    like this has nothing to do with what

  • 4:23

    you have

  • 4:25

    so i'm old enough to remember to when uh

  • 4:36

    know when it was oxycontin

    with like women that are like

  • 8:29

    significantly younger like maybe

  • 8:31

    eight nine years younger than you like

    the energy levels eight nineties next

  • 8:35

    year

  • 8:35

    yeah like like the energy levels are

  • 8:37

    just like it's a difference that's why

  • 8:40

    uh that's why you just gotta lock him in

  • 8:41

    the missionary [ __ ] face to face

  • 8:43

    yeah but it's only so smart

  • 8:47

    even that starts to wear on you after a

  • 8:48

    while once i attach that [ __ ]

  • 8:51

    uh hip to her leg to her hip with my arm

  • 8:54

    yeah she ain't going away i saw him send

  • 8:57

    your little hyper ass down

  • 8:59

    i saw a girl tweet uh men in missionary

  • 9:01

    is our version of twerking and i got

  • 9:03

    really upset

  • 9:05

    that's that's just nasty that's funny

  • 9:07

    that's nasty to think about

  • 9:09

    that's nasty to think about but when you

  • 9:11

    get older like you got to start doing

  • 9:12

    [ __ ] like

  • 9:13

    you can't [ __ ] no more we be twerking i

  • 9:15

    mean

  • 9:16

    you be gyrating your hips a little bit i

  • 9:18

    mean

  • 9:20

    i just don't want to think about it

  • 9:24

    it's like don't say that though like

  • 9:25

    don't put it like that but you

  • 9:26

    definitely get to a point where it's

  • 9:28

    like all right

  • 9:28

    you got to start like the [ __ ] days

  • 9:30

    oh yeah remember all the shits you used

  • 9:32

    to think you could do like pick up and

  • 9:33

    uh you know against the wall and putting

  • 9:35

    uh you got to make love now you can

  • 9:37

    still do that

  • 9:37

    i wasn't good at that when it was in

  • 9:40

    that was number your forte [ __ ] almost

  • 9:42

    had a hernia

  • 9:44

    trying to [ __ ] around with it you got to

  • 9:45

    know who you could pick up

  • 9:48

    you can't just pick up the thicker ones

  • 9:49

    like if you ain't been in the gym

  • 9:51

    don't play yourself i've been locked

  • 9:53

    into scenarios where she was having a

  • 9:55

    blast

  • 9:55

    up there like if she was at the rodeo

  • 9:57

    and i was dying

  • 9:58

    i'm trying to hold that [ __ ] up with my

  • 10:00

    thigh muscles

  • 10:02

    you just keep getting lower and lower

  • 10:05

    you don't want to you don't want to

  • 10:06

    think you solved it like

  • 10:07

    i got you then you could feel that

  • 10:09

    moment when she's fearful now

  • 10:10

    you can feel it in the [ __ ] she feels

  • 10:12

    slipping she feels slipping yeah i'm

  • 10:13

    trashed

  • 10:14

    everybody getting older you gotta make

  • 10:18

    love now you gotta massage and talk

  • 10:20

    you know that's you know the the wisdom

  • 10:22

    of being a wildly old veteran in bed you

  • 10:24

    know

  • 10:24

    you gotta know maybe you're more

  • 10:26

    efficient you're a little more efficient

  • 10:27

    yeah you know you're struggling or just

  • 10:29

    eat [ __ ] for way longer that's part of

  • 10:31

    the wiley veteran

  • 10:32

    even that

  • 10:35

    but even that you're going to bring it

  • 10:36

    up here i'm going to lay down

  • 10:38

    [Laughter]

  • 10:41

    come on that's okay you're going to

  • 10:43

    break it up here

  • 10:48

    comforter how would your knees and help

  • 11:01

    [Music]

  • 11:03

    i'm just saying you talking about sex

  • 11:05

    and i just think about all the different

  • 11:07

    things

  • 11:07

    i would have to factor in to a

  • 11:10

    confrontation before it occurred

  • 11:11

    you eat [ __ ] under the blinkers yeah

  • 11:14

    it's too hot joe's a sick [ __ ] yeah

  • 11:18

    of the blanket man

  • 11:21

    if this is a safe space i'll share with

  • 11:23

    y'all my my move okay

  • 11:26

    steamy

  • 11:30

    and then you reveal yourself don't take

  • 11:33

    none of these notes don't listen to none

  • 11:34

    of this [ __ ]

    the opposite of a wily veteran not

  • 11:40

    absolutely

  • 11:42

    other or it had nothing to do with them

  • 15:32

    right he was angry that day now i'm

  • 15:34

    gonna take it out on this person

  • 15:36

    yeah i stay home yeah i'm always in

  • 15:42

    house yeah but then i'm home thinking

  • 15:56

    y'all safe at home man

  • 15:57

    anyway um come on where do we start

  • 15:59

    where do we start 20 minutes in

  • 16:01

    uh let's start with some hip-hop let's

  • 16:02

    start with something hip-hop well we got

  • 16:04

    uh we had a little change to the verses

  • 16:06

    we had a little last minute audible joe

  • 16:08

    called it last week yeah last minute

  • 16:10

    audible

  • 16:11

    uh they bring in gucci for jeezy

  • 16:14

    no gucci for ti yeah well i think joe

  • 16:17

    no they bought him they brought in gucci

  • 16:19

    to battle jesus

  • 16:20

    in place of t.i yeah who was originally

  • 16:24

    slated

  • 16:24

    for this battle um of course when this

  • 16:27

    news

  • 16:28

    was announced everybody posted it it was

  • 16:30

    a really big deal

  • 16:32

    and i thought it was fake even when i

  • 16:33

    well even when i said it to y'all

  • 16:35

    last week off my your reaction was

  • 16:38

    that's not going to happen

  • 16:39

    that can't happen how could it happen

  • 16:41

    and if it did are they doing it in the

  • 16:42

    same room like the rest of them

  • 16:44

    uh so they are doing it in the same room

  • 16:47

    they are

  • 16:48

    they are they will be in the same room

  • 16:50

    oh that's a big deal

  • 16:51

    this is important it is but we can go

  • 16:53

    further but this is important

  • 16:55

    it's important that we have this versus

  • 16:58

    i would imagine they had a conversation

  • 17:00

    before actually ever even posted

  • 17:02

    absolutely and then i thought that

  • 17:03

    and then gucci's caption was yo tell

  • 17:05

    buddy

  • 17:06

    and after i saw tell buddy i said maybe

  • 17:08

    they didn't have a conversation

  • 17:10

    but no they definitely had a

  • 17:11

    conversation because this is a real life

  • 17:13

    when was the last time you said tell

  • 17:14

    buddy and they was your buddy

  • 17:16

    no but i think that's part of it i think

  • 17:18

    that's part of it that's part of the

  • 17:20

    the the theatrics that's part of selling

  • 17:22

    the the verses to make it seem like

  • 17:25

    there's still a lot of tension between

  • 17:27

    them to still throw little subliminals

  • 17:28

    like

  • 17:29

    tell little buddy you know snow calling

  • 17:32

    them snow cone

  • 17:32

    i'm positive there's tension between

  • 17:34

    them still now how they how they go

  • 17:36

    about that

  • 17:37

    tension i'm sure it's a lot of

  • 17:38

    challenges maybe yeah but i'm sure

  • 17:40

    i'm sure they had a conversation with

  • 17:43

    each other before they're not gonna have

  • 17:44

    their first conversation and when we see

  • 17:46

    them

  • 17:46

    and what are they going to call them

  • 17:47

    snow cone yeah

  • 17:49

    buddy and snow cone yeah okay

  • 17:52

    and then jeezy fired back make sure it's

  • 17:55

    the real you and not the clone

  • 17:59

    i didn't see that that's pretty funny so

  • 18:00

    they're both firing shots

  • 18:02

    and somehow i'm home and still afraid

  • 18:05

    yeah a little bit yeah it's gonna be

  • 18:08

    interesting

  • 18:09

    i didn't think this would happen i

  • 18:10

    didn't think they would be in the same

  • 18:11

    room but it's important

  • 18:13

    and i'm glad that t.i that t.i uh

  • 18:16

    bowed out gracefully and gave the

  • 18:18

    culture you know helped

  • 18:20

    give her reasoning yeah the reason was

  • 18:23

    this is the one that it's supposed to be

  • 18:24

    oh okay gucci and jesus they felt like

  • 18:26

    the culture needed everything um morgan

  • 18:28

    said

  • 18:29

    yeah this is just important for uh you

  • 18:31

    know if you know the history between

  • 18:33

    these two

  • 18:33

    wait before we dig back into this rory

  • 18:35

    brought up a hypothetical scenario that

  • 18:37

    he saw at that

  • 18:38

    time no no let's get in and get out of

  • 18:40

    this one really quick that's it i saw a

  • 18:42

  • 18:43

    uh ti versus lil wayne that when i asked

  • 18:46

  • 18:47

    legitimacy to it and then they pulled it

  • 18:49

    offline because it wasn't

  • 18:50

    officially confirmed but that's what

  • 18:51

    they was trying to do huh

  • 22:05

    he's in the drakenhole category for me

  • 22:07

    with versus yeah those are the only

  • 22:09

    people i think you should [ __ ] with

  • 22:11

    outside of the producers like dre and

  • 22:12

    that i'm just saying rappers obviously

  • 22:14

    all right well off of that one back to

  • 22:16

    uh gucci and uh jeezy who

  • 22:18

    what do you what do i have going on

  • 22:20

    there and then tell me why the culture

  • 22:21

    needs this right now

  • 22:22

    how this couldn't be a better time um

  • 22:26

    i'm sorry that's just fine and you never

  • 22:30

    scooted over

  • 22:30

    i'm immature [ __ ] tell me why this is

  • 22:33

    what the culture needed

  • 22:35

    right there's over the culture real

  • 22:36

    quick

  • 22:39

    that was the most formal [ __ ] i ever

  • 22:41

    heard him

  • 22:42

    take away i was so serious though

  • 22:47

    i know take it away james because we all

  • 22:50

    started with

  • 22:51

    this is good we need this right now

  • 22:53

    right it was just the way you said it

  • 22:54

    never mind uh i think that jeezy is

  • 22:57

    probably the favorite in this

  • 22:59

    i think he is i think he has the more

  • 23:01

    you know we are such a new york podcast

  • 23:03

    no that's why i'm scared no people from

  • 23:05

    here can we call someone from atlanta ah

  • 23:07

    now you want to have in atlanta legs

  • 23:10

    no i mean no but people from atlanta

  • 23:12

    have been saying the same thing hey

  • 23:14

    brandon just left atlanta but they're

  • 23:15

    not in atlanta

  • 23:15

    they've been saying the same thing like

  • 23:16

    jeezy has the more uh

  • 23:19

    he has more popular records like gucci

  • 23:22

    obviously is a

  • 23:23

    is a street legend he has records as

  • 23:25

    well but i think jeezy's obviously just

  • 23:27

    the

  • 23:28

    bigger selling act he has the more

  • 23:30

    popular record so

  • 23:31

    you know i think it'll be more

  • 23:33

    importantly the fact that they just in

  • 23:34

    the same room doing this is

  • 23:36

    is the win that's the story i'll put it

  • 23:37

    this way i think jeezy will win the

  • 23:39

    popular vote

  • 23:40

    gucci may win the electoral college yeah

  • 23:46

    okay i like how you put that like i

  • 23:48

    think like we were not we did not live

  • 23:49

    in atlanta when gucci's mixtape [ __ ] was

  • 23:52

    completely running atlanta

  • 23:53

    so we don't have the same view of this

  • 23:56

    we were up

  • 23:57

    here where gz records probably were

  • 24:00

    playing a lot more

  • 24:01

    because he was just bigger on a pop type

  • 24:04

    rap space but i think jesus just has he

  • 24:07

    has a lot of like

  • 24:08

    cult classic records as well like street

  • 24:11

    records they both do

  • 24:12

    you know what i mean like and jesus's

  • 24:14

    got some hits but the sa

  • 24:15

    the same thing i said about ti and jeezy

  • 24:18

    where i was like alright you could play

  • 24:19

    your

  • 24:19

    blurred line [ __ ] but how's that going

  • 24:21

    to go against a tm 101 record

  • 24:24

    you can now say that with gz playing a

  • 24:26

    hit record versus gucci playing some

  • 24:27

    [ __ ] that is yeah

  • 24:29

    that's more loved in the streets yeah i

  • 24:31

    don't know it sounds like a tough

  • 24:32

    matchup to me for gucci

  • 24:34

    i love gucci but gz has

  • 24:37

    big hit records that are not poppy

  • 24:39

    either like yeah i don't know you

  • 24:41

    shouldn't come to us

  • 24:42

    for this that's true yeah but i don't

  • 24:43

    even care about like

  • 24:45

    the score well we're giving our new york

  • 24:47

    opinion well yeah that's where we're

  • 24:49

    from we can't help it

  • 24:50

    but i don't to me it's not even about

  • 24:52

    the score the record just the fact that

  • 24:53

    they're doing this in the same room

  • 24:55

    um i would love to just see the dialogue

  • 24:57

    between them yeah

  • 24:58

    because a lot of these records have a

  • 25:00

    lot of history

  • 25:01

    in the streets in atlanta it's a lot of

  • 25:03

    like lines and bars and a lot of their

  • 25:04

    records

  • 25:05

    yeah so it's just gonna be interesting

  • 25:07

    to see them sit there and dissect that

  • 25:09

    and

  • 25:10

    and i'm hoping that we get like a real

  • 25:12

    lengthy conversation

  • 25:14

    between them too yeah i mean it goes

  • 25:15

    back to what we were talking about last

  • 25:16

    week uh with og's

  • 25:18

    talking about the violence that's

  • 25:19

    happening with young artists like

  • 25:21

    who better to do it than these two

  • 25:23

    absolutely absolutely so that's why

  • 25:25

    to me this is this is perfect yeah you

  • 25:28

    know yeah this is today's version of

  • 25:29

    we're all in the same gang

  • 25:31

    yeah yeah like in what it symbolizes

  • 25:35

    uh as far as this battle goes musically

  • 25:39

    i have i have jeezy winning um

  • 25:43

    like maul i didn't really get into a

  • 25:44

    score count in my head

  • 25:47

    um i just have jeezy winning if it's

  • 25:50

    only about

  • 25:51

    music now all those intangible things

  • 25:56

    that i think lead to a w

  • 25:59

    i kind of favor gucci with gucci i think

  • 26:02

    is probably a better a

  • 26:04

    r today than jeezy is so when you get

  • 26:07

    into the placement they're both pretty

  • 26:08

    good at ours actually

  • 26:11

    for sure but gucci has fathered

  • 26:13

    absolutely all of my

  • 26:15

    atlanta i know yeah i don't want to step

  • 26:16

    on what you're saying because yes jeezy

  • 26:18

    is gucci's has manifested in ways that

  • 26:23

    i agree his placement of records i think

  • 26:27

    will be kind of crazy

  • 26:28

    one two like i say before every one of

  • 26:31

    these battles that

  • 26:32

    the big bro effect who big bros

  • 26:35

    who little bros who or big bros who

  • 26:39

    jeezy is a man so i don't i don't

  • 26:41

    picture him that way but anybody that

  • 26:43

    has been a little brawled on the verses

  • 26:44

    has been a man i didn't picture them

  • 26:46

    that way uh

  • 26:48

    i think with with their history though i

  • 26:50

    don't know if there'll be any big bro

  • 26:51

    low bro energy

  • 26:53

    every time we it's always there yeah but

  • 26:56

    there's in the subtle

  • 26:57

    ways in the subtlest of ways it's always

  • 26:59

    there

  • 27:00

    yeah you got to kind of be able to see

  • 27:02

    it and dissect it yourself

  • 27:03

    yeah they're they're they're men so i

  • 27:05

    don't think there's gonna be anything

  • 27:07

    overtly

  • 27:08

    obvious or disrespectful or i think

  • 27:11

    they'll be very polite like you said i

  • 27:12

    think they've spoke

  • 27:13

    spoke before been in the same place

  • 27:14

    before i think all that

  • 27:16

    i don't know if they've i'm not i don't

  • 27:17

    think they've been in the same room yet

  • 27:20

    but i think i'm i'm almost positive

  • 27:22

    they've had a conversation

  • 27:24

    like i'm willing to say that when t.i

  • 27:26

    had jeezy on his podcast and they were

  • 27:28

    discussing it i don't think jeezy had

  • 27:29

    mentioned and please correct me if i'm

  • 27:31

    wrong that they had a conversation

  • 27:33

    or pieced anything up at that time that

  • 27:35

    was a while ago though a couple months

  • 27:37

    it was that long yeah what went that

  • 27:38

    long in order for them to both agree to

  • 27:39

    this i'm pretty sure that they both had

  • 27:41

    a conversation they talked

  • 27:43

    i don't i don't think they've been in

  • 27:45

    the same room yet um

  • 27:46

    if they have great but either way i'm

  • 27:49

    really looking forward to this

  • 27:50

    um because again it's just the timing of

  • 27:53

    it all

  • 27:53

    yeah is uh is it's perfect you know just

  • 27:56

    two men with a history

  • 27:58

    of of being in the streets in atlanta

  • 28:00

    and it being a beef between them and

  • 28:03

    beef amongst crews and then the look is

  • 28:05

    going to be important so you don't

  • 28:06

    change like you said that

  • 28:07

    i don't know uh when i last few times

  • 28:09

    i've seen

  • 28:10

    jeezy he's kept it low him and just a

  • 28:13

    few other people

  • 28:14

    well that's part of growing up growing

  • 28:17

    as a man

  • 28:18

    you don't you don't you don't you start

  • 28:20

    to value what's

  • 28:22

    important and what it means you know i

  • 28:24

    mean like we've watched the

  • 28:25

    transformation of gucci no 1 000

  • 28:27

    but if i needed to call [ __ ] dill to

  • 28:30

    pop up tomorrow he could

  • 28:32

    oh absolutely that's still yeah you i

  • 28:34

    mean but that's just man [ __ ] and that

  • 28:35

    [ __ ]

  • 28:36

    that i don't know about so i won't speak

  • 28:37

    on it but to me that's important

  • 28:39

    who shows up with jeezy who shows up

  • 28:42

    with gucci what is gucci wearing

  • 28:45

    what is his wife wearing who has tricks

  • 28:47

    like that look the optic

  • 28:49

    of it all of that stuff we saw rick ross

  • 28:52

    yeah yeah yeah yeah man so this is

  • 28:55

    thursday i'm really excited about it

  • 28:57

    me too does this have uh does this have

  • 29:00

    atlanta divided

  • 29:01

    like we talking just as i'm hoping it's

  • 29:03

    bringing atlanta

  • 29:05

    not divided seriously like beef divided

  • 29:09

    sometimes i'm talking about the fan

  • 29:10

    fanfare yeah oh yeah it's definitely

  • 29:12

    because

  • 29:13

    atlanta rides for atlanta and now it's

  • 29:15

    atlanta on atlanta but that's what it's

  • 29:16

    for though you you have you have

  • 29:18

    you know just like nas and jay it's new

  • 29:21

    york you know what i mean like it was

  • 29:22

    it was a divide between knowledge fans

  • 29:23

    and jay fans during that time

  • 29:26

    um so it's the same thing here i think

  • 29:27

    it's just a divide amongst the fans but

  • 29:28

    all in fun

  • 29:29

    yeah all in just you know reminiscing

  • 29:32

    and listening to records that were out

  • 29:33

    at a time where you may have been in a

  • 29:35

    different place in your life

  • 29:36

    right you know reminiscing on some

  • 29:37

    things um it's a celebration of how far

  • 29:40

    both of these men have come the

  • 29:42

    transformations that both of them have

  • 29:43

    made

  • 29:43

    i'll cry if they get up there looking

  • 29:45

    like uh uh who was that uh

  • 29:47

    beanie man and uh elephant man oh oh you

  • 29:50

    know if it's like that

  • 29:51

    then that's like mini man and um body

  • 29:54

    killer bounty killer yeah i'm i always

  • 29:56

    do that i'm so sorry

  • 29:57

    um but yeah if that type of camaraderie

  • 29:59

    is on display

  • 30:00

    yeah that's that's huge that's meant

  • 30:02

    i'll catch allergies

  • 30:03

    yeah that would be amazing yeah that's

  • 30:05

    major because if you know the history of

  • 30:06

    them too

  • 30:07

    as well that would be amazing to see but

  • 30:09

    it just sends the right message at this

  • 30:11

    time i think you know what i mean yeah

  • 30:12

    i agree as questions i laughed at you

  • 30:13

    joe you you were correct this is what is

  • 30:15

    needed right now

  • 30:16

    yeah it's cool to grow old and be

  • 30:18

    engaged and be married and have kids and

  • 30:21

    have a family and

  • 30:22

    you know pass the baton and put the

  • 30:24

    younger generation on create

  • 30:25

    opportunities for the next up

  • 30:27

    like that's the real cool [ __ ] [ __ ] yeah

  • 30:30

    and i think that's what both of these

  • 30:31

    men represent in their

  • 30:32

    in their city is like yo you know we

  • 30:34

    y'all know what we've been through but

  • 30:35

    this is what

  • 30:37

    this is what you should look forward to

  • 30:38

    yeah i mean being a family man and

  • 30:40

    representing your family and just if

  • 30:43

    it's old beef it's old [ __ ]

  • 30:44

    bury that [ __ ] put it to the side and

  • 30:46

    everybody move on and be happy i really

  • 30:48

    like where

  • 30:48

    jeezy sits uh today

  • 30:51

    in terms of uh uh his new album coming

  • 30:55

    cool

  • 30:55

    he got his talk show uh he has a podcast

  • 30:59

    surrounded around uh some uh surrounding

  • 31:02

    the album i like what what's going on

  • 31:04

    with him

  • 31:06

    yeah for sure and and gucci too we've

  • 31:07

    seen that i don't even call it a rebrand

  • 31:10

    it was like a real life when he got out

  • 31:11

    of jail of

  • 31:13

    just how positive he's been healthy mind

  • 31:16

    his business chilling like i've i've

  • 31:18

    loved both of them getting older the

  • 31:20

    evolution of them both

  • 31:22

    yeah they've been great electricals of

  • 31:23

    hip-hop getting older yeah it looks good

  • 31:26

    so them doing this together i think is

  • 31:27

    amazing and shout out to swizz

  • 31:29

    and tim for for putting this together

  • 31:30

    because this one is much more important

  • 31:32

    than i think a lot of people realize

  • 31:33

    agreed it's cool to grow old and

  • 31:37

    classy yeah i was watching uh i was

  • 31:40

    watching 50 on the breakfast club this

  • 31:41

    morning

  • 31:42

    and they asked all right you see the

  • 31:44

    jeezy and uh

  • 31:46

    and gucci getting together do the verses

  • 31:47

    so does this mean like maybe you and

  • 31:49

    jack could squash it and maybe

  • 31:50

    y'all could do versus no

  • 31:56

    50's go to 50. no that note is going to

  • 32:00

    be

  • 32:01

    long long term no that's a long that's a

  • 32:04

    long standing

  • 32:05

    till definition we probably said the

  • 32:07

    same thing about this one so

  • 32:08

    we did yeah you can't predict the future

  • 32:10

    yeah

  • 32:12

    exactly like i i hear i understand 50

  • 32:15

    saying that now

  • 32:16

    yeah with time over time every anything

  • 32:20

    is possible so

  • 32:22

    uh come on let's get into some of some

  • 32:25

    of some of why this is important

  • 32:27

    right now anyway with the current state

  • 32:30

    of

  • 32:30

    everything that is happening in hip-hop

  • 32:32

    and that has happened in hip-hop this

  • 32:34

    year

  • 32:34

    in terms of the violence and the murders

  • 32:36

    and

  • 32:38

    yeah it's just a lot it's a lot yeah

  • 32:40

    it's some

  • 32:41

    i mean at some point we just got to

  • 32:42

    address it for what it is it's um

  • 32:45

    it's it's a it's just a the energy

  • 32:47

    that's surrounding

  • 32:48

    the culture right now you know i mean

  • 32:50

    with the with the content the type of

  • 32:52

    music the type of lyrics that

  • 32:53

    you know we champion hasn't that always

  • 32:56

    been been here though

  • 32:57

    this hasn't been this because again we

  • 33:00

    like how we talked about a while ago i

  • 33:02

    said it's easier for artists now

  • 33:04

    to get on it's easier for artists to be

  • 33:06

    heard

  • 33:07

    and with that comes i don't care about

  • 33:09

    that part i care about like what error

  • 33:12

    is

  • 33:12

    whatever's the scariest and i ain't

  • 33:14

    going to hold you

  • 33:15

    it's scary right now what well again

  • 33:18

    because

  • 33:19

    we don't let them digitalizing things

  • 33:22

    uh understate that it's scary don't let

  • 33:25

    the pandemic and the fact that you stuck

  • 33:26

    in the house

  • 33:28

    understate it's spooky out there i

  • 33:31

    this is feeling like 90s to me feeling

  • 33:34

    i ain't outside i think it's nice

  • 33:35

    because i don't well that's what i'm

  • 33:37

    saying to you

  • 33:38

    just we got to be honest it's the music

  • 33:40

    you know what i mean like uh

  • 33:41

    because now the gang culture can't roll

  • 33:44

    with that

  • 33:44

    no it is the music what do you think the

  • 33:46

    music is just reflecting would have

  • 33:48

    no let me explain let me explain why

  • 33:50

    because you have

  • 33:52

    it's a lot of banging on wax now right

  • 33:55

    and when i say that meaning like we've

  • 33:57

    always had rappers and artists that

  • 33:59

    were from cities and were gang affiliate

  • 34:01

    affiliated and

  • 34:02

    were gangs they were gang members right

  • 34:04

    but they weren't on wax

  • 34:06

    saying [ __ ] that side [ __ ] them when we

  • 34:08

    see them we killing them that other

  • 34:10

    that wasn't part of it like i i knew

  • 34:12

    snoop was a [ __ ] growing up i don't

  • 34:14

    remember hearing him

  • 34:15

    banging on bloods and saying it's on

  • 34:17

    when we see them and i don't remember

  • 34:18

    that no maybe not to the degree

  • 34:21

    you understand what i'm saying so it's

  • 34:22

    like

  • 34:24

    somehow the gang culture is is magnified

  • 34:27

    in hip-hop now where it's like

  • 34:29

    you're almost not cool if you're not

  • 34:30

    from a game well i think that uh

  • 34:32

    you actually made a good point about the

  • 34:34

    the ease of creating and releasing music

  • 34:36

    now

  • 34:37

    probably lends it more to where guys

  • 34:39

    that were heavy heavy in the streets

  • 34:40

    right maybe didn't want to take the time

  • 34:42

    out to go to a studio

  • 34:44

    and all that kind of thing back then as

  • 34:45

    much as now it's easy you can just do it

  • 34:47

    on your laptop at home and see if

  • 34:48

    somebody that's what i'm saying it's

  • 34:49

    easier for these artists now because

  • 34:51

    you know when we were in the streets

  • 34:52

    younger

  • 34:54

    it had to be a dis it had to be an event

  • 34:56

    of things that happened for us to get a

  • 34:57

    record where a rapper was saying yo [ __ ]

  • 34:58

    him

  • 34:59

    it was like a diss record that was a

  • 35:00

    moment yeah now with these younger dudes

  • 35:03

    every record is one of those records

  • 35:06

    it's like a every record is a single is

  • 35:08

    a diss record now

  • 35:09

    you know what i'm saying when they talk

  • 35:10

    about somebody that killed or somebody

  • 35:11

    got beefed or when they seen him it's

  • 35:13

    like

  • 35:13

    almost every record people are partying

  • 35:15

    to it so now you're taking that energy

  • 35:17

    in

  • 35:17

    it's a real thing it's the the energy is

  • 35:19

    real let me ask because i think the

  • 35:21

    spike in violence isn't

  • 35:22

    just just rapper specific i wouldn't say

  • 35:25

    that's just that i think

  • 35:26

    no i think not only the music because i

  • 35:29

    do understand your point

  • 35:31

    the ability to go on the internet

  • 35:34

    when you have a beef with somebody where

  • 35:36

    everyone can see it

  • 35:38

    and the ego is bruised much easier may

  • 35:40

    play

  • 35:41

    if not more than a song because not

  • 35:44

    every single person that is being killed

  • 35:46

    is a rapper or anyone in these gangs

  • 35:48

    of course i think it's the ability for

  • 35:49

    everyone to see uh in

  • 35:51

    a disagreement in

  • 35:54

    plain view where an ego can be bruised

  • 35:57

    would probably add more to it rather

  • 35:59

    than

  • 36:00

    just music i think that just reflects

  • 36:03

    what's happening

  • 36:04

    as is well again like i said they're

  • 36:06

    banging on each other through music

  • 36:08

    they're using music

  • 36:09

    and on instagram exactly but it's all it

  • 36:11

    all comes into the music

  • 36:13

    i don't even want to why i don't yes

  • 36:15

    what y'all what y'all are saying is true

  • 36:18

    but my focus is not just on it benny's

  • 36:20

    not in the game right

  • 36:22

    well what am i talking about quite a few

  • 36:26

    other people that have been shot this

  • 36:28

    year that

  • 36:29

    weren't in the gang at all you know so

  • 36:31

    when we're speaking about

  • 36:32

    the energy yes that that gang culture

  • 36:36

    and what they're doing on the songs

  • 36:37

    plays a part

  • 36:39

    but i would like us to address the weird

  • 36:42

    energy

  • 36:43

    not that 2020 has had because we're kind

  • 36:45

    of all aware of that but

  • 36:47

    that is surrounding hip-hop and

  • 36:50

    entertainment

  • 36:51

    as a whole and we've always kind of

  • 36:55

    we've always kind of mirrored or

  • 36:58

    the streets has always been has been

  • 37:01

    government like the government is

  • 37:02

    government like

  • 37:03

    hip hop is a street culture like yeah

  • 37:04

    it's like the streets to tell you what's

  • 37:05

    going on so i'm just saying

  • 37:06

    like with

  • 37:10

    mental health plummeting or sky

  • 37:12

    skyrocketing however you want to look at

  • 37:13

    it

  • 37:13

    yeah the way it is with unemployment

  • 37:16

    skyrocketing the way it is with drugs

  • 37:18

    being either expensive or harder to come

  • 37:20

    by than we're used to there's just a lot

  • 37:22

    going on

  • 37:23

    in the in the in the scope of the

  • 37:26

    country

  • 37:27

    that says to me or anybody that's come

  • 37:29

    that comes from an

  • 37:30

    impoverished place oh the streets the

  • 37:33

    streets is hungry now

  • 37:35

    the streets are the streets are

  • 37:36

    streeting but i look at it differently

  • 37:38

    and the streets are always going to

  • 37:40

    street yeah but but see i look at it

  • 37:42

    differently because

  • 37:43

    you know we had this talk a while ago

  • 37:45

    and

  • 37:46

    i don't i don't really look at it from a

  • 37:48

    poverty standpoint as much as i used to

  • 37:50

    because

  • 37:50

    these dudes now killing each other with

  • 37:52

    thousand dollar designer sneakers on

  • 37:54

    with thousand dollar phones in their

  • 37:55

    hands with [ __ ] they're jumping out

  • 37:57

    of foreign cars they got

  • 37:59

    rolex's on they got like 80 000 watches

  • 38:02

    on and they shooting at each other

  • 38:03

    so it's not a poverty thing it's not

  • 38:06

    poverty like people are not

  • 38:07

    robbing each other because it's poverty

  • 38:09

    they're not it's just like

  • 38:11

    to them they feel like that's just the

  • 38:12

    cool [ __ ] that's the fly [ __ ]

  • 38:14

    like i got the grip on me i'll back this

  • 38:16

    [ __ ] out and i'll edit [ __ ] like

  • 38:17

    that's that's cool it's look that like

  • 38:19

    that's cool now and

  • 38:21

    it's like i said it's the energy you're

  • 38:22

    in the club all night you hear the music

  • 38:24

    you know when i pop this i turn into a

  • 38:26

    demon i'm on this time and it's like

  • 38:27

    you keep hearing this [ __ ] after a while

  • 38:29

    it's like it starts to consume you

  • 38:31

    and you start to feel like yo i don't

  • 38:32

    have a good night unless we go outside

  • 38:34

    and jump a [ __ ] right now

  • 38:36

    oh it's not a lit night unless we go

  • 38:37

    outside and we let the grip off right

  • 38:38

    now like

  • 38:39

    that's what the cool [ __ ] is with this

  • 38:41

    generation

  • 38:42

    and it's all through the music to me

  • 38:44

    that's what it looks like to me it's all

  • 38:45

    through the music there is something

  • 38:47

    about

  • 38:47

    that it's a real thing it's a real thing

  • 38:50

    i don't blame it on poverty because

  • 38:51

    [ __ ] got on

  • 38:52

    two thousand dollar outfits shooting at

  • 38:54

    each other

  • 38:56

    because you're still conditioned from

  • 38:58

    your uh

  • 38:59

    from your improvised neighborhoods yeah

  • 39:01

    but my thing is if you get into the bag

  • 39:02

    if you touching paper

  • 39:04

    like you're supposed to start moving

  • 39:05

    away from that type of [ __ ] because you

  • 39:07

    now you don't want to [ __ ] this bag up

  • 39:09

    like that's at least that's how i was

  • 39:11

    raised like yeah you come we all come

  • 39:12

    from the streets

  • 39:13

    we grind but when you get a position now

  • 39:14

    where companies are investing money in

  • 39:16

    you

  • 39:17

    and you don't live in the hood no more

  • 39:18

    you got a nice condo somewhere in the

  • 39:20

    outskirts of the city like

  • 39:21

    you have to start moving yourself oh

  • 39:23

    wait detaching yourself like yo i can't

  • 39:24

    be running around

  • 39:25

    with 20 dudes and everybody got a gun on

  • 39:27

    them i i totally disagree

  • 39:29

    i don't think you have to look at it

  • 39:30

    that way at all higher security that's

  • 39:31

    one of the reasons i've always

  • 39:34

    had a different type of respect for

  • 39:35

    [ __ ] that live by a certain code

  • 39:37

    because at the end of the day what my

  • 39:39

    logic says is you value life different

  • 39:41

    than

  • 39:42

    me like you willing to do a few things

  • 39:45

    you willing to go sit down for 20. you

  • 39:47

    willing to go let it fly

  • 39:49

    you're willing to get shot you're

  • 39:50

    willing to just die but why if we're

  • 39:52

    getting money in life is a little easier

  • 39:53

    now

  • 39:54

    why would you risk that because that may

  • 39:57

    not be where some

  • 39:58

    people place their values in life being

  • 40:00

    easier if i've been doing something for

  • 40:02

    17 years and then i've been doing

  • 40:04

    something for two years

  • 40:05

    like not even in some cases yeah like

  • 40:07

    yeah

  • 40:08

    that's who these people are no i'm i

  • 40:10

    know these people that's but i'm saying

  • 40:11

    that

  • 40:11

    it's the the way it's supposed to go is

  • 40:14

    if we're grinding and we're in the

  • 40:15

    streets we got to do certain things

  • 40:16

    for survival mode right but now when

  • 40:19

    we're away from the more we know how

  • 40:21

    it's supposed to go we know that

  • 40:22

    we you're supposed to do this [ __ ] make

  • 40:24

    a way out and

  • 40:26

    get out and stay out and the goal is to

  • 40:27

    age and take care of your family and put

  • 40:29

    people we know how it's supposed to go

  • 40:31

    i want us to address what we're seeing

  • 40:33

    before our very eyes

  • 40:34

    because i ain't never seen unlike it no

  • 40:36

    me neither i mean either

  • 40:37

    i ain't never felt nothing like that

  • 40:38

    this is this is a totally different

  • 40:40

    rapper's getting popped every other week

  • 40:42

    but again i yeah i my belief is that it

  • 40:45

    comes from

  • 40:46

    guys being able to go and record music

  • 40:49

    and say things disrespectfully towards

  • 40:50

    other people

  • 40:52

    whenever they want put it out to the

  • 40:53

    world whenever they want

  • 40:55

    like it's just the way we're able to

  • 40:56

    consume music hear music

  • 40:58

    find who these guys are social media

  • 41:00

    everybody is like in one circle now

  • 41:02

    this benny story scared the [ __ ] out of

  • 41:04

    me when it got sent to my phone

  • 41:06

    yeah yeah prayer is up for benny by the

  • 41:08

    way

  • 41:09

    prayers up to benny for anybody unaware

  • 41:11

    uh he was in houston he went to walmart

  • 41:14

    with his dude streets had to drop on him

  • 41:16

  • 41:31

    that is the story and thank god that

  • 41:34

    benny is okay

  • 41:35

    but my brain don't go to thank god he's

  • 41:37

    okay first

  • 41:39

    my brain instantly goes to all the

  • 41:41

    million ways that could have ended

  • 41:42

    differently

  • 41:46

    yeah it was um wes had text me that

  • 41:49

    night

  • 41:50

    and uh you know that that [ __ ] me up

  • 41:52

    because he he was just he just texted me

  • 41:54

    like he had just landed back in atlanta

  • 41:56

    and they had told that benny had got

  • 41:58

    shot

  • 41:59

    and when i read that i was just like man

  • 42:02

    i don't only want to hear

  • 42:03

    i only want to look at my phone he was

  • 42:05

    like yo you know you're going to be good

  • 42:07

    just pray and even that was like that's

  • 42:09

    not enough

  • 42:10

    like don't tell me he's going to be good

  • 42:11

    just pray because now i'm sitting at

  • 42:14

    home like

  • 42:15

    what does that even mean yeah you know

  • 42:16

    what i mean but thankfully he's fine

  • 42:18

    uh he's back home resting recovering i

  • 42:21

    haven't spoken to him yet

  • 42:22

    but i was in touch with west and he said

  • 42:24

    you know he's good and he's recovering

  • 42:26

    and and then it bothers me when i have

  • 42:28

    to listen

  • 42:30

    to casual fans and just people

  • 42:34

    talk about [ __ ] after the fact like

  • 42:37

    benny went through what he went through

  • 42:39

    and then oh my god all of these [ __ ]

  • 42:41

    casual fan well why was he at a walmart

  • 42:44

    oh yeah

  • 42:45

    come on man like excuse me

  • 42:49

    like i had to stomp on him like oh fam

  • 42:50

    fam fan fan fan it's okay to just not

  • 42:52

    know what you're talking about let me

  • 42:54

    tell you what every let me tell you what

  • 42:55

    every rapper has done

  • 42:56

    when they hit a city and realized they

  • 42:58

    needed tank tops or something yeah

  • 43:00

    yeah they they gathered up their troops

  • 43:03

    and they went to walmart or the nearest

  • 43:05

    place that you could get some of this

  • 43:06

    stuff yeah

  • 43:06

    everybody's done it but that's kind of

  • 43:08

    walmart in the south is like the corner

  • 43:10

    store

  • 43:12

    but that's kind of my thing about like

  • 43:14

    i'm not going to be the guy to say that

  • 43:16

    benny should have been moving

  • 43:18

    differently because when i read it

  • 43:20

    he moved away [ __ ] will be moving yeah

  • 43:23

    but when the streets get to drop they

  • 43:26

    just have to drop like there's nothing

  • 43:27

    else to

  • 43:28

    and that's that's my point more about

  • 43:29

    just what's going on

  • 43:31

    in the country and how it relates to

  • 43:34

    what's going on in the streets which

  • 43:36

    should relate to

  • 43:38

    our industry and how [ __ ] is getting

  • 43:40

    around out here because we all

  • 43:42

    some of us kind of know this language

  • 43:45

    when you see it

  • 43:47

    it's instinctual this [ __ ] is nuts

  • 43:50

    mo 3 boosie i've been reading mo 3 [ __ ]

  • 43:53

    all weekend

  • 43:54

    yeah like i can't imagine being in that

  • 43:57

    predicament of

  • 43:59

    and rest in peace to my man bo he got he

  • 44:01

    got murdered this way too

  • 44:02

    like when you add a woman's house and

  • 44:05

    then you leave

  • 44:06

    and they get to drop on you so now

  • 44:08

    people that love you were forced to sit

  • 44:10

    here and figure out if you were set up

  • 44:12

    like that's it's just a nut situation oh

  • 44:14

    here it is rambling desperate to get

  • 44:15

    away from the killer

  • 44:16

    yeah this story was nuts yeah in the

  • 44:19

    daytime see that's my thing

  • 44:21

    you go you go you go somewhere you do

  • 44:23

    something you've done a million times

  • 44:24

    you you sleep with you sleep with your

  • 44:25

    chick

  • 44:26

    y'all you intimate with you leave in the

  • 44:28

    morning

  • 44:29

    you know how it is when you leaving in

  • 44:30

    the mornings empty [ __ ] going to

  • 44:31

    neighbors went to work you get in your

  • 44:33

    car you

  • 44:33

    go about your business if the streets is

  • 44:35

    laying up on you

  • 44:37

    it means they were going to lay up on

  • 44:39

    you we were waiting waiting for two

  • 44:40

    weeks

  • 44:41

    yeah i waited for a month till you come

  • 44:42

    out broad daylight on the highway

  • 44:45

    what does it tell you about where the

  • 44:47

    streets are right

  • 44:51

    yeah it's definitely um boosie go out

  • 44:54

    there to to pay respects

  • 44:56

    and they think he coming for vengeance

  • 44:59

    and pop him

  • 45:01

    like what is this telling you about the

  • 45:03

    energy and where the streets are

    don't have to be there every time i see

  • 45:16

    an instasnap of any party i see the

  • 45:18

    street [ __ ] i know

  • 45:21

    i don't have to be there to understand

  • 45:23

    the energy when some of those guys i'm

  • 45:25

    looking at are outside

  • 45:26

    in atlanta i don't have to be there

  • 45:27

    because the same thing exists i know

  • 45:29

    what's going on

  • 45:32

    yeah i can't find another way to tell

  • 45:34

    people to

  • 45:36

    to move cautiously and to be aware

  • 45:40

    when i already assume some of the people

  • 45:42

    in our field

  • 45:43

    are moving that way but if you're not

  • 45:46

    and you're stuck in your own arrogance

  • 45:47

    and i'm not talking anybody in

  • 45:49

    particular please cause y'all know

  • 45:52

    but if we if we stuck in our own

  • 45:55

    arrogance if we stuck

  • 45:56

    if we stuck trying to figure out how to

  • 45:58

    get a quick bag because all the shows

  • 46:00

    have stopped and touring might not come

  • 46:01

    back till 2023 so now we targeting the

  • 46:03

    places that's open guess what [ __ ]

  • 46:05

    hey they are too

  • 46:08

    again i'm not talking to anybody

  • 46:10

    specifically

  • 46:12

    this is more of a psa because i'm home

  • 46:14

    scared to death for y'all

  • 46:18

    my heart stops when these headlines come

  • 46:20

    up or

  • 46:22

    i'm now damn near conditioned to the

  • 46:23

    point every head the beginning

  • 46:25

    beginning of every headline i put it to

  • 46:28

    death

  • 46:29

    they said sinbad had a stroke i put it

  • 46:32

    to death before the word stroke came up

  • 46:35

    that's what this year has been and if

  • 46:39

    you think that the universe is just

  • 46:40

    slipping and this is just about to come

  • 49:18

    you put your chain on you feel good hey

  • 49:20

    even that is uh

  • 49:22

    even that is uh handed down to us

  • 49:24

    generationally from the streets

  • 49:26

    like when when the streets first started

  • 49:28

    it was the furs and the chains

  • 49:30

    and the crews and the car and the

  • 49:31

    boombox and the girls right

  • 49:34

    and that was the status not for how

  • 49:35

    you're doing in life right but for how

  • 49:37

    you're doing in the streets

  • 49:39

    right right every pull-up i ever do ever

  • 49:41

    do or any rapper i sit in front of

  • 49:42

    that's the first thing i go to the

  • 49:43

    chainsaw it's the chains

  • 49:46

    because it's it's it speaks to [ __ ]

  • 49:48

    that know

  • 49:49

    what you need if you want to move that

  • 49:51

    way

  • 49:52

    right that's what i'm saying [ __ ] came

  • 49:54

    right up to me in the park yo

  • 49:56

  • 50:00

  • 50:21

    joe didn't have beef with a soul is what

  • 50:23

  • 50:25

    so happened the people that i was around

  • 50:29

    maybe did and i had no way of knowing

  • 50:32

    so the energy made it right to your

  • 50:34

    [ __ ] car door if you don't

  • 50:37

    see that if you don't feel that if

  • 50:38

    you're not vetting if you don't know the

  • 50:39

    people you with

  • 50:40

    you don't know what they got going on

  • 50:41

    i'm just saying and the car you were in

  • 50:42

    i'm sure

  • 50:43

    said hey that's joe budden on bergen

  • 50:46

    yeah

  • 50:48

    well i mean it was nine cars

  • 50:51

    it was mad cars i mean it didn't matter

  • 50:52

    i felt as safe as i could possibly be

  • 50:56

    i was with [ __ ] that i should you

  • 50:58

    should feel safe with

  • 50:59

    yeah right the streets are the streets a

  • 51:02

    [ __ ] can

  • 51:03

    just get the droplet that's just it's

  • 51:05

    not gonna change man and that's why with

  • 51:07

    this meek [ __ ] like i understand meek

  • 51:09

    put out a tweet

  • 51:11

    well actually i don't know where i stood

  • 51:13

    on this meek put out a tweet and said yo

  • 51:16

    [ __ ] in philly is really talented i'm

  • 51:17

    i'm paraphrasing here i'm not reading

  • 51:19

    [ __ ] in philly is really talented i

  • 51:21

    would come give all the uh

  • 51:22

    young boys the opportunity and the deal

  • 51:24

    but y'all gotta stop killing each other

  • 51:25

    well we'll read the tweet just right

  • 51:26

    here let's let's give him the

  • 51:28

    courtesy of reading his exact words

  • 51:29

    rather than paraphrasing i'll get all

  • 51:31

    the main big artists in philly a deal if

  • 51:33

    they put them bodies behind them and

  • 51:35

    squash them beefs

  • 51:36

    that i hear about got some hot young

  • 51:38

    boys from the city but they're all

  • 51:40

    beefing i read that and thought it was

  • 51:43

    commendable

  • 51:44

    yeah i don't know how he got backlash

  • 51:45

    from that

  • 51:47

    i still don't understand it's

  • 51:48

    unfortunate that that was taken that way

  • 51:50

    he got backlash

  • 51:52

    because of the streets of the streets he

  • 51:54

    got backlash beca and i had to

  • 51:55

    shift through the core to get to the

  • 51:58

    core of this because i'm with you like

  • 52:00

    how do you get backlash from this if you

  • 52:02

    come from the streets you've created

  • 52:04

    jobs and employment for

  • 52:06

    trying to help people you're trying to

  • 52:07

    help others and now you want to

  • 52:09

    reach back and and do give opportunities

  • 52:13

    some other people if they just

  • 52:14

    chill out something sounds sounds good

  • 52:17

    until you put street logic into it then

  • 52:19

    i totally get wider man

  • 52:21

    you see it and that's my thing i don't i

  • 52:23

    don't i don't know anymore because i'm

  • 52:25

    old and disconnected and out of touch

  • 52:28

    but it seems like the philly

  • 52:32

    streets and again i'm not a philly dude

  • 52:34

    or street dude

  • 52:35

    but it seems like the philly streets are

  • 52:37

    saying hey buddy

  • 52:38

    you come from here you come from poverty

  • 52:42

    you rep this [ __ ] you've wrapped it your

  • 52:44

    music speaks for

  • 52:46

    us and to us so how do you not

  • 52:49

    understand

  • 52:50

    if our homies get killed and we ride

  • 52:54

    of course they didn't say that no one

  • 52:55

    said that this is on the internet

  • 52:57

    [ __ ] just talking and y'all don't even

  • 52:59

    like to come here and talk about street

  • 53:00

    [ __ ] but

  • 53:00

    unfortunately you can't escape it

  • 53:02

    anymore hip-hop is here we're at that

  • 53:04

    crossroads

  • 53:05

    yeah but but joe here's my thing what

  • 53:06

    okay so yeah we understand it's a cycle

  • 53:09

    you know they kill my homie we got to go

  • 53:11

    back we got to kill

  • 53:12

    one of them but at what point because

  • 53:15

    that's just a cycle of

  • 53:17

    who's next you know what i'm saying and

  • 53:19

    a guy like meek who is from

  • 53:22

    these same streets who was from these

  • 53:24

    same situations and been in

  • 53:25

    some serious situations himself who has

  • 53:28

    now

  • 53:29

    worked himself into a position where

  • 53:32

    he's living a better life he's providing

  • 53:33

    a better life for his family he's

  • 53:34

    providing a better life for his friends

  • 53:36

    and here he is using his platform to say

  • 53:40

    yo i hear the hot talent that's in my

  • 53:42

    city and i want to

  • 53:44

    reach out to you i don't want to work

  • 53:45

    with y'all but the beefing is a problem

  • 53:47

    like we can't do that

  • 53:49

    if we're trying to create business and

  • 53:51

    create opportunities like it has to

  • 53:52

    we have to stop that and then now he

  • 53:54

    gets backlash for that

  • 53:56

    it's not like this is coming from

  • 53:57

    somebody who has no idea

  • 54:00

    what's going on in these in these cities

  • 54:02

    in the streets he's from there

  • 54:03

    right so to me it's like yeah we know

  • 54:06

    the streets will be the streets but but

  • 54:08

    we are the streets we're from the

  • 54:09

    streets

  • 54:10

    we're the people that live in these

  • 54:11

    neighborhoods so at some point it's like

  • 54:14

    what

  • 54:14

    what we have to make the change and i

  • 54:16

    just don't understand how a guy like me

  • 54:18

    who's reaching back

  • 54:19

    and who's telling everyone on his

  • 54:22

    platform like yo i'm

  • 54:22

    i want to work with the talent in my

  • 54:24

    city i want to create these

  • 54:25

    opportunities

  • 54:27

    but we know there are real life things

  • 54:28

    that are going on they're real

  • 54:29

    situations

  • 54:30

    that we have to stop and we have to put

  • 54:32

    to the side if we're trying

  • 54:33

    to get to a better place i just don't

  • 54:36

    understand how people

  • 54:37

    were mad at him saying that this isn't

  • 54:39

    somebody that never been in the streets

  • 54:41

    and never been in the hood

  • 54:42

    that grew up in the suburbs his whole

  • 54:43

    life and went to you know the best

  • 54:45

    schools and the best university

  • 54:46

    this is a dude that's from these same

  • 54:48

    blocks well documented

  • 54:50

    like that's what my mom meant when she

  • 54:51

    said you take you with you everywhere

  • 54:53

    you go

  • 54:54

    back to your when the surroundings

  • 54:56

    change and

  • 54:57

    uh the situations change for some people

  • 54:59

    their attitude

  • 55:00

    should change listen if you can't stop

  • 55:02

    shooting [ __ ] where you at

  • 55:04

    then what makes me think you about to

  • 55:06

    stop shooting [ __ ] where you go

  • 55:09

    well i think that's what he's saying

  • 55:10

    what is what he's saying

  • 55:12

    so but what is the why are people mad at

  • 55:14

    him saying that though well

  • 55:15

    well it's the philly it's philly that's

  • 55:18

    mad and i would i'm gonna assume that

  • 55:20

    it's because there are more personal

  • 55:21

    details involved that have not been

  • 55:23

    released

  • 55:24

    like your actual ties to certain blocks

  • 55:27

    or situations or

  • 55:28

    just your knowledge of what's happening

  • 55:29

    so i i'm assuming they're saying

  • 55:31

    me you have knowledge of what's going on

  • 55:34

    over here so stop that for the piece

  • 55:37

    [ __ ]

  • 55:39

    and again i'm assuming i don't know i

  • 55:41

    don't know [ __ ]

  • 55:42

    i don't know a thing i'm just here to

  • 55:45

    tell y'all that

  • 55:46

    the energy is it should be blaringly

  • 55:50

    obvious now

  • 55:52

    now if if you know we talk about our

  • 55:54

    head being on a swivel but swivel it

  • 55:56

    faster

  • 55:58

    uh just be careful where you where you

  • 56:01

    go

  • 56:01

    where you move just be careful man

  • 56:05

    we got one month and a half left of this

  • 56:08

    year and i'm hopeful that 2021 will

  • 56:11

    bring about some change

  • 56:12

    i'm hopeful of that i am uh or at least

  • 56:16

    or at least it'll be a better picture of

  • 56:18

    us getting used to whatever this new

  • 56:20

    normal

  • 56:21

    is but if we just running around like

  • 56:23

    chickens with our head cut off

  • 56:25

    uh because our way of living has been

  • 56:27

    impacted that way or or our

  • 56:29

    our means of living has been impacted

  • 56:32

    that way

  • 56:33

    and if you've been blessed enough for

  • 56:34

    your means and way of living to not have

  • 56:36

    been affected just know that

  • 56:38

    there are a bunch of other people that

  • 56:39

    have

  • 56:42

    just be mindful man yeah but also i

  • 56:44

    think that um

  • 56:47

    we just got to stop being so divisive

  • 56:49

    divisive and uh

  • 56:50

    confrontational like i think we got to

  • 56:53

    like

  • 56:54

    move that like shake that that's just

  • 56:55

    something that i think is handed down

  • 56:57

    generational

  • 56:58

    uh we're just very divisive and very

  • 57:01

    confrontational

  • 57:02

    and a lot of that is just ego yeah a lot

  • 57:04

    of that is uh trauma

  • 57:07

    but um at some point we got to put into

  • 57:10

    it

  • 57:11

    you know what i'm saying it's not going

  • 57:12

    to just go away one day we're going to

  • 57:13

    wake up and everything's going to be

  • 57:14

    gone i know that's not how it works but

  • 57:16

    it just starts with you like if you want

  • 57:19

    better

  • 57:20

    do better if you want you know to be

  • 57:23

    able to walk outside the community and

  • 57:25

    you know things are cool and common it's

  • 57:27

    the people we have to do it like

  • 57:29

    nobody's coming to save us

  • 57:31

    and i think that's a myth that we're

  • 57:32

    waiting on is one day we're going to

  • 57:33

    wake up and everything's going to be a

  • 57:34

    fine and

  • 57:35

    you know local government is going to

  • 57:37

    fix things and that's not how it happens

  • 57:40

    we have to make the change in our

  • 57:41

    communities we have to make a change in

  • 57:42

    ourselves

  • 57:43

    we have to make the change in how we

  • 57:44

    just deal with each other

  • 57:46

    day to day in the communities and i

  • 57:48

    think if we do that everything else

  • 57:49

    falls in line but

  • 57:51

    we just got to stop being so divisive

  • 57:52

    and so confrontational with each other

  • 57:54

    it's like

  • 57:54

    i get it i understand it's a lot of

  • 57:56

    trauma with us i understand it

  • 57:57

    but we have to we are we have to do the

  • 58:00

    work

  • 58:01

    we are the ones that have to do it

  • 58:02

    there's nobody coming to help us i mean

  • 58:04

    people can try you know like meek is

  • 58:06

    trying to

  • 58:06

    let people know listen i'm willing to do

  • 58:08

    work with young kids and

  • 58:10

    dudes in my city and give them a shot

  • 58:12

    but

  • 58:13

    i can't be affiliated with drama you

  • 58:16

    know what i'm saying and i just don't

  • 58:17

    understand how

  • 58:18

    people turn on him and was mad at him

  • 58:20

    for saying that but you can't please

  • 58:22

    everybody so

  • 58:24

    i mean it is what it is uh before we get

  • 58:27

    to gab band

  • 58:28

    and while we're in this area prayers of

  • 58:30

    jeremiah oh yeah

  • 58:31

    absolutely and everything that he's

  • 58:33

    going through uh i saw berg i saw 50 and

  • 58:35

    a few others announced chance the rapper

  • 58:37

    that uh he was battling with kovid

  • 58:39

    um but but it did appear that he was

  • 58:41

    getting a little bit better he is in icu

  • 58:43

    um and and was unresponsive but from

  • 58:46

    what i understand is responsive now

  • 58:48

    um so prayers out to him his family

  • 58:50

    loved ones

  • 58:53

    and uh yes wanted to get that in there

  • 58:54

    before we hit gap in prayers jeremiah

  • 58:57

    that was scary too yeah yeah yeah

  • 59:00

    because most of the people i've

  • 59:01

    seen as of late get contracted with code

  • 59:04

    including

  • 59:05

    joe it seems like it had maybe gotten a

  • 59:07

    little bit weaker but that's clearly not

  • 59:09

    the case

  • 59:09

    at least in all aspects and from what

  • 59:11

    i've heard he didn't have any like

  • 59:14

    precondition that covid would hit him

  • 59:17

    worse like if he had really bad asthma

  • 59:19

    or some type of condition oh he has that

  • 59:21

    he did okay because when i was

  • 59:23

    watching the 50 interview he would

  • 59:24

    suggest he didn't have any of the

  • 59:26

    no he 100 had something because they put

  • 59:29

    him on

  • 59:30

    on incubation yeah and when you're on

  • 59:33

    incubation

  • 59:34

    at least i was explaining to me it's a

  • 59:36

    tad bit different from

  • 59:37

    just a ventilator yeah so he does have

  • 59:41

    asthma okay

  • 59:43

    oppressed to jeremiah yeah absolutely

  • 59:45

    recovery

  • 59:46

    and with as hard as as difficult as it

  • 59:48

    was for me to breathe and

  • 59:50

    at the peak of my covet listen i

  • 59:53

    totally can see how if you had trouble

  • 59:56

    breathing already

  • 59:57

    right how it could it could get real bad

  • 1:00:00

    for you so

  • 1:00:01

    prayers to jeremiah hopefully he is he's

  • 1:00:04

    he pulls through this thing

  • 1:00:07

    yeah it's like nothing but bad news in

  • 1:00:09

    hip-hop now

  • 1:00:10

    yeah and the good news when it comes

  • 1:00:13

    it's so cookie cutter and

  • 1:00:14

    label induced that's like where it feels

  • 1:00:17

    where's the organic

  • 1:00:19

    feel good stuff like just for the soul

  • 1:00:22

    yeah

  • 1:00:22

    where where's that like it's like the

  • 1:00:24

    balance is off

  • 1:00:26

    like when i talk about energy is like

  • 1:00:28

    we're not balanced

  • 1:00:30

    yeah anymore i'm all we're getting is

  • 1:00:33

    politic [ __ ] entertainment [ __ ]

  • 1:00:37

  • 1:00:40

    and real estate oh and real estate

    back to your own life and not to say i

  • 1:00:47

  • 1:00:48

  • 1:00:48

    a lot of our listeners are live and die

  • 1:00:51

    by what happens within
