Wondering how a year can zip by with its fair share of ups and downs? Look no further, as we wrap up the whirlwind of 2023, sharing chuckles and stats that reveal our most avid listeners hail from cities far and wide, some which we've yet to set foot in. The dedication of our "Culture Crew" kept us anchored in a year where our episode count might've dipped, but not the depth of conversations—from the fierce debates in hip-hop circles to the subjective nature of musical taste, we cover it all with our usual blend of insight and humor.

Let's get into the meat of the music discourse, shall we? Hip-hop heads, brace yourselves for a hearty discussion on the genre's landscape as Jeff rattles off his top 5 rap verses of 2023 with Eminem's vexed verse on "The Realest" and the Kendrick vs. Cole debate offering a ringside view to the ongoing battle for lyrical supremacy. Meanwhile, our admiration for the artistry of Lil Wayne and the likes of Benny the Butcher and Method Man underscores the rich tapestry of rap that continues to captivate and influence. Whether you're a purist or a newcomer to the scene, this episode promises a blend of nostalgia and fresh takes.

But it's not all beats and bars. We pivot to heart-pumping moments in sports and sobering reflections on current events as we break down our most memorable moments of the year. The finality of Tom Brady's retirement and LeBron James' historical feats contrast with the gravity of discussing political satire amidst Trump's indictment, and the harrowing rise in mass shootings. Our conversation traverses these subjects with the same candidness and wit you've come to associate with our show, while always respecting the weight of these topics. Tune in for a year-end episode that balances the lighthearted with the profound, always aiming to leave you informed and, yes, entertained. #2023 #hiphop #theculture #hiphopculture #politics #trump #lebron #bestrapverses

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.447
Yo, this is the final episode of the year.

00:01:30.447 --> 00:01:32.331
This is our year in review.

00:01:32.331 --> 00:01:36.430
2023 Was a long year, a lot of ups and downs.

00:01:36.430 --> 00:01:41.290
Shout out to the culture crew man, thank you, keeping us, keeping us going.

00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:43.846
There was some highs and was some lows.

00:01:43.846 --> 00:01:44.852
I'm gonna give you the numbers, man.

00:01:45.334 --> 00:01:51.941
That's every year, shit, every high as low yo, this year we only did 26 episodes, man, that's.

00:01:51.941 --> 00:01:55.549
That was about two episodes a month, which is down from last year.

00:01:55.549 --> 00:02:03.941
It's every pay period, yeah, but there was, there was a time where we was dropping episodes weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, you know I'm saying.

00:02:03.941 --> 00:02:05.165
But a lot has happened.

00:02:05.165 --> 00:02:09.793
Like you know I'm saying, we launched the YouTube so I've been real occupied with that, working on the website.

00:02:09.793 --> 00:02:11.520
You know I'm saying we have personal lives.

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.086
Oh, your PO officer is keeping you away.

00:02:14.145 --> 00:02:16.973
Hey, hey, it's the.

00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:22.289
So we average 2.17 episodes per month.

00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:25.382
Yay, check this out.

00:02:25.382 --> 00:02:37.865
This is a stat that was alarm, not alarming, but was interesting to me because, as far as like our demographics, you know, you would think that like friends and family would be your top demographic, right, your top listeners.

00:02:37.865 --> 00:02:42.671
The number one city I'm gonna give you the top five cities that we were listening in.

00:02:42.671 --> 00:02:52.087
The number one most popular city that our show is in Los Angeles, california, which is wild to me because I don't really even know anybody in California.

00:02:52.087 --> 00:02:55.824
I know I have a, I have an ex-co-worker Shout out to my man Jillson.

00:02:55.824 --> 00:03:00.485
I know he listens, he lives out in LA, but that's the only person I know.

00:03:00.485 --> 00:03:00.986
You know what I mean.

00:03:00.986 --> 00:03:01.329
Out there.

00:03:01.329 --> 00:03:03.103
We got Mikey she.

00:03:03.103 --> 00:03:04.165
He lives in Portland, oregon.

00:03:04.165 --> 00:03:05.871
I mean, that's close, but that's not Los Angeles.

00:03:05.871 --> 00:03:06.622
It's pretty.

00:03:06.622 --> 00:03:09.007
That's the number one city that we were downloaded in.

00:03:09.769 --> 00:03:20.288
I guess we better not talk about no gang show on here number two was Phoenix, Arizona and 2023 nigga, I know nobody in Phoenix, I don't know nobody man.

00:03:20.808 --> 00:03:23.634
Number three was Chicago Illinois.

00:03:23.634 --> 00:03:24.281
What's what?

00:03:24.281 --> 00:03:27.247
All these gang towns, tommy, tommy, egan, and none was out there.

00:03:27.247 --> 00:03:29.233
The whole power crew listening to the culture.

00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:34.355
We got Bloods and Crips from LA, gd's and Black Stones from Chicago.

00:03:34.355 --> 00:03:35.659
What other gang cities doing there?

00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:36.884
We're gonna change this podcast.

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:39.526
I don't know nobody man in Chicago.

00:03:39.526 --> 00:03:43.280
My sister lived out there for six months back in the day and I went out there one time.

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:43.801
That's you know.

00:03:43.801 --> 00:03:44.765
That's as far as I was.

00:03:44.765 --> 00:03:46.905
Chicago flew there.

00:03:46.905 --> 00:03:48.509
No, I drove out there.

00:03:48.509 --> 00:03:50.366
It's a 12-hour drive.

00:03:50.366 --> 00:03:51.432
Anyways, shit.

00:03:51.432 --> 00:03:57.270
Number four On the cities that listen to us the most was Dallas, texas.

00:03:57.270 --> 00:03:58.752
You know anybody in Texas?

00:04:00.481 --> 00:04:03.403
No, Shout out to Dallas.

00:04:03.403 --> 00:04:06.812
Yeah, I don't know how these numbers move, like I don't know.

00:04:06.812 --> 00:04:08.580
No niggas, dallas, la.

00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:13.312
I mean, that's a good thing, though, like my niece goes to school in Chicago, but she started going this year.

00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:16.447
Mm-hmm, and I don't think there's no Gen Z like.

00:04:16.447 --> 00:04:18.591
Gen Z, to be fair, is not our demographic.

00:04:20.223 --> 00:04:22.869
Right, I don't think we would have a demographic.

00:04:22.869 --> 00:04:24.351
To be honest with you like.

00:04:24.372 --> 00:04:25.233
We're talking about racism.

00:04:25.233 --> 00:04:30.829
We're talking about old-school hip-hop, we're talking about shit like that he's doing your roles in trying to listen to none of this shit we're not talking about, you know.

00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:34.708
I mean Drake and Whoever the fuck these little rappers they listening to.

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:37.805
Which is funny cuz they're all little something.

00:04:38.365 --> 00:04:39.910
Yeah, and then, number five.

00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:40.511
Check it out.

00:04:40.511 --> 00:04:44.540
Number five on the list New York, new York City.

00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:45.663
So nice, they named it twice.

00:04:45.682 --> 00:04:48.127
I mean we're in the East Coast, we're in Jersey.

00:04:48.127 --> 00:04:58.706
So you figure, jersey, new York, florida, those were the three at least states that I would expect to be on the top, sure, but it'd be weird for somewhere else.

00:04:58.706 --> 00:05:02.487
But it's Cali, arizona, illinois, texas, new York.

00:05:02.487 --> 00:05:03.932
Check out this stat.

00:05:03.932 --> 00:05:15.819
We were listened to in 59 countries, Including Australia, germany, the UK and the Russian Federation, which I guess is what they're calling Russia now.

00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:19.117
Is that what the fuck they're calling Russia, the Russian Federation?

00:05:19.177 --> 00:05:19.699
Look, I don't know.

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:21.524
I don't know if you're talking about this Russian shit.

00:05:21.524 --> 00:05:21.886
I don't.

00:05:21.886 --> 00:05:22.728
Look, we don't.

00:05:22.728 --> 00:05:23.930
We don't do that.

00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:29.865
I look, we appreciate the listen, but Y'all got some other shit going on over there.

00:05:29.865 --> 00:05:31.831
Thank you for the listen.

00:05:31.831 --> 00:05:35.658
Yes, don't wanna and be involved in the fuck shit y'all got going on.

00:05:35.658 --> 00:05:38.286
Nah, but keep listening, though.

00:05:38.286 --> 00:05:39.610
You know what it's a war going on.

00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:40.773
You need some peace and quiet.

00:05:41.221 --> 00:05:44.211
They over there shooting at each other and they got the culture on their headphones.

00:05:44.211 --> 00:05:46.586
The wild part they should each other like you want.

00:05:46.605 --> 00:05:47.307
You want to go to war.

00:05:47.307 --> 00:05:48.011
You want to go to war?

00:05:48.011 --> 00:05:49.644
Nah, I shoot you.

00:05:49.644 --> 00:05:51.411
You shoot me on kind of three, one, two pat.

00:05:51.411 --> 00:05:53.562
We are the war.

00:05:53.562 --> 00:05:54.726
What we're gonna do in a free time?

00:05:54.726 --> 00:05:55.769
Oh, we're gonna listen to the culture.

00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:59.990
Absolutely, plug the fucking good for you, fellas man.

00:05:59.990 --> 00:06:00.694
Stop shooting each other.

00:06:00.694 --> 00:06:01.577
No more war.

00:06:01.577 --> 00:06:03.826
Make love, not War.

00:06:03.826 --> 00:06:04.769
Yeah, how about a piece?

00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:07.745
Yeah, make love, not war.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:09.420
Yo.

00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.968
So, like I said, 26 episodes, a total of one thousand three hundred and two minutes.

00:06:12.968 --> 00:06:18.728
Hmm and I fully intend on Multiplying that for 2024.

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:21.045
That's the plan.

00:06:21.045 --> 00:06:22.189
We'll see what life says.

00:06:23.201 --> 00:06:25.930
All right, but yo, you know, I like lists, right.

00:06:26.781 --> 00:06:26.961
Mm-hmm.

00:06:28.021 --> 00:06:29.608
We do this every year year and review.

00:06:29.608 --> 00:06:33.471
I'm doing my top five verses of the year.

00:06:33.471 --> 00:06:35.677
I'm low-key, really think this shit gets you hard.

00:06:35.677 --> 00:06:37.541
I love lists, I know you do.

00:06:37.541 --> 00:06:38.745
I love top five everything.

00:06:38.745 --> 00:06:39.709
Top fighters, top fight.

00:06:39.709 --> 00:06:40.391
I asked my shit.

00:06:41.101 --> 00:06:41.947
That's my bag right there.

00:06:41.947 --> 00:06:48.502
I think you get up in the morning and be like brushing teeth, like what's a top five, two-paste crest, aim, cool gate, you know.

00:06:48.502 --> 00:06:51.050
You just run it through your head like everything's the list, everything.

00:06:52.603 --> 00:06:54.012
So we doing the top five verses.

00:06:54.012 --> 00:06:55.120
I got my top five.

00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.045
You wanted all parts of it.

00:06:57.725 --> 00:06:58.507
No, I hate rap this year.

00:07:00.052 --> 00:07:00.293
Really.

00:07:00.293 --> 00:07:05.132
Yeah, you think 2023 was a terrible year for rap, for new rap.

00:07:05.151 --> 00:07:09.208
Yes, your, your top tier artists really didn't come out anything.

00:07:09.208 --> 00:07:15.242
Cole had a great guest verse on dirt shit Drinks.

00:07:15.242 --> 00:07:17.348
Album albums plural, let's pluralize it.

00:07:17.348 --> 00:07:19.959
Those were shit so bad.

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.206
He started beefing with everybody about basic equality.

00:07:22.206 --> 00:07:22.728
Was albums?

00:07:22.728 --> 00:07:23.730
Because it's just been dropping.

00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:24.963
They haven't been the same.

00:07:24.963 --> 00:07:28.454
He's still singing the same emotional sing song you whining shit.

00:07:29.062 --> 00:07:31.750
He was in his Eminem bag like oh, you want to talk shit about my album?

00:07:31.750 --> 00:07:34.588
Start getting a Joe button, which is the thing to do now.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:52.367
But in the thing with him is like you're spending more time you're being the awareness of people about you are you getting mad at people about your album than them talking about your album, like, oh so you have your top five list, that you're listed.

00:07:52.367 --> 00:07:54.312
You're going to break down for us?

00:07:54.312 --> 00:08:00.485
In regards to verses, I'm going to assume there's not a drink when they're no, sorry, I wasn't.

00:08:00.485 --> 00:08:09.670
I wasn't expecting it to, but I'm just saying it's kind of a low-key down year in regards to it, because it's it's the homogenization, it's all the same.

00:08:09.670 --> 00:08:16.319
They're all in the same flow and the people you would think would be stepping up by now aren't dirt's, not babies, not the babies not.

00:08:17.526 --> 00:08:20.379
You got some other like youngsters in it, but they're just kind of beginning.

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:25.172
It's not clicking the way you were wanted to do so, so I've been listening to a lot of older shit.

00:08:25.172 --> 00:08:31.380
Yeah, as a matter of fact, we're going to digress in this topic slightly Now.

00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:42.753
I don't know what you're looking like in February monetary for yourself, or in March I don't think might be April but do you plan on going to Vegas to go into the Wu-Tang residency?

00:08:44.403 --> 00:08:49.331
I'm supposed to be going to Vegas, I think April should check when you check when the residency is.

00:08:49.472 --> 00:08:50.274
Well hotel is it at?

00:08:50.274 --> 00:08:54.164
Not the palm, but I think it's.

00:08:54.164 --> 00:09:01.226
I got to look it up, but they are having a residency in Vegas Once in February, I think that's around Super Bowl.

00:09:03.493 --> 00:09:05.659
I wonder how much they want for tickets they haven't put it up yet.

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:09.258
If you come with me, I'll go, but the people are supposed to be going to Vegas with.

00:09:09.258 --> 00:09:12.716
None of them is gonna be interested in going to a Wu Tang concert not not one single one of them.

00:09:14.432 --> 00:09:14.591
Yeah.

00:09:17.191 --> 00:09:20.721
Wife, sister, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, whatever.

00:09:20.721 --> 00:09:24.895
Eric don't seem like the Wu Tang type.

00:09:24.895 --> 00:09:27.361
He ain't sitting there through a Wu Tang album, bro.

00:09:27.361 --> 00:09:28.432
I'll go to a concert.

00:09:28.873 --> 00:09:30.636
He likes it through a Taylor Swift album.

00:09:30.636 --> 00:09:33.462
Oh shit, I don't give a fuck.

00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:37.653
You can tell him I said it, I don't care, I'm gangster, but that's the problem.

00:09:37.653 --> 00:09:41.316
That's why I didn't make a list about it, cuz I'm like Nothing that y'all did move me.

00:09:41.316 --> 00:09:50.232
The weird, okay, the most exciting thing that happened in hip-hop, in regards to hip-hop, is the fact that one of the greatest hip-hop artists ever decided not to make a hip-hop album.

00:09:50.232 --> 00:09:56.224
That shit got more pressing any other Then I know, and what that fluke should.

00:09:56.224 --> 00:09:59.280
Yeah, exactly, you know exact what I was talking about, what I mean.

00:09:59.301 --> 00:10:00.769
Yeah, mike he spoke about it.

00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:05.400
He did you know that he actually had a guest, a verse on somebody's album.

00:10:05.741 --> 00:10:12.077
Yeah on Yep um the killer Mike up, and that that first goes boy.

00:10:12.177 --> 00:10:14.984
Yeah, I considered it for my top five, but it just didn't make it.

00:10:16.573 --> 00:10:23.001
It goes, but that's just kind of that's what he's trying to say, like if you're really want me to do this, I can he's just bored with it.

00:10:23.331 --> 00:10:32.205
I want to try different shit, different flows, different flow patterns, you know, I mean he's just bored with the shit, bro, like I'm just some co-natural to him, that he's just bored with it.

00:10:32.289 --> 00:10:40.941
I feel like like he's just choosing not to do it, like he wants to do an album, what he's going to be inspired to do, so he's not inspired to do a rap album.

00:10:40.941 --> 00:10:53.269
Except I like playing my flute when doing now about that, and Everybody in hip hop is talking about a flute album, because y'all can't make an album good enough to complete with a flute album and the shit was like the highest streamed shit wasn't it that shit is relaxing in the motherfucker boy.

00:10:53.429 --> 00:10:54.855
It was the highest streamed shit.

00:10:54.855 --> 00:10:56.760
Oh yeah, I think you ever listen to it.

00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:59.217
I listened to a couple things I couldn't really do.

00:10:59.217 --> 00:10:59.720
It was it for me.

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:00.634
You know what it is.

00:11:00.775 --> 00:11:01.881
It's like, if you like the flu.

00:11:02.384 --> 00:11:05.235
If it was the saxophone I would have a saxophones, my shit.

00:11:05.235 --> 00:11:06.778
I fuck with some Kenny G shit.

00:11:06.778 --> 00:11:12.225
Speaking of Kenny G, let me, before I get off topic, did you see the Kenny G and Warren G collaboration?

00:11:12.225 --> 00:11:13.330
That shit was hard.

00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:18.128
No, but I look that shit up when you get a chance on YouTube or something.

00:11:18.128 --> 00:11:18.690
It was on stage.

00:11:18.690 --> 00:11:27.330
I don't know what show this was Warren G and Kenny G, they did the regulators and what, and Kenny G's doing the beat on his saxophone.

00:11:27.330 --> 00:11:32.115
You know I'm saying Then that shit was hard.

00:11:32.115 --> 00:11:34.162
I was like, oh shit, they should do a whole album together.

00:11:34.162 --> 00:11:36.154
The G funk.

00:11:38.471 --> 00:11:40.582
He should just do one G's whole album in saxophone.

00:11:40.582 --> 00:11:43.674
Yo, that shit was dope he did regularly.

00:11:43.674 --> 00:11:48.695
Should do all this with this DJ, do that in saxophone, like there you go.

00:11:48.695 --> 00:11:50.714
But you want something different.

00:11:50.714 --> 00:11:51.956
And he provided something different.

00:11:51.956 --> 00:11:59.214
And it wasn't even hip-hop, it was technically hip-hop, because he's a rapper, but Andre's his own, his own thing, right.

00:11:59.214 --> 00:12:06.649
But the fact that the most exciting thing that happened to hip-hop was an album that wasn't about hip-hop says you like the state of it this year it was kind of with you, I agree with you.

00:12:06.929 --> 00:12:12.629
Yeah, hip-hop was shit this year, but there's, there's something for everybody if you really want to look for it.

00:12:12.629 --> 00:12:17.511
You know, I'm saying are the people that we grew up listening to are still making Songs?

00:12:17.511 --> 00:12:19.397
Oh yeah, we can listen to a buster.

00:12:19.397 --> 00:12:20.780
You can listen to a nozz.

00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:22.490
He drops some shit, you can look.

00:12:22.490 --> 00:12:23.575
You know, I mean, they all got some.

00:12:23.575 --> 00:12:25.399
You, there's something for everybody if you really look for it.

00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.653
But let me get into this list.

00:12:27.653 --> 00:12:35.870
Man, no problem, I got you my number five Top verse of the year and this one could easily be higher on the list.

00:12:35.870 --> 00:12:44.539
Goes to one of the goats, even though you argue that he's not in your top Mr Marshall matters.

00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:54.268
Eminem On the song the realest Featuring easy mill or e2 mill, easy mill that new up-and-coming dude right, mm-hmm.

00:12:54.288 --> 00:12:54.508
What is he?

00:12:54.508 --> 00:12:54.950
Canadian or some shit?

00:12:54.950 --> 00:12:55.711
Uk?

00:12:55.711 --> 00:12:57.517
He was some shit, I think, from UK.

00:12:57.517 --> 00:13:00.405
So Eminem has the third verse on the shit and he goes.

00:13:01.529 --> 00:13:03.102
Guess I've really no right to complain.

00:13:03.102 --> 00:13:04.826
Much hip-hop has been good to me, huh.

00:13:04.826 --> 00:13:10.056
But when they say that I'm only top five because I'm white, why would I be stunned, my skin color still working against me?

00:13:10.056 --> 00:13:16.268
Cuz, second, I should be the none, being white, and why they put me at five Is why they can't put me at one.

00:13:16.268 --> 00:13:16.570
That's hard.

00:13:16.570 --> 00:13:17.591
Then he goes.

00:13:17.591 --> 00:13:19.158
They're coming with more venom.

00:13:19.177 --> 00:13:27.423
So the haters I'm aiming it towards the man all the envious rappers I torture if I'm on a joint with them and that is the only resort is I'm not played in the clubs.

00:13:27.423 --> 00:13:28.931
Motherfucking, put a cork in it.

00:13:28.931 --> 00:13:32.504
Only reason they still play your shit in the clubs is cuz you still performing them.

00:13:32.504 --> 00:13:36.057
Oh, I'm a guest in this house, but I turn this bitch to a mansion.

00:13:36.057 --> 00:13:37.841
That's an expansion.

00:13:37.841 --> 00:13:38.363
Made it gargantuan.

00:13:38.363 --> 00:13:42.739
England, germany, france and Japan in this Bitch, even Dubai, because my music they do buy.

00:13:42.739 --> 00:13:51.066
You died trying the scientists to sigh Chiatrists could not unscrew my head up the blue-eyed devil.

00:13:51.066 --> 00:13:51.909
I never quit, do I?

00:13:51.909 --> 00:13:54.017
Nah, cuz you know you'll get washed like a bar of soap.

00:13:54.017 --> 00:14:00.850
You pussy, you wouldn't give a cigar to smoke and I know it eats at your heart like an Artichoke, because you know that's how likely you are the choke.

00:14:00.850 --> 00:14:03.437
Yo, his shit.

00:14:03.437 --> 00:14:07.448
Like if you got Eminem lately the last few years, you gotta listen to his shit multiple times.

00:14:07.448 --> 00:14:07.929
A double and triple.

00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:08.674
Untanjas are crazy, bro.

00:14:08.674 --> 00:14:15.932
I, I, I, I, I, I.

00:14:22.470 --> 00:14:25.437
Appreciate that, the unrequisite love you have for this white boy.

00:14:25.437 --> 00:14:27.101
I do, I really do.

00:14:27.101 --> 00:14:35.962
Why is Eminem complaining about his like his position on Mount Rushmore when he's pretty much richer than maybe one?

00:14:36.003 --> 00:14:38.470
guy up there Because he doesn't do this for the money.

00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:42.710
He's always said from the beginning that he got into the game looking for the respect of his peers.

00:14:42.710 --> 00:14:49.590
And when he constantly keeps hearing that, oh, he's a, he's sold this because he's white, oh, you know, black people don't listen to him.

00:14:49.590 --> 00:14:54.182
Oh, he's a guest in hip-hop, and all these things that they say about it, all the Lord Jamar type of shit, right.

00:14:54.975 --> 00:14:56.004
Like this he eats at him.

00:14:56.025 --> 00:14:56.429
You know what I mean?

00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:57.052
Mm-hmm.

00:14:57.052 --> 00:15:00.642
He feels like he has to constantly answer to the critics type shit.

00:15:01.673 --> 00:15:02.155
But he doesn't.

00:15:02.155 --> 00:15:03.524
But that's the shit I don't understand.

00:15:03.524 --> 00:15:04.470
He doesn't have to at all.

00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:10.826
I agree, like I could see if he didn't have the credentials and you could say whatever you want to say about him.

00:15:10.826 --> 00:15:21.129
And all honestly, like you know, he had this, he had Dre, he had it doesn't matter if you can't rap like that, you can't rap like that, he can rap like that.

00:15:21.129 --> 00:15:25.769
I'm never gonna hold the fucking candela for March Madden because I don't need to speak for him.

00:15:25.769 --> 00:15:27.254
I don't dislike him.

00:15:27.254 --> 00:15:29.462
I don't need to speak for me cuz it speaks for itself.

00:15:29.462 --> 00:15:30.847
That's, that's the point of all.

00:15:30.847 --> 00:15:31.750
Try to get across you.

00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:33.576
I don't dislike Eminem.

00:15:33.576 --> 00:15:35.620
I enjoy him as a rapper.

00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:37.746
He can really really rap.

00:15:37.807 --> 00:15:41.275
He's just not in your top five, right and that is no.

00:15:41.296 --> 00:15:42.018
That's no shit.

00:15:42.018 --> 00:15:45.812
It's a lot of rappers that I am Passionate about.

00:15:45.812 --> 00:15:48.279
It's not like I love Rick Juan.

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.066
He's never gonna be in my top five.

00:15:50.066 --> 00:15:51.269
I love most death.

00:15:51.269 --> 00:15:53.337
He's never gonna be in my top five.

00:15:53.337 --> 00:15:56.678
I Like game never gonna be there.

00:15:56.678 --> 00:16:02.429
But it just happens that people gonna say like no, he's white, like I've kind of got past that white shit.

00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:05.705
I just know that when he won't, it's the three thousand thing.

00:16:05.705 --> 00:16:12.003
When he wants to get busy, he can get busy, like we talked about for the, the joint he had on killer Mike's album.

00:16:12.003 --> 00:16:16.860
When Andre 3000 really wants to fucking get busy, he's gonna get busy.

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:25.860
You're gonna be like whoo, wow, but for him it's all like well, he's white, I'm like Let me finish this verse, cuz this is a song where he also dis is Melly Mel.

00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:30.821
So he goes, which might be the dumbest thing in all here, but go ahead, man.

00:16:31.392 --> 00:16:32.014
He goes.

00:16:32.014 --> 00:16:33.379
Your heart is broke.

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.885
As I rip you apart, I go bananas.

00:16:34.885 --> 00:16:35.830
Proceed to spit every bar.

00:16:35.830 --> 00:16:38.316
I wrote I was spitting before my mother's water broke.

00:16:38.316 --> 00:16:39.359
It's not even close, you bitch.

00:16:39.359 --> 00:16:46.529
I'm far I'm by far the goat, mmm Genziers, acting like rap experts, zip up your gaps and close your mouths, bitch.

00:16:46.529 --> 00:16:49.460
You ain't been on this planet long enough to tell me how rap supposed to sound.

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:52.389
Y'all need to stick to what you do best shooting schools up.

00:16:52.389 --> 00:16:58.563
Yeah, go load up rounds and your parents, gas and go to class and let off with the strap and go to town.

00:16:59.351 --> 00:17:01.509
Shout out to the furious five and Grandmaster Flash.

00:17:01.509 --> 00:17:04.218
But boy, there's someone who really is furious.

00:17:04.218 --> 00:17:05.039
Stay out his past.

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:09.854
His wrath, avoid, and I'll be the last to toy with a juice head Whose brain is like half destroyed.

00:17:09.854 --> 00:17:12.039
Goddamn, like a meteor hit it.

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.005
Well, there went, there went Melly Mel.

00:17:14.005 --> 00:17:15.212
We lost his ass to Roy's.

00:17:15.212 --> 00:17:16.277
That is a bar.

00:17:16.277 --> 00:17:20.079
God was like I got him, but I'm gonna start him at the bottom of the barrel.

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:24.499
Brought him in the world with a ma, with a ma that was on Valium and his father was a coward.

00:17:24.499 --> 00:17:31.300
Taught him as a child, when no fucking body was around, how to get himself up and out of poverty and now not even a growl in his stomach.

00:17:31.300 --> 00:17:33.973
Got to be a hound, so they put your body in the ground.

00:17:33.973 --> 00:17:37.542
Probably gonna sound like a cliche, but when haters try to beat you down, say fuck him.

00:17:37.542 --> 00:17:40.317
Okay, let him know, marshall.

00:17:40.317 --> 00:17:43.875
So that was number five on my list.

00:17:43.875 --> 00:17:45.740
That's a stupidest beef in history.

00:17:46.122 --> 00:17:51.593
Like that's like beef with your grandfather, like I Like, like.

00:17:51.593 --> 00:17:53.396
Okay, you know how, like.

00:17:53.396 --> 00:18:04.262
As people get older, we tend to let their casual racism slide, like my grandmother's 82 years old, my grandmother, still to this day, calls white people crackers.

00:18:06.711 --> 00:18:09.490
It's not that she's no, that's low key reverse racism, right.

00:18:09.490 --> 00:18:17.238
It's not that she means it is more in a sense because she grew up in itself and kind of how things went down for it, just how she is now, before it's until it.

00:18:17.238 --> 00:18:22.136
Like you can't say that they're not thought about, like you know what You're at a particular age in life, I can't really tell you.

00:18:22.136 --> 00:18:33.401
Not to say it, you're going to, no matter what I tell you, because kind of age has given you that kind of thing, melly is like it's like you don't need like let Melly say whatever Melly's gonna say.

00:18:33.441 --> 00:18:34.462
Like you don't need to respond.

00:18:34.462 --> 00:18:38.598
Everything I just gave praise and imminent about like that's the one thing that still bogs me about.

00:18:38.598 --> 00:18:40.423
I'm like forgot what is much?

00:18:40.423 --> 00:18:53.780
Financial success, artistic success, all our alms, means upon means, the alms he sold, all the tours and everything else that he tends to have a Sensitive skin for no good reason and I don't know why.

00:18:53.780 --> 00:19:01.275
Like like Dre, dre has made some shit, beats Some, some shit was not working, even a doctor drip, but it doesn't just dismiss his legacy.

00:19:01.275 --> 00:19:12.060
Like he never has to talk down to anybody because I am who I am when M is like he can't get that thing Listen, cuz he listens to all the comments, he reads all the shit and turn the fuck away.

00:19:12.101 --> 00:19:18.201
Could you, could you know why Melly Mel still has to go out on tour to make money to feed his burgeoning steroid habit?

00:19:18.201 --> 00:19:21.700
I have never seen an old man that big and that wrong right.

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:25.057
He looks like a bodybuilder and what he's like in his 60s.

00:19:25.157 --> 00:19:26.801
I told you I saw him at the hip hop 50 show.

00:19:26.801 --> 00:19:31.221
You come up on stage, he's, he's massive for a guy that age crazy.

00:19:31.711 --> 00:19:36.738
No, he's still alive, broke, look, I don't know what kind of program you on, but that shit is working for him.

00:19:36.738 --> 00:19:43.863
But my whole thing is like he's still got to do this to kind of make a living, the songs of folk and that's being a pioneer hip hop, great.

00:19:43.863 --> 00:19:47.240
But you don't, marshall, you don't have to do this like you don't have to respond back.

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.182
That's the whole thing.

00:19:48.182 --> 00:19:52.953
If you want to be on Mount Rushmore, the thing about that is that you're amongst the gods.

00:19:52.953 --> 00:19:54.298
God's don't speak to the peasants.

00:19:54.298 --> 00:19:55.323
They don't speak to the people.

00:19:55.323 --> 00:19:56.406
They praise it.

00:19:56.406 --> 00:19:58.053
Praise goes up, it doesn't go down.

00:19:58.053 --> 00:20:00.471
You don't got to talk down to Melly Mel, just let it go.

00:20:00.471 --> 00:20:02.316
Like that's the way you feel man, no problem.

00:20:02.316 --> 00:20:04.823
Like they're gonna say something put my records up against his.

00:20:04.823 --> 00:20:07.034
If you want to do a battle, we can go ahead and do that.

00:20:07.054 --> 00:20:07.474
He can do.

00:20:07.474 --> 00:20:08.136
Put.

00:20:08.136 --> 00:20:11.892
Don't think Eminem gonna lose to him is like a bench press contest, that's it.

00:20:11.892 --> 00:20:16.181
He can outbarm, he can out wrap and he can do everything he wants to do in hip hop.

00:20:16.181 --> 00:20:19.519
He just can't out lift this old, strong motherfucker outside of that.

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.819
But I know he had to see how to dig that one in there.

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:22.644
I appreciated it, though.

00:20:22.884 --> 00:20:23.750
Number four on my list.

00:20:23.750 --> 00:20:28.083
I mentioned this gentleman earlier, j Cole Mm-hmm, but it wasn't the song you mentioned.

00:20:28.083 --> 00:20:32.883
Okay, it wasn't all my life, nope, it was the secret recipe on the little yachty shit.

00:20:32.883 --> 00:20:37.557
And I was like, wait a minute, why the fuck is J Cole making music with little Yachty?

00:20:37.557 --> 00:20:39.301
It just didn't make sense to me.

00:20:39.301 --> 00:20:42.718
It makes perfect, but it but it ain't mad, because he still killed the shit.

00:20:42.718 --> 00:20:48.473
And is this safe to say that Kendrick and J Cole are this era's Nas and Jay-Z?

00:20:48.473 --> 00:20:54.910
No, like the two guys that people go to for lyrics, you know, I mean and storytelling they go through them for that.

00:20:55.090 --> 00:20:57.584
But even with Nas and J, they were kind of two different things.

00:20:57.584 --> 00:21:20.422
Yeah, nas, you always it was like if you weren't a backpack rapper, he was like your kind of mainstream rapper, right where J was, you know, you know money, cash, hoes, I guess you can say Kind of had a thing and still would put in the lyricism and still put in like the vivid imagery of like Lifetelling and storytelling which came later, like like past blueprint and so on, so forth.

00:21:20.422 --> 00:21:24.771
But with them they're like they're two sides of the same coin, like they're the.

00:21:24.771 --> 00:21:25.394
They're.

00:21:25.394 --> 00:21:30.200
They're kind of designed in a way where you don't want to pick one or the other.

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.880
You actually want to have both, like most people, either a Nas guy or your J guy.

00:21:35.711 --> 00:21:36.593
But but I don't.

00:21:36.593 --> 00:21:39.922
I know people that like I like Kendrick and I like code, but I don't see public.

00:21:39.922 --> 00:21:41.655
I like Kendrick, fuck Cole.

00:21:41.655 --> 00:21:42.799
I love Cole for Kendrick.

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:47.069
It's like they're both in the same pocket that do similar things.

00:21:47.069 --> 00:21:50.838
But they're the way they kind of go about rapping is completely different.

00:21:50.838 --> 00:21:59.922
So when they do it, Even the subject matter is the same, the way that their flow works, the way that because Kendrick always has that quick.

00:21:59.922 --> 00:22:05.096
That tap, tap, tap, tap shit and Cole is just always seemed like he's just talking.

00:22:05.096 --> 00:22:10.942
It never seemed like he's rapping, like he just like this is very, very, very smooth and melodic.

00:22:10.942 --> 00:22:15.922
So I can't say like they're the Nas and J of this generation.

00:22:15.922 --> 00:22:28.909
I I can say that, yes, because of the two most popular, when a sense of style and a sense of Rapability, two sides of the same coin, it is greater what they do, everyone else finishing third, but yeah, get down the secret recipe.

00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:29.329
Mm-hmm.

00:22:29.329 --> 00:22:34.143
J Cole has the second verse and he goes Cole and Yachty, coming for the respect, come and pay your debt.

00:22:34.143 --> 00:22:38.009
Just like a travel pillow, we act your neck for the way you slept this nuance.

00:22:38.009 --> 00:22:42.138
But I see hella influence in the way you dress, the way you sound, the way you try to move.

00:22:42.138 --> 00:22:46.214
You try to stay abreast on all the Latest flows and latest tones from Generation X.

00:22:46.214 --> 00:22:48.921
Your chasing relevance is evidenced by the way you step.

00:22:48.921 --> 00:22:51.154
As for me, I cook so masterfully.

00:22:51.154 --> 00:22:52.520
Ain't got to pay a chef.

00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:54.890
I'm older now but still come cut and edge.

00:22:54.890 --> 00:22:57.757
I'm like a bayonet from out the bill.

00:22:57.757 --> 00:22:58.919
We all should certify.

00:22:58.919 --> 00:22:59.961
You got to wear your vest.

00:22:59.961 --> 00:23:03.170
Too many Homicides, a lot of slide and they good at making decks.

00:23:03.170 --> 00:23:05.498
Thanks to God I made it out the city.

00:23:05.498 --> 00:23:06.721
Most will say I'm blessed.

00:23:06.721 --> 00:23:09.912
My greatest flex is that I made a milli feel like I'm Blangladesh.

00:23:10.755 --> 00:23:15.146
I hate the press refusing interviews whenever they request n words, fake, progressive and woke.

00:23:15.146 --> 00:23:16.009
I started saying less.

00:23:16.009 --> 00:23:17.355
I had to stop it.

00:23:17.355 --> 00:23:19.183
Peeped how they profit off of racial stress.

00:23:19.183 --> 00:23:22.536
Some activists got so rich they probably wish we stayed oppressed.

00:23:23.017 --> 00:23:27.190
Studio steppers moving extra on songs, faking rep only breaking bad in the lab.

00:23:27.190 --> 00:23:31.930
Thought I was making meth n words, making threats, and I and I laugh, that's cuz you ain't a threat.

00:23:31.930 --> 00:23:33.875
Don't ask how I feel about no rappers.

00:23:33.875 --> 00:23:34.637
Shit they okay.

00:23:34.637 --> 00:23:38.117
I put, I guess, incoming call, press the button, the one they say.

00:23:38.117 --> 00:23:41.930
Except he faced time to ask for a feature and saw the face of death.

00:23:41.930 --> 00:23:48.165
I'm on your song, your streams going up, not quite the Drake effect, but don't complain, bitch, take what you get and cut the label.

00:23:48.165 --> 00:23:51.493
Check my stable, set a Dine on your favorite.

00:23:51.493 --> 00:23:52.977
One verse will take his breath.

00:23:52.977 --> 00:23:54.861
I probably put more n words on pause.

00:23:54.861 --> 00:23:58.388
And cam and Mason beth, I, my agent, got a whole lot of calls.

00:23:58.388 --> 00:23:59.530
It's like he paid the ref.

00:23:59.530 --> 00:24:03.766
These bitches out here looking like Steph on the late contest, wide open Shooting.

00:24:03.766 --> 00:24:04.186
They shot.

00:24:04.186 --> 00:24:05.250
Don't even waste your breath.

00:24:05.250 --> 00:24:08.176
I've been stop fucking you thoughts and got no patience left.

00:24:08.176 --> 00:24:09.588
Save that shit for one of them.

00:24:09.588 --> 00:24:15.815
N-words that rock the fake protects my paper stress, just like a Laker, before he break a sweat, signed the greatest yet.

00:24:15.815 --> 00:24:20.296
Oh, let him know, cole, I fuck with Cole man, oh you do.

00:24:21.828 --> 00:24:23.354
You do what you mean.

00:24:23.354 --> 00:24:26.301
I'm not saying that shit to be funny, I just know that you do.

00:24:26.301 --> 00:24:27.325
Cold is great at what he does.

00:24:27.325 --> 00:24:28.971
I don't know why people argue with this shit.

00:24:28.971 --> 00:24:35.556
Like he, he's look best right now, it's okay, it's the reason, okay.

00:24:35.576 --> 00:24:49.608
So I would say, if you're making that comparison, career-wise Cole is J M no, no, uh, kendrick is not.

00:24:49.608 --> 00:24:58.019
It's the whole like fear of what I mean is that like, like I appreciate the younger generation putting him on their albums.

00:24:58.019 --> 00:25:03.789
The only problem is that when you put J Cole on your album he's going to kill you, like J used to.

00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:08.950
Like you want, like everybody, like I wanted J verse and when you got it, it outshone your shit.

00:25:08.950 --> 00:25:12.333
He did that on this, he did that on dirt shit.

00:25:12.333 --> 00:25:14.464
Oh no, it's just, it's one of those things.

00:25:14.464 --> 00:25:17.252
Only in that position it's reversed.

00:25:17.353 --> 00:25:23.067
When it comes to career, kendrick's J and Cole is nice.

00:25:23.067 --> 00:25:35.528
Because I believe that the way that Cole is, he's a lifer, like he's going to do what Nas did now with the King's disease and the magic and like the later on shit in life, because I think he just Generally loves this.

00:25:35.528 --> 00:25:47.659
Like his business interests are all around dreamville, he doesn't have much of an expensive thing outside of that where you know, basically Kendrick's leaving the label, he's trying to start his own things, trying to get into these like artistic creative projects.

00:25:47.659 --> 00:25:49.009
He's expanding.

00:25:49.009 --> 00:25:52.076
He's more interested in the artistic business side of it.

00:25:52.076 --> 00:26:03.335
Cole seems to be more interested in like the purity of it, the rap part, the Like I said cuz he don't have to do this, but he does Because he's always like trying to look out and reach out for the younger generation.

00:26:03.335 --> 00:26:06.464
He wants them to succeed, he wants them to supersede him actually.

00:26:06.464 --> 00:26:11.378
But the fact that he can still do this at this level is not much more than you can say about it.

00:26:12.487 --> 00:26:16.057
All right, Hmm, next up on my list.

00:26:16.057 --> 00:26:26.325
And this guy is always always doing his thing right and I never used to fuck with his dude before because I can't stand his voice and I've talked about it.

00:26:26.325 --> 00:26:28.574
But when you listen to his fucking lyrics, he's.

00:26:28.574 --> 00:26:31.717
You know I'm talking about.

00:26:31.717 --> 00:26:34.679
I.

00:26:36.066 --> 00:26:38.653
Know it's such a weird thing to say about something else like I don't.

00:26:38.712 --> 00:26:43.271
I can't stand this voice like okay, I'm talking about Lil Wayne Mm-hmm.

00:26:43.271 --> 00:26:56.856
You know, nas dropped his magic album, so his last project with a hip boy and he got Wayne on it on the song called never die, one of my favorite songs on the album Okay, and this is my favorite verse on the whole album.

00:26:56.856 --> 00:26:58.607
So it's Lil Wayne.

00:26:58.607 --> 00:27:00.952
He has the second verse never die.

00:27:00.952 --> 00:27:09.517
He goes icon, stepping on python, spitting that cayenne Eat you like a lion, peeking at the skyline, reaching for the stars like I'm reaching for the pylon.

00:27:09.517 --> 00:27:10.970
I seen you on the sideline.

00:27:11.009 --> 00:27:12.193
We need to walk a fine line.

00:27:12.193 --> 00:27:17.291
We need to read the guidelines instead of reading the timelines where everybody Like line, nobody flow like mine.

00:27:17.291 --> 00:27:21.105
I'm sending these and words gotta be coaching and words like prime tongue.

00:27:21.105 --> 00:27:22.095
I never bite mine.

00:27:22.095 --> 00:27:26.513
Got dough like taekwondo, taekwon, that that that line right there got me for some reason.

00:27:26.513 --> 00:27:31.632
Got dough like taekwon To spend all this money I'm gonna have to spend a lifetime.

00:27:31.811 --> 00:27:32.192
You broke.

00:27:32.192 --> 00:27:33.056
Can't even buy time.

00:27:33.056 --> 00:27:35.111
Show Should throw inwards a lifeline.

00:27:35.111 --> 00:27:36.690
You know, money on my mind.

00:27:36.690 --> 00:27:37.953
I'll be on your wife, mine.

00:27:37.953 --> 00:27:40.660
I hit her with the pipe bomb, then pass her down the pipeline.

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:44.094
But actually we quite fine diamonds on me, sparkling and splashing like some white wine.

00:27:44.094 --> 00:27:46.642
They love me in the nighttime, they hate me when the light shines.

00:27:46.642 --> 00:27:48.971
Shots I got a hundred, and problems I got nine.

00:27:48.971 --> 00:27:52.010
Nine Bugatti Viron take off with no flight time.

00:27:52.010 --> 00:27:57.713
Bad bitch on the passenger side, she don't even like flying Booty, soft as nylon, you and we're small as micron.

00:27:57.713 --> 00:28:00.061
I got a black Nina that get nasty as a white blonde.

00:28:00.061 --> 00:28:02.409
Low credit, high crime, open mind, tight rhymes.

00:28:02.409 --> 00:28:04.996
When they hit my lines these rappers got a catch up.

00:28:04.996 --> 00:28:09.855
Like Heinz, that's a bar Weezy and my slime Nas ain't nobody like ours.

00:28:09.855 --> 00:28:12.101
Like by guns got out like icons.

00:28:12.101 --> 00:28:13.525
Be icons, hi mom.

00:28:13.525 --> 00:28:16.171
Hmm, I thought that was hard.

00:28:16.191 --> 00:28:18.455
Ain't no thought, ain't no thought.

00:28:18.455 --> 00:28:19.377
It's Wayne.

00:28:19.377 --> 00:28:24.875
It's hard, bro, I know, but everyone else talking about rush more shit.

00:28:24.875 --> 00:28:26.550
I'm like y'all might have to leave a space for Wayne.

00:28:26.550 --> 00:28:30.250
You might not like it, but might have to like what's it?

00:28:30.250 --> 00:28:30.551
What's this?

00:28:30.551 --> 00:28:31.173
What's this?

00:28:31.173 --> 00:28:33.478
20 years plus it's already been 20 years.

00:28:33.478 --> 00:28:37.192
Think so, might be more than that.

00:28:37.192 --> 00:28:40.045
Give me one moment, let's take a Google search.

00:28:40.045 --> 00:28:43.232
Uh-huh, what date is this?

00:28:43.232 --> 00:28:46.240
The block aside came out in 1999?

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:46.240
.

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.308
That was his first joint.

00:28:48.308 --> 00:28:49.692
Yeah, the block aside.

00:28:49.692 --> 00:28:52.548
The block is that 1999 so now?

00:28:52.568 --> 00:28:54.896
but that was in his debut, wasn't his debut of the wobbly?

00:28:54.916 --> 00:28:55.458
wobbly shit.

00:28:55.458 --> 00:28:57.309
It wasn't that, but I mean as a single.

00:28:57.309 --> 00:28:58.855
His first was the block is hot.

00:28:58.855 --> 00:29:02.172
So that's 1999, that's going on 25.

00:29:02.172 --> 00:29:04.357
I was like a soft, more high school be that.

00:29:04.357 --> 00:29:06.443
So that's October 23rd 1999.

00:29:06.443 --> 00:29:10.215
So, next year it'll be officially 25 years God damn.

00:29:11.486 --> 00:29:13.209
So it was a spin like this in the 90s.

00:29:13.490 --> 00:29:25.314
I understand that, I understand that, but again, even doing it again Next year would be 25 years, 25 years away, not 10 years, not 825.

00:29:26.246 --> 00:29:26.807
All right, check it out.

00:29:26.807 --> 00:29:32.759
The next one I can't even recite the lyrics Because I don't know, maybe there's just too funky, fresh and the.

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.025
I can't even find the lyrics.

00:29:34.025 --> 00:29:36.772
They're not on title, they're not.

00:29:36.772 --> 00:29:40.884
I can't Google them, mm-hmm, I can't find the lyrics to this fucking verse.

00:29:40.884 --> 00:29:43.114
Okay, so y'all gonna have to go look it up.

00:29:43.114 --> 00:29:50.836
It's Benny the butcher On the OT, the rail and a rap music joint, a rap music drop the album this year.

00:29:50.916 --> 00:29:55.295
Right, by the way, is a rap music one of the dopest producers, bro, cuz he never misses on beats.

00:29:55.295 --> 00:29:56.417
His beats are hard.

00:29:56.417 --> 00:29:57.828
He's one of them.

00:29:57.828 --> 00:30:03.857
You know, I'm saying this certain, this, certain guys like fab that get on a rap music beats and just do magic with them.

00:30:03.857 --> 00:30:04.890
She's, anyway.

00:30:04.890 --> 00:30:09.513
The name of the song is the crown and Benny has an ill-ass verse on that.

00:30:09.513 --> 00:30:10.438
You're gonna have to look that up.

00:30:10.438 --> 00:30:11.865
I'll go listen to that shit.

00:30:11.865 --> 00:30:15.711
But that takes me into my number one verse.

00:30:15.711 --> 00:30:22.256
And this guy has been and I'm biased, I don't give a fuck, I'm biased this guy has been number one on my list.

00:30:22.256 --> 00:30:25.188
Every year that he drops a fire verse he's usually number one.

00:30:25.188 --> 00:30:27.954
So for the last couple years he's been number one on my list, right.

00:30:28.236 --> 00:30:29.847
Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:30:29.847 --> 00:30:31.393
Do you remember the name of the song?

00:30:33.046 --> 00:30:33.907
The crown.

00:30:33.907 --> 00:30:36.753
It's on the OT the rail and a rap music, shit.

00:30:36.753 --> 00:30:38.597
But it's just him.

00:30:38.597 --> 00:30:43.714
No, it's Benny the butcher, ot the rail, and it's the beat is by a rap music.

00:30:43.714 --> 00:30:46.058
Hmm, can't find it.

00:30:50.445 --> 00:30:51.750
Okay, I know to find it.

00:30:52.011 --> 00:30:56.348
I know I will.

00:30:56.348 --> 00:30:56.971
My number one.

00:30:56.971 --> 00:30:57.573
You ready for this?

00:30:57.573 --> 00:31:03.361
Sure, this guy's been killing the fucking features game lately, the last few years.

00:31:03.361 --> 00:31:05.507
Every time he comes on a feature he murders the shit.

00:31:05.507 --> 00:31:08.394
This is the one guy that I've told you that it gets better with age.

00:31:08.394 --> 00:31:12.167
Right, that are all the old heads he's still spitting.

00:31:12.167 --> 00:31:15.936
He's spitting better now than he was in the 90s and in the 2000s to me, in my opinion.

00:31:15.936 --> 00:31:22.038
Okay, you don't really know who I'm talking about go ahead man, the MET HOD man.

00:31:22.906 --> 00:31:24.512
So Lloyd Banks dropped an album this year.

00:31:24.512 --> 00:31:26.469
Right, it was okay.

00:31:26.489 --> 00:31:32.329
I don't think you like who like yeah, it wasn't the best, you got a whole Generation of who are they like?

00:31:32.329 --> 00:31:33.152
Who's Lord Banks?

00:31:33.152 --> 00:31:34.696
They have no idea zero.

00:31:35.506 --> 00:31:42.709
But he has an album he dropped this year and he has a song called 101 razors, because they just slicing you up right.

00:31:42.709 --> 00:31:44.452
101 razors featuring met the man.

00:31:44.452 --> 00:31:50.211
Met the man has the last verse on it and he goes Legend before retirement.

00:31:50.211 --> 00:31:52.912
You Just a bust of before the rhyme.

00:31:52.912 --> 00:31:57.648
You pre-Madonna's like a virgin Madonna, but borderline bunch of boring lines, no one falling for.

00:31:57.648 --> 00:31:59.434
So fall in line the punchline.

00:31:59.474 --> 00:32:00.699
I'm like a freestyle slimes.

00:32:00.699 --> 00:32:02.565
They offer mine, get it off of mine.

00:32:02.565 --> 00:32:04.369
Some of us get it, but offer crime.

00:32:04.369 --> 00:32:05.452
The office off the table.

00:32:05.452 --> 00:32:07.317
Public defender gone off of time.

00:32:07.317 --> 00:32:10.717
When they thought it was, when they thought it was subbing, I thought sublime.

00:32:10.978 --> 00:32:13.968
Now I see since 2020, I clearly thought I was blind.

00:32:13.968 --> 00:32:15.191
Yo, the streets is watching them.

00:32:15.191 --> 00:32:17.758
They want them with biggie and pockin them, resort to poppin them.

00:32:17.758 --> 00:32:19.573
But how is that solving the problem?

00:32:19.573 --> 00:32:20.557
I got a lot of them.

00:32:20.557 --> 00:32:21.521
I also got dreams.

00:32:21.521 --> 00:32:22.144
I follow them.

00:32:22.665 --> 00:32:25.313
I'm not concerned with rappers who can't spit, so swallow them.

00:32:25.313 --> 00:32:27.458
There's ain't for little saints, so pardon.

00:32:27.458 --> 00:32:27.664
Then.

00:32:27.664 --> 00:32:29.530
You see them Polly, you see them pearly gates.

00:32:29.530 --> 00:32:31.215
That's where them Saints go marching in.

00:32:31.215 --> 00:32:32.366
So y'all.

00:32:32.366 --> 00:32:33.569
So shall we start again?

00:32:33.569 --> 00:32:34.451
Met that in banks.

00:32:34.451 --> 00:32:41.714
This market in cuz ain't no bargain in with the demographic we target, in that this is just, bar after bar, the flow is still uncanny.

00:32:41.714 --> 00:32:46.424
I think he still has a top, maybe five, maybe top three flow of all time.

00:32:46.424 --> 00:32:50.275
You know I mean the word patterns, like is just.

00:32:50.275 --> 00:32:51.557
It's just, to me is uncanny.

00:32:51.557 --> 00:32:54.191
It could easily be lower on the list.

00:32:54.191 --> 00:32:54.913
You know what I'm saying.

00:32:54.913 --> 00:32:59.776
Like I have Eminem up here, I can have the Wayne versus number one, I can have the J Cole versus number one.

00:32:59.776 --> 00:33:01.265
All these verses could be number one.

00:33:01.265 --> 00:33:07.198
But when you actually listen to it and you put it to like the flow, you know I mean the word scheme and everything.

00:33:07.198 --> 00:33:09.365
Yes, I give this verse an edge.

00:33:09.365 --> 00:33:11.653
So this is my top verse of the year for me.

00:33:12.205 --> 00:33:21.875
You do understand what listen to it and tell me, if you agree to disagree, one these years, you gonna have something without Nars or Eminem or metham in on the right.

00:33:21.875 --> 00:33:24.369
What is your not this year?

00:33:24.369 --> 00:33:26.253
One these years now it's gonna happen.

00:33:26.253 --> 00:33:30.374
It ain't been happening lately, it ain't even happening, but they've been spending though.

00:33:30.374 --> 00:33:32.048
Am I wrong?

00:33:32.048 --> 00:33:36.621
No, but that's the problem with this generation, the fact that you can't name nobody new right.

00:33:36.621 --> 00:33:49.974
Like there's no one there, like we had this pressure before, we were putting, um, oh, korea was on there, mm-hmm, but I, he's gonna get back to doing it, but he just had a baby.

00:33:49.974 --> 00:33:50.958
Congratulations him.

00:33:51.926 --> 00:33:52.549
Him in the tennis.

00:33:52.569 --> 00:33:58.894
Check him, and I'm Osaka, so yeah, so congratulations to that, but he'll get back to it, but that's the whole thing like it.

00:33:58.894 --> 00:34:05.300
There's no one in this generation that impresses Me, and I'm not saying because we're the old heads.

00:34:05.422 --> 00:34:06.005
We're the old heads.

00:34:06.005 --> 00:34:10.945
Now, if you talk to a Gen Z or they're gonna give you, they're gonna run you down a whole bunch of dudes that they fuck with.

00:34:10.945 --> 00:34:14.644
The Little, this little, that is person, that person, and it's gonna be nobody that we fuck with.

00:34:14.644 --> 00:34:17.297
And I'm starting to understand, I'm just starting to accept it.

00:34:17.297 --> 00:34:19.164
You know, I mean, I don't have to like it.

00:34:19.164 --> 00:34:21.335
I'm starting to accept that we're just gonna like different shit.

00:34:21.818 --> 00:34:23.284
It's not even accepting it.

00:34:23.284 --> 00:34:29.068
Like I understand that y'all the generation likes Cloutin hooks right yeah like the vibe.

00:34:29.309 --> 00:34:30.293
Yeah, don't care about lyrics.

00:34:30.293 --> 00:34:35.695
They don't care about the story telling, they don't care about word play and punch lines and similes and metaphors.

00:34:35.695 --> 00:34:36.538
They're not looking for that.

00:34:36.865 --> 00:34:39.871
I'm looking for that, though right, they're cheap out like I'm.

00:34:39.871 --> 00:34:44.389
I'm chasing like content, context and substance.

00:34:44.389 --> 00:34:47.135
Mm-hmm, y'all are chasing vibes and feelings.

00:34:47.135 --> 00:34:51.896
I get it and there's there's no shame in that and I'm not complaining about it.

00:34:51.896 --> 00:35:23.672
But you got understand that if I ask you about this, if I play five of these songs in a row and I can't distinguish one person from the other, if I put a problem, if I put on J Cole, nas and 3000 big Rayquan, fabulous Jada, now, exactly who all are more, I can tell by their voice and by their cadence Exactly who this is not a single one is gonna sound the same but over here, here, all y'all, but there, by the bad time I'm a little bit.

00:35:23.692 --> 00:35:24.735
They did it.

00:35:24.735 --> 00:35:28.264
It's a dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad.

00:35:28.264 --> 00:35:29.086
That's it.

00:35:29.086 --> 00:35:29.608
What this?

00:35:29.608 --> 00:35:32.056
This watch of the wooden soldiers, shit, some bullshit.

00:35:32.056 --> 00:35:33.041
Y'all keep it.

00:35:33.041 --> 00:35:34.204
Y'all got the same flow.

00:35:34.204 --> 00:35:35.320
You all get the same cadence.

00:35:35.364 --> 00:35:39.373
The beautiful hip hop and his growth, it's that you can get something different from everybody, from different parts.

00:35:39.373 --> 00:35:42.025
The fact that the top ones are all sounding the same.

00:35:42.025 --> 00:35:43.507
I can't differentiate y'all.

00:35:43.507 --> 00:35:45.030
I can't tell.

00:35:45.030 --> 00:35:46.813
I would love to, I can't.

00:35:46.813 --> 00:35:50.927
I really, really, really want to do a difference, but I can't.

00:35:51.688 --> 00:36:05.289
So when you do shit like this and you kind of keep these things alive, mentioning these people that still matter in a course of hip-hop, the things that they do, the way that they rhyme, that you can tell that if you took your list and put all five of those together, none of them sound the same.

00:36:05.289 --> 00:36:08.019
You can find a clear distinction between each of them, like.

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:09.144
This is his way.

00:36:09.144 --> 00:36:10.309
This is there with this.

00:36:10.309 --> 00:36:11.686
Is that, lily?

00:36:11.726 --> 00:36:17.967
You can tell it by you, like trying to read it, like when you read it, when you read Eminem, you're reading it in his cadence.

00:36:17.967 --> 00:36:20.563
Right, you were reading it in the words You're reading like.

00:36:20.563 --> 00:36:22.815
Could you hear his cadence in your head?

00:36:22.815 --> 00:36:24.710
The same thing with everybody else.

00:36:24.710 --> 00:36:32.034
I can read this word for word by just reading across the screen, said Jack in the hat who had a cat in the back of the lack with the Mac.

00:36:32.034 --> 00:36:34.909
But you can't do that because you've heard it for so long.

00:36:34.909 --> 00:36:36.293
You know how they sound.

00:36:36.293 --> 00:36:38.778
So when you read it you can't help but to do it in the head.

00:36:38.778 --> 00:36:42.105
All these new ones, same kid and same flow, no difference.

00:36:42.425 --> 00:36:44.391
But that's why I gravitate to her like a corda.

00:36:44.391 --> 00:36:45.615
When I sell people, I like corda.

00:36:45.615 --> 00:36:47.170
They like what the fuck he's whack?

00:36:47.170 --> 00:36:48.333
No, not to me.

00:36:48.333 --> 00:36:52.456
He's not because he's, you know, he's in his 20s, but he reminds me of the people that I fuck with, you know.

00:36:52.456 --> 00:36:54.853
I mean, he reminds me of the people I grew up with.

00:36:54.853 --> 00:36:55.614
He's an old soul.

00:36:56.405 --> 00:37:13.985
He's still about lyrics, his story telling, you know I mean I think you're like people who are passionate about rapping, right, that that understand the art form of it, like it's not easy to do this shit, but we're going to do it and I'm gonna show how good I can be at it, or anything else.

00:37:13.985 --> 00:37:23.152
That's the tricky part when all y'all sound the same, I can't tell who's good, like okay, that sounded good, but then the next one, that sounded good, but next got that sounded good.

00:37:23.152 --> 00:37:26.900
But how do I like how to know which you three stand out?

00:37:26.900 --> 00:37:27.827
How do I know who's who?

00:37:27.827 --> 00:37:28.889
And I can't?

00:37:29.371 --> 00:37:40.193
And it's not a dismissal of hip-hop, is it's kind of a misunderstanding between two generations, because there's nothing in that gaps and Feels the bridge between one to the other cool.

00:37:40.193 --> 00:37:49.014
It's kind of that guy, yeah, but, but he wraps more like a 90s rapper than a 2020 rapper, right, but I can't think of a 2020 rapper.

00:37:49.014 --> 00:37:53.572
That really is kind of rapping like a 90s rapper, like there's no kind of that thing over the middle.

00:37:53.572 --> 00:38:04.244
I mean, the only bridge between those generations that's why he's one of the ghosts is really Wayne, because the the progression through hip-hop you can basically trace from his career forward, like that makes songs with everybody.

00:38:04.344 --> 00:38:05.048
He'll make a song.

00:38:05.048 --> 00:38:08.244
He can make a song with a nozz, and then he can make a song with one of the new guys from today.

00:38:08.244 --> 00:38:09.990
You know I mean that he's the bridge.

00:38:10.592 --> 00:38:11.375
Yeah, that's the one.

00:38:11.375 --> 00:38:16.336
But then the whole thing is like the guys from the old school, the older generation, respect him.

00:38:16.336 --> 00:38:19.148
But the thing with the guys, the new guys, they can't rap like that.

00:38:19.168 --> 00:38:26.135
Going back to Wayne, not only is he the bridge between the old and the new, he's also the bridge between, like, the southern and the east coast and the wet.

00:38:26.135 --> 00:38:26.889
You know, I'm saying cuz.

00:38:26.889 --> 00:38:31.291
Like he's real southern, real south, and you can hear it in his voice, you can hear it in his accent.

00:38:31.291 --> 00:38:33.385
But he makes songs with everybody, you know.

00:38:33.385 --> 00:38:40.233
I mean he could jump on a song with the best from the east, the best from the west, the best from the south, and Still stand his ground and shit and that's what went and that's the whole thing.

00:38:40.253 --> 00:38:43.994
Because with the new generation, like he'll jump on it, but y'all can't rap like that.

00:38:43.994 --> 00:38:45.668
That's the whole problem.

00:38:45.668 --> 00:38:48.856
If you could you would, but y'all just can't rap like that.

00:38:48.856 --> 00:38:50.329
He can still again.

00:38:50.329 --> 00:38:51.771
Like I said, we just kind of made that note.

00:38:51.771 --> 00:38:56.172
Next year will be 25 years of him rapping, not eight, not 15.

00:38:56.172 --> 00:38:57.255
25 years.

00:38:57.255 --> 00:38:59.144
That that is someone in a masters program.

00:38:59.144 --> 00:39:02.452
25 years of rap and still going, still going.

00:39:02.452 --> 00:39:04.097
They can still give it up like this.

00:39:05.126 --> 00:39:10.458
Yeah but let's wrap this up, let's, let's, let's talk about, let's dissect the top moments of the year.

00:39:10.458 --> 00:39:12.952
Once again shout out to the coach, a crew man.

00:39:12.952 --> 00:39:23.054
We do have a reaction video up in the patreon, so if you haven't checked that out, cuz sometimes they don't begin the notifications or the alerts- You're trying to get up on the tube to back like a bitch.

00:39:23.527 --> 00:39:25.115
Yeah, you do a reaction video.

00:39:25.115 --> 00:39:29.396
You know that shit has to go through all types of Of approvals before we could get up on YouTube.

00:39:29.396 --> 00:39:31.144
But in the meantime, I know, but on the patreon.

00:39:31.465 --> 00:39:34.355
But I don't understand, because it should be crazy, because you've seen other people pop up.

00:39:34.355 --> 00:39:42.932
You be seen like you go on YouTube like something will happen yesterday and they're got a reaction up like hold up bro, like wait, wait, wait.

00:39:42.932 --> 00:39:43.817
I don't know how to do it.

00:39:43.817 --> 00:39:46.630
We know when a broke boy line, we got a, what we got a?

00:39:46.630 --> 00:39:49.804
We got a like cut a check to some shit like that, like we gotta figure it out.

00:39:49.804 --> 00:39:51.931
We got like sign up for YouTube premium or something.

00:39:51.931 --> 00:39:52.753
Do we get like a little bump?

00:39:52.753 --> 00:39:53.335
I don't know shit.

00:39:54.027 --> 00:39:59.257
But yeah, we did a reaction to the video ad by as yet group called acts yet and was a song.

00:40:00.306 --> 00:40:00.467
Night.

00:40:00.708 --> 00:40:01.731
Mm-hmm, hilarious.

00:40:01.731 --> 00:40:03.177
Go check that out on the patreon page.

00:40:03.177 --> 00:40:05.445
Oh, top moments of 2023.

00:40:05.445 --> 00:40:07.836
Um, let's start with some light heart issue.

00:40:07.836 --> 00:40:08.822
Let's start with sports.

00:40:08.822 --> 00:40:18.110
Oh, the top things that happened, in my opinion, in sports this year was Tom Brady finally retiring once and for all For like the second or third time.

00:40:18.110 --> 00:40:25.213
I think that was a seminar moment in sports, because you thought we thought he was gonna play forever, right, shit, time did so.

00:40:25.213 --> 00:40:27.246
He finally retired, Okay.

00:40:27.246 --> 00:40:32.358
And and then, of course, lebron James becomes the all-time leading scorer in NBA history.

00:40:34.086 --> 00:40:35.972
And, and he won an N season tournament champion.

00:40:35.972 --> 00:40:37.606
That's one more than Jordan Fucked.

00:40:37.666 --> 00:40:42.018
And they put a banner up, fuck that banner, that's so this was just missing a banner.

00:40:43.746 --> 00:40:44.327
Come on man.

00:40:44.327 --> 00:40:48.338
Yeah, I got a better for competition, like two eight seeds, two eight seeds.

00:40:49.626 --> 00:40:50.708
It's a one-off game.

00:40:50.708 --> 00:40:51.791
It wasn't even like a series.

00:40:51.791 --> 00:40:53.956
It wasn't like a best of five, best of nothing.

00:40:53.956 --> 00:40:55.150
It was one game.

00:40:55.150 --> 00:40:57.405
Anybody could win one game and the bro none of the lately.

00:40:57.405 --> 00:40:59.541
This is the most I've ever seen LeBron play defense.

00:40:59.541 --> 00:41:03.155
By the way, he played his heart out to win this little in season tournament.

00:41:03.155 --> 00:41:06.856
Jordan put that shit on his resume like yeah, jordan, on, got this one.

00:41:08.106 --> 00:41:11.110
To one time NBA in season tournament champion.

00:41:11.110 --> 00:41:14.157
If that shit going his Hall of Fame plaque, man, I quit basketball.

00:41:14.217 --> 00:41:20.266
It is, it's gonna say four-time champion, mm-hmm, it's gonna.

00:41:20.266 --> 00:41:25.478
It's gonna say in season tournament winner is gonna say NBA scoring leader.

00:41:25.478 --> 00:41:33.929
Mm-hmm and then, however many all-star game appearances or many Olympic gold medals he got too many, he's in the top five of all time.

00:41:33.929 --> 00:41:35.474
I just can never put him as my goat.

00:41:35.775 --> 00:41:36.978
He might be top three all time.

00:41:37.427 --> 00:41:41.992
He's probably top three you know I'm saying I just can't put him at the top.

00:41:41.992 --> 00:41:42.554
I'm just sorry.

00:41:42.554 --> 00:41:45.954
There's just too many factors that go into with the error that he played in.

00:41:45.954 --> 00:41:46.215
You know.

00:41:46.215 --> 00:41:50.885
I'm saying you know, going six for six in the finals, yeah, that's not all of it, but that counts for something.

00:41:51.505 --> 00:41:57.664
So Jordan has that over the MVP awards, the all the accolades, that's a whole another podcast, right.

00:41:58.646 --> 00:41:59.088
But anyway.

00:41:59.088 --> 00:42:00.391
So those are the sports.

00:42:00.391 --> 00:42:02.536
Anything you want to add that it might have happened in sports.

00:42:02.536 --> 00:42:07.045
They have the top she's those are the two top shits that happen this year in sports.

00:42:07.525 --> 00:42:11.132
That that dad is giving two Asian fellas a billion dollars.

00:42:11.534 --> 00:42:18.188
Yo, they spent a billion dollars and two motherfuckers be 700 million and six and was it, was it 320.

00:42:18.188 --> 00:42:22.744
They gave show he Othani 70 million a year and 68 million of that shit is deferred.

00:42:22.744 --> 00:42:24.168
That is crazy.

00:42:24.168 --> 00:42:25.050
That shouldn't even be allowed.

00:42:25.050 --> 00:42:26.632
That sounds like fucking tax evasion.

00:42:26.632 --> 00:42:30.487
That sounds like money laundering and again other board 326.

00:42:30.487 --> 00:42:33.965
No, it's a 326 that sounds like all types of laws being broken right there.

00:42:34.728 --> 00:42:38.105
I had a competitive tax laws working to not pay him 30 million dollars a year.

00:42:38.105 --> 00:42:41.376
They're gonna pay him basic two million dollars for the next 10 years in 680.

00:42:41.376 --> 00:42:44.125
The whole thing about 680 like it's not even like with interest.

00:42:44.125 --> 00:42:46.853
It is gonna sit 680 to stop them crazy, bro.

00:42:46.945 --> 00:43:00.327
And the loophole is that when he retires and he starts collecting the 68 million a year, it doesn't get taxed on where he plays Right, where he played like it does right now, as when you're a player, you get taxed in every state that you play, all right.

00:43:00.327 --> 00:43:04.945
When he's retired, this money that's deferred is only being taxed where he lives.

00:43:04.945 --> 00:43:11.173
So he could go to Florida or one of these other states that has no state income tax, that's it and collect even more.

00:43:11.173 --> 00:43:12.298
This is money, that's it.

00:43:12.298 --> 00:43:13.101
Tax less on it.

00:43:13.101 --> 00:43:13.704
That's crazy.

00:43:13.704 --> 00:43:17.056
How is that not like tax evasion of money laundering or some crazy shit?

00:43:17.224 --> 00:43:20.432
And then they gave the other homeboy one million dollars more than to give Gerakul.

00:43:20.432 --> 00:43:25.706
They like they did it on purpose, like Gerakul had the highest contract in baseball history for picture.

00:43:25.706 --> 00:43:27.326
Like more for all money, wise.

00:43:27.326 --> 00:43:28.987
And they gave one me Dodges.

00:43:28.987 --> 00:43:30.052
All right, let's move on.

00:43:30.052 --> 00:43:32.653
Man, he mad.

00:43:32.653 --> 00:43:35.565
Hey man, my team was trying to sign him in, like I know I'm gonna hang in the home.

00:43:35.565 --> 00:43:37.572
He's like all right, your team offered him more money than my team.

00:43:37.572 --> 00:43:39.059
At least y'all got Soto.

00:43:39.059 --> 00:43:39.501
Shut the fuck up.

00:43:40.206 --> 00:43:45.577
We offered him 300, your guy, you guys offered him 325 and he went and took that back to the Dodgers and they matched it.

00:43:45.577 --> 00:43:47.208
Yeah, yeah, but y'all got so though.

00:43:47.228 --> 00:43:49.976
So it's like yeah, it's what y'all needed more than anything.

00:43:49.976 --> 00:43:53.614
You need a left-handed consistent on base guy, and now you got him.

00:43:53.614 --> 00:43:57.543
Congratulations, we sign shit world conflicts.

00:43:57.563 --> 00:44:00.610
This year we mentioned Russia listen to the culture.

00:44:00.610 --> 00:44:03.478
So big, all, but at the same time they invaded Ukraine.

00:44:04.807 --> 00:44:05.610
You shooting them bearless.

00:44:05.610 --> 00:44:06.673
Ain't talking about that shit.

00:44:06.673 --> 00:44:07.818
Fuck, I'm glad.

00:44:07.878 --> 00:44:08.762
I'm just letting.

00:44:08.762 --> 00:44:10.668
I'm showing you fact we were listening to.

00:44:10.668 --> 00:44:11.811
It, doesn't fucking Russia.

00:44:11.992 --> 00:44:15.724
I'm happy for our Russian viewers, but they got some fuck shit going on right now.

00:44:16.027 --> 00:44:16.592
I can't do.

00:44:16.592 --> 00:44:25.528
And you know I have a co-worker who's from the Ukraine and I'm always, you know, checking on her, checking on her family, cuz she got family, that's the her parents.

00:44:25.528 --> 00:44:30.291
They're low Yo, the Ukrainians are the most proud people I've ever seen, yo.

00:44:30.291 --> 00:44:36.244
Hmm, like I'll ask her about her parents and she'll tell me that they refuse to come here, like they want to stay over there.

00:44:36.244 --> 00:44:43.565
You know I'm saying they want sit and they want to stand with a country, they want to fight with a country, they want to do what they can and you know I mean to the end, type shit.

00:44:43.746 --> 00:44:47.965
I'm like goddamn well, my thing is that that's, you know, honorable, admirable type shit.

00:44:48.306 --> 00:44:50.291
It's, it's, it's all they know, man, to stay home.

00:44:50.291 --> 00:44:52.856
They're not giving up the home right, they rather die.

00:44:52.856 --> 00:44:57.530
They like respected Israel and Palestine.

00:44:57.530 --> 00:44:58.512
Back any bullshit again.

00:45:00.027 --> 00:45:00.909
And that's the other thing.

00:45:00.909 --> 00:45:08.132
Yeah, the Palestine and Israel conflict, and I've been on purpose, I've been Purposely staying away from this topic.

00:45:08.132 --> 00:45:09.295
We haven't mentioned it at all.

00:45:09.295 --> 00:45:11.728
Right, and I have my reasons.

00:45:11.728 --> 00:45:18.956
I might in the future Maybe early to January if this keeps going on I might have an episode about it.

00:45:18.956 --> 00:45:20.893
I might bring on a guest and talk about it.

00:45:20.893 --> 00:45:23.690
But you know, I have my reservations.

00:45:23.690 --> 00:45:28.532
One of the reasons why I have been hesitant to talk about it Because I don't know enough about it, right, and I'm ignorant to it.

00:45:28.532 --> 00:45:30.157
So I don't really want to talk about it.

00:45:30.157 --> 00:45:31.509
I don't want to side with anybody.

00:45:31.509 --> 00:45:33.655
You know what I mean, cuz I don't really know enough about it.

00:45:34.045 --> 00:45:35.007
No, that's not actually.

00:45:35.007 --> 00:45:37.992
It's actually pretty intelligent of you you know I'm saying so.

00:45:38.012 --> 00:45:40.898
It's like and you already know how I feel about like religion.

00:45:40.898 --> 00:45:45.996
I'm not saying this conflict is solely has to do with religion, but I know that religion has a large part to do with it.

00:45:45.996 --> 00:45:46.297
Right?

00:45:46.297 --> 00:45:49.010
You know, holy land and this is our land.

00:45:49.010 --> 00:45:50.072
No, this is your know.

00:45:50.072 --> 00:45:50.875
The Bible says this.

00:45:50.875 --> 00:45:51.817
This says that Jesus.

00:45:51.817 --> 00:45:55.356
You know it's a lot of it has to do with religion, so I've stayed away from that topic.

00:45:56.246 --> 00:45:57.449
Yeah, am I a whole.

00:45:57.449 --> 00:45:57.751
Thing.

00:45:57.751 --> 00:45:58.614
Yeah, I get you.

00:46:00.391 --> 00:46:01.574
We're gonna tackle it eventually.

00:46:02.036 --> 00:46:04.664
I mean I'm gonna prerefuse it right now.

00:46:04.664 --> 00:46:05.688
The reason why I'm talking about it?

00:46:05.688 --> 00:46:21.757
Cuz they my problem, and I know that might seem kind of like petty and whatever else like that, but like, look, as an African-American person living in America who's been under the, the rule of oppression and everything else for decades, I'm not saying I am the Arbor of all black people, with a lot of black people feel this way.

00:46:21.757 --> 00:46:27.617
Certain conflicts and everything else are that that this is not my war, this is not my issue.

00:46:27.617 --> 00:46:37.516
What y'all got to sort out, what y'all got to sort out, it doesn't affect my daily thing, it doesn't affect necessarily my life and I don't have any.

00:46:37.516 --> 00:46:44.085
My issue really comes down to a simple fact is that I'm not pro Israel and I'm not pro Palestine.

00:46:44.085 --> 00:46:47.108
I Am pro Life.

00:46:47.610 --> 00:47:06.992
And what I mean and I don't mean that in like an abortion sense I mean the sense that there are a lot of people in the middle Men who have been the family's children getting caught up in a conflict has nothing to do with them, that their lives have been lost because of two war infections, and there are people being kidnapped as people, being murdered, raped as A sign of war.

00:47:06.992 --> 00:47:09.085
And I don't just I don't agree with that.

00:47:09.085 --> 00:47:11.650
Whatever your conflict is, your arm need to go up against.

00:47:11.650 --> 00:47:14.038
They are many to get the civilians in the innocent side of there.

00:47:14.038 --> 00:47:15.710
Could he got nothing to do with this?

00:47:15.710 --> 00:47:17.759
That's my only beef with it outside of that.

00:47:17.759 --> 00:47:18.922
That's your problem.

00:47:18.922 --> 00:47:19.445
I gotta deal with it.

00:47:20.454 --> 00:47:21.327
I Also.

00:47:21.327 --> 00:47:22.652
This is alarming.

00:47:22.652 --> 00:47:23.474
This is very alarming.

00:47:23.474 --> 00:47:29.985
This year mark the most mass shootings in the US and our country's history.

00:47:29.985 --> 00:47:32.733
They've been roughly around 700 as of this record.

00:47:32.733 --> 00:47:33.876
It's been around 700.

00:47:33.876 --> 00:47:35.771
That's fucking shootings.

00:47:38.686 --> 00:47:40.753
Look man, I told you, I told you, we number one at this year.

00:47:41.054 --> 00:47:43.525
That's multiple shootings a day dog.

00:47:44.126 --> 00:47:45.090
We're only getting better at it.

00:47:45.552 --> 00:47:46.114
That's, that's.

00:47:46.114 --> 00:47:51.074
That's almost twice as many shootings as as days in the fucking year bro.

00:47:51.275 --> 00:47:54.751
I told look, I told you about that, we're good at this, we're really good at this, we're number one.

00:47:54.751 --> 00:47:55.956
We love this shit.

00:47:55.956 --> 00:47:59.088
Every time we had that conversation about guns, we're really really good at this.

00:47:59.088 --> 00:48:00.070
And guess what?

00:48:00.070 --> 00:48:02.657
Next year we're gonna beat that limit because we can't help it.

00:48:02.657 --> 00:48:04.409
We don't want to do shit about it.

00:48:04.409 --> 00:48:06.375
If we really want to do shit about it, we could, but we just don't.
