• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get it yo yo yo, We're back
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: again another episode of the Groundest show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: What's seventeen seventeen?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We in a hound? Yeah?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I remember trying to get to one hundred, and now
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: we're seventeen over one hundred.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: That's crazy facts, man, hey man, when you always ready,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: you ain't gotta get ready.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, that's the motto. Yeah man, we're
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: back again.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Right now. It's the Friday before the super Bowl and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: this morning that new Jello just dropped the tweaker remixed
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with a little we see how you felt about it?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Man. One thing, one of the main things I thought about,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and it's it's when rappers can recognize and I don't
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: want to attribute it to the Drake effect, but Wayne
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: knows when to jump on a track when it's hot,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and he will spit a verse that would just elevate
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that tracks on a level. And I think about it, like,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: did Jello have voices? And yeah, choice, Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: That's that's a I didn't even think about the aspect
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of it. That's a that's a fun little angle to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: think about, because remember when it dropped, it was the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: rumor of Boosey wanted to get on the remix. Money
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: bag Yo wanted to get on the remix, So like
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I wonder if he did have like people actually trying
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to be the one that gets on the remix, you
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And that's what like when you think of a remix
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: verse feature King, who are you thinking about?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Facts and the Drake angle is also something that I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: feel like, regardless of the reasoning, because some people like
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to discredit Drake by saying that he only took that
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: angle with certain records because he was just trying to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: attach himself to the hotness. But it's like, Bro, Drake's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the biggest artist, so he don't need to attach himself
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to an up and coming artist. It's a it's a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: strategic choice, and whatever the motivation behind it is, he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: still gave mass shine to a lot of like respected
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: artists in their city. Regardless if you think it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: like a culture vulture move or him trying to seem
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: street or whatever people try to say about it, It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: still like, Bro, you're still giving Sean black Boy JD.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody would have heard of him if it wasn't for Drake.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going up on a Tuesday. Facts And
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: one thing about Wayne that I love is like he
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he picks the track. I remember he was on that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that I forgot the name of that group, but that Gucca, Gucci,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Louis Louis f Yeahkra Shan and he jumped on that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and it's like, bro, it's like he just if something
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is fired and you know, you could I think as
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: an artistry of like I could rip this fucking song
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: facts boom.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: He gives that like effort in that sound no matter what,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like the tweak of remix. You heard the verse that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Wayne gave and you're like, broyeah, he was spitting you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it's like, I don't think
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he goes to the studio thinking like, oh, I'm just
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: gonna get up. Yeah, like, oh, I'm just gonna give
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a mediocre now.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He's also not going in there like oh I need
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to elevate some part of my career by doing this verse.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And I was like, let me, let me just dabble
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this because I can.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yep, he just kills it just because that's what he
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be on. You know what I'm saying. But yeah, man,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I definitely was. I was excited and pleasantly surprised by
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that remix.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. You sent it this morning to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: chat and I didn't I saw it. I thought you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: sent the original one because I know that's your track.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be loving that track. But then I saw
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: featuring Little Wayne, and I said, hold up, is this
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a Wayne feature? I said, now, let me run that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I run in the car all the way to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: gym and I was like, I I here he goes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It goes weazy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've seen it, but I'm
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: mentioning it so you can pay attention. Bro, You're seeing
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: more and more of these tracks and the person instead
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of featuring a person, They're starting to get hip to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the idea of hey, crediting, we're gonna put these songs
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: so that it hits both of their pages and everybody
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: gets exposed to it. And that's becoming like a thing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: where it's part of the negotiation with artists, you know
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, if you hit up somebody for
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a feature, they're gonna give you the feature price if
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you want to say. And that's a different thing, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like people are starting to be
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: conscious of that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's do a project because there's some people that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: are gonna go on Wayne's playlist and Wayne's algorithm and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Wayne's discography on you know, on the streaming platforms, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: if it's a feature, you got to go to the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: feature section to find it. But if it's and it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: going to be right at the top. Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Facts, It's definitely a thing that I'm noticing a lot
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: more Big Sean's album. All the features are not features,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it says, and for all of them. A lot of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: tracks that are dropping now are hitting that kind of format,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's definitely something to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: look out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Speaking real quick, it's a little sidebarrow. How do you feel?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Why do like? So the Weekend just dropped this album?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about the artists who drop album
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: saying they don't put who's featured on it in the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: track list? So what's the purpose of that?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So the idea behind that is if you announce the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: features beforehand and then you show them on the tracks,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: then people are just on the track and that's all
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they're going to listen to. So if you don't post
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the features on it, people have to listen to the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: whole album to find the feature. That's a good strategy,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: yeah so, but I also feel like, uh, it's also
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like a thing where it's almost an ego thing too,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you don't want people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to gravitate to certain records. You want them to just
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: approach the project as a whole thing instead of just
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: trying to pick the tracks, you know, which is kind
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of the same idea as what I said earlier. But yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of it is behind that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You know anything, It's kind of a precedence that like
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: artists started, like I know, you know they still talk
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: about j Cole when platinum and no features. It's just like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is it because you win play them because nobody knew
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you had features? Because you actually had no features. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you think people knowing you have features is what elevates
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the sales and the listens because people know you have features.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Is that a reason like they cut back?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like yeah, for sure. But I also feel
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: like a lot of times these features are like label things,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like those are politics. B Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they would probably work together eventually or whatever. But the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: idea of like somebody always being on someone's album a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: lot of times it's just because they're label mates, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, Hey, you know, we got
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this guy to put him on your album. You know
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I'm pretty sure just me speaking
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: from an artist's perspective, is like, you don't want your
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: album to the story to be who's on it. You
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want the story to be your music on it, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Which is like a funny thing
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: about being signed to a label too, Like sometimes they'll
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: just tell you, hey, we need you to put this
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: person on your album whatever. Like you see these random
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: collapse and you be like, how do these people hook up?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, they didn't hook up. Somebody made that happen,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Like that Young Thug and Camila Caabella song.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Bro, Yeah, that's crazy.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know any backstory to that at all, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee you neither one of them just
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: hit each other up. And like, man, I would really
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like you on a song, Like you know what I'm saying,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Like it was probably something that was put together, and hey,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they probably did enjoy making the music together, but it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't something that they just thought to.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Themselves organic that they did themselves, that's for sure, exactly, Bro.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Wayne ripped that shit though. Y'all need to listen to that, yeah.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Man, And it kind of led into that. I don't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: know which one was first, but I think it might
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: even been the same day, but it kind of led
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: into his announcement that that Carter six is dropping June sixth,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: six six six.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think that is something kind of trying to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: overshadow him not being at the super Bowl.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So that was perfect segue because that's what I want
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to talk about, how it kind of was perceived that way.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And there's kind of easter eggs in the commercial that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he did that insinuates that he's kind of talking about that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And like there was an argument on the Breakfast Club
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: where they kind of talked about like was Wayne trying
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to kind of like pooh pooh on the Super Bowl
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and Cancer's performance to kind of like steal the thunder
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: type thing, you know what I mean? And the way
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I look at it, Bro is like I think Wayne,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Bro And it hurts me to say this, dog because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like I was a little Wayne fan when people
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: didn't even like, you know, before he dropped the Carter one,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: when when people were in Orlando, was like, bro, what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: is this because it was it's that New Orleans sound
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like It's like, I'm like, bro, he's going in bro.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And then when he went to the Carter one sound
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and like he really just took over. Everybody was a fan,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know. But I feel like Lil Wayne almost is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like like think she's bigger than he is, almost, you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like him announcing the album that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: way is like, Bro, you're dropping music all the time,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, But.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: This is this is this is this is my this
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: is my set, right coming from a Wayne stands very
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: minimal number of us today today, Right, there's a minimum
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: number of us Wayne stands today. But he spans decades.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: He spans decades. Kendrick doesn't span decades. I get it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I get the relevance today. But they had Usher last
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: year last year, you know what I'm saying.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But see, I get what you're saying, but I feel
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like something about Wayne that doesn't give him the air
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that other rappers have is for example, he did an
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: album with Rich the Kid.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Bro. Yeah, yeah, a lot of people like, bro, what.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You're little Wayne? Bro? Why are you making the album
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: with Rich the Kid, Dog, nobody knows who Rich the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Kid is. Bro, Like mainstream people plug talk, Bro, that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was like a niche rap tune. Like everybody just didn't
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: know what plug talk was. You know what I'm saying.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Like that was just like if you're a rap fan,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that song came across your table and you rocked with it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But like Billy down the Street don't know about you
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Jay Z wouldn't do something like that.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Kendrick wouldn't do something like that. Drake wouldn't do something
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: like that. Drake ain't coming out saying, hey, me and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Smiley about to do a dual album together. You know
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like Dog, people, them artists don't do
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: stuff like that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Wayne, do you think he's just way too open?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Ao for not even too open, but like bruh sad
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to say, Dog, but the stuff Gilly be talking about,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like he got so whacked with the music publishing thing
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that he.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Just gotta do take some money, bro, taking every single.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm like, If he can't, if he's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not making the money off the streaming, he got to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: make it somewhere and people and the stature that he
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: has and who he is, people will pay him, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he's a work for hire. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you can't pick and choose the way jay Z does
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and people like that, dude, when you don't have like Bro.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It goes back to the thing that I talked about
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a long time ago on the pop with Prince and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Navsnas wanted to collabor with Prince, and Prince said, do
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you own your masters? Nah said no, and Prince said no, Bro.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I'm not gonna do business with
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you if you don't even own your music. Bro. You
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: For different breed now, I get it, I get it,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: but I still think for the performance standard wise, for
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: an event of that size, that the demographic he could reach,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I put him at the usher level. But for hip
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: hop it's just like decades. He had hits in every
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: single decade, the nineties, two thousands, and twenty twenties, still
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: got some hits. It's just I'm not I'm not advocating
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: for Wayne, I'm not advocating for Drake, but I'm saying
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I understand where the feedback comes. Where everybody feels it
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: should have been Wayne.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely understand the sentiment.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: But going back to your point where I feel like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that's why he feels he's on top always because of
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the longevity of it at this point.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that angle. I just feel like, Lol, Wayne,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like maybe random people will know who he is at least,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: but they're not tapped into low Wayne like that. You
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I'm not saying that Kendrick
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is is more popular, like in a broad sense, but
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the run that he's on right now, Bro, it's just
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: something where they got to capitalize on that momentum.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm not hating on Cuentrick. For the record, My
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: GNX Vinyl just came in the day I posted that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I played the whole thing front and back twice already,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm not hating on Kendrick. I'm not a Kendrick
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: kid at all, but I just feel strongly about the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: other side for sure.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I feel that for sure. And speaking of
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Bro, Loul, Wayne is not the only
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: one that's skipping, Bro. You know what I'm saying. Other
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: people are skipping, but you know who's not skipping, Trump.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Bro, He said, I'm gonna come.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yo, you've been killing that beam lately.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yo. It's so funny to me that I don't even
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: want to know the context, bro, I just didn't know the.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Contexts behind it. No, just a super simple, super simple
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was talking about her event that she didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: want Donald Trump to come there, she didn't want him
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to attend, and he heard it, so he's like, Oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I hear all this talk about me not wanting to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: come to an event. Guess what I'm gonna come. We're
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: all coming. That's one of the greatest soundbites IVE ever
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: heard in my life. And I would wear it out
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: until I possibly cannot wear it out.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You see how Patrick Mahomes and like Jason Kelsey are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: catching flak because they basically came out with the answer
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of like, oh, it's an honor to have a sitting
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: president come see the stuff, and then Jalen Hurts was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a little more reserved than his response, and people are
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: kind of taking it like, you know, Patrick Mahomes and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey are taking like a like a pro Trump
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: stance and Jalen Hurts is not.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: But you know why, though, think about this. The winner
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl is going to visit the White House.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Facts and I pretty much guarantee if this Eagles were
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to win, a lot of them wouldn't be going, And
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs win, I bet you a lot of them
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: will be going.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I would agree with you, But I don't know, Bro.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like the Eagles would go. All of them
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: would go because just because how much I've seen people
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: switch up this year.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: But who didn't go?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: What was it? Was it the Warriors? Warriors didn't go?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: The Warriors didn't go.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I think the w NBA team that won those years
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they didn't go either.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there are teams that don't go.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But it's like, Bro, I feel like I've been seeing
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: so many people do a on Trump just because they
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: felt like there was no chance. And then when they
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: were like, bro, he's the president and that's.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That you gotta think of, Like, that's a dude in
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: charge as the president. I'm about to visit the White House?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Am I going to pass up an opportunity to win
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a championship or visit the White House? Because that's a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: full blown ceremony, that's a process. You win that you
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: go to the White house, you do a bunch of tours,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you have the parade, and I was like, do you
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: want to be against the system at that point to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: fulfill what comes after winning the championship. It's a tough
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: decision to make.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It's funny, bro, because I always think about it, like,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: imagine you have some dude in your neighborhood that you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: just ain't rock with, so you always avoided him, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: then you got a job somewhere he was a supervisor.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's up my guy? What's up my guy? Yo?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Facts, Bro, It's like at a certain point, I don't know, Bro,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's like I can see both sides of that want
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: because it's like it's tough they you know, people want
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to stand on business, dog, but when it's gonna mess
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: with your everyday life, bro.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Because it's a longevity behind it. It's like you got
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: four years if you want to win next year. It's
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: influences politics and if if you want to be on
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the right side of that, you know, that's everywhere, So
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you can't be mad at that. That's everywhere. You want
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to be on the right side of politics when you
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: at that, when you when you're at performing at the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: high level, working at the high level anything. You want
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to be on the right side of politics, no matter what.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, facts, especially when you're in the business of business.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah like businesses, numbers, businesses, data, businesses, metrics. When you
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: put too much feeling in it, bro, Like, you're not
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: going to maximize the effort that you're given, you know
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And that's just that's just how it works, bro,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: from the beginning of time. And there's a lot of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: people that feel a certain type of way when people
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: quote unquote switch up on stuff like that. Something that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: comes to mind is ice cube. Remember when Trump was
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: president the first time he tried to work with them
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: on some kind of black reformation type of uh initiative,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and people were criticizing him, and he said, Bro, he's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the president. Who else going to work with If I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: don't work with him, there's not another president, you know
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: So that's four years to do it again.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And when you take that leadership, bro, that's like the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: extra responsibility you have. You've got to be around people
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you don't rock with, bro, Like, that's what it is.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: You know, people like me and you, we're not in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: them roles. So we got the benefit of if we
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: say we don't rock with this person and we do
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: rock with that person, doesn't change our day to day.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It doesn't change our day to day. But people that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: actually does change the day to day, that's a whole
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: different back of bag of worms? Bro? Is it back
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: of worms? Candle worms?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Back?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I was thinking of a bag of tricks, though.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I've had a bagworms only when I went fishing yo facts.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Man, something that we talked about last week
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about the twenty twenty four music,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: but then when we switched into twenty twenty five, because
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you have mentioned the Bad Money album and I forgot
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that that was a twenty twenty five joint. So after
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: we talked about the Central Seas, you know, I have
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: mentioned that I wasn't really impressed with a lot of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Central Seas recent stuff. And then he dropped the album
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: early twenty twenty five and shout out to Yoda. Man,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he was actually the one that told me because I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: didn't even know Bro, Like I'm a Central Seed fan, Bro,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and it didn't come across my algorithm that he was
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: dropping all album like at all, Like I didn't know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: not even almost Bro until Angel said hey is drop,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I haven't got a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: chance to really like check it out, like top to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: bottom all the way, like really really really tap into it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But so far what I heard from it was pretty dope, man,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: like I rock with a lot of the tracks on it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this though, man, and this is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like the angle that I wanted to take
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and get your opinion on. So for me, I'm Puerto Rican,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm not a fan of regged thong.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: The reason I'm not a fan of regged throng is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: because of the very, very repetitive nature of the music.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: A reggaeton beat is a regged don't beat. You know
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's gonna sound how a regged don't
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: beat is gonna sound. And it's like there's some that
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: break through that I'm like, Yo, those are dope, but
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: there's it. At the end of the day, It's like, bro,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: this is regged thong. I don't want to hear the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: same beat every time, you know what I'm saying. Central
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Seas album is all drill, all drill beats. So I'm
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out if I don't rock with half
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of it because it just gets repetitive to me, or
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: if it's just not hidden like that, because I feel
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like a lot of the tracks are dope, and I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: like some of the features he got on there. I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: like what he's saying. The joint with Dave is dope.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: He got a joint with a Spanish artist on there.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: That kind of caught me off. G I'm like, oh, dang,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Central c.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Young me, Young Miko, shut up, you got a track
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: with Young Miko. That's my bo let me.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Let me just double check. But I believe it's Young Miko.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: You just definitely try to influence me to listen to
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that now.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm loo confirmed real quick. I gotta open right here.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So the album is called cam Rush Greatness and yeah
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's Young Miko a song called Ghata.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna listen to that on the way.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: So he got Young Miko, twenty one Savage on it,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Dave on it, which is a UK rapper that's super dope,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Little Dirk Skeptic which is another super dope k rapper,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and Little Baby with the band for band.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Because I might listen to this the whole way home.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna cap but I'm not gonna lie. The
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: album is dope.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Like I said, Bro, I don't know if I'm kind
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: of like not giving it a super thumbs up because
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of the repetitive nature of the drill.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: It's only so much you could differentiate. Yeah, it's just
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: drill New York hip hop too with an Ice Spice
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: and all those tracks too. It's like it's a repetitive
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: nature and that you have to like kind of branch
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: off from what it's used to sounding and just kind
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of manipulated in some way that doesn't sound like the repetitive.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like when you use the same type of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: beats over and over, you're not making music, you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: like not me. Let me, let me kind of scratch
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that a little bit, because I'm not trying to downplay
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the art that they're making. What I'm saying is it
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: becomes so formulated that you're not even exploring other flows.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You're not you're not tapping into other things. I get that,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and it's sounding like what it sounds like is drill, drill, drill, drill, drill, drill.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He's dope. I want to hear him maybe on a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: on a dancehall type beat, maybe on some like Timbaland
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: type bounce. It's hip hop, but it's like a different
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: kind of all drill, yeah, not all drill like, so
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping. I'm hoping he kind of like explores those
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: lanes because I really like his sound and I like
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the type of music he makes. I like his lyrical ability.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: But to me, bro drill all the time is too much.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I can't do it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing about this this Bad Bunny album,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: because I know that's what you started your point off with.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's a sauce album and the first track is uh
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: New York said in Puerto Rican slang, and he's like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: how you gonna call Bad Bunny the king of pop
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: when I got that get throng end them bo And
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: then he says, that's three genres and then the rest
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: of the album's side. That's what I'm saying. Like he
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: could use reggae throon beats every single album, every single song.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: He doesn't. He doesn't that, and that's why every I
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: think that differentiates the level of artistry, whether it's stick
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: in your stay in your lane, or ranch off, and
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: makes something different than just what everybody's used to it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: And he's the artist like he's the level of artist
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in the type of and not even level as far
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as success, just his artistic ability. He's the level of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: artist that he just got a voice in the sound
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that he could do whatever he wants. A sound dope
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: because he's carry joint Spanish drake. That's a that's a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: good way to that's a good way to describe.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Told everybody's a Spanish drake.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yo, shout out to my brother, my cousin Galliel. He's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a he's a super dope artist. He makes like reggae
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: thom and everything. He put me on a bad Bunny
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: when he showed me a video Bad Bunny that when
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: it had like less than one hundred thousand views, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: he's like, Yo, this dude right here, he's about to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: be the one.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got. I got a boy just like that
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: do the same thing.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And I peeped him from there and like, Bro, after
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: my cousin told me to have bruh, buddy, just took off,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: bro and shout out to my boy Danny. Man, my
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: boy Danny. He did the same thing with me with
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the baby. He showed me the baby when the baby
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: had twenty thousand followers, Bro, and he's like, Yo, this
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: dude right here, he's about to be the next one
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: other fuck up.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And you saw there's very very low artists, very handful
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of artists you could recognize, Like Bad Bunny did three tours,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: sold out tours without even putting out an album, Like
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: there's there's not a lot of artists we've done that.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That's a crazy level. Like bruh, what you just said
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: for people to like really take that in, Bro, three
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: major tours off the album, off features literally just Bro.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: He sold out tours just off vibes. Yeah, Like that's.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Crazy features and maybe two or three tecks that he
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: did his own. But and that's how he brought everybody
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: with him, Like it's just it's just crazy. I don't
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: want to get into Bad Bunny ram but we we
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: can't win day. But no, it's a good point, like
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Centralcy has the ability, and it's the artists who are
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: so good at what they do be good at more
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: than that facts.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And Central she's still young in that, like Jersey got
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to be major artist Journey, so he definitely has time
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to blossom and said, but I would definitely like to
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: see it because I.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Enjoyed it for those people to be on his album
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and have those kind of features at this level and
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: being overseas artist. I'm about to listen to that on
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the way home.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, I think I think you're gonna enjoy it, man,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: because it's definitely a dope sound, and like I said,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he's a pretty dope artist.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I was pleased overall with the album, and I gotta
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: add some of the joints in my rotation.
