• 1:48
  Speaker 1: big shout out to Hot New hip Hop, Instagram and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of places where I'm getting some of these
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: stories from. Let's get right to the business stuff. Snoop
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Dogg has a biopic that's supposed to drop, I believe
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: next year. Let's see this is coming from hotnewhip Hop
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: dot com. Snoop Dogg's biopick has a release date. It
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: says this Snoop Dogg is getting his very own biopick,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and a new report suggests that the project will be
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: released in summer of twenty twenty seven. If you don't know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that's next year. And that's kind of crazy that it's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that soon. Now, I'm not gonna lie for some reason,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not that excited for this, and it's it doesn't have,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you know, like Snoop Dogg controversial stuff aside, there's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: part of me that should be excited because of the story. Right,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: if you've been listening to Snoop since his debut, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: know there's a there should be a part of you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that wants to see that story. But the difference is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: compared to Straight out of Compton and compared to Michael
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's documentary is when I found out who was directing,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is gonna be good. And I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't wrong, right f Gary Gray did Sloop should get him,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but he did Straight out of Compton. I mean again,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I always talk about it. I've talked about it on
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: this channel. When when I was in the theater and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not you know, the trailers was crazy. But when I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: was in the theater to watch Straight out of Compton
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and that joint opened with easy walking up to a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: drug house and then it was a drug raid, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, we locked We locked in, Like this
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is this is how you start. And the same thing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with Michael, you know, knowing, I think it's an korn
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: fu con Like you know, a notable director who's done
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a bunch of dope films. You just know that the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: story and the visuals and the authenticity is in good hands.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what to expect. I'm interested, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: am not interested in Snoop Dogg's lies because Snoopy lying
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: or he forgets one of the other. A couple of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: times he lied about the whole Tupac and NAS meeting
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and how it went down. And I say that only
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: because he told two different stories at two different times.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: One minute NAS was surrounded, next minute they were surrounded,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and then there were people you know, in parks. I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was like, Snoop wasn't even standing there with us, like so,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean. It's kind of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like I don't want him to embellish his story in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: any way or miss represent something in hip hop history
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that can be you know, you know how that go
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: movie drop. And then there's a ton of interviews with
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: guys who are around not saying they're telling the truth,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but sometimes it seems true, guys who are around saying, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it didn't really go down like that, blah blah blah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, but there's not a lot of buzz
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: around it right now, especially for something that's supposed to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: release next year, like Who's Who's Let me hold on,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: let me go back man, and just read let's see.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I'm not seeing any information about this
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: according to Variety, and exact release date has been confirmed
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for the movie what You can expect this to drop
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on August sixth, twenty twenty seven. This will be a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: partnership between Universal and death Row Pictures. If you don't know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Snoop owns death Row Records now, so I guess he
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: started deaf Rol Pictures. I can tell you one person
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: who's definitely going to say what didn't happen? And as
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: dads just go to his ig and you'll see you'll
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: see what I mean. But I'm looking forward to a trailer,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know. I like the fact that it'll come out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that soon, but I need to know, like who's playing Snoop,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you know, is it a good actor and will they
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: really really cover like a lot of it because Snoop
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: has a really crazy career when you look at it
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in hindsight, given his celebrity now versus who he was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: during his debut. I just want to see something faithful,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know, to Snoop's life. So we'll see next thirty
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: eight Special has a response to Jadakiss, and I guess
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the fans and bloggers and nerves or whatever he chooses
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to call some of us call Fool's mate. The cover
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is a chessboard and he's showing a move, and I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: don't know what to think. I like thirty eight Special
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: as a rapper and MC and I think he's extra nice.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I kind of didn't like how he was going at
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Jadakiss though, Like I said on my last episode, I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thought he should have gave Jadakiss some grace considering you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Jada just wasn't as hungry. So but then Jada responded
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and it was one of the best Jadakiss verses I've
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: ever heard in years. And now, finally after saying everything
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but right down, bars, we're going to get some bars. Now,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. As of the recording of this video,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard it yet. It is Friday, July twenty fourth,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: eleven am when I'm recording this. Don't judge me when
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you're dry. But on his ig it says, in quotes,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: fools made my response midnight tonight. Now I feel like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: why wait, let's get Friday popping. Let's not spend the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: whole day speculating. But you know, maybe that's what Saturdays
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: for now. I think the timing is kind of dope too,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: because the response that Jadakidds had which is on a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: crazy song featuring you know, Stove God Cooks on the hook.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, Joe, it's called Aroma. They shot a video
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for it, so I think specials trying to, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: so he don't get stomped out, like with people watching
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that video and being like, that's it. We don't care
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: what that guy say. Some people don't. I think he's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of it by having a response.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't know when the video drops. So whether
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the video drops today or I don't think it's dropped
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: already or tomorrow, the many people see those visuals and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the conversation sparks up again about Jada versus thirty eight Special.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight Special will have a response. Now here's the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: crazy thing. You don't think Kiss has a response. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: know what Bleek was trying to tell Jadakiss. You saw
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Jadakis's face like, I think you're kind of talking crazy, right,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And Bleak was right, you know what I'm saying, like, Yo,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they gotta go at you because you like one of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the kings in this thing. But it depends on what
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: thirty eight Special says. I think Jim Jones is probably
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going to get that work. I don't think it's just
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: going to be about Kiss. I think he's probably gonna
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: say less about Jada Kiss directly and more about the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: guys who drop records dissing him and bo. It just
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: depends on what he says exactly, you know. So I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: don't know. Will we'll see, We'll see how far it goes.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind a little sparring. But this is the thing,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: right It's not gonna make Jadakiss fans become thirty eight
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: special fans. You either like him already or you don't,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: right special. The best he can do is stand his
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ground and have people respect his bars against Kiss because
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: he'll never win. He's not gonna even if he wins,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He's not going to win. This is Jadakiss. This is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: why you don't do stuff like this. But if Jadakis
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: has a response that's anywhere near better than his or
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: crazy or completely direct or whatever you want to say,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that's not going to be a good look. It won't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: matter what spec says after that. There are people who
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are already looking at him like he has the audacity
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to speak on Jadakiss. So we'll see what I'll do.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Right here, on this channel is I'll probably like once
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I get to listen to it, probably on Saturday, I'll
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: post like a real of my response. So subscribe to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the channel. Hit the notification bell so you're notified anytime
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a new video is up. Because I don't really have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a dog in this fight, I'm I'm a Jadakiss fan.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I've become a thirty eight specih fan. I really wasn't
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: because I really didn't like like its voice. I'm just
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: saying that's how I felt. But I can't deny the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: dude is dumb nice and I've gotten over that voice thing.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's not the biggest thing in the world to me,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm curious. I like it. I like that specially
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: stop going on podcasts and talking and moving the gold
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: post and he's just like, bars, here I go. Y'all
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: wanted this. Here I go, so we'll see and last listen. So,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, y'all noticed, it's been a slow week this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: week in hip hop. A number of releases that came
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: out that I'm you know, checking out, none of which
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like I want to review here. But during
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the week, you know, when I was just doing my
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: usual you know, whether i'm driving somewhere or I'm in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the gym and I'm listening to music. I've realized that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they're just albums that have released in the past couple
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of years that I just go to, you know what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, quite often like they're new. Now. Granted, there's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: some albums that have dropped as recent as last year
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that are still in my rotation. And the only reason
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: why that's significant today in hip hop is because we
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: get so much hip hop music that people can love
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: an album that dropped last year, but they don't always
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: go back, or they don't talk about it and stuff
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: like that. So I just want to let you know
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the albums that are kind of in heavy rotation, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they're not brand new for me. So let's just start
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: from the top. It's five, all right, starting with and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: again some of these, some of these, if not most
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of these, are pretty predictable if you've been following me,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But clips like I sought them out. I don't listen
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: as much as I listened in twenty twenty five, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I listened a lot still, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's just something about how this album starts all the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: way to the ended It's just a great album, bars
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and moments and features, and you know, I never get
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: tired of it, to be honest. So next another one,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Mob Deep Infinite. During the whole mass appeal rollout, there
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: were a couple of albums I like, right. I like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Ray Kwan's Joint a lot. I liked Dayla Soul a lot.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, day I Soul album was extraordinary,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: but I kept going back to mom D. I just
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe what Havoc and Alchemists were able to accomplish
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: with vocals from Prodigy rest in p to make it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: sound like he was a part of the creation of
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this album, and he also sounds it's almost like he's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: still here in a lot of ways, not just the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: verses and bars, but things that he says right, And
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I just feel like this doesn't feel like a posthumous album.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: This just feels like another mob D, a new Mob
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Deep album. That's how it feels. Beats a crazy features
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: like Nas does his thing on there, like having in
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Pee sound like Having and Pee still, So it just
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: stays in my rotation, you know what I'm saying, And
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it's hard to not keep listening, you know, because again,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like I should just move on because
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: all that was last year and this new stuff, Like
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to new stuff I like, but that one
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: stays in rotation. Another one from last year, wilet everything
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: is a lot. This is my favorite. And I say
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that as a person that doesn't usually like Wallet's albums,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the albums. I like songs. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: like a lot of songs, and I really like his
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: mixtape days like back in the Day or whatever, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this one was perfect, like for me considering I'm a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: nineties cat, right, I grew up in the nineties. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: grew up in the eighties, but you know, I was
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: college years, you know what I'm saying in high school
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: early nineties. Saw a lot of those familiar samples because
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he has a lot of them R and B samples.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But also you know how he was writing and how
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it all ties together. It just was a dope album
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for him. Did it deserve to Grammy over the clips? No?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It did not. Okay, stop yourself because with the clips,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I never skip a song like none Well wile a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the one joint that kind of sounded like a Rick
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Ross staff out beat from back in the days. That one.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't need that one, because I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: feel like the vibe when you hear the first three
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: records on Wallet's album, but to me, that should have
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: been a whole vibe. And it continues later on. But
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there are songs that kind of like afrobeat records. They're
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: not too bad, but they kind of change it, switch
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: up the tone of the album. I think those fit
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit better than the one I was talking
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: about that kind of sounds like a Rickross joint, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: nevertheless doesn't stop me from listening. I'm still running this
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: wald At album like it dropped yesterday, like somebody has
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to drop something to replace it. It sounds too good,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just keep running it until that happens.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Next one, Nipsey Hustle Victory Lab. This one, I don't
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: always listen, but I feel like every couple of months
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: or so, there's like a mandatory listen. Like there was
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: something about Nipsy, how he approached hip hop, how he
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: talked about things, and this album in particular, this moment
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in time that I always feel like after listening to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: all this hip hop old and new, you know, I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like to revisit, and I do it quite often. It
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of reasonable doubt. Right. You feel
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: like you're hearing from a hustler who has a lot
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of wisdom and some bars and some dope beats and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: some dope features, and it's just a different listen, you
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, than just listening to any hip
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: hop album that kind of has those same qualities. So
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I always go back to Victory Lap, you know, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: have mixtapes and other Nipsey Hustle albums. But also it
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: just reminds me of a time before, you know, he
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: was murdered where I was kind of proud of Nipsy
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for like taking that next step with his music, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: being at the Grammys and all of that. You know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: unfortunately what happened happened, But I never think about that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It always makes me think about him rising at that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: point in time in his career. So and lastly, it
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: was an album I just mentioned jay Z Reasonable Doubt.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I listened to this album at least once a year,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: but lately, you know, as jay Z started making announcements
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, shout out to my man Jay. We
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: did the thirty years of reasonable doubt. I used to
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: listen to this album religiously at one point in the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: late nineties early two thousands, Like I might have did
• 19:50
