• 3:08
  Speaker 1: finally mostly this is coming from Premiere as of this recording,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: have finally put a date on their long awaited, anticipated
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and all mabated maybe who knows album is dropping December twelfth.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It is the last album in the mass appeal seven Icons,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: seven Legends, or maybe it's the other way around. Whatever
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: rollout of music that has for the most part been good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So NAS in Premiere on December twelfth is when we'll
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: get the final album. And you know, I'll have a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: special episode coming up once this album dropped too, obviously
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: review it, but also to review the whole rollout. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what were some of our favorite albums? You know, what
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: did we think about the overall rollout? What would we
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like to see in another rollout?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Is it another seven? You know who would that be?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that that'll be coming in December.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Big review of the album and the rollout I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I mean the NAS and Premier album in the rollout.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But he's my quick thoughts as far as as far
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: as like how things are feeling as we head into
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that album. Hold on, let me let me tweak, Let
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: me tweak the look real quick, y'all. Boom lighting, Let
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: there be light for our video, for our video watchers.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: How I feel headed into a December twelfth release of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a non the Premier album.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Let's just go back just a little bit.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I was never a hip hop fan who like craved
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a Nasen Premier album.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Now I know when you look.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: At if you fast forward back, Nasen Premier couldn't miss
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: right when you think about what Premier produced on Illmatic
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: right represent New York state of Mind. New York State
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of Mind probably my favorite record on Illmatic right. Then
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: over the years, the songs that Premier has produced with
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Nas like Nas is like you know what I'm saying.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Even New York State of Mind Part two was kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of crazy, and I think Premier did that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: So they they have a history. You can name a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: number of songs they've.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Done, you know, in the nineties for the most part
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that were crazy, that had people craving an album that's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: all Nas and Premiere. How could that be whack? But
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it never happened and literally decades past decades and now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that we have it announced and it's happening. I'm a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: little skeptical. I'm not gonna lie, and I'm gonna tell
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you why. It's a couple of variables.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: One, that's probably a little bit of pressure, and I'm
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: not talking about anybody who are haters.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: It's probably a little bit of pressure to.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: At least match the level that Nas and hip Boy collaborated, right,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: regardless of what you may feel. When I heard the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: beat to Speechless, I was like, my God, And that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: ain't the only beat that's tough that hip Boy produced.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: For Nas during that run.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But when I heard that alone, I was like, Yo,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: hip Boy got a bag, so it would be only right.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Nas in Premier, are you're crazy? Of course that's going
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to be crazy. And then they put out a song
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to announce it, and the song was cool.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It was cool.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It felt like it could be something. But all my
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: doubt doesn't come from everything I just said. For the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: most part, most of it comes from the fact that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: DJ Premier is he's kind of like stuck in a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: lane right now. I'm not saying he's stuck in the nineties,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of course not. And for his track record, so what right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But there was a time where DJ Premier. You couldn't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: predict his beats at all. You didn't know what you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: were going to get. And most of the time, if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent of the time, it was crazy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But in recent years, except for maybe Prime, and that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was because he was sort of being challenged, he has
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a very predictable style nowadays. And I'm not gonna lie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The minute I hear it, I'm almost like defeated. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: this is a crazy sample, but it's it's always put
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: together in a very similar way.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And that was never Premier.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So anybody who will say, yo, this is what Premier do,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: No no, go back and listen to Gangstar. You can
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: listen to one album. Premier could do the majority of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: majority of the beats on any album you pick, except
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for that first one, mister Knight's got no No, don't
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: pick that one. Okay, Premier will tell you don't pick
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that one, but you didn't. You couldn't predict them beats.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They all sound different, and Premier was on the boards.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Guru did some stuff too, but as far as what
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Premier did, it was not predictable at all. You can
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: even look at, okay, what he did for Nas in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: his heyday, none of those beats sound the same. Represent
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't sound like New York state of Mind. New York
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: state of Mind, don't sound like NAS is like right,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: but now every time it doesn't matter what artist he's with,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: typically including that announcement song. With NAS, there's a certain
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: included in this day album. There's a certain style that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he's comfortable with. So when he makes beats, they they're predictable.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: The rhythm of it is predictable. It could be a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: new sample, it could it could be a number of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: things that are different from that beat versus this beat,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but the rhythm is always going to be in a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: specific pocket. And I know there's some people you're not
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: really music fans like that, so you don't hear it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You're not really uh that deep with hip hop, And
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that's cool also, right, Like maybe just want something dope.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's the least he can do, is just
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: give you something dope. But this is nas in Premire,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: long awaited album, awaited since the nineties, making Magic together
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: as a duo for decades.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Granted I say decades, but Nasa ain't really use Premier
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in decades really, to be honest, go back and listen
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to the last. However, many albums Premire don't have a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: track on them. Okay, So it's one of those things
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: where I know what to expect from Premier production wise,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: but I kind of don't because there has to be
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: something in Premier that says, Okay, I did this album
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: with worse to five nine two albums called Prime well received.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: My production wasn't typical of what I typically do nowadays
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: when I make a beat, and people were receptive to that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I've had beats here and there that are kind.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Of my formula, and a few here and there that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: kind of stood out because they were actually different. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: NAS and hit Boy just put out six projects in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: what two and a half years or something like that,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and they generally they're all well accepted generally speaking. I'm
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: DJ Premier, this is NAS. We did this big role
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: out with all these MC's. Most of it was flames.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Damn there, ninety nine point nine percent of it was flames. Okay,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we are the finale. I can't give him just the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: boom boom bit record with a different baseline sample and
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the scratch of whatever what the name of the song is.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I can't do that on every record. I have to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have people lean into the speaker and say, permitted did this.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He's still in his bag.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It has to happen.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Look what Havoc did, Look what Pete did on this
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: New day line. There's been there's been some phenomenal Look
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: what Pharrell did with the clips. It's time for Primo
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to be like, there's a reason why I'm known as
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the guy over here. I am the doctor Dre of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the East Coast. So it's time to show up. But
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm optimistic, so we'll see. So again, Are you excited
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: for nas in premiere? Leave your comments in a comments
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: section below. Do you agree about Primo's more recent beats.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like there's a formula? Are you fine
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: with having an album full of beats that follow that formula?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Leave your comments in a comments section below. Next, we're
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: just talking about albums today, y'all. So Stove God Cooks
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: has a new album coming out, and if you've been
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: watching my show, you know that already because I talked
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: about it not too long ago. But now we have
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: some concrete information regarding his follow up to his classic
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: album Reasonable Drought. If you don't know who Stove God is,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: or you just heard them on the Clips and you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: said reasonable drought and you hear me calling it a classic.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Go plus Go, Go Plus Go press play slipping today,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Bars not slipping, Okay, but
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, once you press play,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But what's what's been weird
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: for most fans of that album in particular, which I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: believe dropped in twenty twenty or twenty twenty one one
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: or the other is there was never a follow up,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and that was because there was a dispute with the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: label and he wound up signing to Griselda, but he
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: couldn't release an album.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: He couldn't release his own music.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So that's why for the last couple of years, including
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Clips album, you've heard Stove God do hooks, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes the hooks are long, like a verse, right, so
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it's almost like he has a verse, but it's the hook.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But we want the album now. There was an EP
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that he released but it was quickly shut down called
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: stop Calling Me I'm Cooking, and a song with a
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Marvin Gaye sap I believe it's called Marvin.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Like was released or leaked or whatever.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: From that project not that long agough and you know
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: everybody loved it. But when I tell you, because I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: had that project, I was able to get it before
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it was pulled. It was crazy, right, it was. It
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is crazy.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if some of those songs will be
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on this album. I mean, considering when he dropped that EP,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it was gone in like a week or so where
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he couldn't sell it anymore. I would like to think
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that some of those songs will find their way onto
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: his new album, which is scheduled to be released in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty six. I think February twenty seventh
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and it's called Goat Stamp. Now,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I know there's a single release in this month and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: probably has released by the time I'm recording this episode.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And I'll just say this, I feel like Stove God
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: has momentum that may or may not be hard to recapture.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: In the next year, let alone in February.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Now, I know this is a contractual obligation. This is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: his last album on Baby Graham, which I assume was
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the label he had to dispute with, which also makes
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: me a little scared because don't give them the dud
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: because I like the fact that this dude's momentum off
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that clips feature had people who didn't even know who
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: he was anticipating him, and it made me feel like
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it's going to happen now. It's very clear, like I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: said in my previous episode, that jay Z is the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: guy who gets you off your deals, because it felt
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like Stove God was never getting out this deal.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And why do I say that?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Once I see you in rock Nation and all of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a sudden, now you got an album dropping. Hove did okay,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he did something, Hoe did something okay. Like he did
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it for the Clips, he's doing it for Stove God.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So I am.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Hopeful he's had a lot of time to build music.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I hope they select some of his finest work.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I hope he has so much dope music that even
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: this album with Baby Grand is enough to make keep
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the hype going. Basically, and again, I know a singles
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: getting ready to drop, but like in the last segment,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so is nas in premiere and whoever else may drop
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in between the time of Stove God finally releasing his
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: second album, official album in February. So I'm definitely hopeful
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'll keep listening to the music I have anticipating a
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: new single. I wish it was still coming out in November,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: but whatever, we can wait.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: You know, there'll be like.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: A whole holiday, you know, best of the year, like
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: once we hit January, things that feel like it's dried
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: up when it comes to hip hop, and you may
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: get a notable release or two in January, but that's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: just you know, maybe that's what will make it dope.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That Stove God is dropping by the end of February,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and you know we'll see. So are you a Stove
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: God Cooks fan? Are you finally as happy as I
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: am that he has an official album dropping? It's February
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: too far for you, I don't know. Leave the comments
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in the comments section below, And last listen, man, you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: saw the title that episode. I am not one of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: those old heads that only gets excited for old rappers
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: or old well let me not say that. Let me
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: stop saying old, but no, this is how people would
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: look at it. Old rappers, albums by old rappers, new
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: albums by old rappers, Like I'm not one of those
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: guys who thinks the music's good just because of what
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: they've done in the past. You are being judged by
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: what you release today because you're still active.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think any MC.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And I hope not feels like you should like their
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: music because of they what you've liked in the past.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: That's just not how it works. Now.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be disrespectful to the legends, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: they should be critiqued fairly. And that's what I'm here
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to do. So you know what I do when it
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: comes to reviewing albums. I give them three listens. The
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: first it's just to get my impressions. The second listen,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: now I'm listening a little deeply to what's being presented, lyrics, beats, skits,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: how everything works together, concept, theme, whatever. And then my
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: last listen is just to confirm my thoughts. And Dayla
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Soul's brand new album Cabin in the Sky, just for
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: those who need a quick review. His flames fire hot
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: almost unexpected but also expected.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I say that because when Daylat Soul and first of
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: all recipes todave True Goyd to Dove, but when day Soul,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you know it's having like the Tommy Boy dispute with
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: streaming and remember when they had I think it was
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a kickstarter for their next album that wound up being
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: nominated for a Grammy, But to most Daylight fans, it
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: was whack, including me. And what was whack about it?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: It was two different from what we were accustomed to.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And not to say that rappers who've been rapping for
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: as long as they have and releasing albums through decades
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and generations, that they have to stick to a formula.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But there was something unique about Daylight Soul's choice and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: beats choice in subject matter, bars, guest appearances that we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: were just accustomed to. And you don't need to roll
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: out the red carpet for all the people you used
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to rock with and keep making songs with them until
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the end of eternity. You can bring new people on
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: your project. Like with that album, they had two Chains
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: on it, but two Chains had the best verse, and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Two change. When he in the hip hop element, he
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: get busy. He just does.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He just happens to do traps sometimes. But when he
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in the hip hop element, he show up. And that
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: was telling, like, Yo, this day La Soul album isn't
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: what I thought it would be. And damn two Chains
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: got busy, Like I'm a little disappointed, and we know
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they got a Grammy nom but they could have got
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that for a number of albums in a catalog that
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: was just as good, I mean, well not just as good.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Better.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So now we bring you to Cabin in the Sky
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and we know that Dave, you know, one of the trio,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: passed away not too long ago. Everybody wondered what this
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: album would sound like, would Dave be featured, And this album,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Cabin in the Sky is basically dedicated to Dave in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Who does obviously appear on this
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: album rapping. He's the first rapping verse you hear on
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: this album. But it's done in such a classy way
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it didn't make It's similar to the Mob Deep situation.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: The Mob Deep album didn't necessarily make me sad that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Prodigy wasn't here. It made me proud to be a
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Mob Deep fan because it was like, even with our
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: brothers still, you know, even with our brother not here,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we can still give you one last good Mob Deep
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: album and meaningful and it doesn't sound like, you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a memorial service situation.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: That's how I feel like with Dave.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It's just done in a way where you know, the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: obvious but Daylight Soul came to get busy. So the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: album has twenty tracks, some of which are skits.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Some skits are tacked.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: On the end of songs or in the beginning, twenty
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: songs were in ten minutes.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Now hold up, don't get up. I'm just like you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I hear that, I'm like, Yo, twenty an
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: hour and ten, I don't know if I have that time.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I made time. And when I tell you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: It's worth it, it's worth to listen some of the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: guest appearances as you some of what you know Yummy Bingham,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: y'all know her right from so much More like I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: love that record. She's featured on Here a lot, Killer
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: mic is here, Q Tip is on this album. Now
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is as you know, Black Thought comments Slick Rick blau
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Star studied Affair. What I like about this album, just
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to kind of round things out, is Daylight Soul is
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: kind of known for skits. They kind of burst the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: eror of having a lot of skits on your album
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: back in the day. And I'm not the biggest fan
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of skits today as long as put it this way,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan if the skits are like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: meaningless to what's happening right, similar to ray kuon skits
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: right on his new album The Emperor's New Clothes. Except
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: for maybe one skit, those others could have gone they're meaningless,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: like they just don't match the opening skit.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Perfect, but the others was like.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: You didn't really necessarily need these, Whereas on Supreme Clientele Too,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I felt like a lot of those skits fit the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: tone of the album, and the same thing goes for
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: this with day La Soul. You start out with an intro. Wait,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: who's on the intro? Because I don't want to you know,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: we have a tendency to say the characters the actor played.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: But let's say the actor's name, Gianna Carlo Esposito. Okay,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you know him from Breaking.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Bad School Days. You know what I'm talking about.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The Mandalorian, you know, who is as a teacher in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a class taking attendance, and he's checking attendance and everybody
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: who he's whose names he's calling answers right, Nas, Pete, Rock,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: DJ Premier nots right, Q tip everybody, and then he
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: ends with you know, is PA's here?
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And Pod says what he says, you know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Like he ends with day La Soul, but he really
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: ends with Dave, is Dave here, and he says his
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: name a couple of times, and then the next song
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: hits and it's Dave rapping.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I thought that was really dope.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And I also like, you know, just to skip to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the end how they ended by thanking Dave. But it's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the teacher thanking him, and so it's a nice way
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to say. You know, you were saying, Dave, he's not here.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: We know that, right, we know he passed away, he's
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: not here, but at the end the teacher thanking him
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and saying thank you, Dave says he was present. And
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: if you listening to the whole album, the Present, especially
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a certain couple of songs where they, you know, the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: members of the Day I Soul speak directly to Dave,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: that's what they kind of say. He's with us. We
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: rather have him here with us, but he's with us,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: he's guiding us, he's keeping us, he's keeping us warm.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So to hear that at the end, after hearing you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the teacher called for Dave and to begining several times,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: just to have at the end to say he's present,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I just thought that was a nice touch. That was
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: just dope, right. But all in all, album wise, most
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of the beats just hit. I mean when I say most,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I mean damn.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: They're all.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Variety, boom back soul like it just hits. There were
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: times where I got a little scared, I ain't gonna
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: front where I heard, you know, old soul samples, you know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: not hip hopped up. You know, they weren't chopped up
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: for hip hop. They were primarily those samples where I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I don't want to dance, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I like the original record, but it's kind of throwing
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: me off.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: But then I realized they're not long. In some ways.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: They're used as interludes or innstitials for those who know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to kind of get you or segues right to kind
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of get you from one rhythm one thought from a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: song to another, right, but still meaningful, but where it's placed.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was a nice touch.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: So, you know, obviously, listening multiple times, it didn't bother me.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It was just initially I'm like, it's just going to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: be the record and everything goes downhill from there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: And that wasn't the case now for those who are
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: keeping score.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: When you think about the Pete Rock production versus the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: DJ Premier production. It's not a contest. For one, I
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: mean that in two ways, double Ontandre. It's not a
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: contest to pick these two legends together. But also it's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: not a contest. It's Pete Rock. Pete Rock's production as
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you saw with the song would or the album the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Auditorium Volume one would common. It's not predictable. It's just
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: not You have to hear him talking or hear somebody say.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Pete Rock, where we at? But blah blah blah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Whatever, and then we know, oh, pe Rock did to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be unless we go look. But if you just going
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: off of listening, I could spot the Premier beats. Like
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, I could spot them Clare's Day once.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: They hit and they weren't that bad to me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: They just was like, oh, this is cool Premire, this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: is what Premiere does. But when I first heard what's
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the joint the package, I'm going to say pause for
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the kids in the room. When I first heard that,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it made me smile. It felt good, Like the first
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: time I heard Award Tour. I was like, damn, Trip
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: is back and Daylight and Dave is on the hook.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: This feels good. Check the rhym used to feel good
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: when I heard that come on, like just good, like
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: like how people be like yo, you know hip hop
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: soul Like nah, there's some people who really make hip
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: hop so that give you the same feeling when you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: hear it, and the package sound like that. So again,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and this album is one of the best of the year,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and with my Best of the Year episode coming up,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of work. There are a lot
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of albums that are worthy of being in my top
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: five or even just being mentioned as best of the year.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: But in the last let's say, three or four months,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I've had to move things out because something better was
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: made available. So have you heard Dayla Soul's brand new album,
