• 3:57
  Speaker 1: get right into the business done. So check this out, y'all.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Check this out. Conway the Machine, I know the list.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I know. Conway the Machine recently listed his top five
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: MC's and his scale, which is important. His scale is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: based off who he thinks has the nicest pen game
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: right now. For those of you who are interested in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: hip hop and pulling up to this podcast. First of all,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: welcome those of you who are new and maybe you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: don't get all the lingo, but you're you like it,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you like hip hop. Nicest does not mean this guy's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a good guy or that that doesn't mean he's a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: bad guy. But it doesn't mean what you think it is.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Nicest does not mean that, it means you are very good,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: excellent at writing raps okay, doesn't mean the kindest, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: nicest on these mic devices, like remember, like that's what
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we talk about, right, So that's the slang. But Conway
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: listed his top five. So he was on the drop
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: one of four point seven in Denver, Colorado, and was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: asked about his favorite spinners, and this is what he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: said in our quote. Hands down they top five. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm gonna say the nicest pin the nicest dudes,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: no order at all, Andre three thousand, I'm gonna say
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: jay Z. I really really want to say Tupac, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: hold on, let me keep thinking. I want to have
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Ray and Ghosts as one. It's a tie, and I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: probably go with Lil Wayne in fifty cent. So let's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: see one, two, three, four, five, six, he got like
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: seven people, y'all. He not committing to it now, as
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we always do. We have to say this right like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: as we always do. We got to say this. I'm
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just making sure he didn't add any other things to that, okay,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So his top five to me is cool. I could
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: see I could see somebody who puts Tupac in their
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: top five as far as nicest pin. I think some
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: people don't think about Tupac when they say nicest and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: nicest pin because they really only think about like lyrical
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: technique as far as being really technical with how you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: put your words together and claver with it right. But
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Tupac's pin game was to me strongest when it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: his conscious music, when it was his you know, like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the pro black or dear Mama, or keep your head
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: up or changes. You know what I'm saying. I wonder
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: if having got a ghetto like the things he would
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: say in these records, Brenda's got a baby, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: even I get around. Tupac was a lot of those things.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So I could see somebody including Tupac. Jay Z was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: kind of a given because jay Z embraced Griselda when
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it came out. You know, came around, not saying that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: he didn't like him before that, but I think that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: reinforces how you feel about a person now that you've
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: arrived and they've embraced you publicly, and you know, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: everything beyond that Lil Wayne I could see because there's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a generation and old heads, and ain't that from my generation,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but old heads, notice there's a generation who Lil Wayne
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is the blueprint for other rappers that came after that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: He's literally the blueprint. His influence can't be denied. And
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: his influence isn't just you know, those that chose to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: dress and look like him, you know what I'm saying,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It's really much more than that. There's a lot of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: people who we respect, like a Kendrick Lamar, who I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind hearing a Kendrick and Lil Wayne track together.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they've ever done that. They might do
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it now though, because you know things that went down.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But you know, there's a certain generations that's just heavily
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: influenced by Lil Wayne, and I think also there's a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: certain level of respect. Lil Wayne is a hip hop head,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like the stories people tell in hip hop about him,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: with features like him not charging dudes when he was
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: at his peak, him like, you know, yo, Wayne, can
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you hop on this track? And he's sending you that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: joint the same day, like he's an honorable dude. I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: can see fifty cent on his list. There's a part
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of Conway the Machine that has a little fifty in
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: what he does. And again of a certain generation fifty pooh,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: when fifty was hot, it was hot, okay, mixtape scene everything.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Who else he named rain Ghost? I could see that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: as well. So I think, I mean, I think generally
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in Andre three stacks, I think like when people argue
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: for or against Andred three thousand, I think it's tough
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for people to explain why they like him and why
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: they don't like him. And I think it's pretty simple.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Andred three thousand is almost like a dude a style.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You can't really say he's this or he's that. You
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: can't call him country, can't call him you know, basic.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You might not consider him a boombat rapper, like he
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: literally can do any style right, any style, and he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: really dope with it and thoughtful, like even though yeah,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this isn't the craziest line ever, but I remember he
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: was on that one song with Ry I think it
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was Ryan Leslie and Kanye and all of that. Don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: stop something like that. Well he said the light what
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: he said the life in times of Andre ben Jammon,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Like because his name is Andre Benjamin, I was just
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: like man man flipped his last name. He could have
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: had that ball a long time ago. And that's just
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: crazy alone. So we get it. I've already done at
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: least my top five MC's of all time. I think
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: if it just came down to my favorites, it might
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be a little different. But for the most part, that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: list was that list, So I don't know. I don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: disagree with him. It's his list, but I think it
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is a solid list. He just chose like seven people
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: instead of five, So there you have it. Tyler the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Creator did an interview recently, and what stuck out the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: most in this interview beyond everything else, like apologizing to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Eminem about his critique on Recovery, which was Eminem's kind
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of sobriety, you know, comeback album, so to speak, which
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I thought was pretty good for Eminem because it was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: different from anything else he had done at the time.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But he also said that he doesn't like meme rappers.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So in an interview with Maverick Carter, who I didn't
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: know he had his own platform, but whatever he said,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Tyler said, I don't want to seem like a hater
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: something times I have hater energy because I just think
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I'm that good. I love this art form so much, bro.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And there's so many end words out right now that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: aren't musicians that are getting treated like musicians because they
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: make mean records. They'll publicly be like, I don't give
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: an f about music. I just do this ish for money.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's like the Spider Man meme of the next N word,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: when every publication is like, hell yeah, let's put that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: out now, you're taking up space for people like me.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold y'all. You know, I agree, you know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I agree because it's it's unfortunate, and I kind of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: blame those institutions and organizations and companies that give this
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: stuff life because it's an easy buck to make, because
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it's t most of these and it's not everybody in
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the industry right, because there are people who put out
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: quality music, but it's just too easy to continue or
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: trend and to continue to feed people this meaningless trend.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: It's like fast food, right, you're hungry, you eat fast food.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You're not hungry nomore. But if you're eating fast food
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: every day, it's just not good for you. It's not
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: fast food is not good for you. Home cooked meals
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: are good for you, and we need more home cooked meals.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And I think that's his whole issue, is the fact
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that all of this energy is being poured into these
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: artists because I don't like to say musicians unless you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: play instruments, so I will say artists, because you know
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you're recording artists, performers, whatever. I feel like they don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: necessarily care enough or even have a way. And it's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: around the fact they're being used because we could literally
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: go down the list of the hot new rapper, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it's been happening for like ever since the ringtone era,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: where you know such and such artists is hot with
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a song that could be catchy, which is cool, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: then after that star fades, nobody cares about them that much.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: They're just more of a prop that bounces around until
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they fade away and we forget about them because there's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: already been ten new versions of that. And I think now,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: right now, what you're seeing is it happened mostly with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the ladies right now, it's kind of the ladies turn.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: For a long time it was the dudes, but now
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you keep getting these female rappers every five minutes who
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: have the same rhetoric, have the same look, move the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: same way, talk the same way, talk about the same
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: things over and over again, until that group of people
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who like that music or who like that artist feel
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like they're not really doing much. Which is interesting, right
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: because for the people who love and I'm just gonna
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: name names, I'm not trying to disrespect, there's songs here
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and there from different people I like, but just not
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: enough to go to sew a whole album or even
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: buy the song I like. But when you look at like,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: oh there's ice Spice, and oh there's sexy Red, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: there's Glowrilla, and you know, like it's in Scarlet, even
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: though Scarlet is a little bit different, but now she's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: trying to get in that same lane. It's sort of like,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: if you don't capitalize off of your moment, you can't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: expect to be gone. If you're not more then the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: mean rap you create, you're a trend. You're literally a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: trend you're literally a mean, right, there's a meme that's just, oh,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: everybody think it's funny. Everybody uses it, and you kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of use it, use it and use it, and then
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you stop because you moved on to the next thing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So in a lot of ways, yes, it gets in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the way of those that take their time to write
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: impactful music, to create impactful production and promotional layouts, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: just people who work on a project, you know, with
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: full detail until they're ready to just go. And before
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I move on to the final topic, here's a prime example.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: We look at the Drake and Kendrick battle as a battle, right,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but under that layer, and trust me, on this podcast
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: with guests, we've talked about it, you know, to the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: calves come home or whatever at nauseam. Right, But the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: reason why Kendrick won is because Drake thought that using
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the same trendy formula that's kind of worked for him,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: even though I put him way above some of those
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: other people I've named, but he thought using the trendiness
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of pop culture and what people like and how fast
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: they move on and blah blah blah was going to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: get people on his side because it was it's almost
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: like people are trained to just jump on what's trendy,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but Kendrick was able to take what's trendy with substance
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and really counteract everything Drake did and really point out
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: how like bankrupt of like like the substance of what
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Drake was saying and making felt bankrupt in comparison to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: somebody who gave you what was it, four different disc records,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: None of them sound the same, all of them contain
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a certain vibe from boom back to West Coast bop
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to straight up bars to straight to you know, track
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: beats and all like he gave you all those looks
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and layered his lyrics and all of this was all
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in like record term. This wasn't Oh it took two
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: years or he must have been sitting on those records.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: You don't rebuttal like that without sitting on those records.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Just know this, You know how he did it because
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: he's bad where he at now. He's Batman just pops
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: out destroyers to dude. So that's the thing I'm saying
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: with this, It's like Drake's probably the fatal move for
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: somebody like Drake in this battle was the fact that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he thought he can do the same trendy things that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: had been working for him for years with his singles
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And then that wave was just
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: gonna say, Yo, Drake's winning because he's making what's hot.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And Kendrick said, I'm gonna make what's hot and I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: gonna make everything else and I'm going to get everything
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and everybody on my side. Whereas the trendy meme rap,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, look a look at this, y'all. Hey,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: look at the people. Whether you like that stuff, you
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like half of those rappers or all of those rappers
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: are named or not, no quality. When they hear it
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and when they see it, it's just a matter of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: whether they wanted to accept it. And once they accept it,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it makes it tough for those who, you know, are
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: used to reading the instructions on the cake box that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: are making a cake from scratch. Does that make sense?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And lastly, so uh. Power one five interviewed Sauce Walker
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this week. If you're from the future, I mean something
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: already happens. Get your ass out of here. You already know, man,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's not even for you. But Sauce Walker was on
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Power one on five's Breakfast Club and he specifically talked
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: about Drake and becoming a resident of Houston. Right recently,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I saw online I think it was Double Excel posted
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Drake's ID as a Houston resident now, which was interesting
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. But we're not going to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: get into those other other things. But Sauce Walker spoke
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on it, and him and Drake have kind of had
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: their thing back in the past. It he actually made
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a disc record about Drake that I don't think I
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: even heard of it. I remember seeing the cover, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've heard of it. It's a play
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: on back to back. I think it's called Whack to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Whack or something like that. So there's a history now
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: supposedly that was all water under the bridge, And in
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: his interview, he basically was saying, like, Yo, it's funny
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: how this dude is becoming a resident of this town.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And he's always claimed this town, like you know, as
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: an influence in Da Da Da, But he's never really
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: done music with a lot of the artists from Houston
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: like he did with Atlanta, right, and we know how
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that went. Just go see the like that record, you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: ain't like that record, not that record, not like us,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But he was coming more so from the standpoint because
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure people can point out, oh, well, he
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: worked with you know, Beyonce, and he worked with such
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and such who was from Texas. But the point he
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was making was those are like even exchanges, right, Like
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: if Drake does music with Travis Scott, who I think
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: he mentioned who I didn't even know he was from there,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: but maybe he is. I don't know. You let me
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: know in the comment section, but he was saying that,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know, Travis is a is a big artist, right,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: so him and Drake teaming up is more like an
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: even exchange as opposed to Drake working with hot artists
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: who are up and coming, who in some cases may
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: not be that well known outside of Texas. That was
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: his point because he did that numerous times with Atlanta artists.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I agree, but I think Souce Walkers is just wait
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: because considering now Drake is a resident, we know Rap
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a Lot Records is close by him, so we know
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: why you're there fan safe Haven. I could see him
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: really like try not to appear like a vulture, but
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: working like yo, who's hot, you know, And Sauce Walker
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: is one of those dudes who's hot down there. Is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it the biggest deal in the world. I don't think so.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I like, I could see where Sauce Walker is coming from,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: but I guess I don't like the fact that he's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: pointing that out right, because not because Drake doesn't do
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it or that he's not right, but just the simple
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: fact that it comes across like if Drake was if
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Drake did that with you, would you say it? That's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: what I feel what you say if he was, like, Yo,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna embrace Sauce Walker because I think the thing
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: is is Hendrick, a dude from Compton, pointed out what
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Drake was doing, pointed out publicly what Drake was doing
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: with Atlanta, right, nobody from Atlanta did Drake did. Now
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm talking I mean Kendrick did. Now Again, I'm talking
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: about someone with a voice that when he says it,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: everybody can hear it. So they're probably are people. Probably
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: are people who felt that way in atl But everybody
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: was working with him, so it didn't you know, it
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: didn't mean anything. I just kind of feel like if
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Drake turned around and started doing that, which you feel
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: better about him because the knock on him and the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: reason why Sauce Walker was probably mentioning this is he's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: using the culture to further his career and make money.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So Atlanta was the hot spot for hip hop. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: remember Drake, if you if you've been a Drake fan,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like I've been a Drake fan since day one, right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: there's a different there's two different versions of Drake. This
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the Drake from the early days who sound a certain
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: way on tracks, sung on records, and then there's the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: other one who started hopping on waves and culture and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: trying to make his own version of that. And when
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you look at him before any of the fame, before
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: cash Money and Young Money and all of that, you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: could tell he was a dude that wasn't that connected
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to the culture. He probably liked it, but he's not
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the dude that he portrays himself to be today. He
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: kind of became that over time, especially through affiliation with
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: certain artists including Rick Ross and stuff like that. So
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of sad in some ways because honestly,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: this Drake is going to take a hit from this.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Everything he's been doing is not being looked upon as
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: positive or comeback. Even the music, like, yeah, sure there's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: some people here and now who like it? But Drake
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: has to do something different. I know you don't want
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to go away. I know you don't want to feel
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: like you lost man, but you have to sit down
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: for a second because if you're doing more damage, you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: keep thinking you can do that, or I could go
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in here and I'm in Houston, y'all, and all of that,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and it just makes Hendrick's lyrics come to life every time.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: You as soon as you hear the music, be like, yeah,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: this new song is to pacify me. You know what
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Kendrick made was to electrify us. You hear the difference
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and you hear how mean rapper it can sound where
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I don't know if I like this
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff anymore from Drake, but I'll say this,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and this will be the last thing I'll say. I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: think if Drake digs back into what he used to be,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: everything could be cool, because you know I know this history, like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: oh that was my song and I have a whatever
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that Drake was just dope and it didn't matter where
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: he was from, right like it was Canada, but he
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: was making a dope record now, you know, trying to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: hop on everybody wave and sound like them, and you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: got a million ghostwriters and the simplest songs you didn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: even write like it's just looking bad. And I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: want to talk about it every day or every week,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: but I thought what Sauce Walker had to say it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: was interesting considering It's kind of what a lot of
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: us were thinking when we saw the residency in Texas.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: You know, like, wow, I wonder what brought this? You
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: know what brought this on? So there you have it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think about Drake and being a resident
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of Houston using Houston as a launching pad Houston, Atlanta, Vegas, anybody,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: but never really embracing the up and coming artists from
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that town in the way he did Atlanta. You know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: what do you think about Conway's top five Nicest Pin?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: My nicest Pen would be very different from his, even
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: though you know Hove would be there. What do you
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: think about that? And everything else you saw in this podcast?
