Transcript
- 0:01What is going on y'all is Less Sanchez, Quincy, Jamal, Joe Fernies
- 0:08and we're back Episode ninety nine of The Grounded Show ninety nine. I really,
- 0:17I really feel like the Madden Spectacular is like the perfect I gotta get
- 0:28you had a weird sound thing though, yeah you and now, but yeah,
- 0:34I feel like episode one hundred will be perfect for the Madden Spectacular,
- 0:38Like, yeah, the guys on, you know, being the commentary team,
- 0:43we could be the three man booth. Yeah, and just catching y'all
- 0:47playing that Madden. I think that's gonna be a dope vibe. Quincy.
- 0:50Who's your squad? I mean it depends. I usually do well, it
- 0:55depends because I usually do random pick the best out of three, But I
- 0:59mean it depends on what you're trying to do, because I mean, you
- 1:02probably run with one team and you know you done mastered that team. Who's
- 1:07your sky? There's a couple of questions. One still flip a coin on
- 1:11me. Bring everybody up to speed. This is the Madden game that we've
- 1:15talked about for a long time that hasn't happened, And it's like one of
- 1:18those things that the longer it doesn't happen, the more like build up it
- 1:21gets. So now it's like leading to like the episode one hundred, the
- 1:26first time they play each other in Madden. Let me actually, noa,
- 1:29Noah, let's do this. Man, I'm gonna interview y'all before you know
- 1:33what I mean, because, as y'all know, I play Call of Duty
- 1:37and that's it. I'm not a gamer. I suck at games. I
- 1:40just I don't know. Man, It's just not my thing. But for
- 1:42some reason, Call of Duty is my thing. So as far as Madden
- 1:47goes, I've seen a lot of people play Madden, obviously because everybody loves
- 1:51Madden. What level are you guys? Like, are y'all like y'all pull
- 1:56up on the homies and when y'all play Madden like that, y'all winning all
- 2:00the time? Like what what? What's the what's the Madden levels? Here?
- 2:02Joe? You go first. I've only played Madden with a few friends,
- 2:07and what we do is we we do best of seven, uh,
- 2:13and then once you win the best of seven, that's that's your first full
- 2:16win. So what skill level do you play on? I don't play.
- 2:23Is it Hall of Fame? And Madden? The ad all Bro Yeah,
- 2:30like right underneath all mad Yeah, yeah, one underneath all Madden one.
- 2:37Yeah. Yeah. Have you played all Madden? Like, are you comfortable
- 2:40playing all Madden? Yeah? No, but it's that's uh, that's not
- 2:46my place over Yeah. So what do the streamers do they play all Madden?
- 2:53Well, they played, they play, they play people they don't play.
- 2:55But either way, the yeah, copeter level, you know what I
- 3:00mean, I don't know. I have hard how hard? You know what
- 3:04I'm saying? Like, yeah, precision because you throw a hell Mary and
- 3:08Buddy's catching it right every time. All right, So Quincy, you,
- 3:14what is your skill level on Madden? And what difficulty do you play it
- 3:17on? So I used to be that that guy, like I used to
- 3:22be like the one that would kill everybody in Madden. But I'm not gonna
- 3:24lie. I stopped playing Madden for years and then I just got back recently
- 3:29into playing Madden, like a year ago. As far as the skill level
- 3:31I play on, I play on All Pro all Okay, So y'all play
- 3:35on the same MOE so we could just run all Pro then Yeah, that's
- 3:38that's easy enough. That's an easy agreement right there. That's all I've ever
- 3:42seen it. Like I said, those all Madden people, those are like
- 3:45the Madden tournament dudes. That's the fact they got it, bro. So
- 3:50as far as teams go, Quincy was saying something interesting. You random three
- 3:54team, You press a random three times and you pick whatever team out of
- 3:58those three. Chief any sports game I do that, But I mean that's
- 4:04so that's my thing. So any sports game, I feel like to keep
- 4:08it interesting. It's all because you know, it's all strategy. It's all
- 4:12like you picked the best team out of the three and you play with you
- 4:16Why don't we do this where you guys do the random thing, right,
- 4:21y'all pick your best team out of the three, but then you play again
- 4:26reversed like those two randoms that you got. I like that, just be
- 4:31the same teams but reverse. I like it that way. If somebody else
- 4:35wins, then you do the best out of three. You the one person
- 4:39wins both of them with both teams. That's it. You can't say,
- 4:42yeah, that's that's actually I like that a lot. Damn what you think
- 4:46about that, Joe, that that's a great media. I think part of
- 4:49this skill is also picking the right team. But what I'm saying is y'all
- 4:55will both have a chance to be the team. You know what I mean.
- 4:58So let's say, let's say it's chief better. What if I like
- 5:00both of the teams? You gotta win one, so the last game,
- 5:04then you could pick your team. Yeah, what about that. I'm done.
- 5:11I'm down a dude either way. What about we flip the order,
- 5:14like y'all play the random then y'all you pick a team and then reverse the
- 5:18teams. That, y'all we can do that. I'm with it with that
- 5:23work. That'll work. Yep, I like that. I like that all
- 5:26right, So we I gotta write this in here. Yeah, definitely,
- 5:29uh say the Wolves. That's the three random three teams. Hey, I
- 5:38wish them boys was free tomorrow and everybody this was would have been a perfect
- 5:41day if like everybody. I think everybody probably will be free something now.
- 5:45Joe had somewhere to be. Yeah, at some point, maybe later on
- 5:47in the day, he'll be home. Yeah, we going early, so
- 5:50we're gonna be back early. We're not gonna be back late. So yeah,
- 5:54late afternoon evening. I'll be probably here chilling do nothing. I'll be
- 5:57fair if you make it happen. All right, So we're doing best of
- 6:04three the way we choose the teams. In the first one, you pick
- 6:09three random teams. You pick your best team out of those. Then the
- 6:12second game is gamer's choice. Last game is reverse teams of round one.
- 6:20Okay, So now with that said, Joe, I run with the Ravens.
- 6:27I knew that, Like, how did I know that? Like a
- 6:30little raven though? With us? Who you play with? Joe, I'd
- 6:40probably say my favorite squad is the Bills. The Bills. That's a good.
- 6:43That's a good, it's a good matchup. I'm not gonna lie,
- 6:46low key, I'll be down to play some street fighter bro on the stream.
- 6:53Yo. Junior is like a street fighter grand master Yo he is.
- 6:58Yeah, Yo, we should have We should host him playing my brother Dog.
- 7:03He walked up to some in Vegas and won. The whole ship just
- 7:06walked out. Yo. Let's real talk, Yo. Setting up that twitch
- 7:11wasn't that bad. Like, obviously I gotta get a different camera, but
- 7:14Yo, I'm down to like start getting on duty. Bro. Like with
- 7:16that, I say, you could do fire. It'll work on the Xbox.
- 7:19That camera work on Xbox. Sure, Yeah, I definitely will you
- 7:24know. I've thought about that plenty of times. But dog, I'll be
- 7:28I'll be talking wild on that Xbox. Bro, I don't know if I
- 7:31don't know if I could censor myself, bro, like yo, for those
- 7:36of y'all that don't know, When you play Xbox Online, they added a
- 7:40new AI feature now, so it analyzes the stuff that you say, and
- 7:44it'll administer bands and it'll administer like punishments based on the stuff you say.
- 7:50Bro, I'm on like a permanent band, dog like, I'm always band
- 7:55like. I can't talk. I can only talk to my friends literally,
- 7:59like my Xbox. It's like, yo, you can only talk to people
- 8:01that accepted your friend requests before. You are not allowed to talk to n
- 8:05they say. But the craziest part about that is that he only talks to
- 8:09his friends anyways. He literally needs everybody like the kill cam and stuff.
- 8:18You know how they can hear you at the end and everything. Oh okay,
- 8:20okay, I think it's just I'm saying too much wild stuff there.
- 8:24You know what I'm gonna do from now, I gotta like, I gotta
- 8:26gauge it, like I gotta tell myself, Yo, let me play like
- 8:30if we're on the stream right now. Yeah, and then like you know,
- 8:33I gotta figure out like a way to to find a nice middle ground
- 8:37dog because I can't just be quiet either, but at the same time,
- 8:39like I can't be out here bringing shame to my whole family like in the
- 8:46streets. Yo. It's crazy how like when we was little, and not
- 8:52even like little like that, because we were at the very beginning of online
- 8:54gaming, so we were like a little older already, you know what I'm
- 8:58saying when we started getting online, like as far as like we wasn't like
- 9:01our kids age where they're like online at like five years old, you know
- 9:03what I mean. So back in the day, they used to always tell
- 9:09us like that, don't mean don't talk to nobody online. Don't mean nobody
- 9:13online. Like that was like a big thing, like the stranger danger thing
- 9:16transferred into the computer, you know what I mean. It was like your
- 9:20parents didn't want you talking or nobody online. If you had a friend and
- 9:24you was like, it's my friend from school, they didn't even believe you.
- 9:26They was like, nah, that's somebody posing as a kid or something.
- 9:30It's like that, you know, parents were real like paranoid about the
- 9:33end exactly the fact it's like you, they will only want you playing with
- 9:37people like that you verified where like your actual friend, and like they've seen
- 9:41in person, you know. So you fast forward to now that was like
- 9:46the stereotype kind of thing. That was kind of like the general consensus amongst
- 9:54parents and stuff. And now this guy doctor disrespect and slaughtered and taking off
- 10:03every every chance everything that he was on that was making money. He's gone
- 10:07because they call him sending like uh twitch whispers, which is basically like a
- 10:11snapchat to minors with like you know, this is all legend, you know
- 10:18what I'm saying. But basically they were saying like, well, he admitted
- 10:22it out there. He admitted it, but he said that there was no
- 10:24intention behind it, you know what I mean. So the allegation is now
- 10:28there was intention behind it, and there was an attempt to meet up and
- 10:31everything. Dang. I mean, it don't matter intent or not, but
- 10:35you're still doing some wild dog. We were talking about this in the chat
- 10:39the other day. It's crazy how many people mess up their situation because they
- 10:46can't do a simple thing like hey, don't cheat on your wife, Hey
- 10:50don't talk to little kids, Hey, don't be doing X, Y and
- 10:54Z. Like so many people would just play themselves out of their position because
- 10:58they ego or whatever it is inside them that just makes them want to do
- 11:03whatever they want to do. Just won't let up. You know what I'm
- 11:05saying, Don't diddle kids facts. It's like you can't stop. Won't stop.
- 11:13You see what I did? Yeah? Did you see us share at
- 11:16the VT Awards except behind the scenes like footage where he was like talking about,
- 11:22you know, trying to smash me basically like oh damn wait what happened?
- 11:26Yeah, he was like he said some ship basically saying like I mean,
- 11:31not backstage. It was like off camera like because no, yeah,
- 11:33they cut. I didn't watch it, but I kind of saw it after
- 11:37the fact that from what I understand, during the live broadcast, they were
- 11:41kind of muting him and like kind of like not really showing him on screen
- 11:46when he was saying this whole speech, but like people that were actually there
- 11:50that were taking video of it. He was basically saying like, you know,
- 11:54it's been a crazy ride. And he was cussing a lot too.
- 11:56He's like, you know, it's been a crazy ride. You know how
- 12:00to deal with people trying to f me. Y'all know what he was like,
- 12:03y'all know what I'm talking about? What like, because you know he
- 12:11was kind of reflecting on his whole career. Yeah, like Joe was saying,
- 12:15BT kind of cut it and it really took out a lot of stuff.
- 12:18But he was wild though. He was cussing like crazy. We'll pull
- 12:20it up later when we do the clip reactions and stuff, because wow,
- 12:24bro, you know what happened. I know what happened. Bro. He
- 12:28saw he saw so now she doing that cover and he was like, this
- 12:31is what they do to me. I've been through everything I did. This
- 12:37is my tribute. He probably felt like, Bro, when they did that
- 12:43tribute to Michael Jackson, he was performing you know what I'm saying, and
- 12:48that was Usher after like you don't have to call like he was already like
- 12:52on you know what I'm saying. It's like, damn, bro, I
- 12:56was. I was tributing Usher and you got these freaking sing artists here that
- 13:01don't even like really have my sound. Like it was crazy, like yo,
- 13:05shout out, can't be. He's a dope artist and everything, and
- 13:09I love him and just as an actor too. I love the I love
- 13:13the community, and I love what he did and that he's dope. Man.
- 13:16He has some for the BET Awards. You heard that too, Yeah,
- 13:20yeah, but Dog, they had him up there singing falsetto with auto
- 13:24tune when he don't got like he's not a singer like that. You feel
- 13:28what I'm saying, Like, this is how you're gonna give tribute to Usher
- 13:31Dog like a guy that's like a nice singer. You know, he's more
- 13:35musical than actually a singer, And it ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm
- 13:37the same way, bro. I'm not just like a natural singing dude.
- 13:41I'm just good at writing. I'm good at coming up with melodies. I
- 13:45choose good beats, so like I could use everything else to, like,
- 13:48you know, make it happen. But at the same time, I'm not
- 13:52gonna be like doing a Whitney Houston tribute. You know what I'm saying,
- 13:54Because I know Lane, you know what I'm saying. So it's like just
- 13:58seeing that I was like, I cut it off after that. I didn't
- 14:01even really like catch like all the other people, and I didn't really hear
- 14:07I mean, I didn't really understand the backlashes because I didn't watch it past
- 14:09that point. Because literally, bro, when I see this guy singing,
- 14:13singing in slow motion and Falsetto started off like with auto tune, I'm like,
- 14:18bro, what are they doing right now? Like it didn't make no
- 14:22sense. It could have gotten anybody else. They could have gotten everybody else,
- 14:26Like you know how many people? It's probably down, Well, there's
- 14:28so many. Maybe that's part of it though, you know people always they
- 14:33always say people always turn it down to BET Awards and never showing up.
- 14:37That's true, but I mean it's also it's also like, you know,
- 14:41why is that? You know what I'm saying, Like, look at what
- 14:43the BET Awards has become, you know what I mean, Like from the
- 14:48standpoint of like, I don't know, bro, Like it's kind of like
- 14:50a chicken in the egg thing though exactly. That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 14:54is it because of the no support or is the no support because they're
- 14:58not doing well with it? You know what I'm saying. It makes me
- 15:01think of something that I heard a Spanish artist say one time, and he
- 15:05was he's a real big Spanish artist, and he was saying, and I
- 15:07was literally there with him hearing him say this, like he's like, Yo.
- 15:11The crazy thing is like, whenever they want me to perform in my
- 15:15home country, they want me to perform for like a thousand dollars. They
- 15:18want me to perform for free, you know what I'm saying. And it's
- 15:20like, Bro, I'm going to these countries around the globe and they filling
- 15:26up soccer stadiums giving me five hundred g's for a show, But you want
- 15:30me to come back home, go to the hood, risk my life to
- 15:35do the show for free so that you can just turn around and say,
- 15:37yeah, he better have done that. You know, we put him on,
- 15:39you know what I'm saying. And it kind of goes back into what
- 15:43you was talking about with the BET Awards. I wonder if it's something like
- 15:46that where they're kind of just saying, hey, you black, come do
- 15:48it, and they're just expecting people to just be on board with whatever they're
- 15:52doing instead of instead of maybe the people at BT are not treating it like
- 15:58the Grammys. You feel me exactly exactly, And I don't know. I'm
- 16:02just saying, like, I wonder what it is. I wonder if it's
- 16:04the artists not giving it the credit, or if it's the people putting it
- 16:07together not giving it the credit. I don't know, man, but I
- 16:11know it's definitely like you said, or Chicken and the Eggs in that kind
- 16:15of situation. Like and it's been like like I think we had this conversation
- 16:18where I said, I haven't really paid much mind to the BET Awards in
- 16:22a long time, Like you know what I mean, A long time.
- 16:26And I mean it's not that I'm not interested in music. It's not that
- 16:33I'm not interested in black entertainment. It's just that the things that are typically
- 16:37highlighted I'm not interested in. And I don't know, maybe it's just not
- 16:41for me, you know what I'm saying, Like, maybe it's for more
- 16:45of a youthful crowd. I guess you could say. So did you watch
- 16:47it this year? No? I didn't. I just saw something like highlights,
- 16:51and even the highlights that I did see the only ones that I was
- 16:53actually impressed with. What's Coco Jones? So what in the past have you
- 16:57seen that you said it's not for you. I can't recall right now,
- 17:02to be honest with you, But like the vibe, is it it's just
- 17:06you know, just judging off of what happened this past year and how they
- 17:08used so many like new artists to put together that tribute and the way they
- 17:12put it together, I could see if it's that kind of vibe, I
- 17:15could see why you wouldn't want to watch it, because I wouldn't want to
- 17:18watch it if that was the vibe all the time, you know what I'm
- 17:19saying. And I feel like that's the kind of the case with the BT
- 17:23Wars. I feel like, slowly but surely, the quality of I mean,
- 17:27I remember a time when the BT Awards, Bro, you were seeing
- 17:33I mean, obviously I'm going kind of far back back and just looking at
- 17:36the caliber of talent you were seeing Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child,
- 17:42all of them in one night, and the caliber of talent. You
- 17:45know what I'm saying. And I feel like, right now, it's a
- 17:51very missa award show for the big artists exactly exactly Like I ain't gonna lie
- 17:57bro, like some of the some of the performances that I saw, I
- 18:00just was not impressed. Yeah, it's also they don't get that that good
- 18:07of numbers either, you know, what I'm saying, like nobody's checking it
- 18:10and they and they got that on every channel, Like we we saw that
- 18:14it was playing like on Comedy Central and ship mm hmm, oh that's crazy.
- 18:17I didn't even know that. They're probably trying to he owns all those
- 18:21channels. Then, yeah, they're doing like a bigger push now for it.
- 18:25Man, Hopefully we'll see it turn around and do a little better,
- 18:27you know what I'm saying. But going back to what you were saying,
- 18:30Joe that the rant that child is, Gambino had basically saying, how do
- 18:34how do me and Sam Smith have the same amount of Black Entertainment Awards and
- 18:40he has more Grammys and Will Smith? Yeah he got, but he got
- 18:45the same amount of Black Entertainment Awards as Sam Smith. Make it make sense.
- 18:52Wait a minute, ce Cee, I don't that. I don't.
- 18:53I didn't. I didn't know about those things. The wait, fill fill
- 18:56me in on that post. Basically, that's that's the stat that he gave.
- 19:00He was like, it's crazy that this child is can't be no saying
- 19:06it. It's crazy that I have more Grammys than Will Smith, but I
- 19:10got the same amount of BT Awards as Sam Smith. He's like, I'm
- 19:14tied with another artist would be won with the white guy BT Awards, but
- 19:22he got more Grammys than Will Smith. And that's just you know that,
- 19:26Oh man, that just speaks volume to uh, the point of go where
- 19:30you are a celebrated, not tolerated, exactly celebrated now where you're tolerated exactly.
- 19:40Because people always used to make that that that assumption about Childish Gambo that
- 19:45his crowd was, you know, the white crowd and blah blah blah blah
- 19:48blah. But it's like, come on, man, chilge can't be you
- 19:51know, as talented man, you know, very very talented. He's definitely
- 19:56h what is that called he got? He's a he's a he got type
- 20:00guy like he definitely hitting everything. Mister Smith is an amazing show. I'm
- 20:06pretty sure he already got some. I'm pretty sure he's either halfway there or
- 20:11three fourths of the way there. Donald Glover, he got. I think
- 20:18BT does well with the Hip Hop Awards doing this. It's fun, Yeah
- 20:22he does. It's the only hip Hop awards show, so I think that
- 20:26one matters more. Yeah, they kind of because when the Source Awards kind
- 20:33of Folded. Source Awards had that notoriety. They weren't necessarily like mainstream,
- 20:37but it had the notoriety because all the rappers was going there. And man,
- 20:41it's funny because this is something that I was talking about with my boy
- 20:45Matt. It's like and it's something that has come up before. Like I
- 20:48don't categorize Roddy Rich with J Cole. You feel me like they're both rappers
- 20:53in the eyes of like the Grammys and everything, but like, there's no
- 20:56way I could compare a J Cole album with a Roddy Rich album, and
- 21:02I like both artists. You feel me like I wouldn't be able to compare
- 21:06just because it's unfair. Like J Cold on J Cole is a rapper,
- 21:10Roddy Rich to me, is not a rapper. Like, yes, the
- 21:14sound has evolved in its new style and it's where the hip hop genre has
- 21:18gone, but Roddy Rich is not a rapper. You feel me like,
- 21:22I don't know if we got to separate hip hop and rap, like,
- 21:26hey, this is hip hop where hip hop would be like you know,
- 21:32gonna uh who I just said, Well, would I just say Roddy Rich?
- 21:38You know what I mean? People like that, and then rappers would
- 21:42be like Kendrick Lamar J Cole. You know what I'm saying, because I
- 21:47don't, like I said, like you have this award ceremony where you're comparing
- 21:53apples to oranges. I feel like, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 21:56like rap is not hip hop to me, like as far as like them
- 22:03being the same thing. No, that's I agreed on. I mean.
- 22:07And then like like you said, you know, you have different levels or
- 22:10not even levels, but different different facets of rap and different facets of hip
- 22:15hop. You know, you got the cloud rap, jazz rap. Uh,
- 22:19I guess you could call it pop pop, you know what I mean.
- 22:22You got so many different styles of these genres that you know, to
- 22:26just categorize them all as best hip Hop album, you know, it's almost
- 22:32like going to the Grammys and having Best Movie and putting all all of the
- 22:41genres in one category. You know, you can't really do that, you
- 22:45know, m It's like it makes sense if you're doing the overall, which
- 22:48is what they do. Like when they say album of the Year, they
- 22:51throw they throw like just all the best candidates, you know what I mean.
- 22:53But right they're all coming from the sub categories. You know what I'm
- 22:57saying, best rap them, best hip hop album, I mean, best
- 23:02R and B album, best pop out, you know what I'm saying,
- 23:03Like they're doing the overall a war, but at the same time they're still
- 23:07i mean, the Grammys is breaking it down like excruciatingly detailed, you know
- 23:11what I'm saying, Like they're doing like best soundtrack for a Wildlife film.
- 23:17You know what I'm saying, Like they're doing crazy categories. But as far
- 23:21as like we were saying with hip hop, they gotta be they gotta split
- 23:23it up a little, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like
- 23:26that also. You know that's part of the thing that these artists have a
- 23:30problem with when they're like, Bro, I'm putting together this amazing body of
- 23:33work, and I'm losing to this guy that what he's doing does sound nohing
- 23:37like what I'm doing, you know what I'm saying, right, And that's
- 23:41another reason why a lot of the people are looking at killing Mike as in
- 23:48like, you know, who is this guy and how is he winning all
- 23:51these war But it's like, Bro, the body of work that he put
- 23:55together is an actual body of art and any person that acts actually appreciates music,
- 24:00we'll tell you that, Yeah, this is random, but this I'm
- 24:04gonna make this a random callback to one of the first episodes we did when
- 24:10we were talking about Bad Bunny. We were saying how much influenced the labels
- 24:15and stuff have behind these things. It works. It works the same on
- 24:19the other side, like when we talk about Killer Mike, like he put
- 24:22all of his focus on having the Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys,
- 24:29so all of his money and resources went to make that the best chance
- 24:33that he had. You know what I'm saying, and he has no qualms
- 24:37about it. He will say it like I went into this for my own
- 24:41money with the goal of I want to win the Grammy for the Rap Album
- 24:45of the Year. So he made sure that the music got in the right
- 24:48hands. He made sure he was he started exactly, He made sure he
- 24:53was campaign in the right way and very direct when he was doing it.
- 24:57So it's like when it comes to the awards and stuff, some of that
- 25:03stuff is also just and it goes back to the thing about when the artist
- 25:07feels like, Wow, this guy won and he's doing something completely different because
- 25:11when Killer Mike won. Not that it wasn't deserving, but it was kind
- 25:15of a head scratcher from the point of view of the Grammy. The Grammy
- 25:19Committee has not liked rap like this in a long time, so for them
- 25:25to come out of left field and say, oh, we rocking with real
- 25:27hip hop, now, that was kind of like what you know what I'm
- 25:30saying. But like I said, it was a design. He wanted that
- 25:36position, and he made sure that he put all his money and all his
- 25:40work into it. Like I said, I'm not saying he wasn't deserving of
- 25:42it, because he's a great artist. He's a legacy artist who've been around
- 25:45for like thirty years. He was rapping with Andre three thousand and Big Boy
- 25:48every day, you know, done the family. He was around Selo and
- 25:52them, like the dude is accolades and he has had a Grammy before,
- 25:56so it's not foreign to him, you know what I'm saying. With the
- 25:59whole world, they want to they want to grab me, was it the
- 26:02whole world? The whole world? Yeah, yeah, catching people like the
- 26:06mouse. Yeah. But it's like, yeah, I feel like if if
- 26:11the BET Awards were a little more spotlighting, you know, the different sub
- 26:17genres, because it's like, if we're gonna say this is Black entertainment and
- 26:21this is the Black Entertainment Television Awards, they should be the ones breaking it
- 26:26down because this is y'all shit, right, you know what I'm saying,
- 26:30Like hip hop, it came from the minority community, the black and brown
- 26:33people, so hey, let's give it the attention that it deserves. And
- 26:38maybe that's what's missing with the awards that they're not giving. They're not treating
- 26:41hip hop as special as like for example, the Hip Hop fifty if came
- 26:48and went, the best tributes and the biggest things that happened, none of
- 26:51it came from bet none of it. No, they didn't really do anything
- 26:56like extravagant. They didn't they do do do do? They do good tribute
- 26:59to the dotes, small tributes. Yeah, And it's and it's maybe maybe
- 27:06it's the intention that needs to be there, you know what I mean,
- 27:08because something something definitely ain't clicking as far as like like Quincy was saying,
- 27:14bro, none of us checked it out, none of us even cared.
- 27:15And even with the controversy coming out of it, I still haven't like really
- 27:19went and looked at the clips, you know what I'm saying. I just
- 27:22saw the little short ones and read articles and it didn't even like make me
- 27:26say, hey let me go check out this Usher tribute or hey let me
- 27:30go check out what what he said afterwards in full You know what I mean.
- 27:33I just heard like that little clip of what he said, Like the
- 27:36buzz coming out of it wasn't anything that like grabbed anybody, you know what
- 27:41I'm saying. Yeah, And the lineup was a bunch of a bunch of
- 27:47like people who are just not big, huge namesake. He watched them like
- 27:52who are these people? Yeah? Is it still where where the there's two
- 27:57separate awards? Is it like hip Hop Awards and then the regular awards?
- 28:03The awards? Yeah, okay, so they still got it. Maybe that's
- 28:07part of it too, Like, well y'all got that separated. That's what
- 28:10I was saying. The hip Hop Awards are good. They put a lot
- 28:14of energy into that, but I think it's just just because it's one main
- 28:17focus in hip hop, and it's because it's the only one. Yeah awards,
- 28:25Yeah, he did a gospel song. What they have they're good.
- 28:30He just it's like, what is he doing. Where is that coming from
- 28:33this light over you? I'm seeing it's a person. It's personal Trainer banter.
- 28:41The song that he before, that's what it says, personal trainer banter.
- 28:47Yeah, we're gonna have to definitely watch that on the the reaction because
- 28:53what the heck? So we got the childish Gambino shout out his gat Beano
- 29:00video, Usher video and then Will Smith performance. That's definitely I mean,
- 29:10hey, maybe next year I'll check it out because we're actually talking about it,
- 29:12you know what I mean. Maybe next year I'll actually tap in because
- 29:15this is the most I've thought about the VT Awards in a long time.
- 29:19So maybe this is just like that first step, probably one of those things
- 29:25where they did something weird with the Usher tribute to just get people talking,
- 29:29you know what I mean. But yeah, man, yo, crazy turnative
- 29:33events. Today. I go to my son's basketball practice, right and my
- 29:40son brings his basketball and he's like, I'm like, yo, why are
- 29:42you bringing the ball. He's like, oh, just in case you get
- 29:45bored, you can shoot around in the back. I'm like, bro,
- 29:48it is mad hot out here. I'm not gonna be shooting around. And
- 29:52he's like I'll bring it just in case. So he brings the ball.
- 29:56We get to you know, typical Florida thing. We start getting towards the
- 30:00place where he does his basketball practice is inside the gym, but they got
- 30:03outside courts and as soon as we get close by, the clouds come out,
- 30:08but it don't rain, but it's like black. The sky is black,
- 30:11bro, but it's not raining, So like the sun got completely blocked
- 30:15out. It got kind of cool, a little breezy. I'm like,
- 30:18oh, dang, I guess I'm gona shoot around for a couple of minutes.
- 30:22So I go shoot around for like ten minutes and I come back inside.
- 30:25The whole point is I got the ball with me, Like I never
- 30:26have a basketball with me when I'm at my son's practice, you know.
- 30:30So after the practices, coaches like, hey, you know, if y'all
- 30:33could stay so we can talk after And basically she was like, oh,
- 30:37you know, I have to leave the team for now, you know what
- 30:40I mean. I'm not gonna be back till next season. So you know,
- 30:44we haven't really figured out our coach or anything, and anybody would like
- 30:45to volunteer, and nobody really said that, And I'm sitting there with the
- 30:49ball, you know what I'm saying, And I'm like, dang, I
- 30:55think I should just say, you know, I think I should raise my
- 30:57hand, you know what I mean? And then she asked again like I
- 31:00mean, like I said, whatever, whatever, you know, does anybody
- 31:03want to volunteer? And then I raised my hand. So I say that
- 31:07to say this, I'm a ye coach eight to ten basketball first on Saturday
- 31:14eight am. So I'm hype. Man, I'm gonna be out there with
- 31:15my iPad on the clipboard status you know what I mean. I got my
- 31:19lineups. I've already coached, Like yeah, I've already coached youth basketball before,
- 31:26but it's been a few years and I already watched my son's game like
- 31:30with that mentality, you know what I mean, Like I already am like,
- 31:33man, I would like to coach you. Yeah, like I would
- 31:36like to do these lineups, you know what I mean. And whenever he's
- 31:37done with his game, I always tell him like, hey, you know
- 31:41X, Y and Z. So I'm just I'm super hyping. He was
- 31:42hype too. That was like the part that made me the most hype when
- 31:45when I raised my hand and she said all right, so you're gonna be
- 31:48the next coach, he like cheered. You know what I'm saying, that's
- 31:52dope, hype, man. I hope it's something that you know, just
- 31:56develops. You know, it'd be dope to keep coaching them, you know,
- 31:59as he goes to the why and everything, that'll be super dope.
- 32:02Yeah, that's like the games, all right? Yeah, no, man,
- 32:06next next week is this week coming up as eight, the week after's
- 32:09ten, and then the week after his eight. Again, bro, I'm
- 32:12tight. But next year he switches the age groups and his age group don't
- 32:15have morning games at all. Like his earliest game will be like at eleven,
- 32:21you know. So I'm hype about that. I'm hoping to follow him
- 32:23through till next year, be able to coach his team next year too,
- 32:27they'll be eleven or thirteen, And like that was like the age range that
- 32:30I was coaching before, and I have yo that I feel like that's like
- 32:35my sweet spot right there as far as coaching goes. And y'all know I
- 32:37love basketball, so I'm gonna be super high and you know you're first done.
- 32:45It's about to be this Saturday year, crazy crazy, And I got
- 32:50the star player living at my crib. Guys, just watching tape. I
- 32:53imagine I got like cell phone footage from a WhatsApp team from the Grandma or
