 33:05

    Stop before you say a word, Rory.

  • 33:07

    That's why I say that it was a bad roll

  • 33:10

    out

  • 33:11

    to us

  • 33:11

    because let me tell

  • 33:14

    you, let me just let me just say of

  • 33:15

    course he does. He don't give a [ __ ]

  • 33:16

    about us.

  • 33:17

    That's what I'm saying. So, what I'm

  • 33:18

    saying is, see, I asked Maul, "What did

  • 33:21

    What did you think of that song?" And he

  • 33:23

    didn't tell us what he thought of the

  • 33:24

    song. He told us what he didn't think of

  • 33:26

    the song. He that he only did that

  • 33:29

    because of how that song was marketed.

  • 33:31

    Okay.

  • 33:32

    Had JCole just dropped a song,

  • 33:34

    I would still feel the same way.

  • 33:35

    Of course, but you would tell me what

  • 33:36

    you think of the song. You wouldn't say

  • 33:38

    I wasn't blown away.

  • 33:39

    That's what I think of the song.

  • 33:40

    I know. But Parks did the very same

  • 33:42

    thing right after you. The very same

  • 33:44

    thing. That is a marketing thing. I

  • 33:45

    don't know if y'all know that or not,

  • 33:46

    but that is a marketing thing. It has

  • 33:49

    everything to do with marketing.

  • 33:50

    I don't disagree.

  • 33:52

    But anyways, we don't need to get caught

  • 33:53

    up in that. Mo wasn't blown away. Parks,

  • 33:55

    how you feel?

  • 33:55

    I wasn't blown away. Yeah, it was cool.

  • 33:57

    Rory, it was all right.

  • 33:58

    Like the song.

  • 34:02

    Job well done.

  • 34:03

    Uh, replay value for me.

  • 34:05

    Like it. I want to see how it does cuz I

  • 34:07

    think Cole was trying to make that song

  • 34:09

    to also see how it plays outside.

  • 34:12

    Not in the capacity that most JCole

  • 34:14

    records are. You're in your headphones

  • 34:15

    by yourself. No, because I don't think

  • 34:17

    Cole chases hits in at this point in his

  • 34:20

    career. I think he makes records and

  • 34:21

    thinks maybe this could cross over.

  • 34:23

    I think he made this thinking that

  • 34:26

    that hook in that first verse will be

  • 34:28

    played at the early part of the of the

  • 34:31

    party.

  • 34:32

    I hope I don't want to hear that.

  • 34:34

    I don't want to be at that party.

  • 34:36

    Just telling you what I what I think he

  • 34:38

    went into making that record.

  • 34:40

    I can tell by the filter. I can tell by

  • 34:41

    the by the chorus.

  • 34:42

    That record comes on a valet. I ain't

  • 34:44

    going to

  • 34:45

    I ain't going to hold you [ __ ] that

  • 34:46

    come on.

  • 34:46

    [ __ ] walked there. He going to be a

  • 34:48

    valet.

  • 34:49

    Valet. I'm out.

  • 34:51

    You leave Jay Holiday out of this [ __ ]

  • 34:54

    Relax. See, see, see how [ __ ] dig

  • 34:57

    somebody up?

  • 34:58

    I'm not saying nothing. I [ __ ] with Jay

  • 34:59

    Holiday. I don't care if you work in

  • 35:00

    Valley. No. See, see, look what he do.

  • 35:02

    Me too.

  • 35:03

    Me too.

  • 35:04

    You can't joking the people you [ __ ]

  • 35:05

    with.

  • 35:05

    No, sorry. I don't mean

  • 35:08

    Wait, Son, what episode is this?

  • 35:10

    216.

  • 35:10

    You have to delete 216 episodes on this

  • 35:13

    podcast.

  • 35:14

    We real friends. Jay Holiday will fight

  • 35:15

    us.

  • 35:16

    That [ __ ] ain't That [ __ ] ain't on

  • 35:18

    man. The [ __ ] is you talking about? What

  • 35:20

    is he saying?

  • 35:21

    Uh, the co record. Yeah, I think by how

  • 35:23

    he did the choruses, the filter he did

  • 35:25

    on there, the content of the chorus that

  • 35:27

    he thinks maybe this could cross over

  • 35:29

    into not just the regular I put my

  • 35:30

    headphones on and love this coal album

  • 35:32

    by myself.

  • 35:33

    All right. Wait a minute, buddy. We're

  • 35:34

    getting carried away with the hot takes.

  • 35:36

    We're going to piss people off out

  • 35:37

    there.

  • 35:38

    I'm not Who going to piss off?

  • 35:40

    No one.

  • 35:40

    Just my opinion.

  • 35:41

    No, I know. Not at all. Trust me.

  • 35:43

    Yeah, it just didn't uh the record just

  • 35:44

    didn't it wasn't it for me. It was cool.

  • 35:47

    I mean, Cole can rap. We know that. But

  • 35:49

    it just wasn't The song wasn't And I

  • 35:51

    like Cole a lot, but the song just

  • 35:52

    wasn't there for me.

  • 35:53

    Yeah.

  • 35:55

    I'm just curious where it's going to go

  • 35:56

    with We just did this whole Dreamville

  • 35:58

    session [ __ ] and now I just put out a

  • 36:01

    single for me.

  • 36:03

    It could be off Dreamville, though.

  • 36:05

    But it wasn't marketed that way.

  • 36:06

    You think this record is on the album?

  • 36:09

    I don't know. That's why I'm I'm

  • 36:10

    confused.

  • 36:11

    I hate your [ __ ] Just shut up.

  • 36:13

    Well, cuz I asked him if the record is

  • 36:14

    on the album.

  • 36:15

    You have to ignore him more sometimes.

  • 36:16

    You just got to let you got to let him

  • 36:17

    talk.

  • 36:18

    No, this this this matters to me.

  • 36:19

    He just put out this whole crazy every

  • 36:21

    single person with a yellow invite and

  • 36:22

    then you just put out a solo record.

  • 36:24

    The [ __ ] are you talking about?

  • 36:25

    Yeah, I got to ask.

  • 36:25

    I care if this this record is on the

  • 36:27

    album. I care. Wait on Cole's album.

  • 36:29

    Yes, I care.

  • 36:29

    No, on the Dreamville [ __ ]

  • 36:34

    I know you don't care. I care.

  • 36:35

    Where else is it going?

  • 36:37

    His album.

  • 36:38

    Yeah.

  • 36:38

    Or it could just be something he just

  • 36:40

    put out. That happens. Yeah. [ __ ] put

  • 36:42

    records out just to put them out. Like,

  • 36:44

    why you acting like you don't know how

  • 36:45

    this [ __ ] go? Just

  • 36:46

    I'm blown away by the things that

  • 36:48

    Joe, you [ __ ] don't put out just

  • 36:50

    records just to let them fly. Like,

  • 36:51

    yes, they do. I'm talking about people

  • 36:53

    locking themselves in a studio with 95

  • 36:56

    people.

  • 36:57

    Yeah. Which means they probably have 95

  • 36:58

    songs

  • 36:59

    and then immediately drop a record two

  • 37:01

    days after they leave.

  • 37:02

    I would think it's for the project that

  • 37:04

    they recorded with 95 people.

  • 37:06

    No, I don't think so.

  • 37:07

    That's not real.

  • 37:08

    Well, no, it could be. I'm saying I I

  • 37:10

    don't I hope not. I hope not.

  • 37:12

    All right, enough of y'all. What do

  • 37:13

    y'all think? What do y'all think? What

  • 37:14

    do y'all think of T- Minus? Let's get

  • 37:15

    into him. We know what y'all think of

  • 37:16

    Cole.

  • 37:16

    He's a great producer

  • 37:18

    with his track record and his

  • 37:19

    disappearance.

  • 37:20

    Thank you, Rory.

  • 37:21

    I don't think that this is how T-minus

  • 37:24

    wanted to come back. I think with Cole

  • 37:25

    that makes it

  • 37:26

    has no idea why we're saying this.

  • 37:28

    T-minus retired,

  • 37:29

    but he's been active for the past couple

  • 37:31

    years. He did a record on uh JCole's

  • 37:33

    last album.

  • 37:33

    It's not the first time they

  • 37:34

    collaborated.

  • 37:35

    How how active he was in the past. He's

  • 37:38

    been quite Even Drake through the bar.

  • 37:39

    Last time I heard from her, Tinus was

  • 37:41

    making beats,

  • 37:41

    right?

  • 37:43

    He hasn't been that active.

  • 37:44

    I think it's good that he came back on

  • 37:46

    this moment, but me personally, I don't

  • 37:48

    think this is the way

  • 37:50

    he wanted to come back sonically.

  • 37:53

    It sounds like an older beat, honestly.

  • 37:55

    It doesn't sound like this was created

  • 37:57

    in the Dreamville sessions. I think he

  • 37:58

    had that on the hard drive and was like,

  • 38:00

    "Yo, I got this." And then Cole just

  • 38:02

    caught a vibe from it.

  • 38:03

    But that's why I said what I said about

  • 38:05

    the

  • 38:05

    It's good. It's good for the moment, but

  • 38:07

    musically, I don't think T minus wanted

  • 38:08

    to come back on this [ __ ] I don't. I

  • 38:11

    think a nice little B-side with some

  • 38:13

    heavier acts would have been the way for

  • 38:15

    him to come back.

  • 38:16

    I just like I said, the record was okay.

  • 38:19

    Wasn't blown away. I don't think I'll be

  • 38:21

    playing that record much. You know what

  • 38:24

    I mean? I the marketing made me feel

  • 38:26

    like it was something bigger, something

  • 38:28

    stronger happening. And that was just

  • 38:31

    kind of like a, oh, okay, cool. You

  • 38:33

    know, Cole rapping, he's showing that he

  • 38:34

    can stick to the that that bounce that

  • 38:36

    the young the younger crowd likes, but

  • 38:38

    he can still be lyrical on that. I think

  • 38:40

    that Cole

  • 38:42

    I think where he gets labeled as boring

  • 38:45

    is because of the production of his

  • 38:48

    vocals. Not necessarily the beats that

  • 38:49

    he picks or the because he can rap

  • 38:51

    really well when his tone.

  • 38:53

    Yeah. Like he doesn't really animate

  • 38:55

    very much.

  • 38:57

    So that's kind of the criticism I would

  • 38:59

    have about the production.

  • 39:00

    Yeah. Okay.

  • 39:01

    That's why I like him.

  • 39:02

    I don't think Cole is boring.

  • 39:04

    I don't either.

  • 39:04

    I know that's like the running trend. I

  • 39:07

    just don't think he is.

  • 39:08

    He can't be regular's boring. I think

  • 39:10

    the beat was actually more boring than

  • 39:11

    Cole. I think Cole brought the beat out.

  • 39:13

    I thought the beat was boring.

  • 39:15

    The The beat was very

  • 39:18

    I think Cole I think Cole livened up the

  • 39:20

    beat. The beat is a regular loop.

  • 39:22

    Yeah, it was a simple track. Definitely.

  • 39:23

    That but that's why I asked Let me not

  • 39:25

    call it a loop.

  • 39:25

    Do you think it's going on a project?

  • 39:26

    Because I don't think that if it's what

  • 39:29

    Dreamville that whole session was with

  • 39:30

    all these great producers that that

  • 39:32

    would be a record that would would stick

  • 39:34

    to the project. That's what I That's why

  • 39:36

    I find me that the [ __ ] trash death

  • 39:38

    jam commercial, please.

  • 39:41

    Do we not want to finish with the with

  • 39:43

    stuff?

  • 39:43

    We are gonna finish. It's gonna take him

  • 39:44

    an hour and a half to find the [ __ ]

  • 39:46

    death jam stuff. So, we are going to

  • 39:47

    finish this. Okay, let's get into the

  • 39:49

    lyrics for that.

  • 39:50

    Y'all already said what y'all thought

  • 39:52

    about T minus. That's what I was looking

  • 39:53

    for from you, our informed ear parks,

  • 39:55

    the producer parks. Do you think that

  • 39:57

    this beat sounded dated? Is it current?

  • 39:59

    Did it match with him? I'm looking for

  • 40:01

    you to insert your genius there with

  • 40:04

    him. I don't know how I feel because I

  • 40:06

    ain't really Last time I heard T minus

  • 40:08

    was me.

  • 40:08

    No, he did uh he did Blem. He did a

  • 40:10

    bunch of [ __ ] on More Life. He did a

  • 40:12

    bunch of [ __ ] recently. He did something

  • 40:13

    on uh Scorpion.

  • 40:14

    He did he did do he did something on um

  • 40:16

    he did win some lose some by Big Sean a

  • 40:19

    couple years ago. He was on Travis last

  • 40:21

    album.

  • 40:22

    He did go on a hiatus for a long time,

  • 40:24

    but he's been around the last couple

  • 40:25

    years.

  • 40:26

    Church. Yeah, I think he got religious.

  • 40:28

    Sure.

  • 40:28

    Or he just didn't want to sell me any

  • 40:30

    more beats,

  • 40:32

    which I didn't understand cuz that's

  • 40:33

    Did you pay him?

  • 40:34

    He was getting a gang. Yeah, that's when

  • 40:36

    I started paying producers.

  • 40:40

    I couldn't afford it. Producers get mad

  • 40:42

    when you say that. Listen, I couldn't

  • 40:43

    afford it. That That's what I'm saying.

  • 40:44

    I wasn't trying to get over cuz the

  • 40:46

    producers will attack you

  • 40:48

    as they [ __ ] should

  • 40:50

    if you're broke.

  • 40:51

    No, they should attack you for not being

  • 40:52

    paid for the work. Yes, they should.

  • 40:54

    Yeah,

  • 40:55

    I'm I'm I'm on team. Producers get paid.

  • 40:57

    Yeah,

  • 40:57

    I understand if you have an artist is

  • 40:59

    broke.

  • 41:00

    You're missing my point, Joe. I don't

  • 41:01

    care.

  • 41:02

    I'm on team. All producers get paid,

  • 41:04

    too. But from the

  • 41:05

    They can get mad. They have every right

  • 41:06

    to get mad.

  • 41:08

    I think that's [ __ ] up.

  • 41:09

    No, they still if they they don't get

  • 41:11

    paid.

  • 41:11

    Just cuz you broke, that ain't my

  • 41:12

    problem.

  • 41:13

    That ain't their problem.

  • 41:14

    Wait, y'all never been a star starving

  • 41:16

    artist?

  • 41:17

    No.

  • 41:17

    Yeah, but Okay, you can be a starving

  • 41:18

    artist.

  • 41:19

    If you're a starving artist, you're not

  • 41:20

    going to do everything you got to do.

  • 41:22

    No, but you could probably be those he

  • 41:25

    would probably do the beans conversation

  • 41:27

    with him first.

  • 41:28

    I'm saying yeah, you couldn't pay him.

  • 41:30

    He has every right to get upset.

  • 41:32

    Oh, no. I mean, all right. I guess

  • 41:34

    it's one thing to It's one thing to not

  • 41:36

    pay.

  • 41:36

    You should understand.

  • 41:37

    It's one thing to not pay someone. It's

  • 41:39

    one thing to not tell someone that

  • 41:40

    you're not going to pay them, but just

  • 41:41

    put that or tell, "Yo, I'm going to pay

  • 41:42

    you on the back end or some [ __ ]

  • 41:44

    like just be like, yo, I don't have it."

  • 41:45

    Yo, that's the that's the

  • 41:46

    I'll give you a verse or a song later

  • 41:48

    on. Come on. Let's Let's get to the

  • 41:50

    juicy [ __ ] We [ __ ] have tap danced

  • 41:52

    around enough.

  • 41:54

    So break this lyrical miracle down for

  • 41:56

    us.

  • 41:57

    Well, you already said should he have

  • 41:58

    been talking to Push a T like that?

  • 42:00

    I thought it was about talking to P.

  • 42:01

    I thought it was about cond

  • 42:06

    asked him.

  • 42:06

    I didn't think pusher.

  • 42:07

    All right, so slow down. Let me talk and

  • 42:09

    let me talk then let me talk. Let me

  • 42:10

    talk first and let me talk first and

  • 42:12

    then y'all tell me exactly what you

  • 42:13

    think. I'm going tell you why I feel

  • 42:14

    like this. I can't prove any of this

  • 42:16

    [ __ ]

  • 42:17

    All of this is unfounded. Mhm.

  • 42:21

    Kanye was going on all of his abrupt,

  • 42:26

    well, they seemed to be abrupt tweet

  • 42:28

    rants toward Drake. And I'm going to say

  • 42:30

    random and a random but abrupt because

  • 42:33

    to us seemingly that feud was over

  • 42:37

    publicly. That feud was done.

  • 42:41

    But then Kanye kept going publicly.

  • 42:46

    That made me just think that something

  • 42:47

    behind the scenes was going. J Prince

  • 42:49

    was calling [ __ ] I didn't [ __ ] know

  • 42:50

    some Calabasas beef. That's all I

  • 42:53

    thought at the time.

  • 42:54

    Mhm.

  • 42:55

    Until Drake landed in LA.

  • 42:58

    Mhm.

  • 43:01

    And in the midst of Kanye's rant, he

  • 43:04

    tweeted that purple emoji, devil emoji

  • 43:07

    thingamajiggy. Right. Right.

  • 43:09

    Which let us know that Drake was in LA.

  • 43:12

    I can't believe that that's a thing.

  • 43:15

    It's a thing.

  • 43:16

    It's a thing.

  • 43:17

    I'm sorry. We just argued over you

  • 43:20

    telling me what was a thing that

  • 43:21

    clickbait a thing. You know this is a

  • 43:23

    thing.

  • 43:23

    I know. I'm just laughing.

  • 43:24

    You told me it's a thing.

  • 43:25

    I'm not going against I'm just laughing.

  • 43:28

    That's where we are now.

  • 43:29

    I'm laughing that this is where we

  • 43:30

    But I'm asking y'all when this happened.

  • 43:32

    Y'all didn't put much stock into any of

  • 43:35

    this stuff. Right.

  • 43:36

    A little.

  • 43:36

    No, I put stock into it.

  • 43:37

    Definitely. I definitely did.

  • 43:38

    Okay, cool. Right after he does the

  • 43:40

    purple uh emoji when he lands

  • 43:43

    was what? Yes. A picture with Cole.

  • 43:48

    Yeah. In the car.

  • 43:49

    That in LA.

  • 43:52

    That was weird.

  • 43:54

    It was random.

  • 43:56

    Come on, Rory.

  • 43:57

    I know.

  • 43:58

    Random. Yes. It looked like Drake picked

  • 44:00

    Cole up from the airport.

  • 44:02

    He did.

  • 44:03

    I'm not I'm not trying to be funny.

  • 44:05

    Uh, and they even put like a a I'm a

  • 44:07

    ghost Casper bar like in the caption

  • 44:10

    and they were smiling together. When you

  • 44:12

    see two light-kinned [ __ ] smiling

  • 44:14

    together in a car

  • 44:16

    like they were talking about what were

  • 44:18

    they talking about that made them smile.

  • 44:21

    I'm just telling you what I was

  • 44:22

    thinking.

  • 44:22

    And first of all, Cole, you still

  • 44:23

    rapping about uh your student loans. Get

  • 44:26

    on the train. B I want to see you in the

  • 44:28

    Ghost.

  • 44:28

    That's why. But that's why I argue with

  • 44:30

    Rory because to make the Cole argument

  • 44:33

    that people are trying to make, you need

  • 44:36

    Cole fans.

  • 44:38

    You can't really have an educated cold

  • 44:42

    conversation without an objective cold

  • 44:44

    fit,

  • 44:45

    right?

  • 44:45

    You need them,

  • 44:46

    right?

  • 44:47

    So, I need you here because that's why I

  • 44:50

    thought that was weird. Not because of

  • 44:52

    Drake. All of that is right up Drake's

  • 44:53

    alley. Petty, I'mma [ __ ] with you now

  • 44:56

    the whole way. If I could get on your

  • 44:57

    nerves, Cole, though, this was new

  • 44:59

    behavior.

  • 45:01

    I have never seen Cole insert himself or

  • 45:03

    appear to insert himself in the middle

  • 45:05

    of some [ __ ]

  • 45:05

    Right.

  • 45:06

    Me. So that's how I looked at it. Cool.

  • 45:09

    Leave it alone. Whatever. Fast forward

  • 45:14

    a few days ago. What came first? Push's

  • 45:18

    tweet or J or Jid's tweet.

  • 45:22

    Uh J's went first.

  • 45:24

    J's went first.

  • 45:25

    Wait. What did he say?

  • 45:27

    J tweets out.

  • 45:30

    Should I find it or should I just

  • 45:32

    paraphrase it? It was a sentence. He

  • 45:34

    tweeted out something that said all you

  • 45:36

    [ __ ] could get it.

  • 45:37

    No, you can't [ __ ] with us.

  • 45:40

    You can't [ __ ] with me and minds.

  • 45:42

    Yeah. Yeah.

  • 45:45

    I know. That's why I said I don't want

  • 45:46

    you to paraphrase that way.

  • 45:48

    Not you can [ __ ] with me. Now you can't

  • 45:50

    [ __ ] with me.

  • 45:52

    You and yours cannot [ __ ] with me and

  • 45:56

    mine. That's odd to me. Why is J

  • 45:58

    tweeting like this?

  • 46:00

    I tweeted him with the I emoji. His

  • 46:03

    response was telling.

  • 46:05

    He said it wasn't purple. Purple. Yes,

  • 46:07

    it was. Was it a purple?

  • 46:08

    He said it wasn't about you. That was

  • 46:10

    the only response.

  • 46:13

    Critical thinking, Rory.

  • 46:18

    So, just because it wasn't about you.

  • 46:20

    Now, Parks, I'm going to get the tweet.

  • 46:22

    Now, I'm going to get the tweet.

  • 46:23

    Critical thinking.

  • 46:25

    Go get the tweet. He's I hit him the

  • 46:28

    with the eye emoji. I didn't say I

  • 46:29

    thought this was about me. However, the

  • 46:31

    talk of the town currently is

  • 46:33

    talk of the town.

  • 46:34

    The town is Twitter. It's the talk of

  • 46:36

    the town.

  • 46:38

    The talk of no town.

  • 46:39

    That's not the town. There's one town.

  • 46:42

    That's the town. Ben Affleck, them

  • 46:43

    [ __ ] That's another town.

  • 46:44

    It's two towns.

  • 46:45

    That's your That's your second Irish

  • 46:46

    remark that I'm going to let go. But go

  • 46:48

    ahead.

  • 46:48

    You about to get a mick again.

  • 46:52

    Mo.

  • 46:53

    Yes.

  • 46:53

    What did I just

  • 46:54

    J? Oh,

  • 46:57

    I hit him with the eyes. The talk of the

  • 46:59

    town currently is because we did our

  • 47:01

    last podcast that seemed to be uh maybe

  • 47:04

    a little aggressive toward Cole that you

  • 47:07

    know the joke online for some of these

  • 47:08

    people. We have a large community of

  • 47:09

    people to follow us is that Cole would

  • 47:10

    be replying to us. So when I hit him

  • 47:12

    with the eyes, I wasn't talking about

  • 47:13

    that. I have never felt like Cole was

  • 47:15

    going to come at us.

  • 47:16

    Yeah.

  • 47:17

    I have never felt like that. We was all

  • 47:19

    kidding around. But telling to me that

  • 47:22

    he that he thought that I would think

  • 47:23

    that

  • 47:25

    that was telling

  • 47:26

    and no and it was telling because it was

  • 47:28

    him saying basically no not you but

  • 47:30

    somebody

  • 47:32

    Yes.

  • 47:32

    Not you but somebody else.

  • 47:33

    Yeah. He know. Hey them [ __ ] is

  • 47:35

    online. You was in the studio with 90

  • 47:37

    [ __ ] that all of them didn't have Old

  • 47:39

    Spice. All of them didn't. When you in

  • 47:42

    there with that type of crew.

  • 47:44

    I made the joke last podcast but I was

  • 47:45

    being serious. I think a lot of gossip

  • 47:47

    happened during those dreamville

  • 47:48

    sessions.

  • 47:48

    For sure. Them [ __ ] is HEY, CHECK THIS

  • 47:51

    OUT. THEM [ __ ] is online. So for J to

  • 47:54

    say,

  • 47:55

    no, not you.

  • 47:57

    It's somebody.

  • 47:58

    It's somebody.

  • 47:59

    Mhm.

  • 48:00

    And guess what the very next tweet was?

  • 48:02

    You [ __ ] right. Push. Saying, "Hey,

  • 48:07

    I hear [ __ ] want to go another R." He

  • 48:09

    didn't say Drake.

  • 48:12

    He did not say Drake.

  • 48:13

    Wait, so where's the where did the riff

  • 48:15

    become? Wait, let me just finish. I hear

  • 48:17

    [ __ ] want to go another round. This

  • 48:20

    time I'm not playing with you,

  • 48:24

    any of you. This sounds like crew beef.

  • 48:29

    Okay, that's where Joe is at with this.

  • 48:32

    Would you say another round or he says

  • 48:33

    another round? I missed round one.

  • 48:35

    No, you didn't. Oh, you seen round one,

  • 48:37

    [ __ ]

  • 48:38

    False prophets.

  • 48:39

    You seen round one.

  • 48:40

    False prophets.

  • 48:41

    This is crew beef. Oh, crew. We already

  • 48:43

    saw Push/Kany

  • 48:47

    versus Drake. We then had Push come sit

  • 48:50

    right here on our [ __ ] couch

  • 48:52

    and tell us not only how he feels about

  • 48:54

    how Kanye moves, but how he moves in

  • 48:56

    defense of Kanye,

  • 48:58

    right?

  • 48:59

    Uh, I didn't know Cole and Drake was so

  • 49:02

    tag team back again.

  • 49:03

    That's what I'm saying.

  • 49:04

    But a devil emo, a purple devil emoji.

  • 49:07

    I'm with Kanye. Don't devil emoji me.

  • 49:10

    Don't devil emoji me. God damn It's

  • 49:12

    funny that that's triggering.

  • 49:13

    Don't devil. Yo, don't devil emoji me in

  • 49:15

    Calabases, my [ __ ] I don't even like

  • 49:18

    purple.

  • 49:18

    Yeah.

  • 49:19

    Ain't purple rain,

  • 49:20

    right?

  • 49:21

    The devil emoji.

  • 49:23

    So now Cole is in this and parks, let's

  • 49:25

    say. Hey Roy, let's say you're right,

  • 49:27

    Parks. Let's say I don't pay none of

  • 49:28

    this. No mine. And everything I'm saying

  • 49:29

    is wrong. And then now here comes Cole

  • 49:32

    telling me I'm making a list. I'm

  • 49:34

    checking it twice. I remember what y'all

  • 49:36

    said. But hey, Cole marketing genius. So

  • 49:38

    I'm not paying that any mind either. And

  • 49:40

    now this song drops and now you're

  • 49:43

    addressing

  • 49:44

    the two [ __ ] that my theory along this

  • 49:47

    whole way said that camp.

  • 49:50

    I missed the push.

  • 49:50

    Kanye and push.

  • 49:52

    I missed the pusher bar.

  • 49:54

    What's the pusher? I have I have the

  • 49:55

    lyrics right here.

  • 49:56

    Kanye, I hear the lyrics.

  • 50:00

    Uh, but I never beef with a [ __ ] for

  • 50:01

    nothing. If I smoke a rapper, it's going

  • 50:03

    to be legit. It won't be for clout. It

  • 50:04

    won't be for fame. It won't be because

  • 50:06

    my [ __ ] ain't selling the same. It won't

  • 50:07

    be to sell you my latest my latest

  • 50:08

    little sneakers. They want me cuz some

  • 50:10

    [ __ ] slid in my lane. Everything grows

  • 50:11

    is death. We We can stop right there.

  • 50:13

    That was Kanye. I thought

  • 50:15

    all day.

  • 50:15

    But I guess Push sells shoes too.

  • 50:18

    Yeah, but Push was

  • 50:22

    Oh, I'm not on that. I'm on say you

  • 50:23

    can't tell.

  • 50:24

    If I smoke a rapper, it won't it's going

  • 50:26

    to be legit.

  • 50:28

    Okay.

  • 50:28

    Period.

  • 50:30

    It won't be for clout.

  • 50:32

    It won't be for fame.

  • 50:35

    It won't be uh it won't be cuz my [ __ ]

  • 50:38

    ain't selling the same. Yes, that could

  • 50:41

    be a very normal line contextualized

  • 50:44

    with everything I just said. And when I

  • 50:47

    think about exactly how Drake responded

  • 50:50

    to Push and kind of dis pushed him to

  • 50:53

    the side to acknowledge Kanye and told

  • 50:56

    Push, hey, those extra copies you sold,

  • 50:59

    you're welcome. This all fits to me is

  • 51:02

    all I'm saying. Wait, but how on earth

  • 51:04

    would that be for Push? Cuz Push has

  • 51:07

    been throwing shots at them forever.

  • 51:09

    No, he hasn't.

  • 51:11

    Who?

  • 51:12

    Young Money Drake.

  • 51:13

    No, he hasn't.

  • 51:14

    For a while.

  • 51:15

    2006.

  • 51:16

    I know.

  • 51:17

    I know. Yeah. And then 2006 to 2011.

  • 51:22

    And And I want to also say

  • 51:23

    And then that's where was this not

  • 51:25

    Push's bestselling?

  • 51:27

    I feel like Push's number.

  • 51:30

    I don't know. I don't check. I don't

  • 51:31

    think Last year was last year was

  • 51:33

    definitely Push's best solo.

  • 51:35

    If the labels don't uh put pay the

  • 51:37

    publicist to pull out their bullboard

  • 51:39

    articles and [ __ ] I don't know who

  • 51:40

    sells what.

  • 51:42

    Okay, last put it this way. Last year

  • 51:43

    was definitely Push's best solo yet.

  • 51:45

    [ __ ] [ __ ] the numbers. There's no way

  • 51:47

    Pusher did the infrared [ __ ] cuz his

  • 51:49

    [ __ ] wasn't selling the same.

  • 51:50

    Rory McFarrell, hear me good.

  • 51:54

    Do you think that JCO, you dancing

  • 51:58

    [ __ ] once smoked with push. The

  • 52:02

    question I asked you 30 minutes ago,

  • 52:06

    the answer is no.

  • 52:06

    No. The answer is

  • 52:08

    flat out no. I don't think this is push

  • 52:10

    at all. Like, what are you talking

  • 52:11

    about? Kanye [ __ ] has been declining.

  • 52:14

    He's been doing all this [ __ ] to get

  • 52:15

    his fame back to get his I hate the

  • 52:17

    word. His shit's not selling the same.

  • 52:19

    He's selling sneakers. This is a

  • 52:20

    complete Kanye. Push has nothing to do

  • 52:22

    with this.

  • 52:22

    Ignore my whole argument and treat my

  • 52:24

    question independently.

  • 52:26

    Okay, I just answered no. [ __ ] no.

  • 52:28

    And Parks feels the same. But I I will

  • 52:29

    say I will say Push made it clear that

  • 52:32

    anytime [ __ ] go at Kanye

  • 52:34

    and we know and we know Push don't give

  • 52:36

    his fight. So anytime a [ __ ] talking to

  • 52:38

    Kanye, they talking to Push.

  • 52:39

    Who do you have in in Cole versus Push

  • 52:42

    if it if it were to occur?

  • 52:44

    It's a [ __ ]

  • 52:46

    No, this is a bonfire.

  • 52:48

    No, it's not cooking.

  • 52:50

    No, it's not tough. It's not tough.

  • 52:52

    It's not So I love Cole, but

  • 52:54

    me too, but I until I hear somebody in

  • 52:56

    that arena.

  • 52:57

    Yeah, exactly. We're not rolling.

  • 52:58

    We've never seen Cole battle.

  • 53:01

    And last time I saw a push battle, I

  • 53:03

    felt like it was insensitive.

  • 53:05

    Right.

  • 53:06

    So, I don't know who side y'all want me

  • 53:09

    to go with.

  • 53:10

    We saw the thing.

  • 53:11

    We saw Cole battle a little bit though.

  • 53:12

    But the reason why I can't I can't

  • 53:14

    because you got to we got to remember

  • 53:15

    the reason why it got

  • 53:17

    Hold up. I don't want to be rude to you.

  • 53:21

    This isn't a a disc record.

  • 53:23

    I'm still a little tired of those high

  • 53:24

    hats.

  • 53:24

    Yeah. I'm not I'm not giving that

  • 53:27

    That does nothing for me.

  • 53:30

    Oh push.

  • 53:31

    All right. This isn't fair.

  • 53:32

    Oh, you're in trouble now.

  • 53:34

    This isn't fair. Oh, push a push let you

  • 53:37

    do that.

  • 53:38

    Oh yay.

  • 53:40

    I'm going to get you and y'all going to

  • 53:41

    die. Telling the truth now. I won't even

  • 53:43

  • 53:45

    I'm going to kill you and you going to

  • 53:47

    be dead. I'mma be chilling and watching

  • 53:49

    They will never see me.

  • 53:52

    No. No.

  • 53:53

    Add this to Joe Button sings the hits

  • 53:55

    thread on Twitter. I can't do that. I

  • 53:57

    can't do that because I

  • 53:59

    trust my friend. He bought me a rolly. I

  • 54:01

    wouldn't tell you. He told me to tell

  • 54:02

    you. I would

  • 54:04
