  Speaker 3: yeah interacting verbally, yes, so wow, ecy to see where
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: this podcast goes to.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, the way that we kick off the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: podcast Head your first time here is we do a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: behind the grind, behind the scenes of the grind checking okay,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: because you know, people, we be moving, we've been grooving.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You literally are here for like twenty four hours if
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: even that, literally exactly, and were working all day long
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and people don't ask you how are you doing it?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: If they do, they don't really mean it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: But here, never ask people how they do it because
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I don't be genuinely giving the fuck. So I just
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: so people be like, hey, how you doing? Like, hey,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I don't like ask it back. Yeah, because it's a rhetorical.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Question, that's exactly. So normally, this is exactly why we
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: do it this way the way that we do it here,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: because it is not rhetorical here. So I'm going to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: ask you how are you doing? I honestly want to know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It can be one word, it could be one sentence.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We keep it concise and then we dig a little
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: bit more. But it's real cute, but it's a real
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: check in. Okay, So how you doing that?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Oh blessed is a good know where you was gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: go science?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Now I'm blessed. You know, I'm not sleeping, but I'm blessed.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, why are you feeling blessed? Like is there something
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: specific that happened recently?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: No, it's not that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm definitely blessed with opportunities and stuff. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I think that like anytime I just wake I think
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: life is really cool.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I wake up every.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Day and like I'll be in my house and I
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: see birds outside and may be chirping and ship.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is some cool ship.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Like life in general, like everything is like symbiotic and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: working together, and so I'm just grateful for life and animation.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: But that's a good way to think about things, that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: life is really really cool. I feel blessed in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: moment as well. To Brandon, how you feeling.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling good too, I'm feeling good as well. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: want to ask to what you said earlier about like this,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: how are you questioned? My people I know overseas say
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: that's like an American thing where we'll say how are you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And just walk right past, like we don't really know
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what they do.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Overseas, they'd be like, hi, how are you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Stop and be like, hey, I'm doingcast Americas be like
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: how are you? Just keep it moving, don't even care
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: how you do it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I asked, y'all, hear how y'all doing? I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: really care how you're doing. Oh, so use that I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: stopping here, we're having conversations about you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Was asking so we could just contemplate with ourselves.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't want to know because it'd be a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: lot going on. I feel like people who are career
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: busy and very like career and and like you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: pushing through the grind, be compartmentalized very easily. And that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is a good thing, but it can also be a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: bad thing because eventually, like those compartments get full and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, had I know you don't like to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: vulnerable and stuff, but it's.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Not that I don't like to be vulnerable. I just
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I just expressed myself differently than most people.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll take that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm emotionally divergent, divergent.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Please explain that, because that could have been how you
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: doing today, just like.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You know how people are neuro divergent, which I also
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: subscribe to. I think I'm emotionally divergent, meaning you're just
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: outside of the north.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha, Well, I mean inside or outside of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The reason why I do it is just because I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: feel like in my own personal life, I'm one to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: be like, No, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And then it gets to a point where it starts
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to show and work that I'm not cool, And then
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I got to take a step back.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I think we're scared of the bad answers though, I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: just that, like, God, damn, I got to really console
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you and for you, and now I'm not mad that
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: your mom died anything. But it's a lot to take
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: it when somebody just throws why even indulge.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: To be nice? To be nice, but.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: It's not nice if it's disingenuous, if it's being if
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you're being disingenuous, how is it nice.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm it's just a courtesy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think you got to be I think they'll
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: still take it as a as a gesture.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think you necessarily have to.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I feel like, genuine like genuinely know how somebody is doing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That's a little nosy, Like it's really dull. It's a
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: little nosy to ask how you're doing and expect a
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: deep dive answer.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well I think it's a setting as well too, So
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like here, like if I went like my friends and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: wear a like. It depends on who I'm talking to them,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: where we are. Sometimes I do just say out of courtesy,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: because it's like when you walk into a room you speak,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you have to speak like that type of thing. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in other settings, if I ask, I really like, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: likew you doing, like how are you?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We just deep dive into the hell, let's get at
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the topic. I just want to chime in.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: There is this guy, a monk, Buddhist monk that he escaping,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: moved in New York, you know. Yeah, his name is
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Don Dapani, and he would say, he would say, don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: ask people how you doing, because you're asking to take
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: on that energy. Just send out good energy, like I
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: hope that well. So a lot of times you might
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: hear me say I hope all as well, or I'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: start an email off I hope all as well. If
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: it ain't, then ship I hope. But I ain't ask
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you if it wasn't. I'm just correct.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I start my email stuff like that because I was
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: just trained at work that that's how you do.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but when somebody give you that energy, you asking
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: for a lot because you ain't even start your day
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: sometimes like, ah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Man, but you're feeling okay.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm feeling great. I do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I am beginning to think I may need to get
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: like evaluated. I think I might be on the spectrum
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: a little bit. I think I said something. I'm just
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: starting to think that way.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I might be.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Put it out there, but like.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It is because some people be sensitive.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: So if I say I feel like I might be autistic,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: then they might take that as like a like a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: or if you know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, bro, Yeah, I feel like I'm a
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: little spectomy for sure.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: What made y'all feel that way?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Because we're so different just because I'm neuro divergence is
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: not being the norm. I just think that I'm just
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: completely out the box. Most of time I come off
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: as insane, especially to women.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But Jesus, so it's so crazy.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Though, because I feel like you're like super comforting and
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: like like as a friend, you're like a really good friend.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can I can? I can? I say an interesting?
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: It's kind of okay for us to talk like this
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: too in the beginning because we are the latest, Like
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: we are the latest, We're the next latest people gonna
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: be talking about us, So it's good people talk about
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: him all the time.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're sitting here with big money right now.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we big on your show in our heart building.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Like what's not yet? Not yet?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: People don't be like, I ain't got it. He just
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: said no, all right, Well, speaking of the latest, we
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: are going to get into the latest. And because we
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: have had here, y'all know, we're gonna get into some
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: k I the Kendrick Lamar is the first rapper in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: history to gross over nine million dollars in a single concert.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now it is being reported that the co headlining tour
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: between Kendrick Lamar and Sisa breaks Eminem's twenty nineteen record
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne, grossing that nine hundred million dollars, which is
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a huge, huge deal, especially because in the beginning of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: all this, when the GNX to announcement dropped, people were
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: saying people weren't gonna go out to seek people. People
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: literally said they people did not want to see it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar set, yeah, I.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Don't think that's true, and they would.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: It's like the first thing they need to do is
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: make a comparison between Kendrick and Drake his shows and
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Kendrick shows and then say his shit ain't gonna sell out.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know it was. I was there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I was at the Atlanta show in the Mercedes Benz
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Stadium not not Doom because it's not to be confused,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and mercedeses Been Stadium, and it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Looked crazy to me.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't see Hella open seats and all that kind
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: of shit.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It was packed.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Now, this is a thirty nine stop stadium tour.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That's insane.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I was nine stops, but that's not even including the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: multiple days.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, multiple days in different styles.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: So he's doing three yet so far and at home
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and at met Life. Yeah, two out here, three at home,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: two in Toronto that I know about, so three at
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: home and so far. That's where the super Bowl was,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Like Taylor Swift, I think it's only the person that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: did three days.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: As so far.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really think all that situation with Drake sent
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: them to another stratusphere. Obviously he was selling out before that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: but it really I don't think anybody could deny that
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: he wasn't going to Anybody could say he wasn't going
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to do well after everything phenomenal Kendrick, after that phenomenal
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: year he had like away.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: He wasn't doing that, So you feel like without not
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: like us, he couldn't do this.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: No, No, I think it would have been it would
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: have been a little smaller. But I think he was
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: always selling out, sellout artists though well, because.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I asked you that, because Dad has been the conversation.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The numbers are astronomical.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But when this news broke, the conversation was he needed
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Drake to do this. And people always throw that out
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: there about Kendrick and the conversation right now. But in
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the Big Steppers Tour became the highest
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: grossing raptor of all time. It was eclipsed the following
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: year by Drake. It's all a blurred tour, but it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: did happen first. So I think that I don't know
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: why it is with Kendrick and him. I don't know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe you a little closer to the source. People like that,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like Kendrick like this all just happened overnight for.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Him because people it's two things.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: The first thing is people are super fans of Drake,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: like Drake raised them. So it's like it's like telling
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: them that Santa Claus ain't real.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: You can't tell me that you know.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Like it's certain shit that you can't
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: say about certain people, for instance, even when even when
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: certain people are probably flawed just like everybody else, Like
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like we have moguls that
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: are probably no longer heralded as what as what they
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: once were because you're around to find out that they're
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: just a human being like everybody else, you know what
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And so, my, that's the first thing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: The second thing is he's always been discounted the whole
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the whole time. But he's been discounted for lack of
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: a better way, just saying, oh, he's not a star
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: just because he doesn't indulge in the fruits of being
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: a star. Right, So, and I said this before on
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the air, but I think like he has the same
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: problem that like Yo kich has, you know on the
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets, Like he just win a championship and don't
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: even give a fuck.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: He don't care, He just don't.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: So you have somebody who's completely indulgent in being a superstar,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and you have somebody who don't even give a fuck about.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Being a superstar. Do you do you think Drake being
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a Superstar Drake.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Drake cares about startlem is that a bad thing? Though
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I don't would say it's a bad thing. Nothing is
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: bad and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's how
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you go about it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you don't respect the way d goes about it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Why, It just depends on it depends on what facet like.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: For instance, the way that the way that he uses
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: culture to manipulate I don't.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I don't. I disagree with that because the AI stuff
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: with like snooping.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't even be the AI stuff I'm talking about.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: For instance, when you like, I'm not saying that there
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: aren't rough areas where He's from, but where where I'm from,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: where God is from, you can't we call it false flagging.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: You can't false flag. Like I don't never claim to
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: be a gamer. I'm not a gamer, but I'm considered
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: a non affiliate. So if I get on here and
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: start cousin and blood and stuff, I would get quote
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: unquote g checked when I get back home. But what
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: happens is when you don't get checked, you go without
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: checks and balance. Then you arrive at a place where
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: now you're the dictator of those checks and balances and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I E.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Kanye West, you know what I'm saying.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So now it's like you're allowed to just be whoever
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you want to be without any without any repercussions. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of like what's going on.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, recently, Young Thugs sat down with GQ magazine and
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: they asked him about the whole Kendrick Lamar Drake thing.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: He's like, I don't know where this came from because
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm a Drake fan, Like, I don't understand
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: why Kendrick Lamar brought me into it. Yeah, I mean,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I get what you're saying as far as culture, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: like when you got people like Young Thugs saying like, yeah, nah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: but I don't subscribe to that, doesn't that that doesn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: help what you're saying, because no.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: But everybody has their own experience. Just like some people
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: would say, you know, they're probably individual. There might be
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: individuals that say Weinstein was a good man. You know
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I'm saying, Epstein got you. You know
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I think Kendrick's point was that he
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: was keeping these people around him for credibility exactly.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying if Kendrick's point is you keeping all
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: these people around you for credibility and to be able
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to like, you know what I mean, falsely throw this flag.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: But the people who are around you are like, I mean,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: but that's my booy, that's my homie. It doesn't there's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: no like, there's no checking, there's no big homies that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: are like, no, this is not okay. Correct, Like if
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: young Thug I said, I'm a Drake Finn, but like
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I get with Kendrick is saying, because like, nah, this
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is our shit, that would have been different.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't say that because that's his homie though. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: also see that's what I'm saying, Like, where we're at
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: in the culture is the two things are conflated. You
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: have street, you have we called glasses called street.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Urban culture, and you have rap.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Those two separate things that get conflated because hip hop
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: is looked at as this one umbrella. So where we're from,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you've done something. For instance, you
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: could take Lil Wayne. For instance, Little Wayne is from
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: New Orleans, Louisiana, right, but he's also quote unquote from
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the mob Mob Poude. That's in quote unquote Encompton. Right,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: so if one of my o G hommies, I ain't
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: gonna say no names one of the hommies. And he's
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: like a reptable from that section, and he says, this
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: is my little homie Wayne. He from the section. That's
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: law meaning there's no questioning. You don't get to you don't.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: That's just what it is. It's my homie from and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: now he from the section.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So I'm not saying that
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that's what.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Thug is doing, but it's just different things that are
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: not the same thing.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: One to one in hip hop.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Got you well, I mean, it's coming on a year
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: this week that everything happened. I remember I was in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: y'all remember where y'all were were not like us draw
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, but for real, I was in a party
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: for Single Day Mayo. It was Single Day Mayo, right.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I was in party. I was drunk, I remember, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: then somebody came to me. I was in Delaware and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it was like Kendrid finally dropped because he was waiting
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: on it. Yeah, and then they played then like us.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I felt like Kendrick was trying to say, like when
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: he did the party the party died.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Watch the party die.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Watch the party die. It was like his music did
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: that without saying it right. It was like, I'm gonna
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: show y'all how to party differently. I'm gonna show you
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: how to embrace who you are as a black person.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I feel like Drake's music, while it's good and it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: fancy and you can dance to.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It, I do feel like he he like he didn't.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He didn't grow.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Up the way that we or it doesn't feel like
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: he grew up the way that we did. But he
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: knew how to speak to it. And because he knew
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: how to speak to it, then he can make music
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: around it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And you get what I'm saying.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: How y'all feel about? When Kendrick brought out play with Cardi,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: people were upset about it. They said that like he
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was basically exploiting artists for like the same thing that
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: he accuses Drake of doing. How ya feel about that?
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: It's a bunch of people who aren't part of the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: music game, commenting on the music game. Like he was
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta, he brought out Playboy Cardi, who's from Atlanta,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and they have three songs. DoD gave him three features
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: on the album. Yeah, and they performed one of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: biggest records right now. So I don't understand people are
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: just silly.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So do y'all feel like people are ever going to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: get to a point where like this because you're not
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: like people beef and then we just like on the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: won't even really talk about it. We're talking about this
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: as if like like I mean, it is history, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like we just remembered where
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: we were when songs dropped. You think that that feeling
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: will last like generational or like eventually, like.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yo, what feeling of this specific?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Like, yo, you remember where you were when not like
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a dropped when the beef started.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I think it was definitely a moment in time hip
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: hop especially I definitely always.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Remember numbers why super Bowl?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: But then the only comparison that I can have that
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I remember and I was young was jay Z and
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Nas and I felt like that for a long time,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: and they became friends on top of that, like damn Drake,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and then after they became friends, look how long it
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: took for people to actually like, all right, like okay,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: they're friends, Like.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's not a game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think Drake and Kendrick ever becoming friends.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And I think in the moment of that is.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: That I mean, am I crazy for I don't see
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: your happiness? Yeah, I don't see that happening.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Weren't before.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: But also you got to understand, like he one person
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: crossed the line before the other person. So I think
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: that's the nuance. It gets lost in translation. It's just
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: like you know, it's like if he said it in
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the record. But when you get offer, when you offer
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: somebody a friend, that's amongst the homies, like if we homies,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I'll offer you a friendly fade.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That's like that. Again. That's where I.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Think the disconnected is happening in these conversations street urban culture,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: rap music and rap music. He can't say that about
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: you street urban culture. There is no rules rap world.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Is you cross the line street urban culture. I gave
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: you a line, you crossed it. Now it's now, it
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter now no lines exist. That's the difference.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what happened.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: So it was a specific line cross that's your a
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: fan to I mean, I think he said, we ain't
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: got to keep we ain't gotta make it personal. I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: think Drake made it personal first and then after that
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: all see the thing is once.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Where where where I'm where we're from?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: If I give you a line and I say, hey, bro,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: let's let's have a fight because we just having a disagreement, right,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and you tell me where I'm from, you tell me
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: all right, look that we could fight. But you know,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: like I got shot and I got I got a
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: bad rib. Don't hit me in my rib. Just keep
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: you and I just keep I hit you in the rib.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You like, bro, what the fuck?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: There are no rules because you gave me the line
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: and I stepped over it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, behind the scenes, because there were there were things
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: that claims of like people being removed from like songs
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: or like something like that because they were associated with
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Kendrick and then the lawsuit came and like like that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: type of stuff. Or was it like Drake was really
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: trying to be outside in the streets.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: No, it ain't none of that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: It's just if I have a conversation with you about
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: what the line is.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: So they had a conversation about what the I'm.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Not saying that I'm saying.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: If I do have a conversation with you and you
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: step over that line, that we that I that I
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: presented to you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Now it's up.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I thought, like low key put it into music though,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: like yo, well, once you talked about his family and
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: his children and who they messing with, stuff like that,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: that's the line.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: If I tell you my line and you intentionally cross it,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: there is no such thing as I went too far.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we don't even have time to get
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to other topics because you had such a great comments.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So no, but I've enjoyed the hanging out with the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: guys on the podcast today. We do so what we
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: do after we get through our latest our topic rundown
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: is we take it outside to the streets and the tweets,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: which is anything that's happened in conversation on the internet
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: for the teet be outside, were outside, we outside.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Okad tweets every other page.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: So I actually went to your twitter head and oh
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: my god.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: You're such I feel like people never earn the list.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: People will never remember what they tweeted.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Oh I know everything you tweeted in twenty thirteen.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I stand on my tweets.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I don't have a tweets before twenty fourteen because I
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: got rid of them. But anything after twenty oh yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I gotta put you off. You got no, you don't.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but yeah, I'm a nerd, so I'll
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: figure it out. But yeah, so any tweet that just
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: out there, I stayed on my shit.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean it wasn't a crazy one. But now
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you've got me going down your time not trying to
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: find her crazy one.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: The way you reacted, it's not gonna be anything crazy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: No, I don't see nothing crazy, but you you had
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: tweeted videos out from the Kendrick Lamar concert and you
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: captioned it. You can't fake influence. Correct A great way
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to end the show, because I think right now you
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: also have a pen tweet that says I'm not a journalist.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm a DJ because I respect journalists.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: And I remember during the time of all the back
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and forth, when you know people were looking you were
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the one of the Kendrick sources and academics was on
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the other side with Drake. I don't know if people
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: knew how to title you because the information was coming
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: from you a lot. Sometimes.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I know that that person claims to be the best,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the number one journalists in the game, and I just
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: have I have too much respect for I think journalism
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: is a craft, just like being a doctor or a lawyer. Yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: and so I respect journalists too much to just pop
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: out of me like I'm a journalist.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that academics is a journalist at all.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I think the machine.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Get a drunk rent, that is fine.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I think whatever, the machine of what he's built, I say,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I always I respect the machine of what he's built,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: But he is not a journalist. I think we as
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: journalists we vet things a lot differently, we have conversations
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: a lot differently. I'm not mad at what he's doing,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: but I think that there does always need to be
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: a defining point of anybody who does something at a
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: he's a professional. But like it's different.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Like I know you on the radio and you come
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: from a background of journalism, which you know, there's two
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: things that exist within the confines of broadcasts and door journalism,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: whether it's print or any kind of signal, right, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the two things are one is journalistic kenteckrity and the
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: second one thing is something called libel.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Go look up Libel, kids.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And so I think, what, because you don't learn these
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: things when you just turn on your stream or whatever.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You just you could say whatever you want to say,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: and then you end up like Tasha k And so
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I think, like, oh.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: The menopause, Mattie, she talks about us too.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: And so I think, and so I think what happens
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: is people just start podcasts, get cameras, get mics, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: start saying what they think and then be like, oh,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: DJ heads, he's being cryptic, He's not being real. It's like, no,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: there's such a thing called libel. Say that I take
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: serious because I'm a professional fucking broadcaster.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saying what I'm saying, and.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: So if you look up liable, you'll understand where these
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: things and why these safeguards are in place.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I want to read some of the responses
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: to your tweet. The tweet was can't fake the influence,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and somebody said Junior shoots a mind of Junior is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: his ad said just left the show it was rocking Reo.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think this is a bot page though, because Yeah,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I've noticed every time Kendrick sees a rise of popularity,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Drake is somehow involved. Take Care Future Slash Tour, fin
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Problems feature KJMC slash Poetic Justice, promo control Verse controversy.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Then the beef. We talked about that a bit. Somebody
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: said pronolo fourteen. So unfortunately I won't be able to
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: attend these shows. So I've been living through the videos,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: y'all post no cap. This show is based just based
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: on video scene, like the crowd was efing lit up.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: They tried to play with Kendrick at the super Bowl
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: with the videos behind the scenes. Does he have anything
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to prove at this point? Because of that?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He don't even care?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: He really don't care at all? Is he always he's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: some bother? Has he gotten to a place with this
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: where he's in a good place? So he's unbothered.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Now if you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Watch the squabble up video and you look at it
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and you look at his face, that's how he is.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: The day not like us came out and I called
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: him like, hey, bro, you I'm going crazy.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: This is crazy? You want? He said? Man, he didn't
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: even give He don't even give.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: A Does he have those feelings going into the Toronto
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: shows like it's this is nothing?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: It's nothing, It's nothing, bro. I'll give you an example.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Last the last show, I went and seen him backstage
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: and we had a moment because when he got the
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: key to the city and Compton.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I was there.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting on the mayor's desk in her office. No bullshit,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting at her desk and I'm holding this key
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to the city. I'm looking at this nigga and I'm like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: this shit crazy. He was like, Bro, this shit crazy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: So that's it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: And then we was backstage at one of the shows
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: and I was like, Bro, I'm looking I'm like this
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: shit crazy. He's like, Bro, this shit crazy to me too.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: That's just that's the reaction.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It's like he's still like kind of not coming to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: terms with it, but it's like man like, he's so
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: much in front of him, he's not looking at all
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the other stuff he said.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: He says, it's the work and it's just you put
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: in the way you gotta put that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: That just made my heart feel so warm, because that's
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: how I feel about life.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's the work and when you.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Head down and doing the work. A lot of that stuff,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: like when I say, even if you do feel like
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: stop playing with me, it just doesn't matter.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It's so small none, none of this shit matters in
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: real life.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: And he seems like, but the actuality just remember that
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: in hindsight. All this shit is something, and that's what
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I think that people don't look at like your life
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: is a story for somebody else.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: That's how I look at my life.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: So it's important to like, yeah, you got your head down,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: you're working, but also know that take a second to
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: take it in and say, Yo, this shit crazy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: That's how I feels sitting here with y'all. Right now,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: coming from TV is so different to radio and being
