• 1:14
  Speaker 4: a couple of people that they were questioning as far
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: as where these people are. These people are on the road.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: But that's whole point for doing this is to unify
• 1:25

  Speaker 3: That picture that all of y'all took at the end,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: what's the significance of that?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, our politics is a lot different
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: than anywhere else in the country. So when you see
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: certain things like that, that's not normal. When you see
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: certain clicks, crew sections, certain people, a collection of people,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: especially people that were on my set. You know a
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: lot of people from different sections that don't necessarily collaborate
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: with other sections. So for us to be able to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: do that, shout out to all of the homies and
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the homegirls. But you know, for holding it down when
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: we're having rehearsals, I just kind of huddled everybody up
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: and was like, look, bro, I know where y'all from.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I know where you're from. But the next ten, the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: next week, we're doing this like we all in the
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: same game. And so everybody got on the cord and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: it was beautiful.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Bro, Well, hold on, let's let's talk to some let's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: talk to DJ Had some more when we come back.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred and five eight five one on five to one. Djhad,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of course, he was one of Kendrick Lamore's friends performing
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: on that stage last night. He opened it up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: We had had his own set, had set a different artist.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Now now I got an ass head was performing not
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: like us six times part of it? Or was it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: just a feeling because it just felt like it was
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: just such an amazing feeling, like he just had to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: do it over and over and over again.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't know.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Now Here's the thing. I knew about my set. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: only knew about a couple of things on his set,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: but a lot of stuff we didn't know, Like it
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: was kind of compartmentalized. I had a lot to worry
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: about from my set. It was a lot to wrangle everybody,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: and you know, be a contributor, So I didn't really
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: pay attention to what he was doing for his rehearsals
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: and his sets and stuff like that. So it was
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: a surprise to me, and I think it was off
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: pure energy.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Honestly, man, you had me googling a bunch of artists
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: last night ahead I told you this. I was googling
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: people because there was a lot of these people that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you brought out I had never heard of.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But they had some slaps.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Hey, slappers, blaffers, and blammers. That's all We're doing, joints
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and jams for the rest of twenty twenty four. That's
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: what you're gonna get from the West. Slappers, flappers, blamers,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: joints and jams. Envy, I need that in the People's
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Choice Mixed.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I like Gray Bond and I like all them dudes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That was flamed up. Dude, what's that? What's they called.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: You talking about? The homie jay Worthy and the wolves?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They called me wos Yes, sir.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah they are. You know, you had his old
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: so I'm gonna do his thing, kleb for real, for real,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: cheap rio. It was a bunch of people on there
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: that I'm sure, like a lot of people wasn't familiar
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: with and they were just learning in real time like you.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask, you know, with all those
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: different artists from so many different hoods and so many
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: different sets, how do you keep the peace like that?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Because you know, you know how it is. Last night,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: it's all peaceful, and then tomorrow we go back to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the block and things never change. So how do we
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: make sure that it remains like that?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you have to leave by example. You know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Charlotte Maine always tell me the best apology has changed behavior.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: So I think the best way we can do that
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: for ourselves has changed the behavior that we've seen in
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the past, where we return to those to return to
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: that negative energy. And so I think from now till
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: for the foreseeable future, you're going to see a lot
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: more collaborations. Even after the cameras went off, you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the Homies was in the parking lot, like, yo, man,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: maybe we can do a feature, Maybe we can do this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we never thought about collaborating before because this
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: person is from the other side of the track. So
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: it was just a beautiful thing to see.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Well, hey man, I told you, man, the West deserved it,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: you know, y'all, y'all deserved that moment and I'm glad
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that y'all.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Put on for the city the way that y'all did yesterday.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And I was I was even saying this weekend when
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I was out there, it felt like that wasn't a
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: concert for outsiders, Like it felt like.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: We were supposed to watch it at home on Amazon.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: It felt so la, so West Coast, so Inglewood, so comptent,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: so watched like that moment was for y'all.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad the world got to see that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Man, absolutely what man, I am too. I appreciate y'all
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: supporting us. You know what I'm saying, West Coast?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Now, had I got to ask one last question. Now
• 5:36

• 5:39
  Speaker 2: with Nas and j. We've seen it with fifty in
• 5:43

  Speaker 2: you think Drake and Kendrick could ever be gold and cordial? Again?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think you don't want that? I'm not talking you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You hate light skin people. I'm asking light skinned people

  Speaker 4: Let me. Okay, I'm gonna answer that question. Answer that question,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: what as you want? Is it possible for a country
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: ass Negro from Month's Corner, South Carolina, with a list
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: to talk for a living and being a radio hall
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: of fame.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's possible.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: It's a slim chance, but it was possible.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: That's my answer.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So it's possible. I hope not. I don't want to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: see that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: That was one of the things that I was worried
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: about last night, that Kendrick might have went to go
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: see his therapist. Kendrick might have went to go see
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: his spiritual adviser, and he might have came out there
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and chose peace. When he started with euphoria, I was like, oh, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: dot this yeah, yes.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean, this is this is him just
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: you know, staking his claim. I heard you say earlier,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you know, undisputed, you know, taking this crown. I told
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: him that, you know, before the show, we was talking
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and I was like, bro, don't run away from it,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: lean into it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: On it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: This is your ship. And he's like, yeah, I'm on
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: it all right.

• 7:17
  Speaker 3: but you said Snoop was on tour. That's why he
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: wasn't there. You didn't say it nowhere.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know where Snoop is, but
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I know like when I asked, like where certain people where,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: there's like, oh, certain people's on the road. It wasn't.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: It wasn't down who told me. It was just other
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: people who was working. I was like, Yo, we're on
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: so like, oh, they on the road or you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: they couldn't make it or whatever the case may be.
