Whip work. in case they forgot, it's off T Grizzlies, they forgot. Okay. 99 overall. I love that song. First track of the album. Yes. Set the tone for the album. You know how we feel about tone. Yes. and yeah, Grizz back, album back, so much stuff with that. I ain't even mean around. Exactly. my bad. I used to be a rapper. Uncle Sheen back. Uncle Sheen back. Mm-hmm. But yeah, 99 overall. T Grizzly, heavy in the whip. Okay. I ain't mad at that, man. I think we were talking about it earlier today. Like T Grizzly's project is definitely fire. So I I agree with that one. I'm sure you won't agree with mine. but my song of the week is entitled Round and Round. it is off of DDG's new project, Hidathon. and this song features 42 Doug, Pluto, SMJ, and Bankroll Nye. I don't know what Bankroll Nye is in SMJ. They're two like younger female rappers. They did okay. Pluto did good, DDG and 42 Doug Kill Dare versus The Beat is crazy, music video, essay where you already know around there. That shit is fire. but hey, that's my type of music. I know I know you're not a fan of it, but hey, I enjoyed it. All I said when we were talking about DDG is I don't be typing them in as a rap when I'm looking for music, I've never typed DDG in my search bar. And that's no offense. It's just for one, I'm I'm a good amount older than him. Yeah, of course you are. But there's a lot of younger episodes. And his Yeah, he just I just I don't think D D and then think rap. I think D D and I think stream. I think that and I'm so it's yeah. So I just I don't know. It just the two don't connect for me. I've heard him rap. He not bad. he probably not say the best streamer rapper, but outta the rappers that be try the streamers that be trying to rap, he up he top five. But I just I just don't be, you know. And I'm sure it got his wave and he got the millions of eyes on him, so I'm sure it's gonna do numbers. So I'm not mad at it. But yeah, I just don't be typing in D D G into the search. That's it. I feel you, man. I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan of D D G but I definitely enjoy some of his songs. Like he had a project that came out prior to this one that I listened to a couple songs off of and I actually enjoyed it. So I mean I'll give his albums a listen. Like do I go to him for bars? No, but I I do personally feel like the name of the project is it it suits cause I mean he does have a lot of hits on there. A lot of like strip club, dance and party club songs on there. He went streamer DJ Khaled. Yeah, nah, that project was fire. And it got a lot of features on it, kinda like what you said, man. He didn't really stream stream with DJ Kelly. Yeah. Pretty much. I think that's what his hid-a-thon streaming thing that he does is similar like that, right? Bunch of rappers come together and start making songs. Yeah, nah, man. So that's my song of the week. you know, if you guys have not heard these songs, definitely check out. You guys know how me and Shiki get down. Every time we sit down here on this couch, we're gonna talk about the songs that have been playing in our whip consistently. and you know, try to put you guys on you know, new and good music. So definitely check out those songs. I can't tell you. Dose Dose tries as well. And you know, the good thing about it is that, you know, peanut butter and jelly, right? You got Dose, you know, he's the jelly. He brings, you know, the flavor, you know, the the high profile and all of that to the music, you know, the variety. That's really Shiki comes with the plain Jane, just peanut butter. That's it. Just peanut butter butter. Nah, first We go all natural peanut butter. All peanuts, all organic. Yep. You feel me? Good for you. No additives. Dry as fuck. Yep, I gotcha. Actually it's a little moist. You gotta mix it together if it sits too long because it's pure. Mm-hmm. That's why it's called a choke sandwich when you eat it. Cause just that hard to go down. Pause. Whoa. So Alright, so we're not starting the season. My look. I got a good variety of music for the people, you know? So okay, all right. All right. Mm-hmm. Move it, move it, move. Moving on around. Let's do that. All right, let's move on. Let's do that here on the no sleep pod. We are going to jump into our music video spotlight. And the music video that we would like to spotlight tonight, Shiki was talking about He got a hot new music video out. And that music video is entitled Robbery 10 by T Grizzly. I'll start out. The reason why this music video was selected by me and Shiki, a couple reasons. I will start with the song first. If you guys are not familiar with T Grizzly, you know that he does these robbery songs. He's been doing it from one way on down to 10 now. And I will say to T Grizzly, and I'll say this with without A hesitation. He one of the best storytelling rappers in my opinion is out right now when it comes down to like spitting those bars out of the new school, right? And this new song is no different, right? And the music video is just crazy. it's a it's a Jerry production video. he and Sheik was talking about it like honestly, I I think he need a movie rule after that. Exactly. It was crazy. It was fire, man. Just the story. We already know he gives a hell of a story. you know, the actual video effects. Crazy. I don't wanna give it all away. But definitely check it out if you haven't checked it out already. The colors, the graphics. Somebody Four K come get his man a roll. Yeah. For real. Acting was man, I it's better acting on this video than T movies. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie to you. It's some terrible Tube movies. I think T Grizzly is in a T movie. I'm sure I'm mistaken. Probably is, but top tier, production, Great execution because it's one of them songs that you can see it unfolding in your head. And so when you've seen it in the video done perfectly, it's like, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. One of them ones. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie to you, man. I w I was pleasantly surprised. and I ain't gonna say pleasantly surprised. I mean, Grizzly, let me take that back. Because Grizz Grizzly kills almost every video he does. I just didn't think it was gonna be that good. I I knew it was gonna be good. Because I've seen robbery videos and all of them have been good. But this one is yeah, yeah. I'm looking forward to more robberies. I'll be honest, I never get tired of the robberies. I never get tired of them. I always look forward to more robbery songs. Songs. All right. We all know. If you know about Grizz, you know it ain't look, it's Storytelling is street music. Quality street music in the words of my brother Sheiky. Right. you already gave your thoughts on it.

Let's jump into our segment here. You guys are familiar. One of the fan favorites. From IG to NSP. Hey. And the first post that we are going to speak about today is by I Love J Squared. You guys may have seen this guy online. And the caption reads, Young Dro said. Let's roll a clip. Young Dro said, Dro, I'm clean in this bitch. Now I'm finna shoulder lean in this bitch. Nigga, book. Carbon 15 in this bitch. This grand hustle team of kings is getting rich. I lean and get lit. Lima being six. I take breath. The opposite a promotine miss. I ride 26 and let my nine screens flip. Draw be watching Oprah Mac 9 up in the clip. Triple black phantom, nigga, but nah, it ain't tip. Well, Lucky Charms diamonds, man, but nah, it ain't flip. Hey, bones. Okay, then I let my shoulder lean. And I bet my car talk. And I bet my motor clean. Sue a side doors, brown rover look like poking beans. Everybody know me in the club cause they smoking me. Drove a hole scope of me. Ice come from bulk or reton. Hunted carrots have froze for an eon. What? What are we talking about? Shiki. I'm gonna let you stop, man. What's what's what's your thoughts around this clip here from Brother J Squid? I mean, he on point. I feel like it's a lot that don't know about Drew. Especially Drew, because Drew They don't really know about they don't really know about Drew. Was Atlanta famous and Hood famous and he said it himself, him and TI said that he didn't really put his whole ass into it, Paul. You feel me? So he could have been a lot bigger than he was, but for those that know, they know. And so now with this 20 been 20, come drop it back out like it's nude. He done posted the videos for everything. So he buzzing again. T.I. buzzing again, so it's a great time for that whole grand hustle to make that resurgence. Everybody get another bag. If they can run back all these shows, they can run back these albums. Because you see Hove then did it. Nas then did it. Everybody re-rolling out. Yep. Yeah, and catching that catching that bag, man. Yeah, for for those that don't know, like Shiki say, you know, it is officially twenty years since Best Things Smoking. That is young Dro's first tape, which man, I remember when I got the CD, I was playing it like crazy. so it's 20 year anniversary, and he has released three new music videos from that project that came out twenty years ago, right? So definitely a resurgence of Dro. the video from J Squared is just proof. That you know, good music never dies, right? It does. and his sound back then doesn't sound too much out of place now, right? And I think that, and then also from a bar perspective, I think like with our new school of rappers, right? It's some spitters out here. I don't want to say there isn't any spitters, but to hear someone like Dro and then hear that is a little refreshing. So I think like some of the younger, you know, audience base is catching on to it now. They're like, damn, damn, I ain't no shit. And I think even for the people that was around for that time period, like kind of like what they said, they would he, you know, Dro didn't put his whole ass in it. Also, I don't think that there was a big pushing behind it. So he kind of got overshadowed because TI Man, look, bro. I feel like if Tip felt like he was taking it serious, he would have he would have did as much as Drove was willing to do. And I agree with that. But best thing smoking did not get a lot of promotion. And I'll be honest, I know a lot of people that haven't heard the project. I heard it. But you heard shoulder lane. Of course. Yeah, you ain't run away from shoulder lane. Absolutely. That song was everywhere for a while. He had a hit. He had a hit. And I feel like if he had it had legs, I just feel like if he would have put the type of work in that you needed to put in to be a global star, he could have. And did not. I think I feel like he said it himself, if I'm Yeah, I mean that that could definitely be facts, man. But I I I think honestly now with the way music is going, I'm hoping that this is just a ploy to release new music. I'm hoping it's just isn't just a way to make money and then go away again. hopefully I'm hoping that he's in the studio actively making new music 'cause I would be interested to hear if Drew still got it. You need new Dro? Yeah. I need I need to know if he still got it. I mean that's really the thing. I mean we look at this new resurgence of old rappers. No, I mean real like this new resurgence of old rappers. Like some of them still I mean a lot of them still got it. You know what I'm saying? So I want you to see if he can still hang with the best of them. Spit the buzz like you like Tip was spitting on, you know, Killer King. I wanna see. I think Drove still got top tier bars. Okay. All right, let's see it then, man. I don't wanna keep seeing no videos of songs that came out twenty years ago. But I do think it's a great idea. It's very smart to still get money, create a resurgence. Not have to start off. I get all of that. Need the content. Definitely. So I get it. and I support it all the way, my brother. So yeah, man. good to see that he's finally getting his flowers. All right, moving along here and jumping into our next clip here on From IG to NSP. This one is by at Hey Bert Flex. this is actually a brother from Baltimore. and he is rapping over the over the juvenile hobby, but he's talking about a lot of things that's going on here in Baltimore and our city. So let's roll a clip. Say you from Bor High. You was lippin' down 83, fucked around and got a ticket, huh? Your pockets hurt, you need some help, huh? You went to Social Security building three days straight and they said, Well po, my dorm and ratchet in his nasty, huh? So you went down to towns and blowin' racks, thinking you fancy, huh? Baltimore Street got all the holes, huh? Damn near went broke at lunch and spent the rest of Crazy Johns, huh? Waiting at mercy, got you tight, huh? You went to get some meriting and damn near died over something light, huh? You work at Amazon and spells point, huh? You do something strange, but that not your bang, cause it's on point, huh? You got some money and move to the county, huh? You was dragging on park heights, hitting that struck, getting that money, huh? Use the dance at the docks, huh? You was at seven west bugging in the bathroom and you got caught, huh? Okay. Shiki. I look, I'll start out, man. Like the great thing about this clip is anybody that's from Baltimore is gonna immediately know what he's talking about. Every last bar. Every single bar what he's talking about, right? talked about Baltimore Street, a place that, you know, really the only place you can go get some go see some shakies. in Baltimore. and Seven West. I mean, I ain't gonna multiple people have been good. Court having sex in the bathroom at Seven West. Nacho Bangers. Got some money and move out to the county. It was a lot of referencing moments. And I think it was pretty clever. I mean, I ain't never seen nobody do it. And the handbeat was was clever too. As well as it's been what twenty five years when they since that came out. Yeah. So it was like resurgence. Tom it niggas niggas born and niggas that's sixteen right now don't know that song. They don't. That sixteen to twenty one don't know that song. And it's crazy because like we hear it and we just like, you know, it ain't nostalgia. Yeah, it's nostalgia. But it's so many that's what I said. The same thing about Dro, the same thing go with this beat. Like, yeah, he did a skit on it, but in some ways it's gonna help juvenile, it's gonna get more attention on the on the song, bro, cause people gonna be like, Where'd that beat come from? So Yeah, nah, man, I 100% agree. She you what's your thoughts, man. Anything else you want to add about the video? I thought it was clever. I thought it was funny. I thought it was accurate. Yeah. So, yeah, nah, I fucking. Yeah, no, I don't know if he I don't know if he's a rapper or not. I don't know if he's a rapper, content creator. I I wouldn't know. But, you know, pretty, pretty sim he makes media. Yeah, it was definitely more comedy rap, but it still was pretty good though. I mean, I look. It wasn't listen, it wasn't trash. Exactly. It wasn't trash and very accurate. So job well done. Shout out to Hey, Burt Flex. Baltimore, we see you, dummy. Yes. All right, moving on. Hey, look, man, we gotta give a shout out to niggas. You know what I'm saying? And you know, definitely tune in. We got more content coming. You know, Eldos Baltimore for dummies. You know, it's coming, you know. Your dumbass. All right, let's go. moving on to our next segment. Entitled, What's the new? And for our fans, you all guys already know, you know, we like to talk about. Things within the media, things within the news, where me and Shiki will unpack some things. So let's start out here with our first article. The first article is Boosie Badass goes viral with performance in front of the White House. man. Boosie Badass has certainly had his fair share of issues with the Trump administration. Despite fancying himself as a Trump supporter. A while back, the artist has been left feeling cheated by the current president. Like all of us. If you remember, Boosie paid 600k to two lobbyists who claimed they could get the rapper a pardon. In the end, the two lobbyists did not make good on their promise. The contract allegedly stipulated that Bootsy could get a 50% refund. Unfortunately, that refund never came, and now Bootsy is suing. Are you putting a T in Boosie? Boosie. Nigga said Bootsy? Shut up, yeah. In the midst of all this, Boosie badass found himself in Washington, D.C. this past week. Where he could been where he could be seen setting up a stage in front of the White House. He subsequently put on an impromptu performance and even garnered a small crowd. The crowd seemed to be surprised by Boosy's presence, although they definitely gave him the time of day. Shiki, what's your thoughts? I mean, listen, you play silly games, you win silly prizes. if you thought the Trump administration, anything connected to Trump, was about to work out in your favor, So, I mean, give him his money. I will I'm all I'm always rooting for everybody black, as our girl would say. But I mean you also can't be surprised at the outcome. Yeah. No, I I I would agree. I'm I'm I'm really curious, like, did he come here for that purpose only or was he here for like something and then decided to stop? By the White House. I wouldn't have went out my way to do that. That's why I was asking. But at the same time, everything is content. So it's like I mean But for somebody like Boozy or Boo Boosie. why would he come to DC just to come to D I I think he had something going on. I don't know. Who knows? We could be wrong. He might have been making his way to Morgan Homecoming. Potentially. Potentially. That could have been the case. Probably might have had a a bag up here to get. Yeah. Something like that. You know, this was the weekend of MSU. So Yeah, yeah. Go Bears. But yeah, nah man, yeah, definitely. Go Bears, Morgan State. but get Boosie his money. Yeah, he not getting his We know he not. And you know, pretty pretty hilarious with all the people that was pulling up and watching the performance and got their phones out and things of that nature, so He came to make a scene. The scene was made. Exactly. Mission accomplished. All right. Moving on here within our next article within the media. Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Early Philly years are coming to TV. Before Hollywood, sitcom fame, blockbuster movie, and a global celebrity, there were house parties in West Philadelphia. Two teenagers were trying to turn a local hip-hop partnership into Into something much bigger. The stretch of Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff's history is now headed towards television with 215, a scripted series inspired by the duo's rise, Smith's Westbrook Studios, and the Malar group are currently developing the project. Shiki, what's your thoughts around this? I'm looking forward to it. Did you watch Bel-Air? Of course. That was that was One of my favorite shows for what Really? Mm. Okay. but yeah. If it's You didn't like him? I I'm and I just the way you said really. No, I just don't remember us having conversations about it. So Yeah, no, I like LA a lot. but yeah, no. I was saying that to say this. I think it was very extremely well done. so if if it's made in that type of vein, I think it'd be great. I think it's a great story. Will Smith's been famous our whole lot. Yes. and he's done. We've seen him be everybody else. Exactly. You've seen him play everybody else and give you the backstory on everybody else's life and all these millions of characters. So I think it's gonna be amazing to see his come up. Yeah. a good personal story. Nobody ever seen him. Right. But also I also feel like this will give Jazzy Jeff the light shine that he deserves. He deserves it. Because Jazzy Jeff Jeff has kind of been like a if you know, you know. Because if you only know him from The Fresh Prince, he just Will's goofy friend. Yeah, but it was Wait, but if it wasn't for Jazzy Jeff, it wouldn't be no fresh prince. It wouldn't be no fresh prints. The DJ. was the guy back then. You feel me? So the day DJ was the name. It was DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, right? So it's like we wouldn't have Will Smith it was if it wasn't for Jeff Jeff. So I feel like this will help shed much needed light on Jazzy Jeff, give him his just due, make him more of a household name, which he deserves to be, and really show how they put on for Philly and how how they got started. So I'm I'm I'm extremely excited to watch this, looking forward to it. Yeah, nah, man, I would agree. The same thing. Like you said, like I don't think we really ever got like a story about Will Smith personally. Yeah. Right. Like everything's always been about a character that he's played. Like even Bel Air was loosely based off his life. It's not his whole life. You know what I'm saying? So it's like that wasn't his life. That was based off it was a d dramat dramatization of the Fresh Prince. None of that is his life. Bel Air is just a No, well, well, no, that's what I'm saying. So Bel so was Belair loosely based off of his life, or was it someone else's life? Just get educate me. Are you at you saying that? The actual Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the shit. gotcha. So the Fresh Prince of Bel Air is not that's not his life. At all. No. I mean, up to the the the West Philadelphia born and raised. Exactly. That part is him. But the getting kicked out moving with your Yeah, no, I know that wasn't his story. But I thought some of it. But he ain't hoop he ain't do none of he ain't do nothing. Yeah. He was that's a character of Will Smith. See, yeah. So Will hasn't given us anything about himself. Exactly. And Ballet was just the dramatization. Of course. I know that much. But no, I what I'm saying is he ain't never gave us nothing personal. So I'm excited. You don't know Will Smith. Yeah, I don't. You know, you just know him as inspirational, yo, and actor, yo. He Ali. He he Hancock. He you feel me? He all these other people, but you don't really know Will Smith. That's why you it's you you are surprised when stuff happened to Will Smith because who you perceive Will Smith to be isn't who Will Smith is. Facts. So when when he smacked people slap quick. When he cool with his wife being in situationships and all things just like Hancock would never. You feel separate a person from the character. So it's like so you see this and be like, what is going on? Will Will Master Will would never do that. Exactly. You feel me? Yeah, you're right. Come on now. So yeah, that's that we don't know Will. So it's it's a good chance for us to get to know the backstory of Will and Jazzy. Yeah, nah, man. I'm excited for it. I'm excited for it. So, you know, hey guys, if you guys are excited for it, definitely be on the lookout. This is something that they have coming to TV. It is entitled 215, Area Cold for Philadelphia. All right. Moving along here within the no sleep pod. Tony Braxton poses with Birdman in Sultry 59th birthday photo shoot. 59 looks good on Tony Braxton, and she clearly knows it.

That like the ones used to come on the information at the end of the night. Yeah. When the slow jams would come on. Yeah. His joints used to be on there too. When you fall asleep in front of the TV, you wake up and that shit on Facts. Mm-hmm. Infomercials. but nah, man, you are my lady, all those songs, man. my lady. Yeah, nah, man. He had Have You Ever Loved Somebody? It's so many songs, man. So many songs by you know, Brother Jackson. my fame my favorite Jackson, that's not a Jackson. Yeah. Nah man.

Moving along here within the no-sleep pod. We still got some more. We almost about to wrap up here in our what's the new segment. But the next article that I would like to talk about is Rick Ross gets his bowl of pasta after Rigatoni meme goes viral. Heavy marinara. Yeah, she's making it up. Of course. It's totally fabricated, my brother. Let me hear your side. What my weekend looks like, I'll be in Dubai tomorrow. Paris Saturday. Rick. And I plan on having a bowl of rigatoni with heavy marinara Sunday. I'll repeat. Rick, are these two? Thank you all for your time. Rick. Rick, give us one second. Enjoy your day. Thank you. With heavy marinara. Sha thought, Shiki, you the one told me about this. Man, fucking Rick Russ. how unserious he was in that po that post that out interview, I feel like he just like, man, another day. you feel me? No big thing. I paid a lawyer. I washed my hands of this as quickly as it happened. Pretty much. do I think he did it? I don't know. I mean, do I feel like Rick Ross will put hands? It's the same nigga that said Molly all in a drink, she ain't even know it. so a nigga that a Molly a drink without her even knowing it probably would choke and slap you. so I'll say that. But but but the the heavy marinara been gonna. Crazy on the internet. It's crazy. I done seen multiple skits already. Heavy Mar. He didn't have to say that though. He had to. And then the way he said it was so unserious. It's crazy. He's unfazed. But I guess he feels like he's the biggest boss we didn't seen thus far. So you were dumbass. Yeah, I guess, yo. I guess. But it's crazy how like the most random things can be what makes you go by. And I think that this is the example of that. He knew what he was doing. Yeah, he definitely knew what he was doing. He wanted to take attention off of it. That's really what it is. Make a joke to make a t to take attention off of it. And now he done went viral off of saying he won a heavy marinara. But really the main thing people should be talking about is why he slapped and beat the shit out of her or whatever situation may be. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Slapped and put hands on her. So But yeah, man, just you know, I would say honestly the main thing about this article, man, you never know what might make you go viral. But Rick Ross, funny ass motherfucker. And you know, if he did do this, you know. Justice. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. All right, moving on. Joe Button Podcast gets into tense argument over Tory Lane's tour. Joe was not around for his podcast last episode, but fans didn't miss out on much. That's because its other hosts got into a heated argument about the not on tour, a series of live events organized by Tory Lane's while he serves his prison sentence for shooting Megan the Stallion. Go. For those unaware, the tour recently kicked off in New York City and will feature special guest performances, DJ Sets, and an overall listening session for his material. While the Joe Button podcast seems to agree that this is a creative idea for Tori to make the most out of a situation, they got into an argument over whether or not this warrants backlash aga backlash against folks support of the tour. So I will say, I do think it's a very clever idea. Eat a goat. For the people that don't mind that type of experience, who are we to say that they shouldn't support it? I I'm not one to tell people what they should support. I know what the fuck I'ma support. And what I would say is would I go to it? Probably. I doubt 110% I'd pull up. We've been to You know, they got that the big thing that's going on right now, like trap karaoke, R and B and vibes, all of these events where it's basically an event that's curated with a DJ and an MC and people in the audience like they at a concert and having a good time dancing to these DJ sets. It's no different. As well as the headphone parties where it's just silent and the niggas got headphones and you having a time of your life listening to a nigga DJ through your headphones. Pretty much. It's no different than sitting in your house listening to headphones. So it's like Come on, man. Like, I think we're we're we're we're being a little hard on Tori, right? And I do think that for him to do that, is he probably one of the first of the kinds to do it. So That's what I'm saying. You on tour, not on tour. If he never did this before, watch, watch what type of doors he's about to open up. yeah, it's the new thing. Listen, niggas like, I can go on tour, not go on tour. Say less. Say l I'll just send the music. Yep. And then I'll let I'll let you Actually, he's not the first to do it. Jeezy did it. Did he? Yeah. Remember that orchestra thing that he did? He wasn't at those. He did it once in Atlanta and then he did it all around the world. That orchestra, the orchestra thing, the TM one really? That wasn't a live Jeezy. That was not a live G. We had one down at the I wanted to go to the one at the Opera House. Jeezy was not there. They just played his music and then they would the DJ would play the verses and everything over the orchestra. Yes. It was all orchestra, no Jeezy. Because if you think about it, when you go to see an orchestra or an opera or whatever, like a lot of times it just be the orchestra playing. That's literally what it was. Well, I mean, that's yeah, that's the orchestra. But That's what that's why I said they had it at yeah, I thought it was Jeezy with a or orchestra behind them. Hmm. Nope. He did the one in Atlanta and I I think he might have done a couple, but no, the actual tour, because I wanted to go, I was pricing tickets and everything. And you remember when it came here in Baltimore, everybody was out there all dressed up, everybody put on their little orchestra suits and all that. Jesus was not there. So yeah, nah man. So he's not the first to do it, but this is still pretty clever for him. I mean he's just got guest acts and all that. And he's doing all of this from behind bars. After he just survived attempt murder. He really the GOAT. Like, he really him, bro. He just dropped top five albums of the year. He about to have a tour without going on tour. He innocent. All the things. Definitely innocent. All the things, bruh. Definitely innocent. All the things. Nick, he really the goat. Like, ain't you've never seen this type of run. Like, other niggas have been locked up. Albums was trash. Definitely. Or production was pr trash. Or the vocals are trash. Something was trash. He's putting out bangers from behind bars that sound like he had in the studio. It's crazy, bro. Definitely wild. And going on tour. Yeah. without going on definitely wild and definitely in the comments. Legendary. Definitely legendary. Legendary. Yeah man. Shout out to Tory, bro. And and like I said, I would definitely be in attendance. But I think for them to have a whole argument over there is just a little wild. Cause it's like people gonna support what they want to support. And at the end of the day, if you're a fan of Tory, you're gonna support in whatever capacity you can. Right. And that's one of the, you know, people be forgetting, like as artists, you know nothing without your fans. So Exactly. And he did some numbers. So New York fuck with him. Now that you've sat with the album, where you placing that of albums this year? The Tory Lane's album. Put me on the spot. I mean because it probably would be like it would be two or three. Cause you already know what my number one is. We don't gotta about that. Moving along. He's also from Canada. Moving right along. He just dropped a I did want to talk about that. Yeah, I know. Both of them the guy in the city. Well one of is the what do they call them? The six. I don't like to say this. One's the six guy. The guy and the six guy, right? The six guy. He's definitely the guy. One from I love Iceman, right? But Tori definitely is two or three for me because I gotta go back down my list of my most liked albums this year. Yeah, 100% this year, absolutely. Perfect. Yeah, no. And like we said, from a double, a double album perspective, because he did our double album is definitely better than Drake. I ain't gonna lie to you. But Icemane has a Iceman. All the way through. But he was but what I wanted to talk about, which is kind of taking us off, but don't care. This We release of what's the album? Habibti, Deluxe. Yeah. It's doing record numbers. And I didn't put this in here as, you know, piece of news we would talk about, but I'm just gonna bring it up off a whim. And I ain't even listened to Deluxe, because I don't know what's different on it, to be real. I know he did release a song. I think the one with Don Tolliver's new that wasn't on Habib T. And maybe the one with Lo Shimmy might be new too. But I be honest, those songs didn't move. The Don Tolliver one's hard. Yeah, I you keep saying Lo Shimmy, my guy, yo, stop, bro. Lo Shimmy and Don Tolliver knocked So don't shimmy. No, no, no, no. Listen. I like Don Tolliver. Do I like all these? You know we record these, right? Of course. I have everything you've said about these people. And we can go back. On tape. You never heard me say these were my guys. You know who my guys are, because you know what I listen to. I just like the music. I can like the music. I like Don Tolliver. He ain't my guy though. I don't act. I only got a select few of guys. So don't do that. Low Shimmy ain't my guy either. I just like his music. I do. All right. All right. But All the stuff they do not good, bro. I ain't gonna ever be the one say everything he did good. Now lo shimmy album I told you I like. Yeah, I'm not. But Don Tolliver got some stuff I didn't care for either. But at the end of the day, the stuff they did with Drake is decent, but I don't I didn't like a BT like that. I didn't. Did you listen to Deluxe? You you got a lot of respect for him. What'd you think about? Drake, yeah, cause you gave it a listen. I didn't give it a listen. It's not that I don't have respect for him, it's just the project. I just didn't care for the It was new music. It just got played. I mean it was same thing. Yeah. It was okay. All right. It wasn't garbage. It was okay. Yeah, no, man. But I think I think just to talk about this, I mean, because really the main purpose wasn't to talk about the Joe Button podcast. But for me, I think honestly, like a smart idea, great execution, and I hope he executes this all across the country. Regardless, he getting a bag. Yep, exactly. In a in jail bag. Mm-hmm. All right, man. Hey, well, wrapping this up, we're gonna jump into one more piece here within the what's the news. This is actually based around local news. Something we want to do a little different here within season two. You'll hear a lot more things about Baltimore here. So we definitely want to talk about some local news. and a lot of people here may have heard about this, but unfortunately, sadly, a 12-year-old girl was killed in a crossfire during a youth football game in Baltimore, four adults injured. Baltimore City Commissioner Richard Warley said officers were called around 6:5 p.m. that was Saturday last week. to Leon Day Park on North Franklin Town Road. Worley said officers arrived and found a woman with a 12-year-old girl suffering from a gunshot, from gunshot wounds. Warley said the officers rendered aid and the victims were taken to hospitals where the girl died. A 12-year-old girl who was probably down there watching football was shot and killed, Warley said. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in the community in our city. Our officers are following multiple leads, but we're urging anyone who may have seen anything to call 911 or Metro Crime Stoppers. I know that this young lady's name was Chloe. Rest in peace to Chloe. I mean, I I'll I'll speak a little bit on it, and you know, obviously this is a conversation more than anything, but we both have children who who play football. Who plays? Your son plays football. I have a son that plays football. He also played football in Baltimore City as well for a while. and, you know, Baltimore City football. We we know the culture's a little different, right? The culture's a little different, not just because we're in some areas, right? It's more that way because I would say that the competitiveness, I think the parents get a little passionate. The parents be more turnt than the kids. Way more turnt than kids. And I done been to some games where it's gotten heated. Right? I've I've seen it. Well coaching. I've Yeah. parents going to blows and kids going to blows and all kinds of stuff going on. It's Baltimore City. So you got Baltimoreans with Baltimore mentality in a ultra competitive space. Mm-hmm. Most of the time they been drinking and smoking before they got there. While they're there in the car there. and it'd be a it'd be a It'd be you'd be hard fetched to not come across some bullshit at an event that large. but real quick before you get into what you were about to say, so they found the shooter the so it was two shooters involved. the it was they recovered shell casings from I wanna say it was small short off or whatever, but a small rifle. The guy who had so the guy they caught was the guy that did the shooting towards the crowd and the children. So the one that shot the so it was one guy that was shooting in retaliation and then it was one guy that was actively trying to start the shit. He the one that pulled out drawdown, shot first, shot towards the crowd, hit the p the the bystanders, including Chloe. He was I wanna say out on probation at the time. for previous crime and has a history of crime, violent crimes. so it all fed the bill for this guy. but with that being said, I want I wanted to give you all the the layout of what happened and where we at so far with it. but yeah. But you get these I mean that's what I'm saying. You get especially where depending on what parts you in, you're gonna have Excons, current cons, people in probation y it's Baltimore City. So you're gonna have that element at every fun. But no, it is not just football, basketball, you feel me? A lot of time. I feel like maybe last year, the year before that, right off York Road, remember somebody got killed, shot and killed. they got they traced them back from a game. And that is like so yeah, man, it's unfortunately a common occurrence here. when it comes to youth sports in the city. It's bad though, bro. Like you can't even go see your little brother, your cousin, your kid or whatever to play a football game that and this this this young lady lost a life just going out to support somebody. Yeah. The fact that you feel like you need a gun at a football game. At a ch a kid's football game. It's crazy. A ch a ch we're here for the youth and nothing else. That's it. But we can't communicate. Whatever happened we got egos. Man, whatever happened with the whole like honest children. Yeah, exactly. We don't harm women and children. Like, I just don't like it's like they don't even live by that code no more. It ain't no code no more, cuz. Like that's it. That should be a time where if you see that person you beefing with and they in an open crowd, you gotta let that go, bro. They were fighting over a parking space, bro. All it started over a parking space. You shitting me. I'm dead ass serious, bro. A parking space. Altercation over and that's what I'm saying. One hot headed nigga with a gun and then another nigga with a gun defending himself. And like for one, why do you even feel the need to have a gun at a kid's So it this was this was a back and forth firing. So another person fired their gun too. Correct. But didn't hit a crowd. Correct, because he was shooting at the nigga that was shooting at him. Exactly. So yeah, they have the they have the one guy in custody believed to be the shooter that hit all the bystanders. Well, that's a blessing, but it doesn't bring back the fatality, unfortunately. it doesn't erase that. So Yeah. Mental health, bruh. Like you're also man, it's just so our friend Kool Aunt. Yes. Who's actually involved in the situation and trying to help assist with Chloe get her to a hospital and so on and so forth. So it's just like the mental health on all sides of the fact that The two involved in the initial shooting, specifically the one who draw down first, like you gotta think of a mental state of somebody that you feel me felt comfortable enough to do that. Like so much it's just so much to unpack, bro. And then how that tra how that has now traumatized everybody else involved. And it's just like And it ev it even traumatized people that wasn't there. You know what I'm saying? Like what it what it's done to our city. Cause now it's like, man, now you don't want to even go to you. You feel me? Yeah, like I mean, look, put it like this, bro. No, the PTSD, the people that were there are gonna have put it like this, Cam said children that were there. Cam said it on paying for home. Niggas get shot at a day B, right? We do. But this is a different type of situation. And this is gonna make people not even want to go. To youth Baltimore City football. Not the babies. I mean, I'm just being real. Like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. A baby losing their life, like, you know, a a child losing their life that had nothing to do with the beef or none of that. It's just, it's You don't have a level of self-control, communication, and just the wherewithal to be like, not here. Exactly. It's no way this is that serious. This is not the place. It's no way, bro. A parking spot? No way. No way, bro. It's tough, man. Rest in peace, Chloe. Rest in peace, Chloe. Praise to her and her family, man. Hundred percent, man. I couldn't imag I got a eleven and a seventeen, bro. I couldn't I can't imagine my heart goes out for anybody that has to bury a child, man. Yeah, no, man. Especially a young child that hasn't even gotten a chance yet. And and and a child losing their life over senseless violence. Like that that there was nothing that warranted any of this. Like we said, man, have the self control to know the time and the place. And honestly, that whole situation didn't even warrant a gun. But even if it was a altercation call altercation, and you know you're in a public space where there's crowds of people, why would you be opening up and shooting into it just does not yeah, mental health. Like you said, mental health. and I I just I just continue to pray for our city man and, you know, pray for prayers to Chloe's family, prayers to the city man and I just hope things get better, man. I just hope the, you know. Yeah. yeah, man. All right. That concludes our what's the new segment. you know, for our fancy our no sleepers, you know, as always, like, comment, and subscribe to the no sleep pod page. Let's jump into our next segment here. We are bringing back sleep or no. Shiki, are you ready? I am prepared. All righty. Loyalty over honesty. Are you asleep or not? I'm asleep. I don't even I don't even know how much I even believe in loyalty, to be honest. No pun intended. but I rather and honesty I feel like honesty Mm. I don't even know if honesty enough for real. That's what I'm saying. That's one reason why I I pick loyalty over honesty, to be real. Cause you could be honest. People could tell you the truth and still like have have no loyalty to you. You don't even have to tell the whole truth. As well as when you tell the truth matters too. Yeah, but it's phrased as honesty and loyalty. If I had to pick one, I'm going to pick loyalty over honesty. Yeah, I just I don't know. I probably bel I probably believe loyalty over honesty, but I feel like I' Sleep or Nah, nigga. Yeah, I know. All right, which one are you? Sleep or nah? Okay. All right, cool. So those. One for those. All right, cool. Moving on to the next one. I'd rather be underrated than be overrated. You sleep or not? Definitely rather be underrated. Okay. For sure. I rather I rather underpromise and overperform every time. Matter of fact, underpromising and overperforming is the key to life. You want to keep people happy in relationships, whether it be personal, personal, business, it romantic. Any relationship you in under what I just say? Underpromise. Overdeliver. Overperform. Overdeliver. Yeah, underdeliver, yeah. That's it, bro. Yeah, I mean, I look, I'm always gonna be the one. I like to be the underdog. I don't want people to know what I'm doing. Yeah. I want to keep the wow factor. They be like, Wow, how Joe do that? Exactly. Nah, Joe, I ain't even know yours even. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. But don't come in up here because then I might not hit that. I might not. You feel me? Your expectation and my what I plan to deliver might be two different things. So I'd much rather underpromise, overperform. Okay. And everything. I'm curious. I'm curious what your thoughts are on this next one. I'd rather go viral for something embarrassing than not go viral at all. I'd rather not go bi viral at all. I knew you I knew you were gonna say I I could care less about I know we live in and we in the media space and going viral is how you get to the chickens. but I'd rather not have a flop than than to be known for some dumb shit. So for me, I'll tell you why I picked it. I picked it because it's to be real, Obviously what we're doing right now, I don't mind being vulnerable. People can think what the fuck they want to think about me. I don't care. You can be embarrassed. I got if I got on air and I said something dumb or I got on there and I fell and bust my ass or whatever. Everybody laughed at me and talked about how ugly I look and all that. I would not care. Yeah, they're gonna do that anyway. Yeah, exactly. And that's that's why that comes to me. I don't care if it's a viral level though not go viral at all. I mean, look, I'm always gonna pick. what I'm saying is like a viral level of ugly is a different type of ugly than just being called ugly. I don't care though. I would not care. Trust me, that would not change anything with me. Even though I walked outside and people said, that's the ugly nigga from TV. I would laugh and keep going. But that's because you've lived being the virally ugly nigga your whole life. Nigga, fuck you. It's like fuck you. Fuck you, nigga. That ain't true. But what I'm saying is I would not care about Chump ass nigga. I already knew you were gonna say some shit like that. No. I have not lived like that. Nigga, shut up. You know. No. I would rather go viral than to not go viral at all. I don't care if it's embarrassing or not. I get it. You don't care. So I kind of renew I was gonna be answered. All right, cool. Hmm. Hmm. Paid in full is better than Belly, you sleep or no? Paid and full is definitely better than Belly. Okay. as a movie. It's just bet it's better written, better direct. It's all a belly is is a cult classic because it's a Hype Will it looked like a Hike Williams music video for the whole thing. and it's so it's ultra it's got that flair to it, and it draws you in with your favorite artists of the time. So, it's more of a the nostalgia. It's like really it's it's bad. It's it's so bad it's good type thing, you feel me? But paid in full is a r is a good casted properly. It has real actors in it acting, thesbians at that. the storyline is congruent. Everything makes sense, it's just it's well done. There's the cat The time period that it's in, everything. Do you see the sobs with the BBSs and all of it just makes sense? The budget probably well, I don't know what the budget was, so I ain't gonna say that much. But it looks like the budget was bigger and you know, all of it. So I'm as a movie, Payden Fool is a better movie. As a story, Peyton Fool definitely had a way better story than Belly. Thinking. I don't even know why you even thinking. Payton for bro, Belly didn't have Belly had a d a a okay story. It wasn't as deep like yo, Payton Full had layers to it. It was nah, it was more shootouts and shit like I think I don't know. That's a tough one. I ain't gonna hold you. I defin I well personally I enjoyed the plot a lot more for Payton Four. Payton Fool had some laugh worthy moments and It's a better movie. I that's the right. You cried a bit when the little boy dies. It's a lot to the movie, bro. It's a lot to belly too. I just I mean, I don't remember nothing belly made me cry. What do you mean belly? I ain't gonna say cry, but you say. When Naz was in the project sitting on the this on the the bench with Lil Yo. Matter of fact, you know he got killed in real life too. and that was in the Yeah. when the pastor was talking the the DMX before he was trying to kill him, that ain't hit you right here in the it did in the sternum. It did, it did. Like it had his spots, cause I just I don't know. I don't know. Painful just has so many but it is a better movie. Layers of emotions, bro. That movie was just fire. Better actors. Yeah, but yeah, a hundred percent, man. All right. I prefer R and B classics. Over today's R and B. You sleep enough. Alright I knew what you was gonna say, yes. But yeah, it's it's something about R and B classics, bro. It's always gonna hit you definitely. Even the niggas making the days R and B prefer R and B classics. Yeah. Classics. Alright. Well, we got one more, man. I think this will sum up our brand and hopefully we're aligned here. But I'd rather get no sleep and make it happen. Facts. You don't even got to Then to sleep eight hours and miss the opportunity. Don't even finish that. It's season two, y'all. Y'all already know what's going on. No sleep. This is my camera. Yes. Season two, the no sleep pod. I rather never sleep in my life and get to the bag. The chicken. That's it. There we go. All right. Shiki said it. Moving on along here. Moving on along. We are going to jump into nostalgia moments. And a nostalgia moment that I would like to talk about if we got anybody on the show or watching the show. If we have anybody that's watching the show, that is what? What's the age group? About 30 or younger cell phones? Childhood? Cell phones? Mm-hmm. Before the group chat. Before cell phones, is what you're asking me? That's the nostalgia moment. It's before cell phones. Before the group chat. Before the group chat. BC, before Sellys. Mm-hmm. I mean it was the greatest time of our lives. Yes. But really, just because we got away with everything. Yeah, yeah. I mean, before the group chat, before streaming, you already know. We come home. Go straight to the TV, 106 and pop, either pop in your favorite game, go outside, ride your bike. There was always something to do, right? I noticed like what's different now with our kids is, you know, they come home, they meanly go to their phone, or they come in on the phone. And that's like their whole life. you know, they come out their room here and there, but most of the time they do a lot of their socializing on the phone. We had to do a lot of our socializing within the neighborhood, right? Or either we would watch something on TV. yeah, we had the ability to pick up the phone, but to be honest, you weren't allowed to be on that phone too long because guess what? Your parents need to use it. And it was only one phone line in the house. I'm sorry. I I didn't have that type of poverty. You didn't. You didn't have that type of poverty. Yeah we had two lines. yeah I had two lines. It was a line just for Shiki. No, we had a computer. So remember you Yeah, I know. I I had I had one of those too, but what happens when somebody wants to get on the internet and somebody on the phone? Well then you only got one that that's my point. So yes, there wasn't a poverty situation for the smart ass Shiki. Because I had internet as well. I got you. So we had two lines as well. She didn't have his own fucking phone line, did you? Did you have your own phone line? No, I didn't. Okay, and how many times does somebody pick up the phone and tell you that you needed to hang up so they could use it? All the time. Shut up. You know what I'm talking about. These kids don't gotta deal with that. They got a cell phone. Ain't nobody telling them to hang up. Unless we tell it's time for dinner or whatever, you gotta hang up. But stop that. They ain't got no interruptions. Yeah. They live a life. Yeah, so there is a difference there. But we got we got away with everything because we couldn't be tracked. We'd be everywhere because we couldn't be tracked. Absolutely. I don't play about that tracking right now. Yeah, I've every kid's phone I pay for? Phone I pay for and I Apple watch. Absolutely. And the headphones. Everything has a tracking. Mm-hmm. I can find you no matter what you got. So outside of one six and puck, like what what were some other things you liked? I let's let's also let's talk about less Ricky Lake. Saturday morning cartoons. Jenny Jones. Yeah, I love Jenny Jones. Jenny Jones was my favorite out of all of them. It had the most titties. Yeah. But yeah. Jenny Jones was my favorite. By far. Because she had the most titties. Yeah, no, she did. Yeah. She did.
