2:21
Speaker 2: righted to the business, a boy, I almost didn't want
2:26
Speaker 2: to do this one. DJ Academics reveals Drake's mindset during
2:34
Speaker 2: the Kendrick Lamar battle. Right, and I'm going to read this.
2:41
Speaker 2: This is coming from Hot New hip Hop dot com.
2:45
Speaker 2: I want to get the quote, you know, because Academics
2:51
Speaker 2: Glaze Unit King Glazer of Drake.
2:56
Speaker 1: Here's the quote.
2:57
Speaker 2: He did get to a place where he's like like, yo, okay,
3:01
Speaker 2: it's one of those where everyone's against me, Like the
3:05
Speaker 2: rest ain't calling it fair no more. This guy could
3:08
Speaker 2: just make up whatever even if it's a complete lie.
3:15
Speaker 2: Is this some audio? I don't want to play no
3:17
Speaker 2: audio from this cap. Also, he said he was never sad.
3:23
Speaker 2: He was definitely focused and competitive, one hundred percent focused
3:28
Speaker 2: and competitive. Now, excuse me if if I'm getting this wrong,
3:36
Speaker 2: because I could be, but I feel like on Iceman,
3:40
Speaker 2: Drake really said how he felt. We don't need you
3:45
Speaker 2: academics to come up and tell us now this how
3:48
Speaker 2: he felt. Y'all wow, because you was in the bed
3:50
Speaker 2: next to or is your pillow talk, Pauls. You know
3:55
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, like what Drake?
3:57
Speaker 1: I think?
3:57
Speaker 2: I feel like On Iceman Drake in the first song,
4:01
Speaker 2: Drake already said how he felt what his mind state was.
4:05
Speaker 2: And sure, you might not want to use the word
4:09
Speaker 2: sad because it feels weak, but he kind of was.
4:16
Speaker 2: He just used different words. You know what I'm saying,
4:19
Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, quite honestly,
4:22
Speaker 2: if you're on top of the game, successful as as
4:28
Speaker 2: a pop artist, as a rap art like you just
4:31
Speaker 2: you're hitting the streams, you're selling music, you're the biggest
4:34
Speaker 2: artists in the world, and now it feels like the
4:38
Speaker 2: world is against you.
4:40
Speaker 1: You can't tell me that it wouldn't make you sad.
4:45
Speaker 2: Now, I do believe he was focused on being competitive
4:49
Speaker 2: because he went back and forth with Kendrick, so he
4:52
Speaker 2: was trying to be competitive.
4:54
Speaker 1: He just lost, y'all. That's it.
4:57
Speaker 2: Like we're doing the jay Z and noasting again, right,
5:00
Speaker 2: talking about oh, well, his stuff was all lies, not
5:04
Speaker 2: all of it.
5:06
Speaker 1: Not all of it, Drake.
5:07
Speaker 2: We have footage that's lived on the internet forever of
5:13
Speaker 2: you saying the N word in a way that the
5:16
Speaker 2: hip hop don't say it like that. Okay, just look
5:21
Speaker 2: it up. If you're an obie Ho, you like impossible,
5:24
Speaker 2: just look it up for yourself obi Ho. Okay Again,
5:28
Speaker 2: I've said before numerous times, even when I reviewed Iceman,
5:31
Speaker 2: which I thought was good, I ain't gonna lie. I mean,
5:34
Speaker 2: it's what I expected from Drake. I didn't expect him
5:38
Speaker 2: to become pharromanch overnight.
5:40
Speaker 1: He's not that guy.
5:42
Speaker 2: But I kind of feel like it's the same excuses, right, Oh,
5:48
Speaker 2: Kendrick was lying and oh everybody believes him and everybody.
5:52
Speaker 1: Was against me.
5:54
Speaker 2: It's extremely similar to the fallout of the Nas and
5:59
Speaker 2: jay Z Beef. Jay Z lost, y'all. I was there,
6:03
Speaker 2: more importantly, I was on the radio for a hip
6:06
Speaker 2: hop show.
6:07
Speaker 1: We did a poll.
6:08
Speaker 2: Every radio station did a poll, included in New York.
6:12
Speaker 2: He lost everyone once he dropped super ugly. He lost
6:17
Speaker 2: every pole. Okay, so let's not revise history. But one
6:24
Speaker 2: of the things that was said over time to try
6:27
Speaker 2: to make you feel like jay Z might have actually won,
6:30
Speaker 2: this is what they do.
6:31
Speaker 1: He might have actually won. Ah, Man, come on, dog, if.
6:35
Speaker 2: There's a fight going down and one dude clearly gets
6:38
Speaker 2: knocked out, you can't come twenty years later and be like,
6:43
Speaker 2: but he got up, so actually he wasn't really that hurt.
6:49
Speaker 1: He was hurt enough to go down right. Okay.
6:53
Speaker 2: So it's just one of those things where you could
6:58
Speaker 2: tell there is a fan base, and now I can't
7:01
Speaker 2: even I don't know if I could call them fans
7:03
Speaker 2: because I had plenty of Drake albums, because I like
7:05
Speaker 2: the music, right, I would consider myself a fan. But
7:09
Speaker 2: when you just I'm a hip hop fan first, and
7:14
Speaker 2: Drake said he was also, So a battle went tu
7:18
Speaker 2: and he lost. We can't turn around and act like
7:22
Speaker 2: it really wasn't that was not like us really that good,
7:25
Speaker 2: wasn't really that popular. It was bots in the Super Bowl,
7:29
Speaker 2: they had bots in the stands or they piped in
7:32
Speaker 2: people saying a minor No they didn't.
7:37
Speaker 1: The song was I okay, it just was so.
7:42
Speaker 2: But again, we know where Drake was because he wasn't
7:49
Speaker 2: hiding any of it. Right, And this is the last
7:52
Speaker 2: thing I'm gonna say before I move on, But.
7:55
Speaker 1: You gotta look at.
7:56
Speaker 2: The timeline of Drake during the battle, everything he did
8:01
Speaker 2: and said, and not just in record for him, right,
8:05
Speaker 2: Drake was completely engaged. Yes, he was focused on winning,
8:08
Speaker 2: he was focused on being competitive, all of that. But
8:12
Speaker 2: it started with him begging Kendrick to drop a disc record,
8:18
Speaker 2: and in the midst of him waiting, he Drake dropped
8:22
Speaker 2: two disc records, right push ups, which is probably his
8:26
Speaker 2: best because I like that one, especially when he said
8:31
Speaker 2: to Rick Ross, you know your first number one? I
8:33
Speaker 2: put it in your hand. I was like, WHOA, Okay,
8:36
Speaker 2: I like that one. But he dropped two disrecords. The
8:40
Speaker 2: other one was that AI crap that everybody seems to forget,
8:45
Speaker 2: the super ugly of the Drake disses, right, just complete trash.
8:51
Speaker 2: And then all he did was troll online with images
8:56
Speaker 2: and stories and Compton College. Oh Drake posted the picture
9:02
Speaker 2: wearing Compton High School Compton College shirt and he told
9:07
Speaker 2: Kendrick to drop until he did, And now everybody is
9:11
Speaker 2: just so, well, no, this is what the battle is.
9:17
Speaker 2: So academics trying to help Drake because he gave him
9:21
Speaker 2: a chain like he was some high school girlfriend rewarding
9:25
Speaker 2: him for his support during this time tells you everything
9:32
Speaker 2: you need to know about Drake's mindset. Brother was hurt,
9:37
Speaker 2: the boy was down, and he continues.
9:40
Speaker 1: So there you have it.
9:42
Speaker 2: Do you think it even matters what his mindset was
9:46
Speaker 2: during this back and forth? I think some people tend
9:50
Speaker 2: to want to know what Kendrick's mindset was, you know,
9:53
Speaker 2: you know through the music. But because Kendrick just dropped records,
10:01
Speaker 2: he didn't do like you know, Instagram stories and cryptic
10:05
Speaker 2: posts and all that. He was just in the batcave.
10:08
Speaker 2: So leave your comments in a comments section below. Next same,
10:15
Speaker 2: I'll make sure. I want to make sure I get
10:17
Speaker 2: this right. Baby King thinks he's better than the.
10:20
Speaker 1: Current Big three.
10:24
Speaker 2: We have to get a quote from him before I respond,
10:27
Speaker 2: because I want to make sure I understand completely what
10:32
Speaker 2: this guy is saying. And if you wonder, what's the
10:34
Speaker 2: Big three I don't really listen to rap, but I
10:36
Speaker 2: like your podcast, Drake, Kendrick and Jacole, right, which I
10:42
Speaker 2: don't think there's a big three anymore. Kendrick said it,
10:47
Speaker 2: it's the big me, okay. But baby King say he
10:50
Speaker 2: better than all of them. Okay, so let's get a
10:53
Speaker 2: quote from him real quick. I don't want to be
10:56
Speaker 2: the best of the weakest. I want to be the
10:59
Speaker 2: best of the best, and that should be the mentality
11:03
Speaker 2: of everybody coming up. Well, I don't need to read
11:05
Speaker 2: no more. He tuck his tail at the same time
11:09
Speaker 2: he pound his chest.
11:13
Speaker 1: I'm better than the big three, but everybody should say that. True.
11:20
Speaker 2: It's absolutely true. If you're competing in this art form,
11:24
Speaker 2: you should feel like you are the best. But there's
11:27
Speaker 2: one thing you're missing.
11:30
Speaker 1: Team.
11:32
Speaker 2: All of these guys, including Drake, at one point of another,
11:39
Speaker 2: has shown that they are formidable when it comes to
11:45
Speaker 2: Mike's skills and see it right on one level or another, right,
11:50
Speaker 2: including Drake duppy freestyle go look it up. But I
11:58
Speaker 2: kind of feel like Kim is really looking at popularity
12:04
Speaker 2: and success and honestly, when you say, hey, I think
12:09
Speaker 2: I'm better than a big three, and you mean it,
12:13
Speaker 2: in that way. It just for hip hop heads. It's
12:16
Speaker 2: like saying, you know, you might as well not even
12:18
Speaker 2: open your mouth. We don't care about who's popular. We
12:22
Speaker 2: care about if you strip away the money and the popularity.
12:27
Speaker 2: And these guys are in a cipher who getting busy
12:31
Speaker 2: and who ain't. And I haven't heard anything from Baby
12:36
Speaker 2: King from a lyrical standpoint that suggests that he could
12:41
Speaker 2: hold his own against any three of them in the cipher.
12:45
Speaker 2: You would be last, you would be the weakest. And
12:48
Speaker 2: the thing about Baby King is his album Casino.
12:52
Speaker 1: I love it. I've been listening to it like since
12:55
Speaker 1: it dropped.
12:56
Speaker 2: It's probably a short shot for my top five if
12:59
Speaker 2: it doesn't get knocked out by something crazy. But that's
13:03
Speaker 2: because he makes great music. To his point, he's not
13:10
Speaker 2: really He's not really top three lyrical guys. And I
13:15
Speaker 2: wouldn't even say the top the big three are the
13:20
Speaker 2: best lyrical mcs in the game today because they are
13:23
Speaker 2: not right. There's some guys who may not be as popular,
13:28
Speaker 2: but they Pin is Crazy, thirty eight Specs, Ransom, Comway Ben.
13:38
Speaker 1: He been slipping a little bit, but he's still my guy,
13:41
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this, there's some guys
13:43
Speaker 1: who are better if we're just talking lyrically, plenty more.
13:48
Speaker 2: But the Big three is supposed to be the guys
13:52
Speaker 2: that can do at all, and that's what those three can,
13:55
Speaker 2: and I feel like Baby King does. He can make
13:59
Speaker 2: a great out and he can make great songs, he
14:01
Speaker 2: can make hits, but he's not on their level. He's
14:05
Speaker 2: not on their level. Most people are familiar with the
14:09
Speaker 2: big hits from Drake first and maybe Kendrick second, and
14:13
Speaker 2: then Jake Cole is like an acquired taste, even though
14:17
Speaker 2: he has hits also, but he's not a household name
14:20
Speaker 2: like for example, you know, my wife was a fan
14:23
Speaker 2: of Drake's liveries. I think the battle turned out against Drake,
14:26
Speaker 2: but she was a fan of Drake. She's a fan
14:28
Speaker 2: of Kendrick. She don't mess with j Cole, and I
14:33
Speaker 2: don't think it's anything he did. I think it's a
14:36
Speaker 2: sense that we witnessed that what he says really doesn't
14:43
Speaker 2: matter as much. You know, I think she's wrong, but
14:49
Speaker 2: there you have it. So I don't know, do you
14:51
Speaker 2: think Baby King has done enough with two albums on
14:55
Speaker 2: the mainstream side. I know he's had music before then,
14:59
Speaker 2: but if you just stick to the first two on
15:02
Speaker 2: PG lane. Do you think he's done enough to be
15:06
Speaker 2: considered better than the current Big three? Do you think
15:11
Speaker 2: maybe he's a part of a new Big three? I
15:13
Speaker 2: think that's impossible considering Kendrick's the only survivor of the
15:18
Speaker 2: whole Big three situation. They all dropped albums gn X
15:25
Speaker 2: for Kendrick, to fall Off for J Cole, which was
15:28
Speaker 2: a double album Iceman, and two other albums for Drake,
15:35
Speaker 2: and gn X seem to be the only one that
15:39
Speaker 2: really had any kind of real buzz, like long lasting buzz.
15:44
Speaker 2: I feel like people forgot J Cole dropped the fall
15:48
Speaker 2: Off and man, the intine is Destroyian Drake for his lyrics,
15:55
Speaker 2: So there goes that momentum, right, and then you have
15:58
Speaker 2: people like academics to saving so baby King uh not yet,
16:03
Speaker 2: you don't have to get some bar work in in
16:06
Speaker 2: order to be considered a part of the victory because
16:08
Speaker 2: that's the area where you lacking. So if y'all agree, disagree,
16:12
Speaker 2: don't even care, leave your car, leave your comments in
16:16
Speaker 2: the comments section below. And lastly, so with all the
16:25
Speaker 2: beefs and disc records and confrontations in the rap game,
16:34
Speaker 2: which is all a part of the sport. Don't listen
16:36
Speaker 2: to Jay Z, Well, yeah, definitely don't listen to him
16:41
Speaker 2: because he said, you know, I don't know who bad
16:42
Speaker 2: the rep should be part of hip hop anymore, and
16:46
Speaker 2: then he going dis mad people on stage, Man, are
16:49
Speaker 2: you crazy?
16:50
Speaker 1: Okay, but if you don't know Griselda Griselda Records, Roselda
16:59
Speaker 1: was a movement that helped helped usher boom back into
17:05
Speaker 1: a more prominent light. Right, like not underground, but a
17:10
Speaker 1: little bit above underground. Right.
17:14
Speaker 2: Griselda Records mainstays basically feature a Westside Gun, Benny the Butcher,
17:22
Speaker 2: and Conway the Machine, classic mixtapes, songs like just a
17:29
Speaker 2: hell of a Run, and just for those who don't know,
17:33
Speaker 2: Westside Gun and Conway are brothers, and Benny the Butcher
17:39
Speaker 2: is their cousin, so they're also family. They put Buffalo
17:43
Speaker 2: on the map for real. Upstate New York in general
17:46
Speaker 2: put them on a map for real, which opened the
17:49
Speaker 2: door for more people to listen to the Shade Noirs
17:53
Speaker 2: and the thirty eight Specials, right because they were all
17:58
Speaker 2: coming from up top and they had at this traditional
18:01
Speaker 2: boom bat that quite honestly to their point, you know,
18:05
Speaker 2: the City, New York City was it had to kind
18:08
Speaker 2: of abandon on a mainstream level, Like there was always
18:13
Speaker 2: dudes who were still had bars and was still making
18:16
Speaker 2: boom back, but the attention on that sound was gone
18:21
Speaker 2: because most of the stars or the young stars wasn't
18:25
Speaker 2: you know, from New York, weren't doing that right. They
18:27
Speaker 2: were doing drill and you know, rapping like the South
18:31
Speaker 2: and all of that. So there's a lot of credit there.
18:34
Speaker 2: Also shout out to rock Marci, who been in his
18:36
Speaker 2: pocket forever, so he's old a lot of credit. But
18:42
Speaker 2: with Griselda, it felt like at some point the three
18:48
Speaker 2: split up, right all of a sudden. Benny the Butcher
18:52
Speaker 2: over here were his group, the Soprano the Black Soprano
18:56
Speaker 2: Family or whatever it's called, which I really like one
18:59
Speaker 2: guy out of there. I always forget his name. It's
19:03
Speaker 2: like heen something like that BSF Heen. I like, excuse me,
19:07
Speaker 2: I like him. And then you see Conway got his
19:13
Speaker 2: own situation with drum work and he signed loved the Genius,
19:17
Speaker 2: and I forget the other dude's name, and you know,
19:21
Speaker 2: then West Side Gun is over here, like, oh, I'm
19:24
Speaker 2: gonna go get stove God and I'm gonna go get
19:27
Speaker 2: this one and that one, and it was like, wait
19:30
Speaker 2: a minute, what's going on? And these guys weren't saying anything,
19:35
Speaker 2: which was kind of honorable. But there were a lot
19:38
Speaker 2: of subliminals also, and not coming from West Side Gun
19:43
Speaker 2: for the most part from what I could think of,
19:45
Speaker 2: But it seemed like between tweets and subliminals on social
19:50
Speaker 2: media and subliminals and records, it felt like Comway and
19:55
Speaker 2: Benny felt like all three of them didn't really rock
19:59
Speaker 2: with each other, but especially with Westside Gun until last week.
20:06
Speaker 2: I think it was last week when Conway put a
20:12
Speaker 2: crazy freestyle over Drake's make Him Pay beat, which I
20:17
Speaker 2: think is the best song on Iceman.
20:19
Speaker 1: I like it a lot.
20:21
Speaker 2: Crazy freestyle, but in that freestyle, he addressed the situation subliminately.
20:29
Speaker 2: Now what happened right before that, Like there was this
20:34
Speaker 2: video of I guess pictures or paintings or whatever. Conway
20:41
Speaker 2: was at a show and he took the like the
20:43
Speaker 2: Griselda painting and put it off to the side, like, nah,
20:46
Speaker 2: not that one. And I started to feel like, maybe
20:49
Speaker 2: he's doing a little bit of trolling, right because the
20:53
Speaker 2: rumor is y'all beefing, but they never say it, and
20:56
Speaker 2: they'd been together, like remember when Westside Gun was like
21:01
Speaker 2: he was in the airport with Benny and they saw
21:05
Speaker 2: Freddy Gibbs and he said, y'all shoot, y'all two should talk, right,
21:09
Speaker 2: So saying Bennie and Westside got a beef was wrong, right.
21:15
Speaker 2: And then you know, then Conway, after this freestyle, was
21:18
Speaker 2: at a show with the West Side Gun. So the
21:26
Speaker 2: thing that makes this quote unquote rumor rail, which they're
21:33
Speaker 2: still kind of denying in some crazy way, is that
21:38
Speaker 2: Conway basically said it on a freestyle and then Maul
21:44
Speaker 2: confirmed it in detail, right, Maul being the podcast dude,
21:50
Speaker 2: who is.
21:52
Speaker 1: Big Berks brother. Basically jay Z's.
21:58
Speaker 2: I think he's still with rock Nation, but he was
22:01
Speaker 2: a part of the three for Rockefeller Records. He's, you
22:05
Speaker 2: know on the third guy you see who's not Dame
22:07
Speaker 2: Dash or jay Z. Right, Maul the podcaster is his brother.
22:12
Speaker 2: And he said he knew about this information, but he
22:16
Speaker 2: kept quiet, and what he reported tracked with the subliminals
22:24
Speaker 2: in Conway's freestyle. Right, And this is basically what happened.
22:30
Speaker 2: And I know I went a long way to say
22:31
Speaker 2: what happened I'm sorry for those who don't know. I'm
22:34
Speaker 2: just trying to give context for the people who don't
22:37
Speaker 2: follow this stuff, Okay, But basically, there was a point
22:41
Speaker 2: in time with Griselda where Westside Gun, Conway the Machine,
22:46
Speaker 2: and Benny the Butcher met with jay Z, and jay
22:50
Speaker 2: Z suggested as far as keeping the wealth going and
22:55
Speaker 2: spreading out and you know, like kind of like Wu
22:58
Speaker 2: Tang and all of that, and or jay Z used
23:00
Speaker 2: to do with some of his artists on Rockefeller. At
23:03
Speaker 2: least that I know of, is he suggested to give
23:09
Speaker 2: Benny and Conway ten percent of Griselda records and what
23:17
Speaker 2: they were earning. And I'm not talking about ten percent each,
23:22
Speaker 2: five percent for Benny, five percent for Westside Gun, which
23:27
Speaker 2: the grand scheme of things is absolutely nothing. Give my
23:33
Speaker 2: brother five percent, give my cousin five percent of this
23:36
Speaker 2: thing that we built musically, at least at least musically,
23:41
Speaker 2: and I take the lion's share because I did all
23:44
Speaker 2: of the business. It seems more than fair and it
23:48
Speaker 2: seems like something they would have taken. But Westside Gun said, now,
23:52
Speaker 2: and that's where you get that bar where in the
23:56
Speaker 2: freestyle or Conway was like, he don't want me to eat.
24:02
Speaker 2: First of all, this is foul. I know they were
24:05
Speaker 2: on stage afterwards because I think the thing is is
24:10
Speaker 2: the beef part of it. They don't want to air
24:14
Speaker 2: out because they're family. The reason why you'll see after
24:19
Speaker 2: you know, after the split, so to speak, Bennie's and
24:24
Speaker 2: you know with Westside Gun and after this freestyle Conway's
24:29
Speaker 2: on stage with Westside Gun is because they're not trying
24:32
Speaker 2: to tear down each other in public.
24:35
Speaker 1: For cloud.
24:38
Speaker 2: Right, it's just not They understand now at least that
24:44
Speaker 2: some of this is good press, even when it's bad.
24:48
Speaker 2: Now it may not be the best look for Westside
24:51
Speaker 2: Gun because it makes them look no different than any
24:55
Speaker 2: other rape label. Exact, it's it's the business. I keep
25:02
Speaker 2: telling y'all, you can't really look at one person who
25:05
Speaker 2: you don't like and say like, And I'm not trying
25:09
Speaker 2: to take up for Diddy and everything he's done, but
25:14
Speaker 2: I used to say, this person can't be the poster
25:17
Speaker 2: child for an industry that does this on a regular
25:20
Speaker 2: basis to most artists, if not all. And here you
25:26
Speaker 2: have a Westside Gun with his own family not wanting
25:32
Speaker 2: to give him five percent five What was he thinking
25:40
Speaker 2: to give y'all two percent, like it's crazy, but since prerogative,
25:48
Speaker 2: So I think what I think going forward, I think
25:53
Speaker 2: they may have mended some of their differences. And it's
25:58
Speaker 2: just like Jodasy, like you hear Joe tell their stories.
26:01
Speaker 2: The brothers was fighting backstage and then performing not the
26:06
Speaker 2: best way to do things. But I kind of feel
26:08
Speaker 2: like with them, it's regardless of the disagreement, it's family first.
26:16
Speaker 1: And I think.
26:18
Speaker 2: Because that Griselda shine was starting to dim a little
26:23
Speaker 2: bit and they were just releasing stuff and it was
26:26
Speaker 2: only it was like they were heading right back to
26:29
Speaker 2: the underground in some respects that if they did another compilation,
26:35
Speaker 2: because they only did one where you get Westside Gun,
26:38
Speaker 2: Benny and Conway back together again, that would do great
26:42
Speaker 2: business for them. But they got to handle the paperwork first.
26:44
Speaker 2: That's just what it is. So what do you think
26:47
Speaker 2: about this Griselda situation? Do you think Westside Gun should
26:51
Speaker 2: have given his brother and his cousin five percent of
26:55
Speaker 2: Griselda so that it stays within the family and you
26:59
Speaker 2: don't have this split that now features different artists who
27:03
Speaker 2: most for the most part, we're all good, but it
27:07
Speaker 2: didn't branch out as a part of Griselda. It branched
27:11
Speaker 2: out as a result of bad business. Leave your comments
