Lincoln is in the description of this episode my best of twenty twenty three.

1:48
episode. Now, before we start the preview, excuse me, let's just
1:56
recap just a little bit twenty three and what kind of year it was for
2:01
hip hop. I said this on my year and showed that twenty twenty three
2:07
for me wasn't disappointing. It just didn't really meet my expectations given the fact
2:15
that it was fifty years of hip hop. It was kind of strange because
2:20
on one end, LL COOLJ and Nas were doing everything right. It felt
2:25
like they were the ambassadors of everything that was happening. And then there were
2:30
people who were kind of missing from the celebration, right, And I'm not
2:36
just talking about jay Z. I mean like there were people who we thought
2:39
we saw everybody on these days, but we didn't like empty hammer and stuff
2:43
like that. Like, to me, all of that is hip hop,
2:46
all of it should have been there. I get why people like Hammer didn't
2:51
want to pop up on things, but I think he deserved his flowers.
2:57
And sure back then they didn't give him as his props and his love,
3:00
but I mean it's kind of how life works, right, Like some things
3:05
you gotta get OFO. With Man, we wanted to give Hamma his flowers.
3:08
We wanted to see him on stage dancing. Okay, we wanted that.
3:13
Some didn't, but nevertheless, you cannot deny his impact now, Like
3:20
this is a different story, but Hammer is very different, mainly because he
3:25
was a polarizing figure in hip hop back then with the music he made and
3:30
stuff like that, and people hating on him and blah blah blah. I'm
3:34
not going to get into it. But again, there was just a lot
3:37
in twenty twenty three that felt like it should have been better. We should
3:46
have like I felt like in twenty twenty three we should have got everything right.
3:51
We got a release of NAS's original I Am the Biography, but only
3:57
on vinyl. I don't think it's on Street's services. I did a video
4:00
on that. Check it OUTU. It's pretty popular. So cool stuff like
4:06
that, right, Like, why didn't we just get all the mythological albums,
4:12
right, that album Detox. You know I feel about Detax. I'm
4:15
not gonna say this year. You know, just stuff like that where it
4:18
was like this studio album that was made by this person this person, but
4:24
never came out because of this, we're putting it out now. Put some
4:28
of them shelved albums out, because some of those shelved albums are crazy when
4:33
they come out, right, large Professor's original album, the LP. Just
4:39
thinking about if that had came out at that time, it's crazy. You
4:43
know Rod Digger's album that came out a few years back, I was nine
4:47
nine two to me, which I think it was the best Foxy album that
4:54
came out way too late. So stuff like that we should have just I
4:58
mean those things already. But I'm just talking about albums like that that have
5:01
been sitting on the shelves that artists know, and they know those albums are
5:06
locked away in you know, record industry bullish that they would just say,
5:14
like, yo, let's put this out. You know, I don't know,
5:20
you tell me. But now we are in the year twenty twenty four,
5:27
and I must say that I am very optimistic considering what we didn't get
5:34
in twenty twenty three, I'm thinking twenty twenty four, like, Okay,
5:40
we have fifty years of hip hop, now what's the next fifty I feel
5:43
like we want to get some joints, so let's get right into the business.
5:50
Now. I had to organize this because in years past, I just
5:56
kind of freestyled and riffed and just set everything I want. And you know,
6:00
as it came to my mind, and I've realized, even though these
6:03
shows do well, it was a little bit unorganized on my part. So
6:09
now it is organized into three categories. So I'm gonna keep it light.
6:14
Albums on the Way that I am anticipating, albums I'm curious about, and
6:21
hip hop wishes. That's the fun part. Say that for the end.
6:26
So let's start with albums on the Way. I got five that I want
6:30
to that I'm highly anticipating, Like I can't wait for these particular albums to
6:34
come out. We know they exist, we know they're supposed to come out.
6:40
There were rumored to even come out last year and they didn't. So
6:44
here we are, twenty twenty four at the top. Snoop Dogg's album produced
6:47
by Doctor Dre. Now why right, some people may say, hey,
6:53
look man, I'm getting tired of Snoop. I'm seeing him everywhere, like
6:56
it's he's just losing what I remembered about him. Slow down Snoop's catalog,
7:03
which I did a tear list for. It's interesting because most people checked it
7:11
once they heard dog Father, they just checked out, like that was it
7:13
for Snoop albums, especially once he went to No Limit, that was it.
7:16
But if you listen to Snoop's catalog and go through it, he got
7:21
some very dope albums, Like obviously Doggie Style is at the top to me,
7:28
Blue Carpet Treatment is right under that, that's number two. But then
7:32
he's had a number of albums that were pretty good or dope over the years.
7:38
Right, But one thing in particular was always true, and it happened
7:43
in I say two instances. Right when Snoop left Death Row, it went
7:50
to No Limit and that first album was not good. But the second album,
7:58
and I think the third album, the Last Meal, featured Doctor dre
8:03
production. Right fast forward to the Blue Carpet Treatment, the album I talked
8:07
about. You know, before that Snoop had worked with Premier and Parral and
8:13
had hits, worked with Everybody, Blue Carpet Treatment. He does a song
8:20
with Doctor Dre. Imagine when I tell you every time Snoop and Doctor Dre
8:26
get together, it is magic. The nostalgia, the feeling of early death
8:33
ro comes right back. It just does. Snoop sounds best over Dre production.
8:39
Now he sounds good over other production, but it's something about Dre's sound
8:46
and Snoop's performance and probably you know, just the energy of Dre's Snoop being
8:52
back together that is always dope. It always results in a great album for
9:01
Snoop. It's like once he works with Doctor Dre boone, you bump it
9:03
up, Oh new album top three, Like it's like that. So as
9:11
I understand it to be, I think this album is entirely produced by Dre.
9:16
I cannot wait. When they did the Super Bowl halftime show, he
9:22
kind of hinted at it had the death row you know, buying death row
9:26
thing, but he kind of hinted at it. And then last year in
9:30
twenty twenty three, it felt like it was about to drop, but there
9:33
wasn't really a single, and then nothing happened. So I'm hoping twenty twenty
9:39
four we get this album next up J Cole, The fallof J Cole wrote
9:46
up like a on a piece of paper the different projects that were going to
9:50
drop from him right, And even though The Fallof is like the final of
9:58
those projects, I believe it will drop this year. Maybe later in the
10:03
year because I think there's one project before that, but I think it will
10:07
drop this year. And why I anticipated so much is because his last album
10:11
was pretty dope, but I can't front. I stopped listening after a while,
10:16
mainly because I felt like with that album, I forget the name,
10:20
the one with the basketball hoop on fire, the jump shot, something like
10:24
that, but I felt like that album he was trying to prove a point
10:31
lyrically that yo, I'm nice, right, So everything was really about bars,
10:35
and which is not a bad thing. But I think where J Cole
10:39
is strongest is when he combinds it to right. It gives you some bars,
10:46
gives you some storytelling, some perspective, like some songs, and I
10:50
think that's what was missing from that last album. It was kind of like
10:54
off the rip, Yo, this is this is dope, but it just
10:58
didn't leave me listening to it for much longer. After that, you know,
11:03
especially now, it's not one I would go back to. Twenty twenty
11:07
four will see the ten year anniversary of arguably his best album in his catalog,
11:16
maybe not even arguably Forest Hill twenty fourteen, Forest Hill Drive, The
11:24
fall Off gotta be dropping. One of the reasons why, you know,
11:28
I also felt like I'm anticipating this album more than others is the fact that
11:37
his features, his features have been kind of crazy lately, right, And
11:43
I'm not just talking to twenty twenty three and the stuff he did with Drake.
11:46
I'm going even beyond that, like the joint John Pace Caddy would Benny
11:52
the Butcher, like that's the verse on it. Like I'm a big Benny
11:58
the Butcher fan who also has an album I'm dropping in January. If you're
12:01
from the future, get your ass out of here. Januaryy past, okay
12:05
for you, not for me, but like he made me look at Benny
12:13
the Butcher like, oh, you're on this level of rapping and I like
12:18
it. J Cole's head, it's a presence, right, It's a presence
12:26
he has on these tracks that not only feels like confidence in the words he's
12:35
saying, but in his bars and his delivery and everything. So I mean,
12:39
I really, I really can't say much more beyond the fact that I
12:45
am really anticipating this album and I'm curious to see what, you know,
12:52
what's going to be there. You know, I don't need another Drake collabo.
12:56
That's we're good joint on Drake's album and then the Scary Hours. That
13:01
was enough. Okay, we don't need another one unless unless you make a
13:07
song called the Big Three featuring Drake, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar. Now
13:16
you're talking, Okay, that one's free of charge, mister Cole. Mob
13:22
Deep album Now, look, this could be a wishful thinking thing of when
13:31
it drops, but we know it's in the works. Prodigy said, Yo,
13:37
I'm not Prodigy recipes. Prodigy Havoc said, I'm working on a Mob
13:41
Deep album right with p on it. Now, we don't know what this
13:48
is. This could be him taking songs that they have that they were working
13:54
on that were never released and making an album. This could be unfinished song
14:00
where they throw a bunch of features on an album to kind of make up
14:05
for the lack of vocals from Prodigy. The latter. I'm not that much
14:09
of a fan of because it's the thing that's always done and it's hit a
14:13
mess and it always kind of signals that the party's over. You know that
14:20
this guy has passed on and we don't have anything else from him, unlike
14:24
Tupac. But I think the blueprint for Havoc if he could do it.
14:30
I don't know what he has for a new Mob Deep album is the last
14:33
Gangstar album that is probably next to a Tripcore Quest right, which was different
14:43
Tripcore Quest album. Fife was there for the majority of it. That's why
14:48
they had so much, so he wasn't really absent. He didn't die and
14:52
all of a sudden, you know, we only got three verses like nah,
14:56
he didn't mad music with the group before, whereas Guru Premier just cheft
15:03
the project right. He made it feel like a Gangstar album. Ja Cole's
15:09
on it. Also, it didn't feel like, oh I only got a
15:15
hook from Google, oh I only got half a verse from Google. It
15:20
felt like him and Guru made a project and it sound like a Gangstar album.
15:26
That's what we need from a Mob Deep album. We need the beats
15:30
to evoke evoked, that sentenced to sound that Havoc is known for that feels
15:37
like Mob Deep. We need as many verses from Prodigy as we can get.
15:43
We need uh features from those that are part of the Mob Deep infamous
15:52
universe, right right, like maybe a nas in there, you know,
15:56
maybe Alchemists get on the bars and on the beat and stuff like that.
16:00
Don't put it. I love j Cold, don't put him on a Mob
16:04
Deep album. No, I know he's good for it, but do something
16:12
different. Put somebody on there that does. Put stove God on it,
16:18
right, somebody like that. Put Bennie on it. Somebody right, but
16:23
not too many of them. Don't put all of them on it because we
16:26
don't want to hear that. Those albums typically always again always feel like the
16:32
party's over all right, I'm going way too long on this. Two more
16:38
ll Cool Jay's album produced by q Tip. I think it was called The
16:44
Force or that was the name of the single. I don't like Don't Cold
16:47
album that. Please don't quote album that because I know you guys are older.
16:52
That sounds old because it means nothing. You're not Jedi. Okay,
16:57
But in twenty twenty three read we thought that we thought we were going to
17:02
get that album. El COOJ was everywhere. He was the ambassador. He
17:06
even performed Tom Square on New Year's Eve right before the ball drop, Right
17:14
crazy l COOJ could do a halftime Super Bowl show. Yea, I need
17:19
to make that happen. That would be crazy what guest appearances. Obviously,
17:26
but we thought that the albums coming out because we finally got a single,
17:32
and when we heard it, at least for the most part, we were
17:34
all like, Okay, okay, if this is what it's going to sound
17:40
like, I'm with it. I could hear this, you know, dropped
17:45
the album, And they didn't drop the album, And I think momentum was
17:48
lost because the way they released a single, it kind of isolated the fan
17:56
base to only those who who have serious XM subscriptions. No, no,
18:03
no, I get it. Maybe there's a bag behind that. Maybe it
18:10
drives audience to your current business, right, you just don't want to put
18:15
it out in a while. But I think it was a mistake because there
18:18
was some energy building, right, all these hip hop fifty performances in l
18:22
and all the spotlight on him from younger and older. And you drop a
18:26
new record and you put it on a satellite service that not everyone has Contrary
18:32
to popular belief, a lot of people use streaming services more than anything.
18:37
Some people still use the regular radio more than they use serious XM, so
18:44
having it be exclusive to Rock the Bells, I get it. But at
18:48
the same time, there's just people who are not going to go get a
18:52
subscription because of a song they're curious about. Now, thanks to YouTube,
18:57
we all heard it and it was dope. So I'm thinking if they were
19:03
that close before, then they may have another follow up song that they could
19:10
drop in twenty twenty four for everybody that get the momentum going. And finally
19:17
released his album because I'm curious to hear you know what's there because the first
19:22
snippet of it was great, so they have it. And lastly, a
19:29
new album from Tyler the Created. He has this schedule of releasing albums every
19:37
two years in a row, which may happen because his last album was released
19:41
in twenty twenty one, so twenty twenty four would be timed. And the
19:47
main reason why I'm anticipating Tyler the Creator is because he has been on a
19:55
streak of dope albums. I think he's done maybe three or four in a
20:00
row that had that's made me a bigger fan, like I was. I
20:04
was kind of a fan back in our future days, but not really you
20:08
know, I had songs like here and they. I wasn't really damn for
20:11
all the shock rapping, you know, like I was kind of done with
20:15
that, like eminem Men did that, and it was just like too much,
20:18
Like all right, we're good, We're good, that that era is
20:21
over. But then he started releasing albums like the Egor album and the other
20:27
album that I can't remember off the top of my head with the bes on
20:30
it on the album cover something like that, and then the joint with DJ
20:37
Drummer, and I was like, I want to hear what's next because everything
20:42
has been really dope and he's been in a really dope creative space. It's
20:48
let me just soa boxed real quick. It is always good as a fan
20:52
or excellent experience when an artist is inspired, When an artist this is inspired,
21:02
allied nas well you get that hit boy run, like when you're truly
21:07
inspired, right, like the words are coming to you differently. You've been
21:11
you know, you maybe you spent years rapping this way and rapping about this
21:15
and you felt like that was the only thing you could rap about and then
21:18
all of a sudden, like this new world opens up and you're able to
21:21
talk about all these things and still have them be dope and grow as an
21:26
artist. And I feel like he's grown as an artist. And I prefer
21:32
this version of Tyler the Creator more than I do the younger version of him.
21:37
So we'll see. All right, Let's get into the other categories,
21:42
which are only like three albums a piece. The other category albums I'm curious
21:51
about Common and Pete Rock project. Now. Common announced this a while back
22:00
in twenty twenty three. I'm saying a while back, like it wasn't yesterday
22:06
that he would be working on a joint project with Pete Rock. Then he
22:10
went on to release like a freestyle or whatever with Premier. I'm curious because
22:18
Pete Rock can still make dope beats like Retropolitan with sky Zoo is exhibit a.
22:26
Go listen to that. Pete Rock can still make beats that are crazy.
22:33
Common in recent years has been more on the introspective side with his albums,
22:40
and unfortunately, I think, and not that this is a bad thing,
22:45
but I didn't like the song Glory, not what it was about.
22:51
I just didn't like it as a song, mainly because of Common. I
22:56
felt like it was the most basic version of Common, and you could get
23:00
it was a dollar general version of comment to Common fans, and I felt
23:06
like him winning an Emmy and an Oscar and all of that based off of
23:10
that song told him, oh, well, people like this, So then
23:17
all of his songs became basic in the same way. And even though he
23:22
dropped the albums and I know other people didn't like it, but I thought
23:26
it was cool. The album that came out that was like a companion piece
23:32
to his biography, his book or whatever. I thought it was cool.
23:37
But I get it for a Common fan, it's like, yo, man,
23:40
we're Common with shot Town, Like we're the corner right where that at.
23:47
It ain't on that album, and it kind of wasn't on the DJ
23:52
premire freestyle. He still kind of sound really based, like the hunger's not
24:02
there. So I'm thinking the hunger for Pete Rock is definitely there. And
24:07
he's producing Common, so I need him to produce him, right, I
24:11
need him. When he hear them basic bars coming out, he got to
24:15
say, yo, dog, you're Common, I'm pe Rock. There's an
24:22
expectation. Right, there's a bar that sky Zoo said honestly that you gotta
24:27
meet. So I'm curious, curiously optimistic in some ways. But who knows
24:36
mad Lib. Mad Lib is sitting on the EP he produced with Mac Miller,
24:44
which I'm not the biggest Mac Miller fan. I don't dislike him,
24:48
but I don't go crazy for him like a lot of people do. But
24:52
I'm curious knowing those two getting together. I could hear mac Miller sound and
24:57
wordplay over like full on mad Lib production, so I'm curious about that one.
25:04
I'm also curious about mad Lib and Dooms mad Villainy too, that supposedly
25:12
he's still working on. I think we get the Mac Miller before we get
25:18
the MF Doom joint, but I hope we get both so they have it.
25:22
And lastly, for albums, I'm curious about hit Boy and Alchemists collaborat
25:33
EP album whatever it gotta happen in twenty twenty four, you know why they
25:37
did a song on hit Boy's album. The song was called I Think Slipping
25:42
into Darkness right where hit Boy rapped over Alchemist's beat and Alchemist wrapped over Hip
25:49
Boy's beat on the same track, put out a video and it was so
25:56
dope. It was so dope. It was like what hip hop fans want.
26:03
Now, there's some people, you know, I get it, some
26:04
of y'all just mad to be mad and just like yo, it was a
26:07
I but what I need is a bacon button. What they didn't do it
26:12
okay, boy hit Alchemists sound good together and especially over these types of beats.
26:22
I think if they put out an EP that has this feel and it's
26:29
them two rapping over beats and you know, bring in your mainstage. You
26:33
know what I'm saying, like, bring Nads in for a verse. If
26:36
they do an album bringing who Alchemists? Oh nah, don't bring in both
26:41
the James. Come on, don't do it. I mean you can bring
26:42
them in, bringing Larry June. Larry June, I could kind of stomach
26:45
more than both the Jeans the disinterested rappers. Don't get me started, uh,
26:52
But I just thought it was so dope, and I remember when it
26:57
came out, I tweeted something like, we need an album of this.
27:03
Now. I know hip boy likes everybody's comments and retweets, and I kind
27:08
of love that about him because I think it's what keeps people engaged with what
27:15
he's working on and his music, right, I think it just does And
27:21
he liked the comment. Then later on I saw an interview where he said
27:26
they have projects, so we gonna get something. So I'm very curious about
27:33
that. And lastly, three hip Hop Wishes. I know I put up
27:41
forward like bro Man, but I was kind of trying to get the other
27:44
finger down three. If you're watching on video three hip Hop Wishes for myself,
27:49
let's start off new jay Z out right, Come on, Jay,
27:53
I know how you get down. You and Beyonce very sneaky, right,
27:57
You're very stealthy with your drops and how and you and I get it.
28:04
You're prepared, right, You're fully prepared. You do everything, You cover
28:10
everything, tall everything. So when you start to leak, it's a slow
28:14
leak to the flood. Right, you think that leak is a leak,
28:18
No, it's a flood behind that door. I think jay Z is going
28:25
to do something. I just don't know what it's going to be. I
28:30
know he's going to do something, I just don't know what it's going to
28:33
be. And a lot of it has to do with four four four dropping
28:37
a while ago dudes like nods putting out like six projects and just all the
28:45
tension and love and Grammy nods and all of that. And we know jay
28:52
Z loves hip hop and he can't just stand by fifty years of hip hop.
28:56
He's watching it. He's not even performing. He's not performing with anybody.
29:00
He just did the museum in Brooklyn. And if you ain't from Brooklyn
29:03
or you not visiting Brooklyn, you didn't get to see it, right,
29:07
not the museum, the exhibit at the library in Brooklyn. But that was
29:14
kind of all he did for the most part. And he did an interview
29:19
with Gail and if you're like Gail, who we don't even say her last
29:25
name, recipes Kobe where jay Z said, if I do an album,
29:33
I can't just do an album. It has to be something important. It
29:37
has to have some kind of meaning behind it. Now I think he already
29:41
knows what that is, but I think he wants it to be right long
29:48
gone other days where jay Z would drop an album every year and it was
29:52
fire. That was the time. Every year he would drop a new album
29:56
and it was hot and you were just like, this is crazy. Right
30:00
now, he wants to have more purpose. Now. What I was thinking
30:06
is, if you look at four four four or four p forty four,
30:11
whatever it's called, that was jay Z's most personal album to date. He's
30:18
spoke about his real life or written about his real life in numerous songs and
30:26
verses over the years, but this was a whole album dedicated to that.
30:32
And I liked it for that because I was like, Oh, this is
30:33
the first time he's actually being really vulnerable and just letting it all out about
30:38
his family, about his wife, his marriage, his kids, himself,
30:44
insecurities. Like it was dope. But there's one thing that you know,
30:48
jay Z always wanted to do, but he hasn't done it yet, and
30:52
the climate is ripe for it, and that's a conscious album. Now.
31:00
I'm not talking about pyramid hats and cheo sticks, jay Z, No,
31:06
I'm just talking about an album where he's going to have a number of political
31:11
points of views about the record industry, about business in general, about black
31:18
people, because he's already been doing it a little bit on four point forty
31:22
four he did some of that right, So I think Jay's more interested in
31:29
that than anything than to give you, like a mogul talk album. Because
31:33
he's been doing that for years. So we'll see a WO album. I
31:44
think Wu Tang dropped the ball like they did had the final season of Wu
31:52
Tang and American Saga on Hulu. I did all kinds of videos with guests
31:56
shout out to them, and it felt like at the end we needed a
32:04
new WU album that just felt like the Woo we know. Now. I
32:07
say it felt like the Woo we Know is because unfortunately the official Woo projects
32:14
that have dropped that were produced by Riza just haven't been great now. The
32:20
ones that have been worked on by Mathematics are good then, but it's not
32:28
what fans want. Mathematics is really good at giving the Woo that old wool
32:32
sound and it sounds great, but I need Riza behind the boards. I
32:37
need Riza to say, how can it, like, Rizza, stop looking
32:43
at your old sound as passing. How can I create that same energy today?
32:52
And it's not gonna come from some weird stuff. Okay, it's not
32:58
flutes and all of that, like shout out to three Stacks, but no,
33:02
and that's it sounds crazy, don't get me wrong, But I want
33:07
a Woo album or if we can't get a Wu Tang Clan album this year.
33:14
The long rumored in development Supreme Clientele two, which when Ghosts and Ray
33:23
appeared on Drink Tent Drink Champs, I guess a year or two ago now,
33:30
ghost Face said that he was turning over the Oh he wanted to at
33:36
least have Kanye executive produce it. Now I don't know about that. Don't
33:45
get me wrong. I hear beats from Kanye that I'm still like, he
33:47
kind of still got it. He's weird. But then I think about what
33:53
I know about Supreme Clientele, and again, Riza Rizzard was a big part
34:01
of that as well. You know, he didn't do all the beats,
34:04
but he was. He I think he was executive producer. He oversaw it
34:08
something like that, but he was involved. Right. I need that.
34:14
I need Riza to stop playing man and the other one if we can't get
34:19
those two is what Ray Kwon mentioned during the lockdown that there's a only built
34:25
for Cuban links three on the way. Now. I know you can say,
34:32
oh, going back to the well too much. You know, you
34:37
know you're gonna mess it up. I don't know. First one is a
34:39
classic. Second one is a great album, so why not complete the trilogy
34:45
right? Two for two when it comes to those albums. Plus also,
34:50
I think this year I'm gonna do a Ray Kwon tail list. I did
34:53
a ghost face. Most people know those albums, but most people don't know
35:00
the Ray Kwon albums, and they assume that only the Cuban Lynx joints are
35:05
the ones that are good, which is not true. So there you have
35:08
it with that and the last one, my last wish, another thing I
35:16
tweeted about and the artists pressed the like button on it. Stove God Cooks.
35:25
Now, I think I know what the problem is, because it makes
35:30
absolutely no sense why we don't have a follow up to his debut, which
35:36
I believe dropped in twenty twenty that everybody went crazy for and I'm probably gonna
35:43
listen to today just because I have it in a while. Stove God Cooks
35:47
is to me, taking what Griselda does and everybody liked that Rock Marcy,
35:55
all these all these guys that kind of all rap in the same lane in
36:00
the same vocal tone, which I all love. But he's different. Stove
36:05
God is different. He brings a different flare and flavor to it, and
36:12
he's now with Grizila Records, but he is. He does hooks, and
36:16
he gives us a verse here and there, and that's it. Now.
36:20
The thing that I suspect is there's some legal issues and I'm not talking about
36:27
crimes. I think there might have been some legal issues holding up him releasing
36:34
a new project on Griselda Records, because they just don't talk about it that
36:38
much. And I know he was with Rock Marciano. If you don't know,
36:42
he was with Rock Marciano, they did that first debut that went crazy,
36:49
and then they had some kind of situation and Stove God went to grisel
36:54
the Records and then elitd follow up to his debut album leaked, which some
37:04
people suspected Rock Marcy leaked it. And then it was just features and hooks
37:10
for stove God. In twenty twenty four, we need a proper follow up.
37:16
And it got to be crazy because now we've waited way too long,
37:21
right, you're talking about four years. Two years was cool, but you're
37:24
talking about four years. Nah, it's time or we're going to be back
37:30
in the Jay Electronica lane where we're like, I guess it was just that
37:36
one thing and that's it so and then that's that's another one that's rumored,
37:43
Jay, Electronica, Griselda. You know, we'll see. That's gonna do
37:49
it for me. What is your most anticipated project that you know is coming
37:53
out with in twenty twenty four? And he wishes anything you hope comes out.
38:00
