Girl, yes, I did have a good breakfast, Mark. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Indeed. It is a 4th of July weekend. My baby made a little something, Mark. She went in the kitchen while I was in the bedroom just minding my business. Nice. I know you're trying to set me up for a joke, Mark. I'm not. We're happy for you. We're happy for you. Thank you, brothers. It's nothing that y'all, it's day three. I'm fine. I don't want to bore the audience with. Day three of what? Him living with his girl. Of me living with. He's counting it. He counting the hours. Work. Oh, I didn't. This is so fun. If counting it is bad, then I shouldn't tell you the other part. You'll really think I'm crazy, but I'll tell you. All right, so they got an A- on day one. You rating? Yo, who's got an A-? What the fuck is this, school? Yo, this is psycho. Who got an A-? I'm grading. It's my them. It's family. It's family. They got an A-. Oh, you grade them as a unit. Yeah, each day. Smart. Each day. There's no one man above the team. Day two, we dropped a C. Damn. Fall off on day two. What'd they do? What happened on day two? Me and the dog had to get acquainted. Oh, you got a dog? Oh, shit. Me. Is it a little cutesy dog? Yeah. It's a little chihuahua. Oh, my God. There's a dog bed that just arrived. That's all I'm going to say. Oh, the new dog bed. Oh, a doggy car seat, too? Look at you providing. Please. Please get it. I thought it got sent to the wrong apartment, that wrong building. Lock in on what we talking about. We talking about bitches is bad enough to make you move them in with a dog and kids. And pussy good. Oh, come on. I got two. Pussy's power. Move me with two dogs. Pussy power. And I'll be out there walking them and slipping some chicks is bad. So you going to war with a chihuahua on day two? I know he don't like jokes. So the dynamics of the house, we do have to get together. Happy 4th of July out there. The dynamics of the house, we got to get together. Anytime I've had a dog, the dog was connected to me. This dog is connected to her. The daughter, the daughters are connected to her. And the son is connected to me. So we just got to get a few things. There's a picture of it on there? Together. Oh, my God. See how we're doing ads. All right, we're doing ads. Thanks, Corey. Also, the way that kids function when it's just mom in the house versus how they knock on the door when it's a nigga in there needs to be addressed. Hard bangs like the feds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it's something important. It's just part of the hangout. Like it's something important that they want. They're not knocking. It's that. And that's cool when it's just mama. I don't know. That one is a nigga. It's also cool if they want shit. No child has ever knocked on the door and wanted anything of importance. That's a fact. I could be wrong. Am I wrong? They older, so they might actually want something. That's true. But having a blast. Having a great time. God is good. Ultra fulfilled. Blessed to be looking at my soulmate every morning for three days. You said she made breakfast for you. So I'm asking you, that means you got to make lunch or dinner or something. That's the trade-off. At some point. No, I meant today. I'm not doing that today. What are you talking about? Why would I be doing that today? You guys are lucky. I didn't have no electricity or nothing to make no food today. No electricity? Yeah, my shit went out last night at about 10.30 at night. Oh, I slept AC-less. Oh. On the hottest day of the year? Yeah, that's correct. It was like 102. That's correct. I was fortunate that it only got up to like 80. Oh, nice. Which is not great, but it could have been worse. Oh, poor Parksy. Yeah, it was a rough night. That's hard, man. Damn. And now I feel bad because Mom Donnie had put something out. He said, put the shit up to 78. Mom Donnie said, everybody, hey, y'all, the power grid is going to be struggling. Everybody put it, if you put your temperature to 78, then we won't have any loss of life. My neighbors did not listen. We won't have loss of power. Man, I went to the shit and crunked that shit to about 67. Well, you're a Jersey, so don't. Hey, Mom Donnie, nigga, no, no. I might go to my family house in New York and just turn it down. That's the reason why parks didn't have lights because the people like you. Exactly. We don't affect them. That's new shit. Hey, that's one of the things white people will have to endure. Like, I don't feel too bad when the whites get it. Like, all right. I'm sure it's black neighbors. My neighbors aren't all white. No, but you white, though. That's true. Yeah, sleep with sweat. Check this one out, though. So, at least Mom Donnie gave niggas a choice. When you got these smart thermostats hooked up, they send a notice around saying, yo, we adjusting these shit so that, to conserve energy. They turnt the shits up to 78 on they own. I love that. Are you serious? I swear to God. You have to go in there and manually override it. I'm like, yo, why the fuck would you say 78? Yo, y'all suck at socialism, man. Y'all just gonna kill everybody. I love that. Yes. Wait, socialism mean you gotta keep the temperature at 78? You care about your. No, but I'm saying, like, it's a mindset of, like, thinking about the collective. We all we got. Yeah. Hey, I could have managed 75. 78 was way too far. See, now I lost all my sympathy for you. I'm glad that's up. Here's the thing. 78 is so much better than 80, whatever it was last night. I do 78 in the winter. Socialism don't know about marketing. If y'all lead with that, the plight is over. Yeah. Keep the temperature at 78. That's like the bloods leading. We gotta jump you in. I was down, but no. I'm gonna pass. I'm cool. I'm choosing a zero on that one. Let's see here. Let's get it. We take too long, so my phone freezes, which means I can't start with my clip of Maino wanting to fuck Mona. I have my friend in real life, Mr. Jim Jones, on the pod. He still hasn't been on the pod. Enough of that pod talk, mama. And we have Mr. Maino. I'm a big fan of Mr. Maino. Nah, enough of that big fan. Big fan shit. Off camera, Maino came at Ebony because Ebony tried to charge him. I mean, that's what they said. No, I didn't. I just asked a question. Hello. I was surprised about a lot of things. Hello. We can talk about that if you want. We can talk about it. What you surprised about? Look at Thursday. Okay, I appreciate it. You're so thirsty. On the internet, it's not good in that. I'm like this nigga's sister. Let's keep it. I'm not your brother. I'm not your brother, little girl. I ain't your brother, mom. No, no. It's so funny. He's such a character, that guy. Uh-huh, character. He's just on it. He's spot on when that camera comes on. Yeah.

fucking Street crime music Court case Snitch rat expert Mark Lamont Hill Not I Oh I thought it was Freeze Yeah about to say That's this couch It's actually no street But sometimes Alright well let's say What would Ish say here I don't care I don't care You're not here What would you say then You the other This nigga is stupid That's what I'm gonna say I've been saying it This was A conversation First off, just the thought to go in and say, all right, we're going to get out the deal by pulling a gun on you and making you, like, y'all watch too many movies. Yeah. And hear too many boogeyman stories. Like, that's not how business works. I mean, there was a time where it was. You watch too many movies and hear too many stories. That's not how it works today. Today, it worked like that. It never worked like that for blacks, for black people. There's some people that got out of some contracts in the 90s and shit. There was some guys. That's what I'm thinking. They would pass into the label and all that type of shit. It was effective once upon a time. Not today. That was a different issue. I remember the 90s has been like three decades. Yeah. That's a long-ass time ago. And he wasn't there for that. It felt like yesterday. Yeah. It does feel like yesterday. Yeah. But he wasn't there for that. So again, you're hearing stories. You weren't there for it. You did. There was no cameras back then. You could get away with shit. That's the key. Because even if you don't get out the deal, like, you don't go to jail. Right. Now with recordings and video, all that shit happens. Especially if you have your band recorded. It ain't even like somebody else caught it. Security, like, surveillance footage. You don't get mad. Yo, dawg, record me robbing him and making him sign this deal. See, and that's the shit I don't like about it, too. Because it's like, one thing would be like, I'm doing this for business. But then there's the clout-chasing part of it. You know, when you see people on social media wearing jewelry that was taken, when you see people alluding to it in rap lyrics, when you see social media posts, like, if y'all really doing that, then you shouldn't be doing this other thing over there. See, I'll never be able to understand that part. But again, I'm not a criminal, so. It goes back to our other conversation we had the previous part about image and all of that type of shit. Like, you take somebody chain, now I can prove, you can't, you can't. What Drake said, you know, somebody pulling their chain and said they got robbed. Like, now if, or you could say, yo, I lost my chain or whatever. Right. You could get out of it by saying something else happened. No, nigga, we got your chain right here. Right. You know what I'm saying? It's that I need to prove shit. This younger generation, all they care about is proving shit to the internet. Yo, I know young people that's killing it out there and that's, like, really bright. So I ain't gonna loop up all the young idiots with just being young. No, these niggas are just idiots. And that's okay. I thought these niggas was idiots before this. But even those who are bright, but even those who are bright, if somebody questions something about them, the first thing they do is rush to prove it. That was the whole Cheyenne Bryant thing. Hey, post it. Prove it to us. You see what I'm saying? It ain't just the idiots. It's this internet shit where I have to prove it to strangers. Good or bad. If I don't post it. Good or bad. If I don't post it, it's not real. It doesn't exist. I have to prove it to you strangers. Not just the bad shit. I think Cheyenne Bryant's a false parallel because there's no jail time involved with her lying about school. No, I'm saying. Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? Could you go to jail for that? Only if you were doing a certain kind of therapy, I would imagine. Interesting. Yeah, but in general, no. Got it. People lie about degrees all the time. No, I wasn't talking about on the jail shit. I'm just saying proving. You niggas need to go to, like, a crime school. Like, go somewhere and learn crime if you're this passionate about it. Like, if you're really going to dedicate your entire life. And then I read something this morning. He got a newborn baby coming? Oh, my God. Did his mom come out and say he's expecting child? His mom posted the ultrasound. You know, the internet. Get the internet in. Shorty's name wasn't covered out. And they realized who that is. Oh, Lord. Yeah, it's a lot. Who the mom? And they're all over there. The mom's a T2, like, what? The mom is my famous? Yeah. Who is it? Marissa. Who's Marissa? Who's Marissa? You. Not that, no. NLE Choppa, Baby Moms. Oh, shit. The old one? The bad bitch, the one that's in her 30s. Yeah, she. You two for two with the rapper, that's it, bitch. All right. They started putting up. Now, why would she do. Now, that proves, you know, you're a sick bitch. Now, why the fuck would you do that? Damn, it just hit me how dumb that was. I love more niggas. Wow, yikes. That's no, but that's. Wait, somebody break it down for me. I'm slow. Yeah, me too. I'm missing it. When she was with NLE Choppa, he was the, you know, her young boy. And it's like, he did what young niggas do. Got cheating her. I think he broke up with her. He didn't really. Because he wanted to be in the baby's life, but he didn't want to do the family thing. And she would blast him. And then she would take advantage and blast him all the time. If y'all remember, NLE Choppa tried to be, like, more open to, like, the gays and, like, different sounds. And he would do, like, anti-violence type of stuff. And she'd be the first one chewing his ass up. Very good at it, girl. But she would be chewing his ass up. It's crazy, because I talked about her here before. And she DM'd me, not to say don't talk shit, but she DM'd me and say, bitch, I'm 32, not 36. Y'all don't know how old that bitch is. But she's a bad bitch. But just for you to drag him like that and have a baby with him, and then the second one be pooched out. Girl, we get to ovulating. It just makes me mad to see. That's like. I got this tweet I see going around now with fucking Eva from the old time model. Oh, yeah. Of Eva talking about, y'all broke up with Lance Gross because he wanted kids and I didn't want kids. And now I feel bad every time I see him, because I got three kids. Yeah, that's true. And her three kids is with. Politician boy. No, no, no. No, no, boy. She got one with Kevin. What's her own boy to be. Kevin McCall. Yeah, she got one. Just the oldest is with Kevin McCall. The other ones are with that politician guy. Okay. But if you leave a Lance Gross. Because you don't. You don't want kids and get even a half a kid with Kevin McCall. Yeah. I mean, Kevin McCall is a little. He was like in the beginning of his shit. That's before. You didn't really know he was crazy, crazy until she had that check. I'm not even talking about that. You always have to know. It happens to a lot of us. We just say it like he say, Lance Gross. All right. Yeah. I don't get why. What's it called? I cannot believe that's Pooh Shiesty, baby. Wow. Pooh Shiesty, you need a. You're having a good shit. You need a mentor. I didn't. He need a mentor. He gonna have a mentor upstairs. I feel like. Everybody got a mentor. So it's always a good old man to help you out when you do 20, 30. He need like a how to do crime book. Crime for dummies? Yeah, exactly. His father advice was, hey, let's go down there and run down on niggas. I don't know why I keep ignoring that. That's the part that I didn't love. It's his fucking dad. And then he went. His father's a gangster. His father's respected in Memphis. He came up as a baby gangster, baby his father. So the fact that everybody is being blind to the fact that this boy is literally raised to be a hooker. He's been saying it in his music that he got the game. He got the game. He got all of that through his. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Y'all saying these things. Why people are disregarding that fact is because when you say that, it implies that because there's generations of this, we're good at it. No, that's not. My dad was a gangster. My dad did this. He raised me. He got years in. He's flying over here. That would make me believe that sometimes it's off the table. Or we just said shit that worked in the 90s don't work today. My pops is old. The way they was doing shit back then, he might have told me to do shit the way that they used to do it. But how about. It won't fly today. Right. Like, this is how I got out of Stax Records. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Gang culture is totally different than regular gangster culture, right? In Philadelphia, we don't have gangbangers, more beef over blocks. Gang culture is totally different. You will be born as a blood. That's what you are. Now, I'm sure there's 50 million black men and black women that can say, I was born in a blood family. I was paroled, but I went to college. I escaped or whatever. But that took some steps to be made if you're in a family where your fucking grandma has a flag, right? So that's what I say with who should I see. Where Memphis, where they from in Memphis, they gangbang. I think they some type of Crips or something. If your father's a Crip, you're a Crip. So if you grow up gangbanging like that, then you get this blessing of entertainment. Why is anybody really shocked that that's how they handled the first contract riff? I would be shocked if that wasn't how they handled it. If daddy didn't grow to teaching, I'm not excusing anything. I'm just saying it's more indicative. You're not being an extra special person to beat your environment. Extra smart people beat their environment. Average people just do what they see around them. And if I'm a criminal and I've been in and out of jail and I plan on continuing my life of crime, I'm not saying fuck the feds in my music. My brain just says that would make the feds target me when I'm not trying to be targeted. Sometimes you want to hide in plain sight, though. How does saying fuck the feds do that? Everybody says fuck the feds. That's not true. A lot of people say fuck the feds. Plenty of people rap about selling drugs and don't sell drugs. So if I was a drug dealer in real life and rapping, I might still rap about selling drugs just to get a hide in plain sight. But if I'm on federal probation, I might not be saying fuck the feds. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I hear that. Fair point. You know, I don't have nothing to add to this. I think this nigga's the dumbest nigga. I don't know about that. I'm fourth. I'm forcing my brain to even say something about this stupid nigga. I'm praying for him. I want to say that the police don't care about stuff like that, but it's not true. Remember when Big Meech and them got indicted? You know, that cop was driving to work to Atlanta, and Meech and them had that The billboard. The world is yours, and they pissed him off. The billboard. Every day, on the way to work for this dumbass 9-5. And I got to look up and see this. This rich-ass man talking about the world is mine. I know he's selling cocaine. That was part of the reason why he indicted them. So I'm sure fuck the feds might irritate the rest of them. I'll tell you one thing. Totally. Reporting that story versus me seeing it now totally changed whatever I was thinking about Gucci Mane. Boy, that was the smoothest robbery I ever seen. He was smooth. He was chill. Gucci Mane was all right. He looked as comfortable as one could possibly look. He looked annoying. Like, y'all take it. Yeah, I already. You got it. All right, what? What's up? And he looked smart. Yeah. Right. Hands in my pockets. I ain't moving. He looked smart. Like, come on, man. I can't believe that. Hey, Poosh, I asked you to drop from 10. 10-17. Oh, you didn't. I already said it. I said, Poosh Heisty is dropping 10-17. Poosh Heisty has nothing to do with 10-17. I'm writing the paper. Pouchet ain't got nothing to do with Tim that nigga Couchet y'all got Dracos out and all y'all want me to do is say this and sign this no problem and I go home why did they think that was a word I bet and y'all calling hey Pouchet Pouchet's a draft from 1017 Pouchet was never signed in 1017 and he will never be signed in 1017 like what else y'all want me to say hey guess who ain't in 1017 ain't nobody on 1017 no more it's me I'm closing the label you ain't no fuck hey ain't no 1017 I don't need that shit and Pouchet looked like he was drunk or something he looked bro and he no y'all want to fuck he look dumb yes he look drunk or high or something he got a slow look to him they need to put that in his fucking PSI that he was in but FDO I played it again that shit is hard he smoked that I don't know why he but even in that record nigga said my grandmother told me to keep the grass low but the whole time I'm the snake yeah it's one of my favorite lines that shit horrible I mean the music better when they living it I'm kind of telling you the music better when they living it I'm telling you it's like joke unfortunately it is it's so much better unfortunately then Gucci walked over to the gun the gun dude the dude that was blocking the door yeah get your face on camera too nigga yeah you too now let me walk back over here hey go ahead go ahead Gucci go ahead man I tell you that was smooth I'm still not with the record Gucci put out I just didn't like it and I'm still not with you signing all the niggas that are into this behavior but so many are dead like it's just such a bad they lost a lot he had a bad little one he lost a lot R.I.P. Big Scar and Enchanted they were really talented people let me tell you something if Pooh Shiesty don't want to be on 1070 guess who the fuck ain't going to be on 1070 Pooh Shiesty you gone you he said that you dropped you dropped that's it this is what a phone call right so they all on a bell except Pooh Shiesty except everybody but Pooh Shiesty oh he's not that's why we talking about him they trying to get the feds to revoke his cause he on probation the feds so they trying to get the feds to violate him yeah cause part of that is you can't be with no guns and none of that shit and here you are on video the feds typically like to let him outweigh one so they do one case and then another one so it's like if they do that they're really on his ass cause typically they just wait cause they ain't got no they always win they don't have no you know what I mean the rush would be the run of concurrence so they not doing two sentences separate but they don't give a fuck and they know they got you so it doesn't matter you know what I mean got it okay he's fucked I feel bad for him he's out of here no he's he's out of here you feel bad for him I do I ain't gonna lie I feel bad for him I feel like the same thing with Tay-K I feel like he didn't have a shot some people you just don't have a shot I hear that you do not have a shot and it's like Tay-K was a fucking minor but I'm talking about Poo Shiesty had a shot Poo Shiesty didn't have a shot Poo Shiesty had a shot I didn't listen we not gonna we not gonna break it down to the T like y'all like to do I know what she's saying what I'm saying is is that like I said 50,000 other times between being grown up in gang culture and having your parents who balls in vagina you came out of gang bang I just think that it's hard to it's hard to Joe if you were about to make a terrible decision you could call either one of your parents and they probably would tell you the opposite your son just did you told us about your son I understand you know what I'm saying at some point though maybe after your first case or your second case you do gotta take some ownership of the decisions like the outcome daddy on the phone like you know what time it is son yeah prison time you know how we get down son yeah that's what it's about load that shit up nigga come get your daddy nigga I know jail has to suck at 105 degrees outside jail is cold whenever it's hot it's too cold or when it's cold it's too hot whatever well hopefully the next artist that's watching this will make a different decision maybe there's gonna be some cautionary tale shit for them yeah word hopefully speaking of music though y'all been following this NDI this NDI Reads situation I have I wanna talk about it so much I have I have so much to say about it well let's talk about it let's do it well first thing that happened this all started because of a remix that was put out when when when Spin That was flipped into video NDI Reads video and so that's when India kinda jumped in and started speaking about it what did she say? she also and she also reposted something on on on Threads this is important like the Threads part someone had said let's ban the song or let's boycott the song and people assumed that she was supporting a boycott then what she talked about was and what other people talked about was that this was bad for the culture that this was detrimental for the culture that it you know that it's harmful and that she don't rock with it there was a time but she said she did not say boycott that was not her idea she went she addressed some of this and I have what she said just so we are all on the same page we love you India I love you but I will times two on it don't make me do it alright fuck it you asked for it my third album Testimony volume one like my relationship turned 20 years old on Friday the 27th it snuck up on me somebody had to tell me and so that's why I'm making a video right now instead of writing about this on my sub stack which if you know me you know I like writing on my sub stack and you'll see that little back there ok and I've been in the blogs a couple times this last week and so I wanted to come and talk about these things let's talk about the easy one first it is being wrongly reported that I think we should boycott this song of the summer I'm not going to tell you what it is because I refuse to sing that song but either you know what it is or you don't if you don't you can go find it she's talking about Carisha's song y'all but I don't think we should boycott what I want is to see people understand the power of words and music and to make choices that are healthy for them and that's what I want do I think it matters what I want for people no I have finally learned that it doesn't matter and that there's no amount of um sacrificing my life force energy that is going to make anybody want anything better for themselves all I can do is emanate what I emanate stand for what I stand for and hope that it reaches who it's meant to reach and that's it and that's all I'm going to do and so my comment makes it very clear that I don't think we should boycott my comment is tantamount to everybody doesn't want the same things and there are a lot of people who are saying it's just a song well if that's what you think enjoy but what I know is that music has power but of course I have used that power to help some people and I have traveled around this world twice and I see the impact of what we export out of the black American experience to the rest of the world longer story for another time but I've seen it so I know and I'm telling you what it is but you enjoy if that's what you want to do and I will enjoy doing what I want to do and that's why I don't think anybody needs to boycott I think people just need to make choices for themselves and that's what I think I like that that's one there you have it yeah one I appreciate her take on the boycott thing and I think that's generally my position on art is don't boycott it don't legislate against it let people make choices you know I may be loud about a thing that I like or don't like but I think people have a right to do it I think if you would have asked me 10 years ago I would have been completely in disagreement with India about Spin That which I like by the way I think it's a you know it's a song I think it's great but now I get it in a different way I understand the harm that songs have I don't think that Spin That is uniquely harmful or particularly harmful and I've seen other comparisons like is it more harmful than everybody listening to Annie Up you know what I mean like it's like no right it's almost no so I don't want to isolate this song like it's some uniquely problematic thing but I do think there's a conversation to have about like do we want to keep celebrating songs that encourage behavior yeah see what I'm saying like it's old it's such an old ass song but I think that was the point it's like we've always been doing this and sometimes every generation likes to act like new shit the new music is different and I'm saying every generation has these conversations as I get older though I do think about the harmony of music it causes and the damage that it can cause and so I I would take the position of yeah maybe we shouldn't maybe we shouldn't what rock with it not that we shouldn't be allowed to just that me personally maybe I need to even be more thoughtful about maybe you should maybe I should yeah maybe I shouldn't but you never rocked with it no remember I was like but then I went outside and I was like he came around and my opposition to the song was never the message of it I was just like this song is just like it just was like kind of like but the frequencies from the song didn't make Mark turn to a life of boosting right but Mark is really intelligent I think that true first of all shout out to NDI Ree for looking amazing in that clip she looks exactly the same she looks beautiful everything about NDI Ree is amazing yes like the brown skin is still glowing you look good girl but I think that's the part that's so confusing to me is that I'm like a real grew up in hip hop kind of kid and I remember these conversations every time we had them I remember when it was the NWA thing I remember when it was the Lil' Kim thing I remember when it was the loop thing I mean I can remember Lil' Kim Lil' Azz sitting on like daytime television and everybody just coming at her you're a fucking whore why are you doing this you know so it's like it's kind of silly in that way also my personal opinion the song sucks that's when I first didn't like it it's because how it's just so fucking ghetto I'm ghetto love the ghetto see the beauty in the ghetto but that was a little too much for me they put crack in no listen hear me out it's not I'm not even saying it's too much for me because of the content it's just just corny. Like to me, it's just repetitive. I didn't fuck with the song for that. It's corny. I'm not saying I didn't like it because it's too low vibrational. I'm saying it's just so fucking. It's one of the good songs. Didn't like the song. Yeah, so. That's fine. I'm not mad at that. Now we all listen to it. We all like it. It is one of them songs that you heard it enough. Now you like it. But I think it's one of them situations where it's just like you. Well, I guess it happens a lot where you blend the cultures. That's the song you're supposed to hear in the club and at the strip club and shit. But now you hear it at the family reunion and your grandma is saying, turn that, spin that on, baby. It's one of them songs. And I think that's what's irritating the church folk. Because you are going to hear it after Frankie Beverly in the mix now because it's the biggest song of the summer. Shout out to you, bitch. Fire that DJ. Because clearly. I mean, really. She got to bang her some kind of way out of that bullshit. And I want to congratulate her. I think you damned if you do, damned if you don't. First, it was so horrible because it sucked. Now it's so horrible because of the content. My thing is, even in terms of content records, this ain't even that bad compared to some of the other shit. Nigga, we was wondering. What are we? The clubs, everybody was wondering. I was like. Even Percocet, Molly Percocet. She's like, this ain't shit. This is on the lowest possible level of whatever Indy is trying to say. I think we should take all the offensive rap songs and figure out the prison sentence for years from now and then lay it out. Like, come on. It might be hard. It might happen. They always affiliated with a crime. They're going to start putting. Some girl was allegedly boosted probably like two days ago where her toddler. She was in that car. Police officer shot the car up, killed this time. But she was in that store stealing and she ran to the car. Boosting has always been a dangerous job like that. I've seen boosters get murdered just like that with the same story that she was driving the car towards security versus her trying to drive to get away with her fucking down coats. I don't know, but that's what they do. It's the same thing. They associate crimes with the song. They make it a big thing. And then it's like this big effort to take the song down. It's too late. Everybody loves it. See, I think in this case, I don't think India chose this song. I don't think India chose this song because it was particularly bad. Again, I think it was just because that's what got mixed with her. Which is also interesting because video is basically put it in your mouth. Right? When you think about. So, hers. What? It's on video. Okay. And you remember you put it in your mouth? Yes. Akanele? It's in the same track. I think it is the same track, isn't it? Same sample, maybe, yeah. I mean, every part of it, I think. I don't think there's any difference. Akanele, that was a classic. I don't think there's any difference between putting it in your mouth and video from what I can think. I'm saying that to say it's interesting how a track can be one thing, but the content. When you think about video versus put it in your mouth, there's a radically different way you experience the song. That's interesting to me and important to think about in terms of the impact it might have on the culture. I'm okay saying, look, Spin That ain't in the top 50 of fucked up songs. However, use it as an opportunity to say, maybe we could listen to some different shit. Maybe we could do something because maybe we are reinforcing the culture of unhealthy music. I used to be one of the. Activism as a scholar, a lot of my stuff was. My first work was around hip-hop, and I was one of the people who was critical of Tipper Gore, one of the people critical of C. Delores Tucker, one of the people critical of all the people that were coming after hip-hop, smashing the CDs and all that stuff. And now, 30 years later, I'm like, they were right. But what? They were not right. How the hell was that right? Not about the. Forget about the free speech part. Again, I support free speech. I can't forget about that. It's the major part. No, I'm saying, that's not the part that I'm disputing. I'm saying, I. I begin from, everybody should make whatever they want to make. Okay. My thing is, why do we have an appetite for it? I want us to have a different appetite for it. Why do we only do this with black music? Why don't. There's mad rock songs that are extraordinarily destructive. Well, that's why I mentioned Tipper Gore, because she would have to rock. You know, she didn't. Tipper Gore wasn't particularly focused on hip-hop. In fact, she was more focused on the rock stuff. Okay. I'm saying all of it, right? But I have a particular interest in black music because I have a particular interest in black people. Okay, okay. Right? But, again, why does one seem to negate the other? Like, if I. If I have an appetite for Italian, that don't mean that I don't have an appetite for soul food. That don't mean that. Because I'm listening to this song, don't mean that I'm not listening to fucking Mary Mary or anything else. Even if I'm listening. Just because I'm listening to the song don't mean I'm taking anything from the song but the music. You know, everybody ain't running out here, I heard this record, now it made me want to do X, Y, and Z. That's a fact. But sometimes. But it's not as high as people think. Very small. It's not as high as people think. I would put more of that. Very small. I would put more of that on movies, I would put more of that on certain video games, all of that shit before I put it on hip hop. Very small amount of people are influenced by what. You said it. I didn't know, you just changed what you said. Not influenced by. Very small percentage of people hear something and do it. And then go do it. Yeah. And that's. In a song? Not influenced by. And the studies. As a teenager, I had. The psychological studies that I. You know, again, this hasn't been my area of expertise in a while, but when I was looking at the impact of, like, music on people's actions, it is relatively small. Like, people don't listen to shoot-em-up songs and go out and shoot people. People don't. That's not what I'm worried about. I'm talking about the broader cultural patterns and trends we have. When Jay-Z told people to stop wearing jerseys, we stopped wearing jerseys. Like, there's a cultural impact to things. Jay-Z also said. Jay-Z also said, Scarface the movie did more than Scarface the rapper to me. Sure. Meaning. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, people love to just go right to hip hop and say this is what's doing all of these things. That's at the bottom of the list of shit that's fucking shit up. Right, but I'm not saying that. I'm making a different argument because I agree with that argument. I don't think that. For example, there's a culture of violence in America. It's not unique to hip hop. It ain't just America. It's not unique to culture. It's a culture of violence in humanity. No, no, no. No, no, no. In humanity. I'm making that point. I'm saying the same thing you're saying. Look how Karisha got us. No, but she's gotten us someplace interesting, I think, right? Like, I would say even down to foreign policy, our response of problems is to shoot it or bomb it or blow it up. That's America. That's not hip hop. I'm with you. I'm with you. That's not my issue. My issue is. That there are certain things in our culture that matter more to us than things that are outside of our culture. And I'm saying inside of our culture, what kind of values do we want to have? Now that I look at. Think about what C. Delores Tucker was talking about, about misogyny in hip hop, what Dean Warwick was saying. I can't, 30 years later, as a damn near 50-year-old man, with any honesty or integrity, say that hip hop isn't misogynistic, right? I just can't. That'd be true. It is. Right, so if all of our songs are misogynistic. You threw a word in there. It's not all. Fair. Withdrawing. Not even close. I don't want to get. Exactly. Not even close at all. That's the problem, though. That's where my problem starts, right there. I said the wrong word. I misspoke. I'm going to take it out. But there are a lot of people that say kind of what you're saying, and they don't take the all out. Touche. But I don't want to lose the actual point that I'm making, which is if there is a lot of misogyny in our culture, which it is, then that does shape and influence how we think about things. I was influenced by Snoop. I was influenced by Eazy-E. I was influenced by Digable Plans and Most Definite. I mean, I was just influenced by all of them. Exactly, exactly. But even some. I was influenced by Snoop, too, but I didn't go out and start smacking bitches because he said it in a lyric somewhere. And again, I'm not arguing that people listen to it and run out and do it. Again, I'm talking about attitudes, trends, values. Why do we always take it inward? Well, I wouldn't do it. Well, we're pretty special people. What about everybody else? Well, my thing is, I have a few points to make. I think it's the other way around. That's why. I have a few points, but I'll explain what he's done. Go ahead. For me, I won't speak for me, art is not just reserved for the good people. That's true. True. It ain't. Like, some art, I'm with the art that's speaking about whatever sin is from their surroundings or that they're experiencing or when they were that, I'm fly with. Sometimes it even opens the door for healthy conversations like NDRR is attempting to have. Two, NDRR has always come from a very unique place. Like, her first day on the scene, it was, we are beautiful, as a people. Yeah. Fuck what them people was talking about. Don't let them talk about our hair and our skin and you are, like, she was proud and kicking something that wasn't really popular and it's never been popular, really, in this, which leads to my third point. I'm not going to let us sit here and keep talking about Carisha, Carisha, Carisha when the bigger conversation is the infrastructures that are in place that push some of the programming to certain demographics. Y'all ain't going to put this on fucking young Miami. Y'all are not. We've had Tank come up here and talk about the programming and later in this NDRR clip, she does go on and talk about Clive Davis. Our baby should have played it. But yeah, if we're going to start attacking just songs, especially the good ones, like, we need to start attacking where they come from and why they come from. And why they're being promoted. A thousand percent agree. And why they're being promoted to who they're being promoted to. Yes. My next point is And I don't think it's time for songs. Music, music, music and art is applicable, is you decide how it's applicable to your life, right? Like, I've been vibing with this T.I. shit so hard and part of why I'm enjoying it and not just him, I'm enjoying age-appropriate music for me where I am, adult music that I can identify with. He on there talking about having money, going broke, being a dad, being a family, fucking grown up, making money, making mistakes. Like, he's, I like that. Me too. I don't know if I necessarily need that when I'm in a strip club or when I'm in a nightlight or when I'm, I don't really need to hear nothing that is age-appropriate for me. Give me all of the bounce that ass just like a friend do. Give me the I want the thick one. All of that shit that don't make no sense. This is the environment that I would like to hear that I don't leave here and now I'm programmed some type of different way. Yeah, so again, I think we all agree that music isn't that one-to-one where you hear something in your program. But it's that before you get to the words is what I'm saying. Music does something before a word is laid to your body. That's why I used the put it in your mouth video comparison. Right. Because it's the exact same track, but with very different content and both hard and both both classic for sure. And I'm saying sometimes the content does change something. But I think also you're in a strip club and you're in your really late 40s. Right. And you're listening to. I'm not. Am I really late for you said my really late. I mean, you really are in your late 40s. Listen to the strip club. You're old enough to make that choice. And there's always been music, whether it's Millie Jackson, whether it's Clarence Carter, rest in peace. We're recipes, both of them, where you could listen to this music in the context of a certain space. But now the playing feels a little bit more level to me. So everybody's hearing everything. And so I'm not so much worried about how you respond. But that's a scammer. So but but but but my response to that is that that's back to me saying you take what's applicable to you. Let me ask you to the 16 year old. That's my that's what I was about to ask. But that's what I mean. That's what I'm talking about. Beating their women. And that's a problem. I'm not Johnny Cash. But see, I'm not saying those are OK. I'm saying it's all a problem. And I'm saying we should probably be more critical of it. Mark, let me ask you a question. Do you think that there are teenagers that will hear spend it and say, oh, I need to start scamming? Yes, hon. Is this yes or no? Yes. Oh, yes. But that's not my argument is. I know what you're saying. I'm not saying that's not my influence. Do this. Right. However, there is a scammer culture. And there are people. Scam. And if I'm already mixed up a scammer culture and my favorite song is about is about scamming. Yes, I think that might. So I've already been in scam. Scamming ain't new. That's why I'm not blaming the music. I'm saying the music is a factor that that makes things hard. We have an opportunity when we listen to something. It could make things the same. It could make things better or could make things worse. I'm saying maybe sometimes make some shit that makes things better. And it's not on Carisha. It is on the industry. It is on the system. It is on all the bigger shit. It's the same thing with gangster rap. We could have kept listening. Different kinds of shit. Gangster rap had money in it, but partly because it was about killing niggas. Can I ask a question? Why is not anybody addressing what she says when she says I've traveled the world twice? And I've seen the impact that black culture has on the world. I've seen that y'all don't. That's a fact. Most of y'all have never seen it. So that's a fact that black culture impacts the world. Right. But when we giving it out and that's what she's saying, like when we giving it out this way, I'm assuming she's saying. And what they think of us. Is that what she's talking about? I don't think she's knowing her a little bit. I don't think she's primarily concerned with how the world sees it. I think she's more worried about us internally. How they respond to us. How they react to us. How they emulate us. How they adore us. How they take the fashion. How they take this lingo. How they take the hairstyle. She's talking about the impact that we have. Yeah, that's basically what you're trying to say. If we giving that out, that's our impact on the world. But we giving the other shit out too. We do run the world. We giving the other shit out too. Listen, I'm just saying. And that's the thing that I think is important about these conversations. For me, when a person comes off with, I traveled the world twice and this is what I saw from my pay. That's catching my ear. Because I haven't traveled the world. So it's like, and it's a different way of thinking of it. Because we do run shit. I just watched a fucking Japanese bar, Korean bar. This nigga's doing Jodeci. Whole bar. Boots and suit jackets. Like we really do run shit to that point. You know? So that's something I've never thought of. And I'm also somebody that has never traveled the world. So that's why I'm just going to be interested. But when people say that. When people say that, they make it seem like this is all we're giving to the world. Is this side over here. Correct. The best selling albums of this year rap wise are what? Drake and J. Cole. Are they rapping about scamming? No, they're not. And Don Toliver. And Don Toliver. And my thing is when it comes to females rapping, right? I mean, we should have had our fucking female or woman leader role models jump in a long time ago. This scamming song is the least. If we just. You're talking about the women raps. Of the last. Agreed. Half a decade. Yes. Pussy pink, booty hole brown. Yeah, stop it. Wearing shit. And it was quiet. Now y'all all listening to lyrics. Cool. So we breaking down. That is just anatomy. We breaking down every word in the hook. But in the clubs. Stop it. When this song come on, it's niggas with jobs throwing money. It's fucking niggas in suits throwing money. The World Cup Ecuadorian niggas. When they. They come and they throw them like nobody is really focused on the scammer portion of this record. Yeah, it's a catchy song. She caught one and they know that's what she knew what part to make fucking catchy spin. That she didn't say scammer, spinning, scamming, spinning, spinning, spinning. Don't it was just a simple spin that shit. Yeah, that's anybody. Hey, my son, my son. When he take all my money off the dresser, it's been that you don't. But that curse curse. Nah, my girl's son, he thought, because on the radio they just say spinach. But she said it real fast. Spinach. Spinach. All the kids saying spinach. Spinach. I'm like, what the fuck? Play spinach. All the toddlers say spinach, I swear to you. Spinach chips. Spinach. No, dog, I wanted to go to Halston's the other day, and I just started singing spinach dip in my head. I was all for that. I did. Yeah, she about to get an Applebee's deal. Spinach dip. Spinach dip. Spinach dip. Go get Miami. Get that fucking money, girl. Hey, that's a good one. Aquarian. Let's go. Hey, yo, Miami, you ain't got to give a fuck about what none of them is talking about as hard as you worked to get one of these after your group broke up. That's the other side. This girl bust her ass. She was left for dead, hoe. Everybody clowning you as soon as it happened with dude, everybody, ah, look now. And she fought through that and came out with one. Like, come on, man. Now y'all want to start popping shit? No, no. I don't think it's about that. And I didn't like the song at first, so I want to make it seem like I was one of them day one. I didn't either. They put crack in it, didn't they? It's a good fucking, like, when you out, when you outside. You guys. I don't even talk, please. Oh, sorry. When you outside, that record does exactly what you need it to do. Yeah. Can't deny that. I just wish it were a little more cool. I mean, I think about, so we don't stay in the exact same place. I was thinking about hip hop and its impact positively, right? For example, growing up, we heard a lot of records about people whose dads wasn't there. I think that mattered. I agree. Like, I think hip hop made it not cool to be a deadbeat dad. Fucking agree. I think hip hop did some amazing shit. And people don't rap about, yo, I had two kids, never seen them, nigga. Like, you don't rap about that shit. Now, some of them do it, but they don't rap about it. I don't even, I don't like that. I don't like that. What? Because that's a, that's true at some point in hip hop, depending on where you were introduced. Yeah. I didn't hear nothing like that when I was introduced to hip hop. I didn't hear a peep about nobody having a dad. In the 80s. Oh. Oh. On LL Radio, I didn't hear him say it. Kid and Play, Rakim, Slickwick, Greatest Adventures, I didn't hear him say it. I think it's a very 90s thing. Run DMC. Run DMC, I didn't hear him say it. Like, that wasn't my introduction to hip hop. A bunch of fatherless niggas. Mine either. I'm thinking about the 90s. I'm thinking about from Biggie. I'm thinking about Ed O.G. I'm thinking about, I mean, actually everybody damn near, right? I feel like in the 90s people did. Ed O.G. is the first time I heard somebody say, hey, man. Do your shit. Be a dad. But I'm less thinking about the positive message. Because, again, the positive message becomes, like, didactic. And sometimes it's like, that's not the thing you want. I'm talking about just people telling their own experience. And the same niggas are talking about shooting people. The same niggas are talking about fucking all that shit. They also were saying, like, yo, my pop wasn't there. And it mattered. I think it mattered. So I'm saying in the same way that hip hop has an ability just culturally to impact how we think about fatherhood in a positive way, I don't want to, I can't give hip hop credit for that and not also hold hip hop accountable for ways that culturally we might be influenced by some other shit that's different, that's negative. Oh, no, you hold hip hop accountable. But, I mean, it's going to get heavy. It is. It's much bigger than hip hop. Why don't you do that? Because I think that shit is, like, so frowned upon right now. Like, niggas, oh, I don't hang with niggas that don't take care of their kids. And I do think hip hop has something to do with that. And I do think it has something to do with so many rappers in the 90s and 2000s talking about how they didn't have a dad and how that made them feel, letting other black men or men be able to express. It did hurt my feelings that I don't know my father. It does hurt my feelings that I can't have a conversation with my father and everybody say I look like him, Benny Siegel talking about his father. And I do think it matters, and it is taboo. And I think that hip hop has a part of that. That's a great point I never thought about. So I just want to think about it on both sides. That's all. Just, we got a chance to do something different. But I don't want to pick on, I don't want to beat this conversation. Listen, it's Fourth of July weekend, man. See your kids. Go outside and find your dad if he's lost. And turn your spin that shit on. I was about to say, and if you're at the cookout, you go ahead and spin that. A lot. The funny shit is, dad don't never be lost far away. He right there. He'll be back going to the park. No. He is not far. If you take a drive and just do like this. You go find your dad. Do you know how many people I know who don't know their dads, who don't fuck with their dads, or dads don't fuck with them, and they live like two by two? And the dad is right there. They right there. That's crazy. That was crazy to me. I always thought if you were abandoning your kids, you had to at least go to the other side of town. When I was going through whatever I went through with Trey's mom, that was the thing that was blowing my mind. It's like, we ain't going to go through all this shit, and I'm literally 15 minutes away. Wow. Like, why are we doing this? Anyway. Happy Fourth of July weekend. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depending on where you're listening from. If you're just tuning in, welcome. So glad you could join us.

Alright, Mona, we are going to talk a little sports. But it's Philadelphia sports, so. I know what happened, guys. Oh, for real? Yes, because I woke up and I saw the tweet that said who's dumber, Poosh, Ice-T, or the Celtics? Thanks. Oh, shit. And I researched it, and it means that we got that guy Jalen from the Celtics to come to us, right? Yes, you did. Jalen Brown. Yes, congratulations to us. It's a fact. Alright, I'm going to mute up and let the Philadelphia portion of this podcast do whatever the fuck they wanted to do. Well, no, it's real simple. Philly's back up. That's it, man. Put the word back out there, man. Put the word back out, right. We back up. We sent it to the group chat. We was hyped in. Jalen Brown just got traded to us for a very favorable deal. That's all I'll say. Good looking. Yo, man, it was a good look for Philly. Yo, big dog. He's so petty. He can't just sit. Man, let's go! Man, fuck all that sixer shit, nigga! He's still worried about the lack. Wait a minute! Back up! Back up! Back up! - What up, boy? What up, Scott? Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, wait a minute! - Look, they mad. I'm sorry. That was rude. That was rude. That was rude. I'm sorry. - But now, Jalen, first of all, y'all crumbling. - Mark, just go ahead. - Y'all crumbling. Did you see? Hey, Mark. Did you see my man on Instagram talking to OG? - No. - Yeah. Mitch was like, "Look, it ain't going the way y'all thought it was. I hope the truth comes out soon. You're crumbling." - I took that to mean the exact opposite of what you're saying. - No. - I took that to mean the Knicks, who I kind of been reading the TV. I don't really feel like they were the happiest with Mitch, and they're just trying to keep this down. They didn't want him. - That's cool. That's cool. Y'all can have one. - We don't care about the Knicks. We don't care about the Knicks. - You shouldn't. We ain't get our rings yet. Open at night. - All right, cool. - The jewelry stores is closed still. - That's fine, bro. That's fine. That's fine. - We traded for Jalen. - We did. - Got some big free agent signers. The team is looking good. And we one player away from a championship. - One more. One more. - And you know who he is. - You know it. Who is it? Come on. - LeBron James. - The king. - The king. - We are in-- - Oh, my God. - The king is coming. - We on the short list. - No, y'all are not. - We are on the short list. I done talked to my sources. - Mark don't have a backbone at all. - Are we going to get him, guys? - Mark is so spineless. - I am not spineless. - So you about to sit here and beg for LeBron to get to you. - Yes! - That's all you said about Bronny James. - I never said nothing about LeBron James. I'm not--I'm not begging for Bronny. Although I'll take for Bronny. - Senior, senior. - We got a spot for you, LeBron James, senior and junior. - I don't even know if LeBron is going to Philly after the stuff Jalen Brown had to say about Bronny being in the league. - They already squashed that. Don't worry about that. - See, you being messy trying to bring up old shit. - I see what you're trying to do. - Throw it out there and hope he hear it and don't come because you get nervous. - He loves Jalen Brown. - He going here. - And he loves Joel Embiid. And he loves Tyrese Maxson. He loves the squad. Rich Paul has pieces there. We are good. - We looking great. - But LeBron, listen to me. Listen to me. There are a lot of people out there that don't fuck with what you're doing right now. - That's a good point. - But we love you. We do. Philadelphia is the perfect city for you. You'll be a starter here. You'll be another champion here. - And we're going to treat you great. - Mona, break it down for them. Please explain to LeBron why he should come to Philly. - Cheese steaks, friendly people. - Very brotherly love. - Loyal fans, sisterly affection. - They don't know about sisterly affection. - Talk about it. Talk about it now. - We have a great Dune Day Festival. We have great barbers. - LeBron is a music head. - He loves rap. That's right. You could be local to your unhoused in a cypher that kills it. - You don't want to go to Cleveland. You don't want to go to Golden State. - You did that already. You did Cleveland already. - He treats you like shit. - You don't want to go to Golden State. East Coast. East Coast. - Feeling super clean. - Cleanest city on Earth. - You like Rocky? - Beautiful women. - The steps are good. - All right. All right. You guys, we got it. - We did our best. - We got it. Was that your pitch? - Yeah, I think it's going to work. - I think we sold it. - We got them. We got them. - I got something for the wife. Tell me when you tag me in. - What do y'all think about the Celtics handling of Jalen Brown? I don't want to spend a whole bunch of time warning you. - Shameful. - Terrible. - Boy, does it feel racist. - Ain't no feeling it. - I don't. It's two things happening. It's some behind the scenes shit with some player personnel shit that's interpersonal feels to me. I'm about the players, not even about management. I don't know who's right. I don't know who's wrong. But Jalen and somebody ain't clicking from what I'm hearing. I think that's part of it. Then the reports y'all talking about where they say he act like he's the smartest person in the room. - So stupid. - That started to feel. - Racist. - Yeah, that's the part that felt. - Very racist. - But I'm not sure that that's the biggest factor, but it's definitely the second biggest factor. - So you think it's some teammates. - Well, in totality, we two years removed from him being the finals MVP. We not even a few months removed from him turning them into the second seed with no Jason Tatum. I mean, his performance plus how he's being handled, it feels. That little he's the smartest person in the room shit, that feels disgusting. That's like when a guy says, "No, I can't fuck with her 'cause she's a hoe." It's like, that ain't why. That ain't. What does that have to do with anything? - Right. Right. That's my point. - He's the smartest person in the room. Like, what are we talking about? - He might be the smartest person in the room. - I was about to say, and yeah. - I hear he's brilliant. - Yeah, exactly. Like, had the NASA internship waiting for him, giving lectures at. What was it? MIT. Excuse me, I almost get the school wrong, but extremely smart person. - And I mean, a few other things to just throw in the mix. I was listening to Draymond Green's part. And he was talking about how it's really difficult to move a contract when the guy makes $70 million a year. - Yeah. - So I'm sure that has something to do with them wanting to get from under it. But my thing with that is, y'all are the ones that gave him the contract. - Right. - And you gave it to him not too long ago, which should have said what you thought of him. So to go from that to this in the span of. - You know them stat dorks, though, were saying like, you know, his numbers are empty calories, and that to make 70 million, you need to be a generational kind of talent, and he's not that. That's what the stat nerds are saying. And they're saying that he's kind of underplayed his contract despite his great numbers. - But the stat nerds are ruining a lot of different fields. - Yes, yes. - I mean, it's not just music. It's sports. They out there. we got eyes we know what Jalen Brown is and what he does so for him to get to the Sixers along with Anthony Simmons who I like a lot or is it Simons I don't know I'm bad with names but I like him a lot listen Philly's putting some stuff together yeah and we got out of some bad deals they got our third string center they got Hook Porty champion he can go over there and teach y'all what it's like to get past the semifinals get past the conference finals so can LeBron James well LeBron James is not there he's on his way no he's not I'm tracking the plane he's on the way yes we've been hoping he's coming when else do men beg like this you niggas gonna beg for LeBron yes why don't we get sports beg shameless we beg we beg in sports what a bunch of bitches whatever alright he's saying that because they just won Jalen Brown you got to the right city Philly is on exactly what you want yeah black smart Muslim he perfect for Philly he's Muslim yeah boy he actually fast during the season they already got your spot at the men's gym and Paul George don't you worry you gonna hear all the nigger boys you gonna hear all the racial slurs no he not yes he is no he not yes he is he ain't gonna be he's being a tar cat he gonna play Paul George gonna play a couple games I feel bad for Paul George that it's always his name attached to the worst possible trade ever in the history of the NBA it's been happening about three or four times they said he's the most valuable trade piece in NBA history when you look at all the people who've been traded for him would have to be from OKC yeah it's been insane another piece is the Lakers they've made some moves snow time snow time I have never seen a team that white post Jim Crow yeah not since Jim Crow not since my people could vote have I seen them put together a team with that many white starters who was supposed to be the anchor of the team they look like the old school Duke team yeah they should look crazy looking like that which was only a surprise to Stephen A. Smith I never thought that Luka was going into the executive suite to say hey bring in some blacks see I never felt like that I don't even see him dap nobody black at all nothing about Luka it's just him in yoga yeah it's him in yoga the whole time give me some white boys do y'all feel the way that Stephen A. said like you can't win with this many white people no see I do I don't like that shit oh Mark didn't we say no more activism this isn't activism it is you activism in for the whites no I'm saying you can win with the white people just give me the right whites yeah it ain't a political issue I'm saying you get the right three white people you can win that's not true white men can't jump you don't think you can win with Luka and Jokic and that ain't that though no that's my point they got the wrong whites that's what I'm saying you can't they can't win well they don't have hardly much more money to go get the whites that you talking about and they don't have any draft picks for the next seven years to go get some of the whites you talking about in a black sport you do need blacks black people I know Elon Musk is going to hate to hear that but you're going to need some and you're saying can you win with the right whites I'm sure you could if you get to the perfect ones yeah these whites chances of that are very slim it's tough they kept Vanderbilt though and they got Colin Sexton so there's two blacks has this ever happened before tokens tokens it's the wrong city you know it's also the wrong city to have many white people Boston sure Utah Minnesota even maybe but you can't just walk around LA with a whole team full of whites you can't do that it's bad for business too much LA history it's bad for business it's bad for the image of LA yeah it's perfect for Boston back to Boston for a quick second I was reading something that said part of the Jalen Brown debacle that's not being discussed is how private equity is not being discussed is taking over sports and these are the decisions that come about when private equity is running things yeah they said so a couple years ago the P.E. niggas come in they take control of the Celtics which is them wanting to shed salary they said that they also have a 10% stake in the Spurs the same P.E. firm oh wow that's not okay which should be a total it should be a it should be a I want me to find it I'll find it how the fuck can you do that apparently yeah it must be some kind of loophole but I don't like it yeah I don't like that I don't like that at all talking about can we do that when we got Malik Beasley out here running amok stealing the ball from his own teammates NBA niggas is betting association that's good let me see I think I have this clip let's see Jalen Brown wasn't traded because of bad love with the team but because the owner of the Celtics doesn't really own the Celtics Jalen is the latest victim of private equity in pro sports and I promise you it's only getting worse from here last year when the Celtics sold the Bill Chisholm and his P.E. backers for 6.1 billion dollars we all kind of saw this coming the deal was actually illegal from the jump here's my friend June Lee to explain 6th Street puts in more money than Chisholm a structure that violated the NBA's rules on how much private equity can own for an NBA team despite that Celtics publicly announced the sale anyway with Chisholm as the lead buyer that public announcement helped Chisholm raise money from other investors allowing him to reduce 6th Street's percentage after the fact essentially Bill is more puppet than owner 6th Street has the real power which allows him to run the standard P.E. playbook think about the Celtics like Jersey Mike's which also sold the private equity over the last few years we all noticed the subs have a little bit less meat but they're still good enough to buy that's the idea behind the Jalen Brown trade sure he's a superstar in the middle of his prime but he's expensive and only getting more expensive on his next contract will the team be as good with Paul George of course not but they'll still be competitive in the east and the fans are still you get the point oh ok Jersey Mike's he brings up a good point I noticed what y'all are doing now I paid an extra $1.79 for extra meat but that just get Paul but that just gives you the meat that you got before the normal year yeah Jersey this is why Jersey's can't be trusted for food fucking Jersey Mike's who would eat at a place called Jersey fucking Mike's I love a Jersey Mike's Mark you built your home in New Jersey you found the love of your life you are a New Jersey New Jersey embraced you I met her in Philly actually after CNN treated you horrible but you're a New Jersey you asked her where she was from she told you Jersey and you came right over yeah and then you moved you didn't make her move to Philly like a real nigga would that's what we did we stayed there for two years oh really in Philly yeah that's where we was North at that and then it was time it went down she said enough of that people kept stealing our food off the porch it was like alright she's like enough of that yeah once she saw me chase that homeless dude down the street for that sandwich she was done next season in the NBA is going to be absolute cinema I can't wait for the Christmas games to be announced I can't wait for opening night opening night to be announced anything Sixers Celtics is going to be cinema I cannot wait to see it he's going to try to kill fucking Tatum and the boys oh yeah that was a nasty trade I want to say that we ain't felt a trade nasty like that in a while but the Luca trade wasn't too long ago yeah but not straight not to your like your division rival that's almost disrespectful to us when you do that it's disrespectful we think you ain't shit we're going to trade you to a division rival we're going right there I mean y'all are in the division yeah yeah and now we're a rival I don't think nobody is viewing y'all like a rival to the Celtics we are better than the Celtics right now and you want LeBron away from being the best team in the East oh please please the game is not played on paper the game is not played on paper you do not know that you're better than the second seed Celtics you don't know that we just beat them we just sent them home are you high we just beat them in the playoffs put them out and now we took their best player how are we not better well they were injured and that's not their best player he was the best player in the playoffs yes this year yes yes I think it's fair to say if you beat the team you're better than them fair yes so we just beat them put them out the playoffs beat them at full strength beat them at full strength we just like we did last year we just y'all ask Huck Porter ask Huck Porter he's been there a little while he can explain to you I hate him this is going to feel so much better when we beat y'all next year I can't wait I can't wait you can get us back you can't wait you've been waiting since 1983 y'all can wait it's been a while right it wasn't 82-8 it wasn't 83 was that Moses Malone in them who was on that

Fuck is Jack Harlow on right now? Somewhere in that hat. Yeah. That next album, don't do that. Don't come out with that black music dressed like Sean Wayans again. I ain't doing that shit no more. Burn them fucking hats. That shit ain't work. At all. That nigga look like he got dressed from a wardrobe from Love Jones. And I just know he was fucking a black girl that endorsed that shit. That's what got him dressing like that. That's the part. That crystal using waist bead wearing bitch. Yes, yeah. Now you're talking. I would have rather had that nigga in a bust down and some big sneaks. That's where I would have took him. Because he would have blended in a little bit. Now you got this nigga walking out here looking like D'Angelo. He look crazy. Yeah, he giving comment. And he look crazy too light skinned for that comment, Bobby. He couldn't pull it off. Speaking of big sneaks, random question. How much money y'all think that that thick Alexander McQueen sneaker made when they had this run? Oh my fucking God. Like if you had to guess how much money you think that that sneaker made for Alexander McQueen? Which one had a bigger flag? They were both. Because the Balenciagas went crazy during that free money era. I was about to say I think the Balenciagas did. Yeah, in our area it was Balenciagas. Those were PPPs. Which Balenciaga you talking about? The big chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky one? That chunky, chunky that came out in 2021. I thought you were talking about the sock one. I thought you were talking about the sock. Not the sock. The chunky one ain't standing in the same room as that McQueen. The sock go in there with that one. Remember, that's the prime baby shower sneak too. The McQueen. Yeah, so yeah, the McQueen had to make a difference. The McQueen is court sneaker. That McQueen was damn good like a Timberland. You just couldn't ask you what they did. Sidebar, guys, Max B got caught in Harlem with someone. I saw it. They wore his ass out. They tore him up. They wore his old ass out. Then he had his sweater tied around his neck. I saw it. Oh, he put a Sunday best on with a McQueen. I act like I ain't see it. They dragged that bitch. Everybody, that's all. You know, he's fresh out of jail. That's going to happen. Ah, Mark, last part you asked me who was cool. Because, yes. We were talking more rap. I know, but now I just keep thinking of motherfuckers that's cool. He's effortlessly cool. Baby Face is the opinion. Let me tell you how cool Baby Face is. Baby Face went to go do the Cadillac Chronicles. I watched it. He killed it. I love that show. L.A. Reid back on the drum machine. Knock it off. I was like, damn. Damn. This nigga Baby Face is in a Cadillac with the deal. Yes. And the whispers and John B. Singing. You hear this shit? Listen to the deal dude still trying to steal the show from Baby Face too after all these years. Oh, let's go Baby Face. Hey. These niggas is in a car. They cool it. Look, shade door like this. Look, Mona. This is live. That shit don't make no sense. Look, these niggas got the guitar in the Cadillac. Hey, nah, dog. Come on. What I wouldn't have gave to be in that Cadillac. They smoked that Cadillac Chronicles. Yeah, the whole deal out there is silk. We haven't ever seen Baby Face sweat or look weird or crazy. He has all that food. Not a once in life. Not a once in life. Most she might give you is a chuckle. Even when he gave the ladies all them hate these niggas anthems. Yeah. I want to interview Baby Face to talk to him about that. Them records. The psychology behind being able to make I hate this nigga anthems as a man. Him and Ne-Yo. That's Ne-Yo. I was just with Ne-Yo. Yeah. I was the other one. How do you think that? Now, Ne-Yo is like child's play to me. He just said what you said to him? Yeah, Ne-Yo is like when you're mad you look good. Like, what's the Baby Face? Ne-Yo, right. Like, irreplaceable? Yeah, he did the to the left, to the left shit. Yeah. I'm talking about Baby Face write women's anthems. That's a good point. Well, there's a discrepancy with that. We don't know how much of what wrote what. Oh, got it. Okay. But he's on there. He's on there. But what are some other Ne-Yo big breakup joints? I just don't think he belongs in that. Baby Face is Baby Face made people divorce. And I think that's interesting as a dude. Like, love shit and divorce your home. Like, what are you talking about? Why would you say that as a man? Love shit and divorce He wrote Take a Bow, too. I was trying to think. I think he wrote Take a Bow. Yeah, he wrote Take a Bow. The Rihanna joint. That's another. No, bitch is just like Rihanna. We wasn't breaking up over it. If a bitch went on and broke up with you over Take a Bow, nigga, she did you a favor. You'd been out the door anyway, bro. The song had nothing to do with that. Take a Bow. Just happened to come on on the way home. Yo, I heard you finally saw Obsession. Oh, boy. Because me and Parks have talked about it. We saw it. I got killed for saying it was trash. So I heard you finally saw it and I need to know what you think about it. Dog. Let me tell you what I think of Obsession. Spectrum content. Yo, so I'm in the crib fucking staring at my family. Which day was this? It's hour 34. It's hour 34. No, for real. I'm in the crib so in love. Right? Just staring at my family. Sure. I said, all right, let me turn on Apple TV. Let me see it. Get the search in. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Hey, movie. I'm dying to see this. Yo, yo, yo, yo. I said, yo, I know it's a movie that I just ain't seen on here. Yo, it gotta be. Please. So I turn on the Apple TV and the first thing that pops up is Obsession. I looked at my baby. Hey, look. A movie. Look. She said, hey, come on, let's turn. I said, hey, yes. Let's turn it on. I ain't even watch a trailer or nothing. Okay. I just hit play and I felt like Obsession made its way to Apple TV kind of soon. I purchased it. Quick. Available for purchase. Yeah. It's available for rent later in the month but I purchased it and I still thought that was kind of fast. It is. It happens quicker now. It's very quick. It's not unique to Obsession. Yeah, like the Michael Jackson movie's out already. Yeah. I was like, damn. So we press play and it's early enough in the day to where I'm not falling asleep. So I'm going to watch this. Sorry. I'm going to look at this. Sorry to hear that. This is the dumbest movie that I've ever fucking seen. This is one of the worst movies and I know that my audience is sick of hearing me say something about movies being the worst. But y'all, Parks came on in and said that this movie was the worst and I saw some of y'all out there kill him for his take. We trashed this movie. We did. So this is why I'm killing this movie from the rip. Dude, come on and is a loser. Boy, oh boy. He's a loser. He drops the girl off to her house and this is the problem. This is problem number one which is the overarching problem with this movie. He bought a little wish thing to make a wish and he wished that the girl would like him. However, the girl already liked him. Seemingly, yeah. Wasn't no seemingly about it. Me and my girl, we had a five minute fight about it and she done dropped 90 hits. She did. She did, she did. Hey, she said, hey, do you like our friend? Do you like my friend, Nancy? Or whatever the fuck the girl. Do you like Nancy? He's like, no. The fuck is, nah, she's cool. She's like, all right, are you sure? Okay, all right. She's trying to give him some push. Do you want to come in? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, the night is young. He's like, oh no, I'm fine. Why don't you just go? But anyway, she's like, are you sure that we can't do anything together? I'm like, oh shit, she likes him. Bro is the worst actor. She likes this guy. All the time, too. Horrible. So then he breaks the thing and now she turns into whatever the fuck she turns into and now this becomes the worst movie in the world for the next hour and a half. I was 45 minutes in and I was like, I thought it was like 10 minutes. I thought we was in the beginning, still. This shit was a wreck. But I stayed long enough to get a good laugh at the end. 'Cause I got to get some good laughs at the end. When the psycho bitch came out and banged a friend's head against the steering wheel. On the steering wheel? Yeah. Bam, bam, bam. Come on, dawg. Because by this point, the movie's so corny that I'm like fucking Malik Beasley trying to get that rebound. And then I'm like, nah. Give me some. Give me some. Just give me some. So they sitting there talking and she in the car. I'm like, I tell you, oh, y'all about to die. Y'all about to die. Not y'all. Yeah, not y'all. Not y'all, yeah. That girl came right out, broke the one eye. Bang, bang, bang. Then the funny part, then walked to the other side of the car and gave him a hug. Oh, baby, I love you. Oh, this movie is dumb. Oh, the kickback that they went to. That's bad. The kickback that they went to, that was the worst kickback ever. Everything about this shit was ass. Bro, we seen too many good movies based off of this somebody falling in love and stalking fatal attractions. We've seen this. This was a bad version of-- It was. If she wasn't attractive, that movie, no one would pay any attention to that. Right. Well, she wasn't attractive as they showed her as like half a skeleton. and beat up in blood and bitch done duct taped the door like the bitch and that was the other thing duct taped the door was pretty funny but that's my door like I asked her hey who house they in at some point this movie's so bad I'm like wait is this his crib just put the bitch out yeah they never really got into them just living together now bitch no you have to go you gotta go you're just gonna listen theoretically yeah that movie was so bad that movie was a mess it was bad it had the nerve to be fucking half a long but that movie was absolutely atrocious whatever speaking of love though see we had two people climb the Empire State Building in the name of love that's fucking love that's love what did the fucking sign say some shit about love sorry for the dookie what was your by the time I saw it it said Joe's part of the month what I think that is the one I saw that's the one I didn't know what the fuck it was hey by the time I saw it the internet changed that sign to say everything I saw a cheese it's ad yeah it was originally the Jimi Hendrix quote right it was when the power of love replaces the love of power that's it that's Jimi Hendrix that was from Jimi Hendrix yeah man if he wanted to he will that was lit that was beautiful who fucking could top that who wants to word it's some some fuckers that shit is lit though it's lit though it's lit it's lit once I realized it was a proposal cause I'm like oh you stupid ass motherfuckers up here and it's also content right and they're fire yeah

watching a fat white in immense heat wasn't a good match no trying to put an AC in the Ferrari and shit why don't you get in this yourself anyway you don't do shit for yourself why were you doing this for yourself anyway I wasn't doing it for myself why were you at Lowe's no I'm doing this so my girl could cook no we're missing a point my girl could get on the grill I'm leaving it alone what happened I think we got the house yeah that's all that's all that's all I didn't want to be what I said I'm like Joey never told a story where he had to do it at Lowe's he'll sit so to go to Lowe's he must do it I'm out of stories they're all in the same place and what he didn't tell you he went to Home Depot first but they ain't happy right so I had to go to Lowe's yo the funny shit I'm going to say this and then I'm moving on because fuck y'all but before I leave because I'm going to get a haircut so I'm like alright I get the house wait wait wait you went to get a haircut then he used to I thought he came to the place the barber come to your crib I have two barbers and this was the time when you need to go out yeah it's not like I go out once the man comes to the house did this happen

I'm going to Restoration Hall where all this this nigga look me in the eye and say yo I'm down I need to get away from these girls I'm like yo yo nigga these bitch your bitch these motherfuckers anyway man what else needs all that shit Coco Jones Coco Jones which car did you take to put this shit in though that's my real question oh so oh okay that makes sense so you know I took my oh that's funny sorry alright so Coco Jones friend of the show even though I'm not even though she hasn't been to the show but when I go to the next games when they play the cast Donovan Mitchell give me a little salute so she's a friend of the show Coco Jones went on live to talk about some of the struggles she's been having as an artist I thought it was so honest and transparent and good to hear that I wanted to come in here and play it for you guys to see what y'all thought but this was just refreshing to me to hear in real time somebody who's by all accounts kind of lit right talk about some of the hurdles that they have in trouble with here she is Coco Jones I never came into this game knowing exactly like what I do like I knew I could sing my ass off like that was pretty clear that was kind of like the only consistent but like I didn't really have like a thing you know I don't think I really have like a thing personality sure like relatable this is so honest anyway like I don't know I don't think I really I think that is biting me in the ass right now like with this album um I feel like the reception that I'm getting out in the world is like confusion obviously I get that because in the inner world it's confusion not specifically about like what I stand for what I'm trying to talk about things of that nature but really more like how does it sound how is it supposed to sound what is the sound I'm so drained actually I'm so drained of this process of like trying to figure this shit out this is so dope to me it is cause it is a draining process if you do it the thing with me is like dang she's almost there it's like I it's like dang she's almost there it's like almost clicking like what the hell is the almost and why is there always an almost how long is there gonna be the almost I feel like we're at the final hour of all of this almost shit it either has to click or it's gonna be over I'll always be like damn what could've been that ain't it it's like dang I'm confused about what the confusion is I thought her uh her her sound and brand was kind of traditional R&B yeah but this new album isn't maybe I haven't heard the new album but I think there's a part that she might not be understanding is I don't think a lot of the confusion necessarily is her for the new album you did the album with Timbaland no no no not Coco not Coco Jones you're thinking of Chloe who I owe an apology to cause I called that album trash but it wasn't an album it was a mixtape and I would never call it a mixtape trash that's for a different purpose they did the track that's right that's my mistake I'm sorry alright yeah I've never thought that her branding was off but maybe I haven't heard the new album or any of the new music I haven't heard the new one has she been experimenting with like a different sound never heard it trying to find some of the records yeah this is her new album let me see actually that might not be her new album let me just see so I can make sure what her new album is I bought it whatever it is Coco Jones I think all the shit she's talking about is extremely important for any artist though like you should figure out what you want to look like sound like brand your brand alright here's her new album yes and this is from 2024 Coco Jones Why Not More and this is track Two Taste track three on site and I didn't bring this up to get this make this a whole let's play Coco Jones playlist of music I just thought what she said was so refreshing to hear because it was so honest and you don't hear artists that honest yeah oh I like this song wanna lay with you ♪ All night and night ♪ And the thing about music, right? Like, what do we know about Coco Jones? Not a thing. Not a thing. Not a thing outside of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Right. Donovan Mitchell. The Disney Channel stuff. And her first big, big, big, big single that fucking took over everything. That's all we know. And I kind of feel like that's part of what she's addressing. You know what happens? Because, like I said, I mixed her up with Khloe. But with Coco Jones, prior to Bel-Air and all of that, her going viral with the covers is what introduced people to her. The downside to that is you're covering songs that are already existing. So it's not you. So, like she said, yeah, I could sing. But it's like if she had a single that put her on the map right then and there, people would kind of attach to that. All right, we know a little bit about you. If you're doing cover songs, it's a song we already know. So all you're just showing is you can sing. It's not your words. Not your, you get what I'm saying? So that makes people hard to identify with who you are. And to your point, and then when you follow up covers with your music and it sounds like older woman music. Yeah, okay. There's a younger person with a strong, unique vocal, but the music sounds a lot older. See, I'll tell you. What this all actually says to me now that we're talking it through a little bit is the departure of A&R and true artist development and production at a record label. Because this model of her is the model of R&B songstresses that we grew up with from shit. The 50s, Motown, all that shit through now. Whereas now the artist is more dependent for them kind of to be their own brand and do their own marketing and have their own shit. That's kind of the model. Labels don't really do as much A&R. A&R and production and artist development. You're kind of expected to come in with a fan base. Go get high and then we come and attach to you. And expected to come in and know what your brand is. And that's what it sounds like. She didn't have that part. And now you had the fans, you had followers, because sometimes they're just looking at numbers. Yes. But it wasn't a specific brand. Right. So without that, now the label go grab you. What are we attached to? Also, you bring up the point about these A&Rs. A&Rs and development, right? I'm going to include in that, I'm going to include producers in that. And songwriters, for sure. Both. She needs a producer, someone to come in and produce her. Yes. Not just give a song, not just a song reference or just a hot beat. You, not just the song we're creating. You need production from somebody. Somebody that knows how to do that. And that isn't just production. It's like sitting down and just kind of kicking it with you for a while, knowing who you are as a person, what's important to you, what you like, what you don't like, in life and musically. All of that's kind of part of it. It is, but not if you are not telling that producer what those things are. Like she said, I don't have a problem with knowing who I am as far as my character and my morals and my principles. But when we get into the song, there's something that's not connecting. For me, sit with somebody and speak to them. Who gives a fuck, too. There you go. About your likes, your dislikes, where you want to go, your first breakup, your happiness in your relationship. You just need to give somebody a full download that knows how to produce. If she did that with Jermaine Dupri, he wouldn't let you come back with whatever you had before. And I don't say put Coco Jones with Jermaine Dupri. I say get her with like K-1. Okay. Okay. Some of the younger girls with a younger sound, not just in the beat, but the vocals. Go get with a fucking Money Long. Go get with people that can listen to you, hear you, and then go put it in a song in a way that will connect with the people that you're looking to connect to. It sounds like she's just with some people that's bringing in songs. Yeah, she's got producers on here. I was going to say Stargates on here, Cardiac. There's a bunch of people that we love on this album. Yeah, but that's. See, that says to me that there's money behind her. Yes. That was going to be my question. That don't say to me that those people are tasked with producing her. Agreed. Yeah, no. It sounds like they got songs from songwriting camps, essentially. Most likely. She can sing. We'll go get the song. We'll go get the beat over here. Right. Give it to you. Or even if you write some of your stuff. But it's not, like Joe was saying, somebody sitting down figuring out who you are and let's. Put that out there. And some of this goes back to analytic shit. The label's probably like, this songwriter wrote XYZ and this sold XYZ copies. This is the producer that did XYZ and XYZ. And if we put it with you and get this mixer, then it'll be a successful product as opposed to building real rapport. And the other thing is finding out what she wants. What does success to her mean? That too. What are you here for? What are you trying to get? Because the label's idea of success and yours can be two totally different things. Label happy as shit because you did this right here. You're like, yo, my music's not connecting. Right. See, like, this was her single and it worked. But this is an older sounding bop. Which I think is okay, by the way. Like, I think you could do the older bop. Man, give this shit to Baby Rose. But it worked. But the problem is. You just gotta, she's gotta lean into that, though. This is the problem. And I used to always say this when, like, I used to have fights with my production company about the record they wanted me to do. Versus whatever record I wanted to do. And they would be like, yo, just give it a shot. Just give it a shot. Give this record a shot. And I'm like, it's not as simple as just giving it a shot. Because what if it works? Right. Yeah. You know what? Then. I'm stuck to that now. I don't have an audience for who I am. Right. I don't have an audience for what I want to do. And I won't get one. They don't even know the type of song I want to make. Because this one worked. It worked. Right. And if this one worked, I can't come back. I can't come right behind it and be me. Because now, when one works, we are now in the business of getting shit got to work. Now, that also does get really complicated. Because sometimes artists can be a little too closed off to ideas and pigeonholed. Where maybe they're like, I don't like guitars in the beat or something. And it's like, that has nothing to do with the beat. Like, you have to be open-minded. But you also have to. You're right in not pigeonholing yourself into something that you can't deliver over and over again. Because you don't really like it. But you also have to be open to having producers. Producers steer you. It's a really delicate balance. Yeah. And the thing is, you can like some shit that's not you, right? Like, I'm not saying. Like, she might have liked this record. But now, when I listen to what she's saying, I just don't know if this record was authentic to her. I don't know how many relationships you've been in, how many breakups you've been in, how many. Like, this record sounds like a lady that has been put through the relationship gambit. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So, I don't know. I think a really important part of artistry is. Is being true to self. Which, I guess, comes easy when you know what that means. Yeah. If I'm Coco Jones or anybody. Any other artist out there struggling with that, before you need to be heard and before you start putting records out and mixtapes or EPs, go figure that out first. Or be willing to be a character. Because that's another option, too. There's plenty of artists that just. Hey, I'm whoever. Billie Eilish, the human being. But when I'm Billie Eilish, the singer, I'm making weird, dark music about. Whatever. Right. Or whoever you may be. Like, it may not be. They don't necessarily have to coexist. Yeah. Everything doesn't have to be autobiographical. Yeah, that's probably just not going to go for her. Yeah. Because her voice. There's so much texture to her voice that her team, the people behind her, have to figure out the story that her instrument is already telling. Which is probably why they keep trying to give her these older lady songs. Right. Because her voice has this feel to it where it seems like. That's the story it should be telling. And we don't necessarily know that. That might not be her story. Coco Jones, we love you up here. We do. We absolutely love you up here. I'm going to play this fucking suave mashup of yours that I love. Because this is the vibe that you should be on. Oh, what happened? She went viral singing in the ring last year, remember? It started raining on her live performance. That bitch shung it like a music video. It's a bad bitch. I'm curious what the solos that she was covering were that kind of. Blew her up in the first place. Were they older sounding or were they younger sounding? Because that might have something to do with it too. Maybe she was always attracted to older soul kind of shit. Yeah, but does that mean that's what you should produce? No, maybe, but maybe not. I wish her the best. I think she'll get it together too. I think so too. Immensely talented. She's too talented. There you go. There you go. Let me stop, because I'll get to fucking gyrate and shit. That's my song. I love that song. Pause for gyrate. She did Pick Up Your Feelings, Damage, Go Crazy, Back to Sleep, Best Part, Heartbreak Anniversary, Can We Talk, Prototype, Leave the Door Open, Get You. Hmm. Yeah, those are her. Again. Scissor. How do I see what you are if. Yeah. And if people became fans of this. this, they don't know you. - Right, it's not like all those things have a common thread exactly they're all over the place so that's what makes it makes it harder yeah um what else what else what else what else is going on out there uh godfather of harlem uh two two hour series finale i have completely forgotten about that show well because they shoot every other four years okay that that's why so but the new season started no the season is over that's it was all types of complications they they remember they came they came to our series finale yes the series is essentially over okay however paramount or mgm whatever one plus it is mgm mgm purchased one more episode to wrap up the entire series oh i like that i like it too i think it's a great idea i think more of a movie they basically give us a i mean yeah you can call it you could call it that oh yeah i like that i like two hour movie is the series finale fire no word of when that is coming but i just think that's a dope idea very fire end it get it out the way yep and we ain't gotta drag it out give it to you in one clip and that'd be the end of it that i will find you shit it's pretty fire by the way started i'm gonna lock in it's it's good so far yeah i'll be cutting it on and then doing shit and i'm not paying attention to the next scene i gotta stop it so i got some heavy hitters in that motherfucking yeah yeah i'm on episode three and it's good you're in there you know it's really good yeah i'll finish it in a couple check it out um let's see what else what else what else what else i'm kind of shaken and shocked why bro what's up we'll get to the as a swifty i i that's a whole other thing got it but little wayne didn't show up to his first uh tour date oh man if there was just some way to did you have tickets oh yeah you were going to maine that one threw me that one that one threw me why maine oh just i'm not nothing against maine but this is like if you're going to show somewhere that's probably the place to do it you're going to show in mass square garden no you're not gonna do that he's on tour uh carter classics i think the name of the tour is it's him two chains and game oh shit but there's game and two chains are splitting dates okay you know but um yeah they just announced after like 11 something he's not coming what on the first night of your tour that's what's crazy to me like you do that on night one and it's also after a string and i love lowane huge lowane fan it's just there's been this wave of like i'm being wrongfully treated in the industry i don't get the big events i don't get the super bowl i don't get the this i don't get the awards i don't get the credit and a lot of the people who said we love you but dot dot dot this was the dot dot dot yeah it was the shit like this happens no we heard shit about the grammys where it's like yo you don't show up and you know it's just like you we can't really depend can't bank on you bro yeah can't bank on you yeah what do you think joe 10 more seconds before i come in with a cape for wayne really is it the cape that you left in the closet for jay electronica mark i'm never caping for jay electronica well you should and the funny shit about the way shit is you missed that show but you showed up the next night at the white party at michael rubens yes what that's awkward that's awkward we're not missing the white party now some talents people in that room there were there were a lot of networking for sure a lot of niggas cancel concerts every day they cancel shows we're talking about a hit your your head you're on this is like a 30 city tour people cancel shows when they're on tour freeze no they do that a lot sales you know they do all that yeah somebody might have came to him it was like first of all you said i'm shocked that maine was the first one yeah not me neither yeah really yeah voting wise you gotta you gotta sweep the country on some level of course but you start start there and move your way down out bane is a i don't know what kind of uh mark wayne market there is out there but i'm sure wayne has something logistically it would make sense to you're not gonna start in the middle of chicago or something like i just but joe i mean also you did say just a couple weeks ago how unprofessional it was and fucked up it is to just ghost it's not that he's it's not that he canceled people cancel life happens they issue something ahead of time yeah you're using this you go on instagram even and say hey sorry and just make up anything i got a party to get to the unforeseen circumstances right something but i'm not against someone not handling that the right way once like now if this is a repeated behavior for wayne on tour i'm gonna come in here and kill him okay my point with jay electronica wasn't that it happened once who can't shit happens my point is that now it looks like there's a pattern and there's a behavior that you're ignoring and now you jamming people up if you did that for the last five cities and now like that's starting to become a thing but i'm not mad at wayne missing one like somebody might have came to yo the ticket sales ain't where we wanted to be and on the low on low on the low don't tell nobody that these talks happen but they'd be like it's maine like that was said yeah that was said yo we can miss one maine we'll jump back in and we'll see that much like if you're gonna miss one may probably be the one i would miss if i was on thing but i just hate for the time i drove six hours to see this well he immediately announced the makeup date okay like immediately it didn't linger he said hey i'm making this date up july 28th or whatever the date is and like the white party was the next day but he booked this main ship most of them white party niggas flew there on a private jet or the helicopter anyway he could have gotten here like he could have made it there i'm not gonna correlate one with the other no no no i'm not i wasn't saying you skipped that's just coincidence that that's just when a coincidence line up you i wasn't saying canceling the main or the party i'm saying so the injury yes that's what i'm saying no that's god being good because that was a fan i know you ain't sick no that's all right that's allah being great that cape is silk made out of silk in the finest threads baby i'm saying that is allah's greatness maine is canceled and i got this fanatics party the next day it's about to be lit i'm going sound like a weekend to me that want to kill

that's trying to come get you. I've been attacked by enough dogs. They won't maul you. Everybody always tells me that, and then their dogs maul me. Perks, what's the dog's name? Don't worry about him, bite. He don't bite. I got a chunk of, my hip still has huge chunks missing out of it. Perks, I watched videos of this damn dog for four hours. It's called the, I can't pronounce it, but this nigga can climb up walls. This motherfucker can send an email. This nigga. He's so talented. You know what I'm talking about? Say the funny word. It's hard to pronounce. But the dog can't get rid of it by the ball. Oh, that dog. You had to get rid of that dog. That motherfucker sent an email. They motherfuckers, they bilingual. These humans that have the urge to go get the exotic dog that's forbidden in areas where people live. These niggas be on the line, oh, my $30,000 dog. This dog used to kill people in Egypt. But I got him. But I got him. I got him right here. Don't come near him. He ain't used to people yet. This is crazy. I appreciate that person didn't, yo, he don't bite. Yo, don't worry about him. He just loud. He just big. He just weigh 300 pounds. But he all right. Yeah, just don't make no sudden moves. Yeah, yeah. Everything that's happening right there. Yo, it's called the Belgian Malnoy. That's what it's called. A Belgian Malnoy. It's called the state of the fuck away from ice. I'm telling y'all. I'm telling y'all. We were having a conversation. We were having a regular corny old would you rather bear shark. Oh, the bear? Oh. I was like, the wrong dog I will take above any of them animals. Yeah. Hmm. Back to the sharks. Y'all out there, Jones Beach, Long Island Beach. They already put the note out. I'm going to tell you in case you're listening. They have spotted sharks. Again. The mean cat. A whole shark. No, no, no, no. It's been about maybe three, four years of this every summer now. So y'all go out there and play in them waters if y'all want to. I saw a story. And the headline was meant to grab your attention. It was like, lady mauled and eaten alive by alligator as her boyfriend tries to rip her from the mouth of the huge beast. And so I'm reading that. I'm like, oh my God. I can't imagine. How does this happen? And I begin to read like Mark suggested. They say, the white people went to the swamp. Swamp. Oh, okay. Got it. Problem one. Was swimming in the swamp. Oh. Problem two. A few seconds. And they're not a swamp, but some lake where all of the alligators are. They said 20 seconds, a few minutes earlier, they were just making jokes about being on lookout for the air bubbles. Bruh. And they were walking. They were able to stand in this when this alligator jumped up and clamped on the shorty doo-wop. And do what alligators do. Right. Yeah. Every time they're in that big opportunity, they do that. Do that. Which led to my baby asking me if I think that alligators are in the Hudson. No, they're not. No. Listen to humans. Thinking y'all know. How y'all know that? And then because of global warming. Because they shouldn't be there, right? It's the climate. That's the same thing I said at first. They're not in there. Not a one. It wouldn't last very long if there was. You never know. They're cold-blooded. I'm not saying what the alligators are. They would die in the wintertime very quickly. Yeah. I'm saying the climate. So there could be one that someone released today that would last through August, maybe, but probably not. Once it gets cold. A shark or some shit will probably eat it. Hmm. It's possible. I think that there's something under there that. And I wouldn't get in there. There's pollution. Imagine getting in water and you tell your friend, hey, watch out for the air bubbles. And they go, you bet. Right. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I'm not getting in no pond in Florida. A Floridian is so used to seeing an alligator cool, but you still know you can't beat it. You can't beat this nigga, right? Well, them shits come up off the. Like, motherfuckers be having alligators in they backyard and they pool. I know. That's why out there in Florida, they gotta have the tents over the backyards and shit. That's where the alligator gotta catch me at in my yard, baby. I ain't cool in the swamp. You can't just walk out there by that water. I was giving so many props to the boyfriend because, wow, you seen the alligator attacking your queen and you went to hell. Yeah, you brave, boy. Yeah, you're a real one. You did that. You did that shit. You're a real one. I ain't going home. Yeah, that's all. That's a lot. Yeah. An alligator? Damn. The thing is, you're not opening his mouth. Because no child should afford to lose both parents in the same instant. Not to mention, who can do the funeral stuff if we both go? Somebody gotta. Like, they don't know that you don't want to wear polka dots. The only ill part is if you don't help and they survive. Oh. Because now you. No, no. I prayed. No luck on that. The power of prayer. I prayed. That's why you survived. I held it down. You're welcome. Yeah, that was me. That was me. My God. Yo, speaking of, you didn't even tell us how it went, your beach day with the. With the family? Yeah. Oh, we're great. I saw your Stanley Cups. Oh, yeah, yeah. We was. What was in them? That shit. Yeah, because they searched the coolers and shit, so you can't take bottles. Oh, what the fuck? Guys, Ice went to the beach with his girl and his daughter's mom, for the people that weren't here and have no idea what we're talking about. Oh, and the kids. And all the kids. Some boy and a girl. Oh, yeah, because there's a boy. Yes, yes. Here you go. No, it wasn't great. We had a great time. That's for sure. You know, they. Like I told y'all before, we all won the unit. They get along great, so they. I love the way you managed to blend this and make it good. There's no. Nothing. Like, everything was fine. I couldn't have had a better day. We went. We all went out to dinner. We kicked it. It just. All right, but tell me some of the funny stuff that happened. It really wasn't nothing, bro. I promise you. It was just a regular day. We just hung out. So, you, your baby mom, and your girl are on the beach. With liquor. And nothing funny happened? No. All right, well, tell me about some of the almost funny things that could have happened. I get it, but I promise y'all, it's not what y'all are thinking. It was just a regular. Everybody just chilling. They had a good time at the beach. Did baby mom bring her nigga, or no? No. Oh, God. Is that welcomed? No. No. All right, well, tell me about some of the. Wait a minute. That's interesting. Wait. How is that interesting? That she can't bring a dude? No, she can't bring a dude. What is that a shock? All right, I'm. No, go ahead. No. No, she. Listen, if she wasn't. We'll meet y'all there. If she was in love, you wouldn't have a problem with her bringing her guy. If she was in love, I met the dude, all that type of situation. You got a vet? No, not a vet. Not a vet. If she's vetted him. Yes, I tried. If that's the person she chose. That's what I keep. Like, I explained to the fellas before when they talk about when people be saying shit like, oh, she can't have nobody around my kids, et cetera, et cetera. You can't control that. No. You have to trust the person that you have a child with and trust their judgment. Right. Now, if something ever goes wrong, you can't control that. If something ever goes wrong, that's when you get to step in or whatever, but you can't control who's around your child if you're not with the mother. You want to control that, you stay with the mom. That's the sit back way of controlling. But you can control who's with you. Correct. But I don't. Like, again, we not on none of that, you know, poke my chest out, I'm trying to be. Like, it's nothing like that. If she did have a dude that she was in love with, that wouldn't have been our first time meeting. Right. That's all I'm saying. Got it. Got it. So by that point, like, that wasn't her and my girl's first time meeting. Right. So if we're at that point, for sure. But you're not bringing nobody home to introduce you to this person. No, that's not. All right, tell me about some of the funny things you was thinking. Oh, my God, yo. Fam, I'm not you. I wasn't thinking that. All right, audience, yo. Yeah. I be trying to fuck this nigga. Oh, my. Hey, listen, I don't know what you want. Jesus, man. I don't know what you want. I keep telling y'all I live a regular fucking life. No, you fucking. I can't go to the beach with my girl. It's not a regular life shit. That's not regular. It is if y'all are all mature. It's right. Well, then that's y'all then. That ain't me. That's very regular. That's very. We all mature. It's regular. It's good. We're all mature. We planning family trips and shit. We are all mature. Yeah. We are all. Everybody's on the same page. We got one goal in mind. The kids. And it's the kids. That's beautiful. What time did the kids go to bed? 9, 30, 10 o'clock? Don't stop your love. Something like that? Hey, don't stop your love. Yeah, that's it. Then what happened? Y'all go out for drinks after that? No. Perfect night would have been a threesome. Now you fucking your night. Now you fucking everything up. Did either one of them. No, I know how to get down. My baby. Me and my baby Jadis is all cool. We a. You can't. What are you shooting? Got it. You do the other thing. All right, let me see you niggas kiss. Okay. Stop it, George. All right, tell me about. There's nothing to squeeze out there. You think? There's nothing there. The stone is. There's nothing there, bro. I promise you, there's nothing there. It was a great. It was a great time. We all had a blast. My daughter did ask, can mommy spend the night. No, she asked her mother, can you spend the night at the house with us? And she was like, girl, you with your daddy for the next two days. Mommy, I got stuff to do. And dropped off at home, and that was it. Okay. We did our best. Boring. Yeah, sorry. I tell y'all I'm boring, but y'all don't believe me. Even that was enough to make like a great bit, but he just dropped it. He just. He take the greatest. He take some shit that could have been Eddie Murphy raw material, and say, even then, but my daughter's like, nope, I said nope, I'll be with you for the day. I went home, but I'm a great dad. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, free. You too positive. We need more positivity. Way to go. Way to go, free. We just talked about the music and the charisma and all that shit. I'm the other side of it. He is racking up the interesting points. All you miss is your everyday gas. All right. I'll ask you one more question. Some of y'all should grow up. I'm asking this because of Taylor Swift. Grow up, little kid. I says our Taylor Swift. Yes. I don't correspond on here. got married or when you get married would you invite her absolutely she's one thousand percent would be there wow that's powerful reason i asked is because taylor swift as y'all know big big wedding deal sure she invited the new york knicks starting five did y'all see this no it's in the garden i love a good mark segment come on fire fire go ahead yo so i was sitting there thinking like did she only do it because it's at the garden oh she's a knicks fan no she's a knicks fan but she don't know them like that so she invited mariska hargraves like she invited a few to the garden regularly yeah but i was just thinking who inviting people you don't know that well to your wedding is a lot because it's probably a friend who didn't get invited who might be mad as shit that like carl anthony towns got invited i don't think there's a friend that didn't get invited at the garden yeah where half where they close off fucking the entire cut and then just because she saw it couple people pissed off they went and donated 27 million dollars to some shit like stop playing stop playing i'm a swifty on the low are you well for sure 100 percent taylor is the only musician brave enough to and powerful enough with the leverage to say what need to be said or against these fucking streamers these spotify's like she's the only one that utilizes her voice and action happens behind it she does i love that she's the only one tough enough to actually do it she's the only one that utilizes her voice and action happens behind it i love that she's the only one tough
