2:27
Speaker 1: Hop DX and Complex and social media. Let's do it same.
2:33
Speaker 1: So you probably are on social media. You probably pay attention.
2:38
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm talking to these people right not you other
2:41
Speaker 1: guys watch and you might have said to yourself, what
2:45
Speaker 1: is going on with fifty cent in TI and his family,
2:50
Speaker 1: Like what's happening? Here's the timeline Because we're not going
2:53
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on this because This
2:55
Speaker 1: is in a serious rap battle in my opinion, but
3:00
Speaker 1: we're going to say what's happening. So TI, in an
3:04
Speaker 1: interview talked about a versus that was allegedly set up
3:09
Speaker 1: between him and fifty cent to I say allegedly because
3:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, you can confirm in the comments,
3:17
Speaker 1: but fifty, I mean, TI said that fifty chickened out
3:24
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do a versus against him, right,
3:28
Speaker 1: And so, you know, fifty, who is an internet troll
3:33
Speaker 1: beyond the other work he does, like on television and
3:37
Speaker 1: stuff like that, he started trolling, right, but it's sort
3:45
Speaker 1: of escalated because he posted a picture of Tiny, who
3:51
Speaker 1: is Tiny from the group Escape, who is TI's wife
3:57
Speaker 1: and obviously the mother of his children, and his children
4:01
Speaker 1: are of age. So they started responding, you know, and
4:07
Speaker 1: t I responded with what I.
4:10
Speaker 2: Believe is FO disc records. Right.
4:14
Speaker 1: First one, I was just kind of like, yeah, it's cool,
4:18
Speaker 1: but I really liked the part where he started talking
4:20
Speaker 1: about like being a black man. I was like, oh, okay,
4:26
Speaker 1: t I right, But he dropped four disc records. Then
4:30
Speaker 1: his son, I don't know his name, y'all, the one
4:33
Speaker 1: with the pink lips, like that him. You know what
4:35
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, right, I'm not wrong. Just put his
4:38
Speaker 1: name in the comments. I'll get it right. But nevertheless,
4:43
Speaker 1: he was hot because he should be. That's his mama, like,
4:47
Speaker 1: it don't matter what you may feel. You may have
4:50
Speaker 1: thought that picture was funny also when Fifty posted it,
4:53
Speaker 1: but that's somebody's mama. That's how people get that's how
4:56
Speaker 1: you're supposed to get down, right, So he was angry.
5:00
Speaker 1: He posted some paperwork because I know everybody paying attention
5:03
Speaker 1: to the this record, but some paperwork on fifty being.
5:07
Speaker 2: A snitch, which has always kind of happened.
5:10
Speaker 1: Then, who knows, maybe it's the same paperwork that came
5:12
Speaker 1: out a while ago that I don't know Joe Ruling
5:15
Speaker 1: them put out. But then he had a freestyle dissing them.
5:20
Speaker 1: It was trash. I'm not gonna lie. But then their son,
5:24
Speaker 1: who like to me, he rapped real like the way
5:27
Speaker 1: we like rap.
5:29
Speaker 2: He put out a record called MS. Jackson.
5:32
Speaker 1: And what I didn't say about the younger son versus
5:36
Speaker 1: his oldest son is they're talking about fifties moms and
5:42
Speaker 1: they've been going heavy, especially the younger son, heavy on
5:47
Speaker 1: fifties moms Now, if you don't know, fifty cents mother
5:50
Speaker 1: was murdered years ago. I think he might have been
5:53
Speaker 1: like eight or something like that when that happened. And
5:56
Speaker 1: TI's son posted a picture of fifty as a young
6:00
Speaker 1: kid holding up a pitchure. I guess he drew up
6:03
Speaker 1: his mother and he was like, you're an artist, go
6:05
Speaker 1: do art, you know, dig your mother up? Can you
6:08
Speaker 1: be with your mother? And I was like, na, Ti,
6:12
Speaker 1: you got to stop him on that. Like it's one thing.
6:16
Speaker 1: It's one thing to talk about, you know, rap skills
6:21
Speaker 1: or your movements as a businessman, you know, ducking the
6:26
Speaker 1: versus all that's fair game. But when you start saying,
6:31
Speaker 1: dig your mama up. Now, I'm not saying fifty gonna
6:35
Speaker 1: go and try to fight a little kid.
6:37
Speaker 2: I would hope not. But he's of age enough to know, like.
6:44
Speaker 1: Maybe should just said that in private, because what it
6:47
Speaker 1: does is in this situation is making originally it's making
6:53
Speaker 1: fifty just look like this troll and this bully, because
6:56
Speaker 1: why bring Tiny into the situation when it's really just
7:00
Speaker 1: about Ti. He a rapper and he rapping at you,
7:03
Speaker 1: then that's what it should be. But fifty really stopped
7:09
Speaker 1: being that guy, even though he didn't stop rapping, he
7:12
Speaker 1: stopped being the I'm a start a beef and then
7:16
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back and forth for on records, just
7:19
Speaker 1: as Jim Jones in them.
7:20
Speaker 2: Right, So what happened? Fifty didn't write one bar about them?
7:28
Speaker 1: Now, the same thing could be said here, right, t
7:31
Speaker 1: I got four songs, his sons then put songs out
7:34
Speaker 1: like they going hard, and Fifties really responded with tweets
7:38
Speaker 1: and Instagram posts and stuff like that. But I don't
7:41
Speaker 1: know why people fall into this trap every time when
7:43
Speaker 1: it comes to this guy. Pay attention to the movements. Now,
7:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what I think in regards to
7:51
Speaker 1: fifty and responses, and then we're gonna move on because
7:55
Speaker 1: I don't care about the gossip. Right, if he ain't
7:58
Speaker 1: rapping for real, who cares? If you get a song
8:03
Speaker 1: from fifty, it will be after he's made some kind
8:07
Speaker 1: of move against t I.
8:09
Speaker 2: Right.
8:09
Speaker 1: Let's like think about Jim Jones, Jim Jones, Mano Davies
8:16
Speaker 1: and Fabulous and Fabulous had by far the best verse,
8:21
Speaker 1: but they all made lyrics about fifty because they you know,
8:28
Speaker 1: their whole situation started when they were saying Fifty was
8:31
Speaker 1: wrong for making the documentary about Diddy, and Fifty responded
8:37
Speaker 1: by saying to Jim Jones, who had the podcast space,
8:41
Speaker 1: you know you're behind in your rent.
8:44
Speaker 2: Don't make me buy that place or buy a stake
8:47
Speaker 2: in it.
8:49
Speaker 1: And he wound up doing that, and Jim Jones was
8:52
Speaker 1: still behind and he was locked out.
8:57
Speaker 2: In all kinds of things. Lights was cut, the lights off,
8:59
Speaker 2: everything was locked out, okay.
9:03
Speaker 1: And that's video footage of Jim Jones trying to kick
9:06
Speaker 1: his way in, which is so stupid.
9:07
Speaker 2: You're on camera. You're going to court, dog like you're
9:10
Speaker 2: going to court like this.
9:12
Speaker 1: This is why I don't like about y'all on the
9:15
Speaker 1: internet talking about street and hip hop as if it's
9:17
Speaker 1: the same thing and ignoring business. Dog, you can't do that.
9:21
Speaker 1: And guess what, maybe you're gonna go on a run
9:24
Speaker 1: if you're so street. I ain't paying that, Okay, they
9:29
Speaker 1: gonna come find you and I'm gonna get my money.
9:33
Speaker 1: So I think fifty would make a move on TI
9:38
Speaker 1: in some way that would impact TI directly, because I
9:43
Speaker 1: don't think doing that doing anything against the kids or
9:46
Speaker 1: Tiny again, don't do that, okay, But T I had
9:54
Speaker 1: some serious gun charges. I know y'all forgot and some
9:58
Speaker 1: serious gun charges. So what if there's paperwork and maybe
10:02
Speaker 1: that's the fifties getting that. But even if he does that,
10:05
Speaker 1: and I know some people say, well, he still ain't
10:07
Speaker 1: rapping fifties the type to do that, watch people's reaction
10:14
Speaker 1: and then rap about it, because he's just going to
10:18
Speaker 1: rap to confirm Jim Jones is cold trying to get inside.
10:22
Speaker 2: For the meat. But we saw the video and we
10:25
Speaker 2: were like, oh, he said that.
10:28
Speaker 1: So if he got something for TI, he's going to
10:31
Speaker 1: make that move first. If he was smart, he would
10:35
Speaker 1: just reveal it, right, I'll push your t with Drake
10:40
Speaker 1: and his son, like you know while you hiding that boy,
10:44
Speaker 1: it was like, oh wait, what what is he hiding?
10:49
Speaker 1: So it could be one of those things where that's
10:54
Speaker 1: how things play out or they just flame out, right,
10:57
Speaker 1: Because to be honest, as a real hip hop head,
11:00
Speaker 1: and I don't even like to use that term, I
11:04
Speaker 1: feel like I don't take this seriously. I would have
11:08
Speaker 1: taken it seriously if with the first disc record that
11:13
Speaker 1: TI put out, fifty followed with a freestyle, then I
11:17
Speaker 1: would have been like.
11:17
Speaker 2: Oh, But also I would have preferred.
11:21
Speaker 1: This happened about twenty years ago when they both were
11:26
Speaker 1: really active, because let's not forget t. I just got
11:30
Speaker 1: active again after a failed comedy situation.
11:35
Speaker 2: I know y'all didn't forget that, did you?
11:39
Speaker 1: So he got active again, and I don't mind because
11:41
Speaker 1: I think TI is at his best when he's making
11:43
Speaker 1: music and his catalog is slept on. He got more
11:50
Speaker 1: heat than duds. I don't even know if he has
11:52
Speaker 1: a whack album, to be honest. So there's that. But
11:57
Speaker 1: we know that fifty as a rapper, he hasn't been
12:02
Speaker 1: completely active right a verse here verse there is not
12:05
Speaker 1: necessarily being active. NAS is active, Okay, nas is active.
12:12
Speaker 1: Fifty is more so like I can still do it.
12:15
Speaker 1: I do it for business. I do it for exposure, well,
12:19
Speaker 1: which is all business. He's not rapping for supremacy, right
12:25
Speaker 1: or to add to his legend as a rapper, fifty
12:29
Speaker 1: is literally doing things as a brand. Literally, So that's
12:35
Speaker 1: what I think about it. I mean, y'all tell me
12:37
Speaker 1: what y'all think. Did you like to dis records that
12:40
Speaker 1: came from TI and his kids? Do you want fifty
12:43
Speaker 1: cent to respond or do you not care? Leave your
12:48
Speaker 1: comments in a comment section below next. So maybe like
12:54
Speaker 1: two or three years ago, it could be more. I
12:58
Speaker 1: just don't remember. I didn't know that you could vote
13:02
Speaker 1: for nominees in the Rock and Rock and Roll Hall
13:05
Speaker 1: of Fame and any of those fan votes of things
13:10
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about, like music, like sports. I typically put
13:16
Speaker 1: my vote in because I care right. I also vote
13:21
Speaker 1: when it comes to government, so back off internet, you know, activists.
13:27
Speaker 1: But it came up in my email it was time
13:31
Speaker 1: to vote for the twenty twenty six Rock and Roll
13:34
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and I had no idea who the
13:36
Speaker 1: nominees were. Just for an example, here are examples of
13:42
Speaker 1: people who were.
13:45
Speaker 2: Who else? I think Missy's in there, right, yeah, Missy
13:50
Speaker 2: Salt and Pepper.
13:51
Speaker 1: Last year, Jay z Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Outcast, Tribe, Run,
13:56
Speaker 1: dmc l L, and Public Enemy. But this year, the
14:02
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six nominees that aren't all hip hop and
14:05
Speaker 1: R and B right is rock and Roll Hall of
14:08
Speaker 1: Fame included the Black Crows, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins,
14:16
Speaker 1: Melissa Elthradge.
14:18
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with her.
14:20
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill, Billy Idol, Iron, Maiden, Joy Division new Order.
14:28
Speaker 2: I'm really not familiar with that new addition.
14:31
Speaker 1: Oasis, Pink, Shade, Shakira, Luther Vandros and Wu Tang Klan
14:38
Speaker 1: and who did.
14:40
Speaker 2: I vote for? You?
14:41
Speaker 1: I think you could only vote for I think seven nominees,
14:47
Speaker 1: and some of them are very easy. But here's my
14:51
Speaker 1: seven because I gotta look at the list again. I'm
14:55
Speaker 1: old man Phil Collins. Surprise, he's not in there anyway,
15:00
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill, Iron Maiden. You didn't think I listened to
15:05
Speaker 1: that music, did you? New addition? Come on, man, that's
15:10
Speaker 1: a layup. Shade, Luther Van Luther was the first person
15:18
Speaker 1: I chose, Okay, and lastly Wu Tang Clan. Of course
15:23
Speaker 1: I did for the Wool. Who do I think will
15:29
Speaker 1: get in this year? I think the Wool is absolutely
15:32
Speaker 1: getting in, hands down. I'm afraid for Luther because y'all
15:37
Speaker 1: be forgetting about Luther. Hopefully the documentary reminded y'all of
15:42
Speaker 1: his talents. I think Shade is getting in. I think
15:47
Speaker 1: Pink is probably getting in. Y'all better show up for
15:52
Speaker 1: new addition.
15:52
Speaker 2: I'm saying I think Iron Maiden is getting in.
15:57
Speaker 1: I think Phil Collins is getting in also, And I
16:01
Speaker 1: don't I don't think Lauren's getting in this time. I
16:05
Speaker 1: think Mariah Carey might get in as a result, because
16:10
Speaker 1: she's obviously had a lot of hits, She's had a
16:14
Speaker 1: couple of you know, dope albums in her history, and
16:18
Speaker 1: then she has an annual classic record that I hate
16:23
Speaker 1: to hear sometimes in her Christmas record that you know
16:27
Speaker 1: and I know, just don't say the name loud because
16:30
Speaker 1: we don't want it to come back, okay till next year.
16:35
Speaker 2: Now.
16:37
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend too much time on this,
16:39
Speaker 1: and I know I say this all the time, but
16:40
Speaker 1: I absolutely need it. And I'm not going to use
16:44
Speaker 1: his name, but the homie, the guy from the band Kiss,
16:52
Speaker 1: who feels like rappers and other people outside of rock
16:56
Speaker 1: and roll shouldn't be a part of the rock and
16:59
Speaker 1: roll Hall of Fame. And I think a lot of
17:01
Speaker 1: hip hop fans kind of feel the same way also,
17:04
Speaker 1: like it's cool, but it's also like we need a
17:08
Speaker 1: hip hop Hall of Fame, and I believe that's on
17:12
Speaker 1: the way, but that takes money and backing, and like
17:15
Speaker 1: it just has to be a thing for real, right
17:20
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to happen. But the rock
17:24
Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame when they started to add
17:28
Speaker 1: people to, you know, as nominees that weren't like rock
17:35
Speaker 1: stars or rock and roll, you know, artists and musicians.
17:42
Speaker 1: I think it was the idea of what a rock
17:45
Speaker 1: star is, right. It's a little bit of impact and
17:50
Speaker 1: influence and popularity and your work your career, right, like
17:57
Speaker 1: the music you've created, people you've collaborated with, probably way
18:01
Speaker 1: more on the impact side, and rock and roll is
18:06
Speaker 1: just a framing. So it's not really just a genre
18:10
Speaker 1: of music Hall of Fame. It's more like if they
18:15
Speaker 1: called it the superstar Hall of Fame. That's what I
18:18
Speaker 1: think it is, because the WO is like international popularity
18:26
Speaker 1: and a lot of those.
18:26
Speaker 2: Got eminem jay Z, Nas Biggie.
18:29
Speaker 1: Like, all of those guys are kind of on that
18:32
Speaker 1: level right as far as popularity and musical impact. But
18:40
Speaker 1: I think what confusing is because at one point, not
18:45
Speaker 1: too long ago, they were just kind of known for
18:48
Speaker 1: that rock and roll. This is the rock and roll
18:50
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. But for those who like to say
18:54
Speaker 1: the you know, like to play the race card, and
18:57
Speaker 1: sometimes I don't like to say that because that the
18:59
Speaker 1: mint that takes away from the discussion, right, it says
19:05
Speaker 1: that it's not important because they're trying to throw this
19:08
Speaker 1: veil over your eyes called the race card and make
19:11
Speaker 1: it about race.
19:12
Speaker 2: But guess what it is about race?
19:14
Speaker 1: Because if you want to talk rock and roll and
19:17
Speaker 1: who started it right and the biggest influencers, I mean,
19:23
Speaker 1: little Richard.
19:23
Speaker 2: Told you all the time.
19:25
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, don't believe Back to the
19:28
Speaker 1: Future because that didn't happen. Chuck Berry did that for real,
19:34
Speaker 1: and it wasn't somebody from the future doing what he does.
19:38
Speaker 1: And his cousin had to put him on the phone
19:41
Speaker 1: to be like, Chuck Barry, No, it didn't happen. Okay,
19:45
Speaker 1: now that's providing you saw Back to the Future. I
19:49
Speaker 1: may be dated, but it's one of my favorite movies.
19:52
Speaker 1: So Chuck Barry, Jimmy Hendrix, little Richard, we are rock
19:58
Speaker 1: and roll, okay. But the Rock and Roll Hall of
20:03
Speaker 1: Fame never shied away from that either. So it's one
20:06
Speaker 1: of those things where I get it from somebody like him.
20:11
Speaker 1: You know, all that hip hop coming over here and
20:14
Speaker 1: taking over In some ways, it's true, right because when
20:18
Speaker 1: I look at the list, I was like, damn louten
20:20
Speaker 1: on here. But they have their reasons, and I voted
20:27
Speaker 1: for and I mean I voted for Iron made it right.
20:30
Speaker 1: It can't be all R and B and hip hop
20:34
Speaker 1: getting in there, like I can't. I couldn't believe Phil
20:36
Speaker 1: Collins wasn't already in there, So you know what I mean.
20:39
Speaker 1: Like it was more so about, at least for me
20:42
Speaker 1: as someone who's voting, knowing the music of these artists,
20:48
Speaker 1: knowing the impact on their fan base and the genre
20:52
Speaker 1: as a whole, and their status as superstars. And when
20:57
Speaker 1: it comes to hip hop, when you look at who's
20:59
Speaker 1: already in there, imagine those who aren't in there when
21:04
Speaker 1: you're talking about impact, right, like rock Kim will probably
21:10
Speaker 1: never get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
21:13
Speaker 1: and not because he has the biggest impact. He influenced
21:17
Speaker 1: the guys who's already in there, But Rak Kim didn't
21:22
Speaker 1: sell a lot of records. And rak Kim is more
21:25
Speaker 1: so you know him within hip hop as the god,
21:30
Speaker 1: but outside of that, some people aren't familiar. They may
21:34
Speaker 1: be familiar with his songs, but sometimes people don't connect
21:37
Speaker 1: songs to the person, and that means you're not having
21:40
Speaker 1: the same type of impact. So those were the people
21:46
Speaker 1: I voted for we'll see who gets in. But it
21:49
Speaker 1: was dope to see a lot of great artists nominated,
21:52
Speaker 1: especially those like Shade and Luther.
21:57
Speaker 2: And Phil Collins, who.
22:00
Speaker 1: You think, like, man, the music they have here for you,
22:04
Speaker 1: especially like in their prime or whatever, or just throughout
22:07
Speaker 1: their career, they deserved that kind of recognition.
22:11
Speaker 2: So lastly, so.
22:16
Speaker 1: I saw this story and I was a little bit
22:19
Speaker 1: distracted by the pictures that they chose to use because
22:22
Speaker 1: it was like skinny Buster with this crazy outfit on.
22:24
Speaker 1: But then I forgot that's how Buster used to dress
22:28
Speaker 1: at one point in time, which isn't.
22:34
Speaker 2: It's not the worst thing in the world.
22:35
Speaker 1: I think it just was different because when he had
22:37
Speaker 1: the locks, it was like a part of the outfit,
22:41
Speaker 1: so it kind of worked for Buster. Now he got
22:44
Speaker 1: the black shoe, polished Caesar with the weird outfit on
22:50
Speaker 1: it and the teeth, and it looks kind of crazy
22:53
Speaker 1: like it just does.
22:54
Speaker 2: But that's not the point. I was distracted by that.
22:56
Speaker 1: But then I saw that Buster rhymes and this is
22:59
Speaker 1: ondx dot com.
23:01
Speaker 2: Go check them out.
23:02
Speaker 1: Buster Rhymes and j Diller dropping new album Diligence two
23:09
Speaker 1: and this is dropping this year. So the Flip Mode
23:13
Speaker 1: Squad front Man held a listening session in New York
23:16
Speaker 1: City on February twentieth for Diligence to the sequel to
23:21
Speaker 1: His Dealer to His and Dealer's original two thousand and
23:26
Speaker 1: seven mixtape. Joined by Static Selector and DJ Tony touch Buster,
23:33
Speaker 1: gave a room full of lucky fans and friends the
23:36
Speaker 1: first opportunity to hear the project, which includes what appears
23:40
Speaker 1: to be a collaboration with Little Wayne.
23:45
Speaker 2: Now, let me see if I could find the release date.
23:51
Speaker 1: Okay, haven't been Further details, such as a release date
23:55
Speaker 1: or track list have yet to be revealed.
23:58
Speaker 2: Now I'm not gonna lie to y'all.
24:01
Speaker 1: Back in seven, I was transitioning from living in Baltimore
24:09
Speaker 1: for like four years and also going to school there.
24:12
Speaker 1: So I was in Baltimore like for like probably like
24:15
Speaker 1: ten years or whatever, but after school I was there.
24:19
Speaker 1: So now I was coming back to the Tri State
24:21
Speaker 1: area buying a house.
24:24
Speaker 2: So music, and I wasn't.
24:26
Speaker 1: Really like heavy on the podcast side or even the
24:30
Speaker 1: blog inside like I became later. So I was I
24:35
Speaker 1: was a casual right, I was checking for what I
24:39
Speaker 1: knew or heard if it was available to go buy.
24:43
Speaker 1: I would buy it and that was it. But I
24:47
Speaker 1: was on the internet and I remember the original Diligence,
24:53
Speaker 1: but I remember the cover and I don't remember not
24:57
Speaker 1: one song. And that doesn't mean that's not a a
25:00
Speaker 1: critique on the project. It's just that it's something that
25:04
Speaker 1: I kind of forget about, and I think I kind
25:07
Speaker 1: of forget about it because of streaming services. Like a
25:12
Speaker 1: lot of times, if things aren't in your face on
25:16
Speaker 1: streaming services, you forget that they even happen. And let
25:20
Speaker 1: me just look real quick on Apple Music, because I'm
25:24
Speaker 1: almost positive this mixtape, the original mixtape Diligence, isn't Underbuster
25:33
Speaker 1: at all.
25:34
Speaker 2: Like all his albums are here, yeah, even the whole up.
25:39
Speaker 1: This is kind of crazy because even his his uh
25:42
Speaker 1: remember he did a whole mixtape with with Q Tip,
25:47
Speaker 1: like the Dragons back or something or somebody chased the dragons.
25:51
Speaker 1: I don't remember some dragons Okay, uh yeah, it's not here,
25:55
Speaker 1: but obviously we can go find it. Obviously we can
25:59
Speaker 1: go list to it and check it out. But it
26:01
Speaker 1: was I would just remember it being a dope project
26:06
Speaker 1: to commemorate the relationship between Jay Diller and Buster Rhymes
26:13
Speaker 1: and to have a part too, it's dope because I
26:15
Speaker 1: remember Buster talking a while back like how he had
26:20
Speaker 1: other joints and he had beat still from Jay Diller
26:24
Speaker 1: and how he was going to use him. So and
26:27
Speaker 1: if static Selector is involved and Tony touched, then this
26:31
Speaker 1: could be dope depending on what it sounds. And honestly,
26:34
Speaker 1: it could be the project that Busters should drop because
26:37
Speaker 1: he put out that one album well let me see,
26:40
Speaker 1: because I erased it from memory, Blockbuster, and nobody liked that.
26:45
Speaker 1: Because when he put out its Extinction Level Event two,
26:50
Speaker 1: every bought that out. Everybody thought that album was crazy, right,
26:55
Speaker 1: too many skits Chris Rock was there?
26:57
Speaker 2: Too much for me? I think it was Chris Rock.
27:00
Speaker 1: But when he put out Blockbuster in twenty twenty three,
27:03
Speaker 1: it was like, oh man, this ain't it Buster. I
27:07
Speaker 1: get it, you're trying to work with the younger people,
27:10
Speaker 1: but does that mean a younger audience now is like, oh,
27:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go listen to all Buster stuff.
27:15
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
27:16
Speaker 1: Sometimes that shit backfights. And then in twenty twenty five
27:23
Speaker 1: he put out a project called Dragon Season and I
27:27
Speaker 1: did not like that either, and don't I don't know why,
27:31
Speaker 1: because it didn't feel like Buster was returning. I think
27:34
Speaker 1: he was responding to the criticism of his previous album,
27:40
Speaker 1: so he just kind of made an extra angry dragon
27:44
Speaker 1: AI filled videos version and it just was kind of lame.
27:50
Speaker 1: This is what we're talking about, Dila on the beats.
27:55
Speaker 1: Maybe you got some Dila versus. Who knows. I think
27:59
Speaker 1: Buster's going to do right by this project, and I
28:01
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be dope, and he gonna be because
28:05
Speaker 1: we know Buster could make classics, not just good albums.
28:09
Speaker 2: Buster can make a classic. But we shall see.
28:14
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do, and it's probably your homework
28:17
Speaker 1: also if you're interested, I'm gonna go listen to Diligence one.
28:22
Speaker 2: I might own it.
28:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go find it, okay, and then I'm gonna
28:27
Speaker 1: listen to it and then kind of keep my eyes on,
28:32
Speaker 1: you know, a potential release, and I do this is
28:34
Speaker 1: this is one thing, is last thing. I'm gonna say
28:36
Speaker 1: this one thing I like about it. Buster probably and
28:42
Speaker 1: he been talking about this for a while, but he
28:44
Speaker 1: probably looked at Common and Pete rock Nas in Primo
28:49
Speaker 1: right l L and Q Tip and said to himself,
28:55
Speaker 1: if I was to drop Lincoln with one producer. I
28:59
Speaker 1: wanted to be, and I already have the records to
29:01
Speaker 1: do it, So that would be crazy. Now if he
29:05
Speaker 1: announced this and this happens to be a part of
29:08
Speaker 1: that mass appeal, you know, imagine that it could be
29:14
Speaker 1: and it would be dope. So we'll see. What do
29:17
