Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the culture Episode 59 It's your boy Jeff I'm here with my man and we got a lot of shit to go over today shout out to our Patreon So first and foremost its the lifestyles of the rich and shameless we want to talk about the riches rappers of all time right now but let's first things first your hey how you doing over there man
00:00:22.469 --> 00:00:35.189
the tropical storm in the past two I'm okay I can't say the same thing for my neighbors around me but all in all I mean the power went out pull out but everything's all right. It definitely could have been something else.
00:00:35.789 --> 00:01:05.310
Yeah, that storm did a number on us out here in Jersey and New York. I was fortunate I live in an area where you know it's not really like a flood zone and I like that had some water in the garage and a damaged some boxes and stuff like that. But I saw horror stories you know, people I know in Passaic. So you know, people were posting stuff on Facebook and you know, water was just flooded into the basements and into the house. It looked like a water for people's cars was flowing away. So peace to them shout out to them.
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.909
She was crazy, bro.
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:39.450
Yeah, was he wanted to go on the block. I see piles and piles of stuff. tables, chairs, couches, TVs, washers, dryers, refrigerators, there's just piles and piles of stuff everywhere like all this stuff in a basement. They got to get it out if that happened early in a week and like I said this is the end of the week and it's still at it and it's still trying to get through it so I mean prayers go out to them but I know it's a lot because like I feel a car stalled out you can see how they like stuck up on a curb with a water pushing there and yes a lot man I want you know, they take the time and get through this and go forward from there.
00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:49.140
Shit. I saw videos of tornadoes. There was tornadoes out here in Jersey for like an hour away from here. Like there was some North some South there should look scary.
00:01:50.549 --> 00:01:56.310
A man climate change is a real thing. People should stop mucking around with it. But storms only gonna get worse. So yep,
00:01:56.489 --> 00:02:00.030
life must go on and the show must go on. So here we are.
00:02:00.569 --> 00:02:15.210
Yo, I got a little gripe with Kanye West broke because he played us last week number we was talking about Donda was never gonna drop in front of it last week. And the very next day after we recorded our episode, he drops it on a surprise what was it on a Sunday assumption?
00:02:15.569 --> 00:02:16.169
I think so.
00:02:16.409 --> 00:02:18.509
Surprise as album comes out.
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.740
He could have kept that shit
00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:38.669
to me she was track I like maybe maybe one or two songs where he actually spent the rest is a singing mumbling and humming and all this bullshit he got a song with Jay on there was I was in Jays best verse and I like that. And then he admits a bunch of songs, because Drake just recently leaked a song that was supposed to be on there with Andre 3000
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:45.539
and Kanye. And what is this? This is? This is beginning of September. Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:46.439
Beginning September 2000. Get the best verse of the year
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.439
on an unreleased song.
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:57.270
That's, you know, I mean, that people are gonna have to, you know, Google or YouTube and shit. Yeah, that would have easily been the best song on the entire Don's album, or shit, even on Drake.
00:02:58.019 --> 00:03:42.508
Even on Drake's album, we're like you want to put it on there like, but like, if I like I really, really, really want people to go out and just Google it and just pull it up. I think that song's called life for the party. And like I said, Listen, this is a 3000 verse like two or three times because it's basically he's, he's having a conversation. We're calling his mother because Andres mother died. She forgot his mother's in heaven. So he wanted calling his mother to tell her a message and he, he just weaves a story, but you gotta listen to it. But then after that, can you talk about some shit between him and Virgil and Drake, I'm like, you get this heartfelt deep, thoughtful message here and he was calling this Babyland shit like, Nah, I'm cool. Man. Donna was okay.
00:03:39.058 --> 00:03:43.408
It had some tracks in it that still go back to
00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.189
me. Would you give it to?
00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.189
I get that? Two,
00:03:47.459 --> 00:04:02.218
three, because it's an inspired effort and I see how if someone's in like some kind of like looking for a spiritual awakening a spiritual crisis, we'll find something important from it. I understand that but it wasn't it. I don't think sort of fall overboard by Drake was it either?
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:10.889
Yeah, but but when Kanye started tweeting and shit that you know that he didn't want to release the album. He goes, you know, he said universal put out the album without his approval.
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:17.490
And they forced him to take this tweet, he goes universal put my album out without my approval.
00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.689
And they force me to take hoarsely warming meds.
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:50.759
What's up with this guy? Oh, because as now, as much as I might appreciate him as an artist, he's more spectacle than artist. No one cares. No one cares. But the most important thing that people are talking about we spend less time talking about the time that we didn't talk about his his tours and putting himself in pretty much hold in the Atlanta Falcons stadium shit like that. So he's a man expect to go he's not a man of vision anymore. Let's say when people come rich, they just start becoming something different. And like I said, even you mentioned the Jay Z verse.
00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:54.029
It was made a lot of people I loved him like Yo, this is this is the mid This is the C level.
00:04:54.149 --> 00:05:03.180
Jay Z verse like he was riding the beat, but that's really not really saying anything or doing anything and just just putting words Together, but like I said, I get added, they both get it.
00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:11.610
We get three out of five men, neither one of them agree what you expected from two of the biggest artists in the world to really show out in China and its didn't man. That's it. That's it.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:21.750
I mean, so Drake drops Friday, less than a week after Kanye and he starts off to meet dope champagne poetry to me is the best song on the ocean because he's actually spitting.
00:05:22.290 --> 00:05:28.290
You know, I feel about rap albums. everybody's like, oh, but you know, it's an r&b album.
00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:50.879
No, he's a rapper. Okay. But he sings throughout 90% of those other shape, but the first song is Champaign poetry and he spin spin. I was like, Okay, this is dope. And if that is your singing, sing and sing in some bullshit, he got the song with Jay Z, which is dope, but he's singing Jay's rapping. He's singing he got a song with Drake with future and Young Thug. I'll pass on that he got us another song with future and too deep.
00:05:47.370 --> 00:06:02.009
He got the one song and then he got the 7am on bridle path which is supposed to be the one that he's disincarnate I mean, I guess it's real subtle or subliminal, because I listened to it multiple times I can I you know I can't really capture any jobs but I guess he could be talking about him.
00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:36.120
I listened to a one without your fucking but neither one of them could they too rich dudes arguing back and forth like the fact that like, yo, you're putting all this energy into like dissing each other or 10 in tracks or sending someone home addresses on so forth. Take the energy and make good music man. Seriously like you're wasting your fuckin time with this every one of them every we just had a discussion about the locks a few weeks ago like when when rappers is rapping this hear the music everything else like that. They want some other shit and they everything spectacle man get back to the quarter shit. Like I don't like even Jay Z i don't understand.
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.420
He doesn't have to do this at all. He doesn't have to do this.
00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:43.379
You don't got to guess first for shit. Like I got other figures.
00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:48.000
I got other things to do. I really don't have to waste my time with neither one of you niggas. I don't got to do this shit.
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:56.220
super frustrating. And then he got the song with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, which you probably agree is probably the best song on the ship easily.
00:06:52.860 --> 00:07:29.129
What's the one when they got the video? Everybody's talking about it? I'm too sexy shit. That's just terrible. What is it called way too sexy. Something like that. That's just stupid. The video just want to watch it because it's funny. And it has kawhi Leonard in there. And he's just looks way out of place in there trying to dance. Stiff is out. But yeah, I give this album just because of the intro. And because of the Rick Ross and Wayne song and because of the JC song. I'm gonna give this one maybe 2.5 or three. Maybe a 2.5 I gave Kanye album a two. I'm gonna give this one a 2.5 just because I like a couple of more songs in it.
00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:35.279
He got Calm the fuck down that shit. But I could they're not terrible. They're just not.
00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:38.100
It's just not mine. I'm not saying they're terrible.
00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:43.980
It's just not my cup of tea. If I'm expecting a rap album and you give me some bullshit r&b album, you know i mean like,
00:07:44.069 --> 00:07:52.350
oh boy, stop Stop. Stop man. What the fuck to expect from these two dudes. What did you expect? Drake always sings Kanye always babbled. You would never go.
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:59.189
But Drake was always like Lauren like he sings Yeah, but he was also spin back in the day. Now he's singing
00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:17.459
in he's been singing for the past few albums. I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to expect from these dudes. They always think not my cup of tea, and all the drinks biggest hits is him singing some shit. Hopefully saying and then go and be an r&b singer in the worst possible way then they want to be James Brown but he not sucks but it happens.
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:25.470
Alright, well, I should have led off with this because I just remembered that we had the vs battle. We had a was a Jay Z versus NAS?
00:08:25.709 --> 00:08:26.310
Yes sir.
00:08:26.579 --> 00:09:13.200
And I just wanted to check the results so we can so we can mention them let's see here we got let me go on the Patreon page. Some people were pissed off bro they were mad that we was leaving you know songs Oh, I'm like it was hard. I'm trying to tell people we did 25 songs Could I have been omitted a couple I probably ended off bad could I ever have included certain not songs yet? I'm sure there's a lot of Jay Z songs that you probably could have included you even places you even play my favorite Jay Z songs like the city is mine and shit like that? Is these just these catalogs are too big. I just left them shut off. Let me just read the comments that people left on the Patreon Eric Nelson Roblox said this should have been a runaway victory for NAS so many songs left out my shit to said this was so close D block said Jeff needs his NAS fanboy card revolt Shame on you.
00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:16.620
People feel how they feel.
00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:25.830
And it looks like only three people voted. So it's two to one Jay Z. Took the No no no.
00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:27.120
I mean, I could change when the other two patrons it's like
00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:40.019
it could it could change just a little thing. But like I said, you're dealing with two people with massive cataloguing and trying to narrow the ship now. The my whole thing was I tried to do things where it was just Jay Z song not some shit he was featured on because he has
00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:42.240
so many of those right?
00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:51.509
And that's the thing that they do a lot in the battle rap versus battle. They just pick songs that they were featured in. They pick songs that they were mentioned in, you know, I mean, yeah, pick songs that they were on the remix.
00:09:52.078 --> 00:10:09.089
Yep. And speaking of that, apparently there's a new one coming up with what? Fat right and I told you I got Fat Joe Obviously you got jobs because you want to be the contrarian and because you hate Latinos, not conference and I don't hate Latinos, you know, keep putting energy at this moment try to swing them back and get them fucked up.
00:10:09.149 --> 00:10:16.590
That one is Tuesday, September 14, live from New York City, but they say, well today, this is gonna be a random ass warehouse or something.
00:10:16.889 --> 00:10:21.240
They probably had. I mean, depending on the day perhaps have it in the Hulu theater too. Okay,
00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:27.330
it should have the deshita Madison Square. Oh, no, I guess after the last fiasco with dipset in them there was like, now we go.
00:10:28.169 --> 00:10:38.460
Anyway. And it's in the time span that the guy who's a 14 that's only two weeks away, probably get it all set up for the guard and so on so forth.
00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:48.389
Like said the NBA season starting what October? Yep. And then in preseason, by starting I probably fucking run in the garden or do the shooting Hulu, but none of the none not here.
00:10:44.190 --> 00:10:56.070
No, no. This is our home. Y'all can have a little concert right over there where they had it before, which is what they're going to do. And that's gonna be it. But But jhabua gonna smoke Fat Joe, I hate tell you that.
00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:58.049
But try this. By the way, we
00:10:58.049 --> 00:11:09.960
got another vote on the Patreon somebody voted to close to call so as to fund we actually got Yeah, we actually got to finance one for j and one and two foot close the call.
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:29.549
Okay, I'm looking at the shit now. That's some asshole did that. For moving along, y'all got I got some sports topics I want to talk about. Sure. First of all, I want to know if you heard about the NBA anti vaxxers rule that they go implement for next season. For certain states, certain states like New York City,
00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:33.539
New York in California.
00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:34.350
Yeah, those the only two were what it is right now. Yeah.
00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:43.080
Where businesses you know, your mandatory for people to be vaccinated. Like, you know, I remember when me and my wife just celebrated our fifth year wedding anniversary.
00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:45.929
Congratulations. Last week, shout out to my wife love you.
00:11:45.990 --> 00:12:19.799
And we actually went to the city, right. And everywhere that we went, they required us to show proof of vaccination. Even in the bars, and I was joking with people. I was like, yo, the bars were asking for vaccination proof, but they wasn't even asking for for IDs. And I was like, No, you're not even asking people where they're of age to be in here. But yeah, I want to know if they're vaccinated. But then you got states like Florida who don't give a shit or the complete opposite their businesses are penalized, or their their laws are penalizing businesses, who are, you know, mandating vaccines. So go figure that shit.
00:12:20.009 --> 00:12:21.690
It's the wild wild west out anyway.
00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:40.919
So next season in the NBA, those states that are requiring vaccines if you're a player in those states, and if you're not vaccinated, you're not allowed to play, you're not even allowed in the building? Correct. So you know, I'm hoping that's not going to affect my team. If half the guys don't want to get vaccinated, we're gonna have to surrender these games. Imagine?
00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:42.690
What are your thoughts on?
00:12:42.899 --> 00:13:29.070
I don't even know how many people I don't even know how many players in the team are vaccinated. Right? But but his players, his coaching staff is everybody that's in New York mandated any indoor thing, you have to be vaccinated. So if you don't want to miss game checks, and so on, and so forth. It's one of them things where it's kind of fucked up that people would put their pride over their health in some cases, like, there are certain NFL players that like, there are their steadfast, like, I'm not going to get vaccinated, and so on and so forth. And I stand against that. But when Colin Kaepernick was going through his shit, they got real quiet. So something about society, you know, you didn't say like, Oh, I'm not gonna play, I'm not gonna do whatever, less than what cat but like, Nah, I'm not taking no needle, man. I lose games, I'll do whatever, like. So selfishness in regards to it.
00:13:29.460 --> 00:14:09.090
The thing with the Knicks, and things would join California, that is trying to do what you think is responsible in the sense of public health, because apparently, some people have heart hit, and they don't want to really do shit. So if you want to go in doors, in any kind of thing, you have to be vaccinated. I'm pretty sure that next is going to, they can't tell you to do so. But they will probably kindly suggest, because if you don't get vaccinated, you don't get paid, you ain't get you don't get paid, you don't play, you don't play, you're not only hurting yourself, you're hurting your teammates, because even though you didn't play this game at home, when we go on the road, you'll be able to play but you know, those for whatever amount of games you missed, because you just didn't want to do this. My cost is in the end.
00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:11.549
So I would hope so. But again, it's a personal choice you would like to do so than you do. So.
00:14:12.149 --> 00:14:24.960
I'm not forcing anybody's hands but the numbers are rising again. And this is a more contagious version of the training we have for you probably should do. So again, it's your choice but if you lose games because of it, just the game and enjoy your life,
00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:41.879
and three of the best teams in the league are all in California we talk about the Warriors The Clippers, the Lakers, you know, I mean, these are three playoff teams. This show could affect them if they got players, you know, I mean, that don't that are, you know, suspicious about the vaccine or skeptical? They don't want to get it or whatnot. Hopefully this doesn't make for a show of a season
00:14:42.149 --> 00:14:45.240
coming up. A much more you can tell them. Do your job.
00:14:45.480 --> 00:15:00.539
Show up? I don't know. They'll seem to loaded. Maybe have half the team is vaccinated the other half does not so when we play home games, the vaccinated team plays on the road everybody plays they got enough depth shit. Paul Paul Millsap a good figured out
00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:13.799
how many you know that's gonna affect your ticket sales to you. I'm saying, let's say LeBron says I'm not getting vaccinated. That's 40 something home games that he won't be able to play in. You think fans are gonna pay to go Swedish to go to your game with no LeBron,
00:15:14.009 --> 00:15:19.169
but I think he already said he's vaccinate I don't know like it's like The Scarlet Letter No one wants to tell you they are not
00:15:19.169 --> 00:15:23.970
vaccinated right? But it's like like like saying what your political affiliation is like people are you don't want to really say to
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:35.190
anyone that is more like do you have herpes Yes or no? And then you get really offended by that question, but we all kind of do. I mean, we're not going to particularly love it but that's where they act in their bodies is super trained.
00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:37.080
So don't forget to do that one way or the other.
00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:45.240
And another sports topic and this might be the funniest one you put me on to this one was the bishop Sycamore situation you wanna explain that shit? So I listened
00:15:47.129 --> 00:16:04.620
I don't know how to I'm gonna try to shorthand this there's a there's apparently a quote unquote High School in Ohio with the it's called Bishop Sycamore. Apparently doesn't exist. But they had a football game against I am IMG Academy of Florida and they got blown out.
00:16:01.590 --> 00:16:05.370
They have so before they had another game to
00:16:05.549 --> 00:16:09.269
like now and they lose like 3947 to nothing
00:16:09.570 --> 00:16:13.350
on a on a call itself.
00:16:09.570 --> 00:16:16.889
The announcer was like we can't recognize ratings, so on so forth. But Hello,
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:25.350
where did they get to be televised on ESPN? They pull some type of heist and got themselves on national television.
00:16:25.590 --> 00:16:53.879
Yes, he has been broadcasted during the game so we don't recognize some of these names of players they sit in their rank this or that but we our databases don't show anything. Then they find out that basically the school is apparently your fraud. The the head coach is head like Warren's office wrestler passing like bad checks up to $100,000 it seems like one of big scam ESPN is blaming the on the sponsors, sponsors to blame it on ESPN.
00:16:50.730 --> 00:17:02.549
Bishop Sycamore basically fantasies dues like his high school football. Everybody knows who everybody is. Yeah, so he's new to school just pops out of nowhere and he does show up on ESPN and you get a little check for it.
00:17:02.850 --> 00:17:04.920
That's shame on ESPN.
00:17:02.850 --> 00:17:07.890
You're not doing research. I mean, the website doesn't work.
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:12.269
They're going you got the bishop Sycamores that doesn't work. You look for the address. They've given two different addresses.
00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:18.900
And when you try to Google those addresses, they're like warehouses or some shit. Like pictures might be a peel box.
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.900
Yo, and they get blown out.
00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:27.359
Yeah, they This is their record or they lost a game 56 to six, they lost another 137 to 14 they lost 138 to zero 19 to seven.
00:17:28.049 --> 00:17:32.099
And they got to be on ESPN bro.
00:17:28.049 --> 00:17:34.049
And you can't even put it out. I dropped it from like your mom.
00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:37.559
They're gonna put the show on the resume like Yo, I played on espn. go right to jail.
00:17:38.339 --> 00:17:46.829
And like I said, these high school kids they postgrads like 1819 years old again smoked by high school kids she good to play in the first place.
00:17:47.190 --> 00:18:52.049
I'm gonna put the links to the stories on the show notes like I do every week. So yeah, good morning. That show was just hilarious. But Yo, I have a I have a few new segments. We're not new segments. But I have another segment of is that racist? Let me know how you feel about it. Check this out. Black man. This is the headline on ABC News. Black Man sues Detroit bank alleging racial discrimination wrongful accusation of fraud. A Michigan man has filed a lawsuit against a Midwest banking chain this week accusing a racial profiling after a teller called the police on him and wrongfully accused him of fraud. santore Thomas was attempting to deposit two large checks that he'd received as part of a workplace racial discrimination. So he won a lawsuit for being racially discriminated against that work right? So when he gets those checks after winning that law, so he goes to the bank to cash those checks and then gets racially discriminated against again. So now he's suing that bank and I don't know how that's gonna go but he busted make bank here right now for being discriminated against twice. And in a short time. He might have to be a professional sewer but
00:18:52.049 --> 00:18:52.500
continue
00:18:52.619 --> 00:19:09.180
and he's an Air Force veteran. 44 year old he's an Air Force veteran said he felt humiliated and embarrassed when police arrived about 10 minutes later to investigate the fraud claims. He said he was treated as if he'd done something wrong and he's convinced that the bank assumed the checks were bad because he is black. What's the name of his bank? Because are they racist?
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.799
I mean, what, wherever?
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.799
Whatever it is, I'm not
00:19:15.150 --> 00:19:34.920
a bank in Livonia, Michigan, I don't know what the fuck tcfs mean either, but they refused to accept this check. So they thought they were they weren't legit. I wonder how much these checks were for. You imagine black dude walks in a bank with two huge as GCF and they're like, yeah, nah, sir. We invalidate initiative.
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.990
It's TCF Bank. Correct.
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.990
The colors forgery. Gotcha.
00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.349
Okay.
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.890
So are they racist?
00:19:44.250 --> 00:19:52.349
Fuck yeah. Come on, man. It's harder for near Caddyshack in general meaning tell me I can't go to a bank and get shaken like it's obvious.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:20:16.259
But even he tried to do something of that large amount, right? Yeah, even go to your regular bank. You try to put like maybe like $200 first thing to say is like, come see somebody They know who you are like you got to show them government issued ID to get anything out of a bank. Get a bank card anything like, I don't know if he had an account with them or not. You might have all the account keys might be owning them soon enough. But is it racist? Oh, yeah. Come on, man.
00:20:12.690 --> 00:20:18.240
Like I'm trying to do it. I'm just trying to catch this shit and going about my merry way.
00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:28.740
Like say, I don't think you're trying to catch a fire trying to deposit because a large sum of money and they want to let him do that. So it's probably his bank. If he didn't just come out the blue and his blood just is fraud. Y'all can assume that.
00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:40.470
Like I said, you're covered by the FDIC if something goes wrong with regard to frozen that you're federally insured, you're protected. I don't think he had an idea for like $100,000 I think that's what the max is up to. So is it racist? Sure.
00:20:40.950 --> 00:20:49.710
Now, let me ask you some Do you think if you go into a bank with a very large sum of money or a big ass check, you feel like you got to go in there dressed a certain way or not?
00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:56.670
You're gonna go in there with your Yankee hat on your Timberland boots or you feel like you're gonna have to like put on a suit just for them to take you more serious
00:20:57.089 --> 00:21:47.609
like you know how like you have the lotto like let's see like I won the lotto for $2 million right and give me one big ass checks Yep, like that's like to just be funny are probably coming in dressed like the monopoly man top hat and monocle and everything. And I want you to smile when I come with a big ass check and like put it off and like sign off like you guys kind of in the back and everything else like that. Sure. But do I think you need to be dressed a certain appropriate way now because I don't believe in I don't believe in cultural appropriation. I do believe in that. But I don't believe in the determine looking forward I can't really find the top of my head like a bias keratitis I don't think I cannot find the term but I don't think I'm not a person that believes that you're close to be a definitive factor in defining you. Right like people think that if you dress a certain way x certain way you speak a certain way you'd be able to voice certain things impossible.
00:21:44.250 --> 00:22:15.660
You can be the best dressed colored man in the world you still get shot by someone or killed by the police or harassed by them and so on so forth. This dude's a 44 year old military veteran. He just came in there he served his country he did his job he got discriminated one job apparently he won so you want to deposit this check? They won't even allow him to do so just because of that and probably how he was dressed was who he was just being like I said you can put in the finest garments in the world that's not going to change how people perceive you.
00:22:11.970 --> 00:22:26.700
So him doing so want to change anything and now he's going to get more money from them now and I wouldn't be petty i would i would win that lawsuit and deposit it in a bank just to be just show up everyday and take out $1 order my face.
00:22:27.210 --> 00:22:30.269
Now after that I'm taking my money out of the bank I'm not putting my money in the bank.
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.509
It's putting a checking account some shit that don't earn interest. I'll go again I'm
00:22:33.509 --> 00:22:37.380
like Yo, what's the least racist bank? Chase? I'm putting all my shit and chase
00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:50.309
oh look cheating sponsors they all got problematically right in regards to race relations and redlining so I'm not gonna blame a man just make it the best I can. I don't know about that. I gotta see your policies and your history if I say anything.
00:22:50.789 --> 00:23:17.039
thing on the topic of racism I have does He say the N word. And I want you to tell me if you think this particular person because the New England Patriots just let go of killer cam. Carolina Cam Newton. After everybody thought he was gonna be to, you know, the starting quarterback. Now, do you think Bill Belichick is racist? We all know that he has zero patience.
00:23:17.069 --> 00:24:01.559
You know, I'm saying we're players like he, you know, when when Brady was there, it won't matter who was on the team and Tonio brown or whatever. All Star receivers. If you gave him a hard time you were gone. He didn't care. He knew his system and his quarterback were good enough that they were going to win, regardless of who was on the roster, right? But then I started thinking I'm like, yo, he doesn't take a lot of shit from people. But he doesn't take a lot of shift from black athletes because he takes shit from like a gronkowski when he was there, you know, I'm saying potty and on yachts and shear the day before game or whatever, you know, you say shit to him. I don't know what cam did. You know? But he likes it. He's supposed to be like that rookie quarterback. He got to start his ass everybody calling him like Tom Brady. 2.0 shit. So anyway, your thoughts on Bill Belichick.
00:24:02.009 --> 00:24:02.970
You're not a racist.
00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:04.380
He's not a racist. No,
00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:22.289
there's no way you survive in this league for all them years and you're out not racist. Knowing how, like I say it's got nothing to do with winning because let's say it was some years in Cleveland and wonderfully count New York Times he wasn't winning in early New England. wasn't working out too early there. They trying to win this run for the past 20 years.
00:24:22.289 --> 00:24:30.960
It makes a big difference. But do I think he's racist? No. I think I think Bill is hard. I think Bill is difficult but I think Bill knows what he wants.
00:24:27.390 --> 00:24:36.329
The thing we're breeding is that even though like you kind of see like he was a golden child, a golden boy, they went at it and they argued and so on so forth.
00:24:36.359 --> 00:25:10.349
That's why you know, he was interested in keeping my castle that's why he's interested in when they didn't want to let Jimmy g go because like well, whenever we're ready to place Brady we're ready to replace him like Bill and it gives a shit about wanting him to talk about color. If he did that Ross would look completely different. Like that most quarterbacks are white and you haven't had one of the best if not the best quarterback of all time. situation with cam I mean the writing was on the wall. Just Like we spent the second third or fourth round pick up Mike Jones. They spent it in the first they they got him to replace him as soon as possible. Cam was on a short deal coming off an injury and that one of the best seasons.
00:25:10.710 --> 00:25:19.799
Matt Jones played really well in the preseason. He had to get camp before not here. Not a racist thing Gods happen to be better so it's Bill Belichick racist No, no it's not alright, fair
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:24.299
enough. I mean, it doesn't help the bills a place in Boston which is historically considered one of the most racist
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:46.920
yeah but it can't see that boards but the thing about Matt Jones is right place right time because if he was in a different situation like he got drafted by Chicago he would be dead He probably might end up beating out Andy Dalton but behind the of the line he'd have been murdered and shot in fucking face but right place right coach right time if it's a system if it's what they're trying to do so now just his business is just business with Bill nothing more than less.
00:25:47.400 --> 00:26:07.140
Right? What did you get into the ghetto word of the day before we take a break and get a word? Get a word of the week is shady like m&m Slim Shady according to urban dictionary, they have multiple definitions.
00:26:02.130 --> 00:26:25.680
To act fake or to be a hypocrite. shifty, sly, suspicious, dark, low, the shady looking man slipped into the bar. Let's see. So that's shady on urban dictionary calm. We usually just say like, yo, you shady or you're fucked up.
00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:30.180
You're wrong for that. I think m&m got the term popular just by using the shit as his moniker you know, Slim Shady,
00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:50.309
the one of the things that's been around for a very long time, shade has always been shading. eminent might have just made a little bit because name is record label after it but you didn't really get the meaning behind this but shading but shade has been shady, like people been acting shady since the 80s. So it's not just happening around necessarily shady aftermath.
00:26:50.730 --> 00:26:58.619
We'll just take a break when we come back, we're going to discuss the riches rappers of all time. Yeah. They represent a culture
00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:00.180
to represent like,
00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:10.950
the culture podcast. I and let's run down the top 30 riches rappers. You ready for that?
00:27:11.099 --> 00:27:11.730
Sure.
00:27:11.910 --> 00:27:57.690
Let's go some names on here that I was kind of surprised that they were on here. And I was also some some that I was surprised at where they rank. So we'll start with number 30. What a network a net worth of $50 million is ti tip Harris. And I'll preface by saying is that most of these guys are probably not on this list because of like just the wrapping, but mostly because of like the outside ventures Would you agree like their businesses, other brands and other shades or you know shit that they've invested in? 1,000%? Yeah, he's a good rapper. But he's also a songwriter, and actor and entrepreneur, record producer.
00:27:50.670 --> 00:28:07.440
He's been around since 99. So as of this year, this is an up to date list. his net worth is 50 million ti at 29 with a net worth of 50 million as well.
00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:13.259
Come millionaire which I'm shocked because I don't I don't know what he makes money off of.
00:28:10.529 --> 00:28:13.259
I mean, we know he's a rapper.
00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:22.319
He's also an entrepreneur, a businessman and an investor. Oh, it looks like he co founded he was the co founder and original member of the color change and click
00:28:23.309 --> 00:28:27.539
chain for top. We had to chain with the triple C's on Instagram, right?
00:28:28.049 --> 00:28:28.799
Okay, well,
00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:40.380
he just he's made his money over time. Like I said, right and dirty song is played ad nauseum and movies, TVs commercials. So there's always gonna be some residuals he'll give it a rest of his life.
00:28:38.069 --> 00:28:42.299
Right and I said more likely probably invested in everything worked itself out.
00:28:42.809 --> 00:29:01.319
I mean, shit, I guess. I guess those when we asked this to Glenn, the one that is when when we had him on with DC Glen we asked him like, how far can a one hit one to take you? And I guess for a lot of these guys, it could take them far. You know, I'm saying because this songs I just be you know, obviously what that is they still eat and offer that today.
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:18.269
You still hear that shit on commercials and movies and whatever. Um, and I guess right and dirty was one of them sheets for chameleon. They're probably still you know, for us. At 28 with a net worth of $60 million.
00:29:13.410 --> 00:29:30.029
We have Wiz Khalifa, rapper, singer, actor, songwriter. He's best known for his say, yeah, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow. And see you again, which was nominated for several Grammys.
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:49.019
So yeah, I don't know. I don't know what else he's making money off of, but I guess he's worth 60 million. Number 27. And I don't even think this guy should be on this list. Because he ain't no rapper to me, but I guess he is. And it's sigh he's worth $16 million. sigh that Gangnam Style guy. Huh? How is he considered a rapper?
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:51.180
They can be considered a rap song.
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:59.609
So $60 million. And most if not all of that is from that Gangnam Style fucking song.
00:29:55.079 --> 00:30:02.579
Correct? Because he was on what was he was Like on one of them shows, it was the singing show.
00:30:03.210 --> 00:30:08.400
I don't know so many of them, but like I said, he'll pop up on that they replay the song, they use it, they master it.
00:30:08.730 --> 00:30:18.359
Probably he makes that much money, because he's probably the owner of the song itself. So whenever it's us, he gets a bigger cut than most. But yeah, they're guys that are there that are gonna make money. That's another.
00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:30.599
Here's the second South Korean music artist to appear at the MTV Europe Music Awards. He made a big fortune from the success of Gangnam Style and endorsement deals with brands including Samsung, wow, shit, different parts
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:40.920
of the world have been part of the country, they make money there. And if he's going to be an investor, or he's going to be a brand endorser, they probably didn't. Well, you pop in that country. That's where he's native land is from Tony.
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.960
Yeah, well, yeah. That makes sense.
00:30:43.259 --> 00:31:01.769
And those countries are real loyal. You know, I'm saying we talk about like, Asian countries or whatever. Like, they're real loyal to, like, you know, I mean, to their celebrities, or their athletes or their musicians. And there's a lot of money to be made in those countries. Sure. At number 26 I'm surprised to see this guy on the list Jay Cole with a net worth of 16 million as well.
00:31:02.069 --> 00:31:03.420
were surprised him and list.
00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:06.390
I mean, cuz I don't know.
00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:25.319
I mean, he's a good rapper. He's got a grant money, but I don't I don't see him. You know, I'm saying like, I don't see him as like a rich person when you see him. You know, I'm just looking regular. I don't really see him in commercials. I don't know what endorsement deals he obviously has something. But you know, he's a rapper. He's an artist. He's a songwriter. He's a producer. And he's apparently one of the highest paid rappers.
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.640
So you trying to tell me that he the way he dresses doesn't make it look like no,
00:31:30.569 --> 00:31:35.940
no, that's not what I'm saying is when you look at Jay Z, right? When you see Jay Z and you see him all over your TV.
00:31:36.450 --> 00:31:39.089
Like, you know, he got money.
00:31:36.450 --> 00:31:48.569
You see pictures of him and yachts, you see pictures of hymns, you know, at a war shows or allowances with suits on him and Beyonce walking around red carpets, you'd be like, okay, they come from money, you know, I
00:31:48.569 --> 00:31:52.079
mean, yeah, but the whole thing you see a lot of motherfuckers that's not enough.
00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:55.890
Let's dress the same way. And then I hear cuz you know why they rent that? Should they burnish it? They look it, but they're not that.
00:31:56.250 --> 00:32:06.059
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to make it about what your dress I'm just saying. Like, overall, when you look at Jay Cole, if you didn't know he was on this list, you wouldn't look at him and be like, Yeah, he's on the list of top, you know, riches rappers.
00:32:06.509 --> 00:32:10.859
I haven't even I know I flip through here. But and I know, I'm going to see him here.
00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:51.450
I know, I'm going to see Drake here. And I'm not going to see Kendrick here. I'm doing a cursory knowledge because I know, those three have been the biggest hip hop artists in the past decade. So now it doesn't really mean that they're going to be ultra over which well, they kind of two into degree when it comes to this list. But because of their presence and in society and the presence in hip hop, they're going to make their money one way or another. And like I said, a lot of them, some of it is from their sales and in producing and so on and so forth. But all of them advertise shit just shit. We don't pay attention to it. Because remember, Kendrick had the Reebok classic deal Jay Cole had a sneaker deal. Drake has the Ovi online and so on so forth.
00:32:51.779 --> 00:33:00.599
So they just happen to be rappers that do other outside business ventures doing pretty much where the bulk of its money comes from. Doesn't Matter of fact, before we scroll past Jay Cole, who's next
00:33:01.109 --> 00:33:23.849
number 25 with a net worth of 16 million and this is where we start getting into guys that are you know, have made most of their money on television and acting. This is iced tea. Yeah, he was, you know, a gangster rapper late 80s, early 90s. But for the most part, everybody knows him from being on on order. Like he's been on over 400 episodes of that shit. He's been on a show for what like a good 10 1520 years now.
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.339
Maybe 20 plus in a very long time.
00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:35.160
So I think it's safe to say and he had he's had reality shows and his wife Coco, it's safe to say that the majority of that net worth has come from television deals.
00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:53.309
Yeah, all these guys are rappers even like why would side be there because like I said, none of these guys really make money off rap. And like I said who the very next guy is a Reverend at 24 six $6 million right. Run DMC and put on the AMA God knows long I mean, recipes. Jenna Jam Master Jay.
00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:56.819
But it's advertisements TV shows. It's
00:33:56.849 --> 00:34:00.509
we got mad for a show.
00:33:56.849 --> 00:34:00.509
Yes. reality shows his comedian.
00:34:01.049 --> 00:34:05.759
Yeah, right. And, you know, like hip hop gets you in the door.
00:34:05.789 --> 00:34:28.469
Right? And I think Ice Cube was good at this he I think he was probably the first I mean, unless you want to go back to Will Smith. But Ice Cube was that guy, you know, where he made it as he got into door as a rapper and it just went into film right away started making movies. He was in boys in the hood. And then he started doing the Friday franchise. Q cube Yeah, because the rapper, but that's when he came in the door as a rapper
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.309
and then having him and tell the forefathers of that.
00:34:32.398 --> 00:34:37.318
I think you can even add Will Smith too, because he was a rapper. He was on TV too, when he was fresh prints,
00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:40.920
right? But I guarantee we look at the list will smith name will not be on here.
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:59.969
No, and it probably should be. But number 23 we have NAS net worth of 70 million. And we know most of his money has been investments. You know, I'm saying he's not even probably not even making money off albums anymore. But he's been notoriously known for, you know being invested in a huge number.
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.440
Esther in a very successful investment type, he was like one of the first people that invested in like Lyft which is now rival to Uber and shit like that.
00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:19.409
Now he recently did change the game and go on alcohol. He's like the spokesperson for for what is the Hennessy even spoke for Hennessy forever? You know, him and Manny Pacquiao. Yeah, he
00:35:19.409 --> 00:35:24.329
used to be the spokesperson. I don't know if he still is, what was the ESCO echo brand his shit.
00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:26.969
Echo Come on next.
00:35:26.969 --> 00:35:34.500
I don't know. But he was the first ambassador to the shit. But I'm just saying I'm just making the point that you know, the RF as well as from all types of endorsements and and,
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:39.449
and great investments and JV with the brand owner Rockaway in my widow, she's a she
00:35:40.650 --> 00:35:47.159
check it out at 22 with a net worth of 75 million we have Well, I am from the black IPS,
00:35:47.369 --> 00:35:55.320
I thought it would have been higher. Really. point where we got we'll be producing forever. So I'm surprised that he's that but okay.
00:35:56.460 --> 00:36:05.909
He has to be invested in some shit on the low like low key invested in crazy as companies, because they're not making this this type of money just on producing albums for the black IPS, you
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:31.800
know, I mean, I'm not I mean will, will will I am like I said he wanted to reverse. Like, if you look up all the shit, he's actually predict what I am is produced a lot of songs don't kind of realize like, it's kinda like the whole babyface thing when people think of a singer like now he's a songwriter, and he's a producer, like he produced a ton of shit. But you kind of get a fucked up. You're thinking like, Oh, he's just a guy who sings Far from it? Well, I am is kind of like that. So not surprising, but I thought he'd be hard. At 21
00:36:31.829 --> 00:36:36.000
you mentioned him with a net worth of 75 million we got Kendrick Lamar
00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:46.500
figured out. Because like I said, even though hip hop don't pay when you're one of the top artists, I think it's pretty much in agreement as him Cole and Drake for this generation.
00:36:47.039 --> 00:37:00.030
Like, those are the guys you hear from those guys who albums you bought, and listen to and when they actually put the name behind some or whatever. Like I said, I mean, I've never had a deal for the Reebok classics.
00:36:56.909 --> 00:37:38.789
That's all he really wears. So that was a thing for him. Like I said, and I think but him at the time, especially earliest for I mean, since he said it's gonna be a blast TV TV coming up. He did tour a lot early and that's really the, the way the bulk of these gentlemen make like the younger ones. It's always gonna be that like, these guys go on tour all the time. They have an album, The tour and album tour like like Drake has always stadium tours. Jay Cole, the stadium tours, you're not 15 20,000 savings is 40 50,000 savings, and they're doing it like 4050 nights out of the year. So for that, for those of you guys, I can see I know Drake's gonna be higher than that, because everything that he does, but this is not really surprised, but kindergym make a whole lot of sense.
00:37:39.210 --> 00:37:58.289
Number 20 with a net worth of 80 million a con, and we'd know everything they condos for Africa and West Africa. Like you know, he donates all types of shade pays all types of light bills for like the entire country. The man trying to make his own crypto, she $80 million.
00:37:52.139 --> 00:38:02.550
Number 19. We got Timberland with a net worth of $85 million.
00:37:58.469 --> 00:38:11.909
See now Timberland is one of those guys that I can say yeah, he makes money off a producer because he produces for everybody. You know, I'm saying and he makes hits for everybody every genre, r&b, rap, you know, pop.
00:38:13.230 --> 00:38:14.039
longevity.
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:38.519
Yeah. been doing it for a very long time. He has so many and he has so many artists under his umbrella. You know, genuine Missy, you know, I mean, I wonder if he's making? Well, he didn't produce anything for Leah did. He did what am I talking about? He did. I'm tripping and now that they released her catalog out because I was gonna ask you That's what I meant to ask you was like, does he eat from that? Do you think he's making money now that her catalog has been released and it's available now in order platforms? Did you produce it?
00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:40.320
you produce a lot of estrogen?
00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:40.320
Yes,
00:38:40.409 --> 00:38:45.840
absolutely. If I if I if I if I test that novena, my name is produced on this.
00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:47.190
Whenever that she gets played, I'm giving me a percentage of that.
00:38:47.550 --> 00:38:55.260
Number 18. We've got Nicki Minaj, with a net worth of 85 million, and she might be the only female on this list.
00:38:55.500 --> 00:39:08.820
Now disrespectful to her. I should at least include her in that same list. It should be Nikki Drake, Cole, and Kendrick because she deserves it too. Well, this is that, like, the rappers of this generation?
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:08.820
She should be a part of that.
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:13.800
Yeah. And she's the most most influential female rapper of all time. So Oh, I
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:24.869
mean, I don't know if she's remotely I guess is she definitely the most she's definitely the most commercially successful. Don't overthink it.
00:39:19.530 --> 00:39:36.570
Don't overthink it. 17 number 17 with a net worth of 90 million, and you can probably put 17 and 16 together because it's the Beastie Boys, Adam Horovitz and Michael diamond, Mike D both have a net worth of 90 million.
00:39:36.900 --> 00:39:42.360
I honestly don't know what they've invested in or what they're making money on. Because they didn't really make any music.
00:39:42.659 --> 00:39:48.840
They don't have to they own everything Beastie Boys related. It was three of them.
00:39:45.030 --> 00:39:49.199
But the third but but ad rock died.
00:39:49.409 --> 00:39:53.579
Yeah. And they're one of the fathers of Def Jam records, correct?
00:39:53.730 --> 00:40:13.139
Yes. So all types of shit. Know the diff between them and airbrush that they own all of their masters really Every single one, they own them all that Def Jam don't own their masters, they own them. So whenever they're plugged into a commercial or whatever, or you use a snippet of something, they get paid off that automatically they gotta bust it out when nobody else is just them. There we go.
00:40:13.139 --> 00:40:24.269
We mentioned this guy before, number 15. And I thought this guy would probably be higher up on the list $100 million net worth. Pitbull, Mr.
00:40:19.110 --> 00:40:26.969
305 he's just like the king of dropping hits just once like, you know, hit singles.
00:40:27.989 --> 00:40:37.949
Do like I said, we're talking about before by Tony, he's the king. He's on it. He's never in studio. He's on the stage somewhere performing some song he just did 1,000%
00:40:38.429 --> 00:40:49.469
at number 14 with a net worth of 100 million Birdman. I can see Birdman just because of all the, you know, all the orders that he got under him on his umbrella. He owns the label.
00:40:49.469 --> 00:41:15.360
So sure it makes it a lot easier. Here we go. Another another rapper turned back to$120 million net worth and number 13 LL Cool J. Ladies love cool. James James Thomas Smith, one of the goats. Yeah, I think I would think that one. I mean, I guess he has, you know, he's been dropping albums since the 80s. So he's made a lot of money on rap. But I think a lot of that money is probably on, you know, television shows and movies and shit.
00:41:15.750 --> 00:41:36.900
I mean, it hasn't really been I mean, the television show they haven't been around that much. But I mean, I know he's doing the CSI thing and I think that you got to take them all these guys that it's not one thing they happen to be rappers but you cannot be successful or, or even think of this type of wealth. lets you open up multiple streams of income. You got to wrap right.
00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:38.699
Like I said, I remember what he like, like a workout book and some shit like that.
00:41:39.059 --> 00:41:43.829
Yeah, I'll type. He had a he had a TV show where Christy teegan Yeah,
00:41:44.128 --> 00:41:51.869
I don't know when it's coming back. But losing, losing battle, and all that kind of stuff. There is always different avenues like these guys never stopped working. That's why they're rich. And
00:41:51.869 --> 00:41:59.130
again, first rap on Def Jam show. That's where some number 12 $150 network Swiss beats.
00:42:01.619 --> 00:42:06.300
Did you mean $150 million? And what did I say? I say it's $150 net worth
