  Speaker 1: What it do we're back again the ground is show.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You hear me 155 man 155 going strong bro we're
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of uh a lot of traction the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: irl traction man we're gonna even.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Uh adjust some of the content a little just to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: kind of match it like that's something that i've been
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: talking to with people lately bro like we didn't even
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: talk about this before but like the way we've been
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: focusing on like local so much lately, and it's been
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: working so well, and, like, you get stuck in this
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: mindset of, like, you want to reach everybody, so you're
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: not really targeting, you know.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: What I mean?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: You're just, like, I'm just trying to find, you know, whatever.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Internet is huge. It's hard to get everybody's attention out there.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And, like, the way the internet stuff doesn't translate into, like,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in real life success, like, there's so many people, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: usually it's younger people, like, By the time you get older,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you should know this, but so many people will see
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a post of somebody with a million views and, oh,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he's good.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: He's set. You know what I mean?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, bro, just because you got a post that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: got a million views doesn't mean anything. You got to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: capitalize on it and you got to be already- If.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: You got a brand from it, that's different. That's why
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I appreciate what we do. Everything we're doing is sticking
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: to this brand right here. Facts. And that's what we're about.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: It's not just- Trying to get viral off a couple
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: of clips.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And I was going to kind of follow up
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Like we're, the event works like the event that we do,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: which is just like a kickback, you know, whether it
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: be the Latin one or the R & B one,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: which we'll talk about that more later as well. But, um, the,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: what we do first and foremost is make sure that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we bring in that right vibe.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Like with you, you focus in on the music and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: how you're analyzing the crowd to see how the energy
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: should move.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Like, with us when we were putting together the place,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and the type of event and everything. It
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was like making it all connect and make sense so
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it really could give us that vibe. And it's like, bro,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: everybody that's come out that I know to that event
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: has enjoyed it and been back.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Everybody's been surprised. A lot
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: of new people who came for the last one, they
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: were surprised about how dope that vibe was. They're like, damn, like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: That is a dope spot right there.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always that thing of, like, it's hard to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: describe because there's literally nothing like it in Florida.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Not in Florida, but, like, in Orlando, Central Florida.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Like, it's definitely one of those things. Yeah, outside of
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Mills Avenue.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And even then, like, you're not going to a vineyard.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like, they're not making wine there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go to Claremont for that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly, bro.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely, like, one of those things where the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: uniqueness adds to the vibe for sure. But at the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's really just, like, the way
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the event is. Because not everybody's trying to, like, even, like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that whole turn up thing has kind of, like, died with, like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how everybody got phones now. So everybody's kind of scared to, like, even, like,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: really have fun fun because you don't even know who's, like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: recording at the time.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Yep.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You don't know who's going to get posted. Back then,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: we was doing some ratchet shit. And we didn't have
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: to worry about people posting us on the internet.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And it was, like, I forgot who I was talking
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to recently.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was this new young guy
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that we got at the shop or my kids, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they were just basically asking how it was before.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Because we born in the 1900s, dawg.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So to these people now, they think that that's like
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: it say, your birthday has a 19 in front of it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. You know what I mean?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: You know what's crazy? I see some videos of young kids,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: but they're young and they're in their 20s. And then
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: they don't know certain artists or certain things ever existed.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's fake. I know it's not fake,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: but it's so crazy to believe.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean. You think that the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: stuff that you know, that's common knowledge. Everybody knows that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And then it's like if you was born, if you're 20, 21, bro,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: there's so many references.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And it's crazy because they're adults and they don't know.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Certain stuff that we feel everybody should know. And now
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: our parents are starting to come in and see how
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: they felt when we didn't know somebody they knew. Or
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: something they knew.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's always just a funny detail kind of seeing what
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: old stuff younger people pay attention to and what stuff
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they kind of like.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Because that's one of the things too.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: For example....
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: People like our age, we always remember the Nickelodeon show,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: My Brother and Me. We know what that is. We
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: got memories of that show. But that show got canceled
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: after like one or two seasons. And it was like
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: something in the early 90s, bro.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: If you ain't catch it. It felt like it lasts forever, though,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the way you still remember it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Exactly, because we was kids. They had the reruns, too.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And when we watched it, we enjoyed it. You mention
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that to somebody now, bro, and they're like, what?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: We still call it that show, Alfie, can you teach
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: me to dance?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Bro, my favorite memory from that show is when he
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: tried to get the haircut.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And it went bad. He wanted to get the designs
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: in his hair.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Like Cool Dr.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Money.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He wanted to get the designs in his hair. His
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: mom said no. He went to his homie to get
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it done anyway. And it got so messed up, they
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: had to shave him bald.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And Alfie was like, you look like Charles Barkley without
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the muscles.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Like I said, there's so many jokes. There's so many
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: lines we still remember. And it was only, what, one season?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. Rob Markman, Yeah, it's like a classic off
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: of not even- Rob Markman, And it's timeless.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, It's like some shows and things like that,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like some movies, they get a bad rep or they
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: get canceled or whatever, and then it makes people check
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: And then if it was dope, they'll be like, oh dang,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: it gets this lower, you know what I mean?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Rob Markman, Honestly, even outside of that, and y'all don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: have to agree with me. I know everybody's not a
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Joe Budden rapper fan, but there was a guy- who
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: played Joe Budden, BT Awards Cypher freestyle. He's like, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: didn't know Joe Budden could rap. And it's crazy to
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: me that people only know Joe Budden for the podcast now.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's a personality now.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they didn't know he was actually an artist
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: that can actually really rap.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Budden, it's funny, man, because for people that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: don't really know Joe Budden as a rapper... He was
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: like a polarizing rapper the same way he's like a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: polarizing personality. Because even as a rapper, he had big opinions.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He wasn't scared to speak his mind or whatever.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I watched the Green Lantern freestyle where he's in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: there and he got his beef with people on the
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: way up to the floor. He's like, I'm here. Just
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: drop that beat. Let's do it. I ain't trying to be.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: He was always the same personality he has now. He
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: was that way as a rapper. He felt strong about
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: what he said. He said it in a good way.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to glaze Joe Budden here, but I've
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: always been a Joe Budden fan.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Budden, I wouldn't say like, oh, I'm a big
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Budden fan, but there was stuff from him that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I liked for sure, for sure. I would check out
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: when he dropped stuff, just out of the respect of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he was a dope MC, so I'm going to check
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But I wasn't super, super tapped in.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: One of the things I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Always remember about Joe Budden that was funny was, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember when he beefed with Game,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and they went back and forth, right?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And then they got cool. They made a song together.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And before the song started, like, Game is like, yo,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you know, we got together on a song, whatever, whatever.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And he's like, yo, how you go, how you go club,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: then go hood, then go back club on the same record.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And it was, the first verse was Joe Budden. His
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: verse was after, and then Joe Budden's verse was last.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So he was like, kind of like low key throwing
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a shot at him on the song. And I was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: always kind of like, damn, bro, like.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I felt kind of weird about that line in that song.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like he just always knew the game, how
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: to work the game the best way, and that's why
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: he's doing the podcasting.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely one of those that regardless of how
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you feel about how he did musically or whatever, he's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a voice and he's like a fixture in hip-hop. Same
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: with Gidley, bro. Gidley was a local artist. He had some.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Regional.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say local. I'll say regional.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: He was like a regional artist that had some national success,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: but more so he was regional. And if you were
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like tapped in, you know, really like watching rap DVDs
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, you knew about Gilly. But it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't like he was like a known, known rapper at
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the time. But now everybody in hip hop knows Gilly
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the Kid.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Way more than it was before.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I still got it. I have a Gilly the Kid
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: verse memorized. That's how I'm a long life. Knowing he
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: was an artist. But, like, just the personalities. And that's
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: a good thing when you're doing content creation. It's, like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: you can't have ten different personalities clashing against each other
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: in your content, you know. And I think that's attached
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: back to what we were talking about. Like, we can't
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: have this type of podcast and have a turned-up event.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's not us. Yep.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And even just, like, the people that we, like, tapping
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in with, like, And we'll get into it now, but man,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: shout out to the people that pulled up to.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: The first Latin event.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I appreciate everybody, man.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Super. It was like, I think our second best event?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: No, it was the best one. No, it was the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: best one.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It actually topped the best R & B event, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the R & B events go crazy already. So I was, man,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I was blown away by how everything kind of like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just shaped up throughout the.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Night and everything, the vibe, everybody enjoyed it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Everybody felt real comfortable, I feel like.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: When I announced that you were winding down with the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: last song, remember, you heard everybody audibly go, aww.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: At the same time, it was so dope. Like, dang, bro,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: they really would've just stayed in vibe for like another
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: hour if we just stayed there bro it's crazy but.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: It's that's why man we gotta do a weekend night
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: for the people they've been asking for it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: They've been asking for it and at this point bro
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: man one of those kickbacks on a Friday or Saturday.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Either one of those bro imagine we was talking about
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the fall coming up Nice little fall night, Friday night. Oh, man.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: That'd be perfect. Nobody sweating all night. Nah, facts, because, yo,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: it'd be hot. Like, I know people were dancing so much,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: they literally had to take breaks. Nah, literally. Yeah.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: The weather been disrespectful the past couple years, bro. Like,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I was always a big, like... Yeah, but, like, it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: been different, bro.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That super El Nino stuff, like, it's made such a difference, bro. Like,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: because even, like, two summers ago, not the last summer,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: not the one before, but the one before that, My
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: kids and their friends was outside playing all the time.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Like these past two has been so hot, bro. They
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just being, they'd be like, nah, it's too hot. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: can't even go outside.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: And I've been here for two years after I moved
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: back from Vegas.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, so you just experienced the super hot summers.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's how it is over there. But their winters
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: are eight months long. That's why I tell you, like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I don't miss the cold, but I love the cold. Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's something that like, definitely as I've gotten older, I've
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: appreciated more.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Because I was always such an outside and.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Active type kid that the winter always sucked for me
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because nobody would come outside because it's too cold.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: But now that I'm older and I don't do that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff, bro, I don't need that heat.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Love that for me.

  Speaker 1: the podcast and just hear our take on it and stuff.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: So that's super dope. We don't want to be repetitive.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: We don't want to be just extra saturation to the
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: podcast game and the YouTube game is now. We want
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: to actually keep trying to bring things new, things that
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: get attention span going. a little more exciting stuff. So, uh,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: just know we're always trying to progress and upgrade everything
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: we do.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And something like I've been real conscious of that has
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: been like really taken over with, uh, my music stuff
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: as well, as well as like the podcast stuff is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just not getting too wrapped up in the whole notion of.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Like, you're fighting for people's attention. Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Like you don't want to be like another person with
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a sales pitch and people's timeline. Like, between the AI
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and just like how online everything is getting, bro.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Like everything looks and sounds the same. Yeah.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And it makes it like, it just, it makes stuff
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: not feel the way you want it to feel just
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: because you're taking so much of the personal out of it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Like it kind of, it kind of goes to like, uh,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: what I was talking about earlier with the local stuff
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: is like, you can't compare, you know, uh, it's cool.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: It does that all the time.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Um, You can't compare, let's say, like, a million plays
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: or whatever to, like, a packed event.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: The million plays looks cool to look at, and you're like, oh, man,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that's dope.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But when you really break
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: it down, everybody's getting a million.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Views on anything, bro. You know, that's a great point
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: you made. Based on all actual, like, engagement and views
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: we have, if I would have expected the events to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: resemble that, it would have been dead wrong.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: It made no sense, like, how much that part of
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: the Internet matters, but then how much the people that
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: support us matter that show up to the events. And, like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: after seeing all these people show up, I'm like, okay,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: those are the numbers.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's like once you really just start, like, focusing slash
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: tapping in with the real people and, like, actually, like,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that's why, like, a lot of people say the Internet
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is not a real place because, like, A lot of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the people's opinions online is like stuff they're just saying
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: because that's, you know, that's where you write stuff like that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: You know, like it's not what's really going on. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of times not even what's really people thinking.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: People are fighting for likes for comments that they leave
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: on other people's posts.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: That's all I know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Bro, literally, you'll see somebody with a viral post and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: reply to somebody in their comments like, yo, stop taking
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: all my likes. Like if they got mad likes on
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: their comment, you know.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: You'll see a comment with like 43,000 likes. That person's gassed.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: But there's that type of demographic out on the internet, too.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: It's the weird numbers thing, man. We see it a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: lot with the music thing, too, man. So many people
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: are obsessed with certain types of numbers. And it's always
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: interesting to me seeing which metrics matter to certain artists,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: kind of depending on what they're doing.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Because artists like Creative Angel that we had on he
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: operates off of different metrics than just an online artist
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: would because he's really touching the people.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Like an online artist, they'll probably just be more focused on,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you know, keep targeting the people that the demographic they like.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Just keep targeting and keep growing that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And then it's kind of like I was talking about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: with the podcast or doing anything. Like sometimes you put
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it out and you're like, oh, It's doing good. Look
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: at these numbers. But it's like, but what are those
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: numbers translating into?
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Yeah. Like I said, I've
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: never seen more physical support from the local demographic that
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: we have. And I feel that's where we got to target.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: And I think that's where we're shifting to. So it's
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: a good time to do it. Yeah, man.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Like the last, not the last event. I think it
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was two events ago. We only had one person there
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that we knew. And everybody else there was just people
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that have been coming to the events that we kind
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of know already because of that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Or just new people. And we were just chopping it up,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: me and you, most of the night. Because, bro, nobody
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: that we know came, but it's still packed. Nobody that
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: we know personally.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody that we know personally. We did see the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: couple that's always there.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Shout out.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Man, I got to get their name next time so
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I can shout.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Them out, man.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: You gave us some good wine bags, some hats, right?
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: We had some cool goodies last time, man. We're going
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to do that a little more often. Just bring stuff
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: for the first people that come and also the people
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that are always rocking with us. We're going to start
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: bringing some hats and stuff, too. Having some stuff to sell.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We'll ease into that, man. Right now, just really focusing
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: on people... Spreading the word and knowing that what we.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Tomorrow night?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Yep. Tomorrow night. When you're listening to.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: It'll be tonight.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: When you listen to this, it'll be tonight because this
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: podcast is dropping on that Thursday. But Thursday, September 24th,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we'll be at Feel Good Farm, 7 p.m.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: To 11 p.m.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Same as we do. I'll start off with the old
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: school R & B, switch it up. People got requests.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: People want to dance. We control the night as much
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: as the vibe controls it. So if the vibe wants something,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: we'll give it to them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: So.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Keep us informed on what you want to do there. Yeah, man.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: The R & B event, that has been so dope
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: just because it's part of the reason why me and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you started, we're able to rock with each other so
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: well because of that shared interest musically and just the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: vibes and everything.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: So just kind of sharing.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: That with another group of people and kind of growing
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: what we're doing based off of that, bro, that's been
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: super dope, man.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I know, like I said, when I
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: met Lester, I said, he makes a kind of R
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: & B... that I enjoy listening to. And that's the
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: kind of R & B I play all night, right? Facts.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: And I said, well, your first time with me there,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Quincy's first time, they're like, oh, you're really playing like
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: that R & B? And I'm like, because that's what
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I've always enjoyed. That's what I love hearing. And then
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I want to share that vibe with everybody that possibly can.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: If we could do it for a whole night for
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: four hours, we'll do it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to shift gears to, you know, the vibes
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: are so high right now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: It's all positivity. Yeah. You know, we got to shift
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: gears to the NFL, man. And you had a rough
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: night this week, man. I seriously stopped watching in the
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: second quarter.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: It's funny because I stopped watching that game. I mean,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't even watch the game. I was doing something.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And you had wrote some comment, and I was laughing.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And Quincy was like, you know why he wrote that, right?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, nah, why? And he told me what
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: happened in the game. I'm like, oh my gosh. Now
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: it makes sense, bro. I know he is pissed, bro.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Wifey knows every game. The game doesn't start without my
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: jersey on. And when the game starts, I'm standing up
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: for the whole game. By the second quarter, I was
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: doing laps around the couch, and I said, you know what?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Let's go to bed. Let's go to bed. I'm not
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: even watching my jersey off. Laid it over the balcony
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: of the stairs. I said, I'm done here.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Damn, retired it? Retired the jersey.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I should have hung that in the rafters. But that's
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: how I feel, though. So this is another thing I
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: joked about in another chat. These dudes get paid a
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: million dollars a year and put their life.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: On the line.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: And we mad because we don't got a quarterback or
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: we got low fantasy points. Nah, facts.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It's like we boil it down to something so simple. But, buddy,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not only is his whole year ruined in real life,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: but he's, like, concerned about his future now. Like, he
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. Like, he don't know
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: if he's going to heal like how he's supposed to. Like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it's insane, bro.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: And we're over here like, damn, my parlay. Damn, my
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: fantasy team. Damn, the playoffs this season. Like, is that
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: disrespectful of us? Nah, facts.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Bro, I remember, I don't know if you remember, bro,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but in the fantasy group chat when they have I
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: think it was a Monday night game.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think it was Sunday night. The DeMar Hamlin game.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: The Bills game.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I lost that.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Bro, people were so pissed.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Because there was bets riding on it, fantasy riding on it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: And they just canceled the game. So the game ended there.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And everybody was in the chat like, bro, this man
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: almost died on national TV, bro.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Yo, that made me snore. Because I was one of them.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I was definitely one of them. If the game would
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: have finished.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, bro, have a heart.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Have a heart. We could never.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: That was an insane game, bro. And like you said, bro,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: kind of ties into what you just said. The way
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: they put their bodies on the line, their lives on
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the line. We take that for granted, bro.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: And stuff like that. And you're like, dang, they really
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: out there just tackling. We could never. Literally, bro. We
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: could never.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Bro, I played high school football for like a few games, bro.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I remember one time, dog, this brolic white boy, bro.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: He was safety. And then it was a practice game.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: We were just in practice, bro. Quarterback threw it to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: me up the middle. I said, just like this.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Grab that thing. Turn just like this.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: But he was right there and laid me out, dog.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And there's just nothing I can do. You know what
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Because I'm just focused on the ball. As
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: soon as I turn, I kept the ball. You know
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I'm not saying I was a hooper,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: but I kept the ball. Just letting y'all know I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: ain't dropping it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: But, dog.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: It's a completion. When he dropped me like that, I
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, my God. And they getting dropped like
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: that all game long. Consistently. That's why people be like, oh,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: why did he take the running backs out after a
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: couple of downs? Because he's getting.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Freaking dogpiled by 17 grown men at the same time, bro.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I got Jamar Gibbs in two leagues. And I watch him.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Jameer Gibbs?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Jameer. What did I say? Jamar. Jameer Gibbs in two leagues, yeah.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: And I watch his games and I see him just
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: get smacked and smacked and smacked and smacked. And I'm like,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: how is he going to last that long in that game?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: You see the punishment they take, and I'm like, there's
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: no way.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: It's like Derrick Henry, bro. They'd be like, oh.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Every year they say he's going to fall off, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: every year he'd still be pretty consistent still.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: He's a monster.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Exactly. That's exactly what I was about to say.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Only guys like that, Adrian Peterson, only guys like that
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: are breaking the mold because they just built a freaking tank, bro.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Anybody else?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: So Jerome Bettis was a Brandon Jacobs monster. Brandon Jacobs, yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: But even his run wasn't even like all that. Because
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: he just kept following.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Or like Joe Budden said, everybody's run stops. That's Brandon Jacobs.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Damn, how you know that line?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Bro, I'm telling you, dog.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: How you know that line? I was always tapped in
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: to whatever Joe Budden dropped.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I wasn't like.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was ever a top artist for me,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: but there was always dope.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Songs that he dropped that I rocked with. You know
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: what I mean?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I'm big on.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I'm also big on the lyricism, bro.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: If you could say some slick stuff rapping where it
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like you're trying to say slick stuff. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: was just talking about it with AJ before we were
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: talking about it on the pod. I hate a rapper
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that talks about how they rap. As soon as you're
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: telling me how good of a rapper you are, that's it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: You're not creative. That's corny, bro.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me you're a good rapper by telling
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: me you're how good of a rapper you are.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: You have to just show me you're a good rapper.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: And it's like, that's kind of like, but it's funny.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Cause there's an audience for that. You know what I'm saying?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Like Eminem fans, bro.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: They love, they love the, yo, I'm, I'm just way
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: better at the skill of rapping than you.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Like, okay, cool. Y'all, y'all can have that lane. You
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? There's plenty of artists in that lane.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: We only got to keep naming them, but you know, the,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the master, the grandmaster is definitely Eminem, bro. Like, He's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the grandmaster of the fast, lyrical, miracle rap. That's the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: funny thing, bro. Every artist you see online that raps
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like Eminem, they always say Venom in the verse. That's
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: like the word that you have to put in every
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: verse is Venom.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Every Eminem rapper sounds like Eminem. But you know what?
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Real quick, to a point, there's still some rappers from
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: back then, like Wu-Tang. They just had a show in
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Orlando last night. And that style of rap, which I
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: think is like Benny the Butcher, what's their crew called? Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Griselda.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Griselda. I think they are like the new age Wu-Tang.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And I listen to Wu-Tang, but they weren't my favorite. Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: So that's why I wasn't crazy about the concert. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: I listen to Griselda, but I don't really listen to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: them in my playlist.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And Wu-Tang, they had that in them to be the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: lyrical miracle rappers, you know?
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Soccer sheets, philosophies, I'm bumming these, you know what I'm saying?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: It's cool, and when you're young and you hear that,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: you're like, damn, bro, he's spazzing. But, like, after a while,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you know what I'm saying? Like, bro,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I think about, like, that's why, like, they'll say, like,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: 50 Cent not lyrical, bro.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Like, you're insane. You're insane.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: He's not lyrical miracle, but Dawg, like, He has a flow.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Even just like, he's so just like memorable. You know
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Like even like, bro, like, I need
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you to pray for me and I need you to
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: care for me. Bro, like you could pull out anything
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: from like a whole bunch of his albums, little pieces
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of whatever. And you just, bro, he says some real stuff.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: That you just remember, bro.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: God gave me style. God gave me grace. That's one
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: of my favorites.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Bro, song is gas, bro.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: You can't develop that harmony. Doing that kind of rap.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: And that's the kind of thing that people overlook. Like, oh,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: he's not lyrical.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, you got to look past the obvious.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: That's the thing to me. It's like, yo, the lyrical
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: miracle stuff is obvious, bro. That's there.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I could almost predict some of the words. Literally, bro.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: But when you was just saying some slick stuff that
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: you really thought about and you really put it to
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a pen in a way that sounds slicker than what
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: it is, it's like, all right, no.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: You want some different stuff. I saw a recent conversation
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: that I know we get in.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: No, no, we good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: We good. Oh, we good. Recent conversation. The Fab and
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Mase debate.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I'm Mase all the time.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mase is one of the reasons why I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: started listening to rap, even.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Just seeing him on all that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: But do they have similar styles, though?
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I always thought Fab bit for Mase. Oh,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: he did?
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: His flow and his style and everything. Oh, I've never
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: heard that before. Yep.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: And Fab has kind of like alluded to it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, obviously he listened to that growing up
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and the New York style influenced him.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: But that flow, bro, that's.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Mase, dog.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Like that cool laid back, But you still spit in
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and it's still like, bro, that's.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Mase, bro.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And honestly- Bro, go to see the- And that even
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: was like, that was Pharrell.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Pharrell gave it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: He didn't even want to do that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Because that's the same flow as Ice Ice Baby.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, I remember hearing that. Yeah.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: The same flow as the Rob Bass thing, too. Because
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Ice Ice Baby even steals it from Rob Bass. And
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: that was Pharrell's idea? That was Pharrell's idea. He had
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to damn near force him to do it, and that
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: ended up being his biggest song. You know what I mean?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, bro, like- I mean, to me, this whole
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Fab versus Lloyd Banks versus Jimmy Jones, all that conversation, bro,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I'd be low-key like, bro, why are y'all even bringing
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Mase up in this conversation?
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Mase is up here, bro.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: People sleep on Mase because he took a big time
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: off and he was a pastor for.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: A little bit. He was able to rap on any beat.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Bro, and he would be... Yo, you would hear Mase
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: on a song with DMX. And then do a song
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: with Mariah the next day. Bro, and he'll kill it
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: on both songs, bro. Like, Mase was so versatile. Mase
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: wrote so much stuff, like, so much bad boy stuff
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: back in those days.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he wrote a lot. I mentioned earlier, 24 Hours
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: to Live, like, that's still one of the hardest songs ever.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Bro, super banger, super banger.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And it's like, it's one of those things where, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind, but like, Bro, comparing
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: him to Fab, I always felt with Fab, I always like.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Him in the moment. Always.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Anytime Fab drops something at the time, I like it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: but it don't got no replay value for me like
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: honestly like I don't really have like a library of
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Fab stuff that I go back to cause it's like.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: You wanna hear a hot take what is Fab Drake's
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: rap version of himself what do you mean like the
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: way Fab rhymes and the way Drake rhymes You think
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: they're similar? Like when Drake raps, would you compare that
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: to Fab's rhymes?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Bro, I would even say Drake's rapping is like, he
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: out-raps Fab even. I don't know if I can go there.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: The Fab stuff just doesn't stick with me like other
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: music does.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: And it's just a preference thing, obviously, bro. I'm not.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not shitting on Fab because I listen to all,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: like if you play some Fab right now, I probably
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: know it word for word.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It's just when I hear it nowadays, I don't let
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: it ride like I let some Nas ride, some Mase ride.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Bro, that, in my like loose rotation, I got that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: what you want, the total joint. Because like bro, he
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: raps so smooth on that and that joint is so dope.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just like one of the songs, but
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: like a lot of the Mase stuff just still holds
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: up so well and it's.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Like such a good vibe. I would say I'm equally
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: put them in the same tier, maybe at the same level.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Fab and Mase?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I enjoy them both so much. I genuinely
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: feel like that's like.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Growing up, like when Harlamo came out, he started wearing
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: his hat backwards, covering his eyebrows. I used to do
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: that too. I know every Mase album, all his freestyles,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: but I know the same with Fab.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Man, Fab was super influential and dope, but I don't
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: even think you can put him and Mase in the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: same sentence, bro.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: I think today, and I think that's where most of
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: these arguments come from, today, Fab's still gone. Yeah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: He's still going, but like, I don't know, bro.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know, man. He's still going. He's gone. It's
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: like LeBron and MJ, right? Who's... Just because you've gone
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the longest.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Nah, bro.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Does that mean you're better? But you're still relevant. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: the quality of what Fab has been doing is not like.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: But he still does shows and he still does concerts.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, all artists still do shows. But Mase does.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Mase and Fab. See, but you talking
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: about Mase. He wrote so much stuff. He don't need
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to perform. He's not in the situation Fab was in.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Because like we talked about. Pharrell told him, use this flow,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and he was produced. Mase was producing himself. That's why
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he could sit back and just be the legend Mase,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: because he's in a different situation musically. And even just financially,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: where he don't need to be on the road. Being
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: on the road as an artist is crucial because a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: lot of these people are not getting big cuts of
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: their music.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Especially Phab. A lot of the big stuff that you
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: remember Phab from is features on other people's stuff.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: That's what really had him hot. It's just like he
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: was always so hot. No, but he had his mixtapes too.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but as.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Far as people really knowing him, what kept him hot
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: was he was so hot that people would get him
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: on songs.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Like the Ne-Yo song.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: You know, he was always on the dope R &
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: B record, the Jagged Edge.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Joint, you know what I mean?
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: But he had the soul tapes.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Tamiya, you know what I mean? He was on the
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: NT remix. And then was the Funeral Fab. No, he
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: had a run with the bass tapes too.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: He had that run, but dog, people, like people outside
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of us was not listening to that, bro.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody was listening to that, like outside of us. It
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't even like, they weren't even playing that in the clubs,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Like, at those times.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they weren't. They definitely weren't.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Like I said, bro, it sounds like I don't like Fab,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: but I did. I liked Fab growing up. I know
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of his music. I used to dress like Fab.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not putting one in front of the other, so
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: I don't take offense to anything. I feel the same
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: way about Mase, but I feel the same way about Fab.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I don't take offense to either or. I couldn't pick
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: between them two.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: To me, Fab makes sense. Him, Jim Jones, Lloyd Banks.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: dave east like that i feel like he's in that
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: tier okay you know i mean he got big songs
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: but again jim jones got big songs too you know
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: i'm saying um what was the lloyd banks got big
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: songs too they all probably got the same kind of
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like numbers as far as like global like.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Hits and stuff yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: But they're like you know they're more like regional i
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: feel like you know i'm saying like people know them
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: but like like like I bet you a 21-year-old kid
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is not going to know anything from Fab, you know
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Like, same way he probably won't know
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: anything from Mase, but he'll recognize the Mase stuff more
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: because it was more impactful, you know.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: What I mean? Yeah, Bad Boy was a lot bigger
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: than Fabs.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Nah, for sure.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Yo, speaking of Bad Boy, bro, I know Diddy getting
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: out got delayed, but he's supposed to be getting out soon, bro.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think February.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's next year, but... Yeah, February next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: we already passed February. What am I saying?
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: But yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Rob Markman, that's going to be What do you think
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: he going to do on his What route do you
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: think he going to take?
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: He's going to go right back to what he was doing.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Rob Markman, You think so? Yeah. As far as business
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: and the game-wise, he's going to be out there. He's
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: going to do Netflix documentaries, Hulu documentaries, probably put out
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: an album with Kanye.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Rob Markman, You think so? I feel like he's done
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: with the music.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: But if everything that Kanye's done And that doesn't stop him.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I just feel like Diddy's done with the music for
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: some reason. I don't have no reason to think that.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever been.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: You know one thing I saw about Diddy that surprised
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: me is that he was in studio sessions with Khaled
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: and all these random artists that had nothing to do
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: with him. But he was in all those studio sessions.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: So I feel like he's still tapped into the music.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: They've always hailed how much of a genius he was musically.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: And even when he was like, an intern back in
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the day, before he really got his deal and got
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: put on and everything, they said he would notice, like, yo,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this artist is next to blow. He would see the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: label pushing somebody and be like, I don't know about him.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe this guy, though, I think he was going to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: be somebody. And then it would end up going that way.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: So he definitely got the ear and he got the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: eye for it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: But I don't know, man.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I think to me it's more the age thing. After
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: going through that. The kind of person I am. R.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Kelly's still making songs in jail, bruh.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: But R.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Kelly's an artist. He's an artist.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: He's a singer, singer. No, but when you love that,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I don't think that'll ever stop.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: He still probably do got that love for sure. And
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: I think that's be a way for... And that's how
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: I feel about Kanye is like, I think this is
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: the way to still prove themselves. They are who they
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: were or want to be back to who they were
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: because of the music they use the music for. And
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I think they will do the same. Yeah, facts.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: We'll kind of wrap it up there. I also wanted
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to just shout out Akeem Ali, man. I seen him
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: on The Breakfast Club, and he did something dope, man.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: He really went on air, shouted out his tour, and said, yo,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the tickets ain't selling as well as I thought they would.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: And he literally said the city names and said the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: venue size and how many tickets sold. And some of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: them was like 800-person venue, 100 tickets sold, you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: 500 person venue, 60 tickets sold.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: He kept it super real, bro. Super, super real.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: That's very transparent for artists.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kind of brings it all full circle.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You look him up online, he got crazy views. He's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: gone viral a few times with different joints that he's done.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: He's super dope. He's somebody that I listen to. Shout
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: out to my boy Freddie. He put me on to him.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And shout out to First Day Fresh also. They do
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: music reviews and stuff out of Mississippi and he's always
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: spotlighted him back in the day. But It was surprising
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: to me to see, like, you know, the slow ticket sales.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Like, me seeing, like, yo, he's so dope, and I
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: see him online all the time. But that's my algorithm.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? It ain't popping up for everybody.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: So those numbers could be deceiving.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I wanted to shout out his Orlando show, man. October 2nd,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: he going to be at Beachum. And he mentioned that
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: show in the thing. Like, I think it holds, like,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: 800 people. And he only got like 100 tickets sold.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure after talking about it on The Breakfast Club,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: he's going to sell two. But I definitely wanted to
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: shout it out. I'm honestly thinking about pulling up to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that just because I'm a fan of him. And something
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: that I've done in the past that I regret is
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: not taking advantage to see certain artists when they're around,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: especially when they're at a smaller spot and it's easy.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: To see them. Yeah, early on in their career before
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: you put it on.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's definitely something I want to be a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: part of. Hopefully I can make it out there. If not,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: somebody let us know how it went. Again, we got
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: our event. When you're hearing this, it's going to be tonight. Tonight,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: September 24th, Feel Good Farms in Osteen. Make sure y'all
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: pull up, tap in. Keep a lookout on some of
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the new type of stuff that we're going to be doing.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody that's been tapping in with us,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: especially the local people, man.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: That's been big love.
• 38:47
