- 7:01Speaker 3: I'm looking for any reason to fall out with anybody

- 7:05Speaker 2: It can go down. I don't give a damn. I
- 7:07Speaker 2: just need you off my guest list.

- 7:12Speaker 2: Would you like me to explain why you don't have
- 7:14Speaker 2: your link?
- 7:14Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
- 7:16Speaker 4: No. Let's go ahead.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Because everybody else on the trip got their link and
- 7:20Speaker 3: did what they needed to do.
- 7:21Speaker 4: I did mine.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Everybody else.
- 7:23Speaker 4: I took care of mine. It's always you.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Everybody else.
- 7:26Speaker 4: I want to pay my little money now.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I know you do.
- 7:28Speaker 4: I know you do.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I know you do.
- 7:29Speaker 4: But you need to get yourself together. Sometimes you got
- 7:33Speaker 4: to get yourself together. Okay. I'm trying to tell them.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Get yourself together first. Thank you. I am together. No,
- 7:42Speaker 4: he was unsure. All right, now we're taking it too far. Okay.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Now you want to wrap it up. You're about to
- 7:47Speaker 2: turn my mic off now.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Here you go. I know what to do with them. Yep,
- 7:55Speaker 4: that'll be it.
- 7:56Speaker 2: But yes, you will get your link.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Okay, thank you.
- 7:59Speaker 2: As long as we don't fall out first.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and jump to it, man.
- 8:07Speaker 4: How about this?
- 8:08Speaker 1: In news, first of all, has anybody watched the Jay-Z
- 8:12Speaker 1: HBO documentary?
- 8:14Speaker 2: I actually tried to.
- 8:16Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you the truth. I can't get it. Oh,
- 8:18Speaker 4: come on, my God.
- 8:19Speaker 2: What's that?
- 8:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I tried. It started off good. But boy, when
- 8:23Speaker 4: I told you I was nodding off on that one,
- 8:25Speaker 4: I was like... Jay-Z put me to sleep.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie to you. I love Hov.
- 8:30Speaker 2: But I feel like Jay-Z talk like his battery died. Like,
- 8:33Speaker 2: that's just how he talk.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I'm not going, dog.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I love Hov.
- 8:37Speaker 4: I said 80?
- 8:38Speaker 2: If you ever.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Yes, if you listen to Jay-Z speak, he talks like
- 8:43Speaker 3: his battery's dying.
- 8:44Speaker 4: No, he does not. Yes, he does.
- 8:46Speaker 1: That is a very, these are introspective conversations where you
- 8:50Speaker 1: see the lyrics and what he was thinking.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Man, it was beautiful. Tone, I was reading.
- 8:56Speaker 5: A gray screen for about 30 minutes. And I felt
- 8:59Speaker 5: it started good.
- 9:00Speaker 4: I was like, OK. They start playing music immediately. So
- 9:03Speaker 4: I was in it. And then about 10 minutes in,
- 9:05Speaker 4: I was.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Like.
- 9:09Speaker 4: I don't know what he said. This is boring. It is.
- 9:13Speaker 4: It shouldn't be eight of them.
- 9:15Speaker 5: I think he could have did one good interview, one
- 9:17Speaker 5: hour and a half interview and been done.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Now, what I would say it needed. It is too much.
- 9:23Speaker 1: It's way too much. What I would say it needed.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And maybe it's coming. Maybe it's coming. I thought it
- 9:31Speaker 1: was going to be. I enjoyed it, Jay. But I felt,
- 9:34Speaker 1: and I'm a Jay-Z fan, super fan. I felt like
- 9:38Speaker 1: we should have got moments that we hadn't seen. So
- 9:41Speaker 1: maybe some documented stuff or undocumented stuff that we hadn't seen,
- 9:46Speaker 1: video footage or him on tour, some BTS, and got
- 9:51Speaker 1: a little bit more Jay-Z personality intertwined with them lyrics.
- 9:55Speaker 1: That's what I was really looking for, but it was
- 9:58Speaker 1: just lyrics. I appreciated it, but his battery wasn't dying.
- 10:03Speaker 1: And Zach, I don't know, none of the people that
- 10:06Speaker 1: you love could have did this. There's not one single
- 10:09Speaker 1: rapper that you love could have did this.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Who?
- 10:12Speaker 5: Listen, the rappers that I love definitely didn't need to
- 10:15Speaker 5: do it. I don't want to hear, don't nobody need
- 10:17Speaker 5: to talk to nobody in the dark. for eight hours
- 10:22Speaker 5: sitting indigenous style. That's what they was doing. Sitting indigenous style,
- 10:27Speaker 5: looking at each other.
- 10:28Speaker 4: What is that? Indigenous People Day.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I wish we had.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Some audio of Jay-Z talking so I could just prove
- 10:36Speaker 3: my point. He really talked like his battery is on low.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I couldn't make it to the second episode.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I know.
- 10:45Speaker 4: I was like, this is what you call boring. I
- 10:48Speaker 4: was entertained. And I'm so sorry.
- 10:50Speaker 5: And I know Jay-Z fans, y'all love him, and he's
- 10:53Speaker 5: a great rapper, and he puts words together like no other.
- 10:56Speaker 4: But I felt like I was in class. It did
- 10:58Speaker 4: feel a little classroomy. I was tired. A little bit.
- 11:01Speaker 4: A little classroomy.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
- 11:03Speaker 4: A little classroomy.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Again, if I could have helped, not that I know anything,
- 11:09Speaker 1: I just would have been like, Jay-Z, I promise you,
- 11:12Speaker 1: as a person that have watched And listen to everything
- 11:14Speaker 1: you've ever put out for your entire career. I was
- 11:18Speaker 1: there the whole way through it. Bought the CDs. I
- 11:21Speaker 1: was there.
- 11:21Speaker 5: They was like, can I get a what, what?
- 11:24Speaker 4: Stop. Now, what did you mean when you said a what, what?
- 11:28Speaker 5: Well, you know, a what, what could be a lot
- 11:31Speaker 5: of things. You know, what, what starts with a W.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 11:36Speaker 5: And when you say what, water could be something that
- 11:41Speaker 5: you need because it's essential.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Yeah. Wind, like Earth, Wind & Fire, that was one
- 11:45Speaker 4: of my favorite groups. And the what, what? You'd be like, oh, God!
- 11:49Speaker 2: Jay-Z!
- 11:50Speaker 1: Jay!
- 11:51Speaker 4: Cut it out! Oh, no. Jay, hurry up! Right when he.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Got through that, it should have been some BTS. Some
- 11:59Speaker 1: stuff with him and his daughter. Like, seeing him interact
- 12:02Speaker 1: with his daughter. Seeing behind-the-scenes footage of him talking to
- 12:05Speaker 1: Beyoncé and them going through... Like, I would like... Some
- 12:09Speaker 1: of my favorite... Favorite stuff is when he's in studio.
- 12:13Speaker 1: We've all seen it in studio with him and Pharrell
- 12:15Speaker 1: and Timbaland. Those are some interesting moments because you see
- 12:19Speaker 1: how he— Yes, because there was other interesting people with him.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He needed Dame Dash so bad.
- 12:23Speaker 4: No, get out. All right, now we gone, man.
- 12:26Speaker 1: That's somebody who would have at least made it entertaining.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Or Kanye.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Kanye.
- 12:31Speaker 5: He needs some entertaining people around him. Because Jay-Z and
- 12:34Speaker 5: that man in that beard, Rick Rubin.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Manning that beard is one of the best. Oh, my God.
- 12:40Speaker 4: They were boring. Okay. All right, man. Y'all don't respect
- 12:44Speaker 4: old people, man. But how about this?
- 12:46Speaker 1: The Yankee Stadium tour, well, Yankee Stadium shows, basically, the
- 12:51Speaker 1: amount of money that he made is crazy.
- 12:54Speaker 4: He sold over the, what was it?
- 12:56Speaker 1: Each performance, 45,000 tickets were sold, and each show generated, $ 14. 1 million.
- 13:04Speaker 1: So it resulted in a net revenue.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Of $ 42, 000, which is $ 42 million. I was about to
- 13:09Speaker 4: say that. What?
- 13:10Speaker 2: $ 42, 000.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Yeah. That's what I made for the year.
- 13:22Speaker 6: Me and Jay-Z did the same number.
- 13:26Speaker 4: 42 million, you dick. That's amazing.
- 13:31Speaker 2: I love that. No doubt about it, they be rich.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Now, whether we enjoyed that documentary or whatever, we know
- 13:37Speaker 3: Hope is about his paper and he gonna figure out
- 13:39Speaker 3: how to make the most.
- 13:41Speaker 2: So that's great.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Shout out to Jay-Z. Shout out to him.
- 13:45Speaker 1: There's also a story that Jermaine Dupri was talking about
- 13:48Speaker 1: artists were complaining because, you know, a lot of tours
- 13:50Speaker 1: are getting canceled midway through.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Yep.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And they're saying that, yo, the artists like, we're not
- 13:54Speaker 1: getting good marketing budgets. Like, we're not getting this big
- 13:57Speaker 1: rollout marketing so nobody knows about our shows. That's why
- 14:01Speaker 1: nobody's going to buy our tickets. And Jermaine Dupri stepped
- 14:05Speaker 1: in and said, no, it's because y'all don't have no hits.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Y'all need hits to tour.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Yikes. It was kind of true, though.
- 14:12Speaker 5: I wasn't mad at him because I think it was...
- 14:15Speaker 5: He was commenting on somebody who was like, hey, these
- 14:18Speaker 5: tours have canceled. But then you look at people like
- 14:20Speaker 5: Chris Brown and Usher who sold out. You know what
- 14:23Speaker 5: I'm saying? And they're doing stadiums. People are picking and choosing.
- 14:26Speaker 5: I do think the economy has something to do with it.
- 14:28Speaker 5: But people are picking and choosing where they're going to
- 14:31Speaker 5: spend their money. And they're going to spend their money
- 14:32Speaker 5: with the people that they know they're going to have
- 14:33Speaker 5: a good time with. The people that they know the songs.
- 14:38Speaker 5: A lot of people don't have hit records. Y'all got
- 14:40Speaker 5: two songs.
- 14:41Speaker 2: That's true.
- 14:42Speaker 4: That's not enough for us. Or start playing smaller venues.
- 14:46Speaker 5: I like going, like, I saw Lil Wayne in the
- 14:50Speaker 5: height of Lil Wayne at a smaller venue. Like, it
- 14:52Speaker 5: wasn't that he couldn't fill up a bigger spot. It
- 14:56Speaker 5: was just, that was the vibe he wanted for this show.
- 15:00Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? So, don't be mad at
- 15:02Speaker 5: getting smaller venues artists either. Like, get what you can
- 15:05Speaker 5: fill up easily. It's a tough time for the music industry.
- 15:09Speaker 5: The money is not there. A lot of artists are getting.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Really, to be honest with you, the only people that
- 15:15Speaker 1: are trying to make music, in a sense, they want
- 15:17Speaker 1: to get famous. They want to get famous. They want
- 15:20Speaker 1: to have the jewelry. They want chicks. They want the access.
- 15:23Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a lot of musicians. They're like, yo,
- 15:26Speaker 1: I got to get this out because I know the
- 15:27Speaker 1: world going to love this. They going to love this.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I'm going to change the way people. You know what
- 15:31Speaker 1: I mean? Like, you think about artists like Kanye. You
- 15:34Speaker 1: think about artists like Jeezy. Even Rick Ross and all
- 15:37Speaker 1: these different artists. They had stuff that they had to
- 15:39Speaker 1: get out. 50 Cent had something he had to get out.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And that's why the records last forever. Ja Rule, stuff
- 15:46Speaker 1: I got to get out. And I think that's where
- 15:49Speaker 1: we at right now. There's just no money in it.
- 15:51Speaker 1: And shout out to one of my friends. He is
- 15:54Speaker 1: a friend of a basketball player. He called me, asked me, said, hey, man,
- 15:57Speaker 1: what's going on with the artists, dog? I just got
- 15:59Speaker 1: to ask a question because they were asking to get
- 16:05Speaker 1: a couple artists, I'm not going to say their names,
- 16:07Speaker 1: just come sing at his birthday party.
- 16:09Speaker 4: He's an athlete, makes a lot of money.
- 16:11Speaker 1: And he was like, bro, one artist asked for half
- 16:14Speaker 1: a million dollars for four songs. 72,000 for three songs.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It's crazy. And I was like, hey, bro, they're not
- 16:24Speaker 1: making no money.
- 16:25Speaker 4: No.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And that's what I think it kind of stems from.
- 16:29Speaker 3: I think there's no lack of artists and creatives who
- 16:31Speaker 3: really want to put out music and really want to
- 16:33Speaker 3: be successful in that and really want to use their gifts.
- 16:36Speaker 3: I just think they've come to the realization, I'm not
- 16:38Speaker 3: getting paid from this. And that's in a lot of
- 16:40Speaker 3: different industries, even our industry. A lot of people are
- 16:43Speaker 3: just like, I'm not making money. You know what I'm saying? Like,
- 16:45Speaker 3: no matter how much I love it, I'm not making
- 16:47Speaker 3: money from it. So, like, why would I keep doing it?
- 16:49Speaker 3: And I think they're trying to find other avenues.
- 16:51Speaker 2: So, like, you got an up and coming artist, whatever.
- 16:56Speaker 3: They're not going to keep trying to put out music
- 16:58Speaker 3: because the label, I mean, streaming is not paying them.
- 17:01Speaker 3: So it pays them to go make merch. It pays
- 17:03Speaker 3: them to go find a TV role or something that
- 17:05Speaker 3: they can go on. It pays for them to do
- 17:07Speaker 3: reality TV and other things. And I think that's why
- 17:09Speaker 3: we're not getting the quality of music because they're not
- 17:11Speaker 3: getting paid to make it.
- 17:13Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 17:13Speaker 3: Studio time, producers, stuff, all that costs. Then if they
- 17:16Speaker 3: go in there and try to use ChatGPT and AI,
- 17:18Speaker 3: we don't want it. So it's like, what am I
- 17:20Speaker 3: supposed to do as an artist? We got Boosie online
- 17:22Speaker 3: talking about how he charged his fans $ 600 to $ 10, 000
- 17:24Speaker 3: for a picture at this point. that lets you know
- 17:29Speaker 3: that artists ain't getting paid off the music, you know?
- 17:32Speaker 3: So it'd be like, they in a, I think they're,
- 17:34Speaker 3: they're being forced in a desperate situation. And we just
- 17:37Speaker 3: kind of seeing the effects of that. That's why I
- 17:39Speaker 3: have a basketball player back in the day. I feel
- 17:41Speaker 3: like what I watch as a kid, if a basketball
- 17:43Speaker 3: player reached out for an artist to come to their
- 17:45Speaker 3: birthday party, it's off the love. They'll come pull up
- 17:48Speaker 3: on you, do a couple of songs and you make
- 17:50Speaker 3: sure they sit courtside for the season or something like
- 17:52Speaker 3: it's people, you should do stuff off the love.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Ain't no love in it no more.
- 17:56Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 17:57Speaker 3: Everybody has to be paid something and they're trying to
- 18:00Speaker 3: feed their family so that's why they won't have a ticket.
- 18:03Speaker 3: The ones who got the hits won't have a ticket
- 18:06Speaker 3: to do anything because they know that that may be
- 18:08Speaker 3: the only booking they get for the year or whatever
- 18:10Speaker 3: and they trying to live off of it. So I
- 18:12Speaker 3: just think artists because of streaming, because of social media,
- 18:15Speaker 3: because of the record label structure now is just, they're
- 18:17Speaker 3: in a desperate situation.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And I'm not mad at Apple Music but The fact
- 18:22Speaker 1: that you can have everybody music for $ 10 a month
- 18:24Speaker 1: is crazy.
- 18:25Speaker 3: These artists making less than a penny off of their
- 18:28Speaker 3: hit songs.
- 18:29Speaker 4: You can have $ 10 a month. You can have everything.
- 18:33Speaker 4: You got to have billions of streams to be making
- 18:35Speaker 4: some real money. You know how hard that is?
- 18:37Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is that it's the math of it, right?
- 18:43Speaker 1: Like we know, okay, yeah, when you look at it,
- 18:45Speaker 1: let's say you open a restaurant. I buy a pound
- 18:47Speaker 1: of shrimp. A pound of shrimp.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Costs $ 10.
- 18:49Speaker 1: $ 5, whatever the case may be. I'm going to sell
- 18:52Speaker 1: it for $ 20. You know where your margins is because
- 18:55Speaker 1: you know how much it costs. It costs so much.
- 19:00Speaker 1: To make a record, it varies. And they just came
- 19:03Speaker 1: up with some type of metric for a stream that
- 19:06Speaker 1: And it ain't a true return on investment. It's not
- 19:09Speaker 1: even a true return on investment. That's always been my
- 19:12Speaker 1: thought with streaming. Like, who came up with the math?
- 19:15Speaker 4: Exactly. Who came up?
- 19:17Speaker 5: What did you say? Why did you say point, point?
- 19:20Speaker 5: How many streams is point, point, point sent? Well, I
- 19:23Speaker 5: just think that the record labels had to agree with it.
- 19:26Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 19:26Speaker 5: Because they wouldn't Apple Music and these different streamings. places
- 19:29Speaker 5: wouldn't be able to play the music legally and put
- 19:31Speaker 5: it on their platform if the record labels didn't agree
- 19:34Speaker 5: so the record label somebody's getting paid still in my
- 19:37Speaker 5: opinion and i think it's the record labels and they're
- 19:39Speaker 5: just not giving it to the artists no.
- 19:40Speaker 3: More it's you know it's always somebody at the top
- 19:43Speaker 3: getting paid great but the actual creatives are not and
- 19:47Speaker 3: then you got to fight the algorithm if you don't
- 19:49Speaker 3: put money into the algorithm they would your algorithm can
- 19:52Speaker 3: convince you that Quavo didn't just put out a great
- 19:54Speaker 3: album yeah but we all said and listened and enjoyed
- 19:57Speaker 3: it yeah you know I'm saying but they telling us
- 19:58Speaker 3: is bad but the overall what the algorithm would tell
- 20:01Speaker 3: you is that it's a bad album so the person
- 20:03Speaker 3: that may not know or listen directly is then they're
- 20:06Speaker 3: just going off what the algorithm is teaching them. So
- 20:08Speaker 3: now he didn't waste his time and money making this
- 20:10Speaker 3: solid project because he ain't bought.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Enough of the algorithm to get it out there. So
- 20:16Speaker 2: it's like, as an artist.
- 20:19Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it.
- 20:21Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 20:21Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it. Who can you call? Physical sales, baby!
- 20:26Speaker 2: Who can you call?
- 20:27Speaker 3: I don't know how to hog tap people. If I'm
- 20:29Speaker 3: an artist, I would literally be screaming like R.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Kelly. I don't know how to win this.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a nasty, and then you watch people like,
- 20:39Speaker 1: you know, the ones at the top are going to
- 20:40Speaker 1: always make money. You watch the people like Drake, you're
- 20:42Speaker 1: looking at what Drake had on the FOMO, people looking
- 20:45Speaker 1: at all the things, they're like, God damn. But Drake
- 20:48Speaker 1: got to deal with this actual streaming service.
- 20:50Speaker 3: He do, but I mean, even Drake, his stuff is probably,
- 20:54Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen him sue his label and everything
- 20:56Speaker 3: that he went through, so even it's not even right
- 20:58Speaker 3: for Drake. Can you imagine what it's looking like for
- 21:00Speaker 3: a B artist? You know, it's like, The.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Middle is what's killing. I'm going to tell you. What's
- 21:05Speaker 1: killing the genre right now, the middle ain't popping. It's
- 21:09Speaker 1: either you good or you ain't. It's really Drake, Gay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, future.
- 21:15Speaker 1: It's the top, top, top that make the records. And
- 21:19Speaker 1: then it's no middle. And no shade to what I'm
- 21:23Speaker 1: about to say.
- 21:24Speaker 4: Careful. I'm about to say it. I got my list.
- 21:28Speaker 4: But you got like a Ja Rule.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Now, why did Ja Rule? Ja Rule is a solidified hitmaker.
- 21:34Speaker 4: He is a solidified hitmaker.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Top of his game when he was at this time.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Top of his game.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Drake before Drake, just in case we clear.
- 21:41Speaker 4: So, you look at.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I knew this was coming. I know why he did that.
- 21:45Speaker 1: But no, because you look at when Ja Rule was out,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and this is no shade to Ja Rule.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Ja Rule was at the top, though. It was Eminem.
- 21:52Speaker 4: He was in a tough era. It was Eminem. But
- 21:55Speaker 4: he was at the top. Jay-Z... Slow down. Ja Rule...
- 21:59Speaker 4: It was Eminem, Jay-Z... Nelly. Nelly. Ja Rule was right
- 22:05Speaker 4: there with him. Nelly, who was it? Who was it?
- 22:07Speaker 4: It's another. You got to say why DMX was alive. No,
- 22:10Speaker 4: but he surpassed DMX for a little bit. Did he? No.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Ja Rule surpassed. Yeah, he definitely did. Hold on. I
- 22:16Speaker 4: want to be clear. I want to be clear, Tom.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Ja was Drake before Drake.
- 22:20Speaker 1: 100%.
- 22:20Speaker 4: And Ja Rule surpassed all those people. But he wasn't.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Ja Rule was not considered one of them. It was
- 22:26Speaker 1: only like four of them at the top. But what
- 22:30Speaker 1: I want to say, like, when you go under the top,
- 22:33Speaker 1: it was the Lutus, Ja Rule, It was a crazy middle.
- 22:39Speaker 4: It was a crazy, crazy, crazy middle. It wasn't like...
- 22:42Speaker 4: It wasn't. That's all I'm saying. No, it wasn't no.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Because when I say top of the tier, we're talking
- 22:48Speaker 1: about a person that could sell out by themselves the stadiums.
- 22:52Speaker 4: There's always.
- 22:53Speaker 1: No matter what we're talking about, there's the top tier
- 22:57Speaker 1: artist that can do stadiums by himself. Go there, sell
- 22:59Speaker 1: it out. Ja Rule wasn't that. He wasn't the guy
- 23:02Speaker 1: that could go by himself. But he was still strong.
- 23:05Speaker 1: What I'm saying is the B-tier artist was strong.
- 23:09Speaker 5: But to me, and it's just to me, I wasn't
- 23:11Speaker 5: buying tickets at that time. So what I'm trying to
- 23:14Speaker 5: say is during Ja Rule, the height of Ja Rule,
- 23:17Speaker 5: he was not.
- 23:17Speaker 4: A B-tier artist. He was an A-tier artist at the
- 23:21Speaker 4: height of Ja Rule.
- 23:22Speaker 5: He was in the same, he was, if you look
- 23:24Speaker 5: at his numbers, when Jay-Z and everybody that you think
- 23:27Speaker 5: is his A-tier was dropping, when he was dropping too,
- 23:30Speaker 5: I remember going.
- 23:31Speaker 1: He never compared himself to nothing that Jay-Z did.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Don't do that. Don't do that to him. I don't know.
- 23:36Speaker 5: Jay-Z's... Jay-Z's never had a number one record. Jay-Z's never
- 23:38Speaker 5: had a number one.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
- 23:41Speaker 4: What are you talking about? When you're talking about... Yes. Yes,
- 23:43Speaker 4: he has had a number one album.
- 23:44Speaker 1: When you're talking about... You're talking about... He's 100% single.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I guarantee Ja Rule got more than number one.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. Put up Ja Rule singles versus Jay-Z singles. Okay.
- 23:53Speaker 7: What?
- 23:53Speaker 4: You getting caught up in the nostalgia of who Jay-Z is.
- 23:57Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
- 23:57Speaker 4: I was there for both of them. Y'all were kids.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I was out partying, standing on couches while y'all was
- 24:03Speaker 1: doing homework. I'm telling you, I was introducing it. Tell
- 24:06Speaker 1: me about Reasonable Doubt then. When it first dropped, it
- 24:09Speaker 1: went number one?
- 24:09Speaker 4: No, it didn't.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It was a niche. He was a niche artist. I'm
- 24:13Speaker 1: not talking about Reasonable Doubt. I'm not talking about Reasonable Doubt.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I'm talking about Jay after In My Lifetime took off.
- 24:21Speaker 1: We talking about somebody that ran hip-hop for 10 summers straight.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I'm not down to Ja Rule. Ja Rule was in
- 24:28Speaker 1: an era. Like, who said it? Nelly said it. He
- 24:32Speaker 1: nearly said it. That era of hip-hop was insane. It
- 24:37Speaker 1: was literally insane. It's literally insane.
- 24:40Speaker 2: So I think the difference here is.
- 24:45Speaker 2: It's just, okay.
- 24:46Speaker 3: So Jay-Z's number one songs on Billboard, if we're just
- 24:49Speaker 3: being technical, are features on Mariah Carey's song.
- 24:55Speaker 4: He's had four.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Featured on Beyonce's song. Featured on Rihanna's song. And featured
- 25:00Speaker 3: with Alicia Keys.
- 25:02Speaker 4: And Ja Rule has three number ones.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Now, Ja Rule songs, we know that they're Ja Rule songs.
- 25:06Speaker 4: And they were Ja Rule records.
- 25:08Speaker 2: And he wrote, yeah.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Wait a minute. What are the number ones, though? Let's go.
- 25:13Speaker 2: I'm Real, which he wrote.
- 25:15Speaker 4: And Gone.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Always on Time, which he wrote. And Ain't It Funny,
- 25:19Speaker 2: which he wrote. The murder remix.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Those all had amazing hooks, too.
- 25:24Speaker 2: That he wrote.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I love Jay-Z, but he didn't write Umbrella. He didn't
- 25:30Speaker 4: write Heartbreaker by Mariah Carey, either.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Maybe he did. That's a reach now.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Maybe he did.
- 25:37Speaker 3: We love Hov in this house, and there's been a
- 25:39Speaker 3: lot of Hov slander this episode, so I don't want
- 25:41Speaker 3: to get uninvited to Rock Nation.
- 25:42Speaker 4: We're not going to nothing Rock Nation, by the way.
- 25:44Speaker 3: I just want to say, we should not compare greats
- 25:49Speaker 3: because Ja Rule was in a lane of his own,
- 25:53Speaker 3: and so was Hov. And I just think Hov is
- 25:58Speaker 3: an artist slash businessman, entrepreneur in hip-hop's 110%. At the
- 26:04Speaker 3: peak of his career, he went to go do president
- 26:06Speaker 3: of this and do all that type stuff.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Ja Rule is an artist. He is a creative. He
- 26:11Speaker 2: is an entrepreneur.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong.
- 26:13Speaker 3: He has business deals. But he, at the soul, is
- 26:16Speaker 3: a songwriter. And he made hit records that will last forever.
- 26:21Speaker 3: My lifetime, your lifetime, and he can perform today.
- 26:25Speaker 4: I will. You never going to hear me say that.
- 26:27Speaker 2: So to call him a B artist is crazy.
- 26:29Speaker 4: That's what I was saying. That wasn't right. So maybe
- 26:32Speaker 4: the word B. B artist wasn't right.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Maybe the word B does not sound right. But I'm
- 26:36Speaker 1: talking about from a person that was there. There always
- 26:39Speaker 1: is a.
- 26:42Speaker 4: top tier of artistry.
- 26:44Speaker 1: There is going to be the people, like I explained,
- 26:46Speaker 1: that can sell out a stadium by their sales.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Just use somebody else other than Ja Rule. Which is Jay-Z.
- 26:53Speaker 4: That's right.
- 26:54Speaker 5: Just use somebody else other than Ja Rule. Because that
- 26:57Speaker 5: wasn't the... Use your favorite.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Use Jeezy.
- 26:59Speaker 3: I like.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Jee.
- 27:02Speaker 5: Jeezy was not a B artist at his height.
- 27:05Speaker 4: Jeezy was not his height. At his height. Jeezy was
- 27:07Speaker 4: one of the best.
- 27:08Speaker 2: But first, y'all want to use my favorite.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Use his favorite. Okay, so let's just say A1, A2. Jeezy,
- 27:13Speaker 4: Ja Rule, all these people that we're talking about were A. Okay,
- 27:15Speaker 4: I'm finna give you some B artists. Please. Chingy, Jaquan.
- 27:22Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it was people who had good songs, but
- 27:24Speaker 1: they weren't A artists. Ja Rule, Jeezy, Jay-Z, Nelly, were
- 27:29Speaker 1: A artists. These were A artists. We had some Bs,
- 27:35Speaker 1: but it wasn't. That was like, in my opinion, those
- 27:38Speaker 1: people instill good records Those are C tier. What I'm
- 27:43Speaker 1: saying is the big artists sell out stadiums. The mid artists,
- 27:47Speaker 1: the mid artists are the one below that.
- 27:50Speaker 4: So that's A1, A2. Because there's no way that I'm
- 27:53Speaker 4: going to sit and say Ja Rule.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I mean, Ja Rule, I'm looking at it, has sold
- 27:56Speaker 1: over 30 million records worldwide.
- 27:58Speaker 4: There's not many people in the world walking around.
- 28:01Speaker 1: He can't be a B artist as a $ 30 million record.
- 28:03Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is he sold 30 million.
- 28:06Speaker 4: He sold 30 million.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Jay-Z sold 140 million.
- 28:11Speaker 4: There is a humongous difference. He put out 140 albums. Oh,
- 28:15Speaker 4: my God.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Not only that, Zach.
- 28:19Speaker 3: His biggest records are with Kanye, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Ja Rule got his numbers with Ashanti.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Stop playing with Ja Rule.
- 28:28Speaker 4: So, wait a minute.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Stop playing with Ja Rule.
- 28:30Speaker 4: We acting like Ashanti ain't one of them. What are
- 28:32Speaker 4: we talking about? She playing soul records with his girl.
- 28:34Speaker 4: Crazy in love with his girl. I'm just saying. When
- 28:37Speaker 4: we talk about Jay-Z. Ashanti, what we doing? When we
- 28:39Speaker 4: talk about Jay-Z. Ashanti, what she came out with. Literally.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Ashanti is that girl.
- 28:42Speaker 2: She's amazing.
- 28:43Speaker 4: Guess what?
- 28:44Speaker 2: It was like, niggas like.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Ja Rule got his numbers with collaborating with one person,
- 28:50Speaker 3: most of it.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Okay.
- 28:51Speaker 2: I just named you Kanye West, Rihanna, Beyonce. What are
- 28:57Speaker 2: you talking about?
- 28:57Speaker 4: That's what I'm trying to wonder what you're talking about.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I know you don't know what you're talking about. Ain't
- 29:00Speaker 2: nothing else to argue with that.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Okay?
- 29:02Speaker 4: I'm going to let you know.
- 29:02Speaker 2: That's me.
- 29:03Speaker 4: I ain't going to say that.
- 29:05Speaker 5: If you want to say Jay-Z is the best rapper
- 29:07Speaker 5: alive because he can rap really well, I give you that.
- 29:11Speaker 4: But when you talk about album sales. Numbers.
- 29:14Speaker 5: When you talk about numbers and hits like going number one,
- 29:17Speaker 5: he's been more of a niche artist in that regard.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Jay-Z. Are you fucking kidding me?
- 29:25Speaker 4: What'd you say his first album went? Where'd his first
- 29:28Speaker 4: album go, 26?
- 29:28Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 29:30Speaker 1: How do you say the nigga that sold 140 million
- 29:35Speaker 1: records worldwide.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Is a niche artist?
- 29:39Speaker 3: What?
- 29:40Speaker 4: How do I say that? 140 niggas? Because when they drop... Nigga,
- 29:44Speaker 4: he's blue blockers. He is a nigga.
- 29:48Speaker 5: When he was out, I'm saying the people that he
- 29:49Speaker 5: was out, it was people... selling more. Every time Jay-Z dropped,
- 29:53Speaker 5: there was an artist selling more records.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Jay-Z's album went number one. Exactly.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Every time Jay-Z dropped an album, it went number one. No,
- 30:01Speaker 1: it was other albums that sold more. No, the albums were, whoa.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Look him up.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Look him up.
- 30:06Speaker 4: What's his best album? What's his best? Go with his best.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Because Reasonable Doubt started with a brick.
- 30:11Speaker 1: No, it was a niche. That was niche. Reasonable Doubt
- 30:15Speaker 1: is niche. You don't even listen to Jay-Z.
- 30:17Speaker 4: Exactly. That's why I'm saying this. But go to his best.
- 30:20Speaker 4: Go to his best. Eminem was selling Moe. Nelly was
- 30:23Speaker 4: selling Moe. Go to him. No, it was not. Yes,
- 30:26Speaker 4: they was. Look them up. I don't know, guys. Everybody
- 30:30Speaker 4: was selling. He was always third or fourth. No, he
- 30:33Speaker 4: was not. Number one, bro. Yeah, he was selling Moe.
- 30:37Speaker 4: Hard night life. Hard night life.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Hard night life. In 1998, you was four. I'm arguing

- 30:53Speaker 4: Hanging out. You was four. I can't argue with a
- 30:56Speaker 4: nigga that was four.

- 31:23Speaker 4: would you listen to this? What are you doing? That
- 31:26Speaker 4: happened out 30 years.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Michael Jackson sold 100 million records the first time he sang.
- 31:31Speaker 2: How did Michael Jackson get there?
- 31:33Speaker 4: Because he had been talking like Jay-Z might. 100 million records.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah, 30 years later, after he celebrated the same damn
- 31:42Speaker 1: album every year.
- 31:43Speaker 4: It's the fifth year anniversary of this. It's the 10th
- 31:45Speaker 4: year anniversary.

- 34:30Speaker 4: I'm so done. I'm done. I'm done. We going to
- 34:33Speaker 4: today's topic, man. What's the next topic? All right.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Speaking of albums and tours, Usher and Chris Brown had
- 34:42Speaker 1: to cancel four dates on their upcoming R & B tour.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Some reports are saying it's due to Chris Brown's sentencing
- 34:48Speaker 1: in London.
- 34:49Speaker 4: They getting tired of each other. That's what I say. No,
- 34:52Speaker 4: I think it's due to his sentencing. I'm going tired.
- 34:55Speaker 4: So the promoter said that it's because.
- 34:58Speaker 5: They need rest. But what's the name got to be
- 35:03Speaker 5: in London by October 25th? to get his sentence in
- 35:06Speaker 5: for that Afray charge he got. And that's the same dates.
- 35:10Speaker 5: It's like October 18th through the 31st, they're going to
- 35:12Speaker 5: be off. And then they're coming back November 5th in
- 35:15Speaker 5: Atlanta for five shows. So that's what it is. Chris
- 35:19Speaker 5: got to stop because Chris got to go to London.
- 35:22Speaker 5: So that's why they're taking off.
- 35:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 35:24Speaker 5: He got to go get his charges and get out
- 35:26Speaker 5: of that, pay his money, whatever he got to do
- 35:28Speaker 5: to get out of that.
- 35:28Speaker 4: He'll be back.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:30Speaker 3: I mean, this is a very long tour. You got
- 35:33Speaker 3: to think it was back in the summertime. When they
- 35:35Speaker 3: was here with me. And they not done till December.
- 35:41Speaker 3: That's a very long tour. So if they need to
- 35:43Speaker 3: cancel a few days here and there, we cancel a
- 35:46Speaker 3: pod every now and then.
- 35:48Speaker 4: I just want to know what Usher got going on.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Because why Usher working so hard? Because.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Usher is working too hard. Usher has been on tour
- 35:55Speaker 5: for five years.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Yes, he has.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Non-stop.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Where else he getting paid? Didn't I just tell y'all that?
- 36:01Speaker 3: Where else is he going to make money, Zach?
- 36:03Speaker 4: Usher is one of those artists who can make money
- 36:05Speaker 4: off his streams. He's not.
- 36:07Speaker 3: No.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Yes, he is.
- 36:07Speaker 4: Now he can.
- 36:10Speaker 5: Usher's not an artist that can make money off his streams.
- 36:13Speaker 5: If Usher can't do it, then can't nobody do it.
- 36:14Speaker 5: But you don't think, honestly, and it's no shade to Usher,
- 36:18Speaker 5: the other friend of the show.
- 36:20Speaker 2: Usher don't know us.
- 36:22Speaker 4: Usher know me. Usher knows me.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Calling Usher a friend of this show is crazy.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I hate y'all, man.
- 36:37Speaker 3: He might be a friend alive with Tom Capone, but
- 36:40Speaker 3: a friend of this? That ain't our damn friend.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Go ahead. Friend of the show. Who know him? Okay,
- 37:11Speaker 4: I'm done, I'm done. You was going somewhere, though.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Go ahead, go ahead.
- 37:16Speaker 4: Jesus Christ, friend of the show.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- 37:27Speaker 4: But like I was saying, Michael Jackson, friend of the show.
- 37:32Speaker 4: I was talking.
- 37:36Speaker 4: Come on, man. Let's do it. Come on. Y'all crazy.
- 37:46Speaker 4: What was you going to say? Come on, go on.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Y'all crazy. That's what I was saying. Beyonce, friend of
- 37:51Speaker 4: the show. We don't know her. That just made me
- 37:54Speaker 4: laugh so hard.
- 37:55Speaker 6: Okay.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Okay, what about our good personal friend? Y'all call a mushroom.
- 38:09Speaker 3: I call a mushroom.
- 38:11Speaker 2: I know.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Stop.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Okay.
- 38:12Speaker 4: Okay. Okay.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 38:14Speaker 4: Okay.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Okay, tell us what happened.
- 38:32Speaker 4: This show is crazy. It is. I'm moving on. We
- 38:36Speaker 4: moving on.
- 38:37Speaker 1: No, we ain't talking about Usher.
- 38:39Speaker 2: We got to talk about Usher.
- 38:42Speaker 4: No, okay.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Not for real. My point I was making about Usher
- 38:47Speaker 1: is the fact is that before the residency, Usher had
- 38:51Speaker 1: plateaued in a sense. So do you think he was
- 38:53Speaker 1: getting a level of streams at that point That he's
- 38:57Speaker 1: getting now. No, a lot of people are getting, especially
- 38:59Speaker 1: a lot of Chris Brown fans who are younger, they're
- 39:02Speaker 1: getting reintroduced to how dope Usher is because a lot
- 39:05Speaker 1: of them listen to Usher in their mama's car. And
- 39:08Speaker 1: I think that Usher's, this is, I think Usher has
- 39:11Speaker 1: done an amazing job. It's actually a blueprint to remake yourself.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Absolutely. I think it's a complete rebrand. Without having to
- 39:19Speaker 4: make new music.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Without having to make new music, even though he's done
- 39:22Speaker 1: some cool features with Summer Walker, and they all, Usher's
- 39:25Speaker 1: a one-on-one guy, right? So I just think the tour,
- 39:29Speaker 1: like Kiki was saying, I think the tour was necessary
- 39:32Speaker 1: because he has to ride this wave because, I mean,
- 39:34Speaker 1: in a minute, Usher's probably going to chill. I think
- 39:39Speaker 1: that's what he did. He's like, hey, I'm going to
- 39:41Speaker 1: run this number up. Somebody told him a number.
- 39:44Speaker 4: That he needs to hit that he don't have to
- 39:46Speaker 4: worry about nothing else. And I think that's what we're seeing.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
- 39:50Speaker 3: And I think when the lane is still very much,
- 39:52Speaker 3: you know, it's open for him too. It ain't like it's,
- 39:56Speaker 3: we need Usher. We need, it ain't like it's just
- 39:58Speaker 3: so many great facts that's out here like that. And
- 40:01Speaker 3: if you ever see Usher in concert, he enjoys what
- 40:03Speaker 3: he's doing. I think he truly is a performer. And
- 40:06Speaker 3: so those type of people sometimes don't get off stage.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Smokey them still. Smokey still.
- 40:12Speaker 4: No, no, no. We're not going to compare him to Smokey.
- 40:15Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying. They on tour though.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Like, Mike, you know, Mike wanted to get off the stage, but, like,
- 40:20Speaker 3: it's just certain people that are true-life performers, and that's
- 40:23Speaker 3: what they do best, and that's where I think they excel. Like,
- 40:25Speaker 3: Beyoncé can do a lot of things, but nobody's touching
- 40:28Speaker 3: her on stage. Usher can do other things, yes, but
- 40:31Speaker 3: nobody's touching him when it comes to a stage.
- 40:32Speaker 1: That's why he couldn't get Charlie Wilson off the stage.
- 40:35Speaker 4: Hello? Can't. Can't get Charlie off the stage. You know
- 40:37Speaker 4: what I'm saying, yeah.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Charlie sang his ass off at that music fest. I've
- 40:43Speaker 1: never been to anything Charlie Wilson's ever done and been like.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 40:47Speaker 1: It's always good. And Charlie couldn't even stand up.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Right after.
- 40:52Speaker 3: If it's what you was here, I mean, that's some
- 40:53Speaker 3: people just here to do certain stuff. Like, that's just,
- 40:56Speaker 3: Usher is a performer.
- 40:58Speaker 4: All right. Let's get to this, man. Diddy, something happened
- 41:02Speaker 4: to him. He had a head injury. They had to
- 41:04Speaker 4: take him to the hospital.
- 41:05Speaker 2: What is going on with Diddy up in that jail, Chad?
- 41:08Speaker 2: They is wilding up in there.
- 41:09Speaker 5: Every time we look up, Diddy either getting massaged or
- 41:14Speaker 5: beat upside the head.
- 41:16Speaker 4: Y'all ain't taking nothing serious today, dog. There ain't no
- 41:19Speaker 4: in-between with Diddy, man. Diddy always getting rubbed and knocked
- 41:23Speaker 4: the fuck out. Yes, yes.
- 41:25Speaker 2: He's always in a hole. It's like, just sit down.
- 41:28Speaker 2: What you in there doing? Oh, he would stress me
- 41:33Speaker 2: out if he was my family member. That would stress
- 41:35Speaker 2: me out. Every day is something.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Also, projected prison release date has been delayed now until
- 41:41Speaker 1: March 2nd of 2028, following alleged reports that he received
- 41:45Speaker 1: special treatment behind bars.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Just don't even tell us no more release dates. Surprise us.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Okay, Brie, how do you say Nick Cannon's baby mama
- 41:56Speaker 1: or his girlfriend?
- 41:57Speaker 4: What's her last name? Tessie? Tressie?
- 42:00Speaker 2: Something like that. Brie Teresina.
- 42:01Speaker 4: With that lady. Yep. Shout out to Brie. She had
- 42:04Speaker 4: a message for Nick Cannon. Take a listen to this.
- 42:10Speaker 8: In your head, is this going to be like your,
- 42:12Speaker 8: like be-all end-all, like Nick and this relationship? I've always said,
- 42:16Speaker 8: you know, we agree on the twin flame thing. Like
- 42:18Speaker 8: we really vibe. Like he is my partner. I think
- 42:20Speaker 8: he is my life partner. I genuinely love this man.
- 42:23Speaker 8: We have a great relationship. I love our family. Regardless
- 42:25Speaker 8: of everything else, again, that's not really my problem. So
- 42:27Speaker 8: I see it being long-term. You know, they're, I only
- 42:30Speaker 8: have like one deal breaker.
- 42:32Speaker 3: One.
- 42:33Speaker 8: And if it ever happens, then I might be out.
- 42:34Speaker 4: What's the deal breaker?
- 42:35Speaker 8: If he has another baby.
- 42:36Speaker 4: I was going to ask you, girl. I'm out of here.
- 42:38Speaker 4: No more?

- 42:46Speaker 8: hell are you going to add? I don't even want

- 45:36Speaker 2: Either way, you're part of the wild at that point.
- 45:40Speaker 4: All right. Let's go.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Gunna has launched a new record label called SB The Label.

- 45:57Speaker 4: Friend of the show. You petty.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I just want to know what SB
- 46:05Speaker 2: means because I would have not named it that if.
- 46:07Speaker 4: I was him. Shady Baby.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Okay.
- 46:11Speaker 4: Shady? Which is the personal nickname and imprint for rapper.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Okay.

- 46:23Speaker 4: first person to sign to Shady Baby. I ain't going
- 46:25Speaker 4: to lie to you. Can't name it Shady.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Y'all wouldn't sign to Gunna, I would.
- 46:30Speaker 4: You're going to be a star because Gunna know how
- 46:32Speaker 4: to rap. And he don't have to teach people how
- 46:33Speaker 4: to rap.
- 46:33Speaker 2: That don't mean you're going to be a star.
- 46:35Speaker 4: He taught Lil Baby how to rap. I don't like rapping.
- 46:37Speaker 4: Lil Baby a star. When you still want to be
- 46:39Speaker 4: a rapper yourself, I don't want to sign to nobody.
- 46:41Speaker 5: I want to sign to somebody who in that business
- 46:43Speaker 5: mindset or you've showed me some proof of concept of
- 46:46Speaker 5: you making a few stars before I want to sign
- 46:48Speaker 5: to you.
- 46:49Speaker 4: Artists who did it, And was Yo Gotti. You know
- 46:52Speaker 4: what I'm saying?
- 46:52Speaker 5: He was a star on his own and then showed
- 46:55Speaker 5: you he could make other stars.
- 46:57Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to go with that. So, I would
- 46:59Speaker 4: trust him. Who would name some of the stars from
- 47:01Speaker 4: Yo Gotti?
- 47:03Speaker 7: Glorilla.
- 47:03Speaker 4: Glorilla. Before, what's her name? Moneybagg Yo. Moneybagg Yo. He had...
- 47:10Speaker 4: My friend is missing. What's her name had a hit,
- 47:12Speaker 4: but he was crazy. Who's your friend missing? What's her name?
- 47:14Speaker 4: Black Youngsta. He missing? Yeah, Black Youngsta ain't been around
- 47:17Speaker 4: a long time. Damn. never mind not doing that with him.
- 47:25Speaker 3: Today I could tell if he was acting or losing.
- 47:30Speaker 4: It for real I got.
- 47:31Speaker 3: Skills or dementia I was like I don't know what
- 47:36Speaker 3: this is or dementia.
- 47:41Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going on but.
- 47:43Speaker 3: Okay I was signed to him Yeah, but Gotti also, like,
- 47:47Speaker 3: completely walked away.
- 47:48Speaker 4: He walked away, yeah.
- 47:50Speaker 2: He ain't trying to put out no songs.
- 47:51Speaker 4: He ain't.
- 47:52Speaker 5: He said, I'm going to be on this part of
- 47:53Speaker 5: the game now, and I'm going to put artists out.
- 47:55Speaker 5: 50 Cent did the best.
- 47:59Speaker 4: You sure? Yeah, I go. With who?
- 48:02Speaker 1: I think 50 did. I mean, I look at, well,
- 48:05Speaker 1: let me not say that. It was J-Hack, because Bean
- 48:07Speaker 1: sold a million records. Bean sold a million records. I
- 48:12Speaker 1: don't know if he got to a million. I think
- 48:16Speaker 1: the popularity of G-Unit.
- 48:19Speaker 4: By themselves was huge.
- 48:21Speaker 1: I think Lloyd Banks was a star outside of G-Unit.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Game was a star outside of G-Unit. Tony Ayo came
- 48:29Speaker 1: home and became, and Young Buck was a star. Those are, like, them,
- 48:33Speaker 1: all three, all four of those out was solid. He
- 48:36Speaker 1: did put them on.
- 48:37Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie.
- 48:38Speaker 5: He put them on in a major way at the
- 48:40Speaker 5: height of while he was being an artist. If that's
- 48:42Speaker 5: what you mean, like while being an artist.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:44Speaker 4: You got to give him that.
- 48:45Speaker 1: He was still, he was still, 50 was still.
- 48:48Speaker 4: Putting out music while they were out.
- 48:50Speaker 2: But didn't he like, didn't he like diss all of
- 48:53Speaker 2: them too?
- 48:53Speaker 4: Yeah, okay. We ain't talking about how he ended.
- 48:55Speaker 2: He put you out, but then he ended you at
- 48:57Speaker 2: the same time. Yeah, he'll do that.
- 48:58Speaker 4: He will end you now.
- 48:59Speaker 2: Yeah, like.
- 49:00Speaker 4: It didn't end well.
- 49:01Speaker 2: I don't know if it really works.
- 49:02Speaker 3: I'm thinking more like Jay-Z, Rihanna, Ye. Like, dumb type of.
- 49:07Speaker 4: Okay, so Jay.
- 49:08Speaker 2: All string of artists and you're really successful. Like Wayne, Nicki, Drake.
- 49:12Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to go with that.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Yep.
- 49:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 49:15Speaker 4: Wayne Nicky Drake is solid. Wayne definitely one of the
- 49:18Speaker 4: best to do it.
- 49:19Speaker 2: I don't know if I would use him.
- 49:20Speaker 4: 50. Why would you say Rihanna, though? When she's under Jay? Yeah,
- 49:22Speaker 4: she's under Jay Z. If you got to put Rick
- 49:24Speaker 4: Ross under Jay, then too. Def Jam? Mm-hmm. The Jay side, Jeezy? Mm-hmm. Yeah,
- 49:30Speaker 4: you got to get it to Jay then. See?
- 49:32Speaker 2: So I think, you know.
- 49:33Speaker 4: He signed cheesy.
- 49:34Speaker 2: It can be done. It can be done.
- 49:36Speaker 3: But I think Gunna still, he's, I feel like we
- 49:38Speaker 3: still got a lot to get from Gunna. He's still
- 49:40Speaker 3: making great records.
- 49:42Speaker 4: All right.
- 49:43Speaker 3: But I mean, Gunna also, when he under, what's his name?
- 49:45Speaker 4: Young Thug.
- 49:46Speaker 2: So he probably saw the play and was like, you know,
- 49:49Speaker 2: I can do it.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I can do this myself.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I can do it myself.
- 49:52Speaker 4: I'm not mad at it. I just want to see it.
- 49:54Speaker 3: And trust me, there are some artists that, I mean,
- 49:55Speaker 3: any artist will sign to him. He ain't got no
- 49:57Speaker 3: else to sign.
- 49:59Speaker 4: Ain't nobody else calling.
- 50:01Speaker 3: Okay, I'd be like, y'all got a marketing team, some
- 50:03Speaker 3: artist development. Can I get in the stew? I'm saying
- 50:06Speaker 3: right here.
- 50:06Speaker 4: Can I get in the stew? Look at you, Kiki.
- 50:08Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? I like a little rap
- 50:10Speaker 4: for you. Sammy. Kiki, you going to get in the stew?
- 50:12Speaker 2: I get in the stew, baby. You got some bars.
- 50:16Speaker 4: Because what little way he said?
- 50:18Speaker 2: Don't do that. Because y'all don't respect my goat in
- 50:21Speaker 2: this house.
- 50:21Speaker 4: You know what he said?
- 50:22Speaker 2: You know what he said.
- 50:23Speaker 4: Don't crawl in the grass. For real.
- 50:25Speaker 1: Why does it sound like a Negro spiritual when you
- 50:28Speaker 1: say it?
- 50:28Speaker 4: Because you make it sound like a country song.
- 50:30Speaker 1: It is.
- 50:31Speaker 3: And Jelly Roll's singing that part. Just listen to Carter 5.
- 50:35Speaker 4: Okay. In a couple days. I'll get to it.
- 50:40Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 50:41Speaker 4: I promise you. Take a listen to this.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Nick Young talking about why he kept changing his wedding day, Kiki.
- 50:48Speaker 4: I'm supposed to get married in December, probably. What do
- 50:51Speaker 4: you mean you're supposed to? I was supposed to get
- 50:53Speaker 4: married last August and... And then what happened? There was
- 50:56Speaker 4: a lot going on. The weather wasn't right. What do
- 50:59Speaker 4: you mean? What the weather got to do with you
- 51:00Speaker 4: getting married? Go indoors if it's raining. We had an
- 51:03Speaker 4: outside wedding and then the weather... You don't go indoors.
- 51:06Speaker 7: So we got to find where the weather is perfect. Like,
- 51:09Speaker 7: if the weather ain't right, it ain't right.
- 51:11Speaker 4: So what you want, 70 degrees and sunny?
- 51:13Speaker 7: More like my audience can't be sweating, so it got
- 51:17Speaker 7: to be like a breeze. Once we find the right area,
- 51:20Speaker 7: you know, I tell her, just find the right time
- 51:22Speaker 7: of the day and we can get married tomorrow.
- 51:25Speaker 4: Okay. He in that plan. Would you do that? Bad
- 51:33Speaker 4: wedding weather? Push it back? Yeah. Yes. I would.
- 51:40Speaker 3: I don't... I don't... I really wasn't listening.
- 51:45Speaker 4: Okay, so basically he said the reason... Oh, my God.
- 51:49Speaker 2: We got to hurry up.
- 51:50Speaker 5: Okay, the reason he ain't married is because he said
- 51:53Speaker 5: that it wasn't the right weather that day they were
- 51:55Speaker 5: supposed to get married.
- 51:56Speaker 4: He told his fiance, find the right weather, we can
- 51:58Speaker 4: get married tomorrow.
- 51:59Speaker 2: Find the right weather is crazy.
- 52:01Speaker 4: But a little back story, they have been together for
- 52:04Speaker 4: 20 years.
- 52:05Speaker 2: Girl, he ain't marrying you.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Engaged over seven. They got four kids together.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Okay.
- 52:10Speaker 4: So that's why I said Nick Young playing.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Yeah, he playing games. He not trying to marry her.
- 52:14Speaker 3: And at this point, blaming it on the weather during
- 52:17Speaker 3: the interview is very disrespectful.
- 52:19Speaker 2: I'd rather you just say we not ready to get married.
- 52:22Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 52:23Speaker 3: But to play like that, I think that's very disrespectful.
- 52:27Speaker 2: He would have got.
- 52:29Speaker 2: He would have got something. Don't play with me. That's
- 52:35Speaker 2: very disrespectful.
- 52:36Speaker 4: Okay.
- 52:38Speaker 2: What y'all think?
- 52:39Speaker 4: I just told you. Okay.
- 52:41Speaker 2: What you think?
- 52:42Speaker 4: I don't really got a thought on it. I don't
- 52:44Speaker 4: really got a thought on it. I would get married.
- 52:46Speaker 1: It don't matter what, whether it was moving indoors.
- 52:48Speaker 2: Have you ever dated somebody like over seven years?
- 52:55Speaker 4: No. I think that's the longest I've ever done it.
- 52:57Speaker 4: Long as you roll off your credit. seven years I
- 53:02Speaker 4: think five might be my longest okay five I think
- 53:08Speaker 4: things usually go bad around here three and a half.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Five is my longest year it usually starts spiraling out
- 53:15Speaker 1: of control we make it past three we good.
- 53:17Speaker 3: So we really like the longest relationship you ever had.
- 53:20Speaker 1: A hundred percent well no how long was you and
- 53:23Speaker 1: Shag together no me and Shag no me and Shag
- 53:25Speaker 1: twelve years Well, no, no, no.
- 53:28Speaker 4: They broke the Hot Boys up at year 10.
- 53:32Speaker 2: Okay.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Year 10. I started doing afternoons and he started doing nights.
- 53:36Speaker 1: But it's still called Hot Boys Radio because we both
- 53:38Speaker 1: go on back to back.
- 53:38Speaker 4: We almost there.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Okay.
- 53:42Speaker 4: Shout out, Shay. How about it, man?
- 53:45Speaker 1: What is something on your bucket list you still want
- 53:47Speaker 1: to do, not career related?
- 53:52Speaker 2: Bucket list I still want to do, not career related.
- 53:54Speaker 4: Bucket list. I can tell you mine while y'all go.
- 53:58Speaker 2: Go ahead.
