You know what I mean? It's been a lot of good music from and and that's the new word they use in legacy artists, but Really, it's just artists. Caddey B: Yeah, yeah. And I think it's been like that. I think it's been like that for the past few years, though. I think since since that Rock Cam album came out, I think everybody, know, LL, everybody kind of did their albums over the past DJ Rubbaban: Mm-hmm. Caddey B: few years. DJ Rubbaban: Yeah. And then you listen into the back and forth with 50 and Rick Ross and him making statements about you know about you know 50 Cent. Caddey B: Yeah. DJ Rubbaban: But when it really comes down to it, it's the album and the quality of the album. And is it worth listening to just in your car? And Rick Ross on this new album, on his new album starts off strong. and then the second song. Caddey B: And I liked it after like the first four to five. After that, that's when I got DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, yeah. Caddey B: into it. DJ Rubbaban: No, see the first one I was feeling that that that first one. And then the next one is the one with T.I. where they kind of going back to back, classic hip hop, you know, mahogany casket. Caddey B: That was good, you know. DJ Rubbaban: And then Minx in Miami was okay. Face Down with Rich the Kid, I was feeling that one. I felt that one a little bit. And then as he went down, when he did Maybach music. You know how he does a version of that on every album with Jeezy? He started to come back up. Caddey B: Yeah, that one went hard. DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, he started to come back up. And then like songs like Purple Fentanyl. Caddey B: But I like to live in large too. And he did the Mr. Big sample from 8-Ball. That's homage. DJ Rubbaban: That's b but you know but you know what I I saw that as what he was doing was from Heavy D. Cause Heavy D's first album was called Living Large or first or second one. And Mr. Big Stuff, Caddey B: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Mr. Big Stuff was also Heavy D, Caddey B: Yeah, yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Livin' Large. So that so you know the old school in me, that's what I I ran to. But and then he's a big dude and he always pays homage to like Biggie, you know, you know, nigga, I'm bigger than you. Yeah. Caddey B: Yeah, and had Big X to plug on there and whatnot, so... DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, you ain't biggie, I'm biggie than you. but shout out Caddey B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Rick Ross. That was a that was a good one. Now, how do you feel about Caddey B: Yeah! DJ Rubbaban: how do you feel about in talking about new music right now? and we kind of briefly talked about this. Country's a big genre right now. Country and and and African Americans have always been part of country. You know what I mean? Have always been a we've had the Charlie Prize and the So-ons, and some will say that blues and other genres made country, right? And so country is the biggest selling art right now in terms of music. And so you see a few people, Beyonce got in there, a l a couple people got in there. Kate Michelle got in there, Nelly got in there, our boy Caddey B: Yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Marty, our boy Marty from Northern California has had a lot of country Caddey B: Yeah, yeah. DJ Rubbaban: artists. so now we get Neo, and Neo, yes, RB Neo has a new album out. And it's called Highway Seventy Nine. And it's pretty much country, y'all. It's country, but with the same feel of traditional Neo. And you know what? I'ma give it. I'm gonna give it it's like about four songs I can, you know. He had a song called Miss Miss Tundra. Like the Tundra truck and about a big girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Might Caddey B: The Tundra. Yeah, I couldn't get behind it. had to I kind of had to walk away from that one. DJ Rubbaban: It's one of those ones you gotta absorb in layers. You gotta absorb that in layers. Cause remember when Nelly came out and Nelly did that one song? Dun dun dun dun. Remember when he did that country song and it blew up? He it blew up. Caddey B: Yeah, I'm just not I'm not I can't get behind country I DJ Rubbaban: You ain't feelin' no country? Caddey B: I'd rather listen to Drake. DJ Rubbaban: There you go, there you go. You rather listen to Drake than country music? Caddey B: I just can't do it. It's it's it's. DJ Rubbaban: So you need to listen to TikTok and listen to some of those white boys redo classic rap songs, country, and they tight. Caddey B: I've seen it, I'm just like, what? Maybe maybe it's the the cadence of it to where it's just and where where I live at here. It just doesn't work for me. DJ Rubbaban: It's country in Northern California. Caddey B: I know that's the problem. DJ Rubbaban: it's just your interpretation of it. Caddey B: Yeah, you know, I mean, you can only be you can you can only be. You know, when I was younger, when I was a kid, when I was a teen, you can only be followed by the rednecks and trucks blaring country saying, I'm gonna get you nigger. And, you know, not just hold on to that country music in your head or just don't. DJ Rubbaban: Yes and no. All music Caddey B: Ahem. DJ Rubbaban: is objective, right? And so I Caddey B: 100%. DJ Rubbaban: get it, you know, sometimes music is is formed kinda by our childhood, the music we listened to, middle school, elementary, and yeah, Caddey B: Yeah, because it's a feeling, you know, but... DJ Rubbaban: yeah. And so and then country's kinda always been kinda remember when country got mad when what was the little brother the little the little brother when he did that song, when he remade that one song? They was mad. Caddey B: Lil Nas X DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, they was mad. They was mad. But we didn't even really Caddey B: But he got he got he got a country cosigner with it. I mean, you know. Billy Ray Cyrus, it was right there, would have been cosigned on it. DJ Rubbaban: But even when Beyonce won that country award, they wanted to turn it over. And they had and if you went Caddey B: yeah! DJ Rubbaban: and remember on the internet, big girls went crazy Caddey B: yeah, they was mad. DJ Rubbaban: dressing like cowgirls for her for her show. Yeah. Caddey B: Yeah, yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Yeah. Caddey B: I just can't, I just can't feel it. DJ Rubbaban: Aye B aye. So no no no new Neo for you. Caddey B: Nah, but I think that the Dreams album was better. DJ Rubbaban: The Dreams album was more traditional R and B. Dream has been quietly Caddey B: Yeah. DJ Rubbaban: producing so much Rick Ross. He produced a lot on Pusha T. he always got his hands in a lot of people's stuff. The Dream as Mad producer. Matt pretty diverse too. Caddey B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then. Yeah, yeah, that album was good. His new one was good. And then, know, your boy, Jack Weiss, he pulled one out. DJ Rubbaban: Wait, hold up, hold up. So before we go to Jacque's, that's my yeah, my my nigga Jacqueese. So before we go to Jacqueese, you telling the people to go out and listen to the dream. Caddey B: I would listen to the Dream for sure. DJ Rubbaban: So you guys in the in the subscription, subscribe, all that, listen let us know how you felt about that new dream out. Caddey B: I mean, listen to the NEO album as well. you know, I ain't got DJ Rubbaban: Okay, okay. Caddey B: no hate. I ain't got no hate. You know what mean? It just, I couldn't feel it, you know? And I'll go back and I'll listen to it again. Cause generally if I don't like, if I first put it in and I'm like, I'm not really feeling this and I'll go to something else, I'll come back to it and try it again. DJ Rubbaban: Right. But if you don't like that genre, music. I got one for you at the end I'm gonna talk about, you're gonna be like, What? What? No, no, no. I think I think music being on music platforms and radio not really being as dominant as it used to be, and we got all these accesses to music that overtakes us, because it's so much new music that we just go, whatever. When I just put my Caddey B: Yeah. DJ Rubbaban: head into music, I'm like Damn, it's too much. Think about it, it's too much. Caddey B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because there's the you can anybody can put it out. DJ Rubbaban: Like Project Pat. Like, I probably had two Project Pat albums. Like, and I can't remember a song until you reminded me of the song, the older song, you know? But Lil' Kiki, Caddey B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, DJ Rubbaban: but Lil' Kiki was in rotation. You know what I'm saying? So when you turned me on the little Caddey B: Yeah, yeah. yeah. DJ Rubbaban: Kiki, the new Lil' Kiki, I was like, Man, that fool is hitting still. You know? He ain't 18 no more. Caddey B: yeah. He got some smackers on there. No, no, no, no. But that, that, that new ju that DJ Rubbaban: So now go to my so now go to Jock Quiz. Caddey B: new juicy J and that new juicy J and project Pat, since you said project Pat, them goats that that's got some slaps on there. DJ Rubbaban: Right. That's got some slap and they always had that. They always had that with all their stuff. They got some slap. Caddey B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, but you know. DJ Rubbaban: So what would you recommend that? Out of out of all those songs, how many would you recommend? Half the album? Caddey B: on them goats? DJ Rubbaban: Yeah. Caddey B: I'll give it. I'd give it half out of the 20, because there's 20 tracks on that album. I'd give it half. DJ Rubbaban: Okay. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. I would give it half. Caddey B: You know, they got some decent features on there. DJ Rubbaban: Yeah, yeah. Now tell me this before we move on. Would you say you listen to your music on your phone and in your car or in your room? What's the best place for your music to sound good to you? Cause I want our listeners I I want to ask that in the comments, put in there where do you feel like the best place to listen to your music at? Cause it's different for me everywhere. Caddey B: Yeah, so I mean, I only listen, I listen to my earbuds. I listen to music all day long. DJ Rubbaban: Mm-hmm. Caddey B: Like literally, like I listen to music all day long. So I got my ear buttons in when I'm at home and I'm cleaning stuff up, whatever, I'm getting ready for bed or I'm doing stuff around the house. And then my truck, I mean, my truck is smacks. So. DJ Rubbaban: Now why you can't play Caddey B: If I want. DJ Rubbaban: it no at your at your place of business, why you can't hit why you can't put that Neo album on and just let it run?
