3:14
Speaker 1: who listen to the podcast or watch the podcast to
3:18
Speaker 1: purchase equipment, to pay for software to edit, to bring
3:24
Speaker 1: new features, right, like things that make the content a
3:29
Speaker 1: little bit more enjoyable, like I mentioned, like you're using
3:32
Speaker 1: the proper software. Maybe it's a certain tier I'd like
3:34
Speaker 1: to get to. Obviously I don't have enough supporters to
3:39
Speaker 1: pay for all of this, but it does pay for
3:41
Speaker 1: a portion, and more importantly, sometimes if it's only a
3:45
Speaker 1: couple of people, well that will pay for advertisement on
3:49
Speaker 1: social media sites. So again, if you enjoy the content here,

Speaker 1: it's not going to Oh I see Vegas got a
4:03
Speaker 1: new chain. I bought that. No, you did not, I did.
4:08
Speaker 1: But what you can look at is this video is
4:10
Speaker 1: in four K. This microphone, I'm talking, the camera, you know,
4:15
Speaker 1: maybe even the laptop, even though I paid for most
4:18
Speaker 1: of that, and I wish you would have paid for it,
4:19
Speaker 1: but that's just not how it works. But the software
4:23
Speaker 1: which is monthly, So all those different things contribute to
4:27
Speaker 1: the podcast taking your dollars and putting them to great
4:32
Speaker 1: use based off of your interest, which is hip hop
4:35
Speaker 1: now podcasts. So without further ado, let's get start a
4:40
Speaker 1: big shout out to hip HOPDX, dot com, X Twitter,
4:47
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and a couple of places
4:50
Speaker 1: where I'm getting some of my stories from. Let's get
4:52
Speaker 1: right to the business stuff. Jay Z's Imagine every Players
4:58
Speaker 1: saw a resurgence in Billboard as well as streaming up
5:03
Speaker 1: to three hundred percent higher than previously. Imaginary Players is
5:10
Speaker 1: one of the standout records on jay z sophomore album
5:14
Speaker 1: that to me, is very divisive. It's not a classic,
5:18
Speaker 1: it's a relax but as some people say it was
5:21
Speaker 1: his wackiest album, that's not true because some of jay
5:25
Speaker 1: Z's greatest songs are on this album. And it's not
5:28
Speaker 1: like one or two. It's a couple of them. You
5:32
Speaker 1: know of at least a couple that I like, but
5:34
Speaker 1: Imaginary Players is one of them. And recently Cardi B,
5:39
Speaker 1: who is getting a new album ready, released her version
5:43
Speaker 1: of Imaginary players, basically using the same beat, same concept
5:49
Speaker 1: as jay Z, where in jay Z's original record he
5:52
Speaker 1: was talking about you know guys who were saying, you know,
5:57
Speaker 1: they got money, but they really don't pretend, and you know,
6:01
Speaker 1: naming all these things like where's the humma at that
6:03
Speaker 1: you talked about in your rats? But it's not around
6:06
Speaker 1: those ain't rolex diamonds? What you've done to that? Right,
6:09
Speaker 1: saying I got diamonds in my rolex, but when jay
6:12
Speaker 1: Z sees it, it's not up to snuff. So it was.
6:15
Speaker 1: It was a flex type song. It also was a
6:18
Speaker 1: diss to Mace. He did he dismays twice on two albums,
6:24
Speaker 1: right he this some more hard knocked life. But this
6:26
Speaker 1: was also like a lot of subliminals towards Mace. So
6:31
Speaker 1: it was it was a lot of you know, it
6:33
Speaker 1: was a very dope record back then. What Cardi B
6:36
Speaker 1: did was her version of that, and it's pretty dope
6:40
Speaker 1: now what she says, she had a line, uh she Now,
6:46
Speaker 1: this is a family podcast. I know some may have
6:49
Speaker 1: seen me on other podcast cursing, but not here. Okay,
6:51
Speaker 1: not this one. We cussed on the last one. Not again, okay,
6:55
Speaker 1: but she said a line like, y'all, glory glory holes.
7:01
Speaker 1: You don't know who you fing with, that's a bar, okay.
7:07
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what a glory hole is,
7:09
Speaker 1: I'm not really going to tell you. I'll just say this.
7:12
Speaker 1: If you go to google it, put it on private
7:16
Speaker 1: because you don't know what's going to come up on
7:18
Speaker 1: your screen. Do not do it at work, do it
7:21
Speaker 1: on your phone, and you can't get rid of it.
7:23
Speaker 1: Don't do any of that. If anything, the safest way
7:26
Speaker 1: is just to ask somebody you know. Okay, the best
7:30
Speaker 1: thing you can do is ask somebody you know. But
7:33
Speaker 1: it's still a bar, and you know. Obviously, the streams
7:39
Speaker 1: went up because there are a number of fans of
7:43
Speaker 1: Cardi B who probably never heard the original, and then
7:46
Speaker 1: when they heard it was a jay Z record who
7:50
Speaker 1: they do know, and they, for some reason they think
7:52
Speaker 1: Beyonce made them famous, which is crazy. They went and
7:58
Speaker 1: looked it up and to listen to the original, maybe
8:02
Speaker 1: to compare them. For those of us who heard it,
8:05
Speaker 1: we might have went back and said, y'all, I want
8:07
Speaker 1: to run this back and listen to it again. I
8:09
Speaker 1: haven't heard that song in a while. I haven't heard
8:11
Speaker 1: that album in a while. So nevertheless, jay Z benefited
8:15
Speaker 1: from Cardi b doing this over, but more importantly, she
8:20
Speaker 1: did an excellent job, Like that was just one bar gave.
8:23
Speaker 1: But again, if you think of the essence of the
8:26
Speaker 1: original and what jay Z was saying and who he
8:29
Speaker 1: was talking about in that original, I mean, what do
8:35
Speaker 1: you want? You know what I'm saying? What more do
8:39
Speaker 1: you want? Maam? Like, at the end of the day,
8:42
Speaker 1: it is what it is, So I enjoyed it. I
8:47
Speaker 1: don't think this will be any indication of what her
8:49
Speaker 1: album will be. So if you're feeling like, WHOA, that
8:52
Speaker 1: record was crazy, I think I'm gonna go check out
8:54
Speaker 1: what Cardi has to offer. It's not going to be
8:58
Speaker 1: all that, right, not going to be a bunch of
9:02
Speaker 1: bars and stuff like that. Maybe a couple of other
9:05
Speaker 1: records will be, but that one in particular, that's just
9:08
Speaker 1: what it is, So enjoy it for what it is. Next,
9:15
Speaker 1: So the dude Fabio Faran appeared on Jim Jones's new podcast.
9:21
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he kept saying all the nonsense he
9:23
Speaker 1: was saying, but he essentially said that he couldn't really
9:28
Speaker 1: spit a nas bar. The only I think he said
9:31
Speaker 1: the only record he knew was one mic or that
9:38
Speaker 1: he was familiar with. Now, keep in mind, Faiofarhan was
9:42
Speaker 1: on NAS's album that came out not that long ago,
9:46
Speaker 1: five years ago to be exact, King's Disease Won, which
9:50
Speaker 1: is crazy because it seemed now he now, I watched
9:55
Speaker 1: him say this, right, so I didn't take quotes based
9:59
Speaker 1: off of what he said, even though I think I
10:01
Speaker 1: have a quote here. Yeah, he says, all right, let's
10:05
Speaker 1: just get the quote. This is on hip Hop d
10:08
Speaker 1: x dot com. You can find an interview on or
10:12
Speaker 1: the clip of the interview on Jim Jos's Instagram page.
10:17
Speaker 1: I know somebody's saying, right now, why would I follow
10:19
Speaker 1: Jim Jones. Hey, he dropped a new album this year.
10:21
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. I'm just saying, but this
10:24
Speaker 1: is what fabio'faran said. I'm not saying that the man
10:28
Speaker 1: is whack. He's he's he's a legend. Wait. I was
10:34
Speaker 1: confused because it looked like he said he's not a legend. Okay,
10:37
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the man is whack. He's not
10:40
Speaker 1: a legend. I got a song with the N word.
10:43
Speaker 1: I got a song on the album, and the album
10:45
Speaker 1: got a Grammy, but I can't sit there and say
10:50
Speaker 1: a NAS bar to you or a song I like
10:55
Speaker 1: one mic. So that's what he said. Now, part of
11:02
Speaker 1: me is not upset about it from the standpoint of,
11:09
Speaker 1: you know, him being younger than some of us. Right, You,
11:13
Speaker 1: certain things weren't on the radio. Even if NAS was
11:16
Speaker 1: dropping albums. That didn't mean like because Fabio Farns from
11:19
Speaker 1: New York, that didn't mean like NAS was being played
11:22
Speaker 1: all over the radio. And why like that? Honestly, it
11:26
Speaker 1: wasn't that culture of catching the latest bars and hip
11:31
Speaker 1: hop on New York radio. You sometimes you don't even
11:35
Speaker 1: get that on Funk Master Flex show anymore at night.
11:38
Speaker 1: So I get it if the attention was on other
11:43
Speaker 1: artists for him, right, but at some point as a
11:48
Speaker 1: guy because he's an artist, also as a guy who
11:51
Speaker 1: does this verything in hip hop and NAS is still active,
11:57
Speaker 1: it's just irresponsible to say again, he's saying he's whack.
12:00
Speaker 1: He's not saying that he's not a legend. He's just
12:03
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, he couldn't spit a bar. Now,
12:08
Speaker 1: let me just say this, he's there to say that
12:13
Speaker 1: in Jim Jones's case, to support Jim Jose's case of
12:16
Speaker 1: the kids know my music, but they don't know NAS.
12:21
Speaker 1: To Jim Jones, that makes them relevant. Jim Jones, I
12:25
Speaker 1: like your album, but you will never be You've never made,
12:27
Speaker 1: never spit one bar, You've never had any impact close
12:33
Speaker 1: to NAS. And the fact that the kids know your
12:37
Speaker 1: music is a little bit more disturbing, not because your
12:40
Speaker 1: music is better or more popular, but because you dressed
12:44
Speaker 1: like them and you kind of act like them. I
12:49
Speaker 1: say all that to say, you're kind of immature. So
12:52
Speaker 1: there's a way now. Again, Dipsett had their impact later,
12:56
Speaker 1: so that plays a role, and Jim Jimmy was a
12:59
Speaker 1: part of that, and he wasn't a whack part of that.
13:02
Speaker 1: Like I'm not even going to try to pretend that either.
13:05
Speaker 1: He wasn't. But at the same time, we know why
13:11
Speaker 1: this is circulating because it got him some attention, and
13:16
Speaker 1: here's somebody who can prove his point. Now here's the
13:18
Speaker 1: other thing. Fafio Farren is whacked in me. He is like,
13:24
Speaker 1: he's not a good rapper to me. Now, he was
13:26
Speaker 1: kind of a good actor. When I saw him on
13:29
Speaker 1: what was it? Canaan? I thought he was good like
13:33
Speaker 1: and even though he was playing the rapper, he had personality,
13:39
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you should quit rapping. There are people
13:41
Speaker 1: obviously like him, but I felt like when I heard
13:45
Speaker 1: every time I heard him, he wasn't good and I
13:48
Speaker 1: like pop smoke better. Like pop smoke to me, had
13:51
Speaker 1: the voice, the cadence, the allure, like he kind of
13:55
Speaker 1: just pop smoke. Felt like he was Now I know,
14:00
Speaker 1: Pause God's but he was touching Pause other generations with
14:06
Speaker 1: his music because I know a lot of people from
14:07
Speaker 1: my era who kind of liked pop smoke also. But
14:12
Speaker 1: Faviofarign is just too basic. Jim is better than him.
14:16
Speaker 1: Jimmy's way better than him to me, you know what
14:19
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So that's the other thing. Your taste in
14:23
Speaker 1: hip hop is probably tied to your ability in hip hop. Right.
14:30
Speaker 1: I can't do what NASA is doing, so my interest
14:33
Speaker 1: is kind of But Jimmy talks the stuff that I like,
14:40
Speaker 1: and I grew up on dipset, so maybe it's that.
14:43
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to make excuses for him. I'm
14:45
Speaker 1: not trying to kill him for it. I'm just giving
14:47
Speaker 1: my opinion. I don't think he's that good of a rapper.
14:52
Speaker 1: I don't think he's lying about what he's saying about
14:54
Speaker 1: Nas as far as him not knowing, but the fact
14:58
Speaker 1: that a hit boy run just happened and it wasn't
15:01
Speaker 1: just us, It wasn't just the old heads that was
15:04
Speaker 1: going crazy. I saw it. You can go to YouTube
15:07
Speaker 1: now you see cats younger than five or foreign listening
15:11
Speaker 1: to Elmatic and loving it. So stop even putting that
15:15
Speaker 1: information out there, like, oh, he's a legend, but I
15:18
Speaker 1: don't really listen to it, because that says to the
15:20
Speaker 1: kids who don't even know who Nas is, he's not
15:23
Speaker 1: worth my time because the guy I liked him, it
15:26
Speaker 1: seems stupid. And lastly, so because I did a special
15:34
Speaker 1: bonus episode of this podcast, I was almost not going
15:39
Speaker 1: to do an episode and I probably won't have one
15:42
Speaker 1: next week. If you're from the future, what are you
15:44
Speaker 1: talking about, Get your ass out of head? This already
15:45
Speaker 1: is probably already October, okay, But I wasn't going to
15:50
Speaker 1: do an episode this week, but I had to because
15:54
Speaker 1: I felt like two albums went by that I least
15:59
Speaker 1: needed to put my review out there. And the first
16:03
Speaker 1: one we're going to talk about is Chance to Rapper's
16:06
Speaker 1: brand new album entitled star Line. This is the third
16:12
Speaker 1: album for Chance to Rapper. Obviously he wanted Grammy for
16:18
Speaker 1: excuse me. His debut which used to be talked about
16:21
Speaker 1: as a mixtape. But just like Section eighty now they're
16:25
Speaker 1: trying to say it's an album. Dog. They were saying
16:27
Speaker 1: mixtape when it dropped. Okay, but Coloring Book, which to me,
16:32
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold you, that's a classic. To me,
16:35
Speaker 1: that's a classic album. No bar king, relax, it's not
16:41
Speaker 1: barred up and nobody's getting shot and drinking and standing
16:44
Speaker 1: on the block. It's just a really good album musically,
16:48
Speaker 1: his rapping and all that. It's great. If you never
16:50
Speaker 1: checked it out, check it out. Good variety in hip hop.
16:55
Speaker 1: His last album dropped and I forget the name is
16:57
Speaker 1: the one where he's holding like a clear CD. Understand that,
17:00
Speaker 1: but I don't care about that part. Most people didn't
17:03
Speaker 1: like it. They felt like it was lackluster. I liked it.
17:07
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool. I like Chance to Rap.
17:10
Speaker 1: I like him, you know what I'm saying. I don't
17:12
Speaker 1: know him personally, but I like his voice. I like
17:18
Speaker 1: his style of rapping. He's out of Chicago. If you
17:21
Speaker 1: didn't know, I like this song choices most of the time,
17:26
Speaker 1: I like the beats. So going into a third album
17:30
Speaker 1: where I feel like one is a classic and this
17:32
Speaker 1: one was good. What does this new album, star Line
17:36
Speaker 1: sound like? So before we get into that, I just
17:40
Speaker 1: need to let the new people know. So people who
17:43
Speaker 1: been here just chill. You already know what I'm gonna say.
17:45
Speaker 1: But this is my review scale. I basically give the
17:51
Speaker 1: album three listens, right, three listens off the rip to
17:57
Speaker 1: basically one get my first impressions. Just listen to the
18:03
Speaker 1: album whatever, whatever's there, just listen. My second listen is
18:07
Speaker 1: typically to listen intently, listen to the lyrics, beats, the concept,
18:13
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. And the third listen is just
18:16
Speaker 1: to confirm my thoughts. So star Line Chance to Rapers
18:22
Speaker 1: third album. They're about seventeen songs. Total runtime is an
18:28
Speaker 1: hour and eight minutes. Total features include Gough or Die,
18:35
Speaker 1: bj the Chicago Kid, and Vic Minster, Joey Badass, Young
18:39
Speaker 1: Thug is on here, Lil Wayne's on here, Jay Electronicas
18:43
Speaker 1: on here, Jasmine Sullivan. It's a roster of people. And
18:50
Speaker 1: for those who need to quick review. When I was
18:53
Speaker 1: done with my three listens, it's another good album. Now,
18:57
Speaker 1: I feel like it starts off really and then somewhere
19:02
Speaker 1: in the middle. I kind of got to the point,
19:05
Speaker 1: especially on the third list and where it was like
19:07
Speaker 1: one or two tracks, I was like, I'll probably skip
19:10
Speaker 1: those because even though again songs are meaningful, whatever's there
19:17
Speaker 1: is meaningful. I felt like some of the sonic ground
19:23
Speaker 1: had already been covered in the first couple of records,
19:27
Speaker 1: or also it didn't feel like it matched the tone
19:32
Speaker 1: of what was set, because the tone of what was
19:34
Speaker 1: set went on for so long that I felt like,
19:37
Speaker 1: this is the vibe of the album. Oh wait a minute,
19:39
Speaker 1: there's a whole other vibe happened in that. So it
19:42
Speaker 1: was one of those, and I noticed that happened with
19:44
Speaker 1: a couple of rappers recently that I listened to. Where
19:47
Speaker 1: it's somewhere in the middle, things start to switch up
19:52
Speaker 1: and we don't know if it's going to go downhill
19:55
Speaker 1: from there or be a roller coaster or stayed the course.
20:00
Speaker 1: With this album, I feel like it's more of a
20:01
Speaker 1: roller coaster towards that middle park to the end. But
20:05
Speaker 1: there's way more songs on here I like than not.
20:10
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a great album. I
20:12
Speaker 1: think it's the comeback that I assume so most of
20:17
Speaker 1: his fans would want based off of his second album. Again,
20:23
Speaker 1: I liked it, but I know a lot of people
20:26
Speaker 1: who didn't like. That was a common saying about his
20:29
Speaker 1: second album. Yeah, we don't like it. Let me just
20:33
Speaker 1: say the name, because that's driving me crazy that I'm
20:35
Speaker 1: not saying the name of the album when I could
20:38
Speaker 1: just look it up right here. The Big Day that
20:41
Speaker 1: was the name of it. And I think that was
20:43
Speaker 1: a double album. Yeah, basically twenty two songs. So his
20:48
Speaker 1: last album was in twenty nineteen. So if you like
20:52
Speaker 1: Chance to Rapper and you were kind of so so
20:55
Speaker 1: on the last album from him, check this one out.
20:59
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think it's one of the
21:01
Speaker 1: better albums of the year. But again, when it comes
21:04
Speaker 1: to that list, it's going things are going to shift
21:08
Speaker 1: because it's getting crazy now. There's so many albums on
21:11
Speaker 1: the way. We don't know if some things will stay
21:15
Speaker 1: that Clip's album staying in my top five, know what
21:17
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Next up, Highly Anticipated. We waited, waited and
21:25
Speaker 1: waited when we heard about it. We heard different things
21:29
Speaker 1: about the album. It's been in the works for a
21:31
Speaker 1: long time. Supreme Clientele two by ghost Face just dropped.
21:36
Speaker 1: It is the third release in Mass Appeals seven Icons
21:42
Speaker 1: seven albums. I think Mob Deep is up next, either
21:45
Speaker 1: Mob Deep or Big L but I think it's Mob Deep.
21:49
Speaker 1: But now Well, first we got Slick Ray, then we
21:54
Speaker 1: got Ray Kwan, and now we get his partner in
21:57
Speaker 1: Ryn ghost Face Killer. On this album. There are twenty
22:02
Speaker 1: two tracks including skits, but the album is only fifty minutes.
22:09
Speaker 1: Features include Method Man, Nim Sun God, Jizza's on here, obviously,
22:17
Speaker 1: Ray Kwan's on his styles, p Conway, the Machine, Mop
22:22
Speaker 1: and Nas is on this album. And for those who
22:26
Speaker 1: need to quick review, it is a good album. It
22:33
Speaker 1: is not Supreme Clientele too. I only say that because
22:41
Speaker 1: the tone of this album feels less like Supreme, feels
22:46
Speaker 1: less like a Supreme Clientele sequel, and it feels more
22:50
Speaker 1: like a sequel to Fish Scare, like the types of
22:54
Speaker 1: records you know what I'm saying, Like I don't know.
22:58
Speaker 1: It feels in that lane Bulletproof, while it's felt more
23:02
Speaker 1: like a Seek the original, not what Sony released with
23:06
Speaker 1: all songs missing in tracks out of order and all
23:09
Speaker 1: that garbage that they messed up talk about the original
23:12
Speaker 1: track listing that felt like a sequel to Supreme Clientele.
23:15
Speaker 1: He could have called that Supreme Clientele too, and I
23:18
Speaker 1: would have been like, yeah it is, whereas this one
23:22
Speaker 1: feels like it's fish scale too or pretty tony, like
23:29
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Or he could have just
23:30
Speaker 1: gave it a different name, a new name. This could
23:33
Speaker 1: have been Set the Tone. His last album called Set
23:36
Speaker 1: the Tone had some records on it, but then there
23:39
Speaker 1: was some experiments towards the end and it just wasn't good.
23:42
Speaker 1: This probably should have been Set the Tone, because this
23:45
Speaker 1: is the ghost we know and love. Yes, if you
23:49
Speaker 1: heard me talk about it before, Gruff Voice ghost faces here,
23:54
Speaker 1: But so is the other ghost because there's a lot
23:57
Speaker 1: of these records were recorded a long time ago, and
24:00
Speaker 1: his voice was different. It was what you remember. But
24:04
Speaker 1: I'm also not mad at Gruff Voice Ghosts, and I
24:08
Speaker 1: think that has to do a little bit with I
24:10
Speaker 1: think there's more personality on this album, and you know
24:16
Speaker 1: what else? Does it make this Supreme Clientele too? I
24:20
Speaker 1: remember Ghost said he was in Africa or something like that,
24:24
Speaker 1: and he watched the performance or saw a performance in
24:29
Speaker 1: how like their patterns or whatever. I don't know if
24:33
Speaker 1: somebody was singing or chanting or whatever, and he started
24:36
Speaker 1: to do that, and that's where he came up with
24:38
Speaker 1: those rhyms where he was just saying a bunch of
24:40
Speaker 1: different words together. Fans think it means something. Ghosts Face
24:45
Speaker 1: himself said it does not. I was just rhyming words
24:49
Speaker 1: that's not on here. That to me is what doesn't
24:54
Speaker 1: make it a sequel to Supreme Clientele too, because that
24:57
Speaker 1: played such a huge role and why that album was
25:00
Speaker 1: so dope. Again, this album isn't whack, but it's good
25:06
Speaker 1: standouts for me. I like the Curtis made joint with
25:11
Speaker 1: Styles P and Conway. The Machine Ghost does his thing,
25:15
Speaker 1: Styles get busy, conwayed Conway get really busy on this joint.
25:21
Speaker 1: I like the record Forth Disciple Windows Georgie Porgi. I
25:27
Speaker 1: knew it was probably gonna have the beat that's been
25:30
Speaker 1: used a million times, but I didn't expect Ghosts to
25:34
Speaker 1: sing the hook. But I don't think I would have
25:37
Speaker 1: liked it if they got an R and B person
25:39
Speaker 1: to sing a hook, So I don't know. Maybe that
25:43
Speaker 1: was one that could have stayed Break Beats. His Hot
25:49
Speaker 1: beat Box might be my favorite I'm not even gonna lie.
25:52
Speaker 1: I really liked that joint. And what else. I like
25:57
Speaker 1: the single Meta Metaphysics Love Me More with NAS's School also,
26:04
Speaker 1: but overall, and there's one joint I forget the name now, oh,
26:09
Speaker 1: the Trial, which features Ray Kwon, Method Man and jizzb.
26:14
Speaker 1: It's a concept type thing. But what I like a lot.
26:18
Speaker 1: I really like forth disciple because it's almost like a sequel.
26:21
Speaker 1: Remember on the into the thirty six Chambers, when you
26:25
Speaker 1: know somebody got shot, like Ghosts is real good, unfortunately
26:28
Speaker 1: at describing somebody being outside. In this case, I guess
26:32
Speaker 1: it was his homie and he's, you know, he got
26:36
Speaker 1: shot and he's dying, and ghost is describing the scenery.
26:41
Speaker 1: But he's also telling you his thoughts and why, like
26:45
Speaker 1: I need you not to die right now, you know,
26:48
Speaker 1: for these reasons. He's really good at that, and he
26:51
Speaker 1: does it again on his album. And I think this
26:54
Speaker 1: album got the songs for the ladies. You know, he
26:57
Speaker 1: got concepts, like I said, with the Trial, And also
27:02
Speaker 1: there was one of the things, the skits. Now with
27:05
Speaker 1: ray Kuon's album, he had a bunch of skits also,
27:09
Speaker 1: but those Ray Kwon skits sometimes just be whatever, like
27:14
Speaker 1: like what it was it long bid cop or something
27:16
Speaker 1: like that, like Office a long Bid, Like they just
27:20
Speaker 1: he just make them up and sometimes they're funny because
27:22
Speaker 1: they're kind of ridiculous. Ghosts skits were definitely funny. And
27:28
Speaker 1: remember Supreme Clientele had some classic skits on it, right.
27:34
Speaker 1: I didn't mind the ghost skits as much, I think
27:37
Speaker 1: because I thought they were funnier. Right, Like, he got
27:43
Speaker 1: one that's talking about pause and he's making a statement
27:46
Speaker 1: about it, and I think it's funny. You know, now,
27:50
Speaker 1: what happens when I'm listening to this album again and
27:54
Speaker 1: again and again, some of them might get skipped. I
28:00
Speaker 1: don't know if I did that on Supreme Clientele. But again,
28:04
Speaker 1: I feel like Supreme Clientele two it is not necessarily
28:08
Speaker 1: a worthy successive, but it's not a whack album. It's
28:12
Speaker 1: a good album. I think it's also one of the
28:16
Speaker 1: better albums of the year. It's going to be tough,
28:19
Speaker 1: like between Ray Kuon and Ghosts right now, being part
28:25
Speaker 1: of the seven y'all know I felt about Slick Ray.
28:27
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I love Slick Ray, but Chat just didn't
28:31
Speaker 1: do it for me. But Rey and Ghosts albums, it'll
28:36
Speaker 1: be tough to bump them out of the top ten
28:39
Speaker 1: for me because the top ten I have so far, right,
28:44
Speaker 1: or the top fifteen that I have so far, some
28:48
Speaker 1: of those things were there because they were just the
28:50
Speaker 1: best albums that had dropped since the New year. But
28:54
Speaker 1: I think we're starting to get more content that's pretty dope,
28:58
Speaker 1: and the more that it drops, the more I'm inclined
29:01
Speaker 1: to go back and listen to whatever record I'm about
29:05
Speaker 1: to bump out for this record, and vice versa. By
29:08
Speaker 1: the end of the year, I'll have my list and
29:11
Speaker 1: it'll be definitive, and I have my reasons why. But
29:14
Speaker 1: Supreme Clientele two, it's a good album. It's better than
29:18
Speaker 1: Ghost's last album, set the Tone, hands down. But if
29:23
Speaker 1: you are expecting a truer life one to one Supreme
29:29
Speaker 1: Clientele two, no, I feel like Only Built for Cuban
29:35
Speaker 1: Links Too was a better sequel to rate Kwan's debut
29:41
Speaker 1: than Supreme client Tel two is to Supreme Clientele? But
29:47
Speaker 1: what do you think? Did you hear ghost Faces brand
29:50
Speaker 1: new album Supreme Clientele two? Did you hear a Chance
