Life Changes, Hip-Hop Legends, and New Beginnings: We're Back!

WEBVTT

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:02.028
Yo, yo yo, we're back.

00:00:02.028 --> 00:00:08.913
Yo, we're finally back after a long hiatus, the longest hiatus that the culture has ever taken.

00:00:08.913 --> 00:00:11.743
We've been gone for what, ant?

00:00:11.743 --> 00:00:12.505
About three months.

00:00:12.505 --> 00:00:20.210
The summer, yeah, no, it's been like three months since the last time I recorded.

00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:21.766
You haven't recorded in longer than that.

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:24.667
Yeah, it's pretty much been off the whole summer.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:25.562
Yeah, because I did.

00:00:25.562 --> 00:00:27.766
I think I did one or two episodes with Mikey G.

00:00:27.766 --> 00:00:29.792
You know what I'm saying.

00:00:29.792 --> 00:00:31.629
Like it's just a lot has been going on.

00:00:31.629 --> 00:00:35.386
You know what I'm saying, with your help, if you want to touch on that.

00:00:35.386 --> 00:00:36.249
I moved.

00:00:36.249 --> 00:00:37.906
I moved from Jersey to PA.

00:00:37.906 --> 00:00:40.283
Be in your house in the Pokemon Mountains.

00:00:40.283 --> 00:00:41.765
We out here.

00:00:42.366 --> 00:00:43.488
Yeah, you're right, we out here.

00:00:43.488 --> 00:00:45.753
Yeah, you're right, I did Got a nice little pool or anything else like that.

00:00:45.753 --> 00:00:46.935
I'm going to come out there soon enough.

00:00:47.921 --> 00:00:49.546
So that's keeping me super busy.

00:00:49.546 --> 00:00:50.810
You need to come through though.

00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:58.545
Yeah, but since the health thing, that shit's sorted out, I was in the hospital.

00:00:58.545 --> 00:01:00.070
Yeah, fine, I was in the hospital.

00:01:00.982 --> 00:01:11.555
People were worried about you, brother Like yo, where at now I'm like yo, so I was at work and I was like I felt off.

00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.947
I couldn't like describe it, but I felt really, really off.

00:01:13.947 --> 00:01:27.340
And all of a sudden I felt like this hard-ass beat in my chest and I was like I got to go now, like I need to leave, I need to go to the hospital, like he said, and I wasn't going to call, wait for them to give me an ambulance.

00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:36.087
I know it's stupid, I know it's dumb, but I drove myself to the hospital, dangerous as fuck, jesus Christ.

00:01:36.087 --> 00:01:42.668
Well, because the whole thing with the COVID thing, my brain got a little bit twisted up.

00:01:42.668 --> 00:01:44.182
I'm going to control my own life.

00:01:44.182 --> 00:01:46.670
If I'm going to go to the hospital, I'm going to go to the hospital.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.808
So it started there.

00:01:48.808 --> 00:02:00.168
I went there and then all of a sudden, they got me strapped to machines, they got an IV, they all had all kinds of nonsense going on.

00:02:00.168 --> 00:02:03.790
So they do that, run some tests.

00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:09.502
And they was like we just want to make sure you're okay.

00:02:09.502 --> 00:02:10.604
I'm like, okay, what seems to be the problem?

00:02:10.604 --> 00:02:17.330
And they were like well, one of two things, you okay.

00:02:17.330 --> 00:02:20.237
So they gave me something for my blood pressure.

00:02:20.237 --> 00:02:23.223
It's not extremely high, just a little bit higher than usual, but it's okay.

00:02:23.223 --> 00:02:32.876
But then all of a sudden it was like well, we did your blood test and kidneys is a little meh, like okay, I'm like what do you mean?

00:02:32.876 --> 00:02:37.912
They're like well, the guy pokes me in the back so he's feeling a thing here.

00:02:37.912 --> 00:02:39.443
No, pokes me again, so he's feeling a thing.

00:02:39.443 --> 00:02:40.066
I says no.

00:02:41.049 --> 00:02:45.841
They're like okay, so it's like okay.

00:02:45.841 --> 00:02:55.572
So it's going to be one of two things Either A, you got a kidney infection that you can't feel which is surprising, most people do feel it or two, you're at the beginning stages of kidney failure.

00:02:55.572 --> 00:02:59.129
Now like huh, interesting.

00:03:00.521 --> 00:03:01.305
But he looks at me.

00:03:02.227 --> 00:03:02.889
But that's the whole thing.

00:03:02.889 --> 00:03:03.730
I don't drink like that.

00:03:03.730 --> 00:03:07.527
I have a beer, but you know me well enough.

00:03:07.527 --> 00:03:11.389
If we have it, I get together, Let me get another, get another, get another.

00:03:11.389 --> 00:03:16.081
I might have a shot your sister poured and that's really it.

00:03:16.081 --> 00:03:20.284
The rest of y'all keep on getting down, but not really so.

00:03:20.284 --> 00:03:22.663
They put me some medication for like three weeks.

00:03:22.663 --> 00:03:24.548
I'm trying to get myself together.

00:03:24.548 --> 00:03:27.525
I can't sleep, I'm in and out of it.

00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:31.885
Then they find out like it was kind of like a, really it was like a bad infection.

00:03:31.885 --> 00:03:36.850
The doctor said again, that's strange, you get a slight kidney infection, Like you're hurting.

00:03:36.850 --> 00:03:39.729
You weren't like okay, all right, it's good to know.

00:03:39.729 --> 00:03:47.048
And then I'm going to tell you, and I'll tell everybody listening for the first time.

00:03:47.048 --> 00:03:48.930
Everybody's going to know.

00:03:49.790 --> 00:03:54.056
I go for a follow-up and a doctor.

00:03:54.056 --> 00:04:01.186
Then he says okay, your kidney's fine.

00:04:01.186 --> 00:04:03.550
Okay, we want to send you for some follow-up blood work.

00:04:03.550 --> 00:04:08.701
And they do it again.

00:04:08.701 --> 00:04:12.185
Then they say, well, this is a bit elevated.

00:04:12.185 --> 00:04:14.486
Like, all right, doc, what the fuck is it?

00:04:14.486 --> 00:04:20.973
He's like well, we're going to need you to send you in for a biopsy on your liver.

00:04:20.973 --> 00:04:26.317
And I'm like really, so you have to go inside, take out a little piece.

00:04:26.317 --> 00:04:30.326
Yeah, yeah, It'll be fine.

00:04:30.326 --> 00:04:31.990
They go ahead, they do the biopsy.

00:04:31.990 --> 00:04:44.242
I think four days ago they said well, you don't have liver damage to that degree, but it looks like you have cirrhosis.

00:04:44.242 --> 00:04:46.139
I said of the, but it looks like you have cirrhosis, I said of the liver.

00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:47.684
How the fuck does cirrhosis of the liver?

00:04:47.684 --> 00:04:49.571
I'm not an alcoholic.

00:04:49.571 --> 00:04:50.805
He's like we don't know.

00:04:50.805 --> 00:04:52.105
We're going to do some more tests.

00:04:52.105 --> 00:04:55.836
So if you look at my face, you see a little thinner and shit like that.

00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.608
You look like you lost weight too, Motherfucker, it's hard to eat and drink and shit like that, and keep fucking with your body.

00:05:01.608 --> 00:05:12.663
So yeah, I lost it and yeah, I'm with you, but not like that Bunch of vegetables, bunch of chicken, shitload of water, stuff like that.

00:05:12.663 --> 00:05:15.788
So they're going to see what's going on in my liver.

00:05:15.788 --> 00:05:19.473
Now it's nothing to worry about, and I was like yo man, you said that before.

00:05:19.473 --> 00:05:24.451
It's nothing to worry about, so I'm not bothered, it's just some other shit's going on with me.

00:05:24.451 --> 00:05:25.216
I ain't dead.

00:05:25.216 --> 00:05:26.502
I mean, I did that before.

00:05:26.502 --> 00:05:27.266
This shit wasn't cool.

00:05:27.266 --> 00:05:29.829
So outside of this, I just gotta take care.

00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:33.591
I mean, just enjoy my life while it is and not trip out.

00:05:33.591 --> 00:05:37.567
So I won't trip out, Just keep being here and do what I'm doing.

00:05:37.788 --> 00:05:38.610
Welcome back, brother.

00:05:38.610 --> 00:05:40.321
Thank you.

00:05:40.321 --> 00:05:47.581
Happy that you're back, happy that you're healthy, somewhat Getting there, at least Yo.

00:05:47.581 --> 00:05:51.271
But a lot of shit has happened since we've been gone.

00:05:51.271 --> 00:05:55.160
Fucking president almost got assassinated.

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.406
Well, former President Trump almost got assassinated.

00:05:57.406 --> 00:06:01.819
They saying twice, not once but twice All right.

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:05.708
But the second one I don't agree upon calling it an assassination.

00:06:05.708 --> 00:06:07.370
I don't.

00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:08.514
It's Florida.

00:06:08.514 --> 00:06:16.665
They said they saw somebody near the golf course, 400 yards away, with a GoPro and a rifle.

00:06:16.665 --> 00:06:19.607
Now Florida's an open carry state.

00:06:19.607 --> 00:06:21.387
They never said the guy took a shot at him.

00:06:21.387 --> 00:06:24.262
If you shoot at somebody that's an assassination attempt.

00:06:24.262 --> 00:06:26.389
They never attempted to assassinate him.

00:06:26.389 --> 00:06:29.581
He just a white guy walking around florida with a camera and a gun.

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:37.122
that's not really that unusual if you think about it I mean, if you ask me, bro, to me the whole shit is a hoax.

00:06:37.122 --> 00:06:38.927
That first one was a hoax, if you ask me.

00:06:38.927 --> 00:06:42.244
But you know we're not trying to get too conspiratorial.

00:06:42.264 --> 00:06:43.526
No, that's the shit you look.

00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.067
You look conspiratorial.

00:06:44.088 --> 00:06:44.709
You know what I'm saying?

00:06:44.709 --> 00:06:49.348
Not today, but what else happened, man?

00:06:49.348 --> 00:06:51.185
Yo hip hop made it to the Olympics.

00:06:51.185 --> 00:06:56.543
You talking about that bitch pop locking With the break dancing.

00:06:56.543 --> 00:06:59.166
The women's shit was embarrassing, but the men's shit was alright.

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.062
Yeah, but it got so bad they eliminated it at the one year.

00:07:03.062 --> 00:07:04.322
They're like we're not doing this shit, no more.

00:07:04.322 --> 00:07:04.803
Yeah, we out.

00:07:04.803 --> 00:07:11.112
But they should do it next year because if it's going to be in LA with all the crunkers and everything else, like that, it'd be perfect.

00:07:11.132 --> 00:07:12.995
They should bring freestyling bro to the Olympics.

00:07:12.995 --> 00:07:17.708
Yo, battle rapping and some shit, have a.

00:07:17.708 --> 00:07:18.230
You know what I mean.

00:07:21.523 --> 00:07:22.867
A rap Olympics, the battle rap team.

00:07:22.867 --> 00:07:25.213
They got too many priors.

00:07:25.213 --> 00:07:27.548
They can't have them on a national stage.

00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.307
They probably can't do shit like that because of the language barriers.

00:07:30.307 --> 00:07:30.829
You know what I'm saying.

00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:31.490
They can't do that.

00:07:31.490 --> 00:07:33.987
They could do the dancing, because it's universal.

00:07:35.081 --> 00:07:36.324
The language barrier is the cursing.

00:07:36.324 --> 00:07:37.428
That's the barrier.

00:07:37.428 --> 00:07:44.523
Can't be out there spitting balls Talking amongst my mamas.

00:07:44.543 --> 00:07:47.992
When I saw that shit, I was like yo, hip hop is everywhere, man.

00:07:47.992 --> 00:07:55.105
And speaking of hip hop is everywhere, biggie made it into the Marvel Comics and I got mine.

00:07:55.105 --> 00:08:02.865
Only 3,000 copies were made and you got one of them, and I got one of them.

00:08:02.865 --> 00:08:06.966
Biggie trying to separate Wolverine and Deadpool from fucking each other up.

00:08:06.966 --> 00:08:10.024
He's in the middle like yo, fellas, this ain't it.

00:08:10.024 --> 00:08:15.303
I haven't read it yet because I'm afraid to open it.

00:08:15.303 --> 00:08:17.706
I don't want to fuck it up because this shit might be, worth one day.

00:08:18.226 --> 00:08:19.060
I do want to read it, though.

00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:24.603
I want to see what Biggie got to say in this shit oh, that's what you got to say, speaking of that, you, what Biggie got to say in this shit?

00:08:24.603 --> 00:08:25.846
Oh, that's what you got to say, speaking of that.

00:08:25.846 --> 00:08:28.653
You know it's the 30th anniversary of Ready to Die.

00:08:28.653 --> 00:08:31.526
Where does that fall?

00:08:31.526 --> 00:08:35.466
All time for you, not him.

00:08:35.648 --> 00:08:36.208
Just that album.

00:08:36.208 --> 00:08:36.950
Ready to Die?

00:08:36.950 --> 00:08:37.410
The album.

00:08:37.410 --> 00:08:39.193
It's in my top 10.

00:08:39.193 --> 00:08:41.822
It's probably.

00:08:41.822 --> 00:08:43.328
I mean, we've done the top 5 before.

00:08:43.328 --> 00:08:44.384
It's not in my top 5.

00:08:44.384 --> 00:08:49.650
Because we know I got DMX, lauren Hill, wu Tang Nas.

00:08:49.650 --> 00:09:00.224
I forget what my fifth one is, but I think I have, yeah, I got big in the top 10.

00:09:01.086 --> 00:09:03.443
Ready to die, I mean the fact he writes that album.

00:09:03.443 --> 00:09:04.326
He's what?

00:09:04.326 --> 00:09:06.945
22 years old Because he's dead by 25?

00:09:06.945 --> 00:09:07.888
Yep.

00:09:09.182 --> 00:09:23.365
Come on now, as grown men, 20 plus years later, as grown men, we're in our 40s and we're still talking about an album where the guy was 20 years old and we're still putting that.

00:09:23.365 --> 00:09:25.823
I guess all of them, even Nas.

00:09:25.823 --> 00:09:28.806
What was he when he dropped Dillmatic 19?

00:09:28.806 --> 00:09:35.794
Yeah, and these albums are probably forever going to be in our top five, our top tens.

00:09:35.794 --> 00:09:36.777
You know what I'm saying.

00:09:38.041 --> 00:09:42.212
Like I always say, I always hated that Nas' first album was that.

00:09:42.212 --> 00:09:47.666
Oh, it's still Because it's hard, like I mean he's made some very.

00:09:47.902 --> 00:10:00.919
that's not even my favorite Nas album I am is but the fact that he set the bar so high with his very first album, fucked a lot of people up how many people do you know, with their first album, come out with a classic?

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.942
Not many, and everybody was going platinum in the 90s.

00:10:04.942 --> 00:10:05.826
That that's the joke.

00:10:05.826 --> 00:10:07.124
Everybody was platinum.

00:10:07.124 --> 00:10:13.985
But no, he set the bar so high that it's hard to top that, and everybody's first album is usually their best album.

00:10:13.985 --> 00:10:19.505
But that Illmatic is probably better than everybody else's first album.

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:27.663
Yeah, I know it's a lot of first albums, but the whole thing with something like that comes down to the fact that you have that million right.

00:10:27.663 --> 00:10:35.789
People say, like all the rappers, they all had a million, but it doesn't mean that they're going to be memorable, like just the fact that his best work is one of the best works.

00:10:35.789 --> 00:10:53.342
The Lauryn Hill thing One album, one shot, one kill, and it's University of Cleveland, one of the greatest albums ever.

00:10:53.342 --> 00:11:05.676
No matter what she did afterward, if she decided to make a follow-up to Miseducation, it's going to pale in comparison to Miseducation, because you're going to compare everything she does to that.

00:11:05.676 --> 00:11:13.404
That's why I was so excited to hear a verse from her on a Nas thing Like, oh man, that's the Lord I remember, but you still don't want.

00:11:13.404 --> 00:11:17.144
You don't want a follow-up, you don't want something to fuck up.

00:11:17.164 --> 00:11:22.070
My sources are telling me she's working on another project that she wants to drop before the year's over.

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.381
Oh, I'm going to tell you a story.

00:11:24.381 --> 00:11:26.947
I didn't go.

00:11:26.947 --> 00:11:28.071
I didn't go.

00:11:31.341 --> 00:11:33.086
But um, you didn't go where you went to the Usher concert.

00:11:33.847 --> 00:11:35.633
Oh, hold up, we're going to get there, all right.

00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:38.706
You went to the Roots concert.

00:11:41.224 --> 00:11:42.128
Yeah, but I always go.

00:11:42.128 --> 00:11:45.847
But I didn't really like it this year, like it's way too many people who are fucking hot and crowded.

00:11:45.847 --> 00:11:47.888
That's why I didn't want to fucking talk about it.

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:50.905
Oh, you didn't go to the Lauren shit that she was doing here.

00:11:50.905 --> 00:11:54.253
Which, lauren Lauren Hill, we're getting there.

00:11:54.253 --> 00:11:54.774
All right, go ahead.

00:11:56.861 --> 00:12:03.683
So it's this bar and restaurant near West Orange and they were having.

00:12:03.683 --> 00:12:04.647
I think it might have.

00:12:04.647 --> 00:12:06.792
I think it might have been like Maplewood, nah, maplewood.

00:12:06.792 --> 00:12:20.927
I think Maplewood might have been having like a class reunion sometimes like that, and Lauryn Hill casually walks in there, does a couple songs, takes a picture with a couple people, she leaves.

00:12:22.163 --> 00:12:22.826
Wait unannounced.

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:24.081
Unannounced.

00:12:24.383 --> 00:12:24.806
Oh shit.

00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:27.768
Remember she's from the Maplewood, South Nigeria.

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.485
Was she trying to do a little trial run to see what the reception is?

00:12:31.947 --> 00:12:36.364
No, it was like they were holding a class reunion there and I guess word got back to her.

00:12:36.364 --> 00:12:42.609
She walks in, says hi to a couple people, goes by the DJ booth does like three songs.

00:12:42.821 --> 00:12:44.942
Wait, this was her high school graduation class.

00:12:44.942 --> 00:12:45.684
That was there.

00:12:45.684 --> 00:12:47.767
No, no, it was like an all reunion class.

00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:55.210
Oh Right, it wasn't like she was a guest or anything, she just popped up, pops up.

00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:56.865
I gotta find a fucking.

00:12:56.884 --> 00:12:57.668
She was like give me the mic.

00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:06.851
Yeah and does a couple songs, chills with the people, and then she just leaves God damn Like on some friendship so they got a free Lauryn Hill concert.

00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:10.201
That would have been a night to remember For them.

00:13:10.201 --> 00:13:10.602
It probably was.

00:13:10.602 --> 00:13:12.509
I'm sure the fucking venue was pissed.

00:13:12.509 --> 00:13:12.942
They're like yo.

00:13:12.942 --> 00:13:13.846
I wish you would have been coming.

00:13:13.846 --> 00:13:16.548
We would have charged some motherfuckers at the door.

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:30.567
I know you could have, but the thing about life is sometimes you got to create moments, and this is just one of them like it's one of the things that you get older.

00:13:30.586 --> 00:13:33.495
You tell somebody like one day I was in a bar somewhere and we were celebrating class reunion and lauren hill shows up.

00:13:33.495 --> 00:13:36.923
What you're hoping is that your kid says that's cool and that your kid doesn't say well, who's lauren hill?

00:13:36.923 --> 00:13:38.847
Then you have a problem.

00:13:38.847 --> 00:13:41.253
But this shit was awesome.

00:13:41.253 --> 00:13:43.808
Okay, the usher shit was dope.

00:13:43.808 --> 00:13:50.489
I randomly got tickets for my cousin my cousin can't fucking drive and it was like I want to see Usher.

00:13:50.489 --> 00:13:55.698
I'm like I don't really want to see Usher because I saw Usher a couple years ago in a park for Bruce's picnic.

00:13:55.698 --> 00:13:57.586
He's like, yeah, but I got these tickets.

00:13:57.586 --> 00:13:58.589
My homegirl can't go.

00:13:58.589 --> 00:14:03.989
Whatever Usher puts on the show, he's on his roller skates.

00:14:03.989 --> 00:14:05.527
They're having a good old time.

00:14:05.527 --> 00:14:08.645
The funny part it was like Auntie Fess 2024.

00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:12.182
It was, but it was a lot of older ladies there.

00:14:12.182 --> 00:14:14.062
It was like older than me.

00:14:14.062 --> 00:14:15.386
It was like a lot of aunts there.

00:14:15.386 --> 00:14:19.028
It was like a 30 to 1 male to female ratio.

00:14:19.028 --> 00:14:20.663
You forget Usher's like 50.

00:14:20.663 --> 00:14:22.650
No, he's 45.

00:14:22.650 --> 00:14:25.166
He is, he's 45 years old.

00:14:25.166 --> 00:14:25.927
So he's about your age.

00:14:25.927 --> 00:14:27.451
Yeah, he's not that old.

00:14:27.451 --> 00:14:32.601
But there was a lot of old women in with some very young girl outfits on which.

00:14:32.621 --> 00:14:33.644
I found kind of hilarious.

00:14:35.068 --> 00:14:38.187
Like I said, the ratio is about, I could say, 30 to 1.

00:14:38.187 --> 00:14:39.029
That's probably low.

00:14:39.029 --> 00:14:43.066
All the dudes in there were just kind of pissed.

00:14:43.066 --> 00:14:45.171
They just looked disappointed.

00:14:45.171 --> 00:14:45.972
They didn't want to be there.

00:14:45.972 --> 00:14:48.328
The girl wanted to go, so they just kind of sit back and cool.

00:14:48.328 --> 00:14:51.349
But some songs they had to get up, man listen it was amazing.

00:14:51.428 --> 00:14:52.010
I don't want to go.

00:14:52.010 --> 00:14:55.894
I bought two tickets and I tell wifey to take one of her homegirls or whoever.

00:14:55.894 --> 00:14:56.576
You know what I'm saying.

00:14:56.576 --> 00:14:59.826
I bought wifey two tickets to go see Marc Anthony.

00:14:59.826 --> 00:15:02.451
I didn't want to go see Mark Anthony, but I bought him for her.

00:15:02.451 --> 00:15:02.912
I wasn't.

00:15:02.912 --> 00:15:03.393
No, I ain't go.

00:15:03.393 --> 00:15:06.346
She went with another shorty.

00:15:06.346 --> 00:15:07.791
Oh, you didn't go.

00:15:07.791 --> 00:15:10.607
No, I'm not going to sit through with Mark Anthony.

00:15:10.628 --> 00:15:12.596
I thought you would Well.

00:15:12.596 --> 00:15:13.880
Mark Anthony ain't Usher though.

00:15:14.582 --> 00:15:15.164
You know what I'm saying?

00:15:15.164 --> 00:15:16.107
I know the man can sing.

00:15:16.107 --> 00:15:17.552
He's talented, I'm not going to sit through that.

00:15:17.552 --> 00:15:18.941
So I know she likes Mark Anthony.

00:15:18.941 --> 00:15:21.663
So I got her two tickets and she chooses who she wants to go with.

00:15:22.595 --> 00:15:25.442
Yeah, but Mark ain't Usher, Mark ain't Anthony Mark ain't Anthony.

00:15:25.442 --> 00:15:29.136
Nah, but Usher.

00:15:29.277 --> 00:15:30.477
I'll go see Usher.

00:15:30.477 --> 00:15:31.239
I'll see Usher.

00:15:31.239 --> 00:15:32.880
He can, he could dance.

00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:35.102
You know what I'm saying.

00:15:35.102 --> 00:15:36.565
I definitely would see that shit.

00:15:36.585 --> 00:15:39.969
Like you know, he does his shit, but apparently the Barclays show was live.

00:15:39.969 --> 00:15:42.971
He brought out Swiss, he brought out Timbaland.

00:15:44.996 --> 00:15:45.258
But no Swiss.

00:15:45.258 --> 00:15:46.780
But that's the thing you expect them to bring.

00:15:46.780 --> 00:15:48.224
You expect these guys to bring people.

00:15:48.224 --> 00:15:49.346
You know what I'm saying?

00:15:49.365 --> 00:15:55.702
He does it every city, whoever the person in the city he did Like in Detroit, he brought up Big Sean.

00:15:55.702 --> 00:15:56.403
He brings out the rap.

00:15:56.403 --> 00:16:01.158
Back when I was in Philly he brought out I think the first night it was Freeway.

00:16:01.158 --> 00:16:02.442
I think he was there for two nights in a row.

00:16:02.442 --> 00:16:03.302
I think the second night.

00:16:03.302 --> 00:16:06.543
I don't think he brought out Free two nights in a row, but someone else from Philly.

00:16:07.475 --> 00:16:07.985
You know what I'm saying.

00:16:07.985 --> 00:16:09.395
He got songs with most of these people.

00:16:09.395 --> 00:16:14.024
If he's in Atlanta, he could bring out Jerm of dudes that he got songs with.

00:16:15.024 --> 00:16:15.746
But that's the whole thing.

00:16:15.746 --> 00:16:20.802
If I was him and I'm in Atlanta I'm not bringing out nobody else.

00:16:20.822 --> 00:16:24.803
I'm the king of the city, but I'm saying he can, though he can, because he got songs with all the legends from Atlanta.

00:16:24.803 --> 00:16:34.602
But anyways, yo, I just wanted to talk to the Patreons real quick, the Culture Crew man, at least the ones that stuck with us through this time.

00:16:34.602 --> 00:16:38.635

Are you a summer dude or a fall dude?

00:17:17.003 --> 00:17:17.465
I like fall.

00:17:17.465 --> 00:17:25.423
I don't like too cold, I don't like too hot Spring and fall is perfect, right.

00:17:25.575 --> 00:17:27.601

Hoodie weather I could throw a hoodie with some shorts.

00:17:31.124 --> 00:17:32.551

He a savage and playing pickleball.

00:17:58.686 --> 00:18:04.340
Shout outs to Kaiser Kaiser, two things.

00:18:04.340 --> 00:18:08.076
First of all, y'all got an ongoing bet on the fantasy right.

00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:10.519
Head to head $100 head to head.

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.000
Y'all got two head to head matchups, alright.

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.539
So I'm just reminding both of y'all throwing that out there.

00:18:16.021 --> 00:18:17.346
I don't need to be reminded man.

00:18:17.346 --> 00:18:27.616
Just tell a man when he lose, zell me that evening so that Monday whatever, whatever the closing is just give me my money because I'm not going to have to pay you when y'all play y'all.

00:18:27.616 --> 00:18:30.865
Play next week, right, it's a week or week after, it don't matter.

00:18:30.865 --> 00:18:32.878
Like yo, I'm going to get the best deal.

00:18:32.878 --> 00:18:33.921
I made the bet.

00:18:33.921 --> 00:18:34.442
He agreed to it.

00:18:34.442 --> 00:18:36.665
We're going to pay fair and square If he lose.

00:18:37.855 --> 00:18:38.960
Don't sleep on your laurels, bro.

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.340
He picked up Lamar Jackson.

00:18:40.340 --> 00:18:43.044
Lamar Jackson can go off at any given week.

00:18:44.375 --> 00:18:45.398
I don't give a fuck.

00:18:45.398 --> 00:18:47.064
Have my money, I don't care.

00:18:47.424 --> 00:18:48.186
And Tyreek Hill.

00:18:48.186 --> 00:18:51.722
Oh, we could talk about Tyreek Hill too, but the man also has Tyreek Hill.

00:18:51.722 --> 00:18:53.265
Any given game.

00:18:54.286 --> 00:18:56.728
What you're going to talk about the cop being a little bit too aggressive with him.

00:18:56.728 --> 00:19:04.144
I could go either way, come on, I don't need you to cuff me.

00:19:04.144 --> 00:19:06.079
That dude was super cheap.

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.498
He was crazy as fuck.

00:19:07.498 --> 00:19:08.180
Man Don't do that.

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:11.067
There's the thing he was speeding Sure.

00:19:11.115 --> 00:19:12.219
He didn't have a seatbelt on.

00:19:13.683 --> 00:19:13.944
Great.

00:19:15.194 --> 00:19:19.044
That being said, yeah, it might have been a little excessive.

00:19:19.044 --> 00:19:23.318
My thing is this and I'm not defending the police, by no means.

00:19:23.318 --> 00:19:25.083
Sound like you're about to know.

00:19:25.083 --> 00:19:30.301
And I know he was on his way to the game, but it was like he still had like a good two hours.

00:19:30.301 --> 00:19:36.711
You know I'm saying, but you know, you got to get there, prep, you know, do your scrimmages and practices and go through the plays.

00:19:36.711 --> 00:19:40.319
Yes, so he was probably running late, so he was speeding.

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.147
Okay, just pull your window down, man.

00:19:44.147 --> 00:19:49.595
I'm just saying you know he coming over, he's gonna ask for the paperwork.

00:19:49.595 --> 00:19:52.864
Just pull the window down, bro.

00:19:52.864 --> 00:19:55.751
Pull the window down if you tell the police.

00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:58.179
The guy it seemed like he didn't even know who he was.

00:19:58.179 --> 00:19:59.704
He ain't know who.

00:19:59.704 --> 00:20:01.843
One of the cops identified him.

00:20:01.843 --> 00:20:04.135
The initial cop who was tapping on his window.

00:20:04.135 --> 00:20:06.698
Like yo put the window down, I'm going to break the shit.

00:20:06.698 --> 00:20:10.723
He ain't know who Tyreek Hill was, bro, and he sounded like he was some Spanish motherfucker.

00:20:10.723 --> 00:20:19.797
But yo, just put the window down, give them the paperwork if you have it, and be like look, officer, my bad, I was probably speeding.

00:20:19.797 --> 00:20:21.803
I'm on my way to the stadium.

00:20:21.803 --> 00:20:22.726
I'm about to be late.

00:20:22.726 --> 00:20:23.528
I got a game.

00:20:23.528 --> 00:20:26.538
If you don't recognize wham, I'm tyreek hill.

00:20:26.538 --> 00:20:29.463
I got a game in a couple of hours.

00:20:29.463 --> 00:20:31.228
I gotta get to the stadium, my bad.

00:20:31.275 --> 00:20:33.823
The policeman would have probably been like oh shit, my bad, yo here, man, let me give you an autograph.

00:20:33.823 --> 00:20:34.806
You want to take a couple of pictures?

00:20:34.806 --> 00:20:35.268
Let me be on my way?

00:20:35.268 --> 00:20:37.595
And that would have probably been like, oh shit, my bad, yo here, man, let me give you an autograph.

00:20:37.595 --> 00:20:38.999
You want to take a couple of pictures?

00:20:38.999 --> 00:20:39.922
Let me be on my way.

00:20:39.922 --> 00:20:40.704
And that would have been it.

00:20:40.704 --> 00:20:42.461
But you get belligerent.

00:20:42.461 --> 00:20:43.800
You don't want to pull the window down.

00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:45.059
Like why you tapping on my shit?

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:45.501
You know what I mean.

00:20:45.501 --> 00:20:48.044
Like, all of this shit is not necessary by either party.

00:20:48.044 --> 00:21:02.410
You don't got to getent if you're, you know, I mean the driver.

00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:02.479
Like you know.

00:21:02.479 --> 00:21:03.666
I mean, pull the window down, show him your license, tell him what's going on.

00:21:03.666 --> 00:21:04.230
He would have been like oh shit, yo, can you give me an autograph?

00:21:04.230 --> 00:21:05.054
All right, my bad, they'll probably escort you.

00:21:05.054 --> 00:21:09.647
They probably would have escorted you to the stadium and gotten you there even faster, and that would have been it.

00:21:09.647 --> 00:21:12.596
But now you know when we do this whole shit.

00:21:12.596 --> 00:21:13.980
I thought he was gonna get.

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:19.742
But it turns out he played he made it in time, actually played that game.

00:21:21.652 --> 00:21:23.076
The policeman might get fired.

00:21:23.076 --> 00:21:23.900
He got sent home.

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:26.727
Yeah, there might be a lawsuit.

00:21:26.727 --> 00:21:29.942
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

00:21:29.942 --> 00:21:35.123
It's unfortunate, whatever Okay, but I mean all of this shit could have been avoided.

00:21:35.123 --> 00:21:37.102
Man, I just don't understand, like why?

00:21:37.102 --> 00:21:38.159
Why, you know?

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.676
Just comply, just put your window down.

00:21:39.676 --> 00:21:40.299
You was speeding.

00:21:40.299 --> 00:21:41.579
My bad say you was speeding.

00:21:41.579 --> 00:21:46.582
I gotta be at the stadium and that's it can I make a counterpoint?

00:21:47.003 --> 00:21:50.042
go ahead when you're on your free time, right.

00:21:50.042 --> 00:21:57.903
What I want you to do is go to go to YouTube, right, and just type in white people while in over tickets and like, remember, he's a, I know what you're about to say.

00:21:57.903 --> 00:21:59.515
No, go to YouTube right and just type in white people while in over tickets.

00:22:00.396 --> 00:22:01.767
And like remember, he's a multi-millionaire NFL star.

00:22:01.875 --> 00:22:03.034
He's a multi-millionaire NFL star.

00:22:03.095 --> 00:22:07.763
You're about to say that white people do the worst and don't get the treatment.

00:22:08.576 --> 00:22:10.459
They don't get cuffed, they don't do shit.

00:22:10.459 --> 00:22:10.819
I get it.

00:22:10.819 --> 00:22:15.038
Offices bitch clean up and them white people be going to fuck off of them cops.

00:22:15.038 --> 00:22:19.857
They be motherfucking up and down, tearing up tickets, driving away.

00:22:19.857 --> 00:22:23.305
You don't see them in cuffs Talking about being disrespectful.

00:22:23.325 --> 00:22:30.901
I've seen videos of white people telling them to leave Like, alright man, just leave bro, I don't got time to deal with you.

00:22:31.996 --> 00:22:33.623
But him you're going to go ahead and pull him over.

00:22:33.623 --> 00:22:36.978
You're going to go ahead and go through this whole thing, but him you're going to go ahead and pull him over.

00:22:36.998 --> 00:22:38.599
You're going to go ahead and go through this whole thing Like Tyreek was wrong.

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.566
His people, his mans in them, got tickets too, because those motherfuckers wanted to be bystanders and they ain't want to leave the scene.

00:22:42.806 --> 00:22:46.030
I was amazed Calais Campbell didn't get shot.

00:22:46.030 --> 00:22:54.333
If you see some six foot eight, 30 pound black man walking towards you, most times you get popped doing some shit like that.

00:22:54.353 --> 00:22:59.702
It wasn't flawed and and, like I said, he was trying to figure out what's going on he detained him.

00:22:59.702 --> 00:23:00.286
Let me play devil's advocate.

00:23:00.286 --> 00:23:02.436
Police told him to keep it moving about seven times, I count it he's blocking traffic.

00:23:02.436 --> 00:23:07.085
Okay, this ain't our beef, ain't with you, just keep going.

00:23:07.085 --> 00:23:11.682
About seven times, they told him he stays there.

00:23:11.682 --> 00:23:16.435
Then, when the cop is like, I guess I'm gonna have to give you a ticket too, no, no, no, it's too late.

00:23:16.435 --> 00:23:22.479
Now, man, I'm going to give you a ticket now too, because you're obstructing traffic, you're obstructing the justice, all this type of shit.

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.401
Anyway, go ahead and the ticket's fine.

00:23:25.401 --> 00:23:26.682
Like I'm a millionaire, it's fine.

00:23:26.682 --> 00:23:34.826
Like I'm worried about give me a $300 ticket.

00:23:34.826 --> 00:23:37.007
Like I'm making $6 million this year, it's fine.

00:23:37.007 --> 00:23:41.388
It's 20 cents to me, but the money's not the matter to worry about.

00:23:41.388 --> 00:23:49.393
It's this Like if it's a traffic stop, okay, it is what it is, but the level of aggression in regards to it?

00:23:56.454 --> 00:23:59.891
But, like I said, I'm seeing it from the perspective of a black man, seeing way too many cops get way too aggressive for the most basic of things and it's not because they are violating the law.

00:23:59.891 --> 00:24:03.883
They feel that they are violating that officer's authority.

00:24:03.883 --> 00:24:05.002
So the cop?

00:24:05.002 --> 00:24:10.063
And, like I said, white people ask the cops all the time and they just drive the fuck away.

00:24:10.063 --> 00:24:12.984
They don't get put in handcuffs and get sat on the ground.

00:24:13.368 --> 00:24:15.079
Is it one thing that both parties can be wrong?

00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:16.415
Absolutely Sure.

00:24:16.415 --> 00:24:22.443
But the whole thing is that we're not going to talk about Tyreek Hill the athlete, talking about Tyreek Hill the person.

00:24:22.443 --> 00:24:30.824
If his name was Tyreek Jones and he was driving a supercar or some shit like that, I don't think he'd be deserving that treatment either.

00:24:30.824 --> 00:24:36.403
Like I said, I understand you feel entitled because of who you are and you want to get the fuck up on him and bite your way, Then he's right.

00:24:36.403 --> 00:24:37.945
We already know he's feeding.

00:24:37.945 --> 00:24:40.348
He just take it, get the fuck on Everything else.

00:24:40.490 --> 00:24:43.311
After that, interaction between him and the officer seemed unnecessary.

00:24:43.311 --> 00:24:47.461
He exacerbated a little bit and the cop took it a bit too far.

00:24:47.461 --> 00:24:51.942
Again, it's a situation that two people can be right and can be wrong at the same time.

00:24:51.942 --> 00:24:53.778
I think this is what you're falling into.

00:24:53.778 --> 00:24:55.702
I think this is what you're falling into.

00:24:55.702 --> 00:24:56.384
It's fucked up that it happened.

00:24:56.384 --> 00:24:57.968
It's worse that everything's going to come of it.

00:24:57.968 --> 00:25:04.720
And the worst part is that if the cop just acted like he had some sense and stopped acting like he was in authority, he might still have his job.

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:11.402
It's more likely he's going to lose his job because it's too high-profile a thing right now to kind of let it slide Like I probably is not going to suffice at this point.

00:25:18.575 --> 00:25:19.536
All right, all right, but you sidetracked me, man.

00:25:19.536 --> 00:25:27.910
I'm still trying to give my shout outs to my culture crew, our loyal culture crew members shout out to d block hellwick, owner of in motion courier services out of kasimi, florida.

00:25:27.910 --> 00:25:36.317
Every time florida's mentioned, you can cringe a little bit, right, because you know some wild shit be happening over there.

00:25:38.722 --> 00:25:42.169
Because I truly believe there's something about the humidity and that moisture getting in people's brain.

00:25:43.038 --> 00:25:44.423
It's a combination of things, bro.

00:25:46.138 --> 00:25:47.182
I think it's a combination.

00:25:47.375 --> 00:25:54.281
It's the traffic, the humidity, the gators, the hurricane, the racist people and all the mass shootings that take place down there.

00:25:54.281 --> 00:25:57.244
I think it's a combination of all that shit that got people going nuts.

00:26:00.036 --> 00:26:00.999
It's all the time, man.

00:26:00.999 --> 00:26:02.544
Every time it's awesome.

00:26:02.544 --> 00:26:06.982
Like I say, they allegedly tried to shoot this man in Florida.

00:26:06.982 --> 00:26:07.766
That's all you got to say.

00:26:08.516 --> 00:26:11.759
But we got a few coaching crew members out in Florida, so we love them.

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:14.740
Shout out to Melly Mel.

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:20.701
Shout out to Taj.

00:26:20.701 --> 00:26:21.243
Shout out to Anonymous.

00:26:21.243 --> 00:26:22.681
Shout out to Remain Nameless.

00:26:22.681 --> 00:26:25.845
We already gave Mikey Shea a shout out.

00:26:25.845 --> 00:26:28.423
Am I missing anybody?

00:26:28.423 --> 00:26:33.303
But oh, and one last thing.

00:26:33.303 --> 00:26:38.105
Going back to Kaiser, we still gotta do the Wu-Tang versus.

00:26:38.105 --> 00:26:43.357
He reminded me to remind you about that shit, because it was supposed to be meth, ray and ghost, correct?

00:26:43.357 --> 00:26:45.560
Yes, it was supposed to do the versus.

00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:50.728
I had meth, I think you had Ray, maybe you had ghost, I can take either.

00:26:50.728 --> 00:26:51.970
And then he had the other one.

00:26:51.970 --> 00:26:52.750
So we got to do that.

00:26:52.750 --> 00:26:54.300
We got to do that soon.

00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:55.746
So we got to do that.

00:26:55.746 --> 00:26:56.288
We got to do that soon.

00:26:56.288 --> 00:26:57.224
That could be a.

00:26:57.266 --> 00:26:58.976
Patreon exclusive Mm-hmm.

00:27:00.397 --> 00:27:06.628
But when we got to get back to him He'll respond to this Okay, fair enough, get that shit popping.

00:27:06.628 --> 00:27:11.207
I mean, I don't know.

00:27:11.207 --> 00:27:19.564
I think Mef got the most hits, not because he's the most popular in the group.

00:27:19.584 --> 00:27:32.361
But maybe because he's the most popular in the group, I mean you say that, but remember it's got to be high place Because you got to find the songs and, like I said, you're like, ah, Because the thing is that with you, because you like meth so much, like I like this song, that's the thing.

00:27:32.361 --> 00:27:36.605
It'd be some random track from the meth lab volume two.

00:27:37.247 --> 00:27:41.612
But that's the thing with the Versuses too, who the audience is, who's voting.

00:27:41.612 --> 00:27:47.542
You know what I'm saying, because it could be somebody that just likes the love ballads, the him, and Mary J joins.

00:27:47.542 --> 00:27:49.566
You know what I mean.

00:27:49.566 --> 00:27:53.050
But another listener could be checking for the shit that Ray do, the gutter shit.

00:27:53.050 --> 00:27:56.587
You know what I mean.

00:27:56.587 --> 00:28:04.698
But also, we got to establish the rules too, because there's songs that all three of them are in together, or there's songs that a couple of them might be in together.

00:28:04.698 --> 00:28:05.842
Is it all fair game?

00:28:05.842 --> 00:28:06.920
Whoever plays it first?

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:14.923
We're going to have to establish these ground rules, because if I play a song with all three of them on them, I don't expect you to play that same song.

00:28:14.923 --> 00:28:22.621
You know what I mean, because I could play just the meth part Right, so you can set the rule that way.

00:28:23.282 --> 00:28:26.284
So you basically say everyone got their 20, right?

00:28:26.816 --> 00:28:27.541
No, we're not doing 20.

00:28:27.541 --> 00:28:28.590
That's too much.

00:28:28.590 --> 00:28:29.095
How many you want to do?

00:28:29.095 --> 00:28:29.957
We'll be there all day.

00:28:29.957 --> 00:28:30.719
Let's just do 10.

00:28:32.262 --> 00:28:32.744
Make it 15.

00:28:32.744 --> 00:28:37.882
15 each, come on, but you ain't got to play the whole song.

00:28:37.882 --> 00:28:38.244
Right, right, right.

00:28:38.244 --> 00:28:39.653
So what you're going to do is that you can make it 15.

00:28:39.653 --> 00:28:44.761
Of the 15, 10 that got to be original songs and the other five is basically you just pick the verses.

00:28:44.761 --> 00:28:54.416
So that way, like I said, because we all well, like me and Kaiser, might pick Ray and goes from.

00:28:54.416 --> 00:28:59.769
Maybe that, like for the Ice Cream verse, for example.

00:28:59.769 --> 00:29:02.394
I'm not saying it's going to be a thing, but they've done a lot of shit together.

00:29:02.494 --> 00:29:03.720
And then Mev got the hook on that.

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.401
Right, so it's going to be like this, bro, whoever plays it first.

00:29:08.576 --> 00:29:09.835
Whoever gets to it, gets to it, it'll be fine.

00:29:09.875 --> 00:29:13.465
Whoever plays the song first, that person is going to get credit for it.

00:29:17.615 --> 00:29:20.913
The other two are going to have to adjust, but right now we're selling our rap shit, right?

00:29:20.913 --> 00:29:21.255
What do you mean?

00:29:21.255 --> 00:29:24.515
Right, what we're talking about, mm-hmm, all right.

00:29:24.515 --> 00:29:30.103
So I mean I know we're kind of tailing off Twitter entries, want to get people what we're going to get back to doing.

00:29:30.103 --> 00:29:31.086
So let's make this easy.

00:29:31.086 --> 00:29:34.503
Do you think Wayne deserved to do the Super Bowl?

00:29:35.934 --> 00:29:46.625
No, and the only reason is that has nothing to do with political, has nothing to do with affiliations, with violence, with nothing Racism.

00:29:46.625 --> 00:29:47.666
I got nothing to do with none of that.

00:29:47.666 --> 00:29:49.068
And this is just me.

00:29:49.068 --> 00:29:53.326
I don't know what the true reason for them choosing not to elect him.

00:29:53.326 --> 00:30:01.808
My personal reason is because I saw him perform this year at Wrestlemania In April In Philly.

00:30:01.808 --> 00:30:04.259
Did you watch that shit?

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:07.106
Yes, and that shit was trash.

00:30:07.106 --> 00:30:11.118
That was one of the worst live performances I have ever seen.

00:30:11.118 --> 00:30:15.422
Any hip hopper partaking, do you agree?

00:30:15.422 --> 00:30:20.840
Yeah, granted, he was probably drunk high.

00:30:20.840 --> 00:30:21.903
He was all types of shit.

00:30:22.704 --> 00:30:23.467
There's a bigger problem.

00:30:23.974 --> 00:30:25.982
But the shit was horrible.

00:30:25.982 --> 00:30:27.000
He sounded bad.

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:38.190
He definitely looked disoriented and I'm not saying anybody on the NFL committee or Jay-Z, whatever committee that's put together that's in charge of the halftime show.

00:30:38.190 --> 00:30:39.953
I don't know if they was checking for this.

00:30:39.953 --> 00:30:40.454
You know what I'm saying.

00:30:40.454 --> 00:30:55.461
I don't know if anybody from that committee was watching WrestleMania and saw Wayne's performance or it was a culmination of things that led up, but for me, I saw this performance and I'm like, yeah, I'm good, I'm good on Wayne.

00:30:55.461 --> 00:30:55.942
You know what I mean.

00:30:55.942 --> 00:30:57.760
We could find somebody else.

00:30:57.760 --> 00:31:03.144
And right now, kendrick Lamar with his whole beef with Drake and shit.

00:31:03.144 --> 00:31:04.767
He's right now.

00:31:04.767 --> 00:31:07.362
He's more popular at this point in time.

00:31:07.362 --> 00:31:10.080
He's hotter right now.

00:31:10.080 --> 00:31:14.125
They're playing his music on the radio right now still.

00:31:14.935 --> 00:31:18.903
Outside of Taylor Swift, he might be the most influential, important artist going on right now.

00:31:18.903 --> 00:31:19.365
Correct.

00:31:21.474 --> 00:31:26.163
Now, I was a little surprised that they went to him this early, because he was he performed with Dre.

00:31:26.163 --> 00:31:28.707
What was it a couple years ago?

00:31:30.971 --> 00:31:31.731
What year or so ago?

00:31:31.875 --> 00:31:36.105
Yeah, that's a whole thing he performed with Dre, so I didn't think they were going to go back to hip-hop right away.

00:31:36.105 --> 00:31:36.705
You know what I'm saying.

00:31:36.705 --> 00:31:39.804
I figured they would do pop like a pop person.

00:31:39.804 --> 00:31:55.007
I figured they may, you know, and I'm sure they did reach out to Taylor Swift multiple times and she's like nah, I'm good, I'm too big for this, but I figured they would go to somebody else I don't know who's popular right now that they go here's a problem on the level of the Super Bowl.

00:31:55.386 --> 00:31:59.019
How many acts out there are there that you know, that are like Super Bowl worthy?

00:31:59.560 --> 00:32:07.897
there's not a lot, yeah, but I just didn't think they would go back to hip-hop this soon not, and especially not Kendrick, who just performed with Dr Dre not too long ago.

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:10.945
I don't think they were actually aiming for Kendrick.

00:32:10.945 --> 00:32:15.690
I think just the way that the year has gone, his availability, you had to kind of like do it.

00:32:15.690 --> 00:32:16.230
You know what.

00:32:16.834 --> 00:32:20.284
I'm saying you had Usher last year with Alicia Keys and all of that.

00:32:20.304 --> 00:32:20.746
You know what I mean.

00:32:21.715 --> 00:32:28.558
So I figured they would do a couple of years of that, get like maybe a pop person, an R&B person, somebody more quote, unquote, safe.

00:32:28.558 --> 00:32:29.761
You know what I mean.

00:32:29.761 --> 00:32:31.606
Right, but who Like who's left?

00:32:31.606 --> 00:32:34.568
Because you had Snoop Dogg a couple of years ago, he's.

00:32:34.568 --> 00:32:36.810
You know he was repping the Crips and shit.

00:32:36.810 --> 00:32:38.071
You know he was repping the flag.

00:32:38.071 --> 00:32:40.260
I was like, ah, they're not going to go back to that soon.

00:32:40.865 --> 00:32:45.119
Yeah, but he also out here with Martha Stewart, right, he stopped Cripping a long time ago.

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.702
Now do they?

00:32:52.202 --> 00:32:53.585
let I mean, I guess, Kendrick has to do it.

00:32:53.605 --> 00:32:56.588
You have to do that at least for 20 or 30 seconds.

00:32:56.588 --> 00:33:00.759
Let some people dance.

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.578
Do they allow the crip walking up on the stage?

00:33:04.578 --> 00:33:09.240
Do they allow all the affiliated members to come up on there.

00:33:09.970 --> 00:33:11.155
Snoop was up there whole ass.

00:33:11.155 --> 00:33:11.711
Z-walking.

00:33:11.711 --> 00:33:15.109
Yes, you can do it Once you had Snoop out there.

00:33:15.109 --> 00:33:16.910
Z-walking, anybody can do it.

00:33:17.636 --> 00:33:19.712
But again, that just happened a couple years ago.

00:33:19.712 --> 00:33:21.157
Are they going to allow that again so soon?

00:33:22.730 --> 00:33:29.737
But that's the whole point and I think if you're talking about anything in regards to the influence of Jay-Z in regards to Superbowl, we're going to disregard the soul Kendrick thing.

00:33:29.737 --> 00:33:33.599
It's a fact that they have black artists up there performing and it kind of fits.

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:38.355
Like I said, the thing with usher was in Vegas at time and the reason because he was so popular in Vegas.

00:33:38.355 --> 00:33:43.454
Like you know, people who like took their time have slide to there, go see his show.

00:33:43.454 --> 00:33:44.935
That's how popular he was.

00:33:44.935 --> 00:33:45.817
He happened to be there.

00:33:45.817 --> 00:33:48.020
He doesn't represent Vegas, he just happened to be there.

00:33:48.461 --> 00:33:50.103
People are saying, well, they're New Orleans.

00:33:50.103 --> 00:33:50.943
You have Lil Wayne.

00:33:50.943 --> 00:33:51.986
The whole problem with that.

00:33:51.986 --> 00:34:00.338
It's not what we said before about his performance sucking at WrestleMania, it's the whole thing that when you think about it and you see him, is he drunk or high?

00:34:00.338 --> 00:34:02.315
That's their biggest issue.

00:34:02.315 --> 00:34:05.836
Can you have you out here in the biggest stage fucking up lyrics?

00:34:05.836 --> 00:34:06.960
You think he still drinks lean?

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.954
I don't think so.

00:34:10.954 --> 00:34:11.315
I don't know.

00:34:11.315 --> 00:34:14.126
I don't think I might be off that, but he might be on other substances, and this is just.

00:34:14.126 --> 00:34:16.038
I'm just insinuating.

00:34:16.038 --> 00:34:22.371
I'm not saying that it's true, but the fact that you thought that watching him at WrestleMania says enough.

00:34:22.371 --> 00:34:27.393
So if you put that on an audience of hundreds of millions of people.

00:34:27.393 --> 00:34:29.940
You have to be on your A game.

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:32.018
They're not going to pick no half-ass artists.

00:34:32.018 --> 00:34:38.637
The funny thing about the Super Bowl is that the guy that should have been perfect for the Super Bowl, Drake, Clean enough to get in the pits.

00:34:39.409 --> 00:34:48.048
I was going to ask you do you think Kendrick brings out Drake no, because I just think he doesn't like him.

00:34:48.048 --> 00:34:48.630
Kendrick brings out Drake no.

00:34:49.637 --> 00:34:51.369
I know, because I just think he doesn't like it.

00:34:52.072 --> 00:34:53.539
I don't know if you've been following.

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:56.539
Drake has been playing the Kendrick songs in his concerts.

00:34:56.539 --> 00:35:01.715
Because he recognizes, he's like fuck it, if I can't beat him, let's join him.

00:35:01.715 --> 00:35:06.978
So he'll throw on Not Like Us, and he'll sing and he'll dance along to the shit, which to me is kind of weird.

00:35:06.978 --> 00:35:14.512
It is, but it's also probably like a sign of solidarity, like he's trying to extend the olive branch, it's not?

00:35:14.532 --> 00:35:15.255
weird, you got it.

00:35:15.295 --> 00:35:16.137
Like, you got this.

00:35:16.137 --> 00:35:16.893
You know what I mean.

00:35:16.893 --> 00:35:17.757
Let's move on from it.

00:35:18.431 --> 00:35:23.733
Like it's weird when you say it, but it's not really that weird because, like you said, unless you got some shit saying I'm a pedophile.

00:35:23.974 --> 00:35:29.856
Yeah, but 20 years later you don't see Nas playing a fucking what was the shit Takeover?

00:35:29.856 --> 00:35:31.577
You don't see Jay playing Ether.

00:35:31.577 --> 00:35:33.135
And they've been squashed, they beef.

00:35:34.070 --> 00:35:36.179
Yeah, but they're also two dudes in two different lanes.

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:39.320
Nas still out here performing, jay is not.

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:41.976
Jay out here buying art and all the kind of cool shit.

00:35:42.210 --> 00:35:42.492
Whatever?

00:35:42.534 --> 00:35:44.871
he's doing, man, he got no time for all this.

00:35:44.871 --> 00:35:50.675
Like I said, jay would be a perfect person to have at the Super Bowl, because he has the track record, he has the hits.

00:35:50.695 --> 00:36:00.355
He won't do it, yo, but how wild would it be if Kendrick says you know, remember how Jay brought Nas out when they squashed their beef?

00:36:00.355 --> 00:36:02.291
He's like fuck it, let's do this for hip-hop.

00:36:02.291 --> 00:36:07.402
You imagine Kendrick in front of the world, this is the most audience, the most views he's going to have.

00:36:07.402 --> 00:36:09.538
This is the biggest stage, the Super Bowl halftime show.

00:36:09.538 --> 00:36:12.077
More people are going to watch this than any other show.

00:36:12.077 --> 00:36:17.782
And he says yo fuck it for the culture, no, and brings out Drake.

00:36:17.782 --> 00:36:20.699
And then they do the one song that they got together real quick.

00:36:20.699 --> 00:36:24.217
He can't do it, he can't do it, he can't.

00:36:24.217 --> 00:36:25.679
You think he'll lose some street cred.

00:36:26.681 --> 00:36:32.117
He'll lose all credibility because the whole thing he's trying to point out, like I am the culture, you're a visitor to the culture.

00:36:32.117 --> 00:36:33.114
That's the difference.

00:36:33.114 --> 00:36:35.657
Me trying to beat crush shit up with you is not the thing.

00:36:35.657 --> 00:36:38.255
That's his issue with Drake.

00:36:38.255 --> 00:36:41.873
It's not that he just likes him as a person, he just thinks that he's.

00:36:41.873 --> 00:36:44.514
Like I said, you're not a colleague, you're a fucking colonizer.

00:36:44.514 --> 00:36:47.637
You come in here, you jump on trends, you do all this other kind of shit.

00:36:47.637 --> 00:36:53.744
You sound Jamaican, you do this, you do that and like you're not yourself, you don't represent the culture I do.

00:36:53.744 --> 00:36:56.487
I'm not even saying I am, he's a part of it.

00:36:56.487 --> 00:37:00.333
Kendrick loves this shit.

00:37:00.333 --> 00:37:02.175
Kendrick, like, here's the thing.

00:37:02.175 --> 00:37:05.981
Like I said, he just had a concert in Englewood.

00:37:05.981 --> 00:37:08.063
He just became the most streamed person of all time.

00:37:08.724 --> 00:37:10.215
Yeah, like I said, he had the pop-out thing.

00:37:10.215 --> 00:37:15.920
He put on a little mini concert right there, so you're giving him the stage to do this on the grander scale of the Super Bowl.

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.137
He's the most popular person out there.

00:37:18.137 --> 00:37:19.891
Can you remember the Super Bowl?

00:37:19.891 --> 00:37:21.318
They don't pay you Right.

00:37:21.318 --> 00:37:28.338
All your shit's coming from.

00:37:28.338 --> 00:37:29.030
Like you know you get more streams and shit like that.

00:37:29.030 --> 00:37:30.097
Like I said, that's why Taylor Swift's never doing it Like she's a businesswoman.

00:37:30.097 --> 00:37:30.418
She don't need that shit.

00:37:30.418 --> 00:37:33.637
She's out here endorsing political candidates.

00:37:33.657 --> 00:37:34.693
So you know she don't give a fuck.

00:37:35.215 --> 00:37:36.018
You know she don't need money.

00:37:37.353 --> 00:37:40.731
She don't care if she loses fans, she don't need money, she good.

00:37:41.431 --> 00:37:48.762
And when you get to that part and as you try to figure out who's the bigger star, stars at that level don't come out like that beyonce is not doing this no more.

00:37:48.802 --> 00:37:53.797
I think that's one of the universal signs that they good, they super good when they start endorsing candidates.

00:37:53.797 --> 00:38:06.864
When you see a celebrity endorse a political candidate and they lean one way, you know they good they bag is secure because there's influencers and there's influencers.

00:38:09.094 --> 00:38:11.817
She's an influencer when she says something.

00:38:11.817 --> 00:38:16.458
She has millions of people that follow her trends Friendship bracelets, shit like that.

00:38:16.458 --> 00:38:24.201
If Taylor Swift says you know what, I prefer Pepsi to Coke, Coke stock could fucking plummet Immediately.

00:38:24.201 --> 00:38:25.876
She's just that powerful.

00:38:25.876 --> 00:38:32.605
When she says I'm behind this person, that means it's almost like being in the union, like we all gotta vote for her.

00:38:32.625 --> 00:38:33.489
Now that that's my people.

00:38:34.032 --> 00:38:43.664
So yeah, so when you talk about that level of fame, if you got enough power to like, help, maybe possibly influence a presidential election, what the fuck would you give a fuck about?

00:38:43.664 --> 00:38:44.327
The superbowl?

00:38:44.327 --> 00:38:48.041
Like, I don't care, not doing, she's not doing it.

00:38:48.041 --> 00:38:51.375
Like I said, in the whole thing they bitching about Wayne and being in his town.

00:38:51.375 --> 00:38:54.018
Like yo, when the shit was in Minneapolis, they didn't have Prince there.

00:38:54.018 --> 00:38:57.092
No, if Prince did it somewhere else, it doesn't matter.

00:38:57.092 --> 00:38:57.715
It doesn't matter.

00:38:57.715 --> 00:38:59.512
And, like I said, I don't want to have an argument about Wayne.

00:38:59.512 --> 00:39:00.193
I love Wayne.

00:39:00.193 --> 00:39:04.259
I think he deserves a spot.

00:39:04.259 --> 00:39:06.041
Just because it's home, he's in your top 10?

00:39:06.041 --> 00:39:07.543
, wayne?

00:39:07.543 --> 00:39:11.394
Yeah, easy, easy, no hesitation.

00:39:11.434 --> 00:39:18.871
Wayne is one of those rappers, much like Jay too, that I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten older.

00:39:18.871 --> 00:39:20.777
Does that make sense?

00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.936
Wayne's like LeBron James at rapping.

00:39:23.936 --> 00:39:26.157
You're amazed how long he's been doing this.

00:39:26.157 --> 00:39:27.032
This is going on what?

00:39:27.032 --> 00:39:28.257
30 plus years?

00:39:28.257 --> 00:39:28.798
Yeah, it's crazy.

00:39:28.798 --> 00:39:35.418
Yeah, I mean, and it's all different ones, I just have to the longest time I had to get past his voice.

00:39:35.619 --> 00:39:36.061
You know what I mean.

00:39:36.061 --> 00:39:39.139
I had to get past the voice.

00:39:39.139 --> 00:39:40.436
I had to get past the accent.

00:39:40.436 --> 00:39:42.733
I had to get past, you know what I mean, all of that.

00:39:42.733 --> 00:39:47.202
And then when I started really listening to him and trying to put together the words, I'm like yo, this motherfucker nice.

00:39:47.202 --> 00:39:51.668
He's probably the king of the punchlines and shit.

00:39:52.231 --> 00:39:55.463
Wayne Witty Wayne the Carter series is great.

00:39:55.463 --> 00:39:57.356
His mixtape run is almost impeccable.

00:39:57.356 --> 00:40:00.396
His mixtape run might be making him untouchable.

00:40:00.396 --> 00:40:02.201
No one.

00:40:02.201 --> 00:40:05.273
Maybe fab maybe had a better mixtape run?

00:40:05.273 --> 00:40:07.391
Yes, easily Right.

00:40:07.391 --> 00:40:08.197
So when?

00:40:08.197 --> 00:40:09.061
Maybe fab maybe had a better mixed tape?

00:40:09.061 --> 00:40:09.443
Yes, easily right.

00:40:09.443 --> 00:40:12.014
So when you think about him over time you realize how great he actually is.

00:40:12.014 --> 00:40:14.338
It's not anything negative against wayne.

00:40:14.378 --> 00:40:25.527
Is the fact like fuck, he's good, he's amazingly good, and I don't know how he's still good at this the thing you could do with hip that you can't do in sports, though, is you can say yo, he's the best from the south.

00:40:25.527 --> 00:40:31.490
You know, I mean you could break it down like yo, this guy is the best in new york, this guy is the best cube or whoever's the best out west.

00:40:31.490 --> 00:40:34.958
You know, I mean, wayne is the best in the south.

00:40:34.958 --> 00:40:44.376
You could say that naz and jay and big they're the best in new york but it's a, it's a great comparison because rappers like basketball players, because like.

00:40:44.677 --> 00:40:47.769
It's like how you say someone who's the best shooter.

00:40:47.769 --> 00:40:58.255
It's like saying who's the best lyricist or who's the best um, who has the best double entendres, or who has the best flow, who has the best voice.

00:40:58.255 --> 00:41:08.978
It's like the best storyteller, right, like like dmx might not be in your top 10, but it might be in your top five in regards to like voice and personality and how it makes you feel Like that.

00:41:08.978 --> 00:41:11.635
Yes, that's what's like basketball sometimes.

00:41:11.635 --> 00:41:21.349
Sometimes, when you're a GOAT in basketball and you're a GOAT in rap, that means you have the particular versatility that not a lot of people do Like.

00:41:21.349 --> 00:41:24.797
When you say Jay, he's like oh, jay's in my top five, like, I get it.

00:41:24.797 --> 00:41:30.170
Like you don't even argue Nah, he's in my top five, okay, I get it.

00:41:30.170 --> 00:41:34.018
But you say LL's in my top five, ooh, but then you have to make your case.

00:41:34.018 --> 00:41:39.034
But that's like saying you know, vince is the greatest dunker.

00:41:39.034 --> 00:41:40.038
Most people will say that.

00:41:41.038 --> 00:41:46.981
And LL's like Dominique Wilkins, you're like oh yeah, I forgot how fucking good he was, and the LL album is dope too, son.

00:41:47.240 --> 00:41:48.123
Yeah, the Force is great.

00:41:48.123 --> 00:41:54.436
Actually, it's surprising how well him and Q-Tip go together.

00:41:54.577 --> 00:41:56.891
Q-Tip produced the whole thing, whole thing.

00:41:56.891 --> 00:41:58.778
Do you like the song with him and Eminem?

00:41:58.778 --> 00:42:02.295
No, here we go with this.

00:42:02.295 --> 00:42:03.057
Eminem hate again.

00:42:04.722 --> 00:42:04.882
No.

00:42:06.512 --> 00:42:07.664
LL did his thing on there.

00:42:07.664 --> 00:42:08.675
He went toe to toe.

00:42:08.675 --> 00:42:10.411
He did the fast shit, he did the slow shit.

00:42:10.411 --> 00:42:11.255
You know what I mean?

00:42:11.255 --> 00:42:13.496
I know, but I hate that.

00:42:13.576 --> 00:42:19.315
It's like L they just rapping Right, I know, but I just want L to do what he do in his LL way.

00:42:19.315 --> 00:42:22.512
It's not that I hated the song.

00:42:22.512 --> 00:42:24.610
Actually I like both of them on it.

00:42:24.610 --> 00:42:28.119
I just don't like how it flows together.

00:42:28.561 --> 00:42:31.356
My favorite song is Saturday Night.

00:42:31.356 --> 00:42:32.418
What's that shit called?

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:33.541
Saturday Night Special.

00:42:34.231 --> 00:42:36.077
The only thing I hate about the song is Fat Joe.

00:42:37.030 --> 00:42:37.673
I felt like he didn't fit.

00:42:38.893 --> 00:42:39.936
It just felt like he ain't fit.

00:42:39.936 --> 00:42:42.355
Ll comes on, he spits his shit.

00:42:42.355 --> 00:42:45.021
Ross comes on he's spitting.

00:42:45.021 --> 00:42:55.673
That's what I felt about the Eminem thing and it felt deep, it felt lyrical and then here comes Fat Joe and he's talking about you know the street shit and selling crack and whatever the fuck he does like alright man.

00:42:55.673 --> 00:43:04.594
I felt like his verse didn't fit well, like if they could replace Joe with like a Nas or somebody more lyrical, I thought it would have been better you know what I don't understand about?

00:43:04.634 --> 00:43:07.922
Joe, Like you ain't sold crack in 20 years, man Let that shit go Crack crack.

00:43:07.922 --> 00:43:09.253
Like all right man Joey crack.

00:43:09.253 --> 00:43:09.916
I get it.

00:43:09.916 --> 00:43:13.474
You started a thing with him out here with no shirt on looking sexy.

00:43:13.474 --> 00:43:16.056
Go ahead, Joe, he has some double D titties bro.

00:43:16.056 --> 00:43:19.231
Hey man, you got a little fly boy flapping the wind.

00:43:19.231 --> 00:43:21.652
Fly, pelican fly.

00:43:21.713 --> 00:43:23.014
But yo man, let's end this one.

00:43:23.014 --> 00:43:30.599
I just want to let the culture crew and all the listeners know that we ain't going to, unless something catastrophic happens, you know, a tragedy or something like that.

00:43:31.221 --> 00:43:34.083
Jesus Christ, stop that shit.

00:43:34.143 --> 00:43:35.623
I told you I could get this liver shit.

00:43:35.643 --> 00:43:39.788
looked at he's like it's kind of catastrophic Like let me get my liver together.

00:43:43.603 --> 00:43:44.105
Calm down.

00:43:44.105 --> 00:43:46.148
Yo, we appreciate y'all.

00:43:46.148 --> 00:43:46.811
We got some more shit.

00:43:46.811 --> 00:43:48.559
Yo, the merch is coming though for the Culture Crew members.

00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:49.655
I got the merch on the way.

00:43:49.655 --> 00:43:51.795
